SUBSCRIPTION---$5.00 PER YEAR IN ADVAKCGE SENATOR (?) T. B. WALKER. The Pioneer, as well as other news- papers printed in this part of the state, have lately received a neatly- printed and bound copy of “Ad- dress of Hon. T. B. Walker at Dedi- catory Services; Greatest Layman of the Age Delivers an Impressive and |, Effective Speech, Which Brings Out Some Strong Language — Makes Personal Appeal to His Employes.” A glance at the booklet shows that the text is the reproduction of a speech which the noted Minne- apolis lumberman delivered at Akeley at the occasion of the dedication of the new M. E. church at that place. The speech is a very worthy effort, and does credit to him who delivered it; but wheretore distributing broad- cast copies of a speech that was of local import? About the time the speech was delivered at Akeley, an announc- ment was made in Minneapolis news- paper to the effect that Hon. T. B. Walker was an avowed candidate for the office of U. S. senator, to succeed the Hon. Moses E. Clapp, junior senator, whose present term of office will soon expire. Is it possible that the circulation of the speech delivered by ‘‘The Greatest Layman of the Age” has to do with the announced candidacy of Mr. Walker for 1. S. senator? Perish the thought. “NUFF SED.” With Beltrami county in the midst of a county official house-cleaning and the Bemidji Pioneer and Sen- tinel telling the people about each others soiled reputations the news- paper readers of the county are treated to new sensations every week.—Parkers Prairie Independ- ent.

OPPOSITION T0 TARIFF REPORT Southern Senators Particu- larly Antagonistic, —_— BAILEY- LEAVES CAUCUS Democrats of Upper House Decided Against Filibustering as a Party and the Texan Walks Out—Fourteen Republican Votes Are Necessary to Defeat the Pending Measure in the Senate. Washington, Aug. 2—In both the senate and house there were intima- tlons of opposition to the adoption of the conference report on the tariff bill, which for a time looked formidable. The situation in the house soon cleared up, but the clouds did not_dis- perse so rapidly in the senate. Early in the day it was stated that twenty-eight Republican votes would be cast against’the bill in the house. The afternoon, however, had not pro- gressed far when the Republican lead- ers announced with absolute assur- LLRIGN 7D O LAY IEIWRALTR SENATOR BAILEY. ance their confidence in the passage of the bill by a majority of at least ten votes. Most of the antagonism came from the representatives who are opposed to free hides, but there was also some on other accounts. The most intense feeling in the senate came from Southern Demo- crats, who found In the action of the conference in putting binding twine on the free list and leaving cotton bagging on the dutiable st an exhi- bition of partiality which they de- tounced as altogether unwarranted. This sentiment found free expression in the caucus of Democratic senators, but the caucus reached a decision against a fillbuster as a party. Bailey Quite the Caucus. There was, however, an understand- ing that if individual Democratic sen- ators desired to resort to dilatory tac- tics they should be left free to do so. This latter decision was taken be- cause of the attitude of Senator Bai- ley. Mr. Bailey left the caucus before it had concluded, telling the other members that he proposed to pursue any course which he deemed best in the Interest of the Southern planters. ‘When, afterwards, he was asked whether he would speak at length he declined to say what his course would be, but it is understood that he and some other Democratic senators will exert themselves to the utmost to obtain recommittal of the conference report with instructions to take care of the South in tho matter of cotton bagging. There is also much fault found among Democratic senators over the increased tax on tobacco, which, they declare, was imposed to make up for the reduction of the corporation tax rate. The votes of fourteen Republican senators would be necessary to reject the conference report and the Repub: lcan leaders say that the number will not be recorded against it. Seven or elght of the original “insurgents” will cast their ballots in opposition to the report, but it is not believed that their example will be followed by many other Republicans. MR. MONDELL CAUSES DELAY Insistse on Reading Report of Con- ferees on Tariff Bill. ‘Washington, Aug. 2.—At the very outset, when the house began consid- ration of the conference report on the tariff bill, Chairman Payne met with obstructions at the hands of a Republican 1insurgent, Mr. Mondell (Wyo.), who refused unanimous con- sent for the reading of the statement of the conferees ih lieu of the re- rort. Mr. Payne made no effort to get Mr. Mondsll to reconsider and the teading of the voluminous report of seventy- slx closely printed pages was begun. The reading had proceeded one hour and twenty minutes when Mr. Payne again asked unanimous consent that it be dispensed with. Although Mr. Mondell was in his seat he offered no further objections and, much to the relief of every one, the monot- onous tones of the reading eclerks ceased.

WISCONSIN INDIANS DESTITUTE BY FLOOD Commissioncr Valentine Takes Prompt Action for Rellef, Wasllinglon.‘ 7235 2L—Ruthlessly brushing aside governmental “red tape” in the interest of suffering hu. manity Commissioner of Indian Af fairs Valentine took quick and dect sive steps to relieve more than 1,200 Indians in Wisconsin who were left without shelter and food as the result of the recent series of cloudpursts in that state. Realizing that the situation demand- ed immediate action and without any specific appropriation for that pur pose, although confident that his ac- tion would be upheld, Mr. Valentine, acting upon the alarming reports from Superintendent Campbell of the La Pointe Indian agency in Wisconsin, telegraphed the latter to take every possible means to relieve the destitute Indians and check any possible spread of disease consequent upon the floods. . According to the report of Mr. Camphell the Bad River Indlan reser- vation suffered most from the cloud- bursts. The Indian village of Odanah also suffered heavily. When a dam gave way several miles above the town the water and debris poured down upon the Indian settlement, sweeping away several houses and overturning others, All household goods were elther destroyed or ren- dered unserviceable. Many Indian families lost all their possessions and have temporarily been deprived of means of earning & Nving. Falls Eight Stories to Death. Little Rock, Ark.~owa 51—J.

FLIES AGAINST STRONG WIND Count Zeppelin Makes Very Successful Trip. YELL LIKE MAD Lands at Exposition Grounds at Frank- fort After Sailing a Distance of Over Two Hundred Miles—Aver- ages Twenty-one Miles an Hour, In Spite of the Strong Resistance Offered. Frankfort, Aug. 2—The dirigible baloon Zeppelin II., steered by Count Zeppelin himself, descendod here safe- Iy after having salled from Friederich- shafen a distance of about 220 miles, at an average speed of twenty-one miles an hour. Half of the timo tho flight was made against strong head winds. Almost the whole population of the city was in the streets or on the ex: position grounds to receive Count Zeppelin. Loud chzers, band playing and factory whistling began when the alrship was sighted, at a height of 900 yards, coming at a forty mile rate. The balloon circled above the city, displaying the ease with which she answered her rudders, and then de- scended lightly into a wire enclosure guarded by two regiments of infantry, while 100,000 people or more outside the barriers yelled liko mad and two batteries of artillery saluted. The performance, while not so far as the trip from Friederichshafen to Bitterfeld and return, which the count made a couple of months ago, was the most successful flight yet made, as no accident happened and the craft over- came the strong wind which prevent- ed progress at one time for twenty- five minutes, although the propellers were going at a rate which otherwise would have driven the vessel forty miles an hour, CROWDS IMPRESSES ARMY OFFICERS Wright's Cross Country Flight In Aeroplane. Washington, Aug. 2. — Orville Wright’s great flight, In which he took Lieutenant Benjamin D. Foulois over the ten-mile course from Fort Myer to Alexandria and return at a speed of more that forty-two miles an hour, has made a deep impression on the army and navy officers contend that the accomplishment of the cross- country flight demonstrates the avail- ability of the aeroplane for use in war- fare. Although they were there for the purpose of timing the aeroplane as it crossed and recrossed the mark the officers stationed at Shuter’s hill, the southern end of the course, were taken by surprise when the aeroplane was discovered flying in their direc- tion. The manner in which the flying machine was lost to view from Fort Myer and then the rapidity with which it returned there after it was sighted above the crest of 2 hill was another hint of the possibilities of the practical use of the aeroplane by the army and navy. As a result of the trial flight the ‘Wright brothers will receive $30,000 for their aeroplane, $5.000 of which is the bonus for excess in speed over the contract requirements. .
