THE BEMIDJ! DAILY PIONEER PUBLISHED EVERY AFTERNOON BY THE BEMIDJI PIONEER PUBLISHING CO. C. J. PRYOR. G.E.CARSON. Entered In the Postoffice at Bemidji, Minnesota, as second class maiter. SUBSCRIPTION---$5.00 PER YEAR IN ADVANGE “STOP MY PAPER” Palestine Herald: Every now and then some one gives this to the Herald, and then sets back calmly waiting to hear a mighty crash when his order reaches the office of publication. But it does not come. The paper is simply stopped, and business goes on just the same as if nothing had happened, for really nothing has happened. Papers have been started and stopped ever since the art of printing was first discovered, and in all well regulated offices a book is kept to register stops and starts. Newspaper selling is just like sell. ing goods. People who want it buy it, and those who do not want it leave it alone. Now and then a man falls out with the paper and orders it stopped but the paper never takes notice ot the reason for a stop. The Herald is worth the subscrip- tion price charged and the subscrip- tion price you pay does not buy the policy of the paper. If the policy does not suit you, that is your fault. Your policy may not suit the paper either. Let’s be sensible about the thing. Your subscription money pays for the paper as it is. It does not bribe it to be something else. CAUSTIC COMMENT. (A. G. Rutledge.] Galveston gave that Caribbean sea hurricane the granite hand. Mr. Gompers is against the tip- ping practice. We are all up against it. A Chicago girl has scaled Mount Blanc. Sky-scrapers are easy for Chicago folks. By the way, when will the Ald- rich presidential boom be launched ? We’re wailing, with a stuffed club. A fashion note says that women’s hats are to be eighteen inches high. Why not just stand the old ones on edge ? Funny, isn’t it, that there are no male snake charmers, nowadays? But, then, the first real snake charmer wasa woman—Eve. An American society woman won and survived a cigarette-smoking contest,prompted by the Grand Duke Michael. It would appear that the cigarette is not- as deadly as was thought. - But you never can tell what affect this kind of a thing will have on the opposite sex—they’re so peculiar, you know. CRISIS IN SPAIN NOW AT AN END Officially Announced Entire Gountry Is Tranquil Madrid, Aug. 5—The government has issued an official announcement saying the crisis in Spain is now at an end and that the country is tran- quil from the Bay of Biscay to the Mediterranean. The release of Senor Iglesias, editor of El Progresso, and a certain relaxation of the censorship are consldered the best evidences that the danger is past. Barcelona, Aug. 5—The life of Bar- celona continues to pursue its normal course. The only evidence of the terrjble nightmare through which the city passed last week are the ruins of the convents and churches and the torn up pavements, the stones of Wwhich were used for the erection of barricades. There is, however, con- siderable disquietude for the future. " The terrible repressive measures of the military authorities have left a deep undercurrent of resentment among the mases and fears are enter- tained that the rebellion may flare up again in a new form. The people are clamoring for the release of the prisoners in the dungeons of Fort Montjuich. Sabadell and Tarrassa have submitted to the troops. Special Rule Necessary. Washington, Aug. 5.—Objection from Mr. Macon (Ark.) forced the house to take a recess immediately after convening In order to enable the committee on rules to bring in a special order to permit the house to consider the conference report on the urgent deficiency bill. Catholic Priest Indlcted. New Orleans, Aug. 5.—Thirty-one iIndictments against Rev. John J. Holt- greve, pastor of the Catholle church at Plaquemine, La., were returned by the grand jury of Iberville parish. Twenty-eight of the counts charge grave crimes and the other three al- lege criminal libel. LABOR CONFLICT IS MORE AGUTE Rasks of Swedish Strikers Considerably Swelled. NO STREET CARS OR CABS Employes of Stockholm Conveyance Lines Go Out and Means of Trans- portation Are Unavailable—Govern- ment Takes Precautionary Steps to Prevent Disorders—Food 8upply Already Affected. Stockholm, Aug. 5—The labor con- fllct iIn Sweden has become more acute. While the ranks of the strik- ers are considerably swelled the gen- eral strike called has mnot yet be come entirely effective. Many organ- izations, although sympathizing with the strikers, hesitate to join them actively. The employes of the street car lines and the cab drivers have stopped work and neither cabs nor street cars are available. The fact that the troops are protecting the gas ‘worlks and the electric lighting plant has incensed the workmen, whose leaders threaten to call out all the men unless the soldlers are with- drawn. The printers’ union held a meeting, but resolved to postpone for the present any decision in the mat- ter of going on strike. A corps of workmen, some thousand strong, is being organized with the object of maintaining order and the people generally, bankers, merchants, etc., are arming themselves for self- protection. The gun shops of the city are practically denuded of re- volvers and small arms. All tour- ists have left Stockholm and the num- ber of visitors now in the city Is] smaller than at this season for many years past. Railroad Men Continue Work. Although the rallroad men have de- cided not to strike the government is taking the precaution to guard the tracks with troops, fearing attempts to blow up bridges or injure the per- menent way. Quantities of dynamite are reported to have mysterlously ais- appeared recently from the govern- ment stores. The leaders of the strikers clalm that the end of the week will see a notable spread of the movement; that the railroad, postal, telegraph and tele- phone employes and the printers will by that time have joined in the strike. The streets of Stockholm are filled with idlers, who promenade back and forth chaffing the volunteer strect cleaners, many of whom belong to the better classes. All the saloons are closed and only the best restaurants are permitted to remain open and even here it is possible to get wine only with a solid meal. All the ferries have stopped run- ning and there is little communica- tion between Stockholm and the sub- urbs reached by water routes. This fact will result in a further diminution of food supplies. For the present all is quiet in the clty, but trouble is expected when the stocks of food be- gin to run low. WORKING UNDER AGREEMENT Chicago Elevated Lines Not Involved in Threatened Strike. Chicago, Aug. 5.—If the threatened strike on the surface street car lines of Chicago takes place the public may still depend on the four elevated lines, The heads of the elevated lines de- clared that thelr employes are work- ing under a perfectly satisfactory agreement which has a year more to run. “The eflect of a strike on the sur- face lines,” said Mason B. Starring, president of the Northwestern Elevat- ed, “would be merely to increase the traffic on the elevated lnes. There is not the slightest chance of our men going out in sympathy with the sur- face men.” There are nearly 1,000 miles of sur- face lines in Chieago, however, and a tie-up, despite all that the elevated roads could do, would entail great inconvenience, partlcularly in many sections not reached by the overhead system. In addition the strike would cost the city raillions of dollars in loss of business. DURING FIT OF INSANITY Farmer Kills Two Persons and Ends His Own Life. Chickasha, Okla., Aug. 5.—During a fit of temiporary insanity S. V. McDonald, a farmer, shot and killed Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Thompson and committed suicide. McDonald at- tempted to shoot his own wife, but she escaped. Thompson was McDon- ald’s brothe law. Wisconsin 8trike Settled. Fond du Lac, Wis.,, Aug. 5.—The strike of 250 lime kiln workers af- fecting two lime kilns at Marblehead and one at Hamilton, near here, has been settled, the men returning tc work at the old scale, $1.60 per day. Officers of Knights of Columbus. Mobile, Ala., Aug. B5.—James A. “Flaherty of Philadelphia was elected supreme knight of the national body of Knights of Columbus. M. H. Car- mody of Grand Rapids, Mich, was elected deputy supreme knight. INTENDED TO END HER LIFE Mrs. Castle Says Shooting of Cralg Wae an Accldent. New York, Aug. B.—Mrs. Neville Castle declares that the bullet which she fired from her little 22-caliber re- volver and which slightly injured Wil Ham D. Craig In a corridor of the ‘Waldorf-Astoria was intended for her- self. Mrs. Castle's statement was made at police headquarters, where she was taken before arraignment after .a night in the Tombs prison Heavily veiled and apparently labor- Ing under a severe mental strain, Mrs, Castle was taken to headquarters for the usual inspection in the detective buheau. The indignity of being photo graphed and measured was spared her. To the officers of the bureau Mrs. Castle talked freely about*herself and the train of events which led up to the sensational climax. She went over her stage experience, which, she sald, began in San Francisco, where she appeared in the “Girl of the Gol den West.” Craig, who is a lawyer practicing in this city, she said she had known since he was a child. Denying the imputation that she had-forced her attentions on him she declared that on the other hand he had been fol- lowing her so persistently for the last five months that she was afraid he ‘would compromise her. ‘When arraigned Mrs. Castle’s attor- ney asked for a continuance until Fri- day. Magistrate Butts agreed, hold- ing Mrs. Castle in $3,000 bail. SHIPPED OUT OF " CITY IN TRUNKS Possible Disposal of Kid- napped St. Louis Children. St. Louis, Aug. 5.—Three additional arrests have been made in the kid- napping of Grace and Timmasso Vivi- ano, who were taken from their home here Monday and are being held for $25,000 ransom. With the arrest of the suspects- the police announced a be- Hef that the children were put in trunks and shipped out of the clty. Lamantia Giroloma and Domino Lutticco, cmployes of Pietro Fanare, a grocer, were the suspects taken to police headquarters. Giroloma admit- ted having taken three trunks in a grocery wagon to an express office. Vincenzo Ricardo, a friend of Sam Turrissi, with whom the children dls- appeared, and an unidentified man supposed to be Turrissl, rode to the express office with the trunks. The trunks werc put on-the wagon at the home of Joseph Pagano, also under arrest. ON GROUND OF ILL HEALTH Chlef-of Police Shippy of Chicago Resligns. Chicago, Aug. 5.—George M. Ship- py, chief of police of Chicago, has tendered his resignation in a letter received by Mayor Busse. The resig- nation is on the ground of 11 health. CHIEF GEORGE M. S8HIPPEY. Mr. Shippy is at Petoskey, Mich., from which place he writes that it will be many months before his health can be restored. An Appeal for Harvest Help. New York, Aug. 5.—Urgent appeals have been received here from Minne- sota and North Dakota for 10,000 men who are needed to help harvest the enormous crops. The Great Northern Railway company and other interests have informed all employment bu- reaus that harvesting has just be- gun and that men will be paid from $2 to $3.50 per day.

ALSO APPEALS TO POWERS Demands That Greek Officers Now In Crete Be Recalled and Intimates That This Friendly Request Will Be Followed, Unless Satisfaction Is Obtained, by More Energetic Ac- tion on Her Part. Constantinople, Aug. 5.—Greece has replied to the Turkish note which, al- though couched in friendly terms, practically demands the resall of the Greek officers serving In Crete, to the effect that the question is In the hands of the four proteoting powers of Crete, with whose knowledge and consent the officers in guestion were sent to the island. Turkey is appeal- ing to the four powers and she inti- mates that her frl(;ndly request to Greece will be followed, unless satis- faction is obtained, by a more ener- getic demand, X The report that Turkey has dis- patched transports with troops on board to Crete is denled, but it seems probable that the Turkish fleet now maneuvering in the nighborhood of Rhodes will proceed to Cretan waters. In this event the British admiral, Sir Douglas Gamble, in command of the fleet, would hand over his charge to a8 Tuwrkish admiral. .Sir Douglas, a British officer, has been engaged, with the permission of his government, in reorganizing the Ottoman navy. DECLARES THAW INCURABLE Last of the Allenists for State Testi- fies at Hearing. ‘White Plaius, N, Y., Aug. 8.—Dr. Carlos F, MacDonald, president of the New York state commigsion in lunacy, the last alienist called by the state in the Thaw hearing, declared Thaw was an incurable paranofac. District At- torney Jerome read passages regard- ing paranola from several medical au- thorities, these having a seeming ap- plication to Thaw, and the witness expressed his agreement. Dr. Mac- Donald concluded by declaring that Thaw now suffered from “paranoia of the degenerate type.” By “degen- erate,” he explained, was meant a per- son who has never attalned the nor- mal type. He pronounced Thaw in- curable. The witness said that the regularity of life at Matteawan might improve Thaw’s condition, although it could not affect ‘a cure. On the other hand, he sald, the continuance of such a life as the evidence indicated Thaw's to have been would tend to rouse into activity the delusions which have been partially veiled. KILLS TWO THEN ENDS LIFE Assallant Shoots Couple and Turns Gun on Himself. Chicago, Aug. 5—Two men and a ‘woman are dead here as a result of a double murder and suicide. Mrs. Kate Goritz and her husband, George Goritz, were shot and killed by Ste- phen Elser of Steelton, Pa., who then killed himself. It is said the trouble resulted from Mrs. Goritz asking Eiser’s wife to live in Chicago. Eiser arrived in Chicago and went at once to find Goritz. As he was leaving the house where they roomed he saw Goritz and his wife approach- ing. Drawing a revolver he fired first at Mrs. Gorif hen at her husband.

Chicago, Aug. b.—Announcemert was made at-the conclusion of a meet- ing of vehicle manufacturers that prices will be advanced 10 per cent. Increased cost of materials and la- bor is given as the reason.

HEAVY GAIN IN TWO MONTHS Traffic on Northwestern Railroads Picking Up. St. Paul, Avg. 5.—That traffic on the Northwestern raflroads is steadily picking up is demonstrated by the fact that' the amount of business han- dled at the Minnesota Transfer 18 50 per cent greater than it was the first of June. An average of 8,000 cars is handled at the transfer now as com- pared to 2,000 two months ago. The advances has been in all kinds of trafiic. There nas hardly beep any gain In the eastbound movement on the trans- continental lines. Comparatively lit- tle lumber is being shipped. With the prospect that the duty from Canada will be removed there is no active de- mand for forest products.

There is only one way to cure deafness, and constitutional remedies. Deafness s caused by an inflamed condition of the mucus lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have a rambling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, Deatness is the result, and unless the inflamation can be taken outand this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be dosmfied forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces, We will give One Hundred Dollars for any caso of Deafness (caused by catarral) that cannot be cured by Hall's' Catarrh Cure.
