SUBSGRIPTION---$5.00 PER YEAR IN ADVANGE NEAT COMPLIMENT FOR BEMIDJI. That Bemidji_has a fine postal service is admitted on all sides; in fact, since the 'establishing of the night service at the postoffice, there is no better service in the state. In this connection, the Laporte News says: ““The postal authorities have in- stalled a night service at the Be- midji postoffice, and hereafter the office will be open night and day. This speaks well for our rustling city to the north and this action on the part of the federal authorities will have a tendency to make some of those fellows who try to make you think that northern Minnesota is composed principally of cut over lands and tamarack swamps, to sit up and take notice.” DON'T KICK ON STATE FAIR. Don’t kick on the state fair. Rather thank heaven that itis the huge success of international repute, than the dismal failures in some of our neighboring states. Of course the twin cities are benefitted inci- dentally but an exposition of such magnitude would be impossible except for the facilities afforded by the proximity of large cities.—Mil- aca County Times.

New York, Aug, 10.—Speculators {n stocks expressed their disappeintment over the government crop report by selling their holdings quite freely after Its appearance.

HAKES SERIOUS CHARGES Mother Declares Her Son Appeared to Mer and Described the Manner of His Death, Which, He Declared, Was Due to a Shot Fired by Lieu- tenant Adams—Brother Officers Re- ferred to as “Brutes and Cads.” Annapolis, Md., Aug. 10.—At the re- convening of the court of inquiry into tho death of Lieutenant James N. Button of the United States marine corps, who was declared a suiclde by an earller board of inquiry, the judge advocate, Major Henry Leonard, moved that the letters, read at the closed session of the ccurt on Satur- day, when Mrs. Sutton, the mother of the dead lieutenant, was on the MAJOR HENRY LEONARD. stand, be made public. This mo- tion was criticised by Henry E. Davis, counsel for Mrs. Sutton, and supported by A. E. Birney, counsel for Lieutenant Adams. The court ruled that the motlon of the judge advocate be acceded to and the record of Sat- urdey's sesslon was read. Letters Make Serious Charges. Tho reading showed that Mrs. Sut- ton identified a number of letters as having been written by her. The first of these was to Harry M. Swartz, paymaster’s office, U 8. M. C., Wash- ington, D. C. and asked whether he wgs a friend of her son, to whom she could write to with confidence as to his sympathy. A second letter to Mr. Swartz gave a version of what oc- ourred on the night of Lieutenant Sut- ton's death and also detailed numer- ous wounds on the face and head, which, Mrs. Sutton alleged, were in- flicted upon her son. Those who were with Lieutenant Sutton when he was shot were referred to frequently by her as “wild beasts.” In this letter the name of Miss May E. Stewart of Pittsburg Was mentioned. Mrs. Sut- ton asked Swartz to find out from Os- terman and the others who were in the automobile with Sutton on the fatal night what had actually hap- pened preceding the shooting. A third letter to Swartz gave further details of what Mrs. Sutton said she had dis- covered. Those who were with her son when he died were spoken of in this letter as “low brutes.” She re- ferred to a letter from her son in which he described his fellow officers as “low cads” and mentioned in words of bitter criticism Lieutenants Adams, Osterman and others. This letter described how the news of her son’s death was received by her at her home and said that she felt at that time that her son was with her and that he described to her the manner of his death, which, he eclared, was due to a shot fired by leutenant Adams. Mrs. Sutton wept quietly while the letters were being read. After the reading of the letters the reading of the record of Saturday showed Mrs. Sutton to have been asked many questions as to evidence in her possession to support her con- tentions. She referred to letters re- ceived by her from Miss Stewart, Pro- fessor Coleman’ and others and to the record from the first investigation as sufficlent evidence.

WATSON FAVORS REGONSTRUCTION Would Cut Country: Into Four Grand Divisions. DENOUNCES - TARIFF BILL Former Candidate for President on the Populist: Ticket Says the Laws Be- “Ing Forced Through Congress by a Few New England Senators Will Cause a Split in_the Union on the Lines He Suggests. Atlanta, Ga., Aug. 10.—In denounc- i0g the Aldrich-Payne tariff bill and in answer to the Memorial day speech of Secretary of War Dickinson Tom Watson, former candidate for presi- dent on the Populist ticket, suggests the reconstruction of the .Union into fohr grand divisions, declaring the hemisphere will be all the happler for jt. His reply was called forth by the statement of Mr Dickinson at Gettys- burg that “there are in the South few, it any, who would not turn swiftly with sentiments of abhorrence from any suggestion that it would be better for the South if it had succeeded in establishing an independent govern- ment."” After denouncing this assertion and charging that Mr. Dickinson did not believe what he said and the North- ern people knew he did not speak the truth Mr. Watson said: Confident Division Will Come. “I am sincere in saying it would have been better for the South had the Confederacy succeeded. We would have had no constant irritant such as we now have in the social equality of blacks, in officeholding ne- groes and the white people of the North, who are eternally putting the devil into the heads of Afro-Ameri- cans. “The Western states would be bet- ter off In a separate state of their own. It will come some day. “The Southern states would be far better off in a state of their own. It will come some day. With just such laws as Aldrich and Lodge and Gal- linger and Hale, all of New England, are forcing through congress the Un- fon will be split into four grand divi- slons and this hemisphere will be all the happler for it.” FACTIONAL WAR IN G. 0.

DESIRES TO SECURE AN OGEAN SEAPORT Bolivia VSald f0--Bo--Seeking War With Perw Washington, Aug. 10.—Is Bolivia secking a pretense to bring on a war with Peru? This question is being asked, seri- ously too, by South American diplo- mats, who are watching every devel- opment in the situation.in which Ar gentina, Bolivia and Peru are gireqt): interested and Ohile and Brazil fllfli rectly. Some of the diplomats profess to think that the excitement in Boltvia over the Argentina award, which was favorable to Peru, is really a blind on the “part of the politiclans there to bring about an armed conflict with Peru, nominally to secure a more sat- isfactory adjustment of the bowpdary of the disputed tract, but ally aimed at territorial conquest. Bolivia has no sea coast. A suc- cessful war with Peru might give her; an outlet to the sea by demanding as an indemnity Moquegun province, the southernmost in Peru and adjoining the Chilean frontier. In that prov- ince {s the harbor of Ilo, at the mouth of the river of that name. The har- bor is said to be an excellent one and its acquisition by Bolivia would be of great advantage to her. lowa Girl Ends Her Life.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured by local applications, as they caunot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deatness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucus lining of the Eustachian Tubo. When this tube is inflamed you have a rambling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, Deafness s the result, and unless the inflamation can be taken out and this tube restored to 1ts normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever: nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but an inflanied condition of the mucous surfaces, We will give One Hundred Dollars for any caso of Deafness (caused by catarrab) that gantot bo cured by Hall's' Catarrh Oure. end for circulars free.
