THE BEMIDJI DAILY PIONEER PUBLISHED EVERY AFTERNOON BY THE BEMIDJI PIONEER PUBLISHING CO. C. J. PRYOR. ©.E.CARSON. Entored In the Postaffice at Bomld)l, Minnescta, as second class matter. SUBSCRIPTION---$5.00 PER YEAR IN ADVANGE “PRINTING THE TRUTH.” A story is going the rounds of the press relative ta an Indiana editor who attempted to tell the absolute truth in his paper in reproducing the news of the day. It isrelated of him that he was subsequently invited to leave the town. Here is given a few of the items the Indiana scribe issaid to have published: “John Benin, the laziest merchant in town, made a trip to Bellyille. “John Doyle, our groceryman, is doing poor business. His store js dirty and dusty and noxiously odi- ferous. How can he expect to do much? “Rev. Styx preached last Sunday on Charity. The sermon was punk. “Dave Shunkey died at his home in this place. The doctor gave it out as heart failure. The fact is he was drunk and whiskey killed him. “Married, Miss Sylvia Rhodau and James Canhan, last Saturday at the Baptist parsonage. The bride isa very ordinary town girl who dosen’t know any more about cook- ing than a rabbit and never “helped her mother more than three days in her life. She is not a beauty by no means, and has a gait like a fat duck. The groom is a well known up-to-date loafer. He’s been living off the old folks all his life and dosen’t amount to shucks. They will have a hard life.”—Ex. CAUSTIC COMMENT. LA. G. Rutledge.] Our better half has gone for a visit to her parental home; and we fully agree with the editor of the Ketchikan Daily Miner, who says of his wife’s going: “Our wife is gone. Gone to visit our mother-in-law. Gone back to the old home and the real cream. Back to the old oaken bucket and the mud pies of memory. We are not saying this to make other men envious whose wives are not gone. But it is a sort of whistle to keep our courage up. For a long time the opportunity to hang out all night and make a monkey of our- selves has looked good. “Now, with no restraint on our conduct, no tearful wife waiting to throw her hooks into our hair, no one to lie to, nobody to pacify with artful inventions, no person to care a whoop whether you go bughouse or not, now that the very hour and moment is pregnant with witchery and our horoscope is psychologically correct for a riotous ‘period of debauchey, we get sleepy at 8:30 and mope off to bed like a a mollusk. “It’s enough to drive an ostenta- tious drunkard to the Keeley insti- tute. Bourbon has lost its charms and highballs are a mockery. We do not want to play poker or lick up suds or do any of the hundred dis- reputable things that a few days ago seemed so entrancing, If things had panned out as anticipated we would be an actor in the jollification drama instead of its playwright.” SLIPS OUT THE BACK WAY Premier Asquith Escapes Guard of Suffragettes. London, Aug. 19.—The militant suf- fragettes, who have been picketing the house of commons for the past six weeks with the object of securing an interview with Premier Asquith, have extended their operations to the pre- mier’s residence on Downing street. Mrs Despard and Mrs. Saunderson took up their stand outside Mr. As. quith’s house and declared that sen- tries would be maintained uninterrupt- edly until the premier granted an audi- ence. The premier, however, is in the happy position of being able to slip out through a garden in the rear of his house to which the public has not access, Chinaman Robbed of Big Sum. Eau Claire, Wis,, Aug. 19-—A thief cut a screen, entered Yep Chin’s laun- dry and took $432 in cash and- $700 In checks from Chin's clothes while he slept. The thief escaped. PASSING OF NOTED PEOPLE SAMUEL J. SELIGMAN, a member of the family of the well known bank- ers, dropped dead from heart failure at his summer home at Deal, N. J. Mr. Seligman, who was fifty-five years old, retired from active business several years ago. MRS. SHELBY M. CULLOM, wife of the senator from Illinois, is dead at ‘Washington. Mrs. Cullom had suf- fered from heart trouble for a long time. 8IR THEODORE MARTIN,. author and parliamentary agent, is dead in London. He was born in 1816. SUTTON DIED BY HIS OWN HAND Verdiét Rendered by Naval Court of Inquiry. MOTHER'S CHARGE FAILS Decision Declares Allegation of Willful Murder Against Brother Officers Is Purely Imaginary—President of the Court Comments Severely on Lack of Discipline Prevailing at the 8chool When Tragedy Occurred. Washington, Aug. 19.—“Lieytenant Sutton is directly and solely rkonsl- ble for his own death, which was self- inflicted, either intentionally or in an effort to shoot one of the persons re- straining him and his death was not caused by any other injury whatever.” This is the verdict of the navy court of inquiry which for some weeks has had under investigation the cause of the death at Annapolis naval acad- emy in October, 1907, of Second Lieu- BEEKMAN WINTHROP. tenant James N. Sutton of the United States marine corps, which verdict has been approved by the judge advo- cate general of the navy and by Beek- man Winthrop, assistant and acting secretary of the navy. The court also finds: Utley and Others Criticised. That Lieutenant Utley failed in his duty as senior officer present, under article 266, United States navy regula- tions, 1907, In permitting Lieutenant Sutton to run away and arm himself instead of calling on those present for assistance and following Lieutenant Sutton, preventing his arming himself, by force if nacessary, and turning him over to the custody of the officer of the day. That Lieutenant Bevan, officer of the guard, failed in his duty as an officer of the guard in not disarming Lieutenant Sutton by force while in front of his (Sutton’s) tent. That Lieutenant Willing, the officer of the day, failed in his duty as officer of the day in not immediately assist- ing by force in helping to disarm Lieu- tenant Sutton when he arrived on the scene before the fatal shot was fired. That the chatges of willful murder and conspiracy to conceal it made by the complainant, Mrs. Sutton, mother of Lieutenant Sutton, are purely imag- inary and unsupported by even a shadow of evidence, truth or reason. The court recommends, however, that, in view of the youth and decided inexperience of Lieutenants Utley, Willing and Bevan at the time and of the altogether unusual conditions of excitement, the threats and danger during the aforementioned fray, that no further proceedings be taken. Hood Files Minority Report. The report is signed by John Hood, commander, United States navy, pres- ident of the board, and Henry Leon- ard, major, United States marine corps, judge advocate. Commander Hood also filed a minority report, in which he says he concurs in the ma- jority report and, in addition, he is of the opinfon that Lieutenants Utley, Adams, Osterman, Willing and Bevan showed a deplorable lack of knowl- edge of their duties and obligations as officers holding commissions in the marine corps and the testimony con- cerning the whole deplorable affair in- dicates a state of discipline then ex- isting in the marine school of appli- cation discreditable to the service and argues strongly against the practice of commissioning and putting into po- sitions of responsibility young men without proper previous training. He is also of the opinion that Lieuten- ants Willing, Bevan and Utley should have been brought to trial at the time for neglect of duty and Lieutenants Adams and Osterman should have re- ceived milder punishments for engag- ing in a brawl unbecoming officers and gentlemen and he concurs in the rec- ommendation that no further proceed- ings be taken at this time only be- cause of their youth and inexperience at that time and because of their be- ing, in a senste, the victims of a sys- tem for which they themselves are not responsible. RECEIVER RETAINS CONTROL Widow's Appeal In Yerkes Estate Dismissed. New Yerk, Aug. 19.—Harrington Putnam is continued as recelver of the estate of the late Charles T. Yerkes in a decision filed by the United States circuit court of appeals here. The receiver was appointed in gn action instituted by the Under- ground Electrio Railway company of London, Eng., as a creditor, asking administration and distribution of the estate. _ Appeal from his appointment was takerm. by Louis S. Owsley, ex- ecutor of the Yerkes estate, and Mary Adelaide Yerkes, the widow of the financier. The decision disallows this appeal. The receiver was appointed on the allegation of the petitioning creditor that the executor had failed. properly to realize on the Yerkes assets, so that the. estate was depreciating in value. In his answer to the com- plaint Mr. Owsley, the executor, de- clared that he had made a continuous effort to realize on the assets, but that as many of them had no ready market value they could not be turned into cash without a great sacrifice. HENEY BEATEN AT PRIMARY ELECTION Falls fo Secure Nomination for District Attorney. San Francisco, Aug. 19.—As the re- sult of the primary election William Crocker, the candidate of red Tness men’s committee for ti i alty (Rep.), has received the nomina- tion over Byron Mausey, the inde pendent Republican candidate, and Dr. T. E. W. Leland, the present cor- oner, has received the Democratic er: dorsement over Supervisor Ralph Mec- Learn. Charles M. Fickert, candidawe of the regular Republicans for district attorney, will ropresent that party at the coming ¢lection, although a large number of Republicans wrote in the name Francis J. Heney in the blank provided for the purpose. Fickert also received a majority of votes on the Union Lahor "ticket, where his name was writlen in. Both factions of the Democratic party left the distriet at- torney nomination blank and incom- plete returns indicate that Fickert has a slight lead over Heney among the Democratic voters, who indicated their rreference by writing in the names. PLEA FCR ROOSEVELT POLICY Pinchot Provokes Enthusiasm at the Transmississippi Congress. Denver, Aug. 19.—Gifford Pinchot, with a plea for the conservation of natural resources based on the Roose- velt policies, provoked enthusiasm among the delegates to the Transmis- sissippi Commercial congress here. Tt was a reiteration of his stand, taken at Spokane, for the protection of the national forests. Mr. Pinchot, how- ever, was noi alone in his applause getting, for there was present John B. Leeds of Colorado, who, in present- ing a resolution to the congress, pro- fessed to see Japanese fleets and armies swarming down on the capital at Washington. Therefore Mr. Leeds suggested that the capital be removed to Denver. GRAIN AND PROVISION PRICES Minneapolis Wheat. Minneapolis, Aug. 18 —Wheat— Sent., $1.00% @1.01; Dec., 97%c; May, $1.01%.

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. Deafness is 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 | b closed, Deatness IS 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 inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces, We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Deafness (caused by catarrah) that cannot be cured by Hall’s” Catarrh Cure.
