Entered In the Postoffice at Bemid)l, Minnesota, as second class mattsr. SUBSCRIPTION---$5.00 PER YEAR IN ADVANGE BEMIDJI NEEDS NO “CHAPERON.” Bemidji seems to have weathered the storm and secured enough funds to buy the right-of-way for the Soo road through their city, and all is well along the line. Cass Lake has done the same thing but has not seen any necessity of publishing the names of contributors.—Cass Lake Times. Bemidji has “weathered” many storms and is setting a pace for her neighbor that appears to create con- siderable concern on the part of the aged pair of the Times as to what we should and what we should not do. Kindly attend to your own doorstep, neizhbor; we’ll run our affairs very well without any of your sage (?) advice or knocking. AS TO POLITICAL PROGNOSTICATORS. Some would-be-wise politicians think they merely needed to look up and view the heavenly bodies to be able to cast a correct political horo- scope.—Bemidji Sentinel. The above probably has particular reference to the article which re- cently appeared in the Sentinel where “underground political rumbl- ings indicated” that Congressman Steenerson was a candidate for the republican nomination for governor; and which article and “rumblings” were emphatically denied by Con- gressman Steenerson in a letter whi¢h was published in the Pioneer last Saturday. Says the News and Comment man in the Duluth News-Tribune: “Wm. E. Lee of Long Prairie has his ear to the ground waiting for a call to head the republican hosts next year. Bob Dunn with his eagle eye is watching the administration of Governor Eberhart, Joel Heat- wole is talking about ‘principles” and the average Republican is keeping his eye upon the governor.” Can we determine the religious inclinations of an editor from read- ing his newspaper? asks an exchange. No, this cannot be done, speaking broadly. No other body -of intel- ligent workers so fully represents kindness and toleration in religion| as do editors. Be you a Catcholic the Protestant editor places his fairest wreath on your tomb when you die. He writes with overflowing heart at your departure. If you jest at Christainity the cultured editor will not print your assaults, for our editors, whatgver may be their per- sonal disposition, look upon belief in a future world as sacred and above humor and quip. In religion as in politics we turn to our editors for inspiration and guidance, as a sailorof the seas is governed by the lighthouse. STANDARD OIL IN CONTROL John D. Rockefeller, Jr., Director of Big Colorado Concern. New York, Oct. 2:;—The election of John D. Rockefeller, Jr., to the directorate of the Colorado Fuel and Iron company indicates the formal passing of that corporation from the control of the Gould interests into the dominior of the Standard Oil. For a long time it has been known that Standard Oil capital was behind the concern and that Mr. Rockefeller, Sr., had acquired a large interest in the company. The present directorate of twelve, five of whom are admittedly Standard Oil men, insures that the destinies of the corporation will hence forth be directed from 26 Broadway. Young«Mr. Rockefeller stepped into the vacancy in the board created by the death of E. H. Harriman and it is believed that the Harriman interests in the property were purchased by John D. Rockefeller, the elder, to make this possible. MANAGE TO ELUDE POSSE Minocqua (Wis.) Bank Robbers Are Still at Large. Minocqua, Wis., Oct. 23.—The five desperadoes who robbed the State bank of Minocqua of $10,000 have eluded the attempts of the sheriff’s posse to capture them. A man with a rifie and answering the description of the leader of the robbers waiked into the telegraph station at Tomahawk Junction, about twenty miles south of here, and asked the agent there for a time table. The agent saw him join four other armed men on the verge of nearby woods. Lid Off Liquor Shipments. Guthrie, Okla, Oct. 23.—Federal Judge Cotteral, on petition of a St. MANY VILLAGES ARE IN RUINS Wholeshle Destruction in In- dian Earthquake. L10SS OF LIFE ENORMOUS Reports Say That Entire Towns Were Swallowed Up in the Huge Crev- asses or Totally Wrecked by the Force of the Disturbance—Appear ance of the Section Affected Com. pletely Changed. Quetta, Northern India, Oct. 23— Terrified tribesmen struggling —ex- hausted into Quetta report the whole- sale destruction of villages throughout Northeastern Baluchistan and West: ern Punjaub by earthquake. Hun: dreds are dead in the villages of Miti, Mankanbela, Tanio, Kanda and Ku- rani. Hundreds of small villages throughout fhe stricken country are scattered about in the almost inac cessible mountains.- The full death roll will never be known. According to the refugges arriving here the entire face of the country- side between here and- Khelat, the capital of Baluchistan, has been al- tered. The quake tossed up. huge lines of low hills, throwing whele vil- lages into ruins. Fugitives from Ku- rani say that a huge creyass:opened up in the earth with terrible Tum- blings and entirely swallowed the center of the village. i No news can be secured from Khe- tal or from Bagat, another Baluchis- tan city of 10,000. Rumors among the Nomad tribesmen are that both of these cities were wiped out by the quake. Owing to-the lack of raflroad and telegraph facilities it is impos- sible to gather more.definite news, but it is assured (that the town of Bellpat, a railway town in Baluchis- tan. was wrecked, the public build- ings and wmany private homes demol- ished and twenty-five known dead taken from the ruins. ° RESCUED BY PASSING VESSEL Fifty Persons Near Starvation on Stranded Ship. Boston, Oct. ?24.—Death from thirst and starvation or by a more horrible method was near fifty men and wo- men huddled in a little vessel when the British steamship Welsh Prince brought. them succor. News of the rescue came to Boston with the arrival of the Welsh Prince from China. Chief Officer St. ‘John declares the sufferers were nearly driven to cannibalism when the Welsh Prince, forced miles from its course by gales, chanced to fall in with the craft in the Gulf of Aden. For weeks the little vessel had been buffeted by gales on a passage from! Africa to Arabia. Headway toward their destination was impossible. Calms closely followed the gales till the vessel was unable to approach the land. For ten days they had been without water, many of the large party aboard having succumbed to ex- haustion. The others were desperate to a point of cannibalism, but none was strongs enough to overpower a fellow sufferer. ASK GENERAL WAGE INCREASE Railroad Men Also Demand a' Ten- Hour Day. Boston, Oct. 2i—A request for a general wage increase and betterment of conditions, including a ten-hour maximum day for conductors and trainmen of every railroad /system east of the Mississippi river and north of the Chesapeake and Ohio lines, including Eastern Canada, will be made before the end of the year if the various local unions.ratify the action of the convention of the East- ern Association of General Chairmen of the join' boards of arbitration and adjustment f the railroad conductors, and trainmen’s organizations, which has just’ closed its sessions in thie city. DOES DAMAGE OF $250,000 Cyclone’s Path Marked by Scene of Desolation. Cambridge Springs, Pa., Oct. 25— Gangs of workers are busy on the streets clearing away the debris left. by the cyclone that swept the town. completely destroying four store build* ings and twenty residences, besides damaging many others, uprooting giant trees, whirling wreckage through the streets and injuring four persons. The property damage amounts to $350,000. Among the buildings totally de- stroyed was the town water plant. DE LARA TO BE RELEASED Mexican Arrested as Anarchist Will Not Be Deported. Washington, Oct. 2:.—The depart- ment of commerce and labor has telegraphed to Los Angeles, Cal., au- thority for the release of Guiterrez de Lara. He was arrested as an an- archist and an alien who entered this country without inspection. The de- partment’s authority for release is on condition of De Lara furnishing $3,00 bonds. 2 BY DEATH OF M. N. JOHNSON Political Situation in North Dakota Badly Mixed. Fargo, N. D., Oct. 2 .—United States Senator M. N. Johason of North Da- kota died at a hotel in this city of Louis liquor supply house, granted a temporary order restraining S. W. Stone, state dispensary superintend- ent, from seizing or interfering with Interstate shipruents of lquor into Oklahoma. The case is set for hear- ing at Guthrie Oct. 26. acute Brights disease. He had Dbeen here a short time for medical treatment and the disease developed rapidly following a slight nasal operation. He was to have left here in a day or twc to join the Taft iparty in_the South and with it finish fhe trip t6-Washington from New Or- leans. Johnson’s death leaves the political situation in North Dakota badly mixed up. As McCumber comes up for re-election before the next pri- maries -and the legislature this will necessitate the election of two sen- ators. J : Congressman Gronna, from the same county as Johnson, will now er ter the senatorial rdce for the short term. = Ex-Congressman Marshall is already in the race against McCumber for the long term. Former -Senator Hansbrough, now in Washington, will also undoubtedly return to the’ state and engage in the senatorial contest. As Governor Burke is.a Democrat he will in the meantime select some man of his party to fill the vacancy until the next legislative session and North Dakota, for the first time since Roach’s term, will have a Democrat in the senate. NO GENUINE REFORM EXPECTED OF MORET. New Spanish Premier Known as'a Reactionary. Madrid, via Hendaye, France, Oct. ~—Senor Moret and his new Liberal cabinet have begun the consideration | of modifying the government policy in Barcelona aud Gercna that under the Maura administration had become almost unbearable. Just how far Moret will go with his reformn canunot be definitely stated, but it is understood that the govern- meut’s repressive policy will be light- ened only as much as is absolutely necessary to pacify the country. There is no doubt that Maret’s ap- pointment is the result of political thimble rigging and that the life cf tre Libera! cabinct will be short. Moret, while nominally a Liberal, is in realily the most reactionary of the leaders of that party. No radical re- | form is to be expected from him and the general opinion is that he will endeavor to conciliate - the factions whose dissensions thrcaten the life of Spain. That he will succeed no one belie ‘ Moret, as - an administrator, has proved himself utterly incompetent To his mismanagement while colonial secretary Spain can trace her loss of Cuba and the Philippines and the dis- astrous events cf the American war, All Spain is celebrating the fall of ithe Maura government and tne belief is that King Alfonso will insist on: reform that will bz effective and last- ing.

D, Oct. 2.—While deliv- ering meat for his father in the gloom i of early evening Kenneth McKenzie, aged twelve, son of a local butcher, was attacked by twe men in Aneta park, borne to the ground and the of! frem the lantern he was carrying poured on his clothes and thien set on fire. Passershy heard the skrieks of the youth and quenched the flames, but he is believed to have been fatally burned. He s now in a hospital In Fargo. The deed is thought to have been perpetrated by opposers of the reform association that is headcd by the boy’s father, AVOID HARSH DRUGS Many Cathartics Tend to Cause In- jury to lhe Bowels. If you are subject to constipation you should avoid strong drugs and cathartics. They only give tempor- ary relief and their reaction is harm- ful and sometimes more - annoying than constipation.

FEELS HOPEFUL FOR HOME RULE T. P. 0°Connor, M. P, Thinks Outlook Favorable. MUCH DEPENDS ON BUDGET 3 If House of Lords Rejects Pending Measure a General Election Will Follow and the Irish Party Is Likely to Hold the Balance of Power—Cur- tailment of Power of the Peers May Also Come to the Front. New York, Oct. 2 .—Budding hopes or home rule for Ireland are held out by T. P. O’Connor, member of parliament for Liverpool and one of John Redmond’s chief lieutenants, Wwho arrived here on the Lusitaniato spend a ‘short time in this country raising funds to aid the Irish parlia- mentary party. As the situation now stands everything hinges on the action to be taken by the house of lords on the budget, said Mr. O’Connor. “If the budget is thrown out by the house of'lords,” sald Mr. O’Connor, “it means a general election that will Decessitate large expenditures by our party. The election will help Ireland, because it is bound to be followed by a fair balancing of the parties that will make the Irish vote an impor- tant factor in parliament. “Just what the house of lords will do with the budget is problematical. Personally I have always been under the impression that the lords would pass the budget, but you hear some- thing different every minute. “There are many features of the budget, such as the increase of death duties and land taxés, that have caused contention in the house of lords. If the budget is defeated it means a general election and then the question will be decided whether the powers of veto of ‘the house of lords ehall be curtailed. “We may gain one or two members in parliament, where our vote is now eighty-one, and this, with a fair bal- ancing of the Liberals and Conserva- tives, will make us a factor. “I regard the outlcok for home rule a8 very favorable.” SENT T(-) CAPTURE PIRATES Revenue Cutter Proceeding to the Ba- hama Islands. Galveston, Tex., Oct., 2 .—Orders have been received from Washington for the revenue cutter Windom, sta- tioned here, to proceed at once to the vicinity of the Bahama islands and search for and capture the alleged piratical schooner reported by the British steamship Rowanmore.

Since then the steamship Centurion reported a suspicious looking craft acting strangely in the same vicinity. “now believed to be dying.
