Preus of Ada as his exe- cutive clerk, to succeed Harvey Grimmer, chief clerk to the late Governor Johnson, and who has been serving as chief clerk since the death of the late governor. It is announced that the new clerk will assume his duties as soon as he can close up his business affairs at Ada, Mr. Preus being an attorney at Ada. Mr. Preus was at one time con- nected with United States Senator Knute Nelson asone of his com- mittee secretaries; and last fall he was at the head of the speakers’ bureau for the republican state cen- tral committee. That the appoint- ment was made to please the senior senator there can be but little doubt. It will take a good ‘“mixer,” and someone capable of extending the “glad hand” with alacrity and warmth to take the place of Grim- mer, who was always obliging and exceedingly affable. DALZELL WILL REMAIN AT MORTON. Bemidji people who were in at- tendance at sessions of the legisla- ture last winter, when we wanted a normal school, really very bad, will be interested in the following item of news concerning Repre- sentative John Dalzell, who was active in the normal legislation: “Representative J. A. Dalzell has decided to stay in Morton for a while. He has come from there two terms to the legislature and at the close of the session last spring it was given out that he intended mov- ing to Hibbing. “Dalzell confirmed the report and rumor said that the plan was to elect him to the senate to succeed P. D. Vail of Duluth. But Dalzell has not moved yetand apparently does not intend to. Whether he wlll run for the legislature again in Ren- ville county is not known.” The Hon. John Dalzell is the gentleman who “moved the previous question” for representative Mc- Garry when the final vote was taken on the normal school bill last winter. There were rumors at that time that he was to be “taken °care of,” and the “range’’ proposition followed the adjournment of the legislature. CAUSTIC COMMENT. LA. G. Rutledge.] THE WAIST LINE. It is stated with some degree of authority that exact location of the feminine waist line for the spring season of 1910 has not yet been decided upon. It issuch things as this that cause us to sit down, bed our head in our hands and try not to give up hoping that some day woman will have the ballot. Man has his faults—and even when he has butfew he deceitfully blushes pridefully when you accuse him of having many. But he has never achieved a metamorphosis of his corporeality with each spring and fall. He has told his tailors: “Go as far as you like with my clothes, but leave ME alone.” In some respects, therefore, man is to be admired, and even ap- plauded. A man expects to be loved and respected because, forsooth, he is as the pharisee who rejoiced that he was different from the rest. But woman is unhappy unless she looks just like all the rest of the women. The waist line having shifted to everywhere else, let us hope that next year it may be allowed to go where it belongs. MAKES AN APPEAL FOR PITY Mme. Steinheil Cries Out -Against Court Prccedure. Paris, Nov..10.—“Have pity on me! I am an unhappy woman who should not be tortured,” cried out Mme. Stein- heil on the resumption of her trial here for the murder of her husband and stepmother. The appeal came during the testimony of the jeweler with reference to the changes of jew- elry confided to him by the prisoner, “but which she originally claimed had been stolen by the assassins. The prosecuting judge responded that ac- cused persons always repeated that cry when embarrassed for an answer. Mme. Steinheil admitted anew that she had had certain jewels, the gifts of her admirers, melted, but she main- tained that this was done to keep the facts of -her life from the knowledge of her daughter. : R e SR el SEVEN DEATHS DUE TO MISTAKE Clerk Sells Gasoline for Kerosene 0il. TWO OF FAMILY ESCAPE Minnesota Farmer, Wife and Five Children Perish in Fire Following Explosion—Passerby Rescues a Cou- ple of Little Ones and the Father, but the Latter Expires Twenty-four Hours Later. Badger, Minn., Nov. 10.—Nels Jen- sen, his wife and five children were burned to death three miles south of ‘Warroad. Jensen bought five gallons of kero- sene, as he supposed, from the War- road Mercantile company. A clerk had previously emptied a barrel of gascoline into the kerosene tank and Jensen got gasoline instead of coal oil. He used a little of the contents of the can to start the kitchen fire and an explosion followed, the noise of which was heard a mile away. Trevor Garry of Warroad, who was driving by the Jensen home, saved two children and took Jensen, badly burned, tc town, where he died twen- ty-four hours later. The mother and five children were cremated in the house, which burned to the ground. ARRIVES THREE DAYS LATE Cunard Liner Ultonia Encounters Very Bad Weather. New York, Nov. 10.—The 10,000-ton Cunard liner Ultonia, with her star- board engine wrecked and one of her propellers out of commission, arrived from Mediterranean ports after a trip some of the officers sald was the roughest passage known to them. When the 1,300 passengers walked down the gangplank they breathed sighs of relief. The Ultonia was three days over- due. She sailed from Almenia, Spain, Oct. 28, and soon afterward encoun- tered high seas, squalls and gales. The accident which delayed her took place while the vessel was in mid- ocean on Nov. 3. On that evening the starboard engine broke down. WILL APPEAL IN LABOR CASE Federation Executive Counci! Favors Continuing Fight. Toronto. Ont., Nov. 10.—The execu- tive council of the American Federa- tion of Labor, in a report to the con- vention, recommended that an appeal be taken to the United States su-j preme court from the . jail sentences fmposed on President Gompers, Vice President Mitchell and Secretary Morrison for centempt in the Buck Stove and Range company boycott case. The council recommends also that an appeal be taken in the original in- Junction case, the alleged violation of which resulted in the contempt pro- ceedings against the three labor lead- ers. REFUSED TO PROTECT BLACKS Mutinous West Virginia Troops Will Be Mustered Out. Charlestown, W. Va., Nov. 10.—By direction of Governor Glasscock or- ders have been issued by Adjutant General N. S. Burlow that Company A, Second infantry, West Virginia na- tional guard, located at Gassaway, be musterad out of service on account of the failure of a majority of the mem- bers of the company to report as or- dered last Thursday to protect the Hves of two negroes suspected of im- plication ir an assault upon Mrs. Al- fred Lockhold. VALUABLE LUMBER BURNED Fire in Michigan Causes Heavy Loss to Property. Manistiqne, Mich., Nov. 10.—About 3,000,000 feet of pine and hemlock lumber owned by the Hudson Lum- ber company at Garnet, some forty miles east of here, burned. The fira department was called from here and put out the fire, saving the mill and some 75,000 feet of lumber. The barned lumber was valued at about $50,000 and- was insured. The fire is thought to have been of incendiary origin. Lightning Kills lowa Hunter. Fort Dodge, Ia, Nov. 10.—Henry Strine, thirty vears old, was killed by lightning while hunting near this city. A bolt entered Strine’s temple, burp- ing a large hole and fusing his finger prints on the barrel of the gun. His brother, who was standing near him, was rendered senseless. Lowers Mile Auto Record. Atlanta, Ga., Nov. 10.—Lewis Strang, in a Fiat registering 200 horsepower, made a mile straightaway over the new automobile speedway in the re- markable fast time of 87.7 seconds, lowering the record of 48 seconds made recently by Barney Oldfield -at Indianapoclis. DECLARES COOK IS A FAKER Admiral Choster Says Explorer Did Not Reach Pole. Washington, Nov. 9.—Sclentists are discussing an informal speech -made by Rear Admiral Colby.M. Chester, .U, 8. N, retired, at the University elub, in which he characterized Dr. Fred- erick A. Cook as a faker and declared that Dr. Cook not only did' not reach the North pole, but did not get nearer than 564 :miles frowm the pele. The importance of Admiral Ches- ter’s accusitlon lies, not cnly in fhe fact that he is an eminent astronom- ical authority and was formerly super- jntendent of the United States naval observatory, but in that he was one of the sp:cial sub-committee of three appointed by the National (ieographic soclety to examine the records of Conimander Peary and report on his claim to polar discovery. “It is trie I referred to Dr. Cook as a faker,” Adndral Chester said. “I used as the basis of: my research the data used by Dr. Cook in his storles-of his polar expedition. I base my argument on the disagreement be- tween Dr. Cook’s observations and the known declinntion of the sun on the dates referred to in his narrative.” TROOPS HURRYING : T0 THE RESCUE Foreignsrs at - Ardebil, Persia, Are Stifl Holding Out. Teheran, Persla, Nov. 9.—News from Ardebil is that the foreign resi- dents hesieged in the Russian con- sulate by the revolting tribesmen are holding out bravely, hoping to:make a successful resistance untll the ar- rival of reinforcements. Seven thousand Persfan troops are now on their way to Ardebil, travel- ing by forced marches to relieve the consulate. The news that a Russian force has heen dispatched to the relief of the foreigners in Ardebil is recelved here with the utmost suspicion. The gov- ernment has evidenced distrust of Russfa for so active an interest for the ovorthrow of the deposed shah and it is now believed tbhat the upris- ing would sive them an excuse for armed Invasion. Locomotive Boiler Blows Up. ornell, N. Y., Nov. 9.—By ths blowing up of an Erie railroad engine at a point one mile west cf Belmont Engineer Chauncey Green and Fire- man Christopher Ryder, both of this city, were instantly killed and Prake- man Tracy so badly scalded that he may die.

T0 STOP STOCK WATERING ‘President Will Recommend the Estab- lishment of a Tribunal to Regulate the lIssue of Railroad Securities. Would Amend Anti.Trust Law to Confine its ‘Scope to Combinations to Suppress Competition, Augusta, Ga., Nov. - .—The keynote of President Taft's message to the coming session of congiess will be this statement: “This administration was elected on a platform that we proposed to carry ouvt the policies of Theodore Roose- velt and we propose to keep that promise.” b The president reserves to himself the right to decide what these policics are. He has said in public addresses tnat he, more thau any other man, perhaps, has been in a position to inow just what Roosevelt did or did not believe, Mr. Taft will recommend a court of five menmbers in order that when the interstate commerce commission shall decide a rate is unreasonable a rea- sonable rate may be made at once, with no appeal on the part of the railroads except to the supreme court. This is to make the Hepburn rate bill ‘effective. i There will be also a recommenda- tlon of a tribunal that will pass on how many bonds and how many shares of stock every interstate rail- road may issue to prevent the water- ing of stozk. To Reorganize Departments. To further expedite the work of making railroads obey the law the president will recommend a reorgani- zation of the bureaun of corporations, the interstale commerce commission and the departwent of justice that they may work progressively and not stumble over one another as they are under the present system. The president will recomend that the anti-trust lJaw be amended to nar- row and confine it to combinations and conspiracies to suppress competi- tion and establish monopolies and to leave ont th> denunciations of general restraints of trade. He will not ree- ommend that labor unions be spe- cifically exempted from the operation of the law, but the effect of the amend- ment, he admits, will be to put labor outside the law. decided by the su- preme covrt that boycotts are a viola- tion of the Skerman act. Postal savings banks will be urged. President ‘Taft will recomend con- tinuance and extension of the con- servation of natural resources and reclumation of arid lands. He will say that these subjects include also retention of control over the water power sites by the government so that it may regulate rates charged for the power furnished and retention of con- trol of coal, cil and phosphate lands that the government mey prevent the use of thuse lands by menopolies. Extension of Harbor Work. On the subject of waterways the message will recommend continuance and extamsion of harbor work, such as the San Padro harbor on the Cali- fornia const, but his recommendations for work on th2 inland waterways will be most conservative. The president saw a Iot on. his trip down the Missis. sippi river, but his conclusions did not encourage the inland waterways boom- ers, who went to great expense to show the river to him. Regarding the Mississippl the presi- dent will go no farther in his mes- sage than to reccmmend a continu- ance of the protection of the banks at the ‘bends, where the current is cen- stantly cutting. Outside of that it will be the position of Mr. Taft that no improvement shall be undertaken until engineers have approved its fea- sibility and have estimated its cost. The president will not make any recommendations for monetary legis- laticn, leaving that to the next con- gress. Comniission government for Alaska will be recommended. NEARING END OF JOURNEY President Will Reach Washington on Wednesday Evening. Augusta, Ga, Nov. ..—President ‘Faft hrought his stay In Augusta tc.a close aftey officiating at the opening oif the Georgia-Carolina fair.

Vihile Wednesday night officially marks the end of the Westetn and Southern trip it will not, by any means, be the end of the president's travels prior to the opening of the congressional session in December. Mr. Taft will be in Washington less than twenty-four hours, being sched- uled to leave the capital at 5.35 p. m. on Thursday for lMiiddletown. Conn., where he will see the installation of President Shanklin of Wesleyan uni- versity. The president will go to Nor- folk ‘the 19th and to Hampton, Va. the 20th, returning to Washicgton the morning of Nov. 2I. Was Worth About $45,000,000. Portland, Ore., Nov. 9.—Mrs. W. S.

NUMBER KILLED NOT KNOWN “Joy Riders” Plunge Into the River at Chicago. Chicago, Nov. .—A score of policc- men on firchoats are patrolling the river searching for the bodies of an unknown number of persoms, prob- ably four, and possibly six, who are believed to have drowned when an auton:obile plunged Into the river here while a draw was open. The automo- bile was partially identified as that of J. W. Schefley, a garage owner. it wag hired at a saloon on Van Buren street. This was in part confirmed when Schefley reported that the chauffeur of this car, Ernest Kemp, was missing. The accidznt oscurred so suddenly and the auto and it¢ eccupants van- ifshed in the river so swiftly that it was impossible to tell the exact num- ber of persons who went down with it. MEN ARE3 AS HELPLESS AS GHILDREN When Taken Suddenly lll—Here <is a Common-Sense Safeguard, Big, strong manis asa helpless infant when he is suddenly ill. The sturdiest chap in town usually loses his self-control, and is utterly unable to regard his condition with the common sense that characterizes his everyday actions. For example: He comes home tired, eatsa heavy dinner, and sits down to read and smoke away a quiet evening. Suddenly he notices a weight on his stomach; then sharp pains around his heart, and a feeling of suffocation. Thoughts of “heart dis- ease” rush over him, and in hisagony he fears the worst. Hig trouble was acute indigestion brought on by overloading his tired stomach. A couple of Dyspepsia Tablets would have given him instant relief —would have saved him hours of suffering. Carry a package ot Rexall Dys- pepsia Tablets in yonr vest pocket, or keep them in your room. Take one after each heavy meal and indi- gestion will not bother you. Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets remedy stomach troubles by supplying the one element, the absence of which in the gastric juices causes indiges- tion and dyspepsia. They aid the stomach to digestfood and to quickly convert it into rich red blood and material necessary for overcoming natural body waste.
