Entored In the Postoffice at Bemid)l, Minnesota, as second m SUBSCRIPTION---$5.00-PER YEARCIN-ADVANGE THE BRETHREN SHOULD GET TOGETHER. Notice has been given that the members of North-Central Editorial association (formerly the Great Northern) will meet at Sauk Center on Friday, December 3, for the pur- pose of electing officers for the next year, and talking over matters of great import to the news fraternity in this section. There are several matters that should be freely discussed at this meeting, and one of them is the pas- senger and mail service accorded the towns lying along the Bemidji-Sauk Ceater line of the Great Northern railway. The organization of this editorial association was brought about at an ‘“indignation” meeting of the editors in those towns who were assembled to name a committee to visit the offices of the G. N. railway and demand better service. - The committee visited the general offices in St. Paul and were assured that if they would not “‘kick” the company would imgrove the service—but not to kick, in any event, as that would spoil it all. The editors didn’t “kick,” with the result that the same old service has been continued, with no night train or trzin on Sunday, and there pro- bably never will be any improvement unless the brethren of the press get busy with their pencils and roast out the officials. Towns south of Bemidji are en- titled to better passenger and mail service, and it can be secured if proper “hammering” is brought to bear. “ONE GALLUS CLUB” WILL SUCCEED “KITCHEN CABINET.” George F. Authier, in the Minne- apolis Tribune, says that Governor Eberhart’s official family has not in- herited the name of “Kitchen Cabinet” and may be known merely as an extension of the “One Gallus club” which used to meet in the office of Secretary of State Julius Schmahl. Now that Mr. Day has gone into the book making business, he and his friends seem likely to be- come known as the ‘“Literary Junta”—at least until the book is prepared. The editor of the Pioneer was a member of this famous ‘‘One Gallus Club,” which was was instituted by “Jim Larson,” assistant secretary of state. But one day we hied us into the secretary of state’s office with buttons on our pantaloons which had been sewed on by the tailor, and were compelled to pay a fine of $1 or be permanently suspended from the club, one of the regulations being that nothing but patent buttons or a horseshoe nail should be allowed to hold “galluses.” We liqudated. And that same “Gallus Club” has decided many momentous questions of state in times gone by. GOOD PAPER BENEFITS EVERYONE. 1 There is nothing that calls atten- tion and draws people to a city or town equal to a good newspaper. In order for a man to make a good | § newspaper he must have the patron- age of the people among whom he lives. If he has half-way support it stands to reason that he must make a poorer paper, and in doing this every man and woman in the city and surrounding country has to bear a portion of the loss. For this rea- son, if for no other, the man who tries to make a good newspaper should have the support of his town people, all of whom reap fully as much benefit from its efforts as he does. PELLAGRA IN REBEL PRISON Surgeon at Andersonville Thinks Fed- erals Died of Disease. New Orleana, Nov. 12.—That hun- dreds of deaths which occurred at the Confederate prison at Andersonville, Ga., during the summer of 1864 were not due to typhold fever, as then sup- posed, but were caused by -pellagra, was the opinion expressed before the Southern medical convention here hy J. W. Kerr of Corsicana, Tex. Dr. Kerr. who was surgeon at the Andersonville prison, described the symptoms of the disease which at- tacked the inmates so fatally at that time and in nearly every particular they were recognizcd as being charac- teristic of pellagra. Dr. Kerr sald that musty or spoiled corn constituted the main diet of the prisoners, be- cause of inability, to furnish them other supplics. ‘Will Monte of Akeley came to the city last evening 'and spent the night at the Hotel Markham, leaving this morning for his home.

Mr. ' Peterson will visit parties on the Blackduck river and other points out from Kelli- h:r before returning, in quest of cedar poles and posts, which the L. K.

JURY EXONERATES CHICAGO SLAYER Killed 'Man' Who Used Foul Language -fo Women, Chicago, Nov. 12.—In one of the most remarkable verdicts ever ren- dered in a criminal case a- jury in Judge Crowe’s hranch of the munle- ‘pal court found Valentine B. Caugh not - guiity: in-connection with ' the death of John A. Sjostadt, who died Oct. 21, following a blow struck by Caugh in defense of several girls. The jury comniended Caugh’s gal- lantry and in unusual terms declared that he had: asserted his: manhood by acting as he did. The verdict says: “From the evidence ‘offered the Jury are of the opinion that the de- ceased was intoxicated and that he used foul and ‘unseemly langnage to various young women and girls in the vicinity and finally directed his vile epithets and evil abuse against-the said Valentine B. Caugh, who was hav- ing his shoes shined at the time and ‘whose manhood being .assailed and the character of his maternal ancestor brought into question in a mauner vile in the extreme naturally resented the same by mixing up with the deceased. The jury are of the opinion that he was justified in resenting the insult offered.” Caugh, who is thirty-six vears old, wept in court when Judge Crowe dis- charged him following the reading: of; the verdict.

Fi)R DESECRATING THE FLAG Suit Brought Against Commander Robert E. Peary. Elmira, N. Y., Nov. 12.—Attorney Roswell R. Moss, historian of New- town Battle chapter, Sons of the Amer- fcan Revolution, of this ecity, an- nounces that he has instituted an ac- tion in the supreme court of New York state against Commander Rob- ert E. Peary for the alleged desecra- tion of the American flag. Mr. Moss contendsthat the “North pole” flag which was displayed on the Roosevelt in the recent Hudson-Fulton tercentennial celebration was a viola- tion of the New York state statute. Across ‘it were the words “North vole.” CABLE LINES Comminication With West Indies Cut -0ff, CAUSE AS YET UNKNOWN Circumstances Iridicate a Severe ‘Sup- marine Earthquake of Great' Extent, | but No Disturbance Has Been Reg- istered—Cuba and Hayti the Only Islands ‘That Are Not ‘Atfected by the Phenoniéna. New York, Nov. 12—It is apparent from the reports received by the cable companies with connections in ' the West Jndies that®all the submarine lines - throughout -the islands, from Kingston west to Trinidad on the east, have been rendered inoperative hy some agency which up to the pres- ent time it' has ‘been’ impossible to’ determine. The circumstances indicate *-an earthquake on the floor of the ocean, but to affect the cable lines through- | out the breadth of the Indies such a disturbance would have to be remark- able for its extent and ‘severity. No serious ‘earthquake has been reported from any ' selsmograph station, nor have the meager reports from the points on' the island of Jamaica where the cables touch indlcated an earth- quake on that isle. It is possible, however, that some’eleetrical disturb- ance similar to'the aurora borealis will “eventually account for the trou- ble. Jamalca has been visited by a se- vere storm. with accompanying floods, and this is all that can be learned of the situation on that island. The only islands with which tele graphic communication can be had are Cuba and Hayti and the shore sta-{ tion at Jamaica, Holland bay. It is equally impossible to reach the eastern islands of the Indies by way of Burope and Pernambuco, Brazil. COMPANY SUES LABOR UNION Owners of Homestake Mine Allege Ef- forts to Reduce Efficiency.

Last month the union voted not to work with nonunion men after Nov. 25 and tbe present suit is started to show the company’s stand. More than 90 per cent of the miners belong to the union. FIREMEN PRESENT DEMANDS Wage Increase for Twenty-fve Thou- sand Men Asked. Chicago. Nov. 12—The general man- agers of all Western railroads have heen presented with the new wage schedule of the Brotherhood of Loco- motive Firemen and Enginemen.
