Pryor retires from the active management of the Bemidji Pioneer Publishing Company, having resigned the position which he has held since December, 1905. Mr. Pryor is sueceeded by E. H. Denu, who has been connected with the Wisconsin State Journal, at Madison, for the past six years. SOME POLITICAL POINTERS. Ripley Brower of St. Cloud, who has received some very flattering notices anent his accredited ‘ambi- tion as a candidate for the republi- can nomination for governor, has been asked direct if he was a candi- date; and the “Granite City”’ gentle- man is said to have replied as fol- lows: “I am not a candidate for the Republican nomination for gov- ernor,” he said, ‘and I am a long ways from it. But, I do not say that I might not become a candi- date. It all depends on what the members of the party think of it. If I should receive sufficient assur- ance of support through the news. papers of the state or privately, I might get into the race, but that is all I care to say. “I am looking the situation over, that is true, but I have not made ‘up my mind. I am extremely friendly to all the possible candidates who bave been mentioned. In any case, if I should go into the fight, it would be with the intention of supporting the party nominee. I will be a candidate, if a candidate at all, for the governorship, and nothing' else. I am nort seeking the senatorskip.” L State Auditor S. G. Iverson will be a candidate for renomination on the Republican ricket, says the Minnea- polis Tribune. Mr. Iverson’s posi- tion bhas been in doubt for some time, but the matter can now be set at rest. The state auditor says he has made no formal announcement, “‘but in all probability” he said, “I will be a canaidate for renomination. My friends are urging me to do so, and there is little doubt but this will be my future course.” Mr. Iverson’s announcement will have one of two results. Either an open fight will be made against him for the nomination, or the men who have been discussed will quietly withdraw. A. W. Thompson of Preston and Hugh Scott, county auditor of Minneapolis, have been receptive candidates, and during the past few days, there has been talk of Odin Haldin, county auditor of St. Louis county. Mr. Iverson has served two terms and has made a good record. * o % There is an ominous silence, over Princeton way, which would indicate that some persons closely allied .to Robert C. Dunn are industriously “sawing wood” these days. How- ever, it is likely that “Bob” will make an announcement about the first of the new year of his position relative to the republican guberna- torial nomination—and not a few anxious ones will rest more comfort- ably thereafter. % % Governor Eberhart gives promise of giingthe “‘Peerless Leader” a close race as the champion spell- binder of the country. The Minne- sota executive is talking a whole ‘lot these days, and seems ever ready to speak when called upon. His itinerary for the present week, and for next week, calls for some rapid moving in order to fill engagements. Cerebral Embolism. Cerebral embolism, or the occlusion or plugging of an artery in the brain, causes sudden death. Growths or veg- etations form on the valves of the heart. While attached they are harm- less, but the Instant one, large or small, becomes loosened and enters the rapid arterial current a very perilous condi- tion obtains. The embolus, or plug, enters a vessel that becomes narrower and narrower and at last it is arrested and occludes or plugs the artery, there- by cutting off the blood supply. The force of the blood current back of the embolus keeps it at the seat of arrest. In brain cases the middle cerebral ar- tery, at the base of the brain, is af- fected. Once lodged. unconsclousness follows and soon death. Some of the symptoms resemble those of a true cerebral hemorrhage or apoplexy.— New York Hgrald. HOUSE OF LORDS SEALS ITS DOOM Defeat of Budget an Un- precedented Action. CABINET WILL RESIGN Premier Asquith*Protests to the House of Commons Against the Proceed- ings In the Upper Branch of Par- llament "and Subsequently Informs the King That the Ministry’s Posi- tion Is Untenable. London, Dec. 2—The general feel- ing in England is that the house of lords, by its rejection of Chancellor Lloyd-George’s budget by a vote of 360 to 75, has sealed its own doom as a hereditary body. Many believe that this unprecedent- ed action will make the lords a purely elective body, thereby radically chang- irg the whole legislative machinery of the empire. The Conservative press naturally greets the rejection with a chorus of approval, but the Liberal newsparers take a sinister view of HERBERT H. ASQUITH. the case. clares: “The country is facing a revolu- tion.” The cabinet has resumed its session preliminary to the dissolution of par- lament. Premier Asquith submitted a mo- tion of protest to the house of com- mons. Subsequentty the premier went to Sandringham and officially notified the king of the lords’ action. Mr. Asquith explained to the king that this action has rendered the cab- inet’s position untenable and that its immediate resignation is inevitable. DURING THE HUNTING SEASON Elghty-seven Persons Killed In the United States. Chicago, Dec. 2.—A summary of the accidents which occurred. during the hunting season shows that eighty- seven persons were killed and sixty- seven injured over the United States. This is an increase of twenty killed over the year 1908 and five over 1907, Many of the accidents were caused by careless hunters mistaking men for deer and shooting them down. The dead in Minnesota are seven and seven injured. In Wisconsin twenty-six were killed and thirty-four injured, while in North Dakota but four lost their lives. EXPLOSION'FELT MANY MILES Much Damage Results, but Only One Life Is Lost. Cameron, W. Va, Dec. 2—~With a roar that could be heard at Washing- ton, Pa, twenty-five miles away, the nitroglycerin magazine of the Marietta Torpedo company, near here, explod- ed. An oil well shooter named Shus- ter was blown to pieces, as were also & horse and ‘wagon. It is not believed other fatalities occurred. Windows in 500 houses were shattered, chim- neys toppled over, ornaments thrown from mantles and walls cracked. WALSH CASE IN COURT AGAIN Banker’s Petition for Rehearing to Be Passed Upon. Chicago, Dec. 2—The United States efrcuit court of appeals on Friday will pass upon John R. Walsh’s petition for 8 rehearing. The petition was filed Nov. 4 by Attorney John 8. Miller for the banker. District Attorney Edwin W. Sims’ application for increased bail for ‘Walsh and Miller’s motion for oral ar- guments on the rehearing petition will also be decided. . F The News significantly de- Industrial Workers Arrested. Spokane, Wash., Dec. 2.—Five lead- ers of the Industrial Workers of the World were arrested under warrants charging: conspiracy to incite riots. They are held in the county jail, bonds for release being placed at $5,000 in each case. Among those ar- rested is Elizabeth Gurley Flynn, a ‘woman orator, who has been particu- larly active. LAND FRAUDS IN MINNESOTA Commissloner of Indian Affairs Is the Accuser, 8t. Paul Dec. 2—Robert G. Valen- tine, comissioner of Indian affairs, with headquarters at Washington, is quoted in & dispatch from that city as declaring that a deplorable condition exists in timber transactions on. the White Earth reservation in Minnesota. It is said that a scandal will soon be unearthed involving timber * lands ‘worth about $5,000,000 on that reserva- tion. - L b . _Buits will be instituted by the_gov- ernment to détefmine whether those who sold certain tracts of timber to the lumber companies were really full bloods or minors, or were mixed bloods and adults, who have a right to sell. The lumber companies have agreed to cease cutting on lands' where claims are disputed and to: give bond for the full - satisfaction of the allottees of timber lands in case any unauthorized cutting has been done. Booth Must Undergo Operation. Londof, Déc. 2.—A" cataract is rap- {dly forming on the remaining eye of General Booth, head of the Salva- ition Army. - An operation is inevitable. Meanwhile, he is busy addressing meetings, controlling - the' 'army' and dictating correspondence. Admiral Togo on Retired List. Tokio, Dec. 2.—Admiral Togo, chief of the general staff of the navy, has re- tired from the naval command and becomes a member of the military council. He is''succeeded by Vice Admiral Gero Ijuin. PROSPEROUS YEAR FOR THE FARMER Secretary Wilson Values Prod- *_Ucts at Over Eight Bilions, —— ‘Washington, Dec. 2—In glowing terms Secretary Wilson of the agricul- tural department, in his annual re- port, pictures the results of the farm- ers’ work for the year ended June 30 last.- “Most prosperous of all years is the place to which 1909 is entitled In agriculture,” is the way the secre- tary puts it. The value of farm prod- ucts was $8,760,000,000, a gain of $869,000,000 over the preceding year. Of great popular interest are the results of a unique investigation con- ducted by the department, which shows that in fifty other cities the ‘total retail cost charged to consumers for beef above the wholesale cost paid by the retailers averaged 38 per cent. The lower the grade of beef the great- er was the percentage of gross profit. In the upward movement of beef prices the farmer, the report says, has not shared equally with the pack- ilier, wholesaler and' retailer, but as to ‘hogs the case is different, the farmer receiving nearly his fair share of the higher prices of pork in the increased price of his unfed hogs. Secretary Wilson notes a great for- ‘ward movement in enforcing the food and drug acts, the willingness of man- ufacturers to -comply with the laws and to co-operate with the department, making its work largely educational. MILLIONS OF LIVES LOST An Awful Toll Collected by Consump- ‘tion.—Many Unnecessary Deaths from the Disease. If people could only understand that systemic catarrh is an' internal disease that external applications cannot cure, they would not need to be warned so often 'about this malady, “which, 'when neglected, paves the way oftentimes for con- sumption, at the cost of millions of lives every year. Yet catarrh may be cured if the right treatment is employed. Catarrh is caused by a general diseased state of the system which leads commonly to annoying and perhaps serious local conditions, which may prove a fertile breeding ground for germs of consumption. External remedies give but tempor- ary ease. The only way to successfully treat catarrh is by employing a medicine which is absorbed and carried by the blood to all parts of the system, so that the mucous membrane or internal lining of the body is toned up and made capable of resist- ing the infection of consumption and other diseases. We have a remedy prepared from the prescription of a physician who for thirty years studied’ and made catarrh.a specialty, and whose rec- ord was a patient restored to health in every case where his treatment was followed as prescribed. That remedy is Rexall Mucu-Tone. We are' so positive that it will completely overcome catarrh in all its various forms, whether acute or chronic, that we promise to return every penny paid us for the medicine in every case where it fails or for any reason does not satisfy the user. We want you to try Rexall Mucu- Tone- on our recommendation and and guarantee. We are right here where you live, and you do not con- tract any obligation or risk when you try Rexall Mucu-Tone on our guarantee. We have Rexall Mucu- Tone in two sizes, 50 cents and $1.00. Very often the taking of one' 50-cent bottle is sufficient to make a marked impression upon the' case. Of course in chronic cases a longer treatment is neces- sary. The average in such instances is'three $1.00° bottles. Remember you can obtain Rexall Remedies in Bemidji ‘only at our store,—The Rexall Store. Barker’s Drug Store. BIG DECREASE IN LIQUOR REVENLE Prohibition Wave. Affects fiovel_'nment Receipts. TOBACCO THE SUBSTITUTE While Whisky and Beer Taxes Show a Falling Off Smokers’ Supplies Partly Make Up Deficiency—Gigarette Hab- it Growing Steadily Despite Efforts of Legislatures to Regulate Smoking of “Coffin* Nails.” ‘Washington, Dec. 2—The spread of the temperance wave throughout the country has had a serious effect ‘upon the revenues of the government. According to the annual report of the commissioner of internal revenue the receipts from taxes on whisky ‘were $5,593,381 less during the fiscal year of 1909 than in the preceding year and on ales and beers $2,444,183 less. Apparently, if the figures are any indication, the drinkers turned to to- baceo for solace in their deprivation, for the revenues from that source in- creased during the same period $2,024,- 423. The largest increase was in chewing and pipe tobacco, $1,478,875, and the revenue from cigarettes in- creased $722,912. The total revenues amounted to $246,212,719, of which $128,315,181 came from spirits, $56, 803,496 from fermented liquors, and $51,887,187 from tobacco. _ The cigarette habit is steadily grow- ing, despite the efforts of legislatures in some of the states. There were 6,086,291,198 “coffin nails” smoked dur- ing the last fiscal year, an increase of 703,087,278 over the amount consumed in 1908. At the same time there was a de- crease of 152,185,830 in the number of cigars smoked, and an increase of 24, 447,926 pounds of smoking and chew- ing tobacco consumed. The snuff hab- it also seems to be growing, for there were 27,019,628 pounds of this sneeze mixture sold during the year, an in- crease of 4,471,866 pounds over the preceding year. DESIRES CHANGE Revenue IN LAW Discusses Commissioner Anti-Oleo Statute. ‘Washington, Dec. 2.—That the com- missioner of internal revenue would ‘Wwelcome a change in the law impos- ing a tax of 10 cents a pound on oleo- margarine made in semblance of but- ter is indicated in his annual report. The commissionier s not called upon to make recommendations in his an- nual reports, but he does so in the case of the anti-oleo act of 1902. He declares that the law, in its present form, cannot be effectively enforced and he insists that remedial legisla- tion is imperative. RANGE TOWNS FACE FAMINE All Food Must Come From Duluth, Where Embargo I Laid. Duluth, Dec. 2.—If the switchmen’s strike continues for a week the towns on the Minnesota iron ranges will be in a state bordering on famine. Practically all of the food supplies for the range towns are purchased in Duluth. With the cessation of freight movement to the ranges the situation there will immediately become desper- ate. Coal supplies on the ranges have not been bountiful this season. QUINTETTE SENT TO PRISON National Bank Embezzlers Sentenced to Five Years Each. Indianapolis, Dec. 2.—Five men who pleaded guilty in federal court to the embezzlement of funds from national ‘banks were each sentenced by Judge Anderson to five years in the federal prison at Fort Leavenworth. The men are: Max Emerich of Indianapolis, Harry C. Prinzler of Indianapolis, H. Detzer of Fort Wayne, J. H. Phil- lips of Terre Haute and Frank H. Nicolai of Auburn, Ind. STATE TO HIT AT RAILROADS Oklahoma Will Boycott Lines Enjoin- ing Tax Collections. Guthrie, Okla., Dec. 2.—That a boy- cott on the railroads which have en- Joined the collection of taxes in Okla- homa will be instituted and that the state’s shipping business and that of the public institutions will be thrown as far as possible to the taxpaying lines is probable, according to Royal J. Allen, a member of the board of af- fairs. EXONERATED BY WICKERSHAM Attorney General Investigates Secre- tary Ballinger. ‘Washington, Dec. 2.—Attorney Gen- eral Wickersham has made an ex- haustive report, after a thorough ‘in- vestigation, of the administration of Richard A. Ballinger, both as land commissioner and as secretary of the interior, and has “whitewashed” him. The report, which is now in the hands of the president, completely exonepl ates Mr. Ballinger of any act, either in office or during the brief time he was a private citizen after leaving the land office, and before he returned to Washington as secretary of the in- terior. The effect of the attorney general’s report in the opinion of men in the of- ficial circle here who have been watch- ing the controversy is to put the whole matter up to Gifford Pinchot, chief forester. WHITEMAN DENIED PAROLE New York Attorney General Against Application. Albany, N. Y, Dec. 2.—Alonzo J. ‘Whiteman, who was sentenced to Rules E. | Hall'’s Catarrh Cure. state prison from Erie county in De- cember, 1905, for a term of eight years and five months for obtaining money under false pretenses, must serve out his sentence. ‘Whiteman sought to gain his free- dom under a new statute which makes all first offenders eligible to parole when they have served half of their ‘sentence. Attorney General O’Malley, to whom the application was ' referred, holds that, as Whiteman pleaded guilty to charges in Massachusetts in 1901, he is not a‘first offender and must serve out his term. ENTOMBED _MEN _RESCUED Eight Miners In Tennessee Colllery Taken Out. ] Ducktown, Tenn., Dec. 2—The elght men who were imprisoned in the Lon- company as the result of a shafthouse fire were brought to the surface twen- ty-four hours later. A rescue party, of three was formed and without hel- mets or other device descended ‘the shaft, finding the eight men on the sixth level. The entombed miners were safely housed about 140 feet from the maln shaft. They had built a partition and ‘were thus protected from smoke and deadly gases.
