The Bemidji Pioneer admits hear- ing much about the new steel plant for Duluth, but wants to know how much progress has been 'made since the legislative investigation commit- tee visited the proposed site. Oh, about a million.and. a half dollars have been expended in pre- liminary work, such as building approaches to the proposed site and constructing a steel bridge across the St. Louis river; in fact, there are at the present time some 200 men at work on the railroad approach and the abutments for the steel bridge, while about 20 draughtsmen are en- gaged in drawing the detailed fea- tures of the plans for the plant proper. The bridge wil be completed dur- ing the winter, as well as the pre- liminary work preparatory to the construction of the plant. A $25,000,000 -plant cannot be constructed in a few months and several years—taking into consider- ation the plans and preliminary work—is not a long time for so big a project.—Duluth News-Tribune. The above infuormation is the first direct authentic statement that the writer has noticed concerning the real “inside workings” of that steel plant proposition, and we are indeed pleased to learn that there is some real labor being performed toward the desired end of having an immense steel manufacturing plant in north- ern Minnesota, at the head of the lakes. The prosperity of Duluth means the prosperity of her neigh- bors—and that steel plant will help a whole lot. Rush it to completion, neighbor. THE FARMERS’ INSTITUTE. The State Farmer’s Institute which will be held in this city to- morrow is an event which should command the attention, for a while at least, of every business man in Bemidji. The time has arrived 1n the development of northern Minne- sota when the farmer is pushing to the front as the real backbone of our prosperity; and those who till the so1l should be given every encourage- ment in their endeavors to turn this timbered . country into the most productive agricultural and dairying portion of the state. Co-operation between the business men and far- mers will do much to develop the various industries; and there could be no better medium to this end than the institute which will be held at the city hall tomorrow. Just step up to the hall, for a few moments, Mr. Busy Merchnat, and by your presence lend moral support to our farmers and those who are assisting them to use advanced methods in their labors. OPSAHL AN IVES HAV: “CONFAB.” There is much that 1s really and truly humorous in the following, taken from the Cass Lake Times, censidering the fact that the “Hon Jens. Op-ahl many a “wallop” at_the hands of the vener- received able Ives, during last winter’s fight on the normal school proposition: “Hon J. J. Opsahl, erstwhile member of the Jegislature from the sixty-first district, was a caller at The Times office the first of the week and in the interchange of ideas Mr. Opsahl remarked that he should not oppose Cass Lake in her next fight for the Normal school, that he was not and would not be a candidate again, believing that there is more honor and more profit in growing potatoes in northern Minnesota than squabbling over legislation at the capitol. Mr. Opsahl s probably right in his determination, but the district wiil have to ‘hustle’ to find a man to represent them who will be more alert or attentive to the in- terests of his constituency.” Consistent to the Last. “If 1 was to commit suicide at sea,” said Weary Walker as he shifted the bay band on his left foot, “I'd jump from th’ bow of th’ boat.” “An’ why not from th’ stern?’ que- rled Limpy Lannigan. “If 1 jumped from th’ stern,” said Weary, “I couldn’t avoid th’ wash!"— Cleveland Plain Dealer.

T0 NICARAGUA Eight Hundred at Philadel- phia Given Orders. DEMONSTRATION IS LIKELY Believed United States Is Preparing for an Immediate and Vigorous Military Display Against the Zelaya Govern ment—Scathing Note of Secretary Knox Causes Comment In Diplomatic Circles. ‘Washington, Dec. 3.—That there wili be an immediate and vigorous military demonstration by the United States against President Zelaya of Nicaragua and what is left of his government is practically certain. Eight hundred ma rines at League Island navy yard at Philadelphia have been ordered to saii on the cruiser Prairie at once. In ad dition the Prairie will carry two 3-inch field pieces, 1,800,000 rounds of am munition, tents, camp stoves and other field supplies. At Panama the Buf falo is ready to leave for Nicaragua with the 400 marines who have been doing duty on the canal zone. Later in the day the protected cruiser Al- bany and the gunboat Yorktown were ordered to proceed at full speed from Magdalena bay to Corinto, on the Pa- cific coast of Nicaragua. The gun- boat Vicksburg already is riding the waters in the harbor at Corinto and the gunboat Princeton is on her way from the Bremerton navyyard for the same port. The concentration of the four war- ships, together with the transport Buf- falo, with all her marines, at Corinto is tagen to indicate the determination of the officials here to be able to meet any call for the protection of Amer- ican citizens. On the Albany are about 280 bluejackets and on the Vicksburg, Yorktown and Princeton about 150 each. These, together with the ma- rines, would make an army equal to any organization reported to be serv- ing under Zelaya. s CAUSES GENERAL COMMENT Secretary of State’'s Note on Nic- araguan Situation. ‘Washington, Dec. 3.—There is re- Joicing in the ranks of the Nicaraguan insurrectionary party and correspond- ing gloom among those who'have been friends of President Zelaya. The cause is the ultimatum harded down by the United States to the Nic- araguan government and is contained in the note which accompanied the passports delivered by Secretary of State Knox to Felipe Rodriguez, charge of the Nicaraguan legation. The strength of the note and its personal tone are the subjects of com- ment in diplomatic circles. It is gen- erally recognized that the United States has decided the time has come to put an end to further attacks on American life and interest in Central America. The farreaching effect of the note is a matter of especial comment. The fact that President Zelaya is, appar- ently, to be held responsible for the murder, so called, of the two Amer- fcans, Groce and Cannon, and that the note intimates that Zelaya is the cul- prit, puts a sting to the situation. Al most feverish interest in the next step of this government is manifest. Warning to Other Republics. Concealed in the vigorous but care- fully prepared note dictated by Sec- reiary Knox is seen a warning to the Central American republics that they must behave and conduct themselves as other republics in the Western hemisphere conduct themselves. This and the direct announcement that the United States intehds to see that the family of Western republics lives har- moniously is believed by diplomats to be epochal. The Monroe doctrine has attained to the eyes of the diplomats a new dignity. The letter is seemingly a mere pro- test against existing conditlons and, while it bristles with declarations, it smacks of the so called American “shirt sleeve” diplomacy. That this view of the document is incorrect is plainly shown by a careful reading. The note is generally regarded as one of the most scathing documents issued from the state department in many years. REBELS GET AMMUNITION Norwegian Steamer Lands Cargo at Bluefields. Bluefields, Nicaragua, Des. 3.—The Norweg'an steamer Stavangeren has arrived here from New York with arms and ammunition for the insur- gents. The latter have been handi- capped up to this time by a lack of ammunition, but are now well 2quipped and are also supplied with machine guns and small arms. Ac- cordingly, it is announced at the in- surgent camp that the plan cf action will be chaaged, General Estrada im- mediately assum’ng the aggressive. Immense Smelter Closes. Helena, Mont, Dec. 3.—The im- mense smelter of the Boston and Mon- tana company has closed down, throw- ing 2,000 men out of work at Great Falls, because of the inability to.se- cure ore shipments from Butte. FUND TO FIGHT THE BELL Independents Raise Million Dollars for Purpose. New York, Dec. 3.—Independent telephone interests have an available fighting fund of $1,000,000 subscribed to do battle against the Bell telephone interests wherever the latter attempts to wipe out competition, testified D. A. Wilson of New York, prominently iden. tified with the independent interests, before the state inquiry into telephone and telegraph companies now going on here, “Theé disposition on the part of the *| Bell company is to annihilate the inde- pendent companies all over the coun- try,” said Mr. Wilson. The way the Bell company deteriorates the inde- pendent companies i8 to buy a com- pany here and there, thus breaking up the chain.” NEEDED FOR NAVAL FUEL IN FUTURE Three Milllon Acres of Petroleum Lands Withdrawn, - ‘Washington, Dec. 3.—The announce- ment is made by the geological survey {hat President Taft has. ordered more than 3,000,000 acres of public petro- leum. land in California, Wyoming, Utah and Oregon withdrawn from entry ‘and sale. In connection with this withdrawal the survey makes the statement that the government is not only the largest owner of oil lands in the world, but is likely soon to be the largest consumer. The six largest battleships in commission or under construction in the American navy are equipped for the use of either ofl or coal and the fourteen largest de- stroyers use oil exclusively. Govern- ment officials believe that the ques- tion of fuel supply for these vessels is certain to become an exceedingly important oue in the near future and it is urged-that a new law should be passed providing a means of perpetu- ating a supply for this certain future need. Barbers Are Professional Men. Omaha, Dec. 3.—“Conducting a bar- ber shop’and performing the duties of a barber is a profession and may be carried on on the seventh day of the week, commonly called Sunday, and is not forbidden by the Nebraska law that prohibits the engaging in com- mon labor on Sunday.” So decides Judge Crawford of the Omaha munici- pal court. .

Too many Bemidji citizens are handicapped with a bad back, The unceasing pain causes con- stant misery, making work a bur- den and stooping or lifting an im- possibility. The back aches at night, preventing refreshing rest and in the morning is stiff and lame. Plasters and linaments may give relief but cannot reach the cause, To eliminate the pains and aches you must cure the kidneys, Doan’s Kidney Pills cure sick kidneys and cure them per- manently. Can you doubt Be- midji evidence? Mrs. E. E. Hanks, 223 Park Ave., Bemidji, Minn,, says: ¢I used Doan’s Kidney Pills and the relief I received from their use was very great. There was a dull pain in the small of my back which caused me much suffering. I be- came very dizzy at times and dark spots floated before my eyes. Hearing about Doan’s Kidney Pills, I procured a box at the Owl Drug Store and felt better in every way after using them.” For sale by all dealers. Price 50 cents.

PARLIAMENT T0 BE DISSOLVED {British ‘Ruler Grants Re-| quest of Premier, COMMONS CENSURES LORDS Resolution Adopted Declaring That Re- Jection of 'the Budget Was a:Breach of the Constitution and ‘Usurpation of the Rights of the Lower House. Remarks of Government Leader Evoke Applause. London, Dec. 3.—Premier Asquith’s resolution: declaring that the house of lord’s rejection of the budget constitut: ed a breach of the constitution and a usurpation of the:rights of the house of commons was carried by a vote of 349 to 134, Tremendous cheering greeted the result. After the vote was announced the house adjourned. Prior to this action Premier As quith announced that the government bad advised King Edward to dissolve parliament, and that his majesty had accepted the invitation. The premier added that if the Liber als were returned to power the first act of the government would be the re-enactment of all the taxes for which provision was made in the budget re: Jected by the house of lords. The prime minister pointed out that in opening the .parliament the king had invited the house of commong alone to make provisfon for the heavy additional expenditure in view of the necessities in the way of social reform and the national defense. The budget was the result and it represented, he said, in a greater degree than could be said of any other measure of “our me,” the deliberate work of an over- whelming majority of the representa tives of the people. In the course of the week that whole fabric had been thrown to the ground by a body which, admittedly, had no power to increase or decrease a single tax. DEADLIER THAN LABOR RIOTS Football Kills More Men Every Year, Says John Mitchell. New York, Dec.' 3.—"“More men are killed as the result of playing football in one year than are killed in labor troubles and more are hurt or are arrested as the result of election brawls than all the strikes show,” said John Mitchell, vice president ot the American Federation of Labor, speaking egainst the general impres- sion that violence always follows la- bor troubles. His address was delivered at the opening session of the sociological conference, held under the auspices of the Presbyterian board of home mis- sions. PACKERS IN A NEW FIELD Kansas City Jury Finds They Fix Produce Prices. Kansas City, Dec. 3.—Do the pack. ers control the prices of eggs and but ter in Kansas City as well as meat? The criminal court grand jury in its investigation of the Kansas City Fruit and Produce Exchange has struck a trail that leads directly to the pack- ers’ door. It was brought out that the Armour Packing company, Swift & Co. and the Cudahy Packing company are members of the board of directors of the Fruit and Produce Exchange, which meets every morning to fix the market prices of. fruits,.butter, eggs and other products. NEGRO . BURNED AT - STAKE Captured by Mob, Bound With Chains and Fired. Cochran, Ga., Dec. 3.—John Har- vard, a negro preacher, who shot and fatally injured Will D. Booth two miles from' this- place, was captured by a mob of enraged citizens five miles from there and.burned at 2 steke, more than a carload of light wood, it is said, being heaped: about the body.

New York, Dec. 3.—The interests ot women suffrage and the woman who toils were linked by more than sympa- thetic interest in New York with the announcement - that the Political Equality league, of which Mrs. O. H. MRS. BEEMONT. P.
