The state presa, with but one or two exceptions of minor importance, ‘is lining up for Albert Kaiser, the Bagley banker, for the republican nomination for state treasurer; and Ninth district papers take very kindly to Mr. Kaiser’s candidacy. The Moorhead Independent recently published the following kindly mention ot Mr. Kaiser: “The state press is mentioning the name of A. Kaiser of Bagley in connection with the office of state treasurer in a very kindly manner. Mr. Kaiser has many warm friends in Moorhead and vicinity who would be glad to see him land the the office. “The office of state treasurer has so far been conceded to the German population of the state, and as Mr. Kaiser isa German and otherwise fitted by large experience in financial matters, he would be perfectly elig- ible. “Mr. Kaiser is cashier of the First National bank at Bagley and also interested in the First National bank at Fosston. It isup to the people of northern Minnesota to pull for a northern Minnesota man when that part of the state has a man who will fill the bill.” “MACK.” IS LIKED WHEREVER KNOWN. The International Falls Press says of “Our Mack:” “W. R. Mackenzie, general mana- ger af the Northern Minnesota Farm Land Co., recently made an ex- tended trip through Illinois and the central states in the interest of his company. This is an organization to secure settlers in Beltrami and Clearwater counties. “He expects to secure a great many settlers from the central states in the near future. Such an organ- ized movement to secure settlers as Mr. Mackenzie is bringing about, is certain to meet with gratifying suc- cess. “Beltrami in the vicinity of Be- midji can offer some splendid induce- ments to settlers, one of which is good roads at all seasons. “International Falls is handi- capped in this respect, and we venture to say that the man who will solve the road and state land problem for northern Minnesota, will need no others recommenda- tion to make him a leader in our state.” “Our Mack.” is known all over this section as one of the greatest advocates of successful farming and dairying in northern Minnesota; and should he be fortunate enough to “land” asa member of the board of managers of the Minnesota State Fair, northern Minnesota people would be certain of having a “friend at court.” éWlLL FIGHT [MILK TRUST Hlinois Producers to Re-Establish Their Own Creameries. Chicago, Jan. 6.—The milk producers of the Chicago district of Northern Illi- nois have decided to resurrect a dormant industry in their fight against the milk trust. They are considering plans to re-establish their own cream- eries, which were sold to the Borden company ten and fifteen years ago. This will act as an outlet for their product if the ociation does not succeed in establishing its own dis- tributing depot in Chicago. Fifteen years ago, the producers point out, the Northern Illinois sec- tion was dotted with creameries es- tablished by the farmers, many of them being run on the co-operative plan. This was when the Borden com- pany was beginning to branch out. Offers of purchase were made to fa- cllitate trading with the farmers and they agreed. Harvard, 111, is first in the field with a plan to start its own bottling plant and a creamery annex i8 now being considered.

STORM RAGES IN MIDDLE WEST Worst Blizzard of Season in Several States. RAILROAD TRAINS BLOCKED While No Fatalities Have Been Re- ported Immense Damage Has Been Done and Communication Is Badly Crippled—Cold Spell in New York City Causes Great Suffering Among the Poor. Chicago, Jan. 6.—The storm which gripped Colorado Tuesday moved east- ward and the Middle West is expe- riencing one of the worst storms in years, according to advices received from many cities. While no reports of fatalitics have been received from the immediate vicinity of Chicago im- mense damage has been done. Rail- road trains are blocked everywhere and telegraph and telephone communi- cation is badly crippled. In Chicago the extreme cold weath- er which has prevailed for several days had moderated when the city awoke to find five inches of sleet on the ground. A high wind was blow- ing, however, and this drifted the sleet badly in the streets, making the highways impassable in many places Ice on the tracks completely tied up surface and elevated traffic for several hours and caused a number of minor wrecks on the surburban railroad lines. As a result the suburban and elevated trains were running from one to three hours late. Scores of per- sons received minor injuries by slip- ping on the icy, sleet covered side- walks. - Coal Shortage in lowa. The blizzard reached its height in Iowa and Nebraska. Reports from Des Moines indicate it is the worst storm Iowa has experienced in many years and the damage will be enor- mous. Besides Iowa City, where the state university has been compelled to close its doors because of a shortage of fuel to heat the place, many other Iowa towns have reported a similar shortage. The frequency of the recent storms has delayed traffic for days and it has been impossible to ship enough coal to supply all the Iowa towns. Numerous railroad wrecks are also reported. In Nebraska a similar condition pre- vails. The storm has caused inter- ruption of street railway traffic in Omaha and Lincoln, forcing the clos- ing of many of the Omaha public schools. Nebraska railroads, especial- ly in the northern part of the state, report many trains stalled. The rail- road trouble is so general that it will be days before traffic can be moved normally. The blizzard was also general in Missouri, Kansas and Oklahoma. SUFFERING ATTENDS COLD Heavy Snow Follows Frigid Night in New York. New York, Jan. 6.—New York, after one of the coldest nights of the win- ter, was confronted w'th a snow storm. The sufferings of the night, induced by a minimum temperature of 9 de- grees above and a biting wind, were intense in the poorer quarters. The municipal lodging house alone enter- tained nearly 500 persons, over a score of them women. Two men and two women fell from the waiting line at the lodging house and had to be taken to hospitals suffering from exposure. One of the women died. A thinly clad wanderer was picked up dead on the street. He had died from exposure. Another unidentified man fell unconscious in the snow and was taken to a hospital in a dying condition. TRAIN CRASHES INTO AUTO Wealthy Horseman and Wife Killed at Railroad Crossing. Chicage, Jan. 6.—Lewis E. Cone, a rich horseman, and his wife were run down and killed by an Illinois Cen- tral suburban train on the South Side ‘while endeavoring to cross the tracks In their automobile. Cone failed to see the train ap- proaching around a curve and the en- gine caught the rear of the auto and jammed it against the platform of a suburban station. Both occupants were terribly crushed, Mrs. Cone be- ing instantly killed. Her body was mashed into a shapeless mass. Cone died while being carried from the wreck of the auto to a drug store. PASSENGER TRAIN STALLED One Hundred Persons on Board Suffer From the Cold. Salt Lake City, Jan. 6.—A passen- ger train, according to a message re- ceived at the San Pedro, Los Angeles and Salt Lake route office, is stalled between two washouts 100 miles from Caliente, Nev.

Mansor to Elias Nicola, to be the latter's wife, is revealed in the story back of the filing of a suit for divorce by Nieola in the municipal court. Nicola sets forth that he and Mansor were old friends and when the latter became ill & few years ago amd con- tracted bills for $300 he proposed to Nicola that for the amount of his fn. —~— debtedness ha woutd sell iifs daughter, who was in Europe. The $300 was paid and transporta- tlon was sent the daughter, but Nicola was surprised to find her a mere girl. They were married, however, on decla- ration of the father that she was six- teen. As time passed the girl decided she did not want Nicola for a husband. SETTLERS FEAR FOR LIVES Raving Maniac, Armed With Gun, Threatens to Shoot on Sight. Duluth, Jan. i»—John Votella, sixty years of age, said to be a raving maniac, is roaming with a gun on his shoulder in the vicinity of Sucker river. So afraid of him are the set- tlers in the vicinity that they visited the county probate office and flled in- formation of insanity against him. Votella threatens to shoot persons on sight and the settlers dodge behind boulders or underbrush when he is seen approaching. The settlers wish him sent away so that their lives may become more peaceful. They say he appears at the most inopportune times and is always ready to give chase to those who hap- pen to be within reach of his voice. ESTRADA ADVANGING BY THREE ROUTES Revolutionists Marching on Cap- ital of Nicaragua. Bluefields, Nicaragua, Jan. l.—Pro- visional President Estrada is not go: ing to stake the success of the entire revolutionary movement on a single battle at Acoyapa, if the manner of his advance on Managua, now well un- der way, is an indication of his plan of campaign, The advance is being made by three routes—one division being under Gen- eral Toledo, which will sail up the San Juan river and possibly move on to Managua via Lake Managua; another under General Mena, which will en- gage the government army at Acoya- pa, in Central Nicaragua, and a third under General Matuity, which is now advancing to the Chentales district and may either co-operate with Mena’s division or detour to the north or south of Acoyapa.

The dead are: Fire Captain John Hennessy, Fire Lieutenant Dominic O'Donnell, Pipeman, :William ¢ Foley and Pipeman Joseph Sullivan, The fire started in the machine shop of the plant and spread rapidly under a terrific west wind. The victims ‘were members of the first company to reach the scene. Captain Hennessy and his company were standing under the wall of the plant, playing a stream on the flames, when the wind sent the wall crashing down upon them before they heard the shouts of warning from other firemen. | Thousands of tons of brick burled Hennessy and 0’Donnell, crushing them terribly, while Foley and Sulli- van were running out of range when they were struck cown.

Hawley of the Switchmen’s union of North America was informed of a re port that 1,000 strikebreakers were be- ing added to those now in the affected territory in the Northwest. His only comment was: “All right; let them come on.” At the local strike headquarters there was no apparent change in the condition. President Hawley still in- sists that no men have returned to work in Butte, Mont., and Great Falls, and that traffic at the Head of the Lakes is tied up, with only 25 per cent of the normal force working in Duluth and practically not a wheel turning in Superior. The local strike leaders are await- ing such action as may be taken in Washington following the conference of Chairman H. B. Perham with Unit- ed States Labor Commissioner Neill and Chairman Knapp of the interstate commerce commission. No Conference in Washington. ‘Washington, Jan. —H. B. Perham, chairman of the railway department conference of the American Federa- tion of Labor, did not resume his con- ferences with Commissioners Knapp and Neill about the strike of the switchmen. He made no statement about the progress of his plans for a settlement of the trouble. THE BflGTUB’SfiIESTIl]N Some Advice Against the Use of Harsh Purgatives and Physics. A doctor’s first question when consulted by a patientis, ¢ Are your bowels regular? ” He knows that 98 per cent of illness is attended with inactive bowels and torpid liver. This condition poisons the system with waste matter and causes accumulation of gases which must be removed through the bowels before health can be restored, Salts, ordinary pil’s and cathar- tics may be truly likened to dyna- mite. Through their harsh, irri- tating action they force a passage through the bowels, causing pain and damage to the delicate intest- inal structure which weakens the whole system, and at best only produces temporary relief. The repeated use of such treatments causes chronic irritation of the stomach and bowels, dries and hardens their tissues, deadens their nerves, stiffens their muscles and generally brings about an injurious habit which sometimes has almost, if not fatal results, We have a pleasant and safe remedy for constipation and bowel disorders in general. We are so certain of its great curative ‘value that we promise to return the pyr- chaser’s money in every case where it fails to produce entire satisfaction. This remedy is called Rexall Orderlies, We urge you to try them at our entire risk, Rexall Orderlies are eaten like candy, they act quietly and have a soothing strengthening, healing, regulative influence on the - entire intestinal - tract, They do not purge, gripe, cause nausea, flatu- lence, excessive looseness, diar- rhoea or other annoying eftects, and they may be taken at any time without inconvenience.
