Entered In the Postoffice at Bemid]l, Minnesota, class matter, SUBSGRIPTION---$5.00 PER YEAR IN ADVANGE NINTH DISTRICT ENTITLED TO RECOGNI- TION. The Crookston Times, in a recent issue, takes a firm stand for the re- cognition of the North half of the State by the Republican party. Its warning is both timely and good and should be heeded by the party. It says: ‘““The Republicans of the state of of Minnesota should not ignore the Ninth Congressional district. It would appear that this district is entitled to at least one state office. At the present time no state officer is serving who resides north of St. Cloud, and if our memory serves us right, no state officer was ever elected who resided this side of St. Cloud. “In the candidacy of A. Kaiser of Bagley, for state treasurer, the Re- publican party has an opportunity to gain a great deal of strength in this section of the state. There bas been too much political “log rclling” in the past for the good of the party in this state. Mr. Kaiser in the past has never sought and bas never held an office of any kind. He has always devoted his energies to securing the election of Re- publican friends who were candi- dates for office. “It is such men who are entitled to recognition. The Times is not half hearted in its support of Mr. Kaiser as the logical candidate for state treasurer. He has been a life long Republican, has been loyal and a hardworking member of the past, bas never sought recognition and is not now doing so, but was brought forward by his friends as a strong candidate and there is no question but what he is the strongest man, and has the largest following of any man yet mentioned for the office of state treasurer. “He would carry the Ninth dis- trict solid and in addition has very strong backing in the southern part of the state, where he has many rela- tives and friends. *“With a record which is absolutely above reproach, with ability, experi- ence and many other points in his favor, Mr. Kaiser is the logical can- didate for a state office from North- ern Minnesota, and the people in this district should unite in giving him their most hearty support. “Though not a resident of Crooks- ton, the people of this city will with- out doubt do all in their power to further the candidacy of Mr. Kaiser for State Treasurer.” BY THE WAY. Learning without a little common sense is a dangerous thing. Keep “shoveling” common sense. A man fools himself when he imagines other people never tire of hearing him talk. The less a man knows of him- self the more he thinks of himself, and the more he knows about other people’s business the less he knows of his own. ‘When you burry the hatchet call it “quits,” don’t dig up or borrow an ax. The less a woman has to say the longer 1t takes her to say it. “Twice as cold as zero”—How cold is that? It may be that you are infringing on someone’s rights when you say this and have never been north of the eightieth parallel. Business and politics. After fail- ing in business, many a man has made a fortune in politics. WANTS ALIMONY ANNULLED Divorced Wife of Chicago Man Now His Business Rival. Chicago, Jan. 10.—The necessity of paying his divorced wife $12 a month alimony when she has become a for- midable rival to his candy manufac- tory caused a loud protest from Bene- detto Allegretti, owner of a candy fac- tory, to Judge McSurley in the su- perior court. According to the statement of coun- sel for Allegretti the candy man has been bested by his wife in a fight for the control of a large number of pa- trons and now finds himself forced to donate money to as prosperous a busi- ness person as himself,” who already. has chagrined him by winning a de- cree of divorce in a contested case. Al legretti wants the alimony annulled. NO CHANGE IN STRIKE STATUS Switchmen’s Officials Await Developments. REPORT GIVEN CREDENCE Belleve Affiliated Unions Are Consid- ering a Sympathetic Walkout in the Affected District—Railroad Man- agers Declare Such a Step Might Inconvenience Them, but They In- sist They Could Secure Sufficient | Outside Help. St. Paul, Jan. 1).—The Switchmen’s union officials are still waiting for the promised letter from Chairman H. B. Perham, in which the latter is expect- ed to explain fully the result of his conference with the government offi- clals in Washington. President F. T. Hawley said that until it should arrive no move would be made with regard to enlisting the active support of other railway un- fons affiliated with the American Fed- eration of Labor. According to published reports of Perham’s conference it was barren of results as far as the switchmen were concerned, but he wired Mr. Hawley that the published reports were er- roneous and that he would explain fully by mail. Reports to the effect that the ma- chinists, freight handlers, boiler- makers and other organizations are considering a sympathetic strike are given credence at strike headquarters, but do not have much effect on the railroad officials. The latter admit that they might be inconvenienced for a time by the lack of machinists, but insist that they would have no diffi- culty in obtaining outside labor for all their needs. KIDNAPPED BY SOCIALISTS Members of British Peerage Angry at the Indignity. London, Jan. 1 .—The London Stand- ard is authority for the statement that Lord Ronaldshay, member of parlia- ment, was kidnapped after addressing a political meeting and was forced in- to a gathering of Socialists, who bom- barded him with questions. Lord Ronaldshay left the first meet- ing in company with several friends, but was forcibly taken from them. He ‘was compelled to spend several hours among the Socialists and was on the verge of collapse when finally liber- ated. It is said that several prominent politicians will be prosecuted for tak- ing part in the kidnapping. It was the second indignity heaped upon Lord Ronaldshay during the evening, as his own meeting broke up in disorder ow- ing to the tactics of numerous row- dies in the audience. The controversy over Irish home rule, which the Liberals have promised in the event of their success, is be- coming more intense every day and now occupies almost as much atten- tion as the question of tariff reforms. AT CROOKSTON AND BISMARCK Two New Catholic Diocesses for the Northwest. St. Paul, Jan. 10.—Archbishop John Ireland has made an announcement which will be of supreme interest not only to the Catholics of Minnesota, but to those of the entire Northwest. It is that two new dioceses have been created, one in Minnesota and one in North Dakota. The archbishop made public this piece of news in the fol- lowing statement: “The recommendation of the bishops of the ecclesiastical province of St. Paul that two new dioceses be formed in the Northwest has been favorably acted upon in Rome. They are that of Crookston, in Northwestern Minne- sota, and that of Bismarck, in West- ern North Dakota. “The new diocese of Crookston takes in all that part of Minnesota west of the easterly lines of Hubbard and Bel- trami counties and north of the south- erly lines of Clay, Becker and Hub- bard counties. “The new diocese of Bismarck takes in all the state of North Dakota west of the easterly line of Emmons, Bur- leigh, McLean and Ward countles. “The new see cities will be Crooks- ton and Bismarck respectively. A new bishop will be appointed for each one of these new dioceses without any great delay.” ATTACK CORPORATION LAW St. Paul Business Men Start Crusade Against Federal Statute. St. Paul, Jan. 10.—Opposition to the federal corporation tax is taking con- crete form and results are predicted by corporation interests of the city. The efforts of those opposed to the tax will be confined to securing an amendment which will do away with the publicity features of the law. The attempt to obtain the amendment will be made at this congress and it is hoped to have it in time to protect the records which will be turned into the government next March. It is also planned to bring the mat- ter to the attention of the courts and an attempt will be made to prove the law unconstitutional. Opinions by sev- eral lawyers are that the law will be thrown out by the court. That will take a year or more for action. No suit can be brought until the govern- ment starts to collect the tax. DEATH OF CARDINAL SATOLLI Was First Apostolic Delegate to the United States. Rome, Jan. 10.—Francesco Satolll, one of the papal bishops of the Cath- olic church, is dead after a three ‘Weeks’ fllness of nephritia. TCardinal Satolll years old and was raised to the car- dinalate in 1885. He was professor of congregational studies at the time of his death. For more than two weeks the car- dinal’s death had been expected. He made frequent rallies, but the doctors held out no hope. . Cardinal Satolli was the first apos- tolic delegate from the Vatican to the United States. REFUSED TO DONATE QUARTER MILLION Senator Stephenson’s Reason for Break With La Follette. Mflwaukee, Jan. 10.—The reason Benator La Follette and Senator Isaac Stepheason came to a parting of the ways was hecause the latter refused to put up a quarter of a million dol- lars for a presidential campaign for the senior senator. Such was the statement of Senator Stephenson when his deposition was taken for use in the libel suit brought by H. L. Ekern against Assemblyman ISAAC STEPHENSON. A. T. Twesme on account of matters growing out of the campaign of 1908. Probably Senator Stephenson would not have said so much, but the per- sistency and insinuations of the attor- ney for the plaintiff finally stirred him up and brought from him what he said was the real reason why Senator La Follette and his “progressive” sup- porters switched away from him. From Senator Stephenson’s testi- mony, given at times with evident re- luctance, it appeated that after he had been asked to “sweeten” the campaign pot by $250,000 the demand was low- ered to $25,000 and finally the La Fol- lette men were glad to take two checks for $1,000 each. BRIGHT OUTLOOK FOR BUSINESS IN 1910 Conditions as Seen by Dun's Review of Trade, New York, Jan. 10.—R. G. Dun & Co.’s Weekly Review of Trade says: Not in a half decade has a year opened with the business outlook so generally auspicious’as the year 1910. Some of the perplexing issues which contributed to the crisis of 1907 still remain unsolved, while the question of high prices has become more acute, but it would seem as if business con- fidence was not going to permit these things to interfere with the further progress of industry and commerce. The optimism which usually prevails at this season is this time, apparently, well supported by the facts of the economic situation. In the great iron and steel trade, which is so basic, this spirit of optimism is particularly con- apicuous. Conditions are not so pronouncedly wtrong in some other departments, but with favorable agricultural conditions and with no event—political or other- wise—to impair the confidence of business men in the credit structure, there seems to be no reason to doubt a good year. Dies Playing Basket Ball. New York, Jan. 10.—Basket ball teams of the Newark and East Orange high schools opened the interscholastic series in the Newark Y. M. C. A. Scrimmage followed scrimmage in rapid succession. ‘Suddenly Guy E. Lyons, seventeen years old, right for- ward on the Newark team, sank sense- less to the floor and infifteen minutes was dead. Physicians said he had died of valvular trouble of the heart. Another Fight for the House. ‘Washington, Jan. 10.—Another fight between the insurgents and the or- ganization in the house has been pre- cipitated by the action of the senate committee on public lands in report- ing a resolution authorizing the ap- pointment by the vice president and speaker of a joint committee to inves- tigate the Ballinger-Pinchot contro- versy. HOOKWORM IN A COLLEGE Scores of Students of New Orleans In- stitution Are-Afflicted. * New Orleans, Jan. 1'.—Consterna- tion prevails among the one hundred or more students of Tulane college following the examination of every student for hookworm. It is now announced that more than a third of the members of one class were found to be infected with the parasite. Practically all of the stu- dents said to be thus affected are ap- parently robust specimens of man- hood. - was _seventy-one | INSURGENTS ARE HIGHLY PLEASED Elated by Their Victory Over House Regulars. EXPECT TO REPEAT IT Declare They Can Turn the Trick Whenever They So Desire znd An- nounce Their Intention to Force Cannon to Retire—Organization Re- publicans Claim They Were Caught Napping and Say it Will Not Hap- pen Again. ‘Washington, Jan. 1 .— Hugging themselves with glee over the wallop- ing they gave the Cannon organiza- tion in carrying the amendment to have the house and not the speaker select the committee that is to inves- tigate the Ballinger-Pinchot contro- versy the house insurgents are pre- paring for the next encounter. “I told you we’d get him before the session was much older. We can throw him every time we please,” said Victor Murdock, chief insurgent mem- ber from Kansas. That the overthrow of the speaker ‘was a severe jolt for the house organ- ization is conceded, even by Cannon’s closest friends, but they assert it will not happen again. “We were off our guard for a few minutes, that’s how it came to hap- pen,” said one of them, “If we could have postponed that thing for a little while we would have had plenty of votes in the chamber to defeat the in- surgents. Neither is it very pleasant for the speaker, but he is a good loser and you’ll mot hear him putting up a weep. Tne votes of Ames of Massa- chusetts and Fish of New York, who are personal friends of Pinchot, gave the opposition the votes they needed. If the personal equation had not en- tered into the matter these two men would have voted with the organiza- tion and the vote would have stood 148 against 147 and the Norris amend- ment would have been lost.” Intend to Get Cannon.- “It is just that personal equation which Cannon people so slightly dis- ouss that is going to unhorse the speaker every once in a while this session and will finally cause his re- tirement from public life,” said one of the insurgents. “The speaker has made S0 many enemies by his arbitrary rulings and his riding roughshod over individual members that scores of them are wait- ing for an excuse to jump up and swat him. Every one of the Republican insurgents voted 'to pass the resolu- tlon of investigation and the Cannon crowd will find it difficult to convince any one that in voting against him we opposed the administration.” It is not claimed by even the most rabid insurgents that the defeat of the speaker necessarily endangers his_job during the present congress. It shows that the insurgents now have a tenta- tive hold on the balance of power and that by combining with the Democrats they can come pretty near defeating the speaker any time they want to.

Cincinnati, Jan. 1 .—United States secret service men who have been in- vestigating the Burley Tobacco soci- ety asserted that suit for the dissolu- tion of the society on the ground that the society operates in violation of the Sherman anti-trust law will be begun in the United States district court here in a few days.

Rome, Jan. 1 .—A gervant girl in Turin became possessed recently of a religious mania. The woman who em- ployed her found her crucified. The girl, after placing thorns in her head and inflicting a severe wound on her chest, nailed her feet and her left hand to the boards of her bed and spent the night suffering tortures. ‘When discovered she was unconscious. She was taken to a hospital in a crit- {cal condition. % 2 She said that out of love for Christ she voluntarily crucified herself. Her reason, she said, was that she wished to share Christ’s sufferings. 7 30 YEARS OF SUGGESS The Barker's Drug Store offers a Remedy for Catarrh. The Medi- cine Costs Nothing if It Fails. When a medicine effects a suc- cessful treatment in a very large majority of cases, and when we offer that medicine on our own personal guarantee that it will cost the user nothing if it does not completely relieve catarrh, it is only reasonable that people should believe us, or at least put our claim to a praciical test when we take all the risk.

We want them to try Rexall Mucu-Tone, a medicine prepared from a prescription of a physician with whom catarrh was a'specialty, and who has a record of thirdy years of enviable success to his record. We receive more good reports about Rexall Mucu-Tone than we do of ‘all other catarrh remedies sold in our store, and if more people only knew what a thor. oughly dependable remedp Rexall Mucu-Tone 1s, it would be the only catarrh remedy we would have any demand for. Rexall Mucu-Tone is quickly absorbed and by its therapeutic efiect tends to disinfect and cleanse the entire mucous mem- braneous tract, to destroy and remove the paraites which injure the membraneous tissues, to soothe the irritation and heal the soreness, stop the mucous dis- charge, build up strong, healthy tissue and relieve the blood and system of diseased matter, “Its influence is toward stimulating the muco cells, aiding digestion and improving nutrition until the whole body vibrates with healthy activity. In acomparatively short time it brings. about a noticeable gain in weight, strenght, good color and feeling of buoyancy. We urge you to try Rexall Mncu-Tone, beginning a treat- ment today, At any time you are not satisfied, simply come and tell us, and we will quickly return your money without question or quibble.
