[CITY DRUG STOREI The Oldest Drug Store in Bemidji This store needs no introduction to the people of this county. It has served the people of this community faith- fully in the past and its endeavor to do even better, in the future under the new present management, is the earnest desire of the present proprietors.

The market showed. an almost entire lack of organized support and the stream of liquidation was allowed un- checked effect on prices. Colorado Fuel was forced down 4%, Union Pacific 3%, Reading 33, United States Steel and Amalgamated Copper 3, Southern Pacific- 2%, Anaconda 25 and so on for less prominent stocks.

SHORT LIVED Parisians Believed Waters Were Subsiding, SITUATION NOT IMPROVED Momentary Fall in the Seine Due to a Rapid Overflow Where the River Had Broken Its Barriers—Raging Torrent Runs Through the City of Paris at the Rate of Twenty-five Miles an Hour. ¢ Paris, Jan. 28.—The sun is shining In Paris. The rain ceased throughout the afflicted district before noon and as the waters of the Seine appeared tc subside the lamentations of the popu lace gave way to rejoicing. It is hoped that the worst is over, but the wish is father to the thought. At 12 o’clock the water gauge showed & drop in the waters of the Seine at Point Royal. The subsidence con tinued for thirty minutes, amounting to three-quarters of an inch. Cries ol Joy from the watchers were taken up by thousands along the quays. Later it was asserted that the fall was due to the rapid overflow into the Bercy quarter from points where the Seine had broken barriers. The ex perts say that the river is still rising but that the maximum flood should be reached soon. The Bercy quarter has been abandoned by the residents. The valley of the Seine now presents a terrifying spectacle. The flood is miles wide for twenty-five miles above and the raging torrent runs through the city at the rate of twenty-five miles an hour. It is flush with the parapets of the bridges, where it is not actually overflowing them, turning streets into muddy lagoons and chok- ing underground ‘workings of the city to the bursting point. Paris resembles a beleaguered city. The military commander in each of the five sections into’ which the me- tropolis has been divided holds his soldiers in constant readiness for dis- patch to points of danger. The gov- ernment of the municipality has placed the military barracks and public school buildings at the disposal of the refugees, who already number more than 100,000. Miles of Streets Washed Away. Miles of the boulevards of Paris, one of the city’s chief points of pride, have been washed away, many of the most notable structures in the city, to see which' travelers have been wont to come from the corners of the earth, have already suffered heavy loss and are in danger of collapse; 50,000 are homeless and subsisting on scant pro- visions furnished by the city; the in- dustrial life of the city is completely suspended and the one thought in the minds of the people is the imminence of a staggering calamity that may yet come if the Seine continues to rise. For once Paris has been sobered. The gay mood that permitted the peo- ple to look on the flood for their enter- tainment, has departed and grim fear is now in the hearts of every one and i8 plainly written in the faces of all. Every subway in Paris—and Paris has more underground tunnels than any other city in the worli—is now flooded. This is the cause of the enor- mous damage, a damage that in Paris alone is likely to run over $100,000,000. These sybterranean rivers "have caused the collapse of scores of streets and are responsible for the water that now stands in varying depths over nearly half of the city. Had it not been for the filling ot these subways the loss would have been comparztively slight, confined mostly to the groperty along the river front.. As it is every part of the city has been affected. CAUSES PANIC IN TENEMENTS Fire.Rages in New York City Factory Building. New’ York, Jan. 28.—Panic reigned in nearby tenements while fire' was raging in-a five-story factory building on Elizabeth street and more than 100 perzons fled to the street in terror, = In fighting the flames, which for « time threatened St. Matthew’s German Lutheran church apd- parsonage ad- joining, Fire Captain Josepa Connell; fell two stories and was seriously in- jured. Six other firemen were cut off by the collapse of a stairway, but es- caped by a daring slide down lines of extended hose. The first burst of the flames was soon subdued by the firemen and the damage was not heavy. YOUTHFUL LOVERS END LIFE lowa Children Take Poison and Die in Each Others’ Arms. Des Moines, Jan. 28.—Because their parents would not let them marry, owing to their youth, Vernon Barr, aged sixteen, and Lina Ammer, aged fourteen, killed inemselves. They were from well to do families. Their bodies were found near Monroe, in the boy’s buggy, in which they had ridden home from a dance. The two ‘were claspéd in each others’ arms and were sitting upright on the seat. On the girl’s' lap rested a cup partially filled with strychnine and water. They had both drunk of the mixtur¢ and then waited for death. TELLS WHY AMERICAN PLAN WAS REJECTED Baron- Komura Discusses Ja- pan’s Manchurian Projects. Tokio, Jan. 28—Japan stands for the “open door” in Manchuria, but in- sists that it will place its own inter- pretation on just what constitutes such “open door” and will refuse to accept any outside dictation. It also insists that the status of Manchuria has been firmly fixed by the treaties of Portsmouth and Peking and that the subject matter of such treaties is sufficiently plain for all nations to read. That fact was made plain at the day’s sessiofl of the diet. Minister for Foreign Affairs Baron Komura, who was called on to explain the recent proposal made by the state department of the United States, over which there has been much misunderstanding throughout Japan, made this plain. “The imperial government must ab- solutely refuse to abandon its Man- churian raiiway projects,” he said. “Were there to be a change- there such a change might be attended with serious consequences. “For this reason, and because it was thought best to avoid any outside misunderstanding of the policies of Japan, the proposal of the United States has been rejected.” GUEST WOULD KISS BRIDE Riot Ends Wedding Festivities at Chicago. Chicago, Jan. 28.—Festivities at the old, broke up in a riot cail for the po- lice. . Furniture was smashed, the dishes of the wedding banquet were thrown out the window and eight of the guests were arrested, some of them being so seriously injured they later had to be removed to a hospital. Immediately after the ceremony the trouble began. John Daniel, in ac- [ cordance with a Polish custom as to the arrangement of dancers, claimed the privilege of kissing the bride first. On being denied this, according to the charge against him, he. picked up & hatchet, wielding it right and left. ‘When a wagon load of police entered the place they found the floor covered with blood, the windows broken and the furniture and musical instruments scattered. The bridegroom was found locked in a closet, where he had been hidden by the bride. Max Noga, one of the guests, received injuries from which it was said he would probably die. Dies at Age of 119.
