Says the Walker Tilot: “Al Kaiser for state treasurer” appears to be quite a contageous expression all over the state just at present. One sometimes wonders if tbe business men of a community will ever get done patronizing fake ad- vertising schemes. Every once ina while some one drops into the town and has no difficulty in getting from twenty to forty dollars worth of ad- vertising on some kind of a free dis- tribution scheme of questionable merit, for which they feel like kick- ing themselves ever afterwards. It doesn’t take any longer to say no than yes.—Brodhead Register. Mr. Albert F. Kaiser, a banker of Bagley, has been frequently men- tioned of late as a candidate for State Treasurer, and we think as the Bemidji Pioneer suggests, that the northern part of the state is entitled to something of this kind. On speak- ing with Judge Wright regarding Mr. Kaiser the Judge unhesitatingly says that Mr. Kaiser is well qualified for any such position. He is also an old time republican and well known both as a business and pub- lic wman—Hubbard Co. Clipper. “Kolls Kolumn,” in the Cass Lake Times, says of “AlL H. Jester, and his candidacy for the republican nomination for state senator from this district: “Al H. Jester, of Bemidji, Minn., announces his candidacy for the re- publican nomination for State Senator of the Sixty First Senatorial District this week. I have never met the gentleman, but the Bemidji Pioneer gives him a warm send off and if all these things are true he ought tomake a good state senator.” According to M. N. Koll, in his “Koll’s Kolumn,” Cass Lake. will send a live delegation to the devel- opment and reapportionment meet- ing which will be held in this city February 17-18. Says Mr. Koll: “I bave heard much favorable comment on the forthcoming -devel- opment meeting at Bemidji next month and the indications are as they ought to be that it will be a hummer. Cass Lake is going to be represented by its Commercial Club delegates. I hope that the ‘commit- tee which has the matter in charge will so arrange the program that the situation will be fully covered from every standpoint that goes to make for northern Minnesota’s good.” of establishing a “honse of gover- nors”, ought to sell it to some forign country. Wonder how much braitis it took to think it up. A fine plan to add another department -to our present governmental system. His idea is to have all the governors of the various states meet as a "body of peers,” thus creating a new body in addition to our senate and house of representa- tives. He thinks it would save the republic. Why, that’s the ‘trouble with our republic today,—too much government. What we need is less legislation and more administration. The country is safe so long as the people have freedom of thought, speech and action. A “House of Peers” now doesn’t it sound foolish? Of course this house would have to have a head. We might name him “Lord of Peers? Quit your notion, William George Gordon and think up a new one. The way to get results and an honest and efficient government, is to center responsibility, not scatter it. !BY THE WAY. l A largé portion of the world is never so happy as when trouble gives it temporary importance. How much better off is the man who believes anything, than the one who doubts even himself? Even if you cannot make a speech, you can at least yell at the man who does. The woman who hesitates is dead. If you eat veal, do not afterwards complain if beef is scarce. The work you never did is the kind that dwells longest in memory. If you can’t be good, be a poli- tician and do others before they do you. ‘The Romance of Buried Pictures. A romantic story of a picture pur. shased at a London auction which on expert examination proved to be paint- ed over a Rembrandt worth £8,000 is curiously reminiscent of the discovery of a Correggio under similar circum- stances. A good many years ago two picture restorers, Lovera and Hunter- spergh, bought at an art sale in Rome a number of old pictures in order to provide themselves with canvases for repainting. In the division of the spoils Hunterspergh received an indif- ferent picture of flowers, on which he painted a study of a head. This pie- ture he offered to Lovera, who on close | examination found that the new ground scaled off and that underneath were traces of a figure painted in a style that denoted the hand of a mas- ter. Replacing the scales and conceal- Ing his discovery, he purchased the picture for little more than the value of the canvas. Removing the two grounds, he disclosed an exceedingly clever painting by Corregglo, which he sold to the Earl of Bristol for £1,500.~ Dundee Advertiser. The Lace Dressers. Lace dressing has been considered a necessarily unhealthful occupation on account of the intense heat required to be maintained in the room. In some cases the temperature exceeds 100 de- grees F. and much moisture is evapo- rated from the wet fabric. The evi- dence brought forth at a recent inves- tigation in England, however, shows it to be an exceedingly healthful pursuit. New workers are often temporarily up- eet at the beginning by the high tem- perature, but no cases could be found where health had broken down. On the contrary, some ailments—colds, for instance—were found less prevalent among lace dressers than among the ‘workers In other branches of the in- dustry. Time keepers’ books showed few absentes from illness. No speclal tendency toward lung diseases could be found, notwithstanding that most of the workers lived in poor and insani- tary localities and led irregular lives. Many lace dressers now enjoy vigorous old age after doing this work from childhond.—Indianapolis News, The Too Faithful Dog. A party of youpg Australians want: Ing a fish dinner filled a bottle with dynamite, attached a waterproof fuse and flung it into a pool in a creek One of them had a retrlever who had been taught to retrieve anything flung into the water, and the bottle had hardly touched the surface before Watch was after it. They yelled at him to leave it alone, but he paid ne attention and soon was swimming | shoreward with the fizzing bomb In his mouth. The young men ran for their lives, and the poor beast, think. ing it all a great joke, came galloping after. He was within twenty yards of the hindmost when there was a stunning crash. Two of the men were thrown down, though, fortunately, not badly hurt. But of the unfortunate dog hardly a trace was left—Fry’s Magazine. Unchanging Man. = Mortal man offers but little difference in spite of the diversity of race and climate, and in analyzing the Egyptian we almost find ourselves reproduced. Intellectual man also manifests a sin- gular identity of aspiration and belief ‘from the Nlle to the Ganges and from the Eurotas to the Arno.—Mercure de France. SURPRISE FOR UPPER HOUSE Purcell Succeeds Tilompson as North Dakota Senator. LATTERIS SERIOUSLY ILL Has Gone to Texas for His Health and Doubt Is Expressed by Friends That He WIll Ever Recover—Objections to Credentials of New Member Made by Mr. Burrows, but He Finally Is Sworn In. ‘Washington, Feb. 2—W. E. Purcell of Wahpeton was sworn in as a mem- ber of the United States senate from North Dakota, succeeding Fountain L. Thompson, resigned. The ceremony took place a few minutes after the sen- ate met. Mr. Purcell’s credentials as a member of the senate were present- ed by Senator McCumber, who an- nounced that Senator Thompson had resigned; that Mr. Purcell had been appointed to fill the vacancy and was present and ready to take the oath of office. For a minute or so it looked as if there might be a hitch in the weii laid plans of Governor Burke of North Da- kota to have Mr. Purcell succeed Mr. Thompson as member of the senate. SENATOR THOMPSON. Senator Burrows. of Michigan, chair- man of the committee on privileges and elections, which passes upon the qualifications of members of the sen- ate, did not like the form of the cre- dentials brought with him by Mr. Pur- cell. “These credentials are.very unusual in form,” said Senator Burrows. “They are not addressed to the senate or the presiding officer of the senate as is customary. They are addressed to the individual who has been appointed. I would like this matter to go over for a day in order that it may be looked into.” Senator McCumber admitted that the credentials were not made out in accordance with prescribed usage. “However, they announce the fact that Senator Thompson has resigned and- that Mr. Purcell has been desig- nated to take his place,” he said. “I hope the senate will overlook this slight irregularity.” Senator Burrows continued to press his point, but finally withdrew his ob- Jection and Mr. Purcell was sworn in. Il health caused Senator Thomp- son’s resignation. He left for Texas on Saturday to remain there for sev- eral months. He is in a serious condi- tion. A week or 80 ago he had hemor- rhage of the lungs. His heart has be- come weakened and his condition is one of genera! debility. Doubt is ex- pressed by frtends that he will ever Tecover. HEAD OF THE BURLINGTON Darius Miller Becomes President of Hill Road. St. Paul, Feb. 2.—Darius Miller was. elected president of the Burlington railroad at the directors’ meeting in New York city. Mr. Miller was re- cently made vice president of the com- pany, in charge of trafic and opera- tion, and his second promotion comes within about three months of the other action. The selection of Mr. Miller to suc- eeed George T. Harris has been fore- casted several times in tne press, but -was always denied by railway officials. His duties as president will begin im- mediately. Mr. Harris, the former president, was elected chairman of the board of directors and his time will be devoted to handling the financial part of the system. Howard Elliott, president of the Northern Pacific; was chosen as one of the uirectors. James J. Hill attended the meeting and it is understood that he directed the election. It is known that Mr. Miller has proved a valuable man to fhe Hill interests and he has been marked for preferment for several years. Newsboy Inherits $50,000. Baginaw, Mich.,, Feb. 2—Willlam Proskauer. twenty-one years old, a former Saginaw newsboy, has left for Germany, where he has fallen heir to an estate of $50,000. An efghteen- year-old brother, Samuel, of Cincin- uati, has been bequeathed $15,000. VALUE OF THE GOULD ESTATE Report Filed In Court Discloses the Exact Figures. New York, Feb. 2.—The examina- tion in court of the accounts of George - and Helen. Gould, receivers for their sister, Anna Gould, formerly the Countess de Castellane and now the Princess de Sagan, to settle the debts ghe inherited and incurred with her first husband, has disclosed the exact figures of the income of the Gould heirs from the fortune left by Jay g Figures brought by Special Master Berry, appointed by Federal Judge La combe, show the Gould estate to' be valued at $120,000,000. From this the annual income reached its maximum in 1903 when it aggregated $4,697,549 with a pro rata share for each of the six heirs, The income tumbled to ita minimum'in 1908 when it amounted ta only $2,851,976. ROAD -WILL ENTER DULUTH Objectionable 'Feature' of ‘Franchise Is Removed: o Duluth, Feb. 2.—It now begins to look as if the Canadian Northern road would secure ‘a franchise 'from: the city of Duluth which will be-satisfac- tory to the road. At the last council meeting the clause requiring the road to give Du- luth equal rates with Canadian . lake ports was stricken from the franchise, This point was the one on which the road’s chief objections were based. The franchise will come up for final action -next Monday night and will probably pass. It now is believed to be satisfactory to the road, in spite of the fact that it requires: the road to pay assessments for municipal im- provements, which is not required by the state laws: UPRISING IN KOREA OF SERIOUS NATURE Japan Hastening the Mobiliza- fion of Troops. Kobe; Japan, Feb. 2.—Urgent orders have been received from Tokio to hasten the mobilization of troops to be ‘used in the suppression of the lat- est Korean uprising in South Phon- gan. The situation there is far more serious than first dispatches indicated and instead of twenty Japanese hav- ing been killed in the uprising it is now believed scores have been slain and an immense amount of property. destroyed. All the government officials in the district have been murdered, accord- ing to the latest dispatches, and the government buildings burned. Thousands of armed Koreans have Joined the uprising and are killing and looting wherever resistance is met. The affected- district is intensely anti-Japanese and the leaders of the revolt are inspired with the idea that the only way to prevent the threat- ened annexation of the Hermit King- dom by Japan and the destruction of the last vestige of Korean autonomy is to begin a war against the Japa- nese and all government officials who accept Japanese dictation. Troops are being rushed to the scene and a serious conflict is immi- nent. The Koreans are fanatics and will probably be exterminated rather than yield to the Japanese. TO PROTECT POSTAL CLERKS Congressman Carey Says Government Should Furnish Steel Mail Cars. ‘Washington, Feb. 2.—To protect the lives of government postal employes on trains and prevent the loss of mail by fire Representative Carey of Wis- consin is in favor of the government buying its own steel mail cars and contracting with the -railroads for their hauling. He has introduced a bill that au- thorizes the postmaster general to pro- ceed with the work of contracting these cars, to put them in use as rapid- 1y as possible and to have all railroads tully equipped with them by 1915. PUTS MEATS ‘ON FREE LIST Bill Introduced in House by Repre- sentative Foelker. Washington, Feb. 2.—Representa- tive Otto G. Foelker (Rep., N. Y.) has introduced his bill placing beef, mut- ton, lamb, pork and ‘other meats on the free list of entry into this country for a perfod of one year-from the en- actment of the measure into law.

HUNDREDS ARE- STARVING Nearly Two:‘Hundred Thousand Peo- ple Are Homeless and Many ‘of ‘These Must Be-Given Assistance for Months—Impoverished People Re Ject Plan to Send Them to Unaf- fected: Country Districts. Paris, Feb. 2—The River Seine s falling steadily, the recession being at the rate of three-fourths of an inch an hour. The waters are also retreat- ing from the streets. More tramways ®re in operation, as are the new sec- tions of the subway. Streets that had been closed to trafic were in many. instancesre- opened and in the heart of the city things' resumed a more normal ap- Dearance. - In the outskirts and in the inun- dated regions above and below the city the greatest :distress still pre- vails, despite the magnificent efforts toward relief and the prodigal distri- bution of food supplies. Hundreds of persons are found on the verge of starvation and thousands who lost everything must be aided for months. 2 It is estimated that more than 250,- 000 persons have been affected by the floods. Freezing temperature adds to the misery of the unfortunates. An at- tempt to resume the railroad service before: the electric signal system had been restored has resulted in a dozen train collisions, Orders were issued for 300 carloads of lime. This will be spread over the city and scattered in basements. All over the city there are blazing piles of rubbish and flood refuse. Bed mattresses are a favorite item in the menu of the flames. Task Is a Gigantic One. Other signs of the gigantic cleaning up that Paris must pass through in the next two weeks are painters and scrubbers and puffing engines that are bravely trying to empty basements in sections that are now above the gen- eral spread of the water. The reaction has set in and Parisians are going at the work of rehabilitation with light hearts. There were fewer serious after ef- fects of the flood than on any day since the river began to recede. A few more sidewalks caved in and one building collapsed. Engineers made a careful examination of all the Seine ‘bridges and declared that none of them had been 'seriously damaged and all ‘were again thrown open to the public. A proposal to send thousands of the homeless to the unaffected country districts until conditions have im- proved here is not meeting with much success. The government offers to de- fray the expenses of any thus deport- ed, but the poor. themselves are those ‘who are objecting. They do not want to quit their homes for any length of time and so remain a charge on the city. There are still between 150,000 and 200,000 homeless to provide for and ‘while the work of caring for them has been systematized to an: appreciable extent over the haphazard early relief the task is taxing the authorities to the limit. IS A WARNING TO FRANCE Cardinal Gibbons Discusses Recent Disastrous Floods. New Orleans, Feb. 2—“It is de- ploréble,” declared Cardinal Gibbons, in speaking here of the French flocds. “We cannot question God’s decree, but surely this national disaster should have the effect of making the French people think of what they have done to the religious communities.” CHOKES TO DEATH ON MEAT Louisville Councilman Dies While Eat- ing Free Lunch. Louisville, Feb. 2.—Henry V. Wolff, councilman from the Eleventh ward, choked to death on a piece of meat which he was endeavoring to swallow at a free lunch counter in a saloon. A physician was hastily summoned, but the councilman died of suffocation before aid arrived. Tramp Heir to $250,000. Boston, Feb. 2. — After having tramped in poverty throughout the country for nearly a dozen years James J. Corbett was declared heir to $250,000. Judge George of the pro. bate court decided that Corbett was the missing brother and heir of Will- fam J. Corbett, a junk dealer of this city. The claims of several other per- sons were rejected. GAS KILLS MILL CITY MEN Bartender and His Nephew Found Dead in Room. ‘Minneapolis, Feb. 2.—Gust Johnson, forty-three years old, and Carl Carl- son, aged twenty-two, were found dead from gas poisoning in Johnsen’s room in this city.

Backache and many kidney ills follow; Urinary trouble, diabetes. Doan’s Kiduney Pills cure them all. Bemidji people endorse our claim. Frank Engels, 415 Minnesota Ave., Bemidji, Minn., says: “I bave no hesitation in publicly recommending Doan’s Kiduney Pills,as I am confi- dent that my testimonial will be- the means of bringing . relief to other sufferers. There was a dull ache in the small of my back for many months. My kidneys were much disordered, the secretions being unatural and at times there wasa great deal of soreness across: my loins.

Columbus, 0., Feb. 2.—Control ‘ot Ohio—and control of Ohio is the- big- gest thing In American politics today —is the prize in the fight between President Taft and Governor Harmon, which began in the open Tuesday with the reference of the pet reforms of both leaders to committees of the legis- lature. If Harmon can win his reforms it is conceded his campaign for reselec- tion may be successful. That would make him the logical candidate of his party for president. Harmon carried Ohio, though Taft won the state by about 70,000. Harmon’s chief strength in his first campaign for governor was the way he courted the farmer at the county fairs. His defeat of “Farmer Andy” Harris surprised the Republic- ans and made him a presidential possi- bility. In his first message to the leg: islature he advocated radical reforms. The Republican leaders declared that instead of blocking Harmon they would outbid him. Taft himself sup: plied Speaker Mooney with the public utilities bill, one reform feature Har- mon omitted. That omission will be Republican thunder later on. So far the Republican measures that followed the same paths as those ad- vocated by Harmon have the right of way, but the governor had the first word with his message to the legisla- ture. Rushing Away From the Earth. St. Louis, Feb. 2—Comet A 1910 has a tail forty-three degrees in length and is rushing away from the. earth, according to Father C. M. Charropin, astronomer at St. Louls university. The nucleus is diminishing in bril- liancy, he says, and the nebulous mat- ter about the necleus has contracted, but the tail has grown to am enormous length. Probably Perished in Flames. Glenwood, Wis., Feb. 2—E. F. Kim- ball is believed to have perished in a fire that consumed his farm residence four miles south of Glenwood. His wife was awakened by the fire and, after arousing her husband, she start- ed out barefooted in her night cloth- ing to alarm the neighbors. When she returned five minutes later her- hus- band could not be found and the house ‘was' ablaze. 3 Jealous Russian Kills Seven. Bt.
