Mackenzie of Bemidji is the man who is seeking justice for northern Minnesota.” In this paper also appears his pro- file, under which follow these lines: “W. R. Mackenzie, chairman of the Northern Minnesota Develop- meat Association, which will meert in Bemidji next week to work for the up-building of northern Minne- sota and especially to secure a larger apportionment for this sec- tion.” Bemidji is indeed pleased to notice that the larger cities are looking forward with much in erest to this coming convention, This conven- tion is arousing more interest “throuzhout the entire state than way at first thought possible, and leads northern Minnesota en- thusiasts to believe that this is the big event of the year. There is a way for every repre- sentative and every county and city to be represented at this meet- ing. There is also a will; and where both are in evidence we are assured of a rousing convention. Reapportionment will be one of the big questions taken up by northern Minnesota workers at the coming development congress in Bemidji, Feb. 17 and 18. This gathering will be political as well as for business, and the demand for fair representation in the legislature is growing so strong that it will probably be voiced in strong reso- lutions at Bemidji. The federal census soon to be taken will emphasize the great in- equality of districts as now consti- tuted. The population figures will be ready by the time the next legis- lature is prepared to attact the sub- ject. The fight will be a hard one however, because the entire senate is elected this fall for four years, and the senators will be unwilling to legislate themselves out of office, just as they were in 1907. The southern districts which have so much the best of it on senate repre- sentation will oppose the change. They will addmit the necessity of some new basis, but will oppose any bill that cuts down their own mem- bership. If the northern districts expect to accomplish anything, their only hope is to pledge every man elected to the legislature to fight for reapportion- nent first and not fritter away votes and energies on local and personal schemes.—Tribune. jand take no other, I’BY THE WAY.! Business is business as the old saying goes and not friendship. To draw the line between the two, is, where friendship ceases and business begins. A man need not be a great painter to be an expert witha white wash brush in these stirring times. Let others tell you about your work, it sounds better. Things that have happened are never so disappointing as things that happen wrong right now. ATTEMPTS TO END HER LIFE Beautiful Virginia Girl Penniless In London. . London, Feb. 8—Florence Schenck ‘Wilson, the beautiful Virginia girl who eloped four years ago with Charles H. ‘Wilson, manager of Alfred G. Vander- bilt’s stables, attempted to commit sui- cide in a West End hotel by taking chloral. .She was saved from death only by an overdose and is not yet out of danger. She is under the care of doctors and trained-nurses, who will not permit anyone to see her and who cannot say whether she will live. She is only twenty-two years old, but she has played the game of life as few women have. Even if she lives the game for her is about over. Her husband has deserted her and she is penniless. She came to London to find him and was unsuccessful. She appealed to Alfred Vanderbilt and was repulsed. MINERS STRIKE GAS POCKET Cause of Disaster in Which Eleven Lives Were Lost. Indiana, Pa., Feb. 8.—Although ap- proaches to the mine at Ernest are now closed government experts who entered the mine Sunday are said to have found that the explosion which caused the death of eleven men was due to the striking of a gas pocket. Coroner Hammers will hold an in- quest to determine if all mining reg- ulations were observed. The ten foreigners killed in the ex- plosion were buried in St. Bernard’s Catholic cemetery. GOLDEST WEATHER FOR MANY YEARS Mercury at New York Goes Be- low the Zero Mark. [ New York, Feb. 8. —Accompanied by a blizzardlike wind the cold wave that swept down Saturday has developed into the coldest of the winter. Intense suffering is the result. The coldest recorded by the official thermometer at the weather bureau here was 1.9 degrees below zero, the lowest point reached in New York in many years. So intense was the cold and so high the wind that pedestrians were practically swept oft their feet. . The municipal lodging house and the various mission houses throughout the city housed more people than any oth- er night of the winter. The rivers and upper bay are filled with blocks of ice, causing delay in traffic. Thinly clad persons on the Lower East Side suffered terribly from the chilling blasts. According to the weather man the present cold spell came down from Alaska and Canadian territory, where, last Wednesday, the thermometer registered 60 degrees be- low zero. ) HANDICAPPED This is the Case With Many Bemidj! People. "Too many Bemidji citizens are handicapped with a bad back: The unceasing pain causes constant misery, making worka burden and stooping or lifting an impossibility. The back aches at night, preventing refreshing rest ind 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 kid- neys and cure them permanently. Can you doubt Bemidji- 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 became 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.

LOSSES BY FIRE ARE VERY HEAVY| Average $1,500,000 a Day in the United States. FRAME BUILDINGS BLAMED Loss Per Capita in This Country Eignt Times as Much as Any Country of Europe—Government Saves Half Mil- lion a Year in Insurance Premiums by Constructing Only Fireproof Structures. ‘Washington, Feb ./—Fire, stolen from heaven by Prometheus, accord- ing to ancient Greek mythology, and as a blessing brought by him to earth in a hollow reed after Beus had de- prived mankind of it, levies upon Americans each year an enormous tax calculated by the United States gov- ernment officials at $1,500,000 a day and 1,449 lives a year. As a result of an investigation just concluded by of- ficials of the United States geological survey it has been ascertained that cheaper fireproof materials can be used to advantage in construction, that three to six times the necessary amount of material is habitually used In structural work in the United States, that the building codes are laxly enforced, that the fire loss-in the United States is eight times as much per capita as in any country in Europe and that the great fire waste in the United States is due principally to the predominance of frame buildings and to defective- construction and equip- ment. Not one person in a thousand knows that the United States government owns buildings -that cost more than $300,000,000 and is spending $20,000, 000 a year for new buildings. It will learn that not one cent of insurance against loss by fire is carried on these valuable buildings. Insurance at the ordifary rate would cost more than half a million dollars a year and the government avoids this great tax by constructing buildings that are secure- ly fireproof. RESCUERS IN GREAT DANGER Efforts to Recover Bodies of Miners May Be Abandoned. Cherry, Ill, Feb. 8.—Efforts to re- cover fhe bodies of the miners who lost their lives in the St. Paul mine last November were practically aban- doned following the narrow escape from death of a crew of rescuers who were almost buried in an avalanche of . I hereby announce myself as a can- didate for Mayor, to be voted on at the election Feb. 15, next. If elected I promise to give to the city a clean business administration without special privileges. Respectfully, WM. McCUAIG. Today If you want to stop that cold right off 'and in the easiest kind of a way, just get a bottle of Dr. Bell's Pine- Tar-Honey. It's the largest selling Cold and Cough Medicine in the world because it slops coughs and colds quicker than any other known remedy or prescription, and it does.that be- cause it gets at the cause—kills the germs of cold—cuts the mucous and gets rid of it naturally. It contains no habit forming drugs— nothing harmful—only real old fash- ioned ~pine-tar, sassafras, rhubarb, honey and other beneficial ingredients —all plainly stated on the bottle. : Made by the same known scientific E. E. SUTHERLAND MEDICINE COMPANY process for the past twenty years. You ought to take Dr. Bell’s Pine- Tar-Honey just as soon as you degin to feel “coldy”—just the minute your throat begins to tickle—then you'd stave off these colds and coughs. Keep it in the house—akways ready —that’s the right way. Every time you sneeze, shiver, “spiffie” or “feel “full in the head”’ you need it. At all druggists in 25c, s0c and $1 bottles., Children take it readily. Look for our trade-mark (the bell) and Granny Metcalfes picture on every bottle. That identifies genuine Dr. Bell's Pine-Tar-Honey. Made by Y }7 falling coal and rock Wwhile trying to remove five bodies found in a passage- way south of the air shaft. Rescuers have seen many other de- composed bodies lying about, but it is problematical when the work of rescue can be resumed. The rescuers are now endangering their lives. So poisonous are the gases in the mine that the least scratch causes an ulcer- ated Sore. BITTER AGAINST THE JEWS Turks Oppose Proposed Colonization of Palestine. Constantinople, Feb. 8. —Jewish colo- nization of Palestine is beginning to alarm the Turkish government. So much more capable are the Jews than the ignorant peasantry that the latter are being crowded ‘from their homes and land and a feeling of the most in- | 'tense bitterness is developing against the invaders. It is feared that a forcible attempt is to be made to eject the Jews. In Jerusalem alone four-fifth of the pop- ulation is Jewish, banking and com- merce are in Jewish hands, more than 100 Jewish schools exist in the city and hospitals, homes and synagogues are rising up everywhere. Kaw Indians at White House. ‘Washington, Feb. 8.—Senator Cur- tiss of Kansas introduced to President Taft eight Kaw Indians. In honor of the occasion the braves were attired in gorgeous native costume. One car- ried a shining tomahawk, while an- other fanned himself vigorously with an eagle feather fan. Altogether the Indians made the gayest picture seen at the White House for some time. Withdraws Offer to Princeton. Princeton, N. J., Feb. 8—It is ru- mored here that the offer of $500,000: made by William O. Proctor, 83, of Cincinnati, for the gradute college of Princeton university, had been with- drawn by the donor. The offer was made with a proviso that an additional $500,000 be raised by May 1, 1910, and that the “prospect” site be abandoned. HINT TO AMBASSADOR HILL Presents Too Many Americans at Ger- man Court Receptions. Berlin, Feb. ,—It is said that the recent court reception, at which an unusually large number of Americans were presented to the emperor and empress, has caused considerable em- barrassment to the ambassador, Mr. Hill. It is said that the marshal has gently hinted that the number of AMBASSADOR HILL. Americans presented at court was too large. The ambassador’s reply was that he was simply obeying orders from the Taft administration at Wash- ington. An exchange of letters between the court and the embassy was brought about by the fact that the number of Americans to be presented at the last court reception exceeded the total presentations made by all other em- Dassies combined.
