A St. Louis man, whose front name is Claude, is so anxious to have clean handsthat he had tattoo marks skinned off, and is now in a hospital undergoing a skin-grafting operation: And all because when he was young he went in the navy and had his hands marked up for fun while on a cruise. The Wisconsin State Journal has the foliowing to tosayabout ourstate, “Minnesota, the land of the blizzard and stalking ground of the storm window, is waking up to the necessity of having a little fresh air in the bedroom if you do not want to depart by the tuberculosis route, and the Pioneer-Press and other papers want a law to regulate people who want their houses sealed up like sardine cans.” Guess the Wisconsin people better send a delegation into Minnesota to learn something about weather conditions here. They’re way off on the blizzard idea. BEMIDJI’S GREAT MEETING. The Northern Minnesota Develop- ment meeting is now far enough in the perspective to judge it fairly, and see something of the full portent of such an assemblage as couvened there and of its results. As we look, the more the wonder grows that it was so great a success, and with this grows the credit due to : Bemidji.which originated the scheme, so satisfactorily arranged the pre- liminaries and so adequa?ely met the demands upon its hospitality and its executive ability. Ia the larzer measure, the benefits and effectiveness in results of the meeting were in the attendance. That every delegation was surprised to see the other delegations was apparent. That every county, asked to send delegates, was represented was little short of amazing. = Each man recognized the sentiment of his own community which sent him. He had hoped the same sentiment -ex- isted in other towns and counties, but this hope was only confirmed in reality when he reached the meet- ing. Then he found that this same earnest determination of the single town or county was duplicated in every part of more than a half in area of this great state. It is little wonder, then, indeed was inevitable, that surprise changed to intense gratification, this to enthusiasm and in turn came a redoubled and con- firmed zeal and earnestness. The spirit of unity, of a fighting army had possession of the organi- zation, and this again begat confi- dence. No finer nor more effective body of men ever met in this state. They were not animated by personal or individual motives, but for objects BEGS FOR A RETURN MATCH Battling Nelson Anxious to Again Face His Conqueror. fan Francisco, Feb. 24.—Battling Nelson offers $10,000-cash bonus to-Ad Wolgast, the new lightweight cham- plon of the world, for a return battle, any time, any place and under any conditions: which - the chamnion may name.

Sometimes 1mpatience is a good thing. It requires lots of nerve to live in 0 solitary a sphere as always to tell the truth. The nice people who make the acquaintance of strangers seldom have gnough to et along with, with- out borrowing. Much what might have been is, but is somewhere out of your reach. It does not require a high grade of intellect to. make a noise. Some three weeks ago the News Tribune was informed that Repre- sentative P. H.

More recent develop- ments indicate that the News Tri- bune correspondent was not so far off after all. Friends of Lindbergh declare that they do not ask for ‘easier picking” than to scatter the feathers of an Irish man in a Scandi- navian commuaity. PACKERS TO PAY . IMPOST Surrender in Tax Fight at Kansas City, Kan. Kansas City, Feb. 23.—Swift & Co., leaders in the fight of the packing companies of Kansas City, Kan, to evade the tax placed upon their fin- ished products, have abandoned the effort. Attorneys for the other com- panies are said to have advised their clients to do likewise. If all the pack- ers follow the lead of Swift & Co. $1,500,000 will be added to the prop- erty valuation of the Kansas tax rolls. The supreme court of Kansas re- cently decided that the finished prod- ucts of the packers were taxable. It is expected the other companies will make known their plans Thurs- day.

Y., Feb. 23.—Alexander Blackman, fifty years old, known as the “millionaire tramp,” was killed by a train‘near here. Blackman received monthly remittances from New York which would have enabled him to live well but ne preferred the life of a tramp.

Sold by Barker Drug Co, General Chamorro " Evades Govern- ment Forces Sent Out to Check Him and Captures Important Town—Be- lieved He Will Unite With Army of General Estrada and Make Joint At- tack on the Capital. ‘Washington, Feb, 24—Victorles of immense importance to the insurgent arms of Nicaragua are told in dis- patches being received at the state department. General ‘Chamorro, with the main division of the insurgent army, has completely “evaded the government forces sent out to check him and by a flank movement-has taken the city of Granada. The Chamorro family 1s powerful there and the capture of the city is most important. It is inferred that General Estrada, once believed to be going in the direction of Greytown, is marching to make a juncture with Chamorro and attack Managua. The losses of. the government troops have been terrific in the guerrilla warfare which has raged for the last few days. Dispatches say that after the engage- ment of the 19th scores of unburied dead lay upon the fleld. The losses of the provisional troops were light. Complete disorder. and panic are spreading through the Madriz troops and the government. All trains on the railroad east of Managua have been abandoned and the line is used only for military purposes. The situa- tion in the surrounding country is be- coming more serious for the govern- ment. The insurgents also recaptured the government steamer Victor on Lake Managua. Madriz, taking alarm at the spirit of unrest among the population, which has increased every day as Chamor- ro’s troops have been advancing, has practically declared a dictatorship over the departments of Granada, Ma- saya and Carazo and has put Julian Irias in charge with plenary powers. The appointee was - Zelaya’s prime minister. An attack of grippe is often fol lowed by a persistent cough, which to many proves a great annoyance. Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy has beeu extensively used and with good success for the relief and cure of this cough, Many cases have been cured after all other remedies had failed. Sold by Barker Drug Co, NO BURDEN TO THE STATE Senator Brown Discusses Income Tax Amendment. Washington, Feb. 24—Admitting that he had ‘“greater respect for New York in the senate than for New York out of the senate” Senator Norris Brown of Nebraska, author of the i1 come tax amendment, joined the de- bating society which is composed of Governor Hughes on the one side and some of the members of the United States senate on the other. Mr. Brown spoke in the senate on the resolution of Senator Borah direct- ing the senate committee on the judic: iary to make inquiry concerning the legal effect upon state securities of the adoption of the income tax amendment to the constitution. He devoted his efforts especially to demonstrating that the governor of New York had been wrong in his as: sumption that the amendment would have the effect of laying a burden on the states, and in showing that even if it did have that effect, it should be adopted by the various legislatures. MANY ON BOTH SIDES KILLED Turks and Bu*garians Reported in Se- rous Clash. Sofia, Bulgaria, Feb. 24—News has reached here of a serious clash. be- tween the Turkish and Bulgarian fron- tler troops in the Tamrush district, in which many on both sides were killed. No details of the fighting have been received further than that the soldiers fought with rifles and machine guns. Bulgaria has more than 40,000 troops massed in the Kostendil and Dubnitza districts and there is grave fear that they may commit some overt act that will precipitate a Turko-Bul- garian struggle before Bulgaria is ready for it The government is in- vestigating the outbreak.

STATE FENCIBLES JEERED Members of Organization Now on Duty Made the Victims of Practical Jokes of Every Description—Two Persons Dead, Three More Dying - and One Thousand Injured the Cas- ualty- List to Date. Philadelphia, Feb. 24—Two dead, three lying at the point of death in hospitals and more than & thousand persons injured is the toll exacted by the reign of lawlessness which has existed in this city for four days as the result of the efforts of the Phila- | delphia Rapid Transit company to run cars. ) The failure of the State Fencibles to intimidate the strike-sympathizers in the northeastern section of the city ‘was the basis of a conference between Governor Stuart, Adjutant -General Stewart, Brigadier General Bowmand and Mayor Reyburn. The day's de- velopments and this conference, it was said, would decide whether the en- tire national guard of Pennsylvania should be called out or whether the police authorities would be given fur- ther time in which to demonstrate .| ability to cope with the situation. It was understood that Mayor Reyburn was anxious to call upon the state troops, but Director of Public Safety Clay was opposed. The fact that the sympathetic strike was not declared by President John J. Murphy of the Central Labor union acted as a panacea to the tired police officials of the city, who were antici- pating a strike of 100,000 men. A move is on foot, however, to have the sympathizers of the strike: of the rail- way employes parade peacefully ‘to the city hall, 100,000 strong, and there- by show the mayor and other officials | c,., d the gigantic proportions of the threat- ened uprising, should -it later be de- cided to call these men out. The decision not to have this army of workers engage in the struggle at present was due to Organizer Clarence O. Pratt of the Street Carmen’s union. He pointed out to Murphy that the time was not opportune for this move. The union, leader decided to take the advice of Pratt and defer calling for such drastic action by the strike sym pathizers. % Having Fun With Militia. The placing on guard of the State Fencibles along Lehigh ayenue is.now admitted to have been a mistake. The members of this organization, which enjoys the use of a city armory,-are mostly very young men, some of them mere boys. They were placed all along the street and when the resi- dents of the great mill district of Ken- sington heard of the arrival of the young soldiers they turned out in force to greet them. Lehigh avenue was soon filled with a mob of jeering strike sympathizers and general disorder ensued that lasted for hours and was only broken up by the regular police after the mi- litiamen had been removed to their armory and a number of people had been’ wounded by revolvers. Practical jokes of every description were played upon the members ofthe Fencibles. Some were - partially stripped of their clothing and after their arms had been ‘taken from'them were chased up and-down the streets by bands of young roughs. Tin indi- cators were stuck on the ends of their bayonets and the girls cf the district: collected the brass buttons from the uniforms as souvenirs. The young soldiers were not assembled in squads, but were stationed separately, some times a square apart. - One young girl stuck a hatpin in a soldier’s back and caused him to jump and the crowd to laugh: More than 1,000 persons” have been arrested for rioting and thirty-six have already been indicted by the grand Jury” The stock of window glags here ‘suit- able for car windows has been-ex- hausted and no more broken windows can be replaced until an additional supply is. procured. -More than 2,000 windows were' broken Tuesday, run- ning’ the total smashed during the four| days of the strike to well -over 5,000 panes, LIVE HOGS SELL AT '$9.65 Market Continues to Advance at All Points.
