Stanton, of Bemidji, who is a north country man, is very warm in advocating legislative reap- portionment, gives a reason why the legislature should be called into extra session for that purpose as well as for the good roads act. “If reapportionment goes over to the next legislature,” he says, “it will come before a senate just elected for four years, and we will sce the same situation as there was in 1907, when the senators smothered the bill because they were not willing to legislate themselves out of office. If the present legislature could act, then the new senate would be elected on the new basis and there would be no such difficul ty.”—Crookston Times. PLENTY OF GOVERNMENT LAND. Governor Eberhart calls attention to the fact that there is much Government land in Minnesota sub- ject to homestead entry. In bis proclamation calling the Conserva- tion and Agricultural Development Congress to meet in Saint Paul March 16 to 19, the governor says this Jand will be settled if the citi- zens of Minnesota will help in the state wide movement for develop- ment. Just where this lard is, is not generally known, but the Immi- gration. Commission gives these fizures in acres for the various coun- ties:—Koochiching, 367,700; Lake, 82,000; Cook, 75,000; St. Louis, 122,000; Aitkin, 1,900; Cass, 262,000; Itasca, 24,000; Kittson, 9,244; Red Lake, 3,928; Roseau, 247,000, others scattering, but making a total of 1,540,000 acres of which 1,262,955 acres have been surveyed ROOM AT THE TOP. “There is plenty of room at the top,” is an old adage which contains a great deal of truth. If you can make a better mouse-trap, or play a whistle better than your neighbor, though you may live in the heart of the trackless forest, the world will make a path to yourdoor un- solicited. The men who have thoroughly prepared themselves to grapple successfully with the problems of life, and who can readily master difficulties, are the men who. are readily sought out and placedin the highest lucrative positions in the land. There is always a great de- mand for good, careful, conscientious, able men. They never need be idle. The only way to reach the top is ta begin at the bottom, and faithfully “Money talks” is a veryold say- ing—it talks most when spent for advertising space. If you advertise in your youth, your age will take care of itself. This is apropos to the movement to pension old people. The merchant who anticipates a demand is sure a trade winoer and a money maker. Many a fortune has been missed through the habit of throwing circulars in the waste basket. FRENCH SENATORS IN DUEL Blood Actually Drawn in Encounter at Paris. Paris, Feb. 25.—Senators Millies-La- croix and Lintilhac fought a duel with swords in the Parc des Princes. At the first encounter Millies-Lacroix neatly parried a lunge by Lintilhac and ran the latter through the fore- arm. Lintilhac wished to continue, but the seconds stopped the combat. The adversaries were reconciled be- fore leaving the field. The duel was the outgrowth of a dispute among the members of the senate committee on secrecy of the ballot, of which committee M. Millies- Lacroix is president. FOR THE RELEASE OF MORSE Friends of Banker Prepared to Spend Immense Sum. New York, Feb. 25. — Personal friends of Charles W. Morse, the con- victed banker, are prepared to spend more than $1,000,000 in working for his release from the federal prison in Atlanta. John E. Donahue of Rock- land, Me., who has charge of the peti- tion for a pardon which will be. pre- sented to President Taft, made this announcement on his return from ‘Washington. The petition for pardon will, it is expected, contain more than 1,000,000 names by the time it is submitted to the president. PEOPLE WE KNOW. They are Bemidji People, and What They Say is of Local Interest. When an incident like the follow- ing occurs right here at home, it is bound to carry weight with our readers. So many strange occur- rences go the rounds of the press: are published as facts, people become skeptical. On one subject skepticism is rapidly disappearing. Ths is due to the actual experience of our citizens, and their public utterances regarding them. The doubter must doubt no more in the face of such evidence as this. The public statement of a reputable citi- zen living right at home, one whom you can see every day, leaves no ground for the skeptic to ‘'stand on. Mrs. J. E. Cahill, 817 Minnesota Avenue,- Bemidiji, Mion., says: “I never had any serious trouble from my kidneys, but a few months ago I began to suffer from pain through the small of my back, and other symptoms pointing to kidney dis- order. I bad heard so much about Doan’s Kidney Pills that I |con- cluded to give them a trial and pro- cured a box at the Owl Drug Store. I took them according to directions, was cured and bave been in good health since. I am well pleased with the results that followed the use of Doan’s Kidney Pills in my case and have no hesitation in recommending them to other sufferers'from kidney complaint.” For sale by all dealers.

STATE TROOPS ON THE SCENE Will Assist in Maintaining Order at Philadelphia. G00D RESULTS EXPECTED Arrivals Are Picked Men, Veterans of the Regular Army, and Have Seen Riot Duty in All Parts of Pennsylva- nia—Disturbed Conditions Due to Street Car Strike Having Serious Effect on Business Generally. Philadelphia, Feb. 25.—All mounted and amply equipped for any kind of service the four companies of the Pennsylvania state police, numbering 200 men, arrived here to assist the lo- cal authorities in maintaining order while the Philadelphia Rapid Transit company attempts to operate cars. The troopers are picked men, veterans of the regular army, who have seen riot duty in all parts of the state. Their presence is expected to have a salutary effect upon the lawless ele- ment that has been wrecking street cars in different sections of the city. Arriving in the railroad yards in the northern section of the city each com- pany quickly. removed horses from the train, while a curious crowd looked on. The command to mount was given and the troopers clattered along the streets to the Second Regiment armory, where headquarters have been estab- lished. The place is within easy rid- ing distance of the Kensington mill district, which is giving the police au- thorities more concern than any other section of the city. Local mounted police have already demonstrated the effectiveness of cav- alry methods as applied to suppress- ing meobs and, with the aid” of the state troopers, the police authorities expect little difficulty now in dealing with would be rioters. C. O. Pratt, national organizer of the union, and Peter Driscoll,” presi- dent of the local union, both express the opinion that the men will win the fight. The leaders base this belief, they say, on the expressions of sym- pathy manifested toward the union. Local - Business Prostrated. The strike has had a most serious effect on business generally. Mer- chants in the business sections of the city are complaining bitterly over the disturbed conditions.. One of the big department stores has laid off more than 200 employes until the strike is over, because of the curtailment of business, and other big establishments have galso reduced their working forces. The transit company appeared to have more cars in operation during the morning than at any time since the strike started. The weather was clear and cold. The cars seemed to be better patronized, which is an indi- cation that the public is beginning to get more confidence in the -ability of the compeny to run cars and the'po- lice to protect the passengers. ‘While the company is running its limited number of cars, only part filled, the steam railroads are taxed beyond the capacity of their equip- ment. Morning and evening the rail- road terminals are choked with peo- ple struggling to board trains rather than ride in the street cars.: The rail- roads have many stations within the city: limits. and have put on_ extra trains to carry people to the heart of the town. The casualties as the result of the lawlessness stands at three dead, sev- eral persons in a serious condition in hospitals and more than a thousand suffering from lacerations inflicted by bullets, police clubs and missiles. Clergymen Move for Peace. The first open move to bring about a settlement of the strike has been made. - A committee composed of clergymen of many denominations of- fered two plans to the company and the strikers. The first plan calls for a board of arbitration to be composed of two judges, two clergymen, two business men and a seventh member to be chosen by the other six. It is proposed that each side select three of the arbi- trators. If this plan does not meet with approval the clergymen suggest that a board of arbitration be agreed upon to be composed of the state rail- road commission and four other per- sons, two to be chosen by each side. A letter embodying these plans has been sent to Charles O. Kruger, presi- dent of the Philadelphia Rapid Transit company, and to C. O. Pratt, leader of the strikers. No reply to the com- munication has been received by the clergymen. From the beginning of the trouble the strikers have been willing to submit their grievances to arbitration, but the company has in- sisted that there is “nothing to arbi- trate.” Mrs. Harriman Donates $25,000. Saranac Lake, N. Y., Feb. 25.—The Adirondack cottage sanitorium, found- ed in 1885 for the treatment of tuber- culosis, has just received from Mrs. E H. Harriman a letter congratulating it upon the successful completion of its first twenty-five years of existence. In concluding the letter Mrs. Harriman noted that she enclosed “a little con- tribution for the work.” Attached was 8 check for $25,000. EIGHT DIRECTORS INDICTED Other Leaders of Milk Trust Escape on Immunity Plea. New York, Feb. 26.—The so called milk trust has been indicted. After a grand jury investigation ex- tending over a period of weeks & blanket -indictment was handed down in the criminal court naming eight of soventeen directors of the Consolidat- ed Milk Exchange,-a New Jersey cor- poration, and charging that they met June 29, 1909, in New York and “con- et S el spired together and with others to fix ‘| the wholesale price of milk and did fix it at $1.41 for a forty-quart can of milk.” One year in prison and a fine of not more than $5,000, or both, is the penalty for each offense, which is a misdemeanor, Nine other directors “of the ex- change escaped indictment, having earned immunity by testifying before the grand jury and before the state inquiry into the milk trade, which is still in progress. CAUSES ALARM IN ENGLAND China's Action In Tibet Worrying Brlt ish Statesmen. London, Feb. 25—The “yellow peril,” feared by many English states- men as the result of the determination of China to make her control of Tibet absolute instead of nominal,- will be made the subject of an early debate in the house of commons. Despite Lord Minto’s refusal to in: terfere in Tibet, in-an effort to check the operations of the thousands of Chinese troops tkat now hold - the Tibetan capital, several members of parliament declared they would insist aon- the government demanding: from China a full explanation of her.inten- tions. There- is: the strongest suspicion that China’s move is the inauguration of her advance to the ‘west. As Tibet lies immediately to the morth of Brit ish India the awakening of the “for- bidden country” is depiored by Eng- land. GRAIN AND PROVISION PRICES Minneapolis Wheat.

The post mortem statistics of the big New York hospitals show that some cases'of consumption are due, at least indirectly, to unchecked dyspepsia especially when ' the vic- tim was predisposed to tuberculosis. Dyspepsia wears out the body and brain. The ' weakened, . irritable stomach being unable to digest food, the body does not: receive the re- quired nourishment, and the ‘vic- tim becomes thin, weak and haggard. As a result the body becomes a fer- tile field in .which the germs of disease may lodge and flourish. Therefore the person who permits dyspepsia to progress unhindered is guilty of contributing ‘toward the development of one of the most insidious-and fatal diseases known to mankind. Dyspepsia may be completely eradicated if properly treated. We sell a remedy that ~we positively guarantee will completely relieve indigestion or dyspepsia, or the medicine used during the trial will cost the user nothing. This remedy has been named Rexall Dyspepsia - Tablets. Cer- tainly no offer could be more fair, and our offer should be proof posi» tive that Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets are a dependable remedy. Inasmuch as the medicine will| cost you nothing if it does not bene- fit you, we urge you who are suffer- ing with indigestion or. dyspepsia to try Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets. A 25-cent box contains enough medi- cine for fifteen days’ treatment, For chronic cases we have two larger sizes, 50 cents and $1.00. Remember you can obtain’ Rexall store,—The Renll Store.
