A woman who is suing a railroad company for $100,000 on a glea that she was injured so that she cannot wear decollette dresses is proof posi- tive that low necks come high. Roosevelt’s sweep through Austria is described “like a Roman triumph.,’ Kings and emperors can hobnob with this American and he looms up only larger as a plain American and democrat. Really Taft, in coming before a woman’s suffrage gathering, paid the movement the highest compli- ment it ever received. Imagine Asquith or any of the English government doing it! Register of Deeds J. O. Harris came up from Bemidji Tuesday and spent the following day among his numerous Tenstrike friends. Jim looks hale and hearty. Politically speaking Mr. Harris says that he in- tends to become a candidate for re- election, and as Jim is one of the most popular officials at the court house we predict his re-election by a handsome majority. Itis well to keep a good man in office. Ten- strike Tribune. When it comes to twins—who knows a better pair than politics and printers ink? A big man at Washington not so long ago turned to a well known Washington correspondent . and said “Shall I tell you a great secret?”’ The correspondent looked impressed and asked for information eagerly. The great man whispered into the correspondent’s ear, “This country is governed by printer’s ink.” There you are. The cat is out of the bag. Now, when you stop to think of it, you can scarcely conjure up a name in the public eye which hasn’t the trade mark of printers’s ink on it. Some of those you can think of who have not heretofore been con- nected with publishing, are ;going to seize the quill and the ink roller, as soon as they can; and others who are hoping to be in the public eye are planning to get there via the inky road. As a matter of fact, the newspaper is considered the real ‘political platform of this country, and every man in this country, and every man in public affairs. knows it, and.every man in the editorial chair has, realized it by the lift that his chair has been to him in the public eye. If there. ever was a doubt about this, it has been dispelled by the last presidential campaign of the past year, and the drift of public affairs in general. Editors ran for office, ediors managed the campaigns, editors fought for reforms, editors put the ginger into the campaigns. Yes editors were very thick even among the defeated hosts in the cold gray dawn of the morning after. MR. BRYAN'S COST OF LIVING. Mr. Bryan again offers himself to the country on the platform that the increased supply of gold has sent up the cost of living, just as he said, fourteen years ago silver would do. And of course if it is gold that has increased the cost of living, then Mr. Bryan’s silver program, to which he still points with pride, would have made the increase in the cost of living just twice what it has been. The higher cost of living is so popular in this country that when Mr. Bryan runsfor the Presidency again in 1012 he ought to be able to poll millions of votes on the issue that if he had been allowed to have his way in 1896 it would not be twice as high. The chief need of man at present is a place where the fish bite. Mistakes give some lives about all the variety they ever have, ‘The most successful way to meet trouble is to give it the road and let it pass on. It is all right to praise higer cul- ture; bur the reason why Theddore Roosevelt is the idol of the Ameri- can people is because he is always ready to fight.

A physician who made a specialty of stomach troubles, particularly dyspepsia, after years of study per- fected the formula from which Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets are made. Our experience with Rexall Dys- pepsia Tablets leads us to believe them to be the greatest remedy known for the relief of acute in- digestion and chronic dyspepsia. Their ingredients are soothing and healing to the inflamed membranes of the stomach. They are rich in pepsin, one of the greatest digestive aids known to medicine. The re- lief they afford is almost immediate. Their use with persistency and regularity for a short time brings about a cessation of the pains caused by stomach disorders. Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets will in- sure healthy appetite, aid digestion and promote nutrition. As evidence of our sincere faith in Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets, we ask you to try them at our risk. If they do not give you entire satisfaction, we will return you the money you paid us for them, without question or formality. They come in three sizes, 127937 | Barker's Drug Store. ROBBER (IS A YOUNG MAN Stole Diamonds Worth Hundreds of Thousands. Moscow, April 25.—The populace is celebrating with Te Deums the recov- ery of the diamond ornaments stolen ‘Wednesday night from the image of the virgin in the Uspenski cathedral in the Kremlin and the arrest of the thief. The miscreant turned out to be an eighteen-year-old peasant lad. After stealing the ornaments, which are valued at hundreds of thousands of rubles, the boy hid under an altar in the cathedral. A cordon of soldiers has been kept about the cathedral since the crime was com- mitted and the lad, finding it impossi- ble to escape their vigilance and after suffering terrible from thirst, came out and surrendered. IF FUNDS ARE PROVIDED 8t. Paul Can Secure National Conser- vation Congress. St. Paul, April 25.—Ralph W. Whee- lock, private secretary to Governor Eberhart, has returned from Washing- ton with an option on the meeting of the National Conservation congress tucked under his arm. This option presupposes the disposi- tion on the part of St. Paul to take care of the financial side of the mat- ter. Just what the meeting would cost to arrange and carry through is unknown. The State Conservation congress, held in March, cost about $6,000. It was estimated by Mr. ‘Wheelock that the national meeting would cost twice that amount. NATURE'S WARNING Bemidji People Must Recognize and Heed it. Kidney ills come quietly—myster- iously. But nature always warns you. Notice'the kidney secretions. See if the color is unhealthy— If there are settlings and sediment, Passages frequent, scanty, painful. It's time then to use Doan’s Kidney Pills, To ward off Bright’s disease or diabetes. Doan’s have done great work in this locality. S. Joslin, Main Street, Park Rapids, Minn., says: “I never had any serious trouble from my kidneys, but at times was bothered by pains in the small of my back and a difficulty with theZkidney secretions. Being advised to try Doan’s Kidney Pills, I procured a box at the Owl Drug Co., and they helped me in a short time. From my own experience and that of other people, I know that Doan’s. Kidney Pills are a reliable kidney remedy.” For sale by all dealers. Price 50 cents. Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo, New York, sole agents for the United States. Remember the name—Doan’s— EXPULSION OF JEWS BEGINS IN RUSSIA Ton Thousand Driven From Thelr Homes In Kieff. Berlin, April 25.—Driven from their homes with barely time enough to take their poor household furnishings 10,000 Jews are being exiled from Kieff, according to a special news dispatch from the Russian city. The whole expulsion, it is said, is being carried out on direct orders from Premier Stolypin. Their crime is settling in the city without permission from the govern- ment. Five days have been allotted to city officlals to clear all nonperma- nent Jews from the city. Kieff has been divided into four sec- tioms and a high government official is in command of each quarter. Each has been assigned soldiers and police to aid in the evictions. Grave fears are felt here that the move may be the beginning of anti- Semite demonstrations throughout Russia. The government has made no provision for the exiles. AP s e BEMD‘EBN & BLLOCKER, Props.
