A Chicago woman wants $250,000 from another woman for stealing her husband. Evidently the old man is worth something besides building fires in the morning. Some wretch, with a grudge against the world, has started the theory that laughing songs are a sure preventative of consumption. They might tempt a few people to commit suicide and thus escape tuberculosis. Rev. R. A. Hafer of Jersey City, has written a letter of registration, in which he tells his congregation that baldness compels him to resign. To wear his hat in the pulpit would be “bad form,” and to preach bare- headed would give him cold. Per- haps if he would warm up his remarks he might escape the latter. In declaring that he would not sign any bill to restrict immigration aimed especially at the Jews until after the fullest investigation, Presi- dent Taft declared that he became convinced in his journeyings over the country, and especially by his visits to New York’s East side, that in no class of foreign-born citizens did “the real, true spirit of patriot- ism prevail more deeply” than among the Jews. He might have added thatas a class no kind of citizens give more to purely charit- able enterprises. l BY THE WAY I As a general proposition, itis a bad'thing to put off having fun. If you cannot ridicule an oppon- ent give him rope enough and he will tie himself in a knot. The world never has proper respect for those who contribute to its amusement. —— ON TO CROOKSTON. THE OFFICIAL announcement is out for the Crookston meeting June 1, 2 and 3 of the Northern Minnesota Development association. “On to Crooks- ton” is the rally which will be heeded by everyone of the thirty counties in- cluded in this association of boosters of this garden land of the world. The News Tribune can assure Crookston that St. Louse county will be there with the biggest aggregation of enthusiasts ever let loose in the state. They will be known by their faith in Northern Minnesota, their loyalty to it and their readiness for a fight, fun or frolic in its behalf. The need of a strong and numerous delegation to this meeting was in- sisted upon at the recent session of the County club at Biwabik. It was dis- cussed and the preliminary arrangements were made. The range cities were as alive to its importance as was Duluth, We believe more than one sleeper will be filled from this county. There may be two cars filled and arrangements will be made to keep these during three days to add to the hotel capacity of our host city. St. Louis county had a taste at Bemidji and it was so good and wholesome that it wants to be in at this second feast. The News Tribune believes this will be the most important meeting ever held in the state. It considers it vital to the interests of Northern Minnesota. Nor has any part as much to gain from it as has the city of Duluth. All these thirty counties with their half million people are looking to this city as their friend ally. They must not be disappointed. They are just finding out that St. Louis county is a good fellow and a good fighter, that it is dependable and fair. Again they must not be disappointed. As for Duluth it wants nothing and asks for nothing but their friendship and a shance to help in the development of all this territory est to the Red River, and it does not begrudge a pound of prosperity that goes to any place or section. cumulation that comes to all. It will take its chance on getting its share out of the general ac- This is the greatest, the most wholesome and the most farreaching devel- opment movement ever undertaken by any section of our great country. No sign is better, no undertaking is more invigorating, no movement is more healthful than when a great body of citizens, including the half of a great state, get together to help themselves, without a thought or slightest purpose of hurting or hindering any other. Northern Minnesota only wants what is fair and just. It wants and will take nothing that belongs to any other. cently, with the whole state to boost every part. It will gladly join, as it proved re- But at Crookston its own affairs will come first and there will be there the greatest get-together, hold- fast and fight-hard aggregation the west or east has ever seen.—Duluth News Tribune. —_— JAMES M.

D, April 27.—Governor Burke for the vice presidential nomi- nation on the national Democratic tloket 18 sald to be a plan launched by the Democrats of North Dakota, ‘The governor recently visited Minnesota on two occasions and made an ad- dress each time. His friends insist that was the beginning of the move- ment in his interest and that the Democrats of both Dakotas, Minneso- ta and Iowa are practically lined up. The movement is based on the theory that the Nebraskan will be overlooked as a candidate and that Mayor Gaynor of New York or some other Easterner will be selected to head the ticket.

Inquiries among those responsible for its status In that body develop the fact that action of any sort upon the bill is unlikely until after all other ad- ministration measures, including rail- road, anti-injunction and conservation, have been put through the house. It is proposed now to call a Repub- lican caucus at an early date to con- sider the anti-injunction bill, which is also in a bad situation. GRAIN AND PROVISION PRICES Minneapolis Wheat.

In our opinion, most people suffering from general debility have catarrh. Such cases of debility cannot be com- pletely cured by medicine not de- signed to eradicate catarrh. In every case where our remedy fails to give entire satisfaction we will not charge a cent for the medicine employed during the trial. Now, surely no one should hesitate to be- lieve us or to put our claim to a practical test under such conditions. We will take all the risk; no one else can lose anything by the trans- action. We make these statements and this offer because we know and have time and again proved that Rexal Mucu-Tone rarely fails to do as we claim. It is nota cureall prescribed to cure every disease that flesh is heir to. It is. intended for one purpose, i. e., to cure catarrh by assailing the diseased condition in a reasonable, scientific way, which is to employ agents that have been found to have the tonic and altera- tive power to correct faulty metabol- ism (tissue change)and to stimulate and help nature overcome the cause or causes of catarrh. This being done, appetite increases, nutrition improves, weight is gained, comfort of body is attained and life work taken up with the zest natural to the the perfectly healthy individual. We want you to try Rexall Mucu- Tone. Follow directions and take it regularly and consistently fora reasonable length of time. Then, if you are not satisfied, come back and tell us and the money you paid for the treatment will be returned without any argument whatever. Rexall Mucu-Tone comes in two sizes, 50c. and $1.00 a bottle. Sold only at our store,—The Rexall Store, Barker’s Drug Store. Number of Mines Resume.
