Nice ripe field for the county optionists, A Chinese laundryman of Man- kato bas won Miss Louise Lane, a white girl, for a wife. Edward Hatchett, a full-flooded Sioux, was married Wednesday to Miss Mable Wilcox, a white Nebraska girl. We are in receipt of a little book- let from Bagley which tells what a fine county is Clearwater. The booklet is full of valuable information and is well printed. The name of the publisher does not appear. Who- ever he is, he hasour congratulations. Duluth citizens went to the depot last night to give the St. Paul jobbers a rousing reception. But the train was four hours late and did not get in until midnight. We just want to remark that they were so anxious to reach Bemidji that the special came in twenty minutes ahead of time. Oklahoma is having quite a fight over the location of a capitol. Re- cently a vote was taken on a capitol location bill. Governor Haskell declared that Oklohoma City had won by 33,000, but some of the Guthrie people protested and the matter is still in the air. The governor had the courage of his convictions, however, and moved the state officials to Oklahoma City. i. C. Kiley, of the Grand Rapids Herald-Review, takes a slap at the Pioneer for publishing the fact that Attorney General Wickersham was to give the commencement address here. In the same column, it praises the speech given in Grand Rapids by the the Wickersham who did come here. He spoke on “Day Dreams” when he addressed our graduates and his speech was far from “worthy of a place in the library.” A circus train was derailed in Pennsylvania and the country was immedjately terrorized because two liors, an elephant, an ibex and.a| jaguar were at large. Witness how. the “wild animals” were captured, The elephant was found at a nearby creek spraying water over himself. The two lions were found rolling in a bed of catnip, were easily roped and carried back to their cages in farm wagons. The ibex was found by a farmer boy trying to break into his father’s barn. A rope was fastened to its long horn and it was led back to the circus. The jaguar was the only bad beast. It'had to be choked into submission. In three years, the number of newspapers in Minnesotashas shown a net decrease of 100. That wmeans that one sixth-of the papers of our state have had to cease publication because they could not be made pay- ing propositions. During the past few years, newspapcrs have found their pay rolls'increasing from fifty to one hundred per cent, while prices charged for advertising have re- mained practically the same. Prices on the Pioneer should be advanced at least one-third to yield as much profit on a given amount of busi- ness as whenwe first:started publish- ing.* And this is true on all the small dailies in the .state. Instead of doing this, the weaker. papers, :all doing a public work in . their com- munities, have been allowed to go out. of business. Albert Kaiser, the candidate. for the state treasurership, seems to have the support of the Ninth dis- trict now that the conventions are The fight for the republican nomination has narrowed down to five candidates; Kaiser of Bagley, Smith of Eveleth, Carl of Clara City, Hanscom of Foley, and Schwarg of Dodge Center. The St. Paul Dispatch said yes. over. terday: "Mr. Kaiser is probably the better known of the five candidates and he will have the support from the “ins” that should prove valuable to him in the con- vention.” Kaiser’s strength was materially increased yesterday by action of the Winona county convention. This is his old home county and is stand- ing by him now. He will also get votes from other counties in the First district and is looking for some from the Fourth. If Mr. Kaiser gets the republican nomination, and we feel confident that he will, the . voters of upper Minnesota can feel proud of their candidate. His banking experience makes him well qualified to handle the state’s money, and his honesty and integrity will give confidence in his administration: Upper Minne- sota must stand togetber to.get him nominated and then elect him. SIMMONS AND THE PIN. A Study in False Eqouomy, One day Simmons saw a pin and remembered the old adage, “See.a pin, pick it up, and all day long you’ll have good luck.” He stooped to get the pin; his hat tumbled off and rolled into the gutter; his eyeglasses fell on the pavement and broke; his suspenders gave way behind; he burst the buttonhole on the back of his shirt and nearly lost his false teeth. But he got the pin. Some people who try to economize on their advertising expenditure find it about as profitable as Simnons’ lucky (?) pin. They save a few dollars to the business-zetting power of their advertising literature. New Use For Wheelbarrows. Mrs. Zelia Nuttall, the archaéologist, was making some excavations in Mex- fco. The Indians were removing the earth some distance from the point.of excavation in the customary manner— that s, on a plece of coarse cloth' tied between two poles, stretcher fashien, carried by two Indians. This method: seemed rather laborious to Mrs. Nut- tall, so she ordered several iron wheel- barrows from the city. When they arrived she turned'them over to the foreman ‘after explaining to him what they were for and how to use them. Next day when she visited the work the Indians had discarded their primi- tive parihuelas and were using the bright new wheelbarrows. As each barrow was filled with earth it was picked up by two Indians, one using the handles and the other the wheel, and carried to the place where the earth was to be deposited. All efforts to get the Indians to use the -wheel- barrows properly failed, and they kept on carrying them untll the work was finished. Alphabet of the Playhouse. “We keep learning things all the time,” sald an Infrequent theater goer. “I stopped ‘in front of a theater the other day to buy aticket:of a specu- lator, and I asked him if he had a good single near the front. 4 “‘Here's one in O/ -he ®ald, ‘thir- teenth. row, third seat from.the aisle.’ “Now, you know, I don’t carry the relative positions of the letters of the alphabet in my mind all ‘the time. I have to work for . a liviog and have other things te think of. But it struck me that O must be farther down the line than:thirteen, and 8o I Just count- ed up the letters on my finger tips, and 1 made O come fifteenth, and I sald so to'the ‘ticket'man, but that-didn’t wor- ry him any. “‘There’s .no A in this theater,’ he said, ‘and there’s no I in any orches- tra in town.’ . “And, having my fingertip figuring thus handily knocked out, 1 bought the ticket.”—Washington Post.

Railroad Bill, MINORITY WAS IGNORED Declares This Has Been the First Time In Dealing-With Such a Meas- ure That Democrats Were Denled Representation in Conference—Pre- dicts Trouble Will Follow the Crea- tion:of a Commerce Court, ‘Washington, June 18.—The last day of the railroad bill in the senate opened with a severe arraignment of the conference report on it from Sen- ator Newlands of Nevada, one of the minority ‘conferees. Denouncing the methods of the con- ferees, Mr. Newlands said this had ‘been the first time in the considera- tion of ‘a railroad measure in which the minority had been denied repre- sentation in conference. He protested ‘that such 2 eamvse involved “disregard of all the functions that pertained to free and full conference and for the rights of the minority.” Mr. ‘Newlands criticised the com- merce court provision, saying that it ‘was “sure to supplant the interstate commerce commission in many of its tmportant functions. BExplaining that the conference had accepted the house long and short haul provision the Nevada senator ex- pressed apprehension that the pro- posed law would ‘be found to be un- constitutional because of its delega- tion of action. He predicted also that the intermediate points would fail to obtain from the provision the relief they ‘were counting upon. Mr. Elkins ‘defended the action of the conferees by saying that in failing to vote for'the senate bill the Demo- cratic members ‘had forced the bill'in- to conference. Attention was called to the fact that 166 Republican members had voted against-the senate amendments and in addition ‘Mr. Blkins was called to or- der for bringing the house into'the dis- cussion contrary to parliamentry us- age. He asserted that there had been no partisan action. Mr. Elkins not only admitted that be had consulted the presitdent and the -attorney “general, but defended that plan of proceeding in view of the fact that:the-executive branch of the government is a part of the lawmak- ing power of the country. a'good life, but let thy | It cured me,” or ¢It saved the life.ot my child”, are the express- ions you hear every day about Chambertain’s Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy. -This is true the world.over where this valuable remedy has been introduced.

GETS AFTER HOUSE LEADZRS President ‘Anxious:for ‘Statehood Leg- islation. . ‘Washington, June 18.—President | Taft continues to “lay down” on the house leaders with a view'to getting them to.accept the senate statehood bill, which:passed that body Thursday. Among those who were consulted by the president were Speaker Canmon and Representatives Hamilton, Dwight and ‘Tawney. It is the belief of the president that if the house will con- cur’in the amendment of the senate | there will be legislation at this ses- sion, but thatif the bill goes to con- ference: the opponents of the legislia- tion will make trouble and probably prevent :action. It is understood that Chairman-Hamilton of the house com- mittee on territories has.assured the president of his desire to assist the administration to carry out the Repub- lcan platform promise for statehood.

Mark Twain said: Once when I was golng -out to visit some friends I told George, wy negro servant, to lock the [ house.and put the key under a certain stone near the steps. He agreed to do.so. It was late at night when I re- turned. I went to the stone under which the key was supposed to have been hidden. It was gone. I hunted around. for about fifteen minutes, but still no key. Finally I went to George's house—he roomed outside— land rapped vigorously upon the door. A black head, which I had no dif- ficulty in recognizing as George's, pop- ped out of an upstairs window. “Where did you put that key, you | black rascal?’ I roared. “Oh, massa,” answered George, “I found a better place for it!” The Cost For Repal “Why did you sell your autx “Cost too much for repairs.” “Wasn’t it a-good machine?” “First rate.

London News, The Lotus Eaters. The race of people to whom the name “Lotus Eaters” was applied was a Lyblan tribe. known to the Greeks as early as the time of Homer.
