Beltrami county has a striking opportunity to assert its adherence to this wise declaration. Judge C. M. Stantion, who has “made good” as judge of the dis- trict court of this judicial district, and who is so big a man that he had to fight to keep from being named a candidate for governor by a great political party, has won . and will receive the support of fair minded citizens. Minnesota barbers are to hold their convention in St. Paul next week. It will be difficult to avoid cutting remarks. Despite the fact that he resembles Gov. Folk of Missouri, Hiram John- son, nominated as a republican candidate for governor of California, expects to be elected. Itis expected that the first of postal savings banks will be open about the first of November and shortley after that time the system should be in working order through- out the country. The recovery of Mayor Gayner emphasizes the triumph of the modern surgeon. The wounds of the New Vork executive are not, in effect unlike those from which President Garfield died. G. L. Hanson of Red Lake Falls filed for the senate in the Sixty-first district. A. L. Hanson of Ada, the present senator is already a candi- date, and the similarlty of names is likely to confuse some of the voters. Mr. Schmahl asked the attorney general about the matter, but Mr. Simpson said there was nothing to do but let the names go on the ticket as they were filed. Albert Berg of Spooner is the third candi- date for the Republican nomination, It is pretty much of an open secret, in St. Paul at least, that the dove of peace hasn’t found any place to perch in the Conservation Congress headquarters. The reason for this can readily be seen by anyone who takes the trouble to glance over the official program of speakers which contains the name of men of such widely diversant views that it is morsel for national gossip. For instance, it is not likely that Mr. Pinchot clapped his hands for joy when he learned that Senator Nelson, chairman of the Ballinger-Pinchot investigating com- mittee, was to make an address. The half has not been told about the Conservation congress. HAS A CHINESE PUZZLE BEAT. The residents of Beltrami county are watching with interest the legis- lative fight in Polk County and especially the contest between candi- dates for the state senate. Like Senator A. D. Stephens who has accomplished so much for Polk County and the entire northern portion of thelstate, it is difficult to figure out what possible excuse there could be for a contest in connection with the senatorship from Polk. Senator Stephens is recognized not only as one of the leaders in the state senate, but as one who has been the friend of the farmer throughout his legislative career. His judgement is sound, and he is fair minded. The School of Agriculture alone is 2 monument to his energy, and his work in that connection has earned for him the gratitude of this part of the state. Why Polk county should jeopardize the commanding influence it now hasin the senate is a mystery to anoutsider. Any movement to defeat him doesn’t seem likely to be fathered by anyone having the best interests of Polk County at heart, and the balance of the Northern Minnesota Counties certainly want to see Senator Stephens returned with a rousing endorsement at the primary election on Sept. 20. THE BELTRAMI COUNTY FAIR. *“The fair that pays up.” This is the one thing which stands out prominently in connect- ion with the Beltrami county fair. . Horsemen and exhibutors realize this and for that reason the Bel- trami fair can obtain the choicest entries, “The only trouble,” says Secretary W. R, Mackenzie, ‘is to satisfy those who cannot be ac- commodated owing to lack of room” Our’s is the biggest county fair, in the best county of Minnesota. it has one of the best half mile tracks in the state, good horse barns, a splendid grand stand and a first class base ball diamond. There will not bea dull mo- ment while the fair is in progress, races and amusements affording entertainment for everybody all of the time. A special effort is being made this year to satisfy those who want the fair to take on a more carnival like appearance. In addition to the free attractions the secretary has already booked, letters are coming in daily from show men asking for reservations, The premium lists have long been in the hands of intending exhibitors, Posters and placards kave been freely distributed and the county, city and country is anx- iously waiting the opening day. Itis urged that anyone having anything of value, be it laces, em- broidery, pictures, drawn work or fancy sewing, enter it. It is these little exhibits that tend to make the fair a success, and for that reason we want the people to take an interest and en- ter what they have” said Mr, Mackenzie. All attendance records probably will be smashed, and this must take place to assure against a deficit, Premium lists can be had by writing the Secretary, or at the First and Northern National banks or the Pioneer office. BY THE WAY If you can’t be an ideal man, you can at least be glad of it. * Nothing known will prevent the Matrimonial car from skidding. Was there ever a man whom was satisfied with the furnishing of his own home? . A woman'’s disposition is as un- certain as a weather prediction, Of the county offices perhaps the office that most vitally effects the taxpayer is that of County Auditor. Itis in that office that the taxes are spread, and the vast amount of business that effects the financies of the County, are con- ducted, In ditch matters the Audi- tor has the letting of the contracts for the completion of all Judicial | ditches, this within itself is a great responsibility and calls for great care, judgment and honesty. Of the numerous candidates that have filed for the office two have been tried as to their ability and two have held the office. We have no ;doubt but that any one of the candidates might make good and conscientious officers and yet it does not seen that, with Beltrami county struggling unde? the debt of nearly $333,000; and with taxes up to a point where they are almost oppressive, that the voters can hardly afford to experiment. The present Auditor has been in the office less than a year and yet he has made good. From al reports the office is in first class condition and all business 1s be- ing conducted in a very satisfac- tory manner, The day has come when men should be placed in office, not be- cause they are “Good fellows” or that they belong to some organiza- tion or society, but te:ause they have an ability to conduct the office, to which they are elected, in the best interests of the county therefore bhave no hesitancyin urging the voters of Beltrami county to cast their votes at the primaries on September 20 for R. C. Hayner, our present and efficient Auditor. Mr. Gladstone’s Catch. “How many members of this house,” asked Mr. Gladstone once in the course of a debate on electoral qualifications, ‘“can divide £1,330 17s. 6d. by £2 13s. 84.?” “Six hundred and fifty-eight,” shout- ed one member. *The thing cannot be done,” exclaimn- ed another. A roar of laughter greeted this last remark. But it was true nevertheless. You canunot multiply or divide wmoney by money. You may repeat a smaller sum of money as many times as it is contained in a larger sum of money, but that is a very different thing. If you repeat 5 shillings as often as there are hairs in a horse’s tail you do:not multiply 5 shillings by a horse's tail. Perhaps you did not know this before. Never mind: you need not be ashamed of your ignorance, for it was shared, as has been demonstrated, by the :en- tire house of commons (bar one mem- ber), including the then chancellor of the exchequer. Hunter and Hunted. A nearsighted sportsman strolled into a little hotel on the shores of Loch Carron and complainingly said, “Just seen a seal, shot at it three times and missed it each time.” At dinner an hour later he sat next to a tourist who had a bandage round his head. ol “Had an accident?” asked the sports. man. “Accident!” growled the other. “At- tempted murder, you mean. 1 was having a bath about an hour ago when some lunatic with a gun fired at me three times from the shore and shot part of my ear off. I don’t know why such animals are allowed out without a license.” Then silence reigned supreme.—Lon- don Telegraph, : The Turkish Soldier’s Fatalism, The lethargy of mind which is the mental habit. of the Turkish soldier— the personal expression of fatalism—is a most valuable quality in its way, for it means that its possessor is always cool and collected. grumbles little and bas marvelous éndurance. It is alien to all forms of panic, just as it is dalien to a conspicuous elan. If the Turkish soldier never goes very fast, he never goes very slow. Except by the best trained or most ‘dashing troops he is bad to beat.—London Spectator. eA4 Man’s Word Mr. London writes: “If I owned your Tea, I would guarantee a ‘cure or refund their money. I say it’s Nature cure and the only one for the blood.” Hollister’s Rocky Mountain Tea cured him where other remedies failed. Try it with yourself. E. N, French & Co. Saving Good Men From the Drink Habit Restoring Them To The Home, Family and Business World. In a few lines to Senator James E. Bruce, Atlantic, Iowa, a patient writes: “I cannot say too much or enough for the Neal Three Day Drink | Habit Cure. - It will save any drinker to his family and business world. May success be yours in every way. e ] The Neal is an internal treat- ment, given in 30 drop doses, with- out hypodermic injections, that cures the drink habit in three days, at the institute or in the heme.

A series of Revolutlonary scenes were given in a London theater some months after the close of that memo- rable war. On the one side was the English army in full red coated umi- form, ‘with every button in its exact place. Opposite them was the Ameri- can army, composed, as the theater bili stated, of “artisans, cobblers and tink- ers,” arrayed in their working dress, with buttons of every size and hue. When the curtain dropped, Captain Bartlett of Plymouth, Mass., the cap- tain of a ship then in port, stood up in bis seat in the pit and. in a voice as it given from a quarterdeck in a squall. called, “Three cheers for the artisans, cobblers and rinkers who were ton much for King George and his red- coats.”” and. with a wave of his hat, he gave these with a will. For a short time there was silence in the theater, followed by an enthusiastic John Bull appreciative cheer for the pluck and assurance ‘of the Yankee captain, who became the lion of the city, receiving invitations to clubs and free tickets to theatrical and other entertainments while he remained in port. Just a Little Too Smart. A scrubwoman in a Puaris theater found a mugnificent diamond stom- acher in a box in sweeping up. The honest old soul determined to restore the stomacher to its owner, and the owner, of course, wasn’t long in turn- ing up. a young woman splendidly dressed and on the verge of hysteria “Ob, have you found my stomacher?" she cried. "It is a chef d'oeuvre of Lalique of the Place Vendome.” *“Calm yourself, madame,” said the scrubwo man. “Here is your stomacher.”” And she produced it from her pocket. The other 1ok out a tifty dollar bill, press ed it on the honest scrubwoman and departed with her stomacher hurried ly. But an hour later another lady called. “Have you found my stom- acher?” she asked, smiling. *I think 1 left it in° my box.” “Why, yes, ma- dame, but if it was your stomacher,” said the scrubwoman, “a thief has got it. She got it this morning. She gave me $50 reward.” “Why, the stomacher was imitation,” the lady said. “It only cost $5. Your thief is $45 out.” One of the Natives. A gentleman was once showing a countryman round a zoo, when they came to a cage containing a kanga- 0. “What is that?" irquired the coun- tryman. *Oh,"” replied the gentleman, “that is a native of Australia!™ Immediately the countryman threw up his arms in borror, exclaiming. “Goodness gracious, my sister married one of them!"—London Telegraph. Expanding. The Old Friend—I understand that your practice Is getting bigger. The Young Doctor—That's true. My patient has gained nearly two pounds in the last month. Getting Desperate. Bome of the office buildings in the large citles are constructed apparently with the idea that every possible square foot of space must be utilized for renting purposes. The corridors are nafrow, the passageways to the elevator shafts hard to tind and the stairways located in obscure corners. There may be fire escapes, but they are equally obscure, and a stranger would wot know where to look for them. The occupants of a room on the sev- enth floor of a building of this kind, devoted to the uses of a fire and life insurance companies’ agent, were sur prised one day by the sudden entrance of a wild eyed man who seemed to be | laboring under stroug excitement. “Say.,” gasped the intruder, *“will some of you feilows please throw me out of this building!” | “What for?” asked one of the clerks. “I've beeu trying for tifteen minutes to find a way out of it, and. I can't.” They did uvot throw him out, but piloted him to the elevators, and he succeeded at last in making his es- cape.—Exchange. Nearly a School Scandal. What might have been a terrible sen- sation, calling for public investigation and much newspaperiety, wus averted by the visit of a shockéd mamma to one of our public primary schools. A friend of the mother was calling at the house and asked the little daughwr.! “How do you like your teacher?” “Oh, my teacher is nice.” answered Tot, *‘but she is always asking us for a cigarette.” “What?’ cried the ludy uand the wamma in horrified tones, seeing con- tamination of the morals of Tot under the teachings of a modern bachelor of the feminine gender. “Yes, mamma. She says, ‘Clgarette, cigarette.” The pext day wamma visited the school. As she entered the class room the teacher was calling first to one child and then to another, “Sit erect, sit erect!” while Tot flashed a glance itelligence and “Didn’t 1 tell you at her mother.—Wasp. It 1s a Wise Child. An officiul of the immigration bureau at Ellis islund told a story of a wise ! little immigrant child. “A little girl came over in the steer. age in search of her father, whose pname she gave us. We sent for the man, aud he came and looked at her. *‘I can’t tell whether this is Mary or not,” suid he. ‘I haven’t seen Mary since she was a baby about three months old. How can 1 tell, then, whether this is Mary or not? “It was a question we couldn’t an- swer, so we looked from him to the child and from the child back to him,’ remaining silent. “Finally, when we were all at our wits’ end, he looked earnestly at the child and said plaintively, ‘Am 1 your father? *“And the wise little child answered quickly, *Yes, you are.’ “And so we made her over to him.” —New York Press. “Hang on Tight” When a smoking car with thirty-five passengers jumped the track, a rail- road engineer in the car, off duty, yell- ed to the passengers to ‘*“hang on tight.,” and while the car turned over no one was hurt. “Hang on tight” 1s good advice in most upsets. The man who hangs on tight to himself when his temper is upset will get through without hurting either himself or others. The man who “hangs on tight” to his earnings ends with a competence. The man who *“hangs on tight” to his place when business upsets come generally holds down his job. The man who “hangs on tight” when discouragement or even disaster upsets others is a man to be hopeful about, because he will keep right side up whatever else turns over.—Philadelphia Press. Saved by a Dream. *‘Hints conveyed by dreams are oc- casionally worth heeding,” says the London Chronicle. “The late Lord Dufferin when in Paris dreamed that he was in a hearse on the way to the cemetery. A few days later, as he was about to enter the elevator of a cer- tain hotel, he was startled to find that the attendant was a double of the driver of the hearse in his dream. He thereupon promptly left the elevator and walked upstairs. The car ascend- ed without him, but as it neared the top something in the mechanism gave way, and the passengers met their death. Had they also, one wonders, been forewarned in a dream?” New-Cash-Want-Rate ',-0ent-a-Word Where cash accompanies copy we will publish all “Want Ads" for half- cent a word per insertion.
