Might as well include the name of John Dietz of Cameron Dam in the list of winners. We have reliable information to the effect that neither Mr. Sero nor Mr. Dav’s voted yesterday. The sad part of it is that under the present statutes it is impossible for more than one candidate to win, It is one thing to be nominated but quite another to win the second time, when winning counts the most. But Beltrami county isn’t the only place where men are going around today with that green persimmon taste in their mouth. Minneapolis is to have pay-as-you- enter street cars but whether they are to replace the swear-as-you-leave ones, the dispatch doesn’t say.

The fight has been made and the people have said whom they would have as candidates for the various offices. ; Candidates are human and when stirred by the passions of a cam- paign are sometimes apt to. say things which when the smoke of the battle has cleared away they regret. In Beltrami county the nomina lant to election, but wherever there is a contest the defeated officer- seeker owes it to the party under the banner of which he sought ser- vice,toaid as best hecan,in electing tue persons selected at the pri- maries. THINK IT OVER. The Daily Pioneer gives to its readers this afternoon as complete a report of the results of the primary election throughout Minnesota yes- terday as could be assembled from necessarily lincomplete returns. In our eftort to give the news to our readers every source of infor- mation has been exhausted and tele- graph and telephone tolls have had no consideration. Our regular wire service has been augmented until the latest word from every quarter—county, district and state is flashed to us for your benefit. If it is not in the Daily Pioneer it isn’t printed anywhere. Don’t you think that quite an achievement for a daily newspaper in a town the size of Bemidji? NATURE’S TRIUMPHS. Yielding to the magic of the early frosts, the autumn foliage of the northern woods has taken on all the gorgeousness of nature’s most elaborate display. Artists strive in vain for the picture daily mirrored in the amethyst waters of lake Bemidji;a fringe of waving fire in the crisp clear air of early morning or the fairy minglings of fantastic colors in the moons mel- low light. The death of the leaves, the flowers and the grasses is signalized by a splendor nowhere more gaudy than among the vine wrapped trees of a dozen kinds in our own pine forests. The oaks coppered and golden or glowing red mingle their glory with the pale yellow and scarletof the swaying martles and all harmonizing in a blaze of color which enthralls the person who Jooks upon nature’s triumphs. Well, if you don't Lelieve it take a hike along the lake shore and see for yourself. COMMUNICATIONS. Letters to the editor of not more than 200 words on topics of interest are solicited.

It has been the practice of certain pat- ent medicine concerns to every so often flood the country with samples of their preparations, which in many instances contain strong narcotics and other poisons, or undesirable ingredients. During the past week there has been generous distributions of these alleged medicines in Bemidji. They are thrown about and there is nothing to keep small children from gathering them up and eat- ing them. Children have been made deathly sick from having obtained these nostrums, and it need not be surprising if deaths resultd from this reckless practice of the medicine houses. There has lately been a great cry against “baby killers” in the form of children’s remedies put up in patent medicine form. The evil I speak of, appears to me to be cough syrups with their morphine .laden contents. Herbert Wood, 523 Third St. Calling on Tennyson. A young American girl. who with her mother had called at Farringford to see the famous poet Tennyson, but was not received. shortly after ex- pressed her regret to Mrs. Cameron, Tennyson’s neighbor, who was also his intimate friend and a lady at once charming and masterful. “Oh, so he wouldn't see you!” cried Mrs. Cameron indignantly. “Come with me!” Bhe took the reluctant American straight back to Tennyson’s house and, without knocking or ringing, went into the room where he sat with his wife. “Alfred,” said she as the two looked up, startled, “these strangers came from a far country to see the lon of Freshwater, and behold—a bear!” Tennyson-burst out laughing and be- came amiable at once. Ready. He—I wonder what your father will say when 1 ask him for your hand. She—Don’t worry about that, dear.

At an early hour on the morping of his expected arrival .the ambassador went, in slippers and dressing gown, to see 1f the rooms were in perfect or- der. He found .that the duke's.valet had arrived and.was arraoging his master’s trunks and portmanteaus. Btratford .gave some directions how they should be placed. Thé man left off working and stared at the Intrud “I tell you what it 1s,” he sald. “I1 know how his royal highness likes to bave his things arranged better than you do. So you just be off, will you, old fellow?” Lord Stratford legt.in a towering passion. Calling one of his attaches, he ordered him to go in and tell the man whom he had addressed in such language. The attache .returned with twinkling eyes. “What did you say?” asked the am- bassador. “I sald to him, my lord, that the per- son he had ventured to address such language to was her majesty’s repre- sentative to Turkey.” : “Ah, quite right. And his answer?” “He answered, my lord, that he never sald you wasn’t.”—“With Lord Stratford In the Crimean War.” ' Wise Men of Gotham. A “wise man of Gotham” 1s a fool, but the phrase arose through the real wisdom of the people that lived in the English town of Gotham.. The story goes that King John of England once visited the town with the intention of seeing a castle that he thought of tak- ing for himself. But the Gothamites aid not care for the nearness of roy- alty and the expense they would be put to if the king should have a house there, and so they cooked up a scheme to drive him away. When the king ar- rived with his company of followers and rode through the town he saw all the inhabitants of Gotham going through the most foolish of tasks, each person with a silly smile on his face. The king was disgusted with them. He would not live among crazy people, and so he rode on through the town and did not stop for the castle. Then the wise men of Gotham, still smiling, but not in a silly fashion, 'told one an- other that there were more fools that passed through Gotham than remgin in it Not What He Seemed. Lieutenant General J. M. Grierson tells an amusing story of some maneu- vers in which he took part. Ouly a small body of troops were being ac- tually employed, and “skeleton forces™ were, the rule—in other words, small bodies of men represented whole divi- sions. General Grierson with his staff was riding along a lane when he sud- denly came upon one of the enemy's pickets sitting calmly by the roadside. Quickly the general rode up to him and said: “You are my prisoner; you had better surrender.” The man grinned and pointed to a flag beside him. “Beg pardon, sir,”” he said, “but I am a brigade of infantry, so you are all my prisoners.”—London Mail. 8 Religlous persecution as such was unknown under the Romans. The Christians were regarded as seditious. In denying the .divinity of the Cae- sars and, the Roman gods they were guilty of high treason in Roman eyes and were accordingly punished. But their punishment had no religious sig- nificance whatever. The Christians were persecuted not because they were Christians, but because, in the opinion of the authorities, they were disturb- ers of the peace and safety of the state. Religious persecution was a thought that never entered the Roman mind.—New York American. Wounds of the Heart. In wounds of the heart itself the es- cape of blood is never in large quanti- ty, and the lethal consequences are due to the fact that the escape of blood from within its cavity or cavities. into the surrounding sac of the peri- cardium mechanically interrupts the alternate contraction and expansion by ‘which its pumping action is maintain- ed. Accordingly the results of the wound of the heart are usually identi- cal with those of gradual suffocation. Cutting. A Scotch lawyer was well reproved | when, seated by a lady fully aware of her own plain looks, having bowed to his hostess in giving the toast, “Hon- est Men and Bonnie Lasses,” she re- Jjoined, raising her own glass, “We ‘may both drink that toast, since it re- fers to neither of us.” Similar Tastes. Belle—But do you think you and he are suited to each other? Nell—Oh, perfectly! Our tastes are quite simi- lar. I don’t care very much for him, and he doesn’t care very much for me. —Paris Figaro.

The. Wal With, Two Cars. A Cleveland party recently sojourn- ing in a Toronto hotel decided to take an automobile ride about the city. They approached the extremely self conscious clerk and asked him where they could secure a car. “Our head waitah has two, don’t y* know,” he replied. N It took some little time to recover from this shock, but presently one of the party ventured to ask the price. “Three an hour,” was the answer. That was voted satisfactory, and at luncheon one of the Clevelanders turned to the nearest waiter. “Who- is the chap that owns two automobiles?” he asked. “I am the chap,” the waiter replied, and he threw such a freezing empha- sls Into the word ‘“‘chap” that it was fairly. frost cracked. They finished, their luncheon, before they had enough courage to agk the price. “Four dollars an hour,” the waiter replied, with haughty indifference. Then they went uptown and hired a very good car for $3 an hour.—Cleve- land Plain Dealer. The Gaelic A B C. Every letter In the Gaelic alphabet is represented by a tree..
