Postoffice at Bemid)l, Miansasta, a3 secoad clasy SUBSRIPTION---$5.00 PER YFAR IN RDVANCE The weather is nearly as perfect as Cass Lake believes Ballinger to be. ESoo—— International Falls lays claim to Fort Francis, Canada, but why no one can guess. We inquire to know: did Walter Wellman take into consideration the fact that the ocean is wet all the way over? The Bemidji high school football team might not shine in grand opera but they certainly showed up well in Grand Rapids. Although Aviator Roosevelt likes riding in an aeroplane it has gener- ally been noticed that he likes to get in on the ground floor. Market reports tell us that beef on the hoof is cheaper. Alas and alack, it is never on the hoof when purchased by the consumer. Dr. J. Wilbur Chapman, the evan- geist, has decided to attack the wickedness of Chicago but he doesn’t know just where to begin first. Perhaps the approach of Hal- lowe’en may have something to do with that pensive look which already is stealing over dear little Johnny’s countenance. An Iowa doctor declares that the craze for intoxicating drink can be overcome by eating an apple. Yes, but there wouldn’t be apples enough to go around. Everybody’s Magazine tells how at the North Dakota state fair a Fargo man explained to a visitor that the cucumber he had on exhibi- tion was of the ‘“Progressive” variety, ‘because,” he said, “it doesn’t always agree with the party.” Hearst has offered $50,000 to the man who flies in° an aeroplane from the Atlantic to the Pacific coast. In conquests of the air, Mr. Hearst has ever been a leader, but his triumphs have heretofore been ina heated atmosphere. JOHN PRENTISS DOLLIVER. The death Saturday night at his Fort Dodge home of Senator John Prentiss Dolliver takes from the na- tion one of her most useful sons. Durizg his short life of 52 years the Iowan had carved for himself a career prominent in the history of the country which he has served. Fearless as a Spartan hero, Dol- liver fought for what he believed to be right, to all appeance unconscious of the game of politics and striking at iniquities, whether within or with- out his party with an abandon that probably would have retired to pri- vate life a less brilliant fighter. His daring denunication of the Payne- Aldrich tariff bill is an example of his purity of purpose in public work. There was much he might yet have done, but the country is the better for his having lived, and Iowa’s long list of men of might con- tains no more illustrious name. BE FAIR. Some of our republican contem- poraries are seizing upon Governor Eberhart’s visit to the fire zone to make political capital out of it. One of them, the Mankato Free Press, says: “While James Gray is harangu- ing the people, Governor Eberhart is giving aid to the homeless in the fire district.” The Free Press inference is that the democratic candidate places politics above a desire to offer aid to the sufferers. It must be remem ber- ed that Mr. Gray is a private citizen while Mr. Eberhart is at ‘the head of the state. Mr. Eberhart’s efforts in behalf of the fire victims deserve the admiration which they havereceived, but it is reasonable to presame that if Mr. Gray were governor he would, under like circumstances, do as much. There are enough convincing argu- ments to be used against the demo- cratic leader without attempting to grab votes by so crude an effort. CASS LAKE AND HER CRY FOR ‘JUSTICE.” For weeks the Cass Lake Times has been screaming at ‘the top of its voice that it demands justice, that it wants fait treatment and that Cass Lake is &ntitled to and, by hek, is going to have, a square deal. In this noisy demonstration Bemidji, as well as certain branches of the United States government, the gov- ernor and attorney general of Min- nesota, newspapers in general and a minister of the gospel of its own town, has been sharply criticised by the Times. From™ the current issue of the Times we reprint ‘the following: “DULUTH, first with funds, first with food, and first to aid its country- men:"” Bemidji doesn’t claim to be per- fect, but she is big enough and good enough and broad enough to give Cass Lake credit when in justice she deserves credit. The Times knows that the first car containing relief supplies to be unloaded at Baudette was from Bemidji. The Times also knows that the militia company from this city rendered the first outside aid to the injured. Here is another item and this one is taken from the International Falls Press: “In the bestowal of praise for heroic service at Baudette ‘and Spooner the Bemidji company of militia, first on the ground with police protection and supplies, is en- titled to a very large share, much larger, -in fact, than it recieved in all the excitement that attended the disaster. “When the soldiers arrived the burned towns were bordering on mob law. Ghouls were working among the ruins and attacking the safes of the banks and business houses. No property was safe and there was no protecnon. “The Bemidji loldlers, in charge of Sheriff Hazen and Deputy Rut- ledge, in the absence of Captain Otto who missed the relief train, immediately stopped all pil'age, ar- rested every prowler who could not give an account of himselt and wrought order out of chaos. That was the greatest step taken through- out the fire relief work to safeguard the interests of the state and its citizens,” The Dear Old Frauds. Those old. pleasant, innocent frauds of the circus are not practiced now— the imposing five barred gates that as the horse approached them were slop- ed into insignificant wattles and the rings through which the signorina pur- ported to leap, but which in reality were insinuated over her by compliant attendants. And then there was that venerable jockey performance, the cul- mination of which was a leap from the ring to a standing position, albeit at an angle of thirty degrees, on the horse’s back. In the old circuses it was the custom of the horseman to miss the crowning jump two or three times in order that a fiercer flame of interest might be kindled in the audi- ‘ence. After two failures the band would stop (always the presage of a moment of strain supreme), the horse’s head would be loosed, he would be urged to a greater pace, and the feat would gloriously succeed. Then what a crash of drass and outburst of de- light in the building, involving even the staff and ringmaster in the expres- slon of ecstasy! Those old, simple days!—Cornhill Magazine. Remarkable Instinct. “Every time I go shopping I thank heaven that I have a good business head,” said the woman who boasts that her quick wit always saves her from financial loss. “A saleswoman came very near getting Into trouble today over a belt I bought. The only thing that saved her was my business instinct. First 1 bought a belt for $1.25 and paid with a two dollar bill. In handling my change the girl drop- ped a quarter into the paper and boxes that strewed the floor back of the counter and could not find it. Of course I could have held her account- able, but she looked so tired and wor- ried that 1 hadn’t the heart to do that, 80 how do you think we settled it?” Her husband gave it up. “Why,” said she triumphantly, “I Just exchanged my $1.25 belt for a dollar one, and neither of us lost any- thing.” “Remarkable instinct, my dear,” said the husband, and she smiled over his approval.—New York Sun. Bernard Shaw'’s Excuse. Bernard - Shaw was invited to a ban- quet in honor of the sculptor Rodin. He sent the following letter as his ex- cuse for not attending: “For me a banquet to Rodin is quite superfluous. 1 bave already taken measures to assume immortality for myself by attaching my name to that of Rodin. Henceforth In every ency- clopedia you will read, ‘Bernard Shaw; subject of a bust by Rodin; otherwise unknown.' “If the bust Is lost, broken or spoiled, 80 much the better for me,” he con- tinues. *“They will speak of the ‘lost Bernard Shaw of Rodin,’ as today they speak of the lost Athens of Phidias. Nothing can be more -beautiful than the statues which no one ever saw. Therefore I have done all that is neces- sary. I can get along without ban- quets. You will only be Rodin’s hosts. I have the honor to be his model.”— Dramatic Mirror. Woman. Woman has been defined as “an essay on goodness and grace in one ‘volume, elegantly bound.” .

Owing to the overcrowded con- ditions of our columas, a number of births are unavoidably postponed this week—Cicero News. Ferguson's Whiskers. Up here in this district, we have only to look at Mr. Ferguson’s whiskers to see which way the legis- lative wind is blowing.—Walker Pilot. Ought to be Good. Maine’s Democratic Senator ought to be a good one. He is the first in forty years and may be the last for forty more.— Chicago Record-Herald. No Medals for These Heroes. Hundreds of heroic deeds, well worthy of a Carnegie Medal, were no doubt performed at Spooner and Baudette but neither the heroes nor heroines or the ones for whom the heroic deeds were performed remain to give an account of the gallantry.—Thief River Press. Stanton Deserves Re-election. To judge from the press comment throughout the district Judge Stanton will not be hampered with much op- position by the republican nominee. The “Judge” has proved his worth and ability and on a matter of merit the position belongs to him without any quibbling—Pine River Sentinel. Thinks Bemidji is a Bad, Bad Town. With vice reeking at every pore, with miniature hells in nearly every corner in the down town district, the Bemidji Pioneer sidesteps to point the finger of ridicule at Cass Lake for the stand it has taken against usurpation. If Bemidji would clean her own stables she would have no time to meddle in her neighbor’s affairs.—Cass Lake Times. Bemidji as’ Seen By the Headlight. The Soo and M. & L Railways will build a $20,000 passenger station-at Bemidji. Bemidji is sure- ly destined to become the largest city in Northwestern Minnesota and is forging to the front at a rapid gait. Its growth bas been simply phenomenal and it has a very promis- ing future. Crookston will have to *'go some” or Bemidji will pass it on the road.—Staples Headlight. Impossible! Considering the small population of Cass Lake, and also the fact that a large number of its male residents are in sympathy with the action of the Indian bureau in closing Cass Lake saloons, we have bee1 wonder- ing where Mayor Dumas found all those 500 good men and true who were going to institute a rebellion against their Uncle Samuel. Evi- dently he was just trying to runa cheap bluff on the authorities at St. Paul and Washington—Warren Register., The Unreality of ‘There are people who sflll camplaln of the unreality of opera,. who cannot subject themselves to its illusion. And indeed the illusion of opera breaks down if everything in it is not kept at the same distance from reality. In that world of musical expression we ‘must never be suddenly lowered by any incongruous detail into the ordi- nary world of prose. Realism, the at- tempt to work upon the emotions by complete illusion of reality, is disas- trous in opera. If the scene is a rail- way station we remember at once that people do not sing when they are catching trains.—London Times. The Music Was Fatal. A New York politician once found it necessary to attend an entertainment at an orphans’ home, and he was hav- ing a bad time of it. The selection by the boys’ band was particularly dis- tressing. Turning to a friend, the poli- tician said with a shudder, “No won- der they are orphans.”—Success Maga- zine. A Money Saver.’ “But you are taking considerable risk in letting your young ‘men owe two or three weeks’ board.” “Yes, there is some risk,” answered the boarding house keeper. ‘‘But then, you see. they worry over it so that they lose their appetites, so I save money in the long run.” Diplomatic. “1 belleve our boy is a born diplo- mat.” ‘Has he shown extraordinary ability as a prevaricator?” “Well, no. not that exactly, but he can cheat other boys In trades aud make them think they are getting all the best of it.” Napoleon and Woman. Napoleon I, who was a’ great ad- mirer of female talent when its owner did not, like Mme, de. Stael, direct it agrinst -himself, used to say, “There | are women who have only one fault— viz, that they are not men.” i Poor, puny:littlekiddie! Something is wrong. ‘Healthy children grow.

It has caused more happiness and more unhappiness than any other word in the language. It has lost more money for easy lend- ers than all the holes in all the pock- ets in the world. * It has started more dipsomaniacs on their careers than all the strong liquor on earth. It has caused more fights than all the “you're liars” that ever were spoken. It has procured kisses and provoked blows. It has defeated candidates and elect- ed scoundrels, It has been used in more lies than any other expression. It is not mieant balf the time it fs said. Wil it continue to make such a record ? Yes.—Life. . Wouldn't Deliver. He was born in Dublin and lived in Ireland until' about two months ago, when he came to Cleveland. Then he began to look around for a job. The manager of a furniture house prom- ised to give him a trial. “Come around in the morning and go to work,” he said. “and if you can de- liver the goods we'll probably keep you permanently.” The Dublin native went over to tell his . cousin about It. He confided to bim that he didn't believe he'd go back to take the job, after all. “They want me to deliver the goods.” he ‘said. *“Think of going around delivering big, heavy furniture. That’s what "horses and wagons are for in my country.”—Cleveland Plain Dealer. Haryard University. Harvard university derives its name from Rev. John Harvard, its earliest bevefactor, who in 1638 bequeathed one-half of his estate, amounting to £800, for the endowment of the college. Harvard ball. was built in 1765, Hol- worthy ball of brick in 1812 and Hollis hall, also of brick, in 1764. Stoughton hall, being of the sume dimensions and material as Hollis, was built in 1804, and a writer of 1817 states that “its appearance is somewhat in the modern style.” What He Admired. “What did father say when you ask- ed him for my band?” “Oh,” replied Augustus, “he—he did his best to be pleasant.

There can be no just reason why any reader of this will continue to suffer the tortures-of an'aching back, the annoyance of urinary disorders, the dangers of diabetes of any kidney ills when relief is so near at hand and the most positive proof given that ' they can be cured. Read what a ‘Bemidji citizen says: P. M. Dicaire, 1237 Irvine Ave., Bemidji, Minn., says: “For fifteen years I was afflicted with kidney trouble and I believe that it was caused by heavy' lifting. “My back was extremely -painful, ‘especially when I stooped and ached so in- intensely at night that I could not get my proper rest. I had dizzy spells and often after stooping, my sight was blarred. Finally I began taking Doan’s Kidney Pills and the contents of a few boxes entirely relieved me. Since that time I have had no further need of a kidney medicine.” For sale by all dealers. Price 50 cents. Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo, New York, ' sole agents for the United States.

However, “‘lobster” was a favorite terin of abuse ‘among Euglishmen of Queen Elizabeth’s day, and Shakespeare may have denounced his callboy as a “lobster” when the Loy falled to at- tend to his duties. Some students of the word think it probably was applied first to men with red faces. As signi fylng a soldier the term “lobster” is as old as Cromwell's day. Lord Claren- den, historian of the civil war in Eng- land, explains that it was applied to the Roundhead cuirassiers *because of the bright iron shells with which they were covered. Afterward British sol- diers in their red uniforms were called “lobsters.” Then came another develop- ment. The soldler in_the red coat be-- came a “boiled lobster,” while the po- liceman fin blue was, of course, an “unboiled” or “raw lobster.”” Again, “to boil a lobster” was for a man to enlist in the army and.put o a red coat.—Chicago News.
