Down at Winona yesterday a bliz- zard was raging, but Mr. Tawney had nothing to do with it this time. Here’s hoping that Colonel Roose- velt continues as active for the next 52 years as he has been in the past 52 Thirst for buttermilk caused the removal of Robert McMahon from the Chicago police force. Yes, we said buttermilk—and in Chicago. The editor of the Bemidji Sentinel figures it out that he has been called a dog by the Pioneer. We wouldr’t be so impolite, and besides we have nothing against the dogs. Frank Day says the campaign is full of promise for an unpre- cederted plurality for Gray. wrenching events characteristic of a forest-fed conflagration, it must cer- tainly, also, be just as criminal for a railroad company. BACON. Bacon, the smoke-perfumed sides of what was once a happy hog,which bad already vied with the Wright brothers in altitudinal ambitiouns, has been given another boost by the proprietor of about everything worth while, His Mighty Majesty, Mr. Meat Trust. This makes possible the following heart interest items which come to us by wireless. Podunk, Oct, 29.—Society circles bere are agog over a bridge party given by Mrs. I. M. Reckless. To the winner Mrs. Reckless gave a prize of one half slice of bacon. Mrs. Reckless has a fortune in her own name. Chicago, Oct. 29.—Armed guards placed a strong box consigned by the First National Bank to J. Pierpont Morgan on board a special train here today. The contents of the strong box were valued at $100,- 000, as it contained $4,000 in cash and one side of bacon. Cass Lake, Minn., Oct. 29.—This town was thrown into a furore of excitement, not equaled since the memorable near-battle of Oct. 15, when it was discovered thata spot ou Bill Brown’s Sunday suit was pure bacon grease. The grease will be extracted. Bill is already figuring on buying an automobile. St. Paul, Minn. Oct. 29.—The Cijty Meat Market has installed a chilled steel cage and if successful in float- ing a bond issue, will, pdt‘ in a supply of bacon. Mr. Sweitzendorfer, the proprietor, says there is nothing too good for his customers and that if he succeeds in getting the bacon, he will insist on cutting tit as thick as tissue paper even at the risk of suffering financial loss on every sale. ] WHAT OTHER PAPERS SAY l Or Demi Tassa For Soup. The Duluth Evening Herald makes a strong editorial plea for bills of fare printed in the English language. Bringham has been handed a bunch of foi de gras some time in place of new asparagus.—Chisholm Tribune. Stanton Looks Good to Him. The indications as regards Judge Stanton for re-election show some favorable for him at this time. Good, honest efficiency coupled with common sense and integrity seems to have given him the lead with a big margin.—Pine River Sentinel. A Lemon For You. The Baltimore American is justly proud of the 8,000 babies that have been born in the Maryland metro- plis within the last ten montds. Ifa Baltimore girl baby is not a thing of beauty it usually becomes one in about sixteen years. (A handsome bouquet addressed “Tribune, Chicago,” will reach us, all right.)— Frank must have been full of something else when he said it. FIXING THE RESPONSIBILITY. If it can be proven that the Canadian Railroad company is to blame for the loss of mnearly two score of human lives and the burn- ing of hundreds of domestic animals and the destruction of two towus and $5,000,000 worth of property, it should be compelled to make such reparation as can be made by money settlements, Were the evidence less convincing, the people of this country might be less hasty in thrusting upon Canada the blame for one of the greatest, yet unnecessary, disasters in the history of the state. As a matter of fact it apparently is the railroad companies who are to blame and the fact that the Canadian Northern faces damage suits as a result of the fires in the northern part of Beltrami county is merely incidental to the great gener- al responsibility involved. Tf it isa crime for an individual to take human life, to commit arson, to destroy homes and all of the heart- Chicago Tribune. The “quaret" Dodge. When the manufacturers offer the *“Cekaret” for sale by the millions in Minnesota, proclaiming it to be “above the law” we naturally in- quire what kind of an anti-cigarette law the legislature of 1909 passed. Evidently the manufacturer of the “Coffin Nails” has found a loophole in the law. There has been no evidence of distress among the con- sumers.—Alexandria Post News. Bemidji's White Slavery. A case of “white slavery” has been unearthed at Bemidji. The victim is a young girl of thirteen years and her brutish master is a man of thirty-seven. The extreme penalty in cases of this kind is thirty years and the Headlight sincerely hopes that the guilty man in the case, will get the full limit of the law. Crimes of this kind are far too common and no sympathy should beextendeql to any wretch found guilty of the ‘ruination of a young girl’s life, — Pine River Sentinel. WORMS Doctors laugh at “worms™ Mothers pooh-pooh worms. Fathers sniff at worms, but children go on suffering with worms just the same. Surprising how Kickapoo Worm Killer will knock *“pig-headedness” out of some parents and make them ashamed of letting their children suffer needlessly. TryK. W, K. and you will believe in worms and quit knocking. Price, 25. ; sold by drug- gists everywhere. SWEDBAGK TO USE STIGKERS A Good Man Never Quits. Through circumstance over which I had no control, some of the peti- tions I had sent out to be signed in order to permit my name to go upon the ballot, did not reach me in time, and as a result my name is left out from the official compilation of candidates. But inasmuch asI am in receipt constantly of urgent support and solicitation to run, from different sections of the county, and further that my failure to appear upon the ballot with the rest of the candidates was not due to the lack of signers, but because one or two peti- tions did not arrive in time to be|= filed Tuesday Oct. 18, I feel it would be a disappointment to my friend to withdraw at this time hence I have decided to make the run with stickers, and feel confident that my friends will agree with me in my decision and will heartily support me in my campaign. While I may be asking counsiderable of the voters in this county and this ' city to write my name on the ballot for Treasurer (or use sticker) besides marking an X, yet I think I havea sufficent number of friends who will be pleased to go to this extra trouble in order to see me elected Treasurer of Beltrami Co. Yours for success, Charles S. Swedback. The Symbolism Didn’t Appeal. . “Charlie,” sorrowfully sighed the young lady in the parlor of the con- crete house on Washington avenue, it is nearly 12 o'clock. *Yes. Belinds.” was the breathing response of her poetical companion, who was sitting on the sofa beside ber, “the minute band is drawing closer to tbe hour hand, and when the time of midgight is chimed the two hands will .'e even as one. Oh, dar- ling Belinda.” he continued as he lit- erally simulated the action of the min- ute hand, “may not the coming to- gether of those two hands be sym- bolical of us?" She broke away and stood firmly on ber feet. *‘No, Charles Henry Smith.” she retorted angrily, “those two hands will remain as one but a single sec- ond, and then the minute hand will divorce itself and go on its way alone. No, Mr. Smith, a minute hand that doesn’t stick isn’t the kind of sym- bolism 1 want!”’—Chicago News. Dividing a Long Sermon. Dr. Samuel Buell of the last half of the eighteenth century, who used to preach two or three hours, like Isaac Barrows, was ingenious in detaining his congregation. On one occasion, aft- er preaching nearly two hours—as long as he could feel secure in the presence of all his hearers—he remarked that he was done preaching to sinners and that they were at liberty to go; the rest of his discourse would be ad- dressed to good people. A gentleman who once went to hear him stated that when the hourglass was nearly ready to be turned a sec- ond time from the commencement of his sermon he said, much to the relief of the person who related it, “Once’ more.” After going on some eight or ten minutes longer he said, “To con- clude,” and after another about equal interval he said. “‘Lastly.”” The gentleman added that he expect- ed every moment to hear him say “Ev- erlastingly.” A Curious Remedy. Perhaps the most curious remedy for seasickness ever prescribed was that arranged by Sir Theodore Mayern for the English princess royal when she crossed to Belgium in 1642. Cinnamon, coriander, anise, ambergris, musk and sugar were to be made up into long tubes for ber to munch on the voyage; a plaster of balsam of Peru, gum mas- tich and lgudinum was to be applied to the pit of rhe stomach, and in addi- tion she was to inhale the comforting vapors arising from a hash of toast. orange and citron peel, roses, lavender and cloves mingled with wine, cinna- mon water and elder flower vinegar. e——— - WO = 150 et eeese— - "|FOR SALE—Large piano cased Too Rich For His Pocket. After the war with Spain a party of Americans, including Colonel Hecker of Detroit. went to Cuba on a tour of inspection. They bad with them a negro messenger named Frank. One day Frank got into a place where they sell ices and cakes on the Prado, in Havana, and bought a plate of ice cream. That was 20 cents. The wait- er handed around some cakes. Krank took a few. The cakes were passed for a second and a third time. On each occasion Frank helped himself liberally. Then he called for his check. It was $1.80, American. Colonel Heck- er and some friends, who were at an adjoining 1able, heard Frank yell. “What ix the matter, Frauk?® asked the colonel, “Why didn’t you stop me?' sobbed Frank. “Why didn't you stop me?
