To those who may be strangers within our gates, we take this opportunity to remind you that not so many years ago tepees were more popular than business houses; that no saws sang their way through logs; that there was no need of factory, or shop and that Chief Be- midji trod the trail now smoothed by pavement for the traffic of 2 mod- ern city. May your .coming to sig- nalize the laying of the bands of steel] prove profitable and pleasant. We drink, and shall continue to do so until 11 o’clock, to your health. come. Woodrow Wilson. That's all. S me—— Uncle Joe Cigar.-in.his-mouth was reelected in the Danville district. Now that the democrats have the house it will be interesting to know what they will do with it. It sure enough is a sad season for republicans. Dog bite, can’t even get Ballinger to resign. King George is to be crowned on June 22, but the date for Mr. Gray's coronation has been indefinitely postponed. Having settled the momentous questions of state itis now proper to take time enough to put up the storm windows. We have gotton along without budding a tear so far as Senator Depew is concerned but it does hurt to see Beveridge go. On the eve of election Col. Roose- velt said, “We have them beat toa frazzle,” and not a word has passed the lion hunter’s lips since. Cheer up, if you are disappoint- ed over general results, Think P —— o(.President'Tah who. néeds an- other term to ‘complete his niche in history. BRAINERD. We bow low to Brainerd. The manner in which that city is boost- ing for the coming gathering there of the Northern Minnesota Develop- ment Association entitles her to a warm round of applause. Not a little of the success of the December convention depends upon the town in which it is to be held. Brainerd is doing her share. The Crow Wing town is earning all the advertising that it is getting from the gathering and has a right to it for the interest there, although primarily to make a good showing for itself, redounds to the credit of all northern Minnesota. ROOSEVELT. What does the defeat of Stimson in New York mean to Roosevelt? That is the question which has set the country to. talking, and is a question which cannot be answered. Representative Steenerson inclines to the belief that it means that the Roosevelt star has sunk. Many men, good business men, declare that not only has the star sunk, but| that Roosevelt and his “danger policies” are buried so deep they can never again see the light of day. They see real prosperity in store for the country; the return of a “'safe and sane” government and the eternal blasting of anything akin to a monarch in America. Other men, and]they, too, appear rational and fairly intelligent, say the election of Dix in New York was a calamity in which the nation is in- terested and that the only manner in. which to right the wrong is to force Roosevelt to again become a candidate for president. That Colonel Roosevelt’s popu- larity has received a dent, no one can deny. That he is no longer a | power is putting it too strong. WHAT WILL HAPPEN? The power ot the national house of representatives, as the result of Tuesday’s election, is assured to the democrats. Justly or not, the Payne-Aldrich tariff bill is largely to blame for this unusual condition of affairs. Cannonism and Aldrichism, made so much of by the democrats, were issues Jemanating largely from the tevision of the tariff. The power of the venerable speaker of the house long ago vanished and the triumph of his opposing} party permits his graceful exist from the political arena. Aldrich, too, has gone into the discard. The hue and cry raised by the democrats has had its effect. They are to taste of the sweets of victory for the first time in years. It is true that the cost of living has been increased. The demo- crats bave howled loud and long that the republicans are to blame. The campaign was waged and wonfon that cry. Now let that party continue the) prosperity which has marked the power of the republicans and at the same time cut the cost of necessities. It will be a novel experience for the county. Champ Clark as speaker of the house with a Jworking majority for the democrats causes cold- chills. Let us hope for the best and pre- pare forthe worst.

Before aunaesthetics were known the surgeon's only expedient was to abridge his patient’s sufferings ‘by working rapidly. In this the old time surgeons did wonders. Tbey had a control and a surety In their hands that are now seldom found. Oune day the celebrated surgeon Maisonneure had.to amputate the leg of a poor devil, who began to bow! in advance. *T'll give you my watch.” said the surgeon. “if the oper ation lasts more than a minute.” The man accepted the offer, but was oblig ed to forego the handsome watch, as the operation took less time than it re I quires to describe. To amputate an arm at the shoulder is a most difficult operation. Dr. Langenbeck of Ger many did it in two minutes. A young physician who came to see him per- form the operation adjusted his spec- tacles to his nose so as not to lose 2 single movement, but when the spec. j tacles were in place the operation was over and the severed arm lay on the ! floor. Times have changed much since | then i Dr. Johnson’s Church. §t. Clement Daunes has pever torgot- | ten the fact that Johnson worshiped within its walls The pew in which he sat (it is in the worth gallery, close to the pulpity is marked by a brass plate which was erected by the parish- joners in 1851. In December, 1884, the ry of Dr. Johnson's deatb was »d by a memorial service, when 1l address was delivered by tha Rev Dr. Lindsay, at that time rector of St. Clement Danes. Johnson's pew was on that oceasion draped in violet. | Johnson was always constant in his artendance at church on Good Friday and Easter dpy On April 9, 1773, he went with Boswell. “His behavior,” writes Roswell, *was, as | bad imagin ed to myself. solemnly devout. 1 shall never forget the tremulous earnestness with which bhe pronounced the awful petition in the litany, ‘In the hour of death and in the day of judgment. good Lord. deliver ns!”” "—London News. Fine Art of Letter Opening. In Russia one letter in every ten passing through the post is opened by the author! as a matter of course Indeed, the postal authorities of every country have experts who have raised | letter opening to a fine art Some | kinds of paper ecan be steamed open without lex ¢ auy traces. and this stmple operation is finished by re- burnishing the flap with a bone instru- ment. In the case of a seal a matrix is taken by means of new bread be- fore breaking the wax When other methods fail the envelope is placed be- tween pieces of wood with edge pro- Jjecting ODP-I\\‘()HIH’[P of an inch. The edge of the envelope is first flattened. then roughened and finally slit open. Later a hair line of strong white gum is applied and the edges united under pressure.—Loncdon Chronicle.
