VERY GLOSE IN NORTH DAKOTA Both Parties Still Claiming the Governorship. MAJORITY WILL BE SMALL Winning Candidate Will Secure Of- fice by Only a Few Hundred Votes, but Democrats Assert Burke Leads by Three Thousand—Belated Re sults From Several Other States. Fargo, N. D., Nov. 11.—All doubts ebout the re-election of Governor Burke, Democrat, to a third term for governor have been removed, the Dem- ocratic press claims, by returns from every county in the state, many of which are complete, while others have few missing precincts. While the lat- ter are generally for Johnson the changes, the Democrats insist, will not be sufficient to defeat Burke, who now has a lead of 1,627. The state Republican headquarters still insists on the election of Johnson by about 500 and the Democratic state headquarters continues to claim Burke’s election by 3,000. Returns re- ceived by newspapers do not substan- tiate the claims of either. Burke's majority will be consider- ably under the figures of two years ago, when he won by 2,500, but there is no way, it is contended by Demo- crats, that his victory can be reduced lower than twelve or fifteen hundred. EBERHART WINS BY 60,000 Late Returns Do Not Affect Results in Minnesota. St. Paul, Nov. 11.—The exact size of Governor A. O. Eberhart’s plurality is still in doubt, but latest indications are that it will go something over 60, 000. The Republican candidate carried every county but one, Lyon, and there Mr. Gray’s plurality was small. But in spite of his big plurality Gov- ernor Eberhart did not lead his ticket, that honor going to George T. Simp- son, attorney general. Walter J. Smith, candidate for treasurer, and S. G. Iver- son, state auditor, are neck and neck for second place. Justice T. D. O'Brien, Democratic candidate for the state supreme bench, is short the necessary votes to elect. CARTER TO KEEP HIS SEAT Montana Legislature Republican by Close Margin. Helena, Mont., Nov. 11.—Thomas H. Carter, Republican, will succeed him- self as United States senator from Montana, according to the best ad- vices obtainable. The latest figures indicate tnat the next legislature will be Republican by fifty-three to forty- nine and, as only fifty-two votes are needed to elect and Carter is the only Republican candidate, the chances are all in his favor. Stewart, Democratic state chairman, still claims that the Democrats have a chance. KANSAS HOUSE REPUBLICAN Nearly Complete Returns Show a Ma- Jjority of Eight. Topeka, Kan., Nov. 11.—The next Kansas house of representatives will have fifty-four Republican members and forty-six Democrats. This is indi- cated by returns from 100 out of 105 counties. The Democrats may get two more members from the remaining five counties. Governor Stubbs’ plurality will be 14,000. He has 13,214 lead on returns for ninety-nine counties. DEMOCRATS SURE OF OHIO Revised Figures Show Control of Both Branches of Legislature. Columbus, O., Nov. 11.—Revised fig- ures, which it is believed will tally with the official returns, show that the Democrats will control the next legis- lature with a plurality of twenty-four on joint ballot. In the senate the Democrats will have nineteen and the Republicans fifteen and in the house Democrats sixty-eight and Republicans forty-nine. CARROLL VICTOR IN I10WA Republican Governor Re-Elected by About 17,000. Des Moines, Nov. 11.—Ninety-three out of the ninety-nine counties of the state, complete, give Governor Carroll, Republican, 16,424 plurality over Claude Porter for the governorship, In 1908 Carroll had 2,400 plurality. He probably will get 1,000 plurality in the counties not yet complete. Gain Two Seats in Missouri. St. Louis, Nov. 11.—Missouri Re- publicans have lost two places in con- gress, Tuesday's election having re- duced the ratio of six Republicans to ten VDemocrats in the Sixty-first con- gress to four to twelve in the Sixty- second. Complete but unofficial re- turns from the Thirteenth and Four- teenth districts, where doubt existed, show the election of Democrats. Hornet.

Bemidji Minn 11-9-1610. Thomas Maloy City Clerk. A Pearl Stringer’s Keen Eye. The pearl stringer's eye becomes practiced in the detection of reul and imitation pearls. One glance is usually sutlicient. A genuine peuarl has a hard look. It presents a sort of shell-like surface with an indescribable blush. This blush is so cleverly counterfeited in wax imitations that even those who are accustomed to handling pearls day after day are likely to be deceived. In one of the large New York jew- elry houses last winter a customer purchased a band painted wminiature set in a frame of imitation pearls. On examination it was found that sev- eral of the pearls had been slightly defuced, and the whole thing was sent to the manufacturing rooms for re pairs. By chance it came under the eye of one of the pearl stringers, who instantly detected four genuine pearls in the circle of imitation ones about the picture. The frame had passed through a dozen expert hands with. out apny one's voticing the presence of real pe: No one could account for their being there. If they had not been detected the purchaser of .the frame would have bad a bargain, for the four genuine pearls were worth many times more thano the picture and the rest of its setting.—New York Lribnne. Spirit of Young America. A teacbher in a Philadelphia public school narrated the following account of how an aspiring young Italian citi- zen wis beginning to show the effects of an American environment. The story, which was told at a teachers' as- sociation meeting, runs something like this: Tony had been away from school about a week, and when he showed up ore morning the teacher asked him where he had been. “I ran away,” said Tony. “Ran away! What did you do that for?" asked the teacher. *My father was going to lick me, so I thought I'd run away,” was the re- ply. The teacher by further questioning brought out the fact rhat Tony for some trifling dereliction had been threatened with a beating and bhad stayed away from home the best part of a week. “But your father has the right to whip you.” said the teacher. “Yes, he may.” added Tony, “but I was born in this country, and I don't want no foreigners to lick me.”—Pitts- burg Chrenicle-Telegraph.

Some men have made splendid lives who have made very moderate and even scanty livings. A Hard Task. “Now, sir.”.said an Irish barrister with severity to a loquacious witness, “hold your tongue and give your evi- dence clearly!” Happlness consists largely In being too busy to be miserable.—Sheldon, With a Grain of Salt. The earliest record of the saying “with a grain of salt” dates back to the year 63 B. C., when the great Pompey entered the palace of Mithridates and discovered among his private papers the description of an antidote against poisons of all sorts, which was com- posed of pounded herbs. These, ac- cording to the recipe, were to be taken with a grain of salt. Whether this was meant seriously or as a warning sarcasm is mot known, but thenceforth it became the custom to say that doubtful preparations should be taken with a grain of salt. From this the meaning got transferred to sayings of doubtful truth. “Attic <alt” was a Greek synonym for wit or penetration, and the Latin word *sal” had some- what of the same meaning. It is thus easy to see how the saying “cumr grane salis” eould have come to mean the necessity of accepting doubtful or suspiclous statements “with a grain of salt.” Puzzled the Packer. The first organized work of women. in a relief corps was led by Floreuce Nightingale in the Crimean war of 1855. So '\uncuustu\uwd were people to that =wrvice at the time that it called out some curious comment. Writing of “Chinese” Gordon. Dr. Butler tells in his book. "Ten Great and Good Men," how the boys at Cambridge met the call upon them for hospital stores. One day a letter came suddenly from the war office telling us that any warm clothes for the invalids at Scutari would be prized by Miss Florence Nightingale. At once in every college a committee was extemporized of lead- ing undergraduates, charged to collect presents of flannel jackets. trousers. “blazers,” rugs, greatcoats, furs, even sealskins. In a few hours box after box was filled with these treasures, and all the boxes were kindly and gratuitously packed for us by the leading upholster- er of the town, his foreman simply re- marking to me in a tone which General Gordon would have enjoyed: “A nice consignment for a lady, sir.” CIVE IT TO THE CHILDREN Let them have all they want.

When the sun gets below the horizon we are not im- mediately plunged into the darkness of night. Although the sun is below our horizon, rays of solar light are bent or refracted by the terrestrial atmosphere and continue to furnish some slight illumination. The process continues with diminishing intensity until the sun is so far below the horizon that the refracting power of the atmos- phere is no longer able to bend the rays enough to produce a visible ef- fect. The time after sunset that the sun reaches such a position varies with the latitude of the place. There is less twilight at the tropic zone than at the temperate or frigid zone. This is due to less time taken by the sun’s rays to pass through the atmosphere, at the tropic zone the sun’s rays being per- pendicular and at the temperate and frigid zones oblique.—New York Amer- {can.

TWO HOUSES Molokai and the Lepers. The general idea of the leper settle- ment on the Island. of Molokai fs wrong, says a writer in Harpers Weekly. Instead of the entire island being used for the leper colony the set- tlement comprises only eight square miles out of a total area of 261 square miles. It occupies a tongue of land on the northern side of Molokai. 'The north, east and west shores of this tiny spit are washed by the Pacific, while on the south side rise precipitous cliffs of from 1,800 to 4.000 feet, which make the isolation seem even more hopeless than the beautiful deep blue waters of the sea ever could. The most difficult and dangerous trail. con- stantly manned by government guards, foils escape. if it were ever contem- plated, by the land side. Stupid ‘Hushand of a Noted Singer. Catalani's husband. a handsome Frenchman, was even more unintel- lectual than his wife—he was stupid. Once, having foynd the pitch of the piano too high, she said after the re- hearsal to her husband: “The piano is too high. Will you see that it is made lower before the concert?’ When the evening came Catalani was annoyed to find that the piano had not been altered. Her husband sent for the car- penter. who declared that he had saw- ed off two inches from each leg, as he had been ordered to do. *Surely it can’t be too high now, my dear,” said the stupid husband soothingly.

They cure sick kidneys. They cure backache, every kidney ill. Here is Bemidji evidence to prove it Mrs. J. C. Titus, 602 America Ave., Bemidfi, Minn., says: “I can recommend Doan’s Kidney Pills just as highly now as I did three years ago, when they cured me of kiddney trouble. There has been no return attack of my complaint. The failure of my kidneys to do their work properly made me miserable in every way and I was unable to find any- thing that would help me until I be- gan taking Doan’s Kidney Pills. They disposed of the pain and built up my entire system.” ' For sale-by all dealers. Price 50 cents. Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo, New. York, sole agents for the United States. .
