Have you got so you can write it “1911” without saying words of a loud and lawless character? That new song, “Every Little Movement Has a Meaning All Its Own” was probably inspired by the thermometer. AN IMPORTANT SESSION. The session of the legislature which convened in St.Paul yesterday promises to be one of the most im- portant and exciting ever held in the history of the state. There is sure to be some bitter clashes. In the first place there has been extreme feeling manifest in the speakership contest. = Then in the senate there is the Saugstad- Stephen election contest that is going to cause the fur to fly. Be- side these two danger points there are many others which are bound to present themselves during the ses- sion which is to consider: Election of a United States Sen- ator. Reapportionment of districts. legislative Probable creation of one new con- gressional district. County option bill. Efforts to extend direct primary to state officers and United States senators. Employers’ liability law. New system for efficient care of forests. . Taxation of state lands for local purposes. Relief for over crowded hospitals for the insane. Campaign for one mill road tax and state supervision of road making. Proposed reorganization of de- partments controlling state resources. Initiative and referendum and re- call. Appropriation bills to cover cost, of growing institutions. Usual grist of taxation_bills with efforts to revive inheritance tax and railroad gross earnings tax. By the time that the lawmakers have cleared the deck of all these topics, and the others which are bound to come up, it will be time to get back home and do the spring work, The notion that the session might be cut short is already a joke, It will cover the ninety days allowed by law and there will be the usual THE BEMIDJI DAILY PIONEER scramble to jam bills thrO\Tgh at the end of the session. . Northern Minnesota, which needs legislation more than any other part of the commonwealth, will early ask for what she wants and a reappor- tionment bill, drainage, road and forest fire: protection bills promise to be among the first to be given con- sideration. lWEAT OTHER PAPERS SAY I $now. A good old snow storm does more than anything else to help the old-| timers remember the wonderful things that never happened.—Larry Ho in St. Paul Dispatch. Mabe It Will. What’s all this growl about that “progressive republican convention?” If certain estimable gentlemen of the State of Minnesota who hold ad- vanced ideas on political want to get together in greater or lesser numbers and discuss said political matters who is there so mighty as to deny them the right? The grumble from certain standpat quarters sounds like there was a fear abroad in the land that the convention may amount to some- thing. Maybe it will.—Sauk Rapids Sentinel. matters Smith on the Job. Walter J. Smith of Eveleth, state treasurer, will take charge of his of- fice Tuesday morning, succeeding Elias S. Pettijohn, who retires. ~Mr. Pettijohn, it is understood, will go into business in St. Paul. At the close of business on Dec. 31, 1910, the state treasury had $1,- 194,967.74 cash on hand. The revenue fund was overdrawn $440,- 174, which is considerably inside the limit of overdraft allowed by law. At the beginning of the fiscal year 1911, August 1, 1910, the cash bal- ance was $4,261,231.67. In the first five months of the fiscal year, ending December 31, 1910, the re- ceipts were $3,877,038.91 and the disbursements $6,943,302.84.—St. Paul Dispatch. Better Roads and Better Schools. Good roads and good schools are two subjects that should occupy the attention of the Legislature at the approaching session. Both are vital to every farmer and being so closely bound up in his life are liable to be overlooked as so many things are that are very familiar. The question of good roads will have one earnest, aggressive champion, Bob Dunn, and we may look for some re- sults in that line; but with the school proposition it is different. No one seems to come forward to champion their cause, notwithstanding all the talk there is about conservation. The hope of the rural schools lies in their consolidation.—Slayton Ga- zette. Henry Clay’s Eloquence. It was the remark of a distinguished senator that Heury Clay's eloquence was absolutely intangible to delinea- tion, that the most labored description could not embrace it and that to be understood it must be seen and felt. He was an orator by nature. His eagle eye burned with patriotic ardor or flashed indignation and defiance upon his foes or was suffused with tears of commiseration or of pity, and it was because he felt that he made others feel. A gentleman after hearing one of his magnificent efforts in the senate thus described him: “Every muscle of the orator's face was at work. His whole bLody seemed agitated, as if each part was instinet with a separate life, and his small, white hand, with its blue veius apparently distended al- most to bursting. moved gracefully. but with all the energy of rapid and vehement ;gesture. The appearance of the speaker seemed that of a pure in- tellect wrought up to its mightiest en- ergies and brightly shining through the thin and transparent veil of flesh that invested it.”—St. Louis Republic. Cleanliness In Persia. The Persian spends hours in the “hammams" (Turkish baths), which are very handsome buildings decorated with tiles and embellished with nu- .merous exhortations as to the value of cleanliness. The smallest village in Persia has its *hammaw,” and bathing is almost a religious function. When the hot -room and massage are finished the Persian is shaved, and the whole top of his head is likewise shaved, though the hair over the ears is left and allowed to grow down to the neck. This strange coiffure has a religious meaning, for the two locks on each side of the head are meant for the an- gel of death to hold when he carries the believer to paradise. All Persians dye their hair with a mixture of henna and vesmeb, and the hair dyeing is the last part of the bath. but tea and smoking are indulged in afterward, and the frequenters of the “hammams” find them very pleasant lounging places.—Chicago Journal, A Bright Youth. She-(arch{y)—Whom should you eall the prettiest-girl in the room? "He {looking -about him)—H’m! Well, to tell the truth, there isn't a pretty girt In the place.

HELD OFF THE BESIEGERS Officers Were Attempting to Capture the Men Suspected for Murder of Detectives, but Falizd Rvan With the Assistance of Treops—Place of Refuge Finally Set on Fire and Oc- cupants Cremated., London, Jan. 4.—Battling to the grim end against desperate odds “Pe- ter the Painter” and ‘Dutch Fritz,” reputed anarchists, went to their death shouting defiance to the laws of Eng- land. Four companions, the police report, perished with them in the flames that consumed their den in Sidney street, not far from the heart of London. Only. the charred bodies of the two desperadoes wanted for the assassina- tion of three policemen two weeks ago have been recovered. When their house had been riddled with bullets from the guns of police and soldiers and set on fire the trapped men clambered to the roof and there made their last stand, firing at the crowds below and jeering their assailants until the upper supports of the building gave way and the outlaws were swallowed up in the seething flames. Machine Guns Called For, The affair took on the dimensions of a veritable battle. The civil au- thorities finally became masters of the situation. At one time the besieging force called for machine guns, but these were not brought into actual use. A member of the ministry, Home Secretary Winston Churchill, visited the scene when the fighting was at its height and assisted in the work of subduing the remarkable outbreak. The extent of fatalities and injured became known slowly, as the injured were carried away to widely sep- arated hospitals. A corps of nurses were brought to the vicinity and they treated the wounded, among whom were a few spectators who had been struck by spent bullets. The full list of casualties includes the dead anarchists, two firemen shot dead as they entered the anarchists' retreat, seven firemen and two police sergeants injured, one Scots guard sergeant injured, one policeman and two bystanders shot. Of the injured at least three are believed to be fa- tally hurt. A Serious Joke, “What bas happened to Mr. White. who used to be such a joker?" “Well, he proposed to his present wife as a joke. She accepted him, and be has given up making jokes ever since.”—Dorfbarbier, Receiving. Mr. Closecoyne tduring his wife's reception)—She gives 'em lights, she gives ’em music, she gives ‘em food. flowers, champagne, and that's what she calls receiving.—London Tit-Bits. The Rainkow. When a ray of suillight falls on a raindrop It Is refracted; then part of the light Is reflected from the internal surface and again refracted on leaving the drop. The white-sunlight is not only refracted when it enters and leaves the: drop, but dispersion also takes place. The eye sees bright cir- cles of light for each kind of light, and since sunlight is made up of different kinds of homogeneous light we get a serles. of circular arcs showing the spectrum colors, the red belng outside and the. other- ¢olors following in the order of descending wave length. The, whole constitutes a primary rainbow. A secondary bow Is: sometimes seen outside the first. This is formed by the light being twice reflected inside the raindrops. The less refrangible rays are on the inner side. Rainbows due to still more Internal reflections are too feeble to be observed. It Is possible to get a white rainbow if the sun is clouded or if there is a. mixture of raindrops of very different sives. A Silent Man. Jorkins—There's Perkins—you know Perkins—entered - into an -agreement with his wife soon.after their mar- riage, twenty years ago, that when- ever either lost temper or stormed the other was to keep silence. Bob—And the scheme worked? Jorkins—Admi- rably. Perkins has kept silence for twenty years. DOWNWARD COURSE Fast Being Realized by Bemidji People. A little backache at first. Daily increasing till the back is lame and weak. Urinary disorders quickly follow; Diabetes and finally Bright’s disease. This is the downward course of kidney ills. Don’t take this course. Follow the advice of a Bemidji citizen, Mrs. A. E. Hannah, 804 American Ave,; Bemidji, Minn, says: ‘‘Some time ago I began the use of Doan’s Kidney Pills and the results were highly satisfactory. At that time I was suffering severely from back- ache and my kidneys were not doing their work as they should. I was steadily running down in health and my condition was becoming serious, when a friend advised me to try Doan’s Kidney Pills. I was so greatly benefitted by them from the first that I procured a further supply. Since then I have had little cause to worry about my condition. Today I am enjoying good Nealth and do not hesitate to give Doan’s Kidney Pills the credit for this remarkable change.” For sale by all dealers. Price 50 cents.
