Thomas Maloy was defeated as a candidate for alderman at large. Ordinarily the defeat of a candidate for a city office dosen’t tend to stir human emotions. “The people need me on the coun- cil,” said Mr. Maloy before election and he said it with all the candor of his frank, Celtic makeup. The people spoke and they said Mr. Maloy was no longer wanted in public life. For a long time Mr. Maloy had been city clerk. He had- his pecu- liarities and the public did not al- ways receive a cordial welcome in his| office, but no man could ever say that Mr. Maloy was not working—not some days, but every day—with the real interest of the city at heart. His hair has grown white and his foot steps feeble without the finger of suspicion ever having been pointed at him, His life’s work is all but ended. It has not been in vain. Friend and foe are forced to unite in that rare tribute, “He was honest.” THE CITY ELECTION. It is to the credit of Bemidji that no factional strife characterized the city election and it is a further indi- cation of continued progress that so splendid a set of broad minded offi- cials should be named by the voters. The re-election of John Parker as mayor is a vindication of the policy of the chief executive and a tribute to his energetic endeavors in behalf of the municipality which has tend- ered him the highest honor within His victory was all the more notable because of his success in defeating so worthy an opponent as Mr. McCuaig and the strong showing made by Mr. McCuaig can justly be viewed by himself and friends with pride. The makeup of the new council shows it to be a strong body of wide- awake business men who can be de- pended upon to look after the real interests of the city. its power to bestow. ‘While, as is th;z case at every elec- tion, there were some dissappoint- ments, there is none of the sting left as in the case of bitter campaigns and there is no real reason why all cannot join in the renewed and per- Be- midji the biggest and best town in all the north country—a realaspirant for the “25,000” goal, as suggested not long ago by Mr. A.

Wedge, presi- dent of the Commercial club. sistant determination to make MIRS DONAHUE, THE HEROINE Following the fire which billowed out of the sky and blighted the towns of Baudette and Spooner, the country was thrilled with the story of Mar- garet Donahue, a school teacher. Miss Donahue,, not only burnéd her- from the fury of the forest demon, but a few days after the conflagration, while self while saving others still sore from burns and Bfiises,.‘;e-« convened school. As time.went on the public, whose memory is always weak, forgot about Miss Donahue un- til the report came that she was in need. That is why the;" following: from the.Spooner Rainy River Region is of so much humaninterest: “The attention of’ the Region has been called to an article appearing in several newspapers of the state’re- garding the case of Miss Margaret Donahue, the plucky school teacher of Zipple, who had her feet,so badly rburned- in- the fire-and who lost all her personal property in the blaze that destroyed her claim shack. Miss Donahue in spite of her sufferings promptly took up her duties at school again, and she has been forced to use crutches in order to get around. “According to the article in ques- tion, she was réfused aid by the re- lief committee because of the fact that she was drawing a small salary as school.-teacher. This appeared such a rank injustice that the Region decided to investigate the matter and if the-newspaper article was found to be true to raise a roar that would be heard all over the state. We may state ‘that after - fully looking into the case we find that the article does the relief committee an injustice: We found that the plucky girl was given good care at the time she was in- Jjured and later she left . Baudette and the committee lost trace of her. “Som time later she wrote to Sher- iff Hazen asking if it were possible for her to get some money from the committee to help her in a new start in life. The sheriff forwarded the letter to Mayor Williams, who in turn ‘handed it to the ‘When it came up for consideration the committee expressed their regrets that their rules prevented them from | making a cash donation as they all felt great sympathy and admiration for her. They appointed Major Eva |to take the matter up with her and to offer her a new house and to fur- committee. nish it with everything she required. ‘We have not as yet learned of his re- port but we feel sure that when it is presented the Zipple heroine will be found to have received the very liberal consideration to which she is entitled.” All who read will join in the hope that “the Zipple heroine” does re- ceive “the very liberal consideration to which she is. entitled.” I WHAT OTHER PAPERS SAY Some Are Fresh Enough Now.

The Thief River Falls papers an- nounced last week that H. E. Mussey is about to launch a third newspaper in that city. As a matter of course they were not over exuberant in pre- dicting success for the new enter- prise. A third paper was established once before in Thief River and did not succeed. But Mr. Mussey is a man of long experience in the news- paper field and will be assisted by his son Homer, who has an established reputation as a local writer and an all round hustler, and if any one can make a new paper win out in Thief River Falls he ought to do it.—Mid- dle River Pioneer. True. There are events occurring inevery community which, if reported in a local paper, would create commotion little dreamed of. What to report and what not to report often per- plexes the editor. He’s often unjust- ly accused of cowardice and fovorite- ism, while all the time he is looking toward the good reputation of the town and vicinity where his lot is cast. The local editor, from neces- sity, almost constantly finds himself between two fires, and whichever way he turns, he is sure to be unjust- 1y treated. This is one of the plea- sures of the newspaper. business.— From an Exchange, the name of which is unknown. Sees Danger In Saugstad Case. 1The state-senate has decided; by a | /| after the money came. Saugstad of Climax is entitled to hold his seat as senator despite the con- test inaugurated by Mr. Stephens, the former senator from Crookston and at one time one of theugreatest political powers in the state. , It may be thought to clarify the atmosphere a little-to have such a man as Mr. Stephens eliminated from politics, not think that votes for a candidate once defeated at the primaries should be recognized or allowed at the gen- eral election; and. we believe a bad precedent_has been.-established—one that may prove. an .entering wedge to destroy the whole.primary law.— St. Hilaire Spectator. : —_— Women on Wa 8.

Scarce one of .Epgland’s “walls. of oak” in- Nelson’s time but bad some. woman: aboard who braved the. perils and hardships of the sea in order to be with her husband. In nearly every one of the twenty-seven line of battleships under Nelson’s ,command in the great battle of Traf- algar was one or more women, wives of sailors. Surprise may be. expressed that English men-of-war’s. men . were permitted to have their wives aboard. It was only by special .permission of the admiralty that this could be done— and then permission = was. granted somewhat in the light of a penance for sanctioning the press gang system, which was largély in vogue at that time. Men were seized in the. streets and other public places and compelled to serve in British warships because “the king needed men.” . Some of the men thus seized had political influence and, being unjustly compelled to.serve in the navy, were permitted to have their wives share their involuntary servitude. A Mean Advantage. In a breach of promise case the bar- rister who held the- brief for injured beauty arranged that his fair, client -should be so placed that her charms should be well under the observation of the jury. He began a most pathetic appeal by directing their attention to her beauty and calling for justice upon the head of him who could wound, the heart and betray the confidence of one so fair, concluding with a peroration of such pathos as to melt the court to tears. The counsel for the de- fendant then rose, and after paying the lady the cowpliment of admitting that it was impossible not to assent to the encomiums lavished upon her face he added that nevertheless he felt bound to ask the jury not to for- get that she wore a wooden leg. Then he sat down. The important fact of which the-fair plaintiff’s counsel was unaware was presently established, and the jury, feeling rather sheepish at their tears, -assessed damages at the smallest amount. Sedentary habits, lack of. outdoor exercise, -insufficient -mastication of food, - constipation, a.torpid. liver, worry and. anxiety, are the most common..causes of stomach troubles.

A Case Where.the Statute of Limita- tions Was Not Considered. A well known Kansas banker told a story the other day about the statute of limitations. There is a simile in it, plus some good philosophy. One day an old southerner walked into this banker’s office. erner was a typical gentleman of the old school, suave, courteous to the point of punctiliousness and honorable to a degree of martyrdom. “What can 1 do for you?” asked the banker. “Well,” replied the southerner; “about thirty-five years ago I loaned a man down south some money—not a very big sum. I told him that when- ever I should need it I would let him know and he could pay me the money. I need some money now, so I shall let him know, and 1 would like to have you transact the business for me.” “My good friend,” replied the bank- er, “you have no claim on that money You can’t hold that man to that loan. You say it has been -thirty-five years since you loaned it to him? The statute of limitations has run against that loan years and years ago.” “Sir,” replied the.southerner, “the man to whom I loaned that money is a gentleman. . The statute of limita- tions never runs against a gentleman.” So the banker sent for the money, and within a reasonable time there- There was a courtly gentleman at the other end of the transaction also. — Kansas City Journal.

LIFE IN ICELAND. Farmhouses Are B: of Turf. Often Have Earthen Floors. The guest room in the Iceland farm- bouse: contained a narrow bed, a big round table and an organ made in Brattleboro, Vt.
