POROOOOOOOOOOQOO®PT® POPVPOPPPOVIVPPPIVVVPPVODPIVIPVPPIVPIOVOVOPVIVPPDPOOOOO FRANCIS TRUTH-—A DIVINE HEALER UP TO DATE. Mr. “Francis Truth,” divine healer, has recently been arrested in San Francisco. This is no new experi- ence, with him, however, since he has undergone similar experiences at Jacksonville, Denver, New York and no doubt other cities. In March, 1895, a half page advertisement ap- pear=d in eastern newspapers, set- ting forth the wonderful powers of “Francis Truth.” - This was not the man’s real name, but was assumed as indicating the chief and most re- splendent trait of his mellow char- acter; his ‘actual name seems to be N. H. Bemis. Previous to setting up as a “divine healer,” he was said to be a $20 a week clerk. He looked about to see how .this could be bet- tered. The large profits made by medical charlatans stimulated his imagination. He set up a healing establishment of his own. Within a few weeks his enterprise assumed enormous proportions. Very shortly afterwards he was arrested on the charge of using the mails for fraudu- lent purposes. When his case came up for trial he retracted his first plea of *“not guilty’” and changed it to “guilty.” On five charges he was fined the maximum penalty for each; he paid the fines—$2,500 in all. He could afford it. Between the times of his arrest and of his pleading guil- ty over 30,000 letters addressed to him, and all of which were believed to contain money, accumulated in the post office. These were returned to their senders. PPHOOPOPOOPOOOOOO & Politics and Politicians. @ POOOPOOOPOPOOOOO®® The first election of State officers in Arizona will be held December 12. Dan Lawler has filed as a demo- cratic candidate for U. S. senator from Minnesota. John J. Tobin, of Montrose, is men- tioned for the Democratic nomina- tion for governor of Colorado. Lieutenant Governor Burdick of North Dakota is expected to become a candidate for the Republican nomi- nation for governor next year. Omaha is the latest and one of the most notable additions to the long list of American cities which have adopted the commission plan of gov- ernment. Chicago boasts of the first club formed in the West to further the candidacy of Governor Woodrow Wil- son of New Jersey for the Democrat- ic presidential nomination. Representative George W. Norris, of the Fifth Nebraska district, one of the insurgent leaders of the House, has begun his fight to supplant Nor- ris Brown in the Senate. Congressman Andrew J. Barchfeld, who represents the Thirty-second district of Pennsylvania, is the chotce of the “regular” Republican organi- zation for mayor of Pittsburgh. Governor Hoke Smith of Georgia has announced his intention to re- tire from office early in November, 80 as to be ready to assume his dut- ies as United States senator when Congress convenes. Friends of Dr. David Jayne Hill, who has just retired from the Ameri- can embassadorship at Berlin, are said to be urging him to become a candidate for the Republican nomi- nation for governor of New York next year. James Hamilton Lewis, who was a member of Congress from the State of Washington some years ago' and who now resides in Chicago, has an- nounced his candidacy for the seat of Shelby M. Cullom in the United States senate. William H. Andrews, who is likely to be one of the first United States senators from New Mexico, was a prominent dry goods merchant in Cincinnati before he removed to the Southwest to engage in railroad building. All signs point to a het fight in Texas for the seat of United States Senator Joseph W. Bailey. Among those who are expected to get into the race are former Governor Thom- as M. Campbell, Congressmen Morris Sheppard and C. B. Randall, and Gov- ernor O. B. Colquitt. A spirited senatorial contest is in prospect in Oklahoma. Senator Ow- en, whose term will end‘a year from next March, will be a candidate for re-election. His chief opponent will be former Governor Haskell. A third candidate is Justice Williams of the Oklahoma supreme court, who believes that the fight between Owen and Haskell will be so bitter that a third candidate will have a good chance to capture the toga. The governor of the new. State of New Mexico will receive a salary of $5,000 a year, while the governor of the sister State of Arizona will draw but $3,500 a year. The governor of New Mexico will be elected for four years, while the governor of Arizona will hold office but two years. The Arizona executive, however, may be re-elected for a second term, while rthe constitution of New Mexico makes the governor and other State officials ineligible for re-election. POOPPOOOOOOOOO®OO ® THE “LEADING” PAPER. ¢ POPPOOOPORPOOOOO®S Oue of the strongest arguments in favor of the use of advertising space in daily newspapers is presented by the history of the Black Silk Stove Polish Works of ‘Sterling, Illinois. This company was established in 1883 and manufactured a stove pol- ish that was different and far super- ior to the ordinary kind. For many years they followed the usual plan of marketing goods. Sales- men called on the jobbers and dealers and urged them to purchase. It was not difficult to convince the dealer by demonstration of the superior qualities of the polish. Often a hard- ware dealer bought a supply suffi- cient to black the sample stoves on his floor as he was particularly anx- jous to have these present the best possible appearance. The dealer, however, was not inclined to put in a stock of the small cans as he could make a larger profit on other brands —and very few people knew anything about Black Silk Stove Polish. Mr. L. K. Wynn, the president of the company therefore decided to educate the people to the merits of his product. He knew that if a wom- an once tried Black Silk Stove Polish she would insist upon having it thereafter and a campaign of adver- tising was decided upon. Mr. Porter of the Taylor Critchfield Co., of Chicago, was consulted and advised a campaign covering state by state, using the leading local paper in each city. This campaign has proved a great success and demon- strates what advertising in local pa- pers will do when backed up with an article of merit.

Ishowed it to my neighbors and they are surprised about Beltrami county. 1 am a homesteader from Beltrami county on the upper Red Lake on Moose Creek, two miles west of Tamarack. I have obtained six months leave of absence from my place -here where I am working in a large general merchandise establish- ment in a suburb of Chicago. I am earning good wages, but that country of yours up there in Beltrami county is better than any other to me and my family. We came out to Bel- trami four years ago and lived on our homestead.

Hobble and tube skirts are sentenced to discard, but the narrow- ness of the new skirts is so marked that they differ but little from the original creations. While the skirts are maintaining their scantiness, the coats of suits are but little longer. Two inches in some instances and three in others, constitute the elon- gation. They are of the semi-loose variety, few of them fitting the form. The narrow skirt pleases women be- cause of the. absence of folds and be- cause of its shortness, it is more san- itary. Clothing should be cheaper this winter than last, because less cloth is required in making up wom- en’s suits.—Twin City Commercial Bulletin. While drilling a well on the Shev- lin-Mathieu Lumber Co.’s mill prop- erty this week, a ledge of copper bearing rock, fully 15 feet in depth was encountered, through the entire course of which flakes of the metal were washed out by the pressure of water forced through the drill shaft. The drill is of hardened steel and has a three inch face or cutting edge. The rock disclosing the mineral de- posit is of the regular copper bearing type and evidences a large percentage of the metal though lying at a con- siderable distance from the surface, the well having been fully 85 feet deep ere the rock was encountered. Whether or not the ledge extends to any great distance surrounding is not known and in order that a more accurate decision might be arrived at S0 as to the relative value of the de- posit it would necessitate the sinking of additional drill holes.—Spooner Northern News. The following has been received from E. S. Canman, at the head of the Industrial Film Sydicate of St. Paul, which concern is taking mov- ing pictures of Minnesota towns: “We have the pleasure of informing you that we have decided to include Bemidji in a new series of films we are now taking of various cities showing the public in motion -pie- tures, the beauties, advantages and realities of our civic life and indus- tries. This picture will be unique in the art and will show true to life, your interests, events, institutions and the people as they really are. Immediately after we take your city it is our intention to show this pic- ture at your local theater and then further exhibit it throughout the state and country among our series of films, now so interesting the public, under the title of ‘Civic America’; this is our profit in this enterprise, there being fio expense to your city further than such support as your merchants and industries might give for their own personal representation and the assistance we require to have interesting events carried out in the streets while we are taking the city, such as parades, fire runs, etc.” R R R R R R R b PERSONALS. @ 0000000000000 006060 J.
