Probable Position of United_States. WAR SPIRIT SPREADING Turkey's Action May Draw Ialy and Others Into Gonflict, ‘Washington, Oct. 31.—Turkey's en- trance into the field of warlike opera- tions, though not unexpected, has caused a sensation in official circles here because of its probable farreach- ing effect. Probably no one factor in the great European struggle is re- garded so uncertain in quantity and quality as the Turkish empire. The probability that by Turkey’s act of war against Russia the Balkan states may be drawn into the vortex of the great conflict, thereby cutting offt a vast quantity of food supplies which it had been expected would go to the maintenance of the Northern European countries during the war, has brought home to the officials here a realization of the very close and in- tense interest of the ['nited States in the latest development. The result of Turkey's action, as viewed by the military bxperts here from a purely technical point of view, will be greatly to embarrass Russia at the outset. In official Washington for months it has been known that the Ottoman government was preparing for mili- tary operations. No dispatches have been received from Constantinople in several days. Long on Verge of Outbreak. Ever since the outbreak of the Eu- ropean war official dispatches from Ambassador Morgenthau have told of the slight thread on which the issue of war or a maintenance of neutrality hung in Turkey. He has reported the rise and fall in the strength of the war party, the efforts of the large commercial interests of Turkey, al- ready weakened by previous wars, to preserve Turkey's neutrality and of ‘the critical conversations between the Turkish foreign office and the diplo- matic representatives of the belliger- ent countries. Diplomatic representatives in Wash- ington of the allied powers have be- lleved from the outset that as soon as Turkey had fully prepared ther army and navy for the conflict she would cast the die for war. Great Britain. Russia and France have, through their ambassadors, made it plain to Turk it is understood, what the consequence of her entry might be—the Anglo-Freach fleet, which has been comparatively unoc- cupied in the Mediterranean, would bombard the ports of Asia Minor, Greece probably would join the allies against Turkey, the Balkan states be drawn into the imbroglio. and the prospect that Italy might be found fighting Turkey as well. COFFIN AND GRAVE READY Aged Man Kills Divorced Wife and Ends His Own Life. Minneapolis, Oct. 31.—Jacob Zo- bach, seventy-two years old, shot and killed his divorced wife Anna, aged seventy-one, with a shotgun at her home in Hopkins, a suburb. Then he shot and killed himself with a revol- ver. Tn Zobach's cabin in Hopkins was found a pine coffin painted black and papers discovered which showed he had purchased a lot in Mealy ceme- tery at Hopkins recently. According to investigators Zobach three years ago entered the home of his former wife and threatened to kill her, but his son interfered. Last week, it is said, Zobach wrote her a letter saying he was sorry for the dis- cord which had entered their lives and had resulted in a divorce at Oma- ha ten years ago and set forth his willingness to patch up their trou- bles. Zobach appeared outside the home of his former wife at 5 o'clock in the morning and was seen to raise a shot- gun and fire through the window as Mrs. Zobach was preparing breakfast. The woman, shot in the left side, died almost instantly. The sons, Edward and Arthur, ran out and found their father dead at the corner of the house. DETROIT ALDERMAN FREED| : Acquittal Expected to End Cases Against Others. Detroit, Mich., Oct. 31.—Alderman Thomas E. Glinnzn. former council- manic leader and one of several De- troit aldermen arrested in a sensatlon- al alleged graft exposure in July, 1912, has been acquitted in recorder’s court. Glinnan was the only alderman to | . reach trial and his acquittal. it is said, will end the cases against the other officials.

Constantinople, Oct. 31.—In antici- pation of the possible invasion of Egyptian territory British Ambassa- dor Mallet, acting under instructions from his government, has plainly in- formed the grand vizier that if the Turks cross the frontier it would mean war with the entente powers. It is understood that the embassy of the allied powers, fearing a rup- ture, has already made the necessary arrangements for the departure of the diplomatic representatives. RUSSIAN STEAMER IS SUNK Torpedoed by Turkish Cruiser Goeben Off Crimean Port. London, Oct. 31.—A Petrograd dis- patch to Reuter’s Telegram company says: “A dispatch from Kertche, a sea- port in the Crimea, reports that near Takol lighthouse the Russian steam- er Yalta from the Caucasus was sunk by a torpedo launched by the Turk- ish cruiser Goeben. The crew and pasengers were saved. “The steamer Kazbek, which went to the rescue, was struck by two tor- pedoes and sank. Many persons aboard were drowned.” ANSWER TO C. 0. MOON’S LETTER OF DECEPTION. At the request of many friends and voters, I herewith submit for care- ful perusal, by the voters of Bel- trami County, my answer to the statements made by Mr. Moon in his circular letter of recent date, rela- tive to the last election and the pres- ent campaign. Mr. Moon claims that I collected tees which rightfully belonged -to him: @ In this connection I wish to say that Mr. Moon was not elected to the office of Register of Deeds, neither did he qualify or furnish bond until a few days prior to taking charge of the office, hence he had no moral or legal right to any of the proceeds of the office, neither did he ask for same, and then under the conditions of my bond I was in duty bound to hold the office and protect the records until my successor was qualified to accept said office. Mr. Moon denies having any in- terest in the Bemidji Abstract Com- pany, and also denies that said Ab- stract Company, in any way occu- pies any part of his office or the of- fice of the Register of Deeds. The above statement I consider un- true and his letter to the voters, rela- tive thereto is full of deception, as Mr. Moon was financially interested (and so is his deputy, Mr. J. J. Conger) in the Bemidji Abstract Company and the Bemidji Abstract Company is now occupying the office of the Register of Deeds, and all-ab- stracts are compiled and written up in his office; these arc facts, and if the public is in doubt, verify the facts by calling for abstract informa- tion over the telephone and listen to who answers same. Now then, I have always maintain- ed that the Abstract office should oc- cupy the Register of Deeds office, and during my encumbency in said office and four years prior to my pur- chasing interest in abstract business, I allowed with pleasure the Abstract Company the privileges of my office, believe the public benefited thereby; however, I never dodged HOW’S THIS?

PETITION FOR VACATING STREETS AND ALLEYS— Where as there has been presented to the City council of the City of Bemidji, i petition in writing praying he vacation of certrin streets and in the Bemidji Townsite and Im- provement Company's thjrd addition of Bemidji as herein after specifically de- scribed, and the City Council after duly considering said petition, having order- ed it to be filed in this office. Now, therefore, notice is hereby given to the’ persons irterested, that said pe- tition, a copy of which is as follows: “To the Honorable’ City Council of the City of Bemidji: We, the undersigned property own- ers respectfully petition your honorable body to vacate the following streets, avenues and alleys in the Bemidji Town- e and [mprovement Company’s Third ldition to Bemidji, viz: Myrtle Street, Avenue North of Fourteenth Lake Boulevard North of Four- teenth street, East of Doud Avenue, the alley running North and South through blocks one (1) and two (2) of said Third Addition, and the alley running North and South through blocks three (3) of said Third addition, said ave- nues, streets and alleys having been together with the lands adjoining deed- ed to the State of Minnesota for a Nor- mal School Site, and we further rep- resent that we are owners of all pro- perly lying and being within one-forty physicians, with only temporary re- werp, Ohio. “A friend advised me to try Chamberlain’s Tablets, which I did, and continued to use them for one year, and they completely cured me, not only of the stomach trouble but also of the constipation.” For _sale hy‘#A“ Dealers. {leys so sought e Y > Ant-" lie;* saya Mra.Hebter Walte, of ABL ) o ambor 1h tha iy hall i S |4ta 1024-31-117-14 mile south of streets, avenues and al- to be vacated.” Will be heard by the said council at the coun- of Bemidji, at the regular meeting there- of, on Monday, the 23rd day of Novem- ber," at the hour of eight o'clock on said day, at which time and place all per- sons interested may show cause, if any there be, why said streets and alleys sShould not be vacated.

However, if his statement be true, Be accepted good momey for ab- abstracts, until he ‘acquired an in- terest in the present Abstract Com- pany. Relative to the aforesaid er- rors, 1 beg to advise that the same efficient help that I schooled are now employed by Mr. Moon, and he says that “he couldn’t keep house with- out them.” As to Mr. Moon’s statement in the last issue of the Sentinel, wherein he ‘states that I am the President of the Beltrami Abstract Company at the' present time, will say that this is another one of Mr. Moon’s illu- sions. He knows, you know, and ev- erybody knows that the Beltrami County Abstract Company is no more, having sold its entirety to the Be- midji Abstract Company, of which Mr. Moon was a member. In the same issue Mr. Moon recites that when the office was turned over to him, his first act was to throw the Beltrami County Abstract Com- pany out, and at that time he stated that his constituents demanded this action, and that the abstract office was detrimental to the best interests of he people; and he did; he threw them out IN ORDER TO LET THE BEMIDJI ABSTRACT COMPANY IN. DO YOU GET IT? Mr. Moon concludes his circular letter by asserting that he is “ad- verse to advancing himself to any public position.” It’s a shame, isn’t it, to burden one with such responsi- bilities, when there are so many good men that would greatly appreciate the position, and are earnestly work- ing to that end. Mr. Moon is simply “ROCKING THE -BOAT,” and I hope the public realizes this, and that all political passengers who cannot row, but in- sist on dancing along the gunwale, will be chucked overboard. I for one will greatly appreciate your support next TUESDAY, at the polls, for the office of Register of Deeds. Yours very sincerely, J. 0. HARRIS, Candidate for Register of Deeds.

LEONARD H.- NORD who was nominated by the largest vote at the recent primaries for state senator of this 62 nd district, com- posing Beltrami and Koochiching counties, is of Norwegian parentase and emigrated to this country and settled in Minnesota in 1885. After many years recidence in Minnea- polis he moved iuto this district, where he became intimately ac- quainted with its pioneer life, as a homesteader and colonizer. During these years he cruised over this dis- trict so thoroughly that there are very few townships in either Bel- trami or Koochiching counties that he did not cover. - This valuable ex- periénce has given to Mr. Nord first hand knowledge of the needs of this district, so that if he is elected to represent it in the state senate he will be able to fully inform the law makers of that body, of the pressing needs of this district from his own personal experience as to roads, drainage, clearing, state furnishing dynamite to settlers at cost, schools, ete. Mr. Nord will also strongly advo- cate some feasible plan whereby long time state loans can be made to set- tlers for improvement purposes, at a low rate of interest. Mr. Nord is alive to the necessity of thoroughly trained teachers for our rural as well as our city schools, and will pledge himself to work ear- nestly for an adequate appropriation for the normal school of this district, the site for which had already been selected in *I%e'mia_ji. ¥ PAID ADVERTISEMENT.
