RAILROAD BRINGS A RUSH.
Bemidji Preparing for a Big Boom
In the Spring.

Special to the Globe.
BEMIDJI, Dec. 5.-The construction
work on the Great Northern railway
in this county is now about to actually
begin. The first twenty miles out OF
Fosston in this direction has been sub
let by Guthrie & Co., and other con-
tracts are now in hand that will be
closed up within the next ten days.
Charles Folliet, Guthrie's superintend-
ent of construction, is here with some
under contractors, and the contract for
this portion Of the line eastward from
here to Cass lake will probably be let
to them. HauSer Bros, of Chicago, Sc
cured the contract from here westward
for ten miles, and are expected in here
within a few days to set up camp.
Bemidj1 has been such a beautiful and
lazy town for the past two years that
her inhabitants can hardly be brought
to think that hustling days are before
them, although they are putting up all
sorts of buildings in anticipation of a
rush in the spring. The utmost expe-
dition is promisd to the construction
of this new line, and there is every
prospect that July l will see it COM
pleted into West Superior.
Ever since the rush of two years
ago to the Red lake reservation there
have been three or four locators doing
business in the county, but the ones
here now say that there has been so
much Of an immigration this fall and
winter that they have hard work to
find claims to suit that are not already
covered by homestead entries, though
many of these entered have not been
occupied and are subject to contest.
The pine woods adjacent to this place
are full of settlers, and the merchants
notice already a material difference
between the trade of this year and that
Of year ago. This years trade is 200
per cent heavier.
The Beltrami Eagle announced two
weeks ago that it would move to the
western part Of the county, but it has
now changed is mind. and will con-
tinue at Bemidji, where it's editor
thinks the coming center of business
in the county is to be.

level remunerative to labor. And yet
here are our unprotected farmers rails
ing their grains and meats and send
ing them to Europe, across 5000 miles
of land and sea, and creating conster-
nation among Europe's farmers, who
are clamoring for protection against
this American competition. And still
there ere those who really believe or
affect to believe that the men in the
shops and mills are SO much weaker
than their brothers on the farms that
they cannot produce in competition
with the very peoples with whom our
unsheltered farmers are successfully
competing on their own soil. Goluchow
ski strips the mask Of patriotism off
the face Of "the American system"

SPAIN IS NOT WORRIED.
Has No Fear of American Intcrfer-
ence in Cuba.

MADRID, Dec. 5.-EI Liberal, the Of
fetal organ, contends today that there
is no ground to fear that the United
States will recognize the insurgents as
belligerents, or otherwise interfere in
the settlement of the Cuban difficulty,
'inasmuCh as Spain has accorded her
colonies in the Antilles the maximum
of liberty that other powers accord to
their colonies"
Therefore" concludes El Liberal,
"the United States ought to be CRATE
full to Spain. But if Americas good
will is hampered by offensive or re-
strictive conditions, we must ignore
them and act in accordance with our
interests, our honor and sovereignty"
A member of the cabinet in the
course of an interview today, declared
that according to the communications
received by the government from Senior
de LONE, the Spanish minister at
Washington, President MCKinley's at
titude toward Spain is very gTatify-
ing" The government, continued the
cabinet minister in question, does not
believe that President Mckinley will
demand the termination of the war In
Cuba within any specified period, "for
President Mckinley knows that Spain's
first desire is a conclusion Of the war
and that she is putting forth every
effort to end It,"
The Spanish government, he further
asserted, is now studying means of mo-
bilizing the volunteers in Cuba, and
SenOr Puigcerver, the minister of
finance, is considering proposals to
raise money, which will be suhrlitted
to the cOrtes.
Senor Sagasta, the premier, is indis-
posed today and confined to his room.

AN ABUSED TRAMP.
written for the Globe.l


Mudfront Skinner, so muley
And much afraid Of toll,
Left home and friends unruly
To tramp and tread the soil.
Mudfront marked with honest fate,
With hands more soft than white
Avoided work at any rate.
Fen though he missed a bite.
Sweet rest to him was oft and sure;
He dined on hand-me-outs.
Abundance there was of air so pure,
Upon those wearied routes.
One day, when out upon stride,
He spied a house in blue,
And wondered If the maid inside
Would heed his regular cue.
Straightway to this house he went.
"Pease, ma'am," was what he said.
lunch was all by this he meant;
A job she thought instead.
'I wish" said she, this wood you'd saw
A lunch will then be given;
The saw you'll find without a flaw;
The buck is near the trtyen-"
"Then," said she, 3asplease split the wood
And pile it straight and trim;
We also have a carpet here
To beat with any limb"
Mudfront Skinner the slow man,
Most graciousiy gave thanks
To this kind-hearted woman,
Who seemed the queen of cranks.
He answered her on bended knee:
''If you should meet my pa,
Just tel him that you saw me,
But didn't see me saw"

THE SUMS CHILLY CANDoR

Here is that frankest of all the Re-
publican press, in all the ardor Of it's
fresh Republicanism and with the bap-
tismal waters hardly dry on its brow,
the New York Sun, telling President
Mckinley that his Dingley bill Is a
fiat failure as revenue getter, and
that he will not do his whole duty
as chief magistrate IF he does
not ask congress in his message to
supplement the tariff act with legisla-
ton which shall stop the deficit and
provide the government with adequate
revenue" The Suns rays are very
chilling. It tells congress that it,
neither, will do its whole duty, 'if it
fails to take up the revenue question,
promptly and boldly, and to put an
end to the ever-increasing shortage"
It calls upon Dingley and his co-com-
mitteemen to frankly admit that the
present tariff act is not perfect meas
ure as revenue producer, and tells
them plainly that they should not let
any "Micawberish procrastination
stand in the way of prompt and eff
fectual treatment of existing deficien-
cy."
And this, too, when the loyal old or
gans are facing the monthly growth
of the deficiency with assumed calm
ness, and assuring themselves and
trying to assure their readers that, if
only time enough is given the Dingley
act-a year or two-it will come out
beautifully. AS each monthly state
ment of receipts and expenditures has
come out, they have extracted what

PRISON INVESTIGATION.

The prison investigation seems to have
made out a case against Deputy Warden
Lemon as being a man of brutal instincts, to
say the least.-Chisago County News.
The La Crosse Press says While the. in
vestigation of the Saltwater state prison is
not bringing out much sensational evidence
it is well worth the trouble. 1t will serve as
warning to keep men away from the prison.
To keep men away from prison is good.
There are many men in the prison serving
their third term. If the treatment was so
terribly brutal as a few of the papers would
have us believe it strikes us that these fell
lows who come back often enjoy the sur
roundings of the Minnesota state prison. or
they would go to other states to take their
chances on the law getting a grip on them.
There are convicts who have spent over twen-
ty-one years in the prison here without
mark being recorded against them. II the
deputy warden was the brute he has been
painted by the G / o b and the discharged
guards. there is at least a possibility that
these convicts would come in for share OF
what they term Lemons brutality" The
story in a nutshell is this: If convicts be-
have themselves and obey the rules they
are not i'll treated, but, on the other hand,
well treated, and have no cause to complain.
When men are sentenced to state prison 1t
is to punish them for some crime committed,
and they are usually sentenced to hard labor.
1t is a mistaken idea that they are invited
guests, and that there is nothing too good
for them.-Stillwater Gazette.

KAISER WILL NOT INTERFERE.
Appeal of the Friends of Dresfus
Was in Vain.

PARIS, Dec. 5.-Le Jour says that.
in reply to an appeal by the family of
Capt Alfred Dreyfus to Emperor VIII
liam, begging him to declare Dreyfus
innocent of the charges made against
him, Prince Hohenlohe, the chancellor.
has replied that he has looked into the
affair, but is unable to advise Emperor
William to comply with the request.
The French newspapers generally
counsel avoidance of agitation on this
subject, and urge that justice be al
lowed to take its course, most of them
agreeing that the statement of Gen.
Elliot, the minister of war. in the
chs mber of deputies on Saturday, when
he declared that ''as soldier and the
chief of the army" he regarded the
sentence as just, has placed the honor
of the army on a plane above all dis
cuSSiOn.

by cutting her throat from ear to ear
with razor. She has been i'll during
the past six months, but was around

her home she acted peculiarly and went

CANTON, o., Dec 5.-Mother Nc
Kinley passed the fourth day of her
illness and entered upon the fourth
night with the spark of life still burn
ing dimly. There has not been a ma
terial development in her case during
the day. Her condition continued one
of steadily wasting away and the con-
stitutiOn growing weaker hour by hour
under the assault of the disease. The
family watched by the bedside all day,
prepared for the end at any moment
and sometimes feeling that it had come
as the patient was seized with sinking
spells such as they yesterday mistook
for second stroke Of paralysis. Dur
ing these attacks she would percepti-
bly, weaken, almost cease to breathe and
show scarcely sign of animation. For
the most part these spells were limit
ed to half an hour, and when they were
over she would resume the quiet re-
pose characteristic of the entire illness.
About the middle of the afternoon,
however, more serious sinking spell
occurred and lasted for two hours. Sew
eral times those keeping the vigil
thought that the last futter Of life's
flame had come. The attack pass
ed away at last, leaving the patient
almost the same as before it occurred.
There is still possibility that she
may survive the night, or even longer,
side most constantly have the least
hope of such result, They have seen
the patient weaken so steadily that
they cannot hope she will much longer
endure.
Communication was established with
the White house as soon as the presi-
dent arrived there this morning. and q
telegraph wire has been constantly
open to Washington to advise the pres
ident Of every occurrence in the sick
room. Besides this he has several
times talked with his brother Abner by
telephone.
DR.. Phillips, the attending physician,
made a number of calls during the day.
This evening he said he could report
nothing particularly new. There had
been no notable change in the patient
during the day She had continued to
grow weaker in the same manner, at
about the same rate as during the past
few days. He was satisfied that this
condition would prevail to the end.
Asked as to the prospects of her sur
viving the night, he said Yes, there
is a possibility of her living until morn
ing. Indeed, | am inclined to think
that she will. But she has been weak
ening so long that no one can make
a prediction for the future with any as
surance of certainty. The case is one
in which we must be prepared for the
end at any moment When the end
comes 1T will merely be the passing
out of the comatose condition in which
she now rests to the sleep of death
There will be no rally no more con-
scious periods, no final struggle"
The patient has taken no nOurish-
ment since Thursday. 1t cannot be
administered by ordinary methods and
the case is one in which heroic meth
DDS of administering food are not re-
garded justifiable. They could not re-
store health would be distressing and
annoying, and might hasten the end.
CANTON, o., Dec. Sat 9:45 o'clock
DR.. Phillips left Mrs Mckinley. He
said she was growing weaker rapidly
now. and he scarcely thought she
could survive the night She is in no
pain or distress, simply quietly pass
ing away.

ASSAULT AND BSTTERY.
Several Arrests Made Saturday

Saturday night and Sunday furnish
ed quite a number of arrests for as
sault and battery, a fact that means
more than one sore head in different
localities.
The Cinnamon were taken to the po-
lice station for assaulting Detective
Huihui. 1t seems that these men have
had a grudge against that officer for
some time, on account of the number
of Cinnamon he has arrested or caus-
ed to be arrested during several months
past and so when they got the chance
did their dirty work.
Herman ButZke was arrested for the
same offenSe on j. Barry. 1t is said
at the police station that Barry had
been imbibing too freely and that he
bumped into ButZke. This was not
taken in friendly light and a right
handler was the result.
There was an extra amount of swipeS
distributed in that troublesome local
ity, Kakaako, on Sunday, and among
the number badly affected by it was
Kimo who battered his wife badly. He
was arrested soon after the encounter.

from the ship H. c. Glade, was another
arrested Saturday night on the same
charge. His victim was a Japanese.
