perity to this country has been duly en-
acted, and the favorable results predicted
to flow therefrom have been attained in
even greater measure than we could
after such nightmare of distress, hope
for. Even before any legislation was
passed, the very fact that Mckinley had
been elected and that the Republican par
ty was again in power, restored conf
dence, brought money into active USE and
revived business throughout the country.
Since 1895 all mills, furnaces, factories
and shops, which had remained idle or
been operated on reduced time during
Cleveland's administration, have been
opened and operated at full time and to
their full capacity, with no lack of funds
at lower rate of interest than ever before
And ample markets at good prices have
been found for the enormous output, at
home and abroad. The American manu-
facturer has not only more than held his
ground at home, but he has extended the
field of his operations and has acquired
foothold and markets abroad as never
before.
Foreign Trade.
1.-THE increase in our foreign commerce
has been marvellous and beyond all prec-

following table of our exports and imports

CITIZENS POSSE ATTACK OUTLAWS
Two Men Pursue the Outlaws and are
 Killed at Their Camp.

A report from Navajo Springs says: The details of a terrible fight from St. Johns, fifty miles south of this point, have been received. The battle oc- cured near Pine Springs between seven we'll mounted desperadoes, armed with Mausers, and posse of St. Johns citizens, the result being the capture of two of the outlaws and the death of two of the posse, Gus Gibbons and Frank Leseur, both young and promi- nent citizens of St. Johns.
 After pursuing the outlaws from Springerville, a distance of twenty eight miles, the St. Johns citizens took up the trail and pressed them so hard that two of the bandits were captured and hound, while horse was shot from under third. The remaining five effected their escape All but two of the posse returned with rhe prisoners. but Leseur and Gibbons. after pursuing the outlaws for twenty-five miles through scrub cedars and deep canyons, suddenly came upon their camp. At the sight of the officers the bandits opened fire, killing both the pursuing parties. Then they stripped the bodies of valuables, leaving the pockets turned inside out, and taking the off cers' horses, saddles and firearms.
 The victims of the battle were mem- bers of prominent families. Frank being the son of J. Leseur of the mercantile firm of that name, and Gus, recently from England, being the son of w. H. Gibbons. The gang had been stealing cattle in various parts of the country.

BEMIDJI AND HER BEARS.
VNTORD comes from Washington
MN that Admiral Dewey's bear, the

III that Admiral DeWey'S bear, the
Bemidji bear, is dead. The
admiral turned him over to the ZOO
logical garden at the national capf-
tai and heartless keepers put him into
the pit along with full-groWn bears,
monsters Of every cline, and the ca
tastrophe followed soon after. He
was only an infant, an ursus minor,
as it were, but he had in his young
heart the naughty, invincible spirit Of
the Northwest; he realized that he
stood for Bemidji, Betnidii, the peer
less and proud; he turned his back
on nothing that bore the name of
bear; young, faithful and hopeless,
all regardless Of the conspiracy
against his life that he knew was
bruin' around him, he rushed in
among the throng Of enemies and
when the keepers came in the morning
he was rot a bear, but bear meat.
For this calamity, tragedy and dis
grace Bemidji is herself responsible.
This comes OF sending q boy bear out
into the world to represent a name
that rumbles on the ear like the dis
tant rumble of an avalanche, mingled
with the colossal harmony of an or
gan that has smokestacks for pipes
Bemidji. Next time send out an
adult bear--one of those full-grown
monsters that lurk so plentiful in the
inpenetrable forests and horrid caves
of Beltrami county one of those ur-
sine terrors by whose side the lion
of the South African yeldt and the
royal tiger of Bengal look like the
toy dogs that ladies loye-send one
OF those; and then shall the name of
Bemidii go rumbling and ricocheting
down the corridors of fame like cart
load of cobblestones rolling down
toboggan slide. Will Bemidj oblivi-
Gus of her fame and what her friends
expect OF her, leave the matter as it |
stands? The bare thought of it is in
tolerable. OF course she won't. 't.-Du-

MAKES BIG PRICE FOR WOOD.

WE wonder if the farmers around
MN Bemidji who sell their wood
for few dollarsper cord real
ize that they might with q little extra
work get a hundred per cent more for
this product? This they can do by
reducing the wood to charcoal before
selling. There is a big demand for
charcoal in the bakeries, hotels and
/ blacksmith shops, not only of Bemid-
il, but of the state. Crookston is a
hungry customer, using ton upon ton
per year.
At present Princeton is the leading
charcoal market of the state, and most
of the charcoal used in Bemidji comes
from there. We see no reason why
such market cannot be established
in this county. There is no sense in
shipping such fuel into Beltramicoun-
ty. We have all kinds OF timber; all
we need is an intelligent disposal OF
4 the same.
OF course hardwood makes the best
charcoal, but popple, elm, birch and
other soft woods makes good coal.
Even black jack will do, but 1t is not
very desirable. The farmer who has
such timber to sell should give this
matter an investig gation. The success
ful farmer is he who sells his prod
ucts in the form which brings the most
money at least expense. It is esti-
mated that by turning wood into char
coal the woodsman gets at least $50
per cord for the same.
Making charcoal requires some prac-
tice, but little work or expense. a pit
must be dug, the wood piled carefully,
set afre, then covered tightly with
dirt and not opened until the fire is
all out. It is q simple process, but
one which means much to those who
have wood to burn and to sell.

G. M. CARSON PASSES AWAY.

Il The sad and sudden death OF G. M.
4 Carson, the much honored and we'll
known pioneer citizen OF Bemidji, was
a terrible shock to this community
when the awful truth was learned.
Expressions OF profound sorrow were
heard on every hand Tuesday morning
when it was told how during the pre-
yious night there passed away noble
man, a worthy citizen, an indulgent
father and a tender husband. There
was sadness on every face, for Mr..
Carson was beloved by all who knew
him, and few are they who knew him
not.
Over a month ago Mr.. Carson took
TO his bed with typhoid fever. He
was worn out with taking care Of his
son who had that disease, and coupled
with his age and stoItness,i it was gem
orally thought that Mr.. Carson would
have a hard fight for his life. But he
stood the strain OF the fever nicely,
and was apparently getting well.
But for long time he had been
troubled by his heart, and the weak
ness OF that organ manifested itself
Monday night.
He was feeling and looking SO well
that evening that the usual watchers
were thought unnecessary, and only
his faithful wife and son Evan were
with him. About twelve o'clock he
called to his wife to fan him as he had
difficulty il getting his breath. A few
seconds afterwards he sank back upon
his pillows and passed calmly away.
Judge Carson, as he was commonly
called, was born in Ohio in 1889,
moved to Iowa in 1850, came to this
state in 1878, and settled on farm ia
Becker county. For four years he
was deputy sheriff Of that county and
held the Office of justice OF the peace
most OF the time while there. He
moved to this county with his family
o little over eight years ago, being
one of the first white men to build in
this vicinity. The Log Cabin House
which he erected on the shore of Lake
was the first hotel, and was
for several years popular stopping
place with the early hunters and trav-
alers.
He has always been active in public
~ ~. y y % w Il
affairs and leader in the republican
party. He has held several public Of
fees; and for two years has been Judge
Of the probate court of Beltrami
county. At the recent election he was
reelected by handsome vote which
,estified to his popularity throughout
he county. As an officer and a citi-
zen his record has ever been above

E., M. E. and Evan Carson and one

The funeral services will be held at
the city hall next Saturday afternoon,
at one o'clock. The Masonic Order,

TEDDY REFUSED TO REMOVE VAN WICK No Proof of WiIIfuI Violation
 of Law THE ICE TRUST PROCEEDINGS Governor Says That Existing Laws Are Adequate to Deal With the Ques- tion-Refers to His Message Re-
 eardns Corporations.
THE ICE TRUST PROCEEDINGS

Albany, N. r., November Ex-Governor Roosevelt tonight denied the application for the removal from office of Mayor Rob- ert A. Van Wyck of New York city on the grounds that while he was undoubtedly Q stockholder in the American Ice Company, there had been no proof that he wilfully violated the law forbiddlng public officer to be a stockholder in a corporation hay ing dealings with his municipality.
 The Governors memorandum says:
 'I concur In the Attorney Generals opin- ion. My judgment Is that the so-called ice trust Is not corporation in which the Mayor of New York should have stock. But no proof has been offered of any will full violation of law on the part of Mayor Van Wyck such as would justify the dras- tic measure ot removing him from office.
 '"rhe normal remedy for bad government must be an appeal to the people, and only in wholly exceptional cases Is it desirable to substitute for this appeal to the people an appeal to the power of removal or the power of impeachment. The case is there- fore dismissed"
 In giving out his decision the Governor said:
 There has not been an hours unneces- SdTy uelay on the part or the state aulnOTl- ties. Fifty days elapsed from June 2, when the World first filed its charges, until July N, when its amended complaint put those charges in final form, and forty-two days elapsed from August 27, when these charges were served upon the Mayor, until Septem- Der 27, when the Mayor filed his answer. The delay since then has been solely due to the fact that the World at that time discharged the counsel which it formerly employed and refused to go on with the cases, leaving it completely in the air for the time being.
 Although the matter of trusts Is not di- recty involved in this decision l wish to point out that the existing law of the State even providing that under 1t the Attorney Generals action against the ice corpora ton should be successful, is not adequate In my last annual message to the Legisla- ture I recommended the adoption of a sys- tenn which would secure reasonable public ity of such facts concerning corporations as the public has right to know and req sonable restriction of their powers. Events have shown especially in view of what has occurred in connection with the ice trust that stronger action than what l recom- mended should be taken. Not only should such provisions concerning corporations as above mentioned be enacted into law, but there should be lodged somewhere the pow CT to prescribe the conditions under which foreign and domestic corporations can do business in this State and to deprive them of their charters if they at any time vio- late these conditions.

"Quo Vadis."

"Quo Vadfs,' the dramatization of Henry Sienkiewicz's famous novel of the same name was presented last night at the audi torium by a strong company, and proved one of the best attractions of the season.
 The presentation of this interesting drama wos in every particular first-class, the scenic effects being especially good.
 The story of the drama follows that of the book, beginning in the gardens of Aulus Plautius, and ending in the arena before the Emperor Nero's box. Vicinius noble youth of Rome, sees and loves the Chris tan maiden, Lygia, who, though "a hostage and therefore an imperiol ward, is living at the house of Aulus. Petronius, the Elm peror's fayorite and uncle to Vicinius, uses his influence with Nero to have Lygia taken away from Aulus' house and carried to the palace.
 While at the palace Lygia is accused Of bewitching Nero's child and she is con- demned to death, but is rescued by Ursus, a gigantic Lygian, who always guards her. She is hidden among the Christians, and Vicinius in his search for her, meets the Apostle Peter and is converted. Nero myrmidons discover the whereabouts of the girl and she is tied to the horns of mad bull and led into the arena to be tortured before her lover, but Ursus, exerting all his marvellous strength, twists the neck Of the animal and at the demand Of the populace the Pretorian guard and senators, Nero pardons her, Ursus and Vicinius.
 Quo Vardis will be repeated at matinee

ENGAGEMENT ANNOUNCED.
Prince Louis Napoleon Bonaparte To
 Wed Grand Duchess Helen.

New York, November 23.-A dispatch to the Journal and Advertiser form St. Petersburg says:
 "The betrothal of Prince Louis Napolen Bonaparte to Grand Duchess Helen, daugh- ter of the Grand Duke Vladimir is official ly announced. It cannot fail to strengthen the Bonapartist cause in France and cor respondingly weaken the republican gov ernment. Prince Louis, who has been serv- ing for the last fifteen years in the Rus sian army, is a general of cavalry as the head of the crack regiment of the Czarina s Lancers of the Guard. He has all along been treated at the court as a member of the Russian imperial family circle and en- joys in a particular degree the friendship of the CZar.
 "The younger of the two sons of the late Prince Jerome Napoleon, who made him the heir to his political rights, having dis inherited and disowned the elder son, Vic tor, his career appeals to the French peo- pie, who have always had a weakness for the soldier on horseback" whom they now find represented in the Russian cayal- ry officer Prince Louis has long been at tentive to the Grand Duchess Helen, a wayward princess, who two years ago crea- ted a sensation by jilting the heir to the throne of Baden on the eve Of .La day appointed for the wedding, and who has since been credited with an infatuation for her cousin, Grand Duke Michael, younger brother and heir to the CZar.
 "Inasmuch as the orthodox Russian church strictly prohibits marriages between first cousins, the duchess has now appar- ently made up her mind that the next best thing is to become a possible EnpSGss of the French"
