The Fate of Robert carter.

Peoria, H., April 2S.-It is believed
in Athens that Robert Carter was muir
dered, robbed and thrown into one of
the abandoned mines in that vicinity.
He came to Athens some two months
ago from Kentucky to visit friends,
and in a few days disappeared, and has
not been seen or heard of since. He
had about $50 on his person at the
time of his disappearance. and was
that day seen in company with some
tough characters. A posse has been
organized, and is now searching some
of the abandoned shafts for his body.

Many Buildings Demolished and
Several Persons Injured.

Blum, Tex, April 27.-A tornado
passed through the eastern part Of
this place at noon to-day, destroying
several residences and a two-story
building. Fortunately but two people
were seriously hurt, one of whom
r.rnice Hanks, will die. She was

Robertson probably fatally injured;
Mrs. Robertson was hurt about the
mead. The storm started about three
miles south of town, and was nearly
two hundred yards wide. The grain
crop in the path of the storm is badly
damaged, and fruit trees are broken
and stripped of fruit. Nothing has

Houston, Tex, April 27.-To-day
there was an even heavier rainfall over
Texas than during the past ten days
and, as a consequence, small streams
are out of banks and rivers are again
rising fast. An overflow of the BraZos
is expected tonight at Hampstead, as
the Navasota will pour an immense
quantity of water into the Brazos
above that town.
At Columbus, on the Colorado river,
the Southern Pacific bridge has again
been washed away, and there will be
no trains run for several days. The
Houston & Texas Central, the Missou-

run no trains tonight, as a matter Of
precaution.
at Navasota there was a cloud-burst
to. day, four inches of rain falling i'll

had been taken from the lowlands, and
there was consequently no losses in

be one of the first to reach Nome
when the obstructing ice has broken

Arriving by Hundreds.
For the last several weeks people
have been arriving here by the hun

hotels to such an extent that it has
been difficult for transient travellers to
get accommodations. The steamship
offices have been crowded with appli-
cants for berth and freight room. and
many of the companies have been re
fusing passengers for several weeks.
Only zoo Tickets Yet AVaiiabIe.
1t is conservatively stated that there
are not more than 200 tickets available
on all the steamers that are scheduled
to leave here in May, and most of the

Of general merchandise. This probably
will be the liveliest day of The year. as
several vessels will also leave that day

The most conservative estimates OF
the traffic to Nome this year, based On
actual returns, show that 5,83S persons
have already engaged passage for the
6rst sailings of the 25 steamships, and
that these vessels have already con.
tracted for 1925 tons of merchandise

A PROFITABLE MEETING.
There Were Only Two in the Audi
ence, But Much Good
Came from 1t.

It costs more in the way of strict
morality to become a Metlakhtla In
dian than to become a citizen of the
United States. Before a man can be
admitted to the Arcadian band of civil
lied Indians he must pledge himself
not only to obey the powers that be.
but also to keep the Sabbath, to attend
divine service on that day, and, in q
word, to follow the golden rule in all
his dealings with those about him. The
first step in the civilization of these
most happy and prosperous Indians
is a bit of missionary romance, says
Youths Companion.
On a raw night in December, 1856, a
be held in London. 'Is it worth while
to have the service on such an even
ing?" asked one of those intrusted
with the management. Perhaps not, u
replied the missionary who was to
speak, 'but I don't like to shirk my
work, and as it was announced some
one might come"
The meeting was held, although the
night was black as ink and rain fell
heavily. A gentleman passing the
brightly lighted chapel in Covent gar
den, went in to take refuge from the
storm. He composed half the audience
that listened to powerful plea in be-
half of the North American Indians in
British Columbia.
'sThat was labor thrown away"
grumbled the Londoner who objected
to holding the meeting.
''Who knows?" replied the mission
ary. "It was Gods work.
That night one-half of the audience
which had listened to the appeal was
sleepless The gentleman who had
dropped in by accident had never be-
fore heard the story of the horrors of
heathenism. He could not rest. With
in a month he had sold out his business
and was on his way to engage in mis-

bian Indians, under the auspices of the

Of these Indians Mr.. j. Wallice, of
Metlakahtla. Alaska, says: ''They are
the farthest advanced in civilization of
all the Alaskan Indians, having re-
nounced all heather rites about 35
years ago. Like the Pilgrim Fathers
they left their homes in old Metlakaht-
la in order to be able to worship God
after the dictates of their own con-
science. Their religion cost them
something for they sacrificed property
of the value of $4,000 to make the

Hon. w. S. McC Clenahan, republi-
can candidate for judge OF this judi
cial district, was in the village last
evening and met a large lumber oi
our voters. Everything points to his
success in the contest, and he will re-
ceive large majority OF the votes
cast in Akeley. While Judge Holland
has many warm, personal friends in
Akeley, there is tendency to work
for Mr.. McClenahan's election on the
ground Of expediency Only last
evening we heard we'll known gem

have Judge Holland preside over GER
tain cases, and that every term OF

RApP is THE MAN.

Chas. G.. Rapp, the Swede who
looks like Frencnman, " and also
the nominee for representative from
the Legislative district comprising the
counties OF Bsltrami and Red Lake,
was born in Sweden in 1856. He came
to America in 1918 and settled in Red
Wing county to till the soil. After
attending college two years in Red
Wing he went to Chicago and into the
employ Of the large merchants Mar
shall Field & Co. But city life did
not suit him. In 1882 he iourneyed
westward and took a claim seven miles
west OF Thief River Falls, where he
roughed it several years. Later went
to St. Hilaire and engaged in the gen.
eral mercantile business. He is still
located there, where he has built up q
very successful business.
He is q strong candidate, being per-
sonally known to most OF the voters
in Red Lake county, and favorably
spoken Of by all who in this county
are acquainted with him. He is popu-
lar at home and respected abroad.
But he is. not seeking votes on his
popularity nor on his nationality He
Is the republican nominee and il will
ing to abide BY the rise or fall OF the
ticket. If elected he will vote this
winter for Knute Nelson for United
States senator. If defeated some dem
ocratic free-trader will get the vote 81
the 61st district. Mr.. Rapp however,
has that broadness Of mind which
guarantees that as a member OF the
Legislature he will work for the inter-
est of the whole district, without re-
gard to partisan pulls or sectional
preiudices. Beltrami should cast its
vote for Mr.. Rapp.

ilican party is destroyed In this coun--
ty. The whole course OF the News
In this campaign has tended to smash
parth harmony and breed dissension,
Not content with pushing itself into
republican circles it has sought to
crowd the PIONEER out. Going into
the convention, Editor Martin assisted
ia endorsing Congressman Norris and
pledging support to the whole county
ticket. In nearly every issue since the
News has been true to It's past but
false to the party and its pledges.
When the republicans nominated
their county ticket this fall, we were
confident that the nominees would all
make capable and honest officials. As
men we could gladly endorse them,
but as republicans, one or two OF
them were considered doubtful. With
us the question was then, as 1t Is now:
Can a republican newspaper support
nominees who claim to be republicans
while fighting other republican noml-
snees from congressman down? The
above quoted item from the Minneap-
oils Journal is our answer.
And according to this decision. the
only nominee on the republican tick
ct whom we cannot endorse is J. IL.
Haner, county auditor. There is no
question but what Mr.. Haner and the
News which he controls have joined
hands with the miserable purpose OF
comprising the defeat Of not only Co.
Attorney Street, but g. G. Rapp for
representative, Knute Nelson for Us
S. senator and McClenahan for
Judge. There is no question that he
and his associate Martin are doing
all in their power they can to defeat
Page Morris for congress.

THE JUDICIAL CONTEST.

The question of who to vote for for
Judge of this district is just now seri-
ously agitating the minds OF the deep
thinking voters of Itasca county. They
do not know Mr.. McClenahan and
they do know Mr.. Holland. Personal
acquaintance goes a long way toward
influencing a mans friendship with a
people as against stranger, even to
the extent that great many faults OF
the acquainted man and faults that
are hard to overlook, too----will be laid
aside for the man OF acquaintance as
against the stranger. This is the ex-
act condition confronting these two lu-
dicial candidates. Judge Holland has
been on the bench of this district Il
wears, and he has formed a large and
thorough acquaintance throughout the
district in that time. Along with this
advantage the judge has large bank
roll, and he is using much OF it IN this
campaign-rso much of it that it is hav-
ing the desired effect for the present
on very large number OF the voters.
AS we'll as the people know Holland :
unftness for this office his paid news
papers are causing them to overlook
his faults and give him aiustone more
term. :
If Judge Holland we're a poor man ian
the request for one more term for him
might be reasonable, but he Is rich;
has much property and money; holds
a heavy interest in Brainerd bank
and is old enough to go and rest IN
quiet the balance of his days.
On the other hand, Mr.. McClenahan
lis bright and able middle-aged
lawyer Of renown throughout the state.
He never sought an Office before, and
would not this time, but the repubh-
cans thought it about time a live man
was put on this bench and so they IN
sisted on little Mack making the
run, Notwithstanding he was formerly
democrat. MIR. McClenahan has
not the money nor the acquaintance
in this part of the district that his op.
ponent has, but in capability he has
by far the advantage, and Hollands
hired papers may do their best, but
