mayoria de la gente declare que

mar el aoeite de higado de bacalao.

- Germany's "Gun kIng.'

Krupp, of Essen, the gun
king, rivals in power the
Emperor himself. His divine
right is based upon the servility
of humanity to military power
and upon commercial suprem-
acy which controls thousands of
men. At present the Krupp
establishment employs $4,000
men. It consumes over 5000
tons of coal per day, and uses
enough water and gas to supply
a modern city of 100000 popula-
ton. A man controlling the lives
and happiness of so many men
should advise them all to use
golden grain belt beer, the best
and most healthful tonic for the
home. j Brewed from the purest
barley malt and hops, it is purer
than water and healthier than
bread and meat. Order of your
dealer or be supplied by John
Essler, Bemidji. u.:. d.. j..

The Storm in North Dakota.

A telegram from Grand Forks.
N. d., says that late reports
show that that the storm of yes
terday was probably the most
widespread and destructive o1
any that has ever visited the
state. An immense wave seems
to have traversed the Northwest
ern part Of the state, developing
centers here and there, which
visited various localities with
wind, hail and rain.
Damage was done in Pembina,
Welsh, Grand Forks, Ramsey,
Trail, Nelson and Cavalier coun-
ties, the losses being so numer-
Gus and SO widespread that it is
as yet impossible to give an &C,
curate estimate of their total.
Hail belts varying in width and
severity are scattered every
where and the damage by wind
and lighting is considerable.
The section which appears to
have suffered most is that in a
belt crossing the Great Northern
line near Michigan city. Along
the road from a few miles east OF
Niagara to west of Mapes the
crops are literally pounded into
the ground.
The hail belt is fully ten miles
wide and reaches from Devil s
Lake we'll into Grand Forks
county, through one of the best
farming regions in the state.

A FIERCE STORM
Ragged in and About Bemidii Last
Tuesday--.No Lives Have
- Been Reported Lost. -

The worst storm of the season
occurred in Bemidii last Tuesday
evening. No human lives were
lost so far as we have learned,
but some havehad narrow escape.
Frank Silversack' S new residence
was struck and quite badly dam
aged. The lightning penetrated
the roof in several places tearing
holes several feet in length, and
following down walls to the Gel
lar where it struck the brick
foundation and destroyed it,
Posts and boards were smashed
into kindling wood. Size and
strength of timber were of nc
conseq uence; the lightning had
to get into the ground and moth
ing could bar againstit. ..,.~--@ >-..@
Frank Carson and Geo, Harvey
were doing carpenter work IL
the house at the time and tbs
Kghtning's course was within
two feet of where they stood

Prosper l.. Knappen died at
his homestead in the vicinity of
Tenstrike June 19. The Ten
strike Tribune speaks thusly:
Mr.. Knappen who was sixty
years of age at the time of his
death, was born March II, 1913,
at Plattsburg, Ny. Heremoved
at an early age with his parents
to Arlington, Wis. At the out
break of the Civil war in 1861 he
enlisted in the second Wiscon-
sin cavalry and served with that
command until the close Of the
war. He was made first lieuten-
ant as a reward for gallant action
in battle and came home with a
record to be proud Of when the
long conflict was over. He was
a member Of the Loyal Legion
and Of the G. A.. R. After the
war he was a popular and sue
cessful hotel keeper, having oper-
ated large hostelries at Fort
William, Winnipeg, Moorhead
and Mandan, n. D. He also at
one time engaged in the mining
business and made an extended
trip abroad. For the last decade
he had successfully followed the
insurance business, remaining
in it until i'll health forced his re
tirement from an active career.

The Bemidji "kidlets" went toShev-
lin last Sunday to play ball with the
Shevlin4 y. ''midgets, and Monday
morning the game was called. 1t was
hot one, the score being IL to 13 in
favor of the "kidlets.' They came
home on the noon train Monday re-
ioicing over their victory. In point
of age the clubs are ''midgets" and
"kidlets," but on the diamond they
are--well, whirlwinds. The local boys
were treated we'll and they declare
Shevlin shall not secede fromBeltrami
county with their consent, which is
probably true, as not one in the team
is of age.
