Mrs. Karen Nosen was the

Re0isters a Kick.

The following appeared in the last
issue of the Bagley Independent and
is interesting reading:
Hoist, Jan. l, 1908.
Some time last spring I sent you a
communication about county bonds,
and county division, which found it's
way into your waste basket, and prob
ably this one will meet the same fate,
but feel as though it would do me
good to relieve my mind. At the time
| sent you the communication that met
such a sad fate, there was much talk
about what good thing it was going
to be to get away from the "Be midi ii
gang" They led us to think that If
we could accomplish that then we
would have a county government in
the iaterest of order. economy and
Improvement of this part of the coun-
try, thought and said in that article
that it was possible in getting away
from the Bemidji gang to fall into the
hands of worse one in the Shevlin
or Bagley gang. What do you think?
1t seems to me that time has proven
that my suspicious were correct. Onr
commissioners are at the head of one
of the worst "gangs" that this county
or rather Beltrami county ever had.
The interests of the county cuts no
figure with them. 1t doesn' u N axe any
difference whether you have brains or
ambition enough to run a primary
school or whether you just came to
town to get an Office or whether you
are known to be constant violator
of the Law. If you belong to the gang
you stand a good chance. am not a
kicker on general principles, and I
did not ask for an Office, but don't
know how the commissioners could
have gone about it to give the new
county a blacker eye than they did.

IN THE RAILROAD CUT.

Freight Engine and Car Derailed-Two
 Locomotives Damaged.
 A through freight train from Boston to Fishkill at 4:1O a. m. yesterday col lided with two light engines at a switch in the railroad cut under the Fair street bridge. The freight engine and one car were derailed and traffic was delayed until S:S0. Two loeomo- tives were badly damaged. The Fish, kill freight engine, Engineer Harmon in charge, in taking the crossover to get on to the east bound track ran into a Northampton road freight engine No. 265, Engineer Gray in charge, which was standing on the east bound track. The latter engine was waiting to back down to the Canal dock freight yard. At this time. on the switch track run ming to the Hoyt Beef & Produce conl- pany's store house, stood yard switch ing engine No. 70, incharge of Engineer Henry Gamester and Fireman Keegan, both of this city. The switching engine stood by the side of the unattached en- zine, but on the opposite side of it from that toward which the Flshkill freight was approaching on the cross over.
 In the twinkling of an eye almost the Ffshkill engine struck the unattached engine a heavy, glancing blow, the two great engines scraped alongside of each other for half their length and brass and copper pipes and sturdy steel rods were carved and cut as easily as so much cheese. Then, the superior weight of the Fishkill engine told, and fairly butted the unattached engine off the rails and threw it over on to the unoffending switch engine alongside of it, crushing some of the latter's pipes and side rods. The switching engine escaped with little damage. Strange to say all of the engineers or firemen es- capped serious injury. The collision is to be investigated.

DREYFUS MAKES APPEAL.
ASKS FIR ENCH WAR MINISTER TO
 REOPEN HIS CASE.
mendous Agitation Among the PoItti- cal Groups-Dramatic Character of tho esAppeai--Drey fus Has Been Living Quietly fn Paris.

Paris, April 22,-Alfred Dreyfus has submitted to Minister of War Andre a long letter, in which he earnestly asks for a reopening of his case through an investigation by the minister, as the supreme head of military justice. The letter, which is dated Paris, April 21, confirms the report that Dreyfus has been living quietly here for some time. Itpromises to cause tremendous agi tation among the various clements of the political groups for and against Dreyfus.
 The first part of the letter is a calm, earnest plea that the court which con demned him at Rennes was improperly influenced, first, by the annotated doc ument ascribed to Emperor William; and, second by the false testimony of one Of the witnesses, Czernuski. After arguing on the: extent to which these contributed to his condemnation, Drey- fus recalls in graphic terms the long series of horrors to which he had been subjected.
 The letter, throughout, is couched in a highly dramatic style, which is like ly lo lltdhG IL oAiS OLE lhS IlOGdUlC papclo of the case.
 It refers to Esterhazy as lone who stands before the entire world as the culprit." One of the leading passages, showing the rhetorical style, is as fol- lows:
 T will not recall, MT. Minister, what I have endured since 1894. Picture to yourself the horrors of soldier whose whole life was devoted to duty, to work. to loyalty, and to profound de- votion for his country, and who in an instant is stripped of his good name and despoiied of the honor of himself and his children. For five years this soldier is subjected to horrible suffer- ings They seek to crush him physi- cal1y, to anfnhilate him morally. He is absolutely innocent of all crime and struggles in vain to penetrate the mys- tery, proclaiming his innocence and struggling with all the forces of his mind and body for that supreme pleas ure of vindieating his good name and character. Days, months, years, pass thus in most cruel agony, amid the tor lures of a murderous climate. At last he is brought back to France the gull ty one is discovered, and the soldier hears himself proclaimed innocent by those who before reviled him as a traitor. It was thus, MT. Minister, that hoped to see my martyrdom end"
 But, alas, if I returned to find the devotion of friends who had battled for the truth, it was to find also that deadly hatreds had been unloosed. In the processes of 1894 I was stabbed in the back. I cannot imagine how such conditions can prevail through false hood and deception. But so it was, and my second condemnation was but an aggravated reaffirmation of what oc- cured in 1894. When the guilty one was known, and unmasked. and Ester hazy was recognized as the author of the treason, the same men who had cheated justice in 1894 again sought in 1899 to cheat justice for the second time by the same criminal maneuvres.
 Conscious of these methods, the

 Members of the Pilgrim Congrega- tional church express surprise that the Rev. A. F. Irvine, the pastor, should make claim against the church for extra salary. They state that the so- ciety found it necessary to reduce the salary Of the pastor because members were dropping away from the church and the amount of contributions were not large enough to warrant the expen- allure of so much money for pastor.
 Several of the Congregational churches in the district have decided not to send representatives to the conference to be held regarding the matter April "A. The reason is stated to be that they do not wish to be embroiled in the matter.
