Bemidji, since the organ
ization of the house cleaning
brigade at East Grand Forks,
has become the mecca"
for sports and tinhorns ofall
descriptions Nearly all OF
the suspects from the east
side have migrated to the
tall pine. The east side has,
until the recent explosion,
held the undisputed honor OF
being the toughest place in
the state with Bemidj Ia very
close second. 1t is probably
from present indications
that Bemidji will now pull
up inro the front rank and
that East Grand Forks will
fall several notches in the
gentle race Of laWlessness
and iniquity.
Not one word Of the above item
is truth in so far as it refers to
Bemidii. There has been no in
Hulk of s'sports and tinhorns'
and there are today in Bemidjl
fewer gentry Of this description
than ever before. AS fora law

man OF experience who comes to
Bemidji is that the city is better
policed than any city Of Is 80

The truth is that the Times
man who penned the above item
simply drew on his imagination
in order to ''make" news. Be-
c.use Bemidji has been frontier
town and a numbering town and
the lumberjack a numerous tran
silent through it the Times man,
like many others, takes it for
grantedt hat the town is a modern
Sodom and that it IS dangerous
for a decent man to walk abroad
in it's streets. Hence such
creatures of the imagination as
we have quoted above.
This is very loose talk, and the
making of news at the expense
of others is very coarse news
paper work.
TIE hopelessness of Judge
Collins candidacy seems to have
nearly driven Alyah Eastman of
the st. Cloud Journal Press mad.
for it is leao ing him to say such
things as this:
That perennial CRATER,
Granville Shylock Pease, of
the Anoka Union, insists
that the Journal Press editor
is very ungrateful because it
does not throw down it's
home candidate for governor
and support the gentleman
from Princeton. That insane
hospital sewer seems to have
submerged Granville's last
ray of intelligence.

FAMOUS HIGH CHIEF
III OF APIA IS DYING

TUTUILA, Samoa, August 25.-
Seumanutafa, the high chief of Apia
is dying. He is the chief who rendered
noble service to the United States
during the great hurricane of 1889
and received recognition for his as
sistance in saving the lives of the
shipwrecked men. Although the Ger
mans were fighting against his party
at that time, when he saw his enemies
cast upon the beach he took them
under his care and allowed no one
to interfere with them. His son-in-
law, Judge Gurr of Tutuila, who was
with him during the troubles of 1889,
proceeds today to Apia to attend him.
There have been continuous rains in
Tutuila during the so-called dry sea-
son." The copra crop for the year has
been considerably reduced and the dry
ing of the nut stopped for the present

a Strange Accident.

1.-THE rejection of the canal treaty

Gently who has been following affairs
in that country very closely for the last
several years, reminds me of one of
the numerous revolutions in that re-
public, and how it was brought to an
end by an accident I don't remember
which one it was-I mean it's number,
for I have lost my memorandum in
which 1 had the revolutions of the last
40 years arranged alphabetically
that is, the name of the rebel leader,
with each one numbered. Admiral
Jewett, Captain McCalla and another
American naval officer named Judd,
were central figures in the tragedy
that brought the revolution to a sud-
den termination. Admiral Jewett, it
seems, who was in charge of the
American forces at Colon, sent Mccall
la ashore with detachment of men to
protect the American interests. Jew
EFT wanted to get away and deter
mined, without warrant or authority,
to get the rebel leader and talk the
matter over with him. He sent for
the fellow-I've forgotten his name
and he came down to meet the Adj
miral. In the meantime the rebels,
fearing that something might happen
to their chief. captured Judd and took
him to the mountains near where the
conference was to take place. to watch
the palavering from afar, telling Judd
that if any harm befell their leader
his life would pay the penalty. Before
Jewett arrived, it seems, the Ameri-
cans learned of the capture of Judd,
and, the rebels guarding him being in
sight they took the rebel chief, placed
a rope around his neck and made him
stand upon a fiat car in full view of
the rebels in the mountains. 1t was
not their purpose to injure him, only
to secure the release of Judd. But in
some way the car got started down
hill, the chief was yanked from the
car and suspended in mid-air. Every
one was so surprised they never
thought of cutting the rope for some
time, and when they did so the rebel
leader was dead and the revolution
had thus been brought to an end. But
that does not end the story: One of
the officers, a gallant fellow, who was
afterward released by the rebels, be-
came i'll and was sent to New York

TIME BRINGS CHANGES.
Order From the Pacific Coast fer
Nickels and 1-Cent Pieces.

The treasury department has receiv-
ed an order for 5000 nickels and 1000
1-cent pieces from the Pacific coast
The order is from the subtreasury at
| San Francisco. Five years ago such
an order from the subtreasury would
have been regarded in the nature of a
mistake somewhere, and the chances
are that an inquiry would have been
put on foot to ascertain if these coins
| were really wanted. But times change
on the. Pacific coast as elsewhere, and
the despised small coins are coming
into use there in greater quantities ev-
| cry day.
Just what started the use of nickes
and pennies on the coast is not def
nitely known, but treasury officials say
that its beginning was during the
Spanish-American war, or rather dur
ing the existence of the war taxes i'm
posed at that time. These war taxes
called for stamps on different articles,
and officials of the government in SELL
ing the stamps gave the proper change
in pennies and nickels. Purchasers of
the stamps began to find the small
coins useful in this way and in others,
and for several years now the Pacific
coast people have begun to acquire
habit which they always despised IN
Eastern people.
1t is a we'll known fact that a cent
was rare thing on the Pacific coast
five years ago, SO far as trade was COIL
cerned, and nothing was sold from the
stores that called for change in cents.
The Eastern bargain counter, with its
"49 cents and it's S1.9S". placards and
other features attractive to female
shoppers was unknown. Everything
was sold in even money and paid for
that way. Even the scent piece was
rare. The 10-cent piece was practically
the smallest piece in circulation. If an
article worth ten cents was purchased
and the purchaser rendered a 25-cent
piece, the chances were that the mer-
chant would hand him ten cents in
change, merely because he did not have
the other five cents to make the change.
The Pacific coast people do not now
like to carry small change, and the or
der that has been received is a COM
officials it reveals the fact that the
few years the nickel and the penny
will be in general use in a section of
the country heretofore having no re-
gard for them.
The same thing was true of parts of
the South until eight or ten years ago,
but the objections to the small coins
there have been almost overcome. They
are still not so generally used there as
in the East and portions of the West.
and there are still many places in the
South where the nickel is the smallest
coin accepted in trade and general use.

RAILWAY OPERATORS
FORM SECRET UNION

One Of the greatest cases OF secret or
gambling that has occurred In the labor
world for good many years came to light
last week. when 1t was discovered that
during the past year organizers of the
Order OF Railway Telegraphers have al
most completely organized the operators on
the Pennsylvania lines west OF Pittsburg
IL II stated that 30 per cent. OF the railway
photographers west OF Pittsburg have met
more or less opposition from the vandalia
and It Is supposed that the secret organiza-
ton was resorted TO so that the railway
officials could not stop the movement
The Pennsylvania division OF operators
west OF Pittsburg are now said to be as
thoroughly organized as that east of Pitts
burg. where the union is considered strong
est IL Is probable that the union will soon
make the same demands. as IL Is I'm a po-
eition 10 force the officials TO give its re-
quests attention. On the lines east of Pitts
burg there are 5000 members or the teleg-
raphers' union and the best OF relations
exist Between them and their employers
II Is salo sSat the officials OF the Penn
syIyania road have already taken steps
TO break up the new branch of the union
BY issuing an order that unless the oper-
atoss withdraw from the union new men
