An Explanation.

To the Public: I feelvery sorry
and would ask the people of Be
midi to forgive me for the part /
took in the organization of the
Washington League, and if any
one was deceived through my eff
forts twas because [ was myself
deceived. AS soon as [ found out
that sixteen lodges could not
operate in thirty five states /
withdrew with thir teen persons
ready to write up. If | can be
forgiven | will promise to never
take up With any other concern
of the kind built on the ruins of
some other fake. People would
do we'll to inquire into the COM
position Of any order that is in
process Of experiment. Save the
money, and many times they
might save themselves the
trouble of getting up against a
fake. There are many good
orders that are tried and true,
and it would be better to drop all
new experiments. But the old
aphorism is to the effect that the
American people love to be hum
plugged.

Geese in Bemidii Lake.

A large flock of wild geese
stopped at Bemidji Lake last
night and attracted considerable
attention tn roughout the night
by the incessant din which they
kept up. The flight arrived
shortly after dark and seemed to
be much confused by the electric
lights. They finally settled in
the lake and from the noise they
made were evidently a very
large flock. They resumed their
southwark journey at an early
hour this morning.

BEFORE AND AFTER.

There is no portion of North Caro-
lima today that bears more evidences
of development than the sand hills of
Moore county. The finest hotels in
the State are located there, more rich
people visit that section for pleasure
and for health, and laud once deemed
good only for holding the world to-
gether now commands high prices be-
cause it is the ideal section for the cul-
tivation of the grape and the peach
A visitor to this delightful section of
the State now entertaining thousands
of winter guests, with its magnificent,
hotels, golf link, and modern comforts
and luA,uries, would have to draw on
his Imagination to understand that
twenty years ago the land which, now
blossoms as a rose, was deemed OF no
value except to hold the world to-
gether.
When Mr.. John 7. Patrick who first
practically made known to the world
the healthful properties and fertility
of the pine lands of Southern North
Carolina began to advertise South
ern Pines, the accomplished late Col.
John D. Cameron wrote:
1--WE know that section as we'll as
we do Fayetteville street, in Raleigh,
There is no more barren or poverty
stricken belt in the State except
Mount Misery. near Wilmington, yet
to this region Mr.. Patrick has given
the name of Southern Pines; a place
where a pea vine will not grow and a
grape vine cannot sprout; sand bank
where even the tllinly scattered pine
trees are stunted and the black jacks
are dwarfed, where the wire grass
stamps in withered clunps, few and
far between, and the white sand is
marked with drifts of pine straw
washed together by the summer floods
that are not swallowed up by the
thirsty desert. y
Today this land is fertile, poverty
has been banished, pea vines flourish;
it is the home of the finest vineyards
in the whole South, resembling those
Of France; nurseries send the finest
peaches and fruits to Northern mar
<ets; beautiful lawns stretch out be-
fore handsome residences; the sand
1rifts have been converted into beaut1-
nj streets and boulevards surround
d tropica: shrubbery, and nature has

ONCE MORE.
It's guests

Once more we hear the cooling dove,
Among the long leaf pines,
Once more the buds begin to start
Upon the berry vines.
And now we hear the mocki1 g birds
At early morn and eve
And know that it is planting time
For they will not deceive.
We have not had an inch of snow
For hunting foxes here,
Or track the turkey, and the deer
That winter about here.
1t does not seem much like winters
We use to have at home,
And | must say | am thankful
That [ am not at home.

THE FIRST NEW ENGLAND VILLAGE
ESTABLISHED IN NORTH CAROLINA

The awakening of the world to the
realization of the valne of the health
giving properties of the Sand Hill re-
gion TO lowed the opening of Southern
Pines and the world wide reputation of
this country is due greatly to that
little city.
Publicity has been the key note Of
the success of Southern. A novelty
in municipal lines, an innovation to-
tally une expected by the people of the
South and coming at a time when the
North was ripe for Just such pre-
position, the story was sent out
through the land telling the truth
about the Sand Hills, about the
breezes that gather health giving pro-
perties from the Long Leaf pine. At
that time there was but barren field
along the line of the Seaboard Air
Line. Today it is inhabited by the
thriftiest and stu1diest people who
heve settled in North Carolina. There
is not in the whole South d town of
its size where greater conveniences
are afforded the visitors or where
modern improvements, even the
riches. OF luAulies, are given more
cordial welcome
Southern Pines has such hotel &C
comruodations as are rarely fonnd-in
cities of many times its population.
Thousands of visitors are entertained
at these hostelrles year IN and year
olt, and through these satisfied and
patrons Southern Pines re-
,eives such advertising as will per
0etuate the reputation of its section
IS the healthiest and most inviting
portion of the South.
Besides the excellent hotels, there
ire numbers of well-appointed homes,
oullc along the most approved New
England methods, where season
ooarders are accommodated. There
ire two Sanitariums, comfortable and
veil attended churches, public grad
ID schools, large merchantile houses,
banking institution, Well-stocked
livery stables, mills and factories and
very house and enterprise has the
dvantages of the splendid system of
water works, electric lights improved
treets. besides other advantages Of
cred by this capital of the Long Leaf
line Region.
The ideal conditions for perfect
ealth-sandy, porous soil, high alti-
ude, distance from the water, and
pine forests-have conn
ined to make this region the most F.
eslrable winter resort in America.
With this truth as it's foundation,
lie Piney Woods Inn, the largest
otel in Southern Pines, and one of
lie best appointed i'll this State, was
uilt for the comfort and pleasure of

SMALL DOCTORS BILLS.
Scientific Feeding the Way to Reduce
Them

A little science in the selection of
food leads to good health and smaller
doctors bills. III health not only cuts
down the earnings, but increases the
cost of living, too. How many men
and women would like to save the big
gest part of what they now pay out
for sickness yearly? AS most ailments
come from improper feeding it stands
to reason you won't need. the doctor so
often if you feed yourself and family
right and the doctor would be pleased
as well.
Holland Academy at Beckville, Texas,
writes as follows: Having been a user
of Grape-Nuts for the past two years
l beg to offer a testimony Of the effect
it has had upon myself and family.
When. 1 began the use of Grape
Nuts my wife and l were taking a re-
sort for our health in South Texas. Up
to this time our lives were indeed mis-
cradle as result of continual bad
health, i'll tempers and heavy doctors
bills. One day a merchant of Burke
Vile, Texas, advised me to try Grape
Nuts as diet.
Doubling that 1t would benefit me
any I took home a package, however,
and before / had used this box I had
begun to see the good effect it had on
my digestion. So I continued its use.
After had used the third package L
discontinued the use of medicine alto
gether as I saw Grape-Nuts was do
ing more for me than all the medicine
1 had taken.
When I returned home my friends
and neighbors hardly knew me, I had
improved so in health, appearance and
energy. l had my grocer at Carthage
order supply and have continued to
use it.
This year my family life has been
more happy than ever and my bust
ness, which had been nearly wrecked
before, is now prosperous.
las | am q teacher, worried with the
care of from 100 to $50 small urchins
in our rural school, 1 am subject to
considerable worry and strain upon the
brain. Since my daily diet of Grape
Nuts, however, must say my school
work is not nearly so unpleasant.
Il recommend 1t for a plain simple
diet full of nourishment, just the
thing for that worn and tired out feel
ing in the brain. Respectfully honestly
and earnestly yours" Name furnished

sportsmen at Banquet Listen to
Speeches.

THE proposed game law now before
the Minnesota legislature is complete
in every detail and it worthy of the
approval of every sportsman" said
President G. 0. Shields of the League
of American Sportsmen, who presided
at banquet rendered to the represen-
tatives of the league last evening at
the Commercial club. "There is but
one amendment that could be made to
it, and that might be adopted from
the South Dakota law, providing that
every man found in the field in pro-
hibited seasons with a dog and gun
is presumed to be violating the law"
Gov. S. r. Van SAINT was in favor Of
proper protection in game. He said:
'As food asset the game and fish
of Minnesota are worth millions Of
dollars Their chief value is not mere
ly commercial, however, but lies in
the more important fact that they af-
ford recreation and amusement for
thousands of good sportsmen, who are
always true gentlemen. Their protec-
ton, therefore, should be carefully
looked to-
'"The hunting of game in field and
forest and the catching of fish in lake
and stream is more than a mere pas

LIQUOR DEALERS
DENOUNCE TRUST
Local Association Condemns Use of
Trust Made Cigars.

The Retail Liquor Dealers associa-
ton, of St. Paul, has gone on record
as condemning the cigar trust, and
of Independent dealers. At the last
meeting of the association the follow
resolution was unanimously adopted:
'"The cigar trust is now an assured
evil, and actively engaged In buying
up plants of independent cigar manu-
facturers, paying large sums for such
plants far in excess of their actual
value and by unjust and unfair COM
petition compelling other cigar man
ufacturers to sell or abandon their
plants, and in order to find a market
for their trust-made cigars are seeking
to drive the local retail dealers out of
business by unfair competition, and in
time, If not checked, will control the
entire cigar market, compelling the
consumer to buy their trust-made CT
gars at prices far in excess of those
now prevailing and forcing independ-
ent cigar manufacturers out of busi-
ness, thereby centralizing the cigar
industry and making idle thousands of
men now employed at good salaries
and lowering the prevailing standard
of wages and substituting Sweat
shop methods in the manufacture of
cigars; therefore, be it
Resolved, That we. the st. Paul
Retail Liquor Dealers association,
condemn the use of trust-made cigars
and pledge our support in favor of any
and all independent manufacturers of

of his only daughter, Mrs. Margaret
Esh, $40 Wabasha street
Mr.. Brannon was born in Dayton,
Ohio, in 1928. In 1916, upon the open
ing of the Mexican war, he enlisted in
the United States army, but on ac-
count of his youth his parents obtain
ed his immediate discharge. A month
afterward he again enlisted and sue
ceeded in getting to the front. He
and at its close, in 1848, was sent to
in 1850 to Mrs Isabelle Courtney.
Upon the declaration of war in 1851
he enlisted in the Sixth Minnesota
volunteers and served through the en-
tire Civil war, becaming first sergeant
of Company A, and upon receiving his
honorable discharge in 1865 returned
to his family in Minnesota.
He then engaged in the sale of farm
implements, which proved to be his
life work.
Among Mr.. Brannan's many collec-
tons of war relics his most cherished
was composed of the badges of all the
Decoration days observed ir- the state
of Minnesota up to 1902.
He is survived by his two children
James Brannan and Mrs. Esh, $40 Wa

the sportsman's paradise, and its for
ests and lakes are filled with all the

al Douglas.

Senator H. s. Morgan, of Albert Lea,
assured the members of the league
that the law before the legislature
would receive his support and pointed
out how the provisions would enable

FIXES BLAME FOR
J MRS. TELLS DEATH
Coroner's Jury Finds It Due
to Neglect Of Paulina
Nelson.

r After a thorough inquest, in which
was presented detailed evidence on
the part of all witnesses, relative to
any of the circumstances attending the
death of Mrs. Johanna Tell, the jury
returned its verdict as follows:
THAT the said Johanna Tell died on
Sunday, Feb. Z, at about o'clock a.
IN. OF blood poisoning, caused by ne
elect and insufficient care after child
birth.
And we, the jury, recommend that
the license of Paulina Nelson, the at
tending midwife in this case, should
be revoked.
"And we further recommend that the
proper authorities take such steps to
regulate the practice of midwifery as to
prevent the recurrence of cases of this
class
Recognizing the Importance Of this
case by reason OF the bearing it might
have upon future regulation of the
practice of midwifery, Coroner Miller
had very carefully conducted his por
ton OF the investigation and was
ready to present to the jury all avail
able details.
1t was shown by DR.. Plondke, who
conducted the autopsy upon Mrs. Tells
remains, at her former home, 81 East
Thirteenth street, that death was due
to an aggravated case of blood poi

DR.. o. E. Johnson, inferno at Bethes-
da hospital, said that he had been
called to see Mrs. Tell about o'cIck
on Sunday morning, but when he ar
rived she was dead
Mrs. Paulina Nelson, the midwife,
was severely cross questioned as to her
practice and her methods, but her testi-
mony tended chiefly to show that she
had not realized the condition of her
patient in this instance and through
her ignorance had supposed herself
competent to treat the case. She said
that she had at one time advised the
relatives Of Mrs. Tell to get a .physi-
clan unless her condition should i'm
prove, but this statement was fatty
denied by Carl Tell, the husband, and
Mrs. Anderson, the mother of the dead
woman Mrs. Anderson said that Mrs
Nelson had told her that there was
no necessity of getting a DOCTOR
After the jury had brought in it's

WILL BU. D HOSPITAL
TO COST MILLION
DOLLARS
Prominent Citizens Have
Undertaken Project In
View of st. Pauls Need
New Hospital to Know No
Social Distinctions, No
Religion and No Particular
School of Medicine.

Philanthropy on the broadcast scale
and of the most liberal scope is the
ruling motive Of q hospital project
now well under way in this city.
The idea Of hospital in ST. Paul
to cost $1,000,000 would seem almost
Qu1xotic, but for the fact that the I'M
dertaking has been confidently and
seriously taken up by a committee Of
men whose prominence in the COM
muntty, whose conservatism in all bus
mess affairs, and better than all, whose
past achievements in the furtherance
or public affairs of magnitude, give al
most positive assurance of success to
any movement they are willing to take
in hand.
This committee consists of Theodore
L. Schurmeier, Judge Greenleaf Clarke,
Schulze, A. Guiterman, d. r. Noyes,
j. w. Cooper, Kenneth Clark, Joseph
Elsinger, A. Guthrie, Col. r. H. Her
sey, Thomas Irvine, G. w. Gordon,
Abraham Simmer, A. H. Skinner, L..
T. OrdWay, F. Fl. Stoltze, Mcneil u.
Seymour, DR.. c. A Wheaton, DR.. Jacob
ID. Schadle and DR.. Charles Lyman
Greene
This project is by no means new,
although it is now publicly announced
in tangible form, and the gentlemen of
the committee, while fully aware of
the magnitude Of their work, are con-
WINGED of the practieability of the idea
of raising $1,000,000 to build a hos
pital such as has been conceived.
viii Be Nom Sectarian.
The fundamental and controlling
principle of the plan is that the hos
pital shall be general in every sense
that 1T shall know no social distinction,
no religion and no school of medicine,
m e111x@ e
people and all people alike. It will be
essentially a charitable institution, but
not only that, it's principal purpose be-
ing to furnish the best of hospital ia
ctlitieS to those who are in moderate
circumstances, but not strictly pau
pers.
1t is intended that this institution
shall be in every respect modern and
up-tO-date, and that every accommo-
dalton that is to be found in any Of
the hospitals or sanatoriums of the
world, will there be found. 1t is be-
lieved that such an establishment will
be of the greatest benefit not only to
the people of the city but to the city
itself and to the state 1t will be not
only the largest hospital in the entire
expanse of the Northwest, but will be
unique in this country by reason of it's
broad lines of nom sectarianism
There are in fact few hospitals in the
entire world founded upon such gen.
erous principles. In it's educational
features it's scope will be just as
broad.
That there is room in this city for
another hospital, and even large one,
is convincingly shown by the crowded
condition of those already in operation
The committee has not undertaken
this work blindly, or without some def
mite idea of the manner in which 1t
should be conducted, but at present is
not ready to outline it's plans for pub
