Loved a Photograph,

Suicide.

Christ M. johnson, farme :
who lived three miles south OF
.Fosston, committed suicide last
Saturday. He went out hunting
but as be did not return as
promptly as expected a search
was made and his body found IN
a grove, the gun lying near by.
The inference is suicide, although
there is no known reason for the
act. johnson was we'll to DO, a
man 48 years of age, his prop
erty clear|of incumbrance and his
family relations pleasant. He
was one of the early day settlers
of the Thirteen Towns, and is

DRY Of suicide is borne out by the
fact that he never before was
known to go out with a gun for a
hunt under the circumstances.

Official County and City Paper
FOR BEMIDJI.

The Commercial Club of Be
midi has a magnificent opportu-
nifty in the land office matter to
show of what stuff it is made
to show whether it was organ
lied to answer some petty and
selfish ends, or to look after the
broader interests of the city as a
whole. It is an easy matter to
wholly ruin the usefulness yof
such an organization by attempt
ing to use it for personal pur-
poses; and it is likwise possible
to make it so useful in the up
building of the city that what It
actually accomplishes will make
all personal matters look silly.
Bemidji has not been exempt
from bitter personal contests,
some of which left sores that are
better healed than heralded. But
with the advent of the new popu-
lation, new and larger business
interests, and many more strong
and leyel-headed men of affairs,
the apparent necessity for the
continuation of such quarrels
would seem to have terminated.
The city is growing so rapidly,
and prosperity so attends it from
every quarter, that there should
be no time for ripping up the
bowels of wrath for any ordinary
or local or personal cause. And
the Commercial Club in particu-
lar should be free from such.
Let it work for the whole inter
est of the city and county, and
not be manipulated for political
or personal ends. For only the
most positive public spirit will
give it positive usefulness,

the United Estates cruiser, West

peace, and the other, through it's
fundamentally as a means OF

Each has mission. It would be
a good thing for the world If the
money and the energy used in the
construction and maintenance OF

the paths Of peace. But so long

FIBER MILL.
Fosston's Flax Fiber Mill Starts
Business Last Monday for
ThreelMonths' Run.

Superintendent Frank Craft
started the Fosston Flax Fiber
mill last Thursday. The mill has
a daily capacity of ten tons, or
one carload Of fibre per day. AS
there are over 900 tons Of flax
straw on hand, Mr.. Craft estl-
mates that the plant will run;
about three months steadily be-
fore exhausting the straw on
hand. The 800 tons of straw on
hand will make about 300 tons OF
fiber, enough to fill thirty cars.
AS at present operated, the mill
employs ten men, besides the SUI
perintendent. Weather condi-
tons are an important factor in
the operation Of the mill: as it
must be perfectly dry to proper
ly manufacture the fibre, which
is used in upholstering furniture,
etc.
Mr.. Craft states that the Union

ers of the mill, intend to make
extensive improvements during
the coming summer, and will re-
pair and enlarge the building, in
readiness to receive a much lar

The thirty third legislature
closes it session today. While a
large number of bills have found
their way to the waste basket,
an accounting will very likely
show that it has been a record
breaker in this respect. There
we're several weighty matters
turned down by the senate and
wisely so. What it has done will
be better considered after they
have adjourned. Most of the bills

BOXERS LOSE THEIR HEADS.
Attempt to Reorganize Movement 10
Promptly Suppressed.

Washington, April 40. Minister
Conger reports to the state depart
ment from Pekin, upder date of March
II that an attempt has been made II
the district of Kutcin, about 1,2OO
miles west of Pekin, to reorganize the
Boxer movement, but was promptly
suppressed BY the energetic action OF
the viceroy, the famous Yuan shlh HI,
who stood like rock against the Box
ers in 1900. Several soldiers lost their
lives in the attempt to arrest the Grim
inals. Several of the criminals were
killed and ten others were arrested,
who are to be beheaded and their
heads exhibited where the organiza-
ton started. Mr.. Conger says only
such prompt and severe measures will
prevent similar organizations in other
localities, and that it is hoped and be-
lieyed Yuan Shin Hi will continue as
he has begun.
