Base Ball.

Some quiet work is being done In
our city in regard TO getting Bemidli
into the Northern league this summer.
The are two weeks left In which TO
make application for entrance into the
league. 1t will be big ad. for. our
town and, II properly pushed, it will
undoubtedly go through. Bemtdji
will be assured Of plenty OF games i
she enters the league for the reason
that there Is no increase In mileage
and the teams have TO pass right
through our town. There is no doubt
but what Bemidii will be able to get 9
good team together and one that would
be d. cred ii to the town.

Every farmer knows that
some plants grow better than
Others. Soil may be the same
and seed may seem the same
but some plants are weak and
Others strong.
And that's the way with
children. They are like young
plants. Same food, same home,
same care but some grow big
and strong while others stay
small and weak.
SCOTS Emulsion offers an
|easyway out Of the difficulty.
Child weakness often means
starvation, not because of lack
of food, but because the food
does not feed.
SCOTS Emulsion really feeds
and gives the child growing
strength.
Whatever the cause Of weak
ness and failure to grow
SCOTS Emulsion seems to flnd
it and set the matter right.

ANOTHER POSTAL
OFFICIAL FIRED
lcHARLEs HEDGES cHAReEDW WITH
STEALING FREELY.
PRESENTS FALSE BILLS
Makes certification to Being in Distant
Places on Official Business While
He Goes to Investigate Mining
Schemes-RemoVal Ordered by
Postmaster General Payne.

Washington, July 23.-Charles
Hedges was yesterday removed from
the office of superintendent of free de-
livery of the postoffice department on
the charge of making false statements
and loaning his travehng commission.
IL is charged that he reported himself
at various places when in fact he was
not at those places on the dates men
toned, in some instances Icing hun
dreds of miles away. Hedges, while
making no general denial of the
charges, contended they were not suf-
ficient justification for removal.
Erwin II. Thorpse, pOstoffice inspec-
tor in charge at New York, who has
been assisting in the administration OF
the free delivery service since the in
ception of the investigation, has been
designated as superintendent of free
delivery in the place of Hedges.
The official statement issued by
Fourth Assistant Postmaster General
Bristow says that October %, 1900,
Hedges made afhdavit that he was at
Joplin, Mo-, on official business, when
in fact he was in Mansfield, Ohio, at
tending the funeral of Former Secre-
.tary Sherman. December z, 1899,
Hedges reported himself at San An
tonic, Texas, investigating the carrier
service, but at that time he was in
Mexico examining mining property. In
october, 1899. according to Bristow's
statement, Hedges was in Washington
acting as superintendent of free deliv-
cry, but swore he was at various other
places on official business.
Hedges Ialse statements as to his
whereabouts on these days." Mr. Bris-
tow says, were manifestly for the pur-
pose of collecting per diem TO which he
was not entitled"
There are many other instances OF
similar Justification" the statement
continued. "The facts were submitted
10 the postmaster general some days
since, who directed that Hedges be re-
moved for the reasons above set forth 4"

around the lOggia, immortalized by
Raphael, encircled the court of San
Danamso and descended the private
staircase, still chanting, into the
basilico. The moment the tiaring
torches which still led the cortege,
entered St Peters, the choir, which
was there, commenced to sing in sor
rOwful cadence Liberia Me Domino.
Monsignor Carcani. canon of St.
Peters, solemnly sDrinkled holy water
over LeO's body and pronounced absO-
luton. AS it was borne across the
threshold of the cathedral, the choir,
stiII singing, took the lead of the
lengthy procession. The intense
silence which prevailed was broken
only by the chanting which echos q
and reechoed from the huge dome and
deserted aisles of the chapel as the
body was borne down the naive to the
chapel OF the sacrament. There can
dies burned brightly. In this chapelle
ardente the body was reverently laid
behind iron gates and two members
of the noble guard took positions on
either side of the bier. The process
sion reformed and returned to the
vatican, leaving the body of Leo XIII
in the greatest church in the world,
alone, except for the faithful guard
and penitentiaries whose prayers could
be heard in the immediate vicinity of
the chapel of the sacrament. Through
out the remainder of the vast basilica
silence reigned.

A Matter of Morals.

1t is as much mans duty to pay
his fare on a railroad train or on a
street railway car as it is pay for a
bill of goods which he has purchased.
As well says that it is honest for a
man TO walk out of a store with a
Lundle OF good which he has not paid
for because the clerk forgot TO ask for
the money. No matter how one looks
at it, it is a species OF dishonesty, and
dishonesty cannot be defended upon
any plea whatsoever. When a man
boards a public vehicle he puts him
self under an obligation to pay his
fare, and when the conductor over
looks him it IS his plain duty to seek
