'ficial County and City Paper
SIS PER YEAE
The Police Threaten.

| -
The issue seems to be joined
In Re Police Force. One elemen
in the unity contends that
the duty of an officer is to police
the town, preserve order, appre-
bend criminals. etc. That when
a police officer leaves his beat
and takes his stand at a polling
place, not for the purpose of pre-
serving the peace but for the
purpose of influencing voters, he
is then abusing his authority,
and that when the entire force of
the village actively canvass the
| town aud use every means within
their own power to influence,
coerce and drive voters to the
/ poles for one set Of candidates,
an outrage has been perpetrated
on the electors of the village.
That a police officer enjoys an
equal right with every other citi-
zen to vote and to express his
opinion on all public questions
and to discuss candidates, is not
denied and this question is be-
side the case.
Chief Bailey meets the forego-
ing issue fairly and square]y.
He| admits that he and his assist
ants took an active part in the
school election, and justites this
action upon the broad ground
that the officers have a perfect
right to do so, so long as they use
mild pursuasion in procuring
voters and abstain from using
their clubs. The chief then in
sinuates that if this practice is
interfered with by persons hold
ing a contrary view, certain ex.
posures will be made. The
"News" makes palmer the mean
ing of Chief Bailey's threat. That
organ asserts that many of the
best homes in Bemidji shelter
skeletons hideous beyond de-
scription and that in the event
the methods of the police force
are seriously criticised, these
gruesome things will be dragged
forth into the light, and in plain
view Of the persons who are
striving for nothing more than
fairness in our elections.
The position taken by Chief
Bailey, that the part taken by
him and his associates in the
school election is perfectly
proper, is wholly untenable. No
intelligent. fair minded person
can agree with the chief on that
point, and the only question to
be determined is whether the
practice shall continue. Do the
good people Of this town stand
upon such insecure footing, and
are they so thoroughly within
the grasp Of the men who patrol
their streets, that they dare not
cry out against this abuse. Will
the threat Of Chief Bailey to carry
ruin and despair into many Of
the homes of Bemidii, have the
effect of shilling the remonstrance
against a practice that threatens
ruin to our home institutions?
Are the people to be browbeaten
into submission by the police
force? In short, what is the
status of the police force; are
they the servants or are they the
masters Of the people?

gests that if the primary election

Gas Blowout III Water Well.

While setting the strainer in water
well at depth of 320 feet, on land
owned by Hon. Charles f. Buck, of
New Orleans, about three-fourths of a
mile north and west of the oil field, a
twenty-five foot joint of ten-inch
heavy iron pipe, weighing 63S pounds,
as it was being screwed on to pipe
already down, was blown up about
fifteen feet, and the we'll spouted water
and How for some time. 1t is suppos-
ed that the blowout was caused by
gas, as the tools and men in the der
rick were thrown about generally,
though, fortunately, no one was seri-
susly hurt. The big pipe fell on a
steel collar laying near the we'll and
was thrown with such violence that
the pipe was badly split
Weber & Van Ness had contracted
tNsdrill two wells ninety feet apart,
one on land owned by G T. Buck and
the other southward on land owned by
Capt. B. t. Walshe, and the two wells
are expected to be operated with one
lIIlSd pldHu- Nf. w eDDer stated
that this was the second accident of
this kind in his long experience as a
water well driller, the first being in
the spring Of 1900 when joint of iron
pipe was blown out of a water well he
vas drilling for e. S. Wood on that
part of his land now the proven oil
aeld of Welsh. Mr.. Webber further
stated that Tuesdays blowout was
almost identical to the one on Mr..
Woods land three years ago, where t
was later found necessary to aban-
don the well because of the presence
of so much gas. She blowout in the
Woods well led to the discovery of
oil in the Welsh field.
In the Buck well, although it was
but 32O feet deep, Mr.. Webber asserts
that there was good showing of oil
during the brief period the we'll was
flowing, which evidences the fact that
oil may be found in any direction
from the oil field, but whether in pay
ing quantities remains to be seen.
1t may be necessary to drill a new
veil by reason Of the blowout.

Will be an Oil Producer.

The Geological Survey has issued q
bulletin containing a synopsis of f.
Fl Oliphant's interesting report on
the production of petroleum in the
United States during the year 1902.
The most active centers of develop
ment were West Virginia, Kentucky,
Kansas, Indian Territory, Louisiana
and California. Treating of Louisi-
ana the bulletin says:
1.-THE year 1902 gave Louisiana a
distinctive place among the petroleum
producing states. The production
and sales for the year amounted to
55S, SIT barrels, valued at $l8S, $3.50,
Wells were sunk in search of petrole-
um over a considerable area in the
southwestern portion of the State.
The most successful development was
near Jennings, ninety miles east OF
Beaumont, Tex. Several promising
wells were also drilled near Welsh,
twelve miles west of Jennings.
Developments showing petroleum
and natural gas in small quantities
were made at Calcasieu, Lake Charles,
Crowley, Lafayette and Sulphur.
Tankage facilities have been provided
at both jennings and Welsh, and at
jennings the pool has been connected
by d pipe line with the railroad and
also with tide water. A market has
thus been obtained, as the sugar re-
fineries and other manufactures along
the coast and the Mississippi river
have in many instances discarded
coal for fuel oil. From indications
in many localities over u large por-
ton OF Southwest Louisiana, it is
reasonable to predict that this State
will in Il few years be large pro-
ducer."

Letter to L. L. Morse & Sons.

WELSH, LA.
Dear Sir: Do you want to sell De-
voc lead-and-zinc for your town and
country?
The whole doctrine turns on these
three points:
(1) 1t is all paint and true paint:
(2) 1t is the strongest paint:
(3) It's full measure.
Because it is all paint, true paint,
proportioned for strength and full
measure,
(D 1t takes least for a JOB;
(2) Looks best all the time;
(3) Lasts longest;
(4 Gathers the trade, and holds
customers.
There is no such argument for any
other paint; there is no other such
paint; there is nothing but talk for
any other paint. Devoe is the paint if
you want the facts on your side.
The country is full of experiences;
we bring these experiences to bear on
your trade, if you sell Devoe.
Yours truly

A New nepartura.

A new engine that is an entire de-
partnre from all existing types of
traction engines was unloaded here
representative for the Aultman Com
pany, of Canton, Ohio, manufacturers
of the engine.
The sample unloaded and now on
exhibition here is a 22-horse power
and being something. of an eatirely
new feature in the engine line much
interest was manifested by number
who were curious to witness the oper-
alton of it's odd mech anism
The regularity, and what might be
termed the simplicity, of this machine
is that the fire box and the engine are
on q parallel, the engine being beneath
the boiler instead of on top as ordina-
rily, and the fire box is elevated two
feet from the ground.
BY this means no power is trans
mitted through the boiler, the power
being transmitted in stright line
from the engine to the traction wheels.
The machinery is made easier to in
spect, clean, oil or repair and it's low
center of gravity lessons danger of
upsetting. 1t has specially designed
crank shaft giving large bearing and
great strength, cannot spring, bend or
break. BY removing all machinery
from boiler to solid frame. adapts it
to plOwing, grading, hauling and
heavy road work. The drive wheels
on this engine are twenty-four inches
wide, thus enabling it to withstand
mud and bad roads better than any
other traction engine on the market

!, New York, March "a step toward
the settlement of the grain rate war,
which has robbed the Chicago-Atlan-
tic port railway lines of practically all
grain traffic from the central west,
has been taken at a meeting here. EX-
ecutive officials in the Central Traffic
association met the trunk line execu-
tive officials and appointed a commit
tee to re-establish harmony between
the eastern railroads and the lines
with gulf port terminals. Oscar G.
Murray, president Of the Baltimore &
Ohio, will be chairman, and repre-
sentatives Of the Lake Shore, Pennsyl-
vania, Big Four and Glover Leaf will
serve with him.
This committee was vested with
power to make an agreement with the
southwestern lines on any reasonable
basis which would guarantee a main
tenance of fixed schedule between
the eastern lines and gulf port roads.
The question which it is sought to
adjust involves all classes of traffic
for. export, but leaves in statu quo the
import rate rivalry between the gulf
ports and the north Atlantic ports,
which has caused the eastern lines
much uneasiness. ~:..
The fight to build up the export
tonnage of the gulf port lines at the
expense: of the eastern lines has CEN
tered about the grain rates, altho cuts
were made in other classes of freight.

Success!

Success in this day OF, push and en-
terprise is largely dependent upon ad-
vertising." The public must be inter-
eSted. And successful advertising de-
ponds largely upon the ability of the
advertiser to persuade people to read
and consider his advertisements. The
advertising now appearing regularly in
this paper-of- Push-kuro is accom-
plishing splendid results, and the sale
of that remedy is reported to have
reached enormous proportions. Of
course, the article itself must have
merit to meet with permanent success.
In the case of Push kuro: there seems
to be but little question but that it is
the best remedy known to-day for the
cure Of rheumatism, nervous disorders,
stomach troubles, catarrh, and female
complaints, ETC., and it is undoubtedly
destined to become a: household word

governor and members of the legis-
lature in Wisconsin this year is the
question*as to whether the state shall
appoint a railroad commission with
authority to fix in advance intlexible

The question has been forced to the
front by Governor La Toilette, who
asserts that under the workings Of
such a commission shippers of the
state would secure lower freight rates.
The opposition to the governors

fixed strictly on a mileage basis, as
would be- the case If they were ar
ranged by a state commission.
Manufacturers Of the s:state, aim ost
