That the medical profession is
well represented in Bemidji is a
we'll known fact, but it has not
been generally known to the
people of the city that some
cases of sickness are cured in
Bemidji which the most eminent
specialists have tried to treat
successfully and failed. A re
markable instance of this kind
was shown about a month ago,
when John Johnson, resident
Of Mill Park, was operated upon
at st. Anthony's hospital for
strangulated hernia by DR.. Hen
derson. While the operation was
in progress it was found that
gangrene had set in in the bowels
and it was necessary to remove
eight inches of intestine. The
patient withstood the operation
although he is ifty-four years of
age and at present is GONZALES

orphan Children Will Be Returned to
New York.
Denver, Nov. 5.-A special to the
AriZ., says:
Attorney General Wells Of Arizona
has received a private letter from
has quietly left there for Clifton and
Roosevelt to gather up the forty or
phans recently taken away from the
Sisters Of Mercy and to prepare at
once to return them to New York.
Since the sisters were forced few
weeks ago to give up the children to
Clifton and Morenci white people they
have taken the matter before the pres
ident. They allege that majority of
the forty orphans are now in the GUS
tody of disreputable people, some be-
ing keepers of grog shops and bawdy
houses.
The letter received by Attorney Gen
eral Wells is the first authentic infor-
nation bearing on the movements of
Governor Br0die, who left Phoenix
without making his purpose known.
The forty orphans were brought
from New York to be placed with Mex
lean families. They were taken by
force from the Mexicans by whites,
the latter threatening to lynch an
agent of the sisters. The governor is
said to fear trouble when he tries to
take the children and has instructed
Captain Rynding of the Arizona Ran
gers at Douglas, to be ready to quell
any disturbance that may arise.

INCREASE THEIR MAJORITY IN
CANADIAN PARLIAMENT AT
RECENT ELECTION.
CONSERVATIVE LEADER IS RETIRED
OVERNMENT'S TRANSCON-
TlNENTAL ROAD.

Toronto Nov. 5.-With six elections
more to be held the result Of Thurs
days contest shows the Liberals re-
turned to power in greater majority
than ever. The Globe claims a major
ity of siAty-siX for the government,
which it predicts will be increased to
seventy. The Mail and Empire, the
opposition organ, comedies fifty-nine,
with one independent. The majority
at dissolution was fifty-four.
The most remarkable features of the
contest were the defeat of Borden, the
Conservative leader, in his own city OF
Halifax, and the failure of COnServa-
tiVcS of Nova Scotia to return a single
member. Dordens failure to carry a
single seat in his own province may
mean MS retirement to private life.
The governments new transcOnti-
mental railway scheme has been strong
ly endorsed by the West, the Northwest
Territories returning nine straight sup
pOrters OF the government, while all
the elections so far held in British
Columbia were favorable to the Lib
erals. One significant feature was the
defeat i'll Quebec Of Charles Grain,
who inspired the campaign against
Laurier because he had granted Eng
land preference.
keVised figures up to / o'clock show
that the Liberals have clear majority
OF SiXty-three, with seven elections yet
to be held. These will almost all go
with the government. The standing

Water From New Wells
Just Completed.

The patrons of the city water
works will be glad to learn that
this morning the connections to
the new city WeEs were com
pleted and the pump was started
drawing water from the six wells
which were finished last week.
The water is said to be very good,
but on account Of the large
amount Of poor water with which
it has been necessary to supply
the city during the time the new
wells were being dug, little diff
ference in the quality Of water
can be noticed as yet However.
Superintendent Pogue says that
as soon as possible the mains will
be flushed and from that time
forth Bemidji will be blessed
with an unlimited supply of the
finest water in the land.

PARIS THE MEETING PLACE
INQUIRY TO CONSIST OF
FIVE ADMIRALS.

Paris, Nov. 5.-Foreign Minister
Delcasse announced to the council of
ministers during the" day the details of
the approaching session of the Anglo
Russian commission in the North sea
incident. He said that by agreement
between both parties Paris had now
been formally determined on for the
sessions Of the commission. These
might begin about Nov. l6, if arrange
ments We're possible to secure a tuil
attendance by that time. Otherwise
the sessions would open soon after
that date. The commission Wodld be
composed Of British, Russian, French
and American admirals, one from each
country, these four to select fifth
admiral. The sessions Will be held at
the foreign office, probably in the hall
OF the ambassadors. M. Delcasse is
arranging to give the commission
every facility. 1t is the understanding
that the commission will hear oral tes-
timony, chiefly that of the Russian
officers who were detached from their
ships at Vigo and the principal wit
nesses who testified at the Hull in
quest. The desire Of the authorities
here is to expedite the inquiry, as it
is understood to be the wish of all
concerned to reach an early decision.
NJ Delcasse's statement to the minis
ters was based upon official advices
showing the present status OF the nego-
tiOns, which continue to be open to
modification pending the formal adhe-
sion of both parties to the convention.
However, as the reports show that
both Great Britain and Russia are in
favor of the sessions being held in
Paris the officials here consider the
point is settled, but they recognize
that the composition and membership
of the commission and other details
will not be final until Russia formally
accepts the convention.
