But the Dukes hand fell upon his

he asked:

Joe took step nearer, and, lowering

"You speak me true? Me man. me

The verdict was clear and final. The
old DOCTOR who loved Gwen as his

doctor from the distant town, was
positive in his opinion. The scene is
clear to me now, after many years.

we stood gazing at one another with

"Oh, daddy, daddy. you know It's

yesterday at her home at Grand
Rapids as the result of burns
sustained in an explosion of gas
cline.
Mrs. fuller was washing silk
waist and a quantity of gasoline
was being used to remove some
stains. Just how the accident
happened is not clear but the pre-
sumption is that the room be-
came filed with gas which was
ignited in some manner or other
and caused the explosion. She
was very severely burned but
her injury was not at first re-
garded as fatal.
Prompt medical attendance
and everything that would avail
tie prevent the dreaded end was
had at once but to no avail and
a telegram received in Bemidji
this morning announces her
death. Mr.. fuller is quite well
known here and Mrs. Tuller is
also known to many Bemidji

to attend the funeral which will

FINE BEGINNING
Book Shower Last Evening Gives
the Public Library a
Big Boost.

The book shower held at the
opera house last evening was a
most successful affair. The hall
was completely filled with people
and the donation Of books ex-
ceeded the most sanguine expec-
tations. The program was rem
dered practically as advertised
and the various numbers were re-
ceived with enthusiasm and APP
probation. That SO good an en-
tertainment could be provided on
SO short a notice shows that Be-
midi has some exceptionally
clever local talent. -
After the program was con-
cluded lunch was quickly served
to the large audience, which
broke up into an informal social
gathering. The total number of
books donated during the even
ing was 615 and the library now
includes almost eight hundred
volumes. This is a very salts
factory beginning indeed and the
ladies who have labored so faith
fully to make the Bemidji Public
Library a success have every
reason to be congratulated.
The success of the book shower
was due to the united efforts of
the ladies, but the greater burden
Of the work fell upon the secre-
tary, Mrs. b. b. Mcdonald, and
the library owes much to her in

ern by the Clearwater Logging
Co, and there is but little ques-

terests of both demand the spur
and it is at present a practical
necessity in getting out timber.
The putting in of the spur will
necessitate a survey and will
keep several work trains busy
for some time. In the event that
the proposition goes through
work will be begun at once and
pushed to a completion as soon as
possible.

L. E. Davidson Says Its Neces-
sary to Successfully Drink
Blackberry.
TWENTY-SIX LOCAL LIQUOR
DEALERS MUST STAND FINES.
State Pure Food Commission
Finds Blackberry Brandy
to be Very Bad.

The man who drinks black
berry brandy always takes a long
chance, but the man who has
been chasing the corn with black
berry brandy in Bemidji has
been taking an unusually long
shot and placing his constitu-
tional welfare and good health in
grave jeopardy,ac to 2. E.
Davidson, editor of the Perham
Bulletin and state Inspector for
the Pure Food and Dairy Com
mission.
Late last fall Mr.. Davidson Wis
tied Bemidji and secured samples
Of the blackberry brandy sold at
twenty-six local liquor dealing
establishments. All we're put to
the usual chemical test and all
we're found to be very bad and
the food commission Immediately
proceeded against the dealers.
Seventeen fines were levied and
together with thee were paid
by the State Wholesale Liquor
Dealers association, but there
are still nine fines to be paid and
this is the matter Mr.. Davidson
is looking after today.
The twenty-six samples of
blackberry brandy Mr.. Davidson
secured in Bemidji were all
found to contain authorizations in
one form or another. Some con
tanned coal tar dye, others poison
Gus acids and Mr.. Davidson says
he cannot consistently recon-
mend any of it to the thirst par
Tor patrons of the city at large.
He exhibited two pieces of fan
mel which he had dyed with the
blackberry brandy obtained at a
local saloon. Both demonstrated
very effectively that the samples
contained coal tar dye in very
high degree and were sufficient
argument in favor of Rock in
spring W ter or snits Of lager as
compared with blackberry for a
chaser. Mr.. Davidson exhibited
the samples to several local de-
voices of the cheering liquid and
all straightway made a resolu-
tion that they would take theirs
straight after this.
The State Pure Food Commits
sion has been very active against
blackberry brandy for some time
and exposes similar to the one in
this city have occurred in fifty
towns in the state during the past
few months. 1t is not the fault of
the local dealer as a rule and the
manufacturer for the most part.
is held responsible.
The minimum fine is $25 and
costs and Mr.. Davidson does not
anticipate any difficulty in col
Letting them. A number of the
best bars in the city have not
been serving blackberry for some
time and the sale of the succulent
dainty has been greatly curtailed
all over the state by the efforts of
the commission.
