Tenstrike Bemidji Nebish
Gentleman Credited With
Startling Ambition.
THE ADVANTAGES OF HAVING
MANY PLACES AS RESIDENCE.
A Novel Scheme Which Appears
TO Lack Nothing of Being
Feasible.

Andy Danaher, commissioners
nominate from the fifth district,
is credited with being possessed
Of an ambition that quite out
Herods anything ever before
dreamed Of in this or any other
county on the top of the poor old
earth.
The scope of Andy's ambition,
so the story runs, is limited by
nothing less than the centering
in his own person of the entire
political government of Beltrami
county. Let US make no mistake.
1t is not Of being a boss that
Andy dreams; nothing so crude
and insignificant will do for
Andy. 1t is the government itself
that he must be. With Louis
XIV he would exclaim, II am the
State -
The manner in which this is to
be accomplished is a credit to Mr..
Danaher's genius. Only man
named Andy could ever conceive
so clever a scheme. This IS the
manner Of it: he is already as
good as elected missioner
from the fifth district; he is also
a resident of the fourth district;
being in business at Nebish-
what more simple than to be
elected from the fourth district
too? Then he is a legal resident
of the first district, his family
making Bemidji their home
why not be elected from the first
district also? To think is to act
with Andy and it is already as
good as done.
Two years hence behold the
board of county commissioners
First district, Mr.. Andy Dana
her, Fourth district, Mr.. Andy
Danaher, Fifth district, Mr..
Andy Danaher, we need not both
er to call the roll for the other
two; they will draw their per
diem, tits true, but Mr.. Danaher
will do the rest.
1t is said that Mr.. Danaher de
MES this marvellous story in it's
entirety; says it is a regular
''cock and bull story" but there
is a suspicion abroad that Mr..
Danaher, like other great men,
masks his real purposes behind
this bold and bluff denial.

Independent Candidates Get
ting Ready to File in
Beltrami County.
j. F. GEORGE WILL FILE FOR
.. COUNTY AUDITOR.
Hot Contest Will Be That Be-
teen Sheriff Bailey and
AL HaZen.

Now that the returns, for the
primary election are practically
all in there is considerable specu-
lation as to independent candi-
dates. 1t is claimed by some
that a large democratic and popu-
list vote was cast for the republi-
can candidates at the primary
but that at the general election
the bulk of this vote may be
found for independent candi-
dates.
Interest today centers in the
announced made by J. F.. George
of this city that he will be an in
dependent candidate for county
auditor. Mr.. George is at the
present time bookkeeper and
general manager of the offices of
Irwin & O'Brien and is without
doubt one of the most popular
gentleman in Bemidji. He is
admirably qualified by natural
ability and by experience for the
duties of the office and is we'll
known throughout the county.
More interest will perhaps be
taken in the contest for sheriff
than that for and other office.
Sheriff Bailey has filed as an
independent candidate against
the republican nominee, AL
Hazen. Both gentlemen are well
known and both are redoubta BILE
campaigners while each are
backed by strong friends and
the contest will be a Titanic one.
Commissioner b. B. Anderson
has fled as an independent candi-
date in the Fourth district while
it is rumored that Con ThOmp,
son of Blackjack will be candi-
date against George Gunderson
in the Second. A. M. Crowell
of Turtle is already prosecuting
his campaign as an independent
candidate against County Attor-
ney Loud.

Wet Weather in Wheat Belt.

Reports from Crookston and
other cities in the wheat belt in
dictate that the continued wet
weather which has been prevail
ent all through the Red River val
ley for some time past is inter
fering materially with threshing
and that some grain will be left
in stacks oyer winter. Thresh-

also report similar condition of
affairs and express the opinion
that quite a large percentage of
grain will not be threshed this

GLOBE SIGHTS.

IFrom the AtchiSOn Globe.
We have never yet seen a shape like
those built in the fashion books.
There is a case of blondined hair in
town that is making the dog howl.
The wickedest thing an Atchison man
ever heard of was a woman who drank
whisky.
Church pillars are mighty proud
when people from other denominations
attend their church affairs.
If a woman book agent wears skirts
that rustic loud enough, no woman will
close her doors against her.
All story books make women out to

reason that women are the ones who
buy them.

gress, well bet he won't speak to US.
1t does make a difference.

When a man reaches As, he should
cut off a lock of his hair so that he

One of the funniest things that hap
pens in real life, is when a big man
with a fierce moustache gets up to sing
bass solo and his voice turns out to
be a weak croak.
When there is a dust storm, and a
woman gets caught out in it, she
means that it is only a few days since
she washed her hair and now it has
to be done over again.
If a man walks past house twice in

PLAN OF UNION.
Three Universities at Washington
May Be Merged.

Washington, March IA plan has
been suggested to unite the Columbian.
American and National universities of
the District of Columbia to form the
nucleus of a great national university
at the capital city. The trustees of the
American university with it's endow-
ment of over $1,000 600 and it's wide
tract of ground in the northwestern
suburbs nave discussed the project
Bishop McCabe. head of the university,
has spoken favorably of the idea Pres
ident Needhan1, of the Columbian uri-
versity and a number of the Sther Of
ficers of that institution have expressed
a willingness to meet the American I'M
iversity people and consider the pro-
ject. The National university officers
are favorable. 1t is entirely probable
that within the next few months such
a meeting of the different interests will
be had.
1t is suggested by friends of the com
bination plan that such a merger would
retain at least one of the strong fea-
lures of each of the chief institutions
and would give much greater financial
strength. The union plan chiefly, how
ever, is for the establishment of real
university post graduate work.

back into private life. There is now
the question whether the dressed beef
combination is not willfully lodging
the obedience to the injunction which
it promised. Finally, before the ulti-
mate decision in the Northern Securi-
ties case is known, we hear statements
from the centers of finance that if the
decision is adverse to the combination
its managers will promptly proceed to
attain the purpose enjoined by another

SMITH WENT WRONG.
How He Missed Fire on the Wichita
Convention.

That the recent Wichita convention
was all planned beforehand seems to be
pretty well proven by Fred Dumont
Smiths paper this week. Senator Smith
knew about the plans for the conven-
ton laid down by the new machine
leaders, and he proceeded to write his
report of the convention beforehand
At that time it was proposed to make
Harry Richter temporary chairman and
w. r. Stubs permanent chairman, ana
the leaders changed their plans just be-
fore the convention, shutting out Ricn-
ter altogether and making StubbS both
temporary and permanent chairman
In Senator Smiths report of the COLI
vention appears the following:
III. E. Richter was chairman and it
goes without saying he made good
one He is one of the ablest parlia-
mentarians in the state, Is quick On
his feet and made a model chairman
One of the features of the convention
was the ovation w. r. Stubs of Law
renee received when he took the gavel
as permanent chairman
OF course this would have been all
right if the leaders hadn't switched.
On every other proposition Smiths re-
port was all right. even to the ticker.
He published the entire ticket as nomi-
mated, including Clark A. Smith for
Justice and Wheatley and Walker for
railroad commissioners, showing that
these candidates had been agreed upon
nv the machine that ran the conven-
ton. The other railroad commissioner
Smith does not mention. That was in
doubt up to the time the nomination
was made 1t had been promised both
to J. w. Robson and ]. s. George, ana
it was the only nomination which had
not been definitely settled before the
convention met by those who ran the

ltTom the Pittsburg Dispatch
The fact that Secretary Cortelyou is
now being urged by western congress-
men to investigate the dressed meat
trust, which, they say, is crushing the
cattle raisers in their sections, carries
food for thought which goes deeper
than the operations of that particular
combination. The dressed beef. combine
was enjoined last year. The renewal of
complaints evokes a mental query:
What if enjoined trusts decline to obey
the injunction?
There is a generally received theory
that the Injunction is all-powerful and
the person who disregards 1t is liable
to have something happen to him.
There is some body to this legal tenet
when the injunction is Ieveled against
ordinary people. But the fact is that
the doubt raised in the case of the
meat trust is by no means the first
case which suggests a wonder if that
powerful dictum is as big as the big
gest corporate powers.

tremendous hail storm. The surface is
churned into foam by the frantic efforts
OF thousands of fish to break through
the net. The smaller fish are
able to get away through the
wide meshes of the net. Some or the
shad even escape by jumping bodily
out of the water and getting into safe
water over the top of the net
Slowly the net nears the shore with
its struggling mass of silvery shad, and
Capt. Rice drops his sing-song ana
prepares for action. His orders to the
men are sharp and snappy- Careless
ness at this stage means the loss OIL
valuable fish. for if the ropes are not
held taut the shad can escape over the
top. Sometimes the veteran leaves his
post between the lines and takes a
hand himself at the hauling. AS soon,
however, as the fish begin TO come
within Selling distance Capt. Rice takes
the center of the stage, SO to speak,
for no one but the leader and his trust
ed Heutenants handles the fish, A boat
is propelled into the middle OF the mass
of shad, now in comparatively shallow
water, and the fish are caught and
thrown into the boat.
They are usually so numerous that
they can be picked up by hand from
the meshes of the net. When the eaten
seems to be all in the boat the net is
hauled UP, the last remaining stray
glers taken out of the meshes and de-
in the boat, and the net is Immediately
got ready for a second cast.
Then the spectators descend from
their posts of vantage on the bank ana
bid for the latest shad in the heap
1t is considered something to be proud
of to be able to say, IT bought shad
at the fishing bank, fresh from the
river, still kicking. My, but 1t was
fineI" So quite profitable business is
done as soon as the net is hauled in,
provided the day is fine and the spec
tators are many.
The sharps predict an unusually fine
shad season, for the signs are proplt-
ious and the rivers have been well
stocked. A good catch will net as many
as three thousand shad at one haul, al
though the record haul is much greater
than that. The men are paid by the
week and boarded by Capt. Rice. They
usually gather for the shad fishing at
the same time every year. just as har-
vesters gather for the harvesting
