died at Hot Springs, Ark, Sat.
urday, Sept. %, was held yester-
day afternoon from the city hall,
The services were quite simple,
but impressive.
Shortly before 2 o'clock the
remains were taken from the
Hotel Markham, where they had
been held since their arrival in
i1Remidji, to the city hall, and
placed at the front end of the
hall. The services began i'm.
mediately with a funeral sermon
delivered by Rev. Thomas
Broomfield of the First Baptist
church. This was followed with
a hymn sung by the Bemidji
quartette, after which hon. W.
S.. McClenahan of Bralnerd made
a short address. In his speech
Judge McClenahan told of the
friendship that had existed be-
tween himself and the deceased,
and expressed deep sorrow at
the untimely death of a man who
had for years been so prominent
ly identified with the growth and
development of northern Mime
sofa. Another hymn by the
quartette and short prayer by
Rev. Broomfield concluded the
services. The floral decorations
were excellent, and the casket
was literally strewn with beauti.
ful and costly flowers.
After those in attendance had
been given an opportunity to
take a farewell glance at the
features of Mr.. Markham, the
remains we're taken to the hearse
by the pallbearers, who we're:
j. W. Irwin, W. A. Gould, J. F.
Gibbons, Judge M. A. Spooner,
G. NJ. Bacon and Thos. Bailey.

The funeral was one of the
most largely attended ever held
in BemidI. Long before the
services had commenced every
seat in the city hall had been
taken and before they had ended
standing room was at a premium
and large number Of people
could not gain admittance to the
hall.
The funeral procession to
Greenwood cemetery was headed
by the Bemidji band and humid
reds OF people in carriages es-
certed the remains to their last
resting place. A short service
at the grave concluded the exer-
|cises. and the remains were con-
signed to the tomb.

THROWING RICE.

I1HIIDlOu
Occasionally you see a newspaper
article ridlculing the pretty custom or
throwing rice and old shoes at newly
married couple. Any demonstration
by the friends Of the newly married
people is frowned upon by the groucAy
ones. When you find a man who is
opposed to giving a bride and groom
a good send off and hearty cheer as
they start upon their honeymoon you
generally find the man who Is so UNI
popular when he was young that no
one even wished him good luck when
he was married. Very few people now
adays believe in the modern charivai
or in what was once starting to be
pernicious custom Of painting trunks.
What possible objection can there he
to the throwing Of rice and confetti"
Hard hearted indeed is he who cam It
look at life with a smile as he sees
a happy party of young people at the
station bidding their young married
friends hearty goodby and showering
them with rice and old shoes. Don't

attentions do not enjoy it; they are
intimate enough with the gives so
that they understand the true friend
ship of the ones who are con mftting

the friends who are dong it. Did you
ever hear of any one go ns to train
to help start off young couple whom
they did not know? Every married
couple will recall that event in their
lives for years; they will recall it with
pleasure and it Will cause their hearts

ALLISON FOR EIGHT YEARS.

The Rockford Register recently de-
manded OF Hon. George d. Perkins.
who has been mentioned In connection
with the governorship, that he say
whom he would favor for the United
States senate. In event OF something
'incapacitating' Senator Allison.
Proper reply to this demand is made
by the Cedar Rapids Republican. In
words thnt follow, to-wit:
No man can say whom he would IA
vor for the senate at some indefinite
time in the future. No man ought 10
be asked to answer such question.
1t is not asked In good faith. but to
hole" fellowman. 1t is sort Of
hold UP. An effort to turn certain
men against one. The time to an
swer such questions is when Senator
Allison Is "incapacltated."
1t is agreed on all sides that sena-
tor Allison will be reelected two years
from this coming winter. His term
will be for siy years. so that in the
natural order OF things 1t Will be
eight years at least before there Will
be vacancy Any man would be a
fool to pledge himself in advance In
view Of the changes that might occur
in the meantime. Should anyone be
willing to enter into such an arrange
ment for the purpose Of securing the
governorship, thereby prostituting the
position to serve an individuals self
ish ambitions and interests he would
be lacking in fitness for the executive
office. The Republican characterizes
the Registers demand as hold up"
That Is what |. is and it is the best that
can be said Of 1t.

None will deny the railroads and the
atandpat faction the right of argument,
but there Is only one view to be taken
az this scheme to purchase press In
fluence to corporation purposes. 1t Is
essentially dishonest and corrupt, an
appeal to greed and a trap for neces-
sity. Whoever offers money for edi-
torial influence offers a bride and who
ever accpets it sells himself for a

paper is its soul. The editor who sells
it puts himself on the market as GER
tainly as any hog or steer sold at the

The Times Republican from Its
knowledge Of the character of county
publishers and editors predicts a
wholesale reputation Of this insult Of
purchase offered them by corporation

ported by the fact that county editors
have already exposed and denounced
the scheme to substitute their opinion
and control their expression. The
trick will fail even with most of tn,
