Active Interest.
Washington, May 25.-An effort was
made during the day to induce Presi-
dent Roosevelt to take an active inter
est in the complications which have
arisen in the affairs of the Equitable
Life Assurance society. Clarence
Whitman, president of the Merchants
association of New York, had a con
ference with the president on the sub

not obtainable, but it is known that
Mr.. Whitman urged the president to
take up the subject with view either
to ordering a government investigation
or to making recommendations to con-
gress on the subject of insurance leg

It can be said that, up to this time,

Bemidji Man Sees Bright
Future and Much Pros
perity for the City.
RAILROAD BUILDING TO AID
DEVELOPMENT.
Street Car Line, Many Factories
anc Union Depot for Future
Metropolis.

stThere is not the least doubt
in my mind whatever" said one
of the most prominent business
men of Bemidji today, ''but that
Bemidji five years from now will
be the metropolis of northern
Minnesota. Everything goes to
indicate that the town will grow.
prosper and become a great
center. Anyone with half an
eye should be able to see that
there can be no letup' in the
growth of the city. From the
time the frsthouse was built on
the TOWNSHIP of Bemidji the town
has steadily increased in size
and Importance, not by spurts,
but by a steady, natural growth,
and even at the present time
there is only one or two towns in
the northern part of the state
that can compare with it as a
business center.
IA natural railroad center and
a natural location for factories of
every kind, there is no plausible
reason why it should not become
the wholesaling and manufactur-
ing city Of Northern Minneso,a
At the present time there are
two railways being built north
into a territory heretofore unde-
veloped and another extension is
being pushed to the Canadian
boundary. Bemidji is geograph
ically situated where it will BE-
easily accessible from the vast
territory that will be settled up
and this will bring hundreds Of
thousands of dollars into the CITY
every year.
"My prediction is that within
FIVE years the city will be provid-
ed with street car service. a
number of large manufacturing
plants and a union depot, and
will haYe population at least
double that now claimed.

PORTLAND MAY
BE CUT OUT
Editors Plan Sojourn in Cuba
Instead of Visit to the
Worlds Fair.

The proposed visit of the Min.
nesota Editorial association to
the Portland fair, which has been
discussed for some time past,
may be given up and instead the
editors may take a trip to Cuba
next fall. It was found after
numerous inquiries had been
made that the expense of taking
the Portland trip would be alb.
normally large, and this is one OF
the reasons why the proposed
visit will probably be given up.

Explosion Follows Attempt to Start
Fire With Oil.
St. James, Mimi, May 25.-Mrs.

Neighbors ran to her assistance, but

Two Afghan Priests on Mission to Con-

London, Aug. 24-Shekh Quilliam.
the head of Islamism in England. was
puzzled by two strange men who visit
ed his Office i'm Liverpool few days
ago After several vain attempts to
talk with them in Arabic. Turkish,
and Persian, he found they could un-
derstand Hindustani. They told him a
strange story They were Afghan
priests. The elder man of the two.
who was sixty years Of age. was, in
December. 1903. teaching the younger
when an angel appeared and command
ed him to proceed to England immedi-
ately to hold up the hands of Sheikh
Quilliam and help him lead the Engllsh
into Islamism. The men started the
next day and walked from kandahar
through the Khyber Pass into India.
Thence they went to Bombay. support
ing themselves by preaching on the
way From Bombay they succeeded
in reaching Marseilles. and walked
thence to Bordeaux. From that place
they took q steamer to London. where
they stayed for some time with Indian
sailors whom they met at the dock.
Then they walked to Liverpool and
reached Sheikh Quilliam after jour-
ney of nearly two years. the details OF
which would be a worthy subject for
Kipling.
Sheikh Quilliam persuaded them from
commencing TO preach at once, as he
said it would be impossible to convert
the English without knowing their lam
guage, but the mullah insisted. He
said he knew three-fourths of the
Koran by heart besides 5000 hadees, or
transitional stories of Mahomet. He
would stand up and recitc these
in the streets of Liverpool. and
felt sure that even If the
people could not understand them, they
would be charmed into accepting the
faith. Meanwhile he could learn the
English language. He declined offers
to send him and the younger man back
to India. saying if he could not preach
in England he would go to South
Africa. as he had been told that there
We're many Moslems in Cape Colony

EVERY MORNING
VIII Q a Good Morning If q Man Will
Live Right.

Every morning is q good morning to
one who is feeling we'll. There il no
such thing as bad weather. There are
! no blue Mondays or gloomy sundays
Of life. II
The good cheer Of health, combined
Win pure life. serves TO turn every
morning INTO good morning and every
evening into good evening.
Ihe best way to wish ony one good
morning or good evening is to set be-
fore them the example Of right living.
FOR 1t Is through right living that rood
morning and good evening come.
II is OF no use to say grace over 4
oadiy cooked meal. The grace win not
make 1t agree with the stomach,
Ihere Is no use to say good morning or
good evening unless we do the things
that will make good morning and ROOD
evening. 1t Is. indeed, Il good morning
for anyone who has done an honest
days labor at some useful employnent.
and has found eight hours of sound and
refreshing sleep. OF course. It is a
good morning when one does that.
There is one thing that Is needed. and
that Is to get right or to become ad.

We like the weather when we are ad.
justed to the conditions about us.
There Is nothing wronS with the
weather. The blame Is with ourselves.
The anaemic nervous woman shudders
at the touch Of the spring zephyry
which would be refreshing and grateful
to the healthy person. Tho constant,
fear of drafts, repeated dread Of expo
sure to cold or heat are symptoms OF
bad health. If we would behave our
selves as well as the weather does there
would be no cause for complaint. It u
refreshing to come into the presence Of
the man or woman who can honestly
say good morning, good afternoon, good
eveElng-who can say it In such way
that you feel that they mean 1t.
Good feelings are contagious. An ex.
cess Of vitality IS catching. Good
humor, that bubbles over. that cannot
be restrained even in the presence o&.
uncongenial company, is wholeeofns
and healthful. S4. t.tis
Lots Of good, red blood Is conducive
TO good manners, good morals and good
morning. Any person who can honest-
ly say good morning has had a fairly
cecent sleep the night before. A hearty
good morning Is a certificate Of self
restraint and a clear conscience. .
The devotee of sensuous pleasure has
rarely the honest right to say GOOD
morning. There are no good mornings
for him. Dissipation has soured the
atmosphere and poisoned the sunrise
for him. If he says good morning at
all he lies. 1t Is merely a perfunctory
His languid manner and icy
touch expose tho falsehood covered by
