TO ESTABLISH
BRANCH OFFICE
Naval Recruiting Station Be-
ing Established in Be-
midi Today.

Capt. George Thorpe, in charge
OF the naval recruiting stations
in Minnesota and the two Da.
kotas, is in the city today from
st. Paul to establish a branch
Office in Bemidji. The establish
ment Of the station will be made
at once, but about a week will
elapse before an officer will ar
rive to take charge of the station.
Bemidji is regarded as one Of the
most promising cities for secur-
ing recruits in this section Of the
northwest, owing to it's location
in the midst Of a large number of
lum Der camps, and tbs thought
that a large number Of men may
be secured for the service here.
Capt. Thorpe states that the
naval service is perhaps the most
interesting Of any Of the u. S..
government. The term of en-
slistment for men now being Sc
cured in Minnesota and the Da-
kotas is four years. After a
recruit has first been accepted
be is sent to the navy yard at
San Francisco, where he receives
his preliminary training. From
there he goes to sea in one of the
large battleships, serves at one
Of the navy yards on the Atlantic
or Pacific coast, or is sent to one
of the island possessions of the
United States. No recruit is
given isolated service.
A mum Der of the men in charge
of sub stations under Capt.
Thorpe have been all over the
world twice during their first
term of enlistment, some having
taken caravan voyages into the
heart of Africa.
At the present time there are
10 Offices being operated in
Minnesota and North and South
Dakota. Three of these are cen.

MURDERER
TURNS TALE
Theodore Larsen, Who Con.
fessed Murder of Nels Nell
son Changes Story.

Crookston Times: Theodore
Larsen. the confessed murderer
Of Nels Nelson in this city Nov
ember Is, 1904, has turned his
tale and now denies any compile
ity whatever in the crime which
he has said to have confessed to.
Larsen day before yesterday ex-
hibited pronounced change OF
heart, and turned directly
around in his statements, saying
that whatever he had stated
while under the influence OF
liquor, or while his mind was
wobbly, was entirely foreign to
his memory and not correct.
He has in other words denied
the truthfulness of his own writ.
ten confession made before a
justice of the peace at Northome
in which he states point blank
and before witnesses that he
killed Nelson in this city, some
time in November. The change
in his demeanor is a startling
surprise to the authorities, but
of what use it will be to the ac-
cused is hard to determine. His
affidavit confessing the murder
of Nelson is in the possession OF
the county officials, and it will be
hard for him to prove that he
was not of sound mind when
appending his name to the in
strument, as several witnesses
as we'll as the justice of the peace
were present at the time.
Further than that he has related
his story Of the tragedy, in the
identical style and manner five
or six times to various people of
Northome and to Sheriff Gonyea.

She Spoiled the Picture.

Glenwood Springs Post: The peo-
pie of Glenwood will no doubt regret
to learn that Mr.. Buckwalter's NOV
ing picture of President Roosevelt on
his return from the bear hunt taken
just west of the hotel, has been
passed upon and ordered destroyed.
The Denver Post has the following
to say concerning the matter:
H. H. Buckwalter's moving pic
lures of President Roosevelt on his
return from his bear hunt have been
censored and all on account of
a woman. They probably never will
be exhibited.
During the presidents hunt on the
western slope Buckwalter arranged
to secure moving pictures of the
president on his return from camp.
II was agreeable to the president, so
the photographer went a little dis
tance outside of Glenwood Springs,
set up his camera and awaited the
coming of the president.
Now, there was in Glenwood
Springs = young woman, who made
herself extremely agreeable to Secre-
tary Loeb and other members of the
presidential party, withal she was a
bit tyrannical in her demands. She
got wind of the proposed pictures and
fastened to the place chosen by the
camera man. Then, just as the pres
ident's party came in view and the
long film began to unwind, she butt
ed into the picture.
As the young woman was attired
in riding habit considered not
strictly au fait in the effete east, the
films are to be destroyed.

The recent sharp advance in
the price of cotton caused a gen.
eral movement to the local mar
kets from the farms, a steady
buiness being done by the tuyers:
The advance in the price has paid
many to hold their cotton those
who were provident enough to
safely keep it from exposure to
the weather, but many who failed
to provide shelter did not realize
any more when they sold at ten
cents than they would have gotten
for the same cotton if sold last
fall at six cents. Much of the
cotton that has been brought in
the past two weeks was badly
weather beaten and subject to
picking and scaling. This loss
falls on the man who raised it by
hard toll but who did not take
care of it after he had gone to
great work and expense of plant
ing, working and gathering it.
Cotton is subject to serious loss
and damage from the weather,
Just as is corn, hay or potatoes
and should receive the same pro-
lection in order to save the far
mer from unnecessary loss, Why
cotton is not more carefully han
died is one of the questions hard
est to answer.

God Bless the Babies.

God bless the babies! what a
world without them! What a
souring and curtling up there
would be Of the milk of human
kindness for want of an outlet,
if there were no little cherubs to
caress and be foolish over. Often
and often when entertaining, with
some misgivinigs, the great hall
of a new place, my heart has leap
ed up at the sight of a tiny WOODEN
bootee, a very rainbow Of hope,
lying on the waxed floor, while
the sight of a wrecked tin train,
with an engine witout funnel or
wheels, has been as welcome as an
invitation to a party is to a
young lady.
God bless the baby! it's a better
tonic than all the bitters ever adj
vertised. The baby has a mission
and fulills it; it has an object in
life and a~ccomplishes it. # ever
it becoms necessary to thin out
the population. Hope the process
will not begin at the small end
Of the human race, for I affirm
and maintain that there is not
one baby too many in the whole

The Journal gives a full report
of Russell Day. at Verona in
this issue, having been able to
publish only a short resume in
last weeks issue. We publish
the speeches delivered in full and
feel that we can safely say that
never have there been more ap-
propriate expressions. The adj
dress of welcome by Senator L.
T. Taylor, delivered in his usual
eloquent and graceful style, is "a
gem of the first water" and the
entire audience were delighted
with the effort of their distin-
guished citizen. Mr.. Kincannon's
speech presenting the loving cup
was we'll timed and well received,
the audience endorsing the eulo-
gies pronounced on the old Vero-
ma boys who have gained distinc-
ton in other lands.
That Mr.. Russell's speech was
well received, goes without say
ing. The audience Of his old
friends enjoying every word and
regretting that on account Of a
recent illness he was unable to
talk at length. Possibly next to
the pleasure that the citizens had
in being with their old friend,
Ed Russell, was that derived from
the presence Of Miss Eoline, the
charming daughter of the guest
of honor. Miss Russell has been
reared in the city, amid environ
ments quite different from those
of her distinguished father in his
youth, and yet by her graceful
cordiaiity and charming mien,
she at once found the way to the
hearts of all present, it being
agreed that she was the true
daughter of her noble father and
sainted mother, and the commu-
nifty has acted on Senator Tay-
lor's suggestion and adopted her
as the Daughter of Verona.
Miss Laura Davis, whose early
childhood. was spent in Verona,
and who is most pleasantly re-
membered there, was among the
party and her presence added
much to the pleasure of the day.
Such days are rare.
