NOMINATION
SEEMS SURE
C. {. Dinehart Easy Leader
for State Treasurer
Nomination.
VISITS TODAY FOR THE
SECOND TINE.
Making WhirlWind Campaign
Saws Sentiment Is Friendly
All Over State.

G. @. Dinehart of Slayton, who
is seeking the republican nomi
nation for state treasurer, spent
last night and part of today in
Bemidjl in the interest of his can
didacy. He left on the afternoon
train for Crookston.
This is Mr.. Dinehart's second
visit to this city within the last
month and he now apparently has
things here lined up in good shape
for the Duluth convention. He
has made a wide circle of friends
and supporters during his two
visits.
The Slayton man has made
whirlwind campaign during the
last two months, covering every
part of the state thoroughly, and
it looks as though he had the nom
ination clinched. From the tone
of the state press sentiment is
most favorable to him in every
county he has visited.
Dinehart, with characteristic
enterprise, engaged his h cad
quarters at the convention city,
the very day Duluth was chosen
by the state central mittee,
and he intends to carry the fight
right up to the last minute,
even though he has promise of
having the field pretty much to
himself when the big show is
called to order
Mr.. Dinehart is connected Off
cially with the State bank of
Slay ton. and his father is one of
the big financial men of South
ern Minnesota.

attendance after this week, three
of whom are the teachers senior
by several months. @
Partrldges are quite numerous
in the "openings,." and it's very
easy work to shoot the "Drum-

RETURN FROM
| SCENE OF QUAKE.
Mr.. and Mrs. H. A. Miles
Back in Bemidji Reports
Not Exaggerated.

y Efslf
Mr.. and Mrs. II. A. Miles re,
turned last night from Los
Angeles, CAL, where they have
spent the past month. They
we're at Long Branch, a small
town few miles from Los
Angeles, when the earthq uake
occurred in San Francisco and
the shock was distinctly felt by
them. They Immediately re
turned to Los Angeles, where a
shock occurred at 1891 on the
same day of the San Francisco
disaster. This was not severe,
but cups and other dishes stand
ing upon tables were overturned.
Mr.. Miles states that the pub
lished reports of the earthquake
in southern California were not
exaggerated. I'm fact said Mr..
Miles, "they are not bad enough
by half.
81 had an opportunity Of seeing
several of the ruined towns on
our return and can truthfully
say that no adequate description
will ever be given. Large brick
and stone buildings twisted in all
imaginable shapes, railroads and
street car lines bent and de-
stroyed and thousands of home
less men, women and children
met our gaze as we passed
through the stricken district.
Naturally, after the earthquake,
we were very anxious to fee
from the country, but were
forced to wait 80 hours on ac-
count of the destruction of a por.
tion of the Southern Pacific rail-
way. Finally, we boarded a
train in Los Angeles and started
on our journey, but were delayed
many times on account of the
dozens of relief trains that were
hurrying to San Francisco and
other cities affected by the earth
quake, all east bound trains being
ordered to take siding for the re
lief trains. At one place I saw
13 baggage cars packed with
nothing but tents, tent poles,
etc, and dozens of trains carry
ing food: clothing and other
necessary articles were passed
by u.s. = .s-.s.
Mr.. Miles is free to admit that
he and Mrs. Miles we're thor
oughly frightened and state that
the 80 hours they were forced to
wait to leave Los Angeles we're
longer than any they eyer ex-
perienced before. j.

Tobacco iniures Boys.

General Baden Powell, writing to
: Bolton schoolboy, says he believes
that smoking by fellows who are
still growing does them an infinite
amount Of harm, and those who are
sensible don't take up smoking un-
til after they are twenty years of
age or so. Fellows who smoke be-
fore that age generally turn out rot
ters afterward. They only do it
because they think it looks swagger
and manly to smoke, but any man
who has done any scouting or big
game hunting knows that they are
fools"

How They sssd.

-
A father and his two sons wish to
cross q river, which it is impossible
to do without q boat. They have a
boat which will carry only sixteen
stone (s24 poundsl but the father
weighs sixteen stone, and each Of
the sons weighs eight stone. Yet in
less than half an hour they are ali
across the river. How do they man
age it?
The riddle is an old one, but a
new answer, offered by an English
paper. IS more ingenious than the
trick solutions that the reader prob
ably remembers. Here it, is:
The two sons cross in the boat.
One goes back to the father. The
father then crosses. The other son
goes back again with the boat, and
then the two sons cross together.

Washington, April Is. Tele-
grams have been received by Rep
resentative Bede from residents
along the upper Mississippi indi-
eating a REPETITION of the disas-

these telegrams before General

measures possible to prevent the
floods.
Major Derby has discretionary
power to open or close the gates
in the dams. There is no report
on file here showing the present
stage of water at the dams and
nothing to indicate how much ad.
ditional water may be stored.
Bede will consult Chair man
Burton Of the house committee

situation in Minnesota. No relief
legislation will be enacted this

session, but Bede is hopeful that
the com mittee can be induced to
adopt some policy looking to the
construction of an Aitkin cutoff,
or storage dams across the river

latter plan was recommended in
a report of the board of engineers
which investigated the upper riv-
er conditions last summer.

''Unloose the horses" said Sir Nigel.

banners, for our souls are Gods and our

Saint George and for Englandp
| Sir Nigel had scarcely spoken when the
mist seemed to thin in the valley, and to
shred away into long ragged clouds which
| trailed from the edges of the cliffs, and
the sun broke through. 1t cleaned and
| shimmered with dazzling brightness upon
the armor and headpieces of vast body

barranca from one cliff to the other, and
extended backwards until their rear-guard
twere far out upon the plain beyond. Line
after line, and rank after rank, they
checked the neck of the valley with
long vista of tossing pennons, twinkling
lances, waving plumes and streaming
| banderoles, while the curvets and gam
| bades of the chargers lent constant mo-
| ton and simmer to the glittering, many
| colored mass. A yell of exultation, and
| forest of waving steel through the length
and breadth of their column, announced
that they could at last see their entrapped
enemies, while the swelling notes OF
| hundred bugles and drums mixed with the
clash of Moorish cymbals, broke forth into
proud peal of martial triumph. Strange
it was to these gallant and sparkling cava-

of men upon the hill, tie thin lines u WV

with armor rusted and discolored from long

ess had been the campfire talk of every
army in Christendom. Very still and silent
they stood, leaning upon their bows,
while their leaders took counsel together
in front of them. No clang of bugle rose
from their stern rank, but in the center
waved the leopards of England, on the
right the ensign of their Company with
the roses of Loring. and on the left over
three score of Welsh bowman, there float
ed the red banner of Merlin with the red
