STEPHENS BOOM
ON THE RANGE
Ninth District Candidate Gaining
Much Strength Around Du-
Iuth, the Report.

Deputy Sheriff Grin Daniels
arrived in the city this morning
from Duluth and other sections
in the northwestern part of the
state where he has been for the
past couple Of weeks looking
after a claim in Cook county,
says the Crookston Times.
In conversation with a Times
representative he stated that he
had covered the state north and
east Of Duluth where there is at
the present time a great boom
for Senator A. D. Stephens for
the republican nomination for
governor. Parties out there who
had watched his work in the
state senate are now exerting
every effort in his behalf in an
endeavor to land the nomination
at the state convention that will
be held at Duluth June 18th.
Being SO far from this section
of the state the great amount of
favorably comment and the work
that was being done was an
agreeable surprise to .the deputy
sheriff of Polk who states that the
outlook in that section could not
re better than at the present
time, for the prospects Of the
Crookston candidate.

POLICE NAB THE
.BEMIDJI KID
Carl Sathers Arrested in Mime
apOlis for Sending Obscene
Matter Through Mail.

Carl Sathers, who styles him
self the "Bemidji Kid and is
known in this city to the police,
has got into trouble in Mime.
apolis, according to the papers
from that city.
Sathers belongs in Minneap.
oils, say the local police, and
came to this city a month or sc
ago and did some crooked gamb-
ling. The police Immediately
ran him out Of town and he went
back to the Flour city. The
Minneapolis Tribune has the fol
lowing to say:
Carl Sathers, who was ar
rested by Detectives Passolt and
Johnson Wednesday, was turned
over to a federal officer Saturday.
The charge against him is send
ing obscene matters through the
mails.
Sathers rejoices in the pseu-
donym of the Bemidji Kid, and
after the gang of which he was
an honored mem Der broke up,
he went to Bemidji and is said to
have operated extensively.
Finding that he needed some
more help, he wrote to William
Moran at 314 Hennepin avenue.
Moran was an old pal of Sathers,
and therefore greatly trusted. It
appears that Moran was serving
little term at the workhouse.
and that his mail was intercepted
by the police. AS a result, the
arrest of the Bemidji Kid re.
suited.
In his letter to his friend,
Sathers offers Moran free tickets
to the town in the northern part
of the state if he will only bring
two women with him. He also
says that he is greatly in need OF
'keys" and asks Moran to bring
a supply with him.
"With their help we can do
some very good jobs here" he
says.
Sathers IS a Scandinavian, and
in his letter he asks how his old
comrades are getting along
especially does he want to know
how his old chief, Myron Pilman.
alias Greener, is doing it, and
whether he is keeping out of jail

GunpOwder.

The explosive nature Of gunpowder,
which Is made of charcoal, sulphur and
saltpeter, is due to the fact that when
fired the charcoal and sulphur are
burned at the expense of the oxygen
IN the saltpeter, much heat is devel-
oped and large quantities of gas are
produced. This gas exerts great pres
sure on the sides of the gun; hence
ITS disruptive or propulsive effects.
When CUR powder is fired in a gun the
explosion is not instantaneous. The
expansive force of the gases produced

were so sudden as to be practically in

VOTE NEARLY UNANIMOUS
ONLY THREE SENATORS OPPOSE
r. PASSAGE OF THE RAIL.
ROAD RATE BILL.

Washington, May 21.-The railway
rate bill passed the senate by vote
of II to 8. The only votes cast
against it were those Of Senators For
aker Of Ohio and Morgan and Pettus
of Alabama.
The bill now goes to conference be.
tween the committees of the two
houses. The general opinion is that
the agreement of the conference COM
mittee will sustain the bill in prac-
tically the form that it passed the
senate.
Foraker of Ohio, the Republican
who voted against the bill, has been
consistent in his attitude on the meas
ure. He has been against it since it
was introduced. He contended that it
was unconstitutional and worthless,
in season and out of season, and re-
fused to compromise.
Senators Morgan and Pettus of Ala
=bama, both more than eighty years of
age, voted no because the Confederate
legislature proclaimed the doctrine of
states rights and they think the bill
is not in consonance with that doc.
trine.
It was after seventy days of almost
continuous deliberation that the SEN

WILL FIGHT FOR RIGHTS
BRITISH WOMEN suFFRAGlsTs
DENouNcE PREMlER,s REPLY
TO THEIR DEMANDS.

London, May 21.-Escorted by forty
members of parliament nearly 400 wo-
men snffragists representing organiza-
tons from all parts of the country in
teryieWed Premier Campbell-Banner-
man at the foreign Office and present
ed their claims that women be allowed
to vote. Only eight members Of the
numerous deputation were allowed to
speak and in accordance with previ-
Gus arrangement each speaker was
limited to five minutes. But in the
aggregate of forty minutes the pre-
mier heard about all there was to hear
in favor of female suffrage
The immediate granting of women's
rights was the unanimous demand Of
the speakers, some of whom present
ed to the premier their minimum de-
mands," claiming that immediate leg
islation bestowing on women the right
to vote was necessary and declaring
that promise to take the matter up
at the next session of parliament
would not satisfy them.
One speaker menacingly declared
that the women were prepared to sac
rifice their lives in behalf of their de-
mands.
Asks Visitors to Be Patient.
The premier smiled upon this
strangely assorted gathering of wo-
men, including as it did ladies of title
side by side with factory employees,
and said he sympathized with the OBJ
ject of the deputation, but asked his
visitors to be patient until the gov
eminent became more united ir favor
of the extension of the franchise to
women. Personally he believed that
women were as well qualified as men,
and perhaps better, to exercise the
right to vote and in his opinion the
deputation had made out conclusive
and irrefutable case. Speaking for
others, however, as well as himself
the premier pointed out that it was
necessary to preach the virtue of pa
tience. 81. -. .-...
Members of the. deputation subse-
quently reported the result of their
Interview with the premier to great
gathering of their fellow suffragists
on the Thames embankrnent, who
loudly groaned their dissatisfaction.
A monster meeting on Trafalgar
square closed the days proceedings.
The suffragists made fiery speeches,
threatening to secure their rights by
fighting land go to prison if neces-
sary." -..

SAVE TWO FROM
GRAVE IN LAKE.
Travelling Men Rescue Unknown
Fishermen Who Tipped Over
in Lake This Morning.

& B 1 :
Two unknown men had mar
row escape from drowning early
this morning while fishing in
Lake Bemidji. Their boat tipped
over and, unable to gain hold Of
the upturned craft because Of
the slippery bottom, they were
rescued in the nick Of time
through the heroic efforts of two
travelling men, W. Q. Currie Of
BemidJi and j. B. Uhnch of Min
neapolis.
The two unknoWns are labor
ing men living in this city and
had anchored their boat, a fiat
bottom and rather tippy scow, a
hundred feet or so from shore
directly in front of the M. & I.
depot. Currie and Uhnch were
fishing in a boat at a little dis
lance.
One of the unknown hooked a
fish and as he was having a hard
time landing it, his companion
came to his assistance. The two
men unthinkingly threw their
weight at the same time onto the
edge Of the craft and in an in
slant over they went.
Frightened and a little dazed,
the two struggled to get the boat
rightside up again, but their
hands Slipped and the boat turned
and turned. They kept this up
for several minutes, but were
fast becoming exhausted when
the travelling men reached their
side and dragged them out of the
water.
The four then went ashore and
the rescued men rushed away
for home SO quickly that the
rescuers did not have time to
learn their names.

New York, Feb. 22.--The McCurdys
