ut is well that old men should wear
Boards" said physician, "for when
one becomes old one should be spared
the exertion Of daily shaving. But I
would like to issue warning to all
beard wearers. I would like to shout
Keep your boards dry! in voice loud
enough to be heard around the world.
Were those words needed many cases
of sore throat, cold and influenza
would be avoided, and many deaths
would be indefinitely put off. So many
men with boards neglect when they
wash their faces to wipe their boards
dry! A beard a foot long demands a
lot of toweling. 1t should be toweled
after every wash good five minutes.
Otherwise it is damp. The owner goes
about with this damp thing upon his
delicate and sensitive throat. Then, If
he takes tonsilitis or influenza, he
blames the American climate. There
are too many damp boards among us.
Too many men, washing their faces
three or four times a day, have their
boards damp and clammy good three
hours daily."-New York Press.

Comfort, Tex, June 28.-In the
presence of the assembled wedding
guests at the home of his intended
bride Joseph Reinhardt, the man who
was to have been married to her, shot
and instantly killed Miss Eirnestine

probably fatal results. The hour for
the ceremony was at hand and the
guests were assembled in the parlor
of the home of the brides father.
Young Reinhardt walked into the room
and drew a pistol from his pocket,
leveling it at his sweetheart. She
threw up her hand as though to ward
off the danger and three shots We're
fired at her in rapid succession at
close range The first bullet entered
her heart killing her instantly. Rein.
hardt then turned the pistol upon him.
self and fired two bullets into his own
breast. One of them entered the left
and the other the right side. He is
not expected to survive.
- The cause of the tragedy is not
known. The relations between the
sweethearts have been typical of low
ers and the marriage was expected to
be happy.

feet of bark ran down to the
ground and followed root for a
distance. Then the bolt jumped
about thirty feet and struck a
nail which was protruding from
a board in the shed, knocked off
two boards from the outer wall
of the shed, passed through a
quantity Of coal, knocked the
bottom from an oil can, then
darted outdoors and followed the
walk to the kitchen. -
The lightning still kept on
with it's antics. 1t jumped clean
over the roof of the kitchen and
struck a nail on the side of the
house, knocking off two boards
as it did so, then entered a bed
room and ran along the electric
light wires to the fuse box, where
it proceeded to melt the screws
and a portion of the porcelain.
In this room we're sleeping
Mr.. and Mrs. Gagnon and their
little child. The child's bed was
not over a foot from the fuse
box, and the youngster woke up
with a cry, but was not hurt in
the least. Mr.. and Mrs. Gagnon
did not know that the house had
been struck until they heard the
child crying and then jumped up
and dressed in a hurry. Neither
was injured.
There was wild excitement
about the Gagnon residence for
few minutes after the lightning
stroke. People who were up
and dressed rushed down
the street to see what the damage
was and small crowd was soon
gathered.
The thunder clap had the
sharpness and volume of an ex-
plosion Of dynamite and those
who were asleep we're awakened

The storm played havoc with
the telephone exchange, putting
a large number of telephones out
of commission.

Wore Out His Finger.

There was brakeman on the Colo

lost his index finger on his right hand.
One day lady passenger who had
been much interested in the wonderful
works Of nature the brakeman had
pointed out to her along the road no.

ductor came through the car she said
to him:
Excuse me, sir, but can you tell me
how the brakeman lost his foretinger?
He seems to be such an accommodate

Eyes, mum, that's just it. He is so
accommodating that he wore that fin

STATE WILL GIT
SWAMP LANDS.
Problem Regarding Forest Re
serve Decided by United States
Supreme Court.

Washington, June 28.-<Minne-
sofa is to get the swamp lands
in Minnesota forest reserve, de-
spite the objection Of Clifford
Pinchot, chief of the forest
bureau.
Secretary Hitchcock has re-
ceived the opinion of the attorney
general on the question Of the
states right to this land, which
the latter was asked to render
last winter. The opinion is en-
phatic in the declaration that the
right of the state to swamp lands
in the forest reserve is not in
any way affected by the terms of
the act creating the reserve.
It will be recalled that State
Auditor Iverson and Attorney
General Young were confronted
with this contest as to the state s
rights when they were in Wash
ington last winter. They imme.
dlately asked for hearing, and
were requested to submit a brief
covering the states side of the
case. The contention that the
state is entitled to this land has
been upheld, and the practice of
the interior department in ad-
justing the swamp grant will not
be charged.
Under this opinion the state
will get about 100000 acres of
valuable land for which the selec-
tons have already been filed.
This will open up for settle
ment as near as we can ascer-
tain lands as follows: 4, 5l8 acres
at White Oak Point; 1851 Of
the Chippewa of Mississippi; and
25,399 of the Winnebegoshish,
cutting from the forest reserve
a total of 1851 acres Of the
235, 1000 acres. This land is
tributary to Cass Lake and will
to an extent relieve that town of
some of the burden it must
carry by being shut in.
AS soon as possible State
Auditor Iverson will place these
lands on the market, and they
will be open for settlement. =
Mr.. Iverson has put in some
hard work on this and naturally
feels good over his victory.

Omaha Judge Does Not Believe Friday
Appropriate.
Omaha, June 28.-"The efuGilXiOn
of Christ took place on Friday and I
do not think it appropriate to set the
execution of two murderers for that
day." said Judge Sutton when he SEN
fenced Jay O'Hearn and Harrison
Clarke to be hanged on Monday.
The statement of the court came as
surprise, for it upsets the long estab-
lished custom of making Friday hang
mans day" 49,. ..
my reason for fixing Monday con-
tinued the court, "is that think it
better to have these men meet death
on the day. following Sunday, which
is devoted to religious thought and
services, as they naturally will be in
better frame of mind to go to their
final reckoning on that day than any
other"

ENGINEERING MARVEL.
Canadian Pacific to Build Wonderful
BRIDGE.

Chicago, June 2S.-Plans have been
perfected by the Canadian Pacific to
construct bridge near Lethbridge,
Alberta, which will be an engineering
marvel and probably will be ranked
as one of the worlds wonders.
The plans call for structure
slightly more than mile long and
800 feet above the water level. AS
compared with other bridges of the
world the Brooklyn bridge is no longer
and is no more than half as high. The
world famed Tyne bridge in England,
which was built by Robert Stephen
son fifty years ago, is only half as
long and less than half the height.
The Canadian Pacific bridge will
span the Belly river and is to be built
for the purpose of shortening and
Strengthening the route between Leth-
bridge and Mcleod.

FEW DELEGATES
BUT MUCH WORK
Many Interesting Papers Are
Read and Important ResOlu-
tons Are Adopted.

Though there were not as
many in attendance at the drain
age convention at Wadena as
there should have been, those
present express themselves that
a lot of good has been done for
the cause of drainage and the
work the coming year will bring
this work nearer home, as the
work will be along the lines OF
education and every phase of it
will be given thorough news
paper discussion.
Wadena as a convention city is
as hospitable as the best of them
and her citizens did themselves
proud in the way they handled
the convention and could have
taken care of ten times as many
as were there.
At yesterday mornings ses-
sion G. H. Warner, the newly
elected president, delivered an
able address, which was we'll re-
ceived.
During the convention a num-
Der of excellent papers we're
read and addresses given. Some
of these the Pioneer expects to
reproduce from time to time.
A committee on resolutions
consisting of the following mem
bers: G. L. Kane, Benson; A. A.
Tone, Northome; Prof. Robert
son of the Crookston expert
mental school; l.. G. Simons,
Red Lake Falls and E. R. Sund-
berg, Cass Lake, presented the
following resolutions to the con-
vention, which were adopted.
We, the delegates, to the Min
nesota Drainage League, in Sec
ond annual convention assembled,
hereby adopt the following reso-
lutions:
BE 1T RESOLVED. That we
note with satisfaction the promi-
hence given the drainage move
ment in Minnesota and the evi-
dent determination of the whole
state to give the problems pre-
sented by natural conditions a
solution along the lines of scien-
tific and systematic drainage.
The acceptance of the general
proposition advanced by the
league by both political parties
makes the question an absolutely
non-partisan one, and one that
may be discussed upon it's
merits without appealing to pre-
JUDGES or passions along political
lines.
BE 1T RESOLVED, That we
most heartily endorse the atti-
tude of the members of congress
from Minnesota and particularly
Hon. Moses E. Clapp, Hon. Hal
vor Steenerson, Hon. A. J. VOL
stead and G. B. Buchanan, on this
great question, and give our un-
qualified assent to the bill now
pending in congress, commonly
known as the Stevenson bill, a
measure which in express terms
gives to Minnesota for the re-
clamation of her swamp lands all
funds received from the sale of
public lands within the state of
Minnesota.
RESOLVED, That we most
earnestly urge our representa-
tives in Congress to give their
support to the Hansbrough bill
which provides for the appoint
ment of an international COM
mission to consider the regula-
tion and control of the waters of
the Red River of the North.
RESOLVED, That we urge up.

for the passage of an act provid-
ing for state aid for the improve
ment and care of natural water

GIVE US RURAL ROUTES.
Adair County Should Not be Left
Out on this Score.

Why content ourselves with the old or
der of things and do without the advan-
tages the Government is willing to give
just for the asking? There ought to be
six or eight free rural routes centering in
to Columbia. The citizens of Adairc oun-
ty are as justly entitled to have daily
mail, at their doors, as any people be-
tween the Oceans. Free rural routes
ought to be establishd throughout this
section. They would prove of great
worth to Columbia and the country and
would bring to this section several
thousand dollars annually to meet the
expense of the service. There is no
need of futher waiting and the proper
legal steps should be taken at once. We
are ready and willing to join the process
sion, in fact, if move is not made at an
early date, we expect to stir a little on
this line if it is even game of going it
alone. Better mail facilities will bring
us all closer together.
