LITTLE THREE YEAR OLD
CHILD FATALLY BURNED
Alice, the Daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs.
John NordIund Sets Fire to Cloth
inq....Dies in Two Hours.

Eddy, Polk County, November
5.-(Special to Pioneer.)-A most
terrible and fatal accident ACQUIRED
at the home of Mr.. and Mrs. John
Nordlund, this county, last Saturday
morning.
At the time of the accident the
father was away helping a neighbor
thresh and the mother had gone to
the stable to do the chores, leaving
their daughter Alice, three years of
age alone in the house.
Soon the mother heard scream
and rushing to the house found that
her little daughter was a mass of
flames. She did not lose her pres
ence of mind but wrapped the child
up at once, saving further destruc-
ton. But too late the deadly flames
had done their work and the little
child lived but two hours after the
accident.
The bereaved parents have the
sympathy of the entire neighbor-
hood. It will never be known what
the cause of the accident was but it
is is presumed the little one was
playing with the fire at the time.

enced in the commission business,
and comes with the highest recon.
mends.
Hugh ]. McClearn is a Duluth
commission broker, and his connec.
ton with the company affords the
concern the advantage of a personal
representative at the head of the
lakes, the gateway for the produce
and commission business of the
Northwest.
The new company will in addi-
ton to the commission business
deal extensively in fruits, and have
already shipped in several car loads
of apples for distribution in this
section.
A large and up-to-date plant
equipped with the latest inventions
in the cold storage line, gives this
new company unequaled facilities
for handling and storing everything
pertaining to the commission, bust
ness, in addition enabling them tc
take advantage of the market
when conditions are right for liberia
buying.
The establishing of this concern
here makes Bemidji one of the best
markets in the Northwest for the
products of the farmer, and is one o1
the most important enterprises in the
furthering of the development o.
this section.

RUMOR HAS TWO JOHNSONS
HEADING THE DEMOCRACY

at Mount Clemens, Mich, within
the next two weeks.
It is expected that R. T. O'Con-
ner, the big chief of Minnesota
Democracy, will soon make trip to
Mount Clemens for his health. Gov
ernor John A. Johnson's availability
as democracy's candidate for presi-
dent next year is certain to be one
of the leading questions considered
at Mount Clemens.
Lieutenant Governor L. Stuy-
vesant Chanler of New York is not
now regarded as a factor in Demo
cratic presidential politics. He is
an Independence leagurer and was
elected as such a year ago, stumping
New York state side by side with
Hearst. Tammany politicians are
turning to Tom L. Johnson Of Ohio
as vote-getting candidate for a
place on the national ticket. A
Johnson and Johnson combination
is within the range of PROBABILITIES.
While Tammany does not expect to
carry the state of New York as
against Roosevelt or Taft, it is
figured out by certain eastern politi-
clans that John A. Johnson can
carry the Northwest and Tom L.
Johnson swing Ohio into line, the
election can be won.
Opposition to the administration
in Ohio is counted on to add to the
Johnsonian movement in the Buck
eye state.
Taking an account of stock,
there is hardly a Democrat of any
prominence but what is willing to
admit that in view of the present
situation the most available assets
at this time are in Minnesota and
Ohio fof next years battle. ;"

Forfeited Tax Sale Monday.

Commencing Monday morning,
Nov. 11th, and continuing for one
week, a sale of lands, upon which
the taxes have remained unpaid
until the land has become forfeited
to the state, will be held at the Office
of the county auditor.
All land upon which the taxes are
unpaid for 1902, or any year prior
to that year, will be subject to this
sale. There are about 400 tracts
within the county which will be
subject to this sale.
Chapter 43O of the laws covering
this sale allows the auditor some
latitude in fixing the amount for
which this land will be sold, and
those parcels upon which taxes are
delinquent prior to 1902.
County Auditor Wilman states
that it is his intention to clean up
every acre of land and every lot as
far as possible at this sale.
Many inquiries are being made in
relation thereto and during the
week a number of tracts and parcels
of land have been redeemed.
Citizens owning property should
see that their lands are not included
in this sale. One bad feature which
the law does not cover is the publ.
cation of lists describing these lands
This makes it obligatory upon every
citizen to see that his property is
clear.
After the sale the successful bid
ders will be required TO give notice
of expiration of redemption in the
usual course provided for these
notices.

morning from a professional trip to
Kelliher, where he went last even

Snow Storm in New York.

Leaden skies and an ominous east
wind to which New Workers awoke Sun
day dashed any hopes they may have en-
tertained that the backbone of winter,
locally speaking. had been broken.
At noon the flakes fell thick and fast.
A southern wind kicked up formidable
drifts, unpleasant reminders of the great
blizzard of 1888, the anniversary of
which is but two days distant
Toward night however, the wind died
away and early in the evening the snow
fall ceased. In eight hours nearly six
inches fell, bringing the total snow fall of
the winter up to A inches.
This is double the fau of last winter,
and, according to the local weather bu-
reau, the end is not yet The cost of re-
moving the snow from the streets is esti-
mated at $4,000.
1t being Sunday there was no great
hindrance of street traffic. Comparative
y few accidents were reported.
On the North and East rivers the ferry
boats experienced troublous times and

Pulp and Paper Plant Destroyed at
BENNINGTON Falls.

The extensive wood pulp and tissue
paper plant of Fillmore & Slade was
burned Saturday morning, and the ma
chinery, engine, etc, were destroyed.
The mill was located at Bennington Falls,
small settlement, and but little help
could be procured.
The mill was fitted with hose, but the
scarcity of help and water prevented its
being used. The main mill was about
40 feet long, three stories high. All
the machinery was new. The plant had
water power that was considered one
of the best in town.
The firm was employing night and day
shifts of 30 employees, who are now
thrown out of work. The origin of the
fire is unknown. The total loss will be
about $4,000, on which there is not
much insurance. There was about S.
900 worth of manufactured paper stored
in the mill and several hundred cords of
pulp wood in the yard adjoining. All
was burned.

AIexa der Dowie Dead.

John Alexander Dowie died at 7:40
O'Clock Saturday morning.
This remarkable leader, at one time al
most worshiped by thousands of people,
who has held huge audiences and whose
ideas have adherents all over the world,
passed away with only two friends and
his attorneys at his bedside.
His wife and son had deserted him, his
great city which he had built is almost
uninhabited. and the thousands who once
obeyed his smallest command were not at
his home to wait in sorrow for their erst-
while leader to breathe his last.
At one time he was the possessor of
$10,0O0,000, but died in seeming pow
erty.
1t had been Dowies custom to hold re-
llgious services every Sunday afternoon
in the parlor of Shiloh house.
Five weeks ago, these meetings ceased,
and Dowie appeared no longer in public.
The Sunday meetings, however, were still
held by his adherents.
Since that time Dowie had gradually
been failing. Friday afternoon he re-
ceived a few followers, and prayed for
some people. His condition seemed to be
about the same as for the last two or
three weeks.
One of the attendants remained with
him until midnight, and was relieved by
the other attendant.
Shortly before one o'clock Saturday
morning Dowia became delirous and his
talk was the same as at religious meet
ing in the days of his prime. He de-
nounced Zionists with the old-time vigor,
ordered the guards to throw out disturb
ers and acted just as he had on so many
previous occasions. He gradually became
weaker and weaker, and the attendant
telephoned for Judge Barnes, who reached
Shiloh house at a. m. Forty minutes
later Dowie died.
