requested by one Of the proprietors
to let them fill the order at the same
prices. This was done, and the deal
was mutually profitable. The local
store made more than ordinary pro.
fits on some items, such as bacon, but
lost on few items of canned goods
because they don't handle such poor
grades as the mail order houses brag
about, and the settler saved paying
freight and his patience as he did
not need to wait month for the
goods. Moral: When you make up
an order to Chicago, show it to your
local dealer and see if it will paw to
trade away from home.-Big Falls

1t might not be a bad plan for
those parties living in this vicinity
to try the local merchants on cata-
logue house prices. Two to one,
quality considered, the purchaser will
get better bargains at home.

A DISTRIBUTING POINT
Existing Railroad Rates Will Be Cut.
Bemidji Should Follow Example
OF Wadena.

St. Paul, MIMI, Aug. 23.-Busi-
ness men of Wadena will rejoice over
an order about to be issued by the
state railroad and warehouse com.
mission. making Wadena a point
where distributing rates shall apply.
Some time ago Wadena made
application to be made distribut-
ing point. The railroad commission
had a hearing at Wadena on the
subject, and has had the matter
under consideration until today.
The new order of things Will 20 into
effect Oct. 1. It will mean a cut
of about S per cent on the existing

cities that already enjoy special rate
facilities. 49,, .-

Yesterday I crossed the lake and
had a real picnic lunch on the
Mississippi river, which is only a
small stream where it drops out
from Bemidji lake. 1t is very beauti-
full in there. The river is shallow,
with a rocky bed (just like at the
farm house I went to!) and the cur
rent is very swift. The banks are
densely wooded. I am told that
the trip down the river to Cass Lake
is most delightful. A party of
friends went down two weeks ago in
three small launches. The rapids
are very numerous and getting
through them is quite exciting, but
not dangerous, as the water is so
shallow all the way.

c. l. Decker, On Hay Fever

Several people who were sufferers
of hay fever have been cured of the
malady by coming to Bemidji, which
leads c. L. Decker to soliloquize
thusly as to what constitutes hay
fever:
Hay fever is one of the many
other things that happen in summer
to make us enjoy the winter.
Hay fever is kind of cold in the
head, morning-after, indigestion,
headache, stiff neck, neuralgia and
many other things to numerous to
mention. -
1T is said to be caused by the
drifting pollen from the golden-rod.
This is why in the room of hay
feverite you may see a little wall
card bearing some ones beautiful
verses about the golden-rod. The
surface of the card is covered with
dents, indicating where the patient
has hurled his shoe at the sublime
thoughts of the poet.
Hay fever is indicated by a red
nose, red eyes and a general red
headedness of the temper, with a
Discrimination to smile and a con-
tinuing desire to swat some one.
Any doctor can cure hay fever
until he gets it himself.
The best thing to do for hay
fever is to go away from home;
otherwise the family and friends
suffer to much"

other strenuous laborers working or
coming in all the time.
l counted seven saloons on one
block-and was reminded by this of
of a prohibition town I visited in
Maine some years ago. There l
counted fourteen drug stores in two
blocks! And only one of them
was told, was bona fide drug store.
A young man visiting some rela-
tons in that same prohibition town
upon retiring the first night was
called into his hosts den and asked
if he would have drop of whiskey-
but don't say anything about it to
my wife or son, because they don't
know have it in the housed"
Upon reaching the next floor, the
wife called to him-"Hist! hist
Wouldn't you like a 'night-cap' before
retiring-but for goodness sake
don't mention it to my husband or
SON., you see they don't know have
it in the house!'
At the third floor he was greeted
by the son, who invited him to have
nip before going to roost! But
don't breathe it to mother or father,
who don't know I have any in the
house."
The wide-open policy of Bemidji
although not commendable, is GER
tainly preferable to the Maine policy,
which turned a family into hypo-
critics.

''HooIigan in New York. y,

The leading female role in ''Hooli.
gan in New York" is a blind girl
who earns a living selling flowers in
the streets of the great city. A
supposed friend of her fathers has
possession of property that rightfully
belongs to her, and fearing that she
may eventually secure it he plots to
murder her and thus make himself
secure. She is rescued by Hooligan
and the william is finely brought to
justice. The character is a SYM
pathic one, and Miss Nellie LaFleur
who will be seen in it at the City
Opera house next Monday evening,
is said to be the ideal. 1t is a
peculiar fact that during the six
years Miss LaFleur has been in the
theatrical profession she has played
no less than six blind girl parts, in

COURT IMPOSES FINE
Omaha Railroad Assessed $4,000
for Granting Rebates.
MAXIMUM ON ONE COUNT

Judge Morris Holds That Each Car.
load Shipped Could Not Be consid.
cred a Separate offense and Rem.
dered Judgment Accordingly.
Minneapolis, Aug. PA fine OF
100000 was imposed on the Chicago,
st. Paul, Minneapolis and Omaha Rail-
way company and it's former general
freight agent and present freight traf-
nc manager, Hiram M. Pearce, was
ordered to pay a $4,000 fine by Judge
Page Morris in the United States dis
trict court in this city.
The Omaha road, conjointly with it's
former general freight agent, was con.
victed in the same court April II of
granting rebates to the Spencer Grain
company Of Minneapolis on an indict-
ment containing fifty counts.
In imposing sentence Judge Morris
explained that while it was clear to
him that he would be within his right
to impose separate fine for each
offense proven, he could not bring
himself to believe that each carload
of grain on which a rebate was al.
lowed constituted separate offense.
Each shipment. the court reasoned,
whether made up Of one or many car
loads, with the subsequent payment Of
the rebate, could be treated as a sep
arate offense. - r. -.-.
It was true, the court continued,
the shipping tariffs referred to carload
shipments and rebates were made on
q carload basis. but shipping charges
and rebates were paid on the number
Of bushels handled and it would be
unjust to assume there were as many
o6enses as bushels.

DIVISION WILL END PROSPERITY
Prominent Citizens of Graham County Go to Capital to Protest Against the Proposed Division of the County.

Ben NJ. Clark, county treasurer; George A. Olney, chairman of the board of supervisors; A. A. Anderson, sheriff, and Frank Dysart, wealthy cattleman, all of Graham county, are in Phoenix, their purpose being to op- pose the bill soon to be introduced in the legislature dividing Graham county In conversation with reporter, MT. Clark, as spokesman, said:
 "Graham now has taxable property valued at $6,500,000 and the county is beginning an era of prosperity. The | tax levy is being reduced annually every obligation of the county is being | met, and division of the county at | this time means the disturbing of every element that is tending to make the county prosperous.
 "The dividing line, as demanded by Henry Hill and his following, who de sire to have the county seat at Clifton would place all the mines and large portion of the railroads in one county and the agricultural portion of Graham county in the other. Both counties would be impoverished by the division, and no Cne would be benefited except few disappointed politicians and men having icre property to sell to the new county for courthouse site, etc. Mir. Clark s opinions are indorsed by his assoc ates, Sheriff Anderson, Super visor Olney and Cattleman Dysart. These men are in line to oppose the | division and large majority of the people of Graham county, they assert are opposed to it. They expect the bill to eome up at an early date, and are here so defeat it, if possible. Graham and Cochise are twin eoun- ties; botll were born at the same hour, and both were carved from the loins of old Pima. The legislature of 1881 brought them both into existence. George hI. Stevens, "Lillie Steve,' as he was familiarly called, was the father of Grahanl county, while the late B. A. Fiekas of Maricopa county, then a resident of Tombstone, led the hosts in | the interest of Cochise.
 Many fi,Tee struggles have been in dulged in, in fruitless efforts to divide Cochise and Graham counties, more particularly Cochise. The people of Wilcox made several attempts to divide Coehise, but now, when Bisbee and Douglas have grown to such large pro portions, Wilcox could easily secure county division by asking, but they are careful not to a'k.
 The contest will soon be on and it looks like it would be a fierce one.
