IT IS SERIOUS.
Some Of the Bemidj People Fail to
Realize the Serious
ness.

The constant aching of a bad
back,
The WEAKNESS, the tired feeling,
The pains and aches of kidney
ills.
Are serious-If neglected.
Dangerous urinary troubles fol-
low.
A Bemidji citizen shows you
how to avoid them.
Clark Roberts, living at 600
America Ave, Bemidji, Mimi,
says: II suffered severely for two
or three years with pain in the
small of my back. The pain
would come on very suddenly and
last for two or three weeks, caus
ing me much misery and discom-
fort while it lasted. The kidney
secretions were dark and un-
natrual in appearance, and there
was much soreness about the kid
ney regions. I went to the Owl
Drug Store and procured box of
Doan's Kidney Pills. After using
them a short time l began feeling
very much better. l have not
suffered from any trouble with my
kidneys since. The kidney secre-
tons have become clear and 1 have
felt better in every way"

WANTED IN NATIVE LAND.
Brooklyn Attorney to Be Deported
After Long Residence There.

New York, May 30-Because of a
chance meeting with man who had
not seen him for years G. P. Wedel,
attorney at law, man of refinement
and culture, will probably be deported
to Denmark. He was detained in
Brooklyn by immigration officials and
taken to Ellis Island 1t is said that
he has offended against the laws Of
his native land and therefore is not
considered a desirable alien.
Wedel had entered the country reg
ularly and was trying under another
name to retrieve the past About a
week ago he was seen, it was said,
near his home by a former Copen-
hagen acquaintance and from the
chance meeting resulted the action Of
the ELLIS Island officials.
The board Of special inquiry decided
that Wedel must be deported, and
there is said to be small chance that
Washington will reverse the decision.

showed one less than quorum and
the vice president announced that
quorum was present In spite of the
vote.
"Does the presiding officer intend
to establish a precedent of counting
a quorum?" inquired Mr.. La Toilette,
that that action might
come back ito plague the senate"
Vice President Fairbanks, in the
chair, read from decision by Allen
g. Thurman, June 10, 1879, when he
announced that there was a quorum
pres ent, although not shown by the
vote.
During the colloquy Mr.. Aldrich was
on his feet approving the ruling and
large number of senators were pres
ent on the Republican side.
When Mr.. Culbersen concluded his
statement regarding the expenditures
during the Roosevelt administration
and before Mr.. La Toilette took the
floor there was demand that the
question of adopting the report be put
to the senate.
The Wisconsin senator, after secur-
ing recognition, walked deliberately
from the rear of the chamber where
he was standing to his seat.
MIR. kean Of New Jersey called for
a vote.
rs the senator from New Jersey in
hurry?" inquired Mr.. La Toilette,
and then adding that having the floor
he presumed he had a right to call
for quorum, he forthwith demanded
that the roll be called.
After fifty-seven senators had re-
sponded to the roll call Mr.. La Fol
lette, shortly before 1 o'clock, pro-
ceeded with his remarks on the cur
rency bills reported by the conferees,
saying that he would conserve his
strength as much as possible as he
was just recovering from a protracted
illness.
More Roll Calls Demanded.
Before he had spoken half an hour
Mr.. La Toilette had made two de-
mands for roll call. Senator Stone,
upon whom the Wisconsin senator de-
pended as his only assistant in the
hlfbuster, was present in the cham
Der for only few minutes during the
early part of the session and it was
understood that he was absent pre-
pairing a speech against the bill.
livery time the attention of Senator
Aldrich was diverted for moment
the Wisconsin senator waited patient
ly or complained and insisted that the
Rhode Island senator should keep his
eyes fixed on him.
Late in the afternoon an effort was
made by Mr.. Foraker to compel Mr..
La Toilette to take his seat. Mr.. For
Rker declared that Mr.. La Toilette
had violated the rules of the senate
by charging Mr.. Aldrich with not hav-
ing answered questions fairly. After
some skirmishing the senate voted to
permit Mr.. La Toilette to proceed Gin

BEARS SCORE VICTORY.
Force Down Prices of May Wheat,
Corn and Oats.

Force Down Prices of May Wheat,
Corn and Oats.
Chicago, May 3O.-The bears in the
grain pits on the board of trade
scored a decisive victory in the early
trading and forced down prices on
the May deliveries of wheat, corn and
oats from 21A to cents per bushel.
The greatest loss was recorded in
May corn, the bull campaign in which
has been led by James A. Patten. The
price Of that grain broke from 821b,
the opening quotation, to TIN within
the first hour of trading. May oats
was close second and dropped from
56% to b11a. Wheat declined from
$1.09h to SLOT in the same space of
time.
While definite figures were lacking
1t was thought that James A. Patten
and his followers have cleaned up at
least 100000 through their manip-
ulation of May corn. Mr. Patten him
self declared at the conclusion of
trading that he had no idea how much
money he had made.

REJECTED By COMMISSION
Philippine Assembly Bill Creating =;
Jury System.


Manila, May 30.-The Philippine
commission has rejected the assembly
bill creating a jury system. The
measure provides for provincial
boards to appoint twenty-five jurors
In each province to serve on all jury
cases. The commission held that the
plan was not an ideal one and would
invariably lead to abuses. It was be-
lieved that appointment of jurors
would become factor in politics.
The commission has passed the pub
lie works bill appropriating 100000
pesos. One-half of this sum goes for
the construction of roads under the
plan to create and maintain per-
manent system of highways through
out the islands. Half million will
be expended in starting system of
irrigation works, while with the bal
ance provision is made to start the
construction of capitol building at
Manila, improve the harbors at Iloilo
and build customshouse at Cebu.

Miraculous.

Miraculous.
Connellsville, Pa, May 30.-Twenty
passengers were injured, three OF
them probably fatally, when the oh.
servation parlor car on the Royal Blue
flyer on the Baltimore and Ohio rail
road, bound from Chicago to New
York, left the rails two miles from
Garrett, Pa, east of here, and plunged
down an embankment. That none
was killed is considered miraculous.
Several of the injured were placed
aboard of a special train and hurried
to Cumberland, Md, where hospital
accommodations had been prepared by
the railroad. It was said their in.
juries consisted mainly of cuts and
bruises. The other passengers pro-
ceeded on the train.
When the train reached point two
miles east Of Garrett, and while round
ing sharp curve, the observation car
swung from the track. The train
was running on schedule time and
like the crack of a whip the coupling
snapped and the observation car was
thrown with much force down an en-
bankment. The passengers were scat
tered peH NELL. A number who were
seated on the platform under wide
spreading awning were pitched far
into the air, alighting clear of the
wrecked car, but among stones and
cinders, causing painful injuries to all
Others were thrown in heap to the
floor and showered with broken glass.

CHILDREN IN PANIC.
Rumors of Plot to Dynamite Chicago
School.

Chicago, May 30.-Rumors that an
Italian secret society had formed a
plot to dynamite the Dante school at
Ewing and Desplaines streets caused
a panic among the 1,700 pupils of the
school. About 600 of the children be-
came panic stricken and fled from the
building. Many of them were knocked
down and slightly bruised, but none
of them was seriously injured.
For several days there have been
groundless rumors that the school
might be blown up with dynamite.
Somebody fired a number of shots in
an alley adjoining the school and In.
stantly hundreds of the children left
their seats and ran for the doorways.

APPLY THE PATERNAL SLIPPER.
Contributed

Once more we are reminded of
the need of protection against the
thoughtless and careless acts of
some of our young people. and
possibly some older ones, who are
in the habit of attending our free
public gatherings, seemingly for
the purpose of creating disturb
ances.
Last Friday night the annual
commencement of our city high
school was held in the city hall.
The exercises were impressive and
of high order. We feel, however,
like making an apology, when tt
becomes necessary to interrupt a
prominent speaker in the middle
of one of the finest if not the finest
dlscourses that was ever delivered
in this city, to ask some of our
boys and girls to stop speaking
out loud and give him a hearing.
This was further emphasized
during the Memorial services at
the skating rink, Saturday after
noon, when again a prominent
speaker could not get respectable
hearing on account of thoughtless
people moving about the hall and
preferring to listen to private con-
versations. We do not believe
that all of these were willfully
done but some of them were, and
these are the ones that are crit.
cised. In some cases they were
personally spoken to and in place
of needing the request became
more careless.
We would suggest that here
after, when we have any public
meetings, such as commence
ments and Memorial exercises,
that if the regular police cannot
have man there all the time, two
special police be appointed for the
occasion with full power to arrest.
With reference to the above,
would it not be we'll to vigorously
apply the generous slipper of our

Washington, May 3O.-It was made

Before IL o'clock Mr. La Toilette
had made two demands for quorum
and when upon the third demand the

him because Senator Culberson had

that the presiding officer should have

Of declination by the senator occu-

that the filibuster, small though it be
