BERNARD STILL AT THE TROUGH

OEONNNV otiG6 ~ s"VSN's
In another column is printed a
telegram from Washington stating
that Senator Clapp has recommended
A. c.. Bernard of Cass Lake as a
member of the commission which
will estimate the amount of timber
on the Minnesota forest reserve and
ten sections about Cass Lake, and
also act as a generalissmo for the
commission. as it were.
If the appointment is a purely
political one, no better or more
deserving man could be chosen than
Captain Bernard; but if that CON-
mission intends to do the work for
which it has evidently been created

other field duties) we can easily see
where "A. G." will be shy, by several
lengths.
Bernard has always been staunch
republican, and has done service for
that party which entities him to the
very best which the republicans can
hand to him; in fact, Cass Lake
people have been looking for a soft
snap" for long time with which to
reward "A. G." for his services for
that town.
He is accredited with having
secured the land Office for Cass
Lake, and it was supposed he
would be appointed either register
or receiver, but he was turned
down. Bernard did receive an
appointment as clerk for the Chip
pewa estimating corps, but was
let out, for some unaccountable
reason. His shingle has been ou

However, report has it that thu

on Their Merits.
Chicago, June 1.-THE decision Of
the Republican national committee in
the consolidated case of the Eleventh
and Twelfth Missouri districts was in
favor OF the Taft delegates and they
were ordered seated. Committeeman
Scott Of West Virginia offered a mo-
ton providing that both delegations
from each district should be seated,
with half a vote each. This was de.
feated on standing vote, 81 to IL.
Committeeman Aiken of Missouri
then offered a motion seating both
Taft delegations and this was carried
without a division.
After the decision in these cases
had been declared Chairman New, in
discussing the work of the committee
with number of newspaper men,
said:
II know it has been charged that the
Taft people on the committee have
been riding roughshod over every
thing. want to say, however, that
all the contests that have been set
tied by the national committee have
been strictly on their merits and on
the evidence presented. There has
been no roughtiding over anybody"
After the Missouri contests had
been settled North Carolina was
called. In this state there were con.
tests over the delegates-at.large and
from the First to Sixth districts, In.
elusive. and in the Eighth district.
The decision Of the committee In
the contest for the delegates-at-large
from North Carolina was In favor of

North Carolina was decided in favor
Of the Taft delegates. A motion was
made and lost to send both delega,
lions with a half vote each. The con.
test in the Second and Third North

in favor Of TAFT.
Manager Frank H. Hitchcock Of the
TAR forces has made an important
deolaration in relation to the vice
presidential situation. Mr.. Hitchcock
said:

Of 3 vice president Secretary Taft and
his manager have made no combina.

We have achieved that we will be
highly satisfied.
1.-THE question of the selection of a
vice presidential candidate is for the

there Is no thought In the Taft man

WHERE MR.. PLuNkETT SCORED,
Female Readers Will Say He Took
Advantage Of Trusting Wife.

There had been long-standing diff
ference of opinion in the Plunkett
family concerning the dining table.
Mrs. Plunkett maintained that its
legs were too short and ought to be
heightened at least half an inch.
1T doesn't fit our chairs, Jared, and
you know It," she continued. when
we sit down to this table we're too
high above it. You could have pieces
of wood glued on the ends of the legs.
That would be easier than to saw of
the ends of all the chair legs"
Il don't agree with your proposition
at all, Cordelia," said Mr.. Plunkett. 81
think the table is just right. But I'm
willing to compromise the matter.
You have been wanting a hardwood
floor in this dining room for a long
time, haven't you?"
Yes" =
We'll, we can have that new kind
of hardwood flooring that is laid on
top of the old floor. That will raise
the entire surface three-eighths of an
inch or more, and that will raise the
table, of course, just so much. How
will that do?"
This seemed to be fair proposition,
and without a moments hesitation
Mrs. Plunkett accepted it as a salts
factory compromise. Com
panion.

Bishop Brent's Christianity.

In a somewhat drab hour, if not ac
tually dark one, the example of Prot
estant Episcopal Bishop Brent Of the
Philippines is inspiring. He declines
the comfortable bishopric in Washing
ton, left vacant by DR.. Satterlee, be-
cause God has bid him stay where he
is. There is much toll there, and
much danger, too. The climate is de-
bilitating and the social routine is not
particularly enlivening. There is
nothing in his far eastern assignment
for the bishop but hard and frequent
ly discouraging work in the service Of
the church The Washington diocese,
on the other hand is a shining goal
for aspiring churchmen. Secretary
Taft is right when he says that Bish-
op Brent is martyr, and there Is not
a hint of vainglory in his martyrdom.
Not word of adverse criticism from
any quarter would have followed his
acceptance of the Washington appoint.
ment, says the New York Times. He
had everything to gain by accepting
it, and everything, but the chance of
heroic service for Christianity, to lose
in declining 1t. He is the one man in
ten thousand, and not only his church,
but the whole country will be proud of
him

IL spot, close to the little station OF
Rochelle park, 16 miles northwest OF
Jersey City, on the New York, Susque
hanna &c Western railroad, a train
crew at 2 o'clock Sunday morning
found the mangled body of richly
dressed middle-aged woman.
Apparently she had been killed by
an earlier train. The only strange fea,
ture of the incident appearing then
was that in the woman's clenched
fist was 5000 in German bank notes.
Seven hours later, when the body
had been taken 10 the morSue at
Ridgewood, a handsome girl of 20, led
by a resident of the countryside, at
whose doorstep she had tainted, stag
gered into the place, bleeding from
three bullet wounds.
She identified the woman as her
mother and told the authorities of a
desperate attack, in which the elder
woman had been murdered and she
herself wounded, and started them TO
work on one of the strangest myste
ries of recent years.
A closer examination of the body
showed a bullet wound through the
mothers heart, which hitherto had
been concealed by its mangled condi
tion.
The daughter added the information
that the $500 in German money was
only the remainder Of $2,OO0-the bal
ance in American notes-which the
DIother had been carrying.
The victim, it was learned then, was
Mrs. Ottillie Eberhard, a wealthy resi-
dent of Vienna, who had been in this
country only since last Thursday. The
girl was Miss Ottillie Eberhard. who
had accompanied her mother from
Austria They had been taken to
the desolate spot where the mothers
body was found by August Ebarhard,
the girls 25-year-old cousin, whom
she had crossed the seas to wed.
Just what took place there the girl
did not know.
At the height of a thunder and
lightning storm, when they were walk
ing along the tracks, the mother sank,
crying: I've been struck by light
ming" Then there was pistol firing
vaguely the girl pictured three men as
the assailants-and she felt the hot
sting of four grazing bullets.
She fled at the command Of her
cousin, August. She did not sec him
fire any of the shots, though she knew
he had loaded revolver in his pocket
He ran away from her toward the
place whence the spurts of flame had
appeared. That was the last seen Of
August.
Search was Immediately made for
the missing cousin when the police
learned of his connection with the
case. But he was not found either in
New Jersey or in this city, where for
years he had lived.
