CHOOSE WISELY

To the Voters of Marion County,
The result of the first primary election
shows US plainly that we must choose
one of two men for our next sheriff.
One whose life has been spent in our
county. man who leads a life calcu-
fated to better society, man who has
made a success of himself. One who
despises any measure or institution of
questionable character, who is free
and unfettered. who does not or will
Tot have to wink at violations of the
law. One who will execute the laws,
every one of them, coming within his
bounds as sheriff.
The other-a man coming from an
ether county, where for very long
term he has served the people as
sheriff, invests his money in Marion,
in our city, Ocala.
+ Did he invest his money in an insti-
tuition calculated to better our moral
conditions? Has his life with us been
such as would help to make men of
our boys of whom we might be justly
RI oud? l answer no. He invested his
money in a bar room, an institution
whose aim it is to get money at any
cost, even the sacrifice of it's patrons
domestic happiness. An institution to
~hch our sabbath means 1.-THE closing
Of it's front doors.
Is it not fact that the pace he set
caused his financial failure? Is 1T not
fact that after his failure he hired
himself to another to deal out the al
coholic connections that tickle the pail
ate to the detriment of manhood?
Isn't it time for us to teach all such
men that they can't come into our
county and lead lives of this descrip-
ton, and then be elevated to office by
reason of our ballot?
Very respectfully,
3. p. Billingsly.

A curiou. Plant.

"a curious plant" said an eminent
botanist, is the wild tamarind or juba
plant Of the riverside and waste places
Of tropical America, and very strange
are it's effects upon the nonruminant
animals that feed upon its young
shoots, leaves, pods and seeds. It
causes horses to lose the hair from
their names and tails, has a similar ef-
feet upon mules and donkeys and re-
duces pigs to complete nakedness.
Horses are said to recover when fed
exclusively on corn and grass, but the
new hair is Of different color and tex
ture from the old, so that the animal is
never quite the same as it was. One
animal Of which personally knew
after feeding on the plant lost its hoofs
and had to be kept in slings until
they grew and hardened again. Rumi-
nant animals are not thus affected, and
the growth of the plant Is actually en-
couraged In the Bahamas as a fodder
plant for cattle, sheep and goats The
difference i probably due to changes
effected upon it in the chewing of the
cud."

CHEMIST FINDS POISON.
Proof Of How Mrs. Guinness Disposed
of Her Victims.


Laporte, Ind, June 22-The first
positive information on the manner In
which Mrs. Bella Guinness disposed Of
the persons whose bodies were found
in her private cemetery was obtained
when DR.. Walter Haynes Of Rush
Medical college, Chicago, reported in
formally to Coroner Mack that he had
found traces of arsenic and strychnine
in the stomach of Andrew Helgelein
of Aberdeen, S. D. Helgelein's dis
membered body was the first of the
ten found after the fire which caused
the death of Mrs. Guinness and her
three children. A formal report will
be made later.
H. w. Worden, attorney for Ray
Lamphere, indicted for the murder of
Mrs. Guinness, her three children and
Andrew Helgelein, in formal state
ment scored the county authorities for
their actions and also made a public
appeal for subscriptions for a fund to
be used as a reward for the apprehen-
sion of Mrs. Guinness.
One thing that prompted Mr.. Wor-
den to take the action, he said, was
the receipt of information from a Mis-.
souri, man, whose name and address
he refuses to give, who declares that
if the reward holds good he will pro-
duce Mrs. Guinness at any time at
some place seventy miles from where
he lives. Mr.. Worden declines to
place this information in the hands of
the authorities.

xove and Death.

Very closely love and death dwell to-
gether-high up in the world of nature
and low down! The following well
authenticated story comes from North
amptonshire: A sparrow hawk was
killed when feeding her young. Four
days later when the nest was exam
ined it was found that the little male
bird, working alone for the family,
had brought home forty-eight birds
viz, six larks, nine swallows, one bull
finch, seven robins, six sparroWs, six
hedge sparrows, nine blue tits, three
chaftinches and one wren.
What spirit Of dutifulness along
with ferocity is here exhibited on the
part Of the small widower hawk, who
evidently thought that the best way of
respecting the memory of his departed
consort was to feed her children well!
And in doing this how absolutely OBJ
liviOus nature had rendered him Of
the feelings Of the poor larks, swal-
lows, bullfnches and robins, whose
ofspring-or the parents themselves
his relentless parental affection thus
annexed! The direst cruelty animated
by the tenderest love! The most saw
age egotism prompted by an entire un-
selfshness! Such are some of the
problems which nature furnishes, but
will not solve.-London Telegraph

SleepWalktna.

Women and children are more apt to
suffer from somnambulism than men,
possibly because their brain Is more
delicately poised and therefore more
easily influenced by dreams. A SOM
nambulist nearly always walks with
his eyes wide open, the pupils being
much dilated. He is dreamer able to
act his dreams, and in this state the
timid become fearless, the weak strong
and the stupid brilliant. Their som.
nambulistic condition presents many
curious anomalies. The somnambulist's
sense Of hearing is not often suspend.
ed, for, generally speaking, he will an.
swer questions even If whispered, but
often the same ear is deaf to loud
noises. The sense Of smell is frequent.
~ altered. Birthstone and phosphorus
are said to be pleasant scents to the
somnambulist, and many cannot tell
wine from water, as the sense of taste
becomes perverted or entirely suspend.
ed. Some people walk periodically in
their sleep, while others do it spasmod.
ically. One German doctor goes to the
extreme of asserting that somnam.
bulists are attracted by the moon,. and
thus they walk on roofs of houses and
at great heights because they derive
peculiar pleasure from contemplating
the moon.

A Tiny Death Dealer.

A most agonizing death is caused by
an insect half the size Of pea-a
small black spider. It lives in Peru,
in South America, but a few speci-
mems have reached Europe in ship
loads of timber. Not long ago a dock
laborer was unlucky enough to come
upon one in the Victoria docks while
unloading bark. The tiny death deal
er dropped upon the back Of his hand
and dug its fangs into his flesh. The
bite itself was nothing, but as soon as
the poison began to work the man
tainted with pain. Soon afterward he
came to and lived three days before
the end came. This spiders venom
scorches up the blood vessels and
spreads through all the tissues, caus,
ing the most fearful agony humar
being can have to bear. The worst OF
1t Is that the victim lives at least two
days, enduring unthinkable anguish
the whole time. This spider is luckily
not common. It Is known as the
"specky," and when a man who knows
what the bite means is bitten he gen
orally blows out his brains.-London
Chronicle.

Extreme Obedience.

The Youngs had unexpectedly drop.
ped in on the Baileys just as dinner
was about to be served. The hostess,
considerably disturbed, called her little
daughter Helen aside and explained
that there would not be enough oysters
to go around and added, Nov, you
and will just have some of the broth,
and please do not make any fuss about
1t at the table,
Little Helen promised to remember
and say nothing. But when the oys-
ters were served Helen discovered a
small oyster in her plate which had ac-
cidentally been ladled up with the
broth. This puzzled the little girl, as
she could not recall any instructions
covering this contingency. After
studying a few moments she dipped
the oyster up with her spoon and, hold,
ing it up as high as she could, piped
out, Mamma, mamma, shouldn't Mrs.
Young have this oyster too ?n-Chris.

Washington, June 22.-Sweeping re-
ductions in lumber rates west OF the
Missouri river and approximately 3
per cent reduction in the advanced
rates in the East. as we'll as other
changes in the tariff, are ordered un-
der decisions announced by the inter-
state commerce commission. The rul-
lngs are made in a group of important
cases involving the rates on lumber,
shingles and other forest products
from points in the Willamette valley
to San Francisco and from Washing
ton, Oregon, Idaho, Montana and Brit
ish Columbia to Eastern and Southern
markets.
In the case of the Oregon and Wash

citation against the Union Pacific and
other roads, Pacific Coast Lumber
Manufacturers association and others
against the Northern Pacific and 9TH
ers and the Southwest washington
Lumber Manufacturers association
against the Northern Pacific, involving
q general advance in lumber rates, In
many cases 20 and Is per cent, from
North Pacific coast territory to points
east thereof, which became effective
November last, the commission makes
q geographic decision in it's action.
On the ground of unreasonableness
it orders restoration of the previous
rates west of a line drawn from Penn

Council Bluffs, Kansas City and Sioux
City to Port Arthur, Tex, along the
Kansas City Southern railway, and in
cluding all points east OF that line

And Everybody Lauuhed.D

The following story was told by El-
len Thorneycroft Fowler in the London
p. T. o.: AT dinner party one even
Ing after my marriage the conversa-
tion, which was general, took literary
turn, and gentleman sitting next to
me, who did not know the identity of
Mrs. Felkin with Ellen Thorneycroft
Fowler, began to descant on the way
young authors spoil themselves with
tricks. To emphasize his point he said,
What can be more horrible than Miss
Fowler's trick Of saying Everybody
laughed?'' There was dead pause.
He evidently expected me to make re-
mark, for when I did not speak he
turned and said: oh, don't you know
Miss Fowler's books? Haven't you
read any Of them? I wrote them,' /
replied, and then, indeed, everybody
laughed"

THINK BEMIDJi ALL RIGHT.

That the Elks of this city and the
citizens of Bemidji properly cared
for visitors during the Elks' conven-
ton is amply attested by the follow
ing:
Crookston Times: A number of
the members of the Crookston
Lodge of Elks who have been in at
tendance at the Bemidji convention
returned to the city last evening and
more came in on the morning train.
They report a great time and the
greatest attention being showered
upon them from the different dele
cations from all sections of the state.
The convention was big success
aud the Crookston Lodge and the
Crookston band did much to make
it so. The Crookston men were in
evidence all the time and they kept
the ball rolling with great regularity.
The larger number of local delegates
will return this evening while a few
will remain over Sunday taking in
the delights of the lake, and will
make an effort to secure sufficient
fish to feast all their Crookston
friends. The returning delegates
cannot speak too highly of the hos
pitality of the Bemidii Elks and the
citizens in general; they did every
thing to make the convention most
pleasant and enjoyable.
Walker Pilot: It's hello
Bill" in Bemidji today. Reports
waited down this way through the
purple atmosphere of good fellow
ship, state that the boys are having
the time of their lives in Old Be-
midg, and that the little city is
taking care of it's visitors in most
commendable manner. A goodly
portion of the Walker herd went up
last evening and this afternoons
train will convey those who were
unable to get away at this time.
The Bemidji Pioneer which is
printed with purple ink this week is
covering the convention in great
shape, by spreading the gospel of
good humor along with the days
doings, to the visitors every after
noon. Congratulations Bemidji; you
are delivering the goods, sure
enough.
Crookston Journal: The returning
herd from the browse atthe state meet
ing of the Benevolent and Protective
Order of Elks in session at Bemidj il
believe that Bemidji is child worthy
of it's parent and has established a
precedent in the entertainment of
Elkdom.
The ladies reception was one of
the exCellently conducted social
events the Crookston Bills had
witnessed for some time and the
visitors are all highly pleased with
the honor and welcome accorded
them on all sides by the live Elks of
the Bemidjl lodge and the ladies of
Bemidji generally.
Amusements surround the visitors
on all sides and the Bemidji herd
treat all Elks like brothers, seeing in
the eye of stranger Elk suffi-
cheney to entitle him to the gate key
of the city.
