fish were political travelling compan-
ions, and many stories were told of
their joint journeying.
The two hardy Democratic campaign
ers were doing southern California one
election time and got into the country
at the back door of Los Angeles. One
night they reached farmhouse where
they had expected to find lodgings.
The farmer had nothing but two arm
chairs. Foote and English pleaded for
beds-cots, trundle beds, anything that
looked like bed. Nothing doing.
The campaigners, like Napoleon or
Grant or like Washington at Valley
Forge, slept in their chairs. 5
When the first advance agents Of
dawn scudded out Of the west, the poll
ticians laboriously got out of their
chairs and went out for fresh air. They
met the old farmer milking the COW
with the crumpled horn.

blandly and without contrition, you
could have had bed, after all? I was
expecting two Democratic orators here
last night and saved the beds for them,

IT'S YOUR KIDNEYS.
Don't Mistake the Cause Of Your
Troubles. A Bemidji Citizen
Shows How to Cure Them.

Many people never suspect their
kidneys. If suffering from lame,
weak or aching back they think
that it is only muscular weakness;
when urinary trouble sets IN they
think it will soon correct itself.
And so it is with all the other
symptoms of kidney disorders.
That is just where the danger lies.
You must cure these troubles or
they may lead to diabetes or
Brlght's disease. The best remedy
to use is Doan's Kidney Pills. 1t
cures all ills which are caused by
weak or diseased kidneys. Be
midi people testify to permanent
cures.

No Wonder Aa Eled.

A tall, solemn looking young man
bntered the restaurant with a mild,
apologetic air and seated himself at a
vacant table near the middle of the
room. It was evident that he dreaded
to intrude. He wanted to get as far
away from other people as possible
He even blushed painfully when he
gave his order, and the most casual
observer could have told that he was
bashful. Just as his dinner was
brought to him buxOm looking wO-
man with seven small children entered
the place. The head waiter swept the
field with his eye, bounced down upon
the table where the young man had
sought solitude, motioned to the moth
er, who clucked to the chickens, and
moment later they were all around
that one table.
That young mans face was a serial
story.
Other people entered the restaurant,
glanced at the group, smiled signifi
cantly and seated themselves.
'He doesn't look it, does he?" queried
pleasant faced old lady In an audible
whisper.
''She looks at least ten years older
than he," murmured girl at the next
table.
He flew to the hatrack, tossed half
crown to the waiter and tried to go
through the door without opening it

Tho Champion Absentininded Man.

Tho Champion Absentninded Man.
A very absentminded professional
man, with offices In a Chestnut street
building, came downtown the other
day and discovered that he had left his
keys at home. The superintendent Of
the building let the absentminded man
into his office, but he was still as bad
off as ever. He could not get into his
desk or at his safe. He pondered lit
tie while over his dilemma; then he
decided to return home for the keys.
'Why not send a messenger boy after
the keys?' was the thought that struck
him, but that was Immediately put out
Of the question by another thought to
the effect that the boy would not be
able to get In the house in case the
absentminded mans wife had left
home. 'That's right; must go my
SELF" decided the troubled man, and
home he went, arriving at the very
door of his house before it dawned
upon him that he without his keys was
as bad off as messenger boy, and the
poor mans wife had gone out all right.
"Oh, hang it anyway" said the absent
minded man, II ought to have tele-
phoned her to wait for me! Why
didn't do that? Well, will go right
back to the Office and phone" And he
did. He phoned and phoned for some
time before he could understand why
his wife did not answer; then he gave

MANY CANDIDATES FOR SHERIFF.

The race for the republican nomi
nation for sheriff of Beltrami county
promises to be one Of the warmesi
contests ever pulled off in the local
political field.
So far, but two candidates have
made public announcement of their
candidacy for the nomination, they
being A. B. Hazen of this city and
Fred Olson of Blackjack.
Rumor has to do with several
other prospective candidates
enough to insure real warm con.
test" Whether Thomas Bailey will
again be candidate, has not been
stated, and that gentleman keeps his
own counsel concerning the matter.
However, there be those who believe
that Mr.. Bailey will not be candi-
date, but that ]. N. Bailey, who has
served as chief deputy under his
father for several years, will make
the race. Rumor has it that Arne
Solberg, who has acted as deputy
sheriff, is candidate for sheriff.
The very latest rumor concerning
the office of sheriff is that a we'll
known resident of Bemidji who at
present holds a prominent county
office will enter the race, with assur.
ance that he will be given certain
support at the polls that will insure
his election.
Anyway, there is a good fight in
sight, and the various candidates
will undoubtedly get an early start.

SIX STREET CARS IN CRASH
Two People Killed and Forty Injured
at Philadelphia

Philadelphia, May 2. The street
car accident near Chestnut Hill park,
about twelve miles from the center Of
the city, in which two persons were
killed and more than forty were in
jured, was one of the worst trolley
crashes that has occurred here for a
number of years. The dead are Mary
J. Wagner, aged sixty-four years, of
Cornwall, Pa, and Charles Allebach of
this city.
All the injured probably will re-
cover, although several are in seri-
GUS condition. Six cars carrying more
than 200 persons were involved IN the
accident. An open car, heavily load
ed, was returning to the city and
when on the crest Of a steep hill be-
came manageable. The motorman
shut off the power and applied the
brakes. The brake chain parted and
the car ran backward down the hill
at great speed. It crashed into the
car following it and the force of the
collision sent the second car back
into third and other cars at the
bottom of the hill All the trolleys
were badly wrecked and scarcely a
person in them escaped without in
jury, it being necessary to remove
more than forty to hospitals. All the
injured persons resided in this city.
There were numerous cases of frac-
tured limbs, but most of the injured
suffered from decorations.
The crashes of the cars and cries of
the injured reused the quiet suburb
Of Chestnut Hill into instant action
and the residents formed themselves
into rescue bands until the police and
hospital physicians arrived The in
jured, who were scattered all over the
roadway, were removed to the nearby
