LORD SHOLTO DOUGLAS
 FATALLY SHOOTS MAN
Held In a Manitoba Jail on the Ugly
 Charge of Attempted Murder.

Older residents of Phoenix will re- member Lord ShOlto Douglas. a son of the Marquis of Queensberry. who had rather sensational career in Los An geles, then came to Phoenix where he tarried for while under the "business management" of one John Coker. an English artist and soldier of fortune, who later whipped the BOers in South Africa, or got whipped by them, just which ss not recalled.
 Lord Douglas married an actress in Los Angeles and later in Arizona he wrote stories, or marketed under his name some that somebody else wrote made trips through the hills and all that sort of thing. He has now bobbed into print again, this time in the frozen north as a dispatch to the New York Journal says, herewith reproduced:
 Winnipeg. Man, Nov. 10.-A dispatch from Cranbrook British Columbia says that Lord ShOlto Douglas, young CT son of the eighth arGuis of Queens berry, is under arrest at CrestOn charged with attempted murder. Lord Sholto owns a fruit ranch near there and, upon returning unexpectedly. found a man who refused to go when told. Sholto shot him in the head and neck and the victim is not expected to live
 George Rowland, ex-officer of the British army, is the name of the victim. and he is. in a very precarious cOndi- tion. ShOlto s held in jail at Nelson and bail is refused

Poor Tools And
 A Good Worker
That Is What Makes Indigestion, Dyspepsia, Sour Taste, Foul
 Breath and Catarrh.

The stomach is a good strong vital organ, which is constantly protecting and feeding every other organ of the body.
 It is the most abused, neglected and scorned member of man also. Most men abuse their stomach with under-cooked food, high living. alco- hol, tobacco. pastries and scores of other unhealthy practices.
 When the stomach at last sickens of all this abuse and cannot do it's full duty, most men are not warned but keep up their assaults on the stomach until at last it rebels and begins to strike back and cry for help. Man by his own abuse has taken away from the stomach the tools to work with.
 These tools are the gastric juices which go to make up the digestive agents. From to 35 lbs. of gastric juice are turned into the stomach every day.
 When poor, poisonous food con- sumes this juice, dilutes it, robs it of it's strength and throws it, a fer mented mass from the system, of NphA Nitlt lo JuSl llldl IlutU or the gastric fluid which cannot be readily supplied by the blood.
 When food comes into a stomach filled with depleted fluids lacking of power to do their part, the good strong stomach is using poor tools and, of course, cannot succeed in it's work.
 A condition which often prevails is that which takes place when the gastric juice contains too much al kali. If the juice were wholly aka line it would not only devour and digest the fluid but would eat and digest the stomach itself. Such gas tric fluid does the digestion no good and attacks the walls of the stomach making them raw and sore and set ting up inflammation and irritation.
 Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets will strengthen stomach filled with poor gastric juice. They will remove any abnormal alkaline condition, allay ir- ritation. sweeten the breath, remove catarrhal conditions and digest food no matter how the stomach has act ed before.
 These little tablets contain an in gredient, one grain of which will di- gest perfectly 5000 grains of food. They will digest an entire meal placed ill a jar without the aid of any other force except themselves. They have demonstrated this time af- ter time.
 Every druggist carries them in stock; price soc, and 10000 physi- clans use them in their practice. Send us your name and address and we will mail you at once a trial package free Address, F. A. Stuart Co.,, 15O Stuart Bldg, Marshall, Mich.

 GOT WHAT WAS COMING TO HlM-Yesterday evening a gentleman residing on North Second street visited the Peoples theater with his wife. After the performance and on coming out of the theater. the gentleman was accosted by a friend, and while en- gagged in conversation his wife re- marked that she would go to the drug store at the corner of Washington and First streets and make a purchase. On her way to the drugstore three boisterous young men planted them selves in her path and one of them. stepping directly in front of her, said: Hello, kid Idol Where are you going2" It so happened that the husband was only about twenty paces behind and when he saw the insult, he got very busy Two good slams, one on the right jaw and an undercut to the chin, resulted, and the beautiful little nine teen-year- wOuld-be sport was down in the gutter. On regaining his feet he started on mad race for some dark and lonesome spot. where he is probably thinking it over, even now. Such conduct on the street by young smart Alecks" is detrimental to the good of the city, and an example should be made of a few of these sporty would bees. who forget the re- spect a lady is entitled to or who are so thick brained and battle headed that they cannot tell a lady when they see one.

A Secret
 For Women

Madame Moneaux, deceased beauty specialist of New York, long possessed the greatest of all secrets pertaining to femi- nine charm. And what is this great secret, so much desired by women-the secret that has made vast fortune for the madam's heirs, and that brought her all the famous actresses and society leaders for patrons?
 It is a simple, but sure meth cd of developing the bust, arms and neck of women who through defect of nutrition and circulation, are humiliated by undeveloped arms, neck and bust. Ugly, deformed women are developed into charming personages, with well rounded arms and heck and full normal bust of exquisite curve and pro- portion. Get separately two ounces glycerine," three ounces rose water and "one ounce tine ture cadomene (not cadamom) compound" and five cents worth of borax Take home, mix the glycerine with tincture cadomene, shake and let stand two hours; then add a tea spoonful of bOrax and the rose water. Shake well and apply to the neck, arms and bust, rub ping and massaging until com pletely absorbed; then wash thoroughly with hot water and soap and dry thoroughly. Apply morning and night regularly for several weeks and the most beautiful development will begin to reward the efforts. It is be- lieved by experts to be the most necessary and effective prescrip- tion ever conceived.

 BIG WINTER FOR HOTELS-An of the hotels in the city report the prospect of an unusually large num- Der of winter visitors in the city.

The Womans club already has the ground but has not yet obtained sufficient funds to warrant plans being drawn for building.

BASEBALL SUNDAY-The Ma rooms will play . game of baseball with the Galpins at Eastlake park Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock. The increased interest which has been manifested in the game. and the good game played by Phoenix and Tucson last Sunday has created more en- thusiasm on the part of the fans. The lineup of the teams has not been furnished but as both teams are close as to average and as available play CTS are scarce, some excitement is looked for on the diamond Now, Galpin," don't ring in another Slap nic" pitcher on us; Williams will do. that is, if he does as well as last Sunday. and see that "Scotty" gets his place, but look out for him-he steals bases.

That the full, true sentiment Of
the residents of the city was not
expressed is plainly evident, and il
is believed if the proposition is again
submitted it will easily carry by the
desired two-thirds majority.
OF the 436 votes cast, 2S8 were in
favor of the proposition and 14S
were against, the vote lacking just
eight ballots of being a two-thirds
majority in favor of the proposition.
Another petition is being circu-
lated and it is said that the PROPOSE
ton will be re-submitted, and it is
believed that it will carry. In
deciding that a two-thirds majority
is necessary in voting bonds, the
members of the school board state
that the action is due to the fact
that the attorneys for the bonding
houses, almost universally demand
that any bonding proposition be
carried by a two-thirds majority
before they will offer a liberal pre-
MUM in taking up the bonds.

sent to St. Joe, to some of his rela-
tives there.
That Rassier's act was premedi-
tated is evident from the fact that
the carabolic acid was obtained at
Northome, as there was a Northome
label on the bottle.
Rassier returned from Northome
Yesterday and wrote long letter,
enclosed it in an envelope and had
Mrs. BERGMAN, wife of the landlord
of the hotel at Houpt, direct the
letter to his daughter, Miss Barbara
Rassier, Bergville, MINI.
Rassier left Houpt about about
10 o'clock last night, taking a lantern
with him. He was not much under
the influence of liquor when he left,
although he had been drinking
heavily of late. This was the last
seen of him until found this morning
by Kemp.
Indications point to Rassier's
death as having been deliberately
planned suicide.

DESPONDENT FROM DRINK
TOOK HIS OWN LIFE TODAY
Frank Rasser Of Houpt Drank Carbolic Acid and Met
Suicides Fate....Had Been Drinking and Had
Neglected His Family.

Houpt, March 13.-(Special to
Pioneer. 1.-The dead body of Frank
Rassier was found in an abandoned
residence shack, about one mile
east of this place, this morning at
9 o'clock, by John Kemp, who was
hauling cordwood into the village.
Kemp states that when he found
the body there was an empty car
,bolic acid bottle lying beside the
dead man, plainly indicating that
Rassier had taken his own life.
Kemp came to the village and word
was at once telegraphed to the coro-
ner of Itasca county, at Grand Rap
ids.
It appears that Rassier had been
drinking quite heavily of late and
had been visiting at Blackjack and
Northome yesterday.
He is the father of four children

beer neglecting them they had been

of the place the very best to be
had in the way of moving pictures
and vaudeville acts.
The film service at the Brinkman
has been the very best that money
could procure, and the vaudeville
acts have been all that could be
desired, the performance furnished
constituting up-to-date acts.
Last evening Mr.. Brinkman put
on as al extra attraction Way, the
Great" slight-of-hand performer.
Mr.. Way, who is travelling man,
is possessed of more than ordinary
ability as an entertainer.
In addition to Way, Iceland and
Lee gave a very clever turn. Their
act last night was new and will be
repeated tonight. They will put on
their last performance tomorrow
evening.
The Brinkman Family Theatre is
justly popular, and as three shows
are given every evening there is
ample time for any one who desires
to see an entire performance.
The first show begins at 7:1O, the
second at $40 and the third at 9:1O.
The Brinkman deserves the
liberal patronage they are receiving

The proposition to purchase the
new school site and vote the bonds
of the Independent School District
of Bemidji in the sum of $4,000 for
the erection of new school house
on the proposed site, failed to carry
by a two-thirds majority, at the cleo
ton held in the Central school build
ing last evening; and the PROPOSE
ton, as far as this election is con-
cerned, was knocked out"
A total of 436 votes were cast,
which is very small proportion of
the population of the city of Bemidji
that was entitled to vote at that
election.
At the recent city election, over
800 votes were cast, all of which
were cast by the male population of
the city. At last nights election,
the ladies we're entitled to cast their
ballot, and, conditions being right,
should have brought a total ballot
up to at least that of the city
election, 800.

LuMBERJACK SKY PILOT
HAD SUCCESSFUL SEASON
Rev. Frank Higgins Has Been Working
Near Deer River..--ls Some
what III.

Rev. E. E. Higgins of this city,
the only original "Lumberjack Sky
Pilot" has been visiting in the city
during the past three days,recuperat.
ing from a strenuous winters cam.
paign among the lumber camps of
northern Minnesota. Rev. Higgins
is afflicted with an attack of laryn-
gifts, brought on by excessive
preaching and talk among the lum-
berjacks.
Rev. Higgins has but recently re.
turned from a months trip through
the camps north of Deer River,
along the line of the Big Fork rail
way, owned by the. Itasca Logging
company. He states that his work
there was very successful, and that
he made many converts and re-
ceived much substantial aid for
carrying on the evangelical work.
He is much gratifed with the re-
suits obtained there,
During two weeks of the winter,
Rev. Higgins was at Indianapolis,
and other points in Indiana, as we'll
as at Chicago, and he says that
much interest was shown there in
the evangelical work being carried
on in the northern woods.
Rev. Higgins expects to visit the
camps about Deer River once more
before the spring breakup, and he
left for that place this noon.

CAUGHT IN ENGINE AND
INJURED, AT BACkUS
Arthur Thompson Has Left Arm Ampu.
tated and Fingers Of Right
Hand Removed.

Backus, March 13.-(Special to
Pioneer. while he was in charge
of the engine which furnishes power
for filling the watertank of the NJ. &
railway at Backus, yesterday, Arthur
Thompson received injuries which
may possibly prove fatal, and but
for the timely arrival of assistance,
his body would undoubtedly have
been literally pounded to shapeless
mass by the swiftly revolving wheel
Of the engine.
Thompson was running the engine,
which is but short distance from
the Backus watertank, when in some
unknown manner his clothing was
caught in the wheel and his body
was carried around the track made
by the wheel, striking the floor and
ceiling with terrific force.
A man who happened to be pass
ing the engine house heard Thomp-
sons cries for help and entering the
house stopped the engine. 1t took
some work to get Thompson loose
from the wheel, and an examination
showed that his left arm had been
crushed and his right hand also
badly injured, while he was also
hurt internally. Thompson was
taken to the hospital at Brainerd,
where yesterday afternoon his left
arm was amputated and two fingers
were removed from his right hand.
While Thompson's injuries are
very painful and quite serious, it is
not thought they will result fatally.

Mind Temporarily Deranged.,

William Hoolihan of Grand

arrived in this city this morning from
Northome having in custody Erick
Erickson, homesteader whose mind
has become temporarily deranged.
Sheriff Hoolihan left this noon
for Grand Rapids, where Erickson
will be given a hearing by the
probate court to determine his sanity.
Erickson has been living on a
homestead near Squaw lake, about
twenty miles southeast of Northome.
Like many other men who have
made their homes in the tall
timber" Erickson's lonely life preyed
on him until his mind gave away
and he is almost total wreck,
although not.of a violent disposition.
