thing thing, that thing, looks like
a mile track with the grandstand in
the center. BY George, Til buy for
all who'll drink"
There wasn't thing moving on
Bemidji avenue except that hat.
Traffic was suspended blocked
paralyzed. A man would have been
fool to drive a horse past that hat.
There wouldn't have been anything
left of the rig but the whipstock. A
Great Dane happened to see the
come-on-in-under the porte cochere"
and streaked it up Third street so
fast that the friction scorched his
hair.
After the hat finally got around
the corner there was a small pro-
cession of other Merry Widows.
They were mild, domesticated types
compared to the blue one. The
ordinary thirty-six inches seemed a
season old. A couple of poor females
who don't like actresses or the stage
walked up and down Third street
with winter bonnets on. Honestly
they looked like frayed lace on
last years shirtwaist. It was a
shame for those rank weeds to get
into such a growth of luxurious
flowers. -.-.

ter and resume the execution of the
ambitious plans that had been formed
by the Russian government for the de-
velopment of the city before the war
with Japan. Therefore, the objection
of American Consul Fisher to full
recognition of the Russian authority
at Hardin was found to be based
rather upon the form in which the
local Russian officials proposed to at
tain their objects and not to the OBJ
jects themselves.
Therefore it may be stated that
there will be no further friction be-
tween the American consul and the
Russian government at Hardin over
this incident.

SIMPLE WASH CURES ECZEMA.
Itching, Burning Skin Disease
Routed Without Use of In.
furious Drugs.

Great inventors often have been
praised for surrendering the secrets
of their discoveries. Practically the
same thing happened in the medical
world in the case of DR.. Decatur D.
Dennis, the eminent skin specialist
of Chicago.
DR.. Dennis, in his own office prac-
rice, discovered that pure vegetable
oil of wintergreen, properly mixed
with other simple remedies was
practically sure specific for Eczema,
psoriasis, BARRIERS itch, salt rheum,
and other itching skin diseases. But
the oil of wintergreen alone was
found ineffective. 1t required other
mild ingredients such as glycerine
and thymol compounded with the
wintergreen, to produce the real
eczema cure.
. y
This compounded D. D. D. Pre-
scription positively takes away the
itch at once-the instant it is APP
piled to the skin. This vegetable
liquid does away with deleterious
drugs solong used in an attempt to
doctor the blood. Whereas modern
science has determined that eczema
is first and all the time skin dis
ease.
If you want to know more about
the famous D. D. D. Prescription,

this remedy. Barker's Drug Store.

Gasoline Launches Getting Ready.

Charles L. Bang is one of the
residents of the city who have de-
cided to enjoy life on Lake Bemidji
and it's tributaries, during the coming
summer, and has purchased a fine
new gasoline launch. The boat is a
Red Wing, 16-footer, and will afford
much pleasure to its owner and his
family.
Eric Ives has purchased new
Graves engine from Jerrard & Gov
ington, for his boat, and will take
his place among the leaders who own

Cyclone Twenty-seven Years Ago.

Today is the twenty seventh ami
versary of the cyclone which created
much havoc at Sank Rapids and St.
Cloud, and killed eighty-nine people
in that immediate vicinity.
This fact was called to mind this
morning by E. H. Jerrard, who was
a. resident of St. Cloud at the time
of the cyclone, but was fortunately
not injured, nor were any of the
members of his family.
The St. Cloud cyclone is always
referred to as one of the most de-
structive 'wind-blows" in the history
of the state.

Washington, April 14.-Secretary
Root had long conference. at the
state department with the Russian
ambassador, Baron Rosen, the feature
of which was the Manchurian situa-

ambassador left Washington for New

with him the last words of the Amer

From the Russian standpoint it was
