Are we happy? Well | guess yes
Do we care for that game which W
dropped to Davenport Saturday? MOI
on your life after the way the Island
ers got even yesterday. 1t made it all
the more sweet to know that the proud
and naughty yictors of Saturdays en-
gagement were made to bite the
dust by the Islanders when they met
Ia2ain on Sunday. There was some-
| thing doing all the time yesterday and
| it is coming to Davenport to confess
| that they played a good game and that
| II was simply a case of being Up
against too classy bunch for them.
Just mere drubbing didn't satisfy
Jack Tighe's men, they rubbed it in
by shutting the Prodigals out without
a run and letting them down with
three measly hits. In the meantime
five runs were placed on the islanders
lside of the score board. Our old friend
lChristy Wilson, performed on the slab
for six rounds and the way he handed
them up was a sight for sore eyes.
lChriSty is evidently back in his old
time form and he was able to dish IN
any old kind of ball that Gus Eng
Icallcd for. He had the Davenport bat
tiers tanning the atmosphere at wide
Jones about half the time and the other
half of the tfme they were jumping
laway from balls that went straight
lover the pan. He was up to all his
old tricks and time after time he
lpushed one over the plate when the
batter was not looking for pitched
ball. He covered his part of the
diamond in his usual manner, also, anG
got two putouts and four assists with
out the semblance of an error. Web
ster, who took Christy's plate at the
end of the sixth inning. was just as
much of an enigma. and in the remain

The Islanders counted their first
tally in the initial inning. Mclean

went to second on Stark's hit He
moved up another notch while both
Murphy and Stark were being retired
by fast double play pulled off by
McGrew, Nye and Shaffer. Kelley'5
first hit which came next, was the
means of Meloan's reaching the plate
with the first run. From the first in
ming until the sixth, the Islanders
failed to get wise to Smiths curves,
but in the sixth they made up for lost
time. Six hits and a sacrifice drove
in three runs and only fast work on
DavcnpOrt's part prevented more IS
landers from crossing the pan. Wilson
led Off with a hit to Nye. which he
beat out Mclean followed with a
bingel that drove Christy 20 third.
Then Stark poled his second hit which
was good for two sacks and Wilson
scored while Mclean was caught at the
plate by narrow margin. Stark went
to third on the throw home and came
in a minute later when Murphy poled
a long fly to left field. 1t looked as
though two scores ought to have salts

Cut Down With n Double.

DaycnportS only chance for scoring
was nipped so neatly by Henry Kelley,
who played on third base yesterday,
that Davenport can't quite see yet how
lit was done. The bases were full as
the result of an error by Berger, two
hits and a lielder's choice, and the
Davenport element which was by no
means small. was in high glec over the
fact that there was but one ont.
Pitcher Smith was at the plate with
his club and teaSed around for a few
minutes knocking fouls until the visi-
tors felt sure that his next attempt
would be either strikeout or a hit
| While they were dreaming on in this
frame of mind the ball and bat met
and then in an instant all was over
and the Davenport team was on its
way into the field Smith had knocked
a fast one to Kelley who speared II
by dive towards third. AS soon as
he had it, he made another dive and
touched third with it. thus forcing the
man who was coming from second, and
Ithen threw to first in time to catch
Smith. The throw to first was the best
lpart of the play as il was made from
an awkward position and yet was swift
and sure. The double play retired the
side and prevented what seemed {
sure score. KClley's work. both in the
field and at bat, was one of the feat

UNUSUAL COALITION
IN WORK OF REFORM
Brewers to Assist Cincinnati
Anti-Sa|oon League.

Cincinnati, April This city is
now to witness the unusual coalition
of brewers, the Anti-Saloon league and
the Municipal Reform league in a unit
ed effort to put the bad saloonkeeper
out of business.
Through the efforts of the Ohio
Brewers association the state 1egis1a-
ture passed the Dean character" law,
under which the saloonkeeper must
swear to number of interrogatories
as to whether he has violated the Sun
day closing law or allowed minors to
enter his saloon and so on. If the
salOonkeeper answers mo- to all the
1nterrogatories but it is found he has
not given a correct answer to single
one his license is to be revoked
The brewers declare they will aid
the reformers in an effort to put the
bad saloonkeeper out of business. A
brewing company at Hamilton an
nounces that it will not sell beer to a
saloonkeeper who keeps his saloon
open on Sunday.

Paris, April THE French press is
displaying great interest and curios
ity in Theodore Roosevelt. ''NNhen the
Caesar of modern democracy goes
hunting Europe, Asia, Africa and
America climb to their windows and
watch the caravan of publicity pass
is the way one of the papers describes
Mr. Roosevelt's journey to East AT.
RIGA
A majority of the French CORE
spondents sent to Naples to chronicle
their impressions of Mr.. Roosevelt say
that the former president of the Unit
ed States is absorbed in himself. They
describe his cabin as filled with his
books and Uttered with photographs
of himself and the members of his
family. They say that the only OBJ
ject not relating to Nj. Roosevelt him
self in his cabin was a photograph of
Emperor William, bearing the impe-
rial signature in green ink.
Mr.. Roosevelt talked freely, but
principally about himself and his
work, the correspondents say, and he
manifested disposition to preach"
In his conversation he touched upon
his Knickerbocker ancestry and his
experiences as ranchnnan in the Far
West. Turning to politics he said he
had been elected to the presidency as
a representative Of honesty against
the power of gold.

Mr.. Roosevelt is further quoted as
having said that the president of the
United States was more powerful than
any constitutional monarch of Europe.
He pointed out, the French CORE
spondents aver, that he possessed the
power of veto; that he appointed the
entire diplomatic corps and the high
governmental functionaries and that
he was maker Of treaties with only
the consent of those which he charac-
terized as the national regulator
He said that for. the two terms while
president he spent his time in fighting
the trusts and that he rejoiced that he
had left behind an America where the
only king will be the state. "The
machinery Of state will now roll on

as saying, but with the impetus 1

ACTUAL STARVATION
Barker's Drug Store Gives Facts
Regarding Dyspepsia.

Although Indigestion and Dys-
pepsia are SO prevalent, most
people do not thoroughly under
stand their cause and cure. There
IS no reason why people should
not eat anything they desire if
they will only chew it carefully
and thoroughly. Many actually
starve themselves into sickness
through fear of eating every good
looking, good-smelling and good
tasting food, because it does not
agree with them.
Dieting cannot cure Dyspepsia.
1t we refuse every article OF food
that disagrees with us, before long
we have nothing left, and find our
selves chronic dyspeptics.
We can cure Dyspepsia. We are
so confident of this fact that we
guarantee cure, and promise to
supply the medicine free Of all
cost to everyone who will use it,
who is not perfectly satisfied with
the results which it produces. We
exact no promises, and put no one
under any obligation whatever.
Surely, nothing could be fairer. We
are located right here in Bemidji,
and our reputation should be stuff ;.
Gent assurance Of the genuineness
of our offer.
We want everyone in Bemidji
who is troubled with Indigestion or
Dyspepsia form to come to our
store and get a box of Rexal Dys.
pepsia Tablets. Take them home
and give them reasonable trial,
according to directions. They are
very pleasant to take; they soothe
the irritable stomach, strengthen
and invigorate the digestive organs
promote healthy and natural
bowel action, Immediately relieve
nausea and all stomach irritation
produce perfect and healthy diges-
ton and assimilation, and promote
nutrition.
A csc. package of Rexall Dys:

treatment. In ordinary cases, this
is sufficient to produce cure. In.
more chornic cases, a longer treat

During an audience with the mayor
OF Naples this official conveyed to Mr..
Roosevelt a special vote of the munic-
ipal council, thanking the former pres
1dent and the American people for the
#succor sent from the United States to
the earthquake sufferers. Mr.. Roose-
velt expressed his appreciation Of
this commune ation. He said there
should be no question of gratitude.
The earthquake gave the American
people an opportunity to show their
sympathy in this unparalleled disaster
which had made Italy at once the
creditor of the whole world.

mfral for short visit to the ruins Of

;UBsCRIPTloN-.-s5.0O PER ANNuM
GOVERNOR JOHNSON DID RIGHT In vEToING
CASS LAKE BILL.

To Governor John A. johnson is
due the thanks of the people of north
central and northwestern Minnesota
for the courage which he exhibited
yesterday in vetoing the bill passed
by both houses of the legislature,
locating sixth state normal school
at Cass Lake, thus putting the seal
of his disapproval on an act which
was passed simply as a token of
good fellowship" for two of the
members of the legislature and with
out regard to the fitness of the vii
lage of Cass Lake as a proper loca-
ton for such an institution, when
compared with other cities and vii
lagos in the territory to be affected
by the proposed school. 80.
Many times, since the legislature
convened, have the supporters of
Cass Lake openly boosted that while
Bemidji and Thief River Falls we're
by far better suited for the location
of state normol school, yet Cass
Lake and her supporters had the
political pull" with the legislative
solons and had "cinched" the school
even before the legislature convened.
These statements were repeated,
even to the point of insolance. and
the Cass Lake newspapers boosted
of their political preference, scofing
at the idea that the visit of any
legislative committee would be any
thing else than a mere matter of
form, which could possibly make no
difference in the ultimate result of
choosing Cass Lake as the point for
the new normal. - .-.. ~
After the final vote was taken in
the house last Friday and sixty men,
bers voted in favor of the Cass Lake
bill, representative of the Pioneer
personally interviewed fully two
thirds of the affirmative voters as to
their reasons for voting aye on the
proposition. Of those interviewed,
not one member was willing to be
placed on record as having favored
the Cass county town because that
place was more eminently fitted for
the location of the school than
Bemidji, Thief River Falls, Red
Lake Falls, Warren or Park Rapids.
On the contrary, with one accord
they gave as an excuse that Nc.
Garry was good fellow and they
couldn't 20 back on him.
The majority report of the house
normal school committee, which
favored the adoption of general"
bill leaving the location to the nor
NAL school board, which was emil
nently fitted to select site after due
consideration and investigation, was
entirely ignored by the sixty men
who saw fit to vote to place an impor-
tant state institution simply on the
geniality possessed by an associate
member. ~.
The determination of Cass Lakes
supporters to get the school for Cass
Lake irrespective of qualifications
and fitness has caused many deroga-
tory remarks; and the action of
Governor Johnson in vetoing the
Cass Lake bill and refusing to be a
party to the unreasonable action of
the legislature will meet with the
unstinted approval and commenda-
ton of all who are acquainted with
the true qualifications of Cass Lake
and who do not believe in subjugat-
ing every interest to political pull
and intrigue. "
Governor John A.. Johnson did
exactly right
