THANKS, BROTHER.

Itasca County Independent Grand
Rapids): The Bemidji Pioneer, the
old standby, and the Bemidji Rec
ord, the new paper established
some time ago, have been consoli-
dated, and the plant, subscription
list, ETC., of the News of Bemidji,
have been purchased by the new
concern. This gives the Pioneer
the best printing plant, and one of
the best newspaper fields in this
section, and the move is one of
the best which could have been
made for the Pioneer and for Be-
midi. The policy outlined will be
a broad one for the benefit of Be-
midi and all concerned, and in an
editorial on the subject, the Pioneer
says, Now, let's all get together;
drop your imaginary grievances, and
assist the Pioneer and the Bemidji
Sentinel in making Bemidji the
best little city in Minnesota"

Tho Steering Sickness.

The terrible sleeping sickness Of
tropical Africa is discussed at length
in an article in Popular Mechanics
The disease, which long baf1led scien-
lists, is spread by the tsetse fly, a
bloodsucking, day flying insect. On the
approach of either man or animal at q
river crossing in the densest forest
the victim IS soon scented out by the
fly, If there is one in the vicinity, and
then, either silently or with a peevish
buzz, It makes straight for the most
accessible spot and gives it's stab.
The usual course Of the disease is
from four to eight months. At the
outset there are headache, a feverish
condition, lassitude and a correspond
ing disinclinatlon to work. The facial
aspect changes, and a previously happy
and Intelligent looking negro becomes
instead dull. heavy and apathetic.
Later, tremor In the tongue develops,
speech is uncertain, and mumbling,
walk shutting and progressive weak
ness, drowsiness and oblivion to his
surroundings afflict the sufferer. The
last stage is marked by extreme ema-
citation and coma deepening into
death. .#.

FIVE THOUSAND DIE
IN M0SLEM MASSACRE
More Than 0ne.third Of Them
Killed at Adana,

Constantinople, April 21.-No less
than 5000 persons lost their lives in
the massacres that have been going
on in the vilayet of Adana during the
past eight days as a result of the out
break of Moslem fanaticism. Of this
total 1000 were killed in the city of
Adana, more than 200 of the victims
being Moslems.
This information was received in
Constantinople through Consul Ar
channels.
Adana at present is quiet, but there
have been renewed attacks on Chris
ttans at Marash, in the vilayet of
Aleppo, about eighty miles northeast
of Alexandretta. The consular advices
describe the situation as extremely
precarious. The excitement at the
port of Alexandretta is intense, al
though the presence of the British
cruiser Diana at, that port is expected
to have tranquilizing effect.
Disturbances are reported from
Hadjin, in the northern extremity of
the Adana vilayet, where a large Ar
menian community is counted upon
to defend itself vigorously.

CAuSe of Fatty Heart.

The great danger from obesity lies
In the liability Of the fat to invade the
cellular elements Of the body, especial
ly the muscles. This produces fatty
degeneration Of the muscular tissues,
which greatly weakens and 1mpairs
their functional activity. When the
fat mvades the tissues of the heart
muscles the disease known as "fatty
degeneration Of the heart" results, and
the patient Is IN serious danger. When
ever q slight additional strain upon the
circulation results from undue exer-
else, excitement or other cause the
muscles interfere with the hearts &C.

Anaemia and hysteria often are accom-
paniments Of obesity. Because Of the
Increased weight and difficulty of
moving about such patients are pre-
vented from taking an ordinary
amount Of exercise. Often, too, there
are lassitude and positive dislike
for muscular exertion of any kind

suBscRlPTIoN-.-s5.oo PER ANNuM
VETO Of Bj0RGE BILL HIGHLY COMMEND.
ATORY.

The action of Governor Johnson
in vetoing the Biorge tonnage tax
bill, yesterday, is very generally
commended on all sides, more
especially in the north.central and
northeastern portion of the state.
While the governor gives several
good reasons for his action in veto
ing the bill, the Pioneer believes
that one of the most potent of these
is that in which he states that,
were the bill to become a law, it
would arouse sectional hatred in the
state which would undoubtedly retard
the development and disrupt cooper.
alton for the states best interests
as whole.
For some time past, we living in
the northern part of the state have
beer often almost convinced that
the residents of the older and
more thlckly-settled portions OF
southern Minnesota were attempting
to worst their northern brethren, and
by many acts purposely antagonizing
this section, which is rapidly de.
veloping into the most prosperous
part of the state.
Had the Bjorge bill became law,
there is little doubt but that the
breach that has been lessening of
late between the north and south
parts of the state would have again
widened and there would have been
bitter sectional fighting for many
years to come.
Governor Johnson is deserving of
much commentator, from several
standpoints, for his promptness in
meeting the situation square-toed
and not hesitating to give his seal OF
disapproval of measure that he
thought unjust and unwise at this
time.

WILL Protect AMERICANS
Two Armored Cruisers Ordered to
Turkish Waters.

Washington, April 21.-Two ar
mored cruisers, the North Carolina,
Captain Marshall, and the Montana,
Captain Reynolds, are to be sent to
the Mediterranean to protect Amer
lean interests in Turkey. They will
report to the consul at Alexandria,
The vessels are now in the West In
dies. They are directed to proceed
with all dispatch.
The announcement of the decision
to send two cruisers to Turkey fol-
lowed the adjournment of the cab
met meeting, the officials feeling that
there should be American naval rep
resentation near the disturbed dis
trict as quickly as possible.
The two vessels are now at Guam
tanamo and should reach Alexandretta
in fifteen or seventeen days. The dis
lance is about $500 miles. The YES
sells are in shape to depart almost i'm
mediately.

Prince Of Samos, Ruler of Greek ISL
and, Murdered.
Vienna, April PA telegram re-
ceived here from Smyrna, Asiatic Tur-
key, declares that Andre Kopassis
Efendi, prince of Samos, has been
murdered.
Samos is a Greek island off the west
coast of Asia Minor. 1t pays an an
nua1 tribute to Turkey and Turkey
maintains garrison there. It has
been under the protection of France,
England and Russia since 1882.
The Prince of Samos is nominated
by the sultan. He was appointed to
Office In 1897. There arose a serious
movement against him in May of last
year, when he was seized by the NAL
contents and beaten. He made his
escape to the palace and was besieged
there several days before troops re-
stored order.

Two coiored Boys Arrested for Taking
Gypsy Queens Money.
Philadelphia, April 21.-Showing
large rolls of money, giving barber
$50 for shave and a bartender $40
for two glasses of beer two colored
youths aroused the suspicion of the
police that the boys may have been
implicated in the robbery of Rhoda
Lowell, the eighty-year-old "Gipsy
queen who lost $4,000 while she lay
in her sick tent at Bryn Mawr, near
this city, and they were taken into
custody pending a further investiga-
ton.

.C0NSTANTIN0PLE
IS SURROUNDED
Constitutional Army Ready
to Occupy City. F..
FORCE OF $4,000 TROOPS

Men Are Well Equipped and Excel.
ientIy Disciplined and Are Confident
Of Ultimate Success-SuItan Issues
Orders That No Resistance Be Of
fered When the Investment of the
Capital Takes Place.
Constantinople, April 21.-The pop
ulation Of the Turkish capital awoke
to find the pickets of the constitu-
tional forces, who have surrounded
the city to make the sultan guarantee
the continuation of constitutional GOV
eminent, within calling distance of
the old walls that flank the capital on
It's south side. The constitutionalist
lines extend in a wide semi-circle
around three quarters of the city,
Pera, Galata and STEAMBOAT, and ev-
cry hour they are becoming longer.
All roads outside of the capital are
occupied by the investing forces,
whose twelve-mile front can be traced
distinctly, but movement of the high
ways has been practically unaffected
except that now and then travellers
are stopped and questioned and some
times taken before the commander of
the nearest outpost.
Several of the foreign military at
taches in Constantinop1e rode out and
visited friends among the Turkish off,
GERS who command battalions of the
constitutionalists and had an excel
lent opportunity to observe the con-
dition of the troops. They were
amazed at the excellence and COM
pleteness of the equipment and the
high state of efficiency of the field
telegraph system, the hospitals and
the supply trains. The men are we'll
fed. confident of ultimate success and
under excellent discipline.
Paying for Food With Cash.
All acquisitions made upon the peo-
pie for food or animals are paid for
In cash. The Italian attache counted
thirty machine guns and other mill
tary observers learned of the presence
of division Of sixty field guns at
tended by well mounted troopers. The
constitutionalists number more than
$4,000 strong.
The occupation of the city will not
long be delayed. 1t may take place at
any moment or the movement may be
deferred for twenty-four hours.
General Husni, commanding the
army Of investment, says that as he
will have to patrol a city of 100000
people, In which there are many dan
gerous mob elements, he must have at
his command enough men to do this
work carefully and well and not only
to take the city but to hold it.
In the meantime no preparations
are being made within the city to
offer resistance to the army of con-
stitutionalists. The sultan has issued
orders that not shot shall be fired
by his household troops or the Con-
stantinople garrison against the forces
that have surrounded the city in the
interest of the committee of union
and progress and that threaten to
occupy Constantinople within twenty
four hours.

GERMANY is A MODEL IN
THE PRACTICE OF FORESTRY

Forest experts of all nationalities
agree that Germany is in an enviable
position as regards her lumber sup
ply No nation in the world makes
more thorough utilization of its for
est resources.
The German Empire has approx
mately 35,000,000 acres of forest, of
which 31.9 per cent belongs to the
state. Many years ago that country
awakened to the necessity of ap-
plying the same methods of bust
ness economy to he management of
its forest lands that are applied to
its operations in trade, and the re-
all other countries.
German forestry is remarkable in
three ways-it has always led in
scientific thOrOughness and now it
is working out results with an exact
ness almost equal to that of the
laboratory; it has applied this
Scl0uLlllC hHOWl6uS6 Win the great
est technical success; and it has
solved the problem of securing
through long series of years an
increasing forest output and increas-
ing profits at the same time.
Starting with forests which were
III as bad shape as many of our own
cutover areas, Germany raised the
average yield of wood per acre from
twenty cubic feet in 1880 to seventy
five cubic feet in 1908. During the
same period it trebled the proper
ton of saw timber secured from the
average cut, which means, in other
words, that through the practice of
forestry the timber lands of Germany
are of three times better quality to-
day than when no system was used.
In little over half a century it in
creased the money returns from an
average acre of forest seven fold,
and today the forests are in better
condition than ever before.

MAKE A KICK

People may not like a kicker, but
it often happens that the intelligent,
persistent kicker is a public bene-
factor
The theatre patron or church at
tendant who kicks about the lack
of good, fresh air and demands better
ventilation may be prompted by pure
ly selfish motives, but, all the same,
if, as a result of his complaints,
the theatre provides better ven
tilation, many hundreds of other PEG
pie are directly benefited
Patrons of theatres, churches and
street cars should insist on protec-
ton from the terrible effects of be-
ing compelled to breathe bad air;
and persistent, forceful kicking is a
pretty good way to get this protec-
ton.

SKATING RINK FOR
GRAND RAPIDS
Wausau Men Finance New
Amusement Resort to Open

Wausau Daily Record: Wausau
men are interested in a new COM
pany that has been formed in Grand
Rapids. Its name is the Grand Rap
ids Amusement company. The Wau-
sau stockholders are Ovid Belanger,
Mark Bells and Dan Healy. Thomas
Mullen of Grand Rapids is also in
terested in the company. A certifi-
cate of incorporation is expected to
arrive from Madison in a few days.
A meeting has been called for Sat-
urday for the purpose of electing Of
ficers.
The company will build a roller
skating rink in Grand Rapids similar
to the one in Merrill, known as the
Palace rink, put up last fall, which
is one of the most popular and sue
cessful amusement places in that
city. The same Wausau men are in
terested in the Merrill rink. The
cost of the rink will be between ten
and fifteen thousand dollars. Work
on it's construction is to begin in ten
days, the calculations are to have it
completed in the fall. The building,
besides serving for roller skating,
will be so constructed as to be
suitable for dances, motion picture
shows and amusements of other
kinds
