LENNON DOSEN'T WANT TO BE A REPRE-.
sentative.

It is quite generally understood
that Representative J. J. Opsahl
will not be candidate for re-
election to represent the Sixty-frst
Legislative district, and since that
impression has gone abroad, there
has been much speculation as to
who would be candidates for the
republican nomination for represent
alive.
One name which was suggested,
and which has met with general ap-
prevail, was that of William Lennon
of Kelliher. Mr.. Lennon is a hard
working republican of the dyed-in-
the-wool variety, and has always
labored industriouly for the success
of the republican ticket. He is a
good MIXER" and has friends in
every part, of the district. It is gen.
orally; conceded that he would make
an'excellent representative.
But Mr.. Lennon has literally
thrown cold water" on the propo-
sition of running him as candidate
for legislative honors, by declaring
emphatically to a representative of
the Pioneer that he would not for a
moment entertain any proposition
which: had in view his, candidacy
for the legislature. He stated that
he could not afford to be a candi.
date, and what was more had no
desire to be a representative; and
will not permit the use of his name.
Mr.. Lennon stated that any good
man from Bemidji, or any qualife
candidate which the people of Be.
midi could agree upon, would receive
his hearty support and cooperation
for election as representative.

P. o. Peterson of Ada, sheriff Of

& +
P. O. Peterson of Ada, sheriff Of
Norman county, was a visitor in
Bemidji yesterday. Mr.. Peterson
left this morning for International
Falls to take into custody John
Crogen, who is wanted at Ada. It
appears that Crogen who solicited
subscriptions throughout Norman
county for church. in Norway, in
some way became involved whereby.
he was charged with diverting the
funds to his own use. Crogen solic-
tied the funds about year ago and
left Ada. His whereabouts were
ascertained the first of this week
when it was known that he was
working at International Falls.
Crogen will be taken to Ada, where
he will probably square" the deal
in which he has been involved.

no hesitation in publicly recon-
mending Doan's Kidney Pills,
as I am confident that my testimoni-

relief to other sufferers. There was
a dull ache in the small of my back
for months. My kidneys were much
disordered, the secretions being un-
natural and at times there was a
great deal of soreness across my
loins. At last I decided to try
Doan's Kidney Pills and procured
a box at the Owl Drug Store. 1

HE CONSIDERS SPOKANE
PARENTAL SCHOOL MODEL

Il consider the Spokane parental
school a model of its kind, and con
graduate the authorities on their
good fortune in securing sucN a
man as William Baker to take
charge of the children intrusted to
his care" said C. c. Aspinwall SUI
perintendent of the Chehalis tain
ing school, this morning in speak-
ing of his visit to the parental
school yesterday afternoon.
The success of a parental school
or like institution depends upon
the man at the head of it," con-
tinued Mr.. Aspinwall, "and | con-
slider Mr.. Baker one of the most
competent men in the country for
this kind of work. All of the 20
boys at the local institution We're
apparently happy and enjoying
themselves"
Mr.. Aspinwall leaves tonight for
ChehaliS after most successful
stay in this city. During his brief
visit he came in touch with the
parents of boys and girls confined
in the training school, and from
the parents was enabled to form
de.lnite ideas as to the ACCESSIBILITY
of paroling some of the youngsters.

And when he announced proudly
that he was going to marry pretty

| do not agree with Mrs. Joseph

on motherhood with an empty

est thing next to nothing, and with
prices of living continually al
vancing. motherhood for the sake
of the innocent child is a disgraoe
to the poor people. This world Is
overrun now with the poor class6s
"A poor mans life is not worth the
throw of a stone. Then why is It
he has the largest families?
He has not the chance to make "a
living worth the while; cannot edb-
cate his offspring and give it "a
reasonable start in life's battle; Ia
great many get discouraged, play
coward and leave the babies they
are responsible for to the mothers,
who are forced to bring them up
the best they can.
Is it any wonder that orphans
homes are filled to overlooking?
Look among the cheapest class of
lodging houses and one will find
families with three to five children
live, sleep and eat in one room.
The room itself is as dirty as
hogpen. The children are running
wild in the street and alleys with
faces and rags equally as dirty,
while the mother is busily engaged
over the wash tub in order to help
make a living. Motherhood under
these conditions is a disgrace to
modern civilization.

THIRSTY SOUTH NOW
| TURNS TO RICHMOND
10000 Gallons of Whisky a
Day Shipped From There,
Much to DRY" Territory.

RICHMOND, Va, Dec. 31.-yAs a
distributing point for the entire
South, as well as for many states
of the Middle West, Richmond at
this season has been shipping
probably more whiskey to dry sec
tons than was ever sent out in the
same length of time from any other
city in the country, not excepting
New York and Chicago. This L.
claration is based on statements
made by leading whiskey dealers
and on estimates furnished by rep
resentatives of the express COM
panies.
The bulk of these big shipments
have been consigned to individuals
in North Carolina, South Carolina
Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi and
the various dry sections of Vir-
ginia. At the same time enormous
quantities of distilled spirits have
been shipped to Texas, Indiana,
Florida and Illinois.
1t is said there is not a state in
the Union to which packages con-
tanning liquor have not been ship
ped from here since Dec. 1. The
express companies have rented a
warehouse especially for the hand
ling of these shipments. Indica-
tons are that at least 10000 gal
Ions of Whiskey are shipped from
this city daily. The whiskey estab-
lishments are working night and
day.

TOSSED $500
WORTH PLUMES
OUT Of WINDOW

No trace has been found of the
burglars who, at about 10 o'clock
last night, made vain attempt to
steal line of ostrich plumes from
the warehouse of the Tyler Millin-
cry Co. at Post street and Railroad
avenue.
The burglar tossed six boxes,
about $500 worth of the costly
feathers, out of the window on the
fifth story, but James Wilson, a
roomer in the Ross block, across
the street, heard the crash of the
boxes and turned in an alarm. His
accomplice evidently became fright
ened and did not show up to re-
move the feathers.
The police surrounded the build
ing in an endeavor to capture the
man who had been working in the
fifth story, but no trace of him
could be found.

OFFER reward FOR
CAPTURE OF SMITH

A substantial reward will be of
fered for the capture of the muir
derer of Forrest Smith, who was
shot down by footpads on Baldwin
avenue at about 10 o'clock last
night. It was announced today
that the county and city authorities
may get together and place a re-
ward for the capture of the Grim
inals.
The police are securing the city
today in an effort to secure the
murderer. No one witnessed the
killing of Smith, a young man of
2S years, who lived at E512 Bald
win avenue. The shooting occur
red on Baldwin about a block from
the Astor car line. 1t is believed,
however, that it was the work of
footpads, for the reason that
previous to the shooting a number
of reports of holdupS working in
that vicinity were telephoned to the
police.
Last night was a busy one for
the local officers. At the time
that the report of the murder of
SmlJn came III, Jne patrOl was over
at the Tyler Millinery Co.. respond
ing to a burglar alarm. A number
of the officers were out in the re-
Spouse TO the holdup reports.
The first report of the murder
was sent in by H. Lundberg, who
lives at E414 Baldwin avenue. He
had come out on the same car with
Smith, alighting and walking down
the opposite side of Baldwin ave
nue.. He was on his own porch
when he heard two shots. Turning
he saw man running down Bald
win, and Immediately telephoned
the police. A number of other resi-
dents in the same neighborhood
heard the shots, but did not see
the assailant.
Smith was shot through the body,
and died before the officers reach
ed him. The murdered man was
unmarried. With his brother,
Homer J. Smith, he was employed
at the Union Iron Works. He has
lived here for about year, coming
from Clay Center, Kansas.

Child Tells Court How She
Robbed Bank of $4,000,
Acting as Tool of Rela-
tiyes.

CHICAGO, Dec. 31.-With the re-
cital of a romance that brought
tears to the eyes of spectators and
attorneys alike, the case of Grip
pied 17-year-old Angela Schiavone,
an Italian girl accused of stealing
from her fathers bank, was re-
sumed in the criminal court today.
The girl took the stand following
her statement yesterday that she
had stolen $97,S20 from the bank
during the last two years. Eight
of the girls relatives are accused
of inspiring the thefts by promis-
ing to get Angela a husband when
she had secured money enough to
buy him.
Under merciless cross-examin-
alton by the counsel for the rela-
tives, during which the witness re-
peatedly broke down, the girl testi-
fled that. her uncle, Francesca
sSrhiavone. and his wife, first sug-
gested the thefts. She said:
They told me ! was a cripple
and would never be like other girls.
