increased until he tapped his feet nerv-

Fine Art of Letter OPENING.

In Russia one letter in every ten
passing through the post is opened by
the authorities as a matter Of course.
Indeed the postal authorities of every
country have experts who have raised
letter opening to a, 6ne art. Some
kinds Of paper can be steamed open
without leaving any traces, and this
simple operation is finished by re-
furnishing the flap with a bone instru-
ment. In the case Of seal a matriX

fore breaking the wax When other
methods fail the envelope is placed be-
tween pieces Of wood with edge pro-
jecting one-twentieth of al inch. The

Later a hair line of strong white gum
is applied and the edges united under

To the guests who have come from

Bemidji extends her warmest well

of the Weather Man, we pledge
you a solid vote and at least one
good meal. To those who may be
strangers within our gates, we take
this opportunity to remind you that
not so many years ago tepees were
more popular than business houses;
that no saws sang their way through
logs; that there was no need of
factory, or shop and that Chief Be-

The Old Time, SURGEON.

Before anaeSthrtit'S were known the
surgeons only lexpedient was to abridge
his patients Sutferings by working
rapidly. In this the old time surgeons
did wonders. They had control and
surety in their hands that are. now
seldom found. One day the celebrated
surgeon Maisonneure had to amputate
the leg of Il poor devil. who began to
howl in advance "Ill give you my
watch" said the surgeon. IF the oper
alton lasts more than minute" The
man accepted the offer, but was oblig
ed to forego the handsome watch. az
the operation took less time than it re
quires to describe To amputate an
arm at the shoulder is most difficult
operation. Or. Langenbeck of Ger
many did it in two minutes. A young
physician who came to see him per-
form the operation adjusted his spec
tacles to his nose so as not to lose a
single movement. hut when the spec
tacles were in place the operation was
over and the severed arm lay on the
floor. Times have changed much since

ROOSEVELT.

What does the defeat of Stimson
in New York mean to Roosevelt?
That is the question which has
set the country to talking, and is a
question which cannot be answered.
Representative STEVENSON inclines
to the belief that it means that the
Roosevelt star has sunk. Many
men, good business men, declare
that not only has the star sunk, but
that Roosevelt and his danger
policies" are buried so deep they can
never again see the light of day.
They see real prosperity in store for
the country; the return of safe
and sane" government and the
eternal blasting of anything akin to
a monarch in America.
Other men, andsthey, too, appear
rational and fairly intelligent, say
the election of Dix in New York was
a calamity in which the nation is in
terested and that the only manner
in which to right the wrong is to
force Roosevelt to again become a
candidate for president.
That Colonel Roosevelt's popu-
larity has received a dent, no one
can deny. That he is no longer
power is putting it too strong.

WHAT WILL HAPPEN?

The power OF the national house
of representatives, as the result OF
Tuesdays election, is assured to the
democrats.
Justly or not, the Payne-Aldrich
tariff bill is largely to blame fol-
this unusual condition of affairs.
Cannonism and Aldriehism, made so
much of by the democrats, were
issues terminating largely from the
revision of the tariff. The power of
the venerable speaker of the house
long ago vanished and the triumph
of his opposing! party permits his
graceful exist from the political
arena. Aldrich, too, has gone into
the discard.
: The hue and cry raised by the
democrats has had its effect. They
are to taste of the sweets of victory
for the first time in years.
1t is true that the cost of living
has been increased. The demo-
Gratis have howled loud and long
that the republicans are to blame.
The campaign was waged and
wonson that cry. Now let that party
continue the! prosperity which has
marked the power of the republicans
and at the same time cut the cost
of necessities.
1t will be a novel experience for
the county.
Champ Clark as speaker of the
house with working majority for
the democrats causes cold chills.
Let us hope for the best and pre-
pare for the worst.

BRAlNERD.

We bow low to Brainerd. The
manner in which that city is boost
ing for the coming gathering there
of the Northern Minnesota Develop
ment Association entities her to a
warm round of applause.
Not little of the success of the
December convention depends upon
the town in which it is to be held.
Brainerd is doing her share.
The Crow Wing town is earning
all the advertising that it is getting

to it for the interest there, although
primarily to make a good showing
for itself, rebounds to the credit of
all northern Minnesota.
