Immediately after the great wall of
water had passed. Austin is piped
for natural gas, and the great force
of the flood tore the mains from the
streets. One of them, the largest pipe
in the town, burst in the business Sec
ton. A moment afterward the gas
gushed out, and in a twinkling it had
taken fire. There was no explosion,
but the flames leaped to the height

Election Booth Wiped Out.

One of the spots where the force OF
the flood was most severely felt was
at the junction of Freeman run with
another small stream in the heart of
the business section. a primary cleo
ton was in progress in a building not
far away and many men were in the
vicinity. They did not heed the warn
ing shout and all of them are believed
to have been carried away. Not a
trace of the building in which the cleo.
ton was being held can be seen. With
the building went the election records,
An incident of the flood came to
light when Harry Davis, the aged en-
gineer who was standing near the
dam when it broke, found that his
family had been saved. Even while
searching for them, distracted by the
fear that they had been lost he found
time to answer the telephone and re-
assure frightened persons living at
distance, who, hearing rumOTs of the
calamity, feared for the safety of their
loved ones. Davis lived not far from

Doctors Said He Would Die
A Friends Advice Saves Life

l wish to speak of the wonderful
cure that l have received from your
noted Swamp-Root, the great kidney
and bladder cure. Last summer l was
taken with severe pains in my back
and sides. l could not breathe with
out difficulty and was nearly wild
with the desire to urinate. Was COM
PEELED to do SO every ten minutes with
passage OF pure blood with the urine.
| tried all the different doctors from
far and near, but they said it was no
use to doctor as l would die anyway.
l was at the end of my rope and was
so miserable with pain and the
thought that l must die that words
cannot tell how I felt. One day a
friend told me of the wonderful help
she had received from Dr. Kilmer's
Swamp-Root. She gave me one of
your pamphlets which l read and de-
termined to try Swamp-Root. After
taking half bottle I felt better.
Have now taken ten bottles and am
we'll as I ever was, thanks to Swamp
Root. ] wish to tell all suffering
people that have kidney, liver or
bladder trouble, that Dr.. Kilmer's
Swamp-Root is the best medicine on
the market. - .-..

"GettiDg the News.

Yes, like the paper" said a GER
tain gentleman, but he said it in
such way that it was clear that
there was something about the Pho
neer which didn't quite meet with
his approval. Pressed for An ex-
PLANTATION he finally said:
"Well, have been going into Be-
midji on an average of twice month
for long time and seldom, if ever,
has the paper mentioned my name
OF course I don't care, etc.
The Pioneer gladly would have
mentioned the gentleman's name, ex-
cept for the very good reason that his
presence was unknown Often he
came in on a night train and was
the guest of friends rather than the
hotels. Had he informed the Pho
neer of his visit at any time his
coming would certainly have been
chronicled.
And this is but one instance of the
difficulty of getting the news, par
ticularly items of personal interest,
always dear to the paper-and the
public. In the larger cities the pa
pers are protected by large STATS of
reporters and many other agencies
are news gatherers; the policemen
for instance.
If, in a town the size of Bemidji,
al persons would be considerate
enough to turn in, items which they
know would be of interest, it would
make a more ideal paper, rebound to
the credit of the town and tend to
largely prevent the irritation of the
character suffered by the gentleman
above.

A native diver descended into the
water to see whether one of the piers.
then in course Of construction. had set.
While he was engaged in this work a
great iron cylinder subsidized little,
crushing his hand between it and the
masonry. When, on signal being Civ
en-, another diver came down he found
his unfortunate comrade imprisoned
under water without hope of escape.
After a few moments of mute despair
and narrowing uncertainty speech
less decision was arrived at, and the
newcomer proceeded with chisel and
hammer to hack off his unhappy COM
panion's hand at the wrist The pris-
oner was thus liberated, but died soon
after reaching the surface from the
shock. Never, think. has an opium
eater in his dreams imagined more

Damascus Olive Groves.

There Is an ancient custom under
which the olive groves around Damas.
Gus are guarded by official watchmen
to prevent the trees being stripped by
thieves. But on certain date the gov.
ernor or some magistrate issues q
proclamation warning all owners of
olive trees that they must pick their
fruit, for after certain date it be-
comes public property. If a farmer
has his crop only half gathered when
that date arrives the public will gath
err it for him.

GOODBYE, WHITTIER.

FRANK A. whittier, the gentleman
whose keen intellect and fatherly
disposition lead him to invent a con-
trivance over which bare. backed
boys were pinioned so as to be in
more convenient position for fog
ging, still hangs on to his position
as superintendent of the Red Wing
training school, s
But May is moving month and if
Governor Eberhart has anything to
say about it, Mr.. Whittier will be one
of the movers.
Ever since the legislative investi-
cation brought out the fact that
boys were being numerically whip
ped for trivial offenses at the Red
Wing school, the governor has had
hard work controlling a feeling of
disgust and indignation that such
things are possible under state pro-
lection. =.
And there are others who are
aroused by the same feeling. Not
alone the mothers and fathers of
growing boys but almost every
one else who has any red blood or
human kindness in their veins. -
And so the climax of patience has
been reached. The public desires
and the governor insists that there be
a prompt change in the MANAGEMENT
OF the Red Wing school. At an all
day conference on Sunday, Superin-
tendent Whittier, represented by
Red Wing attorney, refused to hear
Governor Eberhart's gentle hint
that he resign his Red Wing post.
Those who know the governor are
satisfied that the next time he
speaks, which must be soon, Mr..
Whittier will be told in no uncertain
language that mis- services are no
longer needed.
1t would seem that if Mr.. Whittier
really had the good of the school at
heart, he would make way without
further trouble for new man. OBJ
.viously, things can not continue in
the present state of decentralization
and that decentralization will! grow
as the wrath of the people becomes
more and more pronounced.
That the school has not been con-
Quoted along humanitarian lines;
that unbelievable outrages have been
practiced has been so we'll establish
ed that only those who are wilfully
blind for political or personal reas-
ons refuse to see anything wrong
with the school. When the care of
young humans is an issue, politics
should be as far away as the stars
above the earth.
Here is the confession made by
Senator J. D. Sullivan, the st. Cloud
attorney, who as member of the in
vestigating committee, had charge
of examining the witnesses: ....
, Il freely and frankly admit that
when this investigation first began l
felt there was something behind it
that wasn't just right, and was pre-
JUDGED in favor of Mr. Whittier.
Now I am just as frank to say that
l believe great service has been
done the state by the investigation
for believe that reforms will result.
The man whose brain could conceive
such whipping apparatus as the
one provided by Mr.. Whittier is un-
worthy of the position as superin-
tendent of reform institution
These were the words of a demo-
cratic, prejudiced senator on the
floor of the senate.
And yet Mr.. Whittier hangs on
with both teeth and toe nails and
the Board of Control, which must
share in Whittier's shame, remains,
to all appearances, as inactive as a
jellyfish.

WHAT THE HERALD FORGOT.

Persons who have smiled over the
horse trade of David Harum, prob.
ably will find a smoker or two also
in the following from the Bagley
Herald:
The Herald forgot to men,
ton in it's last weeks issue that
John Tuft, of the town of Hoist,
delivered the "a chickens he had
sold to Mr.. Swanson, but what
was Mr.. SIS surprise, upon OPEN
ing the box which contained the
chickens, to find two dead ones
among the rest; and judging
from their appearance these two
chickens had parted with this
life about a month ago or more.
Mr.. S. says the only way he &C
counts for this, is the fact that
Mr.. Tuft being an honest farm
er CD wanted to consumate his
contract according to agreement
and having only % chickens, he
hunted up two dead ones and
threw them into the box, making
the full quota. Moral Always
examine before you buy, or in
other words, look before you
leap.

mention this is the thing which

THE STORY OF LEES SURRENDER
AS A union OFFICER TELLS It

that passed between Grant and Lee
were few
General Grant, endeavoring to apol-
OgiZe for not being fully equipped, and
noticing the faultless appearance Of
Lee, while the secretaries were busy,
said: General Lee, have no sword;
II have been riding all night" And
Lee, with that GOODNESS of manner,
which, after all, became him wonder
fully well, never made any reply, but
in a cold formal manner bowed And
General Grant, in his endeavor to
take away the awkwardness Of the
scene, said: 81 don't always wear
sword, because a sword is a very in
convenient thing" That was re-
markable thing for him to say, consid-
ering that he was in the presence Of
one who was about to surrender his
sword. Lee only bowed again An
other, trying to relieve the awkward,
ness of the occasion, inquired:
General Lee, what became of the
white horse you rode in Mexico? He
might not be dead yet, he was not so
old" General Lee bowed coldly, and
replied; 81 left him at the White
House on the Pamunkey river, and |
have not seen him since" There was
one moment when there was a whis-
pered conversation between Grant and
Lee, which nobody in the room heard
The surrender took the form Of cor
respondence The letters were all
signed in due form by the chief actors,
in the presence of each other. Finally,
when the terms Of the surrender had
all been arranged, cold and proud,
General Lee turned and bowed to ev-
cry person in the room on our side !
remember each one of us thought he
had been specially bowed TO- And then
he went out and passed down the little
square in front Of the house, and be-
strobe that gray horse that carried
him all over Virginia, and when he had
gone away, we learned what that whis-
pered conversation had been about.
General Grant called his officers about
him, and said: You can go to the
Twenty-fourth, and you to the Twenty
fifth" and so on, naming the corps
"and ask every, man who has three
rations to turn over two Of them Go
to the commissaries, and 60 to the
cuartermasters," etc. General Lees
army is on the point of starvation
And $4,000 rations were carried to the
