DEMOCRATS OPEN CAMPAIGN.
Will Fight 10 Garry State of Maine
at the Coming Fall Election.

Portland, Me-, Sept. 3.-The DEM
ocratic fight to win the Maine State
election began in earnest today with
the arrival Of Representative W. C.
Redfield of New York to deliver the
first of a series of speeches to be
made by prominent party leaders
from outside the state. The election
will take place next Monday and
desperate struggle is on between the
Democrats and Republicans to cap
ture the state, which is regarded as
the political pacemaker in presiden-
tial years. In view of the Republican
split the Democrats believe they will
not only be able to re-elect Governor
Plaisted bu-t will also capture the leg
islature and send Senator Gardner
back to Washington for a full term.
They are also confidently expecting
to carry three if not all four of the
con gressional districts. The Repub-
.licans are aiming to keep the state
and national contests separate, but
the Democrats are making one fight
of it in the belief that they have
better chance of capturing the farm
er vote by injecting the tariff and
other national issues into the state
campaign.

TO TRY WIDOW FOR MURDER.
Her Husband, c. 7. Reuter-, Was Kill
ed on NIGHT of Nav 5.

Tulsa, Okla, Sept. appropriations
are about completed for the trial Of
the Reuter- murder case at the term
of the superior court here this month.
The defendants in the case are Mrs.
Laura M. Reuter-, widow of the alleg-
ed victim, and Bud Bellew, Guy D.
Mackenzie and Joe Baker.
The murder of Charles T. Reuter-,
who was well known lawyer, is one
of the most battling mysteries the po-
lice of this city ever have dealt with.
He was killed in his bedroom at his
home on the night of May 5 last. VAL
liable diamonds he wore and large
sum of money were missing. Mrs.
Reuter- was locked in her room across
the hall at the time and her screams
aroused the neighborhood. A tall
man, masked, with a red light dang
ling from & belt, was seen running
from the house.
The next day Mackenzie, Bellew
and Baker were arrested on the theo-
nv that Reuters murder was the re-
suit of a conspiracy, with robbery as
a blind to conceal the real motive.
Not until the preliminary hearing of
the three men began was Mrs. Reuter-
served with & warrant charging her
with being a party to the alleged
conspiracy.

Well Known Farmers Sign Contract
to Till the Soil Under Great
: Northern's Directions.
TO RAISE OATS AND WHEAT
Ray W. Labbitt Makes Short Stay
and Rushes West to-
Shevlin.

To comply with the promise made
by James J. Hill, when he was in Be-
midi last April of selecting three, five
acres tracts of land near this city for
the purpose Of using them as demon
stration plots, Ray w. Labbitt of st.
Paul, spent Monday in the city and
made contracts with three we'll
known farmers for the required plots,
contracts to go into effect at once.
The farms selected for the purpose
will be J. H. French, Even Moe and
L. P. Anderson's, all within a short
distance of Bemidji. On each one of
these places a five acre tract has been
selected to be farmed under the di-
rection of the agents for the Agri-
cultural and Extension Department
Of the Great Northern Railway COM
pany. They are to be used for DEM
onstration plots for the purpose of
agitating better farming. ..-
The plots on the Moe and Ander-
son farms will be planted to oats and
on the J. H. French farm to wheat.
The land is to be titled and cultivat-
ed under the immediate supervision
of the company's experts. sThese
fellows have got to do the farming
right-there'll be no ifs and ands
about it. They must do as we tell
them to or We'll pull up stakes and
move" These were the words utter
ed by J. J. Hill when in Bemidji in
the early spring.
The farmers it is understood, will
furnish the labor and at the end of
the season will receive in addition to
the crops, eight dollars per acre for
having farmed it as per the instruc-
lions of the company. Contracts to
this effect were signed by the above
named farmers yesterday and the
company may send man here to-
start things agoing this fall. .~ss-.
It is believed by land experts that
crop raising can easily be doubled on
Minnesota soil and these demonstra-
tion plots will not only show the con-
tracted farmers what correct farming
will do, but show all farmers tribu-
tary to Bemidji what progress is be-
ing made on these plots. ..----
Last year the Great Northern COM
pany conducted plots of five acres
each on twenty farms in Northwest
ern Minnesota, and the crops on all
Of them were examples of ideal farm
ing, showing what can be accom-
plished on Northern Minnesota soil.
Mr.. Labbitt, who is one of the ag-
ents of the Agricultural and Extern
sion department of the Great North
ern Railway company, came up from
Brainerd Monday morning and left on
the Great Northern west yesterday
afternoon. He will select plots on
farms at Shevlin, Bagley and other
towns on the Great Northern road.

CHILDREN RETURNED HOME
Mrs. G. W. Gates Takes Eleven
n Who Have Been Summered
Near Bemidji. j.
WANT HOMES FOR THE WINTER

-
Mrs. c.. W: Gates, a representative
of the Minneapolis Fresh Rir Fund
and Outing association, spent several
days in Bemidji last week and re-

midi for the summer months.
These children are mostly from
poor families in the city, where the
mother is the wage Garner and has
little if any time to devote to the lit
tie ones, or where the father is
drunkard. The parents in most cas-
es are anxious to place the children
in good homes, where they might as
sist in the household work and dut-
les of the home. The summer heat
of the cities is almost unbearable and
it has been found that the weather in
Northern Minnesota is most advan-
tageous. 49,
In speaking of her work Mrs. Gates
said: eve have number Of children
to place into homes for the winter
months as we'll and would be pleas
ed to hear from any in this vicinity
who would care to take a child for
the coming winter. BY addressing
me at 1872 West Thirty-second street,
Minneapolis, immediate attention will
be given to all requests
Mrs. Gates also stated that Bemid-
il has done much for the poor fam
lilies during the past summer and that
the Association feels very grateful for
the assistance rendered. .>.@

Why Sh0uldIUSe
CutiCur Soap?

"There is nothing the matter
with my skin, and I thought
Cuticura Soap was only for skin
troubles" True, it is for skin
troubles, but its great mission is
to brroent skin troubles. For
more than generation its deli
cate emollient and prophylactic
properties have rendered it the
standard for this purpose, while
its extreme parity and refreshing
fragrance give to it all the advan-
tages Of the, best of toilet soaps.
It is, also invaluable in keeping
the hands soft and white, the hair
live and glossy, and the scalp
free from dandruf and irritation.
While its first cost is few cents
more than that of ordinary toilet
soaps, it is prepared with such care
ard Of such materials, thatit wears
tea wafer, often outlasting several
cakes of\otheT soap and making
its use, in practice, most econom-
zeal. Cutie@ra Soap is sold by
druggists and dealers everywhere,
but the truth of these claims may
be demonstrated without cost BY,
