Astonished Husband.

De Wolfe Hopper tells good story
about the domestic unhappiness of an
other actor. The hero of the joke was
a man who had married because the
woman had much money, although no
beauty. Naturally, after the wedding
ceremony and the acquisition of the
brides financial resources, the hus-
band was never very attentive to her.
Another member Of the company in
which the couple were appearing was.
however, far more appreciative Of the
lady's charms, and proceeded to make
love to her in an ardent but stealthy
manner. The grand finale came one
evening when the actor discovered
the other man kissing his wife. The
fond lover stood petrified with fear,
and expected to be shot down the
next moment.
No such thing happened. The out
ragged husband only lifted his hands
toward the ceiling with gesture OF
intense surprise, and exclaimed:
"Merciful heavens! And he didn't
even have to-"

4 DISTRICTS COMBINE
Red River Valley Provides Fortieth
Consolidated School.

Crookston.-The first school con-
solidation ever effected in Polk coun-
ty was carried by vote of SO to %
at Eldred when the voters in school
districts Al and $50 in Roome, 68 in
Andover and 254 in Vineland held an
election. The only opposition came
from some residents who would have
over five miles to send their children,
and from some who thought it was a
movement for the benefit of Eldred.
The combined enrolment is over
100 and it is proposed to erect four
room modern school building, in which
agriculture and domestic science will
receive attention. The next step will
be to hold an election to vote on a
bond issue. The progressive farmers
are in favor of the idea because of the
additional educational facilities that
will be afforded. This is the fortieth
consolidated school in Minnesota
since the enactment of the Holmberg
act of 1911.

Fargo, March 30.-The returns in

Senator Gronna, acquainted with the

any sensational incidents. The wealth

MURDER At BEM|DJ|
PAUL FouRNiER FATALLY SHOT
BY GEORGE cYR AT ouIRlNG,
MINNESOTA.
ECHO OF DAHL MURDER
Dead Man Attacked Latter and Wife
With DIrk-Deceased Tried
Three Times for Dual
Homicide.

Bemidji, Minn.-Paul Fournier
noted as having been convicted of the
charge of killing N. o. Dahl, near
Curing, in this county, in the spring
OF 1907, who began serving life
sentence for the crime and was after
wards found not guilty by jury at a
new trial. was shot and instantly killed
at Quiring, by his cousin, George Cyr,
who voluntarily surrendered to John
Morrison, Jr., deputy sheriff at Red
Lake agency.
Cyr was brought to Bemidji and
his case will be at once taken before
the grand jury now in session and
should an indictment be returned, the
trial will probably be held at this term
of court. When he was found not
guilty Of the crime of killing Aagot
Dahl, daughter of N. o. Dahl, and was
released from custody, Fournier re-
turned to the scene of the Dahl MUIR
ders and has been residing with Cyr
and his wife. Cyr claims that Four
nier became enraged and rushed at
Cyr's wife, flourishing dirk and say
ing that he had killed two in the
woods at Quiring and would kill two
more.
Cyr grabbed a gun that was hang
ing On the wall and shot Fournier,
killing him instantly. Cyr then walk
ed to Redby, several miles distant,
and gave himself up to the authori-
ties.
The killing of N. o. Dahl, over two
years ago, and his daughter, Aagot,
were the most brutal and cold blood
ed crimes in the history of Beltrami
county, and when Fournier and
Shorty Wesley (now serving life
term in the Saltwater penitentiary)
were tried for the crimes, sentiment
ran high against both men. When their
cases were given to the jury, YER
each case. Fournier and Wesley were
sentenced to life Imprisonment. Four
nier was given a new trial on the
grounds of admission of improper evi-
dence, and alleged misconduct of the
county attorney. Juries at Brainerd
guilty against Fournier.
No effort was ever made to get a
new trial for Wesley, although the
pardon board now has an application
for paroling him. Cyr, who killed
Fournier, was at once arrested in COM
pany with Fournier on the joint
charge of having killed the Dahls but
was subsequently released, there be-
ing lack of evidence connecting him
directly with the murders.
Much interest is being taken in the
tragedy, as it is believed that the kill
ing of Fournier will result in clearing
up, some of the mysterious angles of
the Dahl cases which have never been
solved. No one has ever been found
who could be directly connected with
the actual Staying of the old man and
his daughter.

SEEK AIR AND GET SPEAR
Fish Easily Taken In Many Lakes
Owing to Weather Conditions.

st. Cloud.-Luther Blood, a farmer
at Lake Julia, is less than two hours
speared twenty-five pickerel, ranging
in weight from five to nineteen and
one-half pounds.
There is a spring creek running into
the lake, and the fish swarm up this in
SO great numbers that they literally
pack the small stream. 1t was an
easy trick to pick out the big fish with
a spear. Mr.. Blood examined the edge
of the lake and saw many dead fish
under the ice. He said there must
have been at least a ton of the dead
ones in space no larger than city
block. The cause of death is want of
air. The long cold weather had
formed ice of unusual thickness seal
ing up all the air holes.

ROBBER SURRENDERS
Samuel L. Copeland, Converted, Would
Become Prisoner.

Fergus Falls.-Samuel L. Copeland,
confessed bank and train robber, who
was converted at Gypsy Smith meet
ing at Los Angeles, arrived from that
city to surrender himself to officers
here and take whatever punishment
might be in store for him.
Copeland says he held up a North
ern Pacific train between Perham and
Wadena and robbed passengers in the
sleeping car. George Lyons was con-
victed of the crime and ended his
life in the county Jail here. Copeland
at about the same time was sent to
prison from Moorhead for robbing a
bank there and served a five-year SEN
tence. The county attorney doubts If
anything can be done with him for
the train robbery at this time on ac-
count of the statute of limitations. He
has asked him to remain until the
matter can be investigated.

HARD TO DROP

coffee:
ut was hard to drop Mocha and

nerves were so shattered that I was,

caused it and gave it up, but my con-
dition remained unchanged. I did not
want to acknowledge coffee caused the,
trouble for was very fond of it.
about that time a friend came to
live with us, and / noticed that after
he had been with us a week he would
not drink his coffee any more. I asked
him the reason. He replied, I have
not had headache since 1 left Off
drinking coffee, some months ago, till
last week, when began again, here at
your table. / don't see how anyone
can like coffee, anyway. after drink
ing Postum!
Il said nothing, but n once ordered
a package of Postum. THAT was five
months ago, and we have drank no
coffee since, except on two occasions
when we had company, and the result
each time was that my husband could
not sleep, but lay awake and tossed
and talked half the night. We were-
convinced that coffee caused his suf-
fering, so we returned to Postum, con-
vinced that the coffee was an enemy,
instead OF friend, and he is troubled
no more by insomnia.
Il, myself, have gained pounds in
weight, and my nerves have ceased to-
culver. 1t seems SO easy now to quit
the old coffee that caused our aches
and ills and take up Postum" Name,

tions were being held throughout the
state and these indicate that the
Democrats were kept busy among
themselves. In spite of that many
Democrats undoubtedly voted for La
Toilette, but not enough to materially
affect the result.
The strength of the Lo Toilette vote
is surprise to the LoF gillette sup
porters themselves. They had expect
ed strength in the eastern part of the
state but We're prepared for a heavy
loss on the slope district where Roose-
welt formerly lived.
La Toilette had carried Billings
county, Se former home of Colonel
Roosevelt and lost Medora, Roose-
velt's home Ntown, by only z votes.
The early returns indicate that La
Toilette has won in the second dis
trict in which George NJ Young of
Valley City is a candidate for con-
gress. This district was the one in
vaded first by Senator La Toilette
in his speaking tour When Theodore
Roosevelts name was first suggested,
the second seemed to be in line for
Roosevelt. Geo. M. Young was said to
be the only man in Valley City for
La Toilette. Mr.. Young stated that
the second district would give La
Toilette a majority of 5000.
A telegram of congratulation was
sent to Senator La Toilette from
Fargo upon his success in carrying
the state. Another telegram was sent
to l.. B. Hanna, stalwart candidate
for governor, which contained the
grim word Next" The result of
presidential contest is likely to have
a serious result on the state fight that
is still to come. Congressman Hanna,
who is the stalwart candidate for gov
ernor, took up the Roosevelt boom as
a probable winner
