Kernple Gettin' Up
Among the Big Ones

r. L. Kemple in the
state, almost, knows Prof. Kemple-
jeslIecially the boys and girls who
went to the Watertown high school
during the time that Mr.. Kemple had
charge of the schools in this city
several years ago-is a man who does
mits. AT one time he thought he
couldn't do anything but teach school
but he has discovered that ne is q
full hand" no matter where he is
put.
He has the size. the physique, the
brain, the alert eye, the quick wit
and ever ready tongue. When this
man Kemple talks yon sit up and
take notioe--he's got the force, the
speed, the magnetic poWerf5 to make
himself heard. Kemple is a fine
specimen of manhood physically,
large, active and as strong as yoke
of oxen. He is a splendid athlete
a wrestler and a good boxer. If he
had gone into the pugilistic game he
no doubt would be occupying the
heavyweight pugilistic throne-bnt
his mind did not run in those channels
The wanted education and he got it..
When he quit teaching school he
did not know that he could lecture.
He got an opening and he "butted"
right into the game and today is way
up among the top notchers in the
lecturing line. Made money! He has
made more money in the past few
years than some of our Codington
county farmers have got hay.
They tell a little story on Kemple
which listens pretty good
Kemple was travelling through the
country in his auto. The machine
broke down and he pulled into lit
tie town where there was an old man
and his bly, running a blacksmith shop
and repairing autos. The old man
and the boy worked for about three
Hours on the car and when they
were through Kemple asked in his
usual abrupt voice:
''How much is it?"
'Two seventy-fiVe,,' answered the
old man meekly
"What?" said Kemple in laundering
tones which made the old mans hair
stand on end.
81 said--I said-one dollar" said
the blacksmith. #
Now look here, old man. said
Kemple. "you and your son have
worked hard for three hours in the
hot sun fixing this machine and you
cannot afford to do all that work for
one dollar--here are three dollars" I"
The old blacksmith had recovered
his equilibrium sufficiently by this
time to thank Kemple as he jumped
into his car, and away he went down
the road at about forty miles an
hour. III.
A couple of years ago Kemple at.
tended wrestling match in Water
town. Some young fellow came here
from Indiana purporting to be the
champion heavyweight wrestler of
that state. Kemple suspected that
the fellow was a fake and thought he
would try him out He went to the
hall that night where. the wrestling
match was to take place and when the
principals were introduced to the
audience, Kemple arose in the aud
ience and offered to wrestle either oi
the men at catch weights right then
and there. The alleged champion ol
indiana took the bIuff and refused t.

Another Marin Case.

John Mcdonald, bar tender in
Dick Jones saloon in Deer River, was
shot and killed Tuesday by an un-
known Finnish lumberjack. The
press reports say that on Monday the
Finn went into the saloon and left
some money in the care of the pro-
prietor. Tuesday he called for his
money and was handed ten dollars
which the proprietor said was all that
was due him.
The Finn left the saloon and did
not return until Tuesday afternoon
when he walked in and shot McDon-
aid. 1t is believed in Deer River that
he intended to kill Jones and made al
mistake in his man. Mcdonald was
one of the best known bar tenders
between Deer River and Duluth hay
ing tended bar in several of the towns
On the Great Northern line. I
The shooting in Grand Rapids was
practically a repetition of the Marin
killing in Bemidji february /. Au-
gust Johnson, the man who killed
Marin, is now in Saltwater. The
Finn will probably follow him there.
But the. fact remains that two lives
have been lost and both because of
money left with saloon menn by lum-
berjacks. Not until the men learn to
keep their money themselves and un-
til the proprietors OF saloons refuse
to- keep it for them and accept the
subsequent risk will such cases as |
these pass from the history Of Nor
thern Minnesota.
Incidentally, Judge Stanton will
probably. try the Finn as he tried
Johnson. L. p.

The Nelson Bill.

The Nelson bill was reported out
of the senate temperance committee
today. Senator Putnam, chairman of
the committee, said over the phone
yesterday that he believed the bill
would pass the senate but would not
pass the house,
1t is this bill which the people OF
Bemidji believe will relieve the peo-
pie Of Bemidj and many other Min
nesota towns of an overplus of sa-
looms. The bill provides that the
ratio shall not be more than one to
500. In Bemidji at present, the ratio
is thirty-four to 5000. While the
council has moved to cut the number
down to seventeen, the Nelson bill
would cut the number to eleven.
If the people of Bemidji want the
Nelson bill passed. they should leave
no stone unturned to secure that end.
They should write not only to Sena-
tor Nelson and Representative O'Neill
but to every other senator or repre-
sentative with whom they are &C
quainted. Should this bill fail of
passage and the council decide not to
there will be no relief for Bemidji
this year.
