In Bemidji to Stay.

Miles this morning in regard to
selling his large interests here,
he said: "There is only one spot
on earth for me and that is Be
midji. I haven't the slightest
idea of selling any of my prop
erty here, and propose to make
this town my home. I will leave
for Chicago Friday morning,
where I will stay until I can se
cure a competent man to take
charge of my business there, and
as soon as that is done I will re
turn. There isn't any prospect of
getting the novelty works here
now, as the new partners want to
hold it in Chicago, where they
will not have to carry as large a
stock of raw material, and where
any kind of material can be pur
chased at a moment's notice.
Still, it isn't my intention to leave
this town, not for a moment."

PROCLAMATION.
To the soldier, living and dead,
our nation owes.its life. To him
we are indebted for all the bless
ings we enjoy in our model re
public: his unselfish sacrifices
and devotion to the cause of lib
erty are unprecedented in the
history of warfare. We cannot
too highly honor the living, or too
sacredly revere the memory of
the dead. Realizing this, the
state and the nation have by wise
legislation designated an annual
memorial day. On this day let
us show our love and gratitude
to the American soldier. Let us
deck with the choicest floral
offerings the graves of our patriot
dead. Let us extend to the living
heroes the nation's love, and let
us renew our fealty to the cause
of liberty and reconsecrate our
selves to the institutions of our
country which these men fought
and died to save. Let us, then,
observe as a legal holiday, Satur
day, May 30, 1903.
I would suggest that flags be
placed at half mast, and that all
factories, mills, stores, mercan
tile houses and offices be closed,
and all business be suspended,
that the day may be most sacredly
observed in every city, village
and hamlet in Minnesota.
Given under my hand and seal
of the state, at the capitol, in the
city of St. Paul, this 12th day of
May, A. D. 1903.

A Big Haul.
Andy Lysacker and J. Vogler

Lake Irvine in about three hours
yesterday. The catch weighed
210 pounds, and is the largest
one made by a single party here
this season. Andy never conies
back empty handedunlike Mr.
Welsh, who went out this morn
ing with his brother and caught
a pike that tipped the scales at
just three-quarts of a pound.
Building Boom.
Bemidji is certainly to the fore
in the building line. Architect
Bert Keck was a passenger from
there this morning where he goes
to complete arrangements for a
new brick block that is to be
erected at that point by W, F.
Street. It is to be built across
from the Markham on the corner
now occupied by a photograph
gallery, and is to be 36x74 feet,
two stories and basement. The
lower floor of the building will be
occupied by a shoe store, and the
upper floor by the photograph

THE NIGHT SHIFT
Crookston Lumber Co. Start
the Xight Shift of Their Mill
Last Xight.
Output of Lumber Exceeds That
of Any Mill in the State by
Several Thousand Feet.
The Crookston Lumber Co. put
on a night shift in their new mill
last night, and for the rest of the!
season will. run ifight aud kty.
The managoment of the milt are
certainly hustlers, and deserve'
much credit for the efneiont
manner in which they are hand-1
ling this big concern. From now
on there will be a steady stream
of lumber coming from the mill
night and day, and it is now an
assured fact that the output will
greatly exceed that of any'mill in
the state.
A view of the mill in operation
from the gallery at night is an
inspiring sight. None but the
latest and most up-to-date ma
chinery is used, and all hand
work has been eliminated.
The men employed are all
thorough workmen, and so far
the mill has been running with
out a flaw and scarcely an acci
dent. The mill is at the present
time Bemidji's largest enter
prise, and the people of the city
made no mistake when they made
overtures to the company to lo
cate their mill at this point.
Jaoe Found In Oregon.
"Jade, the sacred and rare stone
used by the Chinese in making brace
lets, rings, vases, etc., has been found
recently in large quantities in the
state of Oregon," said S. T. Taliaferro
of Portland to a Star man at the Ar
lington this morning. "The discov
ery is considered quite an important
one from a mineral as well as a com
mercial standpoint. This find is said
by geologists to be the first of the
kind in the United States. The Ore
gon jade is tough and compact and
varies in coior from a pure white to a
dark green. The bulk of the supply
heretofore used has come from Turke
stan, but some little ...as been found
in New Zealand and in the islands of
the Pacific."Washington Star.
Did Not Mean Disapproval.
In an Iowa law court au attorney
was arguing with great earnestness
and eloquence. In the midst of hia
argument he paused a moment, ac
cording to the Green Bag, and said:
"I see your honor shakes his head at
that statement. I desire to reaffirm
it, although your honor dissents." "I
have not intimated," replied the
judge, "how I should construe the
evidence of what my decision will
be in the case, and your remark is
uncalled fofT'C" "You shook your
head." "That may be true," the
court replied. "There was a fly on
my ear, and I reserved the right to
remove it in any manner I saw fit
Proceed with your argument."
ENGAGE IN FIERCE FiGHT,
Three Men Are Shot and Probibl/
Will Die.
Muskogee, May 19.Trainmen com
ing in from Westville tell a story of a
fierce fight at that place. Three men
were shot and probably will die. The
men who did the shooting went into
a railroad yard and forced and engi
neer and brakeman to cut their engine
loose from a local westbound passen
ger train. They climbed on and start
ed to run the engine out of the town
and into the brakes of the Ozark
mountains along the track twenty
miles from this city. Officers and
citizens intercepted them at a cut on
the Pittsburg & Gulf, however, and
ca'V. ured them.

"Faithful" Service Rewarded.
The late Judge Smyth, so much bet
ter known as '"the Recorder,' used to
have a reminiscence of another law
yer who now enjoys much distinction
at the bar and for a time rejoiced In
judicial honors, but who was at the
time the managing clerk of a law of
fice on the same corridor with that of
the future recorder.
'I met him in the hail one day,"
said the old judge, "and he was evi
dentl rery much agitated. I Inquired
the nature of his trouble. Almost
weeping, he answered: 'I have been
discharged, r/^iacharged without a word
of explanation, after five years of
faithful service, it is very hard.' And
then he quite gave way. and added, in
tears: 'And you know. Mr. Smyth
you know what affidavits I have mad*
for that man.'
Mr. Urown'i Wild Klde on a Shovcn.
C. Henry Brown, O years old. of
Ileltt, Ohio, was persuaded by friends
to go coasting. The old man procured
a scoop shovel and said b* preferred
to ride on that instead of a sled. He
started down a steep incline and rode
for half a mile. When the bottom
of the hill was reached Brown ran Into
a stone wall. He was rendered uncon
scious and lay In the snow for six
hours. He was finally picked up and
taken to his home, inhere he is in a
critical condition. The track Brown
rode on is almost straight up and
uown, and composed of solid ice.

Prevents Sounc! and Smoke.
A device for suppressing sound and
smoke has been provided for the ordi
nary rifle by a French soldier. It con
sists essentially of a s'.eei tube-about
thirty Inches long, with several parti5
tlons having orifices slightly larger
than the bore of a gun, and this tube
is attached in the front of the muzzle
of a bayonet clasp whenever its use
is desired. On firing the gun the
gases are retarded by each partition
in turn, finally escaping without sound
or smoke, With a knife at the end the
auxiliary tube can be made to serve
as a bayonet,
