{ ¢ . bresident; Mrs. Andrew War- NIGHT DRESS FOR ROPE Colored Woman With Delir- ium Tremens Lets Her- self Through Window. WAS TRYING TO ESCAPE FROM IMAGINARY FOE. Appeared in Police Court This Morning and Gets Fine of Ten Dollars. Clara Adams, a colored woman who has lived in rooms over a block in the down town district of the city, was arrested last night by the police, and when found was hanging by her night dress out of a second story win- dow of the building, shouting for some one to save her from an imaginary foe whom she thought was pursuing her. The woman was found to have been addicted to the liguor habit and last night was taken with delirium tremens. It seems that she hadimbibed too freely in the flowing bowl yesterday, and by nightfall had accumulated a fair sized jag which resulted in unbalancing her mind. She was on the eve of retiring when seized with the fit, and when the officers took her in hand had on but scanty raiments and was hanging from the window, using her night dress for a rope. She was taken to the police station, where she remained dur- ing the night and appeared in police court this morning some- what sobered and plead guilty to the charge of drunkenness. Judge Reynolds imposed a fine of ten dollars, which it said she will secure. MUSICAL CLUB Organization of the Thursday Completed—Election of Officers. Thursday afternoon at the residence of Mrs. R. B. Foster, the organization of the Thursday Musical club was completed and preparations were made for an active winter. The club now en- rolls eighteen members and will doubtless be an important factor in the life of the city this winter, its members all being enthusias- tic musicians. The officers elected are Mrs. R. B. Foster, field, vice president; Miss Hald- erman, secretary; Mrs. French, librarian; Miss Rose Dickinson, treasurer. The Misses Boyer and Dickinson rendered a num ber of piano selections and Mrs Foster served light refreshment. The members of the club feel that a most auspicious beginning has been made for the season’s work. The next meeting of the club will be held with Mrs. Fos- ter Monday September 12. NO CROP * FAILURE Wheat Fields of the North West Are Yielding The Usual Crops. REPORTS FROM ALL SECTIONS ARE FAVORABLE. From Fifteen to Twenty Bushels Per Acre Is the Yield Thus Far. For the past month or six weeks direful rumors of an en- tire failare of the wheat crop haye been in circulation, but the first of the threshing shows that the damage which has been done by rust and drought have been over estimated. The average yield will be between fifteen and twenty bushels. Telegrams to the Minneapolis Tribune last ev- ening on the situation are as follows: Delano, Minnesota., Sept. 2 —— Thrashing is well under way and wheat is turning out well, and is of good quality. Willmar, Minn., Sept. 2.— Whéat on the Ferring farm, just east, yielded twenty-three bush- els to the acre and graded No. 2 Northern. Jamestown, N. D., Sept. 2-—1Lhe end of the peninsula and the There will be a good general yield of wheat througout the en- tire country, and the grade1s so far not bad. There have as yet been no indications of frost, though the weather has been cloudy and cool, with slight, misty rains the past day or two. Grand Forks, N. D., Sept. 2.— Prof. M. L. Bolley of the agricul- tural college, Fargo, in an inter- view here, estimated the wheat yield of North Dakota at nine to twelve bushels to the acre on the total acreage. Prof. Bolley has visited almost every section of the state, and has inspected more wheat, probably, than any of the experts who have visited the state. FINISHED Preliminary Survey of Red Lake Railroad Was Finished Yesterday. The surveying erew which has been working on running a pre- liminary survey from Buena Vista to Bemidji completed its work Thursday and came to this city yesterday. The line is re- ported as being very good and it is said that the company will no doubt accept the survey. M. D, Stoner left this morning for Minneapolis to confer with the officials of the company regard- ing the survey, and he expressed himself as having high hopes of ! ABJECT POVERTY That Is the—N—ormal Condi- tion of the Noble Red Man Declares Major Scott. INTERVIEW WITH OLD TIME FIGHTER OF APACHES. Wants to Import 100 Apache Warriors for Educative Pur- poses at Walker. A fevr days since a representa- tive of the Pioneer paid a visit to vhe beautifnl Leech Lake Indian agency at Walser and enjoyed a brief call on Major Scott, the hero of many tights with the wild Apache and the man. who has made a record for efficiency as agent at Leech Lake unexcelled by any Indian agent in the United States. : By boat across from” Walker one may land at the Leech Lake agency within a few minutes but the peninsula upon which the agency buildings are situated is long, narrow and so given over to every possible vagary of curve that you may walk all day if you are resolved to essay the trip on foot. The agency buildings, school house, chapel, offices, saw mill, store, warehouses and resi- dences are scattered thickly over spot is one of exceeding beauty. On the brow of a small prom- ontory threatening the lake stands the comfortable modern home of the agent commanding a beautiful view across the bay. Here Major Scott is monarch of all he surveys and here he re ceived us. Questioned eoncern- ing the condition of the Indian in geneval the Major declared, “The normal condition of the Indian is abject poverty. Should he hap- pen to get a little store of money he straightway becomes restless and uneasy, disatisfied and un- happy. He gets rid of his money with all possible dispatch and when it is gone, when he does 1not know where his dinner is |to come from, he can sit in the snn, dig up a grievance against the government and be su- premely unhappy.” “What do they do with their money, Major,” we asked as he told of an Indian woman who rid | herself of $500 in one week, “Do with it,” the Major replied “Do with it. Why an Indian never does anything with his money but get drunk with it. Male or female the first act of an Indian with his money is to get drunk.”” Major Scott is very bitter st the white man who per- E n selling liquor to the In- dians “These Indians ale a harmless los when drunk,” said he’ “but a drunken Apache is a very devil. Say, I would just like to import a hundred Apaches and turn ’em loose in Walker. They would get whiskey of course. ag securing the terminus of the| road for Bemidji. They always do, but there would not be enough left of Walker the PRINCESS Grocery Co. M. E.

No more Leech Lake uprising will there be while Major Seott is agent; the Indians have learned thathe isall too ready fora fight and a good many white men have learned the same to their sorrow, PLAY TOMORROW Big Duluth Team Will Arrive in the City Tonight For Games With Locals. The two games of base ball to be played here Sunday and Mon- day promise to be the most inter- esting ever played in the city, and local fans are worked up to a high pitch in anticipation of the events. Both teams claim the championship of Northern Min- nesota, and there is mno doubt but that the playing will be for blood. The lineup of the Be- midji team will remain the same as last Sunday and Jackson will umpire. With the exception of perhaps one or two games these will be the last played here dur- ing the present season, and those who like to see a good game of base ball should not miss the chance, “NEWSY” NO MORE H.

Chickens Wild. Yesterday, the first day of the open season for prairie chickens was quite disappointing to the sportsmen of the valley. The birds are wild and few in a covey. The slanghter of the game has evidently been in progress for a number of weeks, if reports brought in from country are to be relied upon. The kills did not exceed eight or ten birds per man except in one or two in- stances.—Crookston Times. Has Sold a Pile of Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy.
