CONFLICT IMMINENT| OFE United States Preparing For Struggle With. Flowery Kingdom, LOCAL ARMY OFFICE RECEIVES ORDERS. Men Enlisted in Bemidji Will Be Trained as Gunners For Coast Defense. One of the very good indica- tions that a war between the United States and China is im- minent is an order from the war department received by the local army recruiting office today di- recting the local station to enlist men for the artillery,the recruits to be sent to Forts Flagler,Casey and Warden in Washington, and Forts Columbia and Stevens in Oregon. All the new recruits received at these forts will be trained as gunners and will be stationed at the coast defenses throughout the United States and in the island possessions, AnothLer indication that a con- flict is expected is the. establish- ing of fortifications at Cavite, Corrigador island and Honolulu, where it is expected that many of the recruits, after they have been trained at the forts to which they are shipped from the re- cruiting offices throughout the country, will be sent. The prospect for a war with the flowery kingdom will un- doubtedly result in a rush at the recruiting offices. Notice To Clean Up. Health Officer W. R. Morrison is today posting notices through- out the city directing the resi- dents to clean up all refuse, etc., ! as soon as possible. Unless the notice is complied with the healti board will take charge of the matter and the cost of .cleaning up will be assessed against the property owners. | Laborer Secures $10,000 Legacy.

The town of68-23 will be opened for homestead settlement on Tuesday March 27 pext, begin- ning at 9 o’clocka. m. This is the last of the towns in the Big Fork country to be opened by the government. There are at present about 50 settlers in the town, and these, it is expected, will all make application for the land which they now occupy. Many of the applications for filings will doubtless be made before the United States land commissioner at International Falls, a few days before the date of opening, and these will be sent to the Duluth land receiver’s office where they will become effective. There are from 80 to 100 good agricultural claims of 160 acres each in the town, aside from that portion of the town which will go to the state for school purposes. Filings of those settlers now on the land in the town will take precedence over all others, and the time they have spent on their farms, improving and till- ing them, will be placed to their credit by the government, so that they will not have to re- main on their claims as others to obtain full title. Some of them have already been on their land the required length of time and will come into full possession of their claims at once. Will Give Food Sale. A food sale will be given at the Grill hall Saturday commencing at 2 o’clock by the ladies’ of the Episcopal church.

AN AWFUL SCROFUL INHERITANCE While it is true that Scrofula may be acquired under certain conditions, it is usually inherited. Parents who are related by the ties of blood, or who have a-consumptive tendency, or family blood taint of any character, are sure to transmit it to their children in the form of Scrofula. Swollen glands, brittle bones, poor digestion, weak eyes, Catarrh, emaciated bodies and general weak constitutions are the principal ways in which the dis- ease is manifested. The blood has been diseased from birth, and being in this condition cannot properly nour- ish the body and Scrofula is the re- sult.

The bill when com- pleted will provide for the repeal of the act in its entirety, and es- tablish in its place a system of leasing, and instead of allowing timber and stone land to be en- itered in tracts of 160 acres as now the right to cut the timber will be leased to the highest bid- der, and land valuable for stone will be opened to entry as quar- ries in tracts.not to exdeed forty acres in area. This latter feature of the bill is at the suggestion of Senator Smoot of Utah, and he has drafted a provision along this line which will be incorporated in the bill. Another important feature of the bill will be that of allowing the counties'in which the land is located a certain percentage of the amount derived from the sale of the timber. The senate committee will in- troduce this bill as a com mittee bill and then immediately report it, and it will probably pass the senate. In the house committee on public lands it will encounter considerable opposition, and 1t is likely to be considered at some length. Representative French of Idaho is opposed to the propo- sition of the repeal of the act,and it is known that other members are not friendly to it, but if it can be brought out of committee and presented to the house for a vote it is thought it would pass. The act was passed June 3, 1878, and provided only for the sale of tim- ber and stone land in California, Oregon, Nevada and Wisconsin, but an act of Aug. 4, 1902, ex- tended its provisions to all public land states. From the passage of the act to date pearly a million acres of timber land have been patented, and there are about 8,000 claims for more than a million and a half acres pending. Married Yesterday. Andrew Olson and Miss Hannah Knutson were married yesterday by Rev. E.
