Bemidji today has the honor of entertaining more than fifty sheriffs of the various counties of Minnesota —men who have come to this north country from different parts of the state for the expressed purpose of attending the semi-annual meeting of the State Sheriff’s association. However, many of them, no doubt, have heard of our vaunted attrac- tions as an ideal place for summer visitors, and also have heard men- tioned our unrivaled brand of hos- pitality. By the very nature of their office, these gentlemen are shrewd observ- ers, and while they may say nothing whatever while here as to their inner thoughts of conditions that prevail in our city, the impressions which they will form may have much to do with the reputation that Bemidji will enjoy abroad in the state here- after as to being a progressive, hos- pitable city. Let every resident of this city, irrespective of the station that he may occupy, join in extending a hearty welcome to the visiting officials and assist in making their stay among us an enjoyable one to every member of the party. A rather amusing story is going the rounds of the press about a certain man who went in a hard- ware store in Starbuck and asked to purchase an axe. Being shown the article and being told the price was $1.15 he said, “Why I can get the same article in Chicago for 90 cents.” The hardware man said, “All right T will give it to you for the same price provided you will do the same with me as you would do with them.” The customer agreed with alacrity thinking he had made quite a bar- gain. He handed him a dollar bill and the dealer promptly handed him back the ten cents change. ‘Now,” said the dealer, “I want 25 cents more to pay _the express charges.” This also the customer gave him. “How much did your ax cost you?” “1.15” answered the purchaser. “Very good, now give me 5 cents more for the money order fee and postage,” which the customer was obliged to hand over. “Now how much did your ax cost you?”” “‘$1.20,” said the customer as he reached for his purchase. ““Oh no not yet,” said the dealer as he tossed the ax back on the shelf, call for it in ten days. That will be as soon as you can get it fron Chi- cago and we’re doing business on Chicago terms you know. Here’s a sentiment from James J. Hill: ‘“The forest falls, the mine is depleted of its precious contents— even the seas might, if searched too severely, cease to give tribute, but the soil is the last unfailing resource. Play games as we'may with picture cards adorned with our names, the man at the bottom; the man with his foot on a plot of ground; the man who is drawing from the earth the food for himself and others, is the foundation for all advancement as well as all prosperity.” OBSERVATIONS. Ealling in love is almost as easy as falling out again. Professional pugilists carry their fortunes in their fists. Time may be money—except when a man tries to pay his debts with it. One kind of mean man is the fellow who makes out capital of calamity. To the tramp every man looks like an enemy—except another tramp. The bleached blond’s method of keeping her hair light isa dark secret. ‘Woman’s sphere isn’t as large as it used to be before the hoopskirt went out. Anyway the man who has no friends doesn’t have to worry about loosing them. ‘The worst thing about wo-rk is that some men do too much and CALLS IT SANCTIFIED GRAFT Dean of Theologlcal 8ohoo! Says Cap- Italiste Control Church, Chautauqua, N. Y, Aug. 1\.—Cap- italists control tho modern church and the church's influence ia for cap- ital agalust labnr, sald Shailer Math- ews of the University of Chicago ai- vinity school in an address at Chau- tauqua assembly. Deterloration in the ministry, the fcan also asserted, follows upon the subsidizing of theological students in schools and the sooner this and other forms of “sanctified graft” are olim- inated the better it will be for the church. “The church is composed of the capitalistic class or sympathizers with the capitalistic class,” sald Dean Mathews. “It can influence largely, therefore, the source of legislatlon. “The devotion of ill gotten wealth to spiritna) ends is undoubtedly a just soolal restitution, but it is the rankest hypoorisy if it be not accompanied by an abandonment of {llegitimate methods of producing wealth. It is one thing for a repentant thief to con- tribute his plunder to a human well- being and it is quite another thing for a thief to steal In order that he may be charitable.” MARKET CONTINUES WILD Violent Fluctuations on the New York Stock Exchange. New York, Aug. 1 .—Prices of prac- tlcally all active stocks orumbled away immediately upon the opening of the stock market under the pressure of the selling movement which began last week. A violent decline of from 2 to 3 points per share on these stocks was_shown by the first quotations. The Pacific group of stocks were the greatest sufferers, Northern Pacific selling off 5 points within a few min- utes after the opening, while losses of 3 or more points were scored in Canadian Pacific, Union Pacific and Missour! Pacific. Other heavy losers were Baltimore and Ohio, Louisville and Nashville and Southern Pacific. Some of the industrial stocks also felt the selling movement severely, and losses of 2 to 4 points per share were shown ea.ly by Anaconda, Con- solidated Gas, American Smelting and Colorado Fuel. N The chief feature of the first trad- ing was Reading, which opened with a sale of 20,000 shares at 80 to 89, or a maximum loss of 2% points. At the end of the first half hour the market became more steady and some of the stocks which had shown the heaviest declines recovered 1 to 8 points. The market, however, contin- ued feverishly active. After considerable reverses in the first hour, in which declines for North- ern Pacific, Union Pacific and Ana- conda Copper regained a large part of the early loss, prices fell back under selling by speculators who had bought during the morning decline and were taking profits on the subsequent re- covery. Tradlng, however was not active and the market became quiet and steady. The demoralization of the opening was generally attributed to weakness of American stocks in London. In the final hqur there was another violent hear attack which carried prices to the lowest level of the day. Especial points of weakness were Union Pacific, Reading, Smelting, Amalgamated and the local traction stocks. On short covering the mar- ket rallled and the closing, though foverish, was fairly well maintalned. Berlin Bourse Affected. Berlin, Aug. 1.—Prices in all de- partments on the bourse were weak at the opening. Americans were de- pressed upon the New York and Lon- don advices, The general tone be- came steadier later, but agaln weak- ened upon the rise in the private dis- count rate. Affected by Moroccan Sltuation. Paris, Aug. 1).—All domestic stocks were heavy on the bourse in conse- quence of the weakness of the foreign markets and the situation in Morocco. Russian imperial fours were not quot- ed. Russtan bonds of 1904 closed at 502. LEGAL ACTION TO FOLLOW Report on the Pennsylvania Capitol Graft Ready for Submlssion, Philadelphia, Aug. 1)—The legisla- tive commission which has been in- vestigating the charges of fraud in connection with the furnishing of Pennsylvania’s new $13,000,000 cap- Itol will present its report to Governor Stuart Friday. While all the commissioners have been pledged to absolute secrecy re- sarding. the report it is known that the attorney general of Pennsylvania will institute both criminal and civil sults against those who have been shown to have shared in the illegal profits. The report, it 1s understood, contains no specific recommendations, but evidence of criminal intent is so plainly pointed out by the commission that it leaves the state authorities no other alternative than to proceed against the persons named. FIFTY PERSONS INJURED. Great Damage Done by Rioters at Bel- fast, Ireland. Belfast, Ireland, Aug. 13.—The wrecked condition of the streets and houses in the Falls and Grosvenor districts of this city testity to the se- verity of the rioting Sunday night. Hardly a window or a street lamp re- mains intact, while doors were smashed in by stones hurled by the strikers at the cavalry. The street paving was torn up on all sides to furnish the rioters with missiles. There were -no fatalities, but about fifty persons, about equally divided among the troops and rioters, are be- ing treated in the hospitals for gevere injuries. The strikers are still in a very ag- gressive mood. Only the strong forces of troops on duty prevent them from others not enough. attacking the men who are at work. 10 BECONE GENERL Operators Will Be Called Out in United States and Canada. EXECUTIVE BOARD MEETS Order Will Affect Twenty-five Thou- sand Members of Commercial Teleg- raphers’ Union—Both Sides Confi- dent of Viétory in Pending Struggle. Chicago, Aug. 14.—General Secre- tary Russell predicts that béfore night the strike of the telegraphers will be general throughout the United States and Canada. He sald: “All of the members of the natlonal executive board are in the city with the exception of President Small and he has wired his sanction of any step Wwe may take in the direction of calling a general strike. A meeting of the executive board will be held shortly to take up the question of a general strike and In my opinion by nightfall the 25,000 operators in the United States and Canada who belong to the union will be called out.” Labor Commissioner Neill, Presi- dent Bamuel Gompers of the American Federation of Labor and some other labor leaders held a conference with the idea of arranging some manner of settling the strike. After the meeting had been under way for some time Commiesioner Neill declared that thére was no immediate indication of 4 settlement. BOTH SIDES CONFIDENT. Little Change In Strike Situation at New York. New York, Ang. 14—While the striking telegraph operators claim the strike agalnst the telegraph companies will be successful the officials of the Waestern Union and Postal Telegraph companies state that they are han- dling their business rapidly and that jumbers of men are returning to work. disorder has been reported by the police and the strike is proceeding quietly. Officials of both telegraph companies said that they had sufficient operators at work during the night to attend to the despatching of telegrams and that they would make every effort to fill the places of the strikers. All during the night pickets of the strik- era patrolled in front of the buildings of the telegraph companies and sought to turn back strikebreakers. Their methods were perfectly orderly and those who did not heed the persuas- fons of the pickets were permitted to proceed to the offices of the company without molestation. There was a gathering of striking operators in City Hall park, opposite the Postal Tele- graph building, but the crowd soon dispersed. The office of the local union swarmed during the day with striking operators eager to obtain information regarding the progress of the strike. The uniom officers told the men to create no trouble and assured them that it they remained out the com- panies would be forced to meet their demands. It was sald that the opera- tors employed by the brokerage houses would not be affected by the strike, but that the brokers’ operators would be assessed to help the strike fund. : The Assoclated Press started its west wire to Chioago and intermediate points at the regular hour and was moving a full report. The Assogiated Press east oircuit m New York to Boston and New ngland points “also opened on time with a full force of operators. NOT SERIOUSLY AFFECTED Assoclated Press Operates Its Wires in Most Citles. Chicago, Aug. 14—The Associated Press opened its main leased wire ofrcuits out of Chicago at 7 a. m. On the big trunk line from New York to Chicago, taking in the cities of Phil- adelphia, Baltimore, Washington, Pittsburg, Cleveland and Detroit, only the city of Toledo was missing when the wire opened. The Southern cir- oult to Indianapolls and Louisville was working to those two cities. The Northern circuit, covering Milwaukee, St. Paul, Minneapolis, Duluth and Su- perior, was opened with the regular staff of press operators copying at all those citles. The Southera circuit was opened from Louisville to Nashville, Birming- ham, Chattanooga and Memphis. The circuit to Kansas City and the Pacific coast was not set up, the cities on those circuits being.served with news reports over the regular com- merclal wires. Refuse Commercial Messages. Minneapolis, Aug. 14.—Telegraphers on the Soo line have absolutely re- fused to handle commercial messages, which cuts oft the entire territory covered by that line from telegraphic communication. The striking opera- tors claim that the operators on the Rock Island road had taken the same position. This brings the Order of Rallroad Telegraphers into greater danger of becoming involved in the strike. Canadian City Invelved. Toromto, ‘Ont., Aug. 14.—The tele- graph strike has extended to Toronto and about fifty Great Western opera- tors ‘walked out in sympathy with their brethren in the United States. The chief and about half'a dczen op- erators Temained at work. MILL CITY DOUBLE KILLING Robbory ‘the S8upposed Object of Two Murde { Minneapolls, Aug. 1.—Two men were murdered in this city during the past twenty-four hours. "Both murders occurred ‘mear’ Twelfth avenue south and First street. One of the vietims was Andrew Bjerklund, while the other body has uot been identified. 2, Bjerklund wes killed: probably by a blow over the head and then rob His body was placed on'a sidetr of the Minneapolls and Western road, where it was' terribly crushed. The second man, about twenty years old, was shot through the head, in the vicinity of Fourteenth avenue south and First street. The body was dragged two blocks and deposited in the center of a clump of high weeds at Twelfth avenue and First street. The police think that Bjerklund was murdered about midnight and the sec- ond man an hour later. Several peo- ple heard the revolver shot, but did not suspect anything wrong. Revolt in iie Congo. Antwerp, Aug. 13.—A widespread re- volt of blacks "in the Congo Inde- pendent state, which it is claimed was planned as a blow to King Leopold's authority, Is reported by headquarters of British pickets, which have arrived here from the Congo. They say the revolt Is alleged to have been incited by English missionaries. Anglo-German Misunderstandings May Be Cleared Up. -, London, Aug. 14—King Edward left England during the afternoon on his annual visit to Marienbad to take the cure. He will meet Emperor Will- lam at Wilhelmshohe and later will have a lengthy conference with Em- peror Francis Joseph at Ischt, The diplomatis importance of these meet- Ings is emphasized by the fact that Sir Charles Hardinge, permanent un- der secretary of the Britigh foreign office, will be present. ancellor von Buelow will be in attendance on the German emperor at Wilhelmshohe and his meeting with the king and conference with the representative of the British foreign office aye expected to do much to dissipate many of the misunderstandings which have so long clouded Anglo-German relations. Maryland Town Destroyed. Norfolk, Va., Aug. 14.—A large por- tlon, if not the entire business sec- tion, of Princess Anne, on the eastera shore of Maryland, was burned out early in the day. The fire was not of an incendiary origin, but was acoi- dental, it is claimed. May Refuse C. O. D. Liquor. Kansas City, Aug. 14.—Circuit Judge Z. E. Horn has refused to grant a man- datory injunction compelling the Adams Express company to ship C. 0. D. liquor packages into Iowa. The injunction was asked for by a distil- ling company here.

Wright, thé retiring Amer- lcan ambassador to Japan, has started from Tokio on his return to the Unit- ed States. Hls departure is generally regretted. Ambassador Leishman has recelved assurances from the porte that the American missionaries at Urumiah, Persla, are in no danger so far as the Turks, who recently crossed the fron- tler near Urumiah, are concerned.
