Skating at the Rink To- night and Tomor- row Night Greetings To All Music by the Band Tomor- row Night Quiet on the Range. Yesterday’s Duluth News-Tribune contained the following concerning the latestphase of the strike on the iron range: “Sheriff William Bates and Deputy Owen Gately were in the city yes- terday for a short time. They ex- pect to leave Monday for the seat of war and will remain on the ground as long as there is any need. “The situation looks the same, according to the sheriff. He does not look for any more trouble and thinks the strike is well in hand. He has not in any way relaxed his vigilance but ‘does not have any difficulty in keeping abreast of the situation. He says the mines are getting more men every day and it will not be long until they are run- ning with full forces. “Asked concerning the deputy sheriffs on the range, about whom the governor inquired, the sheriff smiled and said: ‘There’ were no men sworn in as deputy sheriffs who were not residents of the state and are all good men, A false impression has been created by the fact that many of the mining companies have armed some of their own men to act as guards. These men are not special officers in any way. They are merely guarding the property of their em- ployers as they have a perfect right. It is not to be denied that some of these men have gone too far, but their indescretions should not be charged up to the sheriff. My men are all selected from the best timber available and are doing good work.” ”’ Is Ball Enthusiast. Matt Jones,proprietor of a refresh-| ment parlor at Northome, and who is also manager of the Northome baseball team, came down from his home this morning and spent the day in the city. Mr. Jones has considerable con- fidence in the prowess of his ball team and hurls defiance at the *‘First” nine of this city. . His defi- ance will probably - be accepted.and a game arranged between Bemidji ‘‘Dad” Allen Skidooed. In the.last issue of the Cass Lake Times, Editor Ives says of the late sheriffs’ convention, which was held in this city: “The annual meeting of the sheriffs of the state was held in Be- midji this week and some forty or fifty heads of that important office were there and partook of the good things, wet and dry, which Bemidji is famous for setting up. Neither Doc Rutledge nor Dad Allen were run in during the period of their maintenance of law and order, which shows that either the newspaper men of our sister town are improving in morals or that the officers, being in multitude, neglected their duty.” “Dad” Allen “skidooed” the Mon- day previous to the assembling of the peace officers, and hied him to St. Paul, in safety. As for the writer hereof, we “stuck,” and the visiting sheriffs were given such a good time that they failed to bear down heavily on our shortcomings, judge. “Scrubs” Mightily “Mauled.” The Bemidji“scrub”baseball team went to Northome Saturday evening, and _yesterday sfternoon they “crossed bats” with the Northome baseball nine in a game in which the boys up the north line simply walked all over the “scrubs” and tramped them into the swamp—the final score being 23 (how suggestive) for Northome to 4 for the “Scrubs.” Mitchell pitched for the Bemidji crowd. He was not hit very hard, but what was lacking in the hitting line was more than made good in the errors wnich the “scrubs” piled up. Scribner and Oman were the battery for the Northome team and they did nice work. Now Lives in Washington. Bemidji friends of S. McCamus, who formerly lived in Bemidji, will be interested in the following from the Brookston Herald: “S. McCamus,father of the editor, arrived Tuesday evening for a few days’ stay at our home. He is now making his home in Spokane, Wash., and this is his first visit east of the Rockies since he left here nearly two years ago. The elder MeCamus is on his way to Toronto, and other points in Ontario, where he will spend a month with friends -and relatives, some of whom he has not seen in over 20 years.” and Northome, to be played ata near-by date.

Itis no over statement to say that a train will move one hundred thousands bushels;—ten trains one million and when twice that numbsr of trains pass by every day you may easily estimate the mountain piles of wheat which our inspectors are called upon to sample from the beginning of the season until all is in- the elevators at Duluth. Returned from Pleasant Visit. J. Peterson, Jr., and wife returned on Saturday from a visit to the twin cities, whither Mrs. Peterson went to have her eyes treated. While Mr. Peterson was away he took occasion to visit his old home at Litchfield, where he had not been for many years. He greatly enjoyed his stay there and renewed old ac- quaintances and visited old scenes. The visit did Mrs. Peterson a world of good, and afforded both Mr. Peterson and his wife much pleasure.

Reno, Nev., Aug. 1/—"All the rail- roads of the country would be mine If I could get control of them,” sald Bdward H. Harriman to a reporter for the State Journal on his arrival at Sparks, Ney. the division terminal, In the course of an interview during which he discussed his work and his ambitions. “I .have been .quoted serfously for an expression made jocularly to the effect that I would manage the rail- roads for the federal government; that I would turn my holdings over to the United States for a fair compensa- tion and act then as a commissioner,” Mr. Harriman. continued. “But I am misunderstood. The time has not come for federal ownership. Person- ally, with all the lines in my posses- slon, I would be better suited” “What is your policy concerning the management of the railroads that we are told you own?” “It is to pay dividends,” came the decisive answer. “Since 1898 we have spent. $300, 000,000 for improvements. We want some returns. Don't you think we are entitled to returns from such an-ex- penditure? Mine, then, is a financlal policy; T watch that end of the game. Other matters are left to the officlals concerned with them. “Agitation of the abuses on the rafl- roads make harder the accomplish- ment of local improvements. Facta that in themselves are insignificant are magnified and distorted by the public mind until they become harm- ful to the interests of the public and to us. It is the spirit of the age—and the newspapers—so what can we do?” FAR ‘AHEAD OF LAST YEAR Coal Shipments to and From the Head of the Lakes. Superior, Wis,, Aug. 1'.—There is no danger of a coal shortage in the territory tributary to the Head of the Lakes if the roads entering here are able to handle the business the coming winter. Coal receipts up to the pres- ent time have broken all records and there is actually on the docks at the present time about 2,000,000 tons. Meanwhile shipments are good for summer and the prospects are that before the close of navigation the docks- will have sold more coal from Superior and Duluth docks than ever before during the same season. For three months previous to Aug. 1 this year the Superfor and Duluth docks shipped into the Northwest more coal than ever before in that same period and nearly.double the amount sent out in the same three months of 1896. This year, from May 1 to Aug. 1, a total of 48,944 cars have been shipped, as against 28,549 in that period a year ago. The roads are rushing new trackage and yard facilities and the Great Northern next week will have in operation its big new freight transfer shed here, which, it is calculated, will relleve -that road of the congestion of general freight experienced last fall. WINS HOME FOR HIMSELF Orphan Boy Saves Life of Rich Man's Daughter. New York, Aug. 1/.—Lewis Wilding, eleven years old, an inmate of an or- phanage, has by his bravery won for himself a home-and probably a good future. He jumped into the river and saved the life of Rose McGowan, thir- teen years old, the daughter of a con- tractor, who had fallen-into the water while gathering moss along the riv- er’s bank. ‘Wilding, who happened to be pic- ‘nicking in the vicinity with the chil- dren from the orphanage, went. to the rescue, while several. men stood by apparently afraid to make the venture. Hugh McGowan, the girl’s. father, says he will care for the orphan lad in the future and will also bring his act to the attention of those in charge of the Carnegle hero medal fund. " GIRL_IN_ NIGHTDRESS. Policeman Solves Mystery of Ghostly Bicycle Rider, Fort Dodge, Ia, Aug. 1'—The ghostlike apparition of a girl astride & bicycle flitting about the streets after midnight will not startle resi- dents in the East End any longer. For weeks pedestrians abroad late at night have been scared. Thursday night a policeman, at- tracted by a crash and a scream, ran around a corner and solved the mys- tery.. He found a young and prettly girl clad in a thin nightdress which had ‘suffered severely when the wheel she was riding struck a brick. The glrl was:dazed, but told the policeman where she lived. He escorted her home and startled her father, a ‘well known merchant, who thought his daughter was safe in bed. The girl said she had no recollection of her night rides. No, 1| TO TEST ITS LEGALITY.

NEILL GOES TO WASHINGTON Commissioner of Labor Declares That Differences Between Operators and Telegraph Companies Cannot Be Adjusted in Chicago. Chicago, Aug. 1' .—Despite the issu- ance of the general strike order by President Small of the Telegraphers’ union the situation in this oity has not materially changed. All of the men who were disposed to strike and ‘who might have been affected by the general order were already out. It was believed by the officials of the union that the order would paralyze & number of brokerage and commis- _sion houses, but up to a late hour in the morning no additional strikes in this direction had been reported. Both the Postal and Western Union companies increased their forces on the board of trade. They both report- ed the strike situation as steadily im- proving, with occasional applications from strikers for their old positions. It was spid at the offices of both'com- panies that they were every day han- dling matter with more dispatch. The {mprovement fn the Assoclated Press service was marked, a number of towns on each of the west, north and south circuits, which did not re- port the_previous day, were receiving a full report and the volume of news handled was much greater than at any time since the walkout Monday night. The efforts at peacemaking have so far produced no effect. The companies still declare positively that under no circumstances whatever will they, con- sent to arbitrate and the men still in- sist that they do not desire any media- tion. President Gompers of the Amer- fcan Federation of Labor declared that he was still working for peace, but admitted that present prospects were not bright. United: States Labor Commissioner Nelll has left for Washington. Just before taking his train he sald that the telegraphers’ strike could not be settled in Chicago and that the only place where an adjustment could be reached was in New York, The officials of the Telegraphers’ union here have changed front on the proposition to arbitrate and announced that they would accept the offices of the general board of arbitrators of the American Federation of Labor in set- tling the differences. This board cop. sists of John Mitchell of the Mine Workers, Daniel J. Keefe of the Long- shoremen and Samuel Gompers. It was Mr. Gompers who made the above announcement. SITUATION IMPROVING. General Strike Order Has No Effect In New York. New York, Aug. 1 .—Up to noon the order for a.general strike of all commercial telegraphers had met with 1o response from the men at work in either the Western Union or the Post- al Telegraph companies or those of the Assoclated Press. The officials of the two big companies said that they had failed to discover that the strike order had had any effect on the situa- tlon. The extension of communication to the more remote and smaller towns was_proceeding rapidly and business was being moved expeditiously. The Assoclated Press resumed local serv- ice to a number of minor points and the main circuits were working as usual. WILL CONTINUE AT WORK Raliroad Telegraphers Not Included - In-General Strike. Chicago, Aug. 1 .—At the confer- ence held here between President S. J. Small of the Commercial Telegra- phers’ union, Secretary Russell, Pres- sident Samuel Gompers of the Amer~ fcan Federation of Labor and several other ‘labor leaders it was decided definitely that there should be no strike of the 47,000 railroad telegra- phers of the United States. These op- erators will be called upon shortly to Judiclal decision as to its validity be- | contribute to strike fund of $60,000. Two of their general officers attended the conference. Declines to See Strikers. St. Paul, Aug. 1'—The strike of operators in this city has not mate- rially changed. The only develop- ment of the day was the refusal of ‘Manager Chapman of the Western Union to receive a delegation of strik- ers who desired to present a list of grievances. At a mass meeting of strikers ‘several local labor leaders made addresses. MOB PURSUES OFFICER. Becures Possession of Negro Prisoner and Lynches Him.
