SUBSCRIPTION---$5.00 PER ANNUM Every newspaper with an expers ience reaching over a number of years can testify to the truth of this from the Willmar Journal: “How quickly will a man change his tune in regard to the newspaper man? When the sun is shining bright, and there are no clouds in sight, he sometimes heaps indigni- ties where none are deserved, with impunity. But when the sky be- comes auddenly overcast, and some- thing happens that he desires sup- pressed, then how he will try and ex- plain and beg. And generally the newspaper man will swallow his feel- ing aud show how magnanimous he reallyis. The feelings of an enemy have been spared and the public denied a choice morsel. And the newspaper man knows that the man he has spared will stab him again at the first opportunity. Such is life.” The increased cost of all printing materials, paper, etc.,, that go into the ‘making of a newspaper is grad- ually bringing the subscription price of all the weeklies up to $1.50 a year. ""A story is going the rounds that a certain editor out in Kansas, in dis- cnssing the proposed raise, states that he felt like a minister who when *'offered a'substsntial raise in salary, said, “I thank you, brothérs, butI cannot assume the additional task; it is hard enough to collect the sal- ary I am now getting.”—Ex. Says Sister Mary McFadden, in the Duluth News-Tribune: “A Be- midji attorney named Funkley bet- " ‘ter remain outside of Canada for ‘some time to come.

The road to success has many buy ways. Any one can find work if he will go to work and look for it. The more a man blows the less likely he is to come to blows. ‘The world is full of foolish people ‘who are unable to see things from our point of view. Time gets away from an old man almost as quickly as money gets away from a young one. It’s a wonder the tight squeezing in Wall street doesn’t excite the ‘envy of the corset trust. In after years a spinster may have cause to congratulate herself on the nnmber ‘of times she didn’t get married. All the world’s a stage, and each of the actors thereon seems to think it is up to him to act as his own press agent. When a woman has a good-loék- ing husband she .always keeps one eye on him and theother on her women friends, ““ 'Bi@ GRAFT IS “"CHARGED.

BRITISH DELEGATE SPEAKS Sugges Proposition for an Annual Interchange of Naval Intantions Be: tween the Natlons in the Interest ot Reduction of Armaments. The Hague, Aug. ! ,—At the plen- ary sitting of the peace conference a resolution proposed by Sir Edward Fry (British) was adopted unanimous- 1y, as follows: “This conference confirms the reso- lution adopted by the conference of 1899 regarding the limitation of mil- itary burdens and as military burdens have been considerably augmented in almost all countrles since 1899 it de- clares it is highly desirable to see the governments earnestly resume the study of this question.” The sesslon was opened at 3 o'clock by President Nelidoff. After the min- utes of the previous session had been read and approved, the amendments of the convention of 1899 regarding the laws and customs of land war and the prohibition of the throwing of ex- plosives from balloons, reported by General Baron Arthur Glesl von Gles- lingen (Austria-Hungary), were read and unanimously adopted, as was the convention regarding the bombard- ment of undefended towns, etc. The conference gave close attention while Sir Edward Fry, head of the British delegation, delivered his speech on the subject of the limitation of armaments. He recalled that the emperor of Russia, in convoking the first peace conference, had principally in view putting a stop to the augmen- tation of armaments and the solution of this question, Bir Edward Fry add- ed, had become more and more urgent in view of the manner in which arma- ments had been extended. He referred to the military expendi- tures of various nations and sald that the British government, recognizing that séveral powers desired to restrict their military power, were ready to communicate once a year to those powers inclined to do likewise its pro- Jacts for the construction of new war- ships, as well as the expenses implied thereby, believing that this exchange of news would facilitate the exchange of views between the governments concerned regarding the reduction of armaments. Moves Adoption of Resolution. At the conclusion of his speech Sir Edward proposed the adoption of the resolution given above. M. Bourgeois, head of ‘the French dolegation, also addressed the confer- ence, expressing the eympathy of France with the British resolution and M. Nelldoff read a statement from the Bpanish delegation to the same effect. Immediately after Sir Edward had finished speaking M. Nelidoff, head of the Russian delegation and president of the conference, rose and read sev- eral communications regarding the lmitation of armaments, including the disarmament convention between Argentina and Chile. He then deliv- ered a speech, saying that the confer- ence must recelve sympathetically ef- forts in this direction. Among the communications read by M. Nelidoff immediately after Sir Ed- ward Fry's speech was a letter from Joseph H. Choate, supporting in the name of the United States the Brit- ish resolution and expressing Amer- ican sympathy wit hits terms. The proposition to prohibit the throwing of explosives from balloons was approved by 29 yeas and 8 votes in the negative. There were seven abstentions from voting on this prop- osition. 8ifr Edward Fry announced - that Great Britain adhered to the prohibi- tion of the use of asphyxiating gas and expanding bullets. The proposition to prohibit the bom- bardment of undefended towns was unanimously approved, though seven delegations made reserves. After the disarmament treaty be- tween Argetina and Chili had been read the whole conference enthusiast- fcally applauded Senors Drago and ‘| Concha, who were chiefly instrumental in drawing up that treaty.

The death of Owens was the climax of his sensational escapade with Mrs. Tucker in Mexico City months ago. The two had traveled some time and finally reached the Mexican capital. There Owens caused a sensation by appealing to the police to locate his *“wife,” who had left him. It was said that she had decided to leave him on account of his insane jealousy. A few days later she went to Okla- homa City and upon the same train was Frank Ballard, an American hotelkeeper of Mexico City, at whose hotel the couple had stopped. Owens started in pursuit, claiming that Bal- lard had induced Mrs. Tucker to leave him. He wired the police authorities of Oklahoma City to place the couple under arrest on a charge of smuggling. Owens charged Ballard with having stolen a revolver from him and was himself placed in jail for threatening the woman. Mrs. Tucker and Ballard were released. Owens flnally got out of jail and followed the object of his infatuation. He effected a reconcilia- tlon with her on a train going to St. Louis, but they again separated. Owens was about forty-eight years old and was born in Wales. He trav- eled in many parts of the world and was in South Africa during the first Boer war in 1881. He came to this country about the time of the Jameson raid in 1895 and worked on newspa- pers in a number of cities until he finally located in Cincinnati, where he was employed as a writer until his elopement with Mrs. Tucker.

Washington, Aug. :J—Bubonic plague has broken out In San Fran- cisco and already one death has re- sulted from it.

Appleton, Wis,, Aug. - .—The Inter- national Paper company is behind the print paper merger which is now being brought to a successful close. This much was given out by a manufacturer who stands high in the paper trade and ‘who has mills that will enter the merger. The informant goes further than that. He says that every print paper, manila, fiber, sulphite and ground plant in Wisconsin, Minnesota and Michigan will be taken into the gigan- tic company. He says that options are now held on practically all of the mills. He added that within twelve months the International Paper com- pany, which was incorporated under the laws of the state of New York in TFebruary, 1898, with an authorized capital stock of $118,000,000, will con- trol the print paper market of the United States. To do this the com- pany will expend from $30,000,000 to $50,000,000 in buying up the plants in the Middle West. To John G. Hanrahan of New York, who successfully engineered the merg- ing of the twenty-two mills in the American Writing company and the thirty-two. mills in the International Paper company, belongs the credit for the Western merger, which, according to the manufacturer giving out the in- formation, s bound to take place. The manufacturer puts himself on record as stating that the price of print paper will advance to 4 cents to the jobber and 6 cents to the small buyer within two years.
