RUTLEDGE, Secretary, Bemidji, Minnesota., Proposed Train Changes. It is said in railroad circles that a new time card will go into effect in a short time which will make mater- ial changes in the train service on the Great Northern. Among these will be a material shake-up in the night train service between Crooks- ton and Duluth. The train that now arrives in Crookston from Duluth at 7 o’clock in the morning will, it is reported, leave Duluth about 4 o’clock in the afternoon and arrive at Crookston in time to make connections with the Winnipeg flyer to St. Paul, which arrives at 2 o’clock in the morning, giving a through service from Duluth to Winnipeg which will be very fast. It is also planned to change the time of the train which leaves Crookston at 9:35 for Duluth until about 10:35 so that it can take care of passengers who arrive from Winni- peg on the flyer enroute to Duluth, making a stop over night in Crooks- ton unnecessary. Instead of running through to Grand Forks the night train from Duluth will also end the run in Crookston, the same as Nos. 25 and 26, the Duluth day trains at the present time. Connecting with the train arriving from Duluth in the evening, a new train will be put on from Crookston and running west to Minot or Williston. Thousands In Fire Panlo, Bridgeport, Conn., Aug. 30.—Fire swept the amusement grounds at Steeple Chaee fsland, causing $60,000 damage and creating something of a panic upon the 20,000 visitors.

Three small fires were started by the storm, but were extinguished with small damage. Five hundred people who had taken refuge in the German village tent at the East Side carnival grounds, Min- neapolis, were pinned to the ground when the tent collapsed. Standing in water to their knees the prisoners Wwere unable to help themselves and a small panic ensued. A squad of police assisted the managers of the carnival in tearing the canvas to shreds. Grey Cloud Island, in the Mississippi river about three miles below South Park, was swept by a hurricane and several barns were blown down. Across the river a large barn owned by Herbert Fritz was lifted bodily and carried across a fleld, being smashed to splinters. Two cows that were in it were killed. Two horses in the barn were uninjured, the structure being lifted over their heads. The storra had a paralyzing effect on the rallroad, telegraph and trans- portation business.

BAD STORM AT DULUTH. ©One Person Killed and Seven Others Injured. Duluth, Aug. 20.—Duluth Sunday was visited by one of the worst elec: trical and rain storms in its history. One person was killed, a young wo- man named Anna Bolander. Lightning struck the Bolander home and the girl was killed by the bolt. Seven other persons in the house were more or less injured. Many other buildings were struck by lightning, one of these being the Polish Catholic church at Second street and Second avenue west. The bolt hit the steeple, knock- ing the top off and killing a colony of pigeons. Services were in progress at the time but none of the congregation was injured. The Elks’ hotel was al- so struck by lightning and many basements were flooded throughout the city. ACCIDENT IS PECULIAR. Minneapolis Woman Probably Fatally Injured. Minneapolis, Aug. 20.—Mrs. James McWalter, living at 166 Russell ave- nue north, was probably fatally in- Jured during the severe storm of Sun- day evening in a most peculiar man- ner. During the storm the cistern at the McWalter residence threatened to overflow and Mrs. McWalter started an examination. Opening the trap- door over the cistern, she lighted a match to ascertain the height of the water and a terrific explosion followed. A can of gasoline had been in some manner tipped over and emptied into the cistern and was floating on top of the water. Mrs. McWalter was ter- ribly burned and is not expected to re- cover.

Hanotaux 8ays France Should Ignére Algeciras Treaty. Parls, Aug. 20.—Former Foreign Minister Hanotaux, In a weekly re- view, expresses’ the opinlon that half- way measures in Morocco will only lead to disaster. He says there are only two ways out of the present deadlock—elther to make common cause with the sultan and his.government, whose existence is endangered by the anti-forelgn agi- tation, or disregard the terms of the Algeciras convention, take the situa- tion boldly by the horns and do what 1s necessary to end forever the exist- ing state of anarchy in Morocco. In the latter event, M. Hanotaux be. lleves that France will not enoounter any serlous opposition on the part of the powers and that, on the contrary, the abandonment of her present equiv- ocal role will inspire universal respect and confidence.

The opening’ price of most of, these stocks was about the level of prices reported from London. The fact that pening break: was. halled as a | @ sign that the stocks were beln; ported, The rally In stocks was short lived, for another wave of liquidation swept over the market near the end of the first hour and prices crumbled rap- 1dly.

Steel preferred gained & point. The cloge was firm and quiet. LIABILITIES OVER A MILLION Recelver ‘Asked for a Troy (N. Y.) Shirt Factory. Utlca, N. Y., Aug. i%—Application was made before United States Court Judge Day at Norwich for the appoint- ment of a receiver for Custiss, Leggett & Co., manufacturers of shirts, collars and cuffs, of Troy.

The company employs about 1,400 op- eratives. PASSES HOUSE OF GCOMMONS Pure Food Blil Introduced by John Burns.

COMPANIES CLAIM VICTORY Declare They' Are Now in Better 8hape Than Any TIme Since Trouble Began, but Strikers Insist That Busiriess Is Hopelessly Crippled. Chitago, Aug. : .—The telegraphers’ strike has all the appearances of a waiting game on both sides. The companies claim to be in better shape than on any preceding day and they certalnly were handling more busi- ness at their main offices in this city. The officials of the union asserted, as they have since the commencement of the strike, that the telegraph compa- nles are hopelessly crippled. The peacemakers were making no progress in any direction. The general strike order issued Fri- day by the union had apparently no effect in this city. The Western Union claimed that the only effect it had exerted on the strike was to call out seven men in twenty different states from which they had complete returns ‘* The number may be slightly in- creased when every office in the Unit- ed States is heard from, but both the Postal and Western Unlon declare that the order has not had the slight- est effect in interfering with their work. BIG SHRINKAGE. IN VALUES Heavy Aggregate Loss by Drop In Price of 4tocks. New York, Aug. : .—The past week in the stock market was the most sen- sational in some years. Prices went lower for many active issues than in the panic of May, 1901, and the shrink- age in values of some stocks ranged from $15,000,000 to $25,000,000. The causes which made the decline were fear engendered by the threats of fur- ther radical legislation by the federal and varlous state governments, the threatened money stringency and in- dubitable evidence of recesslon in va- rious branches of business. Added to this was the fallure of a large New England manufacturing concern and rumors of similar embarrassment else- where. The local situation was fur- ther complicated by the advance in the discount rate of the Bank of Eng- land and the generally unsettled con- ditions at the various Continental money centers. The strike of the tel- egraph operators added to the all around feeling of uneasiness, though it was not very disturbing in its effect upon business. The week closed with prices of many speculative issues low- er by 16 to 30 per cent than in the early part of the month. HELD TO THE GRAND JURY 8triking Miners Arrested at Hibbing, ¥ Minn., Some Tims Ago. Hibbing, Minn., Aug. &—Ten of the striking miners who were arrested on Aug. 6 have been bound over to the grand jury by Judge Brady shortly after the attorneys had finished their arguments.

The nine men who were let go were those who had not been identified by witnesses as having been in the crowd at the time of the arrest. WORK OF A JOKER.

GLOOMY OUTLOOK IN CHINA Absence of Guiding Hand Causes Un- settled Conditions. Toklo, Aug. '\—Private dispatches from Peking forecast a gloomy future owing to the unsettled state of poli- tics there, caused by the absence of a ruling mind powerful enough to cope ‘with the situation.* The empress dow- ager, who heretofore has been sole mistress of affairs, is now in a critical state of health. Her policy so far has been to play one minister against an- other in order to prevent the concen- tration of power in any single hand. Inasmuch as the empress is incapac- itated by an incurable disease and as the historical animosity of the Man- chus. and. mandarins 1s increasing the prevalling ‘state of affairs in the Pe- king government constitutes a baffling problem.
