There are clever paragraphers and catchy writers among the state auditors, but the Compass man is a genius. His column, “Slight Varia- tions of the Needle,” occupies, as it should, the first column of the paper’s front page.—Mary McFadden in Duluth News-Tribune. We say amen to the above. OBSERVATIONS. Admiration is a woman’s first love and devotion is her last. You never hear of any one troubled with insomnia early in the morning. The more good qualities a man possesses the less he has to say about them. Some men remember a favor this way: Where they got it when they want another. They say a woman can’t keep a secret. Ever try to learna woman’s age by direct questioning? It is a real shy man’s secret be- lief that nothing worse can happena man than to have a baby left on his porch. There are no songs or orations about her, but the hen has done more for the country than the eagle ever will. After all, the only sure happiness we have today is the knowledge that we don’t know what is going to hap- pen tomorrow. When a woman cleans out a bu- reau drawer she leaves the drawer as full as before beginning, and throws out enough junk to fill it again. If a man has his choice of two reforrus it is easy for him to argue that the one which will do the world the greater good is the one that will cost him the least. The First House of Commons. The earliest traces of the English house of commons are found in the year 1205. That year Simon de Mont- fort, earl of Lelcester, caused writs to be Issued in the king's name requiring each sheriff of a county to return to a parllament which he proposed to hold two knights for the shire under his jurisdiction, two cltizens for each city within its limits and two bur- gesses for each borough. The parlia- ment thus called met in London on Jan. 22, 1265, and was practically the first {n which the people, as dls- tinguished from the nobility and aristocracy, had ever participated. It was not untll the revolution of 1688, however, that the people were falrly and squarely represented In parlia- ment. The house of commons Is to- day the supreme power in England. Its will s law, the lords and king be- ing, as Walter Bagehot long ago de- clared, men “ornamental.” The power of the crown in England Is merely nominal, as is that also of the house of lords. When the people speak out loudly through their house of com- meons, that as a general rule settles it. Too Impulsive. A man who had figured in two street ear accidents made an attempt after his second recovery to renew his accl- dent insurance policy. The company refused to insure him again. “We can't afford to,” sald the agent, “on account of your habits.” “My habits?” explained the man. “What's the matter with my habits? I don’t drink or anything llke that.” “No,” said the agent, “perhaps not, but you do something just as bad from our standpoint. You are impul- eive, you take unnecessary chances in crossing streets, and, what Js worst of all, you get off a car backward. ‘We know, for we have watched you. 8o far as this company Is concerned, no more insurance can be issued to'a man who habitually leaves the car crab fashion. The llabllity to accldent 1s too great.”—New York Post. Anatomy. “How many ribs have you, Johnny?” asked the teacher. “I don’t know, ma’am,” giggled John- ny, squirming around on one foot. “I'm so awful ticklish I never could count ’em.”—Ladies’ Home Journal. “What's Dad A-doin’?” “Mammy's knittin’ dad a pair o pocks.” “An' what's dad a-doin’ of?” “Prayin’ to the Lord for shoes!”— ‘ Atlanta Constitution. Making a Monkey of Him. “I have something to tell you. I have a tale about my ancestors.” “I presume your ancestors had talls ebout themselves.” — Detrolt Free Nothing can be done at once hastily and prudently—Publing Syrus. TELEGRAPHERS’ STRIKE. Reports of Prevailing Conditions Very Conflicting. Chicago, Aug. 2.—Geneoral Buper- intendent Capen of the Postal Tele- graph company sald that his company has resumed telegraphic communica- tion with all points in Canada. The Canadian connections of the Postal company are over the wires of the Canadian Pacific railroad and the of- ficlals of the Telegraphers’ union de- clared that the railway operators will not be allowed to handle the Postal business. Both companies reported as being able to handle all current business, but at union headquarters it was as- serted with much confidence that the companies are badly crippled. The operating forces of both the Postal and Western Unlon on the board of trade were again increased. New York, Aug. 21.—Officlals of the Western Union and Postal Telegraph companles state that they are handling business without congestion and that so far as the companies are concerned the strike is over. General Superin- tendent Brooks of the Western Union said that the company had opened sev- eral more of its branch offices in the clity. GREAT POSTAL ROBBERY Mails Sacks Containing About $250,000 Disappear. Lincoln, Neb,, Aug. 2 .—Three mall sacks sald to contain about $250,- 000 disappeared from a Burlington train Sunday night between Denver and Oxford, Neb. The postoffice of- ficlals have just made the theft public. The train left Denver with seven sacks and but four remained when it reached Oxford. Detectives and postoffice of- ficials are at work on the case. Superintendent J. M. Butler of the Sixth division of railway mall clerks believes the robbery took place just west of the Nebraska line. Both mall clerks were asleep while the train was passing a long stretch of track with few stations. Butler believes some one slipped into the mail car and threw the sacks out of the window. He has ascertalned that the valuables were all in two of the sacks, one be- ing empty. Seven sacks of registered mail were placed on the Kansas City train leav- ing Denver over the Burlington Sun- day night. These sacks were destined for Chicego and were supposed to be placed on the Chicago train at Ox- ford, Neb. Three of the registered sacks were missing when Oxford was reached. Postoffice officlals have all been warned to be cautious about giving out information on the robbery. AGAIN SCORES REV. LONG Second Attack by President on “Na- ture Fakers.” New York, Aug. 2i.—The ‘“nature fakers” have once more come under the fire of President Roosevelt. He discharges a whole broadside of crit- fcism and ridicule against them in an article, written by his own hand, in the September number of Everybody’s lagazine. “Nature Fakers,” such is the simple title of the contribution, which constl- tutes as vigorously expressed a bit of censure as the president has penned for some time. Particular attention is paid to Rev. William J. Long as & prominent “faker,” the clergyman be- Ing scored decisively. President Roosevelt advises a course of barn- yard study for the “fakers” who “make such startling discoveries in the wilderness,” it being pointed out that such a course would have a very enlightening influence on them. Re- ferring to Mr. Long individually the president hits out in this fashion: “Of all these ‘nature fakers’ the most reckless and least responsible is Mr. Long, but there are others who run him close in the ‘yellow journal- Ism of the woods’ as John Burroughs has aptly called it.” FIRED FARMER'S BARN. Assassing Then Enter His Home and Murder His Wife. Camden, N. J, Aug. 2 .—Called from his slumbers by the spectacle of his barn in flames Edward Horner, living near here, returned in a few moments to find his wife .murdered and a servant unconsclous from in- Juries inflicted with an axe. Horner reports that some Itallans whom he employed during the garden trucking season quarreled with him when they were discharged and threatened him with vengeance. It is his theory that the barn was set on fire in order to draw him from his house, whereupon the assassins entered and murdered the woman. MILLION DOLLARS iNVOLVED Decision Affecting Collection of Inter- nal Revenue. ‘Washington, Aug. 2.—The refund- Ing of at least §1,000,000 in taxes ille- gally collected will result from a de- cision of the commissioner of internal revenue that under the act of June 27, 1902, which repealed the war rev- enue act, the tax on a legacy or be- quest does not e except where the beneflciary come into actual posses- slon and enjoyment of the property bequeathed prior to the passage of the act of June 27, 1902. This re- verses the practice of the internal revenue bureau under which the tax was levied and collected regardless of whether the beneficiaries came into the enjoyment of the property before or after the war revenue act wus re- pealed. —_—— Pick of Canadian Beauties. Duluth, Minn., Aug. 21.—A party of elghteen young women from Canada is in Duluth om:a junique excursion. They came on the steamer Huronic from St. Thomas, via Barnia, and rep- resent varlous cities of Ontario. The young ladles are the guests of the St. Thomas Journal, being prize winners in-a voting contest held by the Journal and are the piok of the beauty of thelr province, ] ) 1 MIRIESOT'S - B STATE F OPENS SEPT. 2 FOR SIX FULL DAYS —NEW BUILDINGS— ENLARGED GROUNDS GREAT AIR-SHIP TO MAKE DAILY FLIGHTS Everybody Going; Including Dan Patch and Sweet Marie Wno Go to Break Their Record. Pres. Cyrus Northrop’s opening ad- dress on Monday morning, Sept. 2, WIIL usher in another Minnesota State Tair, and this, the 4Sth of the list, glves royal promise of setting a new record for attendance, exhibits and all around success. And success for the Minnesota State Fair means more than a balance on the right side of the ledger after the fair is over. Per- haps more than any other fair in the country this one has striven to be of practical use to the people, and has accomplished more in this way than many of the older fairs in larger and richer states. Its efforts to im- prove the character of the livestock popular one for seeing the fair cheape ly. For the campers, as well as all the other visitors, the new sewer gys- tem on the fair grounds will be a thing of comfort and sanitary safety, It 18 a complete system, and, with many new public comfort stations and mod. ern plumbing, and a copious supply of pure water, will make personal com- fort on the fair grounds certain. For those who may be taken fll an emer- gency hospital will be maintained. There is a complete United States postoffice, fire department and electric alarm service, Red Cross corps, bureau of information, local and long distance tolephone service (both companies), cight miles of cement walks, eating places galore, and even a place to check the baby while the tired mother has a little sight-seeing, But while the state fair looks well to the educational side of its work and is allve to the comfort and conven- lence of its patrons, it does not forget that many people come with the idea of blending amusement with the more practical objects of their visit. It was the first fair in the country to make racing a success without the accessories of betting and pool-selling. Now many states are following the ex- ample of Minnesota and horsemen pre- dict that the greatest racing will, in a few years, be held at the state fairs of the country. At the Minnesota fairs the races have been of the high- est character. Notable horses will compete for the purses hung up by the management this year, and racing will THE MARVELLOUS AIR SHIP. This wonder of the new century will be at the Minnesota State Fair the entire week making flights three times each day. raised in the northwest have met with striking success, and its work for edu- cation in dairying matters, horticul- ture, agriculture and improved prac- tice in all the details of farm manage- ment, has been eminently efficient. In accord with this polioy the practi- cal farm departments of this year's fair will be developed carefully and will be more than ever of practical benefit. Last year the great livestock amphitheater was opened for the first time. This brought to the attention of the breeding world the enterprise of the northwest and such a collection of cattle- as was never seen before will be gathered this year at the Minnesota fair as a result. Besides the ordinary classes the American Short Horn Breeders’ Association will hold in con- nectlon with the state fair a national exhibitlon of short horns and there will be special premiums for Minne- sota raisers of this breed. Auction sales of Shorthorns and Herefords will be features of the week. The greatness and importance of the dairy industry of the state is recog- be seen at its best—the highest types of horse flesh following out their nat- ural bent for speed under perfect con- ditions. The Minnesota State Fair track has the world’s record for the fastest mile ever made by a harness horse—the mile made by Dan Patch last year in 1:55. Dan will go again on Monday of fair week, trying to again lower thip wonderful mark. On Thursday, Sept. 6, Sweet Marie—as great as a trotting mare as Dan is as a pacing stalllon— will endeavor to lower her world’s record of 2:02 without a pace maker. Other great horses will be In the. races spurred by the large purses and the reputation of the track as a fast one. At last a practical airship has been constructed and the state fair man- agement has secured it for flights three times each day during fair week. It will be on exhibition between times and when it fliles it will circle the grand stand and occasionally visit the adjacent cities. This will' be the first opportunity of the Northwestern pub- DAIRY HALL AT THE MINNESOTA STATE FAIR.

Another world beater is the new poultry building—183 by 147 feet— costing $25,000, and being the largest of its class. At last the dairy and poul- try departments of the fair are well housed. The honey department is cared for in the new dairy hall, and Increased space is thus secured for agriculture and horticulture in the agricultural building. And it was needed. As many as fourteen counties have applied for space for county ex- hibits; farm exhibits will be numerous and the frult will make a very fine showing. ¥ Bince the last fair the agricultural soclety has purchased forty acres of additional land northeast of the old grounds, and into this' much needed oxtension the agricultural implement Aivision of the fair will push this year. On the new forty acres there will /180 be a camping ground in & beauti- ful grove. Tents may bo had at nom- inal cost and the plan seems a very lic to see a real, successful, navigable alrship—the things which man had been unsuccessfully trying to invent for 8,000 years. G " A great program of special acts will be given each afternoon in front of the grand stand, and each day there will be a section of the thrilling- ladles’ reley riding race with ‘sensational changes at the end of each mile before the grand stand. f The evening entertainments at the Minnesota fair are now famous. This year the pyrotechnic spectacle will be called “The Siege of Jericho,” and will conclude with much the best dis. play of fireworks ever seen at the state falr or anywhere in the west. Racing by electric light and marvelous spectal platform acts under the rays of battle-. ship searchlights will fill up a wonder- ful evening program every night of the fair. Saturday afternoon is to be given up to automobile racing and will be one of the most popular days of the week. Barney Oldfield and other riders of international reputation will be an hand, ———eeee e NO SERIOUS DAMAGE DONE Fifth Dynamite Outrage Against Chl- oago Gamblers.

They use large bamboo sticks from which have been removed all the partitions char- acteristic of the bamboo, leaving only one at the bottom. The bamboo trunk 1s thus made to serve the purpose of a bucket, It is like a long narrow pail and holds several gallons of water, for the bamboo trunk is quite thick.
