SUBSCRIPTION---$5.00 PER ANNUM CATALOGUE M:N GIVEN “MARBLE HEART.” The Olivia Review has been com- pelled by the lack of home advertis- ing patronage to accept mail order advertising, and is one of the few papers in the state to accept this class of advertising. There is not a paper in the state that has not re- peatedly order houses for a class of advertis- ing that space considered would net the publisher more than local adver- tising. Mail order houses are anxious to get into the country papers and offer a higher price than local advertisers and also agree to furnish advertisements in the form of electrotypes, thus saving the pub- lisher the expense of setting the type for the advertisements. In looking over our exchanges we see many papers which would be justified in accepting mail order ad- vertising, and it would not be sur- received offers from mail prising if the day would soon come when the distinction between the two kinds of advertising would be lost sight of. Local advertisers, if they do not take advaatage of the opportunity given them to reach their country customers through the local paper, cannot complain if the space is sold to the mail order houses.—Morris Sun. There is much in the above that is worthy of consideration of the majority of merchants in every town in northern Minnesota. Local mer- chants should stand by the local paper with more steadfastness than is the case in many places, as the paper man displays considerable nerve when he turns the ‘“‘marble face” to the catalogue house man with the cash offer for space. Growler Allen of the Bemidji Sen- tinel, is of the opinion that Young can carry nothing north of Anoka except possible St. Louis country. Mr. Young should be advised of this right away.—Walker Pilot. Yea, verily, Edward should know of this. However, brother, are a few of ue in this “neck o’ the woods” who do not take the so- called “Growler” seriously. “His bark is worse than his bite.” there OBSERVATIONS. [By “Doc™ New How can Mr. Limberg is council for York’s attorney general. he smell out corruption? The New York magistrate who sentenced two youngstersto Sunday School evidently has grim recollec- tions. In the Township of Eden, Me., automobiles are not permitted. We always did believe that modern society folk would not feel at home in Eden. At the same time it does no harm to remember that a socialist is the exact opposite of an anarchist. Dropsy and anemia may be equally fatal, but it does not follow they are similar, Just when we are growing elo- quent in our denunciations of foreign noblemen who marry wealthy American girls the raiding of some matrimonial bureau reveals that a considerable number of our country- men have been playing the same game—with less success. A Washington dispatch President Roosevelt is to wear a corset. We suppose the announce- ment will induce quite a number of the paragraphers to observe that he intends to stay in office. More probably he is becoming a little more straight-laced as the campaign approaches. says The First Reporter. The modern teporter harks back to the reign of Queen Anne and to the unknown scribewho attempted to tell the public the secrets of her parlia- ment. He had a hard time of it, for parliament wished to keep its secrets to itself. In 1728 an order was passed “that it is an Indignity to and a breach of the privilege of this house for any person to presume to give in written or printed newspapers any account or minute of the debates or proceedings; that upon discovery of the authors, printers or publishers of any such newspapers this house will proceed agalnst the offenders with the utmost severlty.” During the famous Wilkes case In 1772 the reporters won the vie- tory which they have since held with- out dispute,—New York American. TOSTIMULATEPRICES Mitchell Declares Some Coal Pro- ducers Desire a Strike. BIG CONVENTION OF MINERS Meeting at Indianapolis to Decide on a Course to Pursue After April 1, When Wage Scales in Bituminous Districts Expire. Indianapolis, March 1 .—The na- tional convention of the United Mine Workers of America went into session here to agree upon a course of action resulting from the failure of!(be oper- ators and miners of the Cexfral com- petitive field to agree upon a joint wage conference to fix a scale to succeed the present scale, which ex- pires April 1. The wage scales for the various bituminous fields of this country and Canada are based upen the scale fixed in the Central competitive fleld, con- sisting of Illinois, Indiana, Ohlo and Western Pennsylvania. Failure to agree upon a joint meeting to fix a scale in this field has caused Presi- dent Mitchell to call a national meet- ing of the miners to take decisive ac- tion. Indications are that four propo- sitions will be considered by the con- vention. The first will be to adopt wage de- mands and then issue a call for a joint wage conference, opening the door to all operators who may wish to come in, sign a scale and keep their mines in operation. The second will be to adopt a scale and issue a call for joint wage con- ferences by districts. The third will be to refuse to make any scale except by competitive dis- tricts, ‘which would mean that the Western Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana and Illinois operators and miners would be held to be one unit, as would those of Missouri, Kansas, Okla- homa, Arkansas and Texas—the Southwestern ccgypetitive field. This Proposal for Peace. The fourth proposition will be the extreme peace measure, a provision that the present contract be continued in effect a month longer and the mines be kept in operation during that period. It is thought President Mitchell will advocate the adoption of one of the first two policies, expecting by pursu- ing that course to get some of the op- erators to sign up and put their mines in operation. “There is a disposition,” said John Mitchell, “on the part of some of the coal operators to stimulate coal mar- ket prices by a strike, or by the threat of bringing on such a strike. We have done all that we could do to pre- vent this and it looks now as though there would be a full suspension of mining in all these great bituminous fields on April 1. We have stated our willingness to keep the mines in op- eration _after April 1 for a limited time, provided a wage settlement is under negotiation on April 1, but the operators, with some exceptions, not- ably the Indiana operators, have re- fused our requests for a joint wage conference and have persisted in post- ponements and delays. The miners’ convention is convened to adopt our policy.” HUGH BONNER DEAD, Recognized as One of the Best Fire Chiefs in the World. New York, March 14—Hugh Bon- ner, fire commissioner of New York, is dead of a complication of Brights disease and pneumonia. Mr. Bonner Was appeinted commissioner on Feb. 10, following criticism of the depart- ment, and in spite of the fac: that he was 1l at the time he accepted the appointment and devoted his energies to much needed reforms, Mr. Bonner was one of the ablest and best known firemen in the world. He entered the New York department in 1860, having been born in Ireland in 1839, and continued in the depart- ment until 1899, when he retired as chief, having passed through all the grades in the department during his forty years’ service. After his retire- ment he went to Havana for the gov- ernment and organized the fire de- partment there. So successful was his work in Havana that the govern- ment sent him to Manila, where he organized a fire department and for some time served as its chief. He was the inventor of a number of appli- ances used by fire fighters all over the country. DELAWARE AND HUDSON SUIT Steps Taken to Prevent Proposed Nine Per Cent Dividend. Albany, N. Y., March 14—Applica- tlon was made to the public service commission, Second district, by attor- neys for Hymans & Zoon of Amster- dam, Holland, and John T. Keegan of Milwaukee to investigate the Dela- ware and Hudson railroad with refer- ence to the question of the impair- ment of the capital stock. It is fur- ther asked that the commission inter- vene In the suit of Hymans and oth- ers against the Delaware and Hudson and take such further proceedings as are necessary to prevent the payment of the contemplated dividends of 9 per cent. Later in the day the sult was with- drawn, Messrs. Hymans & Zoon re- voking their authority to begin the action. French Academy Rejects Bequest. Paris, March 14.—The French acad- emy has decided to refuse the $20,000 bequeathed to it by Mlle, Louise H. Leclerc, who died in New York Feb. 25, 1907, to be used, according to the terms of her will, in “raising the moral tone of France.” The academy decided that the acceptance of this|Simple fund would be tantamount to promul- gating the opinion of the testatrix, who regarded her native country as a sink of iniquity. - NEW EASTWARD RECORD. Mauretania Reduces Her Former Time. Queenstown, March 1 .—The steam- ar Mauretania has established a new transatlantic record by beating her Swn best previous eastward record by two hours and thirty-six minutes. Her time on this trip was 5 days and 5 minutes. She traveled over the long route, the total distance traversed be- ing 2,932 knots. The average of knots an hour for the whole trip was 24.42, as against her own previous record of 23.90. The Steamer best eastward daily average of the Lusitania is 23.62. The best day’s run was 575 knots, with an average of 24.77 an hour. This has been equaled previously, however, for on Jan. 29 the Mauretania covered the same dis- tance in a day while bound east. ‘The high average run an hour by an (ransatlantic liners is 23.58. This was made by the Kaiser Wilhelm 1L SAILS Ui LER ASSUMED NAME Gould and Children En te ‘o America. ~It beiame known Anpa Gould, who York on the steamer Paris, here that X saiied for N Adriat vessel er ihe name of Miiler. had originally taken passase for her self and her chiklren on the Kron Prinz Wilhelm, but changed her plans at the last moment.

Stop loading your system with patent medicines and cure alls; but get on the water wagon. If you are really sick, why, of course, take the proper medicine—plain common vegetable treatment, which will not shatter the neryes or ruin the stomach.” When requested for such a pre- scription for the cure of rheuma- tism and kidney trouble the ans- wer was: “You must make the kidneys do their work; they are the filters of the blood. They must be made to strain out of the blood the waste matter and acids that cause rheumatism; the urine must be neutralized so it will no longer be a source of irritation to the bladder, and, most of all, you must keep the acids from forming in the stomach. This is the cause of stomach trouble and poer diges- tion. For these conditions I would suggest the following prescription: Fluid Exiract Dandelion, one-half ounce; - Compound Kargon, one ounce: Compound Syrup Sarsapar- illa, three ounces. Mix by shaking well in abottle and take in tea- spoonful doses after each meal and again at bedtime, but don’t forget the water. Drink plenty and often. This valuable information and prescription should be posted up in each household and TOCIACLE THE GLOBE SPECIALIST, Future Movements of Battleship Fleet Ofitcially Announced. RETURNS BY WAY OF SUEZ Will First Stop at Hawaii and Samoa, Following This by a Visit to Aus- tralia, After Which a Trip Will Be Made to the Philippines. Washington, March 14.—Secretary Metcalf announced the future move- ments of the battleship fleet, now at Magdalena bay, after the cabinet meeting. It will leave San Francisco on July 6 “for our Pacific possessions,” as Mr. Metcalf styled it. The vessels will first touch at Hawaii, where they will coal. After that they will go to Samoa, following this up by a visit to Australia, where they will stop at the cities of Melbourne and Sydney, the invitation of the Australian govern- ment to visit that country having been supplemented by a more cordial one from the British ambassador, Mr. Bryce. Leaving Australia the vessels are to go to Manila and while in the Philippines the annual fall target prac- tice will be held. Thence the return will be made to the United States by way of the Si stopping only at such ports as are necessary for coal- ing purposes. The date of their re- turn to the United States is dependent entirely upon the amount of time re- quired for the target practice in the Philippines. The visit of the battle- ships to Puget sound will be made some time between the conclusion of the grand review in San Francisco bay on May 8 and the date of the sail- ing over the Pacific. Secretary Metcalf said that the bat- tleships would remain in San Fran- cisco bay until about May 22, during which time they would fill their bun- kers with coal. According to the present plan the entire fleet will go to Puget sound and some of the ships may be sent to Vancouver, all return- ing to San Francisco, however, before departing for home. -Admiral Evans will retire in August by operation of law. His successor has not yet been decided upon. DEFEAT LABOR MEASURE. Liberals Break With Socialists in House of Commons. London, March 14—The Liberals and the Socialists came to a clash in the house of commons and, undoubt- edly influenced to a certain extent by Lord Rosebery’s speech in the house Thursday against socialism, the Lib- erals threw overboard the unemployed ‘workmen’s bill of the Labor party. The majority against this bill was 149. The measure has become known as the “right to work” bill, because a vital clause makes it the duty of the local authorities to provide work for all unemployed persons and, failing this provision of work, the authorities shall provide maintenance for unem- ployed men and their families. The Dbill is frankly admitted to be socialis- tic in character. “All we want is money and we propose to get it from those whose bursting money bags of unearned increment which the govern- ment is too timid to attack” was the phrase used by one of the labor lead- ers in the debate and it sums up very well the general trend of the spesches of the supporters of the measure. As a result of a cabinet meeting the government, under the leadership of Herbert H. Asquith, chancellor of the exchequer, but who is g.,cting as pre- mier during the illness of Sir Henry Campbell-Bannerman, decided to risk & probable split with the Socialist ele- ment and Mr. Asquith and John Burns, the labor leader in the house, both asked the house to reject the bill. Mr. Burns declared that the passage of this bill would be most destructive to the social fabric. The government already was doing all that could rea- sonably be expected, he declared, to improve the condition of labor. If it had made a mistake it was that it had gone too'far and exalted “fustian and corduroy above the frock coat and the top hat.” MARKET QUOTATIONS. Minneapolis Wheat.
