Are Works of Art. i A decidedly unique piece of art, and by the way, one of the most charming things we have seenina long time, is a"story without words” entitled “A Trip to the Top of the Earth,” which W. L. Dudley, the Grand Forks Herald artist-editor,has made for J. W. Speelman of Buena b > Vista, to whom, as the “White Chief of the Chippewas” it is dedicated. The work is a collection of water color paintings and photographs in E nature colors of scenes in the vicin ity of Buena Vista, bound in book form. Several of the paintings, not- ably “The Glory of the Sunseton Lake Summit,” “A Lakelet in the Forest,” “A Carpet of Blueberries” and Among the Tall Pines,” are magnificent and although apparently but sketches are evidently the work of a master hand. We scarcely con- ceive that nature provides such un- defiled beauty spots as have been found in this vicinity, and Mr. Dud" ley’s work is a splendid contribution to the wealth of this section in its attractions as a summer resort.

It Is safe to say that very few of the people living in this country know how the president of the United States draws his salary of $50,000 a year. Of those few who may have given the matter a thought, a large majority do not know whether he receives his sal- ary monthly, quarterly or semiannual- 1y. As a matter of fact, the salary due the president is taken to the White House by a trusted messenger from the office of the treasurer of the United States on the last day of each month and handed over to the official whose business it is to look after it. The < president receives his salary in the shape of a check, the $50,000 being di- vided into eight checks of $4,16G.67 each and four checks of $4,166.66 each. Thus one month out of every three the president receives 1 cent less on his check than he does the other two. Some such arrangement as this is necessary, as, of course, §50,000 is not exactly di- visible by twelve. How to Guess Any Mumber. Desire one of the company to think of any number she chooses, provided it be even. Tell her to triple it, halve ! the product, triple this half and then tell you how many times nine will go into this last number. Multiply this by two and it will produce the original number. Thus suppose 4 to be the number thought of. You triple it, making it 12; halve this product, leav- ing 6; again triple this, making 18, in which 9 will go twice. This twice, multiplied by 2, gives you 4, the num- ber thought of. Or, to give another example, suppose 6 to be the number. Triple it, 18; halve this, 9; triple it again, 27. You ask how many times 9 will go into the result and, being told three times, multiply 8 by 2, and the answer is 6. On What Their Fate Depended. During the week certain members of the Scotch minister's flock had been paying overmuch attention to sampling the local whisky, and the minister took advantage of his position in the pulpit i to administer gentle reproof. “An’ I tell ye, one an’ all, ye're on the way to | perdeetion!” he cried. At that moment a fly settled on the Bible before him. He raised his fist. “Ye're gaein’ tae hell!” he shouted. “An’ ye'll all get i there, just sae sure as—sae sure as I s ding the life out o’ this flee!” His fist | crashed down as he uttered the words. i Then he looked to see the result of his handiwork, “Missed!” he ejaculat- ed. “Ah, weel, maybe there’s a chance } for some 0’ ye yet!"—London Bellman. § The Wrestler's Pride. In olden times a wrestler who had ‘won a belt used to go to his village church on the following Sunday wear- ing the belt. On the Sunday following that he went to some neighboring church in his belt and claimed preced- [ ence over the other young fellows. Nearly all the champions were men i great in girth and weight. Old Stead- i man, accounted by many the most powerful wrestler ever known, was twenty stone weight. — Manchester Guardian. How the Dutch Eat. A Dutch meal is always reminiscent of a game of cards, for the mother Geals out all round the table, and when that first hand is played out she deals afresh, and so on until the dish is empty. There is no promiscuous serv- ing, as with us, and the quick feeder (if such a person could exist in leisure- ly Holland) reaps no advantage. If meals are to be likened to games of cards, our meals in Dutch eyes must look like games of ‘“grab.’—London Queen. The Jaws of Death. Teacher (after reading the “Charge of the Light Brigade”)—Who were the six huadred referred to in the verse, “Into the jaws of death rode the six hun- dred?’ Pupll—I expect they were den- tists, ma’am.—Illustrated Bits. Not Worth Stealing. A certuin dramatic author was seen by a friend to have a manuseript almost falling from his pocket. “If you were not so well known you would have had your pocket pickéd,” sald the friend. The careful reader of a few gocd newspapers can learn more in a year than most scholars do in thelr great fibraries.—F, B, Sanborn. ALL BIG, GON VESSEL EIGHT TWELVE-INCH RIFLES Main Battery So Arranged That Each Gun Can Fire Two Shots a Minute. Cost About $7,000,000 and Wil Carry Nine Hundred Men. Philadelphia, July 13.—Amid the din of steam whistles ashore and afloat and the cheering of thousands of persons assembled to witness the event the “all big gun” battleship South Carolina was launched at Cramp’s shipyard on the Delaware river. ‘As the latest addition to the American navy slipped into the water Miss Frederica Calvert Ansel, daugh- ter of Governor Ansel of South Caro- lina, broke the traditional bottle of wine against the prow of the great hull and gave the big sea fighter its name. Surrounding the pretty girl stood a group including her father and his military staff, many officials of the navy department, the commandant of the Philadelphia navyyard, officials of the city, officers of the Italian war- ship Ettore Fieramosea, now in port, end hundreds of other invited guests. There was no hitch to the launch- ing and after tugs had warped the big hull into the dock the invited guests proceeded to the famous Mole loft of Cramp’s, where many a launching feast has been spread, and sat down to luncheon. The christening party sat at a center table and the usual toasts to the new ship, the president of the United States, the navy and to the fair sponsor of the South Carolina were drunk. Sister Ship of the Michigan. The South Carolina is one of the two “all big gun” battleships author- ized by congress, the other being the Michigan, which was recently launched at Camden, N. J. The South Carolina has a length between perpendiculars of 450 feet, a breadth of 80 feet and her mean draft will be 24 feet 6 inches. Her normal displacement will be 16,000 tons and full load displacement will be 17,000. The main battery of the South Caro- lina will consist of eight 12-inch breechloading rifles, mounted in four turrets and so arranged that each gun can fire two shots a minute. These guns will be able to fire on either broadside and will permit sixteen 350- pound projectiles to be discharged ev- ery minute. The South Carolina will also have a battery of about thirty 3-inch and smaller guns to afford pro- tection from torpedo boats and de- stroyers and will carry an armament of submerged torpedo tubes. The contract price, exclusive of armor and armament, is $3,540,000. Including the armor, armament and outfit the battleship will cost about $7,000,000. She will be turned over to the government on Dec. 21, 1909, and in commission will carry a total com- plement of nearly 900 men. TO SAVE THE BABIES. Chicago City Council $10,000¢ Chicago, July 13.—To save babies’ lives the city council of Chicago made a special appropriation of $10,000. Intestinal diseases among infants, caused chiefly by the hot weather, have been of such frequent occurreng¢e in Chicago that, according to relative figures, the total deaths of babies due to these complaints this year will reach the startling total of 3,414. Alarmed at the prospect of this ‘wholesale slaughter of the innocents the council authorized the transfer of $10,000 to pay 100 physicians who will be employed by the city to dissem- inate information concerning the causes and prevention of summer slcknesses among babies. Appropriates Explorer Cook Heard From. New York, July 13.—Dr. Frederick A. Cook of Brooklyn, the -explorer, ‘who is trying to reach the North pole by a new route through Nansen strait and whose friends were fearful that he had met disaster in the frogen North, has been heard from. A letter written by the explorer last Decem- ber was received by his wife, who is living in Brooklyn, stating that he hoped to start for his goal in Januvaery. No word had been received from Dr. Cook since last October and his friends announced recently that anm effort would be made to send a ship to find him. Duluth Man Goes Mad in Court. Duluth, July 13.—Henry Wilson, on trial for the alleged murder of his wife last March, created a violent scene when brought into the district court. He raved like a wild beast and it took three deputies and four other men to overpower him and put hand- cuffs on his wrists and manacles on his legs. Wilson gave the seven men who overpowered him quite & tussle and there was great excitement. Charges Criminal Libel. Philadelphia, July 13.—Mayor Johm H. Reyburn of this city, through A. 8. L. Shields, his counsel, has insti- tuted proceedings against B. A. Van Valkenburg, editor and publisher of the North American, and six members of the staff of the newspaper charging them with criminal libel. The tharges are based on articles and car- toons appearing in the newspaper dur- ing the last two years. Very Quiet. Lady Visitor—That new girl of yours seems very nice and quiet. Mistress of the. House—Yes, she’s very quiet. Bhe doesn't even disturb the dust when she’s cleaning the room. - Part of the Trade. Plumber—Have you got all we want for Brown's job? Boy—Yes. ' Plumber '—Wot? You 'aven’t forgotten nothin'? Bless my. soul, ’ow d’you expect to make a plumber?—Bystander. SLATED FOR ASSISTANT TO ATTORNEY GENERAL WADE H. ELLIS, Hot Springs, Va., July 13.—Attorney General Wade H. Ellis of Ohio, who it is said has been offered the assist- ant attorney generalship to succeed Milton D. Purdy, recently appointed United States district judge in Min- nesota, i8 ill and was not able to come here in response to an invitation by Mr. Taft. Mr. Ellis has telegraphed that his brother will visit Hot Springs and will confer with Mr. Taft in his place. INSANE MAN FIRES HOUSE Firemen Compelled to Knock Him Out to Enter Building. Cincinnati, July 13.—Battling for their lives as well as for the safety of the occupants of a tenement house on Clay street the members of Engine company No. 7 had a terrific struggle with Frank Frey, a demented man. ‘When they arrived at the burning building the firemen found a fire rag- ing in the two lower rooms and in the midst of the flames was Frey, armed with shears, defying them to enter. The firemen at first resorted to water as a weapon, but were finally compelled to knock him down with an axe handle before they could enter the rooms. Frey lost some money re- cently, worry over which, aggravated by the heat, is believed to have caused an attack of dementia. After a rest- less night he tried to commit suicide, first stabbing himself repeatedly with his shears. Death not coming Frey poured gasoline over the two rooms and applied the match to the oil soaked furniture. CHARGED WITH BRIBERY. Prominent and Wealthy Contractor Arrested. Louisville, Ky., July 13.—A dramat- ic denunciation by a member of the board of aldermen in full meeting was followed by the arrest of Lee Figg, a prominent and wealthy con- tractor, on the charge of bribery. Al- derman C. A. Hess, chairman of a committee having in charge the pav- ing contracts of the city, astonished the board by telling them that Figg had offered him $500 to make a favor- able report on certain contracts. The offer had been made earlier in the day, and had been clinched in the al- dermanic chamber only when Figg had given Hess a valuable diamond ring, the jewel to be redeemed for $600. Figg was in the chamber at the time he was denounced and was immediately arrested. He gave bond in the sum of $5,000. He declared that every word of Hess' statement was false. AUTO HIT BY A TRAIN. Brooklyn Man and His Wife Killed in Accident. New York, July 13.—Emerging from a sunken roadway where the sound of an approaching train could not be heard, an automobile carrying W. R. Hutchings of Brooklyn, his wife and daughter, and & chauffeur, was run down by a Long Island express train at Center Noriches, L. I. The occu- pants were hurled from the machine for over 100 feet into the fleld that adjoins the railroad. Mrs. Hutchings was dead when found and her hus- band died later of his injuries. Lillian Hutchings, the daughter, was serious- ly injured. The chauffeur was un- hurt. Warship Sent to Honduras. ‘Washington, July 13.—The cruiser Albany has been ordered to Amapala, the Pacific port of Hondurae, to re- main as long as necessary. Captain Henry T. Mayo, commanding, will in- vestigate and report on conditions growing out of the revolution and the necessity of protecting American in- terests. The Hondurans have feared the revolutionists might capture Ama- pala. Twenty Rebels Doomed to Die. El Paso, Tex., July 13.—A code mes- sage to the Herald, which escaped the Mexican censor, says that twenty rev- olutionists, who had been condemned to die, were removed from Casa Grandes to Chihuahua, where they will be executed in the state prison later. Canadian Town Scorched. Grand Forks, B. C, July 13.—Fire has destroyed two blocks and a half o{ the main business portion of this ofty. Loss $300,000, with 25 per cent insurance. Barnaby Mola was killed and another man named Buckman is missing. —_— Moving Pictures. Moving picture cameras are remark- able pieces of mechanism, The filmg are only three-quarters of an inch wide. These are in rolls, sometimes 800 feet long. When taking pictures the camera man reels off these rolls just a8 rapidly as they are unreeled when thrown upon the canvas for the spec- tator, at a rate of ten or twelve films a second. Moving pictures are simply & number of views thrown upon a Wwhite sheet one after another so rapid- Iy that the eye cannot defect the inter- OBJECTS TO TRUST Judge Parker Dissatisfied With Democratic Plaiform. "F PLANK - Did Not 8ubmit a Minority Report Because He Believed It Would Be Overwhelmingly Voted Down by the Bryan Supporters. Denver, July 13.—“I do not assent to the Democratic platform. I do not care at this time to state my reasons for withholding assent.” This statement was made by Judge Alton B. Parker, who, until .Friday, was the titular head of the Demo- cratic party. The news that the for- mer candidate for president is mot in sympathy with the platform, in spite of the fact that he voted for it, has created the nearest approach to a sen- sation the convention has had. Judge Parker refuses to discuss for publication his objection to the plat- form. He makes no secret of the fact, however, but thinks that this is not the proper time or place to make his views public, He did not submit a minority re- port to the convention, because he realized that to do so would accom- plish no good result. He would have been overwhelmingly voted down and would be charged with a desire to in- troduce discord into the convention, Must Await Developments. There is much speculation as to ‘whether Judge Parker will support the ticket. He was asked this blunt question and replied: “You will have to wait for develop- ments.” Judge Parker also intimated that he would do some talking on the stump, but fafled to state definitely what his attitude would be. While Judge Par- ker will not discuss the matter now it i1s known that his chief objection to the platform is directed to the trust plank. He does not like the idea of pledging the Democratic party to en- actment of a law giving to the govern- ment control over the products of trading corporations. Judge Parker regards this as an exceedingly dangerous doctrine and one calculated to lead to the eventual demand for control by the government of the output of all corporations. He made his big fight in the platform committee on this issue. VICE PRESIDENTIAL NOMINEE Biographical Sketch of Hon. John W. Kern of lidiana. Indianapolis, July 13.—John W. Kern was born in Alto, Howard coun- ty, Ind., Dec. 20, 1849. His forefath- ers were natives of Virginia and neighbors of Thomas Jefferson. At en early age Kern attended a normal school at Kokomo, Ind. He taught sohool for a while and then went to Ann Arbor to study law. He received his degree from the University of Michigan before he was old enough to vote and at twenty-one was nomi- nated for representative from Howard county, making a strong canvass in a Republican bailiwick. Subsequently he was elected city attorney of Ko- komo for six terms, though the coun- cll was always Republican. In 1884 he was elected reporter of the su- preme and appellate courts of Indiana. After moving to Indianapolis he was sent to the state senate in 1892 and became an gackrowledged leader in that body. He served in the state senate until 1896. From 1897 to 1901 he was city sttorney of Indianapolls. In 1900 he was nominated for gov- ernor on the Democratic ticket, but could not stem the tide against Bryan, whose firm friend he was. Kern was again nominated for governor in 1904, but conditions were still against Dem- ocratic success in Indiana. He earn- estly advocated the renomination of Bryan for the presidency in 1904, but wag among the first to declare for Alton B. Parker when Mr. Bryan elim- inated himself from the race. Mr. Kern might have had the Democratic vice presidential nomination in 1904, but’ for his determination not to lay any obstacles in the way of Thomas Taggart’s candidacy for the national chairmanship. It was on Kern’s mo- Hon in the national committee that Taggart was chosen chairman. Mr. Kern is a red hot campaigner, an orator of force and eloquence. He was the friend of Hendricks and Voor- hees and served with them in many memorable political battles. Bets Two to One on Taft. Chicago, July 13.—The first polit- ical wager to be recorded In Chicago on the presidential election was made at the Auditorium hotel between H. G. Merry of Baltimore and N. E. Mc- Bride of the Auditorium Annex hotel. As soon as the nomination of Bryan and Kern was made known at the ho- tel Mr. Merry wagered $1,000 against #6500 with Mr. McBride that Taft and Bherman would be elected. Bryan Expresses Satisfaction. I4nooln, Neb,, July 13.—In a speech teturaing members of the Lincoln n’s ‘Bryan club and the Nebraska Traveling Men’s Bryan club William §. Bryan expressed admiration for the Demooratic platform, Mr. Kern, bis running mate, and declared that the publicity of campaign contribu- i#lons would give the people a chance #o elect their choice to office.

HEARST. New York, July 13.—That Willlam J. Bryan is not to have the support of ‘William R. Hearst is indicated by the attitude of Mr. Hearst’s two New York newspapers, the American and the Evening Journal. The two papers announce a loss of confidence on their part both in the Democratic party and in Mr. Bryan. TAFT FAVORS THE PLAN. Republicans Will Publish Names of Campaign Contributors. Hot Springs, Va., July 13.—It has been made clear here that publicity of campaign funds will be the leading feature ‘of the Republican campaign this year. Judge Taft had extended talks with Chairman Hitchcock and with George R. Sheldon, treasurer of the national committee, and the necessity for the strictest possible compliance with the New York law in relation to the pub- licity of campaign funds of the na- tional committee was the chief topic. Referring to suggestions that the Republican party might receive funds outside of New York and not include them in the report of the national treasurer Mr. Taft replied promptly that it was possible to commit per- jury in such a case, but he scouted the idea that the purpose of giving publicity to the funds of the party in the coming national campaign is not entirely sincere. Mr. Sheldon also declared that the New York law in respect to all the funds that come to the national com- mittee, in whatever states they may be collected, will be published with the names of the donors. FOUND IN A MONASTERY. Missing Mayor of Dubuque, la, ls Located. Chicago, July 13.—A dispatch to the Tribune from Dubuque, Ia., says: Mayor H. A. Schunk, who disap- peared recently, was found in the Trappist monastery, eighteen miles from here. Troubles in legal and political af- falrs are assigned as the cause for the official’s desire to shun the world. It is stated he is following out ‘the rigid discipline of the monks and at- tending strictly to devotions pre- scribed by the order. There was much speculation as to the whereabouts of the mayor. When the fact he had gone to the monastery became known it was recalled he has been complaining of il health of late. WHEAT CROP THREATENED { Hot Wind of Past Few Days Has Greatly Injured Grain. 8t. Paul, July 13.—The hot weather of the past few days has eaused some alarm for the wheat crop of the North- west. Wheat is now heading out— the most critical period of its growth, when it is either in the milk or dough —and violent changes of temperature have much to do with its future growth. In the Dakotas during the July hot winds great damage is some- times done. In 1900 the yield of wheat in North Dakota was cut down to less than five bushels per acre from this cause. Today the condition of wheat is good, but it has stood about all the intense heat that it can stand without great injury. Bodies Finally Recovered. Manila, July 13.—The bodies of H. D. Everett, a government forester, and T. R. Wakely, a schoolteacher, who were murdered several weeks ago by tribesmen while on an expedition into the unexplored mountain regions of the island of Negros, have heen recov- ered by Lieutenant Ahearn of the con- stabulary forces after a difficult and dangerous search. Sherman Will Be Operated On. Utica, N. Y, July I13.—James S, Sherman, the Republican vice presi- dential candidate, was well enough to visit his business office and remain there an hour. It is announced that Mr. Sherman will be operated on in one of the hospitals in this city, prob- ably ten days or two weeks hence. Deputies Cheer Czar's Name.

Bisley, Eng., July 13.—The great in- ternational team match, the most im- portant event of the Olympic rifie con- tests, has been won by America and the American marksmen thus become the champions of the world. The American aggregate score was 2,531, that of the British team 2,496, while the Canadian team scored 2,439. Starting with a lead at the end of the first range the Americans never were displaced and with the excep- tion of the contest at the 600-yard range they scored higher totals for each of the six distances than the finest teams that Canada and all Bu- rope could put in the field. In the individual aggregates alsa the Americans always were prom- inent, first Lueshner and then Martin leading all the world’s crack rifiemen. Many experts consider the outcome a victory not only for the men but for the rifles. They declare that the short barrelled new Springfleld rifie proved fitself a far better arm than the new short barrelled Lee-Enfleld in use in the British service. The magnificent performances of the Americans throughout the contest made them popular favorites. The revolver team competition was won by America. Belgium was sec- ond and England third. The aggre- gate scores are as follows: America 1,914, Belgium 1,864, England 1,816, LAKE OF OIL ABLAZE. Flames Visible at Sea for Two Hun- dred Miles. City of Mexico, July 18.—A lake of ofl covering an area of more than one square mile and of unknown depth in the state of Vera Cruz is on fire. It has been burning for five days and has created the wildest terror among the natives of that section. The blaze is seen for more than two hun- dred miles at sea, a-z0:lirz to navi- gators who have arrived at Vera Cruz and Tampico. The scene of the fire is about sev- enty-five miles southeast of Tampico, near the San Geronimo river. It is remote from any railroad. An oil field was being developed at that place by the Pennsylvania Oil com- pany, which is composed of Pittsburg men. The company had bored a num- ber of wells and all of them were | flowing oil in large quantities. The product was being placed in earthen storage tanks preparatory to shipping. A careless workman accidentally set fire to one of the wells and the flames were communicated to the under- ground reservoir of oil. A terrific ex- plosion occurred which uplifted the earth’s surface throughout the whole field. The explosion was heard sev- enty-five miles distant. The ofl com- pany lost $200,000 worth of machiners and the oil which has been burned will total millions of barrels. The ‘whole oil field will be destroyed. WHILE HIS FLESH COOKED Engineer Sticks to His Post Until Task Is Complete. Bellevue, IIl, July 13.—Just after a cage contalning twelve miners had started to descend to the bottom of the Little Oak coal mine a steampipe burst and a jet of steam spurted upon the arm of Sidney Rowland, the en- gineer, who stood with his hands upon the lever controlling the descent. There was no one to call to and had he released his hold the cage would have dropped to the bottom of the shaft. He stood with his flesh cook- ing until the indicator showed that the cage had reached the bottom. Rowland was severely scalded. Hartje Files Another Appeal. Plttsburg, July 18.—It 1is learned that Augustus Hartje, the milllonaire paper manufacturer, whose unsuccess- iul and sensational divorce litigation as attracted wide attention, has taken an appeal to the supreme court of Pennsylvania from a recent de- oision of Judge Frazer which ordered him to pay his wife, Mrs. Mary Scott Hartje, $26,750 expenses and $7,000 counsel fees. The appeal was made July 2 and while Hartje makes no mention of the $5,000 alimony a year he believes the other accounts are too large. Alleged Embezzler Captured. Columbus, O., July 13.—Governor Harris received word from Acting Secretary of State Adee at Washing- ton advising him of the arrest at San- tos, Brazil, of Antonio S. Bonelli, an Italian agent of Cleveland, who is charged with the embezzlement of 27,000, which, it is said, was entrust- ed to him for shipment to Italy by emigrants in this country.
