SUBSCRIPTION---$5.00 PER ANNUM B. F. Wright, of Park Rapids, is making giant strides in the politi- cal favor of the voters of the Fifteenth judicial district in his candidacy for the republican nomi- nation for district judge. Mr. Wright is particularly well fitted for the position to which he aspires, being a practical attorney of a large practice and having at- tained during the past twenty years or more of active work that sense of fairness and becoming dignity that is so essential and fits so well with a judgship. There don’t seem to be any doubt at this but what he will be successful in his campaign which he is con- ducting with exceeding fairness to everybody concerned. It seems to be a case where the office seeks the candidate and the people will not have any “Wrong Mr. Wright” comedy on their hands in electing him to the position which he is so well qualified to fil.—Pine River Sentinel. OBSERVATIONS. (A. G. Rutledge.] = Vice Presidential Candidate Sher- man says: "I feel as fine as a fiddle.” Second fiddle? The price of beef has soared again. These bull market condi- tions are tough. Helie and Anna go into retire- ment today. The hope, admittedly feeble, is that it will be permanent. A Terre Haute cow tried a “diet of molasses yesterday and was strangled to death. She was after the sweet- milk record. Count Zeppelin announces that there is less atmospheric resistance to a large body than to a small one. That’s another reason why Taft’s going to run well. MEANS END OF REVOLT. Honduran Insurgents Repulsed at Sev- eral Points. Tegucigalpa, Honduras, July .4.— The Honduran insurgents captured the town of Porvenir, on the north coast, and later they attacked Ceiba, another Atiantic port sixty miles to the westward of Trujillo. At Ceiba they were repuleed. They also have ‘bgen beaton in the South and they are ficeing back to Salvador. ‘Washington, July 4.—The repulse of the revolutionists in both the north- ern and southern. parts of Honduras, official advices of which were received by Minister Ugarte of that country, presages the collapse of the revolu- tlon. This is the view of the minister. Porvenir, a town captured by the rev- olutionfsts, s a place ot about 83,000 people, with a small garrison, and is about ten miles from Ceiba, which the revolutionists, following up their victory at Porvenir, next attacked. At Celba, according to a dispatch re- celved by Mr. Ugarte from Foreign Minister Fiallos, they were defeated and are now being pursued by the government forces. Minister Ugarte thinks that the revolutionists, realiz- ing the hopelessness of any movement against Porto Cortez, whose natural Dposition renders it difficult of success- ful attack, turned their attention to- ward the east, which resulted in the operations against Ceiba. Minister Fiallos’ dispatch also conveys infor mation of the defeat of the revolu- tionists in the south of Honduras. IN HALF DYING CONDITION Trial of Prince zu Eulenburg Indefi nitely Postponed. Berlin, July | &—The trial of Prince Philip zu Eulenburg on charges of perjury in connection with the court scandals of last year was indefinitely suspended because the prince is in a half dying condition.

These later were shortened to three and then to two hours a day and the court was transferred to a room in the Charity hospital, where the prince is confined. The prince broke down and gobbed on His cot when the judge refuseg to continue the trial. In a weak voieh he urged them to go on and put aa ead to his long agony. “It is true enough that I am i11,” he exclaimed, “but what matters that when a man contends for his inno- cence and his honor?” Then raising himself up he struck the table at the side of his cot with his fist and exclaimed violently: “I object to. the uncertainty. The trial is now postponed, leaving the public in doubt as to whether I ai guilty or innocent. -I beg you to be mereiful. I may never live for the continuation of the trial.” POWDER MAGAZINE BLOWS UP Nine People Killed and a Number Injured.

Philadelphia, July ',%.—In a state- ment issued with reference to the meeting of railroad presidents in New York, at which was discussed the question of raising freight rates, Pres- ident McCrea of the Pennsylvania Railroad company, who was present, said that the conclusion reached was that the time is not opportune for an advance In all classes of rates in the territory represented at the meeting. Mr. McCrea’s statement i3 as follows: “Thers was no contest at the meet- ing as reported, nor any unpleasant difterences of opinion. The subject under consideration was so compli- oated that there was, of course, room for diversity in views. “It appears that thére is some mis- understanding in the public ‘mind as to the exact question under discus- slon. A general advance in all rates has at no time beéen contemplated, but there has been a general feeling among railroad officers that class rates, upon which the high class and miscellaneous traffic is carried, were, JAMES M'CREA. !l things considered, upon too low a basis. So to secure all the facts bear- ing upon the question traffic officers ere instructed some time ago to give the matter a most careful study. This u;}viiertaklng was so huge that the rallroad executives realized that a full report could not be made by the trafic officers short of five or six months. “The purpose of the meeting was to receive the report of progress as made and to pass upon certain polnts, the decision upon which was neces- sary to enable the trafiic officers to -| proceed with their work. After full gonsideration and exchange of vigws the conclusion was unanimous that the time was not opportune for an ad- vance in all ¢lags rates applicable to the entire territory represented at the meeting, which embraced lines oast of the Mississippl and morth of the Ohlo rivers. Thé trafiic officers, however, were requested to further consider the advisability of an in- ease In rates in specific cases where e present rates are particularly low in comparison with other rates and in view of the service performed. “The interested public may feel sat- isfied that the questions involved are recelving the earnest and careful con- sjderation that their importance de- serves. Rallroads have always recog- nized, expressions to the contrary not- withstandigg, that their property and that of the shipping public were de- pendent upon each other.” CASUALTIES REDUCED. Falling Off In Rajlroad Traffic Prob- able Reason. Wusmnfign, July L\—That the great reduction {n the number of cas- ualties to passengers and employes for the three months ending March 81 last, when there were but 16,441 such casuglties, or 728 killed and 14,718 in- Jured, was primarily due to the de- crédse in the volume of business on practically all of the railroads is the condlusiop drawn from a review of the statistics by~ the interstate com- merce commigsion in its acoident bul- letin.

Manila, July .. —The number of lives lost through the foundering of the pleasure launch San Gabriel while on its way from Manila to Corregidor is yet uncertain. Sixty-one passengers and members of the crew were res- cued. It is generally estimated that the number of passengers and crew numbered ninety. Thirty-five of those who were rescued clung to a liferaft and were buffeted about by the heavy seas for four hours, when the Ger- man steamer Suveric rescued them. Twenty-two more reached Corregidor in a lifeboat. The passengers on the San Gabriel were thrown into a panic when the heavy seas tore out some of the San Gabriel’s planking and she began to fill and terrible scenes were enacted. The vessel was greatly over- crowded and the lifebelts proved to be rotten and worthless. Few of the women and children cn board the ill fated launch escaped. After Years of Slavery.

NORTHW GSTERN TRUST COMPAN Y, lver. By Iral Oehler, Secretary. Dated this2nd day of July, A. U, 1008, THEIR PROTEST DISALLOWED DISGUSTS AMERCINS British Tug of War To‘lm Appears on the Field Wearing Spiked Shoes of Immense Size, Clearly Contrary to Rules Governing Game. London, July ' J—America has pro- tested the tug of war. Greece and Germany withdrew from this contest and the first pull was between the American team and the second team of the United Kingdom. The protest was made on the ground that the United Kingdom team, gontrary to the regulations, wore prepared shoes. The American team lost the first pull. The American team had two more pulls, the conditions being the best two out of three, but in view of the cause for their protest they declded to retire. The English team, who are mem- bers of the Liverpool police force, wore an immense shoe, which could not under any circumstances be used for ordinary purposes. In addition to this every man had the heels of his shoes encased in steel, which sank into the turf, while the head man had spikes fastened-to his shoes. When the Americans perceived how the reg- ulations were being ignored they made nq effort. Rose, the anchorman, did not even wind the rope around his body.” When the United Kingdom team put their weight on the feet of the Americans, shod with the ordi- nary shoes worn by athletes, slipped over the turf. Formal Protest Lodged. Matthew P. Halpin, manager of the American Olympic team, who had al- ready protested to the ‘officlals, at once reported the facts to James H. Sullivan, United States commissioner to the games, who immediately lodged & formal protest with the assoclation. The Americans gre disgusted at this treatment. The rules say die- tinctly that no competitor shall wear prepared booty or shoes, or hoots or shoes with projeeting nails, tips, points, springs or hollows of any kind and that no competitor shall make a hole in the ground. Hven without the steel heels and the splkes fastened to the shoes of the head man the footwear worn by the United Kingdom team would never have been permitted if there was any desire to have a fair pull, the Amer- {eans declare. . The shoes of the United Kingdom team were of tremendous size and even heavier than those worn in the Epglish navy. The soles were an inch thick. As .the United Kingdom team marched out on the flield they actually dragged their feet behind them, the weight of their shoes was S0 great.
