G o DTSR T i A 8 | THE RED LAKE RAILROAD WON'T OBEY THE LAW The M., R. L. & M. Proposes to Charge Passengers Three Cents per Mile Beginning Aug. 1. St. Paul, July 24.—The Minnea- polis, Red Lake & Manitoba Rail- road company has served notice on the state railroad and warehouse commission that beginning Aug. 1 it would charge a passenger fare of 3 cents a mile, thus ignoring the 2-cent fare law, This is considered a forerunner of similar action on the part of all the smaller roads of the state. The letter of the railroad company notifying the state commission con- tained no explanation of the prospec- tive advance in passenger rates. The road runs from Bemidji, Minn.,, to Red Lake and is con- trolled by C. A. Smith, a Minne- apolis lumberman. The road some time ago repre- sented to the state commission that it could not profitably carry freight at the rates established by the legis- lature, but added that it would comply with the 2-cent passenger rate. Accordingly the commission exempted it from reducing freight rates. The larger roads in the state are stopped from taking action.similar to that of the Minneapolis, Red Lake & Manitoba as they have brought the 2-cent rate into litiga- gation, Notice. ‘The Bemidji Bible Conference will be in session next week.

Uncle Sam’s Stamp-Licking Institu- tion Is Being Conducted at Profit to Government. The report of the Bemidji post- office for the quarter ending June 30, 1908, has been completed and shows an excellent condltior of business transacted at the office. The statement is as follows: _total receipts—$3,597.31; total expenses —$2,627.20. This leaves a profit of $970.11 for the Bemidji office. The total receipts show a gain of $121.00 over the same quarter last year which amounted to $3,476.31. A great part of the prosperity of the local office is due to the efficiency of the postmaster and his clerks. The untiring efforts of Postmaster Erickson and his assistant, A. E. Otto, have done much to increase the business of "the Bemidji office. The office force is as follows: Anton R. Erickson, postmaster; Adam E. Otto, assistant postmaster; Frank Slipp, . Samuel Cutter, Edmond Gould and Nellie Erickson, clerks; Harry F. Geil, S. C. Cobb and Dennis Considine, city carriers; and Ralph L. Grover and Cecil Petrie, rural carriers. O’Lea State Board Pharmacy Explains Law as It Relates to Others than Druggists. e — T 4T A controversy havi\nz arisen over some parts of “northern Minnesota relative to the law governing the sale of Paris greenin bulk or origi- nal packages by merchants other than druggists, the Minnesota State |- Board of Pharmacy has issued a circular relative to the matter, in order that retailers. may know just where they stand. i Bemidji merchants were involved in the controversy as to whether others than druggists could sell Paris green, and the circular sets at rest all argument, the law per- mitting merchants to sell Paris green, if sold in original packages, and not in bulk. 3 The circular issued by the board is as follows: “State of ‘Minnesota, “BOARD OF PHARMACY, “Minneapolis. "Nt_:tice to Dealers in Paris Green. “The law regulating the practice of Pharmacy and the sale of Poisons in this state, permits gen- eral dealersto handle Paris Green, if kept in stock in sealed packages, and so sold, distinctly labeled ‘PARIS GREEN, POISON’ but does not permit them to break packages and sell in bulk. The penalty for this and other violations of the‘ pharmacy law is fifty dollars for each offense. “Minnesota State Board of Pharmacy, “By Charles J. Moos, Secretary.” Presbyterian Church Notice.

Friday and Saturday Waists Will Be Held Tomorrow.—Superintend- ent McGuire Has Invited Crowd to Note Experiments. The ‘excursion of farmers and others living in eastern Polk county, and also in Clearwater and Beltrami counties, to the Northeast Experi- mental Farm at Grand Rapids, Saturday promises to be an_event of more than ordinary importance to the farming interest of these sec- tions. 7 Some three weeks ago, A. J. McGuire, superintendent of the Northeast Farm, decided to arrange that the farmers of these counties mentioned could pay a visit to the farm, he having been. the recipient of many letters from farmers express- ing a desire to visit the farm and look over the work being done there by Superintendedt McGuire. Mr. McGuire has arranged it so that special cars will be attached to the regular east-bound passenger train on the Great Northern rail- way from Crookston to Grand Rapids Saturday forenoon, one being put on at Crookston, another at Bagley,and still another at Bemid ji, providing the car at the latter place is desired in order to provide accom- modations for the crowd. The train will leave Crookston in the morning and pass through Bemidji, bound for Grand Rapids, at 12:05, It is the intention of Superinten- dent McGuire to give to the farmers who visit the farm a pratical demon- stration of what had been accom- plished there by advanced methods of farming,stock-raising and dairying,all of which will undoubtedly be of immense value to those who go to Grand Rapids on the excursion. - CANADIAN WINS RUNNING RACE Defeats Two Americans in 200-Metre Contest. EWRY GETS FIRST PLACE Member of New York Athletic' Club Captures the Final in the Standing High Jump and a Number of Amer- fcan Athletes Are Figuring in the Preliminary Heats of the 110-Metre Hurdle Race. London, July 24.—The first final to be decided in the day’s contests at the Olympic games at the Stadium, the 200-metre flat race, was won by Kerr, the Canadian sprinter, from two American competitors, Cloughen, Irish., American Athletic club, and N. J. | Cartmell, University of Pennsylvania, who finished in the order named. As the British runners had no chance of success in this event the win of the wearer of the maple leaf was as pop- ular as was the victory of South Af- rica in-the 100-metre dash. When it was seen that Kerr had touched the tape inches ahead of Cloughen the crowd on the stands stood up and cheered and the.Canadians poured out onto the field and carried their hero RAY EWRY, shoulder high to his dressing room. As Kerr was borne past the stand oc- cupied jointly by the American and Canadian rooters everybody there, irrespective of country, stood up and gave three ‘“rahs” and *“Canada” for Kerr, who has been one of the hard- est worked athletes in the games and Wwho was the first man to score a win for his country. Cloughen and Cart- mell ran a splendid race. “Ray ‘C. Ewry, New York Athletic club, won the final in the standing high jump. The Americans also are figuring on the preliminary heats of the 110-metre hurdle race and in each case where Americans started in these heats they were successful. J. C. Gar- rels, Chieago Athletic association; W. M. Rand, Harvard university; F. C.|br SmitHson, M race J. C. Carpenter, Cornell univer- sity, came in first. A sensation was created when the officials declared that it was no race. ~This decision Was reached on the ground that Car- penter had “bored” Halswelle, the English runner. Boring is the English term for “pocketing.” X DEMOCRATIC CHAIRMAN. Douglas of Massachusetts Slated for the Position. Lincoln, Neb., July 24—The polit- feal situation in the South was the subject of a prolonged discussion be- Daniels, national committeeman from North Carolina. In view of the claims of the Republicans, as reflected from Hot Springs, Va., that they were counting on the states of North Caro- lina, Georgia and Virginia in the com- ing election, considerable importance Wwas attached to the visit. The conclu- slon was reached, however, that those three states were impregnable against Republican assault. The chairmanship of the national committee also was talked over, Mr. Daniels being a member of the sub- committee which will select the man who is to conduct the campaign. For- mer Governor William L. Douglas of Massachusetts continues to be looked upon as the new chairman of the com- mittee, but the selection is being guarded with such secrecy as to make it impossible to get a confirmation of the report that he will be chosen. Fighting Resumed at Tabriz. 8t. Petersburg,” July 24.—A special dispatch received here from Tabriz, Persia, says fighting was resumed in that city. The revolutionists cap- tured three lines of trenches and earthworks that had been thrown up around the residence of the governor. This official is in virtual captivity. The revolutionists ‘have intercepted the Russian consular mail. ANOTHER WITNESS FOUND — Further Developments in Plot to Com- promise Frank Gould. New York, July 24—With another witness found who alleges she was ®pproached with a proposal to give false evidence against Frank J. Gould, the young millionaire who is being sued for divorce by Mrs. Helen Kelly Gould, evidence of an amazing plot swiftly accumulates. The district at- torney’s office promises yet more startling revelations than those al- ready made public. The new witness is Miss Blanche Hale, a hair dresser, who lives at the_ Hotel Lincoln and who has a number of fashionable patrons. Miss Hale has been exam- ined by a representative of the dis- trict attorney’s office and is said to have disclosed details of a proposition very similar to that to which ‘Miss Mabel McCauslan, the young milliner’s apprentice, made affidavit. The lat- ter's statement resulted in the arrest of Mrs. Ben Teal, Miss Julia Fleming and Detective Henry S. Mousley, who were charged with subornation of per- jury in an alleged attempt to secure evidence against Frank J. Gould which would enable Mrs. Helen Kelly Gould to secure a divorce and large alimony. Will Object to Judge Landis. New York, July 24—It was learned through sources identified with the Standard Oil company that the $29,- 240,000 case is not likely to go to the supreme. court of the United States. Nor is it believed the case will be re- tried before Judge Landis, as the Standard Oil company would protest against it and ask that some other Justice sit in the case. Ten Persons Injured. Colorado Springs, Colo., July 24.— Ten persons, some of them from the East, were injured, two of them seri- ously, by the derailment of two cars on a Colorado Springs and Cripple 1?reek railway train at Fairview, near ere.
