The third annual fair of the Bel- trami County Agricultural associa- tion will be held in this city on September 24-25-26, the directors of the “association having decided on those dates at an enthusiastic meet- ing held Tuesday evening. And now, it is up to the business men of Bemidji and vicinity (land men and all others interested in the development of this part of the state) should put their shoulder to the wheel and help boost the fair. A well-managed fair, conducted in the interest of the farmers and stock raisers means much to the development of this part of the country. Friendly competition for purses will bring out some excellent exhibits of stock, grains, grasses and dairy products. The newly-elected officers of the association are all substantial men who are well known in the com- munity and the fact alone that they are connected with the association means that this year’s fair will be conducted in a business-like manner. Boost the fair. OBSERVATIONS. IBy A. G. Rutledge.] Dr. Herman Prowe, writing in the Deutsche Zeitung, says that Presi- dent Cabrera of Guatemala contri- buted $10,000 to the Roosevelt campaign fund. This story bears the trade-mark “Made in Germany.” Peary steamed away for the north pole with the pennant of the New York Yacht Club at the foremast and the American flag at the stern. It will take all the glory of the latter to counterbalance the record of the former. Years ago a Plymouth, Mass., woman gave a stranger a cup of coffee, and now he has remembered the kindness with a gift of $3,000. Probably the stranger’s gratitude was based on no grounds in the coffee. The new premier of Japan says that his object will be to “‘maintain peace throughout the world.” Weé won’t contradict him but we suspect that he would be an excellent man to draw up the average political platform.

The Milwaukee is now coaling and it is expected that she will sail as soon as that is completed. The Milwaukee will relieve the cruiser Albany, which, it is said, will proceed to San Diego. The movement of the big cruiser is believed to be incident to the unsettled state of af- fairs now existing in Central America. DEMAND A CLEAN SWEEP.

Husband and wife left the cottage where they have been stopping two weeks to do some casting in the lake. The hat and coat of Raisback were found near the body of his wife, but no trace has been discovered of-his body, although the lake is being dragged. Their boat had not been overturned. There was no sterm on the lake and no cries were heard by the cottagers. Some wild theories are afloat concerning the case. THREE HUNGRED CHINESE PERISH Passenger Steamer Founders During Typhoon. COanton, July 2)—The Chinese steamer Ying King, engaged in the local passenger trade, foundered dur- ing a typhoon. Three hundred Chi- nese are known to have been drowned. Only twelve of those on board were rescued. The Ying King was of 798 tons, 200 feet long, and was owned in Hong- kong. A number of Chinese also perished at Hongkong as a result of the ty- phoon and the property loss on shore ‘was heavy. The steamers Schuylkill, Persia, Powhattan, Laisang, Charles Harduin and the British torpedo boat Whiting are ashore at Hongkong. An unknown steamer and several lighters foun- dered. Fifteen houses in the town collapsed. There were casualties ashore and afloat, but few among the shipping, as the ships had been fore- warned of the storm. The public gar- dens, the chief attraction of the city, were wrecked. MILL CITY PYROMANIAC. Starts Ten Fires in Business District Within Half Hour. Minneapolis, July ‘3.—Ten blazes within half an hour and within a radius of three blocks, all started by an industrious incendiary whose iden- tity is still unknown, kept the lower wholesale district of Minneapolis in a turmoil and furnished considerable work for the fire department. In ev- ery instance the fires were quickly extinguished and the loss suffered was small. Armed with a torch and a quantity of oil soaked paper the maniac calmly set about burning the entire business district of the city. After lighting ten buildings he was frightened away and made his escape. The police have his description and are making every ef- fort to locate him. Samuel Zimmerman of Zimmerman & Stone was the first to discover the fire in the rear of the Hennepin Trad- ing House. While turning in an alarm for this he discovered that his own store was ablaze, Then came the alarm for the North- western hotel, the Igo Express com- pany and the George Day stables and five others. Every engine in Minneapolis re- sponded to the numerous alarms. The firemen divided and by desperate work succeeded in putting out all the fires with a total loss of but $2,000. French President in Russia. Reval, July %d4.—President Fallieres of France and the members of his sulte were guests of the emperor of Russia at luncheon on board the im- perial yacht Standart. The emperor greeted the president with great cor- dlality. The simplicity and frankness of M. Fallieres evidently have made a deep impression on the emperor. for the abuses and injustices of the old regime. Public opinion is demand- ing a clean sweep, especially of the palace officials who are identified with the days of “personal rule.” The task of weeding out the corrupt and the in- competent would be stupendous, Thousands of Men Wanted.

NEGOTIATIONS UNDER WAY | Harriman Interests Will Rendgr Much | Needed Financial Assistance to the Gould Roads and in Return the Head of the Unién Pacific System Will Aid in Shaping the Policy of, One of His Str;)ngelt Competitors. New York, July 2 .—George J. QGould, head of the Gould system of railroads, on returning from Europe, said that nothing would give him greater pleasure than to have E. H. Harriman in the directorate of the Gould roads. Replylng to a question whether Mr. Harriman would become 8 direotor of the Gould system Mr. Gould sald: “I cannot say, except that mothing would give me greater pleasure than to have Mr. Harriman with us. We need all the help of able men that we can secure. The railroad manager’s lot is not particularly a happy one. Some of the diamonds have dropped from our crown.” Mr. Gould said that he knew noth- Ing concerning an arrangement for the payment of $8,000,000 of notes of the ‘Wheeling and Lake Hrie Trailroad, which fall due on Aug. 1. Concerning his own property he said: “We are not yet out of the woods.” ‘While business had not yet reached the volume of last year, he added, his roads were now doing nearly a normal bustness. The receiverships of some of his ropds, he stated, were of a friendly nature and were designed to keep the properties intact and to protect them from hostile state interests. Good €rops Will Help Roads. . Gould laid much stress upon the excellence of crop conditions, which, he said, particularly affected the welfare of the Gould roads. Copcerning the Stendard Ol de- qlsion Mr. Gould expressed unqualified satisfaction. “1 think,” sald Mr. @ould, “that marks the turn in the Rysiness situation. Looking at it from the ndpoint of railroad credit noth- ing did more to hurt this credit abroad than the huge fine assessed by Judge Landis. The foreign investors felt that at any time their property might be confiscated through no fault of their own. Judge Grosscup’s decision again affirmed the American motto of fair play.” Mr. Gould added that he thought the one to answer for corporation mis- deeds was some individual, not the innocent stockholders. It was reported that following Mr. Gould’s return there will be a series of conferences between representa- tives of the Gould interests, E. H. arriman and Kuhn, Loeb & Co. and at as a result the Gould roads will receive strong financial support and Mr. Harriman and Kahn, Loeb & Co. will have a share in the management of the Gould system. Negotiations looking to that end are said to have taken place before Mr. Gould went abroad. BOOKMAKERS INDICTED. Thirty-six True Bills Returned by Grand Jury at Brooklyn. New York, July %).—Thirty-six men were indicted by the Kings county grand jury on charges of violating the enti-gambling laws at the racetracks.
