The entertainment was an unusually good production and appreciated by the audience. In fact, there was nothing to disappoint any of those present. There is no doubt as to the ability of this young man as an orator, de- monstrator and advertiser. The remarks heard upon the streets today are of a complimentary nature and no doubt he will leave this 'city with thousands of friends. After his lecture was concluded he extended an invitation to anyone suffering with any aches or pain, stiff ‘or swollen joints, deafness, rhuematism or 'paralysis, to step upon his platiorm and he would demonstrate on them free of charge and show them the merits of his wonderful New Discovery. Among those to take advantage of this invi- tation was Mr. Mike Broske of 804 American avenue, who had suffered with 'Lumbago for 7 years and for the hast week he could not stoop over without getting severe pains across the small of his back. After about 3 minutes application of the New Discovery Mr. Broske -stated that the pain was all gone and he could stoop over without any incon- venience. A special program has been arranged for tonight, the feature being a flour contest for boys. No doubt thousands will be on the show grounds tonight and nightly at the corner of Fourth street and Bemidji avenue dur- ing his stay, to witness-the free entertainments and lectures.

Toledo, O., Sept. 1.—The forty-sec- oend national encampment of the Grand Army. of the Republic opened here, although the programme of the day called for nothing save the re- newal of old acquaintances until the formal reception- of visiiors, when Mayor Brand Whitlock will deliver a brief address of welcome. The banner day of the encampment will come on Wednesday, when the G. A. R. parade will share honors with William H. ‘Taft, Republican candidate for president; Senator” Foraker, Gov- ernor Harris and others. The gentlc men mentioned will be tendered a re- ception on that day by the Lincoln club and will review the parade. No city in which a national encamp- ment has been held, the veterans de- clare, has been more profusely dec- orated than this city. Flags and elec- tric lights in patriotic design are seen everywhere, and bunting runs in riv- ulets along every street in the busi- ness district. The housing of the old goldiers in hotels and at private resi- dences meets with general commenda- tion and there is mourning among ‘the germs of rheumatism and pneumonia, which previously have rejoiced in the presence of damp canvas and straw- beds on the grounds. TIME TO REGAIN TRADE. American Flous Mills May Try to In- crease English Sales. Washington, Sept. 1—That the time is at hand for the American flour mills to regain the trade which they have lost in Great Britain, having par- ticular reference to Liverpool, is the opinion set forth in a report made by Special Agent M. H. David of the bu- réau of manufactures of the depart- ment of commerce and laber. The wheat crops of England, A\utra‘la, France, Indla and Russia, on which the Liverpool flour mills depend large- ly for their supply, are not promising in surplus yield this year. The Liver- pool mills now control the local flour irade, but it is pointed out that vari- ous conditions give the American mills an excellent opportunity to regain lost trade. Although American mills have put more flour into Livérpool each year for three years past, only half as much was imported during 1907 as was brought in during 1902 or 1903, ‘Trade was lost largely because of good wheat available to the Liverpool mills when the United States had poor crops to contend with, slow and frreg- ular transportation from America, and & letting down in quality by a number of American mills in order that lower prices could be made to attract trade.

Z “It 18 proven by one witness at least,” sald the court, “that efforts have been made to influence men to qualify as jurors and hang the jury, No evidence is offered by the defend- ant to deny this charge.’ While there are many just as good men in this .county as can be found anywhere the evidence shows that most, if not prac. tically all, of them have expressed an opinion and hence would not be com- petent jurors, Under these conditions I do net believe the case ought to be tried fn this county and therefore the ‘chiange of venue will be granted . - ‘Tented Camps and Public Meetings | marked by much violence.
