(R High School Football. : Under the experienced instruction of Coach Bright, the Bemidiji High Scliool tootball team is rapidly get-{ ting whipped into shape and will soon be sble to meet any team of their weight in this section of the country with bright chances of winning. The first and second teams are out each evening after school and for two hours are forced to work like beavers. With the diligent practic- ing which they are undergoing, the entire team is steadily improving, this being especially true of the back field. The line still has room for improvement. The boys are being tried in every position on the team and are shifted from one team to the other. There are about twenty players who are trying hard for positions on the first team and no shirking is allowed. The boys have got to work, and to work hard, to get their places this year (something they never had to do before, owing to the lack of material). . A strong acquisition to the team this year has been made in Warren Gill, a former player on the high school team at Muskegon, Mich. Gill played tackle for Muskegon and will probably be placed there or on end for the local high school team. . Coach Bright is also being aided for a few days by “Dick” Reynolds, of Helena, Mont., a college friend of Bright’s who is taking post-gradu- ate work in the University of Michi-| gan and is a member of the United States topographical survey. Bright and Reynolds are teaching the boys several of Yost’s plays to be used in their games. The team has secured the use of the down-town baseball grounds for this season and, by removing the bleachers, will have room for a grid-‘ iron there. This will enable the] business men to attend most of the game, as it will take but a few minutes +o walk to the grounds, | where formerly it “tuoh thirty! minutes to reach the fair grounds which formed the old field. The schedule so far is as follows: Fosston at Bemidji, Sept. 26th (fair day.) Grand Rapids at Grand Rapids, Oct. 3. Park Rapids at Park Rapids, Oct. 10. Manager Lycan has also written | to Cass Lake, Brainerd, Wadena, | St. Cloud, Akeley, Bagley and Crookston and he expects to ar- range games with those teams in a very short time. The following players are mem- bers of the squad who are working | for positions on the team: Ralphl Lycan, Helmer Kruse, Olaf Hum-| drom, Mayne Stanton, Hallen Huff- man, Charles Gould, Claude Brenne- man, George Carver, Raymond Kreatz, Warren Gill, Clio Boyer, Dana Gould, Fay Brenneman, Harry Ryan, Willie Russell, Jack McDon- ald, Emil Engels, Willie Naylor and Paul Winebrenner.

Wink at Some Things. “When you have mastered the gentle art of winking,” said Lord Beacons- field, “you hold the key to success in your hands.” Every one’s personality is made up of trivial failings and trivial talents. Foster the good qualities in your friends and subordinates and wink at those failings so dear to their possess- ors. Not to see everything is a rule ‘which will strengthen friendships and help you to get the best results from your fellow workers. “He is no good,” said the great Na- poleon of one of his officers. “He is continually looking into the privates’ stew pot!” “I want a man who can keep his eye on the ultimate result and ignore little fallings, never mind how aggravating,” said Nelson. And General Gordon once remarked that the man who lost his temper because a private's boot lace ‘was tied loosely on the day of a battle did more to lose the day than all the enemy’s guns. The Mysterious Gegenschien. There is visible in the night sky, un- der favorable circumstances, a faint llght, rounded in outline and situated always exactly opposite to the place of the sun. It is called the “gegen- schien” and is one of the most inex- plicable objects known to astronomers. sort of cometary or meteoric satellite ; attending the earth. He supposes it to be composed of a cloud of meteors, situated about 1,000,000 miles from the earth and revolving around it in a period of just one year, so that the | | sun and the meteors are always on op- posite sides of the earth. He estimates that the size of this ghostly satellite may be nearly the same as that of the planet Jupiter—viz, about 86,000 miles ! in diameter. CARRIE NATION ~ ON CANDIDATE TAFT Latter Declines to Discuss the Liquor Question, Cincinnatl, \ Sept. 18.—Mrs. Carrie Nation, without her hatchet, dropped in to town and went direct.to the Pike street address of Judge Taft. The judge himself admitted Mrs. Nation into the spacious hall. “You know me?” without preliminaries. The candidate admitted that from | the public prints he knew who Mrs. Nation was. “Well, I have come here to have a discussion with you on the liquor question,” was her next remark. “You will have to excuse me from entering upon any discusdion with you,” was Mr. Taft’s half smiling re- oly. ‘Whereupon Mrs. Nation began one of her characteristic speeches against the drink evil, not overlooking a con- demnation of all those who did not ge valiantly to the work of reform as she believed: it should be carried on. Judge Taft was modestly backing away and Mrs. Nation, seemingly somewhat awed by what she was do- ing, also backed her way out of the door and the interview was ended. she demanded SUSPENDS PUBLICATION. Catholic Review of New York Under Ban of the Pope. ‘Washington, Sept. 18.—It has just become known in Roman Catholic cir- cles that a wholesale condemnation of recent Roman Catholic publications soon would be promulgated from Rome. The first victim of Pope Pius X.s crusade against modernism is the Catholic Review of New York, the offi- cial organ of Dunwoodie seminary and hitherto enjoying the cordial support and outspoken admiration of Arch- bishop Farley. The Review has sus- pended publication and the number containing articles specifically con- demned by the Congregation of the Index must be withdrawn from ortho- dox Catholie libraries. The current number of the Review, which appears every two months, was due Wednesday. But the editors sent instead of the usual volume an intima- tion that no more numbers would be published and that these who had made yearly subscriptions would re- ceive the cash in lieu of the Review. The Review was regarded as the most scholarly and advanced publication of the Roman Catholic church in this or any other country. Insane Man Shoots Two. Towanda, Pa, Sept. 18.—While serving a warrant on Patrick Ken- nedy, a demented man, County Detec- tive Charles E. McCracken was shot through the left breast by Kennedy and Dr. Leonard Pratt, former mayor, | who came to the officer’s assistance, was wounded in the stomach. Dr. Pratt will recover, but McCracken is thought to be fatally injured. Dunne Fails of Renomination. San Francisco, Sept. 18.—The local Republican convention failed to re- rominate Superior Judge Frank H. Dunne, before whom the greater part | of the . proceedings in the bribery | graft cases have been held. Duniie’s opponent was Judge Carroll Cook, also of the superior bench, who was defeated for a place on the appellate court two years ago.

OysterjBay, N. Y., Sept. 18—A pro- cession of vehicles and pedestrians, winding] amid clouds of dust over the road from Oyster Bay to the prasi- dent’s jhome at Sagamore Hill, consti- tuted. a veritable pilgrimage of the residents of Oyster Bay, every one of whom was invited to attend the-fare- well reception which President Roose- velt tendered te them before his de- parture for Washington. Every auto- mobile, carriage and omnibus in town was pressed into service and those who were unable to secure'transporta- tion started to walk. Cove road, lead- ing to the president’s house, was choked with vehicles' of 'all descrip-| tions and with persons on foot plod- ding through the dust, proud of the opportunity to be received by the president and to pay him a farewell call while he was still president. Thes reception was limited to the people of Oyster Bay. The president has been so busy during his vacation that he has had little opportunity to meet old acquaintances and as he de- parts for Washington on Tuesday next he would have no other opportunity to bid them farewell. Forty members of the German Saen- gerbund of Hicksville, L. I, sang at intervals during the reception. Every one of the president’s guests passed in line before him and Mrs. Roosevelt and with each the president ghook hands and passed a few words of greeting and farewell. Light refresh- ments were served on the lawn. The Visitors found the president in splen- did health and departed for their homes delighted with the honor paid them. . GOMPERS ON THE STAND Taking of Testimony in Alleged cun-‘ tempt Case. ‘Washington, Sept. 18—The taking of testimony in the Gompers-Mitchell- Morrison alleged contempt case in connection with the Buck Stove and Range company anti-boycott proceed- ings against those officers of thie Amer- Ican Federation of Labor was resumed | by Examiner Harper with President Gompers on the stand. Mr. Davenport again was inter- rogator for the prosecution and he sought especially to develop the facts concerning the circulation of the Jan- vary issue of the Federationist, the official publication of the organization, which number Mr. Gompers bas stat- ed was expedited in order that it might be gotten out before the in- junction should become operative. Mr. Gompers said that he personally attended to the getting out of the pub- Hcation, but he could not recall that an exceptionally large number had been printed. When Mr. Davenport sought to develop particular details about that proceeding Mr. Gompers replied: “If you'll tell me just what you want T'1l frankly tell you and thus save you the time and trouble necessary to do s0 much probing.” PREPARING HIS SPEECHES | Judge Taft Will Be Kept Busy Until He Starts on Trip, Cincinnati, Sept. 18.—With the strenuous speaking itinerary of Judge Taft decided upon the time interven- ing before he leaves on his first trip will be devoted largely to the prepara- tion of numerous important speeches he is to deliver through the West. That this work may be done the most expeditiously Mr. Taft will spend the greater part of each day at the Pike. street residence of his brother, where he will be able to avoid the many call- ers who constantly throng the head- quarters in the Sinton hotel. There | may be a delegation or two which will come from Ohio points, but the recent porch feature of the campaign seems to have been completely eclipsed by the more important programme of travel. DEMAND LOWER ORE RATES Montana Commissioners Serve Order on Northern Pacific. Helena, Mont., Sept. 18—The Mon- tana railroad commission, in an order just issued, directed the Northern Pa- cific railway to reduce rates on ore shipments from all points in Montana, The order is the outcome of a recent hearing on the ore rate and means a reduction of 36 per cent on shipments to Butte and 17 per cent on shipments to East Helena. The same order will soon be issued to other roads. Bryan’s Daughter Writes Play, New York, Sept. 18.—Ruth Bryan Leavitt, daugliter of W. J. Bryan, Dem- ocratic candidate for president, has written for Miss Mary Mannering a four-act drama, in which Miss Man- nering will appear next spring, pro- vided that after reading the play she believes that she is fitted for the lead: ing feminine role. VERDICT OF NOT GUILTY. Congressman Laning Cries When Ac: quitted by Jury. Fremont, O., Sept. 18.—The jury in the Laning case returned a verdict of pot guilty after considering the case less than an hour. Following the re- turn of the verdict there were con- gratulations on all sides between at- torneys, jurors, judge, the defendant and others interested.

Mr. Laning was a diregtor of the Ohio Trust company, thrdligh which his various financial matters wene ne- gotlated, and president of the Laning Printing company, the plant of which ‘was recently burned. This company did much of the state printing. The trial of Laning was held here upon his own motion, he declaring that he could not obtain a fair trial at home. Together with J. C. Gibbs, manager of the Ohio Trust company,, the con- gressman was indicted on the charge of misapplying funds .of the latter company and embezzling stock of the Norwalk Savings Bank company. They also were accused of loaning funds to fictitious real estate companies, owned in part by officers of the bank, it was alleged, and used as a “blind” to cover personal loans. FIRST MARRIAGE ANNULLED Helen Maloney Not Legally Wedded to . Oshorne. New York, Sept. 18.—Miss Helen Malohey, daughter of Martin Maloney of Philadelphia, was granted a’final decree annulling her marriage to Ar- thur Herbert Osborne of this city.

Clarkson to Canada, where they were married and went to England.

RESPONSIBLE FOR A SERIES OF MISHAPS Dense Fog Prevails at Chicago and Vicinity. Chicago, Sept. 18.—A dense fog cov- ering Chicago and its environs handi- capped transportation companies and ‘was responsible for a number of acci- dents in which two men were killed and several persons injured. Through passenger trains were slowed up and suburban service delayed on all the roads through the inability of train- men to distinguish signals. An inter- urban car from Aurora crashed into an elevated train on the Oak Park in- cline, injuring several passengers. Sev- eral crossing accidents due to the fog ‘were reported, one peddler being seri- ously injured by being thrown from his wagon in a collision with a street car. Two laboring men were run down and killed by railroad trains obscured by the fog. An engineer and fireman were in- Jured when their engine and three cars on the Chicago and Northwestern was derailed by an open switch which the engine crew could not see. ‘While the Duluth limited train on the Chicago and Northwestern was waiting for a signal to proceed into the city yards a suburban train crashed into its rear end. Half a dozen persons were injured, one seri- ously, on the suburban train, while those on the limited escaped with a shaking up. Towards noon the fog began to be dispelled by the sun, TAFT WILL NOT ATTEND. Contemplated Mesting With Bryan Falls Through. Chicago, Sept. 18.—The contem- plated meeting of Judge Taft and W. J. Bryan at a banquet here Oet. 7 has fallen through, according to a state- ment made by Chairman Dixon of the Republican speakers’ bureau. “Judge Taft on Sept. 23 will ad- dress the Independent Railway Men’s Taft club in Chicago,” said Mr. Dixon, “but his itinerary will not allow of his speaking at Chicago Oct. 7.” It is said that it was Judge Taft's wish to speak at the banquet, but that the speakers’ bureau was not officially consulted in making the engagement. Princess Seeks Divorce. Paris, Sept. 18—The Princess de Broglie, wife of Prince Robert de Broglie, announces that she intends to bring sult for divorce against her hus- band on the ground of desertion.

BELIEVES IN ARBITRATION Imperial Chancellor Poirts Out That the German Empire Supported the Plan fér a Permanent Court at the Second Hague Conference and Has Made Use of It in the Clauses of Her Trade- Treatics. mentary union met in the chamber of the reichstag tfo discuss anew the peace of the world and how to main- tain it through arbitration. Frederick Passy, who with Randolph Cremer of England founded the union twenty years ago, sat on the platform next to the German chancellor, Prince von Buelow. In addition to the chancellor nearly all the members of the Prus- sian and imperial cabinets were in the ministerial seats, while behind them, upon the platform, D. J. Hill, the CHANCELLOR VON BUELOW. American ambassador, and Nicholas Murray Butler, president of Columbia university, were among the distin- guished strangers. Prince von Buelow made the wel- coming speech in behalf of the gov- ernment. He spoke in French and said that the delegates would find sympa- thetic appreciation of their aims and achievements in Germany and that the government was with them in the end for which they were striving. The only differences of opinion were with regard to which road should be fol- lewed so as to attain the desired aims in the best and surest way. Believes in Arbitration. “We in Germany are taking a vital part in the consideration of the ques- tion with which you are occupied,” said the imperial chancellor. “Allow me to call to your attention that we proposed at the second Hague peace conference the prize court agreement and that we supported the plan for a permanent court of arbitration and slgned the protocol recommending this. We have in various treaties made use of the arbitration principle and we have embodied this principle In the clauses, of our trade treaties. Our co-operation is won in advance for all measures which, by unallerable laws, makes secure the rights of hu- manity.” A love of peace, Prince von Buelow sald, did not signify lack of love for the Fatherlaad. True patriotism was the avoidance of conflict by resisting damaging, unscrupulous and unhealthy resentments which often merged into blind hatred and deceptive ambition. Germany had been taught in the school of hard experience for three centuries and she was and must be stromg enough to defend her territory, her dignity and her independence. She had not misused her strength and would not do so. The German people Icnged for peace founded on right and justice and, haviag kept that peace for many years, they had proved the sin- cerity of that desire. Prince von Buelow’s speech was warmly cheered and its tone had a favorable effect on the bourse as an indfcation that the international polit- Ieal situation was tranquil. The mem- bers of the union sent a telegram to Bmperor William in which they said: “The 800 members of the Interpar- liamentary union permit themselves to offer to the emperor their respectful homage and at the same time to thank your majesty for the energetic words uttered recently in favor of the main- tenance in the future of the peace of the world.” DEFALCATION OF $30,000. Employe of New York Brokerage Firm Missing. New York, Sept. 18.—A $30,000 de- falcation 4s announced by the stock exchange firm of E. R. Chapman & Co., at its main office, 80 Broadway. “One of our employes diverted a customer’s check to his own account, forging our endorsement,” members of the firm said. It is discovered that for three days the company’s branch office at Thirty- fourth street and Fifth avenue had been closed and its manager, L. A. Cooper, who lives at Larchmond, is missing. The defalcation may prove to be much more than $30,000, since 4hat amount appeared to have been taken from one customer alone. The loss falls on the trust company which accepted the checks with the forged endorsements. Reserve for Game Birds. Redding, Cal, Sept. 18—By an or- der of President Roosevelt about 70, 000 acres of land adjoining the Ore- gon-California line is to be set aside 88 a reservation for the propagation and protection of American native birds.
