SUBSCRIPTION---$5.00 PER ANNUM “Not a few jump on public men with no official knowledge of the alleged offense committed,” says an exchange, “and when they find out their mistake crawl] into a hole rather than expose themselves to the ridicule that others use against them. Public men are subjected to all kinds of abuses and by those who do not know what they are talking about in too many instances.” This is equally true of many peo- ple who are prone to yell “graft” every time some unprincipled cuss hints at jobbery in public affairs, without information on the subject, oftentimes purely from malice, with no intention of ascertaining the truth or falsity of such insinuations. Such people are character assassins. Anoka Herald: St.Cloud is think- ing of abolishing the band concerts in order to protect the young women of that city. This protecting busi ness is we think ratherup to the parents and male relatives of the young women. Just why the young people of St. Cloud should be deprived of the evening band con- cert in order that parents of frivolous, ignorant or foolish young women of that city may be removed from insult on the street of a band con- cert evening does not appear. An alert police department should rem- edy the evil. Anyway the young lady who minds her own afiairs and behaves herself is pretty safe in St. Cloud or anywhere else in America. Even the bums of a city receive some encouragement before they make any advances, although the ladies usually teartully deny any such accusation. GIGANTIC SEA WALL SAVES GALVESTON Successfully Withstands On- slaught of Raging Gulf. Galveston, Tex., July 23.—Galveston has weathered a repetition of the storm of 1900. To the sea wall alone is attributed the fact that the city is standing. In the vicinity of Galveston the loss of life as a result of the storm is placed at ten, members of a fishing party at Tarpon pier, several miles in the gulf. The total property loss is estimated at $100,000. Finished but four years ago at a cost of $2,000,000 by the government and Galveston county the sea wall, a glgantic mass of marble and concrete standing seventeen feet high and sev- enteen feet thick at the hase and gradually sloping at the top, success- fully withstood the onslaught of the raging gulf as whitecapped wave after wave was hurled against it. Tarpon’s fishing pier, where oc- curred the only loss of Hfe thus far reported, is at the end of a narrow and rocky promontory which sheers into the deep gulf. Waves swept the hotel from the summit of the rocks and cast ten perrons into the water, GRAIN AKD PROVISION PRICES Duluvth Wheat and Flax.

SOME COMPROMISE LIKELY President Is Not Committed to Free Raw Materials and Calls Attention to His Recent Statement as Proof of His Position—Refuses to Agree to a Two Years' Limitation of the Corporation Tax Feature. Washington, July 28.—In discussing with various of his callers the results of the tariff dinner at the White House President Taft expressed him- self as entirely satisfled. The presi- dent declared, with reference to the placing of raw materlals on the fres list, especially hides, that his chief interest now lay in finding out what could be done with reference to man- ufactured products. Western senators who are fighting the proposition tc put hides on the free list are using their best endeavors to have a change made in the manufactured goods schedule to offset any concession they may have to make with regard to the duty on hides. President Taft called attention to the fact that he has been inadvertent- ly misrepresented as demanding free raw materlals all along the line. The president’s position, as outlined in his statement of Friday last, was that he favored an inquiry to find out what degree of protection, if any, was nec- essary in the matter of ore, hides, coal, etc. The president has not committed himself irretrievably to free hides, free coal, free oil and free iron ore and the fact that he called attention to this fact leads to the impression at the White House that some sort of working basis is about to be reached. Taft Will Carry His Points. The president, as a result of the stand he has taken in the conference consideration of the bill, will win nearly all of the wishes he has ex- pressed and while he declined to dis- cuss “compromise” with any of his callers it i8 quite likely that the con- cessions which the conferees will make will in the end prove satisfac- tory to the chief executive. . President Taft was not optimistic in his talks as to the time that will be required to whip the measure into shape. One of his’callers asked when certain changes were to be made in the organization of the bureaus of the department of commerce and labor and then added that perhaps that was a late summer matter which the pres- ident was not ready to take up. The president laughingly sald that it had better be called a fall matter, for the tariff promised to be an “all summer” job. An effort was made at the dinner to have President Taft agree to a two years’ limitation of the corporation tax. He declined to do so. This mat- ter was gone into at the time the tax was suggested and it was then declded that no time limit should be placed upon the measure. Certain adherents of the income tax, who vot- ed for the corporation tax as a sub- stitute, would not have lent their sup- port to the measure with the time limited to two years. FOR RIVER TRANSPORTATION Line of Steel Vessels Planned by St. Loule Company. ‘Washington, July 23.—Plans for a $10,000,000 river transportation con- cern are being dlscussed in Washing- ton. Arthur N. Sager and J. L. Bab- ler, St. Louls attorneys, acting, they say, for financial {nterests able to carry out the immense project of building a line of steel vessels and barges to ply the Mississippi and its tributaries, are interesting congress- men in the scheme. The company proposes to have op- erating points at Chicago, St. Paul, 8t. Louls and New Orleans, believing that a waterway which will give lake shipping an outlet by way of the Gulf of Mexico is practically assured. The wheat carrying trade between the Upper Mississippi valley and the seaboard is the prize the new com- puny is seeking. The fact that river transported wheat can be placed at New Orleans for not more than 8 cents per bushel, according to the pro- moters, tells the story of what the ccapany expects. . TO' SUCCEED CLEMENCEAU Aristide Briand Asked to Become Pre- mier of France. Paris, July 23.—President Fallleres has asked Aristide Briand, minister of Justice and worship, to form a new cabinet to succeed the Clemenceau ministry, which resigned Tuesday night. Mine Trouble Amicably Adjusted. ‘Wilkesbarre, Pa., July 28.—Presi- dent T. L. Lewis of the United Mine Workers has recelved a telegram that the troubles between the miners and employers iIn Wyoming and Montana have been amicably settled. More than 14,000 men are affected. The present wages are renewed. The new contracts run until Oct. 1, 1910. STORY NOT TRUE, SAYS HENEY Money Drawn Last Year Was for Work Done Previousiy Cordova, Alaska, July 23.—Francis J. Heney, the San Francisco prose- outor, who i at Abercrombie canyon, fifty-five miles up the Copper river, was notified over the telephone of the statement made In the house of representatives by Representative Tawney that he received $23,000 from the federal government last year for which he dld no work. - Mr. Heney eald: 3 ey B e S il ™I have mnot recelved a dollar in fees except for services rendered prior to the commencement of the San Francisco graft cases. The delay in payments to me by the United States government was due to lack of funds, necessitating a special appropriation by congress. A fully itemized state- ment of all my accounts 18 in the hands of the United States attorney general.” THEIR VIEWS VERY SIMILAR President and Senator Cummins Dis cuss the Tariff. ‘Washington, July 28.—Senator Cum- mins of Iowa, who is a leader among the “progressive” senators, took breakfast with the president and spent two hours with him in discus- sion of the tariff situation. They went over the entire ground and it is un- AR Y IR BB B RUR DY, B0 SENATOR CUMMINS, derstood found themselves to be very much in accord. Mr. Cummins spoke for the coterie of ten senators who voted against the Payne-Aldrich bill as it passed the senate. He assured the president of the continued adherence of those sen- ators to the policy of a lower tariff and was told in return that the presi- dent was losing no opportunity to im- press the wisdom of such a course upon senators and members of the house. ENTIRE BATTALION ~IN OPEN REVOLT Spanish Troops Object to Em- harking for Morocco, Barcelona, Spain, July 23.—A riot broke out among the troops who were about to he embarked for Melilla, Mo- rocco. An entire battalion revolted and threatened the colonel and other officers with their bayonets. Other troops were hastlly summoned and the mutineers were disarmed. Madrid, July 23.—King Alfonso has cancelled all his engagements on ac- count of the gerious situation that has developed in Morocco. Parliament will be asked to vote further credits so that more reinforce- ments can be sent to Melilla. It is possible that General Weyler, former- Iy Spanish captain general of Cuba, will be placed in supreme command of the Spanish force in Morocco. The Liberal press is joining in the popular protest against sending sol- diers to the RIff coast, alleging that the war is solely for the purpose of protecting ‘lvate mining interests. Anti-War Riot at Madrid. During the night, while the Spanish troops which are to reinforce th. Spanish garrison at Melilla were pre- paring to leave for Malaga, the fam- iles of the soldiers surrounded the railroad station and charged the po- lice with the object of preventing the departure of their relatives. A desperate melece followed, in which the nolice used their swords and revolv' -s. At least a dozen per- sons were -ounded and many others arrested. Stringent measures will t taken to suppress similar popular dis- turbances in connection with the de- parture of troops in the future. Melilla, Morocco, July 23.—The Spanish positions here have been re- inforced by fresh troops from Spain. During the fighting Wednesday the Moors got within 800 yards of Melilla. When they retired they left 104 dead on the field. CONTINUED UNTIL NOVEMBER Trials of Dr. Miller, Mrs. Sayler and Others. ‘Watseka, Ill, July 23.—Dr. Willlam Miller, Mrs. J. B. Sayler and John and Ira Grunden, indicted for the murder of J. B. Sayler, a Crescent City bank- er, on July 11, were brought into the circult court here to make their pleas. Fred P. Morris, of counsel for the defense, made & motion to quash the indictments. He was overruled by Judge Hover, but his motion to have the case continued for pleas and trial until the November term of court was sustained. The courtroom ‘was crowded by an expectant throng eager to get a glimpse of the defendants. Mrs. Say- ler was accompanied by the sheriff and as she was led to the side of her attorney she wept violently. She ap- peared to be bordering on a nervous collapse. She was dressed in black. During the brief proceedings she made no attempt to communicate with any of the other defendants, who sat near her. Man’s Body Found In Trunk. Lynn, Mass, July 23—The dead body of an Armenian was found packed in a trunk in a Liberty street rooming house. The body had a bul- let wound over the heart. "The face was mutilated, but the corpse was partially identified as that of an Ar- menian known as Frank Jones. TIME TO ACT. Don’t Wait for the Fatal Stages of Kidney lliness.

Cures in Bemidji prove the effective- ness of this great kidney remedy. Mrs. . Edward Jewett, living at 1112 Park Ave., Bemidji, Minn., says: “I am recommending Doan’s Kidney Pills as from'personal experi- ence, I know them to be a reliable remedy. I did not take them as carefully as I might, but still the results received were satisfactory. There was a dull aching in the small of my. back, and while the attacks were at their height, I felt weak and miserable. I finally went to the Owl Drug Store and procured a box of Doan’s Kidney Pills. This rem- edy benefitted me right away, and I was well pleased with the results received.” For sale by all dealers.
