A Montana exchange says of the gitls’ team and their ability to play: “The ' Chicago Ladies’ baseball -|team known as the Bloomer Girls made a very favorable impression while here for the Sunday afternoon game with the Shoshone team. Miss Bertie Carleton, captain and proprietor, has been in the business 16 years and for a starter in her business career pocketed $11,000 in Cuba. Hers is the original ladies team of Chicago and they all play ball with the best and that without lowering their standing as ladies. They carry an immense stretch of of wall canvas and everything nec- essary for a successtul campaign. "The captain being absent ona business mission during the time of was taken by Miss Florence Bel- mont, a brunette of very pleasing address.” Improvements at Steam Laundry. The recent installing of modern machinery in the Bemidji Steam Laundry has given to J. J. Trask, proprietor, one of the most thor- oughly up-to-date laundries in the state and local people realize that Mr. Trask has shown much enter-] prise in the manner in which he has managed the laundry since he took hold of the business. Mr. Trask has installed a Bishop cuff and collar starcher, a Bishop double-roller band ironer, a Sinclair dampening machine and a steel roller collar machine. These machines are placed at a large outlay of money but they en- able Mr. Trask to give to the laun- dry patrons in Bemidji and vicinity the very best service. By the use of the new collar machine Mr. Trask is enabled to turn out 1,000 collars in an hour, all of which are ironed in a very work- manlike manner. Mr. Trask is entitled to much the game here, her place on 1st base |- credit for.giving to Bemidji a metro- politan establishment. “‘Uncle Ben” Fullerton Near Death’s Door. Bemidji people who have an acquaintance with members of the traveling fraternity who “make” this section will be surprised and grieved to learn that ‘the veteran commercial traveler, “Uncle Ben” Fullerton, is seriously ill and that his death is expected at any time." T Says the Craokstan Times: “H. G. Ebbighausen yesterday received a letter from Mrs. B. B. Fullerton, in which 'she stated that her husband was failing very fast. ‘Uncle Ben’ was known throughout this secticn, -having been a well known and popular traveling man for many years, and it will be with deep rearet that his serious condi- tion is learned. “A telegram announcing his death is expected at any moment. “For years when in Crookston he had an office on the second floor of the Peake Block, and was a very warm friend of ‘Mr. Ebbighausen’s.” “Uncle Ben” was one of the best- liked travelers who ever visited this section. He was very prominent in the order of Elks, and he was among the ‘banch” who visited Bemidji on the occasion of the annual state meeting held here last year. Laboring Men Scarce. C. J. Johnson of the Johnson & An- derson Employment agency, states that these days he continually has a sign out “Men wanted”—and it is impossible to supply the demand for male help. B Mr. Johnson says that men are wanted at both of the sawmills in this city, for both the M. & I. and G. N. railway companies, for the Red River Lumber company and for many other business interests, and he is “kept on the go” all the time trying to come somewhere near supplying the demand. The smallest wages paid by any concern now to laboring men is $2 per day, and the demand greatly exceeds the ‘supply, in every stance. in- Special Meetings.

The store building owned by Harry Bowers, which is located on his farm in-the Town of Eckles, was totally destroyed by fire early Thursday morning, t(he fire having gained such headway before being discovered that the building and its contents were a mass of ruins before anything could be done towards|- stopping the flames. Mr. Bowers was. awakened in the morning at about 4 o’clock by the falling timbers, and when he got out to the store it was nothing but a mass of flames with no possible chance of saving anything connected with “the store building, and he turned his attention to preventing the spread of the fire to his other buildings. A large quantity of goods, which had been stored in the store to- gether with valuable papers, includ- ing the books of the treasurer of School District No. 13, were des- troyed, X It is not known at this time at what figure Mr. Bowers places his loss.

SPANIARDS ARE DRIVEN BACK On Being Reinforced They Compel the Moors to Retire. Melilla, Morocco, Aug. 6.—The Moors who attacked a Spanish com- missary convoy obliged the Spaniards to retire until the arrival of reinforce- ments. The Spaniards then advanced and drove the enemy back. Alhucemas, Morocco, Aug. 6.—The Riffs are preaching a holy war against Spain, A picturesque feature of their arguments is a revival of the old legend according to which the Riff Arabs, who are descendants of the Moors driven out of Spain by Isabella and Ferdinand, are destined to clear the Spaniards out of Africa, cross into Spain and reconquer the country over ‘which Boabdll, the last king of Gre- nada, ruled. Every Riff family is be- ing visited by the priests and told that the time for the fulfillment of this legend is now at hand and urged to enter the war to regain the Alhambra. INITIAL COST ~ $50,000,000 Gigantlo Steel Plant to Be Erected in City of Mexico.

MAGVEAGH'S ACTION GOMES AS SURPRISE Galls a Halt on Minting of New Lincoln Pennies. Washington, Aug. 8.—Becretary of the Treasury MacVeagh announces that he has decided to have the mint- ing" of the new Lincoln pennies stopped for the present and that new dies will be prepared as soon as pos- sible, elimifiating the initials of the designer, which now appear so prom- inently, and substituting the single initial “B” in an obscure part of the design. The secretary said that none of the pennies fssued so far would be called in, but that the minting would be stopped because a sufficient supply was on hand. The initials “V. D. B.” are those of the designer, V. D. Bren- ner of New York. The single initial, in an inconspicuous place, will be left in the new dies as recognition of Mr. Brenner’s work. This decisfon as to changing the dles created much surprise, as it had been annoumced at the treasury de- partment that the new coins would bo continued in circulation for the pres- ent, at least, and that the use of the initials on them was merely in line with a custom that had prevailed for years. The prominent position given the initials, however; awakened wide- spread criticism and Secretary Mac- Veagh's action followed further con- sideration of the matter. STRIKE CAUSES ~FO0D SHORTAGE First Result of Labor Con- flict in Sweden. - PRICES ADVANCE RAPIDLY Figures Already Prohlibitive Except for Persons of Ample Means—Thou- eands of Strikers Go Into Camp. and Are Llving Practically on Fish. Estimated That Three Hundred Thousand Men Are Now ldle. Btockholm, Aug. 6.—Stockholm 18 suffering seriously from a shortage of food, which, so far, is the most nota- ble result of the labor confifot that reached its acute stages the beginning of this week. The stock of bread al- ready is almost exhausted and meat is scarce and expensive. The restau- rants have raised their prices and the figures are prohibitive except for per- sons possessed of ample means. The strikers themselves are living prac- tically on fish. Thousands of them are ocamping out, some in tents but many without shelter, on Nhe shores of Lake Malar and the islands of the archipelago, where they spend their time in angling. The authorities have tdken charge of the milk supply of the clty and soldiers are distributing milk in limited quantities and supervising the sale from milk cars at the railroad stations. The deliveries of ice have ceased. This is especially trying, as the weather is unusually hot. At Gothenburg work at all the slaughter ‘houses has come to an end and the general strike committee-has called upon the railroad men and the printers to join the movement. Three Hundred Thousand Out. The ranks of the strikers are being augmented hour by hour and, accord- ing to the leaders of the movement, their total now reaches 300,000, about one-twentieth of the population of the country. Paupers from the state poorhouses have been enlisted to replace the strik- ing grave diggers and undertakers and ‘Instead of hearses stretchers are be- ing used to carry corpses through the streets to the cemeterles. The fu- nerals proceed. under military escort. The employes of the gas works and the electric light plants have gone out on strike and as a result military guards have been placed over the establishments. The authorities contend that this protection s necessary and assert that they have frustrated an attempt to blow up the gas works with dyna- mite. A gunboat has been stationed opposite the gas works and no boats are allowed to pass between it and the shore.

Mrs. Donald, librarian fighting what the city and state health departments declare is the worst epi- demic to infants known to Minnesota. The disease is known as anterior poliomyelitis, or infantile paralysis, and when it does not kill it invariably leaves the victims cripples. The disease germ is supposed to be carried in the dust from the streets to the susceptible organs of the little children. Thirty or more cases are scattered throughout the outlying dis- tricts, which are not sprinkled. A special meeting of the council was held and it was decided to sprin- kle the entire city—alleys, streets and sidewalks—in an effort to stop the malady. Winona is now experiencing a drought, having been without rain for more than a month. CONTROVERSY MORE ACUTE Japan Said to Have Issued Ultimatum to China. Tokio, Aug. 6.—The controversy be- tween Chine and Japan over the An- tung-Mukden railway is the principal topic discussed by the newspapers and many publications include a statement that Japan has issued an ultimatum to China. There is reason to believe that the statement is untrue, but that Japan is bringing great pressure to bear upon the government at Peking to prevent such action as would necessitate an ultimatum in dealing with the prob- lems involved. OVERCOME BY SEWER GAS Workmen In Fatal Accident at St. Paul. St. Paul, Aug. 6.—John Seagren was killed, Hans Anderson will die and John Hendrickson is in a serious con- dition as the result of being overcoma by gas while working at the foot of a fortyfoot sewer.
