There is no doubt that. our city, with the united efforts of its enter- prising citizens, can greatly increase its business and enhance the value of property. Everything indicates a forward movement. The high standard of morality that has suc- ceeded the frontier roughness of early days is inducing many to look this way with a view to locat- ing. Our excellent schools is a feature that is greatly ‘appreciated by the best people of this section. As a trading and shipping point, Bemidji is already ahead of any place in north-central Minnesota. No place of itssize in this section receives greater shipments of mer- chandise or has greater freight traffic for the railways, and Bemidji is rap- idly being recognized as the real railway hub of northern Minnesota. Our busines houses are being trans- formed into beautiful blocks, and residences into modern dwellings and cottages. Now, asmany are thinking and talking of coming thither to locate, let all give them words of encourage- ment and hearty welcome to this goodly l1nd of pea ‘e and abundance. Encourage those who are worthy, whether they have capital or not. Labor is worth money. Those who have money will buy lots, build houses or remodal old ones. Let us work and stimulate every enterprise by giving it all the friend- ly encouragement we can, and unite our industry, intelligence and capital in a common cause for the good of ourcity. Let uscultivate a public spirit and work more and talk less. Encourage our local authorities in making improvements, when there are funds available for such purpose. Speak up, speak well, talk encourag- ingly of Bemidji and its bright prospects. It is these many little things that make a city grow. Nature has showered upon us her choiciest blessings, and with perfect unity and effort for the good of our common cause, great will be the result, CAUSTIC COMMENT. (A. G. Rutledge.] The man who edits the average newspaper in this section cannot avoid treading on somebody’s toes continually; must expect to be censured often for unintentioal fail- ures; must expect hard work and little thanks; must expect to be called a coward because he does not “pitch into” everything that somebody thinks is wrong, and a fool if he speaks out too plainly on public evils; he must expect to be called upon to grind other people’s axes—and turn the grindstone himself. Still, we think it is one of the best professions on earth; the one in which the earnest man can do the most good to his fellow man, and in which an honorable man can wield much power for good. As to the argument over how a woman shall ride a horse, we can only say that the best authorities are “divided.” A member of J. Pierpont Mor- gan’s family went up in a balloon yesterday. High finance (?) BALANCE OF MARKET WEAK Sensational Advance in Union Paclfic Stocks. New York, Aug. 14—Unlon Pacific common stock touched 215 in the stock market and the preferred stock rose to 118, advances over night of 6 points for the common and 10 points for the preferred. The general stock market seems to look with growing suspicion on the pyrotechnics of Union Paclfic. Stocks were sold freely under cover of the Unlon Pacific movement and with in- creasing urgency. The close was de- cidedly weak except in Union Pacific and prices were down 1 to 2 points all through the list. UNDER COVER OF HEAVY FOG Four Hundred Strikebreakers Landed at McKees Rocks. Pittsburg, Aug. 14.—Taking advan- tage of a heavy fog which enshrouded the Ohio river the Pressed Steel Car company landed about 400 strike- breakers in the plant at McKees Rocks. Shortly after the arrival of the strikebreakers the 140 = Hudson River company men from New York quit work in a body. Sheriff Gumbert has resumed the evictlon of the strikers’ families. He s being aided by twenty-five negroes, POWER SITE * _ GRAB DENIED Land Office Official Issues Statement. NO FILINGS IN MONTANA Declares That at No Time Since Sec- retary Ballinger Assumed Control of the Interior Department Has Any Individual or Corporation Secured Any Government Holdings of That Nature in That State. Washington, Aug. 14—“At no time during the administration of Secre- tary Ballinger have any power sites been filed upon in Montana.” These words are used in a statement issued by Acting Assistant Commissioner Schwartz of the general land office. The statement, which is significant at this time in view of the discussion which has arisen over water power sites, was made as a denial of a story which alleged that in the Bozeman (Mont.) district one Jeremiah Colling on June 11 filed on 15,868 acres of land valuable for power sites and in the interest of large power companies, The assistant commissioner says that neither Collins nor the Collins Land company has made any such filings at Bozeman or elsewhere. Mr. Schwartz says: “The only filing made at Bozeman on June 11 was made by President Ramsey of the Riverside Land and Live Stock company and was an ap- plication to amend an original selec- tion made in 1898, aggregating a total area of 158.68 acres. The newspaper correspondent, by omitting the dec- imal mark showing the sixty-eight hundredths of an acre, converted the 168 acres into 15,000. This 158 acres covers two small springs in an arid country and is intended by the live stock company to acquire a place to water sheep. Ramsey Is not in the prower business, but is a banker in Helena and a stockman. “As to Ramsey’s application on June 11 for 158.68 acres it was rejected by the local land office and the rejection sustained in this office for the double- reason that it was within raflroad lim- its and stands withdrawn for reclama- tion purposes.” INVOLVING - ALASKA LANDS Said Charges Against Ballinger Will Be Lald Before Taft. = Spokane, Wash., Aug. 14.—Friends of the reclamation service are circu- lating the report among delegates to the National Irrigation congress that charges of a serious nature against Secretary of the Interior Ballinger are to be laid before President Taft. The charges involve what is known as the Cunningham group of ‘coal land entries in Alaska. The allegations include the names of several individ- uals, including that of a United States senator. TO PREVENT MONOPOLIES Additional Water Power Sites With- drawn From Entry. Washington, Aug. 14 —What is said to be the largest number of acres of land withdrawn for temporary water power sites in the history of the in- terior department was made when Acting Secretary Wilson withdrew 87,360 acres along the Colorado river in Utah. The land in question was withdrawn to prevent “monopolies” and with a view to procure legisla- tion from congress to preserve the land to the government. TOWN NEARLY WIPED OUT About One Hundred Houses Burned at Milton, Del. Milton, Del, Aug. 14.—Almost the entire town of Milton has been de- stroyed by fire. Nearly 100 houses, a lumber yard and a bank building were destroyed. The loss will exceed $100,- 000. Several hundred persons were made homeless by the fire. Ald was sum- moned from surrounding points, but owing to a wreck on the Delaware railroad fire apparatus could not be brought to Milton in time to be of much use. Only twelve houses es- caped the flames. “UNCLE TOM” SOLD THERE Courthouse at Washington, Ky., Struck by Lightning. Lexington, Ky., Aug. 14.—The court- house at Washington, Mason county, in which “Uncle Tom,” of “Uncle Tom’s Cabin” fame, was sold, was struck by lightning and destroyed.

Kenosha, Wis., Aug. 14—Deeds and mortgages have been filed here which disclose that the powder miils of the Laflin-Rand company, located in all parts of the United States, have been sold to the powder trust for a con- sideration of approximately $2,200,000, The plants included in the sale are those at Pleasant Prairie and Platte- ville, in Wisconsin; the Fontanet and Dorner plants, in Indiana; the Colum- bus and Pennsylvania mills, in Kan- sas; the Haskell and Wayne.mills, in New Jersey; the Empire and Shagitl coke mills, in New York, and the:Ne- mours_mills, in West Virginia.

London, Aug. 14.—It is rumored that the Duke and Duchess of Marl- borough are.about to become recon- ciled, owing to the, intervention of friends, among whom Mrs. Anthony Drexel is prominently mentioned. The reunion, should it be effected, will not come as a surprise, as it has DUCHESS OF MARLBOROUGH. been noticed that the duke and duch- ess have been meeting lately more frequently than would seem likely in & case of continued estrangement. The duchess now is at her country place in Devonshire, in which county the duke is said to be visiting. REGULAR SOLDIERS NOW ON THE SCENE Troops From Winnipeg Arrive at Fort William. Fort William, Ont., Aug. 14.—The presence of armed militia In the strike district has had the desired effect and disorders have ceased. Regular sol dlers, the Canadian Mounted Rifles, have arrived from Winnipeg and re- leved the citizen soldiers. Each of the regulars is armed with 300 rounds of ammunition and, under the experi- enced directlon of Colonel Steele, wha was in charge of the South African constabulary for three years following the close of the Boer war, it is felt the situation is well in hand. Sol diers have begun a search of every house in the forelgn quarter for weapons. These must first be secured before the ringleaders are deported. Everything_is quiet, but it has the appearance of an armed truce. There are- fifteen wounded in hospitals and several in their homes as a result of Thursday’s shooting.

New Minlster, Although Educated at Home, Is in Thorough -Sympathy * With the Policy of Adopting’ West- ern Ideas—Retiring Minister. Want- ed in Peking to Complete Task Be- gun by Him Several Years Ago. Washington, Aug. 14.—That there will be a comaplete change in the Chi- nese legation here was made evident by the receipt of a cablegram recall ing Dr. Yen Wel Chin, second secre- tary, to Peking. Dr: Yen is a gradu- ate of the University of Virginia and came here with Mr. Wu. His ac- quaintance with "Amerlcan affairs made him a prominent factor in Mr. ‘Wuw's regime. Dr. Yen's sympathy for the reforms of China Was one of his distinguishing traits. Minister Wu, who s now on his mission to Peru, will hasten to Wash ington, although he did not expect tu return here when he left until Octo ber. Officials who are close to the Chi- nese legation, while disavowing any knowledge of the reasons for Mr. Wu's recall, believe that he will be engaged at Peking in concluding the codifica tion of the laws of China, which work was begun by him when he was first recalled several years ago. Chang Yin Tang, who will succeed Minister Wu, is regarded here as in perfect accord with Dr. Wu In the latter's general views on the future development of China. Both the pres ent minister and his successor are of the progressive element. While Chang Yiz Tang was educated at home and while he speaks but little English he is sald to be In thorough sympathy with the policy of adopting Western ideas, KILLS DAUGHIER AND SELF Mother Discouraged by Struggle for Existence. Philadelphia, Aug. 14.—Discouraged by a desperate struggle for existence Mrs. Matilda Dowd, aged thirty-eight years; waited until her daughter was asleep and then turned on the gas in their bedroom.

Peru, Ind., Aug. 14.—Harry Wilson and Harry Hauk, two young men were killed by lightning during n se- vere storm here. The Two had jusgt driven into tho barn at Wilson’s house when the bnilding was struck. T.ight ning set fire to the barn, but the bodies were removed by nelghbors. Deafness Cantiot Be Cured Dy local applications, as they caunot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to curo deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucus lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed "you have a rambling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closcd, Deafness is'the result, and unless the inflamation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever: nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces. We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Doafness (caused by catarrah) that cannot be cured by Hall's' Catarrh Oure. Send for circulars free. F. J. CHENEY & 00., Toledo, O.
