Cass Lake, Aug. 16.—(Special to Pioneer. ) —The register and the receiver of the local U. S. Land Office have just received word from the department of the inter- ior that the land in the Winni- bigoshish, Cass Lake, Leech Lake and Chippewa of Mississippi Indian reservations, not included in the National Forest, created by act of May 23rd, 08 (35 Stat. 268), and not yet opened to homestead entry shall be excluded from entry for a period of six months com- mencing September 13th next The lands were at first advertised to be opened on the 13th of March last, but the interior department postponed the opening for six months for the purpose of facilitating the exchange of allotment from lands within the limits of such national forest to lands outside thereof.. This change was made on the recommendation of the commissioner of Indian affairs; and on July 26th 1909 the Commioner of Indian affairs reported thatthe change could not be perfected in that length of time and requested that an addi- tional six months be given. The departmeut of Interior has approved the request of the commissioner and has so instructed the officials who have anything to do in the matter. We Work Too Hard. Lady Headfort during her American tour said in New York that she ap- proved of international marriages. “They correct us,” she explained. “Our Englishmen work too little, your American men work too much, and the International marriage tends to bring about a happy mean. Your men do work too much, you know,” sald Lady Headfort. “I have an English friend who attended the funeral of one of your hardest workers, a multi- millionaire. My friend’s wife said rather ‘bitterly to him at the funeral: “‘How you have missed your oppor- tunities, my love! Place yourself be- side Mr. Ritch there. You are both of the same age. You both began life to- gether. Yet you are a poor man, while he died a multimillionaire.” “‘Yes,” said the English husband. ‘There Ritch lies, dead of nervous pros- tration, without one single penny in his pocket, and heve I stand, hale and hearty, with a wallet in my coat con- taining quite a hundred dollars.’ Declined In Rebuttal.

When did it happen?” “Just after she got Into the carriage.” BIG SUIT ACAINST TOBAGC TRUST Independent Concern Asks One Nillion Damages. PERSECUTION IS CHARGED Action of Norfolk (Va) Company, Which Is Backed by All Other In- dependents, Alleges “Sufferance of Nlegal Practices to a Point Past En- durance”—Charge Made That New Tariff Bill Favors the Trust. Norfolk, Va., Aug. 16.—Alleging il- legal practices by the tobacco trust, designed, it is charged, to destroy the plaintif’s independent business, the ‘Ware-Kramer Tobacco company has brought suit in the United States cir- cuit court at Raleigh, N. (., against the American Tobacco company, claiming $1,000,000 damages. Frank D. Ware of Norfolk, presi- dent of the plaintiff company, whose factory was formerly located in Wil- son, N. C, is said to have the support of all other independent tobacco man- ufacturers in his action, which al- leges the sufferance of illegal prac- tices by the trust to a point past en- durance and asks protection against “unrelenting persecution.” It i3 charged that the trust has brought undue influence to bear in congress for the passage of laws hurt- ful to independent tobacco manufac- turers and that the new national tar- iff bill favors the trust as against the independents, . KNEW OF MONEY SHIPMENT Four Men Follow Special Express Mes- senger From Chicago. Logansport, Ind., Aug. 16.—Four strangers who had followed from Chi- cago a special express messenger guarding $400,000 cash being shipped to the Tirst National bank of Tipton, Ind., which is to be reopened, ran from the police in this city and es- caped.

The thirteen wounded men at the hospitals are on the road to recovery. CONSUMER WILL PAY MORE La Follette Says Tariff Revision Was Upward. ‘ Madison, Wis., Aug. 16.—“So far as the price of any article of common use is affected by the rates fixed in the Payne-Aldrich tariff law the cost will be increased to the consumer. Mark this statement.” In this sentence Senator La Follette sums up this analysis of the new tar- iff law in the latest issue of La Fol- lette’s Weekly Magazine. The “pro- gressive” senator from Wisconsin de- clares that “the kind of revision de- manded, promised, accepted, voted for and decreed at the polls has not been even partly complied with;” that the duties on articles of general use have heen treated to a “sleight of hand re- duction” that will permit the charg- ing of exorbitant prices and that the American people will judge the tariff law by its effect upon the bills which the consumer pays. BOSTON THREATENED BY HOSTILE FORGE Thousands of Troops Engage in Mimic Warfare. Boston, Aug. 16.—Governor Draper was theoretically startled with news that a hostile force had landed on the southern coast of Massachusetts and was threatening the military safety of Boston. The landing marked the be- ginning of the most extensive game of mimic war that has ever been played in the Northern states. In accordance with the rules laid down by the war department at Wash- ington Governor Draper at once called upon Adjutant General Bingham to de- fend Boston against the threatened at- tack. Without delay 7,000 troops un- der the command of Brigadier Gen- eral Pew were ordered to the front. The attacking “force consisted of several companies of the United States coast artillery from the forts about New York and a number of regiments of militia from Connecti- GENERAL TASKER H. BLISS. cut, New York, New Jersey and the District of Columbia under the com- mand of Major General Tasker H. Bliss, U. S. A. The sham battles which will now be fought in Bristol and Plymouth counties hetween the blue army of defense and the red army of attack will dectermine whether Massachu- setts, and especially Boston, is suffl- ciently protected against a foreign foe. It has already been demonstrated to the satisfaction of the military au- thorities that no hostile fleet can suc- cessfully run past the forts in Boston harbor and the object of the present maneuvers is to ascertain whether such a foe could successfully make a rear attack upon the cit; TRACKLESS TROLLEY CARS System Working Successfully on the Continent. Washington, Aug. 16.—Trackless trolley cars for suburban and inter- urban trafic are being operated suc- cessfully in Austria, Northern Italy and the valley of the Rhine, says Consul Hamms, at Hull, Eng., in for- warding to the state department a re- port made by the city council of Leeds, Eng. The council, through two of its members, investigated three of the systems on the Continent. The vehicles differ little from the single deck motor omnibus, except that they add a means of collecting current like that used for overhead cables on or- dinary electric street cars. Plunge for Freedom Fatal. New York, Aug. 16.—Attempting to Jump from the window of a moving train on the Third avenue elevated railroad to escape from detectives who had him under arrest on a charge of burglary William O’Brien was held by the heels and dragged for nearly a block with his head bumping on the railroad ties.

Chicago, Ang. 16.—For the first time since 1907 the railroads will face an alarming shortage of cars for the han- dling of the immeunse grain crop be- fore Oct. 1 if the present rate of re- ductions in the number of surplus freight cars .continues, according to Arthur Hale, general agent of the American Railway aseociation. Sim- ilar views were expressed by many railroad officials, while others were confident that the large number of box cars recently ordered by the West- ern roads would prevent a shortage of equipment. VALENTINE’S PLAN SUCCEEDS Competitive Bids for Grazing Lands Brings Good Results.

When two weather prophets disa- gree does It argue error or incompe- tence in either? No, says the author of “Storms and Storm Signals” in Yachting. The data upon which they base their predictions do not always bear one interpretation. Thus: Because the clouds Indicate weather in a different manner according to. the geographical location of the observer, and also because they are in them- selves but byproducts of the weather and are not causes, weather predic- tions from clouds at sea should be tak- en with plenty of reservation of judg- ment. To say, for instance, that at a “red sky at night sailors delight” is very tuneful and possibly truthful ‘where knowledge is conspicuous by its aebsence, but a red sky at night may mean almost anything from a surplus of moisture in the air, meaning prob- ably rains, to a voleanie eruption 2,000 miles away which has sent great clouds of dust into the air, causing the red color by reflection and refraction W the light rays. The Eyes. “Long, almond shaped eyes, with thick and creamy lids covering half the pupil and with a forehead that is full above the brows—there you have the eye of the man of genius.” The speaker’s own eyes answered that de- scription strikingly, but he was far from being a man of genius, being, in fact, a magazine cdltor. “Protruding . eyes,” he went on, ‘“show mental and bodily weakness. Eyes close together denote cunning. Those far apart denote liberality. Thin lashes without any upward curve to them and thin brows poorly marked are signs of melancholy and indec- slon. The eyes of a voluptuary move slowly under heavy lids. Those of a miser are small, deep sunken and blue, get In a bony and perpendicular fore- head. The most beautiful eyes—large, brillfant and clear, ghancing and flash- ing with a rapid motion—the most beautiful eyes denote elegance of taste, gayety, some selfishness and a great interest in the opposite sex.”—New York Press. Like Father Like Son. Four-year-old Clyde was a precocious youngster—very talkative and a close observer. He and his father were strolling through the meadows one morning when Clyde observed for the first time some tadpoles in a pond. He waded In and cried out, “Oh, father, what are they?” “Tadpoles, son,” the father replied. “Please, father, let's take them all home with us, then come back and find the mamma and papa, and we'll have the whole family in our pond at home.” The father explained how impossible this would be, and as they walked on & few steps a large, ugly frog hopped across their path. Clyde's father safd: “Look, son. Perhaps there is the pa- pa” Clyde was very thoughtful. He look- ed at the frog, then at his father, then at himself and exclalmed: “Well, father, was there ever so much difference between me and you?’ —Delineator. e Curious School Customs. Mexican schoolmasters show their appreciation of a pupll's efforts In a curious manner. The diligent student 18 allowed to smoke a cigar during the lesson. When the whole class has glv- en satisfaction, permission is given for a general smoke, and even the little Mexicans are allowed to light a clga- rette for the occasion. Needless to say, the schoolmaster himself smokes a clgar of a size and quality proportion- ate to his superior position. But the scholars are not allowed to drink, this privilege being accorded to the master only. On his desk he always keeps a bottlé of liquor, which, when empty, oceasions much dispute among the parents of his scholars, as it is consid- ered an honor to be able to fill the schoolmaster’s bottle.—London Stand- ard.

A British licutenant in the Second battalion, Lincolushire regiment, who was called Leo Quintus Tollemache- Tollemache de Orellana Plantagenet Tollemache-Tollemache, gave notice by means of advertisement that he re- nounced the names of Quintus Tolle- mache-Tollemache Plantagenet Tolle- mache and should henceforth upon all occasions and at all times sign and use and be called and known by the name of Leo de Orellana Tollemache only.
