SUBSCRIPTION---$5.00 PER YEAR IN ADVANGE St. Cloud Journal-Press: Frank Day has convictions on.the tariff and subsidy, but when some Demo- crat objects on the ground that they are puttinz a puncture in Gov. Johnson’s boom, Frank loses no time in breaking into print with the con- solation that his views are just his modest own,” and that they ought not to count against as ready an adapter to circumstances as John A Johnson. Says the Little Falls Transcript: “Richard W. Sears of Sears, Roe- buck & Co., Chicago, has retired from the business with the neat sum of $25,000,000. Seventeen years ago he was a telegraph operator at Red- wood Falls, Minn. At that time he conceived the idea of selling $5.40 watches for $11.90 by mail. Won- der how much Morrison county money is wrapped up in that sum. 1t is hard to tell just how much but there is some.” It is more than likely that several Beltrami county dollars are tied up in the amount. CAUSTIC COMMENT. (A. G. Rutledge.] “THE TEMPEST."” We were huddled in the parlor, Not a soul inclined to chat, For my mother and three sisters Each had purchased a new hat. (They'll be fearful things next winter If they're worse than in the fall, For the crowns are inches taller And the prices, too, are tall.) So we shuddered there in silence ‘While dear mother heaved a sigh, Waiting for our darling father— To see what they had to buy. Father came and gazed a moment, Then he spoke—but not in prayer. “T am broke!" at last he shouted As he staggered up the stair. But his baby daughter whispered As she took his empty hand: “Styles will not be changed in halos ‘When we reach the golden strand.” Then he kissed the little maiden For her soothing words of cheer, And he spent the evening singing: “Oh, I would not linger here.” COMPANY NOT RESPONSIBLE . Burglary Insurance Does Not Cover Holdup of Cashler. Louisvillo, Aug. 20.—The Kentucky court of appeals has handed down a decislon in favor of a casualty com- pany in a bank burglary case. The policy exempted the company from lability unless the money was taken from the safe by felonious en- try by the use of tools or explosives. In the case in point the cashier of the bank was forced by the robbers to open the safe at the point of a gun and the bank sought to collect from the insurance company, holding that the contract was complied with be- cause the cashier was in a sense the tool of the burglars. The court admitted that this point was correct, but held that the term “tool” was different from that in- volved in the contract, which referred to burglars’ tools. IN STREET CAR ACCIDENT John R. Walsh, Aged Chicago Banker, Is Injured. Chicago, Aug. 20.—John R. Walsh, the aged banker, now under sentence to the federal prison at Leavenworth for wrecking the Chicago National bank, is reported in a serious condi- tion following a street car accident. In alighting from a car Walsh was thrown to the street, the car wheels narrowly missing his arms. Though no bones were broken it is feared by his friends his advanced age may ren- der his injuries dangerous. PRESIDENT ORDERS CADETS DISMISSED Seven West Pointers Guilty of Hazing Let Out.

WELLMAN SIS FOR NORTH POLE Said to Have: Left Spitzbér- gen on-Aug. 16. TRAVELS IN AN AIRSHIP Chicago Newspaper Man Has Devoted Several Years in Preparation for the Undertaking, but Previous At tempts Failed for Various Reasons. Estimates He Can Make Trip Within Five Days. k 2 Paris, Aug. 20.—A special dispatch has been received here from Trieste saying that according to a telegram received from the captain of the Ital- fan steamer Thalia, now at Hammer- fest, Norway, Walter Wellman left Spitzbergen Aug. 16 in his dirigible balloon bound for the North pole. He had a favorable wind when the start ‘was made. For the past four years Walter Well- man of Chicago has been devoting his time to preparations for an undertak- g to reach the North pole by air- WALTER WELLMAN. ship. He was ai Spitzbergen in 1906 with a balloon, but postponed his de- parture on account of the lateness of the seasou. In 1907 a start was made in the air- ship America, but the vessel encoun- tered a storm and was driven back and the attempt for that year was abandoned. Mr. Wellman left New York May 12 of this year for Spitzbergen, where he has been engaged in completing his preparations for the start he is now sald to have made three days ago. He estimates that under favorable conditions the pole can be reached from Spitzbergen in from two to five days. BODIES MAY NEVER BE FOUND Mountain Climbers Fall to Bottom of 500-Foot Cliff. Tacoma, Wash,, Aug. 20.—The search for the bodies of Joseph Ste- vens of Trenton, N. J,, and T. F. Cal- laghan of Seattle, lost on Mount Rainier, has been temporarily aban- doned. Guide Jules Stampfler and his party have returned and are of the opinion that the bodies will never be found. They discovered tracks leading to- ward a 500-foot ice cliff at the head of ‘White glacier and it is probable the men lie below. The search cannot be made from above, owing to the dan- ger, and it is doubtful whether there is a route to the foot of the cliff. SCORES OF ARRESTS MADE Riot Follows Attempt to Call Strike i at New York. New York, Aug. 20.—The efforts of strike pickets to call out employes of A. W. Cowen & Bros., neckwear man- ufacturers, resulted in a riot in which more than 200 men, women and girls took part. Police reserves were called into action and eighty-five men were placed under arrest. In the battle, which caused great excitement, wo- men’s and girls’ waists were torn into shreds and scores of men and women were badly beaten and bruised. MILKMEN BOYCOTT OHIO CITY Regulations Governing Sale Consid- ered Too Strict. Lorain, 0., Aug. 20.—The milkmen of Lorain have put into effect their threatened boycott of the city as a re- sult of the city council’s severe milk regulations and almost the entire pop- ulation of 30,000 ate breakfast without cream or milk. . The city’s ordinance compels them to buy milk only from farmers whose cows have been put through the tuber- culin test. Government to Pay Deficit. London, Aug. 20.—The debt incurred by Lieutenant E. H. Shackelton and the members.of his South pole expe- dition is to be liquidated by the gov- ernment. Premier Asquith announced in the house of commons that he would ask the house to vote $100,000 for that purpose. RICHER BY MANY MILLIONS Rise in Oil Stock Boosts Rockefel- ler's Wealth. New York, Aug. 20.—John D. Rocke- feller's. fortune accumulates despite himself by leaps and bounds of al- most hundreds of millions. The stock of the Standard Oil company, of which he owns .about $25,000,000 par value, is selling at 712, the highest price it has reached since the panic of 1907. The stock has been rising steadily for a long time and has advanced 322 points from the low price of 390, at which it sold on Nov. 4, 1907. This rise of 822 points represents a galn in Rockefeller’s fortune in less than two years of $79,756,824. The Standard Oil company pays dividends of 40 per cent a year and since 1882, when the company was formed, has paid to its stockholders almost $600,000,000 in dividends, of which John D. Rockefeller has re- ceived about one-quarter. PROBE CITY’S EXPENDITURES Mayor Busse of Chicago Names a Commission. Chicago, Aug. 20.—Mayor Busse has appointed ten members of a commis- sion to investigate the expenditure of the city’s revenue. It is the desire of the city officials to expend large sums In the next few years in improving the transportation facllities and in beautifying the city and an accurate account of the city’s finances is de- sired before any move is made to in crease the bonded indebtedness of the municipality. Under a law passed by the last legislature the city is empow- ered to increase its bonded debt by $16,000,000. MOUNTED TROOPS ~ AFTER STRIKERS cilvity Follows Night of Riol- ing and Disorder. Pittsburg, Aug. 20.—Mounted and using their hickory riot clubs mem- bers of the Pennsylvania state con- stabulary are keeping strikers on the move in the Pressed Steel Car com- pany strike zone at McKees Rocks. It is estimated over 500 shots were fired during the night and early morning by strikers and sympathizers who had gathered on the O’Donovan bridge near the woriks. During the firing the troopers and other police remained inside t:e mill, orders having been is- sued to take mno action unless the strikers attempted to enter the plant. The constabulary was out on the streets later, however, compelling the strikers to keep moving. Troopers took possession of the O’Donovan bridge and efforts of the strikers to congregate at any one point were met with galloping horses and riot sticks. Strike leaders explained the shoot- ing and disorder. They are of the opinion that the workmen are being held in the mills against their wishes. The shooting, they say, was for the purpose of bringing the constabulary from the plant to the bridge and thus give the new men an opportunity to escape from the works. Later in the day alleged strike sym- pathizers opened fire on the steamer P. M. Pfeil, which was bringing fifty imported men across the Ohio river to the mill. Over 100 shots were di- rected at the steamer. No one was injured, although many of the bullets struck the boat. MANY STATES REPRESENTED Commissioners on Uniform Laws Meet at Detroit.

The committee report embod- fed a draft of a proposed statute pro- viding for a uniform bill of lading, proposed laws to make the stock of corporations transferable as a medium of exchange and proposed laws gov- erning sales.

NOT WRITING SPEECHES Only Through “Unconscious Cerebra- tion™ Is the Chief Executive Prepar- ing for the Numerous Talks He Is Scheduled to Make—Already at Work on a Rough Draft of His Mes- sage to Congress. Beverly, Mass, Aug. 20.—Only through “unconsclous cerebration” is President Taft preparing for his many speeches to be made on the long Western and Southern trip. By this same method the president also is working on his annual message to congress. The president has thought out the general plan of his message; he has several cabinet officers at work on the details of certain phases of it and he will not take up the work of assembling the document until a week or so before congress is to gather. The message is not likely to be a long one. The personnel of the president’s traveling party has been completed. ‘While the trip promises to develop into the longest ever made by a pres- ident the party unquestionably will be the smallest. Besides the president there’ will be John Hays Hammond, président of the League of Repub- lican Clubs; Captain Archibald W. Butt, military aide; Wendell W. Mischler, assistant secretary; Dr. J. J. Richardson of Washington, D. C.; James Sloan, Jr., and L. C.. Wheeler of the secret service and Major Ar- thur Brooks, the president’s confiden- tial messenger, who just now is fight- Ing with the red army of invasion about Boston as commanding officer of the battalion of colored troops with the District of Columbia national guard. Six newspaper men will ac- company the president throughout the entire trip. The party will travel in two private cars attached, for the greater part of the time, to regular trains.

Present indications are that the New Orleans convention of the assocfation will be the largest ever held. RESULTS ARE ENCOURAGING Agrlcultural Department Experiment. ing With Imported Plants. ‘Washington, Aug. 20.—During the past year the department of agricul- ture has brought into this country cver 2,000 carefully selected plants from various parts of the world with a view to diversifying the products of the soil in this country. Especial re- gard has been paid to the introduc- tion, of plants that will grow in sec- tions in which either the drought or the severe cold has. made it nearly impossible to obtain crops of any .{ kind. These plants have been placed in the hands of private experimenters and official plant breeders., The re- sults thus far obtained in domesticat- ing them have been very encouraging. END.
