Cow Testing Association. - The Dairy Division at the Minne- sota Experimental Station is carry- ing on a very important work among the dairy farmers of the -state in organizing testing associations. The general plan is similar to theone that has been followed in Michigan with such good results. o ‘The patrons of a local creamery keep a record of the individual cows in their herds, weighing the milk and feed once each week. Samples for testing are also taken one day each week and these samples are tested at the creamery at the end of the month. All necessary blanks are furnished free by the Dairy Division and at the end of the month . the re- cords are sent in for compilation. When possible, the representative of the Division will be present when the samples are brought in for test- ing and he is qualified to discuss dairying topics with the patrons. At the end of the year the monthly results will be tabulated aud each record-ot each cow in his herd. This will enable him " to determine which cows are most profitable. This isa valuable work for our dairy farmers |: and should be greatly enlarged upon. H. P. Botting Will Open Store. H. P. Botting hasdecided to engage in business in Bemidji, on.

DINERS LEAVE BY BACK WAY 8trikers Demonstrate in Front of Mc- Kees Rocks Restaurant. Pittsburg, Aug. 21.—New men to the number of 140 were brought from the East to the Pressed Steel company’s [ plant at McKees Rocks. As the men were being taken into the mill a large erowd of men and women gathered. Half a dozen shots were fired into-the pir by strike sympathizers before the state constabulary charged into the crowd. No one was injured. - Over 1,500 strikers and their fam- ilies surrounded a restaurant pat- ronized by deputy sheriffs and the clerical force of the plant. Mud and stones were thrown, breaking the win- dows of the restaurant. The denion- stration. caused most of the diners to leave by back windows. Efght deputy sheriffs fired their revolvers into the air to frighten the crowd, but all held their ground until a squad of mount- ed state police dispersed them. CAR PORTER FINDS FORTUNE Plcks Up Roll of $340,000 in Railway Carriage. Rome, Aug. 21.—A railway employe at Benevento found, in a railway car- riage he was cleaning, @ box filled with bank notes to the value of 1, 700,000 lire, or $340,000. He handed the box to the station master. So far nothing has been found to indicate, the owner of the notes. The carriage in which the box was found had come from Calabria, the center of the quake zone, and one theory is that the notes may have been the spoil of thieves, which, through fright or otherwise, had been lost. _ Little Girl Burned to Death. St. Vincent, Minn.,, Aug. 21.—The fact that little children played with matches resulted in the death of Annie, the two-year-old daughter of William Russell. While holding a burning match she ignited her dress and was so badly burned that she died in a few minutes. i{patron will be furnished with the RAILROADS ARE . STILL TIED UP Five Thonsaud Tourists Ma- rooned in Colorado. TRAVEL UNUSUALLY HEAVY Floods Caught Many 'Trainloads of Eastern People at Various Peints in the District Affected and They Can. not Get Out in Either Direction. Scores of Houses in West Denver Inundated by Overflow. Denver, Aug. 21.—With floods in many sections of the state it is esti- mated that - 5,000 tourists are ma- rooned in the various towns along the Denver and Rio Grande and Colorado Midland roads: Travel was unusually heavy at the time of the floods and for this reason scotes of Eastern vis- itors are tied up at small statons. At Salida, on the Denver and Rio Grande, at the western end of the Royal gorge, 1,000 tourists are blocked. Tracks are washed out in the gorge and beyond Salida, too, so that they cannot get out either way. Many of these are returning Grand Army men and their families. The railroads do not estimate their losses, but they will run more than $200,000. Cloudbursts are responsible for most of the trouble. The water rushing through Purga- toire river washed out several bridges and the tricks of the Colorado and Southern 14ilroad were torn away in places. A force of men was put to work piling up sandbags to keep the river in its channel, the concrete wall having givel jway in many places. ‘Watched by thousands of persons, who had hurried to the banks of the river upon hearing of the flood com- ing down from Lake George, the Platte river again overflowed its banks in the lowlands in West Denver, flooding scores of cottages and causing great apprehension of another disaster. Warned by mounted officers, how- ever, the people living in the bottoms had plenty of time to move their be- longings and the damage was slight. HITCHCOCK URGES ECONOMY Addresses Postmasters’ Convention at Toledo, O. Toledo, 0., Aug. 21.—Addressing the convention of the National Associa- tlon of First Class Postmasters Post- master General Frank H. Hitchcock made public announcement of a policy of strict economy throughout the de- partment, with which he requested the postmasters to comply. He said: “You are aware that the president has requested each member of his cabinet to curtail the expenditures of his department. I am anxious to make a good showing in the postoffice de- partment. T want each postmaster to use every endeavor of reasonable economy in his office.

' MANY FAMILIES HOMELESS Thirty or More Houses Destroyed at Portsmouth, Va. Norfolk, Va., Aug. 21.—Fire believed to have been of incendiary origin de- stroyed thirty or more houses in the Portsmouth suburban tenement dis- trict. The block bounded by Duke, Effingham, Brighton and Goen streets was wiped out and the flames also spread to property adjoining. A com- pany of United States marines had to be sent out from the harracks at the navyyards to assist in stopping the spread of the flames. Many poor fam- ilies were made homeless, losing prac- tically their all. REGARDING ALASKAN LANDS Statement lssued by Acting Secre- tary Plerce. Washington, Aug. 21.—Until now officials of the interfor department have declined to make any public statements relative to the part that has been taken by Secretary Ballinger In the case of the Cunningbam coal entries in Alaska. There has been considerable comment on this matter and Acting Secretary Frank Pierce said: “Soon after Secretary Ballinger as- sumed office some phase of these cases came up officially before the de- partment. The secretary called for me and stated that he had been called Into consultation about the cases be- fore his appointment and that he would have nothing whatever to do with them and directed that a1l mat- ters relating to them should b¢ han- dled entirely by myself and the com- missioner of the general land office. Since the secretary assumed office he has had nothing whatever.to do with these cases and all matters relating to them have been handled either direct- ly by myself or through the general land office.” ALARMING REPORTS LACK FOUNDATION Harriman’s Condition by No Means Critical, Paris, Aug. 21.—Despite the many alarming reports that have been ca- bled from this side about the physical condition of B. H. Harriman, the finan cier, it is now stated by the highest authority that Mr. Harriman’s condi- tion is by no means critical. His physicians think his “after cure,” on shipboard and at his coun- try home, will restore him to better health than he enjoyed before he left America. The “cure” at Bad Gastein is most enervating and it is an invariable rule to send patients of advanced years to some quiet mountain resort to take what is known as an “sfter cure.” Mr. Harriman’s active temperament made it:impossible for him to settle down to this humdrum existence and his physicians thought it best to let him have his way and proceed home. ‘While at the residence of Mr. Still- man in Rue Rembrandt he saw many business associates and immersed himself in affairs until the time for his departure. Mr. Harriman is an overworked man, ‘but his physicians are confident that by taking care of himself he still has many years ta live. WILLARD'S ATTEMPT FAILS Accident to Aeroplane Stops Effort to Break Record. Mineola, N. Y., Aug. 21.—C. Foster Willard's first attempt to win the tro- phy offered by the Scientific American for the longest flight by an aeroplane failed because of an accident to the framework of his machine, the Golden Flyer. One of the supports of the C. FOSTER WILLARD. rear horizontal rudder was broken in starting and this prevented- the ver- tical rudder from working. After fly- ing in a semi-circle for nearly a mile Willard was compelled to alight and postpone further attempts until next week.

BAKER & CO., MANUFACTURING JEWELERS 116 Third Street Near the Lake IN ORDER TO HOLD TRADE Merchants of Dry Town Treat Cus- tomers to Beer. Chicago, Aug. 21.—Gary (Ind.) mer- chants have found a movel way to keep. trade in the city. After a cus- tomer has bought a bill of goods the store keeper asks: “Will you have a nice cold bottle of beer?” and the in- variable answer is: “I don't care if Ido.” This premium has won popularity with mill employes, who since the city has become dry have been cashing their pay checks in South Chicago and other nearby wet cities. Burglars Kill Lawyer. Providence, R. I, Aug. 21.—The body of Albert Gerald, a prominent young lawycr, was found lying in the front yard of his home on the fash- fonable Fast Side with two bullet wounds, an inch apart, in the region of his heart.

An extraordinary incident is connect- ed with Professor von Herkomer's fa- mous' painting, “The Last Muster,” which was the picture of its year at the academy. Ofie morning- soon after the exhibl- tlon was opened the artist was aston- Ished to receive a letter from a lady, a perfect stranger, who sald she was not aware until she saw “The Last Muster” at the academy on the previ~ ous day that her mother, then dead, bad ever sat to the professor for her portrait. Now, the figure in the picture was painted solely from imagination, and the artist hastened to explain this fact to his correspondent. She theretpon asked for an appointment and took an ol painting of her mother, asserting that it was a faithful representation of that lady. The academician was astonished to perceive that he had really portrayed on his own canvas a facsimile of the figure In this other painting, although it was that of a woman whom he had never seen in his life.—London M. A. P. Shipwrecks and Courts Martial. The custom of holding courts martial In the British navy after every case of shipwreck hfs a curlous origin. In 1741 the Wager, one of Commodore Anson’s vessels, was wrecked off the coast of Chile, most of the crew being saved. The men and some of the jun- for officers held that they were no longer amenable to discipline because their pay ceased with the wreck, but the captaln, whose name was Davy Cheap, differed, treated them as muti- neers and shot one of his midshipmen. He was then deposed, and most of the crew made off in three of the boats. Later when 1t was proposed to proceed against the so called mutineers the law officers of the crown declded that the men had been correct in their view. This discovery led to the framing of section 91 of the artlcles of war, which Dprovides that in the case of shipwreck, destruction or capture by the enemy a ship s held to remain In commission pending inquiry by a court martial. The Pigs of Brittany. “Brittany is all right,” the traveled man said cautiously, “but beware of the pigs there. The Breton pig is not fat and indolent like ours. He is as "lean and flery as a wolf and twice a wolf’s size. All over Brittany you see him, swaggering up and down the white roads in search of roots, berries, frogs, anything—for he must forage for himself—his master never feeds him. Step out of his way, or he will snarl and leap at you. “The Bretons are great drunkards. |- Sometimes they fall asleep beside the road.
