Lieutenant Governor Eberhardt’s deportment may have been all right while at school but we cannot mark him 100 on his appointment of senate committees,—Fergus Falls Journal The lieutenant governor’s ap- pointment of Senator Hinton as chairman of the senate committee on normal schools hardly ranked 100 for fairness, either. . Hinton went into that memorable “'scrap” of last winter prejudiced in favor of our esteemed neighbor, Cass Lake. CAUSTIC COMMENT. (A. G. Rutledge.] THE GOOD FRIENDS. Brother, 1t's the good triends,the good fricnds and true, That makes the world a living place for me and you— The friends that’s yours in sorrow and the triends that's yours in joy All makes for you a fortune that nothing can destroy. T¢’s many of them lfkes you when fortune wears her smile But when your luck’s against you their triendship ain't in style. You cannot be blaming them, however, T suppose— For they're the kind o' people that's friendly to #ood clothes. There’s some that's friendly to you for what they get from you, But thank the Lord such people is mostly mighty few! Let them go on so friendly to dollar and to gem; As soon as yow've lost 'em, you're better off than them. There’s just a few you count on, through shadow and through shine. 1 sometimes think it's part of the heavenly design Togiveus just a few friends, and make 'em be the best, With hearts that are So loyal they’re too big tor the breast. 8o when you'vegot a good friend, you keep him all the time— He'll catch you when you stumble and help you when you climb, An’ if you win, of suffer, because 0’ fortune’s whim, He's just as glad or sorry as you would be for him. Brother, it is the good fricnds, the good friends and true, That makes the world a livin' place for me an' for you— The friend that’s yours in sorrow an' the friends that’s yours in joy, All make for you a fortune that nothin' can destroy. IN BIG INDUSTRIAL PLANTS Red Cross to Instruct Workers First Aid to Injured. ‘Washington, Aug. 2 .—Instruction in first aid to the injured will be given by the national Red Cross to thou- sands of employes of large corpora- tions, first among which will be those of the United States Steel corpora- tion and the Pennsylvania Steel com- pany. During the last two years the Red Cross has met with such success in this work among corporation em- ployes that it is proposed to pursue similar methods on a much larger scale than in the past. Within the next month more than 20,000 employes of the Steel corporation will be in- structed. As far as possible local physicians will be utilized in giving this instruc- tion. Classes for instruction will be formed in every large city of the United States. In KICKS SLEEPER FRdM TRACK Brakeman on Cowcatcher Tired Man From Death. Bpringfield, IIl, Aug. 2,—J. M. Un- derwood, a farmer, owes his life to the presence of mind of A. T. Wood- stock, a brakeman on the Chicago, Peoria and St. Louls railroad. Riding on the pilot of a locomotive which was pulling a fast freight train Brakeman Woodstock saw the body of a man lying across the rails in front of the train as it rounded a curve. Signaling the engineer, who slowed down the train with the emergepcy brakes, he extended himself forwhrd on the pilot as far as possible and with his foot kicked Underwoed from the track. Saves UNION PACIFIC AGAIN SUFFERS Declines Five Points Under Heavy Liquidation. LOWEST SINCE JULY 30 Stock Sells at 20014, but Substantial Support. Appears and a Covering Movement Resulted—Market De- vold of Any Particular Feature Aslde From the Weakness of ths Harriman Leader. New York, Aug. 27.—Harriman stocks again were hammered hard on the stock exchange, Union Pacific touching 200%, the lowest figures since July 30 last. Efforts to break the stock below 200 were made, but sub- stantial support appeared at that level Aand a covering movement resulted. Apart from the weakness of Union Pacific, the market was devoid of any particular feature except the extreme heaviness of the general list. Union Paclfic opened three points down and declined gradually on heavy lquidation. Dealings in Southern Pacific were more moderate, with a decline of over a point soon after the opening. There were recesslons of a peint or more throughout the almost entire active list on the exchange. Union Pacific declined a total of slightly over five points. Shortly before the close another drive was directed against Union Pa- cific, which brought that stock below 200. On relatively small sales it fell to 1893, with a further decline in Southern Pacific and marked weak- ness in United Btates Steel. The bal- ance of the list showed further de- clines ranging from 1 to 21 points. Demoralization marked the final trading, with lowest prices in the ac- tive list and sympathetic weakness elsewhere. Unfon Pacific closed at 198, a mnet loss for the day of 7% points and a decline of 21 points from its high record price of Aug. 16. Denial was made on Wall street that the day had seen any develop- ment in the condition of B. H. Harri- man. On account of the slump in the Harriman stocks eftorts were made to secure more definite news about the financier’s health from the office of the Union and Southern Pacific rail- roads. The best information that the financial district could get was that the distinguished railroad man was resting comfortably. HARRIMAN'S SON ARRIVES All of Financier's Chiidren Now at Arden, N. Y. Arden, N. Y. Aug. 27.—Walter A. Harriman, eldest son of E. H. Harrl- man, arrived here from Chicago and went to the Harriman estate on the top of Ramapo mountain. Young Harriman declined to discuss his re- turn from the West, where he had been chainman of a surveying gang on one of his father's lines, further than to say: “I have come on from the West about the time I had previously in- tended to come.” All of the Harriman children are now here. BUILDING LABORERS STRIKE Grievance Against Martin Madden Makes Trouble in Chicago. Chicago, Aug. 27.—Construction work on millions of dollars’ worth of buildings fs at a standstill, following a strike of 1,600 workmen. The organ- ization of building contractors held a conference and threatened to de- clare a general lockout unless the men returned to work at once. While the strikes were called nom- inally in sympathy with the elevator constructors, who are now on strike, it 1s aimed more at Martin B. Madden than at the employers. Several months ago the union employes on the Otis Elevator company’s new elevator struck. Madden agreed to furnish union men to take their places and his action was denounced as “strike- breaking” tacties. OUTLINES COMPROMISE PLAN City's Representative Suggests Way to End Wage Dispute. Chicago, Aug. 27.—Another attempt to reconcile the opposing elements in the wage dispute between the street car companies and their employes has been made and in it W. L. Fisher, as the representative of the city’s inter- ests, took an important part. Without going into details Mr. Fish- er outlined a plan by which an agree- ment might be reached, in which the employes would secure an increase in wages for new men while at the same time the idea of the companies, to differentiate between old employes and new in the wage scale, would be followed. 8panish Advance In Morocco. Madrid, Aug. 27.—Official advices recelved here from Melilla, Morocco, £ay the Spanish advance is encamped at Restinga. A detachment pushed on for a distance of four miles and occupied the market village of Elar- bar, where abundant springs were found. DEFEATS WRIGHT'S RECORD French Aviator Exceeds Made by Americans. Rheims, France, Aug. 2 .—Paulham, the French aviator, flylng over the ten-kilometer course here, beat the distance -record held previously by the Wright brothers. He was com- peting for the Prix de la Champagne and covered a distance of 181 kilo- meters (81.35 miles) in 2 hours, 43 minutes and 24 seconds. The Wright record for distance is seventy-three Distance miles. Glenn H. Cuitiss, the only Ameri- can contestant in the aeroplane races here, covered u lap of the course, six and one-fifth miles, at a rate of speed that, according to unofficial timing, broke the record for this distance, made Tuesday by Bleriot, 8 minutes 42 seconds. Curtiss himself made. the record that fell before Bleriot; covering the distance in 8 minutes 35% seconds. But when the official time was given out it was seen that Curtiss had tied Bleriot. His time also was 8 minutes 4% seconds. BLAME OUK MISSIONARIES Britons Suffer From Boycott in Por- tions of China. Pekin, Aug. 27.—Following strong representations by the British lega- tlon, instructions were sent to the viceroy of Manking and the governor of Kiangsi to adopt the most re- pressive measures to stamp out the boycott against the British along the Yangtsekiang river. The boycott al- ready is active, shipping and all other British interests being seriously af- fected. v The movement is the outcome of the killing of a Chinaman by Police Inspector Mears at Kiukiang. Inspector Mears was acquitted by the consular courts. The Chinese al- lege this was a miscarriage of justice and are actively agitating the boycott; which is spreading throughout the val. ley. The Britich charge that the agita- tion is largely attributable to the American missionaries’ too great sym- pathy for the Chinase. NOW LIVING IN NEBRASKA Supposed Victim of Mrs. Gunness Is e Heard From. Waukesha, Wis,, Aug. 27.—Frank X. Reidinger, who was supposed ta have been a victim of Mrs. Belle Gun- ness at Laporte, Ind., is alive and well on a farm near Freeport, Neb., ac- cording to a letter received from him. Reidinger formerly conducted a farm near Delafield, Wis. This farm, which was mortgaged, was recently sold under foreclosure, there being a halance of $561 after the mortgage was satisfied. This amount is held by the clerk of Waulkesha county. i, ANTI-CANNON SPIRIT IN HOUSE GROWING Asserted “Uncle Joe” Is Serv- ing Last Term as Speaker. ‘Washington, Aug. 27.—That Speak- er Cannon is now serving his last term as presiding officer of the house is the fear admitted by his supporters and the claim of a number of Repub- licans who have aligned themselves in opposition to the “czar.” When the speaker returns to Washington at the opening of the next session he will find here more representatives elect- ed on the Republican platform op- posing him than when the extra ses- sfon closed. He is unquestionably los- ing strength and, while he is in- trenched for two years more, he has exhausted, it is charged, in the dis- tribution of committee assignments substantially all the patronage at his disposal without winning mecve sup- porters. The speaker will, in the judgment of well informed congressmen, experi- ence great difficulty in maintaining control of the honse during the mext sesslon. The spirit to take issue with him is growing on the Republican side, where his leadership, in the opinion of many, is not popular with the people generally. PASSING OF NOTED PEOPLE DALLAS C.

DRIZZLING RAIN PREVAILS Pathetic Scenes Numerous as, the Parents and Children Plod Through the Streets Bearing Heavy Loads of Their Belongings—Ninety New Strikebreakers Arrive at the Plant From Ghicago. Pittsburg, Aug. 27.—The strike zone of the Pressed Steel Car company at McKees Rocks presented a scene of pitiful desolation. In a drizzling rain familles of strikers, on whom eviction notices had been served, were com pelled to vacate the company houses. The evicted families had no othet place of refuge in view, but all of them were taken care of by the strik. ers’ committee and friends to an ex tent allowed -by their limited means and inadequate facilities. An old abandoned one-horse wagon was found by some of the men. Afte it had been loaded with thouschold goods two strikers would pull it and two more would push from the rear. In many cases the parents and chil- dren carried heavy loads through the streets to a hillside just outside the strike district. As the day progressed and the pa thetic incldents were more namerous sympathetic team owners assisted the strikers. For the first time in sevoral weeks absolute —quiet reigned during the night. Not a shot was fired, as has been the case heretofore. Ninety new men, who arrived here from Chicago, were taken into the plant. About seventy-five men, recently brought to the works, deserted about the same time. FIGHTING 1S NOW GENERAL Hostilities Raging Along the Moroc. can Coast. Lisbon, Aug. 27.—Special dispatches received here from Mclilla, Morocco, say the fighting is gencral on the Morocean co The new Spanish artillery has wrought terrible havoe among the Moors, who have lost 1,060 men in the last three days. The Spanish casualties amount to . A Spanish column has destroyed three villages near Restinga. A Moorish deserter who has come into the Span ish lines declares that Spanish pris- oners, after being horribly tortured and mutilated, are decapitated and their dead bodies flung into a hole on Mount Gurug; This hole is a mass of decomposing corpsecs. Estimates place the number of Spanish prisoners at 1,000, The water being doled out to the Spanish troops is insufficient. The officers buy mineral waters, but this the men canot afford to do, and, driv- | ¥ 7 en by théir overwhélming thirst, they have drunk from stagnant pools. {Many cases of poisoning have result- |ed. Already fifty-three men have died {from this cause and 170 have been sent to hospitals. HEADQUARTERS AT CHICAGO Great Western Offioes to Be Removed From &t Paul. St. Paul, Aug. 2.—The general offices of the Chicago Great Western raflroad will be removed to Chicago in the next few months. That state- ment was made by a representative of the J. P. Morgan company in New York. The president’s office will be located in Chicago as soon as S. M. Felton, the new president, assumes charge of the road, which will prob- ably be Sept. 1. 2 Just when the rest of the general offices will be transferred is not defl- nitely settled, but that all will be lo- cated there is assured.

The hustle and worry of business men, The hard work and stooping of workmen, The woman’s household cares, Are too great a strain on the kid- neys. Backache, headache, sideache, Kidney troubles, urinary troubles follow. A Bemidji citizen tells how to cure them. Sam Collard, living at 1007 American St., Bemidji, Minn., says: “For some time I suffered from pains in the small of my back and a sort of rheumatic stiffness in my joints. At times my back was so sore that I was scarcely able to do my work. A tired, languid feeling was with me constantly and head- aches bothered me a greatdeal. I tried many remedies but did not re- ceive any relief until Doan’s Kidney Pills were brought to my attention. I procured a box of this remedy at the Owl Durg Store, and from my experience I can recommend it very highly to other persons suffering from kidney trouble.” For sale by all dealers. Price 50 cents.
