SUBSERIPTIOH---85.00 PER YEAR IN ADVANCE GEN. ANDREWS DOES WELL. In commenting on the recent annual report of Gen. C. C. Andrews, state fire warden, Robert C. Dunn says, in his Princeton Union: ““The writer first appointed Gen. C. C. Andrews chief fire warden in 1895 and he has retained the posi- tion ever since—the title of the office has been changed to forest commissioner. The legislature of 1897 was so antagonistic to Mr. Andrews that, on the last night of the session, a bill was passed abol- ishing the office of chief fire war- den. At the request of the state auditor Governor Clough promptly vetoed the bill. “The general has always been an enthusiast on reforestation and the preservation of our forests. He has rendered the state valuable services, but be has never been duly appre- ciated by the people of our state, and the salary awarded him has not been commensurate with the good work performed. Like the prophet he is without honor in his own country. But he is building for the future, and posterity will do justice to the memory of Gen. C.C. An- drews.” HONORED (?) BY “PIRACY.” Judging from the following, taken from the last issue of the Princeton Union, our old friend “Bob” must have been engaging in alittle “news- paper piracy,” himself: *“Occasionally oneeditor calls down another for failing to give proper credit tor an item. Aneditor who can pen 2 paragraph that is worthy of being stolen should feel highly com- plimented.” CAUSTIC COMMENT. LA. G. Rutledge.] High society is taking very kindly to the air ship. Under the new tariff law a drink of Scotch whiskey is bound to be a “high ball.” The government is going to change the face of its bills. Does this mean that Taft is to lose his smile? The Countess of Cardigan says no girl knows her mind in her teens. The Countess, it may readily be deducted, is in her “ty’s.” The late H. H. Rogers remem- bered Mark Twain in his will. An- other evidence that there is some- times a premium on humor. Under the operation of the new corporation tax law, let us hope that “net” earnings will not show a tendency to become “nit” earnings. A direct decendent of John Paul Jones is suing for 1000,000 acres of land. Strange; we thought that John Paul was a sea lord, not a land lord. We do not wish to be unkind, but was it not prophetic that the name of the first man to build a house in the state that is famous for Milwau- kee, which is famous for something else, should bear the name of “Tank”? PASSING OF NOTED PEOPLE REV. LEOPOLD BUSHART, elev enth president of St. Louis university from 1874 to 1877, is dead in St. Louis of old age. He had been president also of St. Xavier college, Cincinnati, from 1872 to 1875; minister of St Mary’s college, Kansas, from 1886 to 1889 and rector of Marquette college, Milwaukee, from 1893 to 1898. W. F. CARTER, general agent ol the passenger department of the New York Centra) lines, with headquarters at Toledo, O., is dead. Mr. Carter was a brother-in-law of William New- man, former president of the New York Central. JUDGE HENRY W. SENEY, prom inent at the Ohio bar and in Demo cratic politics, is dead at Toledo, O., from paralysis. Frost Damages Tobacco Crop. La Crosse, Wis,, Sept. .—Exten. ve damage was done to the tobacco crop of Western Wisconsin by frosts, ac- cording to reports received here. On some farms in La Crosse, Vernon and Monroe counties, the center of to- bacco industry in this section, the loss is total, while on others a part of the crop will be saved. Engineer Killed in Collision. St. Joseph, Mo., Sept. .—Engineer Thomas Howard of Des Moines was killed and a number of passengers severely shaken up In a head on col- lision between a Chicago Great West- ern passenger train and a St. Joseph and Grand Island freight train. The collision occurred in the 8t. Joseph yards. P ST iy ‘THIRD HOUSE’ Employes of Last Session The Minnesota State Gopher Club, otherwise and popularly known as the Third House—employes in the last legislature—has planned a re- union at the State Fair grounds, which will take place on Wednesday of fair week, September 8th, at 2 o’clock p. m., in the building form- erly occupied by the superintendent of gates, through the courtesy of the Board of Managers of the State Fair. This promises to be an interesting feature for the boys throughout the state who were fortunate enough to be retained in various capacities during the last legislative session, and who are now bound together by the inseparable ties of political principle engendered by a thorough initiation into the mysteries of the House and senate. The re-union of the club was planned by its members early in the year, and the merit of the plan is apparent when the solons themselves at an informal gathering some short time ago,arranged for a similar meet- ing at the same place. This will also take place on Wednesday of Fair week, a little earlier in the afternoon. The present Gopher Club claims the distinction of being the first to take steps to perfect a permanent organization and maintain it, and the nature of the coming re-union cannot be better characterized than by quoting an excerpt from the invi- tation sent out to the club members WILL HOLD REUNION AT STATE FAIR of Legislature Will Renew Friendships.—It Will Not Be Complete Without Presence of Some Lobbyists. by President Barney F. Seiz, of Red Wing: “'It is earnestly desired that all the members of the club assemble at the said time and place, to shake hands, renew friendships, hear John T. Jones sing, and have a good time.” Needless to say, the good time mentioned is that which is in store for all State Fair visitors this year. John T. Jones was the reading clerk of the last legislature. The club, of course, is state-wide in its scope, and its members always have been enthusiastic about the great Minnesota State Fair, a banner attendance for the Gopher Club gathering is a foregone conclusion. The above is furnished, free of charge by the press department of the State Fair managers, and of course, the party writing the matter could not insert any sectional inter- est into the article. Allow us to suggest that if a2 num- ber of the enthusiastic supporters of the various towns which were after a new state normal school last winter could not be induced to take part in the reunion (some being picked from among our own Be- midjites and few from Cass Lake) John T. Jones wouldn’t sing; he’d yell for the police, judging from the torridity of the strife and contention that was engendered last winter among the strenuous north-country hustlers who had a “third house” of their own for the best part of the session. WOULD-BE ASSASSIN ENDS LIFE IN JALL Assailant ot Prominent Minne- sofan Hangs Himself. New Ulm, Minn, Sept. .—John Hayner, who shot and seriously wounded former Senator George W. Somerville at Sleepy Eye, hanged him- self in the county jail here and was found swinging dead from the bars of his cell door. Hayner had carefully torn 'his blanket into strips, fashion- ing a rope strong enough to bear his welght, and then swung himself into eternity. Prior to taking his life Hayner, in discussing the shooting of Somerville, declared that he was sitting down in a chair in Somerville’s office when he fired the shots at the lawyer and did 80 because Somerville had risen from his chair and advanced in a threaten- ing manner, holding an office ruler in his hands. It was, he said, to repel this attack, that he fired the shots. Hayner said that the real estate deal with Somerville, in which he thought he had been cheated, ‘was the exchange of 170 acres of land in Dent county, Mo., for property in Sleepy Eye. He sald that Somerville assured him that seventy acres were under the plow and 100 acres well timbered and the value of the land was $5,000. These representations, Hayner sald, were not true and he tried to engage counsel to bring suit against Somer- ville, but without success. PREFERS MONEY TO DIVORCE Evelyn Thaw Has No Intention of Go- Ing to Nevada. New York, Sept. 3.—“I have never been in Reno in my lfe,” said Mrs. Evelyn Nesbit Thaw, when asked re- garding persistent rumors that she had joined the divorce colony in the Nevada town. “Furthermore,” she added, “I don’t intend to go there. T have been right here in this house for the last three years and I am sick and tired of hear- Ing these reports that I have been seen in different parts of the country. I nced money more than I need a divorce just at present. That is nec- essary to live on and I shall make no plans until I arrange a settlement with the Thaw family.” EXTENSION SEEMS PROBABLE Result of Joint Conference of Railroad Officials. Chicago, Sept. !.—Failure of denial by those who have been in conference that an extension of the Northwestern Pacific railroad to Hureka, Cal, has been agreed upon is believed in local rallway circles here to indicate that the extension has been agreed upon by representatives of the Santa-Fe, the Southern Pacific and the North- western Pacific and awaits only con- firmatory actinn by the directors of the roads interested. TRAIN STRIKES AUTOMOBILE Three Persons Killed and a ‘Fourth Fatally Injured. Reading, Pa.,, Sept. .—A Pennsyl- vania railroad train struck an automo- bile at Douglassville, Pa., killing three persons and fatally injuring another. The dead are William L. Graul and wife of Temple, Pa., and the wife of Dr. Samuel E. Slegel, a well known dentist of Reading. Dr. Slegel’s legs were broken and he cannot survive. FROM NEW YORK TO FRISCO Through Train Service Entirely Over Gould Lines. St. Louis, Sept. }.—The dream of Jay (iould for through train service from the Atlantic to the Pacific coast will be realized within a few months ‘when the Missouri Pacific, In conjunc- tion with the Wabash, the Rio Grande system and the Western Pacific, all of them Gould lines, will operate trains between New York and San Fran- cisco. The new service will be the first provided over roads under the same ownership and control. Dickinson Saves His Chauffeur. Nashville, Tenn., Sept. *.—Jacob M. Dickinson, secretary of war, appeared in the city court here in behalf of his chauffeur, who was charged with ex- ceeding the speed limit. It was shown the automobile was only making twen- ty-eight miles an hour and that the secretary was on his way to the cus- tom house on official business. The case was dismissed. HUNDREDS ARE ~ KLLED IN JAVA Floml Following Cloudburs: Wipes Out Town. Batavia, Java, Sept. ,—Floods fol Jowing a cloudburst have practically wiped cut the town of Bezoeki, in Southeast Java, and reports place the number of dead at 600 natives. Rafl way bridges near the town have heen destroyed and practically all communi. cation with the southern end of the island has been stopped. Thousands of natives are fleeing north to escape the inundation. Their homes are destroyed and the full crops upon which they deponded for a live lihood have been ruined. The prop erty damage will be enormous.

MERRITT 148 Endicott Bldg, DURING HIS LONG TOUR OF COUNTRY Taft Will Be in Constani Touch With White House. ALL ARRANGEMENTS MADE At Almost Every Station Along the Route Special Wires WIll Be in Readiness for Direct Communica tion With Washington—Official Itin erary of Proposed Trip Shows a To tal Mileage of 12,759, Beverly, Mass., Sept. J—During his leng swing through the West and South, beginning Sept. 16, President Taft will be in constant touch with the White House by means of special telegraph wires. These special wires will be established in zones and as soon as the president’s train passes from one zone to another the loops into the telegraph room at the White House will be rearranged. At almost any station along the route it will be possible for the president to send a message direct to the executive offices in Washington over a wire temporar 1ly under the control of the govern ment. The official itinerary of the presi: dent’s trip shows the total mileage t¢ be 12,759, of which 1,165 miles will be made on a steamboat down the Mis- sissippi river. The distance of the trip falls about 1,000 miles short ol the long tour President Roosevell made to the Pacific coast, but the addition of three side trips the presi- dent will make out of Washington im- mediately after his return here on Nov.-10 will bring the total of the Journey far above that of his prede- cessor. The highest point at which the president will stop for any length of time is the rim of the Grand canyon, which is 6,900 feet above the sea level. The lowest point for a stop is at New Orleans, which is but five feet | above the level of the sea. Crossing the Rocky mountains, however, the president’s train will attain an alti tude of more than 10,000 feet.

OUTLOOK SEEMS PEACEFUL Amicable Adjustment of Boundary Dispute Probable. ‘Washington, Sept. )—The bound- ary controversy between Peru and Bolivia seems near an amicable set- tlement. The state department has received a telegram from Minister Stutesman, at La Pagz, Bolivia, reporting that the Bolivian congress, affer considering In secret session for several days the Argentine award in the boundary arbi- tration with Peru, referred the whole matter to the executive department of Bolivia for appropriate treatment. Cholera Kills Missionary. New York, Sept. .—Rev.
