SUBSGRIPTION---$5.00 PER YEAR IN ADVANGE SOME POLITICS, DOWN AT THE FAIR. George F. Authier, political writer for the Minneapolis Tribune, has been noting the political skirmishing which has been going on down in the twin cities during the fair, and says of some matters he noticed: “Senatorial politics has been hav- ing the boards for the last few days, and will probably continue to do so, but will have to share honors with gubernatorial affairs. All of the Republican gubernatorial aspirants who have unofficially projected them- selves into the Dan Patch class, are on hand at the Minnesota state fair, and there are others who believe they are capable of being mentioned, atleast. Lieutenant Governor Eber- hart is wearing his pleasantest smile and has his latest story ready to put out in his own offhand way. Robert C. Dunn of Princeton is present in spirit, and there are others. “The latest aspirant for the place of Moses to the Republican party, to be mentioned, is W. E. Lee of Todd county, one of the state fair managers. There were rumors around legislative headquarters yesterday that Mr. Lee’s friends were feeling out the situation for him, and coun- sulting with a few legislators to test public sentiment. “The anti-saloon league is repre- sented on the fair-gounds with a booth, in which hair-rasing pictures have a tendency to scare the life out of the bibulous, are on exhibition. “Elias Rachi, whois legislative su- perintendent, is in charge. Mr. Rachie denies that the league will establish headquarters in St. Paul, and says they will be continued at Minneapolis and at Willmar, where, he, himself is located. “Mr. Rachie optimistically refuses to believe the reports that are com- ing in relative to the dying out of the county option movement, as a result of the restrictive legislation passed by the last legislature. The anti-saloon league is still at outs with the pronounced Prohibitionists. He says the antis will have nothing to do with the Prohibitionists nor with any other political party, although he admits that the hope of the optimists rests with the Re- publicans. The Prohibitionists will have to worry along by themselves, according to Mr. Rachie.” What's the odds about that north pole, anyway? And what is the use of twogood American citizens “scrapping” over something that is really of no benefit, one way or the other, to the average man? With floating ice beds, aud nothing sub- stantial to record one’s presence at that place which is only fit for the habitation of polar bears, seals and other heavy-fur-bearing animals, there will never be a congestion of population there, and the incident will only serve as a point for dis- cussion among scientists. Brler Alvah Eastman of the St. Cloud Journal-Press should read up a bit on the anti-lottery law and the rulings made by the postoffice de- partment relative to what -a news- paper can publish relative to draw- ings, lotteries, etc. In the editorial column of the J. P. of the 8th inst., there is printed the name of the winner of a raffle, together with the lucky number that won—and what is worse, it was No. 13. Should the postoffice inspector ‘‘get next” to that small, inoffensive news item, there might be —— to pay, or words to that effect. THE PHILIPPINES ARE SAFE Professor Starr Says Japan Does Not Wang Them. Chicago, Sept. 9.—Those Americans who fear that the Philippine islands would be seized by Japan should the United States let go of them are un- duly alarme®, according to Professor Frederick Starr of the University of Chicago. The professor made this statement on the eve of his departure for Japan, where he will stay for onc year. “Japan i3 too sensible to try for more islands,” said Professor Starr. “It realizes its unfortunate position in being situated upon an island now and would be at a greater disadvantage if it should take in more insular terri- tory. 1f the United States wants to get rid of the Philippines it can do so without fear that they will be seized by other nations. “Japan has no desire to get a stronger hold in China either, though the more mainland it has the better it is fortified.” DOCTOR'S REPLY IS VERY BRIEF Signed Statement Says Har- riman [s Better. R it P WARNS NEWSPAPER MEN In Answering Communication From | Press Representatives Physiclan De- clares He Will Ignore Them in Fu- ture—Judge Lovett, Returning to New York From a Visit to Sick Man, Refuses to Discuss His Condition. Arden, N. Y., Sept. .—Dr. W. G. Lyle, dward H. Harriman’s physi- cian, has issued a Signed statement, as follows: “Mr. Harriman is better.” The statement was in reply to a note sent to Dr. Lyle by several news- paper men who drove to Arden House during the forenoon. This note point- ed out the fact that wild rumors re- garding Mr. Harriman were still in circulation and previous statements from the house and offices of the Un- ion Pacific have been unable to set them at rest. For this reason the newspaper men said that they would appreciate any direct authoritative word from the physician. Dr. Lyle returned this note with his reply pen- cilled and signed on the back. ' At the same time he sent word by the mes- senger that he would receive no more written communications and that if any more were sent they would be treated with absolute silence. STOCK MARKET IS STEADIER Indicates Subsidence of Anxiety Over Harriman’s Condition. New York, Sept. .—The quiet tone of the early stock market indicated some subsidence of anxiety over the condition of E. H. Harriman, al- though no authoritative announce- ment regarding the condition of the patient had been made. Union Pa- cific rose 1% in the course of the first hour’s trading, Southern Paclific three-fourths and Reading 1%. The rise in these favorite speculative stocks was accepted as an index of sentiment towards the whole market and the movement of prices through- out was upwards, but with a very moderate demand. A selling movement developed by the end of the first hour and Union Pacific receded from 1981 to 106%. The lack of information during the morning from Arden awakened anx- ety over Mr. Harriman and caused a nervous lone. Trading became dull at the decline. Later in the day the physician’s bul- letin reporting Mr. Harriman im- proved was followed by a recovery in prices. The market thereupoen be- came practically stagnant. Judge Lovett Is Silent. New York, Sept. .—When Judge Lovett arrived at his office in the Un- jon Pacific building, after having spent the . night and morning at Ar- den, he said he would have nothing to say regarding Mr. Harriman’s con- dition and that such information must come from Dr. Lyle.

New York, Sept. —Miss Anna Held, comedienne, known in private life as Mrs. Florence Ziegfeld, Jr., came back to New York on the North German Lloyd liner Kron Prinzessin Cecille and her first words were a warning to young girls not to choose the stage as a career. “It is dangerous,” sald Miss Held, “very dangerous. Young women, un- = 1 e o less they are possessed of the great- est talents, should let the stage alone, because those without great talents will get along, if they do get along at all, only at the expense of their inno- cence and their good names. S0 “Why there are five theaters in New York controlled, indeed owned, by millionaires and these men have all the privileges of the stage during rehearsals and performances. - Their object when they prowl.about behind the scenes is obvious. A girl with a pretty face is soon at their merecy.” '| AT EXTRA SESSION OF COURT Indictment Against American Ice Com- pany to Be Taken Up. Albany, N.
