The place that gives a man his living is entitled to his best efforts to advance everything calculated to benefit the place and the community. No man has a right to live in a live town who seeks to enrich himself and pot actively identify himself with its 1nterests. b To be classed as a drone, or chronic kicker, and be opposed to every measure believed to be for the good of the citizens is a stigma that should attach to no man in the city ~limits. The improvements to be made and the enterprises to be secured and the manner of making them and securing them as a monument to the enter- prise and intelligence of the citizens is the duty each person owes to the place in which he lives. No man has a right to block legislation in his town simply be- cause he is not personally benefitted; neither has he the right to deride the efforts of others to advance the place, because he may not be the gainer thereby, or because he may have to pay a slight sum towards securing the desired improvements or enterprises. Let all join in any movement cal- culated to better our little city in the year 1909-10, and trust the re- sults will justify the action and meet the highest anticipations for a pros- perous future. CAUSTIC COMMENT. LA. G. Rutledge.] Talk is cheap when we fiéure how much per word Mr. Bryan gets for it. - Life is impossible in Mars, but it will not be in this world, if prices continue to soar. By this time Minister Wu has re- covered from his surprise and is thinking of all the questions he might have asked those spirits. Colonel Roosevelt has shipped an; impella to the national museum. In case the animal is unfamiliar to the reader, it should be explained that an impella is an aephyceros melampus. Plans for the political future of Theodore Roosevelt bring up the question of whether a dollar-a-word ‘man should be expected to con- tribute to the Congressional Record at the usual rates. “Uncle Joe” Cannon has come out in support of Dr. Cook, in the north pole controversy. Which seemed an unfair advantage to take of a re- spectable explorer who was absent and unable to defend himself. CANDIDATES ARE VERY BUSY Bannard, Gaynor and Hearst Sched- dled for Many Speeches. New York, Oct. .J—A continual round of mass meetings is planned by the three mayoralty candidates for the last two weeks of the municipal campaign. The managers of Otto T. Bannard, the Republican-Fusion can- didate, have arranged for more than a hundred meetings during the re- mainder of the camipaign. Mr. Ban- nard will speak every night except Sundays. William R. Hearst, the Civic alliance candidate, will speak four nights this week and every night next week. Justice Gaynor, the Democratic candidate, is scheduled to make at least twenty more speeches. IN BATTLE WITH A POSSE One Escaped Convict Killed and Two Seriously Wounded. Salem, Ore, Oct. 3.—The battle between a posse of sixty men and three escaped penitentiary convicts resulted in the death of ome of the convicts and the serious wounding of two others. The dead man is George Carter, sentenced for horse stealing. George Duncan was shot and probably will die. He also was serving a sentence for horse stealing and is believed to have been Carter’s partner. Albert Ferris is in a seriovs condition. He was serving a sentence for burglary. HE REFUSED PEKING BERTH Stuyvesant Fish Was Offered Chinese Post Last §oring. New York, Oct. “.—Stuyvesant Fish, asked as to the report from Shanghai as to his becoming minister to China, said: “It is true that the Chinese mission was offered to me, but that happened last spring while I was in Europe, Needless to say the offer was at once declined. I did not -mention the fact then and should not do so now were it not for the persistence of the base- less rumors of my going there.” RISE FAOM ASHES Frisco Begins Brief Season of Rejoicing.

It is to be a light hearted, care free, big time, with a big, serious spirit behind it. The big time is to be the “Portola festival.” What is behind it is this: A little over three years ago you could stand on Russian hill, in San Francisco, and, look in front or to the right or to the left, you could see clear to the bay, with nothing to ob- struct your view save smoking, crum- bling ruins of once majestic office buildings, stores, factories — four square miles of scorching piles of brick, mortar, stone, twisted steel, a dreary waste, appalling beyond words. But though the city was destroyed, the spirit of the pioneers of the days of 49 lived on. While the smoke was MISS VIRGILIA BOGUE. still rising from the ruins of the old city that city’s sons and daughters set themselves to the heart straining task of rearing a new Western metrop- olis behind the Golden Gate. For three years San Francisco has worked, worked hard. For five days she’s going to play, play for all she’s worth. To celebrate the discovery of San Francisco bay by an old fellow named Gaspar de Portola, first Spanish gov- ernor of California, back in 1769—that is San Francisco’s -excuse for the Por- tola festival, tho nail upon which the festival is hung. The fun started when old Don Gas- par, represented by a lineal descend- ant, Don Nicholas Covarrubius, sailed in through the Golden Gate and passed in rdview before the American and foreign warships in the bay, on his way to pay his respects to the Portola queen, no other than Miss Virgilia Bogue of San Francisco, a famous beauty and true Jaughter of the West. The programme includes band con- certs, fireworks, aquatic sports, din- ners, receptions, balls and all the thousand and one other things that go to make up a real American festival. Children Cheer in Chicago. Chicago, Oct. 20.—Promptly at noon 800,000 Chicago school children joined & coutitry wide chorus by giving three cheers for the rehabilitation of San Francisco. The outburst was due to a request from San Francisco that the pupils participate in this unique celebration of San Francisco’s recov- ery from the earthquake and fire. HEAVY LOSS OF LIFE FEARED Cyclone Wrecks Indian Town ana Sinks Many Steamers. Calcutta, Oct. 20.—A cyclone: has wrecked Goalands, a town about 150 miles from Calcutta, and has done great damage at other Eastern sta tions. Many river steamers have been sunk. It is feared that there has been heavy loss of life. TAFT ENJOYING HIS REST Taking It Easy on Ranch of His Brother in Texas. Gregory, Tex., Oct. 20.—When Pres- ident Taft awoke at § a. m., after the hest sleep he has had for a month, he looked out on a boundless prairie with sage grass and mesquite bushes in the foreground and the background, But, anyway, there were no reception com- mitteemen stomping about in the mid- dle distance waiting and wondering when the president would show up and this is alleged to have helped a GAUSES SIGKNESS L4 Good Health Impossible With a Dis- ordered Stomach.

The president dressed leisurely and went down to breakfast at 9 o'clock rendy to enjoy his four days’ stay at the ranch of his brother, Charles P. Taft. The ranch is three miles from Gregory and near Corpus Christi. The-big tract, said to contain more than 100,000 acres, stretches for miles north of the ranchhouse. It is sa great, in fact, that it required three- quarters of an hour for the Taft train to go from Sinton, the northern end of the ranch, to Gregory, at the souta- ern end. OPPOSE ADVANGE IN FREIGHT RATES Business Men of Many Cities Meet at Cincinnati, Cincinnati, Oct. 20.—Representa- tives of trade organizations from St. Louis, Chicago and other - Western cities are holding a meeting here to make a protest against what they de- clare is a campaign on the part of the railroads for a general advance in freight rates. The meeting follows a preliminary conference held a week ago in this city, attended by representatives of trade organizations of several cities. The object is to combat the argu- ments for higher freight rates as made in a pamphlet recently issued by the chairman of the Trunk Line association. This pamphlet, in short, makes the argument that the purchasing power of railway earnings is less now than in 1897 and that therefore freight rates should be advanced at least 10 per cent. The trade organizations aver that the carriers’ sworn statements to the Interstate commerce commission prove conclusively that there is no need for a reduction in wages and that the true basis of comparison of railroad operations is net financial results. On this basis it is declared that the car- riers’ sworn statements show the fol- lowing: Net income for all railroads in the United States for 1907 was $449,461.138; for 1897 it was $81,257, b506. Excess 1907 over 1897 is $368,- 203,682, an increase of 453 per cent. WOMAN ROUTS ARMED THIEF Proprietress of Store Refuses to Be Held Up. Chicago, Oct. 20.—Alone and un- armed Matilda Nelson, who keeps a grocery, drove a negro into the street after he had attempted to rob her store at the point of a pistol. Then she called the police. The man ordered some butter and gave $5 to Miss Nelson. As she turned from the cash register to give him the change he pointed a revolver at her. She sprang toward him and knocked the revolver from his hand. As he stooped to pick it up she struck him in the face and kicked him on the shins. When he rose with ‘the revolver she thrust his change into his hand and told him to get out. He obeyed while she poked him in the ribs with a broom handle. SWITCHMEN WANT MORE PAY Believe Conditions Warrant an In- crease in Wages. Bt. Paul, Oct. 20.—Switchmen over the entire Northwest are about to make formal demand for an increase of 6 cents per hour wages and an equalization of wages, it is said. A similar demand was threatened a year ago, but owing to the financial condi- tions in the country was withheld on suggestion of the Switchmen’s union of North America. The switchmen believe that the roads are now flourishing with the enormous amount of business handled and at a recent mass meeting held at Midway they dccided to request the managers of the various roads be- tween the Twin Cities and the Pacific coast to meet them in conference here on Nov. 15. Blackburn Has Not Resigned. . New York, Oct. 19.—Former Sen- ator J. C. S.

SECOND DEATH FOLLOWS Body of Dead Man Is Removed to the Home of His Mother-in-Law and She Drops Dead at Sight of the Remains. Suicide Had Been Despondent Since Failure of Institution. Mineral Point, Wis,, Oct. )—F. E. Hanscom, cashier of the wrecked First National bank of Mineral Point, shot and killed himself in Graceland semetory. Hanscom’s body was im- mediately removed to the home of his mother-inlaw, Mrs. John Gray. At the sight of the iifeless body Mrs. Gray dropped dead. Since the failure of the bank Hans- com has been worrying night and day and was despondent. . Mr. Hanscom was a brother-inlaw of Phii Allen, Jr., vice president of the bank, for the alleged misuse of whose funds Allen was arrested last Friday. - The bank, for a generation regard- ed as one of the strongest in South- wostern Wisconsin, was closed a weel: ago after an investigation of the books by Bank Evaminer Goodhart. An attempt was made to keep the in stitutidn on its fest by the sale of min- ing property in which Allen was in- terested, but the deal fell through. It was alleged that the bank had becn looted of $290,000 by meons of ncte: forged by Allen. Cashier Hanscom the Tool. Allen’s chief ald in running the bank was Hanscom. The fermer be- came serfously ill when the bank was closed. Since then Hanscom had de- d every minute of his time to as sisting Examiner Goodhart in straizkt. ening out the books. When Receiver Schofleld took charge last Thursday rumors, which could not be confirmed, had it that the loss to depositors would run greatly over $200,000 and that arrests in addi- tion to that of Allen were to be ex- pected. Hanscom disappeared from his home late Sunday. Wken he failed to re- turn his relatives started out to scarch for him. They found his body in Graceland cemetery, lying across the STRAIN TOO GREAT Hundreds ‘of Bemidji Readers Find Daily Toil a Burden.
