Schools and churches do much towards building up a town with desirable citizens, and it is seldom that an editor can overdo the matter of speaking encouraging words for the schools of his town. Many an editor makes it a rule never to let an issue of his paper go before the pub- lic without calling attention to the advantages of the public schools of the town. Such articles encourage the pupils, strengthen the teachers and are the best of advertisements for the town and community. Great interest is being taken in the conservetion, development and reapportionment congress which is to be held in Bemidji on Thrusday and Friday, February 17 and 18, The convention has a great work to- do and every part of the northern portion of the state should be repre- sented by good delegations of men who are conversant with the needs and who will see that proper action is taken, that will bring results. Crookston will be there with a good delegation of representative men, who will be named in a short time. —Crookston Times. The way to build up a community is for every person in it, who can, to put some money into industries that give the people employmeut, and push the industries to success Industries that last all the year round are the best; but those that last part of the year are better than none. The most valuable power on earth is human power, and when it is not employed it is not lost but it also consumes part of what others earn. Work creates wealth; work sets money in motion; work pays debts; work is the vital power in prosperity, and that nation whose people are idle, are poor, and are poor in proportion to the number that work and the time they work. Heaven’s greatest earthly blessing to any people is to give them honest, remunerative work. A REAPPORTIONMENT CONGRESS. The call for a convention of repre- sentatives of Northern Minnesota to meet in Bemidji Feb. 17-18 appears to have found an enthusiastic re- sponse from all parts of the north end of the state. Moreover, nearly every newspaper and every business man who has ever commented upon the proposed convention has empha- sized the thought that reapportion- ment should be the first and principal thing to be considered. If the con- vention is well attended it ought to solidify the sent.ment for reap- portionment, so as to make it the issue in every representative district in Northern Minnesota. If the meeting at Bemidji can do that it will do more for the northern half of the state than was ever accom- plished before at one blow or at one time.~~Hibbing Tribune, ALL WE WANT IS KAISER. Here is a recipe for harmony for the republican party in Minnesota: If the party wants harmony in Fergus Falls, let it nominate Elmer Adams for governor. ‘“That’ll fetch it—in Fergus Falls, If the republicans want harmony in Northfield, nom- inate Joel Heatwole for governor. That’ll bring it—in Northfield. Great gobs of harmony can be hunked off in Princeton by making Bob Dunn the candidate for gover- Everything will be forgiven in Madison if Jake Jacobson is named for the head of the ticket, and the nor. irepublican minority in St. Cloud will be enthusiastically unanimous if Rip Brower is the nominee. Now the party knows how to get harmony, let it go ahead and get it.—Hibbing Tribune. Upin this neck of the woods we are satisfied with our one candidate for treasurer Albert Kaiser. We’re not asking for gover- nor; and Kaiser is going to land. Crookston Times. | BY THE WAY. | Even a thief triesto be mistaken for an honest man. Those who want to be good fellows and try to be considered as such, are generally very much the reverse. It is always some woman that a man works for, no matter what his intention may be. If you don’t care what you do, you generally do wrong. Talk less, because talk is cheap, do more because doing is appreci- ated; then glance back and notice bow you’ve grown. The man who urges you to “be a sport” generally has a sure thing game he wants to steer you up against. WANTS $1,000,000 DAMAGES Woman Whom Minister Graves Re: fused to Present to Royalty. New York, Feb. 3.—Mrs. Ida von Clausen, who is preparing to push a claim against the United States gov- ernment for $1,000,000 because of the refusal of Charles H. Graves, Ameri- can minister to Sweden, to present her at court in April, 1907, arrived here on the Hamburg-American steamship Amerika and announced that she had her fighting clothes on and would make it decidedly interesting for the government. “I know if I give them rope enough they would hang themselves,” she said. “I've got all the proof now and will make them dance.” ‘When asked to specify the persons she referred to as “they” Mrs. von Clausen declared “they” would find out who was meant soon enough. Mrs. von Clausen’s charges against Mr. Graves, which were disregarded by former President Roosevelt, were regarded highly eccentric in diplomatic circles. RAILROAD TO HUDSON BAY Canadian Government to Begin Con- struction in the Spring. Ottawa, Ont., Feb. 3—Canada will begin the construction of a railway to Hudson bay next spring. This an- nouncement was made to parliament by George P. Graham, minister of rail- ways. The road will be built as a gov- ernment work, but probably will be operated by one of the existing private corporations or by several jointly. It is calculated that the route will be available four months in the year and that a great portion of the Western Canadian wneat crop can be hauled out each year at a saving of 5 cents a bushel in freight. The line is expect: ed to be opened for business in three years. K Bjornson Said to Be Dying.

BELIEVED TWO SCORE PERISHED Thirty-Three Bodies Taken From Kentucky Mine. ODORS REPULSE RESCUERS Repeated Efforts to Penetrate the En- try—where the Explosion Occurred Frustrated Until the Fans Had Re- moved the Worst of the Fumes. Twenty-five Mangled and Badly In- Jured Men Taken Out Alive. Drakesboro, Ky., Feb. 3.—Heroic as have been the efforts of scores of res- cuers it is believed that it will be marny hours before the Browder mine, near this city, will yield up the bodies of -the last of the long list of men whose lives were snuffed out in an explosion. Of the 100 men in the mine when the disaster took place it is now practical- ly certain that more than a third per- ished. Except for the twenty-five who, many of them mangled and some fatal- ly hurt, were brought to the surface within a few minutes after the con- cussion, the relief workers have not found a sign of life. Repeated attempts to penetrate the entry where the dust and gas exploded were frustrated by the stifling odors and it was only after the fans, which had been kept working for hours, drew out the worst of the fumes that it was possible to begin the rescue. Shifts of six men each were sent down into the shaft on relief excur- sions and then, almost overcome, were drawn back on the cages by fresher comrades. Thirty-three Bodies Recovered. “Through tae night each lift of the cage brought bodies to the top of the ground, until thirty-three had been re- covered. In the panic of grief about the mine shaft it was impossible to as- certain the number of men who es- caped. It is said, however, that no man could have lived an hour in the mine atmosphere after the explosion. The news of the disaster spread quickly to the numerous mines in Muhlenberg county and hundreds of mine workers hastened to the scene. Thousands of curious were also at- tracted, sharing the watch with the grief stricken mothers, wives and children. Where identification was pos- sible the bodies were taken to the homes, but in many instances so badly blackened and burned are the dead that no identification may ever be made. i The explosion is believed to have been ‘caused by a miner's lamp ignit- ing gas in an unused room. - The force of the explosion was apparently suffi- cient to cause instant death to all the men in the eastern wing, where the mishap occurred. Cars and heavy tim- bers were blown about like kindling wood. BODIES BLOWN TO PIECES Force of Explosion in Colorado Mine Was Terrific. Primero, Colo., Feb. 3.—The im- mense force of the explosion in the Primero coal mine, which exacted a toll of seventy-nine lives Monday aft- ernoon, was shown as the explorers penetrated deeper into the workings. Seven more bodies were recovered during the night, making a total of fifty-two. But it is extremely improb- able that the full roster of dead will ever be given the last rites that their families and friends would observe, for conditions in the deeper workings indicate that many of the victims were literally blown to pieces. Frag- ments of the shattered steel jacketed lamps the miners carried are prob- ably all that will ever be found. Shreds of human flesh with these Jagged bits of lamps were found. by explorers, who approached the spot where the explosion occurred. CHOKES TO DEATH ON MEAT Man Eats Ravenously After Boycott of Four Days. Chicago, Feb. 3.—At least one death can be charged up to the boycott on meat. After a vegetarian diet of four days Goff Peller, a sign painter, could resist no longer, began ravenously up- on a huge beefsteak and choked to death on almost the first mouthful. He purchased one of the largest steaks he could find, cooked it himself at the paint shop and, combining it with a loaf of bread, made a giant sandwich. Two fellow workmen were present and Peller imagined they were envy- ing him the meat. “You fellows are not going to get any of this; it is too good to waste,” he said, and then he began to choke. A piece of the steak lodged in his throat and, although the three men did their best to pull it out, they could not. Peller died before a doctor arrived. Pellagra Kills lowa Man.. Oskaloosa, Ia., Feb. 3.—It was an- nounced by physicians that C. B. Da- vis, who died last week, was a victim of pellagra. It is the second fatality due to that disease in Iowa and the physicians were slow to make: public their diagnosis. After a consultation attending physicians announced that the disease was pellagra. GIVEN FOUR YEARS IN PRISON South Dakotan Convicted of Perjury and Other Crimes. Sloux Falls, S. D., Feb. 3.—Impris- onment for a period of four. years in the United States penitentiary at Leavenworth, Kan., was the sentence imposed by Judge Carland of ‘the fed- eral court in the case of J. C. Canton- wine, formerly a prominent business man of Armour, who, at a term of the federal court held here in December, was found guilty on several counts ! charging him with perjury and other ls'r.on@s.oo; lambs, $6.25@8.50. crimes In connection With the bank- ruptey proceedings in an alleged at- tempt on his part to defraud his creditors, to whom he owed an aggre- gate of more than $60,000. Cantonwine is the man who in Sep- tember, 1908, created a sensation by claiming that the safe in his store at Armour had been robbed of $35,300 in cash. Of this sum $33,000 was alleged to have been in bills; $2,000 in' gold and the remaining $300 in silver. BOND DEALERS BANKRUPT Firm’s Unsecured Obligations Said to Be Fully $1,000,000. New York, Feb. 2—Fisk & Robin- son, bond dealers and members of the New York Stock Exchange, have failed for $1,000,000. An involuntsry petition .in bankruptcy was filed by creditors in the United States district court and Bronson Winthrop was ap- pointed receiver. The failure is one of the largest since the panic of 1907, not so much as liabilities are concerned but in view of the importance of the firm, ‘which has branches in Chicago, Bos- ton and Worcester, Mass. A statement issued by the receiver says the firm’s secured obligations will amount to approximately $5,000,000 and the unsecured debts to more than $1,000,000. While it is often impossible to prevent an accident, it isnever impossible to be prepared—it is not beyond anyone’s purse.

Teheran, Feb. 3.—Persian govern- ment officials are satisfied that Persia may be no better than a Russian prov- ince within a year. The recent dispatch of three strong detachments of the czar’s troops to Abhara for the ostensible purpose of checking the depredations -of the no- torious brigand, Rahim Kahn, has con- vinced the authorities that Russia has taken another decisive step in her pro- cess of absorbing the shah’s country. The purpose of the latest Russian invasion, officials believe, is to re-estab- lish Rahim in order that Russia may have an excuse for retaining an armed force at Ahara and thus keeping the province under Russian control. It is assumed here that Russia is acting with England’s sanction or has taken advantage of England's involv- ment in domestic political problems. All appeals to the Muscovites here have gone unanswered. RAILROADS REJECT DEMANDS Express Willingness to Arbitrate Ques- tion of Firemen's Wages. New York, Feb. 3.—Sixty railroads in the country have notified the repre- sentatives of 32,000 firemen of the re- jection of the demands for a 20 to 25 per cent wage increase and other con- cessions. News: of the rejection was contained in a private dispatch from Chicago. The roads express a willingness to arbitrate the question of wages, but flatly refuse other demands.

WANAMAKER OFFERS AID Wealthy American Resident of French Capital Proposes to Buy a Loaf of Bread Daily for a Month for Each Victim of the Disaster—Contribu- tions From the United States Al- ready Exceed $160,000. Paris, Feb. 3.—The flood situation continues to improve rapidly. Except in the Javel quarter, the twelfth ar- rondissement and a few isolated spots on the left bank of the River Seine the waters have almost wholly reced- ed from the streets of Paris. The re- treating waters have exposed to view great gaps in the pavements, while stranded boats and scattered wreck- age indicate how far the river wan- dered from a normal course. - The work of disinfection and the restoring of the transportation sys- tem is proceeding energetically, but the progress is necessarily slow. It will be many days and probably weeks before the telegraph and telephone systems, the surface railways and the railroad lines are again on a normal basis. Rodman Wanamaker, a wealthy Philadelphian, who now lives here, has offered, tkrough American Ambas- RODMAN WANAMAKER. sador Bacon, to pay for a loaf of bread for every flood victim in Paris and vicinity daily for a period of thirty days. B The American subscriptions re- ceived over night included $5,000 from Henry C. Frick of Pittsburg and $1,000 from citizens of Baltimore. The grand total of American subscriptions now exceeds $160,000,the largest sum con- tributed by any foreign country. Ambassador Bacon, who has made a personal visit to many of the hos- pitals, soup kitchens and temporary places of refuge, appears enthusiastic over the effectiveness of the relief or- ganization and intelligent system by which aid is rendered. The Red Cross has more than 500 privately owned au- tomobiles at its disposal and fifty- three relief depots have been estab- lished in Paris and suburbs. It is es- timated that the public charities de- partment and the Red Cross are dis- tributing daily more than 100,000 loaves of bread. EXHAUSTIVE TARIFF PROBE President Directs New Board to Pre- parc for Inquiry. ‘Washington, Feb. 3.—An exhaustive study of the whole subject of the tar- iff is planned by President Taft. He has directed the tariff bodrd author ized under the recent tariff act to pre- pare for such an inquiry.

Such an in- véstigation of the subjett as was re cently made by the German govern ment is sought by the president.

Dispatches from Greece say all available reserves are being mobilized and irregular companies are being or- ganized in the villages and subscrip- tions are being raised to supp -t these bands. Turkey is not at all averse to a war at this time, as the administration be- lieves a Buropean plot exists to hu- miliate the Young Turks. The Young Turks say they are glad of the oppor- tunity to assert their power, even though it involves a war. Active military preparations are be- ing made throughout Turkey, the effi- ciency of the army organization great- ly surprising foreign diplomats. Turkey looks upon Crete’s deter- mination to send representatives to the new Greek parliament as a re- nouncing of Turkish sovereignty. - AVOID HARSH DRUGS. Many Cathartics Tend to Cause Injury to the Bowels. If you are subject to constipation, you should avoid strong drugs and cathartics, They only give tem- porary relief and their reaction is harmful and sometimes more an- noying than constipation. ” They in no way effect a cure and their tendency is to weaken the already weak organs with which they come in contact, We honestly believe that we have the best constipation treat- ment ever devised.
