When Mrs. Mildred Money entered the lecture field and de- livered one of her rousing lectures, it was a case of where money talked. An eastern physician made the statement that the night air is often purer than that of the day. Tell your wife that the next time you are caught out late. Statistics show that the wearing of silk has greatly increased among American women, and especially the wearing of American silks. It shows improved living conditions among people who do not prefer an article because it is foreign made, rather than an American made article that is just as good. This may also account in a measure for one of the high costs of living. The demands of the Northern Minnesota Development congress, recently held at Bemidji, have been heard in the remotest corner of Min- nesota, carrying reproof to those who in the past have denied that people a just and fair representation in legislative assemblies. The earnest- ness and unanimity of the delegates there assembled promise results, in the securing of a fair reaportion- ment and more favorable conditions for the settlers of that section. The state can no longer deny Northern Minnesota, with a 50 per cent. in- crease in population in fifteen years, the representation to which those counties are entitled.—Post News. To casual observers of things political it would appear that the bankers of Minnesota—or a few of them—are trying to “‘get a corner” on the job of state treasurer. Al Kaiser, the Bagley banker, and not such a bad sort of fellow at that, is receiving much favorable mention for the position, while John Sheehy, president of the First State bank of Montgomery, has already announced himself a candidate for the Repub- lican nomination for state treasurer. Of the latter we know nothing, being a stranger to us, but we have an idea that the man from Montgom- ery will find himself up against a hard man to beat should Mr. Kaiser enter the race. At any rate, the fight [will be watched with much interest in the event the two bank- ers are pitched against each other for this important office.—Northome Record. The fact that a clock has a loud strike is not absolute that it is right, neither are loud talking men always right. Is the price of victuals to blame because there are women willing to sell their hair that other woman may bedeck themselves? How much have women elevated business standards since they be- came mixers? You cannot tell the character of mince pie by the inspection. FRANGE GETS LITTLE | FROM CHURCH SALES Most of the Receipts Ate Up by Expenditures. Paris, March 11.—No further arrests have been made in connection with the scandal developed in the discov- ery of a shortage of something like $2,000,000 in the accounts of M. Duez, one of the liquidators of the church properties taken over by the state. The severe criticism of the judicial authorities for the lax control exer- cised over the liquidators continues, however, and the prosecuting attor- ney’s office especially is being attacked sharply. The Journal gives some interesting figures regarding the deterioration of the property of non-authorized congre- gations and teaching orders which former Premier Waldeck-Rousseau originally estimated would realize $200,000,000 for the state. After in- ventories had been made the esti- mated figures were reduced to $100,- 000,000 and subsequently to $50,000, 000 when the church issued a decree of ex-communication against the pur- chasers. As a matter of fact the gross receipts thus far from this prop- erty amount to only $19,000,000, of which sum $13,200,000 has been ex- pended in the adjudication of claims against the property and in other costs, - including attorneys’ fees, ex- penditures and commissions to the lquidators.

Madrid, March 11.—Premier Canale- jas, in an important speech in the cortes outlining the government’s pro- gramme, appealed for the united sup- port of all the radical and democratic forces in the approaching struggle “to Europeanize and modernize Spain.” ‘Without such support, he declared, the fight against the growing power of clericalism and reaction was fore- doomed to failure. Calhoun Starts for China. Chicago, March 11.—William J. Cal- houn, the new United States minister to China, accompanied by Mrs. Cal- houn, has left Chicago for the Pacific coast, thence across the Pacific to the Celestial kingdom. He will sail from San Francisco March 15 on the liner Tenyo Maru and after a brief stay in Honolulu will reach Yokohama on April 9. Dried Herring Polsons Family. Pomeroy, Ia., March 11.—One child dead and two others seriously sick as a result of poisoning following the eat- ing of dried herring purchased of a Chicago mail order house is the grief that has come to the home of Mr. and Mrs E. B. Barger of Pocahontas. May Settle Switchmen’s Strike. St. Paul,, March 11.—The switch- men’s strike, which has been dragging along since Nov. 30 last, may be set- tled shortly. This statement is based on the report that the board of arbitra- tion at its meeting with the switch- men was practically empowered to ad- just matters, provided certain de- mands of the workers are agreed to by the railroads. Dublin May Honor Roosevelt. Dublin, March 11.—The lord mayor of Dublin has received a public letter suggesting that Dublin grant to Theo- dore Roosevelt the freedom of the city, as the letter goes on to say, “he has done more for the Irish people and the Catholics in America than all his predecessors put together.” Fully nine out of ten cases of rheumatism is simply rheumatism of the muscles due to cold or damp or chronic rheumatism, neither of which require any internal treat- ment. .

EARTH SHOCK CAUSES ALARM California Experiences Se- vere Vibrations. NEAR PANIC IN THEATERS Scores of People Jump ¢o Their Feet In San Francisco Play Houses and at San Jose About Half the Audience Leaves the Building—Western Union Operators at Frisco Desert Their Keys for a Time: San Francisco, March 12.—A sharp earthquake, in some parts of the state the severest shock since the big one of 1906, was experienced throughout the central part of California. The vibrations were long and undu- latory, but slow, and the duration as usually given from one and a half to four seconds. From reoorts received the shake was felt as far south as San Luis Obispo, but did not appear to ex- tend far north of San Francisco. The pronounced heavy movements with a slight interval of undulations between were felt, but no damage has been re- ported. In San Francisco the people were generally aroused and in the Western Union office virtually every operator left his key, which caused a report to come from Portland that some of the San Francisco wires had been inter- rupted. Causes Alarm in Theaters. In two of the local theaters, where the last act was closing, scores of peo- ple jumped to their feet and in one of them there was a decided movement from the galleries toward the exits which was promptly stopped by a po liceman. In an Oakland theater also a number of timid persons started for the doors of the theater, but cries of “sit down” promptly stopped them. But for the presence of mind of an actress the earthquake would have caused a panic at the Garden theater at San Jose. The people in the build- ing jumped up and started to jam the entrance, but were quieted when she commanded them to sit down and went on with the performance. About half the audience remained throughout the play, but the other half left the thea- ter in an orderly manner. Medicines that aid nature are always most successful.

WILL BALLOT ON A STATEWIDE STRIKE Resolution Adopted by Pennsyl- vania Labor Federation, Newcastle, Pa, March 11.—The committee of nine appoiated to devise means of carrying into effect the reso- lution calling for a general state, and possibly countrywide labor strike, in the event that arbitration fails in the labor situation at Philadelphia, report- ed to the convention of the Pennsyl- vania State Federation of Labor in session here. President Greenwalt of the state or- ganization was- empowered by the committee with the right to call upon President Taft, United States Sena- tors Penrose and Oliver and Governor Stuart to use their best efforts to com- pel an arbitration of the Philadelphia car men’s strike question within ten days. The committee further stated that they had issued a request to all state local union organizations to call spe- clal sessions to vote on the question of a statewide strike within fifteen days and report the results by wire to President Greenwalt. TUpon the result of such a vote the general statewide strike will depend, according to the committee. The convention unanimously adopt- ed the committee’s report. Are you freguently hoarse? Do you have that annoying tickling in your throat? Does your cough annoy you at night, and do you raise mucus in the morning? Do you want relief?

London, March 11.—When Lord Rosebery on Monday launches his plan for the reformation of the house of lords he will present a set of three resolutions embodying in - general terms the course which the peers pro- -pose to follow in modernizing them- selves. As Lord Rosebery has been in consultation with a majority of the members of the upper house there is little question that the resolutions rep- resent the gemeral view of the lords on the subject of reorganization. The first resolution will afirm the necessity for a strong and efficlent second chamber for the well being of the state. The second will set forth that such a chamber will be best ob- falnable by the reform and reconstitu- tion of the house of lords. The third will declare that a necessary prelim- inary to such reform and reconstitu- tlon s the acceptance of the princi- ples that the possession of a peerage in itself should no longer afford the ;lg:t to sit and vote in the house of lords.

London, March 12.—Despite the fact that he has been the target for an avalanche of criticism and abuse since his recent declaration for different stendards of morality for men and women Sir John Bigham, until a few days ago thre president of the divorce division of the English court, reiter- ated his views and sought to explain his position. “Misconduct by & man,” he said, “has net anything like the same sig- nificance as misconduct of a woman. On the part of a man it may be more or less accidental and not inconsistent with continued love and esteem of his wite. “But misconduct by & woman is in- consistent with love and esteem of her husband.” 5 This explanation does not seem likely to reinstate Sir John in the good graces of those who disagree with him. MYSTERY OF ROBBERY SOLVED Lawyer Declares He Can Explain Chi- cago Sub-Treasury Steal. Chicago, March 12—The mystery surrounding the disappearance of the $173,000 from the United States sub- treasury three years ago is solved, according to a declaration made in Judge Brentano’s court by Attorney James J. Barbour. He is representing one of the defendants in the suit for $50,000 for malicious prosecutien brought by George W. Fitzgerald, former teller in the United States sub- treasury, against William Boldenweck, sub-treasurer; Herbert Young and oth- ers, which was dismissed on motion of Fitzgerald. B “Your honor, we have the evidence as to how the $173,000 was stolen and we wish to make use of this informa- tion, even if we have to proclaim it at a town meeting,” said Attorney Barbour. OREGON CONGERNS INDICTED Had Acquired Much Timber Land in That State. Portland, Ore., March 12.—The in- dictment against offictals of the Sump- ter Valley railway and the Oregon Lumber company, which was returned here in the federal distriét court, is said to be the result of investigations of Special Agent Goode of the general land office into the acquisition of sev- eral thousand acres of land in East- ern Oregon. The lumber company is said-te own about 900 claims, comprising 180,000 acres. GRAIN AND PROVISION PRICES Minneapolis Wheat.

TWO OFEENDERS HIT HARD Draw Six Years’ Imprisonment in the Federal Penitentiary at Leaven- worth, Kan., and Are Assessed $15, 000 Each—Prisoners May -Be Re- turned to Chicago for Examination by the Grand Jury. Chicago, March 12.—Summary ac- Jdon was taken by Judge K. M. Landis of the United States district court in sentencing violators of the federal laws regulating the manufacture and sale of oleomargarine. He fixed the punishment of Samuel Driesbach, who pleaded guilty, at a fine of $16,000 and 8ix years’ imprisonment in the United States penitentiary at Leavenworth, Kan. To Daniel Bortz, who also pleaded guilty, the court meted out an eighteen months’ term in the house of correc- tion in this city. William Broadwell, who was sentenced some days ago, must meet like punishment with Dries- bach. On the order of the court Bortz was immediately taken to the prison. and preparations were made to take Dries- bach and Broadwell to Leavenworth at once. The quick execution of the sentence was unexpected, as it had been inti- mated by the presiding judge that the men who have been giving much in: formation concerning the oleomarga- rine business would not be sent to jail until their confessions had been given to the grand jury. The attention of the court had been called to statements attributed to the three defendants since they were sent to the county jail to await the grand Jjury investigation and he disposed of the cases by sentencing the men. Should the grand jury, which is ex- pected to take up the investigation of the alleged irregularities in the manu- facture and sale of oleomargarine, make a request the prisoners will be returned from the prison to testify. * Arbor Day in Minnesota.
