A man deaf, dumb and blind could not help but catch some of the spirit of the Development Con- vention now in session. On. the streets, in the hotel lobbies, in the— the—ice cream parlors, as well as in the Commercial club rooms and the city hall yesterday, " there was pre- valent a spirit of progress. which will overcome any and every.obstacle that now confronts Northern Minne- sota’s progress or that will come up in the future. In his address Thursday evening, Charles Mitchell, of the Duluth News Tribune, made a strong point when he said the greatest curse to any city was the prevalence of a spirit of jealousy, which resulted in one man hating to sec another making too much money, gaining too much popularity, or receiving too many-honors:from the public in the way of political preferment. This he said, was-a spirit that must’ be relegated to the rear, and he was right. It is that very spirit which has kept thousands of cities. dragging along at the taitend of the proces- sion, instead of being-up in-the-van- guard. When a:man of that stamp is discovered, a man who is always saying mean things about the man who is forging :ahead who ‘insinuates and has his: little hammer out, he should be branded as:a knocker and: shuned: by all decent men. Shun him as you'would a leper ‘when: it comes to matters which in volve the progress: of your. city. His himy shame him into:silence. This same principle should he ap- plied to the various-cities of north- ern Minnesota: and the countless thriving villages. Boost not only for your own town, but for every town in Minnesota, Some :narrow minded individuals. think that ifa Crookston paper publishes some- thing nice about the progress of neighoring northwestern Minnesota, it is. knocking Crookston.and should therefore reserve all boosts for: this city. This is the veriest tommyrot, Crookston and the Times. should boost.not only for Crookston, but for Duluth, St. Paul, Minneapolis,, and for everyone of the ‘smaller cities.in northern Minnesota. If one city is good.in this.great state,. they are all. good, or should be, and every kind word-we can. say.of them, will directly or indirectly:be arkind word for Crookston:at: the same time. People love people who love them. They extend courtesies to those from whom. they receive courtesies. This is the policy of the Times and it is going to be.a-more pronounced policy with this paper. than ever because of the splendid,| feeling that brought so many, dele: gates and boosters to Crookston for this convention ard who have.said so many fine things about our city. Let the cities of northern Minnesota stand together what can prevent the realization of all their just demands? No power on earth. J. W. Wheeler, in his address, and emphasized this sentiment. He said he went to Bemidji when the Development Association was organized, with grave misgivings. He did not think the people would getrtogether as they did. He left the:meeting surprisedand gratified. He'knew tbat unitysof action had beenlacking before the convention, but.a’step. was made in the right direction then.and a hop; skip and jump in the same diaection is now being made in Croockston during this convention. Senator - Stephens’ address last evening-had the right ring to it, when-he:said that with 30 counties banded together for concerted action, the demands made would be granted both as to. re-apportionment. and other matters which will be taken up. Let “Unity of Action” be the slogan of the Northern Minnesota Development Association. in the future. Crookston Times. Mrs. Doxey Denies Charges. St. Louis, June 3.—Mrs. Dora E.

New York, June 3.—Five hundred hysterical women, screaming children and panic stricken men fought their way through dense smoke in the Mott avenue subway station in the Bronx, striving to escape. Only one elevator was available to take them. to the street, which is sixty-five feet above the subway level at this point. The crush to reach this exit or the five, flights of stairs which led to the Hure face increased the panic. Fifteen persons were overcome by smoke and two men were injured seri ously enough to require hospital treat- ment. Fire in an automatic pumping sta- tion caused the smoke. The damage gnflmlnal.

My case baffled all the doctors. They gave me no hope at all, and finally said‘my only chance lay in an operation. I experienced the ut- most agony while undergoing an examination. I dreaded the sur- geon’s knite and was willing to do most any thing to avoid it.
