Keep your egyes opened and wait, the longer you wait the more interesting the ‘‘come back.” Wait until editor Roosevelt and editor Bryan disagree about some big topic, as digging a well or shingling a house and you’ll hear all about “coming back.” Minnesota is engaged in the min- ing busiuess and receives an .income of more than $1,000 from that source. The state has thirteen working mines from which this income is derived and in addition an annual rental is paid on many others that are not being werked, but which will be opened by the leasing companies atalater date. The working mines and leases will make a total income for the year of about $400,000. The output on which a_ royalty will be paid will be 1,200,000 tons.

There are symptoms of a dispo- sition in too many quarters to be- little the crusade against the “harm- less little housefly.” But the know- ledge is steadily spreading that the fly is the deadly enemy of the race, the filthv carrier of disease, the menace to life, and must be shut out at all hazards. The flyless home is’ the only wholesome home.—Zumbro Falls Enterprise. LIKE UNTO THE COMET. To date the insurgent republi- cans of the First congressional district have not found a man who is willing to lead the fight in the district against “Tawney. The leaders that have been mentioned are somewhat like Halley’s comet. Their coming is heralded with much noise but they soon passand dis- appear. Mr. Tawney appears to exert some unknown but powerful force that sends the leaders of the insuigents in the First district into eclipse.—Faribault Pilot.

BATTLE LASTS HALF AN HOUR Disorder in Connection With Coal Miners’ Strike. Irwin, Pa., Aug 5.—More disorder in the coal miners’ strike in the Greensburg district -has broken out. Alleged strike sympathizers stormed a lodging house at Hahntown, where strikebreakers were -‘quartered, and, attacking the forty deputy sheriffs guarding the house, succeeded in rout- ing the officers until reinforcements last evening was without doubt the best that it has played this season. With Mrs. Matthews as an added attraction, the boys gave Bemidjia program that many larger cities would have liked to hear. Those who heard the concert especially appreciate Mrs. Matthews kindness in singing with the band. She receives nothing for her services but likes to do anything that will make the concert more successful. Mrs. Matthews has a clear sweet voice and it was heard to advantage in “Glowworm” last night. Having the concert in the park produced several good features. It was possible to hear the singer at all times as the grass deadened the footfalls of those walking at that time. On the dock, the walking at times nearly drowned out the singer. From the lake, the music sounded as well from the park as from the dock. Judge C. W. Stanton, through the energy of some friend or friends, is receiving the practically unanimous endorsement of the attorneys in his district. Judge Stanton is a demacrat. The majority of the -attorneys are re- publicans. He believes the judici- ary should be independent and will seek re-election as an independent, and will probably have no opposition, notwithstanding the recent activity of friends of the liquor traffic who are disgruntled’ because the Judge said recently at Aitken that county option should receive fair treatment at the hands of all political ‘parties, arrived. The battle between the strikers and deputies lasted half an hour, over 200 shots being exchanged. One striker was found after the fighting with a bullet in his leg. One arrest was made, that of a foreigner. LOST ON GREAT.LAKES IN 1852 Searchers Believe They Have Located Vessel With Rich Cargo. Detroit, Aug. 6.—Believing they have a $400,000 treasure in their grasp men are guarding night and day what is believed by them to be the wreck of the steamer Atlantic off Long point, in Lake Erie. " The Atlantic was sunk in collision in 1852 by the steamer Ogdensburg and 150 lives were lost. Many were drowned in their berths. The wreck lies in 158 feet of water. In the hold, it is believed, divers will find two safes containing $400,000 in gold. The wreck of the Atlantic was found virtually intact. No skeletons were found by the superficial examination.

MISS LENEVE [INNOCENT) Declares Girl Companion Knew Noth- ing of Belle Elmore’s Disappearance Except What He Had Told Her—In- ference Made That a Criminal Op- eration ‘Was the Cause of the Wo- man’s Death. Quebec, Aug. 5.—Dr. Hawley Har- vey Crippen, according to the positive statement of the Quebec correspond- ent of the London Chronicle, has con- fessed that he killed his actress wife, Belle Elmore. This correspondent ca- bled the following dispatch to his paper: “‘It is quite true,’ said the prisoner, ‘that’ T did kill my wife. But it was a mistake that I made trying to hide it. I should not have done this. I will say nothing more of my wife’s death until I return to England. Then I shall prove that, although T killed my wife, I am not a murderer. I made this confession to free Miss Leneve from suspicion. She, poor girl, knew absolutely nothing of my wife's disappearance except what I had told her.’ ” The correspondent added that Crip- pen wept when referring to Miss Le- neve. Although it is impossible to get In- spector Dew to confirm the reported confession a cable sent by Miss Le- neve to her sister in London bears out at least that part in which Crip- pen says his companion knew nothing of the true reason for the disappear- ance of Belle Elmore. Says She Is Returning Home. “I had seen or heard nothing until the cruel blow fell. Am returning home,” was what her cable said. Inspector Dew’s demeanor does not shake belief in the authenticity of the reported confession. Although the Scotland Yard detective refused to ad- mit that Crippen has confessed he cannot conceal the fact that on Mon- day, the day on which the confession is reported to have been made, he did have a conference with Crippen, at which three other police officials were present. “What did Crippen say at this in- terview If he didn't confess?” the in- spector was asked. “That,” he replied, with what may have been the suspicion of a satisfied twinkle in his eye,” is something that I may call police business only. I cannot take the public into my confi- dence at this time.” In Crippen’s confession the infer- ence is made that his wife died from the effects of an illegal operation, per- formed by her dentist husband.
