POLITICAL FAMILY FIGHTS. ‘The republicans are not the only political family that is breaking dishes and smashing the chandeliers. Of course we know that brothers in democracy normally look upon each other as renegades and cut-throats. But it is distressing ‘that . in the saintly-souled temperance ranks the same savage intestine colics should ferment, The conflict waged in the recent prohibition convention held at Madison, Wis. still rumbles, Rev. A. L. Tull of that_city roasts the Hon. J. B. Smith, who was twice candidate for governor on the prohi- bition ticket. One might venture to suggest that temperance forces need their united strengths to do the work that a great moral obligation imposes; that it is criminal to waste efforts in bickering. But paradoxical as it may seem these hampering blockades result in most rapid progress. Men grow indolent except in opposition. Man is a per- verse creature. When the door is open he stands still; but let some- body put up the bars and he smashes it down. It takes opposition and Manufactures—Hardwood handles, lum- ber, lath, shingles, and various other industries. Great Distributing Point—Lumber prod- ucts, grocerieszflour, feed and hay.

So long as the inhabitants of that isle confine their attentions ta each other the re~taf the world| will only protest in a perfunctory sort of manner. In Bemidji and vicinity there is a boom on for the the nomination of Judge Spooner for the ‘position of chief justice of the supreme court in 1911, The judge is very popular man, and.is considered an able jurist.—Grand Forks Herald. John Ley of St. Cloud, the effici- ent city director man, has just completed a directory for Bemidji, the first one that village has ever had.-—Wheelock Weekly, Fergus Falls. Village? Well not exactly. ;,ooo population puts a ten year old community far out of the vil- lage class. Itis reported that persons inter- ested in the liquor business at Moor- head have been keeping watch on conflict to stir good action—even in achurchora Y. M. C. A. The practical philosophy of life is that it is never too late to worry. Until the novelty wears off it must be pretty comforting to be a successful puglist. You can’t “uplift” the masses by climbing a pedestal and trying to raise others to your artificial level. You might as well know that you cannot be great or good enough to escape criticism. BIG PULE FALLS ON AUTUISTS One Dead and Several Injured in Pe- culiar Accident. Lake Geneva, Wis.,, Aug. 13.—Bar- ney Kathan of Woodstock, Ill, was killed and three male companions IMMENSE FEES FOR MHURRAY Latter’s Agent on Stand:in Indian Land Probe. OTHER CONTRACTS MADE George W. Scott Testifies ‘That His Employer Would Have Cleaned Up $4,000,000 Had Plans Gone Through. Indians Reiterate That They Signed Papers Because of Impatience With Government Methods. Sulphur, Okla., Aug. 13.—That J. A. McMurray had contracts with the In- dians by which in the sale of their lands he would receive not only $3, 000,000 as attorneys’ fees but 'also agreements calling for $1,500,000 in other fees was testified to by George ‘W. Scott before the special congres- sional committee. Scott acted as an agent for McMurray. Scott worked on the prairies, inducing the Indians to sign the contracts. It was he who was mentioned as having urged the In- dians to send telegrams to President Taft importuning him to approve of the sale of the land on a 10 per cent attorney fee basis, which President Taft subsequently refused to do. Cecil A. Lyon, national Republican committeeman from Texas, also is here and probably will testify. Accord- ing to previous testimony Lyon was financially interested with McMurray in what were known as the old tribal contracts, disapproved by President Roosevelt in 1908, but is not interest- ed in the present contracts. Conspicuous among the witnesses called to testify was Douglas V. John- son, chief of 8,000 Chickasaw Indians. Johnson, together with 85 per cent of his tribe, signed the McMurray con- tracts. Chief Johnson, a strong Indian with black hair and broad shoulders, has made it known that he signed the con- tracts ‘because of impatience at the government’s delay in disposing of the land.

The four men were returning to ‘Woodstock from Milwaukee and were driving thirty miles an hour. John Whiteworth was at the wheel and at- tempted to make a turn in the road without slackening speed. The machine skidded for nearly a hundred feet and plunged into a tele- phone pole. The automobile did not upset, but broke the pole off about three feet from the ground. The upper part of the pole fell with great force into the automgbile, striking Kathan on the head awd crushing the other occupants of the car against the doors and steering gear.

Just how that affects the Moorhead situation, how- ever, is not clear.—Grand Forks Herald. Germans insure forests as they do any other inflammable property. The approximate value of the forests of Prussia, reckoned at $119 per hectare (2.47 acres), is $950,- 000,000. The annual average risk of forest fires in the kingdom for the five years was less than two ten-thousandths of their value, which compares favorably with the annual risk in house and:furni- ture in insurance, which is about one-thousandth of the value. The small losses from forest fires, and the strict requirements and de- mands of the insurance companies, are said to account for the low per- centage of of forests insured = by their owners in Prussia, CHEER FROM DAKOTA.
