That doesn’t mean that they run every day or that they are vestibuled passenger trains carrying diners. They run every week— some weeks—and they carry passengers and freight, but only asan accomoda- tion. Last week a train came through from Plummer and it had all the freight it could handle. Another train pulled forty-four cars filled with freight. Track gangs are at work and it is expected that within the next two weeks the roadbed will be in such shape as to permit the running of a mixed traln every other day. A revision of the new depot plans is being made and it is not likely that that structure can be started before spring. In the meantime an operator will be installed in the Soo headquarters on Minnesota. PLUMMER SENDS $108 CASH Village of Less Than 200, Raises This | Amount for Fire Sufferers. Mayor John C.

NGINES WORKING WELL Wireless Message From the Big Diri- gible Says Everything Is Doing Nicely, With an Average Speed of Fifteen Knots an Hour—Will En- deavor to Keep Within the Course Taken by Transatlantic Steamers. Atlantic €City, N. J,, Oct. 17.—Walter Wellman's big airship America is on its way to Kurope. After weeks of delay, which had aroused doubt in the minds of all but the very staunchest supporters of Wal- ter Wellman, aeronaut and explorer, the start was made in a heavy fog. It was 8:03 a. m. when the big craft left the ground. It floated right into the fog off shore and within five min- utes was lost to sight. ‘When the big airship left the ground.| Mr. Wellman did not know whether only a test would be made or if the trip to Europe would be started at once. It depended on how he found things when he got into thé air, he said. ‘When he left here it was his inten- tion to go north, following the New Jersey coast as far as New York. If he found the airship was working to his satisfaction and that conditions re- mained right he intended following the route of steamers up to Nantucket and then turn eastward and follow the tracks of the transatlantic liners across the ocean. He expected to make every effort to keep in the steamship tracks, so in case of acci- dent he would be close to steamers with wireless, with which the airship is also equipped, and could be quickly rescued if the crew was compelled to take to the lifeboat attached to the America. For a time after the start apprehen- sion was felt of something going wrong and the expedition being forced to return, but as the aours went by, bringing cheerful messages of prog- ress from the wireless operator on board the airship, a feeling of confi- dence succeeded that of doubt. Message From Wellman. At 1 o’clock Wellman himself flashed a message to Joseph W. Salus, head of the local syndicate backing the expedition. In it Wellman said everything was going smoothly and all on board were doing their best to repay the loyal support they had re- celved. In reply to the message received by President Salus of Wellman’s com- pany Operator Miller flashed the fol- lowing message within his sending zone, with the request that they pick up the America as sogn as possible: “Walter Wellman, aboard the air- ship America: Great work. One of the achievements of the century. Plaudits -from everybody. Our best wishes and godspeed to yourself and Vaniman. With your family and will stay with them until we hear that you have reached. Please continue to flash.” The crew aboard the America when she left the ground included Walter ‘Wellman, Melvin Vaniman, chief en- gineer; F. Murray Simons, navigator of the expedition; J. K. Irwin, wire- less operator in charge of the Amer- ica’s system, and Albert Louis Loud and John Aubert, assistant engineers. The airship’s gas bag has some- thing of the shape of a cigar and is 228 feet long. Its width is about fifty- two feet and it is said to be capable of lifting about twelve tons. The en- velope carrying the gas weighs more than two tons. Car Is 156 Feet Long. Attached to the big gas bag is a car 166 feet long. The floor of this is really a large fldt tank in which the gasoline is stored for the motors. The America carries three gasoline en- gines, one of which is a donkey and the other two are used for motive power. They are in the center of the car and are of about eighty-horse- power. A lifeboat twenty:seven feet long to be used in case the balloon is wrecked hangs beneath. An equilibrator, 330 feet long, which takes the place of a drag rope used on balloons is also carried. It con- sists of a long steel cable, to which are attached thirty small steel tanks, each carrying seventy-five pounds of gasoline, and forty wooden blocks. The blocks are about twenty inches long. The equilibrator makes it un- necessary to carry ballast. It is in- tended that the balloon shall sail at a height of about 200 feet. If it.settles close to the water the wood blocks and the tank would float; thus relieving the balloon of some of its weight. As the gasoline is re- quired the steel cable will be pulled up into the car of the balloon and a tank emptied. Altogether the Amer- fca carries 9,000 pounds of gasoline. LIEGLER GO. Canada to Control Copyright. Ottawa, Ont,, Oct. 17.—The British government has finally agreed to give Canada full control over foreign copy- right regulations in the Dominion. Heretofore a British copyright was ef- fective in Canada and an American publisher obtaining a British copy- right was also protected in the Do- minjon. - A Canadian copyright will be necessary under’ new laws to be en- acted at once. Carries Record Load of Ln;nl;er. Portland, Ore., Oct. 17.—When tha British ship Knight of the Garter sailed for Shanghai with 5,000,000 feet of lumber on board, she broke her own ‘world’s record for the largest cargo of lumber ever put afloat. On June 10 the vessel sailed from here with 4, 920,000 feet of lumber, which, until now, was the largest cargo known to have been floated. When You “ Stars.” The man who when struck violently on the head says he “saw stars” is not far from telling the truth. The fact is that there is u phosphorescent pow- er in the eye which does not attract a persoun’s attention under ordigary con- ditious, but which is distributed and reveals itself whenever the-head gets . a sudden shock and sometimes even in the act of sneezing. A blow on the head results in a pressure of the blood vessels upon the retina, causing either total darkness or a faint blue light which floats before the eyes, and it is in this faint blue light the imagination discerns the thousands of fantastic forms and figures that by general ac- ceptance are termed stars: hence, while the astronomical display so fre- quently mentioned may be said to be entirely a creature of the lmagination, there is at least some foundation for the idea. The true nature of the sen- sation is never very apparent, even to the victim, for the simple reason that it is invariably experienced under cir- cumstances which render a searching introspective investigation out of the question. | An Odd Nugget of Gold. There have been many large and oddly shaped gold nuggets found In the United States and elsewhere, but the oddest of them all was that dis- covered at the Midhas mine, on Sulky gully. near Melbourne, Australia, in 1887. The nugget was flat and almost the exact counterpart in contour of a colossal human band held open. with the exception of the thumb and fore- finger, which were closed together in a manner so as to make It appear that the thumb was holding the finger in place. Its greatest length was twelve and a balf inches and its greatest breadth eight inches. It was of the very purest gold, with but a little of foreign substances adhering, mostly between the “fingers.” and weighed 617 ounces. It was found in the north- west main drive of the Midhas mine, 120 feet below the surface of the earth and at a spot only fifty feet from where the famous Lady Brassey nug- get was discovered the year before. It weighed fifty-one pounds of pure gold. Mme. Rejane at Rehearsal. Mme. Rejane at one of her rehearsals was endeavoring to impress upon a young actor the necessity of a tragic expression. “Put yourself in his place,” she said. “But 1 have never been through such an experience,” the other pleaded. “Well, then,” retorted the actress, “4magine you have lost 300 or 400 louis at baccarat and that you have been dismissed from the company.” His face fell. “T'bere you have it,” said she. *Keep that expression and you will win,” For a young woman who could not ‘weep to order she tried a beroic cure. “Very well. 1 will take the part away from you. You are not pretty enough.” This had the desired effect, and the floodgates opened. “Weep like that and you will be the hit of the piece,” exclaimed Rejane triumphantly.—lLondon M. A. P. Balzac and Black Coffee. Balzac was addicted to the use of strong black coffee and depended upon it as a pervous stimulant during the hours which he devoted to composi- tion. Its effect he has himself de- seribed in these words: “The coffee falls into your stomach. Imuwediately everything starts into ac- tion. Your ideas begin to move like Grand Army battalions on the battle- field, and the battle opens. Memories arrive at a ‘run, standards flying; the light cavalry of comparisons breaks into a magnificent gallop; the artillery of logic dashes up and unlimbers; thoughts come rushing up as sharp- shooters; characters spring up on all sides; the puper becomes covered with ink, for the struggle has begun and ends In torrents of black water like the battle in black powder.” Burns as a Tax Collector. In the olden days candles were taxed articles, and it was the duty of Robert Burns as an excise officer to see that the tax was not evaded. He generally looked the -other way, however, as when passing through the kitchen one night at Willlam Lorimer's of Kennl- shall, where the gudewife was busy muking candles. he merely remarked, “Faith, madum. ye're thrang the nicht.” and passed into the parlor.—St. James® Gazette.

DOZEN CASES NOW EXIST Militia Has Taken Charge of Sanita- tion Work and All Plague Spots Are Being Obliterated—President of Min- nesota and Railroad * Says Destitution Is Widespread and Much Aid Is Needed. Baudette, Minn,, Oct. 17.—The na- tional guardsmen in’the fire district, who are exhausted by forty-eight hours of practically constant patrol duty, were reinforced by the arrival of fifty men and six officers from Companies © and E of Duluth. In addition to guarding against dis- order and patrolling the relief stores sent in for the forest fire sufferers the entire body of men in khaki, under General Fred B. Wood, will put through with a vigorous hand the plan of sanitation adopted by Doctors H. W. Hill and G. D. Haggard of the state board of health and Major T. C. Clark, senior surgeon of the Minnesota na- tional guard. Following the sanitary overhauling of Baudette and the inauguration of anti-typhoid measures Spooner was invaded by the soldiers of Health. All plague spots are being literally torn out by the roots. The militiamen are ordering residents and refugeés to drop everything and clean up their re- spective territories. Suspicious wells- are being boarded over. Pumps locat- ed in unhygienic places are being pulled up or broken off. All collections of refuse are being covered with chlo- ride of lime. There have been fifty-seven cases of typhoid in Baudette since spring, and there are now twelve cases in charge of the two visiting nurses. Dr. Hill says, however, that no cases were re- ported to the state board of health from Baudette. IN NEED OF MUCH ASSISTANCE Destitution Widespread Among the Fire Sufferers. Brainerd, Mwinn, Oct. 17.—W. H. Gemell, general manager of the Min- nesota and International railway, who accompanied Governor Eberhart to Baudette, has returned to Brainerd. “While tne loss of life, fortunately, is much less than at first reported,” he said, “there is, of course, much suf- fering from destitution, and the peo- ple of Minnesota will have plenty to do all winter to assist in rendering aid to those who lost their all in the recent disastrous fire. “Evidences of the willingness of the people of Canada to assist in doing what they could to relieve suffering made me doubly proud of my former fellow citizens, the Canadians, and made us realize that after all the brotherhood of man recognizes no im- aginary boundary and that whenever needed we can always depend on one another for help. “At the present timé the committee is well supplied with food. What is most needed now is lumber and other material for building purposes, hay and other fodder for cattle, clothing, shoes and warm underwear for chil- dren and women. Governor Eberhart was much impressed with the gener- ous sympathy expressed all over the state for the sufferers in the northern part thereof and greatly cheered by the generous offers of aid he has re- ceived from all quarters.” International RESULT OF AUTO AGCIDENT Bartlett, Opera Dead at Chicago. Chicago, Oct. 17.—Mrs. Josephine Bartlett Perry, wife of Harold Perry of New York, known to the public as Josephine Bartlett, died at the Baptist bospital from injuries received in an automobile accident in New York a year ago last spring. Mrs. Perry began a career on the stage in 1883 in Chicago with the Chi- cago Ideal Opera company. She has sung in many character parts in Chi- cago, New York and Boston and con- tinued on the stage until the time of her accident. COXEY AGAINST ROOSEVELT Says Former President Alms to Be- come Dictator. New York, Oct. 17.—“General” Ja- cob S. Coxey of-Ohio, who led a fa- mous march of the unemployed on ‘Washington in the spring of 1894, has been in New York for a week or so looking over the political situation from a $25 a day suite in a fashionable hotel. He announces that he intends to buckle down to hard campaign work for the defeat of the Republican ticket in this state. “I am convinced,” he sald in a state- ment to the Democratic committee, “that Theodore Roosevelt aims to be the full fledged boss of the United States. He will accomplish this by peaceful means if he can, and if he fails, then he is going to precipitate a revolutiorf and set himself up as a dic- tator. What he'is trying to do now is to transfer all the powers now held by the states to the federal’ govern- ment and then to put himself at the head of the federal government.” Josephine Byron Andrews Is Dead.
