TWO DROWNED SUNDAY. Minneapolis, July 29.—Two young men were drowned yesterday on out- ings at Lake Minnetonka and on the Minnesota river. Hugh Owens, twen- ty-five years old, Longfellow avenue and Thirty-first street, was drowned while bathing at Excelsior.

Owens, who a member of a Welsh picnic party, was seized with. cramps when he dived from a spring board. He sank from sight and members of his party, forming a life chain, ‘recovered his body in ten feet of water. Efforts to revive him were unsuccessful. Arthur Knapp was canoing with Elmer Godney, eighteen years old, 3327 Sixteenth avenue south. Their canoe overturned near the ferry at Fort Snelling. Knapp sank from sight, but Godney clung to the canoe and was rescued. Knapp’s body has not been found.

The book contains four more pag- es of names than the one issued a year ago and is takem to indicate a healthy growth of the plant. The book was printed by the Bemidji Pio- neer Publishing company which has published the phone directories in the past. “THE NATION’S BUSINESS.” ‘Washington, D. C., July 29.—The Chamber of Commerce of the United States, of which Harry A. Wheeler of Chicago is president, will begin pub- lishing “The Nation’s Business” on September 1. This periodical will be distributed from Washington to the editorial writers of the nation and to the constituent members of the National Chamber of Commerce. It is intended to furnish a survey of the constructive progress of the nation along lines of agriculture, mining, manufacture, transportation, distribution and finance. It will be devoted to the news of progress and of organized promotion. It will in- clude statistical statements of devel- opment and cover the bureaus of the government departments that are re- lated to business and commercial ac- tivities at home and abroad. PARTY MUDDLES IN NEBRASKA. Lincoln, Neb., July 29—“Extreme- 1y muddled” are the two words that best describe the political situation in Nebraska on the eve of the state conventions, which are to meet to- morrow to draft the party platforms, reorganize the state committees and take other measures preliminary to entering upon the fall campaign. The state tickets and other nominations were made in the primaries last spring. The Republican convention, which will meet in this city, will see a bit- ter renewal of the warfare between the standpatters led by Victor Rose- water and the progressives under the leadership of Congressman George ‘W. Norris. It promises to be a fight to a finish for the control of the state organization. What the result will be no one can fortell with certainty. Either faction may indorse the state ticket as it stands, claiming it as its own, or either may bolt and file a new list of candidates by petition. ‘Whichever course is pursued will still leave the situation up in the air so far as the dispute over presidential electors .is concerned. The ,outlook for harmony in the Democratic staté convention, which will assemble in Grand Island, is not much brighter than that of the Re- publicans. The convention is con- fronted with the prospect of a bitter |by. ie-Harmon Democrats that the Bryan- followers have attempted to read them out of the party. The trouble was started several weeks ago by the discovery of a circular let- ter said to have been sent broadecast by Tom Allen, Bryan's brother-in- law, in which a vigorous attack was made upon the present Democratic state committee. The circular ap- pealed to Bryan Democrats to drive [from control all who did not favor Wilson’s mnomination. The attack ‘was looked upon as coming direct T0 HARVEST GREAT CROP Thousands of Hands Needed In Min- nesota, the Dakotas and Far- ther West. RAILROADS RUSHING WORK. Minneapolis, July 29.—Two hun- dred men from Indiana, Illinois and Ohio, mostly strong young felolws, from eighteen to twenty-five years of age, bound, they said for the harvest fields of North Dakota, went through Minneapolis late Saturday. They had heard, they said, of the need of har-| vest hands in North Dakota and western Canada and good wages to be paid and were headed for Fargo and Minot. One man from the vicin- ity of Xenia, Ohio, said there will be several hundred more along next week. “They are only a drop in the bucket,” said Immigration Agent E. C. Leedy of the Great Northern road. The Montana bench lands need men this year, and from the bench land grain fields a call has been sent in to the Great Northern for 1,000 harvest hands. Labor trouble on the Grand Trunk Pacific road, in western Canada, may help the harvesting situation south of the line somewhat, as it is expect- ed that some men who have left em- ployment on construction work will turn in at harvesting, either in Sas- katchewan or Alberta or south of the line, in Montana or North Dakota. The tier of northern counties in North® Dakota, including Pembina, Cavalier, Towner, Rolette, Bottineau, and Ward, through which the Soo line’s Kenmare to Thief River Falls extension passes, and where the Great Northern branch lines extend northward to the border, needs 6,500 men, according to estimates sent in to Mr. Leedy. “The greatest crop that the north- ‘west ever heard of is standing ready to cut, or is almost ready to cut,” Mr. Leedy said. “Every able-bodied man who goes out will get some sort of a job if he is looking for work, and if he does not find it at the first sta- tion he strikes he will not have to go far to find it.” By drastic order emanating direct from a special meeting of executive officials of the Milwaukee road in Chicago all work on track lowering on the Hastings & Dakota division along Twenty-ninth street was stop- ped Saturday and orders issued for day and night rush work in prepara- tion for what is expected to be the Leaviest movement of grain into Min- neapolis in the history of the road. Vice-president E. W. McKenna sent the order to Minneapolis after he had returned from the grain fields. The big steam shovel, just in the process of cutting across Lyndale av- enue, stopped on the minute, and was switched away preparatory to work at once putting the tracks into better condition for heavy traffic. In the new Bass Lake grain yards, just out- side the city limits, F. J. Mann & Co., contractors of Milwaukee, with two steam shovels, began work that is to increase the capacity of that termi- nal from 500 to 1,500 cars and which FIVE NAMED FOR - STATE CONVENTION Progressives of Beltrami County Met in Court House This Morning to Take Action. DELEGATES GO UNINSTRUCTED —_— No Sentiment Developed for Third Party in Minnesota and Some Opposition is Felt. MINNESOTA MEETING TUESDAY Will Be Held in St. Paul and Ques- tions of Local Policy Will Be Set- tled at that Time. “A small but enthusiastic audi- ence” would describe the Progress- ive Republican convention held in the court house at 11 a. m. today. Thirteen men composed the conven- tion and they elected five of their number to go to St. Paul for the state convention which will be held there tomorrow. The meeting this morning was tak- en by some to indicate that there is as much Roosevelt sentiment in the county as before the regular state convention was held but others be- lieved that the Colonel has lost ground since the Chicago conven- tion. All were agreed that it was but right that his name should be on the state ticket in one form or an- other so that the voters themselves could express their choice by ballot. F. S. Arnold was chosen chairman and F. S. Lycan secretary, the F. S.’s “having it.” K. K. Roe, F. S. Arnold, T. J. Welsh, J. J. Opsahl and Wiliiam Chichester were elected delegates to represent Beltrami coun- ty at St. Paul in the state cofrven- tion. They will go uninstructed. The only real discussion which the meeting developed was as to wheth- er or not the delegates should stand for a third party in the state. It was deeided to leave this matter for the delegates to settle when on the ground with the understanding that the opinion of the meeting was that a third party movement was not nec- essary and that all the voters here wish is an opportunity to vote for or reject Roosevelt on the ballot. Some of those attending the meeting favored the printing of the names of the presidential electors on the bal- lots. - The state convention will be held in St. Paul tomorrow. Since the vis- it of Sam Y. Gordon to Colonel Roosevelt last week, it appears that the third party movement is not be- ing received in Minnesota with any enthusiasm although the Roosevelt supporters are willing to have his " name on the ballot so that a- direct vote of the people may be obtained. KEEP PUPILS HEALTHY. School authorities are realizing it is difficult and practically useless to attempt to educate pupils who have poor health. A number of cities in the state have appointed school phy- sicians whose duty is to see there is nothing which hinders development into a sound body. ‘Weak eyes, unnoticed by parents, have been discovered and eyesight saved by these inspectors. Adenoids, the little nodules in the nasal pass- ages, have been discovered. These have hindered the promotion of more than one pupil, on account of their effect on the general health. Pupils with adenoids are usually dull. The removal of the growth often does wonders, but pafents are seldom trained to notice this growth. Ev- ery community might well afford to consider having a paid school phy- sician this fall.—State Board of Health. Boy Scouts to Holland. The president of the Boy Scouts of Holland has invited the Boy Scouts of America to take part in an International Boy Scouts gathering the summer of 1913, during the Dutch National Festivities. Invita- tions have already been extended to the Boy Scouts in Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Germany, France, Belgium, Spain, Switzerland, Ttaly, Russia, Austria, England, Scotland, Ireland, ‘Wales and the Dominions of the Bri- tish Empire. James E. West, Chief Scout Executive of the Boy Scouts of America, says that plans will be it to be done before the big rush of grain starts. ‘worked out to send to the Scouts in different parts of this country to visit Holland, s
