The gates leading to the estate were closed and bolted.

On Board Roosevelt Train Enroute 2 to New York, Oct. —Colonel Roosevelt has rested well and has slept a great deal of the time on the long, journey from Chicago to Oyster Bay. Elbert E. Martin, the colonel’s stenographer, who grabbed Schrank before he could fire a second bullet at his intended victim,stepped off the train at several points and was at once the target for expressions of admiration and the cameras of news- paper men. At one of the small towns along the way the train started with a Jjolt and nearly threw the passengers from their seats. Tt was the first bump of the trip and those on the train forgot their own discomfort and wondered how the thing had af- fected the Colonel. Dr. Lambert dropped off the train at Bucyrus, Ohio, and likewise fell prey to the camera fiends. An at- tempt was made to have him pose for a picture with Dr. Terrell but Lambert ducked into the car and waved his had to the camera men. Dr. Terrell, however, stood upon the platform and told them to “shoot their heads off.” At Fort Wayne a local committe of Bull Moosettes presented Mrs, Roose- velt with a large bouquet of chrys- anthemums and a crowd of several hundred people endeavored to get a glimpse of the Colonel. They were motioned away by Colonel Cecil Lyon who told them that the doctors ordered the patient| should keep quiet. Mrs. Roosevelt carried the flowers into the colonel’s compartment and then sent a message of thanks to the donors. Just before the colonel retired for the night the following bulletin was issued: “Colonel Roosevelt has been rest- ing well and is very comfortable. Pulse, temperature and respiration normal. (Signed) —<Schurry L. Terrell, “Alexander Lambert.” “The colonel is bearing up well,” ‘said Lambert. “There has been some oozing from the wound. but this is not unusual. It is simply drainage and will help along the healing pro- cess. The colonel is always hungry. His stomach is in that condition in which he wants to eat and will eat almost anything. Altogether, he is in excellent ¢ondition.” To Remove Varnish.

Fanny and Hattie Bogar went to Blackduck on Saturday. Paper Dolls. - Hvery mother who has little daugh- ters to amuse in rainy weather will often resort to paper dolls. Children always dertve a great amount of pleas- prre dressing these, and many an oth- erwise -tedious hour is spent in this manner. . Beautiful dolls,” from six t6 nine dnches tall, ready to dress, may be purchased for from five to ten cents. If you desire to make your own dolls, take a plece of stiff eardboard and draw a head and body, using the purchased doll for a model. Draw the eyes, nose, mouth, eye- brows, ears and hair. With water col- ors paint the features the desired tints. Lovely dresses may be fashioned from crepe and tissue paper, which comes in all tints and shades, plain, figured and in plaid designs. Sup- plied with a pair of scissors, a bottle of mucilage and the paper, children can create many pretty costumes for the paper doll. Unsocial Socialist. At Arden, the single-tax colony near Philadelphia, they tell a story about Upton Sinclair, Mr. Sinclair was having a good deal of trouble, both domestic and political, at Arden, and at the height of this trouble he took the train one day for Philadelphia. A group of jovial drummers sat near him in the smoking car. One of them, nodding in his direction, said to a friend: “Who is that silent, grim, frowns ing chap over there? He looks aas though he loathed all mankind. Who is he? I never saw anybody so un- social.” “Him? the reply. Oh, he’s a Socialist,” was Disarming Powers of Evil. A very interesting custom has just been carried out by the Arab popula- tion of Tripoli. Several huge cranes for salvage work recently arrived there from Genoa, but before any of the 500 Arab workmen could be in- duced to start operations, the Moslem priests were summoned. Then began the celebration of an elaborate rite, during which a larg+ number of young lambs were immol.:ed on the altar, The new salvage plant was smeared from top to bottom by the priests with the blood of the victims, and the cere- mony concluded with a sacred dance around the cranes. After this the Arabs set themselves joyfully to work In the assurance that the powers of evil had been effectively paralyzed.

A. Cassler went out in his corn field at 5 o'clock yesterday to haul in some corn, ‘he found a big bull moose eating from one of the shocks. Mr. Cassler stopped his team and started for the house but the teain took fright and threatened to bolt. When he went back to quiet the horses, the moose walked across the field, jumped the fence and went into the cow pasture with Cassler’s herd. “It was the biggest moose I ever saw,” said Mr. Cassler this morning. “My hired man has been telling me that the cattle must be out as he has seen tracks in the rye but it must have been this moose.” He was a dandy and bigger than any I have ever seen before.” TURKS PANIC STRICKEN (By United Press) Sofia, Bulgaria, Oct. 22.—In the face of the Bulgarians’ continued ad- vance along an exetended front the Turks are rapidly succumbing to compleie panic, according to a semi- official statement made public here. In their disordered fight they were abandoaing rifles, Howitzers, ammu- nition and provisions, it was said. The Bulgarians, the statement ad- ded, were caring for the Turkish children deserted by the fleeing vil- lagers. ADDITIONAL SOCIETY John Wilcox, of Fowlds, is a Be- midji visitor for a few days being the guest of his sister, Mrs. A. P. Hen- rionnet. ! Senator E. J. Swedback returned to Bemidji this morning from Min- neapolis and Jordan, Minnesota, where he has been the past month taking treatments for his rheuma- tism. He says that he feels much better than when he went away. DUCKS'ARE SLAUGHTERED That duck hunting about Bemid- ji is excellent” is becoming com- mon knowledge among the sports of this vicinity. Many hunting parties are returning from daily hunts with a catch of game generally amount- ing to from fifty to one hundred duvks, George Pellow and a party of one or two others returned from Mud lake Sunday with more than fifty birds. LOGS FAST DISSAPEARING The large quantity of logs seen in Lake Bemidji during the past sea- son is rapidly dissappearing. It is reported that there were more logs in Lake Bemidji at any one’ time this season than during previous previous years. This is accounted for the fact that the season cutting was completed early and that the enire cut had left the woods shortly after the mill began sawing. Today the lake is practically clear of logs and it appears that there will be little need of keeping the mills going much longer to clean up the stock on hand. The mill will saw as long as the weather permits. Marshmallows. In a mountain camp this summer the cream" ran short. The campers simply couldn’t get it. They didn't even have the canned variety. A box of marshmallows was on the table when the campers sat down to lunch and one of the women looking into her cup of chocolate minus cream, began to eat a mallow. It didn’t exactly go to the spot. Neither did the watery chocolate. In disgust she put the two together. The marsh- mallow went floating in the cup of chocolate, when, presto! there was something white and foaming! There was cream! Necessity and accident are indeed the mother and the father of invention. Those people learned before their lunch was over that marshmallows take the place of cream. They do! They do indeed! Scoop Changed His Mind About This Straw Vote DEDICATE SAUM SCHOOL C. G. Schulz, state superintendent of schools, W. B. Stewart, county superintendent, and W. P. Dyer, city superintendent, , will be present at the dedication of the new consoli- dated school at Saum Friday. On their way to Saum they will inspect the new school at Shotley.

The school at Saum is worth between £8,000 and $10,000 an was occuppied in September for the first time. . Mr. Schulz has sent out a circular letter which states that the good roads amendment which will be voted on'in the general election has a direet bearing on the rural school question as when better roads come it will be easier to comnsolidate the schorls. He urges the passage of this amendment together with the one calling for an educational and rrofessional standard for the office cf county superintendent. SECOND EXTENSION TRIP. Professor Dyer, Mr. Nelson and the Misses Murray, Eddy and Knap- pen will go to Stanley Knott’s school in town of Eckles tonight on their second extension trip. BIG BLAZE LAST NIGHT. The stumps which have been pull- ed from Carl Heffron’s land west of the High school were set on fire last evening and many people thought that the city was burning up as the dry pime made abig blaze for over an hour. One auto party was twelve miles south of the city and the glare made them believe, the entire city was on fire and they made a record trip home. CROOKSTON 19, FOSSTON 3. Crookston defeated Fosston by a score of 19 to 3 on the Fosston grid- iron Saturday. Fosston scored first by making a field goal but after that Crookston held and by a series of end runs and forward passes was able to make three touchdowns.

Schmahl is a Minnesota product having been born in Tra- verse des Sioux, Nicollet county, in 1867. In 1870 he moved with his parents to Redwood Falls and while there secured a common school ed- ucation. While in school he spent his spare time herding cattle and working on farms until he was fourteen years old. JULIUS A. SCHMAHL At the age of fourteen he went to work as an apprentice in the plant of the Redwood Falls Gazette. Af- ter working there three years, he went to Fargo and worked for two years in the shop of the Argus job printing plant. From Fargo he went to St. Paul and Minneapolis where he worked as a reporter for eight or nine years. Returning to Redwood Falls Mr. Schmahl bought into the Redwood Falls Gazette and formed a partner- ship with James Aiken. He was chief clerk of the house in 1901, at the extra session of 1902, and the 1903 and 1905 sessions. He ran for secretary of state in 1906, was elec- ted and re-elected in 1908 and 1910.

By "HOP" NOW THREATENED Northern Lines Will Not Let Rolling Stock Go Beyond Their Own Boundaries. CONGESTION IS RESULTING Southern Lines Not Able To Handle Produce Being Turned Over at The Transfers. GRAIN RECEIPTS HEAVY Shipments Into Minneapolis Yester- day Were Twice Those Of One Year Ago. Minneapolis, Oct. 21.—The state railroad and warehouse commission yesterday sent letters to Presidents: H. U. Mudge of Rock Island, A. J. Earling of the Milwaukee, S. M. Fallon of Chicago Great Western and Darius Miller of the Burlington, directing attention to the existing car shortage in Minnesota. C. H. Staples, chairman of the commission said today that if these roads do not get more cars intd Minnesota soom, a very serious condition will resuit. “Potato shippers of Northern Min- Desota are complaining bitterly,” Sgaples said, “the Great Northern, Northern Pacific and Soo lines amd the Omaha road, which have brought in potatoes from the north, have rules that have been in effect since the big grain crops began to move that they will not let their loaded cars go forward beyond their own reach. Cars coming into Minne- apolis over one of these roads with potatoes for the south or southwest, cannot go out in the car it came i, as the northern lings want their cars unloaded and taken back into that country for grain.” i The southern lines named have not furnished sufficient cars in Min- neapolis or at the Minnesota Trans- fer to take what produce morthern lines bring in, and a congestioh is rapidly developing. Coal intended for the country is also being held in this city in this way. Staples said that Minnesota needs froom 2500 to 3000 more cars than are available for loading, and that unless the con- ditions change, the worst shortage in the history of the state will de- velap. With 1,102 cars of wheat received today in Minneapolis, the chamber of commerce not only showed the rum nearly twice as great as that'of a year ago, but by a coincidence the number of cars in, made exactly the same figures as the number of manufacturing establishments in Minneapolis which the civic and commercial association is making widely known in furtherance of Min- neapolis week. The total grain receipts today were 1,551 cars for today and 993 a year ago today. The comparisons are as follows: Cars 1912 1911 Wheat .1102 661 Corn 16 36 Oats e 1 27 Barley 161 Rye 46 28 Flax 87 80 Totals . ....coovecee 1,551 993 Increase 558 cars. WATCH SLEEPING GIRL From 3 o'clock yesterday after- noon until 7 o'clock last night, the sidewalk in front of the Murphy furniture store was packed with peo- ple trying to get a glance at the sleeping lady. .For hours she was absolutely quiet moving only her lips when Santanelli asked her what time it was. Many thought that she was a wax doll substituted for the real girl but those who went to the theatre found out that it was a real live girl. The girl will go to sleep in the window again this afternoon and will not be awakened until after the first reel - of picture tonight.
