The erald-B view! PITH OF THE NEWS} 2cw by E. Kiley. GRAND RAPIDS - MINNESOTA. The true touchstone of desert—suc: cess, An acre of performance is worth the whole land of promise. An Alabama farmer put croton oil in his melon patch and broke up a camp meeting. Covetousness, like a candle ill-made, smothers the splendor of a happy for- tune in its own grease. A man that studieth revenge keepeth his own wounds green, which other- wise would heal and do well. It is often easier to justify one’s self to others than to respond to the secret doubts that arise in one’s own bosom. Theodore Roosevelt will soon be mustered out of the rough riding serv- ice into the rough writing department. There'll be fun then. “The American people still have lots of ginger in them,” observes an en- thusiastie contemporary, Then why all this talk about annexing Jamaica. Those people in Oklahoma who turned out and lynched a judge of the court must be very fastidious concera- ing the quality of justice in that terri- tory. We should manage our fortune as we do our health, enjoy it when good, be patient when it is bad, and never ap- ply violent remedies except in cases of extreme necessity. Lillian Russell is playing to crowded houses in Berlin and the prospects are good for a German husband, A Ger- man delegate in the next international convention of Lillian’s ex-husbands would give variety to the proceedings. A reaction against political bossism is setting in. The system which be- gan in the crowded wards of the big cities has grown and fructified in every stratum of American politics. The people are disgusted with bossism. They are making ready to pull it out by the roots and cauterize the wound. They will begin in the ward precinct ‘and finish in the white house. It is reported everywhere that Cu- ban flags are a drug on the market, and dealers who have loaded up with them count them a dead loss. This is in itself a matter of small moment, for there is no special reason why Ameri- cans should buy Cuban flags, but it is not time to forget Cuba yet, as most people seem in danger of doing. The most serious part of the problem which we so light-heartedly took up is yet to come. Sir Hugh Nelson, premier of Queens- land; Sir George H, Reid, premier of New South Wales, and Sir George H. Turner, premier of Victoria, recently met in conference and discussed plans for a Pacific cable. They decided to make the definite offer that if Great Britain and Canada collectively would guarantee five-ninths of the cost of laying the new cable they would rec- ommend their respective legislatures to contribute one-ninth each, asking New Zealand to contribute the re- maining one-ninth. While the really brave and true women of the country have been work- ing and suffering for the boys in blue, cheering them through every ill that befell and trying to make their life and their burdens as easy as possible, other ladies, of a more hysterical and sel- fish turn of mind, have done their best to make the soldiers aware of every ill the camp life bore for them, and have even tried to stir up mutiny and desertion. It is a very good thing that ladies of this temperament are decid- edly outnumbered by the good sensible women, who not only know how to meet suffering bravely themselves, but can teach and help others to bear it ‘with the same fortitude. “I’m a bolder man than you,sir,” said an English laborer to his master, not Jong ago. “I durst spend my last far- den, and you dursen’t.” The laborer never looked forward at all. On the contrary, thrifiiness is often taught the classes by the masses. A little Ger- gan girl who sells violets in the streets of a western city was question- ‘ed the other day by her teacher, who learned that she sold about twenty five-cent bunches each school day,with more on Saturdays and holidays, and that she raised the violets herself. “You must be a great help to your father,” was the comment. “Oh,” was the quick reply, “I do not need to do it. Father earns enough for us all, ‘but I am doing this to go to college. I have three hundred dollars in the bank already.” The teacher, a Harvard graduate, realizing that the child could draw a larger check than himself,went away thoughtful. The close intermingling of ways of peace and ways of war 1s seen in China, where two rival alien powers have been disputing, each over the right of the other to construct railroads and develop the resources of the coun- try. Their opposition is based on the knowledge that such extension of the appliances of civilization is a means of political contro] and a source of advan- tage in war. Cultivate peace for the sake of preparation for war, and go to war for the sake of the blessings of peace—that is the paradoxical rule of modern statesmanship. EVENTS OF THE PAST WEEK IN A CONDENSED FORM. A General Resume of the Most Im- portant News of the Week From All Parts of the Globe, Boiled Down and Arranged in Con- venient Form for Rapid Perusal By Busy People. Washington Talk.

Several Towns Reported Wholly or Partially Burned — Hundreds of Farmers Homeless—Cumberland’s Narrow Escape From Destruction —Sudden Cloudburst Checks the Flames — Panic-Stricken People Had Fled the City—Glenwood Has of Newfoundland.

The destruction of telegraph wires makes the reports very incomplete, but it is feared that the villages of Clayton, Almena and Paskin have have been wholly or _ partially de- stroyed, that Cumberland has suffered heavy loss and that Glenwood, Bar- ron, Prentice, Phillips and Turtle Lake have been theratened and only saved by the heroic efforts of the citizens. Reports of loss of life have been re- ceived, but have not been verified. Associated Press reports and specials received by the Pioneer Press from va- rious points indicate that the fires have been checked in places by provi- dential rains and the subsidence of winds. Estimates place the total losses at from $2,000,000 to $3,000,000. Camberland’s Awful Scourge. Cumberland, Wis., Oct. 2.—A hurri- cane of fire swept through Barron county Thursday. For the past week fires have been burning to the south and west of Cumberland and village of Almena, and Thursday afternoon about 1 o’clock a violent wind set in from the southwest. The smouldering fires were fanned into raging: flames, bearing directly on Cumberland, and in a hour the city was completely sltrouded in smoke. Large burning cinders were driven over the city from the south and gave timely warning to the inhabitants, dverybody was called out to make a fight against the oncoming fiames. In two hours from the commencement of the gale the whole timbered section to the south and west was a mass of flames. ‘Burning embers were falling like rain and igniting the marshes and dry trees in close vicinity to the town. Every one realized the nature of the coming fight, the houses were vacated and the families gathered around them ready to extiguish the falling cinders. With the roar of the coming flames in their ears and the smoke making the day darker and’ darker, it is no wonder that a panic seized the women and children. They rushed about wringing their hands, running into one another, utterly bewildered. At 4:30 o’clock it looked as though the whole city would be wiped out. At the depot the railroad officials had provided two special freight trains, and a 5 o’clock, when the fires were Igniting Residence After Residence, the women, children and old men, with a common impulse, groped their way to the station and boarded the cars. t 5:30 the hurricane of flame burst upon the city. No fire protection in the way of engines, pressure or hose, cound have made the results any dit- ferent. The train pulled out with its sorrowful passengers and carried them to Shell Lake. Those left be- hind now realized that all hope of es- cape by train was shut off, and the panic become intensified. Some took a few valuables from their homes and sought the lake shore west of the city. Here it was that those remaining saw safety. About 5:30 o’clock the lumber yards of the Beaver Dam Lumber company caught and in less time than it takes to write it fifty acres of lumber piles, together with the saw mill, shingle mill and planing mill were all ablaze. Most of the people were now on the lake shore, wating for the end. On the east side of the city, east of the railrood track, dwelling after dwelling was being ignited. A few desperate residence owners remained at their Accidental Happenings. The loss by the burning of the Brad- ley Fertilizer company’s works at Weymouth, Mass., was about $500,- 000; insurance, $245,000. The factory buildings of the Bradley fertilizer works in North Weymouth, Mass., were burned, causing a_ loss of about $200,000 on the buildings and stock, covered by insurance. The British ship Mitradale of Liver- pool, 1,185 tons, Capt. Wettem, which sailed from Newcastle, N. S. W., on April 30, for Callao, has been posted at Lloyds as missing. The Vendome hotel, the most fash- ionable hostelry in San Jose, Cal., was damaged by fire last night to the ex- tent of $40,000. The remains of a fire- man, Miles McDermott, were removed from the ruins. A cable from Berlin says: A railway collision between a goods and a passen- ger train occurred at Crosson, on the Oder. Four persons were killed and many severely injured. The accident was due to a mistake of a pointsman. The Peninsular Paper Company’s North mill at Ypsilanti, Mich, burned. The main building was completely gut-, ted, only the east wing and _ boiler house being saved. It is impossible to approximate the loss, but it will ex- ceed $80,000. Otherwise. Maj. McClure, chief paymaster at Manila, says the United States should by all means retain the hilippines. * Lieut. Southerland, commander of the Eagle, has been selected to take charge of the naval militia. Gov. Walcott of Massachusetts is now under consideration as ambassa- dor to Great Britain. Republicans in the State of Washing- ton declared for the existing gold standard.

E. M. Wilcox of Paulding county was nominated for co! ss by the Re- publicans of the Fifth Ohio district. Samuel Meekison was nominated by the Democrats of the same district. Was Apparently Doomed. Never before was a shower of rain more providential. The fire had sveta- ingly been followed by an electric cloudburst. The rain fell in torreets, flooded the streets, put out the @ying cinders, and, best of all, gave « live hope to the panic-stricken people. The rain alone made it possible ta save the west side. Nothing could sx > the lumber yards, mills or houses already burning; the rain never touched those fires, the heat was too intense. At 10 o'clock the people again took courage and moved back to the city. They fought bard and saved the West part of the town. Up toa late hour no fatalities were reported, although one furmer named Peter Ecklund, living south of the city, was caught in the fire and was so badly burned that his recovery is doubtful. ‘The total loss in the city will aggre- gate about $200,000. From the farm- ing section southeast of the city comes the report that forty-five farmers were rendered homeless, losing everything they possessed and many of them nar- rowly escaping with their lives. EE aN , Fires Are Quenched. Milwaukee, Oct. 2.—Reports received at the railroad offices in this city are that the forest ‘fires in the northern part of the state were quenched by a heavy fall of rain. Only one death, as far as known, has resulted, that of Mrs. Jocob Correson at Drywood. The pecuniary loss is not expected to reach over $1,000,000. Glenw Pirate AN spell of dry weather, in whit grass, weeds and underbursh in the country surrounding this city pecaae as dry as tinder, fires ap- peared in the surrounding country ‘vhursday forenoon, while simultane- ously the wind rose and grew to the proportions of a hurricane until at 1 Pp. m. great columns of smoke, dust and stifling hot winds began to roll over the hills into the residence por- tion of the town. The fire company was brought out to fight the approach- ing fires, and by 6 p. m. had the flames under control. A gentle rain com- menced at this time, putting the city out of further danger. In the surrounding country con- siderable damage was done to logs, timber and farm property. No lives were lost in this vicinity. This city was undoubtedly saved by its excel- lent water system and fire company. ‘There is no further donger. All Danger Past. Fifield, Wis., Oct. 2.—Forest fires have been raging in the vicinity of this place, sweeping everything in their way, for the past few days. The road from Pike Lake resort to Fifield is impassable on account of fallen tim- ber, and the guests are obliged to re- main there until the road is cleared away. Kain checked the fires, so there is no danger now. SEA OF FLAMES. Fires in Colorado Nearly Three Hun- dred Miles in Circumference. Denver, Oct. 2—The weather men can offer no hope for those on the western slope, whose homes and crops are threatened by the forest fires. There are no indications whatever of rain, and this seems to be the only ele- ment able to stay the flames’ fury. Throughout Eagle county high winds have prevailed, giving a fresh impe- tus to the forest fires that are devasta- ting the timber domain, and in conse- quence new territory is being de- youred. Battlement government reser- vation, bounded by Grand river on the north, Roaring Fork on the east and the Gunnison on the west, is a mass of flames. This reserve runs through the counties of Gareld, Delta and Mesa. The big White river govern- ment reservation in Garfield coun- ty, and extending through Routt and Rio Blanco, is also on fire. Reliable reports show that the fires are now nearly 300 miles in cir- cumference, with Glenwood for a center, and practically every mountain range with timber is on fire. LEE WILL GO TO CUBA, No Doubt in Official Circles That He Is on the Schedule. Washington, Oct. 2.—Maj. Gen. Fitzhugh Lee was at the war depart part. If there is not pressure for his immediate return to Jacksonville, he intends, after going to New York for a short visit, to spend a few days in the Virginia mountains upon the recommendation of his physician, Maj. Gen. Lee has been suffering somewhat from malaria. There seems to be no doubt in official circles that Gen. Leet is scheduled to go to Cuba. Some question has arisen, however, as to the position in Cuba that he will occupy. Quite a number of public men, and it is probable that Gen. Lee himslef, would. prefer that his com- mand go, to Havana. There is some sentiment in the matter, and some per- sons have expressed the hope that as Blanco marches out Gen. Lee might march into the city. A number of men in official life have already interested themselves in this subject, and will urge the president to issue his orders for the occupation of Cuba with this end in view. GRAY IS FOUND. Duluth Man Located in Cleveland, But Very Sick. Cleveland Ohio, Oct. 2.— Henry Gray, superintendent of the Duluth rolling mills, who mysteriously disap- peared from the Weddell house, Tues- day night, has been found. He was located by the police. Mr. Gray is a sick man, and a nurse and physician are in constant attendance. Mr. Gray was supposed to have had considera- ble money in his possession when he disappeared, and it was thought for a time that he had met with foul play. SWORN IN. Col. Hay Takes the Oath of Office as Secretary of State, Washington, Oct. 2—Col. John Hay was sworn into office as secretary of state at 11 o'clock yesterday morning. ‘The ceremony took place in the presi- dent’s room at the White House, and the oath was administered by Justice Harlan, of the supreme court. Mr. Hay immediately joined his colleagues in the regular Friday cabinet meéting. Exiled King May Return, Washington, Oct. 2.—The state de- partment gives confirmation to the re- port that it has given its assent, through the American consul at Apia, Samoa, to the return to Samoa, after an exile of ten years, of the former king, Mataafa. It is assumed that this chief is to be made king, to suc- ceed the late King Malietoa, who died about a month ago. Li Hung Chang Scores Again. Peking, Oct. 2.—An imperial decree was published dismissing Chang Yin Houah, the opponent in the Chinese foreign office of Li Hung Chang and former minister of China at Washing- ton, and special envoy of China at Queen Victoria’s jubilee. He is dis- missed from all his offices and is ban- ished to Ili, a district of Chinese Turkestan. .

Boyd Mirn., Oct. 2.— The average yield of wheat will be*less than form- erly estimated, and it is expected it will not be over twelve bushels to the acre. q ‘ments senate 3S ctor an| MUST HAVE MORE TROOPS BATTLE WITH THE INDIANS NOW, SEEMS CERTAIN, Indians Have Decided to Resist the Attempts of the Marshals to Ar rest Two of Their Number—Licut. 9 Humphrey Convinced That His @ ) Army of Bwenty Men Is Insuffl- cient for the Task Before Them } Has Called for One Hundred More Men and a Gattling Gun—Officers Are Determined to Carry the Mat- ter Through. Walker, Minn., Oct. 4.—It was learned late last night that the Bear island Indians have decided to resist the attempts of the United States mar- shals to arrest the two men they are after. Last night the Indians on the island indulged in a dance, and it is said that 125 of them are ready to re~ sist the authority of the marshals and the soldiers, Walker, Minn., Oct. 4.—There seems now to be little question that within few davs United States troops will be on’ Bear island. The solution of the Indian troubles at Walker now de- pends wholly on the Indians them- selves. A conference between the po- lice and the officers has been held and an ultimatum issued. A council was: called for noon Monday, and at that time the decision of the matter will be made. If the Indians comply with the demands of the officers there will be peace; if not, war will surely follow. Deputy Marshal Sheehan, Agent Sutherland and Inspector Tinker braved the heavy storm and went to the town of Leech, the Indian village across the lake from Walker. There a conference was held between the of- cers and Dr. Hart, the subagent, and the Indian police and a number of the prominent ageney Indians. As a re sult of this conference the call for the council was issued. There is little hope that the Indians will comply with the demands of the officers. It is im- possible to tell now what the result will be, but the general opinion seems to be that the Indians will fail to re- spond to the call. The officers are de- termined to carry the matter through and preserve their authority, and will therefore request the assistance of the troops and go to the island in case their demands are not complied with. Lieut. Humphrey is ready to go into the island with the men he now has, but Marshal O'Connor will not ask this force to face almost certain death. Lieut. Humphrey received a telegram from Gen. Bacon, asking if the force sent to Walker was sufficient. On the advice of the officers Lieut. Humphrey wired a request for an additional 100 men and a Gatling gun. Whether the reinforcements will be sent at once or only in case there is trouble after the council Monday is not known: here. Bear island is so heavily wooded that it is thought that a landing will be impossible without a Gatling gun. Marshal O’Connor accompanied the agent and the inspector to the agency and held a conference with Agent Hart and the Indian police. It was re- ported at the agency that the runners returned from Bear island with the re- port that the Indians there held a council last evening and that 125 of them agreed to stand together, but whether this agreement was to submit to the officers or resist them could not. be definintely learned. It is almost certain, however, that they will resist. TROUBLE IS FEARED. Washington Authorities Consider the Situation Serious. Washington, Oct. 4.—The interior de- partment authorities fear the situation mn the White Earth Indian reservation in Minnesota may be serious, notwith- standing official reports to them state that no trouble is apprehended. They base this on press dispatches, for Act- ing Secretary of the Interior Ryan has received a dispatch from Indian Agent Sutherland, in charge of the Indians there, announcing that everything there is quiet and that there is no ap- prehension of trouble either on Bear istand or Leech Lake. A dispatch of similar tenor has also been sent by Indian Inspector Tinker, located at that point, and the official report to the war department also expresses the opinion that no danger is to be appre- hended. The department will watch matters closely to prevent trouble. In Memory of Revelutionists. Cork, Oct. 4—An orderly demonstra- tion took place here upon the occasion of the laying of the foundation stone by the mayor of the city of a monu- ment in memory of the Irish revolu- tionists of 1790, 1803, 1848 and 1867. Several Irish members of the house of commons were present. A resolution was adopted congratulating Irish- Americans upon their patriotic efforts to prevent the forming of an Anglo- American alliance. Teddy's Taxes. New York, Oct. 4.—Justice Cohen, in the supreme court, signed an order di- recting the commissioner of assess- and taxes to show cause on Monday next why the proceedings brought by Theodore Roosevelt to have his personal property exempt from taxation by this city should not be discontinued. Peace Jubilee. Washington, Oct. 4—Hight thousand . people attended the peace jubilee at Convention ‘+hall in this city. Speeche: were made by Rev. H. H. Wharton of Maryland, Rev. Father Stafford of Washington, ex-Senator Pat Walsh of Georgia. Horses Destroyed. Helena, Mont., Oct. 4.—A big stable near Tolston, belonging to Huntley & Clark, Helena, burned.
