ant A Vv. L. Bean Will Retire. The many nies Rapids friends of V. L. Bean, formerly ‘train dispatcher for the Great Northern at Grand Rapids, now assigpant superintendent for the Northern Pacific with heaa- quarters at Duluth, Will read the following news repcrt from the Du- luth Herald with deep regret! ‘*Ven- neman L. Bean, assistant division superintendent of the Northern Paci- fic railroad, and superintendent of the Duluth Union Depot & Transfer Co., is seriously ill, and it is believed that he will be unable to return to his regular work for several months at least. There is a strong possibility that, owing to the condition of his health, he will never be able to stand tbe climate at the Head of the Lakes again, and that for this reason he will no longer have any connection with the railroad offices at Duluth. Ia any event, Some man will be appoint- ed to take his place as superintendent of the Union Depot & Transfer Co., and assistant superintendent of the Northtrn Pacific for a few months. Such appointment will probably be made permanent. Physicians have advised a change of climate for the official. He is afflicted with consumption, and his condition has been growiug more serious right along, until it came to a point where Mr. Bean had te leave the city. He started for St. Paul last night in com- pany with E.C. Blanchard, division superintendentof the Northern Pacific it the latter’s private car, to consult a specialist. Just what the result of this consultation was, isn’t known, but there is small likelihood taat it will be of such nature as to allow Mr. Bean to return to Duluth. Mr. Bean has made a splendid re- cord in the position which he is coms pelled to desert, and the news of his departure is being received with ex- pressious of genuine regret by the men with whom he has had business dealings. Oil in Northern Minnesota. A news dispatenie from Minneapolis under date of July 31, relates that De Forest Pomeroy of Washington, D. C., a representative of a large Eastern tirm, was in Minneapolis on his way to the f§northern part of the state, near Hinckley, where it is thought that there is a large quantity of oil which they expect to drill for. Mr. Pomeroy said: “I have every reason to believe that our ch will result successfully. We have bad experts looking over the field for some time and the reports which they have submitted show that oil exists in the region. \ “Our intention is to begin Swork immediately and investigate the con- ditions. I intend to leave at once. A crew of men from the east will follow shortly. As soon us our ma- chinery, is installed, we sball . be equipped to bore to a great depth and if there is anything there in the way of vil we shall surely flnd it.” August on an Average. August, on the ne s of the average for the month during thirty-five years, promises weil, although the weather bureau warms everybody not to take its table of averages as a fore- cast. The nominal temperature for the month is 68. The warmest-August on record was that of 1898 which had an average temperature of 70; and the the coldest was in 1803 when the average temperature was 60. The highest temperature registered on avy August day was 95 on the twenty= fifth, 1888; and the coldest was .40 on the thirty-first, 1886. In the matter of rainfall the gene eral average fur the month is 3.44 juches aud ‘the average number of days on which at least a fraction of an inch falls is thirteen, The rain- iest August was that of 1889 when 7.87 inches fell, and the least precipi- tation was in 1888 when only .42 inch fell. ‘he greatest amount of preci- pitation in any twenty-four consecu- tive hours was on the second and third, 1888, when 2,82 inches fell. Phe average number of clear days duriug the month is ten; of partly cloudy, thirteen; and cloudy, eight. ‘The prevailing winds are from the cortheast and the average hourly ve- 57.4 miles, The bighest wind 1¢ month was of the nineteenth, i904, blowing fifty-one miles per hour {row the northwest. “Cured of Enterprise.” Henry H. Rogers, the Standard Oil magnate, maddened by the attacks upon him, said: “If I ever was dis- eased with enterprise, I am now cured.” Commenting upan this remark, the Wail Street Journal.says: “Well, there are others who will catch the disease for bappily it is evidemic in the United States. If Mr, Rogess refuses, to play because he ean pol ctate the rules of the game, words, if Mr. Rogers refuses © orvace it business enterprise be- rise yuvlic opinion has forced the aGopoco of pew rules for the pur- = pose.of establishing fair play, then the loss is his; not the country’s. It is true that Mr. Rogers and men who may think as he does by withdrawing from enterprise would be able to in- flict much injury to business, but the damage they might do. is after all but temporary, tor the country is greater than they, and will soon out- strip them, while other men are will- ing to play according to the new rules take their places.” \ What bas come over the spirit of Wall Street Journal's dreams? It talks just like a Chicago platform democrat. Mr. Perkins’ threat to bring trouble upoa the world by. go- ‘ing out of business was a threat coms non tq the campaign of 1896. Then we were told that if the tariff barons and the money kings were not per- mitted to dictate they would quit do- ing businessgfor us. And every republican paper from the . Wall Street Journal down to the New York Sun said that the people must heed the threat. The Wall Street Journal has, in- deed, made progress if it has learned that the country is greater than Rogers or any other individual. The democratic speeches of 1896 were full of sentiments such as are expressed by the Journal in the editorial refer- red to. For inst»nce, in addressing a gathering of business men at Chicago during the closing days of the 1896 campaign. Mr. Byran said: ‘‘I have sald that those who so often assume to be the only business men somes times make a great mistake in sup- posing that t-ae prosperity of a nation rests upon f.em. Iam going to talk today to business men, and I want to say to you that in pleading the cause of the farmer and the laborer I am trying to lay asubstantial founda- tion upon which the business of this country can be done. If you engage in merchandise and in the exchange of wealth, and suppose that the pros- perity of the producer depends upon you, you deceive yourselves. Wealth must be created before it can be dis- tributed. Those who create wealth could live although you should goout of business, ‘but you can not live if the producers of wealth go out of business. I believe that that policy is best for this country which brings prosperity first to those who toil: giye them first the inspiration tu work acd then protect them in the enjoy- ment of their rightful share of the proceeds of their toil, and their pros- perity will find its way up to the other classes of society which rests upon them. I challenge you to tind in the pages of recorded history a single instance where prosperity came from the upper crust of society; it always comes from the masses—the large magses of particularly transpar-: | — foundation of society.’—Bryaws Com- nionder. A Compliment te to Mr. Bryan. TuHat wAs a high compliment paid to Mr. Bryan by the Interparliament- ary Union when it accepted his amendment to the model internation- al arbitration treaty. The treaty proposed by the American members provided for arbitration of all dis putes and controversies that involve merely financial and trade questions or matters not affecting the national honor. ‘ i, There are many questions on which a nation could hardly admit arbitra- tion to be a possibility, as they might involve what.it would know to mean not only its national honor, but even iés national existedce. These ques- tions are such as occussioned the Russo-Japanese war, and they may not always appear On the surface. But Mr. Bryan’s amendment in- cluded even these making the pact cover all matters of dispute, so that they should be submitted to an inter- national commission of inquirv or mediation. He won its consideration by the sheer force of his magnetic personality, for nogovernment acting officially would yield so much, por would any people sanctiun such a con- session. When it comes to a question of the honor of his household, the integriiy of.his home, the resenting of a deli- berate insult, or the maintaining of his manhood, a self-respecting man must fight, The day may come when iustead he will go to the courts, but that day is not yet here for men or nations, But the compliment to Mr. Bryan in the acticn trken was none the less marked, though an empty one, es- pecially as be was not a member of the union or even eligible tememb:r- ship.—Duluth News Tribune.

SPEECH IS ihatas 4 Many ‘Different Languages and Strike ing Dialects in Great Britain, “It has been observed that the lan. Zuage “ spoken in the United States ig remarkably uniform. True, there are many dialects, but Great Britain, less in area than any of half a dozen states, contains such very different languages as English, Welsh and the Gaelic: of the Scottish highlands, to say nothing of the provincial dialects of Cornwall and Yorkshire and the unique speech of the London cockney, while in this country, with its vast expanse of territory, its settlement by Spanish, French, Dutch and Swedish colonists and its millions of immi- grants drawn from nearly every coun- try, large and small, all over the world, there is far greater uniformity of speech than in any other land of equal area and population. The causes can be readily seen. The public schyvols have made this a nation of readers and *he press has supplied books and papers without limit. Press associations have done their parz toward giving a uniform and fairly good tone to the news- paper language of the day. The tele- graph, the telephone and cheap post- age have brought distant parts of the country into quick and easy commu- nication and so have aided in teach- ing a common language. The railroad has penetrated every corner of the land and made a nation of travelers. Countless human shut- tles thus are thrown daily across the land in every direction, carrying with them the threads of thought and speech and doing their part to make one pattern of the whole. WHERE DEEPEST LOVE ABIDES. God’s Goodness Chiefly Felt by Those in Tribulation. Where is it that God, in His search- ing of the hearts of His children, hears the tones of the deepest love, and sees on the uplifted face the light of the most heartfelt gratitude? Not where His gifts are most profuse, but where they seem most meager; not where the suppliant’s worship glides forth from the cushion of luxury through lips saturated with plenty and rounded by health; not within the halls of successful ambition, or even the dwellings of unbroken domestic peace; but where the outcast, flying from persecution, kneels in the eyen- ing on the rock whereon he sleeps; by the fresh grave, where, as the earth is opened, heaven in answer opens too; by the pillow of the wast- ed sufferer, where the sunken eye, denied sleep, converses with a silent star, and the hollow voice enumerates in low prayer the scanty list of com- forts and the shortened tale of hopes. —Martineau. Brazilian Pebbles. Brazilian pebble is a name given to’ ent quartz er rock crystal, which is most abundantly found in Brazil, al- though material quite as good occurs somewhat sparingly in Switzerland and Madagascar. As regards trans- parency and hardness the Brazilian pebble was far superior to the best product of the old glass melters, but the modern glass is quite as good as the crystal. In fact the mineral is now little used, and the name persists mainly as a trade epithet intended to express superior quality. Good glass for lenticular purposes is now made in the United States; but the best, such as would be employed in astro- nomical and microscopic work, still comes from France and Germany. First Known Use of Paper. There is no country which has not had its learned and elaborate inquir- ers as to the means through which Europe became acquainted some time about the eleventh century with the article of paper. Casiri, however, while employed in translating Arabic writers, has discovered the real place from which paper came. It has been known in China, where its constituent part is silk, fromi time immemorial. In the thirtieth year of the Hegira (in the middle of the seventh century) a manufactory of similar paper was established at Samarcand, and in 706, fifty-eight years afterward, one You- zef Amru of Mecca discovered the art of making it with cotton, an article more commonly used in Arabia than silk. Other Uses for Teeth. The teeth, says the Medical Fort- + nightly, are said to have a higher of- fice than that commonly assigned to them—namely, that of merely crush- ing or masticating the food. They are to be regarded as endowed with a tactile sense, a discriminating, fac- ulty ‘corresponding to that possessed by the muscles and nerves of the eye and ear. They have, an extreme delicacy of discerhment, both as to whether the objects comminuted be suitable as food or such as will irritate the deli- eate lining of the digestive passages. They speedily detect the smallest particle of cinder that has found its way into a freshly-baked biscuit: Sized Up by “Tom” Pool. Throughout the village of Annis- quam, Mass., no greater joker can be found than Thomas S. Pool, an’ old- time fisherman and a veteran of the civil war. On being told of the in- tended entrance into the fishing in- dustry_of a firm composed of two young fellows, neither of whom had much money to start with, “Tom” re- marked: “I’ve heern tell of people standin’ on nothin’ an’ pickin’ holes ‘1332 Henmepia Ave. FRB!
