North N. Frich. Beverly, Mass., Aug. 16.—In a letter addressed yesterday to Secretary Na- Dakota—First district, Carl gel, of the department of comnferce and labor, President Taft served no- tice that any man engaged in the tak- ing of the thirteenth census of the ed States who engages in politics tn any way will immediately be dis- i from the service. Outside of ting their votes the president be- t census supervisors and en- atc should keep clear of any- g that savyors of politics, national, or local. labor and r of commerce and the director of the census embody in the regulations covering the taking of the census the rule so forcibly laid down in his letter. Mr. Taft says that in appointing census supervisors it has been found necessary to select men recommened- ed by senators and congressmen in their districts. He says he realizes that this method of selection might easily be perverted to political pur- poses and it is to take the census work out of politics, so far as the actual work is concerned that he has s0 explicitly expressed his desire as to the regulations. President Taft has told the repre- gentatives and senators who have urged various men for census places that he would insist that no active partisan should be named, and that mo attempt should be made to build up a political machine in any state or district through the distribution of the census patronage. The presi- dent’s letter in full follows: One hundred and thirty-four addi- tional supervisors of the census were appointed. President Taft was busy until late Saturday night signing the commissions of the successful candi- fates. * Altogether 184 of the 330 sup- ervisors had been agreed upon. but some are being held up temporarily agreed on,, but some are being held on account of protests.

Hibbing, Minn., Aug. 17.—Joseph Josephson shot his wife twice in the face, inflicting dangerous and possibly fatal wounds and then turned the weapon on himself with fatal effect.

Duluth.—A deer wandered pretty close to the village of Nashwauk and, becoming frightened at the noise of a drill, started to run and plunged headlong into the open pit of the Crosby mine, about fifty feet.

FOR MILL CITY COMMERCIAL CLUB SHOWS CREASE OF 585 CARS IN MONTH. 2,612 CARS OF WHEAT Record Is Reliable Barometer of In- dustrial Growth.—Receipts Fall a Trifie, but Loss is in- significant. Minneapolis —The Commercial Club has sent out reports for the month of July showing a great gain for Minne- apolis in the volume of shipments over the same month in 1908. During last month 22,093 cars of merchandise were sent from this city, including all lines, as compared to 21,058 cars last year, a gain of 585 cars. This is significant in showing the greater consumption of merchandise, and consequently increased produc- tion. Although the receipts this year show a falling off as compared with a year ago, being 17,983 cars as against 18,695 in July, 1908, this is not impor- tant, inasmuch as the volume of out- coming business is recognized as the most significant. The following table shows the re- ceipts and shipments on various com- modities: Rec'd. Shipped.

Duluth.—J. G. Ostby, nent Duluth grocer, Killed by his 18-year-old son at his home. The son was immediate- ly placed under arrest and declined to make any statement as to the causes leading up to the tragedy. At the Ostby home, however, it was learned that Mr. and Mrs. Ostby had indulged in a rather heated argument over the funeral bill of one of their chikiren, who died about a month ago. Ostby asserting that it should not bave been $200. The son entered into the conversa- tion and took issue with his parent. The argument became more heated, whereupon the son rushed to a bed- room, procured a revolver and fired at his father, the bullet taking effect in the brain and the victim expiring on the spot. The boy has the sympathy of a mul- titude of Duluth people and his mother says that she will spend every dollar of the estate to free him ff possible. Emotional insanity will, it is ex- pected, be the defense. The boy, who ts only 18, is said to have taken sides with his mother in the struggles which she had to get along with a very parsimonious hus- band. It is said that Mr. Ostby took a trip. around the world a few years ago and left insufficient funds for his wife to get along with and that she had to work to earn the necessary money. a@ = promi- was shot and FIRE DESTROYS LUMBER PLANT.
