DEER AND MOOSE _ ARE COMING IN. Two Monster Moose Shipped to Southern Part of State—Deer Come in Daily. Hunters report deer and moase more plentiful this year than for the past five years amd the trucks at the depot are fied each day with mute testimonials of the hunter's skill. Two moose were brought in from the vicinity of Framk Voigt’s camp on Wabana lake Saturday which attnact- ed considerable attention on account- of their size. One weighed 1,000 pounds, while the other tipped the beams at nearly 1,100 pounds. The country both to the north and south of Grand Rapids is filled with bunting parties and very few come back empty banded.

COURTS THE FINAL INTERPRETERS Admits Doubt of Legal Right As' to Expulsion of Beer or the Right to Close Up the Breweries. Secretary Ballinger, of the Inter- ior department, has no explanation to make in addition to the statement given out a few days ago for pub- lication. ‘“‘All we are trying to do,” said Secretary Ballinger, “through the department’s instructions to In- dian Commissioner Valentine, is to enforce the law as it appears jo be, according to the old treaties with the Indians, which excludes _ liquar from the Indian country. “The Indian country in Minnesota as one will see by the map, covers probabhy, 88 per cent of the state: It is not the province of the de partment to interpret these treaties nor to expound the law. We are required to enforce the law as we find it, These treaties, or so much of them as effect the Indian country of Minnesota, are directly opposed to the imtroduction of liquor into .Indian country. The orders of the department to the Indian officials have been merely that the law should be enforced without discriminatiqn as to person, property or territory within the zones covered by these treaties. “We hear many complaints from g@eople within the Indian country but our replies are that the law speaks for itself and the courts must be the final interpreters of the mean- {ing of these various laws.” In other words, Secretary Ballinger haids that while there are many dif- ferences in the working of these old Indian treaties and those who have read: the documents, and are famil- iar with the facts, are inclined to doubt whether some of these treat'« are npt obsolete and others so vague in their terms as to make it a matter of doubt what the courts would say in regard to them. Ballinger believes that the duty of the administrative officers.is.to eu- farce the law as it is found, leaving the question of interpretation and explanation of the ‘av to the courts. The department, apparently, « aware of the question raised, whether some of the treaties have not been annulled by congressional action, al- though perhaps not specifically so but the officials prefer to go on with what they regard as their duty of eaforejag the laws and leaving it for the courts to dete;Pnine the rights of all parties concefned. It is admitted by the department that one of the most interesting questions involved under one of the treaties is whether beer is ex- clude under the terms of “other liquors” used in connection with spirits and whether an established brewery can ibe closed woder the treaty provisions d@ainst the in- troduction of “liquor into th. Indi- an counitry.” Some doubt is expressed h- the department as to whether the law.can be enforced in the southern — por- tion, of Minnesota, in which the city of Minneapolis is situat;? fe- the reason that the Act of February, 1863, passed subsequently to a war- fare which the See-See-Toan and thc Wah-Pay-Toan bands of the Sioux conducted against the whites, was declared to be abrogated and an- ‘€ulled; so far as they purported to impose amy future obligations on the United States. | aetna Seep SS ee 0 SAE ree del a Raga EE DE I LODE SRT OE ST SS CEE RT Ee LE PR EROS * REE oe SPENSER REIT EON URSA on ES Tae PR SNE AOR ET CRIES EE = ARs Peastcoees SEA eed ESN aN TUBERCULOSIS Professor Carel Discovers Solu- tion Which Will Cure Cancer As Well. SPENT SIX YEARS EXPERIMENTING Started Out to Find Chemical Which Would Combat Cancer and Discovered it Would Cure Other Diseases. To produce, if possible, a chemical antagonistic to cancer, the disease that caused the death of his mother, was one of the great impelling forces driving Professor Hurbert C. Carel to make the exhaustive and extend- ed imvestigation which recently result ed iin the discovery of a solution tha will destroy the germs. not only of cancer, but of tuberculosis, typhoid ‘and pneumonia as well. For six years Profe-s’~ “are toil- ed night and day im the laboratories of the University of Minnesota near St. Paul, where he was professor of chemestry. More than once he was on the verge of giving up the strug- gle against the baffling germs, mil- lions of which he used dn his tes Then, when he was tired and weary and almost discouraged there wou come to his mind thoughts of ti suffering and misery to which canr cer had subjected his mother and he would return to his retorts and cultures, more determined than ever to conquer in the desperate battle. Seeking as he a‘* combat the germs. of cancer alone, Professor Carel was amazed, when at last success crowned his efforts to tind that he had discovered product! four times as strong 2 carbolic acid, and still not a poiso: that meant death to the germs of tbercujosis, typhoid fever and pneumonia, diseases that cause far more deaths than cancer. Wishing to make sure that there was mo mistake, Professor Carel, having satisfied himself after bun- dreds of tests af the correstnass of his analysis, called in consultation several eminent bacterfologists who verified his claims and collaborated With fim in the production of the chemical which has been aamed Benetol and which promises to re- diseapes. Professor Carel says: “Had I known im the beginning the extensive nature of the work in- volved, it is doubtful if I would have takem over the attempt. For three years I worked, during which no iess than 26 attempts were carried through bacteriological tests, and each time, while something was gained, failure was the main result Working by myself nearly the whole time has elapsed before I had made progress enough to be sure of the; right road. “Then I went to work with renew- ed energy in the laboratory of the University of Minnesota, where I had the chair of medical chemistry toxicology, assisted by Prof, Frost of the ‘University of Wisconsin, Dr. W. L. Beebe, state Bacteriologist to the Minnesota State Sanitary Board and Drs. Corbett and Wood- worth of the Minneapolis Bacteriolo- gical laboratory, who. tested out my latest attempt. I finally received re- ponts which satisfied me that I had solved’ the problem. “Benetol, which I named the mew chemical, was found by the most careful tests, to kill the germs of typhoid fever in a 1-10,000 solu- tion. More stubborn germs yielded good reports, amd the summary of he test was, that no germs could withstand the action of the chemical but were vanquished in a manner showed Benetol to be four times as strong as carbolic afid. I think I was made the most happy, after a test against the deadly _ bi- chiqride of mercury, for I had a chemical fifty times as strong in usuable strength, that is to say, be- netiol full strength is fifty times as strong as the solution that can be safely handled of the.mercuric chlo- ride. “But this was only a fraction of the success achieved, I had secured a chemical working in a new way against bacteria, I waited with anxiety, for the reports of others, regarding it texitety, or poisonous, effect upon vertebrates. When that report come I knew my labors were at an end on the chemical itself, be- cause abs one examiner put it, ‘your benetol, has about the same de- gree of poisonous effect upon the human system as common table salt.’ That meant, not only that the world no longer need be burdened with germicides and disinfectants that were deadly poison, but a far great- er. truth, that germs could be follow- ed in the human system, and fought there where they had been safely hidden since the world began.” PROGRAM READY FOR BIG MEETING Governor Eberhart, R.

HIS SLAYER HAS NOT BEEN FOUND Following Deer Tracks and Was Evidently Mistaken for Deer By Hunter Following the Same Trail. Guy Badger, aged twenty-seven years, of Montpelier, Vermont, cousin of O. J. Niles, was killed near the Martin Dufficy farm on Po- kegafia lake Thursday afternoon while hunting deer. Badger, who was visiting at the Niles home and had only been here about two weeks, went out Thurs- day morning in quest of big game and while at the shack on the Duffi- cy farm met Albert Racine, who was also hunting. Nothing was found ‘that afternoon, and Badger, who had come across fresh tracks, went out ih the afternoon to try and locate the deer. Racine stayed at the shack and about 3 o'clock heard several reports from a rifle and thought he heard groans. He at ence went out and attempted to lo cate them, but failed to find anyone. He searched all the afternoon and came to town the next morning and asked if Badger had returned. On being amswered in the negative, he reported what he had heard and a searching party was sent out. The party found nothing Friday, and the search was continued to Saturday noom, when the body of Badger was found laying in the snow, with arms extended, about 80 rods from the shack, with a bullet wound in the left) side Coroner Russell and County At- torney Price, accompanied by Under: taker Libby immediately went out t¢ the scene of the shooting and made an ‘imvestigation. It was found tha some distance behind there were ather tracks on the trail and at # point about 300 yards from where Badger lay the tracks broke abruptly from ‘the trail) to the lake. The con- clusion was at once reached that the unkmown party had mistaken Badger for a deer, as he was dressed in a gray coat. The body was brought to Kremer’s undertaking rooms where an examina, tion was made and it was found that the bullet was a 33-30 calibar a entered the body from the rear of the left side, the steel jacket lodging out- j side the stomach, while the bullet entered between the two ribs and the skiin, i After the evidence, the coroner’s jury, consisting of Tim Mahon, F.

Stevens, John Cochran and | Albert Brooks, reported that the deceased, Guy Badger, met his death from a bullet from a 30-30 catibar rifle in the hands of some person un- known to the jury. - The law states that “by shoot- ing another with a gun, or other | firearms, when resulting from care- | hearing | lessness or mistaking the person shot | for a deer, or other animal, the same | shall be considered manslaughter in ' the first degree.’ The identity of | the slayer ts unknown. | | Struck Another Snag.
