1t was summer time now, Of the Same
year.
The months had worn through, as months
will. We may weep or laugh, win or fail,
save or sin-still tides rise and fall, winds
come and 60, stars shine, birds sing and trees
leaf and bloom, wheat and weed grow lusty
side by side, days pass and nights succeed.
The sun goes down on the bloody battle; the
moon swings up in the eastern sky, and the
peaceful light lies calm and white on bomb
plowed earth and CHASTITY, upturned face.
The same brook prattles sweet thoughts of
love to gentle maidens' ears that, in tho

"Oh, night, what prayers you hear, what

slowly out of her cheek; she could not keept

Tired feeling, dull headache, pains
in various parts of the body, sinking
at the pit of the stomach, loss of ap-
petite, feverishness, piInples or sores,
are all positive evidence of poisoned

poisoned it must be purified to avoid

this money and entere upon new fiS-
cal year, the state treasurer discovers
that his revenue fund is exhausted. His
recourse for relief is to the banks. He
bOrrOwS money from them. He DOrrOwS
money for the revenue fund from the
very banks in which he has deposited
money for the other state funds-SchOol,
etc, and he horrOwS it at
JUST Il PER CENT
interest. The revenue fund being eX--
hausted. and the banks having control
of the states other funds at
the low rate of 3 per cent,
interest, on the request of the state
treasurer for a loan to meet the def
cheney in the state revenue fund loan
back to him the state money which he
has deposited with them and compel
him to pay per cent interest for t..
That is all there is to the transaction
except the little item, interesting to
every taxpayer, that the banks make 3
per cent on the deal, and the state not
alone burdened by a deficit in its
revenue, suffers from paying double the
interest itreceives for the money it de-
pOsits.
This state of affairs is frankly ad-
mitted by Treasurer BObleter TO the
GLOBE. Ee says:
We receive per cent interest on our de-
posits and have to pay per cent on the
money we borrow from the banks.
This method has been pursued for
years. 1t is but one of the many leak
ages by which the Republican party
has fattened itself at the expense OF the
taxpayers.

The Indians are very much chagrlned
1T the action of their chiefs in consent
ing to go to Washington at the request
Of the commission, and old Sitting Bull
is taking advantage of their feeling to
regain supremacy in the tribes. Yester-
day was ration day, and the Indians
held big council, at which they ex-
pressed themselves as strongly opposed
to the Washington junket of the chiefs.
They are also exhibiting suspicion to-
wards John Grass, who they believe is
weakening, and are frank in declaring
that they would like to have
Sitting Bull appointed chief justice
in his stead. They say that
consenting to go to Washington. Sit
ting Bull has evidently been doing
some Of his fine wire pulling among
the braves and has succeeded in under
mining the influences of the other
chiefs. These dissatisfactions are most
favorable to the opening of the res
ervatiOn, for it breaks the unit rule and
demoralizes the ranks which have been
held together so long against the treaty.
Ii the chiefs have a conference with
President Cleveland they will in all
probability return willing to sign and
advise their people to do the same.
Meantime Sitting Bull, who is not go
ing to Washington, will be marshaling
his forces and sowing the germs of
suspicion among the Indians and will
take advantage of the opportunity to
regain SUPREMACY.

SPOKANE FALLS, W. T., Sept. 49,
At o'clock this morning the cry OF
fire, which Spokane has learned to
dread of late, awoke the city from its
slumbers. The alarm rang out about
the same time, and soon flremen, to-
gether with hundreds of citizens, were
dashing to tine scene of the contiagra-
ton, which proved to be in the rear OF
the Boston store. The firemen soon got
to work. while hundreds of willing
hands assisted in removing the stock.
After about half an hours hard labor
the boys of the fire department sue
ceeded in checking the progress of the
flames. The stock of Messrs. Haas &
Pierce, of the Boston store, was dam
aged by water, and the insurance
will not cover their loss. Mr..
Haas only returned from the East Sat
urday, and on several days past his en-
ployeS have been at work arranging the
fall stock which arrived by the carload,
as the business of the Boston store is
very extensive. Hardly had the firemen
got the flames under control, when the
alarm bell began to toll again its dread
warning, while a bright light sprung
up from the Cottage hotel on Main
street. For moment all was cOnfu-
sion. A detachment of tiremen with
one line of hose started for the confia-
grafton. This fire, too, was we'll under
way, the entire lower portion of the
building being wrapped in flames, upon
which the little stream of water had
little effect. The bOarders in the Cot
tage hotel had barely time to escape
and in spite of the efforts of the fire de-
partment the flames spread to Schaner's
livery stable on the east, and to the Ne
vada house OH the west. The fire was
arrested by tearing down small build
ings adjoining the Nevada house. An
immense crowd had collected, and long
and bitter were the imprecations heaped
on the heads of the fire-bugs, to whom
there is every reason to believe both
fires are attributable. A committee of
citizens was formed to-day, and tonight
the city is being patrOled by armed
men. Saloons and gambling houses
have been ordered closed by the mayor,
and the streets were cleared after IL
o'clock. The loss by the fire is $5O,OOO;
insurance, S20. 900.

TEN DAYS DETENTION.
Such Should Be Enforced Against
All Refugees From Southern

Such Should Be Enforced Against
All Refugees From Southern
Points.
NASHVILLE, Tenn. Sept. 1s-A con-
ference of delegates from the boards of
health of many of the Southern states
and illinois was held here to-day for the
purpose of discussing the yellow fever
situation. An exhaustive interchange
of ideas was had and resolutions
adopted declaring it the sense of the
conference that ten days detention
of yellow fever refugees should be en-
forced against those destined to points
south of the northern boundary of Ten
nessee, but in view of the late
ness of the season it is recon-
mended that healthful refugees
whose baggage has been disinfected
should be permitted to go north of that
line without retention; that the appear
ance of one case of fever in town
should not be sufficient to warrant
quarantine against that town until other
cases have made their appearance, and
in no case should city be quarantined
against without inquiries having first
been made of the authorities of the
place rumOred to have been infected.
1t is urgently recommended that such
change should be made in the national
health service as would, through proper
assistance and cooperation with state
boards, give protection and security to
the public health.

ONLY ONE INJURED.
Explosion in the Be!oit Straw
board COmpany's Mill.

Special to the Globe.
BELoIT, Wis, Sept, 1S.-A terrible
explosion occurred this evening in the
Beloit Strawboard company's mill. The
mill is owned largely by Barrett &
Kimball, of Chicago, and has been I'M
dergoing very extensive repairs for sew
eral months. Work had just been re-
suned, and one of the large rOtarleS eX-
plOded after only two hours use. The
top of the building, which is an i'm
mense structure, was blown off, all the
panes of glass were shattered and the
walls of the building were all bulged
out, so they will probably fall. The
rotary that exploded was in the
second story, and although there
were many men about, all but
one escaped entirely uninjured.
Daniel L. Winston was near the rotary
and was thrown a long distance and
seriously, but not fatally, hurt. His
worst injury is in his head. which was
seriously cut. The extent of damage
cannot be estimated at present. 1t is
between $4,000 and 700. Many men
will be thrown out of work for long
time. New machinery will be required,
and the building will have to be rebuilt
throughout. The noise of the explosion
was heard a mile from the mill. The
remaining machinery was at once shut
down, the mill being run by water
power. The fire companies were called
out, but their services were not re-
Ouired,

Special to the Globe.
WINONA, Sept. 1S.-Frank L. Ran
dali, Esq. chairman of the Democratic
congressional committee of the First
district, has received the following let
ter from Congr ssman Wilson, asking
for an arrangement to meet Hon. Mark
II. Dunnell in joint debate:
Dear Sir: IL cannot be denied but that
there are issues involved i'll the political
campaign of this fall which most vftally af-
feet the material interests of our people. So
that there may be Il fair presentation of those
issues before the pepole, so that msappre-
hension, If any has existed. may be removed.
and so that misrepresentation if any have
been made, may be exposed, propose that
you arrange for joint discussion in our dis
trlet, between Mr.. Dunnell and myself of
the issues involved at this election OF
course Mr.. Dunnell will gladly assent TO this,
FOR being most experienced politician and
able campaign speaker, he will have a great
advantage over me. But ruth will be best
elected and falSehood best exposed in this
way. 1t is now clear that after the next
week or ten days there will be no legislation
OF Importance by congress at this session,
therefore shall return home by the lst of
next month, and | hope the arrangements
may be made for the joint discussion TO COM
mence as soon thereafter as possible. Yours
truly, Thomas WILSON.
This afternoon Mr.. Randall sent out
an invitation to Hon. Henry Birkett,
chairman of the Republican congress
sional committee. Mr.. Dunnell's
answer to this challenge is availed with
great interest here. Among the Demo-
Gratis there is no anxiety as to how
Judge Wilson would come out in de-
bate with Dunnell, and 1t is hoped the
debate NAV be arranged

hundreds were turned away. There
was great disappointment at the alb
Sence of Gen. Fisk, who had been ad-

Prof. Hopkins spoke an hour each. An
other big mass meeting tonight was ad-
dressed by T. G, Richmond, chairman
of the PrOhibitiOnist state central COM
mittee. The ProhibitiOnist congress
sional convention was called to order at

nomination John P. Rea. He gave as
another reason for nominating Rea
that he thought that after Capt.
Snider had been in congress two terms
be would be willing to step aside in
favor of Rea. and he wanted to an
nounce to the people now that he ex-
pected Rea to succeed Snider four years
hence. Capt. Burger announced that
ne seconded the nomination of John P.
hea, and then started off into quite a
lengthy speech, the burden of which
was that the 7Scheffer men and his good
friend AL Scheffer had been called Dem
OcratS. and that they were considerably
grieved about it.
SNIDER GETS THERE.
A. j. BOardman then made a motion
that an informal vote be taken and that
the chairman of each delegation an
nounce the vote of his delegation when
the name of his county was called.
This motion was adopted after it had
been amended at the suggestion of ID.
Aberle, so that the vote taken would be
a formal one. The roll call of the coun-
ties was then had and the vote an
nounced as follows: AnOka, Snider, 5
votes; Chisago, Snider. 6; Henne-
pin, Snider, So; Isanti, Snider,

ington, Snider Z; Wright. Snider and
Rea l. Whole number of votes cast, SO;
necersary for choice, 50; total vote for
Snider, 76; total vote for Rea, %. AL
bert Scheffer moved that Snider's NOM
ination be made unanimous, which was
done with hurrah. Capt. Snider was
then called to the platform. and after
thanking the convention for the nOmi-
nation, said that this district was the
most populOus one in the country, and
that it had larger population than
some of the states which are represented
by nine or ten congressman, and for
that reason 1t is great honor to repre-
sent this district in congress. The con-
vention then adjourned, after authOriZ-
ing the chairman to appoint a committee
consisting of one member from each
county in the district and five at large.
TIE NOMINEE.
Samuel p. Snider was born at Mount
Gilead. o., Oct. 9, 1915, and was en-
gagged in teaching school at Berlin, O.,
at the breaking out IF the war. He en-
listed in the SiXty-ffth Ohio infantry,

Hon. j. II. Ackermann Declines
to Be i'm Bad Company
If a bombshell had fallen at the feet
of Stanford Newell yesterday he could
not have been more paralyzed than he
was in receiving letter from Hon. j..
II. Ackermann, of Carver county, de-
clining to serve on the Republican state
central committee. Mr.. Ackermann is
one of the most prominent and respected
Germans in the Minnesota valley, He
has served in the state legislature with
credit, and has always been known as
an honorable, upright citizen. His ap-
pointment by Gibbs on the Republican
state central committee was made
at the dictation of Mr.. Merriam
and was intended as a sop to the Ger
man vote, and especially the insulted
and outraged Scheffer element. Satur-
day last Mr.. Ackerman visited st. Paul
and held consultation with some of
his friends. Monday, when the state
Republican committee met and organ
lied, he was absent, as the GLOBE
noted. Yesterday Mr.. Newell heard
from him. His letter was short and not
sweet: In plain language he told Mr..
Newell that he could not and would not
serve. This is sentence from the
letter quoted by gentleman who knew
of Mr.. Ackermann'S intentions:
81 cannot act on a committee which
supports man for the office of governor
whom l believe to have been cOrruptly
nominated"
John l.. Gibbs, Heatwole, Merriam
and Newell at once held consultation
i'll the Merchants bank to decide as to
who should succeed Mr.. Ackermann.
No attention was paid to his statement
that his support could not be given as
long as the charges of bribery and cor
ruption connected with Merriam's nom
nation remained unanswered. The
republican headquarters in the Drake
block were blue-colored and dismal yes
terday.

BISMARCK, Dak., Sept. 1S.-The in
terest in the conference between the
commissioners and>the Indians for the
opening of the great reservation is still
intense, especially among the Indians,
who are becoming suspicious of their
leaders. There Is good reason to be-
lieve that the policy now adopted by
the commission will result in the de-
moralization of the Indian forces and
the ultimate opening of the reservation.
Maj. Mclaughlin, the agent at Stand
ing Rock, who has almost complete con-
troll over his Indians, left Standing
Rock yesterday with Chief Justice
John Grass and other chiefs, whom he
will take to the lower Brule agency,
where they will meet and confer with
the chiefs of the lower agencies.
1t is believed by the commits
sion and others that the major
will be able to induce his
chiefs to sign the treaty, provided he
can get them away from their Indians
and away from the influences of the
council. Arrangements have been about
completed for taking the chiefs to Wash
ingtOn, and they will be taken from
Lower Brule to the national capitol.

be keenly contested for. The Main
building is pretty we'll filled with ex-
hibits. The merchants are making
handsomd displays. The ladies have
eXcelled all previous efforts, and pre-
seuted an elegant collection of art and
