condemnation Of the Judas lscarlots in

basely betrayed the cause, of tariff fe-

the people, for bread. gave them stone;
who from their high estate have sought
companionship with the legitimate son
of the Republican party, the sugar

citation have became self-branded polit-

by all honest people, and none the less
so by their Republican coadjutOrs who
have aided and abetted them in their

We call upon all Democrats and upon
all the people. In this the hour of our
betrayal to the trusts, to stand by the
cOlors OF tariff reform, to fight manfully
the battle of freedom from the shackles
of tariff oppression and never waver,

SAUK RAPIDS. Minn., Sept. 1.-Forest
fires are raging in every direction north.
east and west, and they have burned
telegraph poles and railway ties to such
an extent that there is no communica-
ton with the outside world except a
single telephone wire to st. Paul, by
which this message is sent. The town
of Mllaca. place Of 500 people in Millef
Lacs county, is burning, and the loss
may reach 100000. Three persons met
death In horrible manner in farm
house near that point. When the flames
rushed down in that direction this after
noon farmer ran out, and. securing
team, attempted to save his place by
blowing around it. His wife went to
help him, leaving a sleeping babe within
the house. A flying spark set. the house
on fire and it was soon all aflame. The
mother ran with all haste to save her
little one, disappearing within just as
the roof fell IN. Seeing this the herror
stricken hus band hurried to his house
and rushed inside, only to be burned
to death with his wife and child. In
the same neighborhood another man is
missing, and is believed to have burned
up in his hay field. Late in the after
noon, on an urgent request from MIlaca,
train loaded with men from st. Cloud
and Sauk Rapids started for that place.
They were only able to proceed as far
as Bridgman, where they found the
country all ablaze. Railway bridges.
ties and telegraph poles were all gone.
and the heat so intense that there was
no use for the crew to attempt to pro-
ceed. Getting the fire around Bridg-
man under control, the train returned
to this point. Since 6 o'clock it has
been absolutely impossible to establish
communication with Milaca, Princeton
and neighboring points. Forest and
prairie fires are also raging north OF
here in Becker and Aitkin counties.
Heavy losses to farm houses, barns,
grain and hay stacks, fences and wood
are reported. The losses in this neigh
borhood will easily reach 100000. and
II there is no rain in the next forty
eight hours the whole country will be
burned over.
