craze for cycling in South Africa The

more generally used in that town than

We have noticed that those who have
the heaviest burdens TO bear generally
bear them with the most fortitude; that
those who find life the hardest often live
the most cheerful lives and are most be-
loved; that the ''croaker'' is one who has
received more good at the hands OF Prov
idence than he deserved, and has no one
but himself to blame for the hard bed he
sleeps on. The writer has recently rid
den some 1900 miles and has talked with
men IN all stations OF life from all parts
OF the country. but he has heard more
''croaking' in three days at home than
he heard in the three weeks that he was
away from home, and yet nowhere that
he has been are the conditions of life SO
easy as here in Tulare County.

Duluth, the Zenith City of the Unsalted
Seas, has amply fulfilled the prophesies
of Proctor Knott, whose foresight was
keen enough to foretell it's magnificent To-
cation on Lake Superior. But Proctor
Knott himself would be surprised If he
were in Duluth today and witnessed the
spectacle of vessels, freight and passen-
ger, which make that point their terminal
from the large Eastern cities No line of
steamers has done more for the advance
ment of this magic city than the Northern
S. S. Co., with its fleet of six large freight
steamers and the two floating palaces.
Northwest and Northland, used exclu-
sively for passenger service. These boats
are creating a revolution in transeonti-
mental travel, and tourists between the
two great oceans are largely favoring this
route in connection with the Great North
ern Railway. The boats leave Duluth on
Mondays and Fridays, and make almost
as fast time as the all rail route. with
much cheaper rates. Comfort and lux
ury when combined with economy are GER
tainly desirable in these times.

Injunction Issued Against Police
Commissioners.
THE CITY COUNCIL is SUlLEN
sion of the Property OF
the City.

Omaha, Aug. 2.-Three police COM
missioners are acting under the A. p.
A. police law and doing business in
Omaha tonight, regardless of the fact
that the district court restrained the
city council from approving their
bonds. The oath Inbound organization
in the council has a working majority
and the courts order was ignored. AS
a result the Citizens Volunteer Guard
of 100 men Is on duty at the police sta
ton tonight to maintain peace and as
sist the regular police force in holding
possession of the city property.
Messrs. Broatch, Vandervoort and
Foster were given their certificates as
police commissioners at noon by the
attorney general and commissioners of
public lands and buildings. The COVER
nor refused to sit with them and
warned them that their course was il
legal.
The Omaha council met in special ses-
sion at 4:30 to approve the bonds, but
were met with an injunction returnable
tomorrow in the district court. The
order was ignored and the police com
mission at once appointed a full police
force. They will make no effort to get
possession of the city property before
morning. At an early hour tomorrow
the district court will take up the mat
ter of the council proceedings in con-
tempt and will probably annul its work.
There is much inflammatory talk and
several companies of militia in differ
ent parts of the state have been noti-
fled to be in readiness to move on to
Omaha in the event of trouble. Cover
nor Holcomb is prepared to maintain
| the law and tonight is using all means
| in his power to conserve the peace and
have the whole squabble carried to the
supreme court.
| AT II p. m. tonight the district court
| issued an injunction restraining the
new police commissioners from inter
fering with the old force or any munich
| pal property or from acting in any ca
pacity. The case will be heard at noon
tomorrow. The new commission has not
yet indicated it's action on this injunc-
| ton.
The commissioner of public lands and
| buildings and the attorney general
who are A. p. A. men, made an appoint
ment to meet at Lincoln. The governor
| refused to meet with them. They ap
| pointed Captain Broatch, Paul Wander
WORT and Fl. It. Foster police commits

requires that all commissions of this
character shall be signed by the gov
ernor. The governor refused to sigr
these commissions and the attorney

TO SETTLE A BOUNDARY DISPUTE
Missouri and Iowa VIII End Discussions
of Long Standing

Des Moines. Iowa, Aug 1.-Governor
Jackson has gone to st. Louis on an in.
vitation of Governor Stone of Missouri
for conference to endeavor to settle the
long-standing boundary dispute between
this state and Missouri The boundary line
between the states was surveyed in 1887
and adopted when Iowa was admitted.
1t was marked by posts which have dis
appeared. Later Missouri made a sur
vey 10 miles north of the first and the
courts at last decided that the old line
was correct. Meantime the posts had
disappeared and for many years there
have been disputes over jurisdiction in
the uncertain territory. In Mercer coun-
ty. Missouri. and Decatur county, Iowa.
there has been a feud for many years
because of the dispute.
Governor Stone wants each state to
name an engineer. the two to name a
third, the three to be commissioned to
settle the whole matter and make new
survey and establish marks.

INTERIOR DEPARTMENT is UNJUST
Statement About Mineral Land Commits.
siOners Not Warranted by Enets

Helena, Aug. 1.-The mineral land
commissioners OF the Helena district take
decided exceptions to a statement by
Commissioner Lomereux, sent out by the
Associated Press. which stated that the
work thus far done in classifying the
lands In Montana and Idaho has been far
from satisfactory. Relative to this Ly-
man Barnes. chairman of the mineral
land commission for the Helena district,
told local newspaper that the Helena
commissioners had examined $4,000 acres
at cost of two and one-half cents per
acre. instead Of rs cents, as Lamoreaux
estimated. Mr.. Barnes said:
TT Is also stated that the cost of the
classification in the four districts OF Mon
tana and Idaho will be SS,000,Oo0 and up-
wards. 1t Is generally conceded that the
Helena land district is the most import
ant and most difficult to classify of the
four on the basis of actual experience
The cost OF the classification In the four
districts should not exceed, and In all
human probability will be much less, than
10 per cent OF that SUM. or less than
100000 In Montana and Idaho. providing
OF course that the work done in the other
three districts will be respectively equal
to that done In this.
