Grand Rapids Gets the Satisfaction.

Itasca county has secured the SUBJ
station of the experimental farm.
The committee Of regents decided
upon the lOca ton Thursday. The
Grand Rapids offer was as follows:
For the consideration Of $4,000 it
was proposed to turn over for the
use Of the committee 455 acres Of
land. including the improvements.
These include a house and barn,
with the various farm buildings, and
two miles of fencing. The money to
be paid is represented as being less
than the cost of the Improvements,
and the land is, therefore, practically
donated. OF the 455 acres, 70 are
under cultivation.
While some effort was made by
Little Falls to get the farm, the
effort never went farenOugh to make
even q definite offer of site at any
fixed price. 1t was not possible,
therefore. for the regents to really
consider this place in their final
d decision.

Keller Goes to Europe.

Senator Henry Keller, of StearDs
county, started Monday for New
York. says the st. Paul Pioneer
Press, whence he will sail the last OF
this week for Europe. He will visit
the home of his childhood in Hesse
Darmstadt, ard will remain abroad
for an indefinite period. Mr.. Keller
left Germany when young man, in
1864, to avoid service in the German
army. Arriving in New York just
before the close of the civil war in
America, he enlisted in the Tenth
United States infantry before he had
been three days in the country.
When the war closed, he came with
his company to Fort Ripley, where
he served until his discharge. After
ward he located at Sauk Centre, and
has ever since been one of the best
known business men and politicians
in Northern Minnesota. Those who
have had business and social rela-
lions with him will regret to learn
that the recent death Of bis father In
the old country may make it neces-
sary for him to remain permanently
in Germany. There are large pro-
perty interests involved, which Mr..
Keller will be compelled to look
personally after.

The Great Tobacco War.

Many OF our readers know of the
war existing between the manu-
facturers of plug chewing tobacco,
but few, perhaps, are familiar with
the cause.
For years some manufacturers
have been making enormous profits
by giving consumers a small piece OF
plug for ten cents. Recently a very
large manufacturer, seeing that the
time had come for better things, has
placed new brand called Battle AK
on the market, which gives the con-
sumner a very large piece of most
excellent quality for the sane price.
This has raised great storm among
those who are hurt by it, but it Civ es
Joy to those who use the goods. In
Battle AK they get greater quantity
for their money, while the quality is
equal to the finest OF other brands.
This has naturally had the effect OF
greatly decreasing the business of
those who have held to the old way,
and it has materially curtailed their
enormous profits. On the other
hand Battle AK now takes the re-
sources of three large factories.
which. by running night and day,
are still unable to make the goods
fast enough to satisfy the enthusi-
astic demand.
The people want good thing and
the most Of it they can get for the
price. The manufacturers who do
the best by them will get their trade.
Their rivals naturally do not like it.
They saise a mighty howl, but the
AK will cut them down.

VIENNA, April 2l.-Ba,on do Hirsoh,
the noted Jewish philanthropist, died
of heart disease at his estate near
Comorn.
The millionaire railroad builder and
philanthropist, Baron Morris de Hirsch
de Gereuth, was native Of Bavaria, and
was born in 1888. He inherited great
wealth from his father, but by gigantic
operations in railroads he was enriched
beyond the dreams Of avarice. Some Is
years ago Baron de Hirsch had completed
his great system of road In Europe and
found himself at the age Of 4S with more
money than he knew what to do with He
had no children to inherit his wealth, and
he and his wife were Of one mind rs to
what should be done. In his railway OPP
erations he had seen throughout the East
how badly off the people were for schools.
He therefore established educational and
industrial schools in Egypt and in Euro
pean and Asiatic Turkey. These he has
since looked af, er and maintained. To
the schools in Gallncn he gave *2,"O0, 900.
His Work for the jews.
Years ago he saw the tendency to op-
press he Jews in Russia, and he made an
offer of SIC, 900, 0OO to the Russian govern
ment for schools, with the one proviso
that no distinction should be made as to
race or religion. This generous and mu-
niflcent offer was refused by the Russian
government, an shortly afterward begun

OF this scheme the public in America
has heard much 1t has had successes
and failures. Baron dc Hirsch learned
from the reports Of his agents and col
leagues in the United States that it would
be very easy to overdo the thing in bring
ing out Russian Hebrews. So the baron
sent agents 10 South America and Mexico
to negotiate for the purchase Of large
tracts of land. In the Argentine Repub-
lie the people were bitterly opposed to it
and made such manifestations of angry
hostility that the plan had to be ubln-
doned. Then Mexico was settled upon,
and President Diaz promptly gave his
assurance of cooperation. These are the
large bcnevolences that engaged the re-
cent years of this Jewish millionaire.

HENRY @. FORD.

Hon. Henry o. Ford, President of
the Pennsylvania Fish Commission
ers died Monday evening at the Ger
man Hospital in Philadelphia where
he was under treatment for a COM
plaint of long standing. This spring
he visited this county in hopes of
receiving benefit, but was not
strengthened and he returned home.
He was an enthusiastic angler and in
pursuit of this sport travelled all
over the United States and Canada
fishing the most prominent streams.
His labors in stocking our streams
and particularly the Delaware river
with shad has very largely increased
the product of fish, and it is estima-
ted that one of the results of placing
young shad in this stream alone has
resulted in an increased value of
the fisheries of 100000.
He was a member of most of the
prominent angling associations of
the country, and gave especial at
tention to the preparation of the an
nual reports which were the finest
of the kind published. He was twice
married his second wife being the
daughter of Moses Van Gorden, of
Lehman township, this County, who
with one son Ralph, and three sons
by a former wife survive him.
His remains will be inferred to-
day, (Friday) in the Delaware ceme-
terry at Dingmans, he having ex-
pressed q wish to be laid at rest in
that peaceful and beautiful spot.

The intense heat and high percen-

conditions were favorable to all
growing crops except where there
was deficiency of moisture. Ow
ing to the unequal distribution of

pasture lands. Most of the oats
have been housed in good condition,

siderable good hay has also been Sc
