Grand Forks CelebratiOn.

Through the kindness Of our former
Joe. Seaman, who is now located at
Grand Forks, n. d., and is secretary Of
the Free Street Fair Association" we
are favored with cordial invitation
as well as complimentary tickets, for
the fourth annual meeting to be held
oct. ), 6 and I. The following extracts
from the program will give something
of an idea of the elaborate preparations
tainment of the visitors.
The Fail OF Santiago put on by the
Minneapolis Fire Works company, will
be one Of the leading attractions at the
Grand Forks street fair this year. This
is one of the most gorgeous productions
yet seen in the west. 1t was produced
in Lake Harriet recently and over forty
thousand people paid to see it. 1t is to
be exhibited free Of charge at the street
fair. Forts will be constructed along
the river bank within the view of all,
and will lombard them with torpeloes
electrical works and other fireworks
paraphernalia.
The lady acronaut who ascends in a
balloon 1000 feet and jumps ont on a
bicycle with parachute in connection,
is another interesting feature of Grand
Forks Free Street fair, Oct. ). 6, and !.
And after having seen that you may in
cidentally witness the famous dog bal
loonist which goes up for a distance of

Milwaukee's Candidate for l.. S.
Senator.
Fond Du Lac Commonwealth:

Ond Du Lac Commonwealth:
The candidacy of Mr.. Quarles is a
notable event in Wisconsin politics. 1t
brings into the senatorial contest a gem
tleman of splendid character, of nigh
and varied attainments, and who is
widely known in the state The warm
est friends and most loyal supporters OF
Mr.. Cook or Mr.. Stephenson, are will
ing to admit publicly that Mr.. Quarles
has eminent qualifications for the office
of senator. He has ripe scholarship.
In the legal profession he has no super
ior in Wisconsin. In oratory, both at
the bar and on the platform, he is SUI
perb. On all constitutional questions,
and all other matters of great moment,
which 30 frequently reach the United
States Senate, the voice of Mr.. Quarles
would attract national attention. 1t is
but simple justice to Mr.. Quarles for
the Commonwealth to say that in adj
dition to his acknowledged ability for
the Office of senator. he is also a man of
the people. His friends say for him
that ''he has never taken any active
part in local politics and is not identi-
fed with corporate interests which
have Legislative favors to ask; :" and the
statement will be indorsed by all who
know Mr.. Quarles. His candidacy for
the Senate will attract wide attention,
and however strongly any one may be
committed to any other candidate, the
name OF Mr.. Quarles will be mentioned
ALWAYS with respectful consideration.

he should throw in as much eloquence

A Bad Accident in Duluth.

The worst accident that has occurred
in Duluth in many years was recorded
Wednesday, when n hook and ladder
truck rushing to a fire collided with
street car, resulting in the death of
fireman named Finlayson, and the SER
ious injury of two other firemen, name
~ Mr.. Twaddle and driver Warren,
who is badly bruised and has a broken
arm. The dead man leaves wife and
three children. The accident is greatly
lameuted by one and all, but we do not
see how anyone can be blamed for X.
Fortunately the car was running slowly.
else the collision would have been
much worse; as it was, the truck and
car almost escaped each other, the last
wheels o the truck striking the fender
and twisting the drawbar as if it were
nothing but a slender twig of willow.
After this shock the body of the truck
slued round and crashed into tele-
graph pole on the east corner of Lake
avenue. The impact of that framework
or heavy iron, loaded down with 2pD
feet of ladder. was something tremend-
Gus. and one of the spokes of the rear
wheel was driven three inches into the
pole. The sluing Of the truck smashed
the rim of the wheel in an instant, and
the hub was stripped of its spokes in
the twinklIng OF an eye.
When the crash came. Flnlayson was
between the truck aud the telegraph
pole. His body was lurched against
the pole and thrown back under the
truck, where it Law motioniess, pinned
to the ground. Truckman Twaddie was
hurled 10 the gutter and pinned TO the
ground by one Of the forward wheels.
The other men were tossed violently
to the ground.

A Good story.

Hon Graham L. Rice, the Republican
nominee for Railroad Commissioner,
was heard, a few years ago, relating
joke perpetrated upon him by Hon.
Charles Smith, now judge Of the Supe.
rior court in this city. Graham had just
left school. and feeling the necessity of
doing something for a living, took an
agency for nursery and with his book
of beautiful pictures of trees. 'ruit and
flowers started out into the world to do
business, but after tramping TOR DAYS
and meeting with poor success he be-
came respondent and felt like throwing
up the job, when a friend suggested
that he visit Attorney Smith, that he
might make a sale to him. So. learning
the location of Mr.. Smiths office, in
the second story of brick block, he
ventured in and asked for Mr. Smith.
Graham was informed that he was then
addressing Mr.. Smith, whereupon he
presented his book and proceeded to
interest Mr.. Smith, and make a sale if
posslDle WI. .iiiitH seemingly was very
much interested and asked many dues-
tons, admired the plates of the various
shrubs and trees, and at last told Crab
am he would very much like variety
along the walks and driveway of his
home, and for Graham to view the
premises and inform him what kind of
trees and shrubs would most beautify
the grounds. Graham's heart fairly
came into his mouth over the prospec-
tive sale, and in his joyous excitement
forgot to learn the location of Mr..
Smiths grounds and residence, and
finding himself on the street and not
knowing where to 90 he ventured to
ask a merchant near by where Mr.
Smith lived. He was informed that Mr.
S. did not own a foot OF land, to say
nothing about a house of his own, but
lived in few small rooms in the rear
Of his Office III the same building, and
that he was a joker and that he (Grah
ann was victim. Graham's heart
dropped with a thud az far below its
natural location as it had been above.
Now when they meet Graham finds
that there still exists a spirit of retaIia-
ton that is hard to suppress.
