Yes, August Flower still has the

civilized world. Your mothers and
grandmothers never thought of U.S.

biliousness. Doctors were scarce and
they seldom heard Of appendicitis,

| Minneapolis Lumherman: The

about 225 men, a steam boat. and a
llarge number OF teams working, and
hope to have a few logs to the mills
before long.

only men employed by the

Above Rrainerd the Northern

OUR BOYS VICTORIOUS WEDNESDAY
They Managed to Scoop Frazee at Psrham
by Score of ~ to 6. Play Brain

The Little Falls base ball team
was successful in their game of ball
with the Frazee nine at Perham
Wednesday.
Score:
Frazee ............. l o 4 0 % 90 l. 6.

Frazee made seven hits off Terrell
While our boys managed to hit four
teen OF the balls thrown by Frazee's
pitcher. Frazec made nine errors
aud Little Falls three.
The two teams were evenly
matched neither getting the best OF
the other until the seventh inning
when Frazee went to pieces allow
ing our boys to run five men over
home plate.
The eight inning was duplicate
CT the seventh inning for both teams,
Frazee failing to score while Our
team again put five mel over home
plate The game throughout was
well played. Both teams did good
work until the latter part of the
game. Our battery, Terrell and
Englebretsen, did very good work.
Terrell is credited with striking out
seventeen men, three more than dur.
the game at Detroit.
The last inning was pitched by
Murphy for our team, not because
Terrell was played out, but simply
for Il change as they were sure of the
game.
Next Sunday our team plays ball
with Brainerd at this place. This
will undoubtedly be a good game as
both teams play good ball.

State Fire Warden Andrews is Active il
Watching the dry
Woods.

Minneapolis Journal: Small fires
are reported in many sections Of
northern Minnesota and the chief
fire warden has been taking partic-
ular pains to make special efforts
to keep them under control. The
woods are in a very imf1ammable
condition now and. II fires Gre
allowed to spread there is danger Of
a catastrophe as great as that
caused by the great Hinkley fire in
1894. Alarming reports have been
received from Pine, Carleton and
Aitkin counties and upon an urgent
request the fire warden went ,yester-
day to Carleton county and will
spend some time in the timbered
regions, making a systematic organ
ization for the suppression of fires
as rapidly as they break out He
will enlist the services OF several
hundred assistant wardens living in
northern Minnesota.
Lumberman, who would be the
greatest losers in the event of a
widespread contlagration, are tax
ing the utmost precaution to pre-
vent fires. In some instances they
have hired large crews OF men to go
into the woods and fight fires. The
tire warden has addressed a circular
letter to railroad companies asking
them to have section crews patrol
on hand cars to prevent forest fires.

and Payne were enabled to prosecute
their work of getting Oklahoma opened
to the settlers. In the dark days Of the
campaign for homes in Oklahoma in
Washington there were many times when
the money to keep the little band of
lobbyists in food was a serious question,
and it was at these times that Major
Burke usually happened around and
contributed 80 bills to the expense fund
Hon. Sidney Clarke was one Of the men

nal the other day he said: THAT man,
Major Burke, who has been with Buffalo
Bill for so many years, should have
reception when he comes here that he
would never forget, I was in Washing
ton one day talking with Captain Couch
and Payne, when a large, fieshy man
came up to Captain Couch and said:
Well, how goes it in your fight with
these Indian-lovers? Suppose they have
got you running yet, haven't they? Well,
here is my bit, and If you want more in
a few days wire me as often as you need
it
After he had gone Couch opened his
hand, which he had clasped and in it
was a hundred-dollar bill. asked who
he was ond Coptain Couch, with more
feeling than he usually showed, said:
That was Major Burke, who is with
Buffalo Bill, and he has done this same
trick on US several times, and I want TO
tell you that we would have missed many
a meal here if it had not been for HIM
Major Burke needs no reception to
introduce him. for every man who has
ever heard Of Buffalo Bill knows who is

former license was declared void by the

was announced hartman filed an appli-

that the petition does not contain the
required number of signers; that the ap-
plicant is not man of respectable char
acter, and not resident of the territory;
that the license is not sought in good
faith but is for the use of James Marri-
