"FRESH FISH,

deputy Game Wardens at Elk River
y Greeted by All Kinds Of Josh.
There was surely"a hot time in Elk
River one day this week when the
boys got the: best Of, q couple OF
Anoka deputy. game wardens. The
wardens, as told in this paper: Thurs
day, seized illegal fishing, appliances
and some fish and were in a joyful
humor over the Important capture:
They stopped for a short time at a
local bar to regale themselves before
starting On their drive to Anoka and
the boys of the village stole their cap

Wednesday the officials appeared to
consult with the authorities and while
they were in the Office of County Attor-

What You Get for Taxes.

Why q man pays taxes and what he

in this manner by an .exchange:fsss A
man with $1,000 worth of property is
likely to pay from ten to fifteen dollars
a year taxes. For this, If he lived in
the city, he gets the service of the 20

AN amusing incident occurred last
Sunday night and the parties to the
affair are both keeping very quiet
about it for fear of the chatting which
it would bring on them. A we'll known
young lady was returning from a trip to
Minneapolis and got into the bus when
her train arrived at Princeton, ex-
pecting to be taken home. The driver
when hesarriyed, at the hotel backed
|up to the platform and allsthe passen-
gers got out as he supposed and he
drove into the barn to put up his team.
When the team had been unhitched he
got up to extinguish the light and dis
covered the demure maiden still wait
ing to be dropped at the gate. Ex-
plantations followed and secrecy was
pledged: but one of the parties trusted
friend with the story and there is 4
considerably quiet fun going the
rounds.
The Northeastern Telephone COM
pany has added four new numbers to

DIR. HARPER'S ONION CURE.
Philadelphia Physician Says 1t In
Not Unusual-Maiden-Te
Remedy.

II laughed when I saw what to-do
the papers made the other day over the
recent prescription of onions to DR..
Harper, the president of the Chicago
university, by DOCTOR" said Phila-
delphia physician the other light.
1.-The papers seemed to think onions
an odd and unusual remedy, but the
truth is that they have been recognized
as a medicine for thousands of wears.
They are spoken of in that regard on
the hieroglyphics found in Egyptian
tombs. The homeopaths first brought
onions into latter-day prominence un-
der the name of alum cepa. 1t is good
for cold in the head, rheumatism and
indigestion.
IF the papers want queer remedies
to talk about, they might take up
maidens' tears, for instance. In one of
the medical journals not long since
doctor had long article on the eff
cacy of the tears of melancholy, love-
sick maids as a cure for the lovesick-
ness of other maidens. There are, too.

Bernard Kane captured the elevator in
the Pabst hotel at Forty-second street
and Broadway, New York city, the
other night and held it against all COM
ers for nearly half an hour. Kane is an
engineer. The other night he visited
several places in Broadway, Sixth and
Seventh avenues, and the cross streets.
and slaked his thirst in every place.
Finally he wound up in the Pabst hotel
and took drink. Then he walked over
to the elevator and took charge.
Get out of there" said James Smith,
the steward of the hotel. "What do you
mean by stealing our elevator7 Open
the door,"
''I'm too busy" said Kane, gayly, as
he pulled the rope and started on ride
towards the roof. Employees of the ho-
tel ran upstairs to intercept Kane, but
just as they got to the top floor he be-
gan to descend.
For half an hour Kane kept the hotel
porters in a perspiration chasing up
and downstairs after him. All the
while he himself was singing gayly, and
once stopped between floors and light
ed his pipe. Finally. with the help OF a
policeman, Kane was caught at the
ground floor.

MAN AND WIFE NEVER SPOKE,
MlssOur1 Couples Quarrel Results in
u Silence for Twelve
Years.

An eccentric couple was recently
parted by the death of James A. Fauhn
at Campbell, Dunklin county, Mo.
Twelve years ago he and his wife
agreed to part on account of some
trivial misunderstanding, each max
ing their home with one of their chill
dren. Eight months after their sep
aration their children brought about a
reunion between them, which, while it
did not adjust the old differences that
existed between Them, yet brought
them together again under the same
roof, where they lived until the hus-
bands death last week.
They lived peculiar life after the
reunion, however. Both being of a
stubborn disposition, they refused to
speak to each other. They occupied
chairs at the same table, but never a
word passed between them. All at
tempts of their offspring to bring about
reconciliation were of no avail. Mr..
Fauhn was "a years old at his death
and his wife is 70.

ESCAPES FROM GREAT PERIL,
North Shore Fisherman Suffers Ter

Small Boat.

Andrew Tofte, a north shore fisher
man of Tofte, Lake county, Minn., has
just survived an experience of almost
Incredible hardship and peril. He went

work about his nets when northwest
gale suddenly arose and blew his boat
to the eastward. The tug Dowlinr

miles from shore the sea was so high
that her master, Capt. Taylor, turned
back. 1t took the tug two hours to
reach the shore.

six hours later he returned, coatless
and hatless, drenched to the skin and
benumbed with cold after two DAYS
and nightwithout food. He could not
get out of the boat without assistance
when he reached the shore and was
carried in fainting condition to his
home. Totes boat drifted 35 miles to
the east across the track Of vessels,

a CANAL TO LONDON !.
Capitalists Plan Deep Waterway
FROM Southampton to London.
American Money VIII Aid I'm Accom-
Dhahing Huge Engineering Task :
~ S5gso Would BE Of Inmense
O. W q e Advantage. - N

The latest engineering project on
foot in England is said to be the con-
struction of a ship canal from South
ampton to London. The surmise as to
the far-reaching consequences such a
step would entail is scarcely less inter-
esting than the fact that, if it is ac-
complished, it is likely to be through
the e.instrumentality of American cap
.ital
No word of the new scheme has yet
been mentioned in the papers, and few
people know of its existence. Never
the less, the route from Southampton
to London has been carefully surveyed
by competent engineers, who declare
the canal is not only feasible, but that
it could be built at comparatively
small expense.
The whole matter has just been put
in the hands of the same firm of con-
tractors which Is handlin Mr.. Charles
I. Yerkes' new London railroad, al
though the Chicago promoter himself
is not known to be taking an active part
in it at present.
The opposition encountered by the
promoters of the Manchester and Liv-
erpool ship canal, in parliament and
elsewhere, would probably look small
beside the jealous efforts of other cities
in the same direction in this case.
What commercial revolutions will en-
sue from ship canal enabling trans
Atlantic and other liners to land their
passengers in the heart of London
many hours earlier than by any other
route can easily be judged.

ANCIENT COIN IN KLONDIKE
Discovery of Strange Token In Rir
SkoOkum Gulch Indica tes Presence
of PrehistOric Race,

. II. Z. Kirk. newspaper man and miner.
who has just returned from Dawson.
tells of the finding of coin in the Klon-
dixie which would seem toestab.ish the
existence there of an unknown race
centuries ago. f.
During the month of August last
he says, "a miner named Nick Odet.
who was prospecting mining claim on
Big Skookum gulch, discovered on bed
rock a peculiar coin, evidently of an
cient make, that is taken by MANY as
proof, or at least suggestion, that a
race of people inhabited the Klondike
region soon after the disappearance of
the great ice fields that are known to
have once occupied it.
THE design is intricate, showing pe-
culiar figures, evidently oriental.

was gold, and who photographed It and

ZEPPELIN IS CONFIDENT.


Count Won Zeppelin is satisfied with
the performance Of his afr ship, says
q New York Herald cablegram from
Friedrichshafen. He y says it Il has.
been proved that itaswasl absolutely
under the control Of the steering ap-
paratus. This apparatus however,
was not in most perfect order on the
first ascent. One of the two rudders
below the machine, at the stern,
would not work freely. Thus, instead
of moving parallel with each other,
the rudders frequently formed an
angle. This defect. hampered Count
Won Zeppelin, very. much indeed. !.
r Opinion in general is somewhat nm
settled. - '.'s . & & -. =. a,'ss..''ttt 1a
The decisive trial has not yet been
made, for the machine is still in the
experimental STAGE. though an un-
doubted step toward the achievement
of aerial flight has been made. A
former nautical engineer of Geneva
who is watching the trials, Liven-
taal by name, expressed himself as
being dubious of the machines ulti-
mate success s's. .
'The prime condition of navigable
air ship, he said ''is that it must be
able to 60 to windward. This was not
done in the present trial; at any rate,
not conc1usively, nor do I, think it
can be DONE"
The technical observations noted
during the trial trip and other in
structive details will not be avail
able for several days yet, and until
they are known it is impossible to
do more than register Count Won
