FORTUNE WITHIN y YEAR.


John P. Morrow, the attorney, has
within the past year Or two acqdir-
ed wealth. It is said that he could
draw his check for a quarter of a
million, and he has interests in
iron lands of prospective value.
Mr.. Morrow is one of the men who
have more recently taken up ore
lands as a leading branch of bust
ness, and he is one of the very sue
.cesful: He pulled out more than
100000 in the sale Of the Elizabeth
lease, which deal he engineered.
. Archie NJ. Chisholm has been
one of the indefatigible hustlers
for wealth in Mesaba,- ores, and Of
late years he was accumulated con-
siderable money. His experience
is quite a romance. Mr.. Chisholm
was formerly bookkeeper for Joseph
Sellwood, and it is said that he was
a good one. He figured that he
would never get rich on $50 IA month
and invested his earnings, together
with other money he had in explor-
ing for ore on the Vermill ion range.
He was unfortunate IN his venture
and before he was well aware Of ii
was in debt several thousand dol

"a the Range

B. "A prominent Duluth mining man
estimates that Duluth people have,
during the past three years. acquir-
ed from $5O GOO to S. 200 from
the sale. Of iron ore leases, commis-
sions, etc. He says that If fees Sof
iron lands which have proved val.
liable are conside rea il will be
found that Duluth people have
profited to the extent of not less
than SIS, 100000 in the three years.
Many of the men who have made
money in iron lands during this
comparatively brief period were al
ready rich as a result of former
deals in ,VermlJion or Mesaba prop
critics, but many have, during the
present boom in iron lands, made
their first money in this manner. .
Duluth probably has more people
with substantial bank accounts in
proportion to the population than
any other city in the country.
Many Duluth men have become
very wealthy in iron range transac,
tons and scores have made consid-
cradle sums. The class who have
made hundreds of thousands are,
of course, wellsknown, but there is
another class who. have made from
few hundreds to perhaps $4,000
who are never heard of.
The word MESA ba" is Chippewa
for giant. People may argue over
the right way to spell the word, but
it will be agreed by all that the
range was we'll named. Since the
timber is now pretty well cut of,
the Mesaba range looks rather DESC
late away from the towns. The
land is thickly studded with stumps
and the bleached faces of rocks
seem to stare inquiringly at the
visitor. But buried under the
stumps aud rocks lies stupendous
wealth of iron ore. Some of the
heaviest stands of pine in the state
were found on the Mesaba range
over the more extensive ore depos-
it's. It would seem almost as If ma
ture had tried to hide the hidden
wealth as long as possible by the
wonderful growth of trees on the
surface.

Mr.. Root proceeded to consider two
Democratic proposals to deal with in
oustral evils. tariff revision and the
coal plank in the New York platforms.
He discussed the tariff question along
the usual lines. On the coal plank he
said:
1T Is a serious thing that a great

lenses involved in the declaration is
that 1t Is unconstitutional
If the principle embodied IN this
proposition, were adopted, the Ameri-

would become but countries and geo.

eminent has power to enter the
state of Pennsylvania and take the

it can take the bituminous coal fields
of Ohio and Illinois. it can take the
grain fields of the West to furnish
food and the cotton fields of the South
to furnish clothing, IL can take the
railroads and ships that transport the
necessary supplies and the mills and

Manila, Oct. 30.-Libel proceedings

Spanish newspaper published in Ma
Mia, on account of the publication Of
an article attacking Gen. j. F. Bell
and his plan of aiding the people of
the provinces of Batangas and Lagu-
ma, Luzon, of the island of Mindoro.
This plan was put into effect after the
cessation of hostilities. 1t consisted of
selling rice and supplying the people
with seeds and farming implements,
and it resulted in profits amounting to
ST. 900 gold, which Gen. Bell transfer
red to the insular treasury.
After this transfer of funds had
been made. Libertas published an
article charging Gen. Bell with an at
tempt to steal this fund and take it
with him to the United States, but
saying that the Philippine Commission
had forced him to surrender the
money. Gen. Davis transmitted to
Gen. Bell officially copy of the Ii
bertas article. Gen. Bell responded by
denying the charges. Gen. Davis
thereupon transmitted the papers to
Gov. Taft, who in turn RENTED them
to the prosecuting attorney. This Of
fetal then instituted the proceedings
against the newspaper.

ITO State Attorney Deneen and his
uncle, Police Inspector Wheeler,

er's declaration a public official at
Springfield sought to blackmail the
clique, threatened exposure and pros

worried him into ending his life. The
second suicide involved in the case was
due, Wheeler says, to fear that the
fugitive (Wheeler) would confess when
he was brought back from Canada"

Washington. Oct. sO.-PouticaI ex-

ton. rs party discipline and party
loyalty sufficiently strong and sincere
to heal the existing dissensions which
threaten the Republican party?"
President Roosevelt is political puz-
zle. In one breath he takes the broad
ground that all men are equally indie
pendent, and have a right to exercise
their individual Judgment in political
matters. In the next breath he declares
that he Has no use for any man who
cares more about the defeat of "a MEM
Der of his own party who belongs to
another faction. than he does for the
defeat of the common enemy--the Dem
ocratS."
The President is very anxious that
the coming election shall result in the
selection of a Republican House of
Representatives. He realizes that with
a Democratic House he will be unable
to carry forward any of the plans of
legislation, with which he desires to
emphasize his leadership and strength
en- his coming campaign for reelection

political friends he does not mince

BRAIN FOOD
To of Little Benefit Unless IL Is Di-
Rested.

Nearly everyone will admit that as
nation we eat too much meat and
too little vegetables and the grains.
For business men, Office men and
clerks, and in fact everyone engaged
in sedentary or indoor occupations,
grains, milk and vegetables are much
more healthful.
Only men engaged in a severe out
door manual labor can live on heavy
meat diet and continue in health.
AS a general rule, meat once a day
is sufficient for all classes of men, wom-
en- and children, and grains, fruit and
vegetables should constitute the bulk
of food eaten.
But many of the most nutritious
foods are difficult of digestion and it
is of no use to advise brain workers
to eat largely of grains and vegetables
where the digestion is too weak to as
similate them properly.
1t Is always best to get the best re-
suits from our food that some simple
and harmless digestive should be taken
after meals to assist the relaxed diges-
tive organs, and several years expert
ence have proven Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets to be very safe, pleasant and
effective digestive and a remedy which
may be taken daily with the best re-
suits
stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets can hard
~ be called a patent medicine, as they
DO not act on the bowels nor any par
ticular organ but only on the food eat
en-. They supply what weak stomachs
lack, pepsin diastase and by stimulat-
ing the gastric glands increase the nat
ural secretion of hydrochloric acid.
People who make daily practice Of
taking one or two of Stuart's Dyspep-
sla Tablets after each meal are sure
to have perfect digestion which means
perfect health.
There is no danger Of forming an in
furious habit as the tablets contain
absolutely nothing but natural diges-
uVes; cocaine. morphine and similar
drugs have no place In stomach med
Iclne and Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
are certainly the best known and most
popular of all stomach remedies.
ASK your druggist for a fifty cent
package of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
ana after a weeks use note the inn
provement in health, appetite and ners
