In speech in5Congress IN 1871 Proctor
Knott said "where is Duluth" In re-
cent interview J. j. Hill said Duluth is
the greatest shipping point in the world.
The past year her shipments were 49,.
100000 tons. The following editorial
appeared in the Duluth Newspaper Tri-
bune of last Wednesday. ....-
"The Minneapolis & St. Louis road
will bring something like 1900 excur-
sionists here on Aug. 10. This is the first
time the Zenith City has been chosen by
this road as the objective point for an
excursion. Duluth's unique charactistics
are attracting constantly widening at
tention. The visitors in this case will
come from South Oak. and Southern
Minnesota. They are, for the most part,
the wealthy tillers of fertile farm lands.
With the tremendous agricultural posi-
bilities of the Bread and Butter state
they are becoming more and more fa-
miliar by close, practical study and ex-
pertinent. For their inspection Duluth
will offer much Of travel interest. For
their comfort, cool breezes off Superior
will mark change of summer weather.
They will note the gigantic commercial
possibilities of this city. Its big bust
ness concerns, the product of ventures
whose success is now an established fact,
will be an object lesson. They will
look upon shipping facilities which will
at once make clear to them the reason
why Duluth will eclipse Minneapolis as
q grain center. This aspect Of the scity's
sure destiny will appeal ito them with
special force. The greatest lake on earth
and its visible craft will be a sight to
cherish in memory. Their drives taken
here will not be duplicates of those taken
elsewhere The visitors who will come
over the Minneapolis s. St. Louis will be
strangers to Duluth. The Commercial
club will endeavor to provide for their
comfort while here. That, however,
which will make their trip memorable

OLD IDEAS ABOUT GEMS.

Pearls Were Thought to he Dew
drops Caught By the Shell. 7
The Indians called rock crystal an
'unr1pe diamond" and until the begin
ming of the eighteenth century India
was thought to be the only land which
produced that precious stone. It was
not, therefore, until the discovery Of
India that the diamond was known to
us. Yet as far back as 500 B. G. q
"didact1c history" &of precious stones
was written, and in Pliny's time the
supply must have been plentiful, as he
wrote, 'tWe drink out of mass Of
gems, and our drinking vessels are
formed Of emeralds." We are also told
that Nero aided his weak sight by
lspectacles made Of emeralds. -
But is very difficult to determine
whence all the gems came, as discov-
erers took care to leave no record. The
nations who traded in them were
afraid Of their whereabouts being
known, and even the most ancient mer-
chants would not disclose any definite
locale, All sorts Of myths have &C.

DISAPPEARING WRITING.


The WRy0 Big awlmdle Was Succeas-s
fully Worked In Paris.
"a number Of Partisan fnanciers were
recently defrauded Of d very consider
able sum Of money by d swindler who
relied for the success Of his scheme en-
tire1y upon the peculiar properties Of
#iodide Of starch. Posing as man Of
considerable wealth, whose money was
tied up in suchsa manner that he could
not realize without heavy losses and
pretending to have the option Of some
valuable concessions in China, he OBJ
tanned various large amounts Of money
{ In exchange for bills dated to stand
for three months.
= No one for moment suspected that
there was anything Ia the least degree
shady about the man or his transac-
tions, and when he made It public that
he had been successful IN selling his
Chinese concession at q large profit his
creditors felt absolutely certain that
he would meet his bills.
To their immense surprise, however,
/ when they came to look through their
papers to ind the bills they only found
bills with blank spaces IN the places
where the swindler's name should have
been and had actually been. They
clamored round him for an explanation
Of the strange affair, but he denied that
he had ever given any OF them bills and
defed them to sue him for repayment
OF the loans, and the fact that the bills
were devoid Of the swindler's sigma
ture rendered them absolutely worth
less. S
The matter was put into the hands Of
the police, who were able to discover
that in signing the bills the man had
used solution Of iodide Of starch.
which, when first used for writing, ap-
pears much the same as ordinary ink,
but completely disappears in the course
Of a few weeks, and, although traces
OF the chemical may subsequently be
discovered, nothing can make the writ

victims had discovered his method, the
schemer decamped, despite the fact
that the chances Of the police obtain
ing a conviction against him were very
remote indeed. .-' s2@.@

the undersigned County Commissioners

Climate and Crop Bulletin of the Weather
: Bureau.

For the week ending August 4, 1902.
The weather during the week was warm,
though there were no unusually high
temperatures reported, except 100 at
Campbell on the 29th. The weather was
showery, there being only two days in the
week withoutraln somewhere in the state;
the rains on the 1st were general. The
rains came as thunderstorms, with locally
heavy showers which were accompanied
by hail in several places, and high winds
which laid corn and uncut grains fiat to
the ground in many fields but these
affected areas were relatively small. In
southeastern counties some fields are still
so soft that binders are used with difficult
ty. The harvesting Of early barley and
oats has reached the northern boundary,
and sprlng wheat cutting has advanced
northward to the middle of the state.
Whe at still green is said to be filing we'll,
but in some south central portionasi it
seems to have ripened too rapidly. In
southern portions barley harvest is about
finished, and oat and spring wheat cutting
are we'll advanced. Barley and rye are
being stacked, and little thrashing Of
these grains has been done from the shock.
Some fax on low land is not very good,
but the crop generally is good one its
cutting has begun in the Southwest.
Corn continues to do well. The early
Ipotato crops about ripe. The cutting
slof wild grass has been interfered with By
/ the hige water in the meadows. Timothy
seed will soon be ready to save.

The inmates of the poor farm were
treated to genuine sensation last week
when some OF them "got mad'' and left,
scattering stories broadcast that they
we're abused and misused by the overseer:
and his wife. These stories are all dis
proved by the County Commissioners
and the overseer is upheld in his manage
ment. The claim is made by John Drex-
ler that he was made to do work for
which he was physically incapable and
that he was violently treated when he re-
fused. He is one of those who were op-
posed to going to the poor farm and
protested vigorously when the commits
sioner changed the plan of caring for
the INDECENT of the county by establish.
ing the present system and doing away
with the allotment of money. He has
made more or less trouble ever since he
has been charge and the present trouble
seems only to be an aggravate form Of his
old malady and will probably be easily
cured.
