Sale.

Many person has let summer after sum-

neglected to take trip to Taylors' Falls.
Nature is doing remarkable things in the
gorge of the St. Croix river at that point.
Evidences of her mighty work are the par

thousands, for all j ourna excursions are
limited, but to as many as come before the
limit of comfort Is reached.

anyone who has visited the St. Croix, nor
will any other picturesque continental scene.
Absolute quiet and perfect wildness are the
natural settings. The old MAS Head, the
Devils Kitchen and the deep pot holes which
the river is industriously grinding out as 1t
has been doing for centuries, are twice told
tales to travellers from other states, and after
Tuesday no excuse; from reader of T h c

THEY WOULD TRADE HERE
Western Canadian Merchants Can
vassed as to Attitude To-
ward Minneapolis.

Many retail merchants in western Canada
would like to buy goods of twin city whole
salers. This is brought out clearly In the
harvest annual" edition of the Commercial
Bulletin and Northwest Trade. Three hundred
retail merchants in the western provinces
have been asked to state their attitude on
reciprocity with the United States and If
they desire to buy goods in the twin cities.
OF this number 1876 replied. One hundred and
eight expressed desire to trade with twin
city wholesalers. The remainder took the
view that Canadian merchants should give
oil of their support to the Dominion's in
dustries.
E. j. Hill of Lethbridge, Alberta, is one of
the merchants who believe that reciprocal
trade relations with the United States is
necessary to the prosperity of the western
provinces. Owen H. Bott, druggist Of CAL
gary, formerly lived and did business in
England He takes the opposite view. He
says there is a growing sentiment for freer
trade relations among the different members
of the British empire.
I The Canadian retailers are taking deep
interest in the question, as the large number
of replies indicates. =
Edtorially the Bulletin and. Trade says
that "a big fall trade is already assured in
the northwestern states. Its advices indicate
that the northwest has raised a fair crop
of wheat, the biggest barley and oats crop
| This in. addition to other resources will give
the states Of Minnesota. Iowa, Western Wis
consin, the Dakotas, Montana and Eastern
Washington good buying power
| The Bulletin and Trades harvest annua
number, is the best one yet turned out. Il
contains a large amount of interesting sin
formation and is attractive in every respect.

CARLSON KILLED HIMSELF
Coroner Williams Opinion of the
Case Brought to Light
.. ''>-., Yesterday. .q<....,., 49,

Despite evidence to the contrary, Coro-
ner Williams does not believe that Carl
Gottfried Carlson, the man. whose body
was found floating in the river yesterday,
was murdered. It has been learned that
Carlson was at the central police station
for lodging last Sunday and that he was
dernented. 1t is believed that he COM
mitfed suicide by jumping into the river.
Carlson was. turned over, to the police
by Great Northern trainnnen with whom
he travelled from Seat He showed u1-
mistakable signs Of insanity and when
near Ka1ispel, Mont, Jumped from the
train while it was running at full speed,
but miraculously escaped injury He told
the trainmen that. he was being chased
by some girls. --... i ...~.-s So :.
! When Carlson left the central station
last Monday morning he left his satche1
there but did not return for It. The Off
GERS kept it, thinking that he had prob
ably found work and would return later
and claim 1t. Sergeant James McElligot
positively Identified the remains as those
Of the unfortunate emigrant.
The post-mortem performed yesterday
afternoon showed that the cuts on the
head were received after death and that
the skull was not fractured. The man
had evidently met death by drowning, but
Of course it will never be known whether
he fell into the river or committed suicide

by a hole, while Chandler finished just 2
up on Raymond Russell of Detroit.
It was Egan's luck that won Walters
match Encouraged by his defeat Of
National Champion James Thursday, and
with a big gallery Of supporters applaud
ing almost every shot OF his, young
Brown was full of confidence, and while
his golf was not of the championship
brand, it was good enough to hold Walter
even until the Chicago boy took his last
in the home green and ran down a sixty
foot putt to win the match.
Chandler Egan had to put up his best
quality of golf to hold his Detroit oppo-
nent. Until the two decisive holes were
reached. young Russell played brilliantly.
It was truly a nerve -racking contest, with

Bert Davis, Once Press Agent Of

OF all the comfortless persons in town

of his life on the road and for six years
was press agent for the Wallace circus,
whose two trains were wrecked at sDurand,

Thorp in the business six or seven years
ago and he has been with the Wallace
show ever since, except when he left the
show twice because he and Wallace dis

t.He had his own system of doing things,
did Thorp, and that's what killed him.
Ordinarily when a circus train is running
in two sections they run an hour apart.
The first section gets Into town, unloaded
and out Of the way before the second one

"But, that wasn't Thorpe's way. He al

IN A FINE DILEMMA.
Peculiar Labor Implications Delay
Work on the Reform Jewish
Synagogue.
Union Men Won't Work There Even
After Non Unionists
7 Are Thru.
According to the understanding Of the

According to the und erstanding of the
building committee Of the Reform Jewish
congregat ton, a. structure which has once
been worked upon by non-union man is
to be forever avoided by union men.
Hence arises a fine dilemma. When it
became necessary to replace the synagogue
which burned, contracts for building,
plumbing and electric wiring We're let to
three different firms. The builder and
plumber used union men. But when the
time came for wiring the electrical work
ers' strike had INTERVIEWED and non-un1on
men were sent to equip the structure with
wires.
IF those non union men working for the
electric contractor come to work on this
job, we will walk out and we won't come
back" said one of the union men working
for the building firm. The non-unfon cleo
tricians began wiring the synagogue early
last week and all the carpenters, stone
masons and other union men about the
building promptly walked, out and have
stayed out. = '#<h
Word was sent to the temple committee
that altho the union men returned to work
on the federal building after the nom union
electricians had finished their pob, a rule
had since been made by the unions which
forbade their members to return to work
on job where non union work had once
been DONE
Alarmed at the situation, the temple
committee has called upon the electrical
contractor and offered him conf table
cash bonus If he would take his men out
Of the synagogue. II have the contract
for wiring that building and i am going to
fill IT. was the substance Of the reply,
and his men are still at work wiring the
building H's 80 III n.<'z -
There is no time limit to our contract,
says the building contract, and we car
wait as long as anybody. Besides, it ISM
! our fault We had nothing to do with let
ting the wiring contract and Wethave usec
union labor. It is up to the temple com
mittee." s> ~
1--WE have done all we can to settle the
difficulty" said Isaac We'll, Of the temple
committee. IF the building was for our
selves alone, we wouldn't care SO much
But it is trust placed upon us and the
congregation expects to get into tina
building by Sept. 1. We have done al
we could, and guess the building con-
| tractors will have to hire nom union ner

He Has Brought Out Something That VIII
Clean Bath Tubs.
Since white enamel bath tubs, sinks,
and lavatories became so popular, the
average housewife has been put to her
wits end in keeping them as immaculate
as they should be. Gritty preparations
destroy the face Of the enamel and it Is
apt to disintegrate. Kerosene has been
used to cut the grimy deposits which are
bound to gather on enamel, but this is
offensive, and it has not been uncommon
for distressed housewives to call in
plumbers in their sore straits to restore
the enamel devices to their pristine clean
lness. Here Is where our popular plumb
er, Mr.. Sykes brain got very busy, and
as a result he has concocted an entirely
harmless looking white powder, which is
neither soapy nor gritty, but before it all
deposits on enamel fade away like SHOWS
before a MONDAY sun. It was entirely
natural that Mr.. Sykes should christen
his invention "Cleanamel," word which
tells the whole story. The properties
Of the compound are quite as ef-
fective as the name itself, and
the compound Is literally filling q long
felt want" In addition to keeping the
surface Of the enamel beautifully clean, a
boiling solution Of "Cleanamep' will clear
waste pipes which are clogged by greasy
| deposits, so that in making his invention
| Mr.. Sykes has shown himself to be not
only the housewives friend, but pro-
moter Of her savings bank account as
we'll. This can be obtained at the leading
grocers.

GROVER AN IMPOSSIBILITY
Senator Jones at Lake Minnetonka
Discusses Democratic Timber.

Former Senator ]. K. Jones Of Arkan
sas is at Lake Minnetonka, visiting his
daughter, Mrs. b. W. Plant. Senator
Jones is chairman Of the democratic ma.
tional committee, and a firm adherent Of
w. J.. Bryan. . Discussing possible nom
inees for next year, he. says Grover
Cleveland is an impossibility. Having
bolted the ticket in 1896 and 1900, he
could not get the loyal support Of the
six and a half millions who stood by
Bryan. While Senator Jones does not
consider Mr.. Bryan as a dictator, he is
the natural spokesman for large portion
Of the faithful, and a candidate not ia
vored by him cannot be nominated.
Senator Jones does not declare himself
positively for any of the men being men
toned, but considers several available.
Among them are Senator German, David
B. Hill, Judge Parker Edwin M. Shop
ard and William R. Hearst, all Of whom
have been loyal to the ticket. "
The national chairman does not think
silver will have any bearing on the next
campaign. The increased production OF
gold has brought prosperity, he says
and indicated the democratic position.
The tariff will be a live ISSUE.

SchWab's Failure.

When Charles M. Schwab was made
general manager Of the steel trust with
a salary higher than had ever been heard
Of before, it was natural that he should
attract the attention Of the entire world:
He had done what no other man had ever
accomplished and in doing it he had an
tagonized naturally, a great many men
who could not do as he had. A man who
does big things must risk big failures,
and Schwab failed. Whether he was in
capable of doing what was expected OF
him, or whether he could not satisfy the
numerous interests centered in his office
matters not, he failed. A man who would
win must take such risks and If he keeps
his health in perfect condition by a reg
ular use of golden grain belt beer his
chance Of winning are greatly increased.
