Cigars on Olney.

The cigars will be on J. J.. o.
ney, the well known travelling
man, when he returns from his
eastern,trip. MIR. Olneylast week
brought up a fine large muskal-
longe which he had caught. at
Cass Lake. The fish weighed
twenty-four pounds and Mr.. Oh
ney announced without a tremor
that it was the largest one he had
ever caught. Now comes the
Cass Lake Voice with a story to
the effect that while Mr.. Olney
was a member of the party who
caught the fish he did not actual
ly take it himself but admired it
so much that it was sold to him
at a reasonable figure.

BIG INDIAN DAY
Major Scott Pays Annuities to
the Cass Lake Red Men
Tomorrow.

Tomorrow will be big day for
the Cass Lake Indians, when
Major Scott, the government
agent, will disburse the govern
ment annuities among the In
dams on the Cass Lake reserva-
ton. The Cass Lake payment is
one Of the largest which the gov
eminent makes in the state and
it is always a gala occasion. The
Indians have been in the ha bit of
spending much Of their money
for liquor heretofore, but the
government agents will be
especially vigil;ant this year and
there will be small opportunity
for the bootleggers to get in
their work. The Indians will
spend most Of their money at
Cass Lake and while it lasts the
Cass Lake business public will
have a thriving trade.

Great Movement of Farm
Lands of Northwest EYi-
IDENTIFY Done.
INQUIRIES OF LOCAL OFFICES
ARE NUMEROUS.
Interest of Northwest Diverted
to Northern Minnesota
Lands.

The great real estate boom OF
the past two years which was
without a parallel in the history
of the Northwestis evidently off
and while thousands of speculat-
Ors find themselves with large
punches of Canadian and North
Dakota lands on hand with no
prospect Of any easy market In
the near future there is no notice
able change in the condition of
the local market. TO be sure it
is not as brisk at present as 1T
was some time ago, but the indi-
cations are that it will pick up
shortly.
Every real estate office in the
city has a large mum Der OF IN
uniries about lands IN this sec
tion of the country and partic,
ularly about those that may still
be homesteaded. They come
from all sections of the United
States and Indicate a healthy
interest in the future Of this sec
ton of Northern Minnesota A
well known real estate man said
this morning that while it was
dull at present he believed that
next year would be one OF the
busiest seasons for land men
that has ever been had in this
country. There is a noticeable
diversion of the attention of the
land seeking public from the
prairie lands of the Northwest to
the timber lands of Northern
Minnesota and it is being stimu-
lated by the unfavorable falls
weather which has prevailed in
the extreme Northwest and has
caused great damage and incon-
Venience IN threshlng and har-
vesting the wheat and flax crops.
The opening Of the hunting
season will bring a large mum Der
of land seekers to this section.
They will combine business with
pleasure and while hunting will
also attempt to locate claims and
desirable property. This section
of Minnesota is never better aG-
vertised than during the hunting
season and with favorable
weather there is no time Of the
year when it can be seen to much
better advantage.

Somebody Has 1t In For Jim.

just what's the matter nobody
knows but somebody living near
the line of the Great Northern
evidently has it in for the road.
Yesterday a large strip of track
was found oiled about a mile
west Of the city station. The
oil was placed where the heavy
trains make their start going
west with the evident intention
of causing annoyance. Several
things of this sort have recently
occurred and the company's
special agents will investigate.

Tete Wagon of Kirk & Smith
Robbed North of Town
Last Night.
FARMER SECURES WINTER SUP.
PLY OF GROCERIES.
Tote Wagon Froke Down and
Was Left in the Moods
Over Night.

John Kirk, who has been driy-
ing a tote wagon for Kirk &
Smith, who are about to open
camp about nine miles north of
this city next Monday, is looking
for the man who robbed his tote
wagon last night after it had
|ibroken down and was left in the
road and secured enough grocer
les to last an ordinary family all
winter.
Kirk started from this city for
camp last night with load of
supplies and about six miles
north of Bemidj j one Of the axles
ION the wagon broke down and he
was compelled to leave the load
over night in the woods. 1t CON
sisted of three barrels of mince-
meat, a barrel Of vinegar, 500
pounds of raisins, several cases
of ham, weighing in the neigh
borh0od of 300 pounGs and a bar
rel Of lard, besides other pack
ages OF groceries in smaller
bundles. This morning whenhe
returned to the wagon the load
had disappeared. At one side of
the road were. tracks where an
other wagon had driven up and
taken the load on. The tracks
were followed to a farm house,
but none of sthe goods could be
found. The barred of vinegar
was found floating out in the lake
and a boat was taken out to
bring it in. The other stuff has
disappeared entirely. Mr.. Kirk
was in the city at noon for an
other Load Of supplies. Farmers
living in that vici lity are accused
|of the theft and it will lie
thoroughly investigated.

Wheat Rush is On.

The shipments Of North Da-
kota wheat to the markets at the
head of the lake have begun in
earnest and the Cass Lake divi-
sion Of the Great Northern is
buster than ever just at present.
The terminal yards at Carman
are frequently blockaded and
have recently occasioned trouble.
The Great Northern's line from
Grand Forks to Duluth probably
handles more wheat than any line
of railroad in the world.

WAGES UP
More Men Hired for the Moods in
Bemidji Than in Any City
Outside Duluth.

Men for work in the woods
have been quite plentiful for the
last few days. The falls work
in North Dakota is about con-
Guided and many Of them are re-
turning. It is not estimated
that as many men will be hired
in Bemidji this year for the
woods as next, but still a large
number will secure employment
here. The wages are, higher at
present than they will be in the
future. The contractors are Of
fering from S26 to $50 per month
for sawyers and swampers and
when the men stay through the
season there is an arrangement
whereby they get a trife more.
Tt is estimated that outside Of
Duluth more men are hired for
labor in the woods in Bemidji
than any town in the state. No
less than 80, 600 men were hired
out of this city at various times
last fall and while the number
will not be so large this wear it
will be- considerably above 10000.

T. r. Luke writes from the National
Liberal club:
II dispatched a postcard from this
club on May last, and after travelling
round the world, it reached me here
again yesterday (2Sth inst) in excellent
condition. The wnole trip took the
post card eighty-seven days, but l did
not send it by the direct route. l ad-
dressed it to a friend in Memphis,
Tenn, U. S. A., where it arrived on
May 16; It left there for Sydney at
once, and bears the postmark of Sgd
ney, p. M, on cune %. 1t was on its
way to England next day, as l find it
stamped Sydney again at noon on June
%, and reached me on July g."
Mr.. Luke does not suggest that this
is as quick as the pOstotfice could
transmit it-as it must have made a
considerable detJur while in America,
but he thinks it speaks we'll for rapid
transit and the card is no more dam
aged than if it had merely been sent
from London to Margate.-WeStmin

NUT WORTHY OF HER
Boys Whose Only Purpose in Life Seems
to Break Their Mothers
Heart,

Lansing, Mich, 22.-Mrs. Tanto, a
miGdle-aged German woman, who takes
care Of a farm and large family
south of town, has appeared at the pO-
lice station several times lately and
with humility asked permission to see
her son who is awaiting trial on a Sc
rious charge Mrs. Tanto was: often
seen here while her son, August, was
serving sentence in Jackson prison for
murder. Her lawyer worked hard to
obtain pardon for him and succeeded
.after the murderer had served four
teen years.
But barely had this son been re-
stored to the farm to aid his mother,
whOhad striven hard to clear the place
from debt, when Henry Tanto, another
son, was arrested for an alleged as
sault upon young girl. He has just
been held to the circuit court for this
offenSe, and was unable to give bail.
SO again the carewOrn woman has
been making her trips to the city,
again anxious to do what she can in
behalf of an erring son.

Arctic Railway.

The most northerly railway In the
world was opened a few weeks ago.
For its whole length it lies within the
arctic regions. The greater part of it
1S in Swedish territory, and only a
small part cuts through the narroWest
portion of Norway until 1T reaches the
Norwegian harbor of Narvik. The
chief object of the line, which now
connects the northern Baltic with the
Atlantic, is to open up the rich mineral
resources of north Sweden and to car
ry them cheaply to Narvik.
The new railway, which will be
known as the Ototen line, is about 40
miles long, and cost about 100000.
That part of it which cuts through
Norway is about twenty-five miles long
and cost over $2,5OG,0OO The Norwe-
gian section of this arctic railway runs
through territory altogether uninhab-
ited, and is one of the most difficult
pieces of railway engineering in the
world. In this short distance there
are sixteen tunnels, the longest of
which is about 2,100 feet-Chicago

PINE TREES FOR SAND HILLS
Secretary Wilson Says They Will Build
Up Forests Where Now Are
Waste Places.

Omaha, Neb., Sept. 22.-Secretary Of
Agriculture Wilson spent day in
Omaha, returning from the irrigation
convention. While in Nebraska he
has investigated the results obtained
in planting and raising pine trees in
the sand hill districts of the state. He
says eighty acres Of fine young timber
of this class is now growing on the
very worst of the sand hills and there
is no doubt that the means of making
forests Of these waste places has been
found.
He considers this Of the utmost i'm
portance in connection with the prob
lem of irrigation as means Of con-
serl ing the moisture and preventing
foods. He said there was no doubt
that the cutting of the forests at the
headwaters Of the Ohio and it's tribu-
taries was responsible largely for the
floods in that stream.

WOMEN BETRAY A MURDER
What Was Supposed an Accident Proves
to Have Been
Crime.


Terre Haute, Ind, Sept. 22.-Tnree
women told the police Of the murder
of Linn Woodall who was supposed
to have accidentally been killed by
the cars at Linton, Ird., several weeks
ago. AS a result of their confession,
forced by stricken conscience, Joseph
Fiske is in JAIL accused Of the crime.
The young women are Blanche Clark
Lille Upton and Minnie Meyers. They
say that they were with Fiske, Wood
all, and a third man at Linton on the
day Woodall was killed. A quarrel
started between Fiske and WOodall
and Fiske struck Woodall on the head
with a club, knocking him down.
Fiske warned those who saw the
deed that if they told he would kill
them. He then dragged the body to
a track and laid it across the rails,
where afterwards it was mangled by a
passing train. When the women told
the story the officers for the first time
heard of the murder theory. The wom-
en- said the tragedy had weighed on
their consciences and they agreed to
tell the story.

EDITORIAL NOTES.
Interesting Notes From Our Special
Political Correspondent.

Mayor Low has made graft" a
good English word, according to the
rule which says that "a slang word
encouraged by a cultured writer
becomes thereby a word in good and
regular standing.
In union there is strength---except
when there is q Parks in the union.
Boom times, unprecedented
prosperity, monster crops---and still
those undigested securities continue
to give Mr.. Morgan dyspepsia.
Secretary Wilson is striving to
to make as complete an extermina-
ton of the boil weevil CRATER as Mr..
Bristow is making of the postal graft
er, but with less show Of success.
In 1898 Governor Campbell called
at the White House and asked
President Cleveland for a federal
appointment for one August w.
Machen. "There is a position as
superintendent of free delivery in
the Postoffice department which
pays 50, 800 year., said Mr..
Cleveland, Twill he take that?" HE
will take anything he can get"
replied Governor Campbell, and,
Machen has been for ten years living
up to the governors recommendation
Holmes Conrad and Charles J.
Bonaparte have completed their
report on the Tulloch charges and
handed it in. There are indications
that they support Tulloch although
they exonerate Ex-Postmaster
General Smith from all blame in so
far as personal knowledge of postal
methods is concerned.
Mr.. Carnegie denies the story that
he will purchase Bunnockburn. He
says he has no use for battle fields.
It will be remembered that he offered
to repay to the United States, out of
his own pocket, the $40, 900, 900 paid
Spain for the Philippines in order to
prevent the loss of American soldiers
and the bereavement of American
wives and children as result Of the
effort to subdue the Philippines.
Lieutenant Peary claims that the
North Pole can be discovered for a
quarter of the expense incurred in
defending the America yacht cup.
Secretary Of the Navy Moody has
granted Peary leave of absence in
order that he may make the attempt
once more. In view of the scientific
methods pursued by Peary, it is safe
to expect that the scientific world
will profit from his attempt, even
if he is not successful.
