Emmett Smith arrived Thursday
with his bride, Miss Viola Askin, from
Vanceboro. They will make their

by A. G. Cox Mfg Co.
1t is nothing unusual to hear man
remark that A. G. cox MFG CO.'S
prices on wire fence are away down
below any others he has been able to
get, and when you do strike one who
has bought some elsewhere at a higher
price, he feels like kicking himself be-
cause he was not better posted. The
truth OF the matter is they have been
using every effort to let all know lar
and near of the excellent bargains they
are offering. The way the fence Is
leaving is sufficient proof of their sue
cess.

shall be the same as the trade value.

TEACHERS NEEDED HERE
There Is No Rush for Examinations
for Phi1innine Places

The active demand for school teachers
thruout the northwest probably explains
why very few candidates will appear at
the federal examinations in ST. Paul, for
prospective teachers in the Philippine Is
lands. One of these examinations, under
the auspices of the United States civil
service commission, was to have been
held June 20 and 80. No applicants were
present, however, and the examination
was postponed to July % and 3d. Up to
last night two applications only had been
received. None will be accepted after to-
day.
The Philippine teachers enjoy two long
sea voyages and the instructive novelty
OF seeing much not only in the archipel-
ago but In Hawaii, Japan and China The
proportion of living expenses to salary is
probably smaller in the Philippines than
in the country districts of this state The
pedagogic travellers receive from 5000 to
$1,000 year. The cost of living at Ma
Mia is from $40 to $50 a month; outside
of Manila, the cost is $50 to $40. There
are now $50 teachers in the Philippine
service, who are promoted on the basis OF
merit, from the lowest to the highest
ranks.

AIR LINE TO SMELLING
Hiawatha Avenue Suggested as the
Most Direct Route to Fort.

Hiawatha avenue is suggested for use
as a direct thorofare between the business
district of Minneapolis and Fort Smelling
Beginning at Cedar avenue just south of
Franklin, it runs as straight as the crow
flies and parallel to the Milwaukee rail-
way tracks to the city limits and the Fort
Smelling reservation. At meeting Of the
special council committee instructed to
consider the matter of better communica-
lions with Fort Smelling, it was decided to
recommend that Hiawatha avenue be
graded and macadamized from Forty sec
ond street to the reservation line
Among those who addressed the meet
ing We're Congressman John Lind, who de-
clared that Minneapolis had been very
derelict in the matter of seeking closer
social and business relations with this i'm
portant military post. He had personally
spoken to several of the officers at the
fort and all expressed approval of the
proposition to open and improve a road
to Minneapolis. If Minneapolis would do
her part there would be no great difficulty
in prevailing upon the government to open
and macadamize a road to connect the
fort with a city road

ACTRESS ASKS RELEASE
Mrs. George Hart Says DR.. Hart, Flu.
gitive, Already Had One
Wife.

Mrs. George L. Hart nee Leichman, the
innocent beauty" of vaudeville fame who
recently took part in a meteoric marriage
act with a chloroform sequel is now intent
upon having her marriage contract an
nulled. Local authorities can offer her
nothing more helpful than sympathy and
advice.
Miss Mabel 'Ieichman, as the young
lady signed her name to a letter written
at Chicago and addressed to the authori-
ties here became enamored Of DR.. Hart
avowedly from Portland Ore. The cere-
rony was duly performed at the court
house June Is last. Three days later DR..
Hart was fugitive having made, it was
said, an unsuccessful attempt to chloro-
form his young wife.
The lady is playing in one Of the Chi
cago theaters. She writes to ask the
proper authorities here to annul her mar
riage with DR.. Hart, declaring that the
doctor was married previously to her mar
riage to him and that he has a wife now
living other than herself.
Word has been sent that nothing can be
done here, but that upon the showing,
which she says she can make, proceedings
properly begun in court will undoubtedly
result in the annulment Of the contract.

Ore on University Land Will Swell

Ore deposits on university lands will
bring a great revenue to the permanent
university fund of the state within two

is covered by mineral leases. and State
Auditor Iverson expects to see several
large producing mines on the tract in
short time. The deposits are immense
The university fund will receive a royalty
of Is cents on every ton of ore mined.
This revenue will go into the permanent
fund, which is invested In securities. The
interest helps to pay the running ex-
penses Of the university. The ore lands
will help the university finances materi-
ally. The effect will not be felt for some
time, however.
Meanwhile the university will have to

growing larger every year and Is now very
embarrassing. June salaries have not
been met yet. The June tax settlements
are wiping out the deficit which will all

June collections will be small and the only
large revenue for next year is the October

State and Government vii Cooper
ate in Testing Supplies.

Minnesota is the first state to ioin
with the United States geological survey
in an analysis Of water supplies. The
government survey, the state board of
health and the state university have
Joined hands in an undertaking, which it
is believed will be Of great benefit. Stu
dents OF the university will collect the
samples, and their expenses will be borne
jointly by the government and the state
both of which will secure valuable data.
The laboratory work will be done partly
by the state board and partly at the uni
versity and valuable work will be done
at little cost. Samples will be taken and
analysed from the Mississippi river at
several points.

A DEADLY Peril
Dyspepsia Opens Wide the Gate to
Disease.

Diseases of all kinds attack the sys-

the digestive organs are in perfect condi-

Nutrition is the preservative of life and
health and pure, rich blood, steady nerves,
and unclouded brain depend upon it. Thus
is the stomach the chief factor in main
tanning health and strength and dyspepsia
the demon of disease. Dyspepsia attacks
the citadel Of health and any disease can
enter through the breach. Chase's dys-
pepsia cure is therefore one of the most
important remedies that medical science
has produced because it is the only one
which will positively cure dyspepsia and
Its derivative evils and give relief at once.
