CITY NEWS
MANY WANT TO ENTER
UNCLE SANS NAVY
Recruiting Office Has Thirty
one Offers and Takes In
twenty-five First Day.

Thirty-one young men applied to
the naval recruiting station in the fed
eral building yesterday for enlistment.
OF this number twenty-five were ac-
cepted. This is very fair average
higher than that of most cities. The
nine other applicants were not rejected
on account OF weak physique, but be-
cause their sight was not sufficiently
keen.
The possibility Of the United States
becoming involved in the Russo-Japa-
nese struggle seems to have had the
effect of increasing the enlistments. 1t
was said yesterday at the recruiting
station that the increase since the war
began was very noticeable. This would
appear to show that the average Amer
lean would rather enlist to fight than to
cruise peaceably around the world.
The recruiting station is in charge of
Lieut. G. Pettingill, who is also in
charge Of the Minneapolis station,
which is being operated simultaneously
with the local station. The recruiting
party includes, besides the lieutenant.
Surgeon ]. c.. Vries, Chief Machinist
Wallace Scott, Chief Yeomen w. V. Joy
and G. w. Masterton, Yeomen F. K.
Herrick and B. A. Backers, and Elec-
is the crack party of the six now on
the road doing the naval recruiting,
averaging between thirty and forty
more enlistments at each station than
the others. This fact, it is said, is due
to the more liberal advertising which
the party does. The patent medicine
aspect of its bill board advertisements
has been often remarked upon as be-
ing an obvious departure from the con-
ventional government advertising.
Electrician Mcintyre, who is practi-
cally In charge of the st. Paul station
during Lieut.. Pettingill's absence, said
yesterday:
THE main idea is to get the men
into the office, and then we do the rest.
The chief trouble in the inability of
the other recruiting parties to get as
many recruits as we do lies in the fact
that their advertisements do not at
tract"
The recruiting party started on it's
itinerary two years ago, and during
that time averaged 475 enlistments
per year. The average enlistment in
cities is twenty-five. Seventy-five
men are expected to enlist from st.

CAME NEAR DYING
From an Awful Skin HumcuP.
Scratched Till Blood Ran.
Wasted to Skeleton.
CURED BY cuTlcURA
One Application Soothed Him to
Sleep. Cure Speedy
and Permanent.

"When my little boy was about three
months old his head broke out with a
rash, which was very itchy and ran con-
siderable Watery fluid. We tried every
thing we could, but he got worse all the
time till 1t spread to his arms, legs, and
then to his entire body, and he got so
bad that he came near dying. The rash
would itch SO that he would scratch till
the blood ran, and thin yellowish stun
would be all over his pillow in the morn
Ing. had to put mittens on his hands
TO keep him from tearing his skin around
his wrists. He got so weak and run
down that he took fainting spells like
we would think him dying. He was al
most a skeleton and his little hands
were thin like claws.
He was bad about eight months
when we tried Cuticurs Remedies. I
had not laid him down in his cradle in
the daytime for long time. He had
got SO that he just slept in our arms all
the time. washed him with Cuticura
Soap and put on one application of
Cuticura Ointment and he was so
soothed that put him in the cradle.
You don't know how glad felt when he
felt better. It took one box of Cuticura
Ointment, pretty near one cake of Cuti-
cura Soap, and about half bottle Of
Cuticura Resolvent, TO cure. I think
our little boy would have died only for
the Cuticura Remedies, and shall al
ways remain firm friend Of them"

ocratic convention to be held at St.
Louis. The chief interest in the meet
Ing Will be the decision in the question
OF holding one or two state conven-
tons. 1t has been suggested by sew
eral men high in the councils of the
party that but one convention which
VIII nave the double duty of naming
delegates to ST. Louis and the nomi-
natlng OF state ticket be held the
principal argument in favor of this
plan being the matter of expense to
the delegates incident to attending two
conventions This proposition is COM
batted by many leading Democrats. who
argue that the early date on which
the delegate convention must necessar-
lily be held will not give sufficient time
TO the Democrats to consider the per-
sonnet of the ticket and the issues on
which the campaign is to be fought
out.
1.-The suggestion to name a ticket in
the state campaign at the delegate
convention is not only entirely original
with this year." said a prominent St.
Paul Democrat last night, but / can
not see any merit in 1t. 1t has never
been done In the past and see no rea-
son why it should be done now espe-
cially in view of the bitter fight in the
Republican camp. We are the minority
party in Minnesota and we must plan
our campaign to take advantage of the
mistakes Of the Republican state con-
vention. Their platform must, in the
nature of things, largely determine
what ours shall be, and their candidates
may in measure influence the action
of the Democratic state convention in
selecting its candidates. We must be in
position to seize on every error made
by the Republicans and make the most
of it. and the only way that this can be
done is to defer our convention until
the Republicans have held their nomi-
nations"
Frank T. White, the Elk River law
yer, is a candidate for district delegate
from the Sixth congressional district,
to the Republican national convention.
White made an unsuccessful run for
the nomination against Senator Barker
for the state senate in his district two
years ago, and it Is understood that the
Republican leaders in his senatorial
| district are anxious to get good to
him. Speaker Babcock, Of Wadena,
and John M. Haven, Of Big Lake, have
also been mentioned as delegates. The
convention will be held March 16 at
Little Falls, and there is q disposition
to elect delegates who do not represent
| factions In the different counties. Con-
| gresham Buckman's friends are deter
mined that he shall not be embarrassed
in the naming of men to represent the
| district.

HORSE APPARENTLY
COMMITS SUICIDE
Falls Into a Pit, Breaks Water Pipe
and Is Soon Drowned.

If horses or other animals possess
the sensitive intelligence necessary to
cause q desire to commit suicide, St.
Paul can produce the example that
would seem to prove such theory.
Yesterday, while securely tied, a
horse, the property of John Kauiel, 1876
Hoffman avenue, broke away and start
ed on the career that ended in his
death. For reasons unknown, but with
apparent intent, he boldly entered the
barn at the rear of 116 Bates avenue.
Instead of seeking the safety of the
regulation STALL the animal either chose
to or accidentally fell into a pit. Run
ming through this pit was water pipe,
which was broken when the horse fell
in. Unable or determined not to ex-
trieate himself, he met his fate. as the
pit soon filed with water and drowned
him.

Frank Eddy has got to be reckoned
with by the slatemakers," said a st.
Paul Republican who has just returned
from a trip through the northwestern
part of the state to a reporter yester-
day. Il had thought from the attitude
of the Dunn and Collins managers in
out Of the race for governor, but have
found out my error. Eddy will come to
the state convention with not only his
own county, but he will have votes in
Swift, Stevens and Kandiyohi counties,
and he will go up into the Ninth dis

from that rural region as we'll. In the

Anarchy i'm Colorado.

IS Union miners from the
Cripple Creek mining district of
Colorado were loaded on the cars
at Victor and taken to Denver
June 10 from which place they
viii be taken to the state border
of Kansas and released, never to
appear in the state OF Colorado
again under penalty of death.
Adlutant General Bell has declar-
ed that the miners union OF Col
crado must die. Heart-rending
scenes were enacted when the
wives, children, and sweethearts
of the departed miners appeared
atthe depot to bid them goodbye.
The miners were marched be-
tween two heavy lines OF deptties
and militia. Wives, mothers and
sweethearts tried to push through
the lines for a parting handshake
but were forced back.
The men sent away are princl-
pally strike leaders and agitators
travelling in the interest of the
Unions. Kansas officials are max
ing buried preparations to meet
the new difficulty as they deem it
an imposition to have the unde-
sirable citizens of Colorado dump
ed within the borders of Kansas.
It is not known what will be the
outcome of this latest move on
the part of the state authorities.
It will probably be the means of
reaching the test case and in the
event that such a course would
not succeed, arbitration as in the
case of the Pennsylvania coal
strike, will be employed. There
is no settlement in sight at the
present time, however, riot fol-
lows riot and anarchy and chaos
reign supreme.

Advertise Our County.

EDITOR GAzETTE:-Now that
the smoke has cleared away and
we have donned our plumes or
rubbed our bruises, it seems time
to get back to fair" business.
We have an unusual chance
now to advertise Benton county.
The State Fair in September is
followed by the National Grange
in Portland in November and the
Lewis and Clark Fair next year.
The importance is increased by
the fact that other counties are
not neglecting this opportunity.
If we do not exhibit our resources
now, we might as we'll say we
have none. We propose to make
this not only an advertisement of
the county but of each locality
and person who sends an exhibit.
A little help in samples from each
is all we need but we need that.
Any questions gladly answered.

Mrs. Etzel and Miss Anna

Acting Secretary of State at

po,tation of the body to this

the placing on the board of re-.
gents men whose entire sympa-
thies and interests are with the
design and original intent of the
institution and whose practical
knowledge fits them for such
duties. They recommend also
that woman be added to the
staff of institute workers, to the
end that more interest may be
aroused In the department of
household science, as they find
that out of 166 young ladies only
90 are taking this most important
course.
There is but one farmer regent
on the board at present and he is
an exclusive apple raiser, but all
the thirteen members of the
board are politicians. This is
also true of nearly all other state
educational institutions. These
institutions have been made to
contribute to the political pull of
individuals who do not represent
the agricultural class. Not that
these men are unfit in that sense
of the word but a capitalist or
public official who owns farms
and herds only as a side liner and
not as a permanent occupation
can hardly be called a representa-
tive of the great agricultural
class for whom the college was
intended.

he could not remember anything
more. Then the agent led him
out and showed him that it was
an advertisement of somebody's
liver pills.
This story carries its natural
moral. When the first ADVERTISE
ment was painted on wall for
those to read who never read
a newspaper, it doubtless did al
tract attention. But when a
dozen brass bands are footing at
a time it would puzzle an expert
to tell what time any of them are
playing. In passing along the
street the brain can take in only
a certain number of impressions,
and instinctively rejects those not
of an immediate interest.
In reading a newspaper the at
tention of the reader is given to
the space before him for several
minutes, perhaps for half an hour.
He sees things he would not see
in an instant survey. If he hap
pens to want some particular kind
of goods, he cannot go out on the
street and scan the building for
the sign of the dealer; he looks
in the paper or in the directory.
Anyone who wishes to test the
comparative value of the street
sign and the newspaper need on
ly try the experiment described
in the story. The chances are
that he cannot tell the names OF
there of the numerous firms whose
goods have been advertised on
walls and fences between his
home and his place of business.

Now that the Panama canal
has been bought and paid for, it
looks as if the work of complet-
ing it might proceed at once.
But the part that has been accom-
plished seems to have been very
Slight, compared to the simple
operation of digging out the dirt.
Who is to do it? Fifty thousand
laborers will be required, and
there is work for ten years. Ja-
maica negroes have been tried
and found wanting and the ia
maica government does not want
them to go. There are serious
objections to Chinese laborers
enough to render them an impos-
sible factor. But two sources of
supply seems open. Our own
negroes, who would be as i'm
1nune from the natural disease
of the country as the Jamaicans,
and the surplus population OF
over-crowded Porto Rico. In
either case it would be a benefit
to our people while men cannot
labor to any advantage on the
Isth1nus. Will the man and

STORY WITH A MORAL.
Ways and Ways of Advertising
Ones business.

There was once an advertising
agent who called on a business
man to prove to him that adver-
'tising in newspaper was more
effective than advertising on
boards. The business man was
skeptical on this point. He had
been in the habit of distributing
his business signs all over the
face of the landscape, and he re-
garded this sort of exaggerated
tattooing no less wise than pic
turesque, as perhaps it was. His
idea of the picturesque differs
from that of a Barbizon school of
painting.
The agent said, 81 will prove to
you that sign painted on a dead
wall is of very little practical
value"
The business man said, eff you
can l will advertise in your pa
per-"
The agent made out his con-
tract. Then he said, "There is
an advertisement seven by four,
painted in large letters on the wall
of a seven-story building which
you pass on your way to your Of
fee every morning. Can you tell
me what it is?"
The business man racked his
memory in vain. He could re-
member that there was a sign
there, in white letters on a blue
ground, but though he had seen
it every morning for many years,

Farmers and 0. A. G.

Inasinuch as the board of re.
gents OF the O. A. G. meets in
the near future to transact busi-
ness, there is beginning to be
some agitation as to the compost
ton Of that body and the quail
fcations of applicants to fill the

question whether the institution
might not be made more of a

were taking the Agricultural
course. The committee favor
