FRAUD ORDER ISSUED.
Result Of Investigation Of tho Column
bia Scientific Academy.

The first fraud order issued by the pres
ent acting assistant attorney general for
the Post Office Department, Edwin w.
Lawrence, was made public today. 1t
was against the Columbia Scientific Acad-
envy Of New York city and its president, r.
f. Robertson.
The first hearing in this case was held
before @. A. G. Christiancy April 81, 1903,
and resulted in an order for further hear
ing. The next hearing was held before c.
H. Robb November o.
Robertson claimed to give to each SUBJ
scriber his personal attention, and in this
did not keep his promise, but left the work
to clerks, the department learning that his
postage bills were $50 day, which fact
precluded the possibility of his ability to
give personal attention to the work, from
its very magnitude.
Inspector Crowell told the department
that at the time he made the investigation
of the concern it had sold 10000 scholar
ships, or courses, at s. each and upward,
and was doing a rushing business.
The courses were: Personal magnetism
and magnetic healing scientific character
of physical culture, the X-ray faculty and
scientific sight and others. One OF the
pamphlets was entitled: How to Live 100
Years and Retain Your Youthful Vigor."
One of the academy's claims for exemp-
ton was based on the fact that 1t guaran-
teed that If persons buying the courses
were not satisfied they were at liberty to
return them within thirty days and receive
their money back. Acting Assistant At
t0rney General Lawrence refers to this In
his opinion and recommends that a fraud
order be issued against the concern and
it's president. He says:
THE statements of Robertson are false
and fraudulent. and the persons to whom
they are made have not the means and are
unable to discover the falsity Of these
statements within the period allowed them
for returning the books and receiving their
money back or at any subsequent period"
The order will go into effect immediately.

NO EXTENSION THIS YEAR.

The present outlook is that there will
be no extension of the Edmore branch
of the Great Northern this year, as the
crew have received orders to
quit business and return to st. Paul
and consequently have given up the
Office which they engaged some time
ago and expected to occupy for about
three months. 1t has looked for some
time as though it was sure go as the
surveyors have been busily engaged in
setting the grade stakes, but now a
sudden turn has been made and bust
ness suspended and in all probability
nothing further will be done this year
This will be quite disappointment
to the people of Hampden as we'll as the
people of Edmore as it was hoped that
the road would go this season.-Ed-

DANIELS.

Considerable breaking is being done
around Daniels this summer and far
mers are banking on bigger acreage
for crop the coming year than ever.
With the present crop prospect Grey
township farmers will be all wealthy

The roads are now nicely dry again
from the effect of the heavy June rains
and by the way in which some of the
boys are sending their drivers over them
you would think they had them in
training for the Calvin races on the
Fourth. By the way, they have quite a
good track at Calvin and the events on
the program for that day are likely to
be something little above the average.
Daniels will be there to have their
share of the fun.

game between Hannah and Wales was
one of excitement from start to finish.

players from Wales when the close of
the ninth inning was reached The
running race, which followed brought
out two horses, the one belonging to J.
Abrams Of Calvin was the winner of
first money and j. Luxtons horse from
Hannah gave the one in front quite a
race for his money. The foot recess and
other sports followed, in which it might
be mentioned that the runner from
Neche was little faster on his feet
than any of the others who entered the
race. The trotters were only two in
number. one owned by E. Johnston and
the other by Pete Dallas and they GER
tainly showed quite burst of speed.
