STILL AT IT.

Notwithstanding the efforts of
Agent Michelet and his police
force, timber trespassers are still
busily engaged stealing timber
from this reservation. During
the week Antoine Charlotte and
Henry Belcourt caught George
and Peter Brunette in the act OF
hauling timber away from the
reservation. and brought them to
this place and put them in Jail.
George Brunette is an old often
der, and has been a steady often
der for ten years. and no lenienc.y
should be shown in his case. 1t
is bad enough for outsiders to
commit trespass on this reserva-
ton but when members lend them
selves to this nefarious business
they should be given the limit. 1t
is reported that q wholesale
slaughter of reservation timber
is going on within The reservation
near Ebro.

THREE-BAGGER WAS RUINED

Queer situations come to pass now and
then in baseball. One Of the aueerest
happened In game between Providence
and Brocton. Tommy Bannon was at the
bat for Brocton and Patsy F'1aherty Of the
same team was on second base. Bannon
cut loose at straight ball, and the next
instant the leather was shrieking in line
flight toward center field. The center
fielder was seen to put up his hands for
the ball, which was going straight at him.
The sun was In the center f1elder's eyes
and he slightly misjudged the ball, which
sailed just over his head. But as he had
his hands all set for the whizzing pellet
some thought he had caught the ball.
Bannon saw that the ball had not been
caught and, with head down, tore around
the bases, kicking up clouds Of dust en-
route. He was reposing on third base by
the time the ball was ielded in.
The captain of the Providence team, as
soon as things had quieted down a bit, ran
UP to- Umpire Hunt. meantime getting
the ball and tagging Bannon, and made
the claim that Bannon was out
sNo, that don't co. exclaimed the UNI
pfre. "Bannon touched all the bases all
right"
The Providence captain reiterated his
contention, and again Hunt declared the
man safe.
But" protested the Providence man,
what is Flaherty doing on second base?''
The umpire looked, and, sure enough,
there was Flaherty still on second base,
and the man who had batted after him a
base ahead of him-an absurd situation
Flaherty had thought the ball was caught
and had stuck to his base, and Bannon,
without noticing him In the excitement,
had run past him. There was nothing for
the umpire to do but call Bannon out

..yyiLLiE.s. COMPOSITION


Little Willie Wilkins had played hooky
from school; he sat on the bank and
fshed-oh! it was warm and nice and
sleepy down there by the brook!
Fl Pretty soon he saw a. snake crawl out
OF Its hole. Now, Willie was like all boys,
and tried to kill every snake he saw. But,
somehow, he didn't feel like hurting this
one; for one thing it had gingham
apron tied around Its waist. ST didn't
know snakes had gingham aprons he
muttered, NOR waists neither. Gee! that's
funny! For he had just noticed that the
snake had a tiny plate of mud cakes in.
her hand.
Eight or ten lizards sat about fiat
stone, and she put mud cake down be-
fore each one. Dear me! How those liz
ards did; beat on the table and shout with
delight as they ate their cakes.
81 Willie was just getting ready to go
down and ask for one himself, when he
heard some one calling. and the snake
and lizards scattered in every direction.
IT was a boy the teacher had sent out
from school to- hunt for him; this was
Friday afternoon and Willie had no COM
position prepared, nor any recitation
ready. wait q minute = he said, as the
boy hurried him along; and he drew out
a stubby pencil and wrote something on
his. tablet.
When he. told the teacher what he had
seen down at the brook she said it was
q dream, but she let him tell the story
to the school, and read the poetry he had
made, instead of composition. And this
is what he read:

EMRALMINe IN GLASS

An Americanized Russian has patented
new process Of emba1ming which consists
In casting solid block Of glass around
the subject to be preserved, thru which
the features and outlines of the body will
be perfectly visible. AS no air can possi-
bly,, enter, the remains are expected to last
indefinitely, till some shock destroys the
crystal block which incases them like so
many flies in amber The inventor hopes
that the relics of great men will be pre-
served In this way, remaining to after
time IN their habit as they lived, with vast
mausoleums in which to place them, en-
trance to which will be deemed an honor
like that OF burial in Westminster or
Santa Croce. The mechanical process by
which all this is to be made possible, and
on which the government has issued a
patent, is quite simple. The remains are
first surrounded with a coating Of sodium
silicate, or water glass, which is allowed
to dry. When the water has been suffici-
entity evaporated, the subject is placed In
q mold which is to determine the size Of
the glass block, and molten glass Is poured

The Other Side.

The other side of war comes brutal
ly and nakedly out in Correspondent
r. A. McKenzie's account of the battle
on the Yalu. This other side is the
side we hear little Of when the diplo-
mats are taking the steps that bring
on the war. Then we hear much Of
the grandeur Of dying for ones coun-
try, and war appeals to the popular
imagination as a great game, the
game Of games. in which the stakes
are greater than in any other game.
Wounds and death for individuals are
then mere insignificant details; neither
do we think much about the woes Of
defeat. We dwell on victory and the
victors and give our thoughts to those
who shall survive. G
But when the battle has been
fought, the glamor departs, and it is
hard to conjure up the glorious side
Of war. Before the bloody spectacle
Of the battlefield impresses itself on
our minds, it Is easy to say that the
war was inevitable, that the questions
involved must be fought out. But af-
forwards, In the presence Of wounds
and suffering, Of human bodies mani
mate and mangled, it seems more
than absurd that men should go to
war with each other in this age. The
course Of empire, the rise and fall Of
dynasties, seem as nothing in the
presence Of the agony Of the dying
man, before torn oorpses heaped up
for the rough, common burial.
Will the reign Of peace ever come ?
For ages men have hoped for q time
of universal and continuous peace
But the savage and the barbarous In
us dies hard, In the veins Of all of us
flows the warlike blood Of countless
generations Of fighting ancestors. So
long as we have national lines and
conflicting national interests war is a
possibility. Not until mankind has
transferred it's patriotism from the
country to the race, not until each
man is a citizen Of the world, will
there be assured peace.
The Minneapolis journal., 1904-05-21
Business Conservatism.

Ever since the year began retrench-
nnent has been the guide word in the
offices of many Of the great corpora
tons employing large numbers Of
men. For months managerial effort
has been directed largely towards the
scaling down Of expense accounts, and
the labor market has felt the effect.
The railroads long ago saw the ne
cessity of adopting more stringent
measures OF economy If net earnings
and dividends were to be maintained
! against lighter tonnage and oonse-
quent smaller gross earnings, and, in
many instances, a higher ratio Of
operating expense relative to volume
of business. g..
The year, opened with general ef-r
fort along this line, which soon
ceased, the roads having reduced
their operating forces as far as con-
ststent with the necessities of the
service. A. short time ago renewal
of this effort towards greater economy
began, and this week the tendency was
accentuated. The great systems are
again found reducing the number Of
employees as much as possible, and
that this move has not resulted In the
laying off of men in numbers greater
than reported, Is due to the unnatural
increase in business resulting from the
strike on the. lakes, which has thrown
much lake and rail tonnage to the
.all-ratl lines. .. s.....
This lake strike is the most disturb
Ing thing the country has faced for
some time. At the Thursday meeting
in Cleveland, vessel property to the
! value Of s60,0OO,00O was represented,
by men who voted to continue the
!, fight and allow their vessels to lie idle
/ rather than grant the concessions
asked. The determination to hold out
is just as strong on the other side, and
1 it is a bad outlook for lake traffic.
i The same conservatism shown by
the railroads > finds expression
I elsewhere IN " different form.
! Merchants in many centers and
/ some large manufacturers are buy
\ ing only to the extent of actual ne
! cessity. Nevertheless there is a fair
general business. Quiet trade and q
waiting tendency are not unusual dur
ing the period Of crop uncertainty and
conflicting reports, and this year the
feeling is increased by the presidential
campaign now opening. While the
country is fairly active in a business
way there is not SO much heard of
new enterprise as would ordinarily be
expected in the spring, and some of
the great Industries, as the iron and
steel trade, find orders unsatisfactori-
ily light. Below the surface conditions
appear to be shaping for better things
later on, and the crop outlook, by no
means as favorable as could be
wished, has at least shown no gen
eral change for the worse and in some
states Improvement is noted. Wall

A DOCTORS SIMPLE CURE
London Leader.

Somewhere upon British soil there is
young doctor who has within the last
few days learned lesson which should
be invaluable to him in his future prac-
tice He accompanied his betrothed to a
theater. While the house was in semi
darkness she suddenly complained Of feel
ing faint. The doctor took something out
of his pocket and whispered to her to keep
the tabloid" in. her mouth, but not to
swallow it. She did as she was told and
soon felt all right again. The tablet,
however, showed no signs Of dissolving,
and in the end, being curious to discover
what the tasteless, indissoluble substance
that had proved SO efficacious could be-,
she slipped the undiminished substance
into her glove for future inspection. When
she got home she took it out Of her glove
and examined it. It was a bone glove

Using the Parks.

Each generation is supposed to- do
something for posterity. That Is one
Of the reasons, apparently, why we
spend so much money on parks. Min
neapolis doesn't get its moneys worth
out Of it's parks. We do not mean
by this that our splendid park sys-
tenn has not been economically ac-
quired and maintained. In that sense
the city is undoubtedly getting its
moneys worth. ~ :. 2:
! What we mean is that the people
do not use as they should the parks
that have. been acquired and beauti-
fed at their charge. Go into any of
our parks, especially suburban, these
days, and you will find few people
enjoying them. These spring days,
however, are days when the parks
are most delightful. Now the grass
is soft and green, the foliage deli
cate and beautiful and the tempera-
ture just right for enjoyment Of the
delights Of nature. 8 cs, 3
Nothing the city can afford in the
way of recreation Or amusement Is
more enjoyable or more recreative
than leisurely visit to- Minnehaha
park on an afternoon or evening.
The laughing, splashing stream is
now bankful. The falls are all that
imagination paints them or Longfel-
low thought them to be, and the ro-
mantle glen thru which the stream
rushes and foams was never more
alluring. 1t is impossible to visit this
charming spot without acquiring rest
and peace Of mind. Minneapolis is
indeed fortunate to have such a pic
turesque and romantic glen as Min
nehaha within it's boundaries. Sc
also Is it blessed in its lakes. in the
Mississippi river, and in the pictur-
esque hills and valleys that grid the
city roundabout; yet it is to be feared
that our people avail themselves toe
little Of the goods with which nature
has endowed them.

Wheat Prices.

Eastern mi1lers, with wheat due
them to come from Duluth, but held
back by the strike, were compelled to
Tide over by purchasing lots in Chi
rago and other markets for all rail
shipment. This demand, with the
many strong features already exist
ing, brought on g. substantial gain in
prices. Continuance Of this will
probably carry wheat still higher, but
the situation is one that makes for
price uncertainty even greater than
ordinary. With winter wheat get
ting closer to harvest time and Chi
cago high enough to attract heavy
movement, with crop reports now
running more favorable on the whole
than formerly, prices 12c to 200 above
last year, poor export -four demand
and other things Of a like nature to
be taken into account the bears are
confident Of recession a little later.
Against this there is the admittedly
small winter wheat crop. the late
spring wheat seeding, and the fact
that there Is little old wheat in sight
most Of it in Minneapolis, where
stocks have been decreased this week
by 1,039,726 bushels Shipments
from Argentine are also showing de-
creases, which is Of first importance
Since Jan. 1, Argentine has thrown
56,s00,o00 bushels into Europe
against S6,8S2,00O bushels year ago
while Russia and India also Increased
shipments greatly. A falling off ir
this movement from competing coun-
tries would mean much. The Rus
sian-Japan war was bull factor some
months ago when the great rise was
on. but 1t worked the other way final.

MISTRESS OF THE SEA

the attention Of the world to the signifi-
canoe for all nations of the English DOM
ination in Egypt. and the fact that Eng
land controls Suez and Gibraltar, and all
the chief strategical points on the globe.
Her already powerful fleet goes on in
creasing in strength, and with the addi-
ton Of the ships now building will attain
colossal proportions. She has also a
large number of coaling stations on all

truly mistress Of the seas.
