PLUCKY GIRL WINS A FARM,
Miss McGarry Rode On an Engine to
Filing Place.

CASS LAKE, Mimi, Sept. 14.-Cass
county is now boasting of the splendid
pluck and courage of Miss Edna Nc
Garry heroine of the latest rush of
filers for government tracts at the Cass
Lake land office.
Miss McGarry has several acouaint-
ances in the twin cities and they will
be interested in the night adventure
which brought her a farm and made
her famous in this part of the state.
Miss McGarry made ner settlemen.
upon the so-called White City land at
midnight just before the tracts were
to come into market at the Cass Lake
office. She was twenty-five miles
from the office and to secure her claim
it was necessary for her to be at the
filing place when the doors were to
be opened
The brave young woman hurried to
the station at Walker and attempted
to travel by freight train to Cass Lake.
She was promptly put off under the
regulation that freight trains must not
carry passengers. A gutter would
have given up at this juncture.
Miss McGarry's courage simply rose
with the emergency. Two things were
clear in her mind; she had to be in
Cass Lake to file upon the land and
the freight train must take her to
Cass Lake.
Then she skirted the long line of

TOLD ON DEATH BED.
Society Girl Reveals CIandestine
Wedding.

SEATTLE, Sept. 14.-Just a few
minutes before she died in Providence
hospital yesterday, Jessie H. Allison,
daughter of John Allison, a stock
broker and prominent in local society,
confessed to her mother that six
months ago she was secretly married
in Tacoma to James Sullivan, son of
Mrs. Margaret Sullivan, the wealthiest
woman in Seattle.
Young Sullivan, who is manager of
his mothers estate, feared her dis
pleasure and the clandestine marriage
was arranged.
Two weeks ago the young wife was
taken i'll and sent to the hospital for
an operation for tumor Saturday she
grew worse and after asking her ply
stefan if ner case was serious and re-
ceiving an affirmative reply, confided
her secret to her mother She then
begged that her husband, who has
been to see her frequently, be sent for.
He hurried to her bedside, but when he
arrived his wife was dead.

PUBLIC PRINT SCANDAL.

1t is something more than twenty
years since James G. Blaine published
a solemn warning against the extrav-
agance of the public printing office
but he placed the responsibility for
the excuses of this bureau where they
belong, with congress The work of
the government printing office comes,
nearly all of it, directly or indirectly
from cOngress-directly where con-
gress orders matter which has been
brought up in debate to be printed
Immediately, or indirectly when con-
gress commands an executive depart
ment to put some document or other
in type.
The president can never reform the
public printing office without the CO.
operation of congress, and the CO.
operation of congress will be hard to
get so long as the office pampers the
vanity of the congressman. 1t enables
him to print long, dreary documents
which, when received (franked) by his
constituents, by their very weight
convince that he must be a very
prominent man, else ne would not nave
been able to write all that stuff and
get it printed. 1t does not matter that
he did not write and probably has
never read it. He knows that it is
good, as the member did who printed
Henry Georges Progress and Poe
erty'' in the Record, and that other
member who secured the publication
OF Thomas Jefferson Testament.
These bis of printing have been in
weighed against, but it should not be
so. They had the merit of being read
able, which is more than can be said
for nine-tenths of the stuff that
Uncle Sam laboriously puts in type.
So far as the conduct Of the office
is concerned, the president probably
can do something by changing public

TWO CHILDREN ROB A BANK.
Boys of 6 and Years Stes! 500 and
Strew Bills In Their Flight.

YOUNGSTON, O., Sept. 14.-With
two men seated in the bank and nun
dreds of persons passing on the street,
two juvenile bank robbers, Clyde Len
ney and Leonard Parks, aged respec-
lively and years, robbed the First
National bank of Niles of 500 yester-
day and had they not been seen going
out the basement window with their
arms loaded with bills, they would
have got safely away.
The two young desperajoes had
planned the raid we'll. The bank was
closed during the noon hour and only
two men were in the building at the
time. Vice President William Herbert
and Judge T. L. Giffner, were in the
directors room, and did not hear the
barefooted boys in the banking room.
The youngsters entered the bank
through a window in the basement
A newsboy and another boy saw the
two boys climbing out the basement
window and chased them.
Scattering bills at every jump, the
two boys fairly flew for several blocks
before they were caught and forced
to disgorge the bills they had stuffed
in nearly every pocket.
Of the $500 stolen 1926 was recov-
cred.
The robbery created intense excite
ment. Wild stories served to create
run On the bank at once, and not
until late in the evening, when it was
learned just hof much money was
taken, was the run stopped. The lads
had hidden large part of the money
in an alley and several packages con-
tanning $50 each in $40 bills were hid
den in the basement of the bank itself
The boys were not arrested, and every
effort was made by the officials to keep
to keep the story of the affair secret.

freight and logging cars until she
reached the putting and greasy en-
CINE. Grasping the pilot, she swung
herself upon it. No one had seen her
and in few moments the train was
under way. Soon the engine was
bounding from side to side as it rushed
along over the sleepers, but the plucky
girl held the tighter to the rods and
braces near her perilous seat. Her
fearsome sensations wore away to
some extent and the wild ride brought
delight in it's danger and risk and
sent the blood coursing merrily through
her veins.
When Wilkinson station was reached
Miss McGarry was discovered and
second attempt made to keep her off
the train. But the railroad men could
not long deny the plucky girl with so
worthy a purpose, and eventually she
won the day and came into Cass Lake
on the train in ample time to make
her filing on the land.
1t is said that no contest can now
lie against her claim. Sheer pluck has
won Miss McGarry farm. How many
would fail if placed in the same emer-
gency which confronted her

NOTICE TO ADVERTISERS,
A WONDERFUL ARMY.

1t is scarcely to be wondered at that
the military element in Japan wanted
the army to have another go at the
Russians. The japanese have evolved
the most perfect fighting machine the
world mas ever known. Whether on
the march, in the camp, on the battle
field or in the hospital, the Japanese
infantry has successfully combated all
the causes which are said to make for
the disintegration of armies. 1t was
said that the japanese was an imita-
tion army; that when it came into ac-
ton it could never stand before white
men. But it has stood before white
men, and the most powerful white men
KNOWN and pressed them back steadily.
1t was claimed that the Japanese had
borrowed the idea of artillery; that
while they had some long range guns,
they did not know now to handle them.
The Japanese have SHOWN the white
man several things about the artillery
game. In range-finding, both on sea
and on land, the japanese have set a
new pace in war.
But the most marvellous thing about
the Japanese army is neither it's
marching nor it's fighting, though these
excel anything known before in modern
times. The success of Japanese arms
either of these, and that is the obe-
dience of the rank and file to orders
An army surgeon of long experience
calls attention to this one fact as most
significant. The japanese at home are
sumes from one to two gallons of
water a day. But on the march the
Japanese soldier has absolutely re-
Trained from drinking of the springs
and rivers of Manchuria. Wherever
there was sign put up by the medi-
cal department condemning the water
of a stream, the soldiers would let it
alone, though suffering the most in
tense agonies of thirst. This supreme
test of discipline the Japanese soldiers
on the march, and even in battle, met
without flincning. The result was
that the japanese hospitals received
only a fractional per cent. of the num-
Der that American field hospitals
would have received under similar
circumstances.
The Russians could hardly expect to
beat soldiers who would march all
night, fight all day and then lie down
parched with thirst within the sound
of running water and refrain from
drinking it because it was labeled
dangerous by some unknown army
doctor.

JOY FOR MANY PRISONERS,
Ruling by Judge Hanford That Re

Hanford. a large number of prisoners
incarcerated at McNeirs island and
other federal peniten iaries throughout

The court held that the act passed
by congress in 1902 increasing the al
lowance for good conduct from five
days to 10 days applied to prisoners
sentenced previous to the passage Of
he statute contained specific pro-
vision that it did not SO apply.

said that it was these treaties and the
deal made by John Hay, whereby the
warning nations agreed to limit their
military operations to Manchuria,
which very likely saved the civilized
world from falling into the ca1dron
of this conflict. Had the war wand
cred into neutral territory, there would
probably have been a treading upon
toes which would have produced fric-
ton enough to light the fires of war in
France and Germany.
The old treaty gave Japan ner OPP
portunity Great Britain played the
part of the big brother, holding back
the crowd while Japan gave Russia
the drubbing she so richly deserved.
The new treaty is intended to safe
guard what Japan had earned. 1t is
a close interdefensive alliance which
covers all the mutual interests of the
allied nations through the world from
Persia east to the limits of Japan. So
long as it lasts and so long as Japan
and England remain supreme on the

dicted, may include at no distant time
France as we'll. If it should the po-
Icing of the ocean will be in the
hands of as competent sea-nghting
nations as the world has ever known.
France, which has had an unhappy
time as the ally of lubberly Russia,
has within a few weeks had a real
fever of affection for Great Britain.
The fleets have fraternized, the par
liaments of the two countries have
exchanged visits, the cabinets have
agreed on liberal arbitration treaties,
and everything has looked like the re-
marriage of divorces. England and
France have not been so near together
since they fought side by side in the
Crimea.
Moreover it mas not been all senti-

her claim of preponderant interests in

let the kaiser understand that they
would not be bound by his opinions,
for the ultimatum was sent and the
sultan of Morocco apologized and paid
an indemnity.
