get what rightfully belongs to it
in the way of being rightfully
represented in the state census.

MERCHANTS HAD J
GOOD BUSINESS
Large Crowd Attracted to
City By Circus Yesterday
Did Much Trading.

The receipts of the retail mer'
cantile establishments of the city
yesterday we're much larger
than the receipts Of an ordinary
days business, due to the visit
here of the Gollmar Bros. show.
Circus day always brings large
crowds to the city, and yester.
day the trains from all directions
carried hundreds of people at.
tracted by the show. The people
of the surrounding country are
always told Of the coming circus
weeks before the performance is
given and a large share of them
prepare to do their trading when
visiting the city in which the
show is given. AS result, circus
day is invariably a good one for
the merchants, and yesterday
was no exception in Bemidji.

Grand Forks Visited By
Worst Storm in History
Of North Dakota.
MUCH DAMAGE In CITY AND.
: SURROUNDING COUNTRY.
Conservative Estimate Places
Amount Of Losses Sustained
at $4,000.

With a roar similar to that
which precedes a cyclone of suf-
ficient volume to hurriedly bring
residents to doors and windows,
the most terrific hail storm that
ever visited North Dakota broke
over Grand Forks at 1870 yes
terday, and in the Is minutes
that the rain of hail continued
damage amounting to at least
$25, 900 was done.
The greatest damage was to
windows and skylights and there
is hardly a whole window pane
left in the entire city on the south
and west sides of buildings, ex-
cept such as were protected by
full length screens.
Phe parade of the Forepaugh-
Sells circus-had just returned to
the showgrouuds and the animals
were under the great canvas
when the storm broke, and the
fact that the storm did not occur
during the parade on the down
town streets probably saved
many lives.
The storm covered a very small
area, according to the reports
that have been received, but it is
feared that much damage has
been done north of the city on
the Minnesota side, between
Grand Forks and Granville, Is
miles away, and every effort to
get reports from that section
have been unavai1ing, the tele.
phone line being disabled since
the storm. At the university no
hail fell and the storm extended
but a short distance east of East
Grand Forks, but very little hail
falling at Mallory, so that the
storm could hardly have covered
a strip more than two miles in
width, following the river closely.

BOYCOTT ON AMERICAN GOODS
United States Consul Talks Of Chinese
Grievances.

San Francisco, June 29.-Edward G..
Bellows, until recently consul general
for the United States in Japan, has ar
rived in San Francisco aboard the Pa
cific Mail liner Manchuria.
Mr.. Bellows brings renewed confir-
nation Of the boycott which the mer-
chants of China have declared upon
the United States manufacturers and
on goods and merchandise coming
from i..B country. He adds a new
phase to the condition Of affairs by
bringing the information that the
OrientA!s have carried the boycott to
the extent that in many instances i'm
porters are having great difficulty in
obtaining assistance in the unloading
of American PRODUCTS.
@There can 81 no doubt that there
is determined effort afoot in China
whereby it is hoped to bring pressure
to bear on the United States through
the medium of the boycott" said Mr..
Bellows. "The object, as has already
been exploited, is to force this coun-
try to grant more liberal treatment
TO merchants and other Chinese who
travel in the United States"
