the fact that Duluth furnished
5000 Republican votes to 10000
for the balance of the district. The
Office of Register of the Duluth
land Office goes to Anoka and Du-
luth has all the other Federal ap-
pointmeuts corralled so far. The
receivership of the land Office is
the bone of contention at present
and the failure of Congress-
man Bede to definitely state that
Duluth is to have the same, has
threatened a revolution secession,
and several other dire calamaties.
However, Mr.. Bede does not seem
to be greatly Hurried and will do
about as he pleases in the matter
regardless of the heavy artillery
language on tap in Duluth. While
the subject is uppermost in our
mind, it might not be out of place
to state that Congressman Bede is
not quite as large as the Duluth
federal building, but, that he has
more sand in his makeup than the
structure, and what he says, goes.
If the district outside of Duluth
with it's 10000 Republican votes
will stand for the unsalted city
having all the Offices but one, well
and good. A protest is being made
against this Office grabbing gang
and something may drop in the
near future.

Steel Ties.

In view of the approaching limitat-

especially in some section, the rail

the growing of their own supplies of

GEN. c. c. ANDREWS and his pet
scheme for forestry parks and hunt
ing preserves, bobs up serenely ev-
cry now and then and naturally
must be sat upon or eventually the
entire part of northern Minnesota
would be one grand forest preserve.
Without doubt forestry is good
and should be encouraged but in
our opinion potatoes and wheat,
cattle and sheep, etc, are of far
more Importance. The Twin cities
are the fosters of the pet schemes.
The General does the work and for
many years has been troubling the
development of the state with just
such misguided tommy-rot. In 1891
they tried scheme of making
forest reserve of about 5000 900
acres of land comprising Beltrami,
Cass and Itasca counties entire,
all of st. Louis county north of
the Mesaba range, and part of
Lake county. The president was
petitioned to set this aside as be-
ing mostly unsuitable for agricul-
tlrai purposes, the preservation of
which is absolutely necessary to
feed the water sources of our lakes
and rivers, to protect the people
against the cold winds of the polar
regions, to supply atmospheric
humidity, and to be for future
generations one of the most beau
tiful forest retreats in the coun-
try" In this vast area are located
the prolific and prosperous Little
Fork, Big Fork and Rainy river
valleys, which include some of the
finest farming lands in the state,
This year the Twin cities are at it
again and now it is another forest
reserve to retard the progress of
the extreme northern part of the
state and remove from the chances
of settlement another vast area.
Again the people will look with
suspicion upon the scheme. We
should think the Twinsc could see
that anything helping to get pop
ulation into the state would help
them. Is it not also strange that
Minnesota is appropriating money
to advertise the state to prospect
i've settlers and.at the same time
pay salary to Gen. G. c. Andrews
F. to keep settlers away with his for
est reserve twaddle? IT'S settlers
we want at present, not trees.
The trees will follow the same as
they have in the eastern states.

A Rich Farmer.

The dispatch from Pickens to The
State says the largest lot of cotton
evsr sold by planter in Pickens
county was sold few days ago by
Mr.. J. Samuel Wilson to Heath
Bruce-Morrow company, of Pickens
Mr.. Wilson sold 72O bales, q portion
of two crops. The lot brought lO1
cents round, aggregating nearly
$4,000 In many respects Mr..
Wilson is a remarkable man. He
was q valiant Confederate soldier in
the Civil war and at the close of that
conflict came home with absolutely
nothing. he began as day laborer
and saved everything be made, finally
purchasing all the lands owned by
his former employers. MIR. Wilson
today is the largest planter in upper
South Carolina and owns some of
the finest cotton lands to be found
in Pickens and Anderson counties.

Fever Scares New Orleans.

New Orleans, Aug. II "A feeling
of depression over the yellow fever
situation is general despite the opti-
mistic assurances of the health off
cials. The fact that most of the
cases reported are in the exclusive
residential section is considered a
grave feature. No one is considered
safe from the disease. Three deatt g
and twelve new cases have so far
been reported today, making a total
of 759 cases and l27 deaths to date.
The strike Of the men employed
in the sanitary work WAS broken by
the engagement Of new men. The
feeling is bitter against those who
deserted posts when badly needed.
The leaders are likely to be forced to
leave the city.

Two Ladies Have a. Dispute.

z
A very sad and unusual calamity
occurred at Batesburg Wednesday
morning,in which Mrs. Laura Miller,
an aged and respected lady lost her
life Some time previous Mrs. Mil
Ter and Mrs. Matte Rikard, q neigh
Dor who lives just across the street,
had some misunderstanding that led
to i'll feeling between the two ladies.
Yesterday morning, it seems from
the evidence adduced at the coroner's
inquest, that Mrs. Rikard went across
to Mrs. Miller and the difficulty was
renewed. Mrs. Miller was sweeping
at the time with an ordinary straw
broom and she walked toward Mrs.
Rikard waving her way with the
broom. The latter became exaeper-
ated st the conduct of the other and
jerked the broom out of her hand
and rubbed her in the face with the
bushy erd, Mrs. Miller fell back
ard expired Immediately, from heart
failure it is thought. Mrs. Miller
has been subject to attacks OF the
heart for some time and it is thought
that this brought on an attack from
which she died. Both families have
the hearty sympathy of many friends
here.
The inquest was held by Jasper
S. Derrick. Magistrate, and the YER
dict of the jury was: Mrs. Laura
Miller came to her death by heart
failure caused by undue excitement
brought on by herself and Mrs
Matte Rikard.
