John &C G aAckernlaTIl Gzary
farmer who operates a tllresh-
ing machine was in the city Mon
day. When asked by a represen-
tative of the Inter- Ocean con-
cerning the crop prospects in
that part Of the county, he
stated there was no damage as
We . rom rust, and that the har-
vest would be well along in two
weeks. He thinks there will not
be q bumper crop. but that it will
be a good paying one. He is an
experienced farmer, and his IN
terestain the threshing business
has caused him to make a care
ful investigation as to the con-
ditions Of the crops.

4 elegr aphers ( Strike
Is Not Exc ting.

The strike of the G. N. tele-
graphers continues with both
sides claiming a prospective vic
tory. Statements bearing out both
cont tentions can be had for the
asking, and the investigator is
compelled to base his conclusions
upon the conditions as he sees
them. A few hours spent about
the depot told the reporter more
than he had learned from all
other sources. So far as. this
division is concerned, the pas
senger trains are all practically
on schedule time. The regular
freights are being run, and when
necessary, extras are handled.
This shows that the aiIroad
officials are in command of the!
situation on this division at
least, and as many Of the through.
trains are run over other diui-
sioIls, the same must be true
there. Sunday a work train was
out between this city and Crary,
and during the remainder Of the
week it has been at different
points on the line. AS is we'll
known, these trains are all run
on special orders which would
not be possible were the lines
entirely without telegraph con
nections Operators are work
ing at Bartl ett and Lakota, and
Agent Dun who fits into almost
any position, is handling the key
at this place. The instruments
in the Office are con instantly click
ing, proving that the wires are
being worked. The amount Of
freight being handled has not
diminished q particle, the only
precaation being that taken by
all common carriers in case Of
strikes of accepting consign-
nnsnts at5the shipp risk. AT
the stations where the operator
5sis express agent also, no express
is being deliverd, but is thrown
off at the consignel,s IS risk, and
he is expected to take care Of it.
e A CAREFUL inquiry into the
cause of the strike seems to in
dicate a lack of nderstanding

shows some confusion among

ID. w. Anderson, whose home
WAS in st. Paul, was struck by

the coal shutes Sunday morning
about 7:::3O o'clock, and died
from his injuries three hours
later. The unfortunate man,
accompanied by his son, had Just
arrived in the city to secure
work III the harvest fields. After
getting off the train, they walk
ed west along the track, when
an engine running light, which
had just left the yards, struck
him. The engineer blew the
danger signal but the older man
seemed not to have heard He
was hurled over the embank-
ment, one arm and one leg were
ctured, and he was injured
internally. He was at once
removed to Mercy hospital,
where he died a few hours later.
Coroner Nimmo held an in
quest on the body, the coroner's
jury composed Of All. Taylor, ". /

rendering a verdict that the
deceased came to his death from
his own carelessness and with

First National
Twenty Years Old

The First National Bank Of
this city will in a few weeks
celebrate it's twentieth birthday
lby a renewal of it's charter.
The history of this institution is
ltle history Of Devils Lake and
to great extent the history of
Ramsey county. The original
charter is dated August 81, 1885
and the bank was opened for
business October 18th of the
same year, in the old land Office
building on Fifth street near the
present location Of Wilson's liv-
| cry barn. The building was de-
stroyed by fire several years ago.

Hon. "A. o. Whipple was the
organizer Of the bank and has
been actively identified with its.
interests until failing health
compelled him to retire a short,
time ago. Hon. Fl. Z. Baird
became connected with the bank
later, and through all the years
since that time has been Jealous
in his fidelity to its and it's
patrons interests. The bank
has been largely instrumental in
developing Ramsey coun t y.
Thoroughly grounded in their
faith in the possibilities Of the

the personific ification Of businesss

like in his every action, the per-
son who has business with the
bank can deal with him frankly
on business matters without the
need of dealing in verbosity. !
This remarkable trait is indeed
a rare ene, and to it is largely
due the unbounded confd dencel

he represents.

opened its doors to the public a
decade ago. 1t il the oldest

Vladivostock to to be declared a neu-

The Eastern Chinese railroad to be

Manchuria, as far north as I-arbin
to be restored as an integral part of the
Chinese empire.
Difficulty lies in settling the ques-
ton of indemnity upon which it is
known that Japan insists, but it is
thought that this difficulty is not in
superab1e.
The most trustworthy information
at st. Petersburg is. in view of the
enormous difficulty in carrying on the
war, peace on the terms outlined will
be concluded within a comparatively
short time If the indemnity question
can be arranged, but it is quite possible
that Russia will risk another battle

left the wagon and horses and started
bravely to walk the remaining distance
When. within 200 yards of his home
he fell. exhausted and numbed by the
cold. He froze to death where he lay.
