pcration, so old in her sex, the rebel
lion against the law that inaction must
be her part, had fallen upon her for
the first time. She came to an abrupt
stop and struck her hands together de-
spairingly and spoke aloud.

"Ma'am?" asked u surprised voice
just behind her.
She wheeled quickly about to behold
a shock headed urchin of ten in the
path near the little clearing. He was
ragged, tanned, dusty. neither shoes nor
coat trammeling his independence, and
he had evidently entered the garden
through the gap in the hedge.

tnquiringly.

remember me?"

"Lord!' he responded wonderingly.
II was one Of the boys with you on

Mingled with the surprise in his tone
was a respectful JUNCTION which init
mated how greatly he honored her ia
Their for having been the owner Of so
satisfactory q c~onfagration.
"Were you? Perhaps I'll remember
you If you give me time"
But at this point the youth recalled
the fact that he had an errand to dis
charge, and, assuming an expression Of
businesslike haste too pressing to per-
init further parley, sought in his pocket
and produced q sealed envelope with
which he advanced upon her.
Here. There's an answer. He told
me not to tell anybody who sent it, and
not to give it to nobody on earth hut
you, and how to slip In through The
hedge and try and find you in the gar
den when nobody was lookin', and he
give a pencil for you to answer Oh the
back of it, and a dollar"
Miss Betty took the note, glancing

but Mrs. Tanberry was still occupied
with the maiden. and no one was in
sight. She read the message hastily:
I have obeyed you and shall always.
You ave not sent for me. Perhaps that
was because there was no time when you
thought II safe. Perhaps you have still
felt there would be a loss OF dignity.

All, will you see me again. this once-this
once-let me look at you. let me talk with

There was no signature.

upon the same sheet:

wrapped from neck to heels In a gray
cloak, rapidly crossed the mottled
lights and disappeared into Carewe
street. This cloaked person wore on his
head a soldiers cap, and Tom, not rec
ognizing him surely, vaguely wondered
why Tappingham Marsh chose to muf-
fe himself SO warmly on a June ven
ing. He noted the quick, alert tread as
unlike Marsh's usual gait, but no sus-
picion crossed his mind that the figure
might be that Of his partner.

If we are to judge by the thou

country, the American people are
becoming particularly easy, AL

operations, and the poor dupes al
most tumble over each other in
their to get something for nothing
or fabulous returns for a small
outlay, which anyone of average

the fact. Aside from this the

At mass meeting of the citi-

evening, it was decided unanimous
ly to reduce the number of dens of
gilded vice in our city. The COM
mittee composed of Messrs. Blum

accomplished. Daily these guar
dians are seen making their rounds

DR.. Robinson, state veterinarian
for this district, made a business
trip to McClusky Monday and
stopped at Turtle Lake on the
way. Doc is a hustler and is do
ing much to eradicate contagious
diseases from the stock in this dis
trict. If the next legislature does
its duty it will pass a law which
will at least provide for enough
compensation to pay the expenses
of the district veterinarian. At the
present time the doctor has to pay
his own expenses and draws a
monthly salary of $50. It is to
the interest Of all farmers and
stockmen to have their stock pro-
/ tected from infectious diseases,
and the only way to do this is. to
see that the veterinarian receives
enough pay. to enable him to trav-
el about his district,

The Dakota Farmer warns new
settlers in particular about the
necessity of making early ire
breaks. One reason given is that
the soil is more moist and the fire
breaks are made easier. But the
principal reason is, that it insure!
all property that is endangered by
loss from fire, a sure protection. i
suggests that the break enclose
the whole claim which will keel
the fire off your land entirely ane
thus insure much heavier yiele

Farmer says: "We have seen th'
grass more than doubled on lane
by keeping the fire off it for onl!!
two or three years. Where lane
is to be broken the following
spring. it often.means easy break
ing instead Of very hard and in
dry spring it sometimes means I

W0rkmen Make Gruesome Discovery
Near the Swedback Sawmill
This Morning.
NAME OF UNFORTUNATE MAN
SAID TO BE WILLIAM c. BERRY
The Exact Manner in Which He Met
Death Is Not Known to
Anyone.

The dead body of a man who
was subsequently identified as
William G. Berry, was found at
9 o'clock this morning, lying in
two feet of water, under the Red
Lake railroad bridge, back of the
Swedback mill. There were no
marks Of violence on the body
and nothing to indicate that the
man had met with foul play or
had been killed by train.
A. O. Clyde, an employe at the
Swedback mill, was pulling up
"deadheads' from the water,
when he discovered a shoe on a
log and looking further, saw a
mans body, lying face downward
in about two feet of water. He
notified the people in the office
and they IN turn tiled Chief
of Police Bailey and the coroner.
While waiting for the coroner to
appear, several parties were
asked to look at the body for the
purpose of Identification, but no
one recognized the remains. Mr..
Marsden, manager of the Red
Lake road, stated that the man
had never worked on his road,
and other railroad men failed to
recognize the features.
When Deputy Coroner Lahr
arrived and examined the dead
mans clo;hing, several articles
were found that made identifca-
tion complete. In a vest pocket
was found a note book, which
contained a card with the name
"William G.. Berry, printed
thereon, and on the first leaf of
the book was the following: "In
case of injury or of death, notify
James Berry, No Gust street,
Pitts burg, Pa, or W G. Berry,

May Enter Fight in Third.

Recently, Charles Schroeder
wrote to Attorney General Young
for an opinion as to whether a
candidate defeated for one Office
at the primary election could, by
the required petition, become a
candidate for another Office at
the general election.
The law was apparently plain
in the matter, but an answer
from the attorney generals
Office was conflicting, one mem
Der Of the corps writing that he
could and another that he could
not legally do so. A personal
letter from Mr.. Young states
that the law is plain and that he
may become a candidate for
another Office, by petition, if he
so desires.
Mr.. Schroeder seriously con-
templates becoming an indepen-
dent candidate for county COM
missioner from the Third district,
and he desired to be absolutely
sure of his standing in the matter,
having been defeated at the
primaries for the repub blican
nomination for clerk of court.

Fires kindled in the Rear Of the Nan.
gle and Grill Buildings During
Last Night.
POLICE FORCE on THE ALERT
AND ExTINGUIsH THE FLAMES
Work Of Some Person Familiar With
the Regulations Of the Police
Night Run.

Two attempts were made last
night to set fire to the Nangle
store building and the Grill
restaurant block, and had it not
been for the alertness of Captain
Norman Helmer and Patrolman
D. E. Smith serious fire might
have resulted.
The firebug was q person who
is evidently acq tainted with the
fsct that the members of the
police force go to the night trains
and that the uptown district is
not patrolled by the full force at
that time. The first attempt at
incendiarism was made about
1890, at the time that the pas
senger train from the west is due.
The fire had been lighted and
was burning slowly, when dis
covered and extinguished.
The second attempt to create
confagration was made at 2:3O,
about the hour that the west
bound passenger arrives, but the
train was late and the police
alert and discovered the fire be-
fore it gained any considerable
headway.
The Nangle store was the
scene Of the first attempt and
the rear of the Grill building
was set afire last.
There is no clue to the frebug,
but should he be caught in his
attempts at incendiarism, he will
Ibe given the fullest extent of
the law.

Walker SaWmiII Nearly Done.

T. J. Welch, who is a large
stockholder in the new Leech
Lake Lumber company, was in
the city yesterday morning,
having come down from Big
Falls. He has been in the north
country for the past week, look
ing over the field relative to the
purchase of logs for his company,
and states that he is much en-
couraged by the outlook.
The Leech Lake company was
organized last spring, and has
for it's object the erection of a
sawmill plant at Walker, where
will be manufactured all kinds of
lumber. A site was purchased
and work commenced on the
sawmill plant two months ago.
The mill is now more than half
completed and it is expected
that it will be ready for business
by the first of December.
The capacity of the mill will be
between sixteen and twenty
million feet a year. It is located
on a spur of the NJ. & I. railway,
on Leech lake, and has excellent
facilities for shipping out lum Der.
Jubilee Singers Good.
The entertainment given at
the opera house last night by
the Williams Dixie Jubilee
singers was good; in fact, it was
the best thing that has appeared
in Bemidji since the Great
McEwen. The singers, six in
mum ber, exclusive of the piano
player, are all artists, and gave a
program of songs, classic and
"coon," that was a delight to
hear. Mr.. Williams, who was
the "funny" man of the group,
kept the crowd in a roar with
his sly humor. Mrs. Williams
!! has an especially fine contralto
voice, and the rest of the company
are all gifted.
