The dates Of tho Brown County
Fair are September IL. l8, and 18th.
As the Primaries are hold on tho 18th
you should vote before coming to the
fair. This 10 new process Of color printing .or
u:ed for the first time in this office

Inc decision OF w. ). Hammond to
enter the field as a candidate for the
Office of congressman from this district
on a platform that is much the same
as that of Gilbert Guttersen, gives rise
to the question whether or not he will
be candidate in the event of Mr..
Guttersen getting the nomination. If
it is not his intention to make an active
campaign his being a candidate before
the primaries will only tend to weaken
the strength of Mr.. Guttersen. It was
generally conceded two years ago that
a large per cent of the votes that we're
cast for Miller, were democratic votes
and it is largely upon the Miller
strength that Mr.. Guttersen is relying.
Mr.. Hammond is a very excellent man.
He is known in this city through his
having been the speaker chosen to de-
liver the address on the occasion of
the graduation of two different classes
at the high school. He is eminently
qualified for the place, man who is
true to his conviction of what is right
and wrong and man of studied &C
ton, deliberate of purpose and of un-
shaken principle, who has had little
love for politics and yet who is capable
of commanding the attention of the
people. He will divide the vote of the
district with whomsoever is nominated
on the republican ticket.

Relations in Canada.

When the Alaska boundary question
was settled by the international boun-
Diary commission, which met in Lon
don, there was we'll defined under
standing that, in view of the remark
able concession made by Great Bri-
tain, which practically gave the United
States all it commended for, and which,
of course, bitterly disappointed the
Canadians, there should follow new
attempt to create better trade relations
between the United States and Canada.
Sir Wilfred Laurier and others fire.
quently have declared of late that the
time for reciprocity has gone by, yet
they have been constantly complain
ing of our tariff regulations, and it IS
we'll known fact that if the United
States should enact a general recipro-
city law this country would be given
the benefit, almost without hesitation,
by Canada of the preferential tariff.
Reciprocity with Canada is newt
able if we want it. A special commits
sion is about to proceed to study the
question of fisheries and seals and
similar topics. Out of the work of
that commission there will almost GER
tainly come more or less direct de-
mand for reciprocity.
With the proposition for reciprocal
tariff relations from New Zealand,
South America, Canada. and Mexico
almost in sight for next fall it seems
practically certain that the subject will
be forced upon the short session of
congress, and if it is there may be a
chance for the administrator to re-
trieve in this way the serious mistakes
it has made in the rest Of it's foreign
policy.

A TROPICAL TERROR.
Most Dreaded of Living Things II
Equatorial Africa.

Most Dreaded Of Living Things In
Equatorial Africa.
Europeans who visit the great equa-
many risks, but none perhaps so dan
gerous as contact with the bashikouay,
or great bull ant, which is said to be
the most dreaded of living things to be
found in that region. It is gluttonous
In the extreme. That which it attacks
1t consumes on the spot-nothing is
carried away for further convenience.
Elephants, leopards, gazelles, lions,
snakes, gorillas, monkeys, even the
human aborigines of the districts it
1nfests, fly from any neighborhood in
which they know it to be located. Ac-
cOrding to we'll accredited reports,
these awe inspiring bull ants travel,
like locusts, in vast armies, marching
In line two inches or more broad and
miles in length. One Of these armies
has been known to take twelve hours
to pass a given point. These ants pre-
fer the shade and, rather than be ex-
posed to the rays of the blazing sun,
will burrow tunnels under the surface
Of the ground and thus travel until
they come to the shelter Of trees. Any
animal which, unaware Of the proxim-
ity of the bull ant and reposing in
the solitude Of the welt, happens to be
attacked has no chance Of escape. 1t
is devoured with irresistible fury, and
within few minutes pile Of bleached
bones marks the spot where it reposed.
A great deal Of valuable information
about this dreaded creature has been
published by French zoologist, NJ. de
Cha1ller, who has described personal
encounter with the bull ant. II re-
member we'll the first time I met the
bashikouays on a raid. I knew not
what was in store for me. I was hunt
Ing by myself, when suddenly the for
est became alive with the foe. A sud-
den dread seized me, and I stood still
in the hunting path, resting on my gun.
Suddenly, as if by magic, was COW
cred and bitten everywhere. 1 fed in
haste and found refuge in a deep
stream, yet even then the strong pinch
ers of the ants would not give way,
and though the bodies were torn off the
heads remained. The native tribes,
when man is condemned for witch
craft, generally fasten him to a tree
before an inroad Of these ants. After
they have passed a shining skeleton
alone Is left to tell the tale"

"reminiscences Wanted.

Ihe Review started IN a small way
some years ago to collect remiscenses
of the Indian massacre, but for diff
ferent reasons was unable to follow it
up. It now appears that there is time
and opportunity to complete the work
and we. would like to ask those who
passed through the Indian troubles to
contribute their personal recollections
of the event for publication in the Re-
view, after which they will be arranged
and bound in book form.
The object of this is two fold, first
and above all other consideration is
the purpose of preserving correct
and accurate account of that time to
the generations that will follow, and
second we desire to use it in the paper
as a matter of interest to readers of
the Review.
It is apparent to all that the time is
fast approaching wien the last of the
survivors of that struggle will have
passed away, and it will be an impos-
sibility to get at the individual facts
that must enter into a correct history
of the event. 1t would be shame and
loss to the city if the opportunity to
secure this valuable information should
be allowed to pass and in the interest
of the history of the county and state
we would like to take this matter up
with the cooperation of those who
have the data and will give it..
It may be that some of them will feel
that they have told the stories so many
times that it is old and uninteresting,
but that should not stand in the way.
Only a few of the personal accounts
have ever been preserved in type and
fewer of them are from the pens of
those who contributed them. We would
like all the details; the action of the
Indian prior and during the mass acre,
for it is certain that no two men saw
the thing alike and when all of the
"reminiscences have been collected and
preserved, from that some man who
has the talent of a historian will be
able to write a complete and accurate
history of the massacre.
In the event there are some who feel
that they cannot write as they would
in English we would be just as glad to
have it in German, and in the event
there are some who do not care to
write at all but would like to contri-
butte we will arrange to send some one
to them who will be able to take what
they have to tell and have it written
as they would like it. We would like
to have all the early settlers take an
interest in this and help US as much as
it is in their power, for it depends en-
tirely upon them whether the project
succeeds or fails.

Fine. Built the Mansion House.

Fines Built the Mansion House.
The Mansion House, London, was
partly built out Of money unjusty
wrung from dissenters. By an act Of
Charles II. no one could take Office
under the corporation without taking
the sacrament according to the rites Of
the Established church. By another
act sheriff who declined to serve was
rendered liable to a fine of f4OO. A
dissenter was elected sheriff, and, as
he could not take the sacrament, he
declined to serve and paid f40O. A
second was elected, with the same re-
suit. This ingenious method Of taxing
dissenters was repeated until forty
five had successfully paid the fine. No.
46 was stiff necked gentleman, and
he declined to either serve or pay. He
was sued for the fine, but the judge
held that the dlsqualifying act relieved
the dissenter Of the duty Of service.
The f1S,00O, however, already secured
was voted by the corporation to the
building fund Of the Mansion House
London Standard.

The death Of Gen. Childs at the age
Of fifty eight is almost calamity to
the state. While no one man is neces-
sary to the life of any part of this
country, there are still very many
who could be better spared than Mr..
Childs. He was a gentleman above re-
oroach, a man without a stain upon
lis honor and'a politician of incorrupt-
BILE integrity. The later years of his
fe were given over to the practice of
rosecuting attorney being, employed
some Of the largest and most impor-
tantcases that have arisen I'M the state.
The memory Of his having lived in the
state will be one of the items with
which history will have to deal in
future years.

JOHNSON AGAIN AT HEAD OF TICKET
Democrats Hold Convention in Min.
neapolis Yesterday.

Gov. John A. Johnson was nomina-
ted for the Office of governor on the
democratic ticket yesterday afternoon
by reclamation, which was a forgone
conclusion. He has passed through
the two years of his service as COVER
nor of the state with honor to himself
and credit to the commonwealth and is
as strong at the end of his term as at
any time since taking the oath of Office,
in fact he is much stronger, for he has
shown the people of the state that he
is able to do things whereas when he
was elected to the Office there was
more or less speculation as to whether
he would have the ability to carry out
the ideals of the best government for
the people. He has fulfilled all that
was expected of him and has gone
farther, attracting the attention of the
nation by his ability to grasp large
problems.
1t is freely predicted that he will be
defeated at the polls by many of the
leading republicans of the state, and
it is freely predicted by other lead
ing republican of the state that he will
be reelected, and by the democrats
there is only one thing that can hap
pen and that is his reelection. He is
deserving of the Office and there is
every reason to believe that he will
win out.
The balance of the ticket is made up
as follows:
Lieutenant governor, L. G. Fender
CAST, Bemidji
Secretary of State, P. M. Magnus-
son, St. Cloud.
State Auditor, A. Aarnes, Mo ntevi-
dec.
State Treasurer, David Evans, Tracy.
Attorney general, Thomas R. Kane,
| St. Paul.
Clerk of the supreme court, Fred d.
| Wheaton, Minneapolis.
| Railroad commissioner, Captain An

While the dates Of the county fair
include the date Of the primary election
that should in no wise interfere with
the attendance of the fair. The asso-
citation will probably arrange to have
the returns reported as they come in,
if it does not then there will be place
in the city where it will be possible to
get them, and most men will want to
take time to vote and after their vote
is cast they will find time to come to
the fair. Brown county should have
a good, well-patronized display this
year and there is every reason to be-
lieve that it will be such.

Roosevelt on Trusts.

At the outset it is worth while to say a
word as to the attempt to identify the
ton with solution of the trust question
This is always sign OF desire to avoid
any real effort to deal adequately with the
vision, speaking broadly stands wholly
apart from the question of dealing with
the trusts. No change in tariff duties can
have any substantial effect in solving the
so-ca1led trust problem.

THE SCENT OF SICKNESS,
Most Diseases, 1t Is Claimed, Have
Their Characteristic Odors.

Most Diseases, 1t Is Claimed, Have
Their Characteristic Odors.
The acuteness Of the sense Of smell
Is far greater in many Of the lower ami
mals-dogs, for example-than in man,
and they employ it in guiding them to
their food, in warning them Of ap-
preaching danger and for other pur-
poses. The sphere Of the susceptibility
to various odors is more uniform and
extended in man, and the sense of
smell is capable of great cultivation.
Like the other special senses, it may
be cultivated by attention and prac-
tice Experts can discriminate quail
ties of wines, liquors, drugs, etc. Dis
eases have their characteristic odors.
Persons who have visited many diff
ferent asylums for the insane recog-
nize the same familiar odor of the in
sane. It is not insane asylums alone,
but prisons, jails, warehouses, armies
in camp, churches, schools and nearly
every household that have characteris-
tic odors. It is when the insane, the
prisoners and the soldiers are aggre-
gated in large groups or battalions
that their characteristic odor is recog-
nized. Most diseases have their char
acteristic odors, and by the exercise of
the sense of smell they could be util-
lied in different diagnoses.
For example, favus has a mousy
odor, rheumatism has copious sour
smelling, acid sweat. A person af-
ficted with pyaemia has a sweet, nau-
seating breath. The rank, unbeara BILE
odor of pus from the middle ear tells
the tale of the decay of osseous tissue.
In scurvy the odor is putrid, in chron-
ic peritonitis musky, in scrofula like
stale beer, in intermittent fever like
fresh baked brown bread, in fever am
moniacal, in hysteria like violets or
pineapple. Measles, diphtheria, typhoid
fever, epilepsy, phthisis, ETC., have
characteristic odors Philadelphia Rec

There is fresh agitation among the
people who are interested in Red
River lands, to have the water of Lake
Traverse turned this way. Thousands
of acres in the usually productive
valley of the Red river have not been
cultivate for the past three years, and
the prospects are that they will not be
next year. For this reason there is
renewed agitation along the lines
mentioned. In the event the project
gets to point where there is liable to
be some action taken, it is more than
possible that the people along the
valley of the MinnesotaW will have some
thing to say in the matter. We had
enough water here to last a natural
life time, and there is no need OF max
ing the river larger than it is.
