The M. & L. Road Pushing
Span Across the Little
Forks River.

The Minnesota & International rail-
way is pushing the work on the new
bridge which the company intends to
build across the Little Fork river at
Big Falls. 1t is the intention of the
company to span the river at once,
but whether the line of railroad will
be extended north of Big Falls this
year is known only to the officers of
the company, and they are maintain
ing a Sphinx-like silence relative to
the purpose of the company.
The new bridge will have 1900 feet
of an approach and the main trestle
over the river will be 600 feet. The
approach is being built as rapidly as
possible, and already fifteen bents have
been driven from the south end of the
bridge. There will be two spans and
the bridge will be a substantial affair
In every respect.
1t is known that several different
surveys have been run north from Big
Falls toward International Falls, the
objective terminus of the NJ. & l.. and
the fact that there is considerable
activity at the townsite across the
river from Big Falls would indicate
the intention Of the railroad company
to extend the line in the not far dis
tant future.

CLOSE INSPECTION
Chief Lowe Searched Belong
ings Of Manufacturing
More Found.

Yesterday afternoon, Chief Lowe
took the man Frank Monatt into his
private Office and put him through the
sweat box In an effort to find out more
about him and his past actions.
Monatt seemed to be dazed and had
evidently been drinking hard for days.
He claimed to have a grip at a down
town restaurant which was subse-
quently looked up and searched. Its
contents consisted mostly of wearing
apparel such as would belong to a
working man and nothing of an in
eliminating nature was discovered.
When arraigned before Judge
Church. but brief examination was
sufficient and Monatt was given thirty
days to think over the folly of carry
ing of other peoples belongings.
E. D. Hostetter, the complaining
witness, whose grip Monatt took as
previously stated in The Evening
Times, went to Grafton this morning.
A colored man, name unknown, was
taken in charge for the theft of a
suit Of clothes which he took from
the Union hotel and pawned on the
other side of the river. He was ar
raigned today before Judge Church
and sentenced.
This morning warrant was sworn
out by Fred Ausk as complaining wit
ness for the man whose name is given
as VIM. Lucas, and Judge Purcell gave
him ~ days for his offense.

Open SHOP POLICY
Will be Applied to Postal Ser
vice Say Department
Officials.

Washington, D. c., Sept. 1.-The
principle of the open shop" will be
applied to the postal service, accord
ing to decision reached at the depart
ment today at conference between
Postmaster Fred A. Busse of Chicago,
and Acting Postmaster General Hitch
cock and Second Assistant Postmaster
General Shallenberger. The visit of
Postmaster Busse to this city was
brought about by the announcement,
recently made, of the proposed forma-
ton of national labor union of
postal clerks in affiliation with the
American Federation of Labor. The
determination today that so long as
the postal clerks or other postoffice
employees conform to the rules and
regulations of the office and do not
attempt to coerce or in any way modest
those who do not enter the union
there will be no objection to the en-
ployes affiliating with labor organiza-
tons. 1t was expressly stated how
ever. that the department would afford
the fullest protection to those who for
reasons Of their own do not see fit to
join the union.

VAN PRAAGH SELLS.
Duluth Ball Team Passes to
Control of J. G. Me-
Greevey.

Through the sale of his stock to ].
c. McGreevey. l.. A. Van Praagh has
finally severed all his connections with
the Duluth baseball club, according to
word received today.
Since moving to Winnipeg ivan" has
retained his stock in the club, and has
been more or less active in the man
agement of its affairs, but he will now
step out. The purchase of Van
Praagh's stock gives Mr.. McGreevey
controlling interest in the club, and
there will probably be some big
changes in baseball affairs before next
season.
Immediately after the close of the
season meeting of the stockholders
will be held, and all who have any in
terest in the club will be given an
opportunity to express their views.
Some changes are also to be made in
the grounds before next year, and If
new ones are not secured, the present
fences will be torn down, the field
thoroughly leveled off, and new fences
erected.
The plans to include st. Paul and
Minneapolis in the circuit next year
will also be taken up after the season
closes, and some big changes are like
ly to be seen in baseball affairs be-
fore another pennant race begins.

LITTLE MARKET CHAT
Pie Season is Here-Cranber-
ries and Other
Fruits.

Cranberry season is coming. The
Cape Cod berries will begin to move
early next week, and the first ship
ment is due to arrive in about ten
days. It looks as if the supply would
be large enough to supply all pie
and sauce demands, and to keep the
turkeys from being lonesome on
Thanksgiving day.
Washington plums are coming for
ward quite freely. The commission
men say the prices are likely to be
as low next week as at any time this
season, SO it behooves the housewife
to lay in a supply for preserving.
There is still a light supply of
peaches. California is about through
shipping, and only few are left to
come forward from Washington. Col
orado peaches will be on the market
the latter part Of next week. 1t is ex-
pected that they will meet with a
ready sale, and at fair prices. The
Michigan crop is not heavy, and the
supply from that state is uncertain. A
few car loads of Elberta peaches in
baskets will arrive within the next
few days.
York state pears in barrels are in
the local market, and selling readily at
full prices.
Crabapples are now in fairly good
supply. The best quality of transcen-
dents are obtainable. The season for
this kind is brief, and is followed later
by the hyslop variety.
There is still liberal supply of
grapes, with an easy market. The
grape crop is good one this year
In all sections, and 1t is expected
that moderate prices will prevail
throughout the season.
No recent changes have been noted
in the apple market, except that it is
slightly firmer. Prices are unchanged
from what they were week ago.
Homegrown tomatoes have put in
an appearance in local wholesale
houses, and there is liberal supply
of them. Dealers advise those desir-
ing tomatoes for preserving purposes
to make their purchases within the
next week or ten days.
The supply of Lake Superior trout
has been larger the last week than for
sometime past. The fish has been
scarce this season, and the companies
have not been in position to supply
more than a part Of the demand for
trout.
Poultry, particularly hens, is scarce,
and prices are rather high.

TO BECOME "DUOES'
Woodsmen Employed in Lum.
Der Camps to Wear "store
Toys"

Twin city tailors and their repre-
sentatives have for years been making
the principle towns of this state and
northern Minnesota taking orders for
suits from samples, the garments be-
ing cut and made In st. Paul. 1t is
reported that new innovation in the
Clothing business will be inaugurated
by a number of merchants this fall,
and If success, 1t will make the old
time lumberjack only memory in this
section.
The new plan is, in fact, to 'tog
out" the lumberjacks and woodsmen
In clothes such as are worn in all up
to-date cities and towns. Hereafter,
when these men come into town to
have "the time of their lives" it will
be hard to distinguish them from any
ordinary citizens who also happens to
be having a good time.
The merchants have decided to send
out tailors at different periods during
the season to all of the big lumber
camps, where they will take measure
ments Of the men and take their or
ders for clothes IL they desire to pur-
chase. The tailors will then return
to the city and report to their en-
ployers who will in turn order the
clothes made to the measure of the
men. In short time the clothes will
be sent out to the camps and the next
trip the boys" make to the city they
will be dressed right up to the minute.
1t will look rather unique to see
party of dozen or more lumbermen
strolling up and down Third street in
their finery.
Whether the woodmen really prefer
to wear rough clothes while in camp,
or whether it is merely because they
are in part of the country where
good clothing can not be purchased,
will be determined by this new expert
ment. Very few of the human race
prefer to wear rough clothing and it
Is more than likely that the plan of
the clothiers will meet with great sue
cess. It shows the enterprise of the
merchants and If the picturesque, old
fashioned, woodsmen must go, the con-
Germs at least will have the benefit.

OFF WATER WAGON
Man Swept Into the River at
Fargo-Rescued With
Difficulty.

Swept out into the river by the swift
current, lodging. the frantic paving
of two frantic stricken horses and lit
orally engaged in battle for life,
charles Burrows had an escape from
death yesterday at Fargo which was
truly marvellous, according to last
evenings Forum.
To the heroic effort of some men
engaged in threshing near the court
house in Moorhead Burrows undoubt-
eddy owes his safety.
Burrows was engaged in driving a
water wagon for George Zimmerman.
whose threshing outfit is employed
near the Clay county courthouse.
Yesterday morning Burrows drove to
the Red river to get some water. He
stopped the wagon at point alone
the river where the bank is about
six feet above the water and very
deep. After placing several barrels
OF water inNhe tank, the wagon COM
menced to slip backwards into the
river. Burrows eXerted every effort to
prevent the wagon from falling into
the stream, but without avail. The
rear wheels passed over the brink and
then the entire wagon and two horses
followed.
The water is very deep at the point
where the accident occurred and the
current is very swift AS a result the
horses and wagon were carried out
into the stream. Burrows sprang into
the water after the horses. He got
hold of the brides of the horses and
attempted to guide the animals ashore.
His efforts were unavailing, however,
and he was rapidly losing his strength
when assistance arrived.
a boy on the bank had seen the
wagon and horses fall into the river
and had promptly given the alarm to
the threshing crew. who hurried to the
river bank. With great difficulty and
no little danger to the rescuers, the
horses, wagon and Burrows were
pulled ashore, between 400 and 500
feet from the point where the wagon
had Slipped into the river.

REBELS

at Cienfugos telegraphs that there are
5000 armed insurgents in that vicinity,
and that all small towns in Santa
Clara province are controlled by in
surgents, who attack and loot trains
and seize the property of foreigners
as we'll as of Cubans. 1t is now esti-
mated there are about 5000 armed in
surgents in the island.
Trinidad is surrounded by insur-
gents, and the government appears
powerless to protect the property of
Americans and other foreigners. Rail-
way trains are held up at will and
passengers searched. The Cuban Cen
trail railway has declined to assume
responsibility for safety of passengers
or freight.
There are many rumors in circula-
ton as to what may happen September
Is, unless new election is granted.
To add to the general apprehension,
American Protestant missionaries of
Havana, who are in general charge of
the field, say that reports from the
missionaries outside of Havana are
practically unanimous in stating that
the insurrection is sweeping all the
country districts in the western half
of the island. The increasing gravity
of the situation has revived a discus
sion of the possibility of intervention
by the United States.
La Discussion, the semi official organ
of the administration, in an editorial
this evening, calls upon the Cubans
to lay down their arms, and save the
republic from the danger of interview
ton. The article appeals to the
patriotism Of the people depicting the
results of intervention. as follows:
Permanent Intervention would be
worse than detah. 1t would be prefer
able IL the Caribbean should engulf
