DRY COUNCIL TO THE EMPER.
oR-scHEME HOPELESS.

st. Petersburg, July 24.--The way
has been prepared for military die
tatorship by proposition now under
consideration at Peterhof to create an
advisory council to assist the em-
peror.
Premier Stolypin, General Trepoff
and others are today comforting with
the emperor upon this subject On the
surface the scheme is to form such
council out of the members of the
council of the empire and conserva-
tives and liberals like Shipoff and
Guchkoff and also possibly several
constitutional democrat leaders with
the purpose of reassuring the popula-
ton of the sincerity of the govern
ment's future intentions
NJ. Stolypin evidently belisves sin
cerely that the plan is achievable but

Woodmen's Day Was the Great Attraction at
the> North Dakota State Fair Tuesday
Governor Sarles Welcomed the AK Swingers;
Grand Forks Will Be at the Fair Tomorrow

The second day of the fair opened
under no less happy auspices than the
first, with this difference. that the
crowds began coming in much earlier
BY 81: 80 a. m. all the cars coming out
to the fair grounds were well filled
and before 10 o'clock they were pack
ed and jammed. People poured into
the gates in streams and filled the ex-
hlbit places, so that long before noon
there were as many people on the
grounds as there had been in the late
afternoon of yesterday.
The red, white and green badges of
the Woodmen were to be seen every
where about the grounds and many
had with them their wives, children
and friends
The Woodmen.
Woodmen stormed and took possess
sion of the city and of the state fair
today. Great crowds of them began
coming into the city at an early hour
and by o'clock there was an immense
throng about the l.. x. temple, the
headquarters, where every x-swinger
was requested to register. The grand
parade, the first big event of the day,
began to form shortly after the sched-
uled hour of o'clock, and it was q
very representative procession. Bod
les of delegates from lodges all over
North Dakota as well as many from
different towns in Minnesota were
present and so great We're the num-
bers that it was found necessary to
have the procession organize in the
open square near the Waldorf.
The Parade.
From here the big procession, head
ed by the Lisbon state band, started
for the fair grounds about 10 o'clock.
ii was Estimated that over 1000 AK
swingers were in line and the parade
was a most imposing affair. Follow
ing the band came several carriages
occupied by high officials of the order,
officers of the local lodge and Govern
or Sarles, and after that a number of
lodges in marching order, each headed
by it's banner. Many of these bodies

INSURANCE swlNpLE.
Clever Scheme Was Accidentally FOIL
ed BY 4 Mistake on Draft.

Bemidji, July 24.--An insurance.
swindle which has no parallel In the
history of insurance orders in the state
Of Minnesota was that which recently
came to light in this city. A woman
giving her name as Mrs. Jennie An
derson passed herself ffas Mrs.
Jennie Anderson, wife of Andrew e.
Anderson, deceased, and member of
the Little Falls lodge Ancient Order
United Workmen. BY thus misrepre-
senting herself the fraudulent Mrs.
Jennie Anderson secured the cash on
d certificate due Mrs. Jennie Anderson,
the beneficiary, and a respected lady
of this city
1t was only a providential mistake
that the greater amount of this was
held from the wrong person and a
mistake which seldom happens in
banking circles. The draft when tax
en- to the bank to cash was casned by
giving 5000 In cash and the balance
of $1,400 was paid by draft for ST.
400, BY the merest chance of fortune
slight mistake was made In the is
suance of the draft and when present
ed by the wrongful parties for pay
ment the paying bank returned same
for collection. The draft has been re-
ceived here and will be held by the
bank until the difficulty is settled.
1t has later developed that Mrs.
Jennie Anderson. the fraudulent claim
ant, IL notorious character, who has
been implicated In several shady
transactions, and one of the witnesses
to the supposed proof death of ner
husband has absconded with her, and
when last heard of was at Escanaba,
Michigan.
A warrant has been sworn out for
her arrest and she will probably be
brought back for trial.

were in uniform and the procession
was most imposing one.
Attracted Attention.
With their neat and attractive uni
forms of brown shirts black pants and
white caps and leggings members of
the Lisbon camp attracted much at
tention and the goat which they took
with them as a mascot also came in
for considerable notice from the
crowds who lined the route of the pro-
.cession.
Members of Milnor camp in their
handsome dark blue military uniforms,
also made a very favorable impress
sion as did Hazel camp from Moor
head. Audubon camp, of Audubon,
Mimi, and Eowdon camp of Bowdon,
N. d., presented very attractive ap-
pearance. Interspersed among the
uniformed bodies were large bodies
of marching delegates wearing red,
white and green badges.
From the starting point the pro-
cession proceeded to the fair grounds,
where it arrived about 1O:45. entering
the main gate.
Before reaching the grounds few
of the husky ax-swingers grew weary
of marching, fell out of line and took
the street cars for the remainder of
the distance. but the great majority
persevered and the procession which
entered the grounds was a large one.
From the entrance the Woodmen pro-
ceeded to the grandstand, where they
were obliged to wait a short time for
the conclusion of the ball game before
continuing with their scheduled pro-
gramme.
Exercises at the Fair Grounds.
AS soon as the grandstand was
cleared of ball fans following the close
of the game, it filled, rapidly with
Woodmen and their friends who had
come to participate in the exercises
of the day, members of the order be-
ing given free seats. It. II. McEnroe

"Edward S. Mcdonald of Valley City
entered two Maxwell cars, II. b. Al.
len acting as chauffeur for one and AL
bert Mason for the other. Against
these two, was pitted George Samp-

away pretty well together but the
Oldsmobile somehow had bad time

lap and losing SO much ground that
it was practically out of the race
Sampson kept on pluckily, however,
and after the first lap held his own
with the smaller of the two Maxwells

The big red 10: horsepower Max

TO be by far the fastest machine

the second lap and from that time on
fairly walked away from the others,
finishing over lap ahead. The strug-

would have been very pretty had not

proud of the order. In the course of
his brief address he referred to the
fact that the order is the largest fra
ternal organization in the world, hav-
