lost in the big woods for four days

was found by a woman living near the
Kinney mines, three and half miles
northeast of Bull and nine miles from
Chisholm A posse of fifty men had
been securing the country for three
days but they had discovered no trace
of the missing lad and all hope Of find
ing him alive had been abandoned
When discovered the boy was gnaw-
ing crust Of bread which he had
found and was in terrible state as a
result of hunger and exhaustion. The
boys clothing was torn to tatters by
the briers and brambles and oils bare
legs were scratched and bleeding. He
was desperately hunger and about to
fall from exhaustion and loss OF sleep.
Mosquitoes had harrassed him so con.
tinuously day and night he got but
little rest. and his hands, face and legs
were blistered and poisoned from the
bites of the ravenous insects He met
no wild beasts in his wanderings but
during the nights he often heard the
bowling of the timber wolves

About that time six workmen en-
ployed at making skyrockets, roman
candles, devil chasers and such stuff as
fires are made of, started for the near

as good as doors
A box of caps it is believed became
spontaneously ignited. When it let
go, some of the rockets joined in the
commotion. and then the roman can

The engine companies got to the
seat of trouble soon enough to STOP
the spread of the explosion among the
rockets and candles But water did
heavy damage to the Fourth Of July

FIRE IN HEART OF ST. PAUL
THE RYAN BUILDING Is MADE
A TOTAL WRECK By
THE FLAMES.
Every Available Engine is the City
is Called Out and Minneapolis
Sent Three Companies.

ST Paul, June 1s.-One of the most
disastrous fires in the history of the
city broke out in the Ryan building, a
slx-storV structure at Seventh and
Robert streets, at S:37 yesterday morn
ing, and for ten hours the fremen of
the Twin Cities fought to check it
The fire burned steadily from s:37 un-
til midnight, and when extinguished
there was little left of the Ryan build
ing excepting the walls. The property
loss is estimated at $1,000 well COW
cred by insurance The cause of the
fire has not been determined
During the long fight the fremen
suffered heavily, thirty-seven of them
being overcome by the heat and smoke.
The endurance of both men and en-
gines was taxed to the uttermost, and
even after the fire had been bested,
smoldering flames kept many of the
companies at work all night
The fire was discovered at s:35 in the
morning by Patrolman Baer, who mo-
tlced small wreath of smoke curling
from one of the basement windows on
the Seventh street side Soon a second
alarm was turned in and all available
engines were soon on the spot
A call was made upon the Minneap-
oils fire department for assistance and
three companies responded
The Ryan building is a six story
structure built of brick and steel
The first and second floors and a part
of the basement were occupied by the
Palace Clothing company. Forty-two
tenants had rooms in the building.
The Palace Clothing company sustain :
ed the heaviest loss, about $3.50, 900
while the loss on the building. owned
by the New England Mutual Life In
surance company, was about 500, 600.
Other losses ranged from $4,000 to
$1,000 The total loss is well covered
by insurance

The matter Of the governor of a
state while it is important is not to be
compared with the Importance of the
question of who is to make up the
legislature. Minnesota needs strong
men in the legislature. There has
never been time when a legislative
career offered SO many possibilities for
honest and capable citizens to be of
noteworthy service to their state and
their fellows. The pay is small in
money, but it should be large in the
esteem and gratitude of a people that
know what they want, and mean to
get it.

Pure Food Laws.

In another part of the Review may
be seen the resolutions which were
passed by the National Liquor Dealers
Association. These resolutions are
good as far as they go dealing as
they do with pure liquors, but nothing
is said of the impure stuff that is sold
to men as drink when it is worse than
so much poison. We have inyestiga-
lions of food supplies and cry out
against the sanitary condition of vari-
Gus Institutions and are alarmed at
the spread of the microbes OF disease
in various ways. when there is more
to be seen and cured in the line of inn
pure drinks that are found in ali of
the saloons than in any other line of
business in the United States. The
harm of drinking is brought about
more by reason of the authorizations
than by the simple habit of drinking
liquors. In most saloons alcohol,
water and coloring matter are mingled
into different forms, strengths and
colors and labeled as whiskey, claret,
port, sherry, ETC., and most of them
are rank poisons which break down
the minds and health of misguided
persons who consume them with a GER
tainty that needs no suggestion. More
money is spent and more people are
injured through the effects of the sa-
looms than by reason of any other
agency, and it comes from the fact
that they are presumed to be under
the inspection of the government which,
in way is expected to be guarantee
Of the virtue of the stuff that is sold,
when in fact very little attention is
paid to the standard of the drink, the
test OF the grade Or the quality OF
purity. The enactment of pure food
law thatwould compel theliquor dealers
to sell only pure drinks would do more
good than all the resolutions that all
the associations of the country might
pass. If some men knew the ingre-
dents OF some OF the stuff they drink
as whiskey, brandy. etc. they would
be shocked, and yet there is nothing
said or done in regard to the matter
of having this business put on basis
that will insure to the public purity
in the matter of the consumption of an
article for which it pays more than
for any other one thing in the country

MANY BOGUS BANK CHECKS ABROAD
State Bankers Society Gives Timely
Warning.

Throughout this part of the state
there seems to be some person operat-
ing with bogus bank check scheme
that is catching a number of people in
other places and it is possible that he
may be headed this way.
The secretary of the protective COM
mittee of the Minnesota Bankers As
ISOLATION has a number of cases on
hand. One particular fragrant in
stance has been reported of young
man who has been floating worthless
paper by the pound victimizing nuner-
Gus merchants out of sums ranging
from S. to $3.50.
A striking feature of these frauds
which are daily being perpetrated is
that while the checks are cleyerly
drawn they contain inherent evidences
of Worthlessness which might be de-
tected on little reflection. For ex-
ample, checks will be drawn on some
bank where the firm whose name is
forged never trans acted a dollar worth
of business, and these checks have
been cashed in some instances by bust
ness men who must have known better
had they stopped to think moment.
The forgers do their best to keep
abreast of the times in matters of de-
tail affecting their nefarious work.
The ordinary rubber stamp, printing
the name of some firm with a blank
space to be filed in by the manager, =
secretary" or someone authorized to
issue checks, are used in many in
stances. These stamps can bepurchased
at small cost. probably 80 or 40 cents,
and it is no trouble to procure them
from dealers who cannot be supposed
to know whether responsible parties
are ordering them or some embry @
forger.
merchants should keep a sharp
lookout at all times for bogus paper, y
said member OF the bankers associa-
| tien. mot many days elapse until
some fellow tries his hand at the forg-
| ing game That the amounts drawn
are small prevents any great ado be-
ing made about them, but the whole
practice could be reduced to insignif-
can't proportions if merchants would
use little judgment. Instead of look
ing at the man who presents the check
and asking him a lot of questions they
could pick up their telephone and find
out about the check in two minutes.
Just at present there are large
number of fraudulent checks being is
sued in the state. We will probably
round up one of the chief operators in
the game soOn.''

AFFECTED BY COAL STRIKE
Mercer County Train That Was Aban
doned Temporarily Goes On Again
In About a Week.

The railways are taking advantage of
the light traffic of the summer months,
and already the shops at Silvis and
pair work on the power in preparation
for the heavy winter business. Every
day number of engines of the Rock
Island and the Frisco systems are be-
ing sent in to the Silvis shops for gen.
eral repairs and overhauling to fit them
for the winter. This work has been
commenced somewhat earlier than
usual this year. owing to the falling off
in traffic resulting from the coal strike.
The Rock Islands train on the Mer-
Ger county branch, that was discontin-
ued when the mines at Sherrard and
Cable were closed by the strike, will
be put in operation again as soon as
the mines are again operated at their
usual output. The train will probably
not go on again for over a week The
service on the branch has included but
two trains each way daily for nearly
two months.

fectiye on both the Rock Island and

tons at st. Paul with the evening
