Strength

A weak and exhausted condition
usually follows overwork, too
close confinement or unusual men
tai strain. Every day certain
amount of vitality is consumed, and
if not replenished by sleep, rest and
nourishment, soon wrecks the nerv-
Gus system. The results are sleep
lessness, headache, indigestion, i'm
perfect circulation, etc, which at
fects the organs of the body.
Restore your nerve strength
your vitality, with DR.. Miles Nerv-
inc, and your whole system will re-
cuperate. Your sleep will be
sound and refreshing, headaches
will disappear and digestion inn

BERT ANDERSON NOT INSANE. i
Polk County Man Not Mentally I'm.
balanced at Seattle.

3 A CrOOkstOn business man has re-
ceived letter from Mr.. B. o. Ander-
son in which mention is made of the
report received some time ago that
Mr.. AndersOn's mind was unbalanced,
and that he was being held by the
authorities at Seattle awaiting orders
from the Polk county officials Mr..
Anderson, in the letter above men
toned, takes exception to the impress
sion that was given out, and explains
the matter fully. 1t seems that on
his arrival at Seattle he was threat
ened with pneumonia and taken to a
hospital suffering from high fever,
and that while in this condition he be-
came delirious and wandered away
from the hospital without the knowl-
edge of the attendants, and was found
by the police officials while wander
ing the streets in a deliriOus condi-
ton. They, not knowing that he was
a hospital patient, or the nature of his
illness, concluded that he was de-
mented, and finding Crookston papers
on his person notified the authorities.
He was soon located by the hospital
authorities, and returned to that in
stitutiOn, and as soon as he recovered
from the attack of pneumonia and the
fever subsidized, became entirely ra-
tional, and is now in excellent health
except slight weakness resulting from
the pneumonia. He desires that the
erroneous impression created by the
mistake of the police authorities in
telegraphing to Croolston be correct

FOUGHT TO "A FINISH.
Two Newsboys Had It Ont in An
Alley Last Night in the Pres
ence Of Many Spectators.

Buy a Sunday Tribune, mister?"-
These words were the innocent cause
Of one OF the fiercest fights ever seen
between two newsboys of this city
last night at the Great Northern sta
ton. A small boy who was selling
papers on the platform uttered the
above to knight of the grip who was
going by to catch his train. Imme-
,diately another boy who was close by
rushed up and Quitting In got
ahead of the first boy and sold a
paper to-the travelling man. After the
buyer had departed on his way the
boy who was beat out of his sale
started an argument with the seller
and the result was that they proceed
ed to an alley where the police would
not get wind of what was going on
and have one Of the hottest fights
ever pulled off in this city. A large
number of spectators were present,
having been drawn to the scene by the
loud -mouthed participants and much
interest was manifested in the OUT
come. some betting on the result. A
referee was selected by the partici-
pants and the fight was pulled of in
the shortest time possible. The larger
one was almost knocked out in the
very beginning of the tight by the
smaller one, who was the quickest
of the two, but recovered in time to
almost put his opponent out with a
heavy blow. After fighting for about
half an hour the smaller one landed
blow on theSbig boys nose that fin
ished the fight and the fight was then

Hon. w. N. Steele of Rolla, and his

I Toledo, Ohio, are interested in newly
patented thfeshing machine, which, if
1t proves a success, promises to revo-

Of the separator is "a gasoline engine
which is contained within the separa-
tor. The separating is done by CEN
5trifugal force. "A model machine was
built last summer by Robert Gotshall,
"a son of g. ] Gotshall. For. the pur-
pose OF testing the separator, >Messrs.
Steele and Gotshall have entered into

SISTER CT Y
OF OSLO
A Hustiing Little Town which WIN
Come to the Front Within . Very
Short Time-People Are Progressive
and Town is Pushing to tie Front.

Although many people in this town
have business interests in the busting
little town of Oslo, few people out
side of those property owners take an
interest in the town which will surely
rise to the front and when it's time
comes be even with them all. Oslo,
though not year old, has popula-
ton of about five hundred souls, the
majority of whom are in Oslo for
Oslo, and the inhabitants are not half
roustabOuts and floaters. but good.
Industrious citizens who mean we'll.
The 500 railroad was the cause
of Oslo being built up, as that point is
one OF the few places where the 500
crosses the Red River of the North.
On account of the large wheat country
and other industries in close proxim-
lty to the town, it is one of the leading
freight centers of this section of the
country both by rail and by water.
Oslo may we'll be called the sister
city of East Grand Forks, as It was
mainly East Grand Forks citizens who
doomed and built up the busy little
town. Among a few of our citizens
who have industries i'll that city who
were or are local citizens are l. king
man. our local druggist, who owns
large branch drug store there; Louis
Boresn, who owns large emporium;
Kay Frazee, cashier Of the bank of>
that town; and A. J. Hidden, formerly
OF this city, who is mayor of the place
and owns large hardware and gen
eral store there. Altogether Oslo is
one OF the most busy and busting
towns in the northwest for It's size,
and will doubtless come up to the
front within the next few years.

Prof. Hoverstad continued the dis
cussion of potato growing, giving es-
pecial attention to the diseases which
are liable to injure them. He sug-
gested the treatment of seed potatoes
with fOrmaldehyde, and early spray
Ing with a preparation to destroy
blight. He favored the selection Of
standard seed, and gave his method
of growing his seed plants The seed
plant Is, planted in hills four feet
apart and during the summer the
hills having strong, healthy vines are
marked, and when the potatoes are
dug. each hill is kept separate and
then the hills which have uniform
specimens are taken. but not the
large specimens from hills that have
large and small ones.
James Austin of Hannah took up
the subject of raising hogs and in an
informal talk gave many good points.
He suggested the plan of inclosing
hog pasture 'sown with three bush
els Of barley and oats evenly mixed,
one-half bushel filled peas and two
pounds rape seed to the acre.
For winter keeping he advocated
the threshing of a straw rick over an
open end box, so that the animals can
get through this under the straw rick
where they will keep both dry and
warm.
Hogs should be ready for market
at six months of age and should then
weigh 200 pounds, and at eight months
$50 pounds. For the preservation of
meat on the farm Mr.. Armstrong gave
the following recipe, and stated that
it had been tried and not found want
ing. The recipe follows: One and
one-half pounds salt, one pound sugar
one-half ounce saltpeter, one gallon
water. Boil, skim and cool. 1t keeps
the meat fresh and adds to the flavor.
AS money makers hogs convert
much of the waste on the farm into
marketable products which could not
be done in any other way.
There will be session in the court
room tonight and the meetings on to-
morrow and Wednesday will be held
at the same place.

will Assume Duties March LIST.

1t is quite probable that John Peter
son, who was recently appointed re-
ceiver of the Crookston United States
land Office will take up the duties con-
nected with the Office about the first
of March. 1t is very seldom that any
changes are made in the middle of the
month in such Offices as it would be
exceedingly difficult to check up the
books at such time. Mr.. Peterson's
bond has been sent in to the interior
department and will be considered by
the officials there for some time On
account of the fact that there are two
United States repositories in Crooks
ton at the present time his bond has
been reduced from $4,000 which Mr..
George, who is now holding the office,
put up to $4,000. BY having the q.
S. repositories it is not necessary to
carry such large amounts as has been
the case heretofore.

TRICK
Swindler Uses Check as Means to
Bunco Unsuspecting yictim-Chief
Lowe After the Culprlt-No Clue to
His Identity.

His Identity.
Saturday afternoon. about 4:3O
o'clock Chief of Police Lowe was noti-
fled of clever bit of swindling
which had just occurred at the Cliff
ford annex. L. G. Stroebo of North
wood was the victim. He met a
stranger at the Great Northern
station who proved to be a merchant
from the town in Minnesota which
Mr.. Stroebo was enroute to visit. AS
they arrived in front of the Clifford
building, the stranger remembered
that he was going to pay a $40 freight
bill. He had nothing but check for
5000 and was on his way to cash it,
could his friend let him have $40
until they arrived at the bank, it
would save walking" etc. Stroebo
produced the twenty and the newly
made friend went into the Clifford
building and has not come back to
date.
The matter was reported to the
police at once but as yet they have
not captured the man. Stroebo is
being held but the police force does
not expect to pick up the smooth
individual on account of the publicity
which the matter has been given.
This is the operators second
t, *. A few months ago he worked
trick of the same kind which has
been played at the same place. A man
by the name of Johnson from Lakota
arrived in the city under the same
circumstances. He was met in the
same way and touched for $25 to pay
a freight bill by merchant from
Lakota, a new man and one whom
Johnson did not know as he lived in
the country. Chief Lowe is working
hard on the case and will land the
bunco. steerer If he possibly can.

Jack Claims That Employment
Bureaus Are Fakes,

Last night a queer character who
gave his name as Jack Simpson ar
rived on the East bound train and i'm
mediately told tale of woe to any
listeners who cared to act as an au-
dlence. He claims that he was hired
out by an employment agency in st.
Paul to work in the woods at salary
of $50 month and board and signed
contract to that effect When he
came to draw his wages the lumber
men would not pay him more than $26
and although he showed his contract
could not get cent more. Jack then
claims that he threw up his job and
quit them cold. While speaking of
the affair he had the following to say
on the matter: "Shure oi didn't care a
snap for the money but oi amt going
to let any spalpeen cheat me out Of
any money. Oh came from ireland SO

itself.
The Ohio is now cruising about Kor-
ca and he has witnessed some of the
battles that took place between the
Japs and Russians and has had many
other experiences that will be of value
to him in after years. He reports the
climate as being much the same as in

He tells of the rousing welcome that
was given the Taft party and Miss
Roosevelt when they visited that coun-
try and the many strange plans that
were carried out for them.

Beyond With Scarcely Moments
Warning-Frlends In Both Cities
Mourn.
This morning the people of both the
east and west sides were shocked to
learn by telegraph of the sudden
death of A. J. Gallagher at St. Paul.
Mr.. Gallagher went to St. Paul last
Thursday. and enjoyed good health
until IL o'clock last evening when he
was taken i'll and died at 5 O'Clock
this morning. A telegram to his
partner, NJ. Lynch, announcing his
death, at o'clock, was the first init
nation received in the city that he
was ill.
Last Thursday Mr.. Gallagher re-
ceived telegram calling him to St
Paul to attend the bedside of a sick
uncle. He went down Thursday
night and was in his usual good
health, although he has been q SUI
fer from rheumatism of the heart for
some time. He had been in attend
ance at the bedside of his uncle some
time, stopping at the Merchants hotel.
He went to bed last evening, appar-
emily in good health At II O'Clock
he called the night clerk and was suf-
fering from severe pain in his left
side. A physician was called and he
shortly lapsed into Inconsistencies
and died at o'clock this morning.
The interment will be made ut St.
Paul but the funeral arrangements
have not yet been completed.
Mr. Gallagher came to Grand Forks
and settled on the east side in 1891.
He was raised in st. Paul, as one of
the members of the household of
Archbishop Ireland. On his arrival
in Grand Forks, at the age of "a, he
hired out to w. 7. Franklin as. a bar
tender In 1896 he formed partner
ship with NJ. ]. Lynch and begun
business for himself under the firm
name OF Lynch 4 Gallagher. He has
made a host of friends not only in
Grand Forks and ST. Paul but over
the northwest as we'll. He was
prince of good fellows, and the entire
city is sincerely mourning the loss
of public spirited and progressive
citizen.
