DECLARED FOR REVISION.
Senator knute Nelson Talks on Tariff
atFergus. Falls.

Fergus Falls, Oct. Ex-senator Knute
Nelson delivered vigorous address in
this city Thursday evening, in the
course of which he discussed the posi-
ton taken by the two great political
parties on the tariff, trusts and finances
the past twenty years or more, and in
cidentally came out strongly in favor
of traiff revision.
The senator outlined the history of
tariff legislation and showed how the
democratic tariff bill had. plunged the
country into commercial and financial dis
tress. and how republican tariff legisla-
ton had resulted in prosperity. Con-
tinuing he said that the present tariff
law had been in operation nine years,
and that conditions had changed and
that personally, he believed that some
of the schedules should be revised.
He believed further that President
Roosevelt, regardless of all that had
been said, was revisionist at heart,
and that but for the pressure of other
issues would have advocated revision be-
fore this The senator held that the
just measure OF tariff protection was the
difference in the cost of producing an ar
ticle here and Abroad tariff sufficient
to protect the American manufacturer
and the American workingman against
the cheaper foreign labor, and his audi
ence was in hearty accord with him.

AN 0L0-TlME BIBLE.
Fergus Falls Man Has One Six Thou
sand Yeaes Old.

Fergus Falls, Oct. BE. j. OXley
of this city has a rare curiosity, "a Bur-
mese Bible that is unquestionaDly
worth a small fortune The book, if
such it may be called, is about eighteen
inches in length, and the leaves are two
and half inches in width and trihc
thicker than ordinary still paper. When
fastened together they make n volume
about FIVE inches thick. The leaves are
sections of palm leaf, paper being IN
known until several Thousand years
after this particular book was made,
and the characters are delicatcls cut in
to the leaves, so that there is no such
thing as fading
The book was given Mr.. Oxley by
Sergeant Fred Stokes of the English
army, who took it from Burmese tenn
pie in the English Burman war CT TWEEN
ty-five years ago. Mr.. Oxlcy, who is
himself an Englishman, had occasion to
visit his native land five or six years
ago, and Sergeant Stokes made him a
present of the book as he was returning
to America. The sergeant had :aken a
small Burmese god from the same tenn
pie and the temple and village, We're
then burned by the soldiers. Neither
he nor Mr.. Oxley regarded the book as
anything more than an ordinary curl
, osity at the time the present was made.
The first intimatiOn that Mr.. OXley
had as to its real value was given him
by Burmese lecturer, to whom he
showed it a few months ago. The man,
on seeing it, bluntly told the owner
that he never came by any such book
as that honestly; that it could not be
held as private property in Bnrmah,
and that it was kept sacred and never
handled except by the higher orders of
! the priesthood. He stated that it had
taken at least one man a lifetime to
carve the. curious characters, and that
the book was at least 5000 years old.
He offered Mr.. Oxley 5000 for it, but
he had already told him too much
about it and the offer was promptly de-
clined He then offered $500, and this
I offer was also declined
The lecturer, before leaving town,
told some friends that the book would
sell for several thousand dollars if it
were offered to the right person. Local
ministers and others have had some of
the leaves photographed and are send
ing them to the Smithsonian institu-
tion at Washington and to eastern
scholars with a view to having them
translated The lecturer, who wished to
purchase the book. stated that it was
the only one of its kind in America,
and probably the only copy of that par
tic,Ilar section of what may be termed
the Burmese scriptures. in existence.

Joseph Landkamer In Busi-

WILL REMAIN IN THE CITY,.
lamm l. Landkamar TO Conduct the
Furniture Store and Late Partner
Undertaking Establishment.
from Fridays Daily.


An important business transaction
which has been pending for the last two
weeks, was closed today. Lamm, Land
kamer & Hohmann, who own the big
furniture store on Front street and the
magnificent undertaking establishment
on Walnut street, have dissolved part
nership. Mr.. Joseph Landkamer will
hereafter own and operate the undertake
ing establishment, and Lamm & Hob
mann will own and conduct the furni-
ture store. The circumstances leading
to this transaction are about as follows:
Two weeks ago Lamm, Landkamer Il
Hohmann's undertaken left for Seattle
to engage in the undertaking business
for himself The firm had engaged
competent, experienced undertaken, Mr..
Thomas Hamp of Eau Clair, Wis, who
is now in, charge, and lives, above the
undertaking parlors. In discussing mat
tiers pertaining to the undertaking es-
tablishment. which is the finest equip
ped of it's kind in the northwest, the
owners thought that on account OF the
large capital invested some one of the.
firm shonld have direct oversight over
this establishment. As the store and
undertaking establishment are so far
apart, this could not well be done. Mr.
Landkamer, thereupOn, made his part
ners a proposition to take over the I'M
dertaking establishment. After consider
ing the matter for several days, Messrs.
Lamm & Hohmann accepted Mr.. Land
kamers proposition, whereby the owner
ship of undertaking establishment passes
to Mr.. Landkamer. and the furniture
store to Lamm & Hohmann.
Mr.. Landkamer will hereafter devote
his entire time and energy to the under.
taking establishment. His new under
taker, Mr.. Hamp, is a courteous, pleas
ant gentleman. and together they -sAt
give the direction of funerals their most
careful attention. Any and all orders
entrusted them will be promptly and
! faithfully executed.
Mr.. Otto Lamm and Mr.. John HI. job
mann will continue to run the furniture
store under the firm name of Lamm 4
/ Hohmann. They, too. will devote their
sole attention to the management of the
furniture store, and as heretofore will al
ways carry larger stock of goods, sell
at lowest possible prices and give their
customers, careful and polite attention
Messsrs. Lamm, Landkamer & Hob
mann also take this means to thank
their friends and the public in general
for past favors, and under the new con-
dition of affairs, they ask continuance
of their patronage.
The Free Press extends it's best wishes
to the firm of Lamm & Hohmann and
also to Joseph Landkamer, who is a
pleasant gentleman with known bust
ness ability. May all succeed and pros
per.
