SAW NORTHWEST CANADA;
he WANTS none IN HIS
Arthur Edgeley of Crookston Tells of
Undesirable Conditions Which
He Saw There.

And still the malcontents who
visit Canada give their adverse
impressions concerning the Can
adian Northwest, and the advis,
ability of moving from good old
Minnesota to that over estimated
country.
Arthur Edgeley of Crookston
recently returned from a trip to
Canada, and he says concerning
his impressions, gained while on
the trip:
"The thing that struck me
most was the dead stock I saw
lying along the track. 1t was
something awful. Hundreds of
carcasses were strewn along the
road where they had been frozen
or starved to death.
"The country about Calgary
while it is advertised as a stock
country, should really be called
a horse raising country, as cattle
do not thrive there. Another
thing, the price of hay is prohib-
tive, being from $18 to $22 per
ton and at the present time it is
500 per ton.
1.-THE stock there at the present
time is in very poor condition.,
many of the animals being
scarcely able to walk. OF course
they will pick up later, but it will
take all summer to get them in
good condition again.
'Another thing against that
section of the country is the cost
of living. The wages are good,
but everything is very high.
Canned goods such as tomatoes,
corn, peas, etc., are two and
three times as high as they are
here.
"Another very funny thing is
that while you can ship two cars
of goods from here there for $40
to get them back will cost you
$500, so that a second thought is
best, before heading that way"

ASKS FOR new trial.
Standard Oil Company Attacks
Legality Of Elkins Law.
VIOLATES THE CONSTITUTION

Oeprives Shippers Of the Liberty and
Right to Transport Goods From One
Section Of the United States to
Another.
Chicago, May An presenting ar
guments on his motion for a new trial
in the Standard Oil case, recently de-
cided against that company in the
United States district court, Attorney
John S. Miller declared ~ the Elkins
act, as applied to interstae shipments,
is In violation of the fourteenth article
Of the, Constitution Of the United
States.
The attorney announced at the COM
menoement Of his argument that, with
out prejudice to the motion Of a new
trial, he would make motion for an
arrest Of judgment.
It was claimed by Mr.. Miller that
the government, during the trial, failed
to prove the material declarations of
the indictments. He said no com
petent testimony was introduced which
warranted the submission of this case
to the Jury.
He further declared that the Elkins
law, as applied to interstate ship.
ments III this case, is in violation of
the Constitution because it deprives
shippers of the liberty and the right
~ <N@0a TO-. In
another in this country.
Attorney Miller then reviewed the
evidence in detail. It is probable that
the arguments in behalf of new trial
will consume day or two.

SPLENDID TO USE.

II ~
This IS the month to rid the
system of Blood disorders
OF all kinds, Of which Rheu-
matism is the most prevail
ent symptom and hardest
to overcome during the win.
ter months, when the kid.
neys have failed to filter
out the uric acid and other
waste matter.
A we'll known authority
writes that the worst forms
of Rheumatism, Blood dis
orders, also kidney and
Bladder weakness are often
readily relieved and pre-.
vented during an entire
year by taking for a little
while one teaspoonful of the
following mixture after
meals and at bedtime, viz:
Fluid Extract Dandelion
one.half ounce, Compound
Kargon one ounce, Com.
pound Sarsaparilla three
> ounces.
A local druggist states
that these are harmless in.
gradients, which any good
prescription phar macy can
supply, and anyone can cas-
lily mix them at home by
shaking in a bottle.
It is said by many of the
old folks, that the above
mixture, if taken during
this month, will add years
to life and prevent many a
sick and miserable day dur.
ing the year.

Hiehwaymen Commit Murder.

Chicago, May 3.-The first murder
of the prolonged holdup season is re-
ported from South Chicago. High

ley, a machinist, twenty-three years
old. Lindley was on his way home
when he was stopped by two men,
who were seen running away after
the shooting. It is supposed they
were robbers, as Lindley's coat peck
cts were turned inside out.

BLOCKS BUILDING INDUSTRY
Lockout Of Several Thousand
Men at Philadelphia.

Philadelphia, May 4.-As a result of
a dispute among the labor unions rep
resenting the bricklayers, stonema-
sons and granite cutters of this city
work on many buildings is suspended
by an order of the master bricklayers,
who decided to stop work until the
unions can come to an agreement.
About 4,400 workmen are affected, but
If the suspension continues for more
than a week about 10000 men of the
building trades will be forced into idle
ness.
Neither wages nor hours are in
volved. The dispute concerns the lay
ing of stone after it has been made
ready by the granite cutters. The
masons, reinforced by the bricklayers,
with whom they are affiliated, hold
they should lay the stone, while the
granite cutters, supported by the
builders, claim they should not only
cut the stone but lay It,

CALLS It NONSENSE
President Roosevelt So Character
lies Third Term Talk.
THINKS He HAS SAID ENOUGH
Not Likely That Any Formal State
ment Will Be Issued Reiterating His
Position on the Subject Of His Re-
nomination in 1908
Washington, May 4. President
Roosevelt characterizes as absolute
nonsense the talk Of nominating and
electing him for third term.
Mr.. Roosevelt has talked freely with
several of the callers at the White
House on this subject. He made it
plain, however, that he will not come
out in any formal statement on the
subject of third term. He considers
that what he said Immediately follow
Ing the election in 1904 and what he
has said subsequently should suffice.
He thinks he should be taken at his
word and let it go at that.
In way the agitation for q third
term is of considerable advantage to
him at the present time as a political
asset and will aid him in keeping con-
troll Of his campaign to force the adop-
tion of his policies at the next conven-
ton. It will also continue to keep him
as the dominating influence in the Re-
publican party and give him a strong
leverage in naming his successor and
debating the next party platform.
Those who were present when he
talked about the third term" senti-
ment and stated that from his stand
point it would be absolute nonsense"
for him to give it any encouragement
were convinced that he meant every
word ne,said and that he would refuse
the nomination if it were rendered
him by the national convention.
