HON. MOSES f. CLAPP, of the
United States Senate, will address
the people Of Virginia Sunday
evening, June 9, at 500 o'clock on
the Duties of Citizenship, at the
Roosevelt Auditorium. Hon. J..
Adam Bede will also address our
citizens on next Thursday evening.
All are cordially invited to be pres
ent. Among our citizens in the
Range country are many born in
other lands. There are the Scotch,
Swedish, Norwegian, Irish, Greek,
German, English, Slovak, Polish,
Bulgarian, Macedonian, Albanian.
Danish, Austrian, Russian, Finnish,
Dutch, Italian, Spanish, French,
Jewish, Syrian, Chinese, aud few
others. All are here in America to
earn living, enjoy our political
freedom, to catch the American
spirit, learn American ways of do.
ing things and to become good
Americans. One way to help out is
to patronize and sustain the public
schools and to attend the special
closing exercises at commencement
time. More men should make it a
point to attend these exercises than
has been customary in years past.
If our boys are to be kept in school
until they finish, the fathers must
show an interest in the schools az
we'll as the mothers. Therefore we
urge upon our citizens, native and
foreign born, that all show their 10.
cal patriotism and loyalty to the
public schools by attending some
or all of the closing exercises. All
are welcome, and no one should lei
a mere business or pleasure en-.

NOTICE was formally served Mon
day upon the "business houses"
where poker games have been per-
mitted to run at will for several
months past that this form of sport
must be stopped forthwith in Vir-
ginia. The slot machines continue
to do business, however, so the ex-
ceedingly necessary contributions
to the city exchequer will not be
cut off. Don't know what caused
the sudden suddenness in the poker
realm; might have been religious
spasm, or it might have been a
"tip" from Governor Johnson that
there was one official in the state of
Minnesota bigger than the mayor
of any of her cities. ~.

AN alderman at Grand Forks re-
signed his position on Monday be-
cause he could not make his col
leagues come in line on creosoted

He should have stuck for the big
show and kept his eye open for an
opportunity to get even from some
other source.
OUR esteemed editorial brother
of the Biwabik Times, in reading
the Mesaba Ore lecture on
county division, asserts that "the
people of Duluth can no longer be
fooled into voting for the retention
of the county as it exists" The
Times editor is comparatively
new conner to the section, hence his
evident lack of acquaintance with
the principles of Duluthians is ex
cusable. The idea of Duluth voting
to lose an inch of ground or dol
lar of taxation furnished by thu
iron ranges for her support is pre-
posterous. However, we believe
the range vote is today strong
enough to break the chain tina
binds, if united action could be se
cured.

Representative STEVENSON is in
quirips with regard to the possibility
of securing the recommendation of
the department of justice for the
creation of new federal judicial
district in northwest Minnesota with
Fergus Falls as the court town. His
inquiries thus far have not resulted
IN anything promising success. 1t
is understood that the department
of Justice head officials do not regard
the creation Of new district as
necessary.-Crookston Times.
The above is simply appropriating
"thunder' that rightfully belongs to
Bemidji. There has been consider
able quiet talk, during the past three
months, relative to locating a term
of the U. S. court in Bemidji, which
is much nearer the scene of the
many depredations committed on
the Indian reservations, the causes
being tried at Fergus Falls and else
where. Why should the congress.
man favor Fergus Falls more than
Bemidji, the central city of northern
Minnesota, the proper place fol
holding terms of U. S. court?

First Coach Of Train and Every Oc-

More or Less Injured.

Camden, N j.. Dec. 2 Three per-
sons were killed and eighteen injured
In collision on tho elevated tracks
OF the Pennsylvania railroad just out
side the station here when a Pember-
ton accommodation train ran into the
rear Of an Atlantic City express. A
heavy fog was the principal contribu-
tory cause Of the accident. The dead
are G. P. Sontjen, Stanwick, N. j.; H
j. Glarbini, Mount Holly, N. j., and
T. l.. Webster, Merchantville, N. J.
All those killed or injured were pas
sengers in the first car Of the Pember-
ton accommodation train. Both trains
were due in the Camden station at
the same time, the Atlantic City ex-
press having precedence. The fog
was so thick that the engineers of the
two trains were running cautiously
and just outside the station the At
lantic City train was signalled to stop.
The engineer Of the Pemberton train
failed to see the Atlantic City train In
time to avoid collision, but he in
stantly damned his brakes down hard
when it loomed up through the fog.
The sudden jolt forced the tender of
the Pemberton train into the first car,
wrecking it badly and either killing or
injuring everybody in the coach. The
train, however, did not come to full
stop, but slid into the rear Of the At
lantic City express, causing the ten
| der to still further telescope the first
car. The force of the collision was
slight and no one was injured on the
forward train.
Hot Goals from the wrecked locomo,
tive Of the Pemberton train set the
wreckage on fire and it was at first

sengers who were pinioned under the
heavy twisted iron and wood would be
