bile Monday night but he skipped out
and has not been arrested. He was
doubtless going to assist the yeggmen
to escape. There does not seem to be
any doubt but what a gang of profess
sional burglars has been rounded up
and the capture is an important one.
The men were arraigned before JUS
tice Rearick Tuesday afternoon, one
charged with carrying concealed
weapons the other for having explo-
sives and other burglar fixings in his
possession. They were bound over
to the district court under the names
of J. II. Bell and Frank L. Graham
bond being fixed at 81, 900 each which
not furnished. They are determined
looking men and are perfectly fami-
liar with court doings. They are very
reticent and do not say word about
their movements or business. Officers
all oyer the state have been notified Of
the capture and we feel sure that they
will be claimed for some more serious
crime before long. Federal officers
and detectives will come to Coopers-
town and try and identify the prison
ers. Cooperstown citizens can con-
gratulate themselves on this impor-
tant capture and it is only by the
prompt action of our local officials
and citizens that either thissstown or
some other close to has escaped q
Wholesale burglary. To oil those who
assisted in the capture great credit is
due.

Lille" Dowie, one of the greatest
impostors the world has ever known,
is dead. Dowie was the king of
fanatics. This does not necessarily
mean that he was fanatic in per-
sonam, but he welded such power
over the horde of confdantes who
worshiped him as the reincarnated
Elijah that they placed all : their
worldly possessions at his feet and he
squandered them. Dowie was both a
despot and an arch CRATER, but his
sins eventually caused his fall, and
he was unceremoniously dethroned.
Ere this he has probably been given
an opportunity to prove up on his
claim that he was reincarnation of
the good prophet Elijah. The world
is far better without such rascals as
the late John Alexander Dowie.

A Sane Forestry Measure.

The sanest forestry measure ever
proposed to the Minnesota legislature
is that introduced by Representative
G. B. Miller of this city. It has been
reported out of committee with a ia
vorable recommendation.
This bill practically follows sug-
gestion made by the News Tribune
some months ago. It provides for a
board to be named by the state audi
tor, treasurer and forestry commits
sioner, to employ competent persons
to examine such vacant land of the
United States in Minnesota as is
deemed expedient and to report in
writing it's character. .-..
From this data will be determined
what tracts are fit only for forestry.
Any state land adjoining the govern
ment land SO examined may be in
cluded in the inspection on the ap-
proval of the state auditor. s~
The reports of the examiners are to
be filed with the auditor and sum-
mary of them included in report of
the recommendations of the board to
the next legislature. The bill carries
an appropriation of $4,000.
This is sensible and the only sat-
isfactory method of determining what
public lands there are in the state that
should be devoted to tree culture. It
will separate them from the great
body of agricultural land which here
tofore it has been the effort of the for
estry enthusiasts to include in some
great reserve that would blanket
whole counties.
The examiners will undoubtedly find
hundreds of thousands of acres of
land that properly should be set aside
as forest reserves. These lands are
rough and rocky or full of gorges and
hills. They cannot be turned by the
pillow and no one but a Japanese could
make them bear a living crop of any
thing except pine.
These lands will be in more or less
disconnected tracts, but in consecutive
areas large enough for profitable for
estry, and more easily guarded from
fires than the monster reserves of I'M
broken forests that fill the minds eye
OF those who would place forestry
above agriculture and trees superior
to men. -Duluth eNews-T ibune.

Snide Farm Papers.
Speaking of farm papers, there are
those worthy of the name. But there
are others-those for instance that are
owned partly or in whole by advertis-
ing agencies or mail order houses and
edited by persons who know as much
about practical farming as the shears
that do the clipping. Then there are
those that build up lists for advertis-
ing purposes by means of cheap and
trashy gifts and keep up the list, not
through merit, because they have
none, but by refusing to discontinue
sending the paper when requested to
do so, trusting to successful "blufing''
for pay. Numerically these two kinds
of farm" papers constitute the ma
jority, and they are about as bene-
fetal to farming communities as are
other kinds of parasites that infest
them.-Anoka Free Press.

CHURCH NOTES

The sermon at the Presbyterian
church last Sunday was on the text
found in Isaiah 62:2. Thou shalt
be called by new name, which the
mouth of the Lord shall name. The
subject was to show the great advan-
tage Of being named after the Savior
Of the world.
The name of man has much to
90 with his life and especially that OF
the Christian. Paul said Let every
one that nameth the name Of Christ
depart from iniquity,' 2 Tim. 2;l9,
Frequently men sry that they are
not Christians, thinking it is an hon
or to be reckoned among those who
deny Christ. In the last day it will
make all the difference what "a man =
name is.
The question that decides our
eternal fate is whether or not we are
named after the name of Christ. If
we have the name Of Christ stamped
upon US, We will be saved by Christ.
If not We will be eternally lost.

will begin at the Baptist church.
