Tho First House Of Commons.

The earliest traces Of the English
house Of commons are found in the
year 1895. That year Simon de Mont
fort, earl Of Leicester, caused writs to
be Issued in the kings name requiring
each sheriff Of county to return to
a parliament which he proposed to
hold two knights for the shire under
his Jurisdiction, two citizens for each
city within its limits and two bur-
gesses for each borough. The parlia-
ment thus called met in London on
Jan. %, 1865, and was practically the
first In which the people, as dis
tinguished from the nobility and
aristocracy, had ever participated. 1t
was not until the revolution of 1858,
however, that the people were fairly
and squarely represented In parlia-
ment. The house Of commons is to-
day the supreme power in England.
Its will is law, the lords and king be-
ing, as Walter Bagehot long ago de-
clared, men ORNAMENTAL" The power
Of the crown in England Is merely
nominal, as is that also Of the house
Of lords. When the people speak out
loudly through their house Of COM
mons, that as general rule settles it.

GREAT POSTAL ROBBERY
Mails Sacks Containing About
$250,000 Disappear.

Lincoln, Neb., Aug. ..-Three mail
sacks said to contain about $780,
900 disappeared from Burlington
train Sunday night between Denver
and Oxford, Neb. The postoffice Of
flcials have just made the theft public.
The train left Denver with seven sacks
and but four remained when it reached
Oxford. Detectives and postofice Of
ficials are at work on the case.
Superintendent J. M. Butler Of the
Sixth division Of railway mail clerks
believes the robbery took place just
west Of the Nebraska line. Both mail
clerks were asleep while the train was
passing long stretch of track with
few stations. Butler believes some
one slipped into the mail car and
threw the sacks out of the window.
He has ascertained that the valuables
were all In two Of the sacks, one be-
ing empty
Seven sacks Of registered mail were
placed on the Kansas City train leav-
ing Denver over the Burlington Sun
day night. These sacks were destined
for Chicago and were supposed to be
placed on the Chicago train at OK
ford, Neb. Three of the registered
sacks were missing when Oxford was
reached.
Postoffice officials have all been
warned to be cautious about giving
out information on the robbery.

The Minnesota State Fair track has
the worlds record for the fastest mile
ever made by harness horse-the
mile made by Dan Patch last year in
1855. Dan will go again on Monday of
fair week, trying to again lower this
wonderful mark. On Thursday, Sept.
5, Sweet Marie-as great as a trotting
mare as Dan is as a pacing stallion
will endeavor to lower her worlds
record of 200 without a pace maker.
Other great horses will be in the
races spurred by the large purses and
the reputation of the track as fast
one.
At last practical airship has been
constructed and the state fair man.
agement has secured it for flights
three times each day during fair week.
1t will be on exhibition between times
and when it flies it will circle the
grand stand and occasionally visit the
adjacent cities. This will be the first
opportunity of the Northwestern pub.

AGAIN SCORES REV. LONG
Second Attack by President on INA
ture Fakers."

New York, Aug. 2.l.-The nature
takers" have once more come under
the fire of President Roosevelt. He
discharges whole broadside of crit
icism and ridicule against them in an
article, written by his own hand, in
the September number of Everybody's
Magazine.
Mature Fakers," such is the simple
title Of the contribution, which consti
tutes as vigorously expressed bit Of
censure as the president has penned
for some time. Particular attention
is paid to Rev. William j. Long as a
prominent "faker," the clergyman be-
ing scored decisively. President
Roosevelt advises a course of barn.
yard study for the takers" who
make such startling discoveries in
the Wilderness" it being pointed out
that such course would have very
enlightening influence on them. Re-
ferring to Mr.. Long individually the
president hits out in this fashion:
"Of all these nature takers the
most reckless and least responsible Is
Mr. Long, but there are others who
run him close In the yellow journal
Ism of the woods as John Burroughs
has aptly called it."

raised in the northwest have met with
striking success, and its work for edu-
cation IN dairying matters, horticul-
ture, agriculture and improved prac-
tice in all the details of farm manage
ment, has been eminently efficient.
In accord with this policy the practi-
cal farm departments of this years
fair will be developed carefully and
will be more than ever of practical
benefit. Last year the great livestock
amphitheater was opened for the first
time. This brought to the attention
of the breeding world the enterprise of
the northwest and such a collection of
cattle as was never seen before will
be gathered this year at the Minnesota
fair as result. Besides the ordinary
classes the American Short Horn
Breeders Association will hold in con-
nection with the state fair a national
exhibition of short horns and there
will be special premiums for Minne-
sofa raisers of this breed. Auction
sales of Shorthorns and Herefords will
be features of the week.
The greatness and Importance of the
dairy industry of the state is recog-

lie to see real, successful, navigable
airship-the things which man had
been unsuccessfully trying to invent
for 5000 years.
A great program of special acts will
be given each afternoon in: front of tho
grand stand, and each day there will
be g section of the thrilling ladies'
relay riding race with sensational
changes at the end of each mile before
the grand stand. r.. -. n
The evening entertainments at the
Minnesota fair are now famous. This
year the pyrotechnic spectacle will be
called "The Siege of Jericho" and
will conclude with much the best dis
play OF fireworks ever seen at the state
fair or anywhere in the west. Racing
by electric light and marvellous special
platform acts under the rays of battle
ship searchlights will fill up wonder
full evening program every night Of the
fair.
Saturday afternoon Is to be given up
to automobile racing and will be one
of the most popular days Of the week.
Barney Oldfield and other riders Of
international reputation will be on
hand.

Bamboo Pole Pals.

i The Moros, who live In the matched
houses built along the shore of lake
or river, have curious way Of con-
veying water from the lake or river
to their Filipino kitchens. They use
large bamboo sticks from which have
been removed all the partitions char
acteristic Of the bamboo, leaving only
one at the bottom. The bamboo trunk
Is thus made to serve the purpose Of
bucket. It Is like long narrow pail
and holds several gallons Of water, for
the bamboo trunk is quite thick. The
Moro women are the water carriers,
as this Is part of the household du-
ties which naturally fall to them. They
grind the rice and other grain in a
large followed out log, using heavy
pole to crush the kernels.-New York
