Bank Robbed.

Correll, Mimi, Oct. 6.-The State
Bank of Correll, which is sixteen
miles east of Ortonville on the Mil
waukee road, was broken into by bur-
glars at o'clock in the morning, the
marauders taking away 81 900 in gold,
silver and paper currency. The
building was completely wrecked by
the explosives used by the robbers.
Two men are supposed to have
committed the deed, one was large
and the other small. Otherwise there
is not the slightest clue as to the
identity of the men.
The bank is owned by Ferch Bros.
of Odessa.

MAY OBEY LAWS.
Rumored the Stancard Oil Company
Seeks Peace With the State.

St. Paul, Oct. 16.-Will the STAN
dard Oil company'a avoid legal strug-
gle in Minnesota by compliance with
the law?
1t was rumored that the big cor
poration was ready to make peace
with the state with pledge to obey
the anti-discriminatio law, passed
last winter, to the letter. This law
was passed at the instance of the in
dependent oil dealers, who now have
a complaint filed with the attorney
general, alleging violations of the
law. They claim that oil is sold in
country districts much higher than
the same grades are sold in the cities,
where the Standard cuts to meet the
Independents.
If the Standard changes it's policy
and complies with the law, there will
be no object for the independents to
press their complaint. 1t would do
them no good, even if the state won
the suit and had the Standards char
ter revoked in Minnesota. The trust
has plenty more corporations that
could look after the Minnesota trade.

CUBS ARE WORLD CHAMPIONS.
Chicaqos Win Pennant by Beating De-
troits Four Times.

Detroit, Mich, Oct. 14.-Chicago's
champions are worlds champions as
well as twice champions, and for the
first time in baseball history the big
pennant, symbolic of everything that
is best in the nations greatest sport,
will float over Chicago's National
league ball park next season.
For Chances warriors made them
selves world beaters beyond all pos
sibility or mischance Saturday by
winning their fourth straight victory
over Detroit's American league cham
pions. The score was to 0, and that
put four knots in the Tigers tail.
With a total attendance of 7S,068
for the series, the gross receipts
amounted to over $101, 900, as COM
pared to gross receipts of over $10e,-
OS0 for six games in Chicago last
year.
The players share of the receipts
amounts to $54,93339, which in round
numbers exceeds last years pool by
$4,000, the Sox and Cubs sharing in
only four games last fall with small
crowds at the start instead of the
finish as this year. Of the players
pool this year the Cubs share is $32,-
96034 and the Tigers share $21 ,973.36,
on the new basis of dividing 60 per
cent to the winners and 40 per cent.
to the losers.

PRESIDENT CHANGES PLAN
Mr.. ROOSEVELT DECIDES TO
STAY IN BEAR LAKE CAMP.
Fresh Trails Rouse Hopes That He
Will Find Big Game in
That Region.

Stamboul, La, Oct. 14.-The whole
countryside turned out Sunday in ex-
pectation of seeing the president take
his departure from Stamboul for the
south, but he decided to remain at
Bear lake instead.
There was general expression of
satisfaction over his reconsideration
of his determination to move to Ten
sas parish, for now that the change is
not to be made, Stamboul confesses
candidly that she would have been
much chagrined to have her dis
tinguished visitor go away with an
empty bag before the time origally
fixed.
General confidence in his success in
the new camp on Bear lake continues
and the reports from there are uni
formly favorable. Indeed, it is stated
that a number of fresh trails were dis
covered Saturday and that OH one oc-
casion the party came upon a good
sized bear, but that on account of the
absence of dogs he made his escape.
The hope is very strong that when the
hunt is resumed Monday either this
animal or another member of his fam
lily will soon be run to earth. Many
of the dogs used in last weeks siren
uous search of the barren up-country
are reported to be badly famed and an
effort is being made to replace them
with fresh animals.

TOWN LITERALLY
WIPED OFF MAP
POWDER MILL EXPLOSION AT
FONTANET, IND, DOES TER
RlFIC DAMAGE.
Thirty are Killed and 600 Badly Hurt.
Disaster Comes Without Warning.
Busy Village is at Once Scene of
Ruin and Wreckage.

Fontanet, Ind, Oct. 16.-Fontanet
was practically destroyed yesterday
by the explosion of the Dupont Pow
der company's plant.
The total number of dead is be-
lieved to be thirty-five At least 600
were injured and an immense amount
of property destroyed
The town is practically wiped out.
Not building remains intact, and
throughout the day fires kindled in
the ruins cost the lives of the manned
pinned in the wreckage.
The mills without known cause
went up with three distinct explos-
ions, followed later by fourth even
more serious than the others when
the magazine exploded.
Without warning the powder mills,
several in number, blew up at 9:15
Tuesday morning. They employed
200 men and of these Is were at work
when the first explosion occurred in
the press mill.
In quick succession the glazing
mill, the two coming mills and the
powder magazine blew up, followed
by the cap mill. In the magazine,
situated several hundred yards from
the mills, were stored 10000 kegs of
powder. The concussion when it
blew up was felt at a distance of
nearly 200 miles.
Immediately following the explo-
sions, the wreckage took fire and the
inhabitants of the town who rushed
to the rescue of the mill employees
found themselves powerless to aid
those burning in the ruins. They
worked frantically in constant danger
from possible succeeding explosions,
unmindful of their ruined homes.

The city of Erie, Pa, has done well
to honor, by statue, the memory Of
Eben Brewer, the heroic postal clerk
of the Spanish-American war, who
gave his life for the soldiers at ST.
honey, says Youths Companion. He
had gone to Cuba to establish a mill
tary postal service, and he did it. But
the number of sick, wounded and dy-
ing soldiers at Siboney, and the
scarcity Of doctors and nurses, made
a demand upon his sympathies which
he could not resist. Four days and
four nights, without a moments rest,
he devoted himself to this humane
work, and then he collapsed. Dart
mouth college, from which Brewer
was graduated in 1871, may well
share with Erie, his home city, the
pride in this hero of civil life.

-FOUR ARE KILLED
SHOCKING MOTOR CAR ACCIDENT
ON RAILWAY GRADE
CROSSING.
One Man Fatally Hurt-Party from
kimberton, Pa, Meets Terrible
Death in Pottstown-Driver Could
Not See Tracks.

Pottstown, Pa, Oct. 15.-As the re-
suit of a grade crossing automobile
accident on the Philadelphia & Read
ing railway at Keim street here Mon
day night, four persons were killed
and one probably fatally injured.
The automobile, which was run
down on the crossing by Pottsville
express, contained party of five per-
sons from Kimberton, Chesterscounty,
Pa. The dead are: Jacob Reese, aged
55 years; Mrs. Jacob Reese, aged 48
years; Mrs. Anthony w. Emery, Jr,
aged AZ years, and Belva Emery, aged
one year, child of Mrs. Emery.
Anthony w. Emery, Jr., owner and
driver of the automobile, was the only
one of the party to escape death, and
his thigh was broken and he received
internal injuries in the accident.
Crossing a Dangerous Place.
The party were on their way home
from a shopping tour in this city when
the accident occurred. The crossing
where the automobile was struck is
reached after sharp turn. A hedge
and a clump of trees, together with
two buildings, partly obscure the
crossing until within a short distance
of it's approach, and it is probable Mr..
Emery did not know train was due,
for he drove the machine directly on
the track in front of the express.
The automobile was broken into
bits and the members of the party
were hurled out of the machine. Mr..
Reese and Mrs. Emery were killed in
stantly. Mrs. Reeses neck was
broken and she died on the train while
being brought into the city. Belva
Emery died from a fractured skull in
a hospital few hours after the acci-
dent.

Ont, was asleep in his room on the
port side of the Moore, and was
crushed to death in the collision and
his body carried down with the
steamer. It was recovered by a diver.

BIG SALTED MINE SWINDLE
SENSATIONAL 100000 FRAUD Is
DISCOVERED IN WYOMING.
Prime Movers in Enterprise Will Re-
deem Stocks Sold and Save
Investors from Loss.

Helena, Mont, Oct. 12.-The Record
publishes a story to the effect that
numerous Montana and Washington
investors have been mulcted to the
extent of more than third of mil
lion dollars through the discovery that
certain placer mines near Lender,
Wyo., had been salted and that the
property in question is worthless.
Thomas L. Greenough, of Missoula,
and ]. F. Greenough, of Spokane, who
were the prime movers in the organi-
cation, have notified all investors that
they will redeem all stock at the price
paid, thus assuming the loss.
The discovery that the property was
salted was due to an Independent ex-
animation conducted by Speaker e.
W. King, of the Montana legislature,
and ]. R. Neill, of Spokane, heavy
prospective investors, who found, after
removing a few inches of the shaft
walls, that the ground was valueless,
as were the tailings, although all pre-
vious experiments showed values
ranging from 20 cents to nine dollars
a yard.
A Chicago firm was so impressed
with the future of the property that it
offered the Greenoughs $2,500,O00 for
their interest, but the offer was re-
jected.
Water not being available, work had
been started from either end on a
tunnel through a mountain so the
flow of the Pophoagie river might be
utilized. The discovery has created
the biggest sensation in the history

Harvest.
In q current humorous paper Q lad.

In q current humorous paper Q lady
on horseback is represented looking
over a wall at a farmer. She says,
81 am so glad you are going In for
wheat, Mr.. Hayrick! My husband
made a great deal of money in it on
Wall street" The satirist has touched,
without intending it, the profound fact
that under all our material prosperity
lies the produce of the earth; that
every man, from the farmer to the
master of the stock market, succeeds
or fails with the crops. One OF the
most promising American novelists,
who died in his prime, set for himself
the splendid imaginative task OF
tracing through series of novels the
kernel of wheat, from the field to the
loaf of bread. In his Epic of the
Wheat" he attempted to tell in a new
kind of harvest fable the story OF mod
ern man. AS far as he went, he did
succeed in making the kernel of wheat
the heart of large section Of odr
highly complex life. The flooding in
of millions of bushels of wheat about
his hero, who stands in the wheat
pit" in the stock exchange, is as pow
erful as the rush of armies in the old
military epics. All summer long the
world watches the crop indications.
There is a shortage Of grain-crops."
"The cotton crop is moderate COM
pared with last year." "An improve
ment of a hundred million bushels
was made in the corn crop in July"
Complicated by other forces not sure
ly discerned by the wisest statesman
and the shrewdest capitalist, these
crop reports swing the world up and
down, says Youths Companion, until
the harvest is all in and the facts are
known. There is a momentary settle
ment in business and politics, the
world breathes sigh of relief, and
than all industry that depends on the
crops begins to hum. Harvest is
great taking of stock between the
coming in of the raw materials Of life
and the winter months, when those
materials are converted to the mani
fold uses of man.

AS an indication of the value of
water transportation it may be re-
marked that the Manchester ship Ca
nal in England shows an increase in
receipts for the last six months of
more than $4,000 over the same pe.
Tiod in 1906. Much of this increase
is due to the large quantity of Ameri.
can cotton shipped to the mills at
Manchester. Water routes mean low
