Interesting Items Gathered In the
Gopher State
A Big Canal.

- Dug Sdudis
st. Peter-"If the people of the
state would spend one-tenth of the
time talking about improving the riv.
ers OF their state that they do in de-
nouncing the railroads, there would
soon be transportation facilities here
for all the crops that this section of
the Northwest can raise for several
decades" said George Welsh, commits
sioner OF immigration for Minnesota.
Mr.. Welsh is pushing the idea of
canalizing the Minnesota river, and he
grows enthusiastic over the prospects
that 1t offers to give the people of the
southern and western part of the state
an outlet for their products.
He presented the matter to the resi-
dents OF Renville county July 4, when
he spoke at Fairfax. Congressman
Volstead, by previous arrangement,
also spoke on the same subject in a
neighboring town.
The plan of Mr.. Welsh is to deepen
and straighten the channel of the
Minnesota from its mouth at Fort
Smelling to Big Stone lake on the west
ern border of the state. He then
proposes that, by locks, Big Stone lake
and Traverse lake be connected so
that communication could be estab-
lished between the Red River Of the
North and the Mississippi. This line
OF waterway, he points out, could pro-
vide cheap means of moving the
crops OF this state, as well as those Of
Canada Immediately to the north.

DROPPED COFFEE
Doctor Gains 20 Pounds on Postum.

A physician of Wash, D. c., says Of
his coffee experience:
For years suffered with periodical
headaches which grew more frequent
until they became almost constant So
severe were they that sometimes was
almost frantic. I was sallow, consti-
pated, irritable, sleepless; my men,
DRY was poor, trembled and my
thoughts were often confused.
my wife, in her wisdom, believed
coffee was responsible for these ills
and urged me to drop it. I tried many
times to do so, but was it's slave.
Finally Wife bought a package of
Postum, and persuaded me to try it, but
she made it same as ordinary coffee
and I was disguised with the taste.
Il make this emphatic because fear
many others have had the same expe-
rience.) She was distressed at her
failure and we carefully read the d.
rections, made it right, boiled it full

and with good cream and sugar,

nourish me.
This was about year ago. Now

have gained 20 lbs. and feel am a
new man.
Il do not hesitate to give Postum
due credit. OF course dropping coffee
was the main thing, but had dropped
it before, using chocolate, cocoa and
other things to no purpose.
Postum not only seemed to act as
an invigorant, but as an article Of
nourishment, giving me the needed
phosphates and albumens This is no
imaginary tale. 1t can be substanti-
ated by my wife and her sister, who
both changed to Postum and are
hearty women of about 70.

ALLEGED ROBBERS
NEARLY LYNCHED
CITIZENS SEIZE FOUR MEN AT
SCENE OF ROBBERY At
MOBRlDGE.
The Cracksmen Made Desperate Eff
fort to Escape but Were Over
come. Lynching Was Narrowly
Averted.

Aberdeen, 8. D., July 21.-As a re-
suit of blowing the safe in James
Wrigley's lumber yard at Mobridge
last night, four men who were seized
by citizens, who were attracted to the
scene of the robbery, narrowly es-
capped lynching.
Following the methods recently en-
ployed by cracksmen in the North
west, the robbers relied in a degree
on their ability to fight their way
clear of pursuers. But when the
alarm was given and large number
of men hurried to the lumber yard,
they found the four cracksmen at
work.
Mobridge prides itself on its free
dom from crime. The younger ele-
ment in the party that captured the
prisoners urged that an example be
made of the alleged robbers, in order
that there might be no reign of crime
such as has struck some towns of
Minnesota and the Dakotas.
Had rope been Immediately at
hand, it is doubtful if the cooler
headed ones could have prevented a
lynching. Only assurance that pro-
secution would not be delayed,
stayed the hands that would have
taken the suspected mems lives.
AS a result, the four prisoners were
arraigned a few hours after their
capture and bound over to the next
term of court.
Cracksmen Overlook $1,000.
Osceola, Wis, July 20. = Louis
Sund's store at Clam Falls was en-
tered by burglars last night. The
safe was blown, the contents ran
sacked and the robber secured about
5000. They left $1,000 in drawer
that undoubtedly was overlooked or
else they were frightened away. 1t
Is only short time ago that Mr..
Sund met with the loss of his large
store and contents, the building hav-
ing been struck by lightning in the
night.
