Look Forward.

Forget your faults and failures. Or
remember them only to learn the les
son they have to teach, the frailty or
folly or wickedness Of spirit which
they should disclose to you-the
vanity that weakens, the pride that
hardens, the greed that corrupts. Let
to your ankle to keep you back, but
a journal to tell you what road you
have travelled. Then, looking back
only long enough to see where you
are and what your course should be.
forget the things that are behind and
press forward.-The Outlook.

Side Lichts on History.

The Washington estate had just
been named Mount Vernon in honor of
Admiral Vernon Of the British navy.
You'll have to stand for it, George"
said Maj. Lawrence Washington to his
younger brother. The patriotic Ameri-
can of the future, when he comes here
to do honor TO this spot as the sacred
shrine of hrs country's liberty, will
think it was named Vernon on &C
count of it's abundant greenery."
George said nothing, but his face
instantly assumed that stern, com
handing expression so familiar to all
Of us in the patriot on the two cent

Not I'm Mourning, Thank You.

THE liberal quantity of black
crepe tied to the front door of
The True Northerner Office Tues
day morning as we entered our
editorial sanctum gave US a ner-
vous chill, but we are fast regain
ing our equilibrium and self com
posture. The symbol of mourn
ing might be construed as evil
dence of a period of weeping
and mourning in The True North
erner Office, but such is not the
case. We have used our best
efforts to defeat the primary sys-
tenn, believing then. as we still
believe, that its adoption was not
for the best interest and welfare
of the republican party in Van
Buren, county, but the vote has
been cast and the proposition
carried by a decisive majority.
The fight is ended. We did our
best, but lost. Now The True
Northerper, as we'll as every
opponent of the primary plan,
will be found in the future, as in
the past, fighting just the same,
using its best endeavors to pro
mote the welfare and continued
success Of the republican party
in Van Buren, county under the
primary system of nominations.
No, thank you, The True North
erner is not in mourning.

THREE DEATHS RESULT
FROM @ H ACCIDENT
OF THE SAME NATURE

LH tMFhH
Sioux Falls, S. d., Sept. 30.-Three
young men have met death In South
Dakota during the t~hreshing season
rom blows administered by p~itchforks
caught in separator belts, his novel
and unusual accident has proved as
fatal as a rifle bullet, each case COM
pletely bathing medicine and surgery.
First to fall before a fork welded
by a separator belt with terrific force
ard the accuracy OF human hands was
Paul Hummel, a farmers son, of Do
and. The fork used by another worker
was caught In the belt and whirled
.apidly around. In some way the tines
came off the wooden handle and were
hurled with great force striking young
Hummel on the head and piercing his
skull several inches n causing his
instantaneous death.
September IA near Rosefield, John
GRADER. aged II. a farmers son, was
working with a threshing crew when
ais fork caught in the cylinder belt
and was thrown back, hitting him near
he stomach. The Inflammation which
Instantly set In could not be stopped
and he died eight days later.
September IS. Charles Rieger, aged
s5, lost his fork as he tossed a sheaf
into the separator. 1t was caught by
.he cylinder belt and the handle thrown
back against him with great force.
Before he could recover 1t struck him
again In the same place an even more
powerful blow than before. His abb
domen was ruptured and he died a
week later.

THE COUNTRY'S FISH
SUPPLY THREATENED
Booth Disclosures Cause Alarm
Over the Methods of the
Big Companies.

Chicago. Sept. 30.-The latest phase
Of the Investigation into the tangled
affairs OF A. Booth & Co. has re-
yealcd some startling figures regard
ing the fish supply of the United States
and the methods OF the big company
in fishing out lakes and streams which
were stocked at great expense by the
government. The scope of this work
Of the bureau OF fisheries at Wash
ington in replenishing the fast fail
ing supply of white fish, perch and 9TH
sr fresh water fish has been enlarged
each year, until now 1t appears that
N the case OF some fish the efforts OF
the bureau are the only thing which
stands between the present supply and
heir rapid extinction by the whole
sale commercial methods OF the great
fishing fleets.
The total distribution OF fish and
Eggs by the authorities at Washing
ton in one yeaf, according to the latest
available figures, foots up to over 81
100000, O00--county fry, eggs and flng-
erlings. or this the deposit OF white
1sh alone exceeds $50, 000, 600 a year.
The extent TO which the fishing In
1ustry profits by this is shown when
1t Is considered hat the total annual
catch OF all kinds in the United States
is about 1900, 600. 900 pounds. So great
Is the drain on the supply in the Great
lakes in particular that the govern
ment is obliged yea after year to keep
10 it's gigantic task of stocking Lakes
Michigan. Huron and Superior to nj
he places OF the fish taken each yeai
In the nets of the Chicago companies
and sold at big prices to satisfy the
appetite of the middle west for this
kind OF fish.

FORM0SA BECOMES
A LAND OF RAILWAYS

Toxic, Sept. ~29.-Japan IS about to
open the main trunk railroad line con-
structed I'm Forrnosa since her occupa-
ton of that island In 1896. The Japa-
nese program OF construction was laid
down in 1899, and called for the comple-
ton OF 272 miles of roadbed In nine
years. 1t has been carried out to the
letter.
Sixty-two miles OF completed roadbed
were taken over from the Chinese in
1895, SO the main line today yer a
total OF 334 miles. Japan built the 272
miles in question at 81 1900, 900 less than
the estimate, and the sum thus saved Is
to be applied to Various improvements.
The existing roads already are profit
able. having earned last year $3.50, 600
net.
Al concession to build 450 miles OF
branch lines has been granted to the
Formosan Sugar Refining company,
and 80 miles are already completed.
Through traffic over the main line will
begin I'm October OF this year.
Since the South Manchurian railway
adopted the broad gauge system this
year, there has been a remarkable in
crease in receipts. The total receipts
from passenger and freight traffic in
July OF 1907 were $276, 600. while In July
OF this year they We're $336,00O, an in
crease OF $50. 9e%.

CANADIAN PACIFIC
BUYS GREAT WESTERN

Chicago, Sept. 2s.--The canadian
Pacific railroad will invade the United
States and compete with the great
trunk lines for northern transcontin-
entail traffic, according to kilograms
from Montreal received today.
AT the general headquarters OF the
Great Canadian system In Montreal,
It is stated that the railroad. through
it's subsidiary lines, the Minneapolis,
st. Paul & Sault ste Marie, practical
ly has taken over the Chicago, Great
Western railroad and will operate its
own trains over it's line into Chicago.
II is recognized that in the Chicago,
Great Western the Canadian Pacific
has found an almost ideal connecting
line into Chicago. Heretofore the Ca
madam system has had to depend on
the Wabash to establish connections
with the Great Lakes metropolis.
Beside giving the Great Canadian
system the desired Chicago terminal.
the transfer will have the effect of
opening mp q territory embraced with
in the trade limits OF Chicago, Kansas
City, Omaha and Minneapolis, which
branches of the Chicago Great West
ern reach to direct Canadian trade.
1t also will enable the Canadian road
TO make even a stronger BID or trans
Atlantic traff1c through the ports OF
Montreal and Quebec. g.,

The vote was 81 to IL, three republicans
voting with IA democrats against the
measure and one being absent.
The temperance forces crowded the
aisles and galleries OF the senate chamber
when the bill was called up and every
sentiment expressed in favor OF II was
wildly cheered, while solemn silence fol-
lowed every utterance against the hill.
AS the day wore away the crowd got
impatient and was disposed to become
boisterous over the speeches OF the advo-
Gates of the bill. but there was no Demon
stration till the bill was passed.
Then the crowd went wild. shouting and
stamping and, as If by a pre-arransed sig
nal. Joining in the song America as the
senate adjourned.
The appearance of detectives following
the charges hat attempts ave been made
to bribe members of the legislature To vote
against the option law created a good
deal OF feeling. |
