GRAND ARMY ENCAMPMENT
,Forty-second Reunion of Veterans Of
the Civil War.

Eorty-second Reunion of Veterans Of
the Civil War.
Toledo, O., Sept 1.-The forty-sec-
ond national encampment of the
Grand Array of the Republic opened
here, although the programme Of tho
day called for nothing save the re-
newal Of old acquaintance until the
formal reception of visitors, when
Mayor Brand Whitlock will deliver a
brief address of welcome
The banner day of the encampment
will come On Wednesday, when the G..
A. r. parade will share honors with
William H. Taft, Republican candidate
for president; Senator Foraker, Gov
ernor Harris and others. The gentle
men mentioned will be rendered re-
ception on that day, by the Lincoln
club and will review the parade
No city in which a national encamp-
ment has been held, the veterans de-
clare, has been more profusely dec
GRATED than this city. Flags and cleo
trio lights in patriotic design are seen
everywhere, and bunting runs in riv-
ulets along every street in the bust
ness district. The housing of the old
soldiers in hotels and at private resi-
dences meets with general commenda-
ton and there is mourning among the
germs of rheumatism and pneumonia,
which previously have rejoiced in the
presence of damp canvas and straw
beds on the grounds.

LARGE CROWD ATTENDED
VURP|LLAT'SlST LECTURE
Lecture. Entertainment Last Evening al
+ Corner OF 4th St. and BemidjiAye.
Office All Bemidji Ave. .

Last night a large crowd was on
the vacant lots, corner of Bemidji
avenue and Fourth street, to well
come the. king of advertisers. His
lecture was of an original nature,
we'll delivered and attentively
listened to by the audience. The
entertainment was an unusually
good production and appreciated
by the audience. In fact, there was
nothing to disappoint any of those
present. 49,
There is no doubt as to the ability
of this young man as an orator, de-
monstrator and advertiser.
The remarks heard upon the
streets today are of a complimentary
nature and no doubt he will leave
this city with thousands of friends.
. After his lecture was concluded
he extended an invitation to anyone
suffering with any aches or pain,
stiff or swollen joints, deafness,
rhuematism or paralysis, to step
upon his platform and he would
demonstrate on them free of charge
and show them the merits of his
wonderful New Discovery. Among
those to take advantage of this invi-
tation was Mr.. Mike Broske of 8O4
American avenue, who had suffered
with Lumbago for years and for
the past week ne could not stoop
over without getting severe pains
across the small of his back. After
about 3 minutes application of the
New Discovery Mr.. Broske stated
that the pain was all gone and he
could stoop over without any incon-
VenienCe.
A special program has been
arranged for tonight, the feature
being a flour contest for boys.
No doubt thousands will be
on the show grounds tonight and
nightly at the. corner of Fourth
street and Bemidji avenue dur
ing his stay, to witness the free
entertainments and lectures.
Vurpillat has opened an office at
all Bemidji avenue where consulta-
ton and advice are given free daily

of the United Mine Workers of Amer
lea.
The order ends aestrike which be-
gan July s and which has been
marked by much violence The official
order, after reviewing Tie history OF
the strike, says
The climax was reached when the
governor of, Alabama said that the
miners should not be permitted to
live in tented camps and that public
meetings shall not be held in the min
ing communities of the state during
the strike. In other words, the strike
must end, regardless of the cost to the
miners or any rights they have in the
premises
The end of the strike means that
practically all of the mines in the
Birmingham district will be on a nom
union basis. No conference between
officials of the union and officials Of
the Operators association were held
in Birmingham. It is known. however,
that the operators will take back all
