Constantinople, Oct 6.-The council
of ministers held a long session this
morning to consider the action Of Bull
garia in declaring her independence of
Turkey at Tirnovo yesterday. It was
decided that it was impossible to ac-
cept any proceedings that violated the
existing treaties, and that Turkey
should address a circular vote to the
powers pointing out the necessity of
taking measures to enforce respect
for the treaty of Berlin.
Replying to a telegram sent to the
Turkish government by Prince Ferdi-
nand in which he said that in declar-
ing the independence of Bulgaria he
has been compelled to respect the
voice of the nation and expressed the
hope that friendly relations between
the two countries would continue
Turkey says she has invited the pow
ers to confer on the situation and as
her rights are guaranteed by the pow
ers she viii look to them for their
defense.
Ready to Defend Rights.
The Yenai Gazette, the organ of the
grand vizieT, says today:
"We are ready to defend our rights
with all our strength. AS the action
of Bulgaria is not only directed
against us but against all the powers
we should ask the powers to defend
their interests and protect the pro-
visions of the treaty of Berlin.
According to this same journal
ustria-F4ungary has informed the
powers of her intention of withdraw

Why Not Incorporate Onamla:

We notice by the Onamia Lake
Breeze that a special town meeting of
the voters of the town of South Har-
Dor is called for May 2, between the
hours of 2 and S p. NJ, to vote ont
the proposition of erecting a jail in
the townsite of New Onamia. The
proposed jail is to cost 1925. Prob
ably the voters of South Harbor knew
their own business best, but it STROKES
us that the proper thing to do would
be for the village of Onamia to incor-
porate, then the village would receive
the license money from saloons and
could erect it's own Jail or lookup.
We have never known of township
in Minnesota voting money to erect a
jail. Certainly the farming population
of South Harbor do not need Jail.
We believe the good people of Onamia
will find it to their advantage to incor-
porate as village, make their own
ordinances and manage their own
affairs.

The Widows Pension Bill,

The widows pension bill as passed
by congress grants pension of S12
per month to all surviving widows of
soldiers and sailors of the war of the
rebellion, war of Mexico, various
Indian wars and to those widows of
the Spanish war whose husbands died
from, disabilities incurred while in the
service.
The bill also provides that no
widow of any soldier or sailor of the
war of the rebellion who married sub
sequent to June p, 1890, which is the
date of the passage of the Cushman
K. Davis act, shall be entitled to the
benefits of this bill. The senate
wanted struck out the resolution on
the widows who have married since
1890, but the house conferees would
not stand for it. It will cost the
government upward of $4,000, 900 a
year under the provisions of the bill.
The pension commissioner has an
nounced that widows now on the pen
sion roll would not be required to
make application for the increase from
So to S12 a month. The commissioner
has Instructed the pension agencies
throughout the country to make the
first payment of the increase on May 4.

Wadena Seeks His Rights.

Charles Wadena, hereditary chief
of the Mile Lac band of Chippewa
Indians, has begun an action in the
Q. S. court at Fergus Falls to Sc
cure possession of a valuable tract of
land on the White Earth reservation.
Wadena alleges that he selected the
land in accordance with an act of con-
gress, made improvements and had
every Intention of holding it as his
allotment and becoming a civilized
Indian. When the day for fling ar
rived he went to the Office of the agent
and found a great crowd assembled
about the door. The crush was such
that he was unable to enter, and when
the crowd gradually dispersed he
found that Margaret Lynch, a girl
under II years of age, had filed on the
land. He alleges that the girl is not
a full-blood Indian within the mean
ing of the law, and is not entitled to
the allotment, and states further that
her friends formed a large percentage
of the crowd that stood around the
door at the agency Office and pre-
vented him from entering. He asks
that her patent be Cancelled and that
the land be decreed to him.
Tebe-geence Wadena, who is
evidently one of his relatives, Jared
almost as badly and has begun a
similar suit. She alleges that she
selected a certain valuable tract OF
land, but before she was able to file
on it the government issued a patent
to one Armenia Porter, who had
already secured an allotment of l6O
acres and was not entitled tn IL

High School Teams of Princeton and
Elk River Play a Decidedly
One-Sided Ball Game.
Princetons Prove a Snap for the Elk
Rivers and Are Wiped Out in
Score of Ia to 4.

The high school ball teams of Prince
ton and Elk River contested one
another's supremacy upon the grounds
OF the latter club on Saturday, but
our boys came out the wrong end of
the horn-they went down, down,
down to defeat in a score of IA to 4.
1t was a streak of hard luck all
right for the Princetons, for whereso-
ever Elk River batted the ball it
landed safe, and no matter where
Princeton knocked the sphere Elk
River was sure to get it.
Only in one instance-the second
inning-did Princeton have possible
show of winning and, taking advan-
tage of the rally, ran in four scores.
c. Kaliher, J. Angstman, R. Kaliher
and Roos succeeded in making hits
and scoring. Elk River hit Roos fire.
quently in the third inning and four
scores were run in, one man was out
and two men were on bases when r.
Kaliher was put in the box. Three
scores more were made in the same
inning on Kaliher, and so on through
out the rest of the game until the Elk
Rivers had IA to their credit.
Elk River played fast ball at times
while Princeton was loose and slug
gish probably in consequence of lack
OF enthusiasm. Following is the line
up and score by innings:
