NORTHERN PACIFIC TRAIN
IS HELD-UP AND ROBBED

ents desire legislation along the
lines of saving the natural resources.
One of the strongest advocates of
the l-ovement said today,
"The idea is not alone conserva-
tion of resources, but development.
We have rich mines; we have great
forests and, too, we have vast
stretches of arid land. This national
movement contemplates not alone
saving the forests, but planting new
woodlands; not alone preventing
waste of mineral deposits but opening
up new stores of underground wealth.
And more than that, taking up on a
grand scale the irrigation of arid
places and the preservation of water
sources"
Think People Need Information.
While many civic organizations and
associations of special industries are
and have been long fully awake to
the necessity of step in the destruc-
tion of many of the most valuable re-
sources in forests, mines and water
ways, the leaders in the movement
believe that the vast majority of the
people of the country are not awake
of the full significance and necessity
of national attempt to preserve and
develop the natural wealth on land
and water.
For this reason the campaign of
education has been decided on as the
speediest and best method of getting
results in concrete form. Those who
have labored in reclaiming arid land,
together with those who have seen
the evil effects of wasteful destruc.
ton of acres of forests, will join
hands with merchants and manufac-
turers, who seek better waterways or
increased power from streams which
bear cargoes or turn the wheels of
factories, in pressing home on the
people the necessity for preserving
present storehouses of natural re-
sources.
To Enlist Aid Of Associations.
In the campaign for the preserva-
ton of the resources of the country
the aid of the national irrigation and
forestry commissions will be actively
enlisted and help will be secured
from smaller organizations, such as
the river and harbor commissions of
d1rerent states, territories and cities !;
lumbermen's associations and organ
lied bodies Of those who use water
power. In the middle west the ad-
yocates of deep waterway from the
lakes to the gulf will be asked to
join in spreading the doctrine OF
conservation and development
AT the conference of governors call.
ed in Washington last May President
Roosevelt declared in the strongest
terms the necessity of natural con-
servation of natural resources and his
opinion will be carried directly to
tho people.
The selection of Mr.. Fisher to head
the movement has been under consid-
Grafton for months and Commissioner
Plnchot has conferred with him in
Chicago number of times.

General Young, who is In command
of the Illinois national guard. re-
ceived message from Gov. Deenen

Troops are being rushed to the city
from all parts of the state, the
negroes are leaving by trains and
trolley cars and many of them on

to be rampant although the governor

they have the situation will in hand.
The First infantry of Chicago was to-

Will Organize State by Pre-
cincts and Prosecute a
Vigorous Fight.

Fargo. N. D., Aug. ia meeting
of the republican candidates for state
offices was held in this city today,
commencing this morning. 1t was
held at the call of National Commit
teeman James Kennedy for the pur-
pose of formulating plans for the fall

of Burleigh F. Spalding, who was
unavoidably away from the city and
w. H. Stutsman and w. H. Mann, can
didates for railroad commissioners,

publicans outside of the candidates
who were here to attend the session.
The meeting was called to order by
Committeeman Kennedy. c. A. John
son. the nominee for governor, was
elected as the presiding officer, while
Tom Hall, late in charge of the in
surgent headquarters in Fargo, was
made secretary. The keynote address
of the meeting was delivered by Unit
ed States Senator P. ]. McCumber
of Wahpeton. He stated that there
was no reason now why all repub-
licans should not pull together for
victory. Harmony reigned supreme,
and there is no reason why the re-
publican party should not be victori-
GUS at the polls next November. Each
of the candidates made short ad-
dresses, discussing various phases of
the coming campaign.
A committee was named for the
purpose of formulating some plan of

definately POstnoned.

Pittsburg, Pa, Aug. 15.-Because
no one entered an appearance for
Harry X. Thaw when his petition in
bankruptcy was called before Ref
cree William R. Blair today, the fix-
ing Of the date for the first meet
ing Of the creditors was postponed
indefinitely, and 1t is said will not
now be considered until his attorney
or someone else interested makes ap-
plication to have the time fixed.
Former Governor William A. Stone,
Thaw's Rlttsburg attorney, declined
to- discuss any phrase Of the case to-
-da9 70 q.
There is a report current tonight
that the attorneys have found in the
proceedings up to date q serious OBJ
stacle which 1t is necessary to over
come before further proceedings are
had, lest It should interfere with the
plan to have Thaw brought here to
face his creditors. Just what this
obstacle Is, is not disclosed, but 1t is
said that It concerns the eastern
creditors of Thaw.

THE FLEET SAILS
FROM AUCKLAND
Magnificent Sight as Vessels
Left Their Anchorage Head
ed by Flagship.

Auckland, N. a., Aug. 15.-Cordial
farewell messages have been ex-
changed between Rear Admiral Sper-
ry, commander of the American bat
tleship fleet, and the New Zealand au-
thorities. Sir Joseph Ward, the
premier, yoicing the sentiments Of the
people of the dominion, said:
"Your all too short visit to New
Zealand unquesticnabE has drawn
the peoples of the United States and
this dominion closer together"
The message concludes with the
following words in the Maori
language:
"Kia ora aroha." which means,
good luck and love-"
Admiral Sperry, in reply, said the
reception accorded the battleship
fleet at Auckland had been hearty and
cordial beyond his expectations, and
that it would unite in closer bonds
the two white races whose interests
in the Pacific we're identical.
The fleet left here at o'clock this
morning. The last stragglers were
taken on board late last night.
The much heralded visit of the
American vessels is now a thing Of
the past. and 1t is safe to say that the
people OF Auckland have enjoyed
these seven days with the American
feet quite as much as have the vist-
tors. Auckland will now begin to
settle down again to its normal life.
The sight when the ships left their
anchorage was a magnificent one, the
flagship Connecticut turning and
steaming between the lines Of battle-
ships which turned in order and fol-
lowed her to sea.
Sir Joseph Ward, the premier, and
a large number Of officials were
aboard government steamer, and as
each battleship passed, Sir Joseph led
the rousing cheers for the Ameri-
cans. The battleship Kentucky, which
was the last In the line, responded
Justify with cheers for New Zealand
and the bands on both vessels played
the British and American national
anthems and Aud Lang syne."

siderable Of an estate. Among Mr..
Sankey's most familiar compositions
are The Ninety and Nine" and
When the Mists Have Rolled Away"
His songs are said to have had a cir
culation of more than fifty million
copies.
He was rapid composer and wrote
book after book of gospel hymns.
During the last five or six years of
his life he was interested in prepar-
ing and publishing the story Of the
gospel hymns. At the same time he
saved his wonderful voice for poster
ity by singing into monographs. The
records were sent all over the world
sankey first met Moody at q Y. M. g.
"a. convention In Indianapolis. Moody
was SO charmed with the young mans
voice that he urged him to accom-.
pany him on his evangelistic tours.
Sankey explained that he was mar
ried and could not give up his posi-
tion. you must come" said Moody.
II cannot get along without You.

Cordova, the unfrocked Methodist
Episcopal clergyman, who twice de-

A wealthy Yankee went west last
winter from Maine, leaving his family

quaint pieces of pottery, unique arti-

desks and "whatnOts.' When he was
ready to leave for home he found he

end of the car that might be filed With
something unique. Some one suggest

boy to ride. which he did, and the

back in Maine, when he began to IN
load the car, checked off each article
on the bill of lading till he came to the
