WAR fever AFFECTS
MONTENEGRO women
All Glasses Join in Parade in
Capital City.

Cettinje, Montenegro, Oct. 2).-A
remarkable expression of the depth
to which the war fever has penetrated
the Montenegrin people as a result of
the annexation of the provinces of
Bosnia and Herzegovina by Austria
Hungary was witnessed in Cettinje
when the women of the capital united
in great street demonstration. They
were headed by the Princesses Zenia
and Vera, daughters of Prince Mich
olas, who marched through the streets
carrying Montenegrin flags.
They were followed by great
throng of women of all classes, who
chanted war songs as they marched,
stopping from time to time to plead
with the men who followed in their
wake to defend the sacred rights of
the nation. The two princesses sub
sequently formed a committee for the
enrolment OF Red Cross nurses.

Ing his last speech, William J. Bryan

afterward was. speaking to a good
sized crowd here. AS most of his
audience were farmers the Democratic
candidate proceeded to puncture the
Republican contention, which, he said,
was that the farmer owed his pros
perity to the Republican party. -.
II can prove to you," he said, that
the Republican party has nothing to
do with fertility of the soil or SUM-
shine or rain, for if it, did then there
would be a trust on sunshine and a
meter on the sun. The fact that these
things are not monopolies is con-
elusive proof that the Republican lead
ers exercise no control over them"
He denied that the Republican party
was responsible for the present prices
Of agricultural products. There was
not single thing, he said, that the
Republican party had done that meant
good for the farmers, for. the farmer
had been the real victim of every
abuse that had grown up under Re-
publican misrule. He declared that
the Republican leaders had spent
their time legislating in the interests
of the fnanciers of Wall street instead
of listening to the plea Of the farmers
for security in their deposits. He
maintained that Mr.. Taft's position in
the respect to guaranteeing deposits
was that the insecurity of the depos-
itor is the security of the banking sys-

N0RTH-COUNTRY SETTLER
|NCENSED OVER ARREST
Had venison in HIS P0ssession.-
Game Warden Was Only Doing
His Duty.

Chris Wilson, "a homesteader liv-
ing in the vicinity of Graceton, in
the northern part of Beltrami county,
near Baudette, has been lodged in
the county Jail in this city to serve
a thirty.day sentence for having
venison in his possession.
Wilson is considerably incensed
at what he terms is nothing but
piece of malicious prosecution on the
prrt of some of his neighbors, near
Baudette
Mr.. Wilson is constable up in his
vicinity and he claims that in his
official capacity he was ordered to
close up a blind pig" which was
being operated there.
Mr.. Wilson says he arrested the
bartender and at the hearing the
case was continued until October
"a. In the meantime, the bartender
and his friends threatened Wilson
with Imprisonment for having killed
deer out of season if he insisted on
making trouble for the bartender.
After the man who had conducted
the blind pig had been arrested he
and his friends got busy" and made
complaint to Game Warden Loman
that Wilson had killed deer out of
season.
The warden arrested Wilson.
Wilson was given a hearing, found
guilty and fined $50 and costs or
thirty days in Jail. AS the costs
amounted to $3.50, making in all
$3.50 as a total, Wilson chose to
serve the thirty days in the county
Jail.
Wilson is much incensed at the
manner in which he was treated.
He claims that all of his neighbors
are in the habit of killing deer for
meat to eat and none of them have
been arrested.
This is one of the cases wherein
the game warden has no choice in
the matter. 1t has always been the
policy of the State Game & Fish
Commission to be very lenient with
the settlers, but when complaint of
this kind, we'll backed up with proof,
positive, and determination on
the part of the complaining wit
ness to prosecute, there is nothing
left for the warden to do but perform
his plain duty according to the
statute, which provides minimum
penalty of $50 for unlawfully having
venison in possession.

excellent paper at Baudette, and

seconded by the Baudette people.
Mr.. Noonan is very pleasant
gentleman, and the Pioneer hopes
he will visit here often. He will

Reunion, After Many Years.

Thirty years ago, the village OF
Dover, Olmstead county, Minnesota,
was the home of two families
the Coppersmiths and the Rutledges'
who had moved to that place
originally from Illinois and Ohio,
respectively. -
The heads of these families,
George Coppersmith and Thomas S.
Rutledge, and their wives, being of
that good old stock of whom it is
said their word was as good as a
bond," in the natural course of
events became staunch friends. The
children of both families mingled to-
gether and there was established a
bond of fellowship which youthful
strife and contention only strength
ened as time passed.
Some years later, the families
were separated, the Rutledges NOV
ing away from the little town on the
Winona & Northwestern railway to
Lacrosse, Wis, and later leaving
the state for North Dakota and
severing the personal associations of
the two families.
The Coppersmith family was later
dismembered, the three sons all
engaging in railroading, while the
sister remained in Dover and was
married to pioneer resident of the
village, and still lives there. Uncle
George" Coppersmith moved to
Rochester, where he now resides.
Last Sunday, on the Koochiching
falls, which mark the Canadian and
United States boundary at Inter-
national Falls, Uncle George
Coppersmith and his three sons,
Frank, Arthur and George, and A.
G.. Rutledge, after lapse of a quar-
ter of a century, again met and
recalled old times in the little village
of Dover and told what had trans
pired in the lives of each since the
time when Frank Coppersmith and
Jason Allen had been "chaperons,' -
as it we're, for bunch of youngsters
who were often told of the horrors
of the reform school if they did not
mend their ways"
The writer was reminded of an
old gentleman named Fry, who often
declared in those days, with much
profanity, that he would erect a
high-board fence and burn to death
the boys who tore down his shocks
of corn and raised havoc with his
hay stacks, while playing Barba
Ree," which riotous pastime called

DIE IN TYPH00N
Awful Loss Of Life in Phil
ippine Storm.
HEROIC ACT SAVES MANY

Three Americans, Aided by One Fill
pino Volunteer, Go to the Rescue of
4 Stricken Town in a Small Boat
and by Strenuous Work Take Prac-
ticaIIy All the Survivors From the
Unfortunate Place.
Manila, Oct. 2).-Additional details
of the damage wrought in the Ca
gayan valley by the typhoon of Oct.
II indicate that the loss of life in the
disaster will reach 500. At APART,
where a thrilling rescue Of a hundred
natives was effected through the hero
ism of Lieutenant Robert Clark, Lieu
tenant Tredway and Postmaster Foss,
the survivors say that 300 residents of
the submerged fishing village, which
is located some distance below Apart,
were swept away and drowned.
The three Americans, aided by one
Filipino volunteer, were informed of
the danger that threatened the village
and managed to reach it by boat. Ap-
preaching the shore in a series of
short rushes between breakers that
threatened at any moment to swamp
their frail craft the rescuers found
scores of natives clinging to the poles
of their wrecked habitations. Lieuten-
ants Clark and Tredway, carrying
lines from the boat, fought their way
through the breakers and, swimming
from house to house in the flood wa
ter, saved the lives of about one hum
dred men, women and children. So
thorough was their work that all but
six of those living when the boat
reached the village were saved. The
half dozen unfortunates in question
were swept away by the force Of the
water while the Americans were striv-
ing to reach them. More than fifty
bodies were recovered in this locality.
It is reported that many we're
drowned at Ilagan and that the town
was almost entirely destroyed.
1t is feared that the storm and the
resulting flood has seriously damaged
the tobacco crop of the islands. The
principal supply and the best quality
of Philippine tobacco is grown in the
Cagayan district, where two planta-
lions report serious damage.

Serious Water Shortage.

New York, Oct. ).-From all parts
of the state come complaints of water
shortage. So serious is the situation
in many parts of the state that ex-
IRENE measures will soon be needed
to prevent actual distress. In vari-
GUS places dairymen are compelled to
drive their cows for miles to obtain
water and in others it is being carried
for miles to supply domestic wants.
In the Hudson valley the shortage is
particularly serious.
