THE FRED MILLER
BREWING COMPANY
A Meritorious Company Whose Pro-
duct is Constantly Growing
in Favor.

Among the consistent friends of or
ganized labor none is more worthy Of
the special mention than Herman J.
Fetzner, local representative of the
above we'll known brewing association.
He has taken a most active interest
in the welfare of Duluth and of it's
citizens, and is we'll and favorably
known throughout the city. The at
titude of this gentleman to organized
labor has always been Of the most
friendly nature, and he has upon many
occasions assisted to the full extent
of his ability in furthering any move
ment that has for it's purpose a closer
affiliation between wage earners and
employer. ~.
1t is to the interest of intelligent
workingmen to aid those who aid them
and carry out that grand principle
Of reciprocity, which is the ground
work of our organization, and which
has been fully lived up to by this
gentleman.
This company is engaged in the
manufacture Of beer, and whether or
not there is any truth in the saying
that beer is the poor mans beverage,
the average workingnlan is interested
in concerns engaged in it's manufac-
ture as we'll as in every other enter
prise which aids in building up our
city.
The, output Of this meritorious con-
Germ has grown popular and is con-
stantly growing in, favor, a fact which
goes long way toward proving that
the quality is of the best The pro-
ducts of the Fred Miller Brewing COM
pany are pure and a.. .l1nadulterated, are
manufactured under the most sanitary
conditions and everything; possible is
done to give" the public a beverage
which is satisfactory to the highest
possible degree. T.;

strange that his mothers eyes were fall of tears.
Just few days later he had listened eagerly to the
sharp cracking sound of guns and the rumbling thunder
of cannon, that the air seemed vbrate. He
and another little boy had stood and talked in high,

CROSS SHOWS ONLY
BY LIGHT OF MOON
Famous Painting by Ali Displays Pe-
cular and InexplicabIe Shadow
When Artificial Lights Are
Extnguished

The Young Mems Christian assocla-
ton, through negotiations with tne
owner, has secured the famous paint
ing of Christ, known as the Snaoow
of the Cross" to be on exhibition at
the Association building, Seventh ana
Hope, beginning April l, for the pene-
fit of the Shanghai fund.
1.-THE Shadow of the cross was
painted by Henry Hammond All, whose
work was recognized by the govern
ment. which commissioned him to go
to Ireland and paint the ancestral
home of the late President william NC
Kinley, which now, hangs at the capi-
toll.
This year Mr.. Ali is at work on
full length portrait of Speaker Can
non for the house of representatives.
1.-THE Shadow of the Cross" is paint
ing of the Christ clad in the homely
garb of poor Galilean, standing alone
in the wilderness. When the lights are
turned off in the room the figure or the
Christ is seen outlined in the moon
light, and the distinct outlines or
cross over his shoulders. In ordinary
light no cross can be seen.
While scientific men OF the country
have examined this painting, they have
failed to give an explanation. 1t has
been viewed by over 100000 people,
having been on exhibition thirteen
wears, and in all this time it still re-
mains a mysterious and unexplained
work of art.

all rights as a native born American
woman when she stood before the altar
of Trinity Episcopal church. The laws
of the United States provide that
when an American woman marries a
foreigner she becomes a subject Of the
governing power to which the husband
owes allegiance. In this case Helen
Aoh becomes a subject of the en-
peror of Japan.

criticised for uniting the couple. he
saws he opposes japanese, but with the
consent of the girls parents ana a

riage, withdrew his suit today. He an
nounced that if he was not paid he
would bring a similar action against
Emery in the home county of the

ton of Ohio, who will leave CleVeianu
tonight for Washington. .
personally, 1 do not favor haste IN
Training the bill. While 1t Is extremely
desirable to dispose of the questions
involved with all due promptness, 1t Is
more important that rational tarliI
and revenue policy should be adopted,
and that the problems involved shoulo
be disposed of in a hurry.
II hope for discussion OF para
graphs in the house and for careful
and deliberate review of the house Dill
in the senate.
IT think the extent of the reductions
proposed by the Payne bill is hardly
realized, at least, under the proposed
minimum rates. For example, there
are no less than four reductions, such
as from to cents a pound; in one
case from 8 to / cent a pound. There
are other reductions of less percent
age.
Business will suffer check until
the bill is disposed of because of the
uncertainty, but l think there may be
confidence that the delay will not be
long, and 1 hope all questions will be
decided wisely and without the induc-
tion of too much politics"
