To Be LENIEAT
TO COLORED FOLKS
WHITE KNIGHTS OF PYTAIAs OF
GEORGIA TO GIVE DUE CON-
SHERATON TO NEGROES.

Tie News has been advised that
the August number OF the Pythian
Lodge Secret, the official organ of the
Knights of Pythias of Georgia which
will appear shortly, will contain a
card from Judge John P Ross, of
Macon, relative to the attitude of the
knights against the so-called colored
knights of Pythias' in Georgia un-
der the law recently passed by the
legislature to protect the original or
ganization from having its name used
by bodies that are in no way affiliated
with it,
In this communication Judge Ross
calls upon the Knights of Pythias of
the state to take no action as indi-
viduals toward breaking up the col
ored lodges He states that when the
governor signed the bill to prevent
the use of the name of white organi-
cations by the negroes he was assured
there would be no hurried action on
the part of the white members of the
order. 1t was with this understand
ing that he signed the bill.
Judge Ross suggests that nothing
be done to enforce the new law until
January l and that even after that
date that the conduct of the prosecu
ton, it it is found that any prosecu-
ton is needed, be left to himself and
Hon Hamilton Douglas, of Atlanta,
the attorneys who have handled the
case against the colored organizations
with such signal success up to this
time and whose action have had the
sanction of the grand lodge.
1t is expected that Grand Chancel-
lor Clifford Walker If Monroe, the
head of the Knights of Pythias of
the state, will in few days issue a
circular to the subordinate lodges Of
the state outlining the same views
as advanced by Judge Ross,
That there will be recipient ac-
ton on the part of the white Knights
is certain and the negroes will be
given ample time to make the name
of their organization conform to the
new law.

COLLEGE BASKET BALL.

The whole subject of conversation at
school at present is basket ball. As
is well known, the Little Falls busi-
ness college had one of the fastest
teams In the state last season and this
year will endeavor to keep up to that
standard. Crest and Hall enrolled
Monday for regular WORK and will be
on the floor again this season. Be-
sides, here IS Cannon. Berg, Elvlg,
Brannen, Diedrlch, Meg Gona le,
Dunphy, Notion, Wallace, Lafond,
Carlson and Ward to select a team
from. With this material at hand
and Earl Wetzel as coach there is no
reason why the college cannot turn
out championship team again this
season. ---- .-.....
The hall has been put IN readiness
and regular practice will be begun
Thursday evening. Manager Mlllard
has been busy arranging a schedule,
and with the games now on band,
there is no reason why the people of
Little Falls cannot see a good, fast,
clean game Of basket ball at least
twice or three times a month.
The opening game of the season will
be played Friday evening, Dec. II,
with Pierz. Those who remem beI
will know that Pierz had a strong
team last year, and with the local
quint whipping into shape, good fast
game is looked forward TO.

CHRISTMAS SHOPPING
Do Il Early--Fine Stocks %
Select Your Christmas
Presents from

Chrlstmas shopping is now in full
swing as the wary ones are not wait
ing for the last few days to make
their many purchases. The Yule-
tide is but two weeks of, and as the
merchants OF this city were fortunate
enough to get the greater part of their
Christmas goods, toys, etc. before the
Swltchmens' strike, large variety of
merchandise which will make ap-
propriafe gifts is on hand out of which
to make selections. And of course it's
first come first served, and first served
gets the pick Of the choicest stocks.
TC assure that It's customers will not
lack the wherewlthal to sweetrn the
goodies that are being prepared for
this great feast day a local grocery
store had six sacks of sugar shipped
up here by express, receiving 1t
Wednesday. Another store received
by express on the same day five bags
of nuts, a jewelry store two large
boxes Of jewery and watches, and in
fact there is hardly merchant in
this city but what has been receiving
a large amount of goods by express.
It only remains for the shopper to
make their purchases early. A
perusual through the columns of the
Herald will reveal numbers of fine
presents that are to be had.

CLEAN CLOVER SEED BRINGS
HIGHER PRICES.

Cnas. Van Hercke will go to Pierz
and Buckman town as soon as railroad
traffic is normal to make cleanup of
the clover seed left in that part of tho
county. Mr.. Van Hercke stated q
few days ago that next fall, when
the company which he represents has
erected an elevator here, q seed
cleaner will be installed, and clover
seed will then be bought ON bas,s
of clean seed This, he says, will
make it possible to o6er fancier
prices for 1t. Ihes screening will be
returned to the seller, and bought from
him afterwards it he desires to sell it.
1t seems that the Medium Red clover
10 the kind that Is in most demand,
which is explained by its better
qualities for cycling purposes. The
Mamoth clover seed commanded as
good prlce as the other grade this
year, but it is not as much IN demand,
and. possibly will not command the
price of the Medium Red next season.

GET NEW TRIAL.

Ihe Brown: Burt Logging company
was granted q new trial Wednesday in
the case brought against 1t by Ben
Meyers, which had been decided IN
favor of plaintiff at the fall term Of
tho district court. The case was one
in which Meyers sued for a certain
amount which was at the rate of 3
cents per log as part of a contract he
entered zinto,with the company for the
hauling out and pjling dead heads at
IL cents each and replacing them in
the r1ver after they were dry at cents
each. He filed the first part of his
contract and was paid for that part Of
it. but he claims that without his
knowledge the company had others
replace the logs IN the river, and that
ho was entitled to the amount he
was to receive in fulfilling the last
part Of the contract: He won In the
district court. The company then
made q motion for a new trial, it
being argued at st. Cloud Monday,
with the above stated result. The
case will accordingly come up for
retrial at the spring term of the dis
trict court.

The local condition il better at

since the switchmen began their
strike last week. The switch engine is
working with a full crew and the
mills are being furnished with all
the cars needed, although with less
punctuality than undeesnormal con-
ditions
The Pine Tree Lumber company

All freight, with the exception of
that of a perlshable nature, Is now
being accepted for shipment, but it is
understood that 1t is not getting any
further east than the twin cities or
further west than Staples.
Wednesday was the first day on
which freight III any quantity was
received Tor local dealers, six car
loads OF 1T arriving on this date. Some
Of the local dealers are very short of
their supply of fuel, but others have
enough to last until after Christmas, so
there has been at no time this year
any danger of coal famine In this
locality. Besides this over eighty car
loads OF coal have been shipped from
the Duluth docks, in which shipment a
local dealer has eight car loads of
mixed coal, and another three carloads
of soft coal. However, the price has
been advanced so cents on lard coal

is running in its usual capacity. and
there is no danger of a shutdown If
the strike does rot assume greater
proportions. .,.-
The railroads and the switchmen
both claim they will eventually win,
and the fight looks like a stubborn
one. At the 500 yards in Minneapolis
the strike. breakers struck for more
pay, and in one of the other yards a
number were discharged for seeking
shelter during the storm. A couple of
men have been killed as consequence
of the work Of poor swltchmen. A
number of the men brought from the
East to take the places of the strikers
claim that conditions were mis-
represented to them, and those able to
return are doing so.

IN EXCELLENT LECTURE
3ylvester a. Long Talks on
Lightning and Tooth
picks

sylvester A. Long, the humorist
leetured before q large and apprecia.
tive Audience in the Congregations
church Monday evening under tht
auspices OF the Star Lecture course.
HIS subject, Lighting and Tooth
picks was made to cover great
fundamental truths as against
superstitutlon and chance. luck and
Ill. luck. In explanation of the queer
title of his lecture MIR. Long stated
that when he was little boy he was
locking at fence post which had been
struck. and spllntered by a bolt of
lightning ana that he was wondering
where the bolt went to. A supersti-
tious old man happened along just at
this time and told him that If he used
one OF the splinters as a toothpick he
never would have tooth ache just
as though the lightning had medicated
the splinters. The speaker went on
to. state that everything that took
place in this world had its cause,
nothing happened by chance, that
three little words spelled out the
cause of everything: Law, Love-
and Habit. He claimed no Ill
happened to anything or anyone un-
less they either knowingly or unknow-
ingly violated some part of the law of
nature; to illustrate this point he
stated that when sickness came of
q sudden, if you look back you find
that number of things lead to it
the same with business man when
he failed, he had violated some
basic principle of business. However,

even though violated a number of
times. the speaker claimed that love,
which everywhere was present in the
world among inanimate as well az
animate lite, softened and mellowed
it., healing up and giving longer
life than it would otherwise have.
but that continued breaking of the
great law OF nature was bound to
bring grief, and it deferred some
time would - be only that much
greater. Mr.. Long stated that any.
thing which worked for the good and
advancement of plants, animals.
humanity and conditions was sure
evidence of love. The inventing @o1
the McC Cormick binder was sited as
love, as were a number of other
instances. The speaker claimed that
if anyone had the habit of following
the law Of nature he forged ahead
and became great, hut in each in.
stance something which was needed
by the world was given, whereas
where the habit condlcted With this
great law. the reverse was the case,
and the person took rather than gave
to t9e~aporld. Mr.. Long created 9
very good impression. Wit and
humor were mingled IN his lecture,
and added much to the entertaining
qualities of the lecture.

MORRIS SONCO CUNT YfRUlT


st. Paul Dispath (8): Opinions
diner on the question whether the
land congresses, fruit conventions,
agricultural exhibitions and farm ex-s
positions now being held over tho
country and in which the various
states are constantly solicited to
participate, are worth tho money. Il
has been asked:
Who is the gamer, the promoters or
those induced to part with their good
money for floor ana booth spaceP
George Welch, of the Mlnnesota
state immigration board, says he has
already heard from the Minnesota
EXHIBIT at the recent congress held in
Chicago. On the other hand Former
State Senator Daniel Shell, of Worth.
lngton, who visited the exhibition at
Chicago, says Minnesota suffered BIZ
comparison with the big land com
panles which spent money galore in
an effort to catch the eye.
Mr.. Shell says the best he could
figure out Of the convention was the
floor space, from which the promoters
had realized and the N-cents ad-
mission asked of all visitors.
From all accounts. taking has be-
come an art in some of the fruit and
agricultural exhibits which are
feature of the present day. Apples
are waxed to brilliant polish and Z
other fruits and grasses are chemlcally
treated to an extent that catches the
eye of every lover of the beautiful.
Though credited to some we'll ad-
vertised locality or some renowned
valley, the fruit on exhibition, in
some cases, never saw the locality in
question
According to one member of the
state capitol family, practically all
the good fruit exhibits at the recent
state fair, which were entered in the
competition of Minnesota counties,
we're bought by Chicago and Twin
City farm land agents and are now
doing duty as advertised products of
Montana and other Western states
The Morrison county exhibit, it is
said, was sold intact for $500 and now
poses as Montana fruit. It was
among the best at the state fair.
Commissioner Welch, while admit
ting some of the taking done by the
big land concerns, says Minnesota
profits just the same firm the exhibi-
tlons. The exhibit may not be as
elaborate as others, but it is stthe
goods" ana the expert farmer knows
that that is true.
