are not the only items that are causing
trouble to good Mr. Payne. The cat

little rough riding over the free hides
section Of the bill; the steel men have
started the anvil chorus against the
cut on their products; France is pre-
pairing for a war on our maximum
and minimum tariff; Manila has let
out yell because Of our limit on her
sugar and tobacco; the states that
nave an inheritance tax object to the
FEDERAL government dipping into the

smoke over the treatment of their
product; southern cotton planters are
letting out shrill whoop about the
cutting of cheaper grades of cotton
goods, while Champ Clark feels it his
bounden and pleasant duty to rip up
the bill generally to the extent permit
ted by somewhat versatile, voluble,
vigorous and vitriolic vocabulary.
The hardest shedding the Payne bill
will have is in the senate, where Aid
rich, Hale, Lodge and other high
priests Of the stand patters are throw
ing ashes on the track. The things
the senate will do to the measure will
be painful and plenty. The president
is now calling Aldrich into consulta-
ton to get him to temper the blow, but
Aldrich knows his masters crib and
knows that crib is not the White
House. What the bill will look like
when it returns from the senate butch
ers not even the widest imagination

that it will suffer a, change greater
even than did its renowned father
when he lost his whiskers.

FAMOUS CLOCKS.
The Lyons Csthedrai's Wonderful

Two papers assert that it cas constructed between loSo and 1885. while third declares that II only dates from 1852. and it is the rep lica of the work of Germain Pilon. and that the original was set up in the time of Henry III.

 PHILOSOPHERS
Mir. Saito Keeps 63o/Daruma to Hold
 the Peace of Yamada.

A gentle collector of strange gods in Japaan, Mannosuke Saito by name, has filled his house with 630 frown- ing Daruma. Because of this ob- session. Mir Saito is a power in the countryside about the village of Va mada in Ise province, a Japanese newspaper saysS and some of his Daruma are approached by suppli- cants seeking miracle.
 Darmuma of the Buddhistic anthol- ogy is a doll and a god in Japan, ac- cording to the years and the discre- ton of his possessor. As doll he bears relationship to the Humpty Dumpty manikins of the American toy shop. who will never stay down. but always bob up into an erect position no matter what indiSnity may be put upon his person.
 He is round as a pear. his squat and legless body swathed in scarlet robes from which his stern and men, acing face glowers in set frown. The Japanese shops in this country all sell Daruma, and the, cxpatriatc Dartima. true to tradition, insists upon sitting upright even in an American nursery.
 Daruma the god is an imported diety in Japan. He was an Indian priest who was the first to practice zen, the science of meditation. 50 sedulously did Daruma the priest sit before a shrine in contemplation of his soul, says the Buddhistic legend. that his legs wthercd away even as his soul grew, and finally he found himself incapable of assuming any attitude save that of sitting.
 So Daruma became in Japan the transplanted ideal of impcnetrable calmness and dauntless spirit. Judicial attributes also assembled about him because or his stern and unbending demeanor. land as an adiudicator or petty disputes the Indian gentleman is popular with the pious masses in Japan. They have saying there that Daruma commands by his very presence the motto, Rise up at once if ever you fall and never suffer your self to be crushed under the weight of diversity"
 Mir. Saito. the collector of Yamada, was once interested in dry goods store which was crushed by more powerful competitor. Mir. Saitos spir- it's went down in the general crash. and they might have styed down had not been that a friend came around to his house with a little bronze Da- ruma in order that the stern resoiu- ton that flashed from the legless philosophers eyes might enter into and stiffen the soul of Mir. Saito.
 The Daruma spirit was potent MT Saito tool, new grip on life and he also began to collect odd Daruma. Now he has 63O lmages of the Indian benefactor in his house.
 Whenever a husband and wiie or Yamada -have falling out they go straightway to Mir. Saito. He takes them to the room whree. these 630 stern arbiters of right and wrong sit ranged on shelves in awesome array, and there he leaves them with the injunction that they take counsel from Daruna According to the truthful Yomiupi Shimbun of Toltic. the dis putants never fail to come out of that sanctuary apologizing to each other for their former cantankcrous dispo- sitions

GRAIN DESTROYED

fire STARTS In STUBBLE AND DE-
STR0YS HAY, GRAkARlES, GRAIN
AND BARNS FOR SNOOP.

r. @. Snoop, one of the pros,
porous farmers living six miles
west of this city, had the misfor-
tune to lose about 1900 bushels of
oats, two large ricks of hay, gran
aries and barns by fire late Friday
afternoon.
It is reported that the fire start
ed from spark from the engine
which was threshing in a field
across the road west from the
house.
A heavy west wind carried the
fire over about two and one-half
acres of stubble, burning the
grain in the shock, passed through
small grove and jumped the road
and into the hayscacks:: From
this the barns and granary caught
fire, burning them to the ground
and destroying about 1900 bushels
of newly threshed oats.

VILLAGE WINS
AGAINST MlNoT
HARRISON TOWNSHIP, OR NORTH MI
NOT, SUCCESSFUL m ANNEXA.
TON CONTEST.

Minot, N. d., Aug. 28-A de-
dision was handed down yesterday
by Judge Goss of the district
court in the famous Harrison
township-Minot fight, denying the
right of the city of Minot to take
in North Minot, after it had be-
come incorporated as a village.
The case is an interesting one
and comes as result of a long Sc
ries of legal proceedings. Several
attempts have been made by the
city to take in that part of the
outlying district known rs Harri-
son township and shortly after
the recent session of the legisla-
ture it looked as if the city had
won. The proper resolution was
passed by the council, it was ad-
vertised and notices posted, but q
mistake had been made in reading
the law and it was found necessary
to repeat the entire proceedings.
In the meantime the citizens of
Harrison township had obtained
permission from the county COM
missioners to incorporate, had
held their election and we're then
known as North Minot.
The case was brought directly
into the district court on writ OF
certorari in which the court or
dered that all records in the case
be brought before him for the
purpose of review. The conten-
tion of the city was that their first
proceedings should be construed
as being an evidence of their IN
tention and part of the second
and legal proceeding. The Har-
rison township residents, however
claimed that their incorporation
barred the city from taking them
in.
The court held that the city
should not include that territory
within their limits on the action
reviewed.

LARNED RETAINS
HIS TENNIS TITLE
DEFEATS CL0TnlER IN NATIONAL EVENT
WHO WAS AWAY OFF HIS
REGULAR GAME.

Newport, r. l., Aug. 28.-The
title of singles lawn tennis cham
pion of the United States still
rests with William A. Larned Of
Summit, N. j., who successfully
defended it Friday against the
winner of the twenty-ninth annual
all-comers tournament on the New
port Casino courts, William j.
Clothier of Philadelphia. Five
sets were required, the champion
taking the first two and the last
and the scores were 81, 60, 81,
1-6, 81.
This is the fifth time in his long
career on the American courts
and the third time in succession,
that Larned has won the cham
pionship. putting his record ahead
of r. D. Wrenn's record of four
years as champion, and makes it
second only to that of the first
American champion, Richard D.
Sears, who held the title seven
years and won two national cups.
Larned won his first national cup
in 1907, and now has two of the
required three legs on a second.
Clothier won the championship in
1906. In his progress through
the all-comers' tournament this
year his strongest opponents were
Karl H. Behr, from whom he won
the final round in his champion
ship year, and Maurice F. Nc
Laughlin, the young Californian.
In yesterdays match Clothier
was decidedly off his usual form,
while Larned was in excellent con-
dition. -

The board of railroad commits
sioners has issued card on which
are described the various grades
of grain that will be recognized in
the state this fall. =
Commissioner O. P. N. Ander-
son has recently returned from
St. Paul where he was present
when the Minnesota grades were
established, and he gained much
valuable information for the use
of the North Dakota board and
his suggestions were a great help
to the local board.
There are thirty grades of
wheat listed, varying from No. l
hard to No. 4 velvet chaff. Dur
um will be classified in four
grades as will velvet chaff wheat.
There are eight classes of corn
and eleven of oats, while rye is d.

into eight, There are three
grades of speltz allowed to be sold
and flax seed is graded into four
different classes. There are a
number of directions to buyers

to be issued and the manner of
testing for the grades is fully ex-
planned.
The commission has also pre-
pared letter that is to be sent to
the elevators, I warehouses and
-four mills that have not come
through with their new bonds and
license money. 1t will be unlaw-
full for any house to operate with
out license and bond after the
first day of September, and the
board is fully determined to see
that the law is lived up to in every
respect, and any one who are de-
linuuent in this matter will be
prosec uted.

for Mrs. G. M. Bryant on a farm
north of St. John, met with ter
rible accident from the effects of
which she died. For the purpose
of cleaning one of the bed rooms
upstairs compound containing
gasoline was used quite freely.
Mrs. Merrick had been warned
not to enter the room with light,
bnt apparently forgetting this she
went into the room and lighted a
lamp. Instantly there was a
fierce blaze, and the unfortunate
woman's clothing was a mass of
flame. Mrs. Merrick rushed
down stairs but before the flames.
could be extinguished she had
been burned so terribly that there
was no hope of saving her life.
She was taken to St. John and
Dr.. Warren alleviated her suffer-
ings until she passed away. Mrs.
Merrick was widow and leaves
two children, son and daugh-
ter. No blame attaches to MIR.
and Mrs. Bryant for the frightful
accident, as they had repeatedly
warned Mrs. Merrick not to go
into the room with a light. A
temporary forgetfulness of this
request led to the fearful const-
quences.

NORTH DAKOTA
QUARANTINE OFF
CATTLE SCABlES WEST OF The MIS-
souri, RIVER ARE STAMPED
r. OUT.

Washington, Aug 26-The secre-
tary of agriculture has issued an
order effective September l, re-
leasing from quarantine on &C.
count of scabies or mango in cat
tie that portion of North Dakota
lying south and west of the Mis-
sissippi river. Up to October 1,
1908, the entire state was in quar-
antine for this disease, but on that
date the part north and east of the
Missouri river was released, the
disease having been eradicated
from that section. The work of
eradication has been continued by
cooperation between the federal
and state authorities with such
good effect that the entire state is
now pronounced free from the di-
sease and the quarantine is re-
moved from the last remaining
portion.
The area still under federal
quarantine on account of this di-
sease comprises the northeastern
part of Montana, the southeastern
part of Wyoming, the eastern por-
tions of Colorado and New Mex
leo, the western portions of South
Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas and
Oklahoma, the panhandle of Tex
as, and small area in the extreme
southern part of Texas. The fed
eral and state authorities are
working in these regions, and it is
the policy of the department Of
agriculture to remove its squaran-
tine as rapidly as the disease is
eradicated from any considerable
area.
