KING ED HAS BIRTHDAY.
Ruler of British Isles and Boss OF
India Is Sixty-Eight.

London, Nov. Edward VII of
Great Britain and Ireland and the Bri-
fish dominions beyond the seas, king,
defender of the faith and emperor of
India, today celebrated his sixty eighth
birthday. Guns doomed in a royal sa-
lutte, brother monarchs sent messages
of congratulation and there was gen.
eral rejoicing, but the spectacular fea-
lures of the observance were far over
Swallowed by the celebration of Lord
Mayors day, which marked the Undue
ton into office of Sir John Knill, the
Catholic chief executive of London.
Today's pageant in honor of the
Lord Mayor was shorn of many of the
features familiar in past years. The
floats and other spectacles illustrating
the ancient history of London were ELI
minated, and the pageantry took the
form of a great military parade. A
banquet this evening will be attended
by many of the notables of the king.

VICTIM OF ORIGINAL SwINDLE
Alling Carlson Finds Awful Lemon
in His Pay Envelopes.

st. Paul, Nov. 6.-Alling Carlson, an
employee of the Booth line of Lake
Superior steamers is the victim of an
original swindling game, which was
worked on him successfully each week
for ten consecutive weeks. Mr.. Carl
sen was at the Boardman hotel YES
terday and told his story without re-
serve.
1t was customary to pay employees
every Monday. Mr.. Carlsen's salary
of SIS week was paid in two gold
pieces, a ten and a five. About three
months ago he was far enough ahead
financially to think about saving a
little and he took a novel way.
Instead of opening his envelope on
pay day he took it home and locked it
up in his trunk. Last week, with
twelve of these envelopes to the good,
Carlson decided to leave Grand Marais
and visit his home in Cerro Gordo
county, Iowa. He quit his position and
packed his things for the journey.
Then in the solitude of his room he
lined up the twelve envelopes and
opened them one by one.
Out of the first, instead of two
shining pieces of gold there fell sill
yer 5O-cent piece and a niclle. Carl
sen was astounded and then anxious.
He hastily opened the other eleven. In
only two was there gold. When the
agony was over the little pile showed
just $3.50 instead of $3.50 in yellow
gold.
Il do not remember telling any one
that L was saving the pay envelopes, y
said Mr.. Carlson last night, ''but it
must have got to the cashier. He left
Grand Marais two days before I
learned of his trickery, and the worst
of it is that 1 shook hands with him
at the dock. He went to Port Arthur
Mr.. Carlson left last night for Ma
son City, Iowa. He placed his claim
in the hands of a Grand Marais law
yer before leaving. Sheriff Carhart
of Cook county has sent descriptions
of the missing cashier to several points
in Canada.

CAMBRIA DWELLING DAMAGED
Family and Neighbors Prevent Entire
Destruction of Home.

The story and half frame resi-
dence of William c. Williams of Cam
bria was damaged by fire Thursday
evening, and it was only by the hard
work of the family and neighbors that
the house was not entirely consumed,
with its contents. The fire was dis
covered at about seven o'clock, and
seems to have started from defec-
tive chimney. The alarm was given
as soon as the fire was discovered, and
the neignbors ran to the assistance of
the family, and the flames were con-
fined to the second story, although it
looked for time as though the house
would go. All of the household goods
and clothing on the second floor were
damaged or destroyed, but the only
thing downstairs to suffer was the
range. which was broken in being re-
moved
Mr.. Williams loss will be upwards
of 500, and he carried no insurance.
Repairs on the house are in progress.

"JEFF" SAYS HE WILL WIN
Confident That He Can Wrest Honors
From Johnson.

New York, Nov. S.-Tom Sharkey
has received telegram from Joe
Miller of Ponce, Ok, declaring that
Governor Haskell has sanctioned the
proposition to hold the Jeffries john
son fight in that state for any mum
Der of rounds.
Miller submitted a bid of $4,000
for the fight some time ago, but it
was not considered seriously because
of the belief that the contest could
not be held in that state. The mes
sage from Miller also includes the in
formation that he will be here next
week to perfect arrangements.
Jeffries, who has returned to active
gymnasium work and road training
after two days of deep sea fishing, has
assured Sheriff Foley, who is an old
friend of his, that he will knock John
son out inside of ten rounds, and has
advised the sheriff to "bet the limit
on him."

Grafton of Labor and state labor COM
missioner, has sent communication
to Governor Adolph O.. Eberhart re-
question on behalf of the federation
that the governor restore the board of
arbitration for the settlement of dis
putes between workingmen and their
employers.
Such board is authorized by leg
islatiye act and some years ago an at
tempt was made to maintain it as a
tribunal for adjusting differences be-
tween capital and labor, but it's off
ces were not solicited to any great ex-
tent by either side.
At the last annual meeting of the
State Federation the convention adopt
ed resolution approving the restora-
ton of the board and delegated Mr.
McEwen to present the matter to the
governor. Governor johnson approved
the idea and had the matter under con-
sideration before he went to Rochester
and his death. The question is now put
up to Governor Eberhart.
The law provides for a board com
posed of one member who is an employ
er, second recommended by organized
labor, and third selected by the two
other members The law also appropri
ates $1,000 annually for the expenses
of the board.

DINEHART IS IN THE GAME.
Is a Candidate for the Congressional
Nomination. Second District

George Author, the political man on
The Minneapolis Tribune, writes that
State Treasurer c. C. Dinehart will
be a candidate for the republican NOM
ination for congress in the second dis
trict. This can be stated ION the best
authority, although Mr.. Dinehart is
not ready to make his announcement
now. Heretofore, the progress of the
story of the second district has brought
Mr.. Dinehart nearer the verge of de-
cision, and for the past few days it
has been understood he had practically
made up his mind to enter the race
That decision has now been reached
OF course, his failure to make a
formal announcement will make it pos
sible, in view of unexpected contin-
gencies, for the state treasurer to re-
consider, but should he make any such
decision, it would be reconsideration.
His mind is now made up.
The state treasurer has debated
earnestly with himself relative to the
advisability of going into the fight at
Chio tlHic. n lew NtChS dSO Hc put IL
up to his friends in the district to
decide for him. 1t is understood that
conferences have resulted and that
State Senator F. E. Putnam and State
Senator Garfield will not make the
fight this time, giving Mr.. Dinehart
his chance This will leave F. E..
Ellsworth of St. James, the home
town of Congressman Hammond, the
only other man in the field. The recent
rumor that James T. McCleary would
get into the race again is being dis
credited, and it is hardly believed that
Paul Ewert of Pipestone will enter the
primary.
Mr.. Dinehart's formal announcement
of candidacy will come at the proper
time, and in the meantime it can be
understood in the Second district shat
when the proper time comes Mr.. Dine
hart will be there" Peter J. Schwarg
of Dodge Center, George E. Hanscom
of Foley and Henry Hanke of Mime
apolis are among those who are being
discussed for the Dinehart succession
and there will probably be others in
the race.

TO KNIGHTS
SERMON DELIVERED BY REV. w.
E. EVANS LAST EVENING.
Object of Order of Pythianism; Broad
Pattern as Outlined By Pastor of
Welsh Calvinistic Methodist Church;
the Evil of Money-Getting; Seems
to Be the One Great Aim in the
Lives of Men.
From Mondays Daily.

The Knights of Pythias held their
annual memorial services last evening
at the Welsh c. NJ. church. The
lodge attended in a body, and had re-
served seats. A large emblem, wrought
in flowers of the colors of the order,
occupied place of prominence at the
altar. Special music was furnished by
the church choir.
Rev. W. f. Evans preached an able
sermon, which was greatly appreciated
not only by the knights present, but
by the large regular congregation that
was gathered. AS an Introductory, he
gave a word of welcome, and stated
the principles that the Knights as an
order stood for. How were they going
to realize this standard, or live up to
these principles, high and beautiful as
they were?
Object of the Order.
Man was an artist and needed not
merely the material out of which to
work an expression of his thought, but
also an ideal, or an example to fol-
low. For this reason he believed that
the founder of the order had attached
the name of Pythias to it, and his OBJ
ject was to gather together in one
mighty fraternity worthy men who APP
preciate the true meaning of friendship,
as exemplified by the pathetic story of
Damon and Pythias. With all due re-
spect to Pythias, faithful friend that
he was, the speaker wished to say
that the object of the order of Knights
of Pythias was higher, deeper and
broader, and consequently he wished to
invite the attention of his listeners
to higher pattern.
Rev. Evans announced the text as
Jonn ~, first part of the Goth verse:
"Come, see a man. This was the
invitation of the woman of Samaria
to her fellow citizens when she found
her ideal. Christ was man of men,
man for men, man seeking men.
He was man for men, indeepndent of
the sexes, Independent of the nations,
independent of the ages. He was a
man after men, a man seeking men
seeking to uplift and to save them.
What do we see around us daily /?
Men seeking money as their highest
aim. A journal was started the other
day and had these words in the first
sentence of its prospectus: "That I'M
doubtedly a mans first object in life
was to make money" This was
meant seriously and not as a satire.
Money the Root of Evil.
Is not the love of money the root
of all evil? The speaker said that
the ideal That he held up this even
ing was not a man after gold and sill
Yer, but a man after men. Christ
was man after men in eternity.
When he came to us he came to seek
and save. The speaker was glad to
say that Christ was a man after men
today. What was the meaning of all
this? Look at the ideal Is he not
higher up and is ne not pure eonugh?
One artist said that he would give
all that he had to see the Lasquez for
one day, for one hour. But the SPLEEN
did privilege is granted to us to behold
our ideal through life.

WARM CAMPAIGN IN PROGRESS
Fairmont in the Throes of Struggle;
Charter Amendment.

Fairmont, Mimi, Nov. 6.-This city
ment campaign that is arousing much
feeling. The present charter leaves the
question of saloon license in the hands
of the council, with no chance for the
people to express their sentiments ex-
cept by the indirect method of voting
for councilmen. An amendment has
been prepared by the charter commits
sion which provides that on petition
of ten legal voters twenty days before
the general city election, the city clerk
shall submit the question of license to
the direct vote of the people.
The saloon men are opposing this,
as they want to hold the advantage
they now have, while those who be-
lieve in majority rule favor it.
Next Sunday evening a meeting will
be held at the opera house by friends
of the amendment, at which there will
be a general discussion of the meas
ure.
Strange as it may seem, the result
of the fight is in doubt, as every
means possible is being employed to
throw dust in the eyes of the voters,
and make them believe it is a ques-
ton of license or no license, as the
town is largely for license this argu-
ment may cut big figure.
The eelction will be held next Tues
day and the result will be in doubt
until the votes are counted.
The fall term of the district court
next Monday, with rather a
short calendar and very few eases that
are likely to occupy much time.

THE TEST OF A FISHERMAN

The world has many anglers, but
Real fishermen are few;
An angler loves to sit and chat
About the sport with you.
He'll tell you how he loves the game
How he could spend all day
Casting baited hook for bass
In river, lake or bay.
And yet the angler is a man
Oh, there are lots of them
Who will not quit his bed to fish
At 4 o'clock a. m.
The fisherman will rise at dawn
And quickly slip away
To cast his line into the deep
Before it's break of day,
The angler, though, the night before
VIII swear that he will rise,
But when the fisherman gets up,
1t is in vain he tries
To rouse the angler from his sleep
He sticks into his cot;
Would he get up to 4 a. m.
To fish? Well, L guess not.
The fisherman will row boat
For miles and miles and miles,
And catching but fish or two,
His face is wreathed in smiles.
The angler wants a cushioned seat
And room to stretch and yawn;
A place to sleep if they don't bite
And WEAKNESS comes on.
The morning star knows fishermen,
And, smiling, welcomes them;
The anglers, though it never sees
They sleep till a. m.

BIG SCHOOLS ARE IN A TRUST
Superintendent Declares Colleges and
Universities Have Combined

Milwaukee, Wis, Nov. S.-State SUI
perintendent G. P. Cary startled the
special legislative joint committee on
education yesterday with the assertion
that there is a "trust" of universities
and colleges in the north central states
to dominate the high schools in their
territories.
Superintendent Cary said there was
not one of the city superintendent,
who did not look out to see that his
high school was on the accredited list.
"What is that North Central asso-
ciation?" asked Chairman Edward
Leroy.
cit is trust association of univer-
stiles and colleges put together to
bring the graduates of high schools
into the universities and then place
them back in the nigh schools as
teachers. They will not have anyone
but university graduates in the schools.
School men in this state do not dare
to say they do not like it.
