LOSS TOTALS MILLIONS
Brussels Exposition Partially
Destroyed by Fire.

Brussels, Aug. 16.-The Brussels
Universal International exhibition is
virtually at an end as a result of the
fire which wiped out two-thirds of the
buildings and exhibits and entailing a
loss that is estimated at from $40, OOO,.
900 to $40, 1000.
No lives were lost, but at least forty
persons were injured in the stampede
in the Bruxelles Kermesse, a sort of
American white CITY,"
The fire, which resulted from a short
circuit in the telegraph building, com
pletely destroyed the Belgian and
British sections and practically ruined
the International gallery, in which
were the exhibits of America, Austria,
Russia, Denmark, Norway, Japan, Tur.
key and Switzerland.
The French section was also virtual
ly destroyed. This section was filled
with priceless works of art, of which
those that escaped the flames were
ruined by smoke and water.
The flames were not checked until
they had reached the Italian section,
which was slightly damaged. Prac.
tically the whole of one side of the
Avenue des Natione, the central thor.
oughfare of the exposition grounds,
was wiped out. A number of houses
were also burned.
Millions of dollars worth of dia.
monds, laces, tapestries and art works
were destroyed.
The loss of these is what swells the
total to such tremendous figures, as
many of the art stores and galleries
of the old world had been ransacked
for the benefit of the exposition.

OVER THE MCCARTNEY CASE
Federal Marshal and District Court
Clash,

Federal Marshal Shea gave out an
interview in which he scores States
Attorney Fowler and District Judge
Pollock for failure to make an effort
to bring back Charles Mccartney, sus-
pected of the murder of little Grace
Burns at Fargo three years ago.
The marshal and his deputies in
handling the federal cases against Nc
Cartney and his accomplices gained
inside information on the Burns muir
der and have so much that the mar
shall offered to bear the expenses of
the sheriff to- Leavenworth and return
in case Mccartney was turned loose.
He says he presented his evidence to
the judge and states attorney and
they ignored it, further, that the court
considered the expense of the trial too
heavy and that the states attorney
did not regard the evidence as conclu-
sive.
Fargo citizens are greatly interested
in the charges made by the marshal.
Mccartney was to have been dis
charged Aug. g., but has thirty days
longer to serve for ONE infraction. In
the meantime certain residents of Far
go may bring strong pressure to bear
on the officials to take some action, as
the brutality of the crime and the
youth of the victim greatly excited
the people,

THOUSANDS DROWNED
H0rdeS Of Others Homeless and
in Want Of Food.

Toxic, Aug. 15.-With hundreds of
dead bodies caught in the collapsed
structures in the east section Of To
kio, 600, 900 japanese homeless and
near 100000 starving in the prefec.
lures adjacent to Toxic and Yoke.
hama, as the result of the floods,
prayers for mercy are ascending in
the great temples in Japan.
The governments effort to give aid
to the shelterless hordes of men, wo.
men and children and the futile eff.
forts of the civil authorities to bring
order out of chaos, have been pitiable
when compared with the tremendous
disaster brought in the cities and
towns of the Hondo low lands. From
Takasaki and Karasisawa on the north
to the ShiGuozoka river on the south,
the sea has reached out and claimed
the land, laying great stretches of
water over fertile lands, destroying
lives, wiping out homes, demolishing
residences and further impoverishing
the p%easantry.
The total number of dead cannot be
ascertained until communication with
the interior is restored. The most
conservative estimate is 5000.

News Of the Week From vari-
Gus Parts Of the State.
HARVEST IS IN FULL SWING
Practically All the Wheat Will Have
Been Cut by the End of the
Present Week.

Around Grand Forks the 1910 har.
vesting is now in full swing, and the
work has progressed with such rapid.
ity during the past few days that prac.
tically all the wheat will have been
cut by the end of the week, and many
farmers have already commenced
%threshing.
New wheat is already being hauled
to the local branch of the Russell.
Miller Milling company, 1000 bushels
having been received within the past
few days, and Manager Kavanaugh is
authority for the statement that never
before in his experience has new
wheat been received at the mill at this
early season. The extreme heat is
responsible for the grain maturing
much earlier than is ordinarily the
case.
Reports received from thirty differ.
ent towns in the state give estimates
as to the probable yield. The total
average follows: General crop, Al
per cent of last years; heat, drouth
and hail being responsible for the loss
OF SO per cent; wheat averages seven
bushels to the acre; oats thirteen
bushels and barley nine and one-halt
bushels.
1nasmuch as the yield is slightly
heavier than was anticipated, the
farmers are experiencing more or less
difficulty in securing sufficient help.
The exchange of labor is being prac.
ticed by many farmers to overcome
the shortage, but this method is not
entirely satisfactory. Wages of from
$3.50 per day upwards are being paid,
and as many have put off haying until
the grain is harvested there will be
work on hand for some time to come.

CRUSHED BY FALLING WALLS
Mayor of FL Paso, Tex, Killed While
Warning Others OF Dancer.

El Paso, Tex, Aug. 1G.-W. E. Rob-
1nson, mayor of Ell Paso. lost his life
while endeavoring to warn a number
OF firemen of imminent danger from
a tottering wall. At the same time
Todd Ware, a fireman, was instantly
killed and William Robinson and
Dave Sullivan, also firemen, were in
jured.
The casualties followed a fire which
broke out in a dry goods store. Mayor
Robinson, who had watched the fire,
left the sidewalk and approached the
building to instruct the firemen to stop
further work on the unsafe walls.
AS he approached the building a
large portion of brick wall buckled
and fell, crushing Robinson and Ware
and knocking the other men down.
Mrs. Robinson witnessed the accident
from the sidewalk.

CAYNOR IMPROVES
Wounded Mayor Of New York on
Road to Recovery.
HIS CONDITION NEAR NORMAL
Temperature, Pulse and Respiration
Are Satisfactory, but the Bullet
Has Not Been Removed.

New York, Aug. 16.-"One more day
and we will be able to call Mayor Gay
nor a convalescent," was the declare
ton at st. Mary's hospital in Hoboken
The patients condition continued sat
isfactory when he awoke in the morn
ing from his seventh night on & hos
pital cot. His attendants were frank
ly cheerful and more optimistic than
on any previous occasion.
The physicians will watch the pass
ing of the day with keen interest, fol
with its safe conclusion the dreaded
bugbear of a crisis" will be practical
ly over and they will allow themselves
to consider recovery assured. The
official bulletin was as follows:
Mayor Gaynor has passed a good
night and slept well. He has taken
n%ourishment we'll and is in good gen
eral condition. Temperature. 80 As;
pulse, 70, and respiration, 16."
The police are engaging themselves
with the theory that James j. Gal
lagher, the wound be assassin, may
have had an accomplice. Gallagher
denies this, but a man with a police
record is under suspicion.
Mayor Gaynor will be taken to the
Adirondacks just as soon as his condi
ton permits, but whether he will un
dergo an operation to remove the bull
let before his trip to the mountains
has not been fully determined.

BEATEN AND THEN ROBBED.
Wisconsin Man Badly Battered Up by
Thugs.


Frank F'allon, the victim of assault
and holdup on a freight train entering
Grand Forks, is in st. Michael's hos
pital in Grand Forks recovering from
a beating given him by thugs and by
his fall from the moving train.
William Zimmerman and John Walt
ham, the other occupants of the box
car in which the holdup occurred, have
been closely questioned by the police
and c%orroborate the story told by Fal-
lon, namely, that two masked men en-
tered the car by an end door near
Niagara and armed with dark lanterns
and revolvers, demanded money.
Zimmerman and Waltham had no
money and submitted to a search
without objection, but Fallon showed
resistance and was beaten about the
head with a heavy gun. His gold
watch, about SIS in cash and a pass
book on a minneapolis savings bank
were taken from him and he was
thrown out of the car door.
Fallon is about nineteen, and gives
Nashotah, Wis, is his home. He
was on his way back to the Twin
Cities when the affair occurred.
The police have no clue to the rob-
bers, but the theory is that among the
large number of hoboes who rode in
on that train were the guilty ones and
that it is likely from their actions that
they were former railroad men.

FRANCE HAS TOO MUCH RAIN
Wine Output Will Be Only One-third
as Much as Usual,

Paris, Aug. 16.-Further reports
have been made to the minister of
agriculture of the destruction wrought
to the wine crop in the northern part
of France by protracted rains of the
last few weeks.
In many sections of Frances best
producing grape country the vineyards
will yield practically nothing this
year. These sections include much of
the famous champagne country" and
it is now believed that there will not
be more than a third of the usual out
put of the better grades of champagne
this year. Already the price of wines
is soaring.

Women Work in Fields.

". A. Meddaugh, president of the
Westhope Commercial club, sent an
appeal to Minneapolis for SO to 100
men for harvest work. The crops are
ready, Mr.. Meddaugh says, and school
boys, old men and in some cases wo-
men are in the fields, because harvest
hands are not available. The scarcity,
Mr.. Meddaugh says, is due partly to
reports that there would be nc crop
about Westhope, while the fields are
yielding very we'll and men are in de.
mand.

CUTOFF is NOT ABANDONED
President Hill Denies Rumor Regard
ing Fargo.Minot Line.

Great surprise has been caused at
Fargo and vicinity over the recent
report that the contractors on the
Great Northern cutoff between Fargo
and Minot have been called off the
work. Two-thirds of the grade has
been ironed. No explanation is given.
President Louis w. Hill denied the
report that orders had been issued to
abandon the Fargo-Minot cutoff. 1t
was stated that probably the ground
for the report was that a good many
OF the laborers were quitting railroad
work for the bigger pay offered in the
harvest fields.

Graft in Construction Contracts on

Chicago, Aug. 16.-The new graft
investigation of the Illinois Central
railroad in connection with the letting
of grading and construction contracts
may reveal s%tealings which will rival
the cal repairing operations, accord
ing to Chicago men in close touch
with the latest inquiry.
Local officials of the railroad were
inclined to discount the reports that
as much as ST. 10 900 had been stolen
from the road in construction work on
the Southern lines. They, however,
said that the inquiry had not gone far
enough to determine the amount.

RED RIVER NOW IS VERY LOW
But Not Quite So Low as 1t Was in
1900.

The Red river will have to
drop .95 feet before it is as low as it
was on July 1, 1900. Many have
jumped at the conclusion that the riy-
ery was never so low before and that
if rain did not come at once, the river
would surely go dry.
Captain Hayes of the government
boat has prepared a table giving dates
navigation opened and the highest and
lowest points of the river since 1895.
The records before that year could
not be secured, as Captain Hayes had
sent them to Washington. Since 1895
the earliest navigation opened was
March %, this year, while the highest
point was reached in 1897, being for
ty-five feet above zero and the lowest
point on July l, 1900, being 1.6 feet be.
low zero. The zero" from which
point the measurements are made, is
confusing to many. 1t is. nothing
more nor less than the height of the
river when considered in it's normal
state, taken several years ago. The
zero" was determined before Captain
Hayes took charge of the boat at
Grand Forks, and consequently moth
ing more definite could be learned
concerning it.
10 those who gave particular atten-
ton to the river in 1900 and during
this year. the water seems lower at
present than it was then, but such is
not the case. 1t is the condition of
the bed at present that makes the riv.
er look lower than it did at that time.
The amount Of silt that has drifted in
contributes to this state of affairs.
