We can see 1t from affair;

With youngsters Of our own,
But it's mother, dearest mother,
Who always calls US home.

And remember all the whies.

been selected for the purpose, but
his name is kept a secret.
1t would be his duty to mesmorize
the czarina and then suggest to her
that she is the happiest mortal under
the sun. The latest researches on
hypnotic influence on human beings
lead the doctors to believe that this
thought. planted in the czarina's
brain when hypnotized, may react on
her when she is reawakened into nor
NAL consciousness. The treatment is
attended with some danger, owing to
the comparatively elementary char

FOUR NECESSITIES ADVANCE
Coal, Eggs, Milk and Bread Will Cost
Just Little More In the Next
Few Months.

1t is going to cost just a little more
to live in Grand Forks for the next
few months. Coal, eggs, milk and
bread, four of the necessities of life,
are likely to cost more.
People generally have a mistaken
idea as to the cost of COAL" said a
local coal merchant yesterday. II
wish to state that the price of coal is
the same the year around. During the
spring and summer months there is a
slight discount. so that people will or
der their coal and we can keep our
teams busy during the summer
months. The discount is lessened each
month until, beginning September /,
the price Is the same as 1t was the
winter before. There is no change in
the price. The discount has been
withdrawn, that is all. Coal Is really
one price all the year around. People
generally allow their coal to go until
the fall months, and then when told
the price, they imagine that it has
been advanced. The price is the same
the year around, but discount is al
lowed to those who order during the
summer"
That is the way the coal man looks
at it.
The hen will not be 30 busy from
now on. She doesn't care about work.
ing very hard during the colder
months, and the result will be an in
crease In the cost Of eggs, according
to the grocers.
The COW, too. usually insists on a
vacation, and this period Of rest and
peaceful cud-chewing usually comes
in the winter time. II she works at
all. it is not with the enthusiasm of
summer, and while the pail used to be
foam to the brim. it is now getting
down to nearer the half way mark.
Although there has been a recent
raise in the price of milk, 1t may be
that another raise will take place
soon.
The farmer has not had as good
luck this year as usual with his wheat,
and the bakers say that 1t may be
necessary to raise the cost of loaf
of bread or decrease the weight, be-
fore winter.

AGENTS TO Be TRIED
At CASS LAKE
TODAY
Men Who Examined Grip Of
Cass County Pioneer Edi.
tor to Have Hearing

United States District Attorney
Houp of st. Paul has ordered Assists
ant United States Attorney e. 8. Oak
ley Of Duluth to proceed at once to
6emtd1i and take charge of the de-
tense OF the cases against N. j. Sero
ana James Davis, government agents
arrested at Bena. first on the charge
OF robbery and later on the charge of
assault, as the result of having COM
PEELED A. A. Oliver, editor of the Cass
county Pioneer. and land appraiser,
TO- permit his grip to be examined for
the purpose of finding out whether It
contained liquor.
Sero and Davis, released ON 500
bail by Justice LANCE of Cass Lake,
are to be tried before Justice Ives at
Cass Lake this afternoon.
The arrest of these men is the
greatest sensation yet sprung since
the order from Washington was issued
closing the saloons In dry territory.
"Pussyfoot" johnson, who has charge
OF enforcing this order, has been r,oti-
fled, and the Indian department in
Washington will fight the case as to
whether the government agents are
to continue their work of searching
the baggage Of suspicious persons for
contraband liquor.
There has been considerable COM
plant that travellers are daily being
held up by Indian agents. who insist
on an examination Of grips. 1t was
because Editor Oliver doubted the
right of agents to this that the pres
ent trouble arises.
The cases probably will be taken to
the federal courts for ultimate settle
ment. Mr.. Sero said:
THE reports that there has been
any general effort on the part of
agents to hold up travellers and cause
them to submit to an examination is
not true. Where we know that there
is bootlegging business being car
ried on. We do watch suspicious char
acters. This we do in a gentlemanly
way, and If we receive courteous
treatment in return there would be no
trouble. There can be no doubt as to
our authority in this line of work.
We know that there has been ILLEGAL
traffic In liquor at such places as
Deer River and Bena, and we are u.s.
Ing the proper methods in our effort
to stamp it out"

TORIES DODGE TARIFF
Conservatives in England Unlikely to
Talk Reform

London, Sept. 14.-Tariff reform,
which in England means something
quite different from the American con-
ception, is not likely to be the slogan
of the election campaign of the con-
sentative party here next year.
The leader of the tory party, Bal
four, who is, after all, the only. real
capable man in the party, did not
seem to care to say overmuch in ia
vor of high tariff during this years
elections, and since then things have
happened in all parts of Europe
which have made it more and more
difficult to find convincing arguments
in favor Of protection, which had been
pointed out as the only political
means to fill the pockets OF every
Englishman. be he manufacturer or
common working man.
For many months the conservative
party papers have been sending tours
Of British workingmen to tarift-pro-
tected Germany, carefully selecting
towns where they might see how
much better of their fortunate breth-
ern were, how much cheaper was the
living, and how much higher the
wages than in free trade England.
Now these tours probably will cease.
for every day brings a message of the
misery Of workers In Germany, Aus
tria and France. where the common
people can no longer afford to buy
meat. because their own country does
not produce enough, and tariff wars
keep foreign meat out.
In Paris prices in all the smaller
restaurants frequented by laboring
people are going up. and the general
federation Of labor, p again agitating
the increased cost Of living, which ev-
en- the French conservative press at
tributes to tariffs.
In Germany the silesian butchers
guild has petitioned the kaiser to re-
init the duty on foreign meat, and the
striking shipbuildeEs have demanded
higher wages to meet the increased
cost of living.
In Austria the government hurried
ly took measures to promote the free
import of cattle, formerly barred to
please the agarians, and the people
are protesting against the high prices
of food.

correspondent of one of our most con-
sentative papers. the Daily Telegraph,
has, much against the policy of the ed
itors, got few lines into print in
which he warns actors and actresses
here thinking of American salaries
that these don't mean greater wealth,
because the cost of living in America
is much higher than here.
In spite of all efforts the conserva-
tive papers here cannot keep all these
facts secret. and they are now at a
loss and unable to decide what to
make the main plank in their party
platform when the election comes.

An amended petition, though much
more comprehensive In its charges,
has been prepared after a conference
between the attorney general. Dis
trict Attorney Wise. Special Attorney
Simson and Mr.. McReynolds.
It charges the sugar trust with vio-
lation of the Sherman antitrust law
and the court is asked to dissolve the
trust and issue an injunction restrain
ing the American Sugar Refining COM
pany of New Jersey from voting the
shares of the subsidiary companies
pending the redistribution of these
shares among their original owners.
The action will be in all respects sim
liar to that which resulted in the

in a general way it resembles the &C

BLOW DEALT BRIBE DEFENSE
LEGISLATOR Beckemeyer Swears Browne
Said "This Is Lorimer Money"
When Paying Him $1,000.

characterization testimony was
introduced into the senatorial investi-
cation of Senator William Lorimer's
election Thursday when Representa-
tive H. J. c. Beckemeyer of Carlyle,
ILL.,. testified that, after being requested
20 vote for Lorimer by Lee O'Neil
Browne, minority leader in the legisla'
ture, he was handed $1,000 by the lat
ter with the statement: "This is Lori
mer money.
It was the first time since the hear
ing began that direct testimony was
offered connecting the junior senator
from Illinois with the alleged corrup-
ton that existed during the forty.
sixth general assembly. Heretofore
when testimony of the payment of
money to legislators was brought in
the plea of the defense has always
been that the money was not paid for
the election of Senator Lorimer, but
for other and extraneous legislative
natters-the Jackpot in short.
Beckemeyer told Senator Frazer
that he understood he was gkting the
Il 900 for voting for Lorimer, but said
there was no promise made to him by
anyone that he should receive any
money for his vote.
