Park view Perfection burning a great raw spot on the poor beast, and causing it to suffer untold agonies, probably with the purpose of preventing it's exhibi- tion at dog shows.

Paris, Oct 11.-Aeroplanes for the delivery of urgent mail will be used by the French government in the event automobiles fail during the present great railway strike, which threatens to involve every line in France and completely tie up traffic
 Automobiles are being used along the line. of the Northern Railway, where 45,oOO men went out last night. Only mail is being carried. The army has forty aeropIanes and experienced aviators, while there are more than 1000 aviators in France who, as members of the army reserve, are liable to be called upon for this pur pose.
 Serious trouble is feared if the au- thorities persist in their apparent de- termination to force the strikers to return to work by use of the com pulsory military act. Under this law, all the strikers are subject to mili- tary duty and if summoned to the co1ors and ordered to man the rail- way, could be compelled to obey or be terme ed as deserters.
 The strikers declare they will not respond to any order calling them into military service All the papers

are urging the necessity for an extra session of the parliament to settle the strike.
 Many telephone, telegraph and sig nal lines have been cut by the str1k- CTS along the Northern Railway, So that any effort to run trains will be fraught with danger.
 It is more than probable that with in a few hours, strikes will be de- clared on all the railroads of France, including the lines owned by the state, and that s0O,OoO persons will be out.
 The strike started on the Northern Railway because of the demand for $1 as minimum wage and 10 per cent. wage increase all around. to- gether with shorter hours and a more general construction of the pension laws.
 So serious does the government re- gard the beginning of the strike that the Care Du Nord (Northern Rail way depot) and the entire line of the company, is occupied by troops.
 The strikers have already. derailed an engine at Tergnier and later today crashed another engine into the wreckage, completely tying up the line. As a result, the Cologne Ex- press is at Tergnier and communica- tion with that portion of Germany is held up.

EMMONS COUNTY town
HAS TROUBLE over name

Braddock, N. d., Sept. 2.-lt is re-
freshing in these days of trouble and
uncertainty to know that the village
Of Larvik, Em:nons county, is to have
a new and undiluted name-With a
short handle to it. From its very in
ception Larvik has been a good town,
but since it first appeared on the map
it has been stinted in the matter of a
name, and now that It is about to
come into it's own all will rejoice
with the Aucly little city. In 1903,
when the Northern Pacific railway ran
down from Mckenzie and Larvik made
its bow to the cruel world, it was
known by the almost vulgar name Of
"Godkin." Then a Mr.. Brophy ap-
peared, captured the postoffice and
called it "Brophy," but the postoff1ce
department took hand in the matter
and named the young metropolis
"Brofy." Later Larvik & Foell pur-
chased Brophys store and secured the
postoffice. 1t appears that each part
ner elected to call the town after his
own name, and for time honors
were divided between "Larvik" and
"Foell," inc young hopeful answering
to either name. Later the Temple
Brothers arrived from South Dakota,
purchased a tract of land adjoining
the townsite, established a newspaper
and made other improvements till
the town fairly groaned under the
burden of it's old names, and it was
promptly changed to Temple" But
Temple is a very plain, everyday
name, and now the daily papers in.
form us that the enterprising natives
have succeeded in having it changed
to "Templeville"- truly classical
name and one that insures the future
success of the orphan village.

filing RESUMED
ON RESERVATIONS

Aberdeen, S. d., Sept. 1.-The land
filing for the Cheyenne River and
Standing Rock reservation lands was
resumed lat o'clock this morning, at

der the direction of Judge James w.
Witten of the department of the in
terror. The first 5000 we're called last
spring, when an adjournment was TAX
en- until today. Claude Daugherty of
Berne, Ind, is the holder of No. 8,vvA,
the first number called today. The
filing will be continued until October
26, on which day No. 10000 will be
called. After that date, the land on
the reservation remaining unified up
on will be open to general entry. OF
the first 5000 winners, but 49, avail
ed themselves of the opportunity to
secure homestead. Of the $4,000
numbers between 5000 and 10000, it
is believed the proportion not filing
will be still greater. Experienced land
men who have toured the reservation
country say there will be many fine
homesteads left after the 10000 num-
bers are called, the only disadvantage
being that they will be somewhat far
from towns.

Has Been Benefit.

I'm fact believe that the present
season has done North Dakota more
real good than most people imagine.
1t not only has shown conclusively the
richness of North Dakota soil and
what it will do even without moisture,
but it has also taught the farmers q
real lesson. What North Dakota soil
has needed for some time is to be
properly farmed and profting by the
lesson Of this season, in which pro-
gressive farmers have reaped their
reward, all agriculturalists will en-.
deavor to work their land better.
More corn will undoubtedly be sown
next year and the big result Of the
past season will be better and more
up to date farming.
AS far as my own work Is cOnseru-
ed, / have found the people always
ready and willing and this season has
been no different than last year on
this respect. I reported some $4Q,-
900 Of the endowment fund raised last
year and when the conference con-
venes at Bismarck on Oct. / expect
to be able to report total of $780,
900 for the two years."

TWO DROWNED
At FISH LAKE
SURROUNDS ACCIDENT
WHICH RESULTED FATALLY
FOR YOUNG PEOPLE,.
Cry for Help Heard BY People On
Shore Supposed Man Died OF
Heart Failure and That Girl Was
Drowned - Both Parties Pronin-
ent in Social Circles.

Devils Lake, N. D., Sept. "a dig
tressing accident occurred at Fish
lake, near Rolla, Sunday evening
by which two well known society
young people Of Rolla lost their llves
by drowning in the lake.
+. A. Kyle, a prominent young bus1
ness man of Rolla, and Miss Kathryr
Bracket, deputy register Of deeds OF
aolette county, were the victims.
Just how the accident happened
probably will never be known. The
couple were boat riding on the lake
about 9 o'clock in the evening. A cry
was heard from the young lady, but
as it was not repeated those who
heard it were in doubt as to whether
or not it was a distress cry, and it
was so dark that the party could not
be seen.
Both Mr.. Kyle and Miss Bracket
were athletes, and both were good
swimmers. An examination of the bod.
les showed that there was no water
in Mr.. Kyle's lungs, from which the
conclusion is drawn by friends OF the
unfortunate couple that Mr.. Kyle had
been stricken with heart failure and
was dead before the body struck the
water, the theory being that when he
was stricken his body fell to one side,
tipping the row boat over. That Miss
Bracket made an effort to save her
self is shown by the fact that her body
was found within thirty feet of the
shore, while her companions body was
sixty feet from shore. The accident
occurred in twenty-five feet of water.
1t is said that the couple were be-
trothed, having been engaged for
some time.
Mr.. Kyle was about thirty years of
age and was the eldest son of Mrs. A.
J. Kyle. He was manager Of the
Kyle Hardware company, succeeding
his father, who died few years ago,
and had resided at Rolla since he was
