The people of both Beaudette and
Spooner and the settlers all through
the north central part of the state
have lost everything. Five thousand
are homeless and the greater part of
them absolutely destitute. Help
must reach them Gin the next day or
two, and that in a substantial way,

Details Not Known.
1t will be impossible to get de-
tails and names of the dead and in

the dead will not be found until
spring. 1t will be impossible to esti-
mate the damage or casualties until
later, but the pioneers of Northern
Minnesota must have help.
The wind shifted last night and
carried the flames away from Roose-
welt and unless it changes again the
town will be saved.
Canadian Northern trains have
been stalled since Friday night, when
a freight train went through a bridge
near Pitt.

on the way, but could not say how

Many settlers took to the woods
and have not been heard from since.
A mother and five children are
known to have been burned. The
fires are still raging and the smoke
is dense.

by fire Saturday night, 1000 people
being rendered homeless.
The Shevlin-Matthew Lumber COM

the Pat Portage Lumber company's
mill at Rainy River, Ontario, are in
ashes, with loss of more than ST.
100000 on each mill, not including
great stories of lumber.
Smoke Is Thick.
A vast pail of smoke covers the
upper Rainy river basin from Kettle
Falls to Winnipeg. Only the Cana

remains standing. Nothing can pre-
vent the destruction of dozen small
towns, hemmed in on all sides by
woods.
Even a modern fire department
could not stand against the flames,
and the settlers, with axes and shov-
els as their only weapons, are only
endangering their lives in battling
them.

To make matters worse. the III

To make matters worse, the dry
season has dried up almost every
we'll and small stream in this part
OF the state. Drenching rain and
that alone can quench the great for
est fires that are probably one hun
dred miles square, with the center
of the conflagratiOn at about the
northern boundary of Beltrami coun-
ty. Telephone and telegraph wires
are down for many miles through
the fire district and it is impossible
to obtain definite information, How
ever, it is believed that the loss of
life will be slight, confined to isolat-
ed settlements.
This having been a season of con-
tinual forest fires, the residents of
the North country have been on their
guard. The state forest rangers
were all in a month ago as their
funds were exhausted and every day
since that the hazards have in
creased.
Heavy frosts have covered the
ground with leaves and as the woods
are as dry as matches and burn
about as easily, there is no stopping
the flames. Once they get started
they simply burn themselves out.
Millions Lost.
The fire losses will run into mil
lions of dollars-just how many mil
lions it would be guess work to say.
All the burned timber must be cut
this winter or it will be a total loss.
There are no serious fires around
International Falls, but there are
hundreds of incipient blazes which
the high winds might at any time
fan into conflagration.

.TAWNEY PREPARES
FOR RACE
Congressman, Beaten at Pri.
mary, Hints He Cannot
Support Victor.

Winona, Mimi, Oct 1O.-Con-
gresham James A. Tawney has is
sued statement in regard to his de-
feat for denomination at the recent
primaries that is widely discussed
in political circles.
Some are inclined to the belief
that the pronunciamento means that
Mr.. Tawney will run as an indepen-
dent. While doubt exists that this
is Mr.. Tawney's purpose, there is not
the least doubt that unless Mr.. An
derson, who defeated Tawney, makes
certain retractions he will be bitter
ly opposed at the polls in November
by the sitting representative from
the First district.
Democrats Aid Anderson.
Mr.. Tawney offers statistics to
prove that it was only through the
aid of democratic votes that he suf-
fered defeat at the primaries. He
declares that over 1000 democratic
votes were cast for Anderson, and
emphatically asserts that there was
concerted action between Anderson
and his managers and the democratic
organization. The result, he says,
has been that the democrats dictat-
ed the nomination of both candidates
in the district
Whether this alleged thwarting of
the will of the republican voters of
the district should be ratified he
leaves for republican voters to de-
eide.
Asks Public RetractiOn.
Mr.. Tawney next refers in detail
to statements made during the cam
paign by Anderson, in which the lat
ter attacked Tawney bitterly and in
a special instance reflected on his
honesty. Mr.. Tawney asks: "How
could man, if guilty of such gross
misconduct, aid the candidate who
charges such guilt? And, if the
charge is not true, how could he aid
him without a public retraction to
that effect?" He adds that it is up
to Anderson to prove the charges or
right the wrong, if Anderson or his
friends desire his (Tawney's) sup
port.
He closes by asserting his long
continued fealty to the republican
party, and declares that no man, in
politics or out of it, can hope for
the support of a man he has wrong
fully assaulted until by public retrac-
ton he removes the stigma created
by slanderOus statements.

Letter Censorship.

In Russia one letter in every ten
passing through the post is opened
by the authorities as a matter of
course. Indeed the postal authorities
of every country have experts who
have raised letter opening to a fine
art. Some kinds of paper can be
steamed open without leaving any
traces, and this simple operation is
finished by reburnishing the flap with
a bone instrument. In the case of a
seal a matrix is taken by means of
new bread before breaking the wax.
When other methods fail the envel.
ope is placed between pieces of wood
with edge projecting one-twentieth OF
an inch. The edge of the envelope is
first fattened, then roughened and
finally slit open. Later hair line of
strong white gum is applied and the
edges united under pressure.-Lon-

others-North Carolina, Georgia, Ala

experience of little over year that
State has turned against the exclu-
sionists, and intends to let the coun-
ties and the big towns deal with the
liquor issue independently. 1t is be-
lieved that Mississippi and North
Carolina, both Of which also began
the Statewide experiment at the be-
ginning of 1909, will return to local
option at an early date. In Tennessee,
which shut out the liquor traffic, in
theory, on July /, 1909, the expert

of liberalism and sanity has gone so
far in Alabama that it enters into
the primaries for the selection of all

day." she urged, still holding out the
bill.
II would rather not risk it."
Then let me give it to you. Oh,
Mr.. Harvey, pleased"
He looked up in her face with a
sardonic sort of laugh-the soft, pity
ing light in her eyes seemed to strike
new chord in his heart.
Il will not take it, Ernestine; but,
believe me, it has done me just as
much good as if I had spent it all.
Tell your mother l cannot pay her
bill, but she is welcome to my poor
belongings here. They will sell for
something, at least, when am gone -

THE PLAY.

The world from the darkness and depths of space
Swung into the light of the newmade dawn;
Each actor advanced to his place.
And the play
From the heights of heaven from the pits of hell,
Onlookers follow the drama of Life;
But how it will end, is there tell?
Shall Right shall Wrong from turmoil and strife
Receive, when emerging from death struggle throes
The final applause when the fight is won?
Tragedy, anyway, howeer it goes;
And the Play ast
Arrayed for battle, vast armies pass by;
With pomp and splendor, proud nations appear;
Means of the downtrodden rise to the sky
Groans of the serf and the slave smite the
Still tyrannical might and the lust of spoil;
Still the rich Cypress, as IN ages gone;
Still the poor grinding in mills of toll,
And the Play goes
The cync by with his scornfu
The fool sells his soul for a bauble to wear;
Men love and hate; angels weep, devils jeer
Over hearts that breaking with shame despair
births deaths
Go down to the vale, where the dank graves yawn;
There is JOY by the cradle and grief by the grave
And the Play goes
And ever the watchers will hope doubt
While the wonderful drama of Life goes on,
Till the curtain falls and the lights out
And the play done.

DO NOT BLAME THE HEN.
lf Eggs Are Not Right, the Fault
BELONGS Elsewhere.

Ut Eggs Are Not Right, the Fault
Belongs Elsewhere.
The hen is one Of the most mod
est and hard working of individuals.
Day in and day out she tolls, adding
one egg unto another from pulletage
until her life is ended In the stew or
the oven, and the last obseQuies are
performed at the dinner table. she
won the high respect of ex-PresiGent
Roosevelt as the greatest practical
opponent OF race suicide. She has
long been the admiration and the
pride of Secretary Of Agriculture
Wilson. who contends that the wealth
Of America Is largely heaped up In
the egg basket She has won the
consideration and regard Of all of Us
who are fond OF eggs, boiled or
scrambled, and to her we are indebted
for the fried chicken that made Mary
land famous.
The South Dakota citizen who de-
mands that the government pure food
inspectors be set on the trail of the
egg must not blame the hen. The
sample that Mr.. G.. A. Neuendorf,
Of Clark, 8. Oak. has fled with the
Department Of Justice does appear to
be overripe. After examination the
Attorney General and his assistants
agree that the egg gives indications
that 1t has violated the law. But Mr..
Neuendorf must blame it on the
Northwestern cafe in which he re-
ceived 1t, not on the original manu-
facturer.
1T is embarra ssing to find your
boiled egg OF surprising strength, but
lacking the sweetness of the henfruit
in it's early youth. But It Is not the
hens fault. When she manufactured
the same and put 1t on the market
she turned out fresh goods that would
have delighted Secretary Wilson and
would have excited the sec even OF
the cynical DR.. Wiley. But after a
few vMkks on the grocer's shelf and

fate before it becomes blase. What

blame. The government prosecutors
must get after the men who lead the
eggs astray.-Baltimore Sun.

on the finishing touches, and so It was
quite dark before Ernestine again
reached home.
What do you suppose has hap
pened?" said Mrs. Glenfeld, meeting
her daughter at the door.
II don't know" said Ernestine.
Becky has broken another piece out
of the china set, I suppose"
Mrs. Glenfeld shook her head.
"Mr. Harvey has gone"
"Gone! Where?"
"The dear knows don't. Paid
his bill and gave Biddy a quarter for
herself, over and above. And he has
gone"
Ernestine's cheeks famed up, and
then grew pale. Gone! after what

Are you glad to see me, Err
nestine?"
Il don't know" the little damsel
answered, demurely. II dare say
mamma will be very happy to hear
how you are getting on"
Il should like to see her," said Mr..
Harvey, and Ernestine went to call
Mrs. Glenfeld.
II have come to ask great favor
of you, madam" he said, as the worn
! looking boarding house keeper came
! into the room.
Mrs. Glenfeld shrank into herself,

But it is not" said Mrs. Harvey,
with an amused sparkle in his eyes.

the downright widow.
81 can, if two hundred thousand
dollars will do it. I have a brown
stone house ready to receive her, and
you, too, if you will honor US by being
our guest"
Mrs. Glenfield stared at her visitor
as if he were speaking the Sanscrit
language. Ernestine uttered little
cry of establishment.
"It is true" Mr.. Harvey smilingly
asserted, turning to the girl. "You
remember that letter you gave me?
1t was the legal notification of the
death of a distant relative, whose
very existence I was almost unaware
of. l was his only heir, and his de-
cease has made me, all of a sudden,
wealthy man. Ernestine, you owned
that you loved me, when / was a poor
man; you will not withdraw your
precious heart now that I am unex-

And what did Ernestine answer?
