FIREBuGs IN TIMBER TRACT
Lumber interests Raising Fund for
Private Detective Work.

Duluth, Sept. 1.-THE belief prevails
among lumbermen and timber owners
of this city that many of the disas-
trous forest fires which are happening
in Northern and Northeastern Mime
sofa are of incendiary origin and there
is a quiet movement on foot to appre-
bend and make an example of some of
the guilty persons. Fires are original
ing in sections far removed from rail-
roads and in virgin ~wildernesses and
parties who start them are considered
guilty of incendiarism or criminal
carelessness. Lumbermen and timber
owners are planning a private fund
and the employment of private detec-
tives to run the guilty parties down.

Girl Bitten by Rather.

Vida George, daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. Elmer George of Bowman, was
bitten by a rattlesnake. In going
through a fence she stepped on a sage
brush in which the reptile was coiled,
the RATHER biting her on the ankle.
The girl had the presence of mind to
bind her shoe lace tightly above her
ankle and this fact probably saved her
life. Though she is very sick, there
is every reason to believe she will re.
cover.

TWO YOUNG PEOPLE DROWN
Mystery Surrounds Double Tragedy
Near RolIa.

A story of tragedy surrounded with
mystery comes from Rolla. The
principals were T. A. Kyle, aged twen-
ty-seven years, manager of the Corner
hardware store in Rolla, and Miss
Kate Bracket, aged twenty-five years,
deputy register of deeds of Pine City,
MINI.
The two were out in Fish lake, a
short distance from shore. The lake
was calm. People IN shore heard a
woman's creams and investigation re.
vealed an upturned boat.
How the young people came to their
death probably will forever remain a
mystery. The bodies when recovered
gave no clue to the cause of the
tragedy.

Western Governors Quit
Conservation Meet.
RESENT THEIR TREATMENT
Executives of Several States on Leav.
ing St. Paul Declare They Were
Practically Eliminated From the
Convention - Majority Of Them
Were for State Rights as Against
Federal Supervision.

st. Paul, Sept. 7.-Declaring there
is nothing more they can do and be-
lieving they have been practically
eliminated from the convention the
Western governors have announced
their intention Of leaving st. Paul at
once. Governor Brooks of Wyoming,
Governor Vessey of South Dakota and
Governor Norris of Montana have al
ready gone. Governor Hay of Wash.
ington will depart shortly and thereby
goes the fighting contingent" of the
National Conservation congress.
Dissatisfaction over their failure to
receive recognition at the hands Of
the congress as a whole was evi.
denced by the executives from the
West. Each tried to put forth a cheer
full front, but it was an effort which
was close to failure. Governor Norris,
in particular, was bitter in his denun-
citation.
why" he said, eve couldn't break
into that meeting now with a bur.
glars jimmy. It's all right. We've
got a Democratic state convention in
Livingston Thursday and l must be
there to attend it. We Democrats are
somewhat scarce in Montana and we
all want to count"
Norris is a Democrat. 1t was he
who made the fighting speech be-
fore the congress which really brought
on the clash with Governor Stubs of
Kansas, the presiding officer.
Hay Resents Treatment.
Governor Hay of Washington was
in a cheerful mood. yet the result of
the first session of governors was still
before him. eff the congress really
wished to arrange a conference be-
tween governors" he said, why didn't
they let the governors run it instead
of laying everything out, cut and
dried, before we started"
He smiled cheerfully when mention
Of his wordy war with Stubs was
made.
Governor Brooks had little to say.
The chief executive of Wyoming is
depressed because of a sad mission
which he has just performed. On
Monday, one week ago., the day after
Colonel Roosevelt was in Cheyenne,
Governor Brooks received a message
from Fort Wayne, Ind, announcing
the death of his mother. He has been
at Fort Wayne to attend the funeral
and is on his way home.
"TEere is nothing I a add to
what ] have already said," Governor
Brooks declared. II am for, state
rights-the congress does not believe
in it. but rather wants federal super
vision. I have had my say and am
going"

Upset stomach is the cause of nerv-

gases which irritate the pneumogastric

running through the stomach.
1t is also the irritation of this great
pneumogastric nerve tnat causes head
aches. Many times people have severe
headaches and know they are caused
by the stomach, but do not know how.
If you are nervous, have dreams or
nightmare, and do not sleep sound at
night. get a so cent box of MI-O-NA

after or with meals. MI-O-NA stomach
