NOT SURE, BUT HOPEFUL
France Believes Germany Will
Accept Terms Proposed for
Moroccan Settlement.

PARIS, September 1.-While the
French foreign Office, 1t is understood,
has not received any sure indica tion
that Germany will accept the French
proposals for a settlement Of the Mo-
roccan question, a measure of conf
dence is felt in an early agreement
because of the extent Of the compen-
sations which are to be offered by
France. Since these are central Afri-
can areas. it is not supposed. that Ger
many would proceed to extreme
lengths over a few thousand square
miles, more or less.
Principal Obstacle.
The real difficulty in the way OF an
early settlement. II is believed at the
foreign office. lies in the special com
mercial and mining guarantees which
Germany may seek in Morocco. as
nothing can be given Germany in Mo-
rocco. which Great Britain does not
possess. Besides, anything like spe-
cial privileges would AFFORD endless oc-
casions for the reopening OF the con-
troversy on questions OF Interpretation
The French and British governments
have reached the fullest mutual agree.

Ships in Distress.

CHARLESTON, S. c.. September l.
Further reports OF the damage to ship
ping by the hurricane OF Sunday are
anxiously awaited here. The revenue
cutter Yamacraw. which rescued the
Lexington's passengers and the people
on the schooner Bessie Whiting, is

Evidence Of Quick Rebuilding.

Upon every hand there is evidence OF
quick rebuilding. all the mechanics in
town being rushed with jobs. 1t is
thought that the oyster factories here
and at Beaufort will be out Of commits
sion this season, the plants being
wrecked and the oyster boats smashed
badly.
Further reports do not change the
damage estimate of a million dollars.
In fact, many believe the total loss to
be greater. 1t is an accumulation Of
small losses. The fertilizer plants in
the suburbs are striving to get into
shape, all of them having suffered.
Lofty acid chambers caught the brunt

day. but may be in operation tomorrow.

Don't Breathe LaziIy.

IF you are consumptive. if you think

: '"'Of course singing alone will not
save you from consumption or cure

plenty of fresh air and good food And.
speaking of fresh air. must say that
not one person in hundred knows
how to inhale it. People seldom
breathe deeply enough. They seldom

which resemble stuffy, insanitary

Killed bv a Shout,

A joyful shout thoughtlessly given
by an Italian smuggler on having
eluded the customs guards on the
Swiss frontier was the cause of his
six companions being killed by an
avalanche. The party, coming from
the Grisons. had, with a thousand pre-
cautions, successfully negotiated the
Forcola pass on the Swiss-Italian bor-
der: Five of the men were loaded
with valuable contraband goods. and
two acted as guides and scouts. When
they were all safely on Italian soil one
OF the guides named Maretoi gave
vent to joyful yodel. In the still
air the least sound causes vibration
which may set enormous masses of
snow moving. This is what occurred
here. A quarter of million tons of
snow, detached itself from the noun
tain side and came laundering down
upon the party, who were swept in an
instant into an abyss. Maretoi alone
was able to extricate himself.

CHURCH PARTY BRINGS CROWD
Catholic Fund Enriched While Many
Red Cross Seals are Sold.

The women Of st. Phillips Catho-
lie church gave a card party last
night in the Knights of Columbus
hall, the proceeds of which will go
to the benefit of the church. Pro-
gressive cinch was played, % tables
being in use. The hall was crowded,
many persons being unable to play.
At 1880 lunch was served to about
SO guests. A delegation Of women
of the Women's Study Club consist
ing of Mrs. c. R. Sanborn, Mrs. L. IT.
Bailey, Mrs. F. S. Arnold and G. p.
Battles were present and sold Red
Cross stamps, $40 worth Of the seals
being disposed Of After lunch At
torney P. J. Russell gave a brief talk
on the sale of the Red Cross stamps,
telling of their use and how from
humble sales of a few years ago, the
sales have grown until the seals now
plaster the nation. Mrs. Sanborn ex-
planned that the money from these
sales would not be used largely in an
effort to prevent the spread of tuber-
culosis. Large orders for stamps for
the Northern Grocery company and
the Bemidji and Crookston Lumber
companies as we'll as smaller individ-
ual orders, were taken. The women

Checkmate!

In these days, when various schemes
are being suggested by which the loser
of personal property may recover it
without offering an extreme reward. it
is interesting to note two ADVERTISE
ments which appeared last summer in
German paper. In these advertise
ments nothing SO bald as a suggestion
of reward appeared. They seem mere
" to present two wits fencing, and the
reader forgets the matter at stake:
Berlin, Aug. 5.-The gentleman who
found purse. valuable beyond ex-
PLANTATION, in the Blumenstrasse, is re-
quested graciously to forward it to the
address Of the loser, as he is recog-
niZed.
Berlin. Aug. 6.-The recognized gen.
tleman who found purse. valuable
beyond explanation. begs that the loser
will call at his house at the earliest
convenient hour.

FORESTER COX WRITES A BOOK
Tells of Some Astounding 1nhabi-
tants of Timbered Sections.

State Forester w. T. Cox probably
will be branded the prize nature fax
ir by people who read hastily his new
book, "Fearsome Creatures of the
Lumber Woods" which is just from
the press. In this book Mr.. Cox de-
scribes some horrible animals that
are said to infest the forests in parts
of America.
For instance there is the ''tripode-
70" scientifically known as the "col-
lapsesofemuris geocatapeltes,'' which
tinhabits the chapperal and foothills
of California. The animal is said to
have two legs that can be heightened
or shortened like a telescope and also
has tail like kangaroo. 1t raises
itself above the brush by elongating
it's legs and when it seems it's victim
it attacks him by throwing guilds of
dried clay at him. The animal car
ries supply of these clay guilds in
it's left jaw. The head is nearly all
mouth and with this the 'tripodero"
blows the guild at it's victim Then
it stays by him until bones and all
are devoured.
Similar thrilling descriptions are
given of the "wapaloosie,' the ':snoli-
goster," the ''hugag," the "lepro-
caus," the "agropelter," and several
other monsters. Vivid pictures show
the animals in action.
In the introduction to the book,
however, Mr. Cox explains that the
stories are simply related as told by
the lumberjacks. Mr.. Cox says that
the woodsmen everywhere have a
habit of weaving these fanciful de-
scriptions of horrible monsters and
that these stories go the rounds of
the camps from coast to coast. AS
the lumber camps and the forests are
rapidly dwindling away, he wants to
preserve in print a few of these tales
of the lumberjacks. .-...

Public Baths Abroad.

London probably possesses more pri-
vate baths than any other city, but
in the matter of public baths it can
not claim first or even second place.
says the London Chronicle. Tokyo.
Japan, has over 800 public baths, where
100000 persons battle daily at a cost of
about one halfpenny each. CONSTANT
nople probably ranks second; then
comes st. Petersburg, famous for the
vast vapor baths to which the Rus
SLAMS flock in thousands every Saturday
evening. The finest public bath in the
world is at Vienna. It has basin 578
feet long by 1856 feet wide and can
accommodate 1900 persons. The wa
ter is changed thrice daily. ~.~ IT.

Germanv's Telephone "GirIs."

Telephone girls" in Germany can
not work after the age Of seventy,
though they can retire on pension prior
to that advanced day. Positions are
obtained by civil service examination.
The average on entering the business
must be near thirty, and, as many re-
main for life, it would be ungallant to
speak intimately of ages. Discharges
cannot be effected without consider
able red tape. When an operator has
worked up to $3.50 a year and $3.50
extra for house rent, she stays at that
pay until retired on pension.

DR.. Rowland Gilmore-"I believe

the glad, happy time of the year, and
the child is made happy through his
sturdy belief in his kindest of friends.
But aside from this joyous, happy
aspect, is there not something of
deeper significance which should be
taught concerning this worldwide
holiday? We are apt to overlook the
more important meaning of Christ
mas, in the busy, pleasant, task of
giving and receiving. A child's Wis

taught something of the truer, more
significant, reasons for celebrating
this day of all days.

the spirit which we are trying to
teach in the public schools is not the
pleasure which is derived from San

fortunate than we are. We are try.
ing to get away from the old idea

KREITER DEFENSE SCORES
Statements Made by Topeka Girl in
Murder Trial Ruled Out.

Aberdeen, s. D., Oct. 21.-The defense
scored an important point when Judge Nc
AIully refused to permit States Attorney
Harkin to introduce in evidence two state
ments regarding killing of Phillip Kreiter,
made by Mrs. Kreiter to him the day after
the killing.
Judge McAIully held while the state
ments contradicted each other in a num-
Der of particulars due consideration would
be taken of fact that the prisoner was
presumably in an exceedingly perturbed
state and not altogether responsible for
any statement she might have made re-
gardinS the affair.
The first statement detailed a quarrel
between the husband and wife in which
she claimed Kreiter seized a butcher
knife and started after her. haV-
ing previously thrown her to the floor
she tripped Kreiter and in falling he
struck on the knife which penetrated his
back The other statement made by Mrs
kreiter also claims self defense and stated
she had never loved kreiter and married
him because her parents wanted her to.
She also said Freiter was jealous and had
sco1ded her when he found she was wear

had given her

her nose because she would not go to

her with his pocketSnife open in his hand
