Cape Town, South Africa, August
3O.-One of the gravest problems
now confronting the new Union of
South Africa is that of the use of
liquor by the natives, and a great
temperance movement was launch
representatives of all temperance
societies and many of the religious
organizations of the Union. Legis-
lation to prohibit the sale of in
toxicants to natives, similar to that
adopted by the United States in
protecting the Indians, is favored
by the delegates. 1t is unlikely,
however, that the general govern
ment will act in the matter and that
the settlement of the problem will
be left to the states comprising the
South African Union. The British
colonial office will be urged by
resolutions to deal with such states
in Africa as are not under the
jurisdiction of the Union.
Complaints of Liquor Drinking.
From all of the British posses
sions in Africa, from as far north
west as Niagara and southeast as
British East Africa and Somaliland
and from the nearer states of the
Transvaal, Rhodesia and Bochuan-
aland, delegates have come here to-
day and all tell the same story of
the undermining of the health of
the natives by their tremendous
consumption of alcoholic beverages.
1t is also alleged that the whites in
Africa suffer far worse effects from
indulgence in liquors than in Eu-
rope. 1t is said that ten million
cases of spirits year are consumed
in British African states, in addi.
ton to the large amounts of beer,
wines and cordials.
International relations enter into
the consideration of the matter, as
by far the greater proportion of
alcoholic beverages used in South
Africa are shipped here from Ham
burg and are German products. 1t
is even asserted that the deteriora-
ton due to alcohol will enable the
German government, within a few
years, to take what territory it
pleases in South Africa without fear
of local opposition or protest.

This robbery coming at this time
is indeed unfortunate to Postmaster
Lyons, who has just recently got in
to his new quarters. He moved his
old fixtures into the new building
Thursday p. m. and decided to oc-
cupy the building until his new fix

SHERIFF VISITS SCENE
I Chased Some False Clues; May
Have One Up His Sleeve.

Have One Up His Sleeve.
Sheriff Anton Osten and Deputy
Sheriff Hilgers went to the scene of
the robbery during the forenoon.
They looked over the premises, but
did not obtain any more information
than what has been stated.
The sheriff learned that a couple
of men drove into the village last
night and stopped at the Mueller
leile blacksmith shop where they
had some repairs made to their
machine. The sheriff looked up
these parties and found out that they
were from st. Paul and were the
guests of relatives at one of the
Madison Lake cottages. 1t was a
case of chasing a rainbow. These
men were no more concerned in the
robbery than the man in the moon.
Before leaving town the sheriff
learned that strange woman made
her appearance in Madison Lake
yesterday and was particular to in
quire the location of the postoffice.
Whether she was acting as the ad-
vance guard for the burglars has not
been determined by the authorities.
Sheriff Osten is of the opinion that
he has a clue to the robbers, but
will make no move until the arrival
of the postoffice Inspector from ST.
Paul late this afternoon. Another
inspector from Wells is due to reach
Mankato this evening.
The safe that was burglarized was
purchased by Postmaster Lyons
from James Gilbride, a rural mail
carrier, just previous to the fire
that destroyed large portion of the

Duluth, August 3O.-FOurteen Prot
estant Episcopal bishops, represent
ing both the United States and Can
ada, will be guests in Duluth Friday,
Saturday and Sunday, in attendance
on the annual convention Of the
Sixth Missionary department. Be-
sides these distinguished clergymen,
there will be scores of priests and
laymen from all over. the northwest.
This convention will be the most
important Episcopal church, con.
vention ever held in Northern Mime
sofa.
Two of these distinguished bishops
are leaders in the church in their
respective countries: The Rt. Rev.
Daniel Sylvester futile, who is the
third bishop of Missouri, being the
presiding bishop of the church in
the United States; and the Most Rt
Rev. Samuel Pritchard Matheson of
Winnipeg, who is the lord archbishop
of Rupert's land and metropolitan.
The Work in Canada.
The history of the church work in
Canada offers some interesting in
formation, for the dominion has
vast range of territory, which but a
few years ago was popularity believed
TO be uninhabitable, and with but 4
narrow strip of land adjacent to the
border of the United States, unpro-
ductive.
But this delusion has vanished and
today it is found to be capable of
agricultural development, and rich in
its mineral treasures, and the new
land seems everywhere to be pulsat-
ing with life, as the pioneers from
all parts of the world press in by
the tens of thousands, that they may
take possession of the prairies and
forests, the fisheries and the mines
of Canada.

Archbishop Of Ruperts Land.
The prelate at present filling that

Archbishop Matheson is western

He was born at Kildonon, Man.,

under the care Of Archbishop Mack

served in the diocese of Ruperts
