tionery store and the next direct
heir to riches involving the distribu-
ton of more than $1,OO0,O00 is the
good fortune which appears to be in
store for John Abercrombie of this
city.
News of his sudden wealth came
to Mr.. Abercrombie by accident,
friend stumbling upon the following
want ad in a St. Paul newspaper.
- This AID Did it.
r.. LOST RELATIVE-John Alb
ercrombie, who was living at
Cass Lake, Mimi, in 1898, is
entitled to share of the estate
of the late Sarah A. Parker, his
aunt, and he or anyone knowing
his whereabouts is asked to COM
municate Immediately with the
undersigned Geo. J. Alexander,
Richmond, Que, Can.
Mr.. Abercrombie moved from Cass
Lake to Bemidji several years ago.
and the moment his eyes rested on
the advertisement he realized that a
fortune had strangely been thrust
upon him.
She Was His Aunt.
'The woman referred to-" said Mr.
Abercrombie today,, certainly is my
aunt-she is a sister to my father"
Mr.. Abercrombie at once wrote
Mr.. Alexander in Canada. He does
not question the authenticity of the
advertisement. t5--
- There was nine children in the
Abercrombie family, of which this
aunt was one, John being the second
oldest of a family of five. There
were three girls and two boys. -
Married Wealthy Man.
Twenty years ago she married an
aged man by the name of Parker
This man was reputed to be worth
more than $1,0OO,0OO. He died few
years ago, leaving all his wealth to
Mr.. Abercrombie's aunt. This
wealth was added to by the acquisi-
ton of several thousand acres of
Canadian land.
Mr.. Abercrombie does not know
how many of his wife's brothers and
sisters are living, so that he is at
loss to hazard a guess as to how
much he may be entitled to, but. adj
mits that it clocks good" 49,.
Auditor George Sees Ad.
The advertisement containing the
glad tidings was first discovered by
James George who called Mr.. Aber-
crombie up. 1t appeared in the St.
Paul Pioneer Press on August a. -
Despite the fact that he appears
to have suddenly come into a fortune
of unknown value, Mr.. Abercrombie
refuses to become unduly excited and
assumes the attitude that it "may
mean much, or it may mean little
and will not be disappointed in any
event." e..
Mr.. Abercrombie is proprietor of a
confectionery and curio shop on Bel
trami avenue in this city.

Nearly All Contracts Let.

"Nearly all of the contracts have
now been let and the reclamation
work is going along satisfactorily,
according to Mr.. Mackenzie. He
said today that by the time the next
legislative session is held the recla-
nation board will be able to demon
strate that reclamation work as it
is low being done, experimentally,
should be extended to a much larger
scale for the acceleration of the de-
velopment and settlement of the
state.
"Mr. Mackenzie says that the i'm
migration bureau of the Northern
Minnesota Development association
will soon be opened in St. Paul and
that the work is getting under way.
Interest in the development associa-
ton has been greatly enhanced by
the constructive work being done by
the good roads committee.

Augusta, Me-, August 5.--Sixty-
five years ago today the Democratic
legislature Of the state of Maine en-
acted the first prohibition law against
the liquor traffic, thus setting an ex-
ample of statewide prohibition which
was not initiated by other common
wealths until many years later.
In another month, on September
II of this year, at general election,
the voters of Maine will be called
upon to decide whether statewide
prohibition, which has been statu-
tory from 1854 to 1884 and consti-
tutional ever since, shall remain part
of the states constitution or not.
The Fight Now World Wide.
Since the state of Maine enacted
the first prohibition law, prohibition
has made tremendous strides. The
movement is no longer state or even
a national movement, but has as
snmed an international character.
In many countries throughout the
world the war against the liquor
traffic has been taken up and the
prohibition movement has met with
varying degrees of success. -~
For this reason the battle which
is now being fought in this state is
attracting worldwide attention.
Maine was the pioneer of the pro-
hibition movement and maintained
statewide prohibition continuously
longer than any other commonwealth
in the world. 1t is quite natural,
therefore, that the coming election
is awaited with the most intense in
terest throughout the world.

that sort of thing, has his troubles

important businss. and finds some
difficulty in fitting his latch key to

head from the upper tsory of his dom

Hans denies it-veheminently, and
when the voice coldly suggests that
he repeat his own name slowly and

thoughtless parents selected all the

from one of it's foreign bank CORE
spondents-TheW Wiener Bank-Verein,
of Vienna, Austria.
The Heapital stock OF this bank is
$26, 10000. Its deposits amount to-
over 500. 1000. o0c. All this and much
more is plainly and legibly set forth
in the statement. as are the names of
the honorable gentlemen comprising
the board of directors. Possibly
these names are the most intensely
interesting part of the statement.
They are we'll known namse. familiar
and easily remembered. There's

Philip Ernst Zu Hohenlohe-Schil-
lingsfurst of Podiebrad to be a gen.
tleman of dignity and probility, for
his very name spells dignity and
probity and a whole lot else. But at
the same time you would lev think
of slapping Prinz Philip Ernst Zu-
Zu Hohenlohe-S cillingsfurst of Po-
diebrad on the back and saying,
Why, hello, Zu-Zu, old boy? How's
the lection goin'?" You just natur-
ally couldn't do it. you know, could
you now?
For one thing it would't be polite
and then there are other reasons why.

So, when you did meet him, or when
you wanted to introduce him to some

to hide your embarrassment, and
with a graceful wave of the left hand
remark:
Miss Smith, my old college chum,
Prinz Philip Ernst Zu-Zu Hohenlohe-
Schillingsfurst of Podiebrad."
Just like that. you know, and not

we here depend largely upon our
visitors for our LIVELIHOOD. and we
should exert ourselves in ever known
way to. make this town attractive to
our visitors. We have many visi-
tors here who come from commune
ties where sanitation and hygiene
are given great consideration. They
come here to our health resort. ex-
pecting and demanding that the same
consideration of sanitation and hv-
gience be exhibited. If they come and
find that we are not paying the pro-
per attention to these things, they 20
away poorly impressed with our con-
diticns and it takes them but a
short time to decide that Henderson,
vile is not the place for them. They
are not accustomed to a dust laden
air, dirty side walks, and the condi-
tons created in consequence. Of all
places where dirt and filth is not
expected, it is in the health resort.
Which candidate for mayor pledges
himself to see that the streets are
properly sprinkled daily, and the
dust kept al1ayed, so that the stroll
lers car breath a pure and undefled
air? Which candidate for the office
of alderman pledges the same? To
one who is a student of hygiene and
sanitation, this appeals as being a
paramount issue in this campaign.
In the first place. "a dirty
town is unsightly. and does not tend
to attract visitors. Secondly, dusty
T streets and side walks are certain
producers of disease. Thirdly, the
damage done to merchandise /each
year in Hendersonville by needless
ly flying dust, is far more than one
would think. In all three of these
ways. dust and dirt is preventing fin
ancial gain to the people of Hender-
sonville. If this condition is remov-
ed, there will be better health, a
saving in merchandise, and more visi-
tors.
So, sprinkle the streets, and make
the people keep their side walks
clean, you will take a more adj
vaPced steaps towards a better towr
than any n thing you can do. II
is~easy to do, for water is plentiful
you have a sprinkler and two mules
and the people can soon get the habii
of keeping the side walks clean
Once it is done, and the effects motto.
ed, the people will be glad that it has

town clean, and let it be known tEat
we do, 2we will do more for the towI
than all the. other advertising we
may do will accomplish.
