Rex and has father was set on FIRE.
Before it could be extinguished both of
them were pretty badly burned about
the arms and head. Rex's right arm
was burned so that the skin peeled to
the elbow. Both of his fathers arms
his neck, breast and shoulders and
back are pretty badly scalded
Though not burned very deep the
skin peeled of of much of the parts
named and he will be laid up for sew
eral weeks in consequence. The fire
company responded and the fire quick
ly put out with very little damage.
Every effort was put forth to make
the sufferers comfortable and it Is

AVIATOR HAD
BAD TUMBLE

Park River, N. D., July Sc. L.
Keene of st. Louis, operating a Cur
tiss aeroplane owned by F. G. Ken
worthy Of Grand Forks, was dashed to
the ground here this evening while at
tempting flight and badly stunned.
He regained consciousness after ten
minutes and though dazed appeared to
be recovering from the shock.
Keene was in the, air some twenty
feet and had traveled about 100 yards
when the aeroplane suddenly dipped
and had turned over when 1t struck
the ground, throwing the aviator with
considerable force Keene is an in
structor in the school Of aviation at
St Louis, Mo-, and was brought here
by F. g. Kenworthy to fill a contract
with the Park River Fair association.
KenwOrthy and Mccoy Of Grand
Forks had built an aeroplane along the
Farnum type, but Keene decided it wag
too heavy to fly and accordingly tho
Curtiss machine was imported to fill
the contract. Over 1000 people saw
the attempted fight. 1.-THE machine is
too sensitive" were the first words Of
Aviator Keene when he regained con-
seriousness. 1t is believed that the
restlessness Of the crowd caused him to
attempt the flight before he was ready
with what proved to be almost a fatal
result.

they could do their own thinking they
would readily discover the motive
prompting these advocates of reciproc-
lty. The human family is disposed to
be slightly selfish and all Of us are
supposed to be members Of that fam
lily. Mr.. Taft is seeking votes for his
reelection. Mr.. Hill has his eye on
the immense tonnage his extended
lines into Canada viii bring to his
railroad. The newspapers, as they put
it--want the odious tax on wood pulp
abolished, while the farmer, who
seems to be considered legitimate prey
for the rest of mankind, is called on
to lose ten fold as much as all these
gain.

present day conditions from the citi-
zenship standpoint in our state. He
took up in turn the initiative, referen-
dunn and recall the board OF control;
the new primary law and the corrupt
practices act He declared that public
opinion makes laws and that public
opinion Is always right. That it was a
great honor to be good republican or
good democrat in North Dakota, but
a greater honor to be a good citizen.
His address was closely followed and
warmly applauded especially his dec
laration in favor of equal suffrage.
The afternoon programme consisted
Of lecture on the characteristics Of
American Life by Prof. a.. ]. Pearson
OF Des Moines; a concert by the Chi

One of our pro-reciprocity papers
recently published telegram from
Winnipeg. stating their farmers, boards
Of trade and legislative assemblies
We're unanimous in their approval of
the proposed reciprocity agreement.
Should not the Canadian anxiety for
this pact convince us that the Cana
dams realize they are trading us their
buzzard for our turkey? 1t has been
claimed by Mr.. Taft that reciprocity
would reduce the cost of living. If the
price Of wheat is reduced 25 cents per
bpeAel, while it would pauperize the
u er, and demoralize the business
~ e whole country, 1t would re-
d he cost of living less than " Of
IN vaaer day. 1t has not been claim
ed z. uyone that free barley would
reduk e cost Of living, as it is adj
mitteA all the only benefciaries are
the bf and the saloonkeeper. yet
this art lone, which has been look
ed upon too insignificant to dis
euss to az tent--for its evident OBJ
ject neithA eient or modern history
has a para such giganic rob-
berry as thin pact proposes--in COM
pelling the farmer to annually. con-
tribute s2O,0OO.000 to $4,000, 900.
North Dakota raises 21,500,000
bushels of barley and will be taxed at
least s5,00O,000 annually towards this
immense campaign fund for what? 1t
1t not disputed that only the brewer
and saloon keeper is benefited by rob-
bling the farmer Of all these millions
of dollars annually on their barley
alone. Can it be possible that the
United States senate, which has been
looked upon the world over as the
most honorable and representative
body Of men in any country, will vote
for and sanction pact that the world
will look upon as measure to rob
the farmer to buy the saloon vote.
