impatiently, deep in thought, and with
the lurking suspicion that even his

Some are stars, others are rotten.
Pitchers are born, not made. Some get
craked early and the cold world sitting
through causes them to fancy they are
Christy Mathewsons. When the battery
is announced and they are not chosen,
they tell the manager how fine their
arm feels. If they are selected to
twirl. they suddenly develop paralysis
or rheumatism. They are as Jealous of

learn, there has been some rather heat

of the fall campaign, and Captain Hart
has let it be known that there will be
some rather radical changes before the
report next September.
1t now seems to be taken as a matter
OF fact, that Bill Roper will not be In
charge, and there is a strong element
which favors the appointment Of Fred

decidedly likely that Cunningham will

Cleland.
The people of Mankato are making
preparations for at least 1000
visitors. The business men of Man.
kato are raising nearly $500 to prop

fact gives some idea of the interest
Mankato has in the coming conven-

St. Paul. Feb. 1O.-If there is open
camping at Baudette, as alleged in a
letter of complaint from a prominent
merchant and member of the council
of the Beltrami county town, ad-
dressed to Governor Eberhart, it is
to be stopped and stopped quickly,
declares the governor.
In the communication from Bau-

governor is told that fragrant viola

taking place, and that no real effort
has been made to curb the evil
The governor who, because of the
forest fire desolation, feels extremely

Chicago. Feb. 10.-More than 100
men and women, residents of the Stan

escapes in their night clothes and fled
through the snow and zero weather for
safety when fire was discovered in
the building. Many women, too
frightened to move, were taken off of

That there were no lives lost, the
firemen declare, was due to the brav-

by the smoke Mrs Manning carried
her two children to safety, awakened
her husband and then ran through the

cessful It Is Certain to Be Ex-
tended, He Declares.

Washington, Feb. 10.-The first gun
in the congressional battle over Ca
madam reciprocity was fired in the
senate. Senator Beverage of Indiana,
progressive, was the marksman and
he lined up on the side of the admin
istration. He did not make pretense
of representing others of the progress
sive Republican camp.
Mr.. Beverage welcomed the COM
pact as the first concrete evidence of
the establishment of such relations
with Canada as he thought the United
States should maintain with coun-
try so closely adjoined physically and
| with a people so intimately allied with
Americans in kinship and interest.
Contending for the importance of the
principle involved he urged the neces-
sity for prompt and decided action.
The details, he said, were of CON-
paratively little significance and might
we'll be left to future adjustment.
"Shall the United States and Can
ada begin the policy of mutual trade
concessions and commercial friendli-
ness? Or shall we make permanent
the policy of trade obstruction and
commercial hostility between the
oountries?"
Announces General Position.
Mr.. Beverage said these were the
real questions which must be answer
ed in dealing with the reciprocal
agreement. His general position was
then announced as follows:
,."If some think that the agreement
is not all that it should be because of
the treatment OF few articles, the
answer is that even if this objection
Is sound as to those few details, yet
1t is negligible when compared with
the Importance of getting this great
national policy established.
CAS- a matter of fact it will be found
| that the objection to few scattered
items is not sound; for this is a mat
ter of agreement, and mutual conces-
sions are necessary. Even so, our
government has done surprisingly well
In the concessions it has secured.
IF the agreement is enacted into
law and proves beneficial to the ma
ton as whole, it is certain to be
extended as time goes on and the two
peoples experience its good effect. II,
on the other hand, it should prove
harmful to the nation as a whole, it
could and would be repealed quickly -

That there will be no attack on

Orozco will not enter Juarez in the
immediate future.
II Navarro, at the head of 1000 sea-
soned veterans, manages to keep up
and enter Juarez, it is not believed
here that the insurgent forces will
ever venture to attack them. With
the loyal troops already in the city,
reinforced by Navarro's veterans,
fighting behind earthworks, it is not
believed Orozco's unframed guerrilla
fighters could be persuaded to try to
take Juarez by assault.

Many Towns Want New Asylum.
While Bemidji probably appreci-
ates the interest taken in her behalf
by Representative D. P. O'Neil, in his
voluntary offer to do all he could to
land the proposed new hospital for
the insane for Bemidji, his task,
had Bemidji decided that she cared
for the new institution, would have
been hard one. No less than nine
towns, all north of St. Cloud, are
already seeking to land, either open
ly or under cover, the asylum. At
least two towns are ready to donate
the site of $40 acres free. The new
hospital is to be built large enough
to ultimately take care of 1900 pa
tients. The towns seeking the asy-
lum figure that to secure so big an
institution would be commercial
triumph. The two towns the most
likely to be at the finish are Eveleth
and Virginia. If anyone in Bemidji
harbors the hope of a new normal
