CASS LAKE WOMAN LOST,

Cass Lake, July Especial.
Last Sunday morning Mr.. and Mrs
Tom and Ben Church and Toms dit
tie four year old son started across
the railroad bridge which crosses the
thoroughfare between Cass Lake and
Pike bay, to pick raspberries in the
forest reserve. They had good sue
cess, but after dinner the little boy
him, while the two ladies and Ben
remained as they were having such
good success, expecting to follow at
|nightfall.
They did not come home during
the night and at daybreak Monday
morning Tom secured a team and
with several friends started out to
find them. At noon a report came
back to town that they had not yet
been found and the Grating factory
closed down and about eighty men
started out on the hunt for the lost
ones.
At about two o'clock in the after
noen-ttihe searchers located the place
where they had slept during the
night. 1t was found that they were
walking directly away from town and
one party of searchers started from
town around the south end of Pike
bay to head them off. U. S. Forester
George Farley headed this party.
At dusk last evening they were
found at the edge of tamarack
swamp where the women had been
so fatigued that they could go no fur
Their. They had had no water to
drink all day and while they heard
the searchers blow horns and shoot
all day, they never got near enoug h
to them so that they could make
themselves heard.
The section of the forest reserve
in which they were lost lies north Of
Leech lake and east and south Of the
Great Northern railway and west of
the 500 line and contains about six
townships. There are no buildings
in all this section except old logging
camps. 1t was supposed that the
lost ones would find their way ont
by some of the old logging roads, but
they had left the one they were on
heading straight through the woods
for the sound of Cass Lake factory
whistles and then got into the big
swamp where they walked around in
circles

Ship Last Spring.

Oscar Nelson, slide trombone play
er in the Bemidji band, has written
and had copyrighted descriptive ov-

with toot Of the whistle as the giant
steamer is leaving the dock on her
maiden voyage and closes with the
strains of Nearer My God to Thee"

Mr.. Nelson says that at present the
overture is only arranged for the pia-
no but that orchestra and band scores
are being worked out and will be
ready sometime in August. The pia-
no part is being printed now and he
expects it will be on sale in Bemidji

Farris Election Tame.

Cass Lake, July 25.-(SpeciaD -
The Farris school election, contrary
to the usual run of such affairs in
that district turned out to be very
one-sided affair. T. H. Mackey was
elected treasurer and E. M. Chase,
clerk, by a vote of 20 to Z. It is
thought that the decision of the
court reversing the village election
for fraud has had its effect.

of Execut,Ue Committee

Nashville, Tenn, April 6.-What is
pronounced the most successful meet
ing of the conference for education in
the south ever held closed here last
night Not only has the attendance
been extraordinary but the character
and volume of the work done is pro-
nounced unusual The overshadow-
ing feature has been the work for the
rural schools. This phase has been
emphasized on programs and a telling
exhibit has been maintained showing
conditions in all the states far and
changes in progress.
The work of the school improve
ment leagues was presented yesterday
by Miss Susie Powell of Mississippi,
president of the Interstate League.
Every school, she said, sis just what
the community as whole wants and
the only feasible way to get the
schools is to make the people want
them. The only way to make them
want better things is to show them
what a school should be and what it
may do for the community"
Robert c. Ogden, of New York, was
reelected president of the conference
for education in the south last night.
Walter M. Page of New York, was
elected vice president to succeed Wick

ADVOCATES Of Harmony Want
Contention to Be Lone Feast

'iams The former is an earnest sup
porter of Oscar w. Underwood for the
Presidential nomination, and Senator
elect Vardaman has also proclaimed his
allegiance TO the Alabama statesman.
This is the first time that Vardaman
and Percy have been political bedfel-
lows in a goodly number of years.
Gov. Brewer is also an Underwood
supporter while Senator williams is
espousing the cause of Woodrow Will
son.
Evidence is accommodating to show
that a strong fight will be made
against sending an instructed delega-
..ou to Baltimore. The state conven-
ton will also elect a new Democratic
state executive committee, and 1t ia
quite likely that the dominant faction
will put goodly number of the
present members on the political cool
ing board.

caused a revival of the optimistic
spirit among the farmers of Mississip-

blowing. Reports reach here, how.

Leslie Humphries, a well-known
young man, who resides at this place,
was seriously injured while beating
MS way on passenger tran No. . of
the N. o. & N. e. Ry nc4r Picayune,
last night
1t seems that young Humphries had
in his possession a mileage book made
ont to j. A. Bishop, and had ridden on
it from New Orleans to Picayune and
at this point it had given out Getting
out of the regular passenger coach he
went to the front of the engine and
got on the pilot. A few miles out of
Picayune while the train was going
at full speed the engine struck COW.
The engineer stopped the train and
went to the front of the engine and
discovered Humphries, who in coming
IN contact with the COW received a
broken leg and other bruises. The
crew placed him in the train and on
arriving at Poplarville. the conductor
made inquiries and left instructions
that the wounded man he taken to a
surgeon, and continued the run.
A surgeon was never secured at
Poplarville and HUMPHREYS was
brought to this city on freight train
at 2 o'clock this morning. He had
bled almost to death in the meantime
and was hurried to the South Missis-
sippi Infirmary, where his injuries
were dressed, but it is found that he
is to weak to take an antisethic and
the injured leg canont be amptuated
while he is in his present condition.
Very little hope is entertained for his
recovery.
! Several weeks ago fire was discov-
cred in the office of J. A. Bishop, in
the Carter building, and an alarm was
hastily sent in and the prompt arrival
of the department prevented any seri-
GUS damage. At the time of the blaze
appearances looked very much as ii
the fire had ben started by other than
natural causes and this was strength.
ened by the fact that several articles
were missing from a suit case of Mr.
Bishops including the milage book
found on Humphries last night. Mr.
Foley, who occupies an office adjoin
ing that of Mr. Bishop, also had q
I typewriter stolen, which was later
found near Turner's warehouse by q
crowd Of small boys.
Whether Humphries is a thief and
fire-bug is not known. He is the
same man who assisted Mr.. McGilvray
I in catching Marvin Dearman, who at
tempted to rob the store of Denhan
& Co., on River a few weeks ago
Whether he stole the mileage bool
and later attempted to fire the Garter
building in an effort to cover up the
crime is matter of supposition.
There is a charge of burglary pend
ing against him now. He recently
came into the limelight by reason O.
