the American people once had with the English when old King
George raised their taxes more than they thought he had a right to do. They
said they wouldn't pay the taxes, and as it was on the Fourth Of July the
paper which said so was signed. That is the reason we celebrate the date as

but before King George@would agree to let them alone a long and cruel
war between England and America was fought. Many brave Americans en-
lied under General George Washington, and when the war was over the Eng,
fish were glad to go home and let the Yankees do is they pleased. This was
called the wa of the Revolution.
Among the American officers none was drawer than General Daniel Nor
gan, and n one Wi more feared by the English soldiers. General Morgan
was a terrible fighter. lot only did he think that the English king had no
right Ito tax Americans, but he had a grudge of his own against the English.
And this is how the grudge began. When England ws at war with the
French and Indians Daniel was a wagon boy In the army that marched over
the mountains from Virginia to fight the French at old Fort Duquesne. One
day something happened which was blamed on Daniel The boy was not

The boy took the thrashing quietly, but he tainted when it vas over He
always claimed that the man who counted the strokes made a mistake in
counting and that he had been given only 499 instead of 800 lashes. Often

may be assumed that the last severe
crisis has been surmounted.
The case OF Servia against Bulgaria
is a simple one. The provisional APP
I~portionment of territory arranged in
the secret Serbo-Bulgarian treaty,
concluded before the outbreak Of war
with Turkey. was based upon the hy-
pothesis OF a much more limited vic
tory than actually fell to the lot OF the
allies.
Furthermore, In the course Of the
war, the Servian armies played a
much more important role than the
Balkan s~trategists anticipated. This. of
course, the Bulgarfans deny. 1t is their
contention hat the outcome Of the
war was decided at Kirk- Kilisseh and
Lule Burgas, and that the Servian and
Greek campaigns were largely in the
nature of a procession.
To this the Servians retort that if it
were not for their decisive victory at
Kumanovo, the way would have been
open for a Turkish invasion of Bull
aria from the west, and General Saw
offs forces would have found them
selves attacked from the rear. Fur
thermore. in taking Of Adrianople a
Servian army of $4,000 men played a
conspicuous part. Their reward was
the surliest kind Of treatment by the
Bulgarians, who bestirred themselves
to speed their allies from the captured
city as rapidly as transportation IA
cilities would allow.
II Servia is to receive adequate
compensation for her sacrifices. it
must come out of the disputed terri
tory in Macedonia. The districts in
northern Albania which she counted as
part of her legitimate reward have
been forbidden her by the powers.
With the loss of northern Albania
have gone the long cherished hopes of
an outlet Upon the Adriatic.
Bulgaria has now reached the shores
of the Mediterranean. Greece strength
n her maritime position by the &C
QUESTION of Salonica and the Hsean
islands. Belgrade argues that simple
Justice demands that she be granted,
If not a port on the Hgean, at least
an easy outlet to the sea. Her claims
seem certain of receiving fair recog-
milton in the cars award.

A WATER FAMINE.

Fargo people who have been voicing
their complaints because the city
authorities have decided to charge a
price for the water, adequate to meet
the expense of running Fargo's splen-
did new plant may congratulate
themselves that they are not in the
plight Of Minneapolis. In that city
mismanagement OF the city water sup
ply, which is almost criminal, has lead
to a water famine. Fargo people may
be interested in the following sum-
mary of the situation by The Minnea-
polls Tribune:
If Heaven should send rain to Min
neapolis, the people of this city will
be saved a partial water famine. But
only Heaven a save us from all the
inconvenience and the danger which
reach into many human home on the
surface Of an inadequate water sup
ply.
Within a year after the opening Of
a new water system, a great American
city finds itself confronted with this
menace Explanations will not avert
danger. Attempts at fixing blame will
not flush plumbing. We shall have
aDundant opportunity later TO put the
fault where 1T belongs. For the pres
ent, as we prize our WI security
against disease, we must every n of
us turn resolutely to make every drop
of water go as far as it can.
The man or woman who wastes
water in such a crisis is guilty pre-
cisely as the man or woman is g&ilty
who steals from the common store
after a shipwreck. His offense s
g%rievous enough against himself. 1t
is urspeakable against those who are
weaker than he.
See to it that you yourself do your
part. Do not run the water to make
it cool. Let your lawns go for a day
Or two. Try to draw upon the COM
NOR fund during those hours when
the general need is low. You can
serve yourself in this instance only
by helping to serve everybody else.
When Heaven has sent the rain. If
Heaven does, we shall then decide
we people of Minneapolis-by whose
wretched mismanagement we could
not now distribute the water if we had
it in abundance and have not now the
water to distribute If there were mains
in abundance.

HURLED A BOOMERANG.

For n time, at least, the beef trust
has been struck by an arrow shot
from its own bow and intended to
cripple a foe. The cause of the
boomerang is also instructive as to
trust methods of dealing with COM
petition.
For the first time in history a con-
signment of Argentine beef was re-
ceived in New York, Monday. But
this particular consignment did not
come direct from an Argentine port,
but had first been shipped to England
by representatives of the American
beef trust in Buenos Ayres and there
purchased by spectators and reship-
ped to this country, where it actually
sold for one and one-half cents q
pound less than the trust was selling
beef on it's native heath! All this,
be it remembered, after a double
freight charge had been paid on the
beef and a tariff Of $3.50 a hundred
pounds had been paid to enter the
shipment.
The mystery of the ability Of London
spectators to thus reship beef and
pay duty, yet still in New York at a
profit in competition with the beef
trust, which originally shipped the
meat from Buenos Ayres, is explain
ed by the fact that two packing houses
in the latter city which are owned by
Il thas "A m nripan hAaF fr,,af 49, .anr.--
to drive out of the London market the
native Argentine packing companies,
the method being to undersell their
competitors in England at all hazards.
Advantage was taken of the cut prices
by he London SPECTATORS to make a
profit by reselling here.
All of the native Buenos Ayres meat
companies are about to be forced into
bankruptcy by the methods of the
beef trust in monopolizing the foreign
market, and have appealed to their
government for protection. One sug-
gestion is that a limit on exports to
any one foreign market be established,
but this would also hit the native
cohnpdniess IN case the beef trust re-
stores the price in London, then a re-
shipment to New York would not be
profitable.
II the beef trust should succeed in
sitting the Argentine packing house
Industry, then the at home
and abroad would be charged enough
TO make up for previous losses. 1t is
very possible that Argentina has no
more veneration for the trust than to
slash out for the protection of the
independents.
The sale Of reshipped Argentine
meat in New York Is Illuminating az
an example of trust methods OF kill
ing OFF competition. What happens
when this is accomplished is an old
story In this country.

ACCUSED OF TRYING
TO BRIDE SENATOR
II. ERcANBRAcH CHARGED
WITH OFFERING $1,000 TO
WORKS or CALIFORNIA.

Los Angeles, June 17.-C. H. Ercan-
brach, who was arrested in Santa
Barbara on a United States warrant
charging him with attempted bribery
of United States Senator Works of
California, was brought here Saturday
night. He is a retired business man of
large means and a former councilman
of Santa Barbara.
Ercanbrach admitted having written
a letter in which he offered Senator
Works $1,000 If he secured the APP
pointment of postmaster of Santa Bar
bara and which was the basis for his
indictment by the federal grand jury,
but stated hat he did not think that
he was doing anything criminal.
The letter which resulted in Ercan-
brach's indictment reads in part as
follows:
"As our own Congressman Smith is
no more, l want to talk p little busi-
ness with you. I would like the post
masters appointment Of Santa Bar
bara. / will give you $1,000 If I get
the appointment
Ercanbrach will be arraigned in the
federal court Monday.

MYSTERY SRROUDS
MEXICAN'S visit
FIFTEEN LARGEST AMERICAN
PROPERTY HOLDERS COM
FER WITH BRYAN.

Washington, June 17.-Secretary Of
state Bryan is making an intense
mystery of the visit to Washington of
fifteen of the largest American holders
of property in Mexico, These men
were here in executive session in a
room in the Willard hotel practically
all day yesterday. Under an arrange
ment with Secretary Bryan they had
a conference with him and late today
they paid their bills and apparently
loft washington.
One of these men was Charles K.
Warren of Three Oaks, Mich, but
neither he, nor n of the others,
would say a word about the nature of
the representations made to the gov
eminent through Secretary Bryan.
Neither would Secretary Bryan.
Bryan admitted that the men would
be in conference with him, but he
would not state what they said, nor
would he commit himself to a denial
or affirmation on any question asked
him.
Crisis May Be Approaching.
1t has been said the meeting was
for the purpose of urging the adminis-
tration to recognize the Huerta gov
eminent in Mexico. This Mr.. Bryan
would not discuss. 1t also has been
limited that property holders came here
to warn the American government that
matters were approaching a crisis of
such a nature that it would be neces-
sary for all Americans to leave Mexico
at once, or organize a revolution OF
their own, unless the United States in
tervened. But this would not be dis
cussed either.
The only tangible information the
state department would admit was that
there were fifteen of the American
holders of property in Mexico who had
been in session at Washington, and
that they held a conference with Sec
rotary Bryan.
Situation Becoming Serious.
Other information is to the effect
that the situation in Mexico is fast be-
coming worse than it has been at any
time in the past and that practically
the entire country is overrun with
bodies Of armed men who are robbing
everybody.
1t is said that a movement Out of
Mexico of every American Inc that
country may oon be expected unless
conditions change materially and sud-
denly.

Take Plenty Of Time to Eat.

There is a saying that rapid eating
is slow suicide" If you have formed
the habit of eating too rapidly you are
most likely suffering from indigestion
or constipation, which will result
eventually in serious illness unless cor
rected. Digestion begins in the mouth.
Food should be thoroughly masticated
and insaiivated. Then when you have
a fullness Of the stomach or feel dull
and stupid after eating, take n of
Chamberlain's Tablets. Many severe
cases Of stomach trouble and consti-
patton have been cured by the use of
these tablets. They are easy to take
and most agreeable in effect. Sold by
all dealers.-Advt.

A Visit to saxony

Engineering Magazine: The Ameri-
can visitors who throng the garden
city OF Dresden are inspired by Sax
ons with a friendly feeling from
their first entry within the borders of
SaXony. Good nature and good humor
appear, from the first, even with the
customs officials in their perfunctory
around through the train. The coffee
colored eye, ope and frank. speaks
of the hospitable, homely people who
will welcome the visitor to Saxony-a
remarkable contrast with the tur-
quoise-eyed peoples met from Venice
to Vienna. And in the shops of the
engineering works we even find the
character of the Saxon people i'm
pressed upon the metal that is
wrought into machines.
1t Is precisely because of this fact
that the Saxon is more of an indl-
vidual being and less of a mere ma
chine whilst performing his work.
that a visit to Saxon engineering
works is rendered the more attractive.
The men who operate the railway
trains are the embodiment of this
characteristic. In Prussia the engine
man has a rigid. military mien ana
wears a blue uniform. In Saxony ha
wears a straw hat. a starched collar.
a civilian Jacket, and has a ounging
attitude; and after caring for his ma
chine at the roundhouse he is scrupu-
lous in additions which fit him to walk
nome presently down Pragerstrasse
amid the cosmopolitan throng. TO the
capitalist who considers metallurgical
and engineering works as money-com-
ing machines, such amenities are. per-
haps. wasted time. Even the Prls-
sian regard the Saxons as being
rather sleepy" because not great
hustlers; but with their more philo-
sophie temperament the Saxons rep1y.

Oh, he is a Prussian, you knowin ii

"Sem,' c~artoonist q LIE Petit
Journol of Paris, portrays the
tango as danced in Paris and gives
a long description of the origin of
1t. In Buenos Ayres there is a
rough and tough quarter, populat-
ed by the worst types of southern
Europe mixed with the native
"greasers". The cheap dives and
foul streets make it a quarter
something like that which used to
he found in American cities, but
because of the lower intelligence
Of the inhabitants much worse.
The men of this district, mostly
thieves and cutthroats for whom
the police are constantly looking,
or for whom enemies are lying in
wait, stink about constantly
watching. They have acquired a
peculiar cat-like glide. The tango
music merely set this glide to
music and the dance followed. 1t
is the kind of a dance that the
demimonde of Buenos Ayres
would be ashamed Of. But society
here and abroad has taken it up.
