BONELESS WONDER ATTRACTS

Lucille, the "boneless wonder who
is giving free exhibitions along the
midway, is one of the best attractions
on the ground. She is here In con-
nection with the Great International
shows and has proven to be a big
drawing card.
This woman's cal name is Lucille
Miller. She is really a wonderful
contortionist. She is said to be the
best in the country. She is the only
person who has ever accomplished the
feet Of jumping rope with her arms.
She turns her joints clear over in per-
forming this feat n they actually
.revolve in their sockets.
This is q free act and is presented
several times a day at the grounds.
This Is one OF the best shows to be
e and does not cost a cent An
other feat performed by Lucille Is
that OF turning frontwards and back
wards through twelve-inch hoop.
She can also kick backward with
either foot n hit her head. She can
faccompltsh any Of the other feats ue-
enally performed BY ccnt~ortionists.

THE EUROPEAN WAR CLOUD.

The war cloud is always visible in
Europe. Sometimes it obscures the
sky sometimes it hangs low on
the horizon. but always it is there. and
even when 1t is least conspicuous, oc-
c%asional flashes of lightning come
from it. and low rumblings Of thun-
der are heard. to remind the people,
eve in their hour Of sunshine. the
menace is there, and that the storm
may gather and break, and the world
be plunged into elemental chaos.
AS in the world of nature, so in
the affairs of man, cataclysms are
rare. While portents may presage
general humiliation, the elements, as
a rule, break loose only in spots, and
destruction is limited in its area. The
black spot obscures the whole sky,
but the tornado, fierce and fatal
though it is, follows a narrow path.
Europe is an armed camp, with mil
lions OF men ready, at an hours notice,
to begin the march of death. So nice
ly is the balance adjusted that a dis
~turbance in any one place seems to
throw the entire continent into bloody
confusion. And yet SO thoroughly do
the rulers realize the tremendous con-
sequences Of a general war that, time
after time, the threatened general
storm has been reduced to the proper
tons Of a passing shower, or restrict
ed in its area even II uncurbed In its
violence.
n Napoleonic wars m a be COM
pared to the throes of a world in the
making. Not since that time has Eu-
rope engaged in a general war, al
though on numerous occasions she has
been dangerously near to it. The Cri-
mean war was the nearest approach
to it since the time OF Napoleon, but
then several Of the great nations were
~onlookers. The Franco-Prussian war,
fierce though 1t was, and highly i'm
portant In it's Influence on the affairs
Of Europe. was restricted to the two
nations which were the primary par
ties to 1t. The late Balkan war was
the most threatening in it's aspects of
any for a long time. but the great ma
tions were successful, for the time be-
Ing. at least, in restricting it to the
Balkan peninsula. The story Of that
struggle, however. is yet to be written,
for the struggle itself is not yet over.
The present ominous situation in Eu-
rope Is largely the result of some of
the same conditions which brought
about the war among the Balkan
states.
Whether the impending war be-
tween Austria and Servia will be local
lied, or will spread until it involves all
Europe, remains to be seen. Austria
is determined to crush Servian oppo-
sition. Russia Is preparing to come
to the defense of the Serbs. If she
does SO Germany will assuredly aid
her ally, Austria. n will send an ar
my across the Russian frontier. France
n England are on terms OF close
alliance with Russia. and France still
smarts under the wounds administer
ed over 40 ear ago Italy. Germany
and Austria make up the famous
Triple Alliance. and in time of need
Italy will be expected to aid her al
lies. There we lave elements which
are capable Of producing the greatest
war of all time. Is there to be a
great storm or merely a local disturb
ance?

WHEAT

In the early spring the prospects
for the worlds wheat crop were in
favor Of an abnormally large produc-
ton, so large that price prospects
booked discouraging. Most of the
wheat crops in the southern hemis-
phere had yielded we'll. Conditions
in Europe were unusually promising.
Kansas wheat had come through the
winter in splendid shape. The spring
wheat states had more blowing done
than usual, and spring was opening
in a manner to indicate good seeding
conditions. Much blowing had beer
done in the Canadian northwest, and,
as everybody knows, the rapid set
tlement of that country adds many
hundreds of thousands of acres to the
wheat area every year. Our old
friend, Farm, Stock and Home, care
full, conservative and we'll balanced az
It is, revised the conditions, and ad-
vised its readers to "let the other fell
low grow the wheat"
Look at the conditions today. I'm
oolS "SdSiSi iLuo ~ W
wheat prospects in several Of the Eu-
Sopean countries, and districts which
have been large exporters will have
barely enough for local consumption.
Kansas has harvested a big crop. blu,
~e1cessive rains have done great dam
laage. The Canadian northwest, gen.
orally speaking, is dried up, and in
many sections Of that country the
crop is a total failure. Our greal
spring wheat states will yield a boun-
tiful crop, but the excess over the av-
erage crop in these three states will
scarcely make a dint in the aggre-
gate shortage in the supply of the
world al large.
Many morals might be drawn from
these conditions. but the most OBJ
Nious n is that one can never tell.

THE DRINKING FOUNTAIN,

Doesn't it strike o as strange,
Mr.. Newspaper Man. said a friend
the other day. that in a city like
Grand Forks. which has so many pub
lie improvements and so many splen-
did features of almost every kind,
we haven't such a thing as a public
drinking fountain? We have one for
except, of course. those in the parks,
which are not accessible from the
down town district. Other cities have
them distributed all through the bus
mess district. Why don't we
The gentleman's question is a per-
dnent one. and it has doubtless been
asked by many other people. 1t is
true that there are several places in
the city where water is provided for
drinking, free. but these are not
strictly public. They are in stores or
other business places, and one must
know where to find them. Further,
while doubtless all are welcome to the
use Of these fountains, many regard
hen more as conveniences for the
customers of the place than for the
general public, and hesitate to use
them frequently on that account.
There is water at the city hall, which
Is a public place. but 1t is not always
convenient to go there.
A good many other cities have
drinking fountains which are abso-

weather they prove a veritable god

dozen OF them. Isn't It worth while ?

THE STOCK EXHIBIT.

People who are interested in stock
naturally visit the stock barns at the
Grand Forks fair. and it will pay even
those who know little about the sub
ject to take a trip through the barns
and inspect the entries, for at the
Grand Forks fair this year there is
being given an illustration Of an eco
nomic change that is coming over this
section of the country. and which has
tremendous possibilities in relation to
the development Of our industries, the
influx of population. the solution Of
our northwestern labor problem, and
a number Of other things which af-
feet very directly the welfare of every
man, woman and child in the great
northwest.
No such display Of live stock has
ever before been seen in the north
west. Horses, cattle, hogs, sheep,
poultry, all are there is goodly num-
numerous. but Of a high class. There
are on exhibition herds of fine cattle
bred and raised in North Dakota, and
other herds are the property of stock
men FROM distance who have rec
ognized the possibilities Of this Sec
ton, and have sensed the change
which is coming about in its industry.
The stock exhibit is highly signif-
icant, and instructive in unusual meas
ure. If the fair management has done
nothing else, the gathering of such d
splendid collection Of animals for the
inspection of the people OF this terri
tory would be an achievement to be
proud of.

tons forming the natural foundations
or peace in the life of peoples and
states. must, therefore, proceed by

pledges which alone can in

London, July 29.-Partial mobiliza-
ton of the Russian troops in the
southern and southwestern districts
was ordered by the Russian war office
last night, according to dispatches re-
ceived here.
1t is argued in official circles that,
although this action dangerously d.
minishes the chances Of maintaining
European peace, it does not neces-
sarily imply a rupture of relations
between Austria-Hungary and Rus
STA.
The hope is still expressed that some
European power may yet succeed in
bringing about an understanding be-
tween those two states.

Duluth, Mimi, July 29.-In Mime
sofa 1900 subjects of the Austro-
Hungarian empire are momentarily
expecting a call, to arms which might
require them to return to their native
countries to aid in the impending
European clash. The call would not
be a welcome one judging from re-
ports from local foreign-born resi-
dents.
Ljubo Bogecivich, a prominent Aus
TRAN Of this city. in close touch with
his countrymen here, said today:
Practically all of the Servian col
onies immigrated to this country from
Austro-Hungary and not direct from
Servia- They are in reality subjects
of the Austro-Hungarian empire and
not Of the kingdom Of Servia. So it
may be easily understood that local
Servians might wish to decline to line
up with the Austrian army to fight
Servia, their mother country.
THE Croatins and the people of
Servia. Montenegro, Bosnia, Ranat
and other Austro-H Hungarian states
are Slavs and there is no racial dis
tinction between them except in re-
ligion. The Croatians are Catholics,
the Servians belong to the Greek
Orthodox church."
