VILLAGE TO IMPROVE
COUNTY FAIR GROUNDS

HIBBING, MIMI, Aug. ia deed
for portion of the county fair
grounds will be presented to the vii
lage in order that much needed I'M
provements may be made, according
to decision just reached by the
board of county commissioners. Sec
rotary Giffen is in receipt of letter
from c.. E. Adams, special attorney
for the board, informing him that
such transfer would be permissible.
The plans of the village have not
been fully agreed upon but it is be-
lieved that the race track will be lev
eled and new parking work done.
There is already an effective park in
front of the agricultural building and
this will be supplemented by other
beauty spots.
R. L. Giffen, secretary of the fair
association, has received a commune
cation from Carlson Bros. of Erskine,
Minn., inquiring as to whether an ex-
hibit of shorthorn cattle is to be
shown at the fair this year. The Frs
kline men are owners of good herd
and wish to exhibit if premiums are
to be given. They have been advised
that premiums will be given.
The Blue Ribbon Poultry farm will
compete for prizes with their famous
fowl for Fargo, N. D. Inquiries have
been received concerning exhibits
from farmers as far distant as Tren-
ton, N. j., and all who have full blood
ed stock or poltry are invited to ex-
hibit.

PATENT DRUGS
NOT FOR POOR L0'
Indian Department Purposes to
Stop the Sale-UnderwOod
First Example.

DEVILS LAKE, N. D., Aug. 49,
The sale Of patent medicines of such
a character as to produce drunkenness
is going to be stopped by the Indian
department. In what by Indian agents
is considered the most important pro-
secution in recent years, "Doc" Under
wood of Poplar, Mont, was last week
convicted in the federal court at Great
Falls. Sixty days in Jail and fine
and costs amounting to over $1,000
was the sentence of the court.
The head of a big eastern drug
house, with specialists, was on the
ground to defend his product against
the charge that it was prepared as a
beverage and labeled "bitters" and
various compounds"
Lieutenant N. A. Way of this city
prosecuted the Underwood case as
special agent of the Indian depart
ment. Former governor Norris of
Montana represented the defense. The
victory was complete for the govern
ment and is considered a long step in
the housekeeping at various Indian
points where an appalling condition
has resulted from the sale of "dope''
to Indians. Unable to secure whisky
at some points the reds have taken to
extracts and patent medicines to such
an extent as to make the condition
serious.
Underwood, the defendent in the
Montana case, was formerly located at
Sarles, N. D.

FORCED TO DECLARE
WAR, FRANCE AYERS

LONDON, Aug. 13.-The French
embassy here yesterday declared it
had been positively established that
an Austrian army corps had advanced
into Germany, close to the French
frontier. Such an act was hostile to
France and the government had no
choice but to declare war when Aus
tria refused to explain the mobilization
on the border.
1t was officially announced in Paris
last night that France had broken off
diplomatic relations with AUSTRIA
Hungary. The French ambassador at
Vienna has left the Austrian capital
and the Austro- Hungarian ambassa-
dor at Paris has done likewise.
In announcing the breaking off of
relations with Austria, the French
foreign office made the following
statement:
"Contrary to assurances given by
Austria to the French minister of for
eign affairs that no Austrian troops
we're taking part in the Franco Ger
man war, the French government has
ascertained beyond any possible doubt
that certain Austrian troops are at
present in Germany, outside the Aus
TRAN frontier.
"These troops. which have set free
certain German troops destined to be
employed in fighting the French,
ought to be considered as acting
against France. In these circum-
stances, the French ambassador was
ordered to leave Vienna"

FRATERNAL SOCIETIES
CAN OBTAIN TRACTS
lBY ASSOCIATED PRESS.l

WASHINGTON, Aug. 13.-All reg
ularly organized and incorporated
fraternal organizations would be al
lowed to obtain tracts of government
land for sanitarium purposes for the
benefit of their members, under a bill
introduced by Representative Baker,
of California, now before the House
upon recommendation of the public
lands committee. 1t follows a move
ment for legislation of this kind that
has been carried on by fraternal as
sociations and societies for a number
of years. Many bills previously have
been introduced on the subject but
they were to grant lands to these or
CARNATIONS by name while the pend
ing measure is general in scope, per-
hitting any and all such organizations
to obtain tracts for sanitariums.
The main object of the fraternal Or
CARNATIONS is to obtain, in each case,
sufficiently large tract of land upon
which modern sanitarium may be es-
tablished in arid, semi-arid or noun
famous states, in salubrious section
where the ill members of the organi-
cation may be treated and cured, par
ticularly in cases of consumption.
The public lands committee has just
reported to the House that there are
large tracts of land in the public land
states, which are practically useless
for individual holdings. The bill per-
mits the secretary of the Interior to
withdraw or reserve the land applied
for, for not exceeding two years, to
enable any fraternal organization to
investigate and determine the condi-
ton of the climate, soil, water sup
ply facilities and other questions, be-
fore obtaining patent. Then the or
ganization could get, not exceeding
four sections of unoccupied non-min-
eral, arid, semi-arid or mountainous
land by placing substantial improve
ments, the land to be used exclusively
for sanitarium purposes and if not so
used to revert to the United States.

thing is plain and simple. Neither
gold nor silver is to be found ON the
altar. Occasionally flowers will be
found there. Here it is that on every
Holy Thursday is observed the cere-
mony Of feet washing. On this occas-
ion the abbot with basin and towel
washes the feet of the other monks to
designate his level with them.
The biblical commandment. "Thou
shalt eat thy bread by the sweat of
thy brow" is enforced. The monks
rise at 2 a. M. and spend their time
from then until z p. m. in work and
devotion. Then they have their first
meal, consisting of bread and thin tea
or water sweetened with fruit juices.
At 11.30 they eat dinner, which con-
sists of thin soup of vegetables
cooked in salt water. At $3.50 they
partake Of their last meal which may
be rice or vegetables cooked in milk
and dessert Of fresh or cooked fruit.
Besides this each is allowed twelve
ounces Of bread day.
|. When a monk is about to die he is
removed from his bed and is placed
on bed of ashes. When he has
ceased to breathe he is wrapped in
his gown and carried to that little
patch Of ground where may be seen
several simple white crosses, mark
b bro With Silent prayers he is is
laid in the cold earth. No shroud or
coffin is given him.
Divided in Two Classes.
The monks are divided into two
classes-the choir brothers and the
lay brothers. The former devote six
hours of their day to the study of
Latin and scripture and the remainder
of the time to meditation and prayer,
The lay brothers spend most Of their
time cultivating the ground and car
ing for the stock. Among them may
be found men; as scholorly as in the
other divisions, but this class has been
chosen by them either by preference
or religious motive.
they dwell in silence, st. Ambrose, one
of their number, once said: II have
seen many a great man fall by speak
ing, but never one by silence"
Silence, it is believed by them, pro-
notes good order, for should anyone
be inclined to evil his propensities are
confined within himself, In a life of
silence murmurings and factionalism
are impossible: Superiors find no op-
position to their rulings and when the
mouth is closed the heart and interior
man cannot diffuse and enervate new
principles by idle discourse.
Women are not permitted here be-
cause it is believed they detract the
mind from spiritual contemplation.
Recruits are practically unknown
and the time seems not far distant
when the clatter of the sandled fee
will no longer be heard in the HOUSE
Of Silence.

DUBUQUE, Iowa, Aug. ia
bees nest in a hollow tree OF Brittany
in the twelfth century was respons-
ible for the name by which is known
the monastery that stands as a
twentieth century marvel among the
hills Of the picturesque Mississippi
valley just twelve miles south of Du-
buque. But in striking contrast to
the buzzing bee hive the massive
structure of stone is a House OF 81
lence, for here the inhabitants never
speak. They are strangers to their
own voices. The thirty-five men,
wrapped in coarse cloaks, their
shaven heads covered by cowls, who
move slowly about their work, have
not spoken aloud for half century
unless it be to say "Free il faute
mourir." (Brother we must die.)
Curious are the ways OF these
strange monks. Among their eccen-
tricities they

STRANGE MONKS 0FNEW MELLERAY
DO NOT SPEAK OR SING OR LAUGH
Women Barred From Monastery and Spiritual Exaation Is
Sought Through Physical umat0n-"House of Silence"
On the Mississippi River Bl uff Harbors Dying Order.

Refused even food by the countryfolk
and denied shelter by single roof,
they sought shelter in the hollow of
a massive old tree. All their needs
were supplied, for within the trunk
was huge honeycomb that furnished
them the sustenance so cruelty denied
by inhospitable peasants. They be-
lieved this deliverance to be an act
by the hand of God. From this Incl
dent was derived Mellis Alvearium,
Mellearium, Melleray-a name they
gave their new abbey.
But so many Englishmen COM
menced to join their ranks the French
government became suspicious and
they were expelled from the country
in 1881. They went to Ireland and
established a monastery at Mount
Melleray, county of Waterford. This
soon became overcrowded and the
ground proved too unproductive to
supply the needs of the inmates. There
was nowhere to turn but America. The
site near Dubuque was selected in
1849. The monks came, with there
own hands building the House Of ST.
lence. It is a great structure of stone
on the crest of a hill, built in the form
of cross, an uncompleted cross, for
one arm is not yet finished. This
strange building is surrounded by 3,
200 acres of land securely inclosed by
pickets and wire. Here the monks
raise farm products and live stock,
principally sheep.
Courteous to Visitors.
Few strangers travel to this strange
spot. Those who do are met at the
entrance by two monks who fall pros
trate on their faces. Hospitality is
never denied and the visitor is courte-
|oasly shown about the place. Every

LOOKING US OVER.

EORE than the average num-
III Der Of automobile tourists
d from all sections of the coun-
try seem to find the iron range place
worth looking over during the present
summer season. The automobile is
making neighbors of US all, but the
increase in the number of motoring
parties who visit this section is due
perhaps as much to our excellent
roads as to any other agency.
The iron range has never been at
much pains to advertise itself. If you
don't believe it take trip to southern
or even western-northern Minnesota
and listen to some of the opinions the
people of those regions hold of US.
Apparently all the motorists enjoy
their visits here. All of them say
they are surprised at the civic improve
ment we have, at our fine school build
ings and at the general evidence of
our present prosperity and practically
limitless industrial resources. They
come expectant, they go away enthu-
siastic and surprised. It pays to be
courteous to them for they are excel
lent advertisers. One of the best
ways to encourage them is to keep
range highways in the best possible
condition Of repair. Nothing makes
a country look so good to a touring
motorist as a good road. We ought
to have more of them.

CHICAGO MAN
SEES INJURED
John Clarkson Says Number of
Belgian Wounded Is
Enormous.

LONDON, Aug. 13.-John Clarkson
of Chicago, railroad constructor who
left Antwerp Sunday afternoon and
reached here by way Of Ostend, says
the number of the Belgians wounded
is enormous. All the hospitals at
Brussels, Client and other cities, he
said, are full, and factories and con-
vents are being utilized for the recep-
ton of the wounded.
Saw Train Unloaded.
Mr.. Garrison said he saw long
train full of wounded soldiers un-
loaded at Brussels. The wounded men
were carried through ranks of sold
iers who presented arms as they
passed, while crowds Of people looked
on. When the German prisoners were
brought to Antwerp from the front a
large crowd gathered to see their ar
rival, but no attempt was made to
modest them. The German soldiers,
according to Mr.. Clarkson, appeared
to be in good condition. The men
looked detected, but their officers wore
a proud and defiant air.
Pay Only 10 Per Cent.
Banks at Antwerp, said Mr.. Clark
son, were paying only 10 per cent Of
the deposits, and refused to honor
American paper. Very few Americans
were left there. The prices of food
were fixed by the military authorities,
and any storekeeper caught overcharg-
ing was arsted.
Rugged French Coast.
While crossing the channel the
steamer on which Mr.. Clarkson trav-
eled Rugged the French coast until
near Dunkirk, where she shot across
to Dover. Mr.. Clarkson said he saw
three large battleships and four sub
marines while he was making the voy-
age, but there were no signs of French
or English troops in that part of Bel
GUM through which he crossed.

WINNIPEG TROOP
GOES TO ENGLAND

WINNIPEG, Man., Aug. 49,
Strathcona's Horse, the regular troop
of relocated cavalry at Fort Osborne
barracks, Winnipeg, ESQ strong, has
been ordered at once to England and
left Wednesday night. Three hundred
French and Belgian reservists also
left for Montreal on special tran that
evening. The names of 5000 from
tiersmen in Alberta have been for
warded to the Ottawa war office for
service. The women of western Can
ada offered to provide a hospital ship
at cost of 100000, and this offer
was accepted by the British govern
ment. A mass meeting of 5000 ma
tives of Portland and 1000 Ruthen-
ians in the open air in Winnipeg last
night decided to remain loyal to
Britain.

MUNICIPAL MEAT MARKET.
~HE council committee report or

the municipal meat market IS
made. There was nothing else
for the council to do after the matter
had come before it in the manner in
which it did, but it was never worthy
of serious consideration because it
was not seriously undertaken. Many
of those who petitioned the council
had no idea an investigation would
ever be made. They merely wished to
call public attention to condition
that was distasteful to them in some
cases and in others afforded oppor-
tunitv to score under old fractional
differences.
Virginia does not need federal in
vestigation Of the meat market bust
ness. There is no combination here to
arbitrarily fix prices. Meat is high
enough in all conscience, but it is
very doubtful if the local dealers are
the ones responsible.the ones respon-
sible. There are some shrewd bust
ness men in the retail meat business
in Virginia, but to accuse them Of be-
ing dishonest to the point that they
have conspired together to fleece the
public is going step too far. There
are rumors of "meat rtust" in prac-
tically every town in the country. It
is easy to accuse, but it is another
matter to prove statement of this
kind. The agitation so far had may
have served a useful purpose, but the
time is here to drop it. It does not
reflect to the credit of the community
at large, nor does it tend to promote
better feeling among local business
people, something more needed here
than a municipal meat market for the
general welfare.

y" war it is quite natural that
the affects of that gigantic
struggle should be felt around the
world, and it is already intruding it.
self to the extent that the cost Of
living already high, gets boost.
Meats and provisions are going up
and the luxuries as we'll as the neces-
sites of life are affected, as witness
the advance in prices of automobile
tires and -four.
AS matter of fact we know little
of the war in Europe, how fares it
with the struggling powers, with
whom is the advantage or when will
be the end. The hope is general that
it will not extend over period of
years, but in the event that it does
there is no such thing as accurately
forecasting what the effect on nations
not engaged will be. 1t has been
said and no doubt with some truth
that the immediate effect on all bust
ness will be depressing, but that the
ultimate, especially in this country,
will be stimulating. The truth is
probably that it is too early yet to
tell just what the effect will be.
Viewed from any angle it is unfor-
tunate and though it will bring tenn
porary prosperity to the United
States, there is a cost that must be
reckoned. War is not worth while.
Peace and average prosperous times
are infinitely better.
