OBSERVE MITCHELL DAY.
Sacranton, Pa., 29.—Every mine in
the anthracite region was shut down
today and the miners held a genera!
celebration of Mitchell Day. In this
city there was a mammoth parade of
more than 30,000 men, followed by
speeches from several prominent offi
cials of the United Mine Workers.
STORY WAS UNTRUE.
Mexico City, Oct. 29—General' Mena,
the only minister now in the capital,
has received a message from President
Diaz, saying that the reported attack
on his life was absolutely untrue. He
says Toscano was drunk and took a
sensational way of celebrating. No one
or even the car occupied by the presi
dent was hit.
STEEL ft AIL RATES.
Buffalo, N. Y., Oct. 29.—Much in
terest is manifested in traffic circles in
the meeting here today of the iron and
steel committee of the Central Freight
Association. The committee fixes the
rates on steel rails both east and west
bound and the object of the present
meeting is an adjustment of inequali
ties that have become irksome under
the establishmentin Buffalo of indus
tries engaged in the production of
rails.
For instance, the rate from Johns
town, Pa., where the Pennsylvania
railroad is the principal owner of the
Cambria Steel Co's. plant, to New
York is 26 cents lower than from Buf
falo. Pittsburg and Buffalo have the
same basis. The Pennsylvania, it is ex
pected, will make a strong fight for its
own interests, as against Buffalo, and
this will have a tendency to aggravate
the trunk lines as well as those from
Pittsburg.
CANADIANS KICK.
Halifax, N. S Oct. 29 —The declara
tion that the present relations between
Canada and-Grekt Britaiinrannot exist
much longer was made by The Halifax
Chronicle, the leading newspaper sup
porter in the maritime provinces of the
liberal party.. In the course of an un
usually oatsDokfen* editorial on the re
cent Alaskan boundary award, The
Chronicle claims dissatisfaction among
the Canadians at the action of the
British government in the matter. The
paper says:
"This Alaska episode has made it
clear that our existing relations to the
empire cannot be continued much long
er. We arc even now at the parting
of the ways. Our subordinate position
has been so clearly and so humiliating
ly revealed that it must speedily become
utterly unendurable."
The Chronicle adds that there are
now only two courses open for Canada,
complete legislative independence with
the empire, acknowledging the sover
eignty of the king of England alone, or
a status of an independent Samson na
tion.
NEW YORK'S CAMPAIGN.
New York, Oct. 29.—With election
but four days away both parties in the
struggle for the control of the govern
ment of Greater New York have taken
off their coats and otherwise prepared
themselves to make a whirlwind finish
to one of the fiercest contests in the
political history of the city. So intense
is the struggle and so deeply interested
is the public in the result that even the
invasion of Dowie and his band of 35°°
followers failed to divert attention from
the campaign. Throughout the last ten
days the nightly crowds at the political
rallies in Carnegie Hall, Cooper Union,
Tammany Hall and other meeting
places have rivaled in size thse that
filled Madison Square Garden to sat
isfy their curiosity by seeing the self
appointed "Elijah II." The Tammany
cohorts have centered much of their ef
fort on the republican stronghold of
Brooklyn, while the fusionists, on the
other hand, have been whooping it up
on the Lower East Side and in other
down-town sections where Tammany
Hall has ruled the roost for years. It
is believed that ^hen the ballots are
counted the results will contain many
(surprises as tending to show that 'the
•political lines are changing about. fcHs
tricts heretofore strongly democratic
are expected to show big gains for the
fusionists,, while in other districts the
reverse may be true.
Whether Low or McClellan become?

tain to go down in history as one of

DYNAMITE AT SEATTLE...
Seattle "Wish., Oct. 29^-Fbur sticks
of dynamite with fuses attactoto#' all
ready for lighting, have b«en found
under the Tacoma-Seattle fntferttrban
railway station. The find caused great
excitement owing to the recent explos
ions at night at nearby points, which
however, did no damage. -The police

NEGRESS KILLED.
Jacksonville, Fla., Oct. 29.—While
attempting to secure her husband, who
lived near Jennings, Fla., a mob shot
to death Jennie McCall, a negress, last

house, and, thinking he was inside, fir
ed a volley into the house, -instantly
killing the woman. A posse is reported
to be in pursuit of the assailants.
THE FOREST EXHIBIT.
.The U. S. md the Qerokaiis W1U Have Com
petitive Forestry Exhibits at ,St» Louis.
St. Louis, Mo., Oct. 29.—The Ger
mart empire and the United States gov
ernment are to have competitive ex
hibits in forestry at the World's Fair.
Which nation's methods of forest man
agement are better and more practical
is the problem to be solved. Two
tracts of land, already partially covered
with trees, and each about five acres in
extent, have been assigned to the
United States and German govern-*
ments as the laboratory? for their 't^sts.
The two lie side by side, so that the
visitors may walk through what the
Americans call an "arboretum" and ob
serve all American methods of forestry,
and then step across into what the Ger
man designates as a "forest garden,"
and learn the German method.
No trees will be cut from either tract.
Rather transplanting will be resorted
to, and when the exposition opens rrti^i
iafurfc forests, perfect in every detail,
with narrow gravel walks winding in
and out, may be seen. Every tree that
thrives in the latitude of St. Louis will
be represented and the specimen can
be easily designated. Attached to each
tree will be an aluminum label on whith
will be stamped the botanical and com
mon names.
In one respect the exhibits will be
the same. Each display will embrace
practically the same number of trees
and they will be practically of the same
varieties. Here all similarity ceases.
The treatment will accord with the
practices in vogue in the respective
countries. In the American arbore
tum the trees will be planted, trained
and pruned according to the American
idea. In the German forest garden will
be reproduced, in miniature, the effects
that obtain in the forest of the father
land,, and the:story of how the wondeV
ful forests of Gerinany have befcn pre
served through ages, and renewed frojm
time to time,, will be told by. practical
demonstrations. I
The" exhibits will be iti" charge bf the
most expert foresters to be found jin

strations and tests will be made evtiry

A1 Small, one of' the "track layers, who
was standing nearby was struck in the
eye with a piece of flying steel, severely
injuring the eye. Dr. Welsh treated

THE OIL TANKS.'
Minot Optic: For a number of years
two great tanks filled with oil owned
b" the Standard'Oil Co. have rested un
molested on two great rock pedestals
just east of the Great Northern depot.
The'y have been there so long that they
are now regarded as land marks. But
the unexplair.able system of evolution
has, according to street, gossip, done
its work and it confidentially expected
that the great iron boilers that for years
have contained liquid illuminating ele
ments that have brought cheer to man
a household in Minot, arc about to be
removed. The officials of the Standard
Oil Co. were here the latter part of
last week and looked over what the
Sop had to offer. The "Great Northern
officials also showed. fIFie Standard Oil
representative a new location somewhat
further e^st than the one now occupied.

will be finally,acccpted but it does know
that the general public does not lo°.k
