FARMERS UNITE
They Will Assemble in St. Paul
to Form State Organi-
zation.
A convention will be called in
St.Panl within two weeks for the
purpose of forming a state farm
ers' organization. Farmers in
nine states represented at the
convention of the National Farm
ers' association in Chicago this
week will assemble in a short
time for a similar purpose.
The meeting will be called by
C. E.Jackson of Buckman.Minn.,
who was elected by the fanners
of Morrison county as a delegate
to the national convention. Mr.
Jackson returned from Chicago
Thursday. He has been author
ized to call the convention, and a
number of organizers from the
national association will arrive
here to assist him in carrying
out the project. Plans and by
laws on which it is proposed to
form the organization will be sent
to Mr. Jackson in a few days.
Branch associations will be form
ed in each county.
"The purpose of the organiza
tion is to protect farmers from
monopolists and other organiza
tions that conflict with the inter
ests and general welfare of the
farmers," said Mr. Jackson yes
terday afternoon. "Under the
state organization county and
precinct branches will be estab
lished. It is our intention to
build up, if possible, the farming
industry throughout Minnesota,
and to unite our efforts with those
-of other states that $re now or
ganizing under tfie.same plan.
We, as farmers,, believe that
heretofore we have not had jus
tice in disposing of the products
.and stock of the farm. The
meeting is for the purpose of
regulating and maintaining the
rights of both farmers and con-
.sumers."
Concentration.
The men who manage some of
the largest enterprises in the
world work but four or five hours
a clay, and younger men thus
argue that they need not work
long hours to be successful. The
point, however, is that the man
who can do his work in four
hours has gained the informa
tion necessary by years of hard
labor and probably exceptionally
long hours. He concentrates his
mind on the matter in hand and
turns it off in a few hours, but he
must have'health and strength to
do it and for this reason he will
drink golden grain belt beer reg
ularly with his meals. It's the
best tonic ever brewed and should
be in every home. Order of your
nearest dealer or be supplied by
John F. Essler, Bemidji.
Routs Sign Painters.
The following clipping from an
eastern paper was handed in with
the suggestion that similar meas
ures be taken in Bemidji:
When painters of signs on
fences disregarded the protests
of Rosa Ernat, of Trenton, N. J.,
she armed herself with a meat
ax, but did not intimidate them.
She then brought out a bucket
of whitewash, and as fast as the
painters did the work she spoiled
it with, the whitewash. The
painters gave up the job.

CASE DISMISSED
Case of Sanborn v-s. C. N. and
M. & I. Railways Settled
by Stipulation.
The case of Herbert Sanborn
against the Canadian Northern
and Minnesota & International
Railway companies was dismissed
by stipulation of tlie attorneys.
This will take one of the cases
that was to be tried at this fall
term of court from "the calendar.
The plaintiff in "the case de
manded judgment against the de
fendants for the sum of $17,500,
with interest at 6 per cent per
annum from Dec. 1, 1902. It is
alleged in the complaint that the
defendants, between June 19,
1902, and the following Decem
ber, unlawfully entered the plain
tiff's premises and took 70,000
cubic yards of sand and gravel,
valued at $17,500. It is under
stood that the case was settled
by the railway companies paying
Sanborn the sum of 8600.
Climbing Mountains.
Is aV fascinating and invigor
ating pajstiine. It dcvelopes not
the body only, but the mind. The
Alpine Peaks of Switzerland have
their counterpart lit our own
country, in the Sierca.s, the Cas
cades, and parts of the Rockies.
The greatest glacial peak of
the United States is Mt. Earner
in Washington, more than 15,500
feet high. This "magnificent
mountain has 15 or more giant
glaciers creeping down its sides
and discharging^their glacial de
tritus into the^Coluirabia river or
Puget Sound.
A climb to the summit of this
is a mountaineering feat worthy
of any mountaineer. For 25 centf
Chas. S. Pee, Gen'1 Passenger
Agent of the Northern Pacific
railway, St. Paul, Minn.will
send to any address a-n illustarted
booklet called "Climtring Mt. Ra
nier" describing a climb over gla
ciers to the top of the moun
tain.

SAVED BY HER WIT.
Young Woman's Questions Completely
Surprise B*nit.
Chicago, Sept. 12. '''Hold up_ iriy
hands? How can .without, dropping
my bundles?"
This bit of woman's"wit so surprised
a masked bandit last night when he
attempted to rqb Miss K-illson of Har
vard. 111., in Michigan avenue, near
Sixteenth street, that he permitted
her to go on unmolested. Miss Killson,
who is a stranger in the city, was on
her way to visit friend^ when she was
suddenly halted by a rough-looking in
dividual who stepped from the shadow
of a building. With the command for
her to give up her pocketbook the foot
pad shoved a big revolver in the wo
man's face. She was. carrying a grip
in one hand and a hat'box in the oth
er, and as she could not comply with
the demand without first putting them
down, she so told the highwayman,
without thinking what she was saying.
When the bandit had gone and she
realized what had happened she nearly
fainted.
OLYMPIA INTO DRYDOCK.
May Take Three Months to Repair the
Cruiser.
Norfolk, Va., Sept. 12.The cruiser
Olympia went into drydock yesterday.
The vessel has suffered serious dam
age and she will remain here two
months before she can join the winter
movements off Culebra. It is not dis
closed that her frame^jvas weakened
by contact with the rocks at Oyster
Bay and there is no structural weak
ness, despite the storm encountered
coming here. Some of the navy yard
experts say that it will require three
months to repair the Olympia. Mean
time Admiral Coghland may go to
New York.
