‘company, and will begin his work .in Bemidji, for the present, but Fumigated a Coach. Dr. Blakeslee, county physi- cian, this morning fumigated a coach’on the south bound M. & I. passenger train, in order that no contagion could spread from a smallpox patient who had ridden in the car. A man named McNadd was taken from the coach Saturday and removed to the Beltrami county pest house. He was af- fected with smallpox and came to Bemidji from Itasca county. He rode in the coach that was fumigated this morning. McNadd is now under strict quarantine, with no possible chance of a spread of the disease with which he is afflicted. Will Reside in Bemidji.

Starting from the base of the big toe there Is a distinct line. That Is the life line. In one foot it will curve along untll it terminates under the instep far toward the lower base of the little toe. This means long life. If broken in the hollow of the foot it denotes a sickness at middle age, and If it terminates in the hollow of the foot it means a short life. This line is the most Interesting one on the foot. The experiments that have been conducted have proved this to be an almost unfalling reading of longevity. Stmon and Grevy.

The British isles are ab- surdly small when compared with our vast areas, and this of course simplifies the operating problems. There are no snowdrifts to delay schedules, no sec- tions of crudely built track awaiting perfection, and the locomotives are never far from their home shops. Yet even with allowance for these advan- tages both freight and passenger traffic are habitually handled with a regular- ity and certatnty that deserve the high- est degree of pralse. In any large terminal in England the number of passenger trafns that arrive either ex- actly on time or a minute or two ahead 1s far greater than that of tralns even the least overdue. Five minutes is usu- ally a safe margin for an Important connection. At Finsbury Park, a sub- urban :station just outside London, trains pass on an average of one every two minutes night and day, yet this tremendous traffic is handled with clocklike precision.—Ray Morrls I At- lantic. Queer Russian Ways. If you drive through a Russian vil- lage about 10 p. m. you will be struck by the absolute quiet that pervades the scene. Not a creature, man or dog, 1s visible moving about. The place has the air of a deserted village. Suppose by some rare untoward chance you come upon a group of men standing together, apparently in conversation, you will notice that they speak in sub- dued tones, and, wait so long as you please, you will never hear them laugh. The cause is simply this: These Russian peasants belleve in evil spir- its; but, unlike the Chinese, they be- lleve that they are attracted, not frightened, by sounds. And so if some unlucky fate decree that the moujik be out of doors after 11 p. m. he is a pain- fully sllent man. This feeling also ex- tends to some of the southern towns. Klev, the holy city of Russla, is a model in this respect. After 10 p. m. you may practically have the streets to yourself.—Blackwood's Magazine. The Size of Canada. Canada Is larger than the United Btates by a quarter of a million square miles. ‘Canada contains one-third of the area of the British empire. Canada extends over 20 degrees of latitude— from Rome to north pole. Canada s as large as thirty United Kingdoms, elghteen Germanys, thirty-three italys. Canada Is larger than Australasia and twice the size of British Indla. Canada has a boundary line of 8,000 miles be- tween it and the United States. Cana- da's seacoast equals half the earth’s circumference. Canada ls 3,500 miles ‘wide and 1,400 from north to south. Impure Candy. Beware of Impure candy. Sugar In candy quickly ferments after eating, and if too much is eaten serious trou- bles often result. Pure sugar dissolves quickly In water and leaves a clear liquid, affording an easy way of test- Ing its purity. Drop a small plece of candy In a giass, and over it pour bofl- Ing water.

George Buchanan was a scholar, his- torlan, controversialist and the best Latin poet of his age. Buchanan was tutor to Mary, queen of Scots, and to her son James, afterward James I. of England. One day he caused himself to be made king of Scotland, and this 'was the way of it: Having observed in James a tendency to too ready acqui- escence, he drew up a paper for the royal pupll to:sign.

Operator Arouses Farmer and Pre- vents Collision. Hutchinson, Kan., Jan. 7.—Nora Breckenridge, night telegraph oper- ator at Arlington, near here, prevent- ed a wreck of two Rock Island freight trains. Through a confusion of orders a westbound freight cleared from Ar- lington just as an eastbound freight left Turon, two stations west. A mo- ment later Miss Breckenridge was or- dered to hold the westbound train. Langdon Station, which was between the two trains, is not a night tele- graph office. After Miss Breckenridge had tried in vain to reach Langdon she resorted to the telephone and lo- cated John Spencer, a farmer who lived near the railroad track. She told Spencer the situation, begged him to get a lantern, wrap it with a red cloth and hurry to the track. He did 80 and arrived in time to flag the westbound train, with the second train only half a mile away. CROP DAMAGE IMMENSE. Loss by Indiana Flood Estimated at $750,000. Evansville, Ind., Jan. 7.—The Ohio, river is thirty-nine feet and still ris- ing. The crop damage is estimated at $760,000 in Southern Indiana. At Pe- tersburg and other points along the ‘White, Patoka and Wabash rivers the damage reported is great, with the waters still rising, but there has been no loss of life. INCLUDE ALL NEGRO TROOPS NINTH AND TENTH CAVALRY AND TWENTY-FIFTH INFANTRY OR- DERED TO PHILIPPINES. ‘Washington, Jan. 7.—The Ninth and Tenth cavalry and the Twenty-fifth infantry, including all the negro sol- diers in the regular army in this coun- try, have been ordered to prepare for service In the Philippines and will safl at different times between March 6 and June 5 of this year. The only other regiment composed of negroes, the Twenty-fourth infantry, is now doing service in the Philippines. Other troops ordered to the Philip- pines are the Sixth cavalry and the Eighteenth, Twenty-sixth, Twenty- ninth and Thirtleth infantry. The troops which will be relieved by the sending of these new regiments will + be the Fourth, Seventh and Eighth cavalry and the Ninth, Thirteenth, Fifteenth, Sixteenth and Nineteenth infantry. It was stated by Major General Bell, chis of staff, that the negro regiments are being sent to the Philippines be- cause it is their turn to go and not because of any desire to get them out of the United States at this time. WILL FIGHT FRAUD ORDER. Counsel for Cotton Exchange Visits Washington. ‘Washington, Jan. 7—Henry W. Taft of New York, counsel for the New York Cotton Exchange, had a confer- ence with Postmaster General Cortel- you concerning the application for the issuance of a fraud order against the officers and members of the exchange by Representative Livingston of Geor. gla. Mr. Taft’s mission to Washing: ton was to ascertain the status of the case with a view to interposing a de- fense of the exchange when the de- partment is ready to hear it. He says he is quite sure that the charges filed with the department do not constitute a basis of action against either the ex. change or any of its members by the postoffice department. After his conference with the post: master general Mr. Taft went to the ‘White House to take luncheon with President Roosevelt. bt g b B 3058 POLES WIN IN COURT.

DEATH TO COMPETITION RIVAL RAILROAD MAN'S OPINION OF JOINT CONTROL OF THE HARRIMAN LINES. E. T. JEFFERY ON THE STAND PRESIDENT OF DENVER AND RIO GRANDE TELLS OF CONDI- TIONS IN WEST. New York, Jan. 7.—E. T. Jeffery, president of the Denver and Rio Grande railroad and affiliated lines, including the proposed Western Pa- cific railroad, was the first witness be- fore the interstate commerce commis- slon’s investigation of the Harriman lines: “He sald he had been in the rallroad business for fifty years and ‘was well acquainted with the railroad situation in the West. He described the Rio,Grande system and its con- nections. When the Union Pacific took control of the Southern Pacific there was a shrinkage in the amount of business received by the Rio Grande from the Oregon Short Line, “due, no doubt,” ‘added Mr. Jeffery, “to the con- trol the Union Pacific had “of the Southern Pacific.” Mr. Jeffery described the Western Pacific railroad, which, he said, has a line under construction from Salt Lake City to San Francisco. The witness read from a recent an- nual report he had submitted to the Rio Grande stockholders in which it was stated that the Union Pacific con- trol of Southern Pacific lines had re- sulted in “unexpected difficulties” and “unlooked for impediments” in getting business through to the coast and therefore the building of a competitive line from Salt Lake to San Francisco had been undertaken to protect Rio Grande interests. “Prior to the consolidation were the Union Pacific and Southern Pacific competing lines?” Mr. Severance asked. “Within certain territory, yes,” re: ‘plied the witness. “Within what territory?” Competition at Some Points. “At Chicago, for instance, the Un- fon Pacific would compete for busi- ness: to'the coast as against the Il nois Central, which sought business to be handled'to the West by way of New Orleans ‘and the Southern Pa- cific. Notall the business was com- petitive, but there was competition at a number of points.” Mr. Jeffery was cross-examined by John G. Milburn, of counsel for the Union Pacific. Mr. Milburn asked it it was not true that the great trunk lines leading west from New York; like the New York Central, the Erie and others, are just as keenly com- peting today for California business against the Southern Pacific steamers to New Orleans as they were before the Union Pacific control of Southern Pacific. Mr. Jeffery replied that there was competition, but he would hesitate to say positively that it was as keen as formerly. The trunk lines ultimately delivered their California business to the Union Pacific. Some of it also went to the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe. “The competition today,” continued Mi. Jeffery, “is under maintained rates. Outside of the question of rateg there is no reason why there should not be competition the same as there was twenty years ago.” Questioned by Mr. Severance Mr. Jeffery said the Eastern business was bid for by commercial agents. At Pittsburg; for instance, the Union Pa- cific and: Southern Pacific formerly had their separate agents. “Do you think,” Mr. Jeffery was asked, “that the competition in Pitts- burg is as keen today with only one agent there?” . “It is-difficult for a man to compete with himself.” “I think so, myself,” said the com- mission’s attorney, - OPERATIONS IN MOROCCO. Spanish Army and Navy Prepared for Action. Madrid, Jan. 7—King Alfonso pre- sided at a cabinet council at which a report was made on the preparations made for operations that might be necessary in Morocco. The ministers of war and marine announced that the troops and warships were all ready and that all detalls had been settled with the British and French governments. The projects, it was stated, had been approved by the other powers interested. 5 Senor Caballero, minister of foreign affairs, sald that the International State bank in Morocco would soon be started.

Efforts to Settle Trouble on the South- ern Pacific. : Chicago, Jan. 7.—The combined ef- forts of three of the big railroad em- ployes’ brotherhoods were exerted in * midnight conference to force a set- tlement of the firemen’s strike on the Southern Pacific railroad, which has endangered the whole labor situation on the Western roads. Grand Chief John J. Hannahan of the firemen’s brotherhood was on the defensive in the conference. Appeals were addressed to him by P. H. Mor- rissey, grand chief of the Railroad Trainmen, and A. H. Garretson, head of the conductors’ order, to call off the Southern Pacific strike and withdraw from the threatening attitude which the firemen within the last few days have assumed toward the seven rail- road systems controlled by Edward H. Harriman. 2 Grand Chief W. 8. Stone of the loco- motive engineers also participated in the conference, but refused to express an opinion. The situation as regards the possi- bility of an extended strike on the railroads is admitted to be serfous. About 175,000 employes are negotiat- Ing at the present time with the road managers for new wage scales and it is feared that the spreading of the firemen’s strike to the other Harri- man roads, as threatened by the fire- men, may precipitate an immense dis- turbance. POWDER MILL EXPLOSION FOUR MEN KILLED AND TWO FA- TALLY INJURED AT PLEAS- ANT PRAIRIE, WiS. Racine, Wis., Jan. 7.—At 12:30 ». m. an explosion occurred in the grinding mill at-the Laflin & Rand Powder Mill company, located in Pleas- ant Prairie, Kenosha county. Four persons were killed outright, two fa- tally injured and two otherwise in- jured. One of the dead is Ralph Alderson, fifty-five years old, living in Pleasant Prairie. The other three are Rus- slans, whose names are unknown. One of the fatally injured is Frank Mais, thirty years old and single. The other three are unknown and are also Rus- sians. The explosion was not very loud and the inhabitants of Pleasant Prairie could hardly hear it. The damage is supposed to exceed $10,000. The building is 20 by 60. The amount of powder blown up is not estimated. Only a short time ago an explosion occurred in a similar building but no- body was injured. THIRTY WORKMEN KILLED. Victims Were Rescuers Attempting to Save Two Comrades. Bingen, Hesse, Jan. 7.—Forty work- men were buried in the cutting of a new raflway line between Lamscheid and Leiningen. The dead bodies of thirteen of the men and fifteen in- jured workmen have been recovered. An embankment had collapsed, bury- ing two men. To rescue them large parties of other laborers employed along the line were immediately set to work and a wide pit was dug in which were about fifty men when the overhanging hillside fell, burying forty of the laborers under masses of earth. Those who were not buried began to dig out their comrades, while messen- gers were sent to nearby villages ask- ing for help. Several physicians and a large force of workmen were sent to the scene of the disaster from Bop- pard and other towns. The rescue work, which was continued through- out the night, was dangerous owing to the possibility of fresh masses of earth falling on the laborers. Most of the workmen killed were young men. Among the injured are three children. It is probable that there are still fifteen bodies beneath the fallen earth. POISONED BY CANNED BEANS. Three Californians Die Following a Camping Trip. Los Angeles, Cal, Jan. 7.—Three persons are dead here as a result of ptomaine poisoning caused by eating canned beans. Henry Carter, a well known resident of Ontario, his daugh- ter, Miss Mabel Carter, twenty-eight years old, and Charles Edward Abbott partook of canned beans for luncheon while on a camping trip and were al- most immediately taken ill. They were able to return home but the ill- ness of all three terminated fatajly. TO SUPPRESS DISORDERS. 8panish Civil Guards Supplied With Humane Rifle. Madrid, Jan, 7.—It has been decided by the government to provide the civil guards with a humane riot rifle for use in quelling disorder. The weapon will only kill at short range and is ex- | pected to lessen the chances of injury to other than rioters. The trouble caused by the raising of octroi dues, which caused an ad- vance in food values, continues at sev- eral points. Nine Bulldings Wrecked.

GREAT AVALANCHES OF MUD. Started From Summit of Vesuvius by Recent Rains. Naples, Jan. 7.—The recent heavy rains have caused enormous ava- lanches of mud to start from the top of Mount Vesuvius. They grew in size as they swept along and eventual- ly spread out over several square miles. Trees in their path were up: rooted and farm buildings were total- 1y destroyed. A number of antmals ‘were killed, but fortunately no people lost their lives. A train on the Vesuvius railroad was blocked by the mud at San Giu- seppe, a village that was partly de stroyed during the eruption of last April, BRIEF BITS OF NEWS.

It is known that the steamer, upon leaving here on Monday in the teeth of a heavy northwest gale, had some trouble on the bar, as she was stopped there for a time before proceeding on her way south. The City of Panama, one of the old- est vessels in the Pacific Mail fleet, was commanded by Captain A. W. Nelson, who has the reputation of be- ing an excellent seaman. He formerly was in command of the company’s steamer San Jose. Over One Hundred on Board. The vessel carried, besides the cap- tain, First Officer Pillsbury, formerly commander of the Manchuria when che went ashore on Rabbit island near Honolulu; two other officers, a freight clerk and storekeeper, with a crew of twelve; fifteen men in the engineer's department and eight in the steward’s department. In all the crew num- bered fifty-six. There were fifty-six passengers on board. Fifteen occupied the first cabin and fifteen were in the steerage. The other twenty-six were Chinese. Had the City of Panama continued uninterruptedly on her way she would have been due Friday at Mazatlan, Mex., her first port of call. The Pa- cific Mail boats take the outer course from San Francisco down, generally keeping outside the Santa Barbara channel islands and standing well off shore until they reach the end of the peninsula of Lower California. There they turn into the anchor off the bay of Mazatlan, which is on the mainland shore, almost opposite Cape San Lu- cas, the extreme lower end of Baja, Cal, The beach is now being patrolled for miles watching for bodies which may drift ashore.

The vessel, which left this port last Monday, was sighted at 5 p. m. of the same day about sixteen miles southwest of Point Lobos. A strong northwest gale was blowing and she was headed north at the time.
