Wednesday morning BOUTELL BROS. ARMSTRONG GAFE WILL HANDLE A DAIRY LUNCH Method of Serving Patrons Will Be Changed, Wednesday, at the Popular Restaurant. From Monday's Daily. The Armstrong Cafe, which has heretofore been conducted as a regulation restaurant, with the meals- at-all-hours plan predominating, will be run on a different plan, beginning with Wednesday morning, when Mr. Armstrong will inaugurate what he calls “ his “Dairy Lunch.” This method of handling lunch counters is in general vogue throughout the Eastern cities, and Mr. Armstrong| believes that the new scheme of handling meals will become popular in Bemidji. The regular dinner and supper bills will be discontinued and every- thing will be served as per order. Everything ordered will be placed on the counters and each guest will wait on himself or herself. This method will give much better ser- vice, and the orders will be much more satisfactory. Mr. Armstrong is spending con- siderable time and money renovating and remodeling the interior of his place of business prior to changing the method of handling business. ‘The main portion of the lunch room is being provided with new counters, chairs and tables, some of the latter being reserved exclusively for the lady patrons of the lunch room. In the kitchen, Mr. Armstrong has installed a large new exhaust fan, which is costing in the neighor- hood of $150. This is supplied with proper flues in the ceiling which takes off the surplus heat, smoke and flies, making the kitchen comfort- able and exceptionally free from any sort of insects or excessive heat. Under the new arrangement the very best menu will be given patrons and the service will be improved, at the same time doing away with the heaver meals—you get just what you want, and in good time. The Dairy Lunch will be pre- pared to at all times furnish special bills, in season.

PITTSBURG GAR LINES TIED UP Strike of Employes Para- lyzes Service. BITTER FEELING EXISTS Prediction Made That Rioting Will Foliow an Attempt to Resume With Nonunion Men—Entire Police Force Held in Reserve and Special Depu- ties and Extra Police Guard Outly- Iing Barns. Pittsburg, June 29.—With business paralyzed to a partial extent, with in- adequate train service, with the resi- dents already becoming annoyed .over the interruption of traffic. conditions| Greater Pittsburg entered into the second day of its street car strike with none too pleasant feelings. Rioting, it is predicted, will imme- dlately follow an attempt by the car eompany to operate cars. The outlying car barns have taken the authorities’ attention from the down town districts. Special deputy sheriffs and extra police remained on duty all night at the outlying barns. The feeling of the union men and their sympathizers was evidenced when a crowd of over 500 persons gathered within half an hour at the Herron hill car barns upon hearing a rumor that the company would en- deavor to take out a car. A patrol wagonload of police dispersed the gathering. The saloons remain open. Director of the Department of Public Safety John Morin stated that he saw no rea- son to close orderly places unless the situation becomes more tense. The entire police force of Greater Plttsburg is being held in reserve at their precinet stations. Queer equipages hauled the office employes of down town Pittsburg to work. Many large concerns have en- gaged rooms for their clerical forces at down town hotels for the week. “Strike Prices” Prohibited. Rates for wagon and automobile transportation have not as yet been advanced beyond reasonable " limita- tions. The police say they will not permit “strike prices” to prevail among draymen or public conveyance companies. Thirty thousand' dollars:a day fs the estimated loss sustained by the Pittsburg company by reason of the strike. The grievances of the union men include charges of discrimination against union employes. The strikers demand hearings for discharged men; longer luncheon time; installation of bulletin boards in car barns announc- ing layoft and shorter runs. The first real violence in the car strike situation occurred when four- teen alleged strikebreakers were chased away from the Rankin car barns by union sympathizers. A fusil- lade of shots greeted the strikebreak- ers as they emerged from the barns. County Detective John Fnglert was badly beaten by the crowd at the en- trance of the barns. Men from a nearby manufacturing plant chased the strikebreakers for more than a mile. . WIFE ACCUSED OF MURDER Body of Missing Minnesotan Found Buried on Farm.

HEAT TWISTS THE RAILS er Trains Meet Disaster in*Colorado. Denver, June 29.—Two trains in Colorado met accidents as a result ap parently of the intense heat, which is believed to have twisted the rails. Eight persons were hurt, none fatally, when three coaches of the eastbound Denver and Rio Grande passenger train No. 6 went Into the ditch at Se- dalia, twenty miles from Denver. A few hours later the engine and two coaches of a Colorado Midland train were derailed inside the city limits of Denver. The passengers and crew escaped with a shaking up. It was the hottest day in ten years in Den- ver, the thermometer reaching 98.

Michaels, Md., June 29.—The coroner’s inquest into the death of Mrs. Edith May Woodill was resumed in the lonely bungalow of Robert E. Eastman, where the murder was com- mitted, and within sight of his grave. After hearing three witnesses, who gave interesting testimony but devel- oped nothing to materially change the complexion ‘of the strange case, the jury adjourned to go to McDaniel, where additional testimony is being taken. William Sutton, who went to the shack to ask Eastman to attend a re- ligious meeting, definitely fixed the time of his visit as Sunday afternoon between 5 and 6 o'clock. This also definitely fixes. the time of the murder ag oceurring on*Sunday night. Sutton swore -positively that he heard Mrs. ‘Woodill’s voice. It was conversational in tone and there was nothing to indi- cate that she and Eastman were or had been engaged In a quarrel. , George Powell, a second witness, testified that he spent all day Sunday at Sutton’s farm, within view of the bungalow, and that he saw no one go near the shack that day. Powell said he met Eastman on Wednesday In front of the bungalow and that for the first time in their acquaintance Eastman did not ask him to come in. Mrs. Eastman, widow of the sulcide, came to St. Michaels to ‘tlaim the money and property of her late hus- band. In absence of proof of her wed- ding the authorities would not give the property up. SIX THOUSAND MINERS OUT Strike May Extend to Entire South- west District. Pittsburg, Kan.,, June 29.—All the miners_in the north end of the Pitts- burg coal field, about 6,000 in pum- ber, quit work until a decision is reached In the so called check off dis- pute. It is possible that a formal strike order will be issued calling out all miners of the Southwest.

Took the Cue. “Now,” sald the teacher, who had been describing the habits of bears, “what is the flercest animal in the polar regions, Johnny?* “Why—er—er,” stammered Johnny. “Come, don’t you remember?

Mamma— What Is it? Little Dot—It's only a crack.~Pick-Me-Up. A Violin For a Vane. One of the most curious vanes to be seen on any church in Great Britain Is that at Great Gonerby, a parish ad- joining Grantham, in Lincolnshire. It is fn the form of a fiddle and a-bow and is unusually large. Its history is a curlous one. Many years ago a peasant resided in Great Goner- by who eked out a modest livelihood by performing on an old violin, which was almost a part of his life. At last he decided to emigrate and out in the far west prospered and became a rich man. One day he sent to the clergy- man at Great Gonerby a sum suffl- clent to build a church and attached to the gift the curlous condition that a ‘metal replica of his old fiddle and bow should be on the summit of the edifice. The gift was accepted, and the vane may still be seen on the church, _— Club Stories. Two stories are told of the time when the Athenaeum club, while its clubhouse was undergolng renovation, was hospitably taken in by the Unit- ed Bervice club. One was of a distinguished officer who, after a vain hunt for his um- brella, was heard to mutter, “That comes of letting those — bishops into the club!” The counterblast Is to the effect that when an Athenaeum man, while his club was still the guest of the other, asked for the librarian, the answer was, “Please, sir, he is ln the dining voom carving the roast beef!” Took Him at His Word. . Gradgrind (to his employees)—No- body but me is to touch that clock. Nobody Is to begin or leave off work except as ft indicates the time. Fore- man—VYes, sir. Gradgrind (the next day)—Why, the is one-fourth gone and nobody's at work! What does this mean? Foreman (meekly)—You forgot to wind the The Bottle at Ship Launches. Down to Charles IL’s time it was eustomary to name and baptize a ship after she was launched, sometimes a week or two after. The old Tudor method used for men-of-war was still In use. Pepys’ “Diary” shows that The ship was safely got afloat, after which some high personage went on board with a special silver “standing cup” or “flaggzon” of wine, out of which he drank, naming the ship, and poured & libation on the quarter deck. The cup was then generally givea to the dockyard master shipwright as a me- mento. When did the present usage of naming and baptizing a ship before she Is sent afloat come In? [ trace the last explicit mention of the old method to 1664, when the Royal Katherine was launched (sce Pepys). The first men- tlon of smashing a bottle of wine on the bows of a British man-of-war that I have found Is In a contemporary mewspaper cutting of May, 1780, de- lcflblng the christening of H. M. S.

A kind hearted but somewhat close fisted man .who was sorely afflicted with a consclence came to a friend. holding a visiting'card In his hand. He looked deeply troubled. “I know,” said be, “this man wants to borrow money. 1 know he will drink ft. What am 1 to do?” “It Is perfectly simple,” said the triend. “Send down word that you are out.” “I cannot,” he sald. told a lie In my life.” “Then,” said his friend, “lend all you: money to me, and you can tell him you haven’t a penny in your pocket” After some hesitation the kind heart- ©d man complied and, having seen his ealler, returned. “Well,” asked his friend, “are your eonsclence and mind at rest?" “Not quite, man,” he replled, “but they will be as soon as you have given me my money back.”—Bellmap.
