Friends in Bemidji of Sheriff Hen- ry Forrer will read with interest the following from the International Falls Daily Journal: “For the past few weeks it had been no secret that Henry W. Forrer, sheriff of this county, was about to make a capture that would eclipse any former official act of his and give him a greater reward than he had before won, the ‘warrant’ to be is- sued in a regular way by Clerk of Court Drummond and the ‘sentence’ of the prisoner to be pronounced by a Duluth minister. In other words, Mr. Forrer and Miss Gertrude Lee of | Madison, Wis., were to be married ‘on Wednesday of this week at the Zenith City. “Preparations had been made by them to leave Sunday night for Du- luth, but at the last moment they de- .cided to have the ceremony performed here and thus fool their friends by a few days. At eleven o'clock that night, at the sheriff’s residence, which is presided over by Mrs. E. J. Holler, in the presence ot Mr. and Mzs. Holler, Mr. and Mrs. Harman and Miss Lee, a sister of the bride, ‘Rev. Chappell of the M. E. church, :spoke the words that made them man :and ‘wife. After they had received the hearty congratulations and best wishes of those present, the happy couple boarded a waiting auto and went to Ranier, where they caught the Canadian Northern passenger train for Duluth. After a short stay ‘at the ‘latter place they will go to Madison and Milwaukee, Wis., to vis- it their parents, and will be at home at ‘the sheriff’s residence after No- vember 15th. i “The bride is a charming young! lady who won many friends during her residence here, during which shei was in charge of the millinery de- partment at Burton’s. Everybody in the county knows the groom, so he needs no introduction, and those who are acquainted with his bride are vot- ing him a mighty fortunate fellow. Congratulations and best wishes fol- low Mr. and Mrs. Forrer, and they can rest assured of a hearty welcome upon their return home, despite the fact that they took such an unfair :advantage of their friends.” The tenth annual convention of the Upper Mississippi River Improve- ment Association met for a two days’ session at Alton, Ill.,, today with President Thomas Wilkinson of Bur- lington, lowa, presiding. The at- tendance includes numerous state and city officials and representatives of commercial and other organiza- tions of Wisconsin, Minnesota, lowa, The number of Episcopal bishops will be increased by five or six as the vesult of action to be taken by the House of Episcopal Church Bishops, ‘which met for a special session in New York today with Bishop Tuttle of Missouri presiding, Vacancies in Japan and China are to be filled and bishops chosen for the new mission- ary district to embrace the Panama Canal zone and for a new missionary district in South Dakota for the bene- fit of the Indians in that section. At the Minneapolis Auditorium to- night William J. Bryan will make the opening address of the 28th an- uual convention of the Minnesota KEducational Association. At the suc- ceeding sessions of the convention, continuing through tomorrow and Saturday, the speakers will include Dean Shailer Mathews of the Univer- sity of Chicago, President George E. Vincent of the University of Minne- sota, B. K. Bliss of Iowa Agricultural College, Eugene E. Davenport, dean of the college of agriculture of the University of Illinoisy and Guy E. Maxwell, president of the Winona normal school. Humble Ambitions. He led a free and easy life And did some business, more or less. If he could just keep out of jail He rated that as a success. When a man wears a new hat ‘down the street, if a third of the men he meets are not wearing one like it he feels like a jay, but if a woman sees another hat like hers she goes home, throws ehr hat in the corner and vows she will never wear the old thing again. " FOUND AND LOST GOLD. General Sutter Discovered the Precious Metal In California. “Tt is not generally known,” said a mineralogist, *“‘that the discoverer of gold in California was a Pennsylvanian and at one time a resident of Philadel- phia. This distinguished pioneer lies buried in the soil of Pennsylvania al- most forgotten. He was General John 'A. Sutter, a Swiss, who emigrated to Philadelphia in 1834 and became a citi- zen of the commonwealth. His grave is in the Mennonite burying grounds at Lititz, Lancaster county, in which village he spent the last years of his life. “General Sutter was born in 1803 in Baden, Germany, near the borders of Switzerland. Upon his arrival in this country he spent some time in Phila- delphia, subsequently removing to the vicinity of Lititz, where, in the midst of relatives, he engaged in farming. Possessed of a roving nature, however. it was not long before he yearned to explore the great unknown land be- yond the Rockies. After many priva- tions he reached California some time in the early forties and staked a claim. It was in the fall of 1848, after a heavy rain, that, attracted by yellowish de- posits in a small stream, he made his great discovery of the precious metal. The news of his find spread rapidly. and the following spring the great rush from the east began. “General Sutter amassed a consider- able fortune through his gold diggings. but lost most of it through unfortu- nate speculations. He returned to Pennsylvania in 1871 and spent his declining years in retirement, living on the pension of $250 a month voted him by the California legislature. He died June 18, 1880. Two of his pall- bearers were Generals John C. Fre- mont and Ambrose E. Burnside, who had been his friends in California.”— Philadelphia Record. FATTED SHEEP. Tails of the Syrian Breed Weigh Ten to Fifteen Pounds. | It has been suggested that in the sheep fattening process, which is com- mon in the vicinity of Damascus, one might be able to trace the original meaning of the Biblical phrase. “the fatted calf.” Mrs. McIntosh thus de- scribes the process in her book, “Da- mascus:” “The sheep differ from ours. When we show pictures of the latter to the natives they ask what animals they are. They miss the enormous tails of the Syrian sheep, in which the fat of the body seems to concentrate and which, after skinning and preparing, often weigh ten to fifteen pounds. “Early in the summer the head of each family buys or sets apart ome, two or three sheep. according to- his rank in lfe or his wealth. The wom- en and children devote themselves with great zeal to fattening these sheep. The children fill large baskets {with mulberry leaves and carry them ‘to their mothers. These several times a day and also in the night take lit- i tle wooden stools and sit by the sheep. |'With one hand they keep the sheep’s mouth open; with the other they cram ‘ln the leaves, forcing them down the throat. “Twice a day the sheep are led to the village fountain to drink, and their coats are frequently washed. About i the end of September the work of the women and children comes to an end. 1 The sheep have grown so fat they cannot stand up. They are then killed Their flesh is boiled with spices and put into pots for winter use. This mincemeat is eaten as a relish at fes- tivities.” It Was His Mistake. ! Mr. Newed (the week before his birtbhday)—Good gracious, here are six boxes of cheap cigars my wife has evi- tdently bought me for a present! | couldn't possibly smoke such vile things. and still I wouldn’t like to hurt her feelings by refusing. I'll just sub- ' stitute six boxes of my best Havanas and throw these cheap ones away be- , fore she returns. Mrs. Newed (the day after)—Oh, {Tom, I bought six boxes of cheap ci- gars yesterday for my dear Uncle Jo- nas, the sea in, who. lives in ,Wales I have just |.sted them to ‘him. They only -ost 11+ 5 shillings a ibox. but I'm sure he won't be able to iltell them from good ones. Why, how funny you look, dear! i London Tit-Bits. Too Much Appreciation. A biography of Huxley dwells on the annoyance which he suffered from bores. But the plague had its funny side. Huxley once wrote to a friend: “I had a letter from a fellow yester- {day morning who must be a lunatic, to the effect that he had been reading my essays, thought I was the man to spend a month with and was coming down by the 5 o’clock train attended by his seven children and his mother- in-law!” Defunct, Arithmetically. “So poor Dinny is a dead man.” “Oi didn’t say that. Oi tould you he was half kilt from a blast in the quarry.” “Well, an’ wasn’t he half kilt only last month fallin’ down an elevator? How many halves has he got to be killed?"—Boston Transcript. Quite the Other Way. “Does your wife go to services to see what other women wear?” “No,” replied Mr. Cumrox. *‘“We are now sufficiently prosperous for her to go in order to let other women see what she wears.”—Washington Star. If hero mean sincere man., why may not every one of us be a hero.—Carlyle. Are you ill?— H | THURSDAY, OCTOBER 26 Box and Its Meanings. The word “box” has a 'great many different meanings. Here are some of its uses as a noun substantive: First, a case of any size or material, akin to pyx, from pyxus, the box tree; second, the driver’s seat on a carriage, which often has a lid covering a receptacle for small parcels; third, a present, es- pecially a gift at Christmas time; fourth, inclosed seats in a theater or in a court of justice; fifth, a box drain; sixth, a snug private house, as a shoot- ing box: seventh, a cylindrical hollow iron in wheels, in which the axle runs; eighth, a trough for cutting miters in carpentry; ninth, the space between the backboard and sternpost of a boat; tenth, an awkward position—e. g., “in the wrong box;” eleventh, the box tree; twelfth, the box iron of a laundress. | Box is used also as a verb, to fight | with fists or gloves: fourteenth, to go | over the points of the compass in or- | der, describing its divisions; fifteenth. | to strike with open hand upon the ear; sixteenth, to cause a vessel to | turn on her keel, to box haul. Other | uses also are consequent upon these. { Two Clever Statesmen. ; One crisis in Lord Palmerston’s life illustrates the absolute good humor | which may prevail even when political | enmity is at its worst. Lord Derby had made an attack upon him in the upper house with such energy and elo- ; quence that the odds against him seemed overwhelming. But he defend- ed himself and his policy from the dusk of one day to the dawn of an- other with such tact, dexterity and force of appeal to the national sense of | honor that he was acquitted of all | blame by a majority of fourscore. : Next day in passing through the cor- | ridor leading from an anteroom to tbe | upper house one swing door opened to his hand and at the same moment the other to that of Lord Derby. They were opponents, but they were also manly and sweet natured men. They smiled. “I was just thinking,” said Palmer- ston, “what a clever fellow he was who 80 nearly put me in a hole!" “Ah,” was the rejoinder, “but noth- ing like the cleverness of the fellow who got you out of it!” Winning a Bet. Lord Marcus Beresford is, lke all | the Waterford family, full of high spirits. There is but one person en- titled to drive down Rotten row—the Duke of St. Albans—and it is doubt- ful if ever he cares to exercise the privilege. But Lord Marcus bet he would do it in broad daylight and without interference. The wager was accepted and the time fixed for the adventure about noon. All Lord Mar- cus' friends came trooping along to | see him, Lut time went on, and noth- ing could be seen of the sportsman. By and by a watering cart came along, driven by the usual waterman in a smock. As the car passed along leisurely the driver smiled. and on closer observation Lord Marcus' friends recognized the winner of the wager.—London Sketch. A Window Washer’s View. A window washer was called upon one day to clean the windows of a business concern on the nineteenth floor of a skyscraper in lower Broad- way. The cleaner paused in wonder- ment as he passed through the lines of typewriter operators as they click- | ed off their correspondence and went to the window uand fastened the two straps dangling from his belt to hooks at the side of the window frame. He | cast another surprised glynce at the men operating the typewriters, and as he swung outward over the dizzy height, his weight sustained by the slender straps, he muttered: “It's mighty odd how some people do make their living in this world anyway!"—New York Herald. The Greatest Traveler. By migrating from pole to pole the arctic tern becowmes the greatest trav- eler in the world and also manages to enjoy more daylight than any other bird. It has been found nesting with- in 500 miles of the pole. When the young are grown the entire family leave for the south and some months later are found skirting the edges of the antarctic. * As the daylight season draws to a close in the far south the long journey north is undertaken. The Secrot Blotter. . Every foreign office of Europe acts on the theory that an army of sples is constantly on the alert to steal its secrets, and infinite precautions are taken to baffle their efforts. Very shortly after the first use of blotting paper it was ‘discovered that it was quite possible to cause a blotting pad to give up jealously guarded secrets by simply holding it in front of a mir- ror. Long after all the commercial world had forgotten the existence of such a thing the British foreign office used a sand shaker to dry its impor- tant written documents. Then spe- cially manufactured black blotting pa- per was used, but this was not found to be absolutely spy proof, and a re- turn to the sand shaker was contem- plated when some one suggested the simple expedient of a small absorbent roller. These rollers have since been used for drying diplomatic documents. ‘When such a roller has been run up and down and across a document once or twice the cleverest spy in the world is at liberty to try his band at de- ciphering the impressions. 1t Didn’t Work. “The late Andrew Gernand of Balti- more was an inventor who devoted his life to perpetual motion. pausing by $he way to invent for one son a corn reaper that brought in $1.000,000. and for another son a corn sheller that netted an almost equal fortune.” The speaker, an official of the pat- ent office in Washington. shook his head sadly. “Once,” he resumed. “I ventured to take the brilliant Gernand to task. I told him he was wasting his time on perpetual motion. I said that there ought to be a law forbidding all per- petual motion work. “‘Do you think," said he, ‘that a law forbidding work on perpetual motion would do much good? “‘I'm sure it would," said I. “¢‘And yet you must remember,’ said Mr. Gernand with a twinkle In his eye. ‘that there was a law forbid- ding apples in the garden of Eden.’ "— Los Angeles Times. A Duplex Church. Old Heidelberg is justly celebrated | for its castle, for the great tun there- in which holds 83.000 bottles of wine ; and was actually filled on three oc- casions, and for the ancient university with one professor for each seven stu- dents: but perhaps the most interest- ing thing in the old city from one point of view is the Church of the ‘Holy Ghost. This church is one of the most an- cient buildings in the town. Long ago a partition wall was run through the center, and services are held simul- taneously according to the Roman Catholic and the Protestant rituals. In the year 1791 the Elector. Charles Philip. attempted to stop the dual serv- ices, but this so offended the Heidel- bergers that he was compelled not only to desist in this effort. but to remove the electoral court to Mann- heim.—Flarper's. “Railways” and “Railroads.” We are all speaking of “railways" now instead of “railroads,” as they do in America. Both words seem to be of about equal age in this country. Cobbett in 1832 wrote of “rail-ways” with thie hyphen, Scott in 1831 of “rail- roads."” But already in 1838 an en- gineering journal declared that ‘rail- way"” by this time seemed to be gen- erally adopted as the popular form, though nearly twenty years later Rus- kin still talked of ‘‘railroads.” It is curious that America has preserved the word which remembers the de- scent of the railway from the old road, while Americans speak of “‘engineers’ and “conductors” where we say “driv- ers” and “guards,” perpetuating the | old coaching words.—London Specta- tor. Matrimonial Note. “This thing of getting married,” said the girl who was busy with her trous- seau, “is certainly a trial.” “A trial, yes.” agreed the cynical bachelor, “but it isn’t half so bad as working out the sentence.”—Town Topics. The habit of being critical about small things is not a good one to estab- lish in one’s life.
