| | | MILEAGE BOOK ISSUED APRIL1. Was to Have Been Issued March ‘1---Filed With Commerce Commission. The new 2,000-mile mileage book, authorized by and good on all roads in western passenger territory, which was expected to go into effect March 1, has been postponed until April. 1, when the new book will be on sale at all stations west of Chicago and east of the of the Missouri river. The new book, which has been de- scribed at length, is designed to take the place of several other, but trou- blesome mileage books, all of which will be dispensed with after April 1. The tariff sheet for the sale of the book has been issued and a copy deposited with interstate commerce commission, so there will be no fur- ther delay in its being placed on sale. Defeated Cass Lake. A hastily picked-up team consisting of A. Doran, Lester Lofberg, Jerome Meyers, George O’Brien, Roy Blood and Stewart McLachlan went to Cass Lake Saturday where they met the supposedly fast city basketball team of that place and defeated them by a score of 33 ta 16. Reports say that Lofberg starred for the locals and that George O’Brien played a magnificent game, keeping the Cass Lake center, who is supposed to be a wonder, busy all the time. Card of Thanks.

RESULT OF PREMATURE BLAST Rescue Parties at Work, but En tembed Men Are Thought Dead. —Dis: ir May Be Worst In History of Coal Mines. Primero, Colo., hve , —Over a hun dred men are believed to have been killed by a terrific explosion in the Primero mine of the Colorado Fuel and Iron Company. Fifteen bodies have been recovered and rescue parties are making desper- ate efforts to reach the interior work- ings, cut off from the outside by the caving of the main shaft. Three men | were killed at the mouth of the mine slope by the force of the explsoion. Both fans with which the mine ia equipped were shattered and it was impossible to enter the mine until they were repaired. As soon as the fans were repaired, Gen. Supt. J. F. Thompson and a rescue party entered by the main air shaft, but were un- able to reach the main shaft, which 4s completely blocked. The party re mrned to the surface after securing five bodies, which were badly burned. A perty equipped with oxygen hel- mets replaced this party. The work- ings were reached through the air shaft and are now being searched for more bodies. Little Hope fer Men. There is little hope that any of the men in the mine are alive. The com- pany clerk reports that 79 safety lamps are missing, and it fs sure that number of men are entombed. Many of the miners, however, say that 15¢ men are missing. Most of the victims are Slavs and Hungarians. Electrician Will Helm is known to be among the missing The camp is a scene of indescrib- able horror. While every ablebodied man is taking his turn with pick and shovel to clear the shaft, the women and children, kept back by ropes, have gathered about the shaft, weeping and calling wildly upon their loved ones who have not been found. Members of the first rescue party say that the effect of the explosion un- der ground is indescribable. The bodies recovered were horribly burn: ed and unrecognizable. One body was impaled on broken timbers. To Open Cherry Mine. Cherry, Ill., Feb. 1—Suppressed ex: citement prevails in Cherry among the relatives and friends of the 18¢ odd miners who lie dead in the St Paul mine. Today it will probably be known definitely whether the bodies can be brought to the surface, or whether the mine will have to be kept closed. All arrangements have been com: pleted for re-opening the shaft. While carpenters were busy with the superstructure, a young Italian woman stood in the snow mute and motionless for two hours, leaning on the iron rail about the main shaft and gazing tenderly at the cement cap that has covered her husband’s tomb for two months. The day before it was decided to re-open the mine, a woman attempted to pry off the concrete lid from the shaft. Mine Boss Waite, one of the 20 rescued alive from the mine after one week, tried to persuade the wo man to desist. She flew into a franzy and struck Waite savagely. Although 74 posthumous children have been born in Cherry since the mine fire broke out on Nov. 13, thus replacing nearly half the residents lost in the fire, the doetors are having hard work to prevent the sending away of these children. Many mothers are alarmed for fear a pestilence will sweep over the vil lage when the putrefying bodies of the men and 54 mules are brought tc the surface. Tons of disinfectants are on hand to prevent infection. The men folks of Cherry are almost ag unanimously in favor of destroying the bodies in the mine galleries as are the women against. NO FAVORS FOR JOHN R. WALSH. Former Chicago Banker Is Treated As Other Prisoners. Washington, Feb. 1.—John. R Walsh, former Chicago banker, who was recently sent to prison at Leaven- worth, Kan., to serve a sentence im. posed by the federal courts, is treated just as are other prisoners. No spe- cial privileges are accorded nim, ac- cording to a letter received by Mrs. J.

Chicago, Fev. 1—Alderman Dennis J. Egan will present to the city coun- cil an ordinance prohibiting the cold storage men from keeping their sup- plies more than sixty days. Egan de clares that the cold storage places are used to heap up foodstuffs and cause what seems to be a scarcity of of sup- ply, which raises the prices abnormal- ly. The alderman said that he want: ed such a thorough and complete in- yestigation that some permanent good would come from the inquiry. . GRAND RAPIDS HERALD-REVIEW WEDNESDAY, MARCH 9, 1910. WANT TEST FARMS MODEL TRACTS OF TEN ACRES EACH TO BE PROVIDED FOR EXPERIMENTS. (O IMPROVE MINN, AGRICULTURE Farmers Will Assemble To Study Crops and District Problems,— Commercial Club Delegates Would Aid State Growth. Minneapolis. — Demonstration farm tracts, ten in number, established in gs many sections of the state and operated under instructions of agricul- tural college experts, spreading the most advanced ideas of farming, are the novel innovation which will follow the sessions of the third annual meet- img of the Minnesota Federation of Commercial Clubs. These model farms, ten acres each in extent, are to be furnished by the various commercial clubs, acting in conjunction with the farmers. The crops are to be sown under the direc- tion of the farm school experts, with farmers from the entire section in at- tendance. Meetings are to be held in towns, following the actual work im the field, at which the farmers will be privileged to ask any questions which present themselves. Similar gatherings will attend each new step as the harvest progresses, the crop, at the end of the season, to belong to the farmer owning the land. “We don’t know just what grains will be experimented with first,” said Secretary Mosher. “Where we find a section backward in the production of certain crops, these will be given spe- cial attention.” A committee was appointed to look after the details of the scheme and to consult wth the state farm school au- thorities, as follows: A. G. Nortz, Breckenridge; E. H. Heins, Renville; John Stone Pardee, Duluth, and Allan Ferbush, Osakis. “The meeting was called to order by President D. M. Neill, of Red Wing, who also responded to the address of welcome by Mayor Haynes. Frank J. Meyst, of Minneapolis, also spoke. About 100 attended. Development of the state’s water- power, proper rotation of crops, con- servation of the coal supply and the more extensive use of peat for fuel purposes, better roads, industrial train- ing in schools, better public sanita- tion, the planting of trees on barren land and a closer relationship between the various classes of people ef the state—all were advocated by Governor Eberhart in his address on “Conser- vation” in the Commercial club rooms. Minneapolis.—Something of a stiff fight marked the closing session of the third annual convention of the Minnesota Federation of Commercial Clubs, when the report of the commit- tee on the demonstration farms to be ; established by the state university was read. It recommended that the state agri- cultural college establish such farms at Breckenridge, Renville, Pipestone, Osakis, Delano, Bemidji, Wadena, East Grand Forks, Detroit, Rothsay, Will- mar and Stewartville. Fergus Falls, St. Cloud, Alexandria, Watertown, Red Wing, Hibbing and Brook Park were included in as acces- sory list to be considered by the uni- versity. Delegates from St. Cloud and | Brainerd immediately protested against cutting their cities from the list. By the report of the nominating committee, President D. M. Neill, of Red Wing, was re-elected for his third term. Other officers were chosen as follows: F. E. Wade, of Fairmont, first vice president; Andrew Davis, of Elk River, second vice president; W. L. Brooks, of Bemidji, third vice presi- dent, and Frank J. Meyst, of Minne apolis, treasurer, The executive committee members chosen were Dr. Burns, of Stewart- ville, for the first district; F. B. Nek son, of Luverne, for the second dis- trict; W. W. Sivright, of Hutchinson, for the third district; J. W. Mitchell, of St. Paul, for the fourth district; Wallace G. Nye, of Minneanpolis, for the fifth district; R. R. Wise, of Brain- erd, for the sixth district; F. W. Mur- phy, of Wheaton, for the seventh dis- trict; H. V. Eva, of Duluth, for the eighth district, and Thomas R. Browne, of Crookston, for the ninth. The report of the resolutions com- mittee embodied a protest against ex- aggerated press reports of storms in Minnesota; a recommendation that the state investment board invest the state funds in municipal and country drain- age bonds, instead of bonds of other states; and a vote of thanks to the Commercial club, mayor and city of Minneapolis for their hearty welcome, and another to the Twin City press for its assistance in giving publicity. Resolutions deploring the deaths of the late Governor Johnson, and of the late Professor Williamson Robertson, of the Crookston school of agriculture, were also adopted. COSTS $10,909 TO LOSE. Minneapolis Six-Fer Case Legal Ex- penses Were High. Minneapolis. — It cost the city of Minneapolis more than $10,000 in spe- cial attorneys’ fees to carry the “six- fer” case to the United States supreme court. The city council claims com- mittee has approved the bill of Lan- caster & McGee, special attorneys in the case, for $7,200, balance on ac- count. About two years ago, the firm was paid $3,700, making a total 9 $10,900. . 1 CASE CALLED FOR SYMPATHY "HAD THE AUDIENCE WITH HIM Life of Single-Blessedness Made No | Appeal to Battered-Up Mar- ried Woman, = | Apropos the discussion of the ad- vantages of married life recalls the | experience of a certain bachelor maid | of some forty summers and some win- i ters. She has had proposals enough, so she says, but she prefers single- | blessedness to pouring coffee, mend- ing socks and spanking babies. She recently began devoting much of her time to working in the slums, partic- ularly among the women and chil- dren. 5 A pitiful case was recently brought to her attention to care for. A wom- an had been cruelly treated by her husband, who, as a final act, locked her out in the street. The poor, suf- fering creature, ragged and dishev- eled, reported at the charity head- quarters and begged for shelter. Miss J—— dressed her wounds, gave her something to eat and then started a sympathetic conversation with the sufferer. The latter, after recounting at much length the in- juries she had borne at the hands of her liege, lord and master, asked a few questions to satisfy her womanly curiosity about her new-found friend. “Live here?” she inquired of Miss J-—. “No,” was the reply; “I spend only a part of my time here during the day. My home is way up in Harlem.” “You’re married, ain’t you?” was the next question. “No, I'm not married; and I may never be.” The poor, wretched woman opened her bruised and swollen eyes as best she could to get a look at her friend, gazing at her in amazement. “My, my!” she said, sympathetical- ly. “I’m awfully sorry. Say, but ain’t it fierce to be an old maid?”—New York Times. USES WINGS TO CATCH FISH Sly Old Bird Is the Cassowary, Ao- cording to Observations Made by Naturalist. Habits of the cormorant and of our native fish hawk are generally known. Their methods of taking fish are very much like those of birds of prey. But the cassowary fishes according to a method of its own. A well-known nat- uralist witnessed its operations on a river in the island of New Britain. He saw a cassowary come down to the water’s edge and stand for some minutes apparently watching the wa- ter carefully. It then stepped into the river where it was about three feet deep, and partially squatting down, tt spread its wings out, submerging them, the feathers being spread and ruffied. The bird remained motionless, and kept its eyes closed as if in sleep. It remained in this position for a quar- | ter of an hour, when suddenly closing its wings and straightening its feath- ers it stepped out on the bank. Here is shook itself several times, where- upon a quantity of small fishes fell out of its wings and from amid its feathers. These the bird immediately | picked up and swallowed. The fishes had evidently mistaken the feathers for a kind of weed that grows in the water along the banks of the rivers in this island and which resembles the feathers of the casso- wary. The smaller fishes hide in these weeds to avoid the larger ones that prey on them. SUBTERFUGE NOT A SUCCESS Crosby Doesn’t Know Whether Wife Detectéd Trick or Really Was in Unselfish Mood. Crosby had always been inclined to conservatism in household expenses, especially in the matter of his wife's dress bills, relates a writer in the Sunday Magazine. His wife went so far ag to say that he was penurious. She had been in need of a new boa for a long time, and after she hinted that her happiness would never be quite complete till she had one, he at last consented to make the purchase. He went into a store and picked out two, one of which was a cheap imita- tion affair, and the other a fine ex- pensive one. Taking them to his office before go- fing home, he changed the price marks, the expensive tag on the cheap boa and vice versa. His wife examined them for a long time very seriously indeed, and then said, “Now, dear, the expensive boa is a beauty, and it is really very good of you to allow me my choice. Some women would take it without a word; but really I don’t think we can af- ford the more costly one, and be- sides, dear, I think the cheap one the more stylish too. Why, Cros, dear, what's the matter? Are you ill?” But dear old Cros had made his getaway into the night where he could kick himself as hard as he felt he de served. But what he would like to know, is this: Did his wife happen on the more expensive boa by pure accident, or— The Gonsoling Volume. There was a backward student at Balliol who, for failure te pass an ex- amination in Greek, was “sent down.” His mother went to see the master, Dr. Jowett, and explained to him what an excellent lad her son was. “It ig a hard experience for him, this dig- grace,” said the old lady; “but he will have the consolation of religion, and there is always one book to which he ean turn.” Jowett eyed her for a mo ment and then answered: “Yes, ma Christian Missionary Had Little Show in Argument with Native Mollah. As a medical misionary, stationed for 16 years in northwestern India, near the Afghanistan frontier, Dr. T. L. Pennell had his share of peril and adventure, which he has recounted in a volume entitled, “Among the Wild Tribes of the Afghan Border.” As a medical man, Dr. Pennell had doctors, who sweat their patients and burn sores with lighted oil, but have go faith in western treatment. They also bleed and purge; but gradually the new-fangled treatment was ac cepted, and grateful converts were made at the Bannu dispensary. As a missionary, Dr. Pennell had to contend with the mollahs, who are arguinentative and great browbeaters; and very often, he confesses, he got the worst of it by verdict of the tagged crowd that hemmed in the theologians. With a certain mollah, who regard ftival, Dr. Pennell had an amusing em eounter. “what becomes of the sun when it sets every day?” The doctor gave the native circle the scientific explanation. ’ “Rubbish!” exclaimed the mollah. “We all know that the fires of hell are under the earth, and that the sum basses down every night, and there fore comes up blazing hot in the morning.” All Dr. Pennell’s accounts of natural phenomena were ridiculed by the mob lah. Then, turning to his people, ke — with contempt in his face and voice: teach him everything from the be ginning.”—Youth’s Companion. SOCIAL CLIMBERS IN NEVADA Land of Gold Witnesses Many Strange Vicissitudes in the Matter of Wealth, To-day a humble gold-seeker may be living in a hutch of the simple ar- chitecture of a box car, says Good Housekeeping. To-morrow he is build- ing a “villa” with real clapboards and shingles, hiring a Chinaman of all work and sending to ’Frisco for a brass bed and a Persian rug. Some very pretty little houses begin to dot the barren landscape. A railroad stretches its metal arm down into the gold-bearing wilderness and links it with the outer world. Come tailors, modistes and milliners, soda water and ice cream, clergymen and drum- mers, pickpockets and actors and all that splendid procession from the cozy corners of civilization. Social conditions were decidedly perplexing. Your washerwoman ac- cepted a mining claim for an uncollect- able debt. Suddenly the claim yields her a fortune, whereat, to show you that her wealth has not made her snobbish, she purchases an etabo ate portable house and settles down 2s your next-door neighbor. However, if you take it into your head to move away from the vicinity of the fortunate lavandiere you would find the moving problem quite simple. A small force of husky men can pull your house up by’ the roots and carry it up a hill or down a slope without any great exertion—that is, unless your dwelling is ’dobe, or you happen to be one of the bonanza crowd and have gone in for heavy architecture.
