"a Journalists Fracas. !,

Chicago Times: The editor Of the
Bowmanville Canadian Statesman had
rather lively adventure the other day
--one somewhat outside the experience
oil the average newspaper man of the in
tersely sober dominion. Here is his own
lucid account OF the stirring episode:
''The past week has been one OF un-
usual excitement in town over fraess
in journalistic circles. Mr.. Olimie seems
to have applied to himself one or more
paragraphs that appeared In our last ls.
sue, and on Friday last he followed us
into Messrs Murdoch's grocery store and
asked us to whom they we're meant to
apply. We refused to comply with his
request, saying that we wanted nothing
to do with him, or words to that effect
After vain attempt to draw satisfac-
tory answer from us he made q cowardly
attack upon US from behind, and dealt
us blow on the ear. We turned to de-
fend onrself, and received another blow
on the left temple. We then went for
him. and after brief scufae got his
head in chancery,' as our counsel
termed it. We had on our overcoat and
gloves when attacked, being too Iii that
cav TO WORE ana was gong home to go
to bed. We had been under the DOCTORS
care for the previous three weeks, and
was suffering at the time with violent
attack Of sick headache, in addition TO o
more serious silment, so We were not in
lighting 'fettle.' After we had got his
head under our arm and his wrists se
3fmly gripped as our strength would
permit. we said to the onlookere: Gen
tlemen, am sick to-day and do moi
want to fight We were then parted
by MIR. 7. Burrows, of Hampton and Mr.
John Irwin"
Nothing SO neat in the way of auto.
biography has been prepared since

assault on him some thirty years ago, ii
which account, it will be remembered

II is not likely that any amendment
proposing radical change will be
adopted.

Dawson county has fully redeemed it
self in the action OF its republican con-
ventien, which unanimously adopted the
following:
Resoloei By the republicans of Davi-
son county in convention assembled that
we heartily approve and are in favor of
the division of this territory upon the
seventh standard parallel, and OF its ad-
mission to the union as two states, and
that We hereby instruct our delegates TO
the territorial convention at jamestown
to use their influence to have these SEN
tlments Incorporated in the territorial
platform OF the republican party, and
to vote first, last and all the time for
such measure.
This is the first time any Dawson
county gathering has expressed itself for
division and the yigor with which it now
advocates the popular cause OF the south
atones for pest neglect Of the subject. A
feature OF the proceedings Of the conven
tion which adopted the foregoing resoln-
tion was the open assertion OF 81. O.
Preston, of Mitchell, that he was not an
ardent supporter of the one state idea
and that he greatly preferred division.
Mr.. Preston was the presiding officer OF
the Aberdeen one state conventIe n
which has been used at Washington to
accomplish the defeat OF the division
project. There does not seem to be any
thing left of the Aberdeen movement bat
Springer and Ordway Johnson.

" aHhins ton. speeiai. Up ii TINS Wiisas
of northern Minnesota lives G veteran OF
the war OF 1872. He fought through it
like true American citizen, and though
now 81 years old has been able TO take
care Of himself. When SO years OF age
so great was the vigor of old John Chase,
then of Utica. n. Y, that he gathered
his worldly possessions and started for
the west to grow mp with the country.
For while he prospered fairly, bat
now he finds himself compelled to ask
the government thst he 80 valiantly de-
Tended in the days OF his youth to make
some modest provisions for his declining
years. A few months ago he applied to
the commissioner of pensions for the an
unity paid all survivors Of the war of
1872. The application was referred to
the war department for an examination
OF the records. Shortly after the white
haired veteran was astonished TO
receive notice that no pension could
be granted to him for the reason
that he rested under charge OF des-
ertion. Inquiry developed the fact that
Chase was member OF Capt. Seth
Langdon's company OF the New York
state militia, Rerrisoned durisg the
laIter part OF 1914 near Niagara Falls.
Toe war was practically over early in
October, and She oath of that mont b
Chase and forty five OF his comrades,
believing that if the trouble was not
past it ought to be, shouldered their
muskets and marched off home, leaving
Capt. Langdon, q lieutenant and four
men in charge OF the post. Hostilities
formally ceased Nov, 1st. 1914, sIx days
later, but in the meantime Chase and his
companions in arms had been reported
ss having left the post. They were ac-
cordingly recorded as deserters. For
seventy-four years John Chase rested
under this stigma and did not know IL.
He only finds it out when he asks for a
pension, which the special act OF con.
gress to removt the charge to- day intro
duced in the touse will speedily bring
him.

Iowa Rates to Come Down.

Chicago, May lit has developed
that the elaborate distance tariff which
the Iowa roads put into effect Wednes-
day, was only adopted conditionalIy and
that there is more than fair prospect
that rates all over the state of lows will
drop 10 to ~ per cent before the end OF
the month. The Illinois Central elaims
that the new Iowa rates are too high in
comparison with the Minneapolis rates,
and in consequence, place Iowa shippers
at disadvantages. 1t, however, has
agreed to adopt the new Iowa tariff il
the northwestern roads will agree 70 adj
vance rates TO Minneapolis about so Der
cent. SO as to equalize the lowe and the
Minneapolis tariffs. A meeting of the
northwestern roads has been called for
next Tuesday. to consider ths PROPOSE
tion, In the event, which is considered

to advance rAtes in the northwest, the
Illinois Central will at once give notice
that ii will put into effect new dis
tance tariff reducing its rstas on all lines
in Iowa 10 TO 10 per cent. This will
force competing lines TO sake similar

The action OF the CITY council at Bea-
atric, Nebraska, upon the subject of
paving material will attract attentio all
over this region OF the west where
natural paving material is expensive and
difficult to obtain. a committee Of the
council went out upon tour of lnvesti-
CATION and visited, among other places,
the cities of Peoria, Bloomington, De.
catur aud Springfield, Illinois, where
the paving SUBJECT was made study,
The result OF the trip is that the COM
mitsee recommends vltrified brick for
paving material over all materials in
use. In Peoria brick he's been used four
years, in Decatur seven years and in
Bloomington eleven years and In each
instance the brick pavement ia now as
good as when fret laid. Experiments Is
have SO far demonstrated the economy
and aSaptablilfy OF vttfif7od sFi 5TFiah ssttitsts
I'D the future no other material will be
used. Beatrice is SO we'll satisfied with
she result of the Investigation OF it's
committee that it wSli this year pave
two miles of street with vitrified brick.
This is an important conclusion to
prairie cities which possess the raw ma.
terial from which brick can be manu-
factuEed. The yItrifying process can be
cheaply employed, 1t consists only in
burning a hard. classy surface on the
brick by exposing them directly to the
fire. This is an industry which might
readily be made profitable in any Dako-
ia city where brick clay is abundant.
