How to Stop Pilfering From Cars at Min
neapolis Being Considered.
MINNEAPOLIS, Nov. 2.-The state rail-
road commissioners came over from st.
Paul and met committee from the
chamber Of commerce of this city and
the superintendent of the wheat re-
ceiving railroads to consider what ar
rangements could be made to prevent
frequent pilfering of wheat from the
cars while standing in the railroad yards
in Minneapolis. The matter was dis
cussed and a committee appointed, con-
sisting of Railroad Commissioner Leg
gift, Chief Grain Inspector Claussen,
State Weighmaster Reese and the
superintendent of each of the wheat
receiving roads, together with three
men to be appointed by the chamber of
commerce, to further consider the mat
ter, formulate plans, and, if necessary,
secure the cooperation of the city au-
thorities of Minneapolis for the repres-
sion of the evil. 1t was admitted by all
parties that the pilferings have been
very extensive and the railroad compa-
MES especially are anxious to have them
stopped. AS much as ten bushels are
frequently stolen from single Car.

Politics Cause Row in the w. c. 7. o.
Convention-Omcer Elected.
DENVER, Nov "A woman's conven-
ton without row would of course be
novelty and the trouble in the w. c. T.
q. originated over the report on '.The
Temple" by Mrs. Matilda B. Corse,
president of the Temple association, and
1t all came about because rooms in the
Temple at Chicago had been rented to
the Republicans for headquarters. The
Southern delegates were of the opinion
that the Temple could be put to better
use than to be turned into recruiting
place for political party and especi-
ally the Republican party, and they
made some very cutting remarks.
There were few women in the conven-
ton hall who were Republicans and
they resented the imputation cast upon
the party. Peace finally reigned and
business was proceeded with. 1t was
shown by the board of Temple commits
sion that rents for six monthsSaggre-
gated $15O,000 and would probably ex-
coed that amount hereafter.
Mrs. j. B. Hobbs, of Chicago, super
intendent of the national temperance
hospital, made the report on that in
stitution. There were 121 patients dur
ing the year of which IL were men and
the balance women. The death rate
was 2 l-2 per cent, the lowest of any
hospital in the United States. The
balance of the session was taken up
with reports of standing committees
which were of little general interest.
The night session was devoted to re-
ports from state presidents and the
presentation of the presidents prize
banners.
At the morning session national Of
ficers were elected as follows: Miss
Frances Willard, president; Mrs. Wool
bridge, recording secretary; Mrs. Car
oline B. Buell., corresponding secre-
tary; Mrs. l.. M. N. Stevens, as
sistant recording secretary; Miss
Mather Pugh, treasurer.

Stock Business Growing.

PIERRE, 8. D., Nov. 2.-Twelve train
loads or over 100 cars of cattle have
been shipped to market from Pierre in
two days past. The total shipment thus
far from this city this fall is nearly TO-
900 head, and this will be increased to
fully $4,000 head before the shipping
season is over. When it is taken into
consideration that each steer brings
about $40 the amount of money that the
cattle men are receiving is found to be
over $500, 900. The growth Of the stock
business west of Pierre has been phe-
nomenal, as it is only little over two
years that the country has been open to
settlement.

Remarkable Feat of Strength.

E. P. Kendall gave a remarkable eI-
hibition Of his skill and strength with a
ten-pound dumbbell at noontime. He
matched himself against eight strong
men employed upon the grade work
about the county court house, and
agreed to put mp from shoulder to arms
length a ten-pound duInbbell more times
than the eight iuen could. Kendall has
a limb which makes it necessary for him
to use crutches. and as ne is Of very
slight build the result of the contest APP
peared to be a foregone conclusion.
One after another the eight men took
their places, Kendall keeping time with
each one. and after the eighth had
dropped his arm from sheer exhaustion
Kendall smiled pleasantly and ran up
his score of consecutive lifts to an even
1000. His best score with 4 twelve-pound
bell is 1900 lifts, and he has a brother
who holds the worlds championship

POLITENESS IN TfIIBET.


Chinese philosophers say that manners
differ every hundred Ii of distance, and
customs are ne longer the same cyc~y

ThibetanS vary, but in most parts it Is
usual for Il wOman going to sec Il priest
to smear her face with mG.lsseS. If
this is not done it is said that she is try
ing to captivate the lama by her cOmeli-
ness-an objectionable crime. y sign
of p]oliteness on meeting Il person is to
hold up the clasped hands and stick ont
the tongue. When a man dies One-half
of his property goes to charity and the
other half to the lalnas. His family
gets nothing.
One of the writers quoted observes
that in case OF death the corpse Is tied
up with the head between the knees,
and suspended in rawhide bag from
the ~rafters. \ few days later it is taken
to the corpse cutters place, where it Is
tied to a post. The flesh is then cut off
and given TO dogs and the bones crushed
in a stone mortar and made up with
grain into balls, which are also thrown
to dogs and vultures. Both these meth
| DDS of burial are considered highly lie
sirable.

women are stripped and beaten IN the

GRANGEvILLE. IDAHO.

If the people of this neigh
borhood want one Of the state
agricultural experiment sta
tions located here, it is high
time that they made their
wants known, as the board will
meet early in February to de-
eide upon the locations. If
we want any of these state in
stitutions located here, we will
have to do as our neighbors do,
get in and hustle, and make
our wants known. This public
apathy has always been the
bane of Camas Prairie and
Lewiston. Instead of making
an active effort to secure the
location of these establish
ments in our midst, we have
allowed them to go elsewhere
by default, and have thereaf-
ter contented ourselves by re-
Wiling the southern counties
for their superior public spirit
and enterprise.
We should like to see some
action taken by the people of
this community to secure the
location of this experimental
station here, not only because
this is the most suitable site
for it, but because it will very
greatly strengthen the hands
of our representative in the
next legislature when the con-
test for the location of the
State Agricultural College is
renewed. At the last session
Camas Prairie developed unex-
pected strength as a candidate
for that institution, and if we
had only had fair shake we
could have captured the prize
away from all competitors.
Why cannot the members of
Charity Grange move in the
matter? The subject seems to
be peculiarly within their .ju-
risdiction. And the Fairview
Farmers Club might also lend
a hand and help capture that
experimental station for this
Prairie. A donation of land
and suitable buildings is all
that is required. Let us at
least do something to show
that we are alive and that we
have faith in our own country
