niZe the A. r, U.


t. Paul, Mimi, Nov. 2.-When asked
today regarding the statement Of the
special A. r. q. committee investigating
grievances of Great Northern employees,
President j. J. Hill said: "You may
say, if you. like, that they are men who
are not in the employ of the ccmr2ay.
They represent nobody. They are men
who AVE committed offenses, have been
discharged for ~offenses against the gov
eminent for disobeying orders, refusing
to obey the orders of their superiors or
for stealing. We don't want to have
anything to do with them"
Further than this he would not speak.
1t is said the officers of the Great North
ern road have been thoroughly posted
on the movements of the men who have
sought to secure the reinstatement of dis
charged employees and who have protest
ed against cuts in wages. The company
claims to have no fears of a strike or of
serious trouble.

ORE PRICES GO UP.
Advance of About g a Ton on BeS-
eme for Next Seasons
Delivery.

Marquette, Mich, Nov. 4.-[Special.1-
AS the result of a conference held last
week in Cleveland between leading Lake
Superior producers, Bessemer ore prices
for next seasons delivery on various
grades will rule at least 81 higher than
at the opening of the present season.
Non-Bessemer producers are not in the
agreement, but will benefit by it. The
various managers refuse to discuss the
meeting, but there is good reason for
predicting a rise of at least 81 a ton,
and perhaps more, as there is certain
to be a great scarcity of Bessemer ore

A Most Wonderful Human Being.

NJ. de Quatrefages, the French nat uralist, reports the scientific oxnmina. tion of one of tho most remarkable hu- man curiosities or monstrosities known. Tho person in question Is Simeon Ali guire, who lives in one of the French provincial towns and who has control over his body to such remarkable de. gree that reports concerning his doings were all d1scredlted up 10 the time Of tho Quatrefages investigation. 1t was found, us had been reported, that Ali guiro was not only nu adept In the arts of tho contortionist, but that ho could, through his peculiar system of muscles and nerves, instantly cause his flesh to appear as if it had heen transformed in. to solid stone. When in this peculiar condition. his flesh could be struck with Q cane or with metal instrument, whereupon it would give off ringing sound, as though the blows had fallen upon n marble statue Assuming diff. fercnt attitude, he would throw his in. testines forward and appear as one hidcously Gcformcd, and tho next mo. mcnt ho could draw them up into the thorax and appear as a living skeleton.
 His statue pose and contortions were wonderful indeed, but what most aston. isbed the investigators was Aiguire's ability to control the circulation of his blood. This he did to tho satisfaction of all present by first stopping all oirou- lation on ono sido of his body and then on the other This he effected by mus. cular contraction. St Louis Republic.

It's funny what different thing It is when you are busted From times when you could squander
 wealth,
 And fellow humans trusted For smiles and kindly things, which cost Them not a single cent, And a return for what you did You'd scorn to think was meant. But get there, and you soon will find That those who drank your wine When you can only put up beer Are certain to decline. But why, when you've no funds for beer, You offer them your hand They coldly nod and pass you by Is hard to understand. It must be that they re made that way And can't help acting mean, And likely that their souls so small It never could be seen As fit, when they are dead and gone, With toes turned to the daisies, For any better fate than that Of everlasting bla2esi
