MRS. BIDLAKES DEATH.

Milton Globe: Mrs. John Bidlake
died last Tuesday at TO- 10 a. M, after
lingering illness at the home of her
sister, Mrs. W. H. Bidlake in Osna-
brock, of Bright's disease following
various other complicated disorders,
at the age of forty years.
Notwithstanding that her demise
has been expected for some time back
owing to the distressing nature of her
illness, the occurrence has cast gloom
over the entire community. With her
family she was among the earliest
pioneers of the Bottineau settlement,
and afterward established at Osna-
brock when the railroad was extended
from Park River. For some time she
resided at Barranquilla, South Amer
lea, during the time her husband was
American consul at that place, but be-
fore the expiration of his term the
state of her health necessitated her
removal north, and since then until
last fall she has resided in Mipnea-
polls, whence her sons, John and Clar-
ence, and daughter Hetty, have been
attending the Central high school.
Mr. Bidlake was here few weeks ago,
but important business interests de-
manded his immediate return to Bo-
~
highest esteem throughout the entire
community and the bereaved husband
and children have the deepest SYM
pathy of all in their sorrow.
The funeral was held at Osnabrock
yesterday afternoon, Rev Allan Nor
rison officiating, in the presence of an
extraordinarily large assemblage of
people.

The Sort OF Table He Wanted.
The following conversation was over
heard between joiner and his custom

Joiner-Please, sir, I've brought the
table you ordered me to make.
Crstomer-Well, put it down here,
my man, and let's see what sort of a
fob you've made Of it.
The man set it down in the middle of
the room, and the customer exa9irsd
1t with the air Of 8 critic.
Customer-Why, my man, there is
here a crack filed up with putty.
Joiner-Yes, sir. Well, sir, know
about that, but it won't be noticed
when it sets hard.
Customer Coming across some more
putty)-But here's some more. my man.
What is the meaning of this?
Joiner-Well. sir, you see, little bit
Of, wood Clipped off the corner, and l
just put little putty there to fill up.
1t won't do no harm, sir, when it's set
hard.
Customer (fnding some more putty
patches)-Look here, my man, this
won't do. Why, here's big lump right
in the middle Of this leg. What can
you say about that?
Joiner Scratching his head and try.
ing hard to find some excuse by which
to retrieve his honor)-Well. sir, that's
no harm whatever, and the putty when
it sets hard will be firmer and harder
than the wood. So, you see, It will be
all the better, il You wait a bin, sir.
Customer tsarcastically)-Here, my

A MILE OF CARS.
\ RECORD BREAKING FREIGHT
TRAIN PULLS OUT OF JAMES,

A RECORD BREAKING FREIGHT
j. TRAIN PULLS OUT OF JAMES
= TOWN. -.
jamestown Capital: One Of the
longest trains ever pulled in the
United States went out of here this
morning bound east. Conductor P. F.
Delmore in charge. There were five
loads and 120 empty cars that stretch
ed an even mile including the big en-
gine that pulled the long line of cars
and "the little red caboose', behind
the train. ss:::E> 81 g. WI
1t used to be only four years ago
when % to % cars east bound was
considered a train and now the num-
bers Of loads has increased to 65 and
the. tonnage to 1900 and 1900, tons
and tests just made will probably
show that the load can be increased
to an even 1000 tons per engine east
from here. The improvements in mo-
tive power and roadbed are tending
toward increased loads, more tons of
live freight per engine and train crew,
more revenue from a smaller expense
in power and men.
Wednesday test train was tried
on the hill west of the city and in
the evening an hour was spent with

gine was stopped and started at fire.
quent intervals on the grade to show
just what the engine could start at
different points on the grade. A care
full record was made of the pull in
tons exerted by the engine at each
start.
a train of 1856 empties was recently
pulled into Grand Forks and consid-
cred something wonderful on the fat,
level tracks of the Red river valley,
but this performance in Jamestown
this morning is declared unbeaten by
any road in the northwest up to date
This long train Conductor Delmore
took out was not the heaviest, 1888
tons gross weight-which has been
taken out Of here lately, for within the
past month four trains of over 1900
tons gross have been pulled east up
the hill, the number OF cars being only
about half that of today's train. This
month MT. Delmore took out a train
of 1922 tons. Conductor Hoagland
beat that April with a train of ,925
tons and Conductor Latta in the last
few weeks has had one train of 1 ,9O9
tons and another of ! ,932 tons.

SOUTHERN MouNTAINEERs,
The Part They Played In the War
y&5g Between the States, Il

1t is odd to think that the southern
mountaineer was not discovered until
the outbreak Of the civil war, although
ne was nearly century. old then, and
It is really startling to realize that
when one speaks Of the southern noun
ltaineers he speaks Of nearly 100000
people who live in eight southern
states Virginia and Alabama and the
southern states between occupy
aregion equal in area to the combined
areas of Ohio and Pennsylvania, as
pig, say, as, the. German empire, and
richer, perhaps, in timber and mineral
deposits than any other region of sim
liar extent in the world. This region
was and Is an unknown land. 1t has
been aptly called Appalachian Ameri-
ca and the work Of discovery is yet
going on. n -
The American mountaineer was dis
covered, l say, at the beginning of the
war, when the Confederate leaders
were counting on the presumption that
Mason and Dixon's line was the divid-
ing line between the north and south
and formed, therefore, the plan Of
marching an army from Wheeling to
some point on the lakes and thus dis
severing the north at one blow. The
plan seemed so feasible that it is said
to- have materially, aided the sale Of
Confederate bonds in England, but
when Captain Garnett, a West Point
graduate, started to carry it out he got
no farther than Harpers Ferry. When
he. struck the mountains, he struck en-
emies who shot at his men from am
bush, cut down bridges before him,
carried the news Of his march to the
Federals, and Garnett himself fell
with a bullet from a mountaineer's
squirrel rifle at Harpers Ferry.-Scrib-
ner's Magazine. - >, 81, ujs -.

AT HAZELTON.
MINERS MUCH EXCITED OVER
REPORTS OF FATHER PHIL
LIPS TErA TIL

Hazelton, May 1.-THE announce
ment of Father Phillips tragic death
has thrown the entire coal district in
to furious excitement. The dead
priest was one of the nost influential
men in the Pennsylvania coal fields.
His influence over the miners was
great and it was due to his efforts that
the great strike was averted in March.
1t was also due to his counsels that
the miners refrained from becoming
violent on more than one occasion.
