COOK & O'BRiEN..INJfRESISs
Gain Control Of Rainy Lake Interests
(: and VIII Extead Line to Boundary.

J A deal of more than passing in
terest to Virginia was coneummat-
ed in Duluth the first of the week in
the purchase by the Cook & OBrien
interests of the Ruggles interests in
the properties of the Rainy Lake
company. The deal involved the
payment of several million dollars,
and gives to the present predomi-
nant interest control of the Duluth,
Virginia & Rainy Lake railway and
the mill and large timber holdings
of the Virginia Lumbercompany.
The deal carries with it the trans.
fer of upwards of billion feet of
timber tributary to the new line, a
great amount of which will be man.
.nfactured at the local mill of the
company. The transfer also revives
the hope of the erection of another
mill at this point, as the company
will assuredly erect another large
mill either in conjunction with it's
present plant or at some point up
the line.
Both W. H. Cook, president.o of the
railroad, and William O'Brien, pres
ident of the new company in charge
of all Incorporates. are favorable
to the immediate extension of the
Rainy Lake road to the boundary at
International Falls, and,it is conf.
IDENTIFY anticipated that under the.
new regime active work on the line
wall commence this fall and that the
people of the range will be given
through service to the border anotl1-
er year.

The New York Agricultural Expert
men station at Geneva was asked to
ascertain the causes of poor quality,
and to outline the methods of secur-
ing good vinegar. 1t is found that,
properly done, there should be no diff
ficulty in making vinegar containing
the required AS per cent Of acid from
York State apples and by careful con-
troll of conditions the time of max
ing may be considerably shortened.
II the cider is not properly made and
handled, however, the vinegar may
easily fall below the standard, through
failure to reach the required acidity.
or through deterioration after the acid
has been formed, Only sound, ripe
apples should be used, avoiding dirty
fruit or washing it before pressing.
Use only juice from the best press
ing, place in clean barrels which
have been treated with hot water or
steam to destroy undesirable germs.
The barrels should not be full, nor
tightly corked, as free access of air is
desirable. In ordinary cellar temper
atures the first stage, the alcoholic
fermentation, should be complete in
five or six months; but by storing In
warmer rooms, and by the use of
yeast the time can be much shorten-
ed. The second stage, the acetic fer
mentation, may be hastened by heat
and by use Of q good starter" or
mother" or sharp vinegar When
the required acidity is reached tho
barrel should be filled to the bung
and corked tightly to avoid undeslr-
able lamentations.

BRYAN S COUSIN
She Is Mrs. Emma oilIis and Lives
in East Liverpool.

East Liverpool Review: Many peo-
pie have claimed relationship to VIII
liam Jennings Bryan, and found to
their disappointment that every per-
son whose surname begins with the
letter "B" cannot trace a connection
to the great champion of free silver,
but East Liverpool can boast of hav-
ing full cousin to him and the for
tunate parsonage is Mrs. Emma Gillis,
Of West Grant street Col. Bryan did
not learn until late yesterday evening
that the woman was of his own kim
dred and he hastily procured a cab and
made her visit.
Mrs. Gillis came to East Liverpool
about two years ago from Gallipolis.
She has known all along that she was
related to Mr.. Bryan, of course, but
like all other great men, his recollec-
tion OF faraway connections is not
clear and it was not surprising when
he made the statement upon being in
formed that Mrs. Gillis was his cousin,
that she was in a class with thousands
of others who had thought the same
thing. However, DIR. George p. Ikirt,
knowing the woman, advised him to
call upon her and find out, and he did
SO, much to his Joy.
| When he alighted from the cab and
walked up to the front steps Of the
Gillis home, he was met at the door by
the woman, and greetings were COR
daily exchanged. But Col. Bryan
made no show of affection until she
showed him that she really was his
cousin. She told him all about his
people and traced the relationship per-
fectly, but he would not be convinced
until he entered the parlor and saw
the picture of his own father, Cyrus
Bryan, in a frame alongside the pic
ture of Mrs Gillis' mother. He read
| lily recognized both, who were brother
and sister and there was then no
doubling Mrs. Gillis' statement that
she was a cousin of the famous Demo-
crat.
Just as soon as he learned the truth,
Col. Bryan forgot all about the differ
ence between his position in life and
that of Mrs. Gillis and gave her a
most affectionate embrace. They
chatted then for fully an hour, recall
ing old times when they played to-
gether as boy and girl and both en-
joyed the meeting hugely.

CHARGES AGAINST
GOVERNOR WHITE
VIII Be Prosecuted by Former Gov.
ernor McCorkle-AIiesatlon of
Corrupt Practice Made.

Wheeling. w. Va. March 2.-For-
mer Governor w. A. McCorkle. Of
West Virginia will prosecute the
charges made against Governor A. b.
White, acting in this capacity for the
committee which was named recently
by the legislature to investigate the
matter.
The charges against the governor
were made by Senator Charles T. Cald-
well, Of Parkersburg, who stated on
the floor of the senate that he could
prove that Governor White had exer-
cised unduly the influence of his Office
in representing to outside corporations
that he would, ''for consideration"
zee that their annual charter taxes
were decreased and that legislation
would be secured favoring them more
than they are now. Senator Caldwell
also said the go(srnor and the secre-
tary of state divided the enormous
fees accruing to the latter's Office.
Later, Senator Caldwell made a
speech In tho. senate, intimating that
he did not care to 90 into the matter
further. Governor White sent strong
message to both houses, demanding
that the investigation proceed. The
special committee than appointed has
retained the former governor, Dem
ocrat, and the investigation will pro-
eeed without delay.

New Brunswick N. j.. March g.
Rev. j. F. Cordova and Miss Julia
Bovine were locked up in the Middle
sex county Jail here shortly after 6
o'clock tonight Detective Francis
Mulvey arrived with them at the
Pennsylvania railroad station at ten
minutes to six. The station platform
was crowded with 200 people many of
them from South River, where the
couple eloped from year ago.
When the train stopped, Detective
Peltier served warrant upon Miss
Bovine drawn by Justice Sedan on
complaint of Prosecutor George Ber-
dine, asking for her arrest as state
witness. She and Cordova were then
hurried down on the elevator to the
street where they we're hustled into
cabs, each In cab with an officer and
we're driven rapidly to the Office of
Justice Sedan where the crowd was
again assembled in large numbers.
Cordova was first before the justice
and the warrant made by his wife,
Lizzie Cordova and charging him with
abandoning her and her three children
was read to him. Cordova held his
hat to his eyes to keep fiashlight
picture from being taken but the
prosecutor directed him to let the
picture be taken.
Lawyer Arthur Clark asked Cordova
II he had counsel and on his saying
no, he directed him to hold his hat up.
Rev. J. F. Shaw, of the First Meth
odist church, advised him to let the
picture be taken and held his hat
while 1t was done. On the complaint
being read, Cordova said:
Il have sent my wife at the rate of

and said he need not say anything.
Bail was fixed at $1,000.
Miss Bovine was then brought In
and held in $500 bail as witness

said nothing when before the justice
Cordova looked after a bundle she had
and was very attentive to her. Cor
dova, when asked IL he had counsel
nodding to Lawyer Clark, said:
IF he Is so kind would say yes"
Lawyer Clark took the case and
with Lawyer Frank Bradley will look
after both of them.
From the Justices Office they were
taken to the Jail. Both looked very
thin, and Cordova was very nervous
Miss Bovine was committed by Sheriff
Carman in the womens department
