or bone. as silver and gold trimmed
ones are more In use for the grown
ups. While all the appointments
should be daintinass itself they should
have decided air of simplicity rather
than fusslness. There are so many
things which baby requires. and
there are so many things which are
said that belong to it but which. if
looked at rightly. are Simply foolish
ness on the part of the giver. Wealthy
children are more often burdened with
these elegant accessories, and It seems
that they are not nearly so happy as
the less fortunate ones who have "just
enough"
The toilet basket, the hamper. the
bassinet, stand for the bath. carriage
and dress apparel all should speak OF
careful and refined care. but not of
loudness, which comes very near to
vugarism. Everything about the baby
should be white as far as possible. and
then the most delicate shade OF blue or
pink is all the color that is required
for its outfit. Pillows may @ave a
great deal of hand work attached. but
one can keep it down to such an ex-
tent that it keeps its simplicity. Baby
clothes should be baby clothes, and not
n small reproduction Of mothers even
ing gowns. In fact. the little darling
needs simple carefulness. and it will be
a happy, healthy baby.

Pennsylvania Largest Oak.

Dr. L. s. G.. Bleber Is the owner Of
the largest white oak tree in Pennsyl-
vania. This beautiful specimen of a
tree stands almost in the centre of a
large field in Maxatawny township

town. The circumference of this giant

feet; circumference four feet from the
ground. nineteen feet ten inches: cir

spread of branches tand trunk, IO4
feet; height Of tree (estimated), seven

height as compared with its great
spread of branches might indicate that

IL either stood in an opening before
the white oaks took possession of the
soil or that 1t started since the civilized
settlers cleared the ground. Though
the trunk is hollow and there is an
opening into it on the northern side
near the ground, there appears to be no
reason why this giant oak might not.

Captain Reynolds Asks if
People Of Bemidji Are
Interested.
MASS MEETING CALLED FOR TO.
MORROW AFTERNOON.
By Concerted Action of Citizens
Company Could Be Landed
in This City.

Do the people of Bemidji want
a company of the national guards?
If we do we can have it, but &C.
ton must be taken quickly.
That is the state of affairs re-
garding the appointment Of this
city as the location of a military
company, and all that is neces-
sary to secure the appointment
is concerted action on the part of
the business men.
A mass meeting has been called
by the committee, of which Capt.
Reynolds is chairman, for tomor-
row afternoon at 2:3O o'clock,
and every one interested is ur-
gently requested to be present.
The benefits to be derived from
a military company have I'M
dou btedly been vastly underesti-
mated by the citizens of the city,
and the little interest shown in
the meetings held for the pur-
pose Of organization during the
past week has resulted in dis
couraging the committee to no
small extent. Situated as Be-
midi is in the midst of several
Indian reservations, in case of an
outbreak the company would
prove valuable to protect the
lives and property Of citizens.
At the present time an outbreak
is likely to occur at any moment,
as the policy of the government
in taking away the lands of the
red man for settlement by the
whites has caused a feeling of
deep hatred to be engendered.
In many other ways the COM
pany would be useful to the city.
In the case of fire, an instance
was shown in the blaze at the
Swedback block a little over a
month ago, Hundreds of dollars
worth Of goods carried out from
the stores located in the burning
building was carried away simpy
because guard was not placed
around the goods. A military
company could have prevented
this very easily had it been sta
toned here at the time of the
fire.
Many other good argumentsare
set forth in favor of the location
of company in this city and the
citizens should turn out tomor-
row en- masse.

Woman Being Taken
to Asylum in South Da-
kota Makes Getaway.
ELUDES GUARDS AND TAKES TO
THE WOODS.
Dresses in Middle Of Night Sneaks
from Room at Markham
and Escapes.

"
Josephine Wells, an Indian
woman who was brought from
the agency at Red Lake yester
day by her guards, r. 3. Daniels
and A. G, Goddard, last night
made her espape from her room
at the Markham hotel, and all eff
forts to locate her have been fu-
tile.
The woman is a lunatic and was
being taken from the agency to
an asylum inSouth Dakota, where
it was intended that she should
be confined for treatment. In
company with her guards, she
arrived in the city on the east
bound train yesterday afternoon
and was taken to the Markham
hotel. She seemed to be acting
very we'll Tor a crazy woman and
remained quiet during the entire
afternoon. In the evening a room
was provided for her at the hotel,
the two guards taking room in
another part of the building. She
retired at an early hour and when
the guards last saw her she was
sleeping soundly.
A little after 8 o'clock this
morning noise in the upper
portion of the house aroused the
suspicious of the hotel employees
and upon an examination it was
found that the room occupied by
the lunatic was empty. The
guards were Immediately noti-
fed of the escape and search
was instituted throughout the
city. No clue as to the direction
she had taken was btained, how
ever, until a bartender remem-
bered that he had seen woman
hurrying toward the Great
Northern depot a short time be-
fore, and the guards, accom-
panied by two members Of the
police force, found her footprints
on the track. She was headed
westward. A hack was pressed
into commission and the trail fol-
lowed up. It was found that she
had kept the track for a distance
Of over seven miles and had
passed Wilton. She was evil
IDENTIFY headed for Solway, and
the hack was sent back to this
city, one of the guards continu-
ing the pursuit. AS yet no word
has been received from him, and
the whereabouts of the escaped
lunatic are entirely unknown.

'FAVORS RATE
REDUCTION.
Supt. Strachan Of N. & /.
Will Use His influence
to Aid Farmers.

Superintendent Strachan Of
the Minnesota & international
Railway company was in the city
the other day and was approach,
ed by a prominent business man
Of Bemidji regarding the rates
for transporting cordwood over
the line which are now in effect.
Mr.. Strachan had read the article
published some time ago relative
to the matter and stated that he
was heartily in favor of a reduc-
ton in the rates now charged by
the company and would use his
influence to bring about a change.
He said that he realized the i'm
portance of rate reduction be-
fore all the pine now standing
was cut down, as he knew that a
fire would cause the destruction
of large amount Of the timber
suitable for cordwood and would
without a doubt occur as soon as
the tops left after the pine had
been removed became dry. This
declaration on the part of a rail
way official indicates that the
company does not oppose the re-
duction in rates and it is thought
that if petition signed by those
interested we're presented to the
company the desired result could
be brought about.
