It Pays.

F .
We CLIP the following iron the
Detroit Register to show what a
city may accomplish under pro
per organization, Detroit having
about a year ago adopted city
charter, similar to that now pro-
posed for Bemidji:
Very substantial evidence
of the good work that is be-
ing done for the city under
the new charter was furnish
ed on July 18th when the
treasury paid, at maturity, a
refunding bond of $4,000 and
outstanding orders which
were registered and draw
ing interest, to the AMOUNT
of $1788. %. This is, we be
lieve, the first bond, and GER
tainly the first for so large a
sum, that has ever been tax
en- up except by the method
of issuing a new bond to take
up an old one, and generally
for a larger amount. Next
year a $4,000 bond will fall
due, and it is expected that it
will be paid promptly. at that
time. We appear to be get
ting down to business in our
city affairs.
Every citizen Of Bemidji knows
that we need city organization.
The charter form of city organ
ization gives home rule. that is,
allows us to change our organic
law to meet the changing condi-
tions which confront every grow
ing community. No other form
of city organization will do this.
The charter commission has
been revising it's draft Of a char
ter and propose to submit the
charter once more to the people
OF this city. We do not know
what may be the provisions of
this new charter but the general
character of the document will
undoubtedly be laid before the
people of the city before they
are asked to vote upon it. But
we have confidence in the men
who compose the mission to
believe that the proposed charter
is designed to give Bemidji the
best possible form of city organ.

New York, Aug. 8.-As a result Of
a battle between the big Chinese So

msa s.eoss,y fatslly Shot at wibaox.

Glendive Independent: Homer Porter
was brought to Glendive and lodged in
the county Jail as result of shooting
scrape that occurred at Wibaux Sunday
night. 1t seems that row had been
caused overa red light belle between
Porter. and William Reeves, better
known az "Deadwood Dick" and that
Porter, who was unarmed at the time, re-
turned uptown and secured 45.calibre
Colts revolver and returned to the scene
With the intention of soaring Reeves in
to an apology, In this he did not seem
to succeed and Reeves ran through
hallway, closely followed by Joe Schedik
who was taking in the adventure. In
some manner, SO it is claimed by Porter,
the gun was discharged, the bullet strik-
ing Schedik in the left breast and rang
ing downward, lodging near the back
bone. Porter. after shooting, tried to
escape on horseback, but was intercept
ed by Deputy Sheriff George Wynn and
arrested.

EAR OF DlONYSIUS.
One of the Famous Whispering Places
of the World.

One of the Famous Whispering Places
of the World.
Among the notable whispering places
Of the world is the "Ear of Diony-
sius" of ancient Syracuse. It is in
the shape Of parabolic curve, ending
in an elliptlcal arch, with sides par
allel to its axis, perfectly smooth and
covered with a slight stalactitic incrus-
tation that renders its repercussions
amazingly sonorous. 1t is "a feet high,
from II to 80 in breadth and 1877 deep.
1t has an awful and gloomy appear
ance, which, with its singular shape,
perhaps gave rise to the popular and
amusing paradox that Dionysius had it
constructed for the confinement Of
those whom he deemed inimical to bis
authority and that from the little
apartment above he could hear all the
conversation among the captives who
were brought to the ancient town of
Syracuse in the time of its splendor,
when 1t was the largest in Sicily. The
sound Of words uttered with q low
voice Is augmented in vaults or gal
leries so as to become audible at a con-
siderable distance from the speaker.
A like effect takes place in less de-
gree when sound ascends from the bot
tom of deep we'll or when words are
uttered at one extremity of long cor
ridor or passage in a building. If a
pin be dropped into we'll the sound
produced when it strikes the water Is
distinctly heard at the mouth or the
sounds of words spoken near the sur
face Of any we'll is similarly augment
ed. Try it-New Orleans Times Demo-

A FAMOUS STAR GROUP.
The Constellation Orion In Legend
and Literature.

and Literature.
The constellation Orion is mentioned
In the literature Of all ages. In Egypt
1t represented Horus, the young or ris.
ing sun, In boat surmounted by stars,
closely followed by Sirius, which was
shown as COW. It has also been
found sculptured on the walls of
Thebes 5000 years ago. And on the
men Of that early time it shone down
from the same position and with the
same brightness as it does on us today,
striking example Of the unchange-
ableness Of the heavens.
From the days of the early Hindoos
to the present the constellation has for
some reason borne always a stormy
character. Allusions to its direful influ-
ence are found everywhere among the
classic writer's. Thus Milton wrote:
When with fierce winds Orion arrived
Hath vexed the Red sea coast.
The loss Of the Roman squadron In
the first Punic war was ascribed to the
fleets having sailed Just after the ris-
Ing Of Orion. The group has also been
employed as calendar sign, it's morn
ing rising indicating the beginning Of
summer, its midnight rising the season
OF grape gathering and Its early even
Ing rising the arrival Of winter. with
It's attendant storms. In recent times
the group has always represented a
great hunter or warrior. Its present
title came into Greek astronomy from
the Euphrates and originally signifed
the light Of heaven.

RIOTING IN CHICAGO
STRIKE sYMPATHIzERs AND NON.
UNION MEN INDULGE IN
BLOODY FIGHTS.

Chicago, May 2.-Rioting and blood.
shed in all parts of the city. resulting
in the death Of one man and the in
jury Of scores of others, marked the
progress Of the teamsters' strike to-
day. While the strike did not spread
to any new establishments the mobs
seemed to throw all restraint to the
winds and attacks were made on non
union drivers with a recklessness that
stunned the police.
One man was clubbed almost to
death within square of police head
quarters. Four miles away men were
shot down in the streets. At hundred
places between these two extremes Of
distance there were assaults and fights
in the streets. Blood was shed In
State street, in the heart of the fash
ionable shopping district, and furious
riots took place almost In the door
ways of the leading hotels of Chicago.
Nonunion men were pelted with
stones, bricks and almost every other
conceivable sort of missiles. They
were dragged from their wagons,
beaten: clubbed and stamped upon.
The mobs followed the wagons on
which they rode and but for the splen-
did service rendered by the police
force the list of dead would be twenty
instead of one.
In return the nonunion men, though
hopelessly outnumbered in every con.
flict, fought desperately. In several
instances they drew their revolyers
and emptied them into the crowds that
pressed around their wagons. pelting
them with stones and threatening their
lives. The colored drivers, especially,
were quick with their weapons.

fred wsssr ssd Fred Kyarsssard Ac-
quitted by Medora Justice.

Glendive Review: The preliminary
hearing of Engineer Fred Wager and
Fred Kyarsgaard, indicted for man
slaughter in connection with the fatal
wreck at Medora recently, was held at
Medora April2I. The case was dismissed
by Justice Geo. Meyers on the grounds
that there was no evidence upon
which to hold Mr.. Wager. Nothing was
adduced to show that MIR. Wager was in
the slightest degree responsible for the
loss OF life incident to the accident.
The evidence clearly showed that En-
gineer Wager Of the oncoming train had
his train under control. Although the
presence of the stock train was not
known to him until he was within a dis
tance Of five Car lengths of the caboose,
no damage was caused to the rest of the
train. The conductor of the stock train
testified that no jarring was felt by him
at distance Of seven cars ahead OF the
caboose. Had the accident occurred any
other place than on the bridge the DAM
age would have been slight and prob
ably not attended with such loss of life.
The place where the wreck occurred
and the location of certain buildings
made it impossible to see the caboose of
the stock train until within such a dis
tance that stopping would have been an
impossibility.
On the day following the wreck there
appeared an article in the St. Paul Dis.
patch wherein it was stated that the
train crews were grossly ignorant and
incompetent, or words of like libelous
character. Mr.. Wager has an excellent
record and is considered by all who
know him to be careful and compe-
tent man. He is justly indignant at the
false impression such an article would
tend to create. No one regrets more
than does Mr.. Wager the deplorable re-
suit OF this accident, and contrary to the
statement in the dispatch, he and his
fireman did all that could be done under
the circumstances to relieve the injured
