CLAIMS IT'S A
TRY TO HOLD
Up CHARTER
City Attorney Russell Advises Village
Council That It Cannot appoint
Ward Election Judges.

The action Of City Attorney
Russell in advising the council
that it does not have the power
to appoint election Judges for the
four wards of the city has ex-
cited general interest in the city.
today. It is claimed by, those in
favor Of the city organization that
this is an attempt to Illustrate
the will of the people in adopting
the charter.
AT the meeting the matter Of
appointing judges for the differ.
|ent wards provided for in the
charter was taken up, but before
any action had been taken City
Attorney Russell advised the
members OF, the council that they
had no authority to appoint,
Judges for all four wards, and
that the only action they could
take was to appoint judges for
the two wards of the village. The
'council followed the advice Of the
city attorney and appointed the
following: First ward, J. H.
French, M. Phibbs; second ward,
John Washburn, James E. Ca
hill.
The two wards of the village
are divided by Minnesota avenue,
all that portion of the city lying
east Of the avenue being first,
ward and all that portion west.
being the second ward. The
wards provided for in the city
charter are four in mum Der, and
the boundaries of these are vast.
ly different from those of the,
village wards.
Mr.. Russell stated to the Pio-
neer this morning that he could
see no way in which the election
could be held on Nov. z, as pro
vided by the charter. sIn the
first place, said Mr.. Russell,
1.-THE law provides that city cleo
tions shall be carried on under.
the general primary and general
election laws, and that the ballot
ing shall be by the Australians
system. The charter provides
that city elections in Bemidj j are
to be held under the old law and
goes diametrically against the
state law. The only manner in
which I see that the matter can
be cleared up is to hold a special
election for the purpose Of
amending the charter SO as to-
take away this provision of the
charter
The Other Side.
The advocates of the charter
declares that the city attorneys
opinion has nothing whatever to-
stand on. They point out that,
the charter provides in section 6
Of chapter 2 that all elections
shall be governed by the general
election laws of the state, $50 far
as they may be applicable, and
the same section further pro-
vides that that election set for
November z shall be called, con-
Quoted and canvassed by the
village council.
The general election laws pro-
vide (section - that every ward
of each Incorporated city shall
form at least one a. election dis
trict,' thus making it obligatory
upon the village council to ap-
point election judges for each
ward Of the city.

No new discovery has attracted more attention
in the scientific world than that made by X; Leo
Minges, of Rochester, n. Y. Mr.. Mlnges Is to
short men and what the great wizard,
Edison, is to electricity. He has gathered more
information relative to bone muscle and slnew than
anyone else in existence. Making people grow tall
has been hobby with Mr.. Minges for years, and
the results he has accomplished are startling to a
high degree. By his method every man or woman
not over fifty years of age be made to grow
from two to five inches in height, and anyone
older than that may increase his height percepubly.
His method has the Endorsement of Leading physl-
Clans and several prominent educational lnst!tu.
tions have adopted it for the better physical
development of their pupils. If you would like to
increase your height you should read the book
which tells how this remarkable discovery was
free You are not asked to spend a single cent,
of hundreds who have grown from two to five
inches in height by following this method. The
results are quickly accomplished. Many have
grown as much as three inches in two months.
There is no inconvenience, drugs, or medicines,
no operation. Merely the application of a scIen-
ifc principle in perfectly hyglenlc and harmless
way Your most intimate friends need not know

His Subjects View
of the CzaT
By Warwick James Prl' e

XTTHEN Archbishop Trench was writing
w his classic work on the study of
words, he elaborated this statement:
when YOU would find true signs of a
change of heart in any country look
among the figures of speech of the lower
classes
By which criterion a present-day
French scholar, after delving among
the proverbs and sayings of the Russian
muzhik. is producing evidence that the
one-time serf no longer looks upon his
Gar as God-appointed and infallible,
of other clay than he himself, indeed ;
for where he once told his children that
when the Little Father spits into a
dish it breaks in pieces through very
pride" he now saws, The crown does
not protect the Cars head from head
ache" the whole broad change from
the Russia of 1860 to the Russia OF 1905
is there summed up.
Once the peasantry believed that their
ruler was very brother to God himself,
that Even covered with bOlls, our Gar
would know not i'll health; that The
Gar. riding behind a tired horse, changes
each dragging step to a league" that The
Cars voice has an echo, though no noun
tains NAV be near" But the days of
these lova1 superstitiOns are past and
gone. The proverbs of the peasantry
of to-day ring with Other truths, as II,
ten wears ago, when these sayings frst
began to appear in the current speech
of the poor, there were cryptic prophecies
of a peoples congress to mark the death
of autOCracy.
Besides the one already quoted, the
French writer gives eight such sayings
as follows:
Even the lungs of the Gar cannot blow out
The Cars back, too, would bleed If 1t
were gnashed with the knout
The Cars arm is long, but 1t cannot reach
The Cars vinegar makes nothing the
The hand of a Gar has but five fingers
It IS no more difficult for Death to carry
fat Gar than a lean beggar
What the Car cannot accomplish, lime
does easily .1,o
Even the Cars COW cannot bring 10 the
world anything but a calf

EARLY Rising.

It Is said to be natural-that is, phys
iological-to rise early and enjoy the
beauties Of the sunrise. If we ask
why, we are treated to various trans
cendental theories about the vivifying
influence of the sun and are told to
take example by the birds of the air
and the beasts of the field or so many
Of them as are not nocturnal in their
habits. But, as a matter Of fact physi-
ology, so far as it has anything to say
On the subject at all, Is all against the
early rising theory. Physiological ex-
pertinent appears to show that man
does not work best and fastest in the
early morning hours, but on the con-
trary, about midday The desire to
rise early, except in those trained from
youth to outdoor pursuits, is commonly
a sign, not OF strength OF character
and vigor of body, but Of advancing
age. Thus paterfamiiias, who goes to
bed at IL p. M, wants to get up at
or 6 a. m. and looks upon his healthy
son who lies till as a sluggard. When
this foolish Interpretation of proverb
about the health and wealth to be got
from early rising is combined with the
still more foolish adage which says of
sleep, "Six hours for a man, seven for
woman and eight for a fool" then
we have a vicious system capable Of
working great mischief to young peo-
pie of both sexes.-British Medical
Journal.

Social Events.
L. or. M. Contest Closes.

A unique contest was brought
to close at a banquet held in the
Maccabee hall last Thursday
evening. Some time ago the
mem bers of the Lady Maccabee
Lodge resolved to increase their
Mem bership. To make a thor
ough aud systematic canvass for
new mem bers the lodge devided
itself into two squads of equal
numbers. Mrs. Gilbert Olson
being the leader of one and Mrs.
E. G. Stevens of uhe other. Dur
ing a period Of thirty days the
two leaders with the help Of the
mem bers of their division were
to get new mem bers, at the end
of this period the side having the
smallestnumbe of new mem bers
to report were to give banquet
to the entire membership. The
canvass has been spirited and in
teresting. The end of the con-
test came last Thursday, Mrs.
Gilbert Olson being the victor,
having secured sixteen new
mem bers, and Mrs. Stevens
fourteen.
The banquet was an enjoyable
affair and largely attended by the
mem bers of the order.

WOMAN STEEPLEJACk.
Mrs. Corbett Mounts High Flagstaff
and DexterOusIy Yields Brush.

Mrs. COrbett Mounts High Flagstaff
and Dexterously Wields Brush.
Mrs. Charles j. Corbett, who claims
to be the only female steeplejack in
he world, awed pedestrians on State
street, Trenton, n. j., recently by as
ending Flagstaff rising from the roof
II the Broad Street bank building to a
height Of 12O Feet, says the New York
American. She appeared mere speck
in the air, and men and women held
their breath as she swayed in the high
wind that swept the city.
Mrs. COrbett has been engaged with
her husband in this city at painting the
gas tank Of the Public Service corpora
ton. For two weeks she has gone to
her work daily sitting in a saddle
rugged by her husband and dextrously
welding brush. The woman is only
twenty three years old and since her
marriage to Corbett three years ago
has been his colaborer, going fearlessly
to the top Of the highest fagstaffs. She
Is woman Of education and dresses
stylishly and with good taste while on
the street. When at work she wears
boomers. Her skin Is Drowned by the
sun and wind, and she Is a picture of
health.
Mrs. Corbett was born In Clayton,
Mass. She says she has always been
fond of adventure and in her childhood
shocked her acquaintances by doing
stunts In the topmost branches Of the
highest trees and on the ridge poles of
buildings. She met her husband, pro-
fessional steeplejack, while he was
painting spire Of a church In Clayton
and prevailed on him to send her up to
the top Of the steeple. The townspeople
were amazed at the feat but Mrs. Cor
bett said she felt as much ut home at
the top Of the steeple as she did on the
ground. The acquaintance that began
In the shadow Of the little church in
Clayton ripened into love, and three
years ago Miss Urbons became Mrs.
Corbett.
