Death Of W. B. Woed.
Grand Forks Herald: Stricke1

Grand Forks Herald: Stricken
with an apoplectic stroke at 8:3(
yesterday morning, W. B. Wood
one of Grand Forks, mos
esteemed citizens, and a member
of the firm of Bacon & Wood
proprietors of the Hotel Dacotab
passed away at 6 o'clock in the
afternoon without regainine
consciousness. The sudder
death will cast a gloon not only
over the city, but throughout the
surrounding country and. the
state as we'll FOR few Of cul
citizens enjoyed wider acquaint
ance or a larger circle of friends,
Mr.. Wood suffered a slight
stroke of paralysis last summer,
but had apparently nearly re-
gained his wonted health. A
little more than two weeks age,
soon after his return from a
hunting trip to the western part
of the state, he suffered a severe
attack of indigestion accom-
panied by brain trouble, which
confined him to his room most o1
the time since.
Some of the symptoms caused
his physician and family un
easiness, but his condition slowly
improved, and Monday evening
DR.. Engstad thought he could
pronounce him out of danger
Yesterday morning, on awaken
ing, he remarked that he never
felt better. A half hour later
however, he complained of {
severe headache, and at $50 ht
became unconscious. remaining
practically in a state of coms
during the day, never regainine
consciousness until the enc
came.
Mr.. Wood was 48 years old.

fire to the Markham hotel, where
arrangements had been made to
attend to such emergencies.
He was about to turn over the
key of the city and with it he
would impart the secrets and
legends of the city that went
with the key. The key bore the
name "Bemidji" across it's entire
length. These secrets referred
to had never before been d.
vulged. The bar or shank of the
Key represented the strong ack-
bone of former mayors. The
clear-cut line beneath repre-
sented the straightforwardness
of the present city council. The
upright or active portion indicat
ed the people standing erect,
ever ready to welcome an order
such as the Elks.
There were two words some
times used as they would use a
password. They were derived
from the ancient Greek, and
after careful translation were
''He1lo, Bilf..' These words
were the sentiment of everybody
in Bemidji. There was also a
grip. This grip was usually
given by the chief of police.
There were occasions when there
was objection to the use of the
grip. The mayor had given
particular orders to the chief
not to hand out this ''grip" while
the "bunch" was in the city.

was produced with the idea OF
giving the public something new,
and how we'll he has succeeded is
evident to all. One of the many

It was a strenuous twenty
four hours for the cash register.

The key should always be car
ried in the rigLt.hand YES
pocket, the active part extending
outward. The mayor desired
the visitors to tske the key, ard

The "ROte of the Waves"

It is favorite theory with the fish
Ing and seafaring people on the north
east of Scotland that in storm three
waves are strong and violent, while
the fourth is comparatively weak and
less dangerous. This succession they
call ''rote of waves" Fishermen re-
turning from their fishing ground often
prove by experience the truth Of their
theory and hang back as they come
near the shore to take advantage of
the lull that follows, say, pretty reg.
ularly after three big breakers.

Happiness In Marriare

It all comes around to one Of two
things. With all married couples who
differ in habit, in taste, in opinion, in
mode Of life, If there is to be any hap
piness somebody has to learn to give
up or give up minding that there is a
difference. Either way is as good rs
the other. 1t Is surprising how many
things are not Of any importance If
