The Red EIowIing Monkey.

The red bowler Mycetes seniculus)
is rare monkey Of the forests of
tropical America. It is an extremely
delicate animal and is chiefly remark
able for the extraordinary noises it
makes. The cries it utters comprise al
most any sound from a subdued moan
10 an angry roar, and it is hardly con-
ceivable that they should proceed from
a. single animal. This is the animal
called red monkey by Waterton in his
"Wanderings In South America" where
an admirable description Of its weird
cries may be read. These sounds are
produced in bony cavity formed by
an enlargement Of the hyoid, or tongue
bone. In appearance the red bowler is
an elegant little creature, we'll clothed
with hair Of reddish brown color.
Like the spider monkeys, it is provided
with long, prehensile tail, the under
surface Of which Is naked toward the
tip, but it differs from those monkeys
in having well developed thumbs

THINKS c
WILL NOT DIVIDE
County Commissioner Tone Of
Northome Explains Itasca
County Situation.

There is very little prospect Of
a division Of Itasca county with
the establishing Of International
Falls as a new county seat, if
Aad A. Tone, county commits
sloner Of Itasca county and a
leading attorney of Northome,
has sized upthe situation correct
~.
Mr.. Tone was in Bemidji yes.
terday afternoon on his way
home from Grand Rapids, where
he had been attending a term Of
district court, and explained the
division fight at length to the
Pioneer.
''The Itasca situation might be
summarized by saying that there
are too many towns wanting the
county seat to allow the Inter
national Falls plan of division to
carry at the polls this fall, !" said
Mr.. Tone.
"Division is sure to come some
day, for we have a county nearly
the size of the state of Massa-
chusetts and with wonderful re
sources, and it is only question
of time when it will be settled
tbickly, but the time is not ripe
yet. Moreover, international
Falls is at the extreme end of the
county and there are a mum Der
Of thriving villages scattered over
the vast area which are all am.
bilious. For instance, there is
Big Fork and Little Fork, Deer
River and Northome, All these
villages will vote against the
proposition.
''The northern part Of the
county near International Falls
will vote for separation, and a
mum Der of votes will probably be
cast for it in Grand Rapids. but
I look to see the proposition de
feated."

The FIRST Man Dre.smaker.

Ine H1FSI MAN DreSSm0kcr.
The first male celebrity who made
his mark as a dressmaker was Rhom.
berg, the son Of a Bavarian peasant
from the neighborhood of Munich. One
day in the month Of May, 1870, a beau
tiful equipage was seen driving about
Paris with an escutcheon In the shape
Of q corset and an open pair of scissors
in the middle painted on the panel OF
each door. That was Rhomberg's coat
of arms, and 1t told it's own tale. He
was a genius in his way and owed his
success chiefly to his skill In disguis-
ing slight deformities and bringing out
the most attractive charms of his fair
customers. He rapidly made fortune
and left his heirs an annual income of
10000 francs. Under the first empire
and the restoration Leroy supplied the
dresses of the ladies of the court and
the higher nobility from his splendid
mansion in the Rue Richelieu. An eff
fusive encomium was written upon
him by Anger, a member Of .ne acad.

The Tailor BIRD.

The brilliantly plumed birds Of the
tropical forests are exposed to many
dangers, and If they were not gifted
with peculiar yet useful Instincts they
would fall ready victims to their enc.
mics. Chattering monkeys and big
snakes steal and eat their eggs, while
their offspring are preyed upon by foes
on every side. But it takes a sly mon
key or snake to get ahead of the tailor
bird, small East Indian singing bird.
She hides her nest so skillfully that her
enemies cannot find it, no matter how
hard they try. This she does by using
her long, slender bill as needle. With
the tough fiber Of a parasitic plant
abundant in the tropics, as a thread
she sews a dead leaf taken from the
end of slender and hanging branch,
and between these leaves she builds
her nests, where neither monkey nor
snake can approach, because the
branch will not bear it's weight.

Business and Professional Men
to Discuss Re organization
of Commercial Club.
AROUSING MEETING AND
LARGE CROWD ARE ASSURED
Idea Is to Get an Organization
to Take Hold and Boost
Bemidji.

An effort to re-organize the
Commercial club of this city is
under way. Tonight there is to
be a meeting of Bemidj business
and professional men in the city
hall at 8 o'clock to discuss the
situation and formulat plans,
and it looks much as though the
reorganization would be effected.
George Markham has been
busy for the last two or three
days circulating a paper which
pledges the signers to attend the
meeting tonight, and from the
list of names it would appear that
the movement is meeting with
warm favor.
The meeting will be attended,,
however, by many who did not
sign the paper. A large number
whom IL was desired TO reach
were not to be found when Mr..
Markham called, and the promot-
ers wish it understood that a
general Invitation is extended to
all taking an interest in civic
affairs to come to the gathering.
The plan Of reorganization
contemplates the esta blishing of
a club which will take an active
and initiative part Il developing
the city; in advertising the town,
attracting residents this way and
bringing in new industries.

a Miniature Inland ocean.

One Of the queerest sheets of water
in New England OF within the limits of
the United States, or the world for
that matter, is the celebrated Shows
ocean" in the state Of Maine. When
calm it is to all appearances an ordinary
pond Of no great dimensions, but OBJ
servations and Investigations made
more than a century ago prove that the
little body of water is a veritable
ocean. It is located in Orrington, near
Bangor, and its popularity is that, al
though situated among some high hills
some distance from ocean or river, it
has tides which rise and fall as regular
~ as do those Of the great Atlantic.
Many so called scientific examinations
Of this miniature oceans bed and sur
rounding banks have been made, but
so far no tenable explanation Of the
phenomenon has ever been given to the
public.

Der in the hope of regaining health.
However, when he returned he was
still weak and, under the advice of
his physician, his part of the inau-
guration ceremonies was gone through
with the utmost care.

yer, state legislator. member of con
gress and governor of Ohio, was
native of ClermDnt county. 0. Born

come here to play. However, all
this is over with now and every.
body is anxiously awaiting the

The locals are busy every day
practicing and have been greatly
strengthened by the addition of
Farley LeGore, the hard hitting
