The Argument for Division.

A number of re saons are given by
the promoters Of the division of Mar
shall county why the county seat
should be change to Middle River.
Briefly we will mention that most of
the money expended in the county
ne yer sees the eastern end of the
county at.all, Warren is inaccessible
and far to one end OF the county,
that the present area is too large
and unWieldy. The residents Of Mid
die River are willing to furnish the
county buildings free of cost; the
salaries paid to present deputies will
practically pay the salary OF the regu-
lar officials in the new county and
thus the cost OF maintainance will be
but little or no greater than at pres
ent. Thus, briefly, the situation is
sized up, and to an outsider the rea-
sons appear quite valid. II. r. Press.

CURTIS J. KELLY KILLED
Well Known Warren Young Man
Victim Of Railway Ac.
cident

Two Harbors, Minn., April o.
Curtis J. Kelly, aged % years, brake
man on an ore train on the Duluth
Il Iron Range road, was killed in the
switchyards here Saturday afternoon.
AS a train in charge of Conductor
Lafe Mills was backing up on to No.
3 switch, Kelly jumped off the car,
intending to again board the train
when the head of it in it's backward
movement reached him. In jumping,
however, he lost his footing ana fell
heavily against some cars on the next
switch. He was picked up in an un-
conscious condition and died at S
O'Clock while being. .taken. to the hos
pital. Death was due to fracture of
the skull and internal injuries.
He has been employed by the Du-
luth 4 Iron Range as a brakeman
since March l3, 1905. He was marri-
ed Oct. Is, 1905, to Miss Aurelia
Yanderboom of-.Two Harbors. The
funeral will be held this afternoon -
Duluth Evening Herald.
Mr.. Kelly lived here number of
years and was known as an energetic
and exemplary young man. He was
related to the Lakin family on whose
farm he was employed at times. He
left here nt1mber of years ago, and
was since for time we believe en-
gagged in the real estate business at
Morris, Mimi. Mr.. Kelly was a
member of the Warren Masonic Lodge.
and @. A. Nelson, secretary of the
lodge, received message Monday,
containing the sad news.

DavidsOn's Body Found.

Monday morning shortly before
nine O'Clock body was found in the
river crushed lin among the logs a
little west of Cowing street by river
men who were sorting logs near the
mill. Coroner Chesterman was at
once notified and the budy was taken
to the offices where it was positively
identified as William Davidson who
committed suicide Monday evening,
Feb. rs, of this year.
The suicide theory was accepted
from the first by Mr.. J. D. McPhee,
his son-in-law, and by the majority
of his friends altho some were per-
suaded that he would return to the
city.
Mr.. Davidson had become much
depressed over business troubles and
in the afternoon was seen on the
river northeast of the city standing
at the edge of the hole where the
Crookston Ice Company was doing it's
cutting. MIR. Helstad talked to him
but noticed nothing peculiar in his
actions and when he walked away
forgot the occurrence until he learn
ed OF his disappearance.
Friends who were with Mr. David
son during the evening claim that he
was much as usual and they could
not accept the suicide theory until
they saw the letter which he left and
in which he said that a search for
him Wo aid be usele S.
When the body was found this
morning it was easily identified by
Masonic pin in the tie, his watch
and the clothing. The watch had
stopped at eighteen minutes to ten
and is known as a reliable time piece
so it is thought that he ended his
life at about that time altho friends
claimed to have been with him until
ten thirty Monday night.
The funeral will be neld tomorrow
afternoon at Euclid and he will be
given the Masonic burial. Many of
the Masons f-om this city will go up
on the morning train with the rela-
tives for the service.

The Binding Twine Situation.

Ihere 'e seems to be much trepida.
tlons S among the people of the state
regarding the intention of the Har.
Vesuer trust to start the manufacture
OF lax twine in competition with
the 2UWlne plant at the state peni.
tentlary. The trust has control OF
the patents for the making of the
f1ax.tWine SO the state can not hope
TO meet them in that field for lack
OF the proper machinery
TQ our mind there is no need OF
worrying over the matter for some
time e! yet, as the fax twine has not
proven itself rousing success so far.
II fresh twine can be procured it
seems to do well enough, but stock
that has been carried over one season
seems to be unreliable, at least that
was the experience last year. Until
some process is invented which
makes f it possible to carry over unsold
stock without deterioration the flax
twlne will not become a competitor
Withthe Saltwater product.
Another point is that if any con-
siderable quantity of fax twine is
used it Will reduce the demand fo1
s1sal and MANILA and when these be-
come cheaper the prison twine will
become cheaper, also, as the prison
plant does not take advantage OF
cheaper raw material to increase the
profits of the plant.
1t will pay to keep the plant at
Saltwater as "a club to swing ove1
the heads of the combine even if it
takes an appropriation to keep it up.

The Commercial Club.

The Commercial Club held a we'll
attended meeting in their rooms in
the First National Bank block last
Friday evening. Several important
topics were discussed, among the
more Important ones being the mat
tiers OF the coming 6remen's tourna-
ment, street improvement, and an
effort to increase the membership of
the club. The sentiment of the meet
ing seemed to favor the expenditure
OF every effort towards making the
tournament a success. The fremen
are doing everything possible within
their power and the commercial club
is going to back them up and extend
aid n--every way to them. The chair
man, Judge Grindeland, was author
lied to appoint committee to act
with a committee from the fire de-
partment.
While the membership of the club
is about as large in proportion to the
size of.the town as is found in any
other city it was decided to make a
canvas of the town in an effort to in
terest every business man in the
work of the club and induce them to
join, as it will.place them in a better
position to help in the work the club
has to do. This city has one of the
most successful commercial clubs in
the state and everyone interested in
the town should make it matter of
pride and duty to belong to it. Many
hands make light work. There is
lots of work for the club to do.
The matter of improving the city
for the coming festivities was brought
up and the building of new sidewalks
and the repairing OF old ones took first
place in the discussion. The chair
called attention to the fact that every
lot owner is responsible for damages
caused by detective sidewalks along
their property. This will cause some
to sit up and listen. II person is
tripped by loose board IN a sidewalk
and is thrown down and injured by
it. he can sue the property owner fol
damages. 1t will be well for those
who have sidewalks with broken
| boards. or rotten ratings, or disjoint-
ed sections, to look after the repairs
on them Immediately. II they don't
the council may look the matter up
and do it for them; then they will
have to pay more for it.
Mayor. Lundgren thought it would
be hardship on many to order a lot
of new sidewalks built as the present
price of lumber is very high. The
council has seen the desirability OF
extending and rebuilding many walks
but felt that they were imposing a
burden that many lot owners could
hardly afford to stand if they should
order the work done. That brought
on discussion regarding the present
prices of lumber in this city. 1t was
stated that farmers passed through
this place ON their way to other vii
lagos to buy their lumbar. The
statement could hardly be credited,
but it was made apparent that such
was the fact. The club digested the
news for a short time and then decid-
ed tnat it would be fair to appoint a
committee to see the. local lumber
men and try to secure a concession
in the price OF sidewalk lumber in
order that the building of walks
might be continued.

HOW TO EAT CORRECTLY.
Horace Fletcher's Rules for Perfect
Feeding of the Human Body.

In an article on the Growth OF
! Fletcherism' in the Worlds Work
Isaac F. Marcosson gives Horace
Fietcher's following rules for eating
which are given to all patients of the
Harvard Dental School Dyspensary:
% Eat only in response to an dc-
tual appetite. which will be satisfied
With plain bread and butter.
90 Chew all solid food until it is
liquid and practically swallows it.
self
t3) Sip and taste all liquids that
have taste such as soup and lemon
ade. Water has no taste and can be
swallowed Immediately.
"a Never take food while angry
or worried, and only when calm.
Waiting for the mood in connection
with the appetite is speedy cure
for both anger and worry
t5) Remember and practice these
four rules and your teeth and health
will be fine
Equally significant of the growth
of Fletcherism are the efforts made
by the proprietor of chain of fifty
dairy restaurants in New York and
elsewhere 1t consists of the distri-
button of nicely printed folder
among the customers, containing a
"d.etetic code" 1t includes instruc-
tons on How To Eat" Some OF
them are, Eat slowly and masticate
thoroughly" Never permit yourself
to eat meal in a condition OF nerv-
Gus worry" Eat what you find Of
benefit" DO not eat anything that
disagrees with you" Commenting on
the last rule the folder says:
The following out of this rule will
require self-denial, but some time in
your life you must definitely decide
whether you are to be master over
your body or be its slave, and it is
better to make the decision at once,
and after you have practised correct
habits of eating for a short time it
will be surprising how soon your true
appetite for things that are whole
some and good will assert itself, and
you will instinctively turn to the
right foods.
