Northern Pacific Has Three Accidents
] III one nay. ~ HI n ;ssEE5i

Yesterday was one Of the red let
ter days for bad luck on the N. IL.
railroad. No. q the north bound sp1as-
Sse9ger was thrown OF tlis track
twice within four hours yesterday.
The first time it went on was tsIt
Melvin = small station between Fer.
tile and CrO0kston and after the
train WAS riHhted on the track IL
backed up to Fertile add there switch
ed onto the Red Lake Fails branch.
When coming at full speed to- make
up time 1t again went on near dug
dale a small station Oh that branch.
Number 8 the east bound ssenKer
also jumped the track at Cashei !. .
small station on the north branch.
The cause Of the three accidents wa
the water resulting from Mondays
thaw running into the creAses be-
tween the rails and freezing solid.
The trains coming ct full speed and
striking this Ice naturally threw the
engines OF the track and some 81 the
cars followed. However, No. II ran
only one hour late this morning, that
train being thes first that has been
run north on the N. r.. since Monday
morning. About fifty mail sacks ana
pouches were loaded oltO-N a this
morning, being the surpllls Tor three
days. "A double header was sent d

On Friday evening. following the
close OF the convention, the state en-
balming board will hold an .examina-
ton for the benefit of those who desire
to take 1t. 8
First of all he condemned display
at funerals. Conspicuous among the
things which became mere COMPETE,
tive display, was that of floral offer
ings. People sometimes wanted the
flowers arranged SO that they could
all be seen by everybody and to make
as large showing as possible; Mr..
Burleson characterized this as display,
and vulgar display at that" One
family had many friends and had
more flowers than they knew what to
do with. The next family to be be-
reaved were poor and unknown and
had no flowers.
A Vulgar Curiosity.
In the second place he condemned
in unequivocal terms the custom of
opening caskets in the church. 1t
should not be opened there for several
reasons. First among them being the
distracting nature OF the display on
the mourners and the congregation.
People assembled at funerals not to
think OF the mortal clay but the spirit
and the showing of the remains sim
ply tended to keep the minds OF the
people on the earthly body. Again it
pampered to vulgar and idle curios-
ity. Many people, mere strangers or
acquaintances, came to gaze at the re-
mains. Sometimes the people were
full of curiosity to see how the corpse
was dressed. Mr.. Burleson told of
one lady whom he say leaning over the
casket and styling feeling of the cloth
of which the shroud was made to see
of what material it was and how much
1t cost
The place to hold a funeral is not
in the residence but in the church. 1t
is impossible to get the same atmos-
phere of comfort and solemnity in
house that 1t is in a church. The fun
eral should be held in the church and
the remains viewed by the near friends
and relatives at tn" house, or II the
public desired they could be exposed
In the church for few hours pre-
ceding the services, but never during
or after the services.
Sunday Funerals Condemned.
Mr.. BurlesOn condemned Sunday
funerals as being usually prompted by
the spirit of display, as a Sunday
funeral is always we'll attended 1t
was wrong on this account and also
because it involved so much Sunday
labor. The director, the church sex
ton, the florist, the deliveryman, liv-
eryman, ETC., were compelled to work
all day. But above all the preacher
had no time for funerals on Sunday
and unless 1t was case of necessity
1t was unwise and poor taste to ask
him to conduct funeral on that day.
Again, the undertaken, like the min
lister, could only do his best work by
keeping himself in the background.
The undertaken who is unduly con-
spicuous is unprofessional

ties. The study of better methods of
work and mutual understanding,
would he of estimable benefit to the
organization.
While the mayor did not presume
to give the directors any advice as to
how funerals should be run, he had
noticed while in Ohio that the graves
there did not sink down and leave a
hollow place as they do here after a
few months. 1t was prevented by the
use of concrete vault in which the
casket rested. He hoped some such
innovation might be made in North
Dakota.
He heartily welcomed the delegates
to the city and said that if they
wanted to come here next year they
would be welcome. If they could not
come next year, come when they
could and they would find the latch
string out-cOnventions are always
welcome in the city.
Mr.. McDOnnld's Response.
President Mcdonald said that while
it was hardly appropriate for him
to respond to an address of welcome,
being citizen of Grand Forks, neces-
sity and the failure of man to
reach the city, had forced him to as
sumo the duty. He knew he was well
come here but if he was not he in
tended to stay anyhow. He thanked
the mayor for his words of welcome
an dassured him that the purpose of
the organization was largely educa-
tional and that they were constantly
studying new methods and better
ways of conducting funerals and that

Wants the ChHdrsnl.

Crookston Times: This morning
arguments were made before Judge
Watts In connection with the case Of
Robert Purvis vs. Mrs. F. Tiedt, ST..
Of Argyle, the action having been
brought several months ago BY the
plaintiff to secure the custody Of the
Purvis children by his first wife. They
have been In the custody OF their
grandmother ever since Mrs Purvis
died, and relatives Of the mother con-
tend that this was the wish of the de-
ceased and that the father should not
be given the custody Of them for varf-
GUS reasons. No order was made In
the case and 1t may be some time be-
fore anything definite is done.

Freshmen Sleighride.

The freshman class had sleigh
ride last Monday evening, which gives
promise of being long remembered,
especially by those who took part
There were about sixty in the party,
all freshmen and their pals" 1t took
four rigs to carry them. While going
down Third street they were attacked
by some sOphOmores and law students
who demanded freshmen hostages as
conditions of peace. This the latter
would not willingly grant; and live
ly time followed. Nobody was serious
ly hurt. there being no bloodshed on
either side. 1t is not yet determined
who the victorious ones are. The
flaws" claim to be. They captured
Lynn Sarles, took him to the law
school, where he was tried in mock
court, on the charge of having daubed
the university buildings with red
paint. The verdict of the court was
guilty as charged" The culprit was
sentenced according to law.

This morning at 10 o'clock, Don

North Dakota Funeral Directors as
sociation, called the annual conven-
ton to order in the l. o. o. f. build
ing in Grand Forks. The Rev. ]. M.
Beadles of the First Methodist church
offered the invocation and Mayor Geo.

Mr.. Duis said that he had welcomed
all sorts of conventions to the city
since his incumbency as mayor but
never the funeral directors. He con-
graduated them on their organization
and expressed belief in all kinds
of trade and professional organiza-
tions. While he was not distributing
any free bouquets, he believed that

A Psreseeins Business Man.

, F. p. Mann, junior member of the
firm Of Mann & Son, merchants Of
Devils Lake, stopped in the city today
on his return from Valley City, where
he attended a meeting of the board of
directors of the North Dakota Mutual
Fire Insurance company. Mr.. Mann is
one of the far-seeing business men, of
his town, and no worthy enterprise is
proposed that he is not ready to help.
"A few years ago he was one of the
leaders in a fight to have the city build
a bridge across a point in the lake
south of the city, so that the reserva-
ton would be put in direct commune
cation with the city. He with his Co
workers saw that the reservation
would soon be opened for settlement
and that If there was no bridge across
the lake, the city would derive no ben
eft from the trade. The city had a
few knockers and they took the mat
ter into court, and won temporary
victory on technicality. But the
bridge was built and when the Indians
received their first allotment last sum-
mer more than $4,000 was spent in
the city in one day.
Those who fought the matter have
long since hid their heads in shame

Twenty years ago the village car

Rev. Burleson's Advice.

spoke on THE Church and the IN

and pleasing speaker and his advice
given In q friendly way, was very
popular with the directors present.
The keynote Of his address was that
there should be no display or other
innovations az funerals which would
tend to divert the mind from the
right contemplation Of the occasion.
Our attitude st funerals should u
one Of comforting sympathy and
nothing should ~ allowed u which
would interfere With this.
