CHAFE OVER THE
DELAY OF SEWER
Council Applies Prob to Duluth
Engineer Who Is Draw
ing Plans.

The sewer question and the
long delay that has been occa-
stoned by the slowness Of the
Duluth engineer in making the
required changes in the plans,
was the main topic of discussion
at the meeting Of the city council
last night.
ssRoasts" for the Duluth En-
gineering company were handed
out freely and the general
opinion seemed to be that the
Zenith City concern is merely
playing with Bemidji, thinking
it has a cinch and can take it's
own time.
Several aldermen werein favor
of demanding the plans by next
Saturday finished or unfinished,
but it was finally decided to
adopt a more moderate course
and instruct the city clerk to
write the engineer and inquire
when the plans will be ready.
Then if it is found necessary to
demand them by Saturday, a
second letter can be written.
It was pointed out at the meet.
ing last night that the sewer
might have been commenced
long ago but for the slowness of
the Duluth man. That he
promised the changes in the
plans, made necessary by the
order. of the state board of health
requiring a septic tank, two or
three weeks ago and has been
dallying along from week to
week since. In the meantime
the public is fretting because
nothing is done.
Another matter that oc-
casioned considerable interest
last night was the appearance of
I. B. Olson before the council to
TASK that the complaint against
him charging fighting on the
public streets be withdrawn. He
stated his side Of the case, claim
ing that he had been attacked
and had been forced to defend
himself. The council instructed
the city attorney to look up the
circumstances in the case, and
Mr.. Russell explained that the
case had already been up in
Justice court and that Mr.. Olson
would be given a chance to prove
by witnesses, if he could do so,
that it was Andrew McNabb and
not himself that struck the first
blow. If be could do this, said
the city attorney, the charges
would he withdrawn.
Alderman Bowser entered a
vigorous complaint against the
manner in which the telephone
company treats customers when
there is fire in progress. He
said he had tried to call up cen
trail on the night of the fire and
that he could not get an answer.
By pure accident he did learn
where the fire was, but he did
not think it fair to the public
that the telephone company,
which enjoys special and numer-
Gus privileges conferred by the
public, should refuse to answer
phone calls, especially from
business men with stores and
buildings in the same block and
in danger of burning down.
The city attorney was instructed
to confer with the telephone
company and find out what could
be done to remedy the trouble.

Greeley'S Advice.

A brother Universalist, having
called to demonstrate with Horace
Greeley on the omission of the Trib-
une to controvert those Orthodox
Christians who were filing the relig-
ious press of New York with revival
ist sermons and denouncing damna-
ton to all but the elect, found the
great editor busy writing, says the
National Magazine. He kept on
writing. He kept on writing while his
caller said: MIR. Greeley, do you
mean to let those awful doctrines 90
unchallenged in your newspaper that
all but few of the people of this
great country are going to hell-is
that your idea of duty?" Finally
patience was exhausted: he
lifted up his voice and spoke: ''Not
half enough people go to hell now; go.
there yourself!'

Political Pet Names.

Wnen statemsan reaches certain
pitch of eminence, popularity or
notoriety he is invariably dubbed a
pet name. Indeed, if statesman
misses this distinction he can scarcely
be said to belong to the first rank.
The pet name immortalized some
trait or popularity and epitomizes in
word or two the characteristics upon
which the fame of the recipient will
chiefly rest.
Nlcknames are not always iatter-
ing, but even the ribald ones Indicate
that the statesman to whom they are
applied have made a deep impression
upon the public mind. Thus, a mem
Der OF parliament representing Dublin
some years ago became known as
"Bill" Mahoney because he intro
duced SO many bills. A parliament
arian hailing from Wales was famil-
iarly known as Bubbles" an epithet
clearly Indicative of the emptiness of
his harangues. Nicknames are tena-
cious. Bubbles" Wynn of Wales
was so known as long as he lived. It
is noted by a British journal that
while Mr.. Asquith, Sir Edward Grey,
Herbert Gladstone and Mr.. Bryce
have not yet developed political pet
names, there are two ''Honest Johns'''
in the present cabinet-John Morley
and John Burns. No other designa-
ton could give greater distinction.
Harcourt will live in parliamentary
nomenclature as "Lulu.' C. r.
Spencer is popularity known by the
afectionate name of ''Bobby." Bal
four rejoices in two names. one in
vented by his admirers, the other by
those who are not captivated by his
policies. He is "Pretty Fanny or
the more dignifed "Arthur" accord
ing to the point of view. Lord Rose
berry will live in history as 1.-The
Lone Chief' or 1.-The Public Orator.,
The tendency in England to give
characteristic name to public charac-
tiers is illustrated by the frequency
with which Chamberlain is referred to
as "Joey." Lord Sandwich was
dubbed Jimmy Twitcher," and
George Grenville is remembered as
1.-The Gentle Shepherd
A list of American political pet
names, complimentary or otherwise,
would form a striking collection.
Lincoln is immortalized as ''Honest
Abe" Clay is fondly remembered
as 1.-The Great Pacifcator" and 1.-THE
Mill Boy of the Slashes.'' cold
Hickory" recalls the strong fiber of
Andrew Jackson. Blaine appealed to
the popular Imagination as ''the
Plumed Knight.'' The fame of
"Sockless'' Simpson does not rest
entirely upon a popularity of apparel.
A derissive nickname has often aided
in the quest for political success

the result that tuberculosis in the
worst form was found. Tests were
made on the rest of the cattle and
seventeen had the disease.
Several Bemidji business men have
been made defendants in a suit
brought by the Red Lake railroad for
5000 bonus which the road was
promised. The road alleges that it
was induced to come to Bemidii by
the offer of enough money to purchase
the right of way and terminals. The
sum agreed on was $3.50 The city
council could find no way to raise the
money and business men generally
signed an agreement to make up the
sum. The city never found any way
to pay the bonus and now suit has
been brought against the guarantors.
Probably one of the most wonderful
inventions of the day is the new
automatic engine, invented by Prof.
c. A. Holcomb, Duluth, mechanical
engineer of thorough technical train
ing, who has spent a life time in the
work OF designing machinery of all
kinds. The Holcomb automatic en-
CINE is a rotary engine which COM
bines the proven and effective prin-
ciples of all types of reciprocating
engines and is different from any,
thing that has ever been produced by
man. All dead centers are avoided,
and the engine may be started, STOP
ped or reversed instantaneously at
any point. It promises to be the ideal
engine for electrical plants, marine
work, automobiles, train lighting,
operating pumps, blowers, air motors
and hoists.
A heavy set man with a black hand
kerchief over his face held up and
robbed William Hoban in the latter's
bedroom at the Hoban residence. 300
Aldrich avenue, North Minneapolis.
Mr.. HOban was awakened by a
stranger, who, at the point of a re-
volver, demanded his money. Mr..
Hoban made futile attempt to seize
the weapon, but as the stranger grew
more threatening, overturned the
furniture and made a move as if he
would shoot, the victim surrendered
and told the intruder that the money
was in drawer in the dressing table.
The robber made off with s27S in
greenbacks and silver, but at Hoban's
request he left the checks untouched.
AS he left he locked the door and
made good his escape. Occurrences
of this description are common in
Minneapolis.

The Two Gould Girls.

An American father had two daugh-
tiers, and when he died he left each of
them large fortune. One of them
said to herself, like society, I like
titles, and as there are no titles in
America will cast my lot in foreign
lands. AS she was rich and attrac-
tive. it was not long before titled
gentleman from France offered her
his hand in marriage. She accepted,
the marriage ceremony was performed,
and she went with her titled husband
to Paris, opened palace, and went
in for all the enjoyments of French
society.
We shall not speak of the many
troubles which befell her and the dis
tress which her titled husband brought
upon herself and members of her
family in America. But the upshot of
it is that the count has spent up to
this time something like $4,000, 900 of
her estate, and besides has so out
ragged her feelings by his attentions
to another woman that she has
brought suit for divorce.
The other daughter said, I love the
simple life best, and I will consecrate
myself, my talents, my mind, my
womanhood and my fortune to the
good of humanity. From that day
she has found her pleasures in doing
good. She has never been ostenta-
tious; she has never paraded herself
before the public; she has found no
time for the frivolities of society, for
she has been too busy in good works
for such diversions. If she had any
desire for title save that which be-
longs to every true American woman
the public at least had no evidence of
it, and yet she has a title. She is
known throughout the length and
breadth of the land as our uncrowned
American queen, and that title, which
has been voluntarily bestowed upon
her by the American public, is a title
of honor more rich and worthy than
any which has been gained by inheri-
lance or by marriage.
Which of these two titled women do
our American girls most admired
And which has had the happier life9-

GREENHOUSE.

We expected to hear the wedding
bells ringing last Friday, but we're
disappointed.
While going to attend the social at
district 2 a couple of gentlemen got
sidetracked from the road and into
the ditch they went.
A. E. Grow and Rant Ross were
seen headed for the Lantz's sawdust
pile, and we heard that while trying
to turn around on top of the heap Mr..
Ross's sled was turned bottom side
up. No injury resulted.
While returning from the mail box
last Saturday afternoon Mrs. Henry
Hess was attacked by fierce musk
rat. The animal jumped at her sew
eral times but as far as we can learn
she received no injuries.
A good time is reported from district
2. An entertainment was given there
last Friday evening and after that a
basket social. A snug little sum was
Melted, which is to be applied on the
library. Among those present were
the Misses Mae and Belle Orion, Miss
Hanson and Miss Mary Bender.
In spite of the poor weather last
Thursday the basket social at the
school house in district 10 was we'll
attended,. A fine program was rend-
cred by the school children. Miss
Hanson, the teacher, certainly took
great pains to drill them so we'll. All
departed at late hour, and we think
the merriest crowd was on Mr.. Orion IS
