the session. The roll call was being
taken on its final passage when Re-
preventative Stevens of Burleigh
county opened a fight on the meas
ure on the grounds that it operated
against the provisions of another bill
which had already been passed by
both houses and signed by the gov
ernor. His fight was so successful
that the changing of the votes from
aye to no caused the clerk to lose
the record of them and new roll
call was ordered and the bill was de-
feated by vote of to so. This is
shown at pages 62 and 63 of the jour-

Later in the day Representative Stew

that he had received a note from Gov

the only one probably ever sent to

One of the largest ASSEMBLIES which

ton opera house Sunday to do honor to
MILFORD c. Andrew. the travelling man
who lost his life in the recent Great
Northern wreck at data. The reason
the memorial service was held at
CrcokstOn was, that Mr.. Andrew
made CrCOkston his headquarters, AMI
because the majority of the travelling
men with whom he associated and of
his acquaintance We're men who made
their headquarters there. At three
o'clock, the hour for holding the sery-
ice, not an available seat was left in
the house, and the assembly was one
OF the most representative Crookston
audiences which was ever in the
house.
The building was beautifully dec
GRATED. The stage was banked with
flowers, and rare cut flowers in vases
made one of the richest displays that
was ever seen on the Crookston stage.
The house was draped with white and
black bunting and with lavender and
white, the colors OF the U. C. T. The
flowers were roses, carnations and
Easter lilies. which filled the whole
house with their perfume and were a
beautiful tribute from his brother
travellers to a man who had the beau
tiful qualities of the flowers in that
purity Of life and the unselfishness
which he was willing to give without
any hope or desire for return.

HOPE TO HAVE FIVE
BANDS ON
There Will Be Plenty of Music
at u. G II. Convention to Be
Held in This City.

Music should run riot during the
travelling mems convention to be held
in Grand Forks on June and s, for on
those dates it is hoped to have no less
than five brass bands on hand with
their full quota of musicians. The
Minneapolis Journal band has already
signed contracts, while Minot, Winni-
peg, Fargo, Duluth and Crookston are
now being corresponded with regard
ing their coming. The Grand Forks
military band will also be on hand.
One of the features of the conven-
ton will be the grand parade on the
first day. In this parade there will
probably be no less than 1900 per-
sons, and with the several musical or
CARNATIONS divided along the line, one
of the finest spectacles ever witnessed
in the city should result.

A BETTING HOMAGE
TO OECEASED'S
MEMORY
Funeral of Late Robt. Brown
lee at Fisher Attended BY
Large Number of Friends.

The most largely attended and prob
ably the most solemn funrela ever
held in the village of Fisher, was that
OF the late Robert Brownlee, held this
afternoon in the town hall at o'clock,
under the auspices OF Grand Forks
lodge No. 255. B. P. o. E., assisted by
the Grand Forks lodge, Knights of
Pythias, the Uniform Rank. and by
the Rev. N. Gilchrist, pastor of the
Presbyterian church OF Crookston.
The place of holding the obsequie
was crowded beyond capacity, almost
as many Grand Forks friends of the
deceased being present, as were rela-
tives and friends from Fisher. A
special train carrying seventy-five, or
more. left the local G. n. depot at
O'Clock this afternoon, arriving at
Fisher at the hour set.
The Elk ritual was used throughout
the services, which were interspersed
with prayers and music. The cere-
monial was both solemn and elabor-
ate, and entirely BETTING the memory
OF the deceased.
The floral offerings, gifts of So
cieties and friends of the family were
both numerous and beautiful, includ-
ing several elegant and costly de-
sings, those from the Elks and knights
OF Pythias being particularly worthy
OF note.
Following the indoor services which
lasted about an hour, the remains
We're conveyed to the Fisher cemetery,
a short distance outside the village
limits, where the final rites of burial
We're administered, with friends gath
cred about the grave, heads barred and
bowed, while final prayers for the de-
= parted We're reverently uttered. The
scene was indeed impressive.

Forks and other outside friends who
We're in attendance, returned to the

experimental substation for his dis
trict. to be located at or near Willis

and we'll directed efforts can come
home to his constituents and say, II

his work for us at Bismarck, Mr..
Chapman has delivered the goods and
has brought to us "a thing of beauty
and Joy forever" He has repre-
sented our counties at every turn OF
the way. The getting of the station
is big thing for Williston and
coupled with the irrigation system
that is being installed by the reclama-
ton department of the government
will mean a big difference in the fu-
ture of WillistOn.

The legislators certainly acted the
part of cravens in their treatment of
the anti-pass law. They lodged it,
instead of coming out boldly against
it. They killed it by neglect. Such
cowardly tactics as that will not COM
mend the members to their constitu-
ents. The giving and taking of passes
in this state has done more to put
the state under the control of rail-
road lackeys than any other thing.
The fact that a legislator has a pass
on the railroads has its influence with
him. But the legislators were nerv-
GUS about giving up their passes
even though the state pays them mile
age for travelling to and from Bis
marck. The manner in which the bill
was beaten showed little else than
sneaking cOwardice.

Before and After.
Lisbon Free Press.)


The house adopted the fiat 2-cent
passenger rate with great gusto and
resounding hurrahs. 1t then went to
the senate where they expected it to
be amended by that body and made
a 21a-cent rate per mile. But the
senate would not fall into the trap
and also adopted the 2-cent rate. 1t
was returned to the house and few
minor amendments made. Then the
house went back on its own act and
substituted a 21h-cent rate for the
2-cent, asking the senate for con-
ference. o consistency, thou art a
jewel! Did the passes cause such
wonderful change, or what came over
their troubled dreams?
