The boring OF Glass.

Strong glass plates are bored through
by means Of rotating brass tubes OF
the necessary diameter, which are
filed with water during boring. To
the water there Is added finely pull
verified emery. It Is said that thinner
glass can be perforated with holes in
an easier manner by pressing a disk
of wet clay upon the glass and making
a hole through the clay Of the widths
desired, so that at that spot the glass
is laid bare. Then molten lead is
poured into the hole, and lead and
glass drop down at once. This method
is based upon the quick local heat
Ing Of the glass, whereby 1t obtains
circular crack, the outline of which COR
responds to the outline Of the hole
made in the clay. The cutting of glass
tubes, cylinders, ETC., in factories is
based upon the same principle.

CHANGE RATES IN IOWA.
Live Stock Carriers Get Order From
Commissioners.

Des Moines, Feb. AT the close OF
the days hearing on live stock rates
In Iowa the state board of railroad
commissioners ordered a complete re-
vision of all freight schedules now In
force in this state: The order caused
much surprise among the railroad men
attending the hearing.
There has been no general revision
Of schedules for many years and it
was disclosed in the hearings that
numerous inequalities have grown up.
1t was deemed important by the COM
missioners to eliminate these and to
put the schedules upon modern basis
and in harmony with modern condf-
lions in freight transportation.
The hearing will be held as soon as
possible, but the railroads are entitled
to ten days notice to prepare for the
hearing, which probably will cover
several months.

by the terrorist before he was able to
do so. Seeing that it was impossible
to get through the crowds outside the

REPORT CONCERNING THE
MOHLERS NOT TRUTHFUL
Article Published in the Tenstrike Trib-
une Was Greatly Distorted
Account of the Case.

Mr.. and Mrs. Thomas Mohler,
recently of Taylor township,
were in the city today, visiting
with relatives. They were much
surprised when informed of the
article which had been published
in last nights Pioneer, and
which was taken from the Ten
strike Tribune, relative to an ILL
ness of Mrs. Mohler.
In the article referred to, it
was made to appear that Mrs.
Mohler had been previously
neglected, and that new born
babe had died as a result of ex-
posture in a cold room, immedi-
ate]y after birth.
To the Pioneer, Mr.. Mohler
stated that when he left his home
to come to Bemidji his wife was
in good health, but that he had
intimated that she stop with
neigh bers until he returned; that
Mrs. Mohler was feeling we'll,
and that she was unwilling to
leave the house. She was taken
i'll while Mr.. MOhler was in Be-
midi, and when the latter
arrived at Turtle River on his
return he learned of her illness,
fastening home and taking her
to the home of Mrs. Gallagher,
where baby boy was born an
hour after arrival of Mrs.
Mohler. The statement that the
baby was dead at the home of
the Mohler's when the illness of
Mrs. Mohler was discovered is
branded as false, as the baby
was not born until after Mrs.
Mohler was taken to the Gal
legher's. The child, according
to Mr.. Mohler, lived nearly four
weeks after birth, and death
came sudnenly and unexpect-
eddy.
The statement in the Tribune
was evidently much garbled
before reaching the editor. The
Pioneer gave proper credit for
the article, and this paper
assumed no responsibility for
publishing the article.
Mrs. Muller is a daughter of
doc" Winebrenner, and niece
of Dan and James Winebrenner
of this city.

French Socialists Would Prohibit
Them in Future.

Paris, Feb. 9.-In the chamber Of
deputies the Socialists, led by NJ.
Jaures, continued their assault on
Russian finances, insisting that the
French market should hereafter be
closed to Russian loans, whether d.
rect or indirect, as the money derived
therefrom was used to stifle the legiti-
mate aspirations of the Russian peo-
pie. M. Jaures further charged that
Russia was now seeking, in a round
about way, through the ostensible
purchase of railroad material, to Sc
cure funds to enable it to dissolve the
coming parliament.
The speech of the Socialist leader
constituted a yelled attack on EXPIRE
mier Rouvier, who is supposed to be

ALL THAT IS NEEDED
No Longer Necessary to Buy
Special Delivery.
or INTEREST TO PUBLIC.

Few Richmond people know that by
placing five two-cent stamps on a
letter and writing Special Delivery
beneath. the necessity of buying a
special delivery stamp is obviated
But this is so. nevertheless.
The postal authorities are confident
that the old blue special delivery
stamp which may still be used, will
go out of use. owing to the conven-
fence of the new regulations and that
as result there will be an increase
in the special delivery business.
They fear. however, that many peo-
pie will forget to write Special De
livery in large letters on the face of
the envelope which is necessary if the
letter is to be delivered by special
messenger
1t is thought that an increased
amount of special delivery mail will
be handled in this way, as some peo-
pie do not like to go through the for
mality of having a different kind of
stamp for every letter.
