The Transformed Pythaaorsan.


Some undergraduates once wished to
play q practical joke upon man who
was disciple Of Pythagoras, SO one
day when he was a little sleepy. by
reason of the amount Of brandy and
soda that he had imbibed his friends
smeared him with honey and rolled
him in the inside Of a feather bed.
When the disciple Of Pythagoras got
up In the morning he looked in the
looking glass at himself and said slow

MANDAN

for cause which be to said board
shall seem sufficient, and after an OPP
portunity to be heard, to discharge
all employees" Sec. ,3S states: .Ev-
cry person appointed to any Office
may be removed therefrom by ma
jority vote, but no such officer shall
be removed except for cause nor un-
less charges are preferred against
him and an opportunity given him
to be heard in his defense" Under
this provision, should any subordin-
ate officer be removed without just
cause he would have right to appeal
to the courts for relief, if the COM
missioners failed to give him fair
treatment
The subordinate officers are just
as much responsible to the public
under the commission system as they
are under the present system, and by
Sec. 81, page 346, the treasurer, audi
tor, justice Of the peace, constable,
and such other officers, as the board
may direct, execute and deliver to
the city a bond. &
Each commissioner has absolute
control of a department. but the
statement that his acts cannot be
questioned would not be correct. He
is just as much under obligation to
the public as he would be If he was

The Toe Nails.

Owing to the friction and pressure to-
which toe nails are exposed In all per-
sons who wear boots or shoes there is
a great tendency to thickening on the
underpart Of the free growth, the por
ton OF the nail that extends beyond the
toe point. This thickened part some
times gets pressed against the flesh,
and then very painful corns result.
The preventive treatment is to keep
the nails cut short and to remove the.
rather soft thickened parts with a
blunt pocket knife or scissors blade.

Lying.
1t was said Of DR.. Johnson that he
always talked as though he were TAX
ing an oath. He detested the habit Of
lying or prevaricating in the slight
est degree and would not allow his
servants to say he was not at home If
he was, a servants strict regard
for the truth" said he, must be weak
ened by such practice. II accus-
tom my servant to tell a lie for me,
have / not reason to apprehend that
he will tell 1t for himself y A strict
adherence to truth the doctor consid-
cred as a sacred obligation, and In re-
lating the smallest anecdote he would
not allow himself the minutest addi-
ton to enbellish his story. E.

such royal good fellows as Becker

representative, and the crowd that is
going, it will be vacation par excel

Incidentally. there is something to
this Becker Realty Companies. A
couple of years ago they started in a
modest way in a little 2x4 room in

Winneshiekers in Runaway.

Last evening about seven O'Clock
serious runaway accident occurred OF
the Military road, west of Postville,
near the old Bullock farm, and that it
was not attended with fatal results is
due to extreme good fortune
Miss Sarah Campbell and Miss
Eliza Armstrong were returning from
Postville to their home near Castalia,
driving a single horse attached to
top buggy. Young Bachelor and
Clough, somewhat organized, came
driving up behind them rapidly, also
enroute TO Castalia, and in attempting
to pass the ladies rig failed to turn
out far enough, with the result that
the rear wheels of the vehicles locked,
tearing the hind wheel off the ladies
rig and so frightening their horse that
it ran away and overturned the buggy,
throwing both ladies violently ont
against the barbed wire fence, cut
ting, scratching and bruising them
considerably. Miss Armstrong fell
with her neck on the wire, cutting a
cash whicN required four stitches to
close, and had not the horse broken
loose from the buggy the first jump
after the overturning of the rig the
jugular vein would have been severed
and Miss Armstrong would have died
on the spot.
Miss Campbell escaped with less
serious injuries. but received badly
bruised arm, and is considerably
scratched about the face, hands and
other parts of her person.
That the affair was purely an acct
dental one there is no doubt, for as
soon as the boys saw what they had
done they at once turned back to the
ladies assistance and rendered every
courtesy possible. Mr.. Bachelor
bringing the ladies back to the home
of Miss Maggie Mitchell in this city,
where they received medical aid, Mr.
Clough catching their horse meantime.
Miss Campbell's brother came down
from Castalia later in the evening
and took the ladies home. -Postville

New Stock is Here.

Dropping into the store of A. Neish
& Sons the other day we found them
busy unpacking large boxes OF dry
goods just received from the whole
sale houses of the east. The store and
warehouse is filed with immense
boxes of goods, and more are coming
every day, being the new stock which
will take the place of the old stock
which they have disposed OF during
stheir fire sale. Mr. Neish informed
'us that already $25, 900 worth OF dry
goods and notions had been received.
and much more is on the way. The
old stock is we'll cleaned up, but the
little that remains will be taken VI
stairs and closed out there at very
low prices. When the new stock is
arranged they will have a fine store
filed with new and up-to-date goods.
The interior of the building has been
completely renovated and remodeled
since the fire.

A PECULIAR RELIGIOUS SECT.
lsraelites OF the House Of David Come TO
DEBORAH by Team and Hold Ser.
vices Upon the Street.

Representative of peculiar religi-
Gus sect arrived in DEBORAH Saturday
and have been holding meetings on
the street corners. They call them
selves Isrealites of the House of
David, and hail from Benton Harbor,
Mich. There are two ladies and two
gentlemen in the party, Lena and
Gail being brother and sister and
Marion and Charity man and wife
. They call each other by the first name,
having adopted the old Bible form
of living.
Their theory is that there will be
but 14i. GOO Of the elect in the world.
and if one wishes to be saved he must
join the IA, 900. Signs point to a
nearby ending of the world or the
present cycle of time. Wars and in
ventions to aid man in thousand
wars speak that the end is near. 1t
was in fact intimated that the inven-
tion of the graphophone and the tele-
phone where the human voice is re-
produced is one of the last things be-
fore the great day and the Bible is
quoted to prove it. The sect also
believe in the preservation of the
body of the elect as we'll as the soul.
The sect is located in Benton Har-
Dor, Mich, where they have about
800 acres Of land and numerous build
ings where most of the necessities of
life are grown and made. Their sect
represent most of the ordinary arts.
They number nearly thousand and
from reports recruits are coming in
daily. Benjamin and Mary are the
leaders of the sect Their people are
sent out in groups of fours without
script or purse as the Apostles of old
and they say they have never come
TO want yet. Everything on the home
plantation is held in common. They
observe the marriage relation and
have schools for the education of their
children. They wear the hair long,
both men and women, allowing it to
flow to the breeze. They have been
out since June Sd and expect to return
about October 10Th. The wagon they
use was made at Benton Harbor at
their own wagon factory.

seventh inning, when Winnesheik

HAYTI GROWS sPITEFUL.
Refuses to Heed Requests of Foreign
Ministers.

Port Au Prince, Hayti, Feb. H.
The relations between the govern.
ments of Hayti and Germany are
strained about the refusal of the Ger
man bankers, Hermann & Co., by d.
rection Of the court at Port Au Prince,
to return to the Haytian government
large sums of money alleged to have
heen obtained fraudulently. Among
the alleged transactions of Hermann &
Co. with the Haytian government was
one which is said to have proved favor
able to the government. This was
concluded by the Haytian minister Of
finance, the German legation and Her.
mann & Co.
The German minister demanded that
this transaction, as well as others, be
annulled, but the Haytian government
in terms that the German minister
deemed offensive, refused to acquiesce
and at the same time demanded the
withdrawal of the phrase objected to-.
This also was refused. Fears are en-
tertained here of grave complications
ensuing.
