Biq Travel on M. & !.

Travel on the NJ. & I. passen-
der trains (both north and south
bound) has been heavy during
the past month, especially so for
this time of year. The train
Monday night (going north) was
crowded to the doors, in every
coach, and many were standing
in the aisles, making it almost
impossible for the conductor to
pass through and collect the
fares. The M. & I. is boon to
Bemidji, in the matter of trans
porting people to and from this
city, much trade being secured
by local merchants from these
visitors here.

0. NJ. OLSON WAS BURIED
At NORTHOME YESTERDAY
Died Suddenly Last Saturday-Was
ConvaIescing from an Attack
of Typhoid Fever.

Northome, Feb. 26.-(Special
to the Pioneer. )-Ole M. Olson,
ex-postmaster of this place and
ex-deputy sheriff of Itasca coun-
ty, who died suddenly last Sat,
urday, was buried in this village
yesterday. The funeral was one
of the largest attended events of
the kind ever held here. The
business houses of the village
were closed during the hour the
services were held, and much re-
spect was shown to the memory
of the dead. The body was buried
in the local cemetery. "
Mr.. Olson recently returned d
from the hospital at Grand Ra-
pids, where he had been con-
fined for two months with a very
severe attack of typhoid fever.
At the beginning of the fever,
Mr.. Olson was delirious,I and it
was feared that he had lost his
reason, he was very violent, and
was rational but seldom. He
did not regain his mental equili-
brium for five weeks after being
taken to the hospital, and the
fever that ragged within him re-
duced his body in weigh t by
forty pounds, when he was su-
fficiently recovered to return to
Northome, his usual strong con-
stitution was broken, and he
was very week.
Last Saturday, Mr.. Olson
walked to a bill near the school
house, to watch some children
who we're sliding. Upon reach
ing the top of the hill, he fell to
the ground and was in great pain.
He was removed to his home
where he died at 10 o'clock last
light.
Ole M. Olson and his family
consisting of his wife and Two
children, came to Northome five
years ago, from Cass Lake. Mr..
Olson was a thrifty individual and
did we'll here. He was appointed
postmaster, which position he
resigned last fall. He was also
deputy sheriff of Itasca county
for a year. He was about sc
years of age, and had a large &C.
quaintance throughout the north
half of the state.

Creed of Cornell University According

Ithaca, N. Y.-The Cornell creed, ac-
cording to Cornell university profess
sor who has his version on his desk
where he can look at it when he
works, is as follows:
Il believe in the stuff I am handing
out, in the firm l am working for, and
in my ability to get results. l believe
that honest stuff can be passed out to
honest men by honest methods"
81 believe in working, not weeping;
in boosting, not knocking, and in the
pleasure of my job. l believe that a
man gets what he goes after; that one
deed done to-day is worth two deeds
tomorrow, and that no man is down
and out until he has lost faith in him
self.
Il believe in to-day and the work l
am doing, in tomorrow and the work
l hope to do, and in the sure reward
which the future holds.
81 believe in courtesy, in kindness,
in generosity. in good cheer, in friend
ship and honest competition.

somewhere for every man ready to do
it. ! believe / am ready right now."

SANTA re PENSIONS.
Liberal Payments to Old or Disabled
Employees.


The following details OF the pension
scheme adopted by the Atchison, To-
peka and Santa Fe railroad system
are given in a statement issued by
the general passenger agent:
"The pension system the company
has devised is one of the most liberal
in existence. No additional restric-
tions are placed on the employment Of
new men and no employe will be arbi-
trarily retired because he has reached
tbe age of sixty-fve or seventy years.
Fmployes will be retained in the serv-
ice as long as they are able to perform
their duties satisfactorily. For those
who are weakened by reason of age or
accident the company will endeayor to
find some new duty that is less ardu-
ous and exacting than that at which
they were originally employed. Re-
tirement will be for incapacity alone,
and the board of pensions, of which
George q. Tunell is the secretary, will
have full power to decide when man
is incapacitated.
.The Santa Fe plan distinguishes
between men who have received small
salaries and those who have been reg
ularly paid larger amounts. The man.
agement of road realizes that small
salaried men have not the opportunity
to Law aside as much money as those
who are better paid and the pension
board will keep this fact in view when
it awards pensions.
Twenty dollars a month will be the
smallest pension given any pensioner.
Exceptionally long and efficient serv-
ice will result in the pensioner receiv-
ing twenty-five per cent. increase OF
the regular allowance. The basis for
the amount of the pension is fixed on
the highest salary a pensioner has re-
ceived during his connection with the
road Fifteen years actual service will
entitle an employe to pension as a
result of old age. Employees incapaci-
tated as a result of an accident will be
pensioned regardless of the length of
| service.
"All employees whose highest aver
age wage was $50 or less a month will
be given a pension equal to one and
one-fourth per cent. of his wage for
each year of service. An employe who
| has been in the service thirty-eight
years at an average wage of s45 would
receive $21.39. The amount of pen
sions for better paid men is deter
mined in similar manner, but man
whose wages exceeded $50 will only
get one and one-fourth per cent on the
first $50 of his salary and three-fourths
per cent. on the remainder. The high
est pension will not exceed SIS a
month.
