"PADDY" C0NR0Y LEAVES
FOR HOME IN new YORK
Is Afflicted With Consumption --Dennis
Conroy, a Brother, Ac-
companies Him.

"Paddy"Conroy left this morning
for his home at Syracuse, N. Y.
He was accompani ed by his brother,
Dennis Conroy, who came from
Syracuse for the purpose of seeing
that he make the journey east in
safety.
Paddy" Conroy Everybody calls
him "Paddy") has lived in Bemidji
for several years, and is known to
nearly every resident of the city.
He has worked in the north-country
woods, and is what is known in the
timber country as "lumberjack." "
He has always been a good-natured
soul, whose friends were many, and
has the rare good fortune to pos
sess no enemies. =
Of late, Conroy has become the
victim of that most dreaded of all
ments-the white plague'-con.
sumption. So rapidly did the disease
make inroads on his constitution, he
has failed rapidly in health and lost
flesh at an alarming rate.
Dennis Conroy, brother of Pad.
dy," arrived in the city the first of
the week, and after noting his
brothers condition, decided to take
him back to his old home at Syracuse.
It is very probable that Paddy
will never recover from the disease
| which has fastened itself upon him;
and his friends here are extremely
grieved at his condition.

COUNCIL WORKING FOR
IMPROVED WATER SERVICE
Voting Of Bonds Would Provide Funds
to Further Project Of Ample
Service.
The action of the CITY council, at

The action of the city council, at
its regular meeting Monday even.
ing, in accepting, the report of the
committee appointed to look over
proposed sites for the erection
of new steel tower and water
tank, and also order a special cleo
ton to be held on August End, tC
vote on the proposition of bonding
the city in the sum of $4,000 for
waterworks extention, is commend,
able, inasmuch as it the PROPOSE,
ton of issuing bonds is carried, a
system of waterworks is assured
the city that will be ample in
every respect for fire protection and
other purposes.
The object of the extension to the
waterworks system and additions to
present mains in certain quarters,
will be gained by revision of the
pumping plant and laying of larger
mains.
If the new location for the pro.
posed tower and tank is purchased,
the pumping plant will be revised
by the purchase of improved new
pumps and placing them at lower
elevation and in closer proximity to
the we'll.
The Improvements to the water.
works system will entail the laying
of some 5000 feet of 1O-inch mains
and two miles of smaller mains.
The erection of the new tower
and tank will consist of steel
tower, 100 feet high, and a 100000
gallon tank, after the site at the
corner of the old ball park is pur-
chased.
The action of the council in pass
ing an ordinance compelling every
consumer of city water to purchase
meters, some to be installed before
January /, 1908, is also believed to
be a commendable action.
The change recommended in the
pumping system, it is believed, will
make it possible that the pure arte,
sian water from the we'll will be
ample to supply the town, in all
emergencies. 1t is also believed by
many that the anticipated increase
in the number of consumers will re-
suit in enough to care for a'sinking
fund that will eventually pay for
the bonds when due, without the
necessity of tax levy, as the in.
creased cost of operating the water.
works system will be but small
addition to the present cost.

mot DRAW COLOR LINE
As TO Postal CLERKS
Department Will Not Grant
White Clerks Request to Be
Put on Separate Runs.

WASHINGTON, March 1.-THE
Post Office Department does not intend
to draw the color line5in the matter
Of white and negro railway mail clerks
working together on the same runs.
Although an inti1nation has been given
the superintendent of the railway mail
service that white clerks In the middle
west are preparing to request the de-
partment to effect change so as to
put the negroes on runs which will not
bring them in proximity to the whites,
1t was stated to-day that no such dis
elimination could or would be made.
The particular objection which 1t is
said the white clerks have to associat-
ing with negroes on long runs. Is that
they are obiged-to eat and sleep in
the same car. the regulation of the
department permitting clerk on sucli
run, when his work is up, to rest.
At certain terminals there are pro-
vided dormitories in public buildings
where the clerks may stay IL they see
fit to do so, but these are open to the
negro clrks as we'll as the whites, and
the department does not see wherein
1t has any province in the matter.

legal fiction, and asked If, in the name
of Heaven, they would take fiction

that this fictitious State OF Virginia,

but that he belieyed that II there had

Conrad Taken III.
Major Conrad said the extra session
OF the Legislature OF the restored
State of Virginia, which authorized
the creation of new State, had no
constitutional existence, and he could
prove that 1t was not called accord
ing to the Constitution of the State.
He drew a picture OF tho restored

ginia, created for no other purpose
than to take everything they could
lay their hands on from the real State
OF Virginia. and transferring 1t to the
State OF West Virginia, which just
became another name for the same ter
ritory and the identical population.
Major Conrad went into an argument
on the demurrer itself. He held that
the defendants to the suit had abandoned
their original grounds OF demurrer, and
in an amended plea had submitted
grounds upon which to demur which
were not contained in the record at all
He was In the midst OF his argument on
this phase of the case when he had q
slight attack of heart trouble, and the
case went over until tomorrow. He will
then conclude his argument. He will be
followed by Attorney General Anderson
on behalf Of Virginia, who. In turn, viii
be followed by John G. CARLISLE who vii
close the case.
The questions propounded to counse
by the court would indicate decided
leaning toward Virginia by the court or
the points raised. 1t is interesting tc
note that some Of these came from Jus.
tice Harlan, a native Of what is nov
