His Gard.

Mr.. Newrich, the dust contractor
having made fortune. part of which
he had invested in house property in
the east Of London, wished to rise, like
a phenix, from his ashes into some
sort Of society. His golden key, ap.
piled to the Golfers Of an 1mpecunious
aristocrat, opened the way.
His new friend, among other things,
advised him that visiting cards were
a necessity, and, as guide to drawing
one up ready for the printer. handed
him one Of his own, which read,

Instead Of coming out party as we
know it. the Burmese girls entrance
into society begins when she has her
ears pierced. AS soon after this as she
feels inclined she selects a husband
and goes to live in home of her own.
The home is provided by the man, but
it becomes his wife's as soon as they
are married All women, young and
old, are addicted to the use Of tobacco
The women seem to prefer the very
large size black cigar. Often one meets

mouth and two or three more stuck in
the holes of each ear.

NEW TARIFF
AMENDMENT

F. D. Cooper, local Northern Pacific
freight agent, is in receipt Of an amend
ment to the tariff on merchandise which
provides that the minimum charge on
freight shall be for 100 ponnds,at the high
est class rate contained in the shipment.
unless above first class, then it will be
first class. For example: A box of dry
goods first class, weighing 70 pounds and
a box Of canned goods. fourth class, weigh
ing 20 pounds would cost $1.4o from the
twin cities or 500 from Chicago, this be-
ing first class rates from those points.
With this new tariff amendment, in great
many instances, it will he much cheaper
to have merchandise come by express in
stead of freight.

The Fargo Forum Of last week says that
newspaper changes are coming thick and
fast at Park River. Recently it was re-
ported that w. A. Young, formerly of the
Beach Chronicle, had purchased the Park
River Republican from the Susan estate.
A later report seem to indicate that Einar
Berge, former owner Of the Republican,
has secured the plant and will remove,it to
Grafton to start a third paper at the county
seat. On top Of these reports it is rumor-
ed that Young merely secured the subscrip-
ton list and good will..'of the Republican.
Since the plant IS 70 e:removed. Young
who does not want to be outdone, went to
Adams and purchased the Enterprise, an
other Walsh county paper, and will remove
it to Park River and still hold the fort.

were given no Accommodations whatever.
