Railroad and Warehouse Commission
viii Consider Raising Rates on
Hauling Of PulpWood.

The Minnesota State Railroad &
Warehouse Commission, through its
secretary, A. G. Clausen, has issued
the following notice of meeting OF
the commission to be held in this
city Tuesday, July z:
st. Paul, June 10, 1908.
To Whom 1t May Concern:
The hearing in the matter of the
application of the Minnesota &
international Railway company to
increase its rates on pulpwood to the
basis of its cordwood rates has been
fixed to take place at Hotel Mark
ham, Bemidji, Minnesota, on Tues.
day, July Z, 1908 at 2 o'clock, at
which all interested parties can be
heard.
Please be governed accordingly.
By The Commission,
A. Clausen, Secretary"
Several months ago the M. & I.
railway company requested Of the
commission that special hearing
be given on application to raise the
rates on pulpwood. Through the
medium Of the Bemidji Pioneer this
notice was given wide circulation
and many men, interested in pulp
wood had arranged to attend the
hearing, but for some reason the
railroad company requested post
ponement of the meeting at that
time, which requesttwas granted by
the commission.
Undoubtedly there will be large
crowd of pulpwood men present at
the meeting to be held here July 4.

Milk versus Fog
. By ] S. Knauss I,

In a recent article in the Tribune
Bro. Derrick Of the 800 Line inti-
mates that the milk dispensed by
the cow-owning nobility of the city Of
Bismarck and vicinity is not sof
STANDARD weight and fneness'' and
that the cream which ariseth thereon
could be easily penetrated by an Il
ray or broad axe. n u,
We have always held Bro. Derrick
in the highest esteem and have re-.
garded him as intellectually superior
to the majority of mankind and ii.
pains US to note this evident decad-.
,ence of his mental powers. He seems
to think that milk should have spmei
cream on the surface after standing
for twelve hours or more. If he nur-
lures this delusion much longer the
first thing we know he will be looking
for a watermelon patch in the vicini-.
! W of the north pole or trying to eK-
tract sunbeams from turnips, or pos
sibly attempting to cut a slice Of
cheese off the moon. s 5ss5
We will admit that we once. had
the same notion as Bro. Derrick got
it when we were young and inexper-
fenced from reading a highly illustrat-
ed edition of How to: Become a Mill
ionaire in the Dairy Business All
we remember Of it now is a picture Of
g pump working on full time and an
lligent looking COW winking at us
in the background. Since then we
have acquired lots OF experience but
no cream, and have practically aban-
doned the hope OF ever being able to
witness the interesting phenomenon
of cream rising on milk. #s8s5
You see it is like this, Bro. Derrick.
Milk has the property of absorbing
things. 1t will absorb microbes, the
odor of onions and moisture More
particularly moisture. 1t has been
scientifically demonstrated that there
lis considerable amount Of moisture
held in suspension in the atmosphere.
When the milkman milks the COW
this moisture is absorbed by the milk
and at the same time any cream that
might have been intending to come
ito the surface and plead guilty evapo-
rates more rapidly than your last

time. That is the reason why the air

side the cow while the dairyman
milks, Don't go away during the pro
cess otherwise the charm won't work
Mental telepathy or something of that
kind works wonders. You simply
think Of cream when you are MILKING
or when he is milking, as the case
may be, and behold 1t comes to pass
! that there is cream, provided, how
4 ever, that you take the milk away i'm

News that Bowbells would contest
the Kenmare vote on Nov. 8 On the
ground that illegal votes were cast
on the proposition of county division
has stirred the ire of the Kenmare}
people, and it is said that should the.
BoWbells citizens bring contest

testing the vote Of Bowbells, Mohall,

"A prominent resident of Kenmare,
who is in the city today, says regard
ing the situation:
@As we understand the position, il
the supreme court should decide in
favor Of Montraille county, then the
citizens of Bowbells will contest the
Kenmare vote. Should they succeed
in knocking out the Kenmare vote,
both Burke and RenviI1e counties win

IF the BoWbells people resort to
this method, we will retaliate by con
testing the vote Of Stanley, BowbeEs,
Mohall and Portal, and / believe that
we can win out in such contest. We
have ample evidence to sustain our
contention

From the Charleston News and Courier.
 Death is tho greatest lesson in life It teaches us to remember that we are all in the hands of God, who shapes our des- tinies and can do with us as He wills"
 Such were the words spoken by MT. R. H. Burnside, the stage director of the Hippodrome, the big playhouse in New York, at the funeral of Frank Melville in the armory of the Seventy-first regiment last Friday morning. Who was Melville? He had been a circus man from the first day that he could toddle and for nearly three generations his family had followed "the profession" His mother and his widow and brother, all of them bred in the business, were present, and about 2oOo other people, among them all the folks from the Hippodrome, directors and play CTS and riders and clowns and all. The band from the Hippodrome, under the di- rection of Nanny Klein, played Chopin's funeral march, and the services were con- ducted by the Elks and the Masonic fra ternities. The ritual of the Elks was read by Joseph Vanderbank, and Arthur More land, one of Franks old friends, and him. self a famous old-time minstrel made a little talk about the dead mans charac-

ter, to which, the Sun says, ''all his friends said, Amen.'" Then followed Mr. Burnside, the director of the playhouse in which the dead man had done some of his best work, who said:
 ''No man who has ever accomplished anything is forgotten. No man who has ever been good friend to his fellow man is forgotten Therefore Frank Melville will never be forgotten. Death is the greatest lesson in life. It teaches us to remember that we are all in the hands of Goa who shapes our destinies and can do with us as He wills.''
 We know that this was not after the manner of most funerals but 1t was splen- didly impressive. The words were not spoken by accredited ministers of reli- zion; but they were just as true as if they had been, and all the more suggest i've, perhaps, because they were an &C., knowledgment by those who are engaged in theatrical work of the experimenting and guiding hand of the Almighty. It was the religion of the circus, not of the church, as such but it was religion as deeply spiritual in It's aspirations, doubt less, and as solemn and reverential as if it had been manifested in other and more orderly form. lt I

Teeth Have Much To Answer For.

From Current Literature.
 It Is to the teeth that the pathologist, should first look for an explanation of those emotional crises in the lives of all of us which assume nov the form of an exaggeration of the sentiment of roman- tic love, again an intensi1cation of in somnia and sometimes a development of religious sensibility to the boundary line of mania
 In making good this theory the pro- lessor of diseases of the nervous system in the Western Reserve university, Df. Henry s. Upson, ascribes many of the ordinary cases of nervous wreck met with in daily experience to a misunder- standing of the dental mechanism of man. Not only is toothache the cause but disease of a dental nature involving no pain whatever to the victim works It's havoc and leads men and women to madhouses, domestic miseries and every kind of excess.

resenting a woman not being willing to take the trouble properly to manage her own household. l have been there and know that in home where there are less than five servants the mistress needs no housekeeper if she is willing to exert the amount of energy credited to the average woman.
 My duties are little more than wo- man should do every day of her life if she has house or a housekeeping apartment in New York. Every woman owes 1t to her family, even when that family com prises only herself and her husband, to see to 1t that the food is good, well cooked and attractively served. That is all do, but because I do 1t thoroughly and the men for whom do it are accustomed to sit down to carelessly prepared and served dinners they think me a worker of domestic miracles.
 "The only special feature that I boast of Is rendering an account of the cost of every article bought for my use. It makes no difference whether they are paid for in cash or charged on bill, the cost has to come to me.
 My reason for this is very simple and comes from my own experience as a housekeeper. If there chanced to be a dishonest servant in the house my coming would give her the best opportunity she could wish to tack on to the regular ex- penses. Or if the butcher or the caterer should be dishonest, knowing of the din- ner, he could charge about all the extras he cared to without arousing the suspicion of the average bachelor.
