DEATHS
DANA ]. ROLLINS

Dana J. Rollins, aged 81 years,
died at Spokane, Wash, April 8,
1909, of rheumatism affecting the
heart. Mr.. Rollins had suffered
with rheumatism for several years.
The remains arrived here Monday,
accompanied by Chas. Collins, a
fellow employee of Dana's in the
Northern Pacific Railway Co. S
offices. The funeral services were
held Tuesday, at 2 p. m. at the
home of o. W. Newcomb, Rev. D.
B. Spencer conducting them.
Dana was a native of River Falls
and spent most of his earlier years
in this city, where his pleasant,
affable disposition made him the
favorite among the younger set,
and his clean, earnest and honest
uprightness won for him the admir-
alton and respect of the older
citizens.
For several years he was employed
in the local depot, under F. P. Aims
worth, and later, under the present
agent, Sherman Davis. When Mr..
Ainsworth assumed the management
of the Bank of Glenwood, Dana &C.
copied a position in that institution
but was there only few months
when an attack of rheumatism forced
him to return home. After partial
recovery he went to Virginia, Mimi,
and worked in the depot at that
place until about two years ago
when he accepted position in the
railway Offices of the Northern
Pacific Company in Spokane, Wash,
where he was employed up to the
time of his death. He was mem

He is survived by his mother

CAB SERVICE IN MEXICO.

Close Tab on the Observation-Disclosures
Kinds of Vehicles and Charges.
an the City Of Mexico is the most
complete inspection of the cab serv-
ice I've ever seen anywhere, said
Col. ]. Nj. Strange of st. Louis.
THE police in the capital of the
sister republic keep such close tab
on the hackmen that it is the rarest
thing for any argument to ever rise
between a cabby and his fare. The
stranger speedily finds out that there
is an easy way of telling the differ
ence of tariffs in the public convey
ances. The cabs are differentiated by
the flags they carry and stripes on the
side Of the vehicle. 1t is a color
scheme Blue cabs are 81 an hour
and red cabs only IS cents. The blue
flag rigs are, of course, a trifle smart
err and have horses a shade better
than the cheaper ones denoted by
the red flag and crimson stripes. Also
the pilgrim from the United State;
must take notice that if the top OF
the carriage is thrown back he must
pay an additional % cents per hour.
Hack inspectors are kept at regular
stations through the city. When a
cab IS seen to leave the railway sta
ton it is stopped by one of these
officials, who takes its number, the
number Of passengers their destina-
ton and the time. This information
goes to the central Office and is re.
corded All this trouble is taken in
the interest Of the public, and that Is
why one gets good service and Is
rarely imposed on by the public jehus

Anglers "Game"

In spite of the fr;gid weather the
dawn of the first day of the fishing
season revealed the banks OF the
two trout streams lined with en-
thusiastic anglers. Last night,
with the arrival of the train, the
real excitement incident to the open
ing of the season began, when every
passenger alighting from the cars
was best eyed by bevy of kids
hawking fish worms, which they
were selling by the can, basket,
bottle or pocket full, and for com
pensation ranging from ten cents 10
a dollar. All during the night bril-
liant camp fires Illuminated the
streams and marked the positions
of shivering bands of Waltons" ly-
inc in wait for the willy trout. The
cold weather and the clearness OF
the water prevented the big scores
of previous opening days but ii
spite OF these handicaps many heavy
trout-from a half pound to two
pounds or over-were landed.
