NEGOTIATIONS WILL
Be CONTINUED
Railroads Inclined to Com pro-
mise on Wage Demands.

New York, Jan. 24.-Although con-
ferences over the railroad wage ques.
ton were continued among the EN-.
ployes' organizations the real work
of arranging a statement of the differ
ences between the Eastern lines and
their men will not be begun for a
day or two.
The meetings of the last few days
were arranged with no expectation on
either side that conclusive results
would be attained. The demands of
the conductors and trainmen now hav.
ing been set before the roads in black
and white basis for further negotia.
lions along definite lines has been es-
tablished. These are to be entered
into in earnest in a few days. Each
road will take up the question with its
own men.
Although some of the companies are
less inclined than others to meet their
men half way a general willingness is
shown to continue the conferences at
length, with the expectation that in
the end concessions will be made to
the dissatisfied employees.

A Curious Ear.

The catfish uses his lungs as an or
gan of hearing. The needless lung be-
comes closed sac filled with air and
commonly known as the swim blad-
der. In the catfish, as in the suckers,
clubs and most brook fish, the air
bladder is large and is connected by a
slender tube, the remains of the ira
chea, to the esophagus. At its front
it fits closely to the vertebral column.
The anterior vertebrate are much en-
larged, twisted together, and through
them passes chain of bones. which
connects with the hidden cavity of the
air. The bladder therefore assists the
ear of the catfish as the tympanun,
and its bones assist the ear of the
higher animals. An ear of this sort
can carry little range of variety in
sound. 1t probably gives only the Inn
preston of jars or disturbances in the
water.

MANY LIVES LOST
IN FRENCH FLOOD
Rivers Still! Rising and Great
Disaster Is Feared.

Paris, Jan. 24-Thirty-o deaths
have already been recorded in the
flooded sections of France. This mum
Der is probably far below the total, as
there is but meager information from
the cities that have suffered damage
The rains have ceased, but the Rhine
Siene, Gard Ardeche and other rivers
continue to rise and spread havoc
throughout Eastern and Southern
France.
The Metropolitan subway in this
city is still partially tied up. Engi
neers examined the subways, includ.
ing the underground section of the
Orleans railway, and express fear that
the walls would collapse causing meal
culable damage. y
The Chablis wine growers have suf.
fered heavy loss. Nearly all their
wine cellars have been flooded In.
tense cold has followed the rains and
there is much suffering among the
hundreds of refugees who have been
deprived OF clothing and shelter by
the destruction of their homes. The
government is sending out all avail.
able supplies of food and tents. The
work of relief is under the direction of
War Minister Brun.
The flood of the Seine river at Paris
threatens to assume the proportions
of a catastrophe. The foundations of
many buildings, and notably the Eiffel
tower, have been infltrated and the
structures are in danger of collapsing.
Half of the surface and subway and
transportation lines have been rem
dered imperative.

PEOPLE FLEE FOR SAFETY
Swiss Town Threatened With Destruc'
ton by Avalanche,


Rome, Jan. ALPHABETICALLY the en-.
tire population of the Swiss town OF
Mache is in flight to escape destruc.
ton in threatened snow avalanche
An immense field of snow overhangs
the town and momentarily threatens
to bury the village.
Reports from Switzerland tell Of an
unprecedented number of avalanches
due to the recent heavy SHOWS, rains
and storms. Scores of mountainside
homes have been destroyed and it is
feared that when complete telegraphic
communication is restored there will
be an unusually heavy death list
Nearly all the we'll known mountain
passes are blocked with snow.
Italian coast towns also report
heavy damage by storms. The coast
in many places is strewn with the
wrecks of vessels, including two small
steamers. Many other steamers are
overdue and anxiety prevails in all
shipping circles. A dozen corpses
have already been washed upon the
shore

Oil" 1t was a strong appeal to all
christians not to hide their talents,
but use what they have.
During the Sunday school hour,
Mr.. Hulett gave a most interesting
and helpful blackboard talk to the
scholars on the subeject, The Two
Ways" showing the Importance of
boys and girls choosing the right
way, which leads to life everlasting.
The evening service crowded the
church. The chorus choir sang
heartily and Mr.. Woodmansee's solo
was very much appreciated. We
hope he will come again and sing
many times during the week.
The speakers subject was Who is
Responsible" and the address was
one of the strongest addresses we
ever heard on mans responsibility"
Mr.. Hulett believes in speaking
the truth plainly, but out of big
heart of love.
Tbs services will continue this
week. If you haven't attended
yet, you don't know the good
things you are missing. Remem-

QUIT ON TAFT'S REQUEST
New York County Committeeman Ter
der destinations.

New York County Committeeman Ten
der designations.
New York, Jan. 24.-Washington
dispatches say that the designations
of Chairman Herbert Parsons and
Treasurer James R. Sheffield of the
Republican county committee of New
York county is understood to have
been the fruit of "tactful request"
from the present occupant of the
White House.
AS the head of his party the pres
ident is understood to have been d:
tressed over the general political 81
uation in New York, particularly with
reference to the alleged relations of
Messrs. Parsons and Sheffield with
the American Sugar Refining CON-
pany, commonly called the sugar trust.
There is strong possibility, it is
believed in political circles, that Lloyd
c. Griscom, former ambassador to
Italy, will succeed Mr.. Parsons.

HUNDREDS in MAN HUNT
Missouri Train Robbers May Soon Be
Captured.

st. Louis, Jan. 24.-From the broken
timber in the western part of st.
Louis county it is expected momen-
tarily that news will come of the ar
rest of the four train robbers who held
up a Missouri Pacific train at Eureka,
st. Louis county, thirty miles from ST..
Louis. Since the news of the robbery
was received men have been hurried
to the scene of the robbery and start
ed in pursuit of /, the robbers. Now

hounds have Joined in the man hunt.
The authorities of the Missouri Pa.
cific have the entire force of their
special police at work, all the secret
service operatives of the United
States government with headquarters
in st. Louis are on the trail, the po-
lice force of St. Louis is helping and
the sheriffs of three counties have
Joined the search with posses of depu-
ties. In grim earnest the man hunt
has started and the officers say it will

OPERA TONS Of
The BEEF TRUST
Government Agents Probe
Methods Of Business.
HOW PRICES ARE FIXED

Armour, Swift and Morris Vote as d.
rectors of the National Packing
Company and in This Way, 1t Is
Alleged, Trade Is Restrained and
Competition Killed in Violation of
the Sherman Antitrust Law.
Chicago, Jan. 24.-The National
Packing company, which is said to be
the special mark to be aimed at by
the proposed national investigation of
an alleged beef trust, was organized
under the New Jersey laws in March,
1908, and acquired the following pack
Ing concerns:
G. H. Hammond company, with
plants at Chicago, Omaha and Ham
mond, Ind; Hammond Packing COM
pany, with plants at St. Joseph, NO.;
Omaha Packing company, with plants
at Omaha and Chicago; Anglo-Amer-
lean Provision company, with plant
at Chicago; United Dressed Beef CON-
pany, with plant at New York; Fowler
Packing company, with plant at Kan
sss City, and Fowler Bros, limited,
with plant at Liverpool, Eng.
The combined plants do business
of about $150,000,000 a year and the
company has a capital stock of $751;
100000.
According to the information of the
government it was originally the plan
OF the big packers who control the
National Packing company to merge
all their concerns with it. This plan,
II is declared by officials Of the de-
partment of justice, fell through when
the original prosecution of the pack
ers, which was abruptly. terminated by
Judge Humphreys Immunity bath"
decision, was begun.
Regulates Prices of Meat.
Although the National Packing COM
pany failed to take in the other big
packing concerns the government be-
lieves it serves the same purpose so
far as the regulating of the prices of
meat is concerned.
Its directors, the big men in the big
packing concerns, the information of
the department is, meet regularly to
agree upon prices and trade condi-
lions that shall govern the operations
of the National Packing company.
The government has no objection to
make to this proceeding in itself, but
it is alleged that through such action
the directors also practically fix the
prices and establish the trade condi-
lions for the big houses of Armour &;
Co., Morris &, Co. and Swift & Co.
It is declared by the government
Mcials that when J. Ogden Armour,
Louis F. Swift and Ira N. Morris vote
as directors of the National Packing
company, on propositions concerning
its operations, they have tacitly
agreed that the same decision that
they make as directors shall govern
them in running their outside business
concerns.
In this way, it is alleged by the gov
eminent agents, trade is restrained
and prices of fresh meats fixed, in
violation of the Sherman antitrust
law.

The COMET HAS ARRIVED
d. VISIBLE TO BEM|DJANS
Is Fiery Monster, With Long TALL
Was First Discovered in South
Africa.

It's there-right over west, a
little above the horizon, every
evening, after shutdown and about
the time you stroll down the street
with your teeth imbedded in a fine
cigar-that star with a long, fairy
tail, resembling the light stretching
out from the headlight of locomo-
tive. The comet has come to town,
and there be those of sensitive dis
position, including our business
manager, who have been taking an
inventory of their actions during
the past few months as to their
chances in the next world should
that ball of fire hit the earth with a
dull, sickening thud.
The new comet, which was re-
Gently discovered in Africa, was at
first thought to be but a reflection
on the ocean of some of Mr.. Roose-
velt's firearms exploits. over in the
jungles of the dark continent"
But wireless messages br ught word
that Teddy" wasen't cunning after
dark, and that the mysterious celes-
tial visitor was in reality a comet,
with fashionable train, travelling
at the speed allowed by the Bemidji
ordinances for chaufeurs, several
millions of miles minute, and that
it would grow brighter each even.
ing
The abortive star was first
noticed by Bemidjians Friday
evening, and the one who saw it
first had just come down from the
northern woods and had been
taking something for his stomach's
sake and he said nothing about it,
not being quite certain whether
there were five of the comets or
only three However, as several
others mentioned the phenomena
next morning, everybody went
searching for the sky rover, and
found it.
Whose comet this is that has
strayed away from the pasture
where such stellar lights are herded
is not just plain. Anyway, it's up
there, and could be seen very
