How Bells Are Tuned.

When certain bells in a chime
produce discord they can be tuned.
The tone Of a bell may be raised or
lowered by cutting off a little metal
in the proper places. To lower the
tone the bell tuner puts the bell in
his lathe and reams it out from the
point where the swell begins nearly
down to the rim As the work pro
ceeds he frequently tests the note
with a tuning fork, and the moment
the right tone is reached he stops
the roaming. To raise the tone, Oh
the contrary, he shaves off the lower
edge Of the bell, gradually lessenine
or fattening the beyel, in order to
shorten the bell, for of two bells OF
equal diameter and thickness the
shorter will give the higher note.
a notable instance Of bell tuning
was at Lausanne, where twelve bells
in three neighboring steeples pro
duced only seven distinct notes and
produced a most curious discord.-

CENSUS STARTS SOON
MUST WORK LIVELY

H. X. Nichols and Ole Tollefson will
take the census in Dickinson. On &C.
count of being able to speak the German
language it is likely that Mr.. Tollefson
will have the 4th ward and the south
side ward as his territory.
The taking of the census begins April
is. and the work in the country districts
is to be completed in 30 days. In the
cities the making of the count is to be
completed in a shorter time. Enumera-
tors in the country districts will have a
considerable distance to cover and are
required to work IL hours a day. The
census in this state will doubtless show
a large increase in the population over
the last state census which was taken in
1905. when the population of the slate
was returned as some 437. 900. 1t is be-
lived the census this year will show
somewhere in the neiRhborhood of three
quarters of a million people living in
North Dakota. West of the Missouri
river in the counties of Adams. BILLINGS,

The last desperate attempt to swing
the Middlesex probate court proceedings
against Dan Russell of Dickinson, N.
D., vas made on Monday. April 4
when Attorney Robert Mason began his
argument, He flayed the ranchman as
Jim Russeau. and declared he believed
him ,deznented. He charged that
Frank Morton Of MeIrose. an insurance
man. visited the ranchman in North
Dakota and induced Rousseau to put in
an appearance az the missing heir. He
charged that Morton's news wat the first
the ranchman ever heard Of the
Russells, and that Morton gave him
information.
Attorney Mason, in his argument,
severely criticised the ranchman's wife,
declaring she had been dilisent in her
aid of the claimant, but that she failed
to take the short step from her court seat
to the witness stand to defy the state
ment of Josephine Bennett, that Mrs.
Russell told her Dan was going to send
photos to his father in northern New
York. Mason characterized Theodore
Hayes. the ranchman. who testified
against the claimant. as a careful,
truthful man. Mason emphasized the
testimony of Hayes that the claimant
said if he died ne wanted to be buried
in a Catholic cemetery.
Lawrence Brown. Dan Russell's former
helper, who he b%efriended, and who
turned against him, was also lauded.
and Mason put much stress on his story
that Dan Russell was supposed to have
told him of leaving home in northern
New York.
Josephine Bennett was touched upon
lightly
Mrs. Sarah Rousseau, the alleged
mother of Dan, was first knocked al the
mother of THAT ignorant claimant"
Later she was praised in aowery Eng

Jim" to change bis ways and come

Boston Transcript which gives a detailed
summary of the remarkable Russell trial:
when an unknown lawyer from The
Bad Lands of North Dakota State Sena-
tor L. A. Simpson, came to Boston last
year with the avowed intention of
bringing forth q claimant under the
will Of Daniel Russell of Melrose, news
paper readers either sighed YEARLY or
openly sneered at this mans effrontery.
But this contest has occupied over 120
days in court. and now that it is near
ing its close the public are not so sure.
Certainly it has not bored them.
Whether they believed that the claimant
has made out his case or not. all agree
that it is in some ways the most re-
markable Identification case on record
in this state or any other state.
The trial has been marked by spark
ling clashes between the attorneys for
both sides. The trial lawyers for VIM.
Russell have been Robert W. Mason and
Thomas Proctor. although the respond
ent's case was prepared primarily by
Berry & Upton aided by a number of
Pinkerton detectives. Against this able
force, Leslie A. Simpson, a youthful
looking state senator from Dickinson.
N. D., has stoutly urged the claim of
the petitioner.
Mr.. Simpson has had the assistance
of Nelson L. Sheldon, but he has tried
the a practically singlehanded
against a quartet of successful and
seasoned lawyers who are all familiar
with the Massachusetts, law. Simpsons
contest against odds so powerful
has all along been only secondary to
the chief issue before the court, and
his work has received the highest praise
for the skill, adroitness and care with
which he has prepared and conducted
the case"
Senator Simpson. the Boston papers
of last week say, has been loudly de-
claring that he has positive evidence
that William Russell is to. recognize
the new claimant as his brother. His
persistence in this statement has caused
great comment. Senator Simpson also
made these remarks on the situation:
'tIt is peculiar that a Pinkerton de-
tective named Armstrong, who was
missing for six weeks. reappeared at
the Quincy House simultaneously with
the arrival of the Fresno man.
There is another matter that may
or may not have a bearing on the case.
Edward Frentz, who told at great
lenteh in a morning newspaper of what
he claimed to recognize as proofs that
the Fresno man is the real Daniel Blake
Russell, made not the slightest reference
to the mole which the latter bears on
his chin. The Fresno man has ex-
planned that the mole resulted from a
pimple that developed following his
departure from home. That may sound
plausible to some persons, but it does
not to me. wonder why Frentz YER
looked it. Frentz took a trip to the
Pacific coast last October.
my client. who is the real Daniel
Blake Russell, called at the Quincy
house on the evening of the day that
this Fresno man arrived. On entering
the lobby he was spotted by Detective
Armstrong, the Pinkerton man who has

trying to explain.

WELL DRESSED
 MAN IN TROUBLE
Sam Abeles, of Little Rock, Charged With Attempting to Pass q Worthless Check
 Here.

A we'll dressed white man giving his name as Sam Abeles, of Little Rock, was arrested in Henry Marks Clothing store last night about g o'clock, by Patrolman Satterfield, at the instance of a clerk of the firm stating that he was attempting to pass forged check. The man had check for $12.50 on the Arkansas Cotton Oil Company. He first at tempted to get the value of the check at the shoe store of Leverenz and Trulock, and after failing there went to Henry Marks place where his ar- rest occurred. The man seemed to be taking the stores in order as the Henry Marx store is near the Lev erenz-Trulock shoe house. He has been here about month and has been in the branch office of Chi cago firm, since making his home in the city.
 Abeles was carried to headquarters where he was locked up awaiting an investigation. Abeles says he is not the man who presented the check but that a companion tried to secure the money on same. He was identified howey- CT, by the clerk who waited on him. Abeles has been working for the Gre dit Tailoring Company at No. no Pine street

10 My Friends:

tO MY rTlcuuS.
 I have just returned from a four weeks canvass of the other counties of this district.
 In every section of this district our friends are active and hopeful.
 We are not forced to adopt the tao tics of those who oppose us by claiming here we are strong on the other counties and when there claim we will sweep this county.
 I say to you now, that we are strong in every county in this district, and We will win our fight by big odds.
 But few more days remain, so don't be deceived by wild and reck- less claims made by the ward healer but each of you who believe in fair play get busy and do your part and we will have the greatest victory for the cause of right and purer politics you have ever witnessed.
 Again say, be of good cheer, keep up the fight and have nc fear of re. suits. We are right in this fight and are going to be an easy winner. Yours for success, T. HAvIS. NIXON.

SO0N TO OPEN
 WALNUT STREET Two Blocks, South of Sixth Avenue Paved and Work
 Being Pushed.
CREOSOTED BLOCKS
Are Most Attractiye-MOre Paving District May Result From
 Present One.

Good progress is being made by the crew at work paving Walnut and Olive streets in Paving Distritc No. 26 and during the past week two blocks of the twenty-six to-, be paved in that District, were finished. Creo- soted blocks have been laid between Sixth and Eighth avenues on Walnut street and that part of the street would have been thrown open to traffic yesterday had the manhole covers arrived in time to be placed.
 The good weather of the past ten days has been favorable and the work which was delayed at intervals from time to time because of unfayorable weather conditions, was pushed. In few days a part of the newly pav- ed thoroughfare will be thrown open and autoists will be given their first opportunity of testing the smooth and inviting pavement.
 Fourteen car loads of creusoted blocks have already arrived here from the Aver and Lord Tie Con- pany's plant at Grenada, Miss, and before the paving in the District is completed more than one hundred car loads of blocks will be shipped into Pine Bluff. The blocks are being laid on a foundation of con- crete, five inches in depth, and are laid at an angle of forty-five degrees to the curb lines. By laying the blocks at this angle the engineers figure that 1t increases their life from fifteen to twenty per cent.

White Man Saved By The Eagle Eye" of Street
 Car MOtorman.
SUICIDE OR ACCIDENT?
Unidentified Man Pulled From Under Street Car Platform and
 Hurries Away.

A white man had narrow escape from death on South Main street near Eighth avenue, early last night, while lying on the street car track, with. it is thought, the intention of ending his life under the wheels of the speeding car. The "eagle eye" and alertneSs of the mOtorman, who, when piercing the dense fog saw the body of the man lying across the
 track with his face turned down. ward and brought his car to a standstill just as the front trucks of the car pressed against the mans body. If the car had moved another inch the man would have been ground into pieces.
 to a sudden stop, several people were on the scene to view what they thought would be the mangled re- mains of man. The man was drag ged from beneath the front platform. When once on his feet he pulled his hat close over his face and with stern and horrifying dramatic air muttered some unintelliggible curses on his luck and hurried away in the
 London fog. He WAS unidentified and his name was not learned by the conductor or motorman in charge of the car. The bystanders and others who hurried to the scene were start led at the coolness of the man, whose actions, after he had passed through the terrifying ordeal, were that of a who who cared nothing for his life. Some thought that the curses of the man were pertaining to Hove lost or dejected,' while others thought that failure in money matters prompted the mans frightful actions. The man wore very good clothes and was of splendid appearance. 1t was thought at first that the central figure of the excitement was possibly toper, who len on the tracks and was unable to rise, but on his arising it was easily seen that he was not intoxicated. Af- ter crossing the street the man was hidden from the light of the car by the dense fog and soon disappeard. The conductor attempted to follow. but only to be confronted by the impenetrable darkness
