IFrom stan Correspondence


HoBoKEN. N. j., Jan. 1S.-New
Jerseys new ninety-cent gas rate was
taken before the courts today.
Supreme Court Justice Minturn
granted to the Public Service Gas
Company writ of certiorari to re-
view the decision OF the State Board
of Public Utility Commissioners order
ing that rate in the Passaic division
and advising a similar reduction
throughout all other divisions in the
State.
The writ will not act as stay
to the company's action in complying
with the boards order.
Frank Bergen. general counsel for
the Public Service Corporation, said:
"It is the company's duty. of course,
to adhere to it's agreement and to fur
nlsh gas at the S0-cent rate until the
matter is finally determined by the
courts.
we are quite willing to give the
scheme a trial. but, If our belief is
correct, we will not be able to earn
even the per cent that the Public
Utility Board decided was just
profit"
The object of the action is to test
the validity of the principle by which
the Public Utility Board made its val
uation of the Coz -2any's property.
Valuation Too Low.
In placing the total value of the
gas company as less than s5,OO0,000.
the commissioners did not regard

The company will endeavor to
show that its real value is no less
than $3.50, 900.

Edward Eckert Is alive today be-
cause he talks in his sleep.
| After making an ingenious arrange-
ment for ending his life in Staats's
Hotel. East Orange. he called out SO
loudly while in somnolent state
that he was discovered. He was
slowly being asphyxiated when por-
ter, who tapped at his door, heard
him mumbling about how he would
soon be dead.
The porter, Peter Negro, thought
he smelled gas and called the hotel
proprietor They broke down the
door and found Eckert with blan-
ket over his head and under it a
small iron pipe through which gas
was flowing from the jet to his
mouth. Eckert was revived, and is
now a prisoner in the Orange Memo
rial Hospital.
When Eckert decided to end his life,
early this morning. he made elaborate
preparations, so that he wouldn't be
disturbed in the act. He took
heavy blanket from the bed, cut two
holes in it. and through one he passed
a shoestring. making it fast to the
jet Then he took piece of iron pipe.
connected 1t with the Jet, passed 1T
through the other hole and under the
blanket to the bed. He crawled, head
and all under the blanket and with it
fastened tightly over his face he put
the small elbow Of the pipe in his
mouth.
Negro Hears Mumbling.
His attempt at suicide was getting
along nicely, until Negro called him.
at 7.30 O'Clock.
"rll soon be dead: I'll soon be
Dead same in mumbles from inside
the room, so Negro went after Stats.
They found Eckert unconscious.
They shut off the gas and called Ser

picked up DR. Elias Bodenweiser,
veterinarian, and the quartet revived
Eckert. Then they summoned DR..
Henry p. Orton. of 81 William street.
Eickert was again conscious when DR..
Orton arrived. ~
Asked for Cigarette.
Hello. doc. give me cigarette,
greeted the would be suicide.
The doctor didn't Think he was in
any condition, to smoke cigarettes,
and he told him so. Furthermore,
he ordered that Eckert be taken to
the hospital. Eckert didn't like that
at an. and he said a great many
things about doctors in general and
Dr. Orton In particular He grew SO
irritable that Staats called in Re-
serveman Edward Williams who
took Eckert to the hospital. Williams
had some more trouble with him at
the hospital
Eckert would not tell why he at
tempted to take his life. He is sepa-
rated from his wife. who is living in
Montclair.

Weather Not Crouch Cause.

American Magazines: Good days and
bad days exist only in your own head.
The weather has nothing to do with it.
Each day is What you make it for
yourself. Bad weather is only an un-
fortunate opinion.
Suppose it is raining pitchforks. You
get word that your salary has been
doubled or that a forgotten uncle has
left you $1,000, 900. What do you care
| about the weather then? Or. suppose
the person you love is dying. Unex-
pectedly a turn for the better comes.
The doctor. says your dear one will
live. Whattif it is hotter than Tophet?
1T is a good, day, a great day, a<happy
day. 49,
It's what you think and feel about
pit that makes each day what it is.
| You, within yourself, can make each
day.. every day, a good day. Put down
in the notebook of your soul the poet
Runeperg's thought:
Each day is a life"
When you get up in the morning
throw back your shoulders, take a deep
breath. Meet the new day like a man.
Say to yourself:
"Another day-another life!"
For all we know it may be the only
day we'll ever have. Lets make it the
best day we car. Let's strive to see
that it is a day worth while. Let's
move a step forward in our work.
Let's do all the good we can. Let's
get all the happiness we can-today.
Right now is the.only time you a
control. Yesterday is a record. To
morrow is a secret. Today is yours,
is mine.

of Fargo, h lodge to be known as
Shiloh, No. 105. Owing to storms and
lack of postal facilities the returns to
the grand secretary did not reach st.
Paul in time for the annual communi-
cation and Jan. IA, 1874, a charter was
issued. The signers of, the petition
were, Samuel G. Roberts, Alexander

These brothers had dimits. The other
signers were Gordon j. Keeney, George

The charter named Bro. w. H

History OF Shiloh
Lodge No. lit Was
!. Organized in 1872
Dr.. 5. J. Hill Has Kindly Furnished Data of Early History Of
First Masonic Lodge Organized in the State Of
North Dakota, Since Statehood

DR.. S. J. Hill has very kindly
placed at the disposal Of The Forum
the text of a history of Shiloh No. l
(when instituted in territorial. days
1t carried the number los, to conform
with the numbers prescribed by the
grand body of the then territory of
Dakota) and from it this story Of the
lodge from institution to the present
time has been formed, DR.. Hill says
n history has been prepared from
notes found in the desk of his pre-
decessor. secretary of the lodge, the
late Frank j. Thompson. Evidently
the compilation Of the notes in the
form they were found in the filing
box in MI. Thompson's desk led to the
conclusion that he had in mind in
the penning Of a history of the lodge.
Closing a prelude to the proposed
history Of Shiloh lodge the following
sentence was used: Fargo was born
in the timber and the white tents
that dotted the woods along the banks
Of the Red river and back on the open
proclaimed it's birth and shone above
the rich soil alluvial like jeweled
symbols of another era.
The churches came and each was
selected irrespective Of it's dogma or
creed, the school, the civic organize
tons and the fraterna1.
Sept 2, 1872 a few who were in
terested in Masonic work met in the
old Headquarters for the purpose of
organizing a Masonic lodge. Through
the kindness of Bro. Gorden J. Keeney
a copy of the original minutes Of its
first w preliminary meetings is sup
piled.
