May Shorten Time.


There is a possibility, however
that the running time between Be-
midi and the Twin Cities can be
shortened. This was pointed out at
meeting this morning of a COM
mittee of the Commercial club with
w. H. Gemmell Of the railway COM
pany.
1t was decided at the meeting to
submit written protest against the
service. Mr.. Gemmell agreed to take
this protest up with the Northern Pa
cific company and do all in his power
to secure better service A. P. White
and R. H. Schumacher were appoint
ed to draft the protest.
Decrease One Hour.
It was announced that the railway
company could not at this time put
on Sunday service but that the run
ming time might be decreased one
hour and bring the passengers into
Minneapolis at nine o'clock in the
morning instead of at ten o'clock.
Company Regrets Action.
"The railway company regrets that
it had to take off Sunday trains and
give Bemidji other SERVICE" said G.
A. Walker of the railway company
at a meeting of the Commercial club
last evening.
'"The decrease in SERVICE" said Mr.
Walker, sis due to the depression in
business. The Northern Pacific
abandoned one of it's trains and we
have no trains with which to con-
meet with at this time except the
one that we now connect with, bring
ing the train into St. Paul at ten
thirty in the morning. The passen-
ger service during the past summer
has not meant much to the railway
company, but it is hoped that bust
ness will increase so that Bemidji
will soon get the service that it
should and ought to have"
1t was suggested at the meeting
last night to make overtures to other
railway companies to secure Sunday
trains.

irmed by complete returns. Except
in New York every big voting area
the trend of the elections have been
toward Republicanism. The, third

peared from the eastern states.
Democrats Disappointed.
Democratic leaders are disappoint-
ed over the Republican victories in
Massachusetts, New Jersey, New
York, Ohio and Pennsylvania but
they found solace today in the Mary
land and Kentucky choice of Demo
cratic governors.
The elimination of the Progressive
vote and the defeat of the New York
constitution are the chief straws of
yesterdays election. * H.. :

Suffrage leaders declared today
that their showing was favorable
and that it showed that there was q
popular demand for woman's suffrage
despite the decisive defeat. The SUIT
rage vote indicates that congress
must become the chief battle ground
for a. national suffrage amendment
New York rejected the new con-
stitution framed by a convention
dominated by Elihu Root by the over
whelming majority of 100000. The
state reelected three Republican
congressmen-N. s. Gould in the
36th, B. H. Smell in the 31st and w.
S. Bennett in the 23rd district.

T. B. Cartmell, for thirty-one years,
a wholesale and retail druggist at
Sixth and Madison streets, is about
TO retire from that business and de-
vote his entire attention to the affairs
of The Cartmell Paint and Glass Com
pany, of which concern he is presi-
dent. Fol- some years past the paint
and glass business occupied the rear
Of the building in which Mr. Cart
nell conducted his drug store. but
the paint and glass end grew to such
proportions that there is no longer
room for the drug business. Faced
with the problem whether to continue
the drug store or go into the paint
and glass business on an even larger
scale than IL is now conducted Mr..
Cartmell decided on adopting the lat
ter course. AS "A result one of the
oldest drug stores in the city will.
within short time. pass out of ex-
istence. and the corner il occupied,
will take on another business aspect.
Mr.. Cartmell win place his entire
stock of drugs and goods on immedi-
ate sale offering it to the public, re-
gardless of cost There are no re-
strictions Everybody is invited to
participate, the sale continuing until
the entire stock is sold.
The retiring of Mr. Cartmell as a
druggist is regretted However he
sees a larger field in the paint and
glass business and, his many friends
wish him increased success.
Born in Brandywine hundred, not
more than four miles from Whining
[ ton Mr.. Cartmoll removed to viii
mington in his carly days and enter
ed the employ OF the late Il. T. Dill
worth. at that time engaged in the
drug business at Second and Madi-
son streets. There he learned the
drug business When the Madison
street market for farmers was open
ed. Mr.. Cartmell saw the big business
possibilities in thar thoroughfare
| The result was that he and Mr.. Dill.
worth entered into partnership ant
on March %. 1884, occupied the lit
lie two-story brick store and dwell
ing at the northwest corner of Sixil
and Madison streets. Three years
later MIR. Cartmell bought the build
ing and subsequently purchased Mr.
/ nilworth's interests
From a very small business HI
built up a large trade. In 1890 lie en-
larged the building to its nreson
size. About that time there entere'
into Mr. Cartmell's employ Georg
c. Mckay. considered one Of the les
paint men in the city today. From
clerk i'm charge of the paint depart
ment the latter became secretary an
treasurer Of the Cartmell Paint an
Glass Company when that concer
was organized in 1906 with Mr.. Cart
nell at its head. The paint and glas
business continued to grow and a
this time is going ahead with rapi
strides. With everything farorabl
and bright prospects ahead Mr.. Cart
nell after much thought, decided {
turn his entire building over to tn
paint and glass business and retir

Talks On Cooking, No. 13

The 1880 gas ranges in Wilmington per
manent fixtures
They will remain in their places until super
ceded by other gas ranges of newer patterns and
more modern design. That will be many, many
years from now. But from day to day, month after
month"; year in and year out, the man or the woman
who pays the fuel bill will demand economy in the
kitchen. Economy combined with cleanliness were
the two points that brought the gas range into al
most universal Use wherever gas could be obtained.
Its economy was at once apparent because the
flame could be quickly and easily regulated and
without any previous knowledge or training on the
part of the "head of the kitchen"
Its cleanliness was evidenced because it did
away with coal, ashes and dirt But the Gas Range
went the dirt problem better and through its
simple construction made ii possible for every
ner of the range to be easily and quickly taken
apart and cleaned This is very essential in prepar-
ing sanitary dishes well another point of econ
only since clean burner will consume less gas
than one filled with crumbs of food dust By
keeping the burners clean and sweet all odors
were relegated to the background and gas range
in the kitchen was at once an evidence Of cleanl-
ness and thrift
