4- h femid mm. i KAISER & (JttKKJ-V, PnbUsnen. BEMIDJI. MINNESOTA. After a woman succeeds fn getting the wedding ring where she wants it she begins to say what she means. A bachelor says that love Is a com blaation of diseasesan affection of the heart and an inflammation of the brain. There was a remarkable gathering at the funeral of Dr. J. S. Trexler, at Kntztown, Pa. Before his death h* provided that every man attending his funeral should hare a free dinner, and over a thousand persons availed them selves of his offer at the two leading hotels, where arrangements had been made to feed the multitude. Harry Mangum and Jim Robinson, two colored men, disputed over a game f craps in Jackson, Tenn. Mungum drew a pistol and Robinson fled, pu saed by the other. After Mangum had fired two shots he fell dead from heart disease. The intended victim is re garded with awe. and it is believed ho was saved by a providential mir acle. "Don't wateh the clock," was Mr. Hdtaon's advice to a young man who recently asked him how to succeed. Profoundly significant is that old joke about the laborer who loft his pickax hanging is the air at the stroke of noon. A hanging pickax is the fittest rablem for a confirmed clock-watcher and toe pickax hangs always In the air, never digs out a path for him to advance upon. Earl PltzwUliam of England, who began hks 87th year a few days ago, has sat forty-four years in the house of lords and received his training as a partiamontarlan in the hou.se of com mons, which ho entered sixty-five years age as a young man of 22. The earl, who Is active in spite of his great ago, has been for some years the oldest of ttw Knights of the Garter, which dec oration he received from Lord Palmer 8tn early In the '60s, and he is also to years tbo oldest knight companion, although he has not held that decora tion as long as the Duke of Cambridge, who received bis blue ribbon from Wil liam IV. When Is a cigarette not a cigarette? When it is a pipe. The answer to the conundrum was given by English magistrates. The taking of a tobacco pipe Into a certain mine was prohib ited. A partly smoked cigarette was found In a worbxnan's pocket The man was arraigned and fined. The Judges held that a paper charged with tobacco was a pipe within the mean tog of the rule. It was an Instance of applied common sense. Human lite Its of more value than literal construc tion. The petty court was merely il lustrating a working principle observ d in tribunals of a more august or ganization and a larger jurisdiction. The Americas boy 's ahead of the English boy, in the judgment of Sir Thomas Llpton, because he gets a bet ter chance to show what is in him. In America the managers of largo con cerns are often very youthful. In Eng land their youth would bo a disqualifi cation, since there a roan must look old before he Is thought to look wise. Sli Thomas believes that to be "a great error of policy In the affairs of a na tion, a business firm or a family." H himself camo to this country when was fifteen years old. He declares hl experience here "the best commercial training I ever had?' and holds that "11 would be a good thing to send every English boy to America when he it seventeen, and to keep him there for a couple of years." This is generous and even flattering to us, but Sit Thomas' countrymen may find a flaw to the argument, reasoning from theii point of viewthat after the English hoy bad been hero two years they might not be able to get him back. Arizona is interested and the camp of Dos Cabeeas is in a fever of ex citement over the discovery of a new placer fields in the southern part ol Arizona, which are so extensive and rich that a small army of prospector* expect to become rich.

Bt Paul, Nov. 23. Gov. Van Sant yesterday sent out to the governors of North Dakota, Montana, Idaho and Washington letters stating the facte HO far as he has ascertained them with re gard to the attempted consolidation of the Northern Pacific and Great North ern railroads, and asking for their opinion as to what action should be undertaken* The governor declined to give out the text of the letter, and declined to state anything more than Jts general purport, as given above. Should the other governors be favorable to united action. It Is probable that a conference will he called for an early date, andIt win very likely be beld in St. Paul, al though it Is possible that It might be called at Helena, since that is about half-way between this city and Olym p1a or Boise. It is not improbable that the consol idation may first be attacked the federal court. There are several, ways In which this could be done and it re mains for the attorney general to In vestigate and determine which Is the most likely to be successful. The mode of procedure will not be determined until ample consideration has been given the subject by the legal authori ties of the state. BiiU May Retire From Northern Pa cific Directorate. A New York telegram says: "According to a Wall street report, believed to be based oh good authori ty, certain changes In the Northern Pacific directorate are to be made In view of the agitation In Minnesota against the. Joint operation of thft Northern Paeifle and Great Northern railroads. Influential interests in the orgaxtization of the Northern Securities company said that, while they believed that the company's plans for controll ing the Northern Pacific and Great Northern railroads could not be upset through legal i roceedings, based on allegations that they conflicted with anti-consolidation laws of the different states, some changes might be forced. It was held by these interests that there was a question as to whether President Hill of the Great Northern railway, under a strict interpretation of the present law, had an unques tioned right to be a member of the board of dlreotore of the Northern Paelfls railroad. The same doubt ex isted as to tha right .of E. H. Hani man, chairman of "the Union Pacific, to be a member of the Northern Pa efflo beard. It was asserted that it was not Impossible that both officers misrht retire from the Northern Pacific board." RecelveTftlilp Mny Be A1JCI1. A srecial telegmm from New York to the Minneapolis Times says: "Nothing has ever stirred- the finan cial depths of this city ae the pub lished announcement that Gov.

Under the outward calm of Wall street there existed greater alarm In the private offices of the giant trust managers than bas been felt there since the frightful stock panic of last May. "A way was found at last by the en emies of thj? Northern Securities to smesb rhe railroad trust Just organ ised in the Northwest with so much care. J. P.

'But.' said the lawver, 'any citisea of the-State of Minnesota may apply, through the attorney general of hia state, to have receivers appointed for the Great Northern and for the North era Pacific companies on the ground that their controlling stockholders have entered Into a conspiracy to violate the laws under which the roads are Chartered. Vlslb'e evidence of this conspiracy Is seen In the Northern Se curities compenv. A court of Inquiry wou'd be forced to act on such a prop osfttcn.

The famous and much-talked-of camp of the striking union miners that has been localed about a quarter of a mile south of NortonviHe, in the southern part of this ifjuncy, is a thing of the past. There is nothing now !eft to mark the rendezvous of those who defied the of ficers and even the courts and gave the state and county authorities so much trouble for the past two months, save auh heaps, straw that was U3ed for beds, holes in the ground made by tent stays and other marks of debris incident to camp life. All of the camp ers on whom the sun rose yesterday morning, with the exception of a very few who escaped the officers, are pris oners behind the bars of the county Jail, charged by County Jadge Hall with a "breach of the peace, usdawful ly assembling and banding, together, tfcerebysoaking the camp a ^Menace am! Terror to the public peace." The four large tents, with all the camp paraphernalia, were captured yesterday and brought in with the prisoners. A special train left Madisonville at 6:30 a. m. yester day carrying County Judge HaH, Sher iff John H. Hanklne, Deputies James Thomas and Samuel Jennings, also Gen. Murray, his aides, Capt. Kilts of Owensboro and Capt. Gordon of Frank fort, and Captains Powers and Strang with their Madisonville and Hopklns ville companies. The train took the siding at NortonvKle. Judge Hall, the sheriff and his deputies got into a con veyance and drove" to the camp, a quarter of a mile distant On arriv ing at the camp it was found that all the men save twenty or thirty had left, taking with them all the Arms and Ammunition. All who were present Judge Hall or dered at once arrested. The four tents were soon torn down, loaded on wagons and hauled to NortonvUHe, where they were packed In a box car that was brought along for that purpose. When the time came to remove the prisoners to the tram, they refused to budgo, saying that the officers would have to move them, which one of the deputies proceeded promptly to do. Stepping down, he picked one of the men up and shouldered him as though he was a sack of flour. The officer was not very particular about the way ne carried the prisoner, and Just as he was hi ^he act of throwing .him over Into the wagon, the man begged to be allowed to walk. The others seeing that there was to be no foolishness on the part of the officers agreed to walk also. THE MARKETS. Lntrttt Quotation* From Grain and Live Stock Center*. St. Paul, Nov. 26.
