An inquest was held last week at

xfew miles ont from the town. His
throat was cut from ear to ear, but rs
quite a large sum of money was found

To have been case of suicide. Peter

ami the cause for the rash act (if

Stevens county can justly boast Of an
agricultural population of superior in
teiligence and there is no reason why
our delegates to the State convention
if judiciously chosen, may not take a
prominent part in shaping the action
of the convention. Nothing but will
f;il disinclinatinn on the part of the
farmers should prevent large and
interesting meeting.

severely, and is at present under the
treatment of DR.. Hulburd at the

We have no objection whatever, If
newspapers of neighboring villages,
TO make their columns bright and in
teresting, borrow from the brilliancy
vt THE Sun, provided, of course, they
give US credit for the extracts. But
we must and do protest when jour-
nal steals our wit. and il is copied by
contemporaries, with credit given to
the plagiarist. A case in point oc.
carred recently, where the CARLTON
fonntv Press stole short article
from THE Sun, verbatim, and it was
opted by the Morris Tribune and a
few other papers. several weeks after
it appeared originally in the columns
OF THE SUN, accredited to the said
Carlton County Press. Gentlemen,
you must not attempt to steal oui
thunder.
The village election will be held or
