As soon as it was learned that Nc
Garigle mad been seen in Duluth. st.
Paul detectives, not to be outdone,
started in pursuit of young fellow who
looked like Tascott and scared him so
badly he shot himself. Since this unfor-
tunate event they have also discovered
that Fullgraff, the Doodle alderman of
New York, is hiding IN ST. Paul to avoid
testifying against Sharpe. Now if these
secret service men will only scout
around the city little and find old man
Bender the reputation of st, Paul will
be vindicated. In this connection we
would remark that a young gentleman,
former resident of Wichita, had an
experience with a detective in New
Mexico few days ago, growing out of
his striking resemblance to the famous
Tascott, only we don't want to appear to
rival the Minnesota twin city in its race
for fame.

The Yankees down east are proverbial
for their smartness, but they made mis-
take in sending the report into the sugar
and syrup districts that the deep SHOWS
and hard freezes of the late winter and
early spring periods had practically
destroyed the maple syrup crop for this
year. That wont go out here: there are
too many of us from back east who re-
member sugar orchards and jolly times
enjoyed at the camps to be gulled by
such specious reasons. And instead of
curtailing the sorghum crop it will, or
would if true, stimulate larger plant
ing. The statement mentioned was
evidently a slipsus tonguee.

The first canal projected on the
American continent can now be bought
very cheap. 1t is said to have been sug.
gested by William Penn in 1899 before
there was a canal in operation even in
England. A Harrisburg, Penn, cores.
pondent of New York contemporary
says of the Union canal, which is now
offered for sale:
1.-The route on this canal was surveyed
by David Rittenhouse, the astronomer,
and DR.. William Smith, Provost of the
University of Pennsylvania, in 1852. 1t
extended from the SchuykilI river, near
Reading, to the Susquehanna, at the pres
ent site of Middletown, Dauphin county.
1t was the first link IN a proposed chain of
water communication between the Della
ware river and Lake Erie, project SO
gigantic for that early day, when canals
and even turnpikes were unknown, that
the projectors were believed by the people
to be crazy" The railroads have super
seeded the canal; it is no longer profitable
and therefore its occupation is gone
Abandoned as means of transportation,
its chief value would now appear to be
that OF relic of early enterprise.

A Busy Week.

With the regular run of county
news matter, proceedings of the board
of commissioners, ETC., this has been a
very busy week for the printer, and we
couldn't find time to attend the exercises
at the school-house. This was not from
lack of interest, however. Back east, we
believe, the country editors duties are to
ride about the county and make up lies,
go fishing, etc. ; but 1t isn't that way out
here, just yet. The more there Is gong
on in town, the more must he stay in the
Office and paw type. Particularly is this
the case since it became necessary for the
"sassiety" editor to remain at home and
devote her time and attention to concill-
ating the fighting editor.
