private letter received in New York
from well-known American authorsHs
now in Paris says: "No end OF people
are talking about the American colony in
Paris, and q good deal OF the gossip is
not quite fit for the ears OF debutantes.
Il is a lamentablo fact that the most in-
teresting people are nearly always those
who have gone of shade in the moral
scale. This morning, for instance, as /
was coming out Of the Bon Marche, l
noticed the eyes OF let OF French
women .urrsd toward certain Victoria
drawn by two sorrel ponies and driven
by very oorreot-loobing little English
man. There WAS o aaRp and dash
about the equipment which attracted at.
tention, even in this city of superb turn
| outs. On the seat of the Victoria reclined
woman in well-fiiting gown, with her
gloyed hands idly crossed, and a look of
lauguid interest in her lustreless gray
eyes. She was thin and apparently not
in good health, but every detail of her
attire from her little red boots TO the tip
OF ker well-fttiEg gloves was perfect.
She raised one Of her gloyed fingers,
bsokoned commissioraire to her, gave
an order in English and resumed her
languid pose in the carriage.
Nobody knew her in the throrg of
Frsnchmsn, and doubt very much il
any American would recognize her.
When I saw her first / was quite girl,
and she was rolling down Broadway IN a
big bGrouche behind Colonel Fisk's black
horses. At that time Josie Mansfield was
big, looking woman, already
talked about THROUGH the suicide OF q
man in California who was in love with
her, and made notorious through the
friendship OF Fisk.
"After the death Of Fisk she disap-
pasreG, and all sorts Of rumorB were
ahoat. One day people would read Of
her death 10 some New Jersey village,
aud the following day sensational story
about her sudden disappearance in Per
sian harem would crop out. On one occa

out, however, that during all this tim,
sine was living in Paris, and she is living
here still, with very comfortably fur

He reads the papers. Consequently when the
two confidence men who heeced an Illinois
farmer out of 5000 the other day attempted to
work one of them at Laporte, he cleverly led
them to think he was their victim and then put
the sheriff on their track. They were arrested
and will 90 back to the scene of their Illinois

does they will let him alone in the future.

No Spring Shooting.

The proposed game law allowing
spring shooting of geese and ducks has
not passed the legislature. and it il
doubtful if this feature of the lay il
adopted. There is IN UGH opposition in
sporting circles to the allowi ng Of spriue
shooting. and M active effort is being
made to defsst it. 1t is certain. at best,
that this provision of the law will not
10 into force in time to allow sprin.
shooting this year. The killing ofa few
birds in spring destroys large amount
OF sport in the fall and the hunting Of
the waterfowl at this season drives
away most Of them that are not Killed
and few remain to breed. If the law
against spring shooting remains in force
and is observed, for a few years thu
duck hunting in this locality would
greatly improve.

judge 81 D5bata.a Salarv;s.,1f -

4 A petition to the Legislature asking
that the saisry ofthe Judge Of probate
Ia Morrison county be raised was signed
by . majority Of the members Of the
chambe. OF com merce and sent to
Representative Flynn this week. The
Increase Of Judge Richardson's salary
is . very proper move, ~ he is now the
poorest paid Of any county official, and
the salary he receives is not near the
amount it should be. The general law
provides that tho salary shall he based
on the population Of the county, and
allows for an increase Of per cent per
year in population. Since the census
Of 1885 the population Of Morrison
cnuntyhas increased over 40 per cent
but under the law that officers salary
has increased buta fraction of that
amount. As the law contemplates that
his salary shall be in proportion to the
population, the matter can be adjusted
IN these rapidly growing counties only
BY special laws. Another point Is that
Mr.. Richard sons predecessor gave his
Office bat little attention, aud few of the
estates that came before his court we're
closed up in proper shape and large
part Of the present work of the official
IS in strengthening cut these old matters,
and Soma Of them have to be probated
s:ain from the start, as if they had
never before been acted on. Consider
ing all the facts in the case the re can be
no doubt bat the salary should be
raised.
