picnic last Sunday for having been so
offcious in raiding and exposing

A terrible railroad disaster occurred
at Armagh, ireland, on Wednesday.
Already seventy five are reported dead
and it is thought that many mere will
die from injuries received. 1t was an
excursion train crowded with young
people of the Methodist denomination,
ranging in ages from 10 to 20years. AS
so often the case in our own country, it
is now hard TO locate the blame.
Frank James mot the Originally hung
himself with a pair Of suspenders az
Bowling Greer, o., Thursday, because
Mrs. Williamson was little too slow
in securing a divorce from her husband,
and with whom Mr.. James was infat-
uated. After securing a divorce from
one man and assisting another towards
suicide, Mrs. Williamson is certainly
entitled to the suspenders in question.

IT isn't much to the credit of many
Of those who are employed by the CITY
to force upon the council the need of
passing resolution that will hereafter
compel them to pay their honest debts,
but it was eminently correct, neverthe-

point Of view dishonesty is wrong and
it is certainly just and right that man
should be punished for Intentionally
defrauding his nejghbor.

of it's members and its quick recogni

The Ancient Order of Hibernians
will, in all probability, hold grand
picnic or excursion in the near future
wherein all Divisions IN the city will
participate and in which the Divisions
of Anoka, Ramsey and Washington
counties will be invited to join. The
movement was ,naugurated at late
meeting of Division No. 8 of this city
and has already been taken up by near
ly all divisions Of the city. There seems
to be no doubt but that committees
will soon be appointed to complete the
necessary arrangements.

More than one member of the local
team played ball during the past week
under difficulties, having received in
juries that certainly ought to excuse
them for many of the errors made. But
