courts, beginning with the first OF the
present month, are held twice year
and at the same time in six places
within the state of Minnesota. These
places are st. Paul, Minneapolis, Du-
iuth, Winona, Mankato and Fergus
Falls. The counties of the state are ar
ranged into six divisions under this law.
The law at first glance seems to con-
template the trial of civil cases in the
division presumed to be the most ac-
cessible to the Suitors by declaring as
follows:
That causes removed from any court in
the state of Minnesota into the circuit court
shall be removed to the circuit court in the
division i'll which said state court is held;
Rnd'uall civil suits not of a local nature
must be brought in the division where one OF
the defendants reside.
A close inspection of the law and a
knowledge of the character of litigation,
however. will demonstrate that there is
not much gained by this, the only ap-
parent desirable feature Of the law.
MANY of the civil actions are against
two or more persons who reside IN diff
ferent divisions or are against corpora
tiOnS that may have an existence in
more than Ope division. In such cases,
or by consent of the parties, the trial
may take place in any of the divisions.
The law does not require the trial OF
the criminal offenseS against the govern
ment TO be held in the division where
the offense was committed or the pris-
oner resided.
"a grand jury and petit jury shall
be summoned for each of the terms of
court" is another provision of the law.
The Law Unpopular.
None of the officers of these courts
speak in commentator of the provis-
ions of the law. Several of them are
disposed to question its wisdom, and
say that it is doubtful if any advantage
accrues to either the government or the
suitors by the changes made. On the
contrary, it will entail considerable
additional outlay by the government.
In the first place. there must OF neeessi-
tY be arrangements made for quarters
in which to hold the courts in places
where there are no government build
ings. The law will give the people of
those towns a lever power in urging
congress to make appropriations for
buildings. Then there will be the addi-
tional expense for the pay of the per
diem of tWenty-three grand jurors and
fifty petit jurors for the several places,
besides their mileage. The expense of
witnesses attending the courts in GRIM
inal cases will be greater, because the
terms will be so short that many many
cases will go over without trial, and
thus necessitate repeated attendance.
The expenses of marshal in Summoning
jurors and witnesses will be Increased.

though, owing to the fact that most on
the latter are young men employed II

the club, yet the turn-outs on Saturday

of the state. and are not by the law re-
Quired to be taken from the division in
which the courts are held. AS there
are no arrangements for accommodate
tons in some of the towns for
court rooms, offices and jury
rooms, the court will probably be re-
garded as partaking of the nature OF
the ancient court piepoudre, or court

Judge Caldwell was appointed circuit

and Forgive All.
Mrs. Lizzie Gagnon, wife Of Phillius
Gagnon, the dentist practicing under
the name of Diamond George" left
home last Saturday and nothing has
been heard of her since. Her husband
is much concerned at her absence, and
offers liberal reward for any one who
can give him insormation as to
her Whereabouts. He has every
confidence in her, but can offer
no solution whatever to the
mystery. When she was first missed it
was thought she had gone to visit
relatives either in Minneapolis or Wi
mona, but inquiry developed the fact
that she had not been seen IN either OF
these places. Mrs. Gagnon is about 5
feet inches tall, has very fair COM
plexion, black hair and dark blue eyes.
when she left she wore a black silk
dress covered With black lace, large
black hat trimmed with black plumes
and low shoes. She took with
her another dress of dark broad
cloth. She is nineteen years of age.
DR.. Gagnon does not believe his wife
has gone wrong, and is willing to an
nounce that "if she will return all will
be forgotten and forgiven"
1t was discovered at police headQuar-
tiers last night that the description OF
the body seen floating in the river tai
lies exactly with that of Mrs. Gagnon.

good. Nothing is more graceful, in fact,
than lady riding as ladies should ride
on horseback, with well-ftting habit.
A lady astride of horse loses her dig

costumed. AS / said before, neither
my compatriots nor myself believe in
absolute adoption of the Jenness-Miller

some purposes her idea of dress is quite
the proper thing, and should be worn
without any feeling of false delicacy. AS

1t is learned that the Ladies' Cycle
club meets at the residence of each
member in turn on alternate weeks, and
that applications for membership are
being received by hundreds. A rule of
the club is that each member must
practice long enough in private to ac-
quire sufficient deXterity to insure that
she will not make an absurd exhibition
of herself by falling off when she makes
her debut before the public.

ment were turned loose on the people
OF that county in Merriam's behalf, the
governor only secured the delegation to
the state convention by q majority of
five in the county convention. The fol-
lowing from the Howard Lake Herald Is
self-eXplanatory:
We were somewhat surprised to see large
share OF the delegates who attended the Re-
publican county convention on Saturday
were averse to the denomination OF Gov.
Merriam. 1t was generally conceded that
there would be good sprinkling Of ants
in the crowd, but that nearly half the house
would be against the governor was not
thought of.-Delano Eagle.
Had mass meeting Of all the Republicans
of the county been assembled the Merriam
crowd would have made very Insignificant
showing. In the county there are over ], 800
Republican farmers. Of these, from 1.200
to 400 would have voted for Nelson, or
some other good representative OF the agri.
cultural districts, and against Merriam;
full representation of the Republican
masses Of Wright county would never in
dorse Merriam methods and principles.
Attorney j. A. Tawney came up from
Winona yesterday and filled the even
ing Merriam organ with several columns
of stuff to the effect that Congressman
Dunnell might not be candidate for a
denomination. On being asked if he
would be candidate in this event, he
very modestly replied that he twas not
considering the question" The fact OF
the matter is that the Republican
bosses of the First district would like to
unload Dunnell, but they don't know
just how to do it. The veteran "Sand-
hauler' has clear majority of the dele
gates to the congressional convention.
His past political record will hardly
justify any one in thinking that he will
decline anything. The only way to UNI
load Mr.. Dunnell is to elect delegates to
congressional conventions pledged
against him. The rumor that he is after
position in the consular service Is
hardly we'll founded. There's too much
in a congressional lobby for Mr.. Dun
nell to seek change at this stage Of the
game.

LOOK ON THE BRIGHT SIDE.

Let us encourage children to tell the
pleasant things that happen to them, that
they see, that they hear, that they can
think of.

own story-nothing but dust and mosqui.
toes, while the other may have truly seen
"the vision splendid" Of glorifed earth
and sky, and may also have stored little
sunshine for the daily task, the sick room
and the more somber thought of com.
panion.
In nature it is generally easy to point
to the brighter side. The sunshine is an
obvious blessing that need not be COM
mended to any child; but the rain, he
lnust be told, is none the less necessary
to refresh the parched earth the cold
weather is bracing and healthful, and il
brings the delightful snow, and the hot
weather ripens the fruit and grain.
In immediate surroundings nothing is
more important to ones own comfort and
that of others, than to insist On seeing the
better side. The window may be draughty
but we should be poorly off without its
light, the room may not be all that best
could be desired, but if it is ours, we will
make the best of it.
In lessons we may point to the interest
the beauty, the novelty, above all the
satisfaction in doing work well-excel
lence in degree of whatever kind the task
this it is that that gloriGes the "daily
round"
In circumstances let us see the best
especially in the little things of every
day. Homely and trivial details may
carry high teaching.
A lady about to start on journey
southwark returned to her room in s
New York hotel, hurdened with a num-
ber of parcels of irregular shapes and
sizes, of the very sort to be troublesome
in travelling. She had intended to pack
them in trunks, but on enquiring found
that the latter had already been carried
down stairs. "Oh very we'll. We viii

lady cheerfully, with not one aoord O.
complaint to jar upon companions ear
A young girl standing by silently absorb
ed the lesson, and for years after made

She smiles at the recollection now, bu
she is still grateful. 1t is such things
that get into the warp and woof of chill
dren's lives.
