THEODORE DURRANT has been con-
victed of the murder Of Blanche La
mont and in all probability will soon
swing from the scaffold into kingdom
come. Durrant has been proven the
most atrocious murderer this country
has ever seen and the full penalty in
ficted by law for his crime should be
his. The cloak Of religion which he
threw over his vile deeds make it a
hundred fold worse than if, he had
been a common tramp.

The story that the invitations to
the Marlborough Vanderbilt wedding
were mailed unsealed to save postage
probably arose from the dukes order
ing back to England the wedding
gifts rather than pay the import duty
thereon. We thoughtlessly threw the
envelope inclosing ours away and
can't remember just what postage
was paid. It is unfortunate that an
export duty can't be collected on that
$40, 600, 900 the duke takes home with
him. Well bet our hat he wouldn't
order it back.-Two Harbors News.
A bride of few weeks, according
to an exchange, has sued for a divorce
on the ground that her new husband
failed to provide food. During the
trial the judge asked the bride if she
did not love her husband. She re-
piled: "Yes, when I'm not hungry"
That women is a philosopher. Love
is a good thing, in fact is almost in
dispensible in any we'll regulated
family, but person can't "billy and
coo'' very much with his stomach
tapping back and forth against his
backbone, like newspaper against a
broken window.
During the past summer, Mayor
Vail and Frank Hodge have contended
+ that Louis Eisenach and Louis Sletten
could not shoot and the latter two
have made the statement that the
former two were no good with the
gun. Many times during the summer
the four have threatened to go to the
shooting grounds and decide the con-
troversy. but it never transpired until
last Sunday when loaded with shells
and firm determination, they sailed
forth to conquer: Eisenach made a
score of 20, Sletten scoring Is, making
total for their side of So birds out of
a possible so. Hodge broke 20, and
Vail a., making total for their side
of 81 birds. The parties are now
satisfied.
The Rainy Lake Journal says that
owing to the non-arrival Of freight
via Rat Portage, and supplies here
getting short, Merchants Berg and
Lang hustled to Fort Francis to learn
what was the cause of the delay.
While there a steamer arrived with a
part of their supplies which they
brought here with them, but the
balance of them are still in Rat
Portage. The Canadian steamboat
men say they will hustle the rest here
this week even if they have to winter
their boats here on that account, but
as the prospects are now good for an
early freeze-up they may not be able
to do so. Supplies are also short at
Fort Frances, Seine river, and
Koochiching. The goods were ordered
early enough, but it seems the trans
portation companies have been dill
atory in forwarding the same to des-
tination. If the lakes and rivers
should. freeze and good ice be slow in
making,. some of us may be reduced to
the Indian diet of ka-go and wa-boOse
Jack fish and jack rabbits.

Bitterness or Death.

A sad wall is heard from the organ
of the Catholic-infid el-anything-to-in-
jure- thea. p. A.-crowd that the A. p.
AS are not willing to allow the "bitter
feeling engendered by the organiza-
ton of that dark lantern institution in
our midst die OUT.
The only "bitter feeling" that we
have heard of for long time past, is
entertained by the organ and its sup
porters, and that seems to be as fresh
and green green with envy as ever.
The organ is so full of that it wouldn't
publish an innocent church social no.
tice. Az further evidence of its "bit-
terness" see the insulting epithets APP
piled to the A. P. A. lodge, of this town,
while it pretends to desire better
state of feeling. This is like insulting
man in order to make him kind and
forgiving
The organ fools no one except its
priestly advised supporters. Bitter
ness" is the stock in trade of that I'M
savory concern. BITTERNESS" gave
life and impetus to the thing, and bit
terness keeps it going. 1t is bitterness
or death with the organ.

Weather.CrO Week Ending June "a

The reports this week are as a rule,
much more favorable than they were
week. There has been more sunshine.
amounting on an average to SO per
cent, and the nights have not been so
cool. Some light scattering showers
occurred from the 10 to the %, which
considerably resreshed the growing
crops. The ground is now in fine con-
dition. Even there the condition of
crops has been improved by the show
ers,but more rain is needed.
Grain of all kinds has generally i'm
proved Fall wheat and barley is
headed out. Corn and vegetables
have made considerable progress since
the warmth and sunshine of the clos
ing days of the week. Hops have
made steady growth, though rather
slow, and lice are now infesting them
to some extent.
Large fruits haxe continued drop
ping from the trees, but not so much
as during the previous week. Cherries
are rlpenlng slowly; the yield is album
dant. Strawberries are now past their
their prime, though by no means gone.
Kaspberrles are beginning to ripen,
and the quality is said to be excellent.
with promise of abundant yield.
Hay cutting has been the principal
industry of the week, although the
tore part was too cloudy and damn
tor 1t to dry we'll. The crop is heavy
though somewhat late, EXCEPT in the
localities where rain has been deficient
and there it is very short. Southwest
ern Washington will have the heaviest
hay crop. Glover is particularly
heavy.
