A home paper is in no sense child OF
charity; it earns. twice over. every dol
lar that it receives, and is second TO no
enterprise in contributing to the up
building offs town or community. It's
patrons reap far more benefits from its
columns than do its publishers. and in
calling for the support OF the people Of
the community in which 1t 10 published,
it asks no more than in all justice be-
longs to It, though it generally receives
far less.-Weekly Call,
T. ]. Murphy is afflicted indeed. Only

cit is funny" says an exchana e, show
people discover the real Importance OF
newspaper when they get into a scrap
or do something they are ashamed of.
They live tor years without subscribing
| and when asked to advertise they say it
don't do any good. But the minute
they get into scrape they rush to the
editor and request him to say nothing
about it, in case it is trouble in which
their names will happen to- be mentioned,
Then they realize the paper has a circu
lation and don't waut their names
'sprea3 all over" Appreciation of
newspaper should begin before you get
into trouble. 1t might be we'll Tor some
people to :nscribe this indelibly upon
their memory tablets or paste it in their
hats.
Relative to the Clarissa accident, the
Todd County Argus saws:
The accident is due wholly to the neg
ligence of the company, as the rail was
an old one which has been in use Is or
20 years. From Round Prairie to Eagle
Bend the track is laid with old iron from
the old st. Paul & Pacific and some of it
is crystalized and rotten. This rail was
broken in several pieces and the fange
| was cracked. The iron also was badly
crystalized, being very old looking rail.
| The superintendent carefully gathered
up all the pieces and carried them away.
so there is no danger that they will ever
appear IN evidence in case of a suit. 1t
IS impossible for the few section men to
properly inspect the track as there is
not more than one man to seven or
eight miles of track. No man can 60
over that length of track every day and
give it the careful inspection it ought to
have. especially when the iron is old and
rotten as this is between the two points
mentioned above.
Peter Joseph Schaps, who is enjoying
his liberty from the Fergus Falls insane
hospital by the grace of parole from
that institution, is again heard from.
He has addressed petition to the pro-
bate court asking that an order be di-
rected to his three guardians, Theresa
Schaps, John M. Rosenberger and Frank
Ficher, and TO Judge Searle of the dis
trict court, ex-Judge Brurer of the pro-
bate court and Judge Hansen, to show
cause why they should not probate his
estate. In a note to his petition, Schaps
says he is pauper aud "a homeless
wanderer on earth" His estate is not
being probated for the good reason that
there is nothing to probate. The mill
at Albany was recentlv sold under mort
gage foreclosure, and bought by his wife
and his mother-irl-law, and they have
all the estate that remains after the
costly litigation that the poor man has
been engaged in. -Journal-Press.
