Young Man of Motley Held to
the Grand Jury on a Charge
of BaStardy.


turned Tuesday from Motley
where he was called to conduct the
prosecution in the preliminary ex-
animation of Chas. Sears, charged
by Miss Jessie Mitchell, OF that
place, with bastardy.
A few days ago Miss Mitchell gave
birth to twins and concealed them
Her strange actions aroused suspi'
cion in the minds OF. the family with
whom she was living, and an investi-
CATION led to the discovery Of the
children and confession from the
girl. The children were dead when
found and for a time it was thought
that a crime had been committed,
but thorough investigation was
made and the girl was completely
exonerated from suspicion Of being
responsible for the death Of the
children. ,,~.
The girl is only Iii years of age. and
when questioned gave the name ol
the young man who she claimed
was responsible for the unfortunate
position in which she was placed.
He was arrested on the charge
named, and his preliminary examin'
alton resulted in his being bound
over to the grand jury for the sum
of 5000. His parents are said to be
well-to-do, and furnished the bail.
Sheriff James E. McKelvey and
his deputy, Elmer Stevens, came up
from St. Cloud Mondav evening,
They came after three prisoners
which were sent here from the
Stearns county jail about two
months ago.. to be held here while
repairs were being made on the st.
Cloud jail. Sheriff McKelvey states
that their jail is now In, shape to
hold prisoners and with the addition
pu on, it will now hold fifty pris'
oners. The three prisoners are Chas,

await the action of the grand jury
OF Mile Lacs county on a charge Of
highway robbery. He is an all

greater portion OF the last twOyeare
in jail for other offenses. He is also
quite cunning, as was evident from
his recent attempt to secure hie

jail by feigning sick. Lane isserving

wise they would show their faith by
their works; they would no longer feel
justified in performing So worth of
labor on the farm one day, and S1.5O
worth on the road the next.
We have long stood with those who
think the road tax should be collected
in money. and have paid cash for several
years, but under the present system OF
road management it cannot always be
applied to the best advantage.
In some sections even where great
claims were made for the naturally
good condition of the roads, the boun-
tiful crops sometimes lie unmoved
through period of high prices, simply
because the naturally bad condition OF
the roads at certain seasons of the year,
forbids the hauling of loads. Farmers

business is concerned. On the other
hand, the railroads and elevators are
ever ready to do their part, as far as
their private business of handling the
farmers produce is concerned. Under
these conditions what is to hinder the
intelligent farmer from always pushing
his produce into market at such time as
his best judgment dictates? Simply the
weakness of the connecting hnk-the
highway-the one thing over which the
people have full control. There are
times when the farm is practically
much farther from the nearest village
than the village is from the great mart
TO which it is tributary. and until the
weak link is made strong. farming will
not be as generally profitable as il
otherwise would be.-The Epitomist.

DON'T LIKE THE COUNTRY
Destitute Women Would Rather Starve
Cities.

Destitute Women Would Rather Starve in
Cities.
House servants have such a dislike to
the country that it is almost impossible
to keep them there. This has long been
acknowledged, but it is rather sur
prise to the State Charities Aid associa-
ton that even the women who have
been reduced to utter restitution will
not remain in the country, even for the
sake of home.
The association has been trying to
assist widows, deserted women and
young girls, who are friendless, by
finding homes for them in families. In
all cases where there are babies it is
difficult to find places for the women in
the city, and the association, therefore,
sends them to the country.
In town, housekeepers will not be
bothered with servants with babies,
but country families cannot afford to
be so fastidious. They are glad to get
servants, anyhow, and the baby is
made welcome with the housemaid or
maid-of- all-work perforce.
The association has done much for
the unfortunate women who find them
selves thrown on the world without a
natural protector, with helpless in
FAINT in their care. Some of the women
are taken to the workhouse for I'M
skilled labor, at AZ Prospect place, and
kept there, with their babies, until it is
found that the mothers can get a living
for themselves.
Generally it is found that they cam
not do anything but plain laboring.
and the only chance for them is in do
nestle service. 1t is desirable that the
babies shall have fresh air, and that
the mothers shall retain their offspring.
So every effort is made to find country
homes for the unfortunates.
In some instances the arrangement is
satisfactory on both sides. Often, how
ever, the woman and her babe come
back to the city in the course of week
or two. There is fascip alton about
town life to those that have never had
any enjoyment out of it which is re-
markable.
These poor women, who have known
all kinds of misery in the city, hurry
back to it as soon as possible, when
there is nothing to look forward to
when they get there. Officers of the
association have become SO used to this
kind of human nature that they think
nothing of it.-New York Press.

miserable condition of country roads

the annual cost of maintaining them
in such condition, TO realize that road

not know the effect of National air
played by Military Band. 1t fires the
veriest coward with enthusiasm and is
conceded one of the most important
of military improvements. Each ma
ton has its own, differing only from
other bands according to character and
environments. Scotland, Ireland and
Wales, have probably the most exquis-
tie native melodies in the world; the
Russians and Danes are also rich in
their possession; Spain resounds with
wild and martial strains, and France
has few fine old airs, that clear her of

Bohemia and Switzerland each claim
a thousand mountain songs, while Italy
is the very palace of music, and Ger
many is its temple. 1t is said that
America has no music distinctly char

youth and our environments, and
would suggest the possibility that a
people of our impulsive temperament
people SO extremely alive to, so pas
sionately fond of, the beautiful in all
art-can not remain insensible to the
power of music, while it shall have
but once penetrated to the very soul OF
the people. And that time will come,
and then will such strains of beauty
burst upon the world as shall pro-
claim to all nations our glory-as

Some one has beautifully written
that music came forth from chaos with
the spirit of God. and as darkness
rested upon the land. the voice of Je-
hovah broke the awful stiffness and
made the earth musical with created
lighter life. All nature then-as
now and forever was full of it. Hear
it, in the hum of the bee, so sweet that
it seems as it were the lullaby to the
thousand little insects whose couches
are made among the roses-over
which he rules. Hear it in the music
of the forest, which comes to us from
a thousand tuneful throats. In the lit
