TUNED E.1ST.

Deputy County Surveyor H.
L. Laughlin add party finished
the new preliminary survey of
that portion of the Miller Trunk
Road north from this city to the
intersection of the Tower & Itas.
ca road on Sunday. In CONVEX
sation with Mr.. Laughlin, who
arrived in the city Monday, he
stated that the survey followed
the section line north from Vir-
ginia for a distance of thirteen
miles, thence heading north of
east for a distance of four and
one.half miles, striking the Tow
err & Itasca road at the same
point as does the proposed new
road running northwesterly to
the head of Vermllion lake, the
contract for the construction of
which is tied up in the injunction
proceedings.
The new survey conforms a
trifle nearer to the convenience
of Mesabaites than did the sur :
vey running almost direct to
Tower. But we cannot say that
it will prove the most convenient
or feasible route. although &C
cording to statements accredited
to Commissioner Morcom during
his recent visit to the city it con
forms to the letter of the law,
which is great and appreciable
condescension on the part of one
of SO high authority as the CON-
missioner who was elected by
the people of this district to look
after their interests.

The notion that King Oscar, of
Sweden and Norway, would be
unduly prejudiced in favor Of
England and against the United
States in arbitration proceedings
is altogether delusion, says the
Review Of Reviews for March:
He is man eminently of the
judicial temperament More
over, the Scandinavian peninsula
is IN the strongest sort of sym
pathy with the people of the
United States. King Oscar is
himself "a ruler of democratic
spirit, and the Swedes and Nor.
wegians are self governing peo-
pie. If there should ever be
war between the United States
and England many thousands of
the sons of Norway and Sweden.
who are now citizens of this
country, would take part in the
strife. A very large share of
the best blood of the Scandinav-
ian peninsula has been transfer
red to our northwestern states.
Owing to this fact, the Scandi-
navians maint tain a more intimate
relationship with the people of
the United States than with any
European nation-just as the re.
lationship of the people of Ire:
land, for the same reason, is
more intimate and cordia! with
America than with England.
Furthermore, Russia is ninterna-
tional matters the constant friend
of the United States; and it is
very much more important for
King Oscar to maintain harmon
ious relations with his powerful
neighbor on the east than with
England. It is, therefore, en-.
tirely fal(acious to suppose that
Oscar, even if not naturally dis.
posed to be fair minded, would
be biased in favor of England or
secretly anxious to further Brit
ish interests as against those of
the United States. It seems to
US nothing could have been a
better evidence of Englapd's per
feet frankness aud good faith in
signing this arbitration treaty
than her consent to have King
Oscar named as the umpire un-
der specified contingencies.

Mow the Late Sleight of Hand PerformeI
 Fooled the President Elect.
 The death of Professor Hermann, the prestidigitateur, recalls an incident that occurred at the last meeting between him and Major MeEinley Major Me. Kinley and the famous sleight of hand performer had been friends for long time, and Hermann never came to Go. lumbus without calling on the governor when he was here When he was last here. Hermann happened to stop at the hotel where Governor Mckinley was making his home, and he called upon him there
 As he started to go, Professor Herr. mann said Major, 1 may not see you soon again, and I have never given you anything by which you may remember me. Letme make you a present of this. ;. And, taking his hand, he placed upon a finger a fine diamond set ring Major Mckinley thanked him and admired the ornament Shortly after Hermann left q friend who was present said, "Oh, by the way governor, let ma see that ring. The governor held up his hand, but was astonished to find that it was gone. There was no need to ask questions about the mystery. Hermann had left as a memento the memory of very clever trick, of which the major was the victim, instead of the ring. - Columbus e. Cor Washington Star,

The clerk wheeled the hook around So that the place for signatures was in the proper position and waited.

 Then she eyed her effort epproyingly and carefully laid the pen down. The clelb, vho had been watching the oper- ation with a good deal of curiosity, said:

A Miraculous Draft of Fishes.

The dWellels on the banks of the Neckar, near the good old German town of Heilbronn, had an experience the other day which must have reminded them of the miraculous draft ol fishes. A few days ago, toward evening, the worthy Beilbronners perceived that the Neekar WIS toward both it's banks one moving mass of all sorts and con. ditions of fish, thronging laudward in seeming anxiety to be caught, Nor was this taeit appeal at all disregarded. for every man. woman and child of the vicinity ran out with pots and pans, with spades. and rakes and pails and baskets to holp himself or herself to ] share of fish. The explanation of the miracle, which perehanee might prove a hint to fisher folk, was that the river had become so muddy after recent heavy rains that the fish found it difficult to breathe in the thick water and had approached the banks fer more air. =.

SHE WAS WRONG.

1he Original Poem Wasn't by Couper at
 All. but by Some One Else.
 There is a woman literary club on the South Side which k having the hardest imaginable time to keep toaeth. CT. Unlike most similar organizations, it is not from want of money that this association of fair students is constant. ly threatened with disbandment. 4 spirit of discontent and rivalry stalks through the meetings.
 The original purpose of the club was q thorough criticism Of tho works of Homer, Dante, Shakespeare, Milton, Spenser and Sir Edwin Arnold. But although this laudable intention was adhered to for several months, after awhile some of them got to writing es. says and other papers to be read before the society. The book trade may not have noticed 1t, but at that time there was q considerable run on eoneordances, glossaries, books of synonyms and liter. ary dictionaries. Ever since then things have gone from bad to worse. It seems impossible to maintain harmony.
 The vice president of the erganiza. tion, charming young lady, whethes considered mentally or from her photo graph, recently wrote a rather extend. ed poem in a very lofty strain She read 1t to the club Amid the general ap. plause which followed there came from several ranete corners of tho room something like murmurs. 4 couple of her auGi9crs were heard to say that she had never written anything like that before; that they diduit believe any one in the club was capable of it; that, i'll fact, several passages sounded strangely familiar
 Finally one membor with glasses and very penetfating exprsssion address ing the auther of the poem, said
 Didn't yen get some of that from GoWpeT2 I'm sure you did.
 did nothing os the kind, retorted the vice president, flushing at the ac. cusation.
 Oh, but remember almost the ex. act lines persisted her aceuser
 How dare ycu say. sol returned tbs poet hotly
 But we'll get the beck and look, Y" persisted the other
 You're 8 mean, mean thing, said the vice president, busting into tears Il didn't get this from Cowper at all And now that you re so smart I'll not tell you where 1 did get it. "-Chicago Tribune
