by the announcement that Mr.. William
Moore had been shot by his son-in-law
Mr.. John Sullivan at the residence of
the latter on West Fourth street. In
quiry failed to reveal the motive ;or the
shooting but it is thought to be due to
family troubles of long standing. At
the office of DR.. Baird where the injured
man was taken it was found that the
ball, which was - calibre, had en-
tered the lower Jaw on the left side,
tearing away portion of the jaw bone,
passing through the mouth and lodging
in the right side. After having the
wound dressed Mr.. Moore walked to
his home and at the hour of going to
press is resting quietly.

on petitions from the residents east OF
the river, with the result that the city
council ordered the company to extend
its lines to meet the demands of the
people, provided there were no OBJ
stacles which the city could not over
come. The company opposed the eX-
tension at first but the differences have
been satisfactorily adjusted, and that
the railway company is now willing to
comply with the instructions of the
council is proven by the work begun
Monday when ties were laid and other
work done at the end of tie present
line near the Nemadji river. The
whole ground was gone over on Mon
day by party composed of Mayor
Dietrich. City Engineer Thomas, Street
Commissioner Baxter and President
Norvell Of the rapid transit company,
with view to determine the best route
to run the line. There are some things
which it will require little more time
to remedy, and while there is no def
mite time set for the completion of the
line. it is expected that the work will
soon be we'll under way and will be
pushed as rapidly as possible.

Superior WAS in truth "deserted vii
lage" on Wednesday. Everybody seem
ed to he off with the grocervmen and
their families. Many of the dry goods
stores were closed for the day in order
that all might enjoy the day. In the
morning the clouds hung heavy for
short time, but 10y train time, the sky
had cleared, and fine day was assur-
ed, arriving at the grounds everything
was dry and nice, and the two thous-
and people scattered about the grounds
to enjoy themselves according to their
own inclinatlons. The affair was a sue
cess, the crowd was orderly and good
natured, and this their sixth annual pic
mic demonstrates that the grocerymen
are capable of planning and carrying
out an entertainment.

"A Scedy Speaker.

Col. Henderson has always been an
advocate of the free distribution of
seeds by congressman. and his COnStIt-
uents have been highly favored in this
regard. His known foudneSs for a Joke
has made him the subject Of consider
able banter upon this line and he has
probably stood more ridIcule upon the
tree seed fad than any other congress-
man. One of Col. Hnndor7Un's postal
carlo nnent this topic in Woman 5
handwriting, bore this message:
"John's influence can't he got with
II cents worth of free seeds, but If You
will send me box of hairplns | will
look alter him. His Wife"
Another communication read:
"Nhy not let up on seeds TOR while
and send jack knives? Everybody could
use them, and there would not be so
much waste. In that case radish seeds
would not come up poor turnlps, and
the congressman would he saved much
rldicule which he now often gets. -

The Battle of Life.

There must ALWAYS be some services
that il will seem Impossible to Il woman
to cease rendering. And here it is that
the hardest battle of the head and
heart really begins, saws IIarper's Baz-
Ar. Some Of these services are dear be-
cause they give pleasure to the server,
some because they give comfort to the
served. Ii is not easy to turn from
either. 1t is not easy, women are apt
to think with some bitterness, to he a
professional woman at al. And now
again the head must be needed. If
you have honestly decided that as a
duty to your talents, or to eXpedlencv,
or TO some other good motive, it is best
for YOU to follow an outside profession,
the way to begin is not with weak lam
entatlons and comparisons of sex. One
great reason for our thinking of man s
path as SO much easier in his profess
an end has become so matter Ofcourse
in the lives Of men that we take their
efforts as no sacrifice at all. 1t is not
always as easy as it looks for a man to
leave the bedside of sick child, the
hearth of an ailing wife, or even the
h"rry sitting room and the bright chat
ter OF those he loves, to go TO a work
that sternly calls him.
