Seized the BODY.

A party of Firms direct from the old
country arrived at Duluth on their
way to Ely. The men are miners.
Ten days ago on shipboard off the
Nova Scotian coast a child was born
to one of the families. On the train
coming to Duluth the baby died.
The sparents were determined to
take the little body with them to Ely
and placed it in a basket covered with
wraps. But the pitiful appearance of
the mother and her constantly fond
ling and care of the basket aroused
interest on the part of local authori-
ties and the body was taken from her
and buried. There was quite scene
when the authorities took the body
from the mother, who could speak no
English.

The troops who leave Walker soon
for the frigid climate of Alaska will
be we'll supplied with reading matter
for some time to come. Miss Gratia
Countryman, secretary of the state
library commission, has sent them q
large box filled with books and the
latest magazines which were pur-
chased with what was left of the SOL
diers' fund. contributed to the Wo-
mans Council Library Committee dur
ing the time the state troops were en-.
camped at Chickamauga.
The demand for reading matter
among the boys in blue is very great,
and Lieutenant Barrows, of the Thir.
teenth regulars, now in service in the
Philippines, has written friends in
Minneapolis to the effect that the
troops there are very anxious to be
supplied with something to read,
Companies Pay.
Because of the policy of refusing to
grant licenses to- companies which
failed to comply with the Somerville
law, the state is enriched by $11,175.
While other classes of corporations
have refused to file articles with the
secretary of state and pay the re-
quired fee, insurance companies, with
two exceptions, have qualified. The
two in question are expected to come
in under the law in a short time.
In a list prepared Commissioner
O'Shaughnessy figures that 220 COM
panies have been given licenses and
paid the fee asked. Had all corpora
tions, exclusive of insurance com
panies, been compelled to comply with
the law, the state, it is estimated,
would now have an additional revenue
of about $4,000.

This Girl Can Whistle

Miss Louise Truax, just -years-old,
great-grandniece of Ethan Allen, OF
Evolutionary fame, is said to be a won
erful whistler Three years ago she
v as a somewhat mischievOus school
girl and just whistled every day in the
year for three hours. Miss Truax says
that most whistlers blow and pun and
hat this may be avoided by allowing
he tongue to lie limp in the mouth and
tremble. She found that she could
\ histle in three octaves, so she stopped
laying with dolls and devoted herself
10 whistling. The bird limitations she
produces by letting the throat swell,
nd it is said that when she mocks the
b ockingbird, thrush or nightingale the
listener thinks her marvellous throat
hould be feathered.
Miss Truax has had an offer to go to
ondon to whistle for Mayfair, the
fashionable section. and perhaps for the
ueen, but she has not yet decided to
go.

The Republicans do not take very

Addicks can carry out his pledges to
the National Committee what need he
care how the Republicans take TO his
nominees. He has pledged himself to
lick both the Democrats and the Regu-
lars. Perhaps the Democrats may have
something TO say when IL comes 20

The Addicks Ticket
DOYer DelaWarean.

From the Dover Delawarean.
The ticket named by Mr.. Addicks
and ratified by his men in the servile
snap convention of last Monday is a ty
pical Addicks ticket. Ii would be al
most impossible to select a ticket which
ould more thoroughly and distinc-
lively stand for Mr. Addicks, his po-
itical methods and ambition. Mr. Ad-
icks. to be sure, made some pretense
+ recognizing the Regulars, and the
amos of five Regulars appear upon the
icket he had ratified by his servile
nap convention. But they are named
or positions with very little patronage
or political power. Messrs. Capelle,
Hayes and Swain are nominated for
presidential electors, and in the event
lof their acceptance and election they
would merely go through the formality
of casting the three votes of this state
for Mckinley and Roosevelt In 3ddi-
