Anoka Paper is Mistaken.

The Anoka Herald quotes from a
decision of the Minnesota supreme
out In November, 1898. to show
that the Little Falls contracts with
the Electric & Water company have
been declared illegal on account OF
their being for thirty years. That
was the courts first decision, but on
I. reargument they withdrew that
conclusion, and declared 1t to he
matter to be determined by condi-
tons and ancessurrOunding
the contract. and that they did not
intend to establish "a hard and fast
ruie' that a thirty year contract
was illegal. The company at Little
Falls later brought actions in the
United States court to prevent the
city from issuing certain bonds to
build plants. also to prevent the city
from constructing plantsto provide
water and light service for which
they already had contracts. The
United States court was also asked
to determine the validity OF the con-
tracts, and to give the company pay
for the services already received by
the city, and also damages il the city
failed to carry out contracts in the
future. The AnOka paper assumes
that the validity of the contracts
il no longer in question-when in
fact that is the main and most i'm
portant one now in litigation. The
company belle. es they will be held
valid, and the city, OF course. con-
tends the opposite. 1t II expected
that Judge Lochren will hear the ar
2umenta and make a decision within
a few DAYS. He will take up the
case as soon as he finishes the jury
cases set for trial in the term of court.
he is now holding in Minneapolis.
But the Anoka paper should plain
~ understand that no one in Little
Falls claims that the validity OF the
local thirty year contracts was fin
ally settled by the first decision OF
the Minnesota court in November,
1878.

A Story Of Cruelty. r

In tho probate court today tcsti-
money was taken in the matter Of
the guardianship OF the orphan
child Francis White. the 13.year-old
daughter 'of Jacob. White, recently
deceased. Jacob Witte was a'rest-
dent Of Pike Creek. Aboutsix weeks
ago he died, leaving in the care Of
his widow his daughter Francis, a
child by a former marriage. ! A
short time subsequent to the death
OF Mr.. White, John Fuzel ski, an
uncle of the child, appeared before
the probate court and asked to be
appointed guardian Of the child on
the ground that she was being cru
ely and inhumanly treated by her
stepmother. Letters of guardian
ship were issued to Mr.. Tdzenska
and although he made several de-
mands for the child her stepmother
has perslstently refused to give her
up: ~
The testimony shows that even
before the death OF her father the
child was terribly abused. by being
beaten, half starved and tortured
by its stepmo Their. Mrs. White has
been cited to appear before the pro-
bate court to show cause
why she should not turn
the child over to it's uncle but she
as 90 far failed to take any notice of
the proceedings and Is said to have
defled all authority to take the child
away from her. 1t is understood
that she ia in the city today, and an
other citation has been PLACED in the
hands Of an officer to serve upon her.
II she refuses to obey the commands
of this citation q warrant will be is-
sued for her arrest on q charge of con-
tempt of court, and she will undoubt-
eddy be dealt with as severely as
the nature of her offence will war
rant.
One witness testifies that the child
is a mere skeleton. and is compelled
to sleep in a small dry goods box in
filth,~ while the other children are

husband died she placed his body in
the corn crib and left it there for a
week before giving it burial. Ac-
cording to most of her neighbors she
is a tiend, and deserves severe punish
ment for her tnhuman treatment OF
the orphan child.

Il found your medi-

There are women who feel something
4 a grudge against the children, who.
n after another rob their mother of her
beauty and strength. Men do not usually
realize how much the mother gives to
each child to her W loss. Women
accept it as part of the obligation of
Nature and pay the debt grudgingly.
Yet in Natures plan every child IS a
new Joy and fresh happiness. It isn't
the children that steal the mothers

pains which weaken her.
