Shall We Meet Again?

Men seldom think OF the shadow

forever from their eyes, the traces
of the loved ones whose smiles were
the sunlight OF their existence.
Death is the greatest antagonist OF
life, and the cold thought of tie

We do not want to go through the
dark valley although its passage
NAV lead to paradise: and, with
Charles Lamb, we do not want to
lie down in the muddy grave even
with kings and princes as our bed
fellows. But the fla of nature is
inexorable. There is no appeal of
relief from the great law which
doons us TO dust. We flourish and
fade as the leaves OF the forest, and
the flowers that bloom and wither
in a day have not frazier hold
upon Life than the mightiest mon
arch that ever shook the earth VI. h

uttered by the death devoted Greek,

soul. When about to give her
young existence a sacrifice to fate,
his beloved Clemanthe asks if they

plies: / have asked that dreadful

was generally thought that ended it.
In pursuance of the decision the
Northern Securities company is wind
ing up its affairs as fast as possible.
The merger issue is dead, and it will
remain so despite Mr.. Johnson's
efforts.
The Democratic candidate stated in
his initial speech that he would not
descend to personalities. He soon
forgot that good resolution. He at
tempted to assail Dunn in that same
speech, using the charges made by
Public Examiner Johnson relative to
the settlement of the timber trespass
cases.
Mr.. johnson may not think this is
personal abuse. But in view of the
fact that every charge made was
proven false by the State records, it
seems that Candidate johnson was
circulating accusations that he knew
to be untrue, regarding his rival.
This looks very like descending to
personalities of a despicable sort.

johnson and His CamDaign.

John A. johnson of St. Peter, the
Democratic candidate for governor,
will appear at the armory tonight to
urge the goodness of his cause on the
voters of Duluth.
His arguments, as foreshadowed in
his recent speeches, will not be new
to Duluth people. They will appear
decidedly secondhand. In his opening
address of the campaign at Mime
apolis Saturday night he sounded
his keynote, and repeated it since with
variations. He said he favors in
creasing the gross earnings tax from
three to four per cent. The Republi-
can candidate is of the same opinion.
and has been making it his paramount
issue for months, so it does not seem
there is any chance for them to quar-
rel.
Mr.. johnson advocates the amend
ment of the priamry election law.
Mr.. Dunn was open and emphatic in
recommending such amendment long
before Mr.. johnson was nominated,
and is heartily advocating it on the
stump. In this again Mr.. johnson
seems to be at one with the Republi-
can standard bearer.

A Democratic Trick,

The proposition was made the other
day for the organization Of Roose-
velt-Johnson Club at this place. The
Enterprise is not able to say whether
the plan will prove successful, but it
should receive no consideration at the
hands of any Republican who has the
best interests of the party at heart.
R. G. Dunn is the nominee of the
Republican party and should receive
its undivided support. Johnson is
not entitled to any consideration at
the hands Of the Republican voters
for ne has done nothing in the past
for which they are indebted to him.
At the present time he, and his asso-
ciates are putting forth their best
efforts in campaign, which if they
can wage it successfully will only aid
those who are trying to bring about
the defeat of Roosevelt and Fair
banks.
Mr.. Dunn is pledged to the fulfil
ment of the Republican platform, Mr..
johnson to the Democratic; Mr.. Dunn
will vote for Roosevelt and Fairbanks,
Mr.. johnson for Parker and Davis.
Why then is there any reason for the
organization of such thing as a
Roosevelt ohnson Club. Forest Lake
Enterprise.
In view of the fact that the State
auditors office was investigated by a
Legislative committee during the lat
ter part of Mr.. Dunn's term of office,
and that this committee consisted of
men opposed to Mr.. Dunn, and that
their report to the legislature recon-
mended the administration of that
office by Mr.. Dunn, it would seem

represented facts in order to deceive

Jury convicts Former mayor Of Mur-

Jury conVicts Former mayor Of Muir
dcring His Wife.
Charlottesville, Va, Nov. III. Sam
uel McCue, for four years mayor OF
Charlottesville, was found guilty Of
the murder of his wife. Fanny McCue.
on Sunday night, September last.
The verdict was murder in the first
degree, which carries with it the death
penalty. The jury deliberated less than
half an hour.
McCue had grown nervous as the
commonwealth's attorney was closing.
and the suspense while awaiting the
jury's verdict was a severe strain, but
he held up. occasionally taking a Tes-
lament from his pocket and reading a
passage or two. When asked to stand
up to hear the verdict he rose calmly
and with set features heard the words
that sent him back to prison con-
demned to the severest penalty of the
law.
Counsel for the defense moved that
the verdict be set abide, on the ground
that the jurors had read newspapers
The court called the jurors to the wit
ness stand, one by one, and questioned
them under oath as to whether they
had read the newspapers. AS a whole
they said they had not been Influenced
by anything they had read. The mo.
ton will be argued later.

ABOUT WOMEN
Velvet Brooks

Black panne velvet is chic for visiting
wear, but then, If rumor Is true. this
is to be a great season for all velvets from
velveteen to the richest silk chiffon We
lours. The shops are full of fancy velvets
and at the beginning of the season there
was much talk of fancy velvets. but lat
est advices from Paris are emphatically
on the side of plain velvet. and the crush
velvet in particular, though much ex-
plotted in ready-made frocks and coats,
is not in favor among the fastidious.
Word comes from Paris that black satin.
too, is extensively worn, being made into
dressy froclSs for street wear. The satin
is, of course. of the new soft and plable
quality, and is relieved by lace. embroid-
cry. fur, etc.
Black chiffon velour velvet. in the ALL
silk quality, worn with rich furs and
handsome lace. will. 1t is said, be the
most stylish of winter visiting toilettes,
and some wonderful black velvet dinner
gowns and evening gowns have been
created by the great dressmakers; but
although the present-day velvet does not
crush or spot so readily as the velvet of
other days, it is not the most serviceable
material for frock that must stand
much wear

imported frocks Of apricot, peach. or dul
