THE APPEAL ARTICLE
On the Conner Murder Brings the A.

The article in THE APPEAL Of last
week stating the action of the Henne-
pin county authorities in reference to
the shooting OF Richard Conner had
the effect of awakening them to
sense of their duty in the matter. Ev-
en- SO SOON as Sunday the county at
torney's Office put itself in communion
ton with Mr.. J. H. Dillingham; by
phone which resulted in several con-
ferences with the county attorney
and finally Mr.. Dillingham; and other
witnesses were summoned to appear
before the grand jury. In the mean
while a requisition was obtained from
the governor and deputy sheriff

accused w. R. Morris, Esq, was ap-
pointed as an assistant in the case
and he was sent to Pittsburg to deter
mine what witnesses were needed

confidently believed that it will re-
turn an indictment for murder in the
first degree.

Her Transform alton.

She drank quantities of water, ate a lot
OF starchy foods.
Abstained from exercising every day:
She assmilated tactic and a case of malt
ed goods.
But it seemed her fate to have to fade
away.
She so mourncd attenuation, with a WIS.,
age like an OWL $.
That smile upon her face was never
seen;
While below her mouth were wrinkles,
and above her eyes were ScOWlS,
And her nose was like Ratchet in be-
tween.
But one day she fell to laughing in a
strange. hysteric way,
Just in thinking how ridiculous it
proved;
And it mellowed to a cackle that was
sane enough, they say.
Till at last she giggled every time she
moved.
Why, she chuckled OUT her wrinkles, and
she snickered off her frowns.
And then took to all the things she
shouldn't do;
Now she's grown as fat as butter, and
has outSrown all her gowns:
But she laughs away at that disaster,
too.

Companion.

THANKS OF THE BAlLIE..

Possibly More Truth in Speech Than
He Intended.
There was an excellent man who, af-
ter serving his fellow citizens in Glas-
gov as a councillor, at length was
promoted to the dignity OF bailie, or
alderman, as the rank is called in
England. Though he was none the
worse on that account, it is the simple
fact that his education had been neg
lected This he proceeded to prove
himself happily unconscious-in his
speech of thanks:
II Gamma but say, my friends, that I
am proud of the honor of being made
bailie of this great city; and I am
even, I think, entitled to the honor,
for have gone through a the various
stages O. degradation that bailie has
to do to reach it,"
This recalls the famous story of the
councillor who objected to proposal
to place a candelabra in the council
chamber on the ground that they
would need to pay some one to play
it!

Cultivate the Memory.

Many people complain of having a
poor memory, and yet that faculty can
be developed as easily as can the
hiceps muscle. Nor is it necessary to
20 to any professor OF memory or to
master any elaborate system in order
to accomplish this result. One does
not have to go to a gymnasium to
strengthen the arm or back. Chopping
wood or. rowing boat will do it,.
Similarly. memory may be cultivated
by an effort and amid ordinary pur-
suits.
