BOY IS KILLED
Accidentally Shot at the Store in
Vega Last Saturday
Afternoon.

Rudolph Sundin, the fourteen and
one-half year old son of Lars Sun
din in Vega was accidentally shot at
the Vega store last Saturday after
noon at about six o'clock. Alex
Paulson, a boy of about seventeen
years old, had gun and as he was
standing at the corner of the store
building, Oscar Vikse, another boy,
came up from behind and com
menced pushing him. In the tussle
between the two boys the gun was
discharged, the contents penetrating
the groin of Rudolph Sundin, who
stood a few feet in front of them.
A physician was sent for from War
rem, but before he arrived the boy
had bled to death, another victim
to the careless handling OF shooting
weapons. The dead boys funeral
was held on Monday. His prema-
ture death is severe blow to the
parents.

not THIS YEAR
Great Northern Will Not Build
Into Roseau this
y
Fall.

1t appears now that in all proba-
bility Roseau will not get the much
coveted railroad this year for the
reason that the railroad company
has difficulty in securing the right
of-way. In a number of instances
it has been found necessary to re-
sort to condemnation proceedings,
and in these proceedings the hear
ings have been set for Oct. goth.
Not before Nov. 1st at the earliest
would it be possible to acquire the
right-of-way and that time is too
late for active railroad construction
this season. Thus Roseau will have
to get along without a railroad a
while longer.
Warren sheaf., 1905-09-28
T Railroad Talk.

The Region is gratifed to note
that the Great Northern intends to
continue building east from Roseau.
From business point of view the
extension of the road from Roseau to
Warroad is good thing for both
places and shrewd move on the
part of the railroad company. The
line east will open up and develop
a country which without a road might
be largely Improbable for years to
come, but with railroad through it,
there will be encouragement to the
settlers to clear their land and make
every acre of use in stock raising
and grain growing. Warroad will
be greatly benefited by the exten-
sion as will the rest of the country.
1t will give an outlet for our produce
and our farmers and merchants in the
eastern end will not have to worry
much longer with a Canadian road.
Direct service with the cities will be
had and the entire county rejoices
at the prospects of railroad facilities
from end to end.-Roseau Region.

Try It Next Year.

Women who go to the summer resort
hotels or country boarding houses have
discovered the inconvenience of having
their wardrobe suspended on row Of
hooks behind scanty curtain, which
makeshift must serve for a closet in
more than one place. 1t is wise pre-
caution to take along some extra hooks
to add to the scant row, and also some
empty spools to turn over the hooks
to prevent them from rusting gowns.
Another good idea IS to take along a.
sheet in the trunks Tack this along
the wall under the hooks Sew loops
d tape along the bottom end and when
the skirts are in place double the sheet
up over them, fastening these loops on
the hooks. Pillow cases hung on tapes
may also serve as skirt bags. These
devices take up little room in the trunk
and protect the clothing from dust in
The absence Of a genuine closet.

Judicial Ditch Proceedings.

A petition for a two mile exten-
sion of the judicial district ditch on
line between Marshall and Kittson
counties, on north line of town of
Slnnott, was made some time ago.
The viewers, Chas. Wittensten and
q. .. Cross, of this city, and E. c..
Yetter, of Hallock, having previously
been appointed by the judge, met and
organized in this city on September
22, and on Tuesday this week they
were out to view the location of the
ditch and will soon be ready to
make their report. The people in
the locality where the ditch is to
run are all enthusiastically in favor
OF its construction. This year the
need of better drainage has forced
itself upon the attention of the
people as it never did before.

TRIED TO PASS
BAD MONEY
Man Of Many Aliases caught al
Oslo and Brought to the
County Jail.

Last Saturday a man who calls
himself James Howard, though that
is not his real name, was captured
at Oslo while attempting to pass
bogus money. He bought a meal
ticket from A. L. Lundahl, a res
taurant keeper, in payment for
which he rendered a bogus twenty
dollar bill, which was accepted by
the waiter in the absence of the pro-
prietor, and good money given
back in change. Mr.. Sundahl,
upon arriving at his place of busi-
ness soon learned that the bill was
worthless, and he notified the other
business men there to be on the
lookout. Later in the day the man
entered Walter Fees restaurant
and attempted to play the same
game there, but then he was over
powered and hustled into a carriage
and taken to Warren by A. L. Sun
dahl, Walter Fee, John Haugen and
John Dallum. On the way in they
met Mr.. Dady, of the sheriff. office,
to whom they turned him over.
The man was brought before Justice
Keenan, on Tuesday, this week. He
entered plea OF guilty and was
sentenced to ninety days in the
county Jail. It is said that Billy
Rogers is the name by which he is
most known, and that he is noted
criminal character from the Red
river country.

CONCERNING THE VEIL.
Both Chiffon and the Veil Of Lace Arc
Now Very Fashionable for
Draping the Hat.

Slowly but surely the lace veil has
been making its way back as part OF
the summer and early fall millinery in
way that promises that it will have
to be reckoned with in the fall hats.
So far it has taken the form Of the
draped veil or of the real lace veil rath-
er than the face meshes, which have
been superseded to certain extent by
the reign of the little invisible hair nets
Both the chiffon and the real lace veil are
such factors in Partisan headgear just
now that whatever shape will most
prettily lend itself to the draping of q
veil becomes the favorite. The turban
for instance, lends itself to the draping
of lace veil, and the turban, 1t Is pre-
dicted, Is going to be success this au-
tumn. One Of the points to remember
Is that the veil in the best taste is OF
less gay color than matching the hat;
the little gray hat will have the gray
veil, the little dark blue hat the dark
blue veil, and the same in all colored
millinery. This applies to lace as we'll
as to chiffon, and the lace wells when
to match the hat.
The attractiveness of one Of these CO..;
ored lacy affairs thrown back over the
hat is far greater than a chiffon one,
which can never be relied upon to place
itself becomingly, and the white ones
have an exceedingly smart effect, and
are especially appropriate for nice hats
and gowns. Much of the effectiveness
Of a particularly attractive little cos
tune in navy blue depended upon the
chic look of the white lace veil which
was worn around the hat. The gown
was simple eton coat, and the short
skirt, sun plated Of blue yelling. had.
of course, elbow sleeves. A white mus
lin waist had a plated jabot and tiny
blue cravat. The hat was burnt straw,
| tipped over the nose and filed at the
back with American beauty roses.
Around the hat was twist of black vel
vet, and over the face was cream lace
veil. The fact that these little wells are
about the price of six dollars for the
real will at least prevent their being
common until good imitation laces are
made in their place; will prevent their
| being overdone, for one season at least,
although there are imitation 1aces.
which are also washable, which are not
to be despised- When It is considered
| however that veil Of this kind is
about all that is needed for the trim
ming of a hat, it is by no means an ex-
| travagant investment even for the real
lace. The best Of these wells are the
| ones which come in shapes which are
| almost straight lengths, but which are
slightly curved at the bottom and
rounded at the corners. A novelty
which comes in square is an add look
ing affair, which was only designed to
wear over the extremely fiat lingerie
hats. and which is thrown over them.
hanging with square effect behind,
which will not be liked by American
women. Even In the wells Of conven-
tional shape there Is choice in becom-
ingness, those with less border and far
apart pattern being the most attractive
when worn over the face. -

The Minnesota Times Suspends
Publication.

The Minneapolis Times sus-
pended publication on Sunday, Sept.
"a, after an existence of nearly 16
years. The Minneapolis Tribune
has contracted to fill it's unexpired
subscription list and arrangements
are made to pay all the current bills
and the bonds which are secured
by mortgage on the plant and other
property.
The discontinuance of The Times
was announced on the last day OF
publication. Ever since last Janu-
AIRY frequent rumors were in circu-
lation of a suspension of the paper,
which failed to take place. Finally
when least looked for, the paper
stopped.
With the disappearance of The
Times Minneapolis now has only
one morning paper, The Tribune,
the daily paper OF largest eireula-
tion in the Northwest.
From the standpoint of the read
ers it is probably a decided advan-
tage to have one great strong paper
than to have part of the reading
public patronize another paper.
The Tribune now has over 100000
paid circulation, making it nearly
twice as great as any other paper.
No paper has 800, 900 readers, which
is about the number that read The
Minneapolis Tribune every day,
without hitting the bulls eye of
popularity in the Northwest. Some
people will be sorry to miss The
Times, but there is some consola-
ton in the knowledge that by this
very fact it's contemporary, The
Minneapolis Tribune, will be bene-
flied and materially improved.
The Minneapolis Tribune is one
of the dozen great dailies of Ameri-
ca that have over 1OO,O subscrib-
ers and purchasers. We are glad
of its success and certainly Mime
apolis and the Northwest are proud
of the greatest daily, The Minnea-
polls Tribune.
