THE darkest day in mans life is
when he thinks there is an easier
way of getting a dollar than by
squarely earning it. This may be
construed to apply to running an
account with business competitor
and denying the bill when a state
ment is presented.
OVER at Eveleth they have a bus
mess mems organization which ap-
pears to be doing things. They are
out favoring the passage of an or
dinance prohibiting the running at
large of live stock, and also recon-
mend the erection of a city hall, the
establishment of a city park and
other things for the permanent I'M.
provement of the place. A unity
of action is destinep to inure to the
benefit of any community.
THE proposition to extend the city
limits to include adjoining mining
properties receives the approval of
business men and citizens gener-
ally. And we see no reason for op-
position from any source. With
these valuable properties included
in the city limits Virginia would be
in position to own many public inn
provements, either buying existing
franchises or putting in new inn
provements to meet the constantly
increasing requirements of the city
without burdening any with taxes
| If about ten or twelve of those
men who were so active in the CUB:
ernatorial campaign would go to
Europe and stay there for year or
better, there would be no diffulty
in once again electing Republican
to fill the chair of chief executive OF
the state. 1t is the sore heads from
the last bitter fight who are to be
feared by the Republican party of
the state in the next campaign, and
not Gov. John A. johnson. With
unani1nity in the ranks of the Re-
publican party, John A. Johnson
would never know he started the
second time. His first election was
unexpected, even by himself and
his campaign managers. All that
is necessary for the Republicans to
again elect their man is to select a
good clean strong man, forget the
last election and get to work with a
will. In selecting man, however
it will be necessary to choose a
man who is more than figure
head; he must be candidate who
will command the confidence of the
entire party, and above all one who
was not closely allied with either of
the warning factions in the last
campaign.-Two Harbors Journal

A Dummy Wrist.

The cleverest trick that ever has
been played on the Duluth authorities
was executed by member OF the
chain gang at Duluth named William
Goodman. When the gang was being
escorted to the stone yard Goodwin
suddenly broke and ran. The deputy
in charge scarcely could believe his
eyes, for the prisoner all were hand.
cuffed in pairs. The deputy assumed
that Goodman has broken the steel
bracelet. Goodman was captured af-
ter chase covering half mile, and
then an investigation was made OF
how he got away. Then it was discov-
cred that Goodman had cleverly duped
the deputy. He had. not been hand
cuffed at all. Instead of presenting
his own wrist to be manacled, he off,
cred dummy wrist with a glove
stuffed with paper on the end of it,
while his own hand was pulled UP into
the sleeve of his coat.

REPRIEVE GRANTED.
Governor Of Vermont Gives Respite
of Four Months to Con-
denned Woman.

Windsor, VT, Feb. "a few hours
after receiving the last rites Of the
Catholic church and hearing her father
confessor read the prayers for the dying,
Mrs. Mary Mabel Rogers, who was SEN
fenced to die upon the gallows this al
terncon, listened with amazement to
the announcement Of High Sheriff
Henry H. Peck that Gov. Charles J..
Bell had granted her a reprieve of four
months. Preparations for the execution
had been perfected. The gallows had
been erected in the west wing Of the pris-
on, a heavy black curtain hanging from
the guardroom windows, shutting the
grewsome machinery of death from the
public view. The reprieve is granted
Mrs. Rogers so that her claim to not hav-
ing fair trial might be passed upon by
the supreme court.
The crime for which Mrs. Rogers was
sentenced to death was the murder Of
her husband, Marcus Rogers, on August
u, 1902, at Bennington.

STRIFE IN RUSSIAN ARMY.
Gen. Kuropatkin Said to Have Re-
signed-Alleged Cause-More
Fighting in Far East.

st. Petersburg, Feb. G-Rumors that
Gen. Kuropatkin has handed over his
command to Gen. Linevitch. commander
of the first army, have been current in
st.. Petersburg since the announcement
that Gen. Gripperberg had been relieved
of his command OF the Second army.
There are two conflicting versions OF the
incident. According to one Of them,
Grippenberg complained to the emperor
that Kuropatkln: had refused to support
his flanking movement, in view Of which
Grippenberg asked to be relieved. The
emperor, it is added. then telegraphed
to Kuropatkin asking for an explana-
ton, in reply to which Kuropatkin wired
that his health was shattered and re-
quested permission to turn over his COM
mand to Linevitch. According to the
second and more commonly credited
version of the affair. Kuropatkin COM
planned to the emperor that Grippenberg
undertook the flanking movement In de-
fiance of orders and demanded the gen.
erals dismissal.

NATIONAL NAME NEEDED.
Crying Want Of the United States
That Has Recently Been
Pointed Out.

Sid Edward Clarke's criticism of
Secretary Hays attempt to monopolize
for this country the term American
fails to note how bereft the people of
this republic are of anything like
rame, writes Washington correspon-
dent of the Boston Transcript. The
Omitted States" does not afford one,
since nearly every federated republic
on this hemisphere is entitled to use
the same designation. Mexico. and
Canada, and all the Central and South
American countries, and even little
Panama, has geographical name Of
its own and so is not dependent upon
what is really a term descriptive of
the form of government. America, to
be sure, is shared by other occupants
Of this hemisphere. but since they all
can use, they should be obliging
enough to give us what they do not
need to use themselves.
1t is also noted that almost every
where in the world, custom has given
us the term American to the exclusion
of other denizens of this hemisphere.
It would have been a good plan could
this country have taken unto itself a
name at a time when there were no
other Independent republics on this
hemisphere The declaration Of indie
pendence might, with propriety, have
given these united colonies which are
and of right ought to be free and in
dependent states" a name, but it did
not do so. The constitution might
with propriety have selected name
rs we'll as a capital and system of
organic law, but it did not do so. 1t
is wholly out of the question to think
now of supplying this want. Too many
interests have grown up, in literature
and song, even if an ideally suited
name were available. Nor is it easy
to change the name of countries in
this age Of the world. The proposal
which was seriously presented by sew
eral newspapers after President Nc
Kinley's death, that the Philippine
archipelago should be known as the
mckinley islands" promptly fell from
the weight of it's own absurdity. So
would any suggestion to name this
country Usonia. or Arizona, OR Rural
freedeliveryville.

OIL ON THE TROUBLED SEA
Only Six Gallons Required to Steady
Biz Liner During
Storm.

Six gallons of oil fed to an angry sea
protected the passengers of the big
Hamburg-American liner Pretoria from
the fury of a tempest all day long, re-
ports the New York Herald of late
date. The Pretoria arrived at her dock
in Hoboken from Boulogne nearly two
days behind her usual time.
According to Chief Officer LANCER,
the voyage was characterized by a sue
cession of storms from the time the
ship left the French port almost until
Sandy Hook was sighted.
On Saturday night of that week
the barometer gave sudden drop,
falling so low that Capt Schrotter felt
a bit anxious. The wind was blowing
hard from the south, and it increased
in velocity toward morning, when it
suddenly swung Numerically about
the compass and came down from the
north. AS the morning wore on the
force Of the gale increased, until by
IL o'clock it had grown to No. II pro-
portions, or about IS miles an hour
Despite her great size the Pretoria
was beginning to be tossed about by
gigantic waves like some frail cookie
shell of craft and the passengers
were having thoroughly miserable
time Of it. 1t was next to foolhardy
to venture out On the promenade decks.
and the cabin passengers kept to their
rooms or huddled about in disconsolate
groups in the corners of the compan-
fonway.
Capt. Schrotter as the sea became
higher, decided it was worth while to
try little "oil on troubled waters"
At waste hole on either side empty
Ing near the water a can containing
oil was placed so as to permit the con-
tents to tricl1le down slowly.
The effect was perceptible almost i'm
mediately. according to the ships Off
GERS. Within few minutes the waves
ceased breaking violently over the
bows and were transformed into long
gentle swell. Passengers felt the
change in the ships motion and ven-
tured out on deck to find that while
the wind was still blowing as hard as
ever the water around the ship for
some distance appeared 10 be hardly
affected.
TIE gale continued until midnight.
and the oil pouring was kept up until
that hour Yet in spite of the length
of the storm Chief Officer Langen said
not more than six gallons of the com
forter" was doled out to the ocean.

CAN CHOOSE USE OF MONEY.
President Makes Decision Regarding
Funds for Education Of In
dian Children.

Washington, Feb. 6.-President
Roosevelt has sent letter to Secretary
Hitchcock on the subject of authority
for granting contracts for the education
of Indians in UNCONVENTIONAL schools.
The president says that inasmuch as
the legal authority exists to grant the
request of the Indians unquestionably
they are entAled by moral right to have
their money used to educate the chill
dren at the schools they choose. The
president directs that the interior de-
partmtnt continue the practice unless
congress directs otherwise or the courts
hold:that the decision of the department
of justice to this effect is wrong.

Africans That Are Not Black.

Few people know that there are nearly
10000, 900 of natives in Central Africa
who are not black, and who do not look
much like the other savages in any way.
These natives have peculiar yellowish
copper color, and their skulls are much
larger than those of the negroes. Nc
body knows any reason for the differ
ence between them and the other Afri-
cans. Some scientists think that they
are descendants from European or Asia-
tic races that wandered into Africa tens
of thousands of years ago. OtherA say
that they are aboriginal inhabitants OF
the country and that their color is due
to the fact that they are gradually I'M
proving and growing beyond the negro
type But these are all guesses. All
that anybody knows with any certainty
is that they are there.
