position as seamstress in a rich Fifth

In her statement Miss keirser said
in last April she saw an advertisement
in New York paper saying an owner
of hotel in Pennsylvania desired a
housekeeper, intentions matrimony."
She answered the advertisement, and
received letter in a few days asking
her to meet the writer at the Grand
Central station. New York. The letter
said both were to wear violets, so they
might recognize each other.
He Wanted $1,000.
She met the man, who said he was
Ernest Paul and that he had hotel
in Millville. Pa. Miss Keirser said she
met Paul several times. and a few
weeks after they first met Paul told
her he intended to lease a hotel in
Fortieth street, this city, for $4,000.
At the next meeting Paul proposed
marriage to her. and said she could
take charge of the hotel in this city
and he would devote his time to look
ing after his other interests.
In May Miss Keirser met Paul again.
He said he needed $1,000 to close an
option on the Fortieth street hotel. He
said his affairs were in such a condi-
ton that he could not get the ready
cash. Miss Keirser said she drew the
$1,000 from saving fund where she

had money deposited and gave it to
Paul. He left her. and said he would
return to Millville that night.
Continuing her statement. Miss Kerr
ser said that on the same night, after
giving Paul the money, she received
telegram from him stating that his
hotel in Millville was on fire. The
next morning, she says, she received
another message from Paul stating
that the hotel had been burned to the
ground, and that it would be several
weeks before he could get to New York
again. She also said that Paul had
promised to send her a judgment note
for $1,000, but she never heard from
him after she received the telegram
stating that the hotel had been burned
down.
Woman Used as DecOy.
In the latter part of June Miss Kerr
street police station and told her story
and said she had been swindled. De-
tectives Herring and Schmacke were
put on the case to investigate. They
watched the papers for a week or more
similar to the one Miss Keirser had
oho GU. lucy "IotC q uCCOS lSllSI
in English, but received no answer
A week afterward they wrote an
other letter in German and received
letter signed "E. Paul." and making
the same statements as those in the
first letter received by Miss Keirser.
They say that Paul asked to meet the
recipient of the letter at the Grand
Central station, and both were to wear
violets as a means of Identification.
The detectives sent woman to meet
Paul and arrested him there a few
moments after he had met the woman
sent to lure him on. When arrested
the detectives testified. Paul had in his
pockets twenty letters from women,
all in answer to his advertisements.
Assistant District Attorney John
Hart said that Paul has been indicted
in Pennsylvania for swindling the

of $4,000.

operation for some time today mark
ed the formal Inauguration of the
enterprise. 1t was made the occa-
sion for public demonstration, for
the reason that the people own the
railway system. 1t is the first prac-
tical test of municipal ownership of
street railways anywhere in the Unit
ed States and as a consequence the
success of the enterprise will be
watched with close attention.
Two years ago, following the sue
cess of the city's move in taking over
the water and lighting plants, Mayor
Forsythe and delegation of citi-
zens went before the state legislature
and had the city's charter changed
so as to permit it to operate and own
street railway system. The system
just completed is first-class in its
equipment and compares favorably
with the street railways in other cit
les of the same size. In connection
with the railway line the city has
purchased for $4,000 a tract of 1870
acres for use as public park and
fair ground.

HUNT IN MINNESOTA.
Mrs. Alice Longworth Said to Hav,
Accented Invitation.


Rumor has it that Mrs. Nicholas
Longworth, the presidents daughter,
is to be lin our midst" some time be-
fore the holidays.
1t is understood that she is to
chaperone party of Eastern young
people on devastating excursion in
this neck of the woods.
Just how soon Mrs. Longworth and
her party are coming cannot be said,
but that she is coming, several per-
sons who claim to be in the know tod
a reporter in Duluth in confidence.
They cautioned him not to say who
told them. but they saw telegram re-
ceived by John c. Greenway, the Oil
yer Mining company's superintendent
on the Western Mesaba range, from
Alice Roosevelt Longworth, and to
the effect that she and some friends
would gladly accept his invitation to
hunt eder in Minnesota some time this
year.
Mr.. Grsenway is warm personal
friend OF Inc president. and he has
repeatedly extended invitations to
President Roosevelt and all the men,
bers of his faily to be his guests at
hunting parties in the Minnesota
woods.
Possibly it is the intention of Mrs.
Longworth and her party to extermin-
ate the bears which are known to be
so thick in this part of the United
States, history having told us that the
Roosevelt family rs sure death to
bruins.
The reports of the coming of Mrs.
Longworth do not inclue mention of
her husband, who is busy with a poll
tical campaign this fall. And in that
campaign Mrs. Longworth is to have
no part, if the reports that Congress-
man Longworth would not allow his
wife to appear in the limelight of
politics. even to help his chances, may
be believed.

of the presidents daughter.-Duluth

One hundred thousand dollars is the
approximate amount which the Great
Northern railway company will have
to pay in adjusting the claims of wild
ows and next of kin for the ten human
lives lost in the train wrecks at Cam
den, Wash, and Beaver, B. c.. in July.
The only likelihood of suit in court
is that by the relatives of N. Edward
Munson, engineer of the fast mail,
which was wrecked near Camden.
The officials of the road declare he
was negligent in maintaining a high
rate of speed and on that account it
is sought to reduce the claim of the
family to minimum, but the family
is holding out for $4,000. Families
of l. NJ. Cornthwaite and T. j. DOL
bow, both of Spokane, each settled
with the company for $4,000, while
others ranged from $500 to $4,000.
Professor Grimstad, of Colville, Wash.

PROSPERITY
SONG FROM
WHOLE LAND

For the purpose of determining pres
ent business conditions of the country
at large and to ascertain the views of
business men as to the outlook for con-
tinued presently the Dry Goods Econ
Omist of New York recently sent pos
tai cards to more than three thousand
of it's retail subscribers In the various
states with the following questions:
What are the crop conditions in
your section? How are the farmers
fixed financially? How is labor en-
ployed in your city and vicinity Is
there anything in sight that tends to
strengthen or weaken your belief in
the continuance of prosperity, and how
do your fall purchases compare with
those Of year ago."
Summarizing the replies, the Econ
omist says
"Of all the large number of replies
received, not more than one per cent
is other than optimistic, and the views
of nearly every merchant who is in
clined to regard the outlook as gloomy
are based, not upon actual conditions,
but on some obviously fanciful or SEN
timental ground, or are apparently due
to some characteristic inherent in the
writer's composition.
Taking the country by section,
these conditions are shown: In the
North Atlantic states, unusual pros
perity prevails. Industrial conditions
are excellent; labor is not only fully
employed at high wages, but operatives
are scarce. In New England the ex-
tile mills could employ more hands if
they were to be had. The mines of
Pennsylvania are in full operation, or
nearly so, crop conditions are favor
able and farmers are described as
financially well fixed.
I'm the South Atlantic states the
farmers are in better condition finan-
cially than at any time sinve the civil
war. The cotton growing sections re-
port considerable damage to plants
trough continuous rains. but other
crops have Jared better. The cotton
manufacturing industry is in excellent
shape and the miners of Virginia and
West Virginia are full yemployed. The
chief problem in this section is the
scarcity of labor both industrial and
agricultural. The farmers have all
enjoyed two years of bountiful crops,
with high prices.
Throughout the north central states
enormous crops are indicated. The
only adverse report is from limited
section of Missouri. where drouth has
prevailed. The farmers are wealthy
numbers of mortgages have been paid
off and vast sums will evidently be
distributed this fall and winter
throughout this populous division. The
industrial conditions are equal!
prosperous except that there is a
scarcity of labor. The present situa'
ton is excellent and the outlook fol
continued good times seems assured
"In the western states farmers anG
cattle raisers are exceptionally pros
porous, but labor is scare and wage:
very high"
