MESSAGES AND PAPERS
 OF THE CONFEDERACY."

The greatest interest has been man ifested in a new and most remarkable publication, compiled from the original official papers of the Confederate States, which papers were captured at Rich mond at the close of the war, and are now in the archives of tho Federal Gov ernment at Washington. This compila- tIon. complete in two volumes, is the work of the Hon. James D. Richardson, late Representative from Tennessee. The compilation is entitled Messages and Papers of the Confederacy," and embraces all of the annual. special and veto messages, proclamations and of ficial papers of Jefferson Davis, the President of the Confederate States. and all of the interesting and import ant diplomatic correspondence between the Southern States and their comnAjs- sioners in foreign lands.
 This compilation, coming at a time when all sectional bitterness engen- dered by the Civil War has substded. and when the participants in the bloody conflict which arraYed brother against brother and filled the land with mourning, can together claim with pride the reunited country as their own. will be appreciated and read vita interest by the people of all sections of our country.
 It may be too early yet to write without partisan coloring a correct and accurate history of the great war between the States. but 1t is not too early to present to the American peo- pie a perfect compilation of the au- thentic sources of the history of those eventful times. Entertaining this de- sire, MT. Richardson a few years ago compiled. by authority of Congress, the Messages and Papers of the Presi- dents," which comprised the State pa pers of all the Presidents from Wash lngtol to Mckinley. Later he con ceived the idea of publishing another work as a companion piece to his first great effort. Realizing the deep inter-

 A publishing house advertised that it would pay s1,00o for prize story deal ing with the life of Christ. Her moth CT believed Mrs. Kingsley could win the prize. Mrs. Kingsley gathered her ma terial. concentrated herself on the work of writing the story and in seven weeks had finished Titus; A Comrade of the Cross, It was the first story the author had written. Three hun dred and seyenty-six other manuscript stories came into competition with it. yet 1t took the $1,000 In book form 2.000 900 copies of 1t have been sold, and 1t has been translated into fourteen languages.
 'rTTtus was published in 1894. Sew eral other books followed. and several years passed. Then in 1900 came a transformation in Mrs. Kingsley's It, erary Ideals. What it was is shown in her small book, The Transhguration of Miss Philuria," of which more than 300, 900 copies have been sold. Why? Because in that book the author ex- ploits her faith in the all encircling good for us all. It appeals to the great world of people who want and need things. It is said that girls here and InSEC are MISS CluDSs . Upon table in a library in Washing ton city is a notice that the little Miss Philura" volume Is not to be removed from that particular place.
 The author has published several sto- ries along the same new thought line, so called. One of her principal sue cesses is The Singular Miss Smith. " ''The Intellectual Miss Lamb" was a great story among college girls. Last year came The Resurrection of Miss | Cynthia" in which some of the char acters from Miss Philura" reappear Miss Cynthia was a single woman whom doctor had seutenced to die ir year.

Judge Jackson. of West Virginia has been forty-four years. on the Federal bench, longer than any other living man has held such a position. A few days ago he expressed the opinion that 'un- less a check is put upon the present tend sncy toward corruption, which has been gaining in force during the last few years, this country will be in a bad way. That fhere Is corruption in private life is demonstrated by the in- creasing number of divorce cases. The antics of high life. aped by those of lesser wealth, are largely responsible.

by the Green Bay Business Mems association
against f. A. Diekman of the Diekman Manu-
featuring company to recover $50 in dues
The defendant claimed to have instructed a
collector to have his name taken off the MEM
bership list The association stated that. a
written form of retirement was the only kind
recognized according to the bylaws. Judge
Hastings sustained the contention Of the plain
tiff.
The other case was the one in which 81. F:
Smith of Uconto figured as defendant, and
was brought about by some Uconto re ,tdents,
who petitioned the court to compel Smith
to give up one Of two offices he is at present
holding. those Of county judge and justice of
the peace. Judge Hastings decided that the
two offices conficted in some instances, and
smith will therefore retain but one, that of

Fees Will Not Pay the Expenses of

Wolf from the Door-Law Is a Dead
Letter.

Minnesota hotel inspection law is a
farce. 1t is not strong enough for one
thing, to enforce the recommendations
Of the inspector If any hotel proprietor
resists. Worse than that, the law does
not provide living for the inspector,
and he has been obliged to seek other
employment.
The law was passed last winter and
Governor johnson named j. NJ. Ryan
of Minneapolis as inspector. He went
to work and inspected all the hotels of
the twin cities, Duluth, Winona and
three or four other larger towns, and
then found that he wos losing money
by going any farther. There is no ap-
preparation, and he must get: ms ex-
penses and all his compensation from
the fees: The fees are not large enough
smaller towns. The fee for most hotels
is only SO cents, and trip costing 81
or SIS would only bring 81 in fees. So,
after covering the large cities, Mr..
Ryan had to quit and find some other
means of making a living. 1t is fig

Cleverness and unusual daring were
displayed by the armed fobber who en-
tered Burke Brothers drug store, at

Burke, the proprietor, and his friend,
man named Mckee. ~
Shortly before IL O'Clock Burke and
Mckee were in the store alone, and
were about to close up when the robber
entered. He wore no mask, was armed
with a large revolver. The two men
held up their hands as soon as he en-
tered. - .. Isl. xii 49,. -,
With perfect GOODNESS the man went
thru their pockets, taking their money
and then opening the cellar door Or
dered them both to 60 down. They
obeyed and the robber went thru the
store, taking all, the cash and stamps.
He then left after locking the front
door. s
In the meantime Mr.. Burke escaped
from the cellar and ran after police
man The bandit however, met him
a short distance from the store and
again pointing the revolver at him
made him return to the store and crawl
back into the cellar.
At this point Mrs. Burke came down
stairs from her rooms above and meet
ing the highwayman asked what the
trouble was inside. &,
"There's row in there,'' he said
and then ran away into the darkness
Mrs. Burke freed the two men from the
cellar, but the highwayman escaped.
