The Prettiest Girl In
River Falls.

Miss Della Carson is the most
beautiful woman in Chicago. The
Chicago Tribune, under whose aus
pices she has been awarded that
honor, claims that she is probably
the most beautiful woman in the
west, and possibly in the entire
United States.
That this claim would be CALLING
to the men and women of Wiscon-
sin was doubtless known to the
Tribune. That it was an unjust
claim was recognized first by the
Milwaukee Sentinel. An offer to
find in Wisconsin a woman more
beautiful and challenge to submit
to competent judges the relative
beauty of the Chicago girl and the
selection to be made from among
Wisconsin's fair women was made
by The Sentinel to the Tribune.
The challenge was accepted, as an
#nounced III The Sentinel Feb. %,
and the Milwaukee paper is now re-
ceiving portraits of the handsome
women in the state.
Milwaukee, great city and famous
home of fair women that it is, is
conceded to have no better chance
to furnish Wisconsin's challenger
than is enjoyed by this city. An
especial effort is being made by The
Sentinel to secure representative
collection of photographs of the
beautiful women of the whole state
to the end that Wisconsin may send
into competition with Miss Carson
that type of beauty which will have
the best prospects of winning the
judges decision, and which will be
thoroughly representative of the
state.
With all confidence The Sentinel
enters upon it's quest for Miss Car
sons superior. Every city, village
and hamlet in Wisconsin will be af
forded an opportunity to win the
honor of producing the beauty who
shall be selected, and it behooves
them all to do their share to uphold
the honor of the state. River Falls,
modest in most of its claims to su-
periority, will doubtless rally to the
support of its local beauties to the
end that they be given fair repre-
sentation.
On and after March 10 The Senti-
mel will publish each week in its.
Sunday Magazine the portraits OF
many handsome women from all
parts of the state. That the women
of River Falls should be represent
ed will be the opinion of their men
friends. That the future install
ments of The Sentinel may contain
pictures of beautiful women of this
city and that there may be more
than possibility of River Falls,
woman being selected as Miss Car
sons challenger puts upon the low
ers, brothers, husbands and sons of
this city the duty of getting busy in
the interests of their favorites. Send
the pictures of the handsome wom-
en- of your acquaintance to The Sen
tinel and thereby aid that newspaper
in its patriotic quest and do your
part in uphold;ng the fame of the
great Badger state.

Attorney General r. N. Stevens rem.
dered all opinion that the law applied
to foreign as we'll as domestic corpora

There are approximately 700 foreign
corporations authorized to do business
in North Dakota. each of which were
promptly appraised, from the secretary
OF states office, of the opinion re.
ceived from the attorney generals Of
flee. While this is the first time the
law has been applied to foreign cor
porations these organizations are filing
their reports promptly, under the new
order. and this new source of revenue
will amount to about $1,000, which
will make Il material addition to the
funds received by the state through
the secretary of states office.

BRIGHTEN THIEVES AWAY.
Attempt Made to Rob Postoffice a,
Leeds.

Another postoffice robbery might
nave been accomplished at Leeds at
1870 one morning recently except for
the fact that Postmaster julius Jacob
son. who sleeps in the Office, scared
away the burglar. The attempt took
place at 1870 o'clock, when Julius ia
cobson, the postmaster, was aroused
BY noise. Sitting up, he saw flash
lantern at the back door, held by a
masked man. The robber Immediate
ly took alarm, seeing that Mr.. Jacob
son was awake. and made his escape.
An examination showed that he had
entered the building by prying open
a window of the ice cream parlor back
OF the postoface, and then had burst
open the door Of the Office by using
a Jimmy. A pickaxe was also found by
the side of the door, indicating that
the would-be burglar intended to use
It in forcing open the safe.
The man left no trace of his identity,
and up to late hour no clue had
been found. The supposition is, how.
ever. that he was a new arrival in
town, as he did not know that the
postmaster slept in the Office.

TO COLLECT CORPORATION COIN
State Law Provides That All Corporations Organized for Profit
Shall File Annual Reports and Pay Fee

Under a provision of the statutes.
corporations organized for pecuniary
profit and authorized to do business
in the state are required to report
annually to the secretary of state. and
are required to pay fee for filing this
report. Since the law has been enact
ed it has been held that it applies only
to domestic corporations. The reve-
nue. thus derived for the state this
year will reach over $500.
While formerly it has been consid-
cred that foreign corporations were
not required to file an annual report.
Secretary of State Blaisdell raised the
question as to whether or not this APP
piled to both domestic and foreign.
corporations. The question raised by
Mr.. Blaisdell caused some confiction
of ideas in the matter, and the law
was not enforced as far as foreign

Lodged Without Cost.

Enjoying the best beds in the Hotel
Metropole at Fargo without paying a
cent for his lodging is said to have
been the experience of Frank l..
Bridge, transient painter, who for
merly resided at Jamestown. Bridge
has been there for Il week or two ON
u celebration. and his system was to
60 to the hotel and take possession of
an unoccupied room for the night and
skip early in the morning.
The plan worked all right till the
clerks assigned other guests to the
room and found the sleeper. Even
this was all right for night or two,
as it was thought some mistake had
been made. Bridge is also charged
with issuing checks on jamestown
bank in which he at one time had an
account.

ATTACK OLD N. D. DIVORCE LAWS

Spanish Countess, Divorced in District
Court Of cass County by Her Illus.
band. Starts Suit to Test Validity
Of Decree.
The divorce law of this state as It
was in the statute books of 1895 is
to be placed conspicuously in the lime
light through the courts of New York
'ity. and at least the validity of one
1ecree issued in the district court of
Cass county is to be severely attacked
In 1895 Count Gibocea, a dstin-
yuished Spaniard from New York city.
brought suit for divorce against his
wife. then resident of Cuba. The
1ecree was granted to the court, the
countess not appearing or putting ir
defense. Ultimately the count mar
"ied lady who also obtained a d.
vorce in this county, and they were
married by Judge Roberts. county
Judge at that time. Now comes wife
No. l. who has brought suit against
the count in New York, and among
other things claims heavy alimony.
and her attorneys will attack the law
under which the divorce was granted,
on the ground that the decree has no
validity only in the State of North
Dakota.
The attorneys of Count Gibocea.
New York, have ordered through a
county clerk the divorce record. and
it is stated that there are likely to be
some interesting legal fireworks in the
divorce courts of the Empire state, and
possibly witnesses may be summoned
from that city.-N.

North Dakotans Foresee Serious Trou.
bic When Wheat Shipping Gets
Good.
That there will be car famine just
as soon as wheat shipping becomes
general seems certain. The past week
the railway companies were unable to
fill promptly the orders for cars. and
there was practically no wheat ship
ped.
Usually the Great Northern has
from 500 to 1000 cars at Carman and
a plentiful supply at Grand Forks,
Larimore, Devils Lake, Minot and 9TH
err points ready for use when the heavy
wheat shipping season opens. but this
year the conditions are much like last
year.
1t is explained that the cars are be-
ing used principally for coal and lum-
Der shipments. On account of the
high price of wheat. barley and other
products, it is expected that the de-
mand for cars will be greater than last
year.

CALLS LAW IN QUESTION.

Nolth OakotanS Claim lnvalidation Of
New Statute Put Old Reward Pro.
vision Into Effect.
In the supreme court at Grand
Forks an order was issued citing
State Auditor H. L. Holmes to show
why certain warrants due Grand
Forks county for amounts paid out
as rewards to informers against blind
piggers are not issued.
The case involved the question of
whether the decision of the supreme
court in declaring unconstitutional
the temperance commissioner law does
not put into effect the reward law,
which had been repealed by the pass
age of the temperance commissioner
act. The state auditor has declined to
issue any warrants in payment of
"spotter" rewards until the supreme
court has ruled on the matter. The
action is brought by States Attorney
Wineman Of Grand Forks county, and
the writ in the case is returnable
Sept. Is, when arguments will be made
before the supreme court.

Attorney General Gets Fifteen Days
to File Briefs in Mileage Book Case
Roads Decide to Fight Coal Rate
Action In the State Tribunals.
At special session of the supreme
court of North Dakota, held ut Grand
Forks, attorneys for the Great North
ern, Northern Pacific and 500 railways
sought to show cause why Attorney
General McCue should not be- grant
Ell leave to make an application for
writ OF mandamus to compel the
railroads to comply with the law
passed by the last legislature requir-
ing the railways to place on sale Il
family mileage book at 500 for IL
1.000-mile book. Judge N. c.. Young
and j. s. Watson of Fargo appeared
Tor the 500 and Northern Pacific and
G. j.. Murphy for the Great Northern.
The arguments were presented, and
Attorney General McCue was given
fifteen days in which to prepare briefs
and the railway companies five days
additional in which to answer.
In the coal rate case, in which At
torney General McCue asks leave to
file an injunctional writ against the
companies, restraining them from
charging higher rate than the state
law provides for. the railway COM
panies asked for ten days time in
which to file their return. The COM
panies decided to not ask for trans
fer of the coal rate case to the federal
court.
One Of the most important argu
mcnts advanced by Attorney ]. S.
Watson in the mileage book case was
that the United States supreme court
had declared unconstitutional a law
passed by Michigan relating to the
cost OF mileage books. In his argu-
ment Attorney General McCue claimed
that there was quite difference be-
tween the Michigan law and that
passed by the North Dakota legisla'
ture.-N.
