market outlook certainly is much clearer than
It a few months ago, while there has been
change in the general business situation that
suggests UnfavorabIe developments, particularly
as in all lines Of trade greater caution is being
exercised, with a tendency to bring about
heaIthful reaction from the rapid pace that has
long been current. 1t is too early to argue
on the probable outcome of this years crops
but even If the harvests OF 1907 should fall far
below the average of the last few years, that
factor IN itself would not bring about widespread
business distress. The farmers and the bust

situation in the near future, If present ideas or

agitation of this character is not favored by

Claims q Discrepancy.

J. L. Kimball, president of the
city council and owner of a lot at
the corner of Maple and Central,
was one of five property-owners
assessed for lateral sewer in 1908
which was never put in, but for
which payment was made. Mr..
Kimball has receipt for $2O13, he
states, for special assessment for
such improvement, but the city
records show such assessment to
have been $16.71, while the general
sewer assessment against the prop
erty amounted to $l.9S, total of
$1S69.
These figures would show dis
crepancy of $1.44, and the president
of the council naturally wonders
what became of the amount-not
because of the sum in itself 80
much as because of the principal
involved - and proposes digging
into details 80 far az possible in his
search for the missing coin.
AT the time this assessment was
made for an improvement still un-
completed w. H. Eaton was acting

1t is quite while since one Van

he must have brought up with him
from the lower strata of society.
But the public has not forgotten

a long time, and said Vanderbilt

that he had not been quite 80 pub
licly spoken in his damnations.
County Attorney Norton, who re-
Gently informed the people of St.
Louis county that their public af-
fairs were "nobody's business but
his own" may have occasion to
wish that he, toe, had not been go
quick with his tongue. Not that
Mr.. Norton is 80 very different
from great many other public
servants. Were an election pend.
ing, the county attorney would
probably have been very pleased to
give the newspapers all the infor.
nation they desired, but with the
office he, like many other public
officers, acquired the feeling that
he owned something.
There is but one thing which Mr..
Norton, or any other public officer,
owns in connection with the office
he fills, and that is service to the

however, that the road can reach
the boundary before the first of

thirty miles away, and there is still

Shut Out in the Ninth.

Virginia diamond was played on
Sunday, when the Big Duluth team
met and went down to defeat be-

An enormous crowd greeted the
boys, showing that interest in the
national sport had not been dim.

high board fence, but the
fence as erected was not high
enough to keep the wind out, the
boys playing and the spectators
watching the game through clouds
of dust as it swirled over the field
and shut off the view of numerous
exciting plays, thereby failing to
give one proper appreciation of
the decision of the umpire in many
instances.
Louie Cohen, who knows every
ball player from the time when
Adam made the first home run, um-
pired the game and upheld his rep
utation of making decisions, not
withstanding the fact that some
of the Big Duluth bunch con-
tinued to proclaim their dissatis-
| faction at some of the stunts in a
manner which eventually blew down
the grand stand, letting some four
hundred occupants strike the earth
with force 80 great to create quite
as much of peace disturbance as
would the fitting of the lid on the
saloons of the city. In the melee,
however, no injury of particular
note was sustained by any, al
though several shins were given

Much Damage.
Very. Very Ill.

William c. Mcmillan. who a week
ago Saturday seemed on the high
road to recovery from the illness
which has afflicted him for the past
several weeks, has been worse ever
since that day and Monday his con-
dition was admitted at the home in De-
troit to be very, very serious and very
dangerous. DR.. Robert II. Babcock,
of Chicago, one of the noted physi-
clans of the country. a heart special
fist, was in consultation with DR.. Jen-
nings Sunday and could hold out little
hope. DR.. Babcock returned to Chicago
Sunday. The immediate trouble is
heart dilation, caused by the strain
of the recent pneumonia attack, the
heart having been unable to recover
strength.
1t is said that Mr.. Mcmillan went
into the senatorial campaign against
the warnings of his physicians, both
DR.. Jennings and DR.. Shattuck, Of Bos-
ton (the latter attended Mr.. McMil-
Ian in the easD, that in his condition
the excitement and strain of a cam
paign would certainly have a serious
result.
DR.. Jennings said Monday that Mr..
McMillan's physical trouble is Of long
standing, dating from an attack of
myocarditis, or inflammation of the
heart muscles, two or three years ago.
A year ago last summer there was a
serious attack of heart trouble. and
Mr.. Mcmillan went to Manchester-by-
the-Sea, Mass, and to New Hampshire
for recuperation. The heart recovered,
and until this last Illness Mr.. McMil-
Ian had not been under medical sur
Veillance.
