Brotherhood Reading Room.

The most entertaining place to be
found in Pennington is the basement
of the NJ. +. Church, in which the
reading room and gymnasium are 10.
Gated 1t was the plan of Mr.. Thomp-
son, the pastor OF the church, and we
believe he has been ably seconded by
people of all denominations in pro-
vlding q place where men and boys
may spend n pleasant and profitable
afternoon and eveiug. The last Tues.
dap of each month has been given
over for "Ladies' Night" Last
Tuesday about fifty responded to the
invitation, and it was quite delight
fnl affair. Mrs. Thompson and Mrs.
Hays were hos;esses for the evening.
Miss Mildred Green, instructor of elo.
cution and physical culture at Carleton,
took charge OF class of girls and put
them through some exercises. There
Is a piano player in the room, and
this furnished much pleasure to the
guests. Mrs. Thompson and Miss
Wilma Denman rccled; Miss Jessie
Martin sang "For You, Sweetheart, "
and Miss Nell Pipkin played a solo.
There is very good library of stand.
dard works aud modern fiction and all
the late magazines aud papers, and
there are tables provided for chess aud
checkers. There is no excuse now for
boys to loaf around the streets in the
afternoon aud evening, for these rooms
are open to all under certain condi.
tons, which are easily complied with.
On the last Tuesday night in June it
j, expected and hoped that the attend.
aucc of ladies will be very materially
increased, so that everybody may be-
come acquainted with this factor for
good in our midst.

The KiIgure Damage Suit.

The case of Eugene Kilgore against
the st Louis Smelling and Refining
Company, commonly called the
Natiunel, was tried last Friday and
Saturday.
The evidence developed the facts
that on April l6, 1908, Kilgore was
working on the east side of the COM
pauy's switch yard, and behind three
empty coal cars; that about coo feet
further west, aud on the main line
gravity switch, the train crew let three
heavily loaded coal cars start down
without an engine and with but one
brakeman; that these cars became un.
manageable and could he not checked,
and ran down with great momentum
and struck the three empties aud
violently showed them onto and over
kilgore, and cut off his left leg above
the knee.
Al the close of the plaintiffs evi.
dence, the Company's attorneys offered
the usual demurrer, and the court, in
handing down his opinion, stated that
from the evidence ii seemed that the
whole matter was an unforeseen acci.
dent for which the defendant company
could not be made to answer in dam
ages, and therefore peremptorily in
structed the jury to find verdict for
the defendant company.
We understand that Kilgoro's at
torneys have filed their motions for
new trial and in arrest, and will appeal
TO the Supreme Court.

Serious Accident.

Last Tuesday Harve 1homassun,
mnchine boss at the Crnwley shaft OF
the St, Joe Lead Company, started to
walk from one engine boiler to another
on plank, when the plank broke and
he fell to the floor between the two
boilers. He weighs pbout 800 pounds,
and though the distance was not great
the impact shattered the bones of one
leg from the knee down and injured
the other leg. 1t was thought at first
that amputation of the leg might be
necessary and DIR. Keith phoned to
DR. Moffatt of ST. Louis to come down.
After consultation it was decided not
to resort to amputation.

Wednesday evening the small peo-
pie OF the Seminary delighted their
friends with their rendering OF the
iairy story OF "Snow White" Miss
VirgiIia Conway was very justly proud
of the results of her artistic training #
the children, and she but added TO her
laurcls as an instructor Of children.
The scenic effects were very pretty.
The first scene represented the forest,
the decorative effect being given with
abundance of red roses The approach
of Princess Snow White to the festival
of the fairies in honor of her birthday
is announced by the entrance OF the
Herald dressed in white, crimson and
gold. There's much rejoicing until
the Queen comes. The second scene
is also a forest scene, when little Snow
White is abandoned in the woods to
meet her fate by the hunlsman. The
third scene shows the home of the
seven little dwarfs, who permit
Snow White TO be their housekcep-
or. The Queen makes several at
tempts to kill Snow White, but she is
always happily rescued and marries
the handsome Prince, who is out 10
the world seeking wife, and all ends
happily, as fairy stories always do
All the little folks covered themselves
and their teacher with glory. The
following look part in it,

THE BOAT BLOCKADE
Duluth and Superior Unable
to Handle the Boats Now
in the Harbor.

Perhaps one of the worst
blockades of boats that has ever
been known at the head of the
lakes is now on at Duluth and
Superior, and the coal compa-
MES are unable to handle them.
1t will be from two weeks to a
month before the boats which
succeeded in getting through the
500 at the opening of navigation
can be unloaded at the head OF
the lakes. 1t is estimated by
boat men that twelve per cent OF
the entire amount of coal that
was hauled last year is now afoat
at Duluth and Superior, having
come up on the first trip. At
the opening of navigation at the
500 there were over seventy
boats bound up while over half
of that number were waiting 10
get down the lakes.
