Charged With Stealing Fur Piece and Linens.

Miss Mary Green, colored. was ac- cused this morning fin the police court of stealing a fur piece valued at SIS from Dina Cotter of Buckingham street and she was also charged with stealing a quantity of towels and sheets from Langs sanitarium.

 "As to stealing any sheets and towels" she went on, you can go to my trunk and search 1t if you want 10. I worked for Mrs Lang and when left there last Wednesday she only gave me $3.50. although she owed me S5. But I took nothing which did not belong to me.
 Sentence was suspended on the charge of stealing the towels and sheets. but she was fined S10 and costs for theft of the fur.
 One of Mary's gentleman friends was right on deck after court and paid Mary's fine. They walked from the court room arm in arm.

It was in one of the lower grades, and perhaps it was the first fire driII that the children had had. The teacher told the youthful scholars they were to have a fire drill. When the bell sounded instead of going out the door without waiting for hats or coats. the first boy made a bolt for the dressing room. All the others followed him The teacher hastened to the dressing room and informed the children they did not need their hats and coats. But she might just as we'll have been talking to the winds The youngsters said of course they wanted their outer garments and refused to moxe until they got them Just as quickly as they grabbed them they rusked out and half of them did not come back.

state There is now start made
that will send the district ahead con-
tinually; that will make great big
busting camp in this rich basin. A
number of our good properties have
been secured by outside investors but
Ramsey is. still the best place of
ground floor investment in this state
or anv other. The chief scene of
operation right now is in the center
of the mineral belt. This is because
the older and more developed proper
ties are nearer to the center of it
but many rich properties, in fact as
good or better than those close to the
original finds, are being developed in
every corner of the district, and the
new capital coming in will surely ac-
ouire and operate these properties.
Merit must count in the end. 1t has
counted right here and has made this
district such that only praises may
be heard from each and every visitor,
whether it be here or on the outside.
In her two years of existence Ram
sey has made fair name and in the
next few years she will attract fav-
orable notice from the entire country.

The entrance OF a big bunch of

weeks has certainly started it on the
upward trend with a sudden and dis

its pschychological moment for a
boom, but it rather looks that the real
cause for an unusual interest in a

THE PRESIDENTS WAYS

Last year President Roosevelt
asked Congress to authorize 1.-The
inland waterways commission"
Congress declined to do it, so
when Congress adjourned the
President created one himself. He
wanted Congress at this session to
give its sanction to it. but so far
Congress has declined When the
governors convention met in the
White House early in the present
month, in his opening speech to that
body the President referred to the
matter and injected into his speech
the declaration that he would have
that commission whether it was ap-
proved by congress or not. The words
are not included in the speech as
sent to the country, but he used them
with all his force in the speech and
some who listened declare he was
nearly as in tears when he spoke as
he ever gets to be. Ii is an unpre-
cedented in our country. and makes
thoughtful men hope that he3 will
not be a candidate to succeed himself.
and glad that he has but ten months
more to serve Caesar would not
have made such a speech in the forum
