i On last Friday night this little city
had surprise in the way of lawless
ness, such as is seldom seen in this
section Of the country. The story runs
| on this wise:
About 5 o'clock, little Italian girl
came into the Peoples Drug Store, and
while there, hurley young negro
Gates Payne, came in. In the mean
time the little girl. some twelve OF
fourteen years old. made her pur
chases and left for home The near

WHAT KILLED YOUNG

The Todd County Argus, in
it's last issue, sits on the political
corpse of Ed Young in manner
quite apropos. Here's what it
says:
''The defeat of Attorney Gen
eral Young for governor will
probably always be laid to the
brewers, but they did not do it
all. If Young had always shown
himself as friend of the people
when he wasn't looking for
something and been in line with
the present reform wave before
it swept the entire country his
services would have been in de-
mand by the people and they
would have backed him as they
have backed President Roose-
welt. The opposition of the
brewers in that case would have
only solidified the people for
him. His record as senator
was not favorable to the people
and his apparently desperate
efforts in tn cir behalf since he
became attorney general were
looked upon as simply an effort
to get on the band wagon and it
did not count for much. People
have a way of sizing up a man
and Young fell below the meas
urement."

An Oreuon Crop,

Crops never fail in Oregon, says the
Corvallis Times. The skunk crop this
season is one of the best in a decade
Three steel traps set at Samuel Bane's
place, west of town, the other night,
captured three. The same traps in
the same spot the next night nailed
two skunks and rat. DR.. Lester,
however, beat that combination, when,
recently, with one trap, he captured
two skunks at a time. He and Mr..
Bane in the last few months have
trapped a total of fifty-ive or fifty-six.
Even a better record was made by
the man who preceded DR.. Lester at
the Miller poultry farm. He captured
ten straight at one stump.
Skunk skins are worth Is cents to
$1.25 each. They are used for making
rugs and other adornments and con-
veniences.

end of the lake, their destination
Only moderate breeze was blowing
but it was puffy. They progressed all
right until opposite Porter's farm,
when the boat suddenly turned turtle.
Small boys on the shore half mile
away say they saw the struggle then
all was quiet except that the small
boy was seen hanging to the boat will
his tiny hands grasping the keel and
he yelling as loud as his frail lungs
could, for assistance.
B. c. Douse, of Chicago, bOarder
at Porter's farm, put out in a launch
as fast as he could and took DR.. Mont
gOmery's son from his perilOus posi-
ton after the lad had been in the
water half an hour.
The boy lapsed into unconscious
ness when he was picked up and did
ward. When he was finally restored
to consciousness tonight and was sit
ting in his mothers lap the boy was
almost too paralyzed with the shock
to talk, but he managed to humble
out the following story:
Where is papa? He went in the
water with the stenographer, and
did not see him afterward. l do not
know how it happened. The boat
turned over and big stick struck
papa on the side of the face, and
then he hollered a little, and after
that l didn't see him. | guess they

He turned at the door and his lips
parted as if he lad decided to say the
words that were struggling for utter

he had gone Pocahontas sank down on
the stairway. She put her hands over
her face and her form shook as if with
deep emotion. A moment later she
heard him coming back up the steps,
and when. he knocked gently at the
door she flew, with gladness in her
heart, to open it.

hall, that I've got the wrong umbrel-

Then she slammed the door after
him and went to bed, convinced that
he was not worthy of her love.

George w. Peterson, assistant
attorney general of Minnesota,
has handed down an opinion to
the effect that it is unlawful for
railway companies to sell liquor
in their dining or buffet cars in
the state. If this opinion is
sustained by the courts the rail
roads are liable to prosecution
in every county in the : state
through which their dining cars
run. Thirsty people will then have
to be accompanied by private
bottle or case whenever they
cross the state, unless they can
wait until they get where the
company is not liable to prose

Walks Five Miles to School,!

While the ordinary boy is spending
his out-of-school hours playing, Will
lam Harris, a nine-year-old lad who
lives on Whisky road, half a mile out
Of Merchantsville, Pa, spends three
hours every day walking to and from
school The Harris family are Cath
olics, and as there is no parochial
school in Merchantville the boy
trudges to Camden. 1t is five miles
each way, and the boy walks the ten
miles in three hours.
There is not enough money allowed
William to pay his car fare and keep
some for himself, so he would rather
walk and save so cents a week. The
lad has made many friends along the
route OF his daily journey, who urge
him along with CHEEKY greetings.

Franklin Tribune.
Every newspaper in the state
should be supplied at least once
a week with copies of each bill
introduced in the senate and
house, and the journal of those
bodies. The only source of in
formation in the past has been
the reports in the daily papers,
and it is well known they are
not complete, and are colored
when desirable by the cultivation
of reporters by those interested,
and other means at times. Ii
the country press was supplied
with all the record information
of the doings of the legislature
there would be true publicity,
and enough editors would scrut-
inize the proceedings to let day
light in on many bad bills. The
members do not care for such
publicity, as they do not wish
the editors to butt in when they
are deliberating for the welfare
(?) of the state. The only induce
ment that might influence the
legislature to adopt such a plan
is that it would make an opening
for more clerks. If the country
editors will put this plan up to
their representatives at the right
time there may be enough to
provide for such a news service
