Cupid was showing us through his

rows of great Jars that contained the
germs that thrive IN kisses.
"Show us the most harmless germ. {"
we implored.
Cupid removed the cover from a

These are the most harmless. They
are found In the kisses OF schoolgirls

A WAY to the Park.

At the meeting of the council
Tuesday evening there was petit
ton presented asking that road be
opened up between the Houghton
road aud Houg hton Park, SO that
people wishing to GO to the Park to
spend a day can do so without walk
ing the ties. In nearly every city
of any Importance in the country
they have a park of some kind to
which the people can 70 to enjoy a
quiet day. There ~ many of these
cities tuat wou much TO pos
ess a natural park such as the one
up at Houghton point, so close to
the city. In point of beauty 1t can
not be excelled. Now that we have
the park there should be some way
TO get to it and no time should be
lost in constructing suitable roed.
The distance is short and very little
clearing would have to be done. 1t
is said that the parties owning the
land are willing that the road should
be constructed and an easement of
right of way can probably be secured.
In such case the city should see to
1T that the road is built at once.

The School Exhibit.

The school exhibit held at the
High school bull ding last Friday
evening was largely attended
and was an interesting affair.
Not only were articles from the
manual training department and
the sewing departments on ex-
hibit. but great many of the
drawings, maps and baskets
which had been made in the
lower grades were placed on
exhibition. The program was
also very interesting @nd con-
sisted of recitations in music
and mental arithmetic, which
was followed, by splendid talk
by President McCaskell of
Superior Normal, and by Presi-
dent John Walsh of the school
Commission of this city.

Jurors Scored

At the trial of Judge Griff Thomas
and Thomas Strong. Of Hurley, last
week charged with renting property
for immoral purposes, Judge Parish
scored the jurors severely for bring
ing in a verdict of not guilty. The
evidence was overwhelming and the
men it is claimed should have been
convicted. 1t is refreshing to note
that Judge Parish looks with dis
favor upon such proceedings and the
public will uphold him in his effort
to stop such violation of the law,
and the jurymen deserve to be scor-
ed in the severest terms for their
part in the affair.

Bows Tampering with Rural Mail
Boxes on Route No.
Some of Them are Liable to
Land in Reform School
if They Continue

Rural Mail Carrier Carl Hirsch
has been having a great deal OF
trouble during the past month
with boys who have been tamper-
ing with the mail boxes along the
route and the matter has been
reported at Washington. The
department. viii probably send
an inspector here for the purpose
of hunting out the guilty parties
and prosecuting them. The mail
boxes and their contents are pro
tected by law from malicious
damage and depreciation, and
persons violating this law are
liable to prosecution. People
along the route who have child
rem should see that they are not
tampering with the boxes, for
trouble will surely come if the
practice is continued.

They Will Be Around

The committee of the Beavers eX-
pect this week to go around with a
subscription list for the purpose of
raising funds with which to enter
tain the National convention of the
Beavers which will meet in this city
for three days beginning on the 18th
day Of June. There is expected to
be present at the convention about
400 delegates. and good many dele
gates will bring their wl5es, so that
the number will perhaps run up to
about five hundred. The entertain
ing of the convention is big task
but Washburn will prove equal TO
the occasion and entertain the visit
ors in royal manner When the
committee gets around to you donate
all you car to help the matter along.
The meeting of the convention in
this city is a big thing for the local
lodge and also for the city in gener-
al. The advertising that Washburn
will get as a result of it will do un-
told good. So held in every way
that you can.

Held for Murder.

VIM. Schriber of Virginia,
Mimi. who several days ago
was in this city negotiating for
the purchase of some land in the
town of Barksdale, was last
weekindicted for the murder of
his neighbor Frank Masseport
homesteader. Schriber had in
his possession several certifi-
Gates of deposit. which he at
tempted to cash at the Bayfield,
County Bank, passing himself
off as the murdered man. The
certificates were taken for col
lection and when they we're pre-
sented at the bank of deposit at
Virginia, the matter was report
ed to the police. VIM. Landraint
of Barksdale and D. M. Maxcy
of this city were at the hearing
in the Minnesota city for the
purpose of Identifying the man.
The trial was called at Duluth
yesterday and it is possible that
Schriber will be convicted of
murder.

New Railroad.

Articles of incorporation were filed
in the office of Secretary of State
Monday afternoon giving legal
authority to the Twin Cities and
lake Superior Railway Company to
construct a line from the Twin Cities
to the head of the lakes. The work
of construction will be begun at
once. There is considerable specu-
lation about the northern end of this
line, and great many believe that
this is a connecting link between
Grantsburg and Iron River in this
county. If you will refer to your
map it will show great stretch of
country perhaps seventy miles long
between Iron River on the north
connected by road with Superior and
this city. and Grantsburg on the
south connected by road with the
Twin Cities. Considerable color is
given to this theory from the fact
that Ed. L. Peet of tsburg, a
man who has for years advocated
the building of this line is one of the
incorporators. The other incorpor-
ators are G., B. Haugen of Duluth,
F. R. Duxbury of st. Paul. E. Lewis,
Storm Lake, Minn and Edward
Henry of Minneapolis.

A petition signed by large
mum Der of freeholders was pre-
sented asking that street be
opened up between Houghton
road and Houghton Park, those
signing believing that it would
be benefit to a great many to
have road opened up to this
beautiful park. The petition
was referred to the committee
on roads and bridges and the
matter will be taken up with M.
A. Sprague to see if an easement
for the road can be secured
through his land. In such case
the road will be opened up at
once.
The monthly report of the
Lighting commission was read
and was ordered placed on file.
The resolution providing that
sewer be built on Pine street
from Washington avenue to 9Th
avenue westwhich was presented
at a former meeting, was taken
up and adopted.
The resolution of Olaf M. Oh.
son to have committee appoint
ed to investigate the purchase of

and passed. The Mayor appoint
