checks had been cashed and the
money obtained at the First National
bank in Bemidji.
Mr.. Shinn was cross-examine d
closely by Attorney General Simp-
son, as to his illness and how really
i'll he was, and during the examina-
ton, brought out from Mr.. Shinn
that he did not remember that he
had written his signature to the
different checks and receipts that
had been shown him; in fact, his
memory had been very poor because
of the nature of his illness.
Witnesses were introduced by
the defense to show that Mr.. Shinn
had been very i'll and was not re.
sponsible for his acts at that time.
At 3 o'clock this afternoon, the
defense rested in the Shinn case and
it was likely that the arguments
would be finished and the case given
to the jury before adjournment.

Shortly before noon Mrs. Palmer
was down town with her auto and
brought General Baker to his home
on Parsons street. Mrs. Palmer
and General Baker were both out of
the machine and as Mrs. Palmer

illness which kept him inside for
several weeks, appeared on the
streets yesterday for the first time
since he was compelled to take off
his apron and start a catch-as-catch-

Mr.. Graham's condition has been
anxiously watched by his hosts of
local friends, and when he appeared

speedily regain his wonted robust

.PARTRIDCES CAN Be SHOT
LAWFULLY, TOMORROW
Open Season Remains the Same as
Last Year, October ! to De-
cember |.

There has been considerable dis
cusslon of late as to what is the
law regulating the open season
for hunting cartridges. Some
have thought that the last legisla-
ture had changed the date for the
lawful hunting of cartridges to
seven days later, as was done with
chickens and ducks, making the
open season October 7th.
The season for the lawful hunt
ing of cartridges remains as it was
last year, and is as follows:
"That any quail, partridge,
ruff1ed grouse or pheasant, other
than Monaghan, Chinese, ring
neck or English pheasant, may be
killed or had in possession between
the first day of October and the
first day of December following. "

and A. G.. Rutledge.
w. R. Hodges, editor of Sleepy
Eye Herald and president of the
Minnesota Safe Editorial association,
says of Mr.. Atwood.
To be happy is the desire and
ambition of every person. How to
look on the bright side of life in
the midst of disappointments Incl
dent to human life is virtue not
possessed by all. The lecture of F.
S. Atwood on Happiness touches
the heart and mind of everyone
who hears him. It is full of good
cheer and coming from a man whose
physical eyes are forever shut to the
light of day, it cannot fail to be help
full to us on our journey through life.
L have known Mr.. Atwood since
September, 1904, as faithful
preacher of the gospel, as lecturer,
as a. citizen and friend. He is a
man of high intellectual attachments;
a speaker and orator of power, and a
gentleman of high character. His
lecture on Happiness should be
heard in every town and hamlet in
the state"

development of our farming country
In general, l desire to call your at

that district should be we'll rep
resented in the Convention, and I
wish you would talk it over with
other public spirited citizens in your
County and see how many are
likely to be willing to serve as
delegates.
I call your attention to the en-
closed circulars. as we'll as the
statement on the back of this sheet,
for an explanation of the purposes
of this convention.
:. ''1n my work, as member of Con-
-gress, I have been called upon
to aid in establishing daily rural
mail service in the different coun-
ties, and the principal obstacle
that l have met with, is the fact
that too many sections are so
sparsely settled that they cannot
supply one hundred patrons to
each twenty-five miles, and 1 am
especially anxious to induce suf6-
Gent immigration to make rural
mail service possible throughout
each county in the district.
81 am firmly convinced that few
places can offer greater opportun-
ity to home seekers than north:
western Minnesota, and that we
ought to take a prominent part in
this convention, which I believe
will have great influence in turn.

If you will kindly take hold of
this in your County 1 shall appreciate
it verv much, and if you think it
advisable for me to send letters to
individuals, I will do so upon being
advised. 1t might be advisable to
call meeting of citizens to consider
this subject at an early date. If you
have any one who especially desires
to be on the program, or who will
contribute an article for publication,
I should like to be advised in order
that proper arrangements may be
made"

trami county people may be able to
attend the congress aud tell the

capable of in the wayof raising agri-
cultural products, and how we can
care for many more homeseekers.

TAKE WARNING.
The Day, the Hour, Has Arrived for
Action, Decisive Action.

lBy TAD Aiidru.)
We have said It before.
We emphasize 1t now.
CHICKASIIA HAS REACHED A
CRITICAL PERIOD IN IT'S HISTORY.
The fact is, we have arrived at a
point where something more than
street and civic improvements are Of
vital Importance to all property hold
ers and business men.
We must promote and foster those
things which bring recruits to the tin
bucket brigade.
Nothing will insure the location Of
factories and other industries more
than steam and electric railroads and
a street car line.
Each interurban and steam railroad
line will add Importance to ChIckasha
as an Industrial center.
A street railroad would be a great
incentive to the establishing of indus
tries, in that through ability to get out
to cheap grounds and cheap rents, la
boring people can be induced TO locate
and be content with their surround
ings.
The interurban and steam roads, sup
plemented by the street railroad. bring
about all that gives air and tone to a
finished city.
They encourage the building and per-
petuation Of parks, as well as other re-
sorts that all cities must have to make
happy and contented community,
Without amusements and rest re-
sorts, as well as transportation con-
veniences chickasha cannot hope to
become an industrial community.
The interurban and street railroad
we must have.
And don't yoa forget this for mo-
mort

Your property interests will decrease
in value instead Of increase In a way to
surprise the natives.

ing reached that point on their way

NO EASY DIVORCES.

The spod name Of Oklahoma was
furshered and the reputation Of its sn-
preme court given a high standing in
the minds Of all good citizens through
she decision banded down By that tri-
hnnal on the divorce question. says the
Muskogee Phoenix. Justice Dunn lays
down the Law that Oklahoma will not
tolerate an easy divorce systems. and
that divorces must only be granted for
sgraye and substantial causes" In
rendering his opinion in the case re-
ferred to, Justice Dunn said:
TO entitle party to the remedy
Of enforcement on the ground Of ex-
freme cruelty, II II not enough that
she grounds be the result Of incompat
ability Of tastes or temperament Of
estrangement produceI By difference Of
opinion and conduct. growing out Of
the administration Of household affairs,
as these must be endured along with
the other minor mIsfOrtunes Of married
life; they are the things which under
the law parties who marry take into
consideration on entering matrimony,
and divorce Will not be granted on
their account The remedy Of absolute
divorce is an extraordinary remedy for
evils which are unavoidable and IN
endurable and which cannot be re-
lIeved BY any proper and reasonable
exertion Of the party seeking the aid
Of the courts.
Husband and wife are bound to ex-
ercIse greater efforts for removing mis-
apprehenaions, allaying quarrels,
smoothing the road to control and ef-
fecting reconciliation than are people
in other relations Of life. The mar
riage status is not a mere contract
status, In which each OF the parties
may be justified In demanding the
strict letter Of the bond. 1t is a status
wherein the law operates upon the
weakness as well as the strength OF
human nature. and It will not be dis
solved except for grave and substan.
tial causes"

Postal card Dangers.

A postal card IS great convenience,
but it may be used in way that will
make considerable trouble, says the
Utica Press. Section 1898 Of the fed
eral statutes makes 1t misdemeanor
% place in the mails postal card on
which is written a statement OF ac-
count or a demand for money OF any
description. A Rochester photographer
was arrested on a charge of sending to
woman customer on a postal card
a bin for two dollars for photographs.
He wrote on the card that the bill
was year old and suggested that 1t
be paid in weekly installments of five
cents. On being arraigned he pleaded
not guilty and put up $3.50 bail.
