CONTINUE MURDER CASE

owing to the fact that the attorneys
on both sides are exhausing their
challenges on the jury in the case of
Mia Chalichm charges with the murder
Of Peter Mullen of Gary it is not be-
lieved that the case will go to trial un-
til next Monday.
Tomorrow being Thanksgiving day
and Friday being devoted to default
divorce cases there is little likelihood
that the jury will be impaneled before
Monday.
1t is said that there are ten default
divorce cases set for Friday. This is
the largest number that have ever
been set for any one day and indicates
hte pressure OF business IN the local
court.

Governor Eberhart made a spec

Governor Eberhart made speech
before the Social Service club al
Omaha last week and therein asserted
that the course of study in the public
schools of the country is, in a large
measure, responsible for the delin'
quency among the pupils. Upon the
following day Superintendent David.
son of the Omaha public schools, one
of the best authorities on educational
matters in the west, took up the cudge]
and refuted every word that the
governor had spoken on this subject,
saying that he knew not whereof he
talked. It is to be regretted that the
governor of the great state of Mime
sofa should 60 about the country
addressing gatherings upon subjects
of which he appears to be utterly

q STATE WIDE MOTEMENT.

The movement for better highways
is not confined to any particular
bunch of counties-it is statewide.
The people Of the rich and older
settled counties of southern Minnesota
are just as deeply interested as those
of the more sparsely y-settled counties
of the northern part of the state. A
rousing good roads meeting was held
at Albert Lea last week and was
addressed by Mr.. George W. Cooley,
chief engineer of the highway commits
sion, and others. Among the reso-
Iutions adopted were the following, of
which the U q o heartily approves:
"That we strongly recommend that
the expenditure of all state funds be
made under the direct supervision of
the Highway Commission and duly
appointed assistants under their con-
troll, and that all such supervision
and all necessary engineering in the
matter of state roads and bridges be
done at the expense of the state.
"We recommend that the legislature
pass an act to put into effect the one
quarter mill tax levy for public roads
as provided for in the constitution,
and that a new amendment be SUBJ
mitted to the people providing for a
tax of one mill for such purpose.
"That the legislature be requested
to enact laws that will do away with
the ancient method of working out
road taxes and that law be passed
encouraging the use of wide tires.
"Realizing that the future of the
road system of this state depends
upon more solid and permanent
construction than has heretofore
obtained we recommend, that the
legislature provide for the establish
ment of stone crushing plants through
out the state, that stone be furnished
and delivered free to the counties, and
that the State Highway Commission
be empowered to purchase road ma
chinery for the use of several counties
under such conditions as may be just
and equitable.
''That a suitable appropriation be
made for the Highway Commission so
that they may be enabled to carry out
the requirements of the previous
recommendations

Bemidji was threatened by forest
fires last Sunday and, according to

AS result of the systematic adver-
tising which Canada is doing, and
has been doing for number of years
past, that country is attracting a
large number of farmers from the
western states, says Daniel j. Keefe,
commissioner general of immigration.
No reason whatever is apparent why
farmers should flock to Canada when
they can secure land which is much
more fertile in this country. Take
northern Minnesota, for instance.
There is no more productive soil on
the face of the earth. But Canada
knows how to advertise and is conse-
quently getting the settlers:

On His Head Fell the Penalty

The truth of the following story is
not vouched for by this paper, but we
will let "Durandal," who is said to
be resident of Anoka, tell it in his
own way:
Permit me to take you away from
the region of Lobster square to a
quiet suburb for a final bit of gossip.
The time is balmy April evening.
The place is not far from pretty
little church. A;man in clerical dress
is trying to kiss pretty rustic girl
as they sit on a bench under a tree.
Hidden in the branches is an old man
with stone ready to drop on the
clergyman's head. The pastor of the
church and member of the choir are
on the way home from service. "He
who is on high can judge of the purity
of the kiss [ would give you," says
he.
The senior deacon up the tree says
to himself: "I guess So.
The daughter of the deacon is shy OF
the kiss. cit doesn't seem right; for
you've got a wife; and what would she
say?"
The pastor argues: "Between you
in the choir and me in the pulpit is a
spiritual tie which mundane minds
might cavil at, but up aloft sits one
in Judgment from that exalted plane. d
"Right you are," says the deacon.
"You are quite sure it won't be
wicked?" the girl murmurs.
"On my head fall the penalty if am
wrong. Not on you but on me the
wrath of the Father will descend"
"You just bet it WILL" and the
deacon drops the stone on the head o1
the man below.
And in guessing how and why the
pastor had been struck down, the
suburb got into a surge and freshet o1
gossip. -Durandal.

The largest battleship in the Ameri-
can navy-the Florida-has been
launched It is 521 feet 6 inches in
ength-nearly as long as a city block
and has a displacement of 21,825
tons. Probably there is not a battle
ship afoat that could tackle the Flori.
da and get the best of her: for she is
considered even more powerful and
better equipped than the British
Dreadnaughts. There are people who
denounce the government for building
such ships, saying we have no use for
them. These people are non-pro.
gressives and cannot see beyond the
ends of their noses. Because we dc
not need a powerful navy today is nc
reason why we shall not tomorrow.

In view of the undoubted nomina-

suggest to the Princeton Union, as a
piece of friendly advice, that it cease
"knocking" the governor. and line up
for republican success.-Dasse]
Anchor.
The U ON does its knocking be.
fore and not after the convention, and
it has reason to knock. Mr.. Eberhart
may and undoubtedly does look good
to Billy Hamm, Oar Reese and Ed.

should regard him as one of the
Lords anointed. The indications
are that he will be nominated, but
there is nothing certain except death
and taxes.

The Duluth Herald says: "Open-

great expense for those who brave the

From a seemingly authentic source
comes the story that the new king of
England and the German emperor
love one another. Assuming this to
be true, the predicted declaration OF
war by Germany against England may
never materialize. Instead, William,
who is shrewd diplomat, may cajole
George into forming strong alliance
with the aim of some day swooping
down upon France-his oid-time
enemy. At any rate we are glad to
learn that they love one another.
