YOUNG GIRL ARRESTED
Charge Is She PiIfered a Rural
Mail Box Recently.

From Fridays Daily.
Deputy United States Marshal Char
les Kittelson came to New Richland
Tuesday and took into custody
young girl who lives several miles
southwest of town on charge Of
taking mail from the rural mail
box of neighbor and the girl, ac-
companied by her mother, was taken
to ST. Paul Wednesday morning for
a hearing in the federal court.
The neighbor who claimed his mail
was pilfered made a complaint last
October and although an inspector
investigated the case, action in the
matter has been delayed until the
present time.
To almost every case OF this kind
there are two sides and one version
of this matter is that the trouble is
the elimination of a disagreement of
long standing between two neigh
bors. Tie girl stoutly denies the ac-
cusation against her. Whether or
not specific charge has been lodged
against the girl the Star is not in
| formed, but since the planning
witnesses have since removed from
| this vicinity, it is thought by those
familiar with the case that the mat
ter will not be pressed and that
the girl will be discharged.

that by nine o'clock the streets

Special police were on the lookout,
and the regular force kept an eye

DIR. G. A. Dahl, the city health Of

amount of grip colds and pneumonia
in the city at present, keeping the

when there have been such dusty
seasons as the past fall has been.
He lays the present prevalence
of throat and lung trouble to the

DIR. Dahl does not agree with DR..
Hall. the Minneapolis health officer,
who recommends that people wear
gauzc underwear the year around,
instead of putting on warm wooleus
in winter. DR.. Dahl says that this
advice may be good for those who
spend their time in Ovcrheated fats
and office buildings, but will not
do for those who have to be out much,
or where the buildings are not well
heated. People laying off winter uu-
derwcar now to adopt gauzC would

of the approach Of cold weather, and
so the fishermen, who have been
gathering pearls for months, are
hurrying to New York for the holi-
day trade.
THE value of the pearls found in
the Mississippi and its tributaries
since the fishing began last spring
is estimated at S5O0,o00 or more.
Maiden Lane dealers assert that
the American pearls are sold as
orientals in Paris and London and
that returning tourists are regularly
paying duties on Mississippi river
pearls which they buy abroad.
"The highest price paid this sea-

Charles II. Warner Of Aitkin Has q
Proposition: His Plan. :. -.


Proposition; His Plan. :, & a..
Charles II. Warner Of Aitkin, mem.
ber-elect of the legislature, is out
with a proposition to increase the
railroad gross earnings tax from to
per cent, and apply the extra 1, per
cent to the, good roads fund. Mr..
Warner goes farther and suggests
a special election in 1911 to vote on
this proposition and on the l mill
state tax for good roads, which re-
quire constitutional amendment.
Both changes would have to be rati-
fed by popular vote. He would also
submit the proposed law for taxa
ticn Of state lands to the people at
this special election.
Mr.. Warner quotes the state tax
commission as saying that the rail
roads of Minnesota are not paying
enough taxes at this time. 'An in
crease in the gross earnings tax to
5 per cent" he says, will bring
about one million dollars annually,
additional revenue to the state treas
ury. 1t would be my idea TO have
this become a part of the state road
and bridge fund. Then with state
supervision and the l mill tax as
proposed by Robert C. Dunn, which
| heartily favor, something substan-
tial could and would be accomplish
ed in the way of securing more and
better public highways"

for them to see far ahead in the

farmer until just in front of him.
The farmer could have seen the
light long distance, but did not

to avoid the collision that the auto
