A SHOOTING AFFAIR
Woman Fires Shot Through the Door at
Mar Rapping.

Last Saturday night. about midnight
Finn who goes by the name OF j.
Jacobson was severely wounded in the
leg by revolver bullet fired by Mrs
Paul White.
All kinds OF stories are afioat and IL
is probable that the exact truth will
never be known. The woman story
is that the man WAS hammering at tn q
door and she feared that he would
break il in 20 she warned him away
and when he failed to 20 she fired the
shot expecting to scare him away
The Finn story is that he knocked
at.the door and the woman told him to
90 away or she would shoot He
knocked again and the shot was fired.
The bullet struck MIN In the leg
slightly below the knee and re bled
profusely from the wound but is get
ting around alright.
The affair happened in the second
story of the opera house block. Mrs.
White has been living there for some
time and unsavory stories got noised
about with the result that the Finn
was sttraced TO the place.
No action WAS taken In the matter
as the woman was apparently within
her rights in defending herself.

CITY PURCHASED TWO CARLOADS or
IRON PIPE FOR WORK
SEWER CASE is EXPENSIVE
Engineers We're Brought From A Distance
TO Tetiy-A Pound Master Was
Appointed.

While il may not be generally appre-
ciated by Crystal Falls people. yet il
is true that the city water mains are
being pushed out right along so that
after this year is over there will be
vrey few spots in town that cannot bee
handily reached by the mains.
The streets that are most in need Of
water at the present time are Marquet-
te and Forest avenues and those two
streets are now receiving the attention
OF the council
Two carloads OF pipe were purchased
at the meeting last Monday night and
the main will certainly be laid along
Marquette avenue. The residents OF
Forest avenue have petitioned for the
water and II is probable that their pc
tition will be needed il the city fathers
can see their way clear this year 10
give them the service that they ask
for. In addition the residents of Briar
Hill street in Maple Grove are % be
accommodated so that when the present
work laid out is completed there will
be no section Of the city not served ex
cepting a small portion of Michigan
avenue which ought TO have the atten-
tion OF the council as soon rs possible.

only daughter. Call at 9462 West

Mr.. Gotrox sat In his office impa-
| tlently awaiting the answers to his
ad. which he knew would come.
In few minutes, one after another,
a large number of lads filed in, some
Of them GREATNESS from running,
having read their morning papers a
little late. Mr.. Gotrox looked them
over quickly with his eagle eye and
dismissed all but two. "Now, boys"
he said, after he had talked with them
a bit, II like the looks of you both,
and will employ the one who does a
simple thing the best" Gle should
have said better, inasmuch as there
We're only two boys, but he was not

said. John" addressing the sad
eyed, dreamy youth. 'let me see you
open this parcel"
Then John winked at himself and
said in his heart: This is indeed q
snap. How glad am that 1 am upon
or on to this little scheme" And with
great care and patience he tugged and
picked at The hard knots. and after
long effort took the cord off In one
piece, wound 1t into a neat coil, care
fully folded up the coarse wrapping pa
per and stepped back, trying hard to
conceal the triumph In his eyes.
Mr.. Gotrox made no reply, except:
Now, Sam. 1T Is your turn"
Poor Sam! He had never had any
advantages to speak Of, as he had
been obliged to hustle good deal all
Of his life and had never read any
stories Of good boys who had become
great. He whipped out his Jackknife,
cut the cord in four places quicker
than wink and kicked the wrapping
paper into the corner.
You're the boy for me-" shouted
Mr.. Gotrox. "and you may go to work
at once. john" he said, you are q
good boy. but you should have lived
In 1847. You are not in 1t this year.

cents worth of time to save 1h cents

bodice portion of the smart garment
Is cut in one with these details. In
fact, 1t is we'll nigh impossible to es-
cape the kimono influence, and al
though it may be run in the ground
after awhile for the moment 1t is all
powerful.
Among the accessories for little girls
are delightful aprons, which, since thew
are skirt length, may be used on a hot
day in the house or country without
frock. These graceful and important
details may be of the plainest linens or
ginghams, but mothers who like the
neatness and coquetry of the apron
often turn out cunning little affairs Of

with quite fine frocks.

Of the apron cuts used by chefs. The
little quantity of goods needed for this
apron should recommend 1t to mothers

Then quite gay and childish look

are seen In plenty and surely nothing
could be sweeter for very young chill
dren, but when the child has passed
five touch of color is newer, and it is
apt to appear If only in the form Of rib
bon knots and sashes.
AS to design, ehe garments of the
girl of seven. perhaps, are pretty apt
to show some of the lines of her NAM
mas frocks, for kimono cuts are used
for bodices and there are many little
one-piece gowns almost Identical in
line with those for grown-ups. The diff
ference comes in an easy width of the
skirt, in decolletage Of the neck and
IN very short sleeves, all raiment dis.

last points.
Models for the TIMER children have
the babyish features suited to pudgy
infantile figures, and with the dress

rage to have the child look as much
like French doll as possible. The
long bodice and skirt-that is no more
than tiny flounce with edge some
times falling short of the child's knees

WEEKLY REVIEW OF TRADE
Spring Jobbing Business to Expand, Say
Dun and BradStreet

New York, March S.r-Bradstreets re-
view on the state OF trade tomorrow VIII
say:
Spring jobbing trade tends to exrand.
but does so gradually, with conservatism
still in evidence, and with small lot
buying for actual requirements very gen
orally governing. AS a whole, trade is
larger than in a like period Of the pre-
ceding month, but fails to show the
Improvement expected over the like
period a year ago.
eSpring jobbing trade in dry goods
is not yet under full lheadway, for which
conservatism. uncertainty as TO prices,
and the late date of the Easter seas3n
is probably responsible. The finer makes
of cotton goods and dress fabrics of silk
and wool show most activity. Low
grade cottons drag, yarns are weak,
and curtailment talk is active. Retail
trade for spring has not opened actively
as yet. Indeed, at most centers retailers
are still busted with the disposal OF car
ried-over stocks, for which price con-
cessions are in evidence. Collections
show little Improvement, and are still
slow to fair, with especially dragging
pay ments noted in sections. as in parts
of the Northwest, where crops were short
last year.
Commodity markets still show a re-
ceding tendency, ana in food products
lerge stocks and reciprocity agitation are
