EXTENT OF THE PERSONAL

Some idea of the extent to which
the personal injury litigation bust
ness has spread to may be cleaned
from the fact that at Duluth last
Monday fifteen suits were filed ask
ing an aggregate of $165,OO0 dam
ages against the Oliver and other
mining companies for injuries re-
ceived in mines Happily, Michigan
has taken an advanced step in this

litigation is done away with and

SUFFERS FROM IN
!. BRAIN STORM
"Professor G. w. Schevenius has
Been Seeing Things
Again."

This is the heading of an article
which was sent me from the "Vir-
ginia Daily"
The Editor Of this Virginia paper
gives me credit for being lone of the
most accomplished all-around single
handed peddlers of misinformation
of sensational nature to arouse
maudlin SENTIMENT
AS proof of this statement he
quoted at length from a Minneapolis
paper.
In the interest of truth and for
the cause which I represent, permit
me to make few explanations.
The address referred to was or
iginally given in the Norwegian
language. A reporter translated it
from his own notes suppose for an
English paper. Any one acquainted
with literary work, will readily un-
derstand how easily mistakes might
come in through such process.
And yet I am able to state that
the sum and substance of that which
the Virginia Editor labels ''misin-
formation is absolutely true, viz
1. Several mothers requested me
to do something in order to have the
saloons closed that were running all
night and Sunday in defiance of the
law and ordinance.
2. I presented the case to the
city administration.
3. But as nothing was done I
wrote to the attorney general.
4. Having received the answer
from the attorney general, the fol-
lowing young men whom I take the
liberty to- name, namely, Peder
Haugland, Albert Sleipness, Bastian
Knudsen, Martin Brekke, Elias Owe,
Rev. Lethonen, and myself, went
around to various saloons disguised
as lumberjacks in order to procure
evidence.
5. All of these saloon keepers
whom we visited were brought up
before the court and convicted
6. Those officials referred to
were seen by us in the saloons at
the stated time.
Z. It is also true that my life
was actually jeopardized in differ
ent ways and at different times.
These seven facts l am willing to
vouch for. They are not the product
of '..brain-storm" or visionary.
Yours for the truth,
Sincerely,
c. w. SCHEVEN1US.

Notice Of Hearing Of Petition to vacate
Certain Streets and Alleys in Block
Nine (9) North Side Addition to Viz

Notice is hereby given, That at eight (s)
O'Clock p. NJ. on the Sth day of October, 1912,
at the Council Chambers in the City Hail

Council will hear and consider a petition
of Chas. Rajala. ct al, which petitioners are
the majority of the owners and own q ma
jority of the property f1ontage in Block

is on file in the office of the City Clerk of
the City of Virginia and which petition
asks for the vacation of the following de-
scribed lands:
All that part of Second avenue save and

of to be used for an alley AUDITING on the
East and West in Block Nine 49, and ali
that part of Third street between Blocks
Four a. and Nine 80. North Side Addition
to the City of Virginia, Minnesota.
The reason and purpose for requesting
the vacation of the st<eets and alleys in
the North Side Addition to Virginia is for
the purpose of clearing the title to certain
lots in said Block Nine 49,, which title has
become c!ouded by reason OF an error in
the vacation proceedings which were taken
by the North Side Realty Company of Viz
Rinia, Minnesota, in 1909, and because the
rearranRement of Block Nine 80, which
was had at that time. 1909, placed several
lots and parts of lots in streets and alleys
and avenues which never were properly
vacated.

Noteworthy PRODUCTION
1.-THE Prince of Tonight Presented
by Tom Arnold and His Strong
Caste is Appreciated by Virginia
Theatre-GOers.

The production of 1.-THE Prince of
Tonight" at the Lyric on Saturday
evening by Tom Arnold surrounded
by his strong caste of principals,
with it's tuneful music, scenic mag
nificence and handsomely gowned
beauty chorus, drew heavily on the
local theatrical patronage, and Man.
ager Sigel has received the con-
gratulations of many on booking an
entertainment of such high char
acter.
Messrs. Adams, Hough and How
ard are Jointly responsible for this
popular musical fantasy, and merit
public approval in this offering even
more than in their former produc-
lions, which include 1.-The Golden
Girl" THE Goddess of Liberty"
''The Time, the Place and the Girl"
and many otfor noted musical COM
edies. THE Prince of Tonight"
suited the popular fancy so we'll that
it lasted an entire season in Chicago,
and created records for high receipts
in the metropolitan theatres. In it's
enactment Tom Arnold portrays the
role of college boy employed as a
life. saver and instructor in the art
of swimming at Palm Beach. He
promptly falls in love with a rich
| and proud summer girl who scents
his poverty and rejects his ardent
suit. But with the aid of an aged
and uncanny gardener, who invokes
magic at the moment of the bloom
ing of century plant, the lover be-
| comes mythical prince for the
night and woes and wins the maid at
the risk of his life.
The appreciation of Virginia the
atre-goers was we'll exemplified in a
|well-flled house, and should Man.
ager. Sigel continue productions of a
similar character throughout the sea-
| son we believe he would be we'll re-
warded.
