BILL REFERRED BACK

FOR CORRECTION
At~the meeting of the city council
Tuesday evening bill from The Vir-
gilman in the sum of $3.50 was ~,
ferred back for correction.
This bill was for the publication of
the mayors proclamation anent the
closing OF the saloons in the city of
Virginia on special election day, May
28th.
Under the contract of the Enter
prise with the city of Virginia the
publication of this notice and of any
other legal notice requiring publica-
ton by the city during the year 1912
should be done in this paper, but
Mayor Murphy took charge of the
notice and instead of handing it to
the city clerk for publication in the
regular manner personally took it to
the Virginian.
We do not know why-and we care
less; not that $22.50 grows on every
bush, but had we been shaking the
bush in this instance, as shown by
past bills against the city for similar
service, We would have received $3.50
instead OF $3.50. In September
last, at the time of the original re-
call election in the Fourth Ward.
the Enterprise published the may
or's proclamation and the bill on file
with the city clerk will show that
$1.20 was the amount paid therefor;
and we charged the city the full
amount permitted under our con-
tract, at that.
OF course the Enterprise would
not intimate that Mayor Murphy's &C.
ton in taking the notice to the Vir-
ginian, which put in bill of $22.5O
instead of to the Enterprise, which
would have charged $1.20 for the
service, was an attempt to pay polit-
ical debt with public pap. Such an
intimation would be the height OF
improperly, and we refrain from
| touching the line of ,impropriety
wherever possible.
But We will submit that, coming
directly on top of the addresses made
at the Fay Opera, in which the press
of the city was cited by Mr.. Murphy
and Judge Montague as having vir.
tually held up the city the past year
on city printing, the action of the
mayor in taking the notice to the
Virginian in the face Of the amount
of the bill turned in for the service
as compared with the bill Of the En-.
terprise for similar service six
months before, might lead one to
think the mayor was not looking af-
ter city business and city economies
with the same acumen that must
characterize every successful business
man in the conduct of his own bust.

lSlI COM LEf
KENNEL Of BLOOD HOUNDS
Alderman McGhee Makes Rropess
Move Looking Toward Locating Of
Children. i :. d ss...: :. .s. -..

The number of children and others
OF more mature years who are lost
In the woods bordering the range
cities led Alderman McGhee to make
most proper move on Tuesday even
Ing, when he asked the council to
indict a memorial to the board of
county commissioners, asking that
St. Louis county keep for use in such:
cases a kennel of blood hounds.
There is not year passes but some
little tot-somebody's hope and Joy
is lost in the woods and scarce q
year but some chair is left forever
vacant because of the inability or 4
posse to find trace of the missing
one.
One such case this year comes
from Aurora, where child was lost
three weeks ago and no trace of the
little one has yet been found. Two
children at Kitzville were lost the
present week, being found after a
search of eight hours.
The approximate cost of keeping
such kennel, together with a man
to properly care and handle the dogs,
would be $4,000 per year, and we be-
lieve there are none who would not
coincide with the idea as most
worthy one.
The memorial will be before the
council for acceptance at the next
meeting, and We trust may meet with
favorable action by the county board
when presented to that body.

as the direct cause Of death.
Mr.. Wilson moved to Duluth after
the settlement of his claim on the
Silver property some five years ago,
together with his wife making his

IF the anti-Taft sentiment is as
strong in other sections as it appears
on the range, the reelection of the
president is an impossible task. Up
this way there are hundreds of voters
who never in their life cast a ballot
for a democrat who will be found in
the Wilson column this year, while
many of them will carry their change
Of heart to the end of the line, in
Guiding state and county officers in
the list.

said the empress, heaving deep sigh.

The empress tried to calm him
again. He smiled bitterly and hand
ed her a document bearing numerous
notes in red ink.
The empress made an effort to ap-
pear calm as she read the document
for she felt that the emperor was
watching her closely.
what wicked people! Savages!
said the empress as she looked up to
him.
"That is exactly what is troubling
me-" replied the emperor with sad.
forced smile. II should not like TO
leave to my son a heritage in such a
dreadful state!
DO not speak of this, do not speak
Of this!"
The empress advanced to him and
took his hand.

well. All will be WE'LL" she repeated.
"And you. would you want to re-
main a widow?" the czar suddenly
smiled strangely His eyes were cold
and moist.
The empress shuddered at these
words. She released his hand and
looked at him fixedly.

voice. al have wanted to speak to you

life we are leading Is impossible. You

there were tears In her eyes.
"For my sake and four yours. for
the sake of our dear children, do
something! Even If you have to-
even If you have to yield. Do it,"
.eWhat can do?" asked the car.
"Tell me. Do they know what they
want? Some of the people want one
thing. others want another. Don't you
know that yourself?"
"Will you deny that there Is sys-

and authority.

palace added to the misery of the
young empress. She noticed that the
car was angry at her because she
was "endeavoring to introduce in Rus
STA western reforms and that she con-
sidered herself more intelligent than
the entire household in the palace"
In the meantime storms of unrest
had broken out in the land, and or
ders were given to pacify the discon-
tented at all cost The empress did
not know of the horrors that were per
petrated in Russia, and when she
learned of them she consoled herself
in the thought that all the cruelties
directed against the Russian people
were not committed by order of the
car. She believed that the car, like
herself, was ignorant of what was go
ing on in the land.
But she soon found out her error
Then her suffering grew ever more in
tense. She looked with disgust upon
the clique surrounding her, upon their
hypocritical smiles and greetings, but
she was unable to change anything
even in the palace. 1t was then that
she became seriously ILL.,
When the empress had recovered
she divided her time between her chill
dren and her desk She turned once
more to the reading of books and also
devoted considerable time to writing.
Nevertheless the feeling that she was
alone and misunderstood in the palace
weighed heavily upon her. She grew
ever more and more melancholy.
One day, after having worked for
some time upon the tragedy she was
writing, the empress entered the
cars study. She found him seated at
his desk looking over numerous docu.
ments. He frightened up when she
entered and he kissed her hands.
Why are you so sad?" she asked.
Il am thinking OF the future OF our
children" he replied
The empress looked at him sur.
prised.
Il do not understand she began,
looking into his troubled eyes.
"A plot has just been unearthed.
he said cheerfully. yet with shade OF
confusion.
"Oh, / know about IT."
No. mean another plot-a new
one. They have just learned of it to-
day" And shaking his head he
added:
DO you understand now?"
And he described to her In detail
the conspiracy Of the terrorists
against his life. They became more
sad than before The shadow Of dan.
ger was still lowering over their
heads
| They endeavored to calm each 9th.

empress had tainted. She was taken

SENATOR GEORGE C. PERKINS TO RETIRE

The announcement a few days ago
by Senator George G. Perkins that
he will retire from public life brings
to its close a remarkable career
Born on a little farm near Kenne-
bunkport, Me-, Mr. Perkins ran away
from home when he was about IL
years old. He took to the sea, as
Maine boy naturally would, shipping
as cabin boy On ship at New Or
leans and sailed the seas. In 1855
he shipped before the mast on the
good ship Galatea. and sailing round
the Horn, eventually landed in San
Francisco. Here the gold fever
seized him and he abandoned the
sea for the mining camps. Fortune
frowned for many a year, and he was
glad to find work of any kind to earn
his bread. He was a teamster, a
miner, storekeeper in rough mining
camps. anything indeed that came to
hand At last he accumulated enough
money to own his own team and he
