st. Paul, August 4.-That news
papers have the right to decline OBJ
jectionable advertising matter sub
mitted to them under advertising
contracts is the effect of a decision
handed down in district court by
Judge Quinn of Fairmont, Mimi,
who sat in Ramsey county district
court last spring
j. G.. La Bossiere, proprietor of
FOCAL department store, rendered UNI
der yearly advertising contract,
advertising matter to The st. Paul
Dispatch and Pioneer Press which
was deemed Objectionable and which
was refused on te ground that it
contained references to trading
stamps.
Suit was brought by The Dispatch
Printing company to recover moneys
due under the advertising contract.
j. c. La Bossiere claimed that the
yearly contract was void and that
! The Dispatch and Pioneer Press had
broken it by rejecting the advertis-
ing copy referring to trading stamps.
The court held the contract valid
and that the reservation to the pub.
Usher of the right to reject objection
able advertising did not render the
contract void for uncertainty or lack
of mutually.
The court held that the publisher
had the right to reject the advertise
ment in question upon the ground
that its contract provided that it
could reject Objectionable advertis-
ing, and also upon the further
ground that there existed a well
known custom in ST. Paul that daily
newspapers would not accept trading
stamp advertising and that Mr. La
Bossiere had full knowledge of this
custom when he entered into the
contract.

'TOH MoUudy LAZY.
Mrs. B. Gilbert, aged seventy
: six, was burned to death at the
home of her daughter, Mrs. An
ma Nelson. in Wells, early Sun
day morning. 1t is suspected
that the old lady lighted a
match in order to light her way
about the bedroom, and the mat
's.tress was set afire accidentally.
The flames were quickly COM
municated to her night dress
and in her excited condition she
was unable to subdue them. In
stead she made a dash for the
rear of the house, presumably to
reach the open air, but being
overcome dropped to the floor in
the kitchen where she was dis
covered later by the firemen.
Mrs. Nelson was carried from
the house by the firemen. She
was not awakened until after
her rescue was effected. The
fire was discovered about 2:30
o'clock in the morning. The
damage done to the house was
slight as the fire was discovered
in it's earliest stage and quickly
squelched. The discoverer of the
fire has not made his identity
! known.
Mrs. Gilbert was badly burned,
the lower part of her body and
& limbs tn crisp. Her husband
died twelve years ago in Battle
Creek, Mich. She was a native
of Norway and came to America
in 1853. In 1854 she became a
resident of Wells. Five children
survive her. Joe, Madison, S.
D.; Aaron, Tampa, Florida; Sam,
Milford, Iowa; Mrs. Anna Mel
son. Wells; Mrs. Ida Terry, Gar
den City.
The funeral of Mrs. Gilbert
will be held. tomorrow.
Coroner Holm after making an
investigation decided that an in
quest was not, necessary.

How it happened that James Han
sen and his family of Garden City
were not all killed or seriously in
jured when locomotive hit their
surrey amidship in the Northwestern
yards yesterday forenoon and car
ried it for thirty feet, must still re-
main mystery The fact remains
however, that not one of them was
hurt, except for a few minor bruises.
Mr.. Hansen, his wife and four small
children were crossing the Northwest
ern yards at Elm street yesterday,
about 1920 a. M, and on account
OF a long string of cars did not know
that the engine was coming.
Gateman Fred Waters saw the en-
CINE stop at Washington street, two
blocks away, to drop off a caboose,
and did not know which way it
would go when it was started again.
Just at this time, Mr.. Hansen drove
under the gates, which were still up,
and after he was past them. the en-
CINE started toward Elm street. Mr..
Waters saw it coming, and at once
began to clang his bell and yell at the
passing rig to get a move on. Mr.
Hansen ''whaled" his nag with a
willow switch, but the old horse was
blind, and could not see the coming
engine, and furthermore, didn't seem
to care whether its owner ever got
across the tracks or not

The control of the ornaments OF
the giant craft is marvellous. To such
pitch of perfection has gunaery been
brought that these huge guns, which
drive a she'll weighing 1900 pounds TO
distance of seven miles, are practi
cally foolproof.
Except for handles AID levers, which
a child could operate. none of their
vital parts has to be touched. The
shell down in the bunkers in the maya
zine is lifted by a little hoist, which
carries 1t along to lift, which, again,
deposits il in the Easement in CON-
partnlent, from which ii rolls into a
kind Of slot, and from the slot, is
pushed up by machinery into the
breech. Rammed home the breech is
clesed and the gun is fired. At a
trial of the ship, the operation took,
from the moment the men were told
to stand ready" unit! the trigger was
pulled, Is seconds. So there is every
reason why ii is expected that three
rounds minute could be fired from
these monsters. The Gin. guns, with
their lesser charge and their lower
penetrating power carry grim evidence
of their death dealing qualities. The
super-dreadnought of today has her
battery of guns so arranged that she
can rain practically the whole of them
on any given object at the same
time The only exception are the
two Gin. guns aft, which, in considera-
ton Of their nature, are circumscrib-
ed. in their arc, and could only be
used to fight rear-guard action, or
to drop a parting shot on to some
opponent as the warship was swung
around for another broadside
An Electric Network.
There are telephones everywhere.
The modern warship has become a
kind Of electrical laboratory. Every
thing is done by electricity, from the
cooking of food to the blowing of the
FIRE in the blacksmith's shop, the
firing of the great guns to the light
ing of the captains stove in his sit
ting-room. the working of the lifts to
the hosting out of the boats. There
is apparently nothing that an. .electri-
clan cannot do. with this strange
power When once the order is given
to clear decks" therefore, every
part of the ship instantly becomes
in closest contact with every other
part of this, network of electrical
lines, and no chances are taken. If
