trustees Of st. Veronica's church have
decided on the construction Of a new
editice this summer and plans and
specifications r being prepared by
Architect Herwick and call for bids
has been made.
The ladies of the congregation
have taken the work of raising SUI

excellent success in securing liberal
help from the members. The sum
already subscribed is sufficient to in
sure the construction Of a new church
and begin the work at once.
The rapid growth Of the parish has
made the present edifce inadequate
to comfortably accommodate the
congregation, hence the movement to
construct a new one which will be
roomy, and Its design follow popular
architectural styles for such struc-
lures.

Wahpeton, N. D., July 11.-Con-
trary to the usual idea that drainage
Is beneficial only to the agricultural
lands. the supreme court holds the
drains are helpful to the railroad
companies. Richland county officials
ordered in some local drains. In
making UP the special levies to pay
for them they included the railroad
right of way. The Northern Pacific
resisted the assessment. Judge Allen
of the district court held the assess
ment was just. The company appealed
to the supreme court which has af-
frmed Judge Aliens decision and
ruled in favor of the county.
The representatives Of many other
counties had watched the case with
a great deal Of interest. Some coun-
ties made the assessments exclusively
on agrlcultural lands, even though the

May Day without Real Grievances.


One consoling feature of the speeches
made at the labor demonstration at
Union Square yesterday was that all
the grievances complained of were at
long range. The characteristic general
izatiOns rega riding war were repeated
by the speakers, and as might he ex-
pected there was much ranting over
Colorado. Some of this latter talk
seems to have passed the danger limit.
and 1t Is encouraging to know that it
was recorded stenographically and may
be made the means of quenching some
Of the worst firebrands.
But, after all. the most marked fea.
ture Of the meeting was the absence Of
any complaint about local conditions,
There was no talk Of unemployment
which any one thought worth while no.
ticing. and no complaint Of bad pay or
bad hours. There was no strike talk,
no vexatious question OF unlonlsm even.
On the whole. 40 far as home interests
are concerned, the demonstration seems
to have been made up of men who had
nothing to complain OF on their own
account.
This, no doubt, was the reason why
they were willing TO give up their time
to Colorado and Mexico.
