MAKE MANY IMPROVEMENTS

Messrs. j. +. Melton and +. IL.
YOungs, Jr., compliments in the
case of Melton and Youngs versus c.
r. Hamilton, claiming mortgage
on the property of the Majestic the
alter, presented an application to
Judge Whitney of the Circuit court,
at Arcadia, yesterday, for the issu-
ance of writ of injunction to re-
strain the present owner, Mr. o. e.
Harris, from removing any of the
property belonging to the Majestic
theater from the place in which it
is now situated, and to prevent them
from making any alterations or
changes whatever in said property,
and also asking the appointment Of
a receiver for the property pending
the foreclosure proceeding.
Mr.. Harris convinced the Judge
that there was absolute necessity for
certain improvements contemplated
in the theater, and he was permitted
by the judge to replace the old cur
tain by a new one and also to put in
new picture machine in place of
the one that is there nov q. \ tenn
porary restraining order was granted
restraining the present owner fom
removing or making any material
changes in the property pending
further hearing by the court. The
judge refused the appointment of a
receiver, holding that no showing
had been made Of the neces ity of a
receiver for the said property.
The Majestic theater will be man
aged and operated by the owner, Mr..
Harris, and the action held at Ar
cadia yesterday in no way interferes
with the proper management OF said
theater.
Messrs. Melton and Youngs were
Represented by Mr. d. o. Rogers
and Mr.. Harris by J c. Williams.

splendid shape, since, in accordance
with certain bylaws, reelection was
out of order.
Mrs. Guy Toph, as corresponding
secretary. reported the club CORE

immediate responses to g4ch letter

quest as made.

er Adams read her report which gave
in detail through itemized statements
the work of each department which
had financial results, and the general
fund Of the club. Mrs. Wright's re-
ports and books are perfect and she
was unanimously elected to the same
office for the coming year.
Each report was adopted in its
turn, and thanks given to the officers
in charge.
Excellent reports Of departmental
work were presented by the various
chairmen which may in time be pub
lished. The splendid activities Of va

Saved by a Dream.

A farmer living at Laprord, England, dreamed thrice in succession thnt he saw a pit dug in one of his fields and some of his property cast. into It. At the third time of dreaming be got up dressed and went out. He heard the thud of a spade and caught sight of a man digging by lantern light The digger fled at his approach. It was a grave upon which he had been at work By It's brink lay a huge knife. On his way back the farmer met one of his maidservants. She had had 6 quarrel with the man to whom she had been engaged, she said, but he had prevailed upon her to meet him for the last time at 2 o'clock that morning, when he had something to show her. '1Thls Is what he had to show you," said the farmer, leading her to the graye.-London Tat Ter.

BOUNDARY LINES.
Mostly Straight In Our Land, Crooked
 and illogical Abroad.

ana lllO9iCal NpEoa0s
 Most United States boundaries are straight lines, and the majority Of these lines are due north and south or east and west. Where the mes are not straight they are nearly always established either by rivers or by mountain ridges. It Is very simple to know where one state ends and an. other begins.
 In Europe. on the contrary, nearly all boundaries are established by crooked and usually illogical lines. The frontiers wind about like foolish COW paths. The more important lines arc definitely established, for they arc too important to be left in doubt. But on some of the dividing lines guessing be- comes a fine art,
 The arbitrariness of European bound aries Is largely a relic of the old un- scientific centuries. But even in this highly scientific century, when new lines are to be laid out they follow the old meandering custom. After the Balkan wars the new boundaries were fixed as they were 800 years ago, whol- ly without regurd to geometry or sim pllcity.
 The contrast Is a minor indicator of a fundamental difference Tho new world Is more buslnesslike thHn the old. It goes more directly to the point It does practical things tp a more practical way. A straight line is more practical than a curl or an arabesque And so the United States Is strong for straight lines.-Cleveland Plain Dealer

ANSWER TO CHARGES
OF TIMBER TRESPASS

St. Paul, Mimi, June 1.-George
Cochran of Bena, and T. J. Welsh Of
Welsh Bros, Bemidji, were before
the state timber board yesterday to
answer charges of trespass made
against them by State Auditor J. A.
O. Preus. The men are accused OF
having cut timber from state lands
unauthorized under their permits and
having disregarded the state mark
on trees for preservation.
Mr.. Preus told the board he had
not yet computed the aggregate value
of the timber involved in the tres
pass but said it would amount to
several hundred dollars against each
firm.
Other cases of trespass are said tc
be prepared for presentation to the
board, but will be taken up at later
meeting.

"He is we'll known nationally and
has shown that he can accomplish
things for this district, which assur-
ance is gaining him many support
ers.
"Of course, we of Little Falls know
him so we'll and believe in him so
thoroughly that we can't see why
others would hesitate. One thing all
classes may be assured of is that II
elected he will represent them all,
and do it in a manner which, l am
