the Agricultural Society has long been
an annual affair in, this city, and is looked
forward to every year with great deal

Gus CHARGE WHEN LEAVING. {
THE JAIL.

William Porter, whose home is said
to be in the state of Washington, and
who has just mpleted a thirty-day
term in The county jail for assaulting
an officer at Comfrey, few weeks ago,
was taken to Minneapolis Monday, by
Sheriff w. j. Julius, where he was turned
over to the United States army officials,
accused Of deserving from the National
army. /
Assaulted Comfrey Marshal.
Porter attacked the marshal of the
village Of Comfrey with a knife and
threatened his life. He was arrested
and arraigned before a justice of the
peace in that village. A government
agent CHANGED to be at Comfrey at the
time and at his suggestion Porter was
given short jail sentence, pending an
investigation into his past record. He
was brought to the county jail, and the
official went about the probe as to who
Porter really was. It was discovered,
according to the authorities, that Porter,
.
who is said to be an apostle of the I. w.
w. fraternity, had evaded the draft last
spring.
While at Comfrey he had become in
toxicated and when ordered to leave town
by the village marshal, he became very
ugly and threatened to kill that official.
To Face Court Martial.
He win probably be tried by court
martial, and if found guilty will most
likely be sent to the federal prison at
Fort Leavenworth, Kansas.
While in the Twin Cities Sheriff julius
expects to learn more definitely as to
when the next contingent Of men for
Camp Dodge will be called. There have
been many rumors that the call would
be made so they would leave here about
December !, but up to date the exemp
ton board has had no official notice in
the matter.

COUNCIL REFUSES
Gun LOAN REQUEST
ST. JAMES MILITARY COMPANY
SOUGHT TO BORROW cITY,s
EQUIPMENT.
CANNON; HAVE LONG BEEN IN
PossEssIoN OF BURG's
BATTERY.

At an unofficial meeting Of the city
council Thursday evening, attended by
the members Of Burg's Battery, re-
quest from the city of st. James, to
borrow the three field pieces and equip
ment, which have long been in the pos
session Of the battery, was refused by
a unanimous vote of the councilmen
present. The members of the battery
were informed that they had right to
vote on the proposition, and they also
cast their verbal ballot with the alder
men.
Bond Was Offered.
It was explained by Alderman Krook
that the cannon were desired for drilling
purposes for the battery recently or
gained at st. James, that they were
needed only. for a couple Of months, and
that the city Of St, James had agreed
to furnish bond for the return of the
guns in equally as good condition as
when they were taken.
The matter was discussed among
the members Of the council and the
battery members before the meeting
was called to order. In the absence Of
President Behnke, Alderman Krook
presided. In calling the meeting to
order Mr.. Krook stated its object, and
Alderman Hlzens moved that the re-
quest be not granted. Alderman Krook
told the battery members that they had
a night to vote on the question, and the
motion was carried without a dissenting
vote.
Army Officer Here.
Captain Sanborn of the United States
Army, accompanied by number of the
abers of St. James Battery wash
town to secure the loan of the guns,
and reached the council chamber shortly
after the vote had been taken. The
captain has been detailed by the govern
.ment to train the st. James contingent.
Captain Sanborn's disapp ointment was
visible, but he thanked the council for
having taken the trouble to come to-
gether for the purpose Of taking action
and left the hall. The St. James sol
diers, accompanied by Captain Sanbcrn,
returned home by automobile the same
evening.

Especially would they never hold another

held in 1916. What they want, but 50

CASE OF "SHINJU" STIRS JAPS
Double Suicide Attempt Affecting
Family Of Count Yoshikawa Re-
calls Old Practice.

Tokyo.-Japanese society is stirred
by a case of "shinju," or double sui
eide, affecting the family of Count
Akimasa Yoshikawa, vice president OF
the privy council. His daughter, Mrs.
Kwanji Yoshikawa and R1kisuke
Kuramochi, her chauffeur, are alleged
to have sought death in the path OF a
railroad train.
The chauffeur threw the woman on
the tracks, but evidently lacked time
to carry out his intention Of following
her. Instead he drew a short sword,
slashed his throat and died few mo-
ments later. Mrs. Yoshikawa was
tossed from the rails by the engine.
Her condition was pronounced crit
ical.
The husband of Mrs. Yoshikawa had
been adopted by the YOshikawa fam
lily, becoming the heir to the count.
A case Of "shinju" is not unusual in
Japan and since the olden days many
fanciful love stories have been woven
around this japanese practice. 1t is
extraordinary, however, for a woman
of as high birth as Count Yoshikawa's
daughter to choose to end her life In
such a fashion. The fact that the
woman was married and that she
sought death with her chauffeur
heightens the interest of the affair in
Japanese minds.

WOMEN NEVER CAN SEE JOKE

made up his mind that he must tel
that to his wife, so, on reaching home
he burst into the room, and laughed
until his wife thought he would never
stop.

Vitrimont, q village of Lorraine, ly-

France, is being rebuilt at the expense
Of Mrs. William Henry Croker, wife
Of William Henry Croker, the promi-
nent banker Of San Francisco, Cal.
Mrs. Croker has already donated
$4,000 to begin the work of recon-
struction. The village Is being re-
built on a new plan which will pro-
duce a model village.
Miss Polk is in charge Of the entire
reconstruction work, having been chos-

is In Vitrimont supervising the work.
The inhabitants, scattered by the Ger
man invasion, have returned and have
entered into the spirit of the work and
are doing much to help the Americans
in building the new village.
Vitrimont has been the scene of hot
artillery duels and engagements, hardly
a roof remaining on house. The vii
lage until a very short time ago was a
mass of ruin and debris.
The picture shows one cottage in the
ruined town which has already been
repaired and made habitable. In the
doorway stands French soldier, home
on short leave, with his wife and child.
Over the entrance the American flag
hangs in company with the French en-
blem, an evidence Of the gratefulness.

MOTHERS LOVE STAYS DEATH
Woman With Incurable MaIady Re-

Saratoga, N. Y.-One of the most
remarkable cases of mother love
known to this section is attracting at
tention at the Saratoga hospital. Physi-
clans and nurses, Injured to pitiful
scenes, are touched by the case of a
woman who, they declare, refuses to
die" until she has seen her son once
more.
Mrs. z. Shanks arrived at the hos
pital short time ago suffering from
an incurable malady. Premonition of
her condition came early to Mrs.
Shanks and with it desire to see her
son, "Wiflie," who left home five years
ago. Prayers and cries for her MISS
ing child's return arouse the hospital
staff day and night.
The boy traces his ancestry to the
British, and there is a belief that he
may have enlisted in the allied forces.
Medical authorities are astounded
that Mrs. Shanks has not succumbed to
the fatal malady. They can explain it
only by saying that her mother love
has made her will triumph temporarily
over her ills.
