SKATING RINK.

The skating rink in North German
Park was flooded during the cold spell
last week and attracted a large number
Of young and old enthusiasts Of this
exlh1iilliarating ia outdoor sport until the
thaw came. One Of the deplorable
features Of this public skating rink ink is
the fact that a number Of big, over
grown rowdies, who apparently con
slider it; their. own private property,
monopolize the most desirable partaof
the rink, intimidating children and
young ladies who go there to enjoy an
evenings recreation. If this state of
affairs continues, the proper city au-
thorities should step in and call a halt,
as the rink is public property and its
mission is principallyjto to furnish amuse-
ment without danger to children and
young people who are deyotees Of this
winter sport.

staged at Turner Hall, Saturday even

Turner Sunday school, assisted by a
few grown-ups, under the able direc-

The, affair was most pleasing and
demonstrated the remarkable talent,
especially CT the juvenile performers.
From an educational standpoint also
it was a decided success, as it proved
the pliability and adaptability Of the
youthful mind. A packed house
greeted the play. The Christmas

Living Expenses Lower.
Living expenses are somewhat
lower than they were few months
ago. The price of meat was cut
on an average Of FIVE cents a pound,
but in the staple groceries there is
hardly a noticeable change for the
better The dullness of Christmas
shopping, when compared with the
orgy of spending in the last few
years, showed that those who have a
little money are tenaciously chnging

on the other hand it showed that the

came separated from the chain and
was hurled against the large new

force that splinters Of glass were
Clipped from the inside Of the

Bits of glass were scattered several

Mystery Surrounds
Attempted Murder OF
Man Near Warroad

Warroad. Mimi, April 1S.-An at
tempt to poison John Halvorson. a
farmer of this vicinity. by putting
paris green into his coffee pot, was
frustrated when Mr.. Halvorson no.
ticed that the coffee made for him
self and a neighbor was off color. Mr..
.Halvorson had invited John Hanson,
a neighbor, to eat dinner with him
and prepared coffee for the two. the
fortunate discovery of the poison saw
ing their lives.
Three days later a neighbor was
arrested on suspicion, as two of Hal
vorson's cows had died in the mean
time, both from arsenic poisoning as
shown by an examination of the s.om-
achs, tracks having been traced from
Halvorson's house to the direction OF
the neighbours. 1t was also learned
that the neighhor had taken some
oats from Halvorson without the
owners permission early in the year
and had later paid for them on the
condition that the matter be kept en-.
tirely silent. In some this
story had gotten out. and it was sus.
pected that the neighbor sought re.
venge.
However, evidence was not suf1.
cient to warrant any action, but the
neighborhood Is aroused by the at.
tempted murder as we'll as by the
killing Of the cattle and a determined
effort is being made to find the gull.
'ty party. Nearly all the neighbors
believe that the guilty party must be
mentally unbalanced.

won first prize in the Anna Case es-
say contest conducted by H. l.. Ed
wards, who is managing Miss Cases
local engagement. Miss Case will sing
here next Wednesday night. Miss Sa-
gems essay follows:
Take 1t all in all, it is not too
much to say that tho career Of Anna
Case Is the most interesting and ex-
ceptional of any on record in Amerl-
can modern art and music. She is the
daughter of a village blacksmith and
first saw the light of day in Clinton.
New Jersey, on October 20. 1889. In
this short period OF only 80 years she
has risen from a very humble posi-
ton in life to q noted American sing
er of great distinction.
San Introduction of Miss Case or
an account of her career would have
earlier life. for it was during these
trying days that she developed q
character and acquired those IDEALS
and high ambition that made it pos
sible for her to develop that talent
which has made her the noted woman
Of America that she is today.
Dickens once said Of himself that
he was not an Observation-Disclosures
ken-care-of child. This may well be
~ W l1kV N1l4IOAOOA VA II N0oCs
She did all of the Homework and took
care Of the smaller children; and be-
sides this she scrubbed floors for the
neighbors, sold soap, worked in her
fathers blacksmith shop, and even
at one time drove q hack. One may
we'll realize what ar industrious ma
ture she possessed even in childhood.
Fond Of Music.
During all this time she was pas
sionately fond Of music AT the & OF
Is she had picked up enough knowl-
edge of piano to give a few lessons
for which she earned a few dollars a
week. About a year later she secured
a place in the church choir. It was
at this time that she discovered that
she had a voice. AS she went about
her work she thought and dreamed
of becoming a singer; her ambitions
whispered hat she must develop her
voice and be somebody in the world.
From the few dollars she earned,
she was able to take q vocal lesson
occasionally from a New York teach
er. Finally a merchant in a nearby
town. who had been observing this
ambitious girl and her struggle, Of
fered to pay for her music lessons on
condition that she pay it back when
she was able. This helped her won
derfully. The debt, which amounted
to SIS, was the only financial assist
ance she ever received toward her
musical career.
Eat length her father objected to
her trips to New York, declaring that
he needed her at home and that to
sing in a church choir was a high
enough position for anyone. The
young girl realized that in order to
foster her dreams she had cherished
50 long. she must keep UP with her
music lessons. So with only one dol
lar and a half, she left home.
All Alone In the World.
I'VE now find this ambitious girl,
all alone in the world, without mon
ey or influence Of any kind, but with
three qualities which mean mor to
