PARENTS FIGHT OVER CHILDREN Father Seeks Custody of Two Boys—Court Decides for Mother. A case which always appeals to the heart is the disagreement and separation of ‘parents and the quarrel afterwards as to whom shall have “the care and custody of the small children. Judge Spooner bas on several occasions of late been called up on to settle difficulties of this kind, and the habaes corpus pro- ceedings which came before him last evening adds to the hist. Sometime ago a :disagreement arose between Francis Coleman and his wife ouliana, resulting in a separation and later the commencement of divorce pro- ceedings. When the action for divorce was started the mother placed the two boys, Ralph and Clifford, with her father. The husband objected to this and brought the matter before Judge Spooner on a writ of habeas cor- pus, asking for the custody of the children, The parties come up from their home in Nary Wednesday evening and the matter was taken up in chambers. After hearing the testimony the court decided to leave the childven under the care of the mother until the divorce pro- ceedings have been disposed of.

THREE YEARS IN ’PEN FOR THIEF Christ Hanson Steals Silk, Con- fesses Guilt and Is Sen- tenced.—Bad Record. Three years in the penitentiary were yesterday handed out by Judge Spooner to Christ Hanson of Nymore, confessed thief and all-around bad man with alengthy jail record. Hanson pleaded guilty yester- day afternoon to stealing twelve yards-of silk from the Bazaar store, and sentence was imposed without delay. The man js 43 years old and has been an inmate of the county jail so often within the last few years that the police have lost track of his offences. Yesterday morning he was caught by the proprietor of the Bazaar store walking off with a load of silk. The police were notified at once and an officer hastened to the scene. But the man had secured a good start and led the officer an exciting chase before he was cap- tured. County Attorney McDonald gathered his evidence together with vigor and when he put it up to the prisoner, the latter saw that a fight would be useless and decided to plead guilty to grand larceny in the second degree. BEMIDJI SEEKS 1910 CONVENTION Almost Wins 1909 Meeting of State Firemen, But Enters Fight Too Late. Earl Geil, E. H, Cornwall and John Doran, who represented the Bemidji fire department at the state convention held atLe Sueur on June 138 and 14, re- 4 turned home last evening. They report that there were some 500 delegates in attendance and that the meeting was one of the most successful and interesting yet beld. The people of LeSueur vied with each other in ' their efforts to entertain the visiting firemen and made the time spent there very enjoyable. There was something of a con- test as to where the conyention of 1909 would be held. The con- ventions up to that year have al- ready been designated, as it is the custom of the association to name places for holding meetings at least three yearsin advance. Cloquet has been an active can- didate for the 1909 tournament for two years, but the Bemidji department decided at the “eleventh hour’’ that it would go after the convention for that year. Despite the fact that it entered the field after the loca- tion had been practically given to Cloquet, it made an excellent showing. The local delegates were given hearty support by C. E. Leeman, chief of the Cass Lake fire de- partment and president of the tournament association, and by Thomas R. Joknson, secretary of the Crookston fire depart- ment. When the vote was taken Clo- quet secured 175 votes and Be- midji 143, Many of the dele- gates came to the Bemidji boys and declared that had they known Bemidji was a caundidate before they had pledged their votes; they would certainly have voted for this place. The Bemidji department will next year go after the 1910 meet- ing and will getin the field early. Henry L. Limpoych of St. Cloud was elected president of the association, and D. L. Kane of Minneapolis was re-elected secretary. The next meeting of the association will be held at St. Cloud, that of 1908 at Mankato, 1909 at Cloguet.

Slang, which is slovenliness in speech, is as contemptible as slovenli- ness in dress. Many people use slang because they are too lazy to think of proper forms for the expression of thought. The clothing of our minds certainly ought to be regarded before that of our bodles. Charles W. Bailey, a blind pianist and composer, has filed a suit for di- vorce at St. Louis from Amanda F. Bailey, also sightless, naming in his petition Charles E. Reavey, a blind newsboy, as the man who disrupted his home. Preliminary negotiations have been concluded between the United States and Ecuador for quarantine regula- tions which will lessen the possibility of interchange of yellow fever infec- tion between Panama and Guayaquil, the chief port of Ecuador.
