Minn.. as second class matter. SUBSCRIPTION---$5.00 PER ANNUM CAN'T PLEASE EVERYBODY. It amuces us to see exchanges squirm in an effort to offend no one. The newspaper that can be published so as not to offend anyone is a jewel and the editor is entitled to a pair of golden wings. Human nature is so constituted that some like to see others “ripped up the back,” others don’t; some like to have the . truth told - about them, others don’t; some like to take a paper six or eight years and never pay a cent and get mad and stop the paper when they get a statement of account, others don’t. It is not in the province of a paper to please everybody and the editor can extract consolation from the fact that the good Lord himself failed to please everybody while on earth.—Austin Register. OBSERVATIONS. [By “Doc"] The king of mail swindlers is called “Peanuts.” We may add, “roasted.” Ambassador Tower has no doubt bad a congenial task in seeing that Germany did not make a mountain out of a Jayne Hill. A Philadelphia church warden and minister came to blows over the Sun- day collection. What little things some men will quarrel over! We hear with regret that Ward McAllister, the son of the society leader, is in hard luck. Always ex- pected a good deal from the Second Ward, somehow. The introduction into Congress ofa bill to compel all American ships to carry a breeches buoy out- fit would never pass unamended if the women had a vote. They would insist upon a walking skirt outfit as well. A Japanese expert has come over to investigate our Department of Agriculture. When he gets back home every Nipponese congressman will probably be empowered to send his constituents free packages of orange and cherry blossoms. Three Queer Things. The curious things which occur in the world on a given day would no doubt if collected excite the wonder of the most incredulous. Yet in a single newspaper there was recently found an account of a woman who was gullty of so infamous a proceeding as going to sleep at a shop while the as- sistant was in the act of showing her jome dress stuffs, accompanying the exhibition with the usual elogquence of these individuals. The second related the acuteness of two tramps who concelved the idea of going to a fancy dress ball in their ordinary attire. As may be imagined, they devoted the best part of thelr time to a serious inroad on the re- sources of the supper room, much to the amusement of the whole party, who naturally thought they were guests who had been Invited to the entertainment and who, having made themselves up with exceptional skill for their assumed parts, were carrying out the idea of the characters they represented for the purpose of the jest. The third story was that of an ab- sentminded young woman who was playing with a pair of scissors and proceeded to trim off her eyebrows quite unconscious of what she was dolng.—Pearson’s Weekly. An Unsecured Loan. Though pawnbrokers are not sup- posed to have any friends, only custom- ers, there is a story that is told In New York that shows that they sometimes stretch their rules—If the right man: comes along. A certain racing man. had been having a very hard streak of luck. If there were twenty-one horses in the race, his choice would never be better than No. 20. Finally his money was all gone; also all of his negotiable property. When he had spent his last dollar for breakfast, he turned into the pawnshop where all his valuables were being cared for, and they amounted to considerable. “I'd like to have $500 on this,” he 8aid to the proprietor, laying down an ordinary lead pencil on the counter. ‘Without a change of countenance, the pawnbroker made out a ticket and passed the money over the counter. Right there the racing man’s for- tunes seemed to change. Every one of his selections proved an easy winner, and, as he pushed his luck, he was able at the end of the week to redeem his pencil and all his other valuables. —New York Globe. A Great Secret. At some of the English country fairs a ‘“great secret” is sold in sealed en- velopes at twopence aplece. Here i8 the secret: “Never buy an article be- fore examining it. If you had known this before, you would not have paid twopence for this worthless envelope When you could get more than two dozen good ones for the same price.” some of our! WILLRETURNTOPARIS Anna Gould Said to Have Quar: reled With Her Family. DESIRES TO WED DE SAGAN Relatives Intend, It Is Said, to En- force the Provisions of Her Father’s Will Relating to Marriage Without the Consent of the Others. New York, April :.—That Prince Helie de Sagan is a suitor for the hand of Madame Anna Gould is an- nounced by the prince himself in a statement in which he says that Madame Gould will sail for France very soon after his own departure, which is set for April 9. The prince’s announcement was made coincident with the circulation of reports that Madame Gould has quarreled with her family because of her determination to marry De Sagan. Madame Gould is quoted as saying that she shall not “longer be oppressed and ruled by her family;" that at last “she has asserted herself and shall abide by her own decision.” Madame Gould has left the home of her sister, Miss Helen Gould, with whom she has been stay- ing since .her arrival from France more than a week ago, and is living with friends at the Hotel St. Regis. Not only is sentiment, but money as well, involved in the break between Madame Gould and the members of her family. The will by which Jay Gould disposed of his fortune con- tained a codicil which mey have a prominent part in developments should there follow a prolongation of the family trouble. This codicil pro- vided that any of his children who should marry without first' gaining the consent of the other sons and daughters should forfeit one-half of his or her interest in the estate. In Madame Gould’s case the one-half in- terest is variously estimated at be- tween $6,000,000 and $8,000,000. It is said to be the contention of Madame Gould, however, that this provision of the will was abrogated as far as she is concerned when the consent of her brothers and sisters was given to her marriage with Count Boni de Castel- lane. Having taken this position she is said to have retained a prominent firm of attorneys with large interests both in New York and Paris and to have informed her relatives at the last family conference that she is pre- pared to fight, if necessary, for what she regards as her right to her entire share of the fortune left by her father. ADMIRAL EVANS ASHORE. WIil Undergo Treatment at San Luis Obispo. San Diego, Cal., April \—The flag- ship Connecticut of the Atlantic fleet, with Rear Admiral Robley D. Evans on board, arrived off Coronado and the admiral was taken off on the ten- der Yankton and brought to this city, where a private car had been placed at his disposal. Admiral Evans plainly showed the effects of his ill- mness. He left for San Luis Obispo to recelve treatment at the mineral het springs. The Connecticut returned to Magdalena bay immediately. To the Associated Press Admiral Hvans sald: “On the advice of my physiclans I am going to Paso Nobles Springs for treatment. I am told that my rheu- matic pains, which have become at times almost unendurable, cannot be conquered so long as I remain in sea air and aboard ship, where the neces- sary diet and the treatment cannot be secured.” The officers who accompanied Ad- miral Evans say he is in much better health now than he was at the time of arrival at Magdalena Bay. He sat in his emergency cabin, on the after bridge of the Connecticut, on the way up from Magdalena Bay and took a lively interest in every detail of the trip. Senator Davis Fined $25. Little Rock, Ark., April J—United States Senator Jefferson Davis was fined $26 in police court for disturb- ing the peace. The fine was admin- istered for the senator’s action in get- ting a pistol and appearing on the street, where he had been attacked and beaten a few minutes before by Thomas Helm, deputy prosecuting at- torney. It is alleged Davis flourished the revolver and made threats of tak- Ing a shot at his antagonist, who had Vanished. Helm was fined $10 for assault. Jealous Woman Kills Another. Los Angeles, Cal, April (.—Mrs. Helen Griffin, twenty-eight years of age, was shot and instantly killed by Mrs. U. Z. de Arman, wife of U. Z. de Arman, who has been racing horses at Santa Anita during the past sea- son. Mrs. de Arman fired five shots, one of which took effect under her victim’s left ear, killing her almost Instantly. The motive for the shoot- ing is admitted by De Arman to have been jealousy of him by his wife. Soothing Syrup Kills Twins. St. Paul, April .—The twin babies of Mr. and Mrs. C. H. Ackerknecht are dead of opiate poisoning, superin- duced by the use of a well known brand of soothing syrup. The bables, a boy and a girl, had been given the soothing syrup to quiet them and were given an overdose, according to the attending physician. FOR NEGRO REINSTATEMENT Foraker Asks That Rejected Bills Go on the Calendar. ‘Washington, April “—In reporting adversgely from the committee on mili- tary affairs two bills for the reinstate- ment of negro soldiers of the Twenty- fifth United States infantry Semator Foraker said that he would not move an indefinite postponement, as is us- ual in such cases, but would ask that they go on the calendar. —“At the earliest opportunity,” said Mr. Foraker, “I will éall up the bill introduced by me for consideration and will ask the senate to disagree to the report and pass the measure.” Senator Warren inquired whether the report submitted was ‘a long one. “No,” replied Mr. Foraker, amid laughter of senators, “I do not fell like dwelling on the subject.” Mr. Warren explained how it had ‘| happened that elght members of the committee favoring reinstatement of the colored soldiers had not been able to join in a favorable report, saying that the five Democrats on the com- mittee did not fayor either bill. Senator Scott added that he was ready to vote for either of the bills reported, but preferred the Foraker bil. CHARGES ARE DISMISSED. Shancellor Day Acquitted of Defam- ing the President. New Yeork, April %—The charges preferred against Chancellor Day of Syracuse university by Rev. George A. Cooke of Brandon, Vt., were ruled out of court by Bishop David H. Moore at the opening of the 109th session of the New York Methodist Episcopal eonference. Bishop Moore, in dismiss- Ing the charges, said he regarded the DR. J. R. DAY. complaint against Chancellor Day as a direct attack upon free speech and free press. The decision was greeted with cheers and long continued ap- plause. The charges against Chancellor Day contained five counts and were to the effect that he had defamed President Roosevelt in some of his public utter- ances. Mr. Day made no effort to answer the ch: PROHIBITION AN ISSUE. Populist National Convention Divided on Question. St. Louis, April }—Numerous dele- gates to the Populist convention have arrived and it soon became evident from the expressions of the late arriv- als that there is small chance of the convention taking any stand against prohibition. The matter will certainly come up In the meetlug of the committee on resolutions and may be dragged into a debate on the floor of the conven- tion, but the present probability seems to be that if any declaration is made it will be in favor of prohibition rather than against it. A considerable num- ber of the delegates are against any plank in the platform touching upon prohibition. ALBERTA BUYS LINES. Canadian Province Secures Bell Tele- phone System. Montreal, April “.—W. H. Cushing, minister of public works for the prov: ince of Alberta, has completed ar- rangements with the Bell Telephone company of Canada for the purchase of the lines of the company located in the province of Alberta for the sum of $675,000. The Bell company a short time ago sold out its lines in the prov- ince of Manitoba to the Manitoba gov- ernment and the only lines it now has west of the Great Lakes are those in |the province of Saskatchewan and in the cities of Port Arthur and Fort William. It is expected that the com- pany will dispose of these and con- fine its attentions to the Rast. Nine Business Houses Burn.

The Right Place. A dignified elderly gentleman riding on a train was annoyed by a boy sit- ting across the aisle. The boy had just finished his breakfast and was amus- ing himself by laughing at the old gentleman. Presently the latter lean- ed over and said to the boy’s mother: “Madam, that child should be spank- ed” “I know it,” sald she, “but I don’t believe in spanking a child on a full stomach.” “Nefther do I,” said he. over.” “Turn him Appropriate.
