It is said that her shadow still lingers around the classic precincts. Wonder what kind of a reception she would receive were she to call again soon? Water way development. Does it sound reasonable to say no stream should be improved so as to be use ful until it has first developed traffic sufficient to justify the expense. It looks much like the advocoted water way projects will meet with opposition by the present federal administration. This prospect ' is not entirely the result of an actual hostility to waterways, but also to the honest conviction that the water ways should be improved only in proportion to the actual development of the traffic on the LOOKS LIKE A ROYAL FLUSH.

The state immigration commis- sioner has compiled some figures that should interest those who farm with their heads as well as with their hands. He shows from the sta- tistics of the department of agricul- ture that the average return from an acre of crops in Minnesota is $14.78, while the average value of Minnesota land is $39.97. The land of Iowa is worth $70.03 and the average of the crop is $11.98. The crop aver- age of Illinois was $16.51, but the value of Illinois land averaged $152.58 What should we expect of the farmer who looks at his business from a business standpoint? Suppose he has $5,000 to put into a farm- ing venture. * Would he buy thirty- three acres in Illinois that would yield him $545 a year, seventy acres in Towa that would yield him $839 a year or 132 acres in Minnesota that would yield him $1,9647 Asa business proposition, agriculture in Minnesota should appeal to the 1n- vestor. Of course, statistics show that V- tha crop returns in some states farther west equal more than the average value of the land. It should be borne in mind, however, that the average value of the land out there is greatly reduced by the large areas that are unsettled and have little value. The same is true in Minnesota to a lesser extent. But Minnesota also i1s more advantage- ously located in regard to markets. The man who settles in the North Star State has practically all the advantages offered in the older settled states combined with the opportunties to be found on the frontier.—Tribune. Ist THE WAY. | When you know of 3 person only what he himself tells you, get others opinion before you confide in him. Men who bring ‘others into. the limelight must not insist on taking all the credit, because the man “who is brought out wont stay out unless he’s “there with *he goods”. Itis a short lane that has no stumbling blocks. The men who can drink and keep sober generally abstain from drinking, When the man runs’ the family they are generally undesirable as acquaintances. A rich man with a taste for figures says he cannot figure out whether a loafer or a shopping daughter con- tributes the most to the cost of living. DRAMATIC SCENE IN'COURT Prisoner Swoons When Judge Passes Prison Sentence. Lansing, Mich.,, Feb. [—Former State Treasurer Frank P. Glazier was sentenced by Judge Wiest to serve not less than five nor more than ten years in prison for misappropriating $685,000 of state funds. Glazier con- trolled a bank at Chelsea, which failed, and the money had been deposited in this bank contrary to law. A dramatic scene followed the pro- nouncing of the sentence. Judge Wiest had scarcely finished speaking when Glazier turned away from the bench and swooned. His wife endeavored to assist him to his feet, but in her excitement fell beside her husband. Two daughters, hurrying to the aid of their parents, only added to the con- fusion and quickly fell themselves, all four lying on the courtroom floor be- fore the judge’s bench. BELIEVED TO BE INSANE Minnesotan Who Killed Wife and Four Children. Parkers Pralrie, Minn., Feb. '— William Ruckheim, aged thirty-seven, killed his wife, two sons, two and four vears old, and two daughters, eight and ten years old, by beheading them us they slept with the sharp edge of an axe. Ruckheim then stabbed himself Ruckheim is believed to be insane. “I have done the right thing,” he sai “The world is coming to an end.” A search of the premises revealed four calves which had been Kkilled with an axe. In a rambling statement to the sheriff Ruckheim said some- thing about giving up sacrifices and also that he killed the calves to feed the dogs, of which Ruckheim has sev- eral.

Thousand Dollars of Public Funds Paid for Removal of “Shale Rock,” Which, on Examination, Proved to Be Only Hard Clay—Sec- ond Indictments Returned Against Number of Others. Chicago, Feb. 7.—Four true bills charging city “hall officlals with con- spiracy in connection with the “shale rock” sewer frauds were returned by the county grand jury. ‘The men in- dicted are: John Ericsson, city en- glneer; Michael H. McGovern, ' con- tractor; Paul Redieske, former deputy commissioner of public ‘works, and Ralph A. Bonnell, former 'assistant city engineer. All four, with the exceptlon of Ericsson, were indicted a short time 2go in connection with an alleged at- tempt to defraud the city of about $250,000 in the building of “section N” of the Lawrence avenue sewer. The “shale rock” scandal was in re- gard to the construction of “section D” of the same sewer. The city paid the McGovern company more than $45,000 for the removal of a large quantity of so called “shale rock.” Upon examination by experts it was stated that the “rock” was mnothing more than hard clay and offered little obstruction in .excavating. Mr. McGovern was the contractor in charge of the construction and was the man paid for the removal of the “shale rock.” Bonnell certified that it was rock. Ericsson approved Bon- nell’s decision. Redieske then put hig stamp of approval on the work and the city paid the money to McGovern. Second indictments were returned against McGovern, Bonnell, Redieske and the eight others who were indict- ed last week on charges of attempts to defraud the city out of $250,000 for work on another part of the Lawrence | avenue sewer.
