A. Q. Crosby was plamtiff against the Kehl & Deary Lumber company of Chippewa Falls, Wis., was for damages for trespassing on private property of the plaintiff and for cutting pine thereon. The jury went out yesterday noon, and shortly after 5 o’clock last night came in with a verdict for the plaintiff. The jury awards $775 damages, but finds that the trespass of the defendant was in- voluntary, Had the juty found that the trespass was voluntary, the plain- tiff would have been entitled to triple damages, amounting to $4,500. The business of H. E, Richardson will hereafter be in charge of M. Per- reaul. Mr. Perreault has been iden- tified with the painting, paperbanging department for more than a year past, and being a practical workman of many years experience, he is thor- oughly competent to give entire satis- faction. All contracts made by Mr. Richardson will be assumed by Mr. Perreault. He will also look after the undertaking business. Duluth has a new periodical, “The Microcosm,” the first number of which has been issued by Z. H. Aus- tin, who announces that he will publish it monthly, says the Duluth Herald. The mitral number consists of sixteen pages, and it is highly interesting. Mr. Austin is an original and vigorous writer, and he expresses his opinions freely and unreservedly in very plain language. In_ his introductory he says: ‘The Microcosm has behind it no best friend, partner corporation, collateral interest, or dominating in- fluence. It expects to be a hterary- Ishmael, and don’t care a continental for the fear or favor of any featherless biped that walks the earth,” The May number lives up to this promise, Protest From the Rainy It is evident that our neighbors re- siding in the northern part of this county will sooner or later make a kick for a division of territory. Ina recent issue the Rainy Lake Herald has the following argument: ‘The papers of the northern portion of St. Louis county are advocating a separa- tion of the county, as they claim, and | justly so, that*too much of their right- ful patronage finds its way to Duluth. The newspapers certainly have a hard enough time of it out in these scatter- ed regions without losing any of their rightful dues in state patronage. It is acase of the big fish living on the small ones, and is similarto Itasca county, where the Grand Rapids peo- ple live. ‘Thre they not only want the earth, but a fence around it. What are our county commissioners doing and what has the northern por- tion of this county done that we can’t get some attention? The auditor’s report for the past year fails to show any great expenditure for the public good, if any. It seems to us that there is not much to show for the money collected, and such being the case outside of school grants, the northern part of Itasca might as well belong to the Indian reservation, for all the attention itreceives. GREAT THINGS AHEAD Rainy Lake Herald Rejoices Over Present Conditions. The Rainy Lake Herald rejoices in the‘passage of a bill by the senate and house authorizing the construct ing of a dam across Rainy river at Koochiching. Itis said that Minne- apolis capital is interested in a pro- posel railroad to that place. The Rainy Lake Herald says: “This is the bill recently presented by oue worthy representative, Hon. Page Morris, and is good news to the people of this northern part of Minne- sota. Instead of being 100 miles from the nearest telegraph line or railway station, we will soon have these useful conveniences of the nine- teenth century at our door. Witha water power second to none and a country rich in mineral, agricultural and timber wealth, we have the foun- dation for a city at Koochiching that ere long will push the Twin Cities herself, her years and her sex as to parade before the eyes of men in the short skirts which many of them affect, the sight is nothing short of disgusting. Even more to be con demned is the custom which some women have adopted of donning short skirts as a regulation morning or afternoon dress, when they really have no thought of athletics. Too often is it the case that women in these abbreviated skirts enter public dining-rooms or loll around verandas in unwomanly attitudes. There is no more excuse for a woman to appear in a public dining-room in an athletic costume than there is for her to ap- pear at breakfast in a decollete gown orat the dinner-table in a riding habit.” PROCEEDINGS VILLAGE COUNCIL Rie ee GKAND RAPIDS, MINNESOSA.

The past year has witnessed great change, and the coming year will see equally as great. THE WHEEL WOMAN’S SKIRT Short Ones Permissible, but When too Short They Inspire Disgust Addressing athletic women in the May Ladies’ Home Journal, Edward W. Bok has some sensible suggestions regarding their costumes, and pre- sents them very forcibly. ‘We need ouly look at some of the wheel-women who ride over our roads and through our streets, with skirts too short for a well grown child of twelve years, to see how far and to what a vulgar extent this abuse has been carried,’ he says. “For a woman to be com- fortable at her athietics she must have a skirt shorter than that which she wears on the street or in the house. But this does not mean that She should don a garment so scant as to leave her limbs exposed. It is sad ables any crew to get in a fair day’s|enough when we see a very young work ” But on the quiet he told us;girl in these abbreviated athletic that none of the men were kicking andj skirts, but at least we can attribute they ali felt proud cf the splendid rec- it to a youthful indiscretion. But ord that had been made, ) when a married woman so far forgets that dar at which time and place nine dele- gates will be elected by said county conven- tions, then and there assembled, to represent said Itasca county at said state convention, and six delegates will be elected to repre- sent said Itasca county at said congressional convention. Notice is hereby further given. thatsthe Primary Elections to elect delegates to the said county conventions will be held in the several election precincts of said Itusca gpany on Saturday, the 4th day of June, A.
