Itis Remunerative and Rarely Monqtonous: in Large Cities “In addition.to her news work the woman reporter probably does ‘specials’ for the Sunday edition,’™ writes Elizabeth G. Jordan of ‘What it Means ta be a Newspaper Woman” in the January Ladies Home Juurna!. There is no reason why her. income should not be thirty-five or forty dol- larsa week at the end of the sccond year... Aftér she has worked ip. New York five years she should be earging at least fifty dollars a week. Ifshe does she prone to take an apart: ment in @ hotel and spend most of it,. for living expenses. That Commissioner War . Not until the Grand Rapids Mag~. net spoke did the people of Itasca’ county know all the laws, nor did‘ the world at large know the final future” decisions of supreme courts. The giant at the helm of that sheet is truly a marvel not only in the broad field of letters but as well in.the subtilities fof law.’ Compared with hitn the illus- trious Blackstone was but a budding pigmy. The opinions of erstwhile eminent légal. authorities are as nothing compared. with his thunder- bolt decisions. “The claim of. Com- missioner Wilder will not hold—a¢- cording to the Magnet. He was legislated out of office—aceording ta. that same authority. But to withdraw from that august personage for a moment, and to con, sider what others have to say. Prior to the time of holding conventions in this ccunty last fall County At- torney McCarthy looked up the law in the case and consulted witha number of prominent attorneys wha@> agreed with him that Mr. Wilder was not legislated out of office and that the only way to deprive him: of his seat would be through Wilder's resig- nation. To seat Myers the resigna- tion should have been tendered prioy to election. The only means by which a successor can legally be selected to take the place of Wilder would by appointment be by the Rainy Lake and Coochighing” township chairmen. Do the taxpayers of this county desire to. pay. fifteen hundred dollars a year for a commissioner? Died Suddenly. James Donnelly died of pneumonia in Grand Rapids this morning at 2 o’clock. He was taken ill on Sun- day-last and gradually grew worse un- til the end came. It is only a month singe the Herald-Review announced the marriage of Mr. Donnelly and ?| Miss Maggie Smith, sister of Mrs. Martin Dufficy. ‘The deceased had resided in this county a number of years and was well known. His be- reaved bride will have the sympathy ofalarge circle of friends. Under- taker Perreault too: charge of the re-’ mains. ‘ aes Old hats made new at Dye Works, j {
