Thus between 7 o'clock aud midnight Yuesdag the city was practically without fire protection, aud bad a conflagration broken out there is no telling the damage that the firy mon- ster would have done as a heavy wind prevailed all night. We can consider ourselves lucky Lhat no fire broke out, but the village duds should inimedia- tely purchase 500 feet of huse to be held in reserve at all tines. The village should station a cart with a few hundred feet of hose reel- ed thereon at the pumping station. \ That portion of the towh is now welll builtup, and ampie tire; cosas should be furnished.

The Appeal For the Scandinavian Sufferers from Famine Should Bear Much Fruit. Governor VanSanut has issued an appeal for aid to the sufferers in i Swelteii; Norway and Finland, and from the responses already wade the committee appeiited by his ex- cellency to receive coutribations are assured of a maguificent donation by the big hearted people of the North Star state. Phe conditions in these famine- stricken countries are really alarm- ing—hunger aud destitution being experieuced by buandreds of thou- sands. For some Lime it was believed that there governments and the more ¢ forbunate parts of their countries, | Logether with the individuak coutri- | Lutions from this country that have been collected would be sufficrest to avert disaster. While this is true, lo ab extent, as to Norway, and the reports indicate that only a comparative small arca of that coun- try bas suffered a total failure of crops, the numerous reports, frum en- tirely relintble sources. as to Northern Sweden and Finland tell us that the situation there is extremely critical. Briefly stated it is this: A very and unfavorable spring, heavy fieods, early frost andice destroyed pre cally all-crops and vegetation, ‘The number of pecple deprived of their bread, through no fault of the timated at 500,000.

Patterson, erstwhile of Grand Rapids, but now a citizen of Duluth, has commenced an ection for divurce in the St. Louis county courts. Mr. Patterson about three years ago conducted the No:thern Cale restaurant here, ancLon March 21, 1900, was married to Willmar Edith Collins, who was amployet hy ‘Thos. ‘Trainor for some time the fore part of 1900. It seems that ten days of married life was enough for Mrs. Patterson. At the expir- ation of that time, according to the complaint of George L. Patierson, she deserted her wedded lord and master, and left for parts unknown, therefore the latter now seks an absolute divorce. The complaint was filed in ‘the St. Louis county clerk’s office ‘Tuesday afternoon. G.
