KTS PLACE
Succeeds Judge Lochren of Fed=
eral Court at Minneapolis.
SENATORS TURNED DOWN
Messrs. Clapp and Nelson Had Rec
ommended W. E. Hale, a Mill
City Attorney, for Position.
The president has sent to the sen
ate the name of Milton D. Purdy
of Minnesota to be United States
judge at Minneapolis in place
of Judge Lochren, retired. Senators
Clapp and Nelson had recommended
W. E. Hale of Minneapolis for the
place.
Since Mr. Purdy's appointment to
the position of assistant to the attor
ney general in July, 1905, on the res
ignation of Judge William A. Day, he
has had special charge in the depart
ment of justice of all cases relating to
the enforcement of the Sherman anti-
Mi LTON D. PURDY.
trust act aud the interstate commerce
laws. He has argued before the Unit
ed States supreme court many impor
tant cases for the government, among
his most recent victories being the
two cases of the Great Northern Rail
way company and the Armour Pack
ing company against the United
States, in which the government was
successful. Through Mr. Purdy's work
important principles of law applicable
to the interstate commerce act were
established.
CAPTAIN HART DISBARRED
Cannot Practice in State Courts for
Six Months.
Suspension from practicing as an
attorney in any of the courts of this
state for six months is the punishment
meted out to Captain Francis B. Hart
of Minneapolis by the special supreme
court appointed to try the disbarment
proceedings instituted against him by
the State Bar association. The de
cision, written by Judge Frank C.
Brooks of Minneapolis, acting chief
justice, was filed with the clerk of the
supreme court.
The special court severely arraigns
Captain Hart for the language used
in his letter to Chief Justice Start
and incidentally upholds the correct
ness of the decisions rendered by the
supreme court to which Mr. Hart took
exception and upon which th® letters
were based. As to his defense that
the letters were written by him as a
citizen and not as an officer of the
court, the special court holds that
insofar as he exercised the right of a
private citizen in criticising the court
he was immune from the penalty
sought to be enforced, but that in as
sailing the chief justice personally he
wilfully violated his oath of office and
rendered himself liable to disbarment.
MAY BLOCK CONFIRMATION
Purdy's Appointment Referred to Nel
son, Depew and Overman.
The nomination of Milton D. Pur
dy of Minneapolis, now assistant
to the attorney general, to be United
States district judge of Minnesota, in
the senate judiciary committee was
referred to Senators Nelson, Depew
and Overman. Mr. Nelson opposed
the appointment of Mr. Purdy to the
judgeship and should he continue his
opposition could prevent confirmation
at this session of the senate.
Railroad Employe Killed.
Thomas Nixon of St. Paul, em
ployed in the roundhouse in the
Northern Pacific yards, was run down
and instantly killed as he was* going
to work. It was snowing hard at the
time and the engineer of the switch
engine did not see Nixon on the tracks
and Nixon for the same reason could
not see the approaching engine. Nix
on's body was horribly mangled and
death was instantaneous.
Child Strangled to Death.
The ten-year-old son of J. A.
Schulte of Spring Grove became en
tangled in the hay rope in his
father's barn and strangled to death.
The little fellow was trying to make
a swing out of the hay rope and stood
on the beam and fastened the rope to
the rafter, when in some way he Ioet
his balance and fell, the rope becom
ing entwined around his neck.

BEES PAID FOR EDUCATION.
Girl Made Specialty of Rearing
Queens, Which Sold for $f Each.
Berkeley, Cal.—Skilled in the ways
of the bee, Miss Flora Mclntyre, a
junior student of the University of
Chicago, who is earning her way
through college by rearing bees, is
engaged in writing a series of maga
zine articles on the bee. These
articles will be of the greatest scien
tific value, as the subject will be cov
ered completely. Miss Mclntyre has
contributed a number of articles for
magazines dealing with special phases
of the subject.
Registered in the college of letters
at the University of California, Miss
Mclntyre, whose home is in Ventura,
came to the university three years
ago, and during that time has made
the industry of rearing queen bees
during vacation periods provide funds
for her education here. The queens
were sold at one dollar each, and Miss
Mclntyre, besides defraying her ex
penses at the university, has been en
abled to bank a snug sum above ex
penses.
The entomologists of the university
are much interested in her work and
have frequently sought her advice on
matters concerned with the rearing
of the bee for its commercial value.
FIGHT DUEL WITH CANES.
Students Discard Deadly Weapons and
Adopt Innovation.
Lissa, Posen. Fifteen minutes'
slashing with a cane was the limit of
endurance of one of the antagonists
in the newest form of students' duel,
which has just occurred outside this
city, where it has been decided among
the students of the technical high
school to dispense in the future with
the deadly weapons for the decision of
affairs of honor.
The students met at a chosen spot,
where seconds marked out a ring.
The antagonists then stripped to the
waist, each was handed a cane of
equal length, and they then stepped
into the ring. At the word of com
mand of the director of the combat
they began slashing furiously until
finally, after a quarter of an hour, one
of them overstepped the limits of the
ring. He was thereupon declared to
be the loser, but to the onlookers it
was difficult to decide which of the op
ponents had suffered most, as their
ribs, arms and backs presented the ap
pearance of having been flayed.
In the university circles, where
duels with swords have hitherto been
the only recognized custom for stu
dents' duels,
opinion
is greatly exer
cised over the attempted innovation.
ESKIMOS MARRIED ON TRIAL.
After Two Years of Wedded Life Di
vorces Are Unknown.
Tacoma, Wash.—The first ethnolog
ist to visit and study the primitive
north Alaskan Eskimos, Victor Stef
ansson, has returned to New West
minster with an interesting account of
two years' traveling among them.
A peculiarity not hitherto made pub
lic in connection with Eskimos is the
system of trial marriages in vogue.
Conventional canons are entirely dis
regarded, the only preliminaries to
marriage being the securing of an
option on the heart and hand of an
Eskimo belle by the suitor. If, after
a few weeks or months the couple find
they are not congenial, the girl re
turns to her father.
It is not unusual for a young girl to
be married five or six times before
finally finding her affinity. After two
years' companionship, tribal divorces
are unknown. In middle life married
couples become more strongly at
tached to each other than at any pre
vious stage.
COURT TIES HER TONGUE.
She Must Not Ask Autoist for More
New Teeth as Reparation.
Boston.—An injunction restraining
Nellie V. Allen from talking to him
was secured by Edward Riley, a well
known Boston lawyer.
In asking for the court order Riley
explained that three months ago he
ran his automobile into Miss Allen,
knocking out most of her teeth. He
says he paid her damages and got her
a set of false teeth.
Since then she has been complain
ing that the teeth were not satisfac
tory and has sought every occasion
to tell him so. For a month or so she
made daily visits to his office. Then
she added a visit to his home in the
evening. He stood that, but when dur
ing the last month she made a prac
tice of stopping him every time she
saw him on the street, demanding a
new set of teeth, he thought it time
to call a halt.
Love in Dakota Worth $2,500.
Aberdeen, S. D.—"Love and affec
tion and $1,000" is the unusual consid
eration entered in the records as the
purchase price of 240 acres of val
uable farming land deeded by Joseph
T. Peck of Oregon to Mrs. George
Tooker and Mrs. Whitman Stone, two
married daughters of Salem, Ore.
This is the first time love and af
fection have been recognized in this
state as considerations. The value
of the property indicates that "lore"
and "affection" are each worth $2,500
in this case.
Motor Invalid Chairs Now.
London.—A woman inventor ap*
peared in the streets this week in an
invalid chair ran by a small motor.
The seat for the chauffeur was be
lilnd. Underneath the chair there was
email electric battery.
A HARD STRUGGLE
Many a Worthington Citizen
Finds the Struggle Hard.
With a back constantly aching.
With distressing uriaary disorders.
Daily existence is but a stiuggle.
No need to keep it up.
Doan's Kidney Pills will cure you.
Worthington people endorse this
claim.
Wm. Yahn, Clary Addition, Wor
thington, Minn., says: "I used
Doan's Kidney Pills and found thtm
to be exactly as represented. I suffer
ed from backache for years which I
believe was the result of the hard
ships I endured during the war. My
back ached continually and freqqent
ly sharp pains would seize me and
I would be unable to move. When
these paius passed off, there was a
dull aching and a miserable weak
ness in my back. There was altso a
distressing irregularity of the kidney
secretions and 1 lost much rest on
this account. I tried many remedies
but failed to find relief until Doan's
Kianey Pills were procured at F. M.
Hickman's drugstore and I started
using them. They went immediately
to the seat of trouble and in a short
time banished it altogether." (From
statement given Nov. 16th, 1905.)
TIME IS THE TEST.
Oa Oct. 22nd, 1907, Mr. Yahn said:
"I have no reason to retract anything
from the statement I gave in ly05
concerning Doan's Kidney Pills as 1
have suffered no return of the
trouble."

To Remove 'k-Stalns from Wood.
There are two good methods of re
moving ink-stains from wood. (1) Mix
nine ounces of concentrated sulphuric

of water. Scour the stain thoroughly
with water and sand, then pour some
of the mixture upon It and rub unti)
the stain has disappeared. (2) Apply

origin of "Graft."
The word "graft" was probably first
used in this country in connection with
a small canal dug in New York 25ft
years ago. Graft was the Dutch for
canal. Three workmen dug, and a
committee of five citizens was ap
pointed. to see that they earned their
wages.

Climate and Love.
A fc- ~al engagement with all It*
gentle joys is a product of the west
ern world, which accepts no romance
save that of two beings who are
dravsto each other experiencing the
matchless leisure of a mutual affec
tion. North and South it is the same
the only difference is a matter of cli
mate which renders the attachment
racy and rapid or slow in its awaken
ing.

The Trimmer.
I tell you Hick'ry Holler
Is an interested town—
Our milliner. Miss Featherhats,
Has brought a trimmer down!
She got her in the city
Where she went to buy her stock.
And bachelors are hanging
All around the Opry block!
So young and oh, so dashing!
She wears clothes that fit just so!
There's bound to be a feud, or
Two among our village beaux!
Her hats are simply stunning—
So at least the ladies say.
"Won't you help me buy?" asks wlfey»
"I will go," sez hub, "to-day!"
So wifey calls to try 'em
And shy hubby—he goes down
To—get a closer rubber
At the miss from out of town!
The gossips now are busy
With the vetted "I-told-you-so!"
The scandal of her costume
At the dance—'twas far too low!
When fall hat salas are ended
And the maid has left the town,
Then things will sort o' sizzle—
Sort o' stew and sizzle down!
The beaux will wait expectant
For a letter in their name—
But, even odds to Betsy,
It's the one that "never came!"
