was virtually without friends or
money. The death of her father In
Hoatrlce , Neb. , had toft her an orphan.
Her voice obtained for her a position
as a chorus singer in a musical comedy
ody company. Riccardo Martin , the

sing and pronounced her voice to bo
the most wonderful he had over heard.

grand opera managers for a trial.

the Metropolitan opera house , heard
the young girl sing and agreed with
Uiccardo Martin that her voice was
the most marvelous soprano ho hail
over heard , oven exceeding the natura' '
voice of Mine. Melba.

nence hastened to give her aid. SoV'
oral thousand dollars wore contributed
to send her to Europe , whore she is to

dren had had the disease last spring ,

disease , having "pealed off , " and also
having fumigated the premises , they

Coal Famine at' Anoka.
Hoyd County News : Anoka has
suffered more or loss the past week
with a coal famine. Some have tried
|
to burn slack. Krottor's , however ,
got in a car of coal Thursday night
and as the weather has moderated
this will probably satisfy the demand
until a new supply Is received. There
J
is a genera ! suspicion that the rail
roads and mine owners scheme this
shortage every winter for speculative
purposes. The local dealers have had
their orders In for coal for months.
If God so loved the world that Ho
gave His only begotten Son , we will
not believe that lie held the fuel back
for Hner and the likes of him that
the multitude might shiver and freeze
and sicken and die. The mine owners
make a serf of the miners and coupled
with freight rates , those who are com
pelled to purchase this fuel are Im
poverished. No people who permit
this are capable of self-government ,
nor can they lay claim to a fair state
of civilization.
Long Pine Not Quarantined.
Long Pine Journal : We received
a telephone call from Johnstown last
Wednesday asking if Long Pinn was
quarantined. It is certainly not ; as
there are only two cases of scarlet
fever in the town and every pre
caution is being taken to prevent the
disease spreading. As soon as the
first case became known the schools
were closed and all public gatherings
forbidden. The germs were no doubt
carried to Long Pine from Clmdron
as the first case is traced directly
from the railroad. We are glad to
see the ollicors of our town and the
citizens in general co-operating with
eacli other to prevent the disease
spreading. It will be much safer for
us to use some precaution now , as
"an ounce of preventive is worth a
pound of cure. "

MUSTN'T MARRY TILL HE'S 30.
But Mother Believes In Early Mar
riagesWIII ; Help Son In Will.
New York , Jan. 24. The will of the
ate Mathias Strasburgor , prohibiting
ils son , Alfred , from sharing In the
estate if he does not finish college and
f he marries before ho is 30 , is not
so hard on the young man as it seems
for his mother said today that she be
loved in early marriages.
"Tho will provides that my son must
lave the consent of the executors if he
; lcsires to marry before he is 30 , " said
Mrs. Strasburger. "I think young men
should marry early and If my son has
i girl in view I will do the best I can
to get the consent of the executors
so that he will not lose his share in
the estate. "
"If I wanted to marry a girl , " young
Mr. Strasburger said , "I wouldn't let
the money stand betwen us. It is too
personal a question to answer whether
I have the girl In sight. I don't care
to say whether I intend to marry
shortly. "
Newport Ran Out of Coal.
Newport Republican : The coal fa
mine may not have arrived at Newport
on schedule time , but It got here Just
the same. With several cars of coal
delayed In transit for weeks , or con
fiscated by the railroad , the Raines
Lumber company is without any coal
but hard coal In its sheds today. The
situation at other points where the
famine was beginning to pinch has
been relieved and the railroads say
they are giving preference to coal over
freight. Accordingly , the shortage
hero should not last long enough to
cause great Inconvenience. In thlf
and other states whore there is a
shortage the railroads are receiving
the blame. The belief that they properly
porly should is strengthened by the
report of the Geological Survey show
ing an over production of coal In
1909.

a Rival In "Ido. "
Now York , Jan. 2-1. A now universal

In many respect to Volapuk , Esperanto
and other candidates for the position
of univei3nl language.
"The now language , " said Professor
Jesperson at the close of the first lec
ture of u series which ho is delivering
at Coftimblu university , " is not as rich
as English , as eloquent as French , as
powerful as Gorman or as beautiful as
Italian. Hut is is strictly richer than
the Frenchman's English , more elo
quent than the Englishman's French ,
more powerful than the German's Hal-
an and more beautiful than the Hal-
ian's Gorman. It is easier to learn
than any universal language hitherto

at the observatory here of the newly
discovered comet , known to astron
omers as "Comet A , 1910 , " shows that
the unheralded "wanderer" differs
greatly from most comets.
The usual comet spectrum consists
of a bright serfes of hydrocarbon
bands , but the comet now visible
shows light hydrocarbon bands with a
pair of intensely bright sodium lines.
The striking orange color of the comet
head , as observed in various parts of
the country , is said to bo due to incan
descent sodium vapor. The new com
et closely resembles the great comet
of 1882.

scientists as "A 1010 , " were taken at
the Harvard observatory last night.
The comet was a brilliant object in
the western sky .at sunset.
