of an elderly pleasure tourist, last August, and

A Fearful Fall.

Two subcontractors at work IRON
ing elevators d. and L. at Duluth,
while at work on swinging scatfold,
fell to the dock below distance of 80
feet Friday of last week and received
injuries which resulted in death in an
hour or two. Their names were S. NJ.
Turnel and Angus NJ Johnson. The
Tribute says;
Turner was the first to die, about
five minutes after the hospital was
reached, and he was carried into the
chape, which is at present used as a
death room. An examination shows
that his Injuries consisted of a broken
neck, left arm broken at the wrist and
elbow, right arm broken at the wrist
and above the shoulder, and both legs
broken intwo places. He was also
hurt internally, as was clearly shown
by the blood which freely flowed from
his mouth Turner was about twenty
five years of age and has been resi-
dent of Duluth about two years. He
was married one year ago and is the
father Of one child.
Angus " Johnson, the other vic
tim, livel for fully one hour after
reaching he hospital and was con-
scious mos. of the time. He had both
legs broke, the right in two places,
both arms broken in two places, and
was also hurt internal. Johnson was
Il resident Of Crookston, and had been
in Duluth about one year. He was
about tventy-one years Of age. Ac-
cording % letters found in his pocket
he was engaged to be married to a
young lady whose name we have fail
ed to Learn She was undoubtedly
employed in the Sherman house, for
she used the stationery Of that house,

Now Let uS Have Peace.

Now that we have got through with
politics, let Us all turn our attention to
the building of that new hotel, the
new dock, framing the new city char
ter, and the many other things that
are of vital Importance to our growing
city, and all of which have been sadly
neglected the past few weeks. We
would like to see a full meeting of the
Chamber of Commerce next Wednes-
day evening, and hear reports from
these various enterprises. These at
least, are matters in which we should
all be united and of one mind.

DOuKlas County Republican.
For the first time in its history,

For the first time in its history, if
we mistake not, Douglas County went
Republican, politically speaking Our
Democratic friends had been reading
the handwriting on the wall for some
time previous to the election. and had
put forth herculean efforts, leaving
no stone unturned, nor plan to catch
votes untried, to keep Douglas coun-
~ in the Democratic column. On the
other hand the Republicans though less
demonstrative were none the less earn
est in their work, and fully determin
ed that the county should be placed
in the Republican column of figures
when the State footings were made,
and the result of Tuesday proved that
they had not worked in vain nor
counted noses by guess work. The
vote was the largest cast here in many
years, if it was ever SO large before,
the count showing 525, which was pro-
badly about fifty short of full vote
OF these Blaine got 275, Cleveland
249, St. John /, pluality majority
for Blaine of 26. On Governor, Rusk
got 279, Fratt 245, Hastings 1, the
average majority for the Republican
State ticket being about 81. \ very
bitter warfare was waged against Mr.
w. T. Price for Congressman, and
the best that could be done was to
give that gentleman a majority of Ii.
Mr.. Mason for State Senator had 81,
and Mr.. Taylor for Assemblyman,
80 majority. Three Democratic tick
cts with Republican headings, were
found in the ballot box, and while the
tally WAS given to the Democrats the
votes should in all honesty have been
credited to the other side as they were
evidently supposed to be republican
ballots, and might fairly be added to
the above majorities, but as the law
declares otherwise, the Judges Of course
could but give them to the Democracy.
1t is not necessary to here recount
the list of candidates and the vote Civ
en- for each, as regards county matters
The list Of candidates was large and
the vote In most cases very well divid-
ed, all of which will appear in the of
fetal table, which will be given next
week, rs we could not get it in time to
put in type this week. The ticket,
clear through, that took a majority of
the persimmons last Tuesday is rs

AuOtAer Material for Paper.

For several months past machine
has been Under construction at Glen's
Falls, \. Y, for the manufacture Of
paper from sawdust and other refuse
from sawnills. An experimental ma
chine was completed some time ago
which converted driftwood, sawdust,
bits of lah, shavings, etc, into pulp in
Il very short time. the product being
equal to any pull p manufactured. The
working of the experimental ma
chine was so satisfactory that the in
ventor found no difficulty in interest
ing othels in the inyention. The ma
chine completed Is cylindrical in shape
and stan(s on one end, 1t is fourteen
feet and wo inches in diameter in the
clear. The gearing is on the top of
the cylinler-1 600 pounds being the
charge-,nd it is reduced to pulp by
rollers travelling around the inner sur
face of the cylinder, the principal be-
ing the same rs wagon rolling over
plank road or the chewing Of bit of
wood. These rollers are 200 in num-
Der. and, attached to the shaft, hung
Oh to what Is known as a step at the
top Of the machine, the rollers, shafts,
etc, making total of 10000 pounds
hanging from this step. The entire
machine weighs 6S, 2OOpounds, fifteen
horse power will operate the mill, and
the steam pressure required is from
sixty to eighty pounds. The pulp has
a fine lorg fiber. The patentee has an
apparatus for bleaching the pulp. The
product clcansed automatically as
it leaves the machine, and is carried
to the bleacher, where it is rendered
as white as snow at an expense not eX-
ceeding fifty cents a ton.-San Fran

The introduction to description OF
a collection of birds from Yucatan
(Proc. Roy. FOOL Soc. 1889 contains
some interesting facts about the country
itself. From the end of February to
near the end of May no rain falls, but
from the latter date the rains commence
and increase until October. Merida,
the capital, is a large village situated in
q forest of shady trees, which with care
have grown quite large. Rio Lagartos
is seaport at the mouth of an arm of
the sea, into which open innumerable
springs or subterranean rivers; but it
cannot be called a river. The water is
salt, and it is bordered by extensive
marshes, the home of thousands of
flamingoes and swarms of sea birds
The excavations called aguadas, which
are very deep, are said to be natural,
but M. Boncard believes that many of
them are artificial, the work of the
ancient Mapa race. They are usually
circular, but there is evidence that they
were originally quadrilateral. To these
aguadas immense numbers of quadru-
peds and birds repair in the dry season.
