Heavy Prospective Iron Shipments From

PAVING SUPERIOR STREET
Duluth, South Shore & Atlantic---A Man
III Carries Dynamite Sticks
About.
Spdcial to the Globe

Special to the Globe.
DULUTH, April 24.-GeOrge G. Stone,
OF the Minnesota Iron company, now in
Duluth, says his company will ship
$1,000 tons of ore this summer, and
that the Chandler mine will ship $4,000
tons. 1t is not expected that the Pho
neer and Zenith mines will do as much,
though their owners claim considerable
for them.
DULUTH. SOUTH SHORE & ATLANTIC.
The Duluth, South Shore q Atlantic
promises to have 500 men to work on
the extension to Iron river where they
will make Duluth connection in ten
days. They will use the Northern
and there yet remains twenty-five miles
to be built between Iron river and the
present terminus on the east.
PAVING SUPURIOR STREET.
Chairman Bunnell, of the board of
public works.. says Superior streets
pavement will be cedar blocks on con-
crete bottom, and says work will be be-
gun at once. While work is in progress
on Superior street. Michigan street will
be put in better shape for travel than it
is now.
CHAMBER OF COMMERCE.
The chamber had small meeting this
morning and received number of res
OlutiOnS and letters of minor import
ance. 1t appointed committee to wait
upon the st. Paul Il Duluth railroad
people and urge better train service. A
committee was also appointed to petit
ton the United States postal authorities
for direct mail service between Chicago
and Duluth via Ashland. The boule
ward scheme as proposed by the board
OF public works was also Endorsed.
DYNAMITE STICKS IN HIS POCKET.
Gus Anderson, recently arrested for
drunkenness, had pleasant pocket
piece in the shape of three dynamite
sticks fastened together in package.
When they were examined and he was
asked his purpose in carrying such ma
terial, he said he intended to blow up
his house. He was employed on the
Fourth street rock cut.
ANOTHER NEW BUILDING.
Edward ingalls, began work yesterday
on his new brick building between the
Exchange bank and the Merchants
hotel. 1t will be 50X115 feet and will
cost S35, 900.
The Odd Fellows will celebrate their
fittieth anniversary next Friday even
ing.
The new summer hotel at Spirit Lake
will be turned over to its owners next
Saturday.
The cost of paving Superior street
will be about 100000. Work will begin
in thirty days.
A prominent railroad man said to-day
that it was quite probable that the South
Shore IL Atlantic would be bought by a
New York syndicate, and the road then
extended from Duluth into the Red
River valley.
r Person with money to invest will do well
to turn their attention to Duluth and Super

a mailman could be punished, as
he should be, as we'll as the man who
commits the crime. A legislature has
not the right to barter away the public
health and morals, but that is what it
does when it licenses the saloons, where
crime, disease and immortality are
reared. How would you like it if IL
censes were granted for Sabbath
breaking? Yet the stand taken by
many ministers is just about as
sensible as the above proposition. is
high license, at its best, anything but
free rum? We can get beer OF cham
payne in any part of the city by simply
going to the telephone, and despite our
patrol limits the grocery wagon brings
the daily poison about as often to some
houses as it does groceries. There
are only two sides to this great ques
ton. If you are in favor of the saloons,
vote for licensing them; if you are not,
join the Prohibition party and work to
suppress them. This is struggle be-
tween good angels and the demons of
hell, so beware upon which side you
place Yourself.

TOUGH ON THE DOGS.
A Great Scheme Worked by Mic.
OIlet House Clerk

John O'Brien, clerk at the Nicollet
house, in order to get proper amount
of exercise, has taken to riding horse
back in the morning. A few days ago
he complained to friend that he could
take no comfort in riding, as every dog
he met ran out and barked at the horse.
The matter was discussed calmly and in
anything but a bloodthirsty manner.
Yesterday morning he started out to
ride again. He carried with him a
heavy block of wood, about the size
of baseball, firmly attached to long
elastic cord. In answer to all inquiries
the daring equestrian replied: "Just
wait until | try it, and then 1 will tell
you what it is" While cantering along
Seventh street big dog rushed at the
horse. The hotel man rose in his sad
die, anG grasping the block of wood, let
drive at the dog. The ball struck the
dog and knocked him senseless. Mr..
