Navigation Open apd Lake Boats on
the Move.
A SLICK ONE LOCKED UP.
Duluth Isn't Pleased With the Inspec-
ton of Beef on the
H00f.

DULUTH, April 20.-NavigatiOn is
open. The Osceola, Capt. Zealand,
reached the entry to Duluth harbor at
1O'clock this morning, but lay there
until 5 o'clock, when she steamed along
side the Northern Pacific dock and tied
up. The Osceola belongs to the North
western Transportation company's line,
Harry Hurdon, agent, and left Port
Huron, Mich, on Sunday last, the 18th,
loaded with salt and merchandise, in
Guiding about 200 cases of champagne
consigned to st. Paul. Agent Hurdon
says the vessel experienced no difficulty
with ice except at Whitefish Point,
where she was delayed less than two
hours, and that from this on there can
be no trouble in making regular trips,
at least so far as ice is concerned. The
OSceOla will clear tomorrow morning
with full cargo of flour.
MARINE NOTES.
The United Empire, of the Beatty
line, will clear Sarnia on Tuesday for
Duluth, reaching here probably Friday
night or Saturday morning.
The ]. L. Hurd, of the Transit line,
cleared to-day for Hancock, nominally
light.
T.J. Nicol, of the Ward line, is in
Hancock.
The Liken. Pathfinder and Cheney
followed the OSceOla, but did not reach
port until evening.
Four cents is offered at Buffalo for
Lake Superior tonnage.
The OSsifrage cleared for Port Arthur
last evening, and Will hereafter make
regular trips.
Capt. Alex Wood. of the Wilson line,
was in Marquette and Ashland during
the week.
LONG IN THE Tolls.
Some weeks ago j A. Long, in Jail
charged with going through the st.
Louis and Merchants hotels, knocked
Jailer Hall down with a poker and,
after belaboring him into inSenSibility.
made his escape. For time it was
given out that the fellow had gone
West, and several kilograms were re-
ceived from Spokane Falls and other
places recounting his escapades III that
region. Authorities here. however,
took little stock in his Western trip,
and kept their eyes to the East. and the
sequel shows, not without good effect
About ten days ago word was received
here that Long had been caught
in Columbus, O.. where he had
worked" hotels in the same
matter was kept quiet, and Deputy
Sheriff Armstrong secured the neceS-
sary paTers and started for Columbus,
where he found his man, and will reach
home Monday with the prisoner. Long
is tough citizen and sharp as they
make them. but Detective Benson had
previously furnished Columbus author
tiles with such correct detail of his man
ner of working, and also his photo
graph, that but little difficulty was eX-
perienced in identifying the man
through his manner of playing his
tricks. Jailer Hall has fully recovered
from his terrible beating, but another
officer is in his place, and it is not
thought likely that Long will be given
much of a show to escape again.
ITS PRACTICAL WORKING,
without assuming to know much of the
'theory" of Senator Scheffer's meat
bill, Duluth knows she is getting a
paying more money for it by about 215
cents, per pound. Beef cannot be
brought here, slaughtered and placed
OH the market for the old price, at least,
so claim the local wholesale dealers
who yesterday decided upon the adj
vance indicated. If the measure has
any redeeming features the average
Duluthian would like to be informed as
to their nature, so that he may go 215
cents deeper into his pockets with the
satisfaction of knowing it is in a good
cause.
LITTLE BITS.
The building of the new union depot is
