DULUTH, Jan. 26.-It is now assured
that Col. Glenn will remove from Min
neapolis to Duluth. locating his shops
at the West end, and that d. III. Merritt
will remove his heavy mine machinery
works from Marquette, and place them
at the East end, or Lester river.
These two enterprises alone represent
a capital of upwards of half million
dollars, and give the assurance of en-
ployment to 500 men the year round.
Add to these the fact that tanneries and
shoe factories are certainly booked for
Duluth as soon as preliminaries can be
arranged, land the further fact that stove
works, hardwood factory and half a
score other smaller Industries are al
ready in course of erection, and it re-
quires no stretch of imagination OF play
upon words to see an active season for
the head of the lake. To the prayerful
consideration of which the earnest at
tention of Senator-elect Washburn is
directed.
NO DULUTHIANS THERE.
Duluth is in no pleasant frame Of
mind-that is, its Republican element
is not. You may search up and down
UoY' MERRIAM HSG " APPOINTMENTS,
and in and out of it, but you find no
name familiar to Duluth: which is the
cause of more spoken and unspOken
wrath than has been known here for
many day. Notwithstanding the fact
that the GLOBE correspondent told the 4
Duluth Republican that his fgurative
name was Dennis, he clung to the hope
and apparent belief that the gov
ernor would be as good as his
word and give some one from
here place on the railroad commission.
He is now prepared to admit that the
GLOBE had the situation sized up bout
right, but it does not lessen his wrath.
He points back two years, and says
luth, and, failing to fulfill his promise,
he was let down with one term. Gov.
Merriam is told plainly that he need ex-
pect nothing in future from this neck O.
the woods, and is invited to do his
worst.
Capt. Thomas Fl. Pressnell was of
fered place as trustee of the soldiers
home as the solitary recognition of Du-
nth. He does not want to accept, and
probably will not.
THE WARD POLITICIAN.
In little over two weeks Occnrs the
city election, and, true to his instinct,
deadly work. The nomination for city
comptroller by the Republicans will
probably go to Mr.. Ten Brock with
little or no opposition, while Paige Nor
riS seems equally as sure of receiving
the nomination for municipal judges and
Attorney Davis that OF special judge.
Though there is some effort being made
to displace City Treasurer Voss, it now
looks as though no nomination would be
made for this place against him. In the
wards it is hard to keep track of the
candidates. For the First, Asa

PECULIAR ALL AROUND. Ef
The jury in the case of t. F. Howard,
| of Sioux City, brought here on a
requisition and charged with grand
larcency, found the defendant guilty
according to the Indictment. The
verdict was great surprise to the
prosecution, defense and every one ex-
cept the jury. The prisoner is man of
high standing at his home. The deed
which Howard gave Cummings called
wards sent this deed on for some pur-
pose and was notified of clerical error
1t should have been section SO. That is
where the trouble Games in. No one
knows who OWNS section SO. It comes
under the Iowa Central land grant,
and the railway has obtained
patent on it, but the land was
homestead and lived on for nineteen
years. The settler proved up on it but
has not obtained patent Towards
title comes through a quit claim from
the settler. Testimony was introduced
to show that this was considered good
title in Sioux City. as the Illinois Cen
trails grant provided that land home
stead should go to the settler, and the
railway was given indemnity. This
part of the case has been in the Iowa
courts some years. W. w. Bilker, for
defendant, claimed 1t was a sort of
jack-knife trade, anyway, as Cummings
land was out in the woods twenty miles
