The railroad boys in the yard en-
joyed a vacation Monday and spent
the time in amusing themselves, some
on the lakes and others in other
sports. Nels Hillman took days
practice on his wheel, while AL. Wat
fson, Jos. Hales, "Fatty'' and En-
gineer Shea, spent a pleasant day
sailing on Shagawa.
All our local base ballists assembled
on the diamond Sunday and enjoyed
a few hours with the sphere. Batting
flies and chasing balls was about all
the indulgencies partaken off, the
usual umpire not being present to
give the boys a chance to roast him to
a turn.
Mr.. A. A. Snyder, Supt. Poor Farm,
Winnesheik Co., Ia, says:-Last
winter Mr.. Robert Leach used two
boxes of DeWitt's Witch Hazel Salve
and cured large running sore on his
leg. Had been under care of physi-
clan for months with out obtaining
relief. Sure cure for Piles.
Miss Julia Furtney, of Virginia, is
in Ely making arrangements with
good success for the establishment of
a musical class in THIS city. Miss
Furtney has an enviable reputation as
a musician both instrumental and
vocal and many will be pleased to hear
that she has decided to visit Ely
weekly.
Many of the members of the Catholic
church in this city, intend to go to
Tower Sunday where Bishop Nc
GOlorick will confirm class of nearly
a hundred, including about 80 from
this city. No doubt they can make
arrangements to go down on the
special leaving here in the morning
for the base ball game and return on
the same train in the evening.
AT recent church sociable held in
neighboring town, the young people
sang an interesting if not exactly an
instructive song that electrified some
of the more sedate ones present.
That there was some suggestiveness
in it is true, but when the last line is
concluded the real meaning is suppos-
ed to- take the curse away. The song
ran: 81 feel like he'll II feel like
he'll" Il feel like helping some poor
sinner along" s''''' E - ~.

S1.25 is the vessel rate now being
paid on ton of iron ore between Du-
NTH and Ohio ports: The Cleveland
Plaindealer states that the S125 rate
was paid first by a broker who had
taken block of 10000 tons of ore to
be moved from Duluth to Ohio ports
lduring the next few weeks at that
figure. He succeeded in chartering
about fifteen vessels or enough to
move the ore and he also succeeded in
getting about all the tonnage that
was to be had, so that when regular
shippers came to the market they had
to pay the rate paid by him.
| Henry W. Oliver, the PiBtsburg iron
man, emphatically denies, his reported
connection with any company to build
a new ore road from Dulnth to the
Mesaha iron ore range, where he has

so faE,as he was concerned there was
not a single word of truth in the
