We are quite convinced that the
people of Bloomsbury fully appreciate
not only the beauty of the place and
its surroundings, but also its unsur-
passed adaptability to the development
and success of all modern forms of
industries. But we have considerable
doubt whether they have acquainted
themselves with the several and separ-
ate plants-as the word is now used,
in and around which the industries are
developed. Railways and sidings and
switches are reaching everywhere,
and the hauling and receiving and
transporting of manufactured articles
and raw material is constantly going
forward.
A visit to the Brick Mandatory of
VIM. Ferguson is one of the curiosi,
ties of the town. Driven by steam,
every brick made by the action of
machinery and exact and perfect as to
material and size, carried and dried
and not handled unevenly, they are
models. He can make $4,000 a day,
and he has made million this season,
and all sold, and orders ahead for
months. The plant is worth going to
see, and an hour spent in the ex-
animation of the process will give the
visitor several new ideas.

Harvey Jones of Espy was shot by
his son Charles last Friday night by
mistake. Charles had been attending
lodge and when he returned home the
family had retired. Soon after he
entered noise was heard on the roof,
and supposing it was a burglar his
father called to Charles, who told
them to remain in bed until he got
his gun. Mr.. Jones got up and went
into Charles room and the latter re-
turning, heard the noise in there and
supposing it was the burglars, he fired,
shooting his father in the thigh. The
wound is not dangerous.

AS Mr.. and Mrs. +. D. Dentler
were driving down the Light Street
road above town on Sunday evening,
hold-back strap broke, letting the
buggy against the horse, and starting
it on run down the hill. When Mr..
Dentler pulled on the reins it brought
the buggy on the horse and so kept
it going. On reaching Penn Street
he turned the horse up there, but the
curve was too short, and the buggy
was upset, throwing both occupants
out, but fortunately not injuring them.
Mr.. Dentler was little lame next
day, but is all right again now.

the largest shows in existence, one an

ton. In 1890 jointure was made
OF Robt. Sands great American circus
and menagerie with Herbert Astley's
grand English circus, hippodrome,
menagerie, museum and curio expo
sition. The compact was made in
the city of London, and after touring
England, Ireland, and Scotland the
united amusement venture crossed
over to the continent and exhibited in
France. Belgium, Switzerland, Holland,
Germany, Russia, Turkey, Algiers,
Egypt, China, Japan, the Sandwich
Islands and is now touring the United
States prior to visiting Central Ameri-

There is no show in past or present,
that has travelled as many thousand
miles, exhibited to such myriads of
people or that has won more exalted
and enviable reputation.

RUSSIA AND CoREA.

England jealousy Watches Developments
In tho East.
London, Oct. 26.The dispatch from
Shanghai Thursday afternoon, an
nouncing the departure of feet Of nine
teen Russian Warships from Vladivo-
stock for Chemulpo and Fusan, Corea,
and the Times dispatch from Hong
Kong, announcing that Russia has OBJ
tanned the right to anchor her fleet at
the Liao-Tung peninsula, have caused
intense excitement in official circles
here as well as in those having com
mercial relations with the far east.
These most important statements are
looked upon generally as being sud-
den reopening in an unexpected quarter
of the far eastern question in it's widest
sense.
The Shanghai dispatc added that the
japanese feet in Formosa waters had
been recalled, that several British war
ships had been ordered to Corea and
that preparations for struggle were
visible on all sides. The Hong Kong
cable message to the Times caused that
paper to remark, editorially, Friday:
Russia cannot possibly imagine that the
great powers will view with indifference
such a destruction OF the balance Of power,
which is almost unparalleled in its audac-
.ity. China's option to purchase the rail-
ways is q Jest almost too cynical to find q
place in any serious diplomatic transact
ton. Under the indicated conditions Man
churfa would practically become Rus
sian province, while Picking would be with
in Russia's grip

THE MINNESOTA IRON MINES.
Money Stm Being Poured In for tho De-
velopment.

A recent article in the Pioneer Press
throws a new light upon the iron in
dustry of Minnesota When the dis
coveries on the Mesaba Range were
made some three years ago, hundreds
went wild over the prospect of imme-
diate wealth by investing $50 in state
lease. Tho sequel shows that only
with immense capital and indomitable
pluck can the iron mines be made profit
ably productive. It was only because
j.. D. Rockefeller was induced to take
hold Of the properties on the Mesaba
Range in 1898 that great financial dis
aster was averted. Under the stimu-
lus Of Mr.. Rockefeller's capital, the
Lake Superior Consolidated Mining
Company was formed, and the work
continued, employing hundreds of men
when nearly every industry in the
country was absolutely stagnant. Up
to this date not dollar has been paid
in dividends on the Consolidated stock,
and much new capital is still being re-
CURED for the development.
1t is said by those close to headquar-
tiers that the Rockefeller interest, for
instance, so far from deriving profit
from the Consolidated mines, of which
they are large owners, have actually
advanced about a million and half to
the mines during the present season.
