When you call at the Office for your

ask him if that is all.

tells you there is none, tell him there
ought to be, then go home and send
the rest of the family around to ask
at different times during the day.

Land Decisions

The United States land Office OF
Duluth is in receipt OF decision
from the general land office at Wash
ington in the case entitled Emma
Swanson vs.. John Polzin, involving
land in 1854. The decision OF the
register and receiver Of the Duluth
office is confirmed and Polzin's entry
is held for cancellation.
Secretary Smith today denied the
motion for a rehearing filed by
Pettiiohn in the case of Hugh P.
Strong against Philander Pettijohn,
Z. B. Hoover. the Consolidated Yer
million Iron and Land company, D. J..
Sinclair, George w. Buck, and
Nathaniel N. Belts and William
Little, involving quarter section in
the Duluth district. The contest of
Strong was sustained by former de-
cision of the secretary on the ground
that Pettijohn, who located the land
in controversy with Sioux halfbreed
scrip, issued to T. B. Hoover, had not
prior to the location of said scrip on
the land. made any Improvements
thereon, nor had any one authorized
by him, with his knowledge or con-
sent. The secretary denies the
motion on the ground that no new
facts are presented and all the
questions involved were fully dis
cussed in the previous decision.
Commissioner Lamoreux, of the
general land office, yesterday affixed
his signature to a decision denying
the right of the state of Minnesota to
the swamp lands shown by the sur
veys Of the ceded portions of the Red
Lake and White Earth reservations.
The decision is in the form of letter
to the secretary of the interior, and
and was brought out by demand
recently made by Governor Clough
for the lands.

ODDS AND ENDS.

Here is little political scripture
which should be committed to men,
ory now that election time draweth
on apace: 1.-The politician is my
sheperd, shall not want for any
thing during the campaign. He
leadeth me into the saloon for my
votes sake. He tilleth my pockets
with cigars and my glass runneth
over. He inquireth concerning the
health of my family even unto the
fourth generation. Yea. though l
walk through the mud and the rain
to vote for him and shout myself
hoarse, when he is elected he straight
way forgetteth me. Yea, though 1
meet him in his own Office he knoweth
me not. Surely the wool hath been
pulled over my eyes all the days of
my life"

THE CITY'S HEALTH.

State.

| State.
| DR.. III. f. Wunder, health officer
for the city of Ely has given the
MINER representative few facts re-
garding the births and deaths of this
city during the year 1895. The sta
tistics regarding birth are by several
degrees more interesting than the
deaths during the year. In all there
were 1l2 births recorded in 1895, four
Of which were twins, 6 females and
males. In all there were born lie
children, 81 females and IS males.
or the 116, 3S were of Finnish ex-
traction, % Austrian, II English, 13
Scandinavian, I United states. Can
adian, Italian, 8 German, Polish
and . Irish. The twins make up the
difference in the nationalities, in all
making lie children in LIZ births.
During the year ending Dec. 81,
1895, there were deaths in the city
amounting to 81, four of which were
directly caused by accident in the
Chandler and Pioneer mines, as fol-
lows: May 8, Anton Tomajin, an
Austrian aged 80 met his death by
falling down a shaft at the Chandler.
May Il, Peter Kurn was fatally in
jured by blast at the Chandler.
June Is. John Bojic, Austrian, aged
A, killed by falling rock from skip
while employed on underground work
at Chandler October l. Frank Ster-
not, Austrian, aged 81. met his death
by falling down shaft at Pioneer
mine. December 9, Paul Mukanc,
Austrian, aged 81, fell off cage while
in process of being raised from shaft
at Pioneer mine and was picked up
dead in bottom Of shaft.
The general health Of the city has
been very good, only u deaths occur
ing during the year from general
diseases and causes. Considering,
the city Of Ely has a population of
nearly 1900 souls this is good show
ing and speaks well for the efficient
board Of health and physicians con-
nected with the city's growth. We
are OF the opinion that not another
city in the state can show such a
slight mortality for such population.
