The nucleus OF an organization which
promises to be OF very much benefit TO
the members during the ensuing political
campaign, was formed at the Office of
Justice Curtis last evening, when the
monetary club was organized. About
two dozen interested citizens were pres
ent and all manifested desire to see the
movement pushed along.
Attorney W. j. Mcdonald was chair-
man and Attorney A. W. Kerr secretary
OF the meeting. The chair explained that
at previous meeting a committee had
been appointed TO draft constitution
and bylaws. Attorney o. j. Larson re-
ported for the committee, and with some
alterations the constitution and bv.
laws OF the monetary club were adopted
article by article. The election of officers
was next in order and the following we're
elected TO serve until the November cleo
ton:
President-W. j. Mcdonald.
Vice-President-J W. Downing.
secretary-A. w. Kerr
Treasurer-N. B Vivian.
Marshall. J Vickstrom.
The char appointed a program com
mlttee, consisting Of Attorney T.. +. Le-
Gendre and Messrs William Anderson
and NJ. j. Culnan, to serve for the first
month.
The next meeting will probably be held
on Monday evening in the Calumet
School Hall. The only requirements for
membership are TO be over Il years of
age, and to sign the constitution and
pay the initiation fee OF 80 cents. The
club IL strictly non-partisan, and every
effort will be made to keep it 30. Its oh.
ject is to enlighten It's members on the
monetary question only.

WhOC Can Answer This

Two OF our prominent citizens have
made bet and have applied to the NEWS
to decide it. A says that when the Calu-
met mine was first opened some OF the
rock was taken to the Boston & Albany
stamp mill to be treated. b says it was
not, but was taken to the Pewabic
stamp mill. The editor recollects that
much OF the rock was hauled to the smelt-
ing works and aiterward, az he thinks
to the Hancock stamps, but cannot say
whether any was hauled to the Boston &
Albany.

Justice Fishers court was the scene of
an unusually interesting case yesterday
afternoon when the case of the People VS.
Alexander G. Murray for assault and
battery came up. The complaint
against Murray was made by his father
in-law, Alex Martin, and the assault was
alleged to have been committed on the
defendants wife.
The case was tried by the justice and
the people we're represented by Attorney
Kerr. Four witnesses, including the
three persons directly interested and A. p.
Barnes, a sewing machine agent, were
examined, the gist of the testimony tend
ing TO show that the defendant was
guilty OF the charge preferred. Mr.. Mar
tin, the complaining witness, created un-
usual excitement when he made his state
ment and upheld his reputation which
was established at previous cases in
court as student OF Blackstone OF more
than ordinary ability. Murray was ad-
judged guilty and his honor imposed a
fine OF $50 and costs or thirty days in
the quietude OF the county Jail at Hough-
ton. At present the fine is unpaid.
