opportunity to speak. He said that
as he understood the questions in
volved to be purely legal ones there
was nothing he desired to say, except
to state that Mr.. Bowling, who had
been chairman Of the meeting at
which it had been decided to ask for
an election, had told him that the
idea of attempting to include the
mines had been giving up, that Pc
tition was being circulated for the
incorporation of only that terri
tory included in the village of Eveleth,
and that there was no sentiment fp
favor of pushing the matter at the
present time.

No City for Eveleth.

The county commissioners at Fri
days meeting passed resolution
denying the petition OF the village of
Eveleth to become city. The min
ing companies included in the limits
opposed the measure. T. j. Davis
appeared in behalf of the mining
interests, and discussed the petition
at some length, arguing that in sew
eral particulars it was faulty and that
an election called in pursuance with
it would be illegally called. Among
other things he held that on some
subdivisions that it was asked TO have
included in the city none of those
whose names appeared on the petition
were resident; that the number of
names on the petition latter remov-
ing 81 persons that had asked to with
draw their support on the ground
that they had not understood fully
the terms Of the petition when they
had signed it, was not equal to the
percentage of the voters of the terri
tory that the law requires upon a
petition of this kind; and that there
was no system whereby the exact
number of votes cast in the territory
asked to be included In the corpora
tion could be figured out.

Representative Schmidt introduced
three bills of especial interest to the
northern part of the state today, the
most important being H. f. No. %,
providing for the giving and enforc-
ing OF lien for labor and services
performed upon logs and timber cut
in other states and transported into
the state of Minnesota. 1t provides
that in such cases "any person or
persons, company or corporation that
shall have performed labor or services
upon such logs, railroad cross ties,
telegraph or telephone poles. piling OF
timber were cut, or in transporting
the same into the state of Minnesota,
for which services he or they would
have been entitled to lien upon such
logs or timber if such labor or services
had been performed in the state of
Minnesota, shall have lien upon
such logs, railroad cross ties. telegraph
or telephone poles, piling or timber to
the same extent and with the same
effect that such person or persons,
company or corporation would have
been entitled to such lien if such
labor or service had been performed
in this state.

murder in the first degree, was i'll and

Yeso, one of the northernmost Of the
japanese group. The facts which the re-
port furnishes are those learned by A. M.
Klabukowski, an explorer and delegate
Of the society, who has recently returned
from visit to the strange people de-
scribed.
The existence Of the Amos, as the race
10 which these women belong is called,
has long been known to ethnologists, but
M. Klabukowsh has the honor Of being
the first explorer of modern times to
penetrate the country and look upon 1t
and its people with the keen eye Of the
ethnologist. He II believed to be the
only white man who has gained full in
formation concerning the women whose
mustachss are equal to those ever worn
by any member Of their race.
The explorer reports that these women
arc massive in appearance, and, In fact,
appear to better physical advantage than
the man. They have high cheek bones
and are distinctly Caucasian. They do
not have that CHASTITY yellowish complex
ION characteristic Of the Chinese and
japanese, but rather bear every ap-
pearance Of white women who have lived

ends. M. Kabulowski says they remind
cd him much Of the fashion of the NOUS
tachios affected by Emperor William Of
Germany.
It was at Muroran, one Of the ports of
the island Of Yeso, that M. Kla bukowsh
encountered the Amos. Muroran Is an

The cause of all this is, according to
the traveller, the invincible repugnance
of the Japanese to the cold climate.
1t is a matter for astonishment that
Northern Japan and it's moustached wo-
men are 80 little known by us and that
lii is forsaken by the Japanese them
selves. In M. Klabukowskfs journey
northward he noted with surprise the
state of abandonment more and more
complete, of a rich and fertile soil. The
Japanese are a Southern people.
The north suffers from rigorous win
ters which the wooden houses. all of SIM
liar type, cannot give sufficient protec-
ton against. The attire of the inhabi-
tants is suitable only for a sunny cli-
mate and for extremes only of heat and
humidity.

the northern part of the great island of
Nippon, the isle of Yeso, which is as
beautiful and fertile as Ireland, without
having it's unsupportable humidity. 1t
is for these reasons that the city of Aoo-
mort in the extreme northern part of the
island of Nippon, which, from it's geo.
graphical position, its climate and its
traffic, has come to be considerable

coming from Asia to America and vice

While all authorities agree that the
Amos as stated, are the aboriginal in
habitants of the islands which now con-
stitute the empire of Japan, there is
much doubt as to just where they them
selves came from. The generally ac-
cepted theory, however, is that they are
descendants of the country now known
as Russia, although their advent to the
now Japanese islands took place before
the beginning of the Christian era. Once
they were great and powerful, even
though the name they bear, "Aino," sig
nifies dogs Today they are fast

that their women wear mustaches.

one of the women passes the age of four
teen with no trace of a moustache ap-
pearing, her parents take it for granted
that Nature has tabood ber so far as
moustaches are concerned and proceed
to supply the defect, in appearance, at
least, by the aid of tattooing. The skill
which these people possess if initiating
the moustache by these means is re-
markable. Indeed at distance 1t is
almost impossible to tell whether or not
the moustache is genuine or imitation.

scoffed at the idea of quinine being the

experiments however, seem to prove
that the hitherto accepted belief of
these gentlemen is incorrect. 1t has been
decided that each clinical type of the
disease, the tertian, the quartau and the
estivo-autumnal, depends upon a par
ticular species.
Irregular cases are supposed to be due
to the invasion of the body by more than
one variety at time. If DR.. Manson IS
