This issue of the MINER is being
edited by the teachers of School
District No. II. The benefits to
be derived from such an issue are
manifold. 1t places the teachers
in closer touch with the parents

The articles contained in this
edition are meritous and show

future the scholars will be given
an opportunity in the literary line
and no doubt will fill their part of
the contract. We are always will
ling to devote the columns of this

one and all, and trust this will not
be the last time it shall be our
pleasure to furnish our readers
with the high grade contributions
with which this issue is filled.
The Duluth dailies have been
raising a considerable howl over
the exorbitant passenger and
freight rates charged by the range
railroads. Nowtwhile it is a fact
that the rates are little high, we
nevertheless do not feel as if it
would be wise to dictate to any
one the manner in which to run
his own business. In the pre-
sumption made by the Duluth
papers that lower passenger rates
would bring much letail trade to
Duluth merchants, we are of the
opinion they are looking for bust
ness which does not belong to
them. They should be content
with the wholesale trade, which
they now control, and give the
merchants along the lines of rail
road q chance to do business.

A Distinguished Woman in the Field
Of Letters.
LONDON, July 2O.-Miss Jean Inge-
low, the distinguished poet and novel
ist, died in London last night. She
was in her seventy seventh year.
Jean Ingelow, the daughter of William In
gelow, was born at Boston, Lincolnshire,
England, in 1880. Her father was banker
and her mother was OF Covenanter descent
She was SO years old before her first book
appeared and it made such an impression

Poems H Jean Ingelow'' appeared at an
opportune time to attract attention. Tennyson
had been silent for a long time, and the nov
city had worn off Longfei1ow's Iales OF g
Wayside Inn" Her poems even ranked next
to Longfellows and above Tennysons at that
time. The English-speaking world was espe-
cially captivated by '.High Tide on the Coast
of Lincolnshire" ballad cast in strange
and tender and exquisite in its turn OF phrase
that there was never, a word for It's deiects.
Her second volume of poems entltlea "A
Story of DOOM followed in 1867. ana ner
third in 1885, In addition to her poems she
has written various prose works for cnllurei,;
and four novels. Her ''Songs OF seven,
Divided and "Laurance'' are supposed TO
be autobiographcal. Many of her verses were
set to music Among these Is "oh, Fair

Fairy" was a phantasy that attracted mucn to
attention. Then followed her first mover, oI

SAN ANTONIO, Tex, July 20.-Camp Gull
berson, with it's 1600 tents and 8, 500 soldiers,
presented a panorama of brilliant scenes
from dawn until midnight tonight. In the
forenoon the state troops drilled by COM
panies, regiments and brigades for the prizes
offered by the state. Capt. L. C.. Bates,
U. S. A., delivered lecture before the COM
misisoned officers at guard mount. In the
afternoon the Seely Rifles, of Galveston, and
the Lloyd Rifles drilled for the interstate
championship. The Lloyds put up a ragged
drill and are out of the race The Seelys,
however, drilled faultlessly, and unofficial
critics noticed only five individual errors,
and as far as known no captain or company
errors were made. The company was steady,
both in the manual and field evolutions, and
moved like clockwork. Their drill is con-
ceded to be better than that of the Thurston
Rifles yesterday. Gov. Culberson arrived in
camp today and with Brig. Gen. Graham,
reviewed all the troops this afternoon. Com

rapidly rising in the estimation of military
men, and many state they would not be sur
prised to seed Capt. Beans company walk off

Evening Paper'g Sensation About

Evening PaperH sensation About
Iowa Insurance Companies.
Something of a sensation was pre-
cipitated in insurance circles yester-
day by the publication in an evening
paper of the fact that Attorney Gen
eral Childs had held that this state
had no right to retaliate against Iowa
insurance companies merely because
the Iowa insurance commissioner had
barred out the Bankers Life company
of this state. The publication, which
was given sensational prominence, was
evidently more hasty than accurate,
for it's citations from the opinion given
by the attorney general were confined
largely to clauses which were given in
qualification, rather than in matters
of the principal. The tenor of the
opinion originally given by Attorney
General Childs was in brief that, in
the absence of a direct retaliatory pro-
vision in the Minnesota law, ethe rul-
ing of the attorney general of Iowa,
that the action of the insurance de-
partment there was right, should be
respected until it was overturned by
the courts. In this view of the case,
it was suggested that it would be

ment of Minnesota to await the de-
velopments of possible action to be
