Giacomo Varda returned home last
night, the grand jury having failed
to indict him, This gives him fair
notice that any time he gets into a

that Fernando never insulted Mrs.

Wanamaker, one of the most success
full merchants in this country, has
repeatedly said that he owes his sue
cess to newspaper advertising and
that he has never employed TO any
considerable extent any other kind.
A San Francisco paper tested the
value of bill board advertising by in
terviewing a large number of people
who passed daily certain localities
where bill board advertising was ex-
tensively done. as to their knowledge
OF what the bill boards contained and
found that very few of them could
tell anything about it. They had
seen the bill boards. but hadn't re-
ceived any impression from them at
all. But the merchant who sends his
announcement of bargains into the
family, in the columns Of the news
paper, is the one who reaps the benefit.

Mesaba Ores.

Nothing could be farther from the
truth than the statement published
first by the Iron Trade Review, and
enlarged upon by local papers on the
Gogebic range. that furnace men
were steadily cutting down the per-
centage OF Mesaba ores used in mix
ing with hard ore from the old ranges
says the Duluth Herald.
At present only about one-half Of
the furnaces in the country are using
Mesaba ore and yet one-third of the
total output OF the Lake Superior dis
trict will come from that range this
year. This shows that the furnaces
that are buying Mesaba ore must on
the average be using abont TWO parts
Of the soft ore from this range to one
part of hard ore from all other ranges.
Ever since the first shipments of
Mesaba ore the furnace men have
been improving their plants with the
special object of mixing it as extens-
| lively do pOcct0tC UCNdOSC IL OdA NC
mined more cheaply than that of any
other range. Every time new fur.
mace is built or an old one repaired
its adaptability TO the use of Mesaba
ore is kept constantly in view with
the result that each new plant is cap
able Of taking care of greater per
centage Of it.
1t has been only few years since
4 furnace men would not touch fine or,
under any circumstances, but nov
they will not buy hard ore until it ha.
first been crushed. There are scarcely
any furnaces that use Mesaba ore a.
all that do not put at least so per CEN
of it in their mixture, while the fur
naces of more recent construction Cal
handle a much higher percentag'

DISTRICT COURT.
Ely has Several Interesting Cases
on Trial this Term.

At the session of the District court
in Duluth, the three Ely cases seem
to be the principal attraction on the
criminal docket. John Gribben, who
was tried last week for grand larceny,
was found guilty by the jury Satur-
day. Sentence has not as yet been
passed on Gribben. but many believe
he will get about two years of impris-
onment.
The trial of the Hungarian, Golich.
for assault on the person OF seven
year-old Eliza FromhartZ is now on
and there is no doubt conviction
will follow.
LATER:-The jury tonight, after
being out only short time, brought
in verdict Of guilty as charged.

begun next Monday. Judge Nethe.
way, of Saltwater will defend the
prisoner. Catabani is an Italian and
was indicted by the grand jury charg'

in this city last Spring. The Italians
throughout the mining districts have
subscribed liberal amounts for his
defence and there is no doubt but
what every effort will be made t6
clear him of the charge. When the
case was.ealled last week, counsel fol
the defence made motion to lay the
matter over until the November tern

THE COUNTY FAIR
A Special Rate for Ely and Special
Train for Return.

The Annual Fair of the st. Louis
County Agricultural Association takes
place in Duluth from Sept. 22 to Sept.
%. The indications thus far, from
the engagements OF space for exhibits
and the preparations made for the
exposition and races, are that it will
be far larger and better than ever
before. The exposition building has
been improved, 500 bleacher added to
the present grand stand seating cap
acity and the fence extended so as tn
take in the Wheeler's grove. There
is every assurance that the best horses
in the Northwest will be entered for
the races. This assurance was effect
ed last winter when the fair associa-
tion became member of the North
Wisconsin and Minnesota Fair Cir
cult association. The prizes offered
in the races will sum up 81 500.
The Racing association has Sic, 600
put up for purses for trotting and
pacing races and because of this large
appropriation Of money some Of the
best horses in the country have been
entered for the entire circuit and il
is therefore reasonably certain that
nearly all of the horses competing in
the races in st. Paul last week will be
in Duluth for the county fair. The
fair opens Wednesday Sept. q and
will continue for four days. Wednes-
day will be bicycle day: Thursday.
Iron Range day; Friday, children's
day and Saturday, Duluth and West
Superior day. 1t has been arranged
to have the champion trick and exhi-
bition rider Of America. Lee Richard
son give exhibitions on his bicycle
throughout the continuance of the
| fair.
1t is probable that rate OF one
fare for the round trip viii be made
from Ely to Duluth and that a special
train will leave Duluth at O'Clock in
the evening of Sept. % to bring the
people home. A project is now Or
foot to take the Ely City band to the
fair and return on Iron Range day

Out of this unpromising material
they have made ornamental trellises

about the almshouse farm these bits
of adornment give it some of the as.
