HIGH WAGES ON MEsABA RANGE.
More Men Employed Than Ever Re
fore and at Better Pay.

DULUTH, Mimi, Nov. 5-St. Louis
County, Minnesota, which now fur
nishes nearly, if not quite, half of the
iron ore required in this country, is
now giving employment to more men
and at better wages than ever before
in it's history. Men can get employ
ment at almost any station ON the
MeSaba or Vermillion range.
Three weeks ago it was stated that
1000 more men were required on the
ranges. Since then several hundred
men have been secured, but the de-
mand is still unsatistied, and word
comes from Ely that,athe statement
that 1000 men could find work at good
wages on the ranges still. holds good s
Better wages in the woods have not
been paid in the history of the logging
operations in the county. 1t has been
reported that wages run from SIG to
$26 per month, but on the. ranges wood
mems wages are from $1.65 to $l.75 per
day.
The range towns are gaining in popu-
lation, and where year ago there was
much restitution in many of the towns
in the northern part of ST. Louis coun-
ty, there is now a condition of pros
perity such as has not been witnessed
since the discovery of iron ore there.

of the president to omit all social and
official functions at the white house for
a period of 80 days from the death of his
mother. Most of the official receptions
are usually set down for dates after the
first of January, so that the principal
omission, of the present order is car
ried out, will be the New Years day re-
ception, which will be less felt than any
other from the fact that all the ele-
ments that go to make up this function,
even the general public, are received by
the president at one or the other of the
special receptions.

Immense Increase in the Christmas

Washington, Dec. 17.-Reports to the
post office department from the money
order divisions of the principal post

during the last four years on the issue
of both foreign and domestic money
orders that are evidently intended for
Christmas presents. These conditions
are accepted as pronounced indication
Of the return of better times and i'm

er from New York last week took out
nearly 10000 money orders, aggregat-
ing a sum in the neighborhood of $780,
900, 20 per cent. of which was destined
for Norway and Sweden. The report
of the New York office, which is one of
the principal "test" offices of the coun-
try, says that the money order business
is averaging more than double what it
was this time last year. Over 10000
orders are being handled daily, against
less than 10000 daily for the second
week of December last year. The re-
turns from other large offices are pro-
portionately of the same tenor and tell
their own story of the gradual return OF

AN EXCITING SCENE.
1t Follows Verdict of n Jury i'm Chi
cagO Court.


cagO Court.
Chicago, Dec. 1S.-John j. Hanrahan
and Patrick Ferris, judges of election
in the Seventeenth ward at the last
municipal election, were on Friday con-
victed of classifying election returns and
sentenced to the penitentiary. Albert
J. Purvis, an election clerk, who was on
trial with them, was acquitted. Both
Hanrahan and Ferris had many friends
in the courtroom, and when the verdict
was announced there was almost riot.
Mrs. Hanrahan, wife of the convicted
man, became hysterical and her female
friends added their vocal powers TO
hers, as she sent up shrek after shrek.
The male friends of Hanrahan and Fer
ris cursed the jury vigorously, and
made vicious threats against Assistant
States Attorney Barnes, who had pros
ecuted the case.
When the jury was about to pass out
of the courtroom two men, friends of
the convicted former judges of election,
seized Silas Hunt, one of the jurors, by
tie coat collar and demanded:
''How did you come to convict these
men under the evidence?"
81 was coerced into it," replied Hunt.
With jerk that nearly took Hunt off
his feet, the two men pulled the juror
up before Judge Chetlain, who presided
at the trial.
"This man says he was coerced into
signing the verdict, your honor" cried
one of the men.
"But you signed it, did you not?"
queried the court.
81 did," responded Hunt.
"Then the court can do nothing" said
Judge Chetlain.
"They can bring this matter of al
legged coercion up when the motion fer
a new trial is argued" said Assistant
States Attorney Barnes. This remark
attracted attention to the assistant
states attorney and the excited mob adj
dressed vile language to him until the
courtroom was cleared 1t was consid-
cred necessary to send officers with
Barnes to his home to protect him from
violence.
