Nothing to be Done.

It may be put down as a pretty well
settled fact that the board of equali-
cation will not attempt this year to
raise the valuations of the iron prop
critics Of the county as they intended
to do some time ago. The members
of the boord have practically decided
to abandon the attempt for this year,
though this has not been officially
settled upon by the fnll board. They
say the reason they have grown cold
on the subject is because it is by no
means a sure thing that it is possible
for them to touch real estate valua-
tions in the odd numbered years; in
deed a majority of the members
believe that it is impossible for them
to do so. At any rate it is problemat-.
ical and the only sure thing about it
is that the mine owners will object
and that their objections will result
in prolonged litigation which would
be expensive to the county even if the
fight resulted in its favor. There
fore they have about determined to
abandon the project.-Herald.

very much intoxicated, with bottle
of whiskey in his pocket. After sup
per lie again went TO town and re-
turned home at aboilt O'Clock In the

O'Clock the same dag.
DR.. Wunder held q post norton
examination on the remains and found
the right lung badly affected having
grown fast to the ribs probably from
a previous attack OF pneumonia. The
colon was not Ia a nermal condition
being restricted and doubled back Oh
itself and grown together in such a
maner as to make the passage OF any
substance through it both difficult
and painful. Nothing was found to
indicate that the man died from other
than natural causes.
In view of these facts, 10 inquest
was deemed necessary by the coroner
and the body was buried Sunday.

Seats can be reserved at the City
Drug Store and those wishing should

AS fitting wind up for the day.
grand ball has been arranged for the
evening to be given at the Turf hall.
The Flaaten-Hoare orchestra, of
Duluth, will furnish the music. This
orchestra is too well known by our
people to need an introduction. al
though they have not visited our city
Tor several years. The name may
sound Unfamiliar to some but when
Mr.. Hoare retired from the active
music business year or so ago, the
orchestra still went on under the
name of Flaaten-Hoare. The tickets
for the ball are ST and no one will be
sorry for having invested this amount
in an event that promises to be the
ball Of the season.
Altogether, the day promises to be
one to be remembered provided the
weather is fine. The Odd Fellows
and their ladies are recognized enter
tainers and will make it pleasant for
those that attend. The Ely City
Band has been engaged for the day
and will furnish music to the best of
their ability which is no mean attrac-
ton in itself. For the occasion Mr..
Jno. Kinsman, leader of the band,
has composed and arranged march
for the full band which will be rend-
cred for the first time and dedicated
to Ely Lodge No. 220, on that day.

started for that place. Mr.. McInnis
Immediately placed the matter In the

that, on his arrival in Seattle, Wat

The dogs will either come back or
500 apiece will free them from the

NOT THE MAN.
What Purported to be Rather Disagree
able Middle Did Not Materialfze.

Saturday afternoon mystery was
floating in the air. 1t seems that
during the past two months consider
able flour had been stolen from the
Ely Cash Grocery company by parties
unknown. During the day Finn
named Isaac Koni, who also went
by Isaac Isaacson died under very
suspicious circumstances, Theories
regarding the probable cause of death
were advanced by different parties,
chief among which was the story
that the night before Koni had been
engaged in stealing -four; that while
SO engaged he had injured himself
and in consequence thereof was obliged
to leave three sacks Of flour on the
ground being unable to remove or con-
ceal the booty, and fearing that his
criminal actions would be discovered
he had taken poison.
Deputy Coroner Sheppard was call
ed from Tower and arrived Saturday
evening. He straightway went to
work on the case and soon had it
Strengthened out.
In support of the poison theory were
advanced various facts as follows: The
suddeness of his death and that as
late as O'Clock p. N. on August TIL,
certain people had seen Koni on the
streets and in a business house and
that at the time he was suffering
severe pains, similar to those noticed
on poisoned people.
In support of the flour theory
was the story Of an Austrian living in
the Chandler location who claimed
that the previous night Koni had
come to his house and offered to sell
him good flour at 1.5o per sack and
on his agreeing to take some, had
borrowed a wheelbarrow to deliver
the same and had failed to return
either with the -four or the wheel
barrow.
Upon investigation by the Coroner
it was ascertained that all theories
advanced were false and that Koni
was not the man referred to at all.
The persons who claimed to have
seen the man on the street and the
Austrian heretofore mentioned were
called and could not connect the dead
man with the one they had reference
too. DR.. Wunder testified that the
man had been taking medicine for
over two weeks. August 6, he had
gone to work and worked until noon

Grape Grower Dtsperses
Clouds by Heavy Explosions.

Clouds by Heavy Explosions.
Possibly it was from noticing the I'M
successful attempts made by the would
be rainmakers in the United States to
bring down showers when wanted that
an ingenious Austrian grape grower
was induced to exactly reverse the
American practice.
An account of his experiment Is given
by United States Consul Stephan at'An-
naberg in report to the state depart
ment. The Austrian owns extensive
vineyards situated on the southern
slopes of the mountains, in locality
often visited by destructive hailstorms.
At first he tried galvanized wire, but
this was too expensive and he decided
to install battery and test the plan OF
causing explosions to drive off the hail
storms. He erected six stations on
prominent mountain SUBMITS, COM
handing a territory about two miles in
extent. Each station sheltered ten
mortars and a corps of volunteers
handled them. The practical test is
thus described:
Threatening black clouds made
their appearance on the submits of
Bacher mountains. At given signal all
the mortars were fired off and the con-
tinuous decorations in a few minutes
caused a sudden reaction in the move
ments of the clouds. The cloud wall
opened up funnel-like; the mouth of the
funnel began to rise in the form of con-
secutive rings, expanding gradually I'M
til ell the clouds scattered and entirely
disappeared. No hail nor sudden down
pour of rain fell. The same experience
was gone through six times last sum
mer and has without single exception
proven successful preventive" Chi

START OF A GREAT CHARITY
Rescuing the Children of Criminals
I'm London Streets.

In London Stfccts'
Dur. Barnado, who is at the head OF an
association for resc1iing the children OF
the criminal classes in London, has told
the story of an incident which hrst ore"
his attention to them.
In 1856, while studying medicine, he,
with friend, taught night ragged
school for men in an old stable. One
bitter night when the school was over
he found q boy lying asleep close to the
cmbers of the fire. He woke him and
told him he must go home.
81 have no home" was the reply.
Nonsense, you must live some
where"
81 don't live nowheres," the boy in
sisted
The medical student found that the
child for three years had been sleeping
in the streets of London. The next
night, with this young lad for guide,
he found II boys asleep in Houndsditch
on the roof of one building. The next
night he found in Billingsgate over 20
little fellows stretched on number OF
barrels covered with tarpaulin.
The young man told these facts at
public meeting. The earl of Shaftes-
bury, an eager philanthropist, went
with him that night to Billingsgate and
found the poor little gamins on the bar
rels An old house was taken, cleaned
and furnished with cheap, comfortable
beds. DR.. Barnado took charge of it.
The work has grown until his houses
have received tens of thousands of
friendless children until permanent
homes have been found for them.
Tourgenieff, when boy, saw one day
woman, a serf on one of his mothers
estates, brutally beaten. He never for
got the incident. The result, years after
ward, was a volume of sketches of the
lives of serfs. 1t fell into the hands of
the car, and, il is said, was the cause of
the ukase which he issued soon after
ward, .enfranchisipg all the serfs of
Russia.
1t was not the homeless boy, nor the
serf with the blood flowing from her
stripes, that wrought these good works
in the world. Homeless boys had slept
in London streets and serfs had been
beaten in Russia for centuries. The help
lay in the plying hearts of two young
men.-Youth's CnmDanion.
