A Pleasant Affair.

Friday evening party of young
people were entertained by Mrs. A. E.
Camp, the occasion being the BIRTH
day of Mrs. o. G. Korb. The guests
arrived at the Korb residence at 7:3O
and soon after two teams attached to
wagons partly loaded with new mown
clover drove up to convey the party
to Winton. Upon arrival there boats
were at hand and the party were
taken across the bay to the bowery.
The grove in which the bowery is
located and the bowery itself present
ed u fairy-like appearance, being bril-
liantly decorated and illuminated
with Japanese lanterns and bright
lights. The weather was beautiful
and dancing to excellent music fur
nished by the Winton orchestra was
INDUCED in until midnight when an
elegant luncheon was served under
the greenwood trees.
The affair was happy idea and

To Check Profanity.

In Switzerland, where they have
three languages to curse in, they have
an antiprofanity league, pledged to
pay a penny an oath. Whenever one
man hears another swear, he presents
one of the association cards, and the
cusser is supposed to pay his fine.
People who use the Saint Paul &
Duluth Railroad. or Duluth Short
line, as it is generally known, never
are called upon to use profanity, be-
cause they have such good time that
they do not feel called upon to swear.
This road is always up to date in the
matter of equipment and facilities
generally, running fast trains for the
accommodation of the business man
and the tourist, to and between St.
Paul, Minneapolis, Duluth, West Sup
erior and other important points,
making close connections with boats
and trains going in all directions. 1t
is the popular line. as those who have
never tried it before find out. For

Against the State.

The local officials of the Duluth
office have rendered a decision in the
swamp land case of Peter DAILY against
the state of Minnesota. The decision
which involved the northeast quarter
of the southeast quarter of 21-6O-6, is
in favor of DAILY.
The state offered no testimony at
the hearing and the testimony of
DAILY and his witness plainly indi-
Gated that the land in question was
timber land and that there was no
ground whatever to base the claim of
the state of swamp land.

A BRUTAL ACT
John Golich, an Austrian, As
saults the 7-year-Old Daught-
er of VIM. FrOmhartz.
THE BEAST BOUND OVER.

A warrant was sworn out before
Judge Cowling Monday morning
against John Golich, by Mrs. VIM.
Fromhartz charging him with crimi-
nally assaulting her seveG-year-old
daughter. Officer Garrison immedi-
ately took steps to capture the pris-
oner who was reported to have gone
to Winton but when the officer ar
rived at the latter place he was in
fhrmed the man had gone to town.
The officer then came to town and
captured his man at the Pioneer To-
cation.
When arrested the fellow stoutIy de-
MED the charge but it was of no avail
and he was landed in the jail The
hearing took place the following
morning. The testimony as given by
the young victim and another little
girl conclusively proved Golich was
the brute who did the deed.
The little girls say that Saturday
while they were in dry house near
the boarding house in which Golich
boarded, the fellow came in and
on seeing the girls locked the door,
after which he picked. up a hate het
and said. Il will chop your head off
if you make any noise.s caught the
Fromhartz girl by the throat and as
saulted her. AS soon as the girls
could escape they went home but for
fear did not say anything about the
affair until the following day. As
soou as possible the mother took the
girl to the hospital where she was
examined, the doctor saying her story
was true and that she had been in
jured. The prisoner pleaded guilty
but in view Of the facts stated, Judge
Cowling bound him orer to the next
term of the grand jury without bail.
He was taken to Duluth this morn
ing by Officer Garrison and lodged in
the county Jail. This IS one af those
disagreable cases which need not
much publicity. Golsch is slightly
foolish in appearance and this doubt
less had much to do to alleviate the
feeling against him. Had not this
been the case, there is no doubt but
that he would not have seen Duluth.

Valuations Raised.

The county board of equalization
met Friday and discussed the as
sessment of personal property. The
assessment on large wholesale houses,
street car corporations. ETC., in Du-
luth' was increased, in some cases
even as much as 200 per cent. The
question as TO raising the valuations
of St. Louis county iron properties
has not yet been discussed. 1t is not
such a sure thing that the valuations
will be raised. The assessments of
the Knox Lumber company at Win
ton and the Howe Lumber company
of Tower were raised Zoo per cent.

prospects, to make gold mines of
them says the Rainy Lake Journal.
1t is true that great many men of
means have been here or sent agents,
but sales are few. These men were
interested in the country, satisfied
that paying gold properties are to be
had here, but-aye, there's the rub.
these men do not feel like paying
the price Of mine for prospect,
that at most has not cost the pros
pector to exceed $500. Such being the
facts, it is clear that in order to at
tract capital prospectors must do
their share by reducing their prices.
giving promoters fair show TO effect
deals, be ready, if occasion offers, to
take part cash and retain an interest
In their properties, and allow capital
to take hold and do work that will
demonstrate whether the prospect is
a mine. 1t is a fact that practical
mining men pay rather millions for
a fully developed mine than to pay a
few hundred dollars for a prospect
that half dozen shots may blow out,
and the sooner prospectOrs understand
this the better it will be for them and
the public in general. 1t is true that
il prospect is worth $50 to S25,-
600 that it is worth great deal more,
but at the same time it will take
thousands of dollars to demonstrate
its value, the only way to prove its
worth is as Gold Bug Jimmie naively
observes, is ''Sink on her, byes. sink.
We divils, and veil ketch'er." If the
prospector can do this. well and good,
let him do so. But, if he is unable in
financial way, or has no faith in his
own property, let him sell cheap to
some one who is willing to the risk
and is ready TO share either loss or
profit.
