Messrs. Foote and Miller, the
representatives of the Illinois
Steel company who spent sever.
al days in and about a number of
the mines in the Virginia group

time.
| J. R. Ford, of Ely lake, was in
the city Saturday. Mr.. Ford is
at present filing the Schlitz cold
storage building at E7elevh with
Ely lake ice, and contemplates
the erection of a building in this
city to be filled with ice from the
same place, for family use. Such
an investment would be a paying
one. since the decree of the
health officer ugainst the use OF
ice from the Virginia lakes.
The last OF the s:ries of social
hops rendered by the Virginia
Assembly on Friday evening last
was the best attended and is re-
ported as the most enjoyable
party given, many people taking
advantage of the last opportun-
ity of enjoying themselves prior
to the Lebten season. A large
number of Evelethltes were in
attendance, and all had a splen-

with his many friends here and
at the Fayal Monday, stopping
but a day on the Mesaba on his
return trip to old Mexico. Mr..
Morehead ha since leaving here
a year ago, become a prosper
Gus coffee planter of our south .
ern Eldorado, and is apparently
much pleased with his new home.
He says free silver Mexico is the
place for young men of energy,
backed by a little capital, but is
not the country for labor, the
wages paid being extremely low.
Assistant County Attorney G.
o. Baldwin has asked for a
change of venue in the cases
against County Auditor Halden,
alleging as his grounds that r.
nalden assisted in drawing the
jurors to try this terms cases,
ard that he did so after he had
|been indicted. He also alleges
that the jury list contains the
names of four men who have
been clerks under Mr.. Halden.
For these reasons he believes
that fairer trial may be ob-
tanned elsewhere than in this
court.

false modesty which withholds
people from telling the editor of
matters concerning themselves.
