The Game of whist.

Whist is wonderfully popular
game, and much Of technical nature
is written about it: but it seems to
the ordinary player that good suit is
as good as trumps. When you have
both you are all right. The Saint
Paul s. Duluth railroad has both, its
trumps being its equipment, its terri
tory, its roadbed, its trains. its ter
minals. while its long suit is it's
general popularity with the travelling
public, based upon good service and
an effort TO please. This line. better
known as the Duluth Short Line. is
the peoples popular route to and be-
tween st. Paul, Minneapolis. Duluth.
West Superior, Saltwater, Taylor's
Falls and other important points.
where close connections are made
with trains running to all points of
the country. For maps. circulars,

A Good Decision.

A decision has been rendered by the
SECRETARY of the interior in the case
of the United States against Alphon-
re Brouseau. involving lands in Sec
tion ls-51-l7, and it is one which will
meet with general commendation.
Brouseau's entry was held for cancel
lation because of failure 30 reside on
the land. The Duluth officers found
that the charges we're substantially
true when made. but on account OF
good faith shown by the subsequent
conduct Of the entryman, they recon-
mended the relief Of the entry from
cancellation. The general land Office
reversed the decision.
1t was shown at the hearing that
Brouseau had cut and sold timber on
the land. and the general land Office
held that this was evidence of fraud
ulent inteEt-
The secretary holds that the status
OF facts at the time of the hearing
should control. and not at the time OF
the special agents report Tie
largest estimate Of the timber on the
land was about 260, 200 feet. If ale
and sold at $3.50 per thousand it
would be worth 1910. According TO
another special agents report. the
value of his improvements was $500.
with twelve and three-eights acres
cleared. This, the secretary says.
shows good faith, and that he did
not intend to cut the timber and then
abandon the land The man has a
wife and ten children. and has nc
other home, and has TO labor with his
hands for a living. The secretary
reverses the general land official, and
declines to allow the entry to be can
celled.

Editor of the ELY MINER:
The first public observance of
Memorial day in the city of Ely, so
successfully inaugurated by Prof.
Giles and his able Choir of assistants
at the Ely school building on last
Friday afternoon, should receive the
hearty endorsement and future Co
operation of all patriotic citizens, as
it surely has of every member of the
Grand Army in this vicinity. 1t was
a move in the right direction, and
will no doubt lead to the future
annual observance of this, the most
sacred of our national holidays by all
of our citizens as well as the teachers
and pupils of our public school. All
honor then to the teachers and pupils
of the Ely school for their patriotic
action, enduring patriotism and love
of country viii surely follow if they
continue the good work

Matthew Judish, late of Ely, but
who started recently for San Francisco
to take a position as a civil engineer
on a mountain road was the victim of
confidence men in St. Paul, according
to the Globe, and was left without a
cent in his pocket.
He met On the train three stylish
appearing young men who engaged in
conversation and game of cards with
him and when St. Paul was reached
took him to their club.
Here in euchre game he was in
duced to lend his partner, who wished
to play one of the hands as hand al

During his stay in the city the MAJOR
called on Governor O'Ferran ana .had
very pleasant interview with him.
The Governor Is oyerrun with ap-
plications for office. II IS said there are IL,
persons who have asked to be oppointed

only two members of his staH-Mr. M'il II
l., Dawson OF Richmond, and Mr.. Parrish
OF Southampton. Va. Three other mem
bers have been practically agreed upon
and their names will be made public In
day or two.
TO INCREASE THE STAFF.
IL may be interesting news TO the vaIf-
Gus applicants for staff appointments 10
learn that bill will be introduced in the
House 10 increase the number OF members
of the Governors staff to fifteen. But
this will leave lO2 applicants unprovided
for.
Governor Tyler will be inaugurated in

very simple ceremonies.
There will be no military display. cap

NOMINATIONS HELD UP.
A report has been circulated that OBJ
lection had been made by members Of the
Senate TO the confirmation Of Hon. W. l..
Wilson. as a member Of the Board Of
Visitors of the State Female Normal
School Al Farmville.
Last night a Times reporter was assur-
ed by members OF the Senate that not a
word was uttered in the executive session
against Mr. Wilson. One Senator said he
did not think Mr.. Wilson should be APP
pointed 10 this position before he became
a citizen OF the state. but no objection
was made in the executive session 10 Mr..
Wilson.
T. few DAYS ago Governor OFerrall sent
70 the Senate list of nominations for
members OF Boards Of Visitors Of various
public institutions. There were. perhaps
fftv IN the batch. The Senate confirmed
only the nomination Of Senator Wickham
TO succeed Captain Camm Patteson on
the University Board and the nominations
made for the Board OF Visitors Of the Vir-
, GINA Military Institute.
| All other nominations were held up for
| the reason that II was suggested that
+, Governor O'Ferrall should not have filed
| these positions but should have left the
| nominations 10 be made BY his successor.
/. II IS more than likely that the nomi-
nations will lie upon the table until
| Major Tyler becomes Governor and HI
/, will make nominations for the variou,
| boards.
