MESABAITES DEFEATED

A fair crowd of excursionists
took advantage Of the cheap rate
to Ely on Sunday last, to witness
the ball game between the Ely
ties and a team composed of
Eveleth and Virginia boys. The
day was an ideal one, and the at
tendants report a most enjoyable
trip. The ball game resulted in
the ignominious defeat Of the
Mesabaites by a score Of Is to 8,
but the game was a pretty one
up to the seventh inning, at the
opening Of which the score was
q to 8 in favor Of the visitors.
Thereafter one OF the players
went to pieces" ard the game

=ponents. The boys speak
highly Of their treatment BY the
Ely team, and it is robable a
return game will be arranged, to

bonded in the sum Of Sl2,00o.0 90 for the pur-
pose OF building a school house at Eveleth
and one at Virginia, also by the fact that
| large amount of our accrued back taxes have
been paid during the past year. Therefore
we have the extremely satisfactory showing
of about 5000 surplus, which will be deduct
ed from our tax levy the coming year, max
Ing our tx levy one Of the lishtest in the
history of our district.
We had cash on hand at the beginning Of

kilograms, postage and paper salary for clerk
for ear ending 1897 also ending 1893 and the
treasurer's percentage for year ending 1891, a

ment OF bonds and interest On bonds 5l857.0g

fire at 6 o'clock Sunday evening,
aid with their warehouse also
was burned to the ground. The
loss is about 100000, partly in

This mill was the only depend
