Last Saturday night the citi-
zens Of Eveleth held a mass
meeting to ratify the war meas
ures Of President Mckinley ard
the United States congress, It
was probably the most euthusi.
astic meeting ever held in the
town. Shortly alters p. m. the
town hall, which holss several
hundred people, was flied to it's
utmost standing capacity.
A. P. Goss was chosen chair
man and after he had recited the
object of the call America" was
sung.
Several eloquent speeches
were given. Between each
speech patriotic songs were
sung.
Nj. D. l. Fuller presented the
Following resolutions:
"Resolve3, that the citizens of
Eveleth and vicinity regargless
of party affiliations, do hereby
approve of the actions of our
president and congress in reprov~
ing the barbarities and outrages
of Spain toward Cuba and it's
suffering people and trust that
this war on behalf of suffering
humanity will continue until the
people of Cuba are free ard ln-
dependent from Spanish tyranny
and cruelty and the victims of
the Name have been avenged"
These resolutions were at once
adopted unanimously amid great
applause. The Eveleth guards
were then organized with the
names of some seventy-tive
young men who were drilled un.
til 2 o'clock the same evening by
Major A. P. Goss.

MRS. MCGRATH BEGINS SUIT.


The village eff Hiobing is the
defendant in damage suit be
gun in district court Monday
by Sarah McGrath, as admins.
tratrix in the estate of Patrick
McGrath. in which the plaintiff
asks Judgment in the sum of
$4,000, stating that she has suf-
fered damages to that extent
through the death of her hus-
band, who, she alleges, died as
the result of injuries received
through the negligence and care
lessness of the village of Rib
bling.
In her complaint the plaintiff
sets forth the existence of pub
lie we'll and we'll house in Hib-
bing. She states that the viii
lage officials knew that the resi-
dents Of Hibbing made frequent
visits to the we'll house, and, in
fact, invited such visits, receiv
ing compensation from all that
supplied themselves with water
in that way. Knowing this. she
alleges, the village should have
used due care to protect all such
visitors by properly covering'the
opening in the we'll room, It is
alleged that this was not done,
and that on No7. 1, 1897, Pat.
rick McGrath, as one of the reg
ular patrons of the we'll house,
visited it, and fell through the
opening covering the we'll, re.
ceiying injuries from which he
afterward died. The plaintiff,
his widow. alleges that his death
was due solely to the negligence
of the defendant, and that she
has been damaged in the sum Of
$4,000. John Jenswold, Jr.. ap.

in his play. There were no better play
ers on the team than he, but it seemed
an effort for him to exert himself Un-
less he puts more ginger into his players
this year than he showed last he will
not be success as captain.
Kelley, Keller, Jennings and Corbett
are still on the outs with the Baltimore
club management. They all want a
raise in salary over last year. Indiyid-
ual kicks OF this kind do not amount to
much, but concentrated trouble with
four of the Orioles best players is liable
to cost the Baltimore club dear. 1t has
always been Manager Hanlon's strong
hold to start early and get the lead.
The insurrection may disarrange ali
Hanlon's plans this year.
Pitcher Nichols, of the Bostons, is on a
strike for more money. He wants 5000
for this years salary, and it does not ap-
pear an exorbitant demand for such a
player. The Boston management is as
close-fisted as they make them, but last
year klobedanz made the trIumvirs come
to time, and, no doubt Nichols will do
the same. The Bostons cannot get along
without "Nick," that is certain.
Just why President Ebbets, of the
Brooklyn Club, does not want Tucker
for first base is not evident. 1t is claimed
and justly, that the Brooklyns need an
infusion OF aggressive, gingery players,
and Tom Tucker is one of the gingerest
players in the country. He is also a
crack first baseman, good runner and a
slsshing batter. He is not quite so
young as La Chance in years, but for
youthfulness of action on the field he
lays far over him.
The Pirates are down to hard work at
Little Rock, Ark, and from all accounts
from the training quarters thev are
almost in good enough condition to be-
gin the season now. In practice games
the pitchers, especially Killen, Rhines,
Lever, Gardnes and Hastings are doing
good work, while the players have been
doing useful work in the field and at the
bat. In a game recently some of the
hits made were homers by killen and
Hastings, tripples by Camel and Harry
Davis and doubles by Mccarthy and
Tannehill.
Tim Hurst evidently believes in
quantity if not quality in the matter of
pitchers, for he now has eight on his
staff, as follows: Taylor, Carsey, Esper,
Sudoff, Fitzpatrick, Coleman, Hughey
and Smith. OF the eight there are four
with whom Hurst believes that with
fair run OF luck he can make it interest,"
ing for several of the other Leaguers.
The four are Taylor, Carsey, Espef and
Hughey. The rest are m re or less un-
known quantities.
