CAPTAINS STORY.

Captain Albano gave graphic ae-
count of his experience yesterday to a
reporter Of the Philadelphia Times. who
boarded his vessel shortly after she
had dropped anchor near pier is, South
Wharves.
ION August 2" said he, I'VE were in
about latitude 40 north, longitude 80
west. Our trip had been good one
and we had prospects of winding up in
good shape.
My attention was first called about
6 bells in the morning to the fact that
something was wrong with the com
pass. The card showed points which
knew to be in error. In the meantime
the sky had assumed a gloomy look.
Not clouds, but an undefnable haze
overspread it. 1t reminded me of the
approach of West Indian monsoon. l
ordered everything made snug in ex-
pectation of big blow.
lightning preceded the storm, the
most appalling lightning have ever
seen. 1t seemed to leap from the sea
and described a grand arc across the
sky to the opposite horizon. The air
was saturated with electricity. A cat
had on board when rubbed on the back
would glow like a ball Of fire. In the
meantime the ship remained absolutely
motionless on sea of glass. Night
closed in, shrouding in blaekness the
most peculiar scene l have ever looked
upon.

STORM BREWING.

AT 10 o'clock that night the wind
arose and the Leonora began TO move.
Then the gale increased with frightful
rapidly. Its course was first from the
west. then veering suddenly 10 the east

Words cannot describe the speed
with which the Leonora tore through
the water. For over six hours she must
have made IT knots. Her starboard
bulwarks were continually nuder wa
ter. and had it not been for her high
freeboard she must have fonndered

ADDITIONAL LOCAL.

That vegetables can be raised in
this section at profit notwithstand-
ing the late seasons is surety as
can be proven by the squash and beet
exhibited by John Cosgrove at Millers
store. The squash weighs 553 pounds
and the beet Al pounds. The farm of
Mr.. Wylie near the new cemetery is
also an apt illustration of the grow
ing quality of Vermilion soil.
Alexander Baker who is we'll known
in this vicinity having passed through
Ely with his notorious dog team on
several occasions from the Rainy lake
country where he made his home,
died in his cabin a Koochiching a
week ago. 1t Is claimed that Baker
was one of Farragut's men and also
that he came to this country from
across the ocean in the first steam
boat to run. He was familiar figure
about the Zenith city.
&c. Lawrence left Tuesday morn
ing for Calumet, Michigan, where he
secured profitable employment. By
the removal of Mr.. Lawrence, the
city losses progressive citizen and a
musician of the first school. The
City band feels the loss of leader
heavily as Mr.. Lawrence has during
the time he has held the position
brought the band to high standard
of excellence. We trust that he Will
enjoy the change of location and also
that he may return in the near fut-
ure. Without "Rube" the musical
entertainments will suffer.
Arthur Peck was in the city from
the Geological survey west Of town,
Saturday. Mr.. Peck was very much
pleased to hear of the recent decision
of the Secretary of the Interior re-
garding preference rights in Indian
allotment contests. Secretary Hitch
cock holds that the statue giving a
preference to the successful con test
ants of a presumption or homestead,
or other entry, does not extend to
Indian allotments for which condit-
ional or trust patents have been issu-
ed. Mr.. Peck is interested In one Of
these cases and it has been repeated
ly decided against him but the secre-
tary's ruling reverses former rulings.

Important Change In Time.

Radical changes have been made In
the train service between Duluth and
the Twin cities. The night trains
have been taken off and in place The
Northwestern Line have put on a
train known as the "Twilight Linn
tied" which leaves Duluth daily at
AS p. m. reaching st. Paul 9:45 p. m.
and Minneapolis 1915 p. M.
The equipment of this train consists
of elegant new coaches with finely up
holstersd high back seats and a Cafe
Parlor Car. The entire train is wide
vestibuled, steam heated, lighted by
Pintsch Gas and taken all in all is the
finest train ever operated out of Du-
luth.
The leaving time of this train gives
our patrons from the ranges an oppor-
tunity to spend little time in Du-
luth and still reach the Twin cities
without mourning the expense of a
sleeper. Returning leaving time from
