At Last IL Has Come,

Monday, DR.. Conan served notice
on Undertaken Gleason to henceforth
abstain from using the ground on the
hill for a burying ground. This prac-
tically leaves this city without place
to bury its dead.
The committee recently appointed
to look up suitable grounds have not
come to any understanding as yet
owing to not being able to secure suit
able lands, without mineral reser-
walton attachment. We understand,
however. that the committee have
a suitable piece Of land in view.
The action of DR.. Conan does not
set with the best of grace on the feel
ings of our people, as it is well known
that the preliminary workso getting.
clearing and fencing the land and es-
tablishing a cemetery takes time. In
the mean time what is to be done
with the dead?

Warned Against Idaho.

Owing to the efforts being made to
get men to go to Idaho. especially in
the Michigan towns, the Federated
Trades and Labor Council of the city
of Ishpeming has issued and posted
the following notices warning the
mine workers from being allured to
that country:
Whereas, there are notices scat
tered about the city calling for 1000
men to work In Idaho, we, the FEEDER
ated Trades and Labor council of the
city Of Ishpeming. Mich, declare the
movement an outrage not only to
union men, but to all wage workers,
from the fact that all union brothers
are compelled to sign an ironclad
contract renouncing their organiza-
tion. Therefore be it resolved that
we. the Federated Trades and Labor
council of Ishpeming and vicinity ad-
wise all wage workers to remain away
from Idaho for the reason that every
man must work under military pro-
lection, and by SO doing the. operators
would be able to defeat the union and
finally reduce wages"

OUR CELEBRATION.

Arrangements have been perfected
for one of the best celebrations on
July 4th, Ely has ever experienced.
This is saying much as we have in
the past led any town Of our size in
the northwest. A large number of
people from Two Harbors, Duluth.
Tower and the Mesaba range towns
have signified their intention of at
tending our celebration.
The various committees to have
charge of the celebration have been
appointed as follows:
Printing and Invitation-Judge
Van Blarcom, Mayor McMallan and
Peter Schaefer.
Music-John Glode and o. G. Korb.
observation-disclosures. Ellefsen, Cross
man, Kotchevar, LaBeau, Jury, Glode

Sports-Messrs. Brownell, T. Miller.

The programme will be given in
later issue.

so far as figures are available, has
been surprize in its size, says the
Iron Trade Review. The ports heard
from that fall short OF last years
record are only slightly behind, and
in other cases the 1898 figures TO June
/ have been exceeded. Two Harbors
sent down $4,000 tons in May, against
1853, 900 tons in May last year. Wild
rates are strong, and with the big
loads modern boats can carry, vessel
men are getting some share of the
going prosperity. From the head Of
the lakes IS cents is paid, from Mar
Quette 70 cents and from Escanaba IS
cents. Shippers are not holding off
because of the substantial advances
over the June rates that have obtained
for several years, and the indications
are that this level will be maintained
for some time. Meantime vessels are
getting better dispatch at Lake Erie
ports than was the case year ago.
More ore is going direct, and the ore
that goes on dock is promptly handled
so that there is comparatively little
holding up of vessels.

Importing Labor.

The Chicago papers say that Sla-
vonic laborers are being brought by
the wholesale to South Chicago. The
majority are promptly given employ
ment by the Illinois Steel company.
United States immigration Inspectors
have been watching this big influx
and are convinced that there have
been many violations of the contract
labor law. One batch of men has
been sent back to their native land
and all efforts are being made to get
evidence sufficient to return 1000 more
who have arrived in South Chicago
since last fall.

Thos. HYDE Is Ruled Out.

The hearing of documentary evil
dence under the pleadings in the Sec
tion 80 Sioux half-breed Indian scrip
case, over which there has been 50
much contention, covering period
of over Is years, was resumed Tuesday
before Judge Moer, in the district
court. Hyde has suffered the first
fall in the contest.
The range of the discussion yester-
day hinged on the right of the de-
PENDANTS, Hyde and Eaton, to offer
certain testimony tending to prove
the validity of their claims, and at
the same time to open up questions
OF fact that have already been dis
posed of and settled by the land de-
partment.
John Brennan and L. c. Harris,
counsel for Hyde, offered an array of
authorities covering an extended
range with the view OF impugning the
decision of Secretary Villas, made in
1889, ia SO far as it was based on the
grounds that in securing and present.
ing his right to the claim he had
acted in bad faith.
This point was discussed at length,
and the question as to whether the
fees had been paid, as required by act
of congress and which was made the
subject of an adverse decision by the
interior department in Washington,
in 1894, also came in for large share
of attention.
The case is sharply contested on
both sides by attorneys versed in all
of the miracles of law relating to
land department litigation and the
many fine points of law involved. P.
H. Seymour and Walter Ayers who
represent the Midway and Germania
Iron companies are contesting every
point raised, and while there is moth
ing sensational in the case in the or
binary acceptation of the term, it is
really a battle of the giants Today
the latter will adduce authorities
tending to show that under the Villas
decision, which Cancelled their claims,
the defendants had not the right to
enter land on the half-breed scrip.
Just before adjournment last even
ing Judge Moer overruled the motion
to exclude the testimony against the
defendant Hyde, and thus shut of
she attempt to reopen the case, as far
as the decision Of the interior depart
ment is concerned, which determined
his claim adversely and entitled him
to no standing In court in.the present
case

A crew OF Is men In charge of Jos.
Tanning arrived from the Pennsyl-
yania coal fields Saturday evening to
work for the Pioneer. They went to
work Immediately. In conversation
with one of the men today we were
Informed they were we'll pleased with
their new jobs. While the work is
new to them, they are nevertheless
much pleased especially with the
steady work and wages. In the coal
fields, the men only work about two
days week and while the pay is good
only work enough is secured to just
keep body and soul together.
The new water tank at the Pioneer
is nearly finished and pumping into
the same will begin in a few days.
The tank is 26 feet in diameter and
20 feet high and holds $4,000 gallons.
Water is secured from the lake.
The motors at the Pioneer are run
ming smoothly. Two motors are on
the eighth level. Only one is at work
at time, however. From to IL cars
are hauled according to the grade.
The cars have a capacity of two tons
each. The motors are built for hand
ling twelve cars at their full capacity,
up per cent grade.
The Pioneer has shipped to date
about 100, 900 tons and an output of
5000 tons is daily going forward.
A steam shovel has arrived for the
Zenith and the stock pile will be load
ed at once.

TERRIBLE CYCLONEl
A Religious Twistsr Strikes Ely.
(Communicated.)


He Is a "holy terror, y for he preach
es holiness and terrorizes sinners. 1t
is reported that some men are afraid
TO go to the Opera house for fear their
sins will be forgiven. Men OF faith
have often been criticised for not
turning out to hear Ingersoll. If ind
deity were anything but harmful,
their point would be well taken. but
there are men who recognize Christ
ianity as good thing. yet refuse to
'push it along" or even to listen to
the exposition of its truth.
An evangelist is in our midst who
is strictly undenominational in his
methods and doctrine. Yet those
who clamur most for lone church,"
meaning one denomination. are con-
spicuouS by their absence from the
meetings. Cut the rotten out of Ely,
how much would be left? or course.
we could not say; but some say that
one church to twenty saloons is the
proper proportion.
Mr.. Sunday is probing the town to
find its rottenness and cut it out. He
is not an iconoclast to break up exist
ing institutions and bring disaster,
but he proclaims Christianity as the
remedy for all ills, domestic and pol
itical. The people of Havana were
very averse to the cleaning up, but
there were four times as many deaths
in that city during the mont Of May
1893, as there were during the SAME
month in 1899. A prominent member
of the Chandler Iron company estim-
ates that s75, 900 are annually received
by the saloons of Ely. All the
churches receive less than $1,000 yet
many philosophers would shift dis
agreeable burden by cutting down. on
donations to churches.
We marvel at Santiago and Havana
in their dread of cleaning up, but we
need not go so far to find insolvable
mysteries. The good and self-res-
pecting citizens of Ely, including the
officials, need not be afraid of disaster
because reform is proposed. Right
reform meaus prosperity along all
legitimate lines of trade. There will
be increase of trade for grocerymen,
hardwaremen, clothiers, jewellers,
cobblers, miliners, butchers, BARRIERS,
bakers, confectiOners, blacksmiths
and carpenters. Almost every miner
will have more money in the bank.
But money considerations are OF
secondary Importance with the true
Christian. Mr.. Sunday gave up $500
per month at ball playing for $50 per
month at Y. M. G. A. work. Last
season he was offered $3.50 per month
to umpire in the national league, but
souls are more precious to linn than
coin. More than Thousand souls
have been saved during thepast year
by his sacrifice. If, as Christ implied,
mans soul is worth more to him
than the whole world, then more
than nineteen worlds have been con-
quored here in Ely withina week for
nineteen souls have received salvation.

The Prayer of an Editor.

The following prayer credited to II
Nebraska editor is very appropriate at
this time Of he year, when everyone is
supposed to pay for their paper:
"Almighty and kind father, who
doth from Thine. throne look down Oh
the government OF men and delinquent
subscribers, most humbly We beseech
Thee to draw near unto them and
whisper a few things into their ears
that the statutes forbid us to print.
Thou knowest them not, and seldom
step in to inquire. Let it be known
unto them that there are many patches
on the homestead of our pants, and
there is an aching void in the front part
of our back and that we hunger and
thirst and he asketh us not to sup with
him. Thou knowest, Lord, that our
print paper and ink cost money, but
our subscribers knoweth it not, aud
caretl darn sight less. Thou knowest
we are sliyering and shaking while he
roasteth his shins by the red-hot stove
OF his mother-in- law. Tell him all these
things. Lord, and if be then fallcth and
brngeth not succor, Danish him to the
lower regions, to dwell among the popu-
list calamity howlers and thine shall DO
the glory and praise throughout our
newspaper career, amen"

A PISCATORIAL COEUNDRUM.
How q Twelvc-Euot Fia3, Was Cap
tured with Il C=OVvbar Down
q in Massachusetts.

Daniel A. Eucl:ley, of Cambridge,
had an exciting experience at his sum
mer home at Anhisquu1n the other day,
which resulted in the capture OF Il II.
foot fish, the name of which is at pres.
ent unknown, says the Boston Tran
script. The knowledge OF specialists
is to be called in to determine o what
species the fish belongs. Mir. Buckley
is engaged in building cottay" or the
beach at AnnisIuam. He was superir.
tending the work, when his attention
was drawn to something struggling in
shallow water. Two OF his men. armed
with crowhars, rushed into the water
and belabored the unk. own thing with
might and main, the doughty Daniel
directing their efforts from the beach.
The fish was skillfulIy guided into
still shallower water and IA shots from
a revolver were put into his body.
Finally line was attached to it's tail
and after a igh. CT two hours it was
hauled out. Mr.. Buckley describes it
as II feet long, with a sharp snout one
foot long. Back of the head the body
is barrel-shaped. and it tapers grace
fully to the tail which is powerful and
capable of executing great damage.
Although there were many men in the
crowd which gathered who had fol-
lowed the sea, none could tell the
name of the fish.
