Indian Agreement Signatures.

Washington, Jan. 31.-In re-
sponse to Senate inquiry as to
whether the signatures to the Kio
wa, Apache and Comanche agree
ment included three-fourlhs of the
male adults of the nation, the Sec
retary of the Interior has replied
as follows:
From a roll used in making a
payment to them in January and
February, 1898. it appears that
there were 725 males over Is years
of age, of whom 639 were q years
and over. Article 2 of the agree
ment of 1892 provides that each
member of the COmanche, Kiowa
and Apache tribe of Indians over
Is years of age shall have the right
to select fo~ himself or herself 160
acres of land, to be held and own
ed in seyeralty.'
1t appears that 456 Indians
signed the agreement in question.
If Is years and over be the legal
age of those who were authorized
to sign the agreement, the num-
Der Of persons who actually signed
was 81 less than three fourths of
the adult male membership of the
tribes; and if 81 years be held to
be the minimum age, then % less
than three-fourths signed the
agreement. In either event, less
than three-fourths of the male
adults appear to have SO signed"

Instantly Killed.

At Lehigh last Saturday after
noon the little six year-old daugh-
ter of Pearce O'Hurley met a sud-
den death while handling a loaded
winchester. AS near as we can
learn the child was playing about
the room. A winchester stood in
a corner of the room and the child
tried to lift it upon the bed and in
some manner the gun was fired off ,
the ball striking the child In the
mouth tearing its face almost from
its head. Death was instantaneous.
The funeral took place Sunday and
was attended by a large number of
friends, and the little one was laid
to rest in the Lehigh cemtery. -

tonight when it is supposed the mat

discussed by every body which betok-

While several good sites for GENE
terry are available, there seems to be a
hitch in securing clear title and for
the purposes of cemetery an abso-
lutely clear title must be had. The
larger part ofsthe lands in this vic
Unity have a mineral right attach

fore being purchased for burial pur-

Come mp with the Dough.

Sheriff Sargent's campaign against
delinquents on personal property
taxes Saturday resulted in several
payments and the seizure of one horse.
The threat TO attach property never as
sumed so serious a form before, and
when the delinquents found that the
sheriff really meant what he said
they began to pay up. Several Du-
luth corporations were included in
the list given to the deputies Satur.
day. and they paid up promptly
rather than let the sheriff run of
with their plants. Only few war.
rants were against Ely citizens and
they were promptly paid upon pres.
entation.

Confederate Money in Play.

Joe Anderson, who spent last win
ter in the services of Uncle Sam in
the south, was on the carpet before
Judge Van Blarcom yesterday for de-
frauding an Austrian lady in the Pho
neer location out of $40 by means OF a
confederate bill, Joe. in common
with all of the boys who were in the
south purchased quarters worth Of
the old money for souvenirs. Last
week his exchequor became lank and
be started out to replenish. He will
board with Sheriff Sargent for 90 days.
Two Firms passed the same stamp
at Kotchevar's saloon for drinks re-
ceiving the change. The bartender
refused to take the bill but upon being
assured of its genuineness by Editor
Dollar who promised to make it good,
he took it, giving the change. The
proprietor at once started to look for
the two gents and found them. He
secured the larger part of the good
money and let the matter rest.
The error of Mr.. Dollar is accounted
for in the statement that dollars are
such scarcity about a newspaper
Office that close acquaintance with

Happy Life" in the May Ladies
Home Journal. "Man's mental mood
must needs reflect the books and phil
osophy he reads. If former genera
tions were happy in their garreis il

were optimists. who saw life's good,
indeed, yet also saw that evil, in its
heart, was also good. The great au-
thors, from Homer and Paul down to
Shakespeare. have been the children
Of exultant joy as well as genius; all
were large-natured, sweet wholesome,
healthy and happy. The giants are
optimists because they are conscious
OF enormous reserves and are equal
to any emergency; but weakness is
pessimistic because it recognizes its
scant resources. Indeed, pessimism
may be defined as mediocrity, confess
sing itself unequal to its task. and
exalting its confession into the dig

The Largest Trust

A newspaper editor at Boscobel,
Wis, thinks he has discovered the
biggest trust of all and most publish
ers will be inclined TO believe il. He
SAYS:
"The biggest trust after all is the
country newspaper. 1t trusts almost
everybody. and for that reason the
people like it. 1t is the only trust on
earth that is worked TO the limit, and
the only trust where the proprietor
gets the smallest share Of the divi-
dends. Every city in the state has a
branch Office of this trust, and the
trusting soul who goes down in his
pocket for the dust To keep this trust
going is abused like pirate if he even
hints that his paper needs something
besides air TO keep his trust inflated. /"

The Same Old Sunday.

1t may be interesting to the people
to know that Rev. William A. Sunday
the evangelist that will be here in
June. is the same Sunday who played
centre field in the Chicago National
League ball team. At the time he
PLAYED. Chicago had their famous
White Stockings who won the pen
ant in The national league. Sunday
was one of the luminous stars of the
team as long as he would play with
them. He was paid a salary Of $500
per month and last year he was offered
$3.50 TO umpire.
This seems TO be strong point in
favor of Mr.. Sunday; wishing to bet
ter the world even though his poket-
book may suffer for we must all con-
cede that preaching does not pay such
figures. The music will be a great
drawing card of his meetings.

Assured by Reports.

In conversation with several well
known mining men in Duluth Mon
day representative of the MINER
was rendered the opinion by the min
ing men that Hill would build his
road to the Vermilion range before
1899 passed over and several gave it
as positive fact that such would be
the case. How the gentlemen reas-
oned this we are not at liberty to say
but the various reasons advanced were
very plausible especially as some
seemed to be on the inside Of several
pending deals.
1t is claimed a townSite is being
plated at Beaver Bay, the terminus
of the proposed line, and the govern
ment is taking soundings In the har-
Dor preparatory to constructing a
breakwater. Is is also claimed the
road will be built from Hibbing to
Virginin, thence to Tower Junction

as contemplated will tap much land
valuable for mineral and timber. The
Tower Journal of last week has the
following to say on the subject:
THAT President j. j. Hill, Of the
Great Northern railway has finally
decided to extend his line into the
Vermilion range is now an assured
fact. The recent phenominally rich
strikes of iron ore in this immediate
vicinity fully warrants the success of
the undertaking and the latest ad-
vices go to show that the road will be
completed at the earliest possible
moment. There is no longer any
doubt entertained by mining men
but what Mr.. Hill is deeply interested
in many Vermilion range properties,
and that the recent discoveries in
61-15 and at Robinson lake belong to
him. These facts coupled with the
prospects of shipping mine being
opened on the Roy property, near
Tower Junction. the present season
will give the company a sufficient
guarantee Of all the business it could
handle on one line Of track"
