lands.
The Marquette Mining Journal, of
Thursday, says Finnish explor-
ing crew with load Of wines. ETC.,
passed through Negaunee on the way
to Goose lake to prospect for ore at
that place. The wisdom of having
their wines and shafts loaded on a
sleigh and taken to the property is
apparent. 1t requires much effort
and money to get the WINES through
hard ground and to have them ready
made is of great advantage, particu-
larry in the winter season.-Iron Ore.

Nearly a Murder.

Nick Johnson is confined in the
county jail at Duluth for assaulting
one John Ullaka in this city last week.
Johnson belabored Ullakka with a
chair within an inch of his life and
chances at one time were very slim
for recovery. The case will come UP
at the next term of court when in all
probability Assistant County Attor-

the first time in four or five years the
receipts were considerably in excess
or the expenses of the Office, and there
is comfortable balance for the
county above expenditures. The num-
Der of instruments recorded was
IL, 1870, which is the largest in several
years. The total receipts were S1O,-
602.21 and the expenses for clerk hire
amounted to S5,518.6S, leaving net
earnings of S5,O83.53. Even taking
out the salary of the register, $1,000,
there is still balance in favor of the
profit side of the book. Last year the
net earnings were S2,053.34, which
left loss after the salary was taken
out.

worth it and the council showed good

Elizabeth, y. j., a sister Of the late Col.

the academy for many years is well

The picture is a copy of the famous
Descent From the Cross" by Rubens,
and was made over fifty years ago by
Phillips, at that time a well-known por-
trait painter of New York. The picture
was purchased by DR.. James p. Screven,
one of Savannah's ante-bellum Mayors,
and father of the late Col Screven and
Of Mrs Henderson. 1t was the desire
OF Mrs. Henderson that the picture should
become the property Of the academy, Sew

WILSON WILL BE CAPTAIN.
Blues Chose Him to Succeed Capt.
w. l.. GraysOn.

w. H. GfHNSOu'
Second Lieutenant NJ Ed Wilson was
last night nominated Captain of the Re-
publican Blues, and the nomination will
be ratified in a legal election on Feb. l,
when Lieut. Wilson will become command
ing officer. His choice was practically
unanimous, only three members of the
many who attended the meeting voting
against him.
First Lieutenant Lacey D. Nell was
nominated for the captaincy by Lieut.. Will
son, and was agreed upon by the com
pany. A committee was appointed to wait
upon him at his home and notify him of
the action taken. The committee return
ed with a letter of regret from Lieut..
Nell. Lieut. Wilson was then nominated.
The elevation of Lieut.. Wilson to the
captaincy is a great honor to the young
officer. He has been connected with the
Blues but a short time, having been chosen
from the outside as second lieutenant only
a few months ago. He has since displayed
such interest in the command and such
promising ability as an officer that the
company was glad of an opportunity 10
show the trust it reposes in him.
Lieut.. Nell resigned his commission as
first lieutenant Who will succeed him is
a question that viii be determined at an
other meeting of the company, to be held
Thursday night, when a committee will
make its report upon names for first and
second lieutenant. This committee was
named al the meeting and consists of Capt.
w. l.. Grayson, Sergt. Cook, Corpl. Dekle,
Corpl Woodcock and Private Harris.
1t is not known who will be chosen by
the company. 1t Is probable that there
would be no objection to any nomination
the committee may make. The Blues have
been built up rapidly since the return of
the regiment from service in the Spanish
war, and whoever are chosen as their lieu
tenants will cast their lot with a company
in which great interest is shown.
Two gentlemen have been mentioned in
connection with the position, and il is be-
leved that, were the committee to report
upon them favorably, the company would
elect them. Mr.. j. j. McDonough, Jr,
and Mr.. Joseph VI. Dreyer are spoken of
as first and second lieutenants respective
iy Both have seen a great deal of mill
tary service and would make the COM
mand excellent officers.
