and Another Man Succeeds.
Robert Pelham, who for several
months has been cne Of the special
agents of the United States land de-
partment, stationed in the Duluth dis
trict, has been succeeded by w. E..
Griffin, recently stationed at Ashland,
Wis, and also Crookston, MINI. Mr..
Pelham left the latter part of last week
for st. Paul, and it is not known Whe-
ther he has been temporarily suspend
ed by the department or merely trans
ferred. a
In the later part of November it was
reported from Washington that Mr..
Pelham was to be suspended for not
carrying out the departments instruc-
tions in relation to inspecting certain
timber lands in the northern part Of
the state, and that charges had been
preferred against him. Mr.. Pelham
professed to know nothing of the
charges, saying at the time that the
only probable cause was his inability
to carry out the departments instruc-
tions to the letter in inspecting tract
of dead and down timber, owing to the
physical conditions that We're impos-
sib!e to overcome.
Mr.. Pelham left Duluth without in-
his intentions and the supposition is
that he has been suspended from duty
for a time.

Henry COrbett Will Take the Stand

RACINE, Wis, Jan. 4.-The state
having rested in the preliminary exam
lation Of Henry T. Corbett, charged
with shooting the Rev. M. r. Cheney
and wife, the defense today began the
introduction of evidence.
Mrs. C. NJ. Steinwitz, of Milwaukee,
who for a time boarded Corbett, testi-
fled as to his honesty. Peter Leersch,
Corbett's room mate in Racine; John
Lonergan, barber: and John Will
liams, porter at the Hotel Racine.
and others testified, but nothing posi-
tive was brought out. Attorney Walk
er expects to prove that Corbett was
nine blocks from the Cheney residence
when the crime was committed.
The strongest testimony for the de-
fense was that Of Mrs. Wieman, who
lives II blocks from the Cheney resi-
dence. She states that Corbett called
at her residence five minutes before
tha shooting occurred.
~4ssIrs. Hugh Miller, this afternoon cor
roborated the testimony of Mrs. VIE
man and Miss Nettie Crouder, living
in the same neighborhood, stated that
Corbett called at her house at 10 o'clock
on the morning of the shooting. Mrs.
David Bloom, living a considerable dis
tance from the Cheney residence also
told of Corbett calling at her house
few minutes before 10 o'clock.
Corbett will go on the stand in his
own defense tomorrow.

, Superior The matter was talked over
county would agree not to use any
other phones but those of the Zenith
| company, the company would make
Z, the price $4,000 a year. This was dis
cussed and the outcome was that a
contract on the latter basis was drawn
up and Chairman MOrcom was author
lied to siel it for the county. The
contract is to run for one year from
March and the county is to have an
option Of continuing it for five years
or any portion Thereof. The county
is not to be charged a cent for the
phones until connection with 800 other
phones in Duluth is given.
The following bids were made for
the county printing: Herald, commits

tion.
The board adjourned on "Wednesday
until Tuesday, January IL, without
awarding any of the bids. The Eve
leth Star, being the lowest on every
thing, is entitled to the county print
ing for the ensuing year. If the county
commissioners follow up their act Of
last year the lowest bidder will get the
work. Last year, however, the two
dailies were the lowest bidders and
this year they are the two highest,
whether that fact will make any diff
ference to the county commissioners
remains to be seen. The daily papers
are putting in some hard work on the
commissioners. ard the county Off
GERS at the court house who will be up
for reelection next fall are putting in

It is hardly probable that this same
board will care to go back on the pre-
cedent they set last fall by awarding
the printing to the highest; bidders.
In case they do 1T Will seem that the
dailies are to get, the printing let their
bids be high or low. 1t takes three
votes to award the work and the terms
of three commissioners expire next
fall. They are Williams, Kauppi and

the very fact that the law reads ''the

A strange story.

Ex-Representative Springer tells q
curious story that IS worthy Of inves-
tigation by the bureau Of ethnology.
He says that Creek Indian from In
dian Territory who was a member of
the Rough Riders, re-enlisted in the
regular army at the close of the Span
ish war and was sent to the Philippine
Islands. While campaigning with his
regiment in the southern part of the
archipelago he found a tribe of Malays
whose dialect was almost the same as
the aboriginal language Of the Creek
nation. He could understand them and
they could understand him without diff
ficulty, and he was able to act as in
terpreter for his officers with a tribe
he had never heard Of before.-Chicago

After the Octopus.

Uncle Nose Wetmore, of st. Louis,
who was connected for many years
with the Liggett & Myers Tobacco
company, is in the field again with a
new concern just organized. For years
Uncle Nose induced Liggett & Myers
to fight the tobacco trust, and so skill
fully was it managed by Uncle Nose
that the trust finally paid $14,00O,O0 for
the property, which was worth only
about $5,0OO,OO0. Uncle Nose has
started in again with a capital Of ST.

big corporation by associating some
small companies, and he is going gun
ming after the enemy. If Uncle Nose
catches the octopus he will spit to-
