The rumor that Mr.. Jay B. Dens.
more is to launch a new paper al
Eve1eth, given publicity some three
weeks ago, is not credited by the
craft, who accept the report as a
"stal1" to keep out aspiring journal
lists who might have their eye on an
open field.

The report that gambling was re-
opened at Eveleth during the tour
nament was an error, even though
the president was borrowing cash
to bet on the races.

IT is now nearly two weeks since
Paddy Bowling made application
to County Attorney Phelps for a
warrant for the arrest of Bro. Atkin-
son, of the Hibbing News. on a
charge of criminal libel, but thus
far we fail to hear of the warrant
having issued. Is it possible that
the County Attorney dare show
such disrespect for Paddy's pom
posity and disregard for his finer
feelings and social or moral stand
ing as would be implied by refus-
al to grant his demand? It would
seem so.

1T is not for the purpose of giving
someone job that county division
gets it's backing, but the move is
instigated and will be fostered with
the idea of having the tax moneys
OF the ranges expended upon the
ranges, in roads and other neces-
sary improvements. The ranges
pay nearly one-half the taxes of ST..
Louis county, and receive about
one-half of one per cent of the ben
efts.

PERMANENT INJUNCTION  Eranted r. N. Altschul in the
 Baughman Case.

A Very interesting decision was made Ny Chancellor John NJ. Elliott recently in the case Of r. M. Altschul vs. \. BaVghman.
 It seemsAthat Mir. Altschul has for several yeArs manufactured and placed on tha market cigar known as the "speNal." This cigar has grown to be one Of the most favorite brands he offers tor sale and on ae- count of the superior quality of the cigar 1t has met large sales.
 The label which eNhas formulated and designed is very Attractive and readily noticed by the nurchaser,
 Mir Baughman evidently realizing the popularity of this brand of cigars, very eleyely initiated the Altsehul label and began the sale of q cigar known as Specials
 The court holds that he had no right to do this and ep1oined him from doing so. X temporary iniunc- tion was granted Altschul several months ago, but Chancellor Elliott Saturday made the injunction per- Detual

Little Rock, Nov. 1.-The follow ing self explanatory document was issued today:
 To the Teachers of Arkansas.
 The Southern Educational Associa- tion meets In Richmond. Fa., De- cember 27 %, 1900. The highest aim of any teacher ie, not 70 instill into his pupil the most thorough and adequate knowledge of all that tue text book may contain, though this is well, but to develop in him an 1 abiding and increasing desire to de- velop into that highest type of char. acter, a well rounded, patriotic American citizen.
 While there are educational ques- tons that are national in their scope 1 it is eminently true that there are grave problems confronting the l South with regard to its educational future. and it ia enlinentiy proper that her teachers should study to- gether these questions and endeavor | Nt tAia Nath pAhIA III aAi GU iiiEiI solution.
 Considering the odds that are l against us-the lack of sufficient revenue to run loag term schools, and pay adequate salaries to our teachers; the necessity of eievoting at least one fourth of our school reve- nues to pay for the education Of q tlass that pays less than one-twens tieth to the school tax, the extent of. sparsely settled areas. thus causing many children to be depriv- ed oI school advantages we are doing Ii great work, but we can do more. and Tuothing Is more conducive to prog tress in any line of york than the help that grows out of the maet- ing together of those whose callang Is the same, and who are anxious to excel In thelr special line.
 Last year at the Memphis meeting Arkansas had the largest Ut tendance ot any State except Tennessee. We trust that the record once estab- lished shall not be lowered, ana that the generous eilizena gf the capital city of the "0la Dominion may have opDertuoity to welcome to their mlfist very many of our wor~ thy teachers.

MAdIsfRATE's s oENsURED

I've hnd that the magistrates have made their reports according to law. We find, however, that the magistrates are careless as to the expense they throw on the county, and we would suggest they be more dilieent and careful in the examina- tion of witnesses in felony cases and recognize to appear before the grand jury only those witnesses who can testify to material facts in the case examined. The observance of this duty will greatly eurtail the expense of the grand jury.
 I've complain bitterly of the custom of the magistrates in the matter of recognizing witnesses who are not conversant with 8 sln- ole material fact in the case exam ined to appear before the grand jury. We have examined many witnesses who should not have been recognized to come before us. We therefore urge in order to facilitate the business of the grand jury and te avoid useless expense to the county"
 The jurors, in their report. thank ed the county and district officials for services rendered taem while in session. Mr. Gabe Meyer was foreman and Mir. Simon Bloom clerk of the jury.

 COUNTY CONVICT FARM.
 We visited Graee's farm on the lst of October, and remained there until the morning of the 3rd.
 We found the convicts quarters reasonably clean and in good con- dition, there being about thirty eonviets there; they were well clothed and fed aud seemed to be in good health and well treated. We found everything connected there with in such condition as to ad- nit of no just complaint" /"

The Hall in the Grove of Lincoln is
one OF the most progressive clubs in the
state. Although not large. it is interest
ed in all large movements. Proof Of this
was given at the last meeting when it
unanimously decided to join both state
aud general declarations. That makes
the sixth club from Lincoln that has re-
solved TO have voice in the general
federation. Two or three more are con-
sideripg the matter and we hope the
number will be Increased to at least ten
before the Nebraska delegation starts
for Milwaukee the first week in June.
The question of reorganization which
will be voted upon at this biennial
makes this the most important conven-
ton yet held by the general federation.
Club women should be anxious to ex-
press their choice for president. One
prominent candidate. Mrs. ID. n. G.
Brock of Pennsylvania, has at least
shown her unfitness for the place by the
pIdSttCol u-tnOuctioUtOu ", hCi
to act as chairman OF d committee in
which there were two strongly opposing
elements existing. There is an unwrit-
ten code which forbids the using of Off
cial position to influence votes. But by
press and pamphlet this candidate en-
phasized her Gpinious on reorganization.

cate her position on this most vital quee-
ton, while the election of Mrs. Brock
means the exclusion of the six hundred
and fifty individual clubs which now
largely compose the general federation.
