A Popular Measure.

The new money order plan adop ted
by the postoffice departmenl in April
last is proving very successful in the
country and the postoffice authorities
report that the business of that parti-
cular department. has increased from
20 to % per cent.
The present system Of handling the
orders is IA great improvement over
the old, because orders can be cashed
at any station or sub-station in the
United States, regardless of the town
upon which it is drawn. A money
order drawn in Buffalo, n. Y, on Ely,
for example, may be cashed in any
city or village in the country, where
there is a money order office. All the
government requires is that the hold
er of tile order be identified. Under
the old system an order had to be
cashed in the city upon which it was
| drawn.
The result of the departure has
been to increase the departments
business in that line to an enormous
extent, and it will continue to in
crease as the people become more
familiar with its advantages. Those
to whom it is especially convenient is
the travelling public. A travelling
man may have several money orders
made payable to himself before he
leaves his headquarters, for use on
the road. When he gets ready to
cash one. it is only necessary to go to
the postoffice of any town he might
be in to secure the money. Bank
drafts could be used, but more time
and ''red tape" would be required to
4 negotiate them.
The general money order business
of all offices has grown wonderfully
during the past few months. The
reason is that a number of improve
ments have been made in the system
and the people are commencing tC
realize that there is nothing so abso
lutely safe as a postoffice money order
A man may lose it or his receipt, but
upon Identifying himself may secure {

Second Annual Tournament of the
Vermilion-Mesaba Firemen's Associa-

ing the vast concourse of people who

More interest is being taken this
year ir the tournament as it now has
gone past the eXpe mental stage and
is an annual event of Importance.
Ely last year had the experiment and
pulled itself out with honorS. This
year Ely will go prepared and in IA
much better condition than last year
to give a good account of itself. The
department will go i'm a body with
the exception of few men who will
be left at home to attend to emergency
cases. The members of the depart

and Thos. e. Miller, as judge and
timekeeper respectively. Both are
gentlemen of ability and will give
satisfaction to all concerned.
Many of our citizens will accompany
the boys to Eveleth and considerable
confidence is placed in their ability to
hold their end up. The affair
promises to be one of unusual bril-
liancy and all who can should at
tend.

order may also be lost for several
years and then found, when it is
exactly as good as if drawn the same

cents for each 800 deposited.

able complaint is being made over
the conditions of the passages leading

highway known as the county road.
No work has been done on this much
ly Travelled road for many years and
although once in IL good condition,
the continued frosts Of winter have
raised the buried rocks until now il
is a hardship on horses, vehicles and

did an act which every good citizen in
town will endorse, syiz: giving our
efficient chief of the fire department,

IRELAND NOT FOR BRYAN.
THE ARCHBISHOP ANNOUNCES THAT
HE WILL VOTE FOR NKINLEY
AND ROOSEVELT

Archbishop Ireland. of Minnesota, before leav-
ing New-York for the West yesterday. came out
In strong statement for Mckinley and Roose-
welt. AS soon the Archbishop landed from
the Majestic early last week he was besieged
by inquiries as to how he intended to vote. A
number of clippings from Western Bryan papers
were shown him. in which it was asserted that
he was dissatisfied with the Administrations
policy in the Philippines and would support
Bryan. Archbishop Ireland was seen again yes
terday and asked to his choice of candidates
In reply, he gave out the following statement:
How do 1 intend to vote? 1t cannot at first
sight but seem more less impertinent for any
citizen to tell the public how he intends to vote.
In voting each citizen obeys the dictates of his
own sense Of civic duty; he should simply do
this and leave to others TO do likewise. How
ever, since certain number of newspapers have
undertaken to say how intend to vote and in
so doing have misinterpreted my intention, and
have not been unwilling to make political cap
ital out Of my supposed vote. will give to the
question How intend to vote?' a categorical
and unmistakable reply.

Theodore Roosevelt. In giving my vote for the
candidates of the Republican party 1 am salts
