GIFT FOR THE BOYS.

"A Buhl correspondent of the Hib-
bing News says that John Mewhin-
ney and James A. Loulan, of the
Drake & Stratton company, were
given pleasant surprise Thanks
giving evening. They were invited
to partake of supper at Goldman's
cafe, and arriving there found a
royal spread awaiting them. Being
in robust appetite they turned in
and did ample justice to the good
things, and as the feast neared it's
end the master of ceremonies arose
in his place and made a touching.
address aimed at Mr.. Mewhinney
recounting his weakness and his
strength, and concluded by present
ing to that gentleman beaver skin
overCOat, as token of the high es-
TEEN in which he is held by the en-
ployes of the Drake & Stratton Co
Then the speaker turned his atten-
ton to Mr.. Loulan, touching up his
foibles and good traits and then re-
gretting the fact that, while he had
wheels enough at date it was the
duty of his co-workers to push
good thing along, and handsome
gold watch was handed to the as
tonished man. After the presenta-
ton the recipients responded feel
ingly and then came on season
wherein wit and reason land few
other things) flowed merrily along.
The occasion was happy one for
all concerned, and Messrs. Mewhin-
ney and Lor1lan are deeply appreci-
atiVe, not alone of the handsome
gifts, but of the spirit that prompt
ed the act.

II $75,ooo Blaze.
Fire Destroys 100000 Feet of
Choice Lumber in Tower
Lumber Co. Yards.
A CLOSE CALL FOR THE TOWN,

A disastrous fire in the yards of
the Tower Lumber Company, at
Tower, on Saturday afternoon, wip-
ed out about 100000 feet of choice
lumber, valued by the company at
about $4,000. The first alarm was
turned in at shortly after p. m.,
and from then until late in the eve
ming the fire burned with ferceness,
the reflection of the blaze being
plainly discernible from Virginia
as late as nine o'clock.
The fremen and citizens worked
heroically to subdue the flames, but
the dryness of the timber and the
force of the wind rendered their
work futile 50 far as the saving of
the lumber was concerned, and the
fire was not stopped until it had
burned itself out of fuel. For sew
eral hours the wind was carrying
the charred cinders into the city
and general conflagration was
feared, but the shifting of the wind
relieved the situation.
The loss is said to have been par
TALLY covered by insurance. The
company's mill was saved and the
work of reconstructing tramways
and tracks, to be in readiness for the
saving season, will be commenced
at once

GOES TO FERGUS

James Flynn is the name of Bi-
wabik man who believes that CLOTH
ing is an unnecessary appurtenance
even in this northern cline. His
particular hallucination seems to
be that the spirit of the devil takes
delight in hiding in his garments,
and rather than come in such close
contact with an aide of Mephistoles
FLYNN would prefer to go without
clothing. He was adjudged insane
on Saturday and taken to Fergus
Fails on Monday. He was the third
patient sent from St. Louis county
in three days.-News Tribune.

An OftiC lal notice from G.. l.. Bald
win, as referee in bankruptcy, an
nounces that on the 3Oth day of No.
Vember, 1900, John B. Weimer was
duly adjudiCated a bankrupt, in tho
district court of the United States
tor the district of Utah. Notice is
also given that the first meeting of
his creditors will be held at the Of
flee of tn referee in the Commercial
Block at Salt Lake City, on the 10Th
day of December, to appoint trus-
tee, examine the bankrupt and tran
sact such other business as may
properly come before the meeting.
John B. Weimer is known on every
Lake Superior range, and has scin-
tillated between wealth and the poor
house many times. In the spring
of 1893 he opened the Ohio mine at
this point, and several Virginians
have ever since rued the day thev
met him. Since then he has been
reputed as millionaire, but neith-
err debts nor money seem to have
worried him and he has finally been
driven to the wall. The creditors
will get what is left, but we scarce
thing their pro rata shares will be
invested in government bonds.

At about nine o'clock Saturday
evening the fire alarm was sounded
for the first time since the big con-
tlagration of June 7th, the cause be-
ing blaze in the cottage of G. w.
Lundstrom, near the north end Of
Central avenue. The fire depart
ment quickly responded and the
fire, which had gained considerable
headway before it's discovery, was
quickly gotten under control. The
furniture was for the most part re-
moved from the burning building
and the damage was therefore not
great.

OUR POPU[ AT(ON

Director of the Census Merriam
has announced the population of
Minnesota cities or villages of over
1000 population. The report shows
Virginia as the leader of Mesaba
range towns, with a population of
1862. Hibbing is the only other
Mesaba town which raises the 1000
limit, it's population being recorded
as 2,48l. Ely, on the Ver,nilion, has
population of 3,7l2, while the viii
lage Of Two Harbors contains 3,278
souls. No other cities or VILLAGES
north of Duluth are included in the
list.
The census of Virginia, however,
is apt to have been somewhat defec-
tive, portion of the census being.
taken after the big fire of June 9TH,
rendering it almost impossible to
make proper count, scores of fam
lilies being left homeless for many
weeks. Since that time, also, there
have been great many new people
added to Virginia's population, who
were not included in the census as
taken.
