New Years Ball.

One of the most pleasant events
that has transpired in Ely for a con-
siderable time was the ball given at
the Vail hotel Tuesday evening. The
committee who had the arrangements
in hand had done their duty and the
result was an evening long to be re-
membered. About forty couples were
present among which were people
from Tower and Winton. The din
lug room had been beautifully decor
ated with green's and when at 9:3o
Wagner's orchestra of six pieces, play
ed the first number, the floor was
filed with a representative throng OF
merry-makers.A w. B. Goldsworthy
did the prompting. Al IL cciocS d
delicious lunch was served to which
all paid homage. Everyone present
enjoyed themselves and when at 2:3C
O'Clock the party broke up it was with
the wishes of speedy REPETITION.

Calumet and Hecla Raises Wages.

The employees of the Calumet and
Hecla will, dating from the first of
the year have their wages raised 81
per cent. Counter to that the assess
ments for the employees aid fund will
be renewed. The company increased
the pay of it's men little over year
ago. At that time much higher
observation-disclosures given. The an
announcement of the recent raise was
made short time ago, and the min
ers and other wOrkmen about the
company's property will in month IS
time receive the best wages that have
ever been paid to them.
Owing to the renewal of dues that
will have to be paid into the relief
| fund the increase in wages is more
than appreciated by the men. 1t will
amount to d little more than the as.
sessments that will be remitted
During the past four years the surplus
in the fund and dividends from the
stock in which the money was invest
ed have paid all necessary expenses
The fund is getting low, however, an6
hence the renewal of dues. Married
men will pay S1.30 and single men 81
cents each month.

Iron Range Passengers.

1t is said that the Duluth s. Iron
Range road, one of the shortest run
ming into Duluth, handles more pas
sengers every day than any other
road here. There may not be as
many dollars in the trains, perhaps as
on some Of the trains, carrying fewer
passengers and running longer dis
tances, nevertheless, from the stand
point Of numbers the Iron Range is
said to hold the record at present.
The average number of passengers
carried on the Iron Range passenger
trains is about 250 per train. or 500 q
day. The estimated number of pas
sengers departing and arriving at the
union depot is 5000 day, and in adj
dition to that is the Omaha depot
business. There are % passenger
trains in and out of the union depot
every day, which isan average of los
passengers per train. The Missabe
road does heavy range passenger
traffic, as we'll as the Iron Range road
and business with both lines is par
ticularly good just now.-News-Tri-

alton leading her to believe he was In
that city. She said that she had left
him conducting a saloon in Ely about
two months before. when she went to
Michigan to visit relatives. Shortly
after her departure she failed to hear
from him, and when she finally re-
turned to Ely her husband had gone.
She was told that he had left for Hib-
bing, and she made her way to that
place. When she arrived she found
that he was not there, either, but had
gone to Two Harbors. Reaching Two
Harbors, a similar story Of Mr.. Rody' s
departure was given her, Der inform
ers there saying they thought he had
gone to Duluth. Then she went
there, but the search for her missing
husband was as fruitless as before.
While there however, Mrs. Rody had
the advantage Ct being with relatives.
Mrs. John Dunphy, of GIT Fourth
avenue east. Duluth, is her aunt, and
she has remained with her. Recently
however her actions have been SO
peculiar, and she was so clearly I'M
balanced. that it was deemed advis-
able to have her taken care of at an
asylum.

liant success. Each member of the

the evening by piano selection and
later also favored the party with some
choice vocal music. G. L. Newberry

ectors of the Minnesota Iron COM
pany. held in Chicago last Monday.
the resignation of Don H. Bacon as
president was accepted, to become
effective Jan. 10, and Mr.. Greatsinger
was elected to succeed him. The
news became public in Duluth Tues
day and all day Wednesday Mr.. Great
singer was kept busy receiving the
congratulations of his numerous
friends in Duluth and the range
towns.
President Greatsinger owes his adj
vancement to his personal enterprise
and push. He became active in rail-
road business in 1869 when he started
in by firing an engine on the Erie
road. During the succeeding Is years
Mr.. Greatsinger occupied at different
times and places the positions of ma
chinist. engineer, trainmaster, road
master, train dispatcher, station
agent, master mechanic and superin-
tendent. In 1886 he came west as
master mechanic of the Chicago &
Indiana Coal Railway company, own
ed by H. H. Porter, and now part of
the Chicago & Eastern Illinois sys-
tenn, When FL. III. Porter, the pres
ent chairman of the executive COM
mittee of the Federal Steel, and his
associates obtained control of the
Iron Range road, Mr.. Greatsinger
was soon after transferred to Duluth
TO take the position of master me-
chanic, i'm 1888. His advancement
from this position to that of president
was rapid. In 1890 he was made
superintendent, and in the spring of
1892 was appointed general manager.
at the annual meeting of the road
held in the summer of the same year,
Mr.. Greatsinger was elected president
to succeed NJ j. Carpenter, who is

Taxes come due next Monday, and
the owners of property will be called
upon to pay UP their share of the ex-
pense OF maintaining free govern
ment. The sums the taxpayers will
be assessed for represent share of
the cost of state government and
states schools. city government and
city schools, township government
and county schools, the maintenance
OF the courts, etc. The school taxes
are the largest single item, after
which would probably come the court
expenses, the salaries of public en-
ployes, care of public roads and
public poor. and other items.
At the same time that the taxes for
1900 come due the taxes for 1899,
which came due year ago, and have
not yet been paid, become delinquent,
and an additional penalty of per
cent goes on with the 10 per cent that
was added either June l or Nov.1. If
the property involved is already i'm
judgment for taxes the delinquency
will be added and interest will begin
to run at the rate of IL per cent per
annum. If the property is not in
Judgment it will be put in Judgment
Immediately, and will go into the de-
liquent sale i'm May.
Both real and personal property
taxes become due Monday, but the
penalty for non-payment comes sooner
on the personal property taxes shan
on the realty taxes. The real estate
taxes may be paid any time before
June without penalty. but on June
|, if the taxes are not paid, penalty
of 10 per cent goes into effect. Half
of the tax. however, may be paid be-
fore June and the other half before
Nov. ! without penalty. If the first
half is paid before June /, and the
second half is not paid before Nov. l,
a penalty goes on the unpaid half
Nov. l. If unpaid, the tax becomes
delinquent on the first Monday in
January 1902, when tue further pen
atty of per cent goes on. to be fol-
lowed by judgment and interest at
per cent a month.
The penalty on personal property
taxes, goes on March l if they are not
paid before that time The penalty
is 10 per cent as in the case of the
real estate taxes. If the taxes are
not paid by March l the penalty goes

over to the clerk of the district court,
who, about March Is, issues citations
to be served by the sheriff upon the
delinQuents, requiring them to an-
swer at the coming term of district
court or have judgment entered
against them. Then the judgments,
are turned over to the sheriff to COL
lect. and the law requires them to use
every effort to collect them, even to.
seizing property of the delinquent to-
satisfy the claim. Each of these pro-
cesses is expensive, SO the property
owner will save money by paying his
taxes before March l, as 5he penalty,

nitlcant tax up to comparatively
large amount.

so well that we would not be surprised
if they were invited out again this

Martin, who made his debut before the
Denison public and who made a very
favorable impression on his hearers,
were the features of the evening.
The great game of conversation was
carried on all the evening with hardly
a lull. Refreshments were served in
the normal dining room by a bevy of
attractive young girl students of the
college.
We trust that the acquaintance so
pleasantly begun will ripen into friend

direction.

Our democratic friends smile a know
ing smile when it is said to them that
the Irish democrats are mad at the
way they were turned down at the
county convention. They have been
acting on the principle that no matter
how mad In Irishman may get after a
convention he is sure to vote the demo-
cratic ticket when he gets to the polls.
1t is this belief which has led the dem
ocratic bosses to overlook the interets
of the Irish portion of our county.
Whether the bosses are right or wrong
remains to be proven at the next cleo
ton. If the bosses are right it may well
be expected that the Irish will receive
no better treatment next year than
this.
