ALL GOING TO THE CIRCUS.

Everybody is talking about Ring
ling Bros famous big circus which
is to exhibit in Duluth on Friday,
July 26. Several big excursions will
go from this vicinity and the popu-
larity of the show will insure an
enormous crowd. People from this
locality should make an especial ef-
fort to arrive in time to see the new
free street carnival which precedes
the exhibition every morning at 10
o'clock. The procession is divided
into thirty enormous sections, each
of which is a complete parade, and
presents in it's entirety a bewilder-
ingly magnificent two-mile carnival
of Pageantry such as the world has
never seen: In this gorgeous dis
play are shown over 100 beautiful
dens and cages of wild animals, 500
horses, 80 elephants and nearly a
thousand people, and the costumes
throughout are of the finest silks,
satins and cloth of gold. The per
Torrance that follows is the most
magnificent arenic display ever pre-
sented by any circus in America.

u. S. STEEL co. BUYS ZENITH.
A dealhas just been completed
at Ishpeming, reports the Duluth
News Tribune of yesterday, where
by the fee of the Zenith mine at Ely
passes into the hands of the United
States Steel company. The consid-
Grafton is not known but it is very
desirable property, though the ex-
tent of the ore deposit is said to be
not great as compared with many
other underground mines of North
ern Minnesota. The principal own
ers of the fee of this property were
S. S. Cugry, of Ishpeming, and Rob
ert B, Whiteside, of Duluth. Out
side of HIS interest the fee was vest
ed largely in the Harvey Iron CON-
pany, composed principally of Mich
igan men, including Mr.. Curry.
The United States Steel company
controlled the Zenith mine through
its Oliver Iron Mining company,
which obtained lease of the prop
erty about two years ago. 1t is said
also that the Oliver company own
ed oneftenth interest in the fee of
the property. The terms of the Oil
yer LEASE were 2o-cent royalty and
minimum output of $1,000 tons a
year. ].
The action of the United States
Steel company in purchasing the
fee of the Zenith mine occasions
some speculation as to whether it
denotes p policy or whether the
companyhas taken it for some par
ticular reasons. The Oliver Iron
Mining company, long before it
went into the steel corporation,
sought IS buy the fee of the Zenith,
but terms could not be agreed upon
and the deal was abandoned. The
United States Steel company con-
trolls all the mines on the Vermil-
ion ranggSb but the Zenith is the only
one ther4 Ito which it owns the fee.

INVESTS At TIE CANADIAN 500

Gen. P. w. Scott recently purchas-
ed tract of land comprising near
ly forty acres within the corporate
limits of the Canadian 500, which
he is now having plated and will
shortly place on the market.
Mr.. Scott says this comparatively
new town has great future assur-
ed, the new steel mills and other
manufacturing enterprises already
furnishing employment to several
thousand men. The property pur-
chased is very desirably located,
and many lots in the new plat have
already been spoken for. 1t is his
intention to temporarily reserve
every other lot, placing his reserv-
ed holdings on the market at a later
date.

Sunday Closing.
Mayor Thompson, Issues Or
ders For All Business
Places
TO CLOSE ON SABBATH.

On Wednesday afternoon Chief
Wiggen, acting under instructions
from Mayor A. N. Thompson, serv-
ed official notice upon all saloon
keepers to in future close their pla-
ces of business at eleven o'clock on
week day nights and to keep closed,
strictly, all day Sunday.
The latter order, modified to suit
the business, was served upon all
men, including ice cream parlors,
livery stables, clothing and dry
goods merchants, grocers-and in
fact everyone from the peanut VEN
dor to the mercantile magnate, and
in consequence Virginia gives
promise of being not only an aw-
fully dry town on Sunday, but
highly respectable place as we'll.
The action of Mayor Thompson
naturally excites some curiosity,
and speculation upon the cause of
this strict reverse policy is rite, but
of course the only right cause must
be ascribed to his official sense of
duty, to his official sense of honor, to
his love of law-and his desire,
from the purity of his own soul, to
see that all people obey the law as
it is written or as it may be inter-
preted.
Such being the case the order
will likely be enforced as strictly
as possible and is more than apt to
remain in operation until it's repeal,
| annulment or setting aside.

HUMPHREYS EXCUSES AN
ALYZED.

Coming, then, to the question of YER
acity so clearly raised by Judge Hum
phreys, the point to be considered is
whether or not the Chronicle printed a
knowing fake, used with malice an in
correct interview with a man, placing
him in false light before the people.
To those who have for many years read
the Chronicle, read and believed in it
before this man who impeaches the
honesty of the journal had come to this
Territory, his statement will not be &C
copied at once. The paper has in this
city a correspondent who keeps it fully
and accurately informed as to goings
on of the community. The Chronicle
had full knowledge of all that had been
doneSfn connection with the Grand Jury
workings and was in a position to know
what to expect from Judge Humphreys.
For six days on the voyage from this
port the Judge was accompanied by a
man. in the regular employment of the
paper, a man to whom undoubtedly the
judge opened his heart more and more
each day.
But if one must believe that a great
journal would be likely to prostitute its

ALL CAN VOTE.

The question has been discussed
considerably since the opening Of
the spring campaign, as'to the me-
cessity of having paid the poll tax
to enable one to vote in the April
election. To positively settle the
matter, Hon. John H. Poe asked
tile opinion of Attorney General
Guion and received the following
reply:
New Orleans. Ia, Jan. Is. 1901.
Hon. John H. Poe, Lake Charles. La.
My dear Sir:-I have your letter
Of 23rd inst, and in reply will say
that it is not necessary, in order
for an elector to be permitted to
vote at a municipal election, or any
other election during the present
year, that he should have paid his
poll tax for the past two years.
1t was decided by the Supreme
Court in the case of state exrel
Ball vs.. Cain, 50 A., p. 2lt0 that
the payment of the poll tax, re-
quired by the constitution, could
not be exacted Is q prerequisite
to the exercise of the right to vote
until the year 1902.
In other words, no voter is de-
MED the right to vote by reason
of failing to pay his poll taxes nn-
til the year 1902.

Rice Irrigation Tests.
ssuesr's PlantSr Journal.

Good results of the Rice Gro W.
ers' Convention, held at Lake
Charles recently, are already be-
ing shown by the interest that the
United States Department of Agri-
culture has taken in the all impor-
tant subject Of rice irrigation.
Mr.. Frank Bond, an expert, sent
by the Agricultural Department
to Louisiana to experiment on the
amount of water that lands will
have to be flooded with, in order
to successfully grow crop of rice,
has started to work by studying
the different irrigation plants in
The rice belt and has settled on
Crowley as the location Of the ex-
pertinent station.
Within the next few months all
arrangements will have been COM
pleted, and work begun on this
important branch of agriculture,
hitherto done without knowledge
as to the exact water requirements
ofrice. In conducting these ex-
periments Mr.. Bond will carefully
measure out his land and keep ac-
curate account of the cubic feet of
water that the various plots are
flooded with. The rainfall is also
to be taken into consideration as
well as the amount of evaporation.
This data will be kept during the
entire flooding season, covering a
period of about two and a half
months. As the different plots OF
ground will receive varying
amounts of water, instructive CON-
parison as Of the rice yield can be
made. After the harvesting sea.
son the quality; and quantity Of
yields will be taken into consider
alton and farmers will then be in.
structed as TO the correct volume
of water required, under ordinary
conditions, to raise the best maxi.
mum crop of rice. Much good
will undoubtedly be effected b,
imparting such information, fol
as irrigation is now practiced
many farmers either food tot
much or too little. and oft-timel
makes mistakes. Such errors viii
certainly be ameliorated after the
results of Mr.. Bonds experiments
are made known.
