D. M. & N. SLIGHTLY LESS.
The Duluth K Iron Range railway
is fairly outdoing itself in ore ship
ments this season. Shipping did
not get fairly under way until the
middle of June, yet, at the close. of
September the road had forwarded
nearly 100000 more tons from the
Two Harbors docks than for the
corresponding period a year ago.
September's shipments were 74061l
tons. For the corresponding month
a year ago the shipments am mounted
to 553,97O tons. +. ."=~>
The seasons shipments up to the
end OF September were 3,S54, ,438 tons
against 3,181,17 tons for the cores
ponding period in 1900.
The shipments by the Duluth,
Missabe 4 Northern railway for
September were only 1864 tons, as
against 3,2O7 ,436 tons in September.
1900.
The shipments for the season up
to the close of September were g.
636,3l4 tons, as against $780,, ,436 tons
for similar period in 1900.
The shipments of ore from the
Eastern Minnesota docks at Super
ior for the season to Oct.1 were, in
round numbers, 100000 tons. This
is an increase of about 10000 tons
over the record for the same date
a year ago. The Eastern's figures
are estimated.
The head of the lakes ore docks;
show a clean increase of 464,139
tons in shipments over the cores
ponding period last year. Consid-

shipments will continue free to the

OF ARCHIE BEAURDREAU.

AT an early hour Sunday morn

smith in the employ of the Tower
Lum ber company, was killed in the
Senate saloon at Tower by Bert
Brooker. former employe Of the
Moon & Kerr and w. 7. Bailey Lum-
Der companies at this point, but re-
Gently night bartender at the place
where the trouble occurred.
It seems that Beaurdreau and
friend of his had come to town the
night previous, and Beaurdreau
had imbibed too freely and went to
the Senate and wanted to fight with
the barkeeper. Beaurdreau made
several attempts to go behind the
the bar to assault the bartender;
when he told him to keep back from
behind the bar, as that was no place
for him. He did this several times,
and was told that the next time he
came back of the bar he would get
into trouble. He would not mind
his instructions, and made another
attempt to go behind the bar, when
Brooker told him to get out and
struck him with his fist, knocking
him to the floor. Brooker thought
at first that he was only knocked
out and, in company with three
others who were on the scene of the
tragedy, helped to pick him up and
carry him into the back room. In
a short while after they went back
to see how he was and discovered
that he was dead.
Brooker on discovering he had
killed Beaurdreau gave himself up
to the police when he was taken to
the city hall and placed in the lock-
up to await trial.

bar room at the time of the trag
edy. He testified that Beaurdreau
was somewhat drunk and made
several attempts to enter behind
the bar to fight the bartender. He
did that repeatedly when the bar
tender put him out from behind
each time. Finally the bartender
met him at the end of the bar and
struck at him with his fist on the
side of the head in such a manner
as to put him to the floor. Both
the other witnesses had the same
story to tell.
The coroner's jury decided thai
Beaurdreau met his death either b,
the blow from Brokers list or the
fall on the floor. Brooker waived

pleaded not guilty. He was bounG

HE.1 YER CALLS FOR OICE.

The Iron Trade Review says: The
endings of the steel strike has
brought heavier calls for ore ship
mentsSto furnaces recently out of
blast and the railroads are unable
to get ore to the. furnaces fast
enough to suit consumers. The
slight reduction made in the ship
ping program of the United States
Steel Corporation few weeks ago
may yet be made up part, though
it was not of any great moment in
the first instance. It is understood
that GAINESVILLE furnace, of the Ma
tional Steel company, which it was
intended to blow out when the ores
on hand were used up, will now be
kept in blast indefinitely. Ship
mentsSof ore from all parts contin-
ue heavy and it is entirely likely
that new record in the vicinity of
the M00Oy yOO-ton mark will be made
this year. Purchases of ore in a
small way have continued through
the month, but the call has been
greater for non-Bessemer grades.
The merchant furnac etnen running
on Bessemer have no assurance of
a purchaser for their iron beyond
Nov. Iand naturally are still very
conservative in their ore buying.
& C4N USE 900 MEN.
President ". H. Cook, of the Du-
luth, Virginia & Rainy River rail
road, in conversation with News
Tribune reporter last evening, said:
Weshave about 400 men, and we
will take 800 more just as fast as
they will come. We will transport
them 70 Virginia and, as for wages,
we expect to pay as much as anyone
for thM kind of work. When grad,
ling ll,stssdownethere
will be plenty of logging and tic
work. Then, in the spring, when
the labor in the woods is completed
grading will be resumed. Here is a
chance for men who want work tc
get it where it will last year o,
two. We have very little rock work
hence our demand for rock men is
not great. We have already occu
pied our headquarters in the Mesa
ba block, and that is the place fo1
those who want work on our new
line to apply.
1--WE have had enough steel bough
for some time to lay eleven miles O.
track. We have just secured ir
Minneapolis enough more to lay
twenty miles. That insures stee
for thirty-one miles of road, if thu
grading can be done, and we pro
pose to see that it is done. The raj
market is not as tight as it was.
"We have purchased 1900 ceda1
and tamarack ties, and this winte,
will cut 25OyOOO more to be used or
our road. We are forwarding sup
plies daily to Virginia. Three
camps are in on the first division O
ten miles, and two more will be pu
in at once"

committee or Hopkins bill, to 1856.
The result was largely brought about
by the influence of certain Senators
from several of the larger States, who
threw the weight of their influence
in the scale in favor of the larger
membership.
When it became apparent tia t
these factors were at work against
his bill, Mr.. Hopkins attempted to
compromise by giving an additional
Representative each to North Da-
kota, Colorado and Florida, but ad-
versaries refused to compromise
after complete victory was assured.
The Crumpacker proposition to re-
commit the bill for the purpose of
ascertaining what states abridged the
right to vote to an extent which
would entail reduced representation
was defeated-130 to 10. There
was no roll call on the vote, but
number of Republicans voted with
the Democrats.
Under the bill, as passed today, no
State loses Representative, and the
following make gains: Illinois, New
York, Texas, three each; Minnesota,
New Jersey and Pennsylvania, two
each; Arkansas, California, Colorado,
Connecticut, Florida, Louisiana, Mas
sachusetts, Mississippi, Missouri,
North Carolina, North Dakota,
Washington, West Virginia and
Wisconsin, one each.
The bill provides that whenever a
new State is admitted the Repre-
sentative assigned to it shall be in
addition to the number provided in
the bill. 1t also adds a provision,
never hitherto incorporated in a re-
apportionmenu bill, to the effect that
Congressional districts, in addition
to being contiguous" shall also be
''compact." States which are allowed
additional Representatives by the bill
shall by its terms elect them at large
until the Legislature shall redistrict
the States. d

constant supply of suitable books and
papers at home will double the child's
ability to read, and consequently in
crease his power to learn at school
in the same proportion. If you
doubt it; ask any teacher of expert

He should drink in the thoughts
from the printed page through the

should become a second nature

Now, skill in any line comes only
through practice. "Practice makes

enables your child to take in line al

his ideas a word or two at time. A

to cover the ground over which his

Florida Members Pleased.

Washington, January s. The
Florida members are we'll pleased
over the vote Oh the reapportionment

three instead of two Congressman.
The Florida members of the House,
if the secret be told, did not really
stand to, lose even by the Hopkins
bill, an amendment to that measure
increasing the House membership
TO 36O and thus including Florida
among the States to gain a member)
having been made and adopted just
prior to the substitution of the Bur-
leigh bill, which had a like effect for
Florida. The bill as passed is the
Hopkins bill, amended to embrace
Mr.. Burleigh's views. The vote was
really a Burleigh victory. The
measure provided for a House men,

Messrs. Sparkman and Davis,
while they did not participate exten-
sively in the exciting debate, watched
closely the measure, and by judicions
management assured to Florida,
without making enemies of either
he Hopkins or Burleigh factions, a
third Congressman. If the bill be-

entail upon the Florida Legislature
is that Of making provision as to how
