Forfeited Tax Law.

The question as to how much the
owner of property will have to pay to
redeem same after it has been sold
for taxes at the forfeiture sale of 1899
was argued before the supreme court
Monday by Attorney General Doug
las, at st. Paul, on behalf of the state.
and Sylvester Depp, of Ramsey
county, on his own behalf. The de-
cision will make a difference of thou
sands of dollars to St. Louis county
and many more thousands to other
counties throughout the state.
The question at issue was whether
the party redeeming land from the
forfeiture sale shall pay only 80 per
cent of the taxes, the amount it was
bid in for. or the full taxes, with pen
atty and interest.
The attorney general cOntended
that the redeeming party should pay
all the taxes due, with penalty and
interest added. Kipp was contending
for the privilege of redeeming the
property for SO per cent Of the taxes.
The court took the case under adj
visement. The lower court, it will
be remembered, decided against the
state.

So PER YEAR IN ADVANCE,

the long distance rate of Coo. for three
minutes talk with Duluth was eX-
horbitant in view of the fact that $50
year was the local rate for instru-
ments. The council believed that
the only benefits to accrue from Il
telephone system would be in connec-
lions with outside points and there
fore the rates could be cut down. A
special committee was appointed to
confer with Mr.. Owens which after
talking the matter over reported that
no satisfactory terms could be made
and recommended the matter be
dropped. Two other propositions of
the same nature are yet before the
council from local parties, but as the
d. & I. r. holds the key to the situa-
tion in the long distance line, these
will probably be disposed of in a SINH
liar manner.

Tower VS.. Ely Sunday.

Next Sunday the Lase ball season
will opened in this city with a game
between Tower and Ely. The Tower
boys will arrive on special train at
about noon and will be met at the
train with a band and escorted to the
hotels. The game will be called at
2:3O. The Tower team is an excep-
tonally strong aggregation and the
game will be one worth seeing as the
Ely boys are also recognized as
strong. Admission to the grounds
will be 25c. Everybody turn out and
give the boys rOusing send-off on
this their first game on the home
grounds.

The City Council.

The city fathers met Tuesday even
ing and transacted much important
business. The finance committee re-
ported on many bills which were al
lowed. An agreeable change has been
made in the workings of this commit
tee. Instead of referring the bills to
the committee after the meeting, all
accounts are passed on before the
meeting of the council and much de-
lay in the prompt payment of accounts
is done away with.
The telephone franchise question
was discussed at length, ThOs. Owens
who asked for the franchise being
present. He was accompanied by
John P. Shea. The council held thai

agement will lay off five hundred men
at once and close all the shafts on the
Osceola lode. 1t is probable that the
closing down will last for some time,
though the Calumet and Hecla proper

1t is understood that the closing of

Sundays Game.

Those who went to Tower Sunday
to witness the Tower-Ely ball game
were amply repaid. as the game was
one of the best that has been PLAYED
in this country. Outside Of the first
inning, on each side. when several
errors were made and several runs
scored, the game was one OF unusual
interest to the spectators. Another
feature which made it successful was
the scarcity of "chin music" which
has been on several occasions 4 most
disgusting feature. Umpire Hughes
made his decisions in straightfor-
ward manner and always had the
rules to back him on questions Of i'm
pOrtance. The life of base ball UNI
pire is not lined with roses by any
means, but Mr.. Hughes received many
compliments Sunday.
The Ely boys went to bat first and
succeeded in securing two scores while
Tower scored three in their half of
the inning. In the fifth inning Ely
again secured one while Tower did
not get d mark until the eight and
ninth when they scored one in each
inning making their score 5. Ely
made three more in the eighth and
their score stood e. In the ninth in
ming the excitement ran high as Tow
er had the bases full and it only re-
quired a run to tie the score. Several
wild plays were made in this inning
on the part of the Ely boys but not
outstanding the tie run was not Sc

battery for Ely and O'Connors and

!ceptionally fine stroke of throwing as

Wnicn might unhappily overtake the
inexperienced or the venturesome. The
waters of Lake Michigan are cold, and
only when an east wind rolls it's sun
heated surface in upon the shadows of
the western shore is it really adapted
for pleasure bathing.
Public appreciation of this new
found luxury-and tacit condemna-
ton of the civic stupidity which had
so long denied 1t to the people, it's
real owners--was evidenced at once
in the vast popularity these free bath
ing beaches leaped into in an in
slant and continued to hold until the
nipping air of fall rendered undress
disporting on the sands no longer a
pastime and joy. Hundreds of thou
sands of visitors, the records show,
partook of their advantages during
the brief season.
1t was at the most frequented of all
these beaches so opened to public use
that young Elmer Armstrong, uni
versity matriculant, whose legacy had
been a stout heart and ambition to
rise, a strong body and the hardy con-
stitution bequeathed by sturdy for
bears, a pure mind and intrepid reso-
luton. He had, besides, a widows
blessing and couple of hundred dol
lars he had earned as an amateur life
saver before he became a freshman at
10.
Not much you will say, when 1t
must be reckoned that this was alb
solutely all he had in the world, be-
yond the dear memory of how his
mother had loved him. and had toiled
long that he might go through the
high school. Well, there are those
verse equipped, many men whose
whose seed are trial and experience
would prefer Elmer Armstrong; cap
ital of youth and courage and hope
and loyalty to two hundred times two
hundred dollars in the bank, without
those things. 1t wasn't the pawn
brokers, but the youth who were swift
and strong, whom the ancients crown
ed with laurel.

The queen of the medieval fete had ban
tered Lord Francis to chase after the
glove she had wantonly thrown into
the arena among ferocious collection
of man-eating lions, the active and as
tute Lord Francis lightly leaped''
down to the arena sands, deftly snatch
ed up the lady's glove before the aston

was up to, climbed nimbly back to mis-
seat by the fair 1ady's side, and then

The poet fails to inform us upon
the point, but one can imagine that
after this there were no wedding bans
for the fair ladye and Lord Francis,
IL,
that she was exceedingly sore about it,
and repented her folly at leisure.
There may be different mental atti-
tudes regarding the propriety of this
tempestuous conduct of Lord Francis,
some, no doubt, contending that no
true gentleman would under any stress
of irritating circumstances return to
a lady her glove by throwing it sharp
" into her face, and that this breach
of decorum at once stamped the knight
as a boorish- and racous-
minded person, whose name should be
stricken from the blue book of his day;
but it appears to be a majority point
of view that the lady was served ex-
actly as she deserved, and that if she
went unmarried to the end of her days
she received only such measure as she
meted. And strangely enough, it is
the ladies' themselves who must ar
IDENTIFY uphold this latter view of
the case.
In the midsummer of this first year
of our newest century, the big city of
Chicago, stirred by the public spirit of
a generous citizen, discovered in sud-
denness what had been a readily ap-
parent fact for three whole genera
tions-that its far-stretching shore of
sandy beach and cooling water was a
heritage of the people, and had not
been designed by nature as a riparian
asset for land-grabbing corporations or
an easy dumping spot for the refuse
Of contractors. Accordingly. private
means having furnished the equip
ments of which the civic purse had de-
MED, or never thought of, there were
established all along the shore, from
the mouth of the sedgy Calumet to
far Lake View, public bathing beaches,
provided with convenient dressing

From top OF Doom; over lao teet

The original sail area of the Ameri-
ca is not known; probably II was about
half Columbia's. Her draught was
greatest just at the rudder- post. Her
cutwater was fine. and her midship Sec
ton had scarcely been improved upon
up to the introduction of the nm keel
which for cruising at least is no inn
provement. Her sails were the best ever
seen in England and fitted NAT.
The America crossed to France in
twenty-one days and was refitted, for
greater secrecy, in Havre. Her speed
having been noted, it was impossible
to arrange for her any match races. In
the regatta off Cowes, which she final
ly entered eighteen yachts took part
ranging from the cutter Aurora, of AZ
tons, to great three-masted schooner
of 1872 tons. There was no time allow
ance. The course was around the Isle
of Wight, a treacherous lane of flawy
winds and intricate, fierce tides; and IL
took the victor nearly eleven hours to
sail over 1t, the little Aurora being sec
ond. The America lost her jbtopsail
early in the race.
