Liens on the Property.

Judge of Probate Bonham has re-
ceived a certified copy of a new law,
or rather an amendment to an old
one just passed by the legislature that
is of interest. Heretofore when a
man died leaving property against
which there was judgement mort
cages or membranes of a similar
nature, these did not affect the dover
right of the widow according to tile
holding of the supreme court and she
could claim her third nOtwithstand-
ing the membranes. The law as
amended does away with this, and
these liens will attach without regard
to the widows right.

Grand Master Alex Van Praag met
with Ely Lodge No. 220 last evening

by Winn Powers. grand marshal. A
class of six was initiated into the
mysteries of Odd Fellowship, the G..
M. acting as N. G.. and Bro. McFadden

local degree team. The initiation
was very impressive and will be re-
membered by the candidates for Il
considerable time. After the candi-
dates had been duly instructed the G..
NJ. exemplified the unwritten work in
three degrees and addresses were made
by several of the visiting brothers.
At IL O'Clock the entire party re-
paired to the Exchange Hotel where
sixty were seated at the bounteous
banquet board. The table was beauti-
fully arranged with cut flowers. At
the head of the board was a beautiful
floral emblem, the three links. After
due attention had been paid by the
guests to the bill of fare, cigars were
passed and toasts and addresses fol-
lowed until nearly three o'clock.
There were present outside of the
official guests already mentioned,

Judge Ensign Tuesday to the peniten-

j. L. Greatsinger.

j. L. Greatsinger, president of the
Minnesota Iron company and Duluth
& Iron Range has been elected presi-
kent of the Brooklyn Rapid Transit
and Brooklyn Heights railway com
panies. The many friends of tine
genial president will be pleased to
hear of his promotion but also express
regret over his departure from Duluth
and the ranges.
Speculation now runs upon Mr..
G~reatsinger'S probable successor, but
under the circumstances of the over
ShadOwing character Of the new cor
poration, which is taking in the Fed
eral Steel company, which owns the
Iron Range road and Minnesota Iron
company. there is less interest in the
matter than otherwise would be the
case. The future president, or presi-
dents of these companies will never
occupya position of Importance equal
to that which Mr.. Greatsinger has
enjoyed. 1t is expected that the
United States Steel company will
maintain the identity Of the Iron
Range and Missabe railroads and of
the mining companies, but the au-
thority will be in a measur taken
away and placed in the hands of de-
partments. 1t is expected that the
railroads will be in one mans hands,
the mines in another's, etc. But the
identity of the corporations will not
be disturbed. In the past. Mr.. Great
singer has been vested with much au-
thority as president of the Duluth 81
Iron Range road. He assumed the
responsibility for many things which
in future cannot be done until after
having been submitted and approved
1t will be nothing against his success
{ r that such will be the case. It,
would have happened to Mr.. Great
singer or any other man under the
new order of things which is about to
be established.

If the caucus in any criterion of the

enormous majority. Mr.. Chinn with
