Masonic Fair.
Masonic fairs have been held in sew
e1al cities, such as Detroit, Washing
ton and San Francisco, where, because
of the strength and influence of the
Masonic bodies, they became social
events. The Masons of Minneapolis
expect no less from their fair, to be
held Dec. to 2 inclusive. 1t is given
for the purpose of adding to the. fund
which is to purchase the outstanding
stock of the Masonic Temple. This
building was erected by building as
ISOLATION, composed largely of men,
,bers OF the order. AS the lodges grew
in strength they acquired blocks of
stock, and they have now united in a
common effort to raise a large enough
fund to become the exclusive owners
of the building.
People who go to fairs are always hot
after prizes, and the Masons have ar
ranged for enough of them to satisfy
the hungriest. There will be three
prizes every night, and a grand prize
on Saturday night which will go to
some person who has purchased tickets
and attended the fair every evening.
Besides, the fair committee is going to
give away to o ticket holder $500
piano and farm.
Violated the Law.
the judges and clerks of the pro-
bate courts of many counties in the
state have been unwittingly violating
a section of the internal revenue laws
in regard to revenue stamps on bonds
furnished by executors, assignees,
guardians and receivers appointed by
the court. Under the internal revenue
law of June IS, 1898, portion of Sec
tion 10 read to mean that the above
named offices were exempt from any
taxation in connection with the bond
furnished.

Forestry association, the Minnesota
Beekeepers' association and the Wo-
mans Auxiliary will combine forces to

More Iron.
The latest iron ore discovery on the
Vermillion range may bring rich re-
turns to the state of Minnesota The
vein is located on section 36-59-17,
which is state school land, and it is
leased under contract to pay the state
a royalty of Is cents a ton, and to mine
not less that 5000 tons annually. The
ore is of the best quality, and some
runs 81 per cent iron. If it is worked
on an extensive scale, 100000 tons a
year may be mined, bringing $25, 00(
per annum to the school fund.
