the postal authorities. 1t developed yes
terday that the postmaster at Centralia
had issued the order Dec. II and dated
it back to accommodate the wife Of the
injured man. The postoffice inspector re-
ported his findings and urged the inlme-
date dismissal Of the postmaster.

Lake Output Of Iron ID Per Cent OF All
Mined In the Country.

DULUTH, MINN.-There Is no question
but that total ore shipments from the
northern lakes will exceed Is, 900, 900 gross
tons for the year. This will be double
the business of so recent year as 1897,
and equals all that was shipped from 1855
to 1884. 1t Is a larger percentage Of the
total ore production Of the United States
than ever before, except in 1899, and is
~ per cent Of the whole mined In the
country. There will be, 1t is estimated
a total Of about 33.5OO.oO0 tons Of ore
mined In the entire United States this
year.
Ore deals Of the Shenango Furnace COM

burg, Is the president. and which have
been grossly. exaggerated in press dis
patches. include only the Shenango mine
and the Webb property on the Mesaba
range and half interest in the Antoine

The first named has show up about H.
100000 tons and tho second 5000 900. while
the Antoine mines may have up to 50,000,-
900 tons of q low grade silicious ore, now
coming into value. The Charlton Steel

president, but all of whose stock Is owned
by the Cruictble Steel company Of Ameri-

in which Mr.. Snyder is a stakeholder. have
about 100000 tons Of ore shown, but
these mines are in no way the property of
any Of the Independent steel making con-
Germs of which he Is a stakeholder. The
press story that these mines were being
gathered In as a step toward war with the
United States Steel corporation is about
as far from the truth as anything we'll
can be.
The properties Of the Antoine Ore com
pany are the Traders, Clifford, Keel Ridge
And Antoine mines, and contain noun
tain Of ore. They are owned jointly by the
Snyder interest and the Republic Iron and
Steel company. and will be used as a mix
ture for their low silicon Msaba ores.

GETTING OUT THE VOTE
Democratic Committee Meeting In Iowa
Causes Republicans Anxiety.


DIES MONIES, IOWA-The democratic
state central committee held meeting
here to-day to urge forward steps for
getting out the vote. It has developed
the democrats are quietly making a deter
mined effort in this direction, and the
knowledge Of this fact has caused the re-
publicans no little apprehension in the
close districts. The democrats are MAX
ing much of the recent address by Secre-
tary Shaw at Marshalltown, in which the
secretary expressed himself on the Iowa
idea This address made 1t plain Secre-
tary Shaw was not in favor of revision Of
the tariff, although the lowe. idea was not
attacked as such. In their literature, the
democrats are pointing to Shaw's address
as another evidence Of the fact that the
republicans of the state are divided into
two factions on this question.
Governor Cummins is being urged to

fenced to death last spring in the district
court Of Bremen county, He Is now at

The supreme court has not yet decided
the appeals of Phillips and Brooks, the
Greenville bank robbers. The court adj
iourned yesterday without acting on these
cases, and is expected to hand down a
decision shortly after meeting for the ad-
tourned session Of the October term.
The supreme court has struck a
hard blow at the liquor traffic
through express agents by revers-
ing two cases, one from Washington
| county against the United States Express
| company, and the other from Tama coun-
ty against the American. In both the
express companies had liquor in their pos
| session which they were delivering to
purchasers for c. o. D. payments. The
! liquors were seized and the cases tried in
| the district courts, which decided that
such a proceeding was no violation of the
mulct law. The supreme court yesterday
| reversed both these decisions and holds
| that such goods are contraband.
