EXPENSIVE FIRE.

A couple of boys set fire to the
awning in front of L. Baum's store
Monday afternoon, presumably for
the pleasure of seeing it burn. c. F.
Prehm saw the act, but did not rec.
ognize the boys and they got away
before he realized what had been
done. The fire spread rapidly and
the awning was totally ruined.
Some one tried to throw pitcher
water on the blaze aud the handle
came off. letting the pitcher smash
into the big plate glass window.
Two smaller glasses above were al
go broken, and the woodwork
above the awning was slightly
burned. No damage was done in
side the store. The plate glass
which was broken, is covered by in
surance, but fully $50 worth of dam
age was done beside the breaking
of the glass.
Leo Baum and Claude Britain
had their hands slightly burned in
tearing down the blazing awning.
Mr.. Prehm believes he would be
able to identify the two boys in
case they are captured.-Galena
Times.

She has taken so much medicine
that her flesh has become dead
ened, and while the worms are be-

calm without the use of opiates.

The Virginia enterprise. [volume] (Virginia, St. Louis County, Minn.) 1893-19??, 1902-12-05
Il PROGRESSIVE SPIRIT.

We believe in a progressive spirit,
especially in a community where
nature has been bounteous in her
efforts. If town advances along
commercial lines, every man, WON
an and child in the locality receives
either directly or indirectly share
of the success attained.
There are many ways of helping
community to the front. Neatly
kept lawns, evenly graded streets,
we'll built walks and Hastily painted
houses, do as much toward estab-
fishing reputation at home and
abroad, as in many circumstances
the expenditure of large sums of
money for some untried industry.
Give a city few up-to-date, hus-
Ting business men, whether they
have large amount of wealth at
their disposal or not, turn them
loose in community they are de-
SIRIUS of seeing stand with neigh
boring towns in the commercial
arena, and they will surmount al
! most any obstacle. More towns die
tor the want of confidence and lack
of public spirit on the part of bust
ness men than through the rivalry
of neighboring towns or adverse
surroundings. When man in
search of business location goes
to town and finds everything brim-
full of hope and enthusiasm he soon
becomes imbued with the spirit,
and as a result he drives down
stick and goes to work with the
same interest When, however. he
! goes to a town and everyone ex-
presses doubt and apprehension,
moping about and indulging in
complaints, seeing imaginary evils
which are likely to befall the town,
he naturally feels it is no place for
| him and at once shakes the dust
thereof from his feet, while he pulls
for another town with all possible
speed. When you are working for
your town you are accomplishing
all the more for yourself.
With the new industries now as
sured as we'll as others in prospect
for Virginia, with a pull all-togeth-
er on the part of our business peo-
pie and citizens generally, success
and rapid advancement will the lot
The Virginia enterprise. [volume] (Virginia, St. Louis County, Minn.) 1893-19??, 1902-12-05
of our CITY.

The mammoth new mill now in
course of construction, the railroad
shops already assured through the
conditional contract whereby inter
! ested parties have signed off their
suits for fire losses, and the i'm
mense lumber industry on the line
of the new Duluth, Virginia & Rainy
Lake railroad means steady and
continuous employment to several
hundred men, directly tributary to
the city, for many years to come.
In addition to these new indus
tries, secured through the united
efforts of a number of Virginia's
foremost progressive citizens, other
industries already look this way
and the establishment of big sash,
door and blind factory and box fac
tory in connection with the mill at
an estimated expense of $4,000, is
practically assured; and the work
ing of the ore deposits in the Vir-
gina u1StIlCL Oh luOle eAteHS1Ve
scale will give to Virginia an i1npe-
tus which will place and keep her
we'll in the lead of all range cities.
The prospect is indeed bright
one, and as evidence of the fact that
our business fraternity have never
faltered in their faith of our future
they have remained and will reap
the merited reward of their efforts
It is deserved.

RELIEF MEETING.

A meeting of the Swedes of this
city is called for Sunday afternoon
at 4:15. Immediately following the
church services, in the Bowling
block in the rear of the Virginia
Pharmacy. The object of the meet
ing is to devise ways and means of
assisting their countrymen in Swe-
den, who are suffering from famine
as a result of the destruction of
their crops.
Some idea of the extent and char
acter of the suffering they seek to
alleviate may be gained from the
following extracts from an article
in the Svenska Amerikanska Poster
of Minneapolis:
During the past summer extern
sive rains have fallen in the north
ern provinces of Sweden and the
farmers we're unable to get their
work done in time. The grain rip
ened very slowly and was far from
mature when a severe frost swept
the country on the 10Th of Septem-
Der, completely killing the grain
crop. Hay fields, marshes and the
sloughs were under water, which
was frozen to ice before the hay
the farmers main supply of fodder
could be cut.
"The result of such inclemency of
the weather can easily be imagined.
The grain crop in these provinces
is a total failure; potatoes gave a
small and inferior yield, and the
hay crop gave partial yield-rang-
ing from a two-thirds crop in a few
townships to one-tenth crop in a
large number of townships: .~-.#
Famine follows in the wake of
such total failure of crops. Not
only are the peasants obliged to
live on starvation rations. but they
have no means Of securing food for
