Expert Says 19OO Was an Off Marriage
 Year Because They Are Too Pussy.
 The Rev Herman Schoppe of St Johns German Evangelical Lutheran church, Union Hill, N. J., who has married more couples than any other clergyman in Hudson county, deplor as in his annual report the decrease in the number of marriages last year, as compared with 1900. He says:
 The number of marriages during the past year is smaller than in many years. Why this is so 1 don't know, unless it is because the young women are becoming more eXacting. They think they should lead life of ease after getting married.

 London, Jan 7.-Lord Kitchener, tel egraphing from Johannesburg, on Jan uary 6. reports the occurrence of d number of skirmishes in various parts of the war field. The most serious were at Ameersfoort, January ;, and January 4, when Major w. H. +. Plomer and Colonel J. Spens were Ill contact with Commandant Christian Botha'S and Commandant Opperman s commands, and drove the Boers from their positions after considerable fighting, during which the Somerset light infantry suffered severely, Major Naiientin and IS men being killed and 2 officers and 2S men wounded. The Boers left men dead on the field.
 Colonel Colenbrander surprised Field Cornet Louw's laager at Water vale January 5, killed men and cap tured 29.

 London. Jan 7.--The Atlantic trans port line steamer Minnehaha, from New York Dec 2S for this port, has ar rived in the river Thames and is tenn porarily detained below Grayesend. One of the sailors of her crew is sick and the health authorities are of the opinion that he may be suffering from smallpox. The passengers of the Min nehaha were landed at Tilbury this af- ternoon. The Minnehaha will go into dock tomorrow.
 William c. Whitney's Derby candi- date Nasturtium and his Peg Wof- fifington colt, which crossed the At lantic on the Minnehaha, are i'll the best of condition. They were treated throughout the voyage like saloon pas sengers. The horses, when they land tomorrow, will be taken on a special train to Newmarket.
 Commenting on the racing prospects of the American horses, the London Sun says: If MT Whitney's horses are run satisfactorily in 1902, which they most distinctly were not in 1901 though neither MT Whitney nor his trainer was ever held accountable fol their vagaries in form, there is no req son why Nasturtium's victory, if he is the winner, should not be truly popu lar.''

In Chisholm several have gone out Of
THE blind pig Business by 'reaso,f of
the "pinching'' they received. In
Eveleth Ills the same and in Vir-
GINA likewise.
Mr.. Beslow informed the writer
that eleven OF Ely's twenty-seyen
saloon meu had signed the associat-
ion rules and were willing to do ali In
their power to assist In the work. He
also informed US the charges were SIS
to become Il member and 81 per month
thereafter until the evil was removed
and u guarantee as TO It's removal
would be given. Eleven is hardly Il
fair representation and more should
join To make it effective. The cost is
IA secondary consideration when the
benefits to be considered. Think the
matter over.
Outsiders WHO visit the range
towns notice these things as can be
seen from the following item clipped
from the Two uarbors Journal.
While in one of the range towns
last week We were Informed that, the
place mad LlIirty-twU saloons which
were licensed, The prOprietOrs pay lug
live hundred dollars license. In Lile
same town we were Informed that
there were some forty SIX sigttless
porkerS doing business under gov
ernInenL license Of twenty-five dol
| lars. Some time ago the state called
| for d comparative statement from
the brewers showing the number Of
barrels of beer sold in the place dur
ing IA given period and TO whom sold.
Subsequent figures showed that while
l23 barrels had been sold TO the legi-
timate saloon, 1876 barrels had been
sold to the gentlemen operating the
| blind pigs. Such things are an in
justice to the Town, county and slate
in which they are carried on. One
can scarcely believe that such, pro-
ceedirgs would be tolerated in a
county like St. Louis with its model
form Of government"
The fruits of the Illegal traffic can
also be noticed. The pay days at the
mines formerly were good for the sd
loon men in town, but that time is
past aud while statistics show the
consumption Of intoxicants on the in.
crease in the range towns, by reason
Of increased inhabitants, the saloon
men claim less business. There is nc
effort made to restrict the cOnSump.
tiOn but there should be All effort
made to abolish the consumption in
| illegal places. Give the man that
pays his money for the privilege q
show. II would be a hardship on "a
class of our population to restrict
their beer. as it, is both meat AMI
drink to them, but it should bt
bought where it is legally sold.
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1902-02-28

The matter was -forcibly brought TO
pubiic notice by ttie-wor being done
bv the Mesana- Vermilion Detective
Bureau.
w. Beslow, chief of the Bureau, has
been in Ely several times Of late and
the prospects are that some Of the IL
legal sellers will soon feel something
drop. The facts are discovered by
the men employed by the bureau, two
of which have been in Ely for nearly
three weeks, are interesting.
II has been proven that more beer
is sold in the locations than In the
city proper. 1t Is also a fact that
liquors OF all kinds come in by the
ba: rel and are taken from the depot
by parties who are not on the city
books for a $500 license. 1t is also
strange that Ely has issued twenty
seven municipal licenses and that so
far there have been discovered some
thing like forty-seven state licenses
in this city.
Several times in the history of Ely,
there have been efforts made to put
a stop to the illegal traffic, but the
efforts were always frustrated by the
actions OF the treweries and the
county officials who had charge Of
the prosecution OF offenders against
the liquor laws. The breweries paid
the tines and the officers made the
same az low rs possible.
There is no excuse for this state of
affairs and the larger part OF the
blame for the nOn-enfOrcement Of the
liquor laws. lays with the licensed
salona men. 1t seems strange they
should pay $500 for privilege an
other man gets FOR nothing. And
again. it seems strange they would
allow another Il privilege Tor which
they pay $500. However, if the esa-
loon man does not see fit to protect
his business, why should other people
bother with the same.
There is way to go ut this matter
and go at it right. Form an associa-
ton. dig up IA few dollars, have the
