said an occasional visitor to town,
may make me more observant of small
things than you folk who are here all
the time. have noticed, for instance,
that most men who wear panamas
are the possessors of dirty headgear.
"This doesn't apply to. the whole
hat, but only to the front. The front
may be quite dark, while the back is
nice and clean. suppose it happens
80 because there is much soft-coal
smoke in the air and they are walking
or riding against it every day. have
never seen such thing here before.
ut seems strange, however," con-
cluded the visitor, according to the
New York Mail and Express, "that the
use Of soft coal should so change con-
ditions here that you get a better
impression of man when seeing him
from behind than when you meet him
face TO face"

POISON 70 UND n POTATOES


So Potatoes contain = poisonous aka
#aod known as solanine. Little Of this:
poison Is found in the new potatoes,
] put even fresh potatoes which have
grown above the surface Of the soil
1! and md have agreen skin are generally
known to be poisonous, says scien-
title authority. When potatoes are
kept a long time they contain large
amount of this poison, and many cases
OF serious poisoning have occurred in
late summer from eating old potatoes.
About ten years ago many soldiers in
the German army were ill from an I'M
known cause. They suffered with head
ache, collie, diarrhea, vomiting, weak
ness, and slight stupor, and in some
cases dilatation of the pupils. The
matter was investigated and it was dis
covered that the men had been eating
potatoes which had been kept lor q
long time in damp place unth they
had begun to sprout. Chemical ex-
animation revealed the fact that these
potatoes contained "a times as much
solanine as is found in new potatoes.

The Duluth papers report that Frank
johnson, Of the johnson Nickel Mining
Company, was in Duluth last week
|endeavoring to make arrangements for
q site for $4,000 blast furnace which
the company intends to build for the
purpose Of making Swedish steel from
the titanic ore from this county. One
paper states that he was endeavoring to
secure a sight in Grand Marais, while a
later paper said he had nDde arrange
msnts which it was thought would re-
suit in the city of Duluth offering a
site for the plant at West Duluth.
Mr.. johnson claims that the millions
OF tons of titanic ore, known to exist in
this county is subject to treatment IN
the furnace he intend building, and
will make the finest steel IN the world
The reports say that the plans for the
furnace are prepared and that further
plans for the steel plant are now beng
drawn. It is intended to begin on q
small scale and make additions with
the growth of business. Mr.. johnson
says he has been working on the propo:
sition for twenty years and if site can
be secured in thirty days he will be
able to operate the furnace by July LIST,
and six months later will begin work in
the steel. plante. The Duluth Herald in
reporting the matter says:
"The fact that the ore is pos
sessed of the properties requisite TO,
fine steel making, seems to be known
outside of the country, as Sears men
from Sheffield, England, have been here
within the past few months taking sam.
pies and trying to engage options OF
Cook county property"

JUROR HAD RED HAIR
Yer by RefusdnE to Como DO
an Agreement,

. 1t behooves q lawyer to be careful
of what he says while arguing before
"a jury. John c. Kinnear, practition-
er in New York, realizes this fact thor
oughly, says the Albany Argus, and all
because of remark he made not long
ago in the Yorkville municipal court.
He appeared on behalf of another law
yer who was suing corporation for
$500 for services alleged to have been
performed. The evidence adduced
made out quite strong case for the
plaintiff, whose counsel made telling
speech. He reviewed the facts in clev-
er fashion, and toward the close of his
remarks said that the corporation
would have paid but for the fact that =
|'red-headed lobster of q junior partner
had objected, and thus ,precipitated
legal proceedings. The court rebuked
Mr.. Kinnear for using such language
and the lawyer apologized. But he had
done the mischief. All the jurymen
but one Uttered, and he had red hair.
The judge delivered his charge strong
" in favor of the plaintiff and the
jury retired. Everybody expected YER
dict in few minutes, but in couple
of hours words reached the court
that there'was no prospect Of an agree
ment. With one exception the jury:
was agreed on q verdict for plaintiff
The exception was the red headed
man, who said: perhaps the lawyer
thinks ,ln its smart to call people red
headed HOLSTERS. / don t. - $. The court
finally discharged the jury and Lawyer.
Ki inn is still digesting the Lesson.

Executioner Executed,

r: The official executioner of Toxic is
dead. His death was curious in itself,
and considering his profession, was
little short of remarkable. He was
crossing a railway track near Toxic
when he was run down by fast ex-
press. The body was found by the
track with the head as neatly decapi-
|tated as any which had been cut off
by the official executioner himself.
Otherwise there was not mark on his
