As Seen by Others.

In commenting upon the fate of
former postmaster w. D. Ellsworth,
of Eveleth, the Ely Miner vouch,
safes the statement that "a moral
can be drawn from this case that
should prove a lesson to those
handling other peoples money,
and also to the various range
towns. IT the wheels had not been
allowed to run, Ellsworth would
not have lost his money"
The Eveleth Mining News, in
editorial comment upon the len
iency of the sentence given Els
worth says that Sin this case there
seems to have been no palliating
circumstances in the criminals
guilt. He could plead neither
youth, innocence, inexperience in
crime, evil influences, domestic un-
happiness, or intoxication at the
various times when ne committed
the otfenses."
The contention of the Enterprise
in the premises favors the express
sion of Bro. Schaefer, of the Miner
We believe that, had the authorities
whose sworn duty it is to uphold
the laws and use all due diligence
in their enforcement, had lived to
their obligations and eliminated
open gambling, Mr.. Ellsworth
might have remained respected
citizen. We contend that open
gambling is strictly an "evil influ.
ence," and one of the worst that can
be thrown in the pathway of mortal.
While no man, perhaps, is in duty
bound to be his brothers keeper, it
is assuredly the sworn duty of vii.
lage and city authorities to protect
their citizens from the very "inf1u-
ences" which led to Ellsworth's
downfall, and while perhaps they
may never suffer penalty for their
violation of trust they are certainly
responsible for lives wrecked in
this manner.

commissioner of that city, states
that while the total number of cas-

below the number reported for
two years previous for the first
four and one.half months of the

states that the situation at present

course of his discussion of the stu

the cases under his jurisdiction no
deaths have resulted where the
patient had been vaccinated, and
through the columns of the Times
sends this message to the public:
"Get vaccinated, for the small
pox now prevalent is no respector
of rank or locality.'

S. H. Higgins, who ;recently
purchased and assumed control of
the Hibbing Tribune, died at his
home at an early hour Monday
morning of smallpox. Mr.. Hig-
gins was one of the first to come
down with the dread disease in the
present scourge in our neighboring
city, being taken ill only couple
of days after purchasing his new
business.
In his demise the range loses a
bright, honorable young man, and
the fraternity one of the best
mechanical men in the entire state.

employe of the Enterprise, but for
several years past has been con-

c. NJ. Atkinson for a time, dispos-

last fall, continuing as an employe
of the office throughout the winter,
resigning three weeks since to as
sumo charge of his new business
interests.
Mr. Higgins was a married man,
his wife and one son surviving him.
To them, in their irreparable loss,
is extended the fraternal sympathy
and coincidence. of the press, and of
many friends.

The Park Bluff, eonsort to the raft

these waters, sank in Lake. st. CroiN
Sunday, and John Ferguson, of La
Crosse, was drowned. The boats were
on their way up the river, passing this

leak while on her way up the lake.
and suddenly went down near South
Saltwater. Five men were asleep on
the ill-fated craft, ana all managed
to effect their escape except the La
Crosse man, who went down with the
steamer ana his body has not been re
covered.
So quickly did the Park Bluff sink
that Capt Abe Mitchell. who was in
command of the GlenmOnt. to which
the sinking vessel was fastened, had
great difficulty in preventing his own
boat from being dragged to the bot
tom of st. CroiX lake.
Near End of Season.
Advices from up river are to the
effect that the rafting season will
soon come to a close and but very
few more rafterS Will be seen here
this fall. While 1t is early for this
business to come to an end for the
year, it is due to the high stage of
water which has prevailed all summer
and which is still high enough for the
rafters to ply their pursuit This high
water has allowed the rafters to make
quick trips. allowing them to furnish
the mills with big supplies of logs,
and nearly all of them have now such
a supply on hand that will carry them
through until their time for closing
down.
Notwithstanding the fact however,
that the rafting season will not be as
long this Year as it has been in other
years, it has been ono of the most
successful for long time. Every
towing company on the upper river
has had all the business that it could
handle and some have contracts to
keep them busy for several weeks
longer. Local lumber companies will
still receive logs and lumber, and the
raftcrs which come this far down
will come with consignments for the
local concerns.

it with some comments of his own.

NO ACTION EXPECTED.
News from Colombia Says There Is
Little Likelihood of Legislation
Regarding Canal.

Washington, Oct. ga communica-

pre-, at Bogota, indicates that the present
session of the Colombian congress is not
expected to make any further progress
with the canal legislation. The special
committee which has been considering
the proposition to declare the franchise
of the Panama Canal company vacated
and the extension heretofore granted
illegal has made a report which is so am
biguous in it's terms as to'permit of sew
eral constructions and practically leaves
the question undecided. AS the present
the 31st inst. no action on this subject is
expected.
