is LOADED WITH IRON PYRIT ES
The Valuable Cargo Will Go to the Atlantic
Manufacturing Company to be Used
in the Manufacture of Sui
phuric Acid

Two ships loaded with iron pyrites
will arrive at the Northwestern
Fuel Company's docks this morning.
The steamer Fairmont and Censor
will carry the load. They come from
Pilleys Island, Newfoundland, hav-
ing taken their cargo from an ocean
steamer direct from Spain. The
cargo therefore originates in Spain
and is delivered in Washburn. The
boats were obliged to lighter at
Montreal in order to get through
the Welland canal. Special pre-
paratiQns have been made at the
coal dock to handle the loads. The
iron pyrites will be taken from the
ships and loaded unto cars and TAX
en- to Barksdale, where it will be
utilized for the manufacture of sui
phuric acid. It is probable that the
cargo will be needed to be used in
manufacture of high explosives be-
fore spring, as the plant will likely
be started, running sometime this
winter.

A Change Of Tune.

Some Of the remarks which the
New York World has been maxim q
on President ROosevolt's habit of
protecting American citizens in
foreign lands must make interesting
reading for Mr.. Cleveland, if he re
members the kind Of language which
was pelting about his own ears
seven or eight years ago. In fact,
Mr.. Cleveland had so hard time to
suit his party when he was in office
that it must seem funny to him to
be deifed now. Tom Reed once said
that statesman was successful
politician who was dead. Mr.. Cleve-
land is in a position to testify that
in order to become a statesman in
the eyes of the democrats one need
only die to the party and the party
will do the rest.
For example, this is what the
World called Mr.. Cleveland in its issue
of February 81, 1897, when he re-
fused to listen to it's frantic appeals
to him to do something strenuous
in Cuba, and DO it soon, with big
stick:
"This tired egoist under domina-
ton of the quioblemongering law
yer who holds the State Depart
ment.''
Does the World object to Mr..
Roosevelt apd Mr. Hay because they
are tired CYCLISTS and bubble mongers
or has it changed it's tune?

The Ashland foot bail team will
play the local high school team 1T
the grounds>in this city next Satur-
day. The Washburn boys are taking
plenty of training, and are INDUCING
in cross country runs nearly every
morning, and will be in shape to give
Ashland hot game. The team
goes to Hayward Saturday of next
week to play the team of that place.
At the democratic convention held
in this city last Friday night Judge
W. E. Trip, of Iron River, was
elected as the candidate of the
party for mber of assembly. Mr..
Trips convention was very poor
ly attended affair, being very shy
of legal delegates-but that is n OF
extraordinary in the affairs of the
democratic party in this section Of
the state, where it is sometimes
necessary for two or three party
men to meet and put up ticket.
Judge Trip has gained the distinc-
ton of being one of the most pro-
nounced democrats in bayfield,
county, and his nomination was very
proper. However it is understood
that he will attempt to make a can.
yass as supporter of Governor
LaF'ollette, and if this be SO it
placed him in very ludicrous posi-
ton, as he can hardly remain a
democrat, and that was the way he
was nominated, and a supporter Of
the governor at the same time.
Nevertheless that is what the Judge
is going to attempt to do.

Foot Ball Enthusiasm.

There was a great deal of in
terest shown IN the game of foot
bali played last Saturday be-
tween the Washburn and Besse-
mer High School teams, which
was pulled off on the grounds in
this city. The final score was
six to five in favor Of the visitors,
but had it not been for the in
experience on the part of the
referee and me-keepers Wash
burn would have btedly
won the game. The local boys
played the best foot ball of the
two teams, and everyone who
saw them were we'll satisfied
with the progress they have
made. With more coaching they
will undoub tedly be able to sue
cessfully meet any Of the foot
ball teams in this part Of the
country. The progress being
made in athletics by the school
this year is com mendable
thing. Some people have deep
seated prejudice against foot
ball, but that is nothing but
what might be expected. For
years it was question among
university and college officials
whether the game should be per-
mitted, and at one time the legis-
lature of this state even talked of
prohibiting it. But foot ball has
always won out, and it will be-
come the popular game here in
Washburn. Hay ward, Ashland,
Bessemer, Hurley, lronwood,
and all the surrounding towns
have had foot ball teams in their
schools for several years, and
these teams have made splendid
shoWings in the playing of the
game. 1t certainly is time that
Washburn got into the swim in
the game, and the public school
teachers who have brought out
the Washburn high school team
are entitled to a great deal of
praise There was more life
shown among the pupils and
teachers of the public schools
last Saturday than has ever been
manifested in any single day be-
fore. Washburn undoubtedly
has very fortunately emerged
from the woods at last, and with a
corps of teachers in charge of
the schools such as are now EN-
ployed there is bound to be
growing interest among the
young people in our schools.
The old saying that ''all work
and no play makes Jack a dull
boy,' is no doubt very true.
The exciting features of foot ball
games will no doubt serve to
sharpen "Jack s" menta
qualities,

An Evening Out.

A most pleasant informal affair oc-
cured Tuesday evening, October
l1th, at the [. 0. O. f. Hall whe
the Queen Of the Beavers, Clover
Colony, No. POI, swarmed in full
force and obligated seven new mem
bers.
Mrs. G. NJ. Barton, district deputy,
was present and put on the initiatory
work in manner which did honor
to the plan of an order which bids
to be one of the strongest in the
state, and gave US full assurance
that she understood her work and is
assurdedly oneof the 5ost organizers
that ever came to Washburn; and
demonstrated by her example that
fraternity is production of huma
kindness, and that ii binds the citi-
zen to his country, his country to
the world, and res trains the impet-
Gus thought of the young, and not
only offers to the wage Garner pro-
lection and solves one Of life's hard
est problems, but illustrates to all
alike that penny saved is worth
two earned and lost, but not least
royals as an inspiration of love for
our fellow creatures which is the
only true greatness. Faith which
upholds the broken hearted, hope
which sustains in hours of bitter
grief, charity that helpeth the for
lorn and otherwise forgotten along
the wayside, and the Qneen of Home
which is the m5odiment Of mother
hood ara virtues within our doors
About eleven o'clock our most
worthy queen and others repaired to
the ante room with the intention of
serving to the ladies present when,
behold an alarm was heard, ire
mendous in it's magnitude, terrib lie
in it's velocity, which seemed for a
moment to overwhelm the otherwise
quiet colony but soon the cause Of
the commotion at the outer door be-
came apparent, it was colony of
real beavers who wished to exhi bit
their interest and sympathy for us
by Offering to help partake of the
excellent lunche on which was served
to the large memoership present and
they fully demons trated their apprec-
iatiOn to the extent that although
embarrassing to- the Beavers and to
their utmost chagrin their most
worthy commander of Kenfiel0
Colony was found-with sandwiches
slowed away in his pockets, but
then we did not blame him, for the
kilarity still continuing we concluded
he was interested in his breakfast.
!! Many of the gentlemen present
applied for admission to the Queen s
colony and further agreed that in
order to find favor, they would per-
form the odious duty of washing the
dishes, but when called on.the follow
ing NOR ming were found to be aliens
to domestic cares, but joined in ex-
tending to the ladies the right hand
of fellowship and voted the ladies as
royal entainers, therefore we truly
feel that word to che wise is suffi
cient, and if you do not belong get
busy and be one. for the Queen Of the
! Beavers are We.
