oil blazed up. and then the piercing
shrieks of Mrs, Miller for help.
Young Welnkauf was the first one
TO reach the kitchen. N he began at

MINER HIT.
A Gold Miner on the Coffee Question.

Many a rugged constitution has
been broken down by use of coffee.
II and my son are miners and
have been strong coffee drinkers. l
will add I followed mining for fifty
years. Nearly three years ago my
son had palpitation Of the heart so
bad that after a hard days work he
would be almost unable to get his
breath when lying down, and | was
a victim of constipation, headache,
and could not sleep %soundly.
so | pulled up stakes n day and
started to see a doctor, and, c%uriously
enough. an old acquaintance | met on
the way steered me off. We stopped
and talked and told each other all the
news, and | told him about our trou-
bles. He said 1t was coffee doing the
work and that using Postum in place
Of coffee cured HIM of almost exactly
the ailments / described.
so instead of going to the doc

though I did not have much faith in

all right, and after we quit coffee
completely we both began to get well.

Fiji Up Your Coal Bin.

Rev. Irl r. Hicks, the St. Louis
weather prophet, predicted that
January would be a cold month,
and it proved to be true. Now he
tells us to look out for the coolest
snap of the winter during February,
March will bring heavy storms of
sleet with a severe blizzard about
the Goth, and a cold wave to wind
up the ball with about the last of
the month. April is to open cold
with the remnant of the March
blizzard, will be full of SHOWERS
and smiles," that will take the form
of snow squalls in the north, and
there will be frosts late in the
month. So you had better look for
rather stormy time during the
coming three months.

lenten Observations.

In accordance with the, ancient
custom of observing Lent as time
of self-denial the Church of Our
Lady of Lourdes will hold the u.s.
ual devotions every Wednesday and
Friday evening, at 1880 o'clock. On
Wednesday evenings the faithful
will hear an instruction on some of
the most necessary truths of reli-
gion after which will take place the
Benediction of the Blessed Sacra-
ment, and on Friday evenings, it
being most appropriate, the Sor-
rowful Way of the Cross with Bene-
diction, will be the order. 1t would
be we'll if each one would cheerful
ly respond to the kind invitation
extended to all.

degree for swapping a revolver at
Walter Heagle in this city in No.

sentence of three years and six
months in the Saltwater pen.
The trouble between the men was
of long standing, and Jones came
to the city apparently tor the ex
press purpose of inflicting bodily
harm on his adversary, having pre-
viously given warning that their
differences must be settled on sight.
Jones claims to be school teach

Michigan, and made an exhs ustive
plea for clemency, but the conrt de-
cided that short term would give
him time to cool his fevered temper.

of Bisbee, Ariz., is said to have died
in great poverty. Now we hear that
old Captain Boyd, one of The locat-

The Taft engineering crew of the
Great Northern, which has been at
work in the Bull district most of
the winter, has been transferred to

lieved by residents of the west end
that their work in that section is in
connection with the extension of
the Great Northern line from Nash

off would open large new mineral
territory, where explorations have
proven a considerable amount of
ore and where much unproven ter

A Magnificent Success.

There is scarce soul in Virg inia
who did not see and hear announc.
ed the good intent of the Catholic
ladies of the city to tendera spread
that would satisfy the needs and
demands of the most Unsuitable, and
tits said with good show of reason
that the Catholic ladies are famous
for their delicious suppers. This
well-earned reputation was borne
out by the splendid response of the
lpopulace to the invitation to come
land regale themselves at the tempt
ing fare at the Saturday evening
supper at the new Backus block.
To say that "the event was a So
cial and financial success" as we so
often hear said, would be saying
little; to say that it broke all past
records in events of this kind would
be a truth, but non-snffcient to ex-
press the truth; but to say that it
ives landmark, a model, a stand
ard to be looked up to>as pattern
for future emulation, this is the
qualification that it demands.
The designs originated by the
ladies of the church show that they
are possessed not only of artistic
taste, but of learned skill, the real
tiles of sterling worth being dis
cernible in every decoration.
We have heretofore heard and
read of "successful suppers" net
ting $1,000, or therea bouts, the re-
suits being accepted as good, but
in the surprise sprung on Saturday
evening the ladies made profit of
$500 over all expenses.
The affair was done so Quickly
and with so little preparation, only
a couple of weeks being allowed
them, that some may be incredul-
Gus, but the Golfers of Miss Meehan,
treasurer will put to flight and set
Alright all doubts that may arise.
A city and a Church should be
proud of such jealous workers-for
the members of society which
will do so much for God and the
building and decorating of his
Holy House cannot fail to be in the
right place at the right time in the
we'll being of city life.
To encourage the ladies to future
efforts in this direction they are
entitled to the encores of all who
have partaken of their festal cheer
and purchased of their handsome
valentines, and we trust that at the
close of the rigors of the Lenten
season they may respond.

SETTLERS WILL BRING WEALTH.
f. B. ROssOm Predicts Boom for the
Mesaba Country.

MeSdbd Country.
"The future boom of the Mesaba
country" said F. B. Rossom, of Vir-
ginia, who is registered at the St.
Louis hotel, lis not so much in the
iron in dustry as it must be in the
agricultural lands to the north of
that section.
while the mining operations are
of course abridged or extended by
the demand for the ore, the develop
ment OF the farming resources of
the new country will be one of the
wonders of the district in the north
of the state of Minnesota. This is
evidenced in practical way every
time new township is opened for
settlement. There is a rush at the
Duluth land office whenever the
time for making homestead and
timber claim applications arrives.
The fact that the fertile valleys of
the Little Fork river are among the
most productive lands of the coun-
try is being recognized more and
more each day.
"This protends great stable pro-
gress in the permanent property of
the section. The land companies of
Minneapolis and St. Paul and even
of the larger towns of Iowa, are be.
ginning to recognize this fact, and
literature descriptive of the advan-
tages of the section is being sent
out daily.
"rhe attention of the farmers of
the Mississippi valley has been
turned in this direction for a NUN.
Der of years.
"My suggestion, which is based
upon earnest conviction, is for the
people of Duluth to watch the
growth of the agricultural produc-
ton of the country north of the
Mesaba. In the spring there will
be great movement and conse-
quent settlement of the. lands up
there. When the crops are harvest
