No Developments in Pitcher Crumley's
Case.

There have been no new developments in
the case of Tate Crumley. the star George
town pitcher, who is under suspension pend
ing an investigation Of the report from In
dianapolis that he played three games with
the team which represents that city in the
American Association.
Nothing has as yet beer heard from Man
ager Raschaup of the Indiana club. TO
whom Mnager Carlin of the varsity team
wired as soon as the report was circulated
yesterday that the star twirler had profess
sionalized himself by playing on a league
team Until something more definite is re-
ceived from the west nothing further can
be done by the Georgetown authorities
Crumley will not discuss the report. but Is
anxiously awaiting the decision of the ad-
visory board in regard to his eligibility. NO
word is now expected until tonight. SO the
ban which the pitcher is at present under
will keep him out of this afternoons contest
with the University of Pennsylvania.

depended on the allowance of the
orders.
The county commissioners are not
in the best frame of mind over the
matter, especially the range members
of the board. With continual howl
for road work on the part Of settlers,
their position is anything but pleas
ant. The reputed taxpayers who
held up the claims might have at
least looked into the merits Of the
appeal and taken into consideration
the effect before tying up work which,
God knows, is badly needed
The county road question is a
serious one and public sentiment on
the ranges and Duluth is strongly i'm
favor of doing all that is possible to
build new roads and open up country
which is direct benefit. Every mile
of road built in st. Louis county is a
benefit to the city Of Duluth and the
county. The ranges argue that the
motives of the city taxpayers was a
purely selfish one simply because
they themselves do not wantany more
roads built. The policy is one that
will retard the development of ter
ritory that will bring direct benefits
to Duluth. The taxpayers of the
ranges will not take kindly to the
action of the handful in Duluth. Un-
der the law, seven taxpayers, by petit
tioniag the coaat5 attorney To make
an appeal from the allowances Of
claims by the board of comfy COM
missioners, can tie up any claim or
payroll absolutely until the matter is
settled in the courts. No objection is
raised to the theory of the law, but it
is argeed that the seven showed
mighty poor judgment.
Something will be done. If Duluth
cannot see further than Lester Park,
we'll aud good. The ranges cannot see
very far and only to dividing line.
We will cut loose and build our own
roads and let Duluth build the new
court house. The seven are perfectly
willing to let the ranges help build a
new court house for sthe beautifying
of their city. We don't actually need
a new court house. but do need roads.
There is something doing on the ram
ges. and there is more to follow.

Ely Star Course.

The last of the entertainments Of
the present Ely Star Course. took
place at the Opera House
Monday evening and the attend
ance was greater than at any of
the previous entertainments in the
course. The appreciation was also
on a par with the attendance and
the Ladies' Quartette, which ap-
peared on that evening, can well feel
pleased over the reception accorded
them.
The quartette work was extra good
and the individual numbers received
deserved recognition. Mrs. Palmer,
the second alto has an exquisite voice
of wide range and captured the aud
ience. Her readings were also we'll
received. Miss Lindsey, the first
soprano has very charming voice
whichfled admirably in the quartette
work and she shared honors equally
with the second soprano, Miss
Stuart. Their solos were also good
especially the latter. Miss Miller,
the first alto suffered somewhat with
cold which interferred with her
solo work but was scarcely noticed
in the quartette.
The course has been source fof
much qualification to Ely subscri-
berS, who have been buncoed time
and again with fake companies. An
effort was made at the entertain
ment Monday evening to secure sig
natures for another course during
the year but only about 100 season
tickets were subscribed for. AS it
requires nearly S40O to provide
course, it can be plainly seen, the
first response was entirely inadequate
to fill the bill.
1t is a question as to whether an
other course can be arranged, as the
taste differs so materially as to the
nature off entertainments required.
Mr.. Newberry who has managed this
course says he has come out even on
the list but does not feel, in view Of
the limited response, as if he cared
to face the responsibility of another.
1t is to be sincerely hoped that the
arrangements will shape themselves
in such d manner as to assure the
people of Ely another course of these
.ratioCd evenings of auuseIneuts.

The delinquent tax list has made its
appearance A careful perusal Of the
same is of interest to the ranges in
view OF the fact that seven of the
wise citizens of Duluth have seen fit
| to enter proceedings 70 hold up the
payment on the road york. bills for
which were before tie county COM
mssioners at the lasSmeetlng The
proceedings have stood and the pay
ments are held up.
Not,only the road oyerseer has been
put to sore straits, but the poor men
who worked on the various highways
of the county are shy their pay and
in cases where they lliwe used the
orders to purchase tls t6ossssaries of
life, the merchant who furnished the
necessaries, are out, all because
coterie of tax dodgers and obstruct-
ionists in the city of Duluth have
seen fit to put in their oar and hold
up the payments.
The delinquent tax list shows that
the larger part Of the taxes are paid
by the territory immediately north
of Duluth, or in other words, the
ranges. 60 per cent of the taxes of
st. Louis county are apportiOned to
the ranges and what is more the ram
ges pay the same. The balance of the
40 per cent is apportioned to Duluth
and its immediate suburbs and the
deliqdent list shows that only about
one half of that is annually paid.
Thus Duluth, by fair computation,
actually pays about 2S per cent of the
taxes Of st. Louis county.
notwithstanding this, the only
benefits to be derived by the ranges
from st. Louis county are to be shut
off viz; the building of roads. Chester
A. CongdoD, Vim. Prindle, Il. T.
Hudson, Henry S. MahOn, j. II.
Upham. Benz. f. Meyers and Victor
Stearns, are the names of the bunch,
who have waxed fat and wealthy in the
county, have all the law allows them
to have, which was secured in the
county of ST. Louis and now feel they
are to be cheated by the ranges, all
because they are compelled to pay a
just proportion of taxes. That this
is a scheme to dodge taxes is conced-
ed on all sides.
There are some in Duluth who feel
the gentlemen mentioned are remark
ably smart and the right action was
taken. Duluth. as is we'll known, has
for the past several years derived its
greatest amount of revenue from the
ranges. besides all the men who have
made Il fair competency from mines
and properties on the ranges make
their home in the Zenith CITY, The
ranges have. with pride. watched Du-
luth grow and when four years ago the
county division project was up for a
vote, the majority of the business ele-
ment Of the ranges were against it,
and considerable of that sentiment
was occasioned by the feeling for Du-
luth.
The thing is different now and the
same feeling.is being rapidly dispelled

May Agitate County Division.
Range People Not Pleased with the Actions of
the Handful and Decisive Steps Will be Taken.

Dy Tile ACTIONS or this Oand or seven,
self-styled watch dogs. The Duluth
wholesalers who are furnishing the
larger part OF the supplies and neces-
saries used by the ranges, should call
a halt and pull off the obstructionists.
A movement is on foot to prepare
petition to the wholesalers to see
what can be done. If the gentlemen
feel they can do without the range
trade, well and good. st. Paul and
Minneapolis are not far away and
goods can be purchased in the latter
cities as we'll as in Dulu Ii. and con-
sidering the prompt payments of bills
by the range merchants, the Twin
City wholesalers will be pleased to
trade with us. The Duluth CONNER
cial Club can find food for thought
in the prospects.
As is we'll known, every farmer
within a radius of thirty miles of Du-
Iiutf frsis road TO connect him With
civilization. The seven wise men of
the Zenith city evidently are under
the impression that Duluth and
few farming settlements in its i'm
mediate vicinity, is about all there is
to st. Louis county. While this may
true to few, it is we'll known fact
that the wealth Of the county lies
considerably north of the Zenith
city. Look at the tax sheet and see.
The ranges wants roads and must
have them. The action recently
taken by the seven wise men, pre-
cludes the possibility Of any road
building for next year. We must
have roads and in order to secure
them must have the county furnish
them. We are entitled to them and
pay taxes for that purpose. We can
do the same as our smart city brother
Duluth, does. Let our taxes go by
default for several years and then
settle for about so cents on the dol
lar. Several in the Zenith City have
made fortune in this way.
Another action we can take in the
premises. We can sccede from ST.
Louis county and get all the benefits
of the taxation of our rich mines and
properties ourselves. Four years ago.
we were not exactly in shape for Sc
cession, but to day we can without
serious inconvenience to ourselves
and decided Inconvenience to Du-
luth and its interests. While the
forming of Il new county is an ex-
pensive undertaking, the recent action
of the Duluth "We-are-it" club. has
brought the mattel to head and
some action to cut loose will be taken.
We can afford it. We have the
money and by doing so will rid our
selves of such class of citizens as the
seven mentioned before.
! The Duluth papers are teeming
with articles reganIing the agricul-
tural possibilities ofSt. Louis county.
Where there are settlers there must
be roads and in order to build roads
all must help. What the exact
reasons are for holding up the road
work, we cannot say as no valid one
has been advanced If the gentlemen
had an idea the county was getting
the worst of it, why did they not go
before the board and make their kick
before the work was done and not
wait until someone's bread and butter
