WILL INVESTIGATE.
Grand Jury to Look into Matters
at the County Jail.

A preliminary examination was
held by the district court judges,
Saturday afternoon, attended by
County Attorney McClintock, Chief
Deputy S. L. Pierce, of the sheriff's
office and Jailer Michael Horgan. for
the purpose of looking into the escap-
ing of prisoners from the county Jail.
The result of the meeting is not
given out as it was not open to the
public, but it is understood that the
conditions at the Jail will be called to
the attention of the next grand jury.
Owing to the fact that many of the
escaped prisoners got away while
working in the kitchen department,
an order has been made prohibiting
the employ of prisoners in that de-
partment in the future. Violations
of their promises on the part of some
of the men who have been treated as
"trusties'' are also said to have had
much to with the escapes. Because
of the escape Of so many men from
the chain gang an armed guard has
been established over the prisoners
that are taken outside the Jail for
work.

the results of IN experimental trial
of the system used by the Canadian
labor bureau in equalizing the de-
mand and supply of labor, especially
in the districts to which there is no
general movement of labor.
The system followed by the D0min-
ion bureau of labor is to request the
clerks of cities and towns in the PROV
inces to send it bulletins of the de-
mand for labor in their districts.
These bulletins are posted in con-
spicuous places, such as the postofices
hotels and government buildings, at
labor centers, so that it can be seen
at a glance where the demand for
labor is greatest.
In the blanks sent to the town
clerks there are spaces to suggest
what industrial enterprises are needed
in the localities for the information
of persons who have capital to invest.
Some time ago the Minnesota de-
partment inaugurated a similar
system of reports, but owing to press
of other business it was Impossible to
follow it up as fully as it was desired.
Since the letters were sent out sew
eral months ago there have been
about $50 replies, which shows how
well the system might work if the
department could give it the proper
attention. There were responses
from a number of the localities show
ing the demand both for labor and
the opportunities for the investment
of capital. Many of the replies told
of openings for hotels, cigar factories,
barber shops and a number of other
industries.
1t is thought that the plan, il pro-
erly established. would be better than
a state employment BUREAU and
would entail less expense. The work
done along this line will be incorpor-
porated in the report as a suggestion
to be worked out in the future. 1t is
said that the plan works we'll on the
other side of the line in equalizing
the supply and demand for labor and
capital.

SILvERMAN OBJECTS.
Owner of the Cashawa Falls
Files Protest with Canada.

Formal protests against the diver
sion of water power by the Minnesota
Canal and Power company has been
made to the secretary of the state in
Canada by Lazarus Silverman, of
Chicago, president of the Enterprise
Iron & Land Co., who owns the Cash
ava Falls and much land on Fall
Lake. The latter claims that the
power company is preparing to divert
the waters of rivers and streams
which at present run in a n%ortherly
and westerly direction through the
state of Minnesota and empty into
the waters on the international
boundary.
Mr.. Silverman claims that Canada
should take c%ognizance of the pro-
posed works as they effect a large per-
centage of.the waters along the inter
national boundary between the state
of Minnesota and the province of
Ontario.
The amount of territory in Mime
sofa drained by the waters which are
to be diverted is LOO square miles.
A mar showing the territory effected
and details of the power companY's
plans have been forwarded to the
Canadian secretary of the state who
will give the matter his consider
alton.

F|REMEN'S ANNUAL BALL.
Best Ball Ever Given by the De.
partment Says Everybody.

The Eighth Annual Ball by the Ely
Fire Department Wednesday evening
was one of the best social and fnan.
cial affairs ever given by this institut-
ion and several dollars were realized.
The hall had been handsomely deco.
rated with bunting and fire fighting
paraphernalia and presented an i'm
posing spectacle. At promptly nine
o'clock, LaBrosse's Orchestra of four
pieces with Fisher as prompter were
in place and the crowd began to as
semble. At ten o'clock the hall was
already filled and at eleven o'clock it
had just doubled. In fact it vas fill.
ed to such an extent that dancing
was almost impossible. However
fun and good nature prevailed and al.
though corns were severely trodden
upon no serious consequences were
noticeable.
Dances followed one another fast
and furious until II o'clock when sup.
per vas announced at the Vail Hotel
and all repaired to this excellent
hostelry where Landlord Glode had
prepared a most toothsome banquet
to which all did due justice.
After supper the programme was
again taken up and at three o'clock
when the orchestra usually discon-
tinues operations the party had
neither diminished IN numbers or
enthusiasm and the dance was con-
tinued until four o'clock and at time
the party reluctantly left the hall.
The music by the orchestra and the
prompting by Mr.. Fisher was of the
best; the floor was in good condition
and the crowd was congenial. Six or
eve couples were present from
Tower and also several from Winton
and other points. The floor commit
tee consisting of NJ. e. Gleason, G. j.
Mott and P. Schaefer did their part
we'll as did also all the other COM
mittees having the affair in charge.
Those in attendance from Tower
were: Messrs. G. G. Campaigne, j. A.
Humble, R. McQuade, Bert Opel
and G.. M. Keith. Misses Kileen,
Hanson, Murray, Opel, N. E. Ever
EFT, A. E. Everett and Nellie
Sullivan. Other points furnished
guests as follows: Thos. Carey of
Hibbing, Art Talboys of Duluth,
Thos. Polkinghorne of Two Harbors
and Miss Della Chevrette of Duluth.

large aDOuU Tile settlement
at this early in the winter season in
dictate that they have become holder
and more dangerous.
The settlers tell of nights spent in
discomfort because of the hideous
noises made by packs of wolves cir
cling about their farms, of the terror
exhibited by the live stock and the
extra precautions which must be
taken to keep the stock close to the
house and prevent their staying out
in the woods or brush after dark.
They even claim that in some dis
tricts, it is not safe for persons to
visit each other, or go far their homes
at night without carrying lanterns
and firearms.
The wolfkilling seaso usually be-
gins in September when a few of
the animals are killed about the
swamps. In October and November
more of the wolves are killed about
the clearing and around the farm
yards. The months, however, when
the animals are more easily killed are
December. January, February, March
and the early part of April.
During these months there is un-
usually plenty of snow on the ground.
If the snow is deep and light the
animals soon become half starved
because they are not able to run
down the deer or catch any game and
they become so bloodthirsty and
desperate that they will forget their
usual cunning and venture closer to
bonds of civilization for food. 1t is
during this period that the wolf
hunters are the most successful with
traps and poisoned meats. Unless
a wolf is pretty well starved the old
hunters say ne will shy away from the
slightest indication of a trap, or
avoid a piece of meat which looks the
least suspicious. When they are
nearly starved they stop at nothing,
and it is then that the hunters reap a
harvest of pelts.
The action of the board of county
commissioners In raising the counties
portion of the bounty until a pelt now
brings $40 is regarded very favorably
by the settlers and out lying farmers.
They say the board has taken the
right step toward encouraging the
hunter to make an extra effort to kill
the animals. 1t is claimed that with
the bounty now offered the settlers
can afford to let their other work go
during some of the winter months to
prosecute a vigorous warfare on the
wolves. By killing from four to six
of the animals in a winter season a
settler Is assured of a tidy income.
Previous to this winter the reward
offered for the killing Of wolves was
so comparatively small in proportion
to the hard work to get the animals
and amount of red tape necessary to
get the bounty that there was a lack
of interest and few persons would go
out of their way to hunt the pests.

Attempted SAFE BLOWING.
Three Men Attempt to Blow the
Postoffice Strong Box.

Fifteen minutes more and the post
office safe, containing yer $500 in
cash besides other valuables, would
have been blown by a gang of burg
lars Thursday morning at about one
O'Clock.
The robbers had evidently carefully
planned their work. The Firemen's
ball was in progress at the time and
the larger part of our citizens were in
attendance and appearances indicated
that this time was selected, the rob-
bers knowing that the streets in the
vicinity of the ~postofice would be
deserted.
The robbers gained an entrance to
the building by cutting out a pane Of
glass In a zeal window after which
the stop was drawn and the window
opened. The safe was being prepared
for the blast when Officer Lamuth
appeared and had words with one Of
the robbers who was evidently on the
corner to watch for surprises. Lamuth
telephoned for Officer O'Connor and
started after the lookout with the
Intention of arresting him. The fell
low went around the block and raj
up the alley to the rear of the post
office building where he evidently
gave the alarm to those inside.
Officer O'Connor arrived on the
scene just as one OF the men was
leaving the side door of the building
and no sooner did the burglar see the
officer than he pulled a revolver and
fired two shots at O'Connor who re-
turned the fire, without success. The
burglar then jumped behind the
building and made his escape.
A posse was formed and a search
instituted but without uccess The
posse patrolled the track between
here and Tower and found where n
of the men had run down the railroad
to the woods near Lonstorfs bridge.
There some Of the officers who had
gone down the road in a rig, headed
him off and the tracks led into the
woods. When daylight arrived the
trail was found to lead back to the
city. So far no trace of the men have
been found although Chief LaBeau
and che other officers have been keep
ing a sharp lookout for them.
The men had been about town all
day Wednesday and a good descrip-
tion of them is at hand. Other towns
have been notified and NO doubt the
crooks will be captured before they
get out of the country. Nitroglycerine
was to be used to blow the safe and
the cracks around the door had been
made alright with yellow laundry
soap.
This is the first time in the history
of this city that safe crackers have
attempted anything of the kind and
it is a matter of congratulations that
they did not come out Successful in
their initial performance.

GENIUS. A DISEASE.


Professor Rsbest laacDoresll 81 new
York TAtnks IL 10.
The influence Of health upon mental
activity has been receiving attention
from Professor Robert MAcDougall Of
New York. From the traits of five
American men Of science, az estimated
by twelve independent judges. he in
fers that executive ability, with breadth
and sanity,O mind, vary directly with
physical health, but Is inclined to sus.
pect that general mental efficiency is
prompted by conditions Of unsound
health.
The central nervous system IL per-
haps overdeveloped at the expense of
the rest of the body. Original mental
endowment, quickness and clearness Of
grasp appear to be independent Of the
health. The virtues Of will energy,
courage, capacity for leadership-f
on rapidly with extreme weakness, but
are often highly developed in medium
health. Reasonableness, unselfishness
and the like appear to belong neither
to the strong nor to the frail or nerv.
Ously unstable. Emotional sensibility
and refinement reach a maximum In
the delicate and a minimum In the
strong.

BEER KEGS OF STEEL.

Rails.

Made In Two Pieces O.t Of Old
Rails.
A process of making beer kegs out OF
old steel rails Joseph s. Heslop OF
Joliet, ILL.,, the inventor, believes is to
make him wealthy. says the Denver
Post.
In his valise Mr.. Heslop carries q
small model beer keg, made out Of
polished steel. which he says will with
In q few years do away with the old
and cumbersome wooden kegs entirely.
The steel IL only one-sixteenth Of an
inch thick, and the keg weighs only a
few pounds. but its inventor claims
that 1t will stand three times the pres
sure that wooden key will and that II
can be made for one-third the price of
Z wooden key.
The key ia made in two pieces, the
joint being hidden by a steel band. The
bunghole is hermetically sealed by a
patent contrivance which requires a
key to- unlock 1t. The hole Is grad
uated to fit any size Of spigOt.
Any kind Of steel Is used in it's con-
struction. but Mr.. Heslop is now using
old steel rails. The interior Of the keg
is covered with d pitch preparation
used in wooden kegs to keep the beer
from tasting Of the metal.
