And Paddy is 'Wiliinq," of Course.

A member of the house of repre-
ssntatives named Lennon, of Min
neapolis, opened his mouth to re-
porter the other day and informs
the people of the state that in trip
over the iron ranges he found de.
cided desire on the part of range
people to see the Hon. Patrick f..
Dowling fill the lieutenant COVER
nor's chair next trip. Mr.. Lennon
may be right, but while we have
lived on the range for some thirteen
years we confess that we have not
heard any of the reverberating
echoes of this alleged desire of the
range populace. But we are not
surprised at the statement Of Mr..
Lennon that he saw Mr.. Bowling
and that the latter "says he is will
ing to be candidate if he is want
ed" Don't doubt for a moment but
Mr.. Bowling would be "Willing" to
relieve the ruler of the universe for
time, if he was wanted, to permit
the Deity enjoying half holidays
fishing. But we have not heard of
his being informed that he was
wanted as relief corps yet, though
the call may have been extended
and accepted.

Tap North Vein at the Colby.

Work on the old Colby property
at Bessemer has apparently proven
the substantially of the mythical
"north vein" which mining men
have always believed existed to the
north of the proven Gogebic forma-
tion, the work of drifting opening a
new ore body which warrants the
sinking OF new shaftto depth of
1000 feet to tap the new find.
This body of ore, it is believed by
mining men, will be found to par.
allel the proven formation the en-
tire length of the range.
The new shaft to be sunk will be
three compartment steel, evidence
that the work done has proven a
body of ore of considerable magni-
tude. Other companies controlling
adjoining properties have also COM
menced drifting north in the hope
of tapping continuation of the
new vein.

Council Meets Tonioht.

The absence of two members from
the adjourned regular meeting OF
the city council Tuesday evening
resulted in another adjournment OF
that body until this evening, when
if a full attendance is present the
proposition of submitting the offer
of sale of the plant OF the Virginia
Light & Water Co. will in all proba.
bility be submitted to a vote of the
people.
The proposition as submitted to
the council is for the purchase OF
the combined plant for $4,000, OF
the purchase of tlae-lighting plant
tor $4,000 or the water plant for $780,.
GOO. These figures are considered
somewhat high, allowing a good
marginal price for the franchise
and the question of purchase will
make proper theme for discussion
among interested taxpayers.

Fusei Oil for Minnesota CONSUMPTION.

Fusel Oil for Minnesota Consumption.
Under a recent decision of the
state dairy and food commission it
would appear that the 4O-rod variety
of red.eye is the kind protected un-
der the state laws of Minnesota. A
number of samples of St. Louis
county rotg gut were submitted to-
the board for examination, but in
asmuch as none were found to con-
ain'upwards of 25 per cent of fusel
oil they were declared to conform
strictly to the laws of the state.
And under this decision it is GER
tainty that the manufacturers of
the Peerless and antiquated rubber
brand of lumberjack liquor at the
head of the lakes and in the Twin
Cities will continue to conform very
strictly to the provisions of the law
as construed.
But we will wager that the men,
bers of the state dairy and food
commission have an unfailing rule
of calling for some brand manufac-
tured outside the state whenever
they bend their elbows.

An Eclipse

dition, but a cloud may ruin all. L
desire to come back overloaded with

High hopes, great eXpectations-in

expeditions are like the expeditions of
young men from the country, who give
UP the plow and haste cityward, ex-
pecting in a little while to become bank
presidents, captains of industry and
millionaires.
Alas, hopes high enough accompany
the expeditions of these youths. The
boy departs bravely. His honest father
and mother while away the long ana
lonely evenings on the farm with
dreams of his future success. They re-
count to one another his innumerable
virtues. Such virtues, they say, must
inevitably lead him to the governor S
chair, to senatorial toga, to a mayor
atty and so on.
High hopes-great expectations--iu
the end, nothing.

tive town, went to New York to seek

FORT SCOTT, Kan, Dec 25.-This
Guy is In an uproar over the remark
aole doings of a ghost. This ghost does
not wait for nightfall, but goes abroad
py day also. It's most frequent ap9
pearance has been at a window of the
MargraVe school house, where
strange face, peering out, has frighten-
ed many timid women. The same thing
has occurred after dark. and although
scoring neighbors have tried to cap
ture the ghost or person In the school
building, It has eluded their efforts. and
the AFFAIR Is as much a mystery today
as ever.
A group Of awe-strieken spectators
were watching the windows of the
school house one night when the face
appeared plainly visible in the moon
light. Former Policeman Lyman was
IN the crowd, and undertook to inves-
tigate at close range, but when he ap-
preached the window the unknown
person or thing threw down missiles
from an upper window. This material
evidence of ghostly malignity was too
much for some of the crowd, and they
took fight.
The majority remained, however.
backed by the pollcefnan's assurance
that II was some crazy person. When
he teephoned for Anderson of the
regular force 1t was believed that at
last the ghost would be captured. The
policemen again approached the en-
trance to the building, but this time
the ghost threw down q heavy iron
bar and barrel of waste paper. mar
rowly missing Mi. Lyman. The crowd
strengthened their guard around the
building. watching every window ans
door, while the policemen entered the
building and pursued the spook through
the corridors and up stairs. They could
not catch sight OF the ghost but plain
" heard its footsteps.
Nearing the garret the men were
dumbfounded to see that a ladder
leading up into the garret had been
drawn UP. Positive that the ghost was
cornered at last, one man remained
on guard, with a revolver in each
hand, while the other obtained another
ladder. officer Anderson then took his
lantern in his teeth, a revolver in one
hand and climbed the ladder into the
garrett There lay the other ladder
which had been drawn UP, but not d
trace of the ghost or person could be
found. The floor had no hiding places
and the sl1ylight was fast on the in
side. Mr. Anderson says he felt his
hair rise under his hat when his search
OF the garret proved the building was
empty The guard outside was equally
positive that no person could have es-
caped

A DOG PREVENTS A WRECK
Missouri Pacific Engineer Warned of
"Troubie Ahead" by Its
Barking
Special to the Herald.


KANSAS CITY. Dec. 25.-Missouri
Pacific train No. 106, from Omaha, was
running around a curve in the Cypress
yards in Kansas City, Kas., about Z
o'clock this morning. In the semi-dark-
ness, p. II. Burns noticed a small yel-
low dog barking furiously at some
thing on the track ahead. Burns could
not see the track around the bend, but
he knew there was a trestle there, so
he stopped the train and investigated.
He found that the small yellow dog
had probably prevented a wreck.
A horse had wandered out on the
trestle, got its feet tangled in the ties
and couldn't get out. Burns and his
fireman helped the animal out of it's
predicament. They cut away parts of
the ties, and it was an hour before the
train could proceed. Then they looked
for the canine hero, thinking at least
to give him pat on the head or a
bone as a reward, but the dog had dis
appeared.
