Several newspapers of St. Croix
county recently violated the federal
statute against giving publicity to
games of chance, and have been
called to account therefore by the
postoffice department. They publish
ed advertising matter announcing a
church benefit, connected with
which there was rattle or gift
enterprise.
"A new mining company was
organized to prospect on the Dan

Stone, secy.; w. B. Carter, treas.
w. j. Bailie, John Morehouse and
A. j. Howell, directors.
Jacob Bieg, an old Lancaster boy,
for some time engaged in the theat-
rical business, is here with his fam
lily for a visit. There home is in
Philadelphia. Mr.. Bieg travels under
the stage name of Harry Morphet

j. III. Fosbinder, the originator,
promoter, instigator and general
all-around man of the phenomenal
mine on the 0. p. David farm near
MontforC, was in town yesterday
talking over matters with local
miners and stockholders. Wednes-
day afternoon the drillers at this
prospect sunk through inches of
lead and 80 inches of black jack.
1t certainly bids fair to surpass any
thing in this mining region. The
enormous sum Of $1,000 is being
offered for shares at this time that
sold short time ago at SIS each.
Word received from Frank
Webb states that he was very
successful hunter during the season
just closed. He was member of a
party of five thatle Eveleth, Mimi,
two weeks ago on a deer hunting
expedition. The company of hunters
was headed by Captain Richard
Tuzona, superintendent of the
Foyal mine and returned with ten
deer and moose. Frank is proud
of the fact thst he was the one to
bring down the moose and also one
OF the deer. The moose was two
year old, coal black and weighed
four hundred pounds, dressed.
-Four trains representing a
monetary value of about one million
five hundred thousand dollars,
passed through Galena last week.
The contents of the trains were
race horses enroute to New York
from California. The trains, four in
number, left Rancho Del Paso.
California, Nov. Is. Twelve cars
constituted train, and twelve
horses made up a car load. Five
hundred and seventy-six of the
fieetest trotters, PAGERS and runners
of the coast were included in the
string. A metropolitan horse sale
will take place in New York City
this week and it is for this purpose
that the animals are being rushed
across the continent.
We love the man with the
roses on his tongue, the man who
sees the boys dirty face, but men
tons his bright eyes; who notices
your shabby coat, but praises your
studious habits; the man who sees
all faults, but whose tongue is quick
to praise and slow to blame. We
like to meet a man whose smile
will light up dreariness, whose
voice is full of birds, whose hand
shake is an inspiration and his
"God bless you" a benediction. He
makes us forget our troubles as the
ravens dismal croak is forgotten
when the wood thrush sings. God
bless the man of cheer. There is
plenty of trouble here and we need
not increase it. There is lot OF
dying done ahead of time.
