and Lillian Hoar returned Monday

and Lillian Hoar returned Monday
from Eveleth where they had been as
delegates to che Sunday School Con-
vention from the Ely M. e. Sunday
school. The delegates report good
time DIT Eveleth while attending the
meeting. 1t was not decided where
the next convention would be held.
The only invitation before the meet
ing was from our town, but, it was
turned down because Ely is so far
away. We are on the other side of
the hill those Mesaba workers didn't
seem to think about when they were
so anxious that we come over on their
side for the convention. Two con-
ventions have already been held on
that range and if.those Sunday school
workers expect That we are to unite
with them in this work, we have
right to expect that they will unite
with US. If they expect us to go to
their range for conventions then we
have right to expect that they will
return the compliment and come to
our range. 1t is no harder for them
to come to Ely from Hibbing and Vir-
GINA than for us to 20 from Ely,
Winton and Tower and other places
to Eveleth, Virginia or Hibbing.

Easy to Run a Newspaper.

The easiest thing in the world Is to
run newspaper The paper, type
and ink are all made by other people
and delivered right to the publishing
office, and all the machinery, presses,
folders and the line of necessities are
built by accommodating people who
not only bring them II the newspaper
publisher, but set them all up for him
and then set the whole business GO
ing. Now what have those fellows
who get out newspapers to do any
how, that they make such a fuss
about, and are respected and looked
up to? Why, it's cinch! Get the
news? Why, the wire brings them all
the out-of-town news that they don't
fake, and few cheap repc rters run
around and get the dope" from the
police courts and other public places.
They just snooD around and pick up
things any old place. Why, that's
oead easy, the machines do all the
work, and they're worked to death,
and then sold for junk, and the bust
ness manager and editors draw all
the money. All they do for 1t is to
cuss things and write few editorials.
Publishing newspaper is the biggest
graft there is. Anybody can do it.

OPEN HOUSE
Four Hundred Citizens Visited
New School Building.

The pupils of the High School ten
dered the citizens of Ely an opening
night at the new High School build
ing Monday evening and four hum
dred were present, inspected the
structure and listened to the program
prepared by the High School classes
The building was illuminated
throughout and presented an impos-
ing appearance. The visitors assem-
bled in the auditorium and after list
ening to a program Of instrumental
and vocal solos, dialogues, declama-
tions and choruses, were escorted
about the building by the pupils.
The program opened with the
"Song of the Viking" by the High
School. Miss Doris Knutson rem
dered piano solo and was forced to
respond to an encore. The dialogue
dad Says so Anyhow" by Miss EN-
ma Western and Arthur Toms was
received with much applause. Misses
Myrtle Holmes anu DedJIlCe Icln-
erick rendered very pleasing vocal
selections and Miss Edith TreZOna
gave an excellent piano solo. "Die
Lorelie" by the German classes, Jim
Butler and the Owl" by Arthur Toms,
Studying for the Contest" by Miss
Myrtle Hedloff and "Aunt Shaw's
Jug by Miss Emma Western were
excellent and the dialogue Getting
Ready" in which Misses Carmen Mil
Ter Leona Hedloff and Doris Knutson
and Walter Esenach and Jas. Will
liams took part, showed much skill.
The entertainment closed with the
octette by the High School girls.

Northern presumably to locate road
from that place to International
Falls. Various reports have been in
circulation regarding this proposed
line, reports from Hibbing being that
the surveyors were heading from
Dewey lake to Warroad on the Ca
madam Northern at the southwest
end of the Lake Of the Woods.
This looks like another line from
Duluth to Winnipeg, in connection
with the Canadian Northern. 1t is
evident that there is strong game of
railroad in progress in the territory
between the Mesaba range and the in
ternational border. The Duluth,
Rainy Lake & Winnipeg road has al
ready awarded contract for extend
ing It's line from Ashawa to Interna-
tIonal Falls aud Fort Frances, and on
TOP of that announcement comes the
news that the Great Northern is sur
veying line from Dewey Lake to
Warroad. In addition the Minnesota
International is now built In the di-
rection of International Falls as far
as Ripple and will ultimately arrive
at the Rainy river town.
1t has been reported from time to
lime for the past six years that the
Great Northern would build to the
international border, but nothing has
thus far come Of it. 1t has been re-
ported at times that the Great Nor
Lhern was trying TO buy the Rainy
Lake road, but nothing came of the
negotiations, if they really ever were
in progress. 1t seems evident, how
ever, that the Great Northern has in
view line to the Rainy river country.

Pleasant Time.

The entertainment given at Win
ton Tuesday evening was an enjoy
able affair, Those who went from
here and took part were welcomed by
an appreciative audience. Miss Myr-
tie Hedloff and Miss Ethel Prisk were
both recalled for the second number,
while Arthur Toms captured the aud
fence so thoroughly that they would
not be silent for the announcement of
the next number until he had given a
third. The Winton people were
highly pleased with the entertain
ment. Those from here who took
part in the program were Misses
Beatrice Petherik, Ruth Prout, Ethel

and Arthur Toms and G. H. Blake

Banquet a Success,

The Sixth Annual Banquet of the
Garfield Republican Club in Duluth
last Friday evening was success
both from a social as we'll as political
standpoint. Over 800 people were
present and everything worked
smoothly and tremendously.
Many prominent guests from the
southern part of the state were pres
ent, and the addresses and music
were listened to with marked atten-
tion, applause at times being deaf
ening.
E. L. Millar as toastmaster was up
to his usual fine style and many were
the regrets that Mr.. Millar had not
been assigned a place on the program
for an address. l. N, Lenroot of SUI
perior. candidate for governor of Wis
consin made stirring address as did
also NJ, M. Boutelle of Minneapolis, C.
G. Haupt and julius Block of st.
Paul, W. c. Culkin and c. B. Miller

THE CAUCUS
Hot Time in the Old Town Fri.
day Night.

The caucus, or primaries. Friday
evening developed rather warm ano
ultry evening. The voting was fas
md furious and when the ballots were
counted several sure candidates were
somewhat disappointed.
The meeting was called to order b,
j. w. Osborne and he was also mad,
permanent chairman. Nick Somero
and Andrew Watilo were elected a.
judges and Arthur Sheridan and
Lewis j. White as clerks. 40S ballots
were cast. The names of all candi-
dates were printed on one ticket with
the exception of the special munich
pal judge whose name was written In
by the voters. The vote was as fol-
lows
Mayor-M. Weinzierl. 139; John
Dinsmore, 262.
Treasurer-S. S. Childers, IS; P. W.
Sture. 103; L. B. Brockway, 204.
Municipal Judge-John Cosgrove.
100; Thos. Whitta, 232.
Assessor-Thos. Jury, 232: Frank
Hodge. 1872.
Special Judge-A. J. Kane, 116.
Saturday evening was the latest
time allowed for filing certificates of
nomination and petitions and the
ticket is the same as the above with
The exception Of the treasurers for
which l.. B. Brockway is alone.
The aldermen in the wards as they
appear on the official ballot are as fol-
lows:
First Ward-.F. G. Miller, Herman
Kandelin, j. H. White and John
Cove.
Second Ward-Wm, Vouti and Olof
Knutson.
Third Ward-Marko Petritz. Mar
in Skala and Louis Eisenach.
AS usual, the annual question as to
whether man defeated at the caucus
at which all the voters voted. could
get on the ticket. has been threshed
over pro and con on the streets bur
nothing further was done in the mat
Ter and all those whose petitions were
filed are on the tickets essssas-
The question that was the most
discussed is as to where the petit
TONERS secured their signers, the
claim being made that all the voters
were present at the primary election
Friday evening and cast their votes.
The law it is understood, being ex-
picit in declaring that no one who
voted at the primaries or caucus,
could legally sign petition for can
didate whose name was before the
people at the PRIMARIES or caucus.
On the other hand the question has
been raised as to whether the caucus
was what the law had in mind when
the provision was made. The ques-
tion remains as before and yearly hobs
up as a subject for ante-caucus debate.
1t would be good idea to appeal to
The attorney generator other author
ity and have the matter effectually
disposed of for future times. If we
are going at this thing illegally it
would be well to make change. At
any rate the annual debate would be
settled.
From the ticket as given, the cit-
Zens can surely pick a satisfactory
set Of officers to serve them.

MANCHURIAN DOOR SHUT
FOREIGNERS COMPLAIN.
Merchants Reported Handicapped
by 4ctioa of Japan.

Picking, June 17-Widespread and growing
dissatisfaction is manifested by American and
European merchants, banks and shipping firms
against the Japanese administration IN Man
churia. The Japanese occupation under the
Portsmouth treaty viii continue until next
April and in the mean time foreign commerce is
almost blocked the Japanese merchants gaining
advantages which make it increasingly difficult
to compete with them. Foreign goods enter
Manchuria through New-Chwang. where the reg
ular Chinese customs duties are levied, while the
japanese import through Dalny and An-Tung
without duty.
Moukden and An-Tung arc nominaily opened
TO foreign trade, but foreigners may not go IN
land without Japanese passes. while many jap
anese merchants, miners and promoters are al
lowed to travel through the country free. For
eign merchants complain that obstacles are
placed in the way OF shipping goods to the inte-
rior from New-Chwang, the japanese cohtroillng
the railway. =,
An-Tung and Moukden at present are practi-
cally worthless bases for foreign trade. because
of the difficulty in distributing goods from these
points The foreign merchants are further nan
dicapped by the circulation of war notes to an
amount estimated at between 50o00.OO0 and TO-
100000 yen, which can be used only in Japanese
trade.
Consul General Sammons visited Moukden and
An-Tung to arrange with the Chinese the detallS
of the opening of these points TO foreign trade
under the American treaty. 1t is understood the
lations similar 10 those whereby Ta-Tung- kao
and An-Tung were recently opened, which gives
China a greater control Of foreign settlements
than she had in the old treaty ports.

THE COREAN REBELLION.
Details of HOng-JW's Capture-Ihe
ReUOH Widespread.

Victoria B. c., June 1.-THE steamer Tartar.
which arrived yesterday from Japan, brought
further advices of the insurrection in Corea. At
Hong-Ju a force of Japanese with artillery
blew up the city gate and rushed the city. Five
hundred rebels occupying that place were de-
feated and Mingchiongsk, the leader was killed
with many others
The Japanese took advantage Of the failure of
the Corean troops to cope with the insurrection
to strengthen their political position. Japanese
papers urged the resident general not TO lose
time by making representations regarding the
outbreak. but TO dispatch troops without
sulting the Corean government. This done,
and two companies of infatry with some cavalry
and artillery left Seoul May 27. They
rived at Hong-Ju three days later, being delayed
one day by flooded rivers. and reinforced the two
companies which were already outside the walls.
Nearby villages were occupied and Hong-Ju
thoroughly invested before the attack on
the city began with a bombardment, the insur-
gents replying with a rife fire from the walls.
The following morning two gates were blown
up and the Japanese infantry rushed the city.
a number of rebels escaped and made their
way south to join the insurgent force which was
much stronger at Kang-Kyong. where the
japanese settlement had been looted and num-
ber of Japanese killed. The rebellion was wide
spread, affecting several provinces, and sporadic
outbreaks were reported both north and south.
On the Halu the japanese timber companies
mad oeen attacked and driven away by COreans
with rifles, and the RATS that floating down
to An-Tung for the troops were destroyed.
Two gendarmes met forty rebels at Put-Koak
and, notwithstanding the immense odds the
gendarmes opened fire. The Coreans armed
with matchlocks, returned the fire. but could not
cope with the two gendarmes lying behind rocks
with magazine rifles. The rebels finally fed
leaving eleven matchlocks for the gendarmes
