A press dispatch says that mechan-

good employment in the range cities

towns comes the report that sufficient
number of carpenters cannot be Sc
cured to complete the number of build
ings in course of erection. This is
particularly true of Eveleth, where a.
number of people have been compelled
to be satisfied with the completion of
few rooms, leaving the remainder of

The typhoid fever epidemic which
has been raging at Akeley for the past
three months has abated and all the
patients are on the road to recovery.
During the past three months there
have been 60 cases and of these %, or
more than one-third have succumbed.
AS to the cause of the fever the doc
tors seem to disagree. Dr.. Stone,
formerly of St. Cloud, claims that it
is not typhoid at all, but some other
disease with the same symptoms. One
peculiar thing about the Akeley ty-
phoid was that every patient who after
few days. illness began to improve
had relapse and died. The city of
Akeley is going to take measures to
purify the water and thus avert another
epidemic next year.
Tired OF making nightly rounds of
their home and peering under beds and
into closets, three maiden ladies liv-

about their premises. The three sisters
live on a farm. Several Intellectual
efforts were made to capture the ma
rauder, and one of the sisters finally
conceived the idea of buying the bear
trap. Her suggestion was immedi-
ately adopted by the others, and after
consulting the catalogue of a mail
order house, they sent for the largest
one listed. The trap has arrived at
the railway station in Otisco, and
every resident of the village is mani
testing a lively interest in the ssman
catcher. !"
