Nav Day Doings.

The old custom of keeping the first
day of May is being revived, especially
by people who live in the country, who
make a practice of sending baskets
filled with wild flowers to their friends
who are so unfortunate as to be de-
barred from gathering them PERSONAL
ly. The city people observe the uay
by sending baskets of fruit and flow
ers to the sick, or to their friends who
may be in sorrow, and the children
have revived the English method of
hanging May baskets on the door
knobs of their friends and then run
ming away before the ring is answered.
These baskets may be made at home or
may be of an inexpensive kind pur-
chased for a trifie. They should con-
tain preferably wild flowers, fruit,
simple gift: and one young hostess de-
livered her invitations in this novel
way, hanging the baskets to the door
by loop of ribbon.

Diphtheria In the City.

A'quarantine was Wednesday placed
ON the residence of Jos. Skala where
several members of the family were
suffering with diphtheria. Several of
the children had been complaining
for some days with bad Threats but
home remedies were applied and moth
ing more was thought of it. Wednes-
day physician was called for the
first time and the quarantine was the
result. Martin, the year and a half
old son died Wednesday evening and
was buried yesterday afternoon. The
other afflicted members OF the family
are doing as we'll as can be expected
at this writing.
The residence of John Peterson on
Harvey street has also been quarant-
ined, the infant son being afflicted
with the dread diseaee. The case at
Peterson's is not serious and the
danger of contagion being the reason
for the quarantine.
1t Is to be hoped that the disease
will not spread to endanger the lives
of the large number of children In this
city and also Winton. The physicians
report large number of cases OF
measles and chicken pox among the
children OF the location residents.

The running team OF the Ely Fire
Department returned Monday at noon
from the Cass Lake Tournament with
s170 of the prize money and the tour
nament for Ely next year. The win
nings show the Ely team of excellent
mettle considering there were seven
other teams competing. The team
coming closest to Ely in the matter OF
cash was Eveleth which captured sl45
of the prize money, leaving:$S5 to be
divided among the other six Compel
ing teams. The "iron ore boys" from
Ely and Eveleth surprised the deni-
zenS of Cass Lake and neighboring
cities. Eyeleth also won the AssO-
citation banner and had points been
figured would have had about three
points the best of Ely. However, as
points were not figured, money counts
and consequently Ely is the winner
at the tournament.
Monday evening the department.
headed by the Ely City Band paraded
the streets winding up at the City
Hall where Mayor DensmOre made an
address complimentiug the boys on
the good work accomplished. Chief
Gleason responded on behalf of the
