In one of the acts of a play recent
ly produced at the Thalia theatre is
a scene representing a cottage, at
the window of which sits the old man
of the play. The william of the play
loves the daughter of the old man.,
who will not give his consent to mar
riage, and besides the girl favors an
other man. In the course of the scene
the villain approaches from the right
of the stage in full view of the aud
fence with a pistol in his hand, and,
taking aim, deliberately shoots the
old man. AS the shot is fired the old
man topples over and the girl rushes
out of a door. of the cottage and
screams:
Father has been killed! Who fired
that pistol?"
The villain leisurely saunters to
the center of the stage and calmly re-
plies:
There goes the man down the
road. II was Dick Turner, the village
blacksmith, your sweetheart"
AS the villain uttered these words a
small boy leaned far over the top
gallery rail and with outstretched
arms eXcitedly shrieked:
ooh. YOU liar,"-New York Times

Great sculptor's Early Struggles.

Augustin Rodin, the French sculp-
tor. had great struggle with poverty
and adverse criticism in his youth.
OF an episode of this early period a
writer says with that intiexible
will and singleness of purpose that
never failed him throughout his ca
reer, the young sculptor set himself
to express in clay, marble or bronze
his conception of life and art. He
used his leisure in working at night
time, in deserted stable he had
transformed into a studio, at his Won
derful mask of The Man with the
Broken. Nose After eighteen months
of hard and patient labor he finished
this mask and sent it to the salon. II
took the hanging committee fourteen
years to discover any merit in the
work, for it was rejected in 1864, and
finally accepted only in 1878"

John had the name of being the

which was apparently the worst night
in the year, even John wore a long

open for the minister to enter, Johns
doleful expression was so noticeable
that the minister inquired if he were

After an hour of dreary driving
through cold and rain John drew up
in front of a small house in which
the service was to take place. 1t was
two long hours of cold waiting before
the minister re-entered the cab, and
the home drive was made. With a
spirit of expectancy John once more
swung open the cab door in front OF
the minister's house. The minister
stepped out, and as he entered his
own door he turned and said:

South Dakota is lined up
for an anti-pass law that is
intended to Keep the rail-
roads pretty well out of
politics. The leaders on
both sides in the recent re-
publican controversy In
that state and also the dem
ocratic state convention,
came out in the strongest
terms in favor of abolishing
the pass. system. South
Dakota has taken the lead
in a numer tof legislative
lines, and the state is not
to be left behind on this
measure. The next legisla-
ture will probably pass a
law similar to the
the one which has just
taken affect in Iowa. The
Likelihood, however, is that it
viii be even more stringent Strinn eat.

Does a Shortage Exist7

1t Is reported in Duluth that some
of the furnaces north of the Ohio
River are suffering from an iron ore
shortage and others will suffer IL the
opening of navigation should unduly
delay the movement of the commod-
ity from the Lake Superior region.
The general impression now is that
the season will open about April Is,
certainly not earlier, and there is a
possibility of labor troubles, though
the feeling in marine circles Is that
all disputes will be satisfactorily dis
posed of before st. Mary's river and
straits are open.
A large number of boats are loaded
with coal for upper lake ports, and al.
together it does not look as IL tile ore
movement could get fairly under way
before May !, even If the opening of
the season should occur by the middle
Of this month. The lake vesselmen
are well satified with the existing
conditions. The very early seasons
are usually attended with much diff
Guilty from ice fields, and a shorter
but busy season is more to be desired.
1t Is reported that there has been
no additional chartering Of late, and
it is expected that the wild rate will
be identical with the contract rate, IS
cents from the head of the lakes, for
the first half OF the season, at least.
The supply of Bessemer ore for this
seasons delivery Is said to have been
practically exhausted, and there Is a
large demand for ore for early delivery.

Mrs. Sarah Lawrence, one OF the
oldest residents Of this city died Sat
urday morning at her home in the
Chandler location of paralysis after
an illness of several weeks. Mrs.
Lawrence was the widow of Jos. Law
renee who was killed here fourteen
years ago by VIM. Wallace after a
quarrel, and since the death Of her
son, Reuben, some four years ago, has
lived alone at her home.
Even her most intimate friends are
not aware of any Lying relatives and
a careful search OF her effects failed to
reveal anything bearing on the mat
ter. AS nearas can be ascertained
Mrs. Lawrence was IS years of age.
She was born in England and while
in that country was married to man
named Lewellau. Later she removed
to this country and married Mr..
Dunn Several children were born OF
these unions but all died in their in
fancy with the exception Of son,
Rueben, who died here about four
years ago. Mr.Dunn lived an invalid
for several years and a few years
after his death the widow became the
wife of Jos. Lawrence and came TO
Ely when the town was first started.
During late years Mrs. Lawrence
devoted much of her time to nursing
the sick and receives credit for much
charitable work among the i'll and
needy.
The funeral took place Sunday af-
ternoon from the Presbyterian church
Rev. Blake officiating. Diamond Re-
bekah Lodge, of which deceased was
member had charge OF the funeral.
The attendance was large. 1t was
the request OF Mrs. Lawrence that
the City Band lead the funeral cor
tege, the deceased Reuben Lawrence
having been the leader of the band
for many years. The remains were
laid to rest in the Ely cemetery I'm

the burial.

CITY ELECTION
Contested by all the
Aspirants.
John Dinsmore Elected Mayor
by 12O Majority.

The election Tuesday for city Of
ficers was one of the warinest held
here in many years and the results on
the various candidates was close
enough to make the count interesting.
Interest was strong and not until the
last ballot was counted could the re-
suit on some of the contests be prog
nosticated with any degree of ac-
cnracy.
The polls were opened at 7 o'clock
and from that time until 6 O'Clock
evening the precincts
were besieged with an anxious crowd.
TO further enliven matters, the
City Band was out and played
much soul-stirring, vote-impelling
music until late in the evening after
the results had been announced.
The maYoralty campaign was fought
on lpes between man and man and no
special platform had been adopted by
either candidate. John Dinsmore
was the winner over M. Weinzierl by
a majority of 100. Mr.. Dinsmore has

School and Prof. Phil. Hembdt Of
the Superior NormalSchool then an
nounced their decision it being to the
effect that Miss Trimble had received
the first honors and Miss Western the
second. Prest. Bohannon who made
the announcement stated that in
view Of the excellence OF the four con-
testants it was hard matter to
judge. His announcement OF the
winners was received with favor and
it was plainly to be seen that che
audience conceded with the judges.
While the people Of Ely desired
Miss Western TO win, they feel salts
fed with the decision. To the credit
of Miss Western 1t can be said
that her Lating was only one-half a
point behind that OF Miss Trimble.
The first prize was a gold medal and
the second a silver medal.
