Coughs, colds and croup to which children are susceptible are quickly cured by it's use. It counter acts any tendency of cold to result in pneumonia, and if given as soon as the first symptoms of croup appear, it will prevent the attack.

Missionary Brady loose from his job as governor of Alaska. The Stroller does not live in Alaska and has no personal interest in that country, but he has some friends over there who have worried over Brady so long that they have become sullen and Respondent and are no longer the pleasant and agree able neighbors they were eight or nine years ago when they first started a movement to oust Old Fish Grease.
 Any suggestions the Stroller can give at any time are as welcome as the flowers in May and he hopes you will not hesitate to ask about any intricate matters that may come before you for adjustment. Also, please remember that if the nigger who is now collector of customs at Key West should be lynched or eaten by an alligator, the Stroller wants his job.
 P. S.-As spring is now coming on the Stroller enjoins you to remember that the children should be put on sassafras tea for ten days or two weeks. It is great stuff for the blood.-White- horse Star.

the machines are being hauled out to

be started just as SOON as they can be
set up. The first work will be done
on the Nelson lands as the indications
of an iron deposit are more pronounced
there than at any other place in the

uncovered there at slight depth and

COUNTY DIVISION
Meeting at Virginia Tuesday Ev'
enins Barren of Results.
Vermilion Range Practically Ig.
nored in the Doings.

The county division boat built at
Virginia, ran up against the rock,
County Seat" and was wrecked.
This was just as expected and what
this paper for months has said would
happen il the scheme to name tenn
porary county seat was foisted upon
the people. The MINER has contend
ed that the better plan would be to
have the legislature change the law
and eliminate the county seat matter
from the vote for county division.
After the matter of dividing was
settled the new county could fight out
the county seat question among the
larger towns in its territory. This
opinion was concurred in at Hibbing.
Virginia, which had its cap set for
the temporary county seat, naturally,
could not see things in the same light
and went hot-foot after division. So
much opposition had developed in the
various towns towards Virginia's APP
propriative propensities in the prem
ises that later their ardor was chilled
and they advanced the proposition to
make counties Of every one or two
townships north of Duluth, naming
Floodwood as one county seat, Vir-
glnia as another, Iibbing as another
and one on the Vermilion range.
A meeting was called for Virginia
last Tuesday and each town was en-
titled to three delegates. Ely had
most unaccountaDly (?) been oyer
looked in the notification OF meet
ing and, Of course, sent no delegates.
When the meeting was called To order
delegates from Chisholm. Biwabik,
IIibbing, Eveleth. Aurora and Sparta
were present.
The division proposition was dis
cussed by the delegates and the sense
of the meeting was that new law
should he made at the next session of
the legislature as above stated. This
is the most proper thing to do.
The other proposition in regards to
making five counties out of ST. Louis
might as well be laid on the shelf as
as near as can be asertained the people
