The State house of representatives
did q good thing last week in decree
ing the sale of the old capitol build
ing, and the Senate will likely concur
when tbs measure comes up in that
quarter. 1t is of no earthly use to
the State, and its retention was only
advocated on the plea of sentiment,
but sentiment would never furnish
the annual appropriations to keep the
old house from falling down. Besides,
there are memories connected with
the building that we do not care to

to sense of right. There is no doubt
that it has already been indelibly
written on the wall that Charles
Scott will be the next governor of
Mississippi.
1t is most fitting that a private
Confederate soldier and humble
citizen should write this small tri-

guished citizen and soldier--a gentle
man without fear and without re-
proach.

Smith, general organizer of the South

will develop into candidate for
the United States Senate to succeed
Senator Tillman. If such a move

no time in resigning his present posi-

Frightful Wreck on p. & Z. Road.

Passenger train No. on the Philadel-
phia and Erie Railroad, which left Erie
at $50 o'clock Saturday afternoon, was
wrecked about 1920 o'clock at Horns
Siding between Garland and Spring
Creek, crashing head-on into light en-
gine bound for Erie, killing three and in
juring twenty-one.
Among the killed was Albert Near, a
former resident of Nebraska, Pa, whose
home for the past ten weeks has been at
Kane, Pa. He was fireman on the engine
which met the passenger train. He leaves
a wife and two children. His age was
about So years.
The other dead are Thos. Finn and
Fred Herman, engineer and fireman OF
the passenger train. The injured were
taken to the hospitals at Cory and War
rem, and it is thought some of them are
too seriously hurt to recover.
The cause of the wreck was due to the
forgetting of orders on the part of the
engineer of the light engine, Thos. Kav-
anaugh, who was directed to wait at
Garland to let the passenger train pass.
Forgetting about these orders as well as
about the Erie passenger, he went ahead
at full speed and crashed hesd-on into
the express. His injuries are very
serious and he is not expected to recover.

New Officers of Eli Berlin Post.

The newly elected officers of Eli Berlin
Post, of East Hickory, were installed on
Saturday last at 2 o'clock p. M, j. AL
baugh acting as mastering officer. The
door was open and free to all. Post Com
mander W. X. Small gave his experience
as a prisoner at Andersonville and other
noted hotels of the South. The desc ip-
ton he gave were facts as he saw them
and was such as to bring tears and smiles
closely following each other. p. P. G.
Witherell gave an interesting talk in his
usual happy style and referred particu-
larly to the little affair at Gettysburg.
. The ladies of the W. G. T. U. per-
formed the noblest act of all. They came
with well filled baskets and all were in
vited to partake of "lunch." Well, If
that was really "lunch," we can form
no opinion what "square meal" would
be like, in their opinion. To those ladies
we do and will ever feel very grateful.
AS Post we were never in better con-
dition. Our semi-annual reports were
first to reach Department Headquarters.
We tender our thanks as a Post to all
who mingled with us OH this occasion
and especially to our lady friends for the
bountiful repast prepared for us all.

that was expressed by the speakers is

Associates of L. w. Powell, retiring

president Of the Pittsburg Steamship
company, gave a banquet in his honor
at the Kltchi Gammi club In Duluth
Saturday evening and In all the de-
tails that go to make up the formal
leavetaking of a cherished friend and
associate in this manner it can be de-
scribed as the most elaborate and in
all respects gratifying event of the
kind that has ever taken place in this
club.
AS further token of their esteem,
Mr.. Powell was presented with one of
the finest Swiss watches that can be
purchased for money.

His associates expressed regret that
he is to leave, and qualification that
he is to enter larger field, where all

federal control OF Insurance would ap-
ply net only to life insurance but to
fire insurance as well, and therefore
the movement is a matter that fire
companies throughout the state of
Minnesota are interested in.
While the burden Of Mr.. Steiner
sons argument is based on the desir-
ability of not interfering with the
state system for the sake of the tax
from which the apportionment to fire
companies IS made, the tenor of his
contention is on the broader grounds,
viz, that lie does not believe In invad-
ing the jurisdiction of the states in
such way as to destroy or impair it.
The fire companies in the state
should get busy and do all in their
power to combat the idea as the two
per cent received is just due to all
fire departments and source OF much
benefit to the Relief associations,
branches of the firemen created for
the care Of its members in cases of
disability incurred while at a fire. So
far no just reason has been advanced
why the state should not be allowed
to supervise its Individual insurance
laws.

HOPKINS FREED
Jury in the u. S. Court Declare
Him Not Guilty.

The case against Louis j. Hopkins
for conspiracy to defraud the govern
ment was closed in Duluth Saturday
after trial of two weeks when the
jury returned verdict of mot guilty"
after three hours elaboration. The
jurors said they were all agreed when
they. first left the court room that
Hopkins is not guilty, and the delay
in the verdict rested solely upon ex-
aminations of the documentary evil
dence, which occupied nearly three
hours.
This case has been one of the hard
est fought battles ever up before the
U. S. court in Duluth. The govern
ment's case was ably handled by Dis
trict Attorney Haupt and his assist
ants, Messrs. Eagert and Dickey and
arrayed against them were Attorneys
Washburn Of Duluth and Severance
of ST. Paul. Every iota of testimony
adduced on either side was contested
by the able attorneys and the trial de-
veloped sharp legal points on both
sides.
The jurymen say that at no time
did the testimony show that Hopkins
was in any way involved in the fraud
ulent manipulation Of timber and
stone claims and lie was completely
exhonorated from all charges. Svend
Olson who was tried on the same
charge two years ago did not fare so
we'll, he having been found guilty and
fined 81 900. The Olson case went to
the circuit court Of appeals, was re-
versed and sent back for new trial,
which.has not been held.
The indictment against Geo. G.
Swallow, partner Of L. J. Hopkins,
doing business as Swallow & Hopkins,
was dismissed and the firm now stands
free of any charge. 1t is generally
supposed that the Olson case will
never come up for trial.
The many friends Of the firm in this
city and Winton are more than pleased
at the outcome OF the case. Opinions
have been freely expressed and the
consensus was that after tie govern
ment had received its $3.50 per acre
for the lands it was not defrauded as
that was the price placed upon it for
the purchase under the timber and
stone act.
The case was of particular interest
to the people OF Ely as the alleged
conspiracy played its part in the i'm
mediate vicinity OF this city and Win

KILLED BY ENGINE
Eddie Penslaze Dies from Effects
of Injuries.

1t was with utmost sorrow that the
friends OF the family Saturday even
ing learned OF the accident causing
the death of Eddie Penglaze, oldest
son of Capt. and Mrs. Jos. Thomas
at Hibbing. He was Is years of age
and was born in this city where he re-
sided up to several years ago when his
parents removed to Hibbing.
1t seems that Saturday afternoon
he went to the Morris, near Hibbing,
to spend the afternoon with friends
about the mine. He accepted an in
vitation from an engineer to ride on
the dinkie and as it was coming up
out of the mine followed by another
engine the two cars came together at
the top, when the boys right leg was
caught between ,the two machines.
The leg was badly mangled above the
knee. He was at once removed to the
hospital, where preparation was made
for amputation. The lad, however,
showed such weakened condition it
was thought best not to perform the
operation until he recovered some
what from the shock. but he did not
rally.
He was fine specimen of boyhood,
was foremost in all youthful athletic
games and was popular with boys and
girls of his age, to whom his sudden
death is shock. He attended the
Hibbing high school and was favor
lite with teachers and classmates be-
cause of his sunny disposition.
The funeral occurred Wednesday
from the M. E. church and was large
ly attended. The parents have the
heartfelt sympathy of the citizens Of
this city where the boy was a favor
lite of all who knew him.

Harry A. Chinn, secretary of the

from Congressman HalYor Stevenson
a circular letter calling attention to
the movement to place interstate in
surance within the jurisdiction of the
federal government and stating that
should this attempt be successful the
result would be to nullify the state
power TO tax, which is the basis for
the apportionment to fire companies
in this state of two per cent of insur-
ance premiums. Accompanying the
letter were few copies of Mr.. Steen-

Dec. 10th, in which the matter was
