CARNEGIE LIBRARY HERE
STEEL KING OFFERS $4,000 FOR
LIBRARY BUILDING.
NORFOLK MUST FURNISH SITE

The Philanthropist Requires That the
City Shall Pledge Sufficient Money
to Cover Expenses Of Library After
II is Completed.
Andrew Carnegie, steel king, will
give Norfolk a $4,000 library building.
A letter bringing Carnege's offer to
Norfolk was received in this city Sun.
day.
To secure the $4,000 library build.
ing that the eastern philanthropist has
agreed to build in this city, the city
council Is required to pledge an an
nual support of not less than $1,000
while Norfolk itself must furnish a
suitable site for the building. The
city council has already made provi-
sion for the necessary annual levy
while the city library board will meet
at once to take up the question of the
library site.
Carnegies response to advances
made to him by the local library board
came in the shape Of letter from his
private secretary addressed to the
city clerk. 1t was dated December IS,
1907, from New York and read as fol-
lows:
Responding to your communication
on behalf of Norfolk If the city will
agree by resolution of council to main.
tain free public library at a cost of
not less than $1,000 year and provide
suitable site for the building, Mr..
Carnegie will be glad to give $4,000
to erect a free public library building
for Norfolk"
This spring the city council by ordi.
nance created a library board and
pledged the necessary support.
The definite offer received from the
steel master brings the question of a
library site into the foreground. A
meeting of the library board will be
called at once to take up this matter.
1t is understood that the library
board will ask for popular subscrip-
tions to a fund to purchase site for
the new library building, The cost OF
the necessary amount of ground cen.
trally located is placed at about $4,000.
The location of the library building
will be a matter of Importance. This
will probably rest with the library
board although the city council may
take hand in the matter. A large
number of possible sites are sure to
be presented.
The present city library board
named when negotiations were started
with Carnegie, consists of A. II. Viele,
NJ. d. Tyler, Mrs. NJ A. McMillen, NJ.
C. Hazen, N. I. Owen, Mrs. John r.
Hays, Julius Huff, Mrs. II. E. owen
and Mrs. II. H. Hagey. The board
was named by Mayor Durland and has
effected temporary organization by
electing Mrs. McMillen as temporary
president and Julius Huff as temper
airy secretary.
The city library, now in it's second
year, has been started and maintained
by the library committee named by the
Womans club of Norfolk The library
which is now open on Saturdays in the
Bishop block will be merged into the
Carnegie library, giving a good basis
for working up a substantial city H.
brary.

stage of threats, however, for he was
quickly disarmed and hustled off to
the city Jail.
Saturday 1t was said that Moore, If
he would make a peaceful getaway"
from Madison on his Oklahoma trip,
would not be further prosecuted.

STRIKE ON
IRON RANGE

ernor wants it understood that the
miners have a perfect right as citi
zens to meet in public halls to discuss
the situation, and while parading will
not be tolerated, ordinary groups OF
strikers are to be allowed on the pub
lie streets and highways without mo-
lestation.
The governors action in issuing the
strike proclamation was largely based
on the report of the investigating com
mittee appointed by him to investigate
the situation The committee, con
sisting of T. D. O'Brien, Harvey Grim
mer and G. H. Day, spent day on the
ranges and obtained the views Of the
strikers and disinterested citizens on
the situation. The general feeling
seemed to be that the strike would be
a peaceful one, despite the fact that
Petriella, the strike leader, had in
structed the strikers to use violence
if necessary to prevent interruption OF
their meetings.

MAKES RULES FOR MARRIAGES.
Handbook for Pensioners Issued by
Archbishop Messmer.

Archbishop Messmer.
According to the Handbook for
Catholic Pensioners of the Archdio-
cese of Milwaukee," just issued by
Archbishop S. G. Messmer, no Catholic
in the archdiocese of Milwaukee may
hereafter be married after 5 o'clock
in the evening in the winter or 6
o'clock in the summer; no Catholic
may be married in a private house,
nor with anything but religious music,
solos and duets being forbidden; and
bridal parties are admonished that a
catholic wedding and a Catholic
church are not the place for a display
of female forms and freaks of fashion"
Wholly Catholic weddings must take
place in the church and mixed mar
riages in pastoral residences.
The booklet, which contains 120
pages, is comprehensive in it's scope.
Intoxicating liquors are barred from
picnics, fairs and other gatherings held
for church purposes; sociables and
card parties are forbidden on Satur-
days and Sundays; and lectures on
profane subjects, organ recitals, sacred
concerts, stereopticon exhibitions and
entertainments of a similar nature are

ord as preferring the election of an
honest, outspoken Protestant rather
than a Catholic in name only for pub
lie Office, who uses his religion as a
means to political advancement and
personal enrichment

Man Stepped on Frog and Was Hurled
in Air by Explosion.
Chippewa Falls, Wis, Aug. 1.-THE
question of whether frog ate dyna-
mite is puzzling the residents of Emet.
While stumps were being blown out
of a new road, ten pounds of dynamite
disappeared mysteriously. Yesterday
George Humber accidentally stepped
on bullfrog, which exploded instant
ly, tearing a large hole in the ground
and hurting him several hundred feet.
He came down on soft spot, and be-
yond being shaken up was un1njured.
While some of the farmers are posi-
tive that the frog ate some of the dy-
Mantle the more conservative are of
the opinion that the frog was probably
only feasting upon the explosive when
Humber came along.

This Week Will See End of Strike.

This Week Will See End of Strike.
Duluth. Aug. 6. - A News-Tribune
special from Hibbing says
"The third week of the strike on
the Mesaba range, which was engi-
neered by the Western Federation OF
Miners, probably will see the last
of the conflict. 1t is believed by those
who have been constantly in touch
with the situation that the next seven
days will witness the elimination OF
the struggle. The crisis is past, and
no further trouble of a serious nature
is expected unless something unfore-
seen occurs"
The Western Federation of Miners
has not given up the fight, and the
statements in the foregoing must not
be construed as indicating that it will
abandon the purposes which gave
birth to the strike
Miners Not Disheartened.
On the contrary, the leaders are en-
tering into the third week of the labor
difficulty with renewed yigor.
The federation on the range is now
led by the national secretary, G. E.
Mahoney. He has prepared several
thousand circulars which will be given
to every miner, urging them to con-
tinue the conflict with the Steel cor
poration. He advances the claim that
the federation is gathering new re-
cruits every day. The federation is
preparing for big labor conflict two
years hence, following the presidential
election.
About 1000 miners, it is expected,
will return to work Monday morning.
Quiet Now Prevails.
Within a few days all of the open
pits of the Steel corporation will be
shipping so per cent of the ore mined
by that corporation on the Mesaba
range. The Independents are working
all of their open pits
In the Eveleth-Sparta- Virginia dis
trict the miners will resume work in
the underground mines The situation
on the Mesaba range east of Chisholm
is more satisfactory than in the Hib
bling and Chisholm districts, and near
ly all of the local deputies have been
discharged from further service In
order to maintain the peaceful status
that prevails at the Hibbing Chisholm
district, deputies imported by the
United States Steel corporation, under
Sheriff Bates, will remain on duty.
