FROM THE IRON RANGE,

Eveleth, Mimi, Dec. 12.-Thomas
Costin, formerly of Eveleth, was in
stantly killed at the Hull-Rust strip
ping at Hibbing on Tuesday night,
Dec. 3rd. Mr.. Costin was foreman at
the dump, and when a train of cars
were dumped a little after midnight
one Of the cars refused to place itself
properly on account Of a rock living on
the cross beam. These cars dump on
one side, but when he dislodged the
rock with a pick it dumped over on
the bank side and caught him between
the trucks, striking him on the head
and breaking his neck. Tom" Co.'S
tin, as he was known to his friends
here, was for about two years en-
ployed at the Adams mine as engin-
eer. He was a young man Of excel
lent character and had hundreds of
friends here as well as in Hibbing, and
all bespeak a kind word. When the
sad intelligence became known about
Eveleth Wednesday morning, words of
sympathy were heard all over town
and In the mines. Mr.. Costin was sim

The ore shipping season has come
to a close for the year 1907. The
mines in this vicinity shipped more
than 100000 tons. The Fayal mine.
which is an open pit and underground
mine, shipped 1,s74,0oo tons. The
Adams Spruce, an underground mine,
followed closely on the trail of the
Fayal, bringing up with the grand
total Of 1,750,000 tons.

Butte Hjbernians,


The first of a series of ten enter
tainments to be given during the fall
and winter months was held recently
at iibernian hall in Centerville, says
the Butte Miner
The program rendered was excep-
ttonally fine and a large and very in
terested audience was in attendance.
The entertainment was given under the
auspices Of the Ancient Order Of Hi
bernians in conjunction with the
Knights Of Columbus.
John j. o'Mara, president of the
Montana state organization Of the A.
o. H., presided. His opening address
was one Of the most interesting on the
program. He spoke eloquently and
forcefully of the history Of the Hiber-
nian society, which came into exist
ence in 1865 at a time when, under the
rule of Queen, Elizabeth the priests in
Ireland were being prosecuted The
celebration Of masses, he said, was
strictly forbidden under the pain of
death and the adherents Of the Cath,
olic religion in Ireland were forced to
hold their religious services in ravines
among the mountains and other OBJ
scure places where the priests might
sing the masses and perform the other
ritualistic rites of the church without
fear of nersec,1tion
In 1865 Rory Oge O'Moore completed
the organization of the Order of Hiber-
mans, the primary purpose Of which
was to supply priests for the church In
Ireland and for their protection from
persecution. For many years, and
even to the present day, the order has
thrived and in large measure ac-
complished those things which it set
out to accomplish, although the odds
against success were great and many
sacrifices were necessitated.
The A. o. H., in America, first came
into existence as a secret fraternal
order in 1887 under the charter from
Ireland. Since that time the growth
and accomplishments Of the order have
been remarkable. The Hibernians have
paid out in obligated benefits approx
mately $7,220.000, besides $4,5O0,00o for
charity. The fraternity has gone
quietly about its mission in the world
with fixed determination, definite
purpose-which was to make Ireland
a free nation once again.
Mr.. O'Mara spoke eloquently Of the
wonderful work of the society in
times Of the country's need and told
of the valiant service Of it's members
under the starry folds of Old Glory,
the adopted flag Of h-Americans.
The Hibernians, he said, had ever been
a genuinely patriotic organization. ana
had furnished more soldiers in times
Of war than any other fraternal orsani-
zation.
Jack Stewart Of Great Falls, who is
an ardent worker in behalf of Irish
freedom and who is largely interested
in the work of the Gaelic league in
America, spoke Of the influence of
Irish song and story, and in his me-
lodious baritone voice sang a number
of the sweet Irish songs which have
been poular throughout the civilized
world for many years. Mr. Stewart
sang with great feeling "Avourneen,"

HANDSOME NEW EDIFIcE.
Such Is the Holy Family Church at
Mitchell, 8. D.

Mitchell, 8. D.
In recent issue of the st. Paul
Dispatch appeared the following spe-
cial from Mitchell, South Dakota:
After worshipping for a quarter of
century in a. church that was erected
two years after the first Catholic serv.
ices We're held in Mitchell, the Holy
Family Church society will soon dedi-
cate a handsome new edifice that will
cost, when completed, over ST, 5000 The
new church was started two years ago
last spring, and it has been built along
without burdening the members of the
parish too much, so that upon the day
it is dedicated it will be free from debt.
The day Of dedication has not been
set, as yet, but 1t will likely occur
some time in January.
The dimensions of the building are
62x132 feet, the side walls being thirty
feet high, while the tower over the
front of the church is ITO feet high.
The building is constructed of granite,
and, as the picture shows, is a model
Of architectural beauty.
The interior finishings are very rich,
while the decorating Of the walls is
done with free hand work. On the
north and south walls Of the sanctuary
two beautiful subjects have been illus
trated in oil painting in practically life
size, that Of the Annunciation and of
the Holy Family, both Of which are
symbolical Of the Holy Family church.
The interior Of the church presents q
fine appearance, with the large arches
and columns, which have been decor
ated artistically. The church will be
equipped with a pipe organ costing
about $4,000.
The first mass was offered in Mitchell
by Bishop Marty, who came In June
1880, and the first resident priest was
Father McCarty, who remained but a
few months. Father Nolan succeeded
Father McCarty, and conducted mass
in building that had been erected
for store. Early in 1881 Father Hen
messy came to Mitchell, and during his
priestship the first church building was
erected. He remained until 1884, and
during that year two priests were in
charge Of the work, Fathers F1annegin
and Constantine. In 1885 Father shee-
han, now of Elkton, came. Under his
methods the church prospered and a
parochial school was built, and school
has been held every year. In 1892 he
was succeeded by Father Ahern, and
six months later Father Maher took
charge of the parish. This priest was
very much beloved by both Catholic
and Protestant. He died In January,
1896. and had nearly completed a
young ladies' seminary, which was

burned. The three years following
Father Hogan had charge of the work.
He was succeeded by Father Shea, the
present priest, under whose ministra-
tions the new church was commenced
and will be carried to completion. There
was $4,000 in the church treasury left
by members Of the church, before funds
were solicited. and the magnificent
church, not surpassed by any in the
state, will be credit to the Catholics
of Mitchell.

Gen. Sheridan's Request.

When Gen. John M. Wilson, U. S. A.,
retired, was superintendent of public
buildings and grounds in Washington
under Cleveland, he was invited one
afternoon by Gen. Sheridan to accom-
pany him on a carriage drive about
the city. The hero of Winchester was
in fine spirits until they approached
Scott circle, in the center of which
doomed the equestrian statue of Gen.
Winfield Scott, says the Washington
Herald Then Little Phil became Sc
rious. Refining up his horses, he sat
and gazed earnestly at the statue.
"Wilson," said Gen. Sheridan, II
have an incurable malady, and do not
expect to live more than year.
When I am dead I suppose that my
equestrian statue will be erected
somewhere in Washington. I request
here and now that you see to it that
l am not seated upon such an out
rageous looking horse as that upon
which the sculptor has placed Scott"
The Scott horse, by the way, was
modelled after one of the favorite
mares ridden by Gen. John Morgan,
the dashing Kentucky confederate
cavalryman, a fact known only to
Gen. Wilson and a few other persons
in Washington.

Importance of
Correct Standards
BY PROF. c. F. CURTIS

I wish to say at the outset that the
impression that the success of master
ing the great problems in the field of
agriculture does not require special
preparation and fitness as well as care
full study and a high order of ability,
is altogether erroneous. The idea that
successful farming does not require a
trained mind and the highest degree
of intelligence, Judgment and reason
never had any foundation in fact.
Robert Blackwell said over a hundred
years ago that it was easier to find
dozen men fit for cabinet positions
than one good judge of live stock, and
the conditions haven't changed very
much even to the present day. Has it
ever occurred to you that the ability
simply to Judge stock accurately and
well is at least of a rarer kind, if not
of higher order, than that which in
terprets the laws of nation. The
men who are employed to pass judy
ment on the live stock that goes to the
great markets of this and other coun-
tries, the men who are required to
know simply one thing and know it
thoroughly command a higher salary
than men who preside at the bar of
justice in the highest courts of the
land. This may seem like a striking
statement, but nevertheless it's truth
is fully attested by the records and
salaries paid for these positions; and
if you were to hunt the country over,
I will guarantee that you would find
hundred per cent more. men COM

shown in the cut
The hay is put up into cocks about

the hay caps. The weights that are
attached to the corners of the cap
tend to keep the cloth tight over the
hay, for as the hay settles the weight
drops closer to the ground. To shed
the water we'll the cloth must be kept
smooth and free from wrinkles, and
to accomplish this the weights, when
the caps are put over the cocks,
should be several inches from the
ground. This method gives the

it will pay farmers to spend some
money and time in making sure Of
a good crop of alfalfa. When the
dairyman has his barn filled with
good alfalfa hay and his silos full of
silage, remarks Hoard's Dairyman,
he has a splendid foundation for a
good dairy ration, and it does not
require heavy grain feeding to pro-
duce large flows of milk.
1t might be added that the hay cap
serves equally as we'll in the curing
of clover hay. The advantage of the
hay cap is not only valuable in pro-
tecting the hay from rain but from
the sun as we'll. The hay can be put

cured in the shade, which is better
than drying it out in the sun. Hay
cured this way is more palatable and
retains more of the leaves, because
they do not become brittle and break
off. The leaves of the hay are the
most valuable part of it and any sys-
tenn that tends to cure them properly
and prevents losing them in the field
is, in our estimation, worth practic-
ing.
