BEAT the SLOT MACHINES.
Burglars Have Found the 0Nly Sure
Way of GETTING the Moaey.

Whether or not it was some one
who had been against the game or
whether it was some one who had
figured out a sure way of getting
the coin because he wanted it, we
do not know, but it is stated that
during Sunday night, after closing
hours, burglars entered the saloon
of John Nelson at the corner of
Chestnut and Railroad and with a
battle ak or some other instrument
of convincing nature broke upon
three slot machines and got what
they went after-or at least got all
there was in them.
The amount of their loot is not
known, but it is safe wager that
it was sufficient to pay board and
lodging for time.
The same night the jewelry store
of r. +. Bailie was entered through
a rear window and four watches
stolen, together with about $500
which was taken from the cash
register, the register being taken
from the building into the alley
and broken open.
No clue to the perpetrators is
known.

A Chanas IN the Ticket.

The original Independent Ticket
as selected included the name of
Henning Erickson as a candidate
for alderman from the First Ward,
but during the past week Mr.. Erick-
son has signified his intention of
retiring from the contest and his
place on the ticket will be filled by
NJ. T. Savage.
The new candidate needs no in
PRODUCTION to the people of the
ward or of the city, and that he will
make both good run and a good
alderman is unquestioned.

Virginia, 10; Hibbinq. 0.

The above score tells the tale. No
need of explanation aside from the
statement that Hibbing sent a high
school football team over last Sat.
urday to "do up" the Roosevelt
team-and they made a dismal fail
ure of the attempt. And in addi-
ton to losing the reputation they
sought they went home minus ban
ners, minus colors and minus foot.

PAVING SUIT WILL Be APPEALED.


Notwithstanding the assurance
with which it was stated by the
mouth-piece Of the administration
that the decision of the district
court in the. Chestnut street paving
question would*likely end the con-
troversy, D. w. Freeman, plaintiff
of record in the matter, has decided
after consulting with other interest
ed property owners on Chestnut
street to appeal the suit to the
supreme court.
In this decision Mr.. Freeman is
backed by a large number of the
interested property owners of Chest
nut street, although the owner of
1.-The tar-papered shack" has been
the only one pointed out by the
official mouth piece of the admins
tration as sympathizer in the
fight for right and justice.

near Vinegar Bend, Ala, before day
the same morning, dangling from a
high telegraph pole about two miles

peep out of the window as this spot
was passed and saw the gruesome
object swinging there in the air, a
silent but stern evidence of what
crime will eventuate in. AS the
train iourneyed further down other
passengers saw the other hung ne
gro, but our Wayne County friend
did not catch glimpse of him, as he
was not looking out 77hen the place
where he (the negro was gibbeted,
