NEWS NOTES.

W. j. Foster, a well known con.
ductor on the Great Northern, was
killed in the yards at Kelly Lake Sun
day while switching cars. He was
standing on the pilot of the engine
and fell off. several cars passing over
him. Foster was "a years of age and
unmarried.
Judge Nelsrn, of Virginia. claims
he will contest the late election where
in he was defeated by james p. Carey
for municipal Judge. Nelson lost by
thee votes and thinks that recount
would change the result.
The Northern Minnesota Funeral
Directors Association was launched
in Virginia Monday with about 20
members embracing the two ranges.
Officers elected were as follows: A.
w. Hibbard, Virginia, president; Jas.
Bowling, Chisholm, vice president;
w. j. Ryder. Hibbing. treasurer and
FL. f. Gillespie, Virginia, secretary.
Fresh milk is becoming a scarce
article in all the range towns. Those
who are compelled to secure the same
find it most perpleXing .task. The
reason assigned for the shortage of
milk is that people are killing their
animals for beef rather than feed
them for the winter at the high price
of feed. 1t is said hay is selling at
$40 per ton.
All the Corrigan-McKinney open
pit mines on the range were closed
for the season Saturday evening.
This list includes the big Stephenson
pit at Hibbing, the st. Paul at Kee-
watin and the Commodore at Vir-
gina. The shutdown came somewhat
earlier than usual. The Mahoning
will run about 10 days longer and will
close as soon as the 10000 tons of ore
on hand have been shipped. The
Stephenson has shipped million tons
and the Mahoning 100000.

GRAND JURY
Brands Itself as Worthless
in Report.

The grand jury which finished its
labors Monday branded itself as a
worthless institution in a resolution
passed unanimously
The grand jurors expressed the OPP
inion that the system is obsolete and
does not meet with the approval of
the best citizens of the state. 1t is
declared cumbersome and no longer
meets the need for which it was
created.
There has been much talk of such
action by previous grand juries in
this district and others, but this is
the first time jury actually passed
resolutions of this same kind.
The resolutions passed are as fol-
lows:
Resolved, that it is the opinion of
this grand jury that the present grand
jury system should be abolished.
Resolved, that, we request the
senators and representatives of this
judicial district to introduce and urge
the passage of bill repeating the
present statute providing for grand
jury"
Resolved. that the clerk of the
district court of this county be and is
hereby requested to forward a copy of
this resolution to each of the senators
and representatives of the legislative
districts"

street corner talk, denounce the cor
porations, appeal TO the passions Of
the working people and then pass the
hat around for the benefit of the idle
miners at this place or that, pocket
the money and proceed to- the next
town to repeat the performance. 1t
is the easiest way of making living
of which we know. Not only do they
take the money of the industrious man
but they bring on trouble and idle
ness and suffering. 1t is about time
the workingmen of this region tumb-
led to the game with which they have
been deceived SO many times.

began but that number thinned out
during the day as fast as people who
had come to purchase a certain piece
of ground left the building.
There were many pieces of land
which were bought in by the owners
on the halifax plan. The law pro-
vides that the owner can buy the tax
claim for half the regular amount if
a sale cannot be made for a price
which covers all costs.
Under the law the tax sales must
be continued until all land is sold
either to private parties or to the
state. There are several thousand
descriptions and it will be several
days before the task is completed.

The little village could not boast
of having many entertainments, and
concert was an event which wss
looked forward to with delight by
the inhabitants. It vas at one Of
these musical feasts'' that a stran-
ger sang with great feeling "The
Village Blacksmith"
In response to a vociferous encore
the singer was about to start Crock
ed In the Cradls of the Deep" when
the chairman tugged his coat tail.
Better sing the ovid ''m over
again, mister" he whispered. 81

Satisfaction.

On one occasion some remarks of
Incledon, the once famous singer,
gave offense to man who resolv-
ed to have satisfaction" for his
wrongs. Accordingly he hunted up
Incledon the next afternoon, finding
him at dinner in noted hotel. "Mr
Incledon," said the visitor, entering
the room in a towering passion,
"you have been making free with
my name in very improper man
ner, and I've come to demand salts

attitude in the center of the room,
began to sing ''Black Eyed Susan"

SACRED HORNS.
The Queer Adornment Of Peculiar
Chinece People.


Adjoining the Chinese prefecture
ef Chienchang is a deep gully
barred by a river which no China
man is permitted to pass until be
finds bail for his good conduct in
Lolodom.
The Lolos are a slim, well made,
muscular race, with oval reddish
brown faces, high check bones and
pointed chins, from which the beard
has been carefully plucked. They
are far taller than the Chinese and
indeed than any European race, but
their marked popularity is the horn.
Every male adult gathers his hair in
knot over his forehead and then
twists it up in cotton cloth so
that it resembles the horn of uni
corn.
The horn is considered sacred,
and even if Lolo settles in Chinese
territory and grows pigtail he still
preserves his horn. The Lolo
mans principal garment is a wide
sleeveless mantle of red or black
felt tied about the neck and de-
scending almost to the heels. The
trousers are of Chinese cotton with
felt bandages. No shoes are worn,
but a conical hat of woven bamboo
covered with felt furnishes a head
covering as well as an umbrella.
The Chinese divide the Lolos into
two classes, which they call respec-
lively "black bones" and white
bones," the first being the mobiles
and the latter their vassals and re-
tainers. There is also a third class
of captive Chinese and their de-
scendants, called "watzu," practical
ly slaves, who are tattooed on the
forehead with the mark of their
tribe.
The Lolos never marry except in
their own tribes, captive Chinese
women being given to their bonds
ncn. The marriage of a "black
bore" is time Of great festivities
and many banquets. TIE betrothal
is celebrated and ratified by the
present of the husband to the
BRIDES family of pig and three
vessels of wine.
On the wedding morn the bride is
richly dressed with many orna'
ments. She is expected to weeT

clined OF not. In the midst of hel
tears the groom's relatives anc
friends dash in, seize the bride, the
best man carries her out of doort
on his shoulders, she is clapped on &
horse and hurried off to her new
home. Here she finds horses, cat
tie and sheep, provided by thu
groom's family, while her own peo
pie send clothes, ornaments and
corn. Women occupy high posi-
ton among the Lolos, and woman
chief is not unknown among th'
tribes.-New York Herald.
