WON ONE OF THE SERIES.
Virginia Wrests One Game From the
tlibbinQites in Series of Three.

The series of three games on the
Hibbing grounds on Sunday. Mon
day and Tuesday between the Vir-
ginia and Hibbing teams resulted
in the loss of the Monday and Tues
day games by the locals after Win
ming the first game against nine
men and the umpire on Sunday.
The Sunday game resulted in
score of to 3, the Monday contest
| resulting in Hibbing's favor by
score of to z and Tuesdays game
being walk-away for the Hibbing-
ties by score which would be a
disgrace to corner lot nine-l2 to
l, the one lone run credited to the
Virginia bunch being a home run
pounded out by Mccormick.
The Tuesday game was lost in the
first inning, pitched by Krick, Hib
l'bing piling up six scores in the
inning and having the game with
out any assistance from the um-
pire thereafter. The inning was so
punk it was good; it would have
made horse bat his eye to have
viewed the sorrowful attempt to
put up game, either by the pitcher
or by his-.snpport, and while Ired=
way who succeeded him in the box
did slightly better the support &C.
corded him was of type that could
not restrain the crowd, either Vir-
ginians or Hibbing1tes, from won-
dering who ever told many of the
players what base ball looked
like. 1t was an "of" day for tine
bunch, and no one of the crowd
with the exception of Mccormick
seemed to have anything on the
rest of them.
| The next series with Hibbing will
be on the Virginia grounds on Sat-
urday, Sunday and Monday, Sep
tember q, 22 and 23, and while the
result of the last game would be
discouraging to some it is a safe
wager that Virginia will play even
if the boys do not again 60 to pieces
at a critical moment.

POWER PLANT At NEW MILL COhdPi iEIED
Huge Battery of Boilers Installed and
Bio New Engine Successfully
Started.

The huge battery of eleven 72-inch
boilers, each IL feet long. and the
big 1000 horsepower Allis- Chal-
mers engine installed as the motive
power of the new mill of the Vir-
ginia Lumber Co., are now in. place
and the new plant was successfully
turned over week ago.
The big engine, one of the finest
productions of the Allis Chalmers
Company, has a drive wheel of "a
feet diameter, with a 52-inch face,
and in motion has a rim travel of
$3.50 feet per minute, a piston speed
of $50 feet per minute, and makes
20 revolutions per minute, capable
of developing 1000 horse power.
Each of the eleven big boilers,
which are the product of the Go.
gebic Boiler Works of Duluth, of
which ]. F. Dacey is manager, has
been testsd with a 225 pound cold
water pressure. Each is fitted
with extra heavy fittings. fur
nished by the Crane-Ordway Co.,
of Duluth, and equipped with high
and low water alarms manufactured
by Lyons & Co., of Cleveland, O.,
each boiler having a 800 pound
Marsh steam guage and each being
equipped with a top valve set at 125
pounds pressure.
This battery of boilers will be fed
from the mill refuse, and is capable
of developing 1000 horse power.
The entire plant has been in.
stalled under the direct supervision
of Chief Engineer Joseph Cassiday,
of the Virginia Lumber Company
and the successful installation of
the plant speaks much for his
ability and mechanical knowledge.
The new mill rapidly nears COM
pletion, although it is doubtful it
it will be in readiness to turn over
before the latter part of the month,
but when IN readiness the power
for its operation is now complete
and there will be no delays from
this source. The new mill and
plant throughout will be one of the
largest and finest in the northwest,
and insures to Virginia the en-
plOynent of several hundred addi-
tional men the year 'rouud.

Celebrated New Year.

The jewish pOpulatlOn OF Virgin
ia, Mt. Iron, Sparta, Mckinley,
Biwabik and Aurora, were attend
ants at the religious exercises in this
city on Monday and Tuesday in
commemoration of the Jewish New
Year and Day of Atonement. The
exercises were conducted in the
Eagle Hall, being presided over by
Rabbi Booth.
The Jewish New Year has been
kept from time imrnemorial as a
period of religious awakening and
uplifting among the Jewish com.
munities. The symbol of this awak-
ening might be illustrated by the
"shofar," or rams horn which is
blown during the day, and symbol
ICES the awakening of the Jewish
congregations TO their obligations
az a race The New Year is follow
ed by a day of still more vital i'm
portance in the Jewish calendar
the Yom Kippur or day of atone
ment, when every Jew appears in
the house of God and endeavors to
effect his reconciliation with his
Maker. This day, called the "white
FEAST is given over to "a hours alb
stention from all TODD whatsoever.
1t is believed that by the weakening
of the body and the deprivation of
physical comfort, the soul or spirit
ual part of man is led to a more in
tense realization of the divine pres
ence. Moreover, the physical dis.
comfort that is suffered makes the
worshippers realize their sense of
sin and may be regarded in the
light of a mild punishment for
transgression during the year. On
this day it is believed that God
summons up the actions of every
individual and passes judgment
upon them, and that this Judgment
may be modified by the repentance
and resolution to amend on the
part of the worshiper by his actions
during that day.
These two days constitute the
days of vital importance in the
Jewish community and are followed
by another celebration called the
"Succoth' or festival of the taber-
naCle; kept in commemoration of
tents or tabernacles erected by the
1sraelites when pilgrims through
the wilderness. Among the more
orthodox members an extemporized
tent is erected as an adjunct to their
residence. From the roof of the
tent hang fruits of all kinds to SYM
bolize the prodigality of nature and
within the tent .fhe family take
their meals, thus, in crude way
living over again the existence of
their ancestors. Although these
celebrations serve to accentuate the
individuality of the Jew, it has been
a cardinal creed in Judaism that
whatever religious belief helps to
uplift the individual and to give
him sense of higher things and
nobler responsibilities tends also to
the uplifting of the race as whole
and although the paths to this
ultimate goal may be divergent
and even contradictory, in the ulti-
mate result each mans effort in the
direction OF righteousness will lead
to the millennium or as the Jewish
phrase has it the coming of the
personal Messiah, who shall fill the
waste places on the world and
purify it OF unc]eanliness.

nificancy OF the transaction was all
with Mr.. Umbsen. If my memory
serves me correctly $4,000 or $4,000
was suggested
Q.-By him or by you? A--Prob-
ably by me.
Q.-Didn't you prior to the time that
went to you, didn't you tell him you
wanted $4,000? Al don't remember
ever mentioning that sum at all.
Q.-And didn't he go off and see
whether they would stand for $4,000
and then drop it for some little time
before Umbsen took 1t up. Any best
recollection is that Mr.. Cope called
upon me twice; that upon the first con-
versation did not accept or talk about
accepting; upon the second occasion.
in the meantime. Mayor Schmitz hav-
ing made numerous endeavors to get
the thing through, I told him under
those conditions I would consider the
matter. 1 also remember telling Mr.
Cope, because he was q classmate of
mine at the university and / didn't
want him to think 1 was In the habit
of doing it, but I would be willing In
this matter to do 1t for Mayor
Schmitz' interest in the people inter-
ested. In the discussion, the sugges-
ton as to how much the fee would be
was not brought up. My best recollec-
tion.
Q.-After you suggested $4,000? A.
mo mention was made of $4,000. I
think the suggestion was made Of
$50 900 and that becomes more clear In
my mind than that $4,000 I suggested
should be paid in advance and the
other $4,000 upon the passage of the
ordinance. That is my present recol-
lection.
Q.-And after Umbsen had been to
you, after you accepted the matter from
The San Francisco call., 1907-06-16

Umbsen, did you talk with Cope? A.
/ think not Mr.. Cope / don't remem-
Der ever seeing Mr. Cope in this con-
nection except on those two occasions.
Q.-After you told him about this
100000, 1t was a short time after that
Umbsen came to you? Al am more
and more convinced that the amount
was $4,000 and was not $4,000 and
$4,000 never talked of. Shortly after
that, two or thre weeks after that,
Mr.. Umbsen called, and stated to Mr.
Umbsen, I think. that Mr.. Cope had
called or some attorney had called with
references to the matter.
Q.-You told Cope in the two con-
versations that you would undertake
it? A--No. said to Mr.. Cope this:
That I would be willing to undertake,
and I also stated to Mr.. Cope tenta
lively that If that amount would be
paid to me that thought 1t could be
arranged Not having any conversation
with Mr.. Gallagher. 1 didn't know
whether it could or not / didn't tell
him that, therefore, l knew it wasn't
fixed
Q.-After the matter had been arr
ranged with Mr. Umbsen, you con-
suited with Brobeck or Brobeck con-
suited with you about ordinances? A.
Yes, after Umbsen had seen me.
Q.-Where did those consultations
take place? An my Office.
Q--More than one? A-Yes, sir; I
think more than one; two or three es-
pecially with reference to the ordinance

LEEDS POINT MOURNS
REV. Mr.. MCCONNELL

| The Presby terians OF Leeds Point
paid glowing tributes Sunday even
| ing to the memory Of their brave and
beloved pastor. Rev. E. s. Mcconnell,
who gave his life In an effort to save
his friend from drowning In Abseeon
Bay on Aug 6. A correspondent de-
scribes the service as follows:
The service was conducted by Rev
Mr.. Tyson, of Atlantic City, His SUBJ
ject was taken from Corinthians XIV.
57-5S: But thanks be to God, who
giyeth us the victory through our
Lord Jesus Christ; therefore, my be
loved brethren, be ye steadfasf, un-
movable, always Astounding in the
work of the Lord, for as much as We
know that your labor is not In vain
In the Lord Mr.. Tyson touched
his hearers when speaking OF the
deceased pastor and OF his heroic act,
as well as OF his earnest, faithful
Christian life. The choir sang thret
hymns, viz: beautiful River" "Abide
with Me- and "Jesus Lover OF Ny
Soul; the last selection at the re
quest of Mr.. McConnell's mother, Mrs.
Geo. Young.
Mrs. PaFthenia johnson read to
the congregation a testimonial letter
from Rev. Mr.. McConnell's grand
father, the Rev. Edward P. Shields,
of Bridgeton. This letter beautiful,
portrayed the Christian character oi
the young pastor from boyhood.
Mrs. johnson read another letter.
written by the pastors mother to
Miss Anna Leeds, superintendent OF
the Sunday school. The tone OF these
letters was very sad, to say the least
yet both of them told OF perfect sub
mission to the divine will OF God.
The pastors death has cast gloom
over his flock, for he was loved by
every one. Amidst all this gloom
there is q cheering thought found In
these few lines:
We shall sleep, but not forever.
There will be glorious dawn;
We shall meet to part, no never,
