GENERAL NOTES.

The funeral of the late Judge
Chas. Z. Nelson, of Virginia, was
held in that city Sunday and was
one of the largest gatherings ever
held there. Judge Nelson was very
popular and many paid tribute to
his memory at the services. Judge

ed from the pulpit after Rev. P. o.
Hanson had concluded the Luther
an church ceremony.
The Hibbing Commercial Club
has taken UP the subject of a more
equitable distribution of the St.
Louis county road fund. Three
districts in the lower end of the
county, where roads are in excellent
shape, get as much as the districts
in the northern end which pays the
larger part of the taxes for road ap-
preparations. 1t is proposed to
group the First, Second, Third and
Fifth commissioner districts into
one road district, and the Fourth,
Sixth and Seventh into another
district. The last named districts
have roads to build while the others
have theirs we'll put up.
The St. James mine at Aurora
will resume operations in the spring
after shut down of nearly year.
1t is said that a large force of men
will be put on after the first of the
year and that everything will be in
running order early in the season.

ing Co. have moved their drills to

CATHOLIC MISSION.

The mission at the Sacred Heart
Church still continues TO draw large
crowds and to create keen interest.
Last evening THE Christian Fam.
lily was the theme discussed by the
missionary. He pictured the true
christian family as the fountain
head and source of all good citizen
ship. He then showed the important
duties that devolve upon the parents,
and how the very idea OF divorce is
Incompatible with the idea of the
home. In conclusion he portrayed
the home of a good christian family
when the angel Of death causes a
vacant chair there, and how old par.
ents look forward with hope to a
happy reunion beyond the skies.
Tonight's lecture will be on TEN
perance." Everybody welcome.

AF TERMATH
Of BIC FIRE
MAYOR BECK CONVINCED THAT
1T WAS WORK OF FIRE BUGS.

Chelsea, Mass, April 1.-THE
Chelsea police and state authorities
are rigidly probing today the start
ling theory held by Mayor Beck and
many other Chelsea officials and cit
liens that fire bugs are responsible
for the great fire of Sunday.
In the North Grove street morgue
are the bodies of three persons who
met death in the great fire, two of
the bodies being those of women
and the third being so badly charred
that six is ndistinguishable. The
bodies are unclaimed. II is believed
that the smouldering ruins still con
ceal more bodies and a thorough
search will be instituted.

LAUNCH ROOM
FOR JUDGE GRAY

Washington, April 14.-Judge
George Gray's boom for the Demo
cratic nomination for president will
be formally launched today by the
Delaware State convention. The Sc
lection of a delegation pledged to the
Delaware jurist is little more than a
matter of form and the proposed ac-
ton of the convention has already
had its effect in the national capital.
Gray headquarters have been estab-
lished here and a Gray campaign lea
que is already in process of forma-
ton. For the present. the efforts OF
the Gray boomers will be confined
largely to New York, PENNSYLVANIA
and New Jersey, the New England
States and the South.
Supporters of the Delaware Judge
declare that he will have the support
of both capital and labor. in case he
should secure the nomination. II is
asserted that his adjudication as
chairman Of the anthracite strike
commission has made him the firm
friend Of the union miners. and that
other labor organizations also favor
his nomination Judge Gray's sue
cessful fight against the force bill i'm
the United States Senate is alleged
TO have won for him the support of
thousands OF southern Democrats.
From present appearances, Judge
Gray will likely prove a more for

Governor Johnson. II is declared bv
the anti-Bryanites that the East and
Southeast have lacked only strong
