IN every country town there is a
sign at the railroad crossing like
this: Look Out for the Cars"
Now every boy in that town knew
it was railroad crossing the day
the track was laid. When the sign
was put up it took two days-not
longer-for every inhabitant to be-
come familiar with it. In a week
even the small children could read
and spell it backward. Did the
railroad take it down? No. If they
had the warning would have been
forgotten in a week and smash.ups
and damage suits would have re-
suited. One-time advertisements
act the same way. You must keep
everlastingly at it, like the railroad
crossing sign.

Republican members of the house

the country scribes.
THEY are having quite an uproar
in Hibbing as to whether the school
buildings can be used by the pupils
and some of their particular friends
in which to give dances. The same
proposal was made in Biwabik and
the school board disposed of the
suggestion negatively in about
three seconds. There was no dis.

standpoint of paving or population,

At that, Eveleth is mighty good

SPEAKING of the future of cleo

noted inventor, said recently:
mankind eventually will harness
the waterfalls and transform this
enormous pressure into energy and
this will simplify warfare. Aerial
vessels of war will be used to the
exclusion of ships and with 10000.
OOO tons of energy this country will
be equipped to rout the civilized
world. consider the greatest
achievement of humanity will be
wireless telephony, which may be
operated throughout the globe.
This will dissolve a thousand in.
tricate features of our life. 1t is
scientifically possible and it will
gradually become an actuality."

BURTON FINED s5
Man Who Worked a Queer Game
 at QusssspaUg.

Guess James Burton will not try to work that gol darned shell game at "Squaspaug" any more. Before Jus tice of the Peace Tyler in the town hall in Middlebury this morning Bur ton was fined S5 and costs. That was the heaviest he could get, otherwise he would have had more.
 Burton, you know, made killing at the lake last Saturday and was on hand again yesterday ready to lead the lambs to the slaughter. Every thing had been prepared for the shearing. With the pea and shells he was about to take in the shekels of the faithful when Constable Gibbs swooped right down on him, got him by the collar and brought him right over to the lookup in this city.
 Peter Bauby furnished bond of S150 for Burton who seemed greatly relieved when he was free again last evening. He was either faking it or was a newcomer at the game for he swore by all the gods of war that he would quit the game when the case was settled. This morning he was defended by Attorney Charles Bauby but as there was clear case against him, he had to settle.

Curious Greetings.

A French journal has been looking into the question of how different races express the eolloQuinlism How do you doT and presents some curious exam pIes. The Koreans, for instance, do not give or imply any ofense when they greet each other with the remark, You do look old" Perslans say. May Allah preserve your beard and cover 1t with benedIctions" Among a tribe of Fiji islanders the correct form of salutation is to pull ones ear. A Caro- line islander kneels before his friend. whose foot he grasps and slaps himself vigorously in the face with it. In the Sudan a traveller was addressed by a native chief as Mighty sun" the said chief finishing up with "Glory to thee. O splendid moon." the remark being occentuated by expectorating in the travellers right hand.

PAVING WORK BEGUN.
Warren Bros Started on North Will
 low Street This Morning.

Relief coming at last, This morn- ing the Warren Bros Paving Co start ed on the paving of North Willow street with which will come the long awaited double track. Consequently the residents of that section of the city feel a trifle pleased with the ex- pectation of having no more delays ranging anywhere from five minutes to half an hour. Although a goodly portion of North Willow street Is at present double tracked there Is just enough single track to make it mighty disagreeable at times and "at times" in this case means often. The single rail runs from Johnson to Ridgewood streets. and 1t was on these switches that almost all the de- lays occurred. It is this portion of the street that the company Is paw ing.
 With the completion of this strip North Willow street will be paved from West Main street to Clowes's steps. almost from end 10 end About fifty vorkmen were on the fob this morning and they went at the york In good shape The trolley service la all probability riIi bs somewhat af- fected while the pavement is being laid.

FOR SALE.
A Talent For Balancing.

The pleasant coffee room of the old Star and Garter at Richmond. which was burned down in 1869, was patron ized by Englands statesmen, politicians and writers. On Saturday evenings il was regularly visited by middle aged gentleman of rather broad stature, with gray hair and a large shirt collar which formed a conspicuous feature in his attire. He would dine always alone at particular corner table, and after dinner it was his humor to build up before him a pyramid of tumblers and wineglasses, which be topped with a decanter. Occasionally the whole structure would topple over and litter the table with Its ruins. Then the mid. dle aged gentleman would rise. pay his bill. including the charge for broken glass. and depart. The walters knew him well. He was Thomas Bab- ington, Lord Macaulay.

TIE KORAN ESTATE
Many Claimants For Properly of
 Man Who Died in Wolcott.

Four claimants to the estate of Mi chael Horan, who was found dead on his farm in Wolcott one very cold day last winter have been discovered in Westmeath county, Ireland. They are Sarah Cunniff, Joseph Horan, John and Michael Derwin The claimants in this country are James Reid, North Main street, James Heffrin, Cooke street, family named Carty, a family named Ramon, two families named Horan living in Hartford. Kate Tierney, Westville, Mass, and a family named Carty in Peekskill, N. Y.
 The claimants in Ireland are all re- lated to one another and they have made affidavit that they believe" they are the only heirs of Michael Horan. This affidavit is in the GUS tody of Attorney James E. Russell, administrator on the estate, and the deponents use rather strong lan- guage about anyone else daring to claim the property.
  the heirs, is of the opinion that the people in Ireland will have a very difficult time in establishing even a very slight connection with the de- ceased Horan. He said to-day they will have to go back about 150 years. If 1t turns out that they will have to do this, it is certain they will have a most difficult undertaking in estab- fishing their claim to this estate for records of vital statistics were not kept in any part of the British Isles at that time. In fact, it has come out in connection with the proposal to pension every person in the British Isles who is over 70 years of age, that vital statistics were not kept on record in Ierland until about seventy years ago.
 The Horan estate is worth about S1,600 and consists mostly of farm land. It will be some time before those who claim relationship with de- ceased will be given hearing.

KOREsH /. IS DEAD.
Body of C. r. Teed, Head of Queer
Sect, Held for Resurrection.

Cyrus X. iced, known as Koresh l.,
founder and head of the Koreshan
Unity Corporation OF Western people.
who bought a large tract of land in
Lee County, Fla, several years ago and
sought to establish their peculiar be-
liefs i'm that section of the country,
died early Tuesday morning.
The fact of his death was not dis
closed until Thursday, and when invaS-
tigation was made. his devout followers
said they were awaiting resurrection.
While the body of the leader lay unat-
tended, Victoria Gratia, the supposed
wife of iced, assumed the throne with
much solemnity, and declared that the
body should not be buried until there
was a manifestation of the divine will.
The basis of the Koreshan cosmog-
ony is that all life is cellular. original
ing in cells, ali living structures being
composed Of cells and propagating
cells; whence the conclusion that the
universe. the great aggregation of all
cells. must itself be a cell. the material
walls of which are composed OF the
shell of the earth.
Teed was one of Chicago's company
Of eccentric religious leaders up 10
about six years ago, when he removed
his headquarters TO Florida. 1t was in
Chicago that he developed his cult of
Koreshanity and gained the nucleus Of
following that eventually numbered
from $1,000 to 10000 believers.
