 ITO what was said in the case may be added that if the election there in referred to meant valid election. under a valid law, the provision in the general law would be meaningless, for in that case prohibition would neces- eafily be already established In the counties referred to by virtue of the local option law. without any aid from the general prohibition law. This is persuasive to show that the object of referring to such elections in Section Is was to cure any defects in the To- cal option statute or in the steps at- tempted to be taken ip pursuance thereto, and to base the going Into effect of said law on January l, isOs, merely upon the fact that the people of said locality had expressed their will by an election"
 What Are Thirty Dayss
 There was a teasing point raised py Richter councei on the question or what are thirty days It resembles the old rebus which confounded the world when the twentieth century started. It is a question of how the law and the construing courts are go- ing to compute lapsed time. Below IS thirty days after the call for the same was issued.
 If such had been the intention of the statute, 1t would have been very easy to have stated it. but that was not done. It is simply not to be less than thirty days, so that if, according to the law. the time at which the election was held could be said to be thirty days from the time of the erder, 1t certainly could not be less than thirty days. From what has been heretofore said on the subject of the time of the notice to call the special term of the court, 1t Is evident that the ninth day of December was thirty days from the ninth of November, and as the law takes no notice of fractions of a day the first hour of that day was thirty days and the last hour was not more than thirty days.
 This matter of the computation of time has been carefully considered re- cently by this court and the law re- stated that unless the term. entire days Is used, the rule laid down in our Code. and which is in accordance with the great weight of authority without any statute, is that the first day Is ex- cluded and the last day included, so that, the ninth day of December would be thirty days from November 9!
 Replying to the contention that the probate. judge ordered the election and not the probate court, as required by the local option law. Justice Simpson concludes that the judge of probate and the probate court are one and the same.
 It was also held that the matter of posting the report Of the election be- fore the court house was not essential but directory. It was not necessary to put prohibition in force.
 The opinion closed with the declara- tion that the holding of license by the defendant. was immaterial "as it.could not confer an authority to sell liquor contrary to law

THOS. HYDE DEAD
Dies in Duluth Wednesday
After Long Illness

Thomas w. Hyde, we'll known
in this city where he lived for many
years during the notorious Section
80 litigation, died at St. Luke's
hospital in Duluth Wednesday after
long illness. Tom died a pauper
although at one time he refused
SIS, 900 for his share in the now
Shagawa property on Section 80.
Mr.. Hyde's claim to the Section
80 property was first affirmed by
the land office, and later denied.
Since that time his life has been one
of misfortune and poverty. Thirty
two years ago he deserted his fam
lily in New Hampshire, shortly
after the death of his wife. Since
that time the children have not
heard from him except through the
newspapers. He has son living
in Winnipeg who has been notified
of the death.

Firms of Ely and Vicinity Hold Meeting
Sunday.
Several Strong Addresses Made Against the
Agitator

land and feelingly taking part in
our national questions, we under
stand true patriot. We can see
how this sentiment fills a true
American who has purchased this
country and splendid national ex-
istence and autonomy with struggles
and offerings similar to Our small
nation in a remote part of the
world. We cannot but view with
sorrow the spectacle of a stranger
in our native land debasing and
disappearing the laws and institut-
ions and we cannot tolerate any
such actions here. People living
here as strangers to the laws,
bidding open defiance to the gov
ernment, should not be tolerated.
These sentiments are no more nor
less than treason.
AS the Socialistic agitation has
chiefly taken place among the
working class under the guise of
union labor, we, as workmen beg
to express Our protest against the
movement and adopt resolutions
condelnning the reasonable acts of
certain few said acts having the
tendency to bring Our countrymen
into bad repute besides being detri-
mental to the good American gov
eminent and nation.
Also we resolve: Cd That we
most earnestly deplore the publica-
ton and expressions, from what
ever source they come, of anything
tending to excite our fellow citizens
against the laws CT our government;
against the officials of the govern
ment and institutions, such pub
LEGATION and expressions appealing
to the lower instincts of man and
causing hatred aid differences be-
tween the various classes of the
country.
(2) That we trust the Finnish
Americans in Minnesota and the
whole United States will now, and
in the future as III the past, support
the wisely enacted and prudently
administered LAYS and oppose the
misuse of the skS.ss of American
citizenship i'll its attacks on private
property, the sacredness of family
ties and upon the christian teach
ings and doctrines.
60 That we feel hurt over some
of the criticisms of Our American
fellow citizens, who are inclined to
condemn the Firms as whole on
account of the fanatical actions and
expressions of the misguided
minority.
CD We recommend the utmost
publicity for Our actions and reso-
lutions because they contain the
firm opinion of the Finnish Amer
lean citizens of Ely and vicinity
and in fact of the whole iron range
country"

Some 400 Finnish residents as
sembled at the Opera House Sun
day afternoon and most vigorously
denounced the anarchistic move
ment being fostered by a few under
the guise of union labor.
Addresses were made by Rev.
Katajamaa, Rev. Sandstrom, AL
dernan Porthan and Erik Anttila.
The speeches were received with
applause and set of resolutions
were adopted and signed by all but
thi1tee of those present. The
meeting was orderly throughout.
Following is the gist of the reso-
lutlons, the Miner being indebted
to Rev. Katajamaa for a transla-
ton of the same:
We, the Finnish people of Ely
and vicinity, in public meeting
assembled, take this method of ex-
pressing our disapproval of the per-
nicious ideas and exciting influences
propogated among us, known under
the title of socialism; Anarchism
however being the teachings pro-
mulgated. Anarchy and Revolut-
ion have been preached under the
name of Liberty.
We approve of political liberty
as well as the liberty of the press
and the liberty of assemblies and
support these tenets and feel that
these liberties can be maintained
and preserved only by the strict
enforcement of law and with due
respect to the fundamental princi-
pies of the constitution, fostered
and maintained in righteous man
ner. We do not believe or feel
that community can be built up
or improved with revolutionary
vaporings and acts but only by
means of lawful acts and reforms.
A great many of these agitators
are newcomers who have very little
or no knowledge of the social con-
ditions or the country or the laws
of the land. We therefore feel it
a duty to warn the peaceable and
law abiding Firms against the fall
lacy of the teachings as given out
by these agitators. Without the
love and respect of their native
country this class fails to feel the
love felt by the patroit for Finnish
liberty which has been sorely tried
and which is based on laws and
constitution. The agitator cannot
understand how love for his native
land and autonomy, which feelings
cause sublime thoughts to swell the
bosom of every right-minded Amer
lean, can be of such moment.
With sympathy for our native

Ho VITO CURE A COLD.

BIT as careful as you can you will
occasionally take cold, and when you
do, get a medicine of known relia-
bility, one that has an established
reputation and that is certain to ef-
feet quick cure. Such a medicine is
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. 1t has
gained world wide reputation by it's
remarkable cures of this most COM
mon ailment, and can always be de-
pended upon. 1t acts on natures plan,
relieves the lungs, aids expectoration
opens the secretions and aids nature
in restoring the system to a healthy
condition. During the many years in
which 1t has been in general use we
have yet to learn of single case of
cold or attack of the grip having re-
suited in pneumonia when this remedy
was used, which shows conclusively
that it is a certain preventive of that
dangerous disease. Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy contains no opium or
other narcotic and may be given as
confidently to baby as to an adult.

ANARCHIST PRINCESS
COMING To AMERICA

for the past twenty years. The prince
is a well known and respected au-
thor and man of science, while the
princess is almost as gifted as her
husband, having taken degrees at the
universities of Paris and Geneva and
being a contributor to several reviews
and periodicals. The friends of the
princess say that she will most GER
tainly swrite herself down an anar-
chist in the blank which foreigners
are required to fill out. The immi-
grafton authorities, however, are ex-
pected to recognize the difference be-
tween her sort of anarchism and that
of John Turner, who was excluded a
few years ago.
