Hints to Butter Dealers

In Minneapolis, on Saturday, a
butter dealer was fined $50 or hirty
days in Jail for selling short Weight
butter. The court said: The
facts proven on the trial of this
case are amazing. The testi nony
is to the effect that for years a arge
number of people have been seling
so-called fve-pound jars of bitter
as containing five pounds, and
charging for five pounds, whel in
fact the jars contain only four and
one half pounds or less. At the
present price for which butte is
selling, each consumer who buts a
so-called five pound jar of buttr is
cheated out of 10 cents. rhe
same law applies to St. Cloud. ST..
Cloud Times.

Lyceum Theatre

The Jay Quigley players, with
the we'll known character actor
himself at the head of the organiza-
ton, have settled down for an all
summer run at the Lyceum theatre,
Duluth.
The opening bill, Julia Marlowe's
most notable success, When
Knighthood was in Flower" has
made most favorable impression
on both press and public and there
are indications that the Quigley
company is to be accorded recep-
ton during its stay at the Head of
the Lakes, which has been given no
other stock organization there.
The bill for the second week,
The Ironmaster, is said to afford
the players even greater scope to
display their abilities than has the
dramatization of Charles Majors
we'll known novel. Other success
ses will be produced by the players
from week to week, including a
number which have carried well
known stars on the road to fame.
They will be given handsome pro-
auctions, the management sparing
no efforts to make them as complete
in every detail as is possible.
Mr.. Quigley is satisfied that Miss
Marie Nelson, Mr.. Rodney Ranous
and all the others, he has assembled
one of the strongest stock organic
atoms in America.

TOWER WINS
Tower Defeats Ely Finn
Team on a Score of
Z to :

The Ely Finn team crossed bats
with the Tower independents Sun
day afternoon ON the High School
grounds. The Tower boys arrived
on the noon train and returned at
$50 in the afternoon only six in
nings being played.
The game was a well contested
one and full of snappy plays from
start to finish. JOS. Seraphine UNI
pired the game. Matt Martin, the
crack second baseman of the Finn
team, was the only man to cross the
rubber, bringing in both scores.
Carlson pitched for the Tower boys
and Harri for the Firms. Murray
was back of the plate for Tower
while Erickson filled the Ely mask.
The score follows:
L IT'LL " " " L
Tower. / / o 3 2 OF
Owing to the rain the Fire De-
partment nine did not go to Win
ton Sunday for the scheduled game.
No sooner had the game been call
ed off on account of wet grounds
than the rain ceased and a good af-
ternoon resulted.
The Tower regular nine and the
Fire Department boys will cross
bats on the Ely grounds next Sun
day and a good game is expected.
The Tower nine has some good
players and we know the Ely team
has some. The game is called for
$50.

ORE PRICES
Companies are Maintaining
Prices on Ore

Buying of iron ore continues,
and there now seems to be no doubt
as to the ability of the mining CON-
panies to maintain prices. The
strike on the lakes is irritating,
but there are more vessels in COM
mission than are demanded by the
trade.
On base ores with the guarantee
of SIS per cent on old range and
Mesaba Bessemer, and sly per
cent on old range and Mesaba non
Bessemer, we quote as follows:
Old range Bessemer, SO; Mesaba
Bessemer, $4.25; old range non
Bessemer, 1910; Mesaba non Bes-
semer, $3.50.

CLOSING EXERCISES
The Schools Have the Center of the Stage
This Week.
Ten Graduates From the Ely High School
This Year.

The schools have been the center
of attraction all this week and it
has been a week of enjoyment for
the pupils, the teachers and the pa
irons of the district
Friday afternoon and evening the
exhibit of the handiwork of the
pupils took place, in the afternoon
at the several school buildings and
in the evening at the High School.
The exhibits were interesting, the
various rooms showing the products
of most successful year of work.
The High School display was one
of the best ever put out and was ex-
ce1led by none in the state. The
manual training and domestic
science departments had a display
in point of excellence far in excess
of anything ever attempted here be-
fore and this is saying considerable
as these departments have been
noted for their excellent work in
past years.
The exhibit consisted of art work,
drawings, paintings, needle work
and other hand work, furniture,
preserved fruits, breads, pastry and
other articles of food, all arranged
in tasty, well-displayed manner.
Glasses in wood and iron work
gave practical demonstrations dur
ing the evening, the wood and iron
lathes and drill press being worked
under the supervision of Prof.
Scharr. A class also worked at
cabinet working.
In the cooking department class
was busy demonstrating their art
and refreshments were served by
these during the evening. Miss
Rowe directed the class.
The attendance during the hours
of the exhibition was exceedingly
