Daniel Aber1e, St. Paul mem
Der of the State Democratic Com
mittee, says he will bolt to Cover
nor Eberhart if John Lind is nomi-
mated. Aberle is not alone in this,
many other prominent men being
of the same mind. Why not make
it unanimous in view of the fact
that Lind is the only available
candidate of the Democrats and the
majority of the party is not badly
in love with him, and everybody
cast their ballot for the present
Governor. He is as good as they
make.

Tower are enumerated and one
would be led to believe .atlat the
roadhad its;end there instead of al
Ely, the metropolis q, The sXerrnil-
ion range.
Ely is mentioned in three places
in the folder, once in the time table
once in the general advertisement
of the district traversed by the
road and once in the descriptive
matter where it states that "a side
trip to Ely, Gone hours ride from
Tower) affords the visitor an OPP
portunity of visiting the mines, the
beautiful lake region thereabouts
and the Superior Forest Reserve. "
This is encouraging in view of
the fact that the roads business
from Ely is about ten times that
recorded from Tower both in
freight and passenger traffic and il
is a matter of conjecture as to how
mush business actually would be
necessary to secure mention in
the folder on the part of the rail
road people of more than casual re-
cognition of Our town.
Not content with giving Ely a
time card for the evening train that
could be shortened at least an hour
and a half and thus bring the train
in before bed time, the road takes
this latest slam at us. If we want
ed to be real mean, we might infer
from the subject matter on the fold
er that the officials responsible fol
its publication had other fish to
fry" than the mere advertising Of
the route.

AN employee of the Postoffce De-
partment in Washington has
figured that if all the public docu-
ments and franked literature that
have been sent out since January /
were placed in one freight train it
would require five engines to draw
it. And still Postmaster General
Hitchcock is complaining that the
postal service has deficit every
year because of the low rates of
postage on newspapers and maya
zines, says the Pioneer Press.

With this issue the MINER
celebrates its sixteenth birthday
and rounds out the EDITORS twenty
first year of actual newspaper work
on the Vermilion range. We are
now old enough to speak up IN
meeting.
The MINER has put in fifteen
years of good digging for Ely and
its citizens. Some of this digging
was done in easy ground while the
larger part was in hard formation
and while at times little Roadway
was made, the mere fact that we are
still here is proof that we have
been successful, in a measure at
least.
We will make no promises for
the future but will wrestle oppor-
tunities as they arise. In politics
we are Republican with big R"
In religion, the MINER is nousec-
tartan believing that Gods sun
shines for all alike. We dearly
love booster" believing that a
large share of good things should
be his reward. A "knocker" is
only overshadowed in his despicable
meanness by the gossip or scandle
monger.
Ely is one of the best towns in
the northwest and according to re-
liable figures on present knwon de-
posts of ore, has fifty years of
activity in actual mining before it,
not measuring improved deposits
and Our agricultural possibilities.
The MINER has its faults, SO
have you. With clear under
standing and hand in hand. these
faults can be overcome and all pull
togather for Ely, its people and
institutions.

FOR REGISTER OF DEEDS

M. c. Palmer of Virginia is a
candidate for reelection as Register
of Deeds of St. Louis county on the
Republican ticket. AS Mr.. Palm
er is the only candidate that will
appeal to the range vote and as his
administrator of the office has been
such that it has not entered the
mind of any of his political faith
to oppose him, it is not at all prob
able that opposition will develop at
the coming election unless it may
come from the Democratic side.
There is one feature of Mr.. Pal
mer's incumbency of the office
that will appeal to both parties and
that is, he has paid strict attention
to the affairs of the duties to which
he was elected and this fact appeals
to the voters of the county regard

LONDON. Sept 12-Because an
undertaken and a morgue keeper we're
compelled TO use enormous quantities
OF carbolic acid to counteract the odor
of decaying flesh while removing the
body from the cellar of the Crippen
home. the acquittal of DR.. H. II. Grip
pen for the murder of his wife, may
be forced.
When tho inquest over the body
taken from the Crippen cellar was
resumed to-day Attorney Arthur
Newton, counsel for Crippen and the
Leneve girl, grilled the undertaken
and morgue keeper, who took charge
Of the body. with series of sharp
questions. He tried to show that they
shOveled the remains into "A box, tax
ing little care to keep dirt and stones
separate. Both men denied this, say
ing there was neither stones nor dirt
IN the coffin when it was taken 10 the
morgue. They admitted, however.
that there was a great deal Of car

use It in order 10 approach where the
body was buried.
Poison Caused Death.
II was plain from the questions
Newton put to these two witnesses
that he hopes 10 demonstrate that
the testimony of the chemists that
hyoscin poisoning caused the death
of the person whose body was taken
from the Crippen cellar, was con-
clnsion that could not have been
reached by analysis. He apparent
ly was laying the foundation TO i'm
peach the possibility that a satisfac-
tory analysis could have taken place
and to show that the carbolic acid
used ruined the body for the purposes
of analysis.
When the inquest was resumed to-
day Coroner Schroeder was in charge.
The interests of the crown were look
cd after by Inspector Dew, Detective
Sergeant Mitchell and Lawyer Tray
ers Humphreys, while Newton looked
after the defendants.
