Week of Virqioia's Anniversaries.

Tuesday of the present week
marked the tenth anniversary of
the last Virginia contlagration, and
one week from tomorrow will be
the seventeenth anniversary of the
big blaze which wiped Virginia off
the map in '93.
But while these recurring disas.
ters doubtless worked individual
hardship in many instances, they
have evidently worked to the ulti-
mate benefit of the city as whole
and to those sufferers who pinned
their faith to Virginia because they
could find no other place to pin iD,
for they have lived to Gee the Queen
City of the Range surpass all antic-
ipations of greatness, and to reap
the reward which has come with
the substantial upbuilding of the
town.
And to those who keep their faith
pinned to Virginia will come even
greater future reward, tor the fu-
ture growth and greatness of the
city receives renewed assurance
with the dawn of each succeeding
day.

looked Over the Hotel Fav.

Manager Lee, of the Spalding at
Duluth, accompanied by S. T. Ham
ilton, was in the city over Sunday
for the purpose of looking over the
Hotel Fay, with a view to the posi-.
bic purchase of that popular hos
telry.
As yet negotiations have not pro-
crossed to point where a sale is
proba bic, although it is understood
a cash price on the property has
been named.
The Fay enjoys justly deserved
patronage from the travelling pub
lie, and while in case of a change
the hotel would doubtless be run
on similar lines as at present the
genial welcome of Landlord Smith
and his efficient clerical force will
be missed by the host of statesmen
who have come to regard The Fay
az "home" during their regular VS.
itatious to the range.

Card of Thanks.

To the many friends who came to
US in our hour trouble, and con-
tributed all that human kindness
could suggest, to help and comfort,
we return most heartfelt thanks,
aud although such devoted friend
ship cannot remove the sad men,
cries that linger around our vacant
chair, it brings into view the bright
est side of humanity and throws
the pure light of an unselfish friend
ship into darkened home. May
the day be far distinct when those
friends who gathered around us
will need similar attention, but
when the time does come may they
receive the same full measure of
generous aid and tender sympathy
they brought to our home when
death was an inmate there.

Looked Over Duluth Pavements.

A majority of the members of the
Virginia city council, enjoyed a
"paid it myself" trip to Duluth
Monday IN the interest of Virgin
ians, their object being the view
ing of various pavements in the
head of the lakes cities with a
view to better qualifying them
selves to judge of the business of
the claims for recognition of vari-
Gus paving materials before award
ing local contracts.
The boys enjoyed an auto ride
over every loot of pavement in the
Twin Ports, and acquired fund of
information which precluded any
possibility of their getting gold
bricked or biting at "something
just as good" when making their
selections for Virginia improve
ments.

JOHN ST0RDAHL SHOT FOR A BEAR
Former virQinian Killed at the Spring
Mine Saturday Niqht.

FORMER VrQlnia0 Killed at the Spring
Mine Saturday Night.
John Stordahl, foreman at the
Spring mine, Mesaba, was shot and
instantly killed near the mine at the
midnight hour Saturday night by
Joe Gebeau, who mistook him for a
bear.
The shooting was done with a
Colts automatic revolver, five steel
capped bullets being sent into the
body of the unfortunate man.
Immediately upon discovering
his error Gebeau ran for assistance,
but it was evident the first shot had
entered the heart, as Stordahl's po-
sition showed he had made no move
after first being hit.
Undertaken Hubbard was at once
notified and brought the remains to
this city for interment, funeral ser
vices being conducted from the
Norwegian Lutheran church yes.
terday afternoon.
The deceased was AZ years of age,
and leaves two sons to mourn his
loss. The family lived in this city
tor several years, and the remains
were laid to rest beside those of two
wives who. had preceded him.
Gebeau gave himself up and now
lies in Jail in Duluth, awaiting the
action OF the grand jury. And while
his plight may excite sympathy
there can be no reason why he
should not be compelled to do pen
ance for his error. Any man who
will shoot at moving object with
out knowing at what he is firing is
fit subject for state care, and is
entitled to the limit.
