Reception for the Teachers.

A pleasant event was the recep-
tion rendered the teachers of the
Virginia schools at the NJ. q. Church
on Friday evening last, the church
parlors being prettily decorated
with red and orange crepe. paper
and autumn leaves in honor of the
occasion. As each guest entered u
card was pinned upon his or her
breast, thus assisting materially in
the introductions.
A neat address by Rev. Carswell,
of St. Paul's Church, was we'll re-
ceived and was followed by appro-
pirate remarks by Superintendent
Lafayette Bliss, touching upon the
growth of our beautiful little city
and the part of the teachers and
schools in it's upbuildiug. A num-
Der of musical selections assisted
in meritorious program, includ.
ing selections by string orchestra,
solos by Miss Gertrude DeNoble,
Mr.. Morgan, and chorus singing.
The ladies of the churches served
a very nice luncheon and all depart.
ed feeling that a most profitab BILE
and ENJOYABLE evening had been
spent.

Declares for County 0ption.

Jim Gray, democratic candidate
for governor, delivered his opening
address at Fergus Falls Monday
evening, and in the course of his
address came out flat footed in fav-
or of county option.
This may serve admirably as a
campaign cry in certain sections of
Minnesota, but not in all sections
of the state. On the other hand, to
the thinking man and to the man
who realizes that the position of the
two candidates for governor are
practicually identical on the ques'
ton the cry will have little weight.
The question of county option is
one for the Legislative body in the
initiative, and Governor Eberhart
has plainly stated that should a
county option bill come before him
for signature it would be signed
The work of the liquor interests
therefore, will be confined to the
Legislative body, and We have heard
no county optionists on the legisla'
tive ticket in this neck

The new store will be in charge of
Mr.. A. E. Larson, who is swell-known

are the finest to be found in any
store in northern Minnesota, and
the gentlemen have put in a hand
some and complete opening stock,

fair share of patronage from Vir

Shanedling brothers, who are num-
bered among Virginia's pioneer

Will Show Up as Range Metropolis.

According to Hibbing dispatch
to the News Tribune of Tuesday the
1910 census will show Hibbing with
a population of a scant 200 below
the 10000 mark, while the returns
are said to show Virginia with q
population of about 10000.
Under the state law the liquor
license fees become $1,000 per year
in cities of 10000 or over, and the
dispatch accredits the loss of Hib-
bing's showing to the activity of
those interests desirous of keeping
the license fee within the present
confines, $500 per annum.
1t has always been the boast of
Hibbingites that population of
1900 to 5000 would be shown, while
conservative Virginians have cred
tied this city with a probable show
ing of 1900 to 1880, independent of
adjacent mining locations contain.

ClVn SERVICE PROTECTION
Assistant Postnasters viii b Brought
within Workings Of tho Civil Ssr-

As one of the first results of the
cabinet sessions now in progress in
Washington it was on Tuesday an
nounced that President Taft would
shortly issue an order placing ap-
proximately 5000 assistant post
masters in the United States under
the protection of the civil service
law, thus taking such positions and
appointments entirely out of pol
tics.
It is also said that the president
will recommend to congress at the
coming session that all second aud
third class postmasters, 1888 in
number, be placed under civil SER
vice rules.
These acts are in accordance with
recommendations by Postmaster
General Hitchcock, being part of
the postmaster generals scheme to
place the department on a business
basis in an effort to make the de
partment self-sustaining.
The order will affect Virginia both
as regards the assistant postmaster
and the postmaster, and if the orders
become operative before a change
be made in the local Office at the be-
hest of Congressman Miller it can
not but be pleasing to great major
ity of Virginians.

Hitbing Looking for Canadian Northern.

The visit of T. E. Emerson, of the
Canadian Northern, to Hibbing and
the west end during the week has
given rise to the hope in the heart
of Hibbingites that the new railway
will extend branch from Virginia
to the west end, touching Hibbing.
With the extension of the road to
Duluth, now we'll under way, there
would be little surprise in such an
extension, as the new road will be
in the field for business and will
find plenty of ore and freight busi-
ness in the west end field to guar
antee construction.

day evening. asking for an exten.

tion asking for the running, of the
main from its present terminus on
Fifth Avenue between Fourth and
Fifth streets north along Fifth ave-
nue. to Seventh street in Piilsbury
Addition, thence west along Seventh
street to Sixth street.
The installation of the main as
called for would mean fire protec-
ton and afford needed water supply

city, and it is more than likely the
committee on light and water, to
whom the matter was referred, wilt
make favorable report On came.
City Attorney Poirier submitted
in writing a memorandum of var
ious changes deemed necessary in
the draft of the ordinance granting
a franchise to the Mesaba. Telephone
Company, aud the franchise was
held up from it's second reading for
further consideration.
The question of lowering the
water maine on Hickory street, made
unsafe from freezing through the
change in grade of the roadway,
was adjusted by consent of the
company to lower the. mains pro-
vided the city wou d stand the ex-
pence of lowering the service pipes.
The question of the purity of the
city water supply was under dis
cushion, and the clerk was given in
structions to notify the company to
at once f1ush all mains, to open all
hydrants in any manner they might
see fit, and otherwise clean out the
system, and if necessary to secure
the services of the fire engine in do
ing such work. -
A resolution providing for the
building of cement walks only on

PoST-oFFICE F0ReERY
william Hill Caught il Act Of sillilE
Money Orders belolgIlg 10 Another.

William Hill, a young man who
has been employed on the Rainy
Lake road and later az brakeman at
the Commodore, was taken into
custody by the local police on Sst-
urday, on the charge of attempted
forgery, the crime for which he was
wanted being a governmental Of
Tense, the signing of his name to a
money order which he knew did not
belong to him.
The offense was not a momentary
falling from grace by the young
man, it appearing that he had on
previous occasions taken mail be-
longing to another William Hill, of
Kelsey, coming through the local
office and handed him by mistake;
that after perusing came he had not
returned such mail to the local Of
fee but had attempted and planned
to profit by the information receiv-
ed, which was to the effect that in
the settlement of an estate in Eng
land sum of money was soon to
come to Mr.. Hill of Kelsey.
But his game wac "got onto" by
the local postal officials, who set a
trap for him and had the police in
close touch when he appeared to
sign up for the registered package,
his arrest being accomplished while
IN the act of signing one of three
orders calling for the payment of
fifty pounds.
Hill was given a hearing befone

day and bound over to U. s. district
court, being taken to the county
Jail at Duluth by Deputy u. S. Mar
shall Mallory. in default of $1,000
bail.
The offense is one which will give
the young man plenty of time for
future reflection, the penalty being
a term of imprisonment of from tive
to fifteen years.

Coleman, Tex, March "a,
Sixteen or seventeen miles south
east Of Coleman, in Coleman
county, oil was struck today at
a depth of 1900 feet, and is
flowing out of the well at the
rate of $50 gallons per hour.
The oil is of an extra fine
quality and pronounced by ex-
perts on the ground to be excep-
tionally good and far above the
usual grade. Indications for
sometime have pointed to the
fact that this county had oil de-
posits, and this first well down
proves it. This means much to
Coleman and Coleman county.
While the people of Coleman
county are elated at her oil pros
poets they are not going wild
over the situation as it has been
believed for some time that it
was here.
, This first well is owned by
lease by Fred Turner and others
who have recently started opera
tons.
Ii is understood that several
more wells will be drilled at once
in different parts Of the coun-
~, where gas indications are

"House Fly" Should be Called
Typhoid Fly"

Gus insect DR.. l.. O. Howard,
in his recent investigation Of the
economic loss through insects
that carry disease, to which ref
erence was made last week,
devotes a chapter to the house
fly as a carrier of typhoid bac-
terra. The facts brought out
are so startling, and so vitally
affect the health of the commun-
ity, that we are publishing this
chapter in the current issue Of
the SUPPLEMENT. Limitations
of space prevent anything more
in the present notice than a brief
summary of the salient features
of the report.
AT the outset emphasis is laid
upon the fact that the term ''ty-
phold fly is open TO some OBJ
lection as conveying the errone-
Gus idea that this fly is RESPONSE
bic for the spread of typoid only.
As a matter of fact, the insect is
dangerous from every point of
view, and is liable to spread the
bacteria of all the known intesti-
nal diseases. The true connec-
ton of the so-called house hy
with typhoid fever and the true
scientific evidence regarding It's
role as a carrier Of that disease.

out. Cell in 1883 fed flies with

vas that the fly carries the ty-
