SUCCESS OF ELKS'
BOOLA ASSURED

The continued hustling of those
in charge Of the Elks' Boola, aid
ed by the subcommittee gives as
surance of success, and the big
time of the season is in prospect
for attendants.
At a meeting of committees
held at the city hall on Wednes-
day evening about seventy five of
the antlered monarchs, attended
by their better halves, were in at
tendance, and arrangements for
the coming event were more near
ly perfected.
In addition to the donations
mentioned in our last issue Mr.. A..
N. Thompson, local agent for the
Singer Company, has donated a
Singer Sewing Machine, while

been credited with cash donations
Of $40 or in lesser amounts, all

will be both wise and acceptable
to have your pocketbook with you

A ROUTINE MEET.

The council meeting on Tuesday
evening had little of extraordi-
nary interest to offer, the bust
ness being almost entirely of a
routine nature.
A communication from Presi-
McGonagle, of the Duluth, Missa-
be & Northern, asked for a con.
ference relative to Gilbert road
crossing and other matters, which
was granted, Mr.. McGonagle
meeting with the council the fol-
lowing evening and giving per-
mission for the building of &C.
ment walk on Railroad avenue
and conforming to the wishes o.
the council in other matters.
A check for $50 from WASH
burn, Bailey & Mitchell, attorneys
for the Mesaba Railway company,
for the street railway franchise,
was accepted and the $500 check
deposited with the proposal was
ordered returned.

ceived city dirt during the sea-
son, at the rate of Is cents per

KILLED ON M|SSAbE TRACKS
Body Of John Anderson Found
Near the Eveleth Crossing by
Canadian Northern Grew
Monday Evening.

The crew on the engine being
brought into the Missabe depot
from the Canadian Northern
round-house Monday evening dis
covered the mangled remains of
John Anderson, 228 Pine street,
on the tracks Of the Missabe at a
point about 700 feet north of the
Eveleth road crossing, the body
being picked up by the crew Of
the Winnipeg Flyer and brought
into the station, being taken by
Undertaken Hubbard.
The deceased was widower,
his wife being buried last spring,
and leaves family Of four child
rem, the eldest about fourteen
while the youngest is but a year
and half Of age.
AS to what the man may have
been doing at that point or how
the accident occurred will always
remain a mystery.

MUNICIPAL. CAMPAIGN
Louis M. Osborn First to Issue
Cards in Coming Municipal
Contest, Seeking the Num-
cipal Judgeship.

The first authentic "strike' in
the 1912 campaign has been made
during the week by the issuance
of cards making formal announce
ment Of candidacy for the NUM-
cipal judgeship by Louis M.
Osborn.
Mr.. Osborn was a candidate at
the last election, and made a pref
ty race. In the coming contest,
to be held on Tuesday, February
9Th, 1912, it is probable there will
be a number of entries for this
position, the names of Judge
Carey, w. j. Archer, j. H. Flem-
ing and Judge Montague being
freely spoken of as possibilities.
1t is as yet trifle early for
the aspirants to come from under
cover, and while Dame Rumor
plays with the names Of a num-
Der Of citizens as possible candi-
dates for mayoralty and alder
manic honors none have as yet
seen fit to fake formal announce
ment of their intentions in the
premises. It is improbable, how
ever, that any Of the positions
will be left vacant through neg
lect of aspirants for the honors.

TAKEN TO FERGUS FALLS

Gus Ranklla, a hOmeSteader IN
the Little Sand lake district, was
brought to the city Sunday by
Deputy Sheriff NOLAN, whose SER
vices had been invoked by the
family through fear of bodily
harm from the man, who was de-
mented.
His hallucination was that the
world was about to come to an
end, and his actions gave rise to
the belief that he intended to end
the lives of his family ahead Of
time. Terrified at his actions and
threats his wife had taken their
children into a room and sent one
boy to the city for assistance, and
the arrival of the officer was most
timely, Rankila being found en-
deavoring to effect an entrance to
the room, having an ak with which
to smash down the door.
He was taken to Duluth the fol
lowing day by Deputy NOLAN and
j. P. Chalmers and has since been
taken to Fergus Falls.

CONSIDERED PLANS
FOR LIBRARY

At meeting Of the Virginia Lii
brary Board held at the office of
R. G. Pickering, secretary, on
Monday evening, Miss Clara +.
Baldwin, secretary of the State
Library Commission, was in at
tendance, having a set of plans Of
the new Walker Branch Library
at the corner of Hennepin and
10th, Minneapolis, for the gaid-
ance Of the board in the consider
alton Of plans for the proposed
new Virginian library to be err
ected on Central avenue.
Pencil sketch plans Of the pro-
postd building only have been
made to date by the supervising
architect, Vernon j. Price, Du-
luth, but it is expected a more
complete set of plans will be in
readiness for the consideration Of
the board at the date Of their next
regular meeting, and that every
thing will be readiness for active
work on the proposed structure,
which will cost in the neighbor-
hodd Of $4,000, at the opening of
another building season.
The board at this meeting also
entered into a tentative agree
ment with other Libraries in the
district, including Hibbing, Clo-
quet and Duluth, for an exchange
Of books in foreign languages,
making of same a circulating H.
brary whereby a larger number
of such books may be accessible to
readers in the various cities.

SCHOOL BOOKS TO
BE AUDITED

The school board Of the lnde-
pendent District of Virginia, at
the regular meeting on Friday
evening last, passed a resolution
calling for the auditing Ct the
books Of the district by Melis,
Price & Co., chartered account
ants, of Minneapolis. The books
were thoroughly audited, il will
be remembered, by the state pub
lie examiner year ago, and the
work at this fife will be from and
after that date TO the present time.
The board also at this meeting
considered plans of the proposed
new north side school as submit
ted by Architect F. G.. German, of
Duluth, the same being referred
to the building committee.
A petition from A. N. Thomp-
son and others, asking for the use
Of the Auditorium for meetings
to discuss the municipal ownership
problem, was refused in accord
ance with a resolution passed by
the board some time since provid-
ing against the use of the school
buildings for aught aside from
school work.
Trustee Stewart made report to
the co-insurance plan for school
buildings, it being decided to
adopt such plan. A recent in
spection Of all buildings was re-
Gently made by the insurance in
spector, and a lower rate attaches
to each building in the future.
The American Exchange and
First National Banks were mated
as school repositories for the term
OF one year, each to- pay per
cent interest o nall mean balances
above $4,000.

REGIS 1RlTlON FOR SPECIAL
ELECTION VERY LIGHT
But Five Hundred Voters are
Registered First day for Spe-
cial Election to be Held
November 21st.

The boards Of registration in
the various wards of the city
were in session on Tuesday from
6 to 9, but that little was do
ing is evidenced by the returns
made from the various precincts,
aggregating slightly in excess of
500 out Of a total probable vote of
1900.
Of the number registering So are
shown in the First Ward, A in the
Second, 81 in the Third, 227 in the
Fourth and sc in the Fifth, the re-
turns from the Sixth not having
been made to the city clerk up to
the noon hour yesterday.
The exceptional number return
ed from the Fourth in comparison
to that from other wards is &C.
counted for from the fact that
the board, acting under instruc-
tions from the city attorney,
copied the names Of known voters
from the old poll list. This will
likely be done in the other wards
Of the city the coming Tuesday
when the boards again meet, that
all voters entitled may be given
the opportunity Of expressing
themselves on the municipal own
ership proposition at the special
election to be held on the 21st.
From what one might CLEAN on
the street, however, but slight in
terest is manifest for or against
the proposition as yet, but this
apathy will likely give way be-
fore the campaign of education be-
ing inaugurated and it is antici-
pated a full vote will be in evil
dence when the time comes.

CAUSE OF TEN CENT SUGAR

"The high tariff benefits no.
body but the sugar trust. Were
it not for the sugar tariff this
package would cost 2 cents a
pound less. Urge your congress-
men to repeal the tariff on sugar. :"
This is not an extract from
political speech. 1t is a state.
ment of fact by Pittsburg grocers
to their customers to show the
latter who is not to blame for the
robbery charges on sugar. The
quoted paragraph is printed on
the paper bags in which the
grocers put up the sugar. The eff
feet of the inscription on a 25-
pound bag is significant. 1t means
that the tariff has cost so cents
on that one purchase.
