Among the many we'll known
Lake Superior citizens who were
on the Vermilion during the past
week none possess more of the
sterling qualities that make a man
than Mayor Semer, of Escanaba.
Speaking with the JOURNAL re-
preventative Yesterday, he said:
This is great country and in time
will prove the equal of the best
iron ranges in the country" From
him we learn that all his interests
here were prosperous; that
Cleveland was going to be elected
thinks his home paper the best on
the peninsula; thinks Michigan is
going democratic this fall, and
thinks that every Vermilion min
ing man is indepted to the JOURNAL
for its work on the range. He
went to Ely, and in company with
Mr.. Mathews, highly respected
citizen of Escanaba, left this morn
ing for the great shipping port OF
Michigan. Judging by the fish
stories His Honor heard in this
country, he will paralyze Bros.
Van Duzer and iMcKenna when he
arrives home. Tower Journal.

Ely's mail service is a first class
failure, better have no mail at all
and then the people would know
what to expect. Last Friday morn
ing the mail carrier called at the
postoffice for the mail as usual, but
instead of taking it to Tower as he
should, took it to a saloon, and at
10 O'Clock that night Postmaster
Thomas found it, and the mail
carrier in a state of intoxication
Something ought to be done to dc
away with this foolishness, so that
the mails would arrive and depart
regularly.

According to the police, last
Saturday night was the most ex-
citing experienced in Hibbing in
some years. Close on the heels OF
the fatality at the Buffalo -Susque-
hama mines a man fell from the
Great Northern viaduct, a miner
was killed at the Longyear mine
and a young women died on the
way to a local hospital, making a
total of six violent deaths. The
police had their hands full and the
morgue was crowded with bodies.

that Chapman street be graded

PATIENCE.

Cultivate the ability to be patient
at all times. Whoever loses his pa
tience loses more than his patience.
He loses his hold on the very crisis
that made him lose his patience.
He loses the ability to think and
the balance Of judgment whic : he
ought to have at their best in o.,oer
to face rightly the thing that has
thrown him into confusion.

give the music for the social hop
given by Jos. Fortin on that even
ing. Between 7 and O'Clock the
band visited all the prominent
business houses of the city and
played one or two selections which
were executed we'll considering
that there were only four musicians.
The band furnished some very good
string music for the dancers, and
at about 4 a. m. the merry terpsi-

A baby with two we'll developed
heads was born to Mr.. and Mrs
Peter Hajadukovich at Kittzville
near Chisholm a week ago. The
baby died and since then various
interests have been trying to pur-
chase the body for exhibition
purposes, as high as $4,000 having
been offered. Physicians claim
this is the fourth of its kind re-
ported by the medical profession
in the history of obstetrics.
A cave in at the open pit of the
Buffalo & Susquehana mine at
Hibbing Saturday night caused
the death of three miners and
injury to sixteen others. 1t was
at first feared that nineteen men
had lost their lives but daylight
changed the estimate. Five of the
men were in the steam shovel and
were to large extent protected by
its heavy steel roof. Eleven more
owe their lives to the fact that they
were caught in the edge of the
cave-in and were not buried deeply
many being able to extricate them
selves, while the rest were in such
positions that they could breathe
until reached by the large gang of
rescuers who commenced work i'm
mediately following the slide.

Forest fires of late have been
quite common things, and on
Thursday last at about 8 p. m. the
mill whistled an alarm which called
out the entire populace of Ely.
The woods were all ablaze about
the mill with heavy southwest
wind, and at one time it was
thought the fire would reach the
logs, but owing to the diligent work
of the volunteer fremen the fire
was kept away from the logs and
no particular damage was done.
Again about 4:3O p. m. the people
were startled by hearing the same
whistle, and were on hand in quick
time. This time it was the dwell
ings at the Pioneer mine that were
in danger. but the fire was also
checked there before any damage
was done.
