PRIZE WINNING CHICKENS
Special Cor. Ocala Banner:


| Mcintosh had quite a surprise sew
eral days ago when six coops of chick
ens-handsome Rhode Island Reds
and letter from Mr.. S. H. GaitskilI
were received.
Mr.. Gaitskill was called to Lexing
ton, KY, three weeks ago by the i'll
ness Of Mrs. Gaitskill, who, we are
glad to learn, is improving, and while
there Mr.. Walter Honaker, a noted R
|. Red fancier had a closing out sale
selling over 400 chickens, which, Mr.
Gaitskill writes, were all of the Tut.
tie strains.
OF the six coops received one coop
was rooster and four hens, the
rooster being the one Mr.. Honaker
bought of Mr.. Sibley of South Bend,
Ind, paying $40 for him as a cockerel.
Another coOp-rooster and two hens
the rooster being sired by cock
that cost Mr.. Honaker $35; and an
other coop-rooster and two hens
all yearling birds of Mr.. Honaker's
raising.
The coop that attracted the most
attention was one containing a hen
and twenty-seven chicks. This hen
has been shown several times, always
taking first prize. except, once, when
she took second. These twenty-seven
chicks are mostly of eggs from this
hen, mated to 10-lb. cock
Another coop contained hen and
twenty-three chicks This was an
other prize winning hen, and the
chicks were sired by a show cock
the finest colored bird in the lot. Both
of these last named cocks were pur-
chased at the sale by the Kentucky
Agricultural College.
Another coop contained fourteen
small chicks, Matched from eggs
which Mr.. Honaker bought of Mr..
Sibley of South Bend, Ind, from his
best mated pens, which eggs Mr.. Sib-
ley sold at $50 a setting.
We are glad to know that Mr.
Gaitskill keeps alive his interest in
live stock, and we know this lot of
chickens-seyenty-seven in all-will
all materially in improving the chick
ems of Marion county to standard as
good as any section of the state, and
are sure that these chickens will
make a fine display and carry off
some prizes at our county fair this
fall

COMMITTED WITHOUT BAIL
r. |. R. FANCIER.

The preliminary trial of Gilbert
Proctor was concluded yesterday
morning before Judge Bell, and the
young man was committed to Jail
without bail, to await the action OF
the grand jury.
The state presented enough of the
evidence it had at its disposal to es-
tablish strong presumption of guilt.
The defense offered no evidence in
rebuttal, and it is believed that it
will endeavor to establish an alabi.
The case will not be tried before
the fall term of the court
The affair is a very lamentable one
Mr.. F. NJ. Harp, one of the witness
es in the case, says that Mr.. Proctor
was one of the very best citizens the
county ever had, and that he tried to
raise his son with scrupulous care,
and set great store by him. He says
that while the son has not a reputa-
ton for venality, he had gotten in
with bad company, and if the charge
against him be true, he committed
the awful crime for the purpose of
getting what money his father pos
sessed, or the bulk of it.
The whole affair will be threshed
out when the circuit court convenes
in the fall.

Please give me space in vour val.
liable paper to say:
COL R. F. Rogers, you remember
several years ago that two gentlemen
made a wager that one of them could
not take the bill of fare up backwards
and go through with it Delmonico's !?
Well, am going to try your article of
the 9Th inst, the same way.
Give me your hand, colonel. let's
shake, and, colonel, l have attended
two picnics recently, and met a great
many ladies, and they all assure me
that they do not fear a mouse. so
now, colonel, put the mouse in as
often as it seemeth good to you.
Colonel, you looked in the front of
the old speller, and | went over in
the back, at the second picture, |
think, where the farmer went to the
lawyer for advice, and got it freely,
until he found that it was his own
COW that was gored. Well, colonel,
my COW was being hooked.
| accept your apologies, for | did
not speak to but one, only to answer
questions before the whole body, and
that one l just passed the time of
day.
| agree with you. colonel, in regard
to higher valuation being placed on
the properly of Maion county. Some
are not paying their quota of taxes.
notice that the commissioners have
started the ball rolling in the right di-
rection, and / hope they will continue,
and appoint an equalizing board in
each commissioners district, and as
sess UP where the property has been
too low.
Colonel, / agree with you again
when you say the public will not be
interested in our abuse of each other,
and | have never willingly engaged
in abuse.
You know, when you and | were lit
tie tots in school, with the old speller,
when recess came and We were out
of sight of the teacher, and one Of our
playmates placed a chip on our Shout
der, we did our best to punch it off.
That is the way | felt towards you,
and now it is over. If l succeeded

too, would have said: Il have never
seen such bad roads, or hope | may
never sin again, if this is not the
worst road | ever saw"
Colonel, come and rejoice with me;
the roads are being neglected right
along. and only one causeway or cul-
vert fixed.
Colonel. my memory failed me, or
the old speller was misplaced | VIII

Colonel, your views on better

for the legislature to meet and make

Grand Opera Next Wednesday

When it is known that the Le-
Brun Grand Opera company ap-
pears in the best theatres in the
country for the regular prices of
admission, Ely can consider itself
fortunate in having this company
at the low prices at which tickets
are being disposed of. The COM
pany appears two nights at the
Lyceum, Duluth, and also in the
principal opera houses of the state.
By error the dates sent with the
advertising matter are labeled
Opera House instead of High
School Auditorium. This should
not deter you however from attend
ing or at least buying a seat when
the members of the Athletic As
ISOLATION, under whose auspices
the entertainment will be staged,
call on you. a special matinee for
school children and others who
wish to attend will be given on
Wednesday afternoon at $50. A
rate of 15c for school children and
Soc for adults has been made for
the matinee. The evening prices
are Soc and 75c seats can be re-
served on 75ctickets at James Drug
Store.

Mr.. JensWO|d Speaks

John Jenswold, candidate for
congressman in this district on the
Democratic ticket addressed small
audience of voters at the Turf Hall
Saturday evening. Owing to its
being Saturday night, the audienc
was not as large as could be desired.
Mr.. Jenswold is a good speaker
and under ordinary circumstances
could please his audience far more
than in making a politival address
from Democratic viewpoint. His
talk was largely in the nature of
faw-gathering" in the record of
Congressman Miller. His listeners
would have appreciated few more
statements as to his attitude to-
wards the industries of the district
and statement of what his in
tentions were in case he was elect
ed, especially in the matter of free
iron ore. Mr.. Jenswold is pledged
to vote in congress in case of his
election with the Democratic plat
form which calls for tariff for re-
venue only and which is free trade,
pure and simple. Can you afford
another Democratic administration?
If so, vote for it.
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1912-10-25
mr.. MILLER has no platform,

MR.. MILLER has no platform, y
shrieks John Jenswold. AS nearly
as the voter can make out, Mr..
Miller needs no platform of high
sounding promises. He has deliv-
cred the goods heretofore and the
people can rest assured that the
district will not suffer under his
representation. Mr.. Jenswold is a
Democrat and that should be
enough for any of the voters of the
iron ranges. His platform cuts n o
ice whatever. He will vote as a
Democrat. If you want the control
of the government vested in this
party, why go ahead and vote the
Democratic ticket. You want to
remember however what happened
before when you voted for this
party. 75c and 81 day is pretty
small picking for yourself and fam
lily in these days of high living.
Perhaps your family does not like
soup. We don't think Mr.. Miller
needs a platform. He has record
second to no other candidate in the
state.

First Aid feature

DIR. Shields of the American Red
Cross society was the speaker at

aid" movement among the laborers
at the mines in this vicinity held at
the Knights of Kaleva hall Tues
day evening. DR.. Shields gave an
interesting and instructive talk on
first aid work, illustrating his
lecture with exhibitions of bandag-
ing for cuts and the placing of
splints for broken limbs. He also
gave an exhibition of the various
methods of artificial respiration
which should be used in cases of
severe electrical shock. Over a
hundred employees of the Oliver
company on the Vermilion were
present.

THE second choice feature of the
new primary law did not play any
important point in the primaries
last month. The reason for this is
that the feature was not generally
understood. Many however assert
that good citizen should have no
second choice. He is either for or
against candidate and no other
can fill the bill. Then again many
are not in sympathy with the elm
nation process of tallying votes for
candidates you do not care for and
did not vote for.

THE editor visited the range
towns a week ago and noted that
every one of them had park and
also public Fairgrounds for the
children. The question naturally
arises, why can't Ely, which is
recognized as one of the best little
cities in the state, have such i'm
provements? A park is needed
and far more than park is the
public Fairgrounds for the children
a necessity. Keep the children
off the street" is cry that daily
resounds but what on earth are you
going to do with them. Ely has
in the neighborhood of 1000 young
sters at that age when they should
have recreation and place to Sc
cure the same otherwise than on
the streets. Some good philantro-
phist can earn the undying devo-
ton of the children by donating a
piece of ground for a park and
playground. Who will be the
lucky man? The larger number OF
the parks in the range towns have
been given to the municipalities by
public spirited people at a small
cost to the cities, and after once
established the cost of maintenance
has been offset thousand fold by
the pleasure distributed. Let us
have the playground and the park,
if possible.

Now that the Legislature has pas
sed a measure compelling the news
paper man to publicly digorge the
secrets of his business to the extent
of showing who edits, controls,
owns and otherwise has interests
in the paper, the newspaper boys
will try and have law framed
compelling the paper man to make
public the names of his delinquent
subscribers, dead-beat advertisers
and the political advertising graft
er, also the fellow who orders job
printing and fails to settle. A
casual glance at our ledger displays
names on the wrong side that
might create some sensation in
commercial as we'll as social circles
if published. Why wouldn't it be
a good idea to print the names of
those who owe you alongside of the
statement as provided by the laws
twice a year whether there is law
to that effect or not. 1t is just as
fair as to compel the newspaper to
print the list of stockholders, mort
gagors, etc.

harsh things anent the Roosevelt

indicting J. Adam, J. M. Harlan

An Excellent Model

Lon Merritt, who pioneered on
the ranges in the early days, posed
for the figure of the timber cruiser,
which is one of four figures at the
base of the John A. Johnson me-
mortal which was unveiled at St.
Paul Saturday.
Many people who viewed the
memorial, recognized in the figure
of the cruiser the features of the
Duluth man and the belief that Mr..
Merritt posed for the figure was
confirmed later. Although Mr..
Merritt no longer knows daily the
Rough clothes and the pack of the
cruiser, he knew them for years,
and dressed in the garb of the pio-
neer days he made an ideal figure
for the base of the monument.
The selection of Mr.. Merritt as a
model for the figure is fitting
testimonial to the gentleman of
which this county can well feel
proud.

speed at which vehicle was going,
but also whether any speed between
ten and twenty-five miles an hour
was a violation of the law.
The new state auto law, under
which cases brought under the
present speeding campaign of the
police are tried, gives the judge
more real power than most
STATUTE said the Judge. 1t pro-
vides that autos may not go at a
rate exceeding ten miles an hour
in downtown districts, that they
cannot make more than fifteen
miles an hour in residence or close

must limit their speed to twenty

THE Democratic and Independ-

Unused to any alarming extent over
the platform upon which Governor
Eberhart stands for reelection. II

they are Democratic i'll principle
