AUSTRIA WANTS MEN
|0ffeTs Free Fare and $40 in Money
to Return.

Hundreds of Austrians returning
to their homes in the old country
from the ranges are awaiting them
selves of a special offer authorized
by the Austrian consulate giving
them free fare to the old country
and $40 it money for travelling ex-
penses across the ocean.
The Austrian government is par
ticularly anxious that its subjects in
this section return to the old coun-
try, where there is now a labor
shortage. The men are being of
fered free fare from Duluth to the
ports of entry in Austria, guaran-
teed steady employment at wages
ranging from S to 7 kronen a day
for a period of FIVE years and a gen
eral effort is being made to interest
them in returning.
Agents of the government on
the ranges state that 1000 men
will be taken from this section un-
der the terms mentioned above if
they can be secured. The pur-
chasing power of a kronen is equal
to a dollar of American money.
Representatives of Canadian rail
roads are also on the ranges endeav-
oring to secure laborers for work
on extensions on the Grand Trunk
Pacific in the far northwest. They
are offering 81 and IS a day wages
and free fare to the jobs.

HIGHER ORE PRICES
Ore Market Starts Off With
Raise in Prices Of Ore.

The iron ore market for 1913 was
opened today by the sale of from
5000, 900 to 1900, 900 tons of ore
at prices 10 cents below those which
prevailed in 1911, says the Iron
Trade Review. No change has
been made in the guaranteed con-
tent. Sentiment slowly crystal
lized in favor of naming the full
1911 prices and last week it seemed
all but certain that these prices
would prevail. But owing to the
reduction in freight rates by the
Minnesota ore carrying roads, the
carrying charge for a large percent
age of the ore is 20 cents less than
it was in 1911, and for this reason,
some of the ore men felt that it was
proper to concede 10 cents below
the 1911 prices. There has also
been a reduction of S cents on the
unloading charge at lower lake
ports. On the other hand, it is
confidently expected that the
freight rate by lake will be ad-
vanced this year, and an advance
in wages of miners is not improb-
able. Other considerations are
much higher taxes, which have
been imposed on ore properties
since 1911, and the increased cost
of mining supplies. 1t is believed
that the new schedule will be quick
ly accepted by ore consumers and
that a very large percentage of the
ore for 1913 delivery will be sold
within a very short time.

Has Entered Suit.

Math Kapsch of this city has en-
tered suit against P. R. Vail of
Virginia for assessments, interest
penalties and costs he says he had
to pay in the way of delinquent
taxes on property he purchased of
Mr.. Vail several years ago. Mr..
Kapsch states in his complaint that
these were due and payable at the
time he purchased but that he was
not made aware of the claims
against the property. He claims
$3.50 and that he was entitled to a
clear title with no encumberances.
The case will be heard in district
court.

Much Water in Mines.

The United States Steel corpora
tons big Chaplin mine at Iron
Mountain, Menominee range, has
recently experienced trouble with
water such as caused much annoy
ance in former years. The Chaplin
not only makes much water regu-
larly, but at times is afflicted with
excessive flows, on which occasions
it is sometimes necessary to utilize
not only all the pumps in the mines,
but bailers of large capacity. The
most recent occurance of this ma
ture was when a "vug' was tapped
in the sixteenth level of the Hamil-
ton shaft and that level and the ff-
tenth level were suddenly flooded.
AS a precautionary measure all the
men in all the workings had been
ordered to the surface. Mining
was resumed thirty-six hours later.
While the "vugs," usually under
ground cave-ins, are a matter not
as clearly understood as is desir-
able, it is believed that the latest
excessive flow came from the
twelfth level, where the water had
been damned for several years. As
a general proposition, the Memo
minee range mines are wetter than
those of any other Lake Superior
district, the Lake Embarrass re-
gion of the Mesaba range excepted.
This is because of the limestone
formation, a stratu which where
ever it exists is noted for generally
aqeous conditions. The water finds
its way for surprisingly long dis
tances through limestone, and the
deeper the shaft the greater the
area drained and the more water
handled. Were it not for the fact
that the limestone beds of the Iron
Mountain field average a pretty
sharp dip, it is likely underground
mining would be impossible.

AFTER THE POLICE
Officer MuhMch to Answer KanfeId
Charges.

At the meeting of the city coun-
Gil held Tuesday evening a commu-
~nication was read from H. Korn-
field to the effect that the police
force of the city was not doing its
duty and citing one officer in par
ticular. Mr.. Kornfeld stated that
he was a taxpayer and an American
citizen and that he was entitled to
police protection. He stated that
on Nov. 18th after the fire at his
store, parties of boys and young
men broke into the building and
carried away goods. That upon
seeing what was being done he
(Kornfeld) hired a team and re-
moved the balance to another build
ing and that during this process he
was assaulted, insulted, hooted and
jeered at by a party of $50 children
and men. He also states that when
he asked for police protection he
was laughed at by the officers. Dur
ing all the time the above was occur
ring, Officer Muhvich was standing
near the place and paid no atten-
ton to the riotous conduct. The
council by resolution issued a cita-
ton for Officer Muhvich to appear
before them on Dec. 18th and ans
wer to the charges.
1t is to be hoped that something
will be arrived at by the council at
the hearing. Not only MI. Korn-
field but several others have had &C.
casion to come in contact with the
in%efhciency of the police regula-
tons. At one time several of the
business men had a bill of grievan-
ces to lay before the mayor in re-
gard to the police but in some man.
ner it was not presented. Should
nothing come of the case now be-
fore the council. the matter will be
taken to the state authorities and
impeachment proceedings institu-
ted.
Mayor Weinzierl claims he cam
not see the faults of his officers and
that the city is better policed at the
present time than ever before. The
opinion is general that Mayor
Weinzierl being an honest, innof-
fensive gentleman himself cannot
see anything wrong with others.
Be this as it may. 1t must how
ever be admitted that where there
is so much smoke there must be
some fire.

Getting the sale from its New York

recting the sale from its New York
office.
So carefully has the sale been or
ganized throughout the country
that with the exception of the states
of Florida, Oklahoma, Nevada and
Idaho, Red Cross Seals will be on
sale in almost every city, town.
village and hamlet of the United
States and even in Hawaii, Porto
Rico and the Canal Zone.
The seals will be sold from drug
stores, department stores and other
kinds of stores and shops, from
post offices, railway stations, booths
on the street, hotel Hobbies and in
numerous other places. The num-
Der of agents handling the sale in
this way aggregates over $4,000,
while the actual number of individ.
uals engaged in the sale, almost en-
tirely volunteers. will reach well
over 100 900. Society leaders in
almost every large city of the coun-
try, notably in Pittsburg, Brook
lyn, Cleveland, Chicago, Cincinnati
and elsewhere are taking a leading
part in this campaign.
The American Red Cross has
already printed for the work over
IS. 00O, 900 seals aud probably the
edition will number. 100, 900, 00C
before the end of the campaign.
Fully 10, 600, 900 pieces of advertis-
ing literature have already been
sent out, and several million more
are being distributed from local and
state agencies throughout the coun.
try. 1t is planned to make the
campaign this year the largest that
has ever been held. If this anticip-
atoms of the anti-tuberculosis work
ers are realized, no less than $400,.
600 will be obtained from the sale
of Red Cross Seals. Practically all
of the money remains in the state
or city where the seals are sold
only a very small percentage of j,
is going to pay for the cost OF
printing and distributing the seals
and for the expense of running the
campaign.

CHILDREN INJURED
Ordinary Cathartics and Pills and
Harsh Physic Cause Distressing
Complaints.

You cannot be over careful in the
selection OF medicine for children. on
ly the very gentlest bowel medicine
should ever be given, except in emer-
gency cases. Ordinary pills, cathartics
and purgatives are apt to do more
harm than good. They may cause
gripping, nausea and other distressing
after-effects that are frequently
misunderstanding.
We personally recommend and
guarantee RexaIl Orderlles as the SAT-
est and most dependable remedy
which we know, for constipation and
associate bowel disorders. We have
such absolute faith In the virtues OF
this remedy that we sell It on our
guarantee of money back In every in
stance where lit fails to give entire
satisfaction. and we urge all in need
OF such medicine to try II at our risk
Rexall Orderlies are eaten Just like

They have very mild but positive ac-
ton upon the organs with which they
come in contact. apparently acting as
a regulative tonic upon the relaxed

the bowels to more vigorous and
