BASEBALL TEAM
WELCOME
League Season Is Officially Ended ir
Virginia With Games With
Grand Forks.

The Northern league baseball sea-
ssen, $50 farsas Virginia is concerned,
is over, the last game on the official
at home schedule being played here
last Sunday with Grand Forks. The
club is now in Winnipeg and lost to
the "peggers" yesterday in IL innings
and one of the best games that has
ever been seen on the Winnipeg
grounds, played before a record
crowd.
The club will return to Virginia at
the conclusion of the league season,
which includes but few more games,
and will probably play series with
the Mohamis here before it is dis
banded. It will also probably play
a series with the Hibbing team at
Hibbing, although neither series has
yet been definitely arranged.
AS business venture league base
ball has been a losing venture in Vir-
ginia this season. The exact amount
over the receipts that it has cost to
finance the club will not be learned
until the meeting Of the leagues Of
fcers and directors, which will be
held after the close Of the season.
The team finishes the season with
but one player who began with it, Art
Couture, the first baseman. Couture
has been very popular with the fans
of Virginia and may take position
and remain here until next season.
The Mohamis play Hibbing at Hjb-
bing next Sunday.

NEGRO SHOUTERS GET A
BIG BUSINESS UNDER CANVAS


BIG BUSINESS UNDER CANVAS
The Alabama Minstrels, appearing
under canvas in what was purported
to be a revival of old-time negro min
strelsy, showed to a big business on
the circus lots at the Iron Range hill
Monday night. 1t is an aggregation
of negro shouters. If there is a sing
er in the company or song in it's rep
ertoire it was not evident in the first
part. There were several acceptable
vaudeville turns in the olio. The COM
pany carries a flashy band and makes
an impressive street parade. 1t is not
up to the average Of travelling negro
minstrels in vocal talent and the sing
ing in the first part was mediocre in
the extreme, and the end-men's jokes
ran to horse-play. However, for a
negro performance, taken all in all, it
was up to. the Usual standard.

DR.. Colgrove Outlines Policy Re.
garding Social Functions
For Teachers.
FRIDAY NIGT BEST FOR
DIVERSION LIKE DANCING
Parties During Week Are Sometimes
Permissible-People of Refinement
Avoid Public Dances and Coarse
Entertainment Significant State
ment in Rules.

No rigid "thou shalt" or "thou shalt
nots" are laid down for the govern
ment Of the conduct of the teachers in
the Virginia schools, so far as their
attendance on social functions is con-
cerned, in the list of rules for the gov
ernment of teachers which will be SUBJ
mitted for the approval Of the teach
ers' committee of the school board at
a special meeting tonight. The sub
ject is treated frankly, however, by
Superintendent Colgrove in the list Of
instructions, which was prepared by
him.
Every teacher is to be the arbiter
of her own conduct. It must, however,
be consistent with the dignity Of his
or her calling and the efficient and
common sense administration of their
duties as we'll as harmonious with the
organization necessary in school work.
Treating the social question it is
stated that "There are no rigid thou
shafts, or thou shalt nots, laid down
for the government Of teachers
Teachers are expected to exercise COM
mon sense in their acceptance Of in
vitations to social functions"
It is further stated that so far as
possible dancing parties had best be
arranged for Friday night, while oc-
casions may arise where it is permis-
sible and even advisable to accept in
vitations at other times,
The public dance is treated ID 4
rather significant fashion in a clause
which states: "People of refinement
and culture avoid coarse entertain
ment and the public Dance"
The teachers are told that when
ever possible they should arrange to
accept invitations to social functions
where there is opportunity to meet the
parents Of their pupils, and the atti-
tude taken throughout is conservative.
It is also indicated that one of the
first duties of every teacher will be to
become acquainted with other men,
bers of the teaching organization of
the Virginia schols. Every opoprtun-
ity to this end will be afforded. DR..
Colgrove expects to visit each teacher
personally while school work is in pro-
gress and to advise with her and the
grade supervisors on all matters per-
tanning to the increasing of efficiency.
The instructions generally indicate
a conservative policy toward the
teachers. DR.. Colgrove has already
declared in an interview that he is not
opposed to teachers marrying, and Dan
Cupid can play as much havoc as he
likes about the schools so long as the
standard of efficiency does not suffer.
II should not like to think that our
teachers were so unattractive that
nobody would want to mary them, y
said DR.. Colgrove recently.

the summer with his parents at their

lake waters for the season on We'd
nesday when he landed an eight

His grand-dad, Robert Metcalfe, had
the catch on exhibit to the skeptical

it does not take great imagination to
figure out that the youngster had a
time in landing the fish, which Tailed

FARMERS ARE BUSY WITH. 81 E
HAVING AND HARVESTING


Farmers in the vicinity Of Virginia
are this week busy with haying and
harvest. While harvest does not mean
much to this section in the sense that
the term is applied to the older settled
and distinctively agricultural sections
the '*harvest" is this year more irn-
portant than ever. Little small grain
is raised in this section, but some few
farmers will cut wheat, oats and rye,
and self binders will be used at sew
eral Of the farms on the Pike Lake
road and in the vicinity of Sand Lake.
The small grain crop is excellent
while the acreage is small. Hay is q
fine crop and a good deal will be put
up in this section.

Assistant State Fire Marshal
Concludes Investigation
H.. Yesterday.
REMAINED IN THE CITY
FOR SEVERAL DAYS
Kept Identity Secret from Police Au-
thorities and City Officials Until
His Mission Was ~Concluded-Ad-
mits He Is Without Satisfactory
Clue to the Perpetrators.

Assistant State Fire Marshal Mar
tin yesterday afternoon concluded q
several days secret investigation Of
the origin Of the three fires in Vir-
ginia on the morning Of August 8, and
introduced himself to Mayor Murphy
and Chief Of Police Rice. While Mr..
Martin is convinced that all the fires
were Of incendiary origin he admits
his investigation has resulted in moth
ing in the way of tangible clue that
might aid in bringing the guilty par
ties to justice. He left the city yes
terday afternoon, after making a re-
port Of his investigation here to May
or Murphy and Chief of Police Rice.
Mr.. Martin is convinced Of one
thing, according to his statement to
Mayor Murphy, and that is that yegg-
men were not responsible for any of
the fires. He intimated that on the
face of things, so far as he was able
to discover that the person or per-
sons who started the fires was an anna
teur "Arebug. HE believes, also, there
is an excellent opportunity to have the
guilty person or persons apprehended.
The state fire marshal,s investiga-
tion, however, is not yet ended by
any means and nothing will be left
undone by the department that may
tend to bring the responsible parties
to Justice. -. d. H. z - ( ID: d. -
So far as the on II or 1lle II 81 81
concerned, except that practically cv-
erybody is convinced that they were
the work of an incendiary, the police
department is still at sea. It is also
still working on the case and will not
give up until it is established beyond
doubt that further effort is useless.

The Eaton mine, adjoining the

are interested, is placed on the list
Of shippers from the Messba range

Twenty thousand tons of ore from
the Eaton have been contracted to

49, 900 tons Of this amount will 90
down the lakes before the close Of
navigation, while the remaining 5000
will be shipped from the stockpile
at the beginning Of next season.

for several weeks past. The extent
of the ore body is not yet definitely
determined. The property comprises
80 acres and adjoins several other
mines that have been producing for
some time. Development work has
been; going on for some time also
and will be further prosecuted during
the fall and winter. Drifting from
the shaft is now in progress to de-
velop the extent Of the ore body.

Shipping conditions from the range
to the Head of the Lakes are again
normal this week after having been
in some degree hampered by labor
troubles at the Duluth docks last week.
Virginia mines, most Of which ship
over the Duluth & Iron Range, were
not affected by the trouble which did
not extend to the docks at Two Har-
bors.
Mining men believe that the pres
ent season will set new record for
ore shipments from the Mesaba range.
All records were broken last season,
but with the same movement Of ore
from the range as at present until the
close of navigation, the total figure
will be larger than last season.

the cause? Let the Banner answer
that question fairly and frankly.
Had the agreement between
Crump, Lea and others been main
tanned inviolate, the legislature
would now have adjourned; the
states appropriations would have
been made; the election machinery
would have been controlled by the
friends of temperance and honest
elections. We would have had no
"fillibuster" and all of its attendant
ills.
But Hooper would have it other
wise, because his heart bled at the
idea that his friends Lea, ANTS and
others were being "duped" by Crump.
The Banner says that it was necessa-
ry for Hooper to. urge the law en-
forcement bills because had he not
done so the regulars would have
passed them. 1t was to prevent a
trap" of this kind that Hooper
spurned the compact" II he did
not get into worse trap we have
not read history Alright Would 1t
not have been infinitely better for
the cause of good government had
Lea, Amis and others been "dured"
by Crump than to have had Hooper
"duped" by the regulars, as he was
in his effort to get through the law
enforcement bills. II there was any
"duping" done it was not by Crnmp.
B. w. Hooper, il he took the course
that he did for the reasons stated by
his organ, was the person "duped."
He gave ear to the professions Of
Todd and heart to the tears of John
Isaac And the result: Our pres
ent system of honest elections seri-
ously jeopardized, the state in confu-
sion, it's institutions embarrassed,
back tax iniquity whitewashed.
