MOTHER WRITES
FROM AUSTRIA

A pathetic story of the desolation
and suffering the war in Europe
is causing is contained in letter re-
ceived in Virginia yesterday by JOS
aph Vukelich from his mother in
Karasno, Austria, near which is now
assembled one of the largest armies
in the western theatre of war.
In it Mrs. Vukelich declares that
only old men, women and children are
left in the towns, every man who is
able to do military duty having been
summoned to the front. Prices on
food stuffs have trebled since the out
break Of the war. In Krasno the peo-
pie are paying 20 cents pound for
cornmeal, where before the war the
prices were 8 and cents a pound
The letter was opened by the military
censor before it left Krasno. 1t con-
tanned no news of battles or their re-
suits although several had been fought
in the vicinity of Krasno at the time
it was posted, September /. 1t took 81
days from the time it was placed in
the mails before it reached it's desti-
nation in Virginia. Letters received
in Virginia this week are the first tc
reach this city from Austria since the
outbreak of the war.

EVELETH MAN IS
SUING FOR $4,000

Careless mining operations by the
Oliver Iron Mining companey have
caused $4,000 damages to the dwelling
mouse and lot of Ulrik Lepponen at
Eveleth, according to a suit begun by
him in district court at Duluth yester-
day.
Since September, 1909, he says, the
company has been conducting mining
explorations beneath the property on
which he owns surface rights. AS a
result the dwelling has been dam
aged, the windows broken, water pipes
disconnected and the surface Of the
ground depressed in number of
places, he alleges. He also has lost
the rent on the place since September
1909, and has invested $500 in an at.

ANDREW NELSON
IS ENCOURAGED

DULUTH, Oct. 23.-Andrew Mel
son, democratic candidate for congress,
returned this morning from a speech
making campaign of Itasca and
Koochiching counties. Since Monday
morning he has made speeches at
Deer River, Mack, Jesse Lake, Coal
dock, Stanley, MARCEL, Big Fork and
Cohasset. During this trip, Mr.. Mel
son was under the guidance Of C. M:
King of Deer River. That Mr.. Nelson
is much encouraged with the outlook is
evinced by the excellent spirits he
possesses.
~ must say" said he today, that
the trip has resulted much better than
| hoped for, and I admit that hoped
for good deal. Our meetings at Deer
River brought out about 200 people
and at each Of the other places large
crowds, proportionate to their size,
we're present at our meetings. Enthu-
siasm to an extent that was unex-
pected, developed, and I feel that the
trip has been most fruitful both for
Congressman Hammond and myself -
for l campaign for Mr.. Hammond just
as hard as I do for my own cause.
Everywhere the democratic sentiment
is rife. President Wilson is the most
popular man among those whom have
seen of any president we have had
within our time; and Congressman
Hammond is proving to be candid
ate who is sweeping all before him.
AS for myself, I feel that have made
remarkable gains.
&C. M. King, by the way, make a
most excellent sponsor, and l feel
very much indebted to him for the
fine work he has done for me and for
the ticket in general"

Librarians of State and St. Louis

Come Here.

AS convention city, Virginia will
blossom forth into full bloom in 1915
Three annual gatherings Of various
civic, social and commercial bodies
have already been signed to accept the
hospitality of this city and, it is al
most certain, that others will surely
follow.
After the delegates from the local
Commercial club to the St. Louis Coun-
ty club convention at Hibbing this
week, nailed the 1915 meeting of that
body for this city, Mayor Michael
'Boylan, City Clerk A. E. Bickford,
City Attorney R. j. Montague and
Fred NOLAN, president Of the city
council, who went to Mankato to at
tend the annual session Of the Mime
sofa State League of Municipalities.
yesterday talked the members of the
league into holding their 1915 conven-
tion in this city. It required a good
deal Of generalship to pull the stunt;
but the Virginians made good.
This morning Miss Mabel New
hard, city librarian, announced that
the Minnesota Library association
will hold their annual meeting here
next July or August. There will be
about rs delegates in attendance at
this meet, which will last several days.
With the conventions already booked
and with several others in prospect,
Virginia should entertain several
thousand visitors in 1915 and thus
advertise the grand features of the
city in the best possible manner.

Republican Special Train Will
Invade Mesaba Range Next
Week.

ST. PAUL, Oct. 23-E. S. Young
dahl and George A. Christon, members
of the Hennepin county Democratic
county committee startled the Democ-
racy of that county by resigning and
giving as their reason that the brew
cries were controlling the state cam
paign for Hammond. Their letters
Of resignation were made public by the
Lee press bureau. Senator Sam D..
Works was specifically mentioned as
one of the men who favored the brew
cry faction.
That the fight for governor will de-
velop into mud-slinging contest is
beginning to be evident. Mr.. Lee con-
tinues to cry "brewery control' and
Mr.. Hammond continues to ask Mr..
Lee to name those who are under such
control. Mr.. Lee has responded by
placing Senator Works at the head of
the list.
The success Of the Democratic spec
ial train is spurring the Republicans
on in their plans for a special train
trip of the iron ranges next week.
Although strenuous fights are being
waged in the various congressional
districts of the state, it is almost GER
tain that the Democrats will find
themselves without representatives
in congress from this state. Mr..
Hammond's old district is counted on
to send Franklin Ellsworth, Of Man.
kato, to congress. The Democratic
candidates in the other districts of the
state are not thought to be making
very much progress.

keeper, who was murdered in his place
of business on Christmas day, 1911
and her three children, Lucy, Hugo
and Milo Pakkala, will pay tax of
$102.61 to the state on their inner
itances. The taxes was determined
yesterday by Judge S. w. Gilpin OF
the probate court in Duluth.

mortally wounding Pakkala, the pro-
prietor, and Koski. Drexler was ap-
pretended and was later convicted and
|sentenced to life Imprisonment at Still
water penitentiary as punishment for
1.-THE double killing.
The winding up of affairs in the
Pakkala estate also calls to mind the
suit which Mathilda Koski, widow OF
the farmer who was killed in the fata
saloon brawl, brough against Mrs
Pakkala to recover $4,000 as damages
by reason of her husbands death. Sht
based her claim for damages on the
contention that Koski's death had beer
caused indirectly by reason of the fac
that the saloon had been kept ope1
all night in violation of the law ane
that it was a scene Of riot and dis
order. Pakkala's bondsmen, tn
Bankers Surety company of Cleve
land were named as co-defendants will
the widow.
The lawsuit was settled out of cour
in July 1913, Mrs. Koski receiving
81 900. At the time Of the settlement
Mrs. Koski and her five children wer
living in Duluth and were charges o
the Associated Charities. The cas-
never came to trial on it's merits bu
was fought out on the legal point
involved. After it had been carried t.
the supreme court and remanded bac
for trial, a settlement was effected.

Says Calligan Will Carry Vir-

Charles Calligan Of Duluth, regis
ter of deeds Of st Louis county and
candidate for reelection to that office,
was in Virginia last evening after
having made an auto trip over the
Western Mesaba in company with
Victor Benoe, Ernest Clarke and
George Cohen of Hibbing.
"It's all over but the shouting," said
Mr.. Benoe, who is one of the leading
politicians of the county. 1--WE have
canvassed the entire district in the
past month, and everywhere we go it
is all Calligan. Duluth is overwhelm-
ingly strong for our man and on the
range we look for to l vote. From
what / can learn here in Virginia we
will carry this city by at least 200
majority.
"From my canvass of the county
and which has been very thorough, it
looks to me as if John R. Meining will
be reelected sheriff by one OF the
'grandest majorities ever given a can
didate for that office in this county.
Charles Calligan will be reelected

to spare. Odin Haldin will be return
ed to the office of county auditor and
A. E. Dyer of Hibbing will be re-
elected county surveyor. l am sure
of the men l have mentioned. Their
vote will be so big that there is no
chance for me to go wrong in my
prediction"
This statement of Mr.. Benoe's must
be taken seriously for, among people
who are wise to county politics, he is
considered to be always in the know
and is regarded as one Of the shrewd-
est politicians of northern Minnesota.

was troubled with eczema. 1t began
with a sore on the top Of the scalp,
broke out as pimple and grew larger
until it was large red spot with a
crust or scab over it. This became
larger finally covering the entire scalp
and spread to different parts of the
body, the limbs and back and in the
ears. These sores grew larger grad
ually until some were as large as a
quarter of a dollar. They would itch
and if scratched they would bleed and
smart. The clothing would irritate
them at night when it was being re-
moved causing them to itch and smart
so could not sleep. A watery fluid
would run from them. My scalp be-
came covered with a scale and when
the hair was raised up it would raise
this scale: the hair was coming out
terribly.

Through some mistake unrectifed.
All, Valentine, on this your day
Release those hearts you've laid away.
Who owned them ALL did this one wait
In indecision till too late?
Was this one withered by word
From some old gossip overheard?
This one is old, yet came to you
Trusting and light when 1t was new,
And one mayhap Is waiting yet
Who loved 1t and can't forget.
And so, ST. Valentine. we pray
Give back the hearts you've laid away.
I'm sure that they will find the way
Back to the love of yesterday:
Give heed to this poor plea Of mine.
Give them chance, st. Valentine,
And there is one within your store
That I have long been seeking for.
And since her heart. the best of them,
Is there among the rest of them.
Make this Emancipation day:
Set free the hearts you've laid away.
