COUNCIL BUYS UfRAIKE ENGINE

Liquor License of Virginia Brewery b Tuned Down Upon Keipiest of

AMcnum Mattson.

The council at the Tuesday eve* ning session continued its policy of progression by the purchase of ft LaFrance full size fire engine, the price paid therefor being $5,575.00. The only other bid submitted for an engine was from the W. S. Nott Company, at a price of $5,509.00, but the committe decided the LaFrance Engine presented features which recommended its purchase.

The resolution passed at the pre­vious meeting granting to the Vir­ginia Brewing Company a liquor license for a saloon in their brewery block, was rescinded upon motion ot Alderman Mattson, who contend­ed at the time of the passage of the resolution that the action was wrong and that the council had no authority to grant 6 license outside the saloon limit as established.

D. W. Freeman and other proper­ty owners in blocks Nos. 21 and 23, at the west end of Chestnut street, petitioned the council for the exten­sion of the patrol limits to cover these blocks and for the extension of the limits wherein intoxicating liquors may be sold.. This petition was referred to committee but will doubtless be granted, it being rec­ognized that the congested condi­tion of Chestnut street needs an outlet from the over-supply of sa loons.

Fire Chief Thayer submitted his annual report, including several recommendations, which was ac­cepted and the recommendations referred to the committee on fire and fire department.

The street commissioner reported that the new winter road to Gilbeft had been sufficiently cut out as to permit of driving, and that he him self had made a trip over the same and that the road was in shape to be opened to the public so soon as provision had been made for a cross ing of the D., M. Sc N. tracks.

Dayton-Grigqs Nuptials. One of the most brilliant and

beautiful weddings of the season took place at Trinity church, Ath ens, on Wednesday evening, Dec ember 30, 1908, when Miss Anna Cornelia Griggs, daughter of £. Z Griggs, was united in marriage to Paul Dayton, of Towanda. The cer­emony was performed by the Rev. W. K. Daw, rector of the church, the impressive ritual of the ring bein£ used, and was witnessed by a large number of friend9 and relatives of the contracting parties. The bride presented a charming appearance in a directoire gown of white satin trimmed with lace and carried a shower bouquet of white lilies of the valley. Ttje maid of honor was Miss Mabel Griggs, sister of the bride, who was gowned in pale blue satin and carried a large bunch of American beauties. The brides-maids were Miss Eliza Shaut and Miss Miriam Ott, of Sayre; Miss Julia Haverly, of Athens; Miss Emily Piolett, of Wysox; Miss Sarah Jen­nings, of Towanda,and Miss Alberta Cranmer, of Sheshequin. They wore directoire gowns of pink satin and carried shower bouquets of pink carnations. The Misses Edith and Charlotte Ahbe, cousins of the bride, acted a9 flower girls, carry­ing baskets of roses. The best man was Walter Dayton, brother of the groom. George and Seth Dayton, brothers of the groom, Rogers Hale and Malcolm MacFarland, of Tow­anda; Leslie Griggs, brother of the bride, and Andrew Newberry, of New York, were ushers. H. H. Kin­ney presided at the organ and play­ed the wedding march from Lohen­grin. A delightful feature of the ceremony was in the singing of "O Perfect Love," by Miss Grace Stim-son. The decorations at the church were pink and white carnations with holly.

After the ceremony the invited guests assembled at the house where a reception was held and sup­per was served. The house was very beautifully decorated with holly and smilax, sprinkled with pink and white roses and pink and white carnations. The bride, who is one of the most charming and best liked of the social set of Bradford county, was the recipient of many beautiful and costly piesents from her host of friends. The groom, is a son of G. A. Dayton, of Towanda, and is in business in New York. He is one of the most popular, young men of this section. They left on their wedding trip in a shower of rice and old shoes and with the hearti­est congratulations and best wishes of their wide circle of friends.—Wav-erly, N. Y., Herald.

Arrange for Third Annual Ball. At the last meeting of Mesaba

Range Division No.654, B. of L. F. & E., committees were appointed to take charge of arrangements for the third annual ball to be given by that order at the Finnish Temper­ance Hall on the evening of Febru­ary 22nd.

The boys always arrange a good time for their patrons, and always have a big attendance, and the com­ing ball will be no exception.

Will Constitute Chapter. Virginia Chapter U. D., R. A. M.,

Range Printers 6ot Their Satisfaction. It is not often that a class of trades­

men feel called upon to be mag­nanimous: when, bidding upon work for. the richeat county in the state of. Minnesota, but the printers of the ranges have been compelled, through the active opposition of the Duluth printers to their enter­ing the competition for county pat­ronage, to give the county the best end of the profit-sharing plan tor some years past, the range printers having obtained the work for two years past.

The same party of range press representatives, including Messrs. Pfreminer of the Hibbing Tribune, Perham of the Eveleth News, Cup-pernull of the Virginian and the Enterprise scribe, who have held the work in past, were Duluth vis­itors the first of the week, making their annual pilgrimage in behalf of the tax-payers of the county and entering a bid, in conjunction with the ^filler-Davis Company of Min­neapolis, for the county blanks and printed stationery. Realizing that the bid would resolve itself into a case of "dog eat dog" the range del­egation figured it out that they wanted the work—not for profit but for the sake of having the work— and entered their bid accordingly. It also became evident that the Du­luth crowd, who formerly held up the county for thousands of dollars per year on this work, figured the same way—and they got the work, there being a difference of 65 cents on a bid of upwards of $2,000 in fav­or of the Duluth crowd, the work being awarded Fred. H. Lounsberry at $2,022.30.

And while the range boys did not land the contract this time they brought home with them a feeling of satisfaction which was worth fullv as much as would have been the profits (?) on the work at the price bid, knowing full well that the successful bidder will wait a long time to acquire a competence sufficient to sport a steam yacht if he kept an army at work on a sim­ilar percentage,

The board of county commission­ers were entitled to pass a resolu tion granting each of the range boys $30 of expense money for the saving made to the county through their efforts in entering the competition for the work, but depsite the fact that such a resolution was over­looked the boys will be on deck again next January, and the next, feeling that inasmuch as the ranges pay upwards of 80 per cent of the taxes of St. Louis county they have a right to cut in on the bid for such work. This assumed right has been denied by the Duluth printers, but right or no right the hold-up game has become a thing of the past in this county and will continue to be past.

Railway and Lumber Interests Hold Meeting.

A meeting of the varied interests represented in the recent amalga­mation of the Duluth, Rainy Lake & Winnipeg railway, the Virginia Lumber Company and the Weyer­haeuser and Hines timber holdings, was held in this city on New Year's day, after the party had made a business trip over the new road and through the vast timber holdings represented in the deal.

Among those present at this con­ference were Isaac Buxton of Chic­ago, President Edward Hines of the Hines Lumber Co., S. J. Cusson of Duluth, A. D. Davidson and A. Schultz of the Canadian Northern, Winnipeg, Rudolph and T. Weyer­haeuser of St. Paul, W. H. Cook of Duluth, Vice President Mann of the Canadian Northern and A. F. Mc Kenzie of Winnipeg, beside a num­ber of bankers and attorneys who have been prominent in perfecting the organization.

It is understood the conference related to the possible erection ot shops at this point and the exten­sion of the line to Duluth.

Anti-Tuberculosis Exhibit Opens. The anti-tuberculosis exhibit un­

der the direction of the state board of health was opened at the Roose­velt Auditorium yesterday after­noon, the attandance of 488 showing the interest of citizens in the sub­ject.

The meeting was opened by an address of welcome by Mayor Haw-kinson, being followed by addresses by Dr. Tuohey of Duluth, Dr. Jackola of Duluth, a paper by Dr. C. B. Lenont and an address by Dr. J. H. Crowe on thenatureand purpose of the exhibit.

The meeting this evening will be under the direction of the Com­mercial Club, and the discussion will be along the lines of a pure milk supply.

The mass meeting to have been held on Sunday afternoon has had to be cancelled owing to the inabil­ity of the management to secure the services of Twin City speakers, because of previous engagements.

Talked Base Ball. George F. Shea, city attorney, re­

turned the last of the week from a visit to his home at Perbam, and while in Duluth ran foul of a re porter for the Evening Herald, fil­ling the news vender with bright visions of what the Virginia , ball team was to do the coming, season.

A little early to commence the fight for 1009 championship honors, perhaps, but none too early for. the managers of tbe Virginia team to get their ear to the ground , and . lis­ten to the noises being made by some of the other aspirants Jn their scramble for "anything, to do up Virginia."

Asks $5,000 Pawegee. Matt Kangas doesn't believe that

August Walberg^a Virginia saloon­keeper, has an&righJt to have quar­relsome drooken mew anmnd ihis pl^ce andi seUt them liquor,, sac he has bronght <«uit ag-ainal- Walberg for $9,000. Kangas waa hit in the eye with a whisky glass by one Dan Salmi, in Walberg?s saloon last Jan­uary, and one eye^destroyed. He-wants Walberg to settle. ( The complaint, which was filed with the clerk of the district, court this morning, alleges that Walberg conducts a saloon at Virginia, and invites people into his place to drink. It is charged that it is Wal-berg's duty to provide for the safety of his patrons, and to see that they are not subjected to insult and in­jury.

It is charged that on Jan. 8 of this year, Kangas went into the saloon with another man to. drink, and Salmi was in there, intoxicated. Kangas charges that Walberg knew Salmi, was intoxicated, but continu ed to sell him drinks, and also knew that Salmi was quarrelsome when in such condition. He claims that Salmi attacked him, and Walberg and his bartender, who were in the saloon, made no attempt to inter­fere and protect him.

He says he was forced to remain home from work for six weeks; that he paid out $23 to a physician, and suffered $5,000 general damages. In all, he wants $5,100 for his injuries. —Duluth Herald.

Sink Drainage Shaft at Sliver. The Sliver mine of the Hanna in­

terests prepares for a big season in 1909, and under the direction of Capt, Harry Tallou, formerly of the Yates, a drainage shaft is being sunk this winter, that shovel work may not be interfered with another season.

Butler Bros., who have the strip­ping contract at this property, have this week closed down work for the winter, having the mine in such shape that with a small amount of cleaning up in the early spring shipments may be commenced.

At the Hanna mine of the same company, located between this city and Mount Iron, stripping opera­tions were closed down on Saturday, the property being now in shape to forward 150,000 tons the coming season.

The Jennings mine of the Hanna company, located in the Kinney district, will clean up its ore body this we?k and close. The Jennings adjoins the Yates, where the ore body was exhausted the past sea­son and which has been permanent­ly closed and dismantled.

Open New Show House at Hibbinq. Messrs. Smith & Dees, who have

made a pleasing success ot the Orpheum Theatre in this city sjnee assuming the management of the same some three months ago, on Saturday last closed a' deal for the lease ot the Close building at Hib bing, and will at once fit same as a vaudeville house, expecting to be in readiness to open about the 15th of the present month.

The building is commodious, well located, and the people of Hibbing will find the management giving them a show well worthy of their patronage. Mr. Dees will go to Hib­bing to take direct charge of the new place, while Mr. Smith will de­vote his attention to the local amusement parlors.

Musical Recital a Pleasing Success. The Musical Recital at the Roose­

velt Auditorium on Saturday eve­ning last by students of the musical department of the Gustavus Adol phus College of St. Peter, assisted by local talent, was a Dleasing suc­cess, the large auditorium being crowded and the numbers receiving due appreciation.

The piano playing of Luther G. Hanson and the violin numbers by Joel P. Hanson.,-sons of Rev. and Mrs. P. O. Hanson, were worthy a special note. Especially so the violin selections, the player being but twelve years of age. His work did great credit Alike to his talent and to instructor, Prof. Olsen, of the Range School of Music, who played piano accompaniments.

Wedded at Dam Fads, Wis. J. M. 0'Leary,of the Duluth, Rainy

Lake & Winnipeg, returned Monday from a trip to Clam Falls, Wis., where-on Christmas . day he was united in marriage to Miss Katie Hunter, of that place.
