Gilberi Irwin, formerly night clerk at the Irwin Hotel in this city, met with a horrible death at the Mahon- ing mine shortly after s:ven o’clock this morning says, the Hibbing Sent- inel of Thurscay. He was employed by Winston Bros. & Dear on the stripping contract and used one horse “snatching” the dump cars into place. Shortly after commencing work this morning his horse became frightened. at an ore train that was rapidly back- working. Gilbert was using every endeavor to keep the horse out of harm’s way when he himself was struck on the shoulder by the on-! coming train and hurled to the track. ‘The train of ore. cars passed over his legs and the lower part of his body, mutilating the doomed man in a shocking manner. In fact, the lower half of the body was ground into a sickening mass of bones, flesh and entrails. Sympathetic hands carried _the| dying man in a blanket to the hospital where he expired two hours after the accident. He remained conscious until death and was seemingly in little pain. Gilbert Irwin was a brother of J. W. Irwin, formerly of Grand Rapsds. Ladies: We can save you money on Capes and Cloaks. Beckfelt & Mather.

HILL’S GREAT Tt work attended to byO.H.| HILVS GREAT CUT-OFF, | ——————————————— Work Will Begin Near Cloquet a Few Days. A Gipaiton: Minn., special to the Times . says: Before the end of the week the work of practical construc- | tion on the’ Great Northern’s direct | line from Duluth to this section of the | valley, connecting with its tsanscon- | tinental hne at Grand Forks, and giv- | ing practically a straight-away course } | to Duluth, will have been taken up. ‘The entire link between the Red Riv- er valley and the head of the lakes will be placed in the forge and kept hot until it is turned in a manner that will weld the wheat fields with what is practically tide water, along a line of rails that will mean to the farmer and producer a marked increase in the price of his commodities. Work will begin near Cloquet, from which point they will constrct a grad to run south and east, connecting | with the Great Northern's Eastern Minnesota line at a pomt between Dedham and Boylston, entering the Lake Superior terminals at West Sup- erior. ‘This work will probably oc- cupy the time until snow fiies, and the | task of constructing a line west into and through the “wilds of Beltram county will not be undertaken unti i | the spring of 1898. Surveyors have been working dur- ing the past few weeks with the evl- dent intention of bringing the line into the village of Beltrami, and they have finally succeeded. ‘There is no longer any doubt that Sam Hill and Tams Bixby’s town come toit through being on the direct route from the west to Duluth. ‘The | right- of-way will be cleared during the winter, and spring will see active work of construction going on across the country from Fosston east toward | Cloquet A deflection in the route | has been agreed upon which will carry it farther south of Red lake than was originally planned, and the dimimshed reservation will not be touched. This was necessary in order to sccure the desired grade from the Clearwater to Fosston. ‘The result to the Great | Northern when the line is completed | will be a road that can run wheat | from the extreme western limit of the Red River vailey to the lake terminals onaroadbed, the heaviest grade of | which does not exceed four-tenths per cent, ‘This means that a locomotive | can haul twice the number ot loaded | cars.that 1s now taken over either the Great Northern or the Northern | Pacific, with a mileage greatly short- | ened.

Co, Ind- | lanapolis, Ind, The Chinook is Coming Gloom and sorrow disappear be- fore “The Chinook” like magic, as the western wind from which it takes its name eats up the snow and _ ice} leaving the air genial and balmy. So “The Chinook”? chases away _ all trouble and sadness leaving only hap- piness andcontentment. The play is | bright and attractive; the plot 1s good, the episodes interesting and dialogue spirited. It is one of the few refined novelties for which’ we are indebted to the ‘stage. Its bright attractive idea 1s adaptable both to the parlor or the stage and in both fields a fu- ture is reserved for it. It isa beauti- ful story of love, romance and sacn- fice and is a decided sucess. The | play is built upon entirely original ideas and is very realistic; some of } the scenes represent western life, the working of the mine, showing: the hydraulic power in operation, the typical stage coach which has figured so greatly in the romantic stories of the west. One has to see the piece | to have any conception of the interest this novel entertainment contains. | Miss ‘Thompson’s work is beyond crit- icism, The Chinook wins friends where ever it is presented.

EME Ae aa October Ladies’ Home Journal. “Tnside a Hundred Homes,’ the first of a succession of articles pictur- ing interiors of the most artistically furnished houses in America, is one of the notable features of the Octo- ber Ladies’ Home Journal. Another of special. interest introduces ‘The New Tenants of the White House,’ through photographs of the McKin- ley household. he pictures were made expressly for the. magazine, and have never before been published. Lilian Bell’s chat—bright and witty—it is needless to state—of her preparations and departure for Eur- ope is also an interesting feature. It is the prelude to a series of letters Miss Beil will write to the Journal, giving her inpressions of the Old World. In the same issue Mrs. Ly- man Abbott begins a series of ‘‘Peace- ful Valley” papers, in which she will portray the life of an ideal rural community Edward W. Bok points out to young men where the best chances of success await them, and counsels young women who object to the word“obey” in the marriage ceremony. William George Jordan tel's of the ‘‘Wonders of the World’s Waste”—the astonish~ ing and profitable uses to which re- fuse of manufacture, etc., is put. In a lighter vein are Charles Dana Gib- son’s Dickins drawing—"Caleb Plum- mer and His Daughter”; Mary E. Wil- kin’s sketch of a New England apple- aring bee: the conclusion of “The Spirit of Sweetwater,” Hamlin Gar- lands serial, and a deliciously remin- iscent poem, ‘‘Leisurely Lane,” which W.L. Taylor has illustrated. Mrs. ‘T. Rorer solves the economic prob- lem of feeding a family of eight at an aggregate cost of ten dollars a week. She fully details her plan and pre- sents daily bills of fare. ‘Chere isa timely article on Halloween games and pastimes, and others touchin: every phase of woman’s work an home life.
