Usually express matter of this kind is locked in the threugh safe, which is transferred in- tact. On this occasion, however, the package was not for some unknown Téason in the safe. The messenger in charge took the package and placed it in the door of the car. He then turned around for a moment to reach for his receipt book,» and when he again looked’ for the morey it had disappeared. So far as ean be ascertained: the only thing - Live Stock “anters.

Murdered an Aged Woman With a Hammer and Then Shot the Son. Butte, Mont., Nov. 26. — Mrs. Hank Nerfing, who is believed to be 4e- mented and who is being held in tne prison hospital at Phillipsburg on sus- picion of being the murderer of Mrs. Patience Conn and James Conn, has made a confession to her physician, it fs alleged. She declared she killed Mrs. Conn with a hammer and then shot the man. At the time the bodies of the Conns were found the woman was also discovered near the house where the killing occurred, and her actions aroused suspicion. She had made her home with the Conns, and twenty years ago, while in a rage, she shot and killed her husband, but was , cleared on the grounds of insanity. ‘The murder of the Conns was thought to have been committed by. the lone bandit who held up the Northern Pa- cifte train at Bearmouth, as the Conn ranch is near the scene of the robbery. MAN WRECKS A TRAIN. Refuses to Get Out of the Way and Freight Stops Too Fast. Marinette, Wis., Nov. 26. — Am ob- etinate hunter wrecked a freight train on the Northwestern railway. The freight was coming along at a good, tate of speed, when the engineer saw @ man ehead on the track. The fellow did not get off the track, and to pre- vent running him down the engineer put on the emergency brakes, and stopped the train just in time to save | the man’s life. The sudden stop threw many of the freight cars off the track. —t took nearly two hours to clear the track for the passenger. The hunter who had derailed the freight train ater compelled the passenger train to pick trim’ up in the same place. CHILDREN DROWNED. Bodies Found in River Under an Over- turned Buggy. Watertown, S.

WOMEN CROWD OUT THE MEN. ‘ Number Employed Is Almost Doubled in Decade. Commissioner O’Donnell of the state labor bureau has issued an an- nouncement showing the changes in the proportion of female workmen in the various industries of Minnesota | trom 1890 to 1900, the figures being based upon the returns of the United States census. The data thus gath- ered is important as showing how much truth there is to the statements ) that women are crowding out the men in those kinds of work that require skilled hands. The data does not in- clude mercantile occupations and of- fice work. 4 The following table shows the rela- tive percentages of women in the two years in those lines in which they are employed in any considerable num- ber: . \ Total Per Per in Cent Cent 1900. 1890. 1900. tent- Occupation.

The utmost effort is being made by railways at Duluth to hustle forward ore before the close of navigation. This is to be expected, so far as iron ore is concerned, most any day, as af- \ter it is so cold that ore stiffens in cars and dock pockets it is with the greatest difficulty that it can ve moved at all. Up to date there has not been a cold day this fall and the regular crews have ‘no trouble in handling docks. ‘ Between 700 and 800 acres of land lying on the formation of the Vermil- lion range, east from Ely, and most of it close tq the famous “Section 30” has been optioned to the Mahoning Ore and Steel company, an independent mining company, half of whose stock . is held by the Cambria Steel com- pany. Several diamond drills are to be put on the lands at once and it is the intention of the company to sink very deep in its search for ore. The Zenith Furnace company, which is operating.one blast furnace at Du- luth and may have more later, is c..- ploring for ore on the western/end of the Mesaba range and will have a number of drills at work this winter. The furnace is so situated that it can use an ore of a lower grade that cari not be shipped Hast with prsofit, and it can get this low grade ore at a low- , er price ‘per unit, so offsetting some of ; the advantage, of location in the Pitts- burg region. | The Millie Iron Ore compahy, which has had for many years a small mine in the foot wall of the great Chapin in Michigan, is reorganizing and will in- crease its capital stock. It will make a.mutch larger output another year, Millie ore is of very fine grade and there is a large tonnage of a low grade silicious ore, which is now coming to be considered valuable. The Millie is owned in New York. It pays a royalty to the Chapin Iron company for its output and mines a portion of the Chapin deposit that the latter cannot well reach. : | Mesaba range mines of the Republic Tron and Steel company will produce this year about 225,000 tons of ore, a very small proportion for the mines and for the company. The-same-com- pany has about 150,000 tons produc- ‘tion on the Marquette range. It will largely increase on the Mesaba anoth- er year, when it will have an open pX mine working from which it can pro- duce ore very cheaply. | W. P. Snyder & Co, of Pittsburg, who have been working near Biwabik, on the Mesaba range, have suspended operations there and have moved their outfits to the west end of the range in Itasca county, where they have taken | an option for lease on the Arcturus mine. erwise test this discarded ore body, which may turn out to have a good deposit. : i | Deposits of asbestos near the Mar- quette range are being opened and with great | ei of success. -It is considered certain by mining men that one of the valuable asbestos mines of the United States will be found there. o The Breitung, Hematite Iron com- pany is sinking) a three-compartment shaft near Negaunee on the Marquette range afd is hoisting seme good ore. It is intended that q large mine shall be opened there this winter. This is on land that was claimed by the Cleveland Cliffs company and was ex- plored by it a year or so ago, with what success nobody knows, as re- sults were kept secret. STATE PINE SALE. $10.60 Per 1,000 Feet Amazes All Ex- perienced Lumbermen. A recent sale of state pine in the Duluth district at $10.60 per 1,000 féet was a record-breaker. -Lumbermen cannot understand how any buyer can get out at that price. Lumber shipments continue steadily, though in smaller volume. There has been no weather to stop mills or ves- ! sel traffic. Another week or two will see the latter over for the year. A sale of a large lot of Norway pine by Swallow & Hopkins, from their Fall Lake mill. It amounts to about ®way cut of the season. They will cut about as much white pine, which has not been sold. A few other sales have stock, to be. put in, the latter mostly in’ the form of agreements to sell at the going price later. But the market is quiet, and there is little to report just now. The harbor mills will all be idle with the closing down of Merrill & Ring. There is some talk of winter Sawing, and some contracts have been clesed.. More mill owners are figuring but have not come to any decision. Winter sawing rates are as they have been, $250 per 1,000, The cost of la- bor is constantly on the rise. Winter logging, which should be well under way now, is seriously im- peded by the weather. The swamps are very full of water and are not froz- en hard enough to bear a man. 8 ‘The Duluth & Northern Minnesota road has ceased hauling in logs for a few days, while its tracks are being balasted. It has recently purchased seventy-five new Jogging cars. ‘ Another Kind of Bail. ¥ Flanigan—Mrs. McGinty, ,Mike is locked up in the station again—wants you to come and bail him out. - Mrs. McGinty—All right, begorra; wait till I get a bucket and dipper.— Straight OFFER OF DOA NEY PILLS AND GET CURED. © ; : THE FREE| WONDERFUL RESULTS “FROM A.
