JOHN E. MeG@OWEN KILLED. Well Known Enziner, Made Famous In Hinckley Fire, Meets Accidental Death. Ed. McGowan received the sad intelligence by wire from D. M. Phi- bin last Saturday, that his brother, John E., had been killed. He left immediately for Minneapolis. The Duluth News-Tribune contained the following account of the fatal ac- cident: “John E. McGowan. one of the oldest and most famous engineers on the Duluth division of the North- ern Pacific railroad, who formerly lived in the West End, was killed Saturday by the overturning of his engine, which jumped the track between Delwood and Montineda. He was pulling a logging train when a sinking ‘rail caused the engine to tip over. In an attempt to jump from the locomotive be was caught under it and driven bead first into the earth. His body was terribly crushed and death resulted instantly. McGowau became famous at the time of the Hinckiey fire when he was fire- man of the train which Engineer Root pulled through the blazing forest, saving over a hundred lives. He stood bravely at his post throwing water water over the burning !ucomo- tive and its eugineer. He was hand- somely rewarded by the road on that occasion. McGowan had many friends in Duluth and was well known among the railroad menof thissection. His fireman was only slightly injured in the accident.” SANITARIUM IN THE WOODS.

According to the Mississippi Valley Lumberman the rapid drop in the water of the Mississippi river at Min- neapolis during the past two weeks has created a situation that is any- thing but pleasing to the mauufac tures of white pine. Three weeks ago the river was very high and at one time approached the danger point for the handling of logs. Noone could have anticipated the rapid fall that has come since then and the boom company was not prepared for it. Had- any such condition been expected the company would have hurried the logs along. Now they are hung up at a distance from the mills and the water is too low to permit of successful driving. At different peri- ods during the past too weeks the They had a real vid fashion- | | Via Duluth, South Shore & Atlan- | tic Railway, and Detroit & Cleveland sorting works have been forced to! suspend operations and several of the mills have been obliged to shut down at different times. The situation is highly unsatisfactory, and unless the rains of this week help some the Minneapolis cut for the season will be very much reduced.

Archie Phillips, tbe deputy game warden of Duluth, happened to be in townand Archie hasayreat hankering for black bass and he didn,t do a thing but relieve Walter of the en- tire load. Not only this but he put the fisherman under arrest and took him before Justice Huson, The maximum penalty for having black bass in one’s possessicn and offering the same forsale is $5 per fish. One hundred an fifty av $5 per fish would make the neatlittle sum of $750.

A southern member of Congress who lives in a Washington hotel has for his personal attendant an old col- ored man to whom he ‘is much attach- ed. The negro; by virtue of long servi- tude, has come to assume considerable authority over his employer. The Congressman was visited by some friends the other evening the host offering them a drink of whisky, say- ing he was about to take one himself, hoping to break up a cold. The party took three or four drinks, and the jug was about to be passed again, when the negro servant made things very embarrassing to the host by saying: “Deed, sah, you said you was a-takin’ this yer whisky ‘to break up a cold. |. x= = ee ’Pears like they was tryin’ to break up a hull winter.” ‘ Be ae ate ae ate a ae ate ae ate ae ate a ea ak ate a eae ae ae ae ae ae aa Fe bk dhs dhechcdcdechcdedededidedd-ddedededede deeded SAE A EE ea ee a ae a a ae a RE A ae ae te. ERE REE HEE: Wants State to Feed Legislators. Well, Well! Here We Are Again! Representative Louis J. Tichacek of St. Louis will introduce a bill in the legislature providing that the state shall furnish its legislaters with rooms and board during their stay in Jefferson city. Mr. Tichacek says he is tired of rabbit pie and tough beef steak and that as things are now a man who lives in decent shape during the legislative session can hardly meet his expenses. He wants the legislature to appropriate $50,000 for the establishment of a hotel, which eould be used by members during the session and by state officials at other times. “Then,” says he, “if the boarding house fails to supply stan- dard grub the state can be held re sponsible.” With a pull line of Windows and Doors.

The Chicago Historical society, tnrough its executive committee, has expressed in favor of the commemor- ation and celebration on Aug. 1, 1903, as the centennial anniversary of the founding of Chicago. Resolutions were adopted in which the committee calls attention to the fact that the date chosen marks the passage of one hun- dred years since the Federal troops, commanded by Lieut. Swearirgen, es- tablished Ft. Dearborn at the mouth of the Chicago river and laid the foun- dation of Chicago. The occasion, in the opinion of the committee, marks the real beginning of the city’s his- tory, rather than the arrival of John Kinzie, as has been suggested.
