E. C. Waite arrived from White River, Vt., the tirm,s headquarters ! companied by six skilled assistants. He uas hired all the men available in coustraction of a coffer dam immedi- ately at the head of the falls, in order that the large ledge of rock at that point may be blown out. Large rock crushers will be install- edand the rock blasted out will be crushed for mixing with the sand and cement in the manufacturer of concrete, of which the dam is to be wholly > constructed. Last winter several hundred thousand feet of jlogs were banked along the river, ,and these will be used in the cun- struction of the coffer dams, and as soon as navigation opens on Rainy | lake the additional logs required for this purpose will be towed. down by the boats. Waite Brothers haye been employed for years by the gov- ernment in the construction of break- waters, dry docks for war vessels, and other similar work, and are recog- nized as experts.—Duluth Herald.

DututH Van & SroraGe Co., BLOODY WARNING FOR PARENTS The old warning that parents should | keep their daughters under observa- tion, even when- they can be trusted to manage their own lives without |restraint, is again written in chéract- ers of blood. The Little Falls in stance, horrible as it. is, is no more flagrant on the side of the brutal murderers than of the victim’s re- latives. Her naked and mangled body lay for nearly a week in the swamp where it was found before father or brothers began to be uneasy ;and to make search for her. . It is the old lamentable story. The girl was good, intelligent, trusty and self reliant. She was left to take care of hereself and did so as far as any girl could. She moved at will between her father’s house in Darling and ‘her sister’s house in Little Falls, without any special interest in her comings and gomgs on the part of either family. Each family thought she was with the other when the ghastly trage- dy was enacted and for four days long er, during wich her bestial murderers probably put hundreds of miles be- tween themseives and vengvance. We do not dwell upon these de- plorable incidents to harfow up the minds of stricken mourners, but to impress a lesson for brothers of girls no less imnocent and no better shielded from a like fate, The security of all these is far more more important than the lacerated feelings of one famiiy, which has paid the dearest price for its thoughtles-ness. The ove excuse for this thoughtless- ness is that it is almost universal in American familes, Itis nearly, as general in the city as in* the country and almost as dangerous in the country as it isin the city, We have ail overdone the attractive idea that Amenican girls are geod enough to take care of themselves, and can dis pense with_ the continual oversight which is the only safeguard of the physically weaker female against the brutal male all-over the- world. We pay for this with the public tragedy of lawless vengeance as well as the private tragedy of ravished and murdered girls. — Msnneapolis Tri- bune, parents and TAKE NOTICE. Replying to the article which ap- peared last week in the Herald-Re- view, writtten by Frank Story, a pre- tended taxidermists criticised the mounting of two wolves,now in J. Hepfeit’s soloon. He invites the pub- lic, ‘to call at his shop and look at a specinien of a mounted buck. not an Indian buck, but a deer.,’ Now my private opinion, publicly expressed, is that if this deer now on exhibition at Storey’s shep is msunted and he reprosents it to be, “life like,’? then I judge that the animal diced from me of the following diseases: lum- vago, bright’s disease or diabetes, and was found six months after he died. This pretended artist vow in- vites the public to call aud see for themselyes. I most sincerely hope that the public wili go and carefully inspect this insulting joy of taxi- dermy. It,neuer fails when one con- tinually brags.and boasts of his abili- ty and skill but what you find him in the shade behind the light house, The bible tells us that David was along distance thrower, Moses shut out the Egyptians at the Red Sea, and Rousevelt is a rough rider, but no where in the pages of taxidermy do we tind mention of a huge mouth- ed, leather lunged idivt, who brags and hesbaws all over the country what he can accomplish. “Come and see that deer’ as he says, ‘and convince yourseives.”” He had two fine specimens of wolves in his pos- session this wivter, He told some of his school children chums that he was going to myunt them whole, He failed for the want of skill and abili- ty. He spoiled a Jot of specimens for me, and I gave him the G. B. When he came bere he tried to make me thihk that he laid the eggs and hutched out the birds and the fregs, which are so skilfully illustrated in Johnson's and David’s Natural his- tory. “Come snd see that mounted buck deer.” This mau Ssorey is a hero &f tne Spanish American war. He saved ; the country. “He was a walking lead mine. He bears inuumerable sears Duluth, Minn.!on his body and is the heroof many | nair-breaath escapes. Each reeur- ring date is the anniversary of the | day when be was shot either through the head or body in some battle, skirmish or accidental discharge of firearms during the Spanish American | war. In this way he saved the lives of thousands of suldiers, who other- wise_would have beeu killed. ‘The business of his life in those stiring times, outside of mounting bucks, was stopping builets intended for other soldiers. And he got no thanks for it either. With a sublime: dis- regard for his personal safety he was always in the froat rank making a breastmark of himself. When not engaged in actual battle, he was always hustling along several miles in advance of the army looking for lead intended for his comrad His body is so seared and glazed with sears tha' itis unterrly impossible for him to induce perspiration even in the hottest weather. Said he toa daily reporter: ‘‘See these bow-legs,—got tha way from carrying Spanish lead. The enemy had nearly exhausted their ammunition, and as 1 was known to have the most of it in my body, General Weyiler offered $10,000 reward for me dead or alive. They intended to boil me down and get the lead outof my system, - [ had no particular use for the lead, stil! I didn’t want to part with it under those circumstances. They finally captured me on the way t6 camp. They stopped on a high bluff over- looking the Tennessee river and went off on a raid leaving one soldier and a dog in charge of me. They headed me upin a barrel and left it standing near the edge of the bluff. By and by the the Spanish soldier went to sleep, avd I stuck my head out through the bung! ole. I whistied gently to the dog, and he came up to the barrel. 1 grabbed him by the tail, and he gave a jump, upsett:ng the barrel.gwhich rolled over the 500 ft. cliff and busted open as it struck ov a sharp rock be- low. I swam the Tennessee river three miles wide and just as I was crawling up the bank -the Spanish scldier flred sixteen bullets into me and I got away takipg his bullets with me.” Come and see the buck that the hero, Storey, mounted. After tuk- | jug. a full observation of Storey’s iiounting eat! at our piace and Weit- zel and his able assistant. J. Anthony, will show you the difference between mounting or stuffiug agimals and birds. Any d fool can stuff ar animal or fowl, or head, but vo prop- erly mount these specimens it re- quires more than mule sense. WM. WEITZEL, 2 BS ia AEE rr a ca a aes RES Re Lo ne SSE Ne ORE MRS ES MO ra SENTRA We Web LR EE St Seana lias SIGNS NEW CODE WITH EYES SHUT Gov. Join A. Johnson signed the hew code on sight. It isa mass of paper as big asa counting ledger and two feet thick. He knew what it was as soon as he saw it, bnt it was boldly marked H. F. 43, which is the legislative alias under which the revision has travel- ed. The governor signed it in the fresence of the three revisers who made the original draft of the re- vision, and who had assembled, in his office to witness the accomplish- ment of their four years’ work. Thesame noon bour that saw the signature of the code saw them go out of office under another Jaw which | the same governor signed a few days ago. The governor did not even look into the mass of Jaws, as he said a few minetes later; “The conimissioners had it four years and the legislature three months. They bad a chance to see whatisin it, and must take the re- | sponsibllity. Ihave only tbree days | andI could not learn what is in that bill in much more than that time. Itakeit on the judgwent,of the men who passed it.” Thus ends the game of :poiltical battledore and shuttlecock which has been in progress for weeks.” ‘The senate held the code back so that it could not possibly be submitted to the governor three days before the end of the session." Had it been, it would have become laws without his signature. In order that Johnson should put his pen, too, on the code, it was held back. The governor picked up the gauntlet where it was thrown, and promptly sent the the responsibility back to the senate, giving every one coneetned notice that the code was not in his hands long enough fer him to claim any credit or share any blame for it—St. | Paul. News. st } DEFECTIVE PAGE NEW THEORY OF MOTIVE The real cause of the Gannon tragedy at Beaudette is not one of recent brewing, nor is Matt Gannon | the only victim, say the Duluth Her- ald. The newspaper correspondents have placed the blame entirely upon Americans living on the Canadian side ofthe border are by no means guiltless—in fact, they are equally guilty with Americans, ‘To under- stand thoroughly the reasons that led up to the killing of Matt Gannon, one must know many of the insand outs of the life that exists on both side of the Rainy river. The great source of trouble 1s the Ameusican license laws. In the Unrted States all licensed liquor places must obtain two licenses, one from the federal government, an internal revenue’ hcense, and the other from the local state or county authorities, But all the places where liquor is sold in the border towns do not have the latter, the former they must have. Laxity prevailed in tration of the state license law in noithern regions of Minnesota, and tke inhabitants have taken advantage of it, On the Canadian side the liw is more rigorously enforced, and nothing but fully licensed hotels are allowed to operate, there being no such thing as a soloon. There are many mills and lumbering camps on the Canadian side of the Rainy river, and as there is a much better oppor- tunity of running the dives the men working in these places usually frequent on the American side. It is only natural that many such places have been started there and are catering to this traffic. In fact, every night swarms of men from the Canadian mills and camps cross thé river and engage in the ‘coarse revelry usual in such haunts. Under these circumstances it is only natural to suppose that many crimes. are committed and that no one can be found upon whom to place the guilt. It is stated by many who were in. the vincinity of Beaudette that the men who were responsible for the death of Gannon hailed from the Canadian side. It is known that Gannon was deeply hated by many of the lumberjacks working in the Canadian camps, aitd of this he was well aware, for he never dared cross the river into Canadran territory 2x- cept in broad daylight when the men were at work and there was very little danger. Many of the lumber- jacks had been held up on the Ameri- can side in some of the resortsfand Matt Gannon was ing a hand in the that may be, these cure from federal inteiference, have become hell-holes of immorality. Spooner and as a man Who is acquainted there remarked, ‘other houses.” Across the river from Emo 1s another place called Indus, made up entirely of saloon and “other places,” with special induce- ments to the lumberjacks of Canada. These are some of the social con- ditions along the border between Beaudette and International Falls, and the murder of Matt Gannoa mply tye resultof the system that prevails the adminis- which suspected of hav- affairs. places of vice, se- However consists only of saloons in that district.
