Base Ball Is Getting Bad. | An alleged game of base ball took place on the south side grounds last Sunday between the Dazzlers and Stars which resulted in the defeat of the Stars 8 to9. The score was the best part of the game as the errors amounted to about the same figures. This business of Dazziers and Stars is about the worst thing in a base ball way that has ever struck the town as both teams are sore at each other and the first team has no chance to strengthen their weak spots and until.they do they cannot win games with outside teams. The blame rests largely with tlfe- first team themselves as by their bucking tactics they have disgusted every- body that has attended games in the A radical change is necessary before ball playing can be expected in this town and from the looks of things a change is about due. ~The people attending games are beginning ‘vo demand that the management get weak pvints and beat Deer Riyer. There are enough and more good play- ers than would make up a first class team but they cannot get a chance to get on the team the way itis con- ducted.

An increase of about fifty per cent in the production of sron ore on the ranges in Northern Minnesota, mak- ing the total output for this year from 20,000,000 to 21,000,000 tons, is estimated by £. A Wilder, state Mine inspector, who returned yester- day from av inspection of the mines. Itis predicted that this increase will appear at the state mines and at the mines owned by private parties. The state last year shipped about 213,000 tons and it is estimated that the shipments this year will exceed 300,000. ‘Lhe income received by the state from its mines last year was $66,000 and this year it will be about $100,000. The total output of the mines last year was between 13,000,000 and 14,000,000 tons. The state has tive mines in opera- tion, the Grant, Yates, Oliver, Kranz and Poole. All of them are shipping increased quantities each month, The shipments a week before last amounted to 40,060 tons “This promises to be the banner year for the mining industry in Northeastern Minnesota,” said Mr. Wilder. ‘There is activity in every line. The mines are crowded to their utmost capacity. New railroads are being built and business is booming generally. he Duluth, Mesaba & Northern is double tracking its ‘line along the range. 5 “It seems that all trace of the labor difficulties in the early spring have disappeared. The employes as faras can be seen are contented. ‘They are getting good wages, and are not complaining of their condition.— Duluth Herald. The Deer River Shootfest. The yrand shoot so extensively advertised by the “Best Town on the Line” to take place on the 2ist and 22nd was attended by a goodly num- ber of sports along the line. , Duluth and Superior sent eight uf theirs which was all that could get up courage to face the wild untamed shots oftse Deer Riyer ciub. Four er five from here were there, Cass Lake sent a few and the renowned Guptill, winner of the 1904 grand American handicap, was also un- afraid. Tre reception committee, consist+ ing of the night watch and the depot agent, met the bunch at the midnight train and escorted them to the Mohr hotel where the freedom of the town was extended the shooters provided the price was forthcoming. Bright and early next morning the quiry went around as to where the grounds were and when the doings were to get under way. Nobody seemed to know anything about any- thing and all that the sports could ao was to keep on inquiring and nosing around for information, Finally the fact was dug up that the secretary of the club was away getting married and all the sports present threw up their hands as they expected that the absence of this important func- tionary would of course kill the Everybody wore a long face d up their expense ac- count, especially the boys from Dul- uth, and were all hoping from the bottom of their hearts that the afore- said secretary would have a pleasant honeymoon. It was finally announced that of the donations toward the purse promised, the sum of $51 was paid in, bat owing to the foggy weather this sum could not be located. Soon appeared those good sports, Girard and Morrisey, and by judicious hustl- ing raised the sum of $110, and amid the plaudits of the multitude the grand shoot started and was hustled along a Ja grand American style. This gave the Duluth boys an opportunity to play even which they jumped at and before night had annexed the aforesaid $110 and their faces began to take on the smile that won't come off, The Thursday events were passed and Deer River's first grand shoot passed into history and will long be remembered by all who attended. DEATH OF MRS. JOHN COSTELLO The Saddest Fatality That Ever Happened in Grand Rapids Was the Death of Mrs. John Costello Last Saturday Evening. The life of Mrs. John Costello was flashed out last Saturday evening about 10 o’clock when she received a fatal electric shock. The community was startled with the sad news as the word was passed throughout the community. In taking a 16 candle power electric light from the side hallway to the woodshed the fatal current passed through her body setting fire to her clotues. When the awful current was imparted te her hand she exclaimed “My God” and fell forward to her death. The 11 year old son of Mrs. Costello over- heard the exclamativu and immedia- tely ran to Mrs. Logan, the next door neighbor, but when Mrs. Logan ate rived life was extinct. It seems the wires from the transformer which furnished electricity to the block in which the Costello family lived had been out of order for some time but the management of the Light come fany had been notifled and tried to remedy the trouble, evidently without success. Services were held at St Joseph’s Catholic church at 9 o’clock, inter- ment at 2:30 The funeral was one of the largest ever witnessed ig Grand Rapids. Mrs. Costello was 45 years old at the time of her death. Her maiden name was Mulvihill ,she was married te Jobn Costello, in Arantrive, Ontario, Canada, 14 years ago. There are left to mourn her loss a husband, two sons aged 8 and 1], and a little daugh- ter aged 3. Mrs. Bridget Mulvihill, mother of Mrs. Costello, and sun Wii- liam arrived from Arontrive, Ontariy to attend the funeral. Gun Club Propositions. The Itasca Gun Club held an in- formal shoot on the McKinney Lake grounds Thursday evening 1n which ten shooters faced the traps. Frank Jackson of Duluth was the guest of henor, having stopped on his way home from the famous Deer River tournament. Creditable scores were made which, owing to the lack uf space we ure unable to give in full. Luther, Kremer and Jacksen carried off the honors. A tournament for Grand Rapids is talked of and if conditions are favor- able it will probably be held the last of July, at which time a large out of town attendance will be assured. as powder companies employing travel- ing salesmen. will have their repre- sentatives at Duluth about that time attending the Duluth shoot. All that we can ask of the local club is to try and do different than was done by the club of the “Best Town on the Line” at their recent touruament. Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Orscutt returned today from Minneapulis where they spent their honeymoon. They will start housekeeping in a few days and have the best wishes of their many triends. HUMOR BEFORE THE LECTURE, | Novel Manner in Which Eli Perkina “das Introduced to Audience. Colonel Dick Woods, editor of a paper in Mount Sterling, Ky., was a guest of a friend in Chicago a few days ago, and his presence recalled the manner in which the colonel in- troduced Eli Perkins to an audience in Mount Sterling. Perkins, whose real name is Mel- ville Landon, when doing stunts as a lecturer for a lyceum bureau, al- ways wanted some prominent citizen to introduce, him to the audience, not- withstanding that he was the sole at- traction and the only name on the program. Colonel Woods was not par- ticularly fond of Eli, but he was po- lite to, him, and Eli became very in- sistent that the newspaper editor. should present him. Eli stuck to the colonel, and at the proper time dragged him, reluctantly, We await in fear and treinbling the report of the explosion when Murry ‘Taylor gives the waiting world his account of the tournament and trust that be wiil not be sending out any more ch@ilenges to the shivering shooters of the northwest, in which he offers to shoot any team of six web for any sum up to $300. upon the platform. The editor stood for a moment, awkwardly ‘ooking over the audience, as if secking = loophole of escape, and then, address- ing an ecquaintance, he sald: “Judge Rogers, let me introduce. you to Mr. Perkins. “Squire Johnson, shake hands with Mr. Perkins. : “Major Williams, Mr. Perkins. “Aunt Sally Goodrich, this is Mr. Chas.
