ANOTHER CONQUEST.-AnOther Of Norwak's
tairest daughters has been conquered and
borne off by one Of those outsiders who seem
to take delight in being born and brought up
in some less favored portion of the country,
and then in swoOping down upon our choicest
young ladies and carrying them off in
spite Of us. Last night the residence of Ed
win A. Brown, ESQ, No. 81 West Main Street
was crowded with fair ladies and brave
men," TO witness the marriage of his daughter
Fannie and Mr.. Geo. NJ. Smith, of Duluth,
Mimi. Everything passed off without jar,
and at the proper time the ceremony was
performed BY Rev H. NJ Bacon, pastor of
Westminster Church, Toledo, and Fannie
Brown became Fannie Smith, and George
Smith gained lovely bride and a true wo-
man. The blessings of many friends follow
them to their far of, home
1t will thus be seen that our friend
George has at last ''done gone and
done it." and though we very much
regret to lose from the ranks Of
bachelordom so lively and worthy a
representative as George has been,
we still cannot refrain from exclaim-
ing, ''Wel done, good and faithful
servant" and join with his many
friends in Superior and Duluth in
wishing himself and fair bride a
pleasant and propitious voyage
through life. The happy couple
are expected to arrive at Duluth
Friday morning.

In the Norwalk Daily Reflector,
which contained tie notice of
George VI. Smiths marriage, we
find the following squib, it, OF
course, having.no reference to orr
"Jawge"::
George was long engaged to be
married but was financially unable
to call in the minister. His Aft
anced wanted the affair brought to
a finale, but George kept putting
her off with promises, saying he
was not able to marry, ETC., etc.
Finally she said: "Deah Gaug, |
am wiling to marry you, If We
have to live en- bread and water"
"W ell, WELL" cried. George, in des-
peration, you furnish the bread
and I'll try and skirmish around
and hunt up enough water"

be proud, and we have a wrangle with our
little neighbor
We will tell you why, Judge
at least why you should've wrangle
with us on. the subject which has
been under discussions: Because
you very well know that TIN more
you wrangle, the more you will get
worsted; because, also, you are per-
fectlv we'll aware that Your cham
pionship Of the subject has been
very unpopular with the citizens Of
Duluth, who have cursed you unspar-
ingly for your stupidity in taking up
the discussion of a question which
could but result in injury to Duluth,
and which they had much rather
should remain buried in oblivion.
Thus, you. see, there are two very
good reasons why you shouldn't
vrangle with your "little neighbor,"
and which also explain why you are
SO very anxious to drop the discus
sion Of this question.

u. S. Senators, Congressman

Do -. OenatOTS, congressman
and sssich, Pin these days Of citation
in office, Pare becoming very plenti-
full, butstin we do not see so many Of
them up in this hyperborean region,
where we have not yet attained
unto sufficient political Importance
to be of much account, but what a
"real, live Senator''-one who, has
trodden the halls made famous by
Webster, Clay and Calhoun,-is
quite a curiosity, and whose ac-
auaintance is worth cultivatino
Hence, we were very much pleased,
while in Duluth on Tuesday last, to
make the acquaintance Of Senator
Window, of Winona, Mimi, who
represents our sister State In the y.
S. Senate, and who we found to be
very pleasant and affable gentleman
though, like all politi-beg par don,
statesmen, we mean-on cam
aign-speech-making tour, be may
have had on his ''company" man
ners. Having seen great deal III
the newspapers about the wicked
ness Of them Senators-hoW they
are prone to wander and muchly
given to stealing, bribery and sal
airy grabbing, we felt a little shy Of
the Senator at first, and hung pretty
tight on to our pocket-book, CON
tanning three or four beautiful, vel
low faced Douglas County orders,
worth forty cents on the dollar, toF
fear he might be seized with one of
those "grabbing" desires, and en-
deavor to obtain some of Superior's
only "circulating medium" but as
he seemed 10 be more Interested In
noticing the "silver tire ads among
the gold in Bro. Mitchel's brain
covering, we concluded our orders
were safe and breathed easier; then,
when we reflected on how as he is
Republican, and that if he wasn't
call square" such conscientious and
pure-minded gentlemen as friend
Mitchell, Doc. Smith, "Boss" Feller
and Edgar Markell wouldn't be
hobnobbing with him, we felt very
much ashamed Of our base suspic-
ions and concluded that those
wicked newspapers had been lying,
and. that the Senator is without
guile.
Senator w. is a fine looking gen
tieman, of medium stature, slightly
inclined to corpulancy, dark com
pleXion, mild and luminous eyes, side
whiskerS, possesses fine voice,
wears good clothes, as a L. S. Sen
ator ought, and looks u little like
Geo. Holcomb, only that he is a
good deal better looking, which is
rough on George.
Tuesday evening, at the Dramatic
Temple, before a large audience,
Senator Window delivered the
finest campaign speech it was ever
our fortune TO listen to.
