at Duluth on Sunday last, and on
Monday started tor V. Roy's trad
ing post at Vermllion Lake, of which
the groom is the manager, going in
canoe by way of the long ST.
Louis river route. Bon voyage up
that river, as well as down the riv-
er Of life is our wish for the happy
couple.
-Philbrook's new building is up
and enclosed, the smoke stack points
straight for heaven, and the buzz of
the saw, the hiss of the steam and
tho shout of the sawyer will soon be
heard, each trying to drown the
other. Mr.. Philbrook deserves the
greatest of credit for his remarkable
energy in pushing ahead as he has
done.
The Uppertown school, Judge
Gates teacher, is expected to open
for the fall and winter term the first
week in October. How one or
more schools can be maintained in
lowcrtown, in view Of the present
depleted school treasury, is the
problem the school board and peo-
pie are now wrestling with.
Louis Wabono, an Indian who
went to the war as a substitute for
some gallant drafted Superior, man,
fell under the cars at the Junction
on Thursday and the wheels passed
over his right arm and left hand,
injuring them so that DR.. McCor-
mick, of Duluth, amputated the arm
just below the elbow and the fingers
of the hand. Whiskey was to
blame.
-Morrisette and Gouge who took
the contract to put new stills under
j. D. Towards store building here,
found the structure a little weak in
the underpinning, so much so that
they were afraid at one time that it
would not stand alone in fact the
building showed q decided tendency
to reach over and lean upon Capt.
Edwards domlcil, leaning that
the good natured Capt. anything
but relished. 1t is propped up now
and will probably be made to keep
its place in the ranks.
The Minnesota State Fair, held
at Minneapolis last week, which we
had the pleasure of attending, was
a magnificent success in every re-
spect. The display Of home manu-
featured articles and goods was
large, varied and attractive; the
agricultural show, though not exten-
sive, was exceptionally fine; while
the exhibit of cattle, horses, sheep,
hogs, poultry, etc., was perhaps the
largest and best ever seen in the
State. Col. Kings celebrated Lynn
dale herd, and some noble animals
from the stock farm of Geo. III.
Smith, Supt. OF the St. Paul & Du-
luth railroad, attracted special at
tention. Peter Davy, Of Ashpun,
Wis, had on exhibition a lot of
Scotch Galloway cattle = small,
stocky, muley-headed animals, with
coats as black and shaggy as a
bear's-which looked as if their
hardy nature was just suited to this
northern country. The races were
notable feature, and we'll con-
Quoted. The members of the Army
of the Tennessee were on the
grounds one day, land as. such celcbri-
ties as Gen. Belknap and Bill king
were among them, of course the so
ciety was a special attraction. The
attendance of people was greater
than at any previous fair, the num-
Der on Thursday being estimated as
high as 10000. On the whole the
fair was a grand success, and dem
onstrated in a practical manner the
wonderful growth, resources and
prosperity of this northern country.
