The Superior times. [volume] (Superior, Wis.) 1870-1912, 1878-06-08

something to transmit sound and
catch an ordinary conversation.
Sam. Fifield writes us privately
that it is big thing; that he saw
one at Mr.. Snyder's beer store, in
Milwaukee the other day. The day
is not far distant when they will be
found in every household.
Hon. Scargal Wakelin, promi-
nent capalist of Duluth, has been
induced to embark in the milling
enterprise at Minneapolis. He and
Ex-Governor Washburn will erect
mammoth structure with one
hundred run of stone, the Governor
putting into the new concern
ninety-eight run, saved from the
mills lately destroyed. One ofthenew
buildings will be styled the Wakelin
& Washburn Helevator Ha.
"A dispatch from Madison says :
A commission has just been
issued to DR.. Edwin Ellis as county
judge of Ashland county vice John
W. Bell who failed to qualify.
"Old Whackem," as Judge Bell
is Familiarity called, ought to be old
enough to know enough to come in
out of the rain, especially when it is
wet. No man in Ashland county
would make a better Judge than
DR.. Ellis.
What Superior now needs
worse than any other enterprise is a
first class shooting gallery. IF some
wealthy capitalist could be induced
to come here and start one, and not
charge over FIVE cents for three
shots, We will guarantee to get him
the whole Coddington block for
one dollar month, and agree to
give him our trade and do what we
can to get him outside business.
Those thoughtful girls of St.
Croix Falls have oiled the gate
hinges, and fixed the latches, so that
the gates. at least, will stand a good
deal of pressure without squealing.
-Stillaodter Latns6erna0n.
We always understood they
didn't have any gates up there, and
that when a St. Croix girl wanted
anything in or out of an enclosure,
she always Bumped the fence"

-Ex-Alderman Seacrist, of Du-
luth, was in town Tuesday, and pur-
chased a blooded horse of Mr..
Schuster. Mr.. Seacrist returned to
our city on Wednesday to talk horse
and succeeded in closing trade for
a very fine animal he had, with one
of our citizens. We are not ce1-
tain whether the sum paid was forty
dollars or four hundred dollars; but
we will call it the latter amount SO
as to be on the right side, though
we think we are wrong.
Little Falls Banner: Hon. Pc
ter Roy and other leading Germans
will speak at Rich Prairie on the
4th inst.
The above named gentleman is a
brother of Col. Vincent Roy, Presi-
dent of the Volkeszeitung Schutzen-
fest, of this city. We will forgive
the Col. for coaxing us off to Snug
glewolloppers brewery, in St. Paul,
the other day, if he will only con-
sent to address his fellow German
citizens of this place, in their own
language, at no distant day.
Hank Osceola Fifeld of the
Polk County Press, speaking of his
new fence, says: Hon. Ole Larson,
county judge, is now preparing to
put two coats OF paint on it.
Ex-Judge Ole Jim. Madison Davi-
son,of Ashland, is the man you ought
to have secured for that, Hank, me
boy. Did your judge ever paint
much? Our Judge is the man who
has travelled all over the United
States and painted on the fences
about Tarrants Effervescent Verim-
fuge and Cockroach Exterminator,
Rising Sun Stove Polish Invigora-
tor, Purgatlve Pill business, etc.
What in thunder did your Judge
ever do, anyhow?
Some of our religious cotem-
poraries want US to meet IngersolI
in debate. We have no time now
to tackle Bob. in theological dis
cussion, as we are busy telpinp
around the new circus and riding the
trick mule to water. We have our
bread to earn and want to see the
circus all we can; but as soon as we
are through that, land finished gather
ing ashes around town for our wjfe's
