work, under the immediate super
vision of the Captain. The schooner
is engaged most of the time In
making trips between "Stuntz's
Hiil," on the Nemadji, and the city
of Duluth, calling at intermediate
points whenever business warrants.
The most agreeable of all COM
panions is simple frank man, with
out any high pretentions to an OPP
pressive greatness; one who loves
life and understands the use of it;
obliging alike at all hours; above all
of a golden temper, and steadfast
as an anchor. For such a one we
gladly exchange the genius, the
most brilliant wit, the profoundest
thinker.
Mrs. Foster, the wife of Mr..
Ed. Ell. Foster, late editor of the
Minnesotian-Herald, died in Duluth
on Thursday last. Mrs. Foster was
an invalid for several years, and
her death, for several months past,
seemed to be only question of
time. Mr.. Foster has the SYM
pathy of large circle of friends in
his bereavement.
A hidden cabin has been dis
covered in the Black Hills which
appears to have been occupied 20
years or so ago. A sluice box was
recently unearthed 20 feet under
ground and the bones of undoubted
prospectors have been found at va
rious points in the Hills. Many ev-
ldences have been discovered going
to show that the Hills have been
prospected years ago by those who
paid for their venturesome spirit
with their lives; the Indians I'M
doubtedly made clean work of it
and none escaped to tell the tale.
Those thoughtful girls of St.
Croix Falls have oiled the gate
hinges, and fixed the latches, so
that the gates, at least will stand
good deal Of pressure without
quealing.-Stillaoater Luna6ermam
We always understood they didn't
have any gates up there, and that
when a St. Croix girl wanted any
thing in or ont Of an enclosure, she
always 'jumped the fence" -,Supe-
rtor Times.
All this fuss is over an innocent
little item of ours, published in the
Press some time ago, about the good
natured girls of St. Croix Fails
(bless them), oiling their gate hinges,
so that they would not disturb their
parents, who retire early, when they,
the girls,-comc home from choir
meetings. We will bet new silver
dollar, that if the editor of the
TINES saw certain st. Croix Falls
girl inside of fence ten feet high,
he would Jump it'' without wink
ing. Now you let the st. Croix
Falls girls alone hereafter.-RoM
County Press.
Gosh
We see by our foreign ex-
changes that a Russian agent will
soon arrive in this country to pur-
chase one hundred vessels and en-
gage as many captains. AS we are
friendly to Russia, and desire to see
that naughty power equipped with
a navy such as will make old Brit
ain quake in her boots, if we can
by any means communicate with
that agent on his arrival at Halifax,
we will urge him in strong language
to not fool away much of his valu-
able time in Portland, Boston, New
York. Chester or Norfolk. but to
come right up to Superior and Du-
luth where vessels and captains
that will honor the Cars service
may be readily found. How Eng
land would haul in her horns if she
saw fling'through the British Chan
mel, bound for St. Petersburg,
bands playing and colors fly
ing, fleet of such noble crafts as
the steamers Stillman Witt.
