last Thursday afternoon to Mr.. Q. {.
Hicks, Of River Falls, this State. The
addition will be 36x48 feet, and it
was decided to attach it to the rear of
the present structure and thus retain
the nice grounds in front of the build
ing, which we think is a very sensible
conclusion to arrive at. a row OF
shade trees around the grounds would
also add much to the general appear
ance of the structure and grounds.
The improvements to be completed
within two months.
In casting about for site for
county poor house, our supervisors
have discovered that the public square
in Middletown was dedica ted for
Douglas County Public Buildings"
and they seriously contemplate erect
ing the poor house there. The loca
ton is central, the ground costs moth
ing, and we don't see that better can
be done than to build there. A neat
building, well kept, would be an ad-
vantage to property in this vicinity.
AS we understand it, there is nearly
enough money on hand from liquor IL
censes to say for a good building.
Mr.. w. II. Kiltin, our excellent
baker, has got moved into his new
building on Second street, and is now
ready to receive his customers there.
In addition to his regular bakery bus
mess he has put in very &ne line Of
groceries, canned fruits, tobacco, eli
CARS DC, in one part, and another
room he has fitted up in a tasty manner
for an ice cream parlor where you can
take your lady and enjoy this luxury.
Mr., Hilton is full of business enter
prise and we trust his business will
prove as profitable to him as he could
desire. See his card in this paper,
and call in and try his ice cream.
Mr. J. P. Flynn agent for the Lake
Superior line Of Steamers informs us
that the owners propose to run their
boats into Superior this season, provi-
ded the channel was clear. All clear,
gentlemen. The channel has been
staked ont, and sounded by Mr.. How
enstin who says that the largest boat
will have no difficulty in getting into
Superior, In a few weeks the new city
dock Will be finished when a boat can
tie up in good shape, and be safe from
the terrific winds and waves which
wreck SO many vessels in the harbor
across the bay.
Attention is called to the card of
Miller Sproat & Miller, Of Duluth, in
another column. These gentlemen
have opened a very large and elegant
stock Of crockery, lamps, glassware,
silyerware woodenware etc. Call and

years has been connected with the

a successful business.
As we go to press, We learn that
one of the painters at work on the Sill
bersteine Il Bondy building met with
a serious accident. The scaffold on
which he was standing gave way, pre-
cipating him and another workman
to the ground below, a distance Of
about twenty-five feet. He struck the
ground in a sitting position, and a fall
ing timber broke the left arm above
the elbow. He was picked up in an
unconscious condition, and carried to
his home and Dir. Gauverau called
The doctor thinks he has received no
more serious injury than the broken
arm. His name is George Bergman,
and has a wife and two or three small
children. The other man was not at
all hurt, but well shook up, like.
