The Superior times. [volume] (Superior, Wis.) 1870-1912, 1882-09-09
-Om public schools will omen fol

business one week from next Monday,
the 18th inst, SO the young idea can
begin to look up the school books,
states, old paper wads, &C., while the
teachers are laying in fresh supply
Of rubber rulers and switches.
Mrs. Ross and family left us this
week to Join her husband at Peters
boro, Ont, where he is engaged in
railroad constructing. Mrs. Ross has
made many warm friends during her
sojourn in Superior, who will part
with her with regret, while wishing
her much happiness in her new home
across the line.
The TIMES acknowledges a pleas
ant call this week from Mr.. Jas. Kas-
son, of Woodstock, Ills, or we might
say, of Superior, as he says he looks
upon this place as his home, although
not yet ready to move here, but ex-
poets to do 50 ere long. He is a pleas
ant, genial gentleman and it such as
he we want here.
The subject of discourse by the
Rev. J. w. Hageman on Sunday eve
ming, the 10th inst, will be "F'ire y
physical fire-it's nature, its destruc-
tive and reconstructive qualities, COM
bustion in vegetable and animal
life, the universally Of explosive mat
ter in the composition of the earth; all
pointing to the last great confagration.
Services commence at 7:30 P. NJ.
The commissioners appointed by
the government to examine and re-
port upon all work done by the n. ?.
Construction company before it is ac
cepted, visited Superior this week and
inspected the road from here to the
Junction, Connor's Point, the bridge
and the dock. Where so good work
has been done of course their report
can only be favorable.
The Wisconsin Division of the
Northern Pacific road has at last been
turned over to the operating depart
ment by the construction company.
Mr.. j. hurry is the new General Su-
perintendent of affairs. and will have
his headquarters at Superior. He
seems to be a gentleman of wisdom
and experience, and we may reasona-
bly, expect a well and judiciously re-
gulated railroad.
Rev. J. w. Hageman of the
Presbyterian church will commence
series of scientific lectures at that
church tomorrow evening. Subject
Fire" Mr.. H. is an able, logical
speaker, and these lectures will I'M
doubtedly be very interesting while
they will at the same time be instruc-
tive The hour for commencing the
service is 7:30. The next subject will
be announced next week.
"A large number of our people
visited the great Fair at Minneapolis
this week, and but few have returned
at the hour Of going to press, but
those that have pronounce the affair
a success and the display as fine as
any they ever saw, and feel well re-
paid for their trip. Bill King is evil
IDENTIFY born Snowman, and he ought
to organize a circus company at once.
He wisely concluded not to repeat the
balloon farce this year.
Last Tuesday John Mitchell,
working at the mills on Corners Point
made complaint and caused the ar
rest in behalf Of the State, of COM
rade named John Mckenzie, on the
charge of having robbed the plaintiff
$251.50. The accused was lodged in
our jail and the hour of examination
set for Thursday morning, but when
the case was called the state, for lack
of witnesses was not ready, and the
prisoner was discharged.
We call the special attention of
our readers to the advertisement of
Mr.. J. w. Murphy, in to-day's paper.
Mr.. Murphy has very fine line of
goods and aims to keep nothing but
the best in its line. He buys for cash
and sells fer cash, and, by so do
ing can sell cheaper than by any other
system, and in fact he declares he will
not be undersold by any house at the
head of the lake. Goods delivered to
any part of the city free of charge.
We don't know whether the
prisoner was guilty or not, but why
was the state not ready for trial? 1t
has the look of compromising a felony,
and the people are called upon to foot
the bills. We understand that 5000
of the money had been recovered
through some agency, before the prs
oner was set at liberty. There is too
much of this kind of business going on
to be treated so lightly. If the man
