The Board of Sunervisors have

erWlse improving the same, to Mr. l.
G. Palmer, for S3,100. Mr. c. Blink
erhoff, who drew the plans will have
charge Of the work The repairs are
to be made at once.
Mr.. Vincent Cournoyer and fam
lily, arrived from Bayfield, this week,
and intends to stay with us. Mr..
Cournoyer has been filing the posi-
ton Of Interpreter and clerk for the
!. S. Agents for this district for sew
eral years. He will engage in trade on
his own account at Superior, soon.
-Messrs. c. & w. Ring brought in
a car load of COWS last week, and will
furnish all who desire it, with nice
fresh milk. They have sixteen fine
cows, will start their milk wagon on
It's rounds about the first of the com
ing week. They will thus supply
long felt want, and we wish them
success.
The abutments for the \. P. rail
road bridge across the Nemadji, on
the west side Of the river, were COM
pleted last Tuesday, and the workmen
are now busy building the Golfer dam
on the east side. 1t will be but short
time until this great transcontinental
road can push its way onward toward
the Atlantic.
Surveyors are at work running
over the old lines and plating new
grounds in Uppertown. Our neigh
bors up that way have got tired of
seeing men leave this side of the bay
just because they could not buy real
estate enough to put their feet upon,
and propose to accommodate all such
IN the future.
We neglected to mention a pleas
ant visit paid us last week by Mr.
Thomas Dunsmore, the leading bust
ness man Of the wide-awake town Of
Moose Lake, MINI. lie reports things
in a Ilourishing condition down that
way, vet we think he has strong
"hankering" for Superior Come right
along, Mr.. D.
Mr.. Neill and family of Philadel-
phia, arrived here this week, and now
occupy their neat and connections
dwelling on St. Johns Avenus They
will spend the warm summer months
IN the bracing atmosphere Of Super
Tor Mr.. NELL IS an old resident of
our city, and his old friends here ex-
tend to him Il hearty welcome back.
Mr.. c. NJ. Butt, State agent for
the adjustment Of the Air Line claims,
with his assistants, Mr.. n. McNil and
Mr. H. Casson, were in town last
Wednesday as per announcement, tax
ing evidence in those. cases. From
here they go to Duluth and thence to
St. Paul. He will complete his labors
next week, probably, and the anxious
claimants viii soon get their pay.
Last Sunday evening Louis KauI-
fuss, a young man Of nineteen years
living in La Crosse, came home drunk
and his parents talked to him about
his evil ways. He replied angrily, and
after sitting by the fire a few moments
he rose, said Good bye, mother"
placed revolver to his head and fred
the ball entering the skull. The
young man fingered till morning, but
was unconscious.
We do not take any credit for
il to ourself. but we notice since the
last issue Of TIMES work has been com
menccd on our streets, and we have
been privately informed that the side
walks are to be put in good repair just
as soon as lumber for that purpose
can be got. All right, gentlemen Of
the Board, we only feared you had
forgotten your promises and thought
we would jog your memory little.
Once more we are requested to
call the attention Of our town authori-
ties to the fact that the remains Of
four or five dead horses remain I'M
buried on the banks Of the Nemadji,
near The Air Line buildings. The
stencil arising from these decompos-
ing carcasses IS very offensive, to say
nothing Of the pestilence they as sure
" breed This matter should be at
tended to at once before our people
are stricken with some terrible disease.
Since the consolidation Of the
Superior Il Iron Company and the
Northwestern Fuel Company, which
went into effect a few days ago, we
have had to look to Duluth direct for
our fuel supply, as under that arrange
ment our dealer, Mr.. Geo. NJ. Smith,
IS temporarily shelvcd. It is to be
hoped that we shall not much longer
have to pay tribute-about $50 per
ccnt.-to our neighbors across the Dor
dars for this item Of fuel.
Mr.. James Edwards, a former
Superiorite but now Of Ipara, H., has
returned to Superior and viii at least
spend the summer here, and by that
time will probably be ready to move
his family back. Mr. Edwards has
considerable real estate here which he
will put in the market, and those de-
string to buy might do well to consult
him. He made US a pleasant call one
day last week, and like the sensible
man that he is, renewed his subscrip-
ton to the TINES.
Brother c. s. Duglas, of the En-
erson { Manitoba) international and
former publisher Of TIMES, was visit
ing his old Superior friends this week,
We have been reading the Interna-
tional for some months, but never
dreamed that lis editor was our old
