Hotel" building and converted it into
sleeping apartments, not having &c
commodations in his new house, the
European Hotel, for all his board
ers and trancient customers.
Mr.. Henry Crawford and family,
who left here few weeks ago and
took up their residence at Island Lake
Mimi, have returned, and will be
content to make Superior their home.
The TIMES welcomes them back.
From Second street to tenth the
Military road is being brushed, ditch
ed and graded, preparatory to the lay
ing Of good broad sidewalk The
appearance Of all the streets thus
treated have been greatly improved.
Last week Esquire Richie picked
from bushes on his farm near town,
forty-five bushels Of luscious currants.
They sold readily at So per bushel,
which gave him a handsome little sum
Of money for a small amount Of labor.
We think it would be to the credit
Of the town if the police would enforce
little better order at public enter
tainments. A little less noise on the
back seats, would be appreciated by
the rest Of the audience.
1t seems that Mr.. James Bardon
of this city, fell into the clutches Of &
st. Paul Dispatch reporter, the other
day, and had to endure the infection
Of an interview" the result Of which
will be found in another column.
Bishop Flasch, Of the diocese Of
La Crosse, assisted by Rev'd Fathers
Servatious, Cassimer, Oderick and AL
phonso, administered the rites of con-
frmation to fifty-two persons at the
Catholic church in this city last Sun
day.
The n. P. folks are organizing
Il grand excursion from st. Paul to
Billings, Montana. The excursionists
will leave st. Paul September 9Th, at
7 P. NJ, and be absent six days. Tick
cts for the round trip, S45, including
berths in the sleeping cars.
During the thunder storm last
Monday, the lightning struck and ut
terly demolished the tall pine tree
which has so long stood between See
ond and Third streets near the Mid
dletown school house. 1t was a dead,
blackened old thing, and ought to
have been removed a long time ago.
And still they come. Hereafter
Osccola and Hodge, Of the Ward Buff
falo line Of steamers will make regu-
lar trips in to Superior harbor, much
to the chagrin Of our neighbors over
the bay, who have done all they could
to prevent this arrangement. Yes,
things are working all right.
As an evidence that the con-
struction company have got the n. p.
road bed in pretty good condition be-
tween Superior and the Junction, we
would mention that train was run
over this piece Of road last Wodnes-
day morning Just after a two days rain
in 40 minutes, The distance being %
miles, which is making pretty good
time for a new road.
Mr.. J. Bond Jr., starts to-day for
a business trip to St, Paul, and Chica-
90. He goes in the interest Of our
Board Of Trade, and will establish
correspondence bureaus and set in mo-
ton the business wheels Of Superior,
in those cities. He IS a good man for
/ the mission, and we trust anticipated
results will be realized. He viii be
absent two or three weeks.
If any Of our people wish to at
tend the Northwestern exposition-or
Bill Kings show-to come of at MIN
neapolis in September, commencing
on the 4th and lasting five days, they
can get there at about half fare by
patronizing the n. P. Railroad. 1t is
expected that President Arthur will
be on exhibition at least one day of
the five. The sale Of tickets will com
mence Sept 4th and be good for six
days.
Our reporter hands US this item,
which viii 10 doubt get him into
trouble. A whole wagon load of
colossal females came very near being
shot by some careless youths, while
out on the Mine road picking berries
last week. IF it hadn't been for their
extraordinary throat and lung devel-
opments, the whole party would I'M
doubtedly have been annihilated. The
boys at first thought (and don't deny)
that they had struck a herd of dear.
Mr.. A. L. Lord and Mr.. J. Doug
las have formed co-partnership for
the purpose of carrying on the meat
