The True Spirit OfIndependence
in journalism.


AS government is constituted polit.
zeal parties must control legislation.
Newspapers naturally become their
opponents. But the journalist who
permits politicians to decide his course
may satisfy them, but in the main will
be likely to dissatisfy the community.
In shaping his actions the capable
journalist will aim TO be Just, and
labor to promote the interests Of the
greatest number. His real constitu.
ents, TO employ an apt term, are not
the men who live by politics, but the
great majority, composed of all classes
whose interest in politics centers in
obtaining wholesome government, and
to whom partisan contests brings nc
reward. His duty is, not to any class
but to the whole people, and hls sue
cess will be measured by the degree
OF efficiency and conscientiousnesi
brought to bear in the performance o.
that duty.
Independence in journalism doel
not require disregard Of party lines OF
party obligations. The true mission
of the journalist is to do that which
he believes TO be right, and eschev
that which he deems wrong or impo
litic, in connection with all matters
He can do this as consistently within
as without the party lines. Thu
journalist who can not remain the
keeper OF his own conscience and the
owner Of his own mind as the conduc
tor Of a party Journal, will hardl,

Elgin, Ill, special: The jury in the
case of Mrs. Thomas Naughten, ofthis
town, Va. Robert Beckwith, Henry
Tetzner, Joseph Treller, Bernard
Hagelow, Henry Holthusen, Girls Lay
and John Buckrice, on trial in the
Kane county circuit court during the
past ten days, to-day returned a YER
dict for vlaintif' for S2,SO4. The de-
PENDANTS, excepting the first named,
are Elgin saloon-keepers, paying $500
year for the privilege Of selling in
toxicants and keeping respectable
places. Beckwith is the owner Of the
building where Tetzncr's saloon is To-
Gated, the latter and his bond being
deemed execution proof. Thomas
Naughten, plaintiffs husband, was a
dissipated man, who, last September
while attempting to board train
while intoxicated, fell under the wheels
and was killed. The widow brought
suit under the statute, claiming s1O,-
900 damages against fifteen saloon
keepers who had sold him liquor, but
was nonsuited except as to those nam
ed. The case Is the first Of the kind
occurring here, and excited much in
terest. Defendants will appeal from
the decision and carry the suit higher.
The jury was unanimous as to liability
but labored for four hours on the
amount Of the judgement. The sum
fixed on was compromise.

a Hard Pressed Poet.

George H. Baker tells this story
about Poe.
One day was sitting at a booksel-
ler's who also published a serial, when
Poe came in. If shabby, he was gem
orally genteel and had the inherent
look Of the world, out of place and os-
tracised, yet with a compromising
pride in his sense of finer intellect.
After some little while he said to the
publisher:
Lend me ten dollars"
81 can't do il"
He was already in debt to his friend
hundred or two.
Lend me five, them" said Poe.
Il can't do it, Poe. | have made
up my mind not to lend any more"
"Well, said Poe, will you give me
ten dollars for a poem?"
eyes, | will be glad to do that. .
Poe sat down and almost without hest
tation wrote sonnet, exquisite in its
wording, tender in its feeling He
handed it over to the publisher, whc
paid him his money.

Her Location and Surround
ings.
Natural HAaBOR Advantages.
Mineral Wealth, Unsurpassed Lum
bering Facilities and Agricul-
tural Resources.

Since our connection with the TINES we
haye daily received letters Of inquiry re-
garding Superior and her resources and
prospects. We desire to answer all inquir-
ers, but to do SO separately by letter would
require all Of our time or demand the en-
ployment of special correspondent, and
then it would be incompletcly done. To
meet the desires Of all, therefore, we have
compiled, from such statistics as are avail
able, brief sketch or history Of the city
and its surroundings The reader is no
doubt aware that the idea of building city
here is not a new one. but that from various
causes its development has been retarded
The obstacles which have heretofore opcr-
ated against the town have finally been re-
moved, however, and It's day Of prosperity
is now at hand Heretofore we have never
had an inland outlet; now we have the
Northern Pacific railroad stretching away
to the plains OF the west and in a few
months will have the Chicago, ST. Paul,
Minneapolis 4 Omaha road giving US direct
communication with Chicago to the east
and all the greet and fertile region lying to
the South and Southwest in an unbroken
chain through Southern Dakota. Nebraska
&c. As an evidence Of present prosperity
it is only necessary to say that Within the
past six months $1,000 have been ex.
pended here in new buildings and local i'm
provements not including the railroad build
ing. The \. p. Company IS building a
large and very substantial dock and the
city is repairing and charging two others.
The large hotel known as the Superior
House, containing about one hundred
rooms, has been reftted and furnished and
opened to the public; q new $59,0 hotel
to be built BY the n. p. Company will be
erected during the season and also at least
one million bushel elevator coal docks, &C.
The only National bank at the head OF the
lake is here, and new business and dwelling
houses are springing up daily as il by
magic. Superior is the county seat Of
Douglas County, and we have an excellent
Court House, three good school houses and
three schools in operation, three good
church buildings and another to be built
this season, all of which is given as the best
of evidence that Superior is soon to occu
Ply that position in the great commercial
circles nature has intended she should
occupy.
Much of the matter given below has Of
course been given to the public before in
one form or another but being Interesting
to those who would "llnow all about us"
and thoroughly reliable we compile it in
its present form to the better and more OK
phcitly answer the many questions pro
pounded to Us.

On Saturday last Mr.. John Biltz
was digging in well for Mr.. Eugene
White, when two-years old colt, in
attempting to leap across the top, fell
into the we'll and onto Mr.. BiltZ. The
we'll was about twenty feet deep. Mr..
Riltz was considerably bruised, but
not so bad as he might have been un-
der the circumstances. He succeeded
in getting out without receiving any
broken bones. The colt was not bro't
out alive. In its struggles it caused
the dirt to cave in until it was nearly
covered, only its head and neck being
free. The pressure soon put an end to
its life. It seems some horses in the
same field with the colt chased it and
caus ID it to take the fatal leap.
Mrs. Libbie Conrad lost, the past
week, valuable horse. The animal
ran against some sharp pointed object,
cutting severe cash in it's body, from
which it died.
Mr.. Adam Shultz, in the south part
of the township. also lost valuable
horse from some peculiar disease. 1t
is said the animal held its head high
and would walk over or against every =
thing that came in its way.
