A Chicago dispatch of the 3Oth, ult.
says: During the rise in Chicago &
Omaha stock it was rumored that
the Northwestern was buying for con-
troll. The officers of the road denied
this. 1t is now learned that the chief
purchaser was VIM. III. Vanderbilt.
and the supposition is he has secured
dominating interest, which is prac-
tically the same as if the Northwestern
bought it, as Vanderbilt has a leading
interest in Northwestern. This move
taken will prevent the Milwaukee &
st. Paul from buying this road.
Speaking of the Chippewa Valley &
Superior road, a road which, when
built, as it will be at no distant dav,
will be of vast advantage to Superior,
the Milwaukee Sentinel says: Presi-
dent j. c. Easton of the Chippewa
Valley q Superior road, is in the city,
and says that negotiations are now
pending with the Chicago, Milwaukee
u St. Paul Co. for the formal transfer
of his road to that corporation. At
present the Chippewa Valley road is
run in conjunction with the st. Paul's
La Crosse, River and Dubuque divis-
ions, and constitutes splendid lum-
Der line in connection with these sew
eral divisions. The principal owners
of the Chippewa Valley are J. c.
Cary, John Johnston and J. G.. Easton,
all of whom are intimately associated
with the ST. Paul company. Their
enterprise is, however, Independent of
the company at present.
The Wisconsin division of the
Northern Pacific will be turned over
to the operating department Septem-
Der LIST, and the Yellowstone division,
from Forsyth to Billings, September
10Th. Distances, station names and
schedules will be furnished at the
earliest practicable moment.

"A special dispatch from Sonora,
Mexico, say that A. C. Hesing, Of
Chicago, known as Boss Hesing, was
murdered be the Apaches on the
rancho Gabelon, Sonora. Another re-
port says he was murdered by his SER
want, robbery being the object, as he
had $4,000 with which to pay his
men.

OLD WORLD HORRORS!
Frightful Hutcherfes.

CALCUTTA, Aug. 2S.-Fearful rioting be-
tween Hindoos and Mohammedans occurred
at Salem. Three Mohammedans have
been arrested. An eye witness of the dis.
orders says he saw the disemboweled body
OF Mohammedan infant lying on the
ground, its arms also torn off. Headless
corpses of Mohammedan men and women
were lying on every side. The houses of
Mohammedans were burned and their prin-
clpal mosque almost RACED to the ground.
Dead pigs have been throwed into wells
with the corpses Of Mohammedan children.
Troops are patrolling the streets The
Mohammedans are a small minority of the
population.
1oKoHoMA, Aug. ll.-About 5 o'clock
on the evening of July 23d, an organized
body of insurgents took possession of the
main thoroughfares in Sioule, the capital OF
Corea. and sacked the royal residence
and Japanese legation. The latter
envoy and consul escaped with some TWEEN
ty followers and made their way to the
palace for protection, but found it already
in possession of the riotesr. Then they re-
treated to Jinsen port, fifteen miles distant,
being repeatedly assaulted on the way.
-Four were killed, three wounded and sew
eral missing. The survivors, among whom
were the envoy and consul, reached the
British surveying ship in the neighborhood,
arriving at Nagasaki. A japanese ship of
war was ordered to Corea to rescue the inn
periled japanese and obtain information as
10 the cause of the outbreak, but to avoid
discussion or dispute. The vessel returned
on August 18th, announcing that the Japa-
nese at Sioule had probably been slaught-
cred and the capital was in state of an
archy. Of royal inmates of the palace
the king alone was spared. The queen
was murdered. The kings heir, and the
latters betrothed, both children, were poi
soned, forcibly administered. Thirteen
ministers of state and other high dignitaries
were slain.

Number one of volume one, of
the Duluth daily BEE is on our table.
1t is six column folio, presents a
neat typographical appearance, is
ably edited, and as full of news as an
egg is of meat. The BEE certainly
makes good start off, and if it main
tains its responsibility, there is no
doubt as to its future prosperity. Du-
luth has been cursed by the Tribun e
smut mill long enough, and the good
people of that growing young city
should stand by respectable journal
ism as well as other things of respecta-
bility, and give the BEE their hearty
support. Price of the BEE only SO
cents per month.

There is said to be some little stir and hustle
at Superior just at present, caused by rumors of
the contemplated building there Of 1000 foot
dock by the Chicago. st. Paul, Minneapolis Oma-
ha Railroad company. 1t doesn't take much in
the way of improvement to excite the good peo-
pie of Superior, so that they double on the price
of corner lots.-Duluth Tribune.
Yes, and everything that tends to
make glad the Superior heart, in a
two fold ratio makes sad and discon-
ISOLATE the average Duluthian, as is
evidenced by the above doleful wall
from brother Mitch. Yes, the 1000
foot-dock to be built by TIE Omaha
company means business for Superior
and we have no reason to mourn over
its construction, and when done,
Mitch. may come over and sit on a
snub-post and fish with his little hook
and line. We're not going tone mean
because he is.

"A news paragraph in the Chicago
Times says: "a deck load of Spanish
jackasses was imported at New York,
last Saturday, by gentleman from
Mount Leonard, Missouri" What on
earth that state can want with any
more of them is beyond the compre-
hension of an average Christian up a
slim, slick sapling. Hasn't she already
her Crittendens and Vests, Clardys and
Johnny B. Clarks, her St. Louis Re-

blatant bourbon statesmen, all lineal
descendants of Balaam's talking sad
dle-pony? Importing jackasses indeedl
That is certainly carrying Goals to

A rranoements have been nerfect

Arrangements have been perfect
ed for a great running race at the
State Fair at Fond du Lac, with lady
riders as contestants. This feature in
state fairs ought to be abolished, rather
than advertised as one of the main
features of the occasion. 1t is bru-
tai piece of business, and is feature
which appeals only to the brute ele-
ment in man. 1t is abuse to the
horse, injurious to the rider, and no
good at all is derived from it, and the
sooner our fairs drop the custom
the better. Our fairs should
be elevating and not debasing institu-
tons.

In the Saltwater department of
the Pioneer Press of Wednesday last,
we find the following item:
Mr.. David Cover of this city, who re.
Gently discovered that an island in Lake
Superior which he entered some five years
or more ago and has patent from the
government for, is being claimed by min
ing company, who are sinking q shaft and

From the BEE, Duluth's new
daily paper, we take the following
item relating to Superior. 1t is the
first time, so far as we know, that a
Duluth paper has ever spoken a good
word for our young city, and it will be
duly appreciated and remembered by
our people:
Superior has organized Board of Trade com
posed of some Of its most entcrpriSing citizens
and from the way they start out. they seem de-
termined to boom their town for all ii is worth
and that is great deal. There is no reason why
Superior should not progress except the apathy
Of her own citizens, but the new men who have
lately settled there to DO fully alive to the
times and to their natural advantages, and will
certainly let no grass grow under their feet. An
organization such as that now formed Will do
much to push Superior and if the members will
only work together they Will have good deal to
show within a twelyemonth. The members OF
the board are VIM. J. Conan, w. G. Waldo, Josiah
Bond, Jr. and L. ". Stafford.

In sinking an artesian we'll in the
suburbs Of St. Paul, lately, a vein OF
very rich iron ore was struck, of high
ly magnetic properties, and of super
Tor quality. The deposit where per-
forated by the well-diggers was found
to be over forty feet in thickness. If
its extension is in any proportion to
its thickness, it will be capable of fur

terial, when properly worked. An ex-
perimental shaft is to be sunk at once.

1T is now averred that all the flu:

1t is now averred that all the fuss
that has recently been made about the
discovery of the remains of q masto-
don in Bismack, arose from the fact
that DIR. Bigelow, the accomplished
bachelor dentist of the Missouri slope
metropolis, pulled a tooth for a Bis
marck girl, and incautiously threw it
in an alley, where some antiquarians
connected with The Tribune afterward
unearthed it.-Fargo Argus.

Theatrical and Circus life.

The Historical Publishing Co., of
St. Louis, have just issued a book
bearing the above title. 1t treats of a
new and always interesting subject,
and will no doubt, be welcomed by
many amusement lovers who desire
to acquaint themselves with the mys-
teries of the profession" In fact it
will interest all classes of readers, ow-
ing to its revelations of secrets hereto
fore known only to managers and
actors. The unthor is a well known
dramatic critic, his style is easy and
natural, and the numerous anecdotes
and personal adventures with which
he enlivens his work, render it re-
freshingly interesting. Book agents
will have a good thing in this volume.

Why The Boats Don't Come.

Messrs. Stafford & Conan have
got into a little wrangle with the
L. S. & l.. NJ. Trans. Co., over the
small sum of $500 in the matter of
freight, and the former having threat
ened to tie up the company's boats if
they run into this port, the company
have decided to run no more boats in
here this fall. We do not suppose it
would do a particle of good if we
should fill our columns with opinions
regarding the matter, but we do think
it an outrage that the whole town
should be made to suffer for such
trifing matter. If it is put up job
to temporarily injure this end of town
and it begins to look a little that
wayne think the game will react
upon themselves. However, we trust
that when the matter is brought to the
notice of the head men of the trans
portation company, they will not be
driven off the lake by the threats of
any two men on its borders, but will,
unless it is a game as intimated, order
their boats to the Superior port as they
have advertised to do. Other ship
pers than those of Superior are inter
ested, who will not long patronize
line of steamers that plays such tricks
upon them. We patiently await furth-
er Developments.
