crossing of the \. 7. road, about
thirteen miles from here. 1t is said
that good material is found there, and
the facilities for transportation cannot
be eXcelled.
-Retallack & Cox have moved
their stock of merchandise into the
new store building of Silberstein &
Bondy. They now have the finest
store in town and they carry a large
stock of goods. Call and see them in
their new quarters.
VIM. King has placed upon his
house neat sign in black, pointing
the weary and hungry traveller to a
place Of rest and where he can get a
square meal" Mr.. King keeps a
good hotel and we cheerfully recon-
mend his house to the public.
MIR. John F. Betz, wealthy
brewer Of Philadelphia, was in town
the early part of the week looking
over the place, and thinks seriously Of
investing few thousand Of his spare
dollars in Superior He is much pleas
ed with our city and prospects.
Owing to the scarcity of beef and
other fresh meats, cured meats and
fish have got corner on the consum-
ers. Fresh fish (when they can be got
at ALI sell for Zoe and lie per pound.
1t is outrageous, but we suppose we
shall have to stand it for time.
J. F. Bischof has got his large
stock Of hardware moved into his new
quarters, the Brooks store building re-
Gently occupied by McDermid q Co.
1t is a great improvement over the
old quarters, and it gives him chance
to display his goods to better advant-
age.
1t is reported that our friend J.
Z. Olson, the Uppertown millionair is
to soon take unto himself 9 better
half" We have not learned the name
Of fortunate lady, as she is said to be
q stranger. Some Of our Superior
girls ought to have captured John
long ago.
The maple sugar makers have just
come in from the bush and report an
unusual harvest in that line. Over
one ton of the condensed sweetness
was secured by three small camps. 1t
finds ready sales and at remunera-
tive prices. Charles Lord handles the
bulk of it.
The favorite promenade now
seems to be out along the n P. track.
The only drawback is the scarcity of
shelter during a squall We saw one
party making extra good time during
the shower last Sunday. Nothing like
having an engineer" along on such
occasions, Ell, girls ?
Several Of the boys have got
their blood up and are ready for a
horse race at short notice. The first
Of the season came elf last Saturday
between horses owned by Mr.. A. l..
Lord and Mr.. Chas. Watkins. Mr..
Lord carried Of the honors, which was
all there was to carry off on that occa-
sion
Mr.. Bond, Of Kenosha, Wiscon-
sin, arrived in Superior last Thursday
and proposes TO stay, and be one tc
enjoy her future greatness. He seems
10 be young man Of sterling qualities
and good business qualifications, and
VIII engage in the abstract and reaI
estate business, and the TINES bids
him welcome, and wishes him success
The dance at the KuykendaII
House last Wednesday evening is pro
nounced by those who attended, as Z
grand success. The house was iIlum
mated from top to bottom during the
evening the music was good and the
supper every way excellent the occas-

pies, quite number Of the partici
pants being from Duluth.
The publishing office of The
Lake Church." Superior's religion:
paper, has been transferred from the
New York house to the Superior
TINES ofice-a very sensible move OF
the part of its publishers. There i
no sense in paying New York pub
fishers for work which can be done
just as well at home The first issue
of the home print will be out mex
week.
Mr.. L. II. Warner has opened
out in the Post Office building a gen
eral assortment of novelties, notions
Stationery, pictures, &C., together
with a fine display of specimens o.
Lake Superior curiosities. His Is the
only store Of the kind in the city, anC
will undoubtedly prove a good invest
ment. Be sure and give him a cal
before you spend your money at some
inferior place.
Lately we have noticed young
men and boys in numbers Of ten or !
dozen, sitting on the bridge ratings
row on either side of the walk, and
when a lady OF necessity has to pas:
through the rowdies use all sorts of in
sulting, vulgar and profane language
and this Is kept up until late in the
evening. The policemen should polish
up their eye glasses little, and see i
they could not capture some Of the
hoodlums and make al example 0.
them.
We are now having made BY
Chicago Engravers a neat little map
showing the lake location and railroad
system Of Superior. 1t is neat anc
plain, and just the thing to put OF
yo1r envelopes and letter heads. w
