Our friend Mr.. Shaw does not propose

he could not carry the election. He is Civ
ing his fine residence on second street
coat of nice white paint which makes it
look as fresh as a daisy.
How about our Village organization?
Are we going to have it Ifso 1t is time to
be moving, and doing something in that
and direction. Court convenes here in June
the preliminary work must be done before
that time. Can we afford to let the oppor
tunity pass by unimproved?
--McGillis & Welch requests US to say
that they are getting up grand party to
come off at Halls new Hotel building, next
Wednesday evening. The Duluth string
band will be on hand to furnish the music
and grand good time is anticipated.
Remember next Wednesday evening.
Mr.. Gates, of Neillsville, Wis, an ex-
tensive lumber dealer, was in the city last
week looking over the ground with view
to putting up a large saw mill here. Mr..
Gates seems to be live business man, and
we hope he may decide to locate here, for
we need just such men in our work of re-
construction.
MIR. S. Bacon, attorney at law, has
card in the TINES to-day. Mr.. Bacon is
successful practitioner late from Michigan,
who has cast his lot with Superior, and
those who have legal business to transact
might find it to their advantage to consult
him at the outset. At present he has
desk at the court house.
A reputed millioniar is reported by the
Duluth Tribune of Monday to be sick in
that city, and fearing death, called for an
attorney and made a will in which several
Duluthians are remembered, and the city
itself left $4,000 with which to found an
orphan asylum in his honor, and to bear
his name, which is James Todd. Rather
fishy.
Our Duluth neighbors becoming
frantic over their ice bound harbor decided
to clear a track for at least one boat out,
and to this end used much powder, and
finally succeeded in getting the barge D.
NJ. Wilson, loaded with wheat for the lower
lakes, through the opening By using
enough powder their harbor might be kept
open all the year round.
The old hunch-back Chippewa squaw,
whose name is not known, if she ever had
one, but whose bent and withered form
lettering along the streets has been familiar
to the citizens to Duluth since the earliest
history Of its settlement, died at Park Point
Saturday. A superstitious wake was held
over the remains yesterday, at which five
generations of her descendants were pre-
sent BY those who know most of her his
tory, the age of this old woman is computed
t. he IL years. She will be buried in
Park Point Duluth Tribune 18th.
Our suggestion last week that the Odd
Fellows Of this city ought to organize
lodge, met with approval with portion of
them at least, and also had the effect to
cause some of the Masonic brethren to think
about doing likewise. We are informed
that there are more than enough Masons
in town to organize lodge here. This be-
ing the case why could not both societies
organize, and for the time being rent and
use jointly a suitable hall? Society organ
izations have place and work in towns,
the same as churches, schools &c. Shall
we have the lodges?
Mr.. Antoine Cournoycr, father of Mrs.
V. Rov. died at his home on Mr.. Roy's
farm in Uppertown, last Wednesday even
ing, of paralysis. Mr.. Cournoyer at the
time of his death, was Sc years of age, and
was one of the first white men who visited
this region, Of whom we have any record
having come here in the employ of the
Hudson Bay fur company, more than fifty
years ago. He was man universally
liked and respected by all who knew him.
The funeral services will take place to-
morrow Saturday morning from the Cath
Ollie church.
james Bailey is the name Of man
who has been at work in the woods near
here the past winter. Some ten days ago
he came to town, got paid off, and went in
for big spree. He was found one morn
ing last week down in an old shanty by the
docks suffering from delerium and snakes in
his boots. On being taken to his boarding
house and doctor called it was found that
he had injured in some way one of his eyes
very badly. DR.. Gauvreau done all he could
for the poor fellow, but erysipelas setting
in the eye-sight has been entirely destroy
ed. An eye is pretty big price to pay for
one beastly drunken spree.
As was reported that she would do in
Saturday evenings Tribune, the barge D.
NJ Wilson, loaded with wheat for Buffalo,
steamed through the canal Just before six
o'clock that evening. She did not 60
many lengths into the ice, however, before
she was brought to dead stand still. She
reversed and bucked again and again, but
gaining little advantage Her efforts were
repeated at frequent intervals yesterday
and to-day with no success. Yesterday a
southwest wind moved greater prortion
of the ice down the lake, but the narrow
barrier that remains, its width apparently
not twice the length of the boat, it doubt
less anchored on the bottom, and may re-
quire favorable currents and wind of some
days durtion to dispense it.-Tribune of
