Our Regular borough Correspondence.
At the present time the position of our
town council is a very unpleasant one.
The laying out Of streets, and giving the
grade for paving have caused much dis
satisfaction. Those who have already
laid their pavemcnts according to the
grade given them upon application do
not think it right that they should be
compelled to tear them up. or change the
grading. Viewers have been appoint
ed for the respective streets, who
are property holders aud own prop
erty along the streets. The town council
instead Of beginning at one end or the
other of the borough and grading right
straight through. have begun work at diff.
ferent points along the street, and after u
short piece OF pavement has been laid,
take the grading of that a; criterion by
which to lay the remainder. 1t does not ap-
pear fair. A more satisfactory way would
be to appoint three men of intelligence
from some town or city, have them lay
out our streets and give us the grading
for each, men who are not property hold
ers, or related in any way to those living
in the borough SO that there will not be tho
least chance to charge disingenuousness,
and even if such cry should be heard, they
would be deaf to it and our town would
soon be one of beauty, with streets that
would bear the criticism of all.
The sanitary arrangements Of our little
town are as yet very crude. On walking
past flourishins butcher shops our olfac-
tories were greeted with an uubearablo
odor, which, on inquiry, was found TO
arise from slaughter house. This has
been glaring evil for years. Its influence
is felt to such an extent as to cause prop
perty in it's immediate vicinity to seriously
deteriorate in value. The Deighbors
have time and again complained Of
the nuisance, and at one time petition
was circulated for the purpose of doing
away with the cause of Ofense, but this
course aroused the ire of tho proprietors
to such an extent that the neighbors
thought best to discard this plan and wait
for better feelings to assert themselves.
But tho slaughter house still stands in all
its glory, fertile source of annoyance.

attempted her life, as she is in tho habit of
threatening to commit suicide whenever
she is not humored in whatever she may
desire.

"She isn't anybody; she works for

Such were the words spoken by a
handsome, accomplished and we'll
dressed lady.
The subject of her remark was a
young girl, neatly but cheaply attired
who passed by the post office where
the lady and her companion were
standing. | was waiting to get
our mail and could not help but hear
what she said, and it was said in such
a scornful tone:
"She isn't anybody; she works for a
living
"Now, | say all honor to the girl
that can make her own living. 1t
shows she can depend on herself, and
every time she wants a cent she doesn't
have to ask father" for it. And |
say shame upon the man or woman
who sights woman simply because
she may have to work for a living"
What could they DO for a living if
they were poor? Would they steal, or
would they sit down and starve?
Those are the only courses l can think
of.
No, | say again, as | said before,
all honor to the girl who can earn her
own living.
People who think otherwise are mar
row minded and ignorant. Let the
one who thinks it disgrace to work,
and shun the society of those who do
put herself in their place-fcr some
time they may be poor-for all know
that ''riches have wings"
Then what good would your pride
be to you? And then, perhaps, you
might be glad to work for a living"
To the girl who works out l say,
never be ashamed to own it, for you
know, "Toiling hands alone are build
ers." And if some of our stylish la
dies were not afraid of soiling their
white hands in dishwater, but would
go into the kitchen and do their own
work, instead of sitting in the parlor
drumming on the piano or lying on
the sofa readinga trashy novel, we
would hear Of less failures IN business.

Never forsake a friend When
enemies gather around, when sickness
falls on the heart, when the world is
dark and cherries, is the time to try
true friendship. They who turn from
scenes of distress betray their hypocra-

moves them. If you have friend who
loves you-be sure to sustain him in
adversely. Let him feel that his form
er kindness is appreciated, and
that his love was not thrown away.
Real fidelity may be rare, but it exists
in the heart. They only deny its
worth and power who have never loved

fectionate and the virtuous, see and

Since our connection with the TIMES 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 a special correspondent, and
then it would be incompleteIy done. To
meet the desires of all, therefore, we have
compiled, from such statistics as are avail
able, a 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 new one, but that from various
causes its development has been retarded.
The obstacles which have heretofore oper-
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 & Omaha road giving us direct
communication with Chicago to the east
and all the great and fertile region lying to
the South and Southwest in an unbroken
chain through Southern Dakota, Nebraska

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 if by
magic. Superior is the county seat Of

A telegram was received by City Marshal
Arnold yesterday from the Sheriff of Cald-
well, Kansas, in response to the Marshals
letter to him giving a description OF Oscar
Rhein, the party he arrested a few DAYS
since on suspicion of his being one of the
party Of cowboys who several weeks
ago shot ana killed the City
Marshal of Caldwell. The Sheriff
thinks the description of Rhein suitable to
one of the parties, and is Of the opinion that
City Marshal Arnold has the right man.
When arrested a letter was found on the
prisoner dated and postmarked Wichita,
Kansas. 1t was from a woman, and written
in q mysterious manner. She wanted him
10 send her money 10 come to Texas, and
stated that she was fearful that he was SHOT,
or that something terrible had happened
to him. He will be held for Identification.
When first arrived here, which was only
few weeks ago, he secured position with
butcher named Gardner, and one evening
when he was feeling his beer he became
very communicative and confessed that he
was one of the gang that was in the fight
and that he was on the side
of the cowboys. He told how the
fight began and how it ended, giving all
the particulars. After the fight he made
for Texas, riding horseback through the
Indian Territory, and when he struck the
State line sold his horse and came on to
this city by rail. A HERALD reporter
called at TIE station house and had a talk
with the prisoner who is q German by
birth. He protested that he was in
nocent of the charge and denied
that he ever told GardRer
that he was in the fight. In regard to the
letter found on his person, he said it was
written by a woman who asked him to de-
liver it TO a party, OF certain name, should
