A LET or StaIcadea.

In summing up the suicides of this
country for the months of September
October and November, 1882, the
Detroit Free Press gives 424 case for
the three months. The age at which
the greatest number of suicides were
committed was 80, the number being
seventeen; eleven at the age of so.
nine at So, while one hung on till 90
before he discovered life to be fraud.
The youngest suicide was only ten
years old, while there were twelve
under 20. Among the causes "family
troubles" stood the highest, claiming
81 lives Sickness" came next With

our Enlargement.

Since our connection with the
TINES one year ago, we have made
several important changes and i'm
provements affecting its general APP
pearance and make up. We believe
all of these changes have found favor
with its readers and patrons. We now
come to the front with another I'M
portant change and decided improve
ment We this week enlarge the
the TINES to an eight column paper,
thus enabling us to give our readers
nearly eight columns more of good
reading matter than we were doing or
could do with a seven column paper.
The TINES is now the largest paper
ever printed in Superior, and we shall
endeavor to make its quality equal to
any of its predecessors. We do not
care to, and probably will never make
a personal canvass Of the. town for
subscribers, preferring that the paper
should do its own soliciting. but we
will here say that there are good
many people in Superior who do not
take the TINES, who ought to do so
and we hope they will 50 far appreci-
ate our efforts to make good local
paper as to subscribe soon. The bust
ness men of the town. with few ex-
ceptions, have stood by the TINES
manfully and generously, during the
past year, and to all these we return
our hearty thanks, and promise to try
and so conduct ourselves that they
shall not regret having done so.
We want to continue improving the
TIMES office in all its branches, from
time to time as our means will permit.
( Before another winter settles down
upon US we want TO get Il good com
Portable office over on Second street
and to put in good power press for
the newspaper. To accomplish this
a good deal of money will be required,
and yet we can do it if every subserib-
err will pay up what he owes and q
year in advance, and each present
subscriber will send US in one new
name with the pay for year in ad-
vance If our friends will help us
this much We will give YOU the TINES
fresh from a steam press by the close
of 1888. We can only grow and pros
per in that proportion that we help
one another, and for the present we
will help you to an eight column pa
per, and then wait little while to see
what you Will do for us.

The foundations this winter have
had few equals in central Europe,
during the century, in either extent of
territory of loss entailed. At Pesth,
an overflow of the Danube DESTROYED
twenty-four villages and swept away
the inhabitants in April 1911. There
were frightful foundations in Hun
gary, Austria and Poland in MAY,
1918. An overflow Of the Danube in
September of the same year carried
away 1000 Turkish troops who we're
on a small island near Widen; and
later in the autumn of 1881, 1000
lives were lost in Poland by inunda
tons The Vistula overflow in Ger
many in 1916 caused Il great loss of
life. At Vienna in 1880 the dwell
ings of $4,000 inhabitants were LAID
under water. The Rhine and the
Rhone oyerfowed their valleys to
great extent i'll 1852, destroyed vast
amount of property. In Holland
nearly 10000 acres were submerged
IN 1861. No estimate of the total loss
of property by the floods Of the pres
ent month has been made (indecd, the
destruction is still going on in Hun
gary,) but it is enormous; and many
people have persisted. Famine is al
ready staring the people of whole pro-
vinces in the face, and the relieffunds
being organized throughout Europe
and the United States cannot be too
speedily formed or their managers too
diligent in transmitting assistance

Ole III. Kindretis0n.

Over in the Fifth district of Mime
sofa political matters are controlled
by the Norwegian element, which is
largely in the majority there. This
element, with few leaders like ka-
mute Nelson, Of Brainerd; Gilmanson,
of ST. Cloud; Ole Nicholson, of Du-
luth, and a few Others, decides the
destinies of all political aspirants in
that district. 1t was that element
which beat Kindred last fall. and this
Gilman-son was one of the hardest
workers. Now, TO make peace, Gill
man wants to pacify Mr.. Kindred and
a few of his friends, to the end that
they would work for the election of
Coy Hubbard for L. S. Senator, and
thus let Gilman into the Governors
chair, and to this end he gave a little
supper to few of his friends, or those
he wants to be friendly with, and
among them was Mr. Kindred, of
course, who was made master of cere-
monies, and who wickedly ordered all
the good things the bill of fare enum-
Grated. When Gilman thought the
wine had warmed his friends to low
ing pitch, he rose and made little
speech in behalf of peace and harmo-
ny, closing as follows;
NOW, why don't you boys, tomor-
row, cast your ballots for Hubbard.
Then you might give them to Cole"
Here he put in an impressive pause,
but as no one suggested that then we
might vote for Gilman" the speaker
sat down. Then, says the Press, it
was Kindred's turn, and the mustache
of the Brainerd boss twitched as he
arose to the occasion. He said it was
a first-rate time to nominate a candi-
date for U. S. senator, and though not
in the legislature, he felt honored at
naming Kanute Nelson, man who
was Norwegian, which told il all, for
he had discovered that to be Nor
wegian was to be the d-dest fellow
in Northern Minnesota. Here he
turned to Aaker, who was shifting
about uneasily in his chair, evidently
failing to enjoy the picnic, and said,
soto voce: 81 don't include YOU
Aaker" Kindred continued by say
ing that he favored the election Of
Nelson partly because he (Kindred)
intended to run for congress in the
Fifth district again. and was in st.
Paul now for the sole purpose of hav
ing his name inserted in the omnibus
bill and changed to Ole II. Kindred
son. He continued in this strain
until Gilman and Aaker were sicklied
Ger as if the rich food didn't agree
with them, and BY the time he had
finished Gilman had registered Il sol
emn mental vow never to get into that
gang, in private place, again. His
resolve became as adamant when upon
inquiring for his bill he found that it
footed up more than 800, and the
molety of postage money he had laid
aside for the entertainment wasn't
enough to square the odd dollars. The
barkeeper in the Annex swears the
party had thirty six bottles of cham
payne, but he probably exaggerates
by at least six quarts.

death as the cold.
