REPUBLICANS LETTER.

What an Old Resident of Carson
Writes Back From the East
what lie Says Of Cleveland and
Blaine.
The following letter is from n Of the
EARLIEST residents Of 0rmsby county-one
yel.known TO every man, woman and
child in Carson City for more than 20
ysrs. The writer is an old-timer in the
Republican ranks, and his letter is writ
ven 10 a friend Of his own political predi.
lotions. The letter is dated at Fort Plain
Montgomery county, N. Y, and runs al
follows:

Blaine would be followed by the defeat OF
the Republican party.
OF course | do not know Of my own
knowledge how New York will go, but
would not be surprised If it went for
Cleveland BY 10000 majority. and that
Cleveland was elected by a larger majority
than any man was ever before elected
As II is ascertained now to a certainty that
Blaine has no supporters here but the
great corporations, all the best men and
well-Wishers Of the country are against

proved him, beyond a doubt, to be one OF

corruption and blackmail.

The Nations Seal Skins.

The San Francisco Exchange says: Woe
be unto the bold and wicked pirate who
invades the fishing preserves Of the
Alaska Commercial Company. The whole
power Of the Navy shall come against him,
and, yea, even shall his sesl-skins and fish
oil be confiscated unto the Government.
A brave officer of the Navy has just
brought a pirate prize of this kind into
port, which he captured after one of the
most desperate naval engagements wit
messed in the Pacific waters since that
memorable sea-fght between an Aleut
canoe and the U. S. jamestown, when
Commander Glass ordered all hands on
deck with cutlasses, battened down the
matches, do~uble-shotted the gun and
stood, lanyard in hand, ready to die in
defense of his country's seal-skins.

FROM THE NORTH.
A Description OF Muir Glacier
AEnakA

a AFOSth bthOh VI Us ShhSEtE
Alaska.
A private letter to the editor OF the Silver
State from a member Of Gov. Kinkead's
party concludes as follows: We arrived
here this morning about l O'Clock. Yes
terday We did" Glacier Bay, and Of all
the magnificent sights that the eye Of man
ever looked upon, 1 think it the chief.
The surroundings are grand beyond any
description, and must be seen to be even
approximately appreciated. Our good
ship steered within 100 yards of the foot of
Muir glacier, the front about three miles
in extent and spreading back in fan-shape
for miles. If you could fill the Humboldt
Valley from bluff to bluff for O distance of
about 40 miles with ice 500 to 1000 feet
deep, you might form some idea of
this great work Of nature. The foot Of
the glacier is about 500 feet high; a wall
Of ice, ii o~verhaDgs the water two to four
fathoms deep, constantly breaking off
with laundering sounds. The bay is full
Of fields Of floating ice, large and small,
some acres in extent. The top Of the
glacier, or field Of ice, is corrugated into
every imaginable kind Of ~pinnacled and
castellated formation. l give it upl No
words can portray the magniicence and
grandeur Of this one glacier-and there
are many Of them. | was reminded of
Tennyson: Glacier to the right of usl
Glacier TO the left Of usl Glacier in front

Fairweather group of mountains, clad
apparently to their base with eter-
nal and unbroken snow. Mt. FAirweather,
proper, rising TO q height Of nearly 10000
feet, and this on a warm, bright, sunshiny
day, very little, if any, colder than the
same time in Nevada. Alaska is truly a
land Of marvellous scenery; its material re-
sources are as yet an unsolved problem. ]
feel very much at home here in Sitka;
many old friends greet me and seem over
joyed at my coming. The town and In
dian village are much improved in clean
illness, which is next to Goodness, 1t be-
lieve. The white population is not very
numerous, but good. The ship leaves on
return voyage at 4:30 A. NJ. / will stick
by her TO the very last.

FATAL
A Miner Meets instantaneous Death
b. His Own Folly.


Tuscarora Times: A fatal mishap oc-
Cured at the Grand Prize last evening
which resulted in the instant death OF
Robert Hutchinson, a miner employed
there, the circumstance of which are as
follows: Hutchinson and Others en-
ployed on the day shift had just quit
work, and were awaiting the cage at the
400-foot station to convey them to the sur
face. Upon It's arrival and while the men
were getting aboard, Hutchinson, who
was converting with q companion, asked
another miner: tom, are you going to
try the bonnet tonight ?" and On being
answered in the negative said: "Then
will" and quickly stepped forward and
upward around the cage to the c~ross-plates
between the cage and water-tank COM
partments, reached for the cable, but
missed his grasp and fell backward down
the latter compartment to the water
below, a distance of forty feet.
William Trembath and V. Fraino,
who were on the cage at the
time, and being familiar with the shaft
descended by a ladder to the water, where
they found the body of the unfortunate
man floating upon the surface, being
buoyed up by the air contained in his cloth
ing. Signaling for the cage, the body was
brought up when it was found that in his
descent his head had come in contact with
the wall-plates of the shaft, crushing the
back of the skull in a fearful manner, rem
dering death instantaneous.
The deceased has been a resident of this
section for the past 10 years, rotating be-
tween the various camps, and was known
as a thorough and energetic prospector
He was a native Of Virginia, AZ years OF
age, unmarried and has no known rela-
tives in this vicinity, but has, we belive, a
twin brother in the military service, sta
toned at Port Ontario, in the State Of New
York.

DIED..

KIMBALI-ln Superior On Saturday morning,
March 10Th, 1854, William Kimball, aged 40
years. months and l6 days.
The immediate cause of Mr.. Kimbalrs death
was an internal cancerous tumor, which had been
forming for several months. Some three weeks
ago his family physician, Dr. O. n, Murdoch, call
e1 to his assistance, DR.. Johnson, Of Hudson, and
the two made an examination which led them to
conclude that Mr.. Kimballs death was only a
matter of time, and that a very short time. For
the last two weeks none but his family and near
friends were allowed to see him.
William Kimban was born in Skowhcgan,
Maine, July 18th, 1884 Shortly before attaining
his majority, he started for the west, and for a
time resided at Oshkosh, and in its vicinity. In
1854 he came to Superior, where he has since made
his home, marrying, in 1864. Miss Jane Hinton,
who. with their six children, five daughters and
one son, survives him. While In Superior he was
engaged most of the time In the numbering bust
ness and associated for the past fifteen years with
Mr. II. NJ. Peyton, and at the time of his death
was member of the fam of Peyton, kimball &
Barber, whose saw mill on Connors Point is one
of the largest at the head OF the lake. He served
several terms as Supervisor and Chairman of the
town and county Boards and as School Director
and was always looked up TO and regarded as
ieeoiis eitZeh vi soou, cooI IuuSnelit u saie uu-
wiser, and one whose example in every walk of
life no need hesitate to follow. His family
has indeed lost kind husband and father. and
the neighborhood citizen whose place Il viii be
hard to fill.
The remains were deposited In Nemadi Gene
terry Monday afternoon, after services at the house
and grave, by the Rev. c. l.. Richards, of the Pres
byterian church. The pail bearers were H. NJ
Peyton, L. A Barber, s. H. Clough, A. c. Brown,
P E. Bradshaw and Denis Dean, and the funeral
procession was one of the largest ever witnessed
In Superior.

Election Results.

Our annual election has come and
gone, and still the world moves and
our glorious country is considered
safe, by the most thoughtful and clear
headed men, Notwithstanding the dis
NAL forebodings of the defeated can
didates At the hour appointed in the
morning the usual reports of the Of
ficials detailing what they had done
during the past year, were read and
accepted. As these reports will be
given in detail as soon as we can get
them in type, it Is not necessary to
dwell upon them hear The tax levy
for the ensuing year foots up, s44, 800.
of which amount 5000 was for
roads and bridges, with stipulation
that at least $4,000 of the amount
should be devoted to the improvement
of second street. For miscellaneous
purposes ST 500 was voted, of which
sum $500 is for our better protection
against fire; the poor was not forgot
ten AID 1000 was set aside for their
benefit, and 81 900 for the purchase of
ground for a new cemetery. The bal
ance of the sum total was $4,000 for
a Town Hall, although this sum was
voted by ballot, the vote standing 173
for and 80 against the proposition.
The result of the election, like all
similar results was eminently satisfact-
tory to the winning candidates, and
correspondingly odious to the defeated
ones. This seems to be an unavoidable
result. Personally we have no object
ions to raise against any one of the
elected, we voted for some of them
and against some, and that ends it.
They are now our public servants, and
it Is the duty of every good citizen to
give them aid and encouragement in
all their duties. AS to the Board of
Supervisors while it is termed new
Board, it is not so, for two Of them
haye served the town in that capacity
before, and are prepared to go right
along with the business before them
without having to first learn their
duties, and we have right to expect
from them an able administration of
our public affairs. The Clerk, Treas
urer, Assessor, one Justice, Mr.. New
ton, and the Constable are all reel
ections, and Mr.. Polski was elected
Justice last spring but failed to quail
ify, so that aside from one member of
the Board, and Mr.. Tinkham for Just
ice, are the only new men elected.
The total vote polled was 1872,
about Il two-thirds vote of the town,
which vote was divided among the
various candidates as follows:
The Superior times. [volume] (Superior, Wis.) 1870-1912, 1884-04-05
1t will be remembered by our |,

1t will be remembered by our To-
cal readers at least, that about year
ago the town Supervisors appropriated
$500 for the purchase of Hook and
Ladder truck outfit, for our firemen,
and that when the outfit was got for
$500, dispute arose as to what should
be done with the other $500. Mr.. SAT-
ford, we believe, held that the $500
should go back into the treasury of
the town, while the firemen thought
they ought to have it to buy uniforms
with, and so the matter has stood un-
til last week, when the Board direct
ed that the money should be placed at
the disposal of the fire department.
That the boys are entitled to uniforms
no one will deny, and now that they
have got the means with which to
procure them, we hope they will at
tend the meeting tonight, re-organize
the company if necessary, and give US
a good and efficient Hook and Ladder
Company.

The boys tell pretty good one
on brother Bond, of the Inter Ocean.
1t seems Josiah Is passionately fond of
doughnuts and as lard is high he don't
often get a chance at good plateful
of them, but when he sat down to his
breakfast at the Kuykendall House
Tuesday morning, there set a huge
pile of handsome looking doughnuts,
and the way Josiah put them out of
sight was caution, and not until the
seventh one got stuck in his teeth did
he discover that they were principally
made of cotton. He has tried emetics
and physic, but a cork screw seems to
be the only thing that will afford any
relief. We believe Mr. Bondy is res
ponsible for the Joke.

and looking out of his window saw q
