Work on the new shop in the penitentiary

is $50 feet long by &c wide and three stories
high.
The steamer Penn Wright was sold at pub
lie sale yesterday by U. S. Marshal H. R.
Denny and purchased by Matt Clark and
Martin Mower, for the sum of S5,725.
The mills are cleaning up, preparatory to
beginning work, and busy season is eX-
pected, as the supply of logs in the booms is
large. The amount of cut timber on hand
is not large.
The new roller rink, on Main street. is be-
ing pushed forward rapidly, and when finish
ed, will be place for healthful recreation
for the young folks. 1t is built on the same
plan as the one in st. Paul.
Owing to the rapid thaw, the streets of the
city are pretty well washed off, and in a few
days, with dry weather, everything will be
lovely. Some of the walks ON the cliff sides
of the streets will require q good deal of
cleaning.
The travel between Saltwater and st. Paul
is on the increase. The passenger coaches
come in daily crowded to their utmost ca
pacity. Every one that comes is much
pleased with our city on the hills. But if the
friends are pleased now, how much more
will they be delighted when nature puts on
its spring garb, and the gaily bedecked eX-
cursion steamers glide, freighted with pleas
ure seekers, over the smooth surface of the
beauteous Lake st. Croix.
The Northwestern Car Construction com
pany have full force of men at work, but
many more will be employed as soon as the
buildings they are now preparing to construct
are finished. Prison labor is utilized to a
very large extent. They have large num-
Der IF threshers under way, and many of the
convicts prove themselves first-class mechan-
;ao r. thn Ia- IL
corps of men under him, and no work is al
lowed to pass that is not good work, true
work, and fitted for its purpose.
The Democratic city convention met at the
city hall on Tuesday evening for the purpose
of nominating candidate for Judge of the
municipal court. Emil Kreuger was elected
chairman and L. J. O'Brien secretary. John
G. Netheway was unanimously nominated
for the position. Delegate E. w. Durant
presented the following:
ReSoloed That the Democratic party of the
city of saltwater do most fully endorse the
position taken by the city council regarding
the question of high license.
After considerable maneuvering on both
sides, the resolution was lost by tie vote,
which stood 8 to 8.
The rebuilding of the state prison is pro-
crossing rapidly, the prisoners being en-
ployed to attend upon the masons and brick
layers, and soon the prison will be in abetter
condition than ever. In the main building
fire walls are being erected, which were for
merly wanting, and will thus give greater
strength and security. The dormitory part
is as clean as it possibly can be, and only by
looking up and seeing the new roof, which
would give any idea that fire had been here.
On account Of the Lack OF room, owing to the
fire, each cell has two occupants, which, in
the case of hardened criminals, is a rather
dangerous thing, as trials of late in the courts
show. The officials are most obiiging.
The schools in Saltwater are in a very -four
ishing condition, owing to having the best of
teachers and the fostering care of Supt. Cur
tbs, who for years was a most successful
teacher. The teachers are required to be
painstaking, and the classes must thoroughly
understand their subject before they take up
another. Fire drill is about being taken up,
and in schools with so many departments
nothing could be better to avoid accident in
case of fire. The gongs have arrived and are
being put in place. At present the younger
children retire from their rooms with the pre-
cison of veterans to the ra-ta-ta of the kettle
drum. The schools close week later than
the st. Paul schools, as their term, on ac-
count of building, began one week late.
A laboring man by the name of Charles
Grunke, residing on south Fifth street, died
on Tuesday after an illness OF five months
The physician in attendance treated the
patient for cancer in the stomach, After his
death the friends and relatives of the de-
ceased asked for a post mortem examination
in order that the cause of death might be
settled beyond a doubt. Coroner Merrell ac-
ceeded to the request and caused the exam
ination to be made yesterday at the under
taking room of Burt d Miller, in the presence
of most of the physicians in the city, all of
whom agreed that death resulted from the
disease above named. By reason of his
long illness the family of Grunkc is said to
be in an extremely destitute condition and
in need of immediate assistance.
Favorable Netcs from Liberia.
Charleston News.
Jack Smith Of Montgomery, Ala, went to
Liberia last year, taking his wife and chill
dren with him. He is living at Brewerville,
and has written letter to some of his folks,
in which he says: ''You need not listen to
the many lies you hear about Africa saying
that yellow people cannot live here. 1t is all
false; they do as well as black ones The
citizens say they do better. Be you assured
that Africa is the home of the negro and you
will solve the problem one time or another
