Durant & Wheeler.
The steamer Ed. Durant, Jr.. arrived yes
terday and left with raft of logs for the Han
nibal Lumber Co., Hannibal. Mo.
| For the past twenty-four hours the rainfall
has been more than the whole summer, and
grasses, COIN and rootcrops win be much
! benefited.
/ Pratt & Gardner, the butchers, at PIP
| North Main street, still do rushing bust
ness. Mr.. Gardner brings his many friends
as patrons.
Nothing came before the municipal court
yesterday. There was Dane awaiting trial,
but it was postponed. The case against him
Is said to be serious one.
Pipes are being laid from the boiling
/ spring above the workshops in the prison
yard, to the several departments, thus en-
/ surfing a constant supply of the very best
water.
Mr.. Cooper Curtice, of Washington, D. c.,
is in the city. He is on the geological staff
OF the government and he is baggng quite
number OF specimens Of the rock strata in
this region.
The water has now got up to 2 feet 3
inches above low water mark, and is rising
rapidly Navigation is much improved al
ready, and the log and lumber men, as well
as the steamboat owners, are much gratified.
The panel, with date, for the arch over
Deputy Warden Halls office at the prison, is
a piece of fine workmanship, and the key of
the arch is massive block, beautifully
carved. When they are in position they will
make show to the best advantage.
Those interested and who have not paid
their taxes due in June last, may save trouble
by having them paid on or before the 18th
day OF September, as on that day Auditor
Foley will sell the lands of all delinquent
taxpayers in the county of Washington. He
means business and has to sell as provided
by law.
The painting at the roller skating rink is
getting on well and it is becoming a fairy
palace. The lilac ground work, with blue,
red aud maroon stripping, has q fine effect
The carpenters are about through with the
floor, but the painters will not be through for
| two or three days.
On Saturday last, the fine work that was
being got out at the prison shops for Mr.
Finch's new residence at st. Paul was ship
ped, and yesterday six of the men went to
that city to see to its erection. The work
will astonisb the mechanics there. None of
it was made by convict labor.
Between the new workshop of the North
western Manufacturing IL Car company in
SIDE the prison walls, and the paint shops,
preparations are being made for paving the
the space, which will be done in the best
manner. 1t is much required, as there is a
great deal of traffic at that point.
We see that the old car shop at the Duluth
station, owned by the Northwestern Manu-
featuring and Car company, is about being
removed the term of years for which it was
leased having expired, and the railway com
pany require the ground. 1t has been lying
idle for long time.
The Transfer company are putting the
roadbed through the city in the very best
condition, and the tracks are being as well
ballasted as on any road in the state. The
traffic is so great that If the roadbed is not
put in the very best of order it would shortly
be in an impossible condition.
Durant 81 Wheeler on Saturday sold to
Lindsay & Phelps, of Davenport, Ia. 400, 900
feet of logs They also sold 1000, 600 feet of
their large logs yesterday afternoon This is
doing well and we are pleased to chronicle
such sales, as it makes nice break in the
number of logs in the lake at this point.
There are some of the stockholders of the
the Base Ball associstion who are making a.
big kick against paying their assessments,
but most likely they will find out that thev
will have to pay. The great majority are
paying without a grnmble. Money is re-
| quired and those who are entitled to pay may
as well face the music first as last.
Yesterday morning Prof. c. V. Curtis. wife
and daughter, accompanied by nephew,
arrived home from the summer vacation.
| They take possession of the neat residence
next to Mr.. A. B. Easton's, corner of Third
and Pine streets As superintendent of
schools he could not have chosen better To-
cation. They are all much improved by their
| eastern visit.
Yesterday morning was a rather damp one
for the Crusaders picnic at Lake Elmo. AT
1886 quite number of the ladies' and chill
dren left for that point, and at 1910 the
main body went over. BY this time old Sol
had come out in all his glory, and the boys
looked well in their neat uniforms The
| picnic was complete success, they putting
| in fine time at the lake.
Mr.. Peter Porter, who lives at the corner of
Fifth and Elm streets, was severely injured
/ by falling down stairs on Saturday night 1t
appears he has been badly afflicted with
rheumatism for some time, and in going
down stairs in the night to open the door,
| he fell from the top to the bottom of the
stairs. His injuries are so severe that he is
under the care of the doctor.
On Wednesday evening, at the Grand
! Opera house, Prof. Well who led the orches-
/ ira for the Sol Smith Russell performance
| gives an entertainment. 1t will be some
| thing extra fine in the musical line, and as
1 he has come here to reside, and is getting up
a first class musical society. a full house
should be given him. AS a vocalist he has
1 few equals, and his solo will alone be worth
the admission fee. Let all lovers of good
music be present.
! In the window of Thomas Jason & Sons
harness depot is a curiosity in the shape of
a bride, made in Montana by the COWBOYS.
The headstall part is made of woven horse
hair, embellished by tassels of the same,
whilst the rein is plated whipthong. The
bit is a massive one, and such as win curb
any horse or break his jaw. There is large
/ ring which comes over the lower jaw and the
bit is the iointed pattern. Altogether, the
workmanship is of the best, ahd its strength
very great.
Mr. F. G. Norris, private secretary to Man
ager Stinson, of the Northwestern Manufac-
ing s. Car company, who had a few days.
/ vacation, and who with his wife and child
went to Duluth, returned yesterday, his wife
