lStiLL,rnter Notes.

Mrs. F. G. Morris, of this city,is in Duluth
visiting friends
| To-day there will be an exhibition game of
base ball at the new grounds at Leip's Park,
White Bear, between the Minneapolis and
| Saltwater clubs
Bay City team will play the Saltwater club
here on Monday. If our boys can only win
games from them then they may come to the
conclusion that they are not small potatoes.
They have crack team.
Miss BERTHE Norton, Miss Kate Cross and
Mr.. Norton Cross, of Minneapolis, have been
visiting during the week with Judge Muir
dock They left for home yesterday.
There will be no services in the Universal
lst church until further notice. The Rev.
M. Spafford left for his old home in Illinois
yesterday. We trust he will have every sue
cess wherever he goes.
The water is down to 8 feet inches above
low water, and falling. Some of the larger
steamers are finding some difficulty at the
head of the lake. and the G. B. Knapp, with
the excursion on the Fourth, hung aground
for short time at the island above the
city.
Those who attended the hop at the roller
skating rink on the evening of the Fourth
had most pleasant time. The music was
far ahead of anything heretofore presented
in this city. The rink was beautifully deco
rated, and the rows of lights and evergreens
blended in the finest harmony.
We are pleased to learn that Chas. Tart,
who some time ago was injured so severely
in the yard of the st. Paul 81 Duluth road
here, is progressing nicely, and will have
good use of his leg thatwas so badly crushed.
Only the best of medical treatment has led
to this result DR.. Willard, with DR.. Quinn
OF st. Paul. have had him in hand
| The Northwest Manufacturing and Car
company are moving considerable amount
of their plant from across the road into the
new shops in the prison yard, where the Or
ders now on hand will be completed, but all
new orders will be filed at the old workshops.
The new shops are very fine, with high cell
lngs and plenty of room. The windows are
large, giving excellent light and ventilation,
and the men will find this one of the best
arranged shops in which they ever worked.
Robt WEIGH, clerk with Clark & Davis, has
on exhibition, at their store, a silver cup won
as second prize for the 100 yards race, at
Barnes park, White Bear, on the Fourth. He
was only three feet behind Mayall, of st..
Paul, who was first. This was well done, as
in the morning he won, on the Saltwater
base ball grounds, the 100 yards race and
| also the potato race, and would no doubt
have taken first position had he had the least
| practice
The evening of the Fourth was held in
high carnival by many of the b'hoys, and
tange leg got the better Of many of them.
They did not care continental for any man
or the police either. Yesterday we heard a
number complain of very severe headaches.
No doubt the rain, which made them wet
outside, made them dry within, and they
wanted something to prevent them from
taking cold. However, many of them will
be glad the Fourth Of July comes but once a
year.
The county auditor yesterday morning paid
to Mr.. Isaac Staples the sum of 81, 900, being
the first payment on the purchase of Lilly
Lake driving park and exhibition grounds.
The property consists of 102 acres, with val
liable improvements thereon, and the price
agreed upon for it. SIC, 5000, will be found to
be money well laid out. 1t now remains for
the farmers and others in the county inter
ested, to make it one of the grand resorts for
the exhibition of stock, fancy articles and
everything else that can be made by the peo-
| Pile of this or any other state.
On the afternoon of the Fourth, in Buffalo
Bill's saloon on Main street, his bartender
was struck fearful blow with billiard cue
in the hands of a stranger, during a slight
dispute, infcting an ugly scalp wound which
bled profusely. The culprit, as soon as he
committed the deed, made tracks across the
river. He was half way across the bridge
before the police got on his track. He had
better give the city wide berth for some
time But of course he will be brought to
| justice.
The street commissioners are doing very
fairly considering the great number of streets
to which they have to attend. At the corner
of Willard and south Second there is de-
preston that will have to be either filed up or
cutting down of the street, so as to have
the water free passage. We understand the
subject of this improvement is before the
board. The streets require a considerable
amount of work on them, owing to the billy
nature of tina city, and we feel confident that
all the work possible will be done.
| The camping season has fairly begun, and
| quite number of our best citizens have gone
| to Comedian lake, which is a favorite resort
for camping, the location being easy of &C
cess The following are there at present:
Mr. and Mrs. j. H. Bromley, Mr.. and Mrs.
| w. C. Masterman, Mr.. and Mrs. R. s. Davis
| Mr.. and Mrs W. FL. Davis and child, Mr.. and
Mrs. f. NJ. Prince, Mr.. and Mrs. George
Prince, Misses Gertrude Easton, Nellie Cut
Ter, Mamie Clewell, Maggie Sheppard and
Mollie Robertson, and Messrs. Glenn Clark,
| C. L. Easton, Willie Prince, Chas. Travis
and W. G. Bronson, Jr. They will have a
pleasant time, and will be much benefited by
their vacation.
A dastardly outrage occurred on the Chi
cago, Milwaukee q st. Paul train which left
! St. Paul for Minneapolis at noon on the
among whom were some Saltwater gentle
men, boarded the train, taking the front car,
supposng it to be the smoker Several OF
them had cigars which they were smoking.
| brakeman came through the ear, inform
| ing the gentlemen that if they wished to
smoke they would have to take the rear car.
He then passed through, and soon the con-
ductor came, but by this time only few were
smoking. The conductor said that smoking
was not allowed in first class cars, and the
gentlemen assented to this and Immediately
allowed their cigars to go out. One gentle
man, however, kept his cigar in his mouth,
although it was not lighted, when the brake
man came into the car, went to the stove,
took up an iron poker some fifteen inches
long and nearly an inch through, slipped it
under his coat and walking up to the gentle
man who had the cigar in his mouth, said,

carp The gentleman said, ''the cigar is
out,'' whereupon the rufian struck the gen
