The city is being we'll supplied with vegetables,
fruit and other eatables by the farmers in this
vicinity, who show themselves frst-class gar
deners.
Messrs. Burns & Gorham, coal dealers, have
number of cars of coal here on the track, being
part of the supply for the public schools and the
Sawyer house.

the different rooms at the prison for the purpose
OF rendering for the steam heating apparatus.
There will be plenty of competition.

understand the challenge will be accepted.
Mrs. Chas. Mcmillan arrived here yesterday
morning from three weeks visit at Bronson,
Mimi, with Mr. and Mrs. Staples. She was
much pleased with her visit, and had pleasant
time.
Capt. Ben. Knapp reports the water as rising
rapidly up the river caused by the late heavy
rains. He also reports travel as good and ex
poets big boom when he gets his new steamer
on the route.
The carpenters have begun the alteration of
the front of Mr.. Isaac Staples old store, and the

brought down from the prison yesterday, being

when the police were bringing him in, and yes
terday morning he looked exceedingly woe be-
gone He got seven days.
Mr.. NJ. Gillespie is erecting his coal sheds
near the foot of Myrtle street, beside the en-
CINE house of the Duluth railway. The frame
for his weigh scales was yesterday put in posi-
ton, and he is getting ready for business.
The water at this point is still increasing and
has now got to TWO feet five inches above low
water mark. This is rendering navigation easy.
and large steamers will soon be able to take out
full RATS, and will enliven the log and lumber
markets.
The people here many of whom were ac-
quainted with the late DR.. Stewart, of St. Paul,
were sorrowing over his death yesterday, and

brance by many.
Several parties who accompanied the excursion
W
home by train last evening The Patriarcha
circle may be congratulated on their success, as
the excursion was one of the largest that has
been here this year.
The report that the raft of the steamer Evans
vile had been broken up in Lake Pepin by Sun
day nights storm, is we glad to say, not
true. Yesterday Matt Clark got telegram from
the boat that everything was all right. A few
logs may have got adrift, but they were readily
picked up.
The Luella arrived yesterday with very large
excursion from Red Wing, Hastings, and other
ports 1t was general picnic, and those COM

greater part of them went to the prison to get q
view of those who are there at work.
Mine Host Bowen, of Elmo lodge, Lake Elmo,
was in the city yesterday. He reports business
brisk and lots of picnics at the lake this season.
The house is well filed and number have signed
to stop until October Is. The latest arrival is Il
party from Mobile, Ala, whilst others have
lately arrived from different points south. The
season has been much better than expected The
late rains have freshened things mp, and the
guests are enjoying themselves.
The streets yesterday were thronged, and it
looks as if times had changed for the better.
The merchants appear to be busy, and if one
may judge from the large bundle of goods going
out, brisk trade must be doing. The selling
out by the c. n. Nelson Lumber company, of
the goods in their store, appears to have awakened
the people to buying, and the cash is ready for
the goods We trust such a boom will increase,
and that there will be large fall trade.
The new steamer being built for Capt Knapp
is to be called the Cleyon. She is 1870 feet in
length, with beam of % feet and having a
draught of sixteen inches. She will be excel
enty fitted up, and will have quite a number of
staterooms. She is built chiefly for the excur-
sion business and is far superior to any of the
| many boats built by Capt. Knapp. Her great
| width and length will make her particularly safe,
and her light draught gives her the advantage in
landing her passengers at almost any point. She
| will be ready for operation in u week or two.
| Yesterday there were large arrivals of wheat
| from the Wisconsin side of the lake, and the
| buyers were busy, Messrs. Brush and Master
man receiving theirs at the Florence mill, and on
| the track, near Main street, and Mr.. j. H..
| Townshend on the freight shed platform This
| is making things look lively, but would like
! so much to see the three Touring mills in full
! operation. Why not manufacture and ship from
| here instead of the wheat going to Minneapolis
| and being ground there and then shipped. The
| Florence mill will start on Sept. IS, but at pres
| ent cannot say under what auspices.
Mr.. Parmelee informs US that the roller skating
rink will be completed and reopened on Thurs
| day evening" when it is expected the citizens
will be out in full force. All anxious for the
| exherating exercise which may be got here
| and where the very best of order and care is
| taken. The rink closes sharp at the hour adver-
| tised, and the hour Of getting home is made
| tain The public will have the chance of seeing
| the handsomest and best fitted up skating rink
in the northwest, and one that is a credit to the
! liberality of the proprietors. 1t has been well
patronized in the past, owing to the excellent
management and in the future, no doubt, that
patronage viii be increased.

ment feet to work on the dam at Hudson as well
as to remove the bar at the mouth of Willow
river He will have the steam driver at work, at
Huds on. and the piling will be gone ahead with
as rapidly as possible. Cat Fish bar is being
