A Tribute

to John Porter Ferns, for twenty years
Grand Tyler of the Masonic Grand Lodge
Of Illinois.
"God help the old Tylerl how long he has 'rudged
Through sunshine and storm with his summons
due.
No pain or fatigue old Uncle John has begrudg-
ed
To serve the Fraternity, Freemasons and you.
"God bless Uncle John how oft he has led
The funeral procession from lodge door to grave; ;
How grandly his weapon has guarded the dead
To their lat quiet home, where the acacia
boughs wave..
"God bless the old Tyerl how Oft he has knocked,
While vigilapt strangers craved welcome and
rest;
How widely your portals, though guarded and
locked,
Have swung to the signal the Tyler knows best.
There Ia Lodge whero the door Is not guarded
nor tyled,
There Is a land without graves, without mourn.
ing or sin;
There is Master most gracious, frsternal and
wise,
And he waits the old Tyler and bids him come
In.
"And then Uncle John, no longer outside.
No longer with weapon OF war in his hlGd,
gohfed spirit doth grandy abide,
And close by the Master high honored doth
stand"

ALMOST A CASE OF DEATH
An Unknown Man Becomes
Frantic With Grief,

All on Account Of Supposed swindle.
He Has Painting Spell at the Cor
ner OF Sixth Street and Commercial
Avenue.
Yesterday, at about o'clock p m, our
reporter was attracted by a large crowd of
people gathered at the corner of Sixth and
Commercial avenue, who seemed to be in
q state OF great excitement. On arriving vt
the scene, he beheld the PROSTATE body Of
we'll dressed man lying on the sidewalk.
Had il been in the warm summer months
he should have claimed il case of sun
str Ike, but yesterday being very cold day,
he was aware that such could not be the
case. On first impression, he thought the
man was corpse, but after investigation it
proved to be nothing but fainting spell.
Perchance, well known physician of this
city, happened to pass, and seeing the con-
dition of the man Immediately cared for
him. After good deal of exertion, he
was finally revived sufficient to stand erect
As soon as he became conscious of what
had happened, he made dash for large
bundle which he had dropped on the side
walk, clutching 1t with both hands, and, in
ptiful tone, cried, II have been swindled,
l have been swindled." When parties
questioned him as to what had happened,
he refused to say word, until an officer
thinking probably he had been robbed
threatened to arrest him unless he divulged
the truth. This had the desired effect, and
he gave the following facts:
HIS STORY.
The gentleman claims his name is John
Henry Calcium, and he resides at Padu-

purchase goods. He has always been in
the habit of entering first class establish

"MuldOOn's Picnic"

This is the last time we shall have an
opportunity to cell attention to "Muldoon's
Picnic" which will be held at the opera
house tomorrow night. Many of our cit-
zens have witnessed ii and unite in the as
sertion that it is simply irresistible. The
auditors are always on broad laugh or at
the verge Of sufiocation from laughter, and
not person has yet been known to desert
the audience until the curtain falls on the
last act. The educated donkey assists ma
tcrially in the general fun which prevails.
This company is the original one, and
the play will be produced here practically
as it was in New York and other eastern
cities.

How it Served Him.

Once upon a time cerain man got
mad at the editor and stopped his pa
per. The next week he sold his corn
at four cents below market price.
Then his property was sold for taxes,
because he didn't read the notice of
sale. He was arrested and fined for
going hunting on Sunday, simply be-
cause he did not know it was Sunday;
and he paid three hundred dollars for
lot of forged notes that had been
advertised two weeks, and the public
cautioned not to negotiate them. He
then paid man, with foot on him
like forge hammer to kick him all
the way to the newspaper Office
where he paid for four years in ad-
vance. and made the editor sign an
agreement to knock him down and
rob him if he ever stopped his paper
again. Such is life without news.

Green River and Antelope Valleys,
Stark County, Dakota.
DICKINSON. May 2. 1s

DICKINSON, May 2. 1884.
The country north and north east
OF here to Green river is remarkably
good. with very even surface and soil.
The valley is broken but little by the
bluffs and stream. The water is ex-
cellent; soft and clear. From the top
of a butte beyond the river, about
nine miles from here had an exten-
sive view of the country for many
miles on all sides and could trace the
valley until the stream united with
the Heart river, at Gladstone, ten
miles east, and could see the country
far beyond. There is plenty of va
cant land of good quality beyond the
river, also much on the south side, to
the west.
My trip to Antelope creek yester-
day was very pleasant. Mr.. Dobson,
from Plattsburg, N. Y, has located /.
claim on the creek, that is remark
ably well adapted to dairy purposes.
He has comfortable house and sta
BILE and other Improvements, and had
two teams at work tilling his last
years breaking. 1 noticed one pair
of light ponies backsetting about or
6 inches deep, that seemed ablet2 do
one and a half to two acres day.
He has a fine young orchard of apples
and pears and a variety of small fruits
growing. There are some fine springs
OF water in the low bluff convenient
to house and stable, with one dug out
preparatory to erecting milk house.
Mr.. ID. is not one of the sore toed ten
derfeet who say can't; but a man who
will succeed. Mr.. Crawford has a
fine claim adjoining, that has fine
coal vein in the creek bluff. The
stream is small, but constant and sup
piled with pure water by the numer-
GUS springs which abound in it's low
bluffs. The bottom land is nice, and
not liable to overflow, as the days
of heavy rain just over, was all alb
sorbed and did not affect the stream,
but is held by the clay sub-soil, with.
in 3115 feet of the surface of the soil
where it fell for future use by the
grass and plants, leaving the surface
in good order for culture. From the
top of butte near Mr.. Crawford's,
had the most enchanting landscape
view have ever seen. The soil is
all good for miles around and the
view unobstructed to Rainy buttes,
Is miles south west, and buttes more
to the south could be seen at so miles
distance. 10 the south east several
miles away were quite number of
small conical points apparently 20 to
10 feet high dotted around the suf-
face of the level or undulating prairie.
Dickinson, and the Heart valley could
be seen for many miles east and west
llso the land for some distance north
Of Green river. 10 the west the bad
lands of South Heart were in plain
sight, about 20 miles away, which
was about the distance to the horizon
in all directions. What grand sight
it will be in clear weather when the
whole country is cultivated and dot
ted with happy homes, orchards and
groves.

The Superior times. [volume] (Superior, Wis.) 1870-1912, 1884-07-12

The Duluth papers, in order to
lengthen out their marine notes, and
to give outsiders the impression that
there is no other port at the head OF
the lake only Duluth, report the ar
rivals at Superior but do not give the
credit to Superior. As a sample of the
way they do it, we clip the following
from the Herald of Thursday:
"The George I. Hope, 1.-The Jumbo
of the Lakes" arrived at South Du-
Iuth yesterday with coal for the st.
Paul & Pacific Coal company. She
came in by way of the Superior entry.
The Hope was drawing - feet s
inches of water. She is the largest
boat on the lakes. She had one con-
sort in tow"
The reader will bear in mind that
there Is no such place as South Du-
luth," and further, that the Hope,
drawing water as above recorded, could
not get into the Duluth harbor even
if she wanted to. But it hurts the
BOYS across the bay to see such crafts
coming into Superior, and they must
lie little about it, or ''bust their
biler.

The Dulnth Tribune takes II

The Duluth. Tribune takes It's
medicine and dies easy (?) 1t says
there is no room for more railroads in
Duluth, and that making terminal
facilities IN Superior, over in Wiscon-
sin is just what is needed TO make Du-
luth grow TO immense proportions, Of
course assuming that all the business
and growth of Superior and Wiscon-
sin is to be called South Duluth.
If the Tribune is so perfectly satisfied
to have all her great railroad schemes
end at Superior, we certainly are.
Were it not for her imperfect land tit
les and enormous local debt, Duluth
might, in the near future, make a rea-
sonably fair addition to Superior, to
be known as North Superior but al
present we think it advisable to retain
our distinct identity and confine our
selves to our own territory.

The Duluth Tribune Of the St

The Duluth Tribune of the 9Th
furnishes the following items:
John Lyske, Polish boy who car
ried water on the coal dock Of the
Ohio Central Barge and Coal Com
pany was missing since last Wednes-
day noOa. Mr.. Anderson, foreman on
the dock, found the boys body float
ing in the water about II o'clock Fri
day forenoon. Coroner Thompson
was notified, but considered no in
quest necessary. The remains were
taken to the fathers home at Rice's
Point, and buried in the Polish Gem
etery at 9 o'clock yesterday.
Mrs. VIM. Waters died very sud-
denly at her home on Minnesota Point
on the night Of the Fourth. The
death was so sudden that Officer Pas
toret notified Coroner Thompson, who
went to the house with DR.. McCor-
mick. Though no inquest was held,
several witnesses were examined, their
testimony going to show that death
was fastened by the Incorporate use
of intoxicating liqour. The remains
Will be buried at Superior.

The fine bed quilt put up by the
ladies of the NJ. L. Aid society at their
bazaar on the fourth, to be given by
vote to the most popular lady in Su-
perior was won by Mrs. Neil Smith,
which shows excellent judgment on
the part of the voters. The scheme
brought the society about SO, which,
with their other sources Of revenue
left them, after all bills were paid,
$1,000 in hand. This sum would
haye been greatly increased had the
rain not compelled them to close their
doors for the evening. All things con-
sidered they did well, and they re
turn thanks to all for the liberal pat
ronage given them.
