Ella June Meade gave two excel
lent entertainments in this city this
week. She is a woman of rare elocu-
tlonary gifts, with a sweet, clear and
powerful voice, which she keeps under
perfect control. Her echo powers
are simply perfection, and her mimic
ing is unexcelled. How Grant saw
ed the Union" was a grand piece, and
fitself was worth going miles to hear.
"W hich Ways Yo' erwin ter Coz"
and "Masse Jesus Tole me &c." two
soul stirring camp meeting hymns in
the Negro dialect, must be heard to
be appreciated. Miss Meade was as
sisted by Mrs e. G Chapman, late of
Minneapolis, who sang several songs.
Mrs. Chapman is the finest singer we
have heard in many day, and it was
great treat to all lovers Of song.
Mrs. Chapman now lives in Duluth
and has kindly volunteered to come
over and help us out on some future
occasion.
Miss Fanny Coburn presided at the
piano, and members of our local
church choirs rendered valuable as
istance in making the entertainments
the best ever given in Superior.

On the night of June 18th man
by the name of J. B. Henderson, mys-
teriously disappeared from Duluth.
The next day small boat was found
floating in the bay bottom side up,
and later hat was found in the water
near Minnesota Point, and this was
identified as belonging to Mr.. Hen
derson. When last seen the man was
pretty drunk and in bad company and
supposed to haye considerable money
on his person, and the natural conclu-
sion was that he had been murdered
for his money Mr.. j. IL. Murphy,
late of Chippewa Falls, now of Du-
luth, for whom Henderson had wrok-
ed for several years, took the case in
hand determined to sift the matter to
the bottom, and know if possible the
true fate of his friend, and to this end
spent much time and money in search
ing for the body but to no avail, Last
week Mr.. Stiles and wife, Jason Clark,
and Miss Philbrook went down the lake
to the mouth of the Aminicon river to
camp out for few days to hunt aud
fish. On Saturday while Mr.. Stiles
and Mr.. Clark we're out on the lake
in row boat, but only about twenty
rods from the shore, they discovered a
peculiar looking object floating in the
lake, and pulled up to it to see what
it was, when they found it to be the
body of a man. The body was towed
in to land and made secure and word
sent to coroner ]. d. Whitney of this
place and to Mr.. Murphy at Duluth.
The latter gentlemen got tug and
came over here and taking the coror-
ner and few friends started for the
Aminicon river at about four o'clock
Sunday morning. When the party
reached the body it was taken out of
the water and searched, and in the
pockets was found his valuable gold
watch with long chain about the neck,
and $1,000 in gold in the pockets. A
jury having been sworn the body was
as carefully inspected as could be in
its decomposed state but not the slight.
est trace Of violence could be found
upon it, and the verdict was accord
ingly, accidental drowning. 1t was
intended to bring the body to town for
burial, but on viewing the remains it
was found to be so badly decompose6
and offensive that it could not be
handled, and it was decided to bury it
there. A shanty near by furnished
good pine boards, and Mr.. Whitney,
who is also our city undertaken, made
a coffin, or box, the corpse was en-
yeloped in a clean new blanket and
put n the box, while others dug a
grave on pretty rise Of ground under
some beautiful pine trees, and there
the body of the unfortunate man was
laid away, all having been done for
him that could be done under the cir
cumstances. Mr.. Murphy took pos
session, with the consent Of the cor
oner, of the mans effects and will ac-
count for them, should they be called
for ,s
