tooth pulled by local dentist. He
started for the camp Friday, but did
not arrive, and Saturday afternoon q
teamster found his body under snow
drift on the highway about fifteen miles
from Duluth. About IL o'clock Satur-
day he called at farm house about
eleven miles out and asked for food.

years old.

A TELEPHONE WAR.
Duluth and Superior are in trouble
now, this time on the telephone eX-
change. The Duluth Telephone COM
pany own the Bell franchise for both
Duluth and Superior. Superior people
formed a local company to use the
Cushman telephone. The Bell COM
pany sued the Superior company for
using the Cushman talent, Superior
thought Duluth was responsible for this
suit and the village board of Superior
ordered the Duluth company to take
out their poles or they would be cut
down. To-day the Duluth company Sc
cured an injunction in the Wisconsin
court restraining the village of Superior
from touching their poles or lines, and
the battle waXeth hot.

THE OLD COUNCIL.
The old city council steps down and
out tonight. Tomorrow evening the
mayor and six aldermen will be sworn
in by the city clerk. Shortly after will
come the question whether the city
clerk will be asked to step out, and il
this be the outcome the city clerk will
undoubtedly swear without having any
one to swear in. Still, City Clerk Bud
der has made capable official, and if
he be removed it will be on per-
Sonal grounds altogether. But the
old city council should not be allowed
to take its departure without record.
and that they do retire with laurels no
one will question-Rre Aid. Bunnell,
Aid. Howard, Aid. DOugherty, Aid.
Eaton, Aid. Armstrong and Aid. Lester.
Aid. Bunnell generally occupied the
chair on the left of President Kendall,
the post of honor as it were, and when
he stood on his feet to discuss important
municipal questions, gracefully stroked
his terra Gotta whiskers and became
grandiloquent on the subject of REL
trenchment in city expenses, his
opinions generally had weight. Aid.
Howard a speciality on city ordinances
for the suppression of steam whistles in
the harbor. Aid. Doughterty is an ex-
cellent Democrat, and like his illus
trious prototype "Mike Daugherty," of
Boston, runs things to suit himself
occasionally. The local Daugherty
could never be made the hero of a
Faneuil hall story, however, at least
that one where the enthusiastic
speaker at the Club" two years ago
this 18th of March coming, said: Fan
euel hall is full tonight and so Is Mich
man is not built that way. Aid. Eaton
is the wit of the council; everything
looks funny to him, and he has the fuc-
ulty of making things look funny to
every one else. Aid. Armstrong is the
obstructionist; kicking is his business.
Aid. Lester would blush if he were ac-
cused of any distinction. President
Kendall smiles very rarely, but will take
ga little ApOllinaris, If you please"
Yes, the old cOuncilmen step out to-day;
they take with them the assurance Of
their successors most distinguished con-
sideration, and may their shadows never
grow less.

one can know now, boom story. But that
