In addition to the large amount of

perhaps is for the best in the end. for
when an epidemic rises in its might

most dangerous practice is permitted TO
continue, it will not become difficult TO
diagnose from whence comes all our
woes. In matter that so seriously
concerns the whole town, as this does
more attention should be paid to pre-
vent those who in risking the general
health continue TO deposit offal of ali
kinds within the town limits, either at
the above place or elsewhere Itshould
also be borne in mind that these Brick

BY the report of Gen. w. F. Smith,
of the coast survey, on our first page,
it will be seen that he recommends for
the improvement of Duck Creek the
sum of $4,000. As this is more than
has ever been asked for any work on
the creek, the estimate must cover
stone abutments or sand breaks Ofsome
kind at the mouth of the creek to keep
an open and unObstructed channel to
the bay. Any work that would stop
the filling in of the channel would be
a great desideratum to the commerce
of the creek.

Judge Cummins Case.

We have carefully refrained from
taking any part in the persecution of
Judge Cummius, which for several
weeks has been conducted by a paper
in Wilmington, and our reasons for so
doing have been two fold. In the first
place we have not, neither do we yet
believe, that the Judge has been guilty
of any criminal action, and secondly
we are certain that anything which has
or may be said which prevents him
meeting his obligations works a much
greater injury to his creditors than it
does to him. In this opinion we are
confirmed by the statement Of one of
his judgment creditors, who said re-
Gently that he regretted that any pub
licatiOn Of his affairs had been made,
as he believed it would be the means
of his losing at least a part of his
money. The Judge is to-day in a very
unfortunate position, but not more so
than scores of business men everywhere.
According to all accounts his liabilities
exceed his assets, and while he owns
property that is probably worth $40, 900
he owes, according to all accounts,
nearly 100000. OF the methods
which it is claimed he used to obtain
mortgages we have nothing to say, eX-
cept that we do not think he should be
tried by the newspapers. If he is guilty
of having wrOnged any one let the per-
sons so wrOnged take their case to the
courts, where it will be tried the same
as any other. We belive that if Judge
Cummins is offerded the opportunity
he will pay one hundred cents for
every dollar that he owes, but if he is
driven to the wall, as certain parties
tried to do, it will certainly not be in
his power to do so. If the Judge has
been guilty of any ofiense that incapac
itates him from sitting on the bench
the Legislature has ample powers tC
remove him, and until the serious
charges that have been made are prov
en- it is but just that there should be &
suspension of public opinion, as tn,
law considers every one innocent unit
the reverse is established. - WiImingtol

THE reports of the wheat crop, that
started out with poor predictions in
the early Summer, have been growing
better and better. Statistician Dodge
in his government crop report estimates
that this years yield of wheat will be
the largest on record, and that it will
exceed that of last year by 100000
bushels. He estimates that this years
crop will aggregate 4OS, 100000 bushels.

lion Happy Thought" from having
toe much mettle managed to get itself
into dangerous position on Sunday.
1t gave the unmistakabe horse lam
guage that it was tired of standing in
the stable and wanted to take a trOt,
so his driver, who came from S. B.
Richardson's stock farm and was con-
sidered somewhat of a Knight, ahoId
of the reins, took him out on the Pop
lar Grove course over the road behind
a trOtting sulky. Happy Thought"
wanted to 90 faster than his driver
thought was appropriate for a Sunday
trOt 50 he pulled on him hard enough
to break him up. Happy Thought
didn't know it was Sunday and lost his
temper, at which the driver got scared
and pulled him off to put him in the
stable until a week day when he might
go as fast as he pleased, but the horse
wanted to stick to the track. In the
contest between the two will powers,
the driver got the advantage enough
to bear him to the road but in turning
into it, ran over a bank, upsetting the
sulky and smashing a wheel. The dri-
yer didn't like to be seen riding into
town Sunday on a sulkey with only
one wheel, and he jumped of, so
Happy Thought" had the journey all
to himself and at his own speed. Just
how long he was in making the three
and half miles is not known, because

judges stand, but it is presumed was
somewhere near his record as a blooded
animal. He was unmolested on the
way and turned into Charley
Smiths stable yard just as he was in
the habit of doing in his usual visits to
town. He was bruised considerably
about the hind legs. He was hitched
up directly after, and driven back
home, had his wounds dressed and
given a good supper. Mr.. GOldsbor-
Ough holds him at high figure, and
regrets very much that Happy
Thought" didn't know better how to
behave himself on Sunday-like he
does other days OF the week.

was the Presidents vetoes of private

New Hampshire Senator a demagogue

that he would not shrink from anV

Mount Ayr last week and cashed sew

played his roll of money, amounting to
nearly $4,000. When within a short

a fatal wound in the abdomen. The

The summer or normal school for
teachers instituted by Superintendent
L. Irving Handy and Principal of our
Public Schools w. G. Lake commenced
on Monday under what might be con-
sidered the most favorable auspices of
success. Yesterday AZ had registered,
and there may be several more. The
course embraces the studies taught in
our public schools from reading and
writing to Latin and geometry. 1t is
no holiday affair: they are all here at a
sacrifice of both comfort and means to
put in solid work, and they are doing
it, even to the burning of the midnight

Preparing to Build a Million
Dollar Dock at West
Superior.

WEST SUPERIOR, Wis, Dec. 15-It has
been generally supposed for some time
that the Eastern Minnesota Railway COM
pany contemplated still further improve
ments Of valuable dock property which
they have acquired in this city the past
year, and it is now definitely known that
Dear & Hayes Of this city have secured
the contract to drive piling for the con
struction of what will be when completed
the largest coal dock on the chain of
lakes. It will be located on st. Louis
bay, just west of the Lehigh Coal and
Iron company's dock, where there is
available room fer railroad tracks. 1t is
understood that 15 miles of track will be
laid in carrying out their proposed plans,
which place the Eastern Minnesota
(practcally the Manitoba) in an enviable
position for their facilities for transfer by
rail in CONJUNCTION with the Northern
Steamship company.
1t is estimated that the capacity of the
dock will be 100000 tons and admit 13

ously. The dimensions Of this mammoth
dock will be water front of 800 feet ex-
tending back 1000 feet wide; slip suf-
ficiently wide to allow vessels to lie on
either side will extend through the CEN
ter and coal will be handled from both
sides, thereby deriving an advantage in
loading. The building Of this dock has
developed the fact that the Northwestern
Fuel company will transfer their interest
in Duluth to West Superior and have OBJ
tanned long lease Of the great dock.
They were induced to move from the
fact that the Manitoba railway reaches
the greater part Of the territory from
which they derive their business. The
dock will be supplied with masting
system of derricks, and will cost, when
completed, $1,OOO,00o. Work will be
commenced Immediately and an effort
made to have at least portion of it COM
pleted at the opening of navigation.
