train came along, he being under the
influence of liquor at the time, took
that train The conductor put him
off that train when it reached the East
End station, and Mr.. Ilannon has not
been seen or heard from since He
had about So 900 Oh his erson when he
left home, and as he had no known
cause for deserving his wife and child,

to fathom the mystery.
A probably fatal stabbing affair
took place N McLeod's saloon, corner
! of Tower avenue and Third street,
West End, last Wednesday evening,
when Patrick German stabbed Mike
! Sullivan, at least the injured man says
1t was German who did the bloody
work. Medical examination disclosed
a fearful cash IN the lower abdomen,
a little to the left side. The intestines
were opened and protruded through
the wound. Sullivan was taken to the
hospital and at this writing, Friday
noon, he is still alive, but he has hard
~ one chance in hundred for recov-
cry. German is under arrest, and
stoutly denies that he struck the fear
full blow.
When city or corporation of
any kind takes property from the peo-
! pie under condemnation proceedings,
/ there is always more or less "kicking,'
generally more. There has been no
failure of this rule in our city this
week, where the Park Commissioners
are taking town lots by the wholesale
and also fixing the prices for the same.
We understand that much of the prop
erty taken, especially in Ely's addition
has been assessed at about one-third
less than what it has been actually
selling for within the past sixty days.
1t seems silly to make such awards, as
appeals will surely be taken, and no
court would have the hardihoOd TO
sustain such manifest injustice. Don't
rob the settler, gentlemen, for the
| sake of getting park cheap.
What does the Leader man get
i for claiming to be well done, some of
the worst street paving ever unloaded
on a suffering people? No other peo-
pie would stand such an imposition
and no other board of public works
i ever yet created would accept or allow
such work to be done as has been done
this year. The property owners are
taxed for good work ane next year
will be taxed again for the virtual re-
! building of these same roads. Our
property owners are willing to pay
good price for good job of paving,
but it is high time that they should
refuse to pay 4 big price for mighty
poor job.
. deputy Collector Street gives it
out to the Telegram people that the
valuation of all shipping at this port
for the past year will be not less than
$50, 100000. This would give us an
increase of about 81 1909, 900 over the
previous year, which is better show
ing than can be given by any otEer
, city along the whole chain of Lakes.

AT the meeting of the council
Monday evening a petition was pre-
scented asking that some steps be
taken to suppress the evil of gambling
and the houses of prostitution. But
as Our officials almost without excep-
ton think that these institutions of
vice are necessary to the good stand
ing of the city nothing will be done.
John Walker thinks it is time
something was done to make Second
street keep pace with the rest of the
town and he will cXcavate this fall
and next spring erect a nice business
block near the corner of Second street
and Thompson avenue. Go thou and
do Likewise if you have any property
on that street.
Miss c. f. Lectra takes pleasure
in announcing to the ladies of Supe-
rior that she Will be located in her
new dressmaking parlors at So Tower
avenue, where she will be pleased to
see her old customers and as many
new ones as wish for first class work
