Alderman Bardon handed in his res
i gnatiOn rs senior alderman from the
First ward, last Tuesday evening, but
there being no quorum present it was
not acted upon. At the meeting Of
the council Wednesday evening his
resignation was accepted and the
Mayor sent in the name of Judge D.
+. Roberts as his successor by appoint
ment. This brought forth a howl of
Indignation from the West End clau-
uerS and they entered a protest, simp-
" and purely on the grounds that
they presumed that Mr. Roberts was a
personal friend of Mayor pattison.
And do the extremely long cared quad
rupeds of the West End suppose for
moment that Mayor Pattlson is such a
consummate fool as to appoint per-
sonal enemy to such a place: 1t is a
burning shame that our city is in the
control 50 largely of such narrow
minded. contemplate beings. In the
vote on confirmation all the council
was not present, but Mr.. Roberts re-
ceiyed a majority of those present and
was declared elected by the mayor.
The West End hoodlums entered a
protest and there the matter stands.
MI Roberts can safely consider him
self an alderman from the First ward.

The West End Opera House was
thrown open last Sunday evening to a
low, vulgar, bare legged show, unfit
for public exhibition in any commu-
nifty, on any night of the week. This
season the Land Company of the West
End has seemed determined to dis
grace the city in every way and to the
fullest extent of Its power It's own
organ, the Telegram, has advocated
and encouraged every species of Sab
bath breaking, while the company has
furnished the money for all the Sun
day ball games, sparring matches, etc.
Gamblers and prostitutes have been
encouraged to flaunt their shame and
ply their prOfes on on the very
streets of the city, and now to cap the
climax. the company has thrown open
its handsome new opera hall to low
down theatrical entert ailments tor
Sunday evenings. Tyrants can tramp
lie on their subjects only for a time
and to a limited extent, for the time
will come when the meaneSt Serf Will
turn and strike back. The people of
Superior have stood all the indignities
heaped upon them until this last and a
vigorous protest has gone up against
this violation of Sunday law and NOR
al decency. The people can protect
themselves if they will, and it begins

THE SHIRT ON WRONG.

How Lincoln Won a Case. Owing
to the Mistake of His Opponent.
Chicago News.
THAT the most learned may some
times be mistaken was probably never
more humorously illustrated than by
Abraham Lincoln during trial in
court of this State,'' said Luther Latin
Mills one afternoon not long ago. when
he apparently had nothing better to do
than amuSe several friends by his story
telling talent.
Everybody has heard of Stephen T E.
Logan, the famous attorney, who was
once partner OF Lincoln, but who has
long since slept with his fathers. Logan
was eccentric to fault. One of his
peeuliarities was to never wear collar
or necktie. No matter how great the
occasion he would not dress up or don a
boiled shirt. This was often cause
of =, embarrassment to Logan's five
daughters, who were prominent in So
ciety.
Toward the last of his career Logan
was engaged for the defense in cele-
brated case, in which Abraham Lincoln
prosecuted. The day of the closing
arguments would be great occasion,
the court room would be crowded, and
the Logan girls wanted their father to
look nice. So they bought him dozen
white shirts and placed them on his
bureau. Then they pleaded so hard
that the old man consented to wear one
next day.
Logan, never having had shirt of
that kind on Hbefore, got the bosom
behind and the buttons in front. But
toning his coat close up to his chin he
went to the court house. The girls did
not see their father before he started,
and any body else who met him did not
notice his shirt, because he usually
dressed so slovenly that they probably
noticed no difference in his appearance.
in court, however, the attorney
opened his coat, and Lincoln. always
ready to notice anything of the kind,
saw the old man had made mistake.
During his address the future president
spoke of the possibility of MIR. Logan
being mistaken when he believed his
client to be innocent.
1.-THE best men,, said he, ARE often
mistaken. Possibly you, gentlemen of
the jury, will not believe me when say
my learned friend there has made mis-
take to-day, yet he believes he is all
right. He has, nevertheless, put his
shirt on wrong side front, and if you
tap him on the back you will find / am
right From that day until his death,
it is said. Stephen Logan never again
put on boiled shirt"
