Ashland is the seat of the old Su-


During the Cleveland administration
this lumber company was the cause of
numerous scandals, in which Villas and
Knight both were seriously involved,
especially the former by reason of his
high position in the cabinet and the
well known operations of the lumber
company's agents upon Indian lands.
Finally Villas and Knight sold out at a
high figure, but the decision of Justice
Harlan in the United States court on
Monday knocks the purchasers out of
millions of pine that they supposed
they had legally and properly acquired
from these distinguished democratic
politicians 1t is possible that there
will be on hand pretty soon something
liyelier than the Bennett law to en-
gage the attention of Col. Villas and
his wicked partner, Knight. -Evening

Last Monday three West End
kids, r. II. Wright, Bert Kennedy,
and Albert Shafer, armed with guns,
reyosyers, few traps and about TWEEN
| ty-tiye dollars in money, skipped out
without giving any previous notice to
their parents. At this writing no
trace of the boys has been obtained.
The boys are causing too indulgent
parents great deal of worry and
many sleepiess nights, and a good pun
ishment for them would be to have
them get thoroughly lost in the woods
| for about three days. We think they
would be content to stay at home
when they got there. The oldest OF
! the trio is but about IA years of age.
T. S.-The kids have been found by
Mr.. Wright and returned to their re-
spective homes.
Sewer and street Improvement
, bonds were sold by the board of public
works on Tuesday to the amount of
Sill ,2lS.65. The purchasers were S. a.
hean & Co., of Chicago, and w. j.
AayeS & Son, of Cleveland, and the
price paid was par and 800 additional.
Local bankers consider that in view of
the prevailing stringency in the money
market, the city made a good bargain.
The bonds are to be delivered in three
installments: 100000 Oct. /; $780,
900 Nov. /; and the balance of the
block Dec. /. This will supply the
treasury with funds for improvement
purposes somewhat more rapidly than
! they will be needed so that immunity
from an empty eXchequer is assured.
| j. II. Johnson, the Tower avenue
druggist, met with a painful and per-
iiaps serious accident the fore part of
the week. He was pouring water
| into 4 can of carbolic acid which had
just been opened, when a quantity
flew up in his face. Mr. Johnson had
presence of mind enough to grab up
bottle OF glycerine and pour over his
face. lie theI ran into the grocery
store next door and sent for DR.. l.. B.
| Shehan. 1t was found that Mr.. John
sons face was badly burned. His eyes
are injured, but he Will probably not
! lose either Of hem.
E Y Mundy is still alive as we go
| to press Friday noon, but he cannot
recover, and Will probably die within
the next twenty four hours. 1t is a
very sad case indeed. He has never
for a moment regained consciousness
since the fatal blow was struck. In
his death the men connected with the
affair should read a temperance lecture
which would haunt them through life
and make even good third party
men of them. Whisky, the whisky
maker and the whisky dealer, more
than Mr. Dwyer, even, is responsible
for Mr.. Mundy's death.
We regret to announce that our
into one or two families in rather
mild form so that medical aid was not
called. These children kept right on
going to school SO that the parochial
and public schools are both thoroughly
inoculated with the disease. A few
of the cases have been pretty severe,
and one of these is that of Rlanch, the
five year old daughter of Dr. Ii. E.
Laflitte.
The ferryboat Superior, built at
the Cleveland Drydock company yard
for the Duluth and Superior Steam
ship company, was launched on Satur-
day. The Superior is similar to the
ferryboat Duluth, now in service be-
tween this port and Duluth. Her di-
mansions are as follows: Length over
all 100 feet, length of keel So feet,
beam So feet.
Some unknown parties who had
not the fear of God or man in their
hearts, went through the back window
of Mr.. Bishoff'S hardware store last
Sunday night and helped themselves
to seven good revolvers. Nothing else
IN the store vas moleSted. The Win
dow was pried up until the fastening
broke and then all the rest was easy
Mr.. Nephew Of Maple (or Little
Canada) in this county, brought to
town with him one day this week a
sample of beets grown in his garden
this season. One of them which we
saw was about twelve inches long and
weighed Il pounds. This is great
country for vegetables; all that is
needed is to grow more of them.
