The following statement taken from
the report Of the deputy collector for
the season Just closed furnishes an idea
of the rapid growth of Superior's lake
traffic since 1884. Season of 1854 the
value of Superiors lake traffic, $484 305;
1885, 1884 sos; 1886, $8,253, PAS; 1887.
$4 725, Sid; 1883, 49, 836 ,461; 1889, $28,-
1868, 73O; 1890, $43, 295, 040. For the
season ending Nov. 80, 1890, Duluth
shipped by lake 6,358,S80 bushels Of
wheat while Superior sent out 10, 1856 270
bushels. During the safne perlod gu
per1or received 1,045, 900 tons coal while
Duluth received but 1896 tons.
Superior has completely knocked Duluth
out on every point the past season and
yet one can quite frequently hear some
cliff dweller declaring that Superior 10
but suburb Of Duluth. The year just
passed has been one Of wonderful and
substantial growth for Superior. Ano-
Their evidence Of the rapid growth Of
West Superior is found in the increase
in the receipts Of the post office for 1890
over those for 1889; 1890 bring about
$40. 600 while those Of 1889 we're less
than $10,Oo0.

The monetary situation is als solearer.
Foreign needs appear less nfpent, and
dangerous and successful resistance to
American demands for gold is dinin-
ished. The removal Of GERM ,aibi-
ton of American pork imporAt pA misses
a largely increased demand for inn
portant products and considerable
addition to merchandise exports for the

past five weeks exceed last years nearly
81 per cent and while imports also in
creased largely, the balance of trade
turns decidedly in favor of the United
States. Injury to cotton may also hasten
imports of that product, which foreign
operators, knowing of the large stocks

ports from other cities express increased

Surprised the Old Folks

MILWAUKEE, Sept. 5.-An evening
paper states that the authorized an
nouncement of the marriage of Miss
Gertrude Potter, daughter of the Chi
cago millionaire iron man, to F. Lee
Rust, son of the Eau Claire lumber man
of that name, has just been made here
The pair, it is claimed. were married on
the quiet at Geneva Lake in June last,
and left for Europe, where they are now
spending their honeymoon. The par
ents of both of the contracting parties
are said to be ignorant of the union,
and had planned to formally
celebrate the event this fall. Miss
Potter has gained no little notoriety on
account of an early love affair with a
Chicago newsboy which was declared
off by her parents. The young Rust
has been student at Beloit College and
is about 20 years old. The parents of
the young lady are expected to reach
Chicago tonight and until their arrival
it is impossible to verify the story of the
clandestine marriage.

Gone to Smash.

CHICAGO, Sept. 4.-B. F. Page & Co.,
lard refners in this city, assigned today
to Frank S. Frederick for the benefit Of
their creditors. The assets consist OF
stock for $25, 900 and bonds for $4,000,
and number of outstanding accounts.
The liabilities amount to 100000. The
assignment was caused by the recent
failures of the Columbia Oil Co., which
was organized three months ago with a
capital of 81, 900. 900 for the purpose of
buying out B. +. Page & Co., the Dia
mond Hull Oil Go. and the Diamond
Feed Mill Manufacturing Co. Itcalried
out its object, but met with defeat. The
Page Co. was purchased for $205, 1000
worth of stock of the Columbia Go. and
mortgage bonds of $4,000. It did not
assume the debts of the Page Co., which
the latter sought to liquidate with out.

ceased to do business it was discovered
thai it's accounts would not cover its in.
debtedness. and when the Columbia
Oil Go. failed on account of inability to
place its stock and bonds, the assets of

consequently pushed to the wall.

Barring Attempt Mt Jail Delivery.

SAN Francisco, Sept. GA daring
plot to break from the state prison at
San Quentin has been frustrated. Seven
of the most desperate among the 1900
convicts have been. placed in solitary
cells, closely guarded while u
number of others are being
especially watched. They propose to
release all convicts. It is believed out.
siders were to be in waiting with arms
and desperate fight would certainly
have resulted from an attempt at recap
ture. The plot was detected by guard
overhearing certain words that aroused
suspicion. Men were watched, and
gradually the names Of the leaders were
learned. For three weeks the warden has
been prepared for the outbreak. When
the crisis was thought to be at hand the
leaders were quietly arrested and lodged
in solitary cells. No arms or tools have
been found except skeleton key, but
as there are factories, machine and car
penter shops, etc., inside the walls of
the prison it would be easy to conceal
them for quite while.

The West Superior Committee.

GRAND FORKS, N. D., Sept 3.-The
committee from West Superior which is
visiting North Dakota to talk over the
elevator question, held meeting here
today.with some members of the board
of trade and other citizens. Railroad
Commissioner Walsh, who was present,
stated the object of the meeting to be to
find out whether any plan could be de.
vised by which North Dakota wheat
could be placed upon the markets of
the world as distinct article, in order
that its superiority over the No. hard
wheat of other states might be recog-
nized, and the increased price it would
bring might be secured to the farmers
of North Dakota The committee from
West Superior had no definite PROPOSE
ton to make as to how this desirable
result was to be broughtabout, and opin-
ion here is divided as to whether any
benefit can be derived from the scheme,
except by the commission merchants of
West Superior, who are getting lots of
free advertising.
A committee was finally appointed,
who will meet with the Fargo commit
tee at some time in the future and talk
matters over further. The West Su-
perior gentlemen left for home this
evening

A Horrible Crime Discovered.

He ran over and found the house rapidly

the bodies of the two girls, both dead.

bodies could not be rescued. The girls
had undoubtedly been murdered, after
which the house was set on fire. The
family was very respectable one.
