assistane county treasurer, is not only
a good book keeper, but she is also
I good at fishing and 50 far as We can
/ learn she heads the list for the best
catch of the season among the Lady
| anglers. She made one of a party who
spent last Saturday at White Birch,
when she caught in the beautiful Lake
st. CroiX a pickle: ell which weighed 10
pounds and p pound bass, besides
several smaller fry" Laura's hair
| didn't stand on end any but that pea
| cock feather in her hat waved pretty
high as she exhibited her catch to adj
miring friends. The rest of the party
did farely we'll and all enjoyed the day
hugely.
The Coal men have got strong
combine. No man can sell coal in SUI
perior unless he joins the ring, and
then he has to put up 800 as a forfeit
if he sells even ton for cent less
and all other lines of trade, it makes no
difference whether YOU buy one ton or
hundred tons. it is all one price, 81
per ton. This gives the coal dealers of
Superior clear profit of $500 per
ton, and is clearly case of combine
to rob the people, and ought to be pun
ishable by law as a misdemeanor at
least
The plans fixed upon by the COM
misSioners for the harbor improve
ments have been submitted to Capt.
Fisk, of Duluth, the local government
engineer for this district, for his in
spection and they have been fully ap-
proved by him. The next step is TO
lay the whole matter before the City
Council for its approval which will
come at its next regular meeting next
Tuesday evening. IT the council ap-
proves the plans, which it probably
will do, the work of dredging the main
channel will be commenced at once.
N-The ladies of the West End w c.
T. t., have decided to issue 4 weekly
paper, to be called The LedreR,' the
first number of which will appear to-
day. 1t Is possible that more temper
ance literature is needed, but this point
! is at least debateable, and we think
the money and labor spent in this chan
mel in Superior would produce better
results if spent in some ether channel.
However there is no school like that of
experience and perhaps it is just as well
to have the experiment made now as at
any time.
The thunder storm Of last Monday
will 90 on record as one of the most
severe of this season. The worst of
the storm was at the West End where
one house was struck by lightning but
no one hurt. The telephone wires
were burned out and the electric ears
laid off for some time. For a few min
utes the wind blew almost q gale and
the water fell in binding sheets, and
for time all business was suspended.
The storm was far reaching and the
timber and prairie fires ware all put
out.
The publishers OF Grams "Cnriv
aled Atlas" have decided to show maps
of Superior and Dul!.th III the future
editions of this work, together with 10
of the largest cities i'll the United
! States. In consideration OF the favor
shown our city, which will be the
smallest shown in the Atlas, our citi
zens should show their appreciation by
ordering copy Of the new edition of
the Atlas. Mr.. J. IL. Gray viii be
pleased to show all The work.
Dave Morrison, one of our BARRIERS,
and \. G. Warren, Of NJ. Whitney's
undertaking establishment were out
on the bay last Monday Ill the yacht
Louie, when the gale struck the city,
and before they could take in sail the
craft was blown over and the boys
were looking for McGinty The cap
sise was witnessed by the tugs Emer-
ron and y ellie Cotton, and both went
without serious results.
We are in receipt of the following

THE Nelson Dewey school rooms
are not sufficient to hold all the schol-
ars, and the store room at the corner
of Becker avenue and Eighth street
has been rented and Will be fitted up
for the overflow Of scholars. We Will
have to have another new building
put UP next season sure, and the foun-
dations ought to be put i'll this fall SO
that the building will surely be ready
for occupancy for the next school
year.
If the labor organizations of this
city would strike at the iniquity OF
the coal dealers ring, instead of
hours work for 10 hours pay, they
would dave the hearty support of all
the people, except the coal men. We
! like to see every tradesman make a
! fair profit on his goods-thiS is neces-
sary to IA successful business career
| bat $500 profit is too much to make
on a ton of coal.
Carpenter & Clark, the hardware
men located in the Descent Block
haue concluded to return to Hayward,
and to that end have packed up their
goods and will probably leave us next
week. We regret that these gentle
