The business of the post-oilice here
has so largely increased that though
the room occupied was recently doubl-
ed in floor space still more room is re-
quired and the government has been
offered its choice of three different
desirable locations, containing all
needed accommodations rent free for
a term of five years. A decision will
probably soon be reached.
An interesting cOncomitant of the
reunion of the Northwestern Wiscon-
sin VetelaAs' Association to be- held
here in July will be the annual en-
campment of the uniform rank of the
order of Knights of Pythias. 1t is
expected that every Division in Wis.
consin will be present and at least
three Divisions from Duluth who have
been invited to participate. Thous-
ands of plumed knights will form the
grand parade and in their fine uni
forms, proficient in drill, will present
an imposing appearance. Arrange
mentS for the encaT1pment are being
superintendent by Lieutenant Colonel
III. A. George, of Allonez Division,
the first one organized in this city,
and his well known ability as an ex
ecutive officer is a sufficient guarantee
that all things will be in readiness for
a cordial and appropriate reception of
visiting Sir knights. Should the
weaG cher clerk smile benignantly upon
as the first week in July will be big
one for SUPERIOR.
c. Ii. Crownhart, formerly of Els
worth, while filling the position of
Deputy Clerk of the Circuit Court in
very acceptable manner is storing
his mind with valuable law points
brought out by distinguished attor-
neys practicing in this court and when
he lays aside his official title he will
be better than ever prepared for his
chosen profess ion.
One of the most interesting and i'm.
portant will cases ever brought before
the courts of Wisconsin was that re-
sulting from an application to have
the will of the late E. V. Mundy of
this CITY admitted to probate. 1t was
case of especial interest because of
the peculiar circumstances surround
ing it, and important for the reason
that large interests were involved.
The will was contested with great
tenacity and after a warm struggle
was admitted to probate by Judge
Roberts in an exhaustive review of
the case. Ross, Dryer & Smith repre-
scented the legatee' and are being con-
graduated upon the rare skill with
which their work was performed and
the success which crowned their
efforts.
The foundation for the big wooden
mill has been completed and work on
the brick walls of the superstructure
are well under way. This is not to
be branch" OF another establish
ment, but the entire plant which has
been in ST. eessful operation for near
ly half century is to be removed
here. and the superintendent says the
spindles will be ready to whirl in
West Superior in August. Marshall
Field, the great drygoods king of
Chicago. offers to furnish money with
which to double the capacity of the
mill on condition that his firm be Civ
en- exclusive sale of its products.
Another steel steamer was launched
at the shipyard last Saturday, but
launchings of this kind are becoming
so common here that they have ceased
to cause excitement, though none for
get their true significance.
Railroad magnates representing the
Red Wing & Southern and the Mil
waukee Bee Line were in the city last
week negotiating for terminal facili-
ties.
II. G. Wood attended the Grand
Lodge of Odd Fellows which met at
Ashland on Tuesday of last week.
Negotiations are pending for the
removal of street car works TO this
city
