in the ocean carrying trade. The
whalebacN build of vessels has been
tried in new scope and found not
wanting. The trip occupied ten days
and seven hours. On Thursday, July
8, at p. ~, the Whetmore left Sid

at Liverpool on the 2lst. Allowing
for the longitudinal difference in time
the passage was made in just 2i7

Honorable Guests.

The congressional party which visit.
ed our city Tuesday was not as large
as had been expected, as some of the
parties from various causes had been
compelled to drop out of the party be-
fore reaching the head of the lakes.
Senator Sawyer was taken sick and
was sent home from Marquette, while
business engagements called others
away, but still enough was left to
make very pleasant party. Tuesday
was their day here and they were
shown about the city by committee
of citizens, and all seemed pleased that
they had kept in line and were thus
privileged to see Superior and her sur
roundings. The party took dinner at
The Euclid after which they went to
the West End. The party consisted
Of: Hon. Thomas J. Henderson
and wife of Illinois, chairman of the
last river and harbor committee; Hon.
n. &. Blanchard and wife of Louisiana,
prospective chairman of the river and
harbor committee of the next con-
gress; Hon. G. III. Gibson and wife Of
Maryland, eX-congressman; Hon. c.
C. Townsend, wife and son of Penn
sylvania; Hon. S. NJ. Stephenson, wife
and two daughters of Menominee,
Mich, eX-cOngressman; Isaac Stephen
son and daughter of Marinette, Wis,
eN-congressman; Hon. Francis 3.
Stockbridge of Kalamazoo, Mich, SEN
ator; Hon. {. F. Wickham and wife.
representative of the Fourteenth dis
trict Of Ohio and member of the COM
merce committee of the last congress;
&. IL. Keep of Buffalo, secretary of
the Lake Carriers association; w. Is.
Bates, wife and daughter of Detroit,
private secretary of Senator McMlll-
ian; David Barry and wife, Washing
ton correspondent of the New York
sun, and Misses Stringham and Mer
ryman of Marinette,, Wis. These
constituted the regular party. In adj
dition to these were many distinguish
ed persons who came to receive the
party. Among them were Hon. John
Lind, of New Tim, MINI: congress
man from the First district: G.. III.
Brickner, wife and daughter, of She
boygan, congressman from the Fifth
district; Hon. Thomas Lynch, of
Amigo, congressman from the Ninth
district, Rutherford Z. Hayes, son Of
the ex- president, came with the party
from Duluth where he is staying for
over his business there.

MarAudcrA Abroad,

Our city was pretty conclusively
in the hands of the midnight maraud-
ers last Monday night. A number of
residences and one place of business,
the post office, was entered, or the at
tempt to enter made that night. The
/ The post Office at the East End of the
city was visited about half past one
o'clock, the would-be thieves getting
SO far as to have one of the back win
dows raised and all ready to crawl in
when the clerk, Mr.. Fred Thompson,
who sleeps in the post office, awoke
and the robbers hearing him get up
ran away, leaving two chisels and a
sledge hammer behind them 1t is
thought two men were at the window.
At the residence of Vincent Roy they
effected an entrance and succeeded in
! getting away with a silver watch be
longing to Mr.. Peter Dcfauld, but
nothing else was disturbed.
At Mr.. Lenroots house in Central
Park they got the window pried open
when Mr. Lenroot awoke. He seized
his shooter and made for the scene of
action. But the robbers heard him
| coming and ran away. Mr.. Lenroot
i fired a shot or two after them just to
let them know that he was prepared
for such visitors.
DR.. W. J. Conan's new Central Park
residence was successfully entered but
all the property the robbers got was a
watch and chain, the property Of a
guest in the house
They also visited the residence of
Mr.. IIoyt, of Central Park, but were
frightened away, as they were also
| from one or two other residences, SO
that the booty secured by their raids
all told was but one silver and one
gold watch. During the week some
thing like one hundred toughs have
been ordered out of town, and as
| many more ought to go.

Alderman O'IIare does not pro-
pose to pay the Water campany's bills
until that soulless corporation shows
some inclination to do what the city
council has instructed them to do, to-
Wit: put their water mains i'll the

us stop right where we are until we

Superior.

Our home made and fine cream bread
is left every day choice and fresh at
Neil Smiths also at Mrs MaXim's.
1t is shame to have another Win
tie come on with no decent driveway
between the two ends of the city. The
Land and River Improvement com
pany can have Tower avenue paved as
far out into the country rs they desire
while other sections are made to wait
until they get through. Does that
company own the Board of Public
Works?
The city attorney says that the
city cannot open Banks avenue beyond
the present limits because the rail
roads are in the way. The railroads
do not seem to have any trouble III
crossing Tower avenue and all other
streets they wish to cross, why can't
the city do as muchs Have the rail
road officials been taking tea with our
city attorney?

sonage Wednesday evening was very

frequent occurrence.

Church Notes.

The Easter services held at the
Presbyterian church were largely at.
tended and highly appreciated, The
singing was especially good. The
choir OF this church sing q more diff.
cult class of music than is usually at
tempted. The congregation is GER
tainly fortunate in having such mus.
ical leaders in its song service.
The display OF flowers was very rich
being the choicest from several private
conservatories and from that of the
college. Thanks are due to Prof.
Keffer and to some of our young ladies
for the floral collation. and arrange
ment.
The Easter Services at the M. E.
church, postponed from last Sunday
on account of the Quarterly Meeting
Services, will be held next SUNDAY
morning and evening. In the morn
ing the music and sermon will be ap-
propriate to the day, and in the even
ing an Easter Concert exercise will be
rendered, assisted by the orchestra.
There will be greater amount of
music than usual both morning and
evening.
Next Sabbath will be communion
day at the Presbyterian church.
There will be public reception of mem
bers and adult baptisms in the morn
ing. In the evening the pastor ex-
poets to speak on "Eocial Purity or
the 7th Commandment" On Satur-
day afternoon at 3 O'clock there will
be preparatory lecture and the bap-
tism of children.
The Elder Dresser has already be-
come deser vedly popular here and his
visits will be anticipated by the
church because ofhis manifest interest
and willingness to aid in any work, as
we'll as his ability as d preacher.
Presiding Elder Dresser held the
Second Quarterly Meeting services the
M. E. church last Saturday evening
and Sunday morning. He preached
two stirring sermons.
At the Baptist church: Sermon at
10.45 A. NJ. Subject. But" Sermon
at 7:3O p. NJ. Subject, ga Horse of
Another Color" Young peoples
meeting at 6:45.
The communion service at the NJ. E.
church was partaken of by larger
number than at any previous service
during the present pastors admins
tration.
The Sunday School at the Presby.
terian church is at hign tide. A more
intelligent, painstaking class Of volun-
tary workers could hardly be found.
Rev. B. H. Breasted preached an
able sermon at the Babtist church
last Sunday morning.
The storm of Sunday evening pro-
vented very large attendance at the
church services.

Prospects Brighter.

Hon. }. Nj. Bailey, Jr,, Of Sioux
Falls. one OF the brightest financiers
in South Dakota says: $50 far as
the financial stringency in South Da-
kota is concerned, think the worst
ia past. | see no reason why money
should not, from now on, be easier.
Aster the June settlements in the east
money will come to this country and
will continue to flow In, for believe
South Dakota will be blessed with a
good crop this season, and eastern
money will buy it; our people viii get
their proportion-aDd it will not be
small. The east must have our pro-
ducts, and to get them will require
money. Merchants throughout the
state are i'll @ good fix financially.
They have, as a class, been more
prompt than in former years in pay
ing their bills; many discount every
dollars worth OF goods they buy, and
as for failures there has been fewer
among South Dakota merchants than
among eastern merchants doing busi-
ness on the same amount of capital.
There is no reason for uneasiness or
encouragement; daylight for South
Dakota Is breaking, and the men who
hold to what they have here will be
the men who will reap a fine harvest
and that harvest is at hand"

A New Counterfeit,

A Washington special OF the 29th
ult. says: "a sensation has been
caused at the treasury department by
the discovery of a counterfeit 50 sill
yer certificate so nearly perfect as to
be almost impossible OF detection.
Paper with q silk thread through it is
for the first time almost perfectly i'm.
itated IN the counterfeit just dlscov.
cred. So far as Is now known it has
been used in counterfeiting 50 certifi-
Gates of the series OF 1886. 1t is es-
timated there are now nearly $4O,-
600, 900 of these notes in circulation,
and the problem before the treasury
department now is, how to get them
back into the treasury and substitute
n new series without mDarrassment
before any considerable quantity OF
the counterfeit notes get into circUla-
ton.
This was the subject OF secret con.
ference at the treasury department
this afternoon between Secretary Eos
ter and the leading officials OF the
bureau OF engraving and printing. 1t
was practically decided to suspend
the printing Of 80 silver certificates
and institute new series OF the same
denomination. These will contain a
vignette OF Secretary Window aud will
be issued as soon as the necessary
plates can be engraved. 1t will take
about two months to procure plates
and in the meantime the government
will exert it's utmost endeavors to
procure and destroy the plates and
other parapharnalia used in the man
ufacture OF the counterfeit.
