Let All Unite,

AS every one knows the Evening
that matter-"s stand in" with the
Water, Light, and Power Company,
and would do nothing to cause that
corporation trouble. But to fool the
people," they all publish little squibs
occasionally, generally of humorous
character so as not to have bad effect
abroad, about the bad water, the poor
but costly lights and the inadequate
protection against fire, which is also
an expensive item and of no practical
benefit. One of the little items aliud-
ed to was found in the Telegram Il few
days ago which reads as follows:
The city of Superior pays about
$40, 600 year to maintain It's altOgeth-
er too expensive fire department and
then it pays the water company $40, 600
more for hydrantS, and the question is
how long tax payers can stand this
sort OF thing"
4 Now that is an excellent item, and
had it come from the heart, that Is
with an earnest desire for a radical
and permanent reform in these mat
tiers, accompanied with an earnest de
mand that these evils and eXtortionS
be modified, something might be ac-
c0mrlishcd. But it is not 50. The
daily press of the city have never de
mandcd Il reform III these matters,
they only occasionally allude to them

Dan Kennedy Dead.

A very few people have known that
ex-Sheriff Dan Kennedy left Superior
some six weeks since for the benefit of
his health, and therefore, they were
greatly surprised last Monday when "a
telegram was received from his broth
er Mike Kennedy from Hot Springs,
Ark, announcing that Dan was dead
and asking the people at home to pre-
pare to receive the corpse Tuesday
morning. He was thought to be gain
ing in health up to within two weeks
of his death, at which time change
for the worse set in and his brother
Mike was telegraphed for. He went
to him at once, but the brain was af
fected before he reached the bedside
and he was never recognized by the
sick man.
Mr. Kennedy was born in western
Canada in 1861, and lived on his faith
er's farm until he gained his majority,
receiving a common school education.
On becoming Of age he left home and
came 10 the United States and fOT 4
time was conductor of construction
train running between Ashland and
Superior, and settled permanently in
this city in 1885.
In 1856 he was elected sheriff of
Douglas county and served with Char
les " ickstrom as under sheriff in lSSS
and 1889 and was again elected sheriff
i'll 1890. For several years he WAS dep
uty United States marshal for north
ern Wisconsin and also served as city
detective under the Mayor Pattis0n.
Last fall he worked very hard to Sc
cure the election OF his brother Mike
as sheriff. From the effects of this
campaign he never recovered In the
hope that change Of air and scenes
would benefit him he went, some
weeks since, first to Colorado Springs,
and from there to the Hot Springs Of
Arkansas, where the end was reached
as stated.
Mr. Mike Kennedy and the remains
reached Superior Tuesday afternoon
and the funeral services were observed
yesterday forenoon, and the remains
were followed to the cemetery by
many people, for he was favorite
with all classes and conditions of PEG
pie. The surviving members of the
family consists of two brothers and
four sisters, one sister being married
and still living i'll Canada.

Graham Wants Pay.

Alderman Graham l.. Rice was very
anxious to he elected in April last 50
that he might serve the city without
pay or hope of reward. But about the
first ana only thing he has done since
his election has been to figure out
some way by which he could get pay
for his time He thinks he has solved the
problem. and has prepared a resolution
which provides for paying to the chair
man of each committee an 'alloW-
ance of $500" There are now eight
teen Alderman and by happy coin
cidence, just eighteen committees
SO each alderman may be a chair
man of some committee and SO
get his $500. 1t is claimed by some
that this construction may be applied
to the wording of the charter, and
such action taken by the council.

= New sEdus.Ty En Operation

The Lake Superior Mineral, Paint
Oil & Color works on Tower Slip, just
north of Col. Cockey's lime kilns, are
now in operation.
The worss crugh Mesaba iron ore.
The product is then roasted and fur
ther ground and pulverized until it
becomes an impalpable dust. Only
that portion of the product which is
fine enough to be sucked away by a blast
of air IS used in mixing paint.
The works are SO cOmpactly and
tightly built that but very little dust
can be seen about them, though inside
of the FLOATING chambers there is
nothing but iron ore dust. Technically
the product is called 'calcined and air
fiOated."
Owing to the perfect machinery used
not large number of men find employ
ment in the works, although a carload
per day IS turned out. The corpor-
alton has lease of the land occupied
from the Land and River Improve
ment company for term of years and
also an option for purchase. 1t is the
intention, it is stated, to effect the
purchase and erect next to the paint
mill an oil mill.
Owing to the nearness of iron ore
onthe Mesaba range and flax
seed in Minnesota and the Dakotas
the enterprise is bound to prove very
profitable

Memorial Day.

Tuesday last was Memorial day and
right royalty was it celebrated in this
City of Destiny. 1t was glorious day
overhead, underfoot, all around,
bright and just warm enough to be ex-
ceedingly comfortable. In the fore
noon the members of Alonzo Palmer
and J. D. Robe posts and Lincoln
Camp S. V. led by the Superior Drum
Corps, visited the cemeteries and with
a tenderness born of comradship, dec
GRATED with the beautiful flowers
culled from many private conserva-
tory the graves of those who have
fallen by the way.
In the afternoon at PSI O'Clock, just
3 minutes before the appointed time,
all things being ready, the grand pro
ceSSiOn was ordered forward by Col J.
F. Tostevin, the very prompt, method
zeal officer of the day. The parade
was organized in the following order:

Squad of Police.

The line of march was south on
Tower from Fifth to Belknap, north
on Belknap to Banks avenue and
cOuntermarch on Belknap to the opera
house. The procession was the finest
the city has ever seen. Every depart
ment looked well and marched we'll
and as the street was kept clear of OBJ
StructiOnS not Il halt was made until
the end was reached. The city, eS-
peciaIly along Tower avenue, was very
handsomely decorated, business suS-
pended and all seemed anxious to do
something to help observe the day in It
betting manner.
The opera house was crowded to its
utmost capacity, whatever that is and
hundreds of people went home unable
to find even standing room. The eX-
ercises here were very entertaining,
instructive and patriotic. To attempt
to summarize would only be an aggra-
walton to the reader and an injustice
to those participating. All did ex
ceptionally well, and that part taken
by the schools is worthy of special
commentator. Educate the children
Alright and there will be no need to
fear for the stability of the country.

Where Is IT.

Last year DR.. Shehan of the West
end was the health commissioner of
the city appointed by Mayor Scott.
During that year, there was much
fault found with the water supply and
much sickness and many deaths were
charged up to the water account. DIR.
Shehan sent samples of this water to
eminent chemists for analysis. The
water was duly analysed and the re
port returned. That report was very
Dad, it is said, but it was never made
public. DIR. Shehan is I, friend Of a Ger
tain member of the company, and did
not want to hurt him so suppressed
the report so far as he was concerned.
Later he turned it over to the mayor,
but the mayor was friend to the en-
tire Water Company outfit, and he
would say nothing. These officials
however, care nothing for the people,
they would rather see half the popula
ton perish with a burning fever than
that their friends of the water COM
pany should loose penny.
Now where is this report, got and
paid for 10y the city, 1t is said that
it is still in the mayors office. Can
you not find it, Mayor Kennedy? Look
among your papers and see. 1t is also
affirmed that DR.. Shehan positively de
clared to his brother physicians that
the water was all right, pure and good,
while he had this adverse analysis i'll
his pocket. This matter should also be
investigated. If true, this would con-
stitute a crime against society which
should be met with the most severe
punishment.
