| The only issue involved in our re-
cent municipal election was as to who

bred Republicans joined the Populists

Republican whep nominated by the

| One of the important industries of
| Superior this year will be the cultiva-
| tion of potatoes upon lands which
| three years ago could not be purchased
| for seventy-five thousand dollars an
acre. The land will produce just as
| fine potatoes, however, as though il
were worth but ten shillings per acre,

farming land.
| The health department of Superior
is ''Pillsbury's Best, strictly A No. l
| and runs perfectly true-dOesn wob-
| bic particle. The health commission
er, DR.. G. G. PillsbuFy, is impervious
| alike TO the threats of prominent
persons of alleged influence and the
seductive wiles of the INSCRIPTIONS

| Doctor appreciates as an important
factor in the success with which he is
| administering the health department
| the fidelity and ability of his subordi-
mates, among whom are two gentle
| man who were formerly citizens of
| River Falls, III. g. Wood and ID. w.
| Rollins. Except during the big A.
| II. u. strike of last summer when he
was on the special police force Mr..
Wood has been connected with the
| health department since June 1st,
| 1894, first as sanitary policeman and
| after as inspector. His efficiency in
these positions secured for him pro-
motion TO the clerkship in the health
| office early in January, place which
he has filled in a manner so salts

thereto for another year. Mr. Rollins
was appointed meat inspector one
year ago and by faithful discharge
of his duties as such has we'll merited
