A Good Hit.

The float in the 4th of July parade
which caused the most merriment was
the one representing the Court House
removal struggle. A large sized figure
representing Mr.. James Bardon, whose
"herculean (politicaD strength" has al
ways been credited as enough to hold
the building where it now is, was in the
foreground holding fast to the much de-
sired prize. In the rear two figures
representing Manager Wemyss and
Mr.. Frank A. Ross, the instigator of the
move, were pulling with might and
main at the Jail. A great many people
remarked that Mr.. Ross ought to be
satisfied to know that be helped to
build the jail at the East end, without
now wanting to take it away from us
entirely. The float ought to be seen to
be thoroughly appreciated.

The Fourth for 1896 Has Come
and Gone

! The early morning hours Of Saturday
last were dark and foggy and the wea-
Their was anything but encouraging,
but by nine o clock the sun appeared
and it was plain to be seen that the
predictions of the weather man for 3
fine day were to be verified. The pa
| rade which took place at ten o'clock at
the West End was wonderful and would
have been credit to a city of 100000
Inhabitants. 1t was surprise TO even
those most intimately connected with
II, as fears were entertained lest some
of those who had promised to take part
should not. The industries and bust
J ness houses were all represented. The
largest display was made by the Barge
! Co., they having ten wagons and eight
hundred employees representing the
! different departments of their work.
! Heading the parade were James +
McGrath, George Kane, W. A. Melon
add Perry ]. Ekstrand, Pearl Smith
and others. all Of whom were on horse
back Following them came Mayor
Pattison, Thomas f. Lyons, Rev. James
! Robert Smith, A. J. Webster and the
board of aldermen in carriages. Then
came the band, followed by the militia,
and thirteen little girls representing
the thirteen original states, after which
came forty-fve others costumed in the
nations COlors representing the states
of the union. In this department of
the parade a noticeable feature was the
representation of Uncle Sam mounted
upon wagon with his guard of sailors.
The drum corps marched next, followed
by the members of the J. D. Robbie and
the Alonzo Palmer posts.
Following closely came the unions,
secret organizations and floats, making
a parade over two miles in length. The
line of march took the people to the
park where they listened to the pro-
gram which consisted of invocation by
Rev. Johnson, reading of the Declar-
alton OF independence by Hector Swift,
and music by the band. The addresses
were fine and should have been heard
or read by every citizen of our land.
Mr.. Lyons being the first speaker COW
cred the ground completely. it at first
appeared, but when Mr.. Smith warmed
up it was soon apparent that many
things had been left unsaid, and that
many things touched upon by the first
speaker would bear mentioning the
second time, when treated in an entirely
different style.
The sports such az races of different
kinds, catching the creased pig. climb
ing the creased pole, etc., occupied the
afternoon, at Hammond Park, while
thousands Of Duluth and Superior
people attended the bicycle races at
the driving park. The track was a
little heavy owing to the rain of the
day before, but several good races were
run. No serious accidents occurred to
mar the record of the day, and with
the fine display of fire works in the
evening the celebration of July 18th 1896
successfully closed.

A PuZZle That Means Business

From the Leader.
The work of the crew surveying the
line which is being run parallel to the
Northern Pacific from South hyperion
to the East End still continues and 80
does the work of the guessers as to
whose road it is. The men who think
that jim Hill Is working little scheme
of his own and putting in this line seem
to have the most plausible argument.
They say that it certainly is not the
Northern Pacific Line which is being
surveyed ar the line is being RIM 100
feet away from the \. P's. right of way.
hhe work, going on silently is 1t Is,
is just like Hill, these guessers say, he
is always doing things i'll this way and
not sending out tOrerunncr announc'
ing his intentions.
On the Fourth of July, man from
Minneapolis WAS in the city looking for
some piling lie has done work in sup
plying piles for the Great Northern
previous to this time and on that day
while here, he met man on the street
while the parade was goin by, whom
he knew as an emplOye of that railway,
who asked him to step to one side Tor
private conversation. Upon doing
so the Minneapolis gentleman was
numbef OF feet wanted being stated
| He said he believe that he could.
"Well'' said the Great Northern man
81 wish you would get it, as we are 60
| ing to build a warehouse and depot out
| here (pOinting over his shoulder with
his thumb in the direction of Contra
| Para and when we want it we vii
want it quick" That is all of the talk
! but the Minneapolis man got the idea
some how that the depot was to be {
| Union depot and that all OF the roads a
the head of the lake are IN If.
Other people are of the opinion tha
the Great Northern)is getting line in
ready to use the new Duluth-SuperlCl
bridge when it is completed but tits al

who they ard working for, Jim Hill il
