Severe Belanger. d. Z. Merrill 5
most popular and efficient drug clerk,
met with a serious accident W lille riding
his wheel in Ddluth, on Wednesday.
He, in company with his sister who is
visiting him, and several other Young
ladies were making the boulevard trip
and coming down lie lost control of his
wheel and struck a stone and was
thrown to the SroCnd with such force
az to harm him severely. Upon reach
ing home he had a physician examine
his side and at first it was feared that a
rib was broken, but it was found to be
only bad bruise. However Severe
is laid up for repairs and probably will
be, for several days.
-Rumors have been floating round
for some time and are now fully con
tirmed, to the effect that many young
men. members of the first families Of
the East end, are spending altogethe,
too much of their valuable time. and
considerable cash, ct one Of bur most
respectable saloons. Proud fathers and
loving mothers are enraged at the reck-
less disregard for the laws governing
these dens, which are supposed to com
pei such places to close at a seasonable
hour instead of running them all night
as they do, the bows often creeping into
their homes ct three and four o'clock
in the morning, and sometimes just N
time for breakfast. We have refra5ned
from mentioning names, and trust that
this timely warming Will be sufficient
notice to the boys as well to the prop
rietors Of these ruinous gambling places.
The first lecture of the series ar
ranged by Mrs. Chapman was given last
Monday afternoon at the Euclid and
was attended by about thirty ladies' and

in their praise Of the manner i'll which
Mrs. Chapman prepares and presents
her subject. Every person who Is IN any
way interested in historical events and
research sIrcull avail themselves Of the
opportunity given through TINS class,
as the vital data and nest important
and interesting facts have been arrang-
Ell by Mrs. Chapman herself, in a
very attractive vet simple msnner

Next Monday afternoon at half past
three O'Clock the second talk Of tie

The kelly-O'Brien Wedding.

Promptly at eight o'clock, on the
bright and beautiful morning of We'd
nesday, June %, 1897, in the presence
of hundreds of friends. the marriage of
Miss Elizabeth Kelly to Mr.. Patrick II.
o'Brien was solemnized at ST. Francis
Catholic church, by Rev. Father
Eustace, the full nuptial mass being
celebrated. The groom is a prominent
politician III our city as we'll as one of
the we'll established LAWYERS, and is
liked by al WHO know him, and the
bride, who has made her home with
her sister, Mrs, Edward keaough. for
Several years, is considered on of the
brightest and handsomest young ladies
of Superior. and never looked prettier
in her life than IN her elegant wedding
gown OF white satin, made in the latest
style, with PLAIN wide skirt and elabor-
ate waist with small sleeves. She wore
also the conventional bridal veil held
in place with orange blossoms. Miss
Lizzie Mccormick, as bridesmaid, wore
and especially becoming and beautiful
toilet of heliotrope silk with null over
dress, and a large picture hat. The two
little nieces of the bride Mary and Ilene
keaough, dressed in pink organdie, and
carrying quantities OF flowers, led the
bridal procession to the altar. Mr..
Vaughn, the law partner of Mr. O'Brien
acted as best man and with the men,
bers of immediate families made up the
party. After the service delightful
breakfast was served at the homie of
Mr.. and Mrs. Mrs. Ed. keaoueh on
Sixth street and Nettleton avenue, and
at one O'Clock the happy couple left on
the st. Paul 4 Duluth for a few weeks

more sincere congratulations and best
wishes for future success and happiness.

Place, however, TO form favorable idea.
Its site is somewhat romantic and com

one large frame building overlooking
the bay, the houses are hidden amid
a maze Of trees. Judging from appear

seem TO be one of it's chief maiustGys.
As it i the seat of an indian agency it is

Let Us Have Appropriate Sunday
Services.

This year the Fourth of July comes
Oh Sunday, and we suggest that services
rs full of patriotism and Fourth -ofJuly-
ism as possible be arranged in every
church of the land. Not often does
such an opportunity come, and every
minister, choir and Sunday school
teacher should prepare appropriate
features for the people attending the
churches. Then on Monday let the noise
and games, which are very important
paIt of the celebration and observance
of the day, follow, and all the people will
be better and happier for having prop
erly honored and observed the Fourth
of July in the year 1897.

To Elect Officers,

The election of the new officers Of the
Board of Education will take place July
9th, and as the time approaches the
public interest increases. The newly
appointed members of the board, it is
understood, all favor change, and it is
hoped that enough of the old members
Will rise above party, sect and political
| organization to cooperate with them
and bring it about.
We are not saying that all the rumors
that are atioat are true, but we do know
that the public mind is decided for a
change, and the ugly rumors will never
cease until one or two officials step down
and out
The rumors have some apparent
grains of truth which can not be white
WasEed, SO We say it Is far better for the
good Of the schools and for the officials
themselves to discontinue their cCnnec-
ton with the public schools.
Again We are firmly convinced that
the salary Of the secretary should be re-
duced to at least seventyfve dollars
per month, we mean for the entire
office expense, and consider it ample
allowance.
We would suggest that one member of
the board be elected secretary, or as
sumo those duties that are of directory
character and employ clerk to do the
clerical work IN the office, the princi-
pal Of the several schools to assume the
duties Of looking after their respective
buildings, supplies, etc, and by that
means reduce the responsibility of the
secretary to mere clerical work. The
duties of clerk or assistant secretary, as
it may be called, can be performed as
well by a lady as by = man.
The condition OF the cities finances
is of such a nature as to demand re-
trenchment in all its departments.
We believe in keeping up the etiici-
ency OF the schools, but also believe
that with little careful study our new
board will see that this can be done,
and still save money to our people in
many ways other than by cutting the
salaries of the low-prIced and hard
worked teachers. The public asks for
retrenchnent, but looks for it IN the re-
ally extravagant places, where, by one
cut, hundreds of dollars could be saved
and the effectiveness of the schools not
impaired in the least. The people do
not think that the forty-dollar teacher
who has as much work as the fifty dol
lar one, should be cut to twenty five
We say that is cutting in the wrong
place altogether. The public is anx-
lously waiting the action OF the new
board, and it is sincerely hoped that
matters will be cleared up and over
hauled to the extent that next year we
shall be free from such a startling and
horrifying political and social school
scandal as we have just passed through

The Circus.

Iemen Bros circus has been here
and gone. While not to be compared
with the big shows which sometimes
make Superior, they put up 4 much bet
ter and cleaner performance than many
of their class. The menagerie was rather
slim, but the tumblihs trapesc work,
bicycle and horseback riding were good.
The work of Little Edna" the female
rider, who is the only woman who has
vet accomplished the feat Of turning a
backward somersault on rapidly NOV
ing horse, was certainly wonderful, and
her many other special acts won her
merit"d applause. The circus was not
largely attended and if there is any
truth in the saying that "When there is
any money ii town the circus will get
it," we have bit to consider that in
comparison with former times there is
not much money! IN town, as the general
impression prevails that the show did
not pay expenses while here.
