Dedication Services.

Sunday next, July 18th, the magnif
cent Methodist church at the West end
will be dedicated with appropriate and
elaborate exercises. In these trying
times it means something more than it
did in times gone 10y to see such an edi
fee as this finished and opened to the
public. The members of This organlZ-
alton numbered about fifteen originally
lin 1857 and have seen prosperous and
hard times, but have bravely stood by
their holdings, as it WAS during the
prosperous times that the immense
and elegant editice was started, build
lng which would indeed be credit to a
city four times the size of Superior. 1t
became apparent that money could not
be obtained to finish the entire build
ing, so the lecture room was finished,
and has been used ever since as an
audience room, the members and
friends managing to keep the interest
paid on large loan outstanding. About
year ago DR.. Bolton took charge OF
the church and largely through his in
strumentality the financial part of the
difficulty has been adjusted, and the
work of finishing the auditorium was
commenced about three months ago.
with the result that the building vii! be
dedicated, next Sunday, july 18th,
1898.
DR.. Bolton, who has been at Jackson
vile, Florida. with his regiment, the
2nd Illinois, is in the city, and
will deliver the evening sermon. DR..
Forbes, of Duluth, well and fayorabv
known to our people, we'll preach the
dedicatory sermon, and an elaborate
musical program will be rendered.
4 grand WAR Concert" Will be ar
ranged for Wednesday evening, the
proceeds to be used in purchasing a
carpet for the auditorium, and with
every 80 cent ticket beautiful souvenir
of the church, with pictures and impor-
tant facts regarding the church history
will be given.
During the week several lectures will
be given. DR.. Humason, of Duluth,
will be among the speakers, and on the
18th it is expected that Rev. Johnson,
of La Mars, Iowa, the former pastor,
will speak. The ladies having the con-
cert in charge have secured Mrs Ada
laide B. Jordan. of Chicago. noted yo-
calist to assist and with the male quar-
tette and Sapphos anG other legal talent
delightful program is assured. Every
BODY should turn out and aid the ladies
in this grand effort to complete the in
terror furnishing of the church.

The New School Board,

All the members of the Board of Ed
ucatioh excepting Mr.. Weiss were pres
ent when the roll was called on Tues
day last, and proceeded at once to the
election of President, Mr.. Frank
Decker, one of the oldest members of
the board was the choice of the majority
and was duly installed; friend Abra-
ham was chosen vice president. Supt.
Elson was reelected without opposi-
ton, he having accomplished SO much
for our school system, and established
all over the United States our reputa-
ton as an educational center, that he
seems to be gaining in popularity all
the time. 1t is said that one needs no
better recommend than ito have been
successful teacher in Superior's
Schools" which is certainly very high
praise for our system. After re-electing
Miss Montgomery stenographer for an
other year. the matter of electing Sec
rotary came up. Right here is where
centres each year. and we shall not at
this time say who is responsible for the
condition which now exists among the
members, but it is clear from the
straight division and answering vote
of four members for DR.. II. II. Smith,
that a majority of those present, mostly
Old members, are satisfied with his SER
vices and think he should be reelected.
With this sentiment so very pro-
nounced through the numerous ballots.
we can see no reason why some one OF
the other four members (who were
casting complimentary votes to their
different friends most of the time, not
being united on any candidate) did not
cast the deciding vote and settle this
matter. The majority of our people
now feel that DR.. Smith should be ell
eCted, and the longer the fight is car
ried on the more confirmed will become
the belief that politics. and not eflici-
encv, and adaptabilitv to the work,
constitute the necessary strength to Sc
cure the place. This is entirely wrong
and we do not want to be classed
among the cities which pull and maui
over this most important board. All
educational organizations are passing
most emphatic resolutions against poll
teal parties interfering in any way with
the boards of education, and we heart
lily endorse the move, and trust that we
may come out of this little affair with
proof that politics has nothing to do

A Beautiful Drive.

Many of our people sit and complain
because they cannot afford a trip to
some resort, where they would prob
ably be more uncomfortable, and not
have half SO good time as they could
right here at home, never tor q moment
looking about them for an outing near
by. For if they did, we are sure that
such lovers of nature would frequent
the drive to Black River Falls, which
for true beauty cannot be excelled. An
other pretty place can be found on the
Aminicon river, a couple of miles
nearer town than Black River Falls
Here is series Of little falls winch are
said to be especially fine from an ar
tistic standpoint. 1t seems shame
that our people do not appreciate the
rare scenic effects right here in our
midst. The roads are very good at pres
ent, and are being improved all the
time, and we suggest that if we as a city
are to go without light, little of our
money might be iudiciously expended
in working up some kind of a park
proposition, and cheap way of reach
ing these points. There is no doubt but
what if our city and county fathers
would take this matter up, and the fact
became known that these places were
easy of access. our city would be crowd
ed with visitors who would be anxious
to visit the picturesque hooks.

A Little inconsistent.

Our new Mayor seems to be slightly
afflicted with that uncommon, and, not
among officials, fatal disease economy
The SYMPTOMS are most noticeable when
the Lighting question is up, in fact,
when we come to think of it, We do not
recall any other matter of importance
to the city where he has so clearly
shown his economical tendency, and he
really missed a grand opportunity to
save a round sum to the tax payer and
voter, when he vetoed Tuesday evening
the resolution which recommended that
the number Of members on the Board
of Review be reduced, two aldermen to
DE relieved. This board has always
been very expensive, and in the judg
ment Of many, is entirely unnecessary,
but granted that it is needed two or
three days time should be given to the
hearing of complaints and the testi
ed to thoroughly do and understand
their work, leaving nothing for the
board to do but confirm it, or adjust
an evident injustice and then adjourn.
But it is evident our mayor cares more
TO strengthen his chances for re-elec-
ton than he does for economy.

THE WILD WEST.
Buffalo Bits Great Exhibition soon TO
Appcar-Chcap Excursion Rates.

When the patriotism of the people is
ailame and the movements of the army
and navy of paramount interest it is i'm
possible TO conceive of anything that
public at this time in the way of amuse-
ment attraction than Buffalo Bills Wild
West and Congress of Rough Riders of
the World. 1t is no mere SHOW intend
ed to provide diversion for an afternoon
and evening, and yet as an entertain
ment it is beyond all measure the most
diverting. Its real value lies in the fact
that it is, more than anything else an
international military tournament. In
it you see veterans of the Fifth L. S.
artillery handling double light bat
terry exactly as it was in front of any
enemy; cavalrymen from the armies of
Russia, England, Germany, Mexico,
Cuba, Egypt and other foreign lands
show how soldiers of those nations han
die themselves their manouyres and tao
tics in fighting and their sports and
pstStiiiics III pay lhS- ONcT loU lutldH
warriors show the fighting buffalo Bill
and his fellows had to do to win from
them the vast eXpan5es of the ard
Western plains which have been made
to blossom with the happy homes of
thousands of our countrymen. There
is no space here to mention all the fea
lures of this great exhibition but men
ton must be made of the insurgent
veterans fresh from the battletields,
prisons and hospitals of Cuba; the mag
niiicent military spectacle, Clusters last
Battle. 1t is the same superb show,
man for man, horse for horse that
opened the season with a month at
Madison Square Garden, New York
city; the same show of which the great
editor, Murat IIalsted said: at is some
body's crime il all the children do not
see it 1t will be at Duluth Aug. 9th.

Crank" War Inventions.

a single fortunate invention may reyo-
lutionize ali the present methods of
warefare, just as, III the days of rebel
lion, the appearance of the famous
Monitor sounded the call for iron yes
sels and in a day relegated to useless
ness the splendid wooden navies of the
world, says The Providence Journal.
But to the one man whose invention
may be OF practical value there are a
hundred others with devices in which
they have the fullest faith. but which
appear utterly useless and absurd to
everyone else. These are the pests of
no less of a nuisance during the DAYS of
the civil war. The freak inventions
and ideas which were offered at that
time to the governments of North and
South form an interesting study in the
light of nearly forty years progress.
Early in the civil war Methodist
minister named Pufter invented novel
double chambered cell. The inner COM
partment was to contain powder and
the other Il secret composition intensely
inhammatory and explosive, which,
when the shell burst, was to consume
everything it fell upon. The patriotic
clergyman remarked of his production
that he "had preached hell-fre and
birthstone in the abstract for long
time, and now proposed to give 'em
little of it in the concrete form" His
invention, however, failed Of acce ptance
bv the war department, and the par
son was again forced to confine his hell
fire dspe nsing energies to the pulpit
