MONEY WASTED.

The city council has jurt paid one

its fitness for domestic use We do not
know who Professor Davis is. but we
venture to say that he did not throw
any new light on the subject-that he
revealed no new facts-and that the
money he received might as probably
have been spent in purchasing cigar
cites for the use of the MAYOR and add
ermen. Long ago it was established be-
voud a doubt that the water supplied
by the Superior Water, Light & Power
company to the Superior people is bad

and Shiny. ANY man who Will take the
trouble to fill bottle with tie fluid
and examine it with the naked eye can
see what are its ingredients. Not an
alderman III the city government not a
horse, donkey, mule, bovine or hog that
has ever drank it but knows that it did

these facts it should seem strange that
our city fathers 90 on spending money
in the way referred TO, but Superior
aldermen are given TO doing such out
landish things that anything thew do
has ceased to be strange. That they
should be in need of money Is not to
be wondered at,when they are continu-
ally expending it for useless purposes.
The brains Of the mayor and some Of
the aldermen would seem to be as be-
tuddled as our city water.

The Presidents Visit.

President Mckinley is t. visit the
Omaha Exposition in October, and is
also scheduled for stops ut various other
points in the West. The Tribune's
Washington correspondent saws an mr.
gent invitation has been extended 10
him To include Minnesota in his itiu-
erary. \ convenient route for him to
take on his return from Omaha would
be to come TO Minneapolis via Sioux
City and Nankato, proceed from here

The president is said to have given
some encouragement to the idea that

him. and II is believed that If the invi-

properly be taken by tile commercial
bodies of Minneapolis, y. RAUL and

Men OF the Anglo-Saxon Race:

But yet your generous hearts are free
To interchange Il generous thought;
Or cise in vain your splendid Secrs

Their struggling fellows from the light.

Have set humanity at stake;

There Freedom bids the soul awake.
All are involved for none may shun
That Issue. and mankind can mark
How some are turning to the sun
And some are budding in the dark.
And some are tampIing others down
And some are hurting others back;
Here new nation wins rcn0wn.
There drifts Il dynasty to wrack.
And closer. aS the narrow space
Drives each upon the other. grows

The grapplc OF instructive foes

SKATER DENIES A RUMoR
Customs at Santiago Are Honestly
Administered

WASHINGTON, July H.-The War De-
partment today made public the follow
ing, received from General Shafter in re-
Spouse to a query by the department as to
ships being turned away from Santiago:
Santiago. via Hayti, July %, 1911 a. NJ
Acknowledgement U. s. A.. Washington:
Press reports not true. I only know of
three ships having arrived, one from
Kingston, the others from the United
States. The Bratton has sold her cargo; the
other, a ship from New Orleans, has sold
only a part of 1t and tells me he is going
away tonight. I think he will sell before
he leaves. The trouble is they did not ex-
rect to pay any duty and arrived here
without money. The Spanish customs as
applied to Spanish subjects has only been
collected and the twenty cents per ton as
ordered by the Secretary. I discovered the
Spanish attempt on the part of the munich
pality to collect tax of 40 cents per 100
kilos, In this instance amounting to $780,
had already settled this matter by order
ing its non-collection. The fact Is, there Is
no money here to do business with, and
merchants are very timid about making
purchases, fearing the effect of the Red
Cross supplies, which are really supporting
the town. The New Orleans man, for in
stance, brought q head of cattle, which
he sold at SIS per head; the person buying
killing one a day, selling the meat at 10
cents per pound. OF course, only a few
people buy. The first week we were here
people were starving to death and think
a few now are dying from the effects CT
starvation. I am positive, however, that
the customs have been honestly adminic-
tered. SHAFTER,
Major-General

None of the wounded, understand, were
in serious condition. although some Gu
bans and immunes on board the Seneca
were quite sick"
General Sternberg boarded the Relief and
expressed himself highly pleased with the
appearance and arrangements of that ves-
sci.
1.-The work done on this boat" he said.
reflects a great deal of credit on her Off
GERS and the department, and If the gov
eminent had more ships of this character
our floating hospital system would be the
finest and most perfectly equipped In the
world"
Later General Sternberg made an addi-
tional statement regarding his investiga-
ton of the Seneca. He said he had IN
structed those concerned to report to him
in detail all they knew about the matter
and when the reports came In he would
know upon whom to lay the blame for any
fault that might be discovered.
"As 1 understand it," he continued, "the
Seneca had just discharged a cargo of
commissary stores at Santiago when the
hospital department received the informa-
ton that in accordance with General Shat
ters communication to General Toral fight
ing on land and sea might begin the next
day. 1t was expected, therefore, that
there would be perhaps several hundred
wounded on the surgeons hands, and as
the Seneca had cabin accommodations she
was asked how many she could take. She
replied that she had room for forty-flve
but only forty-three were sent on board.
Later a number Of Cuban and foreign
naval and military officers went on board
and helped themselves to the best accom-
modations they could find. OF course this
was wrong, and If Doctors Hicks and Baird
knew 1t they should not have allowed 1t,
as none but the wounded should have been
permitted on board. have not yet learned,
however, who is responsible for this mis-
management"
