CELEBRATION!
'TATER CLEARIN' WILL AGAIN
CELEBRATE IN THE GOOD
OLD.FASHIONED STYLE.

Old Town" Assured.

The committee which engineered the
1898 cele bratlon of the Nations Birth
day has again taken hold, and met with
such encouragement as to insure the
best celebration ever held in Northern
Wisconsin. Great preparations are be-
ing made and the best attractions af-
torded bv the imm sdiate West will be
shown. Calathumpians,C Cowboys. Sioux
Indians, Rough Riders, etc. will partici-
pate in the Grand Parade, giving thrill
ing exhibitions of equestrian daring,
and reproducing bloodcurdling incl
dents of early frontier lie. The pro-
gram will include grand Indian War
Dance by $50 painted savages, and a
balloon ascension by Prof Briggs of
Minneapolis.
The War Dance will be worth going
a hundred miles to see. This is a fea-
ture of Indian life which is fast dying
out, and will soon be forgotten. The
passing of the dream of Indian power
is its finish. The management has Sc
cured 80 Sioux and Apache Braves,
many of whom participated in the mas
sacre of Custer and his command on
the Little Big Horn, and the dance will
be the genuine article. The War Dance
is a valuable educational object lesson.
See it and bring your children.
Brass bands will be in attendance all
day. Fine large dancing pavilions will
be erected and good music furnished
all day and evening. In the evening
there will be the grandest display of
fireworks ever shown in Superior. A
purse of fifty dollars will be divided
among the three most comlcal charac-
tiers in the grand calithumpian parade
which takes place in the morning, and
following the parade the best local
speakers will deliver addresses from a
grand stand to be erected on the cor
ner of Fifth and Becker.
Let every loyal, liberty loving citizen
take a hand in making this the biggest.
grandest, most magnificent celebration
Superior has eyer had. Invite our
West End neighbors over to join in the
fun. Business men prepare floats for
the big parade, drape your place of
business and residence with the ma
ional colors, and contribute something
toward the street decoration and the
sports of the day. Let the eagle scream,
the cannon boom, the fire crackers
crack and the pop guns pop. Let old
'Tater Clearin' awake from her sleep
and put on the garb of patriotism.
The committee has started the ball
rolling early to give everybody ample
time for preparation.
Capt. Marcy, ID. n. Morrison and
Ernest Schuster are the committee who
are pushing the matter.
Hon. Charles L. Catlin will act as
