Death For Cora Microbes.

That little bit of tough skin on the
business side of the little toe, that I'M
failing barometer and inducer of agony,
the corn, is not simply the result of
wearing boots too tight or too loose, as
we have been taught to believe. 1t has
far more important pedigree than
that, and actually boasts bacillus-the
corn bacillus. His identity has long
been hidden, but Trappist monk dis
covered the rascal and his complete
destruction may be looked for IN the
near future.
The peskv organism has been digni-
fed with name. Bacillus diaboIicus
it is called. Physicians will abbrcviate
that to Di. The monk of La Trappc
who found him gives detailed instruc-
tons for the capture and punishment
of the vicious mite for the benefit of
suffering humanity. The prescription
is composed Of thirty grains of per
chloride OF mercury in solution and
thirty drops of laudanum de Sydenham
Place this on the affected spot and the
career of the bacillus diabolicus comes
to an ignoble end.-Ncw York Press

Interest in Copper Grows.

There is scarcely day now but what
a new party goes out to look over the
copper properties on the range, where
prospecting is going on, and many be-
come so interested and infatuated that
they buy stock or stay to help i'll the
development According to the geol-
oglsts who are working out there, great
things may be expected, and Judging
from the way stocks IN the different
companies are selling there Is already a
great demand for the holdings.
Work is going steadily on, and we
predict that it will not be long before
in this part of the country.

IMPORTANT DECISION.

Judge Ninie of the circuit court has
rendered decision in the case of the
consolidated Land Company against the
county of Douglas and sundrv holders
of tax certificates against the company s
property, in which he holds that the
city of Superior has issued over $3.50, 900
of illegal bonds. The action was COM
menced in May, 1895, to set aside GER
tam certificates issued at the sale of '94
for the tax of '93, on the grounds that
in lowing the tax of '93 the city had
included 1925, 900 as contingent fund
and furthermore that there had been
a large sum included for the payment
o. interest and also for establishing a
sinking fund with which to pay several
hundred thousand dollars worth of
bonds issued at a time when the city
was indebted beyond the per cent, of
It's assessed valuation, which bonds the
plaintiff claimed were therefore void.
The issues passed upon by Judge
Ninie relate to the so-called invalid
bonds and levy Of the contingent fund,
the court holding that at the time the
levy was made the city had outstanding
S44S, 900 of bonds that were INVALID by
reason of being above the limit of five
per cent. As to the contingent fund
the court was of the opinion that, upon
the proof, it was necessary to hold the
levy good, the plaintiff not having
shown that it had been damaged by
reason thereof.
The decision affects taxes amounting
to about 100000.
The case will be appealed.

Remarkable Rescue,

Mrs. Michael Curtain. Plaintield, H.,
makes the statement that she caught
cold, which settled on her lungs; she
was treated for month by her family
physician, but grew worse. He told
her she was a hopeless victim of con-
sumption and that no medicine could
cure her. Her druggist suggested Dr.
Kings New Discovery for Consump-
ton; she bought a bottle and to her
delight found herself benefited from
first dose. She continued its use and
after taking six bottles, found herself
sound and we'll; now does her own
housework. and is as well as she ever
was. Free trial bottles of this great dis
coyery at Merrell's Pharmacy. Only 30
cents and 500, every bottle guaran-
teeu.

County Board i'm Session.

The county board met this, Friday
morning and about the first order of
bu siness was to settle the drug contract
controversy. Several members of the
board said they had investigated the
matter and found that several hundred
dollars had been saved to the county
under the contract plan, and upon mo-
ton, DR. Common county physician was
authorized to continue as purchasing
agent, $500 being named as the sum
to be known as salary and drug fund.

Those who, in years gone by, remem-
Der the delightful programs arranged
by Prof. Wells, organist at the Church
of the Redeemer, will be delighted to
hear that he is preparing series for
the summer, and the first concert will
be given Sunday. August 9th. Supe-
rior has great deal of musical talent
of high grade, and it is more than
likely that the programs will equal if
not excel those of former years.

Under New Management.

The Superior Lead n, which mas been
in the hands of Receiver Stewart for
several months, was finally sold on
Thursday to Alvin Thoits, manager and
owner of the Duluth News Tribune, for
81 500. Mr.. Thoits assumed control at
once, and the first issue under the new
management appeared Friday morning.
The paper CLOSELY resembles the Duluth
News Tribune in general appearance,
AMI its Geographic news is full and
complete, as is the local page, and We
submit that with any other editor than
the Forum man, who, We understand is
in charge of the columns, the paper
might receive liberal support, al
though the fact that the paper is print
ed in Duluth, and is practically see
ond edition of the News Tribune, will
no doubt make a great difference IN the
support our people feel called upon to
give a new newspaper venture. We
need a good morning paper, printed at
home, and if We can't have it. why help
out the Duluth people.
