NJ. S. Bright, of Superior, Wis.,, Appoint
ed to Important Oflce-Has Property
in Morrison County.

NJ. S. Bright, OF Superior, Wis, has
been named receiver for the large
properties OF James StinsOn, OF Chi
"ago, says the Duluth News Tribune.
Mr.. StinsOn's assets are not given.
His liabilities are PUG ut $S0O, 900.
An intimation that Mr.. StinsOn's
affairs were not in satisfactory
shape was given recently when his
bank at Hamilton, Ont, was closed
He takes a hopeful view Of the sit
untion, however, and says he be.
lieves his properties will meet all
obligations and leave surplus.
The action taken was on the petit
ton OF Rufus B. Smith, OF Madison.
Wis.,. who holds Il claim for $5.0i2
against the defendant.
The Stinson properties include a
quarter section adjoining the south
side of Chicago, h stock farm about
about 80 miles from the city, lands
in st. Paul and Minneapolis, lands
in Pine. Chisaxo and Morrison
counties, Minnesota. and several
thousand acres of land in Douglas
county. Fifteen quarter sections OF
land within the city limits of Super
iur are included in the list, and We're
worth at one time about $500 an
acre.
Mr.. Stinson has about $5D.On'
solidated Land company. He was
we'll known in this city and was one
OF those who. in conjunction with s.
A. Douglas, J. G. Breckenridge, r. j.
Walker and others laid GU. the orig
inal plat OF the city OF Superior, in
1854.

A Clever Pole.

Frank Drellock, Of the town OF
Swan River recently returned from
a lengthy visit at Dulu h. where he
became possessed of certain spirit
ualistic powers, he claims. Frank
has succeeded in creating consider
able excitement among he natives
OF his town, not 81 much by exhilL
itions OF his powers, as by the cou.
ii1ent manner in which he asserts
his ability to perform all manner Oi
strange things. One of Frank
neighbor. was In town last evening
and he so firmly believes that Frank
can raise the dead and converse with
them, that he did not have the
courage to accompany Frank to the
cemetery to ace the miracle performed
when Frank invited him to do 80,
Others also aver that Frank can
make tables, chairs and other ar
ticles fly around through space and
talk without touching them. Frank
ia, no doubt. wise enough to know
that he is in a neighborhood where
such "pipe" dreams would be given
considerable credence, and he is, per
haps. having considerable fun at the
expense Of the peace OF mind of some
OF his too credulOus neighbours We
wOu Il not ne surprised to see Frank
es@aying the role OF divine healer
some time in the near future.

enforce the law relntiny to the sale
M intoXirilnC|, cigarettes. etc, to

wishes it understood, however, that
this movement was not inauyur:tted
upon the authority OF any one or
two me ,nberA The matter was
carefully considered by the society
and finally acted up n by the board

sanction or permit the adoption Of
any radical measures without
