ANOTHER OLD SETTLER.
Eber H. BLY,, OF Bismark, \. d.. is
Dsad-Wa One of the pio-
neers of Superior.

EDer II. BLY, of Bismark, \. D., died
recently at his home in that city. He
was young man when he came to
Superior in the sos and was employed
as clerk at the original Superior
hotel. Afterwards he was g member
of the mercantile firm of Bradshaw,
BY & Co, Of which the late Peter
Bradshaw was the senior member. He
remained in business in Superior until
in the los, when he was associated
with Loren Fletcher of Minneapolis,
in the firm of Fletcher, Bly, & Co..
railroad contractors, and removed
from Superior to Brainard, Mimi,
was engaged in the mercantile bust
ness there until work was resumed in
the construction of the Northern Pa
citic, when he moved westward again,
finally locating at Bismark. There he
became the managing proprietor of
the principal hotel, the Sheridan
House, and was one of the noted
leaders in promoting the interests of
the city. lie assisted materially in
making of Bismark the capitol Of the
Territory, and when the Territory was
divided, with able workers, he
helped to retain the seat of govern
ment For North Dakota
He was at the head of the Bismark
Water Co. when it undertook to supply
the city from an artisan Well-an eX
pertinent which was finally Abandoned
when the well had been sunk about
through the deep drift which covers
that part of the Missouri Valley
Then his company constructed the
present water works by which Bis
mark is abundantly supplied with
good water pumped from the big
Muddy Missouri into settling and
tiltering reservoirs.
Mr.. Bly, was also a pioneer in intro
ducing the use of Ignite coal. He
opened the Baby Mine" from which
Bismark and Mandan were supplied
for two seasons, when its use having
become general FOR heating and for
stationary engines, other and larger
deposits OF Ignite were opened
As late as 1896 Mr.. Bly, still held
considerable valuable property in Su
periOr, which he had acquired forty
years before A few of his lots, when
he bought the choice ones, We're
placed in the name of his baby daugh-
ter. Some of the lots are, we believe,
still held in his name
He was married while a resident of
SUPERIOR. but died widower, leaving
MS one child, the daughter, surviving
him.
Like most of the early settlers of
Superior, Mr.. BLY, was so much inter
ested in this place that he never aban-
doned the early hope OF its ultimately
becoming a large and wealthy com
merciai city.

Newspapers IN Ame-oa
Time has demonstrated that the
Thrice a week World stands alone i'll
its class. Other papers have initiated
its form but not its success. This is
because it tells all the news all the
time and tells it impartialiy, whether
the news be political or otherwise. 1t
is, in fact, almost a daily at the price
of a weekly and you cannot afford to
be without it.
Republican and Democrat alike can
read the Thrice a week World with
absolute confidence in its truth.
in addition TO news, it publishes
first class serial stories and other
features suited to the home and fire
side.
The Thrice a week Worlds regular
subscription price is only 81 90 per
year and this pays for l56 papers. We
offer this unequalled newspaper and
SUPERIOR TINES together one year for
II Is.
The regular subscription price of
the two papers is > 90.

TELEPHONE COMPANY
WAS NOT TO BLAME
Manager Says That
the Advertiser Pre-
varicates.
OPERATORS WERE NOT ASLEEP
CALL FROM THE POI FACTORY
WAS NOT RECEIVED AT
THE OFFICE.
OPERATORS WERE NOT ASLEEP
Line Was Broken and Was Reported
to Be Out of Order Too Late
To Be Repaired On the Night of
the Murder.

According to the story told by SUI
| perintendent Cochrane of the local
telephone company, the distorted yarn
published in morning paper of this
city in the issue of Monday, does the
telephone company an injury. The &C
lines which intimated that the opera
tor who was on duty at the telephone
Office, was asleep when the call was
sent in from the discoverer of the I'M
fortunate victim of the occurrences
which took place at the poi
factory belonging to Judge Wilcox,
early Friday morning. Old Kukuma,
who was beaten terribly by an I'M
known robber, would have died in
any event as a result of his injuries;
but if the operator was asleep. the
company would have been as much to
blame as if the man had been allowed
TO die as direct consequence of the
negligence of its employe. But Coch-
rane's story puts very different as
pect on the affair.
THE whole story in the Advertiser
is incorrect. unjust and unfair to this
company" said the superintendent.
I'm the first place, We keep record
of all calls in a special book kept for
that purpose All the calls coming in
between the hours of IL p. m. and s
a. M are noted very carefully and no
call from white 31S1' was received,
when it is said to have been given.
and know that il any one Of the oper
ators on duty at the time was awake.
the call would have been most GER
tainly noted in the book.
AS there are three operators on
duty all night it does not seem posi-
BILE that all three of them could have
fallen asleep at the same time and
only remained in that condition for
twelve minutes and then suddenly
awakened to make an entry in the
book. But that state OF facts must
have existed. IL the story in the Ad-
vertiser is even approximately true
The facts of the case are really these:

Il is absurd 10 say that the Board OF
Health could have paid for its ca,l-
paign against the buboaiC plague with
anything like the money that sp:asceSi

The cholera fight simply called for
cleaning up the town, giving il daily
inspection. caring for the sick. burying
the dead and burning few houses
When the bubonic plague got Roadway
the Board of Health was charged with
the feeding and care of tvo-thirds ~
the Oriental population for over three
months; about thirty acres of build
ings were burned: a small army OF
guards had 10 be used TO keep the ORR

augmented. costly autopsies were per
formed and doctors were employed TO
follow up chains of infection 10 the

imported from France: rat boraty

bills as published in the Advertiser

Saved the Situation.

A story is told Of q certain singer
which shows that he possessed not on
" musical ability but admirable pres
ence of mind. On the occasion of his
first appearance his voice was some
what harsh, and his vocal efforts were
greeted with Kisses from the disap-
pointed audience.
Without appearing to be in the least
moved by this unpleasant reception,
the young artist looked calmly down
at the crowd Of listeners and said:
Gentlemen, It is a pity to hear you
whistle SO badly; allow me to give
you a. lesson"
Upon that he began to whistle in a
most exquisite manner the varied
airs of an opera which was very popu-
lar at the time.
At this unexpected turn OF affairs
silence and then prolonged applause
succeeded to the Kissing, and from that
time on, whether he sang or whistled,

Small Fire at Buffalo Exposition.

Buffalo, N. Y, Special.-A fire which
for a time threatened to SUI seri-
Gus proportions occurred at the Pan
American Exposition grounds Thurs
day night. The blaze started in a mid
way show. Two of the performers
were badly burned, while trying to ex-
tinguish the flames. Just before the
theatre performance was ended smoke
was e coming from one of the small
buildings in the concession. The cry
of fire almost caused a panic in the
theatre. There was q. mad rush for
the exits, but fortunately the crowd
was not large and no one was injured,
sponded to the aIarm and the flames
