was taken until FRIDAY OF THIS week.

date dance, and it promises to be

There is a strong probability that
the elegant steamers, the Northwest
and the Northland, will not run be-
tween Duluth and Buffalo next year,

up over the prospect of losing the
boats, and are making strong
effort to have the steamship COM
pany change their plans.
Call on DIR. A. G. Hebberd if you

hardware and furniture dealers are
in line, there will be little opportun

to enjoy life little during the win
