MINISTERS OBJECT.
Do Not Like Streets of Cairo, Sapho
and the German Village.

West Superior, July 16.-Members
of the ministerial association 1-of the
city threaten that the Elks will not
again be allowed to have such earn
ival in the city as they had during the
past week. The streets of Carlo, Sapho
and the German village are the places
that are taken exception TO by the
ministers. Rev. n. F. Wright says
that he would have taken steps to
have these three places closed this past
week had he not known that public
sentiment would have been against
him, while another time, he says, he
will take immediate steps to prevent
such things going on as he alleges
took place in the three places men
toned last week.
The result of the recent Elks' carni-
val held here will in all probability be
ten erection of a fine building suitable
for lodge and reading rooms for the
members of the Elks' lodge. The cost
of the building will probably be more
than $15, The carnival having
been such a great success in a money
making way, there will in all proba-
bility enough money in the building
fund to go ahead with the work at
once.
