Ashland. The many friends OF the

Henry J. Weeks, who installed the.
Weeks a bstract system in this city
a year ago, has been married to Miss
Hattie Miller, who for many years
resided in this city. The wedding
took place at Iron Mountain, Michi-
gan, where Miss Miller was at work

abstract system.
Kenfeld & Lamore9x have con-
tracts for a large part of the slabs
and refuse from the mills at Ashland
and Washburn. and will handle a
very large part OF all that comes
from the mills. They use this class
OF material in the manufacture of
the products of their factory. The
firm is crowded to their fullest
capacity in the filling of orders.

In the suits brought a couple of
years ago to recover from Ex-Coun-
ty Treasurer VIM. Knight and Ex-
County Clerk John Froseth sums
paid for clerk hire in their offices,
| the Supreme Court has reversed the
decision of the lower courts in rem
dering judgment against Messrs.
Knight and F'roseth, holding that
the claims were legally paid by Bay
field county. Several thousand dol
lars were involved.
Mr.. r. 0. Tarbox. secretary of the
Chequamegon Bay Transportation
Company, was in the city Monday,
making some arrangements prelim-
mary to the opening of navigation.
Mr.. Tarbox informs us that the
Steamer Mary Scott of his line will
commence her season this week. and
that the new boat "Chequamegon,
now being built at Manitowoc will be
here between the Goth and 25th of
May. The Scott will take her old
run between here. and Ashland,
while the Chequamegon will have
practically the same run as was oc-
cilpied for many years by the Plow-
| boy, The new boat will be a beauty,
and it is expected that it will be run
to and from the Island on such time
as will give pleasure seekers and re-
sorters an opportunity to spend their
evenings at Madeline The new
hotel proposition which Mr.. Tarbox
had under way for Madeline Island
has been abandoned, owing to the
fact that the island went dry in the
spring election, by reason of which
many of the subscribers to stock for
the enterprise, wished to retire from
the proposition. A suitable dining
room will be fixed up on the island
and sleeping apartments will be pro-
vided, perhaps by the use Of large
new tents, so that Madeline can be
made to boom considerably this
season.
We have few bushels Of King
Philip seed corn for sale, guaranteed
to ripen in this section.
