A Remarkable Incident.

One of the most remarkable oc-
currences of which we ever heard
came under the observation of
Rev. B. F. Wilson, pastor of the
Christian church of this city. The
case referred to was that of a
young lady whom Bro. Wilson
had known from childhood, whom
he baptized into the church, and
for whom, about a year ago, he
said the marriage ceremony.
A few days ago the lady died,
leaving an infant. Before her
death, however, which occurred at
Sherman, Tex, she requested that
Bro. Wilson should preach her
funeral. She had been dead, sup
posedly, about an hour and prep
arations were all made for dress
ing her for the grave, when sud-
denly she opened her eyes and
began to talk. 81 have been to
heaven" said she, 'and while
there l beheld things of the most
transcendent beauty the eye ever
rested upon. l saw my father and
mother and my husbands grand
father. This latter named person
came to me and said, you need
not tell me who you are; you are
my grandson's wife," calling her
husband by name. Heretofore"
continued she, 81 have been afraid
to die; but now I am ready to go.
My married life was the happiest
year of my existence, and have
only come back for my baby"
She then took her own hand and.
drawing her eyelids down passed
gently away. In about an hour
her baby died, and both were
buried in the same coffin. Bro.
Wilson, as she requested, preached
the funeral. These are actual
facts as CLEANED from Bro. Wilson
by a reporter.-Plano (Ter.) Courier.

Water could not be had. The distance
from the mill was so great that water
could not be used as the pipes lie OH top
OF the ground and it being a severely
cold night nothing could be done to save
the building. All of the property inside
the building was saved except .one iron
Dcdsteads. 1t is bad loss as 1t was full

to look for other boarding places, The
property was well insured so we are in

probably not.

Boy Wanderers Return

Two boy wanderers, Martin Nichols
and RATS" Holden, have returned
from extended trips over the country.
The Holden boy has been back for
some time, while the Nichols boy re-
turned Tuesday evening from his
wanderings The story of the latter,
rs far ~ the story has been told, is
perhaps moro interesting H. no but IL

The Nichols boy disappeared in No

at his Billings Park home until Tues
day night. The twelve year old
youngster has but little to say about

police have been searching for him

tie that he has said, that he has been

The Phantom Wood Pile.

Truly every cloud has "silver lin
ing" and otis an i'll wind that blows ne
one any good" The severe cold
weather of the past few days has found
at least one semi-resigned party in
Old Town. While "old sett ersh
shake their hoary locks and stand
agast at the pitiless frolics of the
mercury in the thermometer bulb and
the solitary pedestrian more adven-
turous than the rest, hurries by envel
oped in shroud of frost, the Superior
Times has had reason to smile from
self satisfaction from the warm seclu
sion Of the editorial den"
Without the sanctum, thanking the
the walk in evenly placed, seif-re-
specting piles loom several cords of
the forests best product of tamarack
whence they go has been a most Vi
tai topic of conversation the past
week in Old Town, ranking second
arily and indirectly only IN import
ance with that of the weather In
auiry has elected no tangible infor-
nation. Investigation has disclosed
the evidence that the fuel arrived In
phantom like manner between mid
night and 300 a. m. Sunday morning
last at the beginning of the cold snap.
The time Of arrival of the first in
stallment can not be placed more ac-
curately than within these limits as
the solitary Old Town policeman con
fesses to have been asleep n his beat
at that time. The fact Is well attest
ed to tnat each frigid morning the
past week disclosed larger sized
woodpile.
The Superior Times has heard sew
eral plausible explanations of this
| new, Cast End phen omeHon. The
! first-that advanced by the God.f fear
! ing populace-is to the effect that the
wood pile was the direct ministration
of Providence sent in recognition OF
| the unusual severity OF the weather.
Dame Rumor has hard headed,
practical explanation. She asserts
that the mysterious fuel supply was
| brought by a conscience smitten
rural subscriber, who, in this way
is squaring up his subscription for the
rast quarter century to the popular
| family journal" The Times inclines
to this belief, graciously acknowledg-
| es the benefaction and awaits eagerly
| the additional time honored rural
donations of -four, pork, cabbages,
bed room suits, baby carriages etc,

take the strenuous Teddy''in really
serious manner, The support that
he has given the President has been
of negative, luke-warm nature.
As the time for the national cam
paign approaches, however, the ONO
senator realizes more and more his
anomalous position rendered more so
by large personal following eagerly
urging his own candidacy. Apparent
forcible denials of his willingness to
line up as a candidate for the APP
preaching ARRAY have done little to
auell the ardor of the Hanna hosts
who urge that he is the only candi-
date that can be put forth. the fact
that although denying his own
candidacy, Senator Hanna by his
lack of open endorsement OF
President Roosevelt lays seemingly
strong ground of doubt of Roosevelt
nomination. The members OF the
Democrat party draw innumerabie
deductions from Hanna's silence.
The truth of the matter is, however
that although considerable follow
ing and the monied interests OF the
country favor Hanna rather than
Roosevelt for the presidency and the
former himself u only negatively
favorable to the latter's cause, the
country knows but one popular presl-
Dental candidate. Before popular
will, Senator Hanna will undoubtedly
graciously bow and bestow upon
Roosevelt's suit his fatherly sanction,

New Ice Company Has Been
Formed.

A new ice company has been formed
in Superior.
The concern of which Former AL
derman Hanton aud Andrew Newburg
are members, is SAID to be the result of
the persistence of the other Superior
ice dealing concerns in maintaining
high prices the year round. Patrons
say that in this the dealing are not as
reasonable as the coal men. who gov
ern their prices according to the sea-
sons On the other hand consumers Of
the CONCEALED article declare that
they are compelled to pay % cents a
hundred in the winter time, notwith-
standing the fact that such thing
as an ice famine is unknown in this
locality, and Notwithstanding the fact
that the expense OF delivering it is
much cheaper in the winter.
With veiw of putting the company
on firm basis its representatives, for
the past few days have been busy
among the larger coDsum ers with the
result that by last night more than 100
contracts had been made. The butch
ers association has also conferred and
are considering the feasibility of max
contracts with the new company. The
latter offer to furnish ice for IS cents
a hundred pounds
1t Is understood that the flattering
responses received by the company's
representatives. have proved an assur.
ance of success, and that the harvest
ing OF large crop will begin at once.
The site for the storage houses will be
selected at once, the ice conveyed
thereto and the buildings erected as
fast as the ice stored The company
is now figuring on the amount necess
airy to harvest IN order to supply the
demand,
