No Convention at Superior.

Because of the action of the
Civic League of Superior in put
ting a stop to Sunday picnics
held by the members of the Red
Mems Lodge which were trying
to raise funds in order to enter
tain the members of the conven.
ton, the whole thing has been
called off and the convention will
go to some other city. The
Superior Red Men after a good
deal of hard work succeeded in
landing the convention for their
city and during the win ter had
given a number of dances and
entertainments for the pur pose
of raising funds. They had also
planned to have a number of
Sunday picnics for the same pur-
pose but the attitude of the
Civic League in putting a stop
to these has been the reason for
the throwing up of the conven-
ton. It is not known yet just
where the convention will be
held.

About the time he gets too long for short trousers, and not long enough for long ones he goes away to college, learns how to monkey with a three dollar man. dolin and play whiskey-poker. He cometh home a bigger fool than ever and marrieth sweet young thing whose pa is supposed to be wealthy, but whom he suh- sequently ascertaineth, could mt buy the prize rooster at a county fair. He worrieth along from year to year, gradually acquiring offsprings, until his home resemb- les a Sunday school class just be- fore Christmas. He fretteth through the day and lieth awake nights trying to figure out how to keep himself and his dependent population out of the poor house. Efforts are rewarded by having his daughters run away and get married and bring him home a nice son in-law every few days to feast at his board. His sons grow up and call him governor and set him back a five spot every day or two. About the time he has &C., quired enough lucre to make it worth while for his heirs to quar- rel over, he contracts a cold and is hurried away before he has time to have talk with his family. His sons blow in his estate on bad whiskey and plug hats, and his wife puts.the finishing touches to his career by marrying the hired man.

 REST AND CHOICEST MEATS

It has pleased the Commander in Chief of the Universe to call our fellow guardsman, James Mayfeld to the tents of the dead. To the call of the last bugle he has ans wered "here". We join those who are sworn to protect the life and property of our state in de- ploring the loss of good soldier and grieving with the family over the loss of a son. But we do we'll to bear in mind that there is day when the trumpeter of God will take his bugle of gold and blow the grandest call in the world, the "Reveille", and then we'll see our comrade rlse to his reward for a faithful performance of duty. The deceased was born July the 9, 1882, and departed this life July 26th. 1906.

? 100 o'clock, by a fierce wind. The wind was of such ferceness, that it blew the Methodist church some Is inches off it's foundation. The two large, tall chimneys on the south side of the new school building, which extended 19 feet above the roof, were blown over crushing in the slate roof, below them. The large tent which had just been raised in which revival is to begin, was blown to the ground. Rev. A. c. Cloves, c. B. Cook, c. l.. Jones and J. T. Atkin- son were under the tent when the storm came. Mr. Cook was the only person to receive any injuries. The damage done to the church will amount to $3OO.00 while that of the school house will be some- thing near $250.00.

WHITE LAKES PICNIC

The people of McCrory, and Barnes township, enjoyed them selves at birthday pinic and fish fry given in honor of Miss Ruth PowelPs 18th birthday, at White Lake some three and one half miles northeast of our town last Tuesday. Quite crowd was pres ent and every one had a good time. Among the humorous things that took place there we note the fol lowing. Some of the young ladies went strolling down the lake sever al hundred yards to where, they thought, "man had never explored" to go wading and when they had relived themselves of their foot wear, and were wading in the water of the lake, near the bank, all at once, to their surprise, a loud cry of man was heard on the op- posite shore, saying to another "Hurry on with the kodac l'' No ship, steam-engine or blaming mill ever made a noise equal to the one sent up by the girls, when this "man-cry" was heard. If the photographer made success of the picture, he can certainly make little piece of money off our boys for we heard several offer as much as $2.5O for one of the pictures.
 Boat-rides, walks up and down the lake, fishing etc., constituted part of the days programe. The dinner was grand success,-fsh, meats, cakes, coffee and everything good to eat, usually found at such a place was there in great abund- ance. It was complete success.

ROAD SWATS THE MILLERS
NORTHERN PACIFIC CONSIDERS
KNOCKING OUT PROPORTIONAL
TARIFFS BETWEEN MINNEApo.
LIS AND DULUTH.

The Northern Pacific is seriously CON
sidering the adoption of a policy of re-
fusing to participate in proportional
tariffs with other roads in the, shipment
from Minneapolis to Duluth. That is.
says the Northwestern Miller: it con.
templates charging a local rate on
wheat from western points on it's own
lines to Minneapolis, and then exacting
the local rate Of ~ cents hundred
pounds on flour from Minneapolis to
Duluth. At present, this road ac cepts
a proportional rate on -four from Min
neapolis to Duluth of about 5 cents.
The -four going to Duluth via the
Northern Pacific would be for lake shin.
ment eastward
The Northern Pacific should it adopt
this course, would do SO as a. retalia-
tory move against Minneapolis millers.
This road charges that when it has
plenty Of rolling stock and wants flour
to haul to Duluth, local ymillers pa.
tronize it only meagerly; that when
cars are scarce and in great demand
as was the case last winter, the millers
expect the Northern Pacific to con
tribute it's quota.
Should the road retaliate in this
manner on Minneapolis, it would doubt
less aim to favor the outside mills on
its lines and afford them such facili
ties as would not, only assist them IN
competing with Minneapolis mills, but
encourage their greater development.

SUDDEN RISE IN
MISSISSIPPI RIVER

The Mississippi river rose eighteen
inches at the pumping stations last
night, and caused a great deal OF trou-
BILE on both sides of the. river. Work
on the improvements Of the forebay
at the Northeast station had to be. dis
continued on account of the flood.
There is likely to be considerable delay
in the work from, the high water, but
this will cause no serious Inconvenience,
as the Camden, Place station is now in
frst-class running order. But it is a
little more expensive to run than the
Northeast station, and for that reason
the waterworks authorities are anxious
to get back into the new station.
At Camden Place the high water, by
bringing down large quantities Of dirt
and debris. has filled the wells from
which the pumps draw their supply
with stuff that should not be found in
water used for culinary purposes, and
the city water, on that account, is hard
~ to be recommended for drinking pur-
poses unless it is distilled. The pres
ence Of all this foreign matter in the
wells keeps the pumphouse crew busy
all the time in keeping the racks and
sleeves clean.
There is no danger to either station
from high water and none is expected,
as the snow has about all disappeared,
and the chances of an unusual freshet
are remote
