Jenkins disappeared. The jolly old

Boat Aground

The Steamer Onoka is aground
on Ironwood island, one of the
Apostle groups, having gone a
shore late Monday. The Onoka
was damaged in a collision
while backing out from the ele-
vator docks at Superior on Mon
day morning but the captain of
the boat did not think the boat
had been injured to any great
extent and proceeded down the
lakes. When he reached the
Apostle islands the boat began
to list and a bad leak was dis
covered just below the water
line. The captain ran the boat
aground on Ironwood island
where she is now safe. A
wrecking crew and : divers were
sent down from Duluth Tues
day to repair the damage and
the boat will proceed down the
lake as soon as this has been
done.

Grandma Custin Dead

Mrs. Lucina Gustin, age 81
years, passed away at the home
of her son-in-law d, w. Corning
in this city Tuesday afternoon,
old age being given as the cause
of her death. For the past six
months or more Mrs. Gustin
has been in poor health but not
not until the last two or three
months has she been confined
to her bed. The last few weeks
her health has failed rapidly
and death came as a relief to her
sufferings.
The funeral was held this
afternoon at two o'clock from
the residence, Rsy. H G. Rehm
|of the Congregational church
preaching the funeral sermon.
The remains were laid to rest by
the side of her husband and only
daughter in the city cemetary in
this city,:
Mrs. Gustin was born in Troy
New Hampshire, where she re.
sided with her parents until a.
bout ten years of age. The fami-
ly then moved west and located
at Oakdale, Monroe Co. Wis.
where they resided until 1881
when they moved to Minnesota.
Mr.. and Mrs. Gustin came to
this city in 1889 and made their
home with d. w. Corning. Mrs.
Gustin was we'll known through.
out the city and was well liked
by all who knew her. The SYM
pathy of the community goes
out to the sorrowing relatives
d uring their sad bereavement.

COUNCIL MEMBERS
NAV QUIT JOBS
A Number Thinking. of Re-
signing Positions
In Which Event a Special
Election Would Have
To be Held.

There was report current about
the city Wednesday to the effect
that the members of the city council
against whom suit ! has been started
for the recovery of the amount ofa
claim allowed the Washburn Plumb
ing & Heating Co. were thinking of
resigning their position.
The claim over which the suit a
gainst the aldermen was started
was allowed at the last meeting of
the council. The amount of the
claim was $S66.3S and was for the
installation of of boiler i'm the city
hall building. Those bringing the
suit allege that the claim is an illegal
one and that the council members
conspired in allowing the same.
The council members, who serv e
without pay, feel that the people of
the city do not appreciate the work
that they have been doing for the
city and therefore, it is said, many
are considering resigning. A meet
ing of the aldermen was held one
evening this week and the matter
was discussed at some length, and it
is said that those against whom the
suit has been brought are thinking OF
resigning their positions. The alder
men would neither confirm or deny
the report, one however did say that
such course was talked of.
In the event that the aldermen
should resign in a body special
election would have to be held to
fill vacancies. The law provides
that majority of the council can
fill the vacancies existing, but should
the seven members resign there
would not be enough left to hold q
meeting.

CHURCH SUPPER A SUCCESS
Over Sixty Attend Supper
Given by the Cong.
Mems Club.

The second annual supper given
by the Mems Club of the Congrega-
tional church was held at the church
parlors on Tuesday evening of this
week and was a decided success in
every particular. Over sixty accept
ed the invitation of the Mems Club
and attended the supper and listened
to the addresses that followed. The
supper, which consisted of roast beef
and brown gravy, mashed potatoes,
squash, rolls, pickles and many other
good things, was served at six thirty
o'clock and. was prepared by the
women of the church. 1t was
thoroughly enjoyed by all men
present. After the supper c. A..
Lamoreaux of Ashland delivered a
very fine address, giving an account
of his travels through the west and
stating his reason for returning again
to northern Wisconsin. The address
of Mr.. Lamoreaux was one that
would put enthusiasm into almost
everyone and make them think that
this part of the country is the only
one in which to live. The address
was thoroughly enjoyed. j. P.
O'Conner of the Extension Division
of the University of Wisconsin,
followed Mr.. Lamoreaux with short
talk, explaining the work of his
division, Attorney John Walsh and
Rev. HI. c. Rehm also gave a short
talk. Nels M. Oscar acted as toast
master. After the addresses the
crowd adjourned to the church where
song service was held.
1t was an evening in which good
fellowship reigned supreme and all
were glad that they had attended.
Suppers of this kind have a tendency
to bring men closer together, and
more of them should be held.
