The SchoolllOuSe.

Last Tuesday upon the invitation OF
Mr.. M. w. Horn, of the School Board, a
reporter of the TRIBUNE visited the
school building to ascertain the results
of the efforts which were being made to
render the building safe. The heavy
iron rods, described i'm our last issue. had
been put in position through the build
ing. The pressure was then brought to
bear by means of the screws on the rods
with the most satisfactory results. They
succeeded in getting the walls back near
ly into their original position. The i'm
mense strength of the rods together
with the support given to the walls by
the large washers, and the improvement
in the drainage, should, we think, re-
move all fears of danger from the minds
of our citizens. With the efficient corps
of teachers secured by the board we see
no reason why the school in all its
branches should not be largely attended,
thus securing successful session. which
would be great benefit to all the young
of the village.

A Diafefic Exnerinent.

A few weeks since young lady came
to the village to spend portion of the
summer. Soon after her arrival she an
nOunced her intention of subsisting an
entire week upon huckleberries alone.
Nothing that her friends could say either
in argument or derision could swerve
her from her purpose. Before leaving
home she had told her friends of her in
tentions, and she meant to make her
word good. She commenced her rather
spare diet on the morning of the 23d of
August and successfully accomplished
her undertaking on the Goth, having
eaten nothing but huckleberries for seven
DAYS. She felt no inconvenience from
this diet, not even feeling more than or
dinarily hungry. She ate nothing ex-
cept at regular meal times. Although
there is probably no doubt about people
having lived for that length of time upon
berries alone, when nothing else could
be obtained, we think that this is the
first time any one has accomplished the
feat simply as an experiment.

The Northern Transportation Company.
In regard to the management of this
well-known and heretofore popular line
of propellers the Cleveland Herald says
The Northern transportation Line was
sold to the Vermont Central Railway
Company and the bonds of that company
taken in payment. The line has been
running under the management of that
railroad corporation for few years, and
the unfortunate or laundering conduct
which bas marked the land operations
OF the Vermont Central left its impress
sion on their water interest also. 1t is no
news to those at all acquainted with the
line that for the past two or three years
it has been running down at heel" and
losing fast the popularity it formerly
enjoyed. The reason for this lay not in
the immediate managers Of the steam
boat line, or in those employed on it, but
in the impolitic and vexatious orders
from Boston.
The affairs of the railroad, which have
been for some time in disorganized
state, at last brought on a violent quarrel
among the managers and proprietors. A
judicial investigation is now going on
which has so far revealed very unsatis-
factory condition of things. In the mean
time the Northern Transportation Line
was suffered to lie idle. No provision
was made for running the boats this sea-
son, nor was any decision come to wheth-
er they would be run at all. The obliga-
tiOns to the bondholders were not met
and the property which formed the Sc
curity for these obligations was rapidly
deteriorating through want of use and
absence of care. Under these circum-
stances recourse was had to the courts,
the line was taken possession of for the
benefit of the bondholders, and a receiver
appointed. A number of the steamers
have been fitted out, and once more the
popular "white smoke-pipes" are travers-
ing the lakes. The line has gone back
into the hands of its old managers, who
gave it the great popularity it formerly
eniOyed.

A Cheboygan Firm Abroad.


The contract for the construction OF
the lock and dam at Copperas Creek on
the Illinois River has, we understand
been assigned to Messrs. William and
Archibald Macarthur, of Macarthur
Smith 6 Co., of this place, who are now
actively prosecuting the work. 1t is es-
timated that this improvement will cost
about 100000. Of this amount the
United States have appropriated $780,
600, and the balance of the amount will
be paid by the state of Illinois. The lock
walls are now about half laid and nearly
all the stone is on the ground.
1t is expected that the lock abutments
for the dam and the guard banks will be
completed by the first of January next.
The dam, which will be composed OF
stone and timber, will not be built till
next season,
This lock and the one heretofore built
by the state at Henry for the improve
ment of the navigation Of the Illinois
River rank among the largest and finest
structures of their kind in America. The
chamber dimensions are over three hun
dred feet between the gates and seventy
five feet in width. Some idea of the
character and magnitude Of the work
may be had from the statement that over
one hundred thousand pounds of iron
and seventy thousand feet, board measure
of white oak timber will be required fol-
the gates, attachments and fixtures of this
lock. Mr.. Samuel G. Jenny is the en-
gineer in charge Of this work.

More Stealing.

Thursday evening two men entered
Morris Wertheimer's store, and while
one of them endeavored to engage Mr..
Wertheimer's attention, the other pro-
ceeded to secrete a pair of pants. He
was seen, however, and as soon as he left
the store was followed by Mr.. Vert.
heimer and arrested and turned over to
an officer. He gave bis name as John
Williams. He was taken to jail and Fri.
day morning taken before Justice SUIT
ton who fined him So or ten days in
Jail. This, for the offence, was very light
punishment, but the fellow will probably
leave the place when the time is up.

Inc Arrest of Two Parties Suspected of
being Implicated-The Examination in
Progress.
Ever since the burglary of Post s. Van
Arsdale the officers have been on the
watch for some clue to the thieves. Sew
eral other petty thieving operations, and
the robbery of M. O'Connors saloon, led
them to believe that there was gang of
these fellows operating in the village.
From some acknowledgements made
by Eli Defrain, it was suspected that
he had hand in the business, and ac-
cordingly on Thursday he was arrested
and placed in Jail. Friday another sus-
pected party, man who had been kick
ed OFT OF the st. Joe. at this port two
weeks ago. and who had been Swallowed
for some days was arrested, and although
he stoutly denied any knowledge Of the
Post burglary, knife and a revolver
which were identified as having been
taken from the store, was found upon
his person. He was also the individual
who was with the man Williams. when
he stole pair Of pants from Mr.. Wer-
theimer on Thursday evening. From
some trades known to have been made
between these parties, it is also quite GER
tain that they had hand in the tapping
of O'Connors' till.
The examination of Defain COM
menced before Justice Sutton Friday
afternoon, George w. Bell appearing for
the people, and j. j. Brown for the de-
PENDANT. The trial was not finished, but
will be continued to-day.
There seems but little doubt but that
the guilty parties have been arrested,
and it is to be hoped that their prosecu-
ton will be SO swift and their punish
ment so severe that it will be warning
to all evil minded persons to shun Che
bOygan. 1s.s-

DINNER.

While the preparations for the meal
were going forward number of the Wis
itors took small boats and tried fishing.
The day did not seem favorable for that
SPORT, only a few being taken. Then
came the dinner, which was gotten up in
picnic style, but seemed to be none the
less enjoyed on that account, as few
hours ride upon the water seemed to be
very conducive to hunger.

THE WEATHER.

When morning dawned the weather
looked anything but propitious, for the
sun rose in a heavy shower of rain.
However little after seven the signs
looked little more favorable, and the
party started. Later in the day the wis
dom of this course was shown, for the
weather cleared, and they day was all
that could be desired.
