Invalids will find tho climate of
Alpena admirably adapted to their
necessities. Tho air is generally
cool and invigorating, and the
nights agreeable and refreshing,
so that a person can enjoy sound
sleep. The people are lively and
constantly projecting some social
amusement. Weather permitting,
steamboats, and mails arrive and
depart daily.
Rhcumatics have already learned
Of the curative properties Of the
magnetic well, and many who suf-
fcrcd from this painful disease have
experienced relief by using its
waters. The mineral water was
struck at depth of 900 feet below
tho surface, and the water is con-

which are called 'Artcsian.' The list
class where parties have tubed down In
soil and gravel and have not entered or

obtained from flowing through some al
luvial strata, and which can not, strictly
speaking, be called mineral waters. And
End, those which como from a great depth
in the rock, and from which all superb

are the true Artcsian wells. The danger

Further to tho north are San

dock, from which a large amount
of cedar posts, house blocks, and
telegraph poles have been shipped
to other ports.
Between Middle Island and
Thunder Bay Island, is the reef on
which white fish east thcir spawn
every year. During the spawning
season, the fish in countless num-
bers swarm about tho rocky bottom,
and hundreds Of barrels of them
get entanglcd in The gill nets, which
extends in all directions along the
reef, thus become the prize of the
fishermen. The depth of water on
the reef averages about seven faith
oms, although at ono point the
water is only four fathoms. The
reef is about five miles from shore.

Legal Integrity.

1t may be asked what we mean

1t was Judge Lurlington's own

Halfa dozen young lawyers, fresl

Supervisors Of Election Marshal Wal
laos Interviewed.

The election law Of tho United
States provides for the appointment
or supervisors Of elections and
1eputies. The former are appoint
ed by the United St>tcs Commission
CTS. In making these appointments,
tho Commissioners arc bound to
choose ono from each political party,
i'll o>dcr that both parties shall be
equally represented ut tho polls.
The deputies arc appointed by
;ho United Stntcs Marshal, who usos
his own discretion in these appoint
mcnts.
\ reporter OF the Jo.r2suI Of
Commerce clllod upon United States
Marshal r. III. Wallace in order to
ascertain from him how no intended
to mako these appointments, md
clciteI the following facts. The
Ma, shrl stated that it was left with
HIM entirely whom ho should ap-
point, that there were certain coun-
ties in tho State in which he would
appoint none bu5 Republicans, that
h. did not think that he could trust
Democrat in those counties. Thoro
were other coUntics in which he
would make tho appointments equal
between the two political parties,
and that there wcrc certain other
counties in which ho did not deem
IL necessary to make any appoint-
mcntS Whatever.
When asked why it WIS that he
intended to choose from but ono
political party il certain OF the
upper counties, he replied, that he
wns responsible for all deputies up
pointed, AMI would not feel author
izel to choose from tho Democrats
in hose counties, for that they have
oponiy announced that no Republi-
cans would vote there, and he did
not SEQ how he could trust the
! Democrats in those counties and
he would not assume the responsi-
bility upon himself, as ho was in q
great measure accountable for tho
actions of al@'tho deputies whom ho
might appoint.

Chairman Of tho Executive Commit.
tees for each county should recon-
mend certain parties for the appoint
mont, no would approve Of the same
and commission them, he answered
that he wouldinvestigatc tho matter,
and if the parties were such as he
thought could be trusted, he cor
tainly would, and that he Wo,lld ba
glad if the Democrats of oach
county would send in tho names Of
parties whom they wished to recom~
mend for these appointments, so as
to give him om opportunity to inves~
tigatc.

How Sleeping-Car Thefts are Made

>, --l
a. discovery was recently made
on O sleeping car on the Little
Miami railroad, which lifts heavy
load of suspicion from the con-
ductors and porters. It is always
the case when passenger in a
sleeping-car is robbed that the
porter or conductor first falls into
dispute. Then, if they are not
found to be guilty, it is taken for
granted that thieves are in some of
the bcrths, and honest passengers
are made uncomfortable by being
suspected Of being common thieves.
A ludy made the discovery above
alluded to. She was awakened at
point where tho train stopped for
water, not a station, by fnling
mans hands rummaging her berth
for valuables. She gave the alurm,
too late to catch the man, but in
time to make tho discovery that the
thief was neither conductor, porter
nor passenger, but u scoundrel WHO
reached tho open window of tho
berth from the outside, by standing
on the chains or rods That stretch
bolow the car, near the edge. It is
nota comfortable position, but it
enables al expert thief to make a
pretty minute inspection of a sleep
ing berth, without entering the car.
