We had very little idea when the news
reached us that the prisoners had desert
ed their quarters in the Jail that there
would be any efforts made to recapture
them. But in this We were mistaken.
Some mysterious conferences among the
officers led us to suppose that something
was in the wind, so We sent our reporter
out to see what details he could discover.
He found some difficulty in getting clue
to work upon, but finally he secured
some information that led him to sup
pose that the escaped prisoners had gone
to Old Mackinaw. A man had seen them
there. So definite was this Information
that some of the officers were dispatched
in that direction. 1t was not long after
wards that the reporter found another
man who was just as positive that they
had gone out towards Gaylord, for had
not Mr.. Lafave seen them? Then an
other man was just as confident that
they were still concealed somewhere in
the village. However, after getting all
the information together, it would seem
as if the prepOnderence of evidence was
in favor of their having gone to Gaylord.
They are gone, and it is to be hoped that
the next Jail they get into may be stronger
than ours.

ADeserved Compliment.

The life-saving work of the Michigan
Board of Health is meeting with comt
mendation on every hand. In a notice
of the anntiat report Of this society, the
American Journal of The medical sciences,
published at Philadelphia by DIR. Isaac l.
Hays, says: "Again we take pleasure in
welcoming an admirable volume from
the Michigan Board of Health. The en-
tire cost of the organization to the state
for the past year has been less than $4,-
600. We hope that the people will duly
appreciate the almost inestimable value
of the intelligent services so cheaply OBJ
tanned. Not only does the Board give to
the public most important warning,
counsel and instruction upon matters
closely affecting life and health, but also,
by most extensive system OF correspon
dence with local boards and physicians
throughout the state, it is amassing IN
formation as to climate. water, general
sanitary influences, the prevalence OF
different diseases, and the movements OF
epidemics, which will prove of the great
est future value" 1t comments on the
work done by various members OF the
Board, and alludes to DR.. kedzie as the
sindefatigable."

Abandoned His Contract.

AS noticed last week, the dredge to be
used for the inland navigation work was
being moved very slowly. 1t was moved
not over twice the length of it last week
and was in such bad place at the end o
that time, that it seemed like large un-
dertaking to get 1t few rods further up
on hard ground in tue street. Mr.. Ami
OF who had contracted to take the ma
chine over the dam threw up the con-
tract. This left things in rather bad
shape for quick commencement of the
upper river work. Howev,r, Mr.. Dorr,
who is here in charge of the dredge, i'm
mediately made contract with Capt.
Kirkland, of the Leviathan, who took
hold of the matter Wednesday. John
Vincent has the immediate charge of the
work. and they are commencing the work
in such shape that when another at
tempt is made to move the dredge they
expect it to 60 along all right.

improvements ON the North Shore

The section of country which hereto
fore hts been very little known. lying in
the upper peninsular about north OF this
place, is beginning to attract some atten-
ton for farming purposes, and already
considerable of the land has been taken
for that purpose. Mr.. j. ID. Smith, OF
Elkhart, Ind.has purchased from the state
several thousand acres of land in that sec
ton, upon which he expects to secure
the settlement of number of families
who will go energctically to work to i'm
prove it. Mr.. Smith in company with
the heads of four familiey went up to
Pine river last week, where they expect
to make beginning. They expect to
build, and to clear considerable land the
present season, having taken the teams
and material for that purpose. Should
arrangements be made which would Sc
cure the commencement of the Mackinaw
and Marquette railroad this year, it
would give great impetus to the settle
ment in this section of the state.

Last Sunday light the Crusader went
over to Mackinaw TO take over some par
ties who wished to 60 from here. About
one o'clock Monday morning she started
on her rrtllrn trip, and by mistake of
reckoning attempted to run between the
buoy at the end of the reef and the island.
The result was sudden step, and the
discovery that the bow of the boat was
about four feet out of water. She was
got off without any assistance from the
Leviathan," for two tugs, the Sweep
stakes and Mockingbird, were dispatched
from Port Huron to her relief, in response
to a telegraphic summons. The Sweep
stakes arrived first, and took her of
without difficulty. The Crusader was
not injured.

The Improvement Association.


The lack of interest which the cit.
liens OF Cheboygan display toward the
Improvement association does not show
well for the future of the place. just at
this time there is much that might be
done to enhance the growth of the place,
and the members of the association take
very little interest it. The merchants
and Manufacturers association" as sim
liar organization was called in Indianap-
oils achieved much for the place, but not
more than could be done by the Improve
ment association for Cheboygan, in pro
portion to the population and money ex-
pended. The Merchants and Manufac-
turers association sent out thousands of
circulars and newspapers setting forth
the advantages of the place as a manu-
featuring and business point. They in
vited correspondence, and, where follow
ed up, sent committees and got up nego-
tiations for sites and bonuses. Several
important factories were secured by this
exertion, and a large population follow
ed. The city was we'll advertised all
over the country by their efforts.
During the past year Cheboygan has
become better known over the country
than ever before. Those who had never
heard of the place are now familiar with
the name, and know something of it's ad-
vantages. The work should not stop
here. 1t should go on. With the proper
effort, and perhaps the expenditure of
a very small amount of money, we have
very little doubt that pail factory could
be one Of the Institutions of the place.
Perhaps tannery; and there is no bet
ter place in the state for this last named
enterprise. All that is required to Sc
cure these and many more important
enterprises, is organized and constant eff
fort. That is what made indianapolis
and many other places, and is what will
make Cheboygan.

state senator.

In speaking of the candidates men,
toned for the nomination of State Sena-
tor from this, the 3Oth, Senatorial dis
trict, we last week put in the claim that
should Cheboygan bring forward an un-
exceptionable candidate for the position,
that it would be entitled to the nomina-
ton. A weeks deliberation has only
confirmed us in that opinion. 1t is there
fore with pleasure and a good degree of
confidence that we bring forward the
name of Hon. Geo. w. Bell, of this place
as candidate for the position. Mr.. Bell
is lawyer of ability, and has for several
years occupied the position of Judge of
Probate for this county, to the entire sat-
isfaction of all. Of Mr.. Bells qualifica-
tions for the position. it is unnecessary
for us to speak to those of his friends
who reside in this county. and who have
known him for years. This Senatorial
district is large one, containing many
counties of varied interests, and for the
information of the Republicans of those
counties remote from Cheboygan we will
say that Mr.. Bell possesses qualifications
for the position unsurpassed by any one
mentioned in connection with the nomi-
nation. He is representative of the
younger element of the Republican
party, that element which has given the
life and energy to the party, the real work.
ing material of the party. This element
of strength should not be overlooked.
Mr.. Bell, although young man, is one
of the pioneers of this section of the
state, and has been identified with every
improvement which has turned the
wilderness of few years ago into a
prosperous, influential and growing
county that it nowis. Knowing thus from
experience the wants of new country,
Mr.. Bell possesses in an eminent degree
all the most important qualifications for
doing good and successful work for all
sections of the district, for the district is
composed of new and rapidly developing
counties. This portion of the state has
necessities peculiar to itself, and it is on
ly by sending representatives to our Leg
islature who are fully posted regarding
such necessities, that we can hope to Sc
cure such legislation as, the country de-
mands. Feeling confident that Mr.. Bell
would satisfactorily look to all the va
ried interests of this district, We urgently
press his name for tie nomination.

NORTHERN TRIBUNE.
The Round Island and Little Traverse
Light-HOusc Appropriations De-
roH

AS stated last week, and as is shown
by the small portion of the debate pub
lished elsewhere, Senator Ferry made all
the exertions possible for any one TO
make to save the Michigan harbor and
river appropriations in the Senate. He
succeeded in saving some, but the APP
preparations for the lighthouses at
Round Island and Little Traverse were
thrown out by the last committee of con-
ference, and the bill finally passed with
out them.
1t is but justice to Senator Ferry that a
statement Ibe made public showing
the rise and fall of these bills. Mr..
Ferry introduced these measures i'm the
early part of the session, and gave them
his personal attention until they were
thl Ough both Houses. Ordinarily this
would have been the end of the matter,
but this season it was different. These
bills were among the hundreds contained
in the sundry civil appropriation, or
Omnibus BILL" rs it is sometimes called.
Upon this bill as whole there was a
difference of some five millions of dollars
between the two Houses of Congress
the Senate desiring to be more liberal
with necessary appropriations. TO har-
monize these differences committee of
conference was appointed. The Demo
cratic managers on the part of the House
struck out with other matters the items
above named. Three times the Senate
refused to agree to the report of the COM
mittee of conference.-the Senate agree
ing with Mr.. Ferry that the interests of
true economy demanded the making of
such necessary improvements, as the
ones named. At last the President OF
the Senate appointed anew. conference,
but the House refused to recede from
its position, and the Senate was compelled
to agree to the report or lose the whole
bill, involving millions OF dollars. In
fact the Senate had ito concur i'm the re-
port which involved these items, or stop
the wheels of the government. which
would have been grave responsibility
of which the country would not approve.
The responsibility for this loss is not
with Senator Ferry or with the Senate,
but is the result of the so-callcd retrench-
ment and economy of the Democratic
House. The most of the reductions made
by that body of which so much is said,
are for improvements of this nature.
These lighthouses are necessity to the
safe commerce of the lakes, and to cut
off such improvements as would tend to
increase the safety of vessels travcrsing
these lakes. is not economy; it is extrav-
agance. Against these anu other reiuc-
tions of similar nature effecting the
great commerce Of the lakes, Mr.. Ferry
left his position of presiding officer of the
Senate, and for three days labored on the
floor to save them, but without avail.
This will probably show to some of the
people in these localities that the cry OF
economy and retrenchment is false one,
and thatit really means stop necessary
improvements.

For Europe.

The Marine editors of the Detroit pa
pers are not always as correct with their
marine reports as they might be. The
Post, last week, says that the tug Parker
was expected down soon with the
schoOners Thos. G. Street, Cambria, Pam
lico, and another, all bound for Europe,
from Lake Michigan. This may be par
TALLY true, but the vessels named were
loaded at this port, and have not gone at
once, the PamlicO being here most of
this week. The Post further states that
the vessels will be towed as far as Quebec,
after which they will set out for Europe.
1t is not expected that they will come
back before next season.

The Detroit News says that che worst

one seems to think of burning them.

Quarterly Meeting.

The third quarterly meeting of the
Cheboygan Methodist church occurs to-
morrow. Rev. A. p. MOors, the presid-

Three of the vessels that loaded timber
at this port for the European market
have passed Detroit all right. The Thos.
C. Street left that port Saturday night
and the Cambria and Thistle on Monday.

ChebOygan All Right.

The conference committee appointed to
harmonic the differences between the
two Houses of Congress, upon the sun
dry civil service bill, has reported, and
the report accepted by the Senate. This
settles the matter of appropriationsf fol
Cheboygan. The conference reduced the
amount of the bills as passed by the SEN
ate some five millions of dollars, but we
are glad to say that Cheboygan is one OF
the places that was not sknifed." This
gives Cheboygan $4,000 for harbor i'm
provements, and $4,000 for range lights,
$1,000 in all. A strong effort was made
to secure an increase of $1,000 on the har-
Dor improvement bill, but, of course, in
tthe temper the House was i'm, this was
simply impossible. When we look at
the number of places which were cut
off entirely, and the reductions made on
others when we see the appropriations
for the important lighthouses at Round
Island and Little Traverse stricken out,
Cheboygan should consider herself we'll
provided for under the circumstances.
Republican Senatorial Convention.
The Republican Senatorial convention
for the 3Oth State Sc q orial district has
been called to meet at Traverse City en-
Tuesday, August Sth. Cheboygan coun-
ty forms part of this district, and, under
the apportionment, one delegate to every
one thousand inhabitants is entitled to
three delegates.
1t is highly important that Cheboygan
send delegates to this convention. We
should take an interest i'm who is to rep
resent us in the next Legislature. We
want the best Dmen we naves nominated
and elected to those positions, and the
only way to secure them is to send dele
gates to the nominating conventions.
The three delegates from Cheboygan
should be able to WELD considerable i'll
fluence in the convention.
