Watts s. Humphrey.

The interests of Watts s. Humphrey,
Republican candidate for Representative
i'm the State Legislature, are in common
with all the citizens of this county. Es-
pecially is this the case with the farming
interests. He has farming lands in every
township of the county, and his interests
are identical with all portions of the
county alike. All men are naturally
selfish. and will naturally look after mat
tiers i'm which :they are interested before
other things. Mr.. Humphrey is equally
interested in all matters pertaining to the
welfare and prosperity and growth Of this
county, and will. ii elected, look to the
interests of all alike. The farmers and
homesteaders can depend, if Mr.. Hum
phrey is elected, that all matters pertain
ing to their interest will be faithfully at
tended to. The citizens of the village
can depend upon representative faithful
and true to their interests if they elect
Mr.. Humphrey. Representative to the
Legislature is very important office rs
far as all legislation needed by the coun-
ty is concerned, and our citizens should
consider well the subject inf,ll its posi-
BILE bearings, and the claims of the two
candidates in the field asking their suff'ra-
ges. before deciding for which to cast
their ballot. We think the result of such
consideration would be i'm favor of Mr..

.spe..rve,, to he Re-elected.,,

This is what the Free Press says of
Sheriff Paquette, and why? because che
has made good and reliable officer"
Reliable is good. We suppose the reason
why he is reliable" is because he failed
to make his report to the Secretary of
State, and had to be threatened with
prosecution before he would do it. This
charge the Free Press, the Sheriff IS organ,
utterly fails to reply to or deny. 1t can
not do it, and so it virtually admits the
truth of the charge by keeping silent re-
garding it. We suppose he is ''rcliable"
because he made the taxpayers Of the
village pay $1,000 because the village
council chose to appoint Marshal with
out consulting his wishes in the matter.
We suppose he is "reliable" because he
failed to file his bonds last January as
provided by law, which neglect cost the
county twenty-five or more dollars. If
such administration of the Sheriff 8 office
constitute reliability" we prefer little
less of such, and so do the people as they
will show by their votes next Tuesday.

Success Assured.

For some time past the Local Commits
sioner, as we'll as those i'm immediate
charge of the work, has had considerable
misgivings regarding the success of Sc
curing channel into Crooked lake. For
the past month, the dredge has been at
work OH the projected improvements of
Crooked river, and the nature of the eX-
cayatiOns there, led to serious doubts about
the possibility of making cut through
Grass lake, where the material to be eX-
cavated seemed to be of much less ia
vOrable character. However, the dredge
arrived at the dangerous ground last
week, Friday, and several days. work
has had the effect of convincing all those
interested, that the work is likely to
prove perfect success. The material has
to be very carefully handled, but it forms
banks on either side Of the channel, which
have every appearance OF being perma-
nent. This will be highly gratifying to
all those who are interested i'm the sue
cess of this enterprise. The only thing,
now, that remains in the way of an early
opening of this route to the public the
coming year, is the Sturgeon river bar.
This, now, has increased to such an ex-
tent, that no boats can pass. We feel
confident that the Board of Control will
soon instruct the Local Commissioner to
make some arrangements, looking to-
wards improving the river permanently
at that point. !

with the Best Wishes of All.

On Wednesday evening last, in the
p: essence of few relatives of both parties,
gathered at the house of the bride, Miss
Lizzie f. Leavitt, of this village, and Mr..
VIM. Schults, of Chicago, responded
''yes" to the all important questions put
to them by Rev. r. NJ. Thompson, and
were pronounced husband and wife.
With the best wishes for long life Of
happiness from host of friends they
commence new era of their lives. Their
future home will be in Chicago, to which
place they will go by the first boat.
"Lizzie's" absence will leave vacancy i'm
society here which cannot be filled, but
in parting with her, it is not without the
hope that we shall receive many visits
from Mrs. Schults.

Collision ON the River.

Last Monday evening as the tug Min
ME Sutton was coming down the river
with two lighters in tow, the Bismark,
with lighter of wood in tow. attempted
to pass her, about opposite Nelson's mill.
At this point the river is quite narrow,
and in passing, the wood scow struck the
stern of the Sutton, with such force as to
lift her over into Nelson's boom, and to
do some serious damage to her rudder,
and some of the wood work and plank
ing. The Sutton was then taken in tow
by the Bismark and put in the lock
where the damages were so tar repaired
that she can run again. There is likely
to be some feeling arise, regarding who
was to blame for the accident. The dam
ages will. probably. aggregate forty or
fifty dollars.

The residents of the county hotel be-
came tired of their accommodations and
have departed hence. They left that hos
pitable roof last Thursday night, in the
midst of the storm. Where thew went is
as yet a mystery, but it is no mystery
how they got out. They had assistance
from the outside. An auger was passed
into them and they bored their way out
OF the cell by cutting the door in two
about the middle. This let them out in
to the corridor" of the Jail. The outside
door was locked by large iron lock on
the outside. This was broken by some
outside confederate and thus the prison.
ers secured their liberty. The prisoners es-
Gaping were, Harbold arrested for breaking
into VIM. Devine's saloon, and Mckenzie,
for stealing pocket book at the Bay. 1t
will be remembered that they attempted
to escape.sOm few weeks ago, but their
plans were discovered in time to prevent.
This is the third time Harbold has made
his escape from this Jail. 1t was doubt
less his friends who assisted in the escape,
for he has friends in town who are very
DESTROYS that his reputation should not
suffer at the hands of the press. 1t is not
long since the editor Of this paper re-
ceived threatening letter, for state.
ment appearing i'm the TRIBUNE regard
ing HarbOld. The prisoners are gone,
and whether they trouble this part of the
country again or not, remains to be seen,
but it is hoped not.

by Proxy.


Fred. II. Potter the Democratic candi-
date for Congress from this district, is
visiting Cheboygan by proxy. This
shows his deep interest in this place.
Geo. F. Lewis, editor of the Saginawian,
comes here to look after Mr.. Potter's in
terests. Mr.. Potter wants the Democrat
ic votes of this place, but he wants them
without becoming personally responsible
for anything which, if elected, would
prevent his working primarily for the in
uerests OF the Saginaw valley. 10 avoid
any unpleasant complications which
might hereafter arise, he sends Mr.. Lewis
up here instead of coming himself Mr..
Lewis is avery smooth talker, and will
doubtless present a very good excuse for
Mr.. POtter's lack of interest in this sec
ton of the state, but it will not do away
with the fact that in all the months since
his nomination he has not taken interest
enough in this place to make it visit.
No one, not even candidate for Con-
gress, can have correct idea Of this
place without visit. Mr.. Potter shows
that he has the regular Saginawian idea
of Cheboygan, by sending a proxy here
instead of coming himself. 1t is not Of
enough importance for him to visit. This
idea he will maintain through his Con-
gressional career, should he be elected.
But he does not stand shadow of a
chance of being elected. So it is all just
as9well: but the way he treats the place
shows what kind of man he is, and how
deserving he is of the votes of our peO-
