A meeting of the Board of Supervisors
Of Emmett county was held on the 18th
for the purpose of considering the pro-
priety of petitioning the Legislature in be-
half of the destitute homesteaders
In no place in the southern portion of
the state has the weather been more
pleasant than it has been here. We have
experienced no colder weather than they,
and as far as we are able to learn, no
more of it.
One-half the expense for the bill for
engineering the inland navigation i'm
provement was presented the Board of
Supervisors of Emmett county at their
last meeting. The report of the pro-
ceedings of the Board showed that it was
laid OH the table, which means, we sup
pose, that they don't propose to pay any
portion of the expense of that improve
ment, Well, the time may come when
they will wish they had.
The examination of Cash Williams up.
on a charge Of seduction took place be-
tore Justice Sutton yesterday. The usu-
al attendance of grey-haired men and
beardless boys were present. After hear
ing all the witnesses the prosecuting at
torney concluded that the evidence was
considerably too thin, and the justice
cOncurrin@, the prosecution was dismiss
ed. Williams was then arrested upon
charge of basrardy, the examination up
on which charge will take place next

The regular monthly meeting of the
fire company was held last night, and
was quite well attended. A committee.
consisting of Geo. Paquette, c. Gala
CHER and Jos. Allaire, was appointed to
arrange for dance for the benefit of.the
company, to take place prior to the 14th of
February. The matter of uniforms was
discussed considerably. and finally a
committee, consisting of Alex Mcdonald,
III. j. Miner and w. F. DePuy, was ar
pointed to wait upon the council, and
make application for uniforms. The

Wednesday afternoon.
During the early part of the winter it
was ascertained that it was with the
greatest difficulty that the Congregation
I'll church could be warmed with the fur
mace. The trustees therefore male some
changes ard improvements. Lest Sunday
evening they ascertained beyond per-
adventure of dOEbt that the changes
made would have the desired effect. In
tact. they were 1carnly convinced of it. |
They will probably now go to work and
sec if something cannot be done 10 keep |
the room cool. For the comfort Of the
church goers it is hoped they will here
after secure the happy medium.
Some action should be taken ut once TO !
secure good bridge across Indian river
near Burt lake. The petition for a town
ship organization, comprising territory
in the southwest corner of the county. |
which has been introduced in the Leois- |
lature, shows that the county is rapidly
settling up. West of Burt lake is also
another settlement which should come
here to trade, and would if there WAS
a bridge. This rapidly settling
portion Of the county should be easily
TO Cheboygan. A bridge across
he river at this point would be great
to sett' emcnt in that section.
Bnrt township can well afford to build
his bridge. and she should do it at once.
Whether Theodore Gale. he of the non
explosive kerosene powder. accumulated
much wealth in this village or not we
10 not know, but the accumulation of
wealth only depended upon his sales, for
alt. the principal ingredient. costs less
han two dollars barrel, while the COL
,ring matter, American verEllion. costs
bout twenty five or thirty cents a
pound, which, put up in small boxes
md sold AT fly cents each, gives some
where in the ncigbborhood of forty-nine
ents net profit. As to its efficacy for
he purpose recommended, any one can
ell by testing, but We believe Dr. Gerow
proved to the said Gale, much to his sur
rise, of course, that water would break
used oyer this preparation if
pplied when the chimney was hot.
