The procession attracted some atten-
ton, as it came down Main street yester-
day. 1t consisted of two red-shirted men
on.either side of big Dutchman. The
red-shirted men had large clubs. The
Dutchman was prisoner. He had stol-
Ell an ak and a cant hook from one of
Thompson Smiths camps He neglected
the precautiOn of walking backwards and
so was easily tracked. The woodsmen
had no warrant, but they walked him off
to town just the same, and corraled him
i'm the postoflice until the sheriff could be
found and the proper papers made out,
when he was legally arrested, and he
now rests i'm Jail. He seemed happy over
the result, for he said he could now get
something to eat. He wasj large and
strong enough to earn his living, but
probably, was too lazy. He says he has
a wife living in town, and that she had
enough to eat. 1t may be taken fol
granted that it she has he did not eal n
it. 1t is to be hoped that be will be seni
where he will be compelled to earn hi:
living.

Next Friday, according to the call pub
lished in the TRIBUNE last week, the cit
izens of the county will meet at the court
house for the purpose OF taking the ini-
tiative steps towards forming an agricul-
tlral society. 1t is time that this county
had an agricultural society. 1t can be
made successful society if the residents
of the county so desire. 1t can be made
source of great benefit to this section
of the state if the people so determine.
On the other hand, it can be organized,
do no good. and after few years of mis-
erable existence die out, and leave The
county in worse position than if no or
ganization had'ever been effectsd. The
success or failure of this enterprise is i'll
the hands Of the people of this county.
1t is for them them TO determine what
the future shall be, and the meeting next
Friday afternoon will be the time when
this will be in great measure decided.
| Ii the citizens turn out anI show the in
terest they should, and which the i'm
pOrtance OF the enterprise dem lnds, and
resolve that it shall be Success. and
work for it. it win be. If they take up
with the enterprise as they have some
others, with ''don't careativeness it
| will be a failure. A few men who fully
realize the importance of the enterprise
cannot make it Il success if the people
generally take no interest in it. The
TRIBUNE will in the future, as it has i'm
the past, take an active interest IN the
success OF the project, for it fully real
ICES its Importance, but successful ag-
ricultural society must be supported by
farmers and those individually interested
in the material welfare of the county.
We hope, therefore, thai everybody will
turn out to the meeting and assist in its
organization. Let every township in the
county be represented.

What the New York SUN Knows
About IT.

The New York Sun of late date, has
the following, which is in keeping with
most of that constitutional grumbler's
assertions:
.'On the northern edge Of the straits of
Mackinaw, connecting Lakes Huron and
Michigan, is the pretty island of Macki.
nav. 1t is Il United States military post.
Ii commands nothing. 1t defends moth
inc. The territory north and south is
American. The channels of commerce
All around it are so wide and deep that
the p,flls of the fort cannot cover them
The island is lovely and is fashionable
summer watering place. The post build
inos are commodious and luxurious. AT
Fort Mackinaw are stationed two COM
panies of the Twenty-seCOnd infantry
ana ten commissioned officers. These
men should have been in Idaho or Da-
kota fighting Nez Perces or Sioux IN
dians. At Mackinaw they were no more
nse than they would be in Il national
Sunday school convention. Why are
they kept? The real reason is because
Mackinaw is a charming place for army
officers to live in. The nominal reasons
are that our frontier must be defended
aud that there is a large amount OF pub
lie property at the post which must be
guarded against waste and loss. These
are transparelitly childish fibs; but gray
haired men annually swear to them.

BLOWN TO ATOMS.
Terrible Explosion Of Nitro
Glycerine at Negaunee.
Seven Men Killed and Others injured.

A terribly fatal accident occurred
abaut three -fourths of a mile from Ne
gaunee on the I'd inst, by which seven
men lost their lives and several others
were slightly injured. The Lake Shore
Nitro Glycerine company were prepar-
ing carload of nitro glycerine for ship
ment by railroad to the Republic
mine, and while this was being loaded
by some means wholly unknown, the en-
tire lot of 4,S00 pounds exploded with a
terrific crash, demolishing the car, engine
and everything within a radius OF 5CC
feet. The conclusion shattered the glass
of nearly all the stores in Negaunee, and
all dwelling houses were left without q
single window light unbroken.
The names of the unfortunates who
lost their lives are viii Meyers
Esq, Vim. Spellman. fireman; Chas
Miller and Jerry Foley, brakemen; Irs
Hinckley, Senaca A. Wheeler and Wal
ter Wheeler, employees of the glycerint
company. The last three named were
blown to atoms and their remains wer,
scattered in all directions and wer,
pcied up in small pieces, the larges
pi' C, found not weighing more than
pound and half. What was found o
them were placed in ore coffin an(
Il
buried together. as there was nothing by
which either could be recognized o.
Identified. All the parties except Mey
ers and Spellman had relatives there
who took the remains in charge, whil
the bodies of the two named were sen
to Escanaba for burial. Great excite
ment prevailed, and business was at
standstill. Great sorrow was manifesto,
in all quarters, as all the parties wer
widely known and universally respected
The loss on property has not been esti
mated, but is large.
