In 1851 he was appointed detective, the
first Chicago ever had, by Mayor Cur
ney. In 1853 he organized his detec-
tive agency, which has been in operation
ever since, and is now famous the world
over. He. was called upon by .Presi-
dent Lincoln to organize the secret SER
vice of the United States for the Army
and Treasury departments. He re-
manned in charge Of the government de-
tectives at Washington and with the
Army of the Potomac, under the Secre-
tary of War and Generals Burnside,
Mcclellan, and Hooker. At his own re.
quest, in 1868, he was transferred to the
Military Division Of the Southwest under
Major General Candy, and remained
there till the close Of the war, with
headquarters at New Orleans. In the
meantime his Chicago agency had been
run by Edward Bucker, and, when the
chief returned, the agency was imme-
diately reorganized. In 1865 he started
an office in New York, of which Robert
A. Pinkerton is now superintendent and
in 1866 he opened another in Phila-
delphia, OF which Robert J. Linden is
the present superintendent. There are
$50 employees in the different agencies,
all drawing salaries, and none Of them
are permitted to receieve rewards or
gratitudes of any kind. The Chicago
office is the headquarters, and there
Allen himself, with his 50 years, can
daily be found, being on hand early in
the morning, and always attentive to
his duties.

Dwelling Burned.

Wednesday morning, shortly after six
o'clock house belonging to Macarthur,
Smith & Co., on the east side of the river
near their mill, occupied by one of their
employees named MalOney, and family,
was discovered on fire and burning fierce
ly, when first discovered the wing being
all in blaze. Those first on the ground
could see no signs of any of the family
being astir and Thomas MCGUIRE kicked
in the front door and aroused them. The
fire had got such start that they were
only able to save portion of the con-
tents down stairs. The furniture sc. up
stairs all falling victim to the devOuring
flames. The morning was intensely cold
so that little could be done in the way of
getting water to quench the flames and
all efforts was turned to saving what
furniture could be got out. The fire is
supposed to have originated from a pan
of ashes which had been removed from
the stove the day before and placed in
the shed adjoining the building. There
cannot be too much care taken in dis
posing of hot ashes. Last week there
came near being a fire in thickly set
tied part of the village from the same

Mr.. Green, proprietor of the Cadillac
water works, arrived in our village last
Tuesday evening, and devoted Wednes-
day, with the committee of the village
council on water works, to investigating
the situation here and making estimate
as to the cost of the proposed works for
this place. He, with the committee,
went over the whole ground and made
what is conceded to be an estimate cOv-
ering an ample supply for the present
wants of the village. His estimate in
cludes 1859 feet of pipe, something
over 3 miles, the mains to be IL
inch pipe, and graduated from that
down to A inch. % double hydrants, en-
gine house, engine. pumps, shafting, all
the machinery necessary to put the
works i'm complete running order, and
all cost for excavating and putting
pipes and hydrants in position. The
whole cost, as estimated, being $25, 1904.
The committee are satisfied that Mr..
Green, in his estimate put everything at
the outside figure, and feel confident
that the works can be put in for less
money. Admitting they would cost all
of MIR. Green's estimate, we are of the
opinion that it is the cheapest fire pro-
lection that can be provided, and that
the saving in the matter of insurance
alone will far more than pay the inter
terest upon the investment and the
running expenses, to say nothing about
the revenue to be derived from the use
of water for domestic purposes.

How COnger got Zach Chambers Seat
The Washington Evening Star pub
fishes the following, showing how Sena
tor-elect COnger secured Zach Chandler
old seat in the Senate:
Before SenatOr-elect COnger left fol
Michigan, pending the Senatorial can
vass in that state, he dropped in on Mr.
Isaac Bassett, of the Senate, and request
ed that, i'm case he advised him by tele-
graph that he had received the caucus
nomination, he desired to have the seat
formerly occupied by Senator Chandler
reserved for him. 1t was not long after
Mr.. COnger was nominated before the
telegraph advised Mr.. Bassett of the fact
and, accordingly, Mr.. COnger's name
was put down for the seat. 1t had hard
ly been reserved, however, before Sena-
tor COnkling said:
"Mr. Bassett, want you to reserve ex-
Senator Chandler's seat for MIR. Platt
who has been nominated by the New
York Legislature for the Senate"
"The seats reserved" said MIR. Bas-
sett. ~ l-Isa
"Who's got it?" said Mr.. COnkling.
"Mr. COnger, of Michigan" was the re-
ply.
s'By what authority do you reserve a
seat for Mr.. COnger?" said MIR. COnk-
ling.
"This is the authority" said Mr.. Bas'
set, at the same time handing the New
York Senator the dispatch announcing
COnger's election, coupled with the re-
nunSt for the seat.
This satisfied the New York Senator
and he walked off.
The conversation between Mr.. Bassett
and Mr.. COnkling had hardly ceased
when Mr.. Hawley, of Connecticut, out of
breath, told Mr.. Bassett he had just been
notified of his Senatorial election and
he wanted ex-senator Chambers seat.
"It's gOne," said Mr.. Bassett, and an
explanation followed.
When Mr.. COnger returned from Mich
igan, General Hawley said to him:
''HOw is it that you, away out in Mich
igan, can get a good seat in the Senate,
while |, being on the ground was left?''
"Well, General" said MIR. COnger,
'when you are candidate for the Sen
ate again, instead of having your friends
telegraph yourself of your election, have
them telegraph at once to Isaac Bassett
and you will save time and get good
seat"

The Advantages Of NOrthernIMfchfga
for Settlers.

WESTERN NEW YORK, December 20.-As my
self and quite a number of my neighbOrs are
expecting to look through Michigan in the
spring for homes, would like to gather all the
information concerning the inducements and
advantages offered actual seettlers by your
state. First what part of the state Tin your
opinion) offers the greatest advantages, all
| things considered, for parties OF small or mod
crate means? Give me address OF railroad
companies, real estate agents and private par
ties who have land wild or partially lmproved)
for sale? also address of your land office? Can
| a soldiers homestead be located In Mlchlgan9
The northern part of the lower penin-
sula and the eastern part of the upper
peninsula hold out decided attractions
| for settlers. You can get tracts OF eX-
cellent land for agricultural purposes,
we'll located and within easy reach OF
railroads, good timber and good soil, for
$4 per acre, if enough club together to
make little colony and take up quite
tract, say from 1000 to 1900 acres. These
lands will be found in ChebOygan, Char
levOix, Chippewa and Antrim counties.
These counties are already rapidly I'LL
ing, and roads and schools and mills are
fairly started. HOmesteads are also to
be had for the locating and occupying,
but the government lands are further
| away from the improvements very nat
urally. 1t will only be short time,
however, before this whole region VII!
be within quite reasonable distance OF
| the two great railroads that traverse the
lower peninsula from north to south on
its eastern and western sides, and OF tne
new Marquette and Mackinac road In the
upper peninsula. The land offices for
this region are at Reed City, Marquette
and East Saginaw. The railroad COM
panieS have their Offices, one at Lansing.
O. nj. Barnes, agent, and another at
Grand Rapids, w. O. Hughart, superln-
tendent, and another at Detroit, w. U.
Strong agent. For agents with extern
sive tracts of land in this region Tor sale
we can mention the names of ID. j. Evans
and Geo. S. Frost & Co., Detroit. You
can scarcely fail to do well. There is
not state in the west that offers superb
or advantages to Michigan, hardly one
that offers as good Detroit Post and
Tribune.
There is no place in the west that Of
fers better inducements to settlers than
ChebOygan county. While there is not
much land to be hOmesteaded, there is
large quantity of the very best farming
land to Ee had at low figures, and upon
the most favorable terms. Farms can
be secured within easy access of Cheboy-
gan where market can be found fol
wood and the timber be made to pay fol
the clearing, and meet the payments up
on the land as they become due. An
ever ready market is here for all kinds
of products, where they can be disposed
of at the very highest prices, better than
can be obtained in older settled places
from the fact that all that can be raised
is needed for home consumption, the de-
mand being largely in excess of the sup,
ply at present, and will be for years to
come.
