DROWNED.

On Saturday last, three sons of John
Johnson of this city were drowned in the
river. They had been out gathering
winter greens and were walking home on
the river. When at the bathing grounds,
Willie the Oldest broke through but chung
to the ice for some time. His two BROTH
ers, aged ten and eight, ran to his as
sistance but also broke through and sank
almost instantly. Willie still chung to
the ice. A man living near the river
bank brought plank and attempted to
rescue the boy from his perilous position,
but he was so benumbed by the cold that
he was unable to cling to the board and
he aeon loosed his hold and disappeared
under the water. A boy who was with
them hurried to the city and gave the
alarm. A number of people gathered at
the fatal spot and immediate search was
instituted for the bodies. That of Willie
was soon found and still later that of
Johnnie the second oldest. The young
est has his grave in the river. The double
funeral took place on Tuesday and the
general sympathy felt for the bereaved
family was shown by the number in at
tendance.
This particular part of the river has
been the scene of many deaths by drown
ing. Six persons have found a watery
grave there,-the three johnson boys,
Gillett, Kohl, and the railroad man car
ried away by the washout last summer.

CLEMENT BROTHERS.

The readers of the Port will bear testi-
mony that we are not inclined to gush;
that, while we do not mean to be lima
tured or over critical, we seldom find
much to recommend in the concert and
theatrical troupes that visit this locality
and region. We premise this, that we
may say with more weight good word
for the Clement CO. icer company, which
oceupied Royce's Hall on Friday night
last. Clement was favorite already,
which secured good house, and every
one Of the audience that packed the hall
from foot-lights to door was well pleased.
Miss Richards, the soprano, is better
singer than we have ever before heard in
Escanaba-needs only the culture to be
better than nine-teaths of the ssstars"
such as Litta, and the company gives her
a good support. -Escanaba Iron Port.

OSLO.

Good health and general prosperity
prevail III this vicinity.
The farmers are busy threshing clover
at present. The yield is not as good as
expected.
There is considerable competition be-
tween the different Threshingmen. each
claiming his machine to do the best
work. So far it seems that M. Larson &
Co. are the boss threshers since they give
the best satisfaction.
Mr.. s. o. Berge, celebrated thanks
giving by taking unto himself one of
Liberty's fairest and sweetest young la
dies, Miss Tolifson. We hope the young
couple will prosper and their blessings
be many.
MIR. Ole Stephenson was over in Liber-
ty visiting the schools. We don't know
though what attracts Ole the most, the
schools or the school ma'ams.
Mr.. Peterson, of Liberty, has four feed
mills put up on his farm and is ready to
fill all orders promptly. Mr.. Peterson
has shown a great deal OF enterprise and
should receive the patronage of the
neig hborhood.
Miss A. Burnet is teaching her third
term OF school in Dist. Ne. 3, town of
Liberty. Miss Burnet has gained the
confidence of the people of the district.
Stephen Olsen's mill is again in run
ming order. Mr.. Olsen shows a great
deal of energy in having now built up
that dam the fourth time in three years.

A GENTLE REMINDER.

Those of our readers who have NOT yet
solved to their satisfaction the question.
"What shall buy for Holiday presents
this year" are gently reminded that if
they desire to combine utility and econ
omy in their purchases, they can find
many articles among the elegant stock of
winter goods at Books store that will fill
the bill. For instance, your wife would
be delighted with handsome piece of
dress goods, cloak or dolman, pair of
fine shoes, or any one of the hundreds of
articles in that line that can be found at
this establishment. Or perhaps a new
parlor carpet, set of lace window cur.
tains or a handsome dinner or tea set
would be 'just what she wanted" At
any rate 1t would be well for you to go
there, examine the stock and note the
unusually low prices which Mr.. Book is
making to his customers during the holi-
day season. His stock of general mer-
chandise is one of the largest and most
complete in the city, his assistants are
polite and attentive, and we feel safe in
assuring you that Mr.. Book will be glad
to have you call and give him chance
to demonstrate to you that he can and
will offer some real bargains. Among
his goods can be found articles suitable
for Christmas gifts to old and young, the
enumeration of which would fill columns
Just drop in there some time between
now and Christmas and you will find that
Mr.. Book can put up desirable goods
against all the money you can bring, and
give you full value for it every time.
