NORTHERN TRIBUNE.
SATURDAY. JULY 22. 1882.

MaSOnS cOlnmeuceu laying DTlcK on
Post & VanArsdale's new block Thursday
morning.
CIV. Farr has been appointed ticket
agent for the d., M. & M. railroad here.
A good appointment.
Mackinaw City Is still booming.
Building lots are still in demand, and
dwellings are going up rapidly.
: Some stairs have been placed in Kesse-
ier's barber shop that the upper floors
might have front entrance.
Our band boys are talking of getting
suits. Can't the citizens help them in
some wayp AS good band as they
should be clothed.
Mr.. Fitzmaurice, who recently lectur-
ed here on temperance, has been labor
ing with good results at the $780," He
closed his work there last Sunday and is
now at Marquette.
Spring has passed by and half the
summer is gone and some people have
door yards that, on account of the filth
and nastiness in them, are a disgrace
to the community.
The Merry Makers closed their engage
ment here last Saturday evening, but
expect to return from the $500" this
way, and will probably play here next
Monday and Tuesday evenings.
Chas. R. Smith is putting in steam
heating apparatus in his dwelling. Mr..
Smith was the first to use coal stove in
ChebOygan, and now leads in the more
modern plan of heating with steam.
Trains on the Grand Rapids & Indi-
ana railroad now leave Mackinac City
going south at O'Clock i'm the morning
and 7:30 in the evening. They arrive up
from below at $40 a. M, and 9:3O p. m.
The Manistique Pioneer is out in an
editorial favOring the nomination of
Geo. Stars, of Coldwater, for state treas
urer OH the Republican ticket, stating
among other things that the present in
cumbent does not want the re-nomina-
tion.
The band boys are broaching the sub
ject somewhat of erecting stand in the
square opposite the Howell block and
giving band concerts once week. This
is frequently done in other towns, and
as our band is now considered No. 1, the
boys should not be at all backward.
A. P. Swineford, Of the Marquette Min
ing Journal, has his annual review Of
the mining interests of the upper penin-
sula in press, and 1T will be issued soon.
AS usual, it is replete with interesting
information, and the 81 atistics compiled
by him can be relied upon as being cor
rect.
Newton, Ellis & Co. commenced man
ufacturing extract last Monday, and
made their first shipment by rail yester-
day to Bay .-CHEBoYGAN TRIBUNE.
What kind Of extract, neighbor bay
City Call. We know it will nearly break
your heart, and dash your fond anticipa-
tiOns to the ground, but it was nothing
but extract of hemlOck. We don't ex-
tract corn juice here.
Several of the st. Ignace whisky deal
ers, in response to an invitation from
Uncle Sans hired minions, have paid
Marquette visit to attend United States
court there this week. 1t seems that for
some time there was suspicion of crook
edness connected with the traffic there,
and last week couple of government
detectives made an investigation. and
the result was as is stated above. A
large amount was seized by them on ac-
count of adulteratiOn, taking Is barrels
of whisky from one firm.
F.Milligan, general, and Chas. Sey-
mour, travelling freight and passenger
agents of the D., M. & M. railroad, are
making extraordinary efforts to win the
patronage of the travelling public; and if
courteous treatment counts toward sue
cess, they should succeed admirably.
Their road is equipped with the finest
cars in the country, and they now run
two passenger trains each way per day.
This is one of the most enterprising COM
panies of the state, and we predict for
them ultimately a grand success.
Two or three weeks ago, man, by the
name of 7. A. Schintzler representing
himself to be bishop of community
in the lake Superior region, called the
United Brethren Of Friends, paid our
town a visit, and solicited and obtained
