VennOr's predictions: "Feb. II and 10,

We would not be surprised If the howl
ing gale of this morning would break up
and pile the ice in the straits and cause
more trouble for the Algomah.
The Owl Club meets at the residence
OF H.J. Miner, next Tuesday evening,

In the study Of literature are cordially

| Ex-Sheriff Mute has commenced the
work of putting up the main building
to his residence. When completed he
will have large and convenient home,
one of the best in the village.
They struck rock Wednesday in the
artesian well, at the water works, at a
depth of 175 feet, and have drilled about
| ten feet in the rock. It stands up well
80 far, and the drill cuts it quite fast, so
that from this on they expect to go right
along with the work.
Alpena people do not think the Mich
igan Central intends building branch
from Beaver lake to their town the COM
ing summer. and express the opinion
that the present survey Is only to scare
the +. P. & M. and prevent that company
from extending their road up the shore.
The social given by the:Aftermath So
ciety at the residence of Mrs. j. E. Mich
OILS last evening was well attended, not
withstanding the disagreeable weather.
The house was we'll adapted to such a
gathering, the rooms being large and
connected by sliding doors. The receipts
for the evening were over twelve dollars.
William E. Dodge. of the firm of
Phelps, Dodge & Co. New York, died Fri
day of last week and was buried last
Monday. This firm is largely interested
in real estate in this county, and Che
bOygan has been sited by the deceased
in the past. He was one of the most
charitable men in the world, and it Is
stated that his benefactiOns averaged ST.
600 dav the year round. The Sunday
School of the Congregational Church of
this village was the recipient of large
number of bibles and singing books from
Mr.. Dodge after one of his visits to our
town.
Mr.. j. E. Nichols started down from
his camp yesterday morning, and after
he started across the lake the heavy fog
settled down 80 that nothing could be
seen. and the first thing he knew, after
driving for a couple of hours, he found
himself at his banking ground, where
he had entered on the ice to cross An
other start was made, and after drying
for some time, the horse appearing fag-
ged from the hard going, he sent him
back to camp with the driver and came
on across on foot, and managed to reach
the station in time to catch the up train.
Thursday, shortly after noon, man
who had imbibed too much tangle foot
lost his equilibrium and rolled around
in snow bank in his earnest endeayor
to regain his feet, but not sufficiently to
restore him t. SOberness. He started
across from the bank building, appar-
emily trying to tie his legs into a double
bew knot, and when he reached the east
side of the street came near going
through the show window at Mrs. Sum
mer's. Under Sheriff Lynn picked him
ND lust then and escorted him to the
county cooler, where he was afforded
ample opportunity to sober up.
We understand that Joseph Spooner
has about concluded to build his new
building three stories high. The build
ing is to be 26 feet front on Main street, !
and 70 feet deep. The third story would
add much to the appearance of the
building, and we understand the Odd
Fellows would be glad TO arrange with
Mr.. SpoOner for the third story for a
hall. and we have TO doubt he could
lease il to the order for term of years
at a rate that would paya good percent
age on the additional cost. The brick
for the new building are being delivered.
They come from Carleton Brothers
yard.
A. r. Thayer is going to run saw
mill in connection with his excelsior
works, to prepare the timber for the cut
ting machines. He has the foundation
in. the mill in position, and this week
has been saving lumber to put up
building. He expects to start up his
lathes next week, but will not commence
the manufacture of 2 excelsior, until |
about the opening of navigation. He
has secured a fine lot of timber, and ex-
poets when he does start up, to manu-
facture large quantities. He already
has received numerous inquiries In re-
gard to the product of his mill, which |
would indicate ready market for all he
can make. ..,.. ...,.t 49, la Il
