the morning papers Of Detroit quite an
advantage over the evening papers in
furnishing news to their Cheboygan pa
irons.

We are glad to learn that Miss Lille

The pupils and parents complain OF a
discrepancy of Is or 20 minutes between
the time as designated by the Town Hall

A. r. Thayer has received notice that
patent has been allowed on the wood
en- cork he invented some time since, a
description of which was given in the
TRIBUNE at the time the patent was ap'
piled for. All who have seen the cork
thinks it little ahead of anything in
that line and that it will prove a boz
nanza to the inventor. We hope their
expectations may be realized.
The members of the Base Ball club
are using every effort to make their
grand masquerade ball Thanksgiving
night the great event of the season. The
ind ications are that there will be large
turnout of persons in costume. We hear
rumors Of some very grotesque and
amusing as well as of a number of ele-
giant costumes that will be present.
Good music by Prof. Barnhardt's Orches-
ira. Lots of fun may be anticipated. If
you don't want to dance you can see it
all for Is cents.
Stephen A. Dorsey, ex-senator, ex-star
reuter- and ex-partnsr Of Steve Elkins,
says that Cleveland is going to surprise
the Democrats, and the south especially.
He'll be Republican President, as he
has been Governor. Cleveland is po-
litical eunuch. Dan Manning will be
his principal adviser. but he will not
have around him any such positive Dem
ocrats as John Kelly, who is one Of the
most honest, straightforward men In the
Democratic party, or any other straight
out party man. Cleveland will 6ll his
cabinet with non-committal half.breed
politicians. Schurz will not 60 into the
cabinet, but will get some important Of
flee. George William Curtis wants to be
Minister to England, and he will 60
there"
The Chicago Inter Ocean of Monday
says everything points to premature
close of the navigation season. Freights
have dropped of gradually during the
present month, and the few craft in
commission find 1t hard work to get any
thing to do. Nearly all the vessels due
in Chicago will lay up as soon as they
are unloaded, and among them will be
many steambargss. A good many of the
steam craft have laid up at east shore
ports already, and the boats running
now are only working off old contracts

has closed down all its elevators, with
the exception Of one, and the forwarding
craft are being laid up as fast as they
can be unloadsd.
