The most successful journalistic
venture in the West for many years
is the Detroit Evening Journal. 1t
is now only four months old and has
a circulation of nearly 1900, with
an increase of from 100 to 500 every
week. It's special attention to Mich
igan matters has already made it a
favorite throughout the State, and
no Detroit paper covers the field more
fully. 1t is now an established insti-
tuition, and no daily in the West can
point to q like success in the same
space of time. No evening paper
publishes more complete telegraphic
news, and its market reports are in
dorsed by the Detroit Board of Trade
as the most reliable and satisfactory
arrangement of commercial news given
to Michigan readers.
Alpena weekly argus. [volume] (Alpena, Mich.) 1871-1893, 1884-02-06
The ARGUS contains four large
pages per week the Detroit Weekly
Free Press contains eight large pages
per week, and the Household four
pages per week, making sixteen pages
per week. This will amount in one
year to
Eight Hundred and Thirty-twO
Pages for Only S2.25.

A person who wishes his family to
keep posted on what is going on in
Alpena, in Michigan, and in the
world, can not invest the small sum
of 1925 to better advantage.
In these progressive times a man
is obliged to keep posted on what is
going on, and we offer him first
class chance, at very small expense,
of doing so. No man who has the
welfare Of his family at heart can re-
fuse to invest such small sum for
their advantage.
The FREQ Press is one Of the best
weekly newspapers in the United
States. 1t has circulation in Eng
land of over 10000 copies.

At daybreak, Sunday, four corpses lay
stretched on tho floor Of the bar room Of
the only hotel in Savannah, station on
the New York, West Shore Il Buffalo
railroad, about 80 miles west Of Syracuse,
n. Y, while mothers, sisters and sweet
hearts were caring for nine men who were
lying in all parts Of tho hotel, suffering
from injuries received in one Of the worst
railroad accidents that has occurred In the
section in years. Following 80 closely
after that at Brighton, near Rochester, on
Thursday night, aud with such fatal
results, the casualty Is the moro horrible.
The Rochester express left the city at
$40 y. IN, 1t consisted Of an express,
baggage, one smoking and three passenger
| cars, with orders TO run to savannah,
whom it was to take n side track to let the
second section of tho Atlantic express
pass. The engine aud express car had
passed in safety on to the siding, when the
| express came laundering around q curve
| at tho rate of IS miles an hour. The
engine plunged into the baggage aud
smoking cars, tearing the sides aud the
entire north row Of seats out and smashing
one end of passenger car. The two cars
were torn to atoms.

Acton, of Clyde, and Nicholas Eagles, OF
Rochester.
The wreck was easily cleared, as there
was but little of the debris left on the
| tracks. No one was injured on the east
bound train. The railroad officials are
very rotlcent and seem not to have placed
the responsibility of the accident. a new
engineer was rue ming the express train, but
had pilot with him. The pilot is under
stood to have warned the engineer to slow
up, whlo the man at the throttle denies
that anything of the kind was said. The
damage TO rolling stock will be about

Early Saturday afternoon a twelve year
old sou OF Samuel Dietz, carpenter, OF
StIasburg, went into Musseman's dam, on
the Pequea creek, near that borough, to
bathe, and getting beyond his depth, was
drowned. Search was made for his body,

water was too cold, and Dietz was attacked
with cramp. His companions saw him go
down and como to the surface three times,
but were unable 20 render him assis-
tance.
