gravel road from this city to Long
Lake during the past few weeks, and
in short time will have a first-class
buggy road made. The work is done
at their own expense and they deserve
the thanks of the community for
their patriotism and public spirit. F.
w. Gilchrist, f. o. Avery, the Mason
Lumber Co., and Fletcher, Pack d
Co. each donated a team and the SER
vices of man, beside which some
nineteen men are employed on the

Petoskey, the 13-year.old Indian
boy, gave the finest exhibition Of
roller skating ever witnessed in AL
pena, at the roller rink last Saturday
evening. He first appeared in an
Indian buckskin suit and after.
wards in tights, well spangled with
silver. He performed many move
ments, some of which we're never ex-
hibited here before, and it seemed to
be no trouble for him to glide about
on the rollers. He was frequently
applauded. He skated forwards and
backwards, in various fashions, did
the spread eagle magnificently, did
movements ON the toe and rollers, cut
figures of various kinds, and in fact
appeared to be able to do everything
possible that could be done on skates.
The audience present was the largest
we have ever seen in the rink. The
room for spectators on the four sides
of the rink was packed; the two gal.
leries were full; extra seats were
placed on the floor, and many were
obliged to stand. When the citizens
were skating, previous to the exhibi.
ton, the sight was we'll worth seeing
and person could not help but Won
der how so many persons could skate
and yet be so few collisions. To sec
several hundred skaters winding in
and out, darting first one way and
then another; fast skaters shooting by
slower ones some skating gracefully
some unsteady on the rollers-a liv
ing ring of humanity whirling in a
circle and constantly changing it:
formations, was well worth visit t.
the rink.

WASHINGTON, May 23.-There are signs
OF a strongly organized movement soon to
be made to induce the president to appoint
new civil service commissioners. The
movement has been made by prominent
Western politicians, whose Democracy is Of
the most stalwart character. They say
that II one Democrat and two
Republican commissioners could prop
erly look after the interests of
DEMOCRATIC applicants under the civil SER
vice rules, then one Republican and two
Democratic commissioners can be trusted to
look after the interests of Republican appli-
cants The gentlemen who are interested
In this movement want an entirely new
board. The president has not yet been
regularly laid siege to, but a number
OF gentle intimations on the sub
Ject have been dropped. Under the law
the commissioners have no fixed
term and the president is expressly author
lzed to remove any of them, their sue
cessors to be confirmed by the senate.
Aside from the opinions or purposes of the
partisans, the personnel of the present civil
service comm issiOn it is not of that charac-
ter to command unqualified public
Endorsement. The president has not given
any expression on the subject so far. but
