a Mares Nest.

Last Thursday Representative Hamp-

from 40 citizens OF Mackinae and Chip
pswa counties asking for the passage Of
bill detaching certain portions of ter
ritory from the county of Mackinac and
attaching the same to Chippewa. BY
some inadvertence the reporters for the

stead of Chippewa.

That New County.

Last week we stated that We had 1t

they propose dstaching FIVE townships,
the entirs western tier of that county,
two of these to be added to Cheboygan

county. This would make the proposed
county to consist Of fifteen townships

three townships wide. Indian River is
named as the county seat. to be. 1t is q
very neat scheme, and on paper, or in
the minds eye, makes very Symmetrical

the projectors will be sufficient to
carry the matter successfully through
or not remains to be seen. That the at

Narrow Escape From Drowning.

Last Thursday afternoon Willie st.
Peter, stepson Of Capt. E. A. Bouchard,
had very narrow escape from drown
ing. He and his cousin, Willie Divine,
were tryiyg to capture duck that had
been wounded, and were chasing it on
the ice in the river. The ice gave way
under young st. Peters, just below Elm
street. and the swift current carried
him rapidly down stream. He was I'M
able to swim, but had presence Of mind
to hold his breath when no would sink
and inhale whenever he would come to
the surface. Young Divine followed on
on The bank Of the stream, and every
time he rose to the surface would cheer
him mp calling to him don't give up"
keep up your courage" stick to it,
Willie" &C., Sc. The current carried
him down until opposite Division street,
when young Diyine succeeded, by lying
down on the ice, in reaching him and
catching him just as he evidently had
come up for the last time, and holding
him until others came to the rescue.
Willie said he retained full conscious
ness until just before he was rescued,
and was determined to make as brave a
fight for life as possible. but had about
made UP his mind that he would drown.
lie says he thought Of his mother and
how bad she would feel, and this neryed
him to greater effert. The last time he
went down, he said, his legs seemed to
double up under him and refuse to
straighten out, but he made strenu ous
effort to give one more kick. and this
brought him to the surface just at the
time his cousin succeeded in getting
hold of him.
When rescued he was in a semi-con-
scious condition, only realizing portion
of what was being done. He says that
when held up by the heels to let the
water run cut Of him he thought he
would choke. He was carried into the
Fountain House and put in bed, and Mr..
and Mrs. Fitzpatrick did everything that
could be done. Alexander MePheo, of
Wolverine, showed his big heartedness
by earnest effort, and Mr.. and Mrs. Boush-
ard have requested US to express their
heartfelt thanks to the above named and
others for their efforts in behalf of their
boy. DR.. T. A. Perrin was called and did

House he was wrapped In blankets. and
Mr.. and Mrs. Fitzpatrick provided warm
irons to place around him to cause him
to perspile and start circulation of'the
blood. lie was removed to his home as
soon as sufficiently recovered, but has not
yet fully recovered from his "dueking"
scrape.

Homecoming ImperiIed by Fire.
REPORTER.

CUMBERLAND, Md, March o.
Six business houses situated in the
center of Homecoming. this county,
were destroyed y tire this morning,
causing a damage of about $4,000.
The fire was discovered about 4
O'Clock in the boot and shoe store of
w, E. Hartman. The Homecoming
Fire Department was brought out
and the men of the town began at
once to fight the flames. The fire
spread rapidly despite the efforts
made to suppress it. and in short
time the roof of the residence of Hen
ry II. Williams was burning. Next,
the frame building occupied by Otto
'HOhing as a saloon and residence
caught, and it was feared that the en-
tire business portion of the town
would go. At this crisis all the able
bodied men were called out and the
burning buildings were left to the
mercy of the flames, while the men
turned their attention to saving adj
joining and more valuable property.
Directly the scene of the conhagra-
ton stands the dry goods and groce-
ry store of Peter PEBBLES. which is al.
so used by him as a dwelling. This
is one of the largest buildings in the
town, and the tiremen did their ut
most to prevent it from igniting, but
to no effect. When it was least ex-
pected sparks set fire to the slantipg
roof, and the shingles being dry the
blaze spread rapidly. Mr., PEBBLES
and his family, anticipating this cal
amity, had gone to a neighbours
house, where they witnessed the de-
struction of their home. 1t was seen
that all efforts to save the burning
buildings were useless, but the men
managed to confine the flames with
in the bounds marked by the PEBBLES
house. Sparks occasionally set fire
to surrounding property, but they
were extinguished before much dam.
age was caused. About two hours
after the fire was discovered there
stood but piles of smouldering ruins

About Advertising,

Poster advertising, rock and fence
painting. and flooding the mails with
circulars and postal cards are some of
the foams of advertising which dis
gust more people than they attract,
and even when effective, are very
wasteful mode of reaching the pub
lie.
In the selection of a proper medi-
UNI many points of value might be
taken into consideration by adyer-
tisers. Newspapers which are not
respected and faithfully read are not
good mediums for advertisers. News
papers that are purchased to while
away half an hour on street car or ell
evated railway, and are not carried
home do not sell anybody's wares.
Such papers are no better than circu-
lars and almost as wasteful.
The experience of enrerprising and
sagacious business men demonstrates
that the best results attend adyertis-
ing in home nswspapers--thosew which
go into families and are read by one
after another in the home circle.-N
