{" You Are Evidently Looking for Santa
Claus, andlI Am the Man!'

This is what Mr.. w. r. Penn, of the
old and historic firm of G. L. Penn &
Son, now says to the great public of
Edgefeld. "But," says the public, 81
don't understand. Santa Claus I always
thought was a hoary. headed old buffer,
while you are handsome and stylish
young man." $50 much the BETTER"
says our young friend Penn, "and thank
you for the compliment, but neverthe
less am Santa Claus all the same; and
if you will just step into my new store,
which my friends say is beautiful one,
will quickly prove it to you" And so
saying, Santa Will Penn Claus leads
large party of ladies' and gentlemen into
his radiant new quarters, and, doffing
his shiny silk hat and drawing off epair
of delicately tinted olive green kids,
says, "Now, ladies and gentlemen, am
ready, mostly for Lore too, to show and
shower upon you all the treasures of New
York and Baltimore-pictures, works of
art in every imaginable variety, dolls,
fireworks, clocks, lamps, jewelry, oHets
de vertas, all OF the newest styles, and in
patterns never before seen in Edgefeld.
And of Groceries and Confectioneries, no
Z end, no end And every fruit and deli
cacy and luxury that belongs to this
blessed season. But bark What is that
excitementin front OF my door! All! it
is Miss Sallie Lewis and Mr.. Bacon in

ing them, in their original manner, of
the beauties of my new Christmas stock.
That's good! Listen Miss Sallie Lewis
says: go to Augusta ?" Go to Augusta
to buy christmas things? Why no body
but raving loon would think of such a
thing! There is nothing in Augusta to
compare to PENIS; nothing! nothing!!
nothing y! And Mr.. Bacon says: "Look
here friends, Edgefeld may be poor and
bloody, and burnt-up. but there is no
doubt that for this season she has got |
clean ahead of all the South on Christ |
mas goods. Go in, go in, and look, and |
even if you have no money it will be
equal to the circus to you" "True, true"
exclaims Mr.. Penn, "Miss Sallie Lewis |
and Mr.. Bacon are good friends of mine,
and what is more, they are people Of |
taste. But, ladies and gentlemen, see
throngs of other ladies and gentlemen,
with numerous pretty little children,
entering my door. Therefore you must

Republican 10 reported as having been
la Chesoygan a short time since for q
part Of day. 1t Is also rumored that
while here he met some n0vices at the
game of billiards and got away with
them and that he returned home with
the idea that he was billiard player
and did considerable blowing about how
he beat the best players Of Cheboygan,
no one here being able to afford him
common amusement. Last week one of
our business men went over to the long
drawn out city on business. The said
business man in former days used to
handle cue ia pretty good shape, but
of late had played but little, and was all
out Of practice. Friend Bissell hearing
the said man could play billiards lit
tie thought he had struck another Che
boygan NOVICE and consequently soft
snap" tackled him for game and after
considerable persuasion succeeded in ar.
ranging for three ball game. Three
games were played the result scoring

The Cheboygan Lumber Company has
about concluded the purchase of 80,O0O,'
600 feet or more of standing pine timber
In tae Georgian Bay region. 1t is the
intention to cut the timber and bring il
to their mill at Chsboygan to be manu-.
featured. Charles H. Mute. and John
E. Clark returned home last week from
an examination of the timber, and re.
port it of excellent quality.
A petition is being circulated to pre-
seat to the village council for the extern
sion of the water mains to the east side
Of the river. and is receiving q large
number of signatures from citizens on
the west side az we'll az those residing
on the east. 1t Is a matter of justice to
property owners on that side who have
been taxed to put the works in and are
being taxed to sustain them. Good siz-
ed mains should be put in on the Dun
can Bay road as far down as the turn in
the road and then branch running
each side Of that road. This would af-
ford protection to the most rhicky set
tied portion Of the east side, and give
that side equally as good fire protection

the Decision OF she Courts.


NEW YORK, June 24-fhe 2airymen
Of the State are not satisfied with the re-
cent decision of the Court Of Appeals in
the test oleomarglrine case. They state
that the case (the people as. Marx was
not test case at all, but a bogus suit
gotten up by the o,eomargarine manu-
lecturers against one OF their own num-
Der and pushed on the Court OF Appeals
upon a pretended statement Of facts
which did not exist IL the case at all, and
with no evidence offered on the part of
the people to counterfeit it. 1t was en-
unfair, distorted statement, giving only
one side of the case, ana was brought on
by the New York assistant district attOT-
ney at time when the dairy commits
siOner was not able to be present. 1t
was trayesty upon justice and should
never have been allowed to go to the
Court Of Appeals as n any way test Of
the validity Of the proyisioBs e the law
The decision of the Court Of Appeals
however honestly arrived at, has done
immense injury to the dairy interests Of
our State, and even In the one sided cases
presented for their consideration, their
decision is IN conflict with that OF the
Circuit Court Of the United States and
also of the highest courts Of other States.
They propose to Immediately bring other

them they will appeal to the United States

the duty Of the chief Of the Bureau OF
Statistics of the Treasury Department to
gather, collate and annually report to the
Secretary of the Treasury statistics and
facts relating to commerce with foreign
nations and among the several States.
Previous reports from this bureau have
presented much of this information in
regard to the States Of the Pacific slope
and States west of the Mississippi and
Ohio rivers and no;th of the Potomac.
Therefore, Col. Sniitzler, the present
chief Of the bureau has determined to
devote bis first report an internal COM

set in motion under the act of Congress
the machinery for the purpose of collect

ead that is the acting and directive power
Of the kingdom. Whenever monarch and
aristocracy is on one side, and the repub-
lican portion of the system, which is the
popular or democratic rule, on the other,
monarchy and aristocraey have to give
way and democracy yields the power.
Year by year the democratic element Of
the English government stands out more
prominently, and the monarchieal and
aristocratie features lose power and inhu-
euce. The end will be, that when some
person hateful to the people occupies the
throne he will be dethroned and the re-
public that now exists in fact viii exist
in name also. In all this lie the princi-

ine Cheyenne 0utbrenk.

WASHINGTON, June 24.-The out
break OF the Cheyenne Indians which
was threatened Saturday last has been
brewing for year or longer. Army Off
Gals here attribute it to a dissatisfaction
on the part of the Indians at the leasing
of their reservation to cattlemen. The
Cheyenne Reservation is one of the largest
in the Indian Territory. 1t comprises
about 4, 279,000 acres. OF this amount
more than 100000 acres are controlled
by cattlemen who are grazing vast herks.
The Indians are divided on the question
Of leasing the lands, the majority appar-
emily being opposed to it. tits said here
by officials that cattlemen have resorted
to questionable methods in securing con-
troll of ranches. Reports on file at the
Office of the Commissioner of Indian AT
fairs indicate that the leasing Of lands
was the original cause of the trouble
among the Indians. These reports are
from Agent Dyer, on the Cheyenne
Reservation, who ranks as one OF the best
agents in the Indian service. He was
appointed to his present position about
one year ago. Immediately after assum-
ing his duties he informed the Interior
Department that trouble was threat
ened, and that unless precaution-
airy measures were taken, an outbreak
would be inevitable. He asked that 1000
cavalrymen be sent to the reservation.
As reason for his statement Agent
Dyer said that his predecessor had not
exercised strict control over the Indians
that they had been allowed to do as they
wished. Mr.. Dyer on assuming the
duties of the agency endeavored to CON
troll the Indians, He reported to the
Commissioner Of Indian Affairs that
they laughed at his attempts and boosted
that the government could do nothing
with them. Agent Dyer was in Wash
i1gton some weeks since. He urged that
1900 cavalrymen be sent to the reserva-
ton as soon as possible ito scare the In
dams and show them that the govern
ment had a sufficient force to punish
them if necessary He thought if this
method of influencing them was adopted
they would be controlled without blood
shed on either side lie said the Ghey-
ennes were as warlike as the Apaches I;
that they were well armed and could put
from 1900 to 1909 warriors IN the war
path at any time.

Mr. Burchard Will Try Conclusions
with the President.

NEW YORK, June PA Washington
special to the EUeRis7g Post says: Mr..
Burchard, director OF the mint, accord
ing to present information, has decided to
test the power of the President to remove
him from office. There are two offices in
the Treasury which were created by spe-
cial statute, the tenure of which it is as
sumed makes it impossible for the Presi-
dent to suspend the incumbents unless
the Senate shall consent. The Offices
are those of director of the mint and the
Comptroller of the Currency. The law
under which the director of the mint
receives his appointment is as follows:
"He shall be appointed by the Presi-
dent by and with the advice and consent
of the Senate, and shall hold his Office for
the term of five years, unless sooner re-
moved by the President upon reasons to
be communicated by him to the Senate. "
The claim is that the phraseology of
this act differs from all general statutes
as to appointments, and that, though the
director may be suspended during the
recess, his Office Will revert to him should
| the Senate fail to confirm his successor.
Those who take the contrary view main
tain that the special statute creating the
office, if it means what the friends of the
incumbent claim, is violation of the
constitutional right of the President to
appoint to office.
A request has been made for the resig-
nation Of Mr.. Burchard. He will un-
| doubtedly refuse to resign. He is not in
sympathy with some of the financial
views of Treasurer Jordan, and is in
some respects opposed to the Secretary S
policy. From the outset of the admins
tration he has interposed legal and other
| objections to the plans of the new Treas
ury officers. There have been many
conflicts of opinions, and Mr.. Burchard
is regarded by the new Treasury officers
as an obstructionist. 1t has been the
intention for some time to secure his re-
moval, and his superiors were not
quite certain what effect would
be given to the special statute
under which he holds his Office.
1t had been hoped that he would resign,
charges having been made against him.
One is that he permitted a defaulting
subordinate to resign. Others are that
he is guilty of errors of judgment, inetfi-
| cheney, lack of executive ability, and has
| been careless in his management of the
silver purchases. Mr.. Burchard's friends
hold that it is due to himself not to re-
sign when such charges are made. New
ertheless, Secretary Manning awaits his
resignation. Mr.. Burchard, as far as can
be learned, does not wish contest with
the administration, but intends to pro-
teet his own reputation, and has decided
not to retire in the face of charges. He
has surrendered all the political fGnc-
tons Of his Office and claims that he can
support the financial lolicy of the ad-
ministration.
