Our Ghost.

Peter the Small a Washington Springs
correspondent in the Alpena Journal
Office, says: "Blank has never been
resurrected since he committed politi-
cal suicide two years ago" Now it APP
pears to us from reading the different
papers Of the county, and by listening
to the talk of the opposing foes that
Blank must be pretty lively corpse.
1t seems strange that so much of the
valuable space" in the Alpena Jour
nal should be devoted to dead. ar d
gone carcass. Perhaps it is his spirit
that haunts them at every turn in
their nefarious course, and causes
them Sc much uneasiness. Go on noble
ghost in thy proud career, discover
their dark deeds and bring them
forth to the light OF day. We in this
corner Of the footstool are to be neither
gagged, lntirlidated nor bought.
Yours Truly,
CHERY.

darkness was almost like night and the
people fed to the nearest shelter and

the city in full force about 1l;20, and ragged

were running rivers of water carrying
boxes and signs and other similar freight,
blown from buildings or swept up by the
flood. All the damage by the water, how
ever, proved entirely insignificant when
the full extent of the disaster became
known. Lathrop school consisted of a
main building to which an art wing had
been added. The building was surmount-
ed by a tower which for some time had
been considered unsafe. 1t had been twice
condemned but no action had been taken
in the matter. The building was crowded
with children. The winds swept madly
along and seemed to concentrate their force

building wasa mass of ruins. The effect
