 If pine straw. says the Atlanta, Georgia, Chronicle, ''becomes as popular in making bagging as wood pulp has in making paper, the pine lands of the. South will become gold mines. Thousands of barren acres in Georgia will become immediately valuable. With turpentine, wood pulp, pine straw and fine timber the owners of pine barrens will be- come barons sure enough"
 It Is reported that at Franklin, Indiana, recently the body of 8 woman was exhumed which had been buried twenty-six years and that it was found with a natural appearance and a life-like and recognizable countenance. The Hartford Courant rises to to remark that this remarkable freak of nature has but one precedent in history and that is the case of the Democratic party. It has been buried time and time again, and when by chance it Is dug up again it shows no change whatever and is soon buried again.
 It is difficult to know when you are safe nowadays. In Boston the other day woman was passing under a street awning when one of the steel ribs of her umbrella came in con- tact with one of the iron supports of the awning. Instantly she received an electric shook of considerable force. Examination showed that stream of water running down telephone wire to the awning frame formed perfect conductor for the electric current and charged the iron work. Had the current might have occurred.
 The present decade is the first one in our national history in which no new State has been admitted into the Union. Colorado came in in 1876, Kansas, Nevada and Nebraska in the sixties; California, Minnesota and Oregon in the ffties; Florida, Texas, Iowa and Wisconsin in the forties; Arkansas and Michigan in the thirties; Maine and Missouri in the twenties. and Louisiana, Indiana, Mississippi, Alabama and Illinois in the teens. Ohio came in in 1802, while Vermont, Kentucky and Tennessee antedate the pres ent century. All the indications now are
 that the eighth decade is not to remain bar- ren of new States.
 A little steamer was launched at Brooklyn, New York. the other day which it's construc- tor believes is destined to revolutionize ocean transportation. This steamer is to be pro- pelled by explosions of atomized petroleum,

 Examrle of Australian LouraIIsm. From the York World.J
 "I was out there five and half years"
 said newspaper man, speaking of Australia.
 Melbourne is one of the finest cities of the world, one in which there is great wealth. There are number of fine newspapers in the different cities of Australia. The work on them is rather peculiar. There is, of course, the local news and all that, but the most impotant work is that of editing the cablegrams. European news is of the great est possible importance, yet the tolls are so heavy-$2 word-that skeletonizing in the highest degree is necessary. The London cablegrams come as one telegram, run all to- gether, you know, and first it must be cut up the matter relating to one subject being sep arated from the rest There will not be more than three or four words upon any one subject, so you will see that padding is ne- cessary. There is no danger of being caught up with, as the English newspapers are forty two days in getting there. The day of the Hanlan-Laycock race on the Thames we had in type two accounts of the race, wholly im- aginary, of course, one of which made Han lon win, while the other made Laycock the winner. The telegram came, 'Hanlgn won six lengths so we fixed up the Hanlon story and put it in. The result was that column account of the race, in which every detail was given with great minuteness, appeared | next morning. You will readily see that to do this work successfully man must be I thoroughly posted on the affairs of the world" REGULATE the Regulator" by using War ner's Log Cabin Sarsaparilla.

That Game of Base Ball.

Saturday afternoon last the printers
and fremen met in mortal combat on
the diamond at the fair grounds.
When Greek meet Greek then comes
the tug of war, and victory wav-
cred between the contestants until
the last innings, when she lit down on
the fire boys and crowned them cham
pions of the base ball contest.
For the printers, the ARGUS had
charge of the pitchers box and third
base; the Pioneer was on guard at
first base and center field, and the
Journal was on duty at second base
and short stop. All three papers
were annihilated when standing be-
hind the bat. There was where their
weakness lay, and brought about the
frown of Madam Victory.
In the first innings the fire boys
turned on a general alarm and before
the printers had recovered from the
shock had made II runs. In the
second innings the printers picked up
their mallets and "pied" the fire boys
so badly that nice string of IA runs
was set on the galley, and the fire
boys given a 0. The printers main.
tanned the lead until the fourth in
nings when the fire boys, having got a
good pressure, succeeded in tieing the
printers-the score then being "a to
"a. The last innings was for gore,
and the fire boys got it, winning the
game by one run.
The fire brigade were reinforced by
the telephone and paper pulp factory,
and the printers tried unsuccessfully
to secure the gas works. The follow.
ing will show the runs made by the
different members!

certained that some so2 had been TAX
en- out of the till. Postoffice detec-
tive O'Neil, Of Detroit, was notified,
and Langlois was arrested Thursday.
The Detroit Free Press reports as fol-
lows concerning the case: "Langlois
was brought before assistant U. S.
district attorney Wilkins, Thursday.
and searched, Sc in money and a
bulky letter to an Alpena man, which
had been opened in transit, being
found upon him. He denies any
criminal intent in taking the money,
saying that it was usual for him to
take money from the stamp drawer
and replace it, and that he had in
tended returning at once to Alpena,
only coming to Detroit on a visit"
1t was expected that Langlois would
be brought to this city Saturday, and
an officer was waiting for him, but
Uncle Sam declined to let him come,
and the case will probably be decided
by the u. S. officials at Detroit.
Langlois was also in the habit of get
ting responsible citizens to endorse his
notes, which he would get discounted.
AS far as we can learn all these notes
have been taken up except one for
$40. What he did with the money
has not been ascertained. He receiv-
ed a good salary as postoffice clerk.

Republican Rally.

Posters were displayed about the
city last week, notifying the people
that the Republicans would meet in
the Opera House Saturday night and
put on their war paint and organize
so as to be better able to resist the as
sault of the Democrats. Consequent
ly a number of the Republicans as
sembled at that place, and, including
Democrats, there we're about $50 per-
sons. Judge limerick was selected
chair man and Grant Rutherford sec.
rotary. Ward clubs were organized
with following officers:
First ward. B. r. Young, presi-
dent F. N. Fletcher, secretary and

Mr.. Maltz volunteered short
speech at the Republican rally Satur-
day night which was mostly devoted
to the article in the ARGUS last week,
in regard to the limit of the lumber
industries. The speaker thought the
fact should not be made known, and
stated his belief that the way to do
was to 60 on until the logs we're all
up and then go and get Canada logs.
In other words he believed in trusting
to luck in regard to maintaining the
lumber industries. On that subject
we differ with Mr.. Maltz. The time
to speak of the log question is at pres
ent, when there is chance of secur-
ing large supply, which would main
tain a prosperous business here until
the agricultural interests of the coun-
ty were developed, and then the fu-
ture of Alpena is assured. The way
to help Alpena is to vote for the Dem
ocratic tariff reduction bill, which
will enable Canada logs to be brought
to the mills here for manufacture, and
will also tighten the taxable burdens
of the people. The protective tariff
is of no benefit to Alpena people, and
only taxes them for the benefit Of
trusts and millionaires.

The musical entertainment given
by the Moss family at the Opera
House, Thursday night, was much en-
ioyed by the many persons present.
The musical and vocal selections were
capitally rendered, and the character
sketches good. The parts taken by
Bertha and May, the two youngest
members of the troupe, were especial
ly worthy of praise. Little Bertha's
exhibition of the drum majors baton
drill, and the manual of arms, brought
her warm applause. In one of the
band pieces, little Bertha performed
on variety of instruments, such as
the snare drum, cymballs, bass drum,
tambourine, bells, etc. The charac-
ter acting of May was also good, and
her singing pleasant. All the men,
bsrs of the family are musicians, and
their brass band selections were ad-
mirably rendered. The entertain
ment concluded with comic operetta
"The Lottery Ticket" that caused
many hearty laugh. The Opera
House was we'll filled.

known are these beautiful spectacles
that to most people it is unnecessary
to say more than that We have them

merits, we would add that on account
of the form of the lenses the wearer
can see through all portions Of me
glass with equal distinctuesss.
They are Very Hard and therefore

many years use.
Their pellucid clearness renders
their use both pleasant and agreeable
