A Fiue Outlook.

Every day something is learned which
further insures the success Of the coming
fair. Secretary Lafrentz yesterday stated
that 100 stalls at the grounds had already
been taken and that applications for ex-
hibit space in the merchants and art halls
had been made by the lowing persons:
B. HelIman, [. Greentree, Mrs. j. t.
Chafin, E. R. Beckstead, Z. Mehesey
and W. NJ. Mast.
The Douglas william Sartoris Horse COM
pany of Laramie will be represented here,
as will also Arther Stokes, the Red Buttes
horse breeder.
The track is being placed in the best
possible condition and it is not at all un-
likely that records will be broken.

The Exposition Car.

The Salt Lake exposition car, or a Utah
fair on wheels as it has been aptly termed,
passed through the city Sunday evening
en- route to its starting point, after com
pletiug a tour of the Eastern states.
This car, which was QUILTED under the
auspices of the Salt Lake chamber of
commerce, has perhaps done more to a :
vertise that city and the territory than any
legitimate scheme previously attempted.
The car contained a splendid mineral cab
inst, a complete display of vegetables,
fruits and cereals, together with samples
Of all native products aud finally several
tons of advertising matter which were dis
tributed en- route.

Discovered a New Route.

The boys have a very good joke on
Geo. w. Vallery, the popular general
agent for the Burlington. He visited
Denver Sunday, intending to return yes
terday morning. In fact he did return,
but was in a through west bound sleeper
when the train reached this city, and did
not awake until the brakeman shouted
Laramie. Mr.. Vallery finally landed in
his office yesterday afternoon, but thinks
via Laramie the longest route known be-
tween Denver and Cheyenne.

At a ranch near Laramie last week
Ella Jamison bested w. G. Whitton in a
hstic battle and then assaulted him with
a pitchfork. Ella probably thought the
weapon a new-fangled broom made for
such exingencies. She is now in jail.
She is so red-headed that a black horse
turned white at the sight of her, and SO
homely that she kills r~attlesnakes by
locking at them. In short, according to
the Laramie papers, Ella is what is vul
carly termed "a daisy"

Alpena weekly argus. [volume] (Alpena, Mich.) 1871-1893, 1888-06-06

A stranger opened up genuine
lottery, all but the name, on River
street, near Second, Friday night.
He pretended to sell collar buttons at
fifty cents each, and then allowed the
purchaser to draw an envelope from
box that contained several hundred
envelopes. In each envelope was a
ticket, and each ticket had number.
The numbers were from ! to at least
800. Back of the lottery man was a
piece of canvass on which was paint.
ed As numbers. If a person drew a
number tina. correspondent with a
number on the canvass, he was entit-
led to the amount specified on the
canvass under each prize number.
The prizes ranged as high as 80.
The lottery appeared fair enough, ex-
cept that the street man who ran the
concern had eight or ten chances in
his favor. In reality the person who
bought took his chance Of drawing
one of the AZ prize envelopes from a
box that contained several hundred
blanks. 1t was genuine lottery.

of all the aldermen elect.
| find. bearing upon this question /:
Suppose there were but five aldermen
present and three should vote to post

man say motion was not carried
This would not appoint anybody to
Office. So when there is tie vote to
postpone. the Mayor has the right to
vote, and his duty is to do so.
This does not appoint any one to
Office it is but an ordinary matter
that happens in the conduct of the
business of the Council. There is
nothing in the charter that says that
the Mayor shall have no vote in the
appointment Of officers.
/ give it as my opinion, that no
lawyer or layman, unless a partisan,
will read the charter. and then give
it as his honest opinion that the
Mayor has no right to vote under
such circumstances.

Memorial Day.

The day was observed as n national
holiday here, and during the after
noon business places were closed. The
weather was cold and dsagreeable.
About two o'clock in the afternoon the
procession formed on Dock street,
near the bridge, and then proceeded
up Second street to River street and
along the streets named in the pro.
gram. The procession was fine one
and consisted Of the Germania band,
the Guards, the Select knights, A. o.
q. W.; Sons of Veterans; Lockwood
Post, G. A. R. :; floral car; Woman's
Relief Corps in carriages, and large
number of carriages containing citi-
zens.
The procession came to halt in
front of the Congregational church.
On the square lofty monument had
been erected. 1t was decked with
evergreens and bore the inscription
"In memory of our nations dead"
In front of the church stand was
built for the use of the orator,
choir and others. Rev. F. n. Barlow
delivered the Memorial address.
After the services were over, Lock-
wood Post, the Sons Of Veterans, the
Relief Corps and others proceeded to
the cemetery and decked with flowers
the graves of deceased soldiers.
During the march the Guards and
Select Knights performed many mill
tary movements, and both presented
a creditable appearances.
The floral car formed pretty sight
and its decorations were admirably
arranged.

ables him to undersell the strongest
of his competitors in Alpena and don't
you forget it. Goods are all new.
But the prices will knock you silly.
