Before and After Election.

One of the manufacturers who made
use of the bulldozing "pay envelopes"
during the last campaign was P. K.
Dederick, maker of hay presses, brick
machines, ETC., at Albany. Among
the lies which appeared on the envel-
opes were the following:
The one issue of this campaign /;
shall American goods and products,
or English goods and products, stock
our home marketG Shall American
wages or English wages be paid to
our workingmen and workingwomen ?
A fac smile of the envelopes is now
published by the Albany Evening
Union, in the same column with this
interesting announcement
1t is now little over a month since
a protection President was inaugural
ed, and the Albany Express rep of
this morning contains the following:
Wages are heavily cut. p. X.
Dederick's men must accept 20 per
cent. reduction or CO."

Extending a Railroad.

The Toledo, Saginaw d Mackinaw
Railroad Company does not propose
to let the grass grow under its feet
this summer, and will make rapid
progress in the work of perfecting its
system in the Saginaw Valley before
the SHOWS of next winter fall. A large
force of men is at work on the west
side Of the river preparing road bed
and a dredge is assisting in the task.
Officers of the company have given
notice to the Board of Supervisors
that they will ask permission at the
special session of the Board in May
to build a bridge across the river, and
in anticipation of the right being
granted have awarded contracts for
the construction of the bridge, which
will be one of the finest on the river.
The right of way 10 West Bay City

has contracted with dredging COM

$1,000 a Week for Gables.


The Chinese minister is said to be
the most liberal patron of the cable
companies in Washington, and spends
even more money for telegaphing than
the govrnment Of the United States.
Almost every act of his is governed
by instructions asked and received
from his government, and, although
he used a cipher by which he can put
the meaning of 10 words into two, his
Geographic bills average $1,000 a
week, and often exceed that sum daily
for week at time. One day last
week he sent 81, 900 worth of dispatch
es to China concerning the riots at
Milwaukee, and received replies that
must have cost at least as much more,
In fact, enough money was spent in
communicating the information re-
garding the Milwaukee troubles to in
demnify the Cinnamon of that city for
all the damages suffered by them.
Cable messages to China are sent first
to Havre, then to Alden, thence across
the Arabian sea. through Hindostan
and Siam, to Pekin, and they cost
about 81 a word.-Chicago News.

Oil or Gas.

Michigan has been the marvel of
geologistsand scientists for many years.
Her wealth Of forests, Of minerals, salt,
stone and medicinal springs is marvel.
Gus, and is SO recognized, but we have
only scratched the surface of our
wealth yet. For many years it has
been well known that there were the
strongest kind of evidence that petro-
leum and natural gas existed in the
southern part of the county, but un.
til very recently nothing has been
done to demonstrate this fact. Now,
however, we learn that a syndicate of
Grand Rapids capitalists have secur-
ed an option on 5000 acres of land in
the southern part Of the county, and
will this summer proceed to sink sew
eral test wells to find out if the indi-
cations really indicate as it were. The
syndicate has plenty of money and are
sanguine of a rich strike, if not oil or
gas, then coal. 1t may seem prepos-
ferrous to any outsider, but that oil,
and gas, and coal underly Northern
Michigan there can be no doubt, as
there are fine veins Of camel coal at
Standish and other points between
here and Bay City, and fine and
successful gas well at Killmaster, back
of Huntsville, which would long since
have attracted national attention but
for its isolated location. Within four
miles of Cheboygan is an outcropping
of rock which bears umistakable evil
dence of having copper within it. In
Pressure Isle county all The large land
h olders are reserving mineral rights
to all lands they sell, on account of
evidences of gold, copper and iron the

We believe the time is not far dis
tant when wonderful deposits of gold,
copper, iron, coal, gas, oil and marble
will be developed in this northern
portion of the lower peninsula of
Michigan.--Cheboyga Democrat.

similar to that of the Flint & Pere
Marquette on this side of the river.
Passing through West Bay City. it is
probable the line may be extended in
the future to Oaatka Beach, and
thence across Kawkawlin river on
towards the north. It will keep TO
the east of the Mackinaw division of
the Michigan Central and touch at
villages which now have connection
with that road. 1t will then pass
along to Au Sable where it will con-
meet with the Detroit, Bay City a. AL
pena railroad, as well as with the Au
Sable d Northwestern, known as Potts
railroad, which runs in a northerly
direction. The two will form line
towards Mackinaw. and become di-
rect competitor with the Michigan
Central.
The Bay City Times thinks the
company will purchase the Smith mill
property at the lower end of West
Bay City, and gives this interesting
bit of news: 1t is said that the COM
pany owns coal mine OH its line and
will use the fuel by building an iron
works of some character at the Smith
mill property. 1t is also said that the
stockholders in the company own iron
possessions in the Upper Peninsula
and will bring orc from that point to
The west side property and work il up.

Pigs In Clover.

"A toy to sell must become fad,
says Moses Lyman, "and there's nc
predicting, or reasoning, or even guess
ing about fad It is like a WON
ans bonnet. Take the -four jolly
clowns, for instance. We thought
that would be 60 beyond doubt
1t fell fiat. The sun kite is another
example. Dealers all over the coun.
try, to whom we sent samples, enthu-
siastically loaded up with it. The
public wouldn't touch it. On the
other hand, we didn't have the slight
est expectation that pigs in clover,
which / own, would create furror."
"How did the craze for it start ?"
"The Lord only knows; l don't.
We sent sample TO one of our New
York agents. He ordered few for
the spring trade, and several gross for
next Christmas. One day he found
himself without any, and ordered the
Christmas stock sent on. Since then
we haven't been able to meet one-sixth
of our orders. In the first place we
couldn't get Eastwood enough for the
bottoms. Then we exhausted the
stock of marbles in the country
Marbles have gone up 100 per cent.
in price since pigs clover appeared"
"What are the profits ?"
81 will tell you this much. Wejob
the puzzles at So gross, or little
over three cents a piece. Retailers
at first readily got % cents. Now
they sell it as low as s cents, except
in Boston, where it is still going at 25
cents. Merchants are beginning to
give them away with purchases,
which depresses the retailers price"
"How high do you expect the sales
to reach before it runs out ?"
81 can't any more say than could
have foretold that it would sell at all.
The life of a tad of this sort is cal
culated, however, at about three
months. / regard it as almost dead
now in the large cities. The demand
is beginning to shift to the country,
where, in hog raising districts, it will
run high. After dying down by the
end of the spring there will be gen.
eral revival of the demand ut the
opening of the summer holidays. Six
months from now pigs in clover will
be only memory"
what has been the greatest puzzle
in commercial sense ?"
"'Pigs in cloyer.' Its sales have
exceeded those OF the ceiebrat-
ed fifteen puzzle. The best selling
toy ever put on the market was the
Strobel & Wilkin Co.'S tin crawling
turtle~,a German invention. It's sales
reached 5000, 00O."-EK.

Mr.. Watson Returns,

]. w. Watson, the well known
Miles City dry goods man, has re-
turned from two months visit 10 his
family in the northern part OF Michi-
gan. He states that business in that
state is fairly good and that crops are
correspondingly good. The season
has been unusually hot, but there
were heavy rains in the spring which
gave everything good start. Wheat,
corn and barley are the principal
cereals raised 10 the part Of Michigan
of which Mr.. Watson speaks.
M. Watson states that Dakota from
Fargo west looks exceedingly dry and
that many Of the crops In that region
will be total failures. Reports circu-
lated through the east give Montana
blacker eye on her forest and range
fires than she Is entitled TO. He said
he had expected to find things much
worse than they are. The reports are
iDdiscriminate as to locality and con.
clude that the whole OF Montana is on
fire, while In point of fact the fires
have been principally confined TO the
western portion OF the territory.

The Only Change.

The only change In the complement
Of teachers at the public school who
will teach this year IL that of Miss
Verona +. Olds. who relieves Miss
Annie Howard as teacher Of the 4th
grade, and assistant in the high school.
Miss Olds is lately from Moorbead,
OAK, and has been engaged In teach-
ing for about five years, and is very
accomplished and successful teacher.
She stood an examination here and
was awarded fret class certificate.
There were two others examined, but
certificates have not been awarded
them yet and 1t Is not known whether
they were successful or not.
The school is now fairly open and
the work begun. The attendance is
equally as large rs last year, aud
everybody appears fresh and confident
and eager 10 learn.

that his own busi.ess interests were
paramount and that he was disin-
cllned to enter political contest. The
same objection was urged when the
committee rendered him Mr.. Robert.
sons place on the ticket, but loyalty
TO party and desire to aid In an eco
nomical administration Of county at
fairs, thereby protecting the range in
teresi, with which he is largely iden-
titled, overCame this objection and his
unqualified assent to become a candi-
date was obtained. The executive
committee take great pleasure in pre-.
senting his name TO the voters of Gus.

they add an element of strength to the
ticket and knowing that lie Is more
than ordinarily qualified to discharge
the duties OF the office.
Another change that has been made
In the work of the convention il the
placing of Mr.. E. p. H. Harrison on
the ticket for the Office OF county sur
veyor. Mr.. Harrison is the present
incumbent Of the Office, AID the nom
inee Of the democratic par Y In this
campaign. While 1t is not as rule,
good politics to use democratic timber
on a republican ticket there are excep.
tious to this, and the case in point is
one. The republican parry in Custer
county is without a qualified csndi.
date for surveyor, and it would be
neither just nor honest to the people to
put up man who IL elected would
have to hire qualified assistance at the
county cost to do his work. Another
reason influencing the committee TO
the endorsement Of Mr.. Harrisou's
candidacy h that during his term of
Office, unlike the majority OF demo-
cratic officials with this county has
been afflicted, he has proved himself
competent, efficient and economical.
No work has been done by him that
was not necessary, aud his bills have
been wholly within the limit provided
by law. We congratulate Mr.. Hsrri-
son on the fact that he IL so well
thought Of by the republican mana
gers. ana venture the prediction that
he will be tIiumrhautly elected.
