AT Portage Entry a school teacher
was engaged by the School Director, but
the School Board would not allow her to
teach because she was a member of the
Catholic Church.
The Governor has appointed Henry
O. Van Slyck, of Maple City, Commits
sioner to lay out and est lblish State
/
at the recent session of the Legislature.
William r. Parker, young man
about 2G years of age brakeman on the
Potts logging road, near Alpena, in at
tempting to couple an engine to a log
car was pinned between the rs aud
terribly crushed at the hips. He lived
about an hour after the accident, but did
not speak.
Judge S. S. Fallas, of Cadillac, is
about to remove to Chicago.
F. L. Mason was having we'll drilled
Il. on his farm, which is about three miles
from the city of Alpena, says CORE
spondent of the Detroit Free Press.
depth of fifty seven feet was drilled in
the rock, when vein of water was tapped,
which was thought to be sufficient to
supply whit water was needed When
the workmen came to put pump in the
well they discovered that the water there
in was covered with an oily substance
which ruined it for domestic purposes.
The oil has been examined and pro-
nounced to be petroleum. 1t burns readily.
The amount obtained from the we'll is
not large, but indicates that petroleum
exists at Alpena.
-Au Sable Monitor: There is some
thing radically wrong with the sanitary
condition of both Au Sable and Oscoda.
This is plainly proven by the large num-
Der of cases of malignant malarial ty-
nboid and ccorlat fayar Our cauaraoa
amounts to nothing; we have none. A
cemetery at the door of our houses in Au
Sable also yields its typhoid and scarlet
fever influences to the system, through
the medium OF our wells The old Dead
Sable lies a stagnant pool of malaria
throughout the summer months. These
are some of the evils which beset us on
every hand. In Oscoda the water system
has partially overcome the trouble SUPER
induced by bad water. But not one
fourth of the citizens use lake water from
the water works.
st. Ignace Ners: Hon. Abijah Wes-
ton, Of Painted Post, y. Y. owner of
Manistique and the greater portion of
Schoolcraft County, was in the city
several hours last Saturday. No one
would ever pick him out in crowd as a
man possessed of several million dollars,
but he is, sure enough. He looks as if
be might be worth about Sl.75, and would
have only himself to blame if the land
lords made him pay cash in advance for
his meals Mr.. Weston doesn't go much

The German syn dictate is reaching
out after more Lake Superior mines. A
dispatch to the Detroit Free Press from
Ishpeming says:
Ferdinand Schlesinger Of Milwaukee repre-
senting the Bleichroder German syndicate has
secured an option for the purchase OF the Bes-
| sic mine at humboldt. and now holds the re-
/ fusal of number OF the best non-bes semer
hematite iron mines OF the Marq uette range,
after purchasing six leading mines of the
cate is apparently to buy all the leading nom
bessemer mines in the Lake Superior district.
| -Four million dollars is already invested in
mines here by this syndicate.
A few weeks ago Mayor Watrous, OF
Bay City, vetoed a resolution of the Com
mon Council to buy piece of property
for City Hall, and the Council failed to
pass the same over his veto. A few
nights ago the Council passed a similar
resolution to buy the same property. The
Mayor, who was absent in Colorado, was
notified by wire, took train Immediately,
and reached Bay City an hour and a half
before the expiration of the time of the
veto power He fled his objections with
the Recorder and then went home to
sleep. That's the kind of Mayor Bay
City has.
Following is an abridgment of the
last weekly weather-crop bulletin sent
out from Lansing:
The weather conditions OF the past week have
been unfavorable 10 the corn and potatoes and

! the heavy rainfall OF last week. The continued
