AT Portage Entry school teacher
was engaged by the School Director, but
the School Board would not allow her to
teach because she was member of the
Catholic Church.
The Governor has appointed Henry
o. Van Slyck, of Maple City, Commits
sioner to lay out and establish State
road in Leelanaw County, as provided for
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 cars aud
terribly crushed at the hips. He lived
about an hour after the accident, but did
not speak.
Judge S. S. Fnllas, of Cadillac, is
about to remove to Chicago.
r. IL. mason was having we'll drilled
OH his farm, which is about three miles
from the city of Alpena, says corre-
spondent of the Detroit Free Press. A
depth of fifty-seven feet was drilled in
the rock, when vein Of water was tapped,
which was thought to be sufficient to
supply what water was needed. When
the workmen came to put pump in the
we'll 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 maIlgnahG maIafiai, Ly-
phoid and scarlet fever. Our sewerage
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 Neus: Hon. Abiiah Wes-
ton, OF Painted Post, n. 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 9
man r,oaan~~~5 80 -
but he is, sure enough. lie looks as II
ne might be worth about $1.75, and would
have only himself TO blame if the land
lords made him pay cash in advance foi
his meals. Mr. Weston doesn't go mucl
on style, but as an accumulator of thu
almighty doll 7 he is no slouch.
The German syn dicate is reaching
out after more Lake Superior mines.

Following is nn abridgment OF I
last weekly weather-crop bulletin Sc
out from Lansing:
W The weather conditions of the past week ha
s, been unfavurable to the corn and potatoes a
w pastures, except in the counties that receiN
q" the heavy rninfall of last week. The conttnt
drouth has injured the corn in the east nali
the central and southern sections, and in
w southeastern portion the corn Is being rapi'
;" cut TO savo the fodder. In the west half
is these sections. where there were good rains Il
= week, the weather conditions have been "
CO favorable TO ripening the corn, and la
d. Weld is now anticipated from this portion
the State. Seeding has progressed rapidly
lls the southern tier OF counties, but the
or weather has not been very beneficial TO Sc
VI ing. In the central section the ground Is
dry and dusty TO do much seeding.
