The grand way in which the glori-
Gus Fourth will probably be celebrat-
ed in this enterprising city is as fol-
lows In the morning young America
will get out of bed much earlier than
he is accustomed to, and will usher in
the day with a display of fire crackers.
A few torpedoes may be exploded and
some guns discharged. The next
thing is breakfast. Then ensues the
grand parade. Citizens will march
along the sidewalks of Second street,
from the bridge to Washington ave-
nue. and return. This will be repeat.
ed until the celebrators are tired
The march will be interspersed with
stops at the various peanut stands,
and the young fellows will escort their
best girls to the ice cream parlors and
entertain them royalty. Uncle Sam
expects every person to do his duty
on that memorable day, SO that it
may be long remembered as a bright
tint ON the tablets of the young ladies
minds. Therefore let no man neglect
his duty as a patriot. In addition to
the formal celebration above stated,
there will be- number of other amuse-
ments. There will be private family
excursions to Long Lake. and yacht
ing parties in sailboats out on the bay.
Dinner will be partaken wherever it
can be obtained. During all this time
the youthful Americans, full of patri-
otism, will be making the city ring
with the noise Of fire crackers and tor
pedoes. A few individuals will i'm
bibe too much of that fluid that biteth
like an adder, and will consequently
remember the celebration for many
days. The memorable day will close
with grand display of fireworks,
consisting of about half dozen rock
cts, some Roman candles, and as many
fire crackers as the young Americans
have money to buy. And thus the
great day will be observed. Now LET
the great American eagle scream.

That's Right.

The Council has provided for the
right and proper care of cattle by
the owners thereof, ruling that the
State law is bigger man than the
Alpena Common Council, thus saying
to the people the members of that
body were elected to represent, "from
this time forward all parties owning
cattle, horses, hogs, etc., will not be
permitted to make public barnyard
of the property of the citizens and
corporation" Our wives and daught.
ers may now safely travel the walks
of the city with no fear of wading in
barnyard filth to such an extent that
when they return home it becomes nee
essary that shoes, hose and skirts shall
go through a renovating process
Trees can be put out, and no cattle to
break them down and eat them off,
Lawns can be made, fences taken
down, and Alpena can be made as
beautiful city as Michigan can boast
of.
Oh, dear! Alas, we have been
dreaming! The council has done
nothing of the kind.

Some time ago Col. Hawley, of the
Third regiment, M. S. T., made sever
al staff appointments in his regiment.
Adjt. Gen. Anger refused to issue the
commissions ON the ground that the
law had not been complied with in
such cases made and provided. This
is met by Col. Hawley and General
Brown by the allegation that the law
in the point indicated has been brok-
en- or ignored as often as it has been
observed. Anger holds to his ground
on the valid plea that the fact Of err
rors in practice by his honored prede.
cessors does not warrant him in erring
and thus the thing stands-with an
occasional broad intimation from Bay
City that Anger has "some Interior
object in view," which his friends say
is all Interior damphoolishness.-De
troit Journal.
The above has reference to the adj
jutant and quartermaster.

At night the cars composing the
express train are left on the track al
the "Y". AT that place there are two
tracks, besides the one leading from

ed down the track a short distance, so

track. Her work is to draw the log
train, and she was on her way to where
her cars were laying. Through some
mistake on the part of some railroad
employee, the switch was set to the
wrong track, and the engine backed
down with great speed on the cars of
the express train. A collision ensued.
The tender of the engine..was smashed
in the end, and the end of the Wagner
palace car was also badly wrecked
Frank McGinn, brakeman of the log
train, was standing on the end of the
tender, and just as the collision began
he jumped, but not quick enough, and
one leg was broken in three places
near the ankle, besides which his thigh
was hurt and he also sustained inju-
ries in the side. The parlor car was
damaged so much about the end and
one Of the trucks, that it could not be
used until repairs we're made, and the
express was obliged to made her Sat-
urday trip without it. The tender
was injured more than the parlor car.

The steam yacht Kinda is nearly
ready for making trial trip, when
her steaming capacity will be tested
by run to the can buoy and back to
this port. The new boiler just placed
in her does not appear to take up
more room than the old one, and the
difference between it and the old one
only caused the yacht to sink an inch
or so lower in the water. With the
great power furnished by the new
boiler, we are of the opinion that the
Kinda will prove speedy craft. The
boiler is so fitted with fues that steam
can be generated very rapidly.
