This information comes from reliable
sources and warrants the assumption that
the Mackinac Lumber Company have
just about finished their operations in st.
Ignace. Whether the mill will be leased
or sold and whether or not it will be run
this season has not yet been determined.
Certain il is the Mackinac Lumber Com
pany have sold about all their pine.
Tho mill and salt block of Smith
Bros. q Co. at Bay City will be rebuilt.
This is certain. The Bay City Press says
that it was requested not to say much
about it, but the news is too good to keep.
The members of the firm have such valua-
Bile interests in that locality that the rumor
that they would probably build mill on
the Upper Peninsula whore they have
large amount of standing timber, is with
ont the slightest foundation. If they were
to build on the Upper Peninsula they
could not have salt and it would cost too
much TO get rid of the refuse of the mill
without a salt-block attachment. In ad-
dition to this, the product of the mill
would have to be shipped by rail, and this
would cost too much.
Prof. George s. Morris, who has filled
the chair of mental and moral philosophy

one of its ablest and most influential
members. Prof. Morris was about fifty
years of age, and was the author of several
philosophical works and papers. The
literary department was closed and the
University Senate and students attended
the funeral in body.
Attorney +. p Monfort, of Mt. Glenn
ems, is busily engaged finding the heirs of
the late Ann Price who died in Shelby
Township, Macomb County, in 1855. She
left an estate valued now at $4,000,
and there are forty and may be fifty
heirs. They are scattered all over the
country the whereabouts of some not
Der of heirs is due to the fact that when
Mrs. Price died February, 1859 a law
was on the statute books which gave a man
life interest in his wife's estate. This
law was repealed three days after Mrs.
Price died, not soon enough to prevent
her husband from going into possession.
This he enjoyed until 1887, thirty-two
years, and settlement of the estate was
deferred just that long.

"A few weeks ago Mrs. Johanna
Zschoegner and her daughter Emma ar
rived in Detroit from ALE yheny City on a
visi. to a son, John Zschoegner. On Feb.
% they both were taken suddenly i'll, and
four days later they died. Zschoegner and
his wife, upon promising to return in time
for the inquest, were allowed to take the
body to Allegheny City for burial, but mp
to date nothing has been heard from them
At the Coroner's inquest it was shown
that the stomach of the dead woman con-
tanned large quantities of arsenic. Anna
/ Zschoegner wife of John, has had two
husbands previous to Zschoegner, both of
whom died under peculiar circumstances.
The authorities claim that the young
woman, knowing that old Mrs. Zschoeg-
ner was wealthy, administered the poison
to her and to Miss Emma in order that
her husband might inherit the property.
Tho utmost courtesy was shown to
those women who turned out at Detroit
/ to register in order to be able 10 vote at
/ the April election. In many registration
places the Judges prohibited smoking,
two saloon keepers removed the place of
registering from their saloons to respecta-
bic quarters near by, and no unseemly
conduct was INDUCED in by any man
while the women were registering. About
500 registered the first day the books were
opened. Mrs. L. c. Skinner received the
following from Thomas w. Palmer: Il
send you congratulations. Let every
woman register and vote. 1t means
greater consideration for the affluent,
better wages for the struggling, better
law, better officers, and better state
