THERE is law which,goes into effect
Jan. / which requires all freight cars in

of safety couplers, and Commissioner
Rich has notified the companies about it.
So MANY people have been shot for
deer in the Alpena district that credence
in the excuse is being lost and murder is
being limited at in some cases.
THE Marquette aldermen are paid 81
per year. and Mayor Longyear refuses To-
sign their bills for extra. pay on election
day.
THE San Francisco Argondut says:
"The name of the Sweet Singer of Michi-
gan was Mrs. Julia A. Moore; do you
recollect what sensation her poems
created when they appeared several
years ago? Well, that little bit of a
volume is worth its weight in gold now.
The edition was not large one, and
stray copies are exceedingly rare. Biblio-
maniacs have advertised in vain for it.
The fair poetess when she wrote those
poems was a widow: she has married
again, and is now living in the wilds Of
the upper end of Michigan.
FISHERMEN have been having good
success in catching whitefsh, on what is
known as the north reef, which extends
from Thunder Bay Island TO Middle ISL
and, says an Alpena letter TO the Detroit
Free Press Many years ago that was
one of the best fall fishing grounds on
the lakes. The destructive plan of fish
ing that was then pursued nearly exter-
minated the fish. The. fish were caught
at spawning time, and thus the greater
part of their spawn was destroyed
Then came many years of very
poor fishing, and fishermen met
with small reward for their labor.
The Fish Commission then began the
plan Of planting whtefsh. For several
years many millions of young whitefish
have been planted in the waters adjoin-
ing Alpena. The work of the Fish Com
mission is now bearing fruit, and white
fish are again becoming numerous in the
Alpena waters. The Improvement in
and the present season fishermen have.
caught large amounts of the fish. One
tug recently brought in 1000 pounds of
whitcfish.
DETROIT dispatch: Little Matilda
Oresch had her scalp and left ear torn
off by having her hair caught in shaft.
The scalp refused TO knit and the doc
tors decided that live flesh must be en-
grated. Matida's sister Emma volun-
teered to give the flesh. The two chill
dren were laid side by side. on the opera
ting table and a piece of flesh S by 3
inches was laid back on Emma's left
breast. The other girl was then placed
close up TO her sister and the severed
end of the flesh stitched TO one side OF
the place where the scalp had been torn
away. The operation took thirty min
utes, and when completed the two girls
were bound together, one side of the
flesh cut from Emma being stitched To
Matilda's face, the other side being un-
cut on Emma's left breast The doctors
say il is the only operation Of the kind
ever performed and expect that the flesh
