!. John Sexton was arrested last Friday
and taken to Port Huron. where ht
: was arraigned before Justice Robeson
: on charg eof selling liquor without a
! license. He waived examination and
/, gave bonds for his appearance at the
next term of the circuit court. a war
rant was issued for VIM. Barrett on the
same charge, but he had left for parts
unknown the day before.
The examination of Eliot Merritt,
formerly of this place, now of Croswell,
on charge of embeZzling property of
the estate of III. II. Merritt deceased,
began on Tuesday and closed WedneS-
day evening. Justice Etfrick, before
whom the proceedings were conducted,
reserved his decision until Monday
next. The matter has the appearance
of family quarrel and was rather dis
gusting in many of its characteristics.
The second week of the Teachers
State Institute opened at Fort GratiOt
on Monday with some 40 names added
to the enrolment of last week. This

The work of the instructors is giving
general satisfaction. They are giving
special attention to scientific methods,
educational psychology and the thought
of the great educational reformers.
The school will continue three weeks
yet.
y man named Tim Doyle, claiming
Mt. Salem as his home, was in the viii
, lage the other day selling patent fly
powder which, when mixed with a lit
tie brown sugar. was sure death to the
peSky fly that partook of it. The pow
der was nothing more nor less than
common road dust. Doyle succeeded
in taking in numerous nickes and
those who purchased the powder re-
quest that their names be withheld
from print

1t seems that some Of our young
ladies' prefer q kiss from lips o'ersha-
dowed by a mustache At least it looks
that way, when one of them sends the
following recipe to her sweetheart for
. growing the desired mustache: About
nine p. m. place glass of water on a
chair near the bed. rub little salt on
your Gpper lip and get into bed. Lie
facing the water and pretend to sleep
but Keep one eye partly open and you
will soon see little hair come out in
search of a drink. the salt having made
it thlrsty. Watch closely and suddenly
catch hold and tie knot in it to pre-.
vent it from going back. Renew the
pretence of sleep and treat the succeed
I ing hairs in the same way. If you are
{ watehful and quick, by morning you
will have a nice little mustache"
Cur boys who wear the largest base
ball pants went to Yale on the 4th. At
the close of the fourth inning and just
when our sluggers claim to have struck
winning gait, shyster plan to stop
the game was carried out by one of the
other team, when he stepped on and
broke the mask. under pretense of ac-
cident. The game will be played to a
. finish at Croswell at an early day

, We are all curIous--and it is surpris-
! ing how curious we are-to know the
, way other people live, especially we'll
known people. For several months we
have been treated to glimpses into
"Some Home Under the Administra-
tion," in Washington, in fine series of
| beautiful illustrated articles in Dem
orest's Family Magazine. in the Aug
ust number Gust arrived). Postmaster
General Wanamaker's mansion is
thrown open to us. and we are charmed
with its beauties. The handsomely eX-
/, ecuted illustrations give us every detail
as accurately as would a personal view,
and it is great pleasure to stroll with
the writer and artist through the ele-
giant apartments and the famous pic
ture-gallery. the latter containing some
of the rarest works of art in America.
This August number should be seen by
everybody, if for this feature alone; but
it contains other features equally inter-
esting, not the least of which is an ac-
count of "The Oberammergau Passion
! Play" which is illustrated not only
| with a picture of the Bavarian village
; where the play is now being enacted,
: but also with many of the tableaux
shown in this historical performance.
, There is also complete novelette, by
/; Queen Elizabeth of Roumania C"Carmen
+ SylvaO, preceded by her portrait and
/ fine illustrations of her summer castle
