There came near being an exciting
scene at the Opera House last Saturday
evening, whilo the Browne troupe were
giving an entertainment. Two children
were drumming, and one Of them about
three years old was pounding the bass
drum. The orchestra commenced play
ing patriotic air, and the younger child
threw down his drum stick, seized a flag
staff and waved the national colors. His
part was then to lay the flag down on the
stage and commence drumming again.
The child threw down the flag, but 1t fell
over the foot lights. In moment the
banner caught fire and began to burn furl-
ously. Considerable alarm was mani.
tested by some OF the audience, and one
woman jumped up from her seat. There
was prospects for a panic among the audi
ence, but one OF the actors, George Ken
dali, rushed across the stage, picked up
the burning banner and carried It into
the wing, where 1t was quickly extingulsh-
cd. The actor deserves much praise for
his presence Of mind and his prompt work,
as very little will sometimes cause panic
among an audience.

termed citizens traitors, and charged
them with selling out the proposed rail-
road to Alger. Mr.. Churchill then gave
history OF the proposed railroad, and
spoke Of the other charges, and showed
beyond denial that the article referred to
was UNANIMOUSLY false; that 1t was a
malignant statement, without truth OF any
kind. and that such newspaper articles
were wrong, Injurious to the community,
unjust to the party attacked, caused dis
cord among the people, prevented q unity
Of feeling among the citizens, helped to
retard tho growth OF the city. and. we add
exhibited a true anarchist spirit OF de-
monism.
Mr.. Churchill believed that AlgaI
would extend his railroad north from this
city.
James Mcnamara was called upon, and
showed what good work w. L. Churchill
and Messrs Comstock and Maltz had done
1t Washington, In behalf OF the public
building.
Mayor Harshaw spoke few words In
regard to the benefit that would accrue
from the development Of the farming
lands, and of the need Of economy In the
management Of the city finances during
the present year
Remarks were also made by W. G.
Cunningham, Z. o. Avery and Judge
Kelley. The latter made strong ar.
gument on the necessity Of unity among
the citizens, and that Alpena people, Il
thoroughly imbued with feeling OF unity
we're able to start the new industries
themselves, and did not need to look out.
side for help. There was the capital, en-.
srgy, and raw materials here, and all that
was necessary was unity OF spirit, and
the city would blossom out into one oil

the Judge, and Alpena's natural resouro

population; great natural resources, and

that was necessary was unity among the

A vote OF thanks was rendered j. G.
Comfort for the free use Of the Opers
House.
Such public meetings as the above can
have but one effect, and that Is to create
energy, contentment and unity among the
people, instill in them hopeful feeling,
make them realize that they are residents
in one Of the best places In the country,
and that here is where they can get most

We do not approve Of that part OF the

farmer to deliver produce to regular
customer unless he pays a fee, and we do
not believe 1t was 90 intended. The in

place where the buyer could meet the
seller. Our columns are open to the
farmers for the purpose Of expressing
their ideas on this subject. We consider
the farming industry will yet be the main
foundation Of Alpona's prosperity, and
measures that oppress them should not
