A REPUBLICAN organ says
"the Mckinley law is doing its
own campaign work this year"
Yes, and it is doing it in a high
ly satisfactory manner to the
Democrats as the large falling
off in the Republican vote in
Vermont and Maine proves.
The Mckinley law has proved
itself a humbug and the people
are repudiating 1t as fast as
they become educated as to its
pernicious effects upon the
masses Of the people.

Yesterday marked a momentous
epoch in the story of christianity.
One hundred years ago, Sunday,
October 2, William Carey began tine
missionary movement for the Bap-
fist church in London, Eng.
At first the enthusiastic pioneer in
that grand movement met with much
opposition, and his own denomiIa
ton fought hard against the innoya-
ton.
But he perseverej and kept the
work going forward until others b..
came convinced of the great sOod e
had accomplished.
Ii was twenty years before re
made a convert, but By that time
others had enlisted IN the work.
Judson, the great pioneer of Metll=
odist foreign missions, began about
1912, and now there is nos country
ON the broad face of the globe where
the gospel Of Jesus Of Nazareth is not
being taught.
Even the Esquimaux and Hotten-
tots. the one half frozen and the
Jther half baked. have been preach

would seem small gain compared to
the dangers and privations incurred
in TIE work.

Worst Storm of the Season.

AT noon yesterday a tornado, lasting
about five minutes, passed over this city,
and was the worst We have experienced In
this section. Torrents Of rain fell, so
thickly mingled with hail that in a minute
the ground was white. Some Of the hall
stones were very large. We measured
one. 1t was 1ve-eighths Of an inch long
and half an inch thick. After the storm
was over the street cutters, In places, had
hailstone heaps over six inches deep.
One OF the largest plate glass windows In
the 80 cent store was blown to pieces, and
another broken. Part OF the brick wall
at each end Of the Fletcher block was
blown down. One plate glass window In
the McRae block was broken to pieces,
and another cracked. In various parts OF
the city shade trees were blown down, and
many store awnings were wrecked. The
Flagstaff on the top OF the Whitney block
was thrown into Second street The
smoke-stacks Of the Comstock mill and
the Albert Pack mill were sent to the
ground. Near Chisholm street barn
collapsed and E. Bigger, wife and child,
were seriously injured.
The U. s. weather observer reports
that the tornado travelled at the rate OF
70 miles per hour for one minute, and
considering the velocity and suddenness
Of the wind, it is matter Of wonder that
the city escaped as we'll as it did.
Great damage was done to gardens all
over the city.

Fourth of july.

The various Fourth Of July committees
had a second meeting at the Council
Room last Friday evening, for the pur-
pose Of perfecting arrangements. The
report from the soliciting committee was
encouraging, and showed an increase in
the donations, sufficient to guarantee the
financial part OF the affair.
The program arranged provides for a
grand parade during the forenoon, after
which the usual exercises will take place
In front of the Congregational church.
In the afternoon there will be sports at
the fair grounds, including half mile foot
race, 300 yards foot race, putting heavy
shot, three legged race, standing broad
jump, wheelbarrow race, pole vaulting,
boys foot race, sack race, and bicycle
races for men and ladies. Prizes are
offered for each contest, ranging from
five to ton dollars.
The horse races are as follows: Stall
lion race, best three in five, half mile
heats, prize $50. Three minute race, to-
tai prizes 800. Running race, total
prizes $50.
Entries to the horse races will be charg-
ed ten per cent Of the purse.
The winding up Of the sports will be a
tug Of war between ten married men and
ten single men, for prize Of $40.
In the evening there will be grand
display Of fire works from the Court
House square, under the management OF
Frank Hoffman.
1t is probable that more games will be
added to the program, and weather per.
hitting, the day will be one Of great in.
terest for the young people, and Of
course we are all young on the Fourth.
We nearly forgot to mention that the
patriotic youth will open the festivities
about daylight, by a noisy display Of fire
crackers, bombs and other instruments
for making artificial thunder.

Owing to various causes, no effective
work was done towards finding the sunk
en- steamer Pewabic last week. The
party who were here with the Bault div
ing suit, some time ago, applied In the
U. s. court for an Injunction to prevent
the men on the Emerald from using the
diving suits they had, claiming it was an
infringement on the Bault patent. The
consequence was that Mr.. Coon, the
manager Of the Emerald party, had to
make trip to Detroit last week, to an
swer the call Of the court. Mr.. Coon
claims that the suit no uses was invent
ed and patented by Oliver Pelky, who
lost his life at the Pewabic wreck last
fall, and that no purchased half interest.
Another reason why the wreckers have
been delayed, has been their inability to
find the Powabic. At first they thought
they had found the wreck, but afterwards
discovered their graple had fastened to a
ledge Of rock. Fogs have also caused
them much delay, as it prevented them
taking observations, so as to be able to
dredge about the place where she Is
known to lay. A wreck at the bottom OF
the lake, and miles distant from land, lie
not an easy object to find. The buoy
that was fastened to the wreck last fall
has evidently been carried away. The
Pewabic is known to be about six miles
from Thunder Bay light.

Important to Athena.

The log supply is question that con.
Germs the people Of Alpena deeply, but
we can assure them that many years will
pass before tho manufacture OF lumber,
to large extent, ceases in this city
There will Of course be decrease In the
amount to come down Thunder Bay river
each year, as compared with the past,
but logs will be obtained from other
sources and RATED to this city to be man.
ufactured into lumber.
The pine timber owned by Alpena citi.
zens, In Ontario, and which Is sure to be
towed to this port, amounts to at least
five hundred million feet. Then there
are ut least two hundred million feet of
logs to come from Pressure Isle and from
the upper peninsula.
The present season three log RATS have
already been towed to this port, two from
Pressure Isle county, and one from the
upper peninsula. The two from Pressure
Isle contained about two and half mil
lion feet of logs, and were for f. w.
Gilchrist and the Minor Lumber Co., the
latter firm receiving the most of them.
The raft from the upper peninsula con-
tanned over four million feet of logs, and
belongs to Albert Pack. 1t was lowed
In last week by the tug Niagara, and is
as large a log raft as has been towed on
the lakes. The logs have been doomed
at White Fish point, in the bay, about
three miles from this city. AS the logs
are wanted they will be made into small
RATS and towed to Mr.. Packs lumber mill.
This season, therefore, some seven
million feet Of logs have been towed to
this port from outside places, and our
citizens have received the benefit derived
from manufacturing tho same into lum-
Der and placing 1t aboard vessels.
Alpena is all right, and is bound to
grow, provided the citizens exhibit an
enterprising spirit and taxation is not ex-
cessive. Several cities have offered In,
ducements to capitalists TO bring logs TO
their towns, by making two dollar per
thousand assessment on logs, and Alpena
will have 10 do the same.

even went so far as to denounoe the Board

that gentleman Is not we'll posted, and
does what clergyman should refrain
from--accuses innocent parties. The
Board Of Education have no control over

simply a Organization composed OF
scholars who have graduated from the
High school. Our opinion is that the
alumni have done no wrong In deciding to
dance at the conclusion Of their banquet.
We do not consider dancing crime. We
look upon 1t as hard work. Young and
old folks enjoy 1t, and like every other
amusement, it is all right when properly

we'll patronized. The company comprises
Miss Anna Miller, violinist; Dewey Hey

Scott Haywood, cornetist; Miss Effie
Cave, soprano. They gave pleasant
and entertaining exhibition, and the au-
dience appeared well pleased. The re-
calls were numerous. Miss Miller Is a
fine violinist. Mr.. Eaton is clever i'm
personator, and his representation Of
"Josiah Aliens Wife," was good exhi-
bition OF acting. The flute playing Of
Dewey Haywood was fine, and Miss Cave
and Scott Haywood did their parts In
pleasing manner. The trio, "Te-sol-
Guests Aniva," by Miss Cave, and the
Messrs. Haywood, was exquisitely rend-
cred, and Miss Miller gave abundant
evidence OF her skill as a viollnist, when
she rendered "Andante of Scheryo." We
can heartily commend the New York Star
as good company.
