Objects to the Leg Show Item

Mrs. A. G. Teft, once respected lady
of this city, called at this Office last Satur-
day and entered a mild protest against the
item we had in the last issue, in regard to
Jake Schweinforth's leg show. We should
be very sorry to misrepresent any person
or organization, and thus we submit some
proof.
o. w. Ostrander lived with the Schwein-
forth gang for ten years, but at last becom-
ing disguised with the proceedings Of the
sect, left them recently, and has given to the
public a long account of what is done by
them. From his account we copy the fol-
lowing:
zone of the the compliments ofthe heaven
ly outfit is half dozen pair of tights-hesh-
ings that would delight the eye Of the front
row baldhead. These tights do not hang
in the retirement of the wardrobe; they are
in constant use, and in fact are almost worn
out. Every week-sometimes twice week
they are donned by the "angels" and pa
raded before the admiring and exultant
gaze of the pretender, and the no less adj
humble and passionless apostles. Tableaux
give ample opportunity for this display OF
female form. Some of these are biblical in
character, others are historic, while not a
few are Schweinforthian."
If appearing in tights before the male
members of the gang, and representing
statues, does not constitute leg show, then
we do not know what leg show is. That
is about the way we have seen them at the
Opera House, at comic operas and Ada Ray
exhibitions.

Board of Education.

The regular meeting of the Board of Ed
ucation took place at the Recorders Office
last Wednesday evening. There were pre-.
sent the President, Secretary, and members
Wittelshofer, Cunningham, Bedford and
Muellerweiss.
The question of taking into consideration
the erection of school building at Camp
bellville was laid over until the next regular
meeting.
The city Surveyor reported that the num-
Der of square yards to be sodded on the
Central school grounds was 1857.
Bills to the amount of $147.7S were al
lowed.
j. r. Beach was given the contract for
sodding the grounds about the Central
school, at ten cents per square yard.
The meetings of the Board during July
and August are to be held at the Central
school building.
The purchasing agent was instructed to as
certaining what it would cost to put a tel
ephone in the Central school building.
1t was ordered that the public library be
kept open Monday and Wednesday after
moons, and all day Saturday, during the
summer vacation.

There was a meeting of the various
Fourth of July committees at the Council
Room last Monday evening. The solicit
Ing committee reported that &493.50 had
been subscribed for celebrating. The
amusement committee presented an out
line Of the games they had decided upon.
The invitation committee was merged
with that committee, and 1t was given full
authority to make arrangements for
amusements and invitations. The other
committees reported the amount Of money
they would need, and after thorough
discussion Of the question, it was decided
to allow the various committees $3.50.
OF that amount nearly $500 has already
been subscribed, leaving $3.50 yet to be
collected. The Germania band asked
300 for their services during the day.
The amount yet needed will have to come
partly from subscriptions and partly from
gate receipts at the fair grounds. There
will be grand street procession, and from
present indications it Is evident that the
Fourth will be celebrated in first class
style In Alpena. The fireworks COM
mittes have been allowed a very liberal
appropriation, and it Is the intention to
make good and attractive display, in
Guiding many novelties.

A comedy comnany. Oh. What a

A comedy company, Oh, What Night
appeared at the Opera House last Sat-
erday, to an audience that filled the
house. It was the first appearance Of
the company here, and 1t proved to be
one Of the best amusement creators that
has been In the city. They gave general
satisfaction.
With the company were several come
dams who rank with the best, as creators
Of laughter. They were q. A. Loder, In
q Dutch character G. E. Edwards, as an
Irishmen; Billy Clifford, as negro, and
w. A. Ashley, who appeared as "Alex-
ander Gridley." The dancing and songs
OF the Misses Leigh were excellent, and
those ladies soon became favorites. Their
dancing illusion act was not only very in
teresting, but great novelty, and the
dance and skipping the rope act was a
fine exhibition Of grace and ability.
The company is good one. They keep
the audience in roars Of laughter; their
specialties are we'll done, and the specta-
tor cannot help being pleased. Itabounds
in fun, laughable scenes, pretty dances,
gay and lively songs, and an evening
spent with them is one full Of enjoyment.

Council Makes New Appropriations.

At meeting of the Common Council
held May 23d, 1892, the aldermen decided
to raise $57, 900 by taxation for city pur-
poses. That amount did not include the
appropriations for streets and schools,
but did include an appropriation of $20,.
900 for redeeming old orders.
The new charter provides that sum not
to exceed one per cent. of the valuation Of
real and personal property Of the city for
the preceding year, shall be raised by tax
for city purposes. The amount that the
city could lawfully raise the present year,
for city purpose, was 1000 and $1,000
for payment of bonds. 1t was thus evident
the Council had exceeded their authority,
as tax roll based on their appropriations
would have been unlawful, and the taxes
could not have been collected by law.
To remedy the defect, the Council held
special meeting last Friday evening, and
made new appropriations, the total amount
of which was $S4,700a reduction of $500
as compared with the May appropriation.
The charter also allows one per cent
tax for school purpose, and three-quarters
of one per cent for streets.

over the island. A wrecking tug came
to her assistance, and by means Of
hydraulic Jacks the stranded vessel was
lifted OF the rocks into deep water. It
was fortunate for her that the weather
was mild while she was on the beach
One severe storm would have broke her
to pieces. The Colorado went on the

The boom company men finished the
channel through thelog jam, at the rapids,
last Thursday. The river, at that point,
is mass of logs for at least three miles,
and channel had to be made through the
big jam before logs owned by GER
tain mill firms could be reached by the
boom company and foated to the mills.
A large majority Of the logs on the rapids
have been there about two years. Until
channel had been made through the
jam, several mill firms could not get their
logs as fast as they desired, and shutdowns
were frequent.
