Wash Goods T!

1t may seem early to talk
of cotton dress goods, but
it is not too early to buy
them. The stocks are now
at their best, and many of
the choicest effects will be
sought in vain as the season
advances. The counters of
wash dress goods are towers
of beauty, we never had the
pleasure of showing a stock
so grand as the present, and
there certainly is nothing
like it in this city. Not a
yard was carried over from
last season. French mulls,
in floral and conventional
designs, French organdies,
printed nainsooks, swival
silk ginghams, French chal-
lies, French sateens, will be
strong this season, and de-
servedly so.

Outside parties are making in
quiries as to whether Alpena has
good brick clay adjacent to the
railway. About twenty years ago
Richard Nailor had a large brick
yard at his farm, short distance
outside the city limits, and many
thousand brick were manufactured
It was operated but season or two,
as the demand for brick was not
very extensive at that time. Since
then all the brick used i'm this city
have been imported. There Is a good
market in Alpena and the adjoin-
ing counties for brick, and a good
brick yard would prove paying
investment, as well as keeping q
large amount Of money at home.

The case of ID. Desjardins VS.. the
Thunder Bay River Boom Co. has
been decided by the Supreme Court
in favor of the boom company
Mr.. Desjardins' land, near the Ok
Bow, in this city, was flooded by
water from the river, and he COM
menced suit to recover damages
claiming the flood was caused by
the Trowbridge dam. The boom
company showed the flood was
caused by the spring freshet. The
case was tried some time ago in the
Alpena Circuit Court, and was de-
cided against Mr.. Desjardins. He
appealed to the Supreme Court, and
that tribunal affirmed the decision
of the Circuit Court.

menced on "a small scale, and works

Certain lands in this county were
sold to the State for taxes Of 1888
there being no other bidder. Since
the sale J. A. Widner decided to
buy the lands for the timber. He
made known his want to the Coun-
ty Treasurer and offered the amount
due for taxes ON the lands, which
were checked to him, but no deed was
made out, as the Treasurer had nc
time to do so then. Since that
event the original owner of the
lands, Thos. Collins, paid the de-
linquent taxes and redeemed the
lands, and Mr.. Widner has petition.
ed the Supreme Court for an order
to compel the County Treasurer tc
give him the deed of the lands as
promised.

in good condition, and is not in

large steamers to J. G.. and f. w
Gilchrist. The vessels are the City
of Genoa and City of Naples, and
the price paid for the two steamers
was $2S0,00O. The crafts We're

engines, steam windlass and steam
steering gear, and are regarded as
the fastest wooden vessels afloat.

prove a success it is probable that a
large amount of the stone will be
quarried in this city and shipped
to Iosco county for making lime,
and will give employment to con-
siderable labor here. In the past
the losco lime men have imported
the limestone they used from Kel-
ley's Island, in Lake Erie. The
Detroit, Bay City & Alpena railroad
have given very reasonable rate
for car loads of stone from this
city to Tawas, and the money that
used to be sent to Kelley's Island
will come to this city, as well as
giving the railroad more business.
The stone exporting industry of
Mr.. Fox has been large one this
winter.

G. r. Vending delivered his lee
ture, "The Man of Galillee," at the
Opera House, last Thursday evening,
being the fourth entertainment of
the Y. M. C. A. star course. In
discussing the life, mission and
character of the Savior, he did not do
so i'll religious sense, but took the
same course person would take in
regard to analysing a man. He
showed how UNNECESSARILY was the
Savior to any human being, in his
actions, teachings and demeanor,
and proved beyond "a doubt his sup
eriority to any member of the hui
man race, either of the past or pres
ent. His character was without a
blemish, his love for humanity was
boundless; his record showed he
was free from indecision, from fear,
from anger, selfishness, and that
his chief characteristic was love for
fallen men and women, and his
whole doctrine that of making the
human race better. His doctrine
and teachings had been adopted all
over the world. The lecturer in
beautiful and logical language, drew
such fair and unblemished picture
of the Man of Galillee, and submit
ted such unimpeachable evidence to
suppOrt the claims he made. that
one could not help but believe that
Jesus of Nazareth was of divine
origin, for no man on earth has yet
shown such a record as that por-
trayed of the Savior by the eloquent
lecturer. Mr.. Vending is one
of the most pleasing and eloquent
orators who have appeared in this
city, and his audience was delight
ed at the intellectual feast he had
so beautifully prepared for them.

An interesting law case has re-
suited from dispute as to whom is
entitled to have possession of the
store Oh Second street, near the
ARGUS office. Bernard Kramer
occupied the store for several years
as a merchant tailor's establishment.
His lease extends until the latter
part of the present year. A few
weeks ago he was burned out and
the insurance agents acted as if they
considered the building total loss.
G. N. Blackburn, the owner, set
men to work to rebuild the store,
and has leased it to III. ii. Wittel-
shofer. Mr.. Kramer claims the
store until his lease expires, and his
claim not being recognized, he APP
piled to Judge Kelley for an in
junction to prevent other parties
from taking possession. The mat
ter is now in the hands of the
Court. If the decision is that the
building was a total loss, then there
is a liability for violation of the fire
ordinance by rebuilding the wooden
structure, and if it was only par
tial loss, then Mr.. Kramer's claim
seems good. The question is a COM
plicated one.
