body and every class this year." said a
well known broker today, land non
more than the railroads. People who
usually spend summers travelling around
the various sum u'er resorts stsid at home
last summer and those who went counted
every penny expended. A significant
event in connection with the railroad
situation OF New Engla d is the passing
OF it's dividends by the Mt. Washington
railroad. This road usually carries
about 100 passengers in August,

humbly reposes in OK Grove cemetery.
No expression OF regret followed 1t
as it was slowly conveyed from

the citizens OF Pawtucket havs not re-
garded 1t with favorable eyes. 1t was re-
moved at the fat OF the Paw tucket city

The mining school at Houghton still
leads all others in the number of
students. According to Director
Wadsworth's eport the present enroll
ment is o.. Lehigh university comes
next with GA. The o. students come
from 10 states and foreign
countries. Michigan has 81. The re.
quirements for graduation are very
strict, and it is probable that several
students who were in line to graduate
three years ago will not get through.
Since September, 1890, 81 students
have been dismissed for various reasons.
Next September new rules will go into
force, requiring four years instead OF
three for graduation. DR.. Wadsworth
thinks the school can never attain to
the greatest excellence until it is re,
moved entirely from the sphere of poll
tics.

They Favor L'AnSe.
327 East 10th st.

The Legislature of Michigan. the
governor Of he state concurring, has
kindly elected to allow the Upper Pc
ninsula an insane asylum. just where
it is to be located is not settled, and
consequently all of the Upper Peninsu-
la cities have their eye on it. Mar
quette is of course in the race, but is
handicapped by already having one
state institution ut that point, and also
by the feeling in the other large towns
of the peninsula that Marquette is in
clined to get both feet in the trough
whenever an opportunity offers. Me-
nominee claims to have q sinch on it,
and L'Anse sets forth the advantages
of its location and climate in an effort
to divert the asylum to the head of
Keweenaw bay. Other towns are af-
ter it as well, not forgetting Escanaba,
and there is prospect of II lively
"scrap" before the location is decided
on.
One thing can be set down as certain,
and that is that Ishpeming is not n
candidate for the asylum. This may
seem strange, but there is good reason
for it.
The state expects donation of 400
or more acres of land for location
from the city securing the asylum, and
there is no 400 acre tract of land in
IsHpeming that can be donated to the
state. Just mark Ishpeming off the
slate as a candidate, and give our vote
to L'Anse-the most central location
of the many sites suggested. -Ishpem-
ing Record.

The History Of a Case.

The celebrated case of tina People VS..
Pat Clark for assault and battery, on
complaint Of William Irvine, came to n
termination last Wednesday in the ac-
quittal of Clark by d jury. All day
Tuesday was consumed in trying 10 get
jury, and in the progress of the case
from first to last nearly every man in
town had been summoned as juror
only to be excused on account of hay
ing formed an opinion. Finally jury
con listing of six non-residents of the
village was procured, and the trial pro-
eeeded with the above result.
The history of this case is somewhat
interesting. Clark has been engaged
in The saloo business ut Nestoria for
several years. During two years he
has paid no tax although keeping just
as openly and VIGOROUSLY as anyone
engaged in the business. A year ago
the township board passed resolution
requesting the sheriff and prosecuting
attorney to either close the saloon or
collect the tax. The sheriff refused to
act unless complaint was made or Il
warrant issued.
Thus matters stood until this spring
when George I'll. Schoneweg was APP
pointed deputy sheriff for that portion
of the county and he proceeded to get
evidence upon which to commence pro-
ceedings against Clark. To accom-
plisll this he took with him this VIM.
Irvine to Nestoria where they both
bought beer and liquor at both Clark's
and Nichols saloons. They then came
to L'Anse and lodged complaints
against Clark and Nichols before Judge
Mason.
Both Clark and Nichols were arrest
ed and brought to L'Ause on the
evening train, and after arriving went
into Crocker's saloon with the officers.
While they were in there Irvine passed
by and Nichols called him in to take
glass Of beer. While standing at the
bar Clark hit Irvine in the face with
beer glass, cutting an ugly cash. For
this Clark was arrested for assault and
battery, and, after one trial in which the
jury disagreed, the case terminated
with The second jury this, week as above
stated.

ACCURACY IN NEWSPAPERS.

Absolute accuracy is not attainable
by the press or any other human being.
The fault one so often hears found with
the newspapers that no one finds any
thing accurately told in them of which
he has himself personal knowledge at
first hand, is an unreasonable fault,
because it is the fault of the human
senses. Nobody is more accurate, other
things being equal, than an honest and
and careful reporter in describing what
he has seen, owing to the ineradicable
defects of eyes and ears and Judgment
History is as full of misstatements as any
good newspaper.-Evening Post.

THE U. p. ASYLUM.

One thing may he put down as GER
tain: Ii the Upper Peninsula asylum
is not located at L'Anse it will be no
fault OF the business mems association.
They have selected site that cannot
be equaled on the lake. and have enter
ed into negotiations with the owners for
the land. II is pretty difficult mat
ter to get 400 acres of land in body
that is desirably located for such an
institution at price within the reach
of community like this. We can't
do much "hollering" until we know
whether we are going to get the land.

EDITOR SENTINEL.
Dear Sr:--
promised to write you about the
climate and agricultural resources OF
OF this part of the country. The eli
mate is fine; the temperature rarely
falls as low rs 10 degrees Fahrenheit
and as rarely rises to 100. The hottest
l have seen it yet is "a. The nights
are always cool and person can sleep
with covers on. There is one peculiari-
ty about the heat here--it does not
weaken a person the way it does up
north. We have habit from 90 to "a for
the last week AMI the old settlers are
complaining about the heat. We 10 not
have any severe or sudden changes in
IN the temperature here. The farmers
can pillow. almost all winter and can
raise two crops of everything but cot
ton and fruits. Nearly all the farmers
with whom / have conversed do not
know how to raise anything but cotton
and corn.
The land does not yield ias well as it
used to because these farmers do not
manure their lands. The land will
hold fertilizers first rate. l have seen
small gardens that have been brought
up to a high state of cultivation and !
never saw better crops anywhere. 1
have seen no farm machinery ut work
here-eyerything is done in the
primitive style of our grandfathers
with small pillow. hoe and the negro.
This would be fine country for hay.
They can raise from one to four tons
per acre and two crops year. Irish
potatoes from 200 to 300 bushels per
acre. They can raise two crops of
potatoes, or one of oats and one of
potatoes on the same piece of land.
