evening party was organized to
search for Fitzgerald. At II o'clock
at night the shouts of the searchers

Lapeer Gets the State Home for Feeble
Minded.-Aid roi the Starving Miners.
The NJ. a. C. Dairy Course.

The commission to select a site for a
state home for the feeble minded met
at Lansing after having viewed a num-
Der of places The commission is com
posed of Gov Rich; l.. A. Sherman, of
Port Huron; Hon. Cyrus G.. Luce, of
Coldwater. and Hon. j. G. Sharp, of
jackson. Delegates were present at
the meeting from Alma, Greenville,
Hudson, Lapeer and Saginaw. The
latter's claims were strongly urged, it
being contended that the valley was
without a single state institution, but
it was thought by members of uke com
mission that the water supply was not
of the right quality, which was an in
surmountable objection. Nearly the
entire afternoon was consumed in lis
tening TO the arguments.
A ballot was finally taken TO deter
mine the views of the commission.
ENGov. Luce voted for Greenville,
Sharp for Saginaw and Sherman for La
peer. On the second ballot Mr.. Luce
voted with Sherman in favor of Lapeer,
but Sharp stood by Saginaw. The lat
ter, however, when the odds were
against him, consented to the Lapeer
site being selected upon condition that
the stream of water flowing through
the city should be found to be sutli-
ciert to accommodate the sewage of the
institution, and there the matter
stands. If the stream is too small or
if there is liable TO be an injunction
served restraining the state from using
the stream for sewage, the home will
doubtless go TO Greenville.
Lapeer gives the state 1G0 acres of
land, upon which there is a fine grove
of Is acres, and an option on 562 acres
until 1899, at price not TO exceed $50
an acre. Ii Furthermore agrees to put
in water mains and supply the home
with water for five years free of
charge.

Aid tor Starving Miners.

Tie call issued by Gov. Rich asking
the people of Michigan to contribute
to the starving people of the upper
peninsula has had the desired effect.
Carload after carload of food and
clothing has been pouring in and De-
troit citizens have raised over So, 900 in
cash. But this fact should not deter
the more fortunate people from con-
tinuing to send aid as what has al
ready been given and pledged will only
relieve for the time being and a long
winter is scarcely begun. With this
thought in view Gen. Alger heads
Detroit's list with a cash gift of $500
every month and several others follow
with pledges of 500, or $50, or as they
can afford. Michigan has never yet
failed to respond to the cry of the
needing and suffering and will not
begin now.
That the generosity of the citi-
zens of the state is appreciated
is evinced by a set of resolutions
adopted at a mass meeting at Bessemer,
which returned the hearty thanks of
the citizens of that community for the
prompt aid rendered then.

A Late steamer Goes Ashore.

The steamer f. w. Wheeler, coal
laden from Buffalo to Chicago, went
ashore three miles east of Michigan
City at a. IN. At first the life-saving
crew went to her, but the captain de-
clined assistance and sent for men to
iettison the cargo. The boat was ly-
ing easy on sandy bottom and in no
danger, but the wind shifted and blew
II gale. The crew of the Wheeler
signalled for the life-savIng crew to
take them off. The sea was washing
clear over the boat. The lifc-saving
crew launched their boat off the ice
banks which lined the shore, and made
two trips landing them all in safety.
The Wheeler was loaded with ., 100
tons of coal. She was commanded by
Captain George n. Trotter and owned
