to make a note Of this.
As proof OF the fact that Milan /,
rapidly coming to the front as a grain
market, we will state that during the
year just closed there were 80 cars
more wheat shipped than in any pre-.
viOus year of her history. For the
four months ending November 30
1892, there was shipped from this
point a total of l76 cars of wheat
alone, saying nothing about the ship
ments OF other cereals. This is Ger.
tainly a good showing for our town
and speaks well for the enterprise OF
our grain buyers.
Mr.. and Mrs. Z. r. Ash. living
southeast Of this city, now have at
their home an adopted son. whose
parents are unknown. He arrived
during the holidays in a very myster-
iOns manner. He has beautiful dark
hair and expressive brown eyes, and
is indeed very fine looking. lively
little fellow. He has a melOdiOus
falsetto voice and remarkably good
pair Of lungs, which he uses a good
part of the time. Mr.. Ash can now
be heard at all hours of the night
singing lullabies to his adopted son.
He makes a very kind and indulgent
father.

South Haven New Era.

Carey Tilbury is one of the farmers
IN this vicinity who has firm faith in
alfalfa as a profitable crop for this
country; and is proving his faith by
his works. He now has patch of it
growing on his place and intends SOW
ing more, and will send an order fOr
several bushels of seed for himself
and neighbOrs in few days to a reli-
able alfalfa raiser in the western part
OF the state. At the present rapid
rate at which the native grass pas
lures are being taken by weeds it is
only a matter of a very short time
until alfalfa or some other tame grass
will have to take its place. 1t really
seems the part of wisdom for Our
farmers to try and have at least a
small acreage seeded down to tame
grass before that time arrives. One
acre of alfalfa is worth two of wild
grass.

FEBRUARY 10.
Are You Going to the Worlds Fair?
If so, This will Interest You.

~ oOi ihio VIII iultl CSl Il Uu.
The VOICE recently called the at
tentiOn Of the people to the plan
which Superintendent Mclaughlin is
advocating for all who wish to attend
this great event and avoid the extOr-
tiOnS that inevitably result from the
gathering of such immense throngs.
One who expects to 60 is foolish to
procrastinate in engaging his quar-
ters. 1t only requires a deposit of
Sl.OO for each week one expects to
spend there and this money is kept
in Wellington, under the control of
Superintendent Mclaughlin until he
goes to Chicago, selects his tent and
pays the balance. This association
was formed by the editor of the Amer
lean Journal of Education, for the
benefit largely of school teachers, and
is backed by prominent educators.
The price for entertainment is only
$3.50 per week, the S1.OO deposit being
included in this amount, but the
rapidity with which the tents are be-
ing taken has induced the company
to announce that after February 10
the rate will be raised to $500, and
other advances will perhaps be made
later on. Hence those who take hold
at once will ''get in on the ground
floor" Those intending to go should
make it a point to register with Su-
perintendent Mclaughlin at once.
The Encampment is located in the
city of Chicago, on the Illinois Gen.
tral railroad, at Stewart Avenue Sta
tiOn, in West Pullman-an attractive
residence locality recently improved
and opened. The grounds are ex-
tremely beautiful. A gently undula-
ting surface, high and dry, perfect
drainage, sandy soil, at an elevation
of forty feet above Lake Michigan.
partially covered by natural forest
trees, and all laid out in regular
blocks, with macadamized streets and
Portland Cement sidewalks. city sys-
TEN of sewerage, an abundant supply
of city lake water and lighted by
electricity.
The Illinois Central railway and an
electric street railway provide direct,
frequent and abundant transporta-
tiOn between the encampment grounds
and the Worlds Fair. Car fare only
five cents each way by the electric
cars and probably the same by steam
cars. Time to the Fair grounds,
about fifteen minutes. In point of
time and expense, the encampment is
nearer the Worlds Fair than the CEN
ter of the city of Chicago. These
trains also make direct connections
with elevated railways. cable and
electric systems to all parts of the
city.
Waterproof compartment tents of
the best canvas. of three to six rooms
each, will be placed on the grounds at
convenient distances apart. with
streets and walks for each row of
tents. Tents will be placed on good
matched lumber floors and will be ar
ranged and equipped 50 as to make

POLICE COURT.

It was 9:l5 O'Clock yesterday morning

seat on the bench in the police court and
called the docket.
The first case called was that of John
Smith, charged with being drunk. John
admitted that be had im bibed the ardent.
and perhaps too freely, but thought that
oughtn't to be considered any great crime
and that Officer Dadisman ought TO have
passed it by unnoticed. He WAS fined $
and sent out to keep Mr.. Burke company
till his fine is worked out.
Dan O'Leary, a typical Irishman OF ma
ture years, was certainly old enough to
avoid the wine when it was red. II said:
"Yis, yoor honor, I was drunk" He was
sent below in default of IS fine,
A bright, youthful looking man answer
ing to the euphonious name OF kid
Hanna repealed with scorn the charge
that he was drunk, aud was given till I
O'Clock to prepare his defense. At that
hour be was brought up to face justice,
Attorney Wyatt, Officer DaGisman and
several other persons. He had for his
witness another young man, the partaker
of his joys and SORROWS Monday evening
This witness testified that the Kid was
not drunk. but Officer Dadisman insisted
that be was, and be suffered the usual
fate of the men who fall into the hands Of
the preservers OF the peace. His fiae was
fixed at s., and he went below stairs.
