The Boy and the Boss.

The boy came briskly into the Of

boss.

Where there's as little work and
as much pay as the house can stand.
"Um, most boys when they como

in his mind said ''In," and the boy
went in with will.

About six months ago my little son, aged
three, was very much troubled with breaking
out on his scalp and behind his ear. The places
effected were about as large as a silver dollar,
the flesh seemed raw and covered with little
blisters. The child suffered considerably, and
was naturally very fretful. Itried several RENE
dies without obtaining any beneficial results,
in fact the eruptions seemed to be spreading
and new places breaking out. ] concluded
to try the CUTICURA REMEDIES, and bought
box of CUTIcURA, cake of CUTICURA SOAP,

the effected parts with the CUTICURA SOAP,

the appearance of the eruptions in twenty-four

WHY

Mckinley went to the wall when his
own vicious bill was in full operation
and long before the Democrats came
into power. His was one of the most
conspicuous business failures of the de.
cade. He engineered through Con.
gress q bill which he now claims gave
the people all of the prosperity that
they enjoyed while it was in force
but which was not responsible for the
innumerable calamities that came
upon them during the same period
One of the first victims of this benefi.
cent law was Mckinley himself The
second notable victim was Charles
Foster, also of Ohio, who was at the
time secretary of the treasury.
IF McKinley's law was such bless
ing how is it that Mckinley and Fos-
ter both became bankrupt under itl
How is it that the lawgiver and the
finance minister of the Harrison ad-
ministration went on the rocks as soon
as that law was we'll in operation2--
They cannot assert that fear" of the
Democrats brought about their ruin,
for they went to pieces long before the
election and at the time when, accord
ing to Mckinley, the country was on
the high tide of prosperity. How did
it come to pass that a man 80 capable
of bestowing the choicest blessings on
everybody else went up the spout
himself and had to appeal to various
rich men to take up a subscription to
pay his debts?

Hon. w. L. Churchill for Congress.

Voting for Hon. w. l.. Churchill fol
member Of Congress, should not be po-
litioal question as to the voters Of Alpe.
ma. 1t is a question that concerns their
own interests, because II is a fact that
his election will prove Of benefit to the
city and county, and what benefits Alpena
must certainly benefit the inhabitants.
1t is, therefore, the duty OF man
who has the welfare of his family and
county at heart, to do all In his power to
elect Mr.. Churchill. And, as we said In
former issue:
For the first time In the history Of Al
pena she has been honored by having one
Of her citizens selected as nominee for
the important ONCE OF Congressman, the
man chosen being Hon. w. l.. Churchill,
one of her hest citizens, and O man who
Is devotedly attached to the city that has
been his home for many years.
II is an honor that should be appreciat-
cd by the people Of Alpena, irrespective
Of politics, and we are Of the opinion that
his majority In this county will DO large
one. In fact It rests with tho people of
Apena as to whether their city shall be
represented In Congress by o fellow
townsman, one that every resident Of Al
pena knows will favor any project that
will benefit this county.
While Mr.. Churchill can be relied up
on to do all In his power to assist Alpena,
yet tho other portions OF the Tenth dis
trict may rest assured their interests will
receive his hearty support.
There Is q bill already introduced In
Congress to provide for a government
building in this city, for postofflce, Gus
tom house and weather Office. and Alpe-
ma people must certainly DO aware that
Mr.. Churchill will take more interest In
getting the bill passed than would his OPP
ponent.
The Alpena citizen who votes for Mr..
Churchill therefore votes for his own In
terests, and the election Of Mr.. Churchill
TO Congress Is of more Importance TO Al
pena than the success OF either Of the po-
litical parties.
Alpena Is In condition where every
opportunity to aid the county must be

PROOF OF THE AWARD.
To DR.. Prices Cream Baking Powder
at the Fair.

To DR.. Prices Cream Baking Powder
at the Fair.
An envious New York competitor, who
tries to sell inferior goods by labelling
them absolutely pure" seeks to belittle
the award Of highest honors toDr. Prices
Cream Baking Powder at the Worlds
Columbian Exposition by denying that
such honors were conferred.
The award to DIR. Prices is proved by
the official records.
Chief Of Awards j. s. Browning writes:
"The records Of this department (agricul-
ture) show that the executive committee
on awards officially announced some time
ago that an award had been granted the
Price Baking Powder Company on it's ex-
hibit of baking powder"
The Hon. John Boyd Thacher, chair
man OF the executive committee on awards
also writes under date of Feb. IA, 1894:
81 herewith enclose you an official copy
Of your award, which in due time will be
inscribed In the diploma and forwarded"
Why did the New York competitor not
exhibit? Was 1t because his powder con-
tanned ammonia?
The award to DIR. Prices was for
strength, purity and general excellence.

American Lumber for Canada

Last week we made mention Of the sale
Of 100000 feet of lumber by Bay City
parties to Piggott & Sons, Of Windsor.
Mr.. Piggott has been interviewed on the
subject and his theory does not seem to
indicate that there is much cause for Ca
lamity organs to do much bowling. He
says:
~ purchased from that firm tho amount
Of lumber stated, and am more than sat
isfed with the deal. Heretofore l have
got all my lumber from the Canadian
mills on the Georgian bay, but as the du-
ty has been taken off thought I could do
better In Michigan, and find that can.
The reason for this Is that at the last
session of the Canadian parliament the
20 per cent duty on lumber was removed
on condition that the American tariff was
taken off, This has been done, and we
now have free trade In lumber. In my
opinion this will be a splendid thing for
both countries, as we dealers can now buy
either logs or lumber In the cheapest
market and sell In the dearest"

A great deal has been said by Republl-
cans In regard to the damage they say
the tariff bill will do this vicinity, but
they do not speak Of what vast amount
Of good the removal Of the tariff on lum-
Der will be to Alpena. II the mills In
this city are to be run In the future, and
hundreds Of men furnished employment In
the manufacture Of lumber, 1t can only
be done by importing logs from Canada.
Without Canadian logs most of the AL
pena lumber mills will be closed forever.
II the tax had been maintained on Cana
dian lumber, that country would have
placed an export duty sufficiently large to
prevent Canadian logs being brought to
Alpena, and the saving OF lumber in this
city from pine would soon terminate, as
our pine is nearly gone. These are facts,
and free trade in lumber has been the
means whereby the Alpena lumber mills
will be kept busy for years.

measure. and that with enfranchisement
from tariff slavery, the United States
would become, not the industrial vassals
