Quite heavy wind storm prevailed

A good game is expected.
Mr.. J. G. Real h as been confined to the
house most OF the time for couple OF
weeks from illness caused by sunstroke
while out to his homestead few weeks
ago. His many friends hope to see him
out again and all right ere long.
There was an eXodusting of soiled
doves, the other day, from the ranch at
the head of the bay, and five Of the afore-
said S. DIS HE'D themselves to Sidnaw.
Their actions and language while wait
ing at the depot for the train to carry
them hence attracted considerable atteD-
ton, and were such that other people
nav is welcome to this acquisition to its
population.
1t would seem that our townsman, Dan
McMullen, is having more than his share
of afllction to which humanity is SUBJ
ject. There are now four or five eases
of typhoid fever in his family, his wife
being one of the sufferers, and although
the disease has not developed any alarm
ing symptoms in any of the cases, those
who have had the care of patients afflicted
with this disease can realize the ever
present dangers accompanying 1t and the
great care required to bring the patient
safely through. 1t is to be hoped that
each and all will be convalescent soon.
The writer had the pleasure OF going
through the hardware and furniture
stores of Mr.. Hugh Nesbitt, the other
day, and was somewhat surprised al the
amount and variety of goods carried in
stock. The fact is 1t would be q hard
matter to name any article in the line Of
heavy and shelf hardwar and furniture
that he does not keep in stock, and in
addition he carries quite line OF build
ing materials such as glazed sash, doors,
maple flooring, lime, cement. brick, ada
mant, etc. The maple flooring kept by
him Is the KimbalPs Eclipse, which Is
an improvement over the old style in
that 1t has a wedged groove by which
also has grooves cut on the under side to
prevent soaking aud warping after being
laid. Mr.. Nesott has been very success
full in business here and he has deserved
it because he is both enterprising and
fair and square in his dealings.
Two weeks ago the SENTINEL stated
asian item of news that there were Is
cases OF typhoid fever in Baraga, caused
from the impurewatsr. Thiswas not strict
ly correct. While there are many cases
of fever popularity termed typhoid fever,
DR.. Turner Informs us that in his prac-
tice there are but four or five cases Of true
typhoid; and DIR. Law says that has none
at all. The most important fact, howev-
err, that the water Is unfit for domestic
use until 1t has been thoroughly
boiled has been demonstrated from
two analyses made at Ann Arbor
the past week. Two samples Of water
were taken, one from the short intake
pipe and one from the long intake. In
making the test for typhoid germs the
water from the short intake killed 100 per
cent Of the rats into which 1t was inject
ed, while that from the long intake kill
ed SO per cent, showing conclusively
that both samples are strongly impreg
mated with typhoid germs.
Tuesday was Pythian day in Baraga,
and is day taat will long be remem-
bered by many. Deputy Grand Chancel-
lor w. b. Hoar, Of Houghton, instituted
thu new Pythlan lodge which was organ
lied here about three weeks ago. At a
little after seven o'clock that evening.
the tug Valeria arrived at the Nester
dock bearing delegations Of knights from
the following lodges: Calumet, Lake
Linden, Hancock and Houghton, thifty-
nine In all. They were met by COM
mittee from the new lodge and the
Baraga brass band, and were escorted to
the the town hall, where the work o.

ter the arrival ef the Copper Country

one candidates were giveo a chance to
ride the traditional goat and every one Of
them proved himself worthy Of the
golden spurs. In addition to the lodges
mentioned above there were repre- senta
