The Maccabees in this city are at
work trying to make arrangements
to erect a hall of their own, and for
that purpose have held several
meetings. The plan is to have
1000 shares subscribed for, the
value Of each being $40. Two dol
lars per share are to be paid at the
commencement, and fifty cents
every month thereafter until the re-
quired sum is raised, or ten dollars
paid on each share. The two lots,
where the Central hotel and livery
stable are located, on Lockwood
street, have been offered the society
for $4,000, but no decision has yet
been agreed upon as to where the
new hall will be. The members of
the X. o. T. M. are being solicited
to take one or more shares. In
erecting a building of their own,
the K. o. T. M. will do wise act,
and the rent they now pay will
amount in a few years to what the
proposed hall would cost.

At the last meeting of the Board
of Education a bill for night SER
vices of janitor was presented, and
payment very properly refused.
The history of the case is that:
Last October the board passed a
resolution to the effect that Prof.
Root should be given $50 for SER
vices as teacher of class to be held
three evenings of the week during
the winter, and that a tuition of
five dollars was to be charged each
pupil for the term. The board fur
nished the school room, but the
teacher was allowed to retain the
fees. The evening school is pat
ronized by about 20 scholars. I'm
der these circumstances the board
allowed that it was Prof. Root who
should pay the janitor's services,
and not ask the taxpayers to bear
the expense, as the entire receipts,
in addition to $50 and a free room,
90 to the teacher.

Owen Fox has force of men at
work arranging the corner store in
the Culligan block for the new AL
pena County Savings Bank, and it is
expected the bank will be open for
business by April lst The founda-
ton for the vault has been laid, and

from the bottom of the cellar to a
level with the floor Of the store. On
that foundation will be erected the

The entire front of the building

A. r. Mckenzie in Trouble.

A. r. Mckenzie, who owned a
grocery store in the McRae block,
Dock street, was taken to Bay City
and examined by the United States
commissioner McMath, charged
with violating the U. s. revenue
laws in regard to selling oleomar-
garine without stamping and mark
ing the same as provided by law.
Deputy collector Mccormack
testified that he had been informed
that Mckenzie was violating the
law, and that he was selling oleo-
margarine in lots of more than ten
pounds each.
Anthony Glencke and Julian
Gross, who had been employed in
McKenzie's store as clerks, testified
that their employer had ordered
them to sell oleomargarine as but
ter, and they had done so. The
latter also said lots weighing over
ten pounds in one package had been
sold.
Mr.. Mckenzie pleaded not guilty,
claimed the charge had originated
from persons who desired to do him
IN injury, and asked for continu-
ance OF the case so that he could
produce witnesses for his defense,
and the request was granted, but a
bond OF $500 was required and fur
nished. The commissioner said
sufficient evidence had been pro-
duced to warrant Mckenzie being
brought before the grand jury, and
if they found an Indictment the case
would go to the United States court.
He also stated that if the defendant
could not furnish testimony to Of
set that already presented, the
quicker he settled the case the bet
ter.
The penalty is fine of not less
than $50 or more than $500, with
costs of prosecution.

to hire a manager and professional
players. A series of games would
then be arranged to be played at

Max Jasspon, in addition to con-
Quoting clothing house in a pros
porous condition, is engaged extern
sively in numbering pine logs in
Pressure Isle county, and at last re-
port the men at his camp had got
some 1000 logs on skids. The tim.
Der will be put into the Oqueoc
river, and Mr.. Jasspon expects to
have between 100000 and 1900
600 feet of logs banked before the
winter comes to an end. A few
weeks ago he endeavored to sell the
logs to Alpena lumbermen, but
could not get satisfactory offer.
In the meantime Bay City lumber
men tried to purchase the logs with
the intention of towing them
to Bay City for manufacture,
and a bargain with a lumber
man in that city was almost closed
at satisfactory prices, and much
above what the mill owners of this
city had offered. Mr.. Jasspon is
more interested in Alpena than in
Bay City, and before the contract
was signed he made another at
tempt to sell the logs to people
here, and this time he was success
full, as the Minor Lumber Co. pur-
chased the entire lot at 1925 per
thousand for the white pine logs,
and $3.50 per thousand for the
Norway logs. The logs will be
towed to this city next summer and
be manufactured. Mr.. Jasspon has
also secured valuable tract of hem
lock and maple land in the same
county.
