straightforward, honest and fair dealing
that the subjects Of this sketch have
achieved During the year 1891 the firm
of g. I. Harris Il CO., purchased the drug,
store known as the Norton Store, and now
has the only establishment of the kind in
the city and have the largest stock OF

senior member of the firm has had ten
years of experience in the business and is a
registered pharmacist and thorough drug
gist. They now occupy fine store build
ing 24xI0 feet, located opposite j. b.

drugs and sundries in the county. This
store has elegant fixtures, prescription
case, etc, and IN the shelves may be seen
many useful aud necessary articles that
men must have in this world. In the FIRST
place, as we enter there is a brightness
about the place that puts us in good hu.
NOR at once We notice clean floor,
with a chair here and there for weary pa
irons to rest while making purchases.

make your eyes snap. The line of station
cry includes paper for all business, from

Among all the names that find a place
in the list of en- erprsing citizens who have
helped to make Baraga county what she
is, who have assisted in bringing to her
doors all that graces her threshold, none
stands higher than that of Mr.. r. X. Will
liams, who came to the county 20 years
ago and is one of its pioneers He first
opened up n slate quarry at Arvon, which
operated for several years, and moved to

is 24x60 in size and is owned 10y Mr.. Will
liams, Sr. The goods kept are all selected
with care and with view Of having moth
ing but rst-class articles to sell, while the
prices charged are evidence of good goods
bought by business men who understand
their business. This is one of the reasons
they enjoy large and constantly increas-
ing trade from all parts of Baraga and ad-
joining counties. Another reason for the
success of this popular house, lies no doubt
in the fact that the proprietors appreciate
good business and treat all who deal
there with courtesy and fair dealing as a
merit and receive the praise of their many
customers from all parts of the county.
They keep all kinds of shelf and builders
hardware, carpenter tools, garden tools,
etc. and the large room is completely
filed. In addition to all this they have a
full line of all the leading
Cook stoves
and heaters, among which we noticed the
Peninsula heating stoves, the very best
stove for heating purposes manufactured
in the United States today, and everybody
who has used one of them will substantiate
our assertion
In connection with their stock OF hard
ware they also handle mixed paints, barb
wire. pumps, wind mills, wire fencing, oils,
lumbermen's supplies and in fact every
thing usually KEEP: in a first-class hardware
store, including guns, ammunition and all
kinds of sporting goods except dogs.)

A COAL WAR Is ON.
Usage County Operators and the
Santa F1e
BRING THE PRICE DOWN GREATLY

ny Unheard OF Isates-TOpeI<a People
Greatly Benefited by the Wnr.
There is a soft coal war in progress in
Topeka on account of a fight between
the small operators in the Osage coal
fields and the Usage Carbon company.
The Usage Carbon company (the Santa
Fe) has taken hand in the fight and the
small operators are clearly outclassed.
Since the starvation period at Scranton
and Usage City last spring very large
number of the miners have left the
Usage district many of them going to
Toluca, ILL.,, where the Santa Fe company
is now working its big mines.
The small operators were afraid there
would not be enough men left in the
district to work their property this win
ter, unless they did something to force
business.
They accordingly made cut in rates,
first of % cents ton, and then of 80
cents a ton. This cut gave them bust
ness for u few days until the Usage Car
bon company met the cut and made a
still lower rate by offering to sell coal on
the tracks at Topeka at the cost of pro-
ductiOn at the mines.
The result of this is the Carbon COM
pany is getting the business, and the
coal which has been taken from the
mines of the big company during the
summer months is now being pushed on
the local market at an exceedingly low
rata

started last evening by practice of two
local teams. The Washburn eleven has
gone into active training and last night
the candidates reported at the grounds
for practice. The Topeka team held its
first practice in the state house square.

awhile and then the two elevens lined up
against each other and played for ten

Bitton by an Insect He Has Terrible
Attack of Blood Poisoning.
o. J. Hit, who lives at the corner of
Seventh aud Tyler streets, has had a
narrow escape from death.
Two or three days ago Mr.. Hit was
cleaning rubbish out of the cellar when
he was bitten between the first and
second finger of his left hand by some
insect. The bite was not painful and he
paid little attention to it for two or three
hours, when his hand and arm began 10
swell. Soon his hand was twice the ma
tural size and he became deathly sick.
A doctor was called and the family
worked with him through one night and
part of the next day before he was con-
sidered out of danger.
He is now able to be around, but is
still very weak from the effect of the
poison. 1t is supposed that he was bit
ten by a spider.
