One of the several changes involved
by the change of management of the
Register is that OF John D. WEIGH for
two years foreman of this office. who
now becomes foreman in the DEMO
Graf office. The personal and private
opinion of the writer hereof is that
John is the best all around country
printer that he ever knew. 1--WE don't
owe him anything but goodwilI.) He
will rustic business against us for an
editor and publisher who learned his
trade in our office Is years ago. We
would not have written this kind of
a local 20 years ago, but we are older
now and take pleasure in saying good
words for those we deem deserving,
even though they conduct an OPPOSE
tion business in our line. Life is but
a few years after all and why spend
them in jealousy, hatred and personal
greed. Register.
THE above is a deserved compliment
to Mr.. WeIch. We know that he is
one of the best newspaper men in the
west, and feel that the DEMOCRAT is
most fortunate in securing his services.
We have given the mechanical man
agement entirely into his charge
and knowing his thorough knowledge
OF job printing we have given him full
charge of that Department, with au-
thority to contract work and collect
accounts.

Miss Eugenia Novels and Mr.. Ben
iamin Osborne, Che first colored grad
yates of our schools, should feel proud
of their requirements, inasmuch as
they have reached point gained by
few of their race; but the advantages
of good common school education
are open to all alike, and we hope that
the example set by Miss Novels and
MIR. Osborne will be an inducement
to many of the colored youth of our
city to go and do likewise.
The debate between the Central
Normal college and the Sterling college
teams, at the NJ. E. church Tuesday
night, was decided in favor of the
visiting team, which took the negaa-
tive. The question was, Resolved,
That the Comparative System Should
be Abolished" When it came to the
rebuttal dispute arose as to the
order IN which the speakers came,
which spoiled, to some extent, the
enjoyment of The evening. Our COLI
lege folks think they GOT the worst
of it, but do not feel beaten.
Word reached town Tuesday after
noon that the house on the Frank
Krum farm, west of town, had burned,
with nearly all the contents. II took
fire on or near the roof from some
light fuel which was being used in
the stove. Mrs. Krum was at work
in the house and knew nothing Of
the danger until the roof was a mass
of flames. A man working in the
field gave the alarm. We understand
the house was insured for 500 and
contents 500, not near enough to
cover loss.
Charles Zutavern and Willis Bolin~
ger returned from their outing on
Tuesday night, on the Santa Fe.
They had break down on one of
their wheels at Lawrence, and so took
the train from there home. In the
twelve days that they were out they
had enough sport to last them some
time, and both came home greatly
pleased-saying the incest town they
have seen lately is Great Bend. They
ran across lots of Great Bend men on
the trip. Saw Joe Long at Wichita,
Ran Colt at Lawrence, Charley Nor
rison at Lamar, Mo, G.. L. Brinkman,
Edgar and Charley Evans, Fred
Wilmer, and Arch Caraway at Kan
sas City, and various others at Hutch
inson and other cities through which
they passed.
The lady minstrels played to a good
house for the second time in Great
Bend Tuesday evening. The jokes
were new and the sermon and cake
walk added greatly to the amuse-
ment. Some of the parts were much

number came up here to attend the
second time. We have heard only
praise from all sides, and have never
attended anything here that gave us
more enjoyment. By some oversight
the article prepared for last weeks

regret the omission very much. as
We would gladly have given them q
favorable write up. Their songs,
jokes, music, etc., were all refined
and mirth provoking. Our ladies
never do things by halves.

WHEN it comes right down TO ques-
ton of intelligence, perception ana
business qualifications, woman as far
outclasses man as an idiot does a popu-
list. One wrote to the postmaster at
Hiawatha asking for the address OF the
First National bank of that city
Newton Journal.
Yes, the new woman" is up to snuff.
One went to the postoffice the other
day and bought stamp, then asked
the clerk: ''Shall L stick this on my
self?" The clerk suggested that she
had ''better stick it on the letter. ="
THE new woman" wouldn't think
of asking for % cents worth of 2-cent
stamps, neither would she ask, lis
this the only postoffice in town?' or,
"How many penny postal cards do you
sell for nickle?" and when told that
live is the best we can do" say, 81
guess I'll see if l can't do better some
other place." and after investigating
the matter for half an hour and learn
ing that Uncle Sam has no competition,
return and buy single card. These
questions have been asked, not by the
"new woman" but by her more intelli
gent(?) brother, not a thousand miles
from here.-LoCAL ED.

BIG DRAIN FIGHT.
LAPEER AND ST. CLAIR COUNTIES ARE
ISTEREsTED.-THE PRoPosED DITcH
WILL BE TwENTY-FIVE MILES LONG.

LAPEER AND ST. CLAIR COUNTIES ARE
INTEREsTED.-THE PROPOSED DITcH
WILL BE TwENTY-FIvE MILES LONG.
A dispatch from I.apeer says:
"The big undertaking known as the
Mill Creek drain, commencing near
Inlay City. has been surveyed in the
eastern part of Lapeer county and st.
Clair county. 1t is ditch or canal about
80 feet wide and from 8 to 10 feet deep
long enough to bring the cost in the
neighborhOOd of $50 600 A st. Louis
firm, holding contracts for nearly al of
this drain, are on the ground with their
dredges, determined to carry it through.
Many who signed the petition for the
drain did so in the belief that it would
cost no more than shilling an acre
The dram is to have two branches.
The north branch will commence near
the west quarter post of section ~,
township of Goodland. Lapeer COUNTY,
and runs east and south to the county
line, and east in st. Clair county
to the town of Brockwsy. and viii
empty into Black river. The south
branch will commence on section ,.
township of Inlay, and will go in m
easterly direction at sufficient angle -
meet the other branch in the town of
Lynn, from which point it is five miles
to the terminus. The entire length of
the drain is to be % miles. and CONSISTS
in deepening and widening a sm II
stream called Mill Creek to channel
33 feet wide at the top and 30 feet NJ
the bottom, and from to IL feet deep.
The reason for the great width is that
drcdges cannot work to advantage in
narrower limits.
Contracts were let by Drain Commits
soners Snyder, of Lapeer county. and
Butler. of St Clair. One contract is for
lS miles at S7.35 per rod, and the other
for II miles at 81 per rod. A dredge j.
Row at work on the east branch, and
bascompleted half mile. The hnd
to be drained is owned mostly by resi-
dent farmers. Chicago people own
1900 or 1000 acres, and the benefit j.
asimuch for the former as the latter.
The tax amounts to over So per acre.
Probate Judge IIough, of Lapeer, has
80 acres, and u tax of 5000. The tax on
part of the drain is already assessed
and collected. The principal kick
comes from farmers of the townships
of Arcadia and Attica, Lapeer county,
which are miles away, and on high
ground, but are assessed on the ground
that the marsh lands receive their
DRAWINGS.
