President Agassiz of the Calumet Il
Hecla, has given a substantial increase
in wages to the men working in the Red
Jacket shaft. The shaft is now down
4,70o feet vertically, and is the deepest
in the world. The men engaged in sink
ing work under difficulties, and amid
very trying surroundings. The tenn
perature is almost unbsarably hot, aud
the acid water which perco,ates through
the trap rock blisters the hands and is
very destructive to clothing and foot
wear. The men deserved every cent of
the raise, but Mr.. Agassiz is entitled to
credit for the increase, as he gave 1t
voluntarily.

hanging in an abandoned slaughterhouse
at Marquette, near the. lighting plant
Sunday afternoon. Schwartz was an old
German resident Of the city and disap-

threatened to cemmit suicide by drown
ing, SO when his hat was found few
days afterward floating In the harbOr, II
was considered certain that his body was
somewhere near, but patient dragging OF
the harbor failed to find it. 1t is now
believed when he left home at night he
threw his hat into the water intending
to misead such as might institute
search fer him, and possibly thwart his
purpose before he could make way with
himself. The body was badly deeom-
posed when found.

Tins OF last weeks explosion In Detroit
ended abruptly Thursday afternoon
before any important testimony had been
taken. The prosecuting attorney asked
the jury to merely return verdict to

ly done. The prosecutors object was to
avoid producing testimony which would
divulge the case OF the state against

neugh.on Goes to Hancock.

The following is taken from the Han
cock department Of the Mining Journal
OF Wednesday:
IL. NJ. Houghton, who begun publica'
tion of the Baraga Press few weeks
ago, has bought the Hancock Progress,
the deal being closed Saturday evening.
Mr.. r. Ii. jenkins, the former publisher,
will retire, and Mr.. Houghton will re-
move here from Baraga."
Regarding the deal the Copper Coun-
try evening News says:
The Houghton County Progress has
gone through another transformation
scere. The hackers OF the paper growing
tired Of the performance by r. H..
jenkins OF his promises when he was put
in charge, Saturday transferred the es-
tablishment to l.. NJ. Houghton, OF the
Baraga Press. The history OF the paper
is one of mis-management, and though
1t seems there is opportunity for the
paper to pay fairly well, it has been
given no chance. After its originator,
J. II. Kelly, cleverly uDloaded 1t onto its
present owners, it has had two editors,
J.C. Upton, who managed it for Upton,
and Mr.. jenkins, who managed 1t not at
all. During the first part of the Upton
regime the paper proved that there is
field for it, but Tip could not stand pros
perity aud finally got out with about all
there was in sight. That it paid is
shown by Tipton's own acknowledge
ment that besides good living he took
out of the business clean $500. He
paid nothing on his notes to Messrs.
Coughlin, Scott and Crawford and Mr..
jenkins was put in command. that is
possible, with the understanding that If
he paid up the Upton notes he was to
own the concern. He was large in
promises bat failed in execution. FIRE.
quent trips for collections during which
he spent more than he collected and side
trips to Chicago proved detrimental to
business and wound up couple ofweeks
ago by borrowing $50 or $40 from a.
j. Scott and leaving for Chicago. His
hackers then became disguised for they
knew he had no business IN Chicago,
other than to board out an advertising
bill at the Palmer House and they
opened negotiations with Mr.. Houghton
ending in the transfer TO him Saturday.

Caught u Alackinaw.
A Topeka man has captured the fish
ing honors al Mackjnaw this season. The

last Friday he captured and landed
muscallonge which weighed forty four
and a half pounds. 1t was not only the

The story is vouched for by E. A. Wag-
ener, who has just returned, and who saw
the monster. He says that Pick" was
trolling with spoon" when the big fish
was hooked. de found that he was
totally unable to manage the fish but he
would not allow the boatman to assist
him and he gave orders for the man to
row ashore. When he reached the ground
he managed with II great deal of exertion
to land the fish which was four feet in
length.
II was landed in front of the Les Che
neaux hotel and Pick" had an admiring
audience composed of the guests Of the
house present to verify the catch. He
was looked upon as hero for the rest of
the time be remained.
BIr. Smith took the skin off the fish
which be left with taxidermist in Chi
cago to be mounted and he will bring it
with him and place it on exhibition in a
Topeka show window when he returns.

BUT THE PISTOL BALL GLANCED
And She VIII Lfve-JealOusx the

And She VIII Lfve-JealOusy the
Cause Of a Family Difference.
There. are two bullet holes in the screen
door and two leaden spots on the side-
walk in front of the Crawford fats on
East Fifth street which tell a story of
family troubles.
They also intimate that it must have
been a very narrow escape from death
that person would have if he had been
in the stairway, when the shots were
fred. These marks are all that the cur
ious public sees. But upstairs there lies
a woman suffering from bullet wound
in her temple, inflicted by her own hand.
The trouble arose from the suspicious of
q jealous husband of his wife. The story
briefly told is this:
Walter J. Mcdonald is the manager of a
medicine show. His wife, who was a
daughter of W. M. Cam, Of this city,
lieved that his wife vas too intimate
with II certain man about the show.
Mrs Mcdonald returned to the city
Tuesday and went to the home of her
parents in the Crawford fats. The hus-
band returned soon afterward. There
we're several quarrels between them. and
things finally reached a climax by the
husband engaging in street fight yes
terday afternoon an account of which
was given in the STATE JOURNAL
yesterday. It is said that the
trouble arose over Johnson not
telling Mcdonald something he wished
to know about an affair in which his
wife figured.
After supper last night the fussing
was renewed. At about eight O'CLOCK
Mcdonald started to leave the building
to go over to the show.
AS he started down the stairway, his
wife grabbed a revolver and ran to the
stairs
Mcdonald was about half way down
stairs, when he WAS startled by two shots
fired in rapid succession at him. The
bullets barely missed him. There was
but few seconds interval when there
was another shot, and the woman sank
to the floor, shot in the head.
Physicians were summoned and eX-
tracted the bullet.
The revolver was a 32-callibre. The
bullet struck the skull just at the tenn
pie and ranged upward, keeping close to
the skull. It was fattened by the resist
ance it met
The woman is not seriously injured,
but will be i'll for some time yet The
shock was very great After the shoot
ing she said she wanted to die There
was q complete reconciliation between
husband and wife, it is said.
Mrs. Mcdonald is a pretty, young wo-
man of perhaps rs years. Her hus oAnd
has been in the show business for some
time They have little boy four years
old
