Paper Mill at sault Ste. Marie.


The Chicago Tribune of Sunday made
correction of an injustice to two Michi-
gan towns by publishing the following re-
traction: 'sThe Tribune, in it's issue Of
Oct. 20, printed an article entitled Only
Sesolation There 1t referred to the
City of Oscoda, Mich, and made the
charge that the little municipality was
deserted and the scene of desolation. The
cities of Oscoda and An Sable. while un-
der different governments, are almost In
separately connected, and the citizens of
Au Sable Joined those of Oscoda In TAX
ing umbrage against the publication. A
representative of the Tribune recently
spent several days In Oscoda and Au Sa-
BILE, giving the matter careful investiga-
ton. The country surrounding these
towns for many years was covered with
fine pine timber. The towns had many
saw-mills and other profitable industries;
they prospered, and were regarded as
among the best in the State of Michigan.
The removal Of the pine from the banks
of the. Au Sable River, however, has
closed mp some of the mills, and they will
probably remain idle until spur railroads
are built from the river into the woods to
bring the logs into the market With the
of the country and the building of the
railroads in question the former pro-
nounced prosperity of An Sable and Os-
coda will again be seen. While there has
been a falling off in the population in the
municipalities, more wealthy business
Development has been the inevitable result.
The merchants are in good standing and
of fine credit i'm the commercial world;
the business interests are solvent; the
towns are well governed, and mag
nifcent system of water-works gives ev-
cry known precaution. against fire. The
towns are located on the shore of Lake
Huron, and the shipping interests have
suffered but little from events of recent
years. With the resumption of good
times and an increase in the output of
lumber. both of which may be regarded as
certanties, the business interests of Os-
coda and Au Sable will be greater than
ever before" srr

Farmers The 300-pound pig has half as
much sAgain or bodily tissue to keep

smaller proportion Of the food left for

A PECULIAR CASE.
Physicians Puzzled by the Experi-

The Episcopal Hospital Said She Fad
Consumption.

(From the Record, Philadelphia. Pay
Last July the Episcopal hospital admitted
a woman whose pale and emaciated face and
racking cough proclaimed her the We
tim of consumption. She gave ner name as
Mrs. Sallie g. Bowen, wife of VIM. &.
Bowen, residence, 1915 Meighan ST., Phi'a-
delphia. The case was diagnosed and she
was told plainly that she was in an ad-
vanced stage of consumption. The exanin-
ing physician even showed her the sunkcn
place IN her breast where the cavity in her
lung was supposed to exist She went home
to her family a broken, disheartened woman
with death staring her in the face. That was
the beginning Of the story, the end was told
by Mrs Bowen, who 10 longer expects to
die, to reporter who visited her home.
s'The first symptoms of consumption cane
in the form of terrible sWeats, both Eignt
and day. From April until September
was constantly cold and kept wrapped up
in blankets through the hottest weather. a
terrible cough took possession OF NE, my
breast was sore to the slightest touch, and
my limbs were like cold clay. The hardest

ertion would so exhaust me that l could

was when the clouds were the darkest
that the first CLINT of sunshine came. Mr..
Shelmerdine friend, who lives around at

Mrs Bowen, did you ever try DR.. Williams'

at first with but little encouragement. The
first sign of improvement was warmta
and a tingling sensation in my limbs.
Finally the cough disappeared, my chest
