Day of Thanksgiving.

In his Thanksgiving proclamation,
issued last Tuesday, Gov. Rich says:
Upon that day, let all secular busi-
ness be set aside, and the day devoted
to exercises and recreation suitable
to the occasion. Religious and polit-
ical differences of opinion should be
forgotten and as citizens of a common
country alike interested in upholding
its honor and maintaining its laws,
let us assemble in our houses of wor
ship, and in grateful recognition of
manifold blessings Providence has
showered upon us, reverently thank
God for the peace and prosperity
that has fallen to our lot,
The poor and unfortunate should
not be forgotten, and acts of kindness
done to those who do not share in the
abundance that has blessed us, as IL
people, will prove that it is indeed
more blessed to give than toreceive.

An Interesting Comparison.

The following is an interesting
comparison: Suppose that a farmer
raises l 900 bushels of wheat a year,
and also sends this to 1000 persons
in all parts of the country, great
portion of them saying, i will pay
you in short time The farmer
does not want to be small and says
all right. Soon the 1000 bushels
are gone and he has nothing to show
for it. and he then realizes that he
has fooled away his whole crop, and
its value is due in thousand little
Subsequently he is
seriously embarrassed in business,
because his debtors, each owing him
a small amount, treat it as small
matter, and think it would not help
much. Continue this business year
in and year out, as the publisher of
IA newspaper does, how long would
he stand it?'--Press and Printer.

Doesn't Want Speakership.

Many newspapers in the upper
peninsula, as well as in lower Michi-
gan, have spoken favorably of Hon.
f. G. Chamberlain, of this city, as Il
possible candidate for speaker of the
next house of representatives of
Michigan. He has also received
many letters from friends in all
parts of the state urgingAim to enter
the race and assuring him of their
earnest support. Mr.. Chamberlain
was interviewed last week and said
that he desired to thank the friends
who had endorsed him and volun-
tarily offered to give him their sup
port, but she would not be a candi-
date for the speakership. He be-
lieves he can be of more service to
his state and district on the floor OF
the house than in the speaker S
chair. r.-Ironwoo News-Record.

NEW HUNTING SCHEME.
As Practiced Hunting Deer by In
geniOus SpOrtsmen from Ohio.

Arthur Fl. Moll, of Menominee,
was hunting near Sidnaw a few days
ago. He was in dense part of the
woods with companion, Fred Cow
ling by name, when the crack of a
rifle was heard but saw no one, or
even the smoke from a gun. Sud
denly, when about to become uneasy,
they heard something drop, and
looking ahead short distance saw
an object on the ground. 1t is said
to have looked like an idol of Con-
fucius or some other Chinese divinity
Mr. Moll and his friend approached
the strange animal cautiously and
found it to be a man, alive, and with
full possession of his faculties. He
was standing in a bag made out of
some strong, light, tenacious fibre.
1t came up around his neck fitting
as neatly as a shirt band. At the
sides we're holes through which his
arms protruded. To the sides of
this strange contrivance were at
tached strong light cords which
passed through a block made f
platinum attached to the limb of the.
tree % feet from the ground.
When the man stepped out of the
bag he explained to the boys that he
was from Ohio and was hunting
deer, and had brought new ideas in
to the sport He wore "a pair of
climbers. and with the aid of these
he climbed up the trees and adjusted
the block and ropes. He then came
down and stepped into his bag and
buckled it up around him and pulled
himself up, making the rope fast to
a strap around his waist when he
got up high enough, and with his
dinner in pocket of the sack he
could hang from a limb all day with
out Inconvenience, and slaughter
the deer as they passed by.
He said there were seven of them,
and he took Moll and his chum
through the woods and pointed out
to them his six companions hanging
from limbs of trees. He further
stated it was new thing and pure
ly an Ohio idea, and they were Civ
ing it trial and that he had applied
for patent. -Menominee Democrat.

LYING UNDER THE SNOW.
Body OF a Chicago Hotel Man
Found in Michigamme Woods.

The following is from the Mining
Journal of Thursday:
"A special telegram was received
in Marquette Wednesday night an
nouncing that the body OF the miss
ing Chicago hunter had been found.
The name of the man is W. w.
Ingram. He was the owner OF the big
World s Fair hotel of the same name,
and q man of considerable wealth
His age is given at fifty
The body was found Wednesday by
a party of searchers organized by
his son. 1t was lying in the snow
beside dead deer about half mile
from his camp, which was located
nine miles southeast Of Michigammc
The body was brought back TO the
town where an inquest was held.
His hat on limb was what first at
tracted the attention of the searching
party, When they saw that they
knew the body must be somewhere
near, so they hunted under the snow
all over the locality until they finally
found the corpse. A search was also
made for his gun but it was not found.
How he met his death is largely u
matter of conjecture. 1t is possible
that he was carrying the carcass of "a
deer which he had shot, back to camp
and that he was overtaken by one OF
the several hard snow storms this
month, became bewildered, and
finally sank down and died, in reach
almost of his camp.
Mr.. Ingram had been hunting and
fishing around Michigamme for tho
past ten years, never missing sea

The government trade statement fol
April continues to confound the igno
rant howl of the McKinleyites that the
hard times are due to food of i'm.
portaticns of foreign goods. THE tota
imports was only 500, 105, 269 against
s6S, 7I9, 9oS last year, and against 81,
600. 600 in 1893 when the Mckinley act
was in full force, and S16,340, 600 in
1892 and SSl, 21J, 600 in 1891. The ex-
ports on the other hand, were $40. 9iI. %
3i3 against SO. 25J, 6il last year. The
trade balance in our favor was the
largest it has been almost within men,
DRY. 1t was SD, 239, OH, where last
year it was 50, i9i,3l the other way.
and in April, 1898. under the full tide
of McKinleyism it was 1901. COO
against us, difference of nearly 500
600, 900 in our favor in one month be
tween the present law and Mckinley
ism. In fact there has been only
one year. 1894, when the April returns
failed to show an adverse balance.
That in such state of trade the gold
exports should have begun again.
though they are usual at his season, is
indeed remarkable, and all the more
so because the trade balance has been
go generally in our favor for the last
two years. 1t can only be accounted
for by Withdrawals of foreign capital
and that can only be explained by for
,i2n distrust Of our monetary standard
