Mayor Pingree may not be all HE
friends paint him, but nevertheless al
good citizens, az We see il, should for one
reason alone, il for no other, rejoice that
he was nominated, az it shows most con.
clusively that the people have now made
up their minds to have something more
to say in the future than they have had
in the past as TO who shall be their repre-
sentatives, and that the DAYS OF the
political boss are surely numbered This
state has Tor years been run by a ring,
which Sir Knight PiDgree has made a
gallant fight against and 80 far has come
out conqueror and will we trust do so
next November.
What is true in the State also applies
to this county, for notwithstanding the
Tact that Pingree was the voters favorite
in this county, one of "the machine"
which has run the county il reported to
have said when attending the State con-
vention IN Detroit that there was no Pin
gree sentiment in the copper country; il
such really was said il must have been
done for purpose. as if the speaker
knew anything he must have known he
was telling an untruth for the only SEN
timent heard about here at that time
was Mckinley and Pingree; but in spite
OF this and the gallant fight made at the
county convention in Houghton by Pin
gree's admirers, ''the machine" notwith-
standing the fact that the convention
was held during the time the circuit court
was in session in Keweenaw county.

We were told yesterday by Detroiter
that "the machine" had done all they

done so much for Detroit that the people
there stood firmly at his back and pre-

threats against him. The ring there

Axial Takes Another.

The second game between the Meeker
and Axial mines came Oft at Eikhorn
station last Sunday afternoon and was
witnessed by the entire population of
the basin, reinforced by large crowd
from Meeker. Axial appeared on the
ground greatly strengthened by the
elimination of nearly all the .havseeds"
and the substitution in their place of
most of the old Craig players. This
made too strong combination for the
not sin it" at any stage of the game.
AT the wind-up the score stood 2s to
II in favor of Axial.
In the second inning Saltmarsh was
struck on the lett eyebrow by foul tip
from his own bat and knocked insensi-
BILE. DR.. Bruner was on hand and fixed
him up by few stitches and quantity
of uourt plaster, but he had to retire
from the game, thus helping Meeker
down the toboggan slide of defeat.
The ladies of the basin provided fine
repast for the players and all present
ana uiaue the occasion u very pleasant
one for the visitors.
Q. b. Kelly acted as umpire and
Judge Wildhack kept the tally in his
usual efficient way.
All the Meekerites are loud in their
praises of tine courteous treatment ac-
corded them by the Axial players and
citizens. The genial VIII Taylor was
particularly indefatigable in his efforts
to entertain the visitors.
The next game will come off on the
afternoon of July Fourth on the local
grounds, when it is hoped that the
Meeker boys will be in shape to put up a
better game than they did on the last
occasion.

WHIPPING HIS WEIGHT.
The Chanpion Logger Oversstimatsd His
Fistio Ability TO His Sorrow.

The Champion Logger OversstinAtsd Hls
Fistio Ability to His Sorrow.
In the logging camps Of Michigan
might makes right and the man who has
whipped all comers in fair fights is
king Of his camp.
One OF these, said q logger, was very
boastful of his exploits. He had been
the victor in a dozen fights and no one
cared to enter the lists with him, but
every man in the camp hated the
champion. Going into saloon one
day he announced: "Tm tired of these
babies in camp. Iain't had good fight
in Michigan. can whip my weight in
dogs, wildcats or anything that breathes
for $1OO.'
A meek-looking man took the bet and
arrangements for the fight were made.
1t was to take place In q closed room
one week from the time the bet was
made.
The day came and the champion
called: Bring on your animals" The
man who had bet against the king Of
the camp brought his antagonist in Il
large sack, which had been deposited
behind the stove in the saloon where the
match had been entered into, the
weather just beginning to get cold. TIL.
gladiator entered the room, the sack
was enptied and the people crowded at
the window to see the contest. Out of
the sack came three large hornet nests
the occupants of which had been revived
by the heat.
They issued from the nests in swarns
and lit all over the man. He fought
them for q minute or two, then, with ii
yell, jumped through the window, car
rying sash and glass with him, never
stopping until he reached the river, into
which he jumped.
said he could whip his weight in
anything that breathed," remarked the
meek little man. as he pocketed the
stakes, "but about five pounds of hornets
knocked him out in the first round-"--
