MICHIGAN NINE Is CLOSED DOWN
Miners Likely to Have to Face
Starvation Soon.

Bessemer, Mich, Aug 2.-The Tidcn
mine yesterday closed down both day and
night shifts of No. 9 shaft. ! completes
the shutdown of the Rockefeller mines
in this city. Numbers 6, 7, 8. and 10
now employ just men enough to keep the
mines clear of water. In large number
of mines the pumps have been taken out
and the mines allowed TO fill with water.
The GOgebc range of mines are prac-
tically all shut down at Hurley, IRON
wood, Besscmer and Wakefield. There
are less than 1000 men at work on the
Targe, where at one time there were over
5000 employed. 1t is certain that a few
months Of idleness will find hundreds Of
families in restitution. The several min
ing companies have allowed their en-
ployes all unoccupied lands for "Pingree
farms" but the army worms have de-
stroyed the last hope of the miners of
having at least vegetables to keep body
and soul together the coming winter.
The poor fund is exhausted and there
are a large number of outstanding or
ders. The idle miners and their families
are therefore facing starvation.

ELEANOR HULL WILLARD was born in
Madison county, Ohio, July 3, 1880, and
died December 1, 1896, aged 66 years, 4
months and 2S days. She was united in
marriage to James M. Willard, Nov. 26,
1S49. To them were born six children
four of whom, two sons and two daugh-
tiers, survive. Mr. and Mrs. Willard
united with the Universalist church in
London, O., at the time of its first dedi-
cation, since which time both have been
earnest and consistent members. In her
death the church loses valued and much
beloved member, and a large circle of
friends one whose blessed memory will
ever be fondly cherished. May the rich
promises of our holy religion be abund-
antly impaired to the sorrowing husband
bereft of his beloved companion, and to
the surviving sons and daughters, whose
richest legacy is a mothers love.

Catarrh in the Head.

Catarrh is caused by cold, or success
sion of colds, combined with impure
blood. Its local symptoms are fullness
and heat in the forehead, dryness in the
nose and back part of the throat, and a
disagreeable discharge from the nose.
When the disease gains firms hold and
becomes chronic, it is very dangerous, be-
ing liable to develop into consumption.
The eyes becomes infiamed and red, there
is throbbing in the temples, ringing
noises in the ears, headache, capricious
appetite. and sometimes loss of senses of
smell and hearing. Hoods Sarsaparilla
is the remedy for this ever increasing
malady. 1t attacks at once the source of
the disease by purifying and enriching
the blood, which as it reaches the deli
cate passages of the mucous membrane,
soothes and rebuilds the tissues, giving
them tendency to health instead of dis
ease, and ultimately curing the affection.

it was all the more interesting because

streamed up the hill to witness the

HERE'S YOUR OPPORTUNITY.
How to Get Great Reference Work at
the Cost of Paper and Ink.

Not long ago the Western Newspaper
Syndicate conceived the happy idea of
distributing among readers on remark
ably favorable terms certain number of
sets of that great reference work, the En-
cyclopedic Dictionary.
The project met with such widespread
appreciation that the enterprise extended
far beyond the bounds originally mapped
out, and many thousands of sets of the
probably never have possessed it at the
regular price of S42 to so a set.
In the course of the distribution, which
involved the handling packing and I'M
packing of many thousands of these sets,
now and then a volume in some set was
slightly rubbed and therefore withheld
from shipment. These sets, of course,
might be rebound and sent out, but the
Syndicate, instead of doing this, purposes
to distribute them at a nominal price
TIE most serious injury to any set is no
greater than might occur in few days
use in one's home or Office
The nominal price arranged for readers
is also payable in small monthly amounts,
so that many who may have found the
former price too high may now possess
one of these special sets at cost entirely
within reach, both as to price and pay
ment. One dollar is all the cash required
and full set delivered at once, with the
privilege of returning within week and
money refunded.
The Syndicate's address is No. 279
Dearbor street, Chicago, where applica-
tion may be made either personally or by
letter, but as the number of these special
sets is limited and as they will be dis
tributed to the first who apply, prompt
application is necessary. Sample sets are
also on exhibition at room PA Inter Ocean
Building.

How Some of our Readers can Make
Money.


Money.
Last month l cleared, after paying all
expenses, 1855. IS; the month previous,
$3.50, and have at the same time attended
to other duties. l believe any energetic
person can do equally as well, as 1 have
had very little experience. The Dish
Washer is just lovely, and every family
wants one, which makes selling very easy.
l do no canvassing. People hear about
the Dish Washer, and come or send for
one. 1t is strange that a good, cheap
washer has never before been put on the
market. The Iron City Dish Washer fills
this bill. With it you can wash and dry
the dishes for family of ten in two min
utes without. wetting the hands As soon
as people see the washer work they want
one. You can make more money, and
make it quicker than with any other
household article on the market / feel
convinced that any lady or gentleman can
make from $40 to sl4 per day around home.
My sister and brother have started in the
business and are doing splendid. You can
get full particulars by addressing the Iron
City Dish Washer Co, Dept. ~, Sta. A.
Pittsburgh, Pa. They help you get
started, than you can make money awfully
fast. MRS. w. H.

THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.

President Cleveland's message, read on
Monday in the presence of the two
houses of Congress, begins with note
of rejoicing in the stability of American
institutions. as proved by peaceful &C.
ceptance of the results of the late cleo
ton. which closed a campaign of great
spirit and passion. After broad COM
mitment of the interests OF the nation to
the hands of Congress, the President
turns to a consideration of the state of
affairs in Turkey. No American has as
yet been killed or maltreated by the
Ottoman, and everv effort has been
made to protect. But there is clear ad
mission of the great danger to which all
American citizens resident there and all
property held by such citizens are sub
iected. But he adds warning that the
impulsive feeling of our people should
not lead them to demand impossible
things at the hands of government.
This portion of the message is closed
with the expression of hope that the
present somber aspect in Turkey will
not long offend the sight of Christen-
dom.
Cuban Affairs.
AS TO Cuba, the President thinks, in
spite of SPANS determination to put
down the rebellion. that the Cubans
have gained strength in arms and in
men, Spain has not established her
authority, and Cuba has not made good
her title to be regarded as an independ-
