A Merry Christmas To Yor!

The Editor wishes his many friends
and readers a merry Christmas and
trusts that each and all will do what we
can toward bringing peace aud good will
to this mundane sphere of ours. We can
all do little, no doubt some more than
othsrs, towards helping on the millennium
il we will only bear in mind that good
old doctrine of dong unto Others as we
would wish them to DO unto us. and try
the best that IN u lies to carry out the
precept
Oi cour-e. there will be no paper issued
from this officetomorrow, az the captain.
mate and crew will be busy Keeping
the day in the good old style by rejoicing
for the blessings, be they small or great
which haye been showered upon US. for
We all have thing to be thankful forever
ii many OF US scarcely believe such to be
the case, for there is much truth in the
proverb, that "Contentment is the riches
OF the mind, which we had for a copv
slip In our school days.

Probable Promotions
i'm the Fifth Regi-
ment. M. N. G..
The Local Company Interested


Members of the local militia compap!
and Others, interested in the welfare o
the Michigan National Guard and partic
ularly the Fifth Regiment, are more thar
usually interested in the election OF a col
onel OF the X. giment TO fill the yaeanc,
caused by the promotion OF Genera
Lyon. The local militiamen are inter
ested because il is likely TO effect the Off
GERS OF the local company and for othel
reasons.
The election has been called for the 18th
OF next month and will probably be held
at Sault Ste. Marie, although this has
not been ordered, as yet. Lieutenant
Colonel Bennett, of Muskegon. who is
acting colonel at present aud who was
understood TO be a candidate for the
place, is more than likely TO disappointed
inspector general OF the state troops by
GoYernor-eleet Pingree and il this takes
place an entirely new aspect will be
placed on the election.
Major Douglass, of Houghton, il the
next ranking officer and IL understood 70
be a candidate for the place. while the
friends OF Major Petermann, OF Allouez,
are urging him Tor the place. Both are
excellent men and could fill the position
with credit TO themselves aud the Regi-
ment. la the event of the election ef
Major Douglass 10 be colonel, Major
Winslow is apt 20 be elected lieutenant
colonel and this will leave two vacancies
as majors TO be filed. No matter how
the election goes there will probably be
one new major TO elect, and possibly two.
Captain +. ). Grierson is the senior
captain of the Regiment and Captain
Millar. OF the Houghton company, is the
next ranking officer OF the captains. Ii
only one major is TO be chosen, Captain
Grierson can undoubtedly nave it. if he
wants it, but he has given but little
thought TO the matter and says he done
known whether he would take il or not.
OF course the major has TO be elected by
the other officers, but il Is a custom TO
elect the highest ranking captain, il there
are no objections TO his filing the place.
The election OF Captain Grierson as
major would mean an election OF a new
captain for the Light Guard and un-
doubtedly would be promotion for the
frs and second lieutenants and an cleo
ton OF a new lieutenant from members
OF the company.

SUPERIOR LOSES HEAVILY.
Settlement with the Defuuct Keystone
Bank VIII Not BE Closed.

Settlement with the Defuuct Keystone
Bank VIII Not BE Closed.
Superior, Wis, Dec. 24-The pro-
posed settlement between the city of
Superior and the defunct Keystone Ma
tional bank has fallen through because
of the inability of the interested stock
holders to raise the required cash.
About three months ago. w. z. Nc
Cord and his associates offered to purH
chase the $4,000 claim of the city
against the bank for so cents on the
dollar. The proposition was accepted
by the city council and a forfeit of ST.
600 was deposited with the city treas
urer as a guarantee of good faith The
agreement was that the balance of the
money should be paid over within
three months, which limit will expire
some time next month. 1t is now un.
derstood that the deal will never be
closed. Out of $4,000 of the city's
money on deposit in the bank at the
time of the failure. only sl5,100 has
been received. including a Is per cent.
dividend and the forfeit money, so that
a loss of about $4,000 will probably be
sustained.
