A MARBLE HEART.

TIN. but all the Judges Said.
"Nay. Nay. Pauline"

The supreme court of Michigan has de-
cided that G. 4. Roberts, of Crystal
Falls, and John Burt, OF Iron River, ms
superintendcnts OF the poor oi Iron
county are dismal failures and that when
the board Of supervisors OF the county
of'Iron, without further ceremony than
statutatory provision required, relieved
these gentlemen Of their "dukedoms," 7"
the hoard acted without error and in ac-
cordance with the law. The case Was
disposed OF on Tuesday, when the action
OF the board was affirmed. with costs,
which is TO sny that the ex-ofiicials will
pay the costs, il they are collectable.
As will be remembered by many readers
Of The DIAMOND DRILL, Messrs. Roberts
and Burt were summariIy dismissed by
the board Of supervisors early last sum
mer, upon the representation of the
prosecuting attorney, whose informa-
tion against them set forth incompetence
in the following counts:
J.. Allowance oi their own bills.
2. Issuance OF warrants in their own
iavor IN amounts in excess OF their due.
3. Making contracts with themselves
and then paying them.
A. Drawing warrants in excess oil ar'
preparations.
8. Using the poor funds to pay foI
their private horse hire.
O. Through extravaganza and.incom
potency, overdrawing the poor funds
S23, 900
The action OF the board was somewhat
dstasteful to the dcposcd officials and
Mr.. Roberts sought succor at the hands
Of the high tribunal.
The board defended it's action stub
bornly, az will be seen by the following
from the brief, prepared by the prosecut
ing attorney, upon which the finding o
the court was based:
In the case at bar the reason in the
public interest for upholdlng the hands
oi the supervisors i'm their attempt to
improve and purify the administration
OF public offices is more cogent than IN
some localities. This court ought &c
take judicial notice OF what every one else
grossly inisapplied and wasted and pub
lie offices prostituted To private pur
poses in the county Of Iron for year'
past. IL has been - stencil in the nostrili
of the state Here IL il found as a faci
by the rccorsl--if nothing else IN speciil

rants have been issued by these supcrin
tcndcnts in excess OF funds, and thes'
warrants left to float on the stream o
already exhausted public credit. II THU
be not at least incompctcncy no
something worse-what Is ity Did no
this justify, indeed dictate. the action o

The Public Schools Closed in consequenee OF the
Prevalence Of the Disease.
Crystal Falls II just now undergoing
an epidemic OF measles The disease hns
already made its appearance In about
twenty families and IL Is the opinion OF
the local health officer. DIR. A. NJ. Dar-
ling, that il will be strange II the disease
does not appear in every family in Cry
stal Falls, having children OF school age.
The disease was brought TO Crystal Falls
from Iron Mountain about two weeks
ago. The children who contracted II
continued TO attend school until the
communicative siage OF the disease was
reached and thus exposed every pupil,
In consequence oil the general
spreading Of the disorder. the schools
OF the township were by order
OF tho health officer closed on Tues
day. The date OF reopcning them
has not as yet been decided upon
Officer Tromblcy has had the matter o
placarding houses and keeping th,
children of the street in charge, and has
done yeoman ice, but owing TO th,
general exposure in the schools, II Is i'm
probable that these latter precautions
will avail - great deal IN the way o
rctarding the epidemic.

For the Crystal Falls Rusinessmen's s A ssoeistion
To Again Come to Life.
Lack OF opportunities TO do Anything
to promote the business interests OF the
city has given the Crystal Falls Busi-
nessmen's association long resrt, but
now chance In offered them to again 90
into active service, and become a potent
factor in the prosperity OF the city.
Freidrich's Ruhe, the embryo town at
Chicagoan lake, will soon commence to
build up, and in few months will con-
tain quite a population. A hundred or
more men win be on the payroll OF the
company before tine close oi tine summer
months. Now. the question is, do the
businessmen OF Crystal Falls want the
trade OF the residents OF the town? II
so, something must be done to make
travel between the two towns as short
and comfortable as possible, and at the
least expense il is possible to do the
work.

formed, this can be done mt a compare.

being n few miles nearer TO Friedrich
Ruhe than Iron River and with good
highway between the two towns The
trade will ill-naturally drift this way.

THE FREMONT ERECTION.

Mir. ]. J. Joslln is a large mer- chant of the city of Denver. While a Republican he is for free silver and will vote for the Bryan and Sewall electors. He is a native oi Vermont and was in that State on the day of election. He thus de seribes, in an interview in the Den. yer Nacs, what he saw on that day.
 ;'I was in Vermont on election day, when the Republicans carried everything. The majority of the candidates in both conven tions, Democratic and f2eeputbifttet feeifseepVii ous to the election were gold men, so in the election the silver Demo erats had no alternative but to vote the gold ticket. The State was flooded with money by the Republi- cans, and the vote was made as large as possible in order to terrify the silverites by the flood of seemingly popular sentiment against them. Fraudulent votes were run in by the score, and every device known to trickery was used. Unnatural ized foreigners were allowed to vote and the judges, being justices of the peace, and all Republicans, al- lowed many to vote twice. | esti- mate that at least two-thirds of the Vermont Democrats are for free Bil- yer, and would have voted that ticket in the recent election had there been one in the field. Every man of that two thirds will vote for Bryan and Sewall.
 This charge against the Repub- licans of Vermont is more serious than anything that was said about Arkansas by Gen. Clayton prior to the election. Since the election there have been no charges of fraud. The idea that the Purtians of Yer mont would resort to Yote-buying, repeating and other trickeries known only to the ward -heeler and ballot box suffer sounds a little queer, but no buslness man in Colorado stands higher than J, J. Joslin. That he speaks truly noone who knows him will doubt.-Arkansas Gazefe. A

l
 TIE gold Boltoerats and the Re publicans in the Eighth Congress sional District Of Missouri have entered into q scheme to defeat Richard P. Bland, the great silver leader, for Congress. Dr. Hubbard, the present Republican Congress- man, defeated Mir. Bland two years ago, by plurality of 70 votes. The Democrats, through over confidence, did not turn out in that election and vote. II Mr. Bland shall receive in November the Democratic vote of two years ago, in addition to the Populist vote of his district this year, he will have margin of 3, 500 votes in the election, and tits, there fore, doubtful if the combined Beltc .crats and Republicans can defeat him. Mir Bland's defeat in Novem- Der would be great setback for bimetallism. He, more than any other man, is responsible for the great silver movement of this year.

AN exchange has this to say of a discovery recently made in England:
 "A pick-ax at least 5000 years old has recently been found in a cave at Norfork, Eng It was made from the antlers of red deer. Finger prints are still preserved on the handle. The workman who used it was doubtless one of the ancient miners who dug up the ore that formed the basis of the traffic be- tween the Phoenieian merchant sailors and the Brittons. He had left his picS-ax in the gallery one evening on quitting work for the day The gallery rell in overnight and he had found it impossible to recover the tool For 5000 years it remained exaetlyin the position he had left it.

saving HYoms,i,s Time.

Mrs. Rachel Foster Avery lately de. hvered an address at the Seventh Street M. B. church, Philadelphia, under the auspices of the National Reform associ- ation, on Woman Suffrage and Its Relation to the Home" Among other things, she said: sasi.
 The home is not fully represented in the government by the votes of men alone. The mothers who now spend weary hours in caring for sick children, made sick by the unsanitary conditions of our city, would do we'll to consider that 1t would take less of their time and certainly be better for their little ones for them to consider the needs of the city and help elect to power men who would regard their work as public duty. to be done honestly and fairly, rather than for their own greatest per sonal advantage.
 People think the woman suffrage workers are not interested in the chil- dren and the home What else made them work last year in this state to se. cure the law which now stands on our statute books making mothers equal owners with fathers of the children born ill wedlock. Every mother here is the gainer by this law, but in many states the father has the power to wilt away the children in case of his death before the mother or to separate the mother from them during the life of both parents if he so choose.
