A CHANGE MADE.
The Boom Company Will Have
Charge of the Log Sorting
This Season. ,4,.

1t ia said by Il representative ut the
Mississippi & Rum River Boom com
pany. that by an arrangement DE-
tween that company and the Fine
Tree Lumber company, Of this city.
the work of sorting logs at this
place the coming season will he In
charge of the Boom company, in
stead of the Pine Tree company,
who have heretofore done that work.
This IL quite an important change
and might seriously effect large
number OF the laboring men Of Little
Falls, as the work has required from
forty to seventy-hve men each sea-
SIN. and under the management OF
the Pine Tree company it was done
by residents of Little Falls.
However, it IL not expected that
any great change will take place, as
the work of sorting logs. owing to
the many marks that have to be
watched. requires experienced men,
and it IL likely that those who have
become familiar with the work dur
ing the lust several seasons will
have the privilege Of working for the
Boom company this season.
l.. A. Jordon. general superinten-
dent. and r. H. Mahaney, timekeeper,
for the Boom company, are in the
city today, and have force of men
ut work getting things In shape for
the opening OF the driving season.
,phe boarding houses for the accomC'-
dalton of those who work at the
sorting gap about three miles north
of the city are being fitted up for
occupany and Mr.. Mahauey is super:
intending the construction OF a large
boat which will be used for pile-driv-
ing purposes.
Among the men who have in
former years worked in the sorting
crew the change is said to be con-
sidered favorable. for the reason that
in case the work Of sorting has to be
stopped on account OF unfavOrable
weather or other conditions that
may arise the Boom company has
other places to transfer them to. and
the necessity of laying of will be
greatly lessencd.

Ex-senator Sawyer was quoted in
Washington as saying: "When they ask
me if want to be delegate, tell
them mo. don't care anything about
it, that have been to q good many
conventions; that I am pretty near 80
years old, and that if any of the boys
want to go in my place am perfectly
willing to have 'em. At the same time,
if they want to make me delegate III
accept. I've got nothing else to do: hat
I'm too old to have any ambition, and
hereafter will do anything that is want
ed Of me, but no more.
This is very sensible and moderate
observation. But it applies to all sorts
of jobs, including United States senator.

BROWNS GREAT CURES.
The Michigan Healer Much Sought by the
Sick and Suffering.

The Michigan Healer Much Sought by the
Sick and Suffering.
The wonderful cures effected by the
Owosso healer, Edward T. Brown, seem
no less miraculous than the work Of the
famous Schlatter. Brown was formerly
employed as foreman of one Of the de-
partments by the Owosso Manufacturing
company, but was obliged to give up
his position because of the number Of
applications he received daily from the
afflicted.
He is an unassuming young man not
yet 80 years of age, and by his mysteri-
GUS power has already cured numerous
cases Of neuralgia, rheumatism and sick
headache, together with two cases Of
insanity, one Of which had been case
Of two years. standing.
Brown attributes all bis success to
faith, and, like other faith healers, effects
all his cures by taking the patients by
the hand and assuring them that they
will be afflicted no longer. His list Of
cures is rapidly increasing, and those
who have consulted him thus far, most
ly people of this city, are loud in their
praise Of his power to relieve the sick.
