No. 4 of The independent Column
appeared last week. One article therein
intimates that the life Of the paper was
prolonged another week to enable Mr..
Woodruff to reply to the Tribune's head
7lipes-that paper declining to publish
the reply he had prepared. We presume
that the further publication of'The Inde-

SURPRISE to Calumet people and partic-
ulary to Mr.. Petermann, as he was not
seeking the office, but nothing could be
more pleasing To local militiamen than
the result of the election which elevates
one of the most popular ana efficient men
Who has ever been in the State troops TO
the command of one OF the frat regiments
OF Michigan's citizen soldiery.
Up TO within several months ago when
Mr.. Petermann was compelled TO resign
his commission as major for business
reasons he had been in the State service
for fifteen years, entering in 1881. Three
years afterward he was appointed corpo-
raj, then promoted TO sergeant and was
elected second lieutenant OF the Light
Guard in 1887 and the following year
first lieutenant. On May l he was ell
ected captain and while serving IN that
capacity he made personal friend OF
every member of the Light Guard, who
now rejoice to see him honored. In Au-
gust of '93 he was elected major and held
that position until ne resigned last year
He served at both the Ironwood and Ish-
peming strikes and has always been
fodnd competent and the National Guard
was bettered by his having been in it.
The Calumet officers are expected home
this evening,
The regular drill OF the Light Guard
will take place this evening, as usual, and
the company will go to the depot on the
arrival OF the evening train and welcome
the officers who return from Saut Ste.
Marie. The Fifth Regiment band will
turn out and procession will be formed
in honor OF Colonel Petermann. The
members OF the company are requested
70 wear full fatigue uniform, including
leggDgs.

A decidedly strange communication
signed "Look out for the future. Yours

by some of "tbe professors" friends or
himself, was received at the NEWS Office
this morning. The letter said: The
professor do advisement If they want to
come all right, il they do not want to
come the prof elaine to have no string on
them. The prof az got big run OF bust
ness all the time. he do not act as clair
voyent all the time he as got 4 other
kinds OF business that will keep him.

the man in the muller was, but may do
