Mr.. r. c. Chamberlain, who is the cop
per country representative OF the Jones
snow pillow company OF Bessemer, has
sold two OF the plows. At the regular
meeting OF the Lautium city council held
last Tuesday evening they decided tn
purchase one and give it trial on the
sidewalks OF their city, and the Red
Jacket city council also decided to get
one and if it worked satisfactorily to
keep it and purchase another. Or.
Chamberlain gave the council guaran-
tee that it was all that was claimed cor
il and the council will have the privilege
of taking thirty days TO pay for it and il
it does not work to satisfaction the pillow
need not be paid for, On these cond-
tons the council decided to get one.
1t will take two of the plows to do the
work well here and if the first one does
good work another will be purchased.
Street Commissioner Ford says that
the scrapper which was used on the
walks last winter was very hard on the
horses and he thinks the new plow will
have big advantage in this way.

The village council OF Red Jacket got
together last evening and held the regu.
lar monthly business meeting which
should have been held the previous even
ing. All the aldermen were present.

tractor, who is moving the old depot
from where it formerly stood to the new
site at the foot Ct Portland street, we're
on hand to get permission from the coun-

The ordinance in that regard was
looked up and it was found that, provid-
ed the council gave them permission.
they would have to work night and day
on the job ana rush the building through
the principal streets with all possible
speed. The council gave them the priviI-
eye OF mo wing the building with the un-
derstanding that they were allowed ten
days to get it through the village after
the building had been put squarely on
the street The work will be under the
supervision OF the street commissioner
and the route prescribed is down Oak
street. NJ. Noon said that no one was
more anxious to have the building
moved quickly than he.

up aud passed upon. The Calumet and
Hecls compapy's bill was rather high, as
il included considerable apparatus pur-
chased for keeping the electrical bell sys-
tenn in order, beside the water and usual

cational workers OF more than local req
utation who will deliver the series OF lee
lures is Charles MacMurray OF the Uni

table, with the most wholesome food and
the most refined style of living. After this

Need New Uniforms.

The Red Jacket Fire department is
sadly in need OF new uniforms. Under
the present arrangement about half the
members of the company are fitted out
with uniforms and in many cases these
are Ill lifting ones and worn 80 that
that they do not make respectable ap-
pearance.
The boys intend to enter the tourna-
ment at Houghton with a vim and will
put up a good team. They take par
donahle pride in being anxious to make
a good showing at the next tournament
and helping out the Houghton boys, for
they look upon it IA a copper country al
fair and are anxious to see 1t huge sue
cess.
The firemen had a meeting few even
ings ago and decided that they must
have new uniforms before next summer,
and a committee was appointed to go
ahead with the matter and see what
could be done. They figure that if the
village council would put up about 5000
OF the amount they could afford to give
the balance out of their own pockets.
Alderman Kniyei who is also a member
of the department brought up the mat
ter at the council meeting last evening
and the aldermen all seemed to think
that the fire ladies should be assisted in
the matter, but action was deferred un-
til the next meeting of the council.

CLEvERLY
The Master Stroke of n Matrimonial
Match Maker.

~
Match Maker.
In an Illinois town a Miss Blizzard
lately demonstrated practically beyond
question the truth of the old saying so
strenuousIy insisted upon by many
women: "Thc quickest way to reach a
mans heart is through his stomach
Miss Blizzard kept IL select boarding
house, and among her patrons were Mr..
William D.. Mcbride and Miss Addie
May McDowdell. In view of subsequent
developments, the assumption is war
ranted that Miss Blizzard, liking those
two young people very much indeed,
reached the inevitable feminine on
clusion that the best thing such a nice
couple could do was TO fall in love with
each other as promptly as possible, get
married and live happily ever afterward.
1t was Il genial and friendly conclusion
to reach, and it should not be unsafe to
say that, having arrived at it, Miss Biz
gard lost no time in herself assuming
the role of the god in the machine and
so guiding events as TO inevitably bring
about the final blissful dcnoument upon
which her kindly heart was set. 1t is
easy to understand that, having Mr.. Nc
Bride and Miss McDowdell under the
same roof with her, Miss Blizzard was
mistress of the situation to an unusual
degree, and it is to be presumed that she
worked those two young people one
against the other in every way likely to
make each see the others good points in
the very strongest light possible.
But h did nor With the pulse of
the situation under her touch always, it
would seem that Miss Blizzard knew to
a nicely just when the crucial moment
was reached, and at that crucial mo
ment, knowing that Mr.. McBride's sex
made it imperative that he should take
the initiative in bringing matters to a
climax, the crafty Miss Blizzard played
her strongest card. She prepared n little
supper aimed at the very citadel of Mr..
McBride's affections, and at that supper
she saw to it that Mr.. Mcbride was
helped to the choicest of each and every
dish. The happy man was Toasted like
a lord, with pretty Miss McDowden fac
ing him as he Toasted.
Miss Blizzard rose from the table n
winner. During the very progress of the
momentous repast. Mr.. McBride's heart
melted within his bosom, and, gazing
fondly upon Miss McDowdell, he then
and there challenged hert to become Mrs.
Mcbride. The challenge was accepted,
a license procured, q minister was sum
moned, friends were hidden to the joy
Gus scene and the knot was tied.
Miss Blizzard deserves a roseate i'm
mortality. Her healthy confidence in
the irresistible nature of the conjunc-
ton of good things 10 eat with a pretty
girl to look at warrants the conspicuous
Republic.
