Something to knOw.

1t may be worth something to know
that the very best medicine for restoring
the tired-out, nervous system to heal
tby'vigor is Electric Bitters. This medl-
cine is purely vegetable, acts by giving
tone to the nerve centres in the stomach,
gently stimulates the liver and kidneys,
and aids these organs in throwing off i'm
purities in the blood. Electric Btters i'm
proves the appetite, aids digestion and is
pronounced by those who have tried it
as the very best blood purifier and nerve
tonic. Try 1t. Sold for so cents or 81

And Two Arrests Were Made.
Seer Glasses and Bottles Figured
Prominently I'm the Fray-The
BnrmRid Agatn-EAeOnies

There was n row last Saturday night
in the saloon oil Vincent Vairo X Go. on
Fifth street, adjoining Haas clothing
store, There had been more or less
racket in the place all evening, as 1t was
crowded with men who were spending
money freely. About IL O'Clock some
young fellows, who had been drinking
all evening, got mixed up in free-for-all
fight, during which several blows were
struck. But the fists did not have the
desired effect in every case and soon beer
glasses and bottles were hurled across
the room.
About this time Officer Beck, who had
heard the trouble arrived on the scene,
followed closely by Officer Murphy. The
two nighwatchmen were IT first unable
to do anything, a. the saloon WAS 80
crowded that an entrance could hardly
be effected. However, when the scrap
pers heard the officers they made their es-
cape and the officers closed up the sa-
loon. Two arrests have been made and
the trial will come off before Judge Fisher
next Thu 'sday.
One Young man, whose name the OFF,
GERS know, was badly cur up in the fraces,
a flying beer glass having hit him square
ly in the forehead over the leit eye. The
glass smashed into Il hundred small
pieces, some of which cut him severely.
His head was full Of small bits of glass
and physician had TO be summoned to
dress his wounds.
The trouble is supposed TO have com
menced on account OF barmeid who is
said 10 be employed at the place, al
though she made her escape before the
officers got into the saloon. The saloon
is said to have a barmaid IN its employ
all the time aud tie same girl has been
working there for many months.
One fellow, who was too drunk to
stand up and who made trouble after the
saloon was closed, was taken TO the
cooler by the officers and was up in court |
on the charge of common" drunk.

Largely Attended Funeral.

The funeral of the late Samuel L. Davey
took place yesterday afternoon and was
very largely attended. Beside Calumet
Tent, X. o. T. NJ, unusually large dele
cations from the tents at Lake Linden,
Dollar Bay, Hancock, Houghton aud
South Lake Linden attended the services
and $50 members Of the sLaurium and
Calumet tents were in line. Services
took placs at the Calumet M. Z. church
and the funeral sermon was preached by
the pastor, Rev. James NJ. Kerridee.
The remains were laid at rest beside
those OF his wife and daughter at School
craft cemetery.
The late Mr.. Davey was one Of the best
members of Calumet Tent and always
had the interests of the organization at
heart. He had the distinction OF being
the only member OF the order residing
here who was enc OF the "700," so well
known to every Maccabee. There was a
time when the Michigan contingent Of
the order was so small that it was en-
braced in Canadian division. When an
application for separate district was
made and could not be sec ured, seven
hundred Michigan members broke away
and formed an organization oil their
own. That 700 has now grown to be
nearly 10000. Mr.. Dayey was one ol
those whose faith in the ultimate success
OF the move made him promote it.

The Northwestern gravel roofing COM
pany has just completed roofing Merz's
building on Fifth street. 1t is the first
job the company has done here and re-
fleets credit upon them. Gravel roofing
is something new here, although it is
used almost exclusively in the city, but it
is sure to be used in the future. The
roof is first coated with felt paper and
pitch is put on top. Then the gravel is
spread over this and keeps it from being
affected by the Gun or rain.
