array of witnesses who left here last
week for Marquette, got bewildered in
that city and some OF them also got

that MAP" interceded with the Judge
and saved them heavy fines for con-
tempt.

Mrs. Edith Evans died Tuesday
night of peritonitis. She had but re.
Gently recovered from an attack Of
measles and being ambitious began
doing work which Frustrated her.
She was down town last Friday and
since then was confined to her bed.
Mrs. Evans was about AZ years old and
leaves family of nine children also a
husband with whom she has not lived
for couple Of years. She was hard
working, energetic woman and it is a
sad blow to the children for whom she
has lived and made home.
Many housewives in the city have
had varied and exciting experiences
the past week or two with lightning
yeast. There is nothing that so de-
lights the queen OF the kitchen as to
have yeast that will set bread rails
ing so fast that 1t will upset hatirons
or whatever weight they may endeavor
to hold it down with. A fellow came
along recently selling a bottle full OF
yeast for half dollar and very few
families escaped his persuasive tongue
without purchasing. The remarkable
thing about the affair In these days OF
fakes and frauds and schemes is that
the stuff is genuine and will raise
bread sky high. 1t has lightning in
1t and many a kitchen, bread board,
mixing pan and in fact anything in the
room when the bottle is opened has
got dose OF the liquid. An exper-
fence social on lightning yeast now
would yield good revenue.
