Has Passed the House.

Washington, Jan. THE Loud
bill to amend the law relating to
second-class mail matter passed the
house yesterday by vote of 144 to
lO5. The most important provisions
of the bill denies the serial publica-
tions admission to the mails at
cent per pound rates. The bill also
denies to newspapers the Sample
copy" privilege, and the privilege
enjoyed by newsdealcrs of returning
unsold publications at the second
class rate. The only other import
ant change in the present law pro-
vides that publishers whose publ
cations are admitted as second-class
matter shall be required before de-
posting such mail matter in the
postof1ice, to separate the same into
United States mail sacks or bundles,
by states, cities, towns and counties,
as the postmaster-genera shall
direct.

1T IS SPOILED NOW.
Practice of Letting Lands Go For
TaXes--An Important Deci-
sion by Supreme Court.

Lansing, Mich. Jan. 5.-The su.
preme court made a ruling of vast
Importance, in the case of Peter
| Muirhead VS. Louis Sands, today.
Every tax title dealer and large
property owner in the state has
been anxiously awaiting the filing
of the opinion for several months.
Louis Sands, the Manistee lumber
man, had been in the habit of per-
mitting his lands to be returned for
taxes and then, when he got around
to it, defeat the tax titles. In De-
cember' 1895, Muirhead secured a
tax deed of some 80 acres of land,
which Sands had permitted to be
sold for the taxes of 1891, at the
sale of 1893. Sands attacked the
tax title in the Kalkaska circuit
court, alleging numerous reasons
for its invalidity, but the court de-
cided against him, and he appealed
to the supreme court, which today
affirmed the judgment.
In affirming the judgment, the
court concludes that, under the tax
law OF 1893, tax sales can be set
aside only in case where taxes have
been paid and the sale, therefore,
improperly made, or when property
exempt from taxation had been in
cluded in the sale. This is, of course,
in case that all proceedings subse-
quent to the confirmation of the sale
have been regular
While this may work hardships
in some cases, the court says the
law was devised for the purpose of
requiring property owners to pay
their taxes, and that it is the result
of many years of sturdy investiga-
ton. 1t is not inclined, therefore,
to fritter away the results obtained
by the statute by making forced de-
cisions. Under this decision, all
the sales for taxes of 1891 are valid
save in the instances above men
toned. Many thousand dollars
worth of property in all parts of the
state are affected by this decision.
1t is estimated that over 30, 900
acres of land in Baraga county
besides many village lots in both
L'Anse and Baraga, will be affected
by the above decision of the SUI
preme court. Henceforth tax
payers will doubtless be more
prompt.

COpperdOm's Mildest Winter.

The following is taken from the
copper country department of the
Mining Journal of Monday:
THE unreasonable weather thus
far this season has diverted atten-
tion on the subject to the winter of
1S77-7S, the mildest in the history
of Portage Lake. The steamer
Annie l.. Smith piled continually
between l. 'Anse and Houghton un-
til January 10. On that evening
the boat lay ut Smith Il Harris
dock, now Pope's, and the captain
and the clerk, Mr.. Smith, accepted
invitation to attend church social.
On their return to the craft it was
frozen in at its moorings at the
dock; the boat crew attended no
more church gatherings that winter
Early in March, 1873, the boat re-
sumed her trips to l. Anse, which
continued uninterrupted the balance
of the season. New Years day of
1873 was passed by a great many
in sailing on Portage Lake, and an
excursion on q pleasure scow was
seriously contemplated and would
have been held but for heavy fog
! the previous day.

"LAUGH AND GROW FAT"
The Minstrel Entertainment to
BE Given in This City Sat-
urday Evening, JAN
uary 10Th.

The L'Anse Ideal Minstrels will
give an entertainment at the Opera
House, in this city, Saturday
evening of next week, the 10th inst.
Everything possible is being done
to give the.public good entertain
ment, and Notwithstanding the fact
that it will be home talent, "
all who attend will doubtless see
as good show as many profession
ais give who make business of
travelling throughout the country.
The entertainment is gotten up in
the interest of good cause,
as the proceeds are to be equally
divided between the NJ. E. church
and st. Joseph S church, of L'Anse.
Consequently it is earnestly desired
that the attendance be as large as
possible. All are assured plenty of
fun and the worth of their money.
Tickets will be placed on sale at S.

morning at 8 o'clock, and may be

M. ]. McCabe left for Canada
Tuesday, where he will visit for a
few days.
Will Cameron, of Iron Mountain,
was the guest of his cousin, Miss
Agnes Shields the fore part OF the
week.
Charles Sundberg, conductor on
the d., S. S. & A. road, states
that the matter regarding his
taking up of a mileage book from a
travelling man the fore part of
last month, an account of which
was published in the Calumet Even
ing News and reprinted in The
SENTINEL, was not correct in
several respects. He did take
up the book, which, according to the
date stamped thereon, had expired,
and upon explaining the matter to
the travelling man, it was satisfactory.
There was some delay in receiving
an answer to telegram sent by the
conductor to headquarters at Mar
quette, but when the train was
due to leave Houghton on the
return trip, word had been re-
ceived to issue q new book, which
was done. There was no warrant
issued against Mr.. Sundberg, as
stated, and his train left exactly
on time The above explanation
is given simply to set the matter
right.

To Thaw out Frozen Water Pipes

Place unslacked lime around the
pipes. cover with straw and then
pour on water. The heat generated
by the Stacking of the lime will thaw
out the pipe if the operation is
properly carried out. Pipes may
also be protected from freezing by
first wrapping with straw, then
putting on layer of unslacked lime,
aud finally again covering with
straw. The gradual Stacking of the
lime by the moisture OF the atmos-
phere evolves sufficient heat to pre-
vent water pipes freezing for a
whole eason.-Popular Science

Public School Notes.
(Correspondence.D }


The schools have opened for the
new year. 1t is hoped that parents
have in their New Year resolutions,
not forgotten the schools. Would
it not be good plan to visit at
least once a month, and see what is
being done?
A class in bookkeeping is being
organized. Eight have signified
their intention of taking up this
study.
The pupils of the high school are
organizing themselves into two
literary societies, the object of which
is to develop the powers of declaim-
ing. No pupil should leave the pub
lie schools without being able to ex-
press his thoughts intelligently be-
fore an audience. The literary work
will be great aid to accomplish
this result.
The following named pupils were
neither absent nor tardy for the
four months term ending December
Is, 1896:

The eyes OF the pupils of the high
school have been examined, with the
following results: Out of 81 that
were treated, only IL were found to
possess perfect eyes. or the re-
mainder twenty-three were affected,
in a greater or less degree, with
myopia (near-sightedness), and two
with hyperopia (far-sightedness).
Astigmatism of a low degree was de-
tected in more than one-half OF
those tested
Numerous tests made in different
schools of the country bear out the
statement that near-sightedness is
an acquired defect, result of close
application, and is not so prevalent
among pupils of the lower grades,
whereas, far-sightedness is congeni-
tai and as likely to be found among
pupils of the lower grades as among
those doing advanced work. A note
of warning should be sounded.
Numberless eyes have been ruined
through delay in securing glasses
properly fitted by some competent
Ontician

Of the hOslss range all tho way from

In the Milwaukee river the Ice jam
which formed yesterday at SRuXVills
lOoSered this morning and let down the
immense volume OF water which had
banked up In the rear Of It. The water
carried the ice down to the crest Of the
Milwaukee dam ut North avenue. There
It was topped by the pillars Of the foot
of the bridge over the dam. 1t piled in
a solid mass against these early In the
morning and kept accommodating oil day.
About o'clock this afternoon the jag.
ged cakes of Ice were piled up against
The rail- OF the foot bridge and extended
for milo back Of II Into the river,
which was constantly getting higher.
The Ice lOOsened the stone pillars
which supported the foot bridge and
carried away seYenty-lve feet OF the
structure This left an opening for the
waters and In short time the immense
field OF fee had thrown itself into the
river below the dam This rose rapid

experienced since the breaking Of the
dam fifteen years ago.
The river is within two feet OF the
