a Perfect Success.

Erin Go Bragh; or, the Irish
Rebel, rendered at the Opera
House Wednesday evening, was
witnessed by large and very
appreciative audience, and the
excellent manner in which each
participant performed his or her
respective part, commanded great
credit. Indeed it is very seldom
that professional troupe has
visited this city and rendered as
fine an entertainment.
The proceeds which, we under
stand, amounted to nearly one
hundred dollars, will be used
toward completing the new church
of the Sacred Heart. Rev. Father
Joisten, who had charge oi
entertainment, is entitled to great
credit for the successful manner
in which everything passed off.

A Sad Misfortune.

James c. Columbus, formerly
OF this town, met with a serious
accident at Cody g. Adds lumber
camp, near Nestoria, Saturday
last. 1t appears that while driving,
in some manner he fell from
the sleigh, and one of his legs
was caught by the runner and
the flesh terribly lascerated. He
was taken to st. Mary's Hospital
at Marquette.
Yesterday j. Albert Smith, who
is a cousin of Mr.. Columbus. re-
ceived dispatch, and left for Mar
quette on the afternoon train
1t is stated that gangrene has
set in, and the unfortunate man
will be obliged to have the leg
amputated. The accident may
cost Mr.. Columbus his life.

PITZSIMMONS WON !!
lie Is Now Champion Heavy
weight Pugiiist Of
the World.
He Nanquished James j. Cor
bett in Fourteen Hot
Rounds.
COrOett Had the Best of 1t
For the First Ten
Rounds.
Over 5000 People Witnessed the
Bloody Battle Great Ex-
citement Prevailed.

CARSON CITY, New, March H.
Under "a clear sky and in II valley
), 900 feet above the sea, circled by
snow-capped mountains, which
! glistened in the bright sunlight,
making picture such as was never
seen before on an occasion of the
kind, James j. Corbett went down
to defeat before Robert Fitzsimmons,
who became the champion heavy
weight pugilist of the world The
victory was not gained without a
struggle; in fact victory did not
seem possible for Fitzsimmons until
the last moment of the battle. He
was giving every indication of slow
ly gong to pieces when he delivered
a blow in u vital part and followed
it with two others which sent Cor
betG to the floor with the agony of
pain and despair imprinted on his
face and he was unable to rise with
in the limit which would save him.
When the defeated champion finally
arose with the assistance of his at
tendants and recovered sufficiently
from his dazed condition to realize
the calamity that had bcfallcn him
be broke out with all the fury of an
enraged animal, and discarding all
the rules which govern the art OF
which he is disciple rushed at his
victorious opponent and made vain
struggle 10 beat him over the ropes,
only dcsisting when his owa seconds
and friends forced him away. And
then the new champion was borne
to his dressing room amid the cheers
of the 1900 people who were in the
arena, accompanied by his seconds
and trainers, and also by his wife,
who had watched the contest from a
position within a few feet of the
ringSide, and who had taken in every
detail, even at the time when it
seemed that her husband would be-
knocked insensible at her feet
1t was great contest, but not
wthstanding the cheers for the
victor, the majority OF those who
witnessed the fight could not but
feel sense OF disappointment at the
result, believing as they did that
victory was taken from Corbett at "a
moment when he seemed sure of
gaining it himself. The contest was
accompanied by the usual delays
which attend such affairs, due large
ly to wait for the hour when the
sunlight would be brightest, so that
the new electrical device-thc
vcrascope which was located at
the ringsidc, would be able TO obtain
the best results in taking an actual
living picture ofthe fight. For two
hours before the men entered the
ring the crowds gathered in the
arena, a temporary structure of vast
dimensions, having the canvas
covered ring in the center, with row
after row of plain boards, each ris
ing from each side and with no
covering but the clear blue sky above.
1t was moment after the noon
hour when the principals and their
seconds appeared, and both were
greeted with great cheers. George

The Governors Proclamation.
COMMONWEALTH OF MICHIGAN.
Executive Office,
Lansing, March 10, 1897.

Executive Office,
Lansing, March 10, 1897. !
To the Voters of Michigau:
The Legislature of this state, by "a
practically unanimous vote, and
without party division, has voted
to amend the constitution of this
state, SO that hereafter the attorney
general shall reside at the capitol
during his official term, and give all
of his time and strength to the
duties of his Office.
In return for this work they have
said that he shall receive three
thousand five hundred dollars
(S3, 800 year, instead of eight
hundred, which was put in the con
stitution nearly 80 years ago, with
the understanding that as there was
then little for the attorney general
to do, he could give nearly all of his
time to his own business.
approve of this amendment. and
now that it has been submitted to
you for the purpose of determining
whether you will ratify and approve
that which your representative
have already done, | desire to ad-
dress you in advocacy of this amend
ment, by using the strongest
language that / can command.
AS your governor, chosen by you
to execute the laws, am anxious to
do SO to best of my ability. But ON
a moment S reflection, you will see
that it is absolutely necessary If any
work is to be done which has for its
object the defense of your rights and
the protection of your interests, that
the time of the attorney general
must be taken up. His place is here
at the capitol. But it is wrong to
ask that this service be performed,
unless some provision is made for
his pay. Unless you, as voters Of
this state, are willing to ratify this
amendment, then one of three
things must follow: Either that no
attempt shall be made to protect
your interests, or that the attorney
general must work practically for
nothing, or the custom be continued
of hiring outside attorneys and pay
ing them literally for doing the
work which you elect the attorney
general to perform.
The simple fact is, as shown by
the official records, you have paid
out for this service, on an average,
much more per year than the
amount named in this amendment.
What the state Of Michigan has lost
by reason of it's refusal to pay a
decent salary to good attorney. no
man can tell; in my judgment it
would run into the millions. The
proposed amendmentwould cost the
average taxpayer SO much less than
cent year that it would be diff
ficult to compute.
In the interest, then, of good
government, in the interest OF
economy, and as one determined, so
far as | can, to protect and defend
your rights, Task you to vote Eyes '
on the proposition to amend thacon.
stitution as submitted to you.
Very respectfully,
Fl. S. PINGREE, Governor.

OFF. CIAL REPORT
Of the Finance Committee of the

L'ANsE, Mich, March 13, 1897.
We have carefully examined the
books of the clerk, treasurer and
marshal, and find that they were
correctly kept and agree with the
clerk 5 annual report. On account
of the great fire in this village on
May 9th, 1896, and the washout of
the Bay Shore road, with the ex-
pense of the extension OF the water
system 9l2 feet on the Bay Shore,
the village has been put to an extra
expense of 81, 1897, as shown by
the following statement given by
the clerk.

According to the above statement
it will be plainly seen that if the
village had not had an un-
fortunate year as above stated, and |
but for the extension of the water
system 9l2 feet, there would have
been on March 1st, 1897, in the vii
lage treasury $7i0.79, instead OF |
accounts payable to the amount of |
81 ,0429l
We do further state that the item
in the above statement Of 1927. ~,
for bridges, is an account held |
against the township of L'Anse.
The village also has suits against |
two insurance companies, which in
wolves an amount OF about 81 900, |
and we feel very confident of the
village being successful in said suits
