occupied. This particularly is true OF
some lronwood aud Sault Ste. Marie gen
tlemen aud it was at the initiative OF the
former department that the change was
made. 1t was thought advisable to
make the date the latter part OF August
rather than advance it into July, as in
the latter case the chances for team prac-
tice would be cut too short. The Iron
wood firemen are preparing for the enter
tainment OF the visiting companies on a
big scale and they want the aid OF every
man among them and several OF the lead
ers are also members of the National
Guard.
As the Ironwoods will not enter the
competitions, thus establishing prece-
dent that will be followed by the home
department in future tournaments, the
members will have all their time to give
to the entertainment OF their guests and
all Ironwood is backing them up in their
good intentions. The town promises to

A New Financial System.

The demand now heard from mer-
chants and manufacturers and bankers
and other intelligent observers in every
part of the country is not for some re-
pairs><'b our financial system, but for a
new system. No government paper can
be free from objection, because its vol
ume and redeemability will depe.2d in
part upon the opinions of congress and
in part upon the opinions of the pres
ident No one can be certain that these
will be correct in all years to come. If
we could be sure that they would al
ways be correct, we could not be sure
that the government would always be
able to maintain q sufficient reserve
for the redemption Of the notes. If the
weight of a pound and the length of a
yard were liable to be changed at any
time by congress, the uncertainty could
hardly be so dangerous as the present
uncertainty regarding the unit of value.
This explains why so many of the men
who do the business of the country, not
alone in the north and east, but also IN
the south and west, demand the with
drawal of the government notes. Iron

A Famous DMnrf.

Godfrey Hudson, the famous dwarf OF
Charles l. was introduced at court during
the festivities attending tho coronation. by
an odd conccit he was concealed in cold
pie, the crust of which, being removed, dis
closed the dwarf fully dressed and making
his bow to the king and queen. At the age
of 20 he was Is inches high, but before at
tanning the age of 80 he grew several inches
additional. Godfrey, like most dwarfs,
was OF limited intelligence, but of intense
vanity and large self conceit 1t Is asserted
by many scientific authorities that this Is
q characteristic of dwarfs.

Of the sheriff that the structure is well

The presentation Of bills contracted in
taking care Of isolating certain cases of
diphtheria launched the board into a
discussion OF the liability of county and
township in such matters. Prosecuting
Attorney Streeter explained that the
statutes regulating and providing for the
care of contagious diseases were mixed,
and that it was hard to determine just
what the legislature intended. An old
statute of 1910 provides that bills con
tracted in taking care OF cases OF small
pox and other contagious diseases" are a
proper charge for she county, provided
the bills are itemized as to the facts IN
each case. later statute deals speciH-
caly with diphtheria and few other dis
eases making the charge a township,
city or village matter, but as it does not
repeal the act OF 1910 the intentions OF
the legislature is not quite clear. A few
years ago the county of st. Clair had
passed a special act providing for each
township in that county taking care OF
such expenses incurred in taking care OF
contagious diseases, which seems to indi-
cate that the statutes provide for the
county assuming them. The board de
sired to arrive at what was right under
the law, and referred the matter to it's at
torney for thorough looking-up OF the
same, The matter is mosU important
and involves a much larger amount than
is represented by the bills before thu
board which precipitated the discussion.

the county would take in the suit for
damages begun by the owners OF the pro-
pellor Maine, which ran into the draw

All that was mortal of Capt. James Ross
was laid to rest yesterday afternoon in
Lake View cemetery. His comrades OF
81 to '65 escorted the remains and did
honor to themselves in honoriDg the
memory OF brave man they respected
and loved. Six veterans, selected by MIR.
Ross himself, carried the casket: Graham
Pope, John hummell. Joseph Haas,
Al. Scott, Arno Jaehnig and ii. B..
Rogers.
After short service at the residence,
the sorrow stricken family was esco, ted
by the post and the Quincy band to the
Congregational church. The edifice was
scarcely large enough to accommodate
the friends. The floral display was
magnificent. The coffin washidden from
view and the altar and church itself was
beautifully decorated.
Rev, j. +. Reilly ofiiciated. He spoke
principally of the cordial church relations
OF the deceased and family and utter, d
what words OF comfort and hope a
christian might entertain. He was fol-
lowed by Graham Pope who with great
eloquence told the story OF his departed
comrades war record. They we're men,
bers OF the same company and the living
could well recount the experiences OF the
dead. His address was long in point OF
time. but short in point OF interest to
every nearer and particularly to the old
boys in blue gathered about the bier.
The procession that followed to the
grave was one OF the longest ever seen in
Hancock, testiiying what place the quiet,
unassuming, brave man had occupied in
the hearts of his neigbbors.
