bering some seventy-five voters, resi-
dents and electors of said county and

republicans upon guard. That the
famine in India, the rains of last June,
the bounteous harvest and the scarcity
of wheat in other countries, and the

press a great desire to "hog" all of said

of the salaries of all the officers in said
county.

purpose of obtaining reasonable taste
of said pie, prefer judgment against

c. M. CoIwell's So-Called Bargain Store
Has Gone to the Wall.


Has Gone to the Wall.
The transient store owned by c. NJ.
COlwell, of Marine City, which was
moved here from Croswel and opened
for business three months ago, was
closed on Saturday evening last. +. c.
Ilamman, representing Burnham, Stoe-
pei Il Co., Detroit. has since been here
looking after his company's interest.
III. ID. MenZies, of Detroit, accompanied
by deputy sheriff Newell and attorney
G. y HOvey, of Port Huron, were here
this week Wednesday and replevined
a certain amount of the shoe stock be-
longing to the &. +. Smith Shoe Co.
What is left of the stock is in rather
hard shape.
Mr.. Colwell, proprietor of three stores
one at st. Clair, one at Marine City and
the one here, filed a chattel mortgage
amounting to S2S,0 900 including all the
goods at his different stores in favor of
his creditors on Wednesday of last
week. This failure is no exception to
the fate of all transient dealers who
sell goods below cost.
No man should buy of fake dealers
who go about the country, locating in
little towns for a few weeks or a few
months and making great noise about
what they will give away. These fel.
lows are in to make money. They can
not buy legitimate goods any cheaper
than a legitimate dealer, hence you are
sure to get stuck" if you buy of them.
Buy Of your home dealer. He will give
you just as good bargains for the same
class of goods as these fakirs will.
Your home dealers are here at all
times. Their reputation is at stake.
They assist you and you should assist
them. They pay taxes and give assist
ance at any time when assistance is
needed. They contribute to your So
cieties, your churches, schools, any
legitimate and good cause, while the
fakir comes in for couple of weeks or
so, takes your money and gives moth
ing but shoddy in return. Look out
for the fakir. Give him severe let
ting alone and thus assist in the well
fare and prosperity of your village.

Mondays vote on bonding the village
for $4,000 to put i'll Waterworks and
Electric Lights was largely in its
favor, 263 votes in all were cast,-lS3
voting for and II against. This is as
it should be, our village is in forma-
tive period, and an adverse vote
against such improvements would have
tendency to retard its progress for
years to come, as several public and
private enterprises hinged on its ac
ceptance or rejection, and it is now
confidently expected that Yale will
have quite boom in the near future
$4,000 hotel and several handsome
residences are already in contempla-
| tion which would not be erected if
these improvements were denied them.
A strange feature in the voting con-
sisted in the fact that the largest tax
payers, with few exceptions, were in
favor of the measure and worked hard
| for its success, while its strongest op-
ponents were mainly in the ranks of
small holders of property, many of
them paying less than $500 a year
taxes. This appears strange, and
against the interest of that class who
depend upon days labor for their daily
bread, and who, in the past, have not
had steady work enough to keep them
in comfort; and II ought to be apparent
to every one that the erection of a
$20, 900 plant must of necessity create
a large demand for labor, and conse-
quently larger prices than they have
been getting.
Now that the Waterworks and
Electric Lighting Plant is an assured
fact, let those having the conduct OF
affairs act wisely and prudently, no
need of undue haste in the matter, let
every pledge made in inducing the
people to vote in its favor be honestly
carried out. Let the sale of the village
bonds be widely advertised. Also in
advertising for bids on the several
contracts, the agreement should be
carried out faithfully that none but
Yale labor, so far as 1t goes, should be
done on the works.

does not answer! Can it be that she Is suffocated or burned to death'
 Edgar felt his way through the smoke from room to room, but found Bertha no- where. He dashed into the garden, and there under a tree sat Bertha crying as though her heart would break.
 "Oh! Edgar" she exclaimed, as he rush. ed to her. q tried to make a fire, and 1t all went wrong, and I'm afraid I've set the house on fire"
 You are safe! I care for nothing else" said Edgar. as he entered the door to see what could be done toward extinguishing the flames. gs 7. When he got to the kitchen the mys- -tery was explained. Bertha had built the sire In the oven of the stove. E In short time Edgar had the smoke seut of the house and bright fire going. stie had found provisions enough to make a meal and had engaged a girl from the farmhouse to come and do the work but she could not come for three days.
 "Do you think we can possibly get along til then, darling?" asked Edgar.
 "Oh, yes, indeed!" replied Bertha. "Now everything is going all right. I will boil some of those nice fresh eggs you have brought, and make coffee, and we will have something to eat. You may go away, for T1 want to do it all myself I know how 1to make coffee I've made 1t at church fairs, and of course there's nothing to do ito boil eggs except to put them into boil ting water"
 c That's all; only be sure to boil mine soft. I hate a hard egg" and with this parting injunction Edgar disappeared
 It took Bertha some time to get their meal on the table, but 1t was ready. at last and Edgar said nothing could look more tempting than their little luncheon It consisted of cold meat, sardines, fresh homemade bread, sweet country butter, honey and eggs.
 "I do hope it will taste good," said Ber- tha, as Edgar broke an egg into his egg. cup
 didn't you, darling?" said Edgar.
 why? Isn't it soft, dear?" replied Ber- tha. "It ought to be. I thought I boiled it long enough to boil it soft. Ought not twenty minutes to be time enough to boil san egg soft?"
 Well. yes, if boiling made eggs soft."

 his arrival in this country, will be the
 guest of George w. Childs Drexe, son of
 Anthony Drexe and editor of a Philadel-
 phia newspaper. During his visit he will
 traverse the entire breadth of the country
 and will be the recipient of such hospitali- Fty as is customary with the American peo- sple. A few words of the heraldic line of sthe much talked of visitor is apropos at athis time.
 His Majesty is first cousin to Queen Vic atoria. His mother was Princess Louise of 1Orleans, daughter of Louis Phillippe; and
 as it is a characteristic trait of his, that Ihe never wears gloves, it is looked upon 4mpre as a proof that he is proud of his sdescent from the Orleans family, who were noted for their exquisitely shaped hands, than to the fact that his own hands are svery beautiful and aristocratic in their Hines.
 Leopold was born at Brussels, April g,
 1885, succeeded to the throne December 10,
 1865, and has ruled continuously since that period. In 1s4O he was created the Duke of Brabant, and this title has since been recognized as that of the heir apparent to the Belgian throne. He took his seat in 5fthe senate on reaching his majority in 1&b.
 sWhoever studies the physiognomy of txeopold IT. cannot fail to be struck with sthe51Tfglds LOOK or his countenance, which rather repels advances and this physiog-
 homy does not belle the king. He is not, and cannot be, a favorite with men. He lacks the personal gifts to attract them, and he lacks, besides, his fathers astute wisdom to manipulate them; and this is not much because he is wanting in in- teligence as that imagination and the softer qualities are little developed in his nature
 7 In 1853. before his accession to the throne, he married the Archduchess Marie Henri ,ette, of Austria Hungary. Four children were the result of their union-the Duke of Brabant whom they were to lose all too soon, and three princesses. The detail- ed itinerary of his journey on this side has not yet been announced
The age-herald., 1898-09-11

King Leopold does not come under this list of phlegmatists. He is known the world over as real jolly old chap, whose inordinate ambition in life is the gratifi- cation of his whimsical fancies
 He has ruled the Belgians for thirty three long years, proving himself in that time what the diplomatists term "Safe Sovereign" He has not been ambitious, neither has he been troublesome; the Bel gians are contented and Leopold with a just realization of his official position, is thoroughly satisfied with his job. It has been frequently intimated by European critics during the past ten years that Leo- pold IT., King of the Belgians. was rapidly cultivatng a tendency for gaiety, entirely beyond the bounds of Belgian propriety.
 We have heard and noted, on several oc- casions during the past five years of the sensational escapades in Paris, indulged in by our expected visitor. His favorite amusement has been in travelling about Europe incognito, always attended by his faithful ally and companion, Oswald Pap penience.
 LOT IN PARIS.
 It was only last April that Leopold IT. was discovered in Paris enjoying himself in the good old-fashioned style, charac- teristic of the Latin quarter. Leopold had been lost for three week, couriers were scurrying about all Europe, searching for the representative head of the Belgians.
 When they found him-Leopold was sorry he had been having one grand sortie of convivial debauching; he had revelled in the pleasurable companionship of the "demi-mondaines," and he didn't care who knew 1t; he had started out to get his moneys worth, and according to the sto-ta ries his Highness had succeeded in thor oughly enjoying himself.
 The name of Cleo de Merode is known throughout all Europe. The creation of king. the subsequent premeire artist of vaudeville of the gay Parisian capital from obscurity to renown in single night, from poverty to .opulence and all through the magic waving of Leopold's wand.

wife said was to stay here and tell you, and to say that they took him to the hos pital at E. and she had gone with him to take care of him."
 Poor Martini" exclaimed Edgar. We will see that he has every comfort and at tention. But what shall we do? Here we are six miles from the nearest hotel, and in a famished condition. I wonder if we could not get dinner at one of the farm houses near, and then I will go into the village and try to find cook. Or shall honeymoon at Saratoga, as your mother suggested?"
 "No indeed" emphatically replied Bar- tha. We are not going to give in 50 easily. have no doubt you will be able to buy bread and milk and cold meat at one of the farmhouses, and I will set the table and we will get our first meal all by olff- selves. If we had a fire we could make coffee. Do you know how to make a fire, Edgar?"
 "Oh, of course! but I will wait tilll l return from the farmhouse with what I am able to buy there." ,o
 They entered the house and found 1t the most charming little home imaginable. It was perfect from cellar to parlor, and such cunning little rooms! Bertha declared she wanted to live there all her life. ''
 Edgar got the firewood and placed 1t by the kitchen stove in readiness to build the fire on his return, and kissing Bertha goodbye, started for the nearest farm house.
 He had no sooner gone than Bertha con- ceived the idea of building the fire and having the table set and the coffee made before his return. "How pleased he will be- she said to herself. 'to see me play ing housewife when he comes back!"
 But how to begin? that was the ques- tion. Edgar had brought small kindllng wood and left paper and matches all ready to start the fire. Of course the way to do was to light the paper and then put in the fine wood first and then the larger sticks. So Bertha began to make her first fire

meekly responded Edgar. "I'm not much of a cook, but I've been camping often enough to know that the difference between eggs and potatoes is that boiling makes potatoes soft and eggs hard. But never mind, it's all right. You will learn by ex- perience, my dear"
 "Oh, dear, how stupid I am!'' said Ber- tha, as her eyes filled with tears. Aunt Martha was right. I ought to have learn ed something about housekeeping before I was married. I will spend all next win ter at a cooking school. Or, better still, Edgar, let us send for Aunt Martha. I know she will come and teach me here, and will spend my honeymoon in learn ing to be a useful wife"
 Edgar thought he had never loved Der tha so much as he did at that moment when the true woman asserted herself for all of her fashionable training, and when in response to their urgent telegram Aunt Martha appeared the next day and Edgar watched the teacher and pupil going through their lessons he said to himself a hundred times that Bertha had never been half so charming in her prettiest party dress as she was with her sleeves rolled up to her elbows and her hands covered with flour as she mixed bread or made pies or cake.
 It Is not to be supposed that Bertha at once became a wonderful housekeeper. That would be too much to expect. Chick ems were cooked with their crops in bread was mixed entirely with yeast, the market man was startled by being asked for about a quarter of yard of beefsteak, and many other remarkable things happened before the month was over. But at the end of their honeymoon both Edgar and Bertha were satisfied as to the way it had passed, and the night before they started for New York, as Edgar, Bertha and Aunt Martha sat down to well-cooked and well-served dinner, all Berthas work, Edgar could not but exclaim:
 "All honor to good Aunt Martha! She was right"
 "Yes," broke in Bertha. "We have had an original honeymoon"
