He Won His Bet.

Officer Matt Stukel tells a story OF a
foolhardy feat performed by one OF his
countrymen last Saturday night ia the
lace OF the severe snow storm which was
raging at the time. party OF men who
lived at the Tamarack Junior mine loca.
ton had been having a good time all
evening until after midnight, when they
were gu te hilarious. IN order TO do
something funny one OF the party wanted
to bet another that he could run TO Red
Jacket from the Junior in his bare feet.
The other took him up and the bet was
made Tor six bottles OF the fLest wine.
The rest OF the party were to come in for
the wine and one OF them agreed to fol-
low the runner TO town v 18th his boots
After a good deal OF arguing the
boaster took of bis shoes and socks and.

noticed the man and thought he was in

THE FIRST COTTON MILL
Washington's Diary Fixes Its Location n
Beverly, Mass.


Several different towns in the United
States claim the unique distinction of hav.
Ing erected the first American cotton mill,
but from the best information that can be
obtained it seems that the credit properly
belongs to the town of Beverly, Mass.
The circumstances leading up to this
discovery may be of interest to our read.
ers. Some years ago Mayor Rantoul of
Salem. Mass, was invited to Pawtucket,
X. l., to attend the centennial exercises
held at that place in commemoration of
the opening of the famous Slater mill. In
sending out invitations TO this centennial
event the owners of the mill claimed it to
be the first establishment of its Kind ever.
erected in the United States. For some
reason Mayor Rantoul was unable to be
present at the exercises, but being deeply
interested I'm historical researches he de.
cided at his leisure to investigate the
claims OF the Pawtucket mill owners.
This investigation led to the discovery
that the old cotton mill at Beverly, Mass.
which was burned down in 1888, had been
In operation for several years prior to the
establishment Of the mill at Pawtucket,
and that no less witness than General
Washington himself could be cited in con-
hrmation of the fact. 1t seems that Gen.
eral Washington, while on tour of the
New England states In 1889, made visit
TO the old Beverly cotton mill and was so
impressed with he novelty of the spectacle
that he devoted several pages of his diary
TO It's description. This old diary is still
TO be found among General Washington's
papers.
AS the researches Of Mayor Rantoul
seemed to settle the matter beyond all con-
troversy, the residents of Beverly, Mass,
caused handsome tablet to be erected on
the site of the old mill, commemorating
the establishment of the first enterprise
OF its kind ever inaugurated in the United
States. Atlanta Constitution.

The representative OF the Gendren and

up business for this season. tHesays the
bicycle trade next year will exceed any
previous year from what he can observe,
for the ''craze" has seized people all over
the country and bicycles are selling faster
than ever. The popular demand for a
high-grade wheel at a reasonable price
has had it's effect and the bicycles that
are going to sell this year in large mum.
bers are those which are being offered at
good, fair prices. Nearly all the wheels
have come down in their prices and the
result is that those who formerly could
not afford TO purchase wheels at high
prices are able TO get them at the price
they are now ceiling at.

many neat and nice points about it. but
the difference 10 price is too great.
All the manufacturers realize that

patents have expired on bikes is the
cause OF the reduction in price.

Fire Department Re-
port for 1897 Is
Now Ready.
Fift' en- Alarms Were Sent In
Fire Loss for the Entire Year OsIy
Reaches $500. Which h the
Best for Many Years

About the best argument In favor oi
the present excellent fire fighting facil-
tiles OF Red Jacket and at the same time
agood argument for reduction in the
rates OF insurance of property in the viii
lage Ii the report OF the fire department
on the fires and tre losses in the village
during the past year. The report has
been made out from the statistics OF the
department by Secretary John Hermann
and the document signed by Chief Charles
Schenk will be presented to the council at
their meeting today.
The report breaks all records. II is
the best ever given by the department as
far "a actual losses are concerned. Dur
ing the year the department responded
to no less than fifteen alarms In these
different times they laid and used $3.50
feet OF hose.
The total damage to property In the
village both by fire and water was ap-
proximatsly $3225. The amount OF in
surance received for these losses amounted
to $2725, leaving a loss over the insur-
ance OF but $500. Most OF this was In
one building. the blacksmith shop OF |
Villieneuvs & Young on Sixth street, on
which there was no insurance.
That the department in its present efi.
eient state 10 doing good work is CLEANED
from comparison with the figures with |
past years, when the losses ran up to the
thousands, with less number OF alarms
than was turned in last year. The pres
ent system is as good II not better than
any in the Upper Peninsula. With the
trained teams. the paid men and the
electric bell system in the homes OF all
the fremen. it could not be better with.
olt very great outlay OF money.
Every thing about the engine house is in
good style. There IL plenty Of hose, the
engines are in good working order and
nothing has been left undone that would
in any way improve the service for fire
fighting.
Last years record certainly speaks
volumes TOR the work done by the fire
Iaddies and more than Iustifes the
council for the outlay they have made in
bringing the department up to its pres
ent standard Of ficieney.
