HEROIC LIFE-SAVERS.
How an Entire Crew, with But One
Exception, Was Lost in an At
tempted Rescue.

District Superintendent Jerome G.
Kiah, with headquarters at Sand Beach,
Michigan, is one of the heroes of the
life-saving service. He holds the gold
medal, the highest award the United
States government can bestow for hero
ism in saving life. His name is associ-
ated with what was both one of the
most daring attempts at rescue and one
of the greatest tragedies of the service
"a tragedy which wiped out an entire
crew with the exception of this sole sur
vivor.
Mr.. Kiah was at the time keeper of
the Point aux Barques life-saving sta
ton on Lake Huron. A vessel struck
too far out to be reached with the shot
and line The peril of attempting a
rescue with surf boat was only too ap-
parent; but Keeper Kiah mustered his
men and made the launch. For awhile
their strength and skill enabled them
to surmount or push through the tu-
multuous seas; but once in the open
lake beyond the shoals, where the
storm was free to riot at will, the real
danger began. 1t was a test beyond
human powers. The keeper remembers
that twice the boat was capsized and
was righted. After that he had vague
recollection of the boat capsizing and
righting herself several times, and of
the crew clinging to it until, one by one,
the surfmen, perishing of cold, let go
their hold, and vanished beneath the
waves. He IS dim remembrance of
the boat, with himself clinging to it,
grating over the shoal, and then being
flung up on shore.
He was found by two men standing
with one hand on the root of fallen
tree, steadying himself with lath in
the other, and swaying as if walking,
but not stirring his feet-a dazed, tot
tering wreck of his former self, mur-
muring in an incoherent way:
Poor boys! Poor boys! They are
all gone--all gone!' Temporarily
shattered in mind and body, he was
obliged to resign from the service He
was long in recovering, but finally it
was possible practically to reward his
bravery with the appointment to his
present position.-Gustav Kobbe, in
Century.

 REAL ESTATE Condition of the Market the Past Week. BIG SALES ARE RARE. INCREASE IN VALUE OF COUNTRY PROPERTY. a Review of the Records, Recent Sales, New Building Contracts
 and General Realty
 Notes.

Business in the realty world Is grad ually assuming long-Iooked-for life aft CT the weeks of continued stagnation that nave characterized it's general progress. with a Knowledge that the war cannot possibly affect the real estate property or this city, the doubt that has heretofore generally existed to the contrary is grad ually disappearing, and sales are becom- ing more common. Together with this fact the brightening prospects that have been indicated for the future by the per- ceptible growth of life In the market during the past week have gone far and done much toward encouraging real es- tate brokers and convincing the general public that the embargo is at last broken.
 The rain which fell in torrents the last few days, although not generally felt as an advantage in this city, has come like a beacon of hope and prosperity to the country markets. The success of the grain and fruit crops means the payment of mortgages, the imminent foreclosure of which meant death to the farmers in- terests and a suspension of real estate progression as a natural consequence. The rain will greatly affect pasture lands and increase their value, which has been steadily deteriorating from the devastat- ing effects of the continued drought.
 City real estate, although expected to show progress before the month is over, made little advance during the past week, the only really important transaction be- ing the sale of the property on Turk and Market streets by A. M. Speck for s150 900

 The merchants of this city expect 10 have a crowd of not less than 30,OOO peo- pie at the race track on Tunnel day, which will be next Saturday. Should this large number attend it will result in raising almost enough money to complete the inter-county road which has been so greatly desired for twenty years.
 Director J. H. w. Sohst of the Mer- chants Exchange has announced that he has assurances from President Williams of the race track that MT. Williams and all the employees of the track will be de- nied their free passes on that day and will have to pay S1 each, so as to swell the Tunnel fund.
 Chairman Schleuter, who has been on the committee to secure the closing or business houses next Saturday afternoon, has made a report that about two-thirds of the merchants had expressed their willingness to give a half-holiday, and he believed that others would close when the day arrived
 Director Gier reports much support in all directions, and Louis Homeier, who will direct the band, will supply the mu- sic free, and has actually bought ticket apiece for his musicians
 The Merchants Exchange has issued the following request to Oakland citizens

 The Second Ward Republicans have or ganized for the campaign, and one of their primary objects is to secure united delegation to the State convention, so that the nomination of the Governor from Ala rneda County will be made possible.
 The insertion of this clause in the con- stitution and bylaws was not decided upon until after a hard struggle. The eff fort to secure it's passage originated with the Pardee members of the club who were largely in the majority. John E. Farnum who presided over the last Coun- ty Republican convention, led the oppo- sition, but was largely outvoted. MT. Farnum is one of the executive commit tee for w. R. Davis, and he opposed the adoption of the unit clause on the ground that such practices had been declared against by the National Republican con- Yention.
 John Russ was elected president. and the following vice-presidents were named: :: J. C. WiXon, C. 4. Bond, Don F. Miller, E. A. Heron and pr. J. l..

 Touching briefly upon the university as a center of moral training, the speaker elicited much applause by concluding with a splendid tribute to Admiral Dewey, holding him up as man whose untiring preparation and unfaltering courage were well worthy of every students emulation. The audience was in a patriotic mood, and it rose en masse to sing as the band played "The Star-spangled Banner"
 The graduates then received their di- plomas from the president of the univers- received doctors degrees, twenty mas ters' degrees, and 211 bachelors degrees.
