END OF THE SUMMER.
Notes of Indianians Who Still Sojourn
in Northern Michigan.
Special to the indianapolis Journal.

WEQUBTONSING, Mich, Sept. S-North-
ern Michigan not only welcomes her COM
ing, but speeds her parting guests. The
southern trains have added extra sleepers,
and while the excursion trains and hay
fever people are here in numbers, the OBJ
legations of school, business and society are
sending others home. Rumors of extreme
heat in the cities west and south seem
scarcely credible in this cool, bracing atmos-
phere. With moonlight on the bay, and
society still holding the fort. many days and
nights of pure pleasure remain. Miss Belle
Campbell, of Indianapolis who has spent
the summer in Petoskey, has left for home,
and Miss Ida M. Andrews, who has en-
joyed the hospitality of "Bide-a-wee" cot
tage at Wequetonsing, has returned for the
school days that are close at hand. Mrs.
G. c. Ball has taken refuge in Petoskey
from the ills of hay fever. The hay fever
association. that has hitherto met in Pc
toskey, assemblies this year in Marquette.
This change of base only implies that this
whole country, reaching from the shores of
Grand Traverse bay on the south to the
Upper Peninsula, is, in many instances, alb
solutely curative of this much-dreaded dis
ease
Mr.. Henry, an attache of the Grand Hotel
at Indianapolis, has been entertained this
week by his friend Chief Clerk futile, at
the New Arlington Last Saturday the AL

t1aute, are among the people who come to
stay. Mr. John n. Carey, Miss Grace Was

at Charlevoix Inn. Mrs. w. j. Stine of
Kansas City, who lost her valuable dia-
monuS snort time ago at the CharleVOix
swimming pool, has been as yet unable to
trace her treasures. The incident recalls
story of past summers, when 4 lady at the
Arlington Hotel in Petoskey left her money
and diamonds in handbag in the public
nall and bitterly condemned her own care
lsSSneSS when she found her possessions
missing. The theft was traced to a maid
IN the hotel and was discovered only on the
principle that murder will out" The lady.

notoricty or extreme kindness of heart, re-
fused to prosecute the guilty person. The
jewels were artfully hidden in a can of
chase a piano but the value WAS recovered.
Mrs. John B. Carson, who has occupied a
summer cottage under the wing of Hotel
Wequetonsing, and has given her friends
many varied social pleasures, has visited at
Charlevoix Inn during the season, where
many Indiana visitors have enjoyed the
newness and charm of the big hotel. Char
levoix has had a boom. and the success of
the season has exceeded even the widest
hopes. Mrs. Jacob r. Studebaker, of South
Bend, with other members of the family,
have made Charlevoix and the new Airing
ton their headquarters this summer. Fran
chs t. Todd is late arrival.

There is every indication of growth and
Increase in the resort country of northern
Michigan. Your correspondent has visited
the Traverse country from st. Ignace to
the head of Grand Traverse bay, and is
more than ever impressed with the beauty
of this land and the openings that are I'M

center of operations, and the new resorts
on the outer shore are full of promise. MIR.
