Successful Test of a New Air
IS Brake.

The following, taken from the De-
troit Free Press of the 25th ult.,
will interest the people of Baraga
county, as one of the men mentioned
is Mahlon Mauger, who was a resi-
dent of L'Anse for many years, and
who removed to Detroit about one
year and half ago:
"An experimental trip was made
Thursday over the Rapid railway to
Mt. Clemens and return for the pur
pose of testing new air-brake in
vented by Dennis Beemer, Of this
city, and the many steam and elec
trio railway experts who were pres
ent pronounced the trial a most
satisfactory one. In Mr.. Beemer S
system, no dynamo or steam power
is necessary to work the brake. The
latter is geared on one Of the axles
of the car, and works while the car
is in motion, operating cylinder
which forces air into tanks and com
presses it there. These tanks may
be regulated to any pressure. This
brake will be manufactured in this
city by the Sellers, Beemer Il
Mauger Airbrake company, the
members of which are all De-
troiters.

Terrible Loss Of Life at a Pharm-
aceutical Works, At
Kalamazoo.
TEN BODIES RECOVERED.
Feared That Many Bodies May
Still BE Buried In
the Ruins.

kalamazoo, Mich, March L. Fire
and an explosion in the Hall Bros. ;
pharmaceutical works caused the
death of ten men. A score are more
or less injured, some with legs, hands
and faces mangled or blown off, and
others with their backs broken or
MANNED in some other way. The
dead: Joseph Clifford, spectator;
George Halliday, fireman; Patrick
AicHugh, fireman; John Hastings,
spectator; Charles Whiting, specta
tor; James Quigley, spectator; Will
liam Wagner, fireman; l.. l.. Holo-
way, druggist; Frank Auwers,
spectator; Eugene Dele, fireman.
The last body found was that of
Clifford. which was taken from the
ruins at o clock in the afternoon.
Two men named Phillips and West
are reported missing, and it is fear
ed that their bodies may be in the
ruins, as West was seen with Cliff
ford just before the explosion oc-
Cured. Quigley came here two
months ago from Chicago, where he
had a cigar factory and store at
1922 State street. The building was
four-story structure, occupied
jointly by Hall Bros. and the Kala-
mtzoo Paper-Box company, the lat
ter concern having the two upper
floors. The total loss is about $780,
600, about S25. 900 being sustained
by Hall Bros. The explosion is
supposed to have been caused by the
ignition of nitrous ether, but the
origin of the fire cannot be ac-
counted for. The explosion shook
the whole city and the dead and in
jured were thrown from twenty to
tifty feet

ID. j. Carson Treasurer Elect Of
Dubois, Pa.-His Magnifi-
cent Victory.

The following dispatch from Du-
Bois, taken from the Pennsylvania
Grit of Feb. Goth, will be of mucls
local interest, as it pertains to tho
success of d. ]. Carson, who was a
resident of this county q number of
years ago and who is termed by his
host Of friends in this portion of the
upper peninsula rs wholc-souled,
genial exit" Carson. All will be-
highly pleased to learn of his good
fortune:
"Mr. d. j. Carson, the newly
elected treasurer of Dubois borough.
bears the distinction Of having been
ushered into Office with the largest
plurality ever secured by any can
didate in the history of the town
elections. His vote was 824 out of a
total of 1850 cast. He carried
every ward by a handsome majority.
Mr.. Carson was born at Marion
Center, Indiana county, 81 years
ago. He came to Dubois in 1888 as
q laborer in the employ of the b., r.
u z. r ", BY efficient and honest
service he was promoted to the
position of master carpenter of the
road, in which capacity be still
serves. Mr.. Carson never before
served in any political office aside
from a brief term in the Dubois
council in lS94-95. He has always
been staunch Republican and his
large vote in the town attests his
popularity and the high esteem in
which he is held. "

his successor, Rev. Gabriel Richard,
who had been transferred from
Kaskaskia, Illinois, to become fa-
miliar with the situation at Detroit.
The parochial jurisdiction of st.
Anne comprised large portion of
the Northwest Territory as then con-
stituted. 1t extended from the
headquarters of Lake Erie to the
Sault de Ste. Marie, and beyond
these rapids to distant points in
Lake Superior. 1t included the
shores and islands OF Lake Huron,
Michigan, and the Georgian Bay in
the northwest; the south shores Of
Lake Michigan, the territory cover
ed at the present time by Chicago,
Green Bay and the regions tributary
to the ST. Joseph river. 1t included
all OF Michigan, portions of Ohio,
Illinois, Indiana, Minnesota and
Wisconsin, as these states are at
present constituted.
Throughout this extensive lake
region, which had been sanctificd by
the blood as well as by the labors OF
some of the most distinguished mis-
sionaries of the church during near
ly all the seventeenth century, there
dwelt during the first four decades
of the present century several Of the
most prominent western and north
western nations of the extensive
Algonququian confederacy, including
the Chippewas, the Ottawas, the
Illinois, the Menominees, the Miamis,
the Kickapoos, the Pottawotomis,
and colony OF several thousand
people of the Oneida nation Of New
York, who had settled upon the
shores of Fox River, in the present

state of Wisconsin. With the ex-
ception of the Iroquoian colony, the
other nations had occupied the soil
for centuries, while their popula-
tion far exceeded that of the same
nations during the missionary
periods of the seventeenth century.
The most ancient was the Chip
pewa nation, which, according to
General Cass, had been hereditary
custodians of the council fire of the
Algonquian confederation from re-
mote centuries. After Father Richard
had visited that portion of his parish
lying between the River Raisin and
Lake st. Clair, he determined to
ascertain how much of christianity
had remained among the copper
colored races of the western and
northwestern dependencies of the
parish of ST. Anne. He embarked
in June, 1899, on board a trading
schooner bound for the Island of
Mackinac, which after stormy voy-
age, he finally reached. Puther S
Island at the time was one of the
most extensive trading posts of the
American Fur company. 1t had
been the centre of an extensive OF
tawa mission during the seventeenth
and eighteenth centuries. 1t oc-
currs to me to introduce some testi-
mony as to the success of Father
Richards missionary work among
the Ottawas of the lakes, about the
time he found the assistance
of his protege, Father Francis
Vincent Badin, available. 1t
is from the pen Of Colonel
Thomas Lorraine McKenney, Of the
bureau of Indian affairs, Washing
ton, DC. This account was written
in series of letters to his family,
which in 1927, were published by
Fielding Lucas, jr., Baltimore, under
the title of ''Tour to the Lakes" 1t
is an octave volume of 494 pages, il

lustrated with original sketches in
colored Autographs OF Indian chiefs,
Indian life, places of note, councils,
etc. On their way from Mackinac
to the Sault, the expedition made
detour to visit Drummond' s Island,
where a battalion of British troops
and the sub-agent of British Indian
affairs in the west were stationed.
1t was in the month of July, and the
following is Colonel McKenney S ac-
count of this visit: con landing
we found there several officers of the
post; we were received with great
courtesy and invited to their quar-
ters. After having taken wine with
the officers, Captain Anderson, who
was in command, showed US the
garden and accompanied us to the
Indian lodges. There remained OF
the 1900 who had been there to re-
ceive presents about 600, principally
Ottawas. Their lodges were in fine
order aud filled with many comforts,
and themselves well clothed. After
having visited them pretty generally,
we arrived nearly opposite Captain
Anderson's quarters, when he in
vited us to take tea, adding Mrs.
Anderson s request to his own. AS
we neared the house, my attention
was attracted to a building not far
off, in which some persons were
singing. | inquired what it meant
The captain answered, The Indians
are worshipingl' Who are theyH
'Ottawas. What is their religion?
The Roman Catholic. Have they

Wallace's circus was at Jasper
last Monday, and what some of the
citizens Of the citizens of that town
had done to them is "a plenty"
The "shell" and envelope" games
were too much for our neighbors on
the Patoka, and it is said that the
"sharpers" went away with
about $500 of Jasper's money
down in their "jeans." Too bad,
too bad, that at the close of the
nineteenth century men may still
be found betting on another mans
game l-Huntingburg Independent.
The above will be news to the
PEOPLE of Jasper, for with the ex-
ception Of half a dozen who invest
ed 80 cents each for an agreed ex-
pertinent among themselves, no
citizen Of Jasper is known to have
bet on another mans game. Some
outsiders, however, are said to have
lost some-but that may be like a
milk-s:ck report. One or two men
coquetted with the wine toe long,
and their rockets we're cut and
money stolen, but they we're too
drunk to know who did it.
