A PRAIRIE MAID.
She Stopped the Telegraphic Com

She Stopped the Telegraphic Com
munication.
A little 13-year-old Pawnee county
{ Kan. miss has given the Western
Union and Postal Telegraph COM
panies an unlimited amount of
trouble in a most peculiar way.
Bertha's daily duty was to herd and
watch large drove of her fathers
cattle, whose range was near the
Western Union and Postal Tele-
graph lines. For some time at
irregular intervals almost every day
these lines absolutely failed to work,
and the trouble seemed to be some
where in the vicinity where this girl
ranged her cattle; but try as the
line repairers would, it could not
be definitely located.
Finally it was discovered that
Bertha, in order to get q better view
of the cattle, had driven spikes into
telegraph pole, so that she could
climb it, and that she would, when.
ever she got weary of watching the
cattle from the ground, climb the
pole, pull up q board by means of a
cord, place it across the wires, seat
herself on the board and spend an
hour or two in watching the herd
from her improvised elevated sta
ton. Whenever the board happened
to be damp or wet and the frequent
rains this year have kept the board
damp most of the time it destroyed
the electric current and practically
cut off all telegraphic communities
ton between Denver and Kansas
City.
When discovered and informed
of the damage she was doing to the
business of the telegraph lines Ber-
tina was greatly surprised, and was
evidently utterly ignorant of the
fact that her seat on the telegraph
wires interfered in the slightest de-
gree with the working of the wires.

Norton is a Candidate.

From the Detroit Journal;
Editor The Journal: The Journal hav
ing given space August to an article from
Saginaw upon the political situation in tn
eighth congressional district, which places
Clinton county and w. A. Norton, Its can
didate, in a false and unfair light, trus
you will permit this correction to appear II
your columns.
In answer to the statement that "withir
the last few weeks several conferences have
been held among prominent politicians
from Clinton, Tuscola, Shiawassee anC
Saginaw counties; and it has been unani.
mOusly agreed that the nomination shall
come to Saginaw county," must be either
the effect of severe attack Of political jim.
jams, or your reporter is the victim of some
practical joker.
l, as chairman of the delegation from
Clinton county, have interviewed nearly the
entire delegation and the chairman, secre-
tary and treasurer of the county committee,
and many other prominent republicans of
the county, and they not only disclaim any
knowledge of any such conferences. but are
all very indignant such a report has been
published. If any self-styled leading poll
tician from Clinton county has had such
conferences 1t will be found that his "lead-
ership" could not be discovered with a
strong microscope. more convincing
proof that no such conferences have been
Joined in by any LEADING" republican from
so unanimously and heartily in favor of Mr..
NOrton's candidacy that no republican could
enter into such an arrangement without
blacklisting him for all time.
l called upon Mr.. Norton and he emphati-
cally denies that he ever stated he had
agreed to withdraw from the congressional
race and throw his support to Saginaw
county, provided harmony candidate could
be selected from Saginaw city. He insists
that he would not make such an ass of him
self and his delegation as to withdraw, or
pledge his support before the convention is
held.
: A mathematical c0nundrum suggested to
one by the article is, If the Saginaw repub-
lican nominee in 1895 received $50 fewer
votes in Saginaw than the republican cleo.
tors, when there had been no party row,
how many less than the republican nomi-
nee for governor would he get in 1898 with
a patched up" row on. The question
arises, would it not tend to harmonic the
party not only in Saginaw but throughout
the district, for Saginaw to keep the pledge
she made two years ago, viz That she
would not ask for the nomination again
until 1t had gone to some other cOuntyP
In conclusion, Mr.. Norton is candidate
for the nomination until one is made, and
Is for the nominee no matter which county
he may hail from. Respectfully,
WILL IL. BRONSON.

DYNAMO AT sHIAwAssEE TOWN.


r. N. & M. L. Parshall Considering the
ACCESSIBILITY of Placing one There to
Furnish Power for their Owosso Mill.
One of the city papers holds up glow.
ing prospects for Shiawassee town in a
recent issue, so glowing in fact that the
inhabitants of the quiet little burg
might almost think a Klondike had
been unearthed in their midst. A De-
troit firm to start up the dilapidated
old paper mill and r. N. & M. l.. Par
shall to start up the big old Touring
mill at that place and to install an
electric plant for furnishing power to
be used in the Owosso mill But there's
hitch.
1t appears upon consultation with a
gentleman who is well posted on the
state of affairs at that place, that the
paper mill is in such shape as to make
any idea of using it again for manufac-
turing paper, but little better than non
sense. This same gentleman further
affirms his belief that such thing will
not only never be attempted but that it
is not even seriously considered.
To turn in the other direction there
is ray of hope, but on the start it is
not so evident. Mr.. Parshall, who was
seen by TIMES representative Wednes-
day, stated that so far as the story of
his firm fixing up the old Touring mill
there and running the same was con-
cerned there was absolutely nothing in
it. The mill is so far from the railroad
as to kill its prospects, while it is fair
ly surrounded by circle of mills but a
few miles distant-mills which have
railway advantages and would leave no
trade for the poor old Shi-town struc-
ture, Besides there is no local trade to
support the same. Instead of consider
ing the proposal of buying the. mill and
running it for milling purposes, Mr..
Parshall declares he would be foolish
to think of running it if he already
owned it. On the other hand there is
undoubtedly fine water power there,
and this is where the ray of hope
comes in.
Mr. Parshall has looked the ground
over very carefully as has also his part
ner and they are both well satisfied
with the showing made by the plan,
The only hitch lies in the expense of pro-
viding for the carrying of the current
over the eight miles between Shiawas-
'eetown and Owosso and it is possible
that that too may be overcome. If this
IS done portion of the old mill will be
Tilted up with turbine and dynamo
rooms and heavy line built into this
,ity. Such plan would require the |
presence of one or two men continual
y at the power house and would in ;
crease the population of the old town
% that extent. The advantages to be
yained are steady current, which Mr.. |
oarshall believes will be sufficient to |
'un the mill all the year around, and |
more important still, practically no

irable to run the mill nights regularly,

There are numerous drawbacks to the |

abandonment but as yet it is at least
.mong the possibilities of the future.
