PEoPLEsS GOSPEL SERVICE.

Some two months ago the West End
Methodist church inaugurated series OF
Sunday evening services called 1.-The
Peoples Gospel Services The object
was to reach the non-church goers of the
community. Three things were decided
ON to secure this end: 1-Short gospel
sermons; 2, the best sacred music; 3. the
whole service to last one hour. An
orchestra under the leadership of Mr..
Charles Baker and chorus conducted by
Mr.. Fl. L. Van Blarcome, assisted by
we'll known soloists have furnished the
music. That the people love the gospel
Of the church is evident from the fact
that every 5 unday evening the seating
capacity of the church is taxed to accom-
MEDIATE the people. Last Sunday the
ushers had to bring in chairs to seat the
audience Next Sunday evening. Novem-
Der 81, the PASTORS subject will be

many attorneys throughout the
state. The book will contain 3,0O6
sections with extensive foot notes
and over 1900 citations. 1t will be

will be found to be valuable book

AWARDED $40 PER MONTH,
Geo. WINNER Gets Judgment
Against the Miswald Brew
ing Company.

The following is taken from the
copper country department of the
Mining Journal, and will be of
local interest, as both parties in
the action are former residents OF
L 'Anse:
George Winner troubles with
the Miswald Brewing company,
which came before Justice Fisher,
of Calumet, Tuesday, are likely to
be soon settled unless the case is
taken to higher court. WINNER
was engaged by the brewing con-
Germ Oct. %, 1897, without any
stipulated monthly wages being
agreed upon and was discharged
July 20. During the time employed
he received $345 from the company
and last week commenced action to
recover $500 for work and labor,
claiming that the amount already
received was not full value for his
services. The company tried to es-
tablish the claim that VIM
mer made poor beer, but the
jury evidently didn't think
there was such thing during the
present hot spell and rendered a
verdict in his favor of $285, thus
making his total remuneration
equal to $40 month. The case will
likely reach the circuit court.

Delicious watermelons only 20 cts
at Carroll s, Baraga.
No More Secrecy.

AS a result of the new revenue law
for the collection of war taxes, the
frequent habit of designating the
sales of real estate as ''In considera-
tion of 81 and other valuables, F"
which has been resorted to in order
to keep from public records the ex-
act price paid for property, will
have to be stopped, or every person
who records sales of realty in that
manner will be in danger of arrest
and heavy fine for such action, which
will be considered in the nature of
an attempt to evade the payment of
the revenue tax. The tax is 80
cents for every $500 or fractional
part thereof, of the value of real
estate sold. If business man
should, under this law, sell 800, 600
worth of property and record it as
for ''$1 and other valuable consider
ations, he would stand in the light
of attempting to evade the payment
of the 50-cent stamp for every $500
of the value of the 500, 900 worth of
the property.
