Never before has an entertainment
been offered to the public possessing
such a peculiar fascination for both the
old and young as the Mystic Midgets.
1t is a juvenile fairy spectacle in two
acts, giving two hours of enjoyment.
The cast is composed of 200 or our
own Wheeling children, the boys rep
resenting midgets from all nations and
gnOmes eve bent on mischief; the
girls, all glittering with spangles and
robed in filmy gowns of lace. repre-
sent the denizens of fairyland. Be
sides these there appear on the stage
live insects and animals. The cos
tunes are rich and beautiful, being
especially made for this production by
one of New York's best costumers.
Complete sets of special scenery are
carried. the first scene being a fan
tastic fairy garden, with a profusion
of tropical flowers, butterflies, etc.
The second a choral cave, glittering
with gems and dazzling in it's beauty;

a gigantic rose opens to full bloom in
view of the audience, and a silver
swan boat is seen in full sail. To
heighten the effect of the rich eos
tunes and brilliant scenery, the entire
entertainment is given under the
changing colors of the calcium light.
The result is indescribably beautiful.

MONEY IN MAIL BAGS.
Almost 100000 Year fOrWhich
Claimants are Never Found.

'It seems almost incredible that
in the neighborhood of $40, 900 in
actual cash should have been con-
fided to letters during the last year,
and harder still to credit that the
most exhaustive efforts failed to find
the owners of one-fourth of that
amount, writes Patti Lyle Collins
in the Ladies Home Journal for
September. "The envelopes which
are addressed are kept on file for
four years, blank ones not so long,
but in either case u liberal margin
of time is allowed for claim
ants to appear before the money is
finally turned into the treasury to
the credit of the postoffice depart
ment. In addition to the money
contained in letters during the
same period, something like $4,000
was found loose in the mails. 1t is
officially styled loose money.

General Davis Says Porto Rico

He Estimates Necessary Relief
Will Cost About
$1,5OO,OOO.

The war department at Washing

under date of August 26th, a dis
patch, outlining the situation in
Porto Rico. Gen. Davis says:
II hope the relief supplies will be
confined to the foods, medicines and
clothing heretofore specified. The
most pressing need is food and the
aggregate cost of all that will be
required to bridge over the period
until new supply of fruits and
vegetables is grown will be an
enormous sum, perhaps reaching
one and half million dollars. While
thousands of families were left home

made of poles and thatched. The
places where the destruction was
greatest are far in the interior.

be next to impossible to transport
lumber to those regions. Such lum-
Der as has been shipped will have to
be used near the seacoast and the
people whose houses were blown
away must replace them with the
same material as that destroyed,
which they are doing and will do if
the hungry are fed. If the charit-
able people of the United States
relieve the hunger of all who would
famsh, vast work will have been
accomplished and all that ! think we
should be expected to attain. |

BACK TO BRANCH PRISON.
Peter BOns, the Crystal Falls
Murderer, Is no Longer an
Insane Patient.

Peter Bons, life convict convict
ed OF assaulting and numbering a
young Crystal Falls girl, whose body
was found buried under pile OF
brush near the village, has just been
returned to the Branch Prison at
Marquette to serve the balance of
his life at hard labor.
Bons was sentenced by Judge
Stone over two years ago, and was
sent to Marquette. He became in
sane last year and was taken to
lonia for treatment. He is now
cured of his mania and will serve
the rest of his natural life at Mar
quette.
Ionia prison was destined for a
reformatory and it is the opinion Of
the officials and the state board that
reformatory influences have more
effect by removing those incorrigi-
bles, who, animated by pure cussed-
ness, are a, disturbing element
Bons was we'll behaved, but a life
convict in a reformatory institution
is out of his class. Iron Mountain

Thomas Brady Passed Peace

Eternal Home Thursday
Morning.

Thomas Brady, one OF the pioneer
residents of L'Anse, passed peace
fully away at his home in this
village about l o'clock this morn
ing,
Mr.. Brady had been in very poor
health for long time, and it was
known that it was only question
of brief time before he must
answer to the final summons.
Neverthu. 9, the announcement OF
his death came as surprise, and
caused great sorrow.
At this late hour it is impossible
to more than briefly mention the
sad news.
Mr.. Brady was Al years OF age
and had resided in L'Anse for
many years. He was a man well
known throughout the upper penln-
sula and had hosts of warm friends.

PROTRACTED DROUGHT
Cause of Great Loss to Farmers
of Lower Peninsula.

A Lansing dispatch states that
the drought continues throughout
the lower peninsula, and is intensi-
fled by hot weather and almost
cloudlcss skies. In his weekly
weather report, issued Tuesday,
Director Schneider says that while
light showers have occurred in scat
tered localities, the drought condi-
tion continues practically unabated.
Much corn, especially on high land,
has been very badly injured and
many farmers have been cutting it
to save the crop for fodder. Bean
harvest is in progress, but the crop
has been shortened by the drought.
Late potatoes are suffering greatly
or want of rain, while pastures are
so badly dried up that many cores
pondents report that it is necessary
to feed their stock.
Considerable blowing for wheat
and rye has been done, but general
ly the soil is so dry that blowing is
difficult and many farmers have
stopped that work and are waiting
for rain before beginning again.
The drought has greatly damaged
spring seeding and in the southern
counties will probably shorten the
sugar beet crop. Buckwheat is fill
ing badly. Reports indicate that
apples continue to fall from the
trees in large quantities, and the
present outlook is for light crop.
A good soaking rain is much needed,
not only for fall crops, but also to
stop the small forest and field fires,
which are quite common and which
are also very threatening.

The BARRIERS license law passed
by the last legislature will soon be
in force. The law provides that
within 80 days after the act takes
effect, every barber now doing busi-
ness in the state and who desires to
continue at the business, must make
application and file with the secre-
tary his name, address, ETC., and
pay the secretary fee of 81. An
nually thereafter fee of so cents is
to be paid the secretary for a re-
newal of thisOcertificate. There are
about $4,000 BARRIERS in the state,
consequently the secretary will re-

the law becomes operative, about

will receive $1,000.
