Pawnee Mining Stock Proves
q FavOrite With
Spectators.
ALLOTMENT ALL TAKEN UP
Shortly After the Lists Were
Opened-Number Of Shares
Applied for was 1000.

The subscription list for the stock
in the@Pawnee Mining company,
which had been open at the Hancock
First National bank the latter part
of last Week, was closed Saturday
evening, there being over 1000
shares Of stock applied for by Port
age Lake people. The allotment
made tothe bank was 1900 shares,
and these were taken up shortly
after the list was known to be open.
Those parties who subscribed after
the o,OO0 shares were taken up will
have to run their chances OF getting
the stock, although the bank has
taken every possible step to secure
it for them. Portage Lake people
have great confidence in the future
OF the Pawnee, which is better known
as the Lac La Belle, which is demon

held by copper country people. 1t

DO YOU OWN A DOG.
III SO, You Are Responsible For
Any Damages the Critter
May Do.

In the circuit court held at Flint
recently jury gave William Jenkin-
son verdict for 5000 for injuries re-
ceived as results in his horse being
frightened into running away by "a
dog owned by Mrs. Anna Cogging.
In his charge to the jury the court
went so far as to lay down the
proposition that every dog owner is
liable for his CANNES acts, without
reference to any consideration other
than the fact that the animal is his
property. He might not know that
the canine is possessed OF vicious
disposition, or he might take every
possible measure OF precaution
against the perpetration of injury
or damage on the part of the animal,
but in either case his liability is not
lessened.
In short, the courts main prop
osition was to the effect that when
a man owns dog he must be pre-
pared to take the consequences.

THE DEER LAW.
SpOrtsmen Want 1t Limited to 15
Days and Three Deer per Man.

f. III. Gilman would like to see a
meeting of the Tri-County Game
league called soon to decide upon
what course to pursue at the annual
meeting of the state league at Lam
sing on Jan. 18th. "Many changes
in the laws have been suggested, !"
said Mr. Gilman. II would like TO
see the quail season from November
fst to December 18th, instead OF
October 1st to December 1st. The
open season for partridges might be
made the same, although the part
ridges are ready earlier. The wood
cock season should be earlier in the
year instead of in the fall, and the
duck season should not start until
October 1st The deer law interests
me most and l will favor an open
season from October Goth to Novem-
ber 10th, which is plenty long
enough. Then, too, | want the law
to limit the number to three for

IMPROVE MARQUETTE BAY.
Rep. Sheldon is Battling to EX-

That Place.

A Washington dispatch states
that Congressman G. ID. Sheldon is
making a strong effort to get some
thing for the Marquette bay harbor
and break water. He has labored
with Committeeman Bishop and i'm
pressed upon about every member +
OF the river and harbor committee
the needs of the harbor and the
necessity of extending the break
water. He has made a very strong
showing, and as the Improvement is
in the line of continuing one, he
may get something, but hardly the
$50, 900 he is laboring for, which the
engineer recommended as necessary
to complete the work.

Don't Kill the Quail.

The Detroit Free Press states that
two quail we're sent to the Agri-
cultural College by farmer who
wrote that he killed them because
they were eating his grain. He
wished an examination of the crops
of the birds made, which was done,
and the results made public. In
neither crop was found any grain,
but in one of them were about 4, 800
seeds of the false nettle, very
troublesome weed, which goes to
show that the quail, instead OF be-
ing an enemy of the farmer, is in
reality d great help. Prof. Barrows,
of the Agricultural College, says
that quail eat a very large variety
Of weed seeds, besides grasshoppers,
cinch bugs and other injurious in
sects. He once examined a quail s
crop and found it filed to it's utmost
capacity with span worms and
measuring worms, both OF which
are among the farmers numerous
enemies.

WARRANTS WITHDRAWN
Against Five COvingtOn Men who
Were Charged With Assault.


On December 2lst Felix Phelan
of Covington township, was arrest
ed upon complaint of Arthur
Boucher, Of the same township, the
charge being that Phelan assaulted
Boucher with an AK, and threatened
to kill him. Before Phelan was
taken into custody he went before
another magistrate and caused a
warrant to be issued for the arrest
of Boucher, charging that Boucher
had shot him (Phelan) with gun,
the ball entering the upper portion
of his right arm. Phelan also
caused the arrest of George Schone-
veg, Albert Philips and William
Irwin, all of Covington, as acces-
sories to the assault. In the case
where Phelan was defendant he was
unable to furnish the required bond
for his appearance at examination,
and was committed to Jail. The
others procured bail.
The examination of Boucher,
Schoneweg, Philips and Irvine was
set for December 23d, but was ad-
journed until Tuesday of this week.
Phelan was brought into court
for examination December 24th, but
requested that the case be adjourn
ed until January 11th, which was
granted, and he remained in Jail
until that day.
Tuesday afternoon when the case
against Boucher, Schoneweg, Phil
ips and Irwin was called, Phelan
stated that he desired to withdraw
the complaints against the four, .and
the men were accordingly dis
charged.
Wednesday morning the case
against Phelan was called at 10
o'clock and Boucher stated that he

plant While the dlscontinuance
was being entered, Phelan opened
TRADE of abuse against the court.
He was cautioned two or three
times and requested to keep quiet,
but persisted in continuing his
abuse and the court ordered the
sheriff to lock him up.
Later in the afternoon Phelan
was arraigned before the justice
and asked if he bad anything to say
why he should not be punished for
contempt of court, but again used
abusive language and was inn
mediately given the full limit of the
law -$25 fine and five days i'm
prisonment in the county Jail. In
default of the payment of the fine
he will have to remain in Jail an
additional ten days.

A Very Simple Remedy For

WORTH GIVING A TRIAL
George Il. Angel Offers Some
Facts Tending To Prove
Its Efficacy.

Editor Washington Post: In my
daily papers of December 22d | find
that there are supposed to be some
thing like 100, 600 cases of grip in
New York city, and that it is also
prevailing largely in Washington,
Philadelphia and other cities, and is
now threatening Boston. 1t is a
fact that when it was prevailing as
an epidemic largelyin our city few
years ago, ! aacertalned by inquiry
of my officers at Byam's match fac
tory, that of the forty-three persons
employed there, not one had been
troubled by it. ~
| have at various times told the
press how many at Memphis, Tenn,
Gncluding the agents of the Howard
Benevolent association escaped the
terrible epidemic of yellow fever
there (as they claimed) by wearing
powdered sulphur in their shoes; al
so the evidence of distinguished
German medical writer, translated
into English, that wearing sulphur
in this way has proved complete
protection against cholera and other
epidemic diseases; also that those
working the sulphur mines Of Italy
escape the malaria which prevails all
about them; also that sulphur in the
shoes has cured various cases Of
rheumatism; also that sulphur taken
internally or worn in the shoes has
sufficient power to pass through the
I body, the clothing, and the pocket
book, blackening the silver there.
| find in the London Lancet that
no less authority than the president
Of the institute of civil engineers, Of
London, declares that the sulphur
Gus vapor produced by the combus-
tion of coal in that city kills the
disease germs in the atmosphere.
In the Scott county (Mississippi)
Register of June 18th last will be
found an account Of how the agents
OF the Howard Benevolent associa-
tion, at Memphis, escaped yellow
fever by wearing sulphur in their
shoes.
Half teaspoonful of powdered
sulphur in each shoe or stocking is
considered sufficient. We have re-
ceived letters from army officers and
men stating that with sulphur in the
shoes they had no fevera and also
Found the sulphur a complete pro-
lection against Aeas. On this same
December 22d we received in letter
from Capt. julius A. Palmer OF this
city, the following:
| "By the way, in view of your
frequent recommendation of com
mon sulphur, it came to my notice
recently that on California ranches,
where walnuts are prepared for the
market, the shells are bleached by
the use OF birthstone flames, and
that the men having charge of that
work are never touched by the grip.
