any extraordinary power to extend
these fire limits?"
No, that is a matter which rests
entirely with the Legislature. That is
one argument, to my mind, which an
tagonizes the present opening up of the
CHINATOWN that was" was the answer.
Almost three months have passed
since the fire of January 20 Do you
suppose that another period of nine
months Will be required ny the Board
OF Health, before property owners can
take possession again."
mat Is a matter which DIR. Wood
knows more about than / do: il he be-
lieves 1t would be a safe or wise meas
ure to remove the fences | presume that
would be the proper course. The main
dlmculty lies in the question of the ex-
tension OF the fire limits"
DR.. Wood Waiting.
Just as question was about to be
put to DIR. Wood as to his views upon
the methods OF combating plague in
ALEXANDRIA, and as to whether the alb
sence OF plague bacilli in the soils would
tend TO raise the embargo on the in
fected enclosures so-called, a letter was
read to him by Secretary Hendry from
or land at Kekaulike and Queen streets
on which there were no houses when
the plague broke out. 1t was, however,
enclosed with the rest of the China
town area, and the owner seeks to have
his property eliminated from the gen.
eral order.
No, | certainly cannot give any such
order as that" said DIR. Wood. I'm
waiting for Or. Hoffmann's report up
on his soil experiments, and | can't
give an opinion un.Il then"
From this it was gathered that the
doctor will act one way or the other in
regard to the burned areas, as soon as
the report is in his hands.
Business Men Complain.
The business men say they have suf-
fered far more consequential damages,
than have those who actually lost all
their holdings in the fire. They, how
ever, have no recourse in the premises,
and while actual losers by the fire will
eventually recover their losses, the
business houses on the other hand will
be compelled to bear their indirect
losses. These property owners have
been patient so far and have been dis
posed to be lenient with the Board of
Health.
The infected districts" have been
placed beyond their reach for tnree and
four months, and they are of the opin-
ion that sufficient time has elapsed to
destroy the plague germs which are
supposed to have infected the ground
Experiments so far have resulted in
showing that only the natural bacteria
of soils have been found, and no plague
germs.

Hints on Watering Flowers.

In potting the plants q quantity
of broken pottery, brick or any sim
liar material should be placed in the
bottom of the pot for drainage, and
some sand incorporated in the soil.
This will prevent the soil from be-
coming soggy from overwatering, or
any water remaining longer than
necessary about the roots in the bot
tom OF the pot. Each time you water
give sufficient to saturate thorough
ly all the soil in the pot, then do not
give any water until the soil at the
surface begins to look somewhat
dry. The habit of giving little
water each day whether necessary
or not, is detrimental to the health
of the plant Plants will dry out
quickly in the house, especially if
the temperature is little high
er than is best. To avoid this set
the pots in saucers in which there is
about half an inch of sand. -Wom-

Joseph Wise, Thought to BE
Dead In the Woods, Found
Near ingalls,.

Joseph Wise, of Menominee, who
went hunting seven weeks ago and
was thought to have perished in the
woods, has been found. He was
located at the home of o farmer
near Iagalls, Mich, where he had
been taken in. Wise suffered an at.
tack aof rheumatism, and crawled
forSmiles in a half-crazed condition
until he struck the home OF the
farmer. 1t seems that he was un-
able to tell where his home was, and
the farmer learned Of his residence
through the newspapers. Wise is
in critical condition.
The upper peninsula is not alone
in its visitation from smallpox this
winter One town in Minnesota is
credited with 300 cases, and now it
has made its appearance in Custer

cases Of the disease have been dis
covered respectively. Ludington
also has case and whole townships
are being quarantined, while trains
are not allowed to make any stops
at infected towns. With the disease
so prevalent, not only at home, but
also on both sides of US, it certainly
behooves every resident Of the up
per peninsula to attend to being
vaccinated at once.

THE LATE JUDGE HUBBELL
A Memorial I'm His Honor Spread
on the Records of the
Circuit Court.

The Houghton county bar associa-
tion Saturday morning last present.
ed to the circuit court a memorial
in honor of the late Judge Jay Abel
Hubbell, with a request that it be
spread upon the court records and a
copy furnished the family OF the
deceased jurist.
The memorial sketches the most
prominent points in the life Of this
eminent lawyer and statesman, pay
ing glowing tributes to his keen
discernment and deep comprehen-
sion of the law, and to the honesty
and fearlessness with which his
opinions were delivered. His SER
vices as judge of the twelfth judicial
district during the term from Jan
uary l, 1894, to December 81, 1899,
endeared him to each individual
member of the bar association, and
were priceless in value to the state
on account of the justice and fear
lessness with which he rendered his
decisions. The memorial pays a
high tribute to the memory of the
departed jurist, and offers coincidence
to the survivors OF his family.
The memorial was ordered spread
upon the court rolls by Judge A. T.
Streeter, after which court adjourn
ed for the day out of respect to the

According to prominent doctor,
apples are an excellent health pre-
servative. If placed ready for the
children when they awake in the
morning, to eat when appetite de-
mands, they will prove turning
point for many petty ailments. The
nervous system, always calling for
phosphorus, is quieted by full fruit
diet. Apples relieve the nausea of
seasickness, and are help to those
who are trying to break themselves
of the tobacco habit. A good ripe,
raw apple is completely digested in
50 minutes. This easy digestion ia
vors longevity; the phosphorus
renews the nervous matter in the
brain.

Rawley Dunbar. a Prisoner,
Burned to Death In the
Jail at Mass City.
WAS THE SOLE OCCUPANT
Assistance Arrived When the
Place Was a Mass of
Flames.


Jail at Mass City, Ontonagon county,
perished in a fire which completely
destroyed the village lookup, d
small wooden building near the
center of the business section, Tues
day. His body was burned beyond
all semblance to human being, the
head and legs ng)entirely reduced
to ashes.
Dunbar had been in Jail only
few hours when he met his tragic
fate. He was a homesteader in the
Flint Steel valley and in company
with William Rice, another home
steader. went to Mass City en- route
to Ontonagon to prove up claims.
While waiting around town they
commenced drinking. About Z
o'clock Dunbar was taken into
custody by Marshal Thomas Cooney
and placed in the lookup to sober
up. Shortly after II O'Clock the
little building was discovered in a
mass of flames. But few knew of
the presence of the solitary prisoner
there until pitful screams for aid
were heard. No one dared enter the
then scorching funeral pyre and
quickly the cries of the doomed man
ceased. Strenuous efforts were
made to extinguish the flames, but
they had gained too much headway.
In short while nothing remained
but a few charred timbers and
heap of a4hes.
No effort was made to recover the
remains of Dunbar until morning,
when search in the ruins revealed
the charred trunk of his body lying
close to the embers of the bed upon
which he must have been lying when
the flames surrounded ;him. Along
side the body, in the ashes, were
found the dead mans jackknife and
several pieces of melted silver coin
which had been in a pocket of his
clothes.
The origin OF the fire is mystery.
There was but small stove in the
Jail, but in this there was no fire.
Contrary to the usual custom, Mar
shall Cooney, who knew Dunbar
quite well, did not search him in
order TO remove weapons and other
articles usually taken from pris-
oner. The theory generally accept
ed is that Dunbar had some matches
in his pockets and upon awakening
from his drunken stupor struck a
light to see where he was. About
the only clothing on the bed was
mattress made of wooden shavings
and he probably ignited this either
by throwing the smoldering stick
carelessly away or else in moving
about, presumably the former. In
either case, however, there was
little hope for him. Only by a
chance could he have secured as
sistance by making noise, for the
streets at that hour were practically
deserted, but of course the flames
attracted attention quickly.
Dunbar was about 38 years old
and is survived by his wife and one
child. He was well knewn in On.
tonagon county, having at one time
conducted saloon in Ontonagon,
also serving for some time as village
marshal. -Houghton Gazette.

THE U. p. FOR FARMERS.
Great Effort to be Made to Get
Them as Settlers.

1ncuu db SctJlcTS.
This winter, for the first time, q
systematic effort will be made by the
officers of the Michigan agricultural
experiment station to demonstrate
to lower Michigan farmers that a
promising field for their industry is
ready at hand in the upper peninsula.
Supt. Leo M. Geismar, Of the upper
peninsu a sub-station atChatham will
join Director Smith in the lower part
OF the state, and together they will
make determined effort to put the
Canadian farm agents out of busi-
ness. These agents have operated
in the southern confines of the state
with considerable success for the
past four or five years, and with the
inducements of cheap lands and good
markets they have had little diff
Guilty in leading many representa-
tive farmers to make new homes in
the Dominion.
Messrs. Geismar and Smith will
ask the very pertinent question,
what is there that Canada can boast
that northern Michigan cannot dup
licate? This query will prove a
poser. There is an abundance of
good, cheap farming land in several
counties of the upper peninsula. It's
acreage is broad enough for the re-
ception OF hundreds of new settlers.
Its soil is capable of producing all
the staple crops, and the markets at
hand on every turn cannot be ex-
celled in any part of the state. while
the prices which the housewives in
this section of the state are willing
to pay for fresh produce would make
d southern Michigan farmers eyes
stick out.
The great success OF the sub
station at Chatham will furnish
Messrs. Geismar and Smith with
some very effective talking points.
Here wonderful crops were raised
although the ground for the farm
was not broken until date when
most farmers had their seed in the
ground. The sub station s exhibit
at the state fair was revelation.
These points will be effectively pre-
sented and it will be most peculiar
if goodly batch of new settlers do
not find their way to this section as
result OF the campaign which will
be made by the experiment station S
officers.
The prospect Of agriculture in
Marquette county is particularly
bright at this particular time because
of the development of the project to
build new piece OF railroad connect
ing the L. S. Il I. and Munising
lines, the whole comprising the Mar
quette & Southeastern system. When
completed this road will open up the
Chocolay valley, one of the most at
tractive sections of farming country
in the state. Already it is dotted
with large, well kept farms, but
there is room for hundreds of other
settlers and they will doubtless fol-
low in the wake of the Marquette &
Southeastern. This valley produces
much of the produce consumed in
Marquette county and by reason Of
it's rich soil which lends itself very
readily to cultivation it should be
come veritable nest of prosperous
and contented farmers. s.--Detroit
