M'KINLEY AND ROOSEVELT
Both Nominated by AcclamatiOn
at the Republican National
Convention Thursday.

President Mckinley was unanim-
ously renominated for president of
the United States by the Republican
national convention at Philadelphia
Thursday ,and an hour later Govern
or Theodore Roosevelt OF New
York was unanimously elected to
stand beside him inthe coming battle.
The scenes attending the selections
were tumultuous. Such unanimous
demonstrations in honor of the
nominees of national convention
have seldom been equaled in the
history of the politics of America.
This was love feast, jubilee, a
ratification meeting. There were
no preliminaries.

Supreme Court Sustains the
State Tax Commission
Law.
POWER TO MAKE CHANGES.
That Body May Also Review
Every Tax Roll In the
State If It Sees Fit.

The action of the Michigan SUI
preme court Tuesday in sustaining
the censtitutionality of that feature
OF the state tax commission law
giving the commissioners, or any
one OF them, the right to review
assessments, and add to the rolls,
is a victory for. the commission of
wide Importance. Without the
right of the commission to correct
rolls from which property has been
omitted, and on which property has
been assessed for much less than it's
actual value, the tax commission,
to use the expressive phrase OF one
OF its members, would be only
"a talking body" without power to
right the wrongs which resulted in
the creation of the commission.
The Grand Rapids board of as
SCISSORS refused the commissioners
the right to review the tax rolls of
of that city, claiming that the con-
stitutiou had guaranteed the muni-
cipalities local self-government,
with which the legislature could not
interfere. The broad question was
raised that the state could not in
terfere with the making OF assess
ments in towns and cities, and the
decision of the supreme court is,
therefore, of Importance not only to
the cities and towns of the state,
but it gives the tax commission the
right to review the tax rolls in
every township, and place thereon
any property which may have been
omitted from the rolls, as we'll as to
increase the valuation of property
assessed too low, and the decision
OF the tax commissioners in such
matters is final.
Justice Grant, while concurring
in the opinion of the court that the
state board OF tax commissioners
might review local assessments,
contended in separate opinion
that the board should act as a whole
and not delegate important duties
to q single member.

A GREAT PRODUCER.
Northwest Ships Out Four Times
More Than 1t Consumes.

One Of the greatest surprises in
the history Of the great 500 canals
came last month, when the freight
tonnage reached the enormous total
OF 1902, 1897 net tons, breaking all
records. Only once before has the
tonnage for a single month reached
the four million mark, that occur
ring in July OF last year, when
4, 4,024, 789 tons were passed through
the canals, and the month OF May
exceeded that by 67,60S tons. Com
ing SO early in the season, this in
crease is surprising to degree that
vesselmen are inclined to raise their
80, 900, 900 prediction for the season,
and it. is freely asserted that the
canals will have record of 5000, 900
tons for single month before the
close OF navigation. The excess
over last year up to June 1st is
1857, ,811 tons. The fact that of
this big total 3,267 $50 tons were
eastbound, and but 824, 4,847 tons
westbound, shows how much more
OF producing than OF consuming
region the northwest is.

Lake Linden Young Girl Burned
to Death While in the Act Of
BoilingiTurpentine.

Mary st. John, 2O-year old daugh-
ter of Joseph st. John of Lake Lin
den, was mortally burned at her
home last Saturday morning at 11:30
o'clock. She fingered i'm intense
agony until $3.50 o'clock in the even
ing, when death came to relieve her
sufferings. The young lady was
boiling pan of turpentine and
some other mixture on the stove in
the kitchen preparatory to varnish-
ing door or some woodwork. When
it had arrived at desired heat, she
attempted to remove it from the
stove. A quantity of the infam-
mable mixture fell on the red.hot
stove, igniting it aud causing the
flames to shoot up in the air toward
the ceiling. Miss st. John becom-
ing alarmed at the sight of the
flames, for the safety of the house
grabbed cotton cloth and attempt
ed to smother the fire. In so doing
the flames ignited her dress and she
ran out of doors, a sheet of flames
enveloping her. Miss st. John was
born in Lake Linden and passed her
young life in that vicinity.

GRADUATES OF 1900
Tenth Annual Commencement
Exercises of the L'Anse
High School.
CLASS MOTTO-"ONwARD." !"
Opera House Was Handsomely
Decorated For the
Occasion.

The tenth annual commencement
exercises of the L L'Anse High School,
class Of 1900, took place Wednesday
evening at the Opera House and
was we'll attended.
The hall was handsomely decor
ated for the occasion with ever
green's and flowers, and the class
colors, pink and green, were very
much in evidence. Over the stage
was suspended the class motto,
Coward" in evergreen letters.
The stage was neatly furnished,
while in front of the same were
tables loaded with flowers for the
graduates.
The class this year, consisted of
three young .ladies-Agnes Aurelia
Murphy, Ella Meta Steinbach and
Laura Eleanor Brennan, who were
all beautifully gowned in white.
The oratioas delivered by the
graduates were we'll prepared and
showed much thought and study.
The class address was given by
Prof. ID. B. Waldo, of the Northern
Normal at Marquette. He took for
his subject, Life, and in few
well chosen words sped the class of
1900 "onward" on life's journey.
1t is impossible to give the entire
address in these columns, but the
sum and substance of his remarks
were for all to cultivate the higher
arts, especially the art of living,
the grandest of all arts. He said to
exist was not to live, but to live
was to be OF some use to mankind,
in the nobler sense.
p. r. McKernan, president Of the
school board, in a few words of ad-
vice, presented the class with their
diplomas.
The Misses Murphy and Kelsey
furnished the instrumental music
which was well rendered, and Prof.
G. b. Gale of Calumet, furnished
the vocal selections.

A western philosopher argues that
the brown jug ought not to be con-
demned, because a fisherman, who
fell from his boat into the Missouri
river few days ago, would have
been drowned but for an empty jug,
to the handle of which he clung un-
til help arrived. We admit that this
is strong argument i'm favor of the
Jug, but there 4 is another way of
looking at it. II the fisherman
hadn't had the jug perhaps he
wouldn't have fallen into the water.
