what time he died. and he is supposed to
fave been dead for quite while before
the authorities were notified.
Mr.. Warmers health had been poor for
some time past, and recently he had
slight shock of paralysis which slightly
disfigured his face. The medical exam
iner who visited his remains said that
death was due to heart failure and that
he had been dead an hour and n half pre-
vious to the time he viewed the body.
The woman in whose house Nh. War
ner's death occurred said that he had
known her for number of years and had
given her books and befriended her. He
was passing her house and, feeling faint,
went in for glass of water. He had
been there but u few moments when he
expired in the chair he sat in.

body will be taken to Mansfield, o.,
where it will be inferred beside that of
Mrs. Sherman.
John Sherman was born in Lancaster,
O., on May 10, 1923. He was the eighth
in family of II children. the late Gen.
eral William Tecumseh Sherman being
the sixth child. Their mothers maiden
name was Mary Hoyt Their father, for
five years a justice of the Ohio supreme
court, was descendant Of the Rev. John
Sherman of Essex, England, who came
to America in 1884. On the death of JUS
tice Sherman in 1929 the family became
scattered and cousin of the name of
John Sherman took young John and sent
him to school. The boy was prepared for
college. Desire to become self support
ing led him, however, to joint corps of
surveyors and engineers, with whom he
worked for two years. He then studied
law in the Office of his brother Charles
and was admitted to the bar on May IL.
1874. He practiced law in partnership
with his brother at Mansfield, o., until
he was elected a representative in con-
gress in 1854.
in the national legislature John Sherman
had, on Aug. 80, 1S4S, married Cecilia
Stewart, daughter Of Judge Stewart of
Mansfield, o. She was his companion
throughout a long public career, and her
death last spring marked the beginning
OF Mr.. Sherman's rapid decline.
Sherman was for nearly half cen
tury Republican leader upon financial
questions and was the originator of many
important laws. In particular he was
the author of the specie redemption plan
Of the Sherman act of 1879. The length
of his continuous public service brief
review suffices to show. After member
ship in successive congresses from 1855
to 1861 he was chosen United States
senator and was twice reelected before
becoming secretary of the treasury un.
der r. b. Hayes. He went back to the
senate at the close of the four years
term in 1881 and represented Ohio until
1897, when he became President Nc.
Kinlcy's secretary of state. From this
office failing health caused his retirement
two years ago. Sherman published his
own record of his career in ''The Rec
objections of Forty Years In the House,

FARMING IN THE U. p.
Number Of Farms Is Rapidly In
creasing.

creaSlng.
The upper peninsula is getting to
be an agricultural center. Accord
ing to reliable statistics, says a
Marquette report, there was an in
crease in the year 1899 OF nearly 500
farms, which was two thirds the in
crease for the entire state. These
farms cover over half million acres,
OF which one-third or thereabouts is
improved land. A good part of the
unimproved land is covered with
hardwood timber, which is getting
more valuable year by year, and
from which the farmers already de-
rive a good income by cutting and
selling it for stove wood. Cutting
and hauling wood to market is al
most the sole occupation of farmers
in this section in the winter.
The principal agricultural counties
are Menominee, ,Chippewaand Delta,
all of which possess farms as fine as
any to be found in lower Michigan
or Wisconsin, but there is also con-
siderable farming territory in the
mining counties. Houghton coun
ty, the copper country, has between
$50 and 300 farms and nearly 20. 600
acres under cultivation. Marquette
has over 300 farms, but its improved
acreage is smaller.

TO PROTECT WILD LIFE.
Michigan Game Laws Are Being
Rigidly Enforced.

State Game Warden Grant M
Morse in his monthly report filet
with the secretary of state Saturday
last, says that the courts of tn,
state are generally imposing heavier
fines for violations of the game ant
fish laws, which Indicates disposi
tion to enforce the laws strictly
During the month of January there
were l46 complaints for~yiolations
Of the game and fish laws, resulting
in the commencement of Ill cases,
81 of which were for violations OF
the game laws and 53 for violations
of the fish laws. Sixty-two persons
were convicted, two were found not
guilty, four cases were dismissed
and 43 cases are pending. The to-
tai amount of fines and costs i'm
posed was $910.97.
This increase, says the warden,
"is quite indicative of the change in
sentiment previously reported.
While in many counties it has been
the practice in the courts to impose
only nominal fines, it will be OBJ
served that they are increasing the
fines, and in many cases imposing
the limit, thus keeping in touch
with the increasing sentiment for
the better protection of our wild
life, and making the path OF the
violator more thorny and uninvit-
ing. In several instances courts in
passing sentence have given notice
to the accused that fine, even the
limit, would not settle the next Of
offense but that Imprisonment would
follow should they again be arrested
for like offense.
Another indication of the in
creased respect these laws are COM
manding is in the number of deer
licenses sold during the past season,
the resident licenses being more
than double the number taken on,
during any former year. There has
been an increase of at least 10 per
cent in the number of resident
licenses. This, coupled with Se
fact that very few complaints have
been entered for hunting withou,
licenses, assures me that the rule is
general and that the people are
respecting and gladly aiding in the
protection OF game and fish. "

Mrs. Alexander G. Shields Passed
Peacefully Away Monday
Evening.
CAUSES GREAT SORROW.
Funeral Held From the M. E.
Church Thursday After
noon at 2 O'Clock.

A particularly sad and somewhat
sudden death occurred in this village
Monday evening, when Mrs. Alex
ander G. Shields passed away at her
home about 6 o'clock. Although
she had been very i'll for number
Of weeks it was not generally
thought that her ailment would
prove fatal, and the announcement
Of her death was sudden surprise
to the community.
About the middle of October last
Mrs. Shields complained OF not feel
ing well, and Of having severe pains
in her right side, but was able to
be around the house. On December
9th she was taken to the Lake Su
perior hospital at Lake Linden,
and underwent an operation for a
cancerous growth. She remained
at the hospital for number of
weeks, and it was hoped she was on
the road to recovery. She returned
home January 9th, but was con-
fined to her bed most OF the time.
Her condition appeared to be un-
changed until Thursday of last
week, when sudden change for the
worse occurred, and it was evident
that the end was rapidly approach
ing, which proved true, and death
came Monday evening.
Deceased, whose maiden name
was Myra Jackson, was born in
Norfolk, England, March =, 1880,
being a daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs.
William Jackson. At the age of
about 10 years she removed with her
parents to this country, locating in
the copper country. On August
"a, 1868, she was united in marriage
to Alexander G. Shields. at Hough-
ton. Four daughters, Mrs. ]. A.
Smith, OF Lake Linden, Agnes,
Eta and Myra, we're the result of
their union, and all but the latter
are left with the bereaved husband
to mourn her sad and untimely de-
parture.
Besides those above mentioned,
deceased is also survived by her
mother, residing in this village,
who is over 80 years of age; four
brothers, Robert and James Jack
son, of L'Anse, John, of Houghton,
and Philip, residing In British
Columbia; six sisters, Mrs. w. S.

lage
