ing TO do Herewith.
Mr.. Doris insisted. too. that there
should be a material reduction in Ent-
whistles bill. because OF the alleged poor
quality of the milk.
Mr.. Doris said in order to make the
milk, worth anything at all he had to
mix with II the milk Of the cows he
owned himself.
Entwhistle said some eight years ago
he had talk with both Mr.. and Mrs.
Doris and presumed they both owned the
store.
He said that though bills were made
out In Johns name both husband and
wife were charged on his. Entwhistle's
books for the milk delivered.
Two witnesses on behalf OF the Doris
family testified the milk was very poor

HE IS POPULAR.
Mr.. Smith Is young man connected
with his fathers coal business. He lives
on Harvard avenue In the fifth district OF
the new Fifth ward. Mr.. Smith Is very
popular, having q very large circle of
friends in every section OF the city. and
he is identified with secret and fraternal
organizations.
The local politicians who have been
looking into the situation have no hesita-
ton in saying that Mr.Smith would prove
particularly strong candidate and one
that the Republicans would fear. per-
haps, more than any other. In the First.
Fifth and Sixth wards his strength

MR.. MILLER MENTIONED.
Another candidate who has been men,
toned is Hon. Augustus s. Miller, ex-
speaker of the house of representatives
and known as one of the leading members
of the Rhode Island bar.
There seems to be an impression, how
ever, that Mr.. Miller would not accept

time persistently declined to run for any
political office.
What Mr.. Miller may decide upon at
later date. IL approached by authorized
persons. of course. remains TO be seen. He

CITY OF SAULT STE. MARIE.
Destined to BE Metropolis of Upptr
Michigan,

Sault Ste. Marie is destined to be-
come at no distant day the metropolis
of the upper peninsula of Michigan.
This will be the result of the develop
ment of its immense waterpower, which
is second only to that of Niagara. Here
at the natural gateway between the
east and the west, the United States
and Canadian governments have built
ship canals and locks for the benefit
of the vast commerce to and from Lake
Superior The waters of this great in
land sea go tumbling down St. Mary's
rapids, forming one of the finest water
powers in the world. A portion of the
vast water power has already been
harnessed and put to commercial use
on both sides of st. Mary's river. On
the American side $4,000 900 is being
expended on a mammoth water power
canal that will develop 10000 actual
horse power, all of which has already
been leased for use in establishments
to be erected for the manufacture of
calcium carbide. chemicals and other
products that will use to the best ad-
vantage the raw materials existing in
this neighborhood and such as can
utilize most profitably the remarkable
advantages enjoyed by Sault Ste. Ma
rie for the assembling of raw materials
and the distribution of finished prod
ucts. When all the projected industries
are completed and in operation it will
result in the up-building of Sault Ste.
Marie from it's present population of
about 10000 to a city Of great import
ance as manufacturing center.-N. L.

In one of the statistical divisions Of
the Department of Agriculture in
Washington may be seen machine
resembling a typewriter, which multi
plies and divides with unerring accu-
racy and with great rapidity. Give its
operator a multiplicand of six figures
and a multiplier as large, and he will
write them out as upon typewriter;
then he turns handle a few times,
and before the onlooker knows what is
going on, the product is written out
before him. The machine performs
examples in division with equal ease.

fancy that he sees in this invention an
emancipation of boys of the twentieth
century from the vexation of the null

much for him to hope.

person may exert in a community.

presbytery dissolved the church and
sent a committee to get the minutes.

Strike-the-Kett is not a romantic
name, but the old Indian who bore that
appellation was a leader and a Chris
tian king among his people. For
many years Strike-the-Kettle was a
scout, protecting the United States
mail from hostile Indians. While on
this duty he was wounded in a fight
with his own people. A few years ago,
when the Dakota prairies were on fire,
the Indians of the Standing Rock
Agency fought the flames for days.
When at last it was feared the whole
village would be swept away a de-
vs.ed missionary stood watching, with
wagon packed, ready to flee at the last
moment. In the darkness she saw
