DOG TAX.
The Laws Regulating This Must
BE Enforced.

The regulations OF the law placing
a tax on dogs is very specific and
must be carried cut by the officials.
The assessors OF the different town
ships and villages are required to
make list of all dogs and their own
ers at the time of the annual assess
ment, which is turned over to the
collectors. Section 4 of this law,
giving the duties of the collector,
says:
''The collector to whom such tax
rolls shall be deliverd shall proceed
and collect the sums OF money therein
specified, in the same manner and
with like authority in all respects as
in the collection of taxes imposed by
the board of supervisors of the coun-
ty, and shall, after deducting the
commission allowed by this act, re-
tain the remainder in the township
or city treasury and subject to the
orders of the township and city
boards as provided In sections five
and six of this act. The collector
shall give to each person paying the
tax on any dog, receipt for the
amount paid, which receipt shall
bear date on which payment is made,
shall describe the dog on which the
tax Was paid, and shall be numbered
with serial number and the year.
He shall also give to such person a
metal label that may be securely
affixed to dog collar. Such label
shall bear the serial number and
year, as does the receipt given, such
receipts and labels to be paid for
from the dog tax fund of said town
ship or city: Provided, That in
each and every case where the col
lector is unable to collect the tax in
the manner above specified prior to
the first day of February in each
year it shall be his duty to provide
the sheriff of such county with a
list of each and every dog upon
which such tax has not been paid
and it shall be the duty of the sheriff
of such county to levy upon each
and every dog upon which such tax
has not been paid wherever said
dog or dogs may be found, and it
shall further be his duty to take
possession Of said dog or dogs and
kill or cause the same to be killed.
The absence of before mentioned
label, or inability of owner to show
proper receipt, shall be sufficient
evidence that the tax on any dog
has not been paid.

Captain Walfred Been Induced
Swedes to Locate In
Baraga County.
SIXTY FAMILIES SETTLED
At Skanee, on the Shores of
Huron Bay-The Captains
Romantic Career.

Inc IOllOWlnS, reSarulnk tue
venerable Captain Walfred Been, of
Skanee, this county, is taken from
the Detroit News Tribune, OF May
Goth. The article was accompanied
by picture of the captain:
Capt. Walfred Been, who owns con-
siderable land out at Skanee, on the
shores of Huron Bay, who has the
blood OF the Swedish nobility flow
ing in his veins, and who spent
years sailing on the Atlantic, and
later on the great lakes, and who is
now one of the prominent upper
peninsula citizens, has had an in
teresting career. His place at
Skanee is one of the most beautiful
in the county There is colony
of sixty or more families, all
Swedish, whom he induced to Settle
upon homesteads in the vicinity Of
Skanee, and Been is a little king
among them. He has immense
orchards and farms and his place is
looked upon by the other Swedes as
their headquarters. He has been
supervisor of the township great
many years, is also postmaster, and
has held about every other Office
which Skanee affords. The captain
is now well along in years, but he
tells some interesting stories of the
early days of his life on the lakes,
He was born in Helsingborg,
Sweden, and studied medicine until
he was 20. Then he went to sea
during the summers and studied
navigation in the winter He sailed
in '46 for New York, and deserted
the ship there, afterward spending
five years on American vessels,
coming to the lakes in 1852. He
sailed the lakes for Eve years until
he lost his vessel, the Java, on Lake
Erie.
Gas early as 1857 he came to fish
in Lake Superior with Capt.
Bendry. At this early date he be-
came charmed with the natural
scenery at Huron Bay, and decided
to make that place his future home.
AT the time, the Indians were still
there in tribes. Capt. Been spent
five years fishing in the summer,
and hunting, trapping and explor-
ing in the winter. Then in GA he
took trip back to Sweden, and on
his way back met Miss Agnes Zellen,
who afterward became his wife. In
order to please his wife, the captain
made their home at Baraga for a
number Of years, but in II he and
his family returned to Huron Bay,
where they have since lived. He
was instrumental in getting the
state to build road from L 'Anse to
Skanee, 18 miles, about that time,
and had supervision of the work.
Through his energy, there is now a
very thriving community of settlers
with nice homes, schools and
churches, and an up-to-date popula-
tion at the little burg of Skanee. "

Where the United states Began.

Some of the marvellous changes
wrought by time in the appearance
OF four of the earliest settlements on
our Atlantic coast are strikingly il
lustrated in a series of views which
will shortly appear in the Ladies'
Home Journal. The places are ST.
Augustine, jamestown, Plymouth
and New York. The forlorn indica-
tions OF Jamestown's decay and
death as a settlement offer a most
interesting contrast to the varied
evidences OF the gradual develop
ment of st. Augustine and Ply
mouth, and of the gigantic growth
of modern New York.

and, losing his balance, fell to the
bottom of the stairway. A physi-
clan was summoned, and after ex-
amining and dressing the bruises
directed his legislative patient to
remain in bed. The persistent pain
which Mr.. Gordon suffered led the
physicians late in the afternoon, to
have him removed to the city hos
pital, where he could receive the
care OF trained nurse. The ply
siclan stated that while there were
no grave or internal injuries, the
bruises and shock suffered by Mr..

QUEER LITTLE NAMES.

The navy of the sultan of Morocco consists of one steamer. the Has sanie, with a Greek captain, Scotch engineer and Moorish crew.
 It is now almost forgotten that there cnce existed a navy owned by the republic of Texas, before It be- came state of the union. Its prin- cipal vessel was frigate, called the Houston, after Gen. Sam Houston.
 The navy of the black republic of Liberia on the Gold Coast consists of two gunboats wbichare alleged to have once been penny steamers on the Thames Their chief mission is to visit the remoter creeks and bays of the coast and collect taxes.
 An amazing navy was that which 20 years ago existed in Hawaii. Rob ert Louis. Stevenson has told the story of it's solitary vessel, the Kali miloa. There was an English ad- venturer named Gibson, who had led a revolt against the Dutch in Java. and subsequently, turned up in Homo lulu as Mormon missionary. He became prime minister to the native King kalakaua of Hawaii, and per- suaded him that his little kingdom ought to have modern navy. Hence this comic opera vessel.

An enameled bathtub can be quick ly and easily cleaned by securing with cloth wet with benzine and afterward washing with soap and water, or it can be secured with a tablespoonful of kitchen salt wet with turpentine and then rubbed carefully with clean cloth. When this latter method is employed care should be taken to see that the tub is perfectly dry before using the turpentine. When the enamel begins to wear off of your tub it is difficult to keep it clean. It should be re- enameled, and can be done at slight expense. The first thing to do is to scrub the tub with strong solution of oda and water. Let it dry, and apply the first coat of enamel; dry again for two days and apply the second coat After 24 hours, the time necessary to dry perfectly, fill it with cos1 water and let stand for six hours. Empty, dry thoroughly, and apply the third and last coat of enamel.-N. Y. Herald.

the law provided that she might be punished for perjury if she were con fronted by two witnesses. But the judge believed the officer told the truth and the witness did not and be cause the witness did not. instead of committing her for perjury, which could not be done by the testimony of one witness, the witness was committed ness whatever. Now this ought not to be thus; but how are we to remedy it! The new constitution ought to contain provisions for these complaints and Ii the laboring man, the working man, the machinist, the organized laborer were to combine there would be no trouble about securing the result. The great corporations, the capitalists, the bond holder will be at the convention just as sure as two and two make four. They will have plausible arguments, they will have able and gifted men, they will have schemes and combina- tions and they will surely be united for the protection of their common in terests. But if the laboring men unite, they can sweep everything before
 
 the people which would be a long step taken in the interests of the laboring men; they could have clause inserted in the new constitution which would mean no more government by injunc- ton. be no more power to issue in functions restraining the people from meeting or organizing. no more power in the judiciary to prohibit men from soliciting their" companions to organize A little clause in the constitution that juries should determine all the facts. Giving power to judges to determine the law only and not the facts, would largely, if not wholly. remedy these evils. For instance if a man should be arrested for violating Judge Gager's order of injunction in that he was seen standing in front of the Farrel foundry and Machine Company's factories watching the coming and going of the men and he were brought before Judge Gager and the evidence showed that he was there the probabilities are that Judge Gager would find the fact that the man was there for unlawful pur- pose and that he had violated his order he would probably commit him. If
 
 however, he was brought before a jury of course they would see that the order of injunction was open to construction and was capable of being violated by an innocent act. Indeed, one of the laws upon the statutes to-day. is, in spirit, totally opposed to judges exer cising arbitrary power in this manner That law says that in all criminal cases the jury shall be~the judges oi both the law and the facts, but the judges have construed this to mean that the jury are not to be the judges but they are to take the law from the judges and as the judges shall deliver it to them in their charges. These arc a few things which every man should think about before he casts his vote for a delegate to the constitutional convention.
