More Than Three Hundred Thousand

1t has been said that the Pan Amer
lean Exposition will be a Rainbow
City nv day and City of Light by night,
and If this be true it should prove the
most beautiful sight Of its kind ever
created for the delectation of the hui
man vision.
Much has been written about the illu-
limitations of the Exposition. but the
public is scarcely aware of the mag
nifcence Of the scene which is to be
created 10y the use of incandescent
lights in such generous profusion about
the main court Of the Exposition and
the buildings Immediately surrounding
it. When one says that 100000 Of
these lights are to be used. the figures
look large, but they are nevertheless
true Nor does this include all the
lights that are TO be used in the general
Illumination uf the Exposition, for on
the Midway several concessions, such
as the Thompson Aeric Cycle, Streets
OF Mexico and some others will use as
many as 1000 lights each. In the
buildings and about the border Of the
grounds will he arc lights, while mean
descent lamps will also be used by
many individual exhibitors Thus the
figures 100000 will be considerably iu-
creased. The illumination Of the Elec-
trio Tower is going to he not only as
,tonishing ana novel, but truly artistic.

This reminds us Of the early
bird which catches the worm--a
pleasant experience for the bird
but hard for the worm. We SO

about the wegther, so sheared their

We heard that other farmers lost
several.
There has been considerable talk
about an electric railroad from
Lexington to town. There is a
disposition to guarantee right Of

The most pleasant experience of
the trip was our stay at the COL
lege on Friday night. We much
enjoyed the talk with the principal,
Mrs. j. B. Skinner. For the first
time we met her corps of teachers.
We are pleased to know the College
is in prosperous condition.
On Friday enroute to town we
called at the country home Of Rev.
G. w. Dick. He had gone fishing.
On Saturday we met Mr. Mr. JAS. Bry-
ant and made inquiry of the par
son. He had gone fishing. We
wish him much success as a fisher
of men.
On Saturday morning enroute to
Plum we stopped near the home of
X. Z. Moore, where is the Horton
burying ground. The sacred spot
is now in a pasture unprotected by
fence or enclosure of any kind.
Here are several graves--some Of
which have fine specimen of stone
sarcophage. The Oldest slab which
we saw bore the name of William
Horton. born January 20, 1862,
died July 2, 1872 The ravages of
time have caused the reading of the
inscriptions to be rather difficult.
We were alone so could ask no
questions. We reflected upon the
passing away of the country grave
yarG-especially with the next
generation.
On Saturday we passed through
Plum, went by Pat Henry's store

we were off for Mt. Sterling.

UNLUCKY MANS LIFE.
Tragic Death was in Keeping
With His Chaotic Life.

After life Of vicissitude, extend
ing over 66 years, Adam Garlick, of
Altoona, Pa the most unfortunate
man in Pennsylvania, was run down
and killed at Tatesville, Bedford
county. Garlick served five years
in the civil war and was discharged
after Appomattox without scratch.
Then his troubles began.
He opened sawmll and had two
fingers cut off the first day he oper-
ated it. When he came on duty
again he fell and broketa leg. He
broke the same member four times
before he recovered. The sum of
his misfortunes is as follows: He
had both feet mashed; was cut on
the wrist and foot by an axe;
dragged down the mountain by a
runaway team; one of his ears torn
off, and his jaw broken in three
places; bitten by rattlesnake; was
run over by wagon loaded with
ton of coal; was so severely stung
by honey bees that he was uncon-
scious for hours; cut in the abdomen
with an axe; knocked down by a
grindstone and all OF his ribs broken;
one Of his ankles was cut while he
was peeling bark and the other
lacerated while he was moving.
Before he died Garlick figured up
he bad been in bed something like
ten years during the last thirty
years OF his life. His tragic death
on the rail was in keeping with his
life ofvicissitude.

GETS AN IMMENSE INCOME.
But Says He Will Die q
Comparatively Poor
Man.

Now that Andrew Carnegie is as
good as "sold out" says a New
York dispatch, his friends are gos-
siping on what he will do with his
great wealth. Carnegie stated two
years ago that he would devote him
self and the major portion of his
wealth to public benefactions, and
that he expected to die com
paratively poor man.
Carnegie is reticent. The only in
dication he has given his friends is
contained in this remark 81 cal
culate upon a million month for
libraries and organs.
1t is figured that after the steel
deal is closed Carnegie S income will
be sl5, 900, 600 year. If he carries
out his expressed intention of
spending a million month he will
have a comfortable balance, enough
to keep the wolf a considerable
distance from his door.

and Saltwater intermediate sta
tions, also ST. Paul, Minneapolis
and intermediate stations and on
the Great Northern between Duluth
aud Minneapolis and intermediate
stations. All st. Paul, Northwest
ern and Wisconsin Central mileage
books will hereafter be accepted on
the roads OF the South Shore sys-
TEN. This agreement will be Of
great benefit to the people of north
ern Michigan, and particularly to
commercial men, who have hereto
fore been compelled to carry mile
age for all numerous roads. Its in
auguration will be a very popular
agreement. 1t became effective
February 18th.

ON Tax Commission APP
pointments.
w.T.DUsT AND c. d. LAYTON
Are the Men ChOsen-Upper
Peninsula Ignored En-
tirely.

Governor A. T. Bliss Wednesday
afternoon sent to the senate the
names of G. d. Lawton, of Lawton,
and Regent Of the University VIM.
T. Dust, OF Detroit, to be members
of the state tax commission. The
former has the two year term and
Mr.. Dust the four-year term. James
G. Mclaughlin, of Muskegon, was
recently appointed as the third
member.
The governor states that he would
have appointed Geo. A. Newett, of
Ishpeming, if the upper peninsula
people could have agreed upon him,
but the Ishpeming corporation in
terests said that it was Mr.. Newett
or nothing, and this is the reason
the upper peninsula is not rep
resented. The governor also states
that the appointment of Professor
Lawton was in the nature of COM
promise, as Mr.. Lawtou is miner
al statistician and is very familiar
with the business and mining con-
ditions 10 the upper peninsula.
The governor changed his mind a
dozen times during the last three
weeks, before he finally agreed up
on these appointments. His final
decision is regarded as direct slap
at Senator T. A. Atwood, who
worked hard for Newett and who
was considered one of the governor S
closest political advisors. The
bresrh between them is said to
be rapidly widening.
