A GRAND SUCCESS.
Oyster supper and Fancy Bazaar
Held In the Town Hall
Thursday Evening.

The annual oyster supper and
fancy bazaar held in the Town Hall
in this village, Thursday evening,
for the benefit OF the M. E. church,
was a complete success in every
particular, and as usual proved
highly enjoyable. The attendance
was large, and every one present
enjoyed themselves to the limit.
The hall was arranged in attract
i've style, the various booths pre-
senting very pretty appearance,
and were filed with beautiful and
useful articles. In the center of the
spacious room tables we're loaded
with choice eatables, and oysters
were served in all styles.
Besides the booths containing
fancy articles, a Chinese booth,
presided over by ladies dressed in
Chinese costumes, was arranged
upon the stage, where you could
procure a dish OF rice served with
chop sticks, and a cup of tea; at this
booth each person was presented
with souvenir cup and saucer.
Then there was pie table and a
candy table. The valentine post
Office was well patronized, and
was the source of much amusement.
The remembrance table was filled
with beautiful fancy articles con-
tributed by people who formerly re-
sided in L'Anse.
The souvenir book, containing
nearly fifty pen and ink sketches of
buildings in L'Anse, Pequaming
and the M. e. Mission, was in great
demand, and the artist, Rev..J. M.
Shank, received many aattering
compliments.
"Meg Merrilies, the fortune
teller (Miss Emma Menge), was
kept busy revealing the past,
present and future, which furnished
great amusement for many.
Much more could be said regard
ing the affair, did time and space
permit.
The proceeds will amount to fully
S2SO.OO or over, as some articles
have been sold since the night of
the fair

ONE MORE KIDNAPPING.
A Copper Country Boy Was
Captured by Four
Men.


VIM. Kingshot, of Lake Linden,
Sunday night, has just come out, it
having been kept quiet by the Of
ficers in the hope OF arresting the
abductors. Kingshot, who is 18
years old, was captured by four
men near his home Sunday evening
and held in custody for two hours,
when his captors were frightened
away. BY some the abduction is
regarded as intended for a practical
joke, but in view of the abduction Of
young Raymond Thierry, and the
recent attempts to blackmail Chas.
Briggs, president OF the Merchants
& Miners bank OF Calumet, for
$4,000, by the threat of kidnapping
his son, such "jokes are viewed
with great suspicion.
A curious judicial dilemma de-
veloped in Iron Mountain Tuesday,
when it was discovered that Justice
Frank Arthur, OF Charming, had
sentenced Joseph Jerue to the
county jail for fifteen days on war
rant charging assault with intent to
do bodily harm. Sheriff Cudlip
brought the prisoner to Jail on a
commitment reading; assault by
setting fire to garments. Prose
cutting Attorney Hammond is much
exercised over the matter, claiming
the justice could only give the ac-
cused preliminary hearing on such
warrants. He will order the re-
lease of the prisoner. A suit for
false Imprisonment may follow.
d. N. Mcleod, OF Newberry, and
Terry Seaman, OF Bay Mills, have
gone to Chicago, where the former
will buy seven miles OF 40-pound
steel for a new logging railroad and
two cars OF horses. Mr.. Scaalan
will assist him. Mr.. Mcleod has
taken a contract to log 30, 900, 600
feet of pine twelve miles east of
Grand Marais for the Hall q Mum
son Co. He will cut it in two years
The roadbed is graded and ready
for the steel, and that will be laid as
quickly as the snow disappears. Mr..
Mcleod is running several camps
this winter.
A South Shore train was bowling
along near Mass City last week
when eight deer appeared on the
track in front Of the engine. The
engineer tried to scare them away
but they wouldn't go, and he finally
had to stop the train to avoid run
ring them down and killing them,
and perhaps getting game warden
after him for killing deer out of
season.
1t is proposed to establish mum
cipal court at Menominee and reduce
the number of justices of the peace
to two. This court will have juris-
diction in all criminal cases and in
civil cases where sums not exceed
ing $500 are involved. The Judge is
to be elected by the people or APP
pointed by the council, and he will
be lawyer Of good standing, whose
remuneration will be large enough
to allow him to devote his entire
time to the work.
Engine No. 13, of a Chicago, Mil
waukee Il st. Paul extra freight
train, jumped the track at 3 o'clock
Wednesday morning, at Carney's
Spur, Ii miles south OF Iron Noun
tain. No one was injured.
At Iron Mountain Wednesday the
2-year old baby OF Adolph Anderson
was seriously shot in the left
shoulder by Willie Olson, ten year
old boy visitor, who was playing

volver.

FERTILIZER FACTORY.
Report That Chicago Capitalists Will
Build One at Mt. Pleasant.

A correspondent from Mt. Pleasant
to the Manufacture Record at Balti-
more says that number of gentlemen
owning phosphate property at Mt.
Pleasant not embraced in the proposed
consolidation are ON a deal with Chica-
go capitalists for the erection of a
5000, 900 fertilizer factory at Mt. Pleas
ant The correspondent also states that
there is plenty of phosphate rocK not
in the combine to feed such a facotry
several years.
This may or may not be true. While
there is some good property, no doubt,
that is not included in the cOnsolida-
tion. it is doubtful If there is enough
to run fertilizer factory of the capaci-
ty indicated for several years. The
overwhelming bulk Of phosphate rock
at Mt. Pleasant is in the consolidation.
However. the report is evidently a
pipe dream. The Herald has inter
viewed gentlemen inside and outside
the consolidation and none Of them
know anything Of the proposed factory.

COURT OF INQUIRY'S
FINDINGS ARE FINAL.
Even the Supreme Court Could Not
Reverse its Decision in
Schley Case.

Washington, Aug. 26 If the court Of
inquiry recommends that Admiral Sch.
ley be punished for cowardice, disobed-
ience of orders and conduct unbecoming
an officer of the navy, he will have ab
solutely no redress in the civil courts of
the land. Even the august Supreme
Court with its mighty power, could not
reverse the finding of the paval tribu-
nal and restore to Schley his good name
taken away by the trio of admiras that
will sit in the unfinished gun shop down
at the navy yards.
IL has been decided over and over
again, that when military court has
jurisdiction, and has acted within its
lawful powers, its action cannot be re-
viewed or set aside by the civil courts.
AS to a court of inquiry, such court is
not court in the legal sense of the
term, but rather, counsel, commission
or board Of investigation. 1t does not
administer justice; no plea or special
ssue is presented to it for trial; its pro
ceedings are not trial of guilt or in
nocencc; it does not come to verdict OF
pass sentence.

OIL WELLS TO BE BORED.
Preparations Have Been Made for
Sinking Wells in Perry County
Immediately.

Rev. J. F. Lackey, who has been in
terested in the discovering of oil in
Middle Tennessee, was in Columbia
this week He stated to reporter of
the Herald that he had made all neces-
sary arrangements to begin boring for
oil on the Perry county property which
he has under lease. He has contracted
with a gentleman who has been boring
in the Beaumont, Tex, field, to take
charge of and superintend the work.
Machinery has been ordered and will
be placed right away and work will
begin. Mr.. Lackey also has associated
with him Prof. J. H. Hines, of
Lebanon.
Mr.. Lackey is very confident that he
will strike big gushers in Perry county.
Gentlemen from here who have viewed
the indications there express the
opinion that proper investigation will
reveal rich wells of petroleum. The
property is located on Coon creek,
seven miles east of Linden, the county
seat of Perry county.
Mr. Lackey has with him samples
through which the oil is said to seep,
and it burns freely when applied to 9
lighted match. He proposes to sell
shares at the rate of $40 share in the
property and if the indications par
out few shares will likely make one
rich. From a description of the sur
face indications at the point named
the Perry county field gives the most
promise of any that has yet attracted
attention.

GUSHER RUNS WILD.
Great Oil Well at Beaumont Uncon.
trolled, and Flooding the
Country With Oil.

Beaumont. Tex, Aug. 26-Two men
are dead and one of the largest oil gush
ers iu the world is gong absolutely wild,
utterly defying the mechanical skill of
man to stop it. The famous oil field
presents tonight the possibility of one
of the direst calamities which ever visi-
ted Texas, should fire join forces with
the great gushers. 1t may be that the
night will pass safely, but tomorrow S
sun will rise and the gusher will yet be
splitting itself on the prairies and flood
ing the country with oil.
The two men who are dead to night
as result of their bravery are James
Smith and John McDaniels
Smith died trying to shut off the
gusher and McDaniels died trying to
save Smith. Both men showed great
heroism.
The scene of the wild gusher to night
is on block 80 In Spindle Top heights,
a subdivision of the John A. Veatch
League, which has come to be known
as the Hogg Swayne syndicate tract,
and where is gathered together, perhaps,
more oil wells than any other place in the
world Of the same size. The we'll be-
longs to the Palestine Beaumont Oil
Company. The well was supposed to
be about ready to come in, but was not
expected before tomorrow at the ear
liest.

Louisville, Aug. 27 The twenty eighth
triennial conclave of the Grand Encamp-
ment of Knights Templsr began here to-
day. This morning at $50 o'clock the
great parade took place and it is esti
mated that at least 10000 Knights were
in line of march. The parade was the
greatest in the history of the order, ex-
tending over route of four miles. The
line of march was futtering show of
bunting, flags and streamers. There are
at least 100000 visitors in the city. Ho-
tells and other hotelries are crowded to
the doors with guests, and visitors also
occupy steamboats, moored to the wharf
and Pullman sleepers parked in different
parts of tho city.
The city was scintillating glow OF
lights last night when the festivities OF
the week we're inaugurated at the cds-
tomhouse with reception to the grand
encampment officers and ladies'. Grand
Commander Jefferson, of Kentucky,
made brief speech of welcome, to
which Grand Master Lloyd responded
happily.

for the conclave will be one of the last
things to come before the grand encamp
ment. st. Paul is strong candidate;
Milwaukee is making strong bid and
San Francisco is also represented by an
earnest band of vigorous advocates.
Denver and Cincinnati are in line. while
st. Louis aid various cities of New Eng
land are regarded as possibilities.

BRYAN NOT DEAD YET.
Senator Carmack Says He Is Still q
Factor to Be Reckoned With.

Senator E. w. Carmack has arrived in
Washington, and has given out the
following statement in regard to the
political situation:
81 see no necessity for preaching a
funeral grafton over Mr.. Bryan, al
though I think it doubtful whether Mr..
Bryan will ever run for the presidency
again. He is still very much alive,
and is factor to be reckoned with.
He is by no means dead, but is young
man apparently having many years of
activity before him. ''The people of
Tennessee, . the Senator added, ''are
intensely interested in the naval con-
troversy between Admiral Schley and
Sampson. They are on Schley's side
and believe he has been unjustly
treated by the navy department. Per-
sonallv, l have some doubt whether it
will be possible to get at the sources
of evidence in the controversy. The
navy department itself has much al
stake in the proceedings and should
the verdict be in favor of Schley it will
be severe blow to those authorities Of
the navy department who have been
responsible for its policy The officials
who have the evidence in their hands
or under their control will, fear, make
it difficult to get at the whole truth
should that be unfavorable to them
selves"

SHOCKING MURDER.
Negro Demon Kills Mrs. Chas. vii.
Iiams IN Franklin County.
Then Fires at Her Little Boy.-Coun-
try Much Wrought Up and
Lynching Probable.

Winchester, Tenn. Aug. 23.-Lying
on the floor of the family room, with
her face splashed with clotted life blood
and the oaken planks stained with the
same precious drops, Charles Williams
found his devoted wife this evening
when, at dusk, he returned iron; mark
citing his wheat in the little town of
Maxwell. A heavy bullet had crashed
through her head, life was completely
extinct. and her two baby children
were crying aloud their grief and fear
at what had transpired before the ar
rival of the father. Under the reassur-
ing presence of his father the oldest, a
boy aged 5, told of what occurred dur
ing his parent absence.
The young mother had been shot and
killed by Henry Noles, a negro band
upon the Williams place. AS the NOR
tally wounded woman sank to the floor
Noles turned the smoking weapon upon
the little boy, outlet grazing the
child head. With the bloody evidence
of his visit left behind, he ran through
the back door of the house and fed to
the woods.
This is all that has been heard at
On the receipt of the news Sheriff
Stewart departed at once for the scene
with bloodhounds. 1t is stated here
that posse Of determined citizens,
well armed and provided with rope,
are also on Noles trail and if taken
the blood thirsty black will be given
short shrift. He stands small show Of
escape, too, with the country side
wrought up as it is.
1t is reported here that the motive of
the crime was robbery, and that twenty
dollars was obtained by the murderer
before he fed the scene. II this is true
he will pay high price for the paltry
amount if he is captured.
Mr.. Williams is farmear. Though not
wealthy, he is we'll to-do, and one of
the most prominent residensts Of this
section of Franklin county.
The negro is about 10 years of age,
and was employed upon the farm.
