HOMEsTEADERs' TITLES.
Law Passed In 1890 the Cause
of Much Trouble.

The law passed in 1899 pledging
the state to defend the titles OF
homesteaders has caused lots OF
trouble. 1t has been found that in
some cases lands have been decided
to the state and occupied by home
steaders which were illegally sold.
In such cases the auditor general
has deemed it his duty to issue cer-
tificates of error, and as result the
homesteaders' title has been as
sailed. Land Commissioner Wildey
has now agreed with the auditor
general to begin an amicable suit to
determine the right of the latter
to issue certificates of error, and
proceedings will soon be COM
menced to settle this important
question.

Marquette Trotting Races.

A speedy 500 trotter took the
best race at the Marquette trotting
Monday afternoon. The Mining
Journal tells OF the event:
''The greatest interest in the mat
inee was evidenced in the event for
the 2:23 class. In this the entries
were Little Johnny, 500 horse,
driven by e. III. Forbes, and Rob
Rene, owned by Louis Saam, of the
copper country. The little horse
has been here before, but Little
Johnny was a stranger. This race
was touted as the best on the pro.
gram and the event showed that
the forecast was correct. 1t went
to Little Johnny in two straight
heats, but it was fought closely
enough to make it exciting, while
the finishes, particularly that of the
second heat, were as pretty as had
ever been seen here.
"This race was made the best two
in three heats, as it was desired to
enter both horses in the free-for-all
next day. There were no entries
beyond Little Johnny and Rob Rene.
The former horse was credited with
2:30i ard 2:2Si for the first and
second heats respectively"

FLOATER IDENTIFIED.
Found In the Waters Of Portage
Lake.

The floater found in the waters of
Portage Lake, opposite the Hennes
dock at Houghton Wednesday,
proved to be one Michael Kennedy,
an Irish laboring man, who has
made Houghton his home for some
time past.

upon the person OF the deceased, or
any papers to identify his home pre-
vious to locating in Houghton. 1t
is thought that Kennedy fell into
the lake while sleeping on the dock.

Mr.. Chas. Weytlert,

Dear Sir:
You asked me how ! am satisfied,
since you sharpened my gin saws.
The facts are, as to quality l
gin 2 to 81 bales moro q day than
before.
As to quality you can judge for
yourself as per enclosed no,ifca'
ton of sales Of lDy first shipment Of
80 bales of cotton; 80 Of which
classed middling fsir, one bale
good middling.
Of coarse, l attribute this elassi
fication partly to my superior and
well selected seed, but without gin
saws being properly sharpenea the
result weuld be different.
Yours Truly.

We will not say that people here
arc hypercrisical, for that is nci-
Their just nor true. They are for.
bearing to fault with many things.
But they are critical III their at
titude to theatrical entertainments.
For one thing, they know what's
what. Within comparatively easy
distance Of New Orleans, they have
had opportunities to enjoy some
Of tho best histrionic talent the
world affords. They have seen
from time to time, pretty much
everything. They have run tho
galnut Of dramatic sensations from
the high G Of the + rench Opera to
the lecture ~ that accompanies the
stert opticon show. They KNOW.
But because of thMt knowledge
they fail in two things. First, in
patronage Of such theatrical troupos
as cone TO town, and second in
lcniency Of criticism to those they
actually patrOniSe. And these two
circumstances literally tie the hands
Of the Pythian opera house man
agemtht. The uncertainty of
adequate patronage prevents the
latter from getting the best talent
that can be induced to como to
small town, off tho main line !;
while the exceedingly adverse criti'
cism that well.meant efforts are met
with discOurages, disheaVtehs the
management.
Why not change all this ! Every
one can't, all the time, 80 to New
OrleanO To sec the stars In the his
trioniC Ornament. Some can't 60
at all, from one cause or another,
and not always for the want o!
money. Then why not make the
best Of home BY encouraging the
home theatre Other towns de.
wise means to get very good talent.
1t must be by patronage in some
form or another. The Pyihian
hall manager says he could get this
place admitted to the ''circuit" that
includes some Of the best towns in
Mississippi along the Illinois Cen
trail railroad. But he IL afraid to
risk it. The trouble seems to be
3 mutual lack Of confidence. On the
one hand fear of inadequate put.
lie patronage, on the other a dis
trust of the real worth Of any pro-
posed entertainment. Some basis
of mutual confidence must be es-
tablisbed, and it looks as if moth
ing better could DO done than to
Join some circuit that in the past
has been served with good plays.
This will beget confidence on tho
part of the public, which in turn,
should come to the rescue Of the
management and make "the season"
a profitable one to this matter Of
home enterprise.
