HoUGHTON, M1CH.-The action Of the re-
publican convention at Calumet last night in
instructing the delegation for c. A. Wright
practically assures Houghton county for
Wright. This will leave H. o., Youngs of
Ishpeming with approximately half Of the
votes in the congressional convention and

each. The action of the district convention
cannot be predicted with certainty, but

The experiments in feeding cattle, which
are being conducted on the Cook farm, under
the direction OF the Iowa State college, will
prove a hard blow to certain patent stock
foods. The showing that will be made by
the Forthcoming bulletin has been kept quiet,
but it is learned from a gentleman who
visited the experiment grounds that some
Of the foods used proved failures. Three
animals fed on cotton meal died and the rest
of the herd that was being fed on this sub
stance was hurried to market. Other patent
foods have been shown to be less valuable
for food than straw and corn alone. Glucose
preparations have proven great success and
dried blood has been shown to possess re-
markable fattening qualities.

Obituary Notice.

Ida Ethel Avise, youngest child of
Mr.. and Mrs. James Avise, died at her
home near Jackson, May 9th, at the
age OF III years l month and 81 days.
Little Ethel was never robust child.
For the past two years she has suffered
from heart disease, and for months she
has been unable to lie down, her par
ents often holding her in their arms so
she could rest. She had been able to
be around the house until Thursday,
when she was stricken down never to
get up again. Her sufferings at times
were severe as she would struggle for
breath, and often she would want to be
taken up; again she would grow
weary and want to lie down. On Tues
day it became apparent to all that her
hours were few. Several times during
her last illness she called for two OF
her playmates from South Jackson.
On Sunday they went to see her, but
she failed to recognize them. On Tues
day afternoon they again went to see
her. She was sleeping. When she
awoke she was asked if She .wanted to
see them, and she said Yes They
were called into the room, and to her
cSNoheaO' ohO iOOhOu dG bu6Il Will 6y0
already dim, and asked that they
should kiss her. Then she called for
her box of candy, and with little fingers
already stiffened in death she tried to
take some for each of them. When it
was placed in her hand she opened her
eyes and asked: "Where is Cynthia
and Ethel, 1 can't see them" After
she had given them the candy they left
the room, and in short time she laid
her head wearily on one side and said:
''Good-by. I'm going to sleep for an
hour" Alas, it was the sleep that
knows no waking, and in a few
moments she was no more. She was
the idol of the home, and will be greatly
missed by all. Her chair at the table
by her fathers side is vacant, and the
sound of her voice through the house
will be heard no more. Brothers and
sisters will come and go, but no little
sister will spring to welcome them.
Dear ones, do not grieve, for she has
only crossed the dark river a little
while before you, and is waiting with
sister and brother to welcome you to
that land where partings never come.
She has left to mourn her loss, father,
mother, four brothers and four sisters.

Want a New Voting Precinct.

Harvey Calvin, of the Calvin Sta
ton, was in Jackson Monday on bust
ness with the board of supervisors.
He and others in Pioneer district are
endeavoring to get new election pre-
cinct created, to be carved out of
Antelope and Pine Grove precincts.
He says there are 60 names of residents
and voters in the proposed new pre-
cinct signed to the petition in it's favor.
AS it is now some have had to travel
as far as eight or nine miles in order to
vote. This is hardship that should
not be tolerated where fully so voters
can be gathered in a much smaller
precinct. Some of the old time voters
of the upper section are tired of this
self-sacrifice in order to exercise the
right of suffrage, and say if they are
not granted new precinct, which will
relieve them to some extent from this
inflistion, they will not vote. But, of
course, they will get over this when
the cOmpaign warns up. You can't
keep an American citizen from voting
on account of a trifling walk of ten or
twelve miles to get to the ballot box.
Anyhow their request under the Cir
cumstances is not an unreasonable one.

Sunday Closing Movement.

We, the undersigned merchants OF

ware, furniture, boots, shoes, clothing,

agree to close our respective establish
ments every Sunday, beginning on

including the 5th day of October, 1902:

Thomas, V. Giovannoni & Co., Kelley
Bros, S. Axelrod. There are two
other firms to be added to the above
list. If these names can be obtained,
this laudable movement will be crowned
with success. If they decline to join,
of course the whole thing will be drop
ped. 1t would never do for one or two
business places to remain open and all
the rest agree to close. That would be
unjust to those willing to close. The
Ledger hopes all will fall in line, as nc
merchant will lose any business if all
houses are closed on Sunday. The
same amount of business done in seven
days, would be done in six, and the
merchants and employees would have a
day of rest, which they are certainly
entitled. to.

Big Fire at 0leta.

The news reached Jackson Monday
morning that the business portion of the
town of Oleta was practically wiped out
early that morning. The fire started
in the United States hotel, about 5
O'Clock that morning, while preparing
for breakfast. The facilities for fight
ing fire are meager, there being scant
supply of water. The flames spread
rapidly, and jumped across the street.
In brief space the town was literally
wiped out. We have been unable to
get the full particulars, but are in
formed both hotels, United States and
Townsend House, two saloons. drug
store, and three dwellings, with all
their contents, were destroyed. All
the buildings were frame, and disap-
peared in smoke very quickly. The
loss is hard to compute. 1t will prob
ably amount to between S15, 900 and
$780, 900. The aggregate insurance
amounted to less than $1,000. The fire
is serious blow to the struggling town.
1t has been in depressed condition for
a number of years, and this heavy blow
coming after a prolonged siege of dull
ness, makes it doubtful if the burned
district will be speedily restored.

MINING NOTES.

The Bay State Mining Company set
tied for delinquent state and county
taxes last Monday. The taxes have
been allowed to go delinquent for sew
eral years. The sum of 1896. 90 was paid
on account of delinquent taxes, and also
the amount due for taxes for the
current; making considerably over
$1,000 paid by this company. This is
an augury that the outlook for the
mine is encouraging, and the intention
OF the present company to complete its
purchase.
KEYSTONE.-The first full monthly
cleanup of the Keystone since the ad-
dltlonal stamps were added was made
recently and the result was highly sat-
lsiactory. Five thousand tons were
crushed during April The yield
averaged about 81 per ton. This is a
low grade, but still good paying
proposition under the improved con-
ditions of mining that now exists at
the keystone. 1t was expected to
start the air compressor to run the
holsting machinery yesterday. An
other economical move under con-
temptation is to have all drilling ma
chimes of the same make, and the Rand
drills have been selected as the most
efficient. Six of these machines will
be installed. The ore is taken from
the 900 level and levels above, and the
ore bodies are so vast in the east vein.
upon which the present prospects of
the mine are based, that there is no
Likelihood of searching below the
present works for long time. About
100 men are on the pay roll; the use Of
machine drills having reduced the
working force to some extent.
BUNKER HILL.-The pay ore en-
countered in this mine as stated last
week, has widened out. 1t is now re-
ported that the ledge of high grade
rock is two feet thick.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS case of
the Argonaut Mining Company against
the Kennedy Mining Company, which
has been dragging its slow pace through
the courts for the last seven years, was
argued before the United States Su-
preme Court in Washington on May
lst, and submitted. A decision NAV
be rendered in a month, but it may be
SIX months before the matter is de-
cided.

Back Broken.

Dr. Gall was called to Bear river
camp again last Sunday, on account oI
serious accident that occurred there,
by which a man named Vic Ferrara
received injuries that will proba bl Y
disable him for life. Ferrara was en-
plOyed upon the dam that is being
built at that camp. In hoisting by
means of derrick an immense rock
that had been blasted from the quarry,
one of the guy ropes broke, and the
boom or pole fell, striking Ferrara
below the shoulders, injuring the spinal
column. The victim was paralyzed
below the hips. He was tenderly cared
for as far as possible, at the camp, and
preparations were at once made to con-
vey him to Jackson. The soft snow
between Bear river and Hams station
precluded the possibility of conveying
him by sled. The only alternative was
to carry him on a litter over this stretch
OF fourteen miles. This. was done.
Twelve men were needed for this SER
vice, six at time changing at short
intervals. 1t took them only five hours
to reach Ham S station. From Ham s
he was brought down by conveyance,
and reached here about o'clock Mon
day afternoon. The Standard Electric
Company are setting a noble example
in cases OF accident to employees. In
this instance they bore all the expense
of surgical attendance, conveying the
patient to Jackson, and will pay for
nursing, maintenance and medical at
tention here. The patient stood the
ordeal of the trip remarkably we'll.
DR.. Gall reports that he was much i'm
proved Tuesday morning. The sense
of feeling extended at that time to his
knees. Hopes are entertained for his
recovery.
