Items OF Interest Taken From
Our Exchanges and
Condensed.
AN IMMENSE FISH.
176- Pound Sturgeon on Ex-
hibitiOn at Calu-
met.

One OF the largest fish that was
ever caught in Lake Superior was
on exhibition at Quello's meat mar
ket in Calumet this week. It is q
sturgeon weighing 175 pounds and
was shipped to Calumet from
Houghton. 1t is certainly an i'm
mense fish, and will doubtless at
tract a great many people to the
market.
There have been about 80 pounds
of sugar beet seeds distributed
among the farmers OF Houghton
county during the summer as an ex-
pertinent. The culture Of sugar
beets in the upper peninsula promi-
ses to become general as the beets
can be raised to advantage in the
soil of this part OF the state. The
farmers cultivating the beets will
send samples to the state agricult-
ural college for analysis.
A meeting of the Upper PENN
sula Medical association will be held
in Ishpeming Tuesday and Wednes,
day, July Is and 16. A large num-
ber of the physicians of the PENN,
sula are expected to attend. On
the evening of the 14th, the visitors
will be rendered a banquet at the
Nelson House.
A well known Menominee woman
received last week a rather strange
gift. 1t came by mail and was in
closed in a cigar box neatly wrapped
up. The lady suspecting nothing
out of the ordinary, opened the box
and was almost frightened to in
sensibility when she lifted the cover
and saw coiled in the box garter
snake. The snake hissed and darte6
out its tongue, and screaming the
woman ran out of the room. The
box and snake were turned over tC
the chief of police. Friends of the
woman in question are at a loss te
account for the unusual occurrence
The snake was about a foot and 9
half long but is Of the non poison
Gus species. The matter is being
thoroughly investigated and the
United States postal authorities
have been asked to look into it.
Several towns throughout the
upper peninsula are being flooded
with counterfeit half dollars. Th'
coins are said to be perfect imita
tions of the government issue, bu
to drop one OF them on a solid sur
face is all that is needed to detec
the counterfeit.
