"Mr. Hebard was never wholly

he was adopted by the state as

honors from its citizens, one of the
most cherished of which was his
election as q regent of the great
state university. AS man, Charles
Hebard was one of natures noble
men, polished gentleman in every

ready to give to every good work
of the abundance which his business
acumen in the prosecution of legiti-
mate enterprise had given him and,

Baraga County Republicans VIII
Send Stearns Delegates to
the State Convention.
GOVERNOR GETS A SLAP
For Turning Down the Republic
cans and Appointing Demo-
crat Judge of Probate.

The Republican county conven-
tion was held in Othe Town Hall in
Baraga Wednesday afternoon to
elect two delegates to the state
convention to be held 10 Detroit
June 26. John Nester, of Baraga,
was chosen chairman OF the meet
ing, and Charles H. Anderson, of
Skanee, secretary. The committee
on credentials reported the follow
ing delegates present:
Arvon township-Charles H..
Anderson, Axel Erickson.
Baraga township-John Nester,
S. Clements, Joseph Gingras, James
Mcmahon, Charles Auge, Joseph
Peters, George E. Ibbottson, F. w.
Schwalm.
Covington township-not repre-
sented.
L'Anse township-Precinct No. !,
Octave Sicotte, H. ]. Seifert, Chas.
Rambaud, Martin Voetsch, Geo. o.
Beehler. Precinct No. 2 was not
represented.G
Spur township-John Pote.
The delegates were unanimous in
denouncing Governor Bliss for
turning down the Republicans of
Baraga county in appointing a
Democrat to the Office OF Judge OF
probate. The two delegates elected
to the state convention-James
Mcmahon and F. W. Schwalm,
were instructed to cast the vote of
Baraga county for ]. S. Stearns
for governor, and under no considera-
tion to vote for Bliss.
The action Of the convention is
highly approved of, and should
Bliss succeed in landing the nomi-
nation, he will get mighty few votes
in Baraga county.

Q Commissioners Will Receive Bids
for Building One In
Baraga 20.
PLANS ARE NOW ON FILE.
Bids Will Be Examined at q
Meeting of the Commits
siOners July 7th.

The poor commissioners of Bar
aga county have decided to ad-
vertise for bids for the construction
building on the county poor farm
located about three miles from
L'Anse. Bids will be opened by
the board at meeting to be held
July 7th.
The board has received plans for
new building similar to one built
at Manistique for the county of
Schoolcraft three or four years ago,
and it seems to be the opinion of
of the members that just such a
building would be suitable for this
county. The Schoolcraft county
building cost $1,000, and is a
two-story frame structure with a
wing on either side. It is likely,
however, that such a building
erected at this time would cost
more, on account Of the increase in
cost of labor and material. If a
building is to be erected at all it
WILDE after the style OF the one at
Manistique.
In the event Of the commissioners
awarding contract for the con-
struction of poor house, the board
of supervisors will appropriate 5000
towards the building of a highway
to the premises.
The plans and specifications may
be seen by inquiring of John Q.

THE LATE CHARLES HEBARD
A Few Facts Regarding His
Noble and Useful
Career.

THE SENTINEL had anticipated in
to.day's issue giving detailed ac-
count of the life Of the late Hon.
Charles Hebard, from the pen of
one who had known him intimately
for many years, and it is with the
greatest disappointment we state
our inability to do so.
Charles Hebard was born at LIE.
banon, Conn, Jan. 9, 1881. His
father, Larned Hebard, was direct
descendant OF Robert Hebard, the
original founder of the Hebard
family in the United States, and an
early settler in the New England
colonies. His mother was Miss
Strong, of the old Connecticut
family, and a direct descendant OF
Gov. Bradford, of that state.
He went to w. E. Dodge, of New
York, in the capacity of clerk in 1853,
and after being two years in the
employ of this firm he was made
superintendent and given charge OF
the immense numbering interests,
comprising over $4,000 acres of
timber land. He started in at $5( 0
year, and his salary was gradually
advanced until it reached 81, 800 a
wear. He remained with the firm
as superintendent and manager OF
their large numbering plant for IL
years, aud resigned to go into
partnership with A. G. p. Dodge, a
son of his employer. They were
eminently successful in their new
enterprise.
After leaving the firm in 1872 Mr..
Hebard came to Michigan and To-
Gated at Detroit, residing there dur
ing the years of 1872, 'z3 and "a,
and organized the firm of Hebard,
Hawley & Co.
In 1877 Mr.. Hebard came to
Michigan once more, this time
directly to Baraga county The
following year he built his immense
mill at Pequaming, which has been
iu continuous operation ever since.
He was regent of the University OF
Michigan from 1888 until 1894.
Mr.. Hebard married Miss Mary
A. Case at Tobyhamna, Pa, in 1858.
They have four children: Julia E.;
Charles S., junior member OF the
firm of Charles Hebard & Sen;
Mary E.; and Daniel L., of the firm
of H. L. Taylor & Co., Of North
Tonawanda, N. Y.
Regarding Mr.. Hebard, the fol-
lowing editorial tribute is taken
from the Houghton Mining Gazette:
'In the death OF Hon. Charles
Hebard at his winter home in Chest
NUT Hill, Philadelphia's beautiful
and aristocratic suburb, the upper
peninsula and, indeed, the entire
state OF Michigan, have lost firm
friend and most prominent citizen.
Associated in his early life with the
famous William E. Dodge, Of New
York, Mr.. Hebard seemed to have
breathed in many OF the latter's
courtly qualities and for years was
one of the most courteous, cultured
and kindly men identified with

Big Raft Of Logs.

The tugs Hebard and Major Dana
towed one of the largest RATS of
logs ever floated in this district to
Bayfield, this week, says the Hough-
ton Gazette. There were over three
million feet of logs in the raft, which
was towed from Union Bay, near
Ontonagon. The logs are owned by
D. ). Norton, the well known lum-
herman, who will dispose Of them to
Wisconsin parties. The logs were
cut during the past winter in the

Tariff and the Trusts.

The Republicans care very little about the issue of imperialism, ai- though the new-fangled colonial scheme of the Republicans is wholly outside the constitution and outside ideas of the founders of the republic, but the shrewd Republican leaders think the people will swallow any thing that tends to make the United States a worlds power--that looks towards wealth and manifest destiny. They may mistake the people in this respect, but they do not fear the issue.
 What they do fear is Babcockism from within. They fear the revolt within against the Dingley tariff and the trusts it has created. They fear the charge that these trusts are sell ing this or that product at low price abroad while asking high price within our Chinese tariff wall. Mir. Babcock is to them a worse thorn than MT. Randall ever was to the Democrats, MT. Randall wanted more

Books in Birminoham.

MT. Carnegie gave Atlanta s125,00( with which to build and equip pub lie library, the city promising in re turn to vote $5000 annually to the sup port of that library. An equally good offer to this city should be accepted difficult as it is to make income and outgo meet here.
 The point has been reached in the building of this town when a public library becomes public necessity. It is a part of public education. and not only do the people need free access to books, but it is no longer creditable in an American town to be without a public library This is the ninety ninth town in size in the country, and it is safe to say that the others in the list have each and all public libraries. There must be, in other words, one here.
 It need not necessarily come by the Carnegie route, as those in Atlanta, Montgomery and Chattanooga have come. There is room in the City Hall, not yet opened, for 25,0OO vol umes, and this would answer all req sonable purposes in the next ten years. This, too, would shut out meats and vegetables, neither of which is desirable in the new building.
 But if Mir Carnegie will duplicate his Atlanta offer, we should strain our finances in order to accept it, be- cause thereby public education would be extended and the good name of the town preserved. The Board of Alder men can certainly see a way in prosperous town to the voting of five thousand dollars each year to the gen. eral education of all.

has existed several years. Tt has been made plain says the Tribune. ''at such conferences that the South was too poor to provide for It's peo- pie, both white and black, as good schools as were needed" So far as can be foreseen the new effort looks towards the education of both races in the South, but the attention of the Southern Educational Conference has heretofore been largely given to tho Hampton Institute and tho Tuskegee Institute. MT. Baldwin has long been an active friend of President Booker Washington.
 Until the central committee is ap- pointed and its plans are outlined no one can say what the scope of the work will be, but the presumption is that the new. millions of the Roclse- fellers and their associates will be given to promote education among the blacks, aiding perhaps established schools, and establishing new ones in States that have no Tuskegee or Hampton Institute, Something larger than the Slater or Peabody fund is to be attempted, and the money of the Rockefellers and the enthusiasm of MT. Baldwin for the cause of educa- tion in the South are to do the work, whatever it may be- The field is am- pie whether one race or both be in- cluded. The schools of the South arc not what they should be, but they will be much better in this State when the power of local taxation is granted, which will be done in the near future.
