Lumber Goes Up.

Prospective house builders who
have delayed because they believed
that prices OF all material should
take a drop with the coming of
spring are not much pleased over
the recent advance iu the price of
lumber from 81 to $2 q thousand
over the price Of last season. Lum-
bermen say that this advance is due
to the greater expense of lumber
ing, the wages of the men having
increased from $40 to $12 over last
year while the higher price OF pro-
visions has Increased the cost of
boarding the men. A further ad-
vance, 1t is said, will come shortly.

Mrs. n. Colo Expires Of Heart
Failure ut Hcr Home Thurs-
day Morning.
SAD BLOW TO THE FAMILY.
second Death I'm tho Household
In Less Than Three
Weeks Timo.

| Another Barsga county pioneer
has been summoned. This time IL
is Mrs. M. Cole, who expired sud-
denly Thursday morning at 9:30, at
her home. Heart failure is given
as the cause of death. The end
came without any warning what
ever. She had not been Ill in the
least, but was inclined to brood
considerable over the death Of her
son Peter, whose demise occurred
at Negaunee February Gath, and
it is presumed this weighed heavily
upon her mind and assisted to a
degree In bringing on the fatal
attack. J. H. Settle, OF Ishpeming,
q friend of the family, who has been
visiting them for the past week.
was hastily summoned from his
room, and assisted in trying to re-
vive her, with the expectation that
it might possibly be only a fainting
spell. A physician was Immediately
sent for. but upon his arrival
the pulse had almost ceased. Her
eyes had that vacant stare peculiar
to person in the throes of death.
Nothing could be done.
Mrs. M. Cole, whose maiden
name was Maria Kelley, would have
been 53 years of age next June
had she lived. When 16 years old
she married Mr.. Cole, at Lon
don, Ont. The family came to
L'Anse thirty years ago, aud have
made this town their place Of
residence since. Mr.. Cole will
have been dead fifteen years on the
18th Of the present month.
Mrs. Cole was the mother of
twelve children, of whom only three
are now living. They are: Mrs.
]. L. Sturtz, of Green Bay, Wis,
and the Misses Pearl and Opal. of
this village. The three daughters
above mentioned comprise the only
surviving members of a large family,
and it goes without saying that
they have the sympathy OF the
people of the community in sthe loss
of mother who was as devoted to
her children as a parent could pos
sibly be. Mrs. Sturtz, (formerly
Miss Nettie) has been on visit to
her old home here for the past three
weeks. Mr.. Sturtz was telegraphed
for and he arrived yesterday morn
ing. Other friends of the family
have arrived for the funeral.
The funeral takes place this
Saturday afternoon from the M. e.
church. The cortege leaves the
residence at 1:30, proceeding to the
church, where services are to be
conducted by Rev. ]. M. Shank.
The interment will be. in L'Anse
cemetery, where lie the remains Of
nine children and the father.

Trcasurers OF L'Anse and Spur
Townships Yet to Be
Heard From.

The reports OF the collections oil
taxes required to be made to the
county treasurer by the township
treasurers this month are coming
in somewhat slow. Up to last
evening three Of the Eve townships
in Baraga county had made their
settlement of taxes returned delin-
quent for the year.
Hermal Falk, treasurer OF Baraga
township, has the distinction ol
being the first to settle. He made
his return Friday of last week
and reported delinquent roll oil
H,804.71, out Of a total of $19, ,533. SO
on the tax roll.
Arvon township, Olof Been,
treasurer, returned $2,916.44 in
delinquent taxes. In this township
there was total of 81. 1863. q spread
on the rolls for collection.
Covington township returned
taxes delinquent to the amount ol
OF $4,547.65. out of an aggregate
sum on the tax roll of %, ,634. 80
Treasurer Marchand made his re.
turn Friday. The Michigan Land
& Iron Co. failed to pay in Coving-
ton, which accounts for the sur
prisingly large delinquent roll.
The townships yet to be heard
from are Spur and L'Anse. 1t is
believed there will be a large
delinquent list in L'Anse township,

LABOR AND THE MILITIA.

The recent convention of the State
Federation of Labor. held in East st.
Louis adopted a resolution to the ef-
feet that no union man should join
the state militia and that any belong
ing thereto should send in their reslg
nations. and a laborer writing to the
Chicago Chronicle very sensibly criti-
cises the union for the adoption OF
the resolution.
No doubt the labor delegates pres
ent at this convention We're an intel
igent body of men. but the wisdom
of the resolution seems open to ques-
ton. Some people are imbued with
the idea that the state militia is or
eanized solely to benefit capital to the
detriuent OF labor But SO far from
being an enemy OF labor the militia
is almost entirely composed OF men
who earn their bread by the sweat
Of their brow" Their motive in join
ing the organization is one of pure
patriotism, patriotism proved on
every battlefield of the republic from
Lexington to San Juan, patriotism
which impeled them in our recent war
with Spain to go to the fartherst part
of the world to uphold our flag and the
cause for which it stood.
Since it's inception the principal
duties of the state militia have always
been to protect the life and property
of the citizens and maintain law ana
order whenever and wherever neces-
sary. and labor has nothing to lose and
everything to gain by the maintenance
of law and order. Arrogance, Vlo-
lence, lawlessness, never yet won a
cause for the workingman and never
will. The cool. law abiding tactics
which so generally prevailed among
the striking miners of Pennsylvania
did much to gain them the sympathy
of the public and force the mine own
ers to arbitrate. If they had resorted
to general violence they would have
deprived themselves of the almost uni
versal support they were receiving and
in all probability would never have
brought their employers to terms.
The workingmen will do we'll to look
upon the militia not as a menace but
rather as an aid in putting down that
display of brute force which makes
enemies of labor where friends are
sorely needed They will do we'll to
bear in mind that the citizen soldier
is one of themselves, who will gladly
give to the cottage of the lowliest
worker the same protection which he
accords the mansion of the plutocrat.

SUNDAY LIQUOR SELLING.

1t is to be hoped for the sake OF law
and order and common decency that
Sheriff Goulu will be able to run
down and secure unimpeachable testl-
mony against those who are alleged
to have sold liquor in Pine Bluff Sun
day, and that he may be able to bring
every violator of the Sunday law to
Justice. Too long has the open viola.
ton of the Sabbath been permitted
in Pine Bluff In fact, the law has
been Knocked by an attempt on the
part of the city to legalize an illegal
act by indirectly collecting a license
from the saloons, gambling houses and
resorts of i'll repute by assessing them
weekly a nominal fine agreed upon
by the authorities and the violators of
the law. In a moral sense the city
has thus been party to this lawless-
ness.
The Graphic is not Puritanical in
its views, and it does not endorse
the Puritanical idea, but it desires
to see the law respected and upheld
by all, which has never been the case
in Pine Bluff. 1t is time for all efforts
on the part of the city to legaliZe in
fractions of the law to cease, and
Sheriff Gould and his deputies can
do much to put an end to It, In fact,
with the aid of Chief Culpepper and
his force, which the chief says the
sheriff shall unqualifiedly have, Sheriff
Gould can bring about respect for
law and order that will mean proper
regard for the Sabbath. An end can
be put to Sunday liquor selling and
other Sabbath violations, and gam
ding can be so restricted as to make
the city as practically free of it as it
is possible.
In his instructions to the grand jury
at the opening of the present term OF
court Judge Grace made it plain that
if he received the co operation of the
grand jury and officers Sabbath Vlo-
lations would cease, and the men who
conduct gambling houses would be
driven out of business. Judge Grace
should be given the necessary co
operation. He appears to have recelN-
ed it from the grand jury. and the
sheriff and his deputies seem to be
doing their part of the work Well
leave nothing undone to fortify the
cases Of the state as strongly as pos
sible so as to be able to convict every
guilty person when these cases come
to trial. and the Graphic believes Mr.
Jones will perform we'll mis- duty along
this line
For the man who engages in gam
bling there may be some excuse, ,wheth
