MANAGEMENT.

The annual meeting Of the county
board Of supervisors was called 90 order

honse by Chairman Richards lass
Monday. rae supervisors met in their
own quarters FOR the first tins al.
thought the room had been made pur-
posely for them when the conrt house
was erected The board has been meet
ing in the clerk Office for long time
past and at the last meeting the
members thought that it was time for
them TO 20 into their own quarters
The room in question is on the south
east corner of the court house, directly
over the treasurers Office. It is
beautifully located aud when the
committee gets all OF the repairs
which they have in contemplation,
done it will be beauty indeed
The roll all showed all present,
Supervisor Broad coming in little
after the others. The regular
order was taken up and nothing OF
moment developed until the order of
communications was read. A letter
from the administrator of the estate OF
VIM. Bange was read in
which he asked for the settlement Of
the account that the county owed the
deceased The request was accepted
The next order, reports of commit
tees, was taken up and the members Of
the building committee asked leave TO
report and be discharged. The report
was the same as that published in these
column some time ago
Under the report of county officers
there was considerable of stir raised
over that of the poor commissioners.
The board reported that IA parpers
had been cared for and 50. 900 had been
spent. The merchandise costs of
maintaining each pauper for the year
amounted to $44 and the administrative
charges, salary of commissioners. poor
house keeper etc. amounted to $l04
per pauper. The commissioners ey-
planned away a great many OF the
chagers but the board had club out
for them and refused TO allow them
the extra 81, 600 asked for.
The matter came up afterwards
when a motion to have committee
visit the poor farm was made It was
finally decided that the entire board
should visit the farm which they did
late in the afternoon, They found
some paupers out there that they claim
ed elonged to Dickinson county and
other matters that came to the atten-
tion of the visitors induced them to
call for the appointing of n special
committee to examine the records OF
the poor farm superintendent This
was done and the committee brought

A decision that is OF great deal of
Importance TO property owners,
especially those who deal in tax titles
or have allowed their property TO go
delinquent was made this week by one
OF the lower peninsula judges.
It appears that the land Of one Hyde
was returned delinquent for taxes,
offered for sale and bid in by the state.
Subsequently Hyde entered upon the
land and cut timber therefrom. The
state trespass agent seized the timber
and sold 10 at private sale to one Gil
pin. Hyde replevined the timber, and
the court held that the seizure was
valid and the sale legal
The Importance OF this decision lies
in the fact that the legality Of the
proceedings in this class Of cases hav-
ing been sustained. the state will be
enabled TO get much better prices TOR
the timber seized Heretofore, owing
to the question as 10 the legality OF
the seizure, etc. the purchasers took
the position that there was cloud on

they were taking not little risk in

QUINCY ADAMS SAWYER

One of the biggest hits in Quincy
Adams Sawyer, the new rural drama
which will come here next Tuesday
with reputation as the best rural
drama ever presented at the Academy
of music in New York City, is made
by the youngest member of the COM
pany, Miss Gertrude Augarde. She
has given to the stage an entirely new
type Of country serving maid. One
New York paper said Of her "As to

bootsed. Atkinson and Mansfield were
satisfied as the taxes in those town
ships were very favorable last year
and will not be effected TO any extent
this year. But Bates township gets
it the worst and feels it harder than
any. The lands out there are all either
agricultural or timber lands. There
are no mines or mills TO stand the
brunt of the tax and the farmers who
live in the township have to go down
into their pockets to put up the extra
cash.
Crystal Falls and Stambaugh get OF
with very reasonable valuations. 1t is
an acknowledged tact that Crystal
Falls is assessed higher than other
assessing district in the county aud it
is no more than right that they should
get slice of the good handed out to
il. The Crystal Falls supervisors were
a unit in getting at the matter and
they deserve the appreciation OF all
taxpayers here for their good work.
The assessed and equalized values
of the country are AS given in the
table below.

KICKING ON NTRAINSERVICE

The horizon is blue up in the vicinity
Of Bessemer and Ironwood hecansa Of
the taking of OF the Hurley passenger
between Iron River and Materameet
IL seems that the bulk Of the mail for
the Gogebic range is carried on this
train because the regular Ashland
train leaves Chicago TOO early TO CATCH
tho mail. When the passenger was
run through the mail reached Ironwood
at $3.50 and business men had op-
portunity TO get their mail and answer
any demanding immediate attention
in time for the evening mail south.
According TO the new schedule the ac-
commodation train doesn't reach IRON
wood until g 800 p. m. and then the
mail is not delivered until too late for
immediate answer. But, as the ac-
commodation has not yet reached Iron
wood on time, it being generally from
two 10 four hours late. lronwood
business men don get their mail until
the following morning. The same is
true of Bessemer and Hurley IN
dignation meetings have been held in
the Gogebic towns and thousands of
names signed to petitions that have
been forwarded to head quarters
The Inconvenience to Crystal Falls
is not very great The only time we
feel it is when any OF our citizens
desire TO visit the Gogebic. Captain
Richards and ]. A. knight made the
trip last week. They state that the
ride is very tedious one and there is
no chance to get a meal on the way.
Twenty -four passengers were aboard
the day they made the trip and there
were many swear words heard. They
arrived at Bessemer at $3.50 and that
was the earliest that any train had
been in since the new schedule went
into effect

KILLED At THE BRISTOL

John Bacbiana, laborer, was in
stantly killed by a fall OF ground in
the Bristol mine last Tuesday night
The deceased and several others, in
Guiding the shift boss. were in one of
the Slopes running dirt into the chute.
They were working on a bench of
ground up in the stope. Bacbiana and
his partner were at work about ten
feet from the breast of the spote and
the others were lower down. The shift
boss heard little noise and, looking
up, noticed one man gone. He asked
the partner where the man was and
the fellow was 50 excited that he
could do no more than point down
into the chute. The workmen went
below and ran the dirt out Of the
chute but found no man. They then
went up into the stope again and, in
cropping about, found the man dead
and covered with dirt.
It seems that about two tram cal
loads OF dirt fell from the side Of the
stcpe and knocked the fellow down.
He was badly mutilated. He was q

SELECTED A
SUP'T
City Council at its Last Meet
inE Agreed on Olof Peter
son, Of Chicago. for the
Electric Light and Water
SuperintendcncY.

There was meeting Of the city
council last Monday night that brought
results Olof Peters n. an electrical
engineer, WAS by d practically un-
animuui ballot. chosen 10 take charge
OF the city light and water plant, at
salary of 800 per month This much
mooted question, is therefore settled.
The former attempts TO select man
have been sufficiently aired in these
columns 10 keep our readers well in
formed upon the councils position.
Since the last meeting. at which an
abortive attempt was made TO select
man, a great many of the citizens
had gone to the aldermen and mayor
and asked them to do something, in
forming them that the people were
getting disgusted at their actions
These words seemed to have had the
desired effect
When the council met, twenty eight
applications were before them from
men who sought the position. The
application came as the result of a
short ad inserted in one Of the trade
Tapers by the mayor. Out of the
twenty eight the aldermen selected
eight TO consider, including that OF
j.. F. kirkpatrick. The first ballot
stood Peterson B. Fitzpatrick and
there it stood through dozen or more
ballots. When IL was seen that Mr..
Fitzpatrick could by no means be ap-
pointed the good sense Of his hackers
became apparent for they decided to
unite-on man and after some con.
ferences the unanimous ballot of the
council was cast to Mr.. Peterson.
