prominent and highly respected
citizens, death occurring at 1:50

About three weeks ago Mr.. Nc.
Herman was taken i'll with what at
the time was thought to be la grippe.
He had not been feeling well for q
number OF days previous, but paid
but little attention to the matter.
Upon taking to his bed, his
condition was not deemed serious,
and it was confidently expected that
he would be out in few days. He
was able to sit up a portion OF the
time, and only last Sunday he re-
mained on the veranda short time,
enjoying the mild air and beautiful
sunshine. That night, however, his
condition took sudden change for
the worse, which continued until
the end, Notwithstanding all that
medical skill could do, and at the
hour stated passed away. The an
nouncement OF his death was great
shock to the community, and the
people of Baraga county, by whom
he was so highly respected, are
grieved beyond expression.
The bereaved family has lost a low
ing son and brother, the hope and
leader OF the home, and the COM
munity noble citizen, business
man and true friend, whose place
in many ways, can never be filed.

partment of the Michigan Univer-
sity at Ann Arbor, be shortly there
after opened an Office In this vii.
lage. At the time OF his death he
was prosecuting attorney of Baraga
county, which Office he had held, all
told, twelve years. Mr.. McKernan
was also attorney for L'Ause town
ship, L'Anse village, and at. various
times had been attorney for every
township in the county. He was al.

Thirty-Seventh National Conven-
tiOn.

The thirty-seventh national en-
campment, Grand Army OF the Re-
public, which is to be held in San
Francisco during the week CON-
mencing Aug. II, 1903, is destined
to become one OF the most notable
gatherings--in point OF numbers,
magnifcence and splendor-in the
history OF California, as well as in
annals Of the fraternity. The people
OF San Francisco, and OF all Cali
fornia, fully appreciatiug the fact
that these veterans may never
again gather in an encampment on
the shores OF the Pacific, will exert
every effort to make this encamp-
ment the most memorable one in
the history Of the G.. A. r. No
other organization holds the affec-
tion of the people as does the one
composed OF the veterans. the de-
tenders OF the Union, OF liberty and
right. The veterans residing in
California and Nevada arranged the
preliminaries for the encampment,
but all the people OF California and
Of the Pacific coast are enthusiastic
On that topic now, and working
hand in hand with the committees
20 make this encampment eclipse all
ormer fraternal gatherings.

The readers Of this paper will be plea
sed to learn that there is ut least one
dreaded disease that science has been
able to cure in all its stages and that is
Catarth. Halls Catarrh Cure is the on
ly positive cure now known to the medi-
cal fraternity. Catarrh being cOnsti-
tutional disase, requires constitution
al treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure is
taken internally, acting directly upon
the blood and mucous surfaces Of the
system, thereby destroying the fOunda-
tion Of the disease. and giving the pa
tient strength by building up the con-
stitutiOn and assisting nature in doing
it's work. The projectors have so much
faith in its curative powers, that they

We are having political meet
ings every night these days, and
the good people Of the country
wards whom the politicians love so
dearly are being treated to cool
sbeer at these meetings. Does
is not look strange that these poll
ticians have any sort of considera-
ton for the people only when they
need their votes. They don't
seem to care so much about them,
they don't seem to love them so
dearly when they are about max
ing the assessment rolls, with an
increased assessment and an in
crease of taxes, the result of which
goes out to compensate the faith

mediately taken into custody.
Dozier disclaimed all knowledge
of the letter and had no diffiulty.
in establishing his innocence.
At the time of Dozier's arrest
Andrew Miller, one of the Negroes
partners, was taken into custody.
Miller claimed to know nothing
whatever about the letters and for
a while the authorities of Bossier
were in a quandry. The character
of the letters, was 80 vile as to
preclude the possibility of inaction
on the part of those who received
them. They not only threatened
their recipients with death but
placed terrible stigma on the
names of a number of estimable
ladies of Bossier parish.
When Monte Miller discovered
that her father was in the hands
of crowd of infuriated men and
was on the verge of being lynched,
she broke down and confessed to
the authorship of the letters.
The girl, who is young mula-
trees, stated that she hated Dozier
and she conceived the idea of writ
ing letters to the white men with
Dozier's name attached in order to
have him lynched. When she dis
covered, however, that there was a
possibility of her father being
lynched, too, she decided to con-
fess her crime.
When the negress confessed it
was decided to give her formal
trial before a committee composed
of white and black residents of
Bossier. This was done tonight
and the committee, which was
equally divided between the ne
groes and whites, concluded to
condemn her to public whipping.
A special committee of three was
appointed for this purpose and the
woman was publicly dashed in the
presence of hundreds of persons
near VAUDEVILLE tonight. She was
SO badly beaten that she was al
most unconscious. The woman
will not be permitted to remain in
the parish.

Solemnity of Sleep.

There is one thing about life
in the. Philippines that lazy man
finds agreeable if he is not in the
army" said a retired soldier, land
that is the way in which he is al
lowed to sleep at all times and in
all places undisturbed. The Tired
Tins of the Great race of tramps
would find the islands a paradise
in this respect.
'One of the rudest acts in the
estimation of the native is to step
over sleeping person, or in any
way interfere with his repose.
Sleeping, with them, is very i'm
portant matter, and is invested
with solemnity, almost. They are
strongly averse to waking sleep
er, as they hold the idea that du-
ring sleep the soul is absent from
the body. and if they suddenly
call you from sleep the soul May
not have time to return to its tene-
ment, the body. There are blood
curding legends of men who have
revenged themselves upon their
enemies by thus exiling their souls
IF you would call upon a ma
tive and you are told that he is
asleep, you may as we'll 60 about
your other business, for you will
not get to him until, at his own
good time, he awakens.
"When you go to sleep, in order
to get a servant to arouse you at a
given time you must give him the
strictest orders to that effect be-
fore yen turn in. Then, if he
obeys you at all, he will stand by
your side and whisper. Senior!
Senior? repeating the word a little
louder each time until you are half
awake, when he will go back to the
low note. and again gradually
raise his voice until you are fully
conscious. It is an ideal way in
which to be called from sleep, if
you are in no hurry, and a man
should never be in a hurry in the
Philippines; the climate is moi
adapted to activity States.
