.SHAMOKLN ATTORNEY
found HIS COAT

Through his own clever detective
work, Attorney John |. Welsh, of Sha-
mokin, from whom was stol a S25
oyercoat in the Sur bury Court House
last week, caught the thief Tuesday.
The coat was taken from the proth
onotary's office on Tuesday last, and
on the following day Attorney Welsh
overheard Poishman tell his COM
panion what a fine new coat he had.
The accompanying wink made the at
torney suspicious and he shadOwed the
man until he found out who he was.
! The man who was proud OF his over
! coat was traced to Mt. Carmel aud
/ found to be Frank Malanofski, a sa-
loon keeper of that place. The follow
ing day he appeared at court without
the coat, but on Sunday he was seen
promenading the streets with the gar
ment. A search warrant Tuesday
found the coat. Mslanofski had ripped
out the makers mark on the collar,
but overlooked one in the pocket, and
the coat was easily identified.
When arrested Malanofksl claimed
he himself had lost coat, and hac
taken this one as the only one lett.
He said he tried to find the owner, but
his story was not believed, inasmuct
as he had taken bunch Of keys,
knife and a pair of gloves from th'
coat, and ripped of the makers name
When arrested he claimed he didn'
have the keys and did not produce
them until the officer threatened t
clap him into Jail He yet has tn
knife and gloves. Attorney Welsh CAV
him chance to escape suit by payin
the costs Of the warrant, but he refu'
ed and was held in bail for court.

TO THE SCHOOL CHILDREN

You have had good rest. A pleas
ant vacation, you have been boating.
fishing, swimming or camping. Some
Of you have been away from Grand
Rapids for your vacation, Tut now you
are in the first week OF another school
year. This means work. Make it a
habit to be cheerful-the girl or boy
that is always whining and ready to
cry or get angry will have poor
record when the school of life is over.
Work. Work till you get tired-you
will sleep better. If idleness ever
becomes habit you cannot get rid of,
you might as we'll get off the earth.
That doesn't mean no play, for play
is part Of the work of life. But it
means that habit of sitting around
and doing nothing will ruin you. Be
truthful-not only in the words you
say, but in the way you say them.
There are lots more ways of telling
lies than by mere words. and your
conscience will tell you what that
means. No one has much use for a
girl or boy that lies.
Don't be slow. Learn to do things
quickly, and it will soon be habit
but remember that you should take
time to do them right.
Don't be smart" There is nothing
that will make people dislike you
quicker. Don't be loud-that is, un-
less there is good reason. The boy
that couldn't whoop it up when his
ball team is winning isn't worth
much. But there are times and
places for lung exercise.
There are lots more "don' ts'' and
dos" but there is one thing that
will help you always to get along well,
and grow to be manly men and
womanly women. Do you want to
hear it?
Remember your mother.
Live SO that she will be proud OF
you and don't be backward in asking
her advice.

PLEASE NOTE
THE DIFFERENCE

With new industries coming in and
more in the course of perfection, 1t
ought to be apparent to anyone that
Merrill is going to be the hest and
brightest city in the northern part Of
Wisconsin. But one thing is needed
and that is the doing away with the
sectional feeling in this city. There
is no use of denying it, it is here, and
it is hell. 1t is simply hell to live in
Merrill at the present time with the
sectional feeling as it is. When buSi-
ness men are boycotted simply because
they live in this or that portion of
town and when social lines are drawn
on the banks of the Prairie river
things are wrong. There is no need
for this feeling to exiSt.-Merrill
News.
The people of Grand Rapids have
much to be thankful for. We have
all Che necessary conditions for divid-
ing our citizens and creating strife
and contention. But these things are
conspicuous only in their absence.
There is good feeling and united
purpose that bids fair to be permanent
In our city. The recent quarrel be-
tween the three papers at Antigo
ought to be lesson to any city of 0uI
size as it always reacts on the parties
engaged and is detriment to the
city and to all concerned. 1t is to be
regretted that any city as prosperous
and with as bright future as Merrill
has should be afflicted ia this way
Let us be thankful that it is far from
being hell to live here in Grand
Rapids.

THAT SATURDAY
NIGHT CIRCUS

There was a wave of suppressed
excitement all over the second ward
Saturday night that seem to center
at barn close to the Voss residence.
We soon learned that there was to be
circus and the parade would start
promptly at O'Clock. A long line of
children's express wagons, each con-
tanning a cage and decorated
with flags were in readiness, An
old cat and three kittens were to be
occupants of the first four cages.

picketed across the street was to act
as elephant and the faithful dog
Duke" was to be Gagged as a
rhinoceros. The parade was a little
late in getting Started, but had every
appearance Of being attractive, until
the last moment when they were
putting the animals in the cages.
The old cat decided not to act and the
kittens acted fierce and all escaped.

Frederick Voss' large tent. The

We worked them hard for comp,
but was fatty refused. But finally
borrowed the wherewith -Four Pins"
and paid the price. We regret to
state that both menagerie and circus
had been over advertised, Minnie the
wild girl was decidedly tame and the
clown seemed to be laboring under a
severe attack of melancholy. The
cages remained closed but the pictures
on the outside would indicate that
they had more animals than Noah
had in the ark. 1t was happy event
for the children eand a pleasure to
watch them. especially in their parade
and if the large shows could furnish
the same amount of pleasure in pro-
portion to the money invested Grand
Rapids would welcome a circus every
week in the year.

REMOVING INSTRUCTIONS

No city the size and age of GraDd
Rapids ever escaped distractions
(they may be real or imaginary, they
may be of natural origin and consist
of rocky hills or broad stream to
divide, seclude, or mar the city or it
may be whim, fad, or the general
cussedneSS of it's citizens.) It makes
but slight difference as to the nature
of the obstruction SO long as it can be
removed. A range of lofty hills may
be tunnelled and thus open a high
way to commerce, a rapid stream may
be changed from its natural course to
insure safety, irrigation, drainage, or
power. But it is not SO easy to change
the opinion, the sentiment, or the
prejudice of it's citizens. The former
can be accomplished by dynamite and
mechanical skill. The latter only by
time, death and education. There are
worse calamities to little city like
ours than funeral or fire.
1t is not the object of this short
article to make even a feeble effort to
remove the Instructions Or even point
out those that had a slight tendancy
to bar the progress of Grand Rapids.
1t is a case where time will do the
work of toll. No it will be left to a
more ready pen to some writer who
is painting for notoriety and looking
for an opportunity to crowd himself
between the Devil and the deep sea.
But in the decades to come when the
history of Grand Rapids shall be
written by a steady hand and an un-
biased pen it will read like fairy
tale. But however thorough these
writer's may be in gathering the facts,
statistics, and evidence however
relentless their pens and vivid their
pictures they will deal with the
subject through the principles in-
volved rather than with the men
concerned.
The inside history of our city from
le48 when the water power was first
used could be written and made pro-
titable to the writer and the city. The
six different water powers established
here would form an interesting
chapter crowded and crowned with
strife and contention. The consoli-
dating this immense power by the two
noble men who were never permitted
to see the fruits of their labors was
the beginning of better things for our
city. In their death Grand Rapids
suffered severe loss. Power is val
liable only as it has demand. For
the past six years at least this power
was in demand and in this time
81, 100000 vent to waste. The last
power within our reach has been
developed. We are passing through a
crisis but it is due to growth not to
decay. Our recent prosperity that
caused the problem will furnish the
solution. We can invent cures as
rapidly as we can catch diseases, can
meet crises as certainly as we can
blunder into them.

GOOD ATTENDANCE
AT OPENING

The new hotel on the west side. the
property of Mr.. and Mrs. Nate
Anderson was formally opened to the
public on Saturday evening September
with banquet, which was largely
attended. The guests were ushered
into the dining room by Mr.. Anderson
where four tables were tastefully
arranged, covers being laid for eight
persons at each table. The menu
was as follows:
Fried Chicken Jellied Tongue
Potato Balls Green Peas
Waldorf Salad Olives Pickles
Ice Cream Assorted Cakes
Assorted Fruits
Tea Coffee.
During the banquet, Lambert's
orchestra furnished choice music,
after which the guests, those who
desired to be shown through the
hotel, took advantage of this
opportunity. The building was we'll
lighted throughout by electricity and
was well furnished, and everything
entirely new and tastefully selected,
giving the hotel most cheerful and
inviting appearance. The outlook
from each sleeping room is pleasing
to the eye and the importance of
good ventilation is well provided for.
Fire escapes are placed at either
ends of the long halls and not one
detail for the comfort and salty of
the hotels patrons has been oyer
looked. They already have several
bOarderS and there is no reason why
this hotel should not always be
crowded to it's utmost capacity as it
will prove a delightful place to stop.
Those who attended the banquet
were highly pleased with the service
and the evenings entertainment.

1t is success to be SO useful that
ones circle of friends increases and

Franklin and Lincoln were excellent
examples of such individuals.
1t is success to be able to possess
health sufficient for consistent labor to
accomplish some object.
Success may be immediate or re-
mote. Immediate success is generally
transient and superficial, Few in
dividualS have sufficient patience to
wait for remote success.

Koenig, perhaps the most accurate

Fulton won decisive success, how

Eloquent men. however, rare gift,
win immediate success. The reformer
wins remote success.
Success demands the utilizing of
every possible moment of time. Dis
sipating hours, desultory frittering
away of time, day dreaming, are
incompatible with marked success.
Success means persistent regularity
of labor, undivided concentration of
efforts, an ability to adjust oneself to
changing environments and views OF
the age.
Success is not a haphazard affair.
The successful man, in general, are
those of long years of education and
who sustain industry and energy.
The college bred individual, from a
fitting preparation, is the more
liable to win marked success, as he
will be more liable to sustain well
directed efforts.
The rewards of success consists in
the happiness and pleasure of acQuir-
ing it in having accomplished some
thing, as well as the legacy to
posterity.

WHEAT n BREAD.

Flour that was ST a barrel two
years ago, and Si.85 n year ago, is
now selling at wholesale at $40.
Increasing population, a short crop
Of wheat and the Dlngley tariff have
put up the price of bread. Across the
Canadian line is an abundance of ex-
cellent wheat, but a prohibitory
duty of 20 cents a bushe1 meets it at
the border.
The big millers in Minneapolis
are bringing in, however, Canadian
wheat. If they sell the -four from it
to Americans then the duty must be
paid. If they sell it to foreigners then
no duty is demanded. They sell the
flour to foreigners, thus bringing
Canadian wheat into competition
with American wheat in other coun-
tries. The farmer who grows wheat
is not protected in foreign markets,
and the consumer in the towns of
this country is deprived of the bene-
fit of free Dread.
A tax of % cents a bushel on the
peoples food-on the bread of the
masses-is at most a sop TO the farm
ers to induce them to support the
robbery schemes Of the manufacture
ing trusts and monopolies. It will be
strange indeed if thousands and tens
of thousands of voters do not study
the twenty-fye-cent wheat duty and
vote in accordance with their inves-
LEGATIONS.

CABINET OFFICERS ON THE
STUMP.

If Mr.. Hay, and Mr.. Taft, and Mr..
Shaw and Mr.. Wilson of the I'resi-
dents official household-nJt TO
mention Mr.. Cortelyou or Mr..
Knox-would conine Themselves to
state-statcmcntS of facts no great OBJ
lection would be raised against cam
paigning on the part Of cabinet Of
fcers. 1t is an English custom, and
Mr.. Hay at least can be trusted to do
whatever is English. All of the
cabinet is or has been on the stump
except Mr.. Hitchcock and Mr.. Nor
ton, and they are no doubt willing
to do all the spellbinding they are
capable of. Mr.. Moody has joined
the other stumpers, and Mr.. Metcalf
occasionally makes a speech or two.
Some of the most serious misstate-
ments have c0me from these stump
ing secretaries. Mr.. Shaw, for
ample, set Henry Clay down as a
freetrader, because his compromise
tariff of 1882 looked to the placing of
the country on a free trade basis.
The truth is, the act of 1882 looked
to no such thing. It provided hat
duties should be scaled down to 20
per cent. at the end of ten years. 1t
did not provide for any lownrduties.
Twenty per cent. is more than any
other people would submit o Ding
leyism averages up to % per sent.
Secretary Hays speech in Car
negie hall has been we'll riddled. lie
not only attacked the So :th, but he
attacked in various ways the truth.
He misrepresented Judge Parker'S
position on the canal question. Judge
Parker favOrs the completion Of the
canal at the earliest possible moment.
He asserted, too, that Judge Parker
is in favor of an immediate aban-
donment of the Philippines, where
as he is not in favor of anything Of
the sort. He asks that justice be
done to the Filipinns in due time
and order. 1t is un necessary to fol-
low MI. Hay further. His speech is
full of error and miscellaneous, ex-
ceeding in that respect those of his
colleagues.
Barring misstatements no one
need object to campaigning on the
part of cabinet officers, bringing the
people as it does in touch with the
government. They should not,
however, be brought in touch with
statements that cannot be verified.
