The people are of course to be con-
suited about the use of their money
and if they do that for the state which
they would not do in their personal
business affairs-namely, decide that
II should continue the accumulation
of debt when the money is to be had
for paying it off, they have the perfect
right 10 do so, but that does not neces-
sarily argue for a fusion victory this
fall on the state and legislative tick
ct. The republicans will just as
promptly and effectually revise the
new revenue law as the fusionists, II
1t is shown TO be undesirable in any
particular. In the matter of eXtrava'
gance it is shown that the fusionists
assisted materially in burdening the
state with debt, and they will certainly
not be elected on their record as an
argument for economy. Robbed of
these two issues the fusionists have
scant grounds for asking the support
of the voters.

At first denying that he declared Mr.

MEETS WITH APPROVAL
Decision of Judge Streeter to
Run Again Pleases Citizens.

] The decision OF Hon. *. It. Streeter,
OF Houghton, to be candidate for
reelection next spring as Judge OF
the Twelfth Judicial district, COM
prising Houghton, Keweenaw and
Baraga counties, meets with general
approval, not only among the men,
bers OF the bar, but among the citi-
zens at large. Mr.. Streeter has held
the office with the dignity it demands
and with foundation of thorough
legal knowledge has exhibited sound
judgment in Interpretation of the
law. He has won the respect of
every member of the bar in the
three counties of his circuit through
unbiased opinions and his conduct of
cases.
The convention for the purpose OF
nominating a circuit judge is usually
held in February. There is little
doubt Judge Streeter will be the
nominee, and it is predicted his nom
ination will be unanimous. There is
not even whisper Of opposition, and
likely will not be- Before assuming
the bench six years ago, Judge
Streeter was prosecuting attorney
of Houghton county, and in that
Office made an enviable record and
won local prominence. When the
late Jay A. Hubbell, whom he sue
ceeded, was physically unable to
accept reelection, Mr.. Streeter was
duefor promotion to a higher Office
in the gift Of the people. The posi-
tion has never been more creditably
filed, and the re election of the
present incumbent is assured.

mother back to her senses"
The lady handed the boy piece o
bread and turned to help Beth. Shs
sprinkled some water into Mrs
Hamilton's face, which restored
her. Mrs. Hamilton told Beth she
wanted to hear the worst, so Beth
read on. When she came to where
it read: "Dr. Hamilton had fallen
by his son IS side, she again tainted
and it took longer time to restore
her; but finally she opened her eyes
and asked Beth to bring her to her
bedroom, where she could rest. With
the lady's help she brought her
mother to her bedroom.
After little while, Mrs. Hamilton
asked the Slady what her name was,
which she said was Mrs. Anderson,
and.her husband had been in the war
five years. and she could not support
herself and son. Mrs. Hamilton
said that they could remain with
them as long as they had any food
left.
Beth went to get q scanty meal
ready, while the lady sat down to
comfort Mrs. Hamilton by telling her
to feel glad, when her husband and
son had saved their country.
When dusk began to fall, knock
was heard on the door, and two men
entered, one old and one young.
Who were they? They were Mr.,
Hamilton and Stephen. What a

Mr.. Hamilton covered his wife s
face with kisses, while Stephen
fondled Beth.
Mrs. Anderson was introduced to
MIR. Hamilton, and they all sat down
to hear the adventures Mr.. Hamilton
and Stephen had met with, y which
brought tears into everybody's eyes.
The little boy walked up to Mr..
Hamilton and said, 1.-The beautiful

ton took the little boy up in his arms
and said, "You shall always stay
with US and be my wife's pride"
They all confessed that this was
the best Christmas they ever had,
and hoped to have as happy here
after. They also promised to deco
rate a Christmas tree for little
James.

IMPORTANT Land deal
Usage Mining Company Has Sold
$4,000 Acres In Marquette
and Baraga Counties.

L ~s~S s~@Oo'
important land deals concluded in
this region for some months is now
being closed up. BY its terms,
the Usage Mining Company will
transfer to H. H. Everard, president
OF the Munising Paper Co., Ltd,
which has just put its new mill in
operation at Munising, some Ia, 600
facres of timber land in Marquette
and Baraga counties. These lands
are wooded with hemlock, hard woods
and some pine, but have been rather
thoroughly numbered over for the
pine. They extend, roughly, from
the Huron Mountain country 10 TO a
point east OF L 'Anse, and are pretty
well scattered.
The pine on the Usage company s
lands have been numbered by various
operators. The former Dead River
Mill Company cut no small part OF
it, and the Reichels aud other job
bers operated on the tracts from
time to time. OF late years the
lands have been lying untouched.
They have been the object OF several
attempted deals, but the owners and
the prospective purchasers never
succeeded in coming to terms. The
deal between the Usage company
and H. H. Everard is understood to
have been closed up directly between
the principals. President Gillette
and Secretary Mccall, Of the Usage
company, reside in Detroit. The
consideration is said to have been
"a an acre, which would make the
total sum involved in the neighbor-
hood of $4,000.
The land to be transferred to Mr..
Everard, says the Marquette Mining
Journal, have a considerable timber
value, but like all other similar
tracts in this region they run un-
even. Some parts of the acreage
are almost valueless, but in other
instances there are fine growths OF
hardwoods, and there is much hem
lock. Some pine also remains, as
noted.
Mr.. Everard's official connection
with the Munising Paper Company
naturally suggests the idea that the
lands have been acquired with the
plan Of providing an additional
store of timber for the needs of the
Munising mill. They are well
wooded with timber suitable for
pulp wood. The Munising Paper
Company has, of course, great sup
ply of pulp wood timber much nearer
at hand, but the policy of the COM
pany is to maintain big holdings, so
as to insure indefinite operation OF
the plant.
The purchase Of these lands by
Mr.. Everard will also be taken as
an additional reason for the exten-
sion OF the Cleveland Cliffs railroad to
the north. western part Of Marquette
county. Mr.. Mather and Mr.. Ever
ard are associated in the paper in
dustry at Munising, and it may be
taken for granted that no lands now
so remote would have been pur-
chased by the former unless the
company's plans for an extension
