John skurr Dead.

Another chapter was added, Tues
day night, to the unfortunate fire that
destroyed The Diamond Drill building
and the lodge rooms two weeks ago,
when John Skurr passed from this
life, his death being occasioned by
the severe burning and subsequent
cold contracted at the fire. In addi-
tion TO the burns that he suffered
from, it seems that he contracted a
very hard cold from being immersed
i'm the snow and his journey TO the
hospital i'm half clad condition His
burns were not serious and he seemed
to recover from them.so that he was
able to leave the hospital and go TO
his htme. The cold, however, de-
veloped into pneumonia which proved
too severe for his already afflicted
lungs to stand and death came as a re-
suit.
His death is a sad sequel TO a sad
affair and is a general cause for regret
and sorrow.
The deceased was one OF the very
best Of the Finnish people Of this city.
He was splendid citizen, progressive
and thoroughly American. He was a
great worker in the different societies
designed to benefit his people. He
was of exemplary character and his
word went a great way with his asso-
ciates. He was married about two
years ago and leaves q wife and one
child TO mourn his sad end. He was a
member of the Maccabees under
whose auspices his remains will be
laid at rest In the Crystal Falls
cemetery tomorrow.

TO RE-ORCANIzE
FIRE DEPARTMENT
COUNCIL APPOINTS COMMITTEE TO
INVESTIGATE DEPARTMENT.
FIXED ARC LIGHT RENTAL
Users Of the Big Lights Now Know
What to Pay Official Account Of
Proceedings.

The City council held a meeting last
Monday night at which the main
business was the allowing OF bills.
There was grist of them before the
board, some OF which came out Al
hard wheat while a few went into the
chaff pile.
Outside OF the claim-allowing about
the only thing done was the appoint
ing OF a committee to look into the
reorganization OF the fire department.
There had been much quite muttering
among some Of the members of the
council over fire department affairs
and the conllagration OF two weeks
ago brought the thing to a head.
The Official proceedings are as fol-
lows:
Crystal Falls, Mich, Feb. lst, 1904
y regular meeting OF the city council
was called TO order by Mayor Wehst
at 8 o'clock p. m. on the above date.

Matt Hurja Property Sold.

The real estate Of Matt TIurja was
sold by Receiver Matt Burns at the
court house last Monday forenoon.
The bidding was not as brisk as ON a
former occasion when the personal
effects of Matt Huria were sold but
there was some bidding, notwithstand-
ing. The first piece of property put
I'M wasthe store building This was
subIecttoa mortgage Of 5000 and was
bid in by Jas Gatfney for few dollars
above the amount The next piece
offered was che warehouse and on
this the bidding was quite brisk the
finally going 60 Mr.. Gaifney
for s3Ol. The house IN which Naino
Osterberg lives and the Chas. Crooks
farm were offered IN turn and we're bid
In by Pete Fowler for the mortRagee,

This ends the liquidation OF the
Huria estate and a dividend will prob
ably be declared In the near future

do we want spendthrift. Just a
careful. broad-minded business man.
With such man IL would be but a
short time until Crystal Falls would
be free Of debt. We are in good shape;
have good electric light and water
system and it's making money for us.
Our obligations are comparatively
light. The thing To do is 10 place the
city i'm better financial position and
then we will be In 1t with the best Of
them"
For clerk no name but that Of
Robert Munns has been suggested.
Mr. Munns' good work i'm the Office
seems TO be universally acknowledged.
Oscar Widstrand will be candidate
to succeed himself as treasurer. He
has held the Office but one term and
has done the work well.
Mayor Wehse stated to a Diamond
Drill reporter that he is anxious for
but one thing and that is that no
settlement be made with the contrac-
tors who put I'm the power plant. He
says that the reason nothing is heard
of the claims Mr.. Weeks is supposed to
have against the city now is that the
opinion has gone out that as soon as
Mr.. Wehse is out of ofiice settlement
can be had that will be much more
favorable to Mr.. Weeks than any that
Mr.. Wehse will agree TO. For that
reason he is interested in having some
one chosen mayor who will not allow
the city TO get the worst Of IL.
II is only eight weeks until election
and there certainly ought TO be some
thing doing soon.

WHO WILL Be
Y THE CANDIDATE?
|{ORs OFFICE NOT VERY AN
xIOUSLY SOUGHT AFTER
SOME NAMES NJ BEING MENTIONED
Coming City EIectle.7 Promises to be a
Hard Fought One Although
Nothing Is Heard Yet.

As a general thing the advent of a
new year brings with II the opening
Of the local political campaign but the
cold weather or some other old thing
seems TO have operated against politics
in this city so far this year. There is
absolutely no .'election talk" Oc-
casionally some one remarks that it's
strange no candidates have bobbed up
for mayor" 1t being understood that
Mr.. Wehse will not again be candi-
date, and then there is an exchange OF
what has been told in confidence by
this one or that one about sO-and-So or
so-and-so going 70 be candidate but
that is as far as IL goes.
A Diamond Drill reporter made the
rounds this week and rubbered on
every occasion and at every point
where he thought perhaps some news
might fall relative TO the candidates
for mayor. In one place we were told
that X. B. Webb will surely be a can
didate but when pressed for the source
OF our informant's information he
could give none, Mr.. Webb's name
having been used without his permis-
sion. AT other points we heard other
names mentioned under similar cir
cnmstances. Arvid Bjork, r. T. Hol-
low. Jas. r.. Corcoran aud others were
suggested but In no case did we find
that any person had taken
up the aspiring for the nomination
personally. One business man with
whom we conyersed put forth the best
suggestion that we have heard and we
reproduce ii here that our readers
may think over it. He said
f'It's high time that the people OF
ystri Falls pulled themselves to-
gether and picked out some one for
mayor of this city who is inancier
and business man; one who is not
afraid 10 say mo- and who has
handled business Of like proportion to
the city. A man above petty grating;
one who will apply TO the city's bust.

The board OF public works held a
meeting on Monday afternoon at
which the routine business which had
accumulated during the month was
attended to. The only new matter
that was taken up was the fixing of a
price on arc lights. for commercial
purposes. There was considerable
contention as to what the figure
should be. 1t was finally decided
that, where one light is used, the ser
vice shall cost the consumer (fora 1900
c. p. lamp $3.50 per month, where two
are used 1925 per lamp per month and
where three or more are used $500.

Killed at Bristol.

Massino Tambarina, an Italian, was
killed in the Bristol mine last Tuesday
night by chunk OF ore falling onto
him. The miners had drilled round
of holes and blasted before supper in a
ledge OF ore which they were taking
down. When they came down after
supper they went 10 work TO trim
down the loose pieces. They used the
broken ore for staging and were so
close TO their back that they could
just stand erect. 1t seems that Mas
sino didn't understand just how to 20
at the cleaning down OF loose pieces
and, instead OF standing back in the
shelter at the end OF his ground, he
stepped out under the loose ore and
barred down big chunk onto him
self.
He was a single man and had been
in this country about a year.

Providence

When the republicans point
with pride to the fact that pros
perity followed the resumption
of power by that party the demo
Gratis resentfully deny that the
republican party or it's policies
are in any wise responsible for
the happy condition of affairs
since 1896. Providence they
say, aud not the protective tariff
must be credited with the result.
In the same way they deny that
the republicans had anything to
do with the curing Of the money
troubles. Providence is spoken
of as the remedial agent in this
case also. It does not occur to
the envious democrats that their
persistent attempt to make it
appear that Providence always
smiles on the country when the
republican party is in power
may have the effect Of inducing
voters to stick by an organization
thus signally favored. If they
could get it through their heads
that people look for results and
do not bother much about the
manner of their achievem emit
they would be more cautious
about making the admission that
when the republicans are on top
things are accomplished.-San
Francisco nChrOnicle."

The alarming discoveries made
each week by the Rabbit Bent.
ley organ Of compromises and
deals would lead one to think
that the republican voters OF
the county are to have nothing
to say rs to who their candidates
are to be. The young man can
get rid Of all his Nightmares by
turning in and honestly cham
pioning the primary system, un-
der which each republican will
have one vote and neither Mr..
Bentley nor Mr. Rabbit, nor Mr..
B0nck nor Mr.. Smull, nor anv
other man will be able 70 die
tate who the nominees are to be.
His reluctance to do this clearly
indicates that he is either afraid
of the people or he believes that
his twin bosses have q Job put
np that they will be unable to
work with 4 primary vote. The
republcaps Of Grant county
heye never permitted hossism

Bishop Potter's recent efforts
to uplift the saloon have called
down upon him the severe criti-
cism OF the great body of tenn
perance people and church soci-
cites Of all denominations. The
conditions in all large cities
make the temperance question
= difficult one to handle, but we
are afraid the bishops remedy
will not prove any more effective
than the other fads that have
been tried before. If the drink
habit is q vice it will be hard to
clothe it in apparel that will
change it into q virtue.
