CLAUDE Walker Lost IA Car Load by
Fire Last week.
Last week, Claude Walker who has
been buying potatoes in some of the
towns north of heIe shipped car
load of the favorite stock TO the east
ern markets, shipping them by way of
Grand Trunk, through Canada.
When nearing st. Thomas, Ont,
the car in some way caught fire and
was soon a mass of flames. All that
the company could do was to leave the
car to its own obstruction and good
supply of roast potatoes left on the
track for those who were in search of
the fine articles grown on Michigan
soil.
Mr.. Walker informs us that be had
6S7 bushels of potatoes in the car that
cost him an average of 30 cents per
bushel and the loss will be over 5000.

ON EXHIBITION HERE
Designs for the WiDdowsin the New

Peck's Shoe StOrr.

The beautiful and artistic windows

store and those who have seen them
cannot help but remark that they are
at once thing of beauty and a JOY
forever.
The Epworth League of the church
has already assumed one of the win
dows and it is indeed very handsome

Pierce & Henderson have taken upon
themselves the responsibility for fur
nishing the east window in the church
at cost of $3.50 and have already
raised nearly enough for the payment
of tho same. 1t was indeed happy
thought of the firm TO ask the trav-
cling men who visit tn ir store to
place in the church a memorial win.
dow in the interest of the Travelling
Mems Association, and the knights
of the grip have responded nobly in
the matter.
If there was ever fine church edi-
flee constructe ted in any city in Michi-
gan in which all of the people of the
city as we'll as the comers and goers
were invited TO assist in its construc-
tion we have failed 10 hear of it.
The members of the church with one
accord are losing no chance in oneway
or another to increase the revenue for
the completion of the elegant new
edifce and the work is pushing along
a city many times the size of Belding.

HANDSOME WINDOWS
Bedding Business Men Have
Them.
Christmas week shows Some Beauti-
ful Designes and Tasty Arrange
ments Worthy of Notice.

AS usual proceeding the holidays,
our merchants are putting forth
a special effort TO make their large
and spacious show windows an object
of interest 10 the crowds who are pass
ing along the streets, and after a
careful survey of the varions windows
we have thought it best TO say few
words relative to the pretty displays
OF course at this time of the year
old Santa Clause is most attractive
creature. and wherever his genial
face is seen the eye of the young and
the old alike pause and gaze upon 1t.
In the City Shoe Store, Earl Wilson
and Verne Parslow have evolved a
b ppy idea to illustrate their line of
goods and have introduced the gray
haired patron, Santa with his pack of
good things standing beside the old
fashioned fire place looking at the
we'll filed stockings which hang sus-
pended from the mantle. A christ
mas tree we'll filled with gifts carries
our the rest of the idea in a very
pleasing manner, while an old clock
OIL the mantle tells only too plainly of
the Santa Claus period of the days of
long ago.
In the Holmes q Spencer store,
Art Mccoy has shown his handy work
by handsomely dressed window in
pDple, white aud green. Here are
seen some of the articles that ap-
peal mostly to those of the sterner
sex who desire to make favorable
impression in the vorious walks of so
ciety- The design is at once unique
and striking and attracts the atten-
tion of all.
At the A & ID Friedman store there
is fine line of decorations as usual
on this occasion. In the Dry Goods
department, Miss Mabel Raymoril has
shown a marked degree of skill in her
presentations. The first window IS
adorned with a handsome star of
Bethlehem, on each point of which is
an electric light. The showings in
this window are of the dainty hand
kerchief variety accompanied with a
bounteous supply OF holly. The other
window is equally attractive and con.
sists of two snowy pillars bearing
rings of white and green which con-
tain the words, Merry Christmas
and "Happy New Year." this also is
one of Miss Raymond's designs with
generous supply of blankets for robes
and bed spreads. On the corner Paul
Drummond has shown his skill by
very tastily trimmed window in which
gentlemen's attire of various kinds is
predominant.
The windows of "Thc Hub" are a
very neat illustration of the handi-
w2rk of the practical window dresser
and displays a handsome variety of

GREAT LOADING RECORD
STEAMER FRANK PEAVEY
TAKES ON 1878 NET TONS OF
ORE IN FIFTY-ONE MINUTES.
Special to The Journal.

Escanaba, Mich, Aug. 12.-All
loading records for the Great Lakes
were broken here today when the
steamer Frank Peavey of the Peavey
Steamship company of Duluth took on
1875 net tons of ore in fifty-one
minutes at the Milwaukee Railroad
companys dock. No preparations
had been made at the dock to make
record and seven shifts were made
and five cars dumped into the pocket
during the one hour and forty-one
minutes that the Peavey was at dock
loading.
The Peavey is equipped with thir-
teen matches and owing to the fact
that no preparations had been made
for record loading at but two of the
shifts could the spouts be turned into
the full thirteen matches. On the
fourth shift there were five pockets
ready to be dumped, but Captain John
F. Johns refused to take but four at
that shift and it was afterwards neces-
sary to run five cars on to the dock
and dump them to fill out the load in
the bow, which caused a delay of
fifteen minutes and prevented the
record from being further reduced.
The gross number Of tons taken out
by the Peavey was 1882.
