 A short program was presented, which included the following numbers:
 Piano Solo-Mrs. R. R. Brown.
 Duet-banjo and guitar-Messrs. Callarman and Brown.
 Vocal Solo-Mrs. James Christoe.
 Address-Judge Irwin.
 Tableau-"The First Degree" Messrs. Sterling and Barackman.
 Immediately following cards were in- troduced, and lunch was served, the enjoyment of which vas heightened by an impromptu program, not down on the bills, introducing German, Irish and Scotch songs by artists we'll known to have never taken part in anything of the kind before. It was all good and served to effectually break what little reserve ice that was hanging around the edges of royal good time.

Deputy collector of customs Shep- ard, at Juneau, has received from Sec'y. Geo. B. Cortelyou, of the Department of Commerce and Labor the following notice, bearing date of April IS, 1904
 The order embodied in Treasury De- partment Circular No. 3, dated Jan. 5, 1903. providing that "the duration of the fishing season in the streams of S. E. Alaska, between the parallels 59 deg. and 30 min. north, and 54 deg. and 40 min. north latitude, and east of the 141st meridian, be limited and not per mitted until after the 30th day of June of each year." is hereby rescinded.

Useless Extravagance.

That recent fire in Douglas City, AL aska, reversed the popular idea of northern things. There being no water handy, the fire was extinguished with beer. It has been generally sup posed that an Alaskan would let the building burn since he could rebuild that, but beer has to go all the way from Charlottesville Times.
 The above item is going the rounds of the Alaska press, without comment. The idea that all the beer consumed in Alaska has to be shipped "all the way from Seattle" is erroneous. Douglas has brewery that turns out lots of beer, and it is sold all the way from Valdez to Ketchikan. Those Seattle fellows always try to get an oar into about everything that goes.

 Miss Stella E. Leopold, daughter of Mrs. T. Leopold, and MT. Samuel Blum, of Valdez, Alaska, were united in marriage last Sunday by Rabbi Joseph at her home, 926 Eighteenth Avenue.
 Spring blossoms were used lavishly in the handsome rooms.
 The bride was daintily gowned in white lace and looked very girlish and sweet.
 After the ceremony wedding supper was served to about twenty relatives and intimate friends. MT. and Mrs. Blum left the next day for California where they will spend the next six weeks, after which they will go to Val dez for the winter.

To cold draughts of air, to keen and cutting winds, sudden chonges of tenn perature, scanty clothing, undue ex- posture of the throat and neck after public speaking and singing, bring on coughs and colds. Ballard's Horehound Syrup is the best cure.

The platform adopted at the repub

The platform adopted at the republi-
can state convention is as follows:
As representatives of the republican
party of Michigan in convention assem-
bled this 30th day of June, 1904, we
take especial pride at this time in recall
ing the worthy deeds Of our party's half
century of existence. and in the further
fact that the great organization, first
formed under the Oaks at jackson"
July 9, 1854, has been victorious in
Michigan in every national contest,
from John @. Fremont to VIM. McKin-
ley, and we will add one more bright
page to Michigan's history of the re-
publican party through as memorable a
victory in the campaign before us as
ever we have won in the past for our
fearless leader and typical republican,
Theodore Roosevelt. sFNaa y
We gladly endorse the action Of the
national republican convention at Chi
cago, accepting its declarations of party
faith and party purpose as expressive of
the principles to which we have given
cordial support in the past, and pledge
unwavering loyalty for the future. In
the candidates of that convention,
Roosevelt and Fairbanks, we recognize
men who are not only worthy to repre-
sent our party as its honored leaders,
but men who in all the great duties be-
fore them will be equal to national de-
mands and fully prepared for even the
greatest emergencies which the onward
movements of great nation may in
woke and create.
We are pleased again to commend our
senators and republican representatives
in congress from this state for their
united and jealous advancement of the
principles and policies of the republican
party, and again desire to approvingly
refer to our present state officers and
state administration for the conserva-
tive and judicious conduct of state
affairs which have been maintained,
and particularly for the determined
efforts which have been made and are
being made to secure that measure of
equal taxation which includes within
its requirements the most powerful cor
poratiOn as well as the humblest indi-
yidua1s

Misreprese ntins Beet Sugar interests.

Misrepresenting Boot Sugar Interests
A Detroit paper prints a ridiculous
article in which it assumes to elabor
ately outline the alleged details, plans,
objects and purposes of what it calls q
merger or consolidation of six Of the
largest beet sugar manufactures of this
state. If the writer had read The
Courier Herald of last Wednesday
morning, he would have found therein
that factories have merely formed a
board made up from member from
the directorate of each factory, the
duties of which are to conserve the in
dustry, to devise economies and take
steps in concert that will put the beet
sugar making and sugar beet growing
business upon a basis that will insure
permanency and success.
The organization is in the form of a
sort of community ofinterest, and in
no sense financial merger or consolida-
ton. Each factory will conduct its OPP
erations in business way as heretofore,
and will remain as now, separate and
distinct corporation, with its own direct
ors, officers and managers. The Courier
Herald pointed this out upon authority
quite clearly and directly, and it is hard
to understand why certain newspapers
do not print the facts so readily obtain
able, instead of giving publication to
stuff that has no basis in truth, and
which might do much harm.
The beet. sugar industry has had a
hard row to hoe for the past three years,
and what with tariff tinkering, dis
astrous weather conditions, experiment
al mistakes with new and untried IN
dustry, and persistent policy of GER
tain newspapers to misrepresent the,
facts or to show unfriendly attitude to-
ward it, there is,really wonder that it
has done so we'll Sugar beet growing
should be a tremendous benefit to the
farmers of Michigan in those section
adapted to its culture, and in that we
are interested more particularly than in
the manufacture. But, of course, the
success Of the beet as a crop is useless
unless the manufacturers can also be
successful and anything that will in
sure that will also insure the benefit 10
the raiser of the beet. Economies, in
tensive culture, right methods and care |
full oversight must be attained before |
the harmonious conditions are brought |
about which will bring permanent and |
steady profits to both factorsin this m
dustry. Anything that promises that |
should be encouraged, not impeded and
retarded by misrepresentation that is
likely to keep these two dependent fac
tors apart. Saginaw Courier Herald.

JUDGE MATTHEW BUSH
Is the Peer Of Any Probate Judge IN
the. State.

From Perry Journal.
Among the Offices to be filed this fall
there is none more important than that
of probate judge. This fact is becom-
ing more apparent at each election by
the continuance in the Office of men who
have proved themselves capable and
honest in administering the laws regard
ing the estates of deceased persons
There is great opportunity for dishonest
persons to impose upon and rob the
widow and the orphan when afflicted by
the loss of husband and father 1t is
therefore needful that a watchful eye
and experienced mind be at the helm
when these trials and tribulations
come.
Judge Bush is serving his fourth term
and the best concentrations for his abil
ity economy and accurate manner in
settling estates, come from those who
have transacted business with him, and
who know the money, time and annoy
ance saved them. Each and all want
him retained in that important Office.
While in point of time served, Judge
Durfee, of Detroit, is his senior, Judge
Durfee having been 90 years in service,
yet in point of ability, economy, honesty
and integrity, he is excelled by none in
the state.
There is another point which speaks
well for him and that is there is not a
voter however partisan he may be, if he
has ever transacted business with him,
but that will vote for him at the polls.
The Office, indeed, should be above par
tisanship, and is in large sense
There can be no question but that he
will be renominated, and his majority
will be larger than ever before

Uncle Sans Balance Sheet

June 30 closed the fiscal year of The
United States government, and tht
treasury report for the twelvemontt
was made up. As every one knows i,
is one of the duties of the secretary of
the treasury to estimate, as closely as
can be done, the expenditures and rev.
enue of the nation, and submit them to
congress- for its guidance in making the
annual appropriations. The compari.
son of Secretary Shaw's estimates with
the actual receipts and expenditures
show that he was carefully conservative.
He estimated the revenue at $50 mil.
lion dollars, while the actual receipts
We're little over SAL millions. He fig
ured on $40 millions of expenditure,
while the actual sum paid out was near
ly 528 millions; but in his estimates he
of course could not foresee that within
the year there would come expenditures
to secure the right of way for the Paha-
ma canal, nor that congress would loan
"a, 600, 600 to the Louisiana Purchase ex-
position items being of course in
cluded in the actual total of money ex-
pended.
This total is over 81 million dollars
greater than that for 1903; but this ex-
cess is largely accounted for by the pay
ments to the French Panama company
for its canal property, to Panama of ten
millions, as required by the treaty, and
by the loan to the st. Louis exposition.
The surplus for the year is only three
fourths of a million less than the secre-
tary's estimate, when only those items
are taken into consideration, which he
used in making up his figures.
Perhaps the most interesting item in
the national balance sheet is that the in
ternal revenue collections for the fiscal
year exceed those for the previous one
by more than $3, 500, 900. AS the rates
of internal revenue taxation were pre-
cisely the same for both years, this
shows that the business Of the country
ashad good increase, and that the
assumption that it is decreasing is un-
warranted. In fact, the only line of
business which is stagnant is the Wall
street stock market; and this is because
the general public had its fingers severe
ly burned in handling Steel securities,
and in other stock speculations Toledo
