A Family Of Doctors.

Dr. George Pomainville returned
from Milwaukee last week full
fledged NJ. D., having completed a
four years course in medicine at the
College of Physicians and Surgeons.
He expects to spend several weeks
visiting in Grand Rapids and will
then probably return to accept an
appointment as inferno in ST. Joseph's
hospital at Milwaukee. George is
the third of four Pomainyille brothers
to become a doctor. Frank received
his degree of Nj. D. at. Rush Medical
College. Charles graduated d. d.
S. at the Chicago College of Dental
Surgery. George received his degree as
NJ. D. at Milwaukee. We sincerely hope
that George will gain the confidence
of the people in his chosen locality,
and we have every reason to believe
that he will be as successful, as his two
professional brothers of this city.

Our Faithful Dog "Mack" Dead.

During our absence at the World s
Fair some unworthy. and murderous
inclined person fed our faithful and
valuable hunting dog MACK and
Thomas cat, poison real early
last Wednesday morning At six
O'Clock the cat was dead and the dog
was making his last struggles. If we
were positive Of the perpetrators of
this crime we would see that they
suffered the penalty for such offense.
If the dog and cat deserved death for
anything they had done. quick
death by Shooting would be more
honorable and human. The placing
of poison in such method is a state S
prison offense and those who use such
means should be classed as murde rers
in the full sense of such term.

The Consolidated Company.

Tomorrow will be the eventful day
in the history of our new paper mill,
it has been steadily growing for about
eighteen months and now like a
strong man it takes it's place in the
active busy world as one of the most
important manufacturing plants in
the history of mankind. These mann
moth machines known as the Four
drinier, named in honor OF the two
brothers who perfected this system of
making paper, came in use about one
hundred years ago, or about the same
time of our Louisiana Purchase. 1t
is hard to tell which has done the
most for the development of this
country. The history Of papermakiDg
is one of the most interesting of oul
manufactured products. Machine No.
will begin making paper tomorrow
and may the millions who will reao
from the product of this machine be
the better and wiser for it.

Country Editors Influence.

The Denver Republican in an
editorial during the meeting there OF
the Colorado Editorial Association
said: "The members of the State
Editorial Association, which met in
this city, consists chiefly of editors of
papers published outside the city.
But while their publications may not
be SO widely known as some Others, no
intelligent man can be ignorant of the
powerful influence they exert and the
responsibility which rests upon the
men who conduct them. La what is
called the country press lies in larger
measure the hope Of the moral and
material Development of a State in so
far as it depends at all upon the news

Runaway Accident.

James McCarthy's horse became
frightened at an automobile, on
Cranberry street. near the bridge
last night, at about 7:30 and ran across
the bridge at Il fearful pace. Mr..
Mccarthy had firm hold on the lines
and kept the runaway horse in the
middle of the street, until High street
was reached, when the harness gave
way and the horse was free. Mr..
Mccarthy was thrown out on Bridge
street between John Farrish's
and Mrs. Balderson's residence
escaping with slight injuries.
Besides the harness being torn and
the thills OF the buck board being
broken. mo further damage was done.
It was however wicked looking
