The L'Anse sentinel. (L'Anse, L.S., Mich.) 18??-current, 1905-02-25

Chicago. johann Hoch, whose record
rs bigamist Is said to surpass anything
of the kind in police annals. and for
midable rival of "Bluebeard' Holmes.
hanged in Philadelphia some years ago,
has arrived here from New York to an
swer charges of homicide and bieamy.
The Chicago authorities have already
placed on this man responsibility In nu-
merous cases of bigamy and murder,
but hardly a day passes that some de-
serted wife does not make herself
known to the police, and, after having
seen Hoch's picture, declare that In
the versatile German lies her long-lcst
husband. The number of these cases
has reached nearly 60, and new ones are
constantly coming to the fore.
Hoch's alleged doings are. to say the
least remarkable in the extreme. IL
is declared that he has operated in towns
in all parts of the country. and the
names which he assumed in his deal
inps are. as one police official puts II,
as numerous as Fourth-of-Juiy
.'drunks." The list of cities In which It
ia believed Uoch operated is as follows:

Plain WALLPAPER.

The trouble with Powered wall papers
is that they do not admit Of pictures.
Few children are content with bed
room or nursery without pictures and
If their tastes are consulted, as they
surely should be, the pictures selected
for any room will be more or less mis-
celianeous. Therefore, the nursery or
sitting room sacred to youth should be
furnished with a view of permitting lat
itude in decoration. The walls should.
be plain buff, brown or green in softest
tones, and the woodwork, for prefer.
ence, white. With such background.
almost any decorative color scheme may
fe followed. Boys need to be encour-.
aged to fit up their own rooms, and so,
in these emancipated days, do many
girls. The instinct is sure to sleep il
made to-order rooms are given children.

THE 1904 DOLLAR
Mr.. L. Mercer Has The Fourth
And Last One Of Those
Made In That Year.

Mr. L. Mercer, dry goods merchant
of this city, has IN his possession the
last 1904 dollar, for which 80 many
''rsre coin" dealers have searched in
vain, for several years. Mr.. Mercer,
while living in Talladega, Ala, some six
or eight years ago, loaned man there
five hundred dollars. and the borrower,
being unable to pay back the five hun
dred borrowed money, offered MI. Mer.
Ger what he had, which was a handful
Of old coins, and which had been saved
up by the gentleman father during his
lifetime. 1t was sometime before Mr..
Mercer was appraised of its high com.
mercial value, but as he is now aware
that it is worth perhaps something over
twelve hundred dollars, he is not likely
to part with it at q low price.

HORSE AND WAGON
IN THE DITCH

A horse and delivery wagon belonging
to Brown d Bostlck, had a tumble into
a ditch on Hay Long avenue Thursday,
both landing bottom side up. The por-
ter had left the horse and wagon as usu-
al to deliver some groceries in a nearby
house, and while thus engaged the horse
picked grass too near the ditch, so near
that all at once the front wheel Of the
wagon went into the ditch, thus COM
pletey capsizing both wagon and horse.
Fortunately, liLtle damage resulted more
than broken shaft and slightly skin
ned and bruised horse. The distance
from the top of the ditch to it's bottom
at this place is about three feet. and it
is wonder greater damage did not re-
suit.

LETTER FROM Mr.. RUHM

To the Editor:-I nave been keeping
up with the suggestions made by You
recently ia the II erald for the improve

ana desire To say that | heartily endorse
your views on Gnese SUBJECTS.
While on this line, desire TO call at
tenton TO another Improvements (So Iar
not touched on by YOU which could De
made at comparatively a small COST, ana
would be of Incalculable benehG to a
goodIy portion OF our corporate limits.
AS IL is now, IL Is almost an annual
occurrence that the territory lying along
the L. d N. X X. JIacK from The cor
puration line On Gne south TO Ele corpo-
ration line on the north, and extending
distance of two blocks or more WesG
from the railroad, Is Hooded by Uhe wa

Lying along the ralIroad, This Is Tile log

for manufacturing ana shipping INDUS
tries such as might be prevailed on TO
locaCe here; and II we desire to keep Nc.
Peasant on Che firm footing winch lt
now seems TO be assuming, IG is neLes-
sary that such indus tries SHOULD be en-
Outraged III every possible way.
We all rememuer the terrible results
of the fresnet OF March rs, 1909; and on
various dates since then smaller ones
have occurred, any oue of which has
done sufficient damage to more than pay
che cost of protecting TINS territory III
the future.
Alter a fairly careful investigation,
have ascertAlned that large portion
practically all) of che water which
spreads over anO runs through this por
ton of the town after oveIy heavy RAIN |
comes through IA low portion of che bank
of sne creek where 1t makes sharp |
turn about on tine line DetNee the |
Nowlin and Estes property, the waller |
through a low gap, not over two |
aundred feet wide, running across the
Estes property land then passing through |
lie lower portion of the town.
A short distance down stream from
ibis point Sugar Creek passes under the
-ailroad trestle, and from that point up
20 and beyond the northern corporation
limits is confined to the east side of the
abroad embankment.
1t is my opinion that by throwing up
. levee from four to five feet high across
he low gaps between the turn in the
,reek above referred TO and the railroad
his body of water could be diverted
lnd abs olutely kept off of the entire ter
itory above referred to.
This is a matter of sufficient impor-
ance to be brought before the City
Council with the request that they as
certain what would be che cost of build
ng such levee, and that they be urged
o have it done. The portion of the
own concerned has gotten compare
lively a small share of the improvements
made by the city authorities, and this
would be a splendid opportunity to give
he property holders some benefit from
he taxes they are required to pay.

Home Habits

There is certainly no better place to
learn the correct way of doing things
than at the family table and in the
home. So many persons think that 1t
makes no difference how they look or
how they act at home IL they can be
attractively gowned and have good
manners when in public. What mis-
take they make! How much more at
tractive the home would be if the
mother and children were always at
tractiyely and freshly dressed. and
the simplest home meal served in a
dainty and correct way.
