GOOD ONES
spooner and the spanIah


Senator Spooner was dramatically de-
claiming against the admission Of New
Mexico as a state in the exciting debats
in the senate. He talked much about
the alien character of the citizens OF
that territory.
Here" exclaimed he, holding up a
paper "is the list Of their council. It
reads like the muster of Spanish mill
tary company"
Read some Of the names," said SEN
ator Cullom.
Senator Spooner tossed the paper
aside with fine gesture Of disdain.
"The senator from Illinois asks me to
read some of the Names" he said. "I
do not speak Spanish and therefore I
must decline"
Senator Foraker, an advocate of the
admission of New Mexico, picked up
the paper.
II can read them" he said, "even if
the senator from Wisconsin cannot."
Then he read:
Thomas Smith, William johnson,
James G.. Robinson, Charles X. Clark
and William McGinnls."

The speech of Gov. La Toilette
yesterday in accepting the election to

pretty firm hold on the situation in
that state. He is coming here, we
may be sure. He has DO idea that it
will be necessary for him to continue
in the office of governor TO insure
such local legislation as he desires
The little warning he gave was a
flourish indicating how comfortable
he was feeling. This man as senator
is certain to command attention, and
Wisconsin with both him and Mr..
SpOOner on deck, will stand in the
front rank in that body. Instead of
one, as now, she will present two
little giants: and whether they pull
together, or occasionally in opposite
directions, they will contribute their
share to the spicings of the debates.

gives the stomach perfect rest by

AS postmaster of the Grand Rapids
postoffice, we received instructions
from the post master general at
Washington, d. G.. that the post
Office at Altdorf would be discontinued
on Wednesday, February 10. The
reason for this diScOntinuance was
probably dHe to the fact that rural
route No 3, accommodates the people
of that vicinity sufficiently so that the
government can save the expense
connected with said post Office. We
are ordered to receive all furniture,
records, etc. belonging to said office
giving our receipt therefore. Persons
interested in this matter will please
take notice of this change and have
their mail addressed accordingly.

1t is now almost d certainty that
the Valley division of the Chicago.
Milwaukee & ST. Paul railway will be
extendedsthe coming summer north
from Star Lake and through TO
Lake Superior. There is not a large
amount of the line to be constructed
in order to accomplish this ds the
company has secured lines in Upper
Michigan and connection will be
made. Either OntonagOn or Union
Bay will undoubtedly be the lake
shore terminal. This will. make a
through line of the Valley division

THE CIGARETTE EVIL"
MEETING A SUCCESS

The M. E. Church building was
crowded to its fullest capacity Sunday
evening with people who were anxious
to listen to addresses upon the evils
resulting from the use of ciagaretteS.
Rev. W. A. Peterson, Prof. Schwede,
and district attorney, Theodore w.
Brazeau, delivered interesting talks
upon the various features Of that
subject. These addresses were full OF
good thought and We feel positive
resulted in great good TO the many
young men and boys that were
present. If the young men of Grand
Rapids could fully realize the injury
done them by the smoking Of
cigarettes they would all stop using
them. They commence To use them
in small way and the habit gradually
grows upon them. When boy is so
attached to them that they will
sneak away in shed, barn, and out
of the way place to smoke them the
habit is pretty well fastened upon
them.
We believe the manufacture and
sale of them should be prohibited by
law in this state. We would favor
making it crime for dealer TO sell
them to any boy under the age of q.
If a boy must smoke. d cigar is bad
enough, but we would draw the line
there. The results from cigarette
smoking are growing greater every
year and it is high time that parents
wake up to the magnitude of it.
