and clear. Behold the glory of the

been ordained tnat we shall rule the

The word was then given by the
leader of the long haired people and
the musical program of the triumphal

from his followers who greeted him,
calling Benjamin. our king, and the
leader of the world" Then the other
apostles and leaders went up and en-

"Doo Trct" a Nisnomer.

Dogs have a variety of gaits, said
the boss Of the kennels, therefore /
can't understand why IL is that peo-
pie who describe a certain style OF
locomotion always call it dog trot.
Judging by the universally of that
expression, a body would think that
q dog never moves any other way
than on a trot. But he does. All the
gaits belonging to other four-fcoted
animals are also his. He runs. he
lcpes, he even racks and PAGES, so
when person in hurry falls into a
peculiar kind OF cantcr, there would
be just as much sense in speaking
OF his gait as dog run or dog gal
lop, once in while, as always to call
it dog trot.

air pipes were broken and the train

about the place OF the crime, but failed

Gambling Won't CO.

The story that Chicago and upper

open summer resort TO be conducted
on lines similar to those at Monte
Carlo, the site of the proposed enter
prise to be an abandoned village near
Dollar bay, Houghton county, gam
bling TO be conducted openly only on
large scale, and the place made at
tractive with theaters and amusement
halls, seems fishy for the reason that
there is no available village. desert
ed or otherwise. near Dollar bay,
which could be used FOR the purpose
alleged and in Hough,on county
gambling of whatever nature is strict
ly tabooed. Nobody i'm the copper coun-
try knows anything of the alleged
scheme. 1t is believed that possibly
the deserted village meant is one in
Keweenaw county, to the north Of
Houghton county, but even there an
undertaking of the kind would not be
permitted.

between 1,200 and 1900 bushels OF
oats and barley from 200 acres. Bui
part OF the wheat went down before
filing and was not harvested EXCEPT
for hay. The crop was worth at
threshing time, $4,000. Besides 10
acres laying idle except a timothy

estimate. Counting the value or the
product and the increase Of value OF

No Naval Battle Yet.

Although public interest in the war
has suddenly been transferred from
the battlefield in Manchuria to the In
dian ocean by the possibility of great
naval conflict between Admiral Rojest-
vensky and Admiral Togo. and despite
reports that scouting vessels have al
ready been engaged near the island of
Mauritius, the admiralty declines to
display any excitement. 1t can be as
serted, however, that the report that
Rojestvensky is awaiting Admiral Ne
bogatoff's division to strengthen his
squadron is Incorrect The vessels of
Nebogatoffs division are not of the
same type or speed as Rojestvensky's
and are only intended to trail behind

The 500 Wins.

In an opinion handed down Friday.
Judge VANITY practically puts quiz
etus on the suit Of the United States
of America against the city of Sault
Ste. Marie. The court in his opinion,
sustains the demurrer of the defend
ant on a point that precludes further
prosecution.
The case was brought to recover
damages for the destruction by fire of
the United States barracks at the 500,
the united States government having
entered into a contract with the 500
that provided for adequate fire pro-
lection for the barracks. The Judge
holds that the city had no power to
enter into such contract.

THE LEGISLATURE.

The Stone primary bill was before
the house for three hours Wednesday
and after lively scrap was referred
back TO the committee on elections by
vote OF so TO Al, not happy augury
for the amendment of the bill, or that
anything further will be done with IT,
The bill was reported about three
weeks ago and came up as special
order. IL was claimed that so many
imperfections were lodged In the bill
that the measure would be of doubtful
value. even IL the doubt as TO the con-
stitutionality of the clause providing
that the bill should be submitted TO
the people before becoming a law
were dispelled. 1t was urged that the
Republican platform adopted under
strenuous conditions at Grand Rapids
did not propose TO go so far as the
bill proposed and that a bill for local
option should take its place. The sit
uation is this: The house as consti-
tuted is against direct nominations for
all state candidates and United States
senators and sucn a bill properly
framed would not pass. The time is
slipping away and the preparation OF
a bill that will satisfy the administra-
ton and pass will be a work of sew
eral weeks, in fact the April elections
will pass into history before definite
action is taken. During the debate
Representative Galbraith, who had
made the motion to refer the bill back.
said: I'VE are breaking no party
pledges. Let us consider all the bills
introduced ON this subject and not
rush blindly into indiscreet legiSla-
ton
Representative Holmes asked what
Galbraith proposed to do with the
Stone bill and the answer dealt in gen
eralities.
II see the gentleman from Calumet
doesn't want TO answer the question"
said Holmes.
Let me interrupt" shouted Gal
braith. Il may say that those who are
pledged to the Republican platform
are pledged TO Kill this particular
bill, and the whole scheme was laid
bare.
