What the Soul Wants.

For the next five Sunday afternoons,
Rev. j. Alexander Clyde will talk at
the Y. M. G. A, on What The Human
Soul Wants" The five sub-topics are
''The Fact of the Father" His Rev
elation To His Sons, "His Cure For
Sin," His Test For Service" and His
Assurance For Faith"
The purpose of the talks is to
strengthen faith and show it in what
manner the longings of the soul are
met and satisfied by Christian life and
thought.
There is no intention, as there is no
necessity, to shape the talks into argu-
ments, but rather to develope the
theme as study of human feelings
and desires.
1t is intended to show that out of
the heart are the issues of life;' that
the soul seeks the Father of Spirits
that the soul must find in Him the
answer to its problems.
II is the speakers intention to make
the talks interesting and practical.
instructive and helpful.

building.
The department of medicine and sur.
gerry, for which provision was made in
the legislative act by which the Uni

opened for students in 1850. The col

nine months in 1877. The course was
heightened to three years in 1880, and

muck almost forty.fve. pounds per
hundred weight of wet SOIL

muck almost forty-fve pounds per
hundred weight of wet soil.
1t was found long ago that all soils
would not'give up their water to grow
ing crops with equal ease and thorough
ness. 1t was found that while clay
with fine particles would have mucK
larger gross amount of water per cubic
foot than would a sand, with coarse
particles, it would not yield up as great
q proportion of it's water content to a
crop growing on it. A corn crop will
wither on clay soil when the per cent
of water drops to certain figure, while
sand will keep the crop well supplied,
although it's per cent of water is no
higher This is largely because the
surface over which the water is spread
is so much greater in the clay. With
the water film of given thickness the
clay would contain vastly more water
than the sand. On the other hand,
when the water is so far exhausted
from the soil that the film over the soil
particles is too thin to be utilized by the
plant rootlets, because it is spread over
so much more surface in the clay. the
weight of water in the clay must be
much more than in the sand when
the water exhaustion has reached the
same point. In other words, although
the sands may contain fewer pounds of
water per cubic foot than do clays, they
will give up to plant roots much
larger proportion of what they do
possess.

KILLED ON
RAILROAD.
Thomas Spencer, of Negaunee
Killed While Stealing
Ride.

Tuesday morning Sheriff Octave
Sicotte received message inform
ing him that the body Of man had
been found on the tracks near Three
Lakes, which had evidently been
killed by train. He notified cor.
onor and jury was empaneled, a
portion of which, in company with
Mr.. Sicotte, left for the scene. Up
on investigation the following facts
developed.
Thomas Spencer. OF Negaunee,
had set out for the Mesaba range
with a companion, James O'Brien,
also Negaunee young man. They
proposed to beat their way, and
when the westbound passenger train
pulled out from Negaunee late Mon
day night they were riding on the
blind baggage. The young men
we're discovered by the conductor,
however, and at Champion they
were ordered from the train. The
command was complied with, but
when the train started Spencer and
O'Brien attempted to board the
train again. O'Brien was success
full in getting aboard at the front
end, but in doing so became separ-
ated from his companion. This
however did not worry him, as he
was under the impression that
Spencer had succeeded in catching
the rear end of the train, or else had
waited for a westbound freight that
was soon to follow the passenger
ont of Champion.
At Nestoria O'Brien left the train
and started to look for Spencer.
Finding no trace of him he became
alarmed and boarded an early train
then leaving for Champion, where
he reported the occurrence to the
authorities. Search was instituted
for Spencer, and the body OF the
young man was found on the right
of-way of the Shouth Shore railway
at point known as Three Lakes, be
tween Michigamme and Nestoria.
The remains were taken to Negaune
Tuesday evening. Whether Spencer
was aboard passenger or freight
train is not known. Spencer was
about % years old and was employ
ed as a miner at Negaunee, where
his parents reside.

DROPPED DEAD.
Narcisse SicOtte Expired Sud-
denly Last Saturday
Morning.

Narcisse Sicotte, of this village,
died suddenly at the home Of his
brother. Octave Sicotte, last Satur-
day morning about 10 o clock, while
the remains OF his little niece,
Josephine Sicotte, were being
borne from the residence to the
hearse, preparatory to holding the
funeral services in Sacred Heart
church. Death was caused by brain
trouble. 1t was at first thought
that the young man was overcome
with grief, and had tainted. He
was taken into another room, and a
physician summoned, but death
resulted 10 a few seconds.
Narcisseor Frank, as he was more
Familiarity known, was born ia Mar
quette in 1872, and when quite young
came to L'Anse to reside at the
home OF his brother. He was greatly
attached to his nieces, and the death
OF little Josephine Sicotte affected
him greatly, grief undoubtedly
bringing on the brain trouble which
resulted in his sudden demise.
His sad and untimely death is a
severe shock to the family, to whom
the sympathy of the community is
extended in their hour Of bereave-
ment.
The funeral was held from Sacred
Heart church Monday morning at 10
o'clock. the service being conducted
by Rev. FIR. j. Hem.
