James Mccormick. a woodsman,
employed in Mulligan's camp, near
Skanee, was found dead in his bed
Monday morning.
From reports given concerning
the man s death, it appears that he
had retired Sunday evening ap-
parently in good health. At the
usual hour Monday morning the call
was given for the men to turn out
for breakfast. but Mccormick did
not respond, consequently another
employe who occupied abunk beneath
that of Mccormick, reached up sand
attempted to arouse him from what
he supposed to Ue a sound sleep. AS
soon as his hand touched the body
be discovered that it was cold in
death.
Word was quickly passed through
the camp and messenger dispatch
ed for a coroner. At the inquest
the jury returned verdict OF death
from apoplexy.
Deceased was about AZ years of
age, and a good workman. Through
some of his companions it was
learned that he had father and
sister residing in Muskegon. Word

ment and sent to Muskegon

NEW PURE FOOD LAW STRINGENT,
Goods Improperly Labeled to Deceive
Consumers Must BE Cleared Out
Before First OF the Year.

Grocers and other dealers in
Baraga county, II they have moi
done so already, will have to hustle
to clear their shelves OF their old
stocks of canned goods which come
under the ban OF the new pure fooG
law, effective January lst. All
goods being purchased by grocers
must conform with the new law.
Among the canned articles which
have undergone the greatest change
10 order to come under the ne "
statute are canned meats. Waat
formerly went for potted ham and
chicken is now labelled chicken
favored" and "ham favored" and
the potted ham and chicken cans are
so labelled for they have to be the
real thing now. Before they were
neither ham nor chicken and the
process under which they must now
be made has advanced the cost to
some extent. In other cases, how
ever, the new law has tended to de-
crease the cost OF manufacture and
the prices are not materially
affected.
The old style "store mincemeat"
can no longer be sold, for this kind
was put up and kept mosit. In order
to do this it was necessary to add
and the new law will
not tolerate these. The mincemeat
that is found in the stores is now
dry and the wetness has to be added
by the consumer or by the mer-
chant. There are also those pretty
little green, red, blue and pink cher.
ries which the ''sundae cranks" like
TO have on the tip top OF their dish
of ice cream. These are declared by
pure food experts to be the rankest
poison, and IL the summer girl has
one on her ice cream hereafter it
will have to be good and pure.
Local dealers declare that the new
law will have the very desirable
effect OF knocking out the cheaper
grade of goods and only the best and
purest will find place on their
shelves hereafter.

AS the story goes, section hand,
located at Summit, went to Nestoria
Tuesday to spend the day, and
during the evening went to Dom

the early morning passenger train
for the Summit. During the wait
he frequently took his watch from
his pocket to ascertain the time
Finally he fell asleep in a chair.

SEASON OF
CHRISTMAS
Fittin8ly Observed in Both Churches
and Homes Throughout the
Township.

The Christmas season this yeal
was without doubt more fittingly
observed through out the township
than it has been in many previous
years. No.
Sunday last marked the.beginning
OF its observance. In all the protest
ant churches in the township, spec.
ial services were held and in every
instance the programs as arranged
were carried out in detail, much to
thes delight OF the large congrega-
tions in attendance. Inter
esting and instructive sermons were
preached by Rev. James Pascoe,
presiding elder of the Houghton
district, and it is pleasing fact to
note that Mr.. Pascoe has been fav-
orably received in this charge. The
music, under the direction OF Rev.
Horace N. Aldrich, pastor, was like
wise very favorably received and
won many compliments.
On Monday and Tuesday evenings
occurred the exercises In connection
with the various Sunday Schools,
and it is understood that at each en-
tertainment the buildings in which
they we're given, we're taxed to their
utmost capacity.
At midnight Monday, high mass
was held in Sacred Heart church, at
which time the newly organized boy
choir made its debut. and was splen-
didly received. The following day
was likewise devoted to special
services.
In the majority Of homes the day
was spent in such pleasures as is
customary at this season OF the
year. and it is safe to say that never
has there been similar season be-
fore in which the inevitable Christ
mas tree played such an important
part in the success OF the occasion.
The merchants are perhaps the
most pleased over the success of the
season, the majority considering it
the banner one, as they have but
little left to pack away ,and it is with
a feeling OF general satisfaction that
they will enter upon the new year.

Tuesday morning news was re-
ceived that Joseph Martin
Gavin, son OF Mr.. and Mrs. Martin

denly in a lumber camp in the

pany with a number OF workmen

the purpose of viewing the re-
mains of James Mccormick, who
was found dead in his bunk during
the morning. At about clock in
the afternoon the party returned to
their own camp, and upon their ar
rival separated, several OF the men
going into the camp while the re-
msinder went to the stables. Mr..
Gavin, however, did not leave the
sleigh, consequently the foreman re-
turned to ascertain the cause, where
upon he found that life was extinct.
Death is attributed to the bursting
of blood vessel in the brain.
Deceased was "a years OF age, and
was born at Champion, coming to
L'Anse a short time after to reside.
He leaves, besides his parents, three
brothers and three sisters to mourn
bis demise.

vesterday,s Report Of storm.

New Orleans, La, Sept. 28.-New
Orleans early today was cut on abso-
lutely from communication with all
points on the Gulf coast east of here.
For SO hours no information of any
sort came from towns less than an
hours ride by rail in the direction of
Mobile. All day yesterday the wash
out on the L. & N. r. R., 25 miles
from here marked the farthest point
eastward reached by rail. telegraph
or telephone. For hour after the
hurricane the two mile portion of the
railroad tracks which were submerg-
ed by the incoming tide was exposed
to an equally dangerous outward
flow of receding water. This morning
Lake Ponchartrain had Gained and
the high water had fallen to almost
its normal level.
The first reports from interior Mis-
sissippi own state that the hurr1-
cane did great damage in its north
ward progress. Vicksburg and Nc
Comb City reported buildings injur-
ed, and Jackson and Brook have re-
ported ten per cent damage to the
cotton crop.
Reports from Monticello, Miss,
| say that considerable damage was
done to pine forests near there, hun
dreds of trees being uprooted. The
trees mad fallen across the railroad
tracks to such an extent as to prac-
| tically suspend traffic east. Brief
| dispatches received here indicate that
the losses of interior towns of Mis-
| sissippi alone will reach hundreds of
of thousands of dollars. No heavy
| damage is reported at any point, but
the storm seems to have demolished
a few thousand dollars worth of pro-
perty in every town and county. The
| verified loss of life thus far has been
| confined to one man, run down by a
train during the storm.
The first news of the hurricane in
the Lower Mississippi River Delta
| was given today by C. Ansel, a pilot
| who came up the river on a tugboat.
| He said hat he saw the lower banks
of the river strewn with household
of these families escaped to their

| floating down the river, but was un-
able to learn what became of the

JOSEPH G. DlTMAN,
BANKER, DROWNED.

Joseph G. Ditman, president of the
Quaker City National bank, disap-
peared mysteriously and for two days
it was believed he had been robbed
and murdered. After a drive through
Fairmount park his empty carriage
and the horse were found. Search for
the banker continued for month.
Detectives went to all parts of the
United States and large rewards were
offered. Forty days after his disap-
pearance the decomposed body of the
banker was found floating in the
Schuylkill river.
Ditman was brought up In the paper
manufacturing business, and abandon
ed 1t to go into banking. He discount
ed paper for his old-time associates on
the flimsiest sort of collateral. He
sunk thousands of dollars in silver
mine in South Carolina. He went into
the printing business to recoup his
losses. and lost more, and in less than
two years, through his wildcat specula-
ton. and lack of care, he was stripped
of every dollar he possessed. His
mind became affected and the suicide
theory was generally accepted, not
withstanding the judgment of the cor
oner's jury that he was drowned by
accident.
