FOUND DEAD
IN THE WOODS.
Charles Papa, a Lumberman Employed
In s. D. Murphy's Camp, Dies
in Lonely Spot.

Monday evening, at about $50
o'clock, the body of Charles Papa, q
lumberman employed in Simon D.
Murphy's lumber camp, was found
in lonely spot about three-quart'
ers OF mile distant from the camp.
According to the story as told by
Mr.. Murphy, it appears that Papa
had been on protracted spree,
having recently come from Michi,
CANINE. He came to the camp dur
ing the latter part OF last week and
applied for work. He was engaged
and was to be put to work driving 9
horse on the skidding road, but as
he was in no condition to do much,
he was not sent out until Monday
morning.
During the dav, in the absence oI
the cook, it is thought that the man
had entered the camp and drank the
contents OF quart bottle Of lemor
extract, which was gone when the
cook returned.
Nothing in particular was thought
of the incident. however, until Paps
complained of feeling sick and asked
to be released from work, that ht
might lie down. His request wa!
granted, and he started off in th'
direction of the camp, but after
wards changed his course ant
Travelled in the opposite direction
along logging road,
Later in the day several mel
passed along the loggini
road, and when about three
quarters OF mile from camp, the,
came upon the body of the unfortu
nate man.
Word was sent to this village an,
a number of men left for the scene
The body was brought to L'Ans
and prepared for burial.
Papa was a French Canadian, 4
years of age, single man and
good workman when sober. Th
only relatives who could be Located
we're an uncle and cousin residin
] at Ishpeming, who sent word t
have the remains inferred in th
local cemetery, which was done a
3 o'clock Tuesday afternoon. A
inquest was deemed unnecessary.

TO BE OBSERVED.
Otherwise Schools Wont Share In
Distribution Of Big Primary
Fund.

A Lansing dispatch says: "Those
school districts that have not COM
piled with the school laws of the
state are likely to have some diff
Guilty in securing their allotment of
the big primary school fund, accord
ing to the plans OF the state depart
ment of public instruction.
1t is notorious fact that in a
large number OF districts OF the
state school officers do not comply
with the school laws. Money is
often borrowed without authority,
school officers do not furnish the
bonds required by law, and little at
tention is paid to other important
provisions of the law.
In order to ascertain to what cx-
tent the school laws are being COM
piled with the department of public
instruction has been sending out
blanks to the directors of every
school district in the state, with a
statement that answers must be
given if the districts are to partici-
pate in the allotment of the primary
funds. The questions cover num-
Der of subjects, and are intended to
reveal whether the laws of the state
are being observed by school officers.
In some districts, it has been
found already, bonds have not been
given by district officers, and the
state authorities do not propose to
entrust the primary money, especi-
ally in view of the large sum to
be distributed, to school officers
who have not furnished satisfactory
bonds. Bonds in sufficie Mt
amount to protect the districts will
be required"

4 ID. LEvITAN, L'Anse.

T. A. Green and Henry Mcmillan,
of Ontonagon, had rather exciting
experience with gasoline car which
was secured for use on the lines OF
the Ontonagon railroad company,
says the Herald. The machine was
given trial few days ago by Mr..
Green. 1t started off fairly well,
developing great speed, but after it
had gone few miles it took to the
tall timber. Mr.. Green was thrown
off, landing on the rail with great
force; his foot was caught in the car
and he was dragged for some distance
in this manner. A few days later
Mr.. Mcmillan gave the car a trial.
For accomplishing unlooked-for
stunts, a bucking broncho and an
auto are not in the same class. After
considerable coaxing the machine
was started and the speed
which it attained was a caution.
When an attempt was made to slow
down it went all the faster until it
left the track and Mr.. Mcmillan
continued the journey alone for
some distance, receiving severe
shaking up and several bruises. The
car was finally rounded up and

new LAW Effective
SEPTEMBER 9TH.
After That Date II VIII Be Much More
Difficult To Become
Naturalized.

Instructions have been received
from the bureau of immigration and
naturalization relative to the natur-
alization act passed by congress
June 2ath, 1906, and which goes in
to effect Sept. 9th. There are
several radical changes in the new
law. 1t requires that all persons
making declarations of intention
must be able to speak the English
language. and to write their sigma
lures in English.
The new act requires a more
rigid investigation of the immigra-
tion record OF the applicants and
the clerks of court will work in con-
junction with the immigration de-
partment at Washington in order to
verify all details of these records.
The act provides that on and after
Sept. p, 1906. declarations OF in
tentions to become citizens of the
United States shall be filed with the
clerks OF such state courts only as
have "a seal. clerk, and jurisdic-
tions in sctions at law or equity, or
law and equity, in which the amount
OF controversy is unlimited
Declarations of intentions made
prior to Sept q. 1906, before clerks
of courts having jurisdiction to
naturalize aliens under the provis-
ions of the law existing az the time
such declarations were made may
be used in lieu OF the declaration re.
quired by the new act, at any time
after the expiration of two years
from the date when made.
Aliens who have made declaration
/ OF intention prior to Sept. p, 1906
under the provisions of law in force
at the time of making such declara
tions, can not be required, as pre-
liminary to filing their petitions fo
naturalization, to file new declara
tions to comply with the provision
of the new act. Nor are such alien
required, as a condition precedep
to naturalization, to speak the Eng
lish language.
| 1t is likely that many declaration
of intentions viii be filed with tn
clerks of courts before the neS
law goes into effect, as all fling sue
declarations are not required t
speak English.
Aliens who make declarations prio
to Sept. 27, 1906, unless they can b
naturalized before the new law te
comes effective. must comply wit
all requirements of the act of Jun
80, 1906. in securing second paper,
except that they will not be re
quired to speak the English lar
guage, or to sign petitions in thei
own handwriting.
