The steamer Skater, of the Che
quamegon Bay Trans portat.on &C.,
had a rather peculiar accident yes
terday while on its weekly excur-
sisn among the Apostle Islands. The
boat was quite crowded and several
parties desiring to secure picture
of Lone rock at the northern end of
Bass Island, Capt. Murphy started
to run into small cove when the
boat became fast on rock at about
midships. It was two hours before
the boat was released by the steam
err Barker. No damage was done
and the Skater con tinued on. her
way to this city.
A party of nineteen ladies and
gentlemen were invited by Mr.. and
Mrs. S. l.. Boutin to take trip
among the islands last Saturday and
Sunday to troll for lake trout. Those
who comprised the party were
Messrs and Mesiames S. L. Boutin,
Fl. c.. Hale. A. d. LaBonte, Fred
Hofele, r. C. Rowley. A. Fl. Wilkin-
son, Burt p. Hill, Miss Katherine
MusseIl, Messrs A. J. Mussell, J.
p. O'Malley, J. 0. Valeen and
Master Grover BouLin. The party
arrived at Rice's is land at 9 O'Clock
Saturday evening where the fishing
shanties were taken possession of
and tents pitched. At an early
hour Sunday morning all were astir
and when breakfast was over the
row boats were filled and pulled out
for the trolling grounds near Brown
stone island. Nearly all of the par
ty were successful in landing a
trout or two, the ladies proving
themselves equal to the men in
landing the big trout. Outside of
the wind and rain storm which
came shortly before leaving time
Sunday evening, the day was an
ideal one for fishing and all were
more than pleased with the trip.

Ing we forgot all about Bill and shut ana
locked the Office and went home and
never thought about him until we opened
Up shop next morning at about q. m.
There was Bill setting inside waiting
for US and as mad as a wet hen. Bill
desired 70 know what we locked him IN
the office for and we.told him that we
forgot all about him. Then he got so
mad that we had to push him outen the
office. He paused long enough to say
that he would stop his paper and never
wanted 10 see a copy of It as long as he
lives. We stop Bills paper with pleasure.
Being as he has been a constant reader
and subscriber for nine years and Amt
never paid Us a cent since he started we
consider that 1t is more profitable TO
stop his paper at this juncture than to
let him get any deeper into our debt.
What applies TO Bill and his paper also
applies TO many OF our other subscribers

future itfheY Gep's- pay I'D.

Being as "Old Home Weeks" have
got so popular in many other cities and
metropolusses Of the country Bingville
has rose TO the occashion and has de-
cidcd TO have a old home week Of her
own which will occur some time dur
ing the month Of August coming the
exact date having not yet been fixed
exactly but will be later announcement
OF which viii duly appear in the Bugle.
This old home week for Bingvile was
the result Of delberashions on the part
OF the Board Of Trade consisting Of
Arioch Skinner. Simon Wilkins and
Plutarch Watkins. It occurred to these
three officials Of BiRgville that a old
home week would be a great thing for
the town 50 on last TUESDAY ev'g they
called a mass meeting to discuss It at
the Town Hall and there was a big
turn out present Arioch opened the
meeting and stated the objeCkt Of same
He said that being as It was more or
less common for various other cities
TO hold old home weeks he thought il
would be no more than proper for Bmg-
vile to have one He said that them
as had been horned and raised in Bing-
vile, as you might say, but who when
they had arrived at manhood and wo-
manhood, as the case might be, had left
these diggings and had sort of wan
dered away to the turmoil Of the great
cities and had sort Of got weaned
away from the apron strings of their
native heath, would take espeshial pleas
IRE IN coming back to visit US again if
We was 70 hold a old home week in
our midst and bid them welcome TO their
old stamping ground once more. Ari-
och said that he hoped if We decided TO
hold a old home week all would do
their part to welcome back the lost sheen
Of lsriul, as he might say. TO their old
familiar pastures and he calkilated that
there ought to be large banner paint
ed on muslin and hung acrost the street
in front Of the post office saving in
large letters WELCOME TO OUR
CITY, or words to that effeckt Then
Arioch set down and wiped the sweat
often his brow because it was toler-
able warm ev'g and besides Arioch aIlus
gets all het up when he has 10 speak
IN publick because, as he saws hisself
he amt no publick speaker.
Arioch then called on Sine Wilkins
another member OF the B. OF T. for a
speech and Sine removed his ouid and
got up and wrung out his coat tails for
mlnnit or two in agony and cleared
his throat and choked and coughed and
said that Arioch had voiced his senti-
ments exactly and he calkilated he
couldn'; add nothing TO il. .Arioch then
called on Plutarch Watkins who was
also considerable embarrassed and said
that Arioch in saying what he did about
old home week had took the very words
outen his mouth that he was a going
TO say hisself and that he therefore
didn't have nothink to say. Then Plu-
tarch sat down in disgust.
Arioch then called for expressions of
opinion on the part of various REPRE-
sentative citizens of Bingville who
CHANGED to be in the audience. Hank
Dewberry at once aroze and said he
was opposed TO any old home week be-
ing held in Bingville for the benefit of

had wandered from the fold and didn't

swum, he was agin L.
At this point Arioch told Hank to
set down as he was out of order and
besides he wasn't a representative citi-
zen Of Bingville anyhow. Hank said
he wasn't out OF order being as he had
just finished taking FIVE bottles Of
swamp root bi,ters and never felt bet

all declared that they would do all in
