FOR SEASIDE ON HORSEBACK,
ARRIVES AT HER DESTINATION
QUITE LATE.

arrival of Miss Wilma Young at Seaside
for which place she had started during
the afternoon on horseback. Miss Young
is the daughter of our well known citi-

Ipert horsewoman, did not fear riding the
distance unaccompanied. Not arriving
act her destination in due time her folks
telephoned to the family home and
learning of her departure felt consid-

befallen her. Her older brother, accom-,
panied by two friends, left here on horse
back in search of her but owing to the
fact that they separated in their search
of different localities they missed her.

What 0na Enjoys.

At Otto Sund's pretty and cosy resort
"The Commercial" one finds all that
the inner man desires in the refreshment
line and of the best quality too. To
pass a little time in such neat place
and spend it in pleasant conversafiOn
with genial friends, probably a little
business talk, is, to say the least, en-
livening. Courteous treatment is an
other thing that is appreciated and one
receives it from Otto himself who takes
charge during the day and from his
pleasant night manager both Of whom
dispense the best to be had. 'The Com
mercial," 500 Commercial street, is wen
known and widely patronizel.

BACK TAX SUITS DELAYED
Supreme Court Decision Prevents I'm.
mediate Action by the State
Against the Railroads.

Madison, Wis, Oct. By stipula-
ton the suits of the state against the
railroad companies for back taxes
will not be tried in the circuit court
here until some time next January. Ac-
cord1ng to recent decision of the SUI
preme court the state can not compel
the railroads to make an accounting
Of their earnings prior to 1897.
The state has sued for back taxes on
earnings since 1898. The taxes in con-
troversy are based on the gross earn
ings of the roads, and are alleged to
have been due under the license fee
law which was superseded three years
ago by the ad valorem taxation
statute. Some of the companies have
already paid the claims against them,
but the larger roads are preparing to
contest the claims against them. If
the state is successful, it is estimated
that the roads will have to pay about
$3.50 600

Pyrite, or sulphide of iron, occurs
quite freely in the iron measures and
granite cash veins in upper Michigan.
1t has a brassy color and is known as
fools gold' by reason of it's similari-

of the inexperienced. The miners call
it "mundic." Few people appreciate
the great value of this mineral. Its
principal use is in making sulphuric
