A skanee Man Missing.

For the past few days considerable
talk has been aroused among the
residents OF Skanee and vicinity
concerning the sudden and peculiar
disappearance of Neil Mcintosh, a
laborer, who for some time has made
his home at that place.
1t appears that about week ago
Mcintosh started for L'Anse by
stage route and when about to
ascend one OF the steep grades re-
marked to the driver that he wonld
get off and walk up the incline.
Alta point near the roadway leading
to Olof Fossum s farm, it is said that
he left the main roadway and started
towards the woods, and that was the
last that was seen OF him since.
Mcintosh has frequently served time
in the Baraga County Jail on
grounds of insanity, and it is sup
posed that he was suddenly over
taken with the old trouble and in
his delirium had run into the woods
to escape his imaginary troubles.
At first nothing was thought of
the incident but as time has gone on
and nothing has since been seen or
heard OF him, fears are entertained
that the 1unfortunate fellow had
wandered into the forest and was
lost. and If such is the case it is safe
to assume that should he ever be
found life will long be extinct.
There is some talk .of organizing
a searching party soon, and endeavor
to locate the fellow il possible.

OF INTEREST 10 CATHOLICS.
Announcement Of importance Recent
Made by Mser. Falconico.

Abstaining from meat on Friday
is one OF the strictest rules of the
Catholic church, Christmas being
the only Friday on which the con-
sumption OF flesh food is allowed.
Next year, 1908, Christmas will fall
on Friday and Catholics may eat
meat.
This year, All Saints, great feast
in the church, fell on Friday. The
day before the feast, or the vigil,
was day of fast and abstinance
from meat. Thus two days of alb
stinance would come together. On
this account aud on account of the
solemnity Of the feast, the rule was
set aside for this one time.
The announcement Of this was
made by Msgr. Domenico Falconico,
of Washington, D. c., the apostolic
delegate to the United States, to all
the archbishops OF the country.
