upon which the original find was
made. 1t is said that Thomas B.
Condor & Co. have taken an option
on the latter ground for 100000.
Two townsites have been started,
and at the one to be called Carpen-
ter. or Gold Creek, a bank is already
talked of, and 1t is said that a news
paper will see the light next week.
The other townsite, which is re-
ported To be nearer the original
strike, has been named Nome. APP
plication for a %postoffice has been
made. with Miss Alice Sheridan rs
postmistress. A stream of water,
which is said to flow steadily
throughout the dry months of sum
mer. runs through the town. Sew

Dry Cleaning Process That Is Better

are of silk. mix with the bran an
ounce or more of finely powdered indi
go blue. Provide several pieces OF
clean flannel. Spread the curtains, a
piece at time, on the table and
sprinkle with bran, a handful at a
time. Next, with bit of flannel rub
the bran round and round on the ma
terial, letting it rest before brushing
off. AS you proceed take clean bran
and flannel, and the curtains will be-
come much frightened and improved

If glazed chintz curtains are often

TO hide our grief we're scorning;
Come veal, come woe, what do we care

That's clouded our hereafter.

But now the blow has fallen, we

With various remarks upon

Her sulen looks. those ill-washed plates
Her slowness in the morning
How could we be surprised to hear
That Mary's given warning?
Now for month the front door bell
Will shake in agitation:
Young persons will be coming for
The vacant situation.
And so we sit in attitudes,
All occupations scorning,
Since we all heard at breakfast tim

Surety Bonds for Saloons.

The Bunting bill, providing that any
municipality in the state may accept
surety company bonds on liquor IL
censes, passed the senate. Those 'op-
posed were Senators Bates, Ely, Lins-

provides that surety bonds may be
accepted from a Michigan corporation
of more than 100000 capital. There
is as yet no such corporation, but the
proposed organization of $1,000, 900
company has been rumored. A bill
providing for the Incorporation of
such companies has already passed.
The only amendment made to the bill
was that surety bonds shall not be ac-
cepted in a municipality where ma

ator Lugers opposed the bill vigorous,
