Politics Warming Up.

To the general observer, Baraga is
the seat and hot-bed '.of county politics
just at present. Monday evening a
Republican caucus was held in the
Town Hall, the purpose of which was to
choose delegates to attend the county
convention to be held in L'Anse Tues
day next.
At this time the names of James
Mcmahon, F. w. Schwalm, Thomas
Tracy, Samuel Hill, Robert Price and
John Markell were elected for that
purpose.
When this was generally known by
some of the citizens who were not
present, the question arose as to when
and where notice of the caucus was
given, and move was at once made
to test the legality of it.
This brought about the result that
another caucus has been called to take
place this evening with the same object
in view as that of No. l, and now the
outcome will be eagerly watched when
the two delegations come before the
convention.
The result of Monday night caucus
has kindled a lively flame beneath the
political pot and has brought about
numerous heated arguments between
the different factions.

Raises Bumper Berries.

Saturday last THE SENTINEL force
was treated to sight that made their
mouths water to great degree. C. T.
Mortified, of Baraga, made the Office
call while en- route through L'Anse
and displayed quantity of black ber-
ries which he had plucked from bushes
on his property in this village. To all
appearances they were more like a
small cluster of grapes than one berry
and were as sweet and delicious as
their appearance would suggest.
Mr.. Merrifeld is great enthusiast
over the productiveness of the soil not
alone in Baraga but Baraga county in
general and lives in the hope to soon be
able to supply the market with his
product. Berries are his chief hobby
and he can tie n some of the old timers a
few tricks that naturally come from
careful study of the subject.

School Resumes Tuesday.

Tuesday will witness the resumption
of Baraga schools after the summer
vacation and from all appearance it will
be one of the most successful years in
the history of the schools.
In a number of instances, depart
ments will be presided over by new
teachers, some replacing former teach
ers and others being new in the ranks.
This year the principalship of the
High School will be in the hands Of j.
i. Harrington, who last year presided
over the school at Keweenaw Bay. The
grammar department will in charge of
Miss Helen Murphy, the intermediate
by Miss Tillie Kolz and the primary by
Miss Anna Anderson.
In the outlying schools Miss Helen
Theobald will teach the school in the
Town Hall and Miss Alice Roman the
kindergarten. The Giddings school will
be under the tutorship of Roy Stratton
and the Wallent school under William
.Stratton. At Bellaire's Miss Eva Mayo
will preside and at Falk's Miss Bernar-
dine Vaughan. At Keweenaw Bay
Daniel Leary will occupy the position
held by J. /. Harrington, as principal,
and assisted by Miss Margaret Ryan.
S. %. Clinton will continue in the ca
pacity of superintendent, which is an
assurance that the schools of the dis
trict will maintain the high standard as
has been the pleasure for past years.
A meeting of the teachers of the
school district has been called to take
place Monday afternoon next at 1:3O
O'Clock at the High School building, at
which time plans for the years work
will be made and discussed. An urgent
request that all teachers will be present
is made, as there is much of import
ance to be brought before the meeting.

Two Alarms Sounded.

Baraga Fire Department was called
upon this week to respond to two
alarms of fire. The first came at late
hour Thursday evening while high
wind was blowing and storm approach
ing. The blaze was located beneath a
pile of slab wood in the Baraga Lumber
Co.'S mill yards, but as it was discover
ed in its early stage it was only a
matter of short time before it was
extinguished with but little damage.
The second call came Friday morning
but proved to be of false nature,
having been sounded from the belief
that the residence of Thomas Strickland
was in danger. Upon arriving at the
scene it was found to be nothing else
than a burning refuse heap with nc
no danger of further Instruction.

Dear Sir:- Referring to the commun-
ication in an issue of your valuable pa
per under date of August 22d, from
Mr.. Charles Price, concerning the pro-
motion of the Farmers Institute and
Picnic recently held in Hands Grove,
and the conditions under which it was
carried out, an oversight on the part OF
the writer prompts me to make fur
Their explanation and also recognition OF
,one who was greatly responsible for
the success of the event.
In distributing the various credits
due those who had lent efforts in be-
half of the enterprise, the name 'oi
Robert Price was overlooked.
As a matter of fact Mr.. Price was
the one who at this time acted upor
my expression of long ago and willing
ly came forward with financial aid
There never seemed any successful wa!
of raising funds for the caring OF tn
Institute under the old system, ant
while we farmers need all the informa
ton we can get in our occupation, tn
farmers did not seem much inclined t
help the cause by subscription. There
fore all honor is due Robert Price TO
arranging this event so successfull
from financial point of view.
There is also great amount OF cree
it due all our brother farmers who
generously donated their time towar
helping the work along at the grounds
for without this it is safe to presum
that the affair would have been fai
ure financially.

Nature and q woman's work COM
bincd have produced the grandest
remedy for woman's ills that the
world has ever known.
In the good old fashioned days OF
our grandmothcrs they relied upon
the roots and herbs of the field to
cure disease and mitigate suffering.
The Indians on our Western
Plains to-day can produce roots and
herbs for every ailmcnt, and cure
diseases that battle the most skilled
physicians who have spent years in
the study of drugs.
From tho roots and herbs of tho
field Lydia Il. Iinkham more than
thirty years ago gave to the women
of the world u remedy for their pc
culiar ills, more potent and ctiica-
cious than any combination ofdrugs.
Lydia +. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound is now recognized as the
standard remedy for woman's ills.
Mrs. Bertha Muff, of GIG NC. st.,
Louisiana, Mo-, writes:
complete restoration 10 nchlth
means 30 much to me that for the sake
of other suffering IN I am willing
to make my troubles public.
"For twelve years ] had been suffer-
ing with the worst forms OF female ills.
During that time / had eleven different
physicians without help. No tongue
can tell what | suffered, and at times /
| could hardly walk. About two years
ago l wrote Mrs. Pinkham for advice.
l followed it, and can truly say that
Lydia Il. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound and Mrs. P~inkham's advice re-
stored health and strength. 1t Is
worth mountains Of gold to suffering
women"
What Lydia T.. Pinkham'B Vcgc-

Frances Hodgson Burnetts new "Queen silver-Bell" story, ''The Spring Cleaning" commences in the Decem- ber St. Nicholas. And this is the charming way 1t begins;
 It is just the hundreds and thous- Ands of things I have to do for people like the Racketty-Packetty House dolls and Winnie and the Rocks, and the Cozy Lion that makes it impossible for me to attend to my literary work. Of course nothing ever would ket told if didn't tell 1t. and how is a person to find time for sto- ries when she works seventy five hours day. You may say that there are not seventysfive hours in a day, but know better. work seventy-five hours every day. whether they are there or not.
 Of course you don't understand what I mean by my spring cleaning. That le because you know next to nothing about fairy ways. I suppose you think that spring comes just because April comes and you imagine have nothing to do with 1t. There's where you are mistaken. April might come and stay for a year and nothing would happen if I did not see things going. In the autumn I put everything to bed and In the spring and my green workers waken everything up-and q nice time we have of 1t. After 1t is aiI-over my green workers are so tired I let them go to sleep for a month.
