The annual election OF officers will be
smoker.
The object is to smoke every member
out in attendance and in voting array.
The Chamber of Commerce cannot go
ahead without officers, OF course no
one expects it to, for it will have good
officers during the coming year just as
it has had during past years, But who
will they hey That is the question, aud
the first thing on the tapis is the elee.
tion OF these officers.
The better the citizens do their work
at the annual election next Monday,
January 9th. it follows that better will
be the work the Chamber will thereafter
do during the remainder OF the year,
The announcement OF the annual
meeting, election and smoker has been
sent out in the following letter to all
the members
"The annual meeting and election OF
officers OF the Chamber of Commerce
will take place Monday night. January
9th, the meeting beginning at 7;s0
o'clock. The annual reports will first
be heard and then the election OF Off
GERS will be held. after which there will
be smoker.
Every member is urgently requested
to be present and discharge his duty on
this occasion. It is especially desired
that the meeting shall be open and free
and that everyone present shall express
his opinions fully on any matter that
may come up. It would be well to say
yes when you mean yes and no when
YOU mean no. so that there may be the
best understanding concerning the Will
of the members about the work for the
present year
"The secretary would appreciate it If
YOU would write any suggestions you
NAV have on slip of paper and enclose
it in an envelope and send it to hlm.

A Seaside Tragedy

A Seaside Tragedy
Early yesterday morning the remains
OF well known workingman OF Sea.
side, were found floating face downward
in the Necanicum river just back OF the
Hotel Maguin, and about forty feet
from where the man had a shack OF his
own. His name was Henry X. Shanness,
and he was carpenter by trade and a
good workman when he was sober, but
was badly given to liquor as general
thing, and as it later proved, this fail.
ing contributed to his death.
Word was sent to County Coroner w.
G. A. Pohl, who went down to the coast
city on the noon express and immediate
ly summoned coroner's jury to in.
qure into the circumstances OF the
death. After hearing all the testimony
that would throw any light on the sub
iect, Coroner Pohl sent to the record a
verdict of accidental death, the testi.
money showing that Shannes had been
drinking for sometime past, had been
missed for three days, and the absence
of all signs Of violence contributing to
the conclusion.
It seems the mans home was In Ann
Arbor, Michigan. and that he has re-
latives there; and to them Coroner
Pohl has wired for instruction as to
what shall be done with the body. The
coroner remained over in Seaside last
evening and will be up this morning
with the remains If an order Is receiv-
ed requiring its shipment to his old
home; and in default thereof, he will
order the interment to be made there.
shanness had property in Kansas,
something like l52 acres of land upon
which he held tax-receipt upon
stated valuation of $780,, and he had
small amount of money.
