A report comes from the lower PEN
insula that the peach crop is exception

Sweeder Barrett, of Calumet, who
failed to make balloon ascensions at
Negaunee on the 4th and 9Th, Wednes-
day made another attempt to go up.
The effort was not much of success,
for while the gas bag did sail bit, the
aeronaut was left behind. The new
balloon that arrived a few weeks ago,
and which was billed at $72, was not
taken out of of the freight house, as
the aeronaut failed to raise that sum.
The old bag, which was patched up
again, was the one used in yesterdays
exhibition. The ascension was made
Wednesday. Kissing his wife goodb y,
Barrett seated himself on the bars of
his parachute, the balloon having final
ly been inflated, and gave the signal to
'let her 60" The bag rose into the
air about $50 feet, but the aeronaut re-
mained on the ground-the ropes at
tached to the parachute had parted.
The balloon sailed about two blocks,
coming down on the building next west

nearly being victim of asphyxiation
at the Breiting House Sunday night,
asst. After the young man had fully
recovered he told what he had done.
He retired about II p. m. and turned
lown the gas, leaving the jet partially
opened. He was restless and could no

The gas. He said that he had been ac-
,ustomed to having candles and lamps
in his bedroom and the thought that gas
would continue to escape did not occurr
to him. DIR. Andrus said that the
Young man possessed an unusually
strong constitution or he would not
have lived; as both lungs were COM
oletely filled with gas. When found
lis lips were purple, and he had every
appearance of being dead man. The
,dor of gas was detected by one of the
chamber maids, who called the Office
BOY. The door was locked but the boy
obtained entrance through the transom.

Of small pox, excepting cases requiring

, for fumigations. The matter was TAX
en- up by the Ontonagon County Medic
!, al Society and Drs. Swinton and Hanna
were appointed as committee to wait
upon the board and present their side
, of the issue. This was done Wednes-
day. Both doctors discussed the mat

the terms fixed by the board were mad

asked that price Of $35 be allowed
for diphtheria and scarlet fever and SIS
, per day for caring for smallpox. The
