Considerable surprise was occasioned
in this village Tuesday morning follow
ing the general closing Of business
places on Washington's birthday, when
all but one merchant opened doors for
the resumption Of trade. g,yf
To the great wonderment Of all, the
well known dry goods and clothing es-
tablishment Of d. Levitan failed to do
as had been its custom for years, and it
was not long before the truth was
known: that the store had been closed
pursuant to an order from the u. 8;
Dist. Court issued on the filipg Of pc
tition for bankruptcy. y.~
On the above stated ngg1ln& py&
Deputy Marshal MoaAIs< Ard Louis
Grabower, Of Marquette, the latter IN
the capacity Of receheE, curved IN
town and began ,dntis3 pertaining to
their official positions. ~
1t is stated that this action is brought
about through the general slump in bus
mess the past year and the fact that q
few of Mr.. Levitan's creditors were
crowding him.
That some adjustment Of matters
may be made, is conceded not at all
improbable by those who are acquaint-
ed with the situation, but it will un-
doubtedly not be taken up until the
hearing, which we are Informed is to
be had in the u. S. Circuit Court at
Marquette, on or about March 10th.
To the people Of this vicinity this
crash in our business circle comes with
feeling of deepest regret as Mr.. Lew
itan had been considered one of the
most responsible and progressive busi-
nessmen in this community.

Senator Borah to Assist

Washington, March 18th.
young republicans of the senate arr
to be recognized in the reorganiza
ton of the senate az is evidenced by
the fact that three of them, Senator
Borah, Dixon Of Montana and On
tbs of Kansas were today appointen
members of the committee on COM
mittces. This committee will max.
all the COMMITTEES assignments for
the Sixty first congress, as well a.
assign all committee chairmanshlps.
1t therefore controls the reorganiza
ton of the senate. Seldom are
senators of but two years service
appointed to membership on this
important committee.
The assignment of committee pla-
ces has hardly begun, and it is not
vet known where Senators Hey burn
and Borah will land. Senator Hey
burn is a candidate for finance, ap
preparation, judiciary aud Interstate
commerce; Senator Borah's prefer
ences are not known. AS the va

have beer filled, it is certain thai

Senator Hepburn will not get on the
