company, during a period of twelve years,
had paid so, 100000 in duties on tin plate
and afterwards. upon making il into oil
cans for export, had received that vast

Amendments Ditehed.

A deluge of proposed amendments came
from Republicans and Democrats, while
with automatic regularity, Mr.. Aldrich
caused them TO be laid on the table. 1t
appeared that senator's were practically
fighting over in the senate all of the is
sues that had been contested while the
bill was in committee Of the whole.
Efforts Of senators were successful in
obtaining increases Of duty on salicylic
acid from TO 10 cents a pound; on steel
sheets from tWO-tenths to thTee-tenths of
one cent a pound, and a duty of 30 per
cent al valOrem on nickel sheet stripes
ard wire. Arsenic was taken from the
free list and a duty of 2 cents a pound
was placed upon It.
Senator BTistOW's amendment TO elimi-
nate the color standard in the sugar
schedule was laid on the table, after he
had spoken in its advocacy.
duty Of 21z cents a pound was placed
on licorice; on orange oil. rate Of %
per cent ad valorem, and on lime the
present rate Of 8 cents per 100 pounds was
doubled.
Afr. Aldrich said that he had no doubt
that the appropriations ecessary for the
tariff commission provided for by the bill
would be made. Mr.. Beverage expressed
great pleasure over this statement, and
Mr.. I.aFOllette added that he intended 10
rivet down that assurance, as well as to
strengthen the tariff commission provi-
sion generally.

Fireman Becomes Benedict.

Following our announcement in last
weeks issue, on Monday, at the home
of Mr.. and Mrs. Nathan Pruner, in
Hancock, occurred the marriage of Miss
Lillian Philput to Max Kroiick, of this
village.
The wedding was quiet one, only
the immediate friends and relatives Of
the contracting parties being present.
The bride was given away by her
uncle, Nathan Pruner, and the cere-
mony performed by Rev. J. E. Curzon,
pastor of the Trinity Episcopal church.
The home was prettily decorated with
ferns, roses and carnations. Following
the ceremony a dainty luncheon was
served.
The bride wore a travelling suit of
military blue chiffon broadcloth and a
white picture hat, while the groom was
dressed in conventional black.
Mrs. Krolick was numbered among
the best known and most estimable
young ladies in Hancock and was blest
with host of friends, while to us the
groom needs no introduction, as he has
always maintained an equal standing in
this community as that of the bride in
her copper country home.
Upon their return from a wedding
trip to Duluth, Chicago and other points
they will come to L'Anse, where they
will reside, occupying rooms on the sec
ond floor of the comfortable home of
the groom's mother.
Mr.. Krolck is the popular fireman on
engine No. S07 of the South Shore
forces.

Michisa.nne Has Fire.

Last Saturday morning the Wallace
building, in the heart of the business
district of Michigamme, was completely
destroyed by fire at O'Clock while the
worst blizzard of the winter ragged fur
iously, driving sparks and brands to ad-
joinging buildings and making it diff
ficult to fight the flames, The building
owned by William Block, adjoining the
Wallace building on the east, was
scorched by the flames, but efficient
work by the firemen prevented the
blaze from spreading. The fire started
in one of the rear rooms on the first
floor, but its origin is mystery, as
no one had been in the building after
10 o'clock that night.
The building was a two-story frame
structure, the first floor of which was
occupied by the Pioneer Gymnastic
club on one side and by E. G.. Muck as
store room on the other. The equip.
ment of the athletic club, valued al
about S175, was total loss. A wagon
belonging to MIR. Muck was burned and
quantity of wrapping paper, also
household goods owned by M. ID. Kirk,
which were stored in Mr.. Muck's room.
No insurance was carried on either side
the building or its contents, and the
loss is estimated at from $1,000 to
81, 200.
