LAKE LINDEN CREAMERY
CLOSED FOR The WINTER

The Lake Linden creamery company
has closed it's local plant for the win
ter after very successful season.
Last spring it was decided to keep the
plant running until the early part of
December, but the farmers failed to
provide for a long season and II was
considered advisable to close the place
now. The business will be operated
on a more extensive scale next year.
The business this year eclipsed that
of last summer and many of the farm
ers realized good receipts from the
sale of their milk and cream. One
farmer alone received no less than $500
this season. While the business trans
acted this season has not made big
profits for the investors II is a source
of satisfaction TO realize that the farm
ers are becoming interested and that
the prospects for another summer are
brighter than they were this year.
Many of those who contributed to
the supply of the creamery this sum-
mer have decided to purchase more
cows next spring.
During this summer the company has
added to its machinery which improve
ment decreased the profit.

The partridge was too speedy Of wing,

flew straight for the village. after
attempting to elude its pursuer. think
ing. perhaps, that In the habitation OF
man there was protection from its
merciless foe.
The two birds flew down Main
street In front of the stores and peo-
pie on the street, but the hawk was
so engrossed In the pursuit Of It's
prey that the presence Of men did not
brighten 1t off. The partridge flew
about the buildings on Main street and
then to the residence section.
II was rapidly firing from its long
fight, and as the hawk. which was
stronger Of wing. seemed about to
clutch II In its talons the partridge
attempted to fly in the window of A.
J. Whites residence, but the window
was closed and the bird struck the
glass with force enough to break its
neck and shatter the pane in many
pieces.
The crashing glass frightened the
hawk and It quickly few off, evinc-
ing desire, however. to take the
dead body Of the partridge with IT.

AN ACTRESS ATHLETE.
Remarkable Strength of Miss Moran in
Coming Attraction Here.

The advance seat sale at the Ker-
redge hardware store opened this
morning for the appearance of the
Gentleman from Mississippi" COM
pany which plays an engagement at
the Kerredge theater Thursday even
ing. There was big demand for tick
cts which presages a packed house.
The company is one of the best that
has ever visited the copper country
as it contains, besides Burr Mcintosh,
all the members of the cast which pre-
scented the piece for so long a run in
Chicago.
Those who have seen the perform
ance of Miss Mary Moran. the leading
lady of the company, can hardly real
lie that the slender supple figure of
that clever actress is as 1.-the and
strong as whalebone, from continual
and systematic exercise.
Rowing is Miss Moran's favorite
sport. She maintains that IL is the
ideal exercise for the development of
every muscle and making them supple
and quick. When her professional du-
ties and the weather permit, Miss
Moran betakes herself to the nearest
river or lake and starting in gradually,
increases her pace until at the end of
an hour she is sufficiently fatigued to
rest. A brisk walk follows, and she
is ready for matinee or horse back
ride about the country.
Miss Moran's rowing expeditions
have several times almost cost her
dearly One time on the Hudson river
she was almost swept by the tide un-
der the paddles of huge steamer. and
in Louisville, Kentucky, a couple OF
years ago she was almost taken over
the falls. The Ohio was In food and
Miss Moran's boat was caught by the
current and carried swiftly along. de-
spite the efforts of the fair athlete to
bring It ashore. The life-guards for
tunately saw her predlcament and aft
er a desperate struggle with the angry
waters, brought her safely to land.

spIendIdly Led Balloons Ate the Crops
In Nigeria So Fast Natives
Gave Up Farming.

In many parts Of Nigeria, and es
pecially among the hill regions of the
northern provinces, balloons are one
of the greatest plaques to the farmer
and source of menace to property
and even to life. A protectorate officer
while engaged In business In a noun

queen that her people could not con.
tinue their farming owing to the raids
Of balloons.
During the absence OF the men a
few weeks previously these beasts
had actually come into the heart of
the village and destroyed the crops,
according to the Wide World Maya

dread Of them and continually fear for
the safety OF their children.

lately he himself shot two enormous
brutes who were grinning at him from
the cliffs. They utter a nerve shatter-

Retrenchment Proposed.
DIR. Gallen moved that the street
commissioner be instructed to reduce
the expense of street work from now
on, stating that the street fund was
running low. Alderman Hosking sug-
gested that 1t would be poor policy to
lay off men just now. when there still
remains considerable grading work to
be done on Summit and Franklin
streets, in order to leave those thor
oughfares in passable shape for the
winter. The sidewalk on Franklin
street is a couple of feet below the
roadway in some places and grading is
imperative. Alderman Gallen's motion
was carried.

Report on Dock Matter.
City Engineer Craig presented re-
port regarding the condition OF the
dock at the foot of Tezcuco street,

the council Mr.. Craig stated that ne
had found the stringers in bad shape
and in need of repairs. portion OF
the dock might be filled in, leaving an
area of about 40 by 80 feet to be re-
constructed. The sewer terminating
at this point should be extended about
fifty feet into the lake as IL carried
down sand and silt, depositing 1t in
front Of the dock. The cost. he had
roughly estimated. would be from $500
to $500. including the hlling.
Runners for Chemical.
Alderman Francis. chairman of the
CITY han committee. requested the pur-
chase OF runners and drop harness for
the new chemical engine, which was
allowed. He also recommended the
acceptance OF the bid of John Fish of
chassell for furnishing hay and oats
for the city hall stables.
Alderman Gallen asked for couple
Of lights on Mason avenue, to be plac:,
ed where they would be most advan-
tageous.
An application was received rom
Herman Joffee for permit to build an
extension In the rear OF his premises
on Quincy street. which was granted
provided the plans comply with tbe
fire ordinances.
The mayor appointed the fire and
water committee as a committee OF
three TO confer with the board of pub
lie works regarding the purchase OF a
new pump, and after investigating, TO
make a report to the council.
