Water Question Up Again.
At the September meeting of the
board a petition containing the names
of about 1870 electors, exclusive of
women, corporations and non-voters,
was presented, praying that the com
missioners call a special election for
the purpose of bonding the town to
erect a new water plant. After a
lengthy discussion the matter was
laid over until this meeting.
Yesterday counter petition contain
ing the names of 81 of the signers of
the other petition was presented,
which states, in effect that petitioners
signed the first document under a mis-
apprehension of the facts; that they
were only interested in the town ac-
quiring an unlimited supply of pure
water preferably by purchasing the ex-
listing water plant and requested that
their names be stricken from the first
petition.
hot nf
last month, was also presented to the
hoard, signed by 45 names This was
no doubt intended to reinforce the
first petition, but whether or not the
board will add the AS names to the
1870 contained in the first petition re-
mains to be seen.
The law passed last winter provides
that the commissioners SHALL upon pc
tition of 20 per cent of the qualified
voters, call special election to vote
upon the question of bonding town
for the purpose of constructing or ae-
quiring by purchase water and light
systems At the election last fall 521
votes were east for governor in this
precinct. Twenty per cent of this num-
Der would amount to l04. 1t is there.
fore evident that if the board takes
the original petition of l30 names,
without reference to the second of 40
names, and deducts the 81 who ask to
Withdraw, there will remain but 10, or
e. short of the required number.

The Country Newspaper"

A grouchy subscriber complained to
an editor in neighboring town because
he would not reduce of paper, say
ing he could get q big daily paper al
most as cheap. This led the editor to
grow sentimental, and he moralized
thus:
'Tis thing of sentiment, this lit
tie old country newspaper. When per-
chance disgrace paints the scarlet let
ter on the family circle, it lists to the
pleadings Of the broken heart and whis-
pers not of them. When it does you
kindly favor you come in and beg few
extra copies, but when it steps on your
toes you drop around to lick the editor.
Without your dinky country paper your
towns and hamlets would be like the
man who threw kisses at q girl in the
dark. -he knew it, but nobody else did.
You might imagine you wefesalive, but
other people would have to buy rail-
road ticket and come out and see for
themselves. Thus ends the brief tale
of the blooming old thing that isn't
worth four cents week.

WALTER B. SEIFERT

at II o'clock Of typhoid fever complica-
tions, after an illness Of not quite
three weeks. He arrived at his home
from Newberry on Monday, September

teen months.
Last Spring Mr.. Seifert received an

Northern Forest Protective Associa-
ton and was located at Watersmeet,
being transferred from there t. New
berry. Walter was also member Of
the Y. M. C. A. Of Munising and one
of its most faithful members.
The announcement of death was re-
ceived with deep regret and sorrow
through this part of the peninsula,
where he was well known, and the pee-
pie of L'Anse all mourn with Mr.. and
Mrs. Seifert in the loss of their only
son and child.
The funeral was held yesterday at 2
p. m. from the home Of the deceased,

BULLETIN
Lansing, Oct. II, 1911

Lansing. Oct. IL, 1911
The Asath rate in Michigan for Aug.
this year was relatively low. It was
only l2 per thousand. while last year
August gave 16.9 per thousand. That
meaas . cut Of close TO twenty-five per
,centof the. death rate.
In August. 1910. '746 babies under
tive years Of age died of diarBhoeal
enteritis, in Michigan; in August, 1911.
only8S8. That is . cut Of close to 90
percent in absolute numbers. and when
the increase in population is taken into
account it makes the record still more
favorable. The great saving of lives
among infants il what contributed
most toward the low death rste from
Ill causes. BY reasoning from the re-
'htion which the August rates bore to
the Annual rate for 1911 should be
but about IL per thousand.
Now it is possible to bring it to that
low rate, If during the next three
months as much active interest will be
taken in regard to prevention Of epi-
denies as was taken this summer to
sprevent infantile diarrhoeas-
Wholesale epidemics Of Whooping-
cough. Measles. Scarlet Fever and
.Diphtheria are unnecessary and should
be charged against carelessness.
Pneumonia will claim a great many
people this fall and winter. Far too
smany of these cases will be unneces-
asary. Keep the school children's feet
warm and dry, prevent Whooping-
cough and Measles epedesiics and the
great bulk of Pneumonia cases among
children will not occur.
The record for the summer is too
good to let it be Offset by results Of
-thoughtlessness this winter. If there
are unrestrained cases of Whooping
cough or Measles in your neighborhood,
report the matter to your iscal Board
<of Health. Expect your health officer
ITO protect you as the law requires. On
the other hand don't expect your health
officer to restrict such cases,if he does
mot know they exist. The law requires
sphysicians and househoiders to report
these cases.
Let the matter of Public Health have
first consideration.
Very truly yours,
Robert l. Dixon, M. D..
Secretary.

NEW YORK HAS PLAY
CENSOR IN POLICEMAN

New York, Jan. 13.-Sergeant G.
H. Quackenbos of the bureau of in
formation at police headquarters is
a poet. You may read his "Ode to
the New Year" and be convinced. AL
SO the sergeant plays the violin, and
has raised family of eight chill
dren. AS minor accomplishment
he speaks six aboriginal tongues, al
SO Latin, French and Italian; uses
his fingers dexterously in the deaf
and dumb language, is a graduate
physician, and the hero of a dozen
thrilling runaway rescues.
But not these talents have turned
the eyes of the world upon the YER
satile Sergeant Quackenbos. These
are but the lesser lights hid beneath
the bushel of his brass buttons. 1t
is as dramatic critic the sergeant
shines with splendor that illumin-
ates the police headquarters, the
mayors office, and the production of
La Samaratine."
In the version of LA Samaratine"
in which Sarah Bernhardt's Christ
was represented by an actor for the
first time upon any stage in this
country. Police Commissioner Crop
sey was uncertain of the propriety Of
such representation. Sergeant
Quackenbos was therefore detailed
by him to see the play and submit
his criticism of it to Mayor Gaynor.
He favored the play, notwithstand-
ing the objections of many men of
note. His views have been widely
copied by many English papers.
