an adjoining room. Miss Nygren was
lighting the gasoline stove when il ex-
ploded throwing flames all over the
room. Fortunately she was not caught
by the flames. She ran quickly To the
room where the baby was and. seizing
il. she ran into the street and gave the
alarm.

SETTLESCOUNT INFAvoR or WAFFEN
BY THREE VOTES
RIIzE ALSO WINS OUT LATER
Count OF fiematte Township Didn't
Take Place So Result Isn't
Changed.

Judge % Brien of Houghton county
came TO Crystal Falls last Saturday
and sat in bearing of the ballot review
cases brought before the court on man
damus proceedings by the ATTORNEYS for
the contending factions.
The FIRST case heard was that OF the
mandamus brought by Waffen TO COM
pei the county canvassers to take the
returns as made by the election inspec
tors from Mansfield and Hematite
townships Instead of the count as made
by the canvassing board.
The reasons assigned we've that a
corner of the ballot box in the Mans
field precinct was bent SO that a ballot
might have been slipped between it
and the box An issue of fact was
raised so the box was brought in and
the election board sworn as TO the con-
dition of the box Tne box showed a
slight bend at the center by which one
corner might be raised 80 that a ballot
might be slipped IN between the cover
and the box The election board and
the canvassing board swore to that but
they all agreed that the ballot would
have to be folded very small and just
right. Il was also agreed by all at the
contents Of the box showed that moth
ing OF the kind had transpired that
the ballots were tied in two bundles
and that no loose ballots appeared in
the box.
In the Mansfield case the complain
ants tried 10 prove that the fact that
the seal and key were in the possession
of the same inspector Emil Guehse-
had been brought to the attention Of
the canvassing board before the box
was opened They dian Z succeed in
convincing the court that they had
shown that fact fully as in the decision
rendered later, Judge O'Brien granted
the mandamus in the case OF Mansfield
but refused il in the Hematte case 40
that the vote stood three to Waffen'
good by the decision.
In the matter of Rite vs Abbott,
mandamus had been asked for by Ritze
70 compel the canyassing board TO take
the returns of the election inspectors
in iron River instead Of that made 10y
the canvassiug board.
In his reply Mr. Abbott set mp the
fact Of the gross Irregularities that
took place az the Iron River primary
where 100 non-enrolled persons voted.
There was no disposition on the part
Of the judge to give this fact any con.
sideration and he decided In favor Of
Mr. Rite without hesitancy.
This left Mr.. Abbott II votes to the
bad that is including the decision to
take the election board : count in
Mansfield and when the canvassing
board re convened Mr.. Abbott asked
for recount of the ballots in the
Hematite box. The board ordered tha
box brought IN and set Thursday last
the day for the hearing.
When the time came Tor the resum
ption OF work, Mr.. Abbott notified the
canvassers that he would Withdraw mis-
petition and 40 the count ended and
certificates were Immediately issued 70

INJECTED RELIGIOUS AND
NATIONALITY ISSUES
Man Seeking Congressional Nomination
Said % Have Been the Cause

Said % Have Been the Cause
In another column we reproduce an
item from the Marquette Chronicle in
which the political gymnastics of w.
}. Mcdonald. the fellow who is aspir
ing TO congress on the Bull Moose tick.
ct from this district are detailed.
Mr. Mcdonald was first democra al
and a loud mouthed. silver crazed one
at that. When he recognized that there
was nothing TO expect from that party
IN this section he desertvd the boys
who were democrats from principle
and entered the republican fold. His
entry into the republicanism was 70
get the office of prosecuting attorney
in Keweenaw county and when he had
got all there was to be cot oct OF that
county he hiked over to Houghton and
got elected prosecuting attorney of that
county
Last year when circuit Judge was
TO be chosen in Houghton county he
succeeded in getting the nomination
on the republican ticket.
A gentleman tand democrat) who
lives at Hancock and is conversant
with political conditions IN Houghton
county detailed to us about year ago
some Of the inside workings of that
campaign for circuit Judge
Houghton county is at the present
time divided on nationalities and reli
gious lines one of the worst conditions
that can come to any county or com
munity. The gentleman in question
detailed how it was that the division
was brought about during the CANVASS
for circuit Judge in that county and
he laid at Mr.. Mcdonald door the
primary cause OF the unnatural condi
tion.
Opposed 10 Mr. Mcdonald in the
primaries was Oscar Larson one OF the
most prominent Firms in the upper
peninsula and against whom a coali
tion Of the other nationalities was con
trived so that Mcdonald won ont in
the nomination.
Opposing Mr.. Mcdonald in the cleo
tion was p. FL. O'Brien and the coali
tion that was attempted against him
can easily be figured ont but il failed
as all such vicious schemes ought TO
fail.
Mr.. Mcdonald is now Bull Mooser
he has worked the Cld parties until
there is not another teat 10 suck. He
has been repudiated twice within two
years; once by the electors of the cop
per country and again by his own
party at the primary. He has no more
TO expect from them and so his great
love OF the common people (which the
Chronicle thinRs-and thinks correctly
begins and ends in q meal ticket has
induced this great hearted gentleman
TO undertake congressional campai gn
in their behalf II he can fool enough
people this time, as he has done in the
past, he may put one over but If the
real Bull Moosers, those who are Moos-
ers from principle and not from Office
holding mania. get as wise TO him AZ his
own people In the copper country are
his votes will he few and far between

SIMS TALKED OF
 WORLD WIDE WAR
Struggle Between Labor and Capital Existed During Bible Times And
 Ruined Ancient Cities.

in the time of Babylon. One p.
 cent of Persia owned all the land
 When Rome fell eighteen hundre, men owned all the known world
 In 1900 statistics showed that tw, per cent of our population owned sevcn-tenths of our entire wealth
 And in 1910 it Is estimated that thi, two per cent of our population now own ninc-tcn,hs of the nation, wealth.
 Tn the face of these facts is i, any wonder that the capitalist and the laborers are living in war reIa. tionsI The education of -,he masses will not redeem the situation Egypt Babylon and Greece were highly cultured but they all went down No political law can cement selfish men in their brotherhood. No method of reform that depends on education only and does not change the selfish heart of man has any element of durability in u. Change of systems will not remove the evil. lt takes more than political laws io beget love and bencvolence in human hearts"
 "In James we have correct view of the labor question as ii exists today This prophecy tells that these are the last days and that the coming of the Lord draweth nigh. And this fact Is the great and only remedy for these existing evils, All wrongs will be made right when Jesus comes But be- tween us and that day let us lay aside all malicious feeling. accept his word and prepare for the judg- ments that will soon be visited upon the nations of the earth for their apostasy from the way God mapped out for them to go. Let us choose that wisdom that will cause us to give our greatest attention to that which is of the grca,es, importance eternal salvation. Let us cndeavor to ascertain from Gods word the significant meaning of these times. Let us fall in line with Gods pur- poses Let us be in harmony with Gods way and associate ourselves with Him in proclaiming the glad message of the soon coming of King Jesus
 Then the poor in Him will have their rights. and have them for eternity Therefore all Christians can well afford to patiently wait. committing their cases to Him who judgcih righ,oously."
