The Chicago hearing didn't amount
to much. Numerous witnesses testified
to the usefulness. sobriety and well
behavior OF the state troops and some
testimony was taken in regard to the
Meyer deportation. A detective in
the case told the names of several
witnesses that appeared before the
grand jury and testified as to seeing
the mob escort Meyer to the station
and for time it was thought that
the entire testimony before the grand
jury would be made public.
Pres. Meyer OF the Western Fedora
ton took the stand Tuesday and told
of his deportation from the copper
country. His version didn't materially
differ from that already given out.
He failed to identify anyone.

FIND BODY ON RAILWAY TRACKS
The mangled body OF an unidentified
man was found on the Chicago 81
Northwestern tracks near the old
Palatka station last Saturday morning
by two lumberJacks. The body was
cut 10 pieces. both legs were cut off
and the face so dishgured that identi-
tication from appearance would be i'm
possible and there was nothing found
about his clothing TO tell who he
might have Deen. He was apparently
a foreigner and was roughly dressed.
The body was buried in Stambaugh
cemtery by order OF Coroner Hamilton.
IL Is supposed that the man was
stealing ride on freight or ore train
and fell off during the night. Marks
of blood along the track showed that
his body had been dragged quite dis
lance before IL was caught by the
wheels and chopped to pieces.

The congressional inquiry into the

had been busy on the job for about
month departed for Chicago where a
short session was held for the purpose
OF listening to rebuttal evidence in the
charges against the state militia and
to allow Pres. Meyer OF the Western

II was announced that Meyer would
appear before the committee at Houg

but II he ever had any inclination of
the kind he changed his mind, pro-
badly for the reason that there is an
indictment standing out against him
in the Houghton county circuit, said
indictment having been issued by the
grand jury.
Evidently Mr. Meyer don't propose
TO show up at Houghton for some
time at least and 20 accommodate him
his testimony was taken at Chicago
last Tuesday.
The conclusion of the testimony was
hastened by Mr.. Rees, attorney for
the mining companies who said that

to gambling. which we are informed
is being carried on in our midst TO an
alarming extent. We are informed
that there are no less than twelve to

IL is stated that young man, with
a family on his hands to support, who
had worked all winter, came to town a

Not only was he plucked of his hard

Ticket Given That ApnaIation Elected at
Iron River
Crystal Falls people have been quite
interested in the outcome of the VII
lage election at Iron River this week
because OF the suddenness of the oppo-
sition and the heroeness of the fight.
The returns were eagerly sought for
last Tuesday morning and from Prose
cutting Attorney Waffen we succeeded
in getting a complete list OF the re.
turns.
The portion of the article quoted
from the Reporter in the Iron River
department, shows how fierce the fight
was in our west side town and some
of the residents from that village
whom we met during the week, were
quite sure that the results of the con
test would be felt for some time.
There were old ballots cast, showing
that all of the electors were out in
force. Or that number Kelly got 2ls
and CURT 22o for president. Frank
Cossett got 1874 votes to Frank Smart's
$3.50. Tim Mahon the only man on the
Kelly ticket elected. received 234 votes
against 1875 for Zygmunt zyskowsky.
Peter Helgemo got 1876 votes for asses
sor against 1853 for Arthur Ames.
For trustees McHale got lG4. Dave
Youngs 2l6 and Jas. Long 1870 on the
Kelly ticket while Ed. Bies got 242,
Leon Johns s93 and Merwyn Hayes
227.
The Socialists had ticket but they
cut little figure their vote running %
excepting on Fred Hartley who got SO
votes for trustee. Taken as a whole
the election was the Iivliest of the
many lively contests held on the west
side.

HISTORY OF "A WONDERFUL SALE

inst before the end of the Holiday season we
closed the deal for the purchase outright Tor csa
of. the entire f. w. Banner Co., business cIud-
inc stock of high grade Pianos and Flayefs, Tue
most famous instruments in the world Inc PuI-
chase brought US the agency Tor the great 2sel.
way Piano. always sold at one price, and for the
K1akauer Piano, one OF the most popular ~ tills
part of the country. .
There were several hundred instruments IN
all and the disposition Of this stock was mighty
serious matter.
The Holiday season was nearly past and Just
how many people were yet open to the purchase OF
Pianos and Players we could not tell.
But we did not dare to throw away such
chance as this purchase offered. We bought ac-
counts and real estate including the most beautl-
FIJI Piano store in the entire country, and the
amount involved in the whole transaction was SO
low that we knew could offer the stock Tor SAFE
at positively unheard OF, almost unbeheVaple
prices The deal was closed and the sale started.
This sale in Wheeling Of the +. w. Banner 90.
is now history, and will be notable for generatoh
as the most marvellous success in the piano nela
Nothing equal to it has ever been known. IL mas
smashed all records.
Nov we. propose to spread its benefits to our
branch store cites. We begin with Clarksburg.
We realize that extra inducements Will be re-
CURED We not only offer the same splendid
choice and some additions from our own stocks,
but we have Systematically gone over the already
reduced prices and all along the line have sharply
cut them still further
This will be sale positively without Prec-
edent in this city. We guarantee no equal oppof-
I tu11ities were ever offered.
This great Banner purchase and the subse-
quent sale of the Banner stock has become nota-
Die event in the history Of the trade. There have
been few if any purchases of one piano house by
another of equal magnitude This event is all the
more notable because the house bought out was the
oldest house in the state and of the Oldest and
most highly respected in the entire country. The
younger and stronger house, with more 2ggresslye
more modern methods, naturally forges TO the
afront. The people we serve make our success pos
ible, and our superior service is what has gained
for us that good will and patronage winch has en-
abed US to absorb our principal competitors III our
great field.

Educated Sea Lions.

The Sparks world famous shows,
billed to exhibit here Friday, July 10,
will present this year for their pat
rons' appreciation the largest and
without doubt the most wonderful
herd of performing seals and sea
lions ever exhibited in America. These
truly wonderful animals perform
seemingly impossible feats, and do
them with the ease and grace only as
sumed by human performers. They
have been trained to walk tight
rope while skillfully balancing an
open umbrella on the tips of their
noses. They climb ladders while
balancing large rubber balls, tossing
them from one to the other with the
greatest skill. They ride bareback
on galloping horses while whirling
brands Of fire, juggling rubber balls
and other articles. The performance
Of these remarkable sea animals is
truly a sensation and the ease and
quickness with which they obey every
command Of Capt. Tieba their train
er, leaves little doubt but what they
enjoy giving the performance fully as
much as the audience enjoy seeing it..
Some idea of the expense incurred in
presenting this act to the public can
be obtained from the statement that
these animals must be fed on live
| fish which must necessarily be Of the
salt variety, hence must come shipped
alive from either the Atlantic or Pa
cific ocean. It costs from five to ten
dollars each per day to board these
animals, varying from either ocean.
