Report comes from Boyne Falls that
the camps of the Cobbs & Mitchell
Lumber Co., near that place, are now
quarantined, smallpox having Infested
the camp. A pest house was. built
near .the camps which contains
twenty-three of the employes. The
company has employed the best phy
Bicians to attend the sick. No deaths
are as yet reported. Several of the
men attempted to leave the camp but
were stopped by officers and doctors.
All the men employed in the camp
have been vaccinated.
Wm, Aberbuch, optician, of Saginaw, was arrested Friday for violation
of the ordinance, which has been pro
nounced unconstitutional by several
leading attorneys, and fined $5 and
costs, amounting to something over
$11, He paid the fine under protest
and will doubtless carry the case to
the higher courts where the validity
of the ordinance will be ascertained.
We believe every city ordinance
should be either enforced or annulled,
and while we believe this particular
ordinance unconstitutional, it" should
be enforced until the higher courts
declare it to be so.
Last September officers of Osceola
county were seeking the arrest for
larceny of one Lee Carpenter when he
shot .one of them who died within a
week. Carpenter escaped and has
been at large since until last Saturday.
Sheriff Edgett of Osceola has besn
skirmishing around for some time and
last week thought he located his man
near Gladwin. He evaded the Officers
here, but later was seen by a posse of
them armed with Winchesters and revolvers near Meredltn. They Were
within four rods of him when he was
ordered to halt and throw up hl3
arms. Jumping from the sleigh on
which he was riding he pulled a thirty-
eight Coltz revolver, but the two Winchesters and several revolvers staring
him in the face he concluded to surrender which he accordingly did. He
was lodged in the Glare county jail and
Monday was transferred, to Bersey.
He told Sheriff Updergraff that had it
not been for those long range Winchesters he would have taken his chances
of escaping. Besides the revolvers
Carpenter carried a four and'one-half
inch dirk. He's a bad character and
after the next term of circuit court
will probably be numbered among the
"lifers" at Jackson.

cots, Mr. and Mrs, J. A, Russell,
near Oak Grove last Wednesday afternoon, occurred the marriage of
Mr. R. A. Carlson and Miss Minnie
Russell, Rev. J. B. Gass of trie M. E.

and are now living in the Egbert
house just north of the citv hall.

At the home of Mrs, Sawtell on east
Fourth street Saturday evening, February 16, the nuptial knot was tied between Mr. Wm. K. Russell and Miss-
Sarah Jane Mcintosh, both Of Clare,
Rev, M, Knowles of the Congregational church officiating.
Like many of the recent weddings,
this was somewhat of a surprise to
even the most intimate friends of the
contracting parties, but for all that,
we welcome them to our ranks and
our best wishes are that "they may
live long add prosper,"
Miss Mcintosh is well known and
popular here, Ijaving served as saleslady for W. Wolsey, and as clerk
in the post office. Mr. Russell, though
having lived in the city buf a short
time, comparatively, by his genial
manner, and having traveled extensively abroad, his ability as a clever
conversationalist, have "won for him
many friends who will congratulate
him on his good fortune- iu securing
such an estimable young lady for a life
partner. _^

With regard to the effect of tobacco
upon the lungs, a leading American medical writer recently said,
"Climate and disease germs and not
tobacco aie the great foes of the
human lungs. There is ten times the
amount of consumption In the harsh
and rugged climate of New England,
among non-smokers, than the out
rageously inveterate smokers^ male
and female, of Havanna, Turkey and
other tropical climates," Tobacco
smoke is a very mild disinfectant, de-
oderizer and germicide. It protects
the mucus membrane it comes in contact with against disease germs better
than dilute Listerine or a 5 per cent
solution of carbolic acid.
It has long been a rule, of all physicians going into an infected house to
light a cigar. During the recent
plague in Hong Kong and India the
govern men tissued cigars to every person engaeed in fighting the epidemic.
One of the foremost German biologists, a man who stands among the
half.dozen most profoundly scientific
minds of the world, has made a calculation, the result of which is, in his
opinion, that the man who does not
smoke runs twenty-eight times the
■chance of contracting disease to one of
the man who uses tobacco.
For pure, clean cigars, the very best
made, call at the manufacturing establishment of W. P. Lewis.

There lives in this county one of the
best hearted women on earth, wliose
sole fault is gossip. She will give the
last cent she has to anv one in trouble
but will always reserve tbe right to
gossip about him. She will sit up all
night with a sick person and find
recompense enough for lost sleep in
making the discovery that the bed the
patient lies on has "bugs." She will
go to the funeral and weep like a
whipped child and find her reward in
gossiping about the relatives of the
