BIG SALE OF LAND.
Land Commissioner Will SeU Five Thousand Acres at Public Auction
August 13th.
'Fore Playin' Clare.
"So you're goan to give a show.
WeU I s'pose you likely know
Yer own "bus'ness, "but I'm glad
—Ez fer me—I never had
Money in the show biz here,
Fer old folks is so mighty queer,
An' you see when they first huilt
Our new Op'ry House, they kilt
The hull "bus'ness; cause they give.
More shows than could run—an' liye.
"Give three in one week, one time.
One was minstrels.   They was prime!
But what Mlt us was the other; '
Some blame lectures or-ruther
Talked about a chiny wall
An' a Pyramids an, all
That there sort o' rot.   An' so,
Bein as folks had paid, you know,
Fifteen cents to see a show,
Lots of them felt ruther sore
An' don't go to ghows no more
"Course your show ib good?   No doubt.
But you see the town's showed out;
Mess'n six months back we had
Faust.   Had it purty bad.
Actors' they were purty fair,
Speshly one with yeller hair.
He had taluntl He could shout
An' jes' drown the others out!
But the play itself was sad.    .
'Sides it was a draggy, bad
Sort of sadness.   Didn't begin,
To come up to ol' East Lynne!
•'Jabez Tubbs, he sez, sezhe,
'I'll take ol' East Lynne fer me,
Mebbe these new plays are fine,
But I'll take the old fer mine."
Scuse me fer goan on this way,
But I'm feared your show won't pay.
"I'ts a bad week for a show,
'Cause most folks that gits to go
Is restin up jest now
Fer the social, An' that's how
Things most always is round here.
A'r'aps there's nothint fer a year,
Then the first thing a feller knows
We're just overrun with shows.
"P'r'aps a little later might
Find a better week an' night.
Still, I dunno, fer you see
Protracted meetin' soon'll be,
Ah' of course you know that's free.
An' of course that Mils a show
Where you have to pay to go.
GOOD ROADS.
Good roads  mean  public  comfort
and private gam.
The commissioner of the state land
office has just received from the United States land office a patent for 5,000
acres of land in the counties of Gogebic, Houghton and Ontonagon, and
the lands will be offered at public
auction at the state land office Aug.
13. at the minimum price of $8 per
acre. A sale of the whole list would
therefore bring to the state $40,000.
If the lands are not all sold on the
day of public sale, they will hereafter
be subject to private sale and homestead entry at the the state land office.
These lands were selected personally
by the commissioner, by virtue of, the
provision of the swamp land acts
of congress, from the best tracts
of government land in the Upper
Peninsula, under indemnity certification. A titer such selection was made,
the commissioner of the general land
office refused to approve the selection
on the ground that congressional act
of 1889 superseded the indemnity
provisions of the acts of 1855 and 1857,
and thereafter government lands in
Michigan were subject only to homestead entry. State Land Commissioner
Wm. A. French has had a good deal
of experience in land matters,and being
especially well informed with regard
to the laws and decisions in reference to swamp lands felt positive that
the commissioner of the general land
office was in error in holding these
lands for rejection. With confidence
in tbe right and justice of the state's
claim, and assisted by the influence
and argument of Senator McMillan,
he appeared before the secretary of
the interior in an appeal from the
land office decision and secured a reversal of the decision and a patent
for the lands.
The tracts are valuable agricultura
lands lying in one of the best farming
districts of the upper peninsula, and
especially chosen by Commissioner
French to give opportunity for further
development of the rich agricultral
resources of one of the many fruitful
districts of Superior farming land.

Ohio is going to make an effort to

The distance to market should be

In Wisconsin recently a farmer
hauled with one team on one trip
what would be four ordinary loads,
across the ice of Green Bay. If we
had hard, level roads, ugreen bay"

The better the road the easier it is

Mrs. Amy E. Sanderson died Sunday
last at half-past eight. She was born in

1808, and while young was married to
Eli Johnson; five children, of whom

She was left a widow but nobly bore
her affliction trusting in God, In 1838
she married Rev. George S. Ferguson,
an itinerant minister of the Methodist
church. To them was born one son,
who died while young, and three
daughters—Rev. Phebe Hinman of
this city, who so nobly cared for her of
late; Amelia Johnson of Standish, and
Mary Way of Farwell, Mr. Ferguson

left her old home in Pennsylvania and
came to Michigan, locating in Clare

chose to live alone,'and when the message came it found her ready. As she
neared the river,, she asked that all
meet her in heaven and urged her
friends not to mourn for her. The
funeral was conducted from the Congregational church by Rev. G. A.
Bowles of Matherton, • assisted by the
Rev. A. F, Choate, on Tuesday at two
p.m. The remains were interred" in

COUNTING NOTES IN A SUN BEAM
Comparisons Noted In   Different   Localities on Land and Water.
A lecture at the Institution of Civil
Engineers an atmospheric dust is reported by the Westminster Gazette as
fallows;
"Mr. Frialander said that measurements were made from air over the open
ocean and mountain regions at altitudes
from 6,000 feet to more than 13,000 feet.
The dust counter employed contains a
chamber into which air can be intror
duced saturated with water vapor, then
slightly and quickly cooled. Owing
to the fall of temperature condensation
of vapor takes place on the dust nuclei,
which then falls on to a micrometer
plate at the ■ bottom of the chamber,
where they are rendered easily visible
for counting by the water layer "which
coats them. On the Belshorn, which
forms part of the chain containing the
Rothorn and Weisshorn, rising about
9,000 feet above the Zermatt valley on
its east and some 8,000 feet from that of
Zinal on the west* the observations
show that at an elevation of 6,700 feet
there are 950 dust particles in a cubic
centimeter, while at 8,400 feet there are
only 513 and at 13,600 only 157 dugt particles. Over the Indian ocean the' average" number of dust particles a cubic
centimeter was less than 500 for seven
out of nine days, and on fine days was
less than 400. During a thick fog on
the Atlantic the air contained 3,120 dust
particles a cubic centimeter, while in
the clear region just beyond the fog
there were only 280 dust particles."
The Brute "Wasn't Drunk.
William McGormick of Newport,
Ky., was returning home one night recently after imbibing too freely in the
wine of the state. He fell down a
forty-foot embankment and struck his
bead in the mud. His little terrier,
perceiving that his time for action had
arrived, picked up his hat and ran to
the nearest policeman, who followed
him back to the scene of the accident
and rescued the drunken man.
A Teteran and Ko Mistake.
Flemington, W. Va., has a Grand
Army man who a few days ago completed his 105th year. He is hale and
active and was able to partake of a
dinner given in his honor., His name
is Thomas Allen, and he was a member
Df the Fourth Virginia cavalry. He
will go to the forthcoming National
encampment at Minneapolis in a private car al the expense of his comrades.
Claims to Precedence.
As the tired murderer took his way,
over, the hat plains of Bsdraelon, sud>
denly the constable of Nod stood before
him. " ,.
"Gome, fellow," he. cried, rudeW
this warrant is-for you."        , .    ,
Cain drew himself up haughtily.
"Sir," he replied, in a severer tone,
"be a little more respectful in. your'
speech." _..'".
The constable gave vent to a mocking
laugh. ;,
"Inasmuch as to why?" he wanted to
know, with a leer. ^
Gain pulled his -mantle about him
closely; - ■   • .
"Because," he replied, with a proud
gesture, "you are adressing a member
of one of the first families.-'
And before the constable could gasp
twice Cain had disappeared in a cloufl
of sand over the edge of the desert
