Tuesday, April 7, 1886. snow fell to

the depth of over two feet iff Detroit. I t was a genuine blizzard and the snow

was piled up in such fantast ic piles as to blockade all travel bys t ree t car or steam

car. It was the worst storm known in tha t vicinity in m a n y years. Here not

a fiake of snow fell. It was a l - "ezy

day but nothing but wind.

The ladies of the W. R. C. have been making a handsome quilt of many piec-es, bearing tho names of many soldiers,

d rawing which will take place a t the close of the meeting of the Post next

Wednesday night . All ticket holders

invited to be present.

W a n t to plow? Well .go ahead. Can't

find the plow, eh? About face; go to t ha t ten-acre lot at t he far ther end of the f a r m , and you will find your plow just where you left it nearly six months

ago: rusty , weather-beaten and almost worthless. Well, a new one will cost

only $15.00, and tha t is much cheaper t h a n to carry the implements to the tool house, well cleaned, a f te r using. Of

course it is, and that ' s why you are so well off (?) in this world's goods.

The forest products of the United States are worth to-day not less t han

$800,000,000, which is a good deal more t h a n the value of the metal and mineral output of all our mines of coal, gold, sil-

ver, copper iron and lead, all put togeth-er. The annual yield of our gold and

silver mines is wor th less than one-tenth of this enormous total ; and forest prod-ucts in a vast number of direct and in-

direct ways, are essential to every in-dus t ry in which civilized men engage.

The JOURNAL was favored with a ser-

enade Wednesday af ternoon by M. D.

Shaw and his t w o children Johnn ie and Kit t ie Belle. Mac is a veteran violinist

and the children arc promising musi-cians. Johnnie ,aged 13, and Kit t ie Belle,

aged 11, each plays the piccolo and double bass finely. This company will

give a concert a t Music Hal l next Mon-day evening. An a t t rac t ive program

will be presented. "At tend Kit t ie Belle's Concert ." Pat ronize and encourage

home talent .

All signs point to a radical change in the methods of cattle-raising in the

West. The ranges are overcrowded,and losses dur ing the past few winters have

been correspondingly augmented . The poor fa rmer is demanding land to culti-vate. Ranchmen who have fenced

large tracts feel tha t they are trespassers and mus t own or legally control t he

land on which their cattle graze. Then they mus t have a better class of stock.

cator.

One who a t tends sends the following

note: " S u n d a y w a s a very pleasant and

profitable day for the Congregational church . A large congregation was pres-

ent . The communion service was quite impressive and five new members were

received. The church is blessed with peace and prosperity. Under Mr. Hust-

ed's care it has received addit ions to its membership a t every communion season

except one. The Sunday school is on

the increase, while prayer meetings are of unusual interest. The Sunday servic-es are greatly helped by excellent sing-

ing and music."

The Center (state prohibition organ)

says: "The prohibitionists of Michigan

don' t want any prohibitory constitution-

al amendmen t submit ted. • * They

have grown fa r beyond the amendment stage of par ty life; they now demand tho unconditional surrender of the en-

tire s ta te government into their hands. Some montlis ago when the JOUSKAI

said the prohibition par ty of Michigai

did not want any prohibitory amend ment submitted, certain members oi t ha t par ty said we were mistaken. Di

they still think we were mistaken? The modest demand of "The Center" is "un-

conditional surrender of the ent i re state government into their hands ." Present-

ly m a y we expect to see the whole ea r th in The Center 's vest pocket. The

editor of tha t paper should wear a com-press.

A TALE OF REAL L I F E .

L O W E L L .

Election day passed off very quietly in

Lowell, a l though a good vote was polled

and considerable interest was manifest-

ed. Three township t ickets were in the field, viz. Republican, "Citizens'" and Prohibition. The Republicans elected

clerk and h ighway commissioner. Tho Citizens" elected sui^rvisor, treasurer,

drain commissioner, just ice, and con-stables. W . M. Chapman (Rep.) was on

both R. & C. tickets. The following is

the result in detail:

Supervisor: R. Hun te r J r . (Rep.) 161 votes; Henry Mitchell. (Cit.) 378; N. B. Blatn(Pro.)86.

Clerk: F. D. Eddy (R)2W; R. W . Gra-ham (C) 192; Chas. Quick (P) 164.

Treasurer: M. C. Barber (R) 164; G . W. Schneider (C) 375: Jno . L. Kopf (P)

87. Jus t ice : W . H . Eddy (R) 245: H . Nash

(C) 269; J . C Hare (P) 103. Highway Com'r : C. O. Hill (R) 272; L.

W. Cogswell (C) 263: G. E . Bartlett (P)

87. Drain Com'r: T. R. Graham (R) 222;

Joseph Graham (C) 275; J o h n Christie (P)121.

School Inspector: Will M. C h a p m a n

(R & C) 584; W. L. S h u a i t (P) 91. Constables: Will E. Burnet t (R) 236;

A. K. L a m b (R) 252; T. R. Graham (R)

212; A. C. Morgan (R ^ C) 497; Chas. Bias* (C) 297; S. F. Edmonds (C) 277: G. W. Davis (C) 262; H . A. Barre t t (P) 104; C. W . Johnson (P) 128; C. W. Stevens (P) 101; E. O 'Harrow (P) 91».

The above figures show tha t there was

very little politics in the election here this spring. There was no democrat ic or greenback ticket in the field and the

Citizens" ticket, having a non-part isan

appearance and representing also men of well known runn ing qualities, swept the board (with the few exceptions named) by vary ing majorit ies. I t is useless to

a t t r ibu te the result to this or t ha t cause

The result is gracefully accepted and the world still moves.

T O W N S H I P APPROPRIATION'S.

The electors voted appropriations as

follows: $800 for deficiency in the h ighway

and bridge f u n d . $500 for repairs on h ighway between

Ada road and lower Grand River bridge. ^ car load of tile for culverts

$200 for new bridge and road west of depot, road dist. No. 9, Sec. 9.

$700 for poor fund . $40 for Cemetery at C. Layer's. $25 for Cemetery No. 3.

The W. C. T. U. Convention. The ar rangements for enter ta ining the

F i f th Congressional District Convention

of the W . C. T. U. at Lowell are being carried out satisfactorily. The hospital-ity of the citizens is inspiring. At this da te a large number have responded,

and we lio|)e more will, so that we can '

have places of en te r ta inment , providing , each union send their ful l representa-t ion. I t will be very gra t i fy ing to us

and a credit to ou r communi ty to have th ings so ad jus ted that there will In? no

of our fr iends and the righteousness of our cause tha t it emboldens us to plan

largely and execute with all the tact and nltill tha t we have a t our command .

W e expect our delegates to t ake their

to enter ta in a t noon their guests at the church, those who have long distances j to walk and wish to bring their lunch, j

and our fr iends f rom the count ry who j can provide for themselves and remain :

th rough the day , we will fu rn ish tea | and coffee in the basement. As many

will come directly to the church wi thout i

t ho opportuni ty of going to their board- j ing places for their first meal, and others ;

leaving at t he noon hour, it will be nec- i essary to have a large quant i ty of lunch j

on hand. Wi l l the fr iends in the village |

who cannot e n t e r t a i n e r any BO disposed,! and those in the country who a re wi l l - ' ing to lend a helping hand, bear this in mind? Our delegates f rom the east will

necessarily be late the first day to their dinner and others m a y be assigned to

their boarding places a f te r the evening

meeting. W e are sorry that we gave notice tha t

Mrs. Mary T. Lathrop would be with us. but supposed it was a fixed fac t , hearing

••The Tour lu t .Season."

With the constantly increasing facili-

ties and conveniences for travel, the so-called " tour i s t season" is rapidly becom-

ing a thing of the past, and travel for pleasure or health will soon cease to be generally confined to part icular months

of the year. Especially is this t rue since desirable winter resorts have been de-veloped by the proyision of necessary conveniences and accessories to locali-ties whose natura l at t ract ions of climate

and scenery are calculated to invigorate both the body and mind . Prominent among such are the resorts of Southern California and Mexico. They are reach-

ed by through trains over the Bur l ing-ton Route. C., B. & Q. R. R., f rom Chi cago or Peoria, to e i ther Atchison or

Kansas City, where connection is made

with the southern routes for Mexico or California, If . however, business or

pleasure dictates a visit to San Francisco en route to these resorts, the Burlington Route also runs through train over its

own track f rom Chicago, Peoria or St. Louis, ei ther by the way of Kansas

City, Pacilic Junc t ion . Council Bluffs, Omaha, direct to Denver, the great dis-t r ibut ing jwint for all Colorado and Pa -

cific Coast points. These through t ra ins are elegantly equipped, and n d e you

over a track that Is as smooth and safe

as a perfect road-bed, steel rails, iron bridges, interlocking switches, and oth-er devices for comfor t and safety can

make it. W h e n ready to s tar t , call on

F r o u i Texan to K a n s a s .

Last week's JOURN.VL left me at Fort Worth. Texas, wrestling with the pro-blem of capital vs. labor. I asked older and wiser heads than mine to solve it: the j shook their heads and gave me no light. .last before starting northward from the Lone Star State I once more visited the sent of war and mingled with the strikers. Said I to one—a very in-telligent mechanic—-this strike occurred on the Texas & Pacilic because of the discharge of the man Hall at Marshall did it not?"

"Yes sir,, was the reply, ' ' that was the principal cause."

"And the T. & P. road is now in the hands of a receiver and was when the strike occurred?"

"Yes. Jay Gould has nothing to do with this road now."

"Wliat , then, caused the strike on the

Missouri Pacific road?" 1 asked. •'An injury to one is an injury to all—

we must stand together." was the signi-ficant reply.

In further conversing with this knight I learned that he and other knights were in doubt as to the result of the strike. They felt that the strike, while not en-tirely causeless, was perhaps premature and ill advised, especially on any other line than the T. & P, They felt, too, that the peoplo generally felt that the strike was a mistake on the part of the Knights.

I left Fort Worth on the night of March 12th. The excitement at the Union depot was intense and the train was two honre late in starting. From Fort Worth to Denison the distiftice by rail W about 95 miles. I t took the train seven hours to go from Fort Worth to Denison, with no long stops at interme-diate stations. The section hands had all left the track and the engineers and conductors were a little nervous and very watchful lest they might find a rail missing or a bridge gone. It was daylight when we reached Denison and it was rather pleasant to feel that we were getting out of the strike district. Nothing more serious occurred that night than the loss of sleep. This was more than made up by the excitement on Ixiard caused by a vehement and pro-longed discussion between a man who couldn't speak a word of English and a

hilarious party of cow boys and others who couldn't speak or understand any language except English. The foreigner was excited aud evidently a little oil in bus head. The cow boys took turns in delivering their orations and I must con-fess that the entertainment was rich. It lasted about two hours and there was more real mother wit fiung around there in those two hours than one can find in the humorous papers in two weeks. Knowing their opponent to be single handed and alone the cow boys showed no violence or disposition to abuse him. I have no doubt they would have shot down any party that would have at-tempted to injure the poor fellow. They simply had their fun at his expense and when they left the train they each shook hands with him and manifested deep re-gret at parting with him.

The ride through the Indian Territory north was made entirely by daylight. A more Injautiful day probably never dawned. The sky was cloudless and the air was balmy. Car windows were raised and the fragrance of fresh prairies let in. It seemed like a holiday with a special smile from Providencc. Here and there a jack rabbit would skip away behind his ears and once, within forty roils of the train, appeared a small herd of antelope. At sundown the train crossed the northern line of the Territory; at 11-45 we rolled into the Union depot a t Kansas City.

From Kansas City to Toptka is a two hours run. tlirough a delightful country. Topeka, the capital of Kansas, is a hand-some city of about 30,000 inhabitants. The city is growing with reasonable rapidity. A new state capitol is in course of construction and when com-pleted il will be one of the finest in the west. ' Here are located the general offices of the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe railroad Company. Nothing in Chicago surpasses in style and con-venience the magnificent structure erected for this purpose at Topeka. Through the courtesy of Capt. Steele of the transportation department favors were extended which were fully appre-ciated. The A. T. & S. F. I)eing the most popular and best patronized through line to California, tlie rush of people west on this lino is simple immeaso. It is probably the best equipped road west of the Missouri river anil its business is unormous. Visitors and home seekers from the east pour in-to Kansas City and Leavenworth and bound for western Knnsas, Colorado or the Pacific coast lose no time in secur-ing tickets for passage over this line.

At Topeka I met the Rev. S. E. Bus-ser of Kinsley, Ks., formerly of this vil-lage. I obtained his consent to go west nnd on the night of March 15th, took the train for Kinsley. Arrived there at I p. m. on the 16th, where I found Fred B, Hine at the depot waiting for some-body. Here Fred was temporarily lo-cated, engaged in the loan and real es-tate business. Here also are pleasantly located the Rev. S. E Busser and family who are among the most favored of Kins-ley's people, Mr. B. is pastor of a pros-perous church and gets a large salary for his services. He occupies a fine parson-age provided by his flock, and with his model wife and bright children happi-ners reigns within and without. Here, too, I found Mr. C. A. Burhank and family, formerly of Saranac. "Bur" is in the jewelry business and enjoying a good patronage. H's heart is jast as big as ever—nothing too good for his friends. I will conclude my Kaasaa trip next week. •!. W. H.

Island Lake, burned April 6. When dis-covered, the entire upper portion was all in flames. Mr. McArthur was a t a neighbor's, and very little of the house-hold goods were saved. The house was a good one and the insurance—$1,500 in the Kent Mutual—will not cover the loss.

It was with a great thrill of pain we learned the beloved Mrs. Adelbert Hunt-ley-nee Lucena Close, born and raised in Grattan had passed away ut her home in Petoskey April 1, aged 35 years and 0 montlis. leaving six daughters and one son, with the husband and father to mourn tho loss of a most lovable, gifted and considerate wife and mother. Mr. and Mrs, C. Eddy her only sister, were with her, ns tho strick-en parents Mr. nnd Mrs. Close, could not be. It was thought best to have the burial at Petoskey, and the sad services took place April 3. So suddenly has the blow fallen, that we cannot realize her as dead. The mother's mantle of care will fall to the older daughters, who already give promise of extraordinary talents. May He who calmed the rag-ing tempest of old, speak to each bleed-ing heart "Peace be still.'' affording s w e e t e s t c o n s o l t a i o n , MAUD.

About three years ago the agent for Acker's English Remedy first called at this town, and since then the number of testimonials that have been sent in to J . B.

During a serious run of whooping cough at Stillwater, N. Y., the physi-cians found that Acker's English Rem-edy was a positive cure and prescribed it very freely. J . B. Yeiter, says that m all his experience he never has known any medicine to equal it. He guaran-tees it to cure all Coughs (especially icbromc cases), Cioup, Asthma and Con-sumption.

In order that sufferers may know that Acker's Dyspepsia Tablets will always cure them, J . B. Yeiter. emphatically says that if the Tablets do not releive every case of Dyspepsia, Constipation, Sour Stomach, Sick Headache, Heart-burn, &c., Ac., he does not want any pay. The physicians say they are the finest combination that can be found. Price 25 cents.

Our readers are cautioned about buy-ing medicines which are not endorsed by some well known druggist. J . B. Yeiter, has made a thorough study of Blood diseases, and atter a careful in-vestigation, and many practical tests, positively asserts that Acker's Blood Elixir will cure all blood disorders, rid-ding the system of its impurities, and leaving it strong, vigorous and healthy. Ho warrants it. It is a certain cure for all skin diseases.
