Both ship yards have been full of bus iness this week. Hon. Geo. W. Bell has planted many line trees in front of his elegant resi dence. W. 0. Boggs closed out his stock of groceries, and crockery and glassware at auction this week. Mason & Morgan's Uncle Tom's Cabin company, drew a good house and gave general satisfaction. J. G. Spiller, at the water works well, let one of the drills fall on his foot last Saturday, mashing one of his big toes He has been nursing it this week. The circus bills have proved a great attraction this week, and have been gazed at by hundreds. Sometimes it has been somewhat amusing to watch the gazers. Hugh McKinnon, a young lad, was thrown from his velocipede last Wednes day, injuring his knee. Dr. T. A. Perrin did what he could to relieve, but it is very sore. Reapers and mowers are beginning to arrive, so that it looks like our hardware dealers, who sell the machines, expected harvest time was coming with something to harvest. Howorth's Hibernica and Comedy Co., showed to two rousing houses Thursday and Friday evenings, and showed they merited all the good things that has been said about them. Village Surveyor Douglass commenced surveying for the sewer system, as per resolutions adoptert by the Council last week, on Wednesday of this week. Hon. Geo. W. Bell is assisting. Geo. Fax, recently of H. J. Miner & Co., has rented the Kosenblnd store, north of Nelson & Bullen's and is now out purchasing a stock of cloths, and as soon as goods arrive will open a merchant tailoring establishment. Nelson & Bnllen are still alive and do ing a live business. New goods are con stantly arriving, and they claim to have the finest line of dress goods ever exhib ited in Cheboygan, and solicit ra visit that they may convince all of tho fact. They have already secured a magnifi cent flow of water at the water works artesian well, and as they have to go down about seventy-five feet more to complete their contract, the prospects are the volume of water will he largely increased. We would call attention to the adver tisement in this issue for proposals to build a school house in district No. I. town of Inverness. The building is to be erected near Laprelle creek, on the t')vn line, and will fill a long felt want in the district. Captain Matherson, of the fishing tug Messenger, reports very stormy weather over in the region of "Cockbiirn island, the iirst of the week, doing considerable damajfe to the fishing business, sweeping the stakes and twine out and piling them on the beach. Louis Parcelle has made some import ant improvements in ni drug store this week, which adds moch both to conven ience and appearance. He has moved the shelving back, giving him much bet ter show windows, and handsomely pa pered the walls. See his advertisement. Robert Coner made his first shipment of backing for the season, Wednesday on the City of Cleveland to Detroit. Owing to the iact that the mill of W. & A. Mc Arthur has been engaged sawing hem lock logs. Mr. Coner has not been able to do much yet, he only getting the stray pine logs that were mixed in with the hemlock Owing to the misfortune of breaking the casting for the new coupling for the shaft of the Van Raalte, she will be de layed one more trip and will not be able toget out before Tuesday morning. The fine steam yacht Mary, however, takes her place, and will leave at 5 o'clock to morrow morning for Sault Ste. Marie and intermediate ports. The Detroit Evening News says the Marquette and Mackinaw railroad, in which Newberry & McMillan and Fran cis Palms are largely interested, will be extended from Marquette to the Ishpe ming iron mines, a distance of 17 miles, including several little spurs, and a branch will be built from the main lines to Sault Ste. Marie, 48 miles. M. W. Home is going to build fences along the streets in his last addition to the village, put down sidewalks and put things in shape to make the addition convenient and desirable for those wish ing to build homes for themselves. Ho has planted near 100 trees, for shade, and the location, a convenient one to business make the lots in this addition very desirable. The Detroit Post and Tribune pub lishes the daily average range of the thermometer ' for March, April and May for the years hh S2 s:. and shows that April and May have not averaged any colder than last year. It gives the range of the thermometer last Tuesday morning at a numlmr of places, including Marquette. Port Garry and Bt Paul, and at Detroit it wrtH the coldest of any of the places mentioned. From the official proceedings of th e council it will be seen that the contract of the Michigan Pipe Co., of Bay City, for laying the water mains, has been completed, accepted, nnd balance due them allowed. While they have had con siderable trouble with the job. they have stood it all and fulfilled their contract in a manner that is highly creditable to to them, sparing no pains or expense to give the village all the contract called for. Now is the time to plant trees. We are getting our April showers in May, R. Robinson is building and improving the town every day. The man who has permanent interest in Cheboygan can show the same by planting trees. Ivory Littlefleld and I. S. Cooper are becoming noted as successful bear hunt ers. They slaughtered three this week. The band was out last Monday even ing, and regaled our citizens with some of their choicest music. Do it some more. Dan'l. Sullivan informs us that he and brother have sold out their stock and business as undertakers to Archibald Hamilton, who will take possession next week. H. J. Miner, the live and enterprising merchant tailor and clothier, means bus ines. He keeps his business before the Eeople and the people keep him full of usiness. Read his new ad. Thursday two Indians, who had in dulged in too much St. Iguace ''budge," lay down on the railroad and were run over by the day express. One was cut in two and the other so badly injured he cannot recover. F. M. Sammons has done much for Cheboygan, and still he is not satisfied, but is building a large structure on Third street for the accommodation of his business. The community need more men like F. M. Sammons. Frank McDonald will soon proceed to tear down the immense skeleton erected by Judson Smith, on the corner of Dres ser and Black River avenue, and erect on the site two handsome cottages. What ever Frank does is well done. Shine 'em up; but if you want to se cure a first class polish, go to A. W. Westgate & Son's shoe store and buy a box of Glycerine Polish. A trial will satisfy you that it is the best. They are the sole agents for Cheboygan. Hon. Geo. W. Bell is delighted with the water works prospects, and Cheboygan is well pleased with the energetic work done by Mr. Bell and others in securing to Cheboygan such excellent water priv ileges. Now for some other advance movement. What shall it be? Lightning struck the chimney of W. B. Daniels residence last Saturday, knocking some brick off, ripped up a few shingles on the roof, entered through the ceiling, tearing off some plastering, knockiug off part of the back of a dress ing case, and then made its exit at the corner of the looking glass. The storm the first of the week was very destructive both to life and property on the lakes. The fine schooner Wells Burt, well known in Cheboygan, is among the lost, with all on loard. Schooners Jenny Lind, Petrel, M. E. Cook and crews also lost. Twenty-seven vessels are over due at Lake Michigan ports, and great anxiety is felt. The Board of Review of Benton Town ship will meet at the residence of Super visor Sammons, next Monday, and con tinue in session four days. All who think their wealth has been over esti mated will do well to examine the roll and if assessed too high, show the board wherein the error is, and we have no doubt all mistakes will be readily recti fied. John Schriber, a young lad arrested for larcenv. had his examination before Justice Fife yesterday forenoon and was found guilty. Upon consultation with Hon. Jacob Walton, state agent for Chebovgan county, for "correction and charities." and with the approval of Judge of Probate Perkins, he was sen tenced to the Reform School at Lansing until 18 years of age. W. S. Simmons, the express messenger who cut his throat with a razor, while on the Aleomah, Friday evening of last week, died Thursday morning and his body passed down on the train that evening to Detroit for burial. The mourning wife and children were on the train. The latter are not aware their father killed himself, but think he was hurt in a railroad accident. The Owl club, assisted by the pupils of the graded school, are actively rehears ing the four act comedy "School,"' which they propose giving next month for the benefit of our public school. The time and attention bestowed upon its prepar ation, and the known ability of those taking part, is a sure guarantee that it will bo "put upon the boards" in a supe rior manner. The play itself is full of fun from beginning to end, and all may look forward in happy anticipation of an evening of genuine enjoyment. This fact in connection with the object to be benefitted, should call out a large audi ence. Tuesday of last week W. ft A. McAr thur shipped a lot of supplies, consisting mostly of pork and beef in barrels, to Topinabee station, to be used on the drive. There being no agent there, snch shipments are made at shipper's risk. The supplies were unloaded on the plat form Tuesday from the freight train. Wednesday morning the foreman went after them, but they had disappeared. Investigation showed that they had been rolled down to tho lake and carried off in a boat which had also been stolen, and op to Wednesday last, no trace of property or thieves had been discovered. The value of tho supplies was about $00. Henry II. Pike has sold his hotel at Niles and is moving to Topinabee, and will open his hotel at that station June 1Mb. 'Hie short time Mr. Pike kept bis house open last season he won favor from the public, and we have no doubt he will receive large patronage. His house has a capacious dining room, and ho will, probably, build a largo addition to the hotel this coming fall and winter. The location is a most excellent one for a summer resort, situated, as it is, on the bank of Mullett Lake, one of the hand somest inland lakes of our state, and right at Topinabee station, on the Mich igan Central railroad. As a landlord Mr. Pike is not excelled. Next week is the time to plant trees. The rain last evening had a dampen ing effect upon circus goers. Daniel McKay's building at St. Iguace burned Thursday afternoon. So far Cheboygan has escaped the cyclones and blizzards of May. Should the weather moderate sufficient ly the "Queen of May" will be able to don her crown by June 15th. Hereafter, Prof. Sweet will only give a dance once every two weeks, Thursday nights. He announces one for next Thursday night. Go to the Methodist church to-morrow evening and hear Rev. Dr. Campbell's discourse on the history of the Tem perance Reform. The origin and some interesting incidents of the Washington Temperance Society will be given. George E. Frost is making considera ble improvements in his law office, pur chased of James J. Brown. The back rooms have been handsomely papered, and the three rooms will be neatly car peted, making him as desirable rooms for luw business as any in town.
