Stolen. Calumet Post Office Entered During the Night. The S.il AN( Mown Opoii. Ami tli 3Iuy mikI Oilier Paper. Taken t in to Wliollto Ifotir Are. This iiK rnintf when Clerk WillUu and Mail Carrier Allen euteri'd the postoJliee to attend to tbeir reuuUir duties they found that s.Miie thiefor thieves had been there during tbenijht as the sahdoor was open and some of its contents scat tered on the iloor. beside which was a bi fcledge and a scre-rdriver. They at once notified Postmaster Grierson and he com municated the facts to the sheriff. It is Buppjed the robbers gained ad mission by raiding up tbesash of the window on the north tide of the ollice, the catch not having been fasten d, as! tne marks of the screwdriver are plainly visible on the sill of that window. The safe had been opened by the ine of gly cerine, the combination lock on the out side having evidently been knocked off with the sledge, ant then powder run into the lock through the holes maae rv puiiiug out the combination; after the outer door biul thus been ofened thri-e holes had been drilled in the inside door, the lock of which was ea ily opened i 1 the same iii'iucer as the outer one. The burglars took two drapers from the safe with their contents and Ufc everything vUe after looking it ell over. One of tlip drawers contained about SI 10 n postottice money and o0 in tuonej order cash and the other had $.'121 of Postmaster tirieron's money. This drawer was ul by Mr. Grierson for his business as agent for tne Home Insur ance Co, The stamps in the safe were lett untouched as was also the big batch of registered letters and the money or ders. There wa some money-order change in the safe but it was untouched There is scarcely any clue to work on, but it appears rather strange that Done of the company's nightwatchmen saw anything Buspicious, as some of them are at the bank corner a great deal of the time. '1 he burglars left their sledge, screw diiver and a large pockec knife. A piece of dirty soap, evidently used In getting the powder into the holes, was also lying on the floor. The screw-driver and sledge were recognized by James Mc Hardy, the blacksmith, as belonging to him and the burglars must have taken them from hU place last night, as the tools were ued yesterday in the shop. The most peculiar part of the whole af fair wmj that the fledge was the same one u-ed when the old postoffice was burglarized several years ago. This morning some men at work in the field near the old base ball ground found the two drawers and lock-box. The ca h was all gone, but several checks and In surance receipts, which would be valueless to the robbers, were left in the drawers. Another Calumet Hor. The laet number ol "The Banker, Mer chant and Manufacturer'publiaaed inChi caRO, under the head of ''Eminent in Ko Kineerlnu:," give an account and por trait of Frank C. Unborn, C.

Look After Your Clilldreu The News lately called attention to the fact that a Miss Morrison, daughter of Captain Morrison, of Crystal Falls, who had started out alone to look up a good place for berry-picking, was assaulted and murdered. It now appears that a young man named Peter Dons, whose mother lives at Norway, and who was the first person to point out the body, has confessed that seeing the young lady leave the high road he followed her and after making so Tie insulting remarks, which were repulsed, assaulted and then choked her to death. The incensed citi zens of the place, after the fellow bad con fessed, made some threats of lynching him; it is to be hoped, however, that cooler beads will be able to eontrol the crowd and that the taw will t e allowed to take its course and that ibis great Over 1500 State will not ba disgraced by lynching. Voung girU in this neighborhood can be seen every day starting out on a berry picking expedition and as this place jut now is infested with a lot of tramps it is to b hoped that the heads of families w ill ree that their tbildren on these ex rursions are properly chaperoned. Tte fate of the girl who some years ago wns found murdered between the Calumet dam and lied Jacket, almost within call of help, is recalled by Miss Morrison's death and parents should bear in mind that history tnuht repeat UtuV. For the lit iiuiou. Extensive arrangements nro being mad by Ked Jacket lodge, A. O. U. W., for the annual reunion to be held here August 25, and no efforts will b spam) to make the celebration a memorable one in the history of the lodge. A commit tte consisting of Messrs. firigg, Chynowetb, Ellis, Cuddihy, Drennhan, l)t Goober and Kemp has the affair in charge. A letter received from (Juincy lodge states the organization there will at tend to a man and the Houghton and Lnke Linden lodge has also decided to attend in a body. The other lodges in the Upper Peninsula will hIso fend dele gations, although a large attendance is not expected from the iron country. The Fifth Infantry band has been en gaged for the o casion. The parade will occur early in the afternoon and the re mainder of the day will be spent at the Tamarack park. The Degree of Honor ladies will erve supper at the park and there will be dancing and other amuse ments, Julr Wtutlier Kepsrt.

Hanna and part visited the city. The party arrived at Portage Lake last evening in tbeir yacht, theComaucbe. This morning a special train over the Mineral Range brought them out from Hancock accompanied by Supt, Shields. The party is composed of Senator and Mrs. Mark Hanna and their two daughters, Misses Ruth and Mabel, Mr. and Mrs. Gosline, Miss Lucia Mc Curdy and Mr. H. R.Terry. The yacht crew also came out on the fprcial train and visited the mine with the party. Supt, Duncan met the party at the depot where three large conveyances awaited them. They visited the Ked Jacket shaft, the Superior engine bouse and the various other points of interest about the mine. To most of the party the machitery was interesting us none had ever visited the mine before. After visiting the mine the entire party took dinner at tbeCilumet Hotel and returned to Hancock ou tie special trail at 2 o'clock. The party is making a tour of the great lakes on the yacht. Ihe last stopping place bi fore coming to the cop per country was at Marquette, They will go from here t Duluth and make the return trip on the north shore, stop ping at Port Arthur. After touring the lakes the yacht will go to Buffalo where President and Mrs. McKinle.v will join them and go to Cleveland. The yacht is one of the tinest that ever came into Portape Lake. Twenty-one seamen are employed on board. Interview r ,ipt to l'nll the L.oiir flow. The State Republican gives an inter view with Labor Commissioner Cox, in which that gentleman is made to say, "You repot ters are quick to catch up the sayiogs of public men, and especially State otlicials, and yon an often com pelled to draw largely from inferences and general indications to complete y )ur reports and make them spicy aud lead able." In this Mr Cox wus right, and consequently much of the stuff that is being repeuted and published as coming from Governor Pingrte probably was oever uttered by thalindiyidual. During the last campaign much was published about the governor's sayings, and when the News stated to u personal friend of the governor's that such sayings were, in its opinion, at least very impolitic, was told, "Why. on one occasion 1 was in the governor's room at his residence, when a reporter was ushered in to his presence, and heard every word that was said and was considerably surprised the next morning to see an account of the inter view in a Detroit paper. Why, the re porter had stated things that were Dei er even referred to at the interview." It is now going the rounds that the governor is reported as saying that he is going to see that Senator Burros will not be re elected: which report is being used as po litical capital against the governor. Ia the interview with Mr. Cox, as pub lished in the State Republican, appears the following, and if Mr. Cox's statement is true it giyes the lie to the report, and which, in a spirit of fairness, we reprint. The interviewer asked Mr. Cox: "Who will be the next United States senator from Michigan? "1 don t have the making of United Stuies senators as any part of my work," replied Mr. Cox, "but I would be led to believe that the millennium had arrived if all were agreed upon the same candidate, tor any place, even in their own party. It never was and never will be so. Each individual is richtfullv entitled to his own preference and choice until the majority, in convention, caucus or election, snail nx the choice of the Dar ty. Then is a reasonable time toexoect a general agreement and then is the time wnen 1 shall be able to answer your ques tion as to who it will be." "Well, then, wh-i will be the choice of the rinicree people? 1 he i'mgree people, as you choose to style tnem, are the majoiity of the re publicans of the state of Michigan and l. ; t. . : nt i lueiriuuu-eu win oe as numerous as there are candidates in the party. Nona oi the governor s friends have committed then selves that I know of, and 1 do not think tbey will for some time to com The governor has bis American right of cooiee, me same as any other republican, but I have never heard him express it. even when he has been in the most con fidential mood and with his closest inenas. i nave heard the candidacy of senator Burrows. John Patton, William Alden Smith, Col. John Atkinson and other good republicans discussed by the governor, out never a cboice expressed. It is too early even for speculation." I-'leld'N 31intrels Tonight. ice company known as Al U, Field's real minstrels arrived in this city this morniog after giving a very enjoyable performance at Hancock last evening. The company could not bring out their special cars over the Mineral Range and left them at Houghton. The street par ade this morning attracted no little at tention and the band concert at the corner of Fifth and Oak street was very highly spoken of. The entertainment at the Opera House this evening promises to be well attended. The company is one composed entirely of artists and the entertaitneot they give is out of the ordinary and peculiar in it self. The wardrobe, stage effects and everything pertaining to the entertain ment has been gotten up regardless of cost. Seats have been on sale for the past few days at Ryan's and have gone like botcakes.

IJuile a few members of the Sacred Heart church eoncngation, mostly resi dents of Laurium, are not satisfied with havifgthenew church built on the site choseu and last night several members of the congregation liviug in Laurium htld a meeting and decided to build a church in Laurium next ummer. An option has been obtained on a piece of property on Htcla street. It ii not intended to re strict the membership of the new church to Irish and German, but it is to nclude all the nationalities in Laurium. The New s has been asked more than once this morning whether Marshal Ward would give it as his opinion that the burglarv committed at the postothce during last night was no robbery, but only a free advertising job for the United States.

Problem of Llrlng. The strong yearning for the life of Washington or of New York ist the mark of a centripetal tendency which is rea sonable and eaeily understood. The same thing appears in all rich countries. The well to do English try to spend part of tht year in London, the French in Paris. They do it and keep their coun try homes besides. Our westerners have a more difficult problem. They are much farther away from their social and polit ical centers than most of the French or the English, and the idiosyncrasies of the American climato complicate their home comings. Consider the case of tha rich people of tho great Ohio citios. The Cleveland man who has struck Standard oil, or politics, or something, nud has become solvent beyond the dreams of avarice, develops a lawful de sire to live at tho center of things and builds a houso in New York or Wash ington, which is his headquarters from November to May. He still has a house in Cleveland, but when is he going to live in it? Not in summer, for his neighbors who stay at home in the winter come east to the seashore in the summer. He may find Cleveland attractive in the late spring and the early fall, but tho chances are that his family will tell him that it doesn't pay to travel so far and open and close a houso for such short periods. The upshot cf it must tend to be that the shutteis Kt;iy tip on the Cleveland man's house in Cleveland, and that he lives elsewhere, mid merely goes homo to vote or on errands of business. And why doesn't he givo it up altogether? Ht'cnnso considerations of tradoor penti meut or of politics forbid. It pays to be a representative man and hail from somewhere, and Ohio is a good state to hail from. Harper's Weekly. The Eyes.
