Manistee Independant
Tuesday afternoon was appointed as a time when the locomotive would
be given a trial. A reporter of the INDEPENDENT was notified of this fact,
and called to witness its workings. It had been constructed in the
engine-room of Sands' gang mill, from which place a track nearly one hundred
and fifty feet in length had been built for experimental purposes. Everything
was in readiness, and after a few moments spent in getting up steam, the
shrill whistle of the locomotive was blown, and several persons, including
the scribe, stepped aboard the engine. Steam was turned on, and the engine
shot out of the mill and down the track at a rapid rate.As the locomotive
approached the end of the track, the engineer whistled "down brakes", and
the brakeman, who was at his post, "turned them on," and the The engine will be taken, this week, about fourty miles up the Manistee River, to Mr. Sands' railway, which is about six miles in length and is laid with Trail. Mr. Tuxworth says the locomotive will pull from 9,000 to 10,000 feet of logs very easily, and can be run from ten to fifteen miles an hour with safety. Mr. Alfred Tuxworth, brother of the inventor, will have charge of the locomotive in the woods." |
Newspaper Unknown The Dramatic Entertainment given at Temperance Hall last night by the Frankfort Combination was well attended and finely rendered.
Mr. John CANFIELD is making extensive improvements in his house in
the way of paper hanging and decorating. John J. McGrath, of Chicago, is

BOTANICAL RESEARCH |
Manistee Advocate Democrats are alarmed at the array of talent the Reupblicans are putting on the stump in this county.
Don't fail to hear the eloquent address of Col. O.T. BEARD at Scandinavian
Hall next Friday night. Col. BEARD, besides being an eloquent speaker, is
a noted author and wields a powerful pen. Reed's Gilt-Edge Tonic can be depended upon in all cases of chills and fever, no matter how severe. Try it. Frank SOMERVILLE and Miss Nellie McCORMICK were married by Father WILLIGAN last Thursday night. The Advocate is awful sick of that planking business which it endeavored to use against DUNLAP. Give us another boomerang brother CADY. A fire broke out in the lumber piled near Hon. M. ENGELMANN's mill last Saturday and destroyed property to the amount of about $500. Wm. CHANDLER, Esq., a workingman of this city, spoke at Filer Town last night in behalf of the Republican party. Bill is getting to be a power in the argument for the right. Mr. Chas HURD is here selling off his property and arranging to move his family to Michigan City, Indiana, where he is connected with a Refrigerator Manufacturing Company. Hon. W.H. CALKINS, the member of Congress from Indiana, who speaks in this city next Monday night, and at Bear Lake next Tuesday night, is said to be one of the ablest speakers of the west.
ACCIDENTALLY SHOT INCONSISTENCY.- The Independent attempts to defend its support of DOVEL upon the ground that the charges which are made against Mr. DOVEL are of a "private" character. It therefore assumes that it is not in the provinece of a public journal to touch a candidate's private character. We would like to know how the Independent can make such a position as that consistent with their treatment of Louis E. MORRIS, whose private character the Independent assailed even before the democratic convention met. Is DOVEL's private character any more sacred than MORRIS? and if so, why? |
Manistee Advocate The STANDARD copy of the Democrat has been lost twice in the post office within three weeks, as it has not reached this office and its editor says it was mailed. What is the trouble? Don't forget that BALDWIN, PIERCE & Co. have the best of everything in their line and sell it at the lowest possible prices. Read their advertisement in this paper and then go see them. Rev. Dr. FAIRFIELD will deliver one of his most attractive Sunday evening lectures tomorrow evening, at the Congregational church. Subject, "Dangers of Young Men." Go early to get a seat. The mills of Manistee employ 1,681 men while Muskegon, with more mills, employs only 766; Ludington 436; Whitelake 413; Cheboygan 495; and Grand Haven and Spring Lake combined 1,259. The steamer Ludington came in Sunday morning, while the mercury was four degrees below zero. This is the third trip she has made within a week. For promptness in winter navigation Captain Gillman is entitled to the broom. A regular blizzard struck this city last Sunday morning. It was decidedly the severest of the season, snow, wind and cold sent the mercury 4 deg. below zero, the lowest point reached yet. The cold across the lake was intense, going to 40 deg. below zero in Montana. Mr. James SOMERVILLE is dangerously ill with pneumonia. On Tuesday he was not expected to live. Frank SOMERVILLE is also suffering with rheumatism. LATER.- Rev. James SOMERVILLE departed this life Wednesday at 2 p. m. The deceased was an old and respected citizen and his loss is a public calamity. Some one bound to save crockery at the BAUR Exchange threw a large pitcher out of the second story window striking little Clarence TOMLIN on the head. The pitcher was broken and so was the head. The boy was carried away insensible, but was around again in a day or two. The pitcher never recovered. We understand that the Directory of Manistee City and County is to be a complete work, something that has been much needed here for some time. If the book is sold for a reasonable price it ought to go into every household in this county, as it undoubtedly will, to a large extent. John O'Malley is compiling the work, and we believe it is designed to be out about April 15. |
Manistee Democrat The masquerade ball given by the Manistee Turnverein at German Hall last Friday evening was one of the most notable social events of the season. Over 225 couple were present, and a right merry time was had by all. The Turnverein boys never do things by halves. Mr. N. G. ROBINSON, Sr., father of N.G. ROBINSON, of this city, arrived in Manistee Thursday evening from Ottawo city, Ont., and will hereafter reside here.

The Scandinavian Society are making extensive preparations for a grand masquerade ball to be given in German Hall, on Wednesday evening, Jan. 31, The proceeds will be used in the construction of their new hall. The object is a worthy one, and those who enjoy this class of pleasure, will not only get their money's worth of amusement, but will assist a worthy institution. All are invited. Those keeping a chronological record of the notable events occuring in Manistee for 1883, should write down Thursday evening, Feb. 6, in a bold hand and capital letters. Upon that day and date the German workingmen's society will give the greatest, grandest and most hifallutin masquerade ball ever given in Manistee. Committee of arrangements: M.

Many letters have been written to Mrs. WARD, the parties thinking that she was still in charge.

Manistee Advocate 21 Nov 1891
DEATHS- Tha nine month old child of Mr. and Mrs. Milton McGUIRE, died in Grand Rapids of dropsy of the brain, and was brought to Manistee for interment, yesterday. Before Justice HARLEY, two young girls were charged with being common prostitutes and sentenced to pay a fine of $5 or 15 days in jail. In one case the father paid the fine; a brother paid in the other case. It would be better for the girls to jump into the lake than go to certain ruin in this world and in the hereafter. Otto FIRZLAFF, (not the well known merchant tailor of that name, but altogether a different sort of an Otto F.), got drunk and went into Bauman & Waal's meat market, where he used very insulting and abusive, and, it is claimed, indecent language. Justice HARLEY assessed him $2 and costs.

LYONS bought the RIETZ Salt & Lumber Co's plant in this city, and would start operating it soon. A careful investigation failed to verify the rumor. As near as can be learned nothing has been done yet towards dividing the mill plant and the resident property belonging to the firm in Manistee, or, the property in Chicago; but the stump lands and the hardwood lands suitable for farming, has been divided. We are informed that steps are being taken to organize a company to operate the Manistee plant.
