The adoption of the Lea resolution carried with it the senate's verdict that “corrupt me- lthods and practices were employed in the election of William Lorimer.” making his election invalid. For more than two years the light had been on to oust Lorimer from the seat in the senate as a represen- tative of the State of Illinois.

INTERESTING ITEMS FROM PORCUPINE A canoe accident occurred on Sun'- day eVening. when two young men were overturned on the east side of the lake. Beyond getting a w‘etting they escaped without further injuro ies. By an error which occurred in last week's issue Messrs. Unapman and Tapp are reported to be building an. other Masonic Temple at Timmins. It should have read for Messrs. Gor- don Davies at Schumacher. It is expected that on his visit to Porcupine in Aug-“st Mr. Rowe“ will be asked to pitch the first. ball in a game to be played on the Porcupine ground on that date. On the 11th inst. the anniversary of the great fire. Hutch Burns round- ed up a numBer of the Iioys and took them over to graveyard point to help fix up and somewhat improve the cemetery.

The astonishing transfor- 1 mation of the stones after only about lone month's exposure to the rzulium tare described as follows: 'I‘he (mange is effected nvrely by continued exposure to radium salts and the stones which give the best results are sapphires.

Scarcely daring to credit the evi- dence of his eyes,the chemist visited a jeweler from whom he bought the stones at an average price of 40 cents per carat, and asked what. the jewel- er would offer for the “new" parcel. The jeweler suspecting nothing even after a close examination, offered $10 per carat for all the stones,with the exception of the small 'but exâ€" quisite ruby colored one, nor whidh he said he was willing to give no less than $100 a carat. Jack Johnston Arrested Again Jack Johnson, champion pugilist, who, with his wife, was recently in- dicted by the federal gTand jury on a charge of smuggling a diamond necklace into this country, was ar- rested Monday afternoon charged with striking and intimidating Chas. Brown, a negro chauffeur, one of the government’s principal witnesses in the case. Brown was formerly employed by Johnson as a chaufieur. He is five feetfi in height and slightly built. When Brown entered the pugilist's cafe, Johnson asked him wnat he told the grand about the diamond necklace, and when the witness de- clined to tell him, the pugilist is al- leged to have struck Brown a blow in the face. Johnson was arraigned and hearing continued after he had furnished a bond for $5,000. Chief G. E. Fairbairn of the fire- department reports that a small fire occurred at the Italian Bakery on July 16th 21121.30 p.m. 'I‘ne blaze was put out by Constable Salle, us- ing chemical extinguisher No. 17. The damage was slight and was caus- ed by a burned out or defective pipe. Mr. Bruce has been here since the camp was tirst started and has cer- tainly done much towands the up- ,building of Porcupine He was the first J.

Mr. lnruee treating friend and foe alike. land ne\'er letting friendship stand in ithe way of his administration of ins. itice to all parties. The above was iiully borne out by the tokens of ad- miration and esteem towanls him which was expressed ht his hosts on Satunlay last. SeVeral speeches were given in which all expressed their admiration of him as a rerorder and the upright mmlm't he has always shown.

When they (10,, we could give them eighteen, or possibly a daily issue, if needed, though if they will buy the “boilerplate" we can get it made up. I could do that mysell, and I don't know the first thing about printing, except the fact that it is an empensive luiaury for the man who has got to foot the bill, but I do not want to 'have one half of the paper printed in Toronto as is done by the New Liskeand newspapers. The price of The Haileyburian is one dollar a year, except in the Unit- ed States. where it is a dollar and a half, simply, on account of the fact that we have to pay fifty-two cents a year to 'get the paper there, leaving us forty-eight cents for the rot that we print. I am not going to do it. I am not going to give my cousins a paper like? that just for their own enjoyment, and a pe- cuniary loss for myself, at least. The “fiat" hath been issued, and I woufd not blame an American for ceasing to contribute towards the maintenance of a paper that is pub- llished by a “Green-horn Britifiher." Cards are being issued announcing the wedding of Miss Fennie Rosen- bloom of Toronto to Solomon Sky of South Porcupine. The wedding and reception will take place at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Martin David Sky at. Niven street, New Liskeand, on Sunday, July 28th, at 7.30 o'- clock in the evening.
