The fire department has two causes
for complaint concerning the people on

of the team and get in the way of the
firemen. Another complaint , is that
people crowd around at a fire until there
is no room or chance for the operation
Qf the firemen with their apparatus.
The best aid they could give wonld bo
to give the firemen full swing until their
assistance is asked.

Death of Wm. J. Stafford.
The following account of the death of
Wm. J. Stafford , formerly of this city ,
is taken from tbo daily Mining .Journal
of Murquette , Michigan. In its issue of
March 20 that paper says as follows :
Wm. Stafford , roadmaster of the Mar-
qnette-Oalumet division of the South
Shore line , died very suddenly last even
ing shortly after six o'clock. The de
mise was the result of an affusion of
blood into the brain.
Mr , Stafford had just left down town
and , apparently in the best of health ,
was on his way homo for supper , walk
ing up Front street. When close to
Fraternity hall he was suddenly over
come and , falling , struck the sidewalk
heavily , face down.
Messrs. Arthur Palmer , Arthur Pow
ell , Wesley Hall , Francis and others
near at hand rushed 'to the spot. It
was at oiico seen that the attack was
serious , and the stricken man was car
ried to the Clifton hotel and placed in
the reading room. Dr. Yonngquist had in
the meantime been notified by telephone
and responded immediately , but on his
arrival he found that Mr. Stafford was
dead. The body was later removed to
the bereaved home on East Arch street.
So sudden was the taking off of Mr.
Stafford and so well and favorably
known was the victim of the attack
that as the news of the sad occurrence-
rapidly spread it caused n shock deep in
intensity in all quarters of the city. To
the stricken wife and children , the
shock was a terrible one despite that the
news had been broken gently and sympa
thizers were there to lend comfort and
soften us much as they could the effect
of the announcement that husband and
.father was no more , Sincere and deep
sympathy will universally bo extended
the family.
Mr. Stafford was born near Dnbuqne ,
la , , forty-two years ago. He came
here from the Fremont , Elkhorn & Mis
souri valley , a branch of the Northwest
ern system , about ten years ago , to
take responsible position' ' of road-
master which he had ever since so capa
bly filled , the position being similar to
the one he held in Nebraska. He had
supervision of the South Shore tracks
.between . Marqnette and Houghton and
also those of the Mineral Range line ,
and his ability was held in high esteem
by the general manager and the super
intendent and by railroad men generally.
Mr. Stufford was a valuable official and
one whose place will bo hard to fill.
The deceased is survived by his wife
and three daughters Marie , Lillian
and Loretta throe brothers , and two
sisters. The latter reside at Independ
ence , In. ; two of the brothers make
their home at Norfolk , Neb. and the
third is Patrick H. Stafford of this city ,
who ulio is a roadmaster on the South
Shore , having supervision on the Macki
naw d.vision.
Mr , Stafford enjoyed a very extended
acquaintance , not only in this city , but
along the South Shore lino. He was a
good citizen , was hold in high esteem
by nil who knew him and regret ho is
no more will bo deep and general.

GUILD
Does your horse "feel his
oats" ? What a difference be
tween the grain-fed and the
grass-fed horse ! The first
strong and full of ginger , the
second flabby , weak and tired
out before he begins. The
feeding makes the difference.
Children arc not alike either.
One is rosy , bright-eyed , full
of life and laughter , another is
pale , weak and dull. The feed
ing again is responsible.
Sickly children need special
feeding. They don't "feel their
oats" . Scott's Emulsion adds
just the right richness to their
diet. It is like grain to the
horse. The child gets new
appetite and strong digestion.
Scott's Emulsion is more
than food. It is a strong
medicine. It rouses up dull
children , puts new flesh on thin
ones and red blood into pale
ones. It makes children grow }
Scott's Emulsion makes ordinary -
nary food do its ,
duty. j
