NO. 37 LIFE ON HIE ROAD THE UPS AND DOWNS OF TRAMP- DOM. As Seen by Leslie Flint, of Nashville, A Boy Reporter. Who has Tramped Over Most of the Country Not the least interesting part of the sights at Old Panama are the negroes who live in the vicinity and who act as guides to visitors. These negroes live in huts built of palm logs and their en­ tire furniture would be very dear at ten dollars. It generally consists of some baskets and jars, a hammock, a bench to sleep on, an iron pot for cooking purposes, and a few other less import­ ant utensils. The negroes only cloth­ ing is a strip of cloth around the waist and a pair of sandals on the feet, but they sometimes wear a hat to be more fully dressed. They generally have a small patch of sugar-cane and bananas; the bay supplies them with fish ; the beach affords plenty of oysters, shrimps and mussels, and the money obtained from visitors is enough to buy their tobacco and other necessary trifles, which they procure in an oc­ casional trip to Panama. Having received an invitation, I vis­ ited one of these negro huts, and will say that a royal personage in his palace could hot' have been more polite than was this dark-skinned hermit. With true Spanish politeness he informed me that the hut and contents were mine, but I guess I wouldn’t have been much richer had I taken him at bis word. While at the hut he asked me to par­ take of some chichi I didn’t have the slightest idea of what chichi was like, but as I wished to gratify my curiosity, I, of course, consented. I found it to be the juice of the sugar-cane, and a favor­ ite beverage in that region, which is very refreshing to the drinker. Another interesting place to visit is the old bridge or the “Punta de Embarcadero,” which is said to have been the point where boats came to discharge . ar receive their cargoes. Tho stream .over which the bridge is built is about thirty feet wide. It is full only at high tide, and is more an arm of the sea than a flowing stream. The bridge is built of hewn stone and is constructed with a single arch. Aft* a well spent day at Uld Pana­ ma, i returned to modem Panama, where I remained for two days. The next morning after my return from Panama I was very fortunate in get­ ting an invitation to take a day’s ride on the Bay of Panama with a party of American tourists. As our yacht mov­ ed steadily through the blue waters of the bay all aboard regarded with close attention the beautiful panorama that passed before our eyes. The land was plainly seen on both sides of our course, the peninsula on the right, and the mainland of South America on the left; the horizon to the eastward was filled with the chain of the Cordilleras, which increase in height farther to the south and form the lofty peaks of the Andes mountains. The Gulf of San Blas and other less important indenta­ tions, which have been largely discussed * in connection with the interoceanic canal, were plainly seen during the voyage. The Bay of Panama is about •ne hundred and ten milee long, and at its mouth its width is a little more than that distance. After spending a very pleasant day on the bay, we re­ turned to Panama, where I immediate­ ly began makirfg preparations to go back to Aspinwall, for which city I left the next afternoon. During the journey back to Aspin­ wall one of the party of tourists who were on the train told me how the na­ tives of the country around Gatun had their first view of a locomotive. The track had been completed to that point, and a day was set for running the first engine over the. line. People came from a great distance. They had heard of the wonderful stories of the witchcraft of these white strangers, and there was a great curiosity to know about them. There was an immense crowd, and at the appointed time the locomotive came in sight* puffing vigor­ ously and emitting clouds of steam and smoke. There was great excite­ ment, which reached the pitch of ter­ ror when the “creature” came into the midst. of the crowd, Mid the whistle was blown. The whole crowd fled to the river, and many of them jumped in, expecting they would be nursued by the monster, and possibly devoured. Finding it did not follow them, they gathered courage and re assembled, but stood at a safe distance, ready to run again, if necessary. They sfat forward their priest to examine the animal; he surveyed it carefully, and then informed his followers that it was not an animal, but a machine, in which there was a veritable demon crank which propelled it. The ex­ planation was sufficient; the good prieet knew that it would be more than hopeless to attempt to enlighten the natives on the uses of steam, and found the demon story to be the short­ est way out of the difficulty. It is just possible, however, that the priest was not exactly up to date on natural philosophy, and his explanation may have been the honest result of his ob­ servation. I reached Aspinwall after a few hours ride. 1 spent two days in that place, waiting for a boat sailing south­ the third ward. On the morning of.................. day I embarked on an ocean liner for La Guaray, Venezuela, bound South America. The course of the steamer carried us away from the land, and bef ore we had been long under way the latter was only dimly visible. It vanished with the sun, and by the following morning it was far behind, and the beautiful blue waters of the Atlantic ocean filled the horizon north, south, east and west. Leslie Flint. (Continued.) . $1,000 tn Prizes. The dual purpose or “farmer’s cow” has been argued up one aide and down the other for years, some arguing for a special dairy breed and others arguing for a special beef breed, yet a large ma­ jority believing that in one cow could be combined the qualities of butter and beef making so as to make her the most profitable for the general farmer. At last a grand test is to be made. The great Union Stock Yards Co., of Chicago, has just announced that at the international live stock show to be held^n'Dec. 1902 it will give 81,000 in prizes, 8300 to 1st, 8250 to 2d, 8200 to 3d, 8150 to 4th, 8100 to 5th for the best dual purpose cow, competition limited to pure-bred animals The rules sur­ rounding this offer are somewhat lengthy’and can be found in the Breed­ er’s Gazette of Jany. 1st. Suffice it to say that the cow must be accompanied by her calf under two years old, cow to ba judged byjher individual excellence, by her butter record, and by the indiv­ idual merit of her calf. The dairy record of the cow shall cover a certain period and tests be made during that time by a duly authorized representa­ tive of the State Agricultural College in the state where the cow is owned. It is needlees to say that this will be a great contest and the animals shown in this class alone will be worth going miles to see. W. H. Schantz. Hastings Women’s Club. An entertainment course arranged under the auspices of the Hastings Women’s Club will be held at Reed’s Auditorium. The following will com­ prise this season’s attractions: The Ottumwa Male Quartette; Lecture by James Hedley; Ritchie’s Unique En­ tertainer’s; Imperia) Hand Bell Ring­ ers; Impersonator Melvin Robinson, in “David Copperfield.” - We believe the Club has reason to congratulate itself upon being able to secure at this late date so desirable a course, as many press notices claim for them superior ability. The date of the first entertainment, The Ottumwa Male Quartette, will be Jan. 18. ^Ottumwa is the beautiful Indian name for rip­ pling water, as indicative of the thrill­ ing power and tender sweetness of the music. Price of course tickets 81.00; students’ tickets, 75c; single admission, 25c. Reserved seats at 10c each will be on sale at Fred L. Heath’s. Obituary.

The board of supervisor, convened Monday and all were present except Supervisor Hlues, of Woodland, who had. become so engrossed with work that he had forgotten all about the session until he received a dispatch from some of his friends, on account of which he has had to endure a little good-natured “Joshing” from the other members. There is nothing of especial moment to come before the Board this session, probably the most important being the proposed construction of a bridge across the Thornapple river, between the townships of Rutland and Irving. The probability Is that the board wiB ukft no artion in regard to it as a mo­ tion to refer the matter to a committee was defeated. ANNUAL MEETING OF THE CVCLONE AND WIND' STORM INSURANCE CO.

This would be possible were it not for the abuses of the postal laws governing second class matter. Many fake ad­ vertising papers, books, novels, etc., put out by certain firms under the "names of papers, and every pound that ■goee out means a , net loss to the gov­ ernment of seven cents. The reforms begun by Postmaster General Smith ■should be contihued. • The postal reforms urged by Poet­ waster General Smith will be pushed "by his successor, and the President is reported to bd ardently in favor of Xhem. Cent; postage is one of them. For many years there has been a wide spread popular-desire to have the letter ]«6tage rate cu t to a cent. Both par­ ties have favored it in their national piatforms. 1'iere is no doubt that the reduction will be made at an early day, though possibljr it may not be accom­ plished in this session of Congress. The great increase in the number of letters, which the reduction from the 3|to the 2 cent mark caused would be repeated, it is reasonable to suppose, by a;out to a one dent rate. In Che political fight in Ohio between the Hanna and Foraker forces for the control of tho legislature, the Hanna forces won and McKinnon, the Hanna candidate for Speaker, was elected over Price, the Foraker candidate. Foraker vhlr be elected as' United States Sena­ tor to succeed himself. The whole con­ troversy rose orer an attempt by For­ aker to control the political machinery of the state, pbrhaps with the ultimate view of defeating Hanna for the Sen­ ate a couple of years hence. As usual •opr Uncle Marcus was right on hand» and when the Wily Foraker thought that he had the situation buttoned up 10 suit himself, Marcus proceeded to demonstrate in a very emphatic man-, npr that he proposed to have a hand in <4>e “buttoning” process himself. Two years, two months, and four days after the first clash of arms In the Anglo-Boer war General De Wet cap­ tured »n important British poet and 400 men. This is the latest Incident In a war which the English people be­ lieved would be fought to an end In six months. Twenty-six months have passed since the engagement at New Castle, months in which hard battles have been fought, in which British columns have overrun the Orange Free State and yet the Boers are taking the offensive against British fortified campe in tbe Kroonstadand Bethlehem district, from which they were driven in August, FJOa Under theAiffi rules and circum­ stances of War, boetilitiee would have ended with the dispersal of the Boer armies In September, 1900. At that time the British were in possession of every strategic point in the Orange Free States. They held Pretoria, Johannes­ burg, and every line of railroad in the Transvaal, and the Boer armies seemed incapable of making further resistance. Yet the war has gone on, the Boers adopting new methods with every change in the situation. At tbe begining of the war they advanced boldly into Natal and Cape Colony. They drove the British army on the right and stubbornly resisted the general advance on the left. They took the initiative and followed i it up and In December, 1901, they are pursuing the same policy. This last engagement was not a mere skirmish. It was a well planned at­ tack and an important strategic p^int. Some months, ago General Kitchener adopted General Sherman’s blockhouse idea for defending his lines of com­ munication and the territory in his rear against Boer raids. A line of blockhouses was to extend from Vereeniniug, where the Johonneeburg railroad crosses the Vaal river, southward to1 Kroonstad on the same railway. Anbther line of blockhouses was to extend from Kroonstad 150 miles east of Harrismith; on the rail­ road extending from the Orange Free State from Van Reenen’s Pass to Lady­ smith. Another line was to extend from Harrismith northward to Volksrust, on the Johannesburg & Ladysmith rail­ way, just north of Laing’s Nek. From there the line was to extend westward to Veroeninging, .making a great quad- j rilateral, inclosing nearly 30,000 square miles of territory, which, it was be­ lieved, could be guarded by the block­ houses against al! Boer operations. General I DeWet struck at this forti­ fied line between Bethlehem and Lind­ ley and broke it. He attacked a Brit­ ish detachment 400 strong on Christ­ mas eve, and captured men and guns and other war material. His success shows that there is still a strong Boer column in the field in striking distance of two lines of railway. It shows that Boer alertness and boldness are a match for British numbers and cour­ age. It shows also that a fortified line can be penetrated by a Boer column.— Inter Ocean. Senator Hanna’s Ambition. .Senator Hanna says his great ambi­ tion is to end wars of labor and capital and there is an almost unanimous hope that his wishes will be fulfilled. He said: “I would rather have the credit of mak­ ing a successful movement to bring labor and capital into closer relations of confidence and reliance than be the president of the United States. If by resigning my seat to the senate I could bring to fruition plans that we are now fostering to make strikes, lockouts and great labor dispute* Im­ possible, I would gladly do so. I think it is the grandest thing that could be accomplished in this country. I would want no greater monument than to have the world remember that I did something to end wars between Amer­ ican labor and American capital.” We believe the above to be the heart­ felt expression of a man who has been more unjustly criticised, more bitterly maligned, than any man in public life perhaps in the history of the country. Senator Hanna's ambition is a most laudable one, and with his wide exper­ ience as a business man and as a politi­ cian we know of no man who is better fitted to accomplish what he deairee to do than he. A Great Year in Business. •In its financial activities 1901 has ueen the greatest year in America’s history. The dispureements which will be made a few days hence on aci M*ount of interest and dividends in New York are put at S175,000,000. Of course there will Le-a large outlay from these sources in the other great financial renters, especially in Boston, Phila­ delphia, Chicago and SL Louis, but these in the aggregate will not equal the New York total. In each of those cities, however, the biggest records of the past will be beaten in the disdursemeats in the first week or ten days in January.

As far as we know, or can learn, the high school scholars have acted honorably through­ out the contest, but the heavy vote of the past few weeks would indicate that some of its friends had resorted to un­ fair means, doubtless justifying their actions by the fraudulent tickets voted for a rival contestant. We feel now, as was stated several weeks ago, that it would have been better to have drop­ ped both contests and given the pianos for some public or charitable purpose. * On a straight, clean, fair and square contest the High school would doubt­ less .have won. But the contests are over, the prizes awarded, and here’s hoping that many moons will pass be­ fore there will be any more voting contests. Mrs. Jane McArthur, on Tuesday morning, took quite a quantity of car­ bolic acid, through mistake, and but for tbe timely assistance ot her physi­ cian, Dr. Parkhurst, she probably tfould have experienced serious results. Mts. McArthur had not been feeling well for about a week, from the effects of falling and fracturing one of her ribs. Mrs. Phoebe Cobb had been stay­ ing with her for a time, but was busy in an adjoining room when Mrs. Mc­ Arthur took the poison. Mrs. Cobb, on entering the room, smelled the acid, and asked Mrs. M. what she was doing with it, when she replied that she had taken a little, thinking it to be some medicine that she was in the habit of taking. Although the bottle was label­ ed, Mrs. McArthur, feeling badly, did not notice it Mrs. Cobb immediately telephoned the doctor, who soon ar­ rived, and has been able to bring her through the crisis, and to-day, Thurs­ day, she is doing nicely and will toon be able to sit up.-MiddterUte Sun.

X The friends of^Dr. C. W. Young, of Allegan, will regret to learn that his home ip Allegan was visited by Ore Monday morning, and his household effects, library, china etc., practically ruined. The fire was discovered about eight o’clock in.the morning, the origin of the fire being unknown. The dam­ age was mostly through smoke and water. The Dr. carried insurance, but whether enough to cover the loss or not, we did not learn. Saturday night someone entered W. H. Goodyear’s drug store through a basement window and stole between $2 and S3 in cash from the cash regis­ ter, and about 810 worth of cigars. In the effort Jo get the cash, the cash regis­ ter was broken and mined, which con­ stitutes the greatest loss. Some imple­ ments that were used were left behind by the burglars, but as yet there are no positive clues. The way in which everything was done indicates that the work was done by some local amateurs, and the footprints point to quite youth­ ful amateurs at that. Since the old mill pond went away there has been no decent, or safe, place for the boys to skate that is at all con­ venient to the city. About the only place that the boys have to skate oil Is the river, which is usually frozen only along the edges, and is always unsafe, owing to undercurrents which cut the ice from underneath. None of the boys have yet been drowned, but a fatal ac­ cident may be expected most arfy day from skating on tbe river. This city could provide a good place for the bays to skate at very little expense by flooding the fair ground, or some of the low lands, with dity water and let­ ting it freeze. Skating is one of the most healthful and enjoyable exercises that a young boy can indulge in, and providing a free skating park in the way above suggested will do away with any possible danger. There are doubtless several places that could be secured for such a skating park and the good that it would do could not be estimated. Friday evening Dec. 27th last, Fred Otis, township treasurer of Rutland township, was the victim of a robbery that is puzzling Die officers somewhat. Mr. Otis had been receiving taxes dur­ ing the day and had deposited the money in the bank.

In the evening of that day the family all socU1’ previous to xmcealed them in an up stain room on t joist, behind a lot of bottles, the home. He also left his pocketbook on the table. When Mr. Otis had occasion to use the money It was missing, and no trace of it has been found. Some thief had entered the house during the absence of the family, and doubtless being aware of the general location ot the hiding place, found tbe money and took It, together with tbe pocketbook, and the contents of some little banks belonging to hts children.

Is Framed by Paoifio Com* Ban Francisco, Jan. 4.—Ths col­ lision at sea early Thursday morning between the steamship Walla Walla and an unknown sailing vseeel result­ ed in the sinking of the steamship and the probable loss of at least 10 lives. The Walla Walla, owned by the Pa­ cific Coast Steamship Co., sailed from San Francisco Jan. 1 for Puget Sound ports. She carried 36 first-class pas­ sengers, 28 second-class and a crew of 80. men. When off Cape Mendocino on the California coast at 4:10 o’clock Thurs­ day morning an Iron bark, believed to be French, loomed up In tho haze and crashed into the Walla Walia's bow. Then the sailing vessel slid off Into the darkness, and It was seen no more. All the passengers and crew of the Walla Walla, except the few on watch, were asleep. The steerage quarters were in the bow, and It is believed that some of tho steerage passengers and crew were crushed to death. A big hole waa made in the steamer's bow, and she sank In 35 minutes. The officers and crew maintained strict dis­ cipline and boats and life rafts were lowered. All who were not killed In the collleion got off. The Walla Walla was valued at about 1250,000. She waa formerly used as a collier, and about 10 years ago was converted into a passenger ves­ sel st a cost of *175,000. The vessel was Insured for about >200,000. San Francisco, Jan. 6.—The French bark Max, which collided with the steamship Walla Walla early Thurs­ day morning, is being towed to this city tn a badly disabled condition- The steamer George W. Elder, from Port­ land. reports that she passed the Max Bunday morning In tow of the steam­ er Acme and the United States rev­ enue cutter McCulloch, 18 miles north­ west of Point Rsyee. The Max’s bow­ sprit was carried away and her bow was stove In, both above and below the water line. Her water tight com­ partments alone were keeping her afloat Ninety-two survivors of the Walla Walla have arrived .here from Eureka on the steamer Pomona. There Is still some discrepancy In- the list of dead and missing. This discrepancy is due to the fact that several passen­ gers boarded the vessel just as she was leaving port. Others who were traveling second-class gav0 assumed names In order to hide their Identity. By striking what are possible dupli­ cates. the number of lost stands at 42. classed aa follows: Known deed. 9; missing, passengers, 13; crew, 20.

Not least in this array are the suggestions of the Boston Cooking School Magasine, among which occur the following: Creamed Celery In a Cheese Sbell Cut the cleaned celery stalks In pieces an inch long and let cook in boiling water to cover until tender. For three cups of pieces make a pint of white sauce, using the water in which the celery was cooked, with cream as the liquid. Turn into the shell of an edam cheese, cover the top with half a cup of cracker crumbs, mixed with two ta­ blespoonfuls of melted butter, and let brown in the oven. Serve a slight scraping of cheese with each service of celery. Open Cranberry Tartlets.—Roll puff or plain paste into a thin sheet and cut rounds that will fit over small inverted tins. Press the paste lightly upon the tins, prick repeatedly, chill and bake. Remove from the tins and fill with the following mixture: Place in the center of each a figure cut from the paste and baked, or bake the paste on a large tin and finish like the tartlets. As a fill­ ing for the tartlets or pie mix onefourth of a cup of cornstarch with two cups of sugar. Pour over one cup of boiling water and stir until boiling. Then add half a cup of molasses, half a teaspoonful of salt and one quart of cranberries, chopped fine. Stir and cook until the mixture becomes thick. 2_. .

IL Towle In American Cultivator. The stables should be sufficiently Warm, but not close and uuventllated, aud there should be plenty of light for all purposes. A dark, low, bad smell­ ing stable Is au abomination to mhn and beast and when the nights get cold or there are bad storms the cows will be much better off In the stable than out of doors and will exhibit their appreciation of such comfortable quarters by great contentment and in­ creased yield of milk. Another thing. It Is not wise to un­ dertake to winter more stock than can be well kept and cared for. as this Is neither pleasant nor profitable. Young animals should be kept thrifty and growing all winter, and cows giving milk should receive the best of atten­ tion In care and feed, so they may give satisfactory returns at the palL Aside from the stables for the cows and most of the young cattle, it will be very convenient to have several pens, which may be used for a variety of purposes, as needed. Thia will be found a most convenient arrangement We find It better to tie calves from six months to a year old In a stable, the same as other cattle. They learn to be­ come quiet In this way and can be more satisfactorily fed than when sev­ eral are In a pen together. Hundreds of farmers have been swindled by the lightning rod agents, paying for the rods much more than a fair price and In some cases giving notes for them when they thought that they were only signing a receipt for a certain amount of rod, which would be removed if they were not satisfied to keep It at the end of a certain time. But this does not disprove the efficacy of the rod to protect from lightning when It la properly put on and connect­ ed with the moisture In the earth. A lightning rod or a conductor should run from every wire fence about once In fifteen or twenty rods, going six or seven feet Into the earth, as the elec­ tricity often follows the wires for a considerable djstance and when it leaves them may go several rods along the surface of the ground to reach man or beast 0K-1 It Is claimed that the cream of two ft.

That party served the people beat, which honestly and conscientiously at­ tempts to carry out the wishes of the people; that party is strongest and best which maps out policies best adapted to the national welfare and conscien­ tiously carries out those policies. The people of thia country and this state overwhelmingly endorsed the wise ad­ ministration of President McKinley, and two years ago, not desiring to dis­ turb conditions as they then existed, voted the republican ticket straight, holding their noses when it came to an endorsement of state affairs. This year, it must be remembered, there will be no national election. There will be no McKinley or Roosevelt to strengthen the ticket, and the repuolican party must go before the people on state issues, and stand or fall by them. With all the glories of the past; with the recollection of many illustrious men, who honored the highest office of the state, and served the people well, can it afford to go before the people aud decently ask for an endorsement of an official teeming with the scent of purchased delegates and boodle-packe4 caucuses?

"Tbe burning of aluminium gives sapphires and rubles in the place of ashes.” An instance of burning metal for tbe sake of light is furnished by the majgnesluru star, says The Yonth’s Companion, a contrivance by which a shell packed with magnesium and attached to a parachute is fired electrically high in the air, thus pro­ ducing an illumination of the ground beneath at night and discovery of a soft coal basin at Asch, in the province of Llmbourg, a few miles to the north of Liege.

They take Immediately to their berths, where, they grumble and groan until they are well enough to go on deck again. A woman fights tbe unpleasant malady until she can fight no longer. Then she becomes maudlin and pathetic. She retires to her room and Invariably asks three questionsfirst, whether people die of seasick­ ness: then, how many miles we are from shore and when we shall get there. Professor Heins of the’tJnlverslty of Erlangen claims to have discovered an infallible and very simple antidote against seasickness. “Draw a long and vigorous breath at frequent intervals,” be says, “and you will never suffer from thia mal­ ady.” The reason, be explains, is because tbe Initial cause of seasickness is to be found in a lobe of the brain, tbe sensitiveness of which reacts on the stomach, and that when Afresh air is breathed at frequent Intervals the blood becomes charged with oxygen, and thus the offending lobe- loses Its sens! tiveu ess. He adds that he has made several experiments on himself for the pur­ pose of proving the efficacy of thia novel remedy and has also completely cured several persons who used to be seasick whenever they went on the water. Finally he points out that the antidote costs nothing and can be test­ ed by any one. "Only a few weeks ago," said a man who does collecting for a big busk nesa house In the city. “I had to call on a delinquent. He was a man of standing. I made bold to venture that he was something like three months tardy. I noticed his right hand was In a sling. “ ‘Why,’ he began, ‘do you know I am very sorry, but I’ve had an acci­ dent to my hand,* and here he made a great show of his wounded member, ‘and I haven't been able to sign any checks lately.' "Now. of course,” the collector con­ tinued. “I get all kinds of excuses from all kinds of people. Some say they are very busy, some say they are temporarily pinched and confidingly plead for mercy, but if any one j>ad advanced any such excuse as a wotanded hand I’ve had taken it as a bit ot irony—had I not beard tbe man and seen from his face that he expected that the excuse would be good.

Pratt, Who Wu Jailed for Refusing to Testify. HE GOT THIRTY DAYS This Happened Last Wednesday— Majority of Court Decided Upon His Release—No Opinion Was! Given— Other Cases May Be Dropped. Lansing, Mich., Jan.'21.—On a writ of habeas corpus the supreme court, yesterday released Charles H. Pratt, who was committed by Judge Wiest last Wednesday for refusing to testi­ fy in the Adams case. Pratt’s attor­ neys contended that he was Irregularup subpenaed as a witness, having been brought into the state by order of the court for a different purpose, and furthermore, that he could not be made to disclose the secrets of the grand jury room nor forced to testify iq view of his claim of constitutional privilege. The court promptly upheld the reg­ ularity of the subpena, and at the con­ clusion of the hearing, which took about an hour, took tbe matter under advisement. Late yesterday afternoon the dis­ charge was ordered. No opinion was filed, Chief Justice Hooker simply handing Clerk Hopkins the following memoranda: “A majority of the court think that the prisoner should be discharged upon the ground that the question (asked by the prosecution, and which Pratt refused to answer) called for testimony concerning what occurred before the grand Jury. All concur that he should be discharged." This would indicate that while all the Justices were not agreed that the question asked called for a disclosure of grand Jury secrets, yet all were agreed that Pratt had not waived his right under the constitution. It is believed that the failure to force Pratt to testify means that the cases against French and Adams will end, although this cannot be deter­ mined until the Adams case is called at Mason, Wednesday morning. Pratt's refusal to testify was due to the ad­ vice of his own attorneys, who did not propose to have him say anything that might tend to incriminate him in view of the fact that they expect that the supreme court will grant him a new trial. Adams’s attorneys say that they were perfectly willing to have Pratt tell all he said to the grand Jurors or anyone else, their claim being that he never said to anyone that he of­ fered Adams a bribe of any kind. The court also discharged Maggie Sotter, who was last week s*»nt to Jail by the Sanilac clrcuh judge fdr re­ fusing to testify in a case wherin her father was charged with assault she being his alleged victim. The court held that the constitutional privilege was not waived by making the com- < plaint against the father. Justice Grant reserved his decision. Old Land Marks at Detroit Took a Sudden Tumble. Detroit, Mich., Jan. 20.—Four old­ time buildings on Jefferson avenue, occupying a frontage uf 86 feet and cornering on Shelby street, collapsed last evening at 7:53 o’clock, carrying with them >175,000 worth of groceries, gloves, caps and other wholesale Itock. A sharp report as of exploding j.aB, followed instantly by a cloud of debris and fine dust, which shot across Jefferaon avenue to the opposite side of the street, was succeeded by the dull hollow roar ot falling brick and the cracking sound of breaking tim­ bers. The wind which blew the flying dust away fanned the smoky ruins into flames, and broken gas pipes added to the fuel. An alarm of fire was turned in and five minutes later the streams began to pldy upon the ruins. The collapse is supposed to have been caused by an explosion of gas in the corner building, at 116 Jeffer­ son avenue, occupied by the Maddock Glove Co. and the Imperial Hat Co. Tbe losses in stock and buildings Igiil total nearly >200,000. The buildings were occupied by the Maddock Glove Co., the Imperial Cap Co., F. B. Neuhoff & Co., commission brokers; Hill Bros., fancy grocers, and the Michigan Produce Co. NEW FREE DELIVERY ROUTES. Michigan Gets Several Moro—Several Postoffice Change*. Washington, D.

The transfer would give title to all the land now held by both the Panama Canal company and the Panama Rail­ road company, which covers nearly all lands required for the construction of the canal. The land held by private parties at Nicaragua must be acquired and ita acquistion may prove expen­ sive. The estimated cost of constructing tbe Nicaragua canal Is >45,630,704 more than the cost of completing the Panama canal. The estimated annual cost of main­ tenance and operation is >1,300,000 greater at Nicaragua than at Panama. The Panama route would be 134.6 miles shorter than the Nicaragua route from sea to sea, with fewer locks and less curvature, both in degrees and miles. The estimated time for a deep draft vessel to pass through tbe Nicaragua canal was placed at 33 hours, as against 12 hours for Pana­ ma, these estimates being the time of actual navigation and not including delays for winds, currents or dark* * * HINKLEY BONE LINIMENT COMPANY, ANNUAL STATEH ENT OF THE Michigan Mutual Tornado, Cyclone and Wind-Storm Insurance Company, For the Year Ending December 31, 1901.

He may never do anything to earn his free pass but, if he is intelligent, he certainly must understand that the company ex­ pats him to, whenever the opportunity presents itself.

Members of the legislature make more frequent trips to their homes, vote for junketing tours about the state, neg­ lect public business and increase the pnblteqxpendfture on account of their being able to ride on free passes and then collect their mileage from the state. It is also supposed that these free passes will influence the members of the legislature, judges, etc., to look with favor on the side of all questions iu which railroad interests lie.

With cracking whip, tugging trace, sonorous blasphemy, and ringing ihout, the long train is whiffing ahead slmortt at the run. All is athrill with excitement, and bearded faces have a Jtrange, set look about the jaws, and syce gleam with eager light and peer searchingly from every rise far over to the southeast, where stands a tumbling heap of lulls against die lightening sky. •Off there, are they?” says a burly trooper, dismounting hastily to tighten up the ‘•cinch” of his weather beaten liddle. “We can make it quick enough, h soon as we get rid of three blasted wagons.” And. swinging into saddle again, he goes cantering down the slope, his charger snorting with exhilaration in the keen morning air. Before dawn a courier has galloped Into camp, bearing a dispatch from the commanding officer of the Riflera. It says but few words, but they are full of meaning: “We have found a big party of hostilea. They are in strong position, and have us at disadvantage Raynci with his four companies is hurrying to us Leave all wagons with the boat under guard, and come with every horse and man you can bring.” Before 7 o'clock the wagons are parked close along the bank beside the Far West, and Hull, with all the men he can muster—some fifty—is trotting ahead on the trail of Rayner’s battalion. With him rides Mr. Bayne, eager and en­ thusiastic. Before 10 o'clock, far up along the slopes they see the blue line of skirmishers, and the knots of reserves farther down, all at a stand. In ten minutes they ride with foaming reins in behind a low ridge on which, flat on their faces and cautiously peering over the crest, some hundred infantrymen are disposed Others, officers and tile closers, are moving to and fro in rear. They are of Rayner's battalion. Far­ ther back, down in a ravine, a dozen forms are outstretched upon the turf, and othera are bending over them, min­ istering to the needs of those who are not past help already. Several officers crowd around the leading horsemen and Hull orders: “Halt, dismount and loosen girths.” The grave faces show that the infantry has had poor luck, and the sit­ uation is summarized in a few words The Indians are in force occupying the ravines and ridges opposite them and confronting the six companies farther over to the west. Two attacks have been made, but the Indian fire swept every approach, and both were unsuccessful. Several soldiers were shot dead, others severely wounded. Lieut. Warren’* leg is shattered below the knee; Capt. Blount is killed. “Where’s Rayner?” asks Hull, with grave face. * “Just gone off with the chief to look at things over on the ocher front The colonel is bopping. He is bound to have those Indians out of there or drop a-trying. They’ll be back In a minute.

Hayne watches; him with kindling eye. ■‘You'll take me ta with you when you charge?” he asks. “It Is no place to charge there. The ground is all cut up with ravines and gullies, and they’ve got a errea fire that •weeps it clean We U probably go in on the other flank; it's more open there Here come, the chief now."

The walls and towers are so overgrown with mosses and vines that, in many places, the ruins are completely hidden from sight The city was evidently built to last, as the walls are all mass­ ive qnd the stones squarely cut, but the attack by Morgan and the work of rapid growing tropical vegetation have practically ruined it One otf the most interesting relics of Old Panuma is the watch-tower of San Jerome, which is said to have been built only a short time before the city’s capture and destruction. It is a square tower, about 80 ft, high, covered with mosses and creepers, and there are trees and shrubs growing on the top. The tower was intended as a signal station, from which vessels approach­ ing Panama could be descried. It is now the only part of the old city that is visible as you look from the beach or from a boat in the bay. Everything else is covered with tropical forest which has been undisturbed for over two hundred yea.'s. I^eblie Flint. HA5TINOS, MICHIGAN, JANUARY 2. 1902._______________ .

GENTLEMAN Under Very Peculiar and Embarrass­ ing Circumstances, While on their Way to Visit Hudson Friends. Numerous inquiries concerning the standing of insurance companies which have been received by Commissioner of insurance Barry from property own­ ers iu various parts of the state reveal the fact that a number of wildcat, irre­ sponsible companies are seeking busi­ ness in Michigan by correspondence. None of the companies to which refer­ ence is made are authorized to do busi­ ness in Michigan., The commissioner deems it his duty to inform the Michi­ gan public that these companies are unworthy of their confidence, and that Michigan citizens who do business with them will be entirely at their mercy in ease of loss, there being no responsibili­ ty of securing service of process upon them in this state. In several instances where some of this class of companies has done busi­ ness and a loss has ensued, the payment has been refused, and the insured have commenced suit against the Michigan parties who acted as medium between them and the companies in placing the insurance. The Michigan department is clearly of the opinion that Michigan agents who place insurance for these wildcat companies are directly respon­ sible to the insured in case of loss. . The following is a list of the com­ panies to which reference is made, as far as is known: New York Fire Underwriters Lloyds; Manufacturers of New YbrkjStuyvesant, of New York; Indiana, of Indianapolis; Commercial, of Indianapolis; Fire Association, of New York; Georgia Industrial Insur­ ance Co., of Atlanta; Central Insurance Co., of Chicago; Commercial Insurance Co., of Philadelphia; Germania Fire In­ surance Co., of Chicago; American Un­ derwriters; Mercantile Fire and Marine of Washington, D.

The sheets of paper, already counted twice and placed in uniform packages at the pa­ per mill, are stored in a Treasury vault and issued to the Bureau of Engraving and printing as wanted. Before leav­ ing the treasury they are counted three times more, and the receiving official at the Bureau must receipt for them. Then the bundles are unwrapped and the sheets are counted - twenty-eight times by a corps of women. This is to insure that each printer gets the record­ ed number—no more, no lees. If one sheet of this precious paper be lost the entire force of men and women having access to the room where the misplace­ ment has occurred are kept in, like so many school children, to find it Each sheet is issued from the vault for the printing of a definite amount of money upon it If the lost sheet were intend­ ed to ultimately represent four thous­ and dollars worth of notes the groupe of employees to whom the responsi­ bility of its misplacement has been traced must make good that amount if they cannot locate it within a rea­ sonable time.

The Michigan Central now has the regulation double-track from Detroit to Jackson, 74 miles, and from Nites to Chicago. 84jniles, a total of 170 miles. Between Jackson and Niles there are two tracks, |he main and air Hoe, but separated by; several miles In places. The main line is reserved for passenger and the air lide for freight trains. Mr. Hail says' that with double tracks at the east and west sections of the road and the two tracks through the central section the Michigan Cen­ tral is now enabled to operate, its trains, both! passenger and freight, with greater safety and accuracy to sebednies. Between Detroit and Jackson and les and Chicago tratna going in op te directions do not now have to take sidings to allow one or the other to With only passenger trains runni on the main line on regular schedules the passing points are well established and the dispatcher is rarely called upon to change them. It is also easier to handle the freight trains grouped upon the air line track.

If handwriting Is an index to char* acter, American women are all getting to be exactly alike.' Every fashionable woman now writes the angular English hand, and others are cultivating IL Good form decrees that paper, ink and wax must be of a certain style, and this, taken In conjunction with the similarity of penmanship, makes one fashionable woman’s letter resemble another’s almost exactly. The angular writing possesses one merit, that of being easily distinguish­ able. Contrasted with the fine, light, slanting Italian handwriting that was the fashion for women 30 or 40 years ago, the writing of the modern woman shows a remarkable change. Even 10 or 15 years ago the schoolgirl who wrote with a heavy black stroke of the pen was considered at fault, while ex­ tremely light or delicately shaded Spen­ cerian penmanship was commended as perfect. But all that Is changed nowadays. The blacker the writing the more char­ acter It Is supposed to possess, just as the sketches of some artists who are lavish with their India Ink are rated as strong. Shading has gone out entirely. It was quite a fad with women of long ago to cross their four and five page letters of finely traced writing. Such a letter today woukf be undeci­ pherable to modern eyes. There Is no need for the average wo­ man to cross her letters nowadays, as they are as brief as possible. The long, soulful outpourings with pen and ink between women friends are no longer Indulged In. It has been said that the art of letter writing has completely died out and that there are no more love let­ ters of the old sort written between be­ trothed couples. Even among women the telegraph and the telephone have done much to make letter writing as* It used to be practiced considered an out of date ac­ complishment. Moat women regard it as a bore to answer letters, and their time la taken up with so many occupa­ tions, studies-and pleasures that then is little left for the correspondence which used to ba one of the joys of Um old Caahionpd girt’s life. The feminine handwriting most char acterlstlc today la that of women In the professions. These women write tbet. own letters as a rule and are more ac­ customed to the pen than their society slaters. The handwriting of the women of the stage Is especially Interesting ai indicated In a collection of autographs. Women write with much more sell consciousness than men as a rule. Few men Indulge in the space or the ink that women squander on their names. But women write very legibly nowadays, ■ t W wonderfill how the Oil v takes the pair* out of the feet.

American manufacturers are throw­ ing foreigners into hysterics over trade extensions._________ ______ Every man who wants work can get U That is one of the characteristics of republican administrations. Speaking about trusts, the Wilson bill demonstrated fully that the demo­ crats would be very severe with them if they ever got a chance.

Only a few years ago democrats were saying that tin could not be manufac­ tured in this'eountry. At the present ktime there are 250 tin factories in the United States and they are all hum­ ming with orders. It is said that American tin manufacturers can un­ dersell foreigners in foreign markets. If that is true it is time to think about taking off the tariff on tin. ' We In this day of talk of reciprocity treaties and revision of the Tariff the crowded condition of the railroads and mills is suggestive. The railroads can­ not handle the traffic that is offered them for domestic buyers. The mills cannot make rails fast enough for the railroads. The car shops cannot make cars fast enough. The structural steel mills are crowded with the orders of home buyers. Bailroad building in the, United States is in a class by itself, as compared with the progress made by any other country. A nation of 76,001^ 000 people is as busy aa bees, manu­ facturing, transporting or producing marketable commodities. Of the total results the proportion that goes abroad to seek a market is trivial compared with that which seeks a market at home. Our mineral product exported equals 1 per cent, of the total output. Our agricultural exports, enormous as they are, do not equal in value^the com­ bined worth of the wheat and corn crops of the country. • We use at home ten times as much breadstuffs and meat products as we sell abroad. The for­ eign market is worth to the United States but a small percentage of what the domestic market is worth, and even that small percentage is lees profitable, because it is a market that must be fought for and coaxed continually, as against the competitors of the world The remarkable impetus that has been given the mills of the United States does not come from the foreign demand, but from the domestic wants. If the local needs keep on increasing, the com­ paratively small foreign market may have to be cut off until the home trade, is taken care of. The home market is the best market in the world and is steadily growing better, it has increased more in the past five years than the foreign market has In fifty years, and is capable of un­ limited expansion. It is the market to nurse for profit.—PttUbuvg'’Thne».r' The Sugar Trust is sending petitions to Congress to have the duty abolished on raw sugar.

' From ail appearance® it looks as if the people of Eaton County would be called upon to vote on local option again next spring. Local option once prevailed in Eaton county and the open, flagrant violations of the law that were repeatedly committed, led the people to vote to do away with it While saloons didn’t operate under that name under local option, yet the number of “drug stores" increased amazingly in the coun­ ty., W orse than these so we are informed, were the organization of “clubs" fre­ quented by both boys and men where booze was freely dispensed, which worked even greater harm than the open saloon. In every county where It has been tried, local option has been a rank failure and a curse. If public sentiment is not strong enough to en­ force the splendid liquor laws that we have In Michigan, it certainly will not enforce local option laws. If the laws that we have were enforced there would be few saloons and no drunkards; there would be no “treating" and the saloon would lose all of its charms. The best, the surest and the quickest way to do away with the liquor traffic is to teach: the rising generations the evil effects of indulgence in liquor. Human nature Is the same the world over. Tell a boy that he mustn't slide down a certain hill, and he will have a hankering to slide down that particular hill more than he ever did before. Toll Beet Sugar Lands. The following statistics gathered by the agricultural department of the state give something of an ‘idea of the rapid increase in the value of sugar beet lands around Bay City: If one is- to appreciate the value of the beet sugar industry to this com­ munity, one has but to look at real es­ tate values, particularly in farm lands, since the erection, of sugar factories. Farms that five years ago were burden­ ed with nortgagee are now free from debt, and worth anywhere from 25 per cent to 100 per cent more than before tho first crop of sugar beets was raised here. This is due in part to the in­ creased value of land itself, under in­ tense cultivation and diversified farm­ ing, brought about by the cultivation of sugar beets, and in part by the ready market now found for everything the farmer in these parts raises. The northern townships that were sparsely settled, and hardly opened, are now veritable bee hives of industry and are rapidly becoming the garden spot of the county. Many farmers are coming here from across the Canadian border, and from the southern part of the state. They buy a small acreage at first, but are year by year increasing their holding. This is shown by the unusual activity in property transfers as recorded in our register «f deed’s office. Not in years has there been such an active demand for farm property, and prices are being offered that a few years ago would have astonished the natives. In view of the increasing number of sugar factories, these things are now accepted as a matter of course. Out of 140 sugar beet raisers who recently an­ swered a set of questions for the en­ lightenment of the agricultural depart­ ment in this county and Saginaw, every mother’s son of them agreed that rais­ ing sugar beets also raised the value of farm property. They varied in their estimates of comparative values of sugar beets and other farm crops, but on this point they were all united." President Roosevelt’s recommenda­ tions as to irrigation are especially pleasing to those western states which have arid lands. Without irrigation they are nothing but desert wastes, but with water privileges they at once become the most productive lands in the country, and are capable of sus­ taining a large number of people. The democrats are branding the new Philippine tariff act as another step towards “imperialism." The epithets “gold bugs,” “bloated bond holders," “money power,’’ and many others have been worn threadbare, and the strictly new one of “imperialism" is decidedly welcome. Gen. R. A.

George Ostroth, a husky farmer of Maple Grove, had driven down some time ago and put out his team at “Toot” Beigh’s sheds. He went away without paying, and when Toot saw him In Moore's blacksmith shop Thursday he spoke to him about paying the ten cents.

Toot already had his pulled and when Ostroth made his onslaught Toot side-stepped and landed him a left bander, which sent the big Maple Grove farmer to grace. He recovered in a moment and when he waa able to rise started for Toot again, this time taking a stick of stove wood along with him. But he never got a chance to use It for he met that left hand again at dore quarters and he went down and out Bystanders kept Toot from annihilating his fallen foe, who Anally recovered and started up town, vowing to have Toot arrested.

Ilka. was insti­ tuted last night with more than 200 members. A banquet was held In the Light Inftntry armory at which 400 were seated. Delegations were pres­ ent from Detroit, Lansing, Bay City, Saginaw. . The Initiatory work was done by Detroit and Lansing, under the direction of Grand Deputy Lee of Detroit and Grand Secretary George 8. Reynolds of Saginaw. The Detroit crowd, 100 strong, ar­ rived In a (special car in the . afternoon and had a (lovely time. Headed by the Metropolitan band, they cakewalked down town and. breaking up Into small parties, made the rounds of the stores. Every pretty lady clerk and bookkeeper was tendered an informal but enthusiastic reception. The push then bought dozens of cow bells and whooped it up good and plenty. , An all-?lght senion ended the launching pf tne new lodge. The festivities were marred at 9 o'clock by a street fight in which Pearl Dwight, a well-known man, clerk in a local Clothing store, was serious­ ly injured.' Dwight resented the care­ less remark of a stranger to a young woman who was passing a crowd of men. The stranger promptly knocked Dwight down and kicked him terribly about the Head and ‘face. ” - *•then esHe caped unre^jcognlzed In the crowd. Doctors are working over the InJured man and the police are searching for his। assailant, who the visitors declare is not an Elk, but a local tough. At a banquet in the armory Jarrad A. Monroe;of Detroit No. 34, present­ ed the newly organized Owosso lodge with a beautiful silver and gold loving cup. The speech of acceptance ‘ made by Hon. H. S. Had sail of Owosso.

What proved to be one of the meet Interest­ tag features of the entire convention tame at the close when the symposi­ um on present educational problems was Introduced by the president More interesting than any other of the pa­ pers presented on account of the sub­ ject, perhaps, was that on “Adminis­ tration of Rural Schools," by Superin­ tendent of Public Instruction Delos Fall. "A great Impediment to progress un­ der our present system is the fact that the reports from school director* Show to a very great extent small schools prevail. Laat year 83 schools in the state had an average attend­ ance of three or less; over 400, an av­ erage of seven or less; and nearly 1,­ 000, an average of attendance of less than ten. In 1,004 schools containing an enrollment of 15 pulpils the aver­ age cost per pupil per month is $4.18. While the average coet per pupil per month in city schools varies, but in no case have wo found It more than 81.94. “The foregoing figures show that the people in the small rural districts are paying very much more per capita than the people In the cities, and at tho same time have but little more than one-half as much school. In my opinion the remedy Iles In the consol­ idation of districts, and the establish­ ment of central high schools. Three methods have been suggested by which the central high school may be realized. The first, which Is known as the Illinois plan, by which the smaller and weaker districts are consolidated so that the number iu each township shall be reduced to about four. A fifth district is made In ths center of the township, and a high school building erected large enough to accommodate the children of all grades who live In that district, and all the high school pupils from the entire township. “A second, known as the Ohio plan, consists of the abandonment of all the district schools in the township and the massing of all the pupils Into one central school. It has been found that this work can be done at an ex­ pense not exceeding the original cost of maintaining the separate district schools. After Beet Sugar Industry. Lansing, Mich., Dec. 28.—Gov. Bliss, has taken occasion to so^nd a warning note to the farmers of Michigan and of all other states Interested in thn development of the infant beet sugar industry. “The cane sugar manufac­ turers, or men operating in their in­ terests, are after the beet sugar farm­ ers and factories,“ he said, "and are apparently leaving ho atone unturned in order to win. They are resorting to ail sorts of tactics, and If they pur­ sue the same sort of a campaign at Washington it seems to me there will be lively doings. It behooves the beet sugar Interests to appeal to the peo­ ple and let them know all about the industry which Is having a life and death fight on its hands. I am sure that the farmera of the nation will never consent that the rapidly grow­ ing beet sugar industry shall be killed, for there Is nothing of more promis­ ing benefit to them—not only to them, but to all the people. “Look at thia," and the governor ex­ hibited a letter received from a coun­ try publisher, “Here ia a sample of the campaign being carried on against the beet sugar industry. The writer of the letter informs me that a certain Wall street flrm engaged in carrying on a fight against beet sugar, having found that the papers in the beet su­ gar states, particularly Michigan, were antagonizing their Cuban free sugar circulars, have contrived to have printed in the ‘patent insides* argu­ ments in behalf of greatly reducing the tariff on sugars from Cuba. Many country papers, the writer tells me, have been caught in this way. While their editorial columns were fighting im behalf of the beet sugar industry, their news columns were made to ap­ pear to be advocating free sugar. “Following up this campaign, the United States Export association, with offices in^New York, is addressing cir culars to weekly papers urging them to advocate free sugar and send marked copies of their papers to their senators and congressmen.

As Seen by Leslie Flint, of Nashville, A Boy Reporter. Who has Tramped Over Most of the Country When we reached a part of the forest where the birds and smaller animals were very plentiful, the chief made a sign to us to conceal ourselves in a slump of underbrush, which the whole party, with the exception of three hunters, immediately did. The three Indian, hunters were armed with blow­ guns, which are made of reeds, perfect­ ly siraight, and about ten feet long Powder is not used in theso guns; the Indians blow arrows through the reeds, and shoot in that way. The arrows are very pointed on one end, and have a tuft of cotton on the other to prevent the air from passing through the reed during the act of shooting. Thus •quipped one of the hunters took a position behind a bush, but in plain sight of our party, and waited for some kind of game to make its appearance. Finally an unsuspecting bird flew over sur heads and lodged in a tree about fifteen; or twenty yards away. The Ibdian raised the reed to his Bps, took aim and “fired.” The arrow went true to the mark, and pierced through the bird from side to side. The hunters re peatedI the experiment several times, and were always successful in killing their intended game. They can kill more birds in a day than an experienc­ ed hunter can bring down with a rifle. It is a good thing that these Indians do not live in Michigan, for if they •hould reside here any great length of time qur partridge and quail would ■oon be a thing of the past. For larger game, such as the capybara and tapir, whose skins are very tough, not allowmg che arrows to enter any vital spot, the Indians dip their arrow points in enrari, a kind of poison. If the arrow punctures the skin enough to allow the poison to enter the blood it fa “all •ff” with the animal. In a few short seconds be falls to the earth and dies in convulsions. One thing curious about animals killed in this manner is that their flesh is in no way tainted with this deadly South American poison. In handling the arrows great care has to be taken, as the slightest scratch with one of the poisoned pointe would •ause instant death. While we were armed with “the latest’’ of modern weapons, we deter­ mined to keep on the friendly side of the Indians and thus avoid making connections with any of the poisoned afrrows shot from the blow-gun. Most •f the Indians are skillful hunters and fishermen. They cultivate the soil oc oasionally. but it is a rare occurrence, depending for their vegetable 'food Thia upon the products of the forest particular tribe seemed to be quite civilized, and during our visit to their village made no attempt to harm ua in any way; in।fact, they did everything possible to gain our friendship. ■From the forest we returned to the village again, where we were given a jWiraiioiimsiimt mixture of sweetness and aciditi Some have called it “a masterwork nature,’’and still others, “a spiritualized strawberry,” so I guess my description of its taste can be easier imagined than ONE OF THE BEST EVER HELD IN written. ■ i ’ THE COUNTY. After; the banquet was finished we made an inspection of the village. The few huts comprising the town The Attendance Was Very Large and were built closely together, all being only'bne story high. We noticed that the few of the inhabitants who did wear clothes, were very particular in wearing as many different colored gar­ ments as possible. Occasionally we* saw a group of Indians without any clothing whatever, but the absence of’ their wardrobe was made up by a free1 use of polored paints. The common1 houses h$ve no fire-places or chimneys;: fires are built almost any place on the1 earthen floor, and the smoke is allowed to get out the best way it can. Leslie Flint. (Continued.) Communication. Editor of the Banner:— We have read w’th a great deal of pleasure your articles in the Banner recently, on the renomination of Gov. Bliss for another term. We were very glad to learn that there is one news-, paper at least which has the couragd of ito convictions, with no rope around Its neck, and is not controlled by the promise of boodle. We have fallen in very bad lines, money seems to be the controlling power of politics; offices ^re simply put up at auction and sold out to the highest bidder; fitness is compelled to take second place, unless the offer comes accompanied ■ with the requisite amount of boodle, the heeler laughs and declines the offer with thanks. These political buzzards have worked their way to the front, and are today in the lead and ready to holler themselves hoarse over any candidate, if he is only a good swag dispenser. We think we can safely say, that ail men, at least the great majority who put themselves into the hands of boodlers, and their thousands in their hands to secure their elections, Dut calculate to get their money all back by ,/lne hand manipulations dur­ ing their administrations. They cal­ culate it is merelv bread cast on the political waters to be returned to them before many days. This may not always be true, but I believe in most cases it is. It fa to be hoped that the -people will begin to see the necessity of taking politics out of the hands of these paid hirelings who are ever ready to holler for anybody, at so much a holler. The answer to the Banner’s article on the renominatfon of Gov. Bliss, by the Grand Rapids Herald was very amusing. The facts in the case as stated in the Banner's artie’e were so well known that the Herald did not dare to dispute them, and was com­ pelled to say “that money was used with great freedom in the last cam­ paign will be admitted, that it was used more freely , than it should have been used nobody will denjl”-^just what the Banner claimed. With such an admission of the Banner’s contention, it seems to me the Herald man should “go way back and sit down,” or still better, go alone into his sanctum, and there commune with the better genius of his nature, and blot out his attempt to hold up with one hand what he tries to knock down with the other. The Herald’s logic reminds me of a little incident in the life of Davy Crocket. “He said the clock at one time got badly out of repair, and his wife tried to fix it with the tongs, but he said the more she tried to fix it, the more it wouldn’t go.” Reader. banquet.

HA3TINO5, MICHIGAN, FEBRUARY 6, 1302. VOL. XLVI. NO. 41 UfE ON HIE ROAD __ --------------------------------- -- _____________ Much Enthusiasm Manifested at Each Session. The Barry County Teachers’ Inpiration Institute which was held in* this city last Thursday evening, Friday and Saturday was one of the most largely attended and most successful educational gatherings in the history of the county. Every session was brimful of good things and the spirit of inspira­ tion and enthusiasm aroused cannot but be beneficial to the schools of the county during the remainder of the year. The attendance at the day ses­ sions taxed the capacity of the high school room and the evening meetings were so largely attended that many had to go away, being unable to find either seats or standing room. . At the roll­ call on Friday every teacher In the graded schools of the county but two, responded and but twenty-three of the rural teachers were absent. On Satur­ day nine more rural teachers enrolled so that the absentees were reduced to fourteen. Three Lake Odessa teachers were present. The conductor of the Institute was Prof. S. B. Laird of the Michigan State Normal College. He was assfated in the work by Deputy SupL of Public Instruction Walter H. French of Lan­ sing, Miss Margaret E. Wise of the Michigan State Normal College and Hon. Henry R. Pattengill, Ex-Supt. of Public Instruction. Comm’r. John C. Ketcham had charge of the arrange­ ments as local committee. With the exception of Mr. Pattengill, none of the instructors had ever been in the county before but notwithstand­ ing fact they-completely captured the hearts of the teachers by their broad knowledge of their subjects and the forceful way in which they presented them. The opening session of the institute was held in the M. E. church Thursday evening, The musical part of the pro­ gram was in charge of Mrs. Archie McOoy and consisted of a comet solo by Mr. F. A. Wheaton and a piano duet by the Misses Lombard. Both numbers Were rendered nicely and served to put the large audience in fine fettle for the remainder of the evening. As adver­ tised Prof. Laird took for his subject, “Twentieth Century Education.” On being introduced he said that he wished to express his great pleasure at being greeted by so large an audience. It was evidence enough to show him that educational sentiment in both city and and county was very strong. The address was a masterly effort and earned for the speaker many" words of appreciation. He said that twenti­ eth century education would give more attention to the individual pupil than heretofore. Twentieth century educa­ tion will develop two things—vigor and loveliness of character. Twentieth esntury education will fit the Ameri­ can child for its five-fold heritage, viz: 1st, its scientific heritage; 2d, its liter-1 ary heritage; 3d, its aesthetic heritage; 4th, its institutional heritage; 5th, its religious heritage. Prof. Laird has a pleasant platform appearance and this together with his intense spirit of earn­ estness made it possible to drive home point after point with tiling effect. Mr. Frank Horton closed the pro­ gram with a vocal solo, "Just Plain Folks” which was so thoroughly enjoyed that he was obliged to respond with another selection, “The Old Homestead.” Rev. Geo. Bullen dismissed the audience with the benedic­ tion. Immediately following the ad­ dress the teachers of the city tendered the visiting teachers a reception in the parlors of the M. E. church, Here a very pleasant hour was spent in get­ ting acquainted. Songs, instrumental music by the mandolin club and light refreshments made the hour seem all too short On Friday morning at 8:45 the regu. lar aeesions of the institute ■ began in the High school room. Want of space will not permit us to give In detail the thought, of OMh Kldtata but th. elooe attention accorded the epeaken and The teachers were evidently glad to see him in spite of the fact that he has a good deal to do with the troublesome examination questions. During the day Mr. French gave two addresses: “Some Phases of Child Study” and “The School Problem,"both of which showed careful thought and extended observation and investigation. In his discussion of “The School Problem” he made use of some very interesting statistics con­ cerning Barry county, and we hope to be able to present them later on. Miss Wise delighted everyone with her work. Her addresses were replete with suggestions for those who have to deal with the lower grades: Her first day’s work was devoted largely to the subject of reading and she made much of this by taking a class of third grade pupils from the city schools and giving an illustration lesson with them. The Friday evening session was held In ’ the M. E. church and such was the Interest in the meeting that long before the hour for the opening number on the program the main auditorium was packed to its fullest capacity and many had to go away unable to find even standing room. The music‘for the evening was furnished by the Hastings Male Quartette, Messrs. Chas. Barnaby, Frank Horton, J. C. Ketcham and W m. Shultere, under direction of Mrs. Archie McCoy. They opened the program with a selection that was nicely render­ ed. Rev. H. H. VanAuken gave the invocation which was followed by a bass solo by Ml Wm. Shulters. | SupL C. F. Field of the city schools, acting as chairman, then introduced Hon. Henry R. Pattengill of Lansing as the speaker of the evening. Mr. Pattengill has appeared in Barry Co., on many similar occasions but never has he been given a more cordial greet­ ing than this one. He responded by giving a two hour address that kept one alternately shaking with laughter and tingling with patriotism. His sub­ ject was “Made in America.” He traced our wonderful conquests in commerce and in manufacture and said that the reason these conquests had been made was because the “hand of the teacher had been upon the head of the American boy.*f The quartette closed the meeting with another fine selection and Rev. VanAuken pronounced the benedictian.

The Herald tells us that the state tax is Ifi cents per $1,000 higher, and the county tax 49 cents, over the name taxes in 1900. I notice in looking over the proceedings of the Board of Super­ visors, that the state tax apportioned to Barry County in 1900. amounted to $36,848.73, and the state tax for 1901 is i 38.4flO.O9, or $388.04 lees than a year ago. ’ This would naturally redace the tax rate in state taxes under ordinary cir­ cumstances; but I also note that the committee on equalisation added $130,­ 490, to the assessed valuation ef thia city, and tBis accounts for 16 cento additional state tax thtw^dfi^ over and above a year ago. The county tax for 1900 was $20JWL The same tax tar 1901 amounted to $24,000, or an increase'of $33».

Thomas Madalena and Bennie Poli, the Italians wanted for the murder of James Heekln at Shawmut Saturday, Jan. 2S, were brought to bay in a lonely woods near Crenshaw, two miles from this place, at 10 o'clock last night and captured. The two Italians have been pursued and searched for since the night of their crime, and the commissioners of Elk county and the Shawmut Mining Co. had offered a reward of (1,000 for their capture. Fellow countrymen, spurred by vengeance and the large reward, have been scouring the coun­ try for miles in search of the fugitives. The pursuing party last night was composed of four Italians, under #the direction of 'Squire Thomas Keys of this place. The murderers had been hiding in the woods since Heekln was murdered. They tell a pitiable tale of starvation and suffering. At . night they would gander out from their hid­ ing place, an old powder house, and search for food. Of the latter they found but little, and declared that they had nothing to eat for four days and were nearly famished. When the Italian deputies under 'Squire Keys appeared they were too weak to offer any material resistance and were easily overpowered by the posse. TRESTLE GAVE WAY.

Gov. Bliss could not again land the delegatee from Eaton county, and although the last republican majority was about 1,400. I do not believe he could carry the coun­ ty." “The present governor is a one term man and has so announced himself. I saw a letter written before he received the republican nomination for govern­ or two years ago, in which he emphat­ ically declared himself in favor of the one term idea. I know of the existence of two other such letters.

Washington, Feb. 4.—A circular let­ ter has been received by members of the senate from Gen. Wood, military governor of Cuba, urging concessions on Cuban sugar coming into the United States. It is dated at Havana Jan. 30. Gen. Wood says: “I desire to invite your most earnest attention and consideration to the economic conditions existing in Cuba today, conditions which threaten to bring ruin to her principal Industries, sugar and tobacco, unless prompt and efficient relief Is given. With the ruin of her two principal industries, we must give up all hopes of a stable government, for unless Cuba can sell her products at a reasonable profit, It is obvious that their cultivation must cease, bringing idleness and hunger to her people. -We have established a reasonably efficient government in Cuba, with all those numerous adjuncts which per­ tain to a stable, civilized administra­ tion, such as schools, courts, sanita­ tion, public works, etc. The outlay for the maintenance of these necessary adjuncts to the government is neces­ sarily large and the revenues therefor are derived principally from materials purchased in exchange for the sugar and tobacco. These great industries are now ta a most critical condition, especially sugar, which is being sold at a price less than the cost of produc­ tion. The planter must grind his cane, even at a moderate loss, for his entire fortune is in the fields, and is liable to be swept away by Are or deteriorate from the effects of the elements.” After giving figures concerning the coat of production, etc., Gen. Wood says that a reduction of 83 1-3 per cent will give an average profit of 48 cents on each 300 pounds of sugar produced, and that such reduction should be the minimum. He further says: "Each day of delay in giving relief Is dangerous. When once the crash comes relief will be little value ex­ cept to the speculator who may gather up the wrecks here; the people of the country, who have, virtually recon­ structed it in three years, will be ruined and we shall have to step in and re-occupy the country or continue n occupation and do over again the work on which we have spent thou­ sands of lives and much treasure in doing up to date. “The situation demands relief, and It should be immediate aud liberal.” | Station . 1 Westward ! ,___ _____ __ ____ ftMtniraa.................. ......... | 9 07[LM.

Northern and western buyers are call­ ing for deliveries on spring account much earlier than usual, an encour­ aging feature as indicating that un­ sold stocks of winter goods are not ex­ cessive. Other developments of the week are in tbe main favorable. Wheat strengthened early In the week on Bradstreet's report of a heavy decrease in the visible supply, but weakened later on improved winter wheat crop prospects. Corn has dis­ played rather more strength than wheat, a number of diverse influences operating, while in oats tha feature was a spectacular break of 5c per I bushel on one day, most of which was. however, later regained. Hog prod­ ucts have weakened slightly, although receipts have been moderate, while butter and country produce generally have strengthened on colder weather. Sugar is 3-16c higher on light receipts and refiners buying. Coffee is weak and lower on continued heavy receipts and poor consumptive demand. Wool Is in steady demand and flrm, with stocks of desirable goods well re­ duced.

Who has Tramped Over Most of the Country Some writers, who have spent con­ siderable time among the South Ameri­ can Indians, claim that neatness is not fashionable with the Indians, and that tljere is no country in the world where the appetite would suffer more dis­ couragement than in South America by a revelation of their culinary mys­ teries. Such may be the case with some of ithe South American tribes, but l am sure the Indians whom we visited could not possibly have been any neater with their cooking. This tribe’s neatness did not end in the culiaary line either,-for the women of the tribe were very particular about wash­ ing their clothes every morning. The garments were dipped in the river sev­ eral times, and then spread on a flat •tone, where they are pounded with large wooden mallets until the desired condition of cleanlinees is attained. Some of the garments do not last very long under such bard usages, and that may possibly account for the scanty attire of the tribe. WHOLE NO. 2427 HAJTINO5, MICHIGAN, FEBRUARY 13, 1902.

Bliss. We have no personal animosity toward him and no reason for any. He has never denied us a favor for we never asked any. In the matter of appointments from Barry County, he has treated our signatures to petitions with as much consideration as those of men who are his active supporters today. We have no more reason and no less for criticising his course as a candidate or as an official than has any other Michigan republican who wants to see his party in this state rescued from the foul cesspool of “boodle," and given a decent bath and proper expos­ ure to the sunlight of public opinion. The claim that we have any other motives in our course than we plainly avow is made by the friends of Gov. Bliss for tbe purpose of calling public attention away from the issue we have raised. We challenge proof of such a claim. It is a mere throwing o* dust in the eyes of the people. But if it were as true as it is absolutely false, we fail to see how that excuses Gov.

But to show how rural districts were corrupted, we will give a few examples. In three townships in Kent county, in all of which the Bliss forces made a contest, and in one of which they were successful, money, In the language of the Banner informants, “flowed like water.” So called leaders were paid larger sums, men with teams a leaser price, and the ordinary voter, without raped to hie polUia, who would not go of his own accord, was hired to attend these caucuses. Democrats as well as republicans unblushingly engaged in this miserable contest for millionaires’ boodle. In each of these three townships, more votes were cast than were ever polled there at a state election. Men were paid to come in from outside the townships and vote. It is claimed that from 81,500 to 93,000 was spent to boodle the caucuses in each of these townships. A man of state reputation, whose name we are not at liberty to give, a well known and leading republican of the city of Kalamazoo, told the writer that from Information gained from leaders of the Bliss forces in Kalamazoo county, he was satisfied that It cost -nn£ m<> than slmxyi not Ilees $5,000 tn to nnntwxi control zr«i«ma. Kalama­ zoo county for Bliss. Here is an incident from Kalamazoo county that will illustrate the blight­ ing influence of ‘’boodle." In one of the country townships of that county liree a man of state reputation. The father of a son who would cast bis first vote in 1900 came to this leading dtH zen, just before the republican caucus in that td#n was held, saying, “They, have paid my boy 91.00 to go to the re­ publican caucus and vote for certain ones as delegates to the county con­ vention. I don’t want my son to take money like that. What shall I do?" Tbe father was advised to have his son return the dollar. He did so, and the boy took the dollar and attempted to restore it to the “boodler." He was at once given 94.00 more, and agreed to go to the caucus. The father came back to see his friend, sorrowing that the boodlers boodlero had seduced his son. Think of the spectacle of millionaire aspirants for office, corrupting and debauching the citizenship of a state like that, tempting through their agents those whose impulses are honest. _ This is corrupting the state at its fountain head. Such proceedings as ... . _ . . we have described were common that campaign. Can the man be found, who date lay a claim to honor or decency and who will yet defend such utterly disreputa­ ble proceedings? On the day when the republican county convention waa held In Grand* Rapids to choose delegatm to the state convention, Senator Atwood and Dock Smith, of Adrian, two of the head push In the Bliss Campaign, came Lorn De­ troit to Grand Rapids on a special train in which they were the only passengera, so we are Informed.

It burned its was through the business section of the city and claimed as its own a majority of the finer structures devoted to commercial, civic, educationai and religious use, as well as but small scores of houses. There tribute of life and injury to the confiagration, but hundreds were left 'yjmeless and thousands without ploymsnL Scores of persons were hurt and burned, but the loss of life -is not thought to be great. What started the fire is not certain, but it is thought one of the feed wires running into the car barns was responsible. The area of destruction foots up roughly 25 city blocks. From. Mala street to Paterson street, between Van Houten and Market streets, there U but little left All along the west side of Main street property Is wiped out and ou the east side also, from Market to Van Houten streets. An estimate made from general In­ spection of the smoldering ruins placed the number of dwellings and apartment houses destroyed at 500 and the number of, families left without’ shelter at one thousand. St. Louis, Febi. 10.—An early Sunday morning fire, which destroyed the Em­ pire hotel, a lafee three-story lodging house at 2700 had 2702 Olive street, occupied by min exclusively, caused the death of 11 persons, 10 men and d dangerously injured, eight others. p.

Tbe cashier of the City Savings bank had over-certified the checks of Frank C. Andrews for 1662.000 and his overdraft on the bank was 1914,000. How tbe City Savings bank came to loan such a vast sum of money Is clearly explained. The directors of the bank say that It was done without authority by Cashier Henry R. An­ drews. The cashier is home with nerv­ ous prostration and cannot give his reasons for over-certifiing. Directors of the hank give out the assurance that none of tbe depositors will be losers, stating that outside of the Andrews complications everything Is in good condition. Late in the afternoon Frank C. An­ drews waa placed under arrest, tbe warrant being Issued under the state banking law, providingithat no amount can be loaned to any dno person that shall exceed one-fifth the capital stock or surplus of an institution. Andrews says his downfall is due to speculation in copper stocks. The closing of tbe bank has tied up nearly 1700,000 of the funds of Wayne county, the board of education and the library commission. Cdunty Treasurer Buhrer and County Clerk McGregor had 1185,786.27 deposited in tbe bank: the board of education had 8467.672.40 and the library commission 838,315. The board of education is facing a monthly expense of 890,000 with prac­ tically no source of Income. The li­ brary commission has practically nothing with which to pay salaries, amounting to 82,500 a month. Frank Andrews was also police com­ missioner, but late last night sent in his resignation.

Feb. 11.—A threemasted schooner, the name of which has not been learned, was burned at sea last night The fire, which was plainly visible from here, started about 5 o'clock In the afternoon and burned until after 9 o’clock.

MADE A CLEAN SWEEP. Gen. Bell Has Put An End to Batangas Insurrection. Manila, Feb. 17.—Gen. J. Franklin Bell has practically cleaned up the in­ surrection in Batangas province, the troops under his command having made a clean sweep of the district It is net believed that all the Insurgent arma have been captured or surren­ dered, but that a number of them have been taken by the insurgent* to other provinces or safely hidden. The in­ crease of robber bands in the prov­ inces of Tayabas and Cavite show the effects of the drastic measures adopt­ ed m Batangas and Laguna provinces. General Bell says the people of the»e latter provinces'never realised the ter­ rors of war ufitil they personally ex­ perienced its hardships, owing to tho closing of the ports and the concen tralion of the nativea in the towns. General Bell says that the Insurgent •'Oder, Malvarls, Is becoming exceed­ ingly unpopular with the Flllpinod and that when the natives, to fear his ven­ geance, many will be found wining to be:n,y him. What has been said ot Batangas province Applies almost equally to Latuna. CAUGHT IN A TRAP. Boers Tricked a Squad of British and Killed Many.

WfeJ WELL CONSTABLID, I । Police Cost Leas Than Soldiers In the : ,. Philippines. Washington. Feb. 18.—The war de­ I partment made public today a report ot Capt. Henry T Allen, Sixth cavalry, ; dated Manila, Dec. 15, concerning tho . Philippine constabulary, ot which he . is chief. Captain Allen says the con­ stabulary consisted ot 2,500 men, and was able to control, without tbe aid of troops, the provinces ot Abra, Bontoc, Union, Lepanto, Bonguet, Nueva Vis- ! caya, Bataan, Princeipe and Infanta. | Up to the date of the report there had been only two men lost from the force by desertion—a showing attributed to the care in the selection of the men. Captain Allen says that experience has shown that tbe cost of a single constable for one year, does not ex­ ceed >250 gold, while tbe cost of maim talnlng an American soldier ordinarily Is reckoned at about 81,000. Captain Allen states that in chasing down the robber bands tbe constabulary unques­ tionably Is more efficient than tbe American troops, and. while one large garrison in many of the provinces may be always necessary, it is his opinion, after a thorough study of conditions, that in one year's time 15,000 Ameri­ can soldiers, with the native contin­ gent of troops and the constabulary, will suffice to garrison the Philippine archipelago.

Government Now Waits Denmark's Move Regarding Islands. Washington. Feb. 18.—Monday, in a little more than an hour’s time, the senate disposed of the treaty with Denmark, ceding to the United States for a consideration of 8^,000,000, the islands of St. Thomas. St. John and SL Croix, composing the group of the Antilles known as the Danish West Indies, and lying Just east of Porto Rico, and thus, so far as this country is concerned, consummated a transac­ tion which has been under considera­ tion intermittently since the adminis­ tration of President Lincoln. The treaty and the report on It were read at length and much discussion of the proposition was Indulged in. Senator Cullom, as chairman of the committee on foreign relations, made a speech explaining the advantages of the ac­ quisition of the islands, and Senators Bacon and McLaurin of Mlsstsalppi made brief remarks, saying that while they could not endorse all the pro visions of the agreement, they would place no obstacles In the way of rati­ fication. Senator Cullom's motion to ratify then was adopted by a viva voce vote. SIX KILLED IN WRECKS. Head-On and Rear-End Collisions Do Deadly Work.

Secured from a Discussion of WHOLE NO. 2429 HA5TINOS, MICHIGAN, FEBRUARY 27, 1902. VOL. X.LVI. NO. 44 the Question at the Farmers' Insti­ tute Recently Held Here. While the agitation for good roads has been carried on in a sort of desul­ tory way for a great many years In various sections of the country yet it is true that the coming of the bicycle marked the beginning of the very gen­ eral discussion which has taken place during the past ten or fifteen years. Sy long as men were drawn over the roads by their faithful horses the sub­ ject of good roads affected them only in a sort of indirect way but when they bagan to propel themselves over the roads by means of the bicycle they s'.raightway began to clamor for better roads. In addition to the demands of bi­ cyclists the farmers have taken a new irft crest in the matter of good roads. They find that their crops can be marketed much more rapidly and economically where they have good roads to travel. Time was when 40 bushels of wheat was considered a big load and the farmer boasted of the ability to haul such a load to market. Now, twice this amount is often haul­ ’ ed where the road is a good one and the expense of marketing is thereby decreased one-half. The ,mechanical problem involved iu th? construction of roads is not diffi­ cult. (The proper width of road-bed, the kihd of foundation required, the best material for surfacing and the drainage question are all well under­ stood by a majority of those who work uur roads but the great difficulty is to get them to do what they know should be done. Tty® present system of super­ vision is undoubtedly the cause of much of the poor road work. The overseers are literally “shouted” into office at town-meeting time. Probably half of them are not present when they are chosen and In, consequence serve under tyroteat. Others serve because no one else Will and the result on tbe to4, t \ . . ‘ ... ...

' Literary Note. There is a pretty story in connection with toe series of articles wnteh Helen Keller, the wonderful blind girl., has written for the Ladies Home Journal, telling about her own life from, infancy to the present day. She always has shrunk from the publicity which fol­ lows successful literary work, and it was with great difficulty that she was persuaded to take up the task of pre­ paring her autobiography. She had, however, set her heart on owning an island in Halifax harbor for a summer home, and in a spirit of fun the editor of the Journal offered to buy it for her, or to provide the means to buy it When the work of writing appeared especially irksome Miss Keller was re­ minded of her desire to become a land holder, and it spurred her on. Just be­ fore Christmas she completed the first chapter of her marvelous story; and on Christmas morning she received from her publishers a check for a good round sum. Her delight may be imag­ ined, for this was the first money of any account which she had everearned. “It is a fairy tale come true,” she said. Whether she will really carry out her plan to buy the island remains to be seen. A Story or Two.

A fine smoking set and fountain pen were presented to Mr. Stowell as'a remembrance of. tbe evening. - , Mrs. Nettie Burchfield, of St Josephformerly Miss Nettle Sheldon of thia city, was the victim of a very painful accident last week. She stepped on a parlor match and the spark ignited her clothing which almost instantly be­ came a mass of flames.

Washington, Feb. 20.—Relative to the bettie of Santiago and to the dis­ pute which haa ever, since then been kept hot as to which one, Sampson or Schley, waa in command, and to whom shoqld be given the credit, President Roosevelt on Wednesday made public an extended reply. In part it is M follows: ‘‘White House. Feb. 18, 1902. “It appears that the court of in­ quiry was unanimous in its findings of facts and unanimous in its expres­ sions of opinion on most of Its finding of tact. No appeal Is made to me from the verdict of the court on these points where it was unanimous. I have, bow ever, gone carefully over the evidence on these points also. I am satisfied that on the whole tbe court did sub­ stantial justice. “The question of command Is in this case nominal and technical. Ad­ miral Sampson's ship, the New York, was seen at the outset of the fight from all other ships except the Brook­ lyn. Four of these five ships* captains have testified that they regarded him as present and in command. “It was a captain's fight Therefore the credit to which each of the two is entitled rests on matters apart from the claim of nominal command over the squadron; for so far as the actual fight was concerned, neither one nor the other, in fact, exercised any com­ mand. “Admiral Schley is rightly entitled —as is Captain Cook—to the credit on what the Brooklyn did in the fight. On the wLoie, she did well; but I agree with the unanimous finding of the three admirals who composed the court of inquiry as to the loop. It se­ riously marred the Brooklyn's other­ wise excellent record, being in fact the one grave mistake made by any American ship that day. “In short, as regards Admirals Sampson and Schley, I find that Pres­ ident McKinley did absolute justice and that there will be no warrant for reversing his action. Both admirals are now on the retired list. In con­ cluding tbeir report, the members at court of Inquiry, Admirals Dewey, Denham and Ramsay, unite in stating that they recommend that no further action be had in ths matter. With this recommendation I most heartily concede. There is no excure whatever on either side for any further agita­ tion of this unhappy controversy. To keep it alive would merely do damage to the navy and to the country. “THEODORE ROOSEVELT " tance from steamer to tug was too great for conversation, however. As the two vessels moved In past Fort Wadsworth the flrat of the salutes of 21 guns was fired. As the first gun sounded the Prince advanced to the end of tho bridge or tbe Kron Prins and stood at attention.

Dime Savings Bank Paid Out Thou­ sands Monday to Patrons—Believed Affair Started From Some Unfound­ ed Reports. ■KOT NK LMBOT Ct, Segim, Ml Detroit, Mich., Feb. 25.—Without wamipg and without any apparent cause, pebplo began crowding around the doors of the Jefferson avenue branch of the Dime Savings bank Monday morning. As the bank was in excellent condition, little was thought of the matter, and it was ex­ pected that the run would soon sub­ side. 1 The crowds, however, evidently at­ tracted others, who, not waiting to hear any plausible reason, became ex­ cited, got their bank books, and pushed into line. It was not until afternoon that the excitement spread to the main branch of the bank at Fort and Griswold streets. All morning there had been a goodly number of depositors com­ ing in and drawing out their funds. Shortly after 2 o’clock, however, the lines began forming and at 2:45 o’clock there were about 75 depositors inside tho bank and 150 waiting to get in. As the news spread the crowd in­ creased in size, and at 5 o’clock at least 2,000 people were in the vicinity of the bank, of whom probably 700 were depositors walling In line for their turn at the window, the balance being people drawn to-the scene by curiosity. A large force? of detectives and patrolmen were on hand, and the crowd was kept moving as much as possible. After 5 o’clock the excite­ ment subsided to a great extent, and tbe crowd slowly diminished. The tellers were kept busy handing out the cash until 6:30 o'clock. From the time the run started, until the last payment was made ut 6:30, the Dime Savings bank paid out at tbe main bank about 185.000. Cashier Warren went out to the Jefferson avenue branch and honored accounts until 5:30 o'clock, and a teller did the same thing at the Woodward avenue branch, until there had been paid out at these two branches >25.000, bringing the to­ tal disbursements up to >110,000.

HASTINGS, MICHI VOL. XLVI. NO. 43. fAKIIKi IN CANADA EXPERIENCES OF LESLIE I. FLINT, THE BOY REPORTER Who has Furnished Banner Readers with an account of His Trips Around the Country. Marty people believe that a fakir’s life is an eaay one; in fact, I waa of the same opinion myself until I had occas­ ion to resort to this method of livelhood in order to obtain the necessary three square meals per day. During a recent visit to the province •f Manitoba, Canada in the interest of the daily papers which I represented, the cold realization of the fact that my cash on hand was limited to a very small amount, suddenly dawned upoq me. As I had drawn a month’s salary in advance, I did not-relish the thought of telegraphing to my employers for money, and soon decided that I would try my luck in the faking line. I taade up a gross of the old reliable “Scotch Iron Grasp,” a sort of cement to be used in mending anything from a set of tugs to a broken heart, and then •truck out through the country, touch­ ing only the high places. I had very good luok the first day and my sales netted me about 85.50. While traveling through the country districts a number of funny incidents happened Jo me. I met a number of good Christian people on this trip, very liberal with their money, and who lived up to the principles of their jeligion. I also met a few persona who claimed to be very religious, but whose princi­ ples were decidedly against them. One day I came to a small but neat farm house. The lady did not wish to buy any cement, but had a few broken dishes to mend. While I was busily engaged at this work in the kitchen, her husband came in. and without any ceremony, told me to gather up my traps—as he called it—and make myself scarce at his house. “I want you to strictly understand," he said, “that I’m the boss.” ii tried to reason with this piece of humanity, but my words were useless. In,a fit of anger he started to assist me, as I stepped forth from the domain, over which be claimed to pre­ side. He grabbed a chair and started toward me, and, if looks count for any­ thing. f must say that I could picture my own funeral in his face. Realizing that he might accidentally do something very desperate, I developed a pair of six-shooters. At the sight of these he did not seem quite so aggressive, and the only satisfaction he received was to snapping)}’ remark to his wife: “After this when one of those peddlers comes to the house, you send for me; I’ll get rid of them d----- m quick.” I told one of his neighbors about this incident, and he remarked that after this bold man had been made a deacon in the -church he had given up trying to find out what kind of a creature he was. The next day after the above iflfeident I stopped at a very nice farm house and announced in glowing terms to the proprietor that I was introduc­ ing the latest process for mending glassware, chinaware, etc., and that I woaid mend any such articles at a small cost, and would sell him enough of the cement to last a lift time for the nomi­ nal sum of 50 cents. The benevolent farmer became very interested in my remarks of fairness, Invited me into his house, and in christian-llke words of­ fered me a job of mending his ware, telling me he upheld honest industry however humble, and quoting a few lines of scripture that I have since for­ gotten. When, his fifty-eight dishes were mended, this kind farmer laid me down a solitary nickle for the service I had rendered. Politely I asked him If be gave me the nickle for mending his ware, “Tea,** said he In solemn tones “a boy like you I am always willing to help along." Dear reader, I gave him his dear little nlckle back. At another place in the country I stopped at a farm house and politely naked the lady if I could be kept over night; that I .was willing to pay for my supper, lodging and breakfast, also tell­ ing her my occupation. 8be remarked that she was perfectly willing, and re­ quested me to go to the bam and see her husband, who was engaged in feed­ ing his stock. I approached him with a kindly “good evening" and customary remarks on the crops and weather, and informed him that I had been at the house and had met with kindness, and that it remained with him to say whether I could be accommodated with a night's sojourn. This so-called Chris­ tian bad also a few passages of scrip­ ture suitable to the occasion, to rattle MkedGod to Map tad protect til ho- inanity from storms, droughts and v><5/ lence, he gave me an extra dose, praying to God that this stranger in their midst, while trying to prepare a home on earth should not forget to prepare one above. After breakfast the next morning I po­ litely asked him what my bill waa for sheltering me. He did not have nerve enough to tell me, probably fearing that I would make a kick on the bill, but told me to settle’with his wife. She informed me that all hotels charg ed 50 cents a meal and 50 cents for lodging, but that she would throw off 25 cents because I was only a boy. I did not have the exact change, and when I flashed a ten dollar bill on her she really looked as though she was quite ready to faint If those people had known that I had a small roll of bills in my possession, I doubt very much if my age would have made 25 cents difference in my bill. Three weeks of such prosperity was all that I cared for, and I immediately invested my profits for a through tick­ et to Chicago, with a firm resolve to never again waste my valuable time in trying to fake the people. Leslie I. Flint. Hastings Musical Club. The 5th anniversary of the Hastings Musical Club was held at the G. A.

Loss of the Iron Works not a Serious Blow and will not be Materi­ ally Missed, For its wantonly unjust attack and uncalled for criticisms of this city in its last issue, the Journal merits the se­ verest censure of every loyal citizen of Hastinga^We defy any man to show us a betterjeity for its size In this state, than is Hastings. A prettier, neater city does not adorn the map, nor can any city boast of a more orderly, more refined or mope intelligent citizenship. So much’for the city. N ow what about business. This city never saw the day when it was injbetter shape financially than it is today, and we will take the condi­ tion ofjour banks to prove it. Further than this we believe that this city enjoyedja greater growth in population last year than it has in any one year within the last 25 years, if not in its history. If the Journal editor had taken a good dose of pepsin before he had this attack of editorial indigestion laat week he could easily have found that this city today is vastly better off than Jit was one year ago. For his ben­ efit we^rilljmake a few comparisons: One year ago the Bookcase factory was employing 15 hands. Now it is employing 83 hands, is rushed with orders and rapidly growing, having re­ ceived over 87,000 worth of orders last week. Onejyearfago the Wool Boot factory was practically idle for the first time in its history, due to unfavorable seasons. Nowjit is running 185 hands night and day, Sundays excepted. One year ago the Seal factory was running 15 hands, now it is running 35, andjpreparations are being made to en­ large the plant and increase the ca­ pacity. • TheJTable Company is now running overjPO hands, which is a few more than it was employing a year ago. One year ago Bentley, Rider A Co., were employing 7 men; today they are employing 31. The above are the leading industries of the city. None of them are running with lighter forces than a year ago. There is not an industry in the city employing less help than one year ago. So hero is practically an increase of 300 hands over last year and yet the Journal conveys the idea that the city is going to the demnitlon bow wows. We clip the following from the De­ troit Free Press of Tuesday: Hastings will soon lose one of its in­ dustries—the Iron Works, which will be removed to Battle Creek as soon as buildings can be erected in the cereal city for the accommodation of the Slant. It looks as though the Hastings ournal struck it just about right when it said of the general lack of hustling qualities in its town: “This city could­ n’t raise enough to pay postage on a letter. What we want to do Is to fence in the town, make a bonfire and move over to Riverside as soon as the Lord will prepare us for the journey." Is anybody so thick-pated that. he can’t understand that such an article, comingffrom our home town, is a pos­ itive damage to the city? Would any­ body want to move to Hastings after reading that article? Would any man­ ufacturer, having an industry to estab­ lish select Hastings to locate in, when one of its own papers advises "fencing in the town, making a bonfire and mov­ ing over to the cemetery?" Is that a good adv. for a city, coming from one of the city papers? And what inspired the writing of the article? Simply the fact that the Has­ tings Iron Works has reorganised and incorporated with 8000,000 capital and is going to move to Battle Creek. We have no wish to disparage the Iron Works or anyone connected with it, but in justice to this city which has been grossly slandered and misrepre­ sented by the Journal article, some reference to it to neowary. There to a certain magic something about the the words “Iron Works," that suggest towering chimneys, clouds of black smoke, acres of buildings, an army of busy, swarthy employees, million dollar libraries, and last, but not least. An drew Carnegie. The further east one goes the more magic there to to “Iron Works." We presume that’s the reason the Free Press picked up the item. Doubtless the FreefPresa thought that about all there was to Hastings was the Michigan Central depot and the "Iron Works;” that when the Iron Works stopped, business stopped; that when we loot the Iron Works the smokeless, towering chimneys would remain as I, MARCH 6, 1902.

At the upper gidc of the dredge beam a bracket is secured, comprising two parallel cheek plecea, between which a spring pressed dog ia pivoted. The dog serves to engage the i upper edge of the shovel, bolding it tn ' the position shown In our Illustration. j; The dog Is operated by a tripping I mechanism, comprising a rod, the tow■ er end of ; which extends below the I beam and which Is joined to an arm । pivoted on the underside of the beam. * By pressing upon this second arm the rod is raised, the dog lifted and tho bucket allowed to tilt into its dump­ ing position. The beam with the shovel attached ia operated in the usual manner. At the dumping point a post is located, upon which the beam is lowered, so that the tripping arm beneath the beam may be pressed upwardly to release the dog and to permit the shovel to drop. The load when once in the shovel cannot possibly leak out apd can be discharged only by the releasing dog. Literary Note.

It was not merely the desire of a rich man; it was the wisdom of a suc­ cessful man. The best is always the cheapest. Take the example of Ivory Soap. It costs half as much as fancy soaps, yet more than common yellow soaps.

Feb. «th.-Le« than six months in the white bouse have worked a notable change in the appearance of President RooaeveR that may even be translated as a change or ratber a rapid development of his char­ acter. The president is an older, grav­ er man. , This is not to say that his immense fund of good spirits, bubbling good health and his tremendous energy show any sign of diminution. The fact is, rather, that each one of the many tasks of his office,met and dealt with in his own strenuous fashion, has left its mark on his personality He was no longer the cowboy, nor even altogether the rough rider of two years previous when he left the governor’s office at Albany to become vice president. The experi­ ences of the 1900 campaign had already begun to round him as a man of nation­ al affairs. Since taking MoKiniev’s place he has come to grasp noj only with problems, but with statesmen, men of greater public experience than his own, and he has had to wrestle for the upper hand with some of them. A “glutton for work” he always was. ■The white house provides a satiety of it Were it not for his determination to take exercise the work would break down a man who wears out nerve force as fast as he. editorial notej Boodle la a mighty poor substitute for principle in polities.

It It hopes co succeed in thia state, the republican party must get back to the people, and not be led around by the nose by a few politicians, who ma­ nipulate things for the benefit of a few millionaires, and incidentally help themselves. We see by the Detroit dailiesthat Mysterious Bill Judson, th* State Oil Inspector, is preparing a statement, or rather some one ia preparing It for him. If Wnilam's office is "in his hat," as It is claimed, we hope he will hot over­ look explaining why he charges the state (100 per year tor office rent Bay. City, February 28.—The confi­ dence expreaMd by the adberentt of the administration of Gov. Bliss that he has a cinch on a renomination without any material opposition ia assumed rather than real if the logic of cur­ rent events may be taken as indicative of the real situation. | It has developed here and la told by those who claim In­ side information, that the possibility that J. 8. Stearns may enter the con­ test has given the Bliss contingent sup pressed hysterics, and they are casting about to see what Is best to be done. The governor himself ia said to be ex­ tremely nervous and some not overcharitably disposed people attribute his recent neuralgia attack as due more to uneasiness over existing political con­ ditions than to any other agency. And there are other things in the wind. News is brought here from Lansing that the nervousness of the Bliss people is so acute that it has been decided that some action is necessary, and that an “anchor must bd cast to windward.” Several conferences have been held and it has been fixed up that if Stearns and any others go in for the nomination and it develops that the opposition is at all formidable, the Bliss people are to throw their entire strength to Fred M. Warner, secretary of state, for the gubernatorial nomina­ tion. In other words, they propose to punish Stearns, Ferry or any one else by nominating Warner. It is not un­ derstood here that Mr. Warner. It is not understood here that Mr. Warner is a party to any such deal, and some doubt is expressed here that he will sanction it. It bears out, however, the statement quoted from a leading re­ publican here some time ago that Bliss is inherently weak and recognizes the fact, and will lay down when the pres­ sure becomes strong enough to rattle his nervous system a little more. A well-known St, Clair county Re­ publican in this city today stated that there is very little Bliss sentiment in the county, outside of Port Huron, and in that city it Is confined to a limited Gov. Blias says that he does not think that there is anything out of the way with Inspector Judson's account It wahldn't be out of the way, perhaps for the governor to send a surveying party to AnnArbor, and locate, if possible, that office of the State Oil Insdectors which the state pays >100 per annum for. This wo’ Id not only enlighten the people, but u old tend to comflrm the governor's at ement that he “scruti­ nizes all accounts.” The time to put the stamp of disap­ proval to “boodling,” and machine methods in this state is right NOW, not two years hence, or any indefinite futufe time. The republicans of Mich­ igan this year will be called upon to es­ tablish a new "precedent"—that of re­ nominating a governor who bought the office with boodle and promises. If they adopt this new precedent they alone are responsible. A “precedent’’ onty established is not easy to be rid of, and the people should remember that if this “new precedent” is adopted in the case of Gov. Bliss, there is no reason whatever why it should not be followed in the case of any future am bilious millionaire, who shells out his “coin,” or somebody’s else coin, and buys his first nomination. The time to give boodling methods a black eye is NOW and not encourage the disease to spread by deferring action. Nothing can be gained by waiting. Growing Rapidly. i The revolt against the renomination of Gov. Bliss for a second term is grow­ ing rapidly. All that is necessary to convince anyone of that fact, is to read the republican daily, and the country weekly papers, besides a great many in­ dependent papers of republican pro­ clivities. There is not a single republican pa­ per in this state that has defended or can successfully defend the means by which Gov. Bliss secured a nomination, though a few have sought to justify it On the other hand many of the leading republican papers of the state are op­ posing the adoption of a new precedent, which the nomination of Gov. Bliss really means, which would be a practi­ cal endorsement of the boodling meth­ ods of the last campaign. We do not believe that Gov. Bliss will be renomi­ nated. If the machine insists upon putting him up, and he is renominated, he will be defeated In November, if the democrats put up a good dean randi<Ute. There will go down with him not only the republican county tickets iawrerai ef the close counties, but ser­ ial of the legislative tickets, r ‘ per­ an* It was stated here also to-day that Gov. Bliss has for some time been anx­ ious to have a conference with Mr. Stearns, and one authority states it was fixed for Thursday of last week, but for some reason not known failed to materialize. Just why the governor should be anxious to confer with Mr. Stearns is not explained, unless it is of a nature similar to a conference held between one of the governor’s close political friends and Mr. Stearns at Saginaw two years ago, when a propo­ sition was made, the details regarding which were closely concealed bnt which either of the gentlemen named could throw much light upon if disposed to do so.

SCATTRKED ABOUT Tied Strings to Triggers, Thfin ®tuck the Gun Barrels In His ,Mouth— Motive for the Act a Mystery Among His Friends. Chelsea, Mich., March 4.—Chelsea citizens were astounded by the news which reached this city of the sensa­ tional suicide of John Wurster, a wellknown farmer living about four miles southeast of this place. Wurster waa ths tenant- of the Wedemeyer farm, where he lived with the five children of hto sister. George F. Wedemeyer, an uncle of the chil­ dren, by their mother’s second mar­ riage, was also an inmate of the home. Early Sunday morning Wurster went to the home of a neighbor and secured hto shotgun, which he had loaned several days ago. Retiring to hto own room at about noon he perfected an arrangement for his own destruction. He placed the butt of the gun against the baseboard of the room and across the butt he laid a stick about 18 inches long. To either end of the stick he attached strings of stout twine, the other ends of which he tied to the triggers of the gun. When all was ready he loaded the gun, cocked the hammers, sat down on the floor, placed the muxxles in bls mouth and drew the gun toward him. Both, bar rels were discharged, and the family, alarmed at the. shot, found Wurater's body blown half way across the room, hto brains and portions of his skull scattered in all directions. Death must have been InstantaneQ^. There is np khown cause of the man’s rash deed, unless it might be tho refusal of hts sister, who is mar­ ried to one of the Wedeffityerg ttd Hyes in Ann Arbor, to c*rt for the children by her first marriage, who had been left with him as guardian. death Sunday and feet, though she killed a horse in her frantic efforts to reach a physician before heir husband expired. While the couple were returning to their farm near Derby, seven miles south, Ludwig was suddenly seised with pains about the heart, and after gasping for a few moments sank un­ conscious into the arms of his terrorstricken wife. Crated by the fear lest he should die before she could obtain assistance, Mrs. Ludwig lashed the horse into a mad gallop toward the residence of Dr. A. J. Beers of Derby. For the time being she was merciless and plied the lash with insgne fury, though the gallant beast was going at heart­ breaking speed. The wild drive throw up an avalanche or mud, which spat­ tered all over the rig and mingled with the white foam which covered the frightened horse. When about half a mile from the destination, the stricken husband died. 10 the fu­ tility of further effort and, supporting the corpse, finished the distance at the same killing pace.

Rome, March 4.—The principal cere­ mony In the celebrations of the ponti­ fical jubilee in honor of the twenty­ fourth anniversary of the pope’s coro­ nation, the holding of the "papal chapel," was carried out in tbe basilica of St. Peter’s Monday morning with extraordinary pomp and in the pres­ ence of the pontiff and an assemblage estimated to have numbered fufij 50,­ 000 persons.

March 3.—Abdul Aziz Ben Feysul, a descendant of the old Waha­ bi ameers, with an army of 2,000 men, has captured the city of E'Rlad, in central Arabia.

The garrison of the city then surrendered, whereupon the army of Abdul Aziz Ben Feysul entered.

Port of Spain, March 4.—The steam­ er Libertador, now operating in the interests of the Matos revolution against President Castro of Venezuela and whose name was recently an­ nounced to have been changed to Boli­ var, Sunday bombarded the port of Gulria for the purpose of protecting the landing of Insurgent forces there. Details of this action cannot be ob­ tained, but it is believed here that the government came out second best in the BLtt&if. This belief arises from the fact that there is a panic at Carupano, where measures of defense are being adopted. The government forces at Carupano aie actively engaged in placing a battery on a hill which dom­ inates the anchorage at Carupano. The guns in this battery havo been taken from a Venezuela gunboat. The port of Gulria Is in the Venezue­ lan state of Cumana, on the Gulf of Para, and about 300 miles east pf La Guarla. Carupano is in the state of Bermu­ dez, on the Atlantic, and about 60 miles west of Gulria. Both ports are within about a hundred miles of the Island of Trinidad. fl ?

VOL. XLVI lift ON lilt ROAD PLEASURES ENJOYED IN a CANA­ DIAN LUMBER CAMP. -------- ■ Life in tne Woods [and How the Em­ ployees Live. Camp Cook a ' Very Ingenious Man. Holding the humble position of news­ paper reporter, it once upon a time became my duty to visit the lumber re­ gions of Canada, in campany with two other so-called reporters, and conse­ quently}! had occasion to participate in the pleasures of life in a lumber camp. I The people employed in these camps are mostly Scandinavians, and this was one of the things that helped to make our visit! most pleasant. The lumber crews would always converse in the choic&t (Norwegian, while myself and brother reporters were compelled to use the pla^n English language. Thus each one enjoyed himself in bls owfi quiet waiy. These people rise before daylight^ eat a pan full of dried apples, soaked in rain water and sweetened with Arabian glucose, go out to the timber with a lantern, hew down the giants oC the forest till the grey owl in the gathering gloom begins to hoot, and all for $18 per month and stewed prunes. When night comes they gather round the room and spin many beauti­ ful romances and pathetic stories of their boyhood days in Norway hnd Sweden-j-at least we judged that to be the thenje of their conversation, for we saw the cook shed several tears in the flour barrel. The Canadian lumberman enjoys a pipe of (tobacco as well as he does a square meal, and his favorite brand is called “Scandihoovian.” This particu­ lar brand of the fragrant weed derives its name from the fact that you can smoke it in Canada and smell it in Scandihoovia. After a person has smoked this tobacco for a night or two he will begin to look for a new mouth, at the same time resolving to lead a better lira in the future. • ] /jfdnothp >i—" feature about pr— nice these camps is'the amount of sleep that an uninitiated visitor gets.;. The crew’s Convereanon generally runs along smoothly}, till midnight, when it in­ creases vjith great vigor, being influenc­ ed by numerous draughts of a select stock of Budweiser. From midnight till two in the morning they make sufficient! noise to put a good sized boiler works out of commission, but they finally manage to get “laid out” at three. | A visitor will then “turn in,” ber danced a double shuffle and kept time with an old horn-handled razor on a piece of suspender hung from the wall. Next he lathered me, and I claimed then and do now that he must have been a mason once, because he slapped on‘ the suds just the way a man plasters a room. After attending to all the details so essential to a good shave, he clutched me by the ear with one hand, told me to keep my eye on a hand grenade which hung on the wall, and with the other drew the razor down over my cheek. It sounded like ripping the shinglee off from an old dry roof. Talk about the atrocities practiced on the Christians by the Boxers! It was noth­ ing compared with that shave. He would round the hair up in bunches and extract it by the roots like trans­ planting strawberry plants. He chased his hoe up and down my features sev­ eral times and /removed every birth­ mark. The towel was scented with turpen­ tine and Scandihoovian, and after a few vigorous slaps and rubs with it he pronounced the job finished. With a loud call for “next,” number two took my place, but before doing so he asked me in a stage whisper, “How is he, Les'?” and I answered him that I never bad such a shave in my life. The barber waded through our “bunch” until his floor resembled a mattress factory and we looked like relics of a dynamite explosion. We es­ caped from the shop alive, and that’s all, and did not linger in Canada an­ other minute, but meandered southward toward the^egion op he civilized bar­ ber. When jwe gofback to New York City we had to wrap our faces in quilts andjlived in exile until the skin grew out. Leslie I. Flint, The |‘Boy Reporter. He was born In 1828 near Palmyra, X. Y. Removed to Washtenaw Co., Mich., when a yonng boy and lived there on a farm until sixteen years of age—thus weaving into the warp and woof of his young life that generous touch and sympathy with struggling, laboring manhood which so character­ ized his whole life. His early deter­ mination to study law was abandoned and he turned his attention to medicine studying three years at a medical col­ lege in Cleveland, Ohio. He was grad­ uated from that institution in 1850 with the degree of M. D. and began the practice of medicine in Wisconsin, coming to Hastings in 1852, choosing for his life work that noble profession which alone should crown every worthy brow* with undying laurel. None knew better than he the arduous labor of a pioneer physician. Instant in season and out of season, undaunted by sum­ mer's heat or winter’s cold, fearless alike of praise or censure, he has ever bravely trod the self-denying path of duty. During 1855 and two years later he was employed in making govern­ mental surveys in Nebraska and dur­ ing the civil war he entered the service in 1861 as surgeon of the new Third Mich. Volunteers and for many of the last years of his life was secretary of Examining Pension Board. Slow to recognize or acknowledge his own ability, yet he was a profound student of medicine, a close analyzer of disease, and ambitious to keep in touch with the progressive spirit of t|je age. He was broad in his charities and generous in his sympathy;1 his life an open book which all might see and read. For the Obituary. died at her home in Carlton Center. Mich., Feb. 22,1902. She was married to Joseph S. Keeler, Sept. 28, 1852, to them was given five children, three sons and tw^daughters, one son dying in infancy. She with her husband came to Michigan in 1883, settled on the farm theyjnow own, one mile north of Carlton Center where they lived un­ til: 1898 when they purchased . their home where they have since lived. She has always been a kind and lov­ ing wife and mother and willing to lend a helping hand in time of need, she was always ready and willing to bear the heavy burdens without mur­ muring. “She haxteoue but net lost.

I can pass no higher or more truthful encomium upon him than the faithful physician, the faithful friend— “an honest man, the noblest work of God.” The funeral was held at the late resi­ dence at 2 o'clock Wednesday after noon and was attended by a large reti­ nue of friends and relatives.

JUDSON'S REPLY JUGGLES FIGURES TO PROVE ME )VAS A CHEAP MAN Makes no Reference to Increased Ex. peases, and Ignores the Ques­ tion of Office Rent. As stated in the Banner, last week we received the following letter from State Oil Inspector Judson inclosing a reply to one of our recent articles. Ac­ cordingly we publish both Mr. Judson’s letter and his communication. Ann Arbor, Mich., Mar. 4,1902. Messrs. Cook Brothers, • Editors of Hastings 'Banner, Hastings, Michigan. Gentlemen: Your article, in issue of February 20, 1902, headed “A Essay" on Pork,' might mislead some of your readers unfamiliar with the laws gov­ erning and the workings of the oil de­ partment. Therefore, I enclose statements cor­ rectly explaining reasons for the de­ crease in the revenues and increase in the expenses of the oil department for the last ten years, which kindly publish in your this week’s edition. It seems hardly possible that, had you been familiar with former and present laws governing the oil depart­ ment, you would have published your "Record for Ten Years” without proper explanation. And, I believe, you will new be glad to place yourselves right with your subscribers. Yours very respectfully, Wk. Judson, State Inspector of Illuminating Oils. P. S. P4ea.se send me a copy of your this week s edition, and oblige, Y ours truly, Wm.

WM.JuDooaL 50 23 The above reply of Mr. Judson la only another demonstration of the fact that paper is an inanimate thing andL will lie perfectly quiet, while it* smooth surface is disturbed with fig­ ures. It also proves very conclusively that figures can be juggled to prove most anything. For instance on the theory that “things equal to the same thing are equal to each other” a plus 2 can be made to equal a minus 2, by simply squaring the equation. The only thing that Mr. Judson’s statement proves is that if his fees had been* 25 per cent more and Mr. O’Brian bad spent over $1000 more, Mr. Judsin would have been the cheaper man for the state. The same thing is true of his comparisons with past State Gil Inspectors. We have no knowledge bf the basis’of Mr^.Judson’s figures. Per­ haps-we might investigate more closely by making another trip to Lansing, but under the circumstances such in­ vestigation Is not necessary. We are not aware of jany law making the cost of inspecting 25 per cent more now than it was ten years ago.. Mr» Judson’s statement was very cunningly devised, but there are one or two things that we expected from Mr. Jud­ son that are very conspicuous by their absence. In the first place please notice how absolutely silent Mr. Judson is on the question of his own personal expenses. Does he account for the increase of his personal expenses from 8219 under Mr. O’Brien in 1892 to 8971 in 1W1? No. In the second place where does Mr. Judson get his authority for charging the state 6100 per annum for officp rent? Where is Mr. Judson’s office? In what particular block in Ann Arbor is it located? As we have before stated the only office of Mr. Judson’s in Ann Arbor that we could find we h$v» photographed and found it to be a* follows:— ■■ In 1892 Mr. John O’Brien, then State Oil Inspector, was operating under a law passed by the1 legislature of 1881 as amended in 1883, which provided for a change in inspection fees of 13c. per barrel.

J., March 10.— The fast freight, eastbound, due here at 2 o'clock Sunday morning, had a rather unusual and unpleasant experi­ ence between Trenton and this city. Three dead men were encountered, two of them having been killed by the train itself, and once the train was stopped to search for a body which could not be found. Tho run from Philadelphia was uneventful until as the train approched Princeton Junc­ tion ft hit and killed a man. The train stopped and the body was cared for and left at the junction to be shipped to Trenton, It being in Mercer county. When near Monmouth Junction the train was stopped at a signal from the head brakeman, who said it had bit another man, and he had seen the body hurled into a ditch. A search of the track for a mile back failed to lo­ cate the supposed victim. The train was again started east, and as it neared Millstone the glare of the head­ light revealed the body of another man lying by the rails. The engineer stopped, and the body was picked up and brought to this place. It was that of Howard R. Breeze of New Bruns­ wick. He Is supposed to have been struck about 11 o'clock by another train while walking home from Frank­ lin park. Post Office Information.

Saginaw, Mich., March 11.—Mayor Baum’s threat that he would bring the matters at issue between himself and Police Commissioner Gubtil before the common council brought a great crowd of citizens to the meeting last night It was tbe better class of citi­ zens, well-to-do people, but they were disappointed. Late In the afternoon City Attorney Nageley Informed May­ or Baum that under the charter, Gommlaaloner Gubtil could be removed only for malfeasance or malfeasance In office, and this Is not charged. Mayor Baum requested the resigna­ tion of Commissioner Gubtil last week but gave no reasons. When Mr. Bubtil demanded to know the reason, hav­ ing called on the mayor, accompanied by hia attorney, to make the demand. Mayor Baum stated it waa not on ac­ count of official acts that he made the request, but because Mr. Gubtil, so the mayor is informed, had left his home and resides at the Bancroft hotel. Mayor Baum reiterated this statement In an Interview, saying openly that he was being showered with letters from prominent citizens, and that people were calling upon him at his office complaining that Mr. Gubtil was not a proper person to be police commis­ sioner. "I appointed him a year ago,” said the mayor. "He is a republican, but the board is non-partisan, and I had to appoint a republican. He is a retired lumberman, very well connected by marriage, and I supposed he was a public-spirited citizen, anxious to do the best he could for the welfare of the city. Then some months later complaints began to come to me. I do not think his manner of living is any more consistent with his being po­ lice commissioner than it would be with his being a Sunday school super­ intendent. so I asked him to resign, and I shall bring it before the council in some way as soon as the city at­ torney advises me how." Mr. Gubtil Intends to make it hot for his enemies and denies that there is anything either in Lis public or pri­ vate life to cause the mayor to de­ mand his resignation. As to exposing rottenness, he believes that when he draws the veil from the lives of his en­ emies they will be glad to cease their assaults upon him. ley's Bone Linimen nternal external ■ ’ Bement Peerless Plows Look Ont for InfrlngtHinti and Imttatlens BEMENT PLOWS TURN THE EARTH Every quality and feature that could contribute in making a perfect implement is embodied in the construction of this plow.

Negaunee Preacher-Reformer Has Ex citing Experience. Negaunee,. Mich., March 10.—Rev. S. M. Gilchrlese, pastor of the Methodist church here, who a week ago began a crusade against the saloon men. who < had been conducting their business in alleged violation of the law, was last Saturday night attacked by a mob of sympathizers of the liquor dealers. The preacher and several members of his congregation started at 11 o’clock to make tbe rounds of the city to ascertain if any saloons were open after hours. This angered a number of men, who were more or less under the influence of liquor, and by the time the preacher and his committee had made the rounds they found a mob of 56 or more waiting for them. The life of the minister was threat­ ened by the leaders, who yelled to their drunken companions, “Lbt’s cut out his heart.** The mob followed Gllchriese to ths parsonage, where there was another mob awaiting him. The latter had congregated in his yard. More threats of "Kin him!” etc., went up, and the preacher dashed into the house, say­ ing that If the mob did not disperse within a short time he would see what a little cold lead would do.

March 10.— Will Hagens, bookkeeper for tbe American Steam Leundr# Co. was held up In his office Saturday night by two strangers at the point of. a revolver and robbed of two rash boxes contain­ ing $200 in cash, ft was the boldest robbery committed hi this city for many yean. Hagens was alone In the office at the time, and as he turned to telephone, two men wdlked in. He paid but little attention to them at the time, but when he had finished tele­ phoning he turned around to his desk and was met by twq revolvers pointed at his face. The men ordered him to go into the vault and kept him cov­ ered with their guns. They pushed him into the open vault and, grabbing two cash boxes near the door, ran- out of the building. Hagens,says the men were masked when they covered him with their guns. The scene ot the rob­ bery is one of the business streets of tho city. Tho mon ran through an al­ ley and escaped with their plunder, leaving no clue to their Identity. Divorce Courts Did Big Business.

You and Kate are very much of a mind about the ‘temptations’ with which I am surround­ ed; but you aro far more imaginative than she is, and far more courteous. There ia eo much about your letter that touches mo deeply that I want to be frank and fair in my reply. I have been danc­ ing all thia evening, wm out at dinner before that, and have made many calls thia afternoon; but, tired as I am, my letter must bo written, for to-morrow will be but the repetition of today.

I may not love, but I cannot and will not deceive you, even by simulating love that does not exist. Suppose that love were to be kindled in my heart. Suppose I were to learn to care for some one here. You would be the first one to know it; for 1 would toll you aa soon as I knew it myself. Then what could 1 hope for—or you? Surely you would not want to marry a girl who loved another man. But is it much better to marry one who feels that she does not love you? ••Think of it, Steven; 1 am very lonely, very far from happy, very wretched over Kate's evident trouble, and all the sorrow I am bringing you and yours; but have I misled or deceived you in any one thing? Once only has a word been spoken or a aceno occurred that you could perhaps have objected to I told you the whole thing in my letter of Sunday last, and why I had not told Kate. We have not inet since that night, Mr. Bayne and I, and may not; but he is a man whose story excites my profound pity and sorrow, and he is one of the two or three I feel that I would like to see more of. Is this being false to-you or to my promise? If so, Steven, you cannot say that I have not given you the whole truth. •‘It is very late at night—1 o’clock— and Kate is not yet asleep, and the cap­ tain is still down stairs, reading. He is not looking wall at all, and Kato is sore­ ly anxious about him. It was his evi­ dence that brought years at ostracism and misery upon Lieut. Hayne, and there are vague indications that in his own regiment tho officers are beginning to believe that possibly be was not the guilty man. The cavalry officers, of course, say nothing to us on the subject, and I have never beard the full story. If he has been, as is suggested, the vic­ tim of a scoundrel, and CapL Rayner was at fault in his evidence, no punish­ ment on earth could be too great for the villain who planned his ruin, and no re­ morse could atone for Capt Rayner’s share. 1 never saw so sad f * mortal man as Mr. Hayne’t Steven Van Antwerp, I wish I were a man! I would trace that mystery to the bitter end. ••This is a strange letter to send to—to you; but I am a strange girt. Already 1 am more than expecting you to write and release mo unconditionally; and you ought to do it. 1 do not say I want it “Faithfully, at least, yours, v “Nklue. “P. 8.—Should you write to Kate, you aro not to tell her, remember, of my meeting with. Mr. Bayne. Of course ] am anxious to have your reply to thst letter; but it will be five days yet.” An odd letter, indeed, for a girl not yet twenty, and not of a hope inspiring character; but when it reached Mr. Van Antwerp he did not pale in reading it; 4 his face was ghastly before ho began. If anything, be seemed relieved by some passages, though rejoiced by none. Then be took from an inner pocket the letter that bad reached him a few days previ­ ous, and all alone in his room, late at night, he read it over again, threw it upon the (Able at which he was sitting, then, with passionate abandonment buried his face in his arms and groaned aloud in anguish.

Mias Travers hurried from the parlor, the swish of her skirts telling loudly of her presence there. She went again to her room. What could it mean? Why wm her proud, imperious Kate holding secret interviews with this coarse and vulgar woman? What con corn was it of hers that Clancy should be “worse" about Mr. Bayne? It could not mean that the mischief be would de was mischief to the man who had saved his life and hte property. That wm out of the question. It could not mean that the poor, broken down, drunken fellow had the means in his power of furthei harming a man who had ^dready been made to suffer so mucj>. Indeed. Kate’s very exclamation, the very tone in which she spoke, allowed a distress oi mind that arose from no fear for om whom she hated as she hated Bayne. Her anxiety was personal. It was foi her busband and for herself she feared, or woman's tone and tongue never yet revealed a secret Nellie Travers stood in Iwr roorr stunned and bewildered, yet trying hare to recall and put together all the scat­ tered stories and rumors that had reached her about the strange conduct of Clancy after lie was taken to the hoe pftal—especially abqut his heart broken wail when told that it wm Lieut. Hayn< who bad rescued him and little Kak from hideous death. Somewhere, some how, thia man was connected with the mystery which encircled the long hidden truth in Bayne's trouble. Could it bs possible that be did not realise it, and that her sister had discovered it? Could it be—oh, heaven! nol—could it be that Kate wm standing between chat lonely and friendless man and the revelatior: that would set him right? She could not believo it of her!

We hope the republican party will not Invite the calamity It will suffer, and deserve if it shall give its sanction Here are a few we offer. You had better take them now. to boodle campaigns. The Detroit Journal advises the Banner to cease scolding and get to work for measures that will save the republican party of Michigan from the deplorable conditions that confront it will say we will do what we believe every republican should; viz, what we think is consistent, Just and right. In any event, should Gov. Bliss be re­ nominated, we will place his name in its appropriate place on the list of re­ publican candidates, and our columns will be open within reasonable limit, to Possibly we have been disturbed overmuch about the campaign for the gubernatorial nomination two years ago, for we feel that It was a grievloua per­ wages, many of which strikes occurred under the last democratic administra­ tion. The absolute independence of Presi­ dent Roosevelt in always studying what is the right thing to do, and then fear­ lessly doing it, is galling some of the politicians of his own party, who are seeking to bring outcome new candi­ date for the presidency in 1904. We need more men of the Roosevelt stripe in politics to day, men who kill look after the interests of the people instead of the politicians. Any effort to bring forth another candidate than President Roosevelt will not be well (received.. Every official act of his proclaims him republican nomination. Such A thing han never been a part of a republican platform, and the republican party should never countenance it. We believe, therefore, that the meth­ ods employed by Gov. Bliss in his con­ test for the nomination absolved every republican from any duty to support him on any theory of party duty. While we will deeply regret such action by the republican party as would force us to support an opposition candidate for governor, we would feel that we could not be true to ourselves;‘nor to the republican party if we did not do so j under the conditions we have mention-' e<i* : In taking that stand wo believe we are doing far better service to the re­ publican party than wecould by stifling our convictions and helping to fasten upon the republican party this shame­ ful precedent of givimr a second term the convention system, and the vocation of the political boss and ward “heeler” will be largely destroyed* and such a » 'thing tuiug as as “bossism" oossism and ana party party • dictation by any class or clique would be almost impossible. \ It is an open secret that, iu practical* ly every county, a few of the larger delegations from more populous towns 100 cans red Salmon, 1 lb. can Tally Ho Succotash............ 10u 100 Spinach, 3 lb. cans............... l»e 50 King Bird Corn............ ....Sc 100 California Peaches, heavy 50 syrup.................. ......................

Paper Bands St Petersburg. March 18.—A stu­ dents' riot here yesterday, in which over 10,000 people participated, kept a small army of police and cavalry busy throughout the day. Probably 100 arrests were made, but the repres­ sive measures were not so strict as on the corresponding Sunday of 1901. While many persons were injured, no fatalities were reported. The students placarded the city Sunday night, an­ nouncing that they intended to hold a grievance meeting, and the authori­ ties, taking the hint, made extensive preparations. Crowds Increased in the main thor­ oughfares until noon, when every of­ ficer in command of a squad In front of the Hotel d'Europe begged the crowd there to disperse and go home. The demonstrators refused and the mounted troops began slowly clearing tho streets. At 12:30 p. m. the stu­ dents attempted to organise a proces­ sion in front of the hotel mentionfid, singing revolutionary songs and shoutr Ing “Free Russia.'* "Dowa with the a><»«»mrv" *rhe police and cavalry then charged, but used only their Cos­ sack whips and the flat of their sabres. Many persons were hurt but only a few were seriously injured. The fight­ ing continued during tho remainder of the afternoon, breaking out in frosh planes continually. One of the most severe fights of the day was concluded only a few minutes before the czarina, in an open sleigh, passed the spot whore it occurred. FROM The students of St. Petersburg on Sunday, March 17. 1901, organized what was intended to be an imposing demonstration Ln front of the cathe­ dral of Our Lady of Kasan, the occa­ sion being the anniversary of the death cf Vetrora, a girl who commit­ ted suicide some years ago in a dungeon of the political prison in the fortress of St Peter and St. Paul In order to escape infamous persecution.

New York, March -Bellamy Chicago, Kalamazoo and Saginaw R R. Time Table. ____ In effect N Standard Storer, ^United States minister to Spain, arrived Sunday on the Ameri­ can liner St. Louis from Southampton. Mr. Storer was surprised to learn that a rumor had been circulated that he had beta recalled from his post and emphatically denied that there was ths slightest foundation for such a re­ port. Speaking of the king's accession, Mr. Storer said: "There will be no formal coronation, as the king of Spain is supposed to ho born crowned. He will merely take the oath to preserve the constitution, and there will be th** customary cere­ monies. It was, in f ct, a question up to the last moment whether tho rep­ resentatives of foreign governments should be specially Invited to witness the accession. Only the night before I left Madrid the ministers of state personally informed me that the king would be pleased to have a represen­ tative of the United States present. On this President Roosevelt desig­ nated J. L. M. Curry to attend as our representative.

The three freight bills reproduced in this advertise­ ment, show that we have received 480 bundles of wall paper. There are 50 rolls in a bundle; thus the amount received on these freight bills is 24,000 rolls. This represents about onehalf the wall paper we have received for this Spring’s trade. We buy direct from manufacturers in large quantities, and save jobbers’ profits. And in buying in such quantities the cost for freight per roll is about half a cent. Thus it can be seen tliat we can sell cheaper than any sample book man, who has to order in small quantities of jobbers and pay their profits and large express or freight bills on amount ordered. In doing the immense business we are doing we are you We won’t let anyone undersell uh be he sample book man, catalogue house or city dealer, have never seen the dray loads »f Wall Paper left at our store or looked ovei, . ____ ____ , you have no idea of the amount of paper we handle.

That very after­ noon, just after stable call, she found herself unoccupied for the time being, and decided to go over and see Mrs. Waldron a few momenta. The servant admitted her to the little army parlor, and informed her that Mrs. Waldron had stepped out, but would be home directly. A bright wood fire was blazing on the hearth and throwing flickering lights and shadows about the cozy room. The piano stood invitingly open, and on the rack were some waltzes of Strauss sue remembered having heard the cavalry band play a night or two previous. Seat­ ing herself, she began to try then*., and speedily became interested. Hur back being to the door, she did not n otice that man. She continued slor.ly “picking out” the melody, for the Ught was grow­ ing dim and it was wit) - difficulty that she could distinguish the notea Twice she essayed a somewhat complicated passage, became entangled, bent down and closely ocahned the music, began ugni.., uuce more became involved, ex­ claimed impatiently, “How absurd!’’and whirled about on the piano stool, to find herself facing Mr. Hayne. Now that the bandage was removed from his eyes it was no such easy matter to meet him. Her sweet face flushed in­ stantly as he bent low and spoke her name. “I had no idea any one waa here. It quite startled me,” she said, as she with­ drew from his the hand she had me­ chanically extended to him. “It was my hope not to Interrupt you," he answered, in the low, gentle voice she had marked before. “You helped me when my music was all adrift the other night. May I not help you find some of this?' “I wish you would play, Mr. Hayne." •‘I will play for you gladly, Miss Trav­ ers, but waltz music is not my forte. Let me see what else there is here," and he began turning over the sheets on the stand. « Mlnf.riBalrecept(0Ilto it -re­ exclaimed Miss Travers; and then the color mounted to her brow. He must think her extremely absorbed In hfaplay­ ing; and so indeed she was. "You are very fond of music, I see," bo said, at a venture. "Yes, very; but I play very little and very badly. Pardon mo, Mr. Hayne, but you have played many years, have you not?" “Not so very many; but—there have been many in which I had little else to do but practice." She reddened again. It was so un­ like him, she thought, to refer to that matter in speaking to her. He seemed to read her: "I speak of It only that 1 may say to you again what I began just before Mrs. Waldron came. You gave me no oppor­ tunity to thank you the other night, and I may not have another. You do not know what an event in my life that meeting with you was*, and you cannot know how I have gone over your words again and again. Forgive me the emTravers. We are so unlikely to meet at nil that you can afford to indulge me this once." He was smiling so gravely, sadly, now, and had risen and waa stand­ ing by her as she sat there to the big easy chair, still gazing into the Are, but listening for his every word. “In five long years I have beard no words from a woman’s lips that gavame such joy and comfort as those you spoke so hurriedly and without premeditation. Only those who know anything of what my past has been could form any idea of the emoticn with which I heard you. If I could not have seen you to aay how— how I thanked you, I would have had to write. Thia explains what I said a white ago; I owe you more pleasure Chan I can ever give. But one thing was certain: I could not bear the idea that you should not be told, and by me, how grateful your words were to me—how grateful I was to you. Again, may God bless your And now be turned abruptly away, awaiting no answer, reseated himself at the piano and retouched the keya But, though sho sat motionless and speech­ less, she knew that bo had l>een trem­ bling so violently and that his hands were still so tremulous he could play no more. It was some minutes that they sat thus, neither speaking; and as he re­ gained his self control and began to at­ tempt some simple little melodies, Mra. Waldron returned: “How very domestic you look, young peoplel Shall we light the lamps?' *Tve stayed too long already," said Miss Travers, springing to her feet. “Kate does not know I'm out, and will bo wondering what has become of her sister." She laughed nervously. “Thank you so much for the music, Mr. Hayne! Forgive my running off so suddenly, won’t you, Mrs. Waldron?’ she asked, pleadingly, as she put her hand in hen; and as her hostess reassured her she bent and kissed the girl's flushed cheek. Mr. Hayno was still standing patiently bv the center table. Once more she turned, and caught his eye, flushed, half beaitated^ttien held out her hand with quick “Good evening, Mr. Hayne.

Farrington to Jackson Monday morning to begin his three-Jear term for killing Jesse Hook­ er, the man who ruined his home. William J. Savage, overcoat klepto­ maniac, went along also to begin a five-year sentence. As the result of a discovery made Monday, Bert Farrington left this city to serve out his sentence with prac­ tically no hope of securing a pardon. His fatal love for the woman who, in her own ruin caused that of her hus­ band as well, is the cause of the hope­ lessness of Farrington’s case, and has estranged him from his friends and even his relatives, who have worked in his behalf, without ceasing, ever since the committing of the crime for which he was convicted. Ever since the trial Farrington's friends have insisted that he break off once and for all his relations with the woman who, as Jesse Hooker's paramour, wrecked hla home and drove him to desperation, and the slaughter of Hooker at the latter’s home in this city. He has promised, but has failed to keep that promise, and when Ed Farrington, the prison­ er’s brother, found out yesterday that Bert had written a letter to Mrs. Far­ rington, he threw up his hands and said he would have nothing more to do with the attempt to secure the par­ don. The letter, which was intercepted, had been intrusted to an Ignorant em­ ploye of Farrington s meat market at Milan. It was for his wife from "Bert.” Ed Farrington, holding the letter In hls hand, said that he had been most sanguine of securing the pardon with­ in 30 days. Now he refuses to do any­ thing more for him. Sentiment here has changed very much since the above facts began to leak, and it is very doubtful if many signers could now be secured to a petition for Far­ rington’s release.

Greater New York, which comprises the former cities of New York and HruoKlyn and several; other towns in cjrjse vicinity, is situated on Long Is­ land Sound and New York Bay at the aniuth of the Hudson river. It te the chief commercial port and largest city iu the United States,’ and has one of _h finest and most picturesque har!.o s iu the world. The city covers an ar< a of square miles and contains an estimated population of 3,437,200, .-Jill it is. next [to London, the largest cii in the world. The city is divided mm five sections or boroughs—Man: h.i.tan! Borough; the' original New Y.rk itity; Brooklyn Borough, the (oiiiier city of Brooklyn; Queen’s B< rough, that portion of Queen’s co intv, Long Island, which was annex­ ed to the city; Btoux Borough, that portion of Westchester- county which wds annexed; and Richbnond Borough, • .-Vering all of what formerly was Stiten Island. The Boroughs of Man­ hattan and Brooklyn are connected by the Eabt river suspension bridge, which is one Of the largest and finest structures of its kind in existence. There are numerous resorts and ob­ jects of interest in and about Greater New \fork. The dty’s parks cover an area of 73,336 acres. The Battery is a beautiful park situated at the southern extreniity of Manhattan Island, over­ looking the bay, and Is protected by a massive sea wall. A portion of this park is taken up by the famous Castle Garden, a point familiar to the mem­ ory of numerous immigrants. Central 1’ark occupies the geographical center of Manhattan Island and is one of the finest pleasure grounds in the world. In 1his park are ' the two famous Croton reservoirs, five lakes, numerous bridges and arches, many fine statues, the Botanical Gardens, the Zoological Gardens and the Metropolitan Museum, of Fiiii? Arts. i • There are a great many streets in this city which will prove very interest­ ing to visitors. Broadway is the prin­ cipal business thoroughfare of Greater New York. This street is 80 feet wide and vjc tends from the Battery to Cen­ tral 1’ark, a distance of five miles. The Boulevard is a continuation of Broad­ way, above Forty ninth street, and ex­ tends ;o Harlem river. It is 150 feet wide f nd is divided in the center by a ^•ries of ornamental plots filled with shrubbery and flowers. It is the favor­ great sale for the wood pulp flowers, which are packed into little disks and when dropped into water open at once into very pretty creations. These flowers are well made and one wonders how a box of 15 dr 20 of them can be sold for the small sum of five cents. While doing the Bowery with a Journal reporter, I had an oppotunity to attend a dance given by the “Bowery 400." In Bowery dance halls dress suits and low cut gowns are never seen; neither are there any “wall flowert.” Ask a Bow­ ery girl at a dance where her chaperone is, and she will think you are “string­ ing” or “conning” her, which is the Bowery parlance for making game of one. Pick out one of the prettiest girls in the crowd and ask the first man you see to introduce you, and he’ll spot you for an outsider and you won’t get the introduction. What’s more, he’ll “put । the gang next” and they’ll “do” you if you don’t strike for the tall timbers im­ mediately. They are a canny lot in the Bowery, and they don’t like frills any better than they do strangers. The reason for all these Bowery ec­ centricities is traceable. A pair of slip-shod shoes are much more com­ fortable to dance in than patent leath­ ers, and a flannel shirt or sweater is much easier about the neck than a “biled” collar. The man who appears in a dress suit will be forever tabooed from Bowery polite society. The Bowery girls are never wall flowers for the simple reason that, if the boys wont dance with them they will dance with one another. The "Only” dance hall is’ over an Irish saloon in the heart of the Bowery. It is about 40 ft long and 20 ft. wide. The walls are unpapered and grimy. But small and unprepossessing as it is, it is one of the brightest spots in the life of the Bowery—a life that has few such spots. On the particular night that we visit­ ed the “Only,” a fiddler was sitting in one corner of the room, reeling out rag­ time to the tum-tum accompaniment of a cracked piano. The pianist smok­ ed a cigaret while he played, and his head was wreathed with smoke. A dozen couple were on the floor. The men were undersized, some of the wo­ men topping them head and shoulders. Gigarets hung from their lipa and one or two were chewing cigar stubs. A tew kept their hats on. Those who didn’t held them in their hands while they danced. But dance! That is where the Boweryites are strong. They really can dance. Every step is half a slide. The feet do not leave the floor. The knees of the dancers seem to need stiffening. Limply, loosely, they glide round and round, seldom reversing. The funny thing about these dances is that the participants seldom smile and never laugh. , Dancing with them is a serious, if pleasant business. Their faces are solemn, vacant, dreamy. There are pauses, but no “awkward pauses.” What’s the use of talking when you’re dancing anyway? Con­ versation in the Bowery is never “made.” Before we left the “Only” We paused in the hall below to look through the dobr which led into the saloon. The place was full of men, and a few wo­ men. All were roaring with laughter. A chained monkey was the cause of the merriment The little animal was drinking lager from a schooner, and ite dr ve above Central Park.

An­ other place which interests many visit­ ors and; which is, without doubt, the most famous street in Greater New York, H the “good old Bowery." In the words of the spring poet: "It’s not so swell as grand Broadway. Nor stylish as Central Park. But superfine, and dead In line.

The Fremont News publishes the fol­ lowing in regard to a divorce granted to Mrs. A. F. Hutchinsan: I “Friday afternoon Jqdge Buckland JI heard the divorce case of Anna Hutch­ inson vs. Dr. A. F.

It was all a Mistake, Due to Suspic­ ions of Detroit Barbers from Whom The hurry-up wagon for state of­ ficials who trespass on local territory Is the latest application of justice. The spectacle of the stong arm of the law arresting an unarmed but equally con­ stitutional agent of the same law was afforded yesterday, when the Detroit police placed Secretary Emery 1. Busby of the state barbers' commission under arrest while performing his duty as licence fee collector. Busby came in this week from Has­ tings, Mich., and proceeded to collect feee from delinquent barbers so faith­ fully that his conduct was viewed with suspicion. Being'unfamiliar with the streets of the city, he secured the ser­ vices of John White, a Detroit barber, to pilot him around to the scenes of the various delinquencies. One barber, who was asked to part with the fee be owed the state, thought he was up against a bare-faced bunco game and lost no time in communi­ cating his frame of mind to the police. The hurry-up wagon was put into com­ mission and the trail followed hot foot after the state official. Secretary Busby and hie pilot were overtaken on Brush street, near Adams avenue, and the police waved ceremony in the very act of hustling the pair into the patrol cart. Despite the objections of the unlucky state official he brought up at the cen­ tral station. He there succeeded in identifying himself and embarrassing the police. Profuse apologies were forthcoming.--Detroit Tribune. When Emery L Busby, of Hastings, Mich., secretary of the state barbers’ commission, walked out of the police station yesterday noon, it was with a consciousness of having had a “close shave,” and the kind of tonic fer which Busby had a longing at that particular moment is not usually applied to the scalp. His troubles all arose over a case of mistaken Identity, which result­ ed in his taking a ride in the “city’s hack’’ and beingiocked up as a “sus­ pect,” only to be released a little later by. the officers, to whom mention of the case brings.up as unpleasant mem­ ories as it does to Busby. He had been in the city for several days, holding examinations at the Griswold house Wednesday and Thurs­ day for aspiring amputators of hirsute appendages, and issuing licenses to successful candidates, Friday morning, with John White, a local barber, who acted as a steering committee, he start­ ed out to locate a lot of barbers who have not paid up their license fees, which were due last fall. John Johnson, a colored barber, re­ siding on Brush street, who had been asked for his fee by Busby, became suspicious and notified the police that a slick stranger with a new kind of confidence game was abroad In the land. A couple of officers and the pa­ trol wagon were soon burning up the pavement on their way to the scene of the suspected confidence game and White and Busby, despite their pro­ tests, were unceremoniously— bundled into the wagon and given the experi­ ence of a ride to the station. At headquarters they were turned oypr to Capt. McDonnell, who, after listening to their tale of woe, released them with profuse apologies. Busby states that White has been re­ tained by him to look after the inter­ ests of the commission here and prose­ cute violators of the law.—Detroit Free To the Supreme Court. The Board of Supervisors convened yesterday morning to consider the small pox bill of Dr. D. E. Fuller, amounting to 8200, against the county. The bill was incurred in the case of small pox 1n this city several mouths ago, when Dr. M. C. Woodmansee was confined to the house with the disease. For treating it Dr.F. charged .the coun­ ty 8200, including in the bill the disin­ fecting of Dr. Woodmansee’s and Baker Shriner’s houses and vaccinating 10 people. The Mayor and City Recorder, constituting a majority of the Health Board of the city O. K*d the bill for 8300^ and it was presented before the supervisors at the last session of the board. The board thought the amount excessive, and allowed it kt >100. This was unsatisfactory to Dr.'nFuller and the case was taken to the Circuit Court, Judge Smith finding in favor of Dr. Fuller. Yesterday the board met to decide what should be done. An informal discussion was bad, and a vote as to whether it should be paid or not, re­ sulted in a tie, and thus the matter stood until this morning. This morn­ ing the board met again, andfia motion to carry ths case to the Supreme Court ty, and there hasn’t been but three Pell street, and their principal cus­ <rf Jaj Henry Arbour has resigned his posi­ tomers are people from the upper part Diamond-----------of the city, many of whom drop in knewn in this city, wi* entered by tion as postmaster at DeUpn, after while out seeing the sights.

For Member of the Board of Review resulted in a tie vote, but upon recon­ sideration, the vote stood 11 to 7 in fa­ vor of taking the case to the Supreme Court which will be done. The grounds for taking the case to the Supreme Court are there: 1st, the law requires the Board of Health to keep an item ized account of the expense of each person, the board claiming that this was not done in the case of Dr. Woiodmansee, as the vaccinating of several people, and expense of disinfecting Baker Shriner’s house, as well as Dr. Woodmansee’s was included in Dr. Futter’s bill 2d, the board claims that the Ml! is excessive, as they claim that tbo Dr. admitted that he prescribed do medicines, and was in Dr. Woodman­ see’s house but three times; that 8200 is too high a price for three visits.

Onoe tJietinflB, Aicbtiian. “,4 would virtually pronounce one, at least, of their own officers to have repeatedly and persistently given false testimony In the case of Waldron and the cavalry, however, it was possible for Bayne tc return their calls of courtesy, becauto they, having never “sent him to Coven­ try,” received him precisely as they would receive any other officer. With the Eiflers it was different flaring once "cut” him as though by unanimous accord, and having taught the young of­ ficers joining year after year to regard him as a criminal, they could be restored toMr. Hayne’a friendship, as has been said before, only "on confession of error.’ Buxton and two or three of his stamp called or left their cards on Mr. Bayne because their colonel had so done: but precisely as the ceremony was performed, just so was it returned. Buxton was red with wrath over what he termed Bayne’s conceited and super­ cilious manner when returning bis call: “I called upon him like a gentleman, by thunder, just to let him understand I wanted to help him out of the mire, and told him if there was any thing I could do for him that a gentleman could do, not to hesitate about letting me know, and when he came to my house today, damned if he didn't patronize me!— talked to me about the Plevna siege, and wanted to discuss Gourko and the Bal­ kans or some other fool tiring: what in thunder have I to do with campaigns in Turkey?—and I thought he meant those nigger soldiers the British have in India —Goorkhas, I know now—and 1 did tel) him it was an awful blunderAthat only a Russian would make, to take those Sepoy fellows and put ’em into a winter cam­ paign. Of course I hadn’t been booking up the subject, and he had, and sprung it on me; and then, by gad, as he was go­ ing, he said he had books and maps he would lend me, and if there was any­ thing he could do for me that a gentleman could do, not to hesitate about asking. Damn his impudence!" , Poor Buxton! One of his idiosyncrasies was to talk wisely to the juniors on the subject of European campaigns and to criticise the moves of gendrals whose very names and centuries were ont-mgling snares. His own subalterns were, unfortunately for him, at the'house when Hayne called, and when he, as was his wont, began to expound on current mili­ tary topics. “A little learning” even he bad not, and the dangerous tiling that that would have been was supplanted by something quite as bad, if not worse.

Letter after letter came, eager, imploring, full of tenderest love and devotion, full of the saddest apprehension, never re­ proaching, never doubting, never com­ manding or restraining.

Surely, as this man's wife there would be no serfdom; and, yet, could abe wed a man for whom sho felt no spark of love? They went down to the creek one fine morning early in April.

OATTLK RAICINO Chattanooga, Tenn., April l.—An ex­ plosion of gas In the Nelson mine of Dayton Coal & Iron Co., at Dayton, Tenn., late Monday Ignited the dry ;oal dust in the mine and caused a terrific explosion. Twenty-two men are known to be dead. Ten bodies have been recovered. Twelve bodies are still in the mine. Gaa exists in the Nelson mine and the men are required to use safety lamps. It is a rule of the company that the miners shall place their fuses ready to be lighted for blasts just be­ fore quitting work each day, and work­ men known as "fireman” go through the mine after all the miners are out and set off these blasts. The miners quit work at 4:30 yesterday afternoon. It takes them about 45 minutes to get out of the mine. The two firemen who are supposed to have caused tbe explosion are Lark Hunter and John Harney. They shot the blasts about 4:45 o’clock, before all the miners could get out of the mine. It Is sup­ posed that one of the fuses was defec­ tive and resulted in what is known as a "blown blast-’* The flames shooting ont from the blast ignited the gas, which In turn ignited the accumulation of dry coal dust in the mine. The ex­ plosion that followed was terrific in its intensity. It shot out of the mouth of the mine and completely wrecked the shed at the mine entrance. Three men were Wiled while standing out­ side the mine, two seriously and one fatally injured. The company. states there were but 75 men at work in the mine yesterday. Most of them were out of the mine when the explosion occurred. THE COMMITTEE REPORT On Cuban Reciprocity BUI M. V. MdNNES, No. 2 Merrill Block, Detroit, Mich.

C Washington, April 1.—■Chairman Payne Monday presented to the house the report of the ways and means com­ mittee on the Cuban reciprocity Mil, which tha committee had ordered re­ ported earlier in the day. After reciting President Roosevelt’s recommendations in behalf of Cuba, Mr. Payne says: “Our relations to Cuba are peculiar. In our declaration of war with Spain and ever since we have solemnly proclaimed to the world that our object was to give to Cuba a stable and Independent government. We have labored for more than three years to accomplish that result, and in this endeavor we have spared no ex­ pense. The report adds that we are bound to care for our own people, but after E’viewing the American sugar sltuaon. says: Mt can work no injury to our own industry if we make this small reduc­ tion on Cuban sugar. The enactment of this bill will not affect the protec­ tion of sugar producers of the United States. There is no reasonable pre­ tense that the same reduction on other Cuban products will injure any other American industry.” Following the action of the ways and means committee in the Cuban reciprocity bill, the republican mem­ bers who oppose the bill held a confer­ ence in the committee room of Rep. William Alden Smith of Michigan. About 30 members were present, rep­ resenting the various states Interested in beet sugar production. After the meeting it was claimed by those present that about 30 republi­ cans would speak and vote against the bill. Ways and means leaders feel confident that the bill will pane, prob-, ably by republican votes. In any event, there is said to be more than sufficient democratic support of the bill to off­ set ths republican defection.

OU remember the old lady who rode for the first' time on a railway train. There was a frightful collision, but when the rescuers reached her she was quite calm. She said she supposed they always stopped that way. The story well illus­ trates why so many women are satisfied to live without Ivory Soap. They have never tried it! Naturally enough, they think that annoying odors, sharp chemi­ cals, and wasteful greasiness are common to all soap*. ForBruises Omeda Oil It would hardly be truthful to say Omega Oil curtt Bruises and Sprains and Strains. Nature herself does most of the curing, but the Oil stops the pain while the bruised place is being cured. The pain is what annoys you, and Omega Oil must be giv­ en The credit for fixing you up so you will not suf­ fer. Omega Oil soothes, softens and comforts any pain you apply it to. If the pain is not too great, the Oil is to be well rubbed in. This sets up a good circulation of the blood, and the result is always beneficial. Besides rubbing Omega Oil into the pores, some of th* Oil should be bound around the ailing part. K A. K K K K A K K ., K K i K K * ARE YOU A PRISONER?

The imports of manufactur en* materials in the 8 months ending with February 1902 were, according to a statement just issued by the Treasury Bureau of Statistics, 8270,202,774, and the exports of finished manufactures daring the same period were 8257,907, 43p. Thus in ^dags of the fiscal year the manufacturers have imported 270 million dollars' worth of material and exported 257 million dollare’ worth of their finished product, thus averaging more than 81,000,000 of both imports and exports for every day of the fiscal year ep to the beginning of the present month. The importation of manu­ facturer*’ materials has greater in um eight months just ended than in the corresponding period of any preced­ ing year. The following table shows the total imports of manufacturers’ materials and exports of manufactures in the eight mouths ending with February in each year during the last few years.

Later, Walt returned the overe-alls for which Glen charged 75 cents, the suit of clothes valued at 818 waa exchanged for one of larger dimensions.

Solos, duets, quartettes and choruses were sung in a manner that reflected very highly upon the musical ability of those taking part. Every number was rendered so nicely that individual men­ tion would be unfair, unless each one received the mention to which he, or she, is certainly entitled, and for her Dart in the work Mrs. Troxel is entitled to the many compliments she received. The music at the Presbvterian church was also of a very high order, and the recitation of Mrs. Menhennick at that church in the evening is also high­ ly spoken of.

April 1.—When the case of Thomas F. McGarry, charged with bribery U> connection with the water supply conspiracy, was called In the superior court Monday morning, the attorneys for the defense made a motion for a change of venue on the ground that the respondent could not secure a fair trial In this edandher appetite left her.

Prosecutor Ward, arguing against the change, denied that there had been any great excitement over the case, and said that whatever there had been had subSlfled. He also al­ leged that the defense was too late in asking for the change. The case had boon pending for several months, and early in March* the defense, by attor­ ney. had agreed upon a date for begin­ ning the trial. Notice that a motion for a change of venue would be made was not filed with the prosecutor until late Saturday afternoon, which. In effact, was delaying until the day of trial what should bave been done weeks ago.

The printing on the package is all in green ink. The trade mark is a leaf, with the words, “ Omega OiL It’s Green.” Down near the bot­ tom is the signature — Higinio Espinosa. Look for this name, because it is a guarantee that yon are getting the genuine Omega Oil, that has cured so many cases of Rheumatism, Sore Throat, Cold in the Chest, Neuralgia, Stiff Joints, Sprains, Weak Backs, Strains and Bruises. There are a lot of other liniments that may be bought in dfug stores, and a few of them are pretty good, too, but you of course want the safest and surest remedy, *> youl buy nothing but Omega Oil when you hare a pain or ache in flesh, muscles or joints.

The democratic party is on a great etill hunt for an issue in 1904. The leaders of the party, and several states, have divorced themselves from the “heaven bom ratio” of 16 to L Any ■old thing in the shape of an issue will he most thankfully received. Cecil Rhodes may well be called the <Caraegid of England, as he has willed the bulk of his mammoth estate to the ’cause of education. One very com­ mendable feature of it is that no coun­ try is the sole beneficiary, but many countries are substantially remembered. Gen. Miles will doubtless soon be placed on the retired list. He has been a source of annoyance and disturbance to three presidents. While he has done many acts that would subject him to very severe’discipline, yet his record of the past has not been overlooked or ’forgotten. The chief! executive of Michigan is said to have jeered somewhat yesterday at the suggestion that Mr. Stearns - might be a candidate for governor on “an antl-riliss platform.” Gov. Bliss does not seem to realize that this will ■be the platform of all his' opponents, if he has any. It- is by no- means a bad "platform, either, however little the governor may happen to think of it. The ideal governor comes pretty nearly being everything that Gov. Bliss has «not been.—Detroit Free Press. If the republican daily papers of the •state which have so severely pounced •ou Mayor Perry since his defeat for Mayor of Grand Rapids, would now turn their attention to state politics, and as severely denounce those who have been guilty ef. corrupting state politics, it would certainly result not only in more wholesome politics, but would give added force and strength to the republican press of the state. There ought not to be any difference between “tweedle dee” and >“tweedb* dum.” Something over a year ago the Sen­ ate adopted a resolution, calling upon the Secretary of War to famish infor­ mation of the authenticity of the order, nahl to have been issued by the late Philippine leader, Gen. Ldna, for the massacre of all of the residents of Manila. The Secretary recently com­ plied with theorder, furnishing a photo­ graphic reproduction of the order, ‘ bearing date Feb. 1st, 1899, and wilh the order are a number of letters, tend­ ing to prove the authenticity of the or­ der, and to further confirm it, are the statements made by Aguinaldo. The ■ massacre order was found among the personal effects of Lieutenant Col. Joee Leyba, an intimate friend of Gen. Luna, and one of bls trusted advisors. At the time the order was issued Gen. Luna was Assistant Secretary of War, and the commanding general of the Philippine army, operating in the north­ ern boundary of the city of Manila In giving hie views on the army re­ organisation bill, says the Jackson Citizen.

The changes that occur in the vol­ ume cf currency in circulation in this country are not usually noted .by busi­ ness men, who are inclined to regard the matter with indifference If only they find they can get money enough to supply their needs. But in truth the relation between the currency supply ou the one hand and the condition of prices and the activity of business on the other hand, are of the closest na­ ture, and it would be well if the people would fully comprehend the fact. Within twenty years there has been an increase of the volume of perfectly sound money that is hardly realized by the man who is absorbed in his own af­ faire. In 1879, for example, all the ac­ tual money of all kinds'that the Amer­ ican people had to ao business with amounted to 816 million dollars. In 1896 this had risen to 1.500 millions, or nearly double. In 1901 it further en­ larged to 2,200 millions. Thns within twenty-two years the volume of cur­ rency had increased over two hun­ dred per cent, and every dollar of the whole mass is of incontestible sound­ ness. One of the results of this safe and wise expansion is perceived in th" notable advancement lately df the prices of form p«*»5u4.w‘, with the reouit that the farmers, nearly half of the population, have become more liberal buyers of the products of the factories. Thus there has been much more busi­ ness to do, and, as the money to do it with waa in existence, the business has been done. We assert with confidence that the present high prosperity of the nation Is to be attributed, first to the existence of a truly protective tariff, and, second, to the presence in the country of an abundance of absolutely sound currency. It is really amazing to what an ex­ tent official crookedness, Rottenness, corruption and debauchery will be tol­ erated by the law abiding Citizenship of a community before it is set down on by the people. Grand Rapds fur­ nished a notable example of patience along this line, but the whole gang seems to have been cleaned out. The defeat of Perry for mayor of that city adds emphasis to the fact that RIGHT always wins in the end. The location of the ill-fated Chicora of the Graham Jt'Mofrton Transporta­ tion line, plying between Milwaukee and St. Joseph, which went down with all on board several years ago, has never yet been definitely located. Monday some fishermen made a discov­ ery that may solve the mystery. These fishermen had a net set in about 100 feet of water several miles out from St Joseph and In attempting to Yaise it the het caught on some obstruction that could not be moved. The net was tom loose and in raising it a cap. with buttons stamped “G. ct M.,” was found in the net. Later the bones of a human hand, were brought up,in a.net It is thought by many that the net was caught on the sunken Chicora. The weather prophet says: April is expected to be a cold month. Our cup of winter is not yet full, and the law* of compensation requires below normal temperatures fur the spring months. Don’t be in a hurry about putting out your house plants and planting early tender vq|e tables north of the 38th parallel. Freezing during the night, thawing during the day has not yet left northern gardens. Rain fall of April will Drobably be below normal till u.e last half of the month when moisture will probably increase. Indi­ cations are that the month will start in quite cold and up to about the 18th the temperature will rise more rapidly than the natural rise of the season, then fall at the end of the month. William A. Tateum, of Grand Rap­ ids, the electric railroad promotor, has returned from a visit to the east where he went to enlist eastern capital in the construction of the electric road from Grand Rapids to Jackson. He claims to have* been very successful, and states that a company of eastern men will be here this week to take a trip along the entire line of the route. The assignment of the Everett Moore syn­ dicate of Cleveland, shortly followed by the failure of Frank Andrews, of Detroit, tended to discourage the build­ ing of more electric roads in this state, but as subsequent investigation proved that electric road stocks were all right, and paying properties, eastern capital is more ready to invest. Perhaps Has­ tings may yet have an electric road.

And Friday night last Human nature is something that to very hard to satisfy. The poor man craves for riches, despite the fact that he is in the enjoyment of splendid phys­ ical health—one of the greatest bless­ ings on earth. The rich man very often finds that by the time he has amassed his fortune he has ruined his health, and for the latter would willing­ ly sacrifice the former. It is said that John D. Rockefeller, the richest man in the world, and with an income so large he does not know how to spend it all, has become bald, his eyebrows are gone, his mustache aud even his eyelashes have disappeared. He is a victim of a disease that is attributed to the nervous dyspepsia he has long suffered, and ao changed hss Lq become that his friends hardly recognize him. This to not the penalty of being rich, but it is safe to say the richest man in the world would gladly part with the big end of hia wealth for the rugged strength of the hired man and the lusty appetite of the trench digger. With all his wealth he cannot buy good health. u Uegetabk Spray Just unloaded a Car oL ft ft ? “ot let au show yta. popnUr The prices and styles are ft We have been ft $ ft & V t* ley ve �V.

Griswold and Bennett of Bay City Were Rsarrested. Bay Ctty. Mich., April 8.—Dr. R. W. Griswold and E. T. Bennett, charged with manslaughter in connection with the death of Agnes Ebersteln, were re­ arrested Monday afternoon and their bail raised from U.0C0 to 15,000. The prosecution at first asked >10,000, but reduced the sum requiring four sureties, however. After consid­ erable hustling both defendants se­ cured the bail and were released. The sudden activity on the part of the prosecution was caused by the re­ ceipt of a telegram from Prosecutor Anneke from Detroit, telling his as­ sistant to take such action. Anneke returned from Detroit last night, accompanied by Chief Murphy, but both positively refuse to discus* any new evidence they may have se­ cured. Arthur Rood Succumbs.

Negro Killed and Wounded Many of His Pursuers. Tuscumbia, Ala., April 7.—Three men are dead, three mortally wounded and four seriously wounded as the re­ sult of Sheriff Gassaway attempting Sunday to arrest Will Reynolds, a des­ perate negro. As soon as possible every man in town who could procure a gun was in the neighborhood, but owing to the location, no one dared to venture within the open space. Dynamite was procured, and the house In which the negro was barricaded was fired upon, but to no effect. At 1 o’clock Capt. Simpson, of the Wheeler Rifles, ar­ rived with 12 guns and 1.000 cart­ ridges. which were distributed among 12 picked men. This company was stationed around the house and rid­ dled it, but the negro had taken refuge in the cellar and returned the fire, killing Jones and wounding Finney. Coal oil was then procured and after hours of hard work the house in which the negro, was located was fired by the Wheeler Rifles, who had arrived •n<he scene. The negro took refuge in a shed and opened fire, killing Wal­ lace and wounding Davis, but the peo­ ple and some militiamen riddled the negro, and the crowd, numbering a thousand, grabbed the body and threw it in the bmning building. Wallace, who* was killed, was closing in on the negro, who shot him through the body. His body fell in the burning debris but .was recovered. Davis. Wallace and Falkner were the men who fired the buUdlug.

Berlin, April 8.—Prince And Princess Henry, who are visiting the Grand Duke of - Hesse, have been Going a good deal of bicyclo riding in the en­ virons of Darmstadt, the capital of the duchy. While out bicycling last Friday with the grand duke on the Heidelberg road, the prince, the princess and their host left the muddy wagon way for a footpath, where the bicycling waa easier. Riding on this footway is for­ bidden by the police regulations. They had proceeded but a short way when a policeman jumped out from a hedge and shouted "Halt." “Dis­ mount” The royal party obeyed this command and the grand duke was sharply questioned by the policeman, who held a bulky notebook in his hand. The duke, who is the reigning sovereign of tbe duchy, replied that he was tbe Grand Duke of Hesse and named his companions as Prince and Princess Henry of Russia. The po­ liceman calmly requested details of the I dentlficatlon. When all three members of the party had answered him satisfactorily, he permitted them to proceed, saying that, according to the regulations, he would report the matter at headquarters. It Is likely that the usual fine of seven marks will be collected from the royal bicyclers. FOUR BURNED TO DEATH. Holocaust In a Boyne City Home.

Many cities profess to possess as a rejic some of the blood of Christ, pre­ served from that which flowed from him during the crucifixion. St Louis brought particles to Paris which he had received from the emperor of Codstantinople. The Church of St John Lateran. in Rome: the Imperial mon­ astery at Weingarten, a church in Man­ tua and the Chapel of the Precious Blood. In Bruges, all put forward simi­ lar claims. The precious blood at Bruges enjoys the widest fame and is reported to have been collected from the Saviour’s wounds by Joseph of A rima then and Nicodemus when they took down the body from the cross. It was brought to Bruges by Thierry of Alsace In 1147. He had received it from his brother-in­ law, Baldwin, king of Jerusalem. Nearly six centuries ago the extraor­ dinary devotion paid to this relic at Bruges by the Inhabitants and visitors had induced the ecclesiastical and civil authorities to Institute a solemn pro­ fession in which it should be borne in the streets. A confraternity of the precious blood, consisting of thirty members, with a prevost and four chaplains, was estab­ lished to guard it at all times. The procession takes place annually, and the blood, contained in a crystal cylinder and Inclosed Ln its shrine, Is carried about with much .pomp and ceremori^.

On tbe ground there is no underbrush, but only ferns of a size and shape that suggest a prehistoric period and fallen trunks that have lain unrotting for 3,000 years. There is no sunlight, and no birds sing. If a storm arises, it is an hour before a- drop reaches the ground. Here al! is as it was since creation, and there is no time. It is tbe perfect alienee.

The Mystery Concerning the Death of Caleb France, Formerly of This County Is Cleared Up. Glen France, son of Caleb France, of Kendall, Van Buren Co., has confessed that he shot bis father, from the effects of which he died. He cliims he took the life of his father in order to save his mother who had been savagely at­ tacked by his father. The following taken from Paw Paw to the Grand , Rapids Herald gives the particulars of V the confession:— Paw Paw. Mich., April 10. -The mem­ bers of the France family, who were ar­ rested at Manton yesterday, on the charge of murdering Caleb France of this county early last February, were brought here today, accompanied by local deputy sheriffs and Mat Pinker­ ton the celebrated Chicago detective, who had secured signed statements from Lulu France and Mrs. Effie Fore­ man and admissions from Mrs. Lydia Eranfie, their mother, and Glen France, their brother. The examination of Glen France was begun before Justice Rowland at 5 o’clock this afternoon. Mrs. Foreman and Lulu France swore to the derails of the crime and both told the same story. Their testimnnv was to the effect that Caleb France, their father, was angered be­ cause Mrs. Foreman was going north to join her husband, and take with her her babv. which France did not want her to do. Mrs. France sided with Ethic. whereat France got mad and knocked his wife down, she falling across the bed. France then began choking her. declaring at the same time he would kill her, and which the witnesses said they thought he would have done had he not beep prevented by other members of the family. Then, according to the .witnesses. Glen, the 15 year old son, at this point in the quarrel, came into the room and shot his father, who rose up from the iben prostrate form of Mrs. France, walked into the kitchen, fell on the door and expired almost immediately. E. T. Anderson, of Plainwell, appear­ ed for the accused. The defense will In? that the deed was committed in or­ der to save the mother’s life. The France farm of 40 acres is loca­ ted about five miles from Kendall and is about 10 rods from any other dwell­ ing. The family was habitually quar­ reling, and Mrs. France bore a doubtful reputation. It is supposed that she de­ sired to get rid of her husband because of his jealousy of the Foreman wom­ an’s father, with whom some corres­ pondence found by the officers shows she had improper relations. Foreman lived at Manton, where all went some weeks since, and where the arrest was made. The officers have the pistol with which the shooting was done. Prosecu­ ting Attorney Anderson was with the officers at Manton when the arrest was made, Deceased had no life insurance, and the causes for the crime are sup­ posed to be the family quarrels and the other - man in the case, causing the wife’s desire to get rid of her husband, the other members of the family being willing to aid her. Hastings Musical Club. The Hastings Musical Club held its regular meeting at the usual place and hour Tuesday evening Apr. 15. After the business had been disposed of the program as given below was carried out Each number was well rendered, and received the close attention of all. Miss Pearl Jackson, of Grand Rapids, showed excellent qualities of voice, in the selections with which she favored the listeners; and the paper by Mr. U H. Thomas deserves especial men­ tion as it dealt with a question which is of vital importance to the United States, His arguments were well founded and interesting, so much so that would time or space permit, many of his thoughts as set forth in the paper would well bear repetition.

Jordan has inaugurated a movement for the seining of bill fish and carp from Gun and its tributary lakee—Payne, Barlow, Mud, Round, Baker and Long lakee—as these fish are destructive to the propogation of food fish in these waters. It may, with certainty, be predicted that In case the large numbers of these deetoyers of food fish in these lakes can be removed and deetoyed, as contemplated, that Gun Jake and its adjoining lakes will, in such case become the best inland waters of Michigan for hook and line fishing for bass, perch, blue gills and calico bass. Mr. Jordan has already had corres­ pondence with the state fish commis­ sioners, the state game and fish warden G. M. Morse, and found that there is no law of this state, at the present time, to authorize the taking by seine from these lakee, bill fish and carp. There­ fore, petitions will be circulated among the residents about the lakes, and the clubs and cottagers interested, for the passage of an act by the legislature of next winter, authorizing such pro­ cedure under the guidance and opera­ tion of the state game and fish warden, a bill for which he has already drafted, and accompanied by petitions will be presented to the legislature at as early a date as possible after the convening of the next session.—Middleville Sun. i Any effort to rid the lakes mentioned of bill fish and carp should meet with proper encouragement. A Home Wedding. STEARNS IN THE RACE HAS ANNOUNCED HIS CANDIDACY FOR GOVERNORSHIP. Briefly Announces the Platform on Which Ho WiU Seek the Suf­ frage of the People. Gov. Bliss will certainly have oppo­ sition in his desire to serve the people of this state a second term for govern­ or, on the ground that he is entitled to it by "precedent.” Mr. Stearns announces his intention of entering the race, says that he will be his own campaign man­ ager and that “boodle” methods will not be used. Mr. Steams will launch his boom from Ludington. Mason county, from which county he frill become a candidate. Following is the text of a letter which be has sent OUt; to many _ _prominent republicans _ throughout the state: “Ludington, Mich., April 12, 1902. Dear Sir—As the result of a confer­ ence with many good republicans throughout the state, and at the solici­ tation of many of those I have known for years to have the best interests of, the state and the party at heart, I have decided to ask for the gubernatorial nomination at the next state conven­ tion. Every candidate should be will­ ing to stake his chances of success up­ on his official record and his attitude upon questions of vital interest to the sjtate. T I trust the work of my friends and myself may insure party success to state, congressional and county tickets. My views upon the questions which seem to me to be of paramount import­ ance are, briefly stated, as follows: 1. The reduction of state taxes by curtailing all unnecessary expenditures. 2. —The completion of the work be­ gun and the final adjustment of the question of taxation so that all prop­ erty, private and corporate, shall be taxed equally. 3. —A oil! in the nature of the LowryWard bill, so called, to relieve the own­ er of mortgaged property from paying taxes on the mortgage and real estate too. 4. —To protect the state against the recovery of damages on account of the repeal of the special charters of certain railroad companies. 5. —The passage of a safe and con­ servative primary election law by which the people will be given full power to control the nomination of candidates and the adoption of party platforms. Those who are aiding my candidacy are. of the opinion that party success is of greater, importance than party prece­ dent I write you to ascertain your views if you desire to express them, upon these subjects and also to ask you to stale your position with refer euce to my candidacy, which will be treated as confidential and highly val­ ued. Soliciting an early reply. Yours truly, Justus S. Stearns. A very pretty home wedding took place in Carlton at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Brooks on Thursday evening, the contracting parties being their daughter Bertha and Edward J. Dubois. Rev. G. E. Bullen officiated. At eight o’clock the bride accompanied by her bridesmaid, Miss Marie Usbome, followed by the groom and best man, Theron Cain, marched down stairs to the beautiful strains of “Mendelssohn’’ played by the bride’s sister, taking their places in front of a large mirror sur­ rounded by evergreens interwoven with pink roses. The artistic corner was made by Mrs. Wm. Fairchild and Miss Jessie Brooks. The bride and bridesmaid were gown­ ed in white and carried carnations, the groom and best man wore black. After the ceremony the guests were seated, and a bountiful supper was served by four young ladles and two gentlemen to about eighty guests. The presents were many and valu­ able. Among them was a check for $200 from the groom’s parents. The young couple left on Saturday morning to vis­ it friends in Vassar. Battle Creek and Striker’s Record. Kalamazoo.

In describing the different types of medium wool sheep in the Banker of last week, I cannot account for my failure to Include the Dorsets, they are medium in size, white face and legs with small horns on ewes as well as rams, a good “all around” sheep, fleece of average weight Ewes are extra good mothers, and very prolific. I had intended in this paper to try to describe the different types of fine wool ajieep, but am sorry that I am not com­ petent to do so. I will only mention two of the principal types, the Amer­ ican Merino and the Rambouillet, ^>ronounoed Ram-bue-lay.) The American Merino is too well known to need any extended description. They are a small sized sheep with dense fleece, and skin with' more or less wrinkles and folds. ^nboulllet Is a larger sheep without J Inkles or folds In the skin, less dens of fleece, shearing less wool thanthe merino. It “has been charged that the Ram­ bouillet was produced by crossing some of the mutton breeds with the Merino, but this is denied by eminent French breeders, who claim that they were produced by a systematic course of breeding for the purpose of increas­ ing the size of the carcass, without any infusion of outside blood. While they accomplished the object sought, yet at the expense of the fleece, a loss in fine­ ness end density always following an increase in size. At the great stock show held in Chicago in’December last, the Rambouillet was the only type of fine woo) sheep on exhibition, their friends claiming that they are a gener­ al purpose sheep, good for both wool and .mutton, but in the fat sheep show of this breed there was but a single ex­ hibitor. He had a “walk away'* for the prizes, being awarded 8100.00 in a very few minutes, but the failure of other owners to compete will likely result in omitting this breed from the premium list in the future, the management claiming that if the friends of the breed fail to show their mutton qual­ ities those qualities must be lacking.

HOW THE IRRIGATING OF LAND or more water rights, and a “ditch rider” distributes the water as it is called for. When a farmer wishes water on a cer­ tain field he arranges his irrigating ditches so they will carry the water where he wishes it, and puts a notice on bis “headgate” to the big ditch, stating when he wants the water. The ditch rider takes a note of this and usually within twenty-four hours after the farmer gives the notice the water will be along and Mr. Farmer must be on hand to take care of it or he may have damage to pay that It would do to other people's crops, if be doesn't take care of it Some times it comes in the middle of the night and sometimes on Sunday; bffiit he must be on hand whenever it cornea. Each crop has to be ir­ rigated about twice each season, and the only thing to prevent a good crop is an occasional hail storm, which never covers a wide stretch, but only a small “streak." . Sugar beete are going to be a very prominent crop in the future in this country. There is under construction several beet sugar factories in this part of the state, one of which is at this town, Eaton. Sugar beets 'and potatoes are very large yieiders here, raising from one to three hundred sacks of potatoes to the acre, one hundred pounds to the sack, (everything is sold by the hundred pounds.) It is not an uncommon sight to see from seventy to one hundred sacks of potatoes on a wagon drawn by two horses, and the horses would not mind "H as much as they would with half as many bushels on most of the roads of Barry Co. They cut the Alfalfa hay from three to four times a season and get one or two tons a cutting per acre. They raise and feed a great many cattle and sheep, thus much of the crops go back onto the land. Most of the stock was fattened on wheat last year and they were well pleased with the results. The advantages of farming in an ir­ rigating country are that there is no danger of losing a crop by drouth, can get the water when you want it, and there is no danger of crops being de­ stroyed by wet weather.

There are, families that seem to be able to make good servAnts out of the most unpromising material. Their em­ ployees are always kind, considerate, patient cheerful aud willing. They do not steal or take advantage of a trust they are always kind to the children, polite to guests and agreeable to every­ body. Long experience as an employer baa taught the writer that the difference Is not so much In the employee as In the employer. When everybody condemns a man. charity say a “Do not denounce this man; there Is divinity In him some­ where.” A good employer Is able to find and bring out the manly or wo­ manly qualities Innate in every normal being. He calls out the best in those under him simply because he la good himself. We find ourselves reflected in others. The world gives ns back just what we give. If we laugh.

If it is a blood disease, yvhy is it the pain often stays in the same place ? Why is it the blood doesn’t always carry the disease all over the body and into every muscle and joint? Your doctor may be able to explain it, but it is all guesswork any­ how. Omega Oil is what you ought to use for Rheumatism. It is to be well rubbed on the place where the pain is. No matter whether the trouble is in the blood or not—Omega Oil goes in, finds it out and cures it. What’s the odds so long as you get relief? Drink plenty of fresh water every night and morning while using Omega Oil. The water will keep the kidneys well flushed, and will bring about a quicker cure of Rheuma-tism. Try this plan for two weeks and see the result. * fbmlENNE^&laRMN Q The Leading SpsstaUstz el AsNrisa. 29 Yort tei Detroit. K Bank Security.

HORTON IS IK II HE IS THE ANTI-BOODLE CANDI­ DATE FOR GOVERNOR. His Announcement is Plain and Straightforward, and rie Wants ( Boodle Methods Reversed. Fruit Ridge, Mich, April 20.—There is now'an anti-boodle candidate for the republican nomination for governor in the field. Hon. George B. Horton, worthy master of the state grange, is the man. He decided yesterday to go into the race, and at once placed his an­ nouncement In the mails. Mr. Horton’s name was first suggest­ ed for the office by Hon. James O’Don­ nell, of Jackson, through his paper, the Jackson Daily Citizen. Since that time many offers of support came from all over the state, and finally on March 14, at Adrian, a conference of 100 lead­ ing republicans of this, Ledawee coun­ ty was held and the following resolu­ tions adopted: this called him out. Whereas, There has been a general call throughout the state of Michigan for the name of George B. Horton, of Fruit Ridge, as a candidate for the of­ fice of governor, and Whereas, We, people of his county, know him to be a representative man of the people, a man eminently fitted and qualified for the position of gover­ nor, by natural ability and large busi­ ness experience, thus insuring the great business Interests of the state: therefore be it Resolved, That the republicans here assembled heartily advise and recom­ mend his candidacy for the office of governor of the state. We believe this to be the opportune time for the people of Lenawee county to present a solid delegation to the state convention in support of George B. Horton, first, last and all the time, for this honorable and important office. Mr. Horton took plenty of time to consider the matter and make up his mind, and as be says himself, would not have accepted this urgent invita tion if others bad not broken party precedent and let down the bars, mak­ ing it an open field for all. But the bare being down, he has finally consent ed to place himself in the hands of those who may want this kind of a man for governor. Yesterday he drew up his reply to the resolutions adopted by the Lena­ wee conference of 100 and placed it in the mails addressed to newspapers and interested people generally throughout the state. It is as follows: the union h the rank and file of the people better prepared to express opin­ ions upon such pending and coming questions as the progress and welfare of the state naturally suggest. After party state conventions have been hold and specific declarations upon ques­ tions of state have been promulgated, then a legislature is elected in accord­ ance therewith.

Truly yours, Geo. B. Horton. The announcement has greatly pleas­ ed the immediate neighbors and friends of Mr. Horton, all of whom greatly ad­ mire him. Nimmo. Enoch Andrus Barn Burned. Sunday about nopn Enod) Andrus, of Irving, former County Commissioner of Schools, had the misfortune to lose his large bank barn and several out­ buildings by fire, and in an attempt to extinguish the flames both Mr. and Mrs. Andrus were severely burned about the hands and face. We are informed that Mr. Andrus had raked up a small pile of rubbiah and set fire to it. After he had sup­ posed the fire was all out he went into the house, but coming out of doors he found bis building in flames. A wind was blowing at the time and the Are first caught in the hog house, then communicated to the straw stack and then to the barn. Mr. Andrus made a desperate effort to put out the fire, and in doing so was quite seriously burned about the face and hands. Two sheep and a couple of lambs were burned. We understand that the building was insured for $600 in the Barry A Eaton, the bog house for $75, besides insurance on hay and grain, amounting m all to probably $1000.

Stomach and bowel troubles, severe as they are, give immediate warning by pain, but liver and kidney troubles, though leu painful at the start, are mucn harder to cure.

A runaway was narrowly averted, and in attempting to prevent it, Mr. Scott jumped, from his buggy. In attempting to manage the horse Mr. Scott was kicked on the leg by the ani­ mal. The leg wm badly bruised and in addition a gaah about four inches long W Ui M «««*«***A**A******A*AAAAAAJ» ♦? « *) ♦< DRESS LININGS COTTON TO SILK « « * « « « * « « • « « « « * Dress cambrics, all colors at « « Imitation spun glass at udwnlip 8* 8* » £ £ “Midnight” percalines and silesias at tfc, ijc, 25c Mercerized sateens, fast black, at Mercerized sateens, all colors, at >5C, 3JC. 40c ajc « « Genuine spun glass, all colors, at « « ♦I « * Taffeta linings at « « « 8* g Good linings add greatly to the life and appearance of all garments and for that reason are the only sort that should be used.

Clare It Dangeroua to Health and Dump It Into the River. Commission Offers to Furnish Data to Assessing Officers — Urges Cash Value Assessments—Will Inspect Their Work. Lansing, Mich., April 22.—The state tax commissioners have addressed a letter to each assessing offleer in the state, suggesting that an early special meeting of each board of supervisors be called for the purpose of consider­ ing the general topic of assessments. The commissioners declare that the necessity for assessing at value exists now more than ever before, and they jay they desire to sound the alarm and warn of the danger of otherwise assessing. ‘ This year, for the first time in the history of the state, the letter says, steam railroads and other heretofore specific tax-paying properties must be valued and are to be assessed by the commissioners on the ad valorem ba­ sis at true cash value. I he aggregate assessments made by the assessing officers of the state, and the total tax levy for all purposes will, no doubt, fix the rate to be paid by the railroads. It is manifest that under­ valuation, if made and permitted of the general properties of the state, will increase the railroad tax levy, but In so doing there will be Imminent danger ot jeopardising these railroad assessments—a loss almost incal­ culable to the state. The commission Is prepared to fur­ nish data relative. to the value of street or electric railroads, gas com­ panies, cement companies, sugar com­ panies, vessel and many other classes of property. Where the commission­ ers have this knowledge they propose to take measures, which will secure the assessment of these classes of property at value. The rolls will be jeopardized, therefore, If all other property thereon is not assessed at value. The assessing officers are Informed that the commissioners much prefer to have their co-operation than to be compelled to take steps to force them to comply with the law. Emphasis is placed on the statement that assess­ ing officers will Impose no greater hardships on their constituencies or upon the individual taxpayer by as­ sessing property at ita full value if equalizations have been right, and if they have not been right then proper assessments throughout the district and county will bring them and make the burdens rest equally. Assessing officers are urged to be especially vigilant and seek to get all nersonal property on the rolls, secur­ ing the sworn statement required by law from every taxpayer in the state. Representatives of the department will, after assessment, inspect the work of each assessing officer for the purpose of ascertaining if the law has been complied with, sworn statements on file, etc., and in case untruthful statements have been made by tax­ payers the matter will be referred to the commissioners for their action. Lead an Active Life. Detroit, Mich., April 21.—Edwin For­ rest Conely, jurist, Uterateur an I prominent citizen, died early Sunday morning at his home, 37 Davenport street, aged 54 years. Until a week ago he was apparently in his usual health, his sudden demise following an I operation for the removal of gall stones, from which he had suffered for two years. Mr. Conely was elected to the legis­ lature of 1877-8. receiving the demo­ cratic nomination for speaker of the house and serving as a member of the judiciary and library committees. He was a delegate to the national demo­ cratic convention of 1880, which nom­ inated Gen. Hancock for the presi­ dency, and the following year received the democratic nomination for judge of the recorder's court, being defeated after an excellent run. A little later he took charge of the police depart.meat ' He was connected with the state troops for 13 years, serving as captain of the Detroit'Light Guard; major of the Fourteenth Infantry, and as col­ onel and aide-de-camp, and president nf the state military board. Bad Fire In Trenton. Trenton, Mich., April 22.—This vil­ lage received a baptism of fire Mon­ day that destroyed a dozen buildings, with & loss of nearly >15,000. and threatened at one time to wipe out the town. The fire started at 10:15 o'clock In a barn In the rear of Chas. Tlefer's butcher shop, on Washington street The fire spread to the Ice house and sheds of Frank Oourt,which were soon In ashes. Fanned by a strong wind that accelerated their march of destruction, the flames swept northward, destroying the Ice house and barn of Mrs. Albert Yanks, three barns belonging to Jared Munroe and the brick building at the corner of Front and St Joseph streets, which I -»InitUtU a Class of 100. Bay City. Mich.. April 11.—Five hun­ dred Knights of Cotumbus sat down last night at the Fraser house to the most elaborate banquet ever given la from all over The New York paper, report that the Health Department of that city baa eelted as dangerous to health nearly two tons of cheap mixtures sold for baking powder, and dumped thorn into the offal scow to be deetroyed. More of,the powder was -found in a Sixth ave. department store. The report of the analysis of the Health Department stated that it was ‘an alum baking powder” containing alum and pulver­ ized rock. The different health authorities seem to have different ways of repressing the sale of bad baking powders. In Eng land they have prosecuted the grocers under the general law and broken up thejtraffic. In Missouri the sale of alum baking powder is actually pro­ hibited by law. In New York they seize the unwholesome stuff and cast it into the river, without any discussion. The latter way is certainly effective. The alum baking powders are usual­ ly offered at a low price, ten to twenty cents a pound, or with some prize, as a temptation to the housewife. Consumers can protect themselves by buying only high-grade baking powder of established name and reputation. Do not be tempted by the grocer to take something else, as “just as good” or “our own brand," for the trials show that the grocer himself is often de­ ceived by unscrupulous makers and is selling an alum powder without know­ ing it There^areXseveral good powders on the market; let the housekeeper insist on having what she knows is right, and not be induced to risk the life of the familyjfor [an imaginary saving of a few cents.

CROP REPORT APDfTiONAL, LOCAL badly on account of a lack of snow for a covering. This being the year for apple trees to bear, a good crop may be ISSUED BY FRED M. WARNER, expected other things being favorable. The following table shows the pros­ SECRETARY OF STATE, pect* for an average crop of the various kinds of fruit in the different sections Showing Condition of Crops, Stock of the State: and Fruita in the Various Sec- State. Southern. Central. Northern. no The weather during March waa ex ceptionally fine for that month. The temperature was considerably above the normal all over the state, the de­ parture at Lansing being seven degrees. The precipitation was also above the normal This came mostly at the end of the month, since it was quite dry during the first half of March. The departure at, Lansing was 1.59 inches. The ground has been practically bare all over the state during the month, most of the precipitation being in the form of rain. There was very little freezing and thawing, so that wheat and clover were not damaged to any extent. The average depth of snow on March 15th was, in the southern coun­ ties 0.10 of an inch, in the central coun­ ties 0.14 of an inch, In the northern counties 0*33 of an inch, and in the state 0.14 of an inch. The average depth of snow* on March 31st was, in the southern counties 0.58 of an inch, in the central counties 0.54 in the north­ ern counties L44 inches, and in the state 0 65 of an inch. WHEAT. Crop correspondents generally agree that wheat is in good condition when everything in connection with the crop is taken into consideration. The major portion of the crop was sown very late last fall, so that it made but a small growth before winter. Wheat grew during the winter, and especially in March when it is frequently injured. Many fields of wheat at the present time have a small top, but the soot is reported alive and thrifty. Some damage has been done on heavy soil by freezing and thawing, but no further damage from that source can occur. There are but a few things that could injure wheat between now and harvest time. The most prominent is the Hes­ sian fly, whose ravages are so well known to every farmer in the state. A protrated season of very dry weather might also do some damage, but the only thing really to be feared is the fly. If these sources of danger are eliminat­ ed the prospects are exceedingly good for an average crop of wheat. The acreage is much below the aver­ age. However, wheat was sown last year on better land more thoroughly prepared which will in a measure make up for the short acreage. In cutting down the number of acres sown to wheat farmers have left the poorest acres unsown, choosing land that is best adapted for growing a good crop. The number of weeks protection to wheat by snow was, in the southern counties 0.30 of a week, in the central counties 0.22 of a week, in the northern counties 0.54 of a week, and iu the state 0.30 of a week. In answer to a ques­ tion, “Has wheat during March suffered injury from any cause?”,, 135 correepondents in the southern counties an­ swer “yes" and 229 “no,” in the central counties 71 answer “yes” and 85 “no," and in the northern counties 22 answer "yes” and 36 “no.” The average condi­ tion of wheat in the southern counties is 83, central 88, northern 88 and iu the state 85. The amount of wheat in farm­ ers* hands in per cent at 'the present time is as follows: Southern counties 17, central counties 13, northern coun­ ties 15, and state 15. The total number of bushels of wheat reported marketed by fanners In March at the flouring mills is 146,161, and at the elevators 46,469, or a total of 192,­ 570 bushels. Of this whole amount 137,978 bushels were marketed in the four southern tiers of counties, 45,268 in the central counties, and 9,324 bush­ els in the northern counties. The total number of bushels of wheat reported marketed in the eight months, AugustMarch, is 2,612^76, which is 459,431 bushels lees than reported marketed in the same months last year. At 26 ele­ vators and mills from which reports have been received, there was no wheat in March. The total amount shipped by railroads from the various stations, as reported for February, *is 41,102 * bushels. MEADOWS. In regard to tbe question “Are peach orchards being sprayed for curt-leaf?” 131 correspondents answer “yes” and 254 “no.” It is to be hoped that spray­ ing will become more general each year, since it has been demonstrated time and again that it Is very profitable work, and also that good fruit cannot be grown without it Correspondents generally agree that it is too early to tell definitely about the fruit crop, and the reader should remember that the figures given were the result of investigation made in the last days of March.

Senator Mason, the rotund statesman from Illinois, told a story about a friend of his, Bill Visscher by name, a newspaper man, of Chicago. Visscher, he said, was In Deadwood beforeDakota had been c.ut In two, and was a victim of exceeding bad luck. He had no money and was walking the streets, wondering how be could get a drink of whiskey to cheer him’ up. He saw a number of miners and cowboys enter a saloon, and, noticing that they were 'particularly disreputable in appearance and all carried guns, he followed them in. I When he got inside he addressed the assemblage without waiting for the i formality of an introduction. “Gentlemen,” he said, “I have just witnessed a most deplorable incident. In a saloon down street a man with a gun forced an unarmed stranger from the east to take a drink of whiskey, even though the stranger protested that he had never tasted liquor in his life, and was morally opposed to its use. “Now,” said Visscher, glaring around him. “I would like to see someone make me take a drink against my will.” He had hardly uttered the wonls, when there was a pistol shot, and a bullet buried Itself in the floor at his feet. : “Hold on,” he shouted. “You have me at a disadvantage. I left my gun at the hotel!” “Never mind that,” said the man who had tired the shot. “Here bar-keeper,” he cried to the man behind the bar, “put up six glasses there, and All them all. You,” he said, turning fiercely upon Visscher, “will drink all of them.” Visscher protested, but another bul­ let struck the floor, and he thereupon turned his attention to the bar. The glasses had all been tilled, and Visscher emptied each in turn, while the man with the gun stood ready to enforce his command. When Visscher had taken the last drink and a row of empty glasses stood before him on the bar, he turned a glowing and smiling face upon the bad men around him. “Now gentlemen.” he said, cheerfully “if any one will fill those glasses up again I’ll just drink my way back up the line again.”—Philadelphia North American. DROWNED lilMSflf EZRA WILSON, OF YANKEE SPRINGS, TOOK HIS LIFE. Had Been Quite Skk With Measles For a Time and Sickness At- : fected His Mind. Ezra Wilson, one of the most promi­ nent young farmers of Yankee Springs, committed suicide Sunday afternoon by drowning himself tn a little lake in his farm. * The facts concerning the case, as related to us are substantially as follows: i Of late he had been sick with meas­ les and his illness affected his mind, an affliction which we are informed was I hereditary. . Sunday afternoon while confined to the bed with the measles he became de­ lirious with a fever. He arose suddeni ly from his bed. His wife tried to I quiet him, but to no avail. Dressed in nothing but his underclothing he at­ tempted to leave the house when his wife caught hold of him and asked: “ Why Ezra, where are you going?” “I am going to the lake to drown my­ self,” be replied. She attempted to stop him, but brushing her aside he rushed from the house and started toward Turner lake about a half mile distant. Thoroughly alarmed, Mrs. Wilson notified friends and neighbors who promptly responded to her summons and began a search for the delirious man. They followed the direction he had taken and found where ho had taken off his underdrawers. A tareful survey of the lake was made but nothr ing could be seen. It was then sup^ posed that he was in hiding somewhere about the lake, but a thorough search failed to bring forth any clue. Later the body was found standing erect in about six feet of water, with the feet sunken in the mud of the lake bottom. The deceased had evidently tun to the lake and deliberately walked out as far as he could until he strang­ led. Deceased leaves a wife and son and a host of friends.

The tremendous waste of. the great forests will begin to be felt in the dry­ ing up of the rivers and the turning of fertile countries into waste places. The forests keep the country green. They make it blossom like the rose and bloom like the garden. Where there are many trees there is great moistness. Where there is moistness enough human life can exist.- Without it there can be no prosperity. What the gpvernment has done in protecting the trees of the great Yo­ semite national park in California ought to be done by all the states in the union. There is a heavy fine for clipping off a little piece of bark from the giant redwood trees of the Yosem­ ite valley,and whoever does It suffers. There ought to be a similar penalty for destroying the forests in Maine, Ver­ mont, New York and all the great western states, too. Some day it will be done. No one can tell bow soon we may begin to suf­ fer for the devastations that have been going on for a hundred years. Every state should have a depart­ ment of forestry and should reserve im­ mense tracts of land where skilled for­ esters are employed to cultivate and care for the forests. Up in New England the forests have for so long been considered the chief staple of the country they are beginning to run out in good earnest. There are now rivers up there that hardly have a good sized tree their whole length. For years and years the log cutters have, been [at work winter and summer, cut­ ting off the beet of the lumber and car­ rying H up to the banks and driving it down the rivers to the cities and towns where there are saw mills. The houses of the country are built of wood, where­ as they should be of stone and brick, with iron for the frame. The time will come when this style prevails. When it does come the for­ ests will have their turn to recuperateif they have not already been destroyed. It is a sorrowfull fact that up in Eng­ land where I was bom and where I have recently been visiting, the pine forests have been cut off until there is scarcely any of them left And where they are cut so carelessly they do not again come up to pine. They come up to white birch, which is not half so good and has a smaller merchantile value.—A. JF. li'athhum Li Grand Rapid* Press. Obituary. Abijah Eaton died at his home in Hastings township Friday after a long and painful illness, aged 64 yean*. Abijah Eaton, son of Isaac and Nancy Eaton, was bom in Fitchville, Huron Co;, Ohio, in 1838 and died in Hastings township April 25, 1902, after an illness of 15 months. The deceased had been a resident of this township sinee the Call of 1864. On J uly 25, 1867 he was married to Miss Sophia Rein, of Port Creek, Monroe Co., Michigan. From this union four children were bom, the eldest dying in infancy. There remains to mourn his loss, three sons, Abel, Fred and Charles, and his loving wife, who so tenderly cared for him during his long and painful illness. Mr. Eaton was a member of the F. & A. M. 22 years, his funeral being con­ ducted under the allspices of that or­ der, Sunday, Rev. Bullen officiating. The esteem in which the deceased was held among his friends and neighbors was /shown by the manner in which thej^Mhered to pay their last respects to bis memory, the funeral procession being about a mile in length. ADDITIONAL LOCAL. The Banner was evidently misin­ formed last week in stating that Geo, Scott’s horse stepped on a live wire while driving to this city from his home near Quimby. Guy Havens, of this city, who was employed in string­ ing the wire, informs us that the wire in question was not an electric wire, but a telephone wire, and instead of being a “live” wire it was a “dead” wire. We wrote the article from in­ formation given us and had no inten­ tion of doing anyone an injustice and gladly make this correction. Last fall Jas. Farrell, of Assyria, gave Hugh Sykes a chattel mortgage upon a horse buggy and harness. When the debt came due and was not paid Mr. Sykes began to look around for hie security. After a good deal of trouble he was informed that he might find it near Manton, so last week he took Sheriff Cortright and proceeded to the last named place where he found Mr. Farrell as well as the property. The civil part of the matter was adjusted but Mr. Farrell came along home with the Sheriff, appeared before Justice Walker, waived examination and was bound over to the May term of the Circuit court. When will the time eome when “Uncle Tomb Cabin” will lose its charm to the rising generation? There is something in the skillful combina­ tion of the pathetic and the humorous that never fails to facinate and the story that It tells of the poor slaves appeals directly to the finest sensibili­ ties of the human soul. Such playa are better than sermons. They point a moral and adorn a tale. “ _ 'impress They ou our minds the precepts of the guld­ en rule. Mrs. Stowe’s book is one of the greatest books of literature, be­ cause it deals with questions of immeasureabie human import, and the play itself is one of those simple mas­ terpieces that can never die. Ed. F. Davis' colossal Uncle Tom’s Company will appear in Hastings under a big tent on Thursday, May 8th, David Bowker has the reputation of going after anything with al! of his might when be goes after it in earnest. About three weeks ago he went down into St Joe county to tell some of the farmers about a few of the many ad­ mirable features of the Cyclone & Wind­ storm Insurance Company of this city. His pleas were ro e.'cquent that ahuut every farmer he approached could see a great big, swirling, twisting^stonn mon­ ster coming right straight towards his buildings, and in 13 days Mr. Bowker wrote over 3100,000 of insurance. Those who took out the insurance however can rest assured that they have made no mistake. Mr. Bowker is' not only a reliable man, but the Wind­ storm Company which he'represents is the second largest in the country and’ by far the most economically managed. At a recent meeting of the city coun­ cil Friday evening Mayor Anderson submitted his appointments, which were all confirmed, as follows: H. Adalbert Newton, city marshall; Dr. H. A. Barber, city physician; John G..Nag­ let, city attorney; Frank Hams, chief of fire department; John Bronson, street commissioner. The marshal’s salary was fixed at >450 per annum, and the pay of street commissioner made 32.00 per day. We believe our citizens will commend these appointments. The fair spirit shown by the council, seven of whose eight members are democrats, in confirming without objection these appointments of a republican mayor will also not escape very favorable no­ tice. We are glad to commend such a spirit, and believe it means that har­ Died. mony and zeal for the city’s interests NEVINS.—Mrs. J. M.

Rayner was seated in a chair, deathly white, and striving to stanch the blood that flowed from a deep gash in his temple and forehead; he seemed still stunned as by the force of the blow that had felled him, and Buxton, speech­ less with amaze and heaven only knows what other emotions, was glaring at a tall, athletic stranger who, in stocking feet, undershirt and trousers, held by three frightened looking soldiers and covered by the carbine of a fourth, was hurling defiance and denunciation at tbe commanding officer. A revolver lay upon the floor at the feet of a corporal of the guard, who was groaning in pain. A thin veilot powder smoke float..i through the room. As Blake leaped in—his cav­ alry shoulder- knots and helmet cords gleaming in the light—a flash of recog­ nition shot into the stranger’s eyes, and he curbed his fearful excitement and stopped short in his wrath. “What devil’s work is this?” demanded Blake, glaring intuitively at Buxton. “These people resisted my guards, and had to take the consequences,” said Bux­ ton, with surly—yet shaken—dignity. “What were the guards doing here? What, in God’s name, are you doing here?" demanded Blake, forgetful of all consideration of rank and command in the face of such evident catastrophe. “I ordered them here—to enter and search.” “Search what? what for?” "For—a woman I had reason to believe he had brought out here from town.” “What? You infernal idiot? Why, she’s his own sister, and this gentleman’s wife!” The silence, broken only by tho hard breathing of some of the excited men and tbe moaning cry of tho woman, was for a moment intense. “Isn’t this Mr. Hurley?" asked Blake, tuddenly, as though to make sure, and turning one instant from hU furious flare at his superior officer, ■rhe stranger, rtill held, though no longer rtrogrling, replied between his set teeth: “Certainly. I’ve told him sa” “By heaven, Buxton, is there no limit to your asininity?

T is a good plan for every bather to know something of the soap he uses. There is a well-founded objection to using a floor-clean­ ing soap upon the human body. Ivory Soap is the bather’s soap. It costs more than common soaps, but the difference is in the ingredients and making. Why not treat yourself with a little respect. Is not the human skin with its marvellous delicacy entitled to pure soap? Ivory Soap—it floats. Old People f »i ) • i W. Mrs. Pearl Garrett is quite sick at this writing.

WHM IN THS PHILIPPINES He Tells Harrowing Stories of the Treatment the Natives ReceivedCounts Lieut. Fitters the Moat Cruel Man in tho Islands. Battle Creek. Mich.. April 29.—Pri­ vate F. F. Newell of Granby, Mass., a member of Co. G, 19th U. 8. regulars, now in this city, is outspoken in his denunciations of the present methods of warfare In the Philippines, where he has been campaigning. The largest part of the existing war­ fare, he believes, is caused by the illtreatment of natives by soldiers, as well as the officers. He estimates that more than 1,000 men have been killed in cold blood, and says he has seen men killed outright and then burned, even under a Hag of truce. “We received orders while in the hills,'* said he, “to shoot every man that was seen and burn every house. We were ordered to fire a volley into every house before going to burn it At one house we found a woman shot through the shoulder and a little girl shot through both hip* after one of these volleys. “Lieut Fitters of Co.

'At one time he took a man by the heels and dropped him into a well 50 feet deep, plunging him in head first; then drawing him out with a rope and giving him the 'water cure.’ “In Manila two-thirds of the Ameri­ cans who start in business are run­ ning saloons, making a rum hole of the place, Instead of a respectable city." Wreck at Kalamazoo. Kalamazoo, Mich.. April 25.—A rail­ way wreck on the Lake Shore & Mich igan Southern at this place about 7 o’clock last evening occasioned the loss of one life and damaged property to the amount, roughly estimated, of between $20,000 and >25.000. It was occasioned by the breaking in two of a heavily-loaded freight loaded with merchandise going north on a heavy grade about two miles south of the station here. The engineer put on a heavy force of steam and tried to run away from the loose section, but failed. The cut-off section overtook the forward part of the train at the Grand Rapids & Indiana crossing and ran into them with terrific force, piling up abvui twenty i-ara and telescoping several more.

This is something of a surprise, as It waa ex­ pected in view of a previous case and present conditions that Allegan would be the last place they would go to. Child Burned to Death. Detroit, Mich., April 28—Tbe threeyear-old boy of Mrs. John Bunge, of 751 Riopelle street, waa burned to death Sunday afternoon, together with a barn In the rear of her residence. The child was playing In the barn with a neighbor's boy, and the chil­ dren had evidently secured matches from some source and with which the fire waa set. The child’s mother waa the first on the scene, lyit the flames had already advanced too far to per­ mit her saving her babe. Crushed Under Land Roller. Etaton Rapids, Mich.. April 28.— About 5 o'clock Saturday afternoon Ira Long was killed at his father’s farm, two miles northwest of here, while rolling a meadow.

The “common people” whom Abraham Lincoln said “the Lord must have loved since He made so many of 'em,’’ can 1U afford the maintenance of flower gardens and hothouses which cost so much, but a I movement started In Brooklyn indi-1 cates the wonderful possibilities of back yard flower gardens for crowded cities, and experiments in Cleveland and some other cities demonstrate the almost unlimited possibilities for com­ munity good tn the planting and care of such flowers as bachelor’s buttons, California poppy, verbenas, nasturtium, candy tuft, petunia, zinnia, balsam, marigold, four o’clock, morning glory, calliopsis, calcnula and similar hardy flora. They all love the out door life and will flourish in any ground that will nurture a tin can, a broken stick, a rusty hammer, an old key, a discarded kitchen utensil. Digging in the earth is said to be a panacea for most of the ills that assail the flesh. The man who works all day in tbe factory, in the foundry, in tbe store, in the office, will find healthful enjoyment in tackling the back yard with a pick and shovel during the early hours of evening. AU of tbe plants named above grow from seed and grow surprisingly well, and when they begin to bloom and fill the back yard with fragrance they tempt the women from their onerous duties to take a peep, and they make the little child’s heart beat faster and ask mother if “our garden” isn’t about the prettiest sight on earth. If you are going to make a garden In the back yard—and if you haven’t de­ cided to do so, now is the time to think it over—dig deep and loosen up the soil thoroughly and then fertilize, If you can afford it But if you can’t go ahead and plant anyhow. And don’t plant little exotics that would worry a professional florist. In time your labor will find its reward in the satisfaction of having helped to beautify your neighborhood.—Baltimore Newa. As to Rural Mail Boxes. Some patrons of rural mail routes have obtained from the newspapers a mistaken impression that after the first of July mail will be delivered into any sort of box the patron may be pleased to supply. There has been no such de­ cision by the post-office department. What was done was the making of a recommendation by a board that pa­ trons bw permitted to buy or construct any sort of manwhich answered certain requirements to be y«». p.eocxiu. ed. Tbe department has not yet even approved this recommendation, though possibly it may do so, making certain conditions of construction of boxes to which patrons will be obliged to con­ form. This action was taken because of the mistaken cry that the depart­ ment was giving to favorite persons a monopoly of the mail-box business. There are two reasons for exercise of much care as to these boxes. One is the proper protection of mail delivered; the other, and more important, protect­ ion of mail deposited in them for col­ lection. Rural delivery boxes are for collection as well as for distribution, and after stamps have.been affixed and letters deposited in the box, the mail Is constructively in the hands of the gov­ ernment, and the latter is responsible 8 Uncle Corn’s Cabin; UNCLE TOM’S CABIN After securing the competence ba struggled for, • man Inrarlably plane an extension.

Foreign immigration for the first four months of 1902 footed up (178,604, the largest number ever recorded for a corresponding period. The number ar­ riving last week was 25,120, which has never been equalled in seven days. April added to our population 73,667 persons of foreign birth. These figures area striking proof of the rapid growth of the country. Got. Bliss should not rely too strong­ ly upon! the second term “precedent” in eeekipg a renomination this year. When he became a candidate in 1894 in op­ position to Gov. John T. Rich, who ■was seeking a second term.be was a most ardent one-termer, asserting most ■vigorously that the office of governor should be given to a man for one term only. Perhaps it is too much to expect Mr. Bliss to be consistent, but if he was firmly convinced at that time that the one-term idea was the proper thing he cannot find much fault if the people take his view of it, and retire him at the end of one term now.—Howard Ciiy Record (Rep) J '! i.; The action of the Bacry county re­ publicans in turning down the Bliss contingent and passing resolutions plainly and roundly denouncing the boodleism by which he was foisted in­ to office, was worthy of the stalwart character of its honest republicanism. If the members of the party in other counties would meet the issue In the same honest and conscientious manner, Blisaism and precedent would have a Very thin representation in the next state convention. It is the only cow­ ardice of the leaders that is going to let tiehonor, money and incapacity keep in the lead. The party is pure enough at heart, but too many fail to stand up for the right, and allow the dishonest and purchasable local pot hunters to over-awe and over-rule them.—Jackaon Citizen. ,;.'j I ii w . '■ - Hon. Geo. B. Horton, of Lenawee county, who announced himself as a candidate for Governor on the republi­ can ticket, in answer to a request from A large number of his fellow citizens, has recently written a letter to the DeXroit Journal Iff’ which he fhlly states his position in the campaign of 1898, when he clung to the free silver fallacy but had the good judgment to remain tn his own party iriithe hope that time and party wisdom would accomplish the end he desired. Mr. Horton now frankly admits that the men who stood for a solid money basis were “possessed of a keener and further insight into the future than the majority of their associates” and then with wonderful candor concedes that “the wonderful and unprecedented activity and pros­ perity in all lines of business since the adoption of the present standard of money values is conclusive proof that it did insure confidence of the business world.” This position is not only man­ ly but indicates that, while Mr. Horton has the courage of his convictions, he Is not so bigoted as to contend his views are right even when events prove the contrary. With his admitted ability, his unquestioned Integrity and the proof submitted that he did not desert his party at a critical time, Mr. Hor­ ton will become stronger with the rank and file of the republican party and strengthen the efforts of those who Would nominate candidates on their merits and eliminate “boodle” as a potent factor In pre-conventlon work. Mr. Horton differs from most of the tree silver advocates, in this, that he admits the error of judgment and con­ fesses the fallacy of Bryan’s conten­ tions. Such a course is patriotic,— Charlotte Republican. The renomination <rf the Hon E. L. amil ton in the Fourth congressional trict was not a surprise. , The surtion made any other choice. Mr. Harail- great and has gained a wide reputation •a a keen and clerer speaker, aide In debate and staunch In bls support of Mmhifcae priuelplea aud pnlicie*. He has become one of the strongest mem­ by an open tetter from Hon. J. S. Stearns, which charges directly that Gov. Bliss is under control of the Michigan Cen­ tral Railway Co., in all appointments In which It is Interested. Mr. Stearns surely is not making such mrave charges without having at hand all requisite evidence to substantiate them. Not only does he make these assertions, but promises submission of much more matter pertaining to the way the Bliss administration is managed by interests inimical to the welfare of the people of Michigan. The letter Is free from anything like narrow and bigoted opposition to rail­ ways or corporations, but takes the position that no such corporation should be allowed to control legislation and administration to its own advantage and Interest. To this sound doctrine every rational man must subscribe. Mr. Stearns disavows antipathy to corpora­ tions in general, for he well under­ stands the desirability and necessity for their existence. He only maintains that they must not be permitted to be­ come so powerful that they are greater than the state itself; that they shall not nominate and control the executive and the legislature. We have yet' to see what reply Mr. Bliss and his friends have to make. It Is not likely that so capable a man of business aa Mr. Stearns has placed him­ self in his present position without the means of maintaining it. This being conceded, it,remains for the republican party to consider whether it'ean afford to burden itself with a candidacy against which can be urged such grave delinquencies. It has been openly as­ serted and never denied that the source of Mr. Bliss’ money which was so cort ruptly used two years ago was the cof­ fers of this same railway corporation. If this is true it is not strange that Mr. Steams and Mr. Ferry found themselves not only obliged to expend large sums in self-defense, but that they found their private means entirely inadequate to cope with the practically unlimited resources at Mr. Bliss* command. The long record of effort to bring the Michigan Central railway under the general laws of the state, frustrated al­ ways, is in itself evidence of potent In­ terference of that corporation: in state affairs. As Mr. Stearns puts the case, it appears that the railway, 'now that repeal is an accomplished fact, ’seeks by executive aid to control theadministration of the laws in such a way as to enable it to still escape the taxation aud state control of passenger fares from which it was^shielded^by^its special charter. If the people of Mich­ igan can be convinced that what Mr. Stearns so boldly asserts is only a true statement'of the situation, they will re­ pudiate Mr. Bliss in case he is again put before them as a candidate for gov­ ernor. With this situation before them, the republicans of Michigan should see to it that their control of the state govern­ ment shall not be jeoparized for sake of nothing else than the weak plea of second-term precedent. . and do business. Nominate someone who wont be ignominiously defeated; someone who wont carry others down to defeat with him; someone who will be governor himself; someone who will creditably represent this great state; someone who wont knock the party in­ to smithereens. Cuba Welcomes President Palma. President-elect Palma’s journey through that part of Cuba where he and others started the “Ten Years’ War” in 1868, Is one continuous series of ovations, demonstrating the deep feeling of rejoicing among the people, that the object of all their wars for a century has been accomplished. All heartily pledge allegiance to the presi­ dent and his government. Senor Palma’s memory of friends he had not seen in thirty years or more is remarkable. He calls them by name immediately on seeing them and refers to some Incident of their acquaintance. Spanish and Cuban flags are inter­ twined plentifully in the decorations in his honor, but there are few American flags to be seen. Gonzalo Quesada, who is named for minister to Washington, addressing five thousand persons in the Plaza at Manzanillo, referred to the hearty wel­ come given to the president-elect by the people, and especially by Gen. Maso, as proof to the world that but one senti­ ment exists in Cuba, and that is, that the republic shall be maintained ^ith such unity and accord as shall dispel the doubts of other nations and that nothing must be done to revive fear. He said that Cuba is Indebted to the United States for a great and noble work, magnificently undertaken and accomplished and that if the footsteps of the great republic are followed, Cuba's future will be assured. ' The republican party of this state should seriously be reminded thst the time for holding a state convention is rapidly approaching, and that It has a serious question to decide as to who will be Its candidate for governor. Will it bare a candidate who will bring abili­ ty, dignity and force to the offlee, or Win It have a candidate fresh from his purchased conquest of two years ago, who today can’t bring one SINGLE SOLITARY, LEGITIMATE CLAIM aa to why be should be renominated. A few beneficiaries of bis appointive pow­ er urge the claim of PRECEDENT. We defy anyone to point out a preced­ ent in the hlatury of Michigan republlcanism, where an aspirant for guberna­ torial honors deliberately purchased the o(Hce, and two years later urged that moot disreputable act as a reason why be should be renominated.

At that time a hive of . bees took it upon themselves to swarm. • Some Dttle girls were near by engaged ' in tetering, but swarming bees were such a novelty that they advanced pretty close, when the Queen bee evi­ dently thought that the head gear of one of the little girls was a pretty place to light. All of the other bees were evidently of the same mind. For a few moments it looked as though the bees would win out, but some tall hustling drove them away. Finally the bees selected the next best place and gathered on the end of the teter board, from which place they were easily and readily hived.

Senator McMillan has also been for some years a member of the commerce committee which recently had under consideration the ship-subsidy bill. His must important service, however, one which bids fair to give him lasting fame, has been as chairman of the Sen­ ate committee on District of Columbia. Since the Federal Government defrays one-half of the large expenses of the District Government-including, of course, the capital city of Washington —this committee is one of the most important in the Senate. Recently Senator McMillan's work has come into unusual prominence on account of the plans for beautifying the city of Wash­ ington -a scheme of the greatest inter­ est to all Americans ana involving the ultimate expenditure of vast sums of money. It is a high tribute to Senator McMillan that the government of the District of Columbia and of Washing­ ton has been conducted without the suspicion of a scandal. Mr. McMillan enjoys his wealth in a most rational way. When~he enter­ tains his friends he does it most gener­ ously, but he lives without ostentation. He likes outdoor life and is of an ex­ ceedingly sociable disposition without any of the undesirable qualities that enter into the make-up of the proverb­ ial “hail fellow, well met. He was for several years president of the Chevy Chase Club, the most fashionable of Washington’s country clubs. The lovable quality of James MeMIHan's character is known to all of his acquaintances, and many young men in particular have cause to be grateful to him. Mr. McMillan has always manifested a deep interest in younp men who show a disposition to get ahead in the world, and be has been the benefactor of many. Pulled the Gang. A gang of gipsies struck this city last week and were pulled at Charlotte Saturday, charged with holding up a. young man and his best girl. The gang Is a tolgh one and while here succeeded In fleecing a number of people out of small sums of money. We are informed that a certain travel­ ling man, while driving from th’s city toward Middleville, met the gang a little beyond the Mitchell farm in Irvingand tapped him to change a 92 bill. The drummer took out a dollar and gave it to one of the maidens of the party, and she forthwith proceeded to skip, bidding him a fond adieu. But the man of the road didn't propose to be held up in that sort of manner.' Turning his rig around he drove his rig directly zeroes their path, and In lan­ guage more emphatic than choice de­ manded his money oack, and after some parleying, and many threats on the drummer's part the coin was re­ turned. that no one put up a very strong chancery causes.

HA5TINO5, MICHIGAN, MAY 29. 1902. ! visit; we say goodbye, reluctantly, and ■ VITAL PREPARED BY THE SECRETARY OF STATE Shows That There Was One flv T® Every Ten Marriages in the State. The Thirty-third Annual Registra­ tion Report of Michigan has been re­ ceived from the Secretary of State, and contains the vital statistics for tl.r year 1899 in fuller detail than given iu the monthly bulletins issued by the siate department. This is the second y ear under the new and accurate law re quiring the immediate record of deaths under which, as explained in the report | Michigan has for the first time been admitted as a full registration state by the United States census. There were 21,877 marriages, 41,818 births, and 33,874 deaths registered dur­ ing the year, beside 2,218 divorces. There were 18.0 persons married per 1.000 estimated population, 1.8 persons divorced, 17.2 persons born and 14.0 deaths. The latter rate, while very low as compared with those of any other states having reliable registration of deaths, is higher than those of any previous years under the old law, show­ ing that many deaths are now recorded that formerly escaped registration. A plea is made for the enactment of a law that shall provide for the accur­ ate registration of births in the same manner that deaths are now registered. Probably not more than two-thirds of the births that actually occur are re corded, and the result is that much loss occurs to persons ‘ depending upon the evidence of such records, while statis­ tics based upon such imperfect returns are practically worthless for most purralt would seem reasonable that h statistics are collected, as they are in all civilized countries, that they should be collected with a sufficient de gree oX accuracy, and completeness to be of use for the purpose for which they were intended. 'rhe detailed statistics of the mortal­ ity of Michigan for the year 1899 as fo'und in the Thirty-third Annual Reg­ istration Report will be of great inter­ est to sanitarians and public:health workers as they supplement the pre­ liminary data published from month to month during that year in the bulletin of vital statistics. Many tables of rates are'given, and other interesting data ^represented relative to births, marraiges and divorces, as well as to deaths and the causes of deaths. Grouped according to the Bertillon classification, which the state of Michi­ gan was one of the first to adopt (it has now been accepted by every registra­ tion state and is the official system of U.S.census) the varying proportions of mortality from various causes ac­ cording to tneir age and sex distribu­ tion, and as related to the cities and counties from which reported, are shown very fully for the state. Out of 33,675 deaths returned, inclusive of 1,386 stillbirths, the most important causes were us follows: Tuberculosis, including not only pulmonary but also other forms of tuberculosis, 2,694; or­ ganic heart diseases, 2,227: pnedmonia, 2,192, not including 287 deaths from broncho pneumonia and 785 'deaths from bronchitis; infantile diarrhea 1,884; influenza, 1,673;accidental Reaths, 1.579; cancer, 1,834; apoplexy, 1,225; meningitis, 1,051: Bright's disease, 965. Of minor importance numerically, but of great interest as preventable dis­ eases, were typhoid fever, 580; diph­ theria aud croup, 435; whooping; cough, 238; measles, 18*; scarlet fever, 144. An instructive diagram is presented show­ ing the distribution by months and ages of important cases. The report is published by Fred M. Warner, Secretary of State, Lansing, and will be sent upon application to any reader who may desire it. The former wasteful method of distribution is no longer in use. The Lawyers Dine. The fifth annual bar banquet of the Barry county Bar Association was held Monday evening at the hqme of H. E. Hendrick, in Middleville. These meet­ ings are held on rhe evening of the first day of the May term of court. The usual practice is to have court in the after­ noon, but this term, at the suggestion of Mr. Hendrick, Judge Smith called court at nine o’clock in the forenoon. This enabled the attorneys to transact the usual formal business and get the 12:42 train for Middleville, where they spent the 'afternoon looking over the Cook trout ponds and enjoying a sociable time. The attorneys had heard a good deal about the speckled beauties In Cook’s pond aud were greatly disap* pointed at first iu not seeing more of the sporty fry swimming around. Mr. Cook told some stories about those he had recently caught out, and how the water was so muddy it was impossible to see them, all of which the boys were at first inclined .to classify as fish stories. But when they took up their menu cards they discovered why there were so few trout m the pond. They all declare Mr. Hendrick to be the best fisherman in the state and agreed to believe any fish stories he may see fit to tell. The menu was delicate as well as elaborate as will be noticed by the following, Mr. Hendrick having Mrs. Ida Wood, of this city, as caterer. MENU. ADDITIONAL LOCAL Thursday a warrant was issued for the arrest of Jas. Richards, of Cedar Creek, charged with the larceny of a couple of Tur coats from A reelins Campbell last October. The coats were found in an ice house in a box it is claimed Mr. Richards had ■ secured bud a few days before. Up to this time na trace of Mr. Richards has been found. The Barry County Press Association held a meeting at Nashville Friday, seven of the papers of the County be­ ing represented. The meeting was a business session and nothing but topics of interest to the craft were discussed. The meeting was informal in charac­ ter, the session being held at the hotel. The subject most largely discussed was the complimentary dinner given by Brother Feighner, of the News, which was thoroughly enjoyed and appreciat­ ed. A call on several of the business men of Nashville found them all rush­ ed with business and enjoying their share of the prosperous times. A glance at the columns of the Nashville News is all that is necessary to convince one that the merchants are of the progres­ sive and up-to-date kind, and in doing this they show their good judgment and appreciation the efforts of Brother Feighner, who publishes one of the very best weekly papers in this state. , Mrs. Pratt Eloped. The following was taken from the Grand Rapids Herald of Friday: Muskegon, Mich., May 28.—Mrs. W. E. Pratt and Jabe Dobee of Muskegon Heights are missing. Behind are left a heart-broken husband and four mother­ less little children. Mrs. Pratt and her paramour ran away at 9:30 o’clock last evening and it is thought went to Fruitport by an in­ terurban car and thence across the country south. . The case is one of a married woman falling in love with a "star boarder.” The Pratts came here two years ago from Hastings and Mr. Pratt was form­ erly employed at the paper mills here, but is now working for the Standard Malleable Iron company. He is a hard­ working, honest man and it was a happy family till Mrs. Pratt, who is a handsome woman 30 years old, became enamored of Dobee, a good-looking Soung man 23 years of age. He is a ashy dresser and works but little. About a month ago Dobee came to board with the family at Mrs. Pratt’s invitation. Mr. Pratt became apprised of the sit­ uation and Wednesday night ordered Dobee away. Last evening became home and his children, three girls aged 3, 5 and 9 years, and a little boy. aged 7 years, were sobbing for their missing mamma. Pratt says, he would not re­ ceive his wife back were it not for the Kennedy-Mesde. dependent children. No trace can be A very pretty wedding occurred found of the missing pair.

With Rayner gone, he hardly had an associate, though the esprit de corps ot the —th prompted the cavalry officers to be civil to him when he appeared at the billiard room. As Mr. Hurley was fond of the game, an element of awkwardness was mani­ fest the first time the young officers ap­ peared with their engineer friend. Hayne had not set foot in such a place for five rears, and quietly declined all invitations to take a cue again. It was remembered of him that be played the prettiest game of French carroius of all the officers at the station when he joined the Riflere as a boy. Hurley could only stay a very short time, and the ■ubaltems were do­ ing their best to make it lively for him. Some, indeed, showed strong inclination to devote themselves to Mrs. Hurley: but slie was too busy with her brother's household affairs to detect their projects. Hurley had turned very red' and glared at Buxton the first time the two met at the club room, but the bulkjr captain speedily found cover under which to re­ tire, and nover again allowed himself in general society until the engineer with the scientifie attainments as a boxer as well as road builder was safely out of the 1ft^Mt James AMIHr. jX the way the regiment had gone tn foUoW Hr.

At last ho says to me. ‘You are flat broke, and tbey ll all be be down on you when you get back to the poet. No man in America wants five hundred dollars more than you do. I’ll give you five hundred in one hour from now if youll get the captain out of his tent for half an !»our.* Almost everybody was asleep then; the captain was, and eo was Mr. Hayne, and he went on to tell me how he could do it. He'd been watch­ ing the captain. It made such a big bundle, did the money, in all the sepa­ rate envelopes that he hod done it all up different—made a memorandum of the amount due each man, and packed the greenbacks all together in one solid pile —his own money, the lieutenant's and the men’s—done it up in |>aper and tied it firmly and put big blotches of green sealing wax on it and sealed them with the seal on his watch chain. Says Gower, ‘You get the captain out, as I tell you, and I'll slip right in, get the money, stuff some other paper with a few ones and twos in the package; his seal, his watch and everything is there in the saddle bags under his bead, and I can re­ seal and replace it in five minutes, and he'll never suspect the loss until the com­ mand ail g»?ts together again next week.

' JO to IS ' B Elfe Chat H Eoag Caoagb Secretary of State Warner has in con­ temptation the commencement of pro­ ceedings against a number of Michigan farmers who refuse to furnish supervisors with agricultural statistics. The law provides a penalty for stldh re­ fusal, and in recent cases two farmers walked long distances to give the sup­ ervisore the required information after receiving letters from Secretary Warner. With these exceptions the endeav­ or of the department to increase the efficiency of the agricultural division is meeting with support. On Thursday June 12th, the district schools of Hope, Barry, Prairieville and Orangeville will hold a union picnic at Crooked lake. The forenoon will be given up to having the usual picnic sports. A basket dinner will be pro­ vided. In the afternoon those pupils from the four townships who have suc­ cessfully passed the recent eighth grade examinations wijl render a program suitable to the occasion. Commission­ er Ketcham will be present and present the diplomas. Every district school in the four townships is invited to attend this picnic.

We be­ lieve the people would like a governor who would give us the good, straight administration of a Bagley, Rich or a Luce, or one, when duty called him elsewhere wouldn’t cause the people to blush with shame when trying to speak for the state he claims to repre­ sent. We believe the people would like |o see a governor surrounded with good, straightforward men as ad­ visors, rather than enthrone himself among some of the cheapest political skates that can be found. Further we believe the people of Michigan desire to have a governor free from corporate influence, who when openly charged with being under corporate control on certain matters can at least be honestly able to manfully deny it, rather than remain as dumb as an oyster, which in our estimation practically amounts to a confession that it is true. Last, but by no means least, the people would like to see an official in the executive chair, who is there by tbe grace of some ability, rather than as the mute advertisement of the power of “boodle" in politics—and corporate “boodle” at that, if report be,true.

WHAT HE THOUGHT OF HIM British and Boer Representatives Sign A Postal Card Serial Stary a Lost Sait For Sias4-r. A certain Kansas man, so the story goes, wanted to tell a neighbor what he thought of him without laying him­ self open to a suit for damages. Bo he hit on the plan of sending him each day a postal card with only one word written ou it in a large hjnnd, in addi­ tion to the date obscurely tucked away In a corner. The person receiving the cards rec­ ognized the handwriting and, suspect­ ing something, kept them until they stopped coming, wh?n he read them consecutively in the order of their re­ ception. What be read was, “Ridicu­ lous old Bill Jones Is the meanest cuss In town," and he at once Instituted a suit for slander against tbe sender. The latter’s Ihwyer, however, called attention to the fact that the postal card containing "ridiculous,” though. mailed first, was dated the day after the date of the card having the word “town.” Moreover, a careful inspection would show that after the word ‘'ri­ diculous" was an exclamation point, and after the word “town" was an in­ terrogation mark, so that the series of postal cards might be made to read: "Old Bill Is the meanest cuss In town? Ridiculous!” He claimed, therefore, that instead of slandering the plaintiff his client had defended him from slan­ der, and this plea was sustained by the court. But, all the same, everybody in town Insisted that tbe first reading of the rards was the correct one, so that tbe writer attained his object the Terms.

There was present at a certain big dinner in England an American wom­ an of prominence who was somew*hat annoyed by a tactless English woman who undertook to banter her and who said: “I take it for granted that you have no coats of arms in your new coudt try." "Of course no American family could have one unless It was borrowed from English ancestry,” replied the former American. “For instance, has your family any especial cause for pride over your grandfather?’ persisted this particu­ larly tactless female cad. Then the American woman opened yp and replied as calmly as possible un­ der the circumstances, “Not much, per­ haps, only that my grandfather on my mother’s side received Burgoyne’s ■word when he surrendered at Sarato­ ga and my grandfather on my father’s side received the sword of Cornwallis at Yorktown. A Small Leral Fe«. The smallest fee ever taken by an English counsel was sixpence, that fee having on one occasion been taken by the late Sir John Holker. Barristers’ fees were In olden times much less than those now paid. An entry occurs in the churchwardens' accounts of St Margaret's, Westminster, for 1476, showing that a fee of 3a. Sd.t with fourpence for his dinner, was paid to Robert Flypott, counsel, learned in the law.^fpr his advice. In Nare’s "Glossary” a barrister’s fee was stated to be an angel, or 10 shillings. These are somewhat different figures from the GOO guineas paid to Sir Charles Russell a number of years ago at the Leeds assizes for less than three hours' work, or at tbe rate of over 3 guineas a minute.—London Tit­ Bits.

Of the grain feeds com. is the more universal. The New Jet* sey station estimated that tbe feeding value of a ton of corn Is $Z greater when fed in the form of meal than when fed whole, deduction being made for the additional cost of husking and grinding. Determinations showed that 57.3 per cent of the corn fed on th* ear passed through the animal undi­ gested. At the Pennsylvania station the feeding value of the corn waa about one-flfth greater than that at bran as an exclusive grain diet for tb* production of butter fat. At tbe Ohl* station cows on cornmeal produc* slightly more milk for the food con­ sumed than those on bran and linseed meal. Those on the latter ration pro­ duced milk with the largest fat con­ tent. but this may have been a matter of individuality, as the grain ratio* was not changed.

Hon. Jm. O*Donnell, of Jackson, aptly re<* marks that it will be impoesibte for the , r democratic^egty to “pick a poorer can­ . 'didate than the republicans seem to , want” . j i I In the state election in Oregon last , week a democratic Governor wm elect­ ed. Everything else went republican by good majorities. Will the republicans of this state profit anything by Oregon’s experience? Will the ‘ machine,” In the face of all the opposition, persist In loading Bliss onto the ticket, and en­ danger not only the county tickets In close counties, but also endanger the election of several Congressmen from this state? ‘‘Mysterious Bill” Judson, the “Boss of Washtenaw County,” who by the grace of Gov. Bliss’appointive power • ' holds the position of State Oil Inspect­ or, without any authority whatever it is ' .f t ability enough to appreciate the eternal fitness of things. Good luck made him a fortune, which once acquired seemed to impart to him a terrible itching for office. Most any kind of an office would do, just so that It wm an office. Here is the record of Gov. Blisa’ office holding. First, he was nominated and elected Supervisor. He was renominated. The people had such a high regard |for his abilities that they turned out to the polls and defeated him on election day. Second, he was elected as Alderman, served his time and was renominated. At the election his constitutents very generously “remembered” him by de­ feating him. Perhaps thinking it was ‘ three times aud out,* aud doubtlees desiring to break the “hoodoo” that bad always followed him, he received the nomina­ tion for member of the board of educa­ tion and was elected. He was renomi­ nated, and at election time was grace fully retired to private life. With a gnawing ambition for public office that would brook no opposition he was nominated aud elected to the State Senate. He was renominated. Everybody, except himself, thought he had had enough, so on election day he was snowed under. Fifth, he was nominated and elected to Congress. There wasn’t any crying demand for his renominatiou, except from himself, but he was renominated. So keen had become the desire of the people of his city and district to make him a one-termer, that he was defeated as usual on election day. Utterly lacking in leadership; totally unfitted for the high office of Governor, his appetite for office had grown to great proportions. By corrupting cau cases and conventions; by the moet damnable use of money; by promises of pap to profeesional tricksters and politicians; by surrendering to a politi­ cal syndicate everything of the digni­ ty and honSr of an office that an in­ telligent, capable aud competent man would cherish; he received the nominanatlon for Governor. There was no demand from tbe people for bis nomi­ nation. The corrupt use of money made the , demand. Paid hirelings nominated him and the prestige of President McKinley, together with over 100,000 republican majority in Michi­ gan elected him. Even then he ran over 25,000 behind bis ticket in this state. Now he is tempting the same fate ^hat has always befallen him when it comes to re-election. Sentiment two years ago had not crystallized as it is today. Then he ran 25,000 behind in a national election, when men gener­ ally vote their tickets straight. This year will be an off year when republi­ cans will vote more independently. Sentiment is more united against boodleism and railroad domination than ever before. If the “machine” in­ sists upon forcing his renomination down the throats of a people heartily sick and disgusted with boodle methods, and more disgusted with his weak sur­ render of the dignity of his office, the “machine” must take the consequences. Gov. Bliss may be renominated. Snap caucuses and conventions have been held because the righteous indignation of the people was feared. There always comes a day of reckoning however, and we believe that this will take place next November, when the people of this state will record their judgment. Unless we are mistaken history will re­ peat Itself. For the sixth time Gov. Bliss will be voted a one-termer. the broad declaration that the republi can party In Michigan could not afford to IUWM.WW indon* boodkism. renomi wv r——, either —by ■him __ with Utting Blta or by replacing him with any of the men who contested with him in the battle of the barrels two years ago. He has never wavered in iert****** that that contention or ceased tc ; if It ig the party would deserve de _______ it battle nored the warning. With cry he haa roused the republicans of his county to the courageous and man­ ly action of Tuesday and placed them in luminous contrast to the machineruled conventions of other counties. Barry isn’t a very big county, but it has set an example of decency and hon­ or which cannot fail of some effect during the remainder of the campaign, and which may well serve to impress upon the leaders and bosses of tbe par­ ty the danger their schemes will be in if they insult their honest folio were by forcing the party precedent plea in the state convention. —Detroit Tribune. Will Nomination of Bliss invite De­ feat. The above question is being widely discussed throughout the entire state. His powerful machine of office-holders, whose influence is everywhere exerted to force his nomination may accom­ plish its end; yet this question remains, Will the people ratify or repudiate the nomination? Heretofore he has been his own hoo doo. Not satisfied with one term as aiderman, supervisor, member of board of education, state senator, congress man he secured a renominatiou and was defeated every time. Can the re­ publican party afford to hazard defeat, by submitting to the dictations of the Bliss machine? This is an off year in politics and that alone will be cause for a great fall­ ing off in the republican vote, and that of itself should be an urgent reason for nominating some such man as John Patton or G. B. Horton who will give to the ticket strength rather than to re­ nominate Bliss who will prove a dead weight and may lose the republican party a governor as it did in Jerome. Tbe interests of the party are of much greater importance than the private ambition of any man for a renomina tion. The party flrat; the individual, the unit, last. Moreover, throughout the state—we speak from personal knowledge in Montcalm county—there is great dis­ satisfaction with Bliss and often a freely expressed purpose to vote against him if his state machine se­ cures his nomination. Many propose to express detestation of tbe kind of politics be represents. And some congressmen and othera in close districts are becoming more and more uneasy at the possibility^, that Bliss is to weigh down the head Jot the ticket. They fear that tbe ggreat slump in the Bliss vote will dr lem down also to defeat; so they not favor Bliss. There is a line opportunity to nomi­ nate and elect a strong and clean man like Horton or John Patton, and the re­ publican party will act wisely if it shall nominate and elect such a man and permit Bliss to retire into political obscurity.—Greenville Independent.

Detroit, Mich., June 10.—Sheriff Hammond of. Lansing went to Eli R. Sutton’s home yesterday armed with a warrant for the arrest of Sutton on S charge of perjury In connection with the recent scandal of the -state mili­ tary department, but no traces of the man could be found. He also ques­ tioned Mrs. Button closely, but got very little satisfaction from her. She would not say where her husband w<u, but said she understood he would present himself at Lansing. From the house the officers went to Sutton's of­ fice. When they reached there, they were surprised to find that Mrs. Sut­ ton had already arrived and was chat­ ting with the stenographer. The lat­ ter would, say nothing except that Sut­ ton left the office at about " k Saturday afternoon, and haa not leturned. It is believed by some that Sutton has gone to New York to confer with friends. Others think he will soon sail for South Africa, where his broth­ er Walter is located. Fooled the Detective. An interesting gathering was held in Superintendent Downey's office last evening. Superintendent Downey com­ plained that instructions were ~eiAt from Lansing to keep a watch over Sutton without his knowledge, and that it was impossible to do thia suc­ cessfully. He said the police had kept tab on Sutton until Saturday afternoon and that the detective watching his of­ fice was led tp remain there when Sut­ ton left because the latter left his desk open. He blamed the Lansing author­ ities for publishing news of the war­ rant and thus giving Sutton the cue to make himself scarce. a UnlqpM bchamo. | 1 I , । | Chicago.

The following Is the origin of "I ac­ knowledge the corn," which Is used In the sense of admitting failure or hav­ ing been outwitted: In 1828 Andrew Stewart was In congress discussing the principles of protection and said In the course of his remarks that Ohio, Ken­ tucky and Indiana sent their hay­ stacks, cornfields and fodder' to New York and Philadelphia markets to sell. Charles A. Wyckliffe jumped up and said: "Why. that is absurd, Mr. Speak­ er. I call tbe gentleman to order. He Is stating an absurdity. We never send haystacks or cornfields to New York or Philadelphia." “Well, what do you send?’ asked Stewart. "We send," replied Wyckcllffe, "horses, cattle, hogs and mules.” “Well,” continued Stewart, "what makes your horses, cattle, bogs and mules? You feed >100 worth of bay to a horse; you get on top of your hay­ stack and ride off to market. How about your cattle? You make every one carry >50 worth of bay or grass to an eastern market You send a hog worth >10 to market. How mnch corn at 33 cents a bushel does it take to fatten it? Why, thirty bushels. Then you put thirty bushels of corn Into the shape of a hog and make It walk to an eastern market” Before Stewart could proceed furthei Wyckliffe arose and said. “Mr. Speak­ er, I acknowledge the corn.” 9e*teh C*M**l*ti*m.

[H'l CALIFORNIA flcient to be trusted for most efficient home-keeping, and adding most quaint­ ly: “Women ar^jiot all bornl with this Instinct; most of tte are not bom with much of anything; we have to be trained.” She averred that the true test of education was in the practical results, how much we can dq, rather than how much we know, and the studies in which hands came to the as­ sistance of the brain “not only fixes the relation ot cause and effect iu our memories, but also shifts the strain from nerves to muscles,” affording "a relief from the work that is purely a mental effort” Mrs. Neville, of Green Bav, Wiscon­ sin, followed Mrs Lamed in a discus­ sion of this naper, indorsing it fully. She also gave an interesting account of 1 the birth and growth of the movement I for the introduction of household1 economics into the curriculunr of the I higher educational institutions, with; the results attending Downer College, Milwaukee. Not only was a chair of Household Economics endowed, but through the generosity of a friend, a woman by the way, a loan fund was es­ tablished, from which any girl desiring to take up that study, might draw out sufficient money to do so, returning the amount whenever she could convenient­ ly do so, without interest. Miss Lawson next introduced Presi­ dent Benjamin Ide Wheeler of the University of California, in a very happy manner, as one who represented the east and the west in educational matters, and who united their interests. President Wheeler’s appearance on the platform was evidently a surprise to many, his name not appearing on the printed program. The prolonged ap­ plause he received attested to his wel­ come, and was a noisy recognition of his kindness iu paying a visit to Los Angeles, especially to offer greetings to the women iu attendance upon the Bieunial.

Party loyalty does not require a man to hold his nose, when he goes Into the booth to vote for governor that he may not smell the stench of rotten politics that a lot of machine politicians, state hirelings, and lick spittles have put up for him. Party loyalty does not require a man to forsake his conscientious regard for things he most honestly believes to be right, and get down- In the mud with a lot of ward heelers, caucus buyers, and corporation tools, men who have pol­ luted the very source and strength of our government. Party loyalty does not require a man to Ignore political jobbery, wink at political trickery, and disregard political corruption. The contention of the Journal that because the most ardent Bliss support­ er would vote for Mr. Patton, if he should defeat Gov. Bliss in the conven­ tion, therefore the friends of Mr. Pat­ ton should vote for Mr. Bliss, in case of his nomination, is about on a par with the Journal’s recent Hop into the Bliss band wagon. The delegates who will go to the state convention and vote for any candidate beside Bliss or Steams, do so because the people that sent them are heartily sick, tired and disgusted with the disreputable, dis­ graceful political methods purseed by them in their boodle contest of two years ago. A third candidate will be supported to show the spirit of deepseated resentment that Michigan repub­ licans feel towards the damnable poli­ tical methods pursued in this state. No republican Is under any obligation, either party or moral, to vote to sup­ port so flagrant a boodler and so weak a man as is Gov. Bliss. His nomination two years ago was bought with money furnished by corporations it is clrfmed: if he is renominated it will be simply by the snap caucuses and conventions manipulated by Bliss hirelings paid by the state. His- nomination would be no more than crowning boodleism; encouraging machine methods at state expense, and rewarding snap-caucus buyers. If the renomination of Gov. Bliss is io be achieved at such a great sacrifice of OUr everything that an honest republican voter cherishes, then the more dftided the defeat administered Gov. Blia/ the better it will be for the party. No voter is under any obligation whatever to sacrifice his conscientious regard, aud desire for, honest politics, to effect the election of a governor who is a self-confessed boodler, aud this at­ titude of the Journal will lessen the respect for it of honest minded republi­ cans. The republicans of Michigan are in no position to indorse boodleism. If nominated Gov. Bliss ought to be defeated, and we confidently believe he Avil! be., The republicans of Michigan who place party honor alxrte party success, are not all dead yet.

For instance, a chick is confined in a rage from which it can escape only by pecking at a certain spot and so open­ ing tbe door. It sees the other chicks and food outside and reacts to the sit­ uation (confinement) according to Its inborn organization by running about. Peeping, Jumping at the walls, trying to squeeze through any small openings and pecking at the barriers confining It. The chick feels a score or more of Impulses to a score or more acts. If Its reactions include one particular act— namely, a peck at a certain spot—it of course escapes. This one act Is followed by freedom, food and general comfort The other acts resulted only in a continuance of the unpleasant solitary confinement If after the chick has enjoyed freedom awhile we put It Into tbe cage again, we have a repetition of the first event except that the chick Is likely to run and peep and jump and squeeze less and to peck at the door sooner. If we continue this process, so that the chick is again and again confronted by tbe situation — “confinement In a box of such and such appearance” — it con­ stantly decreases the useless acts and performs the suitable one sooner and sooner until finally it pecks at the spot Immediately whenever put Into that box. It has lea Hied, we say, to get out af the box by pecking at a certain spot SATURDAY. Confessed Before Hanged.—Perry Christian, the Fayette county.

At first the phalanx consisted of 4,000 men, but this number was aft erward doubled by Philip of Macedon and the double phalanx is hence bftet called the Macedonian phalanx. Poly bins describes it thus: “It was a square of pikemen. I con­ sisting of 16 In flank and 500 tn front j Tbe soldiers stood so close together that the pikes of the fifth rank extend­ ed three feet beyond tbe front The rest whose pikes were not serviceable owing to their distance from the front couched them upon the shoulders of those who stood before them and, so locking them together in file, pressed forward to support and push on the former rank, by w-hlch means tbe as­ sault was rendered more violent and Irresistible." Tbe spears of those be­ hind also stopped the missiles of the enemy. Each man’s pike was twentythree feet long. The word phalanx is also used for any combination of peo­ ple distinguished for solidity and firm­ ness. A grand phalanx consisted of 16,384 men. sion among the members of tbe family as to what her name should be. “We will call her Geraldine,’’ said the fond mother. “Why not call her Esmeralda?’ said the first grandmother. “I saw that name in a story once and always want­ ed to try It on a baby.” “Ob. murmured the second grand­ mother, “that would never do.

Hastings, Mich. DYroSr:articl« of May 22nd, me such Injustice that t should like the privilege of a reply and ask that the same may be published. Your statement chat I surmised while | in Kansas that I waa coming down I with small pox Is absolutely untrue. I had not the slightest Idea that such was the ease, nor did the doctor who attended me while I waa sick at S«lan. Kansas, give me any such intimation, nor waa my sickness the cause of my coming home. I had finished my trip and was coming to Chicago anyway and aa I usually do when 1 come to Chicago I came out to Michigan to see “iy^ther and 1 did not drive to Irving but walked, nor did my coming have anything whatever to do with bw coming. While on the way to Irving 1 met a tramp who, together with hia wife, were walking from Grand Rapids to Jackson. He told me that I had the small pox, but, refusing to believe that any authority on contagious diseases would be tramping through the coun­ try with his wiie/l very naturally paid no attention to what he said. I had not the slightest idea that 1 had the small pox until L was told so by Dr. Fuller who advised me to go to Dr. Barber's house and see him. Not find­ ing him there I returned to the office and waited till his arrival. He advised me to get a buggy and drive home, but nothing whatever was said about my father driving with me. nor was it so intended. Now, while It is true that 1 had exposed my parents, unwittingly, still I don’t think anyone would for a moment claim that there would be no additional danger to them in my then returning home. If I returned home 1 thought the chances were that they would all have the disease and this, of course, I was very anxious to avoid. •It seemed to me that the best thing I could do as long as I could not be,tak­ en care of in Hastings was to go to Grand Rapids where I could be isolated and not expose any more people. The danger of my exposing people on the train was very slight as compared with the danger of exposing my parents should I return home. I am willing to take all the blame that justly belongs to me, but I object to having people think that 1 knew 1 had the small pox when I came home. According to this it would seem that the only reason 1 came home'was to expose my parents and all my friends and I think my actions after that show that this was just what I was trying to avoid. . Hoping that you will give this article a space in your paper. I am. V ery respectfully. Chas. Andri s. Parmelee. Mrs. E. E.

Angell’s Address, The addresses of President Angell, the “Grand Old Man" of the Michigan University, to the graduates of that institution, are always filled with sound, sensible advice, that young men and women just going out into the world may well heed. The ' following is a portion of the address delivered by hinr this year to the graduating class: “fn .these days of abounding prosper­ ity tpd colossal fortunes, it is to be that the overweening greed for will not make its way from the t place into the souls of the scooters. Are they to be stimulated to research for the .purpose of finding some method of filling their pockets with gold? Is all this generous provis­ ion for aspiring students trended’ merely to nelp them discover t>ome short way of making themselves rich? Are our young scholars to be fired with the desire of becoming multi million­ aires, or, on the contrary, with that loftier and nobler passion for discover­ ing the simple truth? “If all the munificent endowments, over which we are rejoicing, are to put an end to the good old days of ‘plain living and high thinking,’ and lead our ingenuous voung men and young wotnen to forget their pure and lofty and unselfish ideals, which have been the scholar’s possession and inspiration, better, far better, that those endow­ ments should have been sunk in the fathomless seas. If learning should cafch the spirit of plutocracy and be wedded to greed, the intellectual and social consequences would be most dis­ astrous. The quest of the scholar would then be not for the whole light of truth, in which one traces the foot­ steps of God, but for tfie cunning devlMs of the alchemist who can turn all cblr.gB into gold. ^fhe humble, earnest thinker, living ic£ simplicity, has been above all men the reconciler of classes. Respected alike by the rich and the poor he has often stretched bis hands in loving friendship across the chasm which di­ vided them. But, if he is consumed with greed, and is using all his talent and all his learning; merely to fill his coffers, he can no longer hold this med­ iatorial office. It has always been the glory of the universities that they were the most democratic of all institutions. Ln their halls rich and poor assemble on terms of perfect equality. Their life has been consecrated to moral and spiritual ideals. If it shall ever come to pass that avarice consumes the young souls in their halls and that their old spiritual ideals give place to the love of acquisition and of luxury, then a long farewell to all the glory of these venerated shrines of learning. “The eager scholar may wrest from nature her secrets, which will fill all the world with blessings and even with inKferial wealth. But may his soul stfH abide on that high ethical level on ,whieh the medical profession from the jtfys of Galen has stood when it ha refused tn make a monopoly of any renfredy which could relieve human suffering or prolong human life. With unselfish spirit, to trace the divine footsteps, to leani the exact truth about nature, about man, about God, and to apply this knowledge to the amelioration of the condition of the race and to the upbuilding of human character, that is the sublime call of the scholar. Nothing lower or meaner should satisfy ambition.” BA((Al A UDE ATt , �;^“S£lrNN (AUFORNIA Lnd bto Uwrty tone* windows, " Wonder if ■ not tlx married HMkrto"* Llks*. H COOK. BRO5.* PROPRIETOtJ.

Ga.. of whleb Co­ lumbus la the county sent has made some movement In the way of better county highways. Tbe county comu’iMioner* are taking much interest In the subject, and one of their number. Colonel W. L. Tillman, has for some time devoted a great deal of attention Io roadmaking. The county chain gang Is used for road construction, says the Louisville Courier-Journal. A system In vogue until the last year or two has been to put the convicts at work In different sections of the country re­ pairing the bad places in' the roads. Necessarily this system did not accom­ plish much. It has now been changed, and tbe work Is confined to .the mak­ ing of Improved roads, the whole body A BO AD LN GEORGIA. of convicts being placed at work on one road until completed. At present there are stretches aggregating thirty miles of improved county roads in tbe county. Colonel Tillman recently took a large party of delegates over what is known as the Glade road for a distance of nine miles, showing the work already done on that road and that now under way. A year ago this road was almost impassable. For tbe greater part of the distance now it is a splendid high­ way. macadamized with native mate­ rials. gravel being used for the founda­ tion and the surface being of clay and gravel On one portion of the road the surfacing has been done with refuse from fertiliser planta and this mate­ rial is giving excellent results. At the end of the Glade Spring road an immense cut has been made through a sand hill and an almost impasaaole grade leveled down, so that -when the work is completed farmers will have a splendid demonstration of the benefits of road construction Colonel Tillman estimates that with bls convict force be can complete from ten to twelve milps of macadamized roadway a year. There are now something like 300 miles of country highway in the county, only one-tenth being completed. Mus­ cogee county has no public debt, and its taxation is tbe lowest in tbe state of Georgia, with the exception of one county which depends upon the reve­ nue of the dispensary system. ROADS IN DELAWARE. From one end of Delaware to the other goes up tbe cry for good roads. The old time patching methods and the dumping of mud on the roads, only to be washed away by the next rain, carry off the hard earned money paid by the farmers for road taxes. Tbe first step for good roads will be taken this season when tbe convicts will furnish broken stone with which to begin the work of building a solid state road, says tbe Philadelphia North American. Water and narrow tires are two causes which contribute to the ruin of roads. The rut from a passing wagon forms the trough for rain, and the next wagon simply digs deeper, and the destruction continues. Wide tires roll and harden the surface, and every wide tired wagon and traction engine becomes a road roller. A movement is now on foot to have a wide tire law enacted by the next leg­ islature. Every wagon which cuts up tbe roads can be changed Into a help In making better roads. Tbe recent storm left in its wake wagons and carriages by the hundreds In the state as a monument to bad roads. Turn where you may. broken vehicles are lying by the roadside, telling of tbe February storm and the bad roads of Delaware. Railroads Dota* a Great Work. It is gratifying to note that the South­ ern trunk lines have taken up thia mat­ ter of good roads and are pushing the movement with rigor. There Is per­ haps a tinge of selfishness to this rail­ road activity, as better roads mean an increased volume of freight, but the movement Is none the less praisewor­ thy for that The railroads we ex­ pending vast sums in impressing south­ erners with the benefit of good roads and Illustrating tbeir argument with the construction of well drained and well laid out dirt highways, graded and kept according to scientific engi­ neering principles, says tbe Richmond (Va.) Times. In carrying out this good work these roads sre looking a long way ahead—looking, in fact*to a time when the country farmer will be able to market every pound of bls produce tn wet or dry weather. Papers everywhere are urging the construction of better roads. They speak of this method and that method, but it all will amount to nothing until another and better system is establishBergen Springs (Mich.)

The Journal seems to assume to it­ self the special privilege of heaping in­ sult not only upon the business men of the city, but in a recent issue character­ ized all the delegates to the recent re­ publican convention, who voted for the anti-boodle resolutions, as “Dagoes.” Tbe republicans who attended that convention as delegates were represen­ tative men in their localities, men who I desire better and more honest politics | in Michigan, and are men who are not | afraid to express their honest senti- i ments at any time, or in any place. rSuch men as were present at the repub- J lican county convention are not “Da-1« goes,” nor will they become “Dago" like tools of any man, or set of men. They represent tbe intelligence, the honesty, and the independence neces­ sary for the preservation of republican Institutions. Present a question of right or wrong to them and they have no hesitancy In expressing just where they stand, and expressing it emphati­ cally. The statement of the Journal that these men would surrender their rights as citizens, and “Dago-like" jlindly follow the lead of any man, or ret of men, is a rank insult to the itanding, character and reputation of lome of the leading citizens of Barry bounty, and ought to be resented. D. K. OPERATION. IN Thursday while R. I. Hendershott was fishing in Gun lake for perch, a 20 pound muscalonge came along and gobbled his bait. When be commenced to “pull in” Ike at once discovered that he was to do battle with no small fish. Seeing that an attempt to hold onto the pole, which was a small cane one, and hope to land his prize, was out of the question he threw the whole busi­ ness into the water, and let the fish tire himself out trying to get away. This was all that enabled him to cap­ ture the muscalonge as the line and hook were both small. After working a long time the fish was tired out A start was then made for shallow water, and when this was reached Wm. Peasley, who was rowing the boat jumped out to grab the fish. But Wm. mistook the depth of the water, and instead d of *■“ going in up to his ’knees, “ as “ •posed he supt ___ he would, went in clear up eyes.

All theee were most horrible and yet the natural outcome of unaided reason* reign. But there wm one still more revolting vice amongst them, and this was not even poisoning, which was so common, that the parent dare not eat the food pre­ pared by it* child. In that long list of evil* mentioned by St. Paul in hi* epistle to the Romans it is the last of these. There was no fear of God amongst them. They were cruel! The poor were oppressed, poverty waa a disgrace and the aged and helpleaa were left to die on the river bank*. Thousands were slaughtered to make a Roman holiday. Men were made to fight amongst themselves, to fight wild beast* in the arena, while the watching multitude could by the turn of tbe thumb give away the life of a fallen victim. The slave* were given by tbeir master* for public amusement. One man in the East gave 10,000 slave* to the amphitheatre: one just Emperor forbid that more than 120 person* should be killed in one day, but that law could not be carried into ef­ fect. They would take two ship* filled with men to the Mediterranean sea to fight, and set fire to the boats out upon the water* and a* the poor men climb­ ed the masts to escape the licking flames would cheer lustily and no one wa* allowed to rescue them when they fell blackened and charred into the sea. Nero used human victims, sewed in Ritched soaked canvas as torches to ght his festive gardens. This but a faint picture of the condition of so ciety when human reason reigned su­ preme; when even Socrates and Plato looking out over tbe caotic waste were forced to cry out, “God alone can help us.” This the story of reason’s reign, this the condition of mankind when Christianity came into the world. Christ came to make us free, and be­ fore His gospel’s influence slavery was banished from the world, for He took upon Himself the form of a slave. His message “all men are free and equal as St. Paul says;” whatsoever good thing any man shall do, the same shall be re­ ceived from the Lord whether he be bond or tree. Masters do justice to your servants forbearing threatenings, knowing that the Lord of both them and you is in Heaven and there is no respect of persons with Him.” A great writer today could say not a single slave to be found upon a solitary foot of Christendom. The poor were then despised, but Christ has said: “Bless­ ed are the poor, for theirs is the King­ dom of Heaven." Suffering was a rea­ son why a man should end bls life, but Christ said: “Blessed are they that suffer, for their* is the Kingdom of Heaven.” Pleasure the only aim of life with them, yet Christ say*: "Seek first the Kingdom of Heaven,” then the old and feeble left to die, how housed in homes, raised by the hands of charity. Charity the fairest flower of Christianity. In all Greek and Roman literature no word found to express an orphan asylum or a home for the aged and poor; it re­ mained for Christianity to rear these and to give them “a habitation and a name.” Labor that was then looked down upon was ennobled by Christ’s life of toil. He shed the halo of light aronnd tbe workshop and lightened the mechanics labor by becoming an arti­ san Himself. Labor no reproach, in these Christian days as the poet writes: hearts. It trffl ■ , •• j-t i. ber that tbe great God look* down from above, teach you that the evening shadows and morning’s glory speak of Him, that the radiant atmosphere tells of Hie Omnlcsience, the never tailing spring that rises from the graves of winter, the recurring day speak of His unchanging in Life. Noon day s splen donr and midnight’s starlit heavens proclaim his beauty, the peaceful ocean speaks of his immensity. All nature will tell you of His existence and mounting up through all gradations of being, science, knowledge, and educa­ tion, to be true education, must ac­ knowledge Him. My dear young friends: I congrat­ ulate you on the success you have achieved in reaching the end of your high school education. This day has been as a beacon light, leading you on through many a weary hour and many a difficulty. Natural that as tonight as you stand*on the borderland which sep­ aratee the past from the future, ming­ ling thoughts of gladness and sorrow should arise. Happy that the end has come at last, and that you are able to take your place in the world of action. Yet sorrowful, that the last farewell must be spoken, that will sever associ­ ates for a lifetime who have been daily companions in school days. Yet change and longing for new scenes of life is the na’ure of the human heart. “Ternpora mutantur nos mutain nr cum Illis,” •ays the Roman poet, “Times change and we change with them." Gratitude should naturally arise towards the teachers who have labored for your success, yet you must ever remember that your education has but begun. You have been shown the course to pursue and the instruments to use in acquiring education, and faithful fol­ lowing and using of these will be the only recompense a faithful preceptor will expect Gratitude toward parents who have maintained you by much labor and sacrifice, perhaps, at school. The future with open arms awaits you. Your country looks upon you who will be its future citizens, with wistful eye. Great opportunities she offers for all, but remember she knows that in good, moral, Christian citizens lies her future hope. In the march of life all of you mav not attain to greatness. Not every one have their names blazoned on the temple of fame. But wherever Provi­ dence may lead you, be it even along Sths most obscure, love your Christian th; practice it It will make you great, will give meaning to every phase of your existence. Then you will bring joy to your fellowmen.* raise others to a nobler life and elevate yourselves even to the dignity of inhab­ itants of heaven. Woodland.

A duck can be fed all It will eat and as often as It will eat. but if you feed a turkey the same way you are sure to have trouble. A turkey la a voracious eater and will eat as often as you feed it I can only get time to feed my tur­ keys three times a day, and as they nearly all live and make rapid growth I think that is all that is necessary. A neighbor told me that her turkeys were dying, and I sent her word to come and get some grit to give them, as K knew she was not giving them any grth I advised her to put a little In tbe fooi(jrt-ery morning. She did so. and ber turkeys are no longer dying. It was the absence of sharp grit that caused them to die.—Mrs. Charles Jones In Turkey Culture.

From tbe courts of Louis XV. and Louis XVI. come the long coats with their delicately embroidered waistcoats framed by a rich setting of fur, which Paris is delighting to honor; the rich brocades and the long stom­ acher fronted bodices, accompanied by skirts showing a gradually increasing fullness on the hip* which are already casting their shadows before them. The taste of Marie Antoinette lives again in the elbow sleeves with fine lace ruffles, tbe still finer fichus and the newest style of hairdressing. But it is from the time of the first empire that we are drawing our happiest in­ spirations. Josephine, whatever other virtues sbe may have been possessed of, had an unerring Instinct for dress, and under her guidance the fashions of that date were the prettiest of the whole of tbe past century. The present straight fronted figures are but an adaptation of the graceful outlines which tbe true empire gown displayed, the classic figure of a well built woman as nature made her. Tbe pelisses and sacks, the tippets and spencer* the graceful scarf* the profu­ sion of jewelry, are but eo many Items culled from this fascinating period, when dress was neycr alike for two weeks together.

It Is generally conceded that eggs which are perfect!^ fresh have the finest flavor. After eggs have been kept for a time tbe flavor deteriorates, even If there is no Indication of spoiling. Buch differences are especially impor­ tant when eggs are used for table pur­ poses. Stale eggs are not regarded as palatable, and the flavor of spoiled eggs Is such that for this. If for no other reason, they are totally unfit for food. The flavor of even perfectly fresh eggs Is not always satisfactory, since It Is Influenced more or less by the charac­ ter of the food eaten by the laying bens. The New York state experiment Station studied the effect of different rations upon the flavor pf eggs. Tho? laid by bens fed a highly nltrogenm ration were Inferior to those from hen fed a carbonaceous ration. They had disagreeable flavor and odor, the eggs and yolk were smaller and the keeping qualities were Inferior., In a test at tbe Massachusetts (Hatph) experiment station to compare cabtinge and clover rowen as tbe green portion of a ration fnr laying hens It was found that the eggs produced on the former ration, al­ though heavier and possessing a higher percentage of dry matter, protein and fat, were Inferior in flavor and cooking qualities to eggs produced on the ration containing clover. The North Carolina experiment station studied the effect of highly flavored food upon the eggs produced. A small quantity of chopped wild onion tops and bulbs was added to the feed of a number of hen* After about two weeks the onion flavor was noticed in the eggs laid. When the amount of onion feed waa Increased, the flavor became so pronounced that the eggs could not be used. A week aft­ er the feeding of onions was discontin­ ued the disagreeable flavor was ho longer noticed. From these tests it ap­ pears that the flavor of eggs may be materially influenced by the food con­ sumed. This is a matter of Importance, especially when poultry Is kept to supply eggs for table use.—Farmers' Bulletin, United States Department ot Agriculture., Preparations are being completed for a large and attractive poultry exhibi­ tion at the Pan-American exposition at Buffalo. George H. Burgutt of Law- i GF.OBGE H. BUBGOTT. ton Station. N. Y.. has been selected as superintendent of the poultry depart­ ment. He will be assisted by several well known judges and breeders of‘ poultry. A number of years ago a young man in tbe northwest procured some wild goose eggs, which he set under a hen. He raised two, which were both fe­ males and which J. O. Frost of Wind­ ham county procured from him. He later obtained a gander that had been winged, had stood the shock and ‘Was living in captivity. After the birds had mated and grown accustomed to the general run of tbe farm they show­ ed signs of nesting and were assigned quarters that proved acceptable, where they laid and hatched, raising some of the goslings. Since then they have an­ nually raised some. There has been Uttle if any inbreeding, as one cold, blustering day a pair of other wild ones flew in at the call of the bonded ones and allowed themselves to be driven into the barn in company with the others. They show first signs of mating be­ tween March Ifi and April 1. Suitable provision is made for their nesting, which they do about May 1 to May 15. The goose lays from four to six eggs. While sitting tbe gander stands guard over the goose and nest nearly all the time, except when both are feeding, for which purpose both go together. Both gander and goose are very pug­ nacious from the time they first go to nest until the goslings are well grown. —James M. Pulley In New England Homestead. FLOOR COVERINGS/ THE RUGS OF MANY NATIONS AND THEIR APPROPRIATE USES. Cotton* — DOM««ti< During tbe past twenty-five years considerable change lias been effect! in America in the treatment and fur­ nishing of floors, says- Tbe Delineator. Which proceeds to indicate some ot these as follows: The first really popu­ lar knowledge that America had of the EASTERN PRAYER BUG. value of oriental floor coverings waa gained at tbe centennial celebration of 1870. The leaven bos been diffused and has increased ever since until it has created a widespread interest in the history and manufacture of these rugs, with an intelligent desire tor their ownership. America may take a distinctive posi­ tion In rug weaving from the produc­ tions of tbe Indians in the west The value of their work becomes better known and more appreciated each year. The Navajo race produces the best examples of rugs, and it la said they learned their art from the Pueb­ los. The blase of color with which the Indians adorn themselves appears also In their rugs, as their original use was a blanket or dress. Tbe patterns vary from simple parallel lines to complex figures that picture, as those of the oriental weaves, tbe legends and my­ thology of their tribes. One of the practical points of tbe Navajo rug la its imperviousness to water, it being beaten solidly together In the loom. The rag carpet of our early settlers has been revived in an artistic form by using strips of cloth dyed in different tones of one color, with occasional bits of corduroy or velvet. Another recent Industry is a rug weaving settlement in New England, in which tbe rich tones and fine dealgna of antique ruga from the east are closely copied. The Japanese jute and cotton ruga meet a temporary need where effect ia desired without any very lasting quab -xur iufv.4^. iujjs oi iw.mju are original in design and unusual la color. Though recently brought to America, they already find imitator* Our domestic Smyrna rugs serve the need that Is so often demanded by a slender pocketbook. Tbe designs are rough copies of the Turkish, sometimes woven through to make the rug reversi­ ble. A grade higher and with Increasing Improvement in tbe color and designs are tbe ruga made in strips of wilton or axmlnster that do not show the* seaming. Beginning with the bne lect from tl^ orient any of tbe Turco­ man ruga, with their dark, rich color­ ing. heavy pile and shaggy surface, and- a ba ma dan (Persian) strip on th< stairs.

S. BROWN. A FORMER WELL-KNOWN HASTINGS MAN Is Now a Salesman for C. B. Cottrell & Son's Co., Manufacturers of Printing Presses. The following reproduction of the genial countenance of Charles S. Brown, For tills firm Charley continued his services up to a few days ago. In the eleven years in which he worked for Barnhart Bros. & Spindler, he was giv­ en to understand that his employers appreciated his work by giving him more congenial duties, and by merited increases in his compensation from time to time. The relations between him and his employers were always of the moat friendly character, and the venerable men at the head of the firm took a deep personal interest in him. For a number of years Mr. Brown had been city salesman for his firm. 1 His duties led him to become tetter and better acquainted with pnuting ’ machinery, particularly presses, and he ’became more and more interested in their sale. This experience has fitted him exactly for his new duties. He । now finds himself in the place he has i long been desiring, and his ability and experience recognized not only by a splendid advance in salary, but with a position with the leaders in their line, and with work exactly to his liking.

Mr. Holland by saying that the narrow tire waa the greatest enemy of good roads. “I have been practicing law In the Bock river valley nearly half a eentury and have seen the effect of row tires wltd which yonder Wagon la fitted out, and I am convinced that whatever action may be taken In an endeavor to improve the roads of the country will amount to little unless there is first legislation looking toward the abolishment of narrow tires on ve­ hicles. The farmers generally reedgnlM this fact, but as long as there Is no concerted action among the manu­ facturers as well as among the users of vehicles little will be accomplished. The common highway is the fanners’ only outlet to the shipping .points on the railways. Over this highway must be transported all the agricultural products of the country not fed to live NABBOW TIRX8 CUT DEEP, stock. It Is also the pleasurable drive for the rural resident as the boulevard Is for those whd live in the city. These highways should be built In such a manner as to be hard and smooth all :be year round. "This, of course, would be a magnifi-cent work, but It would be labor thrown away with the present style of vehicle in use. You might just as well ?xpect to keep a brussels carpet in good repair under hobnailed shoes as *o keep good roads iu condition under a arrow tires. Loaded wagons with jarrow tires would cut up the best dirt roads that could be built faster than they could be repaired with all the .’orce In the country. It Is simply nonicnse to talk of having good country toads as long as the narrow tires are jsed.” "How could this be remedied?’ "Nothing short of legislative enact­ ment looking toward the abolishment jf narrow tires on all vehicles Intended for freighting purposes would briug ibout the cliange. And without that change, as 1 have said, the building of food roads will continue to be a farce. Look at all the labor expended by farmers on road work. What does it imount to? Positively nothing. In most cases the roads are the worse for It Dirt is thrown up from the borders of (the highway Into its center, where it lies In a big. soft drift “Then come the narrow tired wagons and cut Into this unpacked mass as a knife cuts into a soft cheese. The re­ sult is easily to be seen—ridges and ruts and gullies everywhere along the highway that bad these vehicles been fltted with wide tires, might have been packed firm and level. "it is not to be supposed that all the wheels of all the wagons of the conntry could be changed at once from nar­ row to broqd Urea. That would be an ,act so costly os to make It impossible of fulfillment without the backing of bayonets. Between the enactment of legislation looklug toward the abolish­ ment of narrow tires and the day set for, its final enforcement there should be time enough for a gradual change in the manufacture of the vehicles and also to give the owners of single vehi­ cles an opportunity to remedy the de­ fect In them. ’The average life of a farm wagon la estimated at five years. A bill that ■houl^make Jt a jnJodemeanor to drive upon any public highway with a nar­ row tired vehicle five years after the enactment bf the law would work no harm to any one.

Oftet the supply of fresh fruit and vegetable* is limited during the .winter sea»GQ» and the system is now calling for ele ments that have been wanting. True, common salt has been supplied in the food, and lime may have been given, but these crude substances are not identical with the lime and sail contained In fruit, vegetables and grains.

The officials of the union, at a conference, told Chairman Job of the board of ar­ bitration that they were willing to per­ mit employes of the different com­ panies to meet officials of the same to discuss the wage scale, providing a joint conference should bo held, at which officials nt the union would be permitted to act as advisers to the men. The arbitration board is now working on the matter In an effort to bring about a conference between the rail­ way managers and committees repre­ senting the meu. As the railroad offi­ cials have favored this step from the beginning of the controversy, there is little doubt that the strike can be set^ tied satisfactorily to both sides if the conference shall be arranged. Lack of unanimity already per­ meates tbe strike. The Chicago Fed­ eration of Labor was ignored when the order wu Issued tor the men to quit work, and Its executive officials are somewhat offended and are Inclined to let the freight handlers fight out the:.- > battle In their own way There are 12.000 freight handlers lu and about the various freight houses ot the twenty-four railroads centering In Chi-1 cage. Of this number more than^OOd are now involved n the strike. Some ot the men who quit work d d so under protest. Notably this was the case in th« houses of the Uks Shors and Michigan Central roads I To add to the present difficulties of the railroads, the teamsters and truck drivers union threatens to join in a sympathetic strike. If this shall occur. it will affect all incoming and out­ going freight of every kind. . AntlclPa.V“K.^,8_F^’|h_l»‘Je»1^ such ' a strike, the railroad companies had । brought to Chicago a considerable [ number of men to take the places of' the strikers. These men were inter­ cepted by pickets of the strikers and most of them were Induced to join the freight handlers' union. Government Army Routed. Willemstad. Island of Curacao, July 8.—News has reached here from Ven­ ezuela to the effect that 3,000 govern­ ment troops, under General Mules to Castro, the president’s brother, were completely routed July 3 between Bar­ celona and Aragua by troops of the revolutionary army under the com­ mand of General Rolando. The gov­ ernment forces lost all their ammuni­ tion and equipment and many of the soldiers deserted to the revolutionists during the engagement.

TERRIBLE STORMS Reported In Both East and WestEnormous Damages. Buffalo, July 7.—A terrine rain and windstorm swept over wastern New i ork at an early hour Sunday.

Perhaps that was the real reason he was not out deer hunting with tbe men. But be thought it was because he did not want to go. "I’ll never kill a poor little deer wheh I am big,” he said to his grandmother, but she did not answer or seem to nor tlce, because she knew that all men, even the very kindest, like her son, Boy's father, saw no harm In shooting down the soft eyed creatures, and she thought tbe child would outgrow bls opinions. So she only said: “I guess you will forget about being sorry for the deer when you eat him broiled over the coals for your dinner. I shouldn’t wonder a bit if your pa brought la a wild turkey too. There have been a lot of them lu the woods just below the timber line, and the snow Is covered with rabbit tracks.” Then tbe busy old lady hurried cheer­ ily around tbe cabin, and Boy sat and looked out of the window nt the moun­ tain peaks that rose against the deep blue of the sky. It is not every little child who can live so near the clouds as Boy lived. But he was a whole week above the village In tbe valley— that is, It took tbe mule train that long to get up to their cabin in the summer. In the winter they called it three months above the town, for as long as the nilow was on the hills no one ever thought of making the journey. Boy’s father was a prospector, and he had an Idea there was gold higher up on the hills than any one supposed; He had at first intended to go up alone and cainp for a season and return to the village lu the fall, but Boy’s grand­ mother put her little plump foot right down and said: "No. It you are going up there. Boy and I are going too.” What can a man do when the foot that wears the slipper that used to spank him Is put down hard? He could not do anything but say, "All right,” as though that was what he had been thinking of all the time, and let them go with him.

Come here!’’ He put out bis little mlttened hand, and the bear laughed and slid his bend under It for the caress. They were Ilka this when Boy’s father came back in wild haste and upon them. For a mo­ ment be stood speechless and amazed; then his rifle leaped to bls shoulder. The child looked up, and In a moment his chubby arms were around the wild beast’s neck, and the man’s hand fell to his side at the moment the bear caught sight of and recognized an ene­ my. He sprang from the friendly em­ brace and, rising on his hind feet,made a- furious dash at the newcomer. But Boy, kicking his feet free, was again clinging to the shaggy sides. “Nice doggie!” he cried. “Don’t hurt my papa!” And tbe beast settled down under the baby hand and then turned and walked, without looking back, into the timber below them. Ail this happened during the first printer of their stay oh tbe mountains, when Boy was only four years old. After that he used to stand at the door and call “Mamie! Mamie!” day after day. “Why do you call him that name?" his father asked, and the little fellow replied; “Oh. just io he’ll knew I love him. Mamie sounds that way, yon know.” So he called “Mamie” to his heart’s content and one day the bear came to the place and nearly frightened grand­ ma to death. But she saw the baby run out and throw his arms around the shaggy neck and saw the pointed head over the little gingham shoulder. Then she just sat down, trembling, and cried and said she couldn't stand It But her own little one had disarmed a wild an­ imal. She spoke to her son about it that night and he looked a long time into the fire and then went over very softly and kissed the boy as he lay asleep. Then he said diffidently, as people will when they are grown up and shy about speaking tender things: “Mother, you used to tell me some things, and one, I remember, waa like this, *A little child shall lead them.’” Boy's grandma did not say a word, but she nodded her head very gently and smiled into her son’s brown, beard­ ed face as they sat there In the alienee.

They swarm In every brook and river, sad they even live on dry land. There is one crab that would die if you threw him into the water. He would be drowned. He Is called tbe land crab. He likes to live tn the shadow of some damp, dark forest. The forest will often be a great way from the sea, but he does not care about that He hides himself la a bole and Iles there as snug as possible. When It is getting dusk, be. comes out of bis bole and runs about a little, very likely to catch something for sup­ per. Nature has provided in a very in­ genious manner for the wants of these land crabs. I must tell you that the gills, or breathing apparatus, of the crab lie In the center of the body and look like a number of loose fringes. It is necessary to tbe creature’s health that these gills be kept damp. But as the crab will often go on a how Is it to be done? A number of little sacks, like water bags, are placed under the gills.

These names presented by the com­ mittee did not prevent nominations from the floor. From certain straws, indicating the way of the wind on Tuesday, no one was surprised when Mrs. Gallagher, of Ohio, presented the name of Mrs. Platt-Dqcker, of Denver, for President. She had hardly gotten to the end of her neat little speech, when a voice from the gallery, which proved to belong to Mrs. Decker, in quired most strenuously if “she heard her name used by a member ou the floor!” The chair called the lady in the gallery to order, and recognized Mrs. Lou V. Chapin, of Los Angeles, who endorsed Mrs. Decker, on the ground that “she had already stepped out of the race three times, and she thought no one ,woman had the right to shut the mouths of hundreds of wom­ en.” The tremendous applause that followed this speech, was an evidence of the popularity of the Denver lady, who by this time had made her way to the right of the platform, and made a strong appeal to the president of the Federation and the delegates, reiterat­ ing a statement that she had made (Continuedon pace*.) No More Routes Now. So popular has free rural mail de­ livery become that all of the counties want the inspector at the same time to establish new routes. Some have shown considerable impatience, but when it is taken into consideration that the number of inspectors is limit­ ed, as is the appropriation to promote rural free delivery, it must be conceded that everything is being done that can be done. Congressman Hamilton is doing everything that he can for his district, and when it comes Barry county’s turn the inspector will come here. — In --------------answering friend—in— De------=» -a-----------calur who had written him, Congressman Hamilton writes in part as fol­ lows: “As you know I am absolutely de­ pendent on the department for the services of an agent. If for any rea­ son the department declines to assign an agent in the district I am power less to compel a change of decision. I have worked all winter to get an agent into the district, and have repeatedly been met with the argument that the Fourth district had more than its pro­ portionate share of routes. It was not until about April 1 that I could get an agent I expected and understood that he would clean up about thirty routes. I think he only covered twenty-one or twenty-two when he was called out of the district I have been doing my best during the last few days to get him back again but without success. I hope to be able to have Mr. Robards again this fall or rather late in the summer, and I hope he can get into VanBuren county. I am motiving letters from towns there which have no service and which have have had peti­ tions pending for more than two years. Neither Hartford nor Bangor have any routes and they are properly claim­ ing that they should have. I presume that when the agent comes into the district he ought to go to those towns. He ought to go to Barry coun­ ty where they have had but three routes. There are very few routes in Allegan.” Street Car Accident. Late Friday evening while returning from Lake View in one of the asylum street cars Lorenzo Maus was thrown from the car at the corner of Bose and Main streets and quite seriously in­ jured. The cause of the accident seems to be something of a mystery as the boy told two stories, being so badly demor­ alized that he hardly knew what did happen. At first he said that he was on the trailer and then he said he was on the main car. He claimed that he received an electric shock. At any rate he was hurled to the pavement and sustained a severe contusion on the head and a sprained ankle. Conductor Lewis and Motorman Vander Walker were in charge of the , car and did not know of the accident until later when notified by the officers. Possibly he was hit by one of the iron trolley poles and did not receive a shock at all. If he was struck by a pole, it must have been the same one upon which a man was killed several years ago and against which Coach Guy Johnson of the college was hurled only a few weeks ago. Maus is only a boy. He was taken to 203 north West street, where he re­ sides with his brother, F. B. Maus. His Injuries will not be serious. KalamoMM Qazettc, July 12.

LOVIS MERKANEN Boy of 16 A WHOPPER who does his Moving Around in a No. 20 Shoe. Houghton, Mich., June 30.—When Louis Merkanen, a youth of Boston lo­ cation, buys a new pair of shoes the shoemaker must “build" not “make" them. There is a distinction. Louis does not wear an ordinary shoe. He wears quite an extraordinary one, for it is size No. 20. Louis is just 16 years ■of age. Notwithstanding his youthful­ ness he is seven feet tall and weighs 289 pounds. He is the wonder of his community, for his parents are small. His mother is not over five feet tall, while his father is medium sized. Louis went to a local shoe dealer and ordered a new pair of shoes, and now the.wielder of the awl is busy “build­ ing” a pair of lasts the size of Louis* feet. The lad grows three inches a year on an average, and if he does not stop growing—which is unlikely—he will be eight feet and two inches in height when he is 20 years old. Two years ago he wore a No. 16 shoe. Last year when he was confirmed at the Finnish church the shoemaker “built" a pair, size No. 18, for that event. At this rate, if his feet continue to grow as they have, he will require size No. 28 when he is 20 years old. Obituary. After a long, protracted illness of several years, Mrs. Sarah E. Van Vleck passed away at her home near Silver Leaf, Saturday afternoon. She had been a sufferer for years with tumor, and of late has gradually been growing weaker and weaker until the end finally came Saturday. The funeral will be held today, and services will first ba held at the house and later at 2 o’clock this afternoon, at the church In Silver Leaf, Rev. Carmen of the Baptist church officiating, and the interment will take place in the Ellendale ceme­ tery. The deceased was born at West Branch, Oneida county, New York, on July 21, 1840, and here passed her child­ hood and early womanhood. She waa there united to Irving Van Vleck, and the couple removed to Hastings, Barry county, Michigan, where they resided for fifteen years. In the early 80’s they came to Dakota and settled near Silver Leaf, in this county, and have since made their home here. Two sons, Fred and Earl, were born to them, and both, with the father, survive the de­ ceased—a kind, gentle and affectionate Christian lady who went about doing good, alleviating the sufferings and ministering to the wants of the poor and distressed.

This !■ trne whether they art raised for market purposes or*for tbs fancy. As fowls for tbe farm they are a benefit as well as a profit Tur­ keys must and will forage, and they cannot be raised profitably without good range. Tbe turkey is undoubted­ ly the farmer’s best friend. . They barebeen created with a rov­ ing instinct, which causes them to con­ stantly travel from one field to an­ other. In doing this they rid the place of worms, grasshoppers and other in­ sects that are detrimental to crops and a nuisance to the former. They also consume many weed seeds. A field of clover is their special delight, as it Is always the home of grasshoppers and other Insect tffA Why the Creator caused clover to grow and then created grasshoppers to eat it up is beyond my ken unless he created the turkey to eat the grasshopper. Be that as it may, we have tbe latter, and It has come to stay, and tbe only way I see out of the difficulty Is to raise the turkey and de­ rive the double profit which we get from saving the clover and filling our purse from the sale of stock. Without a good range I do not be­ lieve that the turkeys can be made as profitable as they can with It They are very heavy eaters, and one Is al­ most sure to overfeed them. This makes them sickly and often results in the loss of many birds, but If given good range on the farm they will raise themselves after they are six or eight weeks old. In order to prevent them from annoying the neighbors I bring them home each night until the habit becomes fixed. They tlten come home of their own accord. I am glad to know that a great many breeders uf thoroughbred stock are be­ ginning to appreciate the value and im­ portance of the turkey. Many flocks are raised practically without cost In cases where cattle and hogs are fed after the flrst hard freeze the turkeys will stay around tbe building and pick Up the corn which the cattle and bogs shell off, which would otherwise go to waste. This waste product la there­ fore turned into money. There is no kind of meat that can be so easily and cheaply raised on the farth as the turkey. Let tbe farmers commence with good thoroughbred . birds bred in line, the same as they do with thoroughbred stock, and they will reap a double profit each year.— Mrs. Charles Jones In American Poultry Journal.

Nevertheless, good roads are essential elements of the success of all of these, and the gentlemen of great wealth who regard themselves somewhat in the light of trustees for the proper admin­ istration of the fortunes their wisdom and energies have built up cannot find a better field for their expenditures than In making these possible. A library of magnificent architecture and superbly equipped with the stores of learning set off in a forest would be of little avail were the paths lead­ ing thereto but trails and the highways hub deep with mud. The congregation at a sublime cathedral would be small indeed were the approaches built of mire or of sand, and the beautiful phi­ lanthropy of the hospitals would go for naught if the avenues leading to their doors, through their unscientific con­ struction. but added to the pain of those brought thither to be cured.

It is tbe rarest thing In tbe world for a father or mother to come with a daughter ind see that she Is suitably lodged and properly started in her university life. I am told that when these exceptional parents do come they are apt to think that tbe president of the university should personally superintend the se­ lection of lodgings. Ordinarily the girl finds her own quarters and manages her own affairs. Her goings and com­ ings. her hours, her companions, are ill at her own disposal In tbe eastern states, where women have only gained admission to the uni­ versities after a long struggle, they take their privileges seriously. They go to Radcliffe or Barnard for study I nd net for fun. The women students In a western college or university are not a picked lot Seriousness is not ab­ sent by any means, but frivolity is present Girls even say that they hate to graduate because they will have no more “good times.” The girls who come to tbe university t tor amusement rather than for study ire without doubt greatly in tbe minor­ ity. but because they are here at ail there should be some system of guard­ ianship. To be sure, in every condi­ tion ot Ufe things happen that ought not to happen. At the same time, a girl who Is guarded during her years of Irresponsibility may live a long Ufe and go to her grave without a suspi­ cion of what might have been her own capabilities In the way of folly if she had been left to bereelf at that time.

Then Uncle Billy was kicked in the breast by a horse, and the hired man and the country doctor and a tin peddler scattered the news abroad that he would never live to see another sun­ rise.

The American wife knew nothing of her sister-In-law, and she appreciated tbe limitations of her own finances ns well as the difficulty of choosing a gift for a stranger. But she went to a re­ pository for woman's work and dis­ covered there a dainty bag of chamois leather embroidered with wreaths of forgetmenots and emblazoned with the one word "Money,” to Indicate Its use as a secret purse to be worn about the neck In traveling. It seemed an innocent little gift, but Fritz danced with delight when he saw It “Ach, the very thing!” be cried. “1 would not write and ask her—no! But 'Money* and ’forgetmenot,’ ach, it la the most beautiful reminder!" His wife, who bad not thought of the matter in that light protested and would fain have withheld the present but Fritz was firm. It was sent to Germany at Christmas.

It costs but a few hundred dollars, will save thousands, makes a better road than is commonly made by manual labor, needs but few repairs and rarely gets out of order.

Then, too. In the matter of gravel and stone a few hours* exploration Id most neighborhoods will bring to light plenty of material that Is vastly superior for roadmaking purposes to that found In the lines of the adjacent roadways. Most of this material has rested in its original bed for ages and is substantial­ ly worthless for any purpose aside from the work of tbe roadmaker. If gravel, It should be clean, sharp and gritty, and if not naturally of this quality It should be cleaned as fully as possible by passing it through a cheap screen fwith moderately coarse meshes. Before being put In the road, unless the original soil is of. a dry, sandy or porous nature, a line of three Inch draintile should be laid beneath tbe roadway and about four feet deep if possible, for, although this is not com­ monly regarded as necessary according to tbe established American practice, it adds vastly to the permanence of the roadway and Insures its dryness at times when the gravel would otherwise disappear in the soft mud beneath. Where stone of fair quality can be easily obtained, a macadam road Is neither very costly nor very difficult of construction. It is a common notion among.farmers that the construction of a road on tbe macadam plan is a com­ plicated, difficult and expensive under­ taking. Nothing could be further from the truth. A few intelligent farmers, equipped with a few hundred dollars’ worth of machinery, can make a mac­ adam road as permanent and efficient as could be desired. The same engine that drives^ steam thrasher will operate a stone crusher, and stone crushers are becoming not only popular, but Indispensable to tbe roadmaking outfit of every intelligent rural community. Great quantities of field stone can be selected from among the harder bowlders which lie so abun­ dantly upon' the surface In many of our counties, and if each farmer who now works out bis road tax in tbe old fashioned way would contribute a few dollars to the purchase of a crusher and give a little of bls time to tbe haul­ ing of stone to the town stone heap he would be both amazed and gratified at the speed with which the stone breaker would convert those bowlders into great heaps of road metal, ripe and ready for a place in the improved road- C-’t Hasting.

The republican party deserves the continued confidence of the people by reason of its performances, and not be­ cause it makes large promises. What the republican party promises it doee. President Roosevelt has robbed the democratic party of a national issue iu the coming congressional campaign, by announcing his purpose to bring the trusts under government control. address before a bankers convention test year Mr. Gage stated that the de­ mand for good bank clerks was far above the supply, and surprised his audience by stating that he could place at least 20 of the right kind of young men in financial institutions in this country ata salary of 825,000 per year each. Charles Counselman, of Chicago, president of the American Fisheries Company receives a salary of 850,000 per year. Conrad Mathewson, of Chicago, is a young man only 35 years old. Fifteen years ago he left college and accepted a position of 812 per week in a sugar re­ fining factory. He mastered every de­ tail of the business, but owing to cut­ ting prices and unwise management, the millions invested in the business were unprofitable—in fact losing mon­ ey at the time he took hold of it By rare executive ability and splendid management he soon converted the business into a very profitable one. Richard Delafield gets 840,000 per year for looking after the 870,000,000 of the National Park Bank of New York City, and does it in a way that brings good dividends to the stockholders. Elber H. Gary, president of the Fed­ eral Steel Cooqpany, of Chicago, receiv­ es $60,000 per year. Pierre Lorillard refused to accept the presidency of the tobacco trust, which position carried an annual salary of 875,000. Tbe International Live Stock Show of 1902. Thinking that some of your readers might be interested in learning some­ thing of the third great live stock show to be held in Chicago, I will furnish some items of interest The show will be held as the two former ones, from Nov. 29th to Dec. 6th. There will be some changes in the premium list The compulsory slaugh­ ter test will be abolished, owing to lack df educational value. The swine and sheep will be shown in entirely new quarters, where they can be put into position from the cars by means of elevators. The Union Stock Yards Company has let the contract for the construc­ tion of an immense brick building 148 feet long by 75 feet wide, as an all the year educational live stock building. The ground floor is to be devoted to exhibitions of grasses and grains from various sections of the country, and feed exhibitions and modern machinery used in the feeding and preparing of feeds. This floor will be in charge of an intelligent manager who will be able to explain the various exhibits and their relative values. The second floor will contain the headquarters of the various Record Association, while the third floor will be devoted to lecture rooms, meeting rooms and a library stocked with the best publications on live stock feeds aud feeding, and the current magazines and newspapers on live stock and farming. This floor will also contain a lounging room and such other conveni encee as go with a well organized club, all of which will be at the disposal of the live stock people of the world, for their use and education. I hope, if able again to attend this great show, to see at least one hundred familiar faces of Barry County farm­ ers, instead of lhe paltry dozen of a year ago.

V z In speaking of profltz in dairying a writer in Practical Panner says: A fairly good dairy cow will pro­ duce 5.000 pounds of milk per year, which, sold at 3 cents per pound, the prevailing price, makes $150 per year. From a given ration she will consume —and we will charge tbe cow for full ration for 365 days—two and a third tons of cowpea hay, valued st $28; five tons of ensilage, valued at $10; two tons corn stover, valued __ at $10. and one-third ton cottonseed meal, val­ ued at $8. a grand total of $56 for cost of food for one cow that produces $150 worth of milk. Besides this yon have cowpea hay, which you have sold for $12 per ton, corn ensilage at $2 and corn stover at $5 a ton Ln form of milk. And then the manure! All of it but $5.60 returned to your soil. If dairy­ ing does not pay now, it is because the machines are worthless—that is, tbe cow which takes the raw material (as corn stover, cowpea hay. etc.) to make into finished products, as milk and but­ ter, is worthless. Use a good bull, then, to breed up the dairy stock, and as soon as this is done dairy stock will Improve arid dairying will become the most profitable Industry in the middle south—more profitable than cotton growing or cotton manufacturing.

Is because they make corn the main diet Corn is considered by them to be the cheapest feed and the handiest to feed, for by throwing It out oh the cur the hens are given more or less exer­ cise In picking it off; hence the owner ta saved the labor of scattering grain in the litter for the fowls to scratch out. But I have little faith In this plan of exercising and feeding fowls. With a good many farmers corn Is probably a cheap food, but even thli depends fjomewhat on the season of the year the climate and whether the hens have free range or not. In cold weather corn may be fed quite liberally to lay­ ing stock without Injury, and also to fowls having farm1 range, but when given In the way thnt many feed It, by spreading It on the ground before the bens three, times a day, all they will eot’ 1 belleTe ,ha< 11 I" expensive hen feedVosew many attribute I—______ Very the Increase of eggs to corn, when In fact the tu. :i has produced eggs more by keeping the bens warm than through th<| supp y of egg elements afforded. Eggs cannot be made to any great extent by coni alone, or for a long time, for1 the reason that a hen fed nothing but com will be unable to supply the mineral elements of the eggs, qud while she mny by eating largely of corn find sufficient nitrogen for an egg, she will sooner or later become excessively fat from too much carbon. A very economical and good feed for winter egg production Is a mixture of clover, cut In half inch lengths and scalded, with cornmeal and bran. This Is a very complete ra­ tion on all the elements necessary for eggs. It supplies bulky food, promotes digestion, affords a variety and costs less than any other food that I have been able to get. When a hen leaves com for other feed, it means that she wants some­ thing not fully supplied by com. Without exception the best results may be had from a varied diet, and, while a hen may do very well on corn, she will do better on a variety. It Is not an easy matter to make up a per­ fectly balanced ration for a laying hen. While she is producing eggs she will use a vast amount of raw mate­ rial, but if she stops laying a com diet will soon ruin her. A concentrat­ ed food for hens should be avoided. Milk added dally to other food assists largely in supplylug many needed ele­ ments not easily obtained from other sources. Clover, vegetables, milk, meat and corn or wheat are better than any single article.—V. M. Couch in Poultry Monthly. EXTRAORDINARY OFFER THEODORE ROOSEVELT PRESIDENT THE BOOK OF THE HOUR.

FOR BETTER HIGHWAYS. Soclety Organised For the Promo­ tion of Good Hoada. A movement has been started lu Me­ dia. Pa., that should receive the earnest support of every citizen. It is the or­ ganization of a society In the county for the promotion of good roads. The project has been launched well, and the Interest taken In the matter thus far Indicates that the promoters will be able to secure the co-operation of a large number of people. For some reason it has taken many years to secure general Interest In such an Important reform as the making of fine highways, and In this particular this country is far behind some of the countries In Europe, which have ideal highways, says the Chester (Pa.) Times. All of the argument is on the side of the modern road, so It Is not necessary to stop and convince the people of the utility of the well kept thoroughfare, but the question that must now be con­ sidered is bow to secure the means with which to build the roads. Some of the states In the Union are very lib­ eral in the laws for the encouragement of better highways, and In this partic­ ular Pennsylvania has much to learn from Connecticut, New Jersey. Massa­ chusetts and other commonwealths, which have miles of highways over which a carriage or a bicycle can travel with ease aud comfort If we are to have good facilities for moving about the country, aud every­ body concedes that we must, then it Is clear that the state should assist for the benefit Is to the state as well as to the Immediate territory affected. And If this Is done it will be found that the farmers and suburban residents will quickly Join In .the movement to secure first class highways. la tbU <1*/ of la«maklo« on. accumnlatM bit. of braid thatpH ba ret latactortly nttmad In maHnt amall law dolllr. similar to tho one shown In the illustration.

To follow this method baste the braid on the pattern, whip the Inside curves of the braid and draw down smoothly be­ fore it is stretched in the hoop. Great care should be used In handling while at work or the face will becomp soiled and worn around the edge of the frame. Some prefer to baste one or more thicknesses of stiff paper under the pattern to keep it In place while at work. A clean muslin doth basted or pinned over the part that la not being worked on will keep the lace from becoming soiled and worn. If it la a large piece of lace. It should be so pro­ tected to preserve Its freshness. If ju sharp pointed needle be used In filling in the stitches, the threaded eye should pass through the work first, with the sharp point resting on the thimble. This avoids splitting the threads or fastening the lace to the pattern. ‘ In basting on the braid all knots and fastenings should be left on the under side of the pattern. They will greatly Interfere with the work If left on’ top. Lace that requires frequent turning should not be finished at the edge with plcot braid.

The triangle at the center Is filled with the rosette stitch, made in the fol­ lowing manner: Pairs ot close parallel threads are carried across the space at regular Intervals. These are crossed at right angle by a second set of threads, making small squares. Twist a thread several times around the small squares to make a foundation for the rosette.

Lee at Bay View. , Petoskey, Aug. 4th] 1902, The number of resorters at Pfetoskey this year Is said to be much smaller than in the past, though at Bay View, Wequetonsing and Harbor Point, all of which are from one to six or eight miles from Petoskey and directly con netted by rail and ferry service, the at­ tendance is not much smaller than in other years. This may be a warning to Petoskey that if the city wishes to keep ita resort patronage It must get something of a hustle on to entertain visitors. Or it might be that the cool weather south has kept hotel patrons away, while those who own cottages at the points named, have taken advantage of the warm weather of late to occupy them. Be this as it may the number of people at Petoskey is much smaller than in the past. But the decreased attendance at Pe­ toskey has had no effect whatever on the supply of good, cool, pure bracing air. Good fresh air is very plentiful in Northern Michigan, and it is the kind that brings health and strength to bodies weakened by sickness, or run down by overwork. Coming fresh from the lake, or from pine covered hills it Is laden with health giving properties that have made northern Michigan famous. Petoakey is of course one of the best known cities in northern Michigan. Having exceptionally good hotel ac­ commodations-if you have the price— it is the mecca for a great number of people from other cities and states, who come here to escape the heat, dust and noise of the city and enjoy the cool breezes from the lake. This Is espec­ ially true of those who stop at the hotels. Perhaps they also enjoy the quiet excitement, incident to hotel life, as all of the large hotels treat theip guests to music or dancing in the even­ ing, the guests in turn paying for it when they walk up to the Captain’s desk to settle their bills. Petoskey is probably as well known to the majority of Banner readers as it is to me, so instead of writing any­ thing descriptive of the city I will write of a few of the people I have met. It is always interesting to me to watch the people, and especially around a hotel. There is the portly, gray­ haired, benevolent-looking old gentle­ man, evidently with a competence, who has concluded to get all of the enjoyment out of life that he can, and not in a mean, selfish way either. His face bespeaks that he is kindhearted, literal and helpful, and his courteous treatment of, and attention to, others, is very noticeable. His smile is a benediction and his laugh Is contagious. People enjoy being in h1s presence, and there is happiness and good cheer wherever he is. Then there is the long, lank, sober, and even crabbed looking individual, whose looks betoken his keen regret that someone else has a dollar that he can’t get hfe clutches on. Though he has plenty, yet he wants more. He is one of the kind that if you made him a present of a farm he would kick be cause there wasn’t a bonanza gold mine on it ’He wouldn’t smile for a dollar, because someone might catch him at it His look is enough to sour a pan of fresh milk, and he seems to take great pleasure in flocking by- him•elf“There is a peculiar acting man, I said to myself Saturday evening, as rather a tall, well-built man stood up and bared his arm and thumped his cheat in the presence of a whole ver­ anda full of people at one of the most prominent hotels in Petoskey. What struck me as being especially peculiar was the fact that though several ladies were in his immediate presence, yet not one of them could “get in a word edgeways.” He monopolized the con­ versation which seemed to be mostly on the subject of health. He was a nice looking man, dressed in a suit of light clothing, and wore a white sailor cap, which seemed to intensify the healthy tan on his face. His eyes were reetleas and bad a very peculiar ex­ pression, as if laboring under constant excitement. Later I learned that he was a man of national reputation, that a too strenuous life had undermined his health and broken down his ner­ vous system. It would be unjust, in view of his unfortunate condition to narrate some of the things it is said that be does, ao I will not mention WHOLE NO. 1AM. en Rule” Jones.

Im­ agine Pottle modernlaed and etrlcUy up to date, and you will have a fairly accurate Idea of the personality of the young woman lawyer who presides over the Rockefeller branch of the Legal Aid society. Imagine Shakespeare’s cleverest herortne after a strenuous day In ths halls of justice—the erstwhile sober, hard headed Portlft-relaxlng her bench stiffened lags by a run over the golf links: Imagine her tossing the tennis ball and tackling on the college grid­ iron or developing the judiciary biceps by a friendly bout wltb the “gloves.” Just Imagine tbe charming, clever Portia of classic memory doing all these modern athletic "stunts," and if you would see the materialization of your fancy step Into a tiny office on the second floor of 741 Tenth avenue. Here Miss Burnet can be found every workday of the week from 8 o'clock In the morning until 5 In the evening, and It In safe to say that here you will find tbe hardest worked lawyer In this city, barring none. When visited about 11 o’clock one morning recently, there were fifteen clients awaiting Miss Burnet’s return from the Tenth District court, where, as her secretary explained, she was en­ gaged In a trial Her clients were men and women In the middle and lower walks of life. “Yes. I do everything in the athletic line," Miss Burnet said In answer to a question. “I play golf, baseball, foot­ ball. basket ball and tennis, which I like best of alh I nrn also very fond of boxing, aud I think It one ot the best recreations for women. * 1 am only surprised that more women do not learn the art of handling tbe gloves, especially women whose work takes them out a great deal unpro­ tected."

While out walking the other-evening he saw a “porcupine," an animal of which he had beard but had never be­ fore seen. The animal seemed to be quite fearless, and the inquisitive di­ vine approaehed it for a closer inspec­ tion. He didn’t stay long, however, but he hurried right back to his camp, where he buried his clothing, took a bath, and in other ways tried to rid himself of the odor of his “porcupine." The animal was a pretty little black and white fellow without any quills.

The government of the nation as few other things, calls for fair treatment and re­ spect on the part of citizens; public attacks upon it, avert suspiciousness of its acts and motives, beget disloyalty and lower among the people civic vir­ tue, the life-blood of national life and security. “Catholics have in the past suffered much from calumy and distrust: and in their defense their appeal has been to fair play and to honest Judgment.

Some of the greatest statesmen of the country have advocated the pos­ session of Cuba as a necessity to this country. Jefferson said that the “United States ought to have Cuba to round out its possessions.” Gen. Lee said that when it came to the construe tion of a canal across the Isthmus of Panama the possession of Cuba is necessary to the United States. Gen. Fitzhugh I^e was appointed as U. S. Consul to Cuba by President Cleveland, some time before the latter’s term of office expired. Some time af­ ter his arrival on the island Gen. Lee reported that the Cubans would not drive the Spaniards from the island, and that the Spaniards could not sub­ due the Cubans; that war would go on until some government would inter­ fere. The Spainards had something over 200,000 soldiers on the island while the Cubans had.about 40,000 men in arms in the field. The latter conducted a guerilla warfare, Gomez ordering the Cubans to fire three shots and then run, which order was generally obeyed. When Gen. Lee arrived In Cuba Geu. WeyLer, better known as -“Butcher Weykr, was in command, and was,the cause of considerable trouble. Ln Cuba, under the Spanish Captain Genera), everyone was “supposed to be guilty until he could prove him&df innocent.” Weyler would arrest Americans and threw them in prison, but they were generally released upon demand of the Consul General, unices they were taken on some valid charge. Gen. Lee’s descriptfoa of the reconcentrado camps was most vivid and I caused a shudder to rum through the 1 large audience present. He said that WED VtRIY SUDDENLY SENATOR JAMES McMILLAN SUC­ CUMBS TO HEART TROUBLE. At Detroit public funeral services will be held this afternoon, with Rev. Dr. Barr of the Jefferson Avenue Pres­ byterian church officiating. Magnate, Politician and Statesman. Senator Since 1888. Senator James McMillan, the senior member from Michigan, died suddenly Sunday morning at Eagle Head, his country home on the shore of the At­ lantic ocean, near Manchester, Mass. His death was entirely unexpected. Saturday he was in his usual robust health. In the morning, in company with spme friends he enjoyed a game of golf and later had a drive alopg the beautiful epuotry roads near Eagle Head with them. He retired about Up. m. apparently At as well as he had been in years. midnight he was taken suddenly ill, and considerable alarm was felt for him. At four o’clock in the morning the Senator seemed to be resting easier, when suddenly he was taken with a sinking spell and in a few moments he liad ceased to breathe. Hon. James McMillan was born in Hamilton, Ont., May 13, 1838, and came to Detroit at the age of 16,.clerk­ ing In a hardware store for two years and then becoming purchasing agent for the Detroit & Milwaukee railroad.

Just as truly as the gathering of filth from the city in the “sewerage veins en­ dangers the lives of the Inhabitants, go the poisons generated by the bodily metabolism, collected in the excretory organs, will Jeopardise the Ilves ofthe millions of inhabitants of the body— the living cells. Every action of mus­ cle or of nerve Is accompanied by tho destruction of cells which If not elim­ inated will accumulate like clinkers. Aside from the mere “choking of the flues" we must bear in mind that the body Is constantly generating poisons which if eliminated freely will do no barm, but 'which If retained will be productive of disease. Such a poison is uric acid, which is charged justly jvlth causing rheumatism, gout con­ stant headaches, dizziness and a train of other symptoms, and it must be seen that if the accumulation of refuse is the cause of such conditions the log­ ical means of cure Is its elimination. Other “products of metabolism" create their own types of disease, and all may be prevented by the free use of water.

All directors who have not secured teachers and all teachers who have not secured schools are requested to call at the office of the Commissioner of Schools on Saturday, August 30. If not convenient to come in person, call up by telephone. Superintendent of Public Instruction Delos Fall announces that the exam­ inations in reading for the year begin­ ning September 1, 1902, will be based on the following selections: October, 1902, “The Deserted Village." Gold­ smith; March, 1903, “The Vision of Sir Launfaul." Lowell; June, 1903, “Se­ same" of “Sesame and Lilies," Ruskin. The examinations in Theory and Art will be based upon the Manual and Course of Study and upon “Tompkin’s School Management” of the Reading Circle Course. For October and March ten questions will be prepared from the Institute Outline for 1902 and the Manual and Course of Study. Reports received indicate that a very large percentage of the 133 graduates from the rural schools last June will be enrolled in some higher institution of learning the coming year. An accurate report will be given later on. The voters in District No. 11, Johns­ town, commonly known as the Bur­ roughs school have decided to disband.

Forty-three candidates for certificates appeared before the board of examiners Thursday and Friday. Twenty-three wrote the third grade subjects, nine­ teen the second grade and one the first grade. The certificates of award for perfect attendance and punctuality will be used again this year. Teachers will re­ ceive a supply in time for distribution at the close of the first month.

This examination bad proved that, alter the application of liquid asphaltum to tbe cavities of the bead and body, the whole had been wrapped carefully In many envelopes or bandages of linen prepared with wax. The committee of chemists decided further, after a care­ ful examination and analysis of the hieroglyphic paintings with which the casings, etc., are covered* that tbe col­ ora employed and still retaining their vivid brightuoirt had also been pre­ pared and applied with the same sub­ stance. “1 also know that towaal the close of the last century the Antiquarian Society of England bad been permitted to open and examine the stone coffin deposited In one of the vaults of West­ minster abbey and said to contain the body of King Edward 1.. who died In Joly, 1307. On removing the stone lid of the coffin Its contents were found to bo closely enveloped In a strong lin­ en cloth, waxed.

The question of marketing these agricul­ tural products, amounting In the Unit­ ed States to fl.OOO.OCd.OUO annually, on terms that the dealer can afford to pay and the grower to accept often reduces Itself to a question of cheap and quick delivery—tn other words, to a question of economical transportation. It has been shown by mathematical demonstration that it costs more | to move a bushel of wheat or a ton of bay ten miles over the average coun­ try ronds of the United States than to transport the same burden 500 m^es by railway or 2,000 miles by steathship. It has happened many times in different parts of the country that farmers hare let crops go to waste be­ cause the cost of hauling them to the nearest market or rail-fray shipping point over wretched and Hl kept roads amounted to more than could be real­ ised for them afterward, whereas If good roads on which heavy loads could be hauled lind been at band the same crops could have been marketed at a small profit ty the producer, while the economic gain resulting from their ap­ plication to useful purposes would have been very considerable. t It bk ph ■r E IV Pl I® ?l 0 •S Brick failing 100 feet from a stack being built at the sugar factory at Caro struck Ed Bishop on the head, fractur­ ing the skull. lie may recover. t Scrofula, salt rheum, erysipelas and other distressing eruptive diseases yield quickly and permanently to the efamsing, purifying power of Burdock Blood Bitters. ’ George'Morton, living north and east of Camden, killed himself by taking parts green last week.

Many stories have been told In the past tending to show that wild ani­ mals, when in trouble, will display surprising confidence In man—In fact, will often seek his assistance when sore beset The writer when n boy on a. farm In Minnesota bad an expe­ rience with a field mouse which illus­ trates this trait in wild creatures. It was stacking time,’ and the men were all busy in the fields lifting the shocks of cured grain and stacking them Id hive shaped stacks In the barnyard. : The boy had been following the Wagons in the field all the morning in a yaln endeavor to capture some field mice to take home as pets. He hud seen a number of the drab little creatures.' with their short tails, but had failed to lay his -hands upon any of them, owing to tbe thick stubble and the nimbleness of the mice. At last, as a particularly large shock was lifted, a broken nest was disclosed, and the youthful mouser was put upon the qul vtve by the slender squeaks of seven hairless little beings that were so young as not to have opened their eyes as yet.

THE ONLY DURABLE WALL COATING Kalsomines are temporary, rot, rub off and scale. In the matter of permanent road Im­ provement New Jersey has taken a leading part Having In what is called the metropolitan regions, the sections within forty miles of New York and Philadelphia, many growing cities and towns, the conditions were such as to compel attention and demand a solu­ tion. After much dlacuaaiou the pres* eht state law was finally enacted and, with slight changes, has remained on the statute book for nearly ten years. In accordance with the provisions of thia law permanent roads have been constructed and are petitioned for in many counties of the state, says a writer in the Good Roads Magazine. "But," It will be remarked, “do not such roads get out of repair and are they not then harder on horse and wagon and traveler than dirt roads?” Off course al! good things that are used will show wear, and a stone road will be used far more than it waa before it was improved. People will go out of their way in order to enjoy the com­ fort of it This is especially the case In winter, when parallel roads are cov­ ered with mud. Then, too, the strain Is the greatest for the sharpened calks of the horses' shoes tear up the surface more than at other times, and on hills, especially where heavy loads are drawn, this will be particularly notice­ able. But after all is said, the road is far better than any dirt road could pos­ sibly be under the same usage. If this heavy wear is allowed to continue sev­ eral years, the road will begin to be somewhat rough, and of course travel over it will not be quite so pleasant The cost of repair will then seem to be quite an item. But we do not let or­ dinary roads go without repairs; much less should we withhold care from them after they are Improved. The law provides that the contractor shall keep the road In repair one year after its completion, and a percentage of the cost Is withheld to insure compliance with this condition. Tho first winter will very likely show the weak places. If any should appear, and the hollows that form must be filled and the Bar- SMALL POX and other disease germs are nurtured and diseases dissem­ inated by wall paper. <3 ALABASTINE should be used in renovating and disinfecting all walls.

Those who have eaten the food it is intended to manu­ facture, all pronounce it fully as good as any made. Battle Creek has become noted as a . health food center. To one not famil­ iar with the true conditions it would appear that the business was overdone, but we are told that tbe factories gt Battle Creek are running night and day, and that the total output will not any more than supply tbe demand for Michigan.

Kathleen smiled as she passed through the room. “Juliet always wears white and vio­ let when somebody Is going to propose to her," she sold to Jerry as she joined him oa the veranda of the log camping house. "It’s so fetching with her vio­ let eye« and hair. I’ve seen her wear the combination just three times to the last month. It makes her look remark­ ably young and innocent, doesn’t It?’ Jerry toughed. "I should say so! She can make twenty-five show for seventeen better than any one I ever saw. But does she always refuse her offers, doesn’t she ever accept anybody? Just for a little while, you know!” "No, but she refuses toen so ten­ derly, so tentatively that they hardly She would love realize it at fii t. them so dearly, ; iu know, but for that blush at it." “Mr. Barnard”—she spoke with a chill composure of tone, although ths ! hand to hto trembled—“you are strangely deceiving yourself.

Ob, believe that, Mr. Barnard. Is It not the sad­ dest thing to the world to go through life with an Ideal that can never be realized?* He was watching her narrowly. “No; It to not the saddest thing. It would be sadder if you could never •love without meeting that Ideal. But Sou can. 1 am far from perfect, but I are swear that you will be my wife— my ,very loving wife. And I will tell you on my side, Juliet, why this will be so—because I will not take- ‘No* for an answer. Don’t speak yet! I will not take ‘No” for an answer, though you should say it ten, twenty thousand times. Whatever you say shall mean ‘Yes’ to me.” He rose to his feet and drew her to him. She looked, at him dazed, yet un­ resisting. He put his arm around her and kissed her on the mouth. “Say ‘No* to me now, my sweetheart. If you can!” “Oh,” she sighed as they walked back tn the camp an hour later, "it to what I had dreamed—to be taken to spite of myself. I did not dare to think—to hope—that you would."

This from Kathleen, with a questioning glance at Juliet and Bar­ nard. “Oh, you dear thtogsf’ as they smiled assent to her. “Let me congrat­ ulate you.” “I’ve won my bet,” said Jerry, rising and shaking Barnard's hand heartily. “I bet against Kathleen that Juliet “MX.

Tbe floor is of two thicknesses of boards laid so as to break Joints, and there to no frame whatever.

XV. Pacific Farmer. ■ Secretary of Agriculture Wilson In a recent address before tbe National Live Stock association urged tbe mem­ bers to grow more sugar beets for stock feeding. This advice has been given In [this department and strongly urged, but tbe stockmen do not take kindly to the use of root crops because most of them Impart an objectionable flavor to thc butter. This, however, is not the case with sugar beeA. and they should be grown for the purpose by all dairy" men whose soil will produce them at‘ a low cost In localities where sugar Is made from tbe beets It! Is possible to buy the byproduct at a low price, and it can be fed to stock with considerable profit. Unfortunately many feeders have an Idea that If they feed root crops to stock It is In order to reduce some of the other rations, and such feeders are always very much set against roots.

Why are the democrats so eternally silent about It? Only six yean ago they claimed free and unlimited coinage of silver was the only thing that could save this country and the people from ruination; they claimed that tbe price of silver and the price of wheat were linked together in some mysterious manner and that when the price of silver was affected, wheat would be al* so affected. This was in 1896 when there was no foreign demand for our flour, and when four years of demo* cratic timeshad destroyed any home demand. Prices were low and busi­ ness was paralyzed, when the demo­ cratic party took its stand on tbe free silver coinage question—an ideal time to spring such an issue. The people of this country very sensibly intrusted the reins of government to the republican party under the magnificent leadership of William McKinley. No sooner had he been inaugurated and his policies put in force, than conditions began to improve. No such prosperous times have ever been known In the history of the country. In fact they have been so prosperous that the democratic party dare not stand on its platform of only six yeara ago. Is such a shifting party worthy of being intrusted with power? abouTIhFTrusts [Cootinued from pace L] been conferred It would be high! y tut­ desirable to attempt too muem or to begin by stringent legislation. | » NEW AND SECOND HAND ' : ■ i B ■ j ntoui : • , SCHOOL BOOKS AH I*tent medicines adver­ tised in this paper for sale by ternoon.

Magazine.) cost of bad roads and the benefit of good roads, to demonstrate the interest of cities and towns and tho owners of property of all kinds wherever situated in the Improvement of country roads, to develop the methods whereby all of these Interests may co-operate with the farmers In the wotk of road im­ provement to discover what actual and systematic road Improvement Is being carried on In any part of the United States and how the same or modified methods may be applied to other sections, to discover road mate­ rials in various sections of the country, to discuss new plnns for road construc­ tion and encourage experiment In this direction and finally to actually con­ struct sample roads. Probably the most Interesting phase of the work has been found, however, In tho construction of specimen roads of various kinds in different parts of the country. Ordinarily three styles of road have been represented In this ex­ perimental road—a modern macadam, a sand and a dirt road. Of these three the macadam highway is tbe most in­ teresting from tbe point of construc­ tion. After a uniform grade has been secured by the use of wheeled scrap­ ers, drag scrapers and plows and pos­ sibly road graders as well there are placed upon this foundation three sep­ arate layers of the best quality of stone that Is procurable in the vicinity. The foundation course, which Is about five inches In thickness and made up of two and a half Inch stone. Is thor­ oughly rolled before the second course, composed of one and a half Inch stone, is put on, and this layer In turn Is sprinkled and rolled before the surface layer, or ••binder,” as it Is commonly called, consisting of three-quarter Inch stone and dust Is put in place. The sand road is fonifed by placing six inches of river sand on a bed of natural clay, neither the bed nor the surface of the road being rolled. Tbe dirt road Is made by grading In the usual manner. As a rule neither of these latter classes of highways Is con­ structed save to demonstrate the superiority of the macadam road. Cdnslderable attention has been given to the construct Ion of steel track wagon Valdez was re­ roads, decidedly the most novel typo of highway yet introduced In any coun­ try. The steel road might be compared to a street car track of modified design, and the plan for Its utilization was doubtless suggested by the well known tendency of teamsters to make use of urban and Interurban trolley and cable lines on highways where, locomotion would otherwise be difficult The steel track wagon road consists of two parallel liner of steel plates or rails each eight Inches In width and hot supported on wooden crossties, but simply made solid in lhe road by flanges projecting Into1 the concrete of the roadbed. Tbe rails are accurately spaced so u« to receive the wheels of all vehicles of standard gauge without regard to the width of tire, and each Ungs 83.40 03.60: taJr to good butcher plate or rail Is fitted with a flange on shMP, 83.15C3.60; culls to common. the inner, side to prevent wheels from 81 7602.75.

I handle a largo flock of pheas­ ants and generally mate In pairs In the early spring and keep tliem In ■mall parks 10 by 15 feet, with wire Inclosure cage, sides and top. I use parks because pheasants do not r* quire any housing; for protection and shade 1 plant a lot of evergreens or most any brush in tbe park. These birds, being of very hardy constitu­ tion. will stand almost any kind of weather and will not take shelter at any time and will stand any climate. Diseasea ao common among chickens, as roup, etc., have never yet occurred in my flock. In July 1 change cock birds which have not been used in the. breeding pens that season with the hens, causing every egg to be fertile to the last one laid. Pheasants are very tame and intelligent with their keeper and always ready to be called. A pheasant hen lays about sixty to sixty-five eggs in,a season, commenc­ ing in May, till September. They make their nests on the ground. Their feed should be principally cut clover.ground feed and heavy white oats. They are very poor mothers at best in confine­ ment They do not seem to have much maternal love for their young. There­ fore to raise these birds 1 use com­ mon chicken hens. Pheasants hatch within twenty two days, excepting sil­ ver, which hatch in twenty-eight days. Now, the most important point in rais­ ing pheasants is to rid the sitting hen of lice and red mites while hatching, for which I use a lice powder which Is very effective. The first three or four weeks 1 feed hard boiled eggs, dry breadcrumbs and patent game food, about one egg to eight young dally, and give them free range. I never touch them with । my hands, always using fork or spoon, and place their coop near lawn or clover patch or lettuce garden. Greens and grass are as much the staff for young pheasants as is bread for man. I use large, airy dry goods boxes for coops and place them in shady spots or plant fresh cut brush about for the first three days. I place a yard three feet square around the coop in order for them to get used to their mother’s call and not wander off. Pheasants when hatched are very strong and live­ ly and ready to eat at once. I feed principally dry breadcrumbs the first day. I claim nothing but lice kills young pheasants. They are easy to< raise and stand any kind of climate. I raised 75 per cent last year, and most of the birds were raised In August. When five weeks old, I feed a variety of grain. Pheasants are very small feeders. Feed for ten head of fowl is enough for thirty pheasants. They grow and feather very fast, size of quail when four weeks old, and have their full plumage and long tail when five months old, which changes every year more brilliant and beautiful. An important point is to give lots of brush to roost on and shelter from the north. They cannot stand roosting on damp grounds. When eight to ten weeks old, I cage them in two Inch mesh poultry wire, and all danger Is past. They are as hardy as geese. If you are a lover of birds, try to raise pheasants. You will find it a great pleasure, besides being a very profitable industry.

After having a number of lines suggested, he finally selected the following: “The light of my life has gone out" A short time afterward the widower fell in love with a very charming girl, to whom he became engaged. He in­ tended to leave town, returning on the day of the wedding, and before he went off instructed the mason to alter the epitaph so that the feelimra of his pros­ pective bride would not be hurt. This the mason promised to do, and when the widower returned he visited the grave at once, finding that the mown had been true to hie word, the epitaph now appearing: “The light of my life has gone out, but I have struck another match."-Philadelphia Times.

Designs are small-pin points aud inter­ laced lines much in evidence. The art of the best maker is to keep these silks In solid effects. One . or two scissor clippings on bodice and skirt outlined in a plain silk are the telling touches. No one of taste thinks of having such a gown ape tbe fashion of those she wears in the afternoon. Very decided distinctions have come to be observed. The American woman is learning that to dress showily morning, noon and night, carryiijg her fortune on her back figuratively, results: in barring her out where her ambitions most are centered. < .

Upon white linens em­ broideries and laces are in ecru and ocher tones ks well as pearl white and rream white, while the light aud deep shades of embroidery in pinks, blues, mauvre and greens produce upon a white ground very charming effects, and in embroidery a-jour also.

For all we know policemen may do It too. People who talk In their sleep are fa­ miliar to all of ua. Experiments made by Speir, Armstrong and Child on 200 college students of both sexes showed that 47 per cent of tbe men and 37 per cent of the women talked In their sleep. A number of things might be proved by these statistics. Of these sleep talkers one-half of the women and one-third of the men are able to answer questions while asleep. More women than men could answer ques­ tions on any subject, not alone that of phich they had been talking. It baa also been found that most sleep talk­ ers are under twenty-five years of age. Evidently, then, wltli the muscles and organs of the body all working, It is the brain only that sleeps, and by no means all of the brain. The senses of sight, hearing, touch, smell and taste may be very much awake while the subject sleeps.

DrHanii?. •. i'b-artmaster for the occa- could and would continue to give our party their confidence and support The pessimistic element of the country would always find a congenial home in the democracy. Those who looked to the future with hope, confident that the country bad yet a more splendid history to write, would act in the pres ent with the parly of progress whose assurance for the future did not con­ sist of empty promisee and inconsistent attitudes on great iwuee, as did those of the democracy, but which solicited the continued confidence of the American people because of its splendid record in the past, and because at the present time It was right on the question of our day. Referring to state issues, Mr. Powers urged that those who could re­ call the democratic squawbuck legisla­ ture, what it did and failed to do, should hesitate long before turning Michigan over to such a crowd again. Mr. Powers’ address was well received and liberally applauded. In a few appropriate words. Congress­ man Hamilton introduced Hon. W. W. Wedemeyer, of Ann Arbor, one of the brightest young men In the state, and one who is bound to be heard from in the future. Mr. Wedemeyer’s theme was “Young Men and the Republican Party.” At the outset he stated that when the Spanish war broke out the democratic press, and the democratic party generally were denouncing Presi­ dent McKinley and the republican par­ ty because war was not declared at once. The same men are now denounc­ ing the republican party because the war waa commenced. Returning to his subject be said there would always be two great parties in this country, stand­ ing for principles well defined, and young men should ally themselves with one of these great parties, because they cam accomplish nothing by remaining outside. We are not living in the past, but young men should study the past history of the republican party, study the conditions of the present, and decide for themselves which party Is re­ sponsible for the prosperity and prog ress of our country. The best friend of the republican party is not the man who defends every act of his party, right or wrong, but the man who, see ing wrongs, bravely points them out. In no other way can reforms be accoin plished. He was not one of those afraid to trust the people with power; he believed in the people sayina what platforms they should, have. He did not believe in one dictating to thous­ ands, but iu the thousands telling the one what to do, and this could be best accomplished by direct vote of the peo­ ple. The future rests with the young men and will be what they make it. We must be students of events and never let otir partisanship rise above patriotism. In introducing Congressman. Wm. Alden Smith, his colleague in the na tioual legislathre, Congressman Hamil­ ton indulged in a little good natured joking, which the former, having the • last say,” repaid in kind to the amuse­ ment of the audience, no one enjoying it more than the genial Congressman from this district. I Congressman Smith s theme was "The Future of the Republican party.” and it is needless to add that his tribute was a most elo­ quent and glowing one. He compli­ mented the otlicera of the Club both for the splendid success of the meeting and the good sense displayed in having a dinner prepared and served by the ladies of the community. Continuing he said that the republican party need not be afraid of criticism, that the saf­ est advisors are those that honestly think and act for themselves. There is always opposition. There was oppo sition to the purchase of Louisiana, but today the great heart of the repub­ lic beats within the confines of that purchase. Today the democratic party has no issue upon which it dare face the country. Their real issue is free trade, and if they get votes enough in Congress they will attempt to hammer our tariff laws to pieces. The demo­ crats say we are oppressed. ho is oppressed? A year ago the democratic party was saying that men would lose employment by reason of trusts, but today a far greater number of P«o|>lt! are employed than ever before. The country is more prosperous than ever before, and since McKinley’s first elec­ tion the farmers have paid off over 8300,000.000 of mortgages. " hat has become of free silver? W here a Aguinaldo? What’s become of Imper ialism? They have all gone into the oblivion that has seemingly swallowed up the democratic party. Congress man smith closed his speech with an eloquent defense of the soldier boys, no matter where they may be. __ The meeting closed with great en­ thusiasm and was pronounced by me speakers, as well as all who were pres­ ent, as being one of the finest they had ever attended.

Emily, be­ loved wife of D. R. McElwain and mother of J. E., and Mary McElwain, of ibis city, and John M. McElwain, of Lansing. Emily Evans was bom in Cattarangas Co., New York, June 1st, 1836, and was brought to Pennfleld, Calhoun Co., by her parents when an infant. Her education was the best offered by the schools of that early day. In 1856 she came lo Hastings as a teacher in school. One year later on Feb. 17th, she was married to Delos R. McElwain. Seven children were bom to them, three of whom died in child­ hood, while the second son. Arthur, passed away suddenly bn J une 25th of the present year. The last time she was able to leave her home, was when she was carried to see “her boy” as he lay amid the wealth of flowers which loving hands had placed about his cas­ ket couch. For more than a year the dread disease canAr had been eating her life away. The shock of the death of the stalwart son, who had made it a rule to come often into her presence with a cheerv word and loving interest, was a terrible one to her enfeebled vi­ tality. But with a sweetness of spirit which was a characteristic of her nature she sunk her own suffering and grief in solicitude for those about her. While her sublime faith and unfaltering trust drere an inspiration to all. These sus­ tained her to the last. Her care and anxiety were all for "her family and friends. She talked of her going away as calmly and aa easily as one would of an anticipated journey. She requested that no more sadness or mourning should characterise her funeral service than necessary. No crape on the door, no sad funeral hymns. But rather songs of rejoicing and of triumph. . Thus ceased on earth a beautiful life. A life full of unselfishness, of charity for others faults, and of constant effort to add to the world’s stock of happiness. Her influence has not been confined to her own city, in work for temperance and social purity, she made an exten­ sive acquaintance through the state. Now she rests from her labors. But the influence of such a life lived among us shall abide, and her memory cherish­ ed as something precious. WHOLE NO.24.te. BHTI8 OBEY LAWS OR THE WARDEN ’LL GET YOU IF YOU DQN’T LOOK OUT. A Deputy Game Warden Made Local Hunters Tremble Sunday but Found IjntMag Sunday Deputy Game Warden Pal­ mer, of Buchanan, came to this city to find out whether the game laws were being observed or not. He found 12 or 15 men who were out hunting, but for­ tunately for them, not a one of them bad any game on their persons which it was against the law to kill. The Dep­ uty stopped them pll, and searched them for game but found nothing. ’ The Deputy requested the Banner to say that he came here in answer to letters from certain parties, stating that the laws were being violated. He stat­ ed that he would keep a man in this vicinity all the time,If he had to, to see that the laws were lived up to. Mr. Palmer said that there was a tendency in all parts of the state to observe the game laws more strictly, and that peo­ ple generally were endorsing the work of the State Game Warden’s office. The laws are being more faithfully ex­ ecuted for the reason that more depu­ ties have been secured than in the past, and it is possible to cover the field more thoroughly. The Deputy said that as the hunting season would soon be here it would be manifestly unjust to allow certain ones to repeatedly break the laws and go un­ punished, while others who had proper regard for the laws, observed it by waiting for the open season. As far as the State Game Warden’s office is con­ cerned, everything possible will be done to compel observance of the closed sea­ son, and all violators will be punished. People who violate the game laws do so willfully, and will have no one to blame but themselves if they are caught, as they surely will be, if they continue to violate the laws. M. C. Excursions.

The Journal’s Article Far from Fact* By omitting a portion of the order misstating a portion, and drawing upon his imagination for the remainder, the Journal editor managed to fill up con J siderable space last week in regard ta rural mail boxes. Incidentally some advice which was unsought, was very freely offered, both to postmasters and carriers, who were advised to not strictly observe orders from the depart­ ment Order No. 739, dated July 9th, 1908. and a portion of which the Journal quotes, reads as follows: Ordered: -That in all rural free d«livery service alablUhed on and after Oct. let, 1002, these requirements ehall be observed. Then follows specifications as to ma­ terial, size of boxes, etc. But by omit' ting the first paragraph of the order the Journal convicts itself of trying to make “much ado about nothing.’* What the Journal states will only re­ fer to rural routes which will be started on Oct. 1st, and all routes established after that date. The Journal states that the new or­ der pertaining to rural free delivery boxes “reached all postmasters last week.” This is absolutely untinb, and no order in harmony with the Journal’s statements has yet reached the local postoffice, and we bad so informed the senior editor previous to the appearauce of his paper. As far as anything that has yet been received the rural service is still working under the old order requiring patrons to secure one o£ 14 approved boxes. XUnder date of Sept. 9th, 1901, Hon, A. W. Machen, Gen. Supt. of Rural Free Mail Delivery, addressed the writ­ er the following letter: “The route inspector who recently visited your office reports that a num­ ber of boxes belonging to the patrons on rural routes from your office, are poor and unsafe and have been con­ demned. Owners of condemned boxes, when erecting new ones will be re­ quired to put up those which have been approved by the Postmaster Gen­ eral and which are enumerated on the enclosed card.” Ln November of last year the follow­ ing letter was received from Hon. W, B. Gaitree, District Supervisor of Rural Free Mail Delivery, in reply to a letter written him in regard to mail boxes; Marietta, Ohio, Nov. 7th, HOL Mr. W. R. Cook, P. M^ Hastings, Mich. . Sin—In reply to yours of Nov. 4th. I say that since May 1st mail cannot ba received or collected from any box ex­ cept one of the fourteen makes apRroved by the Post Office department, a st of which is herewith enclosed. If, however, the route was in operation prior to that date (meaning May IsQ and a patron has a secure and water­ proof box, it may be allowed to stand; but subsequent to then, no mail can ba delivered or collected from any but ona of the approved boxes, no matter if they are made from the same pattern by local tinsmiths or other parties. Respectfully, W. B. Gaitree, District Supervisor. The government hasn't yet acquired the habit of giving orders just for fun. Neither does it talk just for the pur­ pose of hearing its head roar. When it says anything It generally means what it says. When an order is received, it is generally a pretty good rule to ob­ serve it, just as closely as it can be ob­ served. When a letter from headq uartera says that mail cannot be received or collected from any box, except one of the 14 approved kinds, it means that neither Mr. Curtis nor Mr. Lichty. th a Route carriers, are to take mail from any box that has not been approved, and they will act the part of wisdom it they heed instructions. n*F« article, whi of truth, was the at they are told to do. The BairnnX idea of the Injustice of requiring oas of 14 kinds of boxes to be used had that they would be perfectly willing to carry mail to all who have the kinds of boxes required. But neither they, no? here for the purpose of duty u> the very best ana they are doing it. For information rei Cte �t tMl — Hastings Banner. M 7:41, arriv* leave Niles at fctt; arriv* at COOK.

The practice of kissing the bands was Instituted by the early Rcxnan rulers as a mark ot subjection as much M one of respret, and under the first Cresnr the custom was kept up, but only for a time. These worthies conceived the idea that the proper homage due to their exalted station called for less familiar modes of obeisance, so the privilege of kissing the emperor’s hand was re­ served aa a special mark of condescen­ sion or distinction for officers of high rank. No such restriction, however, was placed on the emperors themselves, who, if they wished to confer signal honor on any ef their subjects. kissed hither the mouths or the eyes of those they wished specially to favor, the kiss generally intimating some promotion or personal satisfaction for some achievement Roman fathers considered the prac­ tice of kissing of so delicate a nature that they never kissed their wives in the presence of their daughters. Then, too, only the nearest relatives were allowed to kiss their kindred of the gentler wx on the mouth, for in those days, as now, kissing was not a mere arbitrary sign, but it was the spontaneous language of the affections, especially that of love. Under the Romans If a lover kissed V8 betrothed before marriage she In­ herited half of his worldly goods in the event of his death before the marriage ceremony, ond if she died her heritage descended to her nearest relatives. A PANTHER’S DEN. It waa my good fortune to discover the newly abandoned lair of a cougar family and further and to me new evidence of that fastidious cleanliness which Is a marked characteristic of the animat Tills retreat was not at all the typical “panther’s den” of tradi­ tion, but a bush grown harborage un­ der the edge of a rock with just enough of shelf to keep off the rain. I should not have found this breeding place but for a certain well gnawed array of bones scattered over a little smooth bench above a creek channel. From this boneyard there was a very tracea­ ble path leading through grass and brush to the retreat where the dam had boused her young. The evidence here told plainly of the cougar’s long immunity from annoyance and attack and of a thoroughly cleanly habit of life. There was no bone or other sign of feasting about the lair. The dam had carried her kill to the creek bench in every instance, and the children Lad been called to the dining room,- As bones which would have been crunch­ ed or eaten by grown animals had been perfectly cleaned by the kits I was able to Judge of their summer’s diet This bad consisted mostly of minor gome, rabbits, marmots, grouse and the like, with an occasional small deer.

When the new tin plate factories now building are com­ pleted, the independent tin plate mills will have a larger output than the trust Competition will level prices In due time. There was a time when the robber trust the first of the Independent trusts formed in this country* which was organized In 1894, controlled 96 par cent of the rubber foot wear in this cauntry. There waa the usual floating of watered securities, the usual abitrary and uncalled-for raise of prices. What waa the result? Today there are more independent than trait mills making rubber footwear, and prices are fixed by competition and not by trust mag­ nates. I The people will have to submit a little while until the industrial trusts will have all the competition they can handle. Arbitrary interference with the laws of trade can go about so far. In the end the people who suffer most are the purchasers of watered stocks. The reaction from the arbifray and un­ reasonably high prices, fixed by trusts, builds up competition which In time carries prices to a level as much below normal as the arbitrary prices were aboveit But the worst trusts of all are those with which the tariff has nothing to do, and whose operations lead to control of natural products whose supply is lim­ ited, such aa petroleum and anthracite coal, neither of which ia protected by a tariff. That there are great and glaring evils in trusts as they are now operat­ ed in this country is without question. They should be controlled by national authorityjuid compelled to respect the rights of the people. But to attempt to carry out the dem­ ocratic suggestion of reaching trust evils by overthrowing our protective system will be foolish, since trusts ex­ ist in free trade countries aa well as in the United States, and the worst of all trusts in this country are not affected by the tariff in the least. Those whose memories go back to 1893-*97 ought not to want any more tariff tinkering. The Warning Unheeded. The warning to the democratic party .of Ohio given by the Cincinnati En­ quirer, evidentally was not heeded by Tom Johnson, the leader of the demo­ cratic party in that state.

WHEAT. The average estimated yield per acre in the southern counties is 17 bushels, in the central counties 20 bushels, in the northern counties 19 bushels and in the state 18 bushels. The quality of wheat is poor this year, although that which was stacked or put in the barn and threshed later seems to be in better condition than that which was threshed out of the shock. The quality in the southern counties as compared with an average, is 78, in the central counties 87, in the northern counties 96 and in the state 84. The per cent of wheat of the crop of 1901, still in farmer’s hands is, in the southern counties 7, in the central counties 5, in the northern counties 5, and in the state 6. The total number of bushels of wheat reported marketed by farmers in August at the flouring mills Is 494,701. and at the elevators 131,579, or a total of 626,280 bushels, which is 267,954 more than reported marketed in the same month last year. Of this whole amount 544,537 bushels were marketed in the southern four tiers of counties, 60,619 bushels in the central counties, and 21,124 bushels in the northern counties.

John Bussell, a gentleman some time member of the household of Humphrey Duke of Gloster, was perhaps one of the first to”give in bls "Book of Na­ ture" (1401) Instructions as to tho lay­ ing of tables. The cloths were to be creaselcss, not with the appearance of having been lain upon; knives were not to be wiped on the cloth. Apparently there were scanty articles of practical use for the guests at that time, but etiquette and elaborate rules came to on the subject of carving and serving various pieces, which It was seemly to choose for.this or that guest. The “upper crust of tbe loaf was for the lord;” also tbe wing of a capon. Among Indigestible and undesirable things were “fat. sinews, hair, skin, feathers, beads, pinions, legs and out­ sides of thighs.” Tbe different expres­ sions, such as "taking off” the leg of a capon, "pulling" another bird’s wing, etCra are not without intention and most practical indeed. Some of the works on' the subject, with their well designed plates show­ ing the sections for carving where the knife should travel, might still be stud­ ied by modern hosts or their carvers, and yet tbe result would be guodqulte as correct as our methods, which, like all the rest, are not new. Charles Stewart, a British lawyer, published a volume of reminiscences and tn It tells two stories about Tenny­ son, whom he found self conscious and accessible to flattery. “A little niece of mine,” he relates, “was one day standing beside bls chair. He lifted bcr up and placed her on his knee for half a minute, and then be put her down, saying, ’Now yon can say yon have sat on Tennyson's knee.’ ” On another occasion Tennyson was Jowett’s guest at the Master’s Lodge, Ba Hol, with a few other men, and aft­ er some good talk the poet had retired early to his room. Next morning at breakfast Tennyson was in a .silent mood, bnrias the men were rising from the table he said: “Jowett, after I left you last night I wrote a few verses. I am not sure that I have ever done any­ thing better. I will read them tpiyou.” Jowett preparing to go off for bis day's work, replied hastily: "Oh. no; thank you. Tennyson. I’ve no time for that sort of thing jpst now. lam very busy.” Aa grown up folks are divided on the question of what Is proper and what is not proper to do on the Sabbath, per­ haps two little girls, neighbors in West Elghty-secoud street may be forgiven for a mild dispute overheard one recent Bunday afternoon. Both little maids were freshly dressed and were evident­ ly out upon the steps for a breath of air after their dinners. The younger one, full of the Joy of living, was work­ ing off some of her youthful spirit by walking up one side of the stone steps and down tbe other. “Oh, you oughtn’t to do that on Sun­ day. It isn’t right, and your mamma won’t like It That’s what they call breaking the Sabbath," said the older one. about twelve years old. She was standing still and looking very re­ proachfully at her companion. “Wen, I don’t care. What's a girl te do outdoors Sunday?” petulantly asked the little girt “Why, nothing, of course. Just stand around."—New York Poet Arett, Statements of H.stin„ One of the recent safety eqotpmeaf of the fast mall trains, which at aity M.et a high rate <rf »P«e* through the night, is the electric searchlight A number of engines on Lib leading roads have been supplied iritt rack powerful ““g1*****?*** object, on tbe track ran b» s«3> ««b ly ■ mile away on tbe darkeet tHshts. A small dyanmo in the engine supplies the light and the lamp itself is so ar ranged that the fireman can operate K from his position in tbe cab to suit the needs of the moment It was found, says a writer In Harper's Weekly, that a permanent light attached to the smokestack, as the old time reflectors were, would cast Its path of light off the track instead of on it when round­ ing curses. The fireman can now touch a lever and throw the light straight ahead, sideways or up In the air. Tbe largest of these locomotive search­ lights are 6.000 candle power, which, compared to the old time reflectors, are remarkable products of the age. The fast rnnil trains travel over tho ground so rapidly that an ordinary headlight casting a reflection 400 or )00 feet is practically of little use. It might reveal to tbe engineer trouble ahead, but It could never help to avert ihe accident. The engineer might be able to shut off steam and apply the brakes, but by that time the engine would be upon the object. It Is almost impossible for one of the fast trains to come to a dead stop much inside of 1,200 to 1,500 feet and the heavier and faster the train the greater length of time must elap-ne before a stop can be effected. Consequently the old head­ lights were of little real value to trains running fifty and sixty miles an hour. With the new powerful electric search­ light however, danger ahead can be seen to ample time for the engineer to bring his heavy train to a dead halt As a safety equipment of tbe record breaking trains the searchlight has thus become a necessity of tbe day. Ubi Bis Wltkeat a Step. The Pennsylvania railroad has had ft run made from Pittsburg to New York. 438 miles, without a stop. This Is the longeut run of a passenger train on record. In order to accomplish this feat It was necessary for the locomo­ tive to curry an extra supply of coal, and this was done by enlarging the lo­ comotive tender. The exploring party from the Univer­ sity of California which has been spending some time in the Humboldt mountains between Lovelocks and Mill City. Nev., has been remarkably suc­ cessful. Ten large boxes of limestone block have been received at the univer­ sity. which represent more specimens of the Nevadan ichthyosaurus than are to be found altogether in the museums of the world. The fossils have been sent to the university Imbedded in the stone, and it will take from six months to a year to chisel them out of their matrix and prepare them for further study. The men who made the collection were Vance C. Osmont, instructor In crystallography, and Chung Yu Wang, a Chinese postgraduate student In geol­ ogy. The two left Berkeley a short time ago and joined a party from Leland Stanford university which was In charge of Professor James Perrin Smith In search of ammonites of the triable period. The University of Cali­ fornia men found their specimens in tho middle trlassic. The university has. sent another ex­ pedition to Shasta county to continue the search for other saurian remains which was begun last year. Professor Merriam. V. C. Osmonit W. T. Shaller and Eustace Furlong compose the par­ ty, and they will return al>out Aug. 1, bringing. It is hoped, material which will connect the Nevada saurian re­ mains with vertebrates of an earlier formation. The money for the present expedition has been supplied by a wo­ man from Oakland who Is Interested to paleontological research.

A Klug once asked a Sage what books ba had studied In order to become wise. ‘‘Sire.'’ replied tbe Sage. “no books at alt Wisdom cannot be learned In that way. I have always made it a practice to think well on every subject I under­ take. and then I do each in the best possible way. That la how I have been able to acquire what little wisdom I possess."

The summer tabte, as Indeed the ta­ ble at any season of tbe year, should be personified daintiness. If one little thing is amiss on a hot day, how easily It will mar an appetite, while cooling quiet and a prettily set table will often make one. Tbe butter should always be served with a bft of ice. Silver and glass ware should be bright and spar­ kling, the water in'the glasses should be Ice cold, and everything; that can be ‘done to deceive hot humanity into thinking Itself cooler should find means of accomplishment Many people have summer houses or may be refurnishing their rooms. Let me suggest to them that nothing Is more refreshing or restful to the eye than a summer dlnlhg room finished in green. Green matting on the floor, ei­ ther light or dark green cartridge pa­ per on tbe wails or a paper of. white background with a green pattern, deli­ cate in its traceries and design, will lend the same graceful shade to the room that nature’s leafy green does under the blue sky outside. Let the white muslin curtains at the windows be short ones, looped high. Even a va­ lance curtain Is graceful in summer, as It admits of more fresh air when the shutters in the absence of sunshine can be opened to allow entrance to the fitful breeses. Dinner, , the'one formal meal of the day, should be at night Id summer al­ ways, preferably so at aD seasons to most people, but even for those who from choice or necessity have a winter midday dinner it seems an absurdity to keep to this household habit when all humanity wilts beneath a burning sun. When the brightness of the western sky says its gopdby to the sun and the faint breath of evening stirs the grass, all mankind feels more like partaking of a formal meal served at a formal table. But even with this hearty meal of the day. while in number of courses it may correspond with the dinner of cool weather time, its simplicity should j take the form of quality of food, not in absence of quantity-light soups, sub­ , stantlal meats and vegetables—but less pastry and hot desserts. Fruits served ■ in abundant ways, cooling custards, whipped cream, the many Ices or deli­ cate gelatin desserts are equally pala­ table and more nutritious. As all summer food has to go more than half way to meet the average ap­ petite, so temptingness should be its chief characteristic.—Table Talk. □». DONM.D MCdCnALD Tbe SpecUiut i. Coning.

She was asked if the plan worked well, and if it was economical. “It has its advantages and disadvan­ tages,” she replied. “Whether -it ia economical or not depends somewhat on tbe style in which a person is ac­ customed to live; whether one keeps servants or not for instance. But considering merely what is furnished it certainly is economical. “We are able to get better dishes at lower cost than if we set a separate table. The plan enables us to buy at wholesale and we reap the advantages. “Take the matter of roasts, as a point of illustration. A good roast of meat is not an economical thing for a small family to buy. You cannot get a good roast unless it weighs several pounds, and the small family finds on its hands a large remnant, not all of which can be well utilized, no matter how clever the housewife is in planning, “By this method we get twenty­ pound roasts, and of coume we get tbe best.

It was found to India, too, and it was ginned (the seed and fiber separated) by the women. Tbe ginner sat on a tow stool before a flat stone. She rolled a long round stone or roller of iron over the flat stone, using her feet to turn tbe roller. With one hand she put the rough cotton under the stone and with the other she threw the seeds out in front, occasionally using one hand to pull the clean fiber from the roller and throw it to a heap at her side. The method was very crude, and one Woman accomplished but little during a day. but the correct principle was used oven then.

EDITORIAL NOTE! t,11 ation of President Roosevelt in 1904. I The country is satisfied with him. A strong county and legislative ticket vas that put up by the republicans of larry bounty last week. Every candilate is worthy of republican support. I If one were to judge by the Michi­ gan democratic platform, he would conclude that, so far as the democracy b concerned^there are no natural issues. Ind he wouldn't be far from the truth. The State tax levied this year is 81,• COu.OOO less that that levied In 1901 Barry county’s portion of state tax this year is 837.25.3 while it was 838,460 last year. This decrease of 25 per cent will be welcome news to taxpayers. General Alger claims to have assur­ ance® that enough republican candi­ dates for the legislature have already been nominated who are favorable to the oandldacy for the U. S. Senate to Insure his selection for that position. If the voter is satisfied with these lime® and wishes for their continuance, he should In Michigan vote for republi­ can congressman, sad republican mem­ bers of the legislature, who will have the choosing of a United States senator to succeed the lata Senator McMillan. The trust question, so far as it af­ fects manufactured goods will largely settle itself. The high prices charged by the trusts for their goods encour­ ages the building of outside competi­ tive factories. The consumers patron­ ize the outsiders by preference. As soon as production shall overtake the enormous consumption of manufac­ tured goods in this country, then com­ petition will level prices to a point[as much lower as the trust pieces were above the normal. The independent steel mills In this country will, injtwo years, have a larger production than the steel trust; the Independent tin plate mills now building willjhave a larger capacity than the tin-plate trust; the independent rubber factor­ ies are today producing more goods than the rubber trust—and so we might go through the list of tnwtsjn manufactured goods. Trusts that af­ fect products of nature, such as coal and petroleum can better control prices because controlling the sources of supply they can fix prices. With these trusts in nature’s products the tariff has nothing to do. With trusts in manufactured articles the tariff stimulates the building of competitive factories, and so helps the consumer. The wise way to deal with trusts is not to rip up our whole tariff iystem^and Clover” rhyme well but the people long since have found the real difference be­ tween theories and facts. ’Tis true many articles of consumption have in­ creased In price but the farmers prod­ uct® have also Increased in value.

Heartrending Scenes at Last Rites of Church Stampede Victims. Birmingham, Sept 22.—A gloom has been cast over the entire com­ munity as the people begin to realize the enormity of Friday night’s ap­ palling disaster at Shiloh Baptist church. One hundred and ten dead had been counted and ninety of these have been identified. The injured ne­ groes are being cared for at various hospitals and private residences. Sunday was a day of funerals in Birmingham, the remains of thirty­ eight victims of the panic in Shllon dhurch being interred In the various cemeteries for negroes around th# city. All the negro churches were crowd­ ed, and the naturally excitable nature of the southern negro was wrought a high pitch by the eulogistic sermons over the dead bodies at the various churches.

During the interview with the offi­ cers who followed Young’s admission of his identity, he is said to have made a confession regarding the crime. The exact nature of this confession was not made public. It was said that Young had spoken of an accomplice, but one of the officers, when ques­ tioned about this, replied: “If you say simply that a confes­ sion has been made you will tell toe whole story.” From another apparently reliable source, however, came the Informa­ tion that Young did say that he *hat* an accomplice.

It was noon I when he went on board. • Looking fit and fresh, the president entered his carriage shortly after 3:30 o’clock for the tour of the city. Every corner, every tree, every housetop, ev­ ery window was teeming with all kinds of humanity. The sun wm pour­ ing down a few July rays, and here and there a couple of bands were hold Ing an endurance contest with each other. The marine escort swung Inl-> line, the presidential carriages wen off. Till the reviewing stand was reached it was just one long shout leaping from throat to throat and echoing from street to street The parade in Itself was an im­ mense success. The procession incluJed probably about 5,000 men, and :< finer looking lot of men could npt have been found anywhere. In -the reviewing stand, which the president reached after two and a halt hours in his carriage, he looked sterb and a trifle tired, but when an unlucky band began to get mixed up with brigade during the march past, he laughed as heartily and as undis guisedly as might be. Division after division filed past, the president re mainlng standing and removing hid hat every time “old glory" wm low­ ered in front of him. It was almost 7 o’clock when the last salute wm made and the presi dent dMbed off for his hotel to tek* another nap before the evening’s work began. President Roosevdlt delivered blnself of a masterly and significant speech last night at the banquet ten­ dered him by the Spanish war* vet erans.

The last weekly crop report to be issued this season states that the cloudy weather and excessive rainfall ot the past week has delayed all field work and damaged outstanding crops.

Late potatoes on light soil have been improved but most of the crop Indi­ cates light yields, blight and much rot­ ting Is reported. Buckwheat is mostly cut and secured and threshers returns show good yields. The present eon dition of late apples indicates at least an average crop.

The rush proper was of shorter duration and less furious than that of former years, the freshmen gathering about and holding the cannon.

Professor Dainetz of the Berlin uni­ versity, who has devoted considerable time to the study of the fragrant sub­ ject, says that the population of an ordinary cheese when a few weeks old Is greater than the number of per­ sons upon the earth. From a micro­ scopic examination of a soft variety of cheese he obtained the following statistics: In fifteen grains of cheese, when perfectly fresh, from 90.000 to 140,000 mlcHbes were found, and when the cheese was seventy days old the population had Increased to 8,000,000 In each fifteen grains. An examina­ tion of a denser cheese at twenty-five days old proved It to contain 1.200,000 In each gram and when forty-five days old 2.000.000 in the same particle.

The hens lay In the spring and autumn, one bird producing thirty eggs yearly* which are hatched by other hens. Tbe tails of tbe cocks are cut to allow of their walking freely, and theli lives are a little longer than that of ths hen. The tall feathers are not kept wound up, but are always allowed to hang free. When they touch the ground in the cage, a bamboo is put a little way back, so as to. form an arch. The birds sit al! day on a fiat perch three inches wide and are only taken out once In two days and allowed tc walk for half an hour or so. a man holding their tails to prevent them from getting torn or soiled. Twice a month they are washed In hot water. They like plenty of water and are won­ derfully tame. The thing that is most wanted by all who keep chickens Is something to make bens lay In winter.

H tbe former art* not looked after, tbs whole beauty of the place Is spoiled.. A good plan to to have inexpensive flowet gardens in tbe back yard and let tba children attend to them. This will nd only help to beautify tbe town, but will pe fun for the little ones and teach them things about flowers and plants that will prove of value to them. Do not make the mistake of select­ ing plants difficult to manage. Choose tbe hardier sorts—those which have tbe reputation of being able to take due of themselves pretty well. Keep tbe soil open about them. If this to done, you may have a very good sub­ stitute for tbe garden which possibly you have seen growing under more fa­ vorable conditions. Encourage tbs children to work tn it dally. Flowers are safe companions. The women's auxiliary of the Manu­ facturers' association of Kansas City has undertaken a new effort in the dlr rectlon of making that dty a good place to live In, says the Kansas City Star. Tbe members of the auxiliary propose to interest school children in' a crusade to adorn the back yards, windows and lawns with growing flowers. They have secured the co­ operation of tbe school board to tbe extent that tbe schoolteachers may be used as an Instrument to carry out the desired end. The teachers will se cure tbe names of the pupils in the primary grades who will pledge them­ selves to plant the seed and care for tbe plants. Packages of seed will be distributed among tbe school children at the nomi­ nal price of a cent a package. Special prizes will be offered for the premises showing the best Improvement as tbe result of tbe children's effort! fn flori­ culture. In cases where the premises are too small to afford ground space for the cultivation of tbe flowers prizes will lie given for window boxes show­ ing the prettiest flowers. It may be that the plan will work out to such an extent that an exhibition of the flowers grown by tbe school chil­ dren can be made In some of the school­ rooms soon after tbe opening of school next fa 11. The members of tbe auxiliary are actively at work perfecting tbe de­ tails of this scheme. They expect to have tbe seeds ready for distribution within a very short time, as soon as it would be expedient to begin flower cnl ture. Special attention will be given to downtown districts, with a view to putting a little touch of nature in tbe gloomy corners where squalor and filth now predominate; but. while the pri­ mary object to to make the bare and forbidding parts of tbe city blossom, yet the movement will be carried out tn all its details in all parts of the city where school children can be Interested in the new project The plan has been successfully work- • ed on a large scale In a number of cit­ ies In the country of much less popula- ' tion than Kanaas City. Tbe nnnual flower show at Convention ; ball has aroused a widespread Interest in the growth of flue flowers and plants, and . 'the movement now begun by tbe wornen’s auxiliary will take the Interest to circles that would scarcely feel compe­ tent to enter tbe lists for competition in the more elaborate mission of tbe big flower show. Some of the seeds that will be dis-' tri I >uted by the auxiliary are those of ’ flowers a cd plants that were so famll-' lar In more or less rural districts ten ' or a dozen years ago. The list includes balsatu. towheiora* buttons, calendula, ealliopsls. California poppies, four o'clock*, marigold, morning glories, pe­ tunias. terltenas and many other va­ rieties. !

After disfranchising 3000 old>oldiera in the National Soldiers Home in Hampton, Virginia, how can northern democrats have the cheek to solicit Votes from union veterans. Those who have faith in President Roosevelt should turn out on election f and sustain him by voting for re­ publican congressmen. He is entitled to have the support of a republican congress. When old soldiers are appealed to by northern democratic candidates for Congress, it may be well to ask the lat­ ter how it was that the democrats [dis­ franchised 3000 old soldiers in the Na­ tional Soldiers Home in Hampton, Vir­ ginia. If tbe democratic party lovee tbe old soldier so dearly, why does it disfranchise them when it can? ■ St There were trusts when Grover Cleveland and the democratic party Was In' power, and yet nothing was aver done to curb their power. It should not be forgotten that the only anti trust law on the statute books was passed by republicans, and the republi­ can party is the only party that has en­ Li '8 tered suit in the Federal' courtsjjin or­ der to curb the power of trusts. It is said that President Roosevelt is already convinced that the people of this country desire tariff revision, but that they want the revision to be made by tbe friends and not the^ opponents of our protective tariff system.

The mine owners refused to treat with the Miners Union in any way, but insisted upon their legal rights, Ignor­ ing public necessity entirely, and even going so far as to insult the President, because he had not called out troops to protect the mines and non-union miners, which the President had no right to do. What the outcome will be no one can tilt The production of anthracite coal is practically in the bands of six person* all railroad presidents. Their action in refusing to arbitrate the mat­ ter in the face of a coal’famine, will lead to measures, which will certainly guar­ antee future protection to the people. In the present crisis the President is powerless to act until appealed to by the Governor of Pennsylvania, in which state the anthracite fields are located.

Traverse City, Mich., Oct 13.—Sys­ tematic search Is being made for three boys of prominent families, who went hunting Saturday add are believed to I have been drowned. They were Jack Corbett, aged fifteen, son of the late Judge R. L. Corbett, who was killed while deer hunting three years ago; Glenn Morgan, aged fourteen, son of M. D. Morgan, member of the board of public works, and Elliott Ashmun, the son of a. well-known family. The boys went hunting and about 2 o’clock are known to have embarked in a sailboat on the bay. The sea be­ came rough and the boys have not been seen since. The boat was found partially filled with water yesterday morning on the shore, and in the after­ noon a coat, recognised as owned by Corbett, was washed ashore. It Is believed the boat became un­ manageable and capsized. The bodies were probably carried out by the cur­ rent or sunk. Dragging the bay has so far failed to discover them. z6, 190*. ■■■ ail Stuffed Up otn the eaire to ‘J day.” MBOBQf -Ital of id pays NT. E you. meh one euse The les. re. $.

Wonder how tbe democratic party can appeal to the vote, of old soldiers, after disfranchising 3,000 old soldiers in, the National Soldiers* home in Hamp­ ton, Virginia? The democratic party is still a tarifffor-revenne-only . party, but It dare not make much of a splurge in advocating their pet doctrine, because the people haven’t forgotten the years of 1892-96. The republican nominees for county office are competent, capable men, Worthy of their party’s support. A vote for them is a vote for faithful ser­ vice and an economical administration •f affairs. Labor statistics and business condi­ tions generally are not such as would make very good democratic campaign thunder. That poor party Is left high and dry without an issue, or even the ■Miblanoe of one. it The calamity howler of 1896 said that the election of McKinley would lessen the volume of our money. The demo­ cratic party has always been famous for having things pan out just the op>oslte of what it predicted. New York will soon be the financial center of the world, if it to not now. The Journal in its last issue stated that Mr. C. L. Glasgow, of Nashville, is a “ring” candidate, and stated that the “Cook-Messer-French combine went to Nashville and Induced Glasgow to take the nominotion,” etc., and stated that be was the candidate of the Cook ring. The extravagant statements of tbe Journal are proverbial, but its editor seems to delight in. yelling about “ring.” As usual the statement of our contemporary is absolutely false and untruthful, and an injustice to Mr. Glasgow, who has tbe reputation of “paddling his own canoe.” What it pleases the Journal to call the “Cook ring” never solicited Mr. Glasgow to enter the race, either orally, by corres­ pondence, or through solicitation of others, nor did those whom the Jour­ nal mentioned know that Mr. Glasgow would consent to allow his name to be presented until after it was announced in Nashville. It seems just as easy for the Journal to ascribe everything to what it calls the “ring," as it is difficult for that paper to confine itself to tbe truth. The Journal article is false from start to finish. s was better employed than it is today? Do you over remember wken labor was better paid than it Is today? Do you ever remember when rates of interest were ever lower than they are today? Do you ever remember when people were more prosperous than they are to day? Are you going to vote for a “change,’,,' as so many people did in the prosperous times of lira, or are you going to vote to sustain the present national admin­ istration? Every man who thinks, and knows what he wants, should consider these questions, aud make up his mind how he will vote, fully realizing the importance of his action. Congressman Hamilton is rapidly forging his way to the front as a leader in Congress. Every term he serves makeshim more awful and valuable to the people of this district. The peo­ ple of Michigan have at last become aroused to the importance of electing good men to Congress just as long as they will consent to run. Following this course is what gave Iowa and and Maine such prominence in national legislation. No member of Congress has commanded closer attention, or won greater distinction through bis oratorical efforts, than has Congressman Hamilton. He is honest, safe, con­ servative, and a brilliant speaker, qual­ ities which combine to make an ideal official. The democratic party does a whole lot of talking about Trusts and com­ bines, but do you know of any iegiala tion that party ever enacted against them? It had a splendid chance when it had full control of national legisla­ tion under Grover Cleveland, but as usual it never accomplished anything. The only anti-Trust law ever passed was enacted by the republicans, and the republican party is the only party that ever entered suit in the Federal courts in order to curb the power of Trusts. The democratic party is very prolific in promisee of what it would do if it were only in power, but has firmly established a reputation of never doing anything when it is in power. Have you noticed that’during repub­ lican administrations, there is so much money on hand the republican Secre­ taries have to plan to get the money into circulation. Doubtless you will recollect that during tbe last democra­ tic administration the Secretary of the Treasury had to hustle to get money to pay current expenses. That’s the diff­ erence between the business methods of the two parties. The present generation hasn’t had an opportunity to have but one exper­ ience with the democratic party, in full control of national legislation. That was in the years from 1892 to 1896. Do you want some more of it? That party stands for the same things today it did then, only more so. You’re to blame if you monkey with tbe buzz saw a second time.

The business of squab raising is not extensively carried on,. yet there are people who devote their time to this occupation and derive from it satisfac­ tory returns. It' brings greater propor­ tionate gains than poultry keeping. The pigeon house should be kept as warm in winter and as cool in summer is possible. When squabs are raised (luring the winter, the temperature must be kept above the freezing point. It is advisable: to separate the sexes for two months during the year. This can be done either tn very cold weath­ er or at molting time, which comes In September and October. A little hemp seed during the molting season aids grently in putting on new feathers. It should always be kept on hand and fed at intervals during the year. It is a good tonic for the sick ones. Cracked corn is the best diet for breeders,’as it is fat producing and pro­ motes the rapid, growth of the squab. Whole corn should not be given to thotfe with young, a» the squabs can­ not easily digest it. and it often lodges In their necks. Neither should rye be fed to old or young ones, as it aets as an emetic. Doves are very fond of salt, but if given too much at one time without first becoming accustomed to it they will drink a good kupply of wa­ ter and then die. The female skips a day in laying her eggs. Therefore a close watch Should be kept of all nests and the first egg removed and replaced by a dummy or nest egg. As soon as the second one Is laid replace the first. This insures hatching both at the same time and giving each an equal chance for life, whereas If one batches a day or two before the other it gets the start and. being stronger, secures more than its share food.

Colonel Cobbs says: ”My force reached Erego this morn­ ing. When about one day’s march north of Mudug It was attacked In the thick bush. Two advances were made and the enemy was beaten back In the morning. Their losses were heavy and we captured 100 rifles. Our force then proceeded to collect animals for trans­ portation purposes and to join the de­ tachment at the stockade camp. In the afternoon a reconnaissance was made, and after sharp fighting the enemy wer6 again driven off. MI deeply regret to report the fol­ lowing casualties: Colonel Phillips and Captain Angus and fifty men killed and about one hundred men wounded. The latter Include Captain Howard and Lieutenant Everett, but both are doing well. There were se­ vere losses among tbe transport and tiding camels.

In a certain company of grown up and well educated people not long ago a prize of $10 was offered to any one who could give a brief description or even name tbe colors of fifteen differ­ ent national flags. Every member of the company tried to do It, and every one failed. Now. there is no particular advan­ tage in a practical way in being famil­ iar with the flags of all nations, but there Is satisfaction in knowing things, especially if they are things that the average person does not know. Is there a boy or girl among our readers, for example, that would not be glad to be able to Identify every national flag on sight? This pretty recess or homo game will help you to acquire this knowledge. Like most of tbe Instructive games, it requires some preparation. In all the large dictionaries and in many en­ cyclopedias and gazetteers may be found all the flags of the nations, print­ ed in colors, and they are usually print­ ed on a page all together. Let some one who has a box of water colons paint the flags on a sheet of white cardboard, putting a number under each flag instead of the name of the country. Then as many sheets of pa­ per should be prepared as there are persons to take part in the game, with numbers down tbe left hand margin of each sheet ’ When you are ready to play the game, give a sheet of paper to each player, tack tbe cardboard up in plain view and allow, say, half an hour's time for the players to write opposite to the numbers the naw tious ti ample. RussiaNo. 3. Italy, and so on. When the time limit has expired, let the leader of the game collect the pa­ pers and check them off by a key which he or she has for that purpose, and the player tLat has the most cor­ rect numbers wins the game. If the game is played at home, a prize may be offered—say. n small United States flag made of silk. It is not necessary that the flags should be drawn on the cardboard in n really artistic way, though the more neatly it be done tbe better. A*novel and instructive, collection Is that of bark, leaves and‘blossoms of trees. There are very few boys who have more than a passing acquaint­ ance with the trees growing in their own neighborhood. Most boys know a walnut tree when they see It, but if they were to take a walk through the woods and attempt to name tbe trees they would not go very far before dis­ covering their Ignorance. One way of learning the trees Is by collecting spec­ imens of bark, leaves end blossoms and studying them. Suppose you get some pasteboard or stout paper and cut it into sheets, say, eight Inches long and five wide. Give one sheet to each kind'of a tree and upon it paste a piece of the Lark, a leaf and a blossom. A piece of bark about three inches long and two inches wide would be of good size. The blossoms should be pressed and dried before they are attached to the sheet If the leaves are small, a used. If there is anything remarkable leaf should be placed �===== igs * two W«*1' Ttalt With their per Bai Oct. 13, 190*. Thttraday, ■ Miro Minnie Furnwa ot Middleville w*a a FMrt at Mra. JB. V.

The girls of the university will or­ ganize a Girls' Glee dub. The registration in the School of Music shows an increase of twentythree over a corresponding date last year. Pres. Angell represented the uuivereity at the inauguration of Pres. James, of Northwestern, Tuesday. The Ann Arbur High school defeat ed Charlotte High school in football last Saturday by a score of 12 to 0. The college city boys expect to win the state championship this fall. The ’Varsity football team met a tough proposition in Notre Dame at Toledo last Saturday, the score the first half being only 5 to 0. The final score of 23 to 0, is au indication of tbe strength of the two teams. Although football is the chief sub­ ject of conversation about the campus at present there are other interests which are receiving considerable atten­ tion. Work has already begun upon the debates, in which Michigan has achieved much success. The debate with Chicago Jan. 18, is upon the sub­ ject, “Resolved, That party candidates within the state should be nominated by direct vote of the parties.” The de­ bating team is chosen by a series of contests, the three best debaters of the several hundred who enter the prelim­ inaries, representing the university. !

Shot-Gun Prescriptions We suppose we are not revealing any trade secrets when we say that many medicines are made up on the principle of the so-called prescriptions ” “ shot-gun which were formerly somewhat in vogue. . The idea of the shot-gun pre­ scriptions was to put into a medi­ cine a large number of different drugs, each useful for different purposes, in the hope that some of them might hit the case. The most successful physicians we know use a more direct method. The medicine we sell over our own name and guarantee does the same. It This medicine is Called VinoL is the best thing we know for a run­ down condition, for nerve troubles, for lung troubles, for weak women, pale children, and old people — in Vet, it is a safe, pleasant, reliable ,4nic and reconstructor. It is not a scattering “shot-gun prezeription," but it goes straight to the mark, and has cured so Vany 4>eople right here in town, that it gives us confidence to sell it on an absolute guarantee, as follows; If you use a bottle and it does not help you, we’ll give ydu your money back ’without a word of complaint. We could not afford to guarantee it so boldly if we had not seen it succeed in ninety-eight out of every one hundred cases. W. H. GOODYEAR DNUCaiBT.

The U. S. Senate about 56 republicans and 82 demo crate.___________ __ We are sorry to see a break in the solid republican delegation from Mich­ igan; still eleven out of twelve is pretty good after all. _________ I The Democrats of North Carolina have permitted 5000 of the 100,000 col­ ored voters of that state to register this year. This is magnanimity from ajsource altogether unexpected. Owing to the brevity of this year’s campaign, Col. Bryan has not been able to spread over his usual amount of territory. He wants the’eampaign of 1904 to begin January 1 of that year. The Banner’s stand for righteous political methods id the republican party was endorsed by two republican county conventions this year. It was further vindicated by the increase of BOB in the republican majority in Barry County. ■___________ It will be in order for the Journal to explain how “ the Cook, Messer French ring” b.responsible for the increase of over 200 in the republican majority in this county. But our contemporary usually gets to feeling better after he has received hb bi-ennial drubbing. An Increase of 200 in the republican majority in Barry County as compared With 1900 shows that those who claim­ ed the Banner’s attitude toward Gov. Bliss would wreck the party in this county were mistaken. A fight for so righteous a principle as that for which the Banner contended strengthens a party________________ Political’parties are judged by their records. The Wilson tariff act was in operation 35 months, from Sept. 1, 1891 to J uly 24, 1897. It produced a defi­ ciency in the revenue^ Jof 9105,1 HO. 701 and by so doing largely augmented the business distress which resulted from a Want of confidence in the fiscal affairs of the government Daring a similar period, substantially, for the 35 months’ operation of the Dingley law, between July 24. 1897. and June 30, 1900, the latter tariff act produced a surplus in the revenues of over 957,000,000. 1 The fact that Gov. Bliss ran 30,000 behind his ticket shows that, in spite of the utterly demoralized and disor­ ganized condition of the democratic party in Michigan, ten per cent of the republican voters preferred to chance a democratic governor to voting for a candidate on their own ticket whose methods they condemned. We are glad to see this independence in the republi­ can party. Had there been an opposing party which was worthy of confidence; and had Judge Durand been able to ■tay on the ticket, Gov. Bliss would have been defeated. t if k: i!ew,'r 1 tKONmiani) JH 1 ion of flor.

Nuv. 13, 1902, its winter overcoat Tuesday and now Thursday, Only One Key That Fits We have found that nearly all the general medicines that are popular geek first’to promote appetite and help digestion, then to apply needed dements which almost all ailing people require. Probably iron is the most im­ portant of these needed dements, yet it is very hard to give iron so it will do any good. There are thousands of keys in the world — only one or two un­ lock your door. So we know of only one or two combinations of iron that seem to do the work. By far the most generally useful prescription we know of is Vinol. We mention this by name, because we know what it is made of, how it is made, and how wonderfully helpful it lias been in numerous cases in this very town. Vinol contains the medicinal qualities Of cod liver oil, iron-thatcan-be-digested, and a little table wine. It is pleasant to take, and we have so much faith in it that we will spll a bottle to anyone suffering from loss of appetite, a run-down condition, tendency to colds, or to weak women and pale children, etc., and cheerfully give you the money back if it docs not help you.

Broughton against the Thornapple Electric Com­ pany which has been pending in the Kent Circuit Court has been settled out of Court by the Electric Company’s agreeing to give Mr. Broughton 83,500 for the right of flowage, he retaining his farm* This case has aroused con­ siderable interest in this city, Involving as it does the city’s lighting supply. Mr. Broughton was represented by Thomas Sullivan, of this city, Hartley Hendricks, of Middleville, while John Carveth, of Grand Rapids, was one of the attorneys for the deiendant. Wednesday of last week a hobo tailor struck the city, and applied to H. F. Tegeler for work, which he readily re­ ceived. During the. day he resorted several times to “liquid refreshment” upon money borrowed of Mr. Tegeler. Some time during the night Mr. Tegelet’s shop was broken into and an over­ coat belonging to him was taken. Tbe tramp tailor and the overcoat disap­ peared about the same time, and neith­ er one has since been found. Officers in various places have been communi­ cated with, but no trace of the missing garment can be found. Another proof of the danger of over­ head eleciric wires waa made evident Saturday when the delivery horee of C. W. Clarke & Con becoming frightened at the C. K. & S. freight ran into a tele­ phone pole with such force that the telephone wire bounded and struck an electric light wire carrying 25,000 volts and burned out all the ’phones on the C. K. & S. line. Manager Kopf informs us that if any one having his feet on a register or other iron substance had been talking at one of the ’phones on the burned out circuit immediate elec­ trocution would have followed. As it was, luckily, no one was burdened with a desire to converse at that particular time and so no fatalities ensued. Harvey W. and France* L.

F* Bbooks A. Warner Alaska’s Border Stowes. Archibald Cameron, a road superin­ tendent In British Columbia, say* the line of Alaskan boundary monuments “alleged to have been discovered” are the mini of stone huts built by the In­ diana of the Interior. Hr. Cameron’s theory la that before the Russians established trading posts on the coast of Alaska the Indians of the interior and tbe Indians of tbe coast met on neutral ground about sixty -eight miles from the water, apd that stone huts were bailt along the neutral aone. These huta, according to Mr. Cameron’s statement, were used Ip common, year after year, by the trad­ ers, and these, he insists, are the so called monumentr. This statement is undoubtedly pub­ lished to discredit the report of Ameri­ can officers now in the hands of the State Department at Washington. Two years ^go when the Alaskan boundary controversy was attracting keen attention, a Russian official stated that. If the old monuments placed along the boundary lines by Russian surveyors in 1827 could be found, all question as to the location of the boundary would be located. It la a matter of record that, after the treaty of 1825 had been ratified, tbe Russian-American Fur company, inter­ ested in keeping the Hudson Bay Fur company from the Pacific coast, de­ manded the definite delimitation of British territory. A map was prepared by Russian engineers and accepted by (treat Britain, and forts were estab­ lished and monuments erected on the line to prevent disputes, and to pre­ vent the intrusion of the Hudson Bay company into Russian territory. The line marked by the monuments was recognized by the Indians as well as by the Russians and British. Eight­ een months ago it was reported that one of the old monuments had been discovered by Canadians and destroyed. This led to the organization of an American expedition to find the monu­ ments, and last August it was reported that Lieutenant Owens had found two of the monuments in good repair, had located the site of the monument de­ stroyed, and had found one of the old boundary forts. These monuments and forts were found to be on the boundary line fixed by the American surveyors. Later the report of the officers was sent to Wash­ ington and probably will be made pub­ lic at the opening of Congress In De­ cember. To discredit the report, the Canadians are bringing forward road superintendents, who, presumably, know as little about boundary ques­ tions as the ordinary citizen, to create the impression the monuments “alleged to have been discovered” are, after all, only stone huts. This is ignoring the statements of the Russian officials, the records bear­ ing on the boundary forts and monu­ ments, and the report of American officers showing that not only huts, but monuments, were discovered. It looks very much as if the Canadian officials knew they had lost their case. At all events, they admit that what purport to be monuments have been discovered, and they seem to be ready to say that, If any of these monuments were destroyed by Canadians, the latter believed them to be only huts.—Chicago Inter Ocean.

The production of “Was She to Blame,” given Saturday evening at the opera house was one of the best plays ever given in this city. Tbe play in itself was strongly written and in­ volved nothing but natural action in which the actors of this company ex­ celled. The audience was large and fully voiced the sentiments of the man­ ager of the company, who compliment­ ed Mr. Reid upon the extreme neatness and cleanliness of his opera house.

When picked up by the police he was placed in the jail until his son came to take him away.—Kalama­ zoo OaxeiUNcwt. 'Tuesday evening Wallace Green re­ ceived the sad news of the death of his wife in Denver, Colo., of consumption. Deceased left this city about two mouths ago for Denver. Colo., fa hopes of benefiting her health, but the di­ sease could not be staid, and she gradu­ ally grew weaker until the end came. A husband and two children, a daughter Ssd thirteen and a son aged nine, are t to mourn the loss of a loving wife and mother. The bereaved husband left for Denver, Colo., yesterday to at­ tend the funeral. Mra. Rachael, of Rutland, was se­ verely kicked in the face yesterday by a eolt. It seems that she went into a field near her home to catch a colt, aud when approaching him the animal wheeled and kicked her squarely on the right side of her face, cutting and bruis­ ing it badly. She was brought to thia city and her wounds werb areesed by Dr. Lathrop. It may be possible that she will lose the sight of her right eye, but it wm swollen up so badly that It could not be determined. Owing to her weakened condition it vm impovible to take her home after the wounds were dressed. Monday evening Mr. and Ma. J. li A petition has been circulated In Rutland township and numerously sign­ ed, asking that the road taxes for that township be paid in cash, rather than by the old fogy plan of allowing people to “work our their road taxes. The greoent system which bas always been i force in this state, has demonstrated beyond dispute that it is unfit and un­ satisfactory. Under It good roads are an impossibility. Those who do their so called road work meet once each year, swap stories, scrape all the loose sand and dirt to be found into the middle of the road, and leave tbe high­ ways in worse condition than when work was commenced. Within the past few years farmers have been aroused to the importance of good roads. They know that a good hard road cheapens the cost of hauling their produce to the market and adds to the value of every foot of laud in the township it pasae?. We are glad to kuow that the township of Rutland bas taken the first step in the direction of having road tax$s paid in cash,* and hope that other townships will follow her example. Having the cash to pay for the work, good roads jobs can be let out, and the work can be done RIGHT. The money paid out will all go back into the township and most of those who pay fa the cash can get employment and receive perhaps in wages what they paid out in taxes. Ten years time under such a system would see good roads in every town­ ship, and those who pay the money would be better off at the end of the time than they would by continuing the present non sensical system of allowing road taxes to be “worked out.” PERSONAL rtENTlON.

Each one of these men is the leader of a fac­ tion in the democratic party, and wants his pet hobby for a “paramount issue.” What kind of a platform will be the result in 19(M? What dependence^ can be placed upon a party that has such a cat-hauling in its own ranks. Edwin C. Madden, third assistant postmaster general, in his annual re­ port, made public Monday, recommends the establishment of the following new postage rates: A new rate at 4 cents a pound for all publications now admit­ ted to the second class mail, except daily, tri weekly, semi-weekly and week­ ly newspapers in the general under­ standing sense of the word “newspa­ per ” This rate is to be paid on the bulk weight without regard to the num­ ber of pieces, the same as now under -the pound rate. Tt is reported that In his forth-com­ ing message to Congress President Roosevelt will devote considerable space to tariff and trusts. A favorite catch phrase of the democratic party is that the “tariff is the mother of trusts,” ‘but this is known not to be true, and the Standard Oil Trust and the anthra?dte coal trust confirm the statement •that it is not true as there is no tariff on either. It would be nearer the truth to state that "prosperty is the mother of trusts." Does anyone want .

Thb bill will not only embody the best that has been framed on the anti trust question to data, but it will contain President Rooeevelt's own ideas on curbing trusts What rias It Done? The democratic press takes pleasure .seemingly ip referring to the republi­ can party as the “party of the rich,” hoping to arouse the prejudices of the laboring classes thereby. Though tierce at time in denunciation, the dem­ ocratic press is always at a loss to show what its party has done to benefit the laboring men of the country. For almost 60 years previous to 1861 the policies of the democratic party prevailed in the United States. In those 60 years the opposition to dem­ ocracy elected as president only John Quincy Adams, the elder Harrison and Zachary Taylor, but the democratic party at all times controlled one or both branches of Congress. What did democracy do in these 60 years? For a good portion of the time Its energies were used towards the extension of slavery, and in defending that institutution. There was no legislation to in­ crease manufacturing institutions, nothing to increase the home markets, nothing to furnish employment to labor or give it shorter hours, or noth­ ing in the way of giving our people homestead rights on the public do­ main. It was during these years that Toombs and other democratic leaders referred to free labor as the “mud sill of society.” During all of these years there was no legislation that would in any way benefit free labor, which was brought into repeated competition with slave labor. The work of the grand old republi. uninterrupted since, with one single soticaption, and that was whan Grover Cleveland and a democratic Congress and United States Senate waa elected > in 1882. Grover Cleveland took the oath of office in 1893 and held office four years. Those years were written in distress, poverty and want, such aa the young men of this generation had never before witnessed. The control of government was handed back to the republican party In 1897 and there is no need of speaking of the prosperity we have enjoyed since. But speaking of legislation enacted by the republican party which has benefitted laboring men, the first maar ure passed by It after coming into pow- Mn. O. C.

FARMERS When in Hastings tiood Times la the West, In the twelve months ended with last June more applications for home­ stead entries and claims for mineral and timber lands in the West Were received by the commissioner of the general | land office of the Interior Department than In any like period since the home­ stead law waa passed. This is indicative alike of the general prosperity of the country and of the growing desire of the people for landed property. The acquisition of Western land continues. There is tremendous migration In progress, from "kthe East and South, as well as from the middle West, to all points between the Missouri and the PacIfiCj but most especially to the Northwest. In the last fiscal year the government gave away to these people 19,488,530 acres or several millions acres more than were allotted to settlers in any single year since the homestead seekers began to pour into the West forty years ago. Of the total acreage disposed of in the last fiscal year 14,000,000 acres went to actual settlers. The rest was taken up as mining and timber lands. In the same period, the receipts for the Male of land too valuable to be turned over to homestead seekers were also greater than during any previous year. Aside from these evidences of growth, the West is developing even more wondrously in those regions which long have been regarded as entirely settled. The high prices for all farm products have enabled the farmers to improve their properties so that through Kansas, Nebraska, Minnesota and the Dakotas the homesteads now. have all the ap­ pearance of those to be found in the richest farming districts of Ohio, The hamlets, villages, towns and cities of the West all feel the new im­ pulse, and industries little noticed a decade aga are springing up and thriv­ ing everywhere. Money is plentiful and cheap, and the energies of the peo­ ple are stimulated by the knowledge that the home market, which is "Of It­ self sufficient to maintain good flmes, is protected by the Republican party and by the belief that that party Is as­ sured of an indefinite lease of power. ADDITIONAL LOCAL. Saturday evening Mrs. Wm. Todd eutertained about a dozen of her friends in a very delightful manner at her home on Park street, Light re­ freshments were a pleasing culmina­ tion of an enjoyable evening. Ye local had the opportunity yester­ day of eating a ripe olive which was brought from California by Mrs. Ellen Robinson. Olivee when ripe are of a nearly black color and have an extreme­ ly* delicious taste far surpassing the or­ dinary green olives. There will be no football game here next Saturday but the season will be closed Thanksgiving day with a game with Middleville on the fair grounds. Both teams are training hard and it is likely that the game will be close as Middleville will strongly reinforce her line up. The price will be twenty cents and it is hoped that a large crowd of rooters will be present to help the boys.

In ' ,tote, pQre food laws have been placed on the statute books. The committee recounted Ito effort, at Waahlngton for the extenalon o* rural tree delivery. Much haa been ac­ complished along thia line. The grange flattered ttaelt that It killed the ship aubaldy bUl In cougrew. Their adtocacy ot the Panama canal h..l borne trait. On the other hand, the grange was overridden In the irriga­ tion appropriation. Nothing was »•compH&hcd along the line of postal savings, restraining the trusts, grant ing additional power to the interMate commerce commlaalon nor the election of United States senators by popular vote, as advocated by the national grance last year. The radical report of the committee oh education submitted to the national grange In the afternoon has proven a bone of contention. Men Uke Nations Master Jones, D. W. Working of Cole ! rado, Walcott of Kentucky, and Prof. Atkeson of West Virginia are allied with the critics of the modern rural ■ school and agricultural college curricu-! lums. The comprehensive repor. strongly advocates centralized schools and the elimination of fads from pub­ lic school courses. When Chairman Walcott of Ken tucky read the report a distinct im preasion had been made upon the na­ tional body. George B. Horton of Michigan rose to oppose the centrali­ zation idea. He In torn was opposed by Thomas Mars of Berrien, and the discussion that followed snowed edu­ cation to be the theme of leading in terest. The report Is in part as fol­ lows: “Fundamentally, the grange stands for education, its chief business being to develop a higher and better man hood and womanhood among those reached by Its Influence. Directly, we represent half a million people, notone of; whom has too much education o( the right kind—the kind that leads to simplicity of life and genuine useful­ ness of effort. VThe management of our district schools is unwise—wasteful of the time and strength of children and 1 teachers; wasteful of money; wasteful of the very life of the country. Chil- 1 dren begin school life at the age of . six, and then spend two years making j the progress that could be made in a single year with children beginning it the age of seven. And this waste of time is not lhe worst thing that hap­ pens to the child; he learns to dislike school, gets Into the habit of doing in two hours the work that ought to be done In one, and so is permanently in­ jured. It is better for the six-year-old to make friends of robins, sqoirre.s and ladybugs than to pdur stupidly over primers and first books In num­ bers. “Agriculture furnishes problems In the broad field of sociology and In the narrower and hardly less Important field of economies of such farroaching and almost unthought-of importanc? that in these two sciences there is op­ portunity for the work of IttO men of first rate ablUty. Every science that contributes directly to agriculturechemistry, phyaics, biology. Zoology, botany—all these offer large scope for growth and for the mastery of natura’ forces that are to be put Into the ser­ vice of humanity. We want men. not mere narrow specialists, devoted to this or that particular science, without reference to its meaning in relation to men and their needs. We need more men of the heroic mold, men like Prof. Babcock of Wisconsin, who rreely gavo to agriculture a discovery ano an in­ vention which he could have turned l> his own account to the extent of milIlona of dollars.”____________ Two Paper Milla Burned.

Eaay to Grow-Pnlaien ea Plaat- One of the best ways to beautify n town and attract desirable residents if to plant flowers in public places. Then is usually ^plenty of space around tht town hail or other public buildings It which to make flower beds, and the) add 100 per cent to the beauty of the town. Much money Is wasted, however owing to the inexperience of those whe I do tile work and select the plants. 1 The nasturtium Is the most accommo dating of plants, making the best ol, any situation in which It finds Itself, i says the Philadelphia Ledgm*. In a box j ou a fencepoat or window ledge it will' droop and show its rich colors In gar j lands; backed by a range of chlckeo wire it will weave Itself in and out as a screen; given a brush heap, a pile ot rubbish or the level ground, and it-will make of it a mass of green and gor­ geous coloring. Its one purpose in liv ing is to perfect Its beautifully sculp­ tured seeds, and with this ambitloi: kept in check by cutting the blooms at they open, the plants will continue tc grow and to blossom from early sum­ mer until frost. No plant is easier tc grow, none is so patient under neglect and so responsive to good care. When sweet pens are to be sown out of doors in the spring, the soil must be prepared as early as it can be worked. Dig a trench about a foot wide and a foot deep and burn in it . enough brush to give an inch deep ot ashes. If this cannot be done, add about an inch of hardwood ashes. On this put three or four liiches of well rotted manure and cover with two or three Inches of soil. Pack this close, either by stamping or pounding. Cover with an eighth of an inch of bone dust then add two inches of soil, and on this sow the seeds thickly. Dust the seeds well with ground mustard to protect them from wireworms nnd mice and cover with an Inch of soil. Water well and then add another inch of. soil, packing the whole together by cover­ ing with a board and stepping on It. By having the plants about two inches apart and the food supply be­ low they will root deeply, and by keep­ ing the surface soil loose to serve as a mulch the ordinary rainfall will give moisture enough to carry the plants through even a period of drought un­ aided if the flowers are kept cut as they come to perfection. Surface root­ ing caused by watering, surface feed­ ing or letting flowers go to seed will all serve to shorten the blooming season. The outdoor sowing should not be until the weather is settled. If seed is sown In boxes indoors now, there will be plants of good size to get out when the weather is warm enough for working among them. The seeds ger­ minate quickly, nnd the first leaves, be­ ing of true form and good size, are at once a delight Nasturtium seeds may be put in au inch apart with two inches between the rows, and not • transplanted until moved to the garden or may be sown very thickly in rows and transferred to more roomy boxes aa soon as the seed leaves are un­ folded. For the ordinary garden an ounce of “choice mixture” will give a variety of the best kinds. To these should be • added a package of some of the new varieties. A package contains about a sixth of an ouuce. or about thirty seeds. Bought of a reliable seedsman, each package will probably average twenty plants. It is sometimes desirable to have a large plant to fill a comer or a row of them to hide a line fence or to break a view that is uot pieasiug or on a lawu to have a tropical effect without risking a valuable palm. For each of these purposes the rlcinus, or castor oil plant, serves admirably, it grows rapidly and, if the blossoms are m moved as they develop, will attain s very considerable height and remain sightly UMtll the very severe frosts. And the family has even more than all this ■ > recommend it Flies, mosqui­ toes. gnats and many other insects, it is said, do not like the plant and will nut remain near it "Windows with riclnus browing before them do not need fly screens.” says one housewife. Moles and mice will not burrow near its roots, and even rabbits avoid its vicinity. The plant is semitropical, and seeds should not be put In the ground out­ side until the weather is to be depend­ ed upon. The seeds germinate readily and may be started Indoors and the transplanting be without risk. Last year -seeds were started Indoors in April, and others were sown outside In May. when the plants of the first lot were being put out. In August both lots were in flower and with no ap­ parent difference tn size or develop­ ment. Cobcea scaudens is one of the most satisfactory of the annual climbers. It starts easily, has foliage that makes a good showing for both form and color, has tendril* that will cling and bold fast to whatever offers and In late summer and autumn will generally give a profusion of large, bell shaped flowers. The growth from a single seed last year, set at the corner of a story and a half cottage, climbed to the roof, then to the peak and bad started down the other side when frost called a halt, covering the corner and the edge of the roof with a mass of green fully two feet wide and covered with purple bells in the autumn. The marigold has the other name of caiendulal* It Is a garden favorite, easily grown and good either as grow­ ing or for cutting. The odor of the blooms is not pleasing, but is bealtnful, and Is named as a protective against hay fever and summer colds. HERPOLSH EIME RS Black Velvet Special.

Nov. 37, Thursday, *9°’' The Problem of a Tired Mother One of the marvels of our time is the way in which the average mother carries all the burdens of Social, benevolent, church and family life. It’s no wonder that nerve .troubles attack the mother — how can she help being nervous, especially while the little ones are so troublesome ? No woman can endure the strain of her housework and two or three little ones unless her digestive powers are unusually good. She can’t manufacture force enough to stand the strain. We can suggest one thing that will surely help her, and it isn’t a drug poison either. It is Vinol, made by a new process from that wonderful remedy, cod liver oil; it's a true tonic. Vinol is pleasant to taste, “ goes right to the spot.” nourishes and helps the food to nourish, is splen­ did for nursing mothers and all tired out home helpers. I have found it safe and good for ailing children. With Vinlax to correct the constipation, it has put whole families in this place on the road fo health. Used in time, it saves nervous break-down.

We have sold a few hundred packages and all we hear is praise. Do you want to know why they like it so? BtOMt to try Of all the' geese that the American standard of perfection speaks of only three breeds come up to the require­ ments of the farmer, who sees more than nny one else to the actual mar­ ket value of a bird. Toulouse, Emb-' dens and Africans are breeds that will do their best to bring an extra penny. They have the weight when matured that makes them desirable, the hardi­ ness that causes their eggs to batch well and their young to live and the meat qualities that are In demand In the city markets. To turn grass into hay is oue way of making money, but to let. geese turn grass Into- greenbacks is more protltable, because you have less competition when you sell and save all the weary hours Id the hayfield on hot summer days. Geese If mated correctly will do the money making themselves, so to •peak. The old goose is a good mother, and if you assltrt her in feeding the goslings for three weeks she is amply able to return In early fall a big flock of heavyweight youngsters. For best results people have advised to cross some of the above mentioned breeds, but this view I do not hold. A thor­ oughbred, be It horse, cow or goose. Is always worth more than a crossbred animal. Often the chance slips by to sell grew for breeding purpoees if you have crossbreeds In your fields. Do not confine geese unless you wish to force fattening, and even In this case It should not be longer than two weeks. Geese must have liberty and a grass run,to do tbelr best. The Emb­ dens are preferred by some on account of their white plumage, but as breed­ ing geese should never be plucked this advantage Is uot as valuable as It at first may appear. Tonlouse geese lay the most eggs,* Africans are the hardiest and Embdens have the best feathers. All are good, and none Is the best—Theodore F.

Fresh ground meat and bone is a very valuable constituent of the ration for egg production. In many localities, however. It la dimcult to procure readlly. and many who might get It do not have a bone eutter. On the other band, beef acnips and meat meal can be bought at any time and, being dry. can be readily mixed la with other feed atuffa. Tbe Went Virginia experiment atatlon baa compared the value of tbe two for egg production, with realm decidedly In favor of the green bow.

We pick out the very treat tom we can get, not alwaya tbe Urgent, but the beat In ahape. color and vigor, and we'are then sure to get plenty of site In the young stock. I like the tom best to have a well balanced body. He should not be all back behind tbe legs, which makes him tip too high to front Neither do 1 want them so much in front that they tip forward. Tbe tom should stand straight on bls legs and high ’enough that his back Is at an angle of 45 degrees. ■ He should not be straight on the back, as we often find them, but it should gradually rise from the base of tbe neck to tbe center, then make a gradual, rouqding decline to the tell. This makes a beautiful shaped back. He should have large bone and straight toes. Young birds have legs approaching black, the dark er the better. When they become yearUngs, It turns pink, and ths older the bird tbe lighter the color. The bronre color on the feathers should not be of the light copper color, but should .be a very dark bronze throughout, with clear white edging, with as little admix­ ture of brown or black ns possible. The white and black barring on the whig of the tom should run across tbe feath­ ers and tbe bars lie of an equal width, perhaps the white a little wider than the blnck^ but we should avoid the broad white barring, even though It is straight across. A torn mich as I have described should be mated to pullets as nearly perfect to color and shape as can be procured. We would not want them to weigh more than twenty pounds for best results. Tbe eggs will hatch stronger poults and more of them than will be the case If overgrown and fat birds are u»ed as breeders.—S. B. Johnston in American Poultry Journal. Goodyear Bros, SOLE AGENTS.

The French army was losing dally large numbers of men through the ravages of the cholera. Marshal Canrubert sent the order to I*rince Jerome that he should move his division to Varna. Jerome Is­ sued marching orders and added: “Seek out In every regiment all the actors, comedians, clowns, conjurers and en­ tertainers. I will personally arrange a performance and present prizes to the best entertainer.” During the whole of the retreat these perform­ ances took place for the edification of tbe division. Prince Jerome Is not famous for any remarkable military triumphs, but this one act must at least Ik- put to bls credit, for it was undoubtedly due to this method of -cheering up bis men that his division •could Imast a death roil at least three limes as small as that of any other.

An Iowa town that is attracting con­ siderable attention on account of its clean streets, well kept lawns ami neat public buildings was anything but at­ tractive two years ago. Tbe change for the better began Id 1891, when a village Improvement society was or­ ganized. The first work of tbe society was the holding of a fair to raise mom nt ey for lighting the streets and for oth­ er, village improvements. The fair was of GATA1 a great success. Lamps were purchas­ LUNG DI ed and put on tbe principal streets, and light took the place of darkness. The society numbers over 100 members and is a power for progress and improve­ ment Tbe annual membership does are $1 per year. Meetings are held monthly, or oftener. If necessary. The society is In a healthy condition and ready to push any movement for the Improvement of tbe village.

It will be observed also in all the islands of the sea where the American flag floats, and in whatever foreign country Amer­ icans may be gathered. Next to the Fourth of July it is distinctly the American institution, and because of its memories and associations, it is sec­ ond only to Christmas in the hearts of the American people. And have we anything for which to be thankful? Most of us have, for which the Lord be praised. If for nothing else we can be thankful we live in this country and age. This is a pretty good country to i live in, and when it comes to conven­ iences, comforts, facilities for enjoy­ ment and other things worth having, at no time in historyjhas it been more satisfying to be on earth. But then there are other things. We can give thanks for a high aver­ age of good health, for a surpassing degree of good times, and for bumper crops. If prices are somewhat altitudinous the abundance of employment and the upward tendency of,wages can be placed against it as off-sets and the praises may still be sung. It is not hard to And occasion for thanksgiving this year. It isn’t nearly as hard as it has been in other years that some of us can remember.

One is the paving of Main street, which I hope will be done in the spring. The other is the putting in of a couple of gates at the Michigan Avenue and Broadway M. C. crossings. This ought to be done now.” When seen in regard to the latter proposion, the city attorney said the gates could be ordered by the coun­ cil at any time it saw fit. This certain­ ly should be done, especially at the Michigan Ave. crossing, where the noise from the flour mill together with in­ tervening buildings which obstruct the view, render the crossing exceedingly dangerous. Since putting on the two fast New York trains the action sug­ gested is imperative. W. S. Atwood, of Fulton, Wia, who is an expert pearl hunter, was in the city tbe latter part of the week, pros­ pecting for pearls in the Thomapple river.. He failed to find any, however, on account of the peculiar condition of the soil, which prevents their growth. Mr. Atwood says that all along the northern part of the Mississippi river and oa many of its tributrades pearl hunting is an important and lucrative industry. Several pearls, worth upwardsfof 81,000 have been found, while jemsjvalued at 850 to 8100 are of com­ mon occurrence. There is also quite a Yankee Springs. H.

Soldier and Scout .-1 Thrill<. :.d True Nurratlvt of the Heroic Thursday morning November 27th, at the age of twenty-one years Mies Grace Fisher, daughter of Mr. and Mrs Byron Fisher, of Cressey. For more than a year she had been ill with con­ sumption and for the past few months had been confined to the house. Her death 1s keenly felt by the young peo­ ple with whom she was a great favor­ ite not only at home but in the sur­ rounding neighborhood. She was a member of the M. E. church and of the Sunday school, which she regularly at­ tended until illness prevented. She had long been organist and leader in the singing of the church services, as well as a faithful worker in all lines which led to a higher and better life. Hot’s was a beautiful character, modest and loving, and in their great bereavement the greatest sympathy is felt for the stricken parents. The funeral was held Saturday at 10:30 a. tn., the Rev. L. P. Richtmeyer. of Prairieville, assisted by the Rev. M. J. Brownell, of Delton, officiating. The remains were laid to reel in the family lot at Cressey. Women’s Club. The first meeting of the Club mark­ ed an increasing interest, judging by the large attendance of members, and additional pleasure and inspiration came from the many visitors who hon­ ored the club by their presence. A verse of America was sung with good effect, as the opening of the pro gram for the afternoon. Roll call was almost unanimously responded to by quotations of “What Men have said about Women.” It goes without say ing, that these quotations were exceed­ ingly complimentary. Reading the minutes of the two pre­ vious meetings was next iu order. There being no business to dispose of, the program w as at once taken up. The first paper by Mrs. M. J. Timmer­ man upon “Political, News” showed a careful reading and well selected epito­ me of the broad subject. Mrs. Mary Maynard followed with “Religious and Scientiflc’Intelligence” equally as in­ teresting and encouraging as the pre­ ceding paper. “Social Reforms” by Mrs. Phyllis Reynolds dealt principally on the “greatest one which so very re­ cently affected the relations of Capital and l*abor in America” and “which resuited in teaching a lesson to both factions,” and incidentally showing “the value of having in the Presidential Chair at Washington, a man who was instrumental in terminating the most remarkable dead lock in the History of the United States.*’ Mrs. Reynolds touched upon another Social Question, amelioration of laws concerning Child Labor, particularly engrossing the at­ tention of Southern Club Women, at the present lime. One cannot feel sur­ prise that some change is demanded, when one state alone. North Carolina.|with 38.632 cotton mill operatives, has 16JM0 women and 7598 children under 14 years of age, 4009 of the latter being little girls. The closing paper was interesting notesfupon “Music and Arts,” by Miss Gertrude Smith. Altogether, the “Cur­ rents Events” afternoon gave great sat­ isfaction. which was (enhanced still further by the beautiful song “In Dreamsjof Heaven,” by Mrs. Burch, with Mrs.] Troxel as accompanist. A social hour followed where conversa­ tion, coffee and crullers furnished an alliterative aid to a pleasant meeting. <>n<i Deeds of one vf . the bravent s.filers of the tTqr of Me Kcbdtion.

ISANKSOIVIK MME WON BY HASTINGS BY A SCORE OF 6 TO 0. Middleville Used Four Ringer* but Even then Couldn't Stand the Play and Forfeited Game. ’ The last football game of the season was played on the fair grounds last Thursday and although it resulted in a victory for the home team, it is to be regretted that the visitors felt com­ pelled to go.ontaide the county to get college players to beat our team and then, when defeat seemed imminent, withdrew from the game. Such play­ ing is clearly detrimental to clean ath­ letics and strengthens prejudice against a game which is just beginning to be popular in this vicinity. After considerable dispute as to the eligibility of the four Imported ringers, one of whom was from Olivet, the game was called at 2:45, Hastings playing her regular team. Hastings kicked to Middleville, who began a series of end runs which were easily blocked by Hastings' ends. Twice Middleville was held for downs on the home team’s five yard line and the ball changed hands. Twice Middleville was obliged to punt when near Has­ tings’ goal line. Each time the ball went down behind the goal and was brought out to the twenty-five yard line for a free kick. One noticeable feature of this half was that when the visitors had the ball it was given to none of the regular members, but was always carried by the four ringers. In the latter part of the half, by a bad decisiontof the referee, allowing Middle­ ville four downs when on the Hastings three yard line, the visitors were en­ abled to make a touchdown, which was allowed by the referee. She failed, however, to kick goal, and the score stood 5 to 0 at the end of the first half. In the second half, in order to coun­ teract the playing of Middleville’s four ringers, Hastings substituted four of her old players, and after that the work of Smith at full, Sbulters at center, J. Matthews at left tackle, and Jim Waters at right tackle, clearly told on the visitor's team. After a delay of about three minute, playing was begun and with It a triumphal march down the field for a touchdown, which was made after but eleven minutes play, Here Middleville, realizing herinability to hold the strengthened team of her opponents, withdrew from the game on the pretext that one of her men was too seriously injured to continue, al­ though there were four substitutes on the side lines who could have been DUUIBVUICS v»as> worked in. Middleville ’s MUVU action was followed by a decision of the referee.1 giving the game to Hastings by a score of 6 to 0. Then ensued a dispute over the prof ceeds, fiO per cent of which, according to previous agreement, were to be given the winners. As the net pro­ ceeds amounted to about $40. the losers’ share would be considerable. At first the local management decided to keep all the proceeds, because Middle­ ville had refused to finish the game. Finally, however, they decided to do the sportsmanlike thing and last Mon­ day they sent Middleville a check for their share of the proceeds. While it is to be regretted that the game ended in such an unsatisfactory manner, nevertheless the first part of the game pleasureably witnessed Zewas crowd ofZiewhTT; by a l-* w- v' ' the ~ plays, failed “ their enthusiasm to see ... to keep on the sidelines, but crowded onto the field, thus preventing oppor­ tunity for end plays. No lineup is given, on account of the outside players used by Middleville. The local team played the same men as usual. Sad DeathA report which caused universal gloom in this city not only on account of the esteem in which the young man was held but also because of the tragic circumstances involved, was the news of the death at Jackson of Charles Kurtz after a mouth’s struggle with a fatal attack of typhoid fever. Chas. B. Kurtz was bom in this city August 28th, 1881 and during the early part of his life attended the schools of this city. In 1899, when a member of the Junior class, be left school and went to WhkBHi where he acted as dark in the drug store of his uncle, Fred Kurtz. Later he went to Ada, Ohio, where he studied pharmacy and it was only last June that be received his degree of Ph. G. During the past summer he was employed as a pharmacist at Mackinac Island, and on his return in the early autumn, exactly six weeks ago today, he was married to Miss Maude Madge, of this city. After a few days Mr. and Mrs. Kurtz went to Jackson intending to live there. The fatal typhoid germs were already at work and he was quick­ ly laid low by the fatal illness. For four weeks he fought against the dread malady but dually, Tuesday afternoon at about 3:30 he succumbed to conquer­ ing death and passed to the world be­ yond. The remains were brought to this city yesterday noon and were met at the station by a concourse of mourning friends who escorted the body to the family home about three miles west of this city. The sympathy ef all is extended to the bereaved parents and brother, and espedaliy to the young wife, who only a few weeks ago began life so happily. The funeral services will be conduct­ ed at two o'clock this afternoon by the Rev.’Chas White, of Big Rapids, who performed the marriage ceremony ;six weeks ago. WHOLE NOJM69.

The daily papers not long ago reported a trial case where a man sued a medicine concern which had offered a hundred dollar* for a Case their remedy could not cure. It seem* that the man had not been cured, though he had taken the remedy. The defence was that he had not taken the medicine long enough. He did not get his hundred dollar*. We allude to this because Vinol does not give a slippery guarantee. We sell it on its merits and leave it to the user. If the user comes back with his empty bottle and says: “ I took that bottle of Vinol, and I can't see that it did me any good," we don't argue the matter. We say, or our clerk says, “ Sorry that you happen to be among the-few — here's your dollar!'' The few I They are very few — les* than one out of a hundred, according to the experience.

All uupunic-l to bv. -518.01Z. told, over lOO.OfO have been sent there. Of course there have been Individual in­ (Corclvd-J on seventh ppsf.) stances of wrongdoing among them. They warred under fearful difficulties of cli­ mate and surroundings, and under the strain of the terrible provocations which they continually received from their foes occasional instances of cruel retaliation occurred. Every effort hue been made to prevent such cruelties, and finally these efforts have been completely successful. , Every effort has also been made to de- , tect and puntah ths wrongdoers. After making all allowance for these misdeeds it remains true that few indeed have been the instances tn which war has been by a civilized power against semtciviltaed or barbarous farces where there has been so little wrongdoing by the vic­ tors as In the Philippine Islands. On the other hand, the amount of dlfficulL impor­ tant and beneficent work which has been done ta well nigh incalculable. Taking the work of the army and the civil authorities together, it may be ques­ tioned whether anywhere else in modern times the world has seen a better exam­ ple of real constructive statesmanship than pur people have given In the Philip­ pine Islands. High praise should also be given those Filipinos — tn the aggregate very numerous—who have accepted the new conditions and Joined with our repre­ sentatives to work with hearty good will for the welfare uf the Islands. The army has bMn reduced to the mini­ mum allowed by law. It ta very small for the size of the nation and most certainly should be kept at the highest point of efflciency.

Will Haymond ia entertaining her mother from Jackson ooanty fora lew daya THE OLD Detroit, Dr. Baker, secretary of the Michigan state board of health, said: “Not one of the commonly so-called ‘contagious diseases* is usually con­ tracted by a simple contact of tha un­ broken surface of the human body with tbe surface of an infected human body. Therefore the term ‘contagious,’ imply­ ing as it does the spread of disease by contact, should be obsolete. A much better term is the single word ‘com­ municable.’ “Of all the communicable diseases consumption (pulmonary tuberculosis) is now the most dangerous. More peo­ ple contract that disease than any oth­ er. Therefore anything, any statement, or any influence which belittles the im portauce of restricting the spread of consumption does damage in the most vital point of the interests of the pub­ lic health and safety. Improper housing and improper feed­ ing of the poor are important evils to be done away with, because they lead to discomfort and lowered vitality, and tend to spread disease. 'But if the germs of tuberculosis were generally restricted, any amount of lowered vi­ tality, because of improper housing and improper food, would not cause a single case of consumption. ‘•The essentials for the reetriction of consumption are: First, the general recognition of the truth that consump­ tion is the most dangerous communica­ ble disease. Knowledge of that fact is the power without which consumption cannot be restricted. It lie lack of ac­ tion because of ignorance of this great truth—that consumption is spread from infected persons—that kills off the improperly housed and improperly fed poor. It is ignorance of that great truth that kills off the rich by tubercu­ lar disease, in spite of proper bousing and proper feeding. •It la the slow but gradual gaining of' that precious knowledge by the common people, and action governed by that knowledge, that is reducing the mortality from consumption, as it is being reduced in Michigan. ‘‘In order to be most useful to the public, it is essential that this import­ ant knowledge shall be gained by and shall govern the actions of every coughing consumptive who otherwise is a constant source of danger. There­ fore the consumptive should be prompt­ ly put In possession of that knowledge. The first essential cannot be fulfilled by the public unless every case of welldeveloped consumption shall be report­ ed to the health officer. Every case re­ ported should be promptly informed how to avoid reinfection of the patient and spreading of the disease.’’ Notes From Mlchigaii's University. The great event in Ann Arbor last week was tbe Michigan-Minnesota foot­ ball game, it being ’ the first time that a championship game had ever been played on the home grounds of the Wolverines. Minnesota, elated by its recent victory over Wisconsin, came to Michigan with a band of husky giants determined to take the championship to the Northwest, but eleven men with big M’s (which didn’t stand for Minne­ sota,) gave them a grave disappoint­ ment. The day was hardly an ideal one yet in spite of the snow, slush and wind, a crowd of about 12,000 witness­ ed the great struggle. A thick coating of hay, spread over the field early in the week and removed just before the game, left the gridiron in excellent con­ dition. Securing the ball upon the kick off, Michigan marched straight down the field for a touchdown. In the latter । part of the first half, the fleet footed Heston made athirty five yard’run for a touchdown. The remainder of the half, the play was more even, each side being compelled to kick, in which part of the game, Sweeley had decidedly the better of Knowlton. In the second half Minnesota took advantage of a fumble which Capt. Weeks made of a short bounding punt to score.its only touch­ down. It was a clear fluke but count­ ed six nevertheless. This was the only time during the game that Minnesota had any chance of scoring. Indian Rogers once attempted a drop kick but It fell far short. Sweeley did some wonderful work for Michigan during this half, kicking a beautiful field goal from the potyard line, running back punts through a field of tacklers, and kicking long splcals. his last punt be­ Daring the last few minutes of play, shaking ofl several tacklers Ing the fuUgback ran 40 yards for a touchdown, making tbe anal scon S3 to < In Michigan’s favor. The game which made Michigan the undisputed cbamplonaXof the West was a great vindications ot the “hurry up” tactics of Coach Yost, as several of tbe best ods andgpropbeeied their failure when used against a strong team. Capt Weeks must also be given a great deal of credit for the team's success. With him saXCspt. snd field general, and Yost tain; Heston, half back; Sweeley, full­ back; and “iitUe" Graver, the versatile all-around player, substitute- Other all Western elevens will probably in­ clude one or two other Michigan playera, aa Redden at end and Gregory at center are two very strong men in their positions. The announcement of the all-America teams is anxiously await­ ed as Michigan expects a place or two In spite of the fact that heretofore Western athletes have been overlooked by Eastern critics.

Despite the inclement weather a large crowd attended the musical given in the Presbyterian church Tuesday evening under,.the direction of Mr. James Troxell.* Troxell's Orchestra furnished excellent music while the seventeen numbers on the program were all well received. Especially fine were the recitations by Miss Vinnie Ream, the trombone quartette and the clarinet solo by Mr. Walrath, of Nash­ ville. The financial side was brightened considerably by receipts aggregating 823. The annual meeting of the State Association of Breeders of Improved Live Stock is set for Tuesday and Wednesday, December 16 and 17,. in Detroit The headquarters of the As­ sociation will be at the Griswold House, where rooms for the various breed meetings will be furnished. It is proposed to have all the latter meet­ ings closed up on Tuesday, so tha en­ tirely of 1 Wednesday can be given up to tee combined meeting, The pro­ gram being arranged for this meeting will be of the most practical descrip­ tion, the various topics'discussed being opened by experienced men. W. A. Tateum, of GrandJRapids, was in the city Monday to arrange concern­ ing the franchise for the new electric road. He arranged to meet the council next Friday night when the matter will have to be definitely settled as Mr. Tateum leaves fbr Boston Tuesday to arrange the financial details with sev­ eral of the capitalists of that city. When asked concerning the probable terms of the franchise Alderman Brooks, who is the chairman of the street committee, said that it would probably be drawn up on the same lines as the former franchise. That is: that the railway should enter the city from Grand Rapids by State street, thence to Creek, thence to Bond where It should go to Hanover and thence out of the city. He said in addition, that no franchise would be granted under any consideration, unless the money for advertising the same was deposited with the council. The December session of the Circuit Court convened Monday morning. The forenoon was consumed in routine bus­ iness and in calling tbe calendar. AU the criminal cases on the docket were nolle pressed except that of the people against Jacob DeCracker charged with breaking into a store in the night time aud that of Warren Carr charged with violating tbe liquor laws. DeCracker came Into court and his sentence was suspended until the March term, while Carr’s case will probably be taken up later in the session. Henry Swinfi, of Woodland, charged with adultery, was arraigned end stood mute and Ha trial, which waa set for the 8th of December, was put at the foot of the jury calendar on account of the indorsement on tbe information of the wife of the com­ plaining witness. As a result his case will probably not be reached this term. Chas. Rose pleaded guilty to the charg­ es against him and was remanded to jail to await sentence.

From the deep recesses of his pocket he drew forth a bottle of newly purchased Hunter’s and flashed it upon the enchanted gaze of the engineer, who at first wavered at the sight. Finally however, he decided to do his duty despite the charms of the magic potion and kept on his way re­ gardless of the two unfortunates who stood on the platform waving their precious bottles in despair.

It is discouraging to find that little tasks that once were easy are now very hard. Many old people are lame, nearly all are weak. Worst ob all is that feeling of languor, of inability to act, of weariness at trifling exertion. Nothing will make the old young again, but Vinol will prevent ninety-nine out of one hundred old people from fteling so old. There is no humbug about it. We found out about Vinol and tried it every way before we decided to put it on the market and guarantee it. Now we believe that almost any tired, discouraged old person who will take a bottle of Vinol will feel better right away. It will increase their strength, appetite, and brighten their spirits. It does this by nourishing^ In old people, the digestion; be­ comes feeble. Vinol supplies quick nourishment and helps the fobd to nourish. Don’t blame the old folks for being blue and cross. Take home a bottle of Vinol. Money back if it isn’t helpful. W. H. GOODYEAR DRUCCIST. MailOrdersSappliei.fc.?^ Express Paid The Prudential Life Insurant OH* F.

The centralized school is to be both cause and effect. “The consolidation of our little, pov­ erty-stricken districts and.the centrali­ zation of ourjteaching forces will en­ able us to offer the children more than the traditional eight grades. The high school branches can; be introduced. Agriculture can be brought into the course of study. When by the addition of a year or more to the course of study in the country school, we have provided time for agriculture,Iwe shall have little trouble in finding teachers with the right sort of preparation­ graduates, it may be, of the rejuvenat. Tko non. ed agricultural colleges. The new country school and the new agricultur­ al college will work’ in harmony, each helping the other, the one beginning its work where the other leaves off. The skill and enthusiasm of the agricultur­ al college will then be at the service of the country schools just as the skill and enthusiasm of the old colleges are at the service of the high schools of the towns and cities. The secret of mak­ ing it so is within our grasp. Have we the courage to reach out our hands and grasp it? To bring all this about^we need not be in a hurry. Time is a great correct­ or, discussion a great equalizer. Let these twoj forces have their propet in­ fluence. meanwhile we may well choose to advocate the local option method. Give the people of every state a chance to say whether they will accept the new or keep the old. Everywhere we can ask for legislation that will en­ able us to try the centraJizM system where conditions are favorable.

By oar method we are able to stop the malting at the proper time and convert the starch into dextrine (an easily digested substance known as grape sugar). When we first became interested in thia health food subject we discovered that moat to called “health foods’’ were made from the poorer wheat which would not make good bread flour. We concluded that a pure white wheat the same as used in the well known brand of Voigt’s Crescent flour, cleaned and cleansed and determinated with the same care in the same modern machinery, then thoroughly steamed, cooked, flaked, baked, toasted and innenealed in air tight, verarn proof packages, would make a better food than any yet produced. Careful testing, experimenting and comparison haa only Served to strengthen our belief. If you'll try Cream Flakes, you too will believe it. They are a delicious dish.

S. Burton, who died at the home of his son in this city, of inflammation of the bowels, at 130 p. m., last Friday, there is removed from our midst a man, the early part of whoee career reads like a romance. f| Chas. 3. Burton was born at Water­ loo, N. Y., Sept. 13, 1823. His father, John Burton, was a lawyer, who sent his son to school at home and then to New York city to study medicine. Flrstjhe took up allopathy, but later he studied homeopathy. At that time there was not a homeopathic schoo] in the United States, and he was obliged to obtain his preliminary prac­ tice at the Bellevue Hospital in New York. In 1849, he and two other hom­ eopathic doctors came to Michigan, the first of that school who ever came to this state. Dr. Burton did not come unaccompanied, for on Feb. 13th of that year he had married Anne Eliza Monroe in Romulus, N. Y., and she ac In the spring of 1855 the Burtons started once nlore for home, taking their passage by the ship States, but it was early In the following year that they got to Michigan. This time they came to this city, which was then bnt a small hamlet, and lived on the property now owned by Henry Bailey.

A great victory was scored in Ohio, uninterruptedly for the next two years. but it, was net greater in proportion than the victory in Kansas. Twoyears ago the total vote cast in Ohio waa slightly in excess of a million. It did nat fall much under that figure this yw. The republican majority of 100,­ 000 was therefore one-tenth of the to­ tal. The Kansas vbte polled Tuesday was under 300,000. The republican majority of 30,000 or thereabouts was fully one-tenth of the total. These fig­ ures may be changed somewhat by more complete returns, but not enough to spoil the comparison.

A report had pre­ ceded them that the doctor was worth 840,000, and although he was worth but 32,000 at the time, he did not deny the report, but even paid taxes on the for­ mer amount, on the principle that a rich and prosperous man would gain more business than if his real condition were known. So well did this idea suc­ ceed that he found his doctor’s prac­ tice growing so large that he was obliged to sell his paper, devoting his spare time to the care of his landed property, for as a money lender he had come into possession of a number of farms. During all these years he lived here, rearing a family of four children, all of whom are still living—Charles F., a Detroit patent attorney; Clarence M., the well known Detroit abstract man; Ellen B., wife of Nathan Judson, of Lansing and Edward A., of the firm of Chidester & Burton, of this city.

Relying scarcely at all upon the use at her crutches, which she has been compelled to u*e since early childhood, little Marie Waters alighted from tbe .653 train last Thursday evening, after having spent six weeks in a Chicago hospital, where she was treated for a congenital affection of tbe hips, by the celebrated Austrian physician. Dr. Lorenz. Three times the noted sur­ geon was obliged to operate upon the little girl, once upon the ankle, then upon the knee and hip. The results, however, are even better than were ex­ pected, for now she walks with a con­ siderable degree of ease, although still aided by a crutch. She was accompanied by her sister, Mrs. Maggie tioette, of Chicago, who has been with her dur­ ing the entire time and who returned to Chicago Monday. In a couple of weeks, the little girl will again be taken to Chicago, so that she may enjoy the superior care of the hospital, and at last be fully enabled to use her limbs. It is sincerely hoped that she will be as fortunate as the doctor's first patient, the little daughter of Ogden Armour, who, physicians say, will soon be able to take dancing lessons. Died. .

A Berlin dispatch tells of a proposed “international cotton conference” to be held In that capital for the purpose of “encouraging cotton production in Af­ rica, by England.

Only a few days ago the London Times reported the Lancashire cotton manufacturers as eager to find a new source of supply for their raw material British agents have been recently re­ ported in Egypt studying the cotton * growing possibilities of that country. w In India cotton is grown with success —such as it is« Its staple is too short fl for it to become a serious competitor fl with our southern products.

It was then that India be­ came an experimental cotton country. John Bright, ridiculing the Tory idea of that time that Lancashire looms could be fed with Surat (India) cotton told of aj? Manchester minister who prayed the Lord to send cotton for its factories and was interrupted by an earnest voice from the pews: •Bat not Surat cotton, O Lord!” Indian cotton’still remains an infer­ ior article. Probably England will continue for indefinine years to come to look to these United States, as she does now, for the bulk of the over 8200,000,000 worth of raw cotton which fl sbe annually buys from abroad—and the rest of/Europe likewise.—New York World. * fl fl ib xb u, fl fl 'I' fl fl fl fl fl fl fl fl fl fl fl fl fl fl fl fl * In 1552 the patriarch of Aquileia feted Ranucclo Farnese, the pope’s nephew, in the palace on the Giudeeca.

Indeed, Mr. Woodbury is of the A day’s stiff fighting in which the in- opinion that the natives will eventually .fan try were greatly aided by the artii- awaken to a sense of the goodj which is being extended to them and that finalthey will become loyal subjects to this gorerumeiU. One powerful element toward the realization of this idea is the attitude of tbe better class of the native primts, who preach and teach the benoflta of the mild and liberty­ abounding government of the United Btaleaaadwbo show their people the difference between liberty and Intapendenok in fact they go so far as to cUMOe “Star Spangled Banner” tn the church services and sometimes even the strains of the “Giri I lett Behind Me” can be hoard amidst the wret solemn surroundings. On the whole tte priests are a moot powerful factor to­ ward bringing about a reconciliation. Another factor is the Importation of the American school teachers, who are uncommonly quick at understanding. Mr. Woodbury himself taught school at Santa Maria Del Buena Vista and had made much progress when the military government was re­ placed by the civil authorities. As to Che people Mr. Woodbury says they are small of stature but remark­ ably quick. They are well advanced in all branches of the sciences and have excellent engineers, physicians aud sur­ geons. A type of the latter was the celebrated Dr. RIzal, the anniversary of whose execution by the Spanish is annually kept as a legal holiday in the islands and who is regarded as a holy martyr to the sacred cause of liberty. One thing which the Philippines seem to inherit from their Chinese an­ cestors is a habit of extreme and nau­ seating filth. They live in houses con­ structed of bamboo, thatched with Nipa palm. The floors are made of narrow slats woven together, but so porous that water and other refuse easily flow through it to feed the swine which are kept in the cellar under the house. No attempt is made at wash­ ing dishes and the yards are never cleaned but the people pray fervently for the coming of rainy season when tbe filth will be washed away. Some­ times the government authorities get after the yards and clean them up. Then sights wonderful to see greet the astonished vision. Mr. Woodbury say8 that he saw forty-two dray loads of filth taken from one ordinary sized yard In Manila. Another Chinese characteristic is the use of rice as a substantial part of the daily diet. In fact, among the poor the usual bill of fare is rice, sometimes sweet potatoes and rarely cocoanuts. The rice is cultivated by a plow re­ sembling that used In biblical times, and with this antiquated implement, when the ground is in good condition, they are sometimes able to plow an eighth of an acre per day. One thing which the Americans have done is to improve the roads.

It was the music of victory. Wh-m Jesus came, the great mass of human­ ity was in serfdom, and the dignity of labor was not comprehended. Toil was regarded as a degradation. La­ borer* were despised and all forms of manual industry held to be a disgrace. But the Bon of Mary and Joseph came to teach the world a new philosophy, and by honorable industry he pro­ claimed the dignity of labor and taught that— | The honest man. tbo' ere sac poor, la king of men for a* that. I I Jesus counts the beads of sweat upon tbe brow of every son of toil. He notes all injustice done the labor­ ing classes, and only as his spirit pre­ vails among men will the great con­ flict between labor and capital cease.

When these heavenly hosts sang the “Gloria In Exc-lsis.” the whole world was resting under galling yokes of oppres­ sion. Slavery was universal. Task­ masters wefe everywhere severe to those in servitude. Greece, Rome and Palestine heard daily the groans of those in bondage. Tbe world was in chnias' But the song of the angels rang the deathknell of l»ondage. The Babe was God’s emancipation. His distinctive mission was to set al liberty the captives and proclaim deliverance to the bruised and crushed sous of toil. Under the mild and genial influence of our holy Christianity fetters fall off everywhere, until now in,this morning of our new century there are few nalions to be found that hold serfs. Glorious.freedom! Triumphant achieve­ ment of the cross! Wherever it is lifted chains are broken and spiritual eman­ cipation Is proclaimed. It was the music of hope. Until Jeaua appeared all the ancient religions had offered only a message of despair. No light fell upon the grave or illu­ mined tbe vast beyond. Darkness reigned In supreme, sullen majesty, and not a single star of hope gilded the future. The grave was an eternal prison. But tbe songs sung by the heavenly choristers on that eventful night heralded hope to a lost world. Into the soul of sinning humanity came the sweet rays of jby and peace and blessedness, and. looking down Into the grave, all fear bad vanished, for sin, the sting of death, was gone and canceled by a glorious Christ the ‘ Lord.

A aeries of festivities beginning nine days before Christmas and euding on Christmas eve marks the Yuletide cele­ bration in Mexico. In a circle of friendk it is arranged that nine visits shall be paid to nine different houses. Each evening’s gayety begins with prayer and the lighting of candles. These! are followed by the presentation of a* gift from each guest to the host or hostess of the evening. The first evening’s gift is of small worth, but the value of the offering Increases with every succeeding evening. That there may be nothing unfair in tbe distribu­ tion, the recipient of the first evening’s ' offering one rear becomes the last the following year. After the presentation * “ • there are dancing and supper. At mid­ night tbe candles are extinguished. No two evenings’ entertainments are exactly alike save in the offering of prayers, the lighting of candle* and the presenting of gifts.

That was a long ways for a dollar to go, but it don't compare with how far a dollar will go here. We don't claim that we sell lower than others simply because we want to be kind to our customers. Not at all. We do it because we believe it to be good business policy. We would prefer to sell 20 yards of ribbon, for instance, and make 40c than to sell two yards and make the same amount. We- don't pre­ tend to have the only store on earth, but ice do seek to give every customer 100 cents worth of satisfaction for every dollar spent at our store. With us “quality" and “bargains" are twins. When we offer a bargain it is nothing of the “job lot," water soiled, smoke tainted variety, ft is something taken from regular slock that we want to get rid of. In other words we sell our goods—not our customers. ■'I'- Doll Bargains. Ribbans Underwear We are going out of the doll business. We' ve got to make room for goods. We have a nice stock of therm now and in order to close them out quick we have knocked off all the profit and some of the original cost.

Christmas without ribbons is like Thanksgiving with­ out turkey. We’ve always been leaders in the ribbon bus­ iness and we are yet. We have a fine line for Christ­ mas.

Very many of the white people of Ja­ maica were born in tbe island and so know nothing of the Christmas ctfs toms of tbe north.

AA.AU : TOM DAWSON, : I Private Seaetay CoprHghi, um. bj W. 11 Durhu, Thomas Dawson was private secre­ tary to the head of a downtown whole­ sale house. Old Jackson used to say that the house could not get along without Dawson, yet that personage had been In the employ of the firm only a short year, was but twenty-fftpr years old and knew nothing of the business when he entered. But he had been a reporter and a good one. That means, as everybody knows, that he knew a little of everything In the world and a great deal more. So when be applied for a position with .one of the most unique letters old Jackson bad ever received tbe old man, after struggling through a wilderness of bad writing, broke Into a hearty laugh and •ent for him. “You think you can fill the.position that Is open, do you?’ growled old Jackson at Dawson when that young gentleman appeared. “Do you know that this Is a most confidential place and that, while knowledge of the busi­ ness and lines we handle Is not abso­ lutely necessary, yet to a man of not more than average Intellect who is in­ experienced the position is Impossible?” “Why, of course I can hold it. Do you suppose I would come snooping around here if I didn’t think you need­ ed me?" . • Jackson had been so used to having meu quail before him, especially when seeking a position, that tins breezy an­ swer floored him. But he liked it. “Well, young man, I will just give you ten minutes’ trial.” It was nearly boon when Dawson had presented himself, and he now said: “Very well. 1 will * spend the ten minutes getting lunch and then re­ turn.” He was gone before the old man could stop him. Hejleft the door open as he went out, a trick for which a man bad been fired: only the day be­ fore. Old Jackson seemed to shrink • into himself until hei was almost sit­ ting on his back, staring out the open •41oor nt the stalwrirt back of his new secretary as it went down the long aisle and out jhe front door. , “Bang!” went the old man’s fist on tbe bell. A hrfgo negro, dressed like a comic valentine, sprang Into the office. "Dolefulness,” roared the old man, “did you see that young fellow go out?” “Yes, sah; I saw him.” said the black. "Well, when that fellow comes back kill him,” fust just as I was goto’ to hit him wld my billy.” “What did he do?’ “Jest grabbed me by de collab; he held me wld one hand and tied mt wld the odder." “Stand up,” to Dawson. He saw that the negro was a foot and a half higher than his private secretary. “That'll do, Dolefulness. You may go.” “Now, sir," said Dawson, “if you will be so klnd^as to give me a word er two of advice I will proceed with business. 1 have stacked the letters marked personal on your desk and sent the others to the beads of the various departments. Is that right?’ “Say, you—you, who’s boss here, you or me? How did you know who the heads of departments were?” ... •: “That’s easy. I noticed tbe names of them, together with their departments, emblazoned in box car letters on tbe doors of their offices in the hall.” “Do you mean to tell me that you have only passed down this aisle three times and know all the beads of de­ partments by name?’ “Certainly. What else are my eyes for?" Jackson didn't answer. He looked at bis new employee a moment, took bis seat and began to open bls mail. Daw­ son picked up a paper and began to read. Directly be said: “By the way, Thomas." “Yes, sir," said the new secretary. ’Wwisb you would go and tell Miss Agnew, the stenographer I always have, to come here. You may spend the time looking over tbe store. Come back in an hour.” Dawson looked the store over from top to bottom In that hour. He Intro­ duced himself to every man Ini tbe place and brought a smile to the face of each. A thinly veiled compliment here, a well told bit of his newspaper experience there, made every man his friend. When he reached the office. Mr. Jackson'was gone, but on Dawson’s desk reposed a note. "Well," he said. “1 guess it’s up to me. I supposed from tbe way the old; man acted that he was going to keep me, but he concluded that he could write better than he talked after all. and here is where—wow!” Dawson had, opened the envelope. and the last exclamation was caused by the following: Mr. Dawson—You have intruded yourlelf into this office and shoved my nigger |“put that n-l-g-g-c-r.J' Mr. Jackson had raid to thp stenographer) into the closet. You have also made yourself familiar without any warrant or direction with my whole store. You are retained at a •alary, to begin with, of (5.000 per year. BBEN JACKSON. . All this had happened a year ago. Now the old man was furious. He ar­ rived at the store fifteen minutes early and cursed every mau In the place black and blue. Dawson’s first duty In the morning consisted of sorting and opening the mail, and be had so arranged matters Sir. Jackson bad been holding In pretty well but this wns too much. “Do you mean to tell me that you have dared’’— Thus far he got and choked. Spat sput. sputter caine from his throat until Dawson said: “Par-don me. sir, but some day that fit will kill you.” The proprietor of millions sank In his chair before this beardless boy. “I want you to go. sir! This Instant you leave my employ! Go!” "Certainly, sir." was the reply. “But before I go”—here he reached behind his desk aud produced the same rope with which he bad tied Dolefulness— “just a minute." . ; • - / He grasped Mr. Jackson by the col­ lar, swiftly bound his bands, thrust a handkerchief into his mouth and an­ chored it with one abstracted from Mr. Jackson's pocket, thrust him Into the closet,which.bad proved so useful bei fore, locked tbe dopr. and Mr. Jackson heard him whistle. It was only an hour that the boss had to stay in his cooped up jail, but It seemed a year. He suddenly heard tbe whistle again and was ready to get down on his knees to bls unruly employee when the door suddenly opened. He happened to be straining upon it at the time and as a conse­ quence fell headlong Into the room. He was quickly released by Dawson. “That’s all right, my boy," faltered the employer. "I won’t fire you again —not until I get a corps of policemen.” “That’s all right, sir. If you desire that I go now. I will do so; only”—and he poked his head out of the office door and brought In the girl who was at the bottom of tbe trouble — “allow me to introduce my wife.” The old man was too full for utter­ ance. Finally he reached out and grasped them by the band. Pulling one on each knee, he began to pat them on tbe back, while a smile of content­ ment stole over his face. W. H.

But other causes not less mysterious In their operation have checked that progress. Many of the populous countries of antiquity have become depopulated and apparently unable to support life. It is uncertain whether nt the present tnoment the population of tbe globe is greater than it was 2.000 or 3.000 years ago. There Is congestion In Europe. In India aud in China.

There la ■ conjridernhle quantity of mescal drunk at these celebrations, and many of the braves fall by the wayside. Tbe palefacas from tbe surrounding settlements attend tbe fiesta, and some bring along their whisky and gaming implement*. In the plan, or central square, there are all kinds of games and booths for all kinds of drinks. The Pueblo In­ dian is not used to our wblsky. and a very little soon induces him to gamble away bis money, clothes and wife. Islets, a f$w miles from Albuquer­ que, N. M., Is the largest of the twenty Pueblo villages In the territory, and the celebration here Is always attended by a large crowd of whites. It lasts two or three days, during which there are horse racing, cocking mains and other sports. Tbe gaming tables are run night and day. One of tbe games Is chusa. similar to tbe American roulette, with a hidden spring which the dealer touches. 'Another sport is el gallo—the burying of a rooster In the sand, leav­ ing his bead above the surface. The best riders in tbe village are selected to compete. They form in n front line at a distance of 100 yards, and charge down upon the rooster. Tbe rider, go­ ing at full run, leans from his saddle and grabs at the head of the rooster. If he catches the fowl, he is applauded as the victor. He then races for hia home, with all the other horsemen aft­ er him. with the intention of depriv­ ing him of his trophy. If they take the fowl from him before be reaches home, be is shorn of bis laurels, and in the scramble the unfortunate rooster is often torn to pieces. When a rider misses catching the rooster’s head, every one laughs, and If he fails from his horse he Is greeted with shouts of derision aud epithets of “squaw man.” There are services In tbe church each morning during the fiesta, with the usual game and sports In tbe after­ noon and dancing at night. The serv­ ices are Roman Catholic—all Pueblos being members of that church. They, however, observe some of their own rights in secret-tbe dance being part of their creed worship. Chrlitmu li Christmas is held in greatest rever­ ence by the Christians of the east, and nowhere Is Its observance more solemn and Imposing than In Bethlehem, the picturesque old town where Christ was born. On Christmas eve the devout of Jerusalem gather together and flock out of the city and march to the Church of the Nativity’ In Bethlehem, the oldest monument of Christian ar­ chitecture in the world. There mass is celebrated, while armed Turkish sol­ diers stand on guard beside the altar and around the brilliant star, where, Christ is supposed to have lain in the manger and which gleams up from the pavement, the most conspicuous object In the grotto. — St Louis Globe-Demo- For Christmas Presents Don’t Ever Go By Our Hardware Store In selecting something for a The kind you can buy here are not-of the “pink lemonade” variety—they will last for years, suitable Christmas present you should aim toget something that is both durable and useful, Such presents are always most appreciated and they are certainly the most sensible.

The discovery ot the terrible crime j fell to Mr. and Mrs. George W. Garri- ' sqn, of Baltimore, the parents of Robert Garrison. The latter and his wife had Invited his parents to come and spend Sunday with them. For some reason the parents equid not come on Sunday, but concluded to visit them the next day (Monday.) Leaving home shortly after nine o’clock in the ! morning they arrived at the home of their son about 10:45, little dreaming of the awful sight in store for them. Driving up on the west side of the house Mr. Garrison got out and went in by the back kitchen door. A lamp was still burning on the table. Near the front kitchen door was a little pile of bed clothing that the murderer had placed on a big pool of blood where the body had first fallen. Mr. Garrison saw a little blood on the floor, but says that even then it did not come to him that a crime had been committed. Thinking perhaps there was sickness in the house he called out: “Hello, ain’t there any­ body at home?" Receiving no answer he walked into the parlor, and then into the bed room off of the parlor, but saw no one. Coming back he opened the bed room door leading off from the kitchen and there a horrible sight met his eyes. There lay the body of his A CLVE • Here the first clue was obtained. Mr. Van Sickle had gone co Battle Creek with a load of [wood, but it was ascertained that John Brantlinger, a farm hand, working! for Mr. Van Sickle had taken the latter’s double barreled shot gun that morning and gone out, as he claimed to -hunt skunks.” After being absent for sooAe time he had brought the o gun back that he hadn — ------— saying _„--------------------’t got any skunks out claiming that he had [ got on track o[f a couple.

The shot gun had been, cleaned out the night be­ fore, but the, left barrel shows that it had been shot. Had Burrows, Will Clemence and ethers took up the track of Brantlinger and followed him. He was seen to | pass through Bedford. From Bedford Eugene Jordan notified Chief of Police Farrington, of Battle Creek, of the murder and asked him to be on the look out for a man about 30 or 3?> years old, with heavy black mous­ tache, black hair and eyes, small and of slender build. । The Chief called in bis men, had them dressed in citizens clothing, and with each one of them he had a man from Johnstown, who knew Brantlinger. The latter after reaching Battle Creek had gone to a;barber shop Diagram of the House mine Bedroom Pantry Pages to 8 WHOLE NO. 2471. and had his moustache shaved off, had purchased a sweater and hat.

Capital Punishment. The brutal murder .and hellish as­ sault upon the dead body of a woman, Which for a second time within four years has blackened the name of Barry County, seems to the writer to call for Something more severe than mere im­ prisonment. To a brute capable of committing such a crime imprisonment, even for life, is no great punishment, and hanging even seems too mild. It Was a brutal coward's deed. We can understand how, in the heat of passion, 5*uq person can take another's life, or vhafiug under some great provocation, b human life may be taken, but none of these circumstances were present in the death of Mrs. Robert Garrison. A human being in the form of mau, but with instincts not above the brute Creation, deliberately shoots down a highl£ respected but defenseless woman tu her own home and desecrates her dead body. Absolutely without cause br provocation, could crime assume a more wickedly atrocious form? It was it regular Southern negro act, for which the perpetrators are tied to a stake and burned. The cold walls of the penitentiary, dr the •pen" as the murderer familiarly v^lls it, have no horrors for such a brutal coward as Utzler. All that such B brute prizes is his own life, as was shown by his enngiug appeals to the officers for protection from the mob which he thought awaited him. The only way to reach such base minds as Utiler's is to impress them with the fact that if they deliberately commit in Kalamazoo the same evening by Deputy Sheriff Sproul It seems that she had been in the Asylum last Spring but was released after a couple of weeks.

Such brutes as Utzler ought to be, at least, hung. During the past week affairs In! Ven­ ezuela have assumed a most serious as­ pect and the addition of Italy to the coalition would seem that it is perhaps a covert attack at the Monroe doctrine. The U.

MILLER & HARRIS, Some of the big problems with which the educational people of the state will wrestle at their annual meeting at Sag­ inaw, E. S., December 29-31, are these: The consolidation or centralization of rural schools; whether the "new” arith­ metic is an improvement on the old practical manuel training in the grades of village and country schools; to what degree college entrance requirements should control high school courses; how to select and keep a good corps of teachers; the place of nature study in schools; the use of examinations; the duty and manner of training for citi­ zenship and how to take care of tru­ ants. C. H. Thomas had an experience Monday evening which will serve as a warning to others against pulling down the metallic receiver hook on the tele­ phones instead of permitting the weight of the receiver to weigh it down. Mr. Thomas had only just returned from the scene of the Garrison murder and called up to notify his wife of his safe arrival. Evidently an electric light wire had become crossed with the phone wire and when he pulled down on the hook preparatory to ringing up, his hand touched another metallic sub­ stance forming a circuit and throwing him back with great force. For some seconds Mr. Thomas thought he was done for, but he finally came around all right Although he says that he will use more caution when be talks hereafter. A program of much interest was car­ ried out at the Club Friday. The roll call answered by original rhymes caused much amusement and brought out a great diversity of poetical talent. While in a few cases the meter was a little "off,” and some contented them­ selves with ending their lines with club, mud and hub; poet and know it; aud similiar doggerel rhymes^ a great many were veritable’ little gems, and pretty tribute was paid to the club and the dub flower. Mrs. Annie Powers opened with a well prepared and in­ structive paper on Washington and Layfayette, of whom she said no names were more fresh today in the minds of the American people. In Oratory of the Revolution, Mrs. E. M. Hoyt made mention of Patrick Henry, Richard Henry Lee, James Otis and Dani Webster, giving extracts from their most famous speeches, but said in reading them at this day, we should keep in mind the man, the subject and the occasion. or we would fail to ac­ count for the impression they created on their countrymen when they were delivered. Mbs Charlotte VanAuken’a paper on American Patriotism proved a treat. In tracing the rise and prog­ ress of American patriotism from tbe time our scanty heritage was received at the close of the Revolution to the the twentieth century and our present broad and fruitful lands, the writer handled her subject with unquestioned skill and delighted her hwfrers with a flue series of word pictures, beautiful phrases and well developed thoughts, that brought forth hearty applause when she had finished.

The social at the town hall Friday evening was an enjoyable occasion. C. F. Grozinger has his new building nearly completed. Frothe start there has been no doubt, or question, but what Brantlin­ ger, whose right name he admits is Matthias H. Utzler, was the guilty man, but with nothing but circumstantial evidence to tight the case with, convic­ tion is often difficult. The murderer has eliminated all doubt however, by confessing bis guilt and all the most beastly suppositions df the officers, even to the desecration of the body af­ ter death. Great credit is due the Battle Creek officers for their good work. Chief Farrington, of Battle Creek, put the prisoner in the “sweat box" and se­ cured the first partial confession, the whole thing being gradually wormed from him. To some the brute said that he went to the house to get the money received from the sale of thef farm, while to others he stated that he went to collect 50 cents that Mr. Garri­ son owed him for work. It was supposed that the -prisoner would be brought here on the 3:45 p. m. C. K. & 8. train from Kalamazoo Tues­ day afternoon. It was probably just as well that ho was not. A crowd of probably 300 people gathered at the depot awaiting the arrival of the train, and in the crowd were 15 or 30 of the neighbors of Mr. Garrison. While they were doubtless not present to make any attempt to take the law into their own hands, yet the mere appearance of the brutal murderer might have so enraged them that there is no telling what might have followed. In the crowd were scores of others who would have raised no restraining hand to prevent a lynching. On the contrary some of them would have taken pleasure in pulling a little on the end of the rope. After the train came in it was reported that Sheriff Cortright was driving across the country from Battle Creek with the prisoner and those who were here from the country left. Sheriff Cortright took the prisoner to Char­ lotte thence to this city, the train being about ap hour late and not arriving here until abou*. ten o’clock. Though quite a numbt - were at the depot no demonstration v.as made, but the cow­ ardly wretch was in mortal terror of be­ ing lynched, and constantly appealed to the officers for protection from the fate so many would have been glad' to have seen him receive. an interview Through the courtesy of Sheriff Cortright the reporter visited the pris­ oner yesterday morning, finding him to be a man about 5 feet 2 inches tall, dark eyes and hair and with a peculiar­ ly shaped head, being quite long and narrow. He is an inferior looking fel­ low, though of average intelligence. His looks brand him as a criminal and I Holiday Excursion Rates. his instincts certainly are. His eyes are The C. K. & S. By.

He first gave his Jan. 1st, 1903, limited to return on or name as John Brantlinger, which name before Jan. 2d, 1903, at one and one- he was known by in the Van Sickle neighborhood, but~iater be confessed third fare- for the round trip. that his right name was Matthias Hi S. C. Ghkusel, AgL THE OLD RELIABLE Ulster. He stated that he was bom in Johnstown, Pennsylvania, that his father died Vhen he was two years of age, and that his mother, two sisters and three brothers were drowned in the Johnstown flood. He gave his age as 33 years July 12th last and his height as 5 ft 2X inches and his weight about 130 pounds. He stated that he was of Dutch descent. From Pennsylvania he went to Ohio where he worked in the coal mines. He came to Battle Creek about Oct. 8th last and went to work for Fred Van Sickle about Oct 20th. Following are some of the ques­ tions asked him, and answers that ‘he gave: Q. Can you rea d and write? Q. Ever’been arrested before? A. No air.' (Later he admitted that he had.) Q. Were you acquainted with Mr. and Mrs, Robert Garrison? A. Not really. I worked for him one day, half a day husking corn and half a day hull­ ing clover seed. Q. Ever have any trouble with either of them? A. No. Q. You started out with your gun before daylight? A. 1 didn’t notice. Q. You went to Mr. Garrison’s by the road? A. Yes mostly. I went around by the barn up to the house. Q. Which way did you go into the house? A. By the back kitchen door. Q. Was Mrs. Garrison in the house when you went in? A. Yes sir. Q. Did you speak to her. A. Yes sir. Q.' What did she say to you? A. She said “good morning.” Q. Did you tell her what you were after. A. Yes. I told her I came af ter the 50 cents Mr. Garrison owed me for work. Q. What did she say? A. She said, “all right, wait a minute and I’ll get it for you.” Q. What happened then? A. She started to walk away and I shot. Q. There was no scuffle at any time? Q. Where did yon stand when you shot? A. Near tho back kitchen door. Q. How far was the muzzle of the gun from her when you fired? A. I don’t know. I think not far. Q. What did you do after you shot her? A. L searched the house. Q. How long a time did you search? A. I presume 10 or 15 minutes. Q. Did you find any money? A. No. I found a pocketbook and a gold watch. Q. After you searched tbe house you came back and dragged the body into the bed room and outragtil it? A. Q. Did you search the house after that? A. No. Q- Did you go to tbe house for* tbe purpose of robbery or outrage? A. No sir; it never entered my head- Itap peared to come over me like a flash and seemed as if it must be that way. I went there after the 50 centa and never thought of murder at that time (Utzler confessed to Prosecutor Thomas that he went to Mr. Garrison’s to get the money received from the sale of the farm and took the gun along to kill her iffnecessary.) . Q. What did you do after the shoot­ ing. A. I left the house by the back door, crossed the road and went through th^field to Mr. Van Sickle’s. Q. You took a pocket 'book and a watch from the house? A. Yes. About 50 rods from tbe house I looked through the pocket book and threw it away as there wasn't anything in it. The watched I pawned in Battle Creek for 85.00. (The murderer claims he left the watch chain near the pocket book.) Q. You bought clothing at Battle Creek? A. Yea, I bought a vest, bat and sweater. Q. What did you do with your wammus and cap? A. I left them at the store in Battle Creek where I bought tbe other clothing. Q. Then you went to a barber shop? A. Yes, got a shave and hair cut. Q. Did you get your moustache shaved off to disguise yourself? A. No, I get my moustache shaved off once every year. Q. You expected to get away before they found the body? A. Yes, but 1 didn’t expect to leave Battle Creek that night. / Q. Have you ever been arrested be­ fore? The prisoner hesitated some, but finally replied that he had. Q. Where were you arrested and what for? A. In Blairsville, Indiana county, Pennsylvania for stealing $55 in 1889. I entered a house and took it when nobody was in. Q. What sentence did you get? A. Two yqars in the “pen” in AUeghauey । City, Penn. That is the only time I was ever arrested. The crime seems to have been fully premeditated, the criminal evidently appreciating the secluded location of the premises. In the interview he admit­ ted that he thought he could kill Mrs. Garrison and get away before her tody was discovered, though persisting that he had no thought of murder in bis mind, when he went to the house, » Doubtless, the above is substantially true as to the commission of the crime, though the miserable wretch once or twice got tangled up on statements he Lad previously made, showing that be Church and Society. concerned m to the reporter’, opinion aa to whether be would be lynched.

It is the latter day fashion to talk somewhat cynically of Christmas and its celebration. We are told that the ancient cu&tom of exchanging Christ-1 man remembrances among friends has become a matter of calculation and vulgar display, that people nowa- ! days spend more than they can afford . in buying Christmas gifts, and give , them grudgingly and expect in return presents of at least an equal money * value. Even the Christmas dinner, with its plum puddings and mince pies, is fair game for tbe present day humorist. He gloaW over the dyspep- ’ ria and indigestion which enaue, and paints the day which should be the happy climax of the year as a mourn- I ful season made memorable by empty j pocketbooks, blasted expectations and pepsin. Many peoplehaveperbaps unconsciously caught the cynical 1 spirit of the hour, and in condemning the abusesconnected with the celebra- ' tion of Christmas have apparently lost right,of the spirit which still vivifies . th ©.greatest of Christian holidays-. | But men talk more lightly than they . feel, says the Chicago Tribune, and it i is not likely that the chicfest of the , cynics would willingly consent to the abolition of Christmas. He would ' raise the glow of kindly feeling which, ! in spite of all that he and hi® fellows i may say. still warms the heart of the • world when the holidays come round. ; Perhaps he ia still of an age when "go­ ing home for ChristmaV means so much.

In that case it will be hard for him to remain a cynic.

They take a real interest in the special music of the services and anthems and carols of the season, and they are invited to spend an evening, of genial amusement at the deanery and in the houses of some of the. kindly canons.

Any more about the quality of a shoe by looking at it, than you can tell of the character of a man by looking at him. Both must be tried in order to find out how they are going to wear. When it comes to style and wearing qualities of shoes we will be pleased to have you compare our goods with any that you can find anywhere for the same prices. In Gents shoes we handle the celebrated W. L. DOUGLAS and the LOUIS A. CROSSETT lines, and many others. We handle these goods because we know they will please our patrons, and that everyone will get a big 100 cents worth of wear for every dollar invested. In Ladies shoes we handle the D. A. Donovan & Co. line, made in Lynn, Mass. They are just a little better in quality and just a little easier fitting than any other shoe to be had for the money.

If you haven’t been in our store within the past two or three months you wouldn’t know it We’ve grown. Our business de­ manded more room and we have about doubled our capacity. Our growth is due to the fact that we sell the best goods we can at the lowest possible price. If we were in the habit of bamboozling customers do you suppose that our trade would have grown to such an extent that we had to have twice as much room as former­ ly? When people buy here, we ‘know, and they know, they get their money's worth. OSBORN, SHOES AND CLOTHING, HASTINGS, MICHIGAN �6 nsSi*Et A \\Av dtnwr I She did not in.n, «d Ah. .t.„ *11 ri^it, I (»M..

Kn- The world, if it knows its business, will doff its hat to the man who swore off New Year’s day. Notwith­ standing the guffaws of the crovfd at the bar when they hear about it, that man, says the Chicago Daily News, is worthy of respect and en­ couragement. Having the desire to mend hia ways, he has braved the jests of his associates, the sneers of those whose unworthy methods he hopes to forsake, and the curious glances of casual acquaintances, in order to exercise his will in resist­ ing evil habits. His militant man­ hood is worthy of praise. So, for your own sake as well as for his, do not laugh or sneer at him or take a patronizing attitude toward him because of your well-known and unassailable virtue. Express confi­ dence in him and help him to stick to his good intentions. Why should not one resolve to for­ sake one's bad habits on the first day of the year? Why should not one resolve to forsake them on any other day? Having made the resolve and entered upon the effort necessury to carry it out, why should one be the subject of jests, since there is nothing foolish nor dishonorable in trying to improve one’s methods of life? If the school of experience teaches valuable lessons, as every one knows it does, why should not one profit by these lessons?

There were just six cents in my pocket, for 1 had deposited my last dollar with the boarding-hou.-ckeeper in caae the laundryman should call in my absence. Notwithstanding the child’s hardened little face there was an expression about her wide mouth that attmeted me. It was almost motherly in its maturity. Laying the nickel and the penny side by ride in my hand, I •‘aid: "It is all I have. If you take the nickel 1 shall have to walk home, but if it is the penny you choose I may ride, ami I am very tired.” She shot an impudent, inquisitive glance at me. "Where d’youee live?” she asked.

The door opened timidly, and there on tbe threshold stood no other than my little beggar of the night be­ fore. .

SEARS hamlet in the bills, became slguificant only ..in the mystery of distance us It mounted toward the hills and ended at last in one vast, gray, sealike leyel against the trackless sky. Mary looked at It ail 11s one upon whose mind the meaning of these familiar scenes had just begun to dawn—these fields, the chickens she must pltick, the bread she must make, the rasf>berries she must preserve, all grouped themselves before her in a coherent scheme of life. From dawn till dark, each day alike, cooking, washing, pre­ serving, holding the babies—the bur­ dens of each side were hers. So far she had carried them unthinkingly, un­ questionably. It was only the lot of every farmer’s life. Tonight she was unusually tired. To escape a feeling of restlessness she had determined to go to bed. It was re­ freshing to He iu the cool darkness. But before she reached the top of the attic stairs she felt the dry heat of the sun baked roof. The great, timbered space. dark with Its age blackened beams and scantly windowed twilight, held a strange odor of cedar shingles, of andent leather trunks, of musty papers. In the solemn dusk the candle lost its bold glare and drooped to a wavering spark, eyed by the glimmering gray panes of the gabls windows high under the ridge. Tbs two chimneys, like huge stone * * whom ‘ ‘ she had been feeding all " giants day. stooped over her as they towered toward the roof, reminding her of to­ morrow’« kitchen work. As Mary rat on the edge of her cot thinking of these things, she looked up vaguely. A star, the first in the pale night shone through the window upon A lock of hair loosened by the wind floated softly across her cheek like the kis» of unseen lipa. For the first time in her life atee felt th4 restless longing •PRIVATE INCOG plain of, to regret to wish for? ». Suddenly out of the hush came the e-.y of the whippoorwill, that piercing, mournful voice of the vacant, wind­ blown fields, of meadows flowering un­ seen and far away. It thrilled her like a -pain. It stabbed her through and through and cut her to the heart with Its questioning, solitary call, hidden in the twilight of the woods. She had heard it ao often, year after year, like the robin and the lark. Nev­ er hadjt sounded so lonely, so friend­ less and apart A strange longing swelled up in her breast1; tears filled her eyes. The years ot her life, with their simple tasks, their ambitions, hopes and dreams, came to her like some vast tidal wave upon a sunny shore, withdrawing in a long resound­ ing sigh at the absence of some un­ known joy. She stared through the warm darkness toward the edge of the woods outlined against the evening as though one should try to read'the soul of a silhouette. Then she dropped her face in her bands for a single minute. At 0 o’clock in the morning Mary was In the garden picking the vegeta­ bles for dinner. The sunshiny, dew fresh day, the beans and cabbages in their prim symmetry, the tall scarlet hollyhocks nodding against the fence, made the experience of the night be­ fore very remote and visionary. As Mary reached the end of the row of peas she pushed back her sunlwnnet and looked up; then her song stopped ami she knelt silently. A young man was standing on the other tide of the garden wall looking st her. He blushed as be met her steady, smiling gaze. “Picking pens?” lie asked.

In the south chamber Jrtsv under the attic her sister-in-law had been putting her children to l>ed. the creak, creak of the rocking chair as it swayed over an uneven board dimly audible through the silent hopse. Id the attic under the roof slept her little brother Bob, dreamless, tired and contented at the end of his long sum­ mer day. Down in the kitchen yard the turkeys and chickens had gone to roost iu the apple trees and the grape arbor, cluck­ ing aud twittering in sleepy protest against the awkward ones as they set­ tled themselves together.

The author is Miss Doris Keablee, who un­ til recently was a resident of this city. One “dark and stormy night when the rain was falling fast.” a lonely traveler was plodding along a forest road In the southern part of Germany. -He had that dav and judgwal*etl mar»y miie8 < a ing from his weary expression, and the manner in which he shifted the weight of his knapsack from one shoulder to the other, he was very tired. lie bsd been looking for some habitation where he could find shelter for the night. After going on for a short dis­ tance, he suddenly saw a little light twiqkling quite a way off. Hastening his footsteps he soon reached what seemed to be the ruins of an old castle. It was from one of the apertures in the wail that the faint light he had seen, issued. He knocked, but received no answeriJwldly entering, he found him­ self in what had been at one time the central hall, but was now, from the general appearance of things, the eat­ ing, Bleeping and living room of the oc­ cupant or occupants. Ou a small table placed midway of the hall was a candle, some dishes containing food, and a tall bottle of wine. This table, a few Hide chairs and a shake-down of- hay, were the only articles of furniture visible in the flickering light of the caudle. He called loudly once or twice, and having received no answer, the traveler drew a chair up to the table and began to eat. He was very hungry and for some time no sound was heard but his noisy mas­ tication of the food before him. After he had eaten and drunk all he wished he leaned back in his chair with a con­ tented smile. “Well, whoever was good enough to provide this meal. I heartily thank him: he certainly had good taste in wine,” and he again rais­ ed the bottle to his lips. At this mo meat the door opened and an old dwarf entered. The traveler was so taken up with the wine, that he did not notice the little old fellow, who stood as if fastened to the spot with amazement to see this stranger drink his wine. “Yes, I will say again that this is the best wi ne I ever tasted,” he remarked removing the glass from his lips. See­ ing the queer figure by the door he started up crying, “are you the owner of this place, or are you a traveler like myself, seeking shelter from the storm? If you are the owner, permit me to pay you for the excellent entertainment to which I have helped myself ; also kind-. ly give me a bed for the night” At- this the dwarf, stepping forward, replied in guttural German, “who are you, and why are you traveling about in this season?” “I am an American artist,” replied the other in good German, “and. ipst my way in this confounded country; hope you don’t object to my staying all night if I pay you for your trouble.” Thfc dwarf hesitated for a moment and then replied, “No, I don’t object, that is, if you don't mind sleeping in a dungeon; I have no other place.” The artist was taken back at this, but assured his host that he did not care, just so be could be sheltered and could rest The dwarf grinned and said, *T am not so sure about the last, but I will answer for the first.” Then taking the candle he preceded the artist down a long flight of rough hewn stone steps, and at last arrived at a strong iron bound door; swinging this open the dwarf told him that there was his apartment: after giving him the candle the dwarf ascended the stone steps and disappeared in the darkness. Left tot himself the artist was at leisure to examine his celt IU walls and floor were of stone, and, try as he might, he could find no other door or means of communication but the one by which he had entered. There were two or three large iron rings in the floor which had bits of chain still fastened to them. In one corner was a stone bench on which he was to sleep. He extinguished his candle and th rowing himself upon hA rude bed was soon in rt this point the artirt gawd attbeghort with »we and revewx* “I fCenlfaurt from first prtrtl make a tonx ol* iermany.

Burton &amp; Co. were listed as the proprietors of the "Republican Banner", which first appeared here on May 1, 1856, with Dr. C. S. Burton as the publisher and Norman Bailey as editor.<br /><br />Publication office was on the second floor of the Rower Block, whose address was given as "corner of State and Church"; which corner was not specified.<br /><br />The objective of this publication was to win support for the newly created Republican party and thus counteract the influence of the Barry County Pioneer, a Democratic journal that had been published here since 1851. No copies of the first three issues of The Banner were saved.<br /><br />Make-up on the first journal corresponded with a pattern typical of most local journals then published. Page one contained a few columns of advertising, fiction (often a continued story), and a short feature of no particular news value. Page one was the "literary" page.<br /><br />Page two contained the editorial barbs, along with state news, political articles, Washington items and news of the national and territorial giovernments. Page three contained a few items of local news, sandwiched inbetween the local and foreign news.<br /><br />Page four was usually solid with advertising and as such was the editor's "bread and butter" page....Locally it was the pattern until the early 1880s.<br /><br />Several changes in ownership and management occurred during the first two years of publication, with J. M. Nevins taking over ownership interests on July 16, 1857. With the issue of May 7, 1862, "The Republican Banner" became "The Hastings Banner". Editor Nevins thought the village had developed sufficiently during the past several years to merit this recognition.<br /><br />Another major change in the management of The Banner came when Nevins sold the newspaper to George M. Dewey of Niles on March 14, 1866, who then took over as editor and publisher. Dewey, an ardent Republican and somewhat of a crusader, gave considerable space to editorial comment and party affairs and also directed pointed paragraphs against the saloons and local traffic in liquor. Dewey was the grandfather of Thomas E. Dewey, Republican presidential nominee in 1944 and 1948. Editor Dewey on May 4, 1870 changed the format (and name) of the paper to "Hastings Republican Banner". <br /><br />A fire in December 1883 burned The Banner plant (located in the middle of the block on the north side of State St. across from the courthouse). Files and back issues from August 1880 to December 1883 and the January 4, 1884 issues are missing.<br /><br />The Banner was purchased by Marshall L. Cook and George Bower on July 21, 1880. They changed the name to "The Hastings Banner". M. L. Cook soon became the sole owner and remained so until July 7, 1887 when Albert Nishern (M. L.'s brother-in-law) joined him. Albert Nishern sold his interest on November 6, 1889 to William Cook (M. L.'s younger brother).<br /><br />The Cook brothers partnership held together (56 years) ... Richard Cook followed his father into the newspaper business, and Richard's son William joined him. So the Cook family ownership continued for 85 years, from 1880 to 1974, when Richard and William sold the paper to High Fullerton. J-Ad Graphics became the owners of "The Hastings Banner" in August of 1981. Text A resource consisting primarily of words for reading.
