The best thing we have found for thin people, whatever the cause of the thinness, is Vinol. It seems to nourish at once, and also to start an appetite for good food. It was a great discovery to combine the medicinal properties of cod liver oi! with organic iron in sueh a powerful and yet pleasant-tastingpreparation, and we'll be glad to tel! you how we got hold of it, if you’ll call at the store. Any­ how, if you are thin, and want more flesh and strength, try a bottle of Vinol. If you aren't pleased, we pay the money back. Remember fat doesn't create fat; so you don’t need the greasy kind of cod liver oil to increase weight. Vinol is better and tastes delicious. A WOMAN PASTOR. | ry a.

I can give you a few minutes.” “Oh. thank you.” said Dorothy po­ litely. “It Is about that position in the Hilton school." Cyril stared in surprise. What could this little, old fashioned girl have to say about that? It would be interest­ ing to know. He pushed his papers farther away and leaned back In his i j furtlv. _ . latter put on overcoat hat and gloves. It was the first time within his knowl­ edge that Cyril bad set aside an impor­ tant matter. What had happened? The lawyer walked on with rapid stride. There was in the air a sugges­ tion of the spring which was not yet near. On the corner an organ grinder was playing popular airs. A little farther on a flower vender was offering bou­ quets of violets for sale. The scent of the flowers floated up to him, and tbe memories awakened earlier In the day by a pair of childish eyes were again stirred. Cyril bought one of the fragrant purple clusters, fastening It in the lapel of hla coat with a smile. When bad be done such a thing? As be walked along his glance fell upon a lamppost bearing the name “Rose Crescent” ’ A sudden remembrance came to him of his little visitor of the morning. That was where she had said she lived. He recalled his promise to do what he could for her aunt Why not call upon her and find out her fitness for the position? He paused to glance up and down the street But the child had not told him her aunt's name or their number. Then it was useless to consider it further. Still ho would lihu to please that child. 11c was walking ou when he heard a flying of small, feet behind him and his mine called.

It is true that weeds grow rapidly in wet weather and that they frequently hide the grass from sight and smother it so It cannot grow. But every farmer has a mowing machine, and these machines will mow weeds. If the grass divider Is taken off so that tbe weeds as cut will be evenly distributed and the cut­ ter bar is set to the highest notch, then tbe weeds mown will make a One mulch for the grass and will soon wither away and settle to the ground, and the timothy and clover will grow all the more luxuriously for the mulch and for the clipping of the tops, will thicken, take a flrm root hold of tbe ground, and the pasture will again be a thing of beauty and of profit, with the weeds counted out for the season.— Creamery Journal.

Many children are poisoned and made nervous and weak, if not killed out­ right, by mothers Riving them cough syrups containing opiates.

Tbe new substitute Is called coalite and, it Is aald. can be manufactured so as to retail at |1 per ton.

It ia said for tbe product that It la clean, lasting and produces heat equal to coal* A clear, blue smoko is emitted by tbe coalite, and the ash left after the burning is similar in appearance to that left by a cigar.

Tbe process of manufacture is so simple that a child can mix it up to tbe proper consistency if given the ingredients.

This sago observation leads the New Idea Mag axlne to further remark as follows: Old fashioned feather beds are sti 1 found in many country homes and arhighly prised by their owners, but they bars been entirely superseded in city houses by the hair mattress. No mattress filling is so comfortable and dtreble as horsehair, and none is so ex pensive. The wool mattress usually sold contains flyings, scraps and even rags torn up and packed in. They are usually quite comfortable at first, but soon become hard, and unless there are good springs underneath them they make a very poor bed. Mattresses that are made in two sections are pref, -a ble to the full sized ones for large dou­ ble beds. Feather pillows that are in constant use should be aired at leant once a month; pinned to a clothesline and beaten with a whip, then left ex­ posed to the fresh air for several hours. A shady place should be chosen, bo cause sunshine is apt to draw the oil out of the feathers and give them a disagreeable smell. An excellent plan for preserving bed­ ticks from dost and dirt is to inclose them in a case of unbleached muslin. Make this slip a little larger each way than the tick and sew It up on both sides and at tbe top. Hem the lower edges, work five buttonholes at regular Intervals on one side and put the but­ tons on the other side to correspond. This slip can be removed and washed when needed, thus keeping tbe bed clean. Cover the pillows In the same way, put the white muslin slip over it. and the stripes of tbe ticking will not show through. Pillows that are In constant use n quire a thorough cleaning every year. Empty the feathers oiit Into an oid tick or sack, tying them securely. If the ticking of the pillows Is new. do not fnd« th? colors by boiling It, but put It In a strong suds made by dis­ solving any sort of washing powder in hot water. Allow It to soak for fifteen minutes and then rub It on a wash board or In a washing machine and pass It through a wringer. Prepare a second suds and proceed in the same way, rinsing through two clear waters, turning It tbe wrong side out and bang­ ing It out to dry. The proper size for pillows Is about 21 by 27 inches.

Great difficulty is experienced in clear­ ing the head and throat. No wonder catarrh causes headache, impairs the taste, smell and hearing, pollutes the breath, deranges the stom­ ach and affects the appetite. To cure catarrh, treatment must be constitutional—alterative and tonic. -I was afflicted with catarrh.

The common council at Ironwood proposes to grant a franchise to a local capitalist to establish a gas plant. The franchise runs for twenty years and allows the concern to charge $1.75 a thousand feet for illuminating gas and 81.25 for fuel gas.

Since the old mill pond went away there has been no safe or decent place for the boys to skate that is at all con­ venient to the city. About the only place to skate on is the river which is usually frozen only along the edges and is always unsafe, owing to the under­ currents which cut the ice from under­ neath. None of the boys have as yet been drowned, but a fatal accident may be expected any day from skating on the river. This city could provide a good skating place at very little ex­ pense by flooding the fair grounds or some of the low lands with city water and allowing it to freeze.

W THE FENCE QUESTION * has grown to be one of the moat important questions of today among the farmers and what is important to you is equally important to us, hence we have made a careful study as to the requirements of fence users and we find that a fence must have the following good features in order to meet their ap­ proval. ih Ui 2 That will stand ordinary as well as hard usage. That will not sag in the summer’s heat nor break in the cold of winter. That is made of the beet material for fencing purposes. That has stays that will not slip, nor cannot be moved oat of plaoe. That will conform to the most uneven ground and can be er­ ected over hills and through valleys as well as on level ground. That has no slack wires to spoil the appearance as well aa the efficiency of the fence. That does not require an expert to erect it That is low in price. With all these requirements in mind we have selected from the vast number of fences made today, one that is known as The Pittsburg' Perfect Fence ThU fence meeta it is what you wa what you will no low.

Clayton Busby left Thursday for Rock Island, HL. where he has secured a lucrative position with the Modern W oodmen Insurance Co. It has long been a time honored joke that many presents to those of the masculine persuasion have been di­ verted from the purposes for which they were intended, but only once have we known of a woman mistaking the real purpose of a Christmas gift. This young lady is a resident of this city and she prides herself npon her up-todatenea and general “You’ll have to show me” attitude. Listen to the tale of her undoing. On going to her stocking Christmas morning she found among the other dainty treasures a bag wonderfully and fearfully constructed, it might have been anything, or it might have been nothing.

Dr. Davidson was offered the primacy in 1896 onk the death of Dr. Temple’s predecessor, but he declined on account of poor health. Since the great coal strike, inventive genius has been turning its thoughts particularly to finding something to take the place of coal as fuel or lessen the amount necessary to'furnish a re­ quisite degree of heat: It is reported that no less tnan 1,281 patents for the use of oil as fuel have been granted this year, and 2,700 for use of gas and vapors. It is expected congress will pass a bill removing the duty of 67 cents a ton on coal imported into this country. This bill may take the form of a rebate or drawback for 90 days and also will provide for reciprocity, admitting free of duty coal imported into this coun­ try from countries granting the same privilege to the United States.

Utzler and is now enabled through the courtesy of the Johnstown, Penn., “Tribune” to present to its readers an accurate and reliable account of the brute’s former life although the fact that bls family has gone to seed aud that a number of his stories have been proven false makes it difficult to obtain facts. In the first place the mauls a monu­ mental liar even as to his name which as nearly as can be proven is not Mat­ thias at all but rather Charles W. Utz­ ler, who was the son of Mr. and Mrs. William W. Utzler, of Coopersddle, a suburb of Johnstown. Another one of his lies is nailed by the fact that his mother died at Coopersdale in 1888 of a natural death and not in the Johnstown flood as he told a Banner representa­ tive duriug his imprisonment here in the county jail. Lt is said that up to the time of his mother’s death be had been merely au ordinary boy aud kad developed none of the traits of the beastly depravity which he afterwards showed. After the death of his mother, iiowever, he developed habits and traits which lead hia old acquaintances to say that they have no doubt lut that Charles Utzler is the Matthias H. Utz­ ler who is now doing a life sentence in Jackson lor the brutal murder of Mrs. Garrison. Among his various objection­ able traits, which he developed, was an ■ abso'ute refusal to work and a conse­ quent fall into all sorts of trouble. Finally in 1895 seven years aft^r his mother’s death he left Johnstown for iI parts unknown. I A few years after be left Johnstown ■ ; his relatives heard of his being convict­ ed in Allegheny County of some crime for which he was said to have served two years in the penitentiary. This however, was after J895 and not in 1889 as he told the Banner, nor did he give his right name this time, which ac­ counts for the fact that nu record of his incarceration can be found. Three years ago when his father died the other members of the family tried iu every way possible to locate Charles Utzler but in vain. Since he left his home in Johnstown seven year's ago, members of the family say they knew nothing of his whereabouts barring the vague rumors of his peneteutiary term, until they learned from the columns of the Banner that a man giving his name as Matthias H. Utzler bad been arrested and convicted of the horrible crime of last month. None of his rela­ tives evinces any surprise at his dis­ graceful end as he had already, when in Johnstown developed all the quali­ :ties of the degenerate which he is. WHOLE, NO. 2475.

He concluded with saying: "The ministry, on the brink of its second century, is thus preparing to face the complicated problems with unshaken confidence In its strength.” The antl-cholera measures taken in regard to the Manchurian railroad will j be abolished on Jan. 14.

Its effect he has himself de­ scribed in these words: "The coffee fails into your stomach. Immediately everything starts into ac­ tion. Your ideas begin to move like Grand Army battalions on the battle­ field, and the battle opens. Memories arrive at a run, standards flying; the Light cavalry of comparisons breaks Into a magnificent gallop; the artillery of logic dashes up and unlimbers; thoughts come rushing up as sharp­ shooters; characters spring up'on all sides; tbe paper becomes covered with Ink, for the struggle has begun and ends In torrents of black water like tbe battle In black powder.” So prevalent is tbe prejudice against the number 13 that car companies in many cities have been obliged to omit it, as tbe car bearing it did not "earn its living."

Perhaps the most expensive banquet ever given in Venice was that to Henry III. of France. He was feasted in the great ball of the doges’ palace, and there were silver plates for 3,000 guests. At another time the same monarch was entertained at a sugar banquet—tbe napkins, plates, knives, forks and even the bread (so called) were all of sugar. The Venetians were mightily pleased when Henry took his napkin In his bands and to his sur­ prise found that it broke to pieces. At this feast 1,200 different dishes were served, and 300 sugar effigies were distributed among tbe ladles. Cultured Mother—My dear, your sis­ ter Clara Is an amateur pianist.

We have every reason to look with satisfaction upon the busi­ ness record of the year just closed. The year’s large sales cannot be ascribed to favorable weather, for we had a cold summer and a late antumn. Yet there was a general increase in trade throughout the year, showing an increase of over 38 per cent Two years in our new quarters have proved to us that we made no mistake in changing, and believe our customers feel the same way as they have already sub­ stantially shown in their very generous patronage. One of the most striking features of the year has been the marked growth in the demand for a higher graije of merchandise, notably in dry goods. The calico trade is languishing while wash goods at 20, 30. 50 cents are in common demand. A few years ago fifty pieces of print cloths at 5 cents were sold to every ten pieces at 20 to 50 cents. Now it is reversed. The same is true of Embroid­ eries and Laces. The demand for better goods is felt in all lines. In a very short time, (perhape before the next issue) we will be receiving our spring lines of Embroideries, Laces, Wash Dress Goods and Muslin Underwear, and in their selection have taken special care that they shall be the daintiest, prettiest and latest designs that the market affords at the prices.

Bf REPRESENTATIVE SLAYDEN Says Some Mexican Consulates Are Asylums For “Invalids and Drunk ardt»__American Flag Bold For Pur­ pose of Means to Purchase Drinks. Washington, Jan. 20.-—The house transacted considerable business Mon day. Several miscellaneous measures were passed; among them the senate Hawaiian Are claims bill. The con­ sular and diplomatic appropriation bill, the third of the regular budgets, was passed, and fair progress was made with the District of Columbia appropriation bllL During con«M«™' tlon of the diplomatic bill, Mr. McClel­ lan (N. Y.) precipitated a discussion concerning our diplomatic and consu­ lar service which took a wide range and led to some rather scandalous charges against our consular repre­ sentatives in Mexico by Mr. Slayden (Texas). Mr. McClellan submitted figures to show that our consulates, compared with those of other firstclass countries, were under paid but overmanned. Mr. Grosvenor (Ohio) declared the charges against our con­ sular officials were unjustified, main­ taining that It was the opinion of Eu­ ropean publicists that we had the most efficient consular service In the world. Mr. McClellan’s remarks led to con­ siderable debate. Mr. Slayden (Tex.) criticised very severely the character of our consular officers abroad, espe dally some of those in Mexico. Some of the Mexican consulates, he said, were made regular asylums for “in­ valids and drunkards." “It makes an American blush." said he, “to hear the stories that are told of some of our official representatives." Proceeding, he narrated bow a United States con­ sul at Saltillo, Mexico, with two com­ panions last summer entered the of­ fice of a newspaper editor to assault him. "Were any charges made to the state department against this official?" asked Mr. Adams (Pa.). "Charges have been repeatedly made." replied Mr. Slayden. "This particular official left town between night and morning while I was in the city.’’ The particular vice of our rep­ resentatives. Mr. Slayden proceeded to say. seemed to be drunkenness. He related one Incident where two consuls pawned an American flag for 40 cents with which to secure drinks. Several Democrats Will Vote for a Party Man.

If posalble. never use brass, copper or tin uten­ sils. as the action of the add on these metals often produces a poison. If brass or copi»er is used—and our grand­ mothers had nothing else—the most scrupulous cleanliness is necessary. The metal ought to be polished so one can sec one’s face in it If it is neces wry to purchase a vessel, choose por­ celain or granite ware, which is easily cleaned and absolutely safe unless the enamel wears off; then the Iron to as dangerous as copper. Uss the best, ci­ der or white wine vinegar. Never boil it|more than from five to seven min­ utes or its strength will be reduced. Pack pickles away in glass or stone jars that are perfectly clean. See that pickles are always well covered with vinegar. Watch their condition closely for a week or two, and if they show symptoms of not keeping pour away the liquor about them; then cover with fresh vinegar and spices. When ground spices are used, tie them In tiny muslin bags. Keep pickles sealed as tightly as fruit, and when a few have been used from a jar or can cover closely again. Put a bit of horseradish root Into each jar. This will aid much In the keeping of. pickles. With these rules Good Housekeeping prefaces a number of recipes. Including the fol­ lowing: Sweet Pickled Cucumbers.—For this liekle the larger sized, ripe cucumbers are generally the most suitable. Cut them Into quarters lengthwise and al­ low them to stand for twenty-four hours covered, with vinegar. Drain them and put Into a stone jar. Boll to­ gether for, five minutes one quart of fresh vinegar, two pounds of light brawn sugar, one tablespoonfnl of salt and an ounce of cassia buds. IMur over th]i cucumbers and cover closely. Cucumlier Pickles.—Always pick cu­ cumbers In the early morning or late at [night. Gathering them under a hot sun often proves a deathblow to the vines. Choose the smallest cucumbers anld absolutely perfect ones. Put a lay­ er of cucumbers In a glass jar and scatter through them fine strips of horseradish root Mix a gallon of vine­ gar with half a gallon of water, add to It one cup of salt and pour it cold over the packed cucumbers. Fill the Jar overflowing and seal immediately. This recipe, which Is quite different from any offered in the cookbooks, Is origi­ nal with the principal of the New Eng­ land Cooking school, and tbe result is perfection. Miss Downing claims thnt brine and a strong vinegar make pic­ kles strong enough to take one’s breath away, white tbe spices and sugar so often added to boiling vinegar result In a pickle withered to the heart. There Is the advantage of not having to trou­ ble with preliminary soaking in brine, boiling of vinegar and all tbe unnec­ essary work often incurred. Tbe mix­ ture of vinegar and salt, if not all re­ quired immediately, may be kept tight­ ly corked arid used as cucumbers ripen, filling a jar every few days as the vines are laden with fruit Mixed Pickles.—For mixed pickles one may put together cauliflowers cut In flowers, button onions, tiny cucum­ bers, string beans cut In two, nastur­ tium seeds, small peppers, lima beans, morsels of watermelon rind and green tomatoes cut In slices. Drop them into scalding strong brine and allow them to cook in It: for a few minutes, dip out with a skimmer and drain in a colan­ der till quite dry. Pack into jars, and over each pour a prepared pickle made by boiling with one quart of vinegar two tablespoonfuls of sugar, a tea­ spoonful of salt and four tablespoon­ fuls of mustard. Pour over the pickles while hot and seal immediately. FAULTS IN BUTTER. Dan Blsuer, in an address before the Wisconsin Butter Makers’ association, said: Let os bear In mind,’ first, that milk is naturally a pure product, and if it to found to be unclean chances are that It is not the fnifft of the cow. Some person’to to blame, either the one who cares fur the cow or the one who han­ dles the milk. In order to make a flno flavored butter the milk must be in first class condition when taken into the creamery. There are some, how­ ever, who get good milk and then can­ not make a fleet class articlq of butter. Of suqh it must be said the fault is not In the milk, bnt in tbe man or his tools. If the buttermaker has his creamriry disinfected with antiseptic, which to applied muscle and brush, be can In that way prevent the development of foreign germ life. The cream should be ripened by giving it the desired amount of acid and no more. 1 churn the cream at 80 c. c, at a temperature of 54 to degrees. We have many complaints that the butter conies soft at a temperature of 54 to 56 degrees. My experience with different churns has been that in the process of churning the temperature runs higher, varying from 2 to 5 de­ grees. My way of testing the churn to to put about the same amount of wa­ ter as I have cream to churn, take the temperature and churn about as long I do tbe cream, then take the tem­ perature again, and this tells me the temperature the cream should be when put into tbe churn. The salting and working the butter to another important matter. Many butter makers hold to the theory that the quicker it is salted and worked so much the better will be the quality of the product. This to a mistake. The salt must have time to do its work. Work the butter about a minute, then let tt stand alxuit fifteen; after this take out a sample ou a ladle, examine it clcoely. and you will find a drop of buttertoilk and water hanging to each kernel of suit. Work it again for an­ other minute and let it stand another fifteen; then take out a chunk, and you will find that the drop of butter­ milk and water has increased in size. Butter should be worked about fiv«> minutes and not to exceed one minute at any time. By this method the salt has plenty of time to do its work and take the most of the unnecessary but­ termilk and water out of the butter. In tbe matter of rancid butter my ex­ perience tenches me thnt the trouble lies in the butter containing too much buttermilk and being poorly packed. The causes of mottles are many. They may be caused by not properly strain­ ing the crerm. Another cause is wash­ ing the butter with water which to not of tbe same temperature as the butter. If we were to raise a hbifer calf to make a dairy cow, the first thing would be to select the calf from some cow that was productive of milk or batter, whichever we decided that we wished to make our main product. We would want the sire of the calf a pure bred animal from a family that was produc­ tive in the same line. If we could have the cow also pure bred, we should like tt better, and often men who hare such good cows, keeping them because they like a good cow, and not caring to raise up a herd, are willing to sell tbe calves at a nominal price or even to give them away. Probably the best Jersey cow that ever stood In Massachusetts was given away as > calf, as the party who Ste«M«a l«uuh Gratia.

They were kept three years without yielding any prof­ it, and many of them did not in the next three either.

An experiment lu this direction was made at the New York experiment station, and the result was such that the use of oyster shells during the laying season, w’bere they can be cheaply obtained, was strongly recommended. It was found there that one pound of oyster shells contained sufficient lime for the shells of about seven dozen eggs. Shells are not the only source for the lime necessary for eggshells. Bones also contain a. large percentage of lime, as Is seen from the following analysis of clean, dry bones of oxen and sheep: ■ t Ptr ctnt- ‘There is only one I feature of an ac tor which will ‘give!him away’ when disguised tn a perfect makeup.” re­ marked a young act$r, ‘ and that fra ture is tbe teeth.

Four and wi» married One of the saddest accidents which it has been our lot to chronicle occurred about two miles south of Shultx Satur- day afternoon when Mrs. Lee McDonaid mistook strychnine for quinine and took some of the deadly drug herself at the same time giving a dose to her three year old daughter, thus causing the death of both mother and daughter. It seems that for some time past, both Mrs. McDonald and her daughter had been ill with the grippe. Saturday afternoon she felt a trifle worse than usual and about two o’clock she .went into the pantry Adjoining the kitchen to get some quinine which was kept in a medicine chest on a shelf some six feet from the floor. This chest which was about ten inches long by six wide, was filled wiih all kinds of poisonous drugs such as nux vomica, belladonna and aconite. In the front row was a bottle of strychnine with a red label and a similar bottle with a blue label, containing quinine. These bottles stood side by side and the probabilities are that Mrs. McDonald felt sure of the position of the quinine bottle and reached for it without noticing the la­ bel. Then still under the same false impression she poured a quantity of the drug into a piece of paper, making a little bolus which she gave to her daughter together with a drink of water to aid in swallowing the pellet. She then administered a similar dose to herself also drinking a quantity of water. The water served to quicken the action of the drug by unloosening the paper and it was not long before Mrs. McDonald noticed that her daughter, whose name was Mildred, was very ill. Not knowing the cause she called her husband who was work­ ing out of doors. Several of the neigh­ bors also came to her assistance but in a short time, about 2:30 p. m., the little girl expired in the arms of one of the daughters of Charles Kenyon who liv^ about forty rods from the McDonald home. During this time Mrs. McDon­ ald had also become ill aud had gone to the door to get some fresh air. There she was taken with vomiting and had to bo carried into tbe sitting room by her husband. Here she was seized by a second fit of vomiting after which hor husband asked her what she had taken. She replied: “Nothing but some quinine.” When asked where the bottle was she said it could be found on the safe In the pantry. Mr. McDon­ ald went and secured the bottle and showed her that it was strychnine. With the remark that if it was she had taken enough to kill her, she fell into another vomiting fit and died at 2:45. Sunday morning Coroner Lathrop was summoned and drove to the scene accompanied by Sheriff Cortright and Prosecutor Walker. A coroner’s jury consisting of Chas. A. Kenyon. Arthur Johncox, Ray Pierce, W. H. Gaskin, Geo. Hudson, Sr., and W. E. Harrison, was quickly impannolled. After view­ ing the body they adjourned until nine o’clock yesterday morning when they met in the Supervisor’s room at the court house and after listening to considerable testimony brought in a verdict that the two sad deaths were caused by a dose of strychnine accid­ entally administered by Mrs. McDon­ ald. .

The furniture con­ sists almost invariably of cane seated chairs and settees, or tropical wood, in which rocking chairs predominate. I have seen only one set of upholstered furniture on the island and that was in a hundred thousand dollar mansion at Mantanzas in which I was a guest for a week last year. I have seen many costly mirrors and elegant wardrobes, bureaus, tables and other articles In the house of the old Spanish families. The walls are often decorated with fine specimens of the handiwork of the feminine portion of the family and with paintings, photographs, etchings, etc. The floors are all of cement or tiles of various degrees of costliness, according to the Unancia) ability and tastes of the head of the family, as in the case of the furniture. 1 have never seen a board floor in a city residence in Cuba, among the hundreds that have met my observation. There is prob­ ably not an exception to the rule that these houses are built around a patio or space that is left open to the sky and which affords a convenient space for a fountain or a group of tropical plants aud flowers in the center, most of the ground in this area being cov­ ered with lite which slopee impercepti­ bly toward a drain whence the water goes when II rains. All city houses are built flush with the sidewalks and close together as in the case of stores in American cities. This affords no front’ yard, and the patio is the only open space connected with some resi­ dences, others having a garden in the rear. The doors are heavy and sub­ stantia) and are usually double, as in the case of stores or barns in the states. The windows consist of openings in the walls which extend from within a Q K.

The Evangelists are holding a series of protracted meeting. It is impossible to keep human na­ ture at a tension forever. Tbe snap must follow, and consequently it should occasion no surprise that new apostles have arisen, preaching the gos­ pel of good cheer, insisting upon hap­ piness as a natural element of being and merriment as an Important part of Its expression, says a writer in the Boston Cooking School Magazine. Ac­ cording to the writer, the new gospel, which is being more and more general­ ly accepted, means social and family regeneration. It stands for a more perfect understanding between Indi­ viduate, a unity of purpose, a new sympathy of endeavor and a better and deeper affection based upon n clearer knowledge ot one another’s traits and characteristics— that Is, of course, Where it is taken at Its best and finest There is another side, which develops quite the opposite qualities, and one of the flrat lessons which one has to learn is that there is all the difference in the world between having fun with the.members of one’s own family or one's friends and mak­ ing fun of them. The one Is a delight in which all share alike; the other te a cruelty which causes one person morti­ fication and pain, while the others are hardened in spirit and coarsened in mind by the very ability to enjoy ’the suffering which they inflict. The ability to see the humorous side of a domestic hardship and to smile when the) first impulse te to scold or cry Is one of the most fortunate pos­ sessions of a house mother and has saved the situation for her many and many a time. What threatened to be tragedy, or at least melodrama, has re­ solved Itself Into pure comedy, and the recital of It in the new phase in family conclave has been a source of unalloy­ ed mirth when, bad It' been presented as it first appeared, it would have cast a pall over every spirit A sense d of humor is a saving grace, and, where one does not jjossess it as a natural gift, It should be carefully cul­ tivated, add that is by no means impos­ sible. If th«?re Is one member of the family who cannot comprehend a joke or see the point to a story unless a din­ gram accompanies it, by all means fur­ nish the diagram. By and by it will be no longer I needed. Sometimes this un­ appreciative member refuses to accept tbe mental handicap and makes believe to enjoy all the jokes, because she will □ot admits that she is at all lacking in that which tbe rest of the family pos­ sesses to such a degree. In one family there Isa standing joke of such venerable age that it te entitled to respectful consideration. Ever since the family; was, it lias been brought out on occasion and rehearsed for the ben­ efit of guests. Everybody always laughed at It, one of the young daugh­ ters the most heartily of alb What was the surprise of the family when, one day after the guests had gone, she said. •‘I have heard that story of father’s for ten years, ever since I was a little girl, but I never saw the point until today.” There Was a general exclamation. "But nobody has laughed over it as you have!” "To be sure," was the reply. "Did you think II was going to confess my­ self the fool of the family?’ One goe!} out of a fun loving family In a better mood to meet the trouble­ some side of life. The memory of the laughter, the gay good nature and the cheer of the breakfast table, the genu­ ine good morning that makes all day good, help one over many a hard spot, and. while it does not take from the se­ riousness of a really grave situation, It gives one courage to meet it more bravely and to fnce it more steadfastly. One carrot, two turnips, three email onions, large head of celery, a bunch of parsley.; Cut up all the vegetables and add a pint of water, salt, pepper, two cloves, three peppercorns, two small lumps of sugar. Boil for an hour or more, thru add a pint of milk and boil for three-quarters of an hour; strain, thicken with a teaspoonful of cornstarch, reboil and serve. This makes a delicious economical soup for everyday dinners, but it look§ whiter if no water, but ail milk, is used and a little cream added just at the last.

Purest of EmaJUents wt Greatest of Skin Cures. The Most Wonderful Curative of All Time For Torturing, Disfiguring Humours. Cuticura Ointment Is beyond question the most successful curative for tortur­ ing, disfiguring humours of the skin and scalp, including loss of hair, ever com­ pounded, In proof of which a single anointing with it, preceded by a hot in the severer cases by a dose of CutL cura Resolvent Pills, Is often sufficient to afford immediate relief in the most distressing forms of itching, burning and scaly humours, permits rest and sleep, and points to a speedy cure whea all other remedies fail. It is especially so in the treatment of infants and chil­ dren, cleansing, soothing and healing the most distressing of infantile hamoon, and preserving, purifying sad Cuticura Ointment possesses, at tbe. same time,' the charm of satisfying the simple wants of the toilet, in caring for the akin, scalp, hair and hands from in­ fancy to age, far more effectually, agreeably and economically than tno most expensive of toilet emollients. Its “Instant relief for skin-tortured babies,” or ‘ ‘ Sanative, antiseptic cleans­ ing,” or “One-night treatment of the hands,” or “Single treatment of the hair,” or“ Use after athletics,” cycling, golf, tennis, riding, sparring, or any sport, each in connection with the use of Cuticura Soap, Is sufficient evidence of this. Millions now rely on Cuticura Soap, assisted by Cuticura Ointment, for pr<--> serving, purifying and beautifying the skin, for cleansing the scalp of crusts, scales and dandruff, and the stopping of falling hair, for softening, whitening and soothing red, rough and sore hands, for baby rashes.

This note, which the British ambas­ sador received shortly before 9 o’clock last night, ’•■as cabled at once to Lon­ : don. copies of it being transmitted to the Italian and German embassies for transmission to Rome and Berlin, it la in reply to the proposition submit­ ted at a joint conference of the nego- ' tiatore Monday afternoon by the Brit- > ish ambassador, that the allied pow­ ers be allowed two-thirds of 30 per cent of the customs receipts of the ports of La Gnaira and Porto Cabello, and that the United States and the other claimant nations, France, Bel glum, Holland, Denmark. Spain and Norway and Sweden content them selves with the remaining one-third ot this percentage, that is, 10 per cent of the receipts of these two ports. In the note received by the Brittan ambassador from Mr. Bowen last night the latter refuses point blank the prop- । oeition for a 20 and 10 per cent Jivision on the ground that to recognize I the principle It embodies would be ab solutely offensive to modern civiliza tlon. In view of the fact that the ne­ gotiators S’"* agreed on all save th? question of preferential treatment, tbe ambassador is Informed that Venezu- • ela has decided to submit that qu’estion to The Hague arbitration tribunal. I Acceptance of this proposition, Ven­ ezuela contends, carries with it a rais- | ing of the blockade. j It is understood that In refusing this , last proposition submitted by the Brit- | Ish ambassador, on behalf of the allies, i Mr. Bowen takes the ground that he I cannot accept in principle the conten­ tion that blockades and bombardments , of forts, and the consequent killing of helpleaa men. women and children entitlea any power, or alliance of pow- i era, to preferential treatment at the ’ I hands of a civilized nation.

St Valentine, the patron saint lovers, who was a martyr as well as a Christian bishop, lived in the reign of Marcus Aurelius Claudius. One of the gates of Rome, as well as the church of St Praxadee, was erected in bls honor. But a mere universal memorial to the good bishop’s name is that which he bestowed on the day of his martyrdom, the 14th of February. It doe® not really matter whether the historian and biographer are accurate In this state­ ment,-or whethen it Is merely tradition­ al, a pagan holiday left over from the Saturnalia or Lupercalia and Christian­ ized by a Saint’s name. The moat that reminds us in the way of obligation is the pretty custom of exchanging pres­ ents on that day and trying by signs and symbols to secure a peep into the kingdom of Cupid. . The custom of giving costly presents is a very old one and the famous Mr. Pepys in his diary, speaking of Miss Stewart’s valentine mentions the fact that the Duke of York "did give her a jewel of the value of 800 pounds.” The young people of England and Scotland engaged in a lottery by which they became possessed of the names of ladies and gallants by drawing. Some tact must have been observed in the conduct of the lottery, for each maid usually received the proper swain. It in believed that the first man whom a girl sees on St. Valentine's day is the one destined to be her hus­ band. Consequently the fair ladles who were interested in this decree of fate would arise and allow their maids to dress them without looking out of the window until such time as the Abigail would say, “Now, Madam,” which would be just as an eligible man came in sight.

The custom is said to be falling into disrepute, but Cupid’s weary, mortal postnpan could tell a different story, aa he toils from house to house with his arms laden with packages. Older peo­ ple make St. Valentine’s Day useful in the giving and receipt of gifts, each parcel being accompanied by a pretty card with some nice device inscribed upon it. While there are still numer­ ous designs .in the old fashioned lace, edged valentines of our childhood, which come to us from far off coun­ tries, "there are new and aesthetic ones suitable to the present age. Some of these are marvels of ingenuity and ^elegance: handkerchief cases in satin and velvet, bonbon boxes and curious ornamental devices with paintings on them that are really works of art. These are for the lads and lasses who have outgrown the "hearts and darts” period. The children too have been considered apd charming attractive valentine® are to be seen in abundance. The comic valentine still exists, but It is growing more and more into dis­ repute because it always ridicules and exaggerates some trait of character be­ longing to the person receiving the "hit ’em bard.” Ludricous stories are told of valen­ tines delivered in wrong localities or mixed so that the charming young lady gets an apology to a debtor and the debtor gets a loving missive that fills him with rage. "Alaa how Md a fate Is mine, l The poultnsu brought my valentine I opened It—ray heart begun To dance—It was a tailor’s date” The bashful lover may always bless the day of mating birds and pictured love, for what he asks for in fun he can demand in earnest at a later period. St. Valentine’s Day is only ob­ served now in England and America, but it will be a pity if it ever should become as a custom, obsolete. Its simple, innocent merrymaking, its ex­ change of mimic vows and harmless gifts as well as its pretty heritage of traditions make it a welcome date both in the calendar of the year and that of Cupid, to whom is assigned the happy duty of keeping green the memory of St. Valentine. * WHOLE NO. 2479. 1903. , Sauteroe Consomme Prlntanlere.

None of Them Are Dangerously Sick. A Strict Quarantine is Being Maintained. The Banner has always maintained, and still maintains, that when the city i® visited with a^contagious disease o* any character, it is poor policy to at­ tempt in any manner to keep the true facts from the public, as was charged daring the epidemic of diphtheria In. this city several years ago. Our zeal to give our readers the facts doubtless led us to refer to tbe small pox eases in our last issue in much stronger terms than the situation war­ ranted. The disease hi of a mild form and as for severity is not as dangerous as the epidemic of measles which visit­ ed this city last year. One or more deaths resulted from the measles, while with the smallpox no one is even dangerously 111. Statistics show that the death rate from smallpox in Michi­ gan is lees than from measles. This is doubtless due to general vaccination practiced, and to better sanitary con­ ditions which j)re vail now than pre­ vailed years ago, when smallpox was really a scourge. It is a^act that those who have never been vaccinated are having the disease harder than thwa who, in time® past.havejbeen vaccinated. The latter have the disease in a rery light form. With two or three excep excep-­ tions those who have^the disease are up and around the house, and would be out of doors were it not for the fact that they are quarantined and net per mitted to leave their homes. Up to this writing smallpox ha® < broken out in but two new families. A daughter of Mr. and Mrs. E. J. Edger came down Thursday sad Mrs. Frank Hams Monday. Up to this writing the following are the only ones whose house® are quar­ antined: Frank Nash Mr-. KateCBreva Mr*. Arnold Mrs. L A. McJntjre* Mrs. Wentworth—• Lee Hay Mrs. Carl Weripin ter Mm. F.

It would not be surprising if more cases should break out, but the health authorities have been very active in quarantining every inmate in all houeee in which the disease haa pre­ sented itself. Infany event there la nothing to be feared. This same form of smallpox has prevailedjaud^s now prevailing, not only in all parts ot this county, but in departs ot the slate as well.

His Influence, however, to in the direction of highway Improvement, and he is still ah able ally. The antomobUist has taken up the cause with greater energy than the bi­ cyclist and with an Influence more potent because of the longer purse strings at his command. Every automoblltot to an earnest ally of the move­ ment The farmer should, above all others, be the strongest ally of good roads be­ cause of the greater self Interest to him in their use for hauling his prod­ uce to market economically and at any season of the year when the market to the most favorable, says Good Roads Magazine. The problem, however, is not as yet properly understood and ap­ preciated by him, but it is encouraging to note the awakening that is surely in progress. He will be one of the strong­ est of allies as soon as he is made tt see how the road question affects his pocketbook and indeed bls entire ex­ istence. Good roads wherever built are their own best advocates, for it does not take a community long to see and ap­ preciate their value. Let more sample roads be built, for as a matter of edu­ cation they are better than theory, and nothing can do more real good. It should be but a short time before the period of forming public opinion is considered a thing of the past and the practical work of more extensive roadbulldlng be begun. The cause has most powerful allies, and these allies are growing in number and strength every day. VALENTINE MAKING. Tbe members of tbe Valentine club were holding a secret session in Mar­ gie's boudoir, and the room looked as if some fairy had transformed It Into a rainbow bower. Rather a disorderly fairy it must have been, for floor, ta­ bles, bed and chairs were strewn with bits of gay paper, and a cup of paste oc­ cupied a dangerous position on the win­ dow sill in company with a bottle of red Ink and Maude’s cherished box of gold point Do you want to know what tbe V. C.’s were making? Valentines! Margie measured the pretty colored papers and cut them Into squares, which were folded into quarters and the quarters Into triangles, these being TI7E FAVORTTEB. fretted by the deft hands that held the scissors Into all sorts of Intricate tra­ cery. Many pretty patterns were fash­ ioned. for the repetition made by the folding turns the most-awkward cut­ ting into a thing of beauty. Then they were pasted on a background of white, after which Maude decorated them with mottoes in gold. The chief favorites were made with little doors that folded back, revealing a picture In the center. For others the girls had cut out tiny doves of gold or silver paper and imsted them on. and Margie even attempted to cut a Cupid. Little Dot made the prettiest kind of a valentine on cardboard. With a few snips of the scissors Margie cut out for her a heart three Inches across from a piece of folded paper. Then she marked around It on a square of cardboard, put a small oblong In the center, pricked the outline, and it was all ready for Dot to do her share of the work, as she had been taught itiln the kindergarten. When she had sewed it around with blue silk and a stamp picture of Dot herself was pasted1 In the center of tbe oblong, it made as pretty a valentine as a flve-year-old’s friends could wish.— Designer. The question of improving mountain roads Is an important one and should receive Its proper amount of attention. Good wagon roads and good trails to ride and walk over are essential to tourists In this country who wish to behold the beauties of mountain scen­ ery. In Switzerland the Importance of this is realized, says Good Roads Mag­ azine, and roads have accordingly been improved. It is to be hoped that simi­ lar measures will be taken in this coun­ try. A Florida exchange makes the sug­ gestion tn its readers that the residents pf Eustis, in that state, hold a gala or good roads week, during which ns many aspowdble of tbe townspeople will take Ing It a sort of festival occasion, when the women will provide refreshments.

It is worse than useless to build good roads only to have them cut to pieces by the use of narrow tires in hauling heavy loads. Wide tires help to pre­ serve ordinary dirt roads and are there­ fore of the greatest value to them. To change at, once to wide tires would no doubt be a hardship on some owners of vehicles, says Good Roads Magazine, but this is a point that can be worked out and adjusted so that the expense will not be burdensome. Ve­ hicle owners should be educated to see that It Is to their interests to have wide tires, as the use of them makes fewer repairs necessary, thus reducing the expense of maintenance, and be­ sides enables larger loads to be hauled with the same number ot horses. Every state should pass a law mak­ ing wide tires compulsory. In France and other parts of Europe tires as wide as six inches are In use, and as the front axle Is shorter than the rear the load passing over the road gives twenty-four Inches of road roller sur­ face all the time. Let us have agitation on the subject and legislation will follow. Cutlcura Soap and Dressing* of Cutlcura, For Makins ide Hair Grow whu All Elsa Fails. AIDS ROADBUILDERS. The road material laboratory, which was established In December, 1900. in co-operation with the office of public raid Inquiries, tests road materials of all descriptions free of charge for prac­ tical roadbuilders throughout the coun­ try. says the secretary of agriculture in his annual report Those Interested In tbe construction of‘a road have only to send saxnples’uf their available materials to this labora­ tory and have the roadmaking qualities of these materials determined. In the case of materials for macadam roads the resistance of wear to rock, its ce­ menting value, hardness, toughness and abserptiveness are determined. After such tests are made it is possible to pre­ dict which material will give the best practical results under a given traffic. Only practical roadbuilders of much experience realize tbe large amount of money which can be wasted through an improper selection of material. There are generally several materials availa­ ble in every locality, and the difficulty of selecting the most suitable for a par­ ticular road Is evident The only way a proper selection can be made within a reasonable time to by means of phys­ ical and chemical laboratory testa. The laboratory is now equipped for the testing of road materials of every description as Well as cement and con­ crete for drains and highway bridges. The large number of samples received from all parts of the country. Including our island possessions, attest me value which practical roadbuilders place up­ on these laboratory tests.

ADDITIONAL LOCAL Two hundred years ago people bad ■mallpox as we have the measles, Jk) class was exempt From 1781 to 1805 in the city of Berlin, 3,422 people in a million died every year of this disease; today, thanks to a rigid system of vac­ cination, the rate is less than one in two millions. Our health laws are too lax In this matter of vaccination, and with a little more care op the part of health officers and more drastic legis­ lation. we ought to be able to lower the death rate from smallpox to Berlin proportion—Lake Odetsa Wave. Brother F. R. Gilson, the genial edit­ or of the Benton Harbor Palladium, shortly after returning home from the meeting of the Michigan State Press Association at Battle Creek, added a new title to his name, that of “Grandpa" All the honors that he has ever worn Vale into insignificance in comparison with this new title. The honor was ac­ quired through the advent of a son to •Mr. and Mrs. Roy Rolfe Gilson, of New York. Mr. Roy Gilson, though a young man, has won high honors in the liter­ ary field, having already brought out a couple of books that have attracted wide attention, besides contributing many short stories to some of the lead­ ing magazines of the country. We are pleased to extend congratulations to the proud parents, and have no doubt whatever but what the latest Gilson edition will be a “howling success." THE OLD RELIABLE During tbefyast week we have re­ ceived a great many post cards from persons requesting us to change their papers to the new rural routes. Many of these cards fail to state the present address and others neglect to give the number of the new route while two persons fail to sign their names. While we do not maintain a detective agency yet we bave'no'Soubt but what we might eventually trace the cards to their lawful owners. Nevertheless as we have no spare time to devote to these moat interesting pursuits we must respectfully decline to play the part of the famous Sherlock Holmes, and must request our suberibers to state plainly their present address and their name as well as their new ■ddress, if they desire the change to be made quickly.

The Macedonian revolutionary com­ mittee—whose stock in trade is the practice of disorders and enormities , quite as reprehensible as any Turkish misrule—has seized the opportunity for another outbreak the moment when the Austro-Russian project for reforms in the sultan’s European provinces is being urged upon the porte. It is ob­ viously out of the question for Abdul Hamid to apply autonomous reforma­ tory measures, either Turkish or Euro­ pean, to a district ablaze with the spirit of revolution, and this is pre­ cisely what the revolutionary commit­ tee sought to bring about. This com­ mittee does not want autonomy. It wants to drive the Grand Turk out of Europe. Abdul Hamid is at bay. His back is against the wall.

D Woodbeck, of Otsego. t Wierd stories without end have em anated from Barry county in the years past, but the latest and most truthful of all is that of a snake cave Aar Gun lake. In this gloomy cavern the walls and floor are said to be covered with snakes, varying in size from the small­ est wiggler just from his hatching place to the old-timer, with eyes filmy from age. John D. Woodbeck, a well-known druggist of Otsego, is authority for the story, although it Is vouched for by a number of Kalamazoo sportsmen who make frequent hunting and fishing trips to Gun lake. Near Orangeville is this cave which is known for miles around as the win­ ter home of all the snakes in that vicin­ ity. The slimy reptiles hibernate there and outside of the cave may be found many discarded skins of the creeping things as they emerge from their win­ ter quarters. Beautifully tinted shades of blue, green and black are scattered all about the narrow entrance to this hole in the ground which excites terror among the women and children and erven among men in this sparsely popu­ lated district. Snake cave is located five miles from the Kalamazoo club S.ouse at Gun lake towards Orangeville on the bank of a trout stream which is the delight of all fishermen. James Chapman's farm ad­ joins the cave. The entrance to the cavern is jnst large enough to admit the body of a man out very few have ever ventured into its inmost recesses. During the month of November, 1902, John D. Woodbeck of Otsego, Dr. J. W. Toam of Grand Rapids, Dr. George Copp, of Plainwell and Glen Smith of the Pine Creekjdam, while on a hunting expedition came upon the cave. They are said to have been the first white men to explore it. The old esc Inhabitants thereabout tell how in the early days their fathers told of the Indians coming to the cave, to fall down to worship the great spirit among .the writhing reptiles and to chant wierd songs. Nothing did the Bed man abhor so as a snake and the medicine man of the tribe could rarely effect a cure for the bite of a “rattler.” Handed down in the folk lore of the county for 60 years there is not a resi­ dent of either Barry and Allegan coun­ ties who has not heard of Snake cave. John Woodbeck, a modest man withal, says: “Granted that Gull lake beats Gun as an ice boating and sporting center we have some attractions there that put the best this lake has to offer to shame. "Boys, have you ever heard about the snakes in old Jim Chapman’s cave not many miles from the club house at Gun? Well, I’ll tell you of a thrilling experience which I think will show you conclusively that Gull is not in the same class with Gun as a nerve racker. With three friends I was hunting in the vicinity of the cave last fail when the opening of the cave excited our curiosity. Old Jim had told us about it and we resolved to see for ourselves. The four of us crawled in on our hands and knees. Once inside we found our­ selves in a chamber probably 30 by 40 feet with a ceiling eight feet high with ample room to stand. We groped in the dark to the back part of the cave I struck a match and the sight that met my eyes 1 shall never forget to my dying hour. Ail about me, in some pouring through the opening in the cave. Outside I reeled exhausted from excitement and tenor. “There must have l>een fully 50L> snakes in the place and it seemed as if everyone of them was waking up to give me a warm reception. The four of us ambled over to Farmer Chap­ man’s. He drew a jug of cider from the cellar and told us what he knew about the cave. 'About a year ago, I missed three hogs one after the other/ said Chapman. T didn’t know where them porkers had disappeared to, till one day my grandson heard a low moan come from the cave. I went over there and beard a sort of squeal. I hollered over to a neighbor boy to get together a bee and have ’em bring their shovels and we dug down and found the bones of two hogs and the third was reduced to skin and bones. We got him out but none of the boys dared to peep into the place. '“About twenty years ago Warren Lawrence and Daisy Sanderson ran away from home to get married. Old Dan .Sanderson was a hot tempered old skunk. He got wind of the match and was in hot pursuit of the elopers. Trailed ’em all the way from upper Guh to father’s farm aud then up a stump. Couldn.t do nothing. Well, do you know that Warren and Daisy just bid in that there cave over night aud skipped out next day to Plainwell, where they were tied by a justice of the peace It’s a fact. Livin’ up in Barry county now. Saw Warren just ’tocher day.’ Kalamamrt Teleqruph. Sandbagged in Allegan. Las’. Thursday evening. Dr. Marie Horton Baine was sandbagged. She says she was struck just below the neck on her back as she was attemptiug to enter the hall way to her rooms on Locust street. She went across the street to mail some letters and noticed a very suspicious looking man on Dry­ den’s corner, the same one that made her very nervons while waiting for a train recently at Grand Rapids, the fel­ low fallowing her about until she be­ came greatly alarmed. At various times she noticed this loafer here and she believes he was hired by her recent husband as she says he threatened her life before they separated. The doctor says she suffers greatly from nervous­ ness os she fears for her life. She was confined to her bed several days as a result of the sandbagging. The weap­ on used looked very mwb like al unmll sack of sugar. The doctor has lately suffered greatly from lacerated feelings, due to gossip and her recent troubles, and it is a little too much to be sand­ bagged, when she is peaceable and lets other people alone. We would suggest that the nightwatch pay especial atten­ tion to this end of town in the future and thus if possible avoid a recurrence of the affair.~.4U0?on New*. Dr. Baine is well known here and it was only last April that she was mar­ ried to Henry Baine, of Woodland, who it is claimed was the sixth husband ter' fail Into her matrimonial net. Mr, Baine has applied for a divorce and the case will be tried here at the March term of court when Mrs. Baine will possibly be confronted with some of her former husbands. As to the idea that Mr. Baine was the instigator of the alleged sandbagging it is needless to say that any of his many friends. in this part of the county are ready to I strenuously assert their belief in hie in­ nocence. John may occassionally get his head bumped by others, but he isn’t one of the sandbagging kind himself. Died. CHARLES M.

It is a great satisfaction to feel that one woman can write to another telling her the most private and confidential (details about her illness, arid know that her letter will be seen by a woman only, — a woman full of sympathy ;for her sick sister, and with a knowledge of woman’s ills greater than that possessed by any other person. j Mrs. Pinkham never violates the confidence thus entrusted to her, and although she publishes ■ thousands of testimonials from women who have been benefited by her advice and medicine^ never 1in all her experience has she published such a letter without the full consent, and often by special request of the writer. The reason Mrs. Pinkham is so amply qualiffed to give advice in cases of female ills is for the reason that over one hundred thousand cases come before her each year, —some personally, others by mail, and this lias been going on for twenty years, day after day, and day after day. Twenty years of constant success, —think of the knowledge thus gained. Surely, women are wise in seeking advice from a woman of such experience, especially when it is absolutely free. As an illustration of the .good coming from such advice we herewith publish two letter* and portrait of Miss Hattie DeGroat, the reading of which should give every sick woman confidence in Mrs. Pinkham’s ability to help them. This is only one of thousand* of the same kind of letters Which Mrs. Pinkham has on file. “ Omak Mrs. PixkhajI : — I have read with interest your ad-rice to others so much that I thought I would write to you. for I have been suffering for a long time.

Toward lhe last, the opposition toward Senator Elkin’s bill resolved itself into the complaint that it.was designed to be harmless. . These chargee were made chiefly by those democrats of the Bryan stamp whose most pleasing dream is the extermina­ tion of all corporations and who cannot see that a remedy should cure and not kill. The American people do; not desire destructive legislation. They merely desire to restrain the abuses of corpor­ ate power. They have asked that the affairs of interstate corporations be given a reasonable amount of publicity and that honest management be thus secured. They have asked that pro­ ducing corporations be effectively for­ bidden to-discriminate between local­ ities and that transporting corporations be forbidden to discriminate among 1shippers.

It smacks too much of rewarding a man through his notoriety as a criminal, and such appointments must exert a bad influence. Too low a degree of honor is demanded for the public service. In some of the old countries should a man do what Mr. Navin has done and disgracejhis office and betray the confidence of men, he would stand forever disgraced. While he might be helped in other ways yet he would he practically ostracised as far as politics and society go. In this way are children taught one of the conae<1 uences of wrong doing, and the men have it before them as a constent ob­ department of commerce and labor.

Nevertheless, despite these truths, the southerner continues to assert that he Is beihg insulted and placed below the negro This has’been the trouble with the south during the entire term of President Rooeevelt. They have raised such inordinate and uncalled clamor over tho President’s every act that the negro is to be ex­ cused If he geu chesty. ' The ridiculous protests against the appointment of Dr. Crumm to the po sltlon of collector of the port of Charleston, S.

Wash­ ington in the White House, the south has carped at every action of the presi­ dent whidh could in any way be con­ strued as favoring the negro. Now a southern newspaper says that Theodore Roosevelt has achieved a greater measure of unpopularity on the nether side o( Mason and Dixon's line than any president since the civil war. If this is so it would seem to the impartial observer that these inimical relations are far more creditable to Mr. Roose­ velt than to the southern “gentleman.” The southerner claims that the negro is getting the idea that he is in greater favor with the administration than his white brother. If so the southerner is entirely to blame. From the very beginning of Mr. Roosevelt's administration the southerner has unduiy magnified every act of friendship toward the negro on the part of Mr. Roosevelt until the black man may be excused fori getting a distorted idea of his importance. But what has Mr. Roosevelt done to warrant all this adverse criticism? According to an address delivered by Secretary Root Feb. 61h, President Roosevelt has appointed fewer black white. in the exercise of a protectorate over the republics to the south of us. This was why they insisted so strenuously upon the appointment of the president Ductai as arbiter. Everf possible question Rearing upon the doctrine that could bbl. have been forced fhto the investigation would have been left to him for de­ cision and as President of the United States his decision would be practically an outline of our policy toward the South American republics. If this was the design of the allies they have failed ticular. Instead of acting as arbitrator, the President has discretely kept silent. And although through Minister Bowen we have practically dictated terms to the allies, yet vye have surrendered nothing and have assumed no responsi­ bility. On the other hand a recogni­ tion of Che Monroe Doctrine has been wrung from Premier’ Balfour while 1Germany and the rest of Europe have 1tacitly recognized this strictly Ameri­ might. 1can doctrine which has thus been given a practical force in international law. which it never before hud.

We don’t by any means presume Gov. Bliss will decline to appoint Mr. Navin because of anything the Banner ed­ itors might say. Any man who delib­ erately appoints such men as “Tip” Atwood as state railroad commissioner and several more “Immortal Nineteeners” ! to responsible positions, wouldn’t paturally regard the appoint­ ment of Mr. Navin, an ex-convict, in the same j light as some other people recommended by the president and F°r some Gme he avoided the officers; promised by the republican leadefs in ■ was Anally arrested: served seven UVIVU or V, Congress was practically completed. eight years in Jackson prison, and is The party pledge was redeemed, and now a prosperous lawyer In Detroit. while the legislation was not radical it This in b^ef is a history of Tom Navin, a man whom Nature gave per­ re believed that it will be effective.

Monday night he went it con­ siderably better and registered eighteen below. Tuesday night the coldest was five below, but a high wind made con­ ditions worse than ever and at present there are uo Immediate indications of a let up in lhe local weather market.

During my sickness I decided that I should re­ turn home at the end of two years, for that is the earliest time when we can. get our transportation from the gov­ ernment.

A couple of years ago or more, Mr. Matthews, having just graduated from the State University, volunteered to go to the Philippines, when the call came for teachers to go to that far off island.

My expenses are not especially high. We are doing onr own cooking now, that is, our muchachos are. We do nothing. Our board, counting the sal­ ary of our hoys will amount to about twelve dollars a month apiece. Our bouse rent is two and a half dollars apiece, our washing also costs two and a half dollars. Besides this probably buying about two dollars a month's worth of books. Stamps amount on an average (to seventy five cents, I suppose. Once a month on an average something or other costa us two dollars with the natives. This month was an exception: They have cost us about four and a half dollars apiece for February, I think. All this came at one blow. I returned fro« a trip to Antimonan knowing that 1 was in trouble. The fiesta, or feast day, of the wives of the municipal council was the event. They call on the men for money on this particular day and make the call very burdensome. Their habit is to call on the men in a body of fifty. When they came to see me they cunte two hundred strong and brought the band of twenty-five instruments. I treated the women to cigarettes and the native wine which they use on all occasions. They bled me to the extend of fifteen jH-bos, seven and a haH dol­ lars, besides the cost of entertainment In case the man does not give as freely as they think he ought to, they say, “Falta! Falta!” which is a prelude to something worse. If you persist in refusing they begin to say “Sa bon I Saban!” This means that they will give you a bath with plenty of soap. In such a case you suffer somewhat I To an American it is. of course, a rather decided experience. The num­ ber of women gives them license to strip the offending individual and treat him to a soap bath. The padre paid fifty pesos, or twenty-five dollars. I think we will have no further occasion of this kind for some time. At for further expenses there is almost noth­ previously. I think I am about as ing to buy.

Withall these, the disease itself is often trivial, but the after effects are very serious. Close observers say that onehalf the people suffer from eye trouble (result of measles), or bronchial, ear, or kidney trouble (result of other diseases of child­ hood). Now a child in robust health will throw off these diseases. A weak ailing child will probably suffer all its life. 1 We have just the medicine for puny, ailing childreA. It is Vinol. It is pleasant to take, it is free from dangerous drugs, it is nour­ ishing and gently tonic, it helps the food to digest and gives strength. It has been used in this town with great success ivhen children were slow in getting over whoop­ ing cough and measles. It seems to give them a start, and they become bright and healthy. Useff with Vinlax, the bowel regulator, it is safe and sure, both for ailing children and bur­ dened mothers. Take home a bottle on our guarantee of money back if it's not good.

AMY VARNUM. lira Kind You Hate Always , A T*etty little animal, writes a com- | JtoKMYoiHm the Michigan Farmer. Under careful feeding and good man­ agement the yield of butter can easily bs raised to 300 pounds a year. We have about 11,000,000 dairy cows Ln the country, which are yielding about L375,000,000 pounds of butter, which, at 15 cents a pound, amounts to |2bU.-35,000. If the 11.000.000 cows were proparly fed, they would produce 3.300,< 30,000 pounds of butter, which, at 15 cents a pound, would amount’ to $405,000,000. Allowing for the extra cost that good feeding would necessitate, there is an annua! loss of over $250,000,000 because of poor feeding. It may be thought by some that such an enormous yield of butter would bring ruin to the dairy industry. It would to certain countries and locali­ ties where feed Is expensive, but the farmers of the northwest need have no fear on this score, for they could and would In a short time be called upon to furnish Europen n countries with their butter, ns we could furnish it and make more money than we do at present at prices that other countries could not possibly meet In round numbers It costs about twice as much to produce butter in Denmark as It does in the northwest. It will take many years to bring the average up to even 200 pounds per cow, and those who begin now to feed right will have the benefit of the good prices. Present prices will be found entirely satisfactory if cows are liberally and properly fed. During the year 1805, under good management, cows returned • net profit of $40 per head; during the year ti>ey made a net profit of $30 per bead *rter deducting the cost of feed; during tht Tear 1897 n<?t Proflt per cow amounted 138 per head, making the average for tK three years $36 per head without giving aW credit for skimmilk and young stock.

There are many ways by which milk can become tainted. A great many people still cling to the use of wooden palls in the dairy. This is one cause for tainted milk. The wood of the palls, being porous, ab­ sorbs milk which continues to undergo changes In the pores of the wood, and it Is next to or quite impossible to keep them dean and sweet. Another source •of tainted milk Is Id not airing the cans and cooiul? them before the warm milk is put in theiZ. The quicker the milk Is cooled after It is removed from the cow the less susceptible it is to taint of any kind. Keeping the milk too long In filthy and unkempt stables is another source of trouble along this line. Milk ab­ sorbs bad odors very readily,, and for this reason it should never be put tn a vegetable cellar or a cave where bad odors abound. Most housekeejM’rH have observed how readily milk, cream and butter become tainted when put In a re­ frigerator box with other articles kept there. Oranges, lemons and strawber­ ries will transmit their various odors to milk, cream and butter kept in a re­ frigerator with them. These tuny not be unpleasant to some people, but most peop.le like to have these three articles in their natural flavor. Such vegeta­ bles as onions, cabbage and others less pungent will transmit a very unpleas­ ant taint to milk.—Homestead. One of the advantages of the cream­ ery over the dairy Is the making of butter on a larger scale, which con­ duces to a greater uniformity of prod­ uct, says as exchange. Where a cream­ ery gets a good reputation for a nice and uniform quality of goods In any quantity end style of package there is an advantage to both manufacturers and dealers In disposing of them with­ out the necessity of personal inspection. 8ALVB ■LLiB rixrxawa nx mol work.

It Is estimated that the average annual yield of butter per cow Is 125 pounds.

If a cow is bred along dairy Unes-that is, if her sire is. • full blooded dairy animal-she will not have a strong tendency to convert feed into meat and will therefore con­ vert it into milk.

PROPKItTORl Thursday,Mar. 5, 19^3 A Word to Nursing Mothers It is a well known clinical fact that babies who depend wholly on mother’s milk never have cholera, ,nd arc exempt from two^hirds the ailments which afflict infants. Some inkling to this has checked I the report to artificial foods and begun to make it “ good form ” for every mother to nurse her own baby -4 when she can. Some tjy it, and grow weak and sick under the strain. With others the milk flow is insufficient, and the poor baby is at last given | over to the tender mercies of the milkman with his com fodder, and stale slops, and worse. If any mother within ten miles of our store reads this, we want to give them a hint. Try Vinol. ’There are many mothers who have found that it enabled them to take nunc nourishment, restored their strength, and made baby healthy, hearty, and Happy . Vinol not. only supports the mother’s strength but transmits to the babe the fobndation for a healthy childhood. Vinol contains no dangerous drugs. We are willing to tell you just what is in it and give you the in. ney back if it don’t help you. Don't doubt,\try it. W. H. GOODYEAR DRUGGIST.

There is nothing JMt as good.’’ f? L. Health, thedrng gist. A writer in tbe Jersey Bulletin ad­ vises breeders to raise only bull calveg enough go as to keep prices up above the “moderate prices” the farmers are j willing to pay, and on the same page |I another writer, who hides some good ideas in a volume of words, says no breeder can sell bull calves short of $100. This may be correct where a fan­ cy name, family or strain is at stake, says L. W. Llghty In Stockman and Fanner, but the fact l^tbat the breed­ ers of practical dairy stock have found it unprofitable to follow such advice. Many breeders have learned that there is a big demand for utility stock, and while the fancy aristocracy go begging for a buyer the breeder who advertises tn the farmers'uuiper and offers pure blood made cal res with a line of pro- . genitors which put in their work at the pall and churn finds a ready sale at ' reasonable prices. There arc dozens— j yes, hundreds—of farmers and dairy- i men tfho will pay $25 to $50 for n bull calf to grade up where there Is one who will buy a $100 or $200 calf. Where the breeder has ready sale for all his calves , at ttn^prices that the farmer Is willing J to pay - “moderate prices” — it would , seem to be more profitable than where an occasional one is sold nt a fancy price. It is difficult for the layman to ! see why it Is not more profitable to sell a.calf for $35 at eight or ten weeks than to veal it a few weeks sooner at $2.50. । Many dairymen and others who milk cows for profit believe that when a cow reaches the age of seven or eight her useful years are over and she should be replaced by one younger. Other things being equal, this is a mistake, accord­ ing to Dairy and Creamery. A cow that has been well cared for, with generoils rations and proper attention, is better and will make a more profitable return at eight years than nt any ear­ lier age. She Is then in her prime and will not be considered an old cow until fourteen or fifteen years have passed. Cows with first calves—at two or three years—are generally unprofitable In their milk yield, and one really good cow between seven and eight years‘old will pay a better revenue than two that are performing their first year’s duties in the da\ry herd. Moreover, she will probably consume but little more food than one of the younger ones. Tbe fact is worthy the consideration of those who are dairying for profit. In these days, of balanced rations and scientific f'W'diug the following, from the pen of 1. K. Felch and published as early as 1877, will be appreciated: “A few words upon the use of the several condiments advertised for fowls or egg production may not prove amiss In this work. “In mobt cases, where these condi­ ments uro needed, the breeder is trou­ bled to obtain a variety of food for his flock. We have demonstrated the ne­ cessity of the daily use of flesh, vege table aud grain food, and where the meat and vegetable elements are lack­ ing their constituent parts have to be supplied in a concentrated form. Thus sulphur and irou become a _____ necessity. — w*tnt of time to supply in their natural * *form all ’* the elements of food that are necessary has caused a large demand for these specific foods and condiments for fowls. Therefore a word of direction for their use will prove an advantage. “Of the maiyr kinds now In use it Is safe to say that in all are found nearly the tonne ingredients, the quantity of each' In the compounding being the greatest difference in them. These condiments and egg foods should be carefully administered. “No general rule can be followed. Due should begin with less than di­ rected and increase the quantity until the desired result is accomplluned. "We.have, in testing some of the egg foods, given them as directed and forced some of the fowls to lay three soft shelled eggs In a single night, two hens side by side producing five such eggs in a night. It Is evident, then, that in' such cases tbo food becomes abortive. "Breeding fowls should not be al­ lowed to lay more than 100 eggs In the six months termed the breedlug period, and if they are to be found falling off from that ratio the food may be used to stimulate them to a natural production, or oyerfnt fowls may be induced to lay more freely by Its use and their fat reduced to some purpose. "Fowls kept to produce eggs for the market may be fed upon this food more freely until they are forced up to their full constitutional limit, and when molting time comes they may be killed and marketed for poultry. Birds thus forced will generally molt slowly and fall to lay till the following spring, which would make It more profitable to replace them with young stock that will stand the use of the food and pay a profit on its use.” Like the guinea fowl, this bird la Four earloads of cows were shipped . .

A new and very smart materia) used for the gay colored and warm waist­ coats worn In winter for protection against the cold when enjoying out of door sports Is a silk made in exceed­ ingly heavy cords of contrasting shades or all In one color, as preferred. It is wonderfully light In weight, but warm to a marvel and soft and crush­ able in tbe hand. Tbe little waist­ coats are beautifully made, bound with taffeta and finished with large man­ nish pearl buttons in a double breasted effect. Scarlet is always a bright and cheerful shade for such an affair. White lingerie skirts are fast taking the place of silk ones on the street among well dressed women. They have the attraction of cleanliness, which is so greatly in their favor, and they rest our eyes from cut and frayed ruffles, pllsses and ragged edges In general, which the modishness of silk walking skirts made possible. There is a new petticoat material, however, called wash silk, in colors, which is as light as taffeta and warranted to wear far better.' The fact that it will wash makes It desirable for street petticoats. It differs from customary wash silks for waists. Vogue, from which the foregoing items are gleaned, Illustrates a recep tlon gown that suggests many good points. This particular model is of guld cloth figured with black com­ bined with black chiffon over white taffeta. Its deep yoke, graduated flounce and lattice of black velvet with jet spiders in the spaces are notable features. The following method in fattening is adopted by the English goose farmer: Geese in good condition should be shut up in a quiet place, shaded from light, where they cannot see other geese at liberty, and should be kept there from twenty to twenty-five days. It is bene­ ficial to let them out for about fifteen to thirty minutes the first thing in the morr.ing and again-In the evenlug ber fore dusk.

Pancoast Department of Commerce. Tbe creation of a Department of Commerce in the United States has awakened great interest in other coun­ tries and especially in the mother coun­ try, where our active but friendly rival­ ry in the world’s markets is a subject of nhich attention, and the appoint mentofa Minister of Commerce for the United Kingdom is being urged. The London Chamber of Commerce Journal, thte official organ^of the Lon don Chamber of Commerce, in a recent The republican convention acted wisely TneedAJ in renominating Mr. John C. Ketcham for County Com missioner of Schools. For the past four years he has served the people of th'j* county ably and efficiently. In storm and sun­ shine, early and late he has looked after the interests of the schools in aj manner which reflects great credit; • upon himself with the result that the ; standard of our schools has been most perceptibly raised. A law, recently passed, and whichi* will take effect April 1st, makes the' term of County School Commissioner’ four years instead of two. As Mr. Ketcham has held the office two terms, or four years, the renominatiou just given him would be but for a second term under the new law. The change of the tenure of office from two years to four is a wise move, and its end will be to raise the standard of schools. Experience is valuable in county school work as in everything else, and Mr. Ketcham will be better fitted to serve the people during what would be a second term under the new law, than any new official could. Mr. Ketcham is tod well known to Barry county people to need any intro­ duction. Suffice it to say that he is enthusiastic in his work, active, ener­ getic and always a hustler. His good work in the past merits the hearty sup­ port of the people of this county who have the best interests of the schools at heart, and they will not be slow in rec­ ognizing the benefits to be derived from re-electing one who has been tried and true. . l“|ii this country the opinion was for long held that tbe best way to assist tradei was to leave it severely alone and to rely upon tbe foresight, skill and energy of our merchants and manufacttiren| to maintain our pre-eminent position in the world’s markets. Latter­ ly. however, there has been a tendency to direct the attention of Parliament more Mid more1 to commercial matters. It! is unquestionable that the idea is rapidly gaining in strength that In many directions considerably more at­ tention and assistance might be given by^the State to extending trade than is at present accorded. In saying this, the fact is not overlooked that of recent 3ears commercial questions have re reived' increasing attention from the Government, but the feeling is rapidly growing in intensity that what is really ’wanted is that they should be entrust­ ed to a Minister with full Cabinet rank, Who must himself be a business mari, and whose solo duty shall be to watch vver, foster and support the vast trad­ ing anil infiusti a« inteiesU of 4ircouatry. We are now at a period .of tense rivalry in trade; our merchants and manufacturers are face to face with the keenest competition that has ever been known; and that competition is daily developing. Is it not remark­ able, in view of the magnitude of the interests involved, that the United Kingdom -the greatest manufacturing and commercial nation in the world— has not in the Cabinet a Minister of Commerce? In the United States, which iiay be looked upon as our most formidable competitor, and whose peo­ ple are ^eenly alive to the necessities of modern commerce, tbe need for such a Minister has already been fully recog­ nized. ; Surely Great Britain afford to lag behind. cannot Hurry Up Governor. Homer McGraw, of Detroit, has gone into bankruptcy and Frank Pingree, of the same city, has announced himself « bankrupt. Both of these gentlemen are prominent and respected citizens of that city, and both were formerly wealthy, They have been thus reduc­ ed to comparative poverty by reason of the stealing of Frank Andrews, from the City Savings Bank which he looted' of a half million or more. If in filling certain prominent positions, the Gov­ ernor will not consider less than a 8100.OOO thief, this should make Mr. An­ drews a very desirable man—probably the best in prison. The Governor has tbe pardoning power, and shouldn’t stop at such a small thing as pardoning a man with suchSexquisite qualifica­ tions, even though be has robbed the poor and brought honorable men to poverty. Tbe editor of the Republican haa been interrlewad by a large number of •St. lobes citizens who called to express tbelr approval of his rote against the confirmation of Thomas J. Navin as a member of the Jackson prison board. Only one man has thus far expressed himself as in favor of tbe appointment One matt who is about tbe state a good deal said Navin’s appointment would cost the republican party B,000 votes this spring. Be that aa It may, it was Wholly unnecessary to make It. and it is very doubtful If any good end will be accomplished. Kepuzdiom. Gov.

The state’s interests would doubtless be better looked after were the work done by a committee of three of five members and the saving to the state would be no small amount. The state pays every senator and represen­ tative four cents for each mile travelled in the upper peninsula and three cents for every mile travelled in the lower peninsula. Inasmuch as free transpor­ tation is held by most of the members the expense to the state ia out of pro­ portion to the benefits received. At the Farmers’ Round-up institute at Owosso last week, the manager of one of the largest beet sugar factories in the state made the surprising state­ ment that a 8600,000 beet sugar factory yielded a net profit of but 812,000 from which nothing was deducted for depre­ ciation of the plant. The papers state that the wise “nodded, knowing^ and incredulously.’’ Such a statement is calculated to make anyone “nod knowingly.” When one sees capital being invested freely in beet sugar fac­ tories there must be something more than two per cent net in it with nothing deducted for wear and tear. — (URRtNT EVfRTS Adalbert F.

Rome, March 3.-—The struggle to ob­ tain tickets for today’s ceremony at the Vatican, on the occarion of the twenty-fifth anniversary of the corona­ tion of the pope, has been quite unpre­ cedented. It is expected that more than 70,000 persons will be present. The city is overflowing with visitors. Accommodation is still insufficient for the crowd of 20,000 pilgrims, besides the 50,000 other visitors who have ar­ rived. Forty-six out of the fifty-eight members of the sacred college are here, together with nearly 300 arch­ bishops and bishops. The pope passed a very quiet birthday yesterday, spend­ ing moat of the time resting to please the doctors, or, as he said, "praying to please himself.” March 3.—Men , Menominee, Mich., — coming hom*e from the north along the ihore claim to have telephone measages from across the bay, saying that twenty-six fishermen, with thousands of dollars’ worth of nets, ha^ve been carried out on the ice and are floating somewhere in Green bay or Lake Midi- । igan, in imminent danger of perishing from cold or drowning in the icy wa- . ters which surround them. The men are nearly all residents ot Marinette, with a few from Menomlnee. and their families nre greatly ex­ cited over the danger and uncertainty which surround the fathers and hus­ bands. Albert Kerenich of Menekaunee came In Monday morning and reported that he had walked from Cedar river. | thirty miles, after a night of peril and . anxiety. Ho crossed an ice crack just ‘ in time to see the outer floe drift out, carrying twenty-five or more fisher­ men, with nets and other'.equipment | Rescuing parties are keeping a sharp , lookout along the shore for signs of the missing men. The men were camped on “Whale back” reef, twenty-eight miles out in the bay, busy with the eomplqtion ol . their spring fishing, when they were suddenly aroused to the fact that the ice was going out with them.

When your stock and poultry are sick give them modicine. Ddn ’ t stuff them with worth­ less stock foods. Unload the bowels arid stir up the torpid liver and the animal will be cured, if it be possi­ ble to curb it. Black-Draught Stock and Poultry Medicine unloads the bowels and stirs up the torpid liven It cures every malady of stock if taken in time. Secure a 25-cent can of Black-Draught Stock apd Poultry Medicine and it will pav for itself ten timesover. Horses work better. Cows give more milk. Hogs gain flesh. A nM hens lay more eggs. It solves the problem of making as much blood, flesh and energy as possible out of the smallest amount of food conFumed.

This is the second nomination of Crum, the senate at the session just closed, having failed to confirm him. Fear is expressed at the Hague that, in the event that the impending gene­ ral railway strike is declared in Holland the emperor of Germany might inter­ fere by means of military occupation. This is feared all the more In view (of the fact that the calling of a strike is almost certain to re followed by gene­ ral disorder or sporadic civil war in Holland. I Women’s Chib.

[ NOTABLE^REPORT month when our citizens indulged in the least amount of water, only about four million gallons being used during that month. Whether this indicates an excessive cleanliness or a change to stronger beverages, we are unable to state. The greatest single expense item was that of fuel, the total cost of the coal and wood used for pumping being 81610.20. Of this amount the wood ac­ count receives 36720 while 81553 was expended-in coal, 988,100 pounds or 492^ tons being Used. The city, how­ ever, in its capacity of coal dealer pur­ chased still more coal and the grand total foots up to 1JM5.000 pounds. The average cost per ton Is given as 33.14^. In addition to the fuel expense there is to be added 8168.75 for supplies and repairs, 825.05 for lighting and 31551.75 for the Engineer’s salary, making a to­ tal expense of ,83422.94. The cost of pumping one million gallons of water Is given as 820.72. Another item to be included in the report is the heating of the city hall which amounted to 867.19. The total amount of coal consumed for this pur­ pose was 41,700 pounds. On the whole the report is eminently satisfactory and one upon which the officials in charge are to be sincerely complimented. It will be noticed that there is no expensive red tape, no of­ ficials whose offices were created merely for the purpose of drawing a salary. Everything is conducted on an econo­ mical and common sense basis and the result is extremely gratifying, enabling as it does the citizens of this city to en­ joy at a nominal cost the untold advan­ tages of a pure supply of drinking water and furnishing in summer an almost unlimited supply of water for sprinkling purposes which, coupled with tne pride shown by every property owner in the appearance of his lawn, has made this one of the most attrac­ tive cities of its size in this or any other state.

There have been various rumors afloat concerning the rebuilding of the American house and the construction of other buildings by the estate but Mr. Burton informs ns^hat be has no definite plans as yet. Whit Benham informs us that he haa secured a sub contract on the dam which is to be built on Flat river two and one half miles north of I*owell by the Edison Electric Light and Power Company of Grand Rapids. The dam which will furnish power for the Valley City will necessitate the moving of 6,500,000 yards of earth and will cost $1,500,000. Mr. Benham sent part of his outfit to Lowell yesterday and will send the rest in the near future. The chances of Circuit Judge Clem­ ent Smith, of Hastings, getting the fed­ eral judgeship in New Mexico are hung up until Attorney-General Knox re­ turns from Florida in April.

COLQUHOUN, Ladies’ Tailor, grand Rijridi Mich THE WELLINGTON HATS, The marvelous recovery of her speech after six months of silence, on the part of Miss Lulu Van Auarn, of Nashville.lMlch., justifies the doctors in calling it “unique.” Heretofore we have had the drug cure, the water cure, the Christian science cure, the faith cure, and other cures that were curious, and if now we have added the “cuss cure" we have at last arrived at a rem­ edy within the reach of every patient. Miss Lulu, to the moment when she stubbed her toe and fell, had been si­ lent six months, so runs our special dis­ patch. She made an effort to say “ Darn it!” and darn it! she did. At the sameginstant something like a ball or sac, thought to be pus, flew from her mouthZfit may have been a ball of yarn,) and she has ever since been able to "dam” all she darn pleases. The I doctors were right—it was “unique.”— I Ddtrott TrilM/jue. Obituary.

The symbol >< the Venetian .republic —the famous lion-of .St Mark—is made of Iwize. There is a tradition.among the Venetian people that its eyes are diamonds. Tbqy are really white, ag­ ates, faceted. Its mane is moat •elabo­ rately wrought, ffnd Its retracted, gap­ ing mouxlrand Its fierce mustaches give It an oriental aspect. The creatureas-it now stands belongs to many different,4}pochs, varying from some date previous to our era dawn to this century.

The came of death by lightning is the sudden absorption of the electric current When a thundercloud, which is highly charged with positive elec­ tricity, hangs over any certain place, the earth beneath It becomes abnor­ mally charged with the negative elec­ tric current, aud a man, animal or oth­ er object standing or lying directly be­ neath also partakes of the last men­ tioned influence. If, while the man, animal or other object is in this condi­ tion, a discharge takes place from the cloud above, the restoration of the equilibrium will be sudden and violent, of, in language that we can all under­ stand, the negative current from the earth will rush up to join the positive cloud current, and in passing through the object which separates the two cur­ rents, if it be an animate thing, will do so with such force as to almost invari­ ably produce instant death. A person is really “struck” by the ground cur­ rent, and not by the forked fury from above. Educate the Boy. Better than to give your boy 81,000 when he is twenty-one yeara old is it for you to give him but 8500 and use the other 8500 to give him two years at some college when he ia- eighteen or twenty. He will then be in shape to. earn that other 8500 and a good deal more besides. There is nothing surer today than the fact that the man who knows is the man who makes the money. And this is not all. That two years at college will so broaden and widen him that he will not only be able to make more money, but will in ©very way be a bigger, better type of man. It is a very grave mistake on the part of parents who have the means to do so not to send the boy or girl to college or university after they have finished the district or city school.— Grand Ledge Independent. The real heroines of every dav are in our homes. Frequently, hovr-’ ever, it is a mistaken and. useless heroism. Women seem to li-Jtn to every call of duty except the supreme one that tells them tb wtrd their health. How much harder the daily tasks became when some derangement of the female organs makes every movement paftful and keeps tbo nervous system unstrung? Irritability takes the place of happiness and amiability* and weakness and suffering takes the place of health and strength. As long as they can drag themselves around, women continue to woik and perform their household duties. They have been led to believe that suffering is necessary because they are women. What a mistake! * Tbo use of Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetabte Compound will banish pain an i restttre happiness. Don’t resort to strong stimulants or nar­ cotics when this great strengthening, healing remedy for women is always within reacu. FKEE MEDICAL ADVICE TO WOMEN. If there Is anything in your case about which you would like special advice, write freely to Mrs. Pinkham. No man will see £oitr tetter. She can surely help you, for no person in America as such a wide experience in treating female ills as she has had. Sh» has helped hundreds of thousands of women back to health. Her address is Lynn, Mass., and her advice Is free. You are very foolish if yoa do not accept her kind invitation.

My trouble was female weakness in its worst form and I wm in a very Lad condition. I could not perform my household duties, my back ached, I wu extremely nervous, and I could not eat or sleep, and the beari c-g-d’jwn ptins were terrible. My husband spent hundreds of dollars, to grft me well, end all the medicine that the doctors prescribed failed to do me any Kood ; I resorted to an operation which the physician said was necessary to restore me to health, but 1 suffered more after it than I did before; I had hemorrhages of the womb that nothing could seem to stop. ”1 noticed one of your advertisements and wrote you for advice, I re­ ceived your reply and carefully followed all Instructions. I immediately beg^A to get st’onger, and in two weeks was about the house. I took eight bott'es of Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound and continued following your advice, and to-day I am a well woman. Your remedies and help are a Godsend to suffering women, and I cannot find words to thank you for what you have done for me.”—Mbs. Lorna V. Natlob, 1328 N. J. Ave., N.W., Washington, D. C. “Dtub Mbs.

I began taking your medicine, and had not taken it lonr before I wasj feeling better. My husband said that I should keep right on taking it as long as it gave me relief from my suffering, as I could not expect to be cured by one or two bottles. I did so and am now able to be on my feet and worn hard all day, and go to bed and rest at night. Thanks to your Vegetable Ccanpound I am certainly grateful for the relief it gave me.

Shot-Gun Prescriptions We suppose we are not revealing anv trade secrets when we say that many medicines arc made up cn the principle of the so-called i: ?hot-gun prescriptions ” which were formerly somewhat in vogue. The idea of the shot-gun1 pre Lj- ­ medlscriptions was to put into a medicinc 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 " line and guarantee docs the same, fids medicine is called Vinol. It ■; the hist thing we know for a runwn condition, for nerve troubles, Ior iung troubles, for weak women, pic chil.lren, and old people — in "act, it is a safe, pleasant, reliable ,.inic and reconstructor. It is not a scattering “shot-gun iteKrigtion," but it goes straight to the mhrit, and has cured so lany. people right here in town, •.hat 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 you your money back without a word of complaint. \Vc fbuld not afford to guarantee it so boldly if we had not seen it succeed in ninety-eight out of every one hundred cases.

An odd affair occurred when I was last at Natchez, says Mr. Crockett. A steamboat stopped at the landing, and one of the crew went ashore to pur­ chase provisions, He went into a sa­ loon on the way, and the adroit In­ mates contrived to rob him of all bis money. The captain of the boat, a de­ termined fellow, went ashore in the hope of persuading them to refund, but they declined. Without further ceremony, tbe cap­ tain, assisted by bis crew aud passen­ gers, some 300 or 400 In number, made fast an Immense cable to the frame building where the theft had been com­ mitted. Then he allowed fifteen min­ utes for the money to be forthcoming, vowing that if it were not produced within that time he would put steam to his boat and drag the bouse into the river. The thieves knew that he would keep bls word, and tbe money was promptly produced. SHOWING THE WAY This Public Statement of a Hastings Citizen Will Be Appreciated.

New York, March 16.—J. Whitaker Wright, lhe London promoter, who is accused of tieing concerned la colossal frauds in connection with the organ!- i ration of various financial corpora­ tions. was arrested Sunday on the ar­ rival of the French Hue steamer La Lorraine from Havre. The arrest waa made by two central office detectives at the request of tbe London police. With Wright on the steamship was a tail, good-looking young woman, who said she was the niece of the prisoner. The financial crash of the companies floated by Whitaker Wright came in December, 1900. There were eleven of these, including the parent company, entitled the London & Globe Finance Corporation, with a total capitalization of 160,675.000. Wright was the man­ aging director. Few millionaires lived in the same princely- style as Whitaker Wright. In Park lane, London, he had a miniature palace. One of the victims of the crash was the late Marquis of Dufferin and Ava, formerly governor-general of Canada and British ambassador to Paris. He consented to be chairman of the Lon­ don & Globe, and had 25.000 shares in the different companies. Much Amerlpan money was lost In the failure of the Wright companies. There was a great outcry against the attitude of tbe authorities in not pros­ ecuting Wright and his fellow direc­ tors of the London & Globe company, and in January last a petition was cir­ culated on the laondon Stock Exchange signed by many influential men. de­ manding the prosecution of Wright.

Probably iron Is the most im­ portant of these needed elements, 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 isimade of, how it is made, and hoiv wonderfully helpful it has 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 soimuch faith in it that we will sell a bottle to ahyone suffering from loss: of appetite, a niff-down condition, tendency to colds, or to weak women and pale children, etc., and cheerfully give you the money back if it does not helpyou.

There has been but one new case of smallpox during the past week, that be­ ing in the family of John Eggleston. There are but two other families in quarantine, those of Frank Wood and William Stafford and the contagion is nearly wiped out As a result of Tuesday’s blizzard three knights of the road, giving their names as James McGuire, of Chicago, John Wilson, of Bay City and Frank Roberts, of Jackson, were glad to give themselves up to the tender mercies of the law. Marshall Newton invited them to appear before Justice Riker who meted out justice to the'tune of 85 or « days with the sheriff. At present they are registered at th e county hotel The following story is being told of dr. Levi Master, presiding elder of the Big Rapids District of the M. E.church and formerly pastor of the church here: Several months before his death be vis­ ited a Big Rapids woman, a member of his former congregation, who is noted for the size of her family. After he had visited awhile the good doctor rose to go and tbe woman said to him: “But doctor, you haven’t seen my last baby, have you?” “No, madam,” replied the doctor, “and I never expect to.” One of the strange jests of fortune is disclosed in the history of the great Calumet & Hecla mine in northern Michigan. A drayman of the town got hold of 700 sharps of the stock and held it until it was worth over 8500,000, continuing to drive his dray in the meantime. On the other hand tbe man who organized the company and whose genius developed the mine, started out with over 27,(MX) shares, but could not keep any of them. He was reduced to poverty, when a single month’s divi­ dends from his former stock would have made him a rich man. Aid. Brooks moved its adoption. Car­ ried—Ayes, Brooks, Hall, Hicks, Reed, Ward.

Made in Minneapolis SOLD ALL OVER THE WORLD Every woman who feels that IHe ia a harden, t Every woman who has tried all other means to regain health without success, Every woman who is going through that critical time — the change of life — Is invited to write to Mrs. Pinkham, Lynn, Mass., In regard to her trouble, aid the most expert advice telling exactly bow to obtain a CURE will be seat abaa lotdy free of cost The one thing that qualifies a person to give advice on any subject is experience —experience creates knowledge. No other person has so wide an experience with female ills nor such a record of success as Mrs. Pinkham has had. Over a hundred thousand cases come before her each year. 8ome personally, others by mail And this has been going on for twenty years, day after day, and day after day. Twenty years of constant success — think of the knowledge thus gained ! Surely women are wise in seeking advice from a woman with such ah experience, especiallyvwhen it is free. Mrs. Hayes, of Boston, wrote to Mrs. Pinkham when she wa» in great trouble. Her letter, shows the result. There are actually thousands of such letters in Mrs. Pinkham’s possession. “ Dear Mrs. Pinkham : — I have been under doctors’ treatment for female troubles for some time, but without any relief. They now tell me I have a fibroid tumor. I cannot sit down without great pain, and the soreness extends up my spine. I have bearing down pains both back and front. My abdomen is swollen, I cannot wear my clothes with any comfort Womb is dreadfully swollen, and I have had flowing spells for three years. My appetite is not good. I cannot walk or be on my feet for any length of time. “The symptoms of Fibroid Tumor, given in your little book,accurately describe my case, so I write to you for advice. —Mrs. E. F. Hatks, 251 Dudley St (Boston), Roxbury, Maas. “ Dkar Mrs. Pinkham : — I wrote to you describing my symptoms, and asked your advice. You replied, and I followed all your directions carefully for several months, and to-day I am a well woman. “Ths use of Lydia JE. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound, together with your advice, carefully followed, entirely expelled the tumor, and strength­ ened the whole system. I can walk miles now. “ Your Vegetable Compound is worth five dollars a drop. I advise sll women who are afflicted with tumors, or any female trouble, to write you for advice, and give it a faithful trial.” — Mm. E. F. Haw, 252 Dudley St. (Boaton), Roxbury, Mass.

The frst order of business was tbe nomination of candidate for mayor, but as soon as anyone approached the required number of votes a declination cfche proffered honor was immediate­ ly forthcoming. Several ballots were thus- taken. M L. Cook, P. A. Sheldon, republicans nominated David R. Cook, whose whole life has been devoted to, the real eatate business.

W. Rogers, the republican nominee for Mayor. He is recognized as one of the best insur­ ance men of the state. For twenty years or more he has been Secretary of the Barry X Eaton Insurance Com­ pany, and the Michigan Mutual Toynado, Cyclone & Windstorm In­ surance Co., which company he practi­ cally organizer!. The Barry & Eaton is one of the strongest and best mutual fire insurance companies in this state and lhe Windstorm Company is one of the largest and strongest of its kind in the United States, having an assessable capital of over 850,0(10,000. The growth of these companies under his manage• ment attests the fact that Mr. Rogers is a capable business man and a suc­ cessful business man -just the kind any city needs to look after its af­ fairs. Mr. Rogers has served the peo­ ple of this city as mayor for one term and made a most creditable record. He has the details of two large insurance companies to look after and nothing but his regard for the interests of the republican party, of which he Is a loyal member, prompted him to accept.

Last Saturday evening San started out for a little fun and came to thia city on the 9:10 train. After amusing himself for some time he returned to Nashville on the midnight train and at once hied himself to the home of hia divorced wife who lives with her sister, Mrs. Julia Jones. For some time Sau had been paying visits to his ex-wife, making the most blood curdling threats. This time he reckoned that all wm ripe for action. . So as a starter he picked up a good sized stone and let drive through the window. The stone struck the headboard of the bed in which Mrs. Bailey and her sister were sleeping and bad the effect of considerably arousing the occupants. San next took a five foot club and proceeded to demolish the window. Having effected an entrance in th<9 manner he proceeded to carry out some of his former threats.

If women only knew bow much more graceful— and the only way Is to appeal to their vanity—they would be reclining on tbe floor, they would never ait up on chairs or round a table. That thia la funda­ mentally true la proved by the fact that they are never so happy as at a picnic, where there are no chairs and tables. I really believe that tbe erase for potting everything on something above the floor—by which I mean tricustom of sleeping In ugly, cumber* some sad dirt collecting beds instead of on the floor. Of course the reason why women do not sleep on the floor Is be­ cause they are afraid of beetles and mice and other harmless things. Wom­ en. therefore, having invented the bed. invented the table to stand by it, and thus spread tbe habit of putting every­ thing above the level of tbe floor. Woman’s original sin of being afraid of black beetles and mice coats man more than al) the royalty, armies, na­ vies. pension lists, prisons, poverty, schooling, national debts and wars of Europe. I am sure I am not putting It too high when I say that the average cost of fur­ niture per house is 11.000, and if the world would ouly agree not to cumber its rooms with beds and tables, side­ boards, cabinets and chairs our ground rents would be about half what they are, and the overcrowding of our cities would come down proportionately. — “Domestic Blunders of Women.” A lazy liver makes a lazy man.

Down in El Paso In the early part of bls ca­ reer before he had become bold enough to allow evidence of bls misdeeds to become apparent he was ostensibly running a ranch and struggling along with the rest of the pioneer cattlemen. A man in his employ was caught driv­ ing off a buix-h of cattle from a neigh­ bor's herd. By some mischance tbe fellow fell into the hands of a newly elected sheriff and was not hanged. He was duly arraigned and held under bond of $3,000. Monrow was present at the time and offered to go on his bond. The justice would not accept Monrow. “Nothing but cash goes in this here court.” be said. Monrow rode away. Five days later be appeared, deposited the cash bond for bls friend, furnished bim with a horse, and together they headed to­ ward the south. Within an hour a band of cattlemen picked up the trail and followed It to Rio Grande. Mon­ row had stolen an entire herd, rushed it across to friends In Mexico and in that manner raised the security the court demanded for his friend. Of course, the man never returned for trial, and Monrow began open opera­ tions shortly afterward. No Oppoaltlon.

When he was a young lad his To supply this at the least possible ex­ father moved' from Connecticut to pense is the problem which the rural Ohio. Here at the age of fourteen high school seeks to solve. To send the young Hooker began to iearn the trade boy or girl away from home te the city of a stone mason, following this trade or village school involves the payment during the summer months while in of fees and other expenses which make winter he taught school and studied the high school diploma cost nearly as law being admitted to the barjwhen only twenty-one. Shortly after, |he moved to Charlotte where he now maintains hte legal residence. In April 1878 he was elected judge of the fifth J udlclal circuit of Michigan and con­ tinued upon the circuit bench until he was elected associate justice of the •Supreme court to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of Chief Jus­ tice Allen B. Morse. In April, 1893, he Was re-elected to this position for |the Call term of ten years. It will be seen, that Justice Hooker’s Experience on tbe circuit and supreme benches extends over a periodjof a full quarter of a century, thus grandly equipping him for the great office he lias filled so acceptably for the past ten .years and which be will continue to fill with credit to himself and honor to the State for ten years more. Justice Hooker, because of his conspicuous abilities, has been afforded an oppor-tunity to become a jurist tunity Jurist of acknowledg M^irnAnri<wi~-­ ed ability. He has made the most of ■this opportunity aud the people of t&e ^tate are to be congratulatedjon the fact that now lu the very ripeness of hte treats they will continue to have the benefit of his services on the bench. The people of thte State, regardlras of class or creed, ore justly proud of the University of Michigan. Theyareljeal- much as the college degree. The aver­ age farmer cannot afford this expense and if his family are to have the proper educational advantages the high school must be brought to the country where it will be available to all. The best and only solution for this problem is the centralization idea which contem­ plates the maintenance of a high school as well as the present eight grades. According to thte Idea the children are not compelled to leave the farm ito secure the benefits of a high schoo^ education. As [has been previously shown in these columns, the centralized school presents the most economical method of instruction in rural districts today. According to this plan three teachers can doi the work formerly done by sev­ en or eight and the expense will be Jess even if a substantial Increase of salary isgraoted;to those who are retained. The instruction will be better because tbe three teachers retained will be the beet of the eight. Even with free transportation and a good high school attached the cost of instruction will hardly reach the amount expended at present for a very ordinary elan of in- oua of Its enviable reputation and an­ xious that thte reputation shall not only be sustained but constantly enhanced.

The West Virginia agricultural exMrtarent station publishes the follow­ ing t^ble showing loss In wrlght of eggs during incubation. After placing the eggs upon the trays ready for the incubator set the trays upon a pair of scales reading to ounces and note the total weight of the eggs and traya. The trays should be thoroughly dry. After a few, days weigh again. Sub­ tract this from the first weight. Thia will give the actual loss In weight of the eggs. Example.-Suppose that you have 208 egg* on the trays, that the first weight with traya Is 24 pounds 2 ounces and that on the «dxth day the weight is 23 pounds G ounces. Then the loss In weight Is 12 ounces. Now look in the table for the loss In weight of 100 eggs for six days. This is 10 ounces. Then ounces multiplied by 2.08 gives 20.8 ounces, which is the calculated loss for 208 eggs for six days. Therefore the eggs have not been losing weight ns rapidly as they should, and the eggs should be given more ventilation or the incubator should bo removed to a drier location. It Is assumed that the eggs are kept uniformly at the proper tem­ perature. After the eggs have been tested for the Infertile ones weigh again and proceed as before. Rules.—If the eggs have lost too much weight, give more moisture or less ven­ tilation. but in reducing ventilation grvui great care huouiu should ue be useo, list'd, ns as pure air in the egg chamber Is absolutely necessary. If the eggs have not Jost enough weight, open the ventilators or place the incubator In a drier ^lace.

Bitter Milk. A bitter condition In milk may be Induced by n variety of causes, but true fermentations that produce bitter products are the result mainly of bac­ terial action, says Dr. H. L. Russell of the Wisconsin experiment station. This type of fermentation is caused by wide­ ly different bacteria. The writer has Isolated n pure acid organism, one that soured milk without the production of any gaseous product, and yet milk Im­ pregnated with this organism develop­ ed a taste as bitter as gall. Many of the digestive or peptonizing fermenta­ tions develop bitter flavors. Where butyric’ Ncid is formed in milk a bitter taste Is often noticed. In heated milk especially bitter fla­ vors frequently occur. This condition arises from the fact that the besting process destroys the normal lactic add bacteria and as these bitter ferment germs are usually spore bearing or­ ganisms they are able to resist the heating process. Bitter milk or cream Is sometimes noted in the winter. Some of the bacteria that are able to form bitter substances can grow at consider­ ably lower temperature than the ordi­ nary sour milk forms, and so, if milk is kept where It Is near the freezing point, these bitter forming species de­ velop more ripidly than the lactic spe­ cies. thus giving the peculiar flavor to the milk. In adme cases the bitter flavor In milk, unless it Is too pro­ nounced. disappears when the product is made up Inta butter ar cheese.

ISuX) Mr. Toast master, Gentlemen: I think I speak for the great ma­ jority of the American people when I say that we are not in the least against wealth as such, whether in­ dividual or corporate; that we nierely desire to see any abuse of cor­ porate or combined wealth corrected and remedied; that we do not desire the abolition or destruction of big corporations, but, on the contrary, recognize them as being in many cases efficient economic Instruments, the results of an inevitable process of economic evolution, and only de­ sire to see them regulated and con­ trolled so far as may be necessary to subserve the public good. We should be false to the historic principles of our government if we discriminated, either by legislation or administration, either for or against a man because of either his wealth or his pov­ ertyI In consequence of the extraordinIt ia plain that the immigration of I ary industrial changes of the last 1903 will pass all former records.

But the months since the .close of the fiscal year last June have shown heavy gains over those of th« preceding ywr. The gains continue. The total for the calendar , year 1902 was but little below the mark for the fiscal year two decades earlier. The present fiscal year will make a gain over that of 1882. Last,Saturday 4509 immigrants landed in New York, which was the highest record ever ma^de for a single <iay in the history of that port. Every month in the present cal­ endar year shows a gain over the same time in 1903. Ofcourae, the business conditions of the country are chiefly responsible for the heavy inflow of settlers. Twenty or thirty years -ago the bad times abroad helped the good times in this country in attracting immigrants to this side of the water. Zu recent years the times In Europe have hot been so bad as they often were formerly. Nevertheless, the attractions of the United States still continue dominant. The inflow nowa­ days is chiefly from eastern and south­ eastern Europe, The countries which furnished most of the immigrants a score of years ago and earlier-Ger many, Ireland, England and the Scan­ dinavian nations -have been supplying us with comparatively few new citizens recently, while Italy, Russia and Aus­ tria-Hungary have been contributing the majority of them. While the Re­ publican prosperity lasts, however there will be room enough for all the newcomers. • change of character and of economic ’ environment.

His powers to ex­ pose illegal or hurtful practices and to obtain all information needful for the purposes of further intelligent legislation seem adequate; and the publicity justifiable and proper for public purposes is satisfactorily guaranteed. Those who are intrusted with the administration of the new law will assuredly administer it in a spirit of absolute fairness apd jus­ tice and of entire fearlessness, with the Arm purpose not to hurt any cor­ poration doing a legitimate business —on the contrary to help it—and, on the other hand, not to spare any; cor­ poration which may be guilty 4f il­ legal practices, or the methods of which may make it a menace toi the public welfare.

The constitution enjoins upon the presi­ dent that he shall take rtr thst ths laws be faithfully execute* and un­ der this provision the attorney gen­ eral formulale<l a policy which was In effect nothing but the rigid enforcemetrt. by suits managed with conouinmatelakill and ability, both of the anti-trust law and of the imper­ fect provisions of the act to regulate commerce. The firet step taken waa the prosecution of 14 suits against the principal railroads of the middle west, restraining them by injunction from further violations of either of the tows in question. About the same time the case against the Northern Securities com­ pany waa initiated. This waa a cor­ poration organized under the laws of the state of New Jersey with a cap­ ital of S40o.00rt.ooo, the alleged pur­ pose being to control the Great Northern aud the Northern Pacific railroad companies, two parallel and competing lines extending across the northern tier of states from the Mis­ sissippi river to the Pacific ocean. Whatever the purpose its consumma­ tion would have resulted in the con­ trol of the two great railway systems upon which the people of the north­ western states were so largely de­ pendent for their supplies and to get their products to market being prac­ tically merged into the New Jersey corporation. The proposition that these independent systems of rail­ roads .should be merged under a single control alarmed the people ol the state* concerned, lesf they be subjected Ito what they deemed a monopoly i of interstate transporta­ tion and the suppression of competi­ tion. The governors of the states most dee;dy affected held a meeting .to consider how to prevent the merger be^omini* effective and’passcd resolutions calling upon the notional government to enforce the anti-trust Jaws against the alleged combina­ tion. Whin these resolutions were referred t^> the attorney general for consideration and advice, he reported that in his opinion the Northern Se­ curities company and its control of the railroads Mentioned was a com­ bination in restraint of trade and was attempting a monopoly in viola­ tion of the national nntl-trust law. Thereupon a suit in equity, which ia now pending, was begun by the gov ermnent to test the validity of this transaction under the Sherman law. At nearly the same time the dis­ closures respecting the secret rebates enjoyed by the* great packing house companies, coupled with the very high price of meats, led the attorney general to direct an investigation into the methods of the so-called beef trust. The result was that he filed bills for injunction against six of the principal packing house companies, and restrained them from combining and agreeing upon prices at which they would sell their products in। states other than those in which' their meats were prepared for mar­ | ket. Writs of injunction were issued ! accordingly, and since then, after full argument, the Cnited States circuit. court has made. the in junction per­! petual. The cotton interests of the south,, including growers, buyers and ship­ per*. made complaint that they were 1 suffering great injury in their bust ness from the methods of the south­ ern railroads in the handling and transportation of cotton. They al­ leged that these railroads, by com-’ bined action under a pooling ar­ rangement to support their rate schedules, had denied to the shippers the right to elect over what roads .their commodities should be shipped, nnd^that by dividing upon n fixed bans the cotton crop of the south all inducement to compete in rates for the transportation thereof was eliminated. Proceedings were । insti­ tuted by the attorney general nnder the anti-trust law. which resulted in the destruction of the pool and in restoring to the growers and shippera of the south the right to ship their products over any road they elected thus removing the restraint upon the freedom of commerce.'

In the past two years we have great ly increased our navy and the last con­ gress made provision for still further increasing our naval strength. Today our navy is stronger than the Kaiser’s and at the present rate ot increase will soon be second only to England's. Still even this gratifying show of strength is not sufficient, for England and Germany combined could make kindling wood on I of our best fleets and by consistent co operation could play horse with the most cherished parts of the Monroe Doctrine and com­ placently 3hk us what we were going to do about it. Such co operation will probably never occur for It is doubtful if the two .naiions could agree long enough to make it effective. Still it furnishes food for rejection and the inevitable conclusion is that we should have a larger navy. But as the president says we wish a powerful and efficient navy not for pur­ poses of war but as the surest guaran­ tee of peace.JI f we have such a navy— if we keep on building it up—we may rest assured that there is not the.smallest chance that trouble will ever come to this nation; and we may likewise rest assured that no foreign poorer will ever quarrel with us about the Monroe Doctrine. 11 “* ,1”d'!r penalties the givIng OTwI and S.W as Mwell th, !»tk» t mil *ls A demanding or'rZ ’-Pre-nl, 4 to ,1..*—. t to endeavor, not " I ,k 7 corP*»vatlon^ but to l»te them with a ...» 1 "in- Easter Program.

I believe that all matters referred by the Council to the various Committees appointed by me, should be investigat­ ed promptly by all the members of the Committee, and not by the Chairman of that particular Committee alone, and that they should report promptly to the Council, the result of their in­ vestigations, together with such recom­ mendation as to the action they think the Council ought to take in the matter.

The "game" was originally for the player to divide’ the sticks rapidly with his | two hands, the opponent guessing . which hand held th* larger number. Owners of sticks spent-rainy days In carving them. The Asiatics borrowed the game and carved more elaborate counters out of ivory. Those with dif­ ferent carvings grew to have different values. Arranging them In groups of fours made It necessary to add two to the original number. Then thin slabs off ivory began to be used. For centuries after this ail playing curds were hand painted, at first ou ivory or .metal, afterward on card­ board. The pictures, at first legendary heroes and ladies, gradually became the lilt'd, wood faced caricatures we now know, and these, coming back to Amer­ ica in their westward journey around the world, find our Pacific coast Indi­ ans still juggling the same kind of sticks their forefathers used. — New Thursday. Dr. Hlppolyte Barattoe of Paris an­ nounces that he has discovered a way of photographing “radiating mentality" and recording the human emotions of love, hate, auger, jealousy, insanity or of any other kind of quality that may exist. It is useless to try to disguise them before the telltale sensitized plates of Dr. Barattoe, who says bis dis­ covery makes it possible to prove the mental derangement of the moat'cun­ ning lunatic and reveal the heart emo­ tions of the meet outwardly calm aud placid lover. The only mind safe from the search­ ing Inquiry of the sensitized plate Is the normal one. It fails to make any Im­ pression, but a person In a <tt <of anger leaves on the plate an impression re­ sembling the convolutions of a cyclone. No camera is used. The sensitized plate, says a writer in the Chicago Trib­ une, covered with dull black paper, is brought into contact with the person whose emotionh are to be recorded. have in a account. The word “starvation” waaintroducod Into the English language by its coiner. Henry Dundas, afterward Vis­ count Melville. It was originally used by him In a speech in parliament on the American debate in 1775 and was Immediately caught up and applied to himself in a political nickname, so that be was known thenceforward as “Star­ vation'* Dundas.** “I shall not" such was his declara­ tion. "wait for the advent of starva­ tion from Edinburgh to settle <ny judg­ ment." Before the time of Dundas "starve,” ‘•starving,’' "starved’* and “starveling” weye in use, but hunger or famine rep­ resented the state of starvation. Although this word has now an es­ tablished place In onr vocabulary, it Was at first vigorously opposed by many, and ou just grounds, us of hy­ brid formation. The root "starve" is oM English, while the ending, "ation,” Is Latin. It does not appear in any English dictionaries until the year 1809. J, . .< ••• town. The work can be done /.. ..

Of late there have been many re­ quests from Banner subscribers to have their addresses changed. In order to do away with needless correspond­ ence we ask all who may wish to change the address of their Banner to kindly give the last postoflice address as well as the one where they wish to receive the paper. For instance if yuii formerly received the Banner at Quimby and wish it hereafter at Hastings all that will be necessary for yoU to write is “Please change my Banner from Quimby to Hastings.” Don’t forget to sign your uame*to your letter or postal.

A SKELETON CREW on the Spanish Flagship Raised at Manila. Manila. April 14.-r-The warship Reina Christina, flagship of Admiral Montojo, which was sunk by Admiral Dewey In Manila bay in the famous battle of May 1. 1898. has been floated and beached. The skeletons of about eighty of her crew were found In the hulk. One skeleton evidently was that of an officer, for It had a sword by its side. I There are fifteen shell holes In the hull of the Reina Christina, one made by eight-inch and the others small, j The main injection valve is missing,' showing the ship was scuttled when Admiral Montojo abandoned her. The hull is in fair condition. | Captain Albert R. Couden, command- ■ ing the naval station at Cavite, took charge of the remains of the Spanish sailors, expressing a desire to give them an American naval funeral. The Spanish residents, however, are anx­ ious to ship the skeletons to Spain, and It Is suggested that the United States transport Sumner convey them to Spain by way of the Suez canal In June. A wrecking company Is endeavoring to raise all the sunken Spanish war­ ships. Found Mormon Leader Young Dead.

Women’s Club. The Women's Club met Friday and carried out a most interesting program. Mrs. Hannah Barlow gave a talk on California, illustrating her remarks with various photographs of beautiful California scenery. Mrs. Barlow’s im­ pressions of the golden state were gleaned during a visit of a year or more and her travels extended to every portion of the state. She told of much that was new and interesting in a con­ versational style which was thoroughly enjoyed. Mrs. M. W. Wightman read a paper on “American Music and Com­ posers”.

Twice during the evening Prof. Neopol llano favored those present with selec­ tions on the violin^ Mrs. Archie McCoy and Miss Carrie Stebbins acting as accompanisls on the piano during the evening. Thos. Sullivan served as Toastmaster and in a most appropriate manner introduoed the speakers of the evening. The first speaker was Judge Smith, who responded to the theme “Our Country.” He spoke of the wonderful advance of our country, and of the loyalty and patriotism of the members of the Catholic faith. His remarks were interspersed with appropriate stories to emphasize some of the points dwell upon. Judge E. E. Doyle, of Grand Rapids, responded to the toast, the ‘Catholic Church in America,” calling attention to the very important part that mem­ bers of the Catholic Church have play­ ed in the history of our country from the time of its discovery down to thepresent, and of the loyalty of its mem­ bership to our American institutions. Hou. B. J. Onen, of Battle Creek, re­ sponded to the theme “Pope Leo.” the head of the Catholic Church, now in his 94th year. The speaker referred to his birth in 1810, of his early life, of the remarkable mental powers display­ ed in his youth, and of his advance­ ment to the head of the Catholic Church and of the great influence exercised by him in the affairs of today. The theme assigned to Hoh. W. W. Wedemeyer, of Ann Arbor, was “The American Soldier and Sailor,” As he bad but just returned from a trip to Cuba he asked permission to digress from the subject assigned him as he had heretofore spoken on that subject and speak of some of the sights he had seen on his trip, among them being the place where the first Mass was said on this hemisphere. He closed with an appropriate reference to Ireland and commended the efforts of Wm. E. Gladstone, the Grand Old Man, to se­ cure home rule for the Emerald Isle. “The Ladies" was the subject of a toast assigned to Mr. Chas. McGurrin, of Kalamazoo, and it was responded to in a most happy vein, those present be iug kept in a roar of laughter from the beginning to to the end of his remarks. The toast ’was replete with a degree of wit and humor that betokened a close acquaintance with his subject F. W. W alker, who was to have re­ sponded to the toast "Michigan” was unable to be present on account of ill­ ness. The evening was a most pleasant one, the toasts of a high order of merit and the banquet was a splendid suc­ cess throughout. Monday counsel for the Northern Securities Company filed an appeal from the recent decision of the United States circuit court, which ordered the dissolution of that corponrJon. The appeal is based upon the claim that there are 34 points of error in the de­ cision. Aiderman. Mr. ; Brooks after the sad death of his son removed from the first to the fourth ward. It became necessary of course to name hts suc­ cessor. Instead of naming a republi­ can, as it was expected they would do* the council appointed a i democrat, and the very one whom the people of the people of the first ward said, by their votes, that they did not want. Inas­ much as there are eight memljers of the council, and six Of them wereelected as democrats, the selection of a repub­ lican to succeed Mr. Brooks would have been no moire than; right. As it is, Aiderman Bennett jof the fourth ward is the on|]nrepublican left on the. board. From the Arlington. Minm, Enter­ prise we clip the Tollowing: "We havp been informed that the (ioard of Edu­ cation, at their regular meeting Tuteday evening, unanimously re-elected W. G. Bauer as Superintendent of our schools for the coming year at a con­ siderable increase of salary. That it was unanimous Hhows the high esteem in which Mr. Bauer is looked upon by the Board and also the perfect har­ mony that exists between them. Dur­ ing the past year our school has moved along without apy disturbance and we believe that the quiet stream runs deeply. We wish to congratulate MrBauer upon his election, the School Board upon their choice, and believo that this expresses the feeling of prac­ tically the entire community” Wo regret to state however, that on ac­ count of his wife’s health. Mr. Bauer will be compelled to decline the offer. He will probably return to Michigan* leaving Arlington abioat July 1st It may also interest out readers to know that Leon Bauer has been re-elected Superintendent of schools at Le Sueur* Minn. The closing lecture of the lecturw coune occurred Tuesday evening, thn speaker being Eugenie V. Debs, of Chi­ cago, his subject being “Labor anti Li­ berty.” Mr. Debs is a very pleasin* speaker and held thei close attention of his audience. Contrary to the expecta­ tions of many, the speaker indulged in no pessimistic references to present conditions, but on the contrary spoke of them in a hopeful, cheerful manner* confident that irr theend al! question* would be settled! aright* The greater, portion of his lecture was such aa would appeal to the sense of right of every man, who gives social problems any consideration. The formations of trusts he did not view with alarm, but regarded them tdmply as products of the evolution which is surely and steadily taking place In this country* tending to place everyone on an equal­ ity socially. The lecture throughout was replete with many truths, and waa very entertaining to listen to. Such a pleasing condition as the speaker । would like to tee would certainly be charming. It may perhaps all come t true some day, but for the present, and ( viewing it from the prtwent, the plan is Utopian, and can best be looked for­ ward to in the minds of there who arw gifted with a liaely imaginative. �DO NOT DOSE THE CUTICURA SOW Shultz.

In the author's graphic words, “went all around her bead like the equator on a globe.'’ This sort of thing is all very well when the bride is a rosy little dumpling of a woman. The worst of It Is that en­ gaged couples of every age and of the most unromantic appearance adopt the same style. "What shall I call you. my dearest own?”’ asks an Adonis of fifty, gaging with yearning tenderness on hlsTiride. "Call me Birdie, nothing but Birdie!” chirrups the lady whose weight might turn the scale at 200 pounds, as she nestles lovingly to his aide.

The majority of farmers consider oats a dangerous feed for chiekeris. The sharp points sometimes pierce the lin­ ing of the chicken’s crop, thus produc­ ing a severe Inflammation, usually re­ sulting in death. Some varieties of oats are stiffer and sharper pointed than others. Then we believe there is more danger when the fowls are allowed to gorge themselves than where given a limited quantity. All the cases we ever knew of where disease was caused by feeding oats the chickens went to the field or garden and ate all they wanted. We have fre­ quently fed oats to our laying hens with the best results. We feed at the rate of about two ta­ blespoonfuls to the hen in the morning, the hens having access to plenty of wa­ ter and grit. When oats are fed extra, care should Im? taken to provide the fowls with an abundance of grit and pure water. The water softens the hull of the oats, while the grit grinds IL Oats area bone and muscle making food and an egg producer.—Cor. National Stockman. !

Mrs. Hayes, of Boston, Mass., in the following letter tells how she was cured, after everything else failed, by Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound. Mrs. Hayes* First Letter Appealing' to Mrs. Pinkham for Help: “Dear Mrs. Pinkham: —I have l>een under Boston doctors’ treat­ ment for a long time without any relief. They tell me I have a fibroid tumor. I cannot sit down without great pain, and the soreness extends up my spine. I have bearing-down pains both back and front. My ab­ domen is swollen, and I have had flowing spells for three years. My ap­ petite is not good. I cannot walk or be on my feet for any length of time. “The symptoms of Fibroid Tumor given in your little book ac­ curately describe my case, so I write to you for advice.”—(Signed) Mrs. E. F. Hayes, 252 Dudley St, (Roxbury) Boston, Mass. Note the result of Mrs. Pinkham’s advice—al­ though she advised Mrs. Hayes, of Boston, to take her medicine — which she knew would help her — her letter contained a mass of additional instruc­ tions as to treatment, all of which helped to bring about the happy result “Dear Mrs. Pinkham:—Sometime ago I wrote to you describ­ ing my symptoms and asked your advice. You replied, and I followed all your directions carefully, and to-day I am a well woman. “ The use of Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound entirely expelled the tumor and strengthened my whole system. I can walk mues now. u Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound is worth five dol­ lars a drop. I advise all women who are afflicted with tumors or female trouble of any kind to give it a faithful trial.”—(Signed) Mr*. E. F. Hatm, 252 Dudley St, (Roxbury) Boston, Mass. Mountains of gold coaid not purchase such testimony — or take the place of the health and. happiness which Lydia E. Pinkham'* Vegetable Compound brought to Mrs. Haye*. Such testimony should be accepted by all women *8 convincing evidence that Lydia E.

Surely the volume and character of the testimonial let­ ters we are daily printing in the newspapers can leave no room for doubt Mrs. Hayes at her above address will gladly answer any letters which sick women may write for fuller information about her illness. Her gratitude to Mrs. Pinkham and Lydia E. Pinkham’s too Compound is so genuine and heartfelt that she things no tr great for her to take in return for her health and happiness.

It is especially true of recent years. The circulation per capita was 824.44 in 1W2, just before the demo­ cratic victory in that year. Then, with some fluctuations it went down, and it was only 821.10 in 1896, at the time when Bryan started his financial reign of terror.

The teacher and larger girls were recently given the joo of cleaning the school house and the money thus earned is to be expended for new curtains. So many requests have come from teachers asking for the names of the President’s cabinet that we think it best to preseht the list in the school Waiter Royal Mai thews. Since the announcement of the de­ tails of the suicide of Walter Roys) Matthews in the Banner last week. Shirley Smith of Ann Arbor, editor ot the “Michigan Alumnus” has called our attention to a letter written to the Alumnus by Mr, Matthews’ former chum in the Philippines, Philip P. Farnham, a Philippine teacher whom illness forced to return to this country. The editort personal acquaintance with Matthews’ solid, lovable character leads him to print a greater portion of the letter: “(•suppose it falls upon me to let the the Michigan friends of Walter Royal Matthews know that the cable report of two months since was only too, true. I had letters today from our old division superintendent that set all doubts aside. “Matthews shot himself through the brain at Pitogo, Tayabas Province, at 1:30 in the afternoon of February B». He died at 5 o’clock the same after­ noon without recovering consciousness, and that is all there is that can easily be told of the sad ending of a long, pitiful struggle with disease and lone­ liness'and discouragement. Matthews had been sick since last November and held on long after he should have come home. Only those who have hod the experience can understand how the utter loneliness of his life must have worn hjm out. When I left him last May he was planning heavy work along lines he had chosen for advanced study. I knew from letters received since I returned that he was unable to. keep himself at' his work and was get­ ting very much discouraged and very anxious to get home. The last letters I had from him. dated January 11, were of quite a different tone. He seemed to be feeling much better, was full of hope and vigor, and I was led to. doubt the truth of the report I had just received of his death. The letters apparently marked his last desperate attempt to get himself together andl keep up his work and spirits. In January he was moved from Gumaca, where we taught together, to Pitogo just across the island. Thia was at the urgent request of the people of Pltpgo, who offered great induce­ ments to get him to leave G'lumaca^ After he went to Pitogo he still kept the school going at Guamaca, sending instructions over by runner to hia native teachers there. In Pitogo ho was absolutely alone, the,only Ameri­ can in town, though the’natives were column. Secretary of State. John Hay. Secretary of Treasury. Leslie M. Shaw. Secretary of War. Rlihu Knot.

Hank did not kuow Hulda. He does not know her to this day. And yet it was none other than Hank who, all unknowing, unmasked her heart’s desire. • Hank O’Day drove to his lee wagon a pair of high' spirited horses. One morning when his w;u:on was empty his aesthetic instincts led him to lay his route back to the ice yards along the street that skirted tbe jwirk. Just as the chariot of fate was nenring Hulda’s home the chain at the back of tbe wagon slipped and let the end gate drag upon! the ground. Hank swore softly, stopped his team and .jumped to the pavement to fasten the chain. He jerked It quickly through the Iron rings and then—swore again as the team, alarmed by tbe sudden noise, galloped madly down the av^ nue and made straight for the nearest entrance to the park. The horrified Hank stood still long enough to see the end gate banging out defiance. Then he started after the runaways as fast as his rubber boots would let him run. When Officer James Daniels turned from hia faithful guardianship of a bevy of simpering nursegirls in the park, be saw coming toward him at full speed a pair of wild eyed horses and an ice wagon swaying from side to side. Behind the seat of the wagon stood a man trying desperately to get bold of the reins. In an Instant James recognized the waving yellow hair and pale features ns those of Hans Peterson, and iu tbe same moment, like an Inspiration, there came to him tbe realization of his op­ portunity. He ran out into the road­ way and as tbe flying wagon passed caught the chain of the end gate and swung himself into the box. As he gained his feet the wagon slowed suddenly, and he lurched for­ ward to bring up against the back of the sturdy Swede. Seizing him firmly by the collar. Officer Daniels gasped: “I arrest you—In, tbe name—of tbe Orc.idfal Attack ol Whooping Cough.

PAINE’S CELERY COMPOUND Does a Wondrous Work for a Lady Who Was Almost Crazed with Pain and Suffering. !• is well known that terrible rheumalism* •c. -.uca, and neuralgia cause more helpless­ ness, acute suffering, and agony, than any of the other diseases that afflict humanity. The great medicinal virtues of Paine’s Celery Com­ pound make it thc only trustworthy specific for the cure of all i rms of rheumatism and neuralgia. Tbousand.4 of strong testimonial letters from lhe most prominent people of the land, prove that Rune’s Celery Compound has banished these terribly fatal troubles when all other treatment has failed. Mrs. Mar­ garet Bethel, ©f Brainerdj Minn., after thirty years of agonising tortures had a desire to end her life, if it was the will of Heaven; she al­ most prayed for the lime to lay it down. Heaven-directdd, she made use of Paine’s Celery Compound, and is enjoying true life once more. She says:— •' For thirty years I have been a great suf­ ferer from neuralgia in thc head, and also with rheumatism in the whole body. I began taking Paine’s Celery Compound and soon found I was nmth belter. Before taking the Compound, my life was such a burden that I almost prayed to lay it down. I was bedfast every two weeks with horrible pain in tbe head, back, and neck, until I was almost crazed. I am able to do harder work and more of it today than for twenty-five years. I am really enjoying life again, thanks to Paine's Celery Compound.- I am satisfied that . . my - life has been prolonged many yeas bv us its use.' use.” by D Diamond Dyes Color Anything Any Color Hinkleys BoneLinihenJ; For Sore Throat For Diphtheria iiV.W irfcr. of China DeoiaredjFalse. !

V I The rainy weather last week caused ^several hoboes to seek the warm shelter of the county jail. On Friday Marshal Newton arrested Frank Mills . and George Gibson on a charge of vagroncy and hauled them up before। ■ Squire Riker who presented them with two days’ free board in the county jail. On Saturday Will Layton received three days for the same offense. A few of the I local democrats are seemingly greatly disturbed over the selection of Chas. M. Mack, and seek to , discredit his appointment by stating that he is a democrat or was last fall. If the republican county committee selected a democrat we should think it would be more 1 becoming for demo­ crats to rejoice,-rather than wail and tear their hair. C: pleasing and dainty design. During the past year the company has met with the most flattering success and their present line of excellent goods can augur nothing but a still brighter Pres. Woodrow Wilson, of Princeton University, speaking before the Stu­ dents’ Lecture Association on Patroltism said that patroitism was not a blind admiration for one's country, but future. a principle of action which expresses itself in a display of energy outside of selfish interest. As true service to a friend compels you to a task of)pain in helping them to correct their faults, so true service to your county obliges you to point out its ’errors and aid in its reformation. He would not have chil­ dren circle around the flag ahd sing sougs to it, unless they know what the flag stands for. It stands not for ig­ norant worship nor (or blind conform­ ity to the will of the majority, but for the independent opinion of the minor­ ity. It stands for the biggest kick on record—the American revolution. The flag’s white stripes represent lines of parchment declaring constitutional liberty, her red bars the blood which flowed in that declaration’s victory. Ours is an intellectual polity and men must think. You must not go to books, but where the pulses of the na­ tion beat and there study our institu­ tions and national character. We are a nation, yet have we the full national feeling? Are there no sectional differ­ ences, no tolerances? Every man should be a partisan, not a blind parti­ san, always following the same political party, but satisfying himself which is right, jump in and work with all his might Every man should be in poli­ tics, which doesn’t mean running for office. What we need is more men in politics and fewer men running for office; more men of the Roosevelt and Lowe type, who are in politics for the good they can do, irrespective of whether they are re-elected. In con­ clusion he said we should not speak of our executive as “Teddy.” The office demands that we should address him with respect and dignity. The bean crop of Michigan for sever­ al years past has exceeded in quantity that of any other states in the Union, and it is becoming a recognized fact that in quality there are no beans In the world that are so satisfactory as the grade known as “choice hand picked Michigan pea beans," they are the best for cooking, the moat tender in quality and the finest flavored to be found any­ where. This reputation should be maintained, which can only be done by keeping up the high standard of beans raised in the past few years, a well­ known dealer says. Monday ■ afternoon the republican county committee met in the court house for the purpose of recommend­ ing to Gov. »Bliss a suitable man for appointment to the offlce of J udge of Probate, made vacant by the death of the late Judge Mills. After mature de­ liberation the committee on the eighth ballot decided to recommend Chas. Mack, of Dowling. Mr. Mack is well , and favorably known throughout the entire county and at one time held the offlce of county clerk. He is a man of marked ability and if appointed would make an able and efficient ofllcer.

They easily proved, how­ ever, that they had returned to Hast­ ings on the midnight train and were re­ leased Monday when the clues regard­ ing the real robbers had been found. Tbe Middleville robbery is only one of a series of bold postoffiee rob­ beries which have recently been oommitted throughout this section of the state. All, especially the recent robberies at Cedar Springs and Coop­ era villa bear the unmistakable marks of a gang of clever professionals who have their headquarters at Toledo where they return after making a sueeemjful haul in some Western Michigan village. __________________ MIDDLEVILLE SATURDAY MORNING. Robbers Secure Nearly $1300 WOMEN’S CLUB. •rn Society” Dtocaawd. The Women’s Club met Friday at the City Hall. Only one paper was presented, that by Mrs. Nettie Van Auken on Moral Culture Demanded by Modern Society. This important topic was in able hands, and the wire thoughtful and exhaustive manner in which the theme was handled gave the listeners much to think of and much to commend. Some of the evils of our modem social system were freely touched upon with much earnestness and truthfulness. Moral culture as the speaker consid­ ered it is that which is intended to cor­ rect vice and impurity and to inculcate a moral sentiment. The social con­ ditions of renowned empires that have faded away were considered to show that when education had reached its acme of perfection, moral culture was conspicuous for its absence, and the nation's downfall followed. .Education along moral lines should be taught in at least three places—the school, the church, the home. The speaker de­ plored the fact that the educators who make the curiculum of study for our schools do not deem it necessary that the youth of the present day needs in­ spiration along moral lines. If a course of study could be introduced in our schools tending to give our boys and girls a deeper knowledge of themselves and their duties and obligations to others, yellow novela, cigarettes and improper notes would not be among the vices that school teachers have to deal with. The church, the writer be­ lieved. is the greatest factor at present for the advancement of morpl culture. Sabbath desecration was touched upon, and attention Called to the retrogres- • CtamAaad Society. Regular monthly meeting W. F. M 8. of the M. E. church will be heM Wednesday of next week, May 13, with Mrs. Arthur Paton at Cloverdale, hav­ ing here on the8.*4$ k tn. train and re­ turning on Che 3:45 p. m. train.

Instead of following the plain read­ ing of the law, the state tax commis­ sion added 8296,748,142 to the jactaal assessed value as reported by the coun­ ty clerks on the ground that the local assessors had failed to assess the prop­ erty at the real cash value. Juat why the above mentfoned sum was added | i instead of >600,000,000 ck any other sum the board does not attempt to ex­ plain. The result was that the aggre­ gate divisor in determining the rate of taxation was nearly >3(X),000,000 in ex. cess of the aaaemed valuation thereby at the time that there was any agree­ ment, and the flret time that republi­ cans ever heard that there was any agreement was through the Journal last week. The claim of the Journal that the Banner has ever fought, se­ cretly, openly or in any other way, any of tbe republican county candidates in the past is too false aud silly to even dignify with a denial. The Banner did oppose Gov. Pingree’s second elec­ tion, and Gov. Bliss' second election. We do not deny this; we feel proud of our position, and will take the same stand again under similar circum­ stances.

Bowser's ten days, is worse again. There seems to be a groat deal of sickness and death among horses this spring. G. Hinchman of Hastings was at this place last week buying hay. People seem to think the electric road through here is a sure thing and we hope it is. Berten Bowser is delivering bills for the concert to be given by the Albion College Glee Club at Bedford Wednes­ day evening. May 6th, for the benefit of the High school. Ed Moore has had his old barn moved back making room for the new. Dick Quick has been a mail carrier of late, as Mr. Abbey is sick. ii- - i-i <«4 houses on Wuuhtogton Street. Geo. D.

The court house yard is at present adorned by a large atone bearing a striking resemblance to a chair. The stone was presented to the county by P. A. Sheldon who bought it of George W. Smith of Carlton. The annual tax sale began at the treasurer's office in the court house Tuesday and wiU continue for twenty days. Most of the desirable property, however, was sold the first day when the total sales amounted to S134.87. Although definite arrangements have not yet been completed, it is very prob­ able that Leon Spaulding will soon be a partner in the grocery business with W. A. Hams. Mr. Spaulding has been a resident of this city until the last two or three years and is very well and fa­ vorably known here. He can not but add strength to a firm which has long been one of the strongest and most popular in the city. We notice by the Associated Press dispatches that Fr. Francis Van Ant­ werp, of Detroit, who was formerly iu charge of St Bose’s parish of this city, has arrived in Rome with President Roosevelt’s jubilee gifts to the Pope. He will also present to the Pope a gold­ en scroll on which are inscribed 25,000 signatures of persons who have sub Yankee Springs.

Indications are that ^‘tigh schools tn tho county will be on hand to compete in tbe various sports. Simon Woolfam of Grand Rapids, recruiting officer for tbe United States .army has been stationed at the Parker House during the past week. Mr. Wool fam has met with a considerable degree of success, having secured the enlistments of Ed Webber and Elwood Smith, who left yesterday morning for Columbus Barracks, Ohio, where they will enter the service of Uncle Sam. Albion college is banking heavily upon the work of Louis Striker, the nine’s star pitcher, in this season’s game. Striker is the nephew of the late Daniel Striker of Hastings, who for several years had entire charge of the college endowment fund. Louis Is now spending his second year in col­ lege and his second on the baseball team. Last year in the outfield his work was always characterized by quickness and accuracy in judging flies, and his almost unfailing certainty in securing them. As a base runner he was unsurpassed on last year’s cham­ pionship team. Although it was then generally known that he possessed some ability as a pitcher, his work in the university game this year came as a moat agreeable surprise to those who had not seen any of the practice games. —Sunday Detroit Free Preet. .

Editor Banker: I read your article last week concerning Wm. Flamboyant Hicks, and beg to thoroughly disagree your line of reasoning. What is the use of scattering city offices around to Tom, Dick and Harry, anyway? Why not centralize what few there are left and put them all into one man’s hands and hold him responsible?

Wednesday, �;_________ L • H ■ ■ ——- --------------- B . J. Elbert Cutter, a port graduate stu­ dent at Yate, with an evidently grue­ some turn14,of 'W. mind, has recently com M<y piled some statistics of lynchings during the past twenty years which seem to rather upset the usually received ideas on that subject According to Mr. Cutler 1872 negroes have been lynched since 1883 while 1256 whites have left the world in the same hurried manner. This proves conclusively that negroes are pot tbe only ones to stretch hemp a la Judge Lynch. Another idea, that these are mostly to avenge criminal as­ saults, is refuted by the statement that ionljr 35 per cent of the negroes were.charged with that crime. , The first decade of the period under investi­ gation was most fruitful in lynchings owing possibly to the fact that the western cattie owners took summary vengence on all despoilers of their herds. This stern method of punish­ ing cattle thieves made the business too precarious for comfort and the cause being removed, lynchings rapidly decreased in that portion of the coun­ try. During the first part of tbe twenty years indicated, 61 women were lynched but of recent years the lynching of women has been quite rare. Although people are seemingly awakening to the hideousness of lynching, the author ad­ visee an appeal to the public pocket as most effective. By subjecting the offending county to a fine of 85,000 to be paid to the family of the deceased Mr. Colbert thinks the lynching habit would become speedily unpopular. personal nt Obituary.

Dto- The Barry County Sunday School Convention for the year 1908 held at North Costleton church last week, to passed so far as dates are concerned but it will be many days before it wilj pass from the minds of those who were present at the convention. We speak conservatively when we say that it was a success from the beginning to the end. These were the expresions we heard af­ ter adjournment: “The best convention weever had,” “That was fine,” “Not half long enough,” etc. When E. K. Mohr, of Grand Rapids, and the Barry county secretary arrived at the North Castleton Church on Tues­ day evening, they found the building filled to the doors. As these gentlemen entered they were greeted with ap­ plause. After devotions led by the pas­ tor, Rev Crites, Mr. Mohr delivered an address on “Sunday School Evangeliza­ tion” which was listened to by that large audience for a full hour without apparent weariness, after which a com­ pany of local young people rendered in a very creditable manner a cantata en­ titled "Joseph’ and His Brethren.” An offering was taken which fully met the demands of the hour and after the benediction the convention adjourn­ ed until the next day. Promptly at nine o’clock next mom* ing the convention was called to order, a good audience being present. After the report of the state convention held at Lansing last fall, by Rev. ('rites, the regular work of the convention waa taken up. • Rev F. E. Armstrong of Nashvill^ Rev. F. Kohler of Cloverdale. Rev. Geel of Hastings, Hastings, Rev. Rev. A. A. W. W.

Brooks pro ceeded to make it warm for eight of ten of the fishermen who have recently been violating the fish laws in and around Thornapple lake. As a result of the round-up, William Main, Fred Nesbit, Chester Hyde, Andrew Town­ send, Floyd Jordan, Harty Dexter, and Chartea Vandlan plend gtiilty and were assessed five dollars and costs. Irving Mapes and Joe! Demond plead not guilty and their trial wad set for Tues­ day but when they come to think things over they plead guilty and settled up to the tune of $5 and $10 costs. COUNTY HEID DAY TO BE HELD IN THIS CITY SAT­ URDAY, JUNE 6TH. Middleville, Freeport, Woodland, Nashville and Hastings Schools to Participate. Arrangements are fast being com­ pleted for the High School Field Day to be held in this city, Saturday, June 6th, and as all the high schools in the county have signifiied their intention of being present, everything bids fair for a rousing success. Several good prizes will be put up, among them a trophy cup to be given by F. R. Bancroft to the school win­ ning the greatest number of points in the several events. In the afternoon the Fred L. Heath relay • cup will be run for. This cup must be won three times before It becomes the permanent property of any school and as the local school has twice secured the trophy, it is need toss to say they will make every effort to capture it for keeps this time.

Just aa Henry Lewis m watchman Lewie hkd started on his rounds of building No. 1 at the Grand Rapids Bookcase* factory shortly after 4:30 Sunday afternbon, he was numbed and struck down b^ a bolt of lightning. When he was able to get up he discovered that the lightning had struck in the cabinet rpom on the second floor and that fire had started as a result. He hastened to turn in the fire alarm and then begjm to fight the fire while awaiting the The Herald’* Spasm. Our contemporay, the Herald, rushed to the defense of its political friend and God-father, W. F. Hicks, last week la up-to-date “me too” style, as waa to ba expected. With the Herald it Is ail right that Mr. Hicks should hold half a dozen prominent political positions in city affairs, and there is an evident tone of regret that he should have been so scantily remembered. Our contemporary lauds Mr.Hicks aa “one of our moot public spirited and popular citithns.” That Mr. Hieks to popular, especially in bis own party. It is only necessary to reflect that he to holding half a dozen prominent posi­ tions. We are also prepared to admit that he is very public spirited—especi­ ally when the public pays for it. Hto personal sacrifices for the good of the city, as far as we know of, certainly wouldn’t put him in the Carnegie class. For instance when the subscription pa­ per was passed to secure the Grand Rap­ ids Bookcase factory for this city Mr. Hicks subscribed ^10.00, but the amount hasn’t been paid. When the subscription paper was passed to se­ cure the Barber Chair Co. Mr. Hicks declined to subscribe. Of course if arrival of the department and with the assistance of others who had arrived on the scene he was able to train several streams of water on the fire and keep in from the machine and boiler rooms. The fire department arrived in short order and soon had the water playing oh the fire and In a short time had the voting away other people’s money to tiro under control although it was near­ being public spirited we are quite ly two hours before the flames were agreed with the Herald that Mr. Hicka ektinguished and even then fire is one of the most public spirited men Ike out again about 11 o’clock at in town—in fact we don’t know of his ht. equal. ’he fire department is to be sincerely But personally we feel as though gratulated on their excellent work Mr. Hicks can well afford to be quite it was only by the greatest efforts liberal in doing things for the upbuild­ part thatthat the the fire loss was confined t Ittheir is estimated to stock ing of the city. theprocess cabinetof room and prevented under manufacture and the First—There to the sprinkling busi­ damage to the building and machinery m spreading to the rest of the facness.

Comes oftener, stays longer. Unless the kidneys are relieved. Doan's Kidney Pills cure all kidney ills. J Hastings people indorse them. Mr. C. Barnes, clerk in the Hastings Hotel, living on Dibble street, says: ‘Some five years ago, when living In Grand Rapids I had an attack of kid­ ney complaint causing severe pain in the small- of my back over the kidneys. The kidney secretions were irregular and highly colored. At times I cculd hardly attend to my work and every morning I was so lame and stiff I could hardly get around. Seeing Doan’s Kid­ ney Pills spoken of so highly I bought a box. It helped me from the start and it was only a short time until all my trouble disappeared. My wife also used Doan's Kidney Pills with the same results. We always keep them in the house so as to have them in case of a recurrence." Just such emphatic en­ dorsement is plentiful in Hastings, (.’all at W. H. Goodyear’s drug store and see what his customers report. For sale by all dealers; price 50c a box Foster-Milburn Co., .

To account for this alleged change the Press article asserted that der the writer had a great ambition to go to congress; and that in order to pave the way for this desire to succeed Con­ gressman Hamilton, the writer had reached an. understanding with Mr. P­ T. Colgrove, whom the Press termed “an anti reformer,” meaning an enemy of primary reform. And the Herald heads its comments and publication of the article with a question to the writer as to the correctness of the There is no reason why the curiosity of our contemporary should not be gratified.

The last official days of few public men have been so pitiful as those of Lieut.-Gen. Nelson A. Miles, who will be placed on the retired liat on August Uth next. Few military men in the last thiry yearshave had so brilliant a career aa General Miles aud up to the last few years few men have been so generally liked.

On Monday next will be observed With fitting ceremonies the 100th anni­ versary of one of the few great literary men whom our country produced. It would be difficult to uame another American whose established place in letters equals that of Emerson, unless it be Hawthorne, the perfection of whoee art puts him on a different peak, perhaps as high aa Emerson Is put by his energy and range of insight. Walt Whitman is too nearly among the liv­ ing to be judged, but his ideals were more confused than those of Emerson, his message less pure and universal, more individual and, as it were more journalistic. Emerson is the largest •xpreuion of New England faith and A go° Paper, f plaitic finish, ah BerKCJ a pintyears an each yea Am*’ a pintforma carpet bn of that n A big Wind" Paints one gallo has no desire for any office. F. R. Pancoast to the position of Comtaander In'Chief of the United States army, and his sueceasful struggle against great difficul­ ties only endeared him to the public. He also possessed the unmistakable friendship of the war department which could not but look with favor upon'a man who had so honorably performen his duty in the west. At the time, however, when General Miles had been placed at the head of the army, instead of properly enjoying the dignity of his position, he began to develope a strong inclination for poli­ tics, and political ambition came to wreck the career of a brave and bril­ liant soldier. This was the turning point in his career. It seemed to blind him to the merits of all officers and public men who did not at once become his followers. Disappointment turned to malice. One of the finest soldiers in the army became as petulant and gar­ rulous as an old man lu his dotage. Put aside be the republicans, he turned to the democrats and no schem­ ing politician has ever gone farther in self stultification, in cajoling tradition­ al enemies and in questionable service against the administration which kept him in power. The democrats are welcome to Gen­ eral Miles as a presidential candidate. In so far as hostility to governmental policy and the army is concerned, Gener­ al Miles is but the logical successor of McClellan, who tried in vain to defeat the patriotic policies of Abraham Lin­ coln.

Mr. Colgrove has expressed pri­ vately to the writer, and I am in­ formed, publicly, at the last meeting of the State League pf Republican clubs held In Grand Rapids in February last, very advanced ideas on the subject of primary reform, and a willingness to have more radical action in that direc­ tion than the writer believes to be wise at this time. Therefore it is unjust to class Mr. Colgrove as an enemy of pri­ mary reform. The fact that he has favored even more advanced views on primary reform than the writer, would preclude the surrender of the latter’s Goodyear Bros Heath the spri (rom. 206-208-210 Main St yCaVryeaUMtoflfc NEW DISHES The past History is a Guarantee convictions on that subject. Pennsylvania’s Libel Law. Another example of the astounding lengths to which the modem grafter will go to gain his point is clearly shown in the passage of the Pennsyl­ vania press muzzling bill, which has1 just been signed by Governor Penny* packer of that state. Ln a letter giving his reasons for signing the bill, Govern­ or Pennpacker says that the purpose of the bill is to exterminate yellow jour­ nals and to prevent the printing of un­ truths or half-truths which would be injurious to the community or to an in­ dividual. He also dwells at some length on the evils of the cartoon which it is desired to suppress. No one however can hope to remain blind to the real purpose of the bill which is nothing else than to prevent the exposure of the boodlers and cor­ ruptionists with which the Quaker state literally teems. * One secton of the law makes it ille­ gal to print any article which will hurt the feelings of any person whatsoever, Accordingly, under the provisions of this law no paper can hope to expose the proceeding of any ring of corrup­ tionists without incurring the displeas­ ure of the law and being subject to trial before a judge who is generally the political puppet of the ring, and it is very evident as the Philadelphia Ev­ ening Bulletin says, that the bill was in­ troduced for the sole purpose of afford­ ing extraordinary protection to political criminals andto continue in power the most corrupt political organisation that ever dominated a state. That It is not primarily directed against yellow jour­ nalism is shown by the fact that con­ servative newspaper men like Charles Emory Smith have been among the bill’s most uncompromising enemies from the very beginning. When one reflects that it was the daily press that revealed the disgusting and nauseating political filth of St. Louis and Minneapolis, It will be very evident that Pennsylvania has struck on rocky indeed. 4. The writer believes thoroughly in the necessity of clean and holiest meth­ ods in politics. 1 believe also in so safeguarding our primaries and con­ ventions as to reduce to the minimum the temptation and opportunity for po­ llticai boodiing. I' litical boodiin?. I believe.In believe>in the reprenreaentative system in party as well as In city, county, state and national af­ fairs: aud that the representative sys­ tem of psrty affairs should be Inter­ fered with only where It is morally cer­ tain that good results will follow. I believe In majority aud not minority rale. The republican party bas twice tn Michigan declared for primary elec­ tion reform. It did not Indorse any particular measure, and bas never de­ clared In faror of abolishing the con­ vention system. I believe; the republi­ can legislature should give the people a safe, workable, easily understood, con­ servative primary law that would not abolish the convention system. Give the people a chance to test itjin their local and county affairs, or even for the governorship if that seems desir­ able If the people like the plan they will see that it is extended. If they do noh they will see that It Is repealed. But the party Is under obligation to give it a trial to such an extent that the people can satisfy themselves as to its merits. 5. The writer does not believe a primary election law will accomplish what he once thought It would—the elimination of “boodle In politics.” It will give rich candidates an advantage over their poorer opponents. It will permjt minorities to rule, since major­ ity rule la not demanded under primary reform laws. He bellevee such a law will enhance the power of the cities ;and diminish the political power of the ,country districts. Its advantages will be that all the caucuses will be held on (one day, and that the voter will go Into .a booth and fix his own ticket without । the possibility of having anyone know |how he has voted. Thia will, of itself, (discourage the corruption of caucuses: . 6. The writer does not believe men can be made good by law.

INVESTIGATION He Regards Charges* Made by Tulloch Against Auditor and Comptroller as Most Serious—Will Try to Secure Money Alleged to Have Been Lost. Washington, May 19.—PostmasterGeneral Payne Monday sent letters to the comptroller of the currency, the auditor for the postoffice department and other officials, calling their atten­ tion to statements made by ex-Cashier Tulloch in his communication of last Sunday. The letters ask for any ex­ planation or further information that might throw light on the subject The tnrmal charges of Mr. Tulloch. Mr. Payne said, have been dissected and that matter relaxing to particular branches of the service referred to the bureaus having jurisdiction for report Mr. Payne said last night that he re­ garded the charge against the auditor and the comptroller as the most seri­ ous of the allegations. Ho said that if those officials “allowed improper ac­ counts to be audited, or suppressed, what might be called pay dirt* had been found,*, the charges, he said, im­ pugn their good faith and Integrity. The postmaster-general was asked regarding .the charges against Mr. Heath and George W. Beavers, former­ ly chief of the division of salaries and allowances, and as to what effect the fact that they were out of the service would have in the consideration of their cases. “If any improper act was done by anyone now in office, 'or by anyone who is not now in office, so far as It might reflect on the department, we will investigate It. Mr. Tulloch as cashier,'* he said, “did not know what work any set of clerks was doing: only the postmaster-general, the assist­ ant postmaster-general or those who bad charge of that part of the work would know. Some of those allega­ tions that no work was performed are now being Investigated. If anyone has drawn money without doing any ser- ■ vice we will try to get tho money back from them. We will demand the re­ covery of the money. The responsible party Is.the postmaster of Washington, who should have known whether they , were doing any work. I suppose tho postmaster involved is the one now dead, Mr. WilletL” Mr. Payne was asked if Mr. Machen would be permitted to resign. “Mr. Machen will not resign,*’ he an­ swered. “at least I understand so. It Is safe to assume that he will not a«k it I have reason to believe that be will not resign or ask to be permitted to resign.” SERIOUS CHARGES o!dm the BashLBazouks in maltreat­ Ing Bulgarians.* FRIDAY.

There are perhaps as talehted and able teachers to be had as Mr. Bauer has shown himself to be, but they are scare, and when found, gener­ ally command higher figures than our board of education is willing to pay. For the good work he has done here he deserves commendation. When he leaves this city he will take with him to his new sphere of activity, not only the best wishes of this community, but their hearty approval. Le Sueur peo­ ple are not slow to appreciate faithful and competent service and we have had both from Mr. Bauer. A spirit and enthusiasm has been infused into the cause of education in our midst through his agency that will not easily be lost. Let us hope that his successor may be one who will keep up the high standard left bjr Mr. Bauer and that our schools may mot lose loo much by the change.—Lapucur Minn. Tlm«.

Jhst as the little fellow was about to take a drink of water from the large tin dipper, which had been provided for use rather than ornament on tbd boat, the man at the throttle pulled a rope which blew! the whistle. The boy dropped the dipper and run crying to bls mother. "Why, Howard," she said, “you are surely not afraid of a whlstlel" "No,” he yelled, "but that Is too big a whistle for such a little boy!"—De troit Free Press.

We notice that several townships of the state are requiring the payment of highway taxes in money and are abol­ ishing the old system of working out the taxes. This is a step in the right direction and will be a material benefit to the cause of good roads. For many years the rural highway work has been done in a desultory and ineffective sort of manner and conse­ quently the results have been anything but gratifying. Under the new order of things a sensible highway commis­ sioner backed with a considerable amount of ready money can make im­ provements where they will count and by a consistent policy of doing nothing which will not be permanent can ma­ terially improve the condition of rural highways.

Despite the unfav­ orable weather about fifty or sixty were present and nearly ail the mrm here of the Bar from the County with their wives or sweethearts were in at­ tendance. When it is stated that the food for the Inner man was prepared by. the Episcopal ladi -a. it is safe to conclude that the refreshments, and the serving of them, were all that could be desired. After the banquet proper. Judge Clement Smith, toastmaster for the oc­ casion, in well chosen remarks compli­ mented the Association on the success of its sixth, as well as upon an unbrok­ en record of snccdssful meetings. He concluded his remarks by intro­ ducing Hon. Russell C. Ostrander, of Lansing, who responded to the sent! ment “Legal Education and Admission to the Bar.” Mr. Ostrander is a member of the State Examining Board whose1 duties require them to determine whether can­ didates for admission to the Bar, who are not graduates of the State or De­ troit Law Schools, shall be admitted to practice, and is therefore very compet­ ent to speak on thia topic. He began by stating that when a young man applies for admission to the Bar he asks the state to confer upon him a life term of office. There­ fore the State has a right to know as to his fitness for such office, morally as well as intellectually, and should be certain of it on both grounds. When the lawyer was admitted he became an officer of the Court: .. he was given corp. mission to do certain things In behalf of the public: and to assume very large . 4 ° responsibilities in which the public were directly or indirectly concerned. His recounting of the history of the growth of the legal profession in Eng­ land and this country was very inter­ esting and was ably and forcefully pre­ sented. He insisted that the questions which now came before the lawyer for solution were so vastly much more complicated than those which arose in the earlier days of the profession that there was far more need of insistence upon a thorough education, thorough knowledge of the law, and a sound moral character. Every* young lawyer present must have been deeply interested in what Mr. Ostrander said and we know that all will commend his position, that the state should insist'upon moral as well as legal qualifications for admission to the bar. He strongly urged, and we believe it to be just, that there should be a state commission duly authorized by law to examine every candidate for admission to the bar whether a candidate from a law school or not, to the end that char­ acter, manhood and integrity be insist­ ed upon as strenuously as proper knowl­ edge of the law. Mr. Aaron Clark, ofJMiddleville, re­ sponded to the toast “Something.” He had not known until late Saturday that he was to appear upon the proon tn AMist those who gram, but he did so to assist,theme wno prepared the program because t y were disappointed over another who I had expected to take a place Nevertheless he was fully thereon. ‘ equal equal to iv the wiv occasion. .—••• -He ­ gave the ]aWyCr8 “Something,” aud something | . l0 0^ about. That WU4VU "uuu! _____ which be desired to impress most upon those who heard him was that law rules everything, and that we all are subject to law as well as all things in the Universe. Law should therefore seek to b« the embodiment of justice and the nearer it could approach the divine ideal of the Sermon on the Mount, the more completely would it fit the needs of society and be found to remedy its troubles. Hon. Wm. McKnight was expected to reepoad to the .object “Thl« That preme Court of Michigan was the last upon the program. His topic was “The Supreme Court of the State.” J ustfce Carpenter stated that he had had various opportunities to study the Supreme Court. First as a lawyer, then as a Circuit Judge, and now as a member of that court. As a lawyer, he had felt that the Supreme Court was subject to much criticism. When he entered upon his duties as Circuit Judge, and knowing from experience what it was to decide the difficult and complicated .questions that came be­ fore him, bis respect for the Supreme Court measurably increased. N«w as a member of that body, and ha.iag a more thorough knowledge of his assoc­ iates who were members of ttat Cvurt, he was convinced that whatever errors they might make, the disposition of the >upreme Court was to render only such decisions as were in harmony with a right and righteous application of the law of the.State to the questions involved. Through those four great Justices of the Supreme dourt, Cooley, Campbell, Christiancy ahd Graves. the Supreme Court of Michigan had been made to take rank as the very first, if not the very first of the Supreme Courts of the States of the Union. He stated that their great fame have made It improbable that their success­ ors could reach such eminence as Su­ preme Justices, but they had blazed the pathway in which their successors could safely follow. Music for the occasion was furnished by the Mandolin Club, and it was very enjoyable and contributed not a little to the pleasure of the occasion. Ata meeting of the association held immediately after the adjournment of the circuit court, Monday afternoon, the following officers were elected for the ensuing year: WHOLE NO. 2494.

Figures Made to Increase Assessment of the Bpot, Table and Seal Factories 105 Per Cent. the assessments 105 per cent., the man* agers of these factories, who have in­ vested their money in good faith, can­ not be censured for construing such a course as an unfriendly one toward their institutions, and will govern then^ eelves accordingly. That a community knowing Mr, Hick’s selfish course in politics, his greed for office and his revengeful na­ ture, and the expenses he has saddled upon this city, would yet elect him to an office where he could take the stand he does toward the factories of thia city, is amazing. Possibly it is of no interest to this city that these factories are at this time employing over 300 hands, and have a weekly pay roll of over 32800. But we believejit is highly interesting, and Is likely to prove more so, if such men as W. F. hicks are to dictate the policy of this cit|.

The Board of Review of this city i taking a course toward its manufactur­ ing concerns which is so unjust and un­ fair that we believe it will work dis­ aster to the city. The animus is plain.

That daughter is a precious legacy, and the responsibility for her future is largely in the hands of the mother. The mysterious change that develops the thoughtless girl into the thoughtful woman should find the mother on the watch day and night. As she cares for the physical well-being of her daughter, so will the woman be, and her children also. When a young girl’s thoughts become sluggish, when she expert* enoes headaches, dizziness, faintness, and exhibits an abnormal disposk tion to sleep, pains in the back and lower limbs, eyes dim, desire for solitude, and a dislike for the society of other girls, when she is a mys­ tery to herself and friends, then the mother should go to her aid promptly^ At such a time the greatest aid to nature is Lydia E.

It was imposed by the Mantcboo Tar­ tars. the present rulers of China, as a badge of conquest Previous to 1C44 the Chinese clothed themselves and dressed their hair like the modern Japanese—that la, like the Japanese who still wear, what Is incorrectly known as the “beautiful native dress of Ja­ pan.” As a matter of fact the Japan­ ese borrowed their drew as well as their literature, philosophy and early art from the Chinese. The Japanese dress is that of the Ming period in China, 1368 to 1044. But where did the Mantcboo Tar­ tars get the cue? They depended as a race almost for their existence upon the horse. The accepted theory is that out of gratitude and respect for his noble ally the Tartar, so far as be could, took on himself the equine form and grew a cue In imitation of a horse’s tall. This somewhat grotesque theory might fall to the ground save that It Is supported by striking evi­ dence. Official coats as seen In China at the present day are made with peculiar sleeves, shaped like a horse's leg and ending in an unmistakable hoof, cov­ ering the band, which are known as "horseshoe sleeves.” Incased therein a Chinn man’s arnis look much like a horse’s fore legs. The tall completes tbe picture. "Coffee chewing” says n doctor, “is a habit easily contracted, for tbe taste of the crisp roasted berries Is not un­ pleasant, and the Exhilaration, tbe stim­ ulus, that the berries give is quite as marked us that which would be obtain­ ed from u glass or two of beer or from a drink of whisky. "It is this exhilaration, I am convinc­ ed, that causes the habit to be formed and that maizes It a bard habit to break away from. It should be broken away from. Its effects are highly injurious. They are more injurious than those of tobacco chewing. "The coffee chewing habit wrecks the nerves, it makes the skin sallow and it destroys the appetite. I have had oc­ casion to treat a number of men for it I always advise such men to break off by imperceptible degrees; to give three or four months to tbe task. Some suc­ ceed and some do not. Men who work in coffee plants find it almost Impoeslble to succeed."—New York Tribune.

OF PRIMARY BILL AGREEMENT tenatcrs Will Compromisa Proposition of Nominating Legislators—Bliss Will Veto Van Zoeren’s Bill Relative to Grand River. Lansing. Mich., May’26.—It does not look as if the conference committee tn primary election will get together at its meeting tonight. Blair, chair­ man of the senate conferees, says a compromise proposition, conceding a direct vote on candidates for the legis­ lature. will be offered the house con­ ferees tonight. He says: "We'll give them about fifteen minutes to accept and then we’ll quit if they don’t. Some of the boys would prefer to concede a direct vote on candidates for gover­ nor instead.” •‘That would be to keep control of the legislature for the United States senatorship fight’" was suggested. "I suppose so.” replied Baird. "But as a matter of fact we’ll have the same crowd back here next session, primary election or no primary election.” Representative Wade is standing pat with Representative Powell and prob­ ably Representative Colby with him. for hte direct nomination oi candi­ dates for governor. He has received this telegram from E. A. Holden, chair­ man of the legislative committee of th’? state grange: "The people are with you. Vote for no bill that doesn’t include governor.” "I apt going to take that advice." says Wade. "As I feel just now. I won’t accept th? senate compromise proposition, and If necessary will pre­ sent a minority report to the hoos”. if a majority of the conferees do vol ? to accept. I would prefer no bill to on? thit does fiot Include governor and lieutenant-governor." All of which means that there will hardly be any adjournment this week. Another Veto Coming. Governor Bliss has decided to veto the Van Zoeren bill, to prevent the pollution of Grand river at Grand Rap­ ids from the intake of the city water­ works to a point twelve miles north. The hill was introduced to protect the qi»y water supply from pollution by the sewage of the Michigan Soldiers’ Home aud ether institutions above the source of vipply. The time limit for vetoing th*- bill will expire at 11 o'clock, and a veto "'as drafted in the governor s office last night. Tt is reported that the governor will take the position that the bill violates a promise made by Grand Rapids citi­ zens when the Soldiers’ Home was lo­ cated In that city. He claims the home was located there on the promise that tbe river could be used as an out­ let for the sewage. Tbe governor was a member of the commission selected to procure a site for the institution. and after a deadlock which continued three days, be calls attention to the fact that it was his vote that located th? home in that city and one of the inducements for changing bis vote was the facilities offered for disposing of sewage into Grand river. ‘"“«^coun.

About Primary Reform. The Grand Rapids Herald criticises the Banner for condemning the un­ just attacks of the city press of Michi­ gan upon State Senators. The bare statement of that proposition shows that the Herald has no reason to critir der a primary law brt yw, and. that men were hired to do work and to hire voters to attend the primary elections. We ask tbe Herald if this is not so. We understood it t^at way at the time. If* the facts are as claimed, do they not pnhe that there can be corruption in. primary elections? If so, then they are not a cure-all for Michigan’s politi­ cal ills, and we had better go safe and slow, rather than be stampeded into something whoee value must be proven by experience. 1 Loader Mia.

Thanks to the republican party, under the able leadership of such men as McKinley and Roosevelt, the nation has been lifted out of the financial depths Into which it was plunged during the democratic rule of Grover Cleveland and today there is nb more prosperous public on the face of the earth. No man is idle who has the slightest desire to work and the per capita amount of good honest dollars iu circulation is more than ever before in any nation. * Moreover, the present condition is not the result of a mushroom growth bat it rests upon a strong and conserva­ tive foundation. It is not a speculative prosperity and there is not the slightest reason why the present condition of affairs should not become permanent unless the votera of the country, strangely forgetful of the good work which has been done by the republican party should at some future time vote for a restoration of democracy and another period of the Grover and Clover times. At present there ia absolutely no issue about which the opponents of triumphant republicanism can rally, un­ less perhaps it be a personal one against the president and the immense popu­ larity of Theodore Roosevelt complete­ ly eliminates such an issue. The great republican party has played the part of the good steward and has increased the value of its trust many timee, conse quently the people who form the most {•rosperous public on earth will unite 11 keeping that party in power rather than entrust the nation’s manifold and complex interests to the keeping of a party which has ever shown itself un­ equal to the task of maintaining pros parity and confidence. . urday evening.

Cloverdale. The Cloverdale Band played at Prai­ rieville on Decoration day and under the able leadership of Mr. James Trox­ el of Hastings rendered some fine mu­ sic for the occasion. The Delton band was also present and did splendidly. The address by the Rev. Van Auken of Hastings was worthy of the occasion. Many of our citizens from this vicinity attended the exercises. Decoration day seems to be a time when new acquaintances are formed and old ones renewed aud. it is to be noticed that bygone memories of de­ parted loved ones are revived and we are all made better by our devoting one day annually to strewing flowers upon the graves of our departed friends.

This plan takes no account of the efforts being put forth by Senators Glasgow and Vaughan to secure a com­ promise bill. Senator Glasgow^ name, whether justly or unjustly, is connect­ ed with the new scheme. Just wheth­ er the machine will try to force into operation such a scheme as the above will not be finally decided until confer­ ence is held today, which the nine Colby bill senators declare they will not attend. Other rumors are in the air. one to the effect that the house will be of­ fered a ccncesslon on circuit judges and justices of the supreme >court, while a few senators strenuously main­ tain they would prefer- to concede the governorship rather than the legisla­ ture. It Is quite possible- the senate ma­ chine is preparing to make one more gigantic bluff to the house tn the hope that the house may not call it as It did before. -Part of the scheme is said to be the appointment by President Ful­ ler of another stonewall conference which will concede nothing to the house beyond the original Baird bill. The whole performance leaves the date of adjournment as problematical aa ever, some of the legislators talking of Friday of this week and others of Thursday of next week. Short Sessions Monday NightThe senate was in session one hour last evening. Six bills .were passed, among which were the Master bill, re­ vising and codifying the Insane laws, and the Stone bill, for the sale of state1 lands. President Pro Tem Fuller appointed I Senators Burns, Simons and Water-1 bury as the senate conference commit­ tee on the Burns-Westover game bill. The house returned the Ashley bill. | making an appropriation | of |3.500 for, the state geological department, and • upon motion of Senator Moriarty it was laid upon the table. . In the hoti?n last night Representa-; tive Ashley of Detroit offered a resolu­ tion fixing the date of business ad-' journment for June 12 and final ad­ journment for 'une 19. Randall, the anti-primary f .mer leaden said he thought adjournment could be taken ‘ thia week, and had the resolution re-1 ferred to the committee on geological j survey, of which Ashley Is chairman. Ashley says he will report out the res­ olution and try to bring it to a vote. Representative Randall rook from the table and had placed on third rend­ ing the Glazier bill, creating four more deputy off Inspector?.

Unique because Its alms are so utterly unlike those of aa> other institution of the kind on earth. How big the institution is may be known from tbe fact that lhe length of the main building is 550 feet and is six stories high- There are three large connecting buildings, four alories In height radiating from tbe .ear ot the main building, and connected with it by a seml-clrcular ropridor. If the three additions were placed side by side with the main building the total length would be more than ono ^OUBand feet, or one-fifth of a mile.

Thousands of the strongest testimonials from the best known and nxs: reliaWc men and women of our country fully sustain tbe dahns made by Dr. Phelpa regarding his incompar­ able Paine’s Celery Compound. One of the most convincing proofs furnished^ comes recently from a gentleman widd, known in the capital city of lhe Dominion ot Canada. We refer to Mr. Alfred Brown, gt O’Connor St., Ottawa, Ont. Mr. Brown’s letter fully demonstrates the fact that the greatest sufferer may cast off his or her burden . of disease and become well, strong, and happy, It proves, too, that the great medicine main­ tains more fully than ever I'eforc iu unrivaled place in the estimation of people of wealth and social standing as well aa with the masses. Mr. Brown says:— “ I acknowledge with thankfulness and pleasure the fact that I hare been cured of * very painful illness of eight years’ standing by use of Paine's Celery Compound. I had, during the years of my illness, tried almost all the advertised medicines without deriving any good results. I was also treated by several erf the Ircsl doctors ot this city, hoping to find that one of them, at least, would understand my case. “ I was gftting worse, and was told I was incurable. I was indeed in a critical condi­ tion. I could not go from the house alone, as I was liable to sudden collapse. I tried hospital treatment, but no relief or good results came tojne. I could not sleep; anything that I ate increased my agonies; I was extremely weak, restless,• tired, and despondent; was obliged to walk alrout with my hands pressed firmly into iny left side to ease my pains: my feet and hands were cold continually; bad inclination to vomit, had profuse, cold sweats, quick breathing, and would be racked with pain for hours at a time. “After tbe regular use of Paine’s Celery Compound for a time. I am now in the best erf health, have good appetite, and can use any kind of food. Thank God I am my old self once more, all through the use of Paine’s Celery Compound.’’ Many Flgtilgs Killed.

It is necessary, therefore, that an cattle brought here shall be Im­ munized by having a serum injected into their veins; wMch will render them Immune for three or four months and at tbe same time by being innoculated with the rhinderpest virus, which renders them Immune for at least five years, and probably longer.

An eyewitness of 'h celebrated feat of oriental Jugglery tells tlie following story of what be thought he saw a hand of Indian fakirs accomplish: "They produced a chain seventy-fire feet In length and In my presence threw one end of It toward the sky. where It remained as If fastened to something in the air. A dog was then brought forward and. being placed at the lower end of the chain, immedi­ ately ran up and. reaching the other end, disappeared In the air. In the same manner a hog. a panther, a Hon and a tiger were successlrely sent up tbe chain, and all disappeared at the upper end. At last they pulled down tbe chain and put It in a bag, no one ever discovering in what manner the different animals were made to van­ tab.” . 7 • There are no brideemalda at a Span­ ish wedding. but Instead a madrlna (literally godmother) ia present with the witnesses. There is no bride cake, but there is a reception and very often a feast after the ceremony. Before the wedding takes place the bride's new home Is made ready for her re­ ception, for the honeymooners do not start on their travels until the day after tbelr marriage. Before their departure they pay a polite visit to their respective parents. On their return dainty sweetmeats in pretty boxes are sent round to their friends.

Pixxham:—My trouble vu, with the ovaries; I am tall, and the doctor said I grew too fast for. my strength. I suffered dread fully from inflammation andj doctored continually, but got do help. I suf. fered from terrible dragging sensations with the most awful pains low down in the side and pains in the back, and the most agonizing head­ aches. No one knows what I endured. Often I was sick to the stomach, and every little while I would be too sick to go to work for three or four days; I work in a large store, and I suppose standing on my feet all day made me worse. “ At the suggestion of a friend of my mother's I began to take Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and it is simply wonderful. I felt better after the first two or three doses; it seemed as though a weight was taken off my shoulders; I continued its use until nnw I can truthfully say I am entirely cured. Y-oung girls who are alwava paying doctors UUls without getting any help as I did, ought to taka your medicine. It costs so much less, and it is sure to cure them.— Yours truly, Adelaide Prahl, 174 St. Ann’s Ave., New York City.” I Women should not fail to profit by Miss Adelaide PrabFa experiences; Justus surely as she wax cured of the troubles enu­ merated in hejr letter, just so certainly will Lydia E. Pinkham** Vegetable Compound cure others who suffer from womb trou<« blcs, inflammation of tlie ovaries, kidney troubles, nervous excfe* tability, and nervous prostration; remember that It is Lydia E, Pinkham's Vegetable Compound that is curing women, and don*t allow any druggist to sell you anything else in its place.

Promptly at seven o’clock Miss Maude Smith rendered Mendelsohn’s wedding march while the bride and groum, accompanied by Miss Nellie Smith as bridesmaid and Mr. Charles Potts as best man, proceeded to the parlor where the ceremony was per­ formed under a beautifully arranged arch, the decorations being carnations and roses. The bride wore a pretty gown of' white Persian lawn while the brides­ maid was also dressed in white. After the ceremony, the company proceeded to the dining room where a three course supper was served. ’ The guests from abroad were the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Martin Gillespie and daughters Malvina and Alice of South Haven: the groom’s par­ ents, Mr. and Mrs. Melvin Warner of Shelbyville, and Mr. and Mrs. A.

After talking over several phases of the question a committee was appointed to meet the State Board of Education having in charge the matter of selecting a loca­ tion for the school and to show them around the town. The committee was as follows: Judge Clement Smith. Chester Messer. P? T. Colgrove. J. T. Lombard. John C. Ketcham. Rev. H. H. Van Auken. Dr. G. W. Lowry. . The Rev. H. H. Van Auken, Hon. W/W. Potter. John C. Ketcham and John Bessmer were then appointed as a memorial eommitteK to draw up a memorial reciting the advantages of this city as a location for the school and to present same to the State Board of Education. John C. Ketcham, P. A. Sheldon and Fred L. Heath were ap­ pointed as a committee to solicit funds for the purchase of a site in the event of the Board’s selecting this city as a location for the school. Mayor Hams informs ns that the city has options on six excellent sites and he feels quite confident that the Board will be favorably impressed dur­ ing their visit here. The date of the Board’s visit has not as yet been fixed but City Clerk Depew has written the State Superintendent of Public Instruc­ tion asking for definite information and he will probably receive an answer in a very few days. Later—Mr/Depew hat just received a letter stating that the board will probably be here about the middle of July, possibly later. The Circuit Court.

Probably the most important piece of school legislation enacted by the last legislature from the standpoint of lhe rural schools is the new law providing for the establishment of County Nor­ mal Training classes in connection with one high school in each county of the State where there is not a Normal College. This law will enable rural teachers to get that training which has heretofore been practically denied them and will do more than any other law of recent years to improve the teaching in our rural schools.

A few Democratic papers have at­ - tempted to make partisan capital out ’Of the postal irregularities. Those are unwise journals. Everything that can truthfully be said about the affair will reflect credit on the administration. It la impossible to entirely guard against tbe' perpetration of such offences in government offices. By detecting and puniahingfthe offenders the number of ’Offenses is diminished and the Interval between them is lengthened. Thia is what the administration and Its agents •re doing. Nearly every day brings the account of the removal of some­ body prominently involved In theirregularities.YtBut.removal, for some of the offenders, does not end everything. Criminal prosecution, in seme eases, will follow removal. Wherever the law can be invoked successfully, the offend­ er will bejma.de to feel its rigors.

Its possession was free from self consciousness—sim­ ply an advantage of birth, which that Providence who bad always shown an affinity to hierarchies saw fit to bestow on n favored class.

As a democratic motto we would sug­ gest “Silver, Shortage and Soup." Two things will be noticed in connec­ tion with the postal scandals. One is that the wrongdoers are being sumknarily dealt with. The other is that most of them were in office before -President Roosevelt entered the White House, and some of them were in be­ fore Mr. McKinley was inaugurated. There is no politics in the irregularities. Democrats as well as Republicans are involved in them. The man whose ' tiuoe has been most conspicuously con­ nected with the scandals, Machen, is a Democrat. The politics of the offend­ ers, however, will not be considered in the matter. All will have to go as soon as detected. Whatever punish­ ment is provided by the law wiU be In­ flicted on all of them, regardless of the name of’the President who was in of­ fice at the time their connection with ^he department began, and regardlets of their political affiliations.

Jaiy a, 1903" fr 1.1 ’■W — — Last week a reporter called at the McLachlan Business University of Grand Rapids, Mich., and was court­ eously received by its popular manager Mr. M. McLachlan. On being shown through the different departments he was surprised to learn of the magni­ tude of the institution. The rooms are located on tbe liftb floor of the McMullen Block, on the corner. of Island and Division Sts. They contain 9000 square feet of space and are reached by elevator service. The Commercial Department contains 4500 square feet and the Shorthand De part meat contains the same area. Each department is splendidly equip­ ped with excellent furnishings and the whole schocl represents a miniature business world, unique and complete in every particular. Seven experienced and regular salar­ ied teachers, who are in constant at­ tendance, comprise the faculty and all seem busy catering to the needs of the many students at work. An air of business pervades ( the whole atmos­ phere and surroundings and it is rea­ sonable to suppose that the young men and women who attend that institution cannot but carry a goodly portion of it with them on entering business life. The attendance of this enterprising school has increased over five-fold dur­ ing the past eight years and is still in creasing at a rapid pace. Businessmen of Grand Rapids and the surrounding towns pin their faith on the well-train­ ed students of the McLachlan Business University. This fact is clearly demon­ strated by a list of names containing over 550 students who have been en­ gaged by them during the past two and one-half years. The school is in session during tbe entire year and students may enter at any time as the instruction is largely individual. We wish this school the continued success it so richly deserves and we commend all young men and women who are desirous of securing the beet Michigan has to offer in the line of a Commercial or Shorthand education to ^investigate the merits of this popular school before deciding to go elsetfhere.

The government has spent millions of dollars in dredg­ ing out the Soo river and shortening the course, the route by the 'old channel’* being 12 miles longer than by the “new channel.” One must take the trip to appreciate fully the ex­ perience required to pilot a twat through the river. For this purpose a system of “targeta” and '*ranges” have been established and all of which, are lighted at night. During the trip the pilot must not only be on the alert, but acquainted with the river and thoroughly “onto his job.*’ The pilot on our boat, who, by the way, was a half-breed Indian, took us by way of the “old channel,” and a most inter­ esting trip it was.

During the season last year of less than nine months more freight passed through the locks at the Soo than passed through the Suez canal for the entire year of 1902. Dur­ ing 1902 the American Sco canal passed 31.232,795 tons of freight in less than nine months, while during the entire year but 17.827.120 tons passed through the Suez canal, and the port of Liverpool passed but 3.300,000 ton*.

Hamilton of this congressional district will regret to learn that his health is such that his physician has advised him to take a trip abroad. In conversation with the editor of the Niles Daily Sun, Con­ gressman Hamilton said : •‘I have been handicapped by not being in good health for some’time past. The doctors tell me that I will either have to stop work now for a short time, or quit for a good deal longer time inter on. I am advised go to Carlsbad and I am going there £3 straight as I can. I expect to leave about the first of July and return late In AugusL” Congressman Hamilton is recog­ nized as one of the hardest workers tn congress, and his efforts there have undermined his health to such an ex­ tent that a rest from business and political cares is imperative. He wifi so arrange matters that during his necessary absence all business will be promptly attended to as usual. Con­ gressman Hamilton’s Barry county friends unite in wishing him a safe and pleasant journey, and—better than everything else—restored health.

Probably realizing the utter indefenaibleness of their course, the Board of Review are attempting no defense of their action toward the factories. Possibly they may urge as an ex­ cuse that they do not have a news­ paper in which they can state their pos­ ition. We hereby tender to them the columns of the Banner, and give them full liberty to defend their action if they can. One member of the Board, its Chair­ man, who is also aiderman, chairman of street committee, president of tfie council, the much officed W. F. Hicks, is, so we are informed, putting forth a very thin subterfuge in his own behalf. W. F. Hicks’ nine horses, three ice wagons, street sprinkler, two top bugi giee, three other wagons, farm tools, tools for harvesting ice and an ice house full of ice, is down on Mr. Maus' assessment rolls for the princely sum of S35O. We verily believe it would take ten times that sum to duplicate this property. And yet Mr. Hicks, knowing this was his property, know ingita value, and his employee, Mr. Maus, having knowledge of the same facta, deliberately sanctioned such tax dodging. Evidently the Bannzb's expose of the matter has caused William to squirm a good deal, for he now ex­ plains, so we are told, that the reason he is not assessed more in Hastings on his teams, ice wagons, and ice gather­ ing tools is because he is assessed for these things in the township. The Hastings township roll is not ac­ cessible this year, but we looked it up for last year, and found he was assess edbutSfiOO in Hastings township last year, and it is probdbiy little if any more this year. And yet we are reli­ ably informed that Mr. Hicks had, on the second Monday in April last when assessments are made, over 2400 tons of ice in his ice houses on Leach and Twin lakes. Anyo one who knows what Mr. Hicks realizes for his ice will understand that WOO isn’t a quarter of wbat he should be assessed- on bis ice alone. This ought to convince any one that this claim to outside assessment for Mr. Hicks’ horses, wagons, carriages, tools, sprinkler, etc., is untrue. But aside from this, the claim is ut­ terly absurd on the face of it. There would be as much reason to assess the Wool Boot factory1 in the township as to assess Mr. Hicks’ horses, ioe wagons and ice handling tools in the township. H£ keeps them and they are used in the city of Hastings. All understand that the summer time is the proper season to tell fish stories. Possibly this will explain why Mr. Hicks makes the explanation about his assessment which he is said to make— it’s very fishy, to say the least. Circuit Court. Mary D. Broderick vs. A. N.

When at the flood the volume of wa­ ter in the Zambezi is twice that of the Niagara, and the fall of nearly 600 feet will give an estimated total force of 30.000.000 horse jhjwct. while that of Niagara is estimated at about 6.000,IMKl The first use of the power drawn from the falls will probably be to work the cojal mines at \Vankle, from fifty to a hand ml miles to the southeast A little farther to the north are beds of coppet of vast extent. There is talk, too, ot trying to work the gold mines of Johannesburg with electricity from the Victoria falls. A Pennsylvania physician who was a great gunner noticed how ravenously in the fall the birda fed on poke berries, and bow they consisted at this season of little more than skin and bone. Therefore be asked himself why the poke berry shouldn’t make human be­ ings thin, even as it did with birds. He gathered a lot of the globules, squeezed their Juice on sugar tablets and tried them on several corpulent people. One man lost-forty pounds In three mouths, feeling no Inconvenience, but actually gaining in health and strength while thia change went on in him. It has been suggested in connection with the results of the recent study of radium that the source of the enori mous amount of energy thrown off by the sun may lie in molecular or atomic changes similar to those supposed to be taking place in the radium; that we are obtaining our heat and light from a great physical laboratory in which elements are being manufactured, and that, in fact, the sun is simply a great mass of radium, perhaps mixed with other similar bodies, giving off radia­ tions or emanations which come to us chiefly as light and beat rays. DESK TELEPHONE BRACKET AatroMmleai Is Mars inh, Jted? From tbe very first day when Galilei leveled bls modest tube at the red ‘globe in the sky Mars has been the marvel, the study, of astronomers. Is there water there? Is there air? Is there human life as we know it along those wonderful canals no wide and so long that even inferior telescopes can pick them out? Now come the Harvard university scientists at Flagstaff, Arlz.. with their discovery of a great cloud 300 miles long, a mighty patch of light twenty miles al»ove the planet. Without air no cloud can float. Without water there can be no cloud. On May 26 Harvard men’s telescopes picked out this cloud phenomenon. Th* next day It was gone. Five defwe? farther northward were some remnants of light. Perhaps these wer* the fragments of the cloud. Clouds on earth frequently shatter to pieces in the air, leaving only traces behirJ. All astronomers will Await with in­ terest the news of further observations. The time Is coming when the gredt planet will come much closer to the earth. .

I $600 SAVED Bv Hastings Township By Re-adver. Using for Bridge Blds. After nearly three mouths’ agitation Hastings township Is to have a bridgeover tiie Thornapple near the County I Farm? This was decided Monday when; the township board voted to accept the lowest of the live bids submitted, that of the Massillon, Iron Co., offering to bridge the river for 82090, just 8600 less than the lowest bid submitted on June 13th, when all bids were rejected on the recommendation of Supervisor Chamberlain and Town Clerk Birdselk the former offering to pay all cost of re-advertising if the township were not saved 8500. Accordingly Mr. Chamber­ lain is released from his offer and the township is a nice tidy sum ahead. Considerable reducflons were also made in the. matter of Alls aud buttments and as the bids now stand, the entire bridge will coat 82,665 instead of §3,975 as called for by the first bids. The bridge which is by far the most superior one offered is to be completed by Nov. 1.

Brother of Stephtn Durfee who Killed Deputy Sheriff Scudder May U, 1884. The arrest of Daniel Dnrfeeat Battle Creek'last week, to prevent his killing his wife, while insane, will tend to recall to the minds of Barry county readers, one of the bloodiest tragedies ever en­ acted within its borders, the murder of Deputy Sheriff William Scudder by Durfee’s brother Stephen, at theUatter’ft; farm in Rutland, May I I, 1884. It will be remembered that the trouble began when a young man in the employ of Durfee as a month hand demanded his wages for farm work, Durfee refused to pay alleging that the the young fellow had violated his con­ tract. Thereupon Durfee waa oued in justice court and an execution issued which was placed in the hands of Deputy Sheriff Scudder. Durfee^ who was in the city at the timev knew all the circumstances and told Mr. Scudder that if he came to on bis property he would kill him. Scudder, however, could not be frightened and in company with WtU< iam Geer started for Rutland, both being armed with six shooters. On their arrival at the farm they found Durfee splitting wood and while Geer was hitching tbe horses, Scudder walked up to Durfee to serve the execution. As soon as he neared the woodpile Durfee pulled out a revolver which he had purchased the same morning and shoe Scudder in the chest. The latter fired wildly once or twice and then fell dead. Geer ran up and placed his re­ volver at Durfee’s head but it only snapped and failed to go off. Durfee then ran to the road and unhitched tbe deputies’ team and drove to the homeof his brother in Johnstown where hebarricaded himself in a bedroom and defied capture until nearly morning the following day. He was tried at the next term of the circuit court by Judge Frank Hooker,. P. T. Colgrove acting as prosecutor and^ being assisted by Loyal E. Knappen. A. FL McBride and C. G. Holbrook were. the attorneys for the defense and put up a plea of insanity. Tbe proeecntion however, produced several old neigh­ bors who swore positively as to Durfee’S sanity and as a result he was found guilty of murder in the drat degree aud sentenced to life imprisonment at Jackson, where he was taken Aug. 30. 1884. Within a short time, however, he developed symptoms of insanity and C was taken to the asylum for the crim­ inal insane at Ionia where he died a raving maniac. This and the fact that bis brother has also become insane would seem to prove that the plea of insanity was very well founded after all. Church and Society.

Regard­ ing the Waltersteln contract, he raid white, the old contract could not oc considered longer In force by the state, he was willing to continue any private arrangement with the Wallerstein company that it might deem neces­ sary, and expected to get along with­ out any friction on that score. Captain H. F. Hatch, receiver for Edward Wailersteln Jt Co., said he expected to start the prison factory manufacturing shirts again In a few days. He also said that any attempt on the part of the state to cancel the Wal­ lerstein contract or to prevent Its con­ tinuance would surely be vigorously opposed in court if necessary. indwelttri.Ml rnmg Syrup, for cbllchlld. sottms Hie Be TA PAINE S CELERY J COMPOUND I Has Made People Well ?ul Every Other 1^*11 Sunday Trains.

No musty or dirty litter, no strong smelling material and no - manure should remain in the stable longer than Is absolutely necessary. Wliltewasu the stable once or twice a year. Wuuld recommend using land plaster In i anure gutters daily. Feed no dry, dusty fodder previous to milking. If dusty, sprinkle before it is fed. Keep stable and dairy room in clean condition. Keep only healthy cows. Promptly remove suspected* hnimals. Remove the milk promptly from ‘he stable to a clean, dry room where the air is pure and sweet. Strain the milk through a clean flan­ nel cloth or through two or three thick­ nesses of cheesecloth. Aerate and cool the milk as soon as it is strained. The cooler it is the more souring is retarded. If covers are left off the cans cover with cloths or mosquito netting.

Mark, I This time in tbe world’s history seems to be principally remarkable for what might most fitly be termed the refinement ot color. As never Wore color Is being studied with reference to Its relation to life and the influ­ ences it reflects on human beings. That these influences are neither tri­ fling nor temporary we al! know. The writer will never forget the sensations produced by entering a little church. the altar of which was of.purest white marble. Down the center of the broad. polished steps was a carpeting of the richest crimson velvet Tbe faint, rosy glow which it scented to diffuse over the marble, dimly illuminated by flick­ ering candles, was one of the most sol­ . emnly beautiful effects which can be conceived. It was a vision of purity, warmed and vivified.

An excellent dressing for ladies’ fine ■hoes is made by dissolving two ounces of l»ornx and four ounces of gum shellac in a quart of hot wa­ ter. When thoroughly dissolved strain through a coarse cloth. Apply with a sponge. A little vaseline rubbed into the shot's now and then will keep them soft nnd make them wear much lon­ ger. 4Another good polish is made by dissolving an ounce of powdered borax and in this dissolving gum shellac until it is the consistency of paste. Add lampblack to it and a little gum of camphor dissolved In alcohol to make the leather pliable and to keep It from cracking. This is sold very high, but when made at home it costs but little. Refined, elegant women do not wet their handkerchiefs with perfume or pour it on their clothing. They have ‘ sachet bags of fragrance, scattered । among their wardrobes and chiffonier drawers, always using one perfume. This gives a suspicion of delicious odor . to tbe garments when they are put on j without overpowering the sense of ‘ smell.

His C <mdi« * tlonjs Critical. Fred Benham, the 28 year old son oF ex under-sheriff Whit Benham, who lives on a farm in Irving township,last Thursday received a kick from a horse which drove the jaw bone in­ to the brain, and nearly proved fatal. He was driving a threshing machine in Carlton township, and at the foot of a hill the horses refused to move. One of them acted rather viciously, 'and Mr. Beuham, who was standing behind the team called to a boy on the machine to throw the whip to him. Ab he stooped to pick it up, one of the animals kicked him squarely on the chin, knocking him some distance. He was carried home in an unconscious condition and for a long time it was thought that he would die, and it was so reported sever­ al times. Dr. H. B. Gammon worked over him for some time, and when Mr, Benham finally regained consciousness it was found that the muscles operating the right arm and leg and right side of the face were paralyzed, the jaw bone penetrating the left side of the brain in which are located the nerve centers controlling those muscles. Ever since the fatal accident, he has been in a critical condition. He has lo^t all power of speech, and it is not known whether here will gain it. .

Owodso.'Mlch., Aug. 11.—Jay Sidney, % young farmer, southeast of this city, made a gruesome find Monday while drawing oats from a field. He saw a man on the edge of the woods, lying against a tree. Investigation proved the man to be dead. A bottle of laud­ anum beside the man explained the cause of death. The man’s face was so badly eaten by worms .that the features could not be distinguished. He was about 45 years old. of medium height and weight, dressed In very good clothes, He wore a light Fedora hat, soft shirt. Hue with small red and white stripes, ight striped coat and vest, dark brown rousers and tan shoes. In his pockets were found * 60 cents, an open-faced illver watch with the trademark, “Flnand Watch Co., Riverside, N. J.,’’ and i small comb and looking glass. The body of the man rested on a copy of the Detroit Journal of July 29, 1902, and it Is believed he died soon after that date, judging from the ap­ pearance of the body. There was nothing on or about him to show his identity. —il— BODIES FOUND �!**«*»»*!

August fl, 1903 Thuisdsy, Crop Report States Growth I of Crops Slizhtly Impeded. WHEAT DID FAIRLY WILL Most of the Yield Secured In Good Condition—Even Chances on Corn Crop — Large Yield of Potatoes Looked For. Lansing, Mich., Aug. 11.—The offi­ cial crop report (or August, which was Issued by Secretary of State Warner la^t evening, says that during the last three weeks of July the temperature varied from one to six degrees below the normal. The precipitation for the month was above the normal. Show­ ers were frequent and well distributed, yet no serious damage resulted to growing crops or those being harvest­ ed. Most farmers had ample time in which to secure hay and grain. All spring crops have done fairly wellj al­ though their growth would have been more rapid had the weather been warmer. The season bas been fairly favorable for wheat. It was too cold and dry in some counties early in the spring for the crop, but it recovered btrgely later on. There were some s“ns of Hessian fly, but conditions were un­ favorable for the work of these in­ sects. The weather was not so wet as last year, so that most of the wheat was secured in good condition. The quality is also good, only a small part of it being unfit for flouring purposes. The average estimated yield of wheat for the state is seventeen bushels. The condition of corn improved •omewhat during Jply. From present indications, there will be some corn that will make only fodder. On the other hand, there are some fields that, with favorable weather, will make an average crop. In some counties where corn was planted on warm soli It has made a large growth and will no doubt yield well. The condition for the state la 76 per cent In some localities oats made a large growth, .while in other counties the condition has not been up to the av­ erage. If the crop can be secured in good shape both the yield and quality will compare favorably with former years. The estimated average yield per acre is thirty-two bushels for the state. Thus far the season has been belter than the average for potatoes. So far they have not suffered from • dry weather. If present conditions pre­ vail until the crop ripens naturally the yield will be large. The condition of potatoes for the state Is 88 per cent. The condition of beens varies throughout the state. Where it has been possible to cultivate properly the crop is in good condition. However, many fields are weedy, but may yield better than Is expected. The condi­ tion of this crop is 86 per cent for the ntate. At the present time the condition of sugar beets is very favorable. On heavy soli the stand was not perfect, but of late the growth has been rapid.' The ground Is so nearly covered with leaves now that fit Is doubtful if the crop will suffer dn account of dry weather this year. The condition for the state Is 90 per cent. The condition of clover as compared with the average is 84 per cent; pas­ tures, 93 per cent The proepect for apples is very fair at rpesent. Frequent showers have been favorable for growth of this crop. Tho peach crop is light in many counties. Only in the most favorable localities is the crop a fair one. Exiled Finns Arriving. Calumet, Mich., Aug. 11.—Several prominent Finns are expected to arrive In the copper country shortly from Finland. Recently the czar of Russia banished some prominent and highly respected citizens of the duchy from the empire and the greater number of them wll.’ come to the United States, Erco, one ci’ the best known literary men of Finland, and formerly editor of Helsingfor s daily papier, has arrived In Calumet.

Bur although he daily for a blissful hour or so did sentry duty within a few feet of her, he hud not been able to disclore his love. He could not speak Spanish nor she Eng­ lish. They bad been forced to confine their evidences of affection be to smiles and sighs, she to the same, sup­ plemented by languid movements of her fan. Private Johnson could stand it qo' longer; so that night after he had "biked” with the others of his guard to the-barracks he confided his troubles to his "bunkee," Mike Nolan. , "I'm stuck on the slickest little Span­ ish girl that ever waved a fan.” “What is ahe-Spigndy F asked Mul­ “ttsi Diet seoor," .be replied, "with a military gesture be took tte letter from bls pocket and Sbe seemed to be much •»rPrt»ed. Her flush grew deeper, and .be^placed her hand upon her breast as if to ••la this for me?” He bowed wot She quickly thrort tbe letter Into the bosom of her bodice. Then she turned away, but before sb wholly vanished she blew him • bash­ ful kiss from tbe tip of her fan. All morning Private Johnson wsfehed for her In vain. ^During hl. after­ noon lour of duty bls eye. were on tbe window whenever be could keep them lins„ , “No. she ain’t.” said Johnson; and that’s the trouble." Now it must be explained that when the American army toof&’posst‘sston of Havana there were few men in it, ei­ ther officers or privates, who could speak Spanish. Therefor.’ the residents of the Cuban capital, black, yellow and white, who found It for many reasons absolutely necessary to communicate with the Americans created a new lan­ guage. It was and is more involved and In­ tricate in its futile imitations of our mother tongue than the "pidgin Eng­ lish” of the Chinaman. And any Cu­ ban who can spenk this strange patois announces with much pride. “I splgady Inglis." The quick witted Americans christened all there "Splgndies.” “I’ve got to take her home with me." Johnson said gloomily. “I'd rather go up San Juan hili again than go home without her." Private Mullins puffed reflectively on a long cigarette. Private Mullins had had his own love affair since he had been in Cuba, and it bad not turned out well. He had been imblttered by it It had merely made him sympa­ thetic. “Tell me about it Johnson," be said. “Well, it was this way: When 1 was put on sentry duty down there by the bank I couldn’t help but look in the windows next door, aud I saw her. And. oh, Mullins, boy. she’s the wonder of the age. And I smiled, and she smiled, and I’m in love with her. and she’s in love with me.” “Why don’t you write it you idiot F asked Mullins. “You’ve as much brains as a turpen­ tine mdngo, Mullins, or less," said Johnson. “If I could write it I could talk It too, couldn’t IF “WeU," said Mullins reflectively. “I meant that you could get some of the fellows to write It for you." “You’re trying to let me in," said Johnson, eying him suspiciously. “Is there a man In this regiment you’d trust to write such a letter for youF “No,” said Mullins, '‘there ain’t. But I’ll tell you what. I know an officer in the rurales (rural police) who speaks English and who’d do It You’ve got to hurry, though." "Why?" asked Johnson. “We’re ordered home,” said Mullins. "I beard the general tell the colonel so today. I was on orderly duty at head­ quarters. you know.” "Hooray!” shouted Johnson, and some one who was trying to go to sleep threw a canteen at him. That night the two friends devoted an hour to the composition of the great letter which the lieutenant was to translate into Spanish. git was a plain, straightforward re­ cital of the young soldier’s love and circumstances. It described bls home and told her, much to Mullins’ amaze­ ment. that Private Johnson’s family was well to do. “Is that atralghtF asked Mullins doubtfully. “Sure." said Johnson. "I wouldn’t lie to her. you chump.” Mullins said he thought the letter would be all right after the lieutenant had thrown some hlfaluttn Spanish phrases into it The next day Mullins took the letter to his friend the lieutenant of rurales. whose name was Linares. The lieuten­ intrigue as all Spaniards do. .ant .......loving •»ui6uv .in mi opaniaras tin, ■old that !«• would be delighted to s^rve Mullins’ friend. . I . “Shall I address the letter also?" ask- I ed the lieutenant. “You’d better," said Mullins. "Then it will be all In the same handwriting." “Yon must first give the address," said the lieutenant. And MulHna gave It to him. tf be bad been quick witted he would bare no­ ticed an Instantaneous change In the. quality of the smile upon the lieuten­ ant's face, but be missed It. “Tbe taste ot Jour friend Is sublime superb, quite worthy of an American soldier." . “Ton know her, then?- asked Hol­ lins. “I have seen her." said the lieutenant as he rolled a fresh cigarette. “She Is beaoUtuL very. I win have the letter In an hour." In an hour MulUna went back. The lieutenant rapidly translated it to him. Tbe long, dignified and flowery ration of Private Johnson’s love poured from his lipa in sonorous sentences. Mullins wrote them .down in English When he rend them to Johnson that night the latter heaved s ateh of satis, ■ farte.n. ' ! there. . He was greatly disappointed when the night relief came on and he waa picked up by the retiring squad for the return to barracks. He had not seen her again-. But the memory of that smile was with film still. Next morning at roll call tbe lieuten­ ant who Inspected glanced approvingly at Private Johnson’s shoes nnd buttons aud speckless uniform. But just be­ fore diwnlateKbt called out: “Private Johnson, fall out and re­ port to the roloncl." Johnson was amazed, but with sol­ dierly decision did as be was told. The colonel seemed in bad temper. “Johnson," be said sharply, "yon have a good record." Johnson looked pleased. •You know that you’re going borne next week, don’t you?" "I Lave beard so. sir." "Well. then, why didn’t you try to keep your fecord clean F asked tbe colonel pettishly. He was a martinet but he was really fond of bls good men. “I have tried to, sir." said Johnson proudly. "Do you know what the orders are about insulting the citiaens of Ha“Yes, sir?* ‘Then why did you gratuitously tasult the Senorita Mercedes y BordozaF Johnson was aroused. "I have not Insulted her," he said firmly. The colonel picked up an envelope which had been lying on his table and produced the letter which had been hid­ den In the aenortta’s bosom on the day before. “Did you not give thia letter to her yesterday? Site says you did. aud your name is signed to it" “I did. sir." said Private Johnson. ' The colonel was getting red in the face. “And don’t you consider it insult­ ing F be demanded. Private Johnson’s face was pale. “No, sir,’’ he said very firmly. “I do not think it an insult to any woman on earth for an American citizen and sol­ dier to ask her to be his wife." The colonel gasped. “Your wife!" be exclaimed. "Did you ask her to marry youF “I did. sir.* “In this letter?’ * “Did you write itF "No, sir; I had it written." “Did you tell the man who wrote it for you to address her as "My Dear Turnip," to speak of her father as a blackguard F Johnson was speectlesa. The colonel saw bls real distress and slowly and even mercifully translated the perfidi­ ous lieutenant’s composition to him. He was sorely tempted to shout with laugh­ ter, but he waa merciful and did not. La Luchn Is a newspaper in Havana which has two pages In Spanish and two pages containing an English trans­ lation of them. In the English of La Lncha that very day waa announced the engagement of Lieutenant Jnse Linares of the rurales to Slgnorita Mercedes y Bordoza. And Private Johnson understood why he had been fooled.

Before they were engaged Read con­ fessed that some time before he had got into trouble with the buaineea honac where be vrax employed and had been dlaeharred.

I have never met any one who was ready to suffer for me, though 1 have found many who were inclined to let me suffer for them. 1 did^t tellerc In the magnanimity ot Maynard Read, especially as there was nothing rilwut him to back his story ♦lut it must be remembered that he had taken my girl away from me. At any rate 1 wanted to prove him dishonest I didn’t dare investigate the offense he bad spoken of for fear Jessie would boar of it and be my enemy for life. 1 turned my attention to putting In Read’s way so Inviting an opportunity to be dishonest thnt If there were dis­ honesty in him be would avail himself of it I didn’t make an amateur de­ tective of myself to blunder through what I didn’t understand, but hired "the real thing." * I introduced my friend. Leslie Mer rill, to Jessie, and he waa so well liked In the family that he soon became a frequent visitor at the homie. Mrs Ix’Wis. Jessie’s mother, owned a hand some pair of diamond earrings which she never wore. Merrill succeeded in Serenading her to let him have them for considerably more than tbeir value When the price, which be took cart sbonld be In marked bills, was ready for payment he took them to the Lewis house, carelessly left them on the m intel In a room where Read wat waiting for his fiancee and went out of the room. Returning later, the bills were gone—and so was Read. The same afternoon Merrill reported the matter to me, assuring me that there was no doubt of our tracing the marked bills to Read. He would watch thefthief. notice where he spent money and take up any bill he might give out, which undoubtedly would bear the private mark. Then he would have Read arrested. I went borne to dinner, where I learned that my old college chum Bradwell Jones, whom 1 had not seen for several years, had called and Insisted upon going to my room, but the man’s description did not correspond with that of my ebum. I waa dressing for dinner when there came a knock on my door and a man stepped la with a search warrant 1 was much surprised, but as I was not aware of having anything I should not have in nfy possession I told him tc go ahead with his search. I was still more surprised, indeed thunderstruck, when from one of my bureau drawers be took out $G5O in bills. "I’ll take tlieae," said the constable. •They're exactly the amount of money that was to have been paid for Mrs Lewis' earrings.” It didn't take very long for me tc discover that my detective had got me Into a snarl. Read had doubtless seen him put the bills on the mantel and suspected his object Rend must have feared my Influence with Jessie and seen In this Incident an opportunity to break It up. He doubtleM induced a pal to visit my room and place the bills In my drawer, then sent the con­ stable to make the search. Well, here was “a pretty kettle of flab." I was arrested and taken to the police court. I sent for Merrill, who, when he saw the turn matters had taken, notwithstanding the slur it in­ volved on his detective skill, couldn’t help laughing. Whereupon I gave him a piece of my mind that made him angry. This was very foolish of me. My enemy could not have carried the matter furtlier. for Merrill was the owner of the Mils at the time they were stolen, nnd If l were prosecuted must lodge a complaint. Whether he was really angry or feared his mistake would injure his business, be not only lodged a complaint, but identified the bills by his private mark.

It does not require a great outlay of money to prepare for raising turkeys, but to be successful you must not at­ tempt to raise them in your poultry yard. You caruot do it, 1 am sure. When your turkeys batch do not put them out in the yard with tbe chickens, but put them in a quiet place where no ether fowls, large or small, can get to them. Let it be u place where they can have grass, shade nnd sun. Do not feed for at least thirty-six hours after they are hatched. For the first twenty-four hours I keep them in a basket lined with old flannal and cover them well with a woolen cover. I prefer a tur­ key for a mother, although a quiet, do­ mestic hen will raise a brood of tur­ keys to the age of six weeks very nice­ ly. Then iho poults will generally as- • sociate with the other young turkeys if there arc any. though unless they hap­ pen to he nearly the same age the tur­ key hen will sometimes fight those that she deems intruders. A. Brahma or Cochin hen makes a better mother for turkeys than the smaller breeds be­ cause they carry the young longer. One essential point in raising turkeys Is to keep the poults free from vermin, for a lousy poult is as good,as dead. If they are allowed to become lousy they |nse their vitality before the lice are discovered: so In this, as In all diseases, prevention Is better than cure. When the hen Is set on the eggs she must be thoroughly, dusted with Insect powder. I paint the outside of the barrel—for I set my turkeys in barrels— with some good liquid Hee killer. This prevents gnats, which nre often very trouble­ some and sometimes kill the sitting tur­ key hen. When the poults hatch I again dust the hen, but I lot her shake herself well before giving her the little ones, for the Insect powder Is very hard ou them, as it often causes them to !>econie blln*L Just a touch of thick cream on the head, under the neck and on the wing will kill the lice If there are any on th? little birds-, but I would not use thnt until they are a few days old, and then I would use It at night so they will get all the benefit. After they are two weeks old the cream can be used once a week and mny be used early in the morning and kept up a short time. I wiuld never use it, this or any tiling else, on a wot morning.— Bettie Glover Mackey in Reliable Poul­ try Journal Mr- H. W.

Mrs. C. wants to know about getting rid of rats. She wants to know if cats can be trained to refrain from killing young chicks and pigeons. We get rid of rata by not having any good places for them to hide, by trap­ ping them, by poisoning them and by keeping cats. »We manage by using all these methods to keep them in check, so We do not suffer much from their dep­ redations. As to training cats, we have seen several cats which would not kill chicks nor catch pigeons—while being watched. Really we had a lot of kit­ tens last year which were brought up in the chicken yards and were on very friendly terms with tbe fowls, old and young. We never knew them to catch a chick—nor a rat—but the rats were afraid of them.—Commercial Poultry.

For two years every month I woultl have two days oi severe pain and could find no relief, but one day whefl visiting a friend I run ..across Lydia E.

I) use it occasionally now when I am exceptionally tired or worn out.”-* Miss Alice M. Smith, 804 Third Ave., South Minneapolis, Minn, Chair, man Executive Committee Minneapolis Study Club. Beauty and strength in women vanish early In life because of monthly pain or some menstrual irregularity. Many s offer silent]/ and see their best gifts fade away. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege­ table Compound helps women preserve roundness of form and freshness of face because it makes their entire female organism healthy. It carries women safely through the various natural crises and is the safeguard of woman’s health. The truth about this great medicine is told in the letters from women being published in this paper constantly. Mrs. C. Kleinschrodt, Morrison, Ill., says: — Bll aAHIj . “Dear Mrs. Pinkham:—I have suffered erver since I was thirteen years of age with my menses, 'Irby were irregular and very painful J doctored a great deal but received no benefit, “A friend advised me to try Lydia Ek Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound, which I I ** W' d id, and after taking a few bottles of it, I found u ^Teat relief. r t “Menstruation is now regular and without ~ pain.

I I All women are constituted alike, rich and poor, I f high and low, — all suffer from the same organio troubles.

ThOndiy, Atrocions August 20, 1903 Acts of Turks Have Gone Beyond Endurance. TERRIBLE CRIMES COMMITTED Category of Murder, Torture, In­ cendiarism, Pillage and Brutal Acts of Oppression Recited—Performed Under Cover of Reform. Sofia. Bulgaria, Aug. 17.—The Bul­ garian government has presented a memorandum to the powers, setting out at great length the condition of af­ fairs during the past three months in Macedonia since the Turkish govern­ ment undertook to Inaugurate the promised reforms. The most precise details, dates, places and names of persons are given in the memorandum, the whole constituting a terrible cate­ gory of murder, torture, incendiarism, pillage and general oppression commit­ ted by the Ottoman soldiers and of­ ficials. These particulars w£re ob­ tained entirely from official sources, SHcb as tho reports of the Bulgarian consuls and agents of the Bulgarian government, and in many instances the reports made by Turkish authori­ ties. The Bulgarian government guar­ antees the absolute, truth of every statement and challenges the Porte to disprove a single charge made in tho memorandum. The memorandum begins by stating that during the past three months the Ottoman government has taken a •eriqs of measures with the alleged in­ tention of inaugurating the era of promised reform and of assuring peace and tranquility to the Bulgarian popu­ lation of European Turkey, but in­ stead of proceeding solely against per­ sons guilty of breaches of the public order, the military and civil authori­ ties have sought every possible pre­ text to persecute, terrorize and ruin the Bulgarian inhabitants, alike in the large cities and in the small villages. Atrocious Acta. Wholesale massacres, individual murders, the destruction of villages, the pillaging and setting Are to houses, the arrests, ill-treatment, tortures, ar­ bitrary imprisonment and banishment, the closing and disorganizing of churches and schools, the ruining of merchants, the collection of taxes for many years in advance—such, proceeds the memorandum, are among the acts of the Ottoman administration of the ▼ilayets of Salonlca, Monastlr, Uskub and Adrianople. In conclusion, the memorandum as­ serts that the foregoing exposure once more condemns Ottoman administra­ tive government in Europe. It says: "The Porte formally promised the Bulgarian government to cease the ar­ rests of Bulgarian priests and school­ masters, reopen the churches and •chools. release the prisoners and pun­ ish the officials guilty of exactions; in abort, to adopt a policy of Justice and amelioration. "Not only has the Porte failed to observe a single one of these prom­ ises, but it has enacted sterner meas-, ures of repression. "What must be the result of all this? Tired of waiting the fulfillment of promises of better conditions and driv«n to despair, the Bulgarian population have thrown themselves into a revolu­ tion, which is now spreading in an Ot­ toman province. 150 miles from the Bulgarian frontier. "The causes of this revolution are today known. The responsibility Is fixed and the Porte can no longer ac­ cuse the Bulgarian principality." Arrested For Child Murder. Windsor. Ont., Aug. 18.—Ella Rice, a pretty young woman 19 years of age, Is confined in the county Jail at Sand­ wich on a charge of murdering her Illegitimate female child. The woman, who freely confesses her guilt, charges a prominent lumberman of London, Ont., with being father of the child, and lmpllc-te« him in the horrible crime According to Chief of Police Wills and Magistrate Bartlett, a war­ rant will bo sworn out for the latter’s arrest on a charge of murder.

As a child she was always drawing, so that her talent seems to antedate her earliest recollec­ tions. Her artistic training and experience were had in New York. In addition to attending tbe schools she had tbe ad­ | vantage of private Instructors, among them Professor Lawrence of Munich. She has never returned to Europe since leaving England. The art galleries and- exhibitions in New York, she says, have been her chief sources of instruc­ tion and Inspiration. She attends them all regularly, sitting for hours before the canvases to study their secrets. It Is of course particularly remarkable that, thus handicapped.

N t only had Mrs. Mur­ phy no sitting, but she had never seen President McKinley. When $2,300 was appropriated by congress for the purchase of a portrait of the late president Mrs. Murphy, among others, submitted her work. The judges were selected as the most com­ petent men in the country to Judge of the merits of the portraits. The competltors were somewhat taken aback when the announcement was made that the work of a woman bad won in spite of the ancient tradition that a woman must always stay in the back­ ground of art when In competition with men. When they saw the accepted por­ trait their doubts were silenced, and they expressed the utmost satisfaction in the selection.—New York Herald. When the tired mother flnds her nerves strained by excitement or pain the only relief is rest "Just let me have quiet and peace." she says, "and when I have had a good rest-I shall be perfectly well." She is quite right in her treatment of herself. but why does she not accord the same treatment to her little one. whu. when worn out by the pain of its aching gums or firom some other cause, it walls. over its little sorrows? In tbe nursery it is considered rank heresy to say, "Let baby cry.a little; it will do him good.’ .And so the poor little scrap of human­ ity is shaken and jogged, shouted at and sung to, made to look at tbe bright fire or lamplight, and treated in a manner to drive a nerve racked adult to distraction. Of course there is a difference between a grown person and a baby, but nerves are common to both and those of an infant surely demand tbe greater gentleness. Instead of try­ ing to amuse the hapless infant, let him enjoy the luxury of wailing a little Probably a good cry Is as much 1 relief to him as it is to his overwrought mother. To be sure, crying always means something amiss and It is the duty of the mother to discover the cause. If it is the fretful cry of weari­ ness, then the kindest and best course is to let tbe little tot rest in a quiet place with a subdued light, where it has a chance of getting sleep, that sov­ ereign remedy for so many of tho of suffering, nerve racked hu- : ed woni" of this country .« tin. and consequently wriou. dutj-^re laid upon them.

If she be well to do she can hire ‘other women to embroider ; the initials or monogram in the solid | white embroidery that is bo handsome and so expensive or she may tdmply ( stamp her table napkins and towels ‘ with a stencil and India Ink. This looks cheap, hh it is. Spool embroidery, which Is novel, easy and pretty when done, offers a happy medium between the two. One woman who does a good deal of it says the first step is to select a spool and draw a circle faintly around it on the article to be marked. Start at the l>ottom of the circle and brier slitch around ’ nearly half way. Then start again at the bottom and stitch around the other half. At the top leave a tiny space, and the effect will be that of a dainty laurel wreath. It the wreath is extended at the bot­ tom in two small straight lines cross­ ing each other the wreath effect is, heightened. A small bowknot nt the base is also pretty. In the center draw the desired Initial with a pencil, work­ ing it finely and closely in over and over. j UH ill, UH daily.

If persisted in, cannot fall to bring the desired re­ sults. The simple remedy is bydrozone. Hydrozone applied to the hairs will bleach them and In time cause them to fall out. An equal projxirtlon of am­ monia should be used with the hydro­ zone. If the skin cannot stand the am­ monia tbe hydrozone should be used alone. Another equally effective remej dy is a pair of tweezeri, by which the , hairs can be pulled ou: by the roots, i After the hairs have be?n pulled apply J a little glytokoue to th • Inflamed surI face. The liydrozone t eatment is ab­ : solutely effective when used constant­ | ly. The only absolute cure for super; fluous hairs is the electr ic needle.

THE MAGIC BOTTLE Get a piece of pith, paper pulp or some other light substance three or four Inches In length and. about half an Inch' in diameter and trim It into the shape of a bottle. Cut a bullet in. two and fasten the bottom of the bottle to the flat side of one of tho halves. Mnke a hole down through tbe center of the bottle and provide a piece of heavy wire to slip into the hole easily, with its end out of sight You can make the hole more readily before attaching the half bul­ let The bullet must be covered neatly with pnpefr, so that It will not be no­ ticed, and tlie whole device should be painted, as this will serve to conceal the trick. Now you tell the onlookers that the bottle will ot^ey your commands, and, having ordered it to stand up, you place It on the table without inserting the wire, when nothing will keep it from an upright position but holding it down. It Is the weight of the bullet, you see, that keeps It standing. Then y<lu order it to lie flat on the table, and as you take It in your hands to give tho order you deftly Insert the wire in the hole and lay the bottle down, when the weight of the wire will keep It Ini that position. As the wire goes far enough into the hole to be out of sight, no one will suspect Its pres­ ence. This Is a neat and mystifying trick if skillfully performed. One minute the bottle will insist on standing upright, and the next minute it will tumble down as often as it is set up. Little Agnes went to Sunday school with iter big brother and sister, but was considered too young to do all that the others did.. This hurt her dignity very much, and she decided to astonish them some day with her learning. She cer­ tainly did astonish them. One Sunday the superintendent asked the pupils to recite a Bible verse that would be appropriate as a yearly mot­ to. One after the other the older chil­ dren recited beautiful texts. Then the superintendent said: ■T do not suppose any of the infant class has a verse?” Up went Agnes’ band. “You may recite yours,” smiled tbe kind superintendent Agnes solemnly arose and in a voice that thrilled every listener proclaimed: “There wu a young maiden named Kate, Who eat on the stairs very late; When asked how she fared She said she was scared. But otherwise feeling first rate.” Tbe older brother and' Sister nearly collapsed from shame, but that flne su­ perintendent said without the shadow of a smile: "I think tbe sentiment in that verse is very Instructive. Kate was not only a very braie girl for sitting oiit there when she was soared, but she was cheerful and unselfish in making the best of it before others.” After that Jltti^ Agnes was consid­ ered quite old enough to recite verses.

PEOPLE OF THIS CITY CANNOT AFFORD TO LET THE "HOUSE FAMINE" CONTINUE. t Least Twenty-Five More House, Will Be Needed Before Winter To Accommodate Thows Who Are Now Here, and Thoae Who Will Hove Here. i To the Citlien, of Hastings: , When a committee of representative business men of your city met <j committee of three gentlemen from Grand Rapids in the early part ' of last January relative to getting the proposed new (’hair Company J . at HMtiugs, the question was then asked your committee < u hat the people here would do towards building of houses for the oc- J cupaacy of the employees of this proposed new industry. The reply < was that there would be plenty of houses for all. * The factory bas j » CKn’J>h4tedtv nd a cal1 f0r h0U8es i8 made’aud lhere Is not < one to be had. W v ask you how you can expect any new industry to j increase its capacity of production, when It is impossible to get places < for its employees to live In. Our plant has only been started up and 1 producing goods about six weeks. We are employing nearly 60 work­ men at present and over thirty of these hare come to your city since operations were started on our plant. We have to have, to a certain extent, skilled workmen and these as you must be aware, have to come from factories in other cities and towns, and generally these workmen are married men with families. We ask you this question. What is it that makes a good thriving city? Is it not your factories, and the employees of your several in­ dustries, that causes your cltv to be looked upon as a thriving, hustling and prosperous place? You, of course, wish to maintain this idea, but if you do, yon should not allow so many parcels of ground in your city to be vacant, but erect thereon a monument that will be useful and bring to you a source of revenue, and afford to the occupant thereof a place of shelter after his days work is done, there to be at rest with bis family till the dawn of the next day. It to a fact that, within the past six months, you who have had property to rent have advanced the । price of same from 15 to 30 per cent. By doing this you are to a con­ siderable extent injuring yotlr city, and standing in the way of its , growth and advancement. Why do people leave the larger cities and J J * I । < < < ( t ' come to the small thriving cities like Hastings? The reasons that men are induced to do this are because they believe that the rents are less ' and costs of living also are proportionately lees. So you can readily see that by advancing your rents too much you will have the same rates < 1 as the larger cities offer, and therefore prevent your factories from get­ FULLER—Elsie M. Morgan was bom in Ruggles, Ashland Co., Ohio, March Hth, 184", and departed this life, Aug. 19th, 1903, at her home io Carl­ ton. She was married to Mr. Philo Fuller April 7th, 1866, and was tke mother of four children, three of whom are living, Wilbur of East Jordan and Roy and Myrtle of Hastings, who with the father mourn the early departure of a kind and loving mother. She has resided in Carlton all her married life upon the farm that joins the Messer farm ou the south. Her home was one of beauty and hospitality, and the ‘hosts of friends who mourn her death attest how generous a hostess aud true a wife she has been. She was converted about eight or ten years ago under the preaching of the Rev. William Wright and joined the M. 'E. church at Carlton Center, where she has been a faithful member, always doing what she could to help the Masters work. During the last two years she has been a great suffer­ er, but her patience and fortitude was perfectly marvelous. The funeral services were held by her pastor, Rev. J. H. Bennett, at the home. The floral offerings were many and beautiful, attesting the high es­ teem in which the deceased was held by her neighbors and friends. The floral offering by Roy Fuller’s fellow workmen of the factory called forth many kindly remarks. All seemed to try in some way to show their sympathy and interest and a large company followed the remains to the Fuller cemetery where hfer body uow awaits a glorious resurrection. A ■ ____ Andrew Roush, Sr., Uras born in Wayne county, Ohio, Dec. 12,1838, and died Aug. 16, 1903. He was the father of thirteen children, three of whom with his wife have preceded him to the great beyond. His was the first death in a family of ten children, and he was the connecting link of five generations. Funeral services were held at the home of Mr. Bidleman, his son-in-law, by Rev. E. E. Rhodes.

A trade was made by the two, the terms of which we do not profess to know, except that we understand that Mr. Pinch set a price af 92K000forhis Orangevi’le property, while Mr. Fitz gerald went him 812,000 better for his hotel property, asking 840,000 for it, and we undersand a deal was made on that basis.

United States con­ sul general nt Berlin, makes an Inter­ esting report concerning a new treat­ ment for tuberculosis which was dis­ cussed at a recent meeting of the Med­ ical Society of Berlin. Concisely stated, the history and na­ ture of the new method are as follows: During his travels In Australia Rob­ ert Schneider, a Ger.wTi merchant with a practical knowledge of chemis­ try, noticed that the natives In the northwestern part of Australia used a decoction made by boiling the leaves and roots of the eucalyptus tree as a remedy for consumption, which Is a prevalent disease in many sections of that country. He further observed that the natives living In districts where the eucalyptus tree grew abundantly were generally immune from the dis­ ease and t* it natives suffering from tuberculosis frequently came from oth­ er regions to live iu the eucalyptus dis­ trict and with generally favorable re­ sults. With the aid of a physiological chem­ ist be prepared a combination of flow­ ers of sulphur, powdered charcoal and pulverized eucalyptus leaves. This mix­ ture has been named sanosin and Is the material which has been used in the rerent experiments. Since the time of Galen the fumes of sulphur have been known to exert a curative effect upon sufferers from phthisis, and it appears that the combination of sulphurous acid with eucalyptus and carbon has a peculiarly effective potency in attack­ ing the iMicillus of tulierculosis. On account of its extreme volatility sanosin Is put up in sealed glass tubes. ing rormuiu iut entxum: servo tl ye: One pound of water glass, silicate of soda, should be dissolved in a gallon of cold water. It will take some time to mix the sirupy' silicate with the water, but it should be thor­ oughly done. The resulting solution is placed in an earthefi jar and the eggs put point downward In it, care being taken that every egg Is entirely cov ered by fluid. -Any loss caused by evap­ oration may be “made good” by simply adding more water. Eggs placed In this solution will keep “perfectly fresh” for ■a year or more. Just before boiling the shell should be pierced, otherwise tbe egg may burst Diphtheria, sore throat, croup.

Deafness Cannot Be Curzd by local applications as they cannot reach the illsox-ed rxMtlon ot the ear. There Is only oots way to cure deafness, and Chat Is by constitu­ tional remedies. Deafness Is caused by an In­ flamed condition of the mucous linlnx of ths Eustachian Tube.

The boom of William Randolph Hearst for the Democratic Presidential nomination in 1904 may be said to have been launched at a mass meeting held 1 in Washington on\he 13th of August. The ambitious individual in whose be­ . half this movement has been organized is the reputed possessor of a fortune of several millions of dollars, represented, in great part, by a number of daily newspapers, whose columns appear to be chiefly consecrated to the destruc­ tion^ of wealth belonging to other peo­ ple. ' It is upon this platform that Mr. Hearst hopes to reach the presidency. At present he is merely a Tammany Congressman from a New York City district In journalism he enjoys the distinction of issuing each day in three different cities the very worst lot of newpapers of large circulation and vi­ cious influence known in any part of civilized world. Upheaval, revolution, anarchy, assassination if need be, seem to be the guiding principles in these publications. The mass meeting of August 13 in Washington was ostensibly engineered by persons claiming to represent organ­ ised labor. In the name of American labor tbe Hearst presidential boom is thrust forward. By appealing to the Unreason and the passions of American wage earners it is hoped to realize the political ambition of a man whose pro­ gramme and platform involve the ruin of labor and industry. “Down with all Trusts!" That Is the battle cry of the Hearst boomers. How shall the trusts be downed? By the repeal of the Dingley Tariff and the establishment of Free-Trade. That is the trust rem edy chiefly relied upon, almost wholly relied upon. When the Protective Tariff Is swept away the trusts will dis­ appear. Such is the Hearst promise and plan. Take Free-Trade out of the Heast propaganda and nothing re­ mains. Workingmen who are now employed all the year round at the highest wage rate ever known in this or any other country, wage earners whose deposits in savings banks have increased in the past six years of a Protective Tariff ’ from less than F2,000,000,000 to nearly ♦3,000,000,000 are expected to rally to the support of a political movement whose ultimate aim is to wreck all In­ dustry and stop all prosperity. The work people and wage earners did a>meth(ng of this kind in 1892, and paid tbe penalty in loss of employment and wages, in the melting away of ac­ cumulated savings, in the poverty, hunger and untold sufferings of them­ selves and their wives and children. Evidently the Hearst boomers think American workingmen have short memories.

The covering for a bed during the daytime can be made one of the ef­ fective touches to the sleeping room.

Lew Wallace’s World Famous Religious Drama to be Present­ ed in Grand Rapids. book could be put into dramatic form Without violating the firmly grounded principles of all who believe In the Chrietian religion. Many attemnte were made to secure his permission but iUwas not until Klaw & Erlanger had had an interview that he commented even to consider the matter. Klaw & Erlanger's experience and reputation as producers of the very largest spec­ tacles satisfied Gen. W ailace that “Beu Hur” would receive moat adequate representation at their hands. They were able to convince the author that the chariot -race, the galley scene and the representation 'of the Star of Beth lehem could be put on the stage when the question of the person­ ation of the Messiah was considered. The book of “Ben Hur" is interwoven with the life locale and incidents of the Messiah. No dramatization which did not contain the tremendous dominat­ ing influence of Him could not be a faithful stage portrayal of the work. Klaw & Erlanger submitted a method of procedure wheteby the presence of the Nazarene should not be seen, but merely indicated by a mysterious and almost supernatural white light of wondrous brilliancy and power. This solution removed all the author’s ob­ jections, and Klaw & Erlanger were authorized to have a proper dramatiza­ tion of the book prepared; The ques­ tion of a represention of the Crucifix­ ion, which is so powerfully described in Gen. Wallace’s novel, did not arise, as Klaw & Erlanger, as well as the author, held that this point of the book should not be made a part of the play nor indeed a part of any play. Having obtained Gen. Wallace’s full consent Klaw A Erlanger engaged Wm. Young to dramatize the book and he has written a play which has been seen by more people than any ever produced. Neighboring Counties.

The temperature during August wm considerably below the normal while the precipitation was above the normal. All damage to crops resulted from excewive rains rather than from dry weather. These conditions were favor­ able for pastures, sugar beets and some fields of corn and potatoes. This weather, however, was unfavorable for beans and for potatoes on low ground. Most all live stock was In a healthy and thriving condition. The final estimate for wheat will be made in October. The average esti­ mated ■ ield per acre in the southern coantfee is 16 bushels, in the central and northern counties 15 bushels and in the state 16 bushels. The quality in the northern counties, as compared with an average is 92, while in the southern and central counties and state it is 93. The per cent of wheat of the crop of 1902 still in farmers’ hands is, In the northern counties 4, in the southern and central counties aud state 6. The season has been fairly good for oats. In some localities the harvesting of the crop was delayed by wet weather and as a result some oats will be dam­ aged. In most places, however, the crop was secured before* the con­ tinued rains of the latter part of the month. The estimated average yield per acre in bushels is. 29 in the north­ ern counties and 31 in the southern and central counties and state. The qual­ ity, as compared with an average is, 85 in the southern counties, 8*» in the cen­ tral counties, 87 in the northern coun­ ties and 85 In the state. The estimated average yield of rye per acre in bushels is. 15 in the southern counties, 13 in the central counties, 15 in the northern counties and 14 in the state. The weather during August was favorable for corn. Warm, dry weather is needed, however, to ripen the crop before the time for frosts. The con­ dition of corn, as compared with an average is, in the southern counties 80, in the central counties 74. in the north­ ern counties 72 and in the state 77. It is difficult to determine at the present time what the outcome will be in regard to the bean crop. Many fields of beans have been damaged al­ ready by wet weather. If these un­ favorable conditions continue the loss will be serious; on the other hand if the weather is favorable for the ripening and harvesting of the crop the yield will be fair. The probable yield of the bean crop, as compared with an aver­ agers, in tbe central counties 81 and in the southern and northern counties aud state 80. The potato crop at the present time promisee to be a good one. Some dam­ age has been done on low ground but conditions have been very favorable for potatoes on high land. If frost holds off so that they ripen naturally no doubt the crop will be a large one. The probable yield of potatoes, as com­ pared with an average is. in the south­ ern counties 91, in the central and northern counties 89 and in the state 90. v Clover made a large growth since haying time, but in some cases has not filled well. The prospect, as compared with an average- is, in the southern counties 72, in the central counties .5, in the northern counties 80 and in the 8t In most of the counties all kinds of live stock are in good condition.

GOOD ROADS NEEDED. There Is a close and permanent rela­ tion existing between good public roads and good public schools, said the state superintendent of education for Ala­ bama before the Montgomery good roads convention. There can be no good country schools in the absence of good country roads. A school may be perfectly equipped as to building, fur­ nishings and trained teachers and at the same time prove a failure on ac­ count of a lack of accessibility. Access­ ibility depends upon the kind and con­ dition of the public roads. What is the encouragement to erect good school buildings along impassable highways? We do not even build good residences in such places. Business establish­ ments and industrial enterprises do not flourish there.

The recent annual report of the con­ troller of the Treasury admirably serves the purpose of a pinch to assuMthe pub­ lic that the prosperity of the country is no dream. It proves that the country is wideawake and that the pleasurable sensation of prosperity is real.

Hav4 ng visited the city, however, the man­ agement of the factories will feel free in the future to call the Tax Commission bare whenever occasion may seem to demand it. As the Herald, through its columns, naked that the Tax Commission come, it should not attempt to shift the re­ sponsibility by any display of sarcasm. Pennsylvania democrats “played polvention. They discussed the weather, the big crops etc., but they never said a word about national polities. Think of a party ao divided that it either has A British Manufacturer’s Complaint. Under the Democratic free wool law a large percentage of the woolen mills in this country were closed and those that kept open could not, as a rule, make expenses. Such depression was not be­ fore known in the woolen trade since it was built up under a Protective Tariff. But with the election of McKinley and the reformation of the Tariff prosperity returned to tbe woolen manufacturers, who have not had a word to say in favor of free wool. Some British evidence as to the effect of this American production under the Tariff was given last week at the meeting in Montreal, Canada, of delegates from Canadian and British chambers pf commerce. Mr. Hurst, the represents­ tive of the Bristol, England, Chamber of Commerce, said: I want to speak for a moment upon a question which immediately concerns my own branch of business; I speak for the heavy woolen Industry in York­ shire. What is the condition? The condition is this: Mill after mill has been shut in the past year on account of the competition of Germany and Holland and other countries, and more especially of the United States. Up to twenty years ago there were practically no manufactured goods of the heavy woolen character coming into our country. / Mr. Hurst wanted Protection for the English manufacturer in the British market. The United States does not export woolen manufactures to any great extent, the exports in the last flscal year being less than 83,000,000 worth, though that was quite again over the previous year. But the con­ sumption in this country is large and tbe heavy woolen goods, concerning which Mr. Hurst spoke, are practically excluded. Tbe American manufac­ turers fill tbe home market demand. That is the result of the Protective sys­ tem which the Democrats sought to break down.—Philadelphia “Preet."

Metlurs ♦©♦©♦©♦©♦©♦©♦♦©♦©♦o<o<o>o5 In the hay loft six Thurstons sprawled at ease and wished some­ thing would happen. “Say,” said Don excitedly, sitting up, “I know something. Y’ou know Mrs. Wilson’s nephew. Jim Wilson, who roaches us at football?” “Yes.” A “Well, I beard daddy tell mother that he’s fallen In love with Amy Smithers. Did you ever hear of such a silly—a great big fellow like him in love? But bo is." continued Don. looking around, with a disgusted air. “Amy Smithers," said Ted, with tbe air of a connoisseur, “is the prettiest girl in the town. She’s a brick, too. and the best Sunday school teacher I ever had. I intended to marry her myself.” "Well, you can’t,” continued Don. “nor Mr. Wilson, either, for daddy says Mrs. Wilson Is awful mad about it on account of Mrs. Smithers being a farm­ er and talking bass and having whis­ kers, and Amy’s her niece, you see.” "Well, tbe idea!" said Polly Indig­ nantly. “Why. Mrs. Smithers is an aw­ ful good woman, and you don’t think a bit about her whiskers when you know her." . “Mrs. Smithers is mad, too, and says Mrs. Wilson is a^ stuck up thing and Amy’s not allowed to have anything to do with that nice Mr. Jim Wilson. Daddy’s about crazy with hearing both aides and not being able to do a thing about It, and he says he’s glad he and mother are going to the synod next week, and be hopes something will happen while he’s gone to fix things up. So let’s us.” Five Thurstons with renewed Interest In life sat up. “How ?” they queried simultaneously. Then Molly, struck with an idea, ■aid, “Don. Thurston, bow’d you ever hear all this?" "Had tbe toothache the other night and couldn't sleep; so I laid dowu on the floor beside that drum thing that comes up from the sitting room, and daddy was talking so I couldh't help but hear,” said Don. “You ought to have coughed or some­ thing," said Molly severely. “Never mind," said Polly; "I’m glad he didn’t; It’s so interesting. Let’s think what to do.” “Let’s have a dinner party,” said Molly, “and ask tbe bishop to come and Mrs. Wilson and Mrs. Smithers and Miss Amy and Mr. Jim, and ask •em all separate and tell them not to tell any one, but to come and meet the bishop. Then when they’re all here we’ll have It all dark and Miss Amy and Mr. Jim In the library concealed, and we’ll spring the lights on, and’no­ body’ll dare get mad with the bishop there, and they'll all say, ’Heaven bless you, my children.’ ” “How can we with mother gone?” asked Polly. “We’ll get Mrs. Flannegan to help, and we’ll have it the evening father and mother come home.” . "Where’ll we get the money?” asked Ted, suddenly developing a practical aide. '“We’ve got a dollar apiece saved for missions: we can use that and save ■ome more for missions,” suggested' Don. “This Is a kind of mission, I think,” ■aid Polly, trying not to wonder what her father would think about it With the Thurstons to plan was to act; so Polly and Molly flew to the house for paper to write out their menu. Dummy Dee* was to get on hla wheel and go over to the bishop’s. Tbe bright spots in the busy; over­ worked bishop’s life were usually sup­ plied by the Thurstons. So as be was coming out of his door with a pile of letters In his hand bls heart cheered within him at the sight of the somewhat ball-like figure of Dummy Dee dismounting in haste from bls wheel. “Oh, bishop, I’m so glad you aren’t gone away." began Dummy Dee after they had shaken hands, “because we want to fix something with you. Can you come to a kind of a supper or din­ ner party at our house next week Thursday?” “That’s the evening I get home from the ayned." said the bishop. "I think I can, thank you.” “Father and mother are going too. Lt will be a surprise. Be sure not to tell them about It at the synod, won't you, bishop?" And tbe bishop, scenting mysterious delights from afar, promised faithfully not to divulge the secret nor to forget hla own engagement So Dummy Dee rode happily away to where the live were struggling with ■Teas beyond Ice cream and fried chick- the Thurstons half holiday from school. Mrs. Wilson sent flowers and after a consultation with the open minded Dummy Dee'arranged some matters with her own ‘cook to supply some of Mrs. Flannegan's deficiencies. The guests, assembling on. tbe even­ tag. were met by Dummy Dee, who led them Into the darkened parlor. ^There’s a chair,” he would say. leading them one by one to a baren of safety. “Tbe lights will come on by and by.” And presently, when they all were In the parlor, tbe Thurstons switched on tbe lights and waited in various atti­ ruura aaau kuiog. to rv happen. uoppero tudes and awm places .or for things After the guests’ eyes had become somewhat ’ accustomed to the change from darkness to daixllng radiance Mra. Smithers and Mrs. Wilson regard­ ed each other and the exceedingly good looking young couple, to say nothing of tbe bishop and the '»-' wUdered Rev. Mr. Thurston and his wife. • The temperature was growing more and more frigid every moment when in rushed the conspirators’ dhorus, who had mainly been concealed behind the library doors. “Oh, why don’t you say ‘Heaven bless you?’ ” besought Molly in anguished tones. “Dinner’s all waiting and getting cold, and if you only knew, what a lot of trouble It’s been to keep the hot things from get­ ting cold and tbe cold things from get­ ting hot’’— "What under the sun"— began the Rev. Mr. Thurston. And then, beaded by the bishop, they all broke Into wild peals of laughter, and you know no one can keep a resentment long alive to the tune of laughter. So by and by, to the delight of the six conspirators, Mrs. Wilson was kissing pretty Amy Smithers and Mrs. Smithers was shaking Jim Wilson’s hand. Then they trooped out to tbe gayly decorated dining room. Tbc dinner. from soup, oysters, fried chicken, vegetables, to cake, ice cream and coffee, was so much better than poor little Polly and Molly and the boys bad eypected that they, knowing nothing of the appearance of Mrs. Wilson’s cook on the scene armed to the teeth with hampers. Just supposed It was the work of fairies that preside over such scenes and ate with rare enjoyment of every course, with a candy and salted alm­ ond interlude between each. • Tbe bishop was In bls happiest mood and drew out each guest to the best advantage. Mrs. Wilson, began to re­ alise the worth of Mrs. Smithers and Mrs. Smithers grew very friendly toward the pretty, soft voiced little lady. while Mr. Jim and Miss Amy spoil.'d and petted the six children to their hearts’ content. [ “This is better,” said Molly afterward, “than diamonds and shiny clothes in a show.”_______________ An Interesting Instance of a woman’s business ability Is given in Franklin’s autobiography.

Franklin "He wo, a man ot learning, but Ignorant In matten ot account, and though he sometimes made me remittances I could get no account from him nor any satisfac­ tory state of our partnership while be lived. “On his decease the business was con­ tinued by his widow, who, being born and bred in Holland, where, as I have been Informed. the knowledge of ac­ counts makes a part of female educa­ tion, she not only sent me as clear a statement as she could find of the transactions past, but continued to ac­ count with the greatest regularity and exactness every quarter afterward and managed the business with such suc­ cess that she not only reputably brought up a family of children, but at the expiration of the term was able to purchase of me tbe printing house and establish her sou In It I mentlofa this affair chiefly for the sake of rec­ ommending that branch of education for our young women as likely to be of more use to them and their children.

Tbe leaven of road improvement seem, to be working In all parts of the United Stales. An eastern man who has recently taken a trip through Tex1 *• the enthusiasm with which the people have taken up the good roada ,u«a « raw—J. In In some countries idea Is wonderful. they are in danger of “going wild ’on the subject. Funds are being raised mainly by Issue of county bonds. | The state of Pennsylvania la going In I for good roads on a large scale, and if I money counts for anything in this work the Keystone State will have many miles of Improved highways In the near future. The Sproul good roads biJi which recently became a law to Pennsylvania carries an appropriation of $6,800,000. the largest appropria­ tion ever made by any state in the Union for road improvements. The bill provides for the establish­ ment of a state highway department The governor la to appoint a commis­ sioner who shall be a civil engineer ' and receive a salary of $3,500 a year. The commissioner shall appoint one assistant at $2,000 MMr, a chief clerk at $1,500 and a stefloffipher at $1,000. The state highwnj^aBfitssloner shall »f the mon. supervise the expei ey appropriated for good roads. j The state is to bear two-thirds the expense of road building, the counties [ one-sixth and the townships one-sixth. The state aid Is to be :ipj>ortioned ' among the counties according to tbe ! mileage of township roads In each county, and county commissioners have ‘ the right to select the kind of road to be built j The $6,500,000 appropriated la to be 1 spent as follows: First and second " third and fourth years, $500,000 each; years, $1,250,000 each; fifth and sixth years, $1,500,000 each. * The loss to farmers and other coun­ try residents from difficult transporta­ tion over the roads, the resulting wear and tear and the waste of bad work­ manship and Ineffective repairs Is a serious burden that presses upon the whole population apd keeps the coun­ ,_ On the other hand, the prostry |W poor. 1 perity that has come to rural commanltles that have substituted good roads for bad is so conspicuous as to Incite emulation. But many counties and 1 townships have not tbe means nor the proper equipment to undertake the 1m­ provement of main roods on a compre- . ' tvz.raal..n ia ato frra therefore, t henslve araralra scale. •T'I The state, comes to their support. Tbe principle Involved in the state aid plan Is exactly the same as that in­ volved in the scheme for national aid which has developed such popularity recently. The fundamental idea of both is that road improvement ia not „„ and merely a matter of .............. local Interest I responsibility, but a matter or Interest I „,nrero to the whole people, or. to put it another way. road building Is coming to be viewed as a species of “Internal improvement” belonging in the same class as river and harbor Im­ provements. Another reason why national and state aid is becoming so popular Is the realisation that unless something of the kind is adopted the burden of bad roads, like the poor, will be al­ ways with us. The bottomless roads of tbe country constitute a sort of "slough of despond" in which the peo­ ple are destined to flounder until some one comes along to help them out In fact, tbe expense for improving the roads in many localities is a burden which the local population is wholly unable to bear. It is believed that whenever the state or the nation reaches out a helping hand to such commu­ nities they will grasp it and bend all their energies to tbe great work of Im­ proving their highways, but they will never undertake the job without help from the outside. The frequent rains of the past few weeks have made the roads almost Im­ passable in a majority of the local communities throughout tbe eastern half of the United States. Perhaps this Is one of the reasons why the good roads idea is uppermost In so many minds.

BBILLIANTIN E GOWN, draped with ends at the back. A round wreath of tea rooes ornaments the Crown at the left Rain conts In white, black and the primary colors of red and blue—red especially—have gained In favor. Cloth wraps on cloudy or misty days have made a pleasing change in dark blue, black and beige shades with strap trim­ mings. brightened with large gold but­ tons. Big collar cape*, or Marcel col­ lars, and very wide sleeves are in evi­ dence. as well as many white silk or satin linings. Now and then a flow­ ered silk lining appears, when the capes blow up on windy days. A long coat of white or pale colored cloth cannot be omitted from any sum­ mer wardrobe. Whether simply made or much elaborated with trimming they have become quite Indispensable. For a short or long journey they are also worn or carried on the arm to be worn. In dove gray trimmed with black vel­ vet in narrow widths and pipings or narrow bands of white silk. Inlet Into the design carried out, have some of the best made coats been seen recently. Race jackets and Monte Carlos are luxurious little wraps and are jfrettily trimmed In various ways. The same style of gold buttons la to be seen on many, together with military frogs and cords. White cloth ones are the fa­ vorites, but one cannot deny the beauty of pale blue, pinkish fawn, champagne Rhadra and a new decided cream color. Fringes of cords, *as well as of silk, trim stoles and capes, with knotted or­ naments dangling many Inche* long from sleeves and fronts. Very large hats, quite beyond the di­ mensions of those worn last season, are to be exploited through the August sea­ son at Newport. So picturesque are they that only at full dress functions are they to be In good form. They are far too unmanageable and conspicuous for driving at parade hours, but of couree that will not deter a certain number from wearing them in spite of obstacles. Nothing Id the Hue of hats is more becoming than those with so ™< ed moderate brims, not exaggerate HL ®n_T y’t larger of brim than the bats worn last seasou strictly for the same purpose.

HA^T|NG.5, MICHIGAN. THURSDAY SEPTEMBER 24, “Pat’s Opinion.’’ The following is what Ex-Saperintendent of Public Instruction H. R. PattengiU says in the current number of his paper—the Michigan Moderator­ Topics: “Kalamazoo is rich, cultured, and beautiful; but the new normal school should not be located there. A short ride of two hours or so would take onehalf of its constituency to a State Nor­ mal already well established and as complete in equipment as any normal school in America. A trolley at one cent per mile, and a steam road at two cents per mile span the distance. Be­ sides there are Albion, Hillsdale, Olivet and Kalamazoo colleges all in close proximity already offering excellent pedagogical courses. Neither does it seem quite dignified for the state to auction off the school to the highest bidder. Doubtless there would have been some dissatisfaction whatever the choice of the state board, but if that body had deliberately planned to get right into the storm center of general disapproval, protest, criticism and vi­ tuperation it could not bare succeeded better. If the Michigan Central rail­ road only ran out into the lake, we might dangle one or two more state in­ stitutions thereon.

C., Sept 21.—Presi­ dent Roosevelt has acknowledged the receipt of the set of unfriendly’and defiant resolutions adopted by the Washington Central Labor union in a formal letter addressed to the secre­ tary of that organization. Word comes from Oyster Bay, which is in line with the belief that was generally enter­ tained here before, that the president will not vouchsafe any other answer to the resolutions antagonistic to his administration. The chief executive believes that the best thing to do under the circumstances will be to ignore the whole proceeding. To take cognizance of it by defending himself wduld be beneath the dignity of the president. The Central Labor union of this city last night took supplemental action In tbe case of W. A. Miller and adopted strong resolutions which were sent to President Roosevelt, urging Miller’s dismissal. The union earnestly re­ quests the president to modify his or­ ders of last July to Secretary Cortelyou, In which the president says there shall be no discrimination between union and non-union labor, and they further petition that “W. A. Miller, assistant foreman in the bindery of th^’ government printing office, be dis­ missed to promote .the efficiency of the service on charges made by the book­ binders' union, which, prove his un­ fitness for public servant." Knocked Wife Down Stairs. Middletown, O..

The Evening Herald of Parsons, Kan­ sas, gives a good deal of space in its columns to a write-up of lhe window decorations in Joyce Co's targe de­ partment store there on Labor Day. The man who was responsible for the artistic work is none other thau Mr. 0. E. Otis, a former Barry County boy and a son of Ferel Otis, of Rutland. Mr. Otis writes us that Parsons is a pretty thriving city of 10,000 located in the grass belt of Kansas, and is known as tbe “Queen City." In their recent Labor Day celebration there were seven bands, 5000 union men and several hun­ dred horses and floats in line, the par­ ade being nearly two and a half miles long. Mr. Otis has an excellent posi­ tion and judging by the class of work he does is destined to All still better ones. His friends here will be glad to note his prosperity and advance Iff the Sun flower State. The fifty-eighth congress will have as members 77 men who served in either lhe Federal or Confederate army duridg the civil war. That is quite remarkable in view of the fact that the war ended 38 years ago. It is also curious when it is known that a large majority of the men occupying a prominent position In business or po­ litical life were bom along about war times. Of the 77 congressmen 47 fought on the union side and 30 for the Confederacy. In the senate the divi­ sion is equal, there being 13 of each In the house there are 34 who fought in the union army and 17 for the con­ federates. When the question of mil­ itary rank is considered the senate again shows up well. There are three men in that body who bore the rank of brigadier general in the Confederate army and two brigadier generals in the Union army. In the house there are three who were Federal brigadier gen­ erals, while tbe highest rank held by a former Confederate is that of colonel, and there is only one*of these. We note that there is a desire on the part of some to change the method of electing officers of the fair. Instead of electing them on lhe fair grounds dur­ ing the fair, it is proposed to return to the old method and elect them at an annual meeting. We do not believe that such a change would be advisable nor for the best interests of the fair’ Last year something over 300 votes were cast for fair officers. It gives all a good opportunity to vote, and more members of the association will take advantage of the opportunity each year. Further than this the present method prevents a whole lot of illegal voting, which always characterized the old time annual meetings. At thorn meetings men voted regularly regardire. of the fact thV they were not memben and had no rifht to any voice iff the conduct of the bmineee of the meeting.

Another pretty fall wedding tools place last Wednesday evening, Septemn ber 23 at the home of the bride’s si-t«rt Mrs. Chas. Hoffman near Baufieldv when Miss Mabel R. Meade was united, in marriage to Edward W. Babcock in the presence of a large number ot friends and relatives. Miss Flossie Risor and Miss Nina Tungate assisted in receiving the guests. The room waa beautifully decorated in fall flowera and myrtle. The bridal party marcheck into the parlor to the strains of Men* delsohn’s wedding march, played by Miss—Zera Newland. Rev. S. IL Shranger, of Hickory Corners, per­ formed the ceremony. The bride was unattended and wore a dress of white Persian lawn with lace trimmings and carried bride's roses. After the ceremouy a delicious supper was served in the dining ro >m which was in charge of Mrs. Lilts. Mi«sea Olive Hoffman, Blossom Tungate, Vida Webster and Bessie Litts assisted in serving. Dahlias and ferns were used in profusion in th* dining room. The music rendered by the Missea Zera Newland and Pear! Brunney waa much appreciated. Mr. Babcock is one of Dowling’s highly respected young­ men and although he will be greatly missed both in the Maccabee lodge and other social circles, we join heartily in congratulations. Many useful and beautiful gifts were ieft the bridal couple as tokens of esteem in which they were held among their frienda. Mr. and Mrs. Babcock will begin housekeeping on a farm near Nashville and are followed by the beet wishes of their numerous friends who trust their future may be a bright one. ^ESOin UM.

Considering tbe way in 'Which all of the others implicated in that foul conspiracy were let off, the sentence was probably severe enough, • tos It would be unjust to make one cul• |>rit spend five years in prison, aud let another, equally guilty, off with a fine ‘ x>f >2,000. But the whole thing was a farce from beginning to end as far as punishment being inflicted is con­ cerned. Here were a number of the trusted officials of this slate, bolding responsible positions, supposed to have been selected because of their honesty and high character, banded together for pur­ poses of stealing and in collusion with certain ones in a well known business establishment, sought to fleece this totate out of 840,000 or 850,000 aigi Whack up the plunder like a band of pirates. For this black crime, one of 1 the conspirator?, Will White, spent one ; bight in prison but was pardoned the ( taext day. All of the others escaped by paying fines. The ignorant wretch who deliberate­ ly breaks into a store and steals 825 or <50 worth of plunder, is entitled to tnore respect than is the trusted official ’Who, fully aware of the penalty of his ■Wrong doing, deliberately violates pub­ lic confidence and seeks to profit by the protection afforded by a good name and an honorable career. The poor, ignorant fellow who would steal a few paltry dollars worth of goods, would tioubtless spend several years iu states prison, because he could command Neither money nor influence to aid him, but the gang that deliberately sets oat to rob the state of 840,000 or 850,000 goes scot free, except one man, who, doubtless through some oversight was permitted to spend one whole nlrjht in prison. To be sure ail of them paid fines, but paying out money doesn't cut any figure when the amount of “swag” ts large, and especially when you have plenty tb pay from. In the minds of older persons the out bome of the military scandals in this 'state tends to beget a feeling of mlsVstt in our institutions, and a feeling that Justice is stone blind in the pres­ ence of money and influence. * In the minds of young men fortunate enough to command wealth or influential friends, the outcome of the military acandais can be nothing else than an ^recouragement for them to violate a ’trtst Imposed upon them in a similar itttamer, feeling that if caught, they ’tdo can escape behind the protection of influenUal friends. •Judge Wiest and the prosecuting 'officers are entitled to credit for hon‘estly doing their duty and seeking to •have ‘JhsCfce done.

After Roosevelt For!hia part in the settlement in the 'great coal strike, and because of his activity in making the Trusts come to an accounting, President Roosevelt has secured the enmity of several of the Of this country, jarominent amu’fig them being J. Pier­ mont Morgan, who is said to be a moat tebatleee enemy. Mr. Morgan has the toms in his possession to make a stiff not caused President Booeevelt to John Mitchell for President of the American Federation of Labor. Gompers is a Hanna man, and John Mitchell, president of the miners uni>n, is an ardent supporter of President Roosevelt That those who have the best interests of labor at heart are in hearty sympathy with the President’s attitude, and his determination to do his duty regardless of consequences, may be imagined from the following resolutions passed by the general exe cutive. board of the Knlgbts of Labor. The resolutions read as follows:— “Whereat, A newspaper report de claree that certain labor organizations and their leaders are attempting to have organized labor take up the fight of the enemieejof President Roosevelt because of his action in the dispute in the government printing office in Wash­ ington, and believing the president to be one of the best friends organized la­ bor ever had in the white house and that the present move is a political one in the interest of prominent Republi­ cans who control some few leaders with the desire to attempt the defeat of President Roosevelt, “Therefore, Reeolved that the action taken at this time against President Roosevelt, is not in the interest of or­ ganized labor, but a political move. That if carried out it will disrupt our labor organizations, injure the mem­ bers, and if the leaders attempt any such action a majority of the members of all organizations without regard to their political opinions should refuse to recognize and repudiate such leaders and their action. “Be It further resolved, that such ac­ tion as contemplated against President Roosevelt is one of the many errors and mistakes made by organized labor, such as seem inclined to ignore the rights of others, create strikes, and make demands that are unreasonable, relying not on the justice of their claims, but on the amount of loss or trouble they can cause others, to see what they can secure by depending on politicians and not on the justice of their demands. “And be it further resolved, that as Senator Hanna of Ohio is said to be a great friend of organized labor, and that as he is also considered a loyal supporter and sincere friend of Presi­ dent Roosevelt, we therefore suggest that both sides of the present contro­ versy existing in the printing office re­ ier fer me the ais dispute to Senator Hanna for decision.” The “American Machinist” com­ ments on a statement which recently appeared in an/ English journal and which was credited to an “old surgical instrument maker,” to the effect that fine steel for his purpose can only be made in England. The “Machinist” points out that an expert worker of the kind alluded to must necessarily have a very narrow experience in the use of steels, and that experience in these matters might be long without being broad. As a matter of fact, the finest kinds of surgical and other instru­ ments are made in this country of American steel. The old surgical in­ strument maker’s assertion, however, serves a useful purpose. It reminds । Americans of the day when they were told by other old experienced workers that we could not learn to make steel at all. It is profitable to let the mind travel back tojthe time when we al­ lowed ourselves to be stuffed with such nonsense, because a comparison of our present exploits with the miscarried as­ sertions and prophecies nerves us to new efforts In the field of industry.

Jackson, Mich., Sept. 29.—Rev. J. F. Orwlnk. was given the best there was going by the sixty-eighth Methodist Michigan inference at its session Monday. His case was peculiar in that a civic court had said that he was insane just after the time when he was charged with misconduct and dis­ missed from the chaplaincy of tbe Michigan slate prison. His case was referred to the conference relation committee at the opening of the ses­ sion 1 and that committee reported the matter out, recommending that ''his character pass and he be granted a superannuated relation.'* This means that'there is no blemish upon the char­ acter of Rev. Orwlck, and not only completely exonerates him. but the superannuated relation is practically putting him In e position to draw a pension from the church. Rev. C. M. Wekh, formerly of Nash­ ville and now of Ann Arbor, who has gone into business, was permitted to withdraw from the ministry. Rev. E J. Wilson was honorably discharged tc enter the ministry of another church. Revs. W. A. Frye and W. J. Cogshall will confer with committees from oth­ er churches relative to a federation of churches; Rev. S. C, Strickland will go as delegate to the Anti-Saloon con­ gress at Washington; the Michigan conference indorsed the action of the Rock River conference, requesting the president of the United States to pro­ hibit the sale of intoxicants In the na tion'B possessions; Rev. R. W. VaSchoick of Niles was granted a re spite from duty for the year. One Important feature of Monday’s session was tbe appointment of stand­ ing boards and committees. As a COOK f-ROV.

HOW TO REAR DUCKS. & 11* ‘ iLi R it-; The Pekin duck is apparently more popular than any other variety for lay­ ing, for feathers and for market, says a writer in Louisville Courier-JonrnaL Many persons, on account of unsuita­ ble location, cannot successfully raise either turkeys or chicks; but while the situation is too low or too damp for them it may be the ideal place for ducks. Ducks must have an abun­ dance of pure water to drink, bnt It is not necessary that ponds should be pro­ vided for swimming purposes. If a small stream or creek Is a natural fea­ ture of the land, so much the better, as -water will be at hand and much labor saved. Ducks generally lay from eight to Cne dozen eggs during the season. It better to let hens batch tbe first sit­ tings of egps. Twelve eggs are enough for an ord.anry sized hen to cover well. After hatching place them in a coop •with the hrn and make a yard to sur­ round tbe coop, which should be pro­ vided with a slatted door, with springs between slats wide enough to permit tbe ducks to go in and out at wilt Huke the yard of four boards ten or twelve feet long each and one foot wide, placing them in a square; they may be supported by stakes placed at each corner. When the weather la warm and bright • the ducklings may be al­ lowed to remain In the yard all day, bnt must be put Into the coop during rains. A shower of rain often proves fatal to them if exposed. Keep coops warm, dry and clean. Give table scraps and crumbs at first, then cracked corn —scalded—and wet corn meat slightly salted, may be fed. Provide green food, minced, as lettuce, turnip tops, dande­ lion.- etc., while they are confined to yards. Change to a fresh place as rttften as needed. Keep them in the yards until they can get out without help. They may be removed to a field or lot wbicb should be inclosed with pickets or chicken wire fence. A swampy, marshy field, if it has a small portion of upland only, will answer very well for ducks. Give grain once a day. at least. To fatten for market remove to pens and feed wheat nnd other grain or J wetted corn meal may be fed. Give j plenty of forage also and fresh drink­ ing water. In two weeks they should be ready for market, and will lie if well, managed beforehand. At ten weeks a pair of ducks should weigh ten pounds.

C.» Sept 28.—While running at a high rate of speed, train No. 97 on the Southern railway, the southbound fast mail train, jumped from a trestle, seventy-five feet high, half a mile north of Danville, Va., Sun­ day afternoon and. was almoet demol­ ished. Of the crew of sixteen men, including mall carriers, on the train nine were killed and seven injured. The dead are: Engineer J. a. Brodie of Placerville, Va.; Fireman Clarence White, Conductor Tom Blair cf Cetral, N. C„ and Mail Clerks J. L. Thompson of Washington, D. C.; W. T. Chambers of Midland. Va.; D. T. Flory of Nokes­ ville, Va.; P. N. Ardanwrlght, Mount Clinton, Va.; a flagman and a brake­ man, whose names are not known. Tbe injured: Mail Clerks Louis W. Spiers, Manassas, Va.; Frank E. Brooks, Charlottesville, Va.; Percival Indenmauer, Washington; Charles E. Reames, Culpeper. Va.; Jennings J. Dunlap, Washington; M. C. Maupin. Charlottesville, and • J. Harrison Thompson, St. Luke, Va. tgfo • All the injured m«n are seriWly hurt and have been taken to the hospita! in Danville. The trestle where the accident oc­ curred is 500 feet long and is located on a sharp curve. Engineer Brodie was a new man on that division of the Southern, and it is said he came to the curve at a very-high rate of speed. The engine had gone only about fifty feet on the trestle when it sprang from the track, carrying with it four mail cars and an express car. The trestle, a wooden structure, also gave way for a space of fifty feet. Several thousand people were soon at the scene of the wreck. No one on any of the cars had made an effort to jump, and the bodies of al! those killed were found in the wreckage of the dif ferent cars to which they belonged. All unofficial opinions that have been ascertained agree In giving only end cause of the wreck—the high speed of. tbe train on the sharp curve. Train No. 97 was running about an hour behind time. It is thought that* the engineer, being unfamiliar with the road, did not take Into cotyjideration the danger of coming on the curve with such great velocity. Increase In Immigration.

This as­ tonishing amount Is due to the abrupt­ ness of the mountains which face the bay of Bengal, from which they are separated by 200 miles of low swamps and marshes. Here Is an estimate of the average age attained by men In various Euro­ pean. countries: Norway and Sweden head tbe list with fifty years.

In some cases there were severa[ indictments against one person. Concerning the?

All the indictments are founded upon tin? treatment by Tyner and Barrett of th® business of the socalled tond investment companies. For Barrett's Profit. ‘ It is argued that. It was the duty of Tyner and Barreu—assistant attorney­ general and assistant attorney for the postofflee department—to Investigate the methods of concerns charged with improper use of the malls, and In case of guilt to report to the postmaster­ general. but Tyner and Barrett con­ spired to give them unobstructed use Cn*T ... 1 •. 1' of the mails in order that Barrett might profit thereby. liisxro The charge against Hallenbeck and !•> 10, the Metcalfs Is that of conspiracy to 10:15* defraud tbe United States.

RaATWES GAVE THEM A HAPPY SURPRISE YESTERDAY, AND THE OCCASION WAS A PLEASANT REMINDER. The Venerable Couple have Seen Many Mark­ ed Changes in this County Since Makmg It Their Residence. The Life of Mr. and Mrs. Pennock will be found Most Interesting. acterized their long and useful lives, and th wish them many returns of this happy occasion. In connection with this celebration it has been suggested that a sketch of the life of Mr. Pennock would be of interest as showing the struggles which the early pioneers had to undergo and the scanty pleasures they enjoyed in comparison with the struggles and pleasures of the young people of our own time. Ebenezer Pennock, or as he is com­ monly called, Eben Pennock, was born . in the town of Rushford, Alleghany Co., . New York, Jan. 4. 1834. Dis parents were of English ancestry and came ■ from near Montpelier, Vermont. Mr. Pennock was the fourth child in a fam ily of eleven. He had five own brothers, two own sisters, two half brothers and one half sister. Of this large family there remains Mr. Pennock and one own brother, Mr. Bailey Pennock, of . Petoskey; two half-brothers, Myron Pennock, of Nashville, and Charles Pennock, of Delton, and a hfal-sister residing near Delton. Mr. Pennock's boyhood days were spent in much the same manner os . those of most sons of the pioneers of western New York. His parents were very poor. He never owned a pair of boots until be was large enough to earn the money with which to buy them. His opportunities for getting an edu­ cation were very limited. The public schools of his time were supported on the rate bill plan and his parents were too poor to pay their share of the bill. Mr. Pennock says that even when he • s are spared to cele- did go to school he often took his din­ anniversary of their ner basket and went apart from lhe i was indeed a most rest of the pupils to eat his dinner, be­ part of some of ing ashamed of the meager lunch which ■ gather at the home of his parents were able to provide.

'9’3 Thursday.- ♦♦ < 11 *** 11,t1 I WSLICK MEI By DAVID FLEMING CopvrtoM. IM by T. C. MeCurt Hundreds of people knew Charlie Davids as a clubman having bachelor rooms and living In fair style. Not one man. however, could more than, guess the source from whence his in­ come was derived. He had been a captain in her majesty’s service. but had been obliged to resign for lack of funds to go the pace. There were hints about a rich aunt at home, a richer uncle In Australia, some sort of an investment In the United States, but no one bad any certain informa­ !.1S, M. D.» LL. D. fjtOF.KnWVI.' tion. Davids was a gentleman, and there was no doubt that he stood well with most mothers who had marriageable daughters. The men who hinted that there was anything crooked about the ex-captaln would have been taken to Eminent Discoverer of task at once, nnd yet there was one man Ih London who firmly believed It and mount to prove it. That man was McNulty, an old Scothind Yard de­ tective. On a certain occasion while he was piping off a receiver of stolen 4. D., LL. D., goods he got sight of Charlie Davids d graduated at In confidential confab with the man. He did not know him then, but he at oght him teputaonce Ret out to learn who he was. In circled to the course of u few weeks he Rat down ■ and stir«ery in and summed up his ease ns follows: est he was ap-. "Davida Is crooked because he has! h College.

He is evidently bus plcious. He knows of the robberies, and while he cannot connect me with (hem he will set traps for me In fu­ ture. Look out for McNulty.” From that day on for’the next six months It was McNulty versus Davids —Davids versus McNulty. The fact that ^suspicion reseed upon him even tn the mind of one man served to make the ex-captain bolder than before. Four or five robberies occurred during the six months that left no doubt in Mc­ upleiGrindingMill.

On the afternoon of the eighth day. while the men were all in the covers shooting and the women scat­ tered nbont the house.' and while Lady W®“ ly,ng down in her room for Vbrlef nap, her whole outfit of jew­ elry was taken as if by Invisible hands. Every male guest was in the field with Kun In hand; every servant could ac­ count for his or her time to a second. Lady Gray’s door was locked, and the jewels had been taken by some one finding entrance at the open window. A gardener had been engaged all the afternoon, trimming a rosebush that grew under that window and a part of the time he had used a ladder. He de­ clared that he had not left his work for a moment He was searched and questioned, but even the chagrined and indignant McNulty believed in his In­ nocence. Inquiries cautiously made in regard to Charlie Davids brought out the fact that he was a mile away at the moment the robbery occurred. The haul amounted to about £60,000. and Scotland Yard got the worst black eye it ever received. Six months later the ex-captaln, for good and sufficient reasons, took up bls permanent abode In Paris. He had been there a year or more when he and McNulty met on the street one day. The detective was Invited to have a smoke and a drink, and as they sat in Davids’ luxurious quarters the baf­ fled O0c«r musingly observed: "Davids, that robbery at Henderson’s was a very queer thing. The slick one has got clear off with the goods and can never lie meddled with, but I should like to hear what you think about It” "I have often thougiit of the matter,” quietly rvplie«l the ex-captaln, “nnd It Is quite dear to me. In the first place, the thief, whoever he was. spotted you in spite of your disguise. Then he got on to the other two. Then he saw that things had been made too easy, He waited till all the men were In the field, and tbeu. although he was not missed, he slipped aside, donned the dross of a gardener and made for the house. He reached it as the man at work ou the rosebush went to the barn for a moment to drink with the coach­ man. The man waa not absent for five minutes, but ho lied about it. In that five minutes the thief asepnded to the room, got the box of Jewels nnd descended and made off, ami lie was lucky enough to don his own dress, se­ cure the box- and rejoin the hunt with­ out having been missed. Luck does attend some folks, you know.” “Y-e^s. 1 know it does." Alowly re­ plied McNulty us he nodded his bead and drew nt bis cigar trllttle more vlgorously. “Anything else?" asked the ex-cap tain after a long pause. "No. nothing else.” was the reply. "I have accepted your view of the case, and I shan’t let It worry me any Ion­ ger, particularly ns the thief is no Ionger living In England."

Seven years ago iq company with his brother Eari he went west to grow up with the country. At the present time the boys own 1,800 acres of land, 900 of which was devoted to raising wheat this year. While having a high respect for old Barry County, yet Fred says that the west is the place for a young man, who has some snap and get-up to him, and who is willing to put up with a few inconviences. Bert Colwell, father of Fred and Ear) formerly resided a short distance east of the city, but is now marshal of Richville. The board of Supervisors convened Monday and proceeded to business by electing Supervisor Cock as Chairman. The session will doubtless last for a couple of weeks all told. The election of Drain Commissioner and Janitor will not be held until nfcxt Tuesday. There seems to be considerable of la contest on for the former position, nearly every township presenting the name of a favorite son. Burton Ferry, of Prairieville, was elected as School Examiner, and Chas. Welssert, of this city, was re-elected as Supt. of Poor. The supervisors went out to the County farm to-day as guests of Over­ seer Lichty and his estimable wife, who have the faculty of making visitors welcome. Yesterday a delegation of Freeport citizens was before the board to have their village Incorporated, but the mrflter was put over until the -January seasion. The committee on equalization is at work,but just what will be done is uncertain at this time. Perhaps some idea of what issues the democratic party may “spring” next year may be gleaned from the speeches of Tom Johnson of Cleveland, and Mr. Ularke his candidate for the United States Senate. This edifying bunch of politicians Is trying to get control of Ohio politics. Mr. Johnson, who is a tnulti-millionaire, wants the presiden­ tial nomination, and Mr. Clarke wants to succeed Senator Hanna. Johnson talked about government by injunction, •and Clarke fired a choice assortment of calamity bowls. Think of talking calamity to people in these prosperous As will be seen by a brief notice times. It is an insult to the intelligence elsewhere in this issue a new bank has ‘of the people of Ohio. . been started at Lake Odessa, of which County Clerk Veite will be Cashier.

Detroit, Mich.. Oct 13.—Charted with receiving and concealing stolen furs to the value of $3,52$, a warrant waa issued by Justice Sellers tn the police court Monday afternoon at 4 o’clock against ex-Justice of the Peace Thomas W. Fitzsimmons. The pris­ oner was taken from his cell in the central station and arraigned, plead­ ing not guilty. Ball was fixed at $1,000, two sureties were secured and Fitz­ simmons was set at liberty. The preliminary hearing was set for Friday, OcL 23. Bail was fixed by the justice at $1,000 and was immediately secured. “I do not care to say anything about the matter now,” declared Fitzsim­ mons when set at liberty. “It is my intention to draw up a statement of the affair and submit it to the public, it will not be for a couple ot days, however.” It is understood that to the police Fitzsimmons maintained that he was acting in his capacity as an attorney when he got the goods from a house at 763 Wabash avenue, and that as ae took*legal methods to secure them be cannot be accused of receiving stolon property. On the other hand, the po­ lice are wondering how he knew the goods were at the Wabash avenue ad­ dress. Mrs. Frank Houser, who lives at the above number at Wabash avenue, de­ ciares that the trunk and valise werp brought to her house last Thursday. A man who gave the name of Brown engaged the room and paid two week* rent in advance. He drove the rig he brought the goods in and said that he would be back, but failed to turn up again. The identity of this man “Brown” Is what the police are now investigating. “Dutch Charley” Suspected. The authorities believe that he ‘s none other ’han the notorious Charles filler, alias “Dutch Charley.” From the weight and number of the furs stolen it is evident that they were taken from an establishment at 36 Mt ami avenue, robbery having been com­ mitted there a short time ago. The description of the man ‘‘Brown’’ tai lies with that of Miller. It is now believed that before any arrangements were made for the re­ turn of the furs to their owner, the man who actually committed the bur­ glary flitted out of town and Is now In some other city waiting for develop­ ments in the case. Circulars were is­ sued by the police department yester­ day and the country will be scoured for him. The police continue to refuse to di­ vulge how they believe Fitzsimmons became connected with the crime and the accused assumes a similar atti­ tude, declaring that be Is an attorney and is acting for a client in the mat­ ter. t^de.farmer, while lurane, .hot . dog vanaZn^”11. °f the r,J’l,lence Scott Mnffelu lot evening.

Pirne’: Here is a story told by the Rochester Herald In which the distinguished Bishop Doane, of Albany, and Mark Twain are the.Wrineipals: Bishop Doane was at one time the rector of an Episcopal church in Hartford, and the services at this church Mark Twain would occasionally attend. Twain one Sunday played a Joke upon the rector. “Dr. Doane,” he said at the end of the service, “I enjoyed your sermon this morning. I welcomed it like an old friend. 1 have, you know, a book at home containing every word of it.” "You have not,” said Dr. Doane. “I have so,” said the humorist. “Well, send that book to me. I'd like to see it” "1’11 send it,” Twain replied. And he sent the next morning an unabridg­ ed dictionary to the rector/—New York Tribune. 4 Advertised Letters.

A man who fights gener­ ously and chivalrously Is not, as a rule, excessively bashful or unduly tongue tied In the presence of ladles. Presently the colonel stamped his booted foot and swore beneath his breath. The quiet air carried sound far and clear, and to his ears there came faint strains of music, the bum of a guitar and an enormous baritone raised In song. Then the colonel retired within the grove of trees to reappear shortly with two of his men. They cautlously embarked in a small flatboat which had been concealed by a clump of undergrowth. The obliging moon had retreated behind a cloud bank. In the parlor of the Tayloe mansion the lights were low—even candles were dear In the south toward the close of the war—but their dim rays could not conceal the beauty of two girls who sat lovingly upon a sofa, each with an arm atwut the other. Though they were sisters, one was dark and mis­ chievous—the younger. Allee Tayloe— while the other was tall and fair and serious. Both were very good for a soldier man to look upon. To them came a song from the night without. Dick Atnyas, captain of the Nineteenth Ohio, and Lieutenant Hen­ ry were of a mind that no time more than tbe present was auspicious for the wooing of a maid or two. The jfultar buzzed resonantly under the deft fingers of the captain and their commingled voices warbled a melting serenade. Simultaneously the four eyes of them wore steadfastly observ­ ant of the vine twined parlor case­ ment They were expectant of an in­ vitation to enter. This was not their first duet beneath the window. In­ deed, it Is to be suspected that Miss Alice was in no way averse to the con­ quest of the north bloodlessly and by units. Three gray shadows stole up behind the two. Colonel Prentice held up a warning hand and paused, listening with hardly ravished ears to the con­ cluding bars of “The Blue Juniata." He nodded Jn appreciation of an ex­ cellent rendering, but when the song came to an end and a pleased murmur floated through the casement the heart of the Confederate was hardened. “Gentlemen—hm’” he observed soft­ ly.

Good night” Governor Washburn was a thorough gentleman through nnd through, cour­ teous* well bred nnd with an entirely sufficient sense of his own dignity. But he bad little respect for any false no­ tions of gentility and had a habit of going straight at any difficulty himself. To this habit he owed much of his suc­ cess in life. A very umusing story was told by Mrs. Washburn long after her husband’s death. Her story was that one time when Judge Washburn was governor the members of his staff came to Worces­ ter on some public occasion and were all Invited to his house to spend the night When he got up In the morn­ ing he found to bls consternation that the man who was in the habit of doing such services at his house was sick or for some other reason bad failed to put in an appearance and none of the boots of the young gentlemen was blacked. The governor was master of the situation. He descended to his cellar, took off his coat, blacked all the boots of the youngsters himself and met them at breakfast with his usual pleasant courtesy as If nothing had happened.—Senator Hoar in Scribner’s. The Hopl songs for different pur­ poses are different In character. They are all definite In form, with forceful graceful or poetic words. The Katclna dance songs consist of an Introduction on vowel syllables, then the song Itself, also Interspersed with vowel refrains, and lastly a sort of coda, again on vow­ el syUables. And the Hopls sing. Theirs is no crooning over a camp fire, no monotonous chanting, no nasal dron­ ing. The men have fine, clear voices and the women sing softly with a -breathy" tone, the quality of which sounds often just a little sharp in pitch. The gentle lullabies, the pretty, graceful basket songs of the women and the melodies to which they grind their corn are os different from the rugged, rhythmic Katclna songs as are ♦he cliffs of the mesa from the btosin the fields below.—Natalie Cmtte iu HaroeFa SIMPLE MILK TESTER.'

If it tips cut it shorter, little by little, until only a small end projects above the water. Now mark the exact water line by a slight notch. Next take a strip of paper as long as the distance from this cut to the rub­ ber end and fold it in half; then fold one end to the center crease, then the same end to the new crease, repenting until you have folded five times. At the distance between thia last crease and the end (about one-eighth inch) from tbe first cut on the pencil make another cut nearer the rubber end. Now you are ready to float the pencil in the milk. If ti^e milk is pure the pencil will sink as deep as the second notch; If the milk has been watered it will float between the two notches, and If It has been /tkimmed it will float with both notches out Unskimmed milk Is about 3 per cent heavier than water; hence the more water added to the milk the deeper the pencil will sink until It approaches the notch for water. Cream Is lighter than water; hence If the cream has been skimmed off the pencil will not sink so deep ns in whole milk, since what re­ mains after skimming Is heavier than whole milk. Although the distance between the notches Is small, the level In milk should be exactly at the second notch, ns milk is constant in weight, and the failure of the pencil to sink to the notch should arouse suspicion. „ Muzy, Ljroa Co..

His Audience Left the Hall. < A clever and handy woman tells how with three common pine kitchen ta­ bles and a little ingenuity, paint and trouble she made a dainty buffet, a li­ brary table and a dining table, the lat­ ter two to be used together as a larger dining table in case of emergency. For tbe buffet the materials used, she mj's, were one piue kitchen table, one 0 DAINTY BVFFET. pine board and two pieces of oak with scrolled edges, used as wall hatracks, Which were bought at a sale for 25 cents goch. Fasten to the bottom of the table legs the pine board; then put four short legs underneath that give height. Fasten one rack on the top of the table at the side opposite drawer. Saw the other rack In two, lengthwise, and place one half under the body of the table at the front, the other half under the shelf being formed by the pine board. Stain all the color of oak and varnish. Put two brass handles on the drawer and fasten casters to tbe legs. If you cannot get hatracks use a mirror for the back piece and have sawed some curved pieces for the front trimmings. With two more kitchen tables stain­ ed and varnished you'have a dining table large enough for two or more and also a library table, the latter to be covered with a neat spread. When guests come wheel the two together and form a square table large enough for four and possibly eight It Is a great thing for husband and wife to win the battle together, to have the aame alms and to be In mutu­ al sympathy at the same time. When a man begins life poor it Is the wom­ an’s -place to help him economize, not to claim every dollar herself as fast as he earns It. nor to make his burden heavier by needless extravagance and use of credit When be desires to rise in the world, whether be be struggling for an educa­ tion or entering upon a public career, she should not hold him back by her lack of ambition nor drag him down . by her moral weaknesses, but bravely and cordially say. *T am going along with you.” Discouragement only re­ quires him to study how be can over­ come the objections raised, to postpone his plans or fall behind In the race, when he should be pressing on toward the mark of his high aspiration. AttraetiTeaeM ot Sereeaa. Screens never go out of fashion or Joee their attractiveness for those who admire artistic adjuncts to the ordi­ nary furnishings of the home. In three and four paneled screens some hand­ some examples were seen at a recent exhibition. A few were covered with plain cloth of an artistic shade, upon which a cross banding of dull gold braid, after the pattern of some Shera­ ton molding on a cabinet door, made a charming ornamentation. Others were of seif colored tapestry with Watteau medallions set In tbe top of the center panels, while others again would har­ monize perfectly with the furnishings •f a French room, with their paneling ot picture tapestry and likewise sug­ gesting Watteau. Mistakes la Girta* Dlaaers. ▲ somewhat general mistake In din­ ner giving is to crowd too many dishes Into the various courses, thereby giv­ ing a cook of but moderate powers more to do than she can possibly get through, and thus all the things she sends up are faulty. Another error of judgment Is to omit from a menu the things that it is imperative to give. Whether the guests number six, eight •r ten. the menu should include the fol­ lowing: Soup, Bah. one entree, a roast and two vegetables, a second course in the form of poultry or game, two •wcets nnd a savory, cheese and bis­ cuits. It Is not necessary to commence with an hors d’oeu^K or to conclude with Ices. • BE WAS R1PEATEDLY HISSED His Weak Story of How It Waa Re­ vealed That He' Waa Elijah—Bit­ terly Denounced Newspapermen— Said He Was After Money. New York. Oct. 20.—When Mr. Dowie opened his night meeting In Madison Square Garden he faced an immense throng, when he closed it his audience had dwindled to only a tew hundred persons besides the "boat” he brought with him from the west. He fretted, fumed, threatened, cajoled and finally resorted to the use of epithets, his hearers meanwhile leaving the meeting several hundred together, drowning the sound of his voice. He had announced that last night would tell how It was revealed to him that he was "Elijah” and also that he would have something to say to the newspapers and their reporters. His talk, which was interspersed with sev­ eral hymns at time when the tramp of Ihose leaving the hall Was more than his voice could overcome, was de­ voted chiefly to denunciation of tobac­ co smokers, liquor drinkers and news­ papermen, all of whom he classed as “dirty dogs" and ’’dirty birds.” Several times the audience hissed Mr. Dowie. After one such demon­ stration he shouted: "We come here, and we get your Im­ pudence. but I will get your hearts and then I will get your pocketbooks. "There Is nothing so joyful as spend­ ing money for the Lord,” be continued. “They say I came to New York for money. I do not deny the soft Im­ peachment.” He said the story that his wife lost a |1.500 diamond pin was untrue, as she never owned a pin like that, nor had she lost anything. The tales printed about his people being hungry were all Iles, he said. He had "licked" the press of Chicago and he would "lick” the press of New York. He would lick these “vultures.’* Finally he came to the promised story of revelation. He quoted scrip­ ture to show that Elijah was to come a third time. A minister had told him that he was Elijah, but he was loath, to believe it. but finally after going over the situation carefully he made up his mind that he was truly Elijah. Then at the opening of a building in Zion two years ago he had proclaimed himself Elijah, well knowing the fear­ ful responsibilities of the restoration that he must lead. FOOLED INTO SUICIDE Alleged Negro Murderer Hanged Him­ self In Jail. SL Louis, Mo., Oct 20.—It Is be­ lieved by the police that the mystery of. the murder of Mrs. Kate Lauman, whose dead body was found lying by the roadside near Normandy Thurs­ day, has beer partially solved through the suicide cf John Williams, a negro arrested late Saturday night as a sus­ pect Williams, who said he had recently oome from Mississippi, made several attempts to sell a revolver Saturday and this aroused suspicion. He was taken into custody and placed in the Clayton jail that night He asserted his innocence, but finally, under se­ vere questioning, made the remark: “Well, there are others In this. HI tell yob more about it tomorrow.” Yesterday forenoon a small fire oc­ curred near the jail ana caused some excitement. After it had been extin­ guished Sheriff Hencken went to Will­ iams’ cell to question him and found the prisoner dead. He had banged himself. It Is thought the excitement caused by the fire alarmed Williams into the belief that a mob was ap­ proaching the jail to lynch him. and he quickly hanged himself with a sheet. Eight Msn Kilim.

CapL Ferry and forty-seven members Df the crew of tbe steamer Eldorado .|Msed through this city en route for Montreal. The Eldorado, a ship of 850 tons bur­ den, struck an .uncharted rock at the entrance at Hudson Bay, near Fort George, and sank. All the cHw suc­ ceeded in getting ashore, but were completely destitute of provisions and saved only the clothing that was upon their backs. The ship and crew com­ prised an exploration and trading ex­ pedition sent out by stock company. They can-fed a large stock of goods suitable ior barter with the Indians in exchange for furs, and it was proposed to operate along the lines of tho Hud­ son Bay company. Nothing was saved from the wreck and the men began their long march southward almost destitute of provisions and supplies of any kind that could be exchanged tor food. They marched through the wil­ derness for forty-two days, covering nearly six hundred miles. Their suf­ fering was intense, but not a single nan succumbed. They struck the Temiscaming railroad two days ago and were token on board by a passing train and carried to the junction with the Canadian Pacific road, where they were transferred to a Montreal train. In Montreal Capt. F erry expects to meet some of the shareholders of the company which backed the expedition. A FATAL MISTAKE. Young Hunter Drew Qun Toward Him and Was Killed. Holly.

Thus she will generally avoid a lace “leaf.” as It Is too light to make enough breeze to be really cooling. Desirable modern lace fans are In rose point and point de gaze. Duchesse, too, looks well with a light shell or carved pearl stick, while Valenciennes Is too fine to be of any practical use and too expensive to be possible to any but the longest purse; indeed. It Is more effective in a cabinet than a drawing room. Comparatively few fans are made of Irish lace. Carrickmneross and Irish crochet prove cheap­ er. but are too heavy to mount well. Irish point In fan leaf is a rare and very expensive luxury. Nearly all fans today open to the half circle and are made in all sizes. Tbe first Illustration to this article is an exception, being a little short of the half circle, though not nearly enough so to be called empire.

It is useful to remember that shell and pearl are peculiarly brittle and liable to break. Many fan sticks are carved In France, and there, too. originate many of tho designs for the leaf—the lace or spangled leaf as well as those print-, cd on silk, vellum, paper, chicken skin or muslin.

SIMPLY BREATHE IT. A Few Minutes' L'se of Hyomel Four Times a Day Cures Catarrh. The 'pleasantest, most convenient^ and the only scientific method for the treatment and cure of catarrh Is Hyomei. Simply put twenty drops of Hyomei in the inhaler that comes with every package and then breathe it for k few minutes four times a day. It seems remarkable that so simple a way of treating catarrh will effect a. cure, but the most important discov­ eries of science have always been the simplest By breathing Hyomel iu this way every particle of air that en­ ters the air passages of the throat and head and goes into tbe lungs is charged with a healing balsam that kills the germs and baccilli of catarrh and. soothes and allays al) irritation. Tbe first day's use of Hyomei will show a decided improvement and in a short time there will be no further trouble from catarrh. Its action la rapid and lasting. You take no risk in buying Hyomei. A complete outfit costs $1.00, and if after using you can say that it has not helped you W. J. Holloway will return your money.

The consequences of the official and dual adjustment of the Alaskan bound­ ary controversy will be more important than is commonly supposed. Not only is the last source of any disagreement between the United States and England and Canada in regard to any delimita­ tion of territory settled, but the status of Alaska itself will be immediately and vastly improved. The refusal of the Canadian commissioners,to sign re­ port will count for nothing. The vote of Lord Al verstone, England’s own * member of the commission, in favor of Ihe American contention gives a major­ ity to our side which will be as dual as If the vote were unanimous. The Ca­ nadian members, whether they were Impressed by the American arguments X>r not, felt that the sentiment of their locality would not permit them to ac­ cept the American view. This will not liave the slightest effect, however, on the validity or finality of the decision. The question is how settled for all time* and the work of developing tbe whole ■of Alaska can be prosecuted with vigor. 'One of the first effects of the settleknent will be that the projected railway* In Alaska will be pushed with energy hereafter. The Alaska Central, the most ambitious enterprise of this sort, •a being pushed forward with consider­ able speed already, and it will receive greater impetus from the settlement of the boundary issue. Trains have long 'been traversing the White Pass road, in the neighborhood of the Klondike gold fields. AU the diggings on the Ameritaa and most Of those on the British aide will soon be connected with the 'outside world by rail. The whole of the Tanana valley, near the center of the main portion of Alaska, will, at a time not distant, be opened by railroad communication with the United States and Canada. The Y ukon, which is the greatest river system on the Pacific coast except tbe Columbia, has most of Its length 1n United States territory. It traverses Alaska from east to west, approximately. Its great tributary, the Tanana, passes through a region Which is said to be rich not only in ag­ ricultural capabilities, but in mineral resources. This settlement will be one more of the Roosevelt administration’s con­ spicuous diplomatic triumphs^ The country in these Republican days has been winning so many victories in its ■controversies with other nations that the people have some trouble in keep­ ing track of them. This Alaskan con­ troversy attracted far more attention than did any of the other disputes, be­ cause it involved a question of bound­ ary. There were charges by the Demo crats a year or two ago that President Roosevelt intended to make some terri­ torial concessions to England and Con­ ada, or would be forced to do it, and that question gave them a good deal of comfort. If any surrender of territory bad been made the Democrats would liave had party capital enough to give them a boom in the campaign next year that would be worth many votes to V them. This chance is lost, and the oth­ er party will be the one which will pro­ fit by it. The settlement is a notable triumph for truth, for history and for a . national administration which has al­ ways been intelligently alert in main­ taining tbe interests of the American V>eople. The victory will make hun­ dreds of thousands of votes for the Re­ publican national ticket in 1904.—SI. XewU Globe Democrat. "British and American Workmen.

There Is in circulation $2,250,000,000 of money, or nearly $29 per capita. We are distri­ buting annually over $600,000,000 in civil and military expenditures, pen­ sions, improvements and the postal service. This is the reverse of the “glorious times” of 1893-7, with the factory instead of the soup house in operation, and the match of Coxey's army supplanted by the magnificent pro­ cession of the years of plenty, progress and prosperity. Never in |he history of this country, or any other country, did labor ever de­ mand and receive so large a share of what it produces aa- at the present day. Neverin the history of the world, was labor ever so universally employed and so highly paid. Contrast this condi­ tion with that of 1893-1897, when mills and factories were closed, and when strikes were frequent because of re­ ductions of wages. To be sure there are strikes today, but in every instance they are occasioned by demands for higher wages, or shortdi^hours, which amounts to the same thing. To en­ deavor to sow seeds of dissatisfaction. I in prosperous times like tbe present, is an act of demagogism pure and simple. Tbe world never saw such prosperous times as the United States is enjoying at tbe present. SPECIAL SALE! INGRAINS up to $i.oo per yard.

(i The chances of being shot In the north woods next month will be lessened to a marked degree by ths recent action of the railways of the state in reference to tbe sale of special hunters' tickets. Tbe railways claim that the hunters have abused the privilege formerly accorded them of buying special hunters'tickets in parties of three or more. The old rule required that the men must travel together, but It is stated that often tbe tickets would be purchased together, but that one or more would go to their destination singly. For this reason, which they giro, the hunters will hereafter be re. quired to either pay full fare or get up parlies of ten, in which case they can get the same kind of tickets heretofore given to any excursion party of three or more. While some of tbe railways advance this reason for doing away with hunters’ tickets, it has been sag rested that the cause is an entirely different one. Some time ago tbe return trip ticket, except on special excursloTu, was done away with.

Anyone hiving any need for anything in the line of About twenty members of the Ma­ sonic lodge went to Grand Rapids Mon­ day night as guests of York lodge, and witnessed the conferring of the third degree by a degree team from Detroit. The boys speak in the highest terms of the Valley City lodge and of the hos­ pitable entertainment accorded them. The work was pronounced to be the “best ever” and the occasion will be most happily remembered by all who at­ tended from this city. These words from an exchange are good words for every young man to read: Speaking of tbe<way young men and boys speak of girl acquaintances, they should be very careful in this line. The first lesson any young man should learn is to ever defend a lady, and never by word or sign or act reflect upon her character. If he does not personally know anything affecting her moral character, he has no business to repeat what he has beard. If he does know anything he is a scoundrel to mention it, unless it is a place where a woman publicly degrades herself. A girl’s character is her life, and the first and highest duty of a young man is to ever defend her and never listen to er repeat any derogatory reports to any Groceries The nrreent fail has been an un­ usually favorable one for dahlias, salvias and other late fall flowers.

Mr. Barry has only been on the work three months and his run is one of the hard­ est ones in the service. The placing of a new man in such an important posi­ tion is quite unusual and speaks vol­ umes for Mr. Barry’s ability. The many Masons of Barry county will be pained to learn of the death of Hon. Arthur W. Clark, past Grand Master of the Grand Lodge of Michi­ gan, F. &. A. M. and past Grand Lect­ urer, which occurred at his home in Lexington, Mich., Tuesday. Deceased visited xthis county many times in con­ nection with Masonic work, his ability and genial manners commanding the respect and winning the friendship of hosts of friends. He was probably tbe best known Mason and one of the best known men in Michigan. The funeral will be held at two o’clock this after­ noon at his home. totoJO Delton, Oct. 17,1W3- ADDITIONAL LOCAL.

It is not usual to speak much of peo Sle while they yet live, but my admiraon of this man and this woman for what they have done for me has led to this public letter to our friends who have known us these many years. I have met many men and women of wide influence and of more than na tioual repute, but none have influenced me or made difficult duties possible as have these two now growing old to­ gether. for L remember as If it were but yesterday “Work while vou work and play while you play ” “Do nothing you would be ashamed of,” “Do right because it is right lo do right," “Al ways keep your word good;" these made up the bulk of the instruction as to how to enter the world and do its work among men, but it has availed better than they knew, for it has helped over many a doubtful if not dangerous place where certainty became impo&n ble and faith was the only guide. And bo it is that 1 would say a word of pub­ lic acknowledgment in justice to these that I love and for the encouragement of other parents of other children, for nothing is so lasting as early influence. I choose this time to speak of these things t^eoause there will never be but one other fitting opportunity which please God is yet a long way off.

A short time before he was hurt some freight cars had been derailed at Sum mit. near Howell, Livingston county, one of the cars, it is claimed, veering over to such an extent that It came within a foot or so from touching pass­ ing trains.

He then looked back and as he turned bls head it came in contact with the box car with such force as to pull him out of the cab and injuring him seriously, as the train was going at the rate of about eighteen miles per hour, it is said.

ELANNERY ElEW OVER THE “FARMER SHED” FENCE AND SKIPPED. While Marshall Rork Confidingly Awaited His Return After ••Seeinga Man.” Last week the Banner noted the arrest of Dau Flannery, a misguided typo, for drunkenness. Daniel was brought forth from the lion’s den Thursday to face stern justice. Daniel appealed to the sympathy of Marshal Rork in true double-column display style, and knew that be had friends who would come to his assist­ ance in his hour of trouble. The accommodating official started out with him upon a triumphal tour of the city to intercede with friends. First someone at Rorabeck's sheds was inter­ viewed but “nit.” Then other friends were sought but all of them were stone hearted. Along about 11 o’clock in the fore­ noon the Marshal found himself up near the school house with his charge and Flannery suggested another visit to the Farmer's sheds to isee Mr. Rorabeck’s son. Just as they entered the big driveway to the sheds Flannery spied the man he wanted Just going around the shed and took after him. Not wishing to be present to hear the heart-rending appeal from a friend in need the Marshal stood guard at the gate. In the meantime Flannery jumped over the back fejice and was doubtless well on his way to his home in Cedar Creek, when Marshal Rork tumbled to the fact that the heart to heart talk was quite extended. When he went to remind the prisoner that the dinner hour was approaching he dis­ covered that Flannery had basely vio­ lated the confidence reposed in him and had skipped. Jost what will be done in the case is not known, bnt it is safe to say that in the bright lexicon of official confidence the name of Flannery is totally erased, as far as Marshal Rork is concerned at least In Ohio, Herrick, republican, will be elected governor by a plurality of over 100,(XX). and Mark Hanna will have a majority of at least 100 on joint ballot in the legislature, which will as­ sure his re-election to the Senate. The spectacular campaign of Tom John­ son didn^ avail him much, as he was overwhelmingly turned town. His de­ feat will put him out of the race as a presidential possibility. In New York City the corrupt Tam­ many organization is again placed in power, George B. McClellan, the Tam many candidate, defeating Seth Low for mayor by 60,000. Voters were urged to support Low because he had given the city a business like administration, and had done much to stamp out the “red-light evil” of the east side. Mc­ Lellan s election was urged by demo­ crats because it would mean a “wide open town.” The campaign was one of the hottest ever known in the his­ tory of the city. In Massachusetts Bates, rep, was elected and the legislature will be strongly republican. Beckham is re-elected governor of_ Kentucky by a plurality of 12,0ft) to 15,000. 1 In Nebraska the rusionists made some gains, but the result not yet known. t Both parties claim a majority of the house of the Assembly in New Jersey. Justice of the Supreme Court was the only ofiicial to be elected in Colo­ rado this year, and both parties claim victory. It will be close. Republicans swept everything in Iowa as usual. MARRIED.

CRANDALL OF THE BAPTIST CHURCH OF THIS CITV Ordination Services Held at the Bap-, list Church Tuesday Evening. Large Number were Present. Tuesday evening Rev. S. B. Crandall was regularly ordained as a minister of the Baptist church, the ceremonies con. nected with the same being very im-, presaive. Tuesday afternoon the Grand Conn, cil of the Grand Rapids Association, composed of delegates from the var­ ious churches of the association, met at the Baptist church and after an ex­ amination of the candidate for the ministry recommended that he be or­ dained. In the evening Dr. H. L. Stetson, of Kalamazoo College, delivered the ordL nation sermon, which was a very able one and commanded the close attention of the large number present. This was followed by the very im­ pressive ordination prayer by Rev. J, E. Platt, of Oakfield. The “right hand of fellowship” waa. extended by Rev. J. O. Dean, of Mid­ dleville, who in appropriate words wel­ comed Rev. Crandall to the ministry. The “charge to the candidate” was delivered by Rev. Joshua Roberts, pas­ tor of the Second Baptist Church, of Grand Rapids, who gave some good wholesome advice, which should be very helpfuk The charge to the church was given by Rev. George Rowe, of Paris, Kent Co., telling the membership how it can be of great help te the pastor in build­ ing up the church. Benediction was offered by Rev, Crandall. Ope of the pleasing features of the evening was the splendid music which was under the direction of Mrs. Archie McCoy. The Baptist church of this city has a membership of 66. The members can count themselves very fortunate in se­ curing a man of such splendid attain­ ments, as Rev. Crandall possesses, for their pastor, and under his charge the church will doubtless flourish. Tbe most dellgb' ful social event of the season to occur in Hastings town­ ship was the wedding of Miss Jennie Brown to Mr. Fred Barry, which oc­ curred at the home of the bride’s par­ ents, Mr. and Mrs. James Brown, Wednesday evening, Oct. 28. The rooms of their pretty country residence were handsomely decorated for the occasion, the dining room in green and red with red carnations, the sitting room in pink and green with pink carnations, and the parlor in pink and white with white carnations. Promptly at 7:30 o’clock, to the i strains of the wedding march played by Miss Nora Andrus, the bridal party descended th<^ stairs, Master Richard Mead gracefully strewing the way with roses. Chas. Brown, brother of the bride acted as groomsman and Julia Barry, sister of the groom, as brides­ maid, Milow Barry was best man and Anna Brown, maid of honor. Arthur and Nettie Barry, Roland Barry and Pearl Kennedy, Andrew Kennedy and Winnie Johnson were the ribbon bearers. The ceremony was performed by Rev. Cheney of Hickory Corners. The bride wore a beautiful gown of cream peau de sol with pearl trimmings and carried bride’s roses. The brides­ maid was gowned in cream crepe and carried pink roses. The maid of honor wore old rose. Over one hundred guests were pres­ ent to witness the ceremony and ex­ tend congratulations. Following the congratulations an elegant four course dinner was served. The wedding gifts were not only handsome and valuable, Church aad Society. but were equally as useful The happy Regular monthly meeting ot toe W. young couple will go to housekeeping P. M.

Don’t n effect io nae IL One of the most remarkable finds of gigantic human remains of which we have any record was that made at Dalermo. IJIcily. in the year 1516. when an entire skeleton of unheard of propor­ tions was unearthed by some marble quarry men. These mammoth remains measured exactly 34 feet from heqd to foot and 9 feet 7 inches from point to point of the shoulders. A stone ax buried with this old time giant may still be seen at Palermo in section ”Z” of the St Isorent museum. It is made of a bluish looking, fine grained bowl­ der and appears to be about 2 feet 8 inches long by 1 foot broad and 9 inches through In the- thickest place. A musty, rusty looking tag attached to the relic informs the visitor that it weighs fifty-two pounds, but the gen­ eral verdict is that It could not weigh over thirty or thirty-five pounds. The skeleton was burned by a mob in the year 1662, during the prevalence of the black death at Palermo, the ignorant superstitious people believing that It was connected in some mysteri­ ous way with the death dealing dis­ temper. The skull of this giant, ac­ cording to Abbe Ferregus. “was largely excessive of the baskets sayd to hold . the bushel, being fitted above and belowe withe teeth to the number of sixty-foure, the each of which would have weighed two ounces.” Cavalier Scroy claimed to have found a skull on Tene­ rife that had sixty teeth. "I proposed to Miss Gladys Beautlglrl last night.” “Ah! And she accepted you?’ “Well, no-o-o, not exactly, but she came so near doing so that a great deal of the sting was taken out of her re­ fusal. She said she would have ac­ cepted me if I had had plenty of mon­ ey and a perfect disposition, and my eyes were brown Instead of blue, and my hair curly, aud I was two inches taller, and was winning fame.in my profession, and possessed personal magnetism, and came of an old and blue blooded family, aud would always let her have her own way. and never smoked or wanted to stay out late at night, and did not* belong to any lodge, and would keep a stylish turnout and plenty of servants, and really wanted her mamma to live with us, and a few other things which I have forgotten. But if a fellow must fall In an under­ taking It is encouraging to him to think that he came very near winning.” All the world knows how Columbus on a ^historic occasion made an egg stand on end. After many learned theories had been advanced for bal­ ancing the egg he set the egg on end by, of course, mashing down hard enough to form a base, but the prob­ lem is dapable of still another solution. It Is an easy matter to set an egg on a plate, for Instance. If you know how. The trick Is Impossible until the egg has been bolkd In an upright position. The position of the hardened yoke at the end of the shell lowers the center of gravity until the sphere can be spun or even balanced with ease. Pottsville, Pa., Nov. 3.—Worked Into a frenzy as a result of an aile-ca tlon with one of his brothers, Benja min Franklin Welssinger, living on a farm several miles from this city, Mon­ day afternoon shot and killed his two brothers, attempted to kill his sis’.zr and a sister-in-law and held a large posse of policemen at bay for nine hours before he was captured. The tragedy occurred on a [aria of the father of the men. The dead men are Louis Welssinger, aged years, single, and Frederick, aged 25, who leaves a widow. The fratracide is 45 years old. Benjamin and Frederick had a quar­ rel early in the afternoon over uc cleaning of a horse. During the al­ tercation Benjamin fired four shol> at Fred without any of them taking ef­ fect Frederick fled to the attic of the farmhouse and was followed into the house by the enraged brother. The latter secured a Winchester re­ peating rifle and as he was leaving the house he encountered another brother, Louis, at the kitchen door. Without a word ot warning, Benjamin fired it Louis, the bullet striking him in the side. The victim fell unconscious and died In half an hour, without uttering a word. The murderer then walked down a path and caught a glimpse of Frederick, vho was looking out of the attic window. Benjamin raised ms rifle and fired. The bullet entered Frederick’s cheek and penetrated the brain. He fell dead across the window sill. His wife, who had gone to the attic with him, attempted to drag .he body into the room. She succeeded m thia, but not before Benjamin had fired several shots at her. without effect. The double murderer’s attention was then attracted to his sister Mary, who had come out of the house to persuade him from doing any more shooting. She persisted so strongly that he turned his rifle upon her and fired twice, but his alm was bad. The young woman escaped into the house. Benjamin then barricaded himself in the barn. The women of the house notified neighbors, who in turn sum­ moned police assistance from this city. Every attempt made to approach the barn was met with several shots from Welssinger. A parley was held with the murderer and he agreed to let the two farm hands bring him ms supper. The men were Instructed to watch their opportunity and seize him by the arms. This they did and he was captured. Welssinger Is believed to be insane. U. 8. STANDS NEUTRAL. Refuses to I end Aid to China In Russlan Affair. Washington, Nov. 3.—Sir Liang Cheng, the Chinese minister United States, Monday visited the state department in thin Interests of his country, soliciting information a« to the exact attitude of this nation with respect to Russia’s seeming non­ conformity to agreements made rela tlve to Manchuria, and urging that the United States take steps to aid China to enforce Russia to live up to agree­ ments. Immediately after his visit to the state department Sir Liang cabled to Pekin the answer of Secretary Hay to China’s appeal for assistance In check­ ing Russia in Manchuria The Pekin authorities are aware by thia time that until the ratification of the AmericanChinese treaty, which was signed on Oct. 8, pledging to the world the open­ ing of Mukden and Ahtung, it will be Impossible for this government.

New York, Nov. 2.—Sensational alle.atlons of wilful misstatement, falsifi­ cation, swindling and fraud in the or;anization and flotation of United States Shipbuilding company of at­ tempts to mislead and deceive the in­ vesting public by erroneous prospectus statements and of a deliberate plan to, , wreck the company by withholding the* earnings of the Bethlehem Steel com­ pany are contained in the report ol Receiver James Smith, Jr., of the United States Shipbuilding company just made public here.

It was almost certain to happen that way In a regiment going into action for the first time. The officers were raw and the men were raw. After five or six men of Company B had been kllled the remainder of the hundred bud­ dled together like frightened sheep for a moment aud then turned their backs to the foe and bolted from' the field. Had the men been veterans there might have been a bit of confusion as the fire got too hot, but there would have been no running away. Had the officers been veterans the company would not have been stood up there to furnish target practice to the enemy. A pitiful thing followed. Company B was branded with cowardice in the face of the enemy. There were over plnety men left, stalwart fellows from the pine woods and forest streams, who had worked alongside danger al! their lives, and now they were J snubbed, even by the company teamsters and the sutler's clerks, They muttered and cursed and shed tears, but the stigma had been put upon . them, and they had to bear it. A citi­ zen may be dubbed a coward for not resenting an insult, but he can plead a dozen excuses. Not so a soldier, how­ ever. He is In the ranks to fight, and fight be must or become an object of contempt. Company B cursed and muttered and waited. There would be other battles, and their time would come. Three months later they went into action, with the company banner leading the way and every man singing a war song, and for a quarter of an hour they were heroes. What happened all of a sudden no man could afterward tell. Perhaps it was the screams of men as they were hit, or a section of a battery galloping through the line, or it might have been some blunderlug order on the part of th£ officers. No matter what it was, the results were lamentably. Company B bolted again, and the other men cried. “Yah, yah!” in contempt as the panic stricken lum­ bermen fell back. They had fought of Dynamlt, Exploded at Crestline, Ohio. Crestline, O., Nov. 2.—Crestline and vicinity was thrown into a panic lut night by a terrible explosion at S o’clock.

Nov. 2.—Twenty-one men, three women and a ten-monthsold babe were burned td death-or suf­ focated in a fire that started early Sunday morning in the House of All Nations, a five-story tenement house at No. 426 Eleventh avenue, and which the police and coroner believe to have! been of incendiary origin. The dead are mostly Italians. The fire had been burning for some' minutes before it was discovered. It had started in the basement and, rush­ ing upward, had attacked the stairway leading to the apartments. In a short space of time the flames had so en­ veloped the stairway that egress from the building by it was impossible. TLe house from the third to the fifth floor was entirely destroyed. At the windows, front and rear, bodies of men and women were jammed, showing that a desperate struggle to get free had resulted m the complete choking of these exits to the fire escapes and had been the cause of a number of the Inmates beIng suffocated. ».

The secret of health, as every Intelli­ gent physician knows, is free and full circulation of the blood, and this circu­ lation ia dependent absolutely on thor­ ough oxygenation. In many cases where erroneous habits, of living, have been so long continued that congesrion has become chronic in one shape or an­ other—obesity. gout, rheumatism, con­ stipation or tuberculosis having camped in the system aud crippled it— the patient Is not apt to be in a condi­ tion in readily assimilate a sufficient quan y of oxygen direct from the at­ mosphere. The breathing apparatus must first be properly developed, so that the patient shall be able to grad­ ually Increase tbe srpply cf air to the system, until at las: he recovers the normal power of deep breathing. With* the building up of the lungs through proper breathing there is a metabolism of all the tissues and or­ gans, so that, for most men, breathing exercises are more important than any mere muscular exercise. Not only the lungs, but all the internal organs are brought into play by correct breathing. It develops the heart, stomach, liver and kidneys directly and Indirectly and nourishes all these organs as they should be.nourished by more blood and better blood In constant and regular •circulation. Breathing, therefore, is a sovereign remedy for our national dis­ ease of nervous depletion. It might well replace the countless tonics, stim­ ulants and anodynes now so commonly resorted to. where results are nothing less than tragic In thousands of cases. —Maurice Manning, M. D., In Vim. Mobammrs<lam and Pljcw. A recent traveler in Somaliland gives the following curious incident show­ ing the Mohammedan hatred for pigs: “We shot two wart hogs, one a partic­ ularly big boar. Alan wished to keep the tusks, but of course none of the Somalis would touch the unclean ani­ mal. At Inst a bribe of 2 rupees in­ duced the Mldgan woman to chop the tusks out with a hatchet Even then she would not touch them and with the help of two sticks, which she used like a pair of tongs, put them ou a can:el. Then there was a long dispute about the hatchet. No one would touch it It hud been defiled. Of course this was pure affectation and playing to the gallery on the ayah’s part At home with her native tribe she would have gorged all the pig she could get But it flattered the Somalis, and we march­ ed off, the ayah holding the hatchet at arm’s length as if it were going to bite her.” Any one who carries about a four leaved clover will be lucky and will have the power of discovering ghosts or evil spirits. With It under the pil­ low tbe lover may insure dreams ot the beloved one. A fragment “tn the shoe of a traveler Insures a safe jour­ ney. Of the five leaved clover it Is de­ clared that if it be worn on the left side of a maiden's dress or fastened behind the hall door the Christian name of the first man who enters will be tbe same as that of the future bus­ band. The power of the four leaved shamrock for good is familiar to all, from Lover’s once popular and pretty song, the speaker in which pictures what she would do should she find tbe magic plant: I would play tho enchanter's part and scatter bliss around. And not a tear or aching heart should In the world be found. —London Globe. You can’t punish a mob unless you punish it while it is a mob. A man is not the same man while he is in a mob ; as he is while he is an individual, and this is one reason why it is so difficult ever to punish and individual for what he did ns a part of a mob. This dis­ tinction is not fanciful; it is a real dif­ ference, and public sentiment and pros­ ecuting officers and juries recognise it, whether they know it or not. For this reason it is generally useless to hope for the punishment of men after a mob has dispersed.—World's Work. Our own opinion, which we have fre­ quently set forth, is that alcoholic bev­ erages are of value In certain forms of disease and that their value depends not so much upon the alcohol, but upon tho ’ vliwus ethers which these bever­ ages contain or should contain. No medical man doubts that intemperance in alcohol is an appalling factor in the spread of crime, disease and poverty, and it Is undoubtedly the duty of the medical profession to endeavor to stay the curse of drink by every means in its power.—London Lancet Shortly before Napoleon III. appro­ priated the vacant throne of France he one day asked a great lady to expiate th? difference between “an accident” and “a misfortune.” “If.” she said, pyou were to fall into the Seine, that would be an accident; if they pulled you out again, that would be a misfortune." . “Don’t yon think you’d better speak to papa tonight, George?" the girl sug­ gested. “He’s just come in, hasn’t he?" naked George. “WH1, I think I ll give him time to get his slippers on."—Chicago Port. “So Mtstah Erast us Pinkney is gwine to git married.” said the coffee colored youth with the targe scarfpln.

It wouldn’t be anything in tbe nature of. a “pink lemonade” in­ vestment, but is something that will be useful for years and often referred to. It gives the name of every farmer in Barry county, shows the number of acres each farmer owns, shows all the highways, schools, churches, railroads and all rural routes iu operation up to Feb. 1, ’03. All the townships are printed in tinted colors, every section being shown. The map is 44 x 48 inches in size and a very handy refer­ ence chart. All of the linen maps are -sold. We have a number of paper maps, bound with linen along the edges, that we are selling for 75 cents to close them out. The former price was S1.50. Money back any time with­ in thirty days after purchase, if you are not satisfied, and the map is re­ turned in good condition.

Send 75 cents in addition to the amount due us on subscription and we will mail you one of the Banner maps and prepay postage on same. Whose Plant* DM. Many people who are interested in growing asters, but have been troubled by having their plants wilt and die, will be glad to know the trouble which is explained in a letter in answer to In­ quiries made of the United States Bu­ reau of Plant Industry Investigation. The investigation showed the plants were suffering with a fungus, which is caused by the condition of the soil When the plants are attacked they turn yellow and later die, and oftentimes they are tn full bloom when this hap­ pens. The only way to prevent the spread of the disease is to pull up the plants which show signs of wilt. The fungus lives in the soil and asters cannot be successfully planted in the same bed another year, but other flowers can be planted there. There is no remedy fo the disease, as it begins with the roots and goes up on tbe inside of the stem. “All you can do is to pull up your asters and plant somewhere else anoth­ er year,’’ is the advice given. There waa scarcely a bed of asters in Has­ tings this year but what suffered from the fungus mentioned above. And it is for the beneflt of the growers of this beautiful fall flower we print the above. Celebrated Their Golden Wedding. Thursday afternoon and evening will be delightfully remembered by Mr. and Mrs. James Cutler of the second ward, being the 50th anniversary of their mar­ riage. In honor of tbe event their chil­ dren planned a celebration of the day, and the afternoon was given up to a pleasant family gathering with all of the pleasant associations that such occa­ sions mean. In the evening Fitzgerald Post and the Woman’s Relief Corps proposed to show the honored couple that the day had not been forgotten by them, as Mr. C. is a member of the Post and Mrs. C. of the W. R. C. The eve­ ning was delightfully spent. In behalf of the Post Hiram Jones presented the couple with a beautiful chair, and Mrs. Jones, in behalf of tbe W. IL C. pre sented them with a set of silver table spoons. TbAMdra) also pre­ sented the father with a pair of gold spectacles and the mother with a beautiful gold watch. Among the children present were Carroll Cutler; Mre. Henry Althouse; Mre. Will Mont gomery; Rev. Charles Cutler, of Kind­ erhook, Branch Co., Mre. Carveth Skillman, of Middleville.

If city people will not monopolize the beet seats at the Opera House for the coming course of lectures perhaps we country folk would like a few tickets out this way. [For the benefit of our correspondent aud others, we will say that reserved seats will doubtless be sold for the Lecture Course this year, the same as iu the past, for ten cents each. This will assure those coming from a distance that they will have a good seat. Reserved seats will be § laced on sale commencing next Mon­ ey morning, and we believe that those who attend to having seats reserved that dav will have no trouble in getting good seats. We know that the com mittee having thia in charge mean to be absolutely impartial, aud the same consideration will be given those from out of town as those living in the city.

It was on one of these nights that Scharf decided on a chance! rehearsal. But when, after the intermission, he called ’’Places.” Betty was loath to leave her shadowy corner. “Let’s not go.” site said begulllngly. and Jack Dudley was only too wiling to agree. "But we must sit on the door,” she decided. "Mr. Scharf might see." “Ob, bang Scharf." began Dudley, but a warm hand seized bls persuasive­ ly. and again he yielded. * "It’s fun to be naughty sometimes, said Betty. She was kneeling in the rear aisle, and as the choir began to wrestle with an anthem she raised the Bp of her inquisitive nose above the high carved back of the last pew. But she docked with a sharp exclamation. "What’s up?" asked Jack Dudley zood naturedly. He found Miss Betty S delicious partner In crime, especially when she seized his hand in that frightened way. He almost wishedabe would get a thorough sjsare—who knows what she might dol/ > "They’re singing without an accom­ Haul Betty tveiry In in an intense paniment.” said •nod Mr. Setuirf l« walking I whisper.

Here Betty turned a vivid scarlet and snatched her hand away rom Jack. “I must request that you Doth take your places in the chanceL" And be turned on his heel. Something of the cool contempt in hia tone seemed to rob the two of bra­ vado. for they followed him meekly up the aisle. * To Betty the rest of the rehearsal seemed Interminable. She refused to accept the messages of comfort which Jack’s eyes telegraphed her. She hated him. He bad made her ridiculous, con­ temptible. In Paul Scharf’s eyes. This was the end of her Lenten penitence* 1 Of course she must leave the choir to­ night. . And so the astonished Jack went home alone, while Betty waited to brave her fate. Paul Scharf closed the keyboard, with a sigh. "Betty”— Quick as the thought her face smiled up at him. Beneath her aureole of hair her eyes met Ms challcngingly. He could almoat feel her wnnn breath on his cheek. “Was I ro very naughty. Paul?" she breathed. Ah. If he might lean over and kiss those tempting lips! But he drew him­ self stlflly erect ns he answered grave­ ly. “You set a very bad example to the rest ot the choir. Miss Carew." She flushed an angry red. "I will re­ move the example by resigning." she said proudly. "That must be as you und Mr. Dud­ ley decide.’’ .There wns a sting In the words. And then Betty put her head down on the keyboard and cried. Oh. clever Betty! She hnd played coquetry and deflnnw In vain. But this trump card, helphwneiu*—she played It and won. Was Uris the relentless Judge, the Impiai-ubh* choir master, who calted her Betty and l»csongbt her not to cry? "I was a brute to speak to you so. Betty/' |» ‘ declared' n-morxcfuHy. "I’ve bev:i a fool all along. But you’ll for­ give me. dearest?" He tried to catch a glimpse of her face. TberFltetty smiled up nt him through her tears, the old churnring Betty, but with a new humility In her eyes. “1 .will.’’ she said softly, “just for a Lent­ en penitence." ♦ But when she felt bis arms around her and kisses on her lips Ix*nt was forgotten and love reigned supreme. But she bad caught the break before her name. Ah, be remembered when it bad been not Miss Carew, but Betty! Three weeks was short for forgetting. She flashed her glorious smile full up­ on him ’•Perhaps lint’s |>enitences will blot out the sins of other, days.” I she ventured boldly. . He looked down at her searchingiy. Was there not a note of earnestness underlying her flippancy? But, as he hesitated, Betty, piqued by bls unresponsive mood, ttiroed her back upon him. Her slight figure was drawn up to its fullest height as she walked Into the choir room. Passion had swept away penitence. The others bad already gathered. Their reception wns in flattering con­ trast to the one Just accorded her. Jack Dudley was assuring her of his delight when the young organist took his seat at the piano. "To your places, please." he said courteously. But Betty chose to con­ sider it in the light of a reprimand, and her blue eyes flashed defiance. During the Intermission, when the others walked and talked up and down the long aisles of the church. Betty and Jack Dudley preferred to sit in a shad­ owy corner. The girl flirted, flirted de­ liberately. But deep down In her heart there wns an ache. Lenten sacrifices were bard In the making. I The rehearsal^ came and went* Betty Carew's sweet, high soprano led all the rest And In its varying cadences the quick ear of the choir master could read the mood of the girl, whether it be frivolous or penitent But there were other signs. When she was penitent she would have naught of badinage. Paul Scharf would play then as if in answer to her need. And she sat in the remotest comer of the chancel and lis tened with rapt face. But when she was frivolous she flirted, flirted outra­ geously. to the scandal of the choir and the undoing of its masculine mem- — J<ck D“diey took her band The barber drew the keen raxor over his customer’s face und begnn: ”A friend of mine told me the best fish story I ever heard in my life while he was getting shaved the other day. Want to hear It? All right. You see. It concerns a physician who had a friend who was daffy over fish, and be used to try all kinds of queer experiments with them. One, time the friend * told the physician that If you took a fish and kept it out of water every day. Increasing the time each day. you’d soon have the fish so that it wouldn’t have to be In the water nt all. Well, the Idea sounded reasonable to the physician, so he went and bought a large shad. He put it In an aquarium, and every day be took It out of the water and put It on the floor. The flrst duy be only allowed It to stay out for thirty seconds, but every day he in creased the time until Anally the shad didn’t need any water nt all to live in. “Well, one rainy night the physician wns sitting in his study teaching the shad to smoke a cigar when the tele­ phone bell rang, and after answering It the physician prepared to go out on a hurry call. He ordered bls'carriage, and when It appeared at the door he went out. the shad following him. It was mining hard, aud a perfect torren.t of water was flowing down the gutters. The shad attempted to get iu the carriage, but slipped and fell Into the gutter und was drowned. Ob, I’m sorry I cut you. sir. But you couldn’t help smiling then, could you?”—Phila­ delphia Press. Is it a fact that certain hours of the twenty-four which form a day are more fatal to life than the rest? Is the popular belief that deaths occur at any particular moment more than any Others founded on fact? A solution of this question has been attempted by a physician who, having set down in writing the exact time of the deaths of 2,880 persons of all ages, among a mixed population and extending over many years, easily perceived that the most fatal hour was between 5 and 0 o’clock in the morning. On the other hand, the minimum was between 9 and 11 o’clock, also In the morning. The mortality at the flrst named hour was 40 per cent above the average; to the second OH per cent below it. Between 10 and 2 o’clock during the day the mortality was not high. The most fa­ tal hours were between 3 and 0 o’clock in the morning. The fact is therefore proved there are fatal hours. Why? The explanation is easy. In fact, the statistics of 5,000 to 0.000 deaths col lected by Mr. Haviland and laid be­ fore the British Medical association In 1864 showed that In the great majority of cases death supervened between 1 o’clock and 8 o’clock In the morning and that the minimum number occur red between 1 o’clock In the afternoon and midnight: hence- the practical d<«»••»••••«................. • , duction that death moot frequent, happens ’nt a time when, generally speaking, the •owklnx. tlie sick are nrttber neither fed nor .looked. after: .__ .______ hence,.la. alao. the ♦htoT-nrwmtherapende deduction that tboee tic thoae wto who uiffer suffer should be watched uuc.slngly. hew borax reduces weight. Dr. Harvey W. Wiley, chief chemist of the department of agriculture, who has been making practical tests the effects Uj>on human beings of chem­ ical preser-ativea of food, nays of borax and bora de adds that the use of these preservative® in food dimin­ ishes the natural weight of the human, and that persons consuming such food will not return at once to their former weight when the experiments are stopped, and. second, that the use of borax tends to reduce the amount of Bltrogen in the human body, and that the volume of nitrogen will not again return to that existing before the ex­ periments. The facts were given by Dr. Wiley in an address before, the National As­ sociation of Food Commissioners. Fur­ ther summing up the results of his work he said: “Foods can be preserved for a reasonabie length of time in most clrcum3tsnces without resorting to any chem­ ical preservative or added pre* .• .stive of any kind. Simple sterilization, which can be applied to most foods, is most effective and tbd least objectionable all forms of food preservation. There may be occasions of emergency or exi­ gency In which the use of a chemical preservative Is rendered imperative. “It may be a wise policy not to In­ augurate absolute prohibition against all preservatives, but It Is certainly true that wherever for any reason a preservative must be used the package of food containing it should be dearly marked.” A WONDERFUL LIQUID. An engineer of Munich gave i mtly a demonstr <tlon of the effective 18 Of a new preparation for exting„hlng fires. The trials. It is reported, were successful. The preparation Is a liquid of a milky color. The flrst experiment showed that the skin when painted with the liquid becomes insensible to heat. Bags saturated with petroleum can be burned upon the hand after It has been Immersed in the liquid. Small fires cun Qo extinguished with the hands, and with one pailful of the liquid a fire in a pit of tar was put out In a second. The tat;, even after pe­ troleum had been poured over It, could not be again ignited. as the liquid forced a thin, unmeltable crust which completely extinguished in twelve sec­ onds with a little more than twelve gallons of the liquid. Small quantities of the preparation' are sufficient for extinguishing pur­ poses. so that the damages produced by water are avoided. The price of the liquid is about 75 cents a quart.

C., Nov. 10.—Presl dent Roosevelt's message to congress which he has assembled in extraor dlnary session, was read in bott houses today at noon. The communication 'is an excep tlonally short one and reads as fol lows: To the Senate and House of Rtepre sentatlves: I have convened the congress that II may consider the legislation necessarj to put into operation the commercla treaty with Cuba, which was ratiflec by the senate at its last session, one subsequently by the Cuban govern ment. I deem such legislation de manded not only by our Interest, but by our honor. We cannot with pro priety abandon the course upon whict we have so wisely embarked. Wher the aiflfcptance of the Platt amend ment was required from Cuba by th< action of the congress of the United States, this government thereby defl nitoly committed itself to the policj of treating Cuba as occupying a unlqu* position as regards this country. It was provided that when the Island be came a free and independent republic she should stand in such close rela tions with us as in certain respects tc come within our svstem of Interna ttonal policy; and it necessarily fol lowed that she must also to a certair degree become included within the lines of our economic policy. Situated as Cuba is, it would not be possible for this country to permit the strategic abuse of the island by any foreign mil Itary power. For Cuba’s Protection. It is for this reason that certain Um Itations have been imposed upon hei financial policy, and that naval sta tions have been conceded by her to the United States.1- The negotiations as tc the details of these naval stations art so situated as to prevent any Idea that there is the intention ever to use then against Cuba, or otherwise than foi the protection of Cuba from the as saults of foreign foes, and for the’ bet ter safeguarding of American inter eats in the waters south of us. These interests have been largely increased by the consequences of th< war with Spain, and will be still fur ther increased by the building of the isthmian canal. They are both mill tary and economic. The granting tc us by Cuba of the naval stations above alluded to is of the utmost importance from a military standpoint, and it proof of the good faith with which Cuba is treating us. Cuba has made great progress since her independence was established. She has advance*! steadily in every way. She alreadj stands high F ~iong her sister republic? of the new world. She is loyally ob serving her obligations to us and she is entitled to like treatment by us. The treaty submitted to you for ap proval secures to the United Statee economic advantages as great as those given to Cuba. Not an-American in­ terest is sacrificed. By the treaty s large Cuban market is secured to out producers. It is a market which Hee at our doors, which is already large which is capable of great expansion and which is especially Important t^ the development of our expprt trade It would be Indeed shortsighted foi us to refuse to take advantage of such an opportunity, and to force Cuba lute making arrangements with other coun tries to our disadvantage. Harms No Industry. This reciprocity treaty stands by it­ self. It is demanded on consideration? of broad national policy, as well as by our economic interest It will do harm to no industry. It will benefit many industries. It is in the Interest of out people as a whole, both because of its importance from the broad standpoint of international policy And because economically it intimately concerns us to develop and secure the rich Cuban market for our farmers, artisans, mer­ chants and manufacturers. Finally, Jt is desirabl* as a guaranty of the good faith of our nation toward her young sister republic to the south, whose wel­ fare must ever be closely bound with ours. We gave her liberty. We are knit to her by the memories ot the blood and the courage of our soldiers who fought for her in the war; by the memories of the wisdom and integrity, of our administrators, who served her In peace and who started her so well on the difficult path of self-govern­ ment. Ws must help her onward and upward; and in helping her we shall help ourselves. The foregoing considerations caused the negotiation of the treaty with Cuba and its ratification by the senate. They now, with equal force, support the legislation by the congress which by the terms of the treaty is necessary to render it operative. A failure to enact such legislation would come perilously near a repudiation of the pledged faith of the nation. I transmit herewith the treaty, as attnended by the senate and ratified by the Cuban government . THEODORE ROOSEVELT. d Paracamph FOR SALE BY W. H.

It chose a speaker, clerk and president from among its number. The various states were represented by the members of the club. National bills were intro­ duced, debated and voted upon. We all tried to make ourselves famous in tbe House and in this way we learned very much about national questions then before the country. As soon as the foot ball season is ended we hope to again organize the club and trust to receive the support of all. I The foot-ball game between Gales­ burg and Hastings at the fair grounds last Saturday resulted in a victory for the home team. Score 16 to 0, Al­ though the visiting team w^s some tbe heaviest, nevertheless their fumbles and'apparent lack of practice cost them the game. Our team fumbled but little, all agreeing that it was their best played game df the season.

In the matter of the late trial in the circuit court between Thomas Hay­ ward and School District No. Nine, I would like to say this from my own personal knowledge. A man hy the name of Wm. Doonan owed the dis­ trict 8100 before the old school house was built. He paid Abraham Hay­ ward >25 in work for the lease which Mr. Hayward acknowledged in my presence. At the annual school meetting soon after the voters preeent, or a majority, became satisfied that Mr. Doonan had paid the lull 8100 and voted to give up tbe note for same, which was in the hands of the Moder­ ator, Stephen Sprague. The latter re fused to give up the note and Mr. Doonan forbade Mr. Hayward giving up the lease until he got his note. The lease never was signed by either party and the district was ignorant of any lease having been drawn up. It seems that the district is obliged to pay a pretty big price for the old shell. L. H.

Why We Will Not Have Hard Times. It is undeniable that business condi­ tions In the last six months have not changed for tbe better. It must be ad­ mitted that there is depression in cer­ tain industries and that there has been, «t times, a lack of confidence in flnanxilal circles that under favorable condi­ tions would have bred panics. It is true that merchants are talking of dull trade and manufacturers of the natural 'depreMion that follows a period of ab­ normal activity and overproduction. It is not true, however, that these things are necessarily the forerunners Wf a period of downright hard times. A period of depression does not lead, necessarily, to hard times. It does not follow that because some manufactur­ ing plants have been closed, and bewause trade is not as active as it was three’years ago, and because the stock market is subject to greater fluctuations than it was a year ago, that all mills -are to dose; that hundreds of thousands wf workingmen are to be thrown out of waaployment; that trade is to be^paralyzW, and that the conditions of the hard time? of 1894 and 1896 are to prevail this year or next year. Actual conditions iu the country are against the return of hard times. We •have more producers and more conaamers. In the last seven years our ^population has Increased from 70.254,’•W to 79,000,000. There are in round ■ambers 10,000,000 more consumers and feroducers, more workers and purchas­ es. than there were seven years ago. In five years the wealth of the nation lias increased from $77,000,000,000 to >94,000,000,000. In the same time the money in the country has increased trom $1,506,434,000 to $2,249,390,000. This is money on a gold basis, subject to no discount A dollar is a dollar to wvery man. No depreciation is possible. In seven years our exports have in’’creased from $882,606,000 to $1,381,719, tot. This indicates a constantly in­ creasing foreign demand for our manu­ facturing and farm products. In ten Years our farms have increased in num tor from 4,564,641 to 5,739,657, and tbe ■farm products have increased in value Yrorn $2,460,107,000 to $3,764,177,000. As long as there is a foreign demand tor our products with a constantly in­ creasing home consumption, there must to profitable employment for workers activity in manufacturing, opportunity for safe investment and general condiOwns absolutely prohibitive of downcight hard times.—Chleaqo Inter Ocean If any man deserves to be consigned to purgatory we believe that man to be 'HH R.

About 175 guests sat down to the ban­ quet tables which were handsomely decorated. After the feast of good things had been enjoyed a fine program of toasts was carried out, Mr. Aaron Clark acting as toastmaster. Mrs. Grace Bauer of the Hastings chapter responded to the address of welcome, and C. F. Field also responded to a toast. After the banquet two candi­ dates were initiated, Bastings chapter exemplifying the work. Mra.

TS£IA “Dear Mrs. Pinkham: — I have never before given my endorse­ ment for any medicine, but Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com­ pound has added so much to my life and happiness that I feel like making an exception in this case. For two years every month I would have two days of severe pain and could find no relief, but one day when visiting a friend I run across Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Com­ pound—she had used it with the best results and advised me to try it I found that it worked wonders with me; I now experience no pain and only had to use a few bottles to bring about this wonderful change. I use it occasionally now when I am.exceptionally tired or worn ouL”_— Miss Alice AL Smith, 804 Third Ave., Sou- h Minneapolis, Minn., Chair­ man Executive Committee Minneapolis Study Club. Beauty and strength in women vanish early In life because of monthly pain or some menstrual irregularity. Many suffer silently and see their best gifts fade away. Lydia E. Pinkham s Vege­ table Compound helps women preserve roundness of form and freshness of face because it makes their entire female organism healthy. It carries women safely through the various natural crises and is the safeguard of woman’s health. The truth about this great medicine is told in the letters from woipen published in this paper Constantly. Mrs. C. Kleinschrodt, Morrison, Ill., says: — “Dear Mrs. Pixkham:—I have suffered ever since I was thirteen years of age with my menses. They were irregular and very painful. I doctored a great deal but received no benefit. “A friend advised me to try Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound, which I did, and after taking a few bottles of it, I found great relief. “Menstruation is now regular and.without »in. I am enjoying better health than I have How is itpoRsible for us to make it plainer that Lydia E. I* ink ham’s Vegetable Com­ pound will poeitively help all sick women 1 All women are constituted alike, rich and poor, high and low', — oil suffer from the same organic troubles. Surely, no one can wish to remain weak and sickly, discouraged with life and without hope for the future, when proof is so unmistakable that Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound will cure monthly suffering — all womb and ovarian troubles, and all the ills peculiar to women.

Young Aldrich who bad a six shooter, undertook to take out the cartridges for fear of accident when for some un­ known cause one of them went off frightening the horses which sprang and broke, the evener, then went to tbe fence throwing them all out. The horses immediately broke loose, ran a short distance and turned into a field and stopped. The passengers were un­ injured, except Mr. Turner who was drawn under the horses heels and who lay unconscious and covered with blood. He was taken up and carried to the residence of Warren Fisher which was close by. His lips were found to be badly cut and several teeth knocked out In about an hour he was taken to his home and Dr. Elliott of Hickory Corners called.

Here', Aunt Jane writ­ ing that she wants to be sure that we have a tine Thanksgiving turkey, and so she Is sending us a live one. Juat fancy how nood he will taste with some of your prime dressing.” Marta beamed. She was proud of ber cooking. Jasper went to the freight office the next evening and eweorted tbe turkev home In person. U ben it waa tethered to a stake In the back yard. Maria could not but’declare that It waa the finest turkey ahejbad ever acen. infi­ nitely finer than Any belonging to tbe house next door. | But. alas, there was no chance for comparison. Others besides Marlon bad evidently watched the growth of her turkeys and took An Interest, a proprie­ tary Interest, in them. The next morn­ ing her turkey house was empty. ' Marlon cried. Here It was only two days to Thnnkagiylng dinner aud her father's long expected visit, nnd there was a dearth of | turkeys In Orevtlie. She was at an upper window gax'.ng disconsolately toward the empty poul­ try bouse when her glance happened to stray to tbe yArd of her neighbor. She saw the turkey tethered to the post Instantly she thought she recog­ nized it as htT favorite gobbler. It wa» a case of mistaken Identity, but there Is much of a sameness in turkeys. Ah, so he was tne thief! But where were tbe others?. Doubtless he had made way with them. Here her tears flowed again. It was a melancholy sat­ isfaction to think! how perfectly she bad diagnosed the stranger’s character it that chance meet Ing so mauy weeks before, but It was 'not a material com­ fort. Meanwhile there was equal distress in the bouse of Peyton. Maria’s sister was ill. nnd she must come at once. She had departed With many tears and lamentations. j Jasper after seeing her off bad re­ turned home In a melancholy frame of mind. No Thanksgiving dinner for him ndw. He must eat at the hotel. And the turkey? Just then a most brilliant idea came to him. He had heard of Miss Carl­ ton’s loss. Why riot give her his tur­ I key? But a very astonished face met him next door. Was his conscience already trouliling him? Marion’s cheeks were scarlet with anger ns the unconscious young man presented the turkey In his most polite manned He had scarcely finished when tbe avalanche fell. His turkey! For bow long had it been hi turkey? Since last night. It was adding Insult to Injury to return as a gif^ what be had previ­ ously stolen. Jasper’s bewilderment had changed to anger. "You accuse me4-me?" be exclaimed incredulously. 'But it is only on a i»r with your previous, actions. Permit me. madam, to Inform;you that the turkey arrived by express last night. You can get tbe ex[>rvss agent to verify my words. I can only hope that you will enjoy my turkey as much as if it had been one of your own.” And before the girl could speak be had bowed ironical­ ly and was gone. It was the next evening that there came a timid tap at Jasper’s door. It was the girl from the next house. Her long lashes hid the dark eyes and the scornful mouth trembled. Only the nose still tilted aggravatingly. “1 have come." she said io a very small voice, "to say that I am sorry. The express agent told me how your aunt had sent it They have caught the thieves who stole my turkeys.” Jasper was silent. It was uudoubt edly cruel of him. but he bad suffered much. Tbe girl went on bravely, though there was a choke In her voice: "And— and—I’ve come to ask you whether you won’t come over and have some of your turkey with us tomorrow. Father will be borne, and 1 know he will be glad to meet you. Won’t you comer’ Jasper saw tears shining behind the long lashes. His heart beat strangely as be took her outstretched hand. "I shall be glad to cbme." he said quietly. But it took Maria a long time to get used to the new state of affairs. THE WHITE HOUSE TURKEY ■ feasting a century ago.

Here Is a description of one of these celebrations: "In the great red farmhouse on the hill preparationswere begun long before the day. The turkey that stalked before the dootyard bad been watched with hungry eyes and fattened with urgent care. Pumpkins bad been brought from the cornfield to sun themselves on the wood pile. Ab, it was a sure sign of the day’s approach, and they might have defended their right to be there without being laughed at by the an­ cient chronicler's words, Tx-t no man make a jest' at pumpkins, for with this fruit tl»e Lord was pleased to feed bls people to their " ‘ good' content till corn and calii tie were Increased!' A goodly supply >f nil garden vegetables was at hand, j. tpples and pears, the best In the orchart, had been gathered and hidden away I j the dark to mellow. Alas for the fei st if there was not molasses enough to be had! There could be none withou t it.

Theo there was a deal of work neces­ sary within the bouse—the wedding china jo be brought out, the brasses all to be polished, especially the ancestral andiro u is, and the spare _ chambers " * to be set In order, with extemporized beds in very available corner—all ready for the hcjmecomlng. Grandpa and grand­ ma were the reigning sovereigns, and their family was a royal one. The night beford Thanksgiving they are ail there, and the daughters-in-law have stowed their ^little ones away in big feather beds, a dozen, more or less, in each, like sardines, and the youngsters have gone to tb« ir pillow fight in the attic cham­ bers. "Around the huge open fireplace, by the II ht of Its burning logs, those boys of the oldep times spin their yarns of childhood days and crack their jokes until the laughter changes to tears and they are ready’for the evening prayer and the/tender good night And then the Thanksgiving morning! it is clear and cold, perhaps the first snow upon the ground, for Boreas was wont to contribute something unusual before the days of weather reports. All the family are at cbuieli-it was expected and the proper thing, for family reli­ gion was on dress parade—and the gray 4iaired paraon, regardless of the passing time, rises to the occasion in fervent words of gratitude to God for ills abundant mercies. Then comes the dinner, skillfully managed by the maid­ en aunt—God bless her!—an indispen­ sable condensation of virtue on such occasions, a dinner not ao elaborate as liountlful. not so elegant as healthful. How the children’s eyes, dance, even those of tbe babe tn the big board cra­ dle who has no part or lot in it. Tbe turkey, of course, is there, crisp and brown, as only one can be which has been slowly roasted before the fire and basted from the dripping pan beneath. Vegetables of all sorts load the table; delicacies, too, that have been wait­ ing long for that hour, nnd numerous mysteries of their old fashioned culi­ nary art Then there are pies of sun­ dry kinds, the chicken pie among them; but best of all—and can we trust our feelings to mention them?— genuine pumpkin pies baked in square tins, having only four corner pieces to each. As tbe evening shadows fall there is a grand assembly about the fireplace. How merrily the corn sput­ ters In the popper! How familiar the sojind of the nuts cracked on tbe hearthstone! What apples and compe­ titions in paring them without a break in the golden shaving! The cider flows from tbe great earthenware pitcher—it never became old in those days." This Thanksgiving business! It makes me wish I had never been hatch­ ed. 1 wonder who started it, any­ way?

What n ghastly sight a roasf turkey is! This business must be stopped. 1 declare it must. I have an idea too.

BhIMY LITERALLY DESTROYED Five Days at Fighting—Ma%r Scott Led Into An Ambuscade and Wound­ , ed—No Americans Wounded, Killed—Five Manila, Nov. 23.—Three hundred Moros are known to have been killed and many more were carried off or wounded aa a result of five day’s fight­ ing in Jolo between American troops under General Leonard Wood and the insurgents. Major H. L. Scott, of the Fourteenth cavalry and five American privates were wounded. General Wood landed near Slet Lake in Jolo Nov. 12. The Moros .were soon located and fighting began immediate­ ly and continued until Nov. 17. Major Scott was taking Panglima Hassen, the Moro leader, who was taken a prisoner, to Jolo. While en route Hassen asked to be allowed to see his family. His appeal was grant­ ed aud he thereupon led Major Scott‘ into an ambuscade, where the Amer­ ican detachment wub fired upon. Major Scott was shot in both hands. Hassen succeeded in escaping during this unexpected attack, but is sup­ posed to have been killed the following day. . The fighting took place in a country covered with swamps and rocks. The Moros wer driven across the country from Siet Lake to the town which Hassen had made his Headquarters and where it was reported the Moroe were 2,000 strong. The rebel position was attacked In the flank by die American troops, who occupied the town and inflicted a loss of fifty killed on the Moros. Hassen, with a small party, surrendered. The rest of the Moros went into the swamps out of which they were driven on Nov. 16, leaving seventy-six be­ hind them. On Nov. 17 the American forces renewed the attack on the re­ maining Moros, of whom forty more were killed. The rebel forces have been literally destroyed by these operations and Gen. Wood says the indications are that there will be no extension of the up­ rising. which was handled without dif­ ficulty. On Nov. 18 General Wood started on an expedition against a body of 2,000 Moros who are in the mountains back of Tablibi. No news has as yet been received as to the result of this move­ ment. General Wood t>as under him two battalions of the 28th regiment, one of the 23rd regiment, a platoon of Captain George 8. Satley’s battery, two troops of the 14th cavalry and a detachment of engineers. Major Scott, assisted with a force, composed ot three companies of the 17th Infantry, a plattoon of Captain D. J. Rumhongh’s battery and a troop of the 14th cavalry.

That was ' exactly at 16:30.

I'M Div Professor Charles L. Norton of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology has demonstrated that mud from tlie bogs of that State and New Jersey will make good fuel. He luis taken ten samples of eastern Massachusetts mud, a meritorious arti­ cle, though much leas viscous than tbe Jersey variety. These samples? weigh­ ing from 100 to 125 pounds a cubic foot in tbe crude state, were air dried from three to eight or nine weeks. At the end of this banting process they were trained down to flfty-flve pounds and were as bard as board. Tbe moat mus­ cular candidates could be split readily, but were hard to saw. Professor Norton’s conclusions are that air dried mud has a caloric power at least 65 per cent as great as first quality American coal, while the aver­ age of ten samples from different bogs at varying depths was 75 per cent, and one specimen reached a value of 98 per cent, and these percentages approxima tel y apply to the finished coke also. He says: "With 43.500 feet to the acre and n depth; say. of twenty feet, we should have some 860.000 cubic feet of mud per acre. This will yield at a conservatlve estimate 40,000,000 pounds of nir dried mud, which is equal in heating power to nt least 25.000.000 jxmiuis. or 12.000 .tons, of goot! coal. If conven­ ience in handling and diminished bulk will justify tbe coking process we may still hope to obtain the equivalent of 10.000 tons of good coke from each acre of twenty foot bog. There hi almost tf not quite enough gas distilled from the coke to make a pound of mud furnish enough gas to coke the next, so that the coking process, once started, will require no extra fuel.” more slowly In the old. truly an alarm Post Office Information.

As a young man we are told that he was rather wild and dissolute, and of a rov­ ing disposition. Perhaps, having seen enough of the world, he sought the se­ clusion of the Michigan wilds in the hopes of freeing himself from tbe hab its he had formed, and to settle down in life. In Maple Grove be practically lived the life of a hermit, his 120 acres of land being paid for in cash when he bought it, and furnishing him with more money than he needed, or used. His days were spent in a little hut. most of them being passed near a cer­ tain window, proof of which being plainly shown by the fact that the chair legs had worn down fully a half inch into the floor. He always had good crops and raised plenty of stock, and it was rumored around the neighborhood, and even be­ yond, that the old man had lots of money hidden about the house. This led to a most brutal and cowardly as­ sault being made upon him, about seven or eight years ago, by a gang of thugs, led by Orlando J. Easterly, of Battle Creek. He was brutally pounded and slugged. He was robbed of nearly 8600, and the thugs, not satisfied with this amount, and feeling that there was more money about the house, tried to make him revekl its whereabouts by FUR COATS of making special cloak sales for ladies’ but not one of them ever had the nerve to do anything of the kind for men.

BEDROOM ARRANGEMENTS FROM A The time ^nsumed by a painter In Hipping bis brush Into a paint bucket and removing any excess of paint tak•'n up thereby Is greater than might-at first apyiear. and any device which would do away with this Irksome de­ tail would surprisingly increase the amount of work that n painter could accomplish in a given time. Such a device has been invented by Mr. John Grahn of Stoughton. WIs.. and an il­ lustration of the apparatus Is shown herewith. The apparatus comprises a reservoir for tbe pnlnt. which is led to the brush through a flexible tube by air pressure. The air pressure in the reservoir Is at­ tained by means of a hand pump at tbe FOUNTAIN FAINTING APPAHATUS. aide, us shown In section in tbe cut. The pump connects with the bottom of the reservoir and forces the air through the paint to an air space at the top. A vertical tube mounted outside of the reservoir connects at tbe top and at the bottom with tbe Interior of the Mme. This tube is provided with two valves, ■ind secured lo a nipple between thesa valves is a flexible tube, which at Its lower end connects with a fixed tube in the brush handle. A valve located at the base of the handle Is provided with a thumb piece, which by • means of a leaf spring is normally held in such position as to close the fixed tube. The lower end of the handle Is formed with a threaded stofa, on to which tbe brush proper Is screwed. The stem Is also provided with an internal thread adapted to re­ ceive a short tube to which is secured what is called the •‘distributer.’’ The distributer consists of a fan shaped canvas well, made double, and between ilie folds nf wltich cords are placed. The webs are snttf»d together between the cords in such manner as to form , channels through which the paint can freely flow to the bristles. The paintar can accurately control tlie tlow of paint through the brush by depressing die thumb piece on the thumb bundle. After tbe painting is done tlie lower valve of the reservoir is closed and tbe upper one opened to admit a flow of compressed air through the tulw and brush, discharging nil paint therefrom. With public attention turned to tbe subject of Asiatic commerce, and particulnrly to the trade possibilities of Miincburia. the statement of the trade remtinns of the United States with Russia Just Issued by the bureau of statistics is of unusual interest. Com­ merce between the United States and Russia during the lost year has surpaksed all previous records, exceeding the commerce of the fiscal year ending n year ago by 50 per cent and amount­ ing to nearly double that of the year before that. The combined exports and imports passing between the two countries during the fiscal year Just eniled amounted to $20,800,000, the ex­ ports from the United States to Russia alone aggregating $17,006,812. Dr L. 0. Howard, the government’s chief expert on the mosquito question, frankly admits that one variety of tbe pestiferous ipsect has turned up in New Jersey and on the islands around the harbor of New York with which he and all tbe government forces cannot cope. This species has boon named and classified ns the /Bdes smltbil. The Abides smithli is the smallest mos­ quito known, ns well as the most ravenous and the hardest to kill.

Sound waves traverse the air as rip­ ples stir the water, and the ear, by ex­ perience. acquires some slight power of detecting tbe direction in one case, as the eye does with far greater accuracy In the other. Usually we unconscious­ ly receive assistance from other senses ss well. Often we fall to locate at once some hidden source of sound, such as a singing bird, and then our instinc­ tive ingenuity displays Itself. The Intensity of sound Is. of course, by ho means so great behind a screen as In front of It. and every one carries with him the screen of his own head, which may prevent a particular sound from being heard so well by one ear as by the other. If. then, the bead is turned until this inequality disappears, and l»otb ears hear equally well, we know that we must be directly facing or turned from tbe source of sound, and our previous rough idea of Us whereabouts generally prompts ns to face it. The whiteness and opacity of dry linen, as of writing paper, are due mainly to the fact of repeated reflex­ ions at the surface, so that the light is wasted in these reverberations before it enn reach to any depth. The body of linen is a network of transparent fibers not in optical con­ tact. which intercept the light by re­ peatedly rcflexlog IL Now. if the in­ terstices of these fibers are filled by a body of tbe same refractive index as the fibers themselves tbe reflexion of the surface is destroyed and tbe linen is rendered more transparent Water does this; hence linen when wet is darker, but more translucent Just as Is the oiled paper used for tracings by architects and engineers. The same holds good with ordinary glass and ground glass, the repeated reflexions of tbe latter making it far jess transparent To a similar cause are due the whiteness and opacity of snow, of salt and of pulverized glass.

Prominent Cit­ ATTEMPT AT BRIBERY Reported In Connection With State Prison Contract Jackson, Mich., Dec. 1.—Dr. Bills, president of the board of control of the state prison, says that attempts nave been made to bribe the members by certain concerns desiring the con­ tract for rebuilding the cell blocks In the west wing of the prison, for which the last legislature appropriated about $175,000.* Dr. Bills lias not revealed the “young man's name who, he says, made advances some time ago to War­ den Alonzo Vincent. His story is that the warden drew the young man out, asking what they usually gave for a contract of this kind. "Oh, all the way from $6,000 to $10,­ 000," he replied. He afterwards said that there was no use being mealy­ mouthed about the matter, and - bls firm could be assured the contract something like $10,000 would be forth­ coming for a division among the mem­ bers of the board and the warden. The president of the board upbraid­ ed the young man for his bribery ad­ vances upon the warden. The young man confessed the whole matter and evidently expected to be arrested. He begged so hard for mercy uiat the board members and the warden have so far withheld his name and firm. The contractors bid on two proposi­ tions. The first was for a new cell block and building elevator to the hos­ pital: second, a new cell block and changing the windows In the cel) block. The bids -were: S. H.

While the board adjourned, putting the awarding of the contract over un­ til Dec. 10, Colonel 3. H.

The center of interest In Bethlehem both to the inhabitants and to tbe vis Itor. Is the large cluster ;of buildings cons^tlng of the Church pf the Nativ­ ity surround* d b£ the I^itln and Greek convents. This most Interesting edifice in nil Palestine is yte oldest Christian church In existence. It was bufft over a site the authenticity of which is IJt tie disputed. St. Helena founded th* church-In 335 A. D.. at tbe time when she erected so many l^autiful edifices upon sacred rites In Palestine. If this church in Bethlehem bad been built entirely according tn her plan it would have been simply magnificent, but for some unknown rea.«on her details were never carried out. Still tbe church has standing remains which show some­ thing of Its former grandeur. The beau­ tiful Corinthian pillars of marble and the cedar beams from tbe Lebanon, which uphold the roof, and the faded remains of the beautiful frescoes on the walls all give one an idea of the magnificence of her plan. The present church built over the site and adjoining this basilica of St. Helena is owned in common by the Latins, the Greeks and the Armenians, who each have their own separate share In it and tbelr own small chapels within the one building. Tbe Turk holds control of it and sells the privi­ lege of possession of tbe various sacred spots to tbe highest bidder. The Greeks, being the wealthiest of the oriental Christians, own the largest chanel. This Is a source of great sor­ row to the Latins, and because of the unfriendly feeling between al! these different sects Turkish sentries are sta­ tioned to keep the peace within all the churches In Palestine which are owned Rloi out.

Then the situation assumed a different aspect entirely, for the pec­ cary when aroused is one of the most bloodthirsty of creatures and as re­ vengeful as an Indian. Fortunately for me. a great gum tree stood conven­ iently near, and by means of the lianas that swung from its branches I was boou safe from harm and looking calm­ ly down upon the little black beasts as they raged around tbe trunk. But a peccary, as h well known, can enter­ tain only one idea at a time, and the idea that possessed the shallow brains of my friends below was how to effect my destruction. After rooting around awhile they all sat down in an attitude of expectation and patiently waited for toe to descend. And they would sit there, I felt sure, knowing peccary na­ ture as I did. until they starved me to death rather than allow me to escape. 1 had only a few rounds of ammuni­ tion suited to tlielr needs, but I killed three more before it was exhausted and peppered the hides of several oth­ ers ao that if they ever had entertained the Idea of leaving they abandoned It entirely.

It is not, aa ninety-nine persons In a aundred think, tbe island of Juan Fer­ nandes, on the southwest coast of South America, but it is a good many miles nearer the coast of our own Unit­ ed States, tn the southeastern part of the Caribbean sea. I will not waste any time, either the reader's or my awn. in argument, but respectfully re­ fer the earnest Inquirer to old Crusoe himself. Robinson Crusoe. Esq., mar Iner. of Bristol.

But. whether he ever existed or not. that is where De Foe placed bls hero when be had him wrecked on the coast of his island.

Aa Tobago Is a tropical island the i meat would not keep a great while, and we really bad much more than we could eat, but Pappy Ned said be knew of some black people over on the other side of the forest who would devour what there was left provided he could get word to them in time. There never was a more beautiful situation for a hut than the site of mine on a hilltop above the forest line, with views of tropical woods and shini Ing shore, and. as tbe weather that I Christmas, day was simply perfect. I ordered my man to make our “spread" in the open, beneath the cocoa palms, sheltered from the blazing sun by the golden rooftrees only. So he set tbe table out of doors and lost no time In getting at the cooking, which was done over an open fire. Pappy Ned was as adept at preparing exquisite dishes I from next to nothing as any Parisian 1 chef that ever lived. We had a garden 1 filled with such plants as the manioc. I tania. sweet potato, arrowroot. yam. I etc., not to mention corn and mountain . rice. From a wild grove of coffee trees I obtained the fragrant berry for my morning beverage: also cacao, or choco­ late. from another copse on the border of tbe forest, while the cocoa palms above and around my hut held a de­ licious cool drink in their unripe nuts. Pappy Ned dried and grated the cassa­ va tubers, making “farine.” from which he cooked great cakes more than r. foot across. Tbe juice of the cassava Is poisonous In its crude state, but it Is converted Into a palatable substance by heat and forms the basis of tbe noted “cnssareep.” or pepper pot. We always had a pepper pot on hand as a stand­ by. Intn which we threw the odd pieces of meat left over after ordinary re­ pasts. and a goodl/amount of the pec­ cary flesh was thus disposed of. the cassareep acting as a preservative as well as condiment. But pepper pot , was n poor man’s makeshift. Pappy Ned always declared, and the day beforo bo had walked the beach for sen i turtle eggs, severe I score of which ho j had brought back to enmp. together with a fine fish he had caught on the shore.

There were no drinks itrtlflctally cooled, ice being an unob­ tainable luxury in Crusoe’s Island, but there were tropical fruits in abun­ dance—pines, guavas, mangoes, oranges and custard apples—all of which bad been plucked within a stone’s throw ol my hut.

I As Clarice Bonvule’s eager youns soul rebelled under tbe scourge of this double revelation a dull mist seemed to obscure the effulgent radiance of the orient, and an Iron thorn pricked through its sensuous indolence. She was a soft. Innocent, Ignorant young thing, capable of heaven Only knew what possibilities. Until now rose leaves had strewn her way through life, and homage to her wonderful beauty had been a stimulating incense to her brain if not to her heart. She had always had her mother hitherto. Now she had only her husband. That reality. she should He so phrase it to herself filled her with a childlike shrinking and de­ spair. Never before bud her soul known this helpless loneliness. It is a deso­ lating thing for a proud, anient young wife to learn that she has married a stranger who, as her husband. Is rapid­ ly becoming a bereaving acquaintance. There was a dumb cry in her heart for some touch of human sympathy, for the soothing support which affec­ tion exhales. This poignant Isolation was enhanced by her surround lugs. The gayety of the hotel people; the su­ perficial .splendor, almost nakedness, of tbe orient’s color; the melancholy of the tombs, mournful memorials of a hu­ man kind a.MOCiated with so remote a past as to be merged in the mythical: the stolid insensibility of the sitting fig­ ures in the many shops of tbe great bazaar, from which drifted perfumes strangely sensuous, but poorly invigo­ rating; even the thin, penetrating cry of the muezzins, perched like human storks on the slender minarets and in­ citing the Moslem to mechanical devo­ tions with their reiterated "Alla Akbar. Alla Akbar! La Allah 11 Allah! Heyya alasallabr* the narrow, dirty alleys, the garish Baris suggestiveness in so much of the khedlve’s capital—all seemed to drain her heart and leave In it a heav­ ier burden of aching void. The same numbing undercurrent of sadness ran through their excursions to the excavations, trips on the oily calm or sluggishly rutiled Nile, drives to Gozireb, Hie pyramids, sphinxes, columns or what uoL Some one has said; ’’The east is a land of mystery. If one cares for It at all one loves it There is no half way. If one does not love it one really hates it and all Its ways.” Clarice Bonvale fild not love It. She saw it all with her husband. She had come to feel him a disturbing figure in the foreground of every scene, even the widely extending one of life. “Those ranges of lioats with their curved yards make me think of great dry sedges bent by the wind, and those tall, tufted palms look like gigantic feather dusters stuck in the sand.” she remarked once to Bonvale, with a short little laugh. They were sailing on tbe Nile, the yellow Libyan hills in the dis­ tance. The quick wrinkle came into bls smooth forehead, and there was the disgusted compression of his lips. “You ought to learn to take things as yon find them,” he said, with an ir­ ritated, monitory air. The girl’s mouth quivered to a slight proud smile, but formed no answer. She had already l>egun to take Lucien Bonvale as she found him, but her re­ sentment at having* to do so was not therefore the less. She was looking forward with sharp ieslre to tbe hour of their departure. If she fell in unprotestlngiy with Mr. Bonvale’s proposition to go here or there it was with the relieving senm that one more reason for remaining would be exhausted. In this spirit she assented to bis wish to "do” the tombs of the Apis bulls. She hated tombs more than anything—first because she was too alive not to detest the thought of death, and then because she loath­ ed the warm glow, the acrid smell, ths scurrying flight of bats and the smoky flare of the torches in these subterra­ nean chambers. "What Is an Apis bull? And why should it have a tomb?" she asked cu­ riously. “Oh, when they found a bull with certain markings the priests made the people think Osiris bad gone Into him, and they adored the beast,” replied Bonvale. quite content with thia de­ gree of erudition on tbe subject. Mrs. Bonvale informed herself some­ what more about the Apis bulla. If she was going to the Serapeum, tbe necropolis of defunct bovlnes at Mem­ phis, she chose to know what claim thia sacrosanct herd could have on tbe attention of an Intelligent New Eng­ land girl of today. She would hardly have been a true product of her envi- but quiet disdain the solemn mockery of worship which lay tn adoring the benevolent Osiris reincarnated in a ball. no matter what its erotic mark­ ings.

The use of evergreens at Christmas time is older than the Christmas tree, the Christians seeming to have copied it from their pagan ancestors. In a very old book we find this reference to tbe use of evergreens at Christmas time: “Against the feast of Christmas every man’s bouse, as also their parish churches, were decked with holme. Ivie, bayes and whatsoever the 'season of the year afforded to be green. The conduits and standards of tha»streets were likewise garnished, among the which I read that in the year 1414, by tempest of thunder and lightning, to­ ward the morning of Candlemas day. at the Leadenhall. in Cornhill, a stand­ ard of tree, being set up In tbe midst of the pavement, fast in tbe ground, nailed full of holme and Ivie, for dis­ port of Christmas to the people, was torn up and cast down by the malig­ nant spirit, as was thought, and the •tones of the pavement all about were cast in the streets and into divers houses, so that the people were sore', aghast at the great tempest.’’—Leslie's Weekly. On the Christmas Tree. The old fashioned stockings nnd hearts and crosses aud animals cut out of tarlatan outlined with worsted and then filled with fiat candles and tied on the tree are always popular orna-. monte. Sugar figures bought in the '•onfectlonery store will serve to break the monotony. Tne baker at Christmas time usually has his windows filled with horses, dogs, cats and men and women made of delectable cake dough and artistically ornamented with color­ ed sugar curlycues. These are tooth some and attractive to the small boy and girt. Candles In small caudle holders are always scattered well over tbe tree.

I was therefore obliged to be. constantly on tie alert. Exhausted from my exer­ tions and though fearing that sleep might mean death, I could not resist tbe drowsiness that came over me; so I fell asleep. When I awoke after a few hours it was night, and the stars were in the sky. Though my hands and feet were numbed, I did not feel as cold as one might imagine. It is useless describing my sensations. I thought of ihe sad Christmas mother and the kids would pass without me and, perhaps, without the old man. nnd i prayed to God to save me. I was glad when the morning came—Christ­ mas morning—but I suffered fearfully from hunger and thirst, especially from thirst.

But one shonld never despair even though hun­ dreds of miles out at sea on an Ice­ berg. for that evening I was taken off the berg by a boat from the barkentine Sea Serpent, commanded by Captain Ferguson, and bound for the Axofret.

THURSDAY DECEMBER IO, 1903. Supervisors Must Pay RM is. A decision of importance tn boards of supervisors and others was filed by tbe supreme court on Wednesday in tbe case of the township of Cedar Creek against the Wexford county beard-of supervisors. Tbe township allowed certain claims of physicians and others for treatment and-expensee incurred in typhoid fever cases. The claims, after being-paid by tbe township, were presented to the board of supervisors, which refused to allow them. In the mandamus proceedings which followed the question was raised that typhoid fever is not a dangerous com­ municable disease as determined by the slate board of health, and it was contended on behalf of the supervisors that the state l>oard could not make its determination legal. . Upon the showing in the circuit cotfrt the circuit judge held against the township that typhoid fever is not a dangerous communicable disease, and the case came to the supreme court. It is held there that -within reasonable bounds, at least the health officer’s con­ clusion that a disease is communicable and is a menace to the public health, must be conclusive, otherwise the effi­ ciency of health officers and boards would be seriously lessened, for persons would be less likely to hesitate about furnishing medicines and other com­ modities and rendering service if it in­ volved the.danger of review by another board with power to disallow claims upon the ground that the disease was not upon the statute, or that the goods furnished were not necessary.” The court is of the opinion that the allowance by the township board is binding upon the supervisors. j tuple were pleased to see ■ Van Brunt again at his post in High Schoo!

For Complicity In the Notorious Scandals Connected With the “Pure Water Supply.” Grand Rapids, Mich., Dec. 8.-£lght new warrants have been issued for the arreet of mea charged with complicity in the water scheme in one way and another. Charles S. Burch, manager of the Grand Rapids Evening Frees, one of the Scripp’s family of newspapers, tbe principal owner of which is Geo. G, Booth, of Detroit, son-iu-law, of James T. Scripps, ia accused of conspiracy to defraud the city by supporting a water scheme in return for a bribe of S5,(X)0 alleged to have been given him by Lant K. Salsbury. Eugene D.wConger, principal propri­ etor and manager of the Grand Rapids Herald, to whom Salsbury says he paid 810,000, is charged with a similar offense. J. Russell Thompson, a reporter of the Grand Rapids Press, who confessed that he took 3500 from Salsbury as an instalment of $1,000 to be paid him for keeping quiet after he had discovered the fraud Is also charged with conspir­ acy. It is expected that he will be a valuable witness for the prosecution. J. (’lark Sproat is, the subject of a similar charge. He was formerly man­ ager of the Grand Rapids Democrat, and it is alleged that he took $3,333 for himself and 818,750 for the paper. Sproat used to take a strong interest in democratic politics and his enemies within the party say that he whs not always overnice in demanding financial backing for his papier. William F. M’Knight, one of the most prominent lawyers in the state, who defended Salsbury when the latter was convicted two years ago, is accused of attempting subornation of perjury in company with* George E. Nichols of Ionia, Salsbury and Thomas F. Mc­ Garry of Grand Rapids, by giving Wm. Leonard 81.250 to take to (Jarman a witness for the prosecution, as a bribe to induce him to falsify his testimony. McKnight was tbe democratic candi­ date for attorney general at the last election, and has been a prominent figure in all the democratic state con­ ventions for many years. Of late, he has been a bitter opponent ot D. J. Campau. He is president of the Post Publishing Co., and last night his paper charged the prosecutors with having flunked when confronted with the duty of proceeding against the prominent men involved in the scandal, because of powerful political influences. Men­ tion is made also of the fact that he and Assistant Prosecutor Ward were on bad terms, because of some trouble over the trial of a divorce case, but no significance is attached to this by the citizens. Geo. E. Nichols, who was one of Sals­ bury’s attorneys, and who was tried ou the charge of attempting to bribe Wit­ ness Garman, but acquitted, is now ac­ cused of having committed perjury in testifying in bis own behalf. Isaac F. Lamoreux comes under the conspiracy charge on the ground that while he was city clerk he took $1,500 '•fiat day. The officers elected at this our school Monday. meeting were: Free.. Mrs. N.

Lacking a more recherche vehicle which would accommodate the party, Mr. and Mrs. Furniss met their guests at the station Thursday morning with a huge woodrack, entrance to which was gained by means of a ladder ten feet high. Some of the party showed hesi­ tation in making the ascent, but they were promptly assisted “over the jumps” by willing hands and when the party was safely loaded a triumphal parade was made through the principal streets. The frozen roads were a trifle rough, and there were no springs under the wagon, so that the ride put the guests in the flnest of condition for theexcellent dinner which Mrs. Furniss later prepared for them. They were also extended a cordial invitation to stay all night and sleep in the wood rack, but on account of other pressing arrangements they felt compelled to re­ turn to their homes that evening.— nations and ferns.

The Greek and Armenian ladles were richly dressed in heavy silks and vel­ vets under their fur lined wraps. They wore u profusion of Jewels of barbaric design.

The other ladles wen* handsomely dressed, but it remained for the two Jewish la’ dies to exhibit fine diamonds in ex travngnnt ’ 'rs. In such . xed assemblage it was almost impossible to establish anything like sociability, and the poor hostess grew haggard with the effort. The Turks looked on with preternaturtil gravity and bowed with exceeding po­ liteness on all occasions. The Persian ambassador might have been a wooden image for all the expression on his face. The Albanian stood in a corner in solitary grandeur, his stiffly starched fustauelle standing out like a ballet dancer’s skirt. The Japanese .consul smiled and bowed right and left with praiseworthy Impartiality. The Eng­ llshmen stood in a group, while the Greek, French and Armenian got together and were soon talking with ani­ mation, while the word "parades" fell from their lips as if money was the only thing worth mention.

Houses built of sand, but as substan­ tial and durable as granite, have been made possible by a process Just per­ fected in England by Mr. L. P. Ford of GreafonV Mr. Ford is well known In South Af­ rica, where liefore the Boer war he founded Fordsburg. a suburb of Johan nesburg, and a^ao the Johannesburg waterworks and the Pretoria Electric Lighting company. ’ A bed of clean sand and ground quicklime are all the materials heeded for the new artificial rock. The ingre­ dients are mixed In proper proportions mechanically and forced by a screw in­ to a mold formed of a very strong steel cylinder. dfe\fter the mold la filled it is placed In a box, and the air It contains Is sucked out by an air pump. Hot water is then admitted. The water rushes into every minute space and sets the partides of lime to slgpking. The lime swells and causes a great pressure in the mold, while at the same time an intense heat is produced. Under the influence of the heat and pressure the sand and lime are molded into a rock which has 60 per cent as much strength as the hardest granite. It is ready for use in eight hours. The rock is of the same composition as the old Roman cement, the most durable of building materials. The se­ cret of mnklng this Roman cement has been lost for ages. ■ The new building stone costs but 22 cents n cubic foot The secret of Mr. Ford’s success is said to lie in his use of a cylindrical mold. Others who tried to make silicate of dime building stone used square molds. They did not get an even distribution of the internal and external strains, and the stone produced was full of cracks. ADJUSTABLE WRENCH. With n large share of the machinery which is used in our manufacturing industries the builders furnish special wrenches which will only fit nuts of a certain size and are intended to lie used in connection with the one ma­ chine. These, of course, need no ad­ justing to fit the nut and are a great convenience and save time for the ma­ chinist. Rut there, are many Instances In the everyday work of thp machinist where a wrench which can he rapidly set fb any necewuJry size will prove a great advantage to the man who Is handling it. The usual form of wrench requires the turning of fa thumb wheel several revolutions to vary the distance be-tween the jaws oven a quarter of an Inch, and there can be no movement of the Jaw without turning this screw. Here is a wrench which has the mov­ able jaw perfectly free to slide from closure to its widest opening, oal> coming to n stop whenever the can\ block Is set. Thia cam block rests ii\ the center of the slotted handle and la ■o pivoted that Its edge Is eccentric ta the pin on which it revolves. Whether the block Is tilted to stop, the Jaw close to the fixed bead or tu allow It to slide freely the whole length of the opening, the cam block engager the rear of the Jaw in such a manner aS to afford a strong support for the movable Jaw. It requires no rotation of adjusting screws, but only a simple turn of the block and a sliding move, ment of the loose Jaw to set the wrench, which probably has quite as much expansion as the majority light wrenches. In common use. At a recent meeting of the French Academy of Medicine M. Oourtade gavs. an account of a new local amvstbstlo. It is para-amldo-bensoln ether ant^ has been named amestheslne. It is a, derivative of orthoform and is but slightly soluble tn water, but freely sa in glycerin ana In fatty bodies. It H not poisonous, which giv<-s it a great advantage over cocaine, while Its so*, tlon Is much less transitory than that of that drug. M. Courtade has used tbo drug, especially in cases of patients suffering from tuberculosis nr syphilitic ulceration of the pharynx which ren> dered swallowing very painful or evea Impossible. After an application of an-, sestheslne in ppwder they were able ta swallow without pain.

WHEN YOU ARE BUYING A CHRISTMAS PRESENT You should aim to get something for the home that will be both useful and durable, and that will add to the comfort and happiness of the home. In this line we submit that there is nothing better for a good Christmas Gift than a good stove, and we have an estab­ lished reputation for handling nothing but the best The reputation of the manufacturers of the Garland Stoves and Ranges is such that they could not afford to lllfil put out a stove unless it was first class in every respect. The Wonder Garland is the greatestsoft coal Heater ever made. It is a self feeder and every operation is fully guar­ anteed. There is a double heater attachment for heat­ ing room up stairs. The cost of fuel is less than 10 cents for every twenty-fonr hours. Never has a stove been built that would give as much heat with the same amount of fuel, keep fire as long, or give as much satisfaction. This is a hot blast stove and consumes its own smoke'. It will bum-any kind of fuel, and for its design is one of the cheapest and best stoves made. The double fire pot allows for all expansion and contraction and extends well up, protacting the steel body. The hot blast pipe, with register top, supplies the proper amount of heated air. The body of the stove is polished steel and requires no blacking. These stoves are fully guaranteed to us and if you buy one they will be guaranteed to you.

"And you have never seen her since?" "No; I had quite forgotten the cir ♦umstance." j "And you woiald not recognize her if you met her agkln?” “As I said, her face was concealed by « thick veil.

"That was a very clever cure effected in my friend Russel's "That was nothing," 1 replied. “I discovered that my predecessor in the case had made a mistake Ln his diag­ nosis and was treating the patient for an imaginary disease, thereby aggra­ vating the one from which be was real­ ly suffering. I simply reversed the treatment, whereupon the patient who is a man of excellent constitution, be­ gan to mend directly." “You are modest, doctor,” he said laughingly. "However. I have suffi­ cient confidence in your judgment to ask your advice in a somewhat deli­ cate matter. The* delicacy lies In the circumstance that the patient must be kept In ignorance of the fact that she is being observed. it is my wife. Mrs. Springtborpe, to whom I refer. She has been in failing health for some time, but from what cause 1 cannot as­ certain.- Our family physician. Dr. Hol­ lister. in whom 1 place implicit trust, confesses himself entirely at fault and would be very' glad of your opinion, but Mrs. Springtborpe Is firm in; ber refusal to se. another physician. There­ fore. you will have to conceal the real object of your visit under the guise of friendship." “Cau you give me any Idea of! the symptoms?' 1 asked. "'Nothing but a wasting away, a fad Ing from day to day. a mysterious sup ping of tbe foundations of vitality?" "Has Dr. Hollister formed any opin­ ion?’ "He is inclined to ..believe that the? trouble is mental; that she has some brain disease, or that she has some­ thing on her mind the auxlety of which Is killing ber. But that of course, we know to be Impossible.” "I must confess that you have arous­ ed my professional curiosity,” I said, "‘and I shall be happy to.sec Mrs. Springtborpe and compare notes with Dr. Hollister." “Thaqk you, doctor. As I have al­ ready foUmeted, it would; not do for you to come openly In your profession­ al capacity, but I shall be entertaining a few friends Christmas week at Grav­ elly Grange, my North Carolina epuntry place—yoy know we live In a very quiet way, as Mrs. Springtborpe does not care for town life—and I shall be very glad if you would make one of them.” "Nothing could better flt in with my own ideas,” I replied. "If the case pre­ sents any difficulty, I shall be more likely to arrive at a correct opinion from random observations.” "Very well. then, doctor; we shall ex­ pect you on Monday.” Gravelly Grange was a red brick edi­ fice faced with stone, in the style known as colonial. Upon my arrival I bad scarcely time to change my dress when u knock came at my door, * and Springtborpe entered. "I believe we tacitly agreed not to discuss the real object: of your visit but I must express myr great anxiety for my wife's health. 1I am afraid if this mysterious disease is not promptly checked Mrs. Springtborpe is not long for thiU world. I must tell'you tbit we are an exceptionally affectionate and devoted cotrite, although I am nearly twice her age, and tbe separation would be a cruel blow to me. As we grow old­ er our attachments become’ stronger or our sensibilities more keen. Come; '! will introduce you to Mrs. Sprlngthorpe.” One glance told me as, much as 1 should probably ever know of Mrs. Springtborpe's case. In the emaciated lines of her face I read phthisis, and there was a furtive, bunted look in the eyes that as plainly spoke of mental trouble. I saw, too, that she was no ordinary person. 1 was surprised to detect a fleeting expression of recognition at sight of me, but it passed so quickly that I should have thought myself mistaken had not Springtborpe, also observing it, asked: “Have you two met before ?* "No,” I replied; "at least not to my "'Have you any children?’ “I have an only son by my first wife.

The maid slept in the anteroom, but beard nothing.” "Had your present wife access to her during the night?' ."No. Although their rooms adjoined wall to wall, they were entered from different passages. But 1 am sure I am boring you by talking so much of my own affairs.” "On the contrary, you have aroused my interest” “You are very kind to say so, docHere we parted, and 1 retired to rest "So,” I thought. "I have already ’earned more of Mrs. Springtborpe"■ rase than I care to know." Revolving'in my mind some pretext for taking my departure on the follow­ ing day: I fell asleep. My rest was uneasy. I seemed never to lose consciousness of my surround­ ings, yet there wns something eerie and uncanny about them that did not be­ long to the waking world. There seem­ ed alternations of light and shadow, ss thin, fleecy clouds chased each other across tbe path of the moon, as if the moon bad been open to the sky. and there were rushes of cold wind that stirred my hair with the soothing rus­ tle of leafy branches. I seemed to bear the whisperings about my bed as strange, airy beings floated in ami ont upon tbe moonbeams and hovered round about me. and through all and above all I heard the sound of that voice I had beard in my surgery six years l»efore. the voice of the present Mrs. Springtborpe. "You shall not part us! You shall not pun us!” it seemed to say. Then I was gwakened by an unmistakable ac­ tual sound, a dull thud, that jarred the it wns the closing down of my win­ dow. which I had left partly open to admit a free current of air. Doubtless a sash line had parted, I thought and turned again .to slumber. This time I slept so heavily that It seemed to me 1 was Imprisoned deep down In tbe bowels of tbe earth in a sulphurous atmosphere at an enormous pressure in a darkness so dense as to seem material. My head was burieu under some crushing weight Ages passed thus, and I had become incor­ porated with the rock itself, when hu­ man voices broke Ln upon tbe eternal stillness of my inferno: but, although I heard the’r very words and can re­ member them now. they conveyed no meaning to me. Then came the sound of blows, which gave way ‘to a fearful crash, and the pure air of heaven rush­ ed Into my prison bouse. I felt myself lifted upon my ,'feet, but movement was so painful that 1 threw myself down again, for 1 felt that I only want­ ed to sleep undisturbed. Then a voice said: “Norris. Norris! For God’s sake rouse yours'-’fl" "Walk him up and down." said an­ other voice. "Bring him out Into the passage!” Again I wns lifted up and forced along, and after what seemed to be endless peregrinations it began to dawn upon me that I was In tbe pas-, sage of Gravelly Grange, surrounded by Springthorpe’s guests. "How did this happen, doctor?" ask­ ed my host, who held me by the arm. I turned and gazed upon blm stupidly. "How did what happen?* I asked. “What has happened?’ "You left your gas turned on full on going to bed." . "Impossible!" "It Is true. However, we were in time to save you. It was a fortunate circumstance that the major here chanced to be awake and, detecting the smell of gas. was able to trace it to your room. We were just in time, for you were quite unconscious.” "I cannot explain it,” I said. “I never make a practice of leaving a jet burning. It is incredible that I should bare broken into a habit of a lifetime.” In-five minutes I was sleeping on a couch in my host’s room without being troubled with dreams. 1 arose the next morning Little the worse for my experience. At break­ fast I met Mrs. Springtborpe. Her face had a worn Look, and her eyes were sunken and surrounded by dark rings, but her conversation was as sparkling as ever. When she commis­ erated me • on my night's adventure and coquettlshly rallied me on my beedlessness I could feel my suspicions slipping away from me. After breakfast I stole upstairs and made a careful examination of my bedroom. No sash line had been bro­ ken. I bad no doubt but that a delib­ erate attempt had been made on my life. There was no means of Ingress to the room except by tbe window, and that was at least forty feet from the ground, with no balcony or other projection from the steep face of the wall. . As I stood looking from the window Mrs. Bpringthorpe crossed the grounds below, looking up and bowing, with ber most radiant smile, tn ~ thought I detected a shade thing like defiance.

The amateur china collector is often confused by the terms “bard paste The Ladles’ World and “soft paste. explains them thus: The paste is the day of which tbe article Is made. Hard paste is made of natural clays. and when broken shows bright and sparkling. In hard paste articles the rim on which they rest Is left without a glaze, which Is an easy method pf distinguishing them. Those bard paste porcelains were made at Plymouth. Bristol and Liverpool. Oriental china Is also hard paste. Soft paste is more porous aud dull. very often creamy in tint Soft paste wares were made ta many places In England, such as Bow. Chelsea. Worces­ ter. Derby, Staffordshire, etc. The glaze must be distinguished from the paste. It is tbe glassy cover­ ing of the paste. It may be bard or soft, the hard paste feeling cold and glassy to tbe touch, the soft paste rather soft and gummy. we had our breakfast—thin soup made of peas, carrots, blubber and potatoes.

That the intricacies of the law are sometimes most mysterious was proven again last Week when Edward Butler, the St. Louis boodler, was practically liberated by the supreme court of Mis­ souri, which, reversed the finding of the jury which convicted him. Butler is a notorious democratic ring politician in Ht. Louis, Mo. He was charged with ■bribery in connection with some of the garbage ordinances in that city. Butler is a. demosrat, was tried in a strong democratic county, before a democratic judge, by a democratic jury, aud prose rated by a defnoeratlc prosecuting at­ torney, was found guilty and sentenced to three years in prisons He appealed the case to the supreme court and that august body reversed the finding of the jury. The gist of the finding of the “supreme court is that the garbage ordi­ nances of St. Louis are invalid, and I that Butler could not bribe a man to do ; .anything he had no right to do. I Speaking of bribery in his recent wiessage to Congress President Roose vdt said: There can be no crime more various than bribery. Other offenses ■violate one law, while corruption strikes ■at the foundation of all law. Under -our form of government all authority 4s vested in the people and by them “^delegated to those who represent them tn official capacity. There can be no •offense heavier than that of him 'in ■whom such a sacred trust has been re­ posed who sells it for his own gain and •enrichment; and no less heavy is the • '-offense of the bribe giver. He is worse Xhan the thief for the thief robs the in•dividual, while the corrupt official robs *a entire city or state. He is as wicked as the murderer, for the murderer may oaly take one life against tbe law, while the corrupt official and the man Who corrupts the official alike aim at >he assassination of the commonwealth itself. Government of the people, by the people, for the people, will perish from the face of the earth if bribery is tolerated. The givers and takers of bribes stand on an evil pre-eminence of infamy. The exposure and punish•■•at of public corruption is an honor ta the nation, not a disgrace. The 'shame lies in toleration, not in cor­ rection. No city or state, still less the . Ration, can be injured by the enforce•sent of law. As long as public plund­ erers, whnn detected, can find a haven wr refuge in any foreign land and avoi< punishment, just so long encouragd ■sent is given them to continue their practices. If we fail to do all that in «s lies to stamp out corruption we canaot escape our share of responsibility tor the guilt The first requisite of successful self-government Is unfl inch­ lag enforcement of the law and the ‘'cutting out of corruption.

WllUam Wilson, alias Frank Harris, shot Sher­ iff Dykhuis in the Jaw and tired sev­ eral shots at the deputy, none of which took effect As a result of the leputy’s pummellng, Wilson Iles on a sot in the jail In a very serious condi­ tion. When the deputy made his rounds if inspection la#t night he did not see Wilkon in his cell. A few minutes ater Wilson sprang from behind a tell door, and. flring a shot at the dep­ uty. ran downstairs. The deputy .•called to the sheriff, who met Wilson at the foot of the lauding, apa the flee­ ing prisoner fired two shots, one strik­ ing the sheriff in the Jaw, the bone deflecting the ball into the fleshy part af his neck. Wilson then fled out ot the Jail and across the courthouse pard, during which shots were ex­ changed between him and thp deputy, none taking effect. The deputy over­ hauled Wilson and after a struggle brought him back to the Jail and gave him a beating with the butt of his re­ volver. Although badly hurt, his injuries are not necessarily fatal. Wilson saye he got the revolver from his partner, John QHnn. who escaped from the dep­ uty by jumping from a train in Grand Rapids railway yards a few weeks ago while he was being brought from Kal­ amazoo. Wilson says Quinn was in Grand Haven Saturday night, and go­ ing to the jail passed the revolver to him on a stick through his cell win­ dow.

Albion, Mich., Dee. 15.—The aged woman who committed suicide at tbe Hotel Albion Saturday night under the name of Mrs. J. Thorn, Is though lo be Mrs. McClue. who was well known in towns in the state. She deitroyed all letters and other means of identification, as far as possible, but one letter, evidently overlooked, was ’,ound which mentioned two children in Dakota, and also contained reference to a residence in Nashville, Mich. Inquiry at Nashville revealed the fact that an aged woman named Mc­ Clue lived there for about nine months but left the first of June for Charlotte. At Charlotte three Misses McClue. nieces of the woman who lived there, ire teachers in the public school. They refused to discuss the Albion sui­ cide further than to say that they had no reason for believing her their aunf. The niece with whom she stopped In Macon also refused to discuss the mat­ ter. saying that she had no reason to tear that her aunt would ever commit suicide.

Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound. “Young Women:—I had frequent headaches of a severe nature, dark spots before my eyes, and at my menstrual periods I suffered untold agony. A member of the lodge advised me to try Lydia EL Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound, but I only scorned good advice and felt that my case was hopeless, but she kept at me until I bought a bottle and started taking it. I soon had the best reason in the world to change my opinion of the medicine, as each day my health improved, and finally I was entirely without pain at my menstruation periods. I am moet gratefuL”—Nmi« Blackmore, 28 Cer.tral Aven Minneapolis, Minn. Painful Periods j are quickly and permanently overcome by Lydia E. Pinkham^ Vegetable Compound. The above letter is only one of hundreds ox thousands which prove this statement to be a fact. Menstruation is a severe ktrain on a woman’s vitality, — If it is painful something is wrong. Don’t take ’.arcotics to deaden the pain, bat remove the cause — perhaps it is caused by irregularity or womb displace­ ments, or the development of a tumor. Whatever it is, Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound is guaranteed to cure it. If there is anything about your case about which you would like special advice, write freely to Mrs. Pinkham. She will treat your letter as strictly confidential She can surely help you, for no person in America can »pcak from a wider experience in treating female ills- She has helped hundreds of thousands of women back to health. Her address is Lynn, Mass-, and her advice is free. You are very foolish if you do not accept her kind invitation. Details of Another Case. “Dkab Mbs. Pinkham:—Ignorance and carelessness is the cause of most of the suffer­ ings of women. I believe that if vre properly understood the laws of health we would all be well, but if the sick women only knew the truth about Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound, they would be saved much suoexing and would soon be cured. I used it for five months for a local diffi­ culty which had troubled me for yean, and for which I had spent hundreds of dollars in the vain endeavor to reotify. My life forces were being sapped, ind I was daily losing my vitality. , “ Lydia E. Pinkham‘s Vegetable Compound cured me completely, and I am now enjoying the best of health, and am most grateful, and only too pleased to endorse such a great remedy.” — Miss Jennie L.

The Quimby school are rejoicing in the fine new library and library case that has recently been acquired. The library contains ninety-three books and cost $27.50. The library case cost 810. The money for the purchase of the li­ brary and case was earned by means of socials, entertainments and the sale of Hawthorne certificates. The teacher, Miss Frankie Warner, and her pupils are to be congratulated upon their fine achievement. At the time of the local association in Hastings programs of the state as socialioh at Ann Arbcr were given outThis meeting will be held Tuesday,. Wednesday and Thursday, Dec. 29. 30 and 31. The round trip fare from Has­ tings is 82.38. The whole expense of the trip can be made to come very close to 86 including membership. This is a very small sum to pay in compari­ son to the inspiration and help re­ ceived. A visit to the University is well worth the cost of the trip to those interested in the work of education. Uur rural teachers have never attended the state association meetings very largely. We hope to meet a large num­ ber at Ann Arbor this year. Died.

LEWIS—In this city, Friday morning, December 18, Henry Lewis, of paraly­ sis, aged 61 years. Deceased was born in Marshall, Nov. 5,1842, coming here with bis parents when six weeks old, and has lived here ever since. In 1867 he was married to Mies Mafia Furber, of this city, who with three children survive him, Robert, of Hastings, Charles, of Charleston, S. C., and Mrs. Minnie Davis, of Petoskey. Mr. Lewis was a man universally liked and was formerly prominent in politics In the city, holding the office of city treasurer for several terms. He had been In poor health for over a year, and had been confiaed to the bed for the past 12 weeks, requiring constant care and attendance. The funeral was held Sunday from his late home, Rev. Trott conducting the services. A sad feature in connection with Mr. Lewis’ death is the condition of his daughter Mrs. Davis, at Petoskey, who is dying of cancer. She has called for her mother repeatedly, but the latter could not leave the bedside of her hus­ owing to the fact that his death might occur at any time. Friday in response to word that if she wished Jto see her daughter alive she must come at once she left for Petoskey on the noon train, and has since1 been giving the care and attention to her daughter in the few surviving days the latter has to live, that only a mother can give.

MAY PROBATE ORDKX M'jMaj. The department of agriculture has for several years been conducting a series of experiments to determine the dietary ▼alue of different foods. Nine dietary studies and thirty-one digestion experiments were carried on. In the majority of the dietary studies and all but one of the digestion experi­ ments fruit and nuts constitut'd all or almost ali of the dirt. The results of the investigation emphasize the fact that both fruit and nuts should be con­ sidered as true foods rather than food accessories. The subjects were two wo­ men. three children, two elderly men and two university students. The men all did hard manual labor during a part of the time, the students working to support themselves while pursuing their studies. The fare given in these experiments was In every case one that would ap­ peal to any normal appetite. It em­ braced honey, tomatoes, apples, ba­ nanas, cantaloupes, grapes, verdai, cornlchon. tokay. muscat, sca-’rt haws, pears, jioinegranates, perslmujuus. or­ anges. strawberries. watermeJc-s, figs, almonds and peanut butter. T..e only aniipal foods allowed were cottage cbe-se and eggs, and these In limited quantities. The cost of such a diet va­ ried from 15 to 1» cents a dny. Comparative experiments were car­ ried along In which animal foods were employed under the usual conditions of living, am!-In these the daily cost ran from 2tl to 30 cents. It was found that th- food eaten supplied about CO per cent of the protein usually secured by the average meat diet, while health and strength continued the same, if not Uqproved. and In two or three cnses .> litaT? was a slight gain In flesh and I! weight. ! Fruits contain little protein, and nuta are relied on in tbe fruitarian plan of i eating to balance the ration.

Frank Andrews Paroled. The parole of Frank C. Andrews, of Detroit, the well known bank wrecker* by Gov. Bliss, fully justifies every state­ ment the Banner has made against his excellency as being a man unfit for the exalted position be occupies. Only by the most despicable use of money was the first nomination of Aaron T. Bliss for governor brought about, ushering in an era of boodling that put to shame every consideration of political honesty. His second nom­ ination was brought about largely through the patronage of his boodle campaign and “party precedent,” noth­ ing but an overwhelming republican majority in this state, aided by most fortunate political- circumstances, sav­ ing him from merited defeat. . Tom Navin, the ex-convict is the aecognized boss of Wayne county, and his political associations with Franic Andrews, the bank wrecker, led many to believe that the latter would never serve his sentence, Navin also being Gov. Bliss' appointee to the State Board of Pardons and exercising a great influence in the Bliss administra­ tion. A fqw months ago when talk of the parole of Andrews was first com­ menced, It was charged against Gov. Bliss that the parole of Frank C. An­ drews was one of the considerations of Wayne county’s support to the govern­ or for his second nomination. Whether that charge is true or not we do not ■InoW, and probably no one outside of Yhose immediately concerned does £now. Suffice it.to say that in that campaign for a second nomination it was the support of Wayne county that saved Gov. Bliss, and at the hea^of <jhe delegation to tbe state convention Was Tom Naviu, the ex-convict, whom Gov. Bliss appointed. As we say, we do not know that there is any truth in the report, bat Navin's appointment to the pardon board and the parole of Andrews will lead many to believe, that there is more to it than mere rumdr. Whether true or not it emphasizes the Incompetence of Gov. Bliss and justifies ’4very contention thqjt his political enemies have made against him. Tfie pardon of Andrews is to be re­ gretted, not only because it was an outrage upon decency/but also because ft will tend to increase the growing dis respect for law. The poor man who steal* to provide the necessaries of life for his family is invariably made to serve his time in prison, while he sees the rich man who has misappropriated hundreds of thou­ sands, let out on parole. This can only add to the belief that there is one law for the rich and another for the poor. It places the administration of justice tn contempt and the evil effects will Le 'Widespread. Justice is represented to be blindfolded, but parolling such men as Andrews cause grounds for a lurk­ ing suspicion that the blindfold has a big loop hole when a bank wrecker is rip. 'It is a mighty small encourage­ ment to any man to live an honorable life, aud suffer poverty rather than steal, as many of the Savings Bank de­ positors did, only to see tbe man who stole their funds receive a parole. We believe the parole system is being most sadly abused. It may have some good point* to commend It, but the bad features are being worked overtime. ■Here the people of this state are being heavily taxed to sustain courts and to boo that the law la impartially admin­ istered. In the case of Andrews, he was given a fair trial, found guilty and sentenced to 15 yean which he richly merited, when In »tepe the governor, with tbe power to parole, and practlcUly wlpw out the verdict of the jury wd the eentenee ot the court. Ot what 'Jar nee la a eourt and Jury i conditions? Gov. Bliss ’latently stop now with thJ Andrews. He should open ' There is no difficulty in comprehend­ ing why Senator Gorman arraigned the administration upon a charge of having conspired for the secession of Panama from Colombia. He is a political op­ portunist and after deciding upon an end to be sought, has no compunction in the selection of means. So widely is this known that his onslaughts in this case carry but little weight before the country. He Is making campaign thunder and possible presidential back­ ing for next year. But it is puzzling in the light of subsequent develop­ ments, to understand why Senator Hoar accepted rumors as facts and made charges against the president which have since been disproved. There was no evasion on the part of the administration when ail papers re­ lating to the recent revolution in Pa­ nama were called for. No word was sent back to the senate that the wel­ fare of tbe nation demanded the sup-, pression of these papers for the present. They are being promptly supplied and the third Installment has reached the public. This fact places the administration in a good light as showing that it has nothing to conceal from our own peo­ ple or the world. The papers place Colombia in a bad light because they supply the evidence that she was de­ liberately trying to hold up both this government and the Panama Canal Co. She wanted fifteen millions in­ stead of ten from the United Stales, and also wanted ten millions from the company, before confirming the treaty. In other words she attempted to extort a bribe of fifteen millions for granting us the concession which had been agreed upon and promised by her au­ thorized agent Js the result of interna­ tional negotiation. It was a glaring piece of effrontery and bad faith which discredited Colombia and made it nec­ essary to treat with her as a rogue to be watched at every move. The charge that the administration had anything to do with inciting the rebellion of Panama, does not have* a leg to stand upon so far,as the accusa­ tion rests upon the correspondence; and it was there that tbe disgruntled senators said that the evidence would be found. It develops that Panama took a stand for the ratification of the treaty at the very outset It was the open way to her future prosperity and absolutely essential to her best devel­ opment When the matter was first submitted’ to the Colombian congress, and before this government had any reason to suspect anything but a con­ firmation. Panama served notice that she would revolt if the agreement which insured the canal was not enter­ ed into. The fiat went forth before the United States had any occasion to prompt it, even if inclined to do so. Colombia ignored the warning because she could not believe that this govern­ ment would consider any other route, and that she conld put herself 815,000.­ 000 ahead by holding the scheme up until her conseut was given. The sen­ ators who insisted upon having the papers have brought,confusion upon themselves.—Detroit Free Prut. The extent to which the democratic party in Congress will go in what it be­ lieves to be the upbuilding of its party organization, is simply amazing. The democratic party has always been known as a party of opposition, and. it is adding greatly to its reputation. In order to gain what it believee to be something of party advantage it loses sight of the best interests and future development of the country, and seeks to prevent the construction of the Pa* nama canal. No one thing will tend more to the upbuilding and growth of the country than the construction of the Panama canal, but this is all ig­ nored by the democratic members of Congress, who are doing all that they can to defeat the recognition of Pana­ ma, which will embrace the construc­ tion of the canal. We do not believe that the democratic members can ac­ complish what they seek to, although they have behind them the railroad in­ fluence of the country, which recognizes a most active competitor if tbe canal is built The construction of the Pa­ I liberate all thieves > nama canal has been one of the issue* in national eontest; the people want to parole Organizations of women all over tbe country continue to petition the Sen­ ate to expel Reed Smoot, the Mormon member, from its body.

Figures given out by the pension de­ partment show that the old soldiers who survive the rebellion are dying at tbe rate of ninety a day and for the first time in many years the tide has turned and there are more names being taken from the pension roll than are being added to It These figures are startling. Ninety a day means about three regiments of the old veterans being mustered out every month; and with growing age the death rate must continue to increase rapidly. Frank Fox and Frank Manning, two hoboes claiming to bail from Buffalo and Kalamazoo respectively, stole a vair of rubber shoes from Philip Lutz Tuesday. They were arrested, taken before Justice Riker yesterday, plead guilty, and sentenced to 30 days in jail -doubtless just what they wanted. The justices of this city in every possi­ ble case should give hoboes a taste of the Detroit House of Correction.

The smaller one, a pistol shot now adrift iu the lung, was received at James Island, June 1«, 1872, aud struck him squarely in the mouth knocking out many teeth and lodging in the back of the throat, where it remained for many yean and finally worked its way Into the lung.

The Portland Observer relates the following queer tale of domestic woe In Its last bsse: Six jeers ago A. C. Johnson, to Orteant, married Jennie Lounsbiiry. of that township. Soon after tbe marriage Johnson went to the wilds of Braail in search of gold, and some time after that report came back that Johnson had died- of fever. Hia wife didn't wait kmg after the re­ ported death of her hasband before she married again. Now Johnson has come back and has bad his wife, who had moved to St. Lotos, Mo.,, arrested for, bigamy, as he cbairns he has evid­ ence that she knew be was not dead when rfhe married her present husband. Johnson has also begun suit In this county against his mother-in-law to re­ cover §000 which be claims he had ad­ vanced her in years gone by to pay claims against her husband’s estate. Since doing the above business John­ son has been arrested and lodged in jail for horse stealing. James Rhein died at the state asy­ lum, ia Kalamaaoo Saturday afternoon, after spending two years there, during which he never uttered a word, until a short time before his death. He was picked up on the streets of Grand Rap­ ids July 10; root, unable to speak. He was declared insane aud was sent to the Kalamazoo asylum under the name of John Doe, his name and residence being entirely unknown. He was in fair physical condition and seemed likely to live for years. Last week he was taken with pulmonary tuberculosis and in the fever of tbe disease several times called for “water,” to quench his thirst. About noon Saturday he came to himself for a short time and with difficulty gave his name as James Rhein and his home as Fort Wayne. Rhein was about 35 years old and has parents and a brother and sister, living in Fort Wayne; Tbe cause of the peculiar condition that seut him to the asylum is unknown. At the dedication of tbe new Pres­ byterian church at Caro Sunday, 810,­ 000 was raised which practically wipes out the debt.

More and more farmers are coming to recognize that there is a limit to what they can do, and that they cannot expect to continue tbe active pursuits of youth, when they were strong and vigorous. Many of them who have reached old age, and have accumulated a competence, are getting away from,bard work by mov­ ing to the cities to enjoy a well earned rest and spend the evening of life in ease and quiet.

The first step in this direction al­ ready has been taken by several £o« eign powers, through their representstivese here, who have Informed Gen­ eral Rafael Reyes of the {utility of any attempt by Colombia to retake Pan ama, declaring that it will result orb In precipitating the Bogota govern ment into war with lhe United States, and have said to him that the result ot such a castrophe Colombia herself must realize. If this is not sufficient, the representatives of these countries at Bogota will be instructed to inform President Marroquin that Colombia can expect no sympathy from tbe E” ropean powers in any move she may make on Panama which would I” evltably involve here in war with the United States. The members of the diplomatic corps have been Informed by General Reyes himself that he fears he can with difficulty check u.s people much longer. What he most fears Is the result of the announcement at Bogota of the failure of his mission. He him self realizes thar the most he can hope for from the government of the United States is an offer that it will use moral suasion to prevail on Panama to assume her portion of the Colombi­ an debt. Further, General Reyes has been told he can expect nothing. I came to Washington to save what I could from a shipwreck," he said to a diplomat of high rank. * Several ambassadors have earnestly advised the general to Impress on his people the fact that Europe wants the Isthmian canal and that Colombia can expect no sympathy from that quar­ ter. It is hoped that the receipt of this news in Bogota will do much to calm the feeling there and hold the Colom­ bians in check until General Reyes can return. KINE PERSONS KILLED.

Derby, a machinist and about 45 yean - ? .1 his Kia ^atytllv old. exterminated family rfearler early Qsen. Sun-'* day by shooting his wife, his three children and then himsolf. The crime is believed to have been due to de­ spondency over the Impoverished con­ dition of the family purse and the near approach of Christmas. The crimes were extraordinary in their thoroughness and there was, evi­ dently no mishap in their enactment The wife was killed flrat while sleep­ ing at her husband’s side in bed; two of the children were killed as they ran hither and thither through the house in the darkness of early morn­ ing endeavoring to escape their merci-, less parent. The third child was killed in its bed. after his elder brother and sister had been-killed. The dead: Roscoe W. Derby, Della Derby, his wife; Harold Derby, aged 8; Alice Derby, aged 7; Thimas Derby, aged 5. z. The first knowledge of the crime was communicated in a letter written by Perby Friday to a friend who lived not far away and which was sent by special delivery. The letter was to the effect that when it had been re­ ceived the Derby family would be dead. When the friend hurried to the house all that had been promised was seen to have been fulfilled. ttehmgBlReiingPiles Are instantly relieved by a free application of tbe Cooling, Soothing, < Antiseptic Healing Remedy, Paracamph It prevents Itching, stops Bleeding and relieves the Pain by penetrating to the source of the trouble, quickly Cooling and Soothing the injured nerves and drawing out all Fever and Inflammation.

The small model having but two sets of wings was used in a trial test, and the wing action which is on the same principle a* the flight of a bird, was very suc­ cessful, and raised the small ship some distance above the floor and carried it several rods. Douglas* has decided to build a full sized model as soon as possible, so confident is he of the suc­ cess of his invention. The new ship will be 38 feet in length and will be operated by four se ta .of big wings. The makers of the machine, viho witnessed the trial stated that they believed the invention would be a grand success, and Mr. Douglass is so confident of the good qualities of his machine that he believes that he will win out in the contest of aerial navigators at the St. Louis exposition, whioh he has entered. The oldest person in Caihoun county is Jo*h Cahow, now in the county house. He is 110 years old. He is as queer as he is old. He is a native of New York and worked for many year* on tbe Erie canal. He came co that county many years ago and built a cabin on the edge of a marth near Pine Creek, in Leroy township. He was not fond of work, bat he loved whiskey. He defied all laws of hygiene and sani­ tation, living on the edge of a marsh where there was malaria enough to kill a dozen men. There was no floor in his cabin and only a stove, bed, one table and one chair. Cahow’s only companions were cats. He always had about 20 in his cabin, all black ones. These he talked to and visited with as if they were human and. In fact, It is stated that the old man believed in the transmigration of souls and imagined that the souls of his old chums on the Erie canal had possession of the cats. The old fellow was always very strange and mysterious in his actions and made no friends.

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.
