The latter showed that be had the courage and determination to keep the former above compromise. In­ deed Thorpe’s ideals were no less unre­ lenting than his method of backing them up. He also had a heart Several little affaire bad made him aware of the existence of that organ, but of its real nature, its capacity for untold pleasure and Its potentiality of untold pain, he was quite unaware until be met Emily Royce at the Berrys’ bouse party. Then there began strange proceedings In his cardiac region, the like of which he had never before experienced. He rode with her through the autumn laaea be shot with her in the autumn woods. The world and its cares were somewhere far away, and life was very new and strange and altogether charm­ ing. It was the evening of the impromptu dance that Thorpe came back to earth with a shock. He and Emily were seated behind a screen of friendly palms. Some one was playing a Waldteufel waltz on the piano, and the swish of skirts and the click of dainty shoes on the polished floor came in pleasant rhythm. They had drifted from the shallows of commonplace talk into deeper waters. Her cheeks wore scarlet and her eyes had dropped to the fox skin rug at her feeL Tbe words were on the edge of his tongue, but they were never Bald, for suddenly the square jaw set, the shoulders* went back, and Thorpe in his masterful way was suggesting that they take a turn or two In the waltz. That night, in tbe seclusion of his own room, Thorpe lit a cigarette and communed with himself. That Emily Jloycc was the one woman in the world he would ever care for be admitted frankly. But Emily Royce was the heiress to a round million, and Thorpe’s assets were merely a promising array of prospects. There was but oue course left to him. and as be lit another ciga­ That a given occupation is pursued for sport and no longer as a means of livelihood does not necessarily with­ draw It from the category of things useful for training. The natural boy’s pursuit of frogs, -birds aud woodchucks is a survival of a habit Indispensable to primitive man. Hunting and fish­ ing v.-c-re the most necessary means of livelihood for savages. They are pursued now us sports as well us for livelihood, and there is good training in them when practiced merely as sports. They teach civilized man alert­ ness, accuracy of observation, quick­ ness of action, endurance and patience, just as they developed these valuable qualities in generations of savages, who never knew what humanism, al­ truism and idealism were. The justifi cation of unproductive athletic sports, like ball games, races of all sorts and dancing, lies in the facts that they de­ velop in civilized man some of the in­ valuable qualities which hunting and fishing developed, in savages and that they recreate and revive in people who lead the unnatural- life of civilization the power for useful work. They also defend young people against laziness and vice by affording pleasurable activ­ ities and Innocent gladness.—President Charles W. Eliot in Atlantic.

"Don’t skulk behind the bushes in that fashion.” And, fore­ stalling his arrival by telegram, he left late Saturday afternoon for Barry’s place.

Thorpe was thinking vaguely that this meeting would only make the faturn leas co- A prominent Scottish member of par­ liament, when addressing a large audi­ ence recently, touched on the subject of labor aud advocated that a more kindly bond of feeling should exist be­ tween employer and employee. Just then a man—a political opponent to all appearance—rose up in the middle of the hall, and in a loud, scoffing voice cried: "How do you treat your own work­ men? Long hours and short pny. I should know, for I was one of them.” For a moment the member of parlia­ ment was nonplused by the sudden­ ness of this charge, while tbe audience eagerly awaited developments. Then, looking hard at his interrupter, be inqulred amid a breathless* silence: "Were you employed in my Glasgow works?” retorted the other deflantly.

' * to Utilise Them. Marketing for two is altogether dif­ ferent from ordering for a famly of ten or even four. One young matron to her little nest of a home with one maid found that with her small family the right sort of a beefsteak seemed Im­ possible at first, for they were satis­ fied with nothing less than a “thick cut" of tbe sirloin of heavy beef; but her butcher explained to her how to cut off tbe tough end to use in different ways, leaving the best part enough for two fine- steaks for her family. She learned to use' the tongb end-to the fol­ lowing ways: Chopped, seasoned and baked for a ”^cef loaf;*’ chopped, broil­ ed in one large hamburg steak, serving with mushrooms, or made Into small balls, heated quickly In a very hot spi­ der, serving with tomato sauce .and French fried potatoes, or use the piece whole, stuffing with a rich bread dress­ ing, roll, lard and fasten with skewers and roast to the oven, basting often. This resembles a fillet Itself. She kept a four or five pound piece of £^rm ba­ con in the house. With their light breakfast they liked a taste of c: Lap ba­ con every morning and served it with many dishes. Thin slices of bacon browned crisp in a hot oven are very appetizing served on top of the steak, aa little sausages go well as a garnish to a well browned turkey. The bacon was quite a necessary adjunct to their chafing dish suppers. Once in awhile Jack called for his favorite stew, and this cheap but good dinner made up for the more expen­ sive. She bought one pound of the neck of lamb or oue pound of round steak cut up. She taught herself and then her maid to make a savory stew. The ‘‘pot roast,” using twb pounds off the under round, or flank of beef, was a good change with its tender dump­ lings.

Jackson, Mich.. Jan. 5.—Fire broke out In the Central high school build­ ing, West Main street, Monday after­ aeon Just as the pupils were gathering in their respective rooms. Four hundred pupils wsre In the building st the time. The fire started in the middle of the large building at Ibt furnace register in the front of the main stairway, so that in a few minutes egress by that route was at­ tended with danger. The teacher who discovered the fire —Jennie Colgrove, formerly of Han­ over—gave the alarm, and in less then a minute all the teachers knew of the danger. With coolness the teachers ordered their pupils to their seats and, when quiet, ordered them to take their books and march quietly from the building by the east stair­ way. This they did. and no one war hurt. Some failed to take their books not seeing the necessity therefor, ano when out on the grounds the reason became apparent, they rushed back. A few got in the building, but the teachers ore’ered these scholars back from the entrances, and they obeyed. The interior of tbe building was badly burned, creating a loss of >5,000, covered by insurance. Fire caught in the floor near the center of the ven­ tilating system, and the airways to all parts of the building served to rapidly spread the flames. Detroit, Midi..

POTTEM. L. SKRGEAJTT, Gen’l Mgr. Traffic Mgr. Supt. New York, Jan. 5.-—Democrat* of prominence from the dty, state and nation assembled here Monday night at the dinner* at Sheirys. in honor of George B. McClellan, the newly In­ stalled mayor of New York city. Tbe speakers included Mayor MeCl<riu>, Richard Oln^c David B. Hill, Charles A. Tcu-iwi Tdwne and (tonirreasman congressman Dearmond. Ex-Congressman F. Bourke Cockran acted as toastmaster. Former Governor David B. Hill was greeted with, loud applause when in his introductor remark* he eulogized the leadership of Charles F. Murphy and predicted that Mayor McClellan would succeed him as governor of the state and precede him in the White House. Continuing, Mr. Hill said: •Thoughtful citizens, solicltou* for the welfare of their country, view with apprehension the dangerous tendencies of the public policies which are either approved, or tolerated*, by the party in power in the nation. They see the best traditions of the government pt aside or Ignored, while a course of intrigue and dis­ honor in international matters is reck­ lessly and shamelessly entered 11 bon. The fair fame of the country 1* being greatly tarnished in a strenuous effort I for personal glory at the expense of truth and consistency. It baa ever been in the past the pride and boast of our republic that weaker nations have been cafe from attacks from up, and that in our intercourse with other governments the spirit of national brotherhood has always been culti­ vated rather than destroyed.” Mr. Hih characterized the course of President Roosevelt in the Panama af­ fair as "a specie* of contemptible machination unworthy of the head of a great nation,’’ prompted by personal ambition and a desire to startle and dazxle the people; "part and parcel of a political scheme to prematurely force his own nomination for the presidency and to preclude the consideration of the name of any Other candidate within his own party” and "a cheap and transparent play to the galleries.” Congress, .he safd, alone has power to declare war. and yet the spectacle, is presented at this hour of the naval , forces of the United States being ' used to prevent a sister republic from exercising thq lawful function of supnrnet'l.irr awalwcf <»« pressing aa rohnlllnn rebellion against its legiti­ mate authority within Its own borders. Hill then took up the monetary, con­ dition. "We should declare, he said, "that we are opposed to any system of taxation that raises hundreds of millions of dollars more than is nec­ essary to pay the expenses of the gov­ ernment and locks the same In the vaults of the'’treasury, thereby con­ tracting the circulating medium of the country that la needed by the people in the transaction of their business, creating a stringency in the financial .centers of our country, and compelling merchants aud manufacturers to pay exorbitant rates of interest."

Mountains of gold could not purchase such testimony—or take the place of the health and happiness which Lydia E. Pijdkhain*s Vegetable Compound brought to Mrs. Hayes. Such testimony should be accepted by all women as convincing evidence that Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound stere a without a peer as a remedy for all the distressing ills of women; all ovarian troubles; tumors; inflammations; ulceration, falling and dwplacements of the womb; backache; irregular, suppressed or painful menstruation. Surety 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 Vegetable Compound is so genuine and heartfelt that she thinks no trouble is too great for her to take in return for her health and happiness.

According to the Inventor, he has devised, a revolving propeller of “flexible whalebone, made compact with malleable aboes. case hardened on the bottom. Tbe shafting is flexible, so tliat It will give to an uneven surface." Creepers will be used to start tbe sleigh, and they will be lifted up as soon as the aleigh is in mo­ tion.

The sleigh runners are very broad, and the sleigh is covered with an alumini­ um and paper house. The entire weight of his twelve horse power automobile sleigh Is only 310 pounds . President Roosevelt, in his annual message, stated that for the last Qscal year there had been 25,566 persons ap­ pointed through competitive examina­ tions under Civil Service rules. This was 12,672 more than for any previous year, and forty per cent of all who passed the examinations. There will be a Post Office examination in this city the first Wednesday or Saturday after May 1. There will be examina­ tions in several places in this state for railway mall clerks, stenographers and many other positions during March and April. The Columbian Correspondence College at Washington, D.

Washington, Jan. 11.—PoetmasterGeneraJ H. C. Payne has submitted to th® president his annual report of the postoffice department fvr the fiscal year ended June 30, 1903. The report refers briefly to the postai frauds, the investigation not bav­ ins been completed at the cloee of the fiscal year. More than forty inspec­ tors were detailed for this work, with the result that seventeen officials were separated from the service by resigna­ tion or removal. Forty-four indict­ ments were found and thirty-one per­ sons arrested, ten of whom had been connected with the postal service. Total receipts from all sources were 1134,224.443 24 and" expenditures were 1138,784,48717. . On the subject of salaries of rural mail carriers the poetmaster-general says: “Under the law the salary of rural carriers cannot exceed $690 per an­ num, and no other allowance can be made, but it Is provided that they shall not be prohibited from doing an express package business. The ulti­ mate result of permitting carriers to transact express package business Is great loss of revenue to the depart­ ment and constant annoyances from complaints of merchants and publish­ ers. In many Instances the delivery of •mail Is now a secondary matter, the express package bualness being regarded by the carriers as the more Important part of his work. "ft Is therefore recommended that rural carriers be restricted to tbe dis­ charge of their official duties, the same as cl th’ carriers, as prescribed by the department, and to provide a com-, pen sal ion qommensurate with the ser­ vice performed.’’ REMARKABLE JAIL BREAKER.

Tbe ice in all directions was broken, many large pieces being thrown upon the island. The general appearance of the ledge is not changed materially, but a large quantity of tbe fallen rock will have to be removed before the steamer can find a passage through the channel.

At the commencement of the second campaign It was announced with a great flourish and blare of trumpets, that Gov. Bliss had given twenty thousand dollars conditioned, etc., to helpliquidate a heavy debt on Albion College. Now, why this sudden and ardent love for die college? The debt had long rested as an incubus on the institution, discouraging its managers and hindering its prosperity. A long and expensive campaign was just open­ ing up to the governor, so that it would be most inopportune to invest heavily in benevolent enterprises. Why did he not think of the “wants of Albion before? And why just at this time? There was the prohibition vote that President Dickey controlled, and It was well knevrn that he was a bitter oppon­ ent of the republican party, and if his mouth could be stopped, and the vote of the prohibition party secured, his political interests secured, and the charge of boodle avoided. Circumstantial evidence is convinc­ ing and convicts. I said a moment ago Gov. Bliss could hardly afford to invest in benev­ olences at such a time. And he could not.

(Notice change of date by request of bureau.) • The programs offered by the quar­ tette consist of an entire evening de­ voted to high class concert selections, or a short concert program and the second act of Martha, given in costume with scenic effect, either of which has proven very satisfactory. The latter will be given here. Each member of the Quartette is a soloist of high standing, aud the splen­ did ensemble work presented is the re­ sult of many years association together, combined with almost constant prac­ tice. The programs; while of a high class, have been arranged with such care thdt they contain plenty of the lighter style of music and are calculated to please not only the serious musician but the casual amateur as well. The quartette was organized in 1895 to accompany Mr. Wm. H. Sherwood, the great pianist on his tours throughout the country. The committee is very sorry to have to inform the patrons of the Lecture Course thatowing to differences occurring between Mr. Sherwood and the Bureau Mr. Sherwood will not ap­ pear here with the company as prom ised at the last entertainment. The offer of Mr. Sherwood’s appearance was a gratuitous one on the part of the Bureau and we shall have in the Quar­ tette all we bargained for or expected when tickets were sold, so we have no complaints to make, only that of false expectations raised. In a letter re­ ceived from Mr. Sherwood he regrets that he cannot keep the promise made for him by the BureaU, which he claims is no fault of his, and that he would be glad to come here at some future time and give a recital either alone or with another artist from their conservatory. The concert will be at Reed’s Opera House, beginning at 8 o’clock. Patrons will not be seated ex­ cept between numbers. Board for re­ served seat sale will open at Fred L. Heath’s at 7 o’clock Tuesday morning, Jan. 26th. Reserved seats 10 cts. Admission, 50 cts; students admission, 35 cts. Tickets for sale at lleath's and Communication. Hastings Banner, Hastings, Mich. In a copy of your paper sent me, I noticed the enclosed clipping. Right now If the old pioneers of this county only bad some of those choice walnut and butternut trees they put on the log heap and burned up when they cleared their farms, or some of those choice oak trees that they split up into fence rails, they would be worth a lot of money. Good timber is getting to be a very scarce article in this section, and com­ mands a pretty good price. Recently Lafayette Knowles, residing near Carlten, sold the standing timber on his farm for 82150, to parties in Clarks­ ville. In addition to the goo J price paid by them, it will cost the purchas­ ers 85 per 1,000 feet to transport the timber to their factory, a distance of six miles. The state ought to be doing something to encourage re foresting. Something must certainly be done to offset the enormous consumption of timber In this country. Steel and ce­ ment are largely taking the place of lumber in large building operations, which has reduced the den^and for lum­ ber to a certain extent. 1 beg leave to call your attention to the fact that the State of Michigan has established a Forestry Commission, whose work is for the express purpose of arousing a sentiment in favor of reforestation. At the last session of the legislature, a hill was passed setting aside three townships of land in Roscommon and Crawford counties for this Commission to demonstrate the advisability of re­ planting and protecting from tire the cdt over lands of Northern Michigan. A sufficient sum was appropriated to carry out the purposes of the act. Acting under that authority, the Commission have secured the services of the noted forestry expert, Professor Both, who has taken charge of this territory, and we hope in time to show the people of the state good results ftom the money appropriated. ?The Japt session of the legislature was also asked to partially exempt from taxation any lands that might be devoted exclusively to forest growths, but the time was evidently not ripe for such legislation, as it failed to pass* either house.

All theaters must open on at least two public thoroughfares. No theater to be more than twelve feet above street level. Stairway space In each balcony to bo at least twenty Inches for every 100 seats. Some of these provisions, notably that requiring that the building shall adjoin at least two public thorough­ fares, will compel the reconstruction of several leading theaters in Chicago. A strong fight was made to have this section of the ordinance read “one public thoroughfare and one public or private alley," but the modification was defeated. The provision fixing the maximum height above the street at twelve feet will probably close two prominent downtown playhouses and a number of outlying theaters. Some of these are at least twenty feet above the street. THE REAL QUESTION.

V How anxious women ought to be to give their children the blessing of a ' good constitution I Many women long for a child to bleu their home, but because of some debility or displacement of the female organs, they are barren. Preparation for healthy maternity is accomplished by Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound more successfully than by any other medicine, because it gives tone and strength to tbe parts, curing all displacements and inflammation. Actual sterility in woman is very rare. If any woman thinks she is sterile, let her write to Mrs. Pinkham, Lynn, Mass, whose advice is given free to all expectant or would-be mothers.

It Uabsorbed. Fort Wayne, Mich., Jan. 19.—Gen­ eral Prisoner Warren, better known as “Kansas,’’ was shot In the back and leg Monday afternoon while making a das for Canada and liberty. That Gent *al Prisoner Richardson did do: receive a like dose was due to the fact that he bad a belter start and waa shot at after Warren was wounded. The two men were under the charge of Private Stanford of Company H, who is about 20 years of age. The prisoners were working on tbe road that continues to the river from Artil­ lery avenue and with their guard were beside the old canteen and across from the hospital when, according to a pre­ arranged signal, they made a dash. Warren, a big, overgrown Texas man, started for the river. In order to con­ fuse the guard Richardson started to­ ward River street. Warren had reached a point about fifty feet away when he waa called upon to halt three times by Guard Stanford. This but hurried him along and Stanford, raising his Krag” to an alm, pulled the trigger. The cartridges used by guards for prisoners are dif­ ferent from the usual ammunition In that they carry two bullets Instead of one and their effectiveness is greatly lessened. Both balls struck the flying prisoner, however, and he fell to the ground. Failed to Hit Him. Stanford then turned his attention to Richardson and fired twic£ at him. His alm was either poor or else the charge would not carry far enough to be effective, and Stanford’s shots proved ineffective. Richardson had no sooner reached the gate when Ser­ geant Webster, who was walking on the other side of River street, hearing • the shots, started for the post to in­ vestigate. He caught Richardson as he waa turning out at the gate and se­ cured him after a brief struggle. Warren was taken to the post hos­ pital, where Dr. Holmes extracted the two bullets, while Richardson waa taken to the guardhouse. Warren’s wounds are painful but not necessarily dangerous. Private Stanford was also ordered to the guardhouse until the facts in tbe case can be investigated, by the officers. Warren deserted from the regiment shortly after it arrived at Fort Wayne but gave himself up at Toledo about two weeks ago and was awaiting trial. Richardson escaped from Fort Wayne several months ago while a prisoner in charge of Sentry Bradley. He । recaptured In northern Michigan and was awaiting trial. UAY Ilo 1 PPVEZR ‘I Dear Mrr.

I Now that Hyomel can be obtained in nearly every town and cky in the conn I try, — it *is-----• possible to buy from druggists > -» a health giving climate, to be carried in | the purse or pocket By breathing it a few minutes four times a day you can rood cure grip, coughs, colds and even the worst and most chronic casee of catarrh. W. J. Holloway has seen so many re­ markable cures made by the Hyome! treatment, that he sells It with the pos­ itive agreement to return the money If it fails to cure. A complete outfit coats but >1, and consists of the pocket inhaler, medi­ cine dropper and sufficient Hyomel to last several weeks. It effects a cure in the worst ca­ tarrhal troubles and If breathed at the commencement of a cold or the grip, will check it quickly and prevent sick­ ness. Extra bottles of Hyomel can be obtained for 50c. When breathed through the inhaler, the germ-killing and health giving Hy­ omei goes to the most remote cells of the throat and lungs, killing all the ca­ tarrhal germs, earthing the irritated mucous membrane ana vitalizing the blood with ozone.

Bush, the accommo­ dating station agent in this city, we are enabled to place before our readers the following authentic statement of the business done by the M. C. R. R. Co., at their station in this city during the year 1879. The increase over the year 1878 we believe about 25 per cent, indicates the business prosperity of the country Induced by tbe resumption of specie payments: Freight forward­ ed from Hastings 22,441,298 pounds. M. C. earnings on same 828,722.38, the same being 569 care wheat, 109 flour, 153 lumber, 38 stock, 57 care miscellan­ eous freight. The exact weight of wheat iu 569 cars as weighed into ele­ vators at Detroit is 13,116,146 pounds equal to 218,602 bushels, 26 pounds. Average cost of the same per bushel for the year to the buyer In this city was just about $1.00, showing that over 8300,000 was paid out for wheat by the Hastings buyers in the year 1879. In addition to the above freight for­ warded there has been shipped to the M. O. R. R. Co., 112 cars timber and lumber which tonnage does not show above and for which there is no earn­ ings shown. Theee care will average 5,500 per car, at an average cost of •11D0 per M. making 88,776 paid for material, labor etc, which amount is left iu tbe bands of citizens of Has­ tings and surrounding country. There were also 39,949 ties bought at the sta­ tion, for which the M. C. B. B. Co., paid 811,701.29. Freight received at Hastings. 11,981.988 M. C. MOTinp oo same S11L864.29.

This artist with whom Miss Rorabeck sttidied for a time, highly commends her artistic ability and has offered to recommend to her as pupils all persons who apply to him for lessons and do not feel able to meet his seemingly exorbitant prices. Studios in the Auditorium are un­ usually hard to secure and there is a well known saying to the effect that to engage a studio there one must wait for some artist occupant to die. The chance for the young Kalamazoo artist is most excellent from a financial standpoint as she will command the teaching price for lessons of 82.00 an hour. She is highly deserving of tbe good fortune which has come her way as she has attained an excellent com­ mand of the technicalities of art en­ tirely through her own efforts and ap­ plication to study. Her natural talent along art lines she has developed by making the most of every opportunity which her aptitude created. Her educational advantages in art have been of the best. She completed a four years’ academic course at the Art irfstitute in Chicago and has re­ ceived honorable mention a number of times for the excellence of her work. The true worth of her artistic efforts have been highly appreciated and favor­ ably commented upon by the art col­ umns of the leading publications. She has also studied with F. B. Aulick of Chicago and George Leyuf of Detroit. For the past six months she has been conducting classes and doing order work in Kalamazoo. During her stay in Chicago she will continue her order work for her Kalamazoo patrons and will continue her portrait work under Frederick Freer of Chicago, who is one of the finest portrait painters in the west. Miss Rorabeck leaves for Chi­ cago, Friday, Jan. 29 When she is es­ tablished in her new quarters she will conduct ceramic water color and figure classes. There will be but one other teacher in the Auditorium building be­ sides Miss Rorabeck who gives lessons in figure work.

Pub­ lic Buildings Must Have Certificate in Writing from City Officials Since the Iroquois fire in Chicago, cities and towns all over the country have been enacting ordinances relative to the safe equipment of public build­ ings, in case of fire or sudden alarm. Hastings has already taken precaution­ ary steps as regards the High school building which Is to be provided with fire escapes. Considerable inquiry is heard as to. the iaw, if there was any, regarding public buildings. The stat­ utes regarding the matter, is very clear and explicit on that point: (5526) Section 1. The people of the State of Michigan enact, That it shall be unlawful for any hall, theatre, opera house, church, school house, Or building of any kind whatsoever in any city or incorporated village, to be used for the assemblage of people unless the same is provided with ample means for .the safe and speedy egress of the persons therein assembled in case of alarm. (5527) Section 2. That in all cities and incorporated villages it shall be uulawful ,fqr any person or persons, so ciety, corporation, or Individual what­ soever, who may be the owner or own ere of or have the control of any hall, theatre, opera house, church, school house, or building of whatsoever kind, to use or permit the same to be used for schools or public assemblages of people, unless said person or persons, society, corporation, or individual shall have, from the authorities hereinafter designated, of the city or incorporated village in which said hall, theatre, opera house, church, school house, or building is situated, a certificate-in writing cer­ tifying that they have examined the said hall, theatre, opera house, or build­ ing, as the case may be, and that the same is well and sufficiently provided with means of speedy and safe egress for public assemblage! in cases of dan­ ger or sudden alarm. The Revival Meetings. dent’s call to order was followed by roll call, and the regular routine of business. The matter of continuing the supervision of the reading room was agreed upon and the committee in ebarge will soon give our publicspirited citizens an opportunity of as­ sisting in the support of this worthy project. Mrs. VanAuken and Mrs. Margaret Bailey wore appointed critics for the afternoon. After a brief intermission Mrs. Ella Heeox read ^an historical paper upon that stirring event in the Civil War, ■Sherman's March to the Sea.” Mrs. Wykqm had character sketches of tie two noted generals “U. S. Grant and Robert E.Lee,” and Miss Charlotte VanAuken read a bright paper upon the “Salutary Effect of Hobbies,” which was discussed by several Club women. Miss Clara Henderson kindly added to the enjoyment of all by play­ ing, “Tam O’Shanter’s Ride” with much expression. The music fairly inter­ prets the title. Hearty applause was given Miss Hendershott. The next meeting of the Club will be Friday afternoon, Feb. 5th. THE DEADLY CIGARETTE Startling Conditions Discovered In the Chicago Schools. pigarette smoking is held responsible by the medical examiners of the Chi­ cafro school board for a startling in­ crease in heart disease and other ail­ ments among students in the high schools. The condition said to exist was revealed by a large number of ex­ aminations recently conducted in the schools among candidates for admis­ sion to the various athletic sports. Boys and girls were subjected to the same examination, and one of the strik­ ing features of the result was that not one girl was found unable to pass, while a large number of the boys, in al­ most every case smokers, were found to be in a physical condition which made violent exercise of any kind ex­ As announced last week union re-1 vival meetings began last Sunday under the direction of Evangelist Walter Russell of Toronto, Canada.

Three of the rescuers, Becker, Smith and Walkenerst. when they returned to the surface, declared that in their opinion all in the mine, outside of the rescue party, are dead, including Taylor, the engineer. H.. F. Hutchinson, who gave out the lamps to the miners before they went to work in the pit thia morning, said: Between 180 and 190 Lamps. “At 7:15 o’clock, the time when the whistles blow and when everyone la supposed to be at work at the mine, I had given out between 180 and 190 lamps." “That was one lamp to a man?” "Did any of those lamps come back?” "Not one.” There is a light in every cottage In the Httle hamlet above the pit mouth. There is still a crowd about the mouth of the shaft, but It will probably be hours before the full extefit of the catastrophe is known. FIRE DAMP ENTOMBS MINERS.

In order to facil­ itate the handling of mail matter by tbe rural carrier it behooves the farm­ er to erect as convenient a receptacle as possible, and it is an Invention of this character which we have illus­ trated herewith, it has the faculty of opening and closing automatically, ac­ cording to the position in which it is placed, being balanced on tbe post so that It will assume a vertical or hori­ zontal position. When empty tbe box should be sus­ pended as shown in the dotted lines, with the pendent weight bolding the lid of the box open. When mail matter Is Inserted by the carrier or owner of the box tbe receptacle Is given a push with the hand and assumes an upright position, giving a signal to either the , carrier or farmer. Thus if the latter has no letters to be mailed the position of the box will Indicate it to the car­ rier: likewise If the carrier hns no mail to deliver the position of tbe box will remain unchanged, saving n trip from the house to the road to examine tbe Cressey.

FREE MEDICAL ADVICE TO YOUNG GIRLS. All young girls at this period of life are earnestly invited te write Mrs. Pinkham for ml vice; she has guided in a motherly way hundreds of young women; her advice is freely and cheerfully' given, anti her address is Lynn, Mass. Judging from the letters she is receiving from eo many young girls Mrs, Pinkham believes that our girls are often pushed altogether too near the limit of their endurance nowadays in our public schools and seminaries. Nothing is allowed to interfere with studies, the girl must be pushed to the front and graduated with honor; often physical collapse follows, and it takes years to recover the lost vitality,— often it is never recovered.

Thereto nothing oouto be slicker, every perwoa who knows beano CHECK ON INVENTORS. It was formerly tbe custom to refer to the United States patent office as the fool’s paradise, from the fact that the Inventive crank could always have his vanity flattered by receiving a gov­ ernment patent on a device, no matter how wild or Impracticable It was, pro­ vided, of course, he could pay the requlred fee. All this Is changed now. and In order to obtain a patent on an Invention it must be proved to be use­ ful and capable of practical operation. This change in the policy of the pat­ ent office is made necessary by the tre­ mendous amount of business that it Is doing. The rush to secure patents on j every conceivable device and scheme is getting greater and greater every year. In the old days all that the ex­ aminers did was to satisfy themselves that the claim was original and that the fee was paid, whereupon a patent would issue. But tbe government has granted dose on to 1,000.000 patents, and the amount of labor Involved In searching the files to compare new demands claims with actual patents . that a more conservative policy be adopted. This Is getting to be a serious prob­ lem in Itself, for the rapid accumula­ tion of applications and patents, both domestic and foreign, promises to swamp the officials of the government unless something is done to check the granting of useless patents. Steps have lately beed taken to improve the sys­ tem of classifying patents, which will simplify tbe work of attorneys and ex­ aminers alike. Tbe balancing of driving wheels of locomotives Is avoided in some new eight wheel engines built by the Lon­ don and Southwestern railway, Eng­ land. These engines, which are for fast passenger service, have inside cyl­ inders and crank axles. The axles are I of the built up type, webe extend Lx-ipwl tbe Mie, belM enlarged so us to form balance weights. All the revolving weights and part of the reciprocating weights are balanced in the axle. Other features of these engines are Mr. Drummond’s system of transverse tubes through the firebox, and tenders carried on two four wheel trucks Instead of on three rigid axles, as tn the ordinary English practice. The new boat of M. Turc of the French navy designed to pass through the waves without roll or pitch is de­ scribed as n combination of submarine and high platform. The submarine Is 300 feet long. ‘75 feet wide and 12 feet deep and is to contain boilers, engines and steering gear, which will be sub­ merged to a depth of twelve feet From tbe submarine will rise vertically two floaters, sixty-five feet apart each 200 feet long and 10 feet wide.

Prof. Mitchell will address the Chris­ tian Temperance meeting at Red Rib­ bon Hall, Sunday afternoon. Well, for a few days past we have had winter weather, except the snow part, and that may follow. We hope so. Mr. Z. B. Willison was called to Hickory Corners on Monday last, hav­ ing received news that his mother was lying at the point of death. * Mrs. Tillie Cook has moved her dress­ making shop to the residence of John Dennis on Green street, where she will continue the business. )r. Upjtahn takes this opportunity to urn his thanks to those who respondto the call of the fire alarm so promptly on the day that the chimney burned out at his residence. Henry Brown Esq., of Orangeville, Capt. J. H. Earl, of the same town­ ship, and H. A. Walker, of Martin, Allegan Co., have all paid a visit to the Banner yiis week. Thanks, gentle­ men, call again. The Rev. and Mrs. D. R. Shoop de­ sire us to tender their sincere jthanks to the donors for the very liberal donation of 879. left for them at the parsonage on the evening of January 23d. The High School social will be held at the residence of Hon. D. R. Cook Friday evening next. A general invita­ tion is extended to all, and a grand good time may be expected. Last evening Frank Main’s big dog "Jack” bit little Charlie, son of Jas. L. Wilkins, in the face. We learn that Mr. Wilkins attempted to kill the dog. but whether he succeeded ‘we are not in­ formed. ** We were called to the northern part of Irving towuship on Monday, and we could not help uoticing the splendid ap­ pearance of the wheat fields. Should no misfortune overtake them during the next two months, the crops in the county will be entirely unprecedented. It seems that we never heard so many people complaining of hard colds as we have in the last two weeks, Those who have not bad colds are complain­ ing of rheumatism. Chas. S. Phillips, of Woodland, a young man of prominence in his town­ ship, and a gentleman of irreproach­ able character, died at his home on Thursday of last weekjof consumption. Mr. Frank Bo.van has returned from the west, where lie went nearly a year ago to survey oh the Co’uncil Bluffs and St. Louis R. R. The new dry goods firm of J. S. Goodyear and Will Hayes, as announc­ ed in the Banner by their quarter col­ umn ad., is in every],way pleasing to the hosts of friends and customers of the firm. Mr. Goodyear has for many years been in the mercantile business in this city, and has been favorably known as an honest, square dealing man. Mr. Will Hayes the new member ■of the firm is a man of excellent busi­ ness qualifications, and is also well known throughout the county for his sterling integrity, uprightness of char­ acter, for manliness and honesty. The best wishes of their many friends at­ tend them. f Gcbman Ball —The Germans in this county have organized a Mutual Beneficiary Society under the name of ‘Hastings Arbeiter Unterstuetzungs Verein" whose object isjtofpay benefits to its members in case of sickness or death. They have made^'all arrange­ ments for a grand ball, to come off on the 9th day of February next (being Fastnachtf (Mardi Gras) Eve) at Union Hall, for the benefit of the Society. We have spared no expense to make this the grandest ball of the season. We have engaged Squlers & Guthan’s full orchectra from Grand Rapids, the lead­ ing one in tbs State. There will be round as well as quadrille dances on the programme to give every body a good chance for a good time The ball will be opened with a grand march at half past eight o’clock p. m.

Pennock, was celebrated this year at the home of Mr. and Mrs. F. A) Sisson, in Freeport Jan. 27,1904. Cov­ ers were laid for 17 and a very sumptu­ ous dinner it was, consisting of oysters, chicken pie and all the good things that Mrs. Sisson knows so well how to prepare. At eaeh plate were red and white carnations, favors from Mr. Sisson. After dinner a program was carried out, consisting of music, recita­ tions, solos, and a paper read, while Mr. Odell told us of 48 years ago, and Mrs. Leach of bringing up and caring for twin girls. Mr. Odell said the weather 48 years ago was much colder than it had been this winter, and the conveyance drawn by oxen was slow enough to freeze one. Mrs. Sisson’s mother was present. She is 85 years old and smarter than many are at 60. The gifts were surely tokens of love and appreciation.

CLERKSHIP A 53 LITTLE POLITICAL FOOLISH­ NESS LEADS TO A CONTEST As to Who is Township Clerk Out In the Township of • Hastings. "Much ado about nothing” would about express the scrap that is an in Hastings township over the matter of who is clerk of that township. List spring the majority of the peo­ ple of Hastings township declared by their votes that they wanted a repub­ lican for clerk for the ensuing year, and elected Ed Birdsell, who resigned several months ago and accepted a po­ sition as carrier on Rural Route No. 5. Mr. Birdsell duly appointed as his deputy Mr. Gilbert Todd, who accepted the office and was given possession of all the books, papers, etc. After Mr. Birdsen resigned -a couple of hold over democrats doubtless thought to gain some partisan advantage, and by hold­ ing what was designated as a "rump” meeting in a farmer’s kitchen proceed­ ed to elect a clerk themselves, ancj selected Mr. Elihu Larkin. Mr. Todd, as Mr. Birdsell’s deputy, took the position that he was the law­ ful successor and was qualified to serve until a new township clerk was duly elected. Matters continued to grow warmer and warmer until it is said a replevin was to be served on Mr.Todd to secure the books, etc. But in the mean­ time an injunction was served on Mt. Larkin to prevent him from acting as clerk, and on the township board to prevent them from acting further in the matter. A motion to dissolve the injunction was argued before Judge Smith Saturday, Messrs. Lee Pryor and W. W. Potter ably sustaining the cause of Mr. Todd, while Prosecutor Walker and Thomas Sullivan fuught valiantly for their clients. A new township clerk will be elected in a couple of months and just why the democratic members of the town board wanted to turn down a republican official and put In one of tbeir own political faith is not plain. If they ex­ pected to gain any political advantage -by such action it certainly must be dis­ appointing, because even some of the more sensible members of their own party disapprove of the course they have taken. But let 'em fight, replevin and mandamus. 13a Question box, in charge of Prof. M. L. Dean. Music.__ _ __ _ T:30. Tfie Silo ancTSi lageTN. P? Hull. 2.00.

Below wc present the program for the Inspiration Institute appointed by Snpt. Fall to be held in Hastings Fri­ day and Saturday Feb. 12 and 13, 1904. The arrangement of topics is such that tbe meeting will afford the largest pos­ sible measure of inspiration and prac­ tical information. The Inspiration Institute of two years ago was one of the most profitable educational gather­ ings ever. held in the county and the coming meeting can be made as help­ ful if all who are interested in educa­ tion will lend their influence. The roll cal) two years ago showed fourteen absentees among the teachers and the total enrollment was 89 per cent of tbe teaching force of the county. May not both of these records be improved this year? A cordial invitation is extended to patrons, pupil* and -all who ift tail terested in education to attend the ses­ sions of the Institute.

DARLING, TOOK HIS OWN LIFE SATURDAY Deceased Lived In Yankee Springs and had Become Very Despondent Over Financial Losses. Saturday morning John P. Darling, of Yankee Springs, committed suicide by shooting himself with a small 32 caliber revolver. Reference to the Banner map shows that he owns the west half of tbe south­ west quarter Of section four in Yankee Springs, his place being something over a mile north and over a half mile east of Bowens Mills. The deceased was one of the unfortu­ nates of life, being dwarfed physically and mentally. Though 38 or 40 years of age, he was but little over four feet tall, and had the voice and mind of a child. We are informed that his par ents, who are dead resided near Jack­ ion, and that they left their sou with quite a little property. Several months ago he bought this 80 acre farm, pay­ ing 82500 for it we are infoftned, which is said to be fully twice as much as it is worth. We are likewise told that be was in debt about 81100 on the place. This, together with bodily infirmities and domestic troubles, caused him to become very deep ondent Once last year he took poison with suid dal in­ tent, but doubtless taking too much its effect was only to make him very sick. It seems that one Nelson Wing rent-,, ed Darling’s place, the latter living with Wing's family. In the household was Nelson Wing, his father aged 87, his niece Alvira Wing, the latter’s daughter Etta, and Angelo Wing, Mrs. Wing keeping house for them ail. The deceased lived with Mr. Wing's family. Saturday morning Darling arose as usual, went out to the barn, came back about eight o'clock and went into his bed room, which was a very small place located in the south east part of the house. Picking up his 32 caliber re­ volver he evidently placed the muzzle just above his right temple and fired, the ball taking a downward course and ■ftWgliJH tot* ItilllL. Th* bad, room in which the suidde occurred is very small and dark, there being but very-little room to spare after the bed was placed in it There is a window in it but so completely covered over with papers, cloths, and curtain as to ex­ clude about every ray of light, Mrs. Wing says that she heard the re­ port of the revolver, but thought that it was the wood in the stove snapping, as sometimes occurs. The more she thought, the more she concluded that everything wasn't right, so she sent Angelo in to investigate. He went in and immediately reported that Darling had committed suicide. Dr. Taylor, of Middleville, was called and found the corpse in a semi-sitting posture, lean ing against a sort of bureau, the revolv­ er being found at his feet. Coroner Lathrop was notified and the following jury impanelled: Glen D. Whittemore, Frank Andrus, Frank Prindle, Ed Haines, O. A. Mattison and C. H. Purdy. There were some things connected with the case that looked somewhat suspicious, chiefly concern­ ing the blood on the floor, and also that on a stool somewhat higher than the dead man’s head was when found, was a pillow, on the top of which blood was sprinkled. A little further away, probably two feet from the body, was a small table considerably higher than the corpse. On this table were two pillows, one on top of the other. The top pillow was perfectly clean while there were two largev blood spots along the upper edge of the under pillow, I Coroner Lathrop adjourned the in­ quest to be held in the court house in this city yesterday forenoon, when a largeJnumber of tbe friends and neigh­ bora of the deceased were summoned to testify. In addition to the jury above named were Dr. Taylor, John Grinage, Jim Jones, Lynn Hastenbrook, Burdette Briggs, Burt Howe, John Senalba, Frank Sylvester, Mrs. C. M. Bixler, Trank Chamberlain and others. It was tbe unanimous opinion, as far as we could learn, that the deceased killed himself, there being no motive for any one in the family to take his life, as it would doubtless mean a loss instead of a gain to them. Deceased was recently chosen outer door keeper for the Bowens Mills grange, and as a mark of respect it had W. E. Bowen accompany the remains to the home of tbe deceased near Jack­ son, where interment was made. The coroner’s jury returned a verdict that deceased took his own life. ‘ Died.

To this union five children were born, all but one of whom have preceded her to the letter land. She gave her heart to Christ in early 1 ife, and united with the Methodist church soon after her conversion, living ever after, a quiet, consistent, Christian life* She was a true wife, a good mother, a true friend and a kind neighbor.

To them were given two chik dren, a daughter dying at the age of three months, and a son now 14 years old. For the past eight years they had made their home at Milo, Michigan, where by her kind and loving ways she had won a host of friends who will sadly miss her.

It was when he was a Prix de Rome musical student at the Villa Medic!*, which has given to the world so many composers. He bought a brand new gun and a beautiful dog, which ran between its new master’* legs at the first shot nnd nearly precipitated a disaster. Somehow Massenet was al­ ways late with tilings that either flew or ran; but, noticing a pike basking near the edge of a pool, he fired at tbe fish and kilted it, afterward returning to Rome with it on the end of hla gun, as the local custom is.

HIs Brother Wins Fame in His Place and is Now Governor of German JACKSQN, Mich., Feb. 7.—White ev­ eryone to speaking of the present sea­ son as being remarkable In Its charac­ teristics, some reliable facts of the year 1816, known as “the year without g summer." Few persons now living can recollect It, but it was the coldest ever known throughout Europe and Amer­ ica. The following is a brief abstract of the weather during the year: January was mild, so much so as to render fires almost needless In par­ lors. December previous was very cold. February was not very cold; with the exception of a few days It was mild like its predecessor. March was cold and boisterous during the first part of it; the remainder was mild. A great trrehet on the Ohio and Kentucky rivere caused great loa, property. April became wanner, but grew colder as the month advanced, and ended with snow and ice and a tem­ perature more like winter than spring. Summer Months Like Winter. May was more remarkable for frowns than smiles. Buds ’and fruit were frosen; Ice formed half an Inch thick; corn killed and the fields again and again replanted until deemed too late. June was the coldest ever known in ______ this latitude. _____ Frost_ _Ice and___ suow w^re common. Almost every green thing killed.

July was accompanied with frost and ice. On the Sth Ice was formed of the thickness of common window glass throughout New England, New YOrk and some parts of Pennsylvania. In­ dian corn was nearly all destroyed, some favorably situated fields escaped. This was true of some of the hill farms of Massachusetts. Mild Weather Came Late. August was more cheerless, if pos­ sible. than the summer months already pns.»ed. Ice was formed half an inch thick. Indian corn was also frown that the greatest part of it was cut dowp and dried for fodder. Almost everything green was destroyed, both in this country and in Europe. Papers received from England stated "that it would be remembered by the present generation that the year 1816 was a year In which there was no summer.” Very little corn ripened in New Eng­ land and the middle states. Farmers supplied themselves from the product in 1816 for the needs of the spring of 1817. It sold for from $4 to $5 a bushel. South Africa—Very Ro* mantle Sto’ry.

Feb. 8.-A de­ cided sensation was created In Faw Paw by the news that Miss Jane Broughton of that Tillage had eloped with and married Charles Roach a mail clerk on the Michigan Central railroad, who Is also a resident of Paw Paw. Miss Broughton, who is a daughter of Past Grand Master Roscoe W. Broughton of the Masonic grand lodge, was supposed .to be visiting friends in this city, but went to La­ Porte, Ind., where she met Roach and they were quietly married. . Miss Broughton, who Is about 25 years old. was one of the leading belles of southwestern Michigan, is a beau­ tiful young woman and accomplished musician. The groom is a bright young man, but It is stated that the young lady's parents were opposed to the match for some reason known only to themselves. A letter written by the bride from the Saratoga hotel, Chicago, to friends In.this city, was the first intimation of the marriage, and a telegram sent from here to her parents In Paw Paw the first they had heard of the affair.

At this point half a dusen fire com­ panies were fighting from the rear, while other companies were Hanking on the Jones Falls and the Liberty street borders. Sandwiches and coffee were, served from drays and cool was fed to the engines froth vehicles no larger. Many of the men were almost famished from their long and dangerous detail nnd the hot food was a godsend. Sun Was Obscured. In that district no one knew whether the sun shone except those who had come from the northern district. The clouds of blinding, choking smoke to­ tally obscured the sun, and the wind from the northwest carried a spray of raln-llke drops of water from across the fulls. When the advance of flames had been checked the fire companies started back over the course of the disaster, at­ tempting to dimish the flaming ruins and prevent another outbreak. Where the Fire Was Stopped. Late this afternoon it became possi­ ble to locate the spot where the march of the flames was stopped. After the burning of the 'Maryland and American Ice company’s plants, near the Union docks, a few buildings were destroyed. The Icehouse held the flames for three hours, though In the meantime the Norfolk wharf was consumed. The fire boat Cataract nnd several New York engine companies held this dangerous neighborhood, and when the fire en­ tered the American Ice company’s coal yards, it was kept under control. The next building in line wa» the Damast Packing company’s plant and this was but little damaged. Wilson’s Lumber yards, Denmead Malting com­ pany'* building, the Merchant & Min­ ers, Transportation company's build­ ings and a number of others virtually wore snatched from the burning.

The following report received. To the Honorable Mayor and Common Council of the City of Hw*Ungn: Gmtlemca: The undersigned committee ap­ pointed by your honorable body to examine the public buildings, hotels, and .halls where as­ semblages are held, would respectfully report that they have made the necessary Inspection and found all the buildings fairly provided with aventies of escape In case at fire. The Central High School three story building Is well provided with large stairways and balls. The l»a»ement and tlr-stRand second stories are Krovided with brick partition walls, so that there i very little, If any, danger of Are In hallways or stairways. W’Lh an efficient Are drill in each room there can be do accident from Are. It might add to appearanoe of safety, if a Are es­ cape platform and ladder were placed on the east side ot said building, from the third story double window on that side. Both hotels are fairly provided with safe exits, easy of access from all floors. An additional exit sitould be made from the third story hall on west side of Parker House, and a ladder or steps from the vast side of north wing of Hotel Barry, and there should bo direction cards put up. calling attention to the Are escapes. The Maccabee and Odd Fellows halls tn the Empire block, and the Knights of Pythias ball in Uoloo block, hare no means of escape, should a Are occur in the rear, or ante-rooms and stair­ ways. We would therefore recommend that a Are escape ladder and Joint platform be arrang­ ed on the line joining the two halls in the En>Cre block, fronting on Slate sheet; the ladder come down to the sills of the windows on the second floor, and that the bridge leading from the K. of P. hall ou to the "little brick" building across the alley, be replaced by a new one and the railing thereto be made more safe; also that an escape ladder or stairway be placed at the north window on the east side erf Che Union block, connecting with the landing of the stair­ way leading to Messrs Colgrove s Potter’s of- Mssoplc hall is well provided with exits. Reed’s Opera House Is also well provided with stairways. Tho churches have t heir asse tn binge rooms on the groun<i floor and are provided with two exits, so that they are safe. .

After a brief illness of typhoid fever, Senator M. A. Hanna passed away Monday evenin? at Washington, aged S7 years. His death removes from pol iucs its greatest figure, except I*re6itient Roosevelt. No man was ever an ore bitterly, or unjustly, maligned than he, but by sheer force of an hon’est, rugged character he won his way to the front. Not entering public life until W years of age, no public man ever *grew” and "broadened out” more than ho after reaching that age. He was of the Zach Chandler stamp of a man and ■every word that be uttered “weighed a pound.” He was a born leader of men. «n active force, and his deatfc removes I x>ne of the great ■world. characters of the f Not since the civil war days, when the blockade of the Southern ports cut off Europe's supply from the United States, has cotton occupied so much of the worlds thought as it has begun to receive in the past few weeks. The king of England, in his speech from the throne the other day. called attention to the gravity of the cotton situation on account of the high prices to which the staple had been forced on the Ameri­ can exchanges. As the United States furnishes three-quarters of the worlds eupply of cotton, and almost all of the cotton of the best quality, the leading ^newspapers and statesmen of the manufrfctoring* countries of Europe are aiiscussing the necessity of immediately Mud largely increasing their sources of •apply. There Is a demand in this state for primary election reform. We do not believe, however, that the extreme ue&sures advocated by Justus S. Stearns are forjtbe best interests of the whole people. On the other hand we believe they would centralize political power in the big cities and work harm to rural districts. Four years ago Mr. Stearns was one of the trio of boodle candidates that disgraced this state, and people may reasonably be excused for not taking his “anti-corruption” ■manifesto as seriously as he would wish. A very lively interest is being taken in the campaign for the nomination for governor of New York, and the name cf Elihu Root Is frequeiitiy mentioned in connection with the honor. Mr. Boot, former secretary of War, is one of the^ master minds of the country, a atatesman of recognized ability, and a man worthy of the greatest honors his countrymen can bestow. While in the cabinet he was President Roosevelt’s •close friend and advisor and was in hearty sympathy with the acts of the •latter’s administration. er with six cows or over, and other live stock could afford to be without a rilo. The only one In this vicinity to have a rilo that we know ot Is Frank Edmonds, of Hastings township, the newly elect­ ed J'resident of the Barry County Farmers Institute, though there are plenty of farmers having More than six cows. Mr. Edmonds Is well pleased with bls silo and it would dQubtless pay many others in this community to investigate the merits of the silo more thoroughly. Several social affairs were held this week by the friends of Mrs. Charles Russell, of Haatings, during her short visit here. Lat Tuesday afternoon Mesdamee ITIscllla Hart and Philip Padgbsm entertained about twentylive ladles at tea In honor of Mra Russell, and Miss Mary Bassett also gave a luncheon the drat of the week. Wednesday afternoon Mesdames Clar­ ence Messenger and Charles Born were hosts to a number of friends at a tea, and Thursday Mra. W. B. Williams gave a dinner party in Mrs. Russell's honor.

Catarrh and Breath It. Hyomei is nature’s own method for curing catarrh, colds, coughs and dis­ eases of the respiratory organs. It is the only natural treatment for the cure of the troubles. Breathed through the neat pocket in­ haler that comes with every outfit, the air that passes into the throat and lungs, is identical with that on the mountains, where it is laden with heal­ ing and health giving balsams. It searches out and kills disease germs in the most remote and minute air cells of the head, throat and lungs, it soothes and heals all irritation of the mucous membrane. Hyomei is prescribed by physicians generally. Many of them use it them­ selves to break up a cold and prevent pneumonia. ■ The complete Hyomei outfit consists of a neat inhaler, that is so small and convenient that it can be carried in the pocket or purse, a medicine dropper and a bottle of Hyomei. This costs but 81, and it will cure any ordinary case of catarrh. In chronic and deep seated conditions, longer use is neces­ sary and extra bottles of Hyomei can be obtained for 50c., making it a most economical treatment for this disease. W. J. Holloway has so much con­ fidence in the power of Hyomei to cure catarrh and other diseases of the throat and lungs that he sells it under his personal guarantee to refund the mon­ ey to any purchaser in cane it fails to give satisfaction. He, takes all n*k himself, and Hyomei costs you absolute ly nothing nnleas it does you good.

Throw a pig into deep water, and it will begin swim­ ming ashore at once, which is more than most men are able to do.

In most cases they are trained by means of reward for suc­ cess. In pointing, for example, when they blunder, they get a stone, but if. when they spot the bird, they drop their tall and ears and sink on their knees and do not rise until after the bird has risen they are rewarded with pudding.

Prohibited the Keeping, Sale er Use of Intoxicants—Commandant Cadills£ Made Plea to Have Edict Abolished. MACKINAW CITY, Mich.. Feb. 28In an interesting paper recently pub­ lished by. James H. Dallas in the Che­ boygan Tribune, the writer presents some facts to show that old Mackinaw, which was located on the south shore of the straits about half a mile wast of the present village of Mackinaw City, was the original sumfher resort of Michigan, and the first Prohibition settlement In the territory. It seems that in 1695 the French pos­ sessions In America which went under the name of New France were covered by an edict of Louis XIV prohibiting the keeping, stile or use of rum, brandy and other intoxicanta.« At the time M. LaMfctte Cadillac was command­ ant of the fort, and Mr. Dallas quotes a letter from Cadillac to the king’s minister asking that- Old Macklmiw be excepted from the edict along with Montreal and Quebec. He says. Then a Large Village. “It Is & great mistake if people have an idea that this place is deserted, and If It be possible that any are in this belief, 1 think It my duty to correct th* erroneous Impression. It Is very important that you should know, in case you are not already informed, that this village Is one of the largest In Canada; there is a fine fort af pickets and 090 houses that form a street in a straight line; there is a garrison of well disciplined soldiers consisting of about 290 men, the best formed and most athletic to be found In this new world, besides many other persons who are residents here during two or three months of the year. Plea to Be Allowed Drinks. “This being an Indubitable fact. it. seems to me that the place should not be deprived of the privilege which his majesty has accorded to Montreal and Qucbcc-the privilege of furnishing themselves with the necessary drinks for their use. This place is exposed to all kinds of fatigue, and the situ­ ation of the place and the food require it. The hoUM-s are arranged along the shore, the fish and smoked meat constitute the principal food of the In­ habitants, so that a drink of brandy after the repast seems necessary to cook the bilious meats and the crudi­ ties which they leave in the stomach; the air is penetrating and corrosive, and without the brandy that we have used in tbe morning sickness will be much more frequent.” DC Other Small Fruits Are * Raised. .

At this season of the year, catarrhal troubles are very prevalent, and nearly every person suffers to a certain extent. Catarrh is actually the result of a succession of colds and cau be easily prevented if the proper treatment is followed. Hyomei is a natural yet'scientific cure for the colds and grip troublee that lead to catarrh, as well as a posi­ tive cure for the disease itself. The balsamic air of Hyomei breath­ ed through the small pocket inhaler that cbmee with every outfit, is filled with germ-killing and health-giving qualities that penetrate to the minut­ est air cells of the head, throat and lungs. It kills all catarrhal germs frees the mucous membrane from poisonous microbes, and makes a per­ fect and complete cure of catarrh. The complete outfit costs only 81. while extra bottles M Hyomei can be procured for 50c. W. J.

Wqo-.len plows and wooden implements make agriculture a drudgery' to an ex­ tent which the most hard-worked American farmer could not believe. Winter Begins in October. lu October winter begins, and every­ thing is frozen soUd until May. At once the jieasant’* life becomes one of idleness. To milk thq tows and net in wood from the forest is all there Is to do. Even the stn bling is made easier from th“ practice of never removing the litter from the stalls during the cold weather. The filth piles up under the cattle untll.lt Is three or four feet deep. A larger proportion of -cattle die of disease in Rur.-ia than lu anv other country, but the Russian sticks tv his method of stabling because of the quan­ tity of manure which pe bus ready for his fields In the spring. Philanthropic people, in St. Peters­ burg and Moscow are trying to relieve the dreary monotony of the peasant’s life by introducing' cottage Industries and circulating reading matter. But a* 75 per cent of the people. Including probably 98 per cent ’of the women, lu Russia, cannot read or write, village Jlthrary club* do not make much head- The men receive the rudiments of •-ducatlon when they are In the army, but for them the long winter is usually spent keeping drunk: The peasants used tv make their own vodka from spoiled potatoes, but lately the govern­ ment has prevented this by making tbe production of alcohol a government monopoly. At the same time vodka Is exceedingly plentiful, very intoxicating and is the usual relief practiced during the winter. Ventilation Not Dreamed Of. To a traveler one of the most extra­ ordinary things in Russia is that no­ body seems to have the slightest idea on the subject of ventilation. Most of the buildings are hermetically sealed la October and not aired until May, so that by midwinter the stench even in fairly good hotels Is overpowering. Churches and many public bulldingR are just us bad. but for the climax in bad air you have to visit the home of a peasant. The average peasant's house is a crude structure of logs and lhatch; sometimes with only one room and sometimes with two. In the living room is a great stove of brick so con­ structed that a’ very small amount of fuel will heat it and it will continue to give out heat long after pie fire- has gone out. By failing to venllate it, the peasant is able to economize on fuel, and though it is plentiful enough this seems a great object to him. His windows are always built so that they cannot be opened.

SENATOR BEVERIDGE'S VIEW. Senator Beveridge thinks that the result of'the war now going on depends UlK.ii the depth of the money chests of the contending parties. Considering the fact that Japan and Russia—owing ts> their respective situations—are more On an equality than is generally supHjs> d. the question of resources is Mt al. Japan Is practically’ at home and bas the superior navy on the ground— perhaps water Is better; she has a population of 50,1)00,000; she has the lighting spirit and inordinate military ambition; she la compact in territory and population. Russia on the con­ trary will have to carry the war on Under extraordinary circumstances. St. J*otershurg is more than 3,000 miles from the scene of action; her troops have to be transported clear across Si­ beria over a single line of railroad which is operated under difficulties; she has the inferior navy at the scene of action; she has a widely scattered though much larger population But taking the two powers as they stand >ilh respect to the present struggle, the advantage .of position is. with the Japanese. So Senator Beveridge is not far out of the way wnen he says that the outcome may be considered one of purses. ' Sometimes a nose or a cheek Is frostbitten—notjoften. This is due to poor circulation7-in the member affected. Now and'Vh'en a man will stop another one and begin to rub his face with snow. The victim submits until he feels the affected parts tingle, when he thanks the other one and moves on. When frosted, ythe nose or cheek turns white as snow. Patients here are allowed to sleep all they can. It Isn’t hard to deep here In this splendid air—it’s easy. It is easy to eat, too. One is ashamed almost of one’s appetite, and the consumptives notice it first. • "The old treatment of consumption,” says Dr. Tradeau, * was to tell the pa­ tient to take lots of exercise. Indoors he was cooped up in a hot room with every breath of fresh air excluded, ar 4 he was dosed with cod liver oil, and later with creosote. Neither would cure him, and any strength he got from the oil was wasted by exercise." So up here the patients, whentthey first come, do nothing but opt and sleep. Some of them, carried in pn cota, are too feeble to move. But even the inrest. They are put in a icomfortable steamer chair, reclining at a doxe-induclng angle. Their feet are lifted from the floor, they are wrapped up care­ fully in blankets and rugs, and then pre wheeled out on the veranda.

He bated soap and water —and ministers, so he said "Plague take It!" under bis breath and came In at a snail's pace. “What's be cornin’ for?" be asked re­ sentfully while his mother poked a wash doth uncomfortably around in his ear. "To visit your father and me." Mrs. Grayson said complacently. “No, he ain’t neither! He’s comln* to see Aunt Bertha and ent all tbe chick­ en he can hold, jest like be did last time!” a "Peter Grayson " his mother said se­ verely.

And there isn’t a word of truth in It!" Peter started for tbe stair door, sniff­ ing hungrily as be passed the loaded table. "You-can come down and eat your supper when you’re ready to say you’re sorry for telling snch a story," his mother called rdentlngly. Peter’s room was directly owr the parlor. When there was talking dowb below he could hear it distinctly. It was warm weather now, and tbe sto*e had been taken down, so th^t be could ’ see as-well ns hear. Wbcfi the door- I bell rang he lay flat on his stomach and watched his mother usher tbe Rev. Mr. .Phlllet into tbe parlor. “I shall have to ask you to excuse me," she said, "while I whip some cream for the peaches." Peter’s mouth watered. Peaches ami whipped cream! He didn’t know they were to have that No wonder the,minIster looked pleased! He watched him a»at himself in the easiest chair in tbe room; it was directly under the stove­ pipe hole. An Idea came into Peter's little, closely cropped head—he would fish tbe tidy from the back of the min­ ister’s chair! Tiptoeing over to the dresser, he took a pin from tbe cushion and bent It into a bnok; then he rum ruaged In his pockets and brought ou. a glass stopper, a horse chestnut, half a dozen “brownies," the stump of n lead pencil, four corks, a “lucky" stone and a piece of twine. The twine was what he wanted. He fastened one end of it to the bent pin and lay down to fish at his leisure. Tbe hook swung to and fro over the head of tbe unsuspect­ ing Mr. Phillet He was a young man. with a “fine head of hair," and the hook lifted n lock ot it in passing. He put up his hand and “shooed” at an imaginary fly. Peter giggled so that he missed the tidy, but that wasn’t all. The minister heard him and looked up. He smiled, and Peter thought he must always remember to brush his teeth, they wore so white. • “Come down and see me," he said just like an everyday man. “Can’t,” Peter Raid. "Why not?’ the minister asked, get­ ting up from his chair. “Have to catch fish for supper?” he said laughingly, with a glance at the book and line. Peter blushed though his freckles. “No, sir," be said. . "Ma says I can’t come down tijl 1 say I’m sorry." "Sorry for what, Peter?’ "Sorry I told such a story ’bout you.T "About me?’ the minister said. "Yes, sir. I—I—said you was fond of .1 thicken." Mr. Phlllet laughed heartily. “That Isn’t a story.’’ be said. “1 am." "That ain’t all," Peter confessed. *1 said you ate all the chicken you could bold.” Mr. Phlllet blushed guiltily. To afraid I am something of a p-l-g when there’s cblcken before me. Was that nil you said. Peter?” "No. sir. I said”— "Yes?’ the minister prompted him gently. "You said"— "1 said you came here to see Aunt Bertha," he blurted out . Tbe Rev. Mr. Phillet sat down again In bls chair aud gasped. "Did your Aunt Bertha bear you say that?" he asked feebly. , "No. s!r. Don’t you worry, sir. She wa’n’t anywhere around." Mr. Phillet was silent so long tbat Peter grew uneasy. He cleared Ms throat In hopes that the minister would kiok up. bnt he didn’t He sat stin, ao very gtill tlurt Peter Imagined all man­ ner of drendful tblngB—probably tie was dead or having a fit! That was it—be was haring a fit! They threw water ou folks when they had fits. Billy Baroes had said so. Peter wus thinking Beriously of getting his pitch­ er aud treating Mr. Phlllet to a shower bath when the doorknob turned, and life Aunt Bertha came Into the room. To his delight the minister rose from his chair. “Why. Mr. PhUlet." she said, “what is the matter? Your face is so flushed. Have you a fever?" . "No," Peter called down. “1 gues* It was a fit" Aunt Bertha looked up. "Wbat does the child mean?’ ah^ said, turning to the minister." "Don’t talk to them,” Peter shouted. “They have to be kept quiet. I’ll tell you. I said be ate all the chicken be could hold, and be says It’s so. and I said he came here to see you, and he says it’s a story. He didn’t jest say so. but ho thinks so, and it give him a fit. I guess.” Bertha’s face was as red as the min­ ister’s. “Of course Mr. Phlllet doesn't come here to see me, Peter,” she said severely. Aunt Bertha bad never spo­ ken to him like that before. He shut bis eyes to keep tbe tears back. When he opened them the minister was look­ ing up nt Wm. “Coiue down here, Peter," he said, "and change places with your Aunt Bertha. It !s ahe who tells a story. You are truth Itself. I do come here to see her. but I’ve been afraid to say so. You see, she doesn’t care for me at all Peter." Then his Aunt Bertha said sometiiiug very disrespectful, I’eter thought, tr the minister. She said very low: "Who te telling a ttfory now? It Is you wbc should go upstairs." But neither of them went up. They moved over into a corner of tbe room, where Peter couldn’t see- them at- all. And by and by his mother tame in apd said supper was ready. Peter began to undress very alowiy. for his stomach was empty, and he hail almost decided to go down and say that be wns sorry, but It was all true. He was putting on his coat again when his mother came- into the room. She kissed his freckled little face and said soothingly: “Go down, dear, and eat your supper now. Aunt Bertha has n big dish of peaches 'apd cream ready for you. The minister has explained everything. He says you did him n great kindness." Peter wondered what it was. There have been man}- young girls ready to believe us gospel truth any­ thing they saw in a book, and the more innocent tbe less suite*I they were to analyse the statements made in these inconsequent tales. They only saw that by way of the theater any pretty girl In poverty, in trouble, could in the briefest time become great, powerful and wealthy. No word was said of the long toil in obscurity, tbe yearning for recognition, the perpetual disappoint­ ment, the thotteand hopes always with­ ering like leaves before frost, tbe wretched life In poverty, of struggles against numbers and perhaps jealousy and malice, of slow Increase of salary, of equal increase of expense. The old time novelist was silent as to all these and only dwelt In large and vague splendors—never adequately accounted for. Poor, romantic little maids! One does not like to think what tbe effect of the glided nonsense of such books about the stage may have been, but In my own mind I compare them with such a book as “Tbe Mummer’s Wife,” that fright­ ful and realistic story of Mr. George Moore’s—that horror in stupendous realism, but "Oh, Son of David, have mercy upon us," it is the truth!—Clara Morris in Reader.

"God bless you!" said to a person when sneering Is doubtless a relic of the past, as sneezing was looked upon as a symptom of the plague. Sneezing Is nowhere noticed so much at the present time as in India. There, to sneeze ou starting on a journey, on entering a place of business or on un­ dertaking any sort of enterprise is sup­ posed to betoken ill luck for the sneezer or some one with whom he comes in contact. O£» bearing any one. either a native or a foreigner, sneeze in a public place, a Brahman will immediately cry out: "Live!' Live!" and he will continue to do so as often as the sneezing Is re­ peated.

Joseph River Is Highest It Hi, Been In Ten Years.' BENTON HARBOR. Mich., March G.—The continued rainfall today has in­ creased the anxiety over the breaking up of the St. Joseph river. Telephone messages W and 15 miles up the river tonight give that the water is higher than it has been for 10 years. John Allmendlnger, bridge builder of this place, says tonight If this rain keeps on for three days longer every bridge along the river will go out with the break-up. At Berrien Springs the wooden struc­ ture was condemned by the supervisors at their last January session, while Na­ pier bridge, two miles south of here, has no Ice protectors nnd it is said the ice above this bridge Is several feet thick.

For of couree, the entrance of anew class in April makes it necessary for our primary teachers to devote some of their time and attention to the new comer*. This interferes with their do lug as thorough work with those child­ ren who have been in the grade all the year as is deskaWe. At the same time the April beginners are not able to make enough progress during the spring months to place them much in advance of those who eater tbe following Sept­ ember. The result is that all the year through {here is confusion in the grad­ ing caused by the slight difference in advancement between tbe April begin­ ners and the regular September class. With this explanation and under tbe sanction of the board of education, I am going to request that parents refrain from sending their little diildren until September. By so doing they will not materially affect the progress of their own children and at the same time they will enable, our first grade teachers to accomplish better results. Respectfully, . C. F.

Which Will Render the Enforcement of Local Option Laws Possible in this State. The Banner has never been an ad­ vocate of local option as it has been conducted in the past, but two recent decisions of the Supreme Court of this state in local option cases, have done much to render possible the enforce­ ment of local option lawn. In all local option counties there is a law making it obligatory upon all druggists to flle^wilh the county clerk or sheriff every Monday morning a sworn statement of the amount of liquor they have sold during the previ­ ous week, to whom it was sold and what for. In local option counties it has been the custom for many drug­ gists to sell all tbe liquor they wanted to. make a record of the sales and then take the position that they had “complied with the law." Further they took the position that these rec­ ords of sales of liquor could not be used as evidence against them; because it would be a violation of their consti­ tutional rights, in that It would compel them to furnish evidence to convict themselves. The two decisions of the Supreme Court are in substance as follows: First—The law regulating the sale of liquor by druggists must be lived up to “honestly." That where, for instance, a druggist sells the same man five or six pints of liquor at different times during the same day, (as we. under­ stand. frequently occurred in Eaton county) it constitutes a violation of the spirit of the law, while nominally liv­ ing up to the letter of the law, and constitutes a violation for which tbe offender is liable. The second decision by the Supreme Court is that these druggists' records may be used as evidence against them, because they constitute one of the chief sources of information as to whether the law is being honestly lived up to. These decisions of the. Supreme Court will make the enforcement of local optl.-n laws an easy matter, with any kind of public sentiment back of them, such as we belifeve exists in Barry county. In the first place, if any druggist should falsify his records, he can be arrested for perjury, which would be even more serious than vio­ lation of the liquor laws. If he breaks the law by selling liquor miscellaneous­ ly his records will show it, and will furnish the evidence to convict him­ self. Local option in Eaton county for the past two years has been a farce, but during these two years these ques­ tions have been fought out through the Circuit Court, where Judge Smith’s de­ cisions were appealed from to the Supreme Court, only to_.be affirmed by the latter body. As a result several of the drug store saloonists of Eaton county were fined $100 each and are now serving 30 day sentences in the Epton county jail, and knowing full well that the next conviction will mean a much more severe sentence. A man would be foolish, indeed, to con­ tinue to violate the laws wilfully and ’ openly In the face of such a dark out­ men who drink liquor as there are whn do nob There are some men of strong enough will .power U> takes glam or two. of liquor and leave It. alone. Were all men who drink liquor of this class, the. evil would not be so great, but In the. great social swirl of the saloon, there of weaker will power become firmer and firmer in the clutches of the liquor habit, and once there are NEVER able, to free themselves. Down deeper and deeper and deeper they go, all theijmoney is most selfishly spent to grat« ify their own appetites, home is neg-* lee ted and rained, while innocent wives, and children, (who are In reality the. greatest sufferers) are worse than widowed and orphaned. Hi>w many times have we seen this thing h a open in the past and indeed it is happening today. Tbe saloon business is perfectly legitimate. There are some mighty good fellows in the liquor business inthis city and county, and they are eonducting it as a business enterprise. Many of them are kind hearted; gener. ous minded, and are above conducting the business, which they themselves dfcspise to a greater or less degree,—but. there is money in it. But we believe -the time is coming when the open saloon n; ust go, both fortbe good of the city and county. The. recent decisions of the Supreme Courthave made it possible to remove the. evil influences of the open saloon, and, the Banner will be pleased to open It*. Columns to get something of an opin­ ion as to how the people of Barry county feel in regard to taking up the question of local option. Names will not be published when requested to be withheld. Judge Smith is entitled to the thank* of all temperance loving people for hi* decisions in these local option cases, , and the Supreme Court have made it possible to enforce them by affirming them. tiest and all looking foine so what wroite yez a few loiues and to thry and put in some things I wisht to tell do yer say to our all goin to church A gentleman in this city on Saturday yez before but that shlipped me moind, and surprise the preacher(and a grate last, at about half-past three, counted it bein so full of that coorius Uy party. surprise it would have been) and give 305 teams on our streets, and two hours But firrust let me ixpriss me thanks Mrs. Smythe a chance to wash up all before that time, there was al least 13D fur the letther from yerself.

Clark, whom the leading magazines of tbe country a few mouths ago commended very highly for his honesty and fearleasnase as foreman of the grand jury in bringing the guilty ones to trial. In speaking upon the results of the working of the yyimary election law in Minnesota Mr., Clark recently wrote a gentleman in thia state as follows:— My Dear Sir:— * I have yours of recent date asking me as to the practical work­ ings of the Primary Election Law. I assume that you are familiar with the text of the law and therefore only give you tbe results of the actual practical workings of tbe same. Tbe results are Flrat:—The engendering of tbe bit­ terest feeling between members of the same party. Second:—The voter in large cities is without any adequate or intelligent guidance as to the personal fitness of all candidates, as the partisan papers are absolutely non committal as to the qualifications of their own party’s candidates. Third:—It makes nominations intoler­ ably expensive and laborious,dianouraging tbe efficient aud competent man from competing and is responsible for some notoriously disgraceful nomina­ tions, without raising the standard of the candidates. It means practically two elections. The successful nominee has now two large bills of expense, which are not decreased by the bitter enmities he has incurred in his own party. The suc­ cessful nominee is he who can make the rpoet acquaintances and can bv any means secure newspaper advertising. Consequently the man in office has greatly the advantage of the unknown candidate. It is particularly offensive to the judiciary, as it requires candidates to advertise their qualifications in a man­ ner which is not in accordance with the ethics of the profession. The expense of the primaries to the candidate is much greater than that of the actual election. The labor and personal solicitation necessary to se­ cure, or attempt to secure, the nomina­ tion are so distasteful to the average Justness man that at our last election ie Republican Party had hard work to secure a candidate for Mayor and inci­ dentally I might state that he was beaten while the balance of the ticket (outside of some aidermen) was elected. The present law is ideal in theory, but it is not practical. That a law may be sb 'framed as to produce the re­ sults contemplated, is certainly pos­ sible, but this phase of the matter I leave to the lawyers. Yours very truly, (Signed) Hovey C. Clarke.

Our axles are made of the very best selected hickory. Our skeins are of the pattern known as the Holmes Patent Straightbearing Skein, which is conceded by wagon men to be the easiest running on the market. We use white oak hubs, white oak kpokes and white oak felloes, using nothing but the grade known as ’‘A select” Our wheel is thoroughly dried. The hubs are expanded by steam. The spokes are driven in glue by a power hammer, making the hub and spoke- one solid piece of timber. Every wheel is soaked in boiling linseed oil, rendering them im­ pervious to moisture.

I would have f**intTng spells, either before or after my monthly periods. They would vuxue on me suddenly. Sometimes I would be on the street. “ I had pains all over me. My head ached all the time, oould take no walks or go up stairs without becoming completely exhausted. I suffered untold misery.

I dreaded from one time to another so much that I almost wanted to die. “ Our family physician did everything he could for me, but I got no relief. Ho said if I lived to get through with the other trouble, it would wear away after a time, but I had it six years and oould notwalk or exercise in any way without bringing on an attack of the cramp, and I would suffer untold misery until I would be perfectly exhausted and helpless. “ I read in one of your little hooks about your medicine being good for feihale trouble and change of life, and thought there waa no harm in trying it, so I did, and it helped me and I was able to take walks and work some. “ I am very thankful for the relief your medicine has . been to me."—Mrs. V.

We hear so much about Cuban sugar 60 days, this being the second time heand Cuban reciprocity, but congress had been arrested on that charge. says nothing of the Hen, who produces wealth enough to buy all the sugar consumed in the United States and have several million dollars left to her credit; On June 1st 1900 the estimated value of poultry on hand was S85.794.990. • Tho value of poultry raised in 1899। was 8136.891.997.00 and the total value। of eggs produced was 8144.286.158X0, the total income of the poultry industry in 1899 was 8281,178.155,00. Thqee, statistics refer only to the farm pro­ duction, and it is fair to estimate a 5, per cent addition to the above for poultry raised and eggs produced, in the cities. From the above statistics it shows> that each year, every dollar of poultry,t ' found in farm yards of America, pro­ duce more than one and half dollars of• live poultry and two dollars of eggs. In other words less than 89,000,000i invested, yields nearly 8300,000.000 an­. nually. Can any one make such a return on! other classes of live stock costing near­ ly nothing to feed. I think not. Biddy and the rooster feed upon in­ sects that costs the farmer nothing, but preventing him loss and annoyance by these insects, working upon crops, and fruit trees. Market fowls, raised on the farm, are grown nearly all together in the sum­ mer hatched in the spring, and market­ ed in the fall, and nearly all their growth is made by bustling and forag­ ing, preying on insects, picking up the grain dropped from wagons and feed boxes, which other wise would be wast ed, and all the eggs producted during the] summer and fall cost the same, which is almost like getting “some­ thing for nothing.” R. Henry Mitchell. William Matthews, living near Dow* ling, is the owner of a very prophetic hen. Not being possessed of the.'power of speech, Biddy [does the next best thing, and indicts her prophesies on the shell of her eggs. Her flrat visions of the future, as far as is known, were ob* served Saturday when an egg was brought into the house from the barnt and on the shell of the egg was printed in large; plain letters “Coad dry Sum* mer.” Biddy was doubtless too hasty in her “proof reading”, because the first word was doubtless intended for “Cold.* Or it may be that in her haste, to impart the information she struck the wrong key. Consternation reigned in the household upon the discovery of this prophetic warning, but it wasn’t aa iota to what happened Monday when another egg was brought in, on theshell of which was plainly t>rinted in raised letters these words “Sell out’fc Mr. Matthews is very much inclined ta regard these warnings as revelations of the future, especially, as there was na egg in the neet up to ten oclock Mon* day forenoon, and in the intervening two hours, during which the egg waa laid, he was in close proximity to the. bam, and is very confident that Biddy’s. prophetic visions are bona Gde. We are informed that by the aid of a Huh wax, and dropping the eggs for a time in some kind of acid, will produce about such a condition as Mr. Matthews found. These eggs had the appearance of having been tampered with, and the nearest approach to “spirits” might have been when they were dropped in strong vinegar, or other liquid, contain* . log strong add of some kind. The American hen is too busy producing cash to be concerned with such proph­ esies. We believe an African will be found in the fence corner somewhere on the Matthews farm.

Gentleman: If you will kindly give space in your paper to the follow* tag remarks I will appreciate it very touch. Every well informed voter knows that under the present system of nom Inatiiur candidates a lot of rottenness b*» crept into politics. That of late years nominations have been bought ■with such boldness as to be disgusting to the patriotic voter. The politicians Vinjrn are getting such a hold on the ■conventions of the parties that it is Useless to talk of ousting them by or­ dinary means. The rank and file of the voters demand a radical change in the system of nominating our public vrfllcials. They demand a change ■Wherein their rights wlH be recognized ■and political rings forever relegated to the background. Such relief is to be found in adopting a primary reform measure. Kot a halfway measure ■which makes more expense without CUminatlug any of the evils, but a •measure which does away entirely with Coawty and state conventions and their corrupting influences. The political grafter of today knows khat It is easier to buy a tew meh, enough to make a majority in a con­ vention, than it Is to buy tbe voters of * whole township or county. There­ fore every grafter in the state Is work­ tug tooth and najl against primary re­ turns. There are arguments being urged ugalnst primary reform that to me appt-'ar foolish in the extreme. It has been said that under a primary reform law persons - would be nominated for n0re who were not really the choice of lheir P«rtTAs an Illustration the nomination for mayor in the city ot Grand Bapids was taken „ „ ample. Tbe man nominated on the republican ticket received only one. conventions is not worthy to live. The remark has also been made that "we are in favor of a primary reform law that is consistent with pure politics and the good of tbe party"—party above country, party above state, party above everything. An idea born iujpolitical corruption and voiced by warped and one-sided individuals. Patriotism should be the foundation principle of every party, the guiding {star of every voter. Until a man can subject party to the best interests of his country he is not a patriot.- As for me my coun­ try, state, county, the best interests of my fellowmen stand first. A political party is a means to an end; a means of obtaining the best interest of the whole people. If primary reform will purify our politics that is what we want re­ gardless of tbe welfare of the party. A proper primary reform measure will eliminate from politics the political boss and ring and the corrupting Infitiencebf money in political conventions. This is worth accomplishing even at the sacrifice of a little sentiment. Yours truly, Ellis]E. Faulkner. Replying to our Delton friend we will say that we do not question and never have that there is a lot of (rotten­ ness in politics at the present *time; neither do we question the "fact that there will continue to be rottenness in politics even after the most stringent primary law has been passed. Never, until all men become political patriots, as Mr. Faulkner has] modestly an­ nounced himself to be, and willing to sacrifice everything for their country’s good, as he has, can politics become ab­ solutely pure. You can’t legislate men to be honest, any more than you can legislate them to be temperate. If it is In a man’s heart to be corrupt and erooked, no legislative enactment can 4#. If t# a * voter OO^Amm Is I — so consumed ~ -A remove It; wlfK greed; rrrxax.zl ■ bo on lost IacI to Ia his K.n own .an,*, self­ with respect that he Bells his vote now, there is nothing that will, or can, stop him after adopting primary reform, even in its moat extreme degree. In tbe past the Banner has made a tight for pure politics, and lo thwart the efforts of those who would introduce boodloin politics, going so far aa to oppose the republican state machine and tbe nom­ inee of our own party for governor on that score. We claim to be justaa honest, just as patriotic, and juct as loyal to our county, as our Delton friend, Mr. Faulkner, and If we can be convinced by argument, that an ex­ treme primary election law will be for tbe best interests of the people of this state we will heartily favor the measure, lint in changing our views, perhaps, we Naturally we are very proud of our new line of Eaeter Clothing eoMfetlng as follows: When the township caucuses are held let the election booths be put up, let every man go into the booth and cast his vote for‘ whoever he pleases for delegatee to county conventions and for any officers that may be deemed ad­ visable. When it comes to county con­ ventions let the booths be put up and delegates to all conventions elected by this means. We believe that some systern of this nature can be devised that will retain all the good featuresand necessary elements of extreme primary reform, and at the same time do away with the objectionable parts of pro­ posed extreme primary law. Mr. Faulkner attempts to make something of a handle of "good of the party.” If he will be fair, however, he will observe that we put "pure politics” first, but it didn't make a first class handle. The enthusiasm of our Delton friend for primary reform seems to wane as he nears the end of his article, because at the outset he boldly stated that "such relief Is to be found in adopting a primary reform measure," but almost at the close he says," IF primary reform will purify our politics that is what we want, regardless of the welfare of the party.” The latter statement is per­ fectly sane and we fully agree with it, but it is because we do not believe it will accomplish what is claimed for it that we oppose an extreme primaiy reform law. It is only another case of Theory vs. Practice. It is a fine theory but ft fails when tried. We be­ lieve “it is better to be sure than sorry," and to go slow, rather than act radi­ cally. If taken in large enough doses, |. carbolic acid would be a sure cure for ■ th A grip, <Frln hilt A remedy fAmAth’ urrvillr) Ca an the but th the would lx be great deal worse than tbe disease. We want to see every precaution thrown around the primaries, but we are opposed to such an extreme meas­ ure as the Colby bill Mr. Faulkner states In conclusion that a Primary Reform measure will eliminate from politics the political boss and ring and corrupting influences of money, etc. This certainly doesn't harmonise with the experience of other states where it has been tried, or the experience of either Detroit or Grand Rapids where it has been practiced. In addition to throwing every safety possible around the primaries, we be lieve the best and surest remedy is In­ dependent voting.

Mrs. Beyer advises women to use Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound. “ Dkab Mrs. Pinkham : — I guttered with stomach complaint for years. I got so bad that I could not carry my children but five months, then would have a miscarriage. Tbe last time I became pregnant my husband got me to take Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegr-nble Compound. After taking the first bottle I was relieved of the sickness of stomach, and began to feel better in every way. I continued its use and was enabled to carry my baby to maturity. I now have a nice babv girl, and can work better than I ever could before. I am like a new wo­ man.” —Maa. Frank Beym, 22 S. Second St., Meriden, Conn. Another case which proves that no other medicine in the world accomplishes the same results as Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound. “ Dear Mrs. Pinkham >—I was married for five years and gave birth to two pre­ mature children. After that I took Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Com­ pound, and it changed me from a weak, nervous woman to a strong, happy and healthy wife within seven months. With­ in two years a lovely little girl was bom, who is the pride and joy of my household. If every woman who is cured feels as grateful and happy as I do, you must have a host of friends, for every day I bless you for the light, health and happi­ ness Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has brought to my home. Sincerely yours, MbA Mar P. Wharbt, Flat 31, The Norman, Milwaukee, Wis.” Actual sterility in woman is very rare.

He was no such fool as to call the present British reckon­ ing in pounds, shillings and pence sat­ isfactory. His point was that the num­ ber 12 was a better unit than JO. Twelve is twice divisible where 10 is only once divisible. One-quarter of 10 is 2Vj, not an integral number. There are other reasons, based upon the •ob­ served workings of the human mind, all tending to show that to reckon In dozens Is more natural than to reckon in tens as soon as man grows beyond the finger counting stage. In scientific duodecimalism new char­ acters would have to be designed for 10 and 11, while 12 Itself would be writ­ ten 10.

Finally a non-par­ tisap movement was Btartod, a Citizens ticket was placed in. the field and head­ ed by a democrat for Mayor.

F. R. Pancoast. the Citizens ticket received 150 more majority than his republican opponent received votes, and iu a strong republi­ can town. What was the result? Good men of ail partiesacceptednoininatlons for office and worked side by side for the city’s good. A strong Board of Trade was organized, and through the efforts of this body, fifteen thousand dollars (815,000) was raised by volnn tary subucrty'tion and paid to secure an old established manufacturing industry that has a paid in capital stock of 8350,­ 000. And many other good things were accomplished. Hudson to a town of 3,500 people. What it has done, Hastings ought to do, and do easily. Ttiis city needs unity of action, a pull­ ing together, rather than apart and a disposition to treat all interests justly. This can never be if the people, by their votes, sustain present political conditions., which create surroundings that discourage Industry and enterprise. Politics should be dropped. The best element of the city should get together and organize to plug for Hastings, the mqjto at all times being "If you can’t boost, don’t knock.” TownsWp NomtaeUoos. additional local. M Bunann Friday the jury in the Johnstown drain case went out to view the big ditch. The heavy rainfall made an in­ spection of the ditch by boat necessary. Everything went along swimmingly until ie Webster bridge was reached, and there soother boat was in waiting to take a part of the jurors, as one of the boat^ was overloaded. The current was fearfully swift at the bridge, but when it was reached Will Hughes, of Frairievttfe; proposed to show the jurors that he hadn’t exactly forgotten how to do some of the aerobatic stunts of his younger days—and Will is still a young man.' Ab th'to boat passed under the bridge it was going at a two-forty clip, but nothing daunted Will reached up and grabbed the ends of the plank. But, like everything else, they were soaking wet, his fingers slipped, and down he came. All that disturbed the surface of the water for a moment was WiU’s hat which floated down stream. When he came to the surface he was grabbed and pulled up on the bridge. Kind neighbors supplied a needed “change” and Will pluckily finished inspection with the rest of the party, though the target for a lot of good natured bantering which he replied to in kind.

This ought to be the motto, of every citizen of Hastings who has the best interests of the City at heart. It “must be” the motto if we are to grow.

There is no reason why Hastings should not double in population within the next six or eight years if a just and righteous course is pursued. It cannot, and ought not to grow if any other course is taken.

The talk by Mr. Haggart was very timely and appropriate throughout. His remarks were all sound, sensible and logical. He was listened to with the closest of attention, and what he had to say was spoken in a convincing manner. During his brief visit to the city he made many friends, and there is no question but what the Independ­ 1ent Citizens movement was given a 1decided “boosC* as a result of 1 ’’ plain, 'candid, straight-from the-shouider re : marks, and these are the only kind that 'count. ABOUT POULTRY. To begin, my fowls are birds of in­ sponding with one of his usual happy1 off hand talk*, hte good natured ‘ hits”, dividual merits as breeders, or exhibibeing the occasion for frequent gener-1. lion fowls, and their eggs being of more value to me In filling my machine ous applause. Mr. Haggart’s remarks were more in; and furnishing eggs for my customers the nature of a confidential “heart to . thoughout our country, is one of the first reasons. I abandoned the old symstem of hatching and rearing chicks with hens. Now I do not have to waitjor biddies notion to set. I can commence hatching chicks when my best judgement tells me. 1 donot have 'to worry about the machine getting foufcey and quitting its obligation be­ fore it is half through. I do -not have to keep watch that it gets back on ite own nest or do I loose chicks by trample of a nervous and flighty old hen, and the expense in running is no more than the feed for the setting hen and the bare is less. The brooder with 50 chicks takes no more time or care than the old hen with' a brood of three or four or possi­ bly ten. Brooder chicks seldom stray far from their home and shelter, and in cases of sudden showers, they easily gain cover whti>? they are kept safe and ‘dry. The brooder Ji rat and skunk proof, always Welcoming the little peeper to warmth aud comfort, when the old hen would be taking a morning Jstroll or waging war upon bugs and 1grass hoppers, allowing the chick to succumb to the cold from the wet ’ grass. 1 The incubator will hatch as large a 1per cent of chicks froir^fertlle eggs as ’will the hen, and you can raise as large a 3 per cent of the chicks in the brooder as 1 you can with the hen. I am not guessing or am I working for incubator * 'or brooder concern, but know it to be a fact from the ever practicable school of experience. ’ A brooder chick is stronger and will 1mature and feather quicker than one 1raised by a hen. This fact has been 1proven at the experimental stations of various Agricultural Colleges. But like 1 all other stock raising enterprises you 3 1must devote time and study to neces­ !sary requirements of quick growth by feeding and care.

LLECTION RESULTS BOARD OF SUPERVISORS STRONGLY REPUBLICAN. The Citizens Ticket Sweeps the City and it will soon be Mayor Fred • L. Heath. There never was an election so vital to the interests of this city as the one held Monday, nor was there ever a local election in which such despicable means were used to conceal the real issue. Politics in this city have been allowed by the people to get into a most deplorable condition, and one man has practically been ia control of affairs. The Board of Review last year un­ reasonably boosted the assessments of factories and at lehst one of its mem bers boasted about it, so we are in­ formed, and threatened to do so again this year. The members of this board sought to hold the factory owners up before the people as “tax dodgers” and applied namea that would indicate that the factory owners were a lot of sharks, oppressors of labor, and ene­ mies of the city. -Strong appeals were made to the prejudices of the laboring classes seemingly with the idea of arraying the sentiment of the em­ ployees of the city’s institutions against the employers. It stands to reason that no manufacturing concern can be successful when ite employees are arrayed against it; If the people of this city were to up­ hold these politicians in the building up of such a sentiment, it would create conditions that would make manufac­ turing impossible. There is no dis­ guising the fact that had the people of this city sustained the Board of Review the city would have been the loser. The real question before the people tens whether they wanted to keep all the fac­ tories they luive,. or whether they didn't. We are confident that many did not un­ derstand the issue, but that is exactly what it was. Enough did so] under­ stand it to win out. There were those, who did appreciate exactly what the issue was, who were willing to drop politics for the good of the city, who were responsible for putting a non partisan Citizens Independent ticket in the field. Ite success was remark­ able considering that it was “some­ thing new,” and had been placed in the field but a few days before election, and called upon men to forsake party lines.

Kent by Ih Maple Grove the democrats elec nearly al) their township ticket; did not learn the majorities. Staunch old Castleton elects the tire republican ticket, headed by Vic B. Fumies for supervisor, majoril not known to us. Woodland elects the entire republit ticket by majorities ranging from 771 106, John Hynes being reelected supers visor by 85. Woodland Is one of th#! old reliable republican towns where republican majorities can be depended' upon. e Johnstown republicans had it too1 easy this year, there being no oppoeiv j ion ticket in the field. The entire re- publican ticket was therefore elected, I headed by[Gaorge Miller for supervisory! The Johnstown republicans ire well | organized. Results were mixed in Baltimore the !| democrats electing Albert Williams supervisor, aud the clerk, while the republicans ejected everything else. Mike Hendershott, republican nominee, for supervisor, was detained at home on election day and made a most credit-, | ] j ' i able run, considering this. Hastings township republicans broke all previous repofds as far as we know by electing the entire republican ticket by majorities ranging from 20 to 40, headed by Henry Chamberlain for anp- 128 .47 188-10 j ervisor. The boys are entitled to great credit for their splendid work fur the past two or three years, which has counted. The attempt by a few demo-, crate to make political capital by trying to “oust” the republican clerk, resulted disastrously. The greatest surprise was in Carlton, where ■ the republicans elected clerk, treasurer, school inspector, and three constables and came within three vote?. . of electing a supervisor. Many Carl­ ton'democrats resent the self assumed authority of one or two of their own party, and so expressed themselves. In Barry towtiship the entire republi­ can ticket is elected headed by Super­ visors Albert Lawrence, who was re­ elected by over 60 majority. Hope republicans, returned Chas, Cock as Supervlior by about- 40 major­ ity and elected the balance of the ticket Charlie is the present Chair­ man of the Board, and a first class • official. John Kurtz, the present supervisor of Rutland is one of the most influential members of the Board of Supervisor*, and the people of this democratic town­ ship recognized his ability Monday by re-electing him for a third time. A lv* Seeber, a republican, was also elected Treasurer. His democratic opponent was a good, capable man, but bad in­ curred the enm|ty of some of the mor* prominent members of bls party who “turned him down” hard. Balance of the ticket was democratic. Irving township, which is getting to be one of the staunch republican town* of the county, elected the entire republi­ can ticket Monday, headed by Ed. Johnson, the present supervisor who was re elected by upwards of 80 major. Ity. Good work boys. Prairieville elected the entire re- . publican ticket, headed by John Doster, the present prominent and efficient Supervisor of that township. There was but one ticket in the field in Orangeville township and that wa* the republican, therefore the entire re­ publican ticket was elected, headed by A. M. Nevins the present supervisor, . who is a very capable man. Orange* ville republicans seem to be getting in* to their old tlme'form. Yankee Springs rolled up one of it* old time majorities, electing Harry Ritchie as supervisor by a large ma­ jority, and the balance of the ticket 1* republican ranging from 50 to 73.

Mass., tells this story of Ben Butler; “I had an important law case on, and I felt no one could win that case for me but Ben Butler. He was in Wash­ ington at the time. 1 went to Wash­ ington and after hard scrabbling for two days got an audience with him. He said he wouldn’t take my case for a day. He had more work on his hands now than be could attend to, and he went about his work right then. . “ ’General,’ I said. ‘I was born In the same town with you.’ “He grunted, but wasn’t otherwise affected that 1 could see. ’* ’Do you remember little Mika.----- ? And you remember tbe boy who used to send notes to her and tbe boy who used to take them? 1 am the boy who took~the notes.’ “ ’And 1 am the boy who sent them,’ said the general. He held out bls hand. •I guess I’ll take your case after alU be said, and he did and won it” 1 Mary as a4CL. ..ian name was held In very singular veneration during the mediaeval ages, aud iu some parts of Europe there existed a superstitious reluctance among men to marrying any one who chanced to have been so chris­ tened. or the bride elect was at least re­ quired to change this name for some other of less sanctity. All Marys were at one time believed to be Invested with extraordinary row­ ers in connection with the 'affair-* of life. Bearing the same name as Iht pleased Virgin, they were considered worthy of more than common consid­ eration, and their personal influence over their husbands especially was un­ usual; hence many men sorght au­ thoritative ordhiances forbidding their wives to be known as Mar?'. Sover­ eigns. in some cases, dreading subjec­ tion to their partners, showed a mark­ ed distaste for Marys. Thus Alfonso IV. of Castile, when on the point of wedding a Moorish maid­ en. made it a condition of the mar­ riage that at her baptism, ns a recent convert to Christianity, slie should not take this name. In the articles settled for the union of Ladlslns of Poland with Marie de. Nevers there was a clause which‘bound this princess to change ber name to Aloysa. Casimir I. of Poland, who married Mary, daughter of the Diike of Russia, re­ quired of her a similar sacrifice to pop­ ular sentiment.—Pearson’s Weekly. SAL'LT 8TE.

A long stride t.Ward solving the mystery of curing catarrh was taken with the discovery of Hyomei. In fact, the percentage of curee by this treatment proves it equal to the final tests. , The folly of taking medicine into the stomach to cure catarrh of the nose, throat and lungs, has been realized by physicians, but not until Hyomei was known, bad they a practical method that would obviate stomach drugging. A complete Hyomei outfit costs but SI, and consists of a neat pocket in­ haler that can be used anywhere with­ out attracting attention, a medicine dropper and a bottle of Hyomei. Breathing Hyomei through the in­ haler, every particle of air that enters tbe nose, throat and lungs, is charged with a healing balsam that soothes and allays aU irritation, kUlf1 the catarrhal germs and enriches the blood with ad­ AtKlo'pho’ids . | Th.

Here la another of those remarkable •arcs of torturing, disfiguring skin hu­ mors dally made by Cuticura Resolv­ ent, assisted by Cuticura Oir-tment and Soap, after physicians, hospitals and all else had failed. I feel it my duty to try to help those suturing from skin diseases. My case was a very bad one, covering all of one side of my face and bad reached my eye. I had two or three doctors pre­ scribe without any relief. They said my disease was Epithelioma. I was then advised to go to one of our hos­ pitals, which I did, taking their treat* ment for some time. I had given up all hope when my husband asked me to try the Cuticura Remedies. My face being In such a very bad state, .1 used the Cuticura Soap with luke-warm water and a small silk sponge and then applied the Cuticura Ointment. I took one tea­ spoonful of the Resolvent four times a day. They acted like a charm, and in one week’s time my face was cured en­ tirely and lias remained so. I certainly can recommend the Cuucura Remedies as iatfUUble.** MRS. A. G. SMITH, t 2400 Catharine St., Feb. 9, 1903. Philadelphia.

What was pro­ nounced by many to be the speech of the convention was made by Senator Glasgow in endorsing Mr. Hamilton. The senator's experience in the legis­ lature was plainly noticeable, and those who had the pleasure of listening to him were pleased to note his marked improvement Along oratorical lines, and C. L. never was very slow when it came to making a speech. Every word that he uttered had the ring of true, honest conviction and his speech was frequently interrupted with ap­ plause.

April 24.-June 28 has been set aside by the authorities of the Louisiana Purchase exposition as ’•Unlverelty of Michigan Day." The Influence of tnls unlxersity in the de­ velopment of the Louisiana Purchase ‘ territory has been extensive. The Uni­ versity of Michigan was the forerunner, and In numerous respects the model, of the state universities that are a pe­ culiar feature of education in the west as distinguished from the east. Through the teachers, ’ physicians, engineers, lawyers, or other graduates', there is no western state, perhaps hot a western county, that has not within it a Michi­ gan graduate or non-graduate former student. The influence of the alumni of the law department is especially notice­ able. The University of Michigan day at St. Louis is intruded.- of course, fw former students of Michigan, wherever they may now reside. Suitable exercises will be held during the day.

GERRIT J.jDiEKEMA, Chairman. Alwarp. Secy. | I JENH1S E. B. । i Primary Reform. Hastings, ^pHl 21,1WW. J5ditore of the Banner^— • , I have read with considerable care all you have said in relation to’Primary • Beform and as. I cannot (understand how you reach some of your conclu­ sions, I feel impelled to say a word. I will premise what I shall say by tbe Statement that I am entirely and forwver out of politics save to do that Which ia at once the privilege and the duty of every voter. If this shall strike you as a voice from the tomb, that will be all right. As I understand your contention; ^you are opposed to (a general primary . law, chiefly because it "wipes out the rule of the majority” and you cite the tmwb of Grand Rapids where Mr. Westolius, the successful candidate, re­ ceived only one third of the votes cast by his party. I should say if the votes Were honestly cast and honestly countM then, Mr. Weaselius was certainly the man who should have been chosen. It seems from the vote that no man Wm tbe choice of a majority of the Voters. Such being the fact, will the Hanner kindly explain by what pos­ sible process a convention could have taade one such? Suppose a delegate Convention had been held. If these delegates reflected the views of the people, of course Mr. Weaselius would have had the vptes of one third of them on the first ballot. Suppose his vote to Increase until be had a majority and the nomination had been made unan­ imous. How would that help the mat­ ter any so far as the people are con cemed? Would not the rule of the majority have been “wiped out” just the same? Evidently if any of the other candidates had been chosen, the matter would have been still worse. Suppose the convention had dead-lockod and a dark horse had been choaen, one that not ten per cent of the people Would have supported. If no man is the choice of a majority, then certainly fco method of selection can possibly, make him such. If such a man exists the primary system, honestly adminis­ tered. will select him. The delegate System might do it but there is not the •lightest certainty that it will do any­ thing of the sort. Which plan is more likely to concern the “rule of the ma JorityY” Really now does not this “majority” ^dea have its root in the fact that too often a few self constituted bosses as­ sume that what they want is certainly What the people ought to want? To Illustrate: In a newspaper interview a prominent politican of this county de­ clared several weeks ago that “Barry bounty is undoubtedly fbr Warner.” That may be the fact. I don’t profess lo know the sHghtebt thing about it, yet I beleive I know just as much about it as he did. Our combined knowledge could easily be expressed by a large cipher. The trouble seemed to be that be some how got his identity mixed un with that of the county. I note in jour reply to Mr. Faulkner you favor the Idea of electing dele^kM by the method now uaed for eleettonr.

W. CLARKE The System We Guarantee Woolley & Bronson John Bessmer, Renkes & Walldorff’s Carpets law a& it now stands. J believe Sen­ ator Washburn was entirely right when he said, “I have heard many complaints about the new law, but if you will notice they all have their source in the professional political manipulator to whom its provisions are odious." Very respectfully. Enoch Andrus, Our Reply. The Banner by no means Wishes to be understood as opposing any reform of the primaries. The corrupt use of money In politics Is something that every honest citizen wants to see wiped out. The Banner favors primary re­ form. but does oppose the extreme measure, now being urged by Mr. Stearns, who only a few years ago was one of a trio to conduct a boodle cam­ paign that disgraced the fair name- of this state. We feel that the very fact thai an extreme primary reform meas­ ure is being championed by Mr. Stearns, whom past experience has shown Isn’t averse to uifing money very • freely in politics, Is sufficient cause, to approach an extreme measure with at least some caution. Popular government is based upon majority rule. The extreme primary reform law does away with this anfi permits a plurality rule. In order to demonstrate this In a previous article, we cited the case of the nomination of Mr. Wessel I us, of Grand Rapids^ for mayor of that city, where "reforms" of various kinds are seemingly very , much needed. Mr. Wessel I us received only about one-third of the vote cast' for mayor at the primary and was nomi­ nated because he received more votes than any of his competitors. The elec­ tion, however, decided quite emphatic­ ally that he wasn’t the choice of the voters, for while the balance of the Re­ publican ticket was elected by oyer 3,000 majority. Mr. Weaselius waa de­ feated by 1.00b or 1.200. Under our present caucus and convention system it takes a majority to nominate. Cau­ cuses are held, which are privileged to attend. The sentiment of townships •nd wards I, expreered by tbe election of delegates, who have to receive a ma­ I jorlty vote. And any candidate who re­ ceives a majority of the votes of dele­ gates, who represent the majority of the people of the townships and wards is pretty apt to represent the majority sentiment. . The Banner believes that a primary law should be pasted by the next legis­ lature, but in passing It we would op­ pose any radical, extreme action. We believe it would be unjust and unwise for the state to force upon any county any law that it did not want It should be left optional tn a large measure.

When you have those twinges that hurt so acutely, you can say truly: “Thai’s Uric acid in my Sys-' . tem." There’s no uncertainty about that The cure for Rheumatism is to re­ move the Uric acid. No external rem­ edy of any kind can do this. You must get inside the body to drive out Uric acid. Athlophoros is a fighter. It chases >11 over the system after the Uric acid —finds it—dissolves it—drives it out absolutely. It removes the cause of Rheumatism and stops the pain. Our book, “Rheumatism—Its Cause hnd Cure." will ^how you how not to create Uric acid. Send four cents for it, Athlophoros Co., New Haven. Conn. If your druggist doezaH sell It, kt us know.

God knows what keys In the human soul to touch' In order to draw out Its most harmonious melodies. They may. be the minor strains of sadness and sorrow; they may be tbe lottier notes of joy and gladness. God knows where the melodies of our natures are. and what discipline will bring them forth. Some with plaintive tongues must walk Ln lowly vales of life’s weary’way; oth­ ers, in loftier hymns, sing of nothing but joy, as they tread the mountain­ tops of life: but the^all unite without discord or jar, as the ascending an­ them of loving and believing hearts finds its way into the chorus of the redeemed of heaven. No family can afford to do without music. It is a luxury and an economy; an alleviator of sorrow, and a spring of enjoyment; a protection against vice, an Incitement to virtue. When right­ ly used, its effects, physical. Intellectual and moral are good, very good and only good. Make home attractive; music affords a means of doing this. Contrib­ ute kindly feeling and love. Myslc will help in this work. Keep out angry feeling. “Music hath charms to soothe the savage breast.” Show us the fam­ ily where good music Is cultivated, where the parents and children are accustomed often to mingle their voices together in song, and we will show you one where peace, harmony and love prevail, and where the great voices have no abiding place. Nothing tenders the heart and opens the gushing fountain of love, more than the exercise of gratitude. Like tbe showers of spring, that cause flow­ ers to rise from seeds that have long lain dormant, tears of gratitude awaken pleasurable sensations, unknown to those who have never been forced from the sunshine of prosperity Into the Cold shade of adversity, where no warmth Is felt but that of benevolence; no light enjoyed but that of charity; unless it shall be the warmth and light communicated from’ Heaven to the sln- Come now It must be done at once Woodlaad. . cerely pious, who alone are prepared to care for us, whose heart grew humble .---- Wisjth |jut । meet with calm submission,- the keen by the multitude of her prayers In our Daniel Williams very ecoveiy. and chilling winds of misfortune, and behalf: whose face grew more tender little hopes of his recoyer; A good warm rain is very much who. above all others, exercise the vir- ns the years marked their progress tue of gratitude.

Mich., May 8.—Ludington. Mich., was selected by the state mil­ itary board yesterday at their meet­ ing at the Hotel Metropole as the place where the troops of the state of Mich­ igan will hold their annual encamp­ ment Tbe maneuvers will begin Au­ gust 21 and last for nine days, camp being broken on the first day of Sep­ tember. 1 -• Generals Kidd and Green, who were appointed as a committee on site, have, during the past month, visited the half dozen places offered, and at the meet­ ing they recommended that Ludington be selected because of the ample rail­ way facilities and tbe immense stretch of territory on which the troops can march about. There is also a .200acre patch of high ground where the tents may be pitched. Governor Bliss was present at the meeting and ex­ pressed himself as being entirely sat­ isfied with Ludington. , H. F. B$oeller. passenger agent of the Fere Marquette, was present and made a speech, setting forth the advantages of the Ludington site. He said that the necessary railway sidings would be put Ln. The site selected Is just about three miles north of what - - ■is exiled the "Epworth league camping _____ ” and Is reached by ••Stearns grounds, Epwort League railroad." Besides the entire body of stale troops, Governor Bliss has petitioned the secretary of war for a body of regu­ lars. as many as can be spared, and it is not unlikely that a detachment of cavalry swlll be sent from Fort Sheri­ dan.

"Until the papers are signed, however, the name of the successful bidder will be with­ held. •The taking of the bond issue by the company which uow has it, also makes It certain that the road will be oper­ ated under the third-rail system.

"When that party has finished its trip, con­ demnation proceedings will be started for the property we were unable to buy." In all probability the same company which builds the line from Grand Rap­ ids to Ionia will also construct the road from Ionia to Owosso.

ANN ARBOR. Mich., May 8.-On© of the most remarkable sights at the university is afforded by the engineer­ ing shops. The spectacle of count­ less students bent over intricate ma­ chinery. hammering out red-hot iron, and performing other manual work Is always instructive to the visitor who disbelieves that universities give practical training to their under gradu­ ates. In these shops, students are taught carpentry, pattern making ma­ chine work, forging, molding and de­ signing. But occasionally some cautious on­ looker ventures the opinion: "Yes. that’s all right, but it must cost the state a mighty pile to run these shops." As a matter of fact, however, the shops are rapidly becoming self-supporting. A recent examination showed that during the last five years, the attendance upon the shop* course had Incf eased 202 per cent; and that the value of the work produced had increased nearly 300 per certt. The Income froni students' shop fees Is now about five times as much as ft was five years ago: while the Increase tn the cost of Instruction Is but 25 per cent greater now than then. In the same length ot time the total annual expense of operating the shops has in­ creased about 50 per cent while the Income has Increased 200 per cent. Since '99 $2,054) has been expended for im­ provements, $550 of it for the equipmeat of the instrument room. . It is estimated that by anpther year, the student attendance for the engineer­ ing department will reach the 1,000 mark: and then the annual Income will not be gfeatly below the cost of oper­ ation.

I can truthfully say that they have saved her life, and any one suffering as she did, I should advise them to give Cuticura a fklr trial.” MRS. G. A. CONRAD, Lis­ bon, N. H., Feb. 7. 18V8. Five years later, viz., Feb. 23, 1903, Mrs. Conrad writes “ It is with pleasure that I can inform you that the cure has been.periuanent as it is now six years since she wns cured, and there has been no return of the disease since, and I have advised a lot of friends to use the Cuticura Remedies iu all diseases of the skin." Instant relief and refreshing sleep for skin-tortured babies, and rest for tired, fretted mothers, in warm baths with Cuticura Soap and gentle anointings with Cuticura Ointment, the great skin cure aud purest of emollients, to be fo'-lowedln severe cases by mild doses of Cuticura Resolvent. This is the putest, sweetest, most speedy, per­ manent and economical treatment for torturing, disfiguring, itching, burning, bleeding, scaly, crusted and pimply skin aud scalp humours, eczemas, rashes and irritations.

There are no men and women, however poor they may be, but have it in their power, by the grace of God, to leave behind them the grandest thing on earth­ character; and their children might rise up after them andjthank God that their mother was a pious woman or their father a pious man. Of all the words cherished in the recollection of man—of all tbe words held sacred In his memory, that of mother falls upon his heart with the most sublime Influence. Through helpless Infancy her throbbing heart If you love your wife let her know It now *nd then by acta aud words of praise and kindness. Don’t wait un­ til she Is'sick or dying to bring the fact to her notice. It your wife has an instrun>ent, ask her to play for you sometlmee, and fit by and turn th* leaves and when finished thank her. You were not backward.to confess your love once. .You did not think it silly or sensual to do so then. Why should it be so now? Go home sometimes and press a kiss upon her lipa as tenderly as you were wont to do In your lover days and see if the tell-tale blood don't rush to her cheek and happy ttyirs to her eyes. We wonder how ipany wives there are in our land today that have not heard their husbands say for a score of years, "I love you." Oh. we know there are some that hunger for love tokens. Husbands, If you have a happy home keep the foundation of your love pure and sweet. She left all to join her destiny with yours, to make your home happy and meet your wishes. So treat your wife with the tenderness you were wont to treat her in ffle days you sought to win her for your own. You may have forgotten the past, but she has not. Maybe she is wearing out her life to make your home cozy and comfortable and pleas­ ant for you. Let her know sometimes you appreciate her services. Think of the- manly tenderness that in youth gained her affections. Her charms may not be so great as then,, but remember the little acts of kindness that ought to have strengthened your friendship. A true wife wishes to feel sure she is precious to her husband, not useful and convenient, but dear. Your wife will stand by you through, storm and sunshine, if you will let her. We say to you. husbands, love your wives as you love yourself, continue through life the same. Take this as your part and do better. Give kind words while they are here.

The upper half of each flower was almost pure white while the lower part was the brightest kind of a blue. Such a con­ trast in the same blossom met with in ewen our cultivated flowers, and it makes this little plant well worth searching for.

It didn’t get in that way. Rubbing with oil, bandaging with salve, applying hot compresses won’t do. Your Rheumatism got into your sys­ tem through exposure or faults of’di­ gestion. You must go after it the same way, if you expect to be cured! That’s what Athlophoros does, and does a lit-, tie better than anything else. It cures because it goes directly to the cause! Sounds sensible, does it not? It’s also true. We can show you how to get well, so that you may never have Rheumatism after being cured of it.

The other morning in our rambles we met a little ragged urchin, whom we thought to be ~lost. “Where is your home?” we inquired of the little black­ eyed boy. Pointing to an old beggar woman across the street he said; “That is my toother, and where mother is, that is my home." How true was the answer. Where mother is, is home. Home is the magic circle within which the weary spirit finds refuge. It is the sacred asy- Royal Saves Health Ium to which the careworn heart re­ treats to find rest from the toils and cares of life. Home and mother are words that touch every fiber of our souls. As deaf as home can be is the mother who presides over It. Long years may have flown since we saw that home, aud since the dearest of ail earthly friends has slept the long and silent sleep of death; but that home and that mother will never cease to awaken the sweetest recollections of our lives. .

NO. 4. Hastings Banner THE BAR BANQUET HELD AT M. E. SOCIETY ROOMS MONDAY EVENING A Very Enjoyable Program Was Car­ ded Out. Judges Wiest and Wolcott Were Present. The seventh annual banquet of the Barry Co. Bar Association was held Monday evening at the Methodist Church,Society Rooms, and was a very enjoyable occasion for the members of the Association ami their guests. The rooms had been tastefully decor­ ated and the tables elegantly spread for the banquet by the Methodiet ladies. The menu was elaborate and excellent in quality, and was served in 1 faultless manner. The wants of the inner man” were certainly provided •. in a way that was most satisfactory . and elicited the most flattering and well deserved compliments from both the bar and their guests for the evening. Covers were laid for 54. At the conclusion of the banquet proper, Mr. Thomas Sullivan, president ■: the' Association, in well chosen words introduced Philip T. Colgrove* ‘as toastmaster for the evening. It is needless to say that Mr. Colgrove was equal to the occasion, and his introduc­ tions of the various speakers were in a happy vein, and enlivened by stories and anecdotes wel) timed for such a gathering. The first sentiment was “Litigants as the Court Sees Them” by Judge Clem­ ent Smith. Litigants were by the MH'aker separated into three classes: (1) • .foolish litigants who go to law without . thinking what it means, or knowing ’ just why they are before the court; per­ a rse litigants, whose stubborn wills or ■nirpose to gain something without re­ gard to equity and justice, and caring »' ahi ng about the means by which they hope to win, bring them into the courts; and (3) honest litigants, who feel they have just causes, but who if beaten accept the results without feel­ rugs of anger or bitterness. From his iong experience as a lawyer and on the l**nch. Judge Smith was able to draw frequent instances and Incidents that threw light upon the subject assigned him. •’ A Lawyer’s Reward” was responded to by Hartley E. Hendrick in a most creditable manner. To his mind the reward the lawyer should strive for most earnestly was to gain the confi­ dence of his fellow men, that they would feel disposed to trust In him and rely on his honor and integrity. Such a lawyer might never be a rich , man, buthe would till a large place in 1 the community where he lived, and ' largely mould its character and proj mole its highest welfare. Miss Vinuie Beam next? favored the banqueters with a recitation which was so nicely rendered that she was com­ pelled to respond to an encore. Mrs. Frank Hams always a favorite on such occasions as this, next rendered that beautiful solo “Angus McDonald.” It so pleased her auditors that an en­ core was demanded and most.happily given. i The Association was fortunate in securing Judge Alfred Wolcott, of Grand Rapids, who in an easy, off hand manner discussed “The Lawyer in Pub­ lic Life.” It was a splendid theme, and handled in a manner befitting its im­ portance. The earnest words of the speaker as he urged the duty of the good lawyer as well as the good citizen to take an earliest, active interest in public affairs, will not be forgotten by those who heard them. In a humorous manner W. W. Potter explained how the court, lawyers and jury, in a recent drain case in this coun­ ty, put in the time "Viewing the Prem­ ises,” while the rain was pouring and the waters raging. John C. Ketcham’s theme was “Schools and Courts” and was present­ ed in his easy, thoughtful manner. The two distinctly American Institu­ tions which had the respect of our peo. pie were the schools and the courts, the One to open men’s minds to the truth and enable them to do and see their public duties as well as perform their own work more acceptably, the other to compel all to observe right relation­ ship .with their fellow men. The concluding number was “Profes­ sional Integrity to Court and Clients” by Judge Howard Wiest, of Lansing. It was indeed a privilege to bear Jndge Wiest discuss this topic. Space forbids extended mention. Wre can only say that it was a most thoughtful address, and every member of the bar as well as their guests was not merely entertained but were instructed by the thoughts presented by Judge-Wiest The Association was fortunate in being able to secure these two Judges, the one in bis fearless coarse in the HA5T1NO5, MICHIGAN.

EIGHT DOCTORS And Many Remedies Failed to do a Cent's Worth of Good. “ About five years ago I was troubled with sore bands, soSwe that when I would put them in waterlhe pain would very nearly set me crazy, the akin would peel off and the flesh would get hard and break. There would be blood flow­ inc from at least fifty places on each hand. Words could never tell the suf­ fering I endured for three years. I tried everything that I was told to use for fully three years, but could get no relief. I tried at least eight different doctors, but none of them seemed to do me any good, as my hands were as bad when I got through doctoring as when I first began. I also tried many reme­ dies, but none of them ever did me one cent's worth of good. I was discour­ aged and heart-sore. I would feel so bad mornings when I got up, to think I had to go to work and stand the. pain for ten hours, and I often felt like giv­ ing up my position. Before I started to work mornings I would have to wrap every finger up separately, so as to try aud keep them soft ahd then wear gloves over the rags to keep the grease from getting on my work. At night I would have to wear gloves in bed. In fact, I had to wear gloves all the time. But thanks to Cutlcura, the greatest of all great skin cures. After doctoring for three years, and spending much money, a 50c. box of Cutlcura Ointment ended all my suffer­ ings. It’s been two years since I used any and I don’t know what sore hands are now, and never lost a day’s work while using Cuticura Ointment." THOMAS A. CLANCY, 310 N. Montgomery St., Trenton, N. J.

In studying the violet we ball these tufts beards and in speakiing about.this particular violet we say the lateral petals are bearded. The re­ maining petal is called the lower petal and it is so different from the rest that one feels it ought to set off from the others, as it is, that it is a sort of odd one in the petal group. If you will carefully remove this lower petal from the flower, tearing it as little as pos­ sible, you will see that indeed it is an “odd one” for instead of being flat and rounding as the other petals are it i« .1 >ng and projects behind the flower in| the form of a blunt tube.

When a responsible business house like this comes out and advertises that Hyomei will not.cost a penny unless it does all that Is claimed for it, it shows what re­ markable confidence they have in this scientific medical treatment. A complete Hy<-mei outfit consists of a neat inhaler, that can be carried in pocket or puree, a medicine dropper and a bottle of Hyomei, and it costs but 81. % The inhaler lasts a lifetime and when extra bottles of Hyomei are needed, they can be obtained for 50 cents. This treatment does away with all disagreeable aud dangerous stomach dosing. Breathed through the Hyomei inhaler for a few minutes four times a day, it impregnates every particle of air taken into the air passages and lungs with germ-killing and health-giving balsams. In this way it cures lhe mbst chronic and deep-seated eatarrahal diseases of the air passages and res­ piratory organs. The uaer is the sole judge whether Hyomei is to be paid for or not. If it does not help, Mr. Holloway will cheer­ fully return the money and it will not cost a penny. Hendershott Schoo! House.

June 6.— Officially the greatest great camp.of ihe Modern Maccabees ever held has begun. The executive committee com­ menced business sessions at the Post tavern this morning, headed by "Father" N. S. Boynton of Port Huron, the great commander. The committee never faced a harder week's work than now Iles before it. The location of the great temple is the all absorbing topic. Port Huron is holding on with a grip of a drown­ ing man. Grand Rapids and Detroit are sufficiently interested to guaran­ tee an arjny of temple rooters number­ ing In the thousands. Battle Creek is doing the "silent wora" that brought the Grand Trunk shops here and re­ cently landed the gre;it American Cereal .company from Chicago, from a field of shouting and bouustog Ameri­ can cities. Many Delegates Arrive. Delegates are beginning to arrive, to secure the earliest chances at rooms. Propositions to lease entire hotels! have been made, and promptly rejected by the owners. Every hotel has been ipractlcally "booked solid" for weeks past.

Of the 215 not instructed delegates it is said that -not one will vote against the President. This indeed reflects the general sentiment of tbfreountry for the re-election of the President. Theodore Roosevelt measures up to the standard required of a chief executive. His every effort has been “to do the right thing” by everyone. Every interest has be?n protected. In the settlement of the coal strikes, capital was given to understand that the general public had rights to be respected and a serious coal famine that threatened the country was averted. He is a safe man; he has proven himself equal to every emergency; and under his guidance this country will enjoy four more years of prosperity because he stands for “right things." It is stated the Japanese have com­ menced their attack on Port Arthur by land and sea. The Russians have started another army to relieve the be­ sieged eity; In the opinion of war ex­ perts this is a poor policy as it will be risking everything upon one move, which if. unsuccessful will prove very disastrous to the Ruslan cause. The people of Russia are becoming restless under the successive defeats suffered by the army and navy of the Czar, and any decisive defeat might cause an upris­ ing against |the government. Every­ thing seems to Indicate that Russia has about ail she wants on her hands' now without facing a rebellion of her people. Benefits of An Education. We wish that every patron of our schools, and every friend or our public school system, could have listened to the address of County School Commis­ sioner Ketcham at the Presbyterian church Sunday evening, when he gave a talk upon Ihe “Benefits of an Educa­ tion.” Though everyone eoncedea the excellence of our sehool system, yqt present day experience tends to shew that it has its defects, which the trained experience of our best educators are seeking to overcome. Mr. Ketcham took the broad position that an educa­ tion doesn’t consist of stuffing the minds and thoughts of pupils with a lot of facts and figure® that will soon be forgotten, but that the aim should be to aid pupils in mentally digesting the information given them in order that they make practical use of it. In this line Mr. Ketcham took the oppor­ tunity of encouraging the establish­ ment of Manual Training Schools along with high schools, so that the bands, as well as the minds, could be educated. The pleasure of the evening was increased by recitations by Mrs. George Menhennick, solos by'^Mr. Fred nttt^ALLEAfcr , B C a* ,oll°'■ tj*0™**® pension Mar 1 v If this Picture does not convince you that the WAISTS Malleable Steel Range FIRE ALL YOUR MALL ALL YOU'R A largt Una of Sample Walats In whita at leas than manufacturer’s cost resents better value your moneyjthan any ITS WON-BREAK STEEL Ano MALLE Do not mi»« thli other Range (irrespectiv of who makes it, whe e it is made or what it sells for) the fault is in this Picture, $3.00 values at .. . - Si 50 98 1.25 & 1.50 values. 75c values opportunity. $2 & $2.50 valiies at $1 a5 1.00J75 SO not in the Range.

Discoverer of the Anao. Here. In farm clothes and cowhide bqot*. labors the man who collected for. the Buffalo exposition exhibits from South America, and was one of the first scientists to give the United States government definite information about the Philippines; the man who has in­ creased the world’s knowledge of. ani­ mals by discovering 100 new specitiH and a new genus. His first scientific trip was from 1871 to 1870. in South America. Formosa and Australia: the second in 1879 at the mouth of the Aamazon. He went to the Philippine islands in 1887 to 1888, and In 1900. the Smithsonian In­ stitute sent him to study the debatable land in South America between Peru and Bolivia. The most signal success of his work was the discovery in the Philippines of a new species of animal, the anao or tuinarov. This animal is. a dangerous] beast of the island of Mindanao, with a pair of horns so formed that when | Its head is lowered they set like bayo- [ nets at charge. The beast plunges straight through the Jungle thickets at any object which approaches, fn, the Philippines Professor Steere Is ialso credited with :he discovery of 50 [new species of birds and insects. Most scientists are satisfied to study' for years In order to discover even oneinew species. New Theory of Bird Life. From observation of birds and insects । he has been able to show that the | Philippines were 'hwer a part of the mainland of Asin, abut that the islands were at some time connected with each other, and that the separating seas may become land again. The new theory of bird life, that only •ne specie* of a kind can exist in the same place, was promulgated by Pro­ fessor Steere. In sea bound islands all over the world the farmer-professor first observed this fact. Professor Steere has studied In person cannibal tribes never visited by other white men. Yet the learned man turned aside from all this to focus his powers of observation and high attainments upon the possibilities of American marsh soil. Here, as'in the wild forests, he is studying In this case the laws by which nature produces profitable crops of onions, celery and lettuce. On the farm he will kneel for hours to pull weeds with his fingers, and then will slip away to sit tn a corner of the field with a scientific book. Even the old sheds on the professor’s onion patch are filled, with the same contrasts be­ tween learning and hard labor The most weather beaten shed in miles around Is filled with the rarest reptiles and birds of the Amazon. Any day the. government may ask him to leave farm drudgery’ to cross , the ocean on some great quest, or he I may hit upon a new 'development of the American onion. DETROIT. Mich..

And I don’t blame the women for being in­ terested because they were all very beautiful. < When it comes to trained animals Hagenbeck, the great animal trainer, is head and shoulders above them all. No one should visit the World’s fair without seeing this show. It is simply marvelous, there being trained dogs, bears, seals, lions and other animals, and educated to do stunts that seem well nigh impossible. The Irish Village at the end of the Pike is also interesting, there being a reproduction of Cannae’s Castle, the old House of Parliament at Dublin, and St. Lawrence’s Gate. HA5TINO5, MICHIGAN.

The Individual Efforts Were Excel­ lent and the Attendance Was Very Large. The class of 1901 were able to dis­ pell the hoodoo in the shape of cold windy weather and threatening skfes. which has marred the graduating ex­ ercises of tnte past three years, and a re­ turn to the beautiful days which had graced commencement since the in-auguration of the pleasing custom of out door exercises fifteen years ago, was enjoyed Friday on the occasion of the 27th annual commencement of the Hastings Schools. It was just such a day as teachers, class and patrons of the schools had been hoping for, and the large customary crowd was present. The platform, erected* in the court yard, was simply decorated in green and white, the class colors, a “1904” of large dimensions, and American flags being used in the background, but the most pleasing effect was when tbe sw«Mit gir| graduates, in their pretty, fluffy gowns of thin white made in the quaint and charming 1830siyles, march­ ed onto the platform and took their places together with the young gentle­ men of the class, the High School fac­ ulty and the Board of Education, Troxel’s orchestra readering a spirited march. The invocation was very eloquently and earnestly given by Rev. H. H. VanAuken. and after a selection of music, “Coming Over the Sea" by a male quar tette, composed of Messrs Ketcham, Crawley, Barber and Horton, the salu­ tatory was given by Miss Harriett R. Goodyear. ?She opened with a pen picture of the welcome and greeting accorded an American man-of-war in a foreign port, and cited other incidents in which the welcome plays an import­ ant part, and in cordial well chosen words extended the customary wel­ come in behalf of the class. The class history by William Ed­ wards came next and was unique in its absolute originality over.the usual line of class histories. He reviewed briefly, in his opening, the history of the Has­ tings schools, comparing tbe meagre beginning with the pleasant, splendid result. Of the sixteen members of his clast six had entered the school from the first grade while five others had re ceived the greater share of their edu­ cation here. Instead of giving the in­ dividual history of each member, the historian treated each member in their relationship to the class considered as a composite body, showing how the class by the combining of various in­ dividual qualities was given a pe«oj,' ality ali its own, and proceeded to tell in a witty and finished manner the characteristics contributed by vzriou. member., all ot which combin­ ed iu forming the class of HKM, which he likened to a Mosaic, as fine as erer came from the great Florentine majters, diversified In form, color and val­ ue, brought together by four years el honest toil and polished bythe hands of those who had been charged with its PW°.n' pleMing selection, "The Burgomaster" by TroxeTs orchestra, the class oration waa given by Arth“* Andrus, who bv the wav, is the Mventh Andrus to receive a diploma from the Hastings High school and who accord­ ing to the historian was further dist ncubbed by baring come in seven miles no school, and carried seven subjects, a stndy for every mile. He had chosen as his topic Theodore Roosevelt, saying that while there was a P«Pul« ment in America against eulogizing a man while he still lives and wo**- Wb‘sdss,tt’’°^ « in public life, th7>u«L^ISe“SSc after advancement until the tragic death of McKinley thrust on him the greatest office in our land. ,Tbe or“tl.?“ no hum a POU'X-’W** & orator endeavoring tc' P"*"1 , characteristics of the President in a way that young Atnericans might take to heart tbe lewon of his life, for R on such men that America risks ae hope, confident that the.future will find ner morality untarnished and her glory undimmed. J The class motto “Freuh nebt sich was ein Meister werden will” was in the capable hands of Miss Katherine Vaa\ alkenburgh. The motto was a®1***1 from Schiller’b renowned drama ol'William Tell. The incident wife remonstrates with him for teaching the boy the use of the bow and arrow. He replies with the words of the motto, the English of which Is “He who would become a mas­ ter must begin early.” The speaker drew attention to the youth of Edison Llstz, Micheal Angelo and Webster, as furnishing a splendid exemplification or the motto. The importance of early preparation was brought out, and to the lack of it the unfortunate and un­ successful career of many was attribut­ ed- Selfmastery, she truly said, is the first great step toward becoming a mas­ ter for any one who has attained suc­ cess will tell you, you must first be­ come master of your own self. After a beautiful rendition by ^he male quartette of thd familiar old school song “We are bidding farewell to the old scenes” Glenn Waite gave the class essay,-his topic being “The Negro Pro­ blem,” a question, he said that present­ ed more difficulties, dangers and dis couragements than any before in the history of our country. He briefly re­ viewed tbe history of the negro in our own country, from the flrst introducJon of slavery in 1619.down to the pres­ ent time, and of the remarkable growth of the negro peculation from four and a half millions at the close of the civil war to nine millions to the pres­ ent day, eight millions of whom are in the south. Booker T. Washington’s work and theories were recommended. All men north and south, he said, who have the highest welfare of the country at heart may well unite their efforts and their influence towards the solu­ tion of this problem. The Prophecy of the class was given by MissgGrace Grant in a happy, breezy manner. From her standpoint she was in Berlin May 17, 1V90, and was review­ ing the careers of her classmates of 1904. All acquainted with the fair prophetess would know that in her hands their careers would not be lack­ ing in uniqueness and originality. From commander-in-chief of the I’. S. army in the Philippines down to um­ brella mender ami feather renovator the course of their lives had run. Another selection was given by Troxel’s orchestra, and then the Vale­ dictory, the honor of presenting which had fallen to David Edward Smith, was given. Seldom has the valedictory­ address been in more capable hands, and the words he addressed to the faculty, the members of the school board, the patrons of the school and his classmates were excellently chosen, and delivered with true sincerity and feeling. In a few appropriate words Sup’t Field presented the diplomas,, and the exercises closed with the benediction by Rev. VanAuken. Too high praise cannot be given to the exercises as a whole. The. individ­ ual effort of each, and the delivery, impressed one as being of unusually high order. The length of the pro­ gram was excellent, and the music was of ail order to please without crowd­ ing or detracting from the real nature of the program. The members of the class are as fol­ lows; Harriet R. Goodyear. David E. Smith, Katherine VanValkenburg, JArthur Andrus, Grace Grant. Margaret Harper, Lillian B. Knapp, Frank W. Keniield. Chas. William Edwards. Grace B. Giddings, Grace J. Stewart, Inda Belle Busby. Elam J. Crook. Ben D. McMurray, Florence Viola Wood and Glen Waite. . Of the members Mr. Smith. Miss VanV-alkenburg and Mr. Edwards will enter the literary department at Ann Arbor next fall, Mr. Keniield the den tai department at the same institution, Mr. McMurray contemplates a course at the M. A. C., Miss Goodyear enters Harcourt Seminary, Gambier Ohio, preparatory to a course at Wellesly, Miss Grant will also enter college but as yet undecided just where. Mr. An­ drus will also enter the U. of M. but probablv not until another year. These were the only ones we w»»re able to learn of who bad decided definitely on their course for tbe coming year.

June 2O.-Tbe reso­ lution referring contagious disease buls. back to the ciMes and towns was re­ peated and stricken from the record of the board ot supervisors. The bills were turned over to the committee on claims. The watchman’s bills were re­ jected entirely under the claim that the watchmen were doing police duty and the exyieuse should come on the com­ munities where they served. ■ The committee on claims cut ail phyI,IU. to »2.I» a vlalL the amount formerly adopted for sucn cases. The bills presented for the services of watchmen in smallpox cases amount­ ed to $1,500, and were rejected on the ground that the Halms were Illegal, as the services of watchmen were entire­ ly unnecessary ln " suctl cases. The board contends that the fad of a house being placarded is sufficient, and the law provides that any person entering a quarantined house is guilty of mis­ demeanor and Hable to arrest. If per­ sons desire to run such risk they t^ust pay the penalty, the board holds, and there is no necessity for hiring watch­ men ’to prevent people from commit­ ting an act HaWe to result in a criminal charge against them. The board turned down the applica-. tlon of Sheriff Dykltute for a restora­ tion of the old price of 40 centA a day for boarding prisoners. The tgiard held that 30 cents a day was sufficient..

Mich., June 20.The season is opening remarkably early at the resorts on the buy. The warm weather of the past week has led to the opening of many cottages and there are already a number of guests at the hotels. About half of the cot­ tages are now occupied and if the pleas­ ant weather continues there will prob­ ably not be a vacant cottage by the first of July.,-. Hotel Macatawa will open in earnest the 25th of June and the formal ball which greets the new season will take place some time this week. The hotel has been repainted with the Maccatawa •colors of yellow and white, and has beeh otherwise redecorated and refur­ nished. The dining rooms and officer have been particularly Improved in ap­ pearance. All of the buildings belong­ ing to. the Macatawa. Park company are now painted this color, and it has be­ come typical of tbe company at the park. This includes various cottages, the hotels, and pavilions at different ]>oiuts on the grounds. A beautiful new pavilion has been erected on the Lake Michigan front at the water's edge. The Jower fluor will be used as a bathhouse, while above4 will be a delightful dancing floor. The pavilion extends out over the water and is very* picturesque and beautiful. There is always a fresh cool breeze from the lake and the charm of the. water's edge will undoubtedly make it very' popular this summer. The cement walk which was such an Improvement last year, has been ex­ tended until it now runs from the pier to the old Chicago Beach dock, a stretch of fully two miles and, a half. "This makes a delightful promenade, and in the early evening the walks are crowded with resorters watching the glorious speetacJe of the sunset across Lake Michigan. The cement walk Is becoming to Macatawa what the “board walk" Is to Atlantic City. It is claimed that there are more miles of cement walk at Macatawa than ut any other resort on the east shore ot Lake Michi­ gan. P. T. McCarthy of Chicago has erect­ ed a new pnvtUon at Jenison. Mr. Mc­ Carthy has operated the Virginia Park hotel for s«>rne years. The tfew pavilion is one of the largest on the buy -and has a fine dancing floor. The interurban has made many Improvements at Jeni­ son juirk this year, and the resort is preparing to entertain many guests this year. . FLINT MAN’S DEATH.

The board Is now considering the plan ot requiring all justices of the peace to notify the prosecutor after arrests are made and before the defendants are ar­ raigned, so that he may "be present ut the arraignment and decide whether there Is just cause for criminal action. In this way the board believes it can put a stop to the wholesale consign­ ments ot hoboes to the county jail re­ duce officers' and justices’ fees, and cut down the sheriff's bills for boarding tramps.

Guard the Legacy. , Senator Dulliver, in his able speech in the ’senate on tbe tariff and the trusts, ■said the Republican party inherited its historic faith from our fathers and traced the line of Inheritance as follows: I “When William McKinley died he left it as a rich legacy to us who followed in the great triumphs of his public life, it was not a discovery of his. He got it from Abraham Lincoln, who got it from Henry Clay, who got it from Alex­ ander Hamilton, who got it from Ben­ jamin Franklin, so that our title is 'clear, our abstract perfect, without lien yw incumbrance running straight back to the original sources of American com Jm on sense.” The duty of the Republican party ‘nowisto “guard a title that was rich before.” and bequeath it in turn to pa­ triotic Americans of the future.— WWcesbarrc Times. MDetroit papers last week stated that It might be possible that Justns S. Stearns would run for governor on the 'democratic ticket, in case be failed to receive the nomination on tbe republi­ can ticket Tbe party must be hard up for candidates when it contemplates invad­ ing republican ranks for one. And wouldn’t it be consistent too? Think how easy it would be for democrats to wage an “anti-boodle” campaign with Justus S. Stearns at the head. Mr. Stearns has plenty of “barrels” and has never seemed to manifest any scruples against “tapping” one when it became necessary._______________ Several democrats are grabbing after the presidential nomination, but it ■seems to be as elusive as a greased pig. But what will it amount to after one of them'has caught it? Peop’e all over the country have made up their minds Vo “let well enough alone,” and will vote Tor Thedore Roosevelt and four more years of proeperity. Its all over but the shouting and we believe Roosevelt will be elected py the greatest majority ■ver given any candidate for president. And why shouldn’t he? It is difficult to predict just what is­ sues the desperate Democracy will force <o the front in their effort to displace ‘and to repudiate those which they de clared>o be of paramount importance in 1896 and again in 1900. But so far as the Tariff is concerned Republicans need have no fear. If tbe Tariff is to be trumps in tbe coming game of politics, that is our long suit, and we may safely count on both points and honors when Hhe score is made up. Recently 813,000,000 in gold was sent out of this country iu one week, without even so much as causing the wink of an eye on Wall Street Such a transaction in 1893-96 would have sent financial ■chills all over tbe country.

Scarcely had the guns of the defenders sounded when, with a loud shout. Lige Willetts leaped from an upper window on that side of the burning saloon and landed on the woodshed and. Immediately climbing the roof of the mansion itself, applied a brand to the dry. time worn clapboards. Ross Schofield dropped on tbe woodshed close behind him, bls arm lovingly Infolding a gallon jug of whisky, which he emptied (not without evident regret) upon the clapboards as Lige fired them. Flames burst forth almost instantly,’and tbe siuoke. unit­ ing with that now rolling out of every window of the saloon, went up to heav­ en in a cumbrous, gray column. As the flames began to spread there was a rapid fusillade from tbe rear of the house, and a hundred men and more, who bad kept on through the fields to the north, assailed it from be­ hind. Their shots passed clear through the flimsy partitions, and tliere was a screaming like beasts’ howls from with­ in. The front door was thrown open, and a lean, fierce eyed girl, with a case knife in her hand, ran out in the face of the mob. At sound of the shots in the rear they bad begun to advance on the house a second time, and Hartley Bowlder was the nearest man to tbe girl. With awful words and shrieking inconceivably she made straight at Hartley and attacked him with the knife. She struck at him again and again, aud in her anguish of hate and fear she was so extraordinary a specta­ cle that she gained for her companions the seconds they needed to escape from tbe house. As she hurled herself alone at the oncoming torrent they sped from the door unnoticed, sprang over the fence and reached the open lots to the •'Don't let ’em fool you!” be shouted. ♦“Look to your left!

Friday the senatorial convention for the 15th Senatorial district, met at the opera house at Charlotte. Barry and Eaton counties were represented by their full quota of delegatee and the gathering was a very enthusiastic one. it was known long before the convenlion just what the action would be,- and that Senator C. L. Glasgow would be the unanimous choice to succeed him•elf. e° the meeting was practically a ratification meeting, • Rev. Van Auken, of this city, chair­ man of the Barry county delegation, was selected as temporary chairman and later as permanent, performing the duties with becoming force and dignity Resolutions were adopted favoring primary reform to a reasonable extent and commending President Roosevelt for his able administration. When it came to the nomination of a candidate for State Senator, O. M. McCaughlin, of Nashville, in a very happy speech, placed the name of Sena­ tor Glasgow before the convention for renoinination. Postmaster Beekman, of Charlotte, seconded the nomination and Ex-Representative Dickinson of Eaton county moved that the secretary be authorized to cast the vote of the convention for Senator Glasgow, which was carried. A committed of three was appointed by the chair to wait upon Sen­ ator Glasgow and escort him to the platform. In an open, honorable, frank manner he expressed his appreciation of the honor conferred upon him and pledged anew his loyalty to the people of the 15th district, stating that he con­ fidently believed that if elected he would be better able to serve his con­ stituents, by reason of having served his first term. He assured the people of the 15th district that if elected, he would be there tocarry out their wishes but that in the absence of any instruc­ tions he would at all times endeavor to exercise his o^vn best judgement Senator Glasgow may well be proud of the splendid endorsement given him by the people of Barry and Eaton counties and the people can rest as­ sured that they have in him a public servant who can at all times be trusted, a man of keen foresight and splendid judgment, a ready speaker,' and the soul of honor. Senator Glasgow won a high place for himself through his last term’s work, and all who know him — and everybody should—know that he will make every effort to serve the people better-’ thau ever before, and by reason of his experience will be better qualified toido it, and the 15th district is to be congratulated upon being re­ presented by one so able as he. Hie 4 4th Birthday Club. Mrs. K. T. French entertained the Uth Birthday. Club at her beautiful home in Middleville Thursday last week the party leaving Hastings at 5:25 p. m. The evening was spent iisteuing to songs of the olden and the present time, sung as no one else sings them, by Mrs. "Belle Hendershott, accompanied by Mrs. Carrie Colgrove at the piano and with games of euchre and flinch. The dinner was served on the capacious porch, at one long table, covers being laid for seventeen. The decorations w ere pink and yellow roses, with delicately hand painted place cards of same de­ sign. The menu of seven courses was delicious and served by Mrs. Ida Wood. One of the pleasant features of the evening was the delightful music fur­ nished by the Middleville mandolin or­ chestra, consisting of eight pieces play­ ing throughout the entire serving of the dinner. The floral offerings of June were charmingly arranged in the decorations of the home and many thanks are due Mrs. French from the Ciab for a delightful evening. Advertised Letters.

I Every great political party asks for the suffrage of the people through its platform of principles, which represent What the party will stand for if elected. tThe following Is the platform of the republican party, unanimously adopted by the republican convention at Chi­ . cago last week: Fifty years ago the Republican party came into existence dedicated among XHher purposes to the great task of ar­ resting the extension of human slavery. In 1860, it elected Its first president. During 24 of the 44 yeafs which have elapsed since the election of Lincoln, the Republican party has held comrlete control of the government For 8 more of tbe 44 years it has held par­ tial control through the possession of •one or two branches of the government, While the Democratic party during the same period has had complete control for only two years. This long tenure K)f power by the Republican party is riot due to chance. It is a demonstralion that the Republican party has •commanded the confidence of the Amerlean people for nearly two generations bo a degree never equalled in our his­ tory, and has displayed a high capacity lor rule and government that has been ttadeeven more conspicuous by the in­ capacity and infirmity of purpose shown by its opponents. The Republican party entered upon its present period of complete suprem­ acy in 1897. We have every right to congratulate ourselves upon the work wince then accomplished, for it has add­ ed lustre even to the traditions of the party which carried the government through the civil war. INHERITANCE OF WOE. We then found, tbe country after four ^ears of Democratic rule, in evil plight, oppressed with misfortune and doubtful ,of the future. Public credit had been lowered, the revenues were declining, the debt was growing, the administra­ tion's attitude toward Spain was feeble and mortifying, tbe standard of values Was threatened' and uncertain, labor Was unemployed, business was sunk in the depression which had succeeded the Sanic of 1893, hope was faint, and condence was gone. We met these unhappy conditions Vigorously, effectively, and at once. We replaced a Democratic tariff law based on free trade principles and garn­ ished with sectional protection by a con­ sistent, protective tariff, and industry, Treed from oppression and stimulated by the encouragement of wise laws, has ex­ panded to a degree never before known, has conquered new markets, and has created a volume of exports which has surpassed imagination. Under the Dingley tariff, labor has been fully em­ ployed, wages have risen and all indus­ tries revived and prospered. We firmly established tbe gold stand­ ard which then was menaced with de­ struction. Confidence returned to busi­ ness, aud with confidence an unexam­ pled prosperity. For deficient revenues supplemented by improvident issues of bonds, we Sre the country an income which proeed a large surplus, and which en­ abled us only four years after the Spanish war had closed, to remove over • 100,000,000 of annual war taxes, reduce the public debt, and lower the interest charges of tbe government. Tbe public credit which had been so lowered that in time of peace a Demo critic administration made targe loans at extravagant rates of interest in order to pay current expenditures, rose under Republican administration to its high­ est point, and enabled its to borrow at two per cent even in time of war. WAR WITH SPAIN. We refused to palter longer with the taiseries of Cuba. We fought a quick aud victorious war with Spain. We set Cuba free, governed the island for three years and then gave it to tbe Cuban peo­ ple with order restored with ample rev­ enues. with education and public health established, free from debt and connect­ ed with the United States by wise pro­ visions for our mutual interests. g We have organized the government cf Porto Rico and its people now enjoy peace, freedom, order and prosperity. In the HiUIppiDOB have suppress- ed insurrection, established and given to life and property a security never known there before. We have organiz­ ed civil government, made it effective and strong iu administration, and.have conferred upon the people of these is­ lands the largest civil liberty they have ever enjoyed. By our possession of the Philippines we were enabled to ti£ke prompt aud effective action In the relief of the lega­ tions at Pekin, and a decisive pert in preventing tbe partition aud preserving the integrity of China. Tbe possession of a route for an isth­ mian canal, so long the.dream of Amer­ ican statesmanship, Is now an accom­ plished fact. The great work of con­ necting the Pacific and' Atlantic by a canal is at last begun, and it is due to the Republican party. We have passed laws which will fering the arid lands of the many states within the area of cultivation. We have reorganized the army and put it in the highest, state of efficiency. We have passed Jaws for the improve­ ment and support of the militia. We have pushed forward the build­ ing of the navy, the defense and pro­ tection of our honor and our interests. Our administration of the great deEartments of the government has been onest and efficient and wherever wrong-doing has been discovered the Republican administration has not hesitated to probe the evil, and bring offenders to justice without regard to party or political ties. THE TRUSTS. Laws enacted by tbe Republican par­ ty, which the Democratic party failed to enforce and which were intended for tbe protection of tbe public against the unjust discrimination of the illegal en croacbment of vast aggregations of capital have been vigorously enforced by a Republican president and new laws ensuring reasonable publicity as to tbe operations of great corporations and providing additional remedies for the prevention of discrimination in freight rates have been passed by a Re­ publican congress. In this record of achievement during the past eight vdHrs may be read the pledges which the Republican party has fulfilled. We promise to continue those policies, and we declare our constant adherence to the following principles: TARIFF PLANK. Protection which guards and develops our industries is a cardinal policy of the Republican party. The measure of protection should always af least equal the difference in the cost of production at home and abroad. We insist upon the maintenance of the principle of protection, and, therefore rates of fluty should be readjusted only when condi­ tions have so changed that the public interest demands their alteration, but this work cannot safely be committed to any other hands than those of the Republican party. To entrust it to the Democratic party is to invitedisaster.’ Whether, as in 1892, the Democratic party declares the protective tariff un­ constitutional or whether it demands tariff reform or tariff revision, its real object is always the destruction of the protective system. However specious the name, the purpose is ever the same. A Democratic tariff has always been followed by business adversity, a Re­ publican tariff by business prosperity. To a Republican congress and a Repub­ lican president this can safely be en­ trusted. Tbe only free trade country among the great nations agitates a re­ turn to protection and the chief protec­ tive sountry should not falter in main* tainin g it We have extended widely our foreign markets; we believe in the adoption of all practicable methods for their further extension including commercial recipro­ city wherever reciprocal arrangements can be effected consistent with the principles of protection and without injury to American agriculture, Amer­ ican labor or any American industry. UPHOLDS GOLDSTANDARD. We believe it to be tbe dutv of the Republican party to uphold the gold standard and tbe integrity and value of our national currency. The mainten­ ance of the gold standard, established by the Republican party, cannot safely be entrusted to the Democratic party, which has never given any proof of be­ lief in it or fidelity to it, although it favored its adoption. _ While every other industry has pros­ pered under the fostered-aid of Repub­ lican legislation.. American shipping engaged in foreign trade, in competi­ tion with the low cost of construction, low wages and heavy subsidies of for­ eign governments, has not for many years received from the government o’f the United States adequate encourage­ ment of any kind. We therefore, fav­ or legislation which will encourage and buila up the American merchant ma­ rine and we cordially approve the leg­ islation of the last congress, which created the merchant marine commis­ sion to investigate and report upon this subject. A navy powerful enough to defend the United States against any attack, to uphold the Monroe doctrine and watch over our commerce, is essential to the safety and the welfare of the American people. To maintain such a navy is the fixed policy of the Repub­ lican party. We cordially approvajhe attitude of President Roosevelt and congress in regard to the exclusion of Chinese labor, and promise a continu­ ance of the Republican policy in that direction. The civil service law was placed on the statute books by the Republican party, which has always sustained it, and we renew our former declarations that It shall be thoroughly and honestly enforced. We are always mindful of the coun­ try’s debt to the soldiers and sailors of the United States and we believe in making ample provision for them aud in the liberal administration of the pen­ sion laws. We favor the peaceful settlement of international differences by arbitration: We commend the vigorous efforts made by the administration to protect American citizens in foreign lands, and pledge ourselves to insist upon the just and equal protection of all our citizens abroad. It is the unquestioned duty ef the government to procure for all our citizens, without distinction, the rights of travel and sojourn in friendly countries and we declare ourselves iu favor of all proper efforts tending to that end. Our great interests and our growing commerce in the Orient render the con­ dition of China of high importance to the United States. We cordially com­ mend tbe policy pursued in that dire**ObNCLUMU) on lht page.1 - What it Stands For. AU the advances scored by this country in the past half century have been due to the sound judgement, in­ telligence, progtessiveness, and courage of the republican party. That party destroyed slavery, put down the rebel­ lion, killed secession, established a tar­ iff, opened the west, to settlers, estab­ lished the gold standard, started the scheme of irrigation which today is opening up million of acres of arid land in the west for settlement; annex­ ed Alaska; drove ,th6 Spaniards off.of the American continent; established a republic in Cuba; annexed Hawaii, Porto Rico and the Philippines, giving the people self government for the first time; aud has started the construc­ tion of the Panama canal. Under re­ publican rule the population of the country has increased three fold, while the wealth of the country has been more than quadrupled.

In the same spirit, and with the courage displayed in the past, the par­ ty will meet present issues, and all new ones as fast as they arise. The republican party is indeed fortu­ nate in having for its standard bearer a man of Theodore Roosevelt’s stamp; a man who has been tried and not found wanting; a man who merits the confi­ dence and respect of the people’by rea­ son of his sound, conservative judg­ ment, and his well ‘known fearlessness ALL SUMS ACCEPTED. In meeting every issue squarely, fairly and candidly. In his hands the-interests of this country are safe, , aud all in­ terests will be thoroughly considered. The principle of protection will be, and must be, maintained, with such, altera­ tions as from time to time suggest themselves; trusts will be assailed un­ der bis second term, as they have been under his first, whereverthey have been found against the public interest; the country’s obligations to the defenders of tbe union will not be forgotten, and steps will be taken to build up the merchant marine, and the extension of our commerce to all parts of the world. These are a few items from the creed of the republican party which has made this country great, and the republican party famed as the party of progress and prosperity, and are parts of a creed to which every loyal American can freely subscribe. A Wonderful Record. Tbe present national administration has reduced taxation, decreased tbe public debt, lowered the annual interest charge, built up the navy, regulated trusts, reorganized the army, promoted agriculture through irrigation systems, established civil government in the Philippines, established the republic of Cuba, ended the Alaskan boundary dispute, strengthened the Monroe doc­ trine, and protected the integrity of China, recognized the republic of Pana­ ma, paid 850,000,000 for French rights in the Panama Canal, which will make the construction of that canal possible, and place it under the control of the United States.

At the beginning of the fiscal year 1899 there were only. 200 rural routes in operation; today there fare over 25,000 routes in operation and over 12,000,000 people are receiving daily mail, the great majority of whom live on farms. While it has addedjto the expense of the government, yet the postal receipts have increased enor­ mously, jumping from 895,000,000 in 1899 to 8144,000,000 inJRKM. People living in rural communities have the advantages of daily market reports, are in constant touch with the outside world, and are no longer isolated. Several of the southern states.have disfranchised the negro vote, but at the same time they are clinging to the rep­ resentation In Congress that the mere presence of the negroes in those states are giving them. This is manifestly unjust and unfair, and gives to those stotes a greater representation in Con­ gress than they are entitled to. No one wishes to see the south in any way dis­ criminated against, and at the same time there is no occasion for giving them more than the', are justly entitled to. , President Roosevelt's act in calling a halt on Germany aud Italy in their raid on Venezuela, is sufficient evidence that he intends to uphold tbe Monroe doctrine. ’ ■’ Compare the last seven years with the years 1893-97, and then make up vour mind which party stands for the best interests af Xhe country.

Tbe fugitives did not turn. They kept on running, and they had nearly reached the other aide of the field when suddenly, without any pre­ monitory gesture. the elder Bkillett dropped fiat on bis face. The Croearoadera stood by each other that day, for four or five men ran out of the nearest shanty Into the open, lifted the prostrate figure from the ground and began to carry it back with them. But SkUtett was alive. Hi* curses were beard above all other sounds. Lige and Schofield fired again, and one of the rescuers staggered. Nevertheless as the two men slid down from tbe roof the burdened Crossroaders were seen to break into a run, and at that. wttV another yell, fiercer, wilder, more joy­ ous than the first, the Plattville men followed. The yell rang loudly in the ears of old Wilkerson, who had remained back In the road, and at tne same Instant he heard another shout behind him. He Lad not shared in tbe attack; but, greatly preoccupied with his own his­ trionic affairs, was proceeding alone up the pike, except for tbe unhappy yellow mongrel still dragged along by the rope, and alternating, as was bis miturul want, from one fence to the other, crouching behind every bush to fire an imaginary rifle at tbe dog and then springing out with triumnhaut bellowlngs to fall prone upon the terri­ fied animal. It was after one of tltese victories that a shout of warning was raised behind him. tytd Mr. Wilkerson, by grace* of the god Bacchus, rolling. Fit of the way in time to save bls life, saw a horse dash by him, a big. black horse whose polished flanks were drip­ ping wlthmtber. Warren Smith -was tbe rider. He was waving a slip of yel­ low pajier high Ih the air. He rode up the slope and drew rein beyond tbe burning buildings just ahead of those foremost in the pursuit He threw his horse across the road to oppose their progress, rose in his stir­ rups and waved tbe paper over his bead. ••Stop!" he roared. “Give me one minute! Stop!” He had a grand voice, and he was known in many parts of the state for the great bass roar with which he startled his juries. To be heard at a distance most men lift tbe pit' h of their voice. Smith lowered his r.n octave or two. and the result was Eke an earthquake playing an organ iu a catacomb. "Stop!” be thundered. "Stop!” In answer one of the flying Croasroaders turned and sent a bullet whi^ tling close to him. The lawyer paused long enough to bow deeply In satirical rcnpouse; then, flourishing the paper, be roared again: "Stop! A mistake! I have news! Stop, I say! Horner has got them!" To make himself heard over that tempestuous advance was a feat; for him, moreover, whose counsels had so lately been derided, to interest the pur­ suers at such a moment enough to make them listen—to find the word— was a greater, and by Die word and by gestures at once vehemently im­ perious and imploring to stop them was a still greater. But he did it He had coiue at Just tbe moment before the moment that would have been too late. They all beard him. They all knew, too, that he was not trying to save the Crossroads as a Blatter of duty, l«ecause he had given that up be­ fore the mob left Plattville. Indeed, It was a question if at tbe last he had not tacitly approved, and do one feared indictments for the day's work. It would do no harm to listen to what be had to say. The work could wait It would “keep” for five minutes. They began to gather around him, excited, flushed, perspiring and smelling of smoke. Hartley Bowlder, won by Llge’s desperation and Intrepidity, was helping tbe latter tie up his bead. No one else was hurt "What Is It?" they clamored impa­ tiently. "Speak quick!” There was another harmless shot‘from a fugitive, and then the Crossroaders. divining that the diversion was In their favor, secured themselves In their decrepit fastnesses and held their fire. Mean­ while tbe flames crackled cheerfully In Plattville ears. No matter what the prosecutor had to say, at least the SkllJett saloon and homestead were gone, and Bob Sklllett and one other would be sick enough to be good for awhile. “listen!” cried Warren Smith, and. rising In hi* stirrups again, read tbe missive 1» hto a Western Union telegraph form. “Warren Smith.

STAVFVKB ROOSEVELT’S FOREIGN POLICY. Republican Platform. v I Continued from page! four, tlon by the administrations of Presi dent McKinley and President Roose­ velt _ THREAT AGAINST THE SOUTH. PRAISE FOR ROOSEVELT. . The Anwrlcu pwple were fortunat, m his successor, to ’ ' om they turm-d with a trust and cor lence which have. been fully justified. President RoW velt brought to the great responsibbL ties thus sadly forced upon him a clear head, a brave heart, an earnest patriot­ ism, and high ideals of public duty and public service. True to the principles of tbe Republican party and to the policies which that party had declared he has also shown himself readv for every emergency and has met new* and vital questions with ability and with success. ‘ The confidence of the people in his justice, inspired by bis public career enabled him , to render peraonaiv an’ inestimable service to tbe country by bringing about a settlement of the coal strike which threatened such disastrous remits at tbe opening of winter in 19u2 Our foreign policy, under hi? admin istratioD, has not only been, able, vigor­ ous and dignified, but In the highest de­ gree successful. Tbe complicated.questions that aron? in Venezuela were settled in such a way by President Roosevelt that the Monroe doctrine was signally vindicat­ ed and tbe cause of peace and arbitra tion greatly advanced. His prompt and vigorous action in Panama, which we commend in the highest terms, not only secured to us the canal routCL but avoided foreign, complications which might have been of a very serious character. , We favor such congressional action as shall determine whether by special discriminations the elective franchise in any state has been. unconstitutionally limited, and, if such is the case, we de inand that representation in congress and in the electoral colleges shall be proportionally reduced as directed by the constitution of the United States. CAPIT^I. AND LABOR. Combinations of capital and of labor are the results of the economic move­ ment of the age, but neither must be permitted to infringe upon the righto and interests of the people. Such com­ binations when lawfully formed for lawful purposes are alike entitled to the protection of the laws, but both are subject to the laws, and neither can be permitted to break them. * The great statesman and patriotic American, William McKinley, who was re-elected by tbe Republican party to the presidency four years ago, was assassinated just at the threshold of his second term. The entire nation mourn­ ed his untimely death, and did that । justice to his great qualities of mind He has continued the policy of Presdent McKinley in tbe Orient and our position in China, signalized bv our re­ cent commercial treaty with that em­ pire, has never been so high. He eecured the tribunal by which the vexed and perilous question of the Alaskan boundary was finally settled. Whenever crimes against humanity have been perpetrated which have shocked our people, his protest has been made ana our good offices have been tendered, but always with due re­ gard to international obligations. Under his guidance we find ourselves at peace with all the world, and never were we more respected, or our wishes more regarded by foreipi hatione. Prominently successful in regard to our foreign relations, he has been equal­ ly fortunate in dealing with domestic questions. The country has known that the public credit and the national currency were absolutely safe in tbe hands of his administration. In the enforcement of the laws he has shown not only courage with the wisdom which understands that to i>ermit laws to be violated or disregarded, opens the door to anarchy, while the just enforce ment of the law is the soundest con­ servatism. He has -held firmly to the fundamental American doctrine that all men must obey the law. that there must be no distinction between rich aud poor, between strong, atid weak, but that justice and equal protection under the law must be secured to every citizen without regard to race, creed, or condition. His administration throughout has been vigorous and honorable, high minded and patriotic. We commend it without reservation to the considerate judgment of the American people.

The name of Howard -Taylor, deputy auditor of Hennepin county, was re­ peatedly brought up during the tes­ timony in connection with the death of the girl. C. M. Teachout. the dead girl'h.father, mentioned it when he said that after the return of the parasol, pocketbook and handkerchief.- which had been found on the river bunk Sat­ urday afternoon he believed that Ruth had played a trick on him. ’T thought she had gone away with Howard Taylor,’ 'said he. 5 "Who is Howard Taylor?” asked County Attorney Kane, who conducted the interrogations. ”He Is a friend of the family,” an­ swered the father. He said Taylor had once taken Ruth to Chicago. From Chicago the girl went alone to Battle Creek. Mich., where her sister. Mrs. Ida Burden, lives. Howard Burden, he said, sent a telegram announcing the safe arrival of Ruth, signing It “How­ ard.” His Wife Shot Herself. Mrs. Taylor Intercepted the telegram, and believing that •‘Howard" meant her husband, became insanely jealous. “She came to our place and shot her­ self a little distance from the house,” said Mr. Teachout. The father of the dead girl said he had not objected to Taylor’s coming to his house. No attempt was made to connect Taylor with Miss Teachout's name, and nothing was developed to give a clue to her slayer. The affair is the most mysterious case that has ever occurred In the Twin Cities. Resolutions Were Most Important. Most important from a historical standpoint, however, was the report of tfie committee on resolutions, headed by Jacob M. Howard, afterwards a dlstlnguishc.l senator In congress.- The resolution pledged resistance to the extension of slavery-, called for the re­ peal of the fugitive slave law, and pro­ posed a general convention of the free state** to adopt measutos to resist the encroachment of slavery. Then comes this historical declaration: "We will be known as Republicans until the contest Is ended." Thus the party was named. This party name, which had not been In use since the early days of the republic, was suggested to Joseph Warren, editor of the Detroit Tribune, by Horace Greeley, who took a deep interest In the Michigan movement. On the way to Jackson. Mn Warfen hud given to Mr. Howard Mr. Greley'S let­ ter containing the suggestion. The action taken by the Michigan convention speedily became known through the press. On July 13, 1834, the Wisconsin Free Sollers in conven­ tion at Madison adopted the name Re­ publican. as did Ohio, Illinois and Vermoj< conventions, held on the same day. Massachusetts followed oh July 19. On Washington's birthday. 1836, the first national convention of the Re­ publican part?' was held at .Pittsburg, and nominated Fremont and Dayton, whe carried 11 states.

July 3.-Th* amount of food necessary to feed the soldier boys during their 10 days’ camp in Ludington is enough to astonish the oldest.

To t^egin with the soldiers will eat 25,398 pounds of bread during the encampment, or in other words 2,812 loaves per day.

These are a part of the supplies enumerated, and will be passed out by the stae commissary department, but they will be only a part of the total comsumption. Besides these the camp will furnish a good market for butter, eggs, milk and fruits, which are not included in the regular rations, but which will be brought by the soldiers individually anw by the companies' commissary. As to the amount of these things the boys will eat. It Is Impossible even to guess, one can only know that soldier’s appe­ tites are ever present, reliable and hug** LEAD OFFICERS HOT CHASE.

The fleeing men took to the waler when cornered, swimming a bayou, and led the officers a 20-mlle chase on foot through the prairie marshes. They circled around the city and two officers were sent to assist the six who were chasing. Just before the gang hid un­ der the beet sheds «»f the German-I American sugar refining factory the officers began shooting, having stum­ bled across the fugitives in the dark­ ness.

Mich., July 3The mystery surrounding the death in the Mississippi river at St. Paul of Miss Ruth Teachout ta said to reach out to this city. The young woman lived in Battle Creek the greater part of the winter, having been employed in the sani­ tarium. She came here from St. Pfoil. and returned to that place on March 15. Miss Teachout, while she lived tn Battle Creek, had many admirers. She was a pretty girl and attracted consid­ erable attention, though nothing is said against her name. While Miss Teachout was living in Battle Creek Norval Welnbrenner paid her considerable attention, taking her to several social gatherings. It is not known that he was engaged to her or that their relations were unduly inti­ mate. Welnbrenner has been seen and ,says he was not in Minneapolis at the time of the young woman’s death and knows nothing about it.

It is a most tremendous fact, and I cannot conceive any subject more worthy of the attention of the I^egisla ture, more worthy of the attention of all.” • Ttye above words were uttered by . John Morley, one of England’s greatest > men. England is a free trade country, aud while she has been clinging tenaciously to that policy she has seen younger nations under the policy of protection outstrip her in tbe race for prosperity, progress and wealth.

Gordon lectured in this city several years ago and in life probably did more to reunite the north and south than any other man. The Kentucky building is known an “The New Kentucky Home” to dis­ tinguish it from the well known “Old Kentucky Home,” so well known in song. The Massachusetts building is a conglomeration of several historical buildings, and is chiefly interesting be­ cause of the ;heirlooms exhibited in it. Oregon has a uniqjue building being a reproduction of the buildings and stockades used by l^ewis and Clark in the winter of 1805-09, and known in history as Fort Clatsop. The original building was the first one built in Oregon by white men. The Rhode Island building was de­ signed after well know old Colonial plantation buildings. About all of the other states and territories are represented by buildings of their own, and hl which are many interesting displays of old relics or dis plays of products peculiar to that state or territory. A visit to the state build­ ings will be very Interesting to all visitors to the fair. Along about the drat of last April a tramp was let out of jail one night and almost simultaneously with his disappearance from the city, the bi. cycle of John Roberts came up miss­ ing. When John went home to eupper his wheel was standing in front of his store, \Vhen he came back it was gone, and he looked upon its disappear ance as complete and tinal. Last week Earl Christmas was visiting friends in Hickory Comers and bo recognised a wheel that he saw as being the one that belonged to Mr. Roberts. The name plate had been taken off, but the number was found and sent to the factory where it was found to corres­ pond with the number of the wheel sold Mr. Roberts. The tramp went south from this city on the wheel and sold it in Barry township fo a dollar. John was only too glad to have his wheel returned, but also feels under obligations to Master Earl, whose keen eyesight and good memory are alone responsible for the return of the bike.

J ' J ' < J ' Little Lawrence Benkes, thesfix year old son of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph P. Benkes, of this city, had his young life suddenly crushed out Friday afternoon in Bauer Bros. Lumber shed. With his brother, who is a couple of years older than he, and three or four other little boys, little Lawrence had gone into the shed to play. The other boys were engaged in playing and jumping from one lumber pile to another, while Lawrence 'sat down near a pile of two inch flanks about six or seven feet high. Near the pile of plank was a pile of southern pine, which is very slippery timber, and slides easily, in running about over the lumber, this pile of southern lumber slid to the east, knocked over the pile of two by! eight plank, about 25 of them toppling over onto the unfortunate little boy, who was doubtless unconscious of the dan­ ger surrounding him,, crushing his sku'l just above the left temple and causing instant death. Seeing what had happened the; little boys all rgn out of the building, and Paul, the eight year old brother of the deceased, notified Duane Bauer of the accident and he with C. W. Miioer and Will Hilton went at once to the- scene of the accident amPremoved the planks. When the body was found life was ex­ tinct. Coroner Lathrop was called, viewed the remains, and Monday filed a certifi­ cate that death was due to an acci­ dent. The blow was a terrible one to the parents, when notified of the death of their child, and the sympathy of the community goes out to them in their affliction. The funeral was held from St Rose's church Monday morning at nine o’clock, Fr. Connors officiating, inter­. ment being made in Mt. Calvary censeto— iery* ------------------------------ Monday Judge Smith handed down his decision in the “Little Thornapple Drahi Case,” which several months ago occupied the attention of court for a week or more. The title of the case was Brayton, Childs & Gosch vs Patrick Dooley, County Drain Commissioner, at that time. It was proposed to drain the Little Thornapple nver from Jordan Lake, near Lake Odessa, following the course of the Little Thoruapple to near Free­ port a distance of 11 miles or more. A jury went over the proposed drain and recommended that it be built for the public good. Brayton, Childs and Gosch, backed by a lot of the leading farmers of Carlton township, secured, the services of Thomas & Pryor and got out an injunction restraining the* County Drain Commissioner from build­ ing the ditch. The case was brought up. before the Circuit Court and consumed about a week’s time, being submitted to Judge Smith. The decision handed down Monday sustains every point taken by Thomas & Pryor, who handled the case in a very able manner. The injunction waa made permanent and complainants will recover taxable costs. The decis­ ion in full is as follows: State of Mtehitaa. The Circuit Court for the County of Barry iu Chancery. !

The defendant, as County Drain Commissioner tu-eks to make a drain of the Little Thoruapple river by widening, deep<ming and straightening It, this to be done by a dredge.- The drain tn question lias Its commencement in the township, of Woodland, abont a half mile from .Iordan lake., From there The drain proposed, fo'low*, the stream in its natural course, which runs th a southwesterly direction until It rtactes a point.

The proposed drain Is about eleven mile* length, has an average width of eighteen feeU the width being from sixteen to twonty-twa fwt. a depth front four fee* to twelve feel abd an average of probably about seven feet.

It neems to me esnuot be doubted, a* shewn by the proof In the esse. There can be no doubt of the beneflclenee of the drain law when used forpublic purpote*. but It should no* be used when, to do so would materially harm another. The law that a person's property cannot lie taken for the iL*»e of the public without compensation., and wlthoutrdue process of Jaw Is one of the lifeguards of property rights. It seems to me to be tree from doubt, tinu If this drain h madens contemplated. It will materially add to the water of tills river and enhance Its flow In the* time of high water, beyond the natural flow ot the «ame; and In a time at low water, wfl) greatly decrease Its flow and this will result in material damage to complainant's property­ right*. The drain. If made, will be made for a pnrpose.and that purpose is to take the water of the river dow n Us channel more rapid, and re­ lieve tlir overflowing batiks more quickly, aad this must ueeeasarUy. In my judgment, have it material effect on the marshe* tordering salfl river, and the lakes that are shown by the proof to be but a few rods away. It does not seem to me that the doctrine of police power Is applicable to a case of thta nature. It seems to me that where the rights at n party will iw so materially effected, as win rights of complainant if this drain should bo r|2?on at 1 ।nsn.u Hted and provided tor. 1* is not eonteuded that ccmpialuants hsea have Hnrl had an an zatst^iwessnl!-* opportunity to hu.!» have their rights passed upon in this matter.

It was at first thought that his injuries were not serious. It was found later, however, that he had sustained dangerious internal hurts. Later he suffered convulsions and hemorrhages, and In spite of almost constant medical attendance grew rap­ idly worse. He was remojed to the hospital, in spite of his protests that he was not badly injured, and would be back in the game again in a few clays. A few hours after being taken to the hospital he died. His wife and baby were present .when d?ath occured. Herbert was ill before the season opened in the spring, and apparently was not entirely well at the time he was injured. His physical condition affected his playing when he first re­ turned to the game, but he had been showing his old form nf late. His real name was Frank Herbert, but be was best known as “Red.” The body was taken to Wheeling. “Red” Herbert was well known in Grand Rapids. He was a member of Deacon Ellis’ local Western association team in 1901. He played both behind the bat and on first base. He also pitched a few games. He was an old time pitcher, although the fact was not generally known. His good nature made him a favorite with the fans. Upon the visit of the Dayton team a few weeks ago he created considerable ardusement by the manner in which he jollied the crowd In the grandstand. He was signed by Emerson Dicker­ son to play with the Grand Rapids Michigan league team In 1902, but “jumped” before the season began. His jumping caused legal trouble for him upon the occasion of his recent stay in Grand Rapids. . The accident is the first fatality In the history of the Central league.

PARIS, July 11.—The visit of Count • Golucbowski, the Austro-Hungarian > foreign minister, to Paris, gave an op- I portunity for Foreign Minister Delcusse and the count to go over the interna­ tional situation*., Including the renewed seriousness of Balkan affairs. After months of quiet, recent official reports show that the revolutionists are again active. Austria is prepared to take energetic measures, but the no wtrlple alliance, that of Bulgaria. Servla and I Roumanla, retards action. The powers are also irritated at the attitude of Turkey toward the Interna­ tional police recently established for the purpose of maintaining order, the Turkish troops ridiculing the interna­ tional gendarmerie and otherwise threatening to make their establish­ ment a failure. No decision has been reached, but the chancelleries are ex­ changing views in anticipation of up­ holding Austria's energetic course. SHREDDED If the Mikado’s Forces Take It It DETROIT. Mich..

Xo one should confound Hyomei with patent medicines that are adver­ tised to cure catarrh. It k as far su­ perior to them all as lhe diamond is valuable than cheap glass. TBefr com­ position is secret, but Hyomei gives its formula to all reputable physicians. Is it not foolish to try and cure ca­ tarrh by swallowing tablets of liquids’? The only natural way to cure this dis­ ease and all other diseases of the res­ piratory organs is to brea .he Hyomei. This treatment has been so success­ ful, curing W per cent of all who have used it, that Hyomei is now sold by Mr. Holloway under an absolute guar­ antee to refund lhe money if it does not cure. You run no risk whatever in buying Hyomei. If it did not pos­ sess unusual powers to cure, it could uot be sold upon this plan.

Bryau Thursday, July U to be a victory for Wap street and the Eatcre.1 a a aecond^laaa matter at lhe moneyed interests of the country. Hlitlnca. Mich.. P. O-, Aug. 14, 1879. Many of the ardent followers of Mr. Bryan feel that they have been “goldbricked'* and will withdraw their sup­ port'from the nominee of the St. Louis convention. Another element that'has really op­ posed the principles advocated by Mr. Bryan feel that it was a weak surrender to the eloquent Nebraskan to have the convention remain silent on the money question and have the nominee of the patty make a declaration which in no way binds the party. Among the latter class is the Chicago Chronicle, a gold democratic paper, which has announced that it will hereafter be found in the republican ranks advocating republi­ can principles. Thia ent illustrates my new In concluding a lengthy editorial on its position the Chronicle says: method of fitting glasses “Disagreeing fundamentally with this leader and this party in most things RETINOS COPY and agreeing with the republican party Requires no questions to find in the essentials of Its creed, the Chron­ today takes leave of the democratic the refractive error, makes icle party and allies itself with republicans. fitting surer. “As at present constituted and led, the democratic party menaces the peace, prosperity and integrity of the United States and their people.

Bryan and bls followers have been trying to get an expression from Judge Alton B. Parker, of New York, the democratic nominee for President, as to his views on the financial question, but the more they tried the more sphinx-like Judge Parker became. The convention at St. Louis had practically finished its work; A platform had been adopted that didn't aay a word -on the money question out of deference to Mr. Bryan’s well known opposition to the gold standard Saturday night, however, before the convention adjourned, Judge Parker Bent a telegram to a friend in St. Louis and came out flat footed for the gold standard. The telegram was as follows: “Hon. W. F. Sheehan, Hotel Jeffer­ son, St. Louis: “I regard the gold standard as * firmly and irrevocably established and shall ac^ accordingly if the action of the con­ vention of today shall be ratified by the |>eop)e. As the platform is silent on the subject, my views should be made known to the convention and if it is proved to be unsatisfactory to the ma­ jority, 1 request you to decline the nomination for me at once so that an. other may be nominated before ad­ journment. (Signed.) “A. B. Parker.” David B. Hill, the wily New York politician is given credit for the Parker telegram as part of a cut and dried program. The friends of Mr. Bryan thought that they had been tricked, and though they talked against it some­ what, yet they finally let it pass by. Among those who spoke was W. J. Bryan, who said in part: “If I could accept this telegram," he aaid, “then yon settle it on the gold standard, and I insist that yon should be honest and manly enough to say so in your platform. I have said for months that Judge Parker should make his views known in order that the American people could sit in judgment upon them.” Continuing, he said that if the con­ vention saw fit to take a gold-standard raan to ita bosom he would not object beyond voting against him. Bryan construed Parker’s telegram to mean that if a majority wanted to change the money staudard he would uot let them. “1 am’ sorry," he said, “that this question has eome up. It was mainly to express his views before adjourn­ ment. It would have been manlier bad he spoken before the convention met. Lt’s not our fault that he did not speak before. -I would propose eome amendment to th* telegram sad then let the con renlkm vote upon lhe gold Btanderd. If the gold BUnderd t» good, why run fro» nr Judge Alton B. Parker, of New York, the democratic nominee for President, is a gold democrat. He was nominated through the David B. Hill wing of democracy, which Wm. Jennings Bry­ an positively asserts is in close accord with the Wall Street trust magnates, who have combined to defeat Presi­ dent Roosevelt because of his stand in the great coal strike, and the vigor with which be opposed the well known rail­ road merger cases, in both of which he etc.od between the people and the cupid­ ity of trust magnates. When it come to Imperialism all that the republican party need do is to point to Cuba and Panama as two new re­ publics that have been added to the world’s map through “American Im­ perialism,” and free school systems in Porto Rico and the Philippines that stand as noble contributions to the cause of human advancement. How much better the world would be if there was only more “imperialism” of that kind. Only eight years ago the democratic candidate for president declared that toiling humanity was being crushed under a “cross of geld,” Statistics show that “toiling humanity” has piled up a little matter -of 82,500,000,000 in gold money in the country’s saving banks. At the St. Louis convention the democratic party did not have the courage to say a word about the money question in their national platform. My' bnt what a change from eight years &RO. The republican party, under the lead­ ership of Theodore Rooeevelt, can con­ scientiously ask for the votes of the farmers of this country, because it has furnished them with better markets and better prices than ever before. The democratic party never expects the farmer’s vote except when crops have been destroyed by drought or ravage by the Insect. Either that “cross of gold” has been lifted, or “tolling humanity" has been crushed under the weight ot lie bank deposits. At any rate the money question wasn't mentioned al St. Louis by the democratic national convention.

We do not recollect that there was any shortage of help when the democratic party was in power. One notable thing about democratic issues is that they never live to be fouryear-olds. In 1892 it was free trade; in 1896 it was free silver; in 1900 It was anti expansion. What will it be in WM? Sitting up with dead issue is by no means a new experience in democratic statesmanship.

July 18.-There Is probably no strbnger evidence of the fact that Mason county possesses rare Inducements to those ’wishing to en­ gage In fruit raising and general farm­ ing than for one to point to the un­ usual number of ■‘gentlemen" farmers who having accumulated snug fortunes throughout the county have moved Into the city and purchased themselves either palattul or very comfortable homes in which to spend the winters or permanently reside In quiet enjoyment of their well-earned incomes. Luding­ ton probably has more farmers engaged In professional or mercantile pursuits than any other city of its size in the state. James Foley, who is largely interest­ ed In the First National bank, add re­ sides la one of the most costly homes on Ludington avenue, has a fine farm a few miles out, and personally super­ intends It. C. G. Wing,«president of the State Savings hank, also has a farm out of town, and with his large family re­ sides upon It both In summer and win­ ter. The Hon. E. A.

Davis Olney, whose fine residence on the avenue is counted the most magnifi­ cent in the city, has two or three farms that he looks after here, and other properties of the same kind In other parts of the state.

Charles Seymour Bullock of Stratford, formerly of Benton Harbor, Mich., who has been acquitted or charges brought by Belle Shaller of that town, who accused him of having attacked I her at his home on January13, 1903. says that he will now sue Samuel Preece and Dr. Clapp for blackUiaiL Judge James Bishop's charge was ex­ plicit In Its Instructions/ especlah em­ phasis being laid ’on the necessity of considering preponderance of evidence where absolute proof is not possible. Judge Bishop also charged that an alibi, if proved, is a conclusive de­ fense, and that if the Jury believed the defendant's statement that he agreed to pay for medical attendance solely because he feared the implied threat of exposure whether the charge be. true or false, such payments ought not to be considered proof of guilt. During the long wait for the Jury to return comment was passed on the fact that the complaint allege dassault on January 13, 1003; that the case consumed 13 trial days; and Bullock added that he was.born on February 13 and that he had been married 13 years. Throughout the trial Mrs. Bullock's devotion to her husband haa been marked. Frank in manner and accu­ rate in testimony on dates and circum­ stances, she added a degree of reason­ ing in her explanatory answers that after the case was over drew from court. Jurors and lawyers the remark that she did more than all other wit­ nesses to convince the Jurors that the charge against her husband was un­ just, Lawyer James A. Marr, making his dosing argument for Mr. Bullock, said: “How can it help Miss Shaner's reputa­ tion for you. gentlemen of the Jury, to name the father of her child? She has been overtaken in her fault long before this suit was brought. How is it with Mr. Bullock? He still enjoys u glorious reputation and the friendship of his congregation, whom you have seen day after day in the courtroom. He still enjoys the- love of his lovely wife. He still lives upbuilding the little church he has made In that little village where every Sunday mqifalng songs arise binding those hearts together. "Have you seen a doctor so vohl of professional instinct that he stands by the mother's side and stamps on the child the brand of Infamy that he will carry to his grave? " How can that mother explain her actions, standing by and stamping the child with a mark he win carry to his grave? Gentlemen, it Is Incredible that such men live, but they do." .BATTLE CREEK. Mich.. July IT.— Dr. J. H. Kellogg, physlciar.-in-chlef of the Battle Creek sanitarium, who is one of the most noted advocates of vege­ tarianism in the world, has beer, gath­ ering statlsdces of the movement and' has discovered one person who has never eaten meat in his life, not even from babyhood, and who Is the only person in the English speaking world to claim that distinction. , The person is Hubert H. Bretz, a 16-year-old boy of Celina. Ohio. From Infancy the boy had an aversion to melt and would ni< even taste It. Dr. Kellogg received a letter from the boy's mother In which she says thather son has never eaten meat, chicken, turkey, fish or even eggs, the taste of which he does not know. He will not eat broths flavored with meat. When a child the mother would put potato over a piece of meat and try to deceive him, but he always ate the potato and re­ jected the meat. When he grew older the mother attempted to hire him to eat meat, but to no purpose. All the others of the family are meat eaters. Contrary to the prophecies of the physicians thht he would always be sickly and delicate, he has enjoyed the best of health, and. all told, has never been sick more than one week In his life. . He Is an athlete and fond of out­ door sports, being captain of the high nine. He is very Intelligent and a good scholar. He has won many prizes as an elocutionist. He never uses tobacco. The boy weighs 140 i*ouuds and Is 3 feet. 814 Inches In height. He has never 'had any of the sickness incident to childhood, such as measles, whooping cough, etc., while his sister, who Is 11 years old; has had all of these diseases, and he remained in the house* with her al! the time, not being isolated. His mother writes that his diet is principally potatoes, which must be cooked without grease. He eats plenty of bread and uavy beans, but cares nothing for pastry and eats but little fruit. sion to Meat, Fish and Eggs, But ,He la Very Intellioent. TWO DEATHS FROM THE HEAT.

Since the first time these queer little things qrere noticed, the occupants of the court house and jail- have taken the trouble to Investigate tl»e matter further and have found that the little eggs, as they are how supposed to be. are laid on- the leaves pf the Jail oak tree, and after a certain length of time, drop off on to the ground. Some of the riaturalists of the city who have been able to unravel ary mystery of the sort which has shown up In the city in former years, were completely nonplussed by thhae tiny particles of animal life, and confess* d that it was something new to them. Dr. Morris Gibbs has sent a sample of the eggs to the department of agri­ culture at Washington.

Under the microscope, the detached eggy are curious In appearance, appar­ ently having no set shape.

That is, in the times of Grover Cleveland we, as a nation, paid out nineteen million dollars more than we-reeeived, under the ad­ ministration of Theodore Roosevelt we received nearly half a billion dollars more than we paid out. This is of coarse merely an example in book­ keeping—a question of receipts aud expenditures, but it is a question which might well be kept in mind when com­ paring the industrial records of Demo­ cracy and Republicanism. Whatever may have been tb^. merits of the case bn either side, the effects of the strike of the beef packers' employes have been felt by persons far removed from the principals of the dispute. The union'may be right or the packers may' be right but it is the people who have to pay the fiddler and the man in a New York restaurant who pays sev­ enty-five cents for a fifty cent steak is apt to forget the wrongs of the strikers in his consideration of the injustice to himself and the body ot citizens. Time was when the losses occasioned by a strike were measured by a loss of wages ou the side of the employe aud loss of profits to the employer but we have at last begun to realize that the country at large is often vitally affected. And the more this is felt, the more evident it becomes that some new method should be devised for the solution of st: ike problems. Such solutions ofcourse cannot come in a day but the problem must be solved and compul­ sory arbitration seems to have at least some arguments in its favor. If gov­ ernment could secure a continuance of work pending arbitration some progress might be made. As it is, It is|far too true that justice to a few is only secured at great expense to the many.

Two and one half billion dollars, approximately, is the amount of Uncle Ban’s foreign commerce for the past year, according to the statistics issued by the Department of Commerce and Labor. Never before in the history of the country has our foreign commerce attained thiF enormous sum, the ex­ porta of manufactures being larger than in any preceding year and the 'export* of domestic products exceeding those of any other country. Nothing can show the commerbetter than to which the United Oial shprea S tamhae attained la thelaat few years. During this time the “Aaarican In­ vasion" has become a reality and American product? have been made known to the entire world. Bat while much of thia progress la undoubtedly • grit and *Dd uudeuiai Yankee end Kauok but be admitted ■ is due to the aane and careful adoaMstration of •affaire by the party In power—a party which has Umpired couffdeuoeeud made it safe for men of means aud men of wu^priae to carry out their industrial aai. ' Under this party the country «■ emerged from the panicky Grover and Clover Hates of -W to V. and whqgas la 1SSB Apr uuarta exceeded vun»*xwrts hyt-ceae# nhwtaen mil have demanded effective restrictive legislation. The republican party, how­ ever, has done something more. Under the administration of Theodore Roose­ velt it has secured legislation which has materially decreased the number of trusts formed. It has wrested from the supreme court a decision of vital importance and in doing so has aroused the entity of the Wall street plnto^ crate—the backers and discoverers of Judge Parker. These are the men who have dominated aud nominated Judge Parker aud it hardly seems probable that relying upon die trust influence aud the trust magnates for his support, he will coerce< the powers that made him. Theodore Roosevelt has a record Of a fight well fought against the trust power and on that record he goes be­ fore the people. That “the vacation snduld fit the man as the punishment fits the crime” is the way one writer disposes of this at pres­ ent all-absorbing question. And the idea seems to be a good one. Most of us will agree that a vacation is for the good but whether it is to be a vacation of strennousness or relaxation depends entirely on the subject himself. A strenuous fishing expedition may cause the complete physical exhaustion of one who was mentally exhausted at the outset and the last state of that man will be worse than the first while a complete rest with'longperiods of sleep might have been just the thing. On the other hand, the fishing expedition may be just what will tone up another man and aet him on his feet again. The point is that the vacation should be varied to fit the man. Already the party claim bureaus are making their estimates of party strength and everything bids fair for a lively campaign. The Wall street and monopolistic interests are allying them­ selves with Judge Parker and will give him the election if money can buy it, but Theodore Roosevelt wriil come be­ fore the people with a far different claim to success. He will point to the eight years of prosperity under repub­ lican administration. He will ask the endorsement of his triumphant foreign policy and will ask the support of the people in his fight against the trusts and the plutocratic interests of Wall street. The representative of the people, he will ask the support of the people in order to light the people’s fight. . The death of Oom Paul Kruger has removed a man of heroic stature. Stubborn and narrow minded be may have been, but he fought the good fight and there is something in a good fighter which appeals to all people. It may or may not have been a misfortune that the Transvaal became a part of the British Empire but the memory of Oom Paul, standing resolute against the overwhelming power of a world empire is a pleasant one to the man who belleves that the age of heroes is not yet entirely past * ’ ■'< In their free for all efforts to please everybody—to declare for nothing and and at the same time to court the support of both the silver and gold wing, of the party, the democrats must have had in mind that old fable of the ,shield which appeared m gold from one ,aide and aa allwer from the other.

We understand that the Burton Es­ tate is contemplating the construction of a building 110 feet square on their property on the north side of Main street.

Bow do you know whose home this was? There are many such jn every community. Life is too short to be overshadowed by gloom. Let us live bravely and cheerfully as well as industriously.

Tbe Grand Rapids Gas Engine and Yatch Co., are building an eighteen foot launch for Kirk Grant for use at Gun lake. It will be launched in a week or so. Preparations are being made for appealing the case of Pinch vs. Houghtalin and Fitzgerald, to the supreme circuit. Mc.Pineh, ft will be remem­ bered, was the owner of a farm in Orangeville, which was traded to the defendants for the Michigan Inn at Niles. Later he filed suit for damages, alleging fraud, and secured a verdict of 875 In the circuit court. He will ask the supreme court for a more satis­ factory verdict. The figures to be found in the prose­ cutor’s report published in this Msue ought to be sufficient to draw atten­ tion to the fact that the tramp prob-, lem is a live one in Barry County. According to the report, during the last six months 116 persons were arrested for vagrancy and for each arrest the county usually pays an officer 91.25. In addition, the Justice’s fees amount to about S3, and the fees tor locking in and out are generally 70 cents. ‘ The average sentence is probably about twenty days and at 50 cents a day the sheriff’s board bill will amount to S10. This makes the county’s expense for caring for au ordinary vagrant about S15. A contrast with the old system would seem to warrant the statement that something should be done. Under the old regime the sheriff got 75 cents for keeping a tramp over night giving him his breakfast and sending him on his way rejoicing. Of course this method was notan entirely faultless one but it had its advantages from a finan­ cial standpoint at least. More hearts pine away in secret an­ guish, for the want of kindness from those who should be their comforters than from any other calamity in life.

PLETION New Auditorium to be Opened About Sept. 1st by Three Nights* Bazaar. • b or a great many years this city has felt more keenly than anything else perhaps, the need nf an auditorium of suitable size where meetings could be held, lectures delivered aud social par­ ties entertained, and now at last through tbe efforts of Fr. Connors, of St Rose’s Roman Catholic Chufbh, this long needed building is to be supplied. Begun In March, owing to the able supervision of Fr. Connors and the faithful support which he has at all times received from his entire congrega­ tion, the building is rapidly nearing completion and will probably be dedi. cated about the first of September. The new building will be a one story structure of brick and wood, 100 feet long by 40 feet wide with a 20 foot ceiling. It will have an uncrowded •eating capacity of 700 but 800 can be seated on occasions without any seriobs inconvenience. Everything about the building is a model of convenience and nothing is more coulmendable than the thoughtfulness taken to provide against danger by fire, four large exits making it possible to get all the occupants out of the building in lees than two min­ utes. This also reflects great credit upon Fr. Connors who in addition to originating the scheme and engineer­ ing the.construction of the building, drew up the plans and specifications with the skill and accuracy of a pro­ fessional architect.

Mr. Bryan says the plan adopted to secure the nomination of Alton Parker was “a plain and deliberate at­ tempt to deceive the party.” He fol­ lows this thought with the statement that if J udge Parker had sent to tho Albany convention his St Louis tele­ gram he would not have been nom inated. Mr. Bryan speaks the truth, and his declaration that hfe will vole for Parker will give little aid to a canvasa based on false pretenses.—Jackson CNHten. tor once we agree with the New York papers, like the Sun, Times, Her­ ald and Journal. The democratic plat­ form is deceptive, dishonest, humiliat­ ing, and worse than meaningless. To us, it seems a grave wrong to approve such an uncertainity. It means no political principle, except greed, cow­ ardice and deception.

NO. 14 Hastings Banner HA3TINO3, MICHIGAN. THUK5DAY AUGUST 4, 1904, TlfAT DRAIN (ASt THE FULL TEXT w DECISION THE As Handed Down by the Supreme Court at Lansing Last Week. Dhrough the courtesy of Colgrov® & Potter we are able to give to our readers the full text of the deciBion of the Supreme court on the Thornapple kike drain. It will be seen that the . t'isiuu is based upon the fact that -ornappleriver and lake are navig­ ate waters and that the proposed •!r tiu would impair their navigability which would be contrary to statute. The other questions raised were not passed upon by the court. • »no of the results of the court’s decision that the Thornapple river is a • gable stream will be that all fences across the river will have to be re­ moved. . In many places the river is spanned by several strands of barbed re and inasmuch as these impair the iviability of the river they will have : me down. This will be welcome news to fishermen who have often been : riously annoyed by these unlawful obstructions.

As long as there was timber In the vicinity It was floated upon the lake, and In early days timber was brought down the tribut­ aries not only to a boom and mill upon the lake, but also down the outlet to a mill situated at Quimby a mile or two below th^lake and it has been navig­ ated since by thousands in steamboats ana skiffs owned by complainants. The stream and lake were therefore, navigable waters under our decisions. See Moore vs. Sauborne 2 Mich. 520, Lorman vs. Benson 8 Mich. ^Ster­ ling vs. Jackson 69 Mich. 530. As shown by the last mentioned case, the Ordinance of 1787 which provided: “The navigable waters leading into the Mississippi and St. Lawrence, and the carrying places between the same, shall be common highways, and for ever free, as well to the inhabitants of the said territory as to the citixens of the United Stetes, and those of any other states that may be admitted into the Confederacy, without any tax, impost, or duty therefor.” saved to the public the right to navig­ ate the streams of the state by bateaux and even canoes. Who can doubt that the Grand river and its tributaries were navigable under this rule, as well as Thornapple fake through which the river runs. It may be that hurrying the water from the surface of the land by artifi­ cial drains, which empty it into the Great lakes with a celerity which nature abhors, is essential to public health'. Under this statute it is pos­ sible that private lakes and ponds may be obliterated iu the interest of public health, upon compensating the owners for the loss (which, however has not been done nor proposed in this in­ stance), but the Legislature has set bonds to the practise by limiting such draining, and prohibiting the impair­ ing of the navigability of water. Thornapple lake being navigable, aud this drain being admittedly intended to lower the ordinary level of the lake four feet, it is forbidden by the statute. As this point disposes of the case we do not pass upon other questions raised. The decree is aflirmed. The other Justices concurred. ADDITIONAL LOCAL. The P.

C. walker Large Congregation Assembled at the Presbyterian Church Sunday Evening. It was a large aud sympathetic aud­ ience which assembled at the Presby­ terian church Sunday evening to listen to the farewell service given to Dr. and Mrs. G. fl. Walker, on the eve. of their departure for six years of missionary service in Siam. On all sides were friends who bad known MrZ Walker for many years and who, fully ap­ preciating the sacrifices incident to sei vice as a missionary, had wished at least to show their sympathy and en­ couragement by their presence. in ad­ dition to this, the fact that Mrs. Wai. ker is the first to go from this county into the mission field also lent signifi­ cance to the occasion. Ab had been previously announced the service was a union one and mem­ bers of all the churches in the city were present The Rev. Mr. Crandall opened the service with Bcripture read­ ing, and after prayer by Rev. Trott, Rev. VanAuken spoke of the ]>otentiallty of the Christian home and in­ troduced Mrs. Walker as one who would exemplify this ideal in a foreign land. Mrs. Walker then told of hej plans for the immediate future, how on Aug. 18, with fifty-five other missionaries, she and Dr. Walker would sail from San Francisco on the steamer Dorric Most of theee she said would be left in Japan, Corea, China and the Philip­ pines, but she and Dr. Walker would go to Siam. Here Dr. Walker would have charge of the hospital at Nakawn, relieving Dr. Swart. At first, she said, their preference had been China but Siam had been se­ lected for them and they had yeilded to this selection. Speaking of Siam, she told of the climate, and how there were two seasons, the wet and the dry. She then told of the usual articles of diet, of the vast jungles to be trav­ ersed, and touched upon several of the peculiar superstitions of the natives. Speaking of her own work, she said that while Dr. Walker’s work as a med­ ical missionary was very definite, her own work was rather undecided but it would pfobably lie in presenting to the people the example of an-ideal home. After touching upon the beauty uf service at home as well as iu foreign fields, she closed her talk with an ap­ peal for the pray ere and sympathy of the congregation. * Dr. Walker was then introduced by Rev. H. H. VanAuken. Speaking ot the occasion as one of the supreme moments of his life, Dr. Walker passed on to characterize the need of missioaries among the people who were “without God in the world” and how it was clearly the duty of all of ub to try to lift them up to the Christian level. The missionary he said bad four reasons for going into foreign lands. The first lay In the utter helplegneas of the heathen millions. And this help­ lessness he illustrated by references to Africa lying under the curse of the European’s fire-water, and China labor­ ing under the burden of opium and idolatry, a country “whose priests are cruel and whose Gods are lifeless.’’ The second reason he said was the problem of human suffering and in the solution of this problem lay the op -portunity of the medical missionary. Speaking of this branch of work, he said the medical miasionary had before all others, the first chance. “First heal the body and then you can hlal the- Probate Court. Estate of Lena and Ray R.

It was a complete sur­ prise and as the carryall stood before the door the host and hottess held up their hands and gave over the whole farm to the marauders. Tommy and Jerry wore uniforms not of the Regula­ tion Army kind but they made a fine appearance ancfti tted well the purpose of the day.

About 250 from this city attended the Methodist Sunday school picnic at Thornapple lake Friday, and of course the usual good time was enjoyed by every one present. After a very pleas­ ant dinner a program of sports was carried out under the direction of J. C. Ketcham, the time honored bag race and all other features receiving due at­ tention. Literary exercises of a very interesting character were also indulged in and several pleasing recitations were given by the junior members of the school. Al Keith is in jail once more. This time the reason of his incarceration lies in a commitment for three months issued by Justice Bishop on June 24.

CONCERNING TAXES AN EXPLANATION OF SEVERAL POINTS Supervisor Osborn Tells Why City Taxes are Higher This Year Than Last. For some little time, there has been considerable complaint concerning the city taxes raised during the past month, a great many persons claiming that the tax levied was excessive when compared with last July’s tax. The talk finally became so insistent that the matter was taken up and discussed at the meeting of the board ef trade last Mon­ day evening and inasmuch as the board thought that most of the talk arose from misunderstanding and misinfor­ mation, a resolution was passed ask­ ing the mayor afict common council to make a formal statement explaining the matter. Of course the official statement has not yet been prepared but through the kindness of Supervisor Osborn, we are able to present a partial explanation to our readers. When asked why the taxes thiB year were much higher than those in July last year, Mr. Osborn said that the whole matter was based upon the adoption of the new city charter which went into effect July 1, 1903. <“In December 1902,"hesaId “The taxes were raised for a full year up to Dee. 1903 for city, county, state and school purpose. But in July of 1903, the new city charter went into effect and accord­ ing to its ^provisions another city tax had to be levied to raise taxes for the city expenses until July 1,1904. It was found however that the city having raised a full year’B tax in December 1902, had about 87,000 on hand, it was estimated that the city’s expenses for the year commencing July 1, 1903 would be about 818,000 and deducting the 87,000 on hand it was found that only about 811,000 would have to be levied in J uly 1903. This of course was only a trifle over one-half of the city expenses for the year and the rate was corespondingly low but it must not be forgotten that the people paid 818,000 for city expenses this year just the same. It is true that part of this 818,000 was paid in December 1902 but in the long run it was all the same thing, “In July 1901 however a full tax had to be raised and there was no large fund on band. It was estimated that 816.000 would be enough, and whereas in the previous year only 811,000 of the 818,000 was raised in July, the entire amount had to be raised at once this time. Of course the rate was higher, than that of a year ago but it will be seen that the city expenses were really 82,000 lighter, the only difference being . that in July 1904 a whole year’s expen-' ses were raised at one time while In July 1903 there was a balance from the previous December’s taxes which would have run the city until Decern ber 1903 had not the change been made in the charter.” In Aemorism. Entered into Paradise July 25th Mary J. Bennett aged 25 yeara though a resident of Hastings only a few months, a comparative stranger to many; those with whom she came in contact felt she was the embodiment of all the womanly virtues that com­ bine to make the truly Christian char­ acter. Her childlife and early girlhood were passed in a home where love and prosperity protected her from every ad­ verse wind. An early Christian Education direct­ ed her to the communion of the Church. She was baptised by Rev. Spaulding, prepared for confirmation by Rev. R. H. H. Gairdner, then Rector of Tripity, Niles, confirmed by Bishop Gillespie and later entered into the work of the Church in the mission at Cassapolis with the Rev. J. W. Bancroft as his or­ ganist; a work she was well fitted to assume. Her love and zeal was impart­ ed to all who came in contact with her and when adversity came to those loved with the same resolution, same activity, without one selfish tlve she gave herself a willing sacrifice, until an illness singularly painful and protracted, claimed her and for four long weary months she patiently and without one murmur awaited her Savi­ or’s summons. She was buried in Riverside Cemetery, close to the Rector she loved so well.

August 1.— A pretty romance, promoted by en­ dearing epistles scribbled on the bot­ tom of strawberry boxes, culminated a few days ago when Miss Dora Spencer and Frank Owens, two deaf mutes em­ ployed In the Dunkley canning factory eio|jed to- Chlcagd sum! were married. Their courtship, although of but three weeks’ duration, was novel in the extreme. Owens met his wife while crossing the lake to look for emplwyment in this city. Standing on. the upper deck of the steamship H_ W. Williams, a gust of wind caught Ow­ ens* hat and carried it far out the lake. Ln the algn language the mute expressed himself strongly at his loan. Miss Spencer, who a few feet away had watched the incident,' offered a tiny silk handkerchief to Owens as a sub-! stitute for the mlMin* headdrewe. The two arriving in the city applied for work together at the canning fac­ tory. Although separated by two board walls Dan Cupid coullnued toengineer the affair he. had so success­ fully stated. A portion of Miss Spen­ cer’s duties was to pick up the empty 1 strawberry boxes read}- for crating I again. Owens packed the boxes. Owens received all new law's and Miss j Spencer distributed them.

Bran is used when the fabric to be washed Is dyed, printed or embroidered with delicate colors or, for that matter, with any colors. Alkali is an enemy to color. Why else should we t»e It u a bleach or stain extractor? So soap, which is a combination of alkali and grease, must be tabooed. The bran is saponaceous, but contains no alkali; therefore it can be safely used in wash­ ing colored fabrics and embroideries and colored wools (knitted and crocbet• ed work).

The Gentleman From Indiana By BNIB TAMWGTON xurmng quickly, the foreman beheld a blushing and smiling little vision, a vlzlon with light brown hair, a vision enveloped in a light brown rain cloak and with brown gloves from which tht bandies of a big brown traveling bag were let fall as the vision dis­ appeared under the cotton uinbreija, while the smitten Judd Bennett reeled gasping against the station. “Dearest," the girl cried to the old man, “you should have been looking for me between the devil and tbe deep sea. the parlor car and the smoker! I’ve given up cigars, and I’ve begun to study economy, so I didn’t come on either!” The drizzle and mist blew in under the top of the “cut under" as they drove rapidly into town, and bright lit­ tle drops sparkled on the fair hair above the new editor’s forehead and on the long lashes above the new editor’s cheeks. She shook these transient gems off lightly as she paused in tbe doorway of the office at the top of the rickety stairway. . Mr. Schofield had just added the last touch to hia decorations and managed to slide Into hia coat as the party came up the stairs, and now, perspiring, proud, embarrassed, be assumed an at­ titude at once deprecatory of hia en­ deavors and pointedly expectant of commendations for the results. (He was a modest youth and a conscious. After his first sight of ber as she stood In the doorway it was several days be­ fore he could lift his distressed eyes under tbe new editor’s glance or, in­ deed, dare to avail himself of more than a hasty and fluttering stare at her when her back was turned.) As she entered the room he sidled along the wall and laughed sheepishly at nothing. Every chair in tbe room was orna­ mented with one of hia blue rosettes, tied carefully and firmly to tbe middle slat of each chair back. There had been several yards of ribbon left over, and there was a hard knot of glossy satin On each of tbe Inkstands and on the doorknobs. A blue bafcd passing around tbe stovepipe lent it an antique rakishness suggestive of the charioteer, and a number of streamers suspended from a hook in tbe celling encouraged a supposition that the employees of the Herald were contemplating the in­ tricate festivities of May day. It need­ ed no ghost to infer that these garni­ tures' hod not embellished the editorial chamber during Mr. Harkless’ activity, but, on the contrary, bad been put in place that very morning. Mr. Flsbee had not known of the decorations, and as his eye fell upon them a faint look of pain passed over his brow. But the girl examined the room with a dancing eye, and there were both tears and laughter in her heart “How beautiful!" she cried. "How beautiful!" She crossed the room and gave her hand to Roes. “It is Mr. Schofield, isn’t It? Tbe ribbons are delightful. I didn't know Mr. Dark­ less' room was so pretty.” Ross looL-d out of the window and laughed as be took her hand, which he shook with a long up and down motion, but be was set at better ease by her apparent unconsciousness of the fact that the decorations were for her. “Oh. it ain’t mnch, I reckon," he replied, and continued to look out of the win­ dow and laugh. ** She went to the desk and removed her gloves and laid ber rain cloak over a chair near by. “Is this Mr. Harkless' chairF' she asked, and. Flsbee answer­ ing that it 'was, she looked gravely at it for a moment, passed her hand gently over tbe back of it and then, throwing the rain cloak over another chair, said cheerily: "Do you know, I think tbe first thing for us to do will be. to dust everything very carefully F’ "You remember, I was confident she would know precisely where to begin," was Flsbee’s earnest whisper In the willing ear of the long foreman. "Not an Instant's indecision, was thereF’ ’ "No, siree,” replied the other, and as be went down to the pressroom to bunt for a feather duster which he thought might be found there he collared Bud Tipworthy, the devil, who, not admit­ ted to the conclave of bls superiors, was whistling on the rainy stairway. “You hustle and find that dustbrush we used to have, Bnd," said Parker. And .-presently as they rummaged tn the nooks and crannies about the ma­ chinery he melted to his smsdl assist­ ant. ’The paper is saved, Buddie— roved by an angel in light brawn.

AT EMMANUEL CHURCH TUESDAY MORNING Mrs. Martha W. Wightman and Silas E. Crawford Married by Rev. Mr. Aves. Always impressive, the stately wecTding ceremony of the Episcopal church was never more dignified than on Tuesday morning, when, standing at the communion rail before ra altar tastily decorated with palms and sweet peas, Mrs. Martha W. Wightman of this city was uuited in marriage to Mr Silas E. Crawford of Norwalk, Ohio, in Emmanuel Episcopal church, the Rev. Mr. Aves of Galveston, Texas, performing the ceremony. Although no invitations had been issued the church was early filled with the many friends of the bride and a t ten o’clock as Miss Minnie Matthews played the beautiful Mendelsohnns Wedding March, the bride, dressed in a magnificent gown of gray chiffon silk and trimmings of real lace and proceed­ ed by Miss Fay Brown as ring bearer, entered the church from the south door and proceeded down the main aisle to the chancel steps. Here she was met by the groom and escorted to the steps of the altar where the ceremony was performed. Immediately after the ceremony a wedding breakfast was served, at the home of the bride on Jefferson Street. Only the immediate relatives and the Rev. Mr. Aves were present, covers be­ ing laid for twelve. The decorations were in pink and white, a beautiful boquet of sweet peas forming the center piece. Sweet peas were also strewn upon the snowy table cloth and draped upon the electrolier overhead. Bunches of holly hocks of the prevail­ ing tone were placed upon the side­ board. The favors were sweet peas. The breakfast was served in five courses, Mrs, Wood catering. Mr. and Mrs. Crawford left Tuesday noon on the fast train for Detroit going yesterday to Put-in-Bay, where the State League of Loan and Trust Com­ panies is in session. Here also a ban quet will be given in their honor by the members of the Home Savings and Loan Co., of Norwalk, of which Mr. Crawford is vice-president. Mr. and Mrs. Crawford will then take an extended trip of several weeks and after Sep­ tember 15th, will be at home at 52 Lin­ wood Avenue. Norwalk. * Both Mr. and Mrs. Crawford are people of infinenoe and culture. In addition to many other honors, Mrs. Crawford has twice been president of the local Women's Club having been re­ elected last spring. Although claiming this city as her home for many years, wide and extensive travel both at homo and abroad has added to her native gifts and marked her attainments in literature and other learning as excep­ tional. From every side are heard ex­ pressions of regret that this city has lost a woman of such culture and social leadership. Mr. CrawforH is a man of means and influence. Beaides being vice president of the Home Savings & Loan Co., of Nor­ walk, with,a capitalization of $5,000,000, he is also head of the Cleveland and South Western Traction Co. He has twice been mayor of his city, having been elected 6n a democratic ticket in a city strongly republican. Both he and Mrs. Urawfard are staunch mem­ bers of the Episcopal Church. Thosefpresent at the wedding from out of town were: • Mrs. Jane Green, of Attica, sister of the bride, and her daughter Mrs. Frank B. Silcox and son, Lysle, also of Attica Church and S ociety.

JOHN The democratic party says: “We promise to do.’’ The republican party says: “We have done." The democratic sparty must explain why it didn’t do this or that. The republican party doesn't have to explain, for success needs no ex­ planation or excuse. As Ben Tillman says, in a crisis the democratic party makes a — fool of itself. The'republican party doesn't. It does the right thing, always.—Jackson Citizen. “The supreme mission of the demo­ cratic party in the United States is to keep alive the principle of competition.” The above are the words of James Crefiman, staff correspondent of the democratic New York World, in an arti­ cle in the Review of Reviews. It now looks as though the principle of competition even, was very near a corpse Mr. Oreelman is a keen student of poli­ tics, and be has sized up the democracy, present and past, in a way that it would be difficult to excel. Ever the party of opposition, Its object has always been destructive rather than constructive', and the really sound positions it has oc­ cupied in the past half a century have been borrowed from the republican pari-y. Mr. Ureelman is right. “The supreme mission of the democratic party in the United States is to keep alive the principle of competition," and the think­ ing voters will not let it rise superior to its supreme mission this year.— Paw* Paw True Northerner. When the nomination was secured and could not be taken away without putting the Democratic party in a posi­ tion of seeming to regret the gold stand­ ard. Judge Parker sent his telegram. He was immediately hailed by that part of the press which is primarily interested in markets, as a hero who had been will­ ing to sacrifice the Presidency to bis duty. Such Idiocy must Have its re bound. Judge Parker played good pol itics or he did not.' Thoee who tried to turnjhim into a hero did all they could to turd him into an ass. The news­ paper which is trying to prove that it forced him to send the telegram is not doing any more harm than the others which are hailing him as a Casabranca. If the Democrats wish to carry New York not to talk of any Western State, they had better get biisy and show that Judge Parker is less of a plutocrat and more of a Democrat than Theodore Rposvelt.—Collier’s Weekly. The quadrennial miracle of nominat­ ing, electing and inaugurating a Presi­ dent is carried out with so little trouble or friction that we hardly realize what an extraordinary thing it is. Nothing like it has ever been known in any other age or country. The institution of elective monarchy, which is what our Presidential system really is, has never been worked anywhere on such a scale, and never on any scale at all with any long success. French and Swiss Presi­ dents are figureheads, and Latin-Amer­ ican Presidents are {military chiefs. But we have acquired the knack of electing a constitutional monarch for a four-years’ term with such facility that there seems to be no limit to the capacity of our machinery. Apparent­ ly it will work just as well for a popu­ lation of 500,000,006 as for one of 80,000, 000.—Saturday Evening Post. Probate Court. Estate of James H.

With regard to this, Fr. Mullen believes that there will nem er be peace between the Italian govern ment and the church until the govern* ment gives up the province of Rome at least, to the church. Then be thinks an, agreement can be reached between them. It is only among the people of high position, however, he says, that this dispute causes piarty spirit Among the lower classes it is practically un-. heard of. Speaking of the “Eternal City" itself, Fr. Mullen says there is very little in­ deed left of the great structures of the Caeears. . The old forums where the great orators of the past addressed the citizens of the ruling city of the world arg aH in ruins. The Coliseum how­ ever is well perserved as is also the Pantheon. The Temple of Vesta ia also practically intact but most of the magnificent piles of architecture exist only as ruins to mock the spleib dor of their former glory. Twelve years Fr. Mullen has spent in this land of decayed greatness where the C&esara once ruled the world ' and now as was stated above he is home on a four months* permission. He will spend this time visiting relatives here and elsewhere and then he will go to work wherever he is assigned. Where that may be he says is a matter of in­ difference to him. He only wishes to. do the work of his Master and of the Church. Twelve years ago the fourth of last May a young lad thirteen years of age left his parents and friends in this city to go to Rome and Italy, under the su­ pervision of the Rev. Joseph Scheper, Gen. Secretary of the congregation of the most Precioup Blood. Last Mon­ day afternoon that same boy came back to this city, clad in the garb of a priest of the church of Rome. The priest was Rev. Fr. John Mullen and be will exercise his priestly functions by saying mass at his old parish church, St. Rose’s, at 10 o'clock next Sunday morning. As we have said it is over twelve years ago that Fr. Mullen through the influence of Fr. Casimir Rohowski, then priest in charge of SL Rose's went to Rome to study for the priesthood. Here he became a student in the Col­ lege of the Precious Blood and for ten long years devoted himself to the hard and wearisome studies required by the church, graduating from the college in 1902. r While at Precious Blood his work consisted mostly of studies in literature, Hattbews Family Picnic. philosophy and divinity.

I mod not enter Into any extended argument to show you the value of such alllbrary. The tact that there are already m H. brarlea in the district schools of ths county containing over 7,000 eilumes shows the trend of public sentiment in support of tbe library idea. We desire the children of the 88 districts of the county that have no established library to have as good au opportunity to get good reading material as those of the iu;dlstricta that already have libraries. If your,district has no library you can do much to create a sentiment In favor of one. Bring the matter to the atten­ tion of the voters at the annual meet­ ing. By alwo-thlrd vote they can es­ tablish a district library aud then you will be entitled to receive your just pro­ portion of the library money that other­ wise goes to other districts or to other townships.

It requires just as much brain force, just as much hard work to be a good home maker as a man ex­ pends in the outside world. Some men faii to understand how dear little acts of kindness and consideration are the hearts of their wives. The good wife struggles each day to cater to the husband's wishes and comfort, placing self in the background, and tbe husband, possibly, is grateful enough to refrain from criticism, but he allows her to take it for granted that he appreciates all she does for him. What she needs is spoken words of praise; real approval shown in acts and words is an elixir to the wife. Is there not something very beautiful and effective to be seen when we meet a wife and mother rising superior to her domestic troubles and overcoming tbe petty trials encountered in every house, and endeavoring to make that home cheerful and happy? And is it not likewise beautiful when the hus­ band comes to her assistance? There is found in these united homes an in­ dulgence and repose that cannot be obtained elsewhere. The great woman and tbe average woman need alike the loving and unselfish help of the hus­ band in the work of borne making. THE WOMAN AT HOME. What kind of a woman ere you at home?

Mrs. Philo Sheidofi Wtte Called to Grand Rapids Saturday by the suicide of her sister Mrs. Ellen Tubbs. Mrs. Tubbs lived with her mother Mrs. Ellen Reen at Grandville avenue and Hall streets. Rising early Saturday morning, she went to the home of her husband on Grandville avenue and going into a shed at the rear of the house she swallowed a large dose of .(arsenic. She was found at 1 o’clock by her sisters Mis* Margaret Reen and Mrs. H. J. Brouwer and although medical aid was at once summoned, the unfortunate woman died about four hours later. Sometime last winter Mrs. Tubbs and her husband George W. Tubbs separat by mutual consent and it is supposed that domestic troubles arising out of this separation led to the suicide. We are informed that the Board of Trade has under consideration two ap­ plications from factories desiring to locate here. One of these is a shoe factory and the other would manufact ore cast iron rollers and cast iron dfiaducifi. Both of these factories would be good Instltuttons and would keep up property values and pay thousands of dollars in salaries annually. They are jnat what the city needs: but to get them there must be bonuses and bonus es mean money. So far the only favorable way to raise money seems to lie in a proposition which was submit­ ted by tbe Board sometime ago. Brief­ ly, It is that each property owner should agree to pay twenty cent* per 8100 as•essed valuation. This would raise a considerable fund and according to the terms of the proposition could be used for no other purpose than for bonus to get factorise here. Twenty cent* per $100 »tw is is only oirry one vue fifth of one per cent but with this greet reeglu could be accomplished. here Monday.

Elvira Mlllu School will begin September 6, 1904 and close June 16, 1905. Perhaps the most notable feature to | be added this year is the new Normal Training Department? For a long time there has been a strongly felt need of additional training for rural teach­ ers and it is the aim of thb new Normal Department to supply this training at a coet which will put it within the reach of many who could not afford to go to a State Normal. The tuition in this department will-be absolutely free and the fact that board can be obtain­ ed at any of the numerous boarding houses of the city or in private families at a very low and reasonable rate will gopossible » make it for any one to attend. For the purpose of the Normal De­ partment a room will be furnished in the central school building under the immediate charge of Miss Harriet L. Peckham. Miss Peckham is a normal teacher of experience and has had gfeat success in this line of work. She will also have the assistance of various members of the high school faculty who will conduct classes at convenient periods. Students will alstf have the privilege of actually teaching iu the lower grades of the school and will have the benefits of Miss Peckham’s able criticisms. At present the course of study iu the Normal Department will be limited to one year. It will consist of work Id psychology, pedagogy, algebra, english, history etc., and will be on a par with the work offered at any of the State Normals the first year. Arrangements have also been made for a transfer of credits between the State and County Normals without loss of time. A fuller account of the action of the State Board of Education in ibis respect will be found elsewhere in this Issue. As to the High School department it is hardly necessary to say that the usual high grade of excellence will be maintained. E. J. Edger has been retain­ ed as principal and this alone is suffi­ cient guarantee for the success of the year’s work and with Miss Clara Alli­ son in charge of the Latin Department and Mr. U. T. Wallace backing up the science department, the High School is In a position to do better than ever birthdays of Glen# Freer, Mrs. Kepi Silsbee and Miss Olga Garrison, Mrs. Albert Beamer gave a silent supper in honor ofjthe event.

Mrs. Will Olney gives a reception this afternoon at her home on Broad­ way in honor of her daughter, Mrs. John Quinn, and Miss Viola Quinn, of Chicago. A party of young people under the chaperonage of Mrs. Chas. Warner are spending the week at Wall lake. A­ mong other'things a very interesting play will be produced and a jolly good time is expected.

Frank Jones, Floyd, Claud and Leonard Pierson, Lewis and Phillip Niskern, Robert and Hubert Cook, Cheater Pryor, Leonard Newton apd Bert Zageimeier. Invitations have been issued by Mrs. Margaret Slater, of Ann Atbpr, for the wedding reception of her daughter Miss Martha Slater to Mr. James New ton Pierce on the evening of Thursday August 25th at 8 o’clock at 45 Council street Ann Arbor. Mr. and Mrs. Pierce will be at home after October 16t at Evanston, ill. Miss Slater will be remembered here, having been the teacher of Latin and German in the High School during the school year of 1899-1900. Ruth Weissert, of Hastings, who is visiting Miss Tower at no. 170 Highland avenue, was the guest at several parties given in her honor last week.

Saturday afternoon Mrs. Kellar Stem assisted by her daughter Margaret, very pleasantly entertained a company of twelve guests in honor of the fifth birthday anniversary of her daughter Kathryn.

Those present were: Ellen Sullivan, Ada Bradley, Beatrice Sharphorn, Josephine Anderson, Doro­ thy Cook, Aimee Henkes, Irma Barber, Charlie . Babcock, Gardner Chidester, and Keith Chidester. The original “Breaker” girls gave a most delightful supper to the “Breaker” fellows at the home, of Miss Myrtle Sullivan on Green street last Friday afternoon. The whole affair was mod­ eled upon the lines of long ago, the young ladies wearing the costumes of the distant past and the supper con­ sisting of old fashioned dishes served in an old fashioned style.

Tuesday and placed in nomination a county ticket faultless from top to bottom. From the very outset great interest was manifested in al! the work of the convention, and al­ though at times the contest for nomitions became rather hot and spirited still the results seemed to be accepted in good part and the convention ad­ journed In perfect harmony and good feeling. The convention was called to order by Chairman Ketcham and the call was read by Secretary Kenaslon. Mr. Ketcham then called Hon. C. L. Glas­ gow to the chair as temporary chair­ man. Mr. Glasgow took the opportunity of addressing the convention. His speech was an able one and inasmuch as it was chiefly devoted to an explana­ tion of- his views on primary reform was listened to with interest and in­ terrupted by frequent applause. Speak­ ing of primary reform Mr. Glasgow said that he should give all bls efforts to secure for the people of Michigan as much and as full a measure of primary reform as they demanded. . After Mr. Glasgow had concluded, C. H. Osborn was made temporary secre­ tary and Carl Loveland, of Prairieville, and Lee Bailey, of Maple Grove, were elected temporary tellers. Upon mo-, tlon the following committees were ap pointed by the chair. Permanent Ormuilration and Order of Buslne»n-B. A. Perry. Hastlnrn, Goo. M. Miller, Johntnown. A. O. Bivens. Maple Grove. Committee on Credentials-F. M. Barry, Asjyria. Wesley Myers, of Woodland, Frank Wat­ ers. of Rutland. Committee an Resolutions—H. H. Van Auken, City. A. M. Nevins, Orangeville, D. R. Mcl^ay, Castleton. An adjournment was then taken un­ til two o’clock p. m. The afternoon seaaion was called to order by Chairman Glasgow and the report of the committee on credentials was read aud accepted. The tellers and other officers being sworn by Mr. Ketch­ am, the convention proceeded to the order of business. The first business was the nomina­ tion of a member of State House of Representatives. For this office two names were presented, those of W. H. Schantz, of Hastings township, and A. F. Sylvester, of this city. When the roll was called it was found Mr. Schantz was the winner, by a vote of 66 to 43. For the office of Probate Judge the efficient services of Judge Mack, the present incumbent, were recognized by the convention and he was nominated by a vote of 89 to 20 for John Velte, of Woodland, whose name had been p; e sented for a complimentary vote. For Sheriff, Victor B. Furniss, of Castleton, was placed in nomination by O. M. McLaughlin, of that township, while Gilbert Striker, of this city, was nominated by C. H. Osborn. The fight which ensued was a pretty one but Mr. Furniss had too many votes and was nominated by a vote of 71 to 38. Probably the hottest fight before the convention was the contest for County Clerk. For this office four nominations were made, Orville C. Barnum, of Carl­ ton, and A. F. Norris, of Hope, being the chief Contestants, while Engene H. Sisson, of Freeport, and C. F. Brooks, of this city were also placed in nomina­ tion. From the very outset it was seen that the fight was to be a close one, and so it was, four ballots being neces­ sary to secure a choice. On the first ballot Mr. Norris was slightly'in the lead, securing 43 votes, while Mr. Bar­ num received 40, Mr. Sisson, 25, and Mr. Brooks 1. The second ballot plac ed Mr. Barnum ip ■ the lead with 45 votes while Mr. Norris remained sta­ tionery at 43, Mr. Sisson lost four votes, and Mr. Brooks’ name was withdrawn. On the third ballot things began to get interesting, Mr. Barnum getting 49 votes, while Mr. Xorris was close be­ hind with 45 . Mr. Sisson received 15 votes. Up to this time Mr. Sisson’s votes had prevented an election. His name was now withdrawn, leaving only Mr. Barnum and Mr. Norris before the convention. Mr. Barnum, however, seemed to pull most of the Sisson votes and won out on the next ballot with 62 votes to Mr. Norris’ 47. The contest for Register of Deeds also was not devoid of interest, there being three candidates. In a good logi­ cal speech Ellis Faulkner, of Delton, placed in nomination C. C. Backus, of Barry. Dr.'Hyde, of Prairieville, name of Vincent Stamm. The ballot tells the whole story. It read as fol­ lows: Doster 67, Backus 39, Stamm 3» , When it came to the office of Treas­ urer there was only one course of ac­ tion open to the convention. For the past two years this office has been filled creditably and well by Mr. (iw>. Coleman, of Johnstown, and following the time honored precedent of the party l*e was renominated for- that office, Revv Van Auken making the nominating speech. For Prosecuting Attorney there was but one name that of Lee H. Pryox which was presented to the convention by Mr. Kellar Stem. Speaking of Mr. Pryor, Mr. Stem said he was a young man who had taken advantage of the heritage which belongs to every Amer-, lean citizen aud had attained sucosea only by hard and honest work. On mo­ tion the secretary cast the vote of the convention for Mr. Pryor. A fter the announcement of the vote the euthusi asm became so great that Mr. Pryor was forced to yield to the demands ot his friends and address the convention,. in a speech characterized by its wonder­ ful measure of good judgment anti good sense. After thanking the con­ vention for the honor which it had con­ ferred upon him. Mr. Pryor spoke ot the issues before theparty at presentk Pure politics and honest methods would be his creed, he said, and his campaign should above all things be an honest, one.

The nomination was secured, therefore, by crw»ked and iudefensibliwnettodfi.” In the poultry department also several much needed changes have been made.

A Ellas of Sarnia, Ont., who has been on the grounds with his family, is one of the most brilliant of all evangelical workers. In his sermon Saturday he delivered In impassioned tones a sermon both in Indian and English, swinging without a break or pause from one to’ the other, exhorting all within sound of his voice, begging, imploring in his native tongue, entreat­ ing and compelling in English the white audience with the strength of his powerful magnetic voice, until the very spirit of the Almighty, who hs worshiped with such strength, seemed to manifest His Divine presence among them, and they arose as one, and knelt before the altar in one great prayer for help and strength. The speaker closed his appeal by giv­ ing tbe pathetic prayer of his dying mother, who gave her orphaned child into the hands of the Almighty, with absolute faith that He would receive the charge. He closed by saying: *T would never have stood here today, anU I would never have passed the bounds of my own race had it not been for the prayer of my dying mother. I am glad for Christ’s sake thAf God answered that humble woman’s prayer and made of me one of His servants, and He gave me borrowed language of an alien race, and thus I can reach you, strangers all, but one In God."

With the nomination of a county ticket by the democrats at the City Hail last Saturday the fall campaign teems to have begun in earnest and there is every indication that the tight Will be on in full force soon. As usual the democrats in the county Were badly hampered in their attempts to fill up a ticket by a general disin­ clination on the part ot.their party men to make a run but they nevertheless managed to put up a good clean ticket. Do the other hand, the republicans had the advantage of a good sharp skirmish Tor nominations and it is doubtful if Smith has consented to remain at Ann Arbor until about the middle of Oct­ ober, to aid in getting out the paper. After that time he will go to Phila­ delphia and enter upon his du ties there. Yesterday afternoon Mrs. Ed.

During the past week an application has been tiled with Drain Commissioner Burgess to extend and lower the Bris­ tol lake drain in Baltimore about 120 rods and a survey will be made soon. Applications were also tiled to deepen, widen and straighten the Mud Creek drain in Baltimore and the Jewell drain in Johnstown and the necessary surveys were ordered. A notice of the letting of a contract to clean out the Kent drain has also been given and will be found elsewhere in this issue. Thos.

The Pennock family tree was ber% introduced tracing the generations back and giving proof of their right to be called a member of thq^ Pennock Re­ union. It was necceasarily tedious to some but very interesting to others. Miss Vlnnie Ream gave a numbefot readings in her usual pleasing manner, every one being very much enjoyed. The piano duet by the Misses Hoyt and Beers w,as very pleasing. The meeting was here adjourned for dinner. Mr. Pennock had prepared about 100 feet of table but more tablee. were brought out and added to Itc These tables were well filled with all the good things possible to city and country life and justice was done thedinner though some one said there was as much left as there was when they began. After the jolly waiters had partaken -of their dinner the program was renewed with music by orcbe8trev reading by Vinnie Ream andadueb “O Morning Lknd” by Mr. and Mrs Barnaby. In the confusion of the day it was forgotten to call upon one of b?st piauis e, Mrs. Carrie Innes, of .Har­ bor Springs it being understood at the time of the making out of the program that she would not be able to come. They then arranged themselves la front of the house for a picture bub there being such a strong wind It did not prove a success. The carryall was kept busy running back and forth to every train. Last but not least was the one hour’s, wait on the Kalamazoo track back of' Mf. Peunock’s barn. It was here that a hearty vote of thanks was given.Jtn and Mrs. Pennock for the use of their beautiful grounds. The time to watt was long but passed quickly with fun< and frolic, good looking dinner baskets mysteriously disappeared some of them we hear had a pie face and one elderly man was seen running down the track with some cookies saying “I am going to get but of that crowd." Our new found relation from Williamston |ad« ded much to the pleasure of the day. Thus ends the first Pennock Reunion, Judge Parker as a Leader. If J udge Parker takes the stump as the National Democratic Committee desire, it will]-'be ’ii/teresting to follow his discussion of the, issues of * the campaign. The Democratic Conten­ tion at St. Louis avoided the financi­ al issue because the delegates oould nbt agree on a financial plank, but tijat convention did take a positive posi­ tion on the tariff, the Philippines the trust and other questions. This waft more than Judge Parker did in his speech of acceptance. In that dignified utterance Judge Parker was uncertain and at times apologetic regarding! the issues of the campaign. On the tariff he said: “I am for tariff revision there need be no fear because my parcycannot do anything to revise the tariff because -of a Republican Senate.” What furthei contribution on the thrift can Judge Parker make if he got-4 on the stump? Will be stand with* hia party anil denounce Republican pro­ tection as robbery, as one of the great­ est evils of the age and still admit that he and his party can and wilj do nothing to-change this, if he should be elected? ’ On the trust ■question Judge Packer was still more equivocal and uncertain, almost justifying the declaration of Bryan that his nomination nullifiecyu^ trust planks in the St. Lojiis platform. Judge Parker in his speech of accept­ ance justified the complaint of trusts and said the common liw was enopgh to deal with them; the courts (xjuld apply? the common cplhmon law,, law,- nothing n u ore < applyingaw needed,:bat U 1 inilaw was needed,,bnt if he — was -thista|ten in this view, he was willing to be convinced of that mistake and/act accordingly. Is this the great man who has been nominated by the Democratic party because of hie superior w|sdom, hit judicial balance, his farseelng judge­ ment and his incorruptible spirit? Hh was heralded aa a leader who would lead, and yet on every question before the people to-be discussed inithis campaign, he has been halting and uncertain in, his first expression, _accepting the. nomination. His party has; boldly blazed the way but he as leader hat given no expression on any one question that would indicate that he had a conviction beyond chat he could as President fill the office with dignity. Judge Parker has already made bls utterance on the tariff, the trust*, the Philippines question and other q. estiont and he haa on alfassumed the attitude of the young school teacher who said he believed the world was flat but ha was ready to teach it rdund or fiat m the patrons of the school desired. That is the leadership of J udge Parkes,.

For the second time the city of Paw Paw has held a “Home coming week" and the complete success ot the venture in every respect cannot but suggest a similar week for this city. Of course it is hardly to be expected that it will be taken up at once but at any rate the fact that other cities are holding home comings and holding them successfully is something in favor of the adoption the Republican Electors ot the State of Thje*«tate Convention of the Republicans of Mlcblgiuj is hereby called to meet in the city of Batlnaw.

No Experiments Desired. 1 lluilding up prosperity under wi«e legislation is a long and tedious pro'cesa but its destruction is quickly and easily accomplished. Nothing could whow this more conclusively than the ’experience of the country during the panicky Grover and Clover times of ’93 to *97 and now once more the Demo­ cratic party is repeating the tactics of the last Cleveland administration and is asking the voters of this country to authorize it to make a change. It is not too harsh to say that our experience in the past has been that 'when the Democratic party made a Change it was a change for the worse. *Thia time the party does not profess to Kje able to make a complete change/ •Judge Parker in his speech of accept- ^auce admitted that the Democrats could not entirely oust the Republican Control of the Government. *But” the Democrats say “give us j ust a little chance to make a change. 4-^t iW do what we can to turn things around and upside down. Give us the administration of the executive branch of the Government and the House of Representives, and we will do some­ thing." Too true. Given control of the exe­ cutive they could do something and ^iven control of the House they could "block the Republicans from further Wise legislation. But do She people \rant the Democrats to tamper in a Ralf-baked fashion with existing legis­ lation*? Is not wise administration of existing Jaws better than experiments 4 a Government? -The people know exactly what they have ’dn the statute books and they have Mfc* *Hk results of the laws. The Three main questions which enter into 'polities and statesmanship at this time relate to the tariff, the financial system and the control of the Philippines. We have had a fair trial of administration existing laws on these subjects. It this city be given up for show purposes. And if we mistake not, the sentiment of the business interests is such that the opposition to closing the streets would be united, and to an extent that would go su far as serving an Injunction if “During the seven years that have just passed there is no duty, domestic or foreigtf, which we have shirked; no necessary task which we have feared to undertake, or which we have not per­ formed with reasonable efficiency. We have never pleaded impotence. We have never sought refuge in criticism and complaint instead of action. We' face the future with our past and our’ present as guarantors of our promises;: and we are contend to stand or to fall by the record which we have made and are1 making.”—President Roosevelt’s speech1 accepting 1904 nomination.

For the fourth time Mr. W. H.

PENINSULAR Peninsular Planished Steel Ranges One of the most disgusting shows of the carnival, and a feature that ought not to be tolerated on the street for a moment, is one of the snake shows where a certain human creature eats snakes. Such a disgraceful exhibition never ought to be tolerated for a mo­ ment in a civilized community, and is a most degrading, demoralizing sight for the youth of this city and vicinity The Greatest Fuel Saving and Quickest Baking Ranges ever made to witness. At last the widely advertised whole week’s carnival and street fair is in full swing and although its swing seems to be somewhat restricted, it is only just to the Capital Amusement Company to say that the apparent failure of the carnival is no fault of their’s. The company’s shows may| be all right but the people are disgusted with the carnival idea and are simply not patronizing the various showrf or even appearing on the street. The presen ^carnival company is not all>bad but it came here unexpectedly against a well known andwidely felt prejudice on the part of the business men and SHOWN IN FULL OPERATION—BAKING BISCUITS IN FOUR MINUTES Free Refreshments Served Daily Guaranteed Bond Given by Maker with Each Range—Exclusive Designs Commencing August 29 and Closing September 3 WEISSERT BROS residents of the city and if the affair fails it ie merely an emphatic assertion that what the people didn’t want they aren’t going to have.

DISLIKE CZAR’S RUSSIAN CZAR’S MANIFESTO MANIFESTO OF . SMALL MOMENT. SO SAY EXILES IN MICHIGAN Finland Hat Nothing to Hope for Under the. Present Form of imperial Government, So They Declare. ISHPEMING, Mich.. Aug. 29.-That the concessions to Finland griuited in the czar's recent manifesto, issued on the occasion of the birth of an heir to the throne, are of much Importance, is denied by prominent Finnish resi­ dents of this city. Here is how one exile states it: ’ •The Finns will gain very little. It is stated that the* emperor has grant­ ed amnesty to those who have left their country without authorisation. This is of small .moment. Compare ♦ lively few Finns return to Russian soil. It Is no easy matter to hunt these up and inflict punishment, while for the I rest, the manifesto does not state that they are freed fr(im military service. The amnesty simply means that they Will not have to suffer because they left the country. . "Remittance of the fines imposed upon rural.and urban communities be­ cause they have not complied with the new, illegal and unconstitutional law of conscription means something, of course, but in this instance, as In the former case, tremendous difficult!*? . .confronted the authorities in finding Suitable means by which these fines could be collected. In fact, collections were practically impossible. Thus, in view of these obstacles, It was a fine opportunity to appear noble and graci­ ous and remit what the government has not the slightest right to nor could not take. "The greatest wrongs have not been removed. We d<> not hear of restor­ ing the constitution. But then this could hardly be -expected under pres­ ent circumstances. If the czar had the slightest inclination to deal Justly with Finland, he ought to revoke the unlimited power granted the governor­ general, by which every subject is to­ tally at the mercy of this official. He ought to restore to Finnish subjects the right to hear and answer charges made against them. As It Is now. any­ body can be deprived of his right to transact lawful business, and can bo deprived even of his liberty, without trial by Judge or jury. . "The manifesto indicates that the program for the russification of Finland will in no particular respect be changed. The emperor has In this and many other instances clearly manifested that Finland has nothing to hope for under the present form of government in Buraia.” DO YOU GET UP WITH A LAME BACK? Kidney Trouble Makes You Miserable. Almost everybody who reads the news­ papers is sure to know of the wonderful cures made by Dr. h Kilmer’s Swamp| Root, the great kid|k ney, liver and blad■e der remedy.

Tom rubbed his sticky eyelids and shook his head violently in a Spartan effort to rouse himself, but what more effectively performed the task for him were certain sounds that Issued from Harkless’ room across the hall. For some minutes Meredith had been dully conscious of a rustle and stir In the invalid's chamber, and he began to realize that no mere tossing upon a bed would account for a noise that reached him across a wide ball and through two closed doors of thick wal­ nut Suddenly he heard a quick, heavy tread, shod.

He rushed across the hall In his pajamas and threw o[>en the unlocked door. The bed was disarranged and va­ cant Harklesjs, fully dressed, waa standing in the middle of the floor hurling garments at a small trunk. The horrified Meredith stobd for a sec­ ond bleached and speechless; then he rushwl uixm his friend and seized him with both hands. "Mad, by heaven! Mad."’ "Let go of me, Tom!” "Lunatic! Lunatic!” “Don’t stop me one Instant!’ k^eredlth tried to force him toward the bed. “No; get back to bed. You're delirious, boy!” "Delirious nothing! I’m a well man." "Go to bed!

It’s more than a mile to the station, and tbe train ’eaves here at V:Q2. I get there at 10:47. Telephone a cab for me, please, or tell me the number. I don’t want to stop to hunt it up.” Meredith looked him In the eyes. In the pupils of Harkless flared a fierce light His cheeks were reddened with an angry, healthy glow, and bls teeth were clinched till the line of his jaw stood out like that of' an embattled athlete. His brow was dark, his chest was thrown out, hnd he took deep, quick breaths. His shoulders were squared, and in spite of bls thinness they looked massy. Lethargy or ma­ laria, or both—whatever his ailment— It was gone. He was six feet of hot wrath and cold resolution. Tom said, "You are going?” "Yes,” be answered quietly, “I am going" "Then I will go with.you.” •Thank yout Tom,” said Harkless simply. Meredith ran Into his room, pressed an electric button^nd began to dive Into his clothes wWb a panting rapidity astonishingly foreign to his desire. The colored man appeared In the doorway. •The cart, Jim!” shouted his master. “We want it like lightning. Tell tbe cook to give Mr. Harkless his breakfast in a burry. Set a cup of coffee on the table by the front door for me. Run! We’ve got to catch a train. That will be quicker than any cab,” he explained to Harkless. ‘We’ll break the ordlnance against fast driving getting down there.” Ten minutes later the cart swept away from the house at a gait that pained the respectable neighborhood. The big horse plunged through the air, his ears laid flat toward bis tall The cart careened sickeningly, and the face of the servant clutching at the rail in the rear was smeared with pallor as they pirouetted around curves on occ wheel. To him it seemed they skirted the corners and death simultaneously, and the speed of their going made n strong wind in their faces. Harklera leaned forward. “Can you EXPERT ROAD BUILDER A. J.

Taxpayers will be generally interest­ ed in the announcement from Lansing to the effect that the state levy this fall will be much Jess than last year. It is always the case in years when the legis­ lature does not meet that the state levy is less. This year It is stated it will be >1,0^4,228.71 less than a year ago, when >4,003,024.82 was raised. The rate this year is estimated to be 81.86 per 81XMJ0 of valuation, as compared with 82.53 last year.

His aim will be to serve all the people in the very best possible manner, and in doing this he will give his best effort. There may be a mistaken idea in the minds of some as to what free county delivery means. It does not follow that mail will be delivered to everyone’s front door, nor even to everyone’s house. The department considers that everyone is served with free delivery who lives within a half a mile of a rural route by road. In se­ curing rural free delivery Barry County is indebted to Congressman Hamilton’s efforts, as this county was favored In preference to other counties In the dis trict. More and more does it become manifest that “it pays to keep a good Congressman in office.” Mr. Hamilton Is one of the leaders in Congress and this District is very fortunate to be rep resented by one bo capable as he.

The advent of the few small baskets In the markets off the larger cities, or their presence noted on the platform, at a wayside railway station or on a stehmboat dock. Is the signal awaited. Immediately the general ad­ vance on the orchards begins. Soon the towns fn the vicinity of the orchards or those that are a shipping point for the fruit are alive with men nnu boys seeking employment. The roods through the fruit belt are dusty with the crowds of men asking for employment.

There are many men, young women and boys hurring dally to the fruit country who are taking a few weeks spent In the healthful environment pt the fields and orchards that are strewn along lake-washed borders of the western counties of Michigan as a re­ spite from the confining life in the of­ fices, stores and factories of great cities.

They come for the gond they derive from an out-of-doors’ life for several weeks and the wages they receive while working are sufficient to more than pay their expenses for the time they are absent from the city and their regular employment.

In 1888, Vermont at the September election gave 27,000 republican majori­ ty, and Hrralson was elected to the presidency*in November. In 1802 the republlc^ns.ma]ority was but 18,000 in September, and Grover Cleveland was elected in November. In 1806, the September plurality was over 28,000 and McKinley was elected that year.

Just why the Detroit dailies and the Weekly papers which follow their ex­ ample should unite in insisting that Fred M. Warner, the Republican candi­ date for governor, is an enemy of pri­ mary reform is just a trifle more than ‘the ordinary clear minded man is able to comprehend all at one time. Mr. Warner’s attitude in the matter of primary reform is not a doubtful one in apy way whatever. He has clearly fend concisely stated his position by say­ ing that he was in favor of primary re­ form and would sign any primary re­ form bill which the next legislature Should sad lit to enact. ‘Me. Warner, however, is conservative. Fie does not believe in going to the lengths advocated by some aud he also believes that any primary reform bill to be successful should be made to tit ^he requirements of different local con­ ’d itious. But whatever law the legisla­ ture acting for the people of the State X)f Michigan may see tit to enact that Aaw Mr. Warner has pledged himself to to be expected next November? For on Tuesday the republican majority was over 31,000, the largest ever given in Vermont. The same day Arkansas had a state election. Of course It v^nt democrat­ ic, but the democratic majority was the smallest in 30 years, and several hereto­ fore democratic counties went republi­ can for the’firat time in their history. Nothing but over confidence of re­ publicans will prevent Roosevelt hav­ ing the largest popular majority ever given a president. Insanity and the Strenuous Life. The fact that the Kalamazoo asylum is crowded to its fullest extent and that arrangements are being made to erect an additional building ought to furnish some food for reflection. Of course the growth in population throughout the state is in a degree res­ ponsible, but does not to any extent keep pace with the insanity cases. Ac­ cordingly some other cause must be assigned and to our mind it seems that more than anything else, the reason for this abnormal and alarming increase lies in our much vaunted and widely heralded “Strenuous life.” The existence of this strenuous life is a fact and needs no proof of its ex­ istence. In it one reads the story of modern progress and advance. By it the United States has attained her en­ viable position of commercial super­ macy and the ‘‘American Invasion'/ has become a reality. But like every­ thing else, the strenuous life has its darker side. Like every other great fact of natural life it has its victims and these are the men and women who are crowding>ur asylums today. We are not seeking to decry tbe advantages of the strenuous life we owe t too much for that. We are merely calling attention to the fact that a lit­ tle prudence exercised In respect to it might not be at all bad. Like every­ thing else the strenuous life should be taken in measure and the measure should be suited to tbe man. The man who imbibes too freely of the strenuous life Is in grave danger of mental drunk eness and that kind of drunkeness spells madness. Tbe republican state convention at Saginaw yesterday nominated for just­ ices of tbe supreme court tbe follow­ ing: Russell C. Ostrander, of Lansing; Charles A. Blair, of Jackson; and Aaron V. McAlvay, of Manistee. They are all good men and deserve to be elected.

There is talk of organizing now for a flrsticlass base ball nine for next year. Th«r advantage of doing this now Is be­ cause of the interest in tbe matter at the present time. Mrs. Stella Grable and Dr. Arthur O. Miller, o^ Freeport, were married Wed­ nesday evening, September 1st, at the home of the bride’s sister, Mrs. Mae Powers on Green street, the ceremony being performed at eight o’clock by Rev. Duffy, of Freeport, before a few relatives and friends. Miss Jessie Rogers played the wedding march and the bridal couple were attended by her sister, Miss Belle Rogers and B. L. Kenyon, of Freeport. Tbe ceremony took place in tbe parlor, which was prettily decorated with asters and sweet peas. The dining room was in yellow, golden glow furnishing the decorations. Light refreshments were served, Mrs. I Wood catering. Some very choice and beautiful gifts were received. Dr. and Mrs. Miller left on the night train for a short trip and will be at home shortly at Freeport. Among those present from away were the groom’s sisters Misses Grace and Florence Miller, of Erie.

It is true love and noble, honorable in the highest degree to both. We do not mean merely a dutiful affectibn; we mean a love which makes a boy gallant and courteous to his mother, saying to everyone plainly that he is fairly in love with her. We never yet knew *a boy to “turn out” bad who began by falling in love with his mother. - :b It is a touching thought that those who grow up together Ui childhood, and sit at the same table and at the same fireside, may, in after life, be separated by seas and continents, or by the valley of death. This reflection should tend to make them affectionate and kind to one another so long as they are united under one roof. Lt is a pleasant sight to behold a family dwell­ ing together in unity aud gladness. Neither the poet or painter can describe a happier scene. One impatient member of the home circle is a wet blanket on the happiness of all. There is a sublime beauty in a patient life; iu a life content with the work that has fallen to it. From the leaves of the treee the impatient ones may find a beautiful lesson. They were not created this spring, but months ago, and the summer now upon us will fashion others for another year. ’ At the bottom of every leaf-stem is a cradle, and in it is an infant 'germ; and the wind will rock it, and the birds will sing to it all summer long, and next season it will unfold. So God’s work­ ing for you and carrying forward to the perfect development all the proceeses of your lives. Be patient. We wonder how many of the boys who read this column realize the ■ value of an education in cold dollars and cents, say nothing of many other advantages. Statistics show that the average salary of an educated man is •1,000 per year. He works on an aver­ age forty years and receives a total of •40,000. The average wages of an un­ educated man is 81.50 per day and works 300 days in the year so in forty years he earns 818,000. The educated man gets 340.000 and the uneducated •18,000 and the 822,000 difference is the true value of the education. To acquire a good education takes about twelve years of the early life of a boy and they are the happiest years of his lire. In twelve years there are 2,160 school days and these days bring tdXhe boys who improve them 822,000 or a little more than 810 per day for each day spent in school. Now boys for each day you miss school just charge yourself up with 310 lost. These are cold facts gathered from statistics. . Never forget that God does not look eo much on what we do as what made us do it. When a host of uncongenial things confront our daily lives and the burdens seem greater than we can bear, there comes too often the cross look, the unkind word, but let us remember that beyond the clouds of sorrow and disappointment the sun is still shining. God is familiar with the burdens inci­ dent to our lives and if back of the cross word and forgotten duty there lies the earnest endeavor to be patient in the future, lhe unkindness which cast its shadow on our lives wiil vanish as a cloud Hooting in a summer sky. Let us never forget that a dutiful life will yield a richer harvest than a beau­ tiful one. OTB ANCESTORS. Somehow we do not feel any very high degree of respect for one of our way back ancestors. Reader, he is your ancestor as well as ours. We refer to •Id Father Adam. The great eager­ ness with which he laid all his troubles upon tbe wife of his bosom, reminds ut> of too many husbands in our own com­ munity. Whenever they look upon the wine when it is red until they see snakes in their boots, they invariably lay it to trouble at home, and, usually like Father Adam, to their wives. From the time that Adam and Eve ate fruit in tbe garden of Eden down to A. D. 1904, woman has been blamed for nearly all the troubles we have fallen heir to. This is not right or Just. Man, as a rule is not half so good as woman. The majority of men are not so good as tberr wives. Of coarse there are exceptions to this broad rule, but all will agree that womankina will average for better, "morally than men. It is more important for woman to be good than man. Tbe mother’s tnfiu •nee upon the child is greater than tbe father’s. Children inherit their moral qualities much more from their mothers upright citizen It is very important for him to have a good mother. The laad the better we make our country. tittle lower. .Tbe more angelic they ADDITIONAL PERSONAL temporal solution more than any other dare. They are tbe moulders of the true reprerentative character of tbe country more than any other. But for the constant infusion of good, healthy country blood, our cities would stagnate and die. It is upon the honest mother­ hood of^the towns and rural districts that the country must depend mainly for the true, sturdy citixenship that must-save us from the anarchical ten­ dencies and influences of our large centers of population. The modern conveniencies of rural free delivery of mail, rural telephones and interurban trolley railroads, are rapidly annihilat­ ing the old-time isolation of country life and rendering the social intercourse of farmers and their families one of the most delightful features of rural life. These modern conveniences are all edu­ cational in their character to a less of greater extent and they mean a more intelligent agricultural population for the future and a stronger guarantee of better social and economic conditions for all classes. We do not believe a stronger bulwark for the safety of American progress and liberty could be established than the practical education of American farmers. REAL ESTATE TRANSFERS. WARRANTY DEEDS.

Freeport people are elated over the fact that the Pere Marquette railway company is contemplating the erection of a new station in that village. It will probably be built on tbe site of tbe old elevator east of the Parkhurst house. The time of complection will be some­ time in November. Otis Hopkins, for indulging in a noisy jag on the streets Saturday night, was finally run in by Deputy Sheriff Ort Lichty, and lodged in the county jail. Arraigned Monday morning before Justice M?W. Riker, he pleaded guilty to the charge of drunkeness. and was fined 810.75, including costs. The amount of money to be apportioned this year among the primary schools throughout the state will be considerably increased over that of other years. The per capita amount to be distributed in November will be 82.60. This is due to the increased tax­ ation upon all railroads in the state during the past year. Mr. W. H. Schantz, secretary of the Barry county Agricultural Society, has been nominated by the Republicans of his county to the State Legislature. If elected, the farmers of his county, and in fact the entire state will have gained a staunch friend in the Legislature to <11 things for the betterment of the farming Interests.—Lake Odessa Wave High Authority on the subject con­ tends that every farmer who desires to save his wheat crop from the ravages of the Hessian fly should dojhis utmost to protect the quail.^Jwhich are the natural enemy of thatfpest. Further it is claimed that thejfpurple martin is also very useful In destroying insect enemies of the farmers’ crops. It’is rec­ ommended that farmers build nesting places for the martins, and protect quail from the ravages [of hunters and provide shelter for them in the severe winters. The little birds will more than pay for this kindness by saving tbe farmers’ crops from the ravages of ' such pests as the Hessian fly.

In search of work, and tired of liv­ ,ing upon the charity of the people of the county, Chauncey Roe, aged 00 years, an inmate of the county poor bouse, recently wandered away arid nothing has since been seen of him. Roe came to the poor farm about a year ago, but when it wae found that be lived in Eaton county he was sent back again to the poor bouse there. Dissatisfied with the change, and lik­ ing beat to live with Superintendent Lichty, the old man somehow made bis way back to this county, and ar­ rangements were made for him to stay. A short time ago he told his comradM that be intended to go away to find work and be at onee disappeved. Though the country about the pnw farm and the river were carefully SEPTErtBER WEDDING Mr. William M. Stebbins aad Miss Mabel C. Colgrove Married Last Evening. Large Reception Held. The Banner regrets exceedingly that lack of space forbids an extended mention of the marriage of Mr. William Marcus Stebbins to Mies Mabel C. Colgrove, which took place last evening; also of the reception given after the ceremony at the home of Mr. and Mrs. P. T. Colgrove. We can on!? give a brief account of the affair in inis issue, but we have arranged for a full des­ cription which will appear in our next issue. The^ceremony was performed at half past seven by the Rev. FortesqueGardner.rector of Grace church, Grand Rap­ ids , Mrs. Katherine Burral Keats played the wedding march, and Mrs. Frank Hams sang a solo durjng the impressive ring service. The bride was dressed in white chif­ fon elaborately trimmed with lace. The veil was of white tulle. She carried white roses. Miss Louise Packard, of Charlotte, the maib of honor, was dressed in pink chiffon. There were four bridesmaids, Miss Gertrude Smith, Miss Amelia Goodyear, of Hastings, and Miss Bessie Rhue and Miss Julia Spaulding, of Charlotte, all wearing gowns of white point d’esprit, white chiffon hats, and carrying pink chiffon muffs, the gifts of the bride. Fred Stebbins, cousin of the groom, was best man. The ushers were Mr. George Lowry, Mr. Edward Goodyear, Mr. Lawrence Colgrove, Mr. William Good year, all dressed in cadet uniforms. The reception afterwards held at the home of Mr. and Mrs. P. T. Col­ grove was very largely attended. The guests were received by Mr. and Mrs. Colgrove and by Mr. and Mrs. M. S. Stebbtos, and were introduced by Mr. and Mrs. G. F. Chidester and Mr. and Mrs. L. J. Goodyear. The dining room was in charge of,Mrs. T.J. Bush and Mrs. J. F. Goodyear. Troxell’s orchestra furnished the music. Later in the evening a dance was given for the wedding guests in the K. of P. armory. The young couple certainly start out ityjjejunder very happy circumstances, in a floe new^home, and with every manifestipu of friendly interest in their welfare. We wish them a happy journey through life, and hope prosperity may come to them in abundant measure. The young couple have left for a trip which will last a fortnight, intending to spend a week in Chicago. From' there they will go by boat to Manistee to visit the groom’s sister, Mrs. IL T. F. Dodds. WHOLE NO. 2561 (HI CARRIERS examination meld Saturday AT HIGH SCHOOL ROOM Strict Civil Service Rules Governing the Examination. Peter Newton, of Chicago, Secretary of the 7th U. S. Civil Service District, with headquarters in Chicago, was in this city Saturday to conduct the ex amination for city carriers of those who had applied for the two positions. Forty-five had made application in proper form, but of these only 21 put in appearance for examination, which began at 8 a. m., and was concluded at 1 p. m. Each applicant was given a number, by which his papers were to be desig­ nated. The examination of the papers will be made by those who do not know the names of their authors, and they will be marked on their merits solely. When those who stand the highest are ascertained by number, then the names corresponding to the numbers will be looked up and forwarded to the Civil Service Commission, at Wash­ ington. That Commission will select the two who passed the besjexamina tion as carriers, and the next two as substitute carriers. The local postmaster will have' no­ thing to do with the naming of the carriers, the whole matter being in charge of the civil service authorities. The applicants were examined on six subjects, sets of questions being pre­ pared for the occasion by the Commis­ sion. There can be no doubt of the fact that the examination was conducted on, an absolutely impartial basis, and that no favoritism could be shown nor the politics of the applicants considered. BUSY FACTORIES All Those in Hastings Have Plenty to Do. CURRENT COMMENT. A Mr. Warner’s Way, It is noticeable that the men most pronounced and bitter in their [opposi­ tion to Fred M. Warner’s candidacy for governor do not attack Mr. War­ ner’s character nor question the capa­ ble manner in which he discharges hie public duties as state senator and sec­ retary of state. They turned on the searchlights and found nothing to con­ demn. Mr. Warner makes mistakes as all men do. but his career is notably clean and clea^ from anything indicat­ ing incapacity or mean methods. Reformers can be fair without being unfaithful to any principal worth fight­ ing for. Those disagreeing *with Mr. Warner upon some points of public policy frankly admit that his record is good. As a business man he has been honorable in his dealings, a hard worker, a farmer who put his own hands to the plow as well as those h& employed.. At Lansing he has been al­ ways the courteous public offleal, ac­ cessible and obliging, and the adminis­ tration of his office has teen without blot or blemish. These are facts not bubbles. But in nothing has he shown greater wisdom than in his attitude toward political foes. He has not returned abuse for abuse, bor stooped to bandy epithets with his‘detractors, nor hurled invectives at those who pelted him with hints and insinuations. He has gone quietly and courteous about hia business, saying but little and making friends. The little be has said haa been sensible and to the point He does not size up as a man who could be easily manipulated nor warped by any­ body, nor is he of the material from which pliant took are made.. Mr. Fer­ ris never proved his talks by actual service in public offee, but Mr. Warner has. Mr. Warner’s way is a letter of credit to him and a rebuke to many who oppose him—Grand liapids Her­ ald. Lansing Republican: After paying high tribute to Fred M. AVamer’a character and ability, the Detroit Free Press says that‘he ought to be defeated “because of the men who are back of him.” It should oppose Woodbridge N. Ferris for the same reason, unless, as may be ti$e case, it prefers a ezar to. what it terms a “machine." Dees the Free Press suppose for one minute that in the event of Candidate Ferris’ election Czar Campau will retire grace­ fully into the background and let Mr. Ferris be governor as be sees fit?

Mich., Sept. 12,-Persons who are thrown, out of work ou ac­ count of labor troubles and other causes will be interested in the result of tliu efforts of hundreds of city and other people in raising potatoes in Michigan. The man who last wintec hud a wugonload of Irish' Lemons had a gold mine on wheels. In the little town of Onekama, at the head of the Portage harbor or refuge, is a sturdy German-American store­ keeper, named Byron Burmeister. Last season Burmeister bought and sold 70,(100 bpshels of potatoes. He says that one man, C. B. Burton/ brought to his store a single wagonload jof pota­ toes on which he realised in cleah cash $70.70. Another man brought in it single load of beaus Hint brought $121.20. Burmeister has upwards of a dozen potato buying stations. In con­ necting them up with his store in One­ kama he uses seven telephones. Ota* telephone connects his office with the railway depot and telegraph office, and ■is kept busy getting al! the rates and market quotations. In his store he has three large ventilator bins, holding 3.000 bushels of. potatoes. - Private Railroads For Crops. This merchant owns his own side­ tracks io his warehouses, fruit houses, and icehouses And. he is said to have the largest general store under one roof of any town of its size In the lower peninsula. So much for this one potato buyer. He is but one of an army, whose business it is to find a market for a crop that now grows on land which a. few years ago was covered with stumpy, fire blackened tree trunks and underbrush. In the same great potato field two Manistee men Own a railway system 163 miles long. It is owned entirely by Edward Buckley and William Douglass, and it Is said to be the longest rail­ way In tbe world not owned by a stock company or corporation. Along 70 I’rilles of this line the road has Increased its potato shipments from 50 to 800 carloads within the last few years. Young men who for yftirs worked in the large cities for a mere pittance are now making money raising potatoes in this Michigan ”aut over” district. In order to show what could be done in utilizing the soil from which tim­ ber has been cut. the railway people established an experimental farm near Manistee. There are about 2,000 acres, and on it were set out 10.000 small fruit trees. There is a great variety, the crops have been good, and in con­ sequence the company is considerably ahead In the venture. The same road that is bossed en­ tirely by a pair of merchants of Man­ istee, has a sawmill that cuts 50.000.000 feet of lumber a year, and a salt block that produces 2,500 barrels of salt a day. Five and a half acres of land Is included in this salt block. The road has a passenger equipment that ranks with any road in northern Michigan. It has 10 locomotives, and six trainloads of logs are handled dally. The earn­ ing; <?t this two ipan lumber cutting, salt malting, potato planting railroad was 7 per cent on its capital last year. The passenger trains paid a pro­ fit from the first trip. Railroad! Aiding Settlement. * The movement to Induce people to get out of the crowded elites to engage in producing a variety of crops in this region has taken an unusual shape. The roads that reach the upj>erf end of the lower peninsula Khv« banded them­ selves into an association that has for Its object the settlement of the region. Up to this time two large settlements hqve been established, one at Kolvea and the other at. Brethren. This former is a Finnish settlement and the peo­ ple of this nationality in America have already established at this little town the publication office of the entire na­ tionality In this country. It was moved from Brooklyn, N. Y., to Michigan. The other settlement is made up of Ger­ man Bqptlst brethren, and under the influence of their industrious habits the country is made to bloom and blos­ som. FATHER GIVEN MONEY. Charged With Shielding Assaulter of * His Daughter. NILES, Mich., Sept. 11—Fred Dunsen. 22 yearn of age. w arrested here on the charge of criminally assaulting the 11-year-old daughter of Fred Genau.T. Dunsen admitted having taken Improp­ er liberties with the glri. but dentes the more* serious charge. The alleged offense was said to have been committed about two weeks ago. and it is declared by the employes of the Garden City Fan company, where both Dunsen and the father of the girl ar? employed, that the latter knew of the affair but consented not to make any complaint In consideration of a sum of money paid him by Dunsm. In­ formation regarding the mae spread throughout the factory and the em­ ployes finally held an indignation meet­ ing, at which they decided to go on strike unless Dunsen was discharged. The management complied with their demand and yesterday the girl’s mother swore out the warrant for the young man’s arrest, the father taking no ac­ tion in the matter. Growers Not Discouraged By Chances Taken With Severe Winters, Flooods and Droughts. Acreage Increasing. ZEELAND, Mich.,. Sept. 12.—The sharp advance in the price of peppermint oil this season is having the effect of en­ couraging its cultivation, and another season will find many Ottawq farmers growing the plant. The soil required tea, grow the plant i? a very rich black muck similar to that for celery, but not needing the same amount of moisture or fertiliza­ tion, The seed is sown in drills the first year, but after the first planting no further seed sowing will be retjulred for several years, as the ground be­ comes matted with the underground sterns, from which a luxuriant growtn will be produced year after year in case the seasons nr? favoralde. A progressive,Ottawa county farmer who has taken an interest in the indus­ try recently visited tlie mint fields of Kalnmaz<»o county and learned some­ thing of the Ji'story of peppermint growing. Poor Seasons Bring High Prices. In an Interview with a prominent buy­ er he sized up the situation as fol­ lows ; ,, . , *. "A few days ago I could not _bu>. more than 10 pounds of oil at $3. <•» a pound -iri the neighborhood, where six years ago there were thousands of pounds for sale at'G5 cents. Now the growers are fewer; they deal more in­ telligently with the market, as they do with the crop, and instead of trying to sell the roots from which the plants are propagated, whenever opportunity offers they are inclined to keep the growing of peppermint within narrow limits. In this their success must be attributed not so much to choice as ne­ cessity. however, since the crops have fur five years steadily decreased. Severe winters haVe killed the roots, flood and frost have destroyed the plants in early spring, and drought in summer ha» stunted tne crop. For some time the farmers were skeptical as to the effect of th? crop failure on the market, and when the price of oil rose from 00 cents to 85 cents and $1.00. the rush to sell was such us to hold the price steady fur a. year. Since that time the repeated shortages In yield, to­ gether with an Increase In cost of pro­ duction amounting to nearly 100 per cent, have shoved up the price, until now most "t the oil in the growers’ hands is being held at $4.00. Of course, the next year will see a great Increase in the acreage, but th? fact that for four years the crop has been insufficient to supply the normal demand, points to a continuation of high prices. Meanwhile, with the cost twice and the market value five times what it was six years ago. the grower who secures a crop is bowling along the highroad of prosperity.” First Gardens In England. t.

He has come out squarely in favor of a reasonable primary measure, and what is more has declared that be will sign any primary election law that the next legislature may pass. Therefore the remedy is to see to it that the members of the legh lature are elected who will enact a reasonable primary election law.

It is a hopeful condition when the people are keenly responsive to de­ mands for the correction of any abuses tn public affairs^r the safe guarding of rights and duties. Peril to our in­ stitutions is near when such demands can be treated lightly. The republican pai ty never does so treat them. It may not always move fast enough to satisfy the eager spirits of some of us, but it always moves, and moves in the right direction, and moves with tbe care and wisdom that never leave necessity for retreat It will do so in tbe matter which occupies first place of interest in discussion of the present Michigan campaign, the nomination of candi­ dates by direct primary vote. Some of us think that plan should be apopled at once, for all offices, and are confident of its value to cure evils which self­ interest on the one hand and popular indifference on the other sometimes develop. Others of us are not so per­ suaded of its value as a specific, nor so assured of its freedom from undesir­ able consequences of its own, and ■would proceed more cautiously in ex­ perimenting with a change of method ■kO radical. So we differ in theory of procedure toward a common aim, the attainment of the best conditions and tbe greatest security against possible abuses in selecting candidates for public office. As republicans we are members of one family, having com­ mon interests and mutual aims; and the consensus of our differing views as to method of attaining those will surely be the wise and safe conclusion on which we shall all finally agree. It has •been so in the past. When as citizens of a common country we differ upon •questions of public policy, and we canBot fully or immediately establish the theories that appeal to us, we do not ^therefore abandon our country and for­ swear our allegiance. The Waldorf Aston may. but we know that nowhere else may conditions so good be found. Just so we as republicans know that -in no other party can we find any such Stope of attainment of our best ideals in government; and when we have some­ times sought to do that, and have belp•ed the democracy into power In hope ■of such ends, the results have always been disastrous. We have proved that true in both state and nation, and we are not now-going to repeat it in either. Had tbe last legislature of Michigan done its duty, there would now be on tbe statute books of Michigan a reason able, primary election law, and then tbe people of Michigan could have been In 1896 the democratic party assured the country that republican policies and republican successes meant financial depression, and less money in circula­ tion. Since that prediction was solemn­ ly made by the democracy, this country has experienced the best times In its history, and according to the June 1904 U.S. Statistical Abstract just issued, the money then in actual circulation in this country was 82,521,151,527, or 830.­ 80 per capita. This was an increase of 81,40 in the last year and about 812.08 in the last 8 years. It will not pay to listen to democracy’s tales of woe this year, when it has an unbroken record of false prophecies of disaster which it claimed would result from republican success. ’ “Let well enough alone” is certainly advisable under all conditions. It is especially true in our own national affairs. Tbe country cis prosperous and the people are prosperous under the wise policies of the republican party. A change would be very foolish from the conditions that have been ob­ tained in this country since McKinley was first elected to the presidency. that hi» friend Bred M • Win*, sumlng that they are the only Simon only to receive » bullet dlreetly pure primary reformers.

COOK SRO5.. PltOPRItTORJ. Thuraday, Sept., 15 1904 A Demand for Change. The Democratic candidate for Vice^tangible Democratic issue of ttfis cam­ paign. It is a demand for a political change, that the Democratic party shall again have the administration of public affairs because industrial condi­ tions are not satisfactory.”^ We have heard this Democratic lament over industrial cdnditlons be­ fore. It was a loud and long com­ plaint in 1892, at a time when all writers on political economy and all compari­ sons with previous periods agreed was the most prosperous era in the United States up to that time. Business was good, work was plenty, wages were high­ er than ever before. But the Democratic party complained of high prices and de­ manded a change. They won that election. They received from the ma­ jority of voters a warrant to proceed with their change in the economic policy of dhe Government. The change came immediately after election. Capi­ tal sat down to wait for the change and labor was compelled to wait for its wages and the means of living. There were more than 3,000,000 men thrown out of work and public relief was the most conspicuous institution in every great city in the land. * There were soup kitchens and Coxey armies, not made up of hoboes, but of loyal, earnest atid humiliated workingmen who had been independent and self-respecting, but who had been driven to the direst want by the Democratic threat of a change. The expenditures of the Government were greater than the receipts for every year of the Democratic Administration. Bonds were issued for more than a hundred millions to meet the current expenses of the Government. The in­ terest-bearing debt was increased, at a time when the people were least able to have such an increase. The reign of cheap prices did come with Cleveland’s election and the cheap­ est commodity in the country was labor. Men who had labor to sell could not find a market. The farmer found that he could not sell his crops and his horses, cattle, sheep and hogs, for what it cost him to produce them. He had to give a mortgage on tbe farm to pay his debts. That Democratic change in 1892 cost the American people more money in losses than any change Shat had ever been made in the economic policy of the Government. And in 1896 there was a universal demand for an­ other change, any kind of a change to s get away from the free-trade policy of the Cleveland Administration. The JJemocrats were even louder in their complaint than were the Republicans. The Democratic convention repudiated Cleveland and his administration, and with wild frenzy followed William J. Bryan in a demand for a free-silver policy that would create more money. There were no friends anywhere for the men responsible for the change in 1892. The memories of the people are often short especially in time of prosperity. But we doubt if the American people have forgotten the results of the laat political change they ordered, wheh other Democrats voiced the Democratic demand just as Mr. Davis did in his speech of acceptance. » A Hunt For Office. "Boiled down to its real essence, sif­ ted to its real meaning, the Democratic campaign of 1904 is a mere unscrup­ ulous hunt for oflice.” The above is merely an excerpt and a very brief ex­ cerpt, from the speech of Thomas R. Watson of Georgia delivered at Cooper Union fn New York recently when he received the formal notification of his nomination for President on the People’s party ticket. Mr. Watson is known everywhere as a vigorous writer anda forceful speaker but it is doubt­ ful if he ever hit the nail more square­ ly on the head. His statement will ap­ peal to every right thinking man. Every principle for which the party has stood during the past few years having been thrown to the wind and with a presidential candidate wbo owes his nomination and political advance­ ment to the trust and money power, the Democratic party can no longer stand as a party of principle. It has long ago sunk far below that level .and in its campaign this year it is merely aa Mr. Watson says—a party out for pelf and political plunder. Even Mr. Bryan himself seems tb be getting rapidly luto line and where a few months ago he at least ventured some little show of resistance be now puts a muzzle on his sentiments and trots«along beside Judge Parker’s char­ iot with eyes intent only upon the Senatorehip from Nebraska. It is indeed a sad sight to see the “Peerless Leader” Sius muzzled and restrained but it is no sadder than the condition of the party aa a whole. Office and not prin­ ciple seems to be the sole cry of the Democratic party for 1904. A New Jersey Editor’s Testimonial M. T. Lynch. Editor of the Ptrilipeburst, N. J.

It is seldom indeed that anyone avails themselves of this offer, proving con­ clusively the most invariably good re­ sults that follow the use of this scientitic treatment for stomach trouble. A 50c box of Mi-o-na contains two weeks treatment and benefit will be seen from almost the first dose. The guarantee means that if Mi-o-na does not give complete satisfaction the full price paid will be refunded wheu the empty boxes are returned, and CoVeft two boxes. There is no other medicine that will compare with Mi-o-na for relieving stomach trouble. Pain and discomfort after eating, dizziness, specks before the eyes, gas and fermentation, in fact, all forms of indigestion are quickly re­ lieved and permanently cured by Mi-ona. It increases the vitality, soothes and heals any internal inflammation and gives tone and strength to the whole system. . Begin the use of Mi-o-na today and see how easily and quickly stomach troubles may becured, if the right rem­ edy is used. Nashville. Born to Mr. and Mrs. Earl Town­ send Sept, 6th a son.

CARLOADS OF MERCHANDISE. Boat Companies Disagree and New Warehouse Is Erected. PENTWATER. Mich., Sept. 18--Because of a transportation entangle­ ment at Pentwater, the growing steam­ boat business of this place is now di­ vided between two wharves. Early in the season a wharf belonging to F. W. Fincher was leased for a lauding place for the steamers Liberty and R. J. Gordon. The Liberty was unable to make Pentwater on account of the dis­ tance, so discontinued Its use of the wharf. Then the wharf was leased again, the second time to the, North­ ern Michigan Transportation company, the steamer Gordon, however, contin­ uing in use of the landing. Recently a disagreement has arisen over permitting of additional privileges to the steamer J. S. Crouse of the Pentwater-Milwaukee line, bo both the Course and the Gordon have gone over north of the village pumping station to a wharf which has been purchased of the Pentwater Land Improvement company. A temporary warehouse has been erected which is next year to be replaced by a large new one and more piles will be driven. Dayton Firm Sells to Farmers Near Fennville. FENNVILLE. Mich.. .• Dayton.

From his cop) library across the hull he could see Abby, with the strong light peldng In over her at the worst possible angle. He could also boar most of Mrs. Gardener’s re­ marks, for. as that matter of fact ma­ tron said, six? was so used to her Uterarj' boarder she didn’t mind him about the house any more than a cat "NotMxly’d expect you’d get a posi­ tion that took any kind of brains like Trix’s and Mab’s," Mrs. Gardener's energetic voice proclaimed, "but a lit­ tle old district school like that! I don’t hardly see bow you could have helped getting it if you tried to.” “My dates go wrong,” confessed Ab­ by meekly. "The committee said that, according to my information, tbe Dec­ laration of Independence must have been signed several years before Amer­ ica was discovered.” “Well, ’tain’t any use to say any­ thing more. If a body ain’t got a brain you can’t give ’em one! You bet­ ter gather up your duds and put 'em away. And I don’t know as It’s worth while to hunt another place for you. I reckon you was cut out for a fail­ ure." Mrs. Gardener settled back into a displeased silence rather more deprening than her previous harangue bad been. Abby arose with a patient sigh, gathered up her hat, gloves and para­ sol and trailed limply away. Roger Sterling looked after her wlttk more pity and less amusement than "BRING THAT HOT WATER COME QUICK.’’ she usually excited In bis mind. He was accustomed to taking Abby. with her awkwardness and angles and her perennial and futile search for posi­ tions, as something of a joke or, at least, material for humorous short stories. Just now be was wondering if there were no angular, three corner­ ed niches into which such women could be made to fit. As for Abby, she went into her own room and sat down on a tall, straight ’chair, pondering. There was nothing for her to do about tbe house. Her mother was a hearty, capable woman, whose pride and boast it was that she chose to do all her own housework and allowed no assistance from her girls nr any one else. "If she would only let me stay quiet­ ly at home and help her," meditated .Abby, "I wouldn’t always feel so su­ perfluous and guilty. We-don’t need the money, and I’ll never get a posi­ tion In a century.

The petty meanness and dishonesty of it is In attaching to it an opprobrious mean­ ing, and everlastingly ringing the changes upon it as some superfluous development,-abnormal and wicked. The Detroit Evening News which commended Fred M. Warner as state senator declaring that he was independ­ ent, above the suspicion of corruption end even urging hia renomination as senator because of these qualities, is now pouring out a tirade of abuse against him. When we remember that Scripps of the News slandered Zachariah Chandler and that the News de­ nounced Alger, vilified Gov. Rich and Gov. Luce, and has always opposed republican gubernatorial candidates aud stabbed the republican party, its viliiflcation of Mr. Warner can be un­ derstood. But all this only reveals the indecency of the Scripps newspapers in politics. When Grover Cleveland was elected to the presidency in 1892, previous re­ publican administrations bad so re duoed the public debt that the annual interest thereon was but 823,000,000, Hut in a time of profound peace dur­ ing Cleveland’s administration, and v»’A^e democratic tariff-reform was gettii}£ In its deadly work, the public ADDITIONAL LOCAL.

Short addresses were made by J. C. Ketcham, W. W. Potter and Judge Smith, and a plan of campaign marked out. Tbe tenor of the remarks and the sentiment expressed was that the party has reason to be satisfied with the excellent nomi nations made for national, state and county officers and that they were en- 1 titled.to the support and best efforts of . all republicans. Another meeting will be held in the same 'place tomorrow night, to which all are invited. Nelson A. Hicks, of Battle Creek, who visited at Dr. 1). E.

He served through two ware, the Mexican and Civil war. He has been on tbe pay rolls of the Nichols & Shepherd Co., of Battle Creek, for 45 years. He painted the first threshing machine that company ever manufactured, and also the last one they made before he came over to Hastings. He throughly enjoys life, and his optimism and good humor are contagious. If you wish to be sure of securing reliable clothing for the boys, make selections from our new fall stock.

Flood Tide will be seen at Reed’s Opera House next Monday evening. A new play by prominent American writers, dealing with a distinctly American subject, will be produced in this city. “Flood Tide", was written by Edward Weitzel and Emma Louise Orcutt, and is a play to be admired, re­ spected and welcomed by lovers of all that is good in the drama. While simple aud unaffected, it is a play of positive and many merits. The sentiment is neverover done or mawkish while the humor is spontaneous and partakes of the qualities and characteristics of the persons in the play. “Flood Tide", tells a story of the love and struggles of a family of coast-of-Maine fisher­ folk, whose hazardous occupation and sturdy manhood is vividly portrayed during the action of the play. Com­ bined with the intense dramatic aitua tions, the authors have carefully stud­ ied the comedy side of these simple people and have truthfully portrayed jhetr humorous, whimsical character. The scenery for “Flood Tide is an actu­ al reproduction of the locality ’in ----* which the action takes place and is massive and effective. Hastings MafMats.

Hastings, Mich. TIME AND TIDE Wait for no Man Robert Haynes, one of the old resi dents and leading citizens of Baltimore died Monday morning, aged 73 years. He had for some time been a sufferer from disease of the kidneys, and about three years ago a cancer developed under his right eye. Tuesday of last week Dr. Lowrey removed the cancer, but Mr. Haynes could not rally. The immediate cause of his death was an acute attack of Bright’s disease of the kidneys, resulting from the effects of the ehloraform administered at the time of the operation. Mr. C. U. Edmunds? of Baltimore attended a meeting of the association of breeders of improved black top de laine sheep at Quincy Wednesday of last week, where he read a paper on “Is the present tariff schedule oh sorted and skirted fleeces beneficial to the sheep grower?” There was a large at­ tendance and an Interesting session.

COOK BRO S.. PROPRItTOkJ. Thursday, Sept., 29 1904 r---- ---- ----------------- The Gentleman from Indiana By BOOTH TtfWTON charged like a dishonest servant, tne man wbo bad thrown what (in Cartow eyes) was riches into his lap, the man wbo had made bis paper and wbo had made him and saved him. Harkless wanted to see young Fisbee as be long­ ed to see only one other person in the world. As the barouche drove up to the brick house he made out through the trees a retreative flutter of skirts on the porch, and the thought crossed his. mind that Minnie had flown indoors to give some final directions toward the preparation of the banquet But when the barouche halted at the gate he was adrprised to see ber waving to him from the steps, while Torn Meredith and Mr. Bence and Mr. Boawelt formed a little court around ber. Llge Willetts rode up on horseback at the same mo­ ment and tbe Judge was waiting in front of tbe -rate. Darkless stepped out of the barouche and took his band. ‘T was told young Fisbee was here.’’ "Young Fisbee Is here,” said the judge. Mr. Fisbee came around tbe corner of tbe house and went toward Harklesa "Fisbee,” cried tbe tatter, •‘whepe Is your nephew?’ Tbe old man took his band In both tils own and looked him between the eyes and thus stood while there was a long pause, the others watching them. “You must not say that 1 told you," he raid at last “Go into the garden.” But when Harkless’ step crunched the garden there was no one there. Asters were blooming in beds between the green rosebushes, and their many fingered hands were flung open in wide surprise that lie should expect to find young Fisbee there. It was just before sunset. Birds were gossiping in the sycamores on the bank. At the foot of the garden, near the creek, there were some tall hydrangea bushes, flower laden, and beyond them one broad •haft of sun smote tbe creek bends for a mile In that flat land and crossed the garden like a bright, taut drawn veil. Harkless passed tbe bushes and step­ ped out into this gold brilliance. Then he uttered a cry and stopped. Helen was standing beside tbe hydrangeas with both hands pressed to ber face and her eyes cast on the ground. She had run away as far as she could run. There were high fences extending down to the creek on each side, and the water was beyond. _ r 1 "Your’ he raid. “You! You!" Sbe did not' lift ber eyes, but began to move away from him with little backward steps. When she reached the bench on the bank she spoke with a quick intake of breath and in a voice be almost failed to hear, the merest whisper, and her words came so slow­ ly that sometimes minutes separated them. 'Can you—will you keep me—on the Herald?" "Keep you"— He came near ber. “I don’t under­ stand. Is It you—you—who are here •gain?” "Have you forgiven me? You know —now—why I wouldn’t resign? You forgive my—that telegram?" “What telegram?" “The one that came to you—thia raornlng." “Your telegram?” “Yes.” “Did you send me one?* ‘W “It did not come to me.* “Ye»—it did." “But—w bat was It about?* “It was signed," she said; “It was signed”— Sbe paused and turned ha’f away, not lifting tbe downcast lashes. Her hand, resting upon the back of the bench, Was shaking. She put it behind her. Then her eyes were lifted a little, ^and, though they did not meet his, he raw them, and n glory sprang Into be­ ing in his heart. Her voice fell still tower, and two heavy tears rolled down ber cheeks. "It was signed,’’ sbe whis­ pered, "it was signed—‘H. Fisbee.’ ” He hP^an.-to tremble from bead to WORSE EVERY YEAR.

Mich., Oct. 3.-A tale told by George Mast, a fisherman of this city, to Chief of Police Sauerbier today has thrown additional light upon a mystery growing out of the disap­ pearance of an unknown man and woman from this port September 19 and the finding of a woman’s body near South Haven about 10 days ago. Dis­ closure* made by Mast, the police say, leave no doubt that a dastardly crime was committed and that a murder' plot was most carefully laid. Mast tells the following story: “I was fishing about a quarter of a mile out from the mouth of the harbor Septesnber 19. An open naptha launch containing two men passed dose to my boat. They had a row boat in tow. I saw that It was from one of the local liveries. Just as the launch came abreast I heard one of the men nay. ’Where do you want me to land her.’ referring to the open boat. 'Just above the pumping station.’ was the answer. I saw them go up the south shore In that direction and pull the boat upon shore.” Detectives make the following de­ duction from the man’s story: The woman was taken oup In the row boat from this city and probably murdered. The launch, containing a confederate, met the row boat and the lifeless body of the woman was towed north several miles, and tbe boat brought back, put on shore south to elude the officers and allow the escape of the occupant. The boat rented to the missing man and woman was the one seen by Mast in tow of the launch. LIQUOR TO 4-YEAR OLD CHILD. Lake Odessa Barkeeper Alleged to Have Sold It. ( 'HARLES RUSSELL, M. D.

Hitz, a real estate dealer and agent for the Hartford In­ surance company of Chicago for record a deed for an entire township in this County. So far a* the investigations have been carried up to this time, Hitz seems to have paid $100,000 for the land to a man who has never owned an acre of land In the county, and upon a fraudu­ lent abstract of unusually clever work­ manship. The land In question comprises 23.040 acres, an entire township, most of which is forest. It Is owned by many different parties, including several dif­ ferent Iron and railway companies. John J. Redicho, who gave the deed to Hitz, is unknown here. The abstract is a masterpiece. It pur­ ports to give the history of the land'* ownership since 1879, and is a fabric of tissues. Even the name of the ab­ stractor is a fake, he being located at Creighton, which is only a water tank on a railroad, located in the center of a big swamp, 21 miles from here and with no inhabitants. . The county authorities have started an investigation of the case, which looks like a magnificent swindle. HORSE AND BUGGY STOLEN. Believed Jail Breaker Price Is Fleeing With Them. IONIA. Mich..

DETROIT. Mich.. Oct. 3.-Judge Swan of the United State* court ren­ dered a decision today In the matter of admitting an alleged contraband Chinaman to ball that wil probably establish a precedent in Michigan. The case In point is that of Moy On, ar­ rested In Woodmere and charged with violating the. exclusion laws. Moy On was arraigned before Commissioner Chapin at Lansing and held to await trial. He demanded his release on bail, which the commissioner denied, and the matter was then carried to Judge Swan In the nature of an appeal. The court agreed to release Moy On on $500 ball, but declined to make a general order, confining himself to this partic­ ular case. It Is the genera! belief that commissioners will follow Judge Swan in similar cases. Judge r SHMDDED \ WAT SpActaKto The Grand Rapid* Herald. BATTLE CREEK. Mich..

The work was pushed for several weeks in Grand Rapids, leading up tft a big demonstration of students that was to be held in that city as an impressive spectacle to the on-looking state. When the evening of the demonstration arrived two lone students put in appearance. Evidently the wort of electing a democratic can­ didate for governor in Michigan-through the partisan use of students needs a good deal more pushing than it is like That is a very flattering position from which to appeal for votes, as the democrats do this year. It is in effect this: We''were wrong in 1896. We were wrong in 1900. We admit freely that we were wrong. Therefore, please turn down the party that was right, and give tbe conduct of the affairs of this nation over to tbe party which has been wrong.

Why can we not get rid of such rubbish? Tbe farmers like to go to the city and per­ haps have a friend showing him our fine city and boastingover it; but farm­ ers, how alxiut the city people?

Mr. Hooper has bee n a member of the board nearly two years, and he reports that its. business has increased at least 50 per cent during that interval. The state has profited, ns the revenue re­ ceived from applicants and other sources is much greater than the amount necessary to pay the salaries and expenses of the board members. There arc now nearly 5,000 registered barbers in Michigan. The increase since Mr. Hooper's appointment has been about 1,000, nearly one-half of which number has been added during the past year.

Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound. “Dear Mbs. Pinkham:—Life looks dark indeed when a woman feels that her strength^ fading away and she has no hopes of ever being restored. Such was my feeling a few months ago when I was advised that my poor health was caused by prolapsus or falling of the womb. The words sounded like a knell to me, 1 felt that my sun had set; but Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound came to me aa an elixir of life; it restored the lost forces and built me up until my good health returned to me. For four months I took the medicine • daily and each dose added health and strength. I am so thankful for the help I obtained through its .use.”—Mrs. Florence Danforth. 1007 Miles AveJ, St JosephTMich. A medicine that has restored so many women to health and can produce proof of the fact must be regarded with respect. This is the record of Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound, which cannot be equalled by any other medicine the world has ever pro* duced. Here is another case t — “ Dear Mrs. Pinkham :— For years I was troubled with falling of the womb, irregular and painful menstruation, leucorrboji^ bearing, down pains, backache, headache, dizzy and fainting spells, and stomach trouble. wM MI doctored for about five years but did s V 15?^ We not seem to improve.

It is free, and lias put thousands of women on th# right road to recovery. 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 in all her experience has she published such a letter without the full consent, and often by special request of the writer.

Such an outcome might easily re­ sult In fuming over congress to the Democrats in the middle of President Roosevelt’s administration, and prove a serious sct-back to the country's present satisfactory condition. Do the Republicans of Michigan de­ sire to become party to such a political condition? Roosevelt Republicans, the kind that are true blue and rock-rooted In natlonal affairs, as all these men are i whom the Democratic managers are endeavoring to persuade to help them gain control of Michigan by this "non­ partisan" trick, may well think twice before they fall In with their wishes by voting against the Republican can­ didate for governor and the legisla­ tive candidates. They certainly do not want the state gerrymandered for ten years to come by the D. J. Campau crowd. They certainly do not want to see D. J. Campau occupying a seat In the United States senate. They certainly do not want to see the most of our present strong delegation In congress swept out two years hence. If they do not, they should support Fred M. Warner, clean, honest, capable, without a flaw in his private and public character, and the legislative nominees. They should emulate Hon. Geo. B. Horton, master of the State grange, who de dares that the division of sentiment in the party upon the question of the best method of reforming the nominat­ ing system is not. so wide that It can­ not be bridged by a Republican legisla­ ture and a Republican governor. At any rate, they have opportunity to ponder the seriousness, in a party sense, of giving the state into political charge of the present Democratic or­ ganization. CASTOR IA For Infanta and Children.

Mrs. William Hockins had on exhibition a teapot and. creamer which have been in herfamlly' for 154 years. Apart from its age. the service has another value, as it was made from sparks cast from the anvil of a blacksmith. In some manner the artisan had gathered and made these bits of iron Into a homogeneous mass and molded or hammered it into the de». sired shape. The art. however, per­ ished with-the man that made the ar­ ticle. They were manufactured In England and have all the appearance of jet. but withstand fire reagUy. Al­ though they have been used many times they still retain the original bril­ liancy. Mrs. Hockins has records show­ ing the length of time they have been in the family. 00 RIGHT AT IT Friends and Neighbors in Hastingg .■•’Will Show You How. Get at the root of the trouble.

On what theory do the Detroit News and the Detroit Tribune assume to ad­ vise the republicans of Michigan as to their political duties? When have these two papers, which are so Indus­ triously vilHtying the republican can­ didate for governor, acquired the right to tell republicans how to vote and the republican party what it must do? If post hind-throwing at Zachariah Chan­ dler, General Alger, Governors Luce and Rich and other good republican candidates for office would give these Scripps sewer balsins the right to do these things they have the right un­ questionably. But If an honeet, straight­ forward, consistent course as a news­ paper, saying nothing of politics, is de­ manded to give the News and Tribune the right to instruct the republicans of Michigan on their political duties, then they have no such right, and under the Scripps management can never acquire it. ing Contest. From the Grand Rapids Evening Press we clip .he following item: A unique voting contest was held In Big Rapids, the home of Candidate Ferris under the auspices of the Presby­ terian church. The vote was taken for the favorite candidate for governor. After several days of voting, the polls were closed Wednesday evening. Warn­ er had received 248 votes and Ferris only 75. ProfaFerrls is popular in his home city. But with all that, it is evident that bis republican neighbors will not fall ovdr each other to vote for him. When the smoke of battle clears away, it will be discovered that Fred M. Warner is the governor-elect of Michi­ gan.'' All She Scripps league attacks and mud throwing will have availed nothing.

No wanner commendation was ever given to the public acts and purposes of any man than was given by the Detroit Evening News and the Detroit Tribune in referring to the legislative course of Fred M. Warner during the sessions of 1895 and 1897. On May 31. 1895. at the close of Mr. Warner’s first term as senator the News said of him: "While the term corporation will always be associated with the legisla­ ture of 1895, and deservedly, toof, it is only fair to say that t .cre was'a respectable minority in both houses, which, had it been able to shape the course of affairs, would have made a brighter history.

Our Nashville correspondent calls at­ tention to the fact that 1,000 Barry county people attended the Eaton coun­ fair, and asks Eaton qounty to reprdcute. We happen t¥know that Nashville people, especially, have al ways been good patrons of the Eaton county fair. They come because we entertain them, ana we hope our read­ ers will return the compliment and vis­ it the Hastings fair next week for the same excellent reason. Barry does have a good fair and it grows better every year. Eaton is proud of her twin sister, Miss Barry, lhese are twin counties in their circuit court, senator­ ial district and InSuranoe as well as in solid union, equal area and same lati­ tude. The latest is a union of the Charlotte and Bastings schools in se­ curing a teafter of manual training.— Charlotte Tribune. • It is always unwise for any govern­ ing body to persistently under-estimate the amount of money required for the business entrusted to it. We are glad that the present city council and school board have been conscientious in this respect, and have estimated tbe real needs of the city government and of the schools in tlxlng the taxe< for -this year. Last year the* school board should have raised 89,000 instead of 87,000 as they did. Tbe amount ex­ pended was 89,000 instead of 87,000. This year the school board will raise 810,000 by tax, of which, 81,300 will Kto pay half of the debt incurred for tiding the new second ward school house. If we critlzed the school board at all for what they did It would be for not raising the whole 82,600 indebted­ ness for the new building. The ex­ penses of the city and the schools must be paid sometime, and each council and school board should seek to provide for the expenses incurred during each year, aud not shove a deficit upon its suc­ cessors. Thursday night burglars broke into Fred Span gem acher’s hardware store, and stole about 8100 worth of articles, of which paint brushes made a large item, and which may possibly furnish a clue. Evidently the job was done by local talent for the thieves seemed to know just what they wanted and where to find It. Night-watch Trego, at about 11:30 p.m., tried the rear door of the basement of the store, and it seemed all right But there was something about it that impressed him unfavor­ ably for, having walked eastward a few rods, he retraced his steps to the door, this time finding it unlocked audbpen. In that little time the burglars un­ doubtedly made their exit th roughs the door, fleeing to the west. The night­ watch went to the jail, after finding the door unlocked, to secure assistance. But in all probability the tbievee bad teen warned by his first trial of the back door, and had left before he found it open. Entrance was made into the basement by pryingout two large lights of glass in one of the windows. Mies Myrtle Sullivan, whose marriage to Mr. Fred Stebbins occurs the 18th, has been the recipient of many social functions ir^hanorlof tbe event.

The place cards were of green card board cut as maple leaves, each resting on a real maple leaf of red. The table in the dining room at which the guest of honor sat, was decorated with red and green can­ dies, aud tbe chair she occupied trim­ med with myrtle and tied with ribbons, and ribbons of red and green were sus­ pended from the electric lights to the table. Mrs. Wood catered. Wednes­ day evening Mrs. C. H. Osborn gave a kitchen utensil shower, about twentyfive ladies being present, and a most pleasant time enjoyed. Light refresh­ ments were served.

Hastings high school football team was to have played a return game with the Kalamazoo high school eleven last Saturday at the Celery City.

Warner has been in public life for a number of years. He waa the young­ est member of the state senate during the two terms ho was a member of that body, and the youngest man ever elected secretary of state of Michigan. HIb official acts are known to bis fel­ low citizens. They, more completely than anything else possibly could, give the He to the charges now being made by newspapers that have assailed tbe character of every public man since their establishment, that he is the tool of the machine and the corpora­ tions. We have the testimony of these newspaper, recorded in their ed­ itorial columns at the close of two sessions of the legislature of which he was a meml>er, that his vote was on the right side of every question af­ fecting the people’s interests. Mr. Warner's record in the senate at a time when the question of corporation influence was strenuously in evidence is an open book, which may be scanned from cover, to cover without disclosing an instance of failure on his part to vote and act independently In the in­ terest of bls constituents. HIb record as secretary of state is equally commendable. In all matters growing out ©f tbe litigation with the railroads he bas stood steadtastly by Die attorney general, upholding tfce iattar’s bands In every effort made by the companies in their fight to defeat tbe tax law and mover damages for the repeal of the special charter of the Michigan Central From the begix»nlng tbe rallroaGs have cunningly sought to set the pubUe ■■win** tbe HARBOR SPRINGS, MJch..

IImiT “;e McOmber School Hoom. La Loo, “the wild man from the Ural mountains,’’who was barred from the fair grounds, was permitted last week to show in a tent on north Jefferson street. Thus a long felt want was sat­ isfied, and foollah people who wanted to part company with their money for the purpose of witnessing a rank and brutal fake exhibition were given the opportunity thev could not have on the fair grounds. Just what part of the Urals LaLoo came from the obliging manager did not explain.That he was a simon pure lulu, there could be no doubt. And it’s a nice thing to have LaLoos come all the way from the Ural mountains to Hastings for fair week. The pity of it is that thev can not always be with us. It ought to be so that whenever there is a crowd in town, a LaLoo would step outside his tent, and bite the head off a live little streaked snake like this one did. Such an exhibition tends to impart a high moral tone to society. It cannot fail to give that community a great reputation for intellectuality which permits a LaLoo on a crowded public street to chew the head off of a serpent. We’ll bet they can’t show anything like that at Ann Arbor, nor Kalama­ zoo, nor even Oshkosh, by Gosh! Let the LaLoos come. Let them'Abide here. Their society is elevating and charming. Republic.

And so the wide a"a*'*5 farmers of VanBuren I’ounty want no Man that will rob them of their share X)f the offices. They want pure prim­ aries but they want to have fair repre­ sentation on the ticket. Experience will point the way to get all these things through a primary law. Mean­ time it is wise not to be in too big a niirry. his duty to do so happened to be, many of them, men upon whom he had urg­ ed a. similar duty. Mr. Glasgow had to yield. He was nominated and elect­ ed by an overwhelming vote. His course in the state senate was such as made him a leader almost from the start. We doubt if a first termer in the senate ever took higher rank as a man of character, good sense aud sound judgement. He was soon a lead er, and had the senate Jone the sensi­ ble thing, as it came very near doing, in following his leadership and given to the state a primary election bill, there would be no agitation of that Issue now. * Mr. Glasgow opposed the Colby bill and we are glad he did. Even the author of that bill now concedes that it ought not to have passed. But Mr. Glasgow favors a primary law,and will vote and work for the best possible measure that will give the people con­ trol of nominations, and prevent corrupt nominations. His experience in the last senate will be worth very much in shaping a measure that will be satis factory to the people of Michigan. Other important measures will come before the legislature for action. This district is fortunate in having such a tried and true man as Mr. Glasgow to represent them in the upper house. His vole too will go for the return of Senator Burrows to the United States Senate. Not only is Mr. Glasgow’s official rec­ ord one of which the people of his district may feel proud, nut so is his record in business and as a citizen and man. In every walk of life he is the true man. He has been faithful to every trust reposed in him by his fellow men. He is a man of deep convictions, sincere, loyal to the truth, faithful to his duty. He has the qualities that ring true every time and place. ‘Mr, Glasgow has appeared on the stump before large gatherings of his fellow citizens in his district, and al ways impresses them as a man of can-^ dor, fairness and truth. He is a clear, convincing and forcible speaker, a ready debater, alert * and . at himself everytime. These are qualities that are of the utmost service to this district in the senate. And above all, he is a royal, wholesouled generous man -a man whose ability, character and integrity, aud whose splendid service for his district party point to him as lhe man who should be and will be re elected by a larger majority than that given him in — e Wm. H. Schantz, republican candi­ date for representative in the state leg­ islature, was bom in Stark county, Ohio, In 1850. When but 14 years of age he came with his parents to Wood­ land, where he lived on a farm until he was 20. Then he left for Muskegon where he worked for two years on the dock for a steamboat company, and then entered the employ of a large national bank. He worked there for six years, gaining much valuable ex jierience. Then he moved to Hastings, and was lor eight years a business man conducting a grocery establishment. This was followed by three years on the road as salesman and two years in the office as bookkeeper and accountant of the Michigan Whip Company. But Mr. Schantz never lost his love of the farm and farm life, and was al­ ways desirous for a farm.

In The republican candidate for sheriff, whose picture appears above, was born on a farm in Assyria township. When but live years of age he moved to Nash­ ville with bis parents aud has resided there ever since. He is aqdjel, get there kind of a man. He hatf never under­ taken anything without first giving it careful thought and study, and with­ out entering upon it with the purpose to succeed. And so he has been suc­ cessful in business, and prospered in what he has undertaken to accomplish. He is 31 years '»f age. and just in the prime of mental and physical vigor. Castleton had been getting into a bad habit of -sending up a democraticsupervisor every year, lie was a good man, but it didn’t seem just the thing for a republican township to be repre­ sented* in the county legislature by a democrat. So tbe republicans looked around for tbe best available man to get the township back in line. They hit upon Victor B. Fufnlss. First they ran him for assessor of Nashville vil­ lage. He was successful. Next spring they put him up for township super­ visor. He won again. That was six years ago. He has been winning by larger majorities every year since that time. * • . Mr. Furoiss will make, a first class of­ ficer. No better index to his worth and character need be asked than the increasing majorities he gels every year in his own township, and among people who have known him from boy­ hood. lie is a frank, square, level­ headed man. He will make a careful, courageous, painstaking officer. He will respect the rights of every man as a public officer. He will be cool and faithful. Hu was never known to gel rattled about anything. He has excel lent judgement and uses it. He Is even tempered and a lover of justice and fair play. He will make a model of fleer, who will seek to know his duty and to do it. His integrity and worth as a roan bear us out In that statement. He is worthy the confidence and suppjrtof every republican, and of every man who desires an honest, efficient and faithful administration of the offlee of sheriff. We are confident he will be the choice of the voters of Barry County. Chas. M. Mack, the republican candi­ date for Probate Judge, came to Michi­ gan from Lockport, N. Y., where he was boro 55 years ago. He moved first to Jackson Co., Mich., in 1866, but in 1868 settled in Baltimore, this county, where he married his present wife, and where he has continuously resided ex­ cept for about three years in this city. Mr. Mack kuows from experience all about the bard work of the farm. He had the benefit of a good common school education, and taught school eleven winters. Hie ability and geniality mark­ ed him as one who would be sought by bis fellow citizens for public positions. These be always filled with the utmost faithfulness and care. For five years he was town clerk and for three years supervisor of Baltimore. In 1882 he was elected County Clerk of Barry county; but in 1884, though he ran way. ahead of his picket, he went down be­ fore the democratic wave that swept Cleveland into the presidential chair for his first term, and elected every fu sion officer in Barry-county but ope, al Orville C. Barnum, republican candi­ date for county clerk, was born in Orleans Co., N. Y. in 1851, but removed with his parents to Barry Count: in 1X54, aaid has resided in this cot . ty. ever since in the townships of Carlton and Hastings. His occupation has always been that of a farmer, and he is a good one. He had the advantages of the common schools and improved them. He has supplemented this by an active interest in and knowledge of lhe busy world about hitn, feeling that it was his duly to be a well-informed man. It has been Mr. Baronin’s lot to liveall his life in democrat townships. He was a resident of Hastings township when the democratic majority there was frotu 40 to 120. Before that town camo iiito lhe republican column where it is now, he moved over into Carlton. Well you knbw what they have a habit of doing up in Carlton. It is just a democratic walkover at about every election. But such has been lhe popu­ larity uf Mr. Barnum among the people who best know him. and such the rec oguization of his ability and illness for public place, that he was_three limes elected on the republican ticket as township.clerk of Hastings township, ■ . ~ and has twice filled the same office in Carlton. He has been a republican can­ didate for supervisor In both townships, always runniug ahead < f his ticket and two or three times lacking but a very few votes of winning. No man could stand higher as a citl zen and man. His integrity, honesty and ability are unquestioned. He Is lhe kind of a man who will master the duties of the place for which be is nominated and to which he will un­ doubtedly be elected. He will perform them with fidelity,'and with a feeling that he is performing a sacred trust which the people have reposed in him. Mr. Barnum will follow some very ex­ cellent officials as’couuty clerk; but we predict that wnen he shall have com­ pleted bis term as county clerk, the pop­ ular verdict will be that he is a worthy successor of those worthy men.

Mich., Oct. 23,-With’the last week Detroit and Ludington -men effected the purchase of an Immense tract on the Pacific coast. the pur­ chase includes practically all ot tne timber located in th** Toba river val­ ley, in British Columbia, amounting to about fl.0n0,(KX> feet. The price was not,given out. but the outlay. Includ­ ing the crown dues on the timber, is said to be upward of $4<MJ,()00. An estifnator representing the parties In­ terested was seht to British Columbia several months ago and the deal was closed after his rep»»rt was received, the timber consisting mostly of fir, spruce and cedar. The Toba river is snld to be one of the best logging streams on the coast, being navigable for small boats. The timber is very heavy, and Is located on an average of about one mile on* each side of the river. In addition, lhe purchasers have secured the booming rights at the river’s mouth, convenient for a. mill and the landing eff large boats.

WARNER’S RECORD AS A STATE SENATOR. Fred M. Warner voted In favor of a bill for the taxation of sleeping cars in 1895. Fred M. Warner was one of the twelve Senators who 7oted (May 27, 1897) to take the Michigan Central Charter repeal bill from the commit­ tee. . Fred M. Warner voted for the socalled Atkinson railroad taxation bill at the special sereion of 1893. Discuss­ ing the measure (Senate Journal, 1898, page 238) he said: "I am in favor of the passage of this bill. While the bill is not, In every particular, as I would like to have seen it, still I think it is In the line of EQUAL AND JUST TAXATION and should be passed. Tbe imperfections, If any, can be fixed later on?" Fred M. Warner was one of the nine Senators who voted against tabling the bill which provided for the reduction of railroad fares in the Upper Penin­ sula. Fred M.

JACKSON, Mich., Oct. 23.-“Daisy*’ arrived from the World’s fair at St. Louis today and more attention was given her by a reception committee than was ever before accorded a cow. The cow is a Jersey from the farm of H. F. Probert, the Bennett farm, south of the city, and has come out of the cow contest at the fair among the win­ ners. The cow was the only one at the fair from Michigan and was entered by the American Jersey Cattle club, the cow being loaned by Mr. Probert. / Something of what the cow haa donf at the fair is Interesting. . She began milking April <1. and the tejt beg.il June 15. The tet continued 120 (luring which time the cow produced 4.900.04 pounds of milk, or 40.09 pounds per flay. The butter fat estimated by tbe use of a Babcock chemical test was 263.03 pounds, or 1.97 pounds per day, equaling 278.04 pounds of actual butter or an average of 2 1-3 pounds a day, 1014 pounds per week. ’ That the cow is a regular butter ma­ chine and a fast finisher is proven the more by her record the last day of the test after having been crowded for 119 days. The milk on the Inst day showed 5.09 per cent of butter fat. making 2.44 pounds of butter fat equal to 2 pounds and fourteen ounces of actual butter for the day. I JUST ONE INSTANCE.

Father and Son Wedded Mother and Daughter in Northville Yesterdaly. ANN ARBOR, Mich., Oct 2|.-FaXher and son. and mother and daughter were the principals in a double weddlug to­ day at Northville. One couple consists of Andrew Chapman, aged 44 years, and Mrs. Alta Briece, aged 40; the other couple are Arthur Chupman, aged 20. and Mrs. Verele Briece Pickering, aged 19. The relationship among the parties is not the only complication. Mrs. Verele Briece Pickering was granted a <llv<irce from her husband. James Pickering. September 26 last. Chapman, the elder, has been married twice previous to this, while his bride is making her second matrimonial ven­ ture. Young Chapman Is lhe only novice. Mrs. Verde Briece Pickering, who re­ ceived her divorce last month, began her matrimonial experience at an early age, as the marriage license states that she is now 19, and in her 1101 of divorce she said that she became Mrs. Picker­ ing in 1899. James Pickering, her di­ vorced husband, is 25 years old. In her bill Mrs. Pickering stated that her hus­ band had compelled her to work out as a servant, and that during the .past year he hnd only provided her in the way of clothing with a 90-cent pair of shoes and four yards of cloth. And. yet, merrily ring the wedding bells. MACHINE. oa. The Republican state ticket? made up of splendid men, is headed by Fred M. Warner, a man who has been in public life for a number of years, and whose record is unassailable. An at­ tempt has been made to shrow that he is the creature of corporate interests, and will be controlled in his actions as governor by those interests; but this has signally failed. His record has -been shown, and it proves that he has the manhood and independence to do what is right without regard to the wishes of the railroads and other cor­ porate interests of the state. The attempts made to smirch Mr. Warner have so completely failed that some of the opposition papers have lately been apologizing for the attacks which they made upon him In the' early part of the campaign. They now say that they did not intend to call in question his honor and integ­ rity, and are sorry if the language they >sed could be so construed. Mr. Fer­ ris has been compelled by the public opinion which these unjust attacks on Mr. Warner has produced by reaction, to tell the people from the platform that the Republican candidate for gov­ ernor is an honest and a just man. The people are flocking to the War­ ner standard because they want an honest and a practical business man at the head of the affairs of the state, and they are learning, even from his opponents, that he is that kind of a man. Before his straightforward course the bugaboo of ‘'primary reform” has lost its terrors, and the people are will­ ing to trust him to do what he says he will do to protect the primaries and the nominations for offices. Fred M. Warner and tbe splendid state ticket of which he is the head will be triumphantly elected on No▼ember 8th.—Muskegon News.

The fleets each had some fifteen vessels, the •litlsh having about l.OtXI mtn and th< American forces numbering about _•' n less. The former’s loss was about tin and the latter’s about 100.

The people will be very slow to en­ trust the high duty of framing and ad­ ministering a primary election law for the state, to a party capable of such treachery to the principles of that re­ form as the democratic party has shown in the primary elections of Kent and Muskegon and Wayne countiee. They have deliberately and completely de­ feated Its purpose for their own party, and perverted it so far as they could for our party. Instead of giving their voters the opportunity which the enact­ ments contemplated, of choosing be­ tween various, candidates for their nom­ inations, they arranged a cunning pro­ gram to have but one candidate for a place, and cast then but a handful of votes in each case; and then with their uuueeded votes they sought to unfavor­ ably influence our nominations, and In some cases succeeded in securing the choice of candidates on the republican ticket whose election they expect to de­ feat. When they shall have accomplish­ ed that they will have succeeded in using the direct nomination method to secure public officers who were never chosen by direct nominations, but by a gang of manipulators. And that style of doing things they want to extend to tbe choice of state officers. Bepublicans think it wiser to prove the method more thoroughly than has yet been done before so extending it; and then to put It in the hands of a party that will not betray it No doubt that changes are imperalively demanded in our system of mak | Ing nominations for office. But before any radical step is taken, the utmost | caution is required. All that experi-1 ence has taught Jn this and other states should be utilized. And then a reason­ able, safe and careful law should be passed that will prevent corrupt nomi­ nations. That is the republican posi­ I tion and it la right. I TOILET ACCESSORIES. rMhloaahl. B.n*.

We don’t ask yon to accept this statement on the bare assertion, but we do ask— and extend to every one in this community—a cordial invitation to be in attendance at our store any day in the week of NOVEMBER 14 to 19 and see this wonderful baking performance, with your own eyes, have a dainty lunch and a delicious cup of coffee with us, and hear the demonstrator from the Majestic factory explain why a ' • Mal6§tl6"s,'sj.r Range bakes so quickly and so perfectly. When you have examined this modern cooking wonder you can readily see from its construction why this is true. , MAJESTIC RANGES are entirely different from all other cooking apparatus. WiB not clog with a«heand clinkers, allow smoke and soot to escape into the kitchen, crack or break, or subject you to the^expense aud annoyance of every other cooking apparatus. Made of MALLEABLE IRON and best open hearth cold-rolled steel, 10 to 50 per cent, heavier throughout than any other range. Flues lined with pure asbestos, and the entire range riveted with tin' best Norway iron rivets. Air tight and dust-tight. This explains why a Great.Majestic Range will do its work in half the time, and consequently with half tlifuel. We wish to call attention to the PATENT RE­ MOVABLE RESERVOIR whiejt sets into a pocket iu the left hand lining of fire box which enables t he wab r to heat up very rapidly—it is too hot for the hand by the time breakfast is ready—and when the water .gets to boiling it can be moved out of the pocket by shifting the lever—no damper is needed. This is a patented article and cannot be used on any other range—hence the great cry for right hand reservoirs by other range makers. The right hand reservoir is set from two to three feet from the fire, and naturally will not heat quickly or as hot, that is they will not toil, while on tbe MAJESTIC, with a steady fire it will soon be boil­ ing. and then by the patent movable feature can be shifted so that the boiling is stopped and steam dues not fill the kitchen. . After investigating we find that the claims niadt for MAJESTIC RANGES are true to the letter, and have selected them for our range department, and give our personal guarantee that the MAJESTIC RANGES are the most complete, durable, dependable and econ­ omical ranges made, and that’s why we are having this cooking exhibit. We want all our citizens to sed for themselves the proof of the claims made for the’mAJE8TIC RANGES. FREE !A“E FREE! Weave going to give, absolutely free, to every pur­ chaser of a MAJESTIC RANGE, during the sale only, a complete set of the celebrated MAJESTIC COOKING WARE made of copper, steel and enamel, worth $7.50. cheap at that and the best at any price.

A sadness comee ovex our community as we are called to mourn the loss of an aged father. Silently again death has removed from among us one of earth’s old landmarks. With sorrow we yield up onr earthly claims but proudly we acknowledge our acquaintanceship with this grand old man. To know him was to honor and respect him. Ever as we remember his presence among us we feel a quiet dutiful influence steal over us. As a neighbor he was ever loyal and honorable. Forever a cordial sympa thetic friend, and as a father ever lov­ ing and true. Pen cannot trace, tongue cannot tell the virtues of the inner man as those cat. feel who lived nearest to his heart and knew him best. Welcome was his well remembered face at all neighbor­ hood gatherings none seemed com­ plete without him. hfany a time has his quiet voice settled all matters of dispute as none others could have done. Though silent now is that loving voice and still forever is that loyal heart vet the advlee he otiee gav. and the influence he once wielded, will live on for ages untold. , We never can erase from our memory the example of honest soberness left to us by this peaceful, lawabiding old candidates for county •4 to flle a notice of y with the chairman of, • <onnty committee at before the day of the • .«r That the chairman . list of candidates for I ticket under the head 1 'ii’e, with a square or cir’ 'arh candidate's name. lie ■ • ■rite in the county con< be required to name his choice «jn -nt ticket for each office in the booth ! same as is now done at a regular ‘••'■tivii.

Accordingly it was decided on Friday evening of fast week to hold a meeting at the opera house, and have Mr. Pryor deliver the address. This was done, and bids were circulated Monday announcing the meeting. Though the notice was short, there was a large crowd to hear Mr. Pryor. His address was in his usual clear, forcible and convincing mannen—di rect, sincere and straight to the point. He gave the reasons for the faith that was in him, and a fairer address could not lx* framed. He handled the issues of the campaign in a masterly manner.

A Well Conducted Game Throughout. Saturday was an ideal day for foot-, ball and the High School team took ad* vaiftagc of it to wallop Lake Odessa, It was rather cold for the spectators but just right for the players. The game was called’ at 2:30 sharp. Hastings took the ball and scored ;k . touchdown in the first few minutes ut play. After the next kick-off, Hastings took the ball and’by a series of end runs and line bucks scored the second touchdown. The third one was made, by Lambie after a pretty 30 yard run. behind a gfreat interference. Hastings, missed the kickout and consequently the goal. In the next few minute* Hastings scored another touchdown^ and shortly afterward time was called. The half ended with the ball in Has­ tings possession on their opponents 4G yard line. The score stood Hasting* 23, Lake Odessa 0. la the second half Hastings took the ball on the kickoff and returned it. to their 35 yard line. Here Michael was given the ball and by a pretty 75, yard run scored the fifth touchdown. The other two touchdowns came in rapid succession and when time wa* called the score stood Hastings 41fc Lake Odessa 0. Lake Odessa had but one chance to score and this came in the second halt when Hastings fumbled and Zelner, of . Lake Odessa, picked up the ball and started for the goal, but he was over­ taken by Cfook and stopped after hav­ ing gained 25 yards. Although Lake Odessa Was weak both on offense and defense, the game showed that Hastings has a strong and fast team. Their chief weakness lay ir. the tendency to fumble. The game waa wholly free from objectionable features. Both teams conducted themselves in the most gentlemanly manner.

I and PLAY A FINE GAME ATTHE There is bo reason why our city con­ temporaries should become so disturb­ ed over the item in last week’s Banner relating to the bills of Sheriff. Court­ right. it did not break the force of the facts we presented f or our editorial brethren to get wildly excited and de­ nounce the BanNek and its proprietors. What reasons can be offered for an in­ crease of 100 per cent in four years ir^ the sheriff’s bills? Why in quiet times like these should the sheriff’s bills be about as much in the last year as thev were for the entire four years of Sheriff Ritchie? Why should it cost 8200 more to board the prisoners of Barry county for nine months than it did for the whole four years of Sheriff McKevitt?. Why should it cost almost 8100 more for the same item in nine months under the present Sheriff than it did fur four years under Mr. Ritchie? These are questions that concern the taxpay­ ers. It will not answer them to de­ nounce the Banner or its editors. We called attention to the fact that the Sheriffs bills for the nine months' of this year were 83,452. If they shall be in the same proportion for the next three months, then they will exceed 84500 for the year; or in other words, if the bills run as they have for nine months, then our present sheriff’s bills for this year will be greater than Sheriff Ritchie's for four years. Nowtheaeare the facts. The tax­ payers of the county are entitled la them' The Banner has a right to present them. We believe our loaders will fully agree with our statement that these bills are very large—larger it seems to us than they ought to be. We believe tl * supervisors did just right in postpon­ ing action on the sheriff's bills. And we believe in the interests of all con­ cerned that the investigation ought to be thorough. We repeat our statement that in our judgement the criminal business of. Barry county is costing much more than it should. We believe the facts we have given justify that statement. A Fine Lecture. The Ant of the series of Sunday sve. ning lectures at the Methodist church took place Sunday evening. The speak* er was Prof. Goodrich, of Albion col­ lege, and his theme “A Life or a LIyins?” He is a pleasing speaker, and handled his subject in a masterly man­ ner. The church was crowded, and it was a pleased and interested audience. Prof. Goodrich will find1 a most cordial welcome should he come again, as all who beard him hope he mar. There was some very enjoyable special musiq under the direction of Mrs. Margate^ Troxell.

W. Post, tbe Battle Creek capitalist, purchased the sanator­ ium for $101,000. The sale was order­ ed by the court to satisfy the claims against the management of the insti­ tution. Court commissioner, W. H. North conducted the sale. There was no content, Mr. Poet being the sole bid­ der. It waa expected that the genial capitalist would obtain the property and it is well for Battle Greek that tbe institution is in Mr. Paet's hands, for If anyone can make a success of the sana­ torium It is the new owner, Mr. Post At the time the sale of the building was ordered by the court there waa an Indebtedness of $79,800 against the sanatorium, and to that must be added the interest accruing upon this amount. There are other claims against tbe in­ stitution also. Mr. C. W. Post, the new owner, said to a News reporter that the building immediately be closed aud It will remain dark for tlx months. “I don't know what I will do with it after that time. Nobody knows what will be done" be said. The building is said to have cost quire a little over $300,000 or more than three times the purchase price. Tbe personal property is also in the hands of Mr. Poet and he will dis poee of it as be wishes. F. G.

Saturday afternoon Ned Foot, a 14 year old boy living about three miles south of the village of Orangeville, was ।shot in the right lung by the accidental discharge of his shot gun, and died that evening. The circumstances appear to be that he and his twin brother went out hunt-, ing after dinner in the woods back of the house. They had a double barreled shotgun. Ned carried the gun. See­ ing a squirrel he cocked both barrels, and fired, bringing down the game. He thought be had shot both barrels, but it proved that only one was discharged, while the other was cocked. He drop­ ped the butt of the gun to the ground, and the jar discharged the other barrel, the shot tearing a hole upward through his right lung, coming out near tbe back of the neck. The accident happened about half past three. The brother dragged Ned te the house as soon as he could, and medical aid was summoned. The in­ jured boy lingered until eight o’clock I! that night when he died. I The accident is a very sad one, aud cast a gloom over the entire community where the boy was known and well liked. It again emphasizes the great need of care in the use of fire arms. Primary School Funds. The apportionment of the primary school fund by the state has been made, amounting to 82.55 for each scholar re­ ported. Barry County’s proportion is *15.937.90. This makes a total of over *18,000 received by Barry County from the state for the support of our public schools. Should the present suits of state against the railroads for back taxes be decided in favor of the state, Barry County would receive about 839,­ 000 more.

MADISON, Ind.. Nov. 14.—"Too bash­ ful to live” Is the epitaph that should be placed over the grave of Hugh Pqgue, who committed suicide here, firmly- convinced that his bashfulness prevented his life from being a success. Saturday night young Pogue took a large dose of morphine. When he was found dying a note lay near him, bid­ ding farewell to the world and declar-' Ing that his life was a failure owing to his bash fulness. Licking the self-confidence and as­ sertiveness that he found necessary for I success and that were exhibited by ynung men of his acquaintance. he pre­ ferred to end bls life. He died earljtoday. y Pogue was well known and well liked for his many admirable qualities, and it is the opinion of his friends that he over-estimated his bashfulness until St preyed upon his mind and rendered him temporarily deranged. । DIES AT HIS DESK.

Nov. 14.—It Bounds like a joke to hear of* two young men walking from Michigan to Florida tor their health, yet two memben of the Jndkson Overland Walking club have made plane and seriously intend start­ ing next Sunday morning at 9:30 from In front of the Knox more in Main street. They are Fred A. Luth aged 10. and Joseph W. Choate, ug- j 17. During the last summer and autumn they have walked for pleasure, taking jaunts of 30 ’and 40 mites. Luthey walked to Alpena during his vacation last summer, a distance of nearly 200 nd les. For the , trip to Florida the boys In­ tend to carry n full army .equipment except the guns. This will enable them to sleep out of doors wherever night overtakes them. Both are firm be­ lievers In physical training at New York. Luthey Is a photographer and expects to locate in Florida. \Chqato thinks the trip will give him tugged health. Their proposed destination is DeSoto county, where Choate has an uncle, E. A. Bingham, formerly of Jackson, who took up government land In DeSoto county. DeSoto county Is between 27 and 28 degrees of latitude, and is not many miles north of the great Florida swamp and famous Everglades. . . The route the boys have mapped out Is *rom Jackson to Cincinnati, to Chat­ tanooga, to Atlanta, and Macon. Ga., and thence to Arcadia, DeSoto county. They think they will be able to aver­ age-30 to 40 miles a day and at this rate will reach their destination about Christmas. "We will probably take a supply of souvenir photographs," say the boys, as Luthey found that there was call for something of that sort durnlg his walk to Alpena. "I suppose we will spread thfe gospel of outdoor physical culture along our route, as we both believe In It thoroughly." f It Is expected that quite a gathering pf their friends will be on hand Sun­ day morning to see them off.

One of their weird tri­ bal dances was in progreaa; they were formed in a single column in a circle, their bodies bent forward and accom­ panying their motions with a jerky acoompaniment of music made by gongs and cymbals, chanting strange sounds meanwhile. When they got tired and dropped out fresh dancers took their places making it a kind of continuous performance. With few exceptions they are finely formed, their rich brown skins oiled until they shone, reminded one of smooth bronze. We wended our way past rows of huts finding objects of novel interest at every step. They seemed to totally disregard our presence and worked and talked and laughed as though alone.

Every bu ild I pg is elaborate­ ly decorated with lights on comice, archway, columns and domes, and they are so cleverly hidden that it is only the reflection we see not the light itself and one cannot imagine without seeing it how much this heightens the effect. In spite of tbe crowds and the constant coming and going there was never loud conversation or laughing to jar one. The magic beauty of the scene seemed to put all under a spell. Directly across and towering above us beyond the main lagoon are the Cascades and Festival hall, the main Cascade with three dif­ ferent colors of . incandescent lights turned on over which 90,000 gallons of water are flowing every minute produc ing a rippling gushing sound which is peculiarly pleasing aud musical. Soft running launches, and picturesque gon­ dolas with a real Venetian gondolier making entrancing music on his guitar glide softly across the golden lights in the dark waters of the lagoon. A little way to the right the incomparable Sousa and his famous band are playing music that lifts you way beyond all earthly things. I wondered—Could St. John’s vision of the New Jerusalem with all its splendors surpass this? Once seat­ ed herer we never had the nerve to leave until Sousa’s musicians rose to play “The Star Spangled Banner." as they always did in closing their concerts. This never failed to arouse the greatest enthusiam. With Sousa playing Ithat piece and under the magic spell of the surroundings I could have seen my husband and only son march off to de­ fend their country and thrown in my daughter as a red cross nurse witht all the stoicism of a Spartan mother al­ though I always felt differently on calmer reflection in the morning at the Inside Inn. ar® rPquirod^‘a?,’I?

That American voters are becoming; snore and more independent is shown by the election returns.];Even in the: face of the Roosevelt landslide, in, Michigan the independent" voter cut the republican majorityXonZ governor ' to 140,000 below that of president. lu Missouri, Joseph W. Folk, the fearless democratic district attorney who un-­ earthed the boodle deals in Missouri's elected governor by nearly 50,000 maj­ ority, although every other democrat; on the state ticket was defeated. In Illinois, Deneen, the republican district attorney who performed good service in the cause of good citizenshipjln Chicago, was elected governor by the largest majority ever given in thestate. and fully equal to Roosevelt's, Ln Wisconsin, the voters took Governor La Follette’s word for it that he would, favor compelling the railroads tofeease granting rebates to a few big shippers, and to pay their fair share of taxes. He was elected by over 40,000 notwith­ standing the bitter fight against|him. The trend of public opinion is certainly in tbe direction of independent voting. Parties must make a note of tbisjand nominate their best men on goodfplatforms of principles if theyjhopejto win. The total deposits in all the savings banks of the world, according to latest official information received by the Department of Commerce and Labo* through its Bureau of Statistic^ amounted to over billion dollar*, contributed by 82,640,000 depositors. Of this total the United States shows aggregiate deposits of S3,060,1 TV,000 credited to 7,305,000 depositors. As the figures -used in arriving at the grand totals cover about one-half of the pop­ ulation of the world, viz, over 770 mil­ lion, it appears that tbe United State*, ■with less than per cent of the total population considered, contribute •over 29 per cent of the total savings deposits recorded. Of the total num­ ber of depositors, or rather deposit ac­ counts, the share of the United States is somewhat less than 9 per cent, while the average deposit per account is more than four times and the average sav­ ings per inhabitant more than three and one half times the corresponding averages for the rest of the world. The world, is learning much "front Japan these days, and particularly this: That in military! movements, organisation in the movement of men aud supplies is tbe first consideration. And uext, of equal importance, that it • is much more necessary to protect sol­ diers from disease germs by seeing that they have proper food to eat and water to drink than it is to protect them from the enemy’s bullets. In our war with Spain, ten men died of fevers |to one killed by Spanish lead. In the RussianJapanese war, this proportion^is|almost exactly reversed on the Japanese side. This is accomplished by the most care­ ful oversight of tbe Japanese com­ manders over the diet of their soldiery. Peace has been practically offered to Russia by Japan on the terms original­ ly offered, namely, that, Manchuria shall be restored to China and both na­ tions withdraw their troops from the disputed territory. This Is a generous offer coming as it does from a nation that has won every battle so far on laud and sea. But Russia, smarting Moder the sting of defeat, refuses to ■consider anything but the uncondi­ tional surrender of Japan. Thue the bloody war must continue until the two nations wear themselves out.

After looking over the bill of fare at the lunch hour I concluded that I wanted a slice of ox tongue, an article which I found among other things to be ordered. Ac­ cordingly- I told the waiter to bring me a piece of tongue. He returned without any unnecessary delay and shoved the dish out In front of me. I looked it over. It was not tongue at *11. The waiter was hanging around the back of my chair, for he knew an explanation would be In order in a few minutes. “Say, old man.” I said to him directly, “this is not ox tongue at all ” He smiled. Picking up tbe bill of fare, he said: “I knows It ain’t ox tongue, boss. You see, the steward done made a mistake. It ought to be ox tall. Dat’s the only difference.” "The only difference," I repeated, and tbe humor of the thing dawned on me. "Well.” I added directly, “if the difference should be any greater I’ll be durned if you wouldn't have to get off the ox.” The waiter caught the humor of the situa­ tion and snickered his way back to tbe kitchen.—Galveston News.

To th< primitive lay mind tbe aaure tint of the firmament is simply ita wtural color. But our daily experience abows that the visible dome of the heavwu Is only an appearance- and science teaches us to Inquire critically Into the nature of things. The cause of this color, viewed from a scientific atandpoint. has been almost as \illusive as tbe fabled phi­ losopher’s stone, which during'the mid­ dle ages was for centuries an object of profound’research. The same may be aald of fhe familiar color of the deep blue sea, which has elicited the admira­ tion of dwellers on the ocean shores from the earliest ages of mankind, and yet probably no great number of Indi­ viduals have Inquired into the cause of this color.—T, J.

About an hour later Mommsen looked up from bls work and proceeded to the kitchen to ask why luncheon had not been served. “But tbe professor had his luncheon an hour ago!” expostulat­ ed the servant. “Dear me,’’ said the historian, “bow could I be so forget­ ful!” and I returned peaceably to his study, where he continued working through tbe afternoon. line of Fur Coats Blankets and Robes It i» the finest and best we have ever shown.

Suttee, or the practice of Immolating widows, on their husband's funeral pyres In India, was first attacked by the British government In 1829. It was on Dee. 4 of that year that Lord Wil­ liam Bentick carried a resolution in council by which all who abetted sut­ tee were declared guilty of “culpable homicide.” In the year 1817 700 wid­ ows were burned alive In Bengal alone, but since the passing of the act tbe practice has entirely died out. Suttee was really a primitive rite, a survival from barbarous times, and not sanc­ tioned by Hindoolsm, the passage in the Vedas supporting it being a willful mistranslation.

Two wonderful Inventions have been made by Cavaltere ITdo of Genoa, the hydroscope and the marine elevator, whldh vaay make possible the recovery of all the great treasures tort at sea since the world began. The hydroscope, »o far as one can see. consists of a long tube fitted with various optical Instruments at the end. The secret of the Instrument lies within-Mn tbe mechanism that gives It tbe power. .When the Instrument is fitted to a salp an image of the water and the things therein beneath tbe ship can be thrpwu oh to a screen on deck, so that a number of people at one time can see what is going on in the water beneath them. The instrument, moreover, can be so adjusted that it will reflect not only objects lytof beneath It, but those around and above, thus enabling a cap­ tain to keep an eye on the keel of bls ship or to examine the keel In cube of accident while steaming at full speed. Cnvallere Pino is confident his instru­ ment is powerful enough to enable him to peer into the deepest depths of the sea. In case the water should prove too dense, however, and for use at night­ time he has devised a new form of elec­ tric lamp which will throw shafts of light to practically any depth. For use in connection with his hydro­ scope Cavallere Pino has Invented an “elevator” for raising from the bottom of the sea any desired object. The con­ struction of this Instrument, the tests already made of It and Its future pos­ sibilities are most Interestingly de­ scribed by Dr. C. Llbertacrlo, who as a personal friend of the Inventor is in close sympathy with his work. The field for the use of the hydroscope In the recovery of sunken treasure alone Is almost ifnlirulted and quite outdis­ tances the wildest flights of fancy In which even Jules Verne ever indulged. "The figures with regard to ship­ wrecks prove what a vast fortune awaits CavnMere Pino," asserts Dr. Libertacrio, "If the invention can tee used but for no purpose other than to raise tbe vessels that sink month by month. On an average ISO vessels of ruore than 6W tons rink every month. Tbe value of each ship lost of atxjvo 500 tons, in- I eluding cargo, amounts to hundreds of thousands of dollars. . “This elevator takes tbe form of an entirely new'species of submarine-craft, but at present no more may be written about it than that It is unlike any lift­ ing apparatus ever designed before and that It is strong enough to lift the heav­ iest ironclad from the greatest depth.” SAFETY GAS BURNER. It seems to be the rule that, no mat­ ter how perfect an Invention may seem to be when it Is completed and put to practical use, it will at some time In th4 future need revising or perhaps will be discarded altogethwr for some other de­ vice which is either more economical or •increases the limit of safety. Thus the Aold slotted gas burner answered its pur­ pose for a time and Is still used to no inconsiderable extent, but a more eco­ nomical light can be obtained by limit: ing the flow and using the decreased quantity to incandesce tbe fragile man­ tle. Then, too, the slotted burner was per­ fectly sa’fe as long as the old style of meter was used, which registered tbe quantity of gas consumed, but with th® pbobate THE MEMORANDUM HABIT. •layiar the Ghoat of F«r»ottea Tki>O-«rihU la the Dar’e »»*h. The “complexities of modern life" b*» become a stock phrase with writers and speakers, but no other words will expressively describe the mad rush to and fro from duty to pleasure which characterizes the dally life of tbe ma­ jority. In woman’? realm especially this intermingling of work and play means n continuous network of market­ ing aud morning club, visits to the den­ tist and the dressmaker, hunting up a music teacher for Maude nud writing an acceptance to the Grundy’s dinner invitation, with a charity meeting and two afternoon teas to attend before it Is time to return home and dress hur­ riedly for dinner. Sometimes It all goes through suc­ cessfully only to be spoiled by a tiny white button, or, rather, tbe lack of a stitch taken in time. More often really important mattersrare forgotten at the proper time only to be remembered at the most Inopportune period, while tbe sins of social omission cause many a bad quarter of au hour to tbe busy Woman. That she finally succumbs to nervous prostration Is no wonder, but It Is not work which causes the final blow so much as worry. Between the desire to eliminate tome of the nonessentlals and the constant efforts of recollecting the multiform engagements life is one king struggle after tbe unat­ tainable. A simple device pnd some will powet In the beginning are really all tliat Is necessary to slay the ghost of forgotten things. Look ut man, stalking through life serenely, and take pattern. The consciousness of a notebook to remind him of things to be done and the time of doing gives him a sense of reserve force which 18 not possessed by his bet­ ter half. This effectual device may be called tbe memorandum habit and Is simply a question of pockets aud persistence. A place in which to carry the notebook and the art of continually using It are all that Is required. No more good brain matter wandering aimlessly through space hunting for the lost Idea, no more time wasted seeking for “who.” “which” and "where." ’ The morning ami street dresses can easily be fitted with pockets, while with re­ ception and dinner gowns.a chatelaine may be worn which will serve to note whatever is necessary. A little practice will enable one to ac­ quire the habit of noting every Item and then glancing occasionally over the various lists. The material things will have been relegated to their proper place, not allowed to consume more than their share of the busy woman's time and thought. Then, if the rush of life be maddening, there will at least be method iu the madness.—Table Talk. A Quaint Hall and Stairway. Modern halls are a development of all styles that have gone before.

The church was handsome­ ly trimmed with yellow, white and ma­ roon chrysanthemums and palms. The bride was attended by Misses Rose Clark and Zita Devine, and the groom by Mr. Edward Brooks, brother of the bride. The bride wore a very pretty gown of crepe de chine and tulle veil and carried bride’s roses; the brides­ maids were gowned in white silk, and wore white picture hats and carried pink roses. A very pleasing part of the ceremony was the music in charge of Prof. Flynn and Miss Aileen Butler, of Kalamazoo, solos being rendered by both. Messrs Edward Clark, of Kala­ mazoo, and Win. Dooley acted ui ushers. A wedding breaklast was served to the bridal party and the immediate relatives at the home erf the bride after the cere­ mony, for which Mra. Wood catered. In the evening from, seven to eleven o’clock a largely attended reception was hejd. The house was prettily decorat­ ed. the parlor where the bridal party rect-ived was trimmed in green and white, white chrysanthemums and vines grouped around a large mirror serving as a background; the sitting room was trimmed in red berries aud roses; and the dining room was in'pink, and green ropeapf smllax in which pink roses were interwoven draped from the four coiners of the table to the ceiling, h candelabra ou a table mirror with smilaxand pink carnations scattered about completed the simple but effective dec or^tiuns.

Wednesday evening Joe Sage’s little boy was standing near the kitchen tab­ le with his left foot locked about the right one as many children Have a hab­ it of doing. His little sister came near him, and the two proposed to have ’ a little play spell. The boy started as if to run after his sister, but In doing so fell violently to the door, the fall being caused from the manner in which his feet were locked together. The right leg was broken about a third of the way above the knee. Dr. Fuller was called and reduced the fracture. How the bone could have been broken by the fall to the floor seems a good deal of a mystery, but it was, and some of the muscles were torn also. Theinjury is a very painful one, but the little sufleteris enduring livery manfully. 06565228 >1.00 PER YEAR LIBERAL OFFER IN AGRICULTURE C. M.

Glasgow,of this district, is being urged as a candidate for President of the next State Senate. No better selection could be made. Senator Glasgow easi­ ly ranked as one of the leaders of the ‘last senate and had his counsels pre­ vailed with respect to primary reform there would have teen no such revolt against Fred M. Wariief as was shown last month. Senator Glasgow would moke an excellent presiding officer. His integrity and fairness would always be above*quesliou and his disposition to do the square thing by all men and all interests would make him a popular president of the upper house. NEW PLANING MILL Jos. Alwin$ is Fitting Up One in the First Ward. Joseph AIwine has purchased of Bert Lake the bnilding east of the Table factory in the first ward, and is fitting it up for a planing mill. He found the demand for such an establishment here was far greater than he anticipat­ ed, and the business rapidly outgrew the quarters where it was first establish­ ed, in the old apple dryer. A paper is being circulated, and we hope may be generously signed, io alq Mr. Al wine. It is hoped to raise 8400 to assist him iu fitting up his new mill, half to be paid at once, pnd the balance when he shall steadily employ twelve men. Has­ tings greatly needs a planing mill, and Mr. Alwine will certainly do his ut­ most to supply the need. BETTER ORDER NOW i BIG CONTRACT For Steam Boiler Insurance Taken by Jesse Darling, Formerly of This City. Nothing is more gratifying to the Banner than to learn that young men who have gone out from our city are meeting with success in the world. It is a pleasure therefore to read in the Chicago Tribune - of November 23rd that Jesse Darling, formerly of this city, but now special agent for the Hartford Steam Boiler Insurance with headquarters at Milwaukee, had closed a contract with the great Calu­ met & Hecla Copper Mining Company to insure all their boilers. The total insurance involved was 8415,000. A pretty large contract, as all will agree. OBITUARY. Jehial F-'Meade was born in Seneca county N. Y., April 1, 1825 and died November 19,1901 at the residence of his son Henry at Cedar Creek.

The scarcity of turkeys was in evi­ dence list week, not only by the high price of that popular Thanksgiving bird, bdt by their fewness even at the big price. As an illustration: Paul Blake has usually shipped a ton or more of dressed turkeys to outside places for Thanksgiving dinners. This year he could muster but seven. And it wasn’t because be wouldn’t pay the price, but because he could hot get them. The heavy rains no doubt drowned out the young tuikey chicks last spring and summer. What people will do for Christmas turkeys is a problem. MEDAL CONTEST An Interesting One Held at the Lacey Church.

Bathe the feet In warm water to which a heaping teaspoonftd of borax has been added, wipe quite dry and scrape all callous spots with pumice Stone, then dip them In cold water to prevent taking cold. To harden the feet a salt bath is invaluable. After it sponge the feet and ankles with alco­ hol.

Japan’s recent proposition of peace on the terms she originally demanded, that Russia and Japan both quit Man­ churia, ought to have been accepted by Russia. If it could "be done, the other powers ought to intervene to force a settlement on those terms. The Jackson Citizen observes that “Bryan said that Parker was the dem­ ocratic Moses. The Bible tells ns that Moses was buried outside the Prom­ ised Land, and that no man knoweth of his sepulchre.” The resemblance seems to go farther than Mr. Bryan probably had in mind. It is not a matter to bt\ pleased about that the democratic party will have not a single member of the -next legislature in either the house or sen­ ate. While such a thing may seem flattering to the republicans, the truth of the matter is that it would be bet‘ ter for all concerned if there were •an opposition party with ^influence and standing. Too big majorities ar^ neither good for a successful party nor the people interested. OBITUARY.

' STILL WORKING ——r 12 PAOEJ. BETTfR THINK IT OVER SOME CONDITIONS THAT OUGHT TO BE WEIGHED jr NO GOOD CAN COME Freni Anything the Saloon has to Offer to the Young Man-Only Evil can be Expected on that Downward Road. pung man, before you etep into the saloon please stop and think it over. Ask yourself how many men you know who have ever been made better by going that way? Ask yourself is it is not true that the ■ end of that road is misery and degrada­ tion for the majority who follow it? Think of the wrecked bodies, the wrecked minds, the wrecked homes, the wrecked lives along that road. Ask yourself if it will be worth your while to go that way even if you shall escape the worst of its evils? Ask yourself if you can afford to take the chance# of having any of these evils come vouc way? * ’ Ask yourself if your chances of get­ ting on in the world will be helped by going the way uf the saloon? Are business men who are seeking for good talent in young men in the habit of going to the saloon to find them? The railroad in increasing number are refusing to employ men who fre­ quent saloons. Life insurance, com panies are refusing to insure the lives of habitual drinkers and are preparing to give more favorable rates to the to tai abstainers'. Have not these facts, founded not on sentiment but on cold busincE i calculation, a lesson for you? Think t In a certain doctor’s office in this city Is almost striking picture. It is entitled "The one friend who always stood by him.” It represents a man who aught to have been in the prime of life and usefulness. His face abd apparel speak of debauchery and drunkennees. At his side was "the friend who always stood by him"—an im­ mense whiskey bottle, and he was al­ ways walking in its shadow. On the road there had dropped away from him at successive stages his friends of re­ spectability and his business associates. Last of all bis wife and children, weep­ ing and sorrowing, had forsaken him because he loved "the one friend that always stood by him” better even than his home and his own flesh and blood. The young man who first crosses the threshold of the saloon never expects that he will come to such an end. But the only certain way to avoid it is to keep away from the saloon, and never acquire the taste for liquor. Better avoid any other place, such as the gam ing table or pool room, which may pave the way to the saloon habit. eighty eight years old And Mr. Peter Covert, o! Carlton, Doesn’t Mind a Seven Mile Walk. Sktuntay. Uncle Peter Covert, of Ckrilon. well known in Hastings, was the center of .an Interested group in the C. K. i s. aepot. He was on bl, way to spend the winter with hie daughter, Mr». Freeman Ford, of Hick ory Corners. He had loaded his trunks aud boxes onto a wagon tint morning, and expected to ride to the city a little later. Getting tired of waiting he thought he wou' l start out and walk and the team would catch up with him on the road, but he evidently set loo fast a pace for it failed to over­ take him, and he covered the seven mile, from his farm to Hasting, before hereallwdit, In a time that might put a younger man to blush. Anyway the travelling men prjsent In the depot thought they wouldn’t care to tackle the urn walk. Mr. Covert is a happy specimen-----of vigorous v»u old ago, age, nnd and bids fair to add many more years to a long and useful life. THOUGHT II WAS HIE FLOOD HIGH SCHOOL GIVEN A TASTE OF OLD NOAH’S EXPERIENCES BY FREEZING WATER PIPES Literary Societies Fleet Every Other Week-A “C” Debars You From Reading Table Privileges— * Items From our Staff Correspondent. Monday morning the water pipes in the ball dn the third tloor were froze.n and broken and when they thawed out, about the time school called, the watei sprayed is etery direction from the drinking fountain and ran in streams down the stairs. The water was im­ mediately shut off aud the pipes were repaired during the day, but the pipes in the Chemical Laboratory had escap­ ’d notice and when the water was again turned on about four o’clock it was not noticed that these pipes had also been broken, and Tuesday morning found the door of the laboratory covered, and thd water had leaked down through the floor into Miss McNaughton’s room, where it fell directly upon the table soaking all of her books and covering the floor about half an inch deep. The several literary societies of the High School meet every ottyer week on Friday, where interesting programs consisting of debates, essays and read­ ings are carried out. Last Wednesday noon Miss Barber gave a very interesting and instructive talk about famous pictures by famous painters. A new custom has been adopted this year that any student receiving a "C” in his work is entitled tc keep his seat instead of going to the reading table. This is accomplishing what it was Intended for. *1.00 PER TEAR ENTERTAINS THE^TEACHERS Hr. and Firs. J. T. Lombard.uive* Six O’clock Dinner Flonday Night Mr. and Mrs. J. T.

Recently the labor organi­ zations of New Orleans boycotted a newspaper which had the hardihood to criticise some of their perform­ ances. But the leaders of the Amer­ ican Federation of Labor at their re­ cent meeting in San Francisco, had the good sense to severely censure r heir New Orleans brethren for their action and to demand full liberty, for tbe press to discuss labor problems and organizations as well as other • matters. The American Federation of Labor is to be commended for this action. If the labor organizations cannot submit to newspaper discus­ sion of their performances they are in a very bad way indeed. 25e to SI 00. Smpondor, (H. & P. m»ke) 25c to S2.00.

Wine of Cardui Cured Her. 213 South Prior Street, Atlanta, Ga., March 21,1903. I suffered for four months with extreme narvouunes# and lassitude. I had a sinking feeling in my stomach which no medicine seemed to relieve, and losing' my appetite I became weak and lost my vital­ ity. In three weeks I lost fourteen pounds of flesh and felt that I must find speedy relief to regain my health. Having heard Wine of Cardui praised by several of my friends, I sent for a bottle and was certainly very pleased with the results. Within three days my appetite returned and my stomach troubled me no mare. I could digest my food without difficulty and the nervousness gradually diminished. Nature performed her functions without difficulty and I am once more a happy and wail woman. OLIVE JOSEPH, Ttim, Atlanta Friday XkgM Secure a Dollar Bottle of ^Wine of Cardui Today.

One Who Was,There. CHRISTMAS SHOPPING Best to Do It Early While the Stocks are Complete. The usual way has been to put off Christmas shopping until a day or two before Christmas. This method ex­ perience has proven to be unwise. First, the stocks are broken when it is so near Christmas day that it is harder to make a selection than it would have been earlier. Then it is impossible for the tradesman to wait on customers properly during the rush of holiday J trade. Customers llUb not HUUlUg finding the uauc, VUBWUIVID bUC । things they want in the broken stocks, | either buy something they do not de j sire, or go away disappointed, and so । fail to remember as they had intended the fripnds they had in mind as the re­ cipients of their gifts. 'Therefore we recommend as a matter of justice to the tradesman.and of convenience also, as well as assuring better results to the customer that holiday; purchases lie made early this year.

' Lake Cayuga is one of the wonders of the eastern states. It is situated in west central New York and is upward of forty miles in length, with an aver­ age breadth of but three miles. One of its peculiarities is this: Although hundreds of persons have been drown­ ed in Its waters since tbe settlement of the adjacent territory, not a single corpse has so far been recovered, and it is a common saying that “Lake Ca­ yuga never gives up its dead.” Those who have made an attempt to fathom this mystery say that the bottom of this remarkable sheet of water is sim­ ply a series of large openings and era terlike parities. the entire Mke bed having Hhc • appearance of being one huge honeycomb, each of the well­ like holes being reputed to be bottom­ less. * Another Cayuga mystery is its ir­ regular tides.

The “Marte Mirror" of Japan. The “magic mirror” of Japan is a disk of bronze, usually from six to eight inches in diameter. It is silvered on the front, which is a little convex, and there is a raised pattern on the back, which is rather concave. The polished pattern is generally a land­ scape, flowers, animals or Chinese characters. It is not visible in the front of the mirror, but when strong sunlight is reflected from tbe front of the mirror to a wall or screen the pat­ tern of the back is visible on the screen in bright lines on a black ground. Professor W. E. Ayrton, F. R. 8., with Professor John Perry. F.

It la a spasm ot the glottis—L e., the opening at tbe upper part of the windpipe, ^’hen the child is seized with this spasm the throat closes, and there is Imminent danger of suffocation. Ilie little sufferer fights for air and In the gasping for breath “crows/’ hence the name. The face becomes livid and blur, and without prompt assistance tbe Infant may die of suffocation in a few minutes. Not a moment is to be lost. Some one should of course go for the doctor, as his attendance is very neeeHnary. but If treatment were deferred until he came tbe child would proba­ bly be beyond his power to aid. Proceed thus: Dash cold water over the head and into the child’s fttce, bold a bottle of smelling salts to its nose, put a aponge wrung out of very hot water tn Its throat over the windpipe, put the fin­ ger down tbe throat to excite vomiting and at the same time pull the tongue forward, as this frees the air passage nnd enables tbe child to breathe.

HOW TO HOLD THE SEESAW. wineglass or tumbler containing ju«t enough water to make the whole affair balance Vfhen you take your hands off So far you have accomplished a strlk Ing and '•ticklish’' balancing' feat and 1 that Is all. New attach 'a bullet, coin or any small henry object to a thread, carefully lowering it into the water tn the little glass. As soon as the coin touches the water the glass begin* to go down, the knives turning like see­ saws on the corks, aud the more of tho coin you submerge the lower goes the gHiss. ro that If the coin Is large you win have a smash before it is half un­ der water. Byi you can pull It up at any instant. As you do so the glass follows ns if it were glued to the coin, and so you can keep it seesawing up and down. Perhaps the reason of this is not clear to you. Tbe coin is held up by the thread and does not touch the glass, so how can It affect it? Well, the coin is not held up by the thread alone. Tbe part that is under water Is held partly by the thread and partly by the water, which buoys it up with a force equal to the weight of au equal bulk of. water. The coin, therefore, presses the water and Consequently the glass downward with an equal force. Now. when you pull out the coin this extra weight IS taken off, so the glass rises to its original position. Blnls are simply reptiles which have shed their scaJes and twth, grown wings and feathers and Invaded the dominion of nir. The very oldest bird of which science hns any record had very sharp teeth, rather weak wings and a long tail adorned with twenty pairs of quill feathers. Some of these birds were not able to fly nt all, ami they nearly all lived on fish. Gradual­ ly ns they developed through centuries they grew more feathers, longer and stronger ■wings, lost their teeth and got sharp, hard bills Instead. There were no birds before the reptilian age, and every bird thnt fl,e5 today tracea ,tM ancestry back to a sharp toothed snake. So the old joke.

A significant announcement baa late­ ly been made by tbe advertizing mana­ gers of the big Barnum 4 Uallev and Bingling Brea, ahows. They have an nonneed that hereafter they will large­ ly curtail their appropriations for board advertising, while they will even more largely Increase their newspaper ad­ vertising. It can be assumed witbcmi any kind ot question that these big concerns would never adoF; such a policy if they had not evsry reason to du so. They do uot spend money on either bill boards or newspapers with­ out they get full value received. The fact that they are changing their plan of advertising is proof ot but one thing, namely, that they find newspaper ad­ vertising the more profitable. There ie no sentiment abogt It. It Is a cold blooded proposition from start to finish. If these men who spend hundreds ot thousands every year in advertising find the newspaper the best medium, certainly their experience ought to he a safe and reliable guide to others.

"But,” you will say, “the single crystal also appeara to be white.’’ This Is true beyond ques­ tion, the reason being that that which appears to be a single crystal is in reality a multitude of microscopic threads, prisms, lines and dots.

The Ellen in Samuel Laman Blanch­ ard’s excellent but now forgotten book, “Sketches From Life," bad probably never heard of Emdrson’s saying. “There is always time enough for cour­ tesy,” but she embodied the great sage’s principle in her daily intercourse with her fellow beings. Politeness was a ruling passion with her. To the fish­ erman’s boy she would answer, “Yes. sir; soles, sir, if it is quite convenient” Mr. Blanchard lodged with Ellen's mis­ tress, and one day the manservant of a friend brought a parcel of books. The man delivered the books Into El­ len’s hands; then, remembering he was intrusted with a letter also, he search­ ed bis pockets In vain for the missive. Ellen, waiting in the ball, was greatly distressed. “Ob, pray, air, do not trouble your­ self!" \ “Trouble myself!" exclaimed the serv­ ant “If I have a letter to deliver I’ve got to deliver it." And he continued his search. “I’m sorry to keep you waiting," broke out tbe apologetic Ellen. *‘Why, it Is 1 who am keeping you waiting," returned the puzzled servant. “What nm rnn tnlkfnir nhrnit? Well are you talking about? Well, I can’t find tbe letter.’’ ”Oh, air,” entreated the maid, “never mind! I d re say it doesn’t signify. Another tin •> will do quite as well.” Mr. Blam hard’s landlady was taken sick, and every day the lodger’s in­ quiries were answered hy tbe faithful Ellen in somewhat this wise: “My missis’ compliments/ sir, and she had u very Indifferent night," or, “My missis’ compliments, sir, and she feels very weak today.’’ One sad day when Ellen appeared with tbe breakfast her eyes were red and ber lips quivered. In response to the usnal question she sobbed out: “My missis’ compliments, sir, and she died this morning about 8 o’clock.” Youth’s Companion.

Holden, of the Iowa state Agricultural College, deserve® to lcalled a philanthropist. Iowa is a great agricultural state, and a hummer in producing corn. In favorable years that state has immense crops of corn, but the rainfall is not constant and the winds are wy strong. Often when a fine crop is growing lhe winds beat it down and spoil much of the grain. Prof. P. G. Holdeu studied the case and sought to produce a species of corn which would be less subject to these failures. He decided that a corn which produces ears close to the groimd woujd meet the requirements, and by judicious refection produced the variety needed. Then he traveled tbe state ove^. lecturing the farmers and distrib­ uting seed com. As a result the state of Iowa produced 100,000,000 bushels more of corn this year than she produc­ ed in 1903, and the farmers expect to double that increase next year. The man who accomplished this result draws a salary of $5,000 a year, atad probably there are many tax payers who consider this an exorbitant price for his services. If he had done noth ing more in his life time, he will have accomplished more for his state than atiy half dozen of its millionaires will accomplish in their lifetimes, for this year he was the means of adding 830,(XX),000 to lhe income of the farmers, and the benefit will continue indefin­ itely. Our farmer readers should avail themselves of any opportunity to get the seed for this corn. The next sea­ son may be like last fall, a dry one, and in that event the new variety would be very desirable.

Just before going to press last week we learned just a few of the particulars of the fatal accident to George Velte, of Woodland, last week Wednesday. It appears that Mr. Volte’s custom was to oil the windmill. On Wednesday he went to perform this duty, and it was then the accident occurred. The cause will never be known. It may be he slipped, or became dizzy. or a sudden turn of the mill brushed him from tbe platform. Hie niece Miss Rosa Summ saw him fall. He struck on the plank platform of the well, and on the frozen ground, and lived but 15 minutes. He was 5t» years old aud a bacbellor.making his home with his sister, Mrs. John Summ. He was a hard working mao, and one very faithful to any trust rp-z posed in him. His death came as a gn at shock lo his many friends. Hiller & Harris Furniture Co HASTINGS. MICHIGAN.

At the Friday afternoon meeting of the club a program of much excellence was presented. Mrs. Nettie VanAuken read a paper on “Religion of Japan­ Outlook for Christianity,” giving much interesting information concerning the three religions of Japan, Buddhism, Confucianism and Shintuism, and the present "religious conditions existing. Mrs. Katherine Keats favored the club with a beautifully executed piano solo. Miss Anna Johnson presented in her always interesting manner, “The Ba­ tavian Systen", which has excited much interest in educational circlet, it being a scheme dealing with the Individual instruction of the child in school, orig­ inated, or was first brought into prom­ inence by its adoption by the schools of Batavia, N. Y. and appeals to most thoughtful people as being one of the best ways to solve the vexed question of overworked teachers, and over crowded pupils. The system is in see in the schools of St Johns and West Bay City in our state. A paper on ‘‘Correlation of MjUsic with other Branches of Study/* prepared by Mrs. Archie. McCoy was read by Mrs. M. J Timmerman, the subject being pre­ sented in a most exhaustive and fin­ ished manner. Music, the writer said, had always had a place in school. No one denies its refining influence, and its refreshing, revivifying effect on the mind of the average child, but beyond that it has not been the wont of popu iar thought to go until within the last score of years, but educators are coming more and more to recognize its value as a disciplinary study and to realize its power in assisting the development of the mind and will of the child as well as his sensibility. The correlation of music with other branches of study is by no means merely a theory, but a practical poMibllty and she went on to show how music could be made to blend with almost every other study in school. The matter of the Sunday opening of the reading room was discussed, and it was voted to have it opened. The re port of the lecture course committee was very gratifying and the official fig ures of the sale of tickets, which put the club on “easy street" so far as meet­ ing the expense of the course was con­ cerned, was greeted with applause.

In response to a revolutionary clrcu• lar a great throng of men and women gathered in the Nevskl Prospeck before ■ Kazan cathedral at St Petersburg Dec. 111 to make a demonstration, iu favor of social democracy aud against the ! war. The authorities got wind of the •plan and hnd bodies of police and mounted soldiers at convenient points. Tbe crowd Included practically the whole student body of tbe capital, in­ cluding women students. At a signal, all waved red flags axxl shouted, “Down with autocracy!" Some started to sing “Maraeillaisc,” when all of a sudden the mounted troops wheeled into 'line1. and charged upon the crowd with drawn sabers. For a time the people resisted fiercely. About 200 of them ' were wounded and 100 arrested. It । was feared by the friends of Prince . Mirsky that the incident would be used as a v. capon against reform. This and ; more i ?cent outbursts In various parts ■ of Russia showed that tbe people who hoped for much from the semstvolst ; proclamation were beginning to lose < faith lu the czar’s intentions.

C. Keller, president of the National Association of Letter Carriers, and Frank Cunningham, president of the National Association of Rural Free Delivery Carriers. This action, with Presi­ dent Roosevelt’s approval, means that tbe administration seeks to break up ever?- organized effort of government employees to secure legislation for increased pay or other betterments." It had been charged by Con­ gressman Overstreet and ocher members that Cunningham had tried to t prevent their re election because they would not support the bill increasing the pay of rural car­ riers. The technical ground of Keller's dismissal was absence without leave, ns the business of his nNHcM-iatlon took him away from tbe Cleveland postoffice. to which he was attached. In an in­ terview Fourth Assistant Postmaster General Bristow said Hint if be found a carrier contrlbut* Ing money to defeat or elect any candidate for congress or toward the support of lobbyists at Washington the one so contributing would be discharged.’ Both Keller nnd Cunningham are in Washington, where they continue to represent their respective organizations.

Boy Lapham, who has been traveling ’ in lhe western states came home last J Friday night. last Saturday] after spending tbe week RAFO By FRANK M. SWEET Copyright, 1S04, by Frank H. Sweet A long line of bending figures passed up the gang plank Into the hold of the vessel, then back by another plank to tbe wharf, where they again connected with tbe line, forming an endless chain. Each link was n woman, and upon every sloping back was a bunch of bananas. , , At the wharf end of tbe gang plank a man gave a glance at the number of clusters, or “hands,” upon the bunches as they passed nnd then called out their sizes In a singsong "one-half bunch,” •‘one bunch.” "two and a halV "two,” *one and a half,” “one,” “one/^two.” nnd another man with a book upon a board placed across a barrel marked them down. In the hold two men directed the wo­ men where to place the fruit. B-uh of these were “concbs,*’ one a rough, bru­ tal looking fellow, who merely nodded directions and scowled, and the other n laughing, jesting youngster, who gave his orders by springing forward nnd Helping each woman to deposit ber bunch in Its proper place. Usually tbe women thanked him with looks or words, some pf them adding. “You good boy, Rafo,” or. “Ev’body #oln’ smile ou you if you keep on like dis.” But one link of tbe human chain there was that did not thank him with looks or words either. She was old and shrunken, with covetous, suspi­ cious eyes, and when Rafo sprang forJward she always met him with angry smarting* and would never allow him Ito touch her bunch. But not a whit difference did It make to Rafo. His Bong or laugh went on just as light neartedly as ever, andtwhen her portlon of the chain came round again be Sras waiting, as usual, with his ready teffer of help, his ready laugh and his friendly eyes. j- Just behind the old woman circled a foung girl, as young os Rafo, and beau­ tiful In spite of ber dark face and bare 'feet and tattered garments, in spite of HAFO rLKASANTLY* her bare shoulders with their burden of bananas. She was always the link in* the chain behind old Tamasa, her moth­ er, and Rafo never had time for more than one swift glance into her eyes be­ fore Tamasa bad deposited her bunch and whirled upon them with her hawk­ like eyes. It was just the same on shore at tbe Tamasa hut—the two links were al­ ways together. Tamasa loved but one thing in the world, her daughter Fana. ■Nothing whs too good for Fana, noth­ ing too high to be hoped for ber. So Tamasa’s keen eyes studied the youth whose gaze followed the link behind ber in the circling® of the endless chain, and the result of the study was made apparent in open encouragement or harsh repudiation. • At tbe gang plank Tamasa’s eyes were almost kindly, for Miguel, the scrutlnfzer of fruit, received 38 cents a day. But Pana’s gaze at that point dropped resolutely to ber feet, for Mi­ guel was ill favored aud morose. - In the ship’s hold Tamasa’s good na­ ture changed to black looks, while FaDa’s gaze rose swiftly and sweetly and happily. Rafo received bat 19 cents a ‘day, but be was handsome and blithe hearted and straightforward. i Round and round circled tbe endless tebaln, bearing its stream of bananas ‘from tbe wharf to tbe bold, and like alternating belts of sunshine and cloud tehanged tbe faces of old Tamasa and youthful Fana as they went from gang plank to t old and bold to gang plank. i Under ordinary circumstances the kang ptauk was amply wide for the loaded dutin, but Rafo’s unchanging politeness In the hold and Fana’s per­ sistent coLdness at the plank had dark­ teountenar.ee of Tamasa until at last, after they had passed the sullen Miguel., her resentment got tbe better '«C her tenderness, and she turned with t<nr Fana had not yet raised her eyew front tier feet, and the consequence or Tamasa'* checking tbe regular motion of tbe chain brought them together and swayed the bunch of bananas from its delicate balance. Fana tried to right herself, but In vain. A moment hi ter there waa a loud splash In tbe water twenty feet below, accompanied by a scream from Tnmaaa, who was peering down with wild, frightened eyes. Miguel was not ten feet away, but his face *as sullen with resentment and anger, and he made no move. Then there were a swift rush from tbe hold and a afcond splash, and Rafo’s bead ruse to tbe surface- with a merry shout of encouragement. A rope was dropped from the ves­ sel, and even as Rafo’s left arm en­ circled the' girl his right hand shot up and caught it Then he whispered something to hqr, aud, with quick intuition and courage equal to bls own, she placed her arms over his shoulders so as not to impede bis movements, and then, hand over baud, be went up lhe rope until he could swing himtu-lf across the gang plank. Lt wa- a rare exhibition of nene and musch*. and the spectators sent up an involuntary shout- of appreciation—all except Miguel aaj Tuimisfi. The old woman's face was drawn and tix-tnulous, but tbe look site east upon Rafo was as black us ever. ‘’•Comte, Fana,’.’ she whispered hoarse­ ly. -wt; W||| uoj sv>>rk any more today. We will go borne and rest.” But Fana was leaning against Rafo, milling happily. Instead of-recover­ ing from fright , she was perfectly calm. Those few moments coming up the rope, borne by the strong, confident Rafo, bad been tbe happiest of heigjife. And now, upheld by bis encircling arm, she did not care if tbe whole work!— and her mother, too—were looking. : “FnuaT sharply. "You must not stand like that. It is not proper. 1 will”“Let the little one rest," interrupted Rafo pleasantly. “Don’t you see bow weak she is. And 1 like it.” "You—like It’” screamed Tamasa, losing control of herself entirely. “You —ydu nineteen cent man! You griuuer aud jester! Oh. Miguel, come here!” But, lustend of Miguel, another man, a brisk young Englishman, pushed bls way across the gang plank toward them. “Rafo.” he called imperiously. “Here, quick! 1 want to see you. I’m In a hurry. Oh. there you are,” as be saw the group. ; "Weil, I’m sorry to disturb you, but every second is precious to me now. 1 have au Imperative summons to England to settle up au estate aud will have to be gone two years or more. I want you to take care of my flnea until I return. I’ve had you work for me, Rafc^ and know you are perfectly honest and trustworthy. What do you say? Quick! I must get my things ready and take this boat back. You will know how to cut and ship tbe bananas, and I will give you $50 a month nnd pay all the expenses. Aud, oh, yes’*—as he noticed for the flrst time the figure encircled by Rafo’s arm—"this will be a good time for you to get married. There is a comfortable bouse on the plantation you can live In. What do you say?" Rafo made him a low bow, show­ ing bls teeth. “SI, senor,” be nnswer; ed. "we will be married in twenty minutes, and yon can leave In thirty— as soon ns you have kissed the bride.” And then his merry, infectious laugh rang out so heartily tbat*all bad to join in. even Tamasa.

PIERSON & SON z-v W3ST RESTAURANTS. THey Came Into BelnK With First French Revolution. the The restaurant is of comparatively modem origin. The first French revolu­ tion, at the close of tbe eighteenth cen­ tury, witnessed Its birth. Prior to that time the best cooks were Iu the employ of the nobility, v.'iuse min threatened them with equal disaster. A happy in spirutiou, however, led them to open place's of jAibllc c ertainincnt. which leaped nt once lu. » Immense popular favor, Inasmuch ns previously, while tbe French people were endowed with the instincts of delicate cookery, they were unable to gratify their tastes through the- absence of resorts availa­ ble for the purpose. The proprietors of many of these es­ tablishments quickly acquired a wide­ spread fame and large wealth. Coin­ cident with the birth of tbe restaurant in France, an immense Impulse was given to the publication of popular treatises on tbe art of cookery com­ posed by tbe most famous cooks. These were rapidly disseminated among the » people, who, gifted with a natural gen­ ius for gastronomy, promptly availed of the new sources of knowledge to perfect themselves In an art of which they have become the foremost expo­ nents of the world. Among these pub­ lications was the “Almnnacb des Gour­ mands.” established in- 1804, one of the classics of qnlinary learning.

GENEROUS CHRISTMAS GIFT Chester, and Richard leaser Mak* Present of Nice House and L ot to Walter Frost The past summer and fall, Chester and Richard Messer built a very nice house on the lot they bought of the A. Black estate, on West Renter Street It was generally presumed they built it to rent. But they had another plan in mind. For on Christmas day they gave the deed of the property to Walter Frost, who for many years has so faith­ fully looked after the work about, their residence property, keeping things in shape, caring for the lawns, the hotreea etc. Ab those who know him under­ stand. Walter’s defective eyesight pre­ vents his doing most kinds of work, for which he would be otherwise ^apabieu But fie has not allowed himself to get unhappy on that account. On the con­ trary, he has cheerfully done the work he could do, and done his very best at it. That he has been both faithful and successful is shown by the Christmas remembrance from his employers, it speaks much in praise of the latter that they have so generously shown their appreciation, and no doubt they Were as happy in giving as Walter was in re­ ceiving this gift. Mr. and Mrs. W. IL. Frost. Walter’s father and mother, witli whom he makes his home, are now liv­ ing in Walter’s Christmas present, and a fine home it makes. The location Isvery good, and the house is nicely finish­ ed throughout, and very convenient for a home.

These qualities iwerftshown in the matter of planning for Christmas, Ln order to give her seholr are the best possible idea of the meaaingTof ’ the day, she arranged for the class to prepare gifts for Lhe inmates of the county house. Accordingly they bought some candies and nuts and made popcorn balls and cakes, and put them in neat packages. Overseer John Lichty was notified, and gladly arranged to transport the gifts of the class to the county farm, which he did . Saturday. Christmas eve Mr. Lichty dressed upas Santa Claus,and distribu­ ted the gifts to the county wards, who were assembled In the dining room. It was an occasion none of those present will ever forget. As the gifts were handed out. there was happiness worth ■seeing. -Some who hadueach^d <<0 or 70 years had never seen a Santa Claus be­ fore, and were delighted beyond meas­ ure. It can be safely assumed that no recipients of Christmas day gifts, no matter what their value, were happier than the inmates of the county house over the Christmas remembrance from Miss Johnson and her clast ■ PRYOR-JONES Miss Nellie Pryor Weddedjo Mr. !r’ ^win Jones-At the Heme of " the Bride.] | , 2 There was?a* quiet wtddiDg"at*The home of Mr. and Mrs. Frank” Pryor in the fourth ward yesterday ^fhrreon, when in the presence of relatives and * very few intimate friends of lhe bridfs Miss.

EDUCATIONAL Interstate Commerce Report. The Interstate commerce commission In its report submitted to congress con­ tends that the successful regulation of commerce for which the commission was created depends upon the effective publication and correction of existing rates. Attention is called to the fact that legislation Is necessary to confer power over freight rates and to make the orders of the commission effective. The commission does not aim to create tariff schedules, but merely to retires,,-, transportation wrongs shown to exist after bearing all the affocted Interests.. Evils of the private car system in de­ ranging freight rates are .pointed out. It is suggested th a f the car line compa­ nies lie brought under thejcommission. The terminal railroad is also believed to be "a dangerous means of giving preference to favorite persons.” In view of the large uumbiir of deaths and Injuries from railroad accidents during the last year the commission aguin urges the adoption of the block system.

Each jiinn of the world, each 1s handsouu aud tach Is apparently determin* ed. The story In whteh they are concern­ ed, which sounds like an adventurou. tale of- oldeu days, came u> light the" other day. Three handsome, fashionably attired men were discussing politics and kin­ dred subjects on Park row. They had stood together for nearly an hour and were about to separate when a tall stranger, a dark complexioned man, wearing a black alpine hat. black slothing and silver rimmed glasses, ap­ proached them. Lifting ids glasses with bis left band and at the same time putting bls‘right hand into the pocket ot his short top coat, the stranger gazed Intently, but without fierceness. Into the eyes of one qf the trio. He stood for a moment without speaking, wplle the man thus silently mUlressed puled visibly.

I Tbe two onlookers watched the men la i amazement. The stranger, pint king the muscles of ids face together, remarked: "I believe you are a liar, but I will satisfy myself before dealing with you. You will see me again.’’ Then tlie stranger walked away to­ ward the brldge entrance. Before going further it may be well to tell something about the mnn whose lense of life .ippeared indeed slim for a few seconds to Ids two companions. He Is a painter, and a good one. and has a stud! ) on the west side above Thirtieth street. Almost any day he can be met on Park row or in that vi­ cinity.

He has made several fortunes with bis brush, and bis pictures hang In the bouses df many members of New York’j most select society.. For the purposes of this article it is not necessary that his name should be j mentioned, but unless many signs ut| terly fall It Is only a question of a few days when it will be made known.

The birds usually weigh, from five to eight pounds each and sell in New York, and Boston at from IS to fit) cents pet pound, those marketed from February to April usu­ ally bringing close to the latter price, these fowls being largely preferred to capons, which for a long time were the only gnod j»oultry to be bnd, aside from broilers, after the holidays, and the price for soft roasting chickens is usually higher than the capons.

Two V shaped troughs, each five feet long, are placed on the floor against the wall under the rear of the drop­ pings board. . To the middle of tbe roost farthest from the wall is attached a half inch rope, which is passed through a pulley on the wall above and furnished with a ring at Its other end. By grasping this ring the roosts and platform are pulled up and folded back against the wall, where they are out of the way. and no birds can roost upon it in the daytime. The ring may be. slipped over a hook screwed to the underside of the, platform to bold the fixture in place. The pintform is sprinkled each even­ ing with sawdust and slaked lime, so that when It is raised In the morning the droppings slide off Into tbe troughs and are easily removed. This fixture folded up leaves the en­ tire door free from Incumbrance for a scratching room. The cost of making is not heavy and the labor of cleaning is somewhat reduced.

"One day he walked into my office, and I recognised him at once as an out of town contractor who had been putting in some sewers for our city. He had, I knew, done the work well, but had had some difficulty with the councils, who were holding up bls bill. Without a word he handed mo a check for |100. “ ‘What’s that for? I asked. “ ’That,’ said be, ’is your retainer.” “ ‘And what do you want me to do?” “ ‘I want you to eome along with me to the meeting of the councils tonight. You know I have a bill against the city. It would take more time than either ot us has to explain the ease now, but I am in the right, and I know my argument All I want is the help of a well known lawyer’s presence. I’ll Bo all the talking.

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.
