Even In throe =.z*' tinues: Industrial plants are well employed, order* running far into the future, anti . labor cotUruvrrsie* are rare. Jrt»e only advene feature of the Mtuatian isih* fact that supplies of fuel are utterly hiadequote, both for household nud manufac­ turing uses, anoer increasing th* delay in deliveries. Railway earning* thus far re­ ported fur December exceed last gear’s by 4.2 per cent and those of HkJO by 10.4 per cent. Two events of importance have occur­ red in relation to the leading tuantrfucturing Industry. The United StsSr* Steel Corporation hns greatly extended its scope by absorbing many outside plants nnd certain desirable railway cunncvtiuua. The other was the announwuicnt of ad­ vanced freight rate* to take effect Jun. 1. allowing an average increase of mImhiI 10 per cent on products of iron nnd steel. Otherwise the fitnation is practically un­ changed, The largest producer having over 5.28U.0U0 tons of unfilled orders on its books, snd work is being pushed a» rap­ idly as supplies of fuel and material will permit. . Supplies of coke do not increase nnd many .furnace* are idle.

From the one ex­ treme of L>eccmbvr. 1893. when there were millions <>f dollars seeking profitabl* employment at lowest rates of interest, while the holders yet feared to let it out, hard times prevailed and the coun­ try languished. to the other extreme of December, 1902. when the need of money is so great that there is scarcely enough of It obtainable du the busintss of the country, is a far remove. Conditions could not be more sharply contrasted. The stress of money scarcity has been more severe this year because the country’ll the more prosperous, and for this reason there may be a continu­ ance of the present situation longer into the new year than uaunl. but matter* will right themselves eventually. When the figures for 1901 are compil­ ed. it will be found that in all lines of commerce we have done more than in th* previous year. The one item of over­ shadowing importance on the reverse side is the enormous falling off in exports of corn. We did not have the corn to sell abroad. The coming year will are a great change. We arc already beginning to catch up, end will finally wipe out the unfavorable showing due to the corn crop failure of one year. The wheat market remains in waiting. Tl»e price tendency is not clearly defined. A multitude of arguments on the bear side were brought out during the week, and in conaqueuce moderate decline* were forced. May wheat sagged off frac­ tionally. yet it cannot be said that there Li any less confidence in the market for a long pull.

I EVOLUTMM AND INFLUEWE OF THE CARTOON. Thfre I* no telling when the art of caricature begun. There arc a number of grotesques that have come down to u* from rartiest Egyptian times. The .Greeks employed pictures to emphasize , their satire, and so did the Bomans. All through the Middle Ages there were numberless example* of "grotesqueriea.” wl|.lch, curiously enough, were used In enforcing the doctrines of the Church byYneans of satirising the devil. But the eighteenth century was the heyday of the cartoon. Beginning In France, tbomah hast. nnd overrunning into Holland, and thence across the Channel Into England, the flood of cari­ caturists carried everything before it; and It Is safe to say that we read the hlstory.of the time with clearer virion and with more accuracy of detail for the mirror which the carieatwlris held up to reflect the striking peculiarities of the men nnd events pusring before it. Gautier mentioned a SjMinlrii cartoonist. Francisco Gaya y Luclentes. a mix­ ture of Rembrandt, Watteau and Rabelais, who preceded the two great caricaturists of the latter half of the eigh­ teenth century; George Cruikshank. tn England, and Mons. Charlec, In France. - . It has been reserved for America, however, to bring forth a new race of caricaturists, which, for lack of a bet­ ter title, may be called the personal cartoonists—men who seize upon'the characteristics of nn Individual and so ex,aggerate them that the subjects of tbe cartoons are known by tbe most prominent features In their physical, mental or moral make-up. Perhaps we Americans look at the droll side of life more thafl other people, but certain it ls^«re have more and better cartoonist* than elsewhere. The very quick­ ness with which we see the point of a joke demands equal facility In portraying drollery in n cartoon.. We sketch boldly and leave much of the unnecessary detail to our slower cousins. Then. too. our public events happen with ■ such startling rapidity that a cartoon of yesterday's do­ ings would he flat to-day. and we must keep very much alive and lx* ready for a political change over night. In other words, tbe alert American must have depleted In his cartoon the very' traits of character that have made him what he is—the quickest and brightest of men. HOW HUSBANDS AND WIVES DRIFT APART. —j Despite tbe romantic and affectionate element* K In it, much of marriage resolves itself into a com­ monsense partnership. If people odly realized gj this there would be fewer liquidations In love K and bankruptcies In matrimony. If women were F not so fond of hugging grievances and thinking JL themselves martyrs for nothing at all. few marrled folk would "drift apart.'' A woman thinks her husband has Blighted her. Perhaps he baa Anyway. if she thinks he haa it's Just as bad from her point of view ns If he really had. Sometimes she say noth­ ing. Sometimes she says too much! . In the first case she goes about with a sense of Injury smarting within her. Of course. If she Is in this frame of mind, she is naturally on the lookout, for more slights and injuries. And It is tso easy always to find what we look for. Presently her heart swells with all the Indignities and martyrdom »he thinks she has been subject to. Per­ haps tbe whole situation haa arisen from a misunderstand­ ing; and Jack or Jim would be horrified could be see the big mountain Of martyrdom which has arisen from the molehill of that careless action or sentence of hlz. Now, we will, take the case of tbe wife who does not fy A VEGETARIAN CHURCH. It may not be known to many thut there la n Vegetarian Church, whose chief tenet is that men should eat no meat. Thfts church has only one meet­ ing house in America nud only forty members here. In England it has only one meeting house, and only seventyfive members. And yet It is a church nearly 100 years old. Its Americnn meeting house is In Pblladelphbi. nnd its American leader is Rev. Henry 8. Clubb, nn old-time friend of Horace Greeley. In 1807 an Englishman, Rev. W. Cowherd of Manciieater. founded this branch of the Bible Christiana, and to­ day. after the passage of nearly 100 years, they are still existent, and are •till almost unknown. In their two churches—the English one. In Man­ chester. and the American one In Philadelphia—It Is j>os*lble to see little children whose father* and mothers, grandfathers and grandmothers, and whose great-grandfathers and great­ grandmothers never once in their lives tasted meat; little children are as ig­ norant of the taste of meat as ordinary THE VEUETAXIAX CHURCH. person, are ignorant of the taste of "human AcsIl For vegetarianism ta the chief article of their creed. With their century of abstinence from meat they afford a good example •of tbe effect of vegetarianism un man­ kind. Their records, which appear io have l>een kept carefully, cover alxtut 390 CBMt. and show that: Tbe average longevity of a metnner of the net Is 81. He is not tn his old age obliged to re­ sort to false teeth. Hl* eye* is seven case* out nt ten to the nonml brood silently over a fancied wrong. She' belongs to lhe type which says too mncii. Temper* on both aides are aruused. and each gives utterance to rather harsh senti­ ments. which neither really feels.' A ‘'misunderstanding** arises, and who can say where It will end? Few among us quarrel with those we love.over things timt really matter. As a rule great crises in our Uvea, real troubles, and deep sorrows draw ua much closer to those with whom we share them. It Is tbe little nagging trifles, the crisa-croases. and trivialities over which estrangements and deep resentments arise. FINANCIAL ADVERSITY AHEAD. I am not one of those fellow* who cross their bridges before they come to them, "alarmists." I think you call them. I am disposed to be cheerful about most things. But I can't see anything In the present financial situa­ tion to cause me to do any rejoicing. Things look serious. They are; bad al­ ready. and, what's more to the point. they are destined to grow "worse. This country has reached the top of Its prosperity. If the serious downward move­ ment haa not already begun. It is not far off. There are more reasons than one for this; chief among them is the uncertain state of mind In which the New York men find themselves from day to day. Uncertainty is tbe worst thing on earth for the moneyed interests of a coun­ try. One does not need to look to Wall street for support of this opinion. Tight money is not felt there.alone. The manufacturing districts are suffering already. Their suf­ fering will Increase as things grow worse. Good evidence can be found, too, among builders. Where they 'were re­ ceiving orders for five buildings a year ago they are lucky If they are getting one to-day. Of course. I am not saying that my opinion la held by everybody. Probably a good many men who have positive fdeaa alx>ut things would fiaxly contradict everything I have said, but there arc many people who agree with me CAPITAL AND LABOR SHOULD AGREE. Organization of capital has come to stay, just as organized labor nas come to stay, and for the same reason—it Is necessary. You cannot separate the in­ terests of capital and labor. If It is good for one to be organized for any puri>ose, it Is good for the other for the same reason. They are both good and - /i vs necel,sary ns applied to our conditions * J to-day and our development for the fu­ ture. Tbe combination of capita! has ' m. A. HAXNA. brought to our industrial institutions greater economic results; it has brought an Increase In trade and higher wages to the laborer. As capital Is or­ ganized and produces beneficial results, labor, which was organized many year* before, will be the first to feel and recognize Its effects. We must strive to bring the different factions together upon the ground that both Bides want to do what is right In its early days organized labor went upon the theory that the only way to settle labor difficulties was to strike, but it is my theory that It Is Incoming recognized that there Is a better way to nettle such differences. My theory is that If you bring men together In a way to make them know each other and If you appeal to the bend and the heart you establish a bond between the two factions that cannot be broken. We should remember the Golden Rule and try to Hv® up to Its principle. This is the only way that I know to settle the dispute between capital and labor. GOLF IN THE PARLOR. OLIER8 who desire to play their favorite game in a parlor can now Hj? do so, a quick-witted Inventor having fashioned the necessary appara­ tus. This apparatus, or game, consists of a board, a cup and obstruc-' tlons which represent bunkers. The board is of flexible fabric, and has an elastic surface, and on It are marks indicating a golf course. The cup repre­ sents one of the holes, and extends above the surface of the board, and the latter, when not in uw, is so constructed that It can be rolled or folded into a small compass. In a game of this kind a disk te used Instead of a ball, and the aim of each player Is to get it over the course and obstructions and into the cup. Croquet, cricket and even baseball have been played iu par­ lors, and there is no reason why golf should not prove equally attractive. demand, never approaching either to corpulence or to emaciation. He la singularly free from rbenntatism and dyspepsia. Dr. Cowherd, founder of the church, was a Bwedenborgiau. and held that meat eating was nt tbe base of the crime of the world. It made men cruel nnd because they slaughtered animals dally they were blind to the wrong of slaughtering their fellows by tbe bullet in warfare and by the noose in crim­ inal law.

LBN W. FEIGHNER, PUBLISHER. Tbe first preliminary meeting U> ef­ fect an organization was held Dec. 15, 1888. The first board of directors was composed of I- E. Knappen uf Grand JANUARY 2. 1903 Rapids. .X’. D. Beebe and Clement FRIDAY, I Smith of Hastings. G. A. Truman, VV. i H. Kleinhans, C. W. Smith and F. C. Boise of Nashville. The doors of the bauk were first opened .tar business on January 15, 1889, its first president being C. D. Beebe atd it# first vice president F. C. Boise. C. A. Hough «/. C. Furniss Additional Local News was elected cashier April 5, 1889, and has held the position to lhe present time. This article is not written for the purpose of throwing any bouquet# to Mr. Hough, but it is only justice to that gentleman to say in passing that it is largely due to his good judgment and consistent business methods, as well as to his thorough and untiring attention to business that the institu­ tion has proven such an unqualified, success in lhe financial world. He is always al his post, is an indefatigable worker, and is always pleasant and courteous to the patrons of the bank. The bank was granted a charter by the State of Michigan under the gen­ eral banking law on May 11,1889. On Dec. 12th of that year F. C. Boise re­ tired from tbe vice president's chair, being succeeded by G. A.Truman. On Feb. 25, 1892, Mr. Beebe resigning the presidency, was succeeded by W. H. Kleinhans, who held the office until the retirement of G. A. Truman from active commercial business, when, at the annual meeting beld January 8th, 1901, Mr. Truman was elected presi­ dent and C. W. Smith vice president. The business has had a steady growth from tbe time of it# ; or­ ganization until lhe present, when Im deposits show tbe pretty figure of 8217,000, loans 8190,000, cash reserve 858,000. and total re»orccs of 8255,000. The bank owns its own banking building, and its officets are now con­ templating making extensive office im­ provements*. The present board of directors con­ sists of the following gentlemen: G. A. Truman, C. W. Smith, W. H. Kleinhans, H. R. Dickinson and S.F. Hinch­ man. The present officers are G. A. Truman president, C. W. Smith- vice president, C. A. Hough cashier. During the more than fourteen years since the establishment of the bank, it has enjoyed the confidence of the people to u remarkable degree, due, deservedly, to the high character and integrity of the gentlemen who have had control of its affairs. It has never been subjected to a'"run,” has always been ns accommodating as j-uch an institution can safely be, and has never yet missed paying a depos­ itor ou demand.even during the trying times of 1893, when many banks closed their doors, and many more wfcre com­ pelled to ask their depositors to ex­ tend them leniency. V\*e doubt if there is a bank In Mich­ igan which can show a better or clean­ er record, or which bus more flrm friends or enthusiastic supporters. The community is to be congratulated ou the possession of so splendid an in­ stitution, and should do ail in its pow­ er to further its continued prosperity, ( which ..it has in every way richly dei served.

First farmer—I ain't a going to sell my logs to the Nashville Cooperage Co. Second farmer—Why not? First farmer—Weil my timber is woth more cut into wood. Second farmer—Bnw much do you get for your wood? First farmer—I get two dollars & cord for dry bard maple nnd one and a half for all dry soft wood. Second farmer—How many feet of timber is there in rf cord of wood? -•First farmer--! dun no. Second farmer—A cord of wood is eight feet long, four reel high and six­ teen inches in length. If a eord of wood was in one solid piece of timber there would be exactly five hundred and twelve square feet pf timber in your cord. By making a safe estimate for the holes in an oral nary cord of wood we will say that 333 feet of the cord is solid timber and the balance 179 feet is holes. Tills makes your cord of wood about oue part of holes and two parts ot limber and if it is any holler than that St is certainly more holy than righteous. Therefore if your cord of wood is cut out of fair logs you are spoiling a thousand feel of good timber every time you get three cords of wood After waiting one year you haul the wood to the village and hunt around to And a-buyer at $2 per cord and get six dollars for your wood a part of the time giving credit there­ fore. It costa you fifty cents per cord to get the wood cut and fifty cents a cord to get same hauled, total for throe cords three dollars. Subtracting this expense from the six dollars originally received and you get ex­ actly three dollars for your timber. Upon the other hand if your wood had been cpt into logsyvu would come out as follows: One thousand feet of hard maple logs delivered at the mill yard would b. ing you u cheek upon the Farmers' und .Merchants' bank at once for eleven dollars. Your ex­ penses to be taken therefrom are as •'follows. Cutting same, seventy five cents. Hauling same, three d<»lam per thousand. Total. 83 75. Balance, in your pocket 87.75. Giving you a net profit out of your t>rnl»er per; thousand feel in excess for what you would get for your wood of 82.75, with far 'ess trouble n handling same.

Henri Pommier, assist ant engineer on the steamship La Champagne, has secur­ ed promotion by an act of heroism sel­ dom equaled in the annal£of tho sea. At the risk of his own life lie saved the life of a comrade, and then, by hanging head down in the funnel of the big boat many feet above the roaring furnace, he fixed a broken damper and prevented, delay and possible injury to the vessel. A greaser who had been ordered to open the big damper which had beconje clog­ ged in the futmel wna overcome by the gas and lost consciousness. Pommier, seeing him' from the deck in Imminent peril of tumbling down the funnel into the fire below, climbed to his assistance nnd brought him to the deck, where lie was revived. Pommier then returned to tbe funnel and fastening a wet sponge to his nose permitted a comrade to hold him by the ankles head down, and with • the ship tossing like a cork and the fierce flames straight below him, be fixed the damper and waa pulled out. He h?s been promoted to be a foil engineer. CHEROKEES ASK FOR LAND. The commission to the fivo civ|Uzcd tribe* has opened it* land offices hi the Cherokee nation.

The conductor happened to enter, and a* he did so tbe xnan. wearing a mask, jumped from a dark corner of the car and with drawn revolver commanded Keeno to hold up his hands. Instead,of doing so, the con­ ductor grappled with the robber. A pis­ tol ball stunned Keene, and the rubber pulled the bell cord, but before’the train stopped the highwayman held up Joseph Redford, the Pullman conductor, and J. E. Moore, a passenger, taking $25 from the Iptter. As the train slowed down tho robber jumped off, but was followed by Keene, who had secured a Winches­ ter. nnd emptied the rifle at the retrentIng burglar.

Take* a Freak end “Shoot* Up” Town . of Sheridan, Wyo. “Calamity Jane-," »vho*o name was a byword iu the West in the early days, has brokun out again after a period of quiet. She made her appearance in Sheridan, Wyo‘., the other day and at qnce proceeded to load up with liquid en­ thusiasm. After a short course of this p»«timo the old habit of “shooting up the town” took possession of her and for a time the streets of Sheridan were de­ serted I by everybody except "Calamity Jane." After her ammunition had run out the town marshal took her in charge. She was put on board the first train ahd shipped out of town. Some two year* ago a Buffalo woman took Jane east to end her days in peace and plenty, but the life of an eastern city was too tame for a woman who had fought Indian* and “plain*” whisky for years, and she came back to her old haunts.

During a blinding snowstorm at 5 o’clock in the afternoon two trains on the Pennsylvania system collided on the main street of Ada. Ohio. Three per­ rons are dead and fourteen or more in­ jured, one fatally,' as the result of th* accident The accident was one of the worst that ever occurred on that division of the I’eniujylvania system. Train No. 35, west bound for Fort Wayne, had started out of the station, but at (he main street crossing was compelled to «top by an accident to the air brakes. A flagman was sent back to notify No. 19, a fast train going in tho same direction, which was several minute* late. On ac­ count of the snowstorm tbe engineer on No. 19 was unable to see the signal in time to slacken speed, and his engine, running forty mile* an hour, crashed Into the rear of coach No. S3. The latter train consisted of two coaches, tbe rear one being a combination baggage and passenger car, with another passenger car in front Both were telescoped and scarcely a passenger escaped injury of some sort Hundred* in Fire Panic. One of the most disastrous fire* in lhe history of London. Ont., occurred in the big plant of the McClary Manufacturing Company. A boy working in tbe stamping department dropped a burning match into an oil vat and with a report like a»cannou the oil burst in a sheet of flame and spread over the first floor. The employe* rushed from the building in a panic. The loss is $300,000. Blind from Face Powder. Miss Nellie Sullivan, a nurse, whii-j weeping nt the funeral of her grand­ mother in Middlebury, Vt., brushed pome face powder into her eyes with her handkerchief. A few days later sbo-.became blind and went to a hospital. It i* stated that the powder hid ruined the sight of one eye and there was but little hope of saving the other. Give* «1,500,000 Hospital.

The new process bids fair tb make at least bait aa much money as Mr. Gripp figured on. Bobby Walter* is one of the steady workers In,the mill. He earns more than sufficient to maintain himself and his mother, and bids fair to make a go-ahead mar.. Nickerson, who availed himself of the chance to buy a share in the mill,' says he has lost the incentive necessary to make a man chief justice of the United States. A man who has more money than he can use, Nickerson argues, ia Dot as ambitious as a poor young lawyer. Jack Jones ia manager of tbe new mill, and a model manager he has proved him­ self. (The end.) A Fly tn tbe Ointment. In one of hla “Roundabout Papera" Thackeray tells the story of the Abbe Kakatoes. who told the company at supper one night how the 'first confes­ sion he ever received was from a murderer. Presently enters to supper tho Marquis de Croquemltaine. “Parbleu, abbe!" says the brilliant mar­ quis. taking a pinch of snuff. “Are you here? Gentlemen and ladies. I was tbe abbe’s first penitent, and I made him a confession which I promise you astonished him." A coincidence somewhat less startling, but still not lacking in dramatic possibilities, was recently noted in tbe Boston Herald. A Boston lawyer was returning to bis home one evening af­ ter an arduous day's work at the old Middlesex Sessions. He bad been de­ fending a pickpocket charged with stealing a valuable gold wateb. By keen eross-ejanfilMtidn and an elo­ quent api»eal to tbe jury he bad raised a doubt, the benefit of which wtt giv­ en to tbe prisoner, and the lawyer was going home tired but well pleased with himself. Presently his client came up with him. The man was profuse in hla thanks, qnd os be said good-by, be quietly slipped tbe “valuable gold watch" into his counsel’s hand. The feelings of the lawyer may be Imagined, for he bad conscientiously believed the man to be innocent. That Haytian Captain. Rebel and seml-plrate though he was. the Haytian Admiral Kilik-k seems to have been somewhat of a black horo. after all. The details of the destruction of the Crete-a-Pierrot gives to KlUick what little honor thgre wns In the affair. He deliberately gave up his life for his cause, and tiiat is the highest sacrifice any man can make for any cause, good or bad. When the German commander de­ manded tbe surrender of his vessel, it appears that Killick put his crew off the ship, drove It as nearly alongside the German gunboat as he could and then fired the magazine, hoping that its ’ destruction would overwhelm hla enemy niso. The plan failed. Tha German drew away fur enough to es­ cape injury, and then turned Its gurjf on the burning hulk of the Haytbcn vessel—a somewhat inglorious proceed­ ing. .

'; me to a realization that it was indeed j J ; a playhouse but on Its stage tragedy I [ and crime played n conspicuous part. I • My childhood dreams had a rude j i awakening. One morning, as I wks busy at work in my little garden, 1 uus startled by thesharp clatter 6f horse's feet, coming down the street. Tbe easy, graceful rider was Harry Derbin, a young, man of our town. He was, indeed, a man to be envied, being endowed with everything to make his life a success. He was hand­ some,. popular and wealthy, and re port said, soon to be married to a love­ ly girl-in a neighboring town. , 1 mw. from his flashing eyes that something was' terribly wrong. In ’ an instant he had dashed up to the' blacksmith door across the street, and I with a few words I could not hear, ' leveled his pistol at the blacksmith’s head. The poor f< How begged piteous­ ly for mercy, but without a tremor or one relenting glance, young Der­ bin fired, and the unfortunate man fell to the ground with a groan. 1 wa* rooted to the spot in horror and liMnazenient. but my eye* refused ■ to leave the man. who could by one act of ungovernable passion,cast aside all thought of his future aud wreck a life so full of promise as hia. With a glance at his prostrate vic­ tim. he coolly placed his revolverback in his pocket, aud rode off down the street. As he passed me by, he glanced down at my trembling little figure a* if to say: "Well, did you see it, little one?" and my throbbiTtg heart, an­ swered: "Yes, I, and only 1. and your Maker saw the deed.” Then, as a I crowd came rushing up the street, । dazed and trembling. I turned and | went into the house—not the happy, I careless child that came out, but one blindly Confused at thia first' glimpse of tragedy in the world’s playhouse. Upon investigation it proved that the motive for the teed, while ex­ tremely aggravating, did not justify the taking of a man’s life. The black­ smith had struck Henry Derbln’s little brother for some mischievous prank in his shop, but this was too much for the proud, fiery spirit of the elder brother, and nothing but the5 man’s life would pay the penalty. He was promptly arrested, and for a time there was great excitement, but after awhile the tumult subsided and, owing to his popularity and the fact that be was the moving spirit in the town’s enterprises, public opin­ ion soon began to lean very much in his favor. Hearing the matter discussed so often, I soon began to consider him aa my persecuted hero, but consoled myself that I was the only one who •aw the shot fired. But I wm bewil­ dered when father brought home one day my summons as the principal wit­ ness in the case. I did not then realize what it meant, although father very solemnly told me as we went to the courthouse that "a man’s life-was in my hands,” and that I must “tell the truth and nothing but the truth,” about what I saw on that terrible day. He led me into the crowded courtroom, and I searched in vain among the sea of faces for that of my hero. I tremblingly obeyed the call to the witness stand, and at last saw the pale, handsome, face of tbe man whom my simple words would con­ demn. There he sat with his mother, sweetheart, money and friends on one side of his scale of«destiny, but alas! soon to be overbalanced by the law, my testimony and justice. Hi* glit­ tering eyes were fixed upon me as if to say: .“Be merciful, little girl; you know not what you do." The tears streamed down my face, and between my soba I told my simple story, which must have carried conviction with it. for the jury had been out of the room only a few moments when they re- '[ turned with the verdict- of “guilty." 1 and auu then, IUVU. as «*!» t-he WHC judge JUUHO thundered lUUllUCITU out MUI j th. ..ntene# ttet H.nr, Derbin »». te bun( b, tb« neck until be w.. dead, deed, de.d” I re.lt.ed th.t tbl> . man’, life bad indeed been planed In Bv hand, .childhood home MYquiet little country found health and courage regained aa the result of the use of Doctor Pierce!* Favorite.

I saw a room­ ful of lads nnd lassies going through the pretty dance one day last week, and after the romping two-step tbe stately “dnnzon" is a thing of delight, it Is almost os slow as a minuet, nnd a girl who spent last winter In Cuba tells me that one can dance It all night In a space not larger than a good-sized dining table. It Is danced In couples and so far as a lay mind can make out, it Is simply a very, very slow waltz with a curious swaying motion of the Ixxly, saVs a writer in the Washington Post The children In the dancing class dance it to the mnslc of "La Palomo.” and now and then there comes a pause, during which time the •lancers stand In their places aud chat The girl who spent the winter In Ha­ vana says that the pauses In the danzon are the only times the well-bred Cuban girl ever has to speak to a man lieyond her chaperone’s ear range, and that the Cuban girl likes tbe dance for that very reason.

Tbo first convention whb held in Ypsi­ lanti fifty years ago and this session wm commemorative of that eyent. At 2 o'dock Monday afternoon President C. L. Bemis rapped the convention to order and after a few introductory remarks, Miaa Belle Brewster rendered a solo; Mayor Baum then welcomed the visitors to the city nnd a fitting response was made by Prof. Bemis. Tho Glee Club of the East Side High School then ren­ dered n aeleetion. Daniel Putnam, emeritus professor of psychology and pedagogy of the Michi­ gan State Normal College, spoke on the educational condition to 1850 and tho be­ ginning of th* association. “Some of the Early Active Member* of the Associa­ tion" was the subject delivered by Austin George, 'superintendent of schools at Ypsilanti. Hou. H. R. Pnttengill of Lansing told "Some Things Which the Association Has Been Influential to Accomplishing,'’ and Hon. dJelos Fall, State snperintendent of public instruction, delivered an address on "Present Educational Condi­ tions in the State nnd tbe Work of tbe Association Today."

At 0 o’clock tho City Federation of Women’s Clubs tendered a reception to the visitors in the parlors of the Ma­ sonic Temple. ’ The second day’s ocsoion proved in­ tensely interesting to the large numl»cr present. The morning session wns open­ ed by music by an eighth-grade chorus from west side schools, led by Miss Kata M. Cherry. P. J. Wilson, superintendent of school* nt Adrian, road a paper, "The Fondameutals' of an Education.” He «aid thnt in speaking of moral and religious training In our schools he might be treading ou dangerous ground, but he believed that training Is of vastly great­ er importance thnn anything else in onr education. He spoke of the value of th* Bible, Haying that if there wns only this book left.* ita principle* nnd precepts would make good citizens. "Then why,” he asked, "shruld’the Bible no£ be reuA in the aehools?” Superintendent W. M. Andrus of Pe­ toskey discussed the question, there be­ ing no general discussion. Music by tho east side high school orchestra was fol­ lowed by the address of Orville T. Bright, ex-superintendent of the Cook County, Ill., schools. Mr. Bright’s lecture was illustrated by the stereopticon and was highly Interesting and Instructive, his subject t>eing “The Country School Problem.” He showed the need of at­ tractive grounds for country schools, showing pictures representative of the genera! run, showing the buildings locat­ ed on bleak and barren spot*, and then photograph* of comfortable farm house* in the vicinity of these schools, built among immense trees, sheltered and shad­ ed on every aide. Then he referred to the school buildings themselves, some of them in continuous n*e for fifty years, with no hnprovementa for the comfort of the inmates. One thing especially needed is better ventilation. A lack of literature In rural schools should be corrected and the kinds of pV tures thnt should be hung in the rooms were thrown on the canvas. Pictures of the various bird* that nre seen to this climate were told about, and be said that he never. allowed n bird’* egg to 'be brought Into the school. He thought tbe children should be taught to love birds and dogs, and to referring to the picture of a child feeding n squirrel, said: "One such pet would revolutionize a whole school.” The election of officers resulted ns fol­ lows: President.

Wheat wns, as usual, the leader nnd the selling price bad a wide fltietaption, the lowest point touched for the year being DSVi cents in August and the highest being 95 cents in September, while <he extremes in 1901 were 63% and 79% cent*. There wns a gootl deal of bull feeling during the year under review on the reported poorer crop in thi» country and tlie world over—in quality only—lhe strong feeling in stocks nnd the general prosperity, and it was ar­ gued thnt tlie higher prices in securities should be reflected in wheat. This. How­ ever. did not fully materialize. The ex­ ports were smaller than those of the pre­ vious year. Corn ruled firm throughout the year and prices averaged higher. Thi» was due largely to the smell crop gather­ ed in 1901. The crop in 1001 was nearly 730.000.000 lex* thnn that of the year before, or L522.000.000 bushels, as com­ pared with 2,264.000,000 bushels the year previous, and higher prices follow­ ed.

In<iiitry Reveals n Combine af Roads with Independents. From the statements made Itefore the Senate committee in Washington that is investigating the coal shortage it is now evident that the independent operators are in -league with the coal rond* in boosting the, price of-coal far above its normal value. Absolute jiroof of conspiracy is still lacking, but n circumstantial case, based on the adtnissioim of George F. liner, the testimony of coal dealers and the price of anthracite. Indicates that the in­ dependent operators, after forcing the truat operators to permit the abrogation of contracts, are now dictating price*; that the coal trust, daring not to charge excessive prices, is holding back coal from the big mines and allowing the in­ dependent operators'to-snpply the mar­ ket, the trust taking its profits by in­ creasing the freight vates. The indejiendents ore levying nny price they may agree upon aud their agents meet each day and fix a price. Tlie trust gains its share of the *polk by abiding to the freight rate* ns fast as the inde­ pendents add to tbe price to the consum­ er. The indeiwndents are left in con­ trol of the markets of New York nnd New-England attd, with city bidding against city for coal, the price made in New York is reflected all over the coun­ try. In Chicago the retail coal dealers are arrayed against the mine owners and oth­ ers that control the fuel output through wholesale agents. They have decided to bring »uh* for damages. Many families have appealed to the police for enough fuel to prevent them front suffering from tiw cold. Police and-other report* show thousands of families tn be without suffi­ cient fuel.

It was a greeting from the |»eoplv of Hawaii to Clarence IL Mafkny, president ot the Cable company, congratulating him upon the completion of the cable. The line is now open for public business. The opening of this cable line marks a great step in lhe work of connecting the Unitci! States with it* island possessions. The next step is to lx* the completion of lhe cable between Honolulu and the Phil­ ippines. The cable to Australia ha* been in operation aixi-.it live work*, with most satisfactory result* from n busiucM stand)M>int. A midway station, in an uninhabited and hitherto unknown teland in the Pa­ cific between Hawaii and Guam, is the greatest obstacle yet «n«-onniervd. The Island is listed nx "Midway island," and except for millions of birds is unin­ habited. The only visitors to it have liven Japanese ami Chinese brigands, who u?M-d it for game hunting und for a meet­ ing place for the division of loot. Up to date the otfieinls of the cable company have been unable to learn whnt government, if any. hns control of nml jurisdiction over the island. If it ia de­ termined thnt it.belongs to the United States an effort will be made to have the manager of the cable office appointed governor of tbe island, nnd he will have the, honor of ruling over a small terri­ tory inhabited by lew than a score ot men. With the opening of business to Hono­ lulu n rate of 50 cents a word from San Francisco has been established. When the line is completed to Hongkong. Shanghai and Manila a rate of $1 a word will be established. Heretofore the rate to these points has been $2 and a season of rate-cutting between the two cable companies is not unlikely.

At an .hour appointed the fire bell was rung, and the Mayor and Councilmen, followed by a delegation of citizens, arm-, ed with shovels, marched to tbe railway yards and raided the cam. unloading the eight cars in record-breaking time. The Mayor issued orders under the village seal, and the coal was distributed through the local dealers, it being all paid for at the rate of $8 per ton.

The House passed the bill admitting coal duty free' for a year, there being only six votes against. Then the Senate sprung a surprise on the country. It passed tbe same bill within nine miuutes after it was received from tbe House, vfithout debate and without a vote in tbe negative. But this was not the greatest surprise the coal panic which had seized the statesmen produced during the day. Representative Jenkins of Wisconsin, generally supposed to be n conservative public man. and occupying the important post of chairman of the House judiciary committee, introduced a resolution aimed, to prepare the way for government seiz­ ure of ‘‘all coal, coal beds and coal mines in the United States and all lines of transportation used in carrying coat" Mr. Jenkins thieves the gov«?rnment ought to step in and take possession of every coal mine m the country aud oil the railroads which carry coal to market. »<>tc* Mil VMI In tbe House the bill providing for coal duty rebates passed ii\ abort order. The five who voted against it were Cusbmnn mid of Wkridl gtOD, Gaines of West Virginia, Mondell of Wyoming and Patterson of Pennsylvania. The bill was considered under the operation of a rule which cut off opportunity to amend. The only opposition to the measure came from some of the members representing coal States, who expressed the fear that the admission of Chinese-mined coal from Canada would injure the coal industry in their Slates. Both Mr. Dalzell of Pennsylvania nnd Mr. Payne of New York expressed the opinion that the bill would not relieve the existing distress.- They said it would satisfy public demand for action nnd show the disposition of Congress to do what it could. • The Democrats, although they all sup­ ported tbe bill, said that coal should go on tbe free list, and when tbe bill came back from the Senate with a provision which virtually placed anthracite on the free list they applauded vigorously. The Senate amendmt?nt was adopted without division. The Senate, went further than the House, for it adopted nn amexidment which practically puts anthracite on the free list, by adding a section to prevent the imposition of n duty on anthracite after the expiration of the time pro­ vided for in the bill.

Mr. A Uriel* •nnomicM there Were strong holies of action being taken elsewhere with the view to mnorpressed the opinion that to allow the resolution “to go into the uncertain sad iM-btilotis future" would mean it* defeat. Mr. Nelson continued bi* remarks in opposition to the onmibna statehood ®ill. and a largo number of private pension bills were passed by una»lnjous consent. Soon after, the Senate met on Tuesday Mr. Jones (Nev.) favorably reported the resolution of Mr. Stewart authorizing the commit tee on the District of Colitiubia to send for wltnesse* hi connection with the coal uivestigation, to a«bninkt®C oidhs end to compel the attendance of witnesses if necessary. The resolution was agreed to. Consideration of the Vest resolution directing the Finance Committee to prepare *ud’report a-bill removing the duty on coal then was re­ sumed. Mr.' Nelson concluded his re­ marks in opposition to the statehood hill.. For the first time since the opening of this session of Congress the House was regaled with a lively political debate. General Grosvenor, of Ohio, and Mr. Clark, of Missouri, crossed sword* dur­ ing the gem-ral debate on the army ap­ propriation bill and for two hours both sides of the House cheered on their re­ spective spokesmen. The remainder of t).y day was occupied by Mr. Hull (Reji.. Iowa), who argued against the abandon­ ment of the army transport serfice; Mr. Sh^ttuc (Rep., Ohio), who assailed Ed­ ward Atkinson and the anti-impcriaHsts; Mr. Moon (Dem.. Tenn.), who denounced the refusal of the House leaden* to al­ low the consideration of the Indian Ter­ ritory statehood bill and who announced a policy of obstruction which he intend­ ed to pursue unless consideration went given it; Mr. Swinjson (Dem.. V*.). who argued the necessity of tariff revision, nnd Mr. Gaines (Dem.. Tenn.), who urged the immediate ndvisubiiify of placing coal on the free list. , The Senate on Wednesday unanimous­ ly passed the House bill providing for a rebate on coal. It was passed without debate? a few minutes after it was brought over f^om the Hoiuw. The mil­ itia bill was also passed, with an amend­ ment striking out the section providing for a reserve force of trained m<?n. •bus removing tl»c objection made against it. Mr. Tillman occupied the attention of th* Senate for an hour and a half in a char­ acteristic speech in which ho dcrionuced trusts and monopolies and severely critirised the Attorney General. The atatehood bill was up for a short time, daring which Mr. McCnmber spoke in favor of admitting. Oklahoma, Arizona..and New Mexico. The bill reported from die Ways and Means Committee providing for a rebate on th® duties on foreign coal for a period of one year was passed in short order in the Honso by the practically unanimous vote of 258 to 5. Rapid prog­ ress was made with the army appropria­ tion bill after the coal bill had been passed. The most important am Aid­ menus adopted were to increase the num­ ber of officers in the signal corps by twenty-three, namely, one colonci,, two lieutenant colonels, four majors, eight captains, and eight first lieutenants, and another to prevent the discontiuuanw of the army transport service without action by Congress. The Senate on Thursday passed tlw Hoar resolution calling npon the Presk dent to inform the Senate whnt govern­ ment is now existing in the Island of Guam and asking why Mabini is detain­ ed in that island. Mr. Tillman continn«?d his arraignment of trusts and mon­ opolies and-again charged that the At­ torney General was responsible primarily for lacx of action against trusta. The statehood bill was under discusaiou for n short time, Mr. Foraker urging the right of Oklahoma. Arizona r.nd Hew Jlexk-o to be admitted into the Union. At 4:50 p. m. the Senate went into executive ses­ sion and soon afterward adjuurued until Monday. The House passed the army appropriation bill without further amend­ ment and hpftan consideration of the de­ partment of commerce bill, under a spe­ cial rule* making it a continuing order until disposed of. The opposition to tha measure cams entirely from th* Demo­ cratic side. The House devoted Friday to private war claims, passing about twenty. The two features of the day were the defeat by a vote of 70 to 30 of n claim of B. F. Moody & Co., of Keokuk, Iowa, for the payment of the amount deducted from their contract for furnishing equipment to the Third Town Cavalry by the fa­ mous commission which unearthed the army contract fraud in St. I xmls in 1W3. and the fight of Mr. Payue, the floor leader of the majority, against an omni­ bus resolution to refer ninety Southern claims, aggregating $400.(100. for stores and supplies taken by the Union army during the Civil War to the Court of Claims for finding of fart under the Tucker act.

To know many things is not education. It may be in a certain sense knowledge, but II is .'ar from education unless It develops* in the right lines. What we want and what wc should demand 1* a proper development of the body, mind, *oul and conscience. In the past too much «trca* ha* been given the development of tbe Intellect. We may admire bright and quick intelligence, but It 1* a slender reed for its possessor to lean upon, singly and alone, unless it* posscuor by education han bad such a developement as bring* out hi* strong character, one upon whom society can depend. Our cre­ dential* of merit are not . alone wbat we can do, important a* that is, but whether what we can do is worth doing at all. Of what use is that education tb£t sharpen* one faculty and dulls anotberl Tbe edu­ cation that makes one shrewd and sharp but blunts tbe moral sensibilities? Tbe education that leads one to wit or bril­ liancy or even eloquence with all ilk mag­ ical powers, but dwarfs all those element* of the nature that leaves him without a heart or conscience ? We admire the man who can put upon paper the busines* biPtory and dealing of a Jnisiuess institution that aggregates thousand* of dollars every year, and keep tbe respective interests of partner* and stockholders in such a shape that al a moment’s notice, he can tell how tfle ac­ count between them stands, and at the end of the year stnke a balance showing the nnanciai standing of the institution, but our admiration is not'cnbauced when, by fraudulent manipulation, he can wrongly place to hi* ou’n credit, either for the pur­ pose of speculation, or to deliberately steal hundreds and thousands of dollars, and we know there is something wrong in the foundation of that education, or it would not have been so. That person is in most imminent danger whose intellect has been developed without a corresponding developement of tbe bekrt. and the build­ ing In the life, a character, which would be a sure and safe harbor in the storms of temptation and unrest that come ton*all. Of wbat value is power if not of tbe right kind? The quantity of a man's power depends on blt> kotijfaland acquired gifts, but the quality of it depends on his character. Learning is good, power I* good, culture I* good, but character is more important than nil of them. Knowl­ edge and culture art; in the man, character is the man. Education should regard what he i» to know and what he shall be able to do. but above all. wbat tie is to becom*, •znd thi« should refer to hi* life here as well as his lite in the hereafter. Facing men, a* I do many time*, who have gone wrong, many of them bright in intellect. 1 have come to look upon life with much of sadness; but while this in so, the seriouMMwis of tbe influence ot a life upon another fife has made me see a* I have never seen before the great respon­ sibility of an influence, and ha* brought me to a firm resolution that so far a* in me lies, I will never while life last* inten­ tionally lead one into wrung. But a* the responsibility doe* not end In doing I wifi strive to do more than that. By all the powers I have I will do ail that I can to lead tliem into right.

Crile, n prominent member of the Cleveland Medical Society, has contributed nn article to the current Cleveland Medical Journal announcing that through the use of a fluid called "adrenalin” life can »be restored to hpparently dead bodies.

Animals dccnpitaled were made to live ten nnd n half hours.” Dr. Crile states that the adrenalin is nn extract gotten from the glands directly above the kidneys of animals.

Since President RoosebM b*en in ~ wBi ofllee the mail ad­ dressed to the inniifff chief magistrate MM has l>ecn the heavlest in history, nnd it is steadily fill Fl < ™ growing. Probn-'U* t*>acaL3». bly no other one ,uau ,n tb° w°r,d I Mt receive# every day g|mfiFTr.Jr|''' I" ln ,ear 80 1 II 11 ’ n,ni»y personal Ict• '* B ters as are sent to, the President of the United States, and very certainly no other man receives communication* of such varied character. At the present time anywhere from 500 to 1,000 letters are received at the White House every day. In addition to this hundreds of pieces of printed matter are received every day. The first step In tho handling of the White House mail al its destination is taken by the trusted employe of the White House who makes three or four trips daily to the postoffice to secure the mail. Upon the arrival of the let­ ters at the White House they are turned over to a clerk whose sole duty is to open tho envelopes and unfold the let­ ters. The eommnnlcatiomi next pass to a clerk -who sorts the missives. Many of the letters pertain to what might be termed - routine governmental matters, nnd are turned over to one o’r. another of the executive departments’. The great bulk of the President's mnil ro<-s to his secretaries, and most of it they answer over I heir own signatures without trou­ bling the busy chief magistrate with the matter. Docnn't Peruse Many. The President does not peruse person­ ally one-tenth of the letters which are addressed to him. Indeed, fifty com­ munications a day is a liberal estimate of the number which comes under his eye. The letters which by reason of their seeming importance or the doubt of the secretaries as to their proper dis­ position do finally pass tho gauntlet and come into the hunds of the President himself are disposed in one of three w ays. In the cases of many of them he turns the letters over to the secretaries with rfli Indication of the character of the reply to be sent. To a few of the letters the President dictates replies which he signs personally, and to a very limited num­ ber of personal friends he pens confiden­ tial letters. Naturally such inscriptions ns "Per­ sonal1’ and ‘’Private" cannot be regard-' ed in opening the White House mail, bnt there are ways'in which the initiated may insure their communication reach­ ing the President personally. The.ap­ proved plan is for the writer to place his Initials or name In autograph in the low­ er left hand corner of the envelope. For Instance, a, confidential note from the President’s personal friend. Senator 1/odge. bears In the corner the initials H. C. L. In a majority of cases the provisions of these safeguards Is super­ fluous for -the clerk who opens the mail has come by experience to recognize in­ stantly the handwriting of the relatives and intimates of thi- chief executive, and their letters go through without molesta­ tion. Sometimes individuals not person­ ally known to the President, but who have learned of the plan in vogue, seek to reach his ear* by placing their initials on a missive or occasionally even to re­ sort to the rue of affixing the Inlfials of some one known to be close to the chief magistrate. Topics Bad. Funny and Abaurd. The topics discussed in the White House mail are varied. Rome are sad. some humorous, others absurd. Many writers appeal to the President for aid in securing them government berths. The "begging letters" form a vast pro­ portion, ranging all the way from the importunities of professional beggar* to the requests of churches and chari­ table organizations seeking subscriptions. It may be noted that every appeal for aid which bears the slightest evidence of possible worthiness is turned over to some charita! to organization In the community from which It has emanated. Great quan­ tities of anonymous letters are received and a surprisingly large number of ap­ peals come from persons who seek to en­ list the aid of the President in paying off mortgage*. Finally there are the threat­ ening and “crank" letter* of various kinds and the number of communications M this kind received is simply astounding. Many of the letters addressed to the President are induced by newspaper com­ mant. A striking evidence of this was afforded recently when an item went the rounds of the press to the effect thgt the White House was infested with rats. No sooner had publicity been given the re­ port than there was an avalanche of let­ ters recommending various plans tor get­ ting rid of the rodents. Manufacturers of ret poisons and trap* donated their wares and another solicitous citizen sent five cats which were declared to be fa­ mous rat catcher*. The latter donation still further complicated matters tor ihe correspondence corps, for a report waa printed to the effect that the felines were being persecuted by Jack, the White House dog, and thia brought a number of Indignant protest* from sympathetic ladies who denounced as an outrage the supposed cruelly. The general public and particularly the feminine portion of it appears to cherish the belief that, whereas there is no pos­ sibility that a letter can reach the Presi­ dent inviolate there is reasonable surety that a missive to a member of his imme­ diate family will reach its destination unmolested. This is utter fallacy, for every letter addressed to Mrs. Booaevelt or any of the children passes through ex­ actly the same channel aa does the mall designed for the head of the household and the chance* that It will ever come under the sys at the intended recipient ar* quits as remote.

By far the greater part of the world’s population in to live n round 'the Pacific ocean. It Is to be tho Mediterranean—the midland sea —of the future. At present England bos a commercial advantage in the Pacific, but the cutting of the isthmian canal will transfer that advantage to the Unit­ ed States, if a British ship should sail from Liverpool for Cape Horn, and an American ship should sail from New York trr the same point, the latter would have to sail 150 miles farther than the former to reach the cape; and that means that every port on the western coast of i South America, Mexico and North Amer­ ica, Mexico and North America is. by water, nearer to Liverpool than to New York. By sea San Francisco is' to-day 150 miles farther from NcWeYork than from Liverpool. Suppose that the two ships sail from New York and Liverpool for the Suez canal. The latter ship would have bn advantage of 2,000 miles over the former, which means that a!) Asiatic and Indian ports are, by the Suez canal, 2.000 rnUes nearer to Liverpool than to New Y'ork. But when the isthmian canal shall be cut New York will have an advantage of about 1.000 miles on the average to the ports of north China, from 800 to 2,700 miles to the principal ports of the cen­ tral and western Pacific, nnd from 2,700 to 8,500 miles to the ports of the eastern Pacific. That is, commercially speaking, the Pacific 1« now a British ocean. By reason, therefore, of the location of the United States, we shall always have bet­ ter access to the markets of the world than any other people.

Enough spasmodic' theorization on teaching practical agriculture and es­ thetic nature study in country districts has been expended to pay off the na­ tional debt, says the Rural World. Let us pass into the next stage of tbe argu­ ment and get down to ways and means. If our children are to receive elementary instruction in. chemistry, soil physics, vegetable biology, botany aud all the rest of the list. It follows that some one must teach them. How many are really capable of teaching anything beyond tbe "a, b, abs.” with their hands tied behind them? It Is not enough that a teacher tuny call up the class in geography and' perfunc­ torily conduct a recitation with her eyes glued to the book. A teacher should inspire pupils with the love of study. He should make the recltatlbn Interesting. All this applies not only to the teachings^of agriculture but to all branches taught In the coun­ try school, and serves to emphasize the need of adopting the central or township school system. It is very difficult for any teacher to develop the proper interest and enthusiasm in the work of any branch of study with only an attendance.of two or three pupils. On the other hand. It is a* great waste to employ good teachers for only two or three students when they can better instruct several times that number. Under the present sys­ tem there, is a large number of schools where the number of pupils Is no larger tlian the above. When the cen­ tralized plan Is adopted it will l>e pos­ sible with the saine outlay Jo supply a much better class of Instruction In all branches and with 94 per cent of the schools eliminated we believe It would be possible to obtain an Instructor for each of tho remainder that would be noct with the cow’s tents, nnd tbe competent to give Instruction In the pressure, It is clahnnd, causes the milk elementary principles of agriculture. • to flow readily.

Increases in wages granted by the great railroad and industrial cor­ porations within the last two months show that during the coming year U5G.800 employes will receive $38^*50.000 more, than they did last year. Nrgotiatlons are now hi progres by which llfk- ■ 000 employes of various railroads hi the i West and South will receive increasr* ag-1 gregating $4,000,000 annually. Hcortu upon scores of small corporation* or busi­ ness firms, each employing a few hun­ dred men or women, have made wage ad­ vances. There is no way of computing exactly the number of these -or the em­ ployes or the amounts involved, but a conservative estimate on the grand total,. of employes who will receive higher wages during 1003 is 900,000. and the sum involved will be in the neighborhood of $ftO.UOO.O'V. Railroad men receive n more generous share of the increase in wage* than any other class of workingmen. There are about 1,200,000* mtn employed by the railroads of the country, including every­ body from the laborer up to the presi­ dent. Of these 1.200,000 oVr 000,000; or more’than one-half, will receive on nu average 10 per cent more in wages than they did in 1002. .

Ths United States-Great Britain treaty to submit the Alaska boundary dispute to arbitration was signed Satur­ day afternoon in Washington by Secre­ tary Hay and Ambassador Herbert. Great Britain makes a ^concession in that it agrees that there will be three commissioners representing each side to the controversy. The questions at issue will be decided by a majority vote and the victorious nation must win one of lhe commissioners from the other. Great Britain declined to agree to this propo­ sition before. It insisted on the appoint­ ment of an umpire. Under this arrange­ ment the question cannot be decided by a European umpire. • Under the terms of the treaty it will not be possible for the commissioners t<j transfer Dyea, Skagway, Juneau or any other American city from American to British jurisdiction. But it does have ojien the question as to whether the Brit­ ish can get to tide water. This has al­ ways been the issue and the commission­ ers may decide that England can reach tide water. Such a decision may result in the establishment of conflicting Ameri­ can and British custom houses at some point* on the coast. The case mnst be presented to the tri­ bunal within two months of tlie dnte uf the ratification of the treaty aud the counter case within two months there­ after, but both sides may be granted ad­ ditional .time if necessary.

Owing to the scat. and when the last three cars were teluscoped nnd tbe two remaining cars seriously wrecked the carnage was ex­ treme. The express was. running at a speed of over sixty-five miles an hour when the accident occurred. Men, women nud children were killed nnd maimed, even before they realized the fate that hud overtaken them. Sit­ ting in their seats unconscious of harm, they did not know that the huge Iron engine crashing through the train men­ aced their lives before death, in 'many inatnuepa, had come.

His face was aglow. He was as fine a looking fellow physically ns one could find in the whole 'corps of cadets. He went straight to the girl. She held out both hands and greeted him. Helen Forbes had met James De­ laney during the cadet’s furlough In his second class year. The next sum­ mer she had gone to the academy when he, with his classmates, were enjoying all-the glories which come to a first classman during the last encampment of the academic course. s This sort of thing happens everywhere, -perhaps, but is particularly likely to happen at West Point, where, popular belief to the contrary notwithstanding, the cadets are not thrown into the whirl THE SAME OLD STORY. of society. James Delaney, thia cadet, T this boy practically, fell in love with Helen Forbes, and "fell in love with all the intensity of his nature. As for the girl—well, it's hard tell­ ing anything where women are con­ cerned. She certainly gave Cadet De­ laney every reason to believe that she cared for him, and cared for him deep­ ly. The winter after her summer spent at West Point she came out in society in New York city. She was a beauty, and the mtn Moon found it out. Her father was not rich, and Helen was ambitious. That was a guy winter in New York for Helen Forbes. Her mother had promised to take her to the gnid uating exercises at West Point. At the time that she met Delaney on the veranda she had been at the place a week and had seen him again and , again. • “Let us go for a walk,” said Delaney. She rested her little white hand on his gray coat sleeve just below the gold chevrons that told his rank as a cadet captain and together they passed along the veranda. In a moment the ojieu door of the hotel office was at their right. Helen Forbes glanced within. She gave a little start and half withdrew her hand from De­ laney’s orm. All solicitude, he turned. “What is it?" he said. • "I felt a little cold," replied the girl, und in saying it Helen ForbeS told no lie. • “Shall we go in?” asked the cadet. They went down the hotel steps through the lantern-lighted lawn, by the front of the cadet encampment, back of the old battery of Napoleon 12-poundcrs, nnd finally reached Kos­ ciusko’s garden. They heard the wa­ ters of the Hudson murmuring against the bank below. The splash of the fountain by which* the old Polish patriot loved to sit was in their ears. They heard in a subdued •way the music from the hotel. Well, it’s a story that’s been told and told nnd told again, and still will BELL’S CORNERS. be told when a hundred generations Mrs. E. W.

It ran like this: "Thomas Packard pulled out $500,000 as a result- of his recent deal in pork. The little fellows were squeezed and several of them lost everything they had in the world. Mr. Packard’s pork deal was handled with the business sagacity for which he is noted. It is rumored that the suicide of George Wilson was due to his losses in this deal." The paragraph in the parallel column, a dispatch from Washington, waa this: "The senate gto-day confirmed the nomination of Jfaj. James Delaney, of the Forty-ninth cavalry, as lieu­ tenant colonel. Congress has voted a medal of honor to Col. Delaney for hl* personal gallantry in Bantu, Phil­ ippines.

Bandits Blow Open Vault at Steelville. flL, and Escape with »3,(XH). Bobbers blew open tha vault of. the bank of Steelville, 111., at 3 o'clock on a recent morning and secured $3,000.- with which they escaped in a carriage. Nitro­ glycerin was used to open the'vault, and four explosions were necessary before the robbers could gain entrance. One man did the work Inside the building, while another stood guard on the sidewalk cut­ side. Paul Zimmer, an engineer in Glis­ ter's mills; was awakened by the report of the first explosion. He glanced out of his front window toward the bank and saw the man standing on the sidewalk. He hurried t0 the. mill and informed the employes. They then armed themselves and started back toward tbe bank. Three other explosions were heard in the bank building in quick succession. Mrs. Zim­ mer, in tbe meantime, came out of the house and began shouting to her husband. Tbe robber on guard turned toward the woman and, flourishinjf a revolver at her. said: "Shut up, or I’ll blow your head off." Turning to the bank, the robber asked his confederate: '’Are you all right, Jim? Hurry up and scrape* up the cash. -.‘-r they are after us, but I will blow the Lead off the first man I see." The robbers then took to flight and es­ caped. COURT FAVORS SETTLERS. Supreme Court Hands Down Decision Adverse to Northern Pacific Read. Tbe United States Supreme Court ren­ dered through Justice Harlan sn opinion affecting the Northern Pacific Railroad land grant. The case was that of Peter and Henry Nelson, who Wealed upon unsurveyed land within the Northern Pacific grant, in the then Territory of Washington, In 1881. This was after the- railroad company had filed its gen­ eral map showing its proposed definite location. In the opinion handed down by the cw’rt it was held thnt the title of the settlers was better than that of the railroad company, and that until the definite map was filed Congress had con­ trol of the lands withlx* the grant re­ gardless of the general map. In a dis­ senting opinion. Justice Brewer said tbe opinion reverses the judgment of the court of twenty years ngo, which the Interior Department had ever since been controlled in dealing with disputes between the railroad company and set­ tlers like the Nelsons. Millions, are in­ volved in the decision. Twenty Dead in Arixona Wreck and Twelve Perish in Biasing Cars.- Twenty dead, with perhaps a dozen othrni cremated in the fierce fire that -followed n collisioni- between two fast trains on the Southern Pacific Railroad, and at -least sixteen persons seriously hurt, is the shocking report that comes from the seen© of the disaster near Vallsburg, Ariz. Tucson gained its first tid­ ings of the disaster when a Vburist coach, torn away from the other fars, thunder­ ed with terrific speed down the grade upon which the road is built between that city and Vailsburg. nnd th© frantic passengers shrieked the dread intelli­ gence to the men at work in the railroad yards. A dispatcher stationed at Es­ mond, midway between Tucson nnd Vailsburg, is responsible for the accident. He made a blunder in carrying out -hia orders regarding th© trains, and instead of sidetracking one of them he caused the two to dash together in a head-end collision, nt a point where each engineer considered thnt he had a clear track ahead. ' Oil from the locomotive reser­ voirs caught lire and was scattered over the wrecked conches, destroying eleven of them and bunting to death the pas­ sengers who were pinned down in th© wreckage. FEAR A LABOR INFLUX. Industrial Depression in European Countries May Strike Home. "If'history ever repeats itself the in­ dustrial depression now on in Great Brit­ ain nnd Ireland and other European countries Is the forerunner of a similar depression in the. United States." The above assertion was made by four inter­ national officials of labor organizations in Chicago who had read a special cable fro rd Ixmdon announcing a proposed dem­ onstration of 50,000 idle workmen in that city and ’a statement to tbe effect that there are'750,000 unemployed in Great Britain and Ireland. The officials in question are not pessimists and were loath to express themselves, but when asked for. a statement declared- they would present a plain-statement of what they believed to be facts. Two of them were convinced that an industrial depres­ sion could be averted by « reduction in th© hours of labor, but all of them ex­ pressed the opinion that conditions in the United States were controlled to a great­ er or less extent by conditions existing iu European countries. They were unan­ imous in the belief that many of the un­ employed workmen in Great Britain nnd Ireland would emigrate to the United States and. that the influx would be a serious proposition for the workman in thia country-. ROH A SILVER BULLION CAR. Mexican Cracks Make Away with Plunder Near El Paso, Texas. Somewhere between Alamogordo, N M., and El Paso,-Texas, a United States bond<*d car, iu transit from the El Paso smelter to Chicago, loaded with 000 bars of silver bullion, was entered by robbers and eighty of the bars stolen. At Jarilia Junction th© broken seal wns discovered and an Investigation'revealed three Mexi­ cans in the car. When an attempt wns made to eject them they pulled knives and a lively fight took place, in which the crew was victorious and drove away the robbers. At Dog Canyon Sheriff Hunter sdw throe Mexicans who took to the brush. A call to halt was answer­ ed by a fusillade. A running light en­ sued. Hunter shot a Mexican through the heart. The other two men escaped. Officials are of the opinion that the bond­ ed car wns entered by robbers just out­ side El Paso, who threw the bars out of the car, to be gathered up by confederatea, The value of th© missing bullion is estimated at $40,000. RAIDERS RELEASED. Me^Who Attack Train and Figbt Po­ lice Are on Probation. When railroad detectives swooped down on a crowd of men and women who were raiding a string of coal cars nt the foot of Berg street, Cleveland, a pitched battle, in which clubs. stones nnd coal were used, resulted. Eight men and two women were arrested and several ’.vens badly beaten by the clubs of the detec­ tives. The crowd had climbed upon the ears and threw off the coal, while wom­ en, on the hill above, waited the signal to rush down and carry it away. Police Judge Fielder released all the prisoners on probation. SALARY BOY MANGLED BY LIONS. ROCK ISLAND PLANS COUP. May Use tbe Atchison as Outlet for Its Pacific Trade. Officials of the Rock Island system and of the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe were in conference discussing details of the proposed traffic agreement between the two. The Rock Island people, dis­ satisfied with the present arrangements with the Southern Pacific, have made a twofold proposition to lite Atchison. *Thcy propose JLo purchase an Interest in the Atchison large enough to give i£ repre­ sentation ou the board of directors nnd to form a traffic combination whereby th© Rock Island may reach the Pacific coast independently of the Southern Pa­ cific.

Radishes Sautemc • Planked Roe Shad. Potatoes Duchesse Filet Mignon. BehroaiM Freeh Mushrooms Pou tet Claret Punch Lxlla Rookh Breast of Spring Chicken Bar-le-Duc Jelly Asparagus Chicken co Mayounslae Champagne/ Glace 1 Gateaux Imperial Cheese Toasted Crackers Cate Noir Cigars ■ The banquet, with its accompanying toasts, kept tnc banqueters occupied from ten in the evening until three in tbe morning, and not a moment of the time was wasted. There was some­ thing doing all the time. The menu cards were handsome souvenirs of the Session,-containing half-tone cuts uf e host and of the hotel, and were en­ closed in hand-painted covers. The banquet was a very elaborate affair, and Mr. Poet will always have a warm spot in the hearts of the Michigan Press association for his generosity. At ten o’clock Friday morning the editors assembled for the last session of the meeting, and it proved one of the best. A paper by Mr. Post, who is in Europe, was read by Dr. V. M. Pierce of Buffalo, and several other interesting tpapers were listened to. After the appointment of the usual committees, and the adoption of the report of the committee on resolu­ tions, tbe convention adjourned. Il is conceded by every editor in the bunch that Battle Creek is the best town'in Michigan, that it has more ho»phatily to the acre, and that itcoes mure business according to It* size, than any town in the domain of the association. The success of the con­ vention was largely due to the tireless efforts of Martin E. Brown of tbe Bat­ tie Creek Moon, but even he could not have mide of it the splendid success it was without the hearty co-o|>eration and assistance of the other members of the Battle Creek Press chib and of the pushing and enterprising business men of Michigan's “Queen City.” LOCAL AND PERSONAL Greene, the tailor.

The Michigan Press association held its 38th annual meeting at Battle Creek on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday of last week, and it proved, as was anticipated, one of the most suc­ cessful meetings the association has ever held. - Over 900 of the newspaper makers of the slate, most of them ac­ companied by their wives, were ja at­ tendance, aud they were well repaid for theft* time and trouble in coming. The handsome new Post Tavern was headquarters, and the pencil pushers took to it as naturally as though they were accustomed.to such luxuries as an every day affair. The business meetings were held in the fine new Y. M. C. A. building, and were largely attended and proved highly interest­ ing. More new members were taken into the association than at any jpre­ vious meetings in the history of the association; this was largely due to the indefatigable efforts of the secre­ tary, H. A. Hopkins of St. Clair, who ' well deserved the re-elsction which he received at the business meeting Thursday afternoon. The association got together for thei first time for a business meeting on Wednesday afternoon, when a num­ ber of interesting papers were read and freely discussed. In the evening,, o» the guests of the merchants and manufacturers uf the city, the editors and their wives attended h presenta­. tion of “The Burgomaster'’ al the) magnificent new Post Theatre.

While snow was falling in Chicago nnd as far west ns the Rockies and far into the north ns well, rain was sweep­ ing over the country to the south nnd east. The gale from the northeast spread out until it embraced the sections which had escaped the snowfall, and there be­ gan the troubles of the telegraph and telephone companies. The wind had a clear sweep over Lake Michigan. and beat down upon the unprotected Indiana shores. There were no stretches of for­ est to break its force and in a short time the rain changed to sleet. * Almost nt once the effect of this was felt in unicago. reit Chicago. isy By mianignt midnight uaiesaay Tuesday the telegraph operators at the keys in Chicago offices found no response h» their ; signals and long before dawn al! com­ I munication with the East was effectually shut off. The storm swept on ami circled around to the south of Chicago, careying down the wires there. To the north the same difficulty bad developed some­ what earlier and the western wires were working badly on account of the heavy enow. The New York gold and stock quota­ tions were wired from New York City to Washington and from there forward­ ed to Cincinnati. From Cincinnati they were sent on again tu 8t.

Pneumon­ ia always results from a cold or from an an attack of influenza (grip), and it bos teen observed that this remedy counter­ acts any tendency of these diseases toward pneumonia. Tills has been fully, proven in many thousands of cases in which ibis remedy has been used during tte great prevaltare of colds and grip in recent yean* and can be relied upon with implicit con­ fidence.

It is only necessary to point out the. main features of the situation in order to demonstrate the imminence of the peril. The Sultan's atrocious misgov­ ernment of Macedonia, despite all warn­ ings and protests, has at last aroused both the Christian nnd Ottoman popula­ tions to revolt. The Bulgarian govern­ ment has given formal assurances that It will do everything in its power to avoid interference In the coming quarrel. It is quite beyond its power, ax all concerned know, to prevent the Bulgarian people from crossing the frontier nnd making ‘Wtnmon enure-with the -Macedonian rev­ olutionist*. Servin also professes its intention to stand aloof, but there also no govern­ ment I* strong enough to keep the coun­ try long out of lhe field after the fight­ ing U-gius. Mistake of European Concert. It will naturally be inquired how it hapjM-ns that the European concert, which especially champions the. rights of the Macedonian Christians, has allow­ ed -the crisis to reach a jiuint of such danger that now it is probably too late to avert nn outbreak uf the much-dreaded conflagration. It would have been much better, as the Times observe*/if Europq, had taken the whole population under its protection in­ stead of only the Christians, inaamucii as the Ottomans are suffering equally from the atroplous misrule uf the cor­ rupt governing class. The concert uf Europe, as has been many times demonstrated with ippalling consequences, in a useless machine for any emergency requiring prompt action. Moreover. Abdul Hamid has successfully resisted its efforts more than once, even when it was unanimously in earnest. It ia almost bopelen* to attempt to wring adequate concesalons from him now in time to induce tbe Macedoniana to aban­ don their revolutionary program. It is dear that thia is fully understood by ths powers proposing there reforms, but Russia and Austria have already be­ gun massing troops on the frontier for a campaign which they consider inevitable early in the spring. The Sultan himself ia by no means idle. He is preparing to put down in hl* usual savage fashion any rebellion tn hie dominion*. There is no- doubt of the result, however. If, while struggling with tbe revolting provinces, Abdul Hamid is confronted by the troops cf Russia and Austria, the Tqrk will at last be driven out of Europe. . But what will be the effect of a Rus­ sian seizure of Constantinople? A few years ago It would hare been the signal for a general European war. This la lose probable to-day, but to again‘quote the Times, a wise man will not pretend to forecast the limits end Issues of tbe questions which would be opened up. Dynamite a Herd of Sheep.

It was about to be passed when Mr. Petra*, of Alabama, requested that It go over tn permit some amendments to be of­ fered. The statehood bill wss up for >i short time, and Messrs. Bard nnd Quarles spoke In opposition to it. The House passed about forty bilb under suspension of tbe rules. Tha tno*t im­ portant of them was a bill to authorize n resumption of the negotiation* with Great Britain for the preservation of the Alaskan fur seals and to give the Secre­ tary of the Treasury authority, if a mo1 dua vivendi 1* not concluded prfbr to tbe opening of the pelagic sealing season thb year, to exterminate the seal herd on tbo I’ribylov Islands, except 10.000 femal** and 1,000 male*. The -Senate bill ap­ propriating $1,500,000 for a new Depart­ ment of Agriculture building was passed. On Tuesday the Senate passed without objection or discussion the Eikins bill to further regulate railroad transportation. The army appropriation bill, which went over at the Request of Mr. Pettus, was passed. The provision establishing a general staff was eliminated. Later, the independent meaaufe. identical lu ita pro­ visions with the general staff section of the army bill, was passed, after having been reconsidered to permit the Incor­ poration of nn amendmenf by Mr. Beny. placing the chief of staff exclusively un­ der th«i direction of the President^ Mr. Quarles continued his remarks in oppo­ sition to-tbo statehood bill. He spoke for two hours and a half without con­ cluding. The House spent practically the wh^lc day on claims bills coining over from the previous week. Mr. Payne, the floor leader of the majority, fought them ail., but succeeded in defeating only three bills. After the claims measures were disposed of, general debate ou th* postoffice appropriation bill was re­ sumed. and Mr. Rubb (Mo.) add rested the House on the trust Question. In the Senate Wednesday Mr. Hale presented the report of jhe conferees an the diplomatic aud consular appropria­ tion bill, which was agreed to. Toward the end of the session there was a liveljr passage of words between Mr. Gallinger and Mr. Beveridge. .The former declared Mr. Beveridge and hia followers on the statehood bill were prolonging the debate in pursuance of a "deliberate and pre­ meditated system of obstruction." The general staff bill was reconsidered nnd passed with nn amendment putting tbe chief of staff under the direction of the President, “and the Secretary of War under the direction of the President.’’ The Senate concurred in lhe amendment of the House providing for a new De­ portment of Agriculture building and fix­ ing the cost at $1,500,000. This passed the -•bill. The general debate on the postofflee appropriation bill waa enliv­ ened by Mh interesting discussion of the tariff qiiestldti. If’WSS pnrtk-ipntcdm by Mr. Sibley (Rep.. Pa.». Mr. Williams (Dem., Miss.), and Mr. Griggs (Dem., Ga.). The consideration of the post­ office bill in committee of the whole was completed, but it was not passed. Most of the time in the Senate Thurs­ day was occupied by deltate ou the state­ hood bill, with polygamy as the chief topic. The pure-food bill pawed by t^e House was rend, and nn amendment v.as agreed to providing that nothing iu the act shall he held to apply to substances or materials manufactured and sold ex­ clusively for use iu the arts nnd Indus­ tries, but only when manufactured nod sold as drugs or foods. The time of the House wss chiefly occupied with a de­ bate on the anti-trust bill. The bill to expedite anti-trust prosecutions was passed without debate, as waa the post­ office appropriation bill. Mr. Hitt (HL) presented the conference report on the diplomatic and consular appropriation, bill, and it won adopted. The army gen­ eral staff bill was sent to conference. The time in the Senate Friday waa largely occupied by discussion of the Ixthmian canal question, the resolution introduced by Mr. Morgan calling on spondenee regarding the military occupa­ tion of tbe bays of Panama aud Coion being under debate in both open and se­ cret session. A conference was agreed to on the general Miff Wil. aud Messrs. Cockrell. Quarles and Foraker were ap­ pointed confcfWs.

The smile vanished, however, nnd a look of surprise took its place aa ahe w*s given n large square envelope, pure white, and tied with dainty pink ribbons and quaint little bows, which even her nimble fingers found It hard to untie; but a iittlr later it was spread out on the table before her, a valentine, all lace and flowers and satin bows, with two angels bearing up a line of lore. Aunt Belina's face was a study. In­ deed, she made a picture sitting there by the old fireside trying to solve this mys­ tery, and when evening came and when ahe went to feed her chickens and dog Rover, her only companions, she was still asking herself over and over: "Who in all the wide world can care enough for me to send me such a mes­ sage of love I*' Aunt Selina's life had been a quiet one; he- mother had died while she was a Child, and, with the help of an old nurse, ahe had been housekeeper for her father and one brother, older than herself, and when this brother married she was Aunt Belina, not only to his children, but to their little, friends as well, for her sunny nature made her a favorite with them all. When her father died she was left with the cottage and little garden and enough money to live comfortably in a quiet way. But. though 30 years of age, she had never hnd a lover, so now as her mind ran over the gentlemen whom she knew she could think of no one who would send her n vnlcntlna. Still there was the Baysville postmark, the t?wn where she lived, and once again ahe went through her list of acquaintances. . "There's Deacon Hayes—but he is so old and gray it cap’t be he. And Carlos Brown, he sits in the pew at my right, but he Is really too poor to think of taking a wife.** For. some way. Aunt Selina felt that It meant that, else whjf should one send so costly a valentine to an old maid? Once she thought of asking the post­ man. and then laughed at the idea. As If he would know. He was a bachelor of middle age, and rumor said that he bad no liking for ladies* Society r-owingto some experience before coming to Rays­ ville. Aunt Selina thought that his manner bore out thia statement, as he had made few friends and seemed not to care for the cheerful "Good morning" which she gave him whenever he shipped at her door. It must be confessed that when the next Sunday came. Aunt Selina was un­ usually careful of her dress. She wore her new black silk, nnd her wavy brown batr was neatly colled beneath the small velvet bonnet, which she had freshened up with a new satin bow, for ahe felt sure that hev valentine friend would l>e at church that morning, and as ahe en­ tered the color rose in her fair face, for she felt that tbe deacon had spoken more kindly than usual, ns she came up the gravel walk. Mr. Brown had tak­ en her hand in greeting and 'Squire Wat­ kins, her father’s old friend, had in­ quired for her health. As she went back to her quiet home she wondered if a brighter future were in store for her, something besides the loneliness that bad been her lot for many years. Time passed, and at length, hearing nothing more from the sender of her val­ entine. she decided that either he did not wish to be known, or had not the cour­ age to carry the matter farther, so the tittle token was laid away, the one ro­ mance of Aunt Balina's life. One day a boy came running to her door with a message, which read: “I am very tick; will you come to me? Your postman. JOHN MOORE. "Bleak House. Baysville.” Yes, Aunt Balina would go. she waa always ready to help lhe suffering, but when she entered the room where John Moore lay, the nurse came quickly to­ ward her, telling her that ha had not long to live, and ahe thought the same when she saw what a wreck the fever had made of the once strong man. Perhaps it was his constitution that brought him through, or It may have been Aunt Belina's cheerful face and gen­ tle ways, for John Moore did not die, although it waa many weeks before lie could travel his rounds again, and dur­ fag that time Aunt Belina learned how much be had cared for her, and that it was he who had sent the valentine, hop­ HOUSE IN WHICH LINCOLN ing the little message would, iu some DIED GOING TO DECAY. way, help him to gain her love, for it was not true, the report which the gos­ sips of Baysville had brought against him, but more a reserved nature which hnd made him seem indifferent to those who would like to have been his friends.

Man of the People. Tbe birthday of Abraham Lincoln may well recall the principles which he rep­ resented, for which he labored and for which h« ’endured a martyr’s death. There is no more popular figure in Amer­ ican history than that of Abraham Lin­ coln. He was pre-eminently a man of the people. Sprung from tbe -people, he alwaya remained one of them. Men ad­ mired George Washington, but it waa an admiration mingled with awe. Tbe people both loved and revered Lincoln.

The village of Addison was startled by the suicide of Joseph Paquette, Jr., a young man 21 years of age.

They called a physi­ cian. but death resulted before help ar­ rived.

There is considerable anxiety among ■ well-informed people in the Treasury De­ partment regarding the possibility of a serious outbreak of the bubonic plague on th* Pacific coast- The marine hospital serrire is in possession of a number of confidential reports which are far from encouraging. As a matter of public pol­ icy and particularly in deference to th* wishes of business men on the coast, th* marine hospital bureau stopped th* pub­ lication of reports on the plague on the Pacific coast. Instead of allaying anx­ iety, thia increased it, as people began to believe there was an intentional sup­ pression of the truth. No one believe* thit tho bubonic plague has.attained dny dangerous proportions on the Pacific, but there is a feeling that the situation is growing slightly worse instead of better, and it is this feature that cresses apprehenalon among the best posted of ths health officers. Probably the most sumptuous smok­ ing rooms ln thia country »re those which the government has provided for th* members of the.House of Representa­ tives in tbe rear of Representa­ tives' Hall. The chairs are luxurious affairs, upholstered in buff leather, whil* the couches and sofas are of th* same material.

There is but one rule in th* smoking rooms, and it applies to that used by the Democrats as well as that of tb* Republicans. It bangs in th* center of th^ wall of each, and readst "Strangers nnd cigarettes not permitted in thia room." The rule is religiously obeyed. . Col. Theodore Bingham, superintend­ ent of public buildings and grounds la Washington, in his report to Congress, ask* for an appropriation of >110,264 for the Wliite House for the coming year, against $33,000 for the present year. Th* report says: “Th* recent changes in tbs White Hous* have resulted in a building far more expensive to maintain than for­ merly. The character of the new fit­ tings and new furnishings is such that repairs and replacing will be more ex­ pensive than before, and it will be more expensive to replace specially designed sliver doorknobs and escutcheons, silver and gilt binges, etc. Hard wood floors and tiling will require extra labor to keep in order. More help will be needed in the laundry, owing to the large family which occupies the White House and the large amount ot entertaining done. ’ President Roosevelt sent a message to Congress transmitting n report from th* Secretary of State, with notes from tha Mexican ambassador and the Chi­ nese charge d'affaires, which seek the co­ operation of the United Statea in such measures as will restore and .maintain a fixed relationship between the moneys of the gold standard and silver-using countries. The President recommends that the support of the United States be extended to such degree as may be deem­ ed expedient. Secretary Hay in his note disavows any move in the interest of in­ ternational bimetallism, but it Is desired to arrive at some system which will pre­ vent great fluctuations in exchange. Th* aotos on behalf of China and Mexico are identical, and point out that an interna­ tional understanding would facilitate trade. The average Congressman who does hustling around from department to de­ partment is inclined to smoko where he listeth and knock ths ashes from his cigar where ho pleases. The practice Is all right for the ante-rooms of cabinet officers, but President Roosevelt thought it should not be carried into ths White House reception room. So he gave or­ ders to Arthur Simmons, the colored doorkeeper- from North Carolina, to re­ quest geatlemen»not to smoke. Arthur Simmons had a number of strenuous in­ terviews in carrying out his instructions. At his request the “No Smoking Allow­ ed" sign has been placed in tbe recep­ tion room. James D.

The United States mints were exceed­ ingly busy in 1902.

C., died at Grand Rapids, Mich., February 7, the cause of her death being bilious fever. She was a lovely young woman and had many friends in Nashville who will sincerely mourn her untimely demise. Every town has a emart-alec, one who knows everybody else'® business, and is continually poking his nose into affairs tlixl should not concern him. Nashville is blessod( ?) with one of them. Some one would confer an everlasting favor upon humanity in general if they wuuld frame and have a law passed relegating Riis kind of people to some secluded spot on earth where they could make their own laws and live in the seclusion and narrow­ ness they prescribe for others. A very pleasant surprise was ten­ dered George Morgan last Thursday arnlng when a number of his old mds and neighbors gathered at his home on the north side to remind him of his eighty-sixth birthday. Wellfilled baskets were brought and a good time enjoyed by all. Those from out of town who were present were Mr. and Mrs. Asa Dlllenbeck, Mr. and Mrs. George Dlllenbeck. Mr. and Mrs. Chas.

Two children ot Mr. and Mrs. Thur­ low Loving, living near Belding were burned to death Friday.- The mother stepped out of the house to get a pail of water and when she returned the house was all in flames. She made frantic effort to save her children but the flames drove her back and ahe was compelled to stand by and see them and her home destroyed. One day last summer during the progress of a foot ball game at Lake Odessa, John King was attempting to keep the crowd back when he clashed with Monroe Armour, also of the same place, both being draymen. Armour gave King an awful biff 4n the jaw, breaking that very useful portion of his anatomy. Armour was arrested for assult and battery and pleaded guiltv paying a fine therefor. King, then brought suit in circuit court for civil damages and the case was tried last week, and a jury brought in a verdict for 6150 damages. It would seem that Charles Cook of Middleville, has struck itrich. Mr. Cook is the owner of three springs whose waters possess great medicinal qualities, curing Bright's disease, rheumatism and even dandruff and baldness. A company offered Mr. Cook 640,000 in stock if he would give a stock company the full control of the springs, while another party has offer­ ed 6300 per year for full flow. The water has been partially analyzed by the parties maxing these flattering offers, but Mr. Cook proposes to hold the property until he knows what there is in it for him and’ says MiAdleville bids fair to have a sanitarium. The meeting of tbe executive com­ mittee of the Barry County Agricultu­ ral society last Saturday, was well at­ tended, and all the officers and direc­ tors showed a lively interest in the coming fair. It was thought that noth­ ing could be gained by fixing the dates for the coming fair so early, and the matter was left until a later meeting. The premium list was put in the hands of a committee for thorough revision, especialh’ that part of it pretaining to live stock, it being the aim of the management to make the live stock ex­ hibit lhe most notable one in the his­ tory of the society. The friends of Frank C. Andrews, the Detroit bank-wrecker, have already begun to pour in letters to lhe gover­ nor.asking.tha-' “bh fiHA” be set at liberty.

MIRROK OF MICHIGAN: now MICHIGAN SOLONS. Both houses of the Legislature gut to­ gether at Zi o’clock Tuesday afternoon, but they remained in seaaiem hardly long enough to listen to prayers and take lung breaths.

Representative Edwin Denby of De­ troit created something of a sensation in tho House Wednesday aftern*»on by a speech on tax dodging.

Representa­ tive Lovell of Berrien County wanted to know t if northern members are worth more than those from the lower penin­ sula. but Anderson said they ought to get bacjc some of the money spent recent­ ly in entertaining junketers, and the bill was agreeil to.

RANDY BAG-HOLDER. Cooking Food for Stock. Only a few years ago quite a numi»rr of appliances for cooking food for stock were advertised, but few are offered at this time, and the assump­ tion Is that there Is no demand for them. In some sections cooking at least a portion of tbe food for the stock Is still done, but the majority of feeders claim that tl^rejidts do not warrant the expense. This Is proba­ bly true where a number of animals are kept, but where there are but few animals It undoubtedly pays to at least warm a portion of the food given to them during the winter. It is known that with poultry this cooking of the food pays, for the majority of successful poultrymen consider the warm mash as an ewentlal part of their feeding plans. Undoubtedly, too, if one has a largo quantity of pota toes that are to be stock fed. It will pay to cook them, provided the appara­ tus used is not too expensive. Not­ withstanding tbe fact that the con­ census of opinion srems to be against the cooking of food for stock. It is a question that must be determined by each feeder for himself by actual ex­ periment—-Rxchonge. Tbe Ice Buppijr. The ice supply put up during the winter performs a. merciful mission during the heated season. Not only does It add to tbe comfort of living, but prevents much waste that would otherwise take place In the foods used during the summer. Where one is lo­ cated near towns where large Ice sup­ plies are stored it may be cheaper to purchase It at intervals during the, nommer than put up a supply in win­ ter. . For the ordinary farm home on Jee house 10x12 and 10 feet high is c onsidered to be of sufficient size. A dead air space around tbe walla will prevent melting, while ventilation Is exceedingly important and should be arranged for when houses are con­ structed. Drainage Is also essential.

The Intensive farmer keeps hla soil busy all the time and the extensive farmer grows a single crop and lets his soil rest the remainder of the time. There is such a thing as letting land exhaust Itself In tbe growth of weeds. All kinds of stock are subject to loss of appetite when tbe food does not consist of a variety. A mess of cooked turnips may Improve an animal more than medicine. Always resort to a change of food when tbe animals seem to lose appetite. It is stated that If turnips are fed after instead of before milking tbe odor is not impart'd to the next milk­ ing. A teaspoonful of saltpeter added to a pall of lukewarm water as a drink for the cow Is claimed as a remedy for the difficulty when turnips are fed. A drain that is stopped up is one that Is not only nodservleeable, but a men­ ace to health. When foul there Is al­ ways a disagreeable stench therefrom, and. being always damp, substances decompose quickly. Nothing is more ' Important than to frequently examine • the outlet* of drain pipes and ditches in order to hare a free flow of water I In them.

Their army was much weaker than that of the Invaders, and was continually driven back, until at last Pbl^dvlphla bad fallen, and WasblDgtW apd hla ragged patriot* lut'd. gone into winter quarters at Val­ ley Forge, twenty miles from Phila­ delphia. While they shivered with cold and nearly starved, the twenty thousand* English and Hessian soldier* in Philadelphia feasted and rioted in the height ot pleasure. It was a gloomy contrast, Indeed. • Washington's march to Valley Forge was made in tbe middle of December. Thousands of bis then were without shoes or stockings, and the anow was marked by many a bloody footprint. The camp was laid out In rows of log cabins, the quarter* of the officers being opposite their respective regiments and companies. The position was a naturally strong one. I»eing protected by the river and hills, while entrench meats and redoubts were added/ Rifle­ men were stationed in-advance of the lines, and full prcautlons wer? taken against surprise. The huts were small and contained but one room each. Each cabin was occupied by twelve men. Few bad anything Id the way of bedding, many could not even obtain straw. . They huddled together on tbe bare floor, catching'what they could of the heat given out by the Are. and counting on the mutual warmth of their ImkIIck. When the wind moaned through, the crevices, nnd the fine snow sifted In through the logic, they nestled close to each othe- with chattering teeth and shivering bodies, won­ dering whether on the morrow any foot! would be left for them. During those woeful times, it is said. Isaac Potts, .returning through the woods to his home one day, overheard a voice as of some one In supplication. Peering among the trees he saw the commander-in-chief on his knees In fer­ vent prayer for his country and army. The farmer stole awny- unnoticed, and on reaching home assured his wife that he no longer doubted tbe success of the Americans. ■ The burdens heaped on the shoulders of Washington were indqftl enough to crush any man. but, great as they were, be was called upon to bear still more. Even a plot wns formed to supersede Washington, the active spirits in which were Conway, Gates. Mifflin, and General Charles Lee.' It Is known In history as the “Conway Cabal," and Its object was to place General Gates in supreme command—an officer who In ability, patriotism nnd statesman­ ship wns not to be thought of for a moment nt the aide of the Illustrious Father of his Country. Henry Laurens, who had .succeeded John Hancock as president of Congress, wns a warm friend of Washington and Informed him of everything that was going on. bnt the commander-in-chief maintained his silence and dignity through the whole conspiracy, and It soon collapsed. Then there enme to the gnnnt. famishing army at Valley Forgo it man whose arrival marked an epoch In tbe prowess of American arms. This personage was Baron Frederick von Steuben, a man two years older than Washington. He wns born In a Prussian fortress, passed bls childhood among soldiers, and became one himself when only 14 years of age. He fought bravely on some of the most famous battle fields of Europe. This ma« wns appointed Inspector general in place of Cqpwny. and he threw hla whole soul Into tbe work. His experience nnd ability were Invaluable In training the soldiers for the great and decisive battles that yet remained to be fought. Steulten possessed a frame of Iron, nnd never spared himself. He had a fiery temper, but tbe soldiers liked him none the worse, though they could not help smiling when, having exhausted his short supply of English, he would beg his lieutenant to thunder at the awkward fellows. He was. indeed, the Invaluable drill-master for Washington and furnished him a real army. Great good. then, flowed from the surrender of Burgoyne's army, which had taken place near Stillwater on tbe Hudson, on Oct. 17. 1777. Benjamin Franklin, then American ambassador at the court of France, at onev rttw a golden op;>ortunity to urge the claims of America, and tbe king, who bad already shown himself friendly. threw atiltTe all hvldtfttlon and tnnrouncedhls Intention of forming nn alliance with the Colonies. The treaty was successfully concluded, Feb. 6. 1778. By It France acknowledged the inde­ pendence of the United States and entered into relations of reciprocal friend­ ship with our country. It was agreed that they should make common cause, and that neither should treat with Great Britain for peace without the con­ sent of tbe other—tbe first and one of the most Important treaties ever made by America. England was incensed, our country was delighted. In the month of March, however, the English Parliament passed two conciliatory measures, which gave to the American all they had at first asked: It yielded the right to tax them, and recognized Congress ns a representative body. Only one concession wns lacking: Parliament didguot yet acknowledge the Independence of the United States. But the withdrawal of tbe English army from Philadelphia soon fol­ lowed. Expecting a war with France. England gradually concentrated all Its forces at New York, thus giving Washington a chance to strike a blow nnd fight n battle here nnd there, until finally In 1783 jieace was concluded and Independence gloriously won.—Illustrated Home Journal.

Over a Thonsand Foutff Fen Inlander* Are Drowned. Over uno thousand person* nre said to liarc pcriid>e|£ in n destructive storm that swept over the South Sea Islnifils. A huge tidal ware, accompanied by a ter­ rific hurricane, attacked tbe Society Islands nnd tbe Tuamutu group with fearful force, causing death and devas­ tation never before equaled in a laud of dreaded storms. Tbe storm reigned sev­ eral days, reaching its maximum strength between Jan. 14 nnd Jan. 16. The first news of the disaster arrive^ nt Papeete, Tahiti, Jan. 26, on the schooner Eirneo. The captain plac--d the fatalities nt 300. Trit steamer Excel­ sior arrived nt Papeete the following day with 400 destitute survivpr*. The captain of the Excelsior estimated the loss of life to be 8t/>. These figured com­ prised only the At albs on rhe three isl­ ands of lino, jlikuera and Mnkokau, whose ordinary population is 1.800. On Hiknera Island, Where 1.000 inhabitants were engaged in penri diring, nearly onehalf were drowuetl. On rtn adjacent isl­ and 100 more were washed <mt tu the •ea. Mnkokau and IIno nre depopulated. Conservative estimates at Tahiti place the number of. islands visited by tidal* wave and hurricane nt eighty. AH of them are under the control of the French governor at Tahiti. The surviving in­ habitants are left destitute of food, shel­ ter and clothing, everything haring been swept away by the storm. The French government took prompt relief measures, dispatching two war ships with fresh water and provision*. Tlie Italian manof-war Calabria aided in the errand of mercy. As »he islands were barely twen­ ty fret above the sen level and not sur­ rounded by coral reefs it waa necessary for all the inhabitants to take to the cocoanut trees when the tidal wave be­ gan to cover tbe land. These trees grow to an immense height, many reaching nn altitude of 100 feet. The natives in th* taller trees were safe until the roots gave way, and then they were swept far out into the sea. The 400 surviron brought by the Excelsior to Papeete gain­ ed the ship's side by swimming three and four mile* from the tops of the cocoauut tree*. ____ _____________ BUBON.C PLAGUE THREATENS.

Unless the movement grows heavier than this it is not likely to affect speculatife jM-ntihicnt materially. Our own country ia behind in exports so far, having sent *»ut since July 1 152,5»>5.538 bushels of wheat, compared with 170,1I.”. IftSliels tn th.- fnwiim jwn 1n the stock market the new develop--’ mi nts of the week were mainly favorable, but they failed to stimulate activity. The fiMlessnras of the market and lack of speculative interest on the part <»f the public- is in sharp contrast b» the commer­ cial and industrial prosperity of the coun­ try. 'While the many who have expfl&ctfr a bull market in stocks bare b<s-n dis­ appointed. the comparative quiet that ha* ruled for a time lias directed iutJrtst more towards the channels of trade and nmnufacturv. Many have had time bet­ ter to understand the wonderful develop^ meut west <>f the Mississippi, where n larger amount of capital is being invest­ ed in legitimate enterprises than ever before. The result of it all has been » healthy reaction, a falling away from the feverish excitement of a period of advancing prices in stocks, and a turning more to the examinatinn of the funda­ mental factors on which prosperity i* based, and to which value* in the long run inevitably adjust themselves.

How about the law requiring saloons tp be closed up on Sunday, back doors and frontdoors, and no person to be in there, and screens removed so that the interior of .the place may be open to Fubiic gaze? And how about our iws prohibiting gambling of all kinds? Are there no slot machines? I Is throwing of dice and all that sort of thing pot allowed? I feai; that such places are run about as the proprie­ tors want them to bo and not as the law requires. . . You say this is as good a town mor­ ally as any town in Michigan. You must either ha<e a strange idea of morality, or* a limited acquaintance with other tow,ns. Here is a statement clipped-from the Grand Rapids Even­ ing Press of the 17th insL tnat I think will show you that you are incorrect: to church. Blame the saloons for the harm they do. That is all right. It Ih comUBuo them, but do' not lay all of the dWltry going on among the young folks and the older ones too to the saloon. There are other influ­ ences and other opportunities for them to go wrong, and die blame should be be placed where it belongs. Make your churches what they ought to be, and pull these young folks upward. Teach them respectability, integrity, and honor, and the saloon will not bother them. There is sometimes much to tie seen in an introspective view. PRAISE FROM THE OTHER SIDE The stand taken by Senator Glas­ gow in the appointment of Tom Navin as a member of the slate prison board has won him merited praise from his constituents. Even the democrat papers of his district cannot help rec­ ognizing his flrm. Round judgment, and the following clippings will cer­ tainly be a scource of much satisfac­ tion to himself and friends, since they are from the only democrat papers in the district. Before election last fall the Lender re­ marked that C. L. Glasgow, of Nashville, then the republican candidate for »tate senator, locked l|ke a white man. Since he voted aval ns 1 the appointment of Tom Navin as a member of the Jackson prison board we are more than positive that we were correct .in making the statement we did.—Charlotte Loader. Il is to the lasting credit of Senator C. L. Glasgow, of this senatorial district, that his vote on the confirmation of con­ vict Navin was in the negative.—Hasting# Journal. We regard the appointment and con­ firmation of Navin to. such a promi­ nent office as only another indication of ring rule in Michigan politics and it would be to the everlasting credit of the state if more such men as Senator Glasgow occupied seats ia the Michi­ gan legislature. When it becomes necessary for th(Tgovernor of the great state of Michigan to place an ex-con­ vict, a men who once betrayed his trust and embezzled thousand of dol­ lars, in a position of trust, then we .say that it is with profound pity that diBcrimirrating men regard Gov. Bliss, and we wonder if the “party prece­ dent” which secured him the second term, did not do its worst. NUMBER 27 LdCAL AND PERSONAL. Greene, the tailor. Mrs. Knickerbocker is better.

A movement is on font by n majority «f the member* of1 the House to provide eneir member wirb a private secretary or clerk. A conference nf members, both Venmcrnts nnd Itephblicami, was held to consider the proposition. The subject >.as discussed at e»n«i<tvrab!c length nnd a committee on resolutions waa appoint­ ed to draft a suitable resolution, to be presented In the House.

The bill under consideration wns that of Repre­ sentative Francis of Alpena, providing that bills of the health boards shall be passed upon by bonrds of aupervisors. The committee on public health, of which Dr. Nottingham of Lansing in chairman, had struck out the wordt “necessary,’’ which would permit the Imnrdta of health to Incur such bills ns they might choose and which would practically nullify the proposed law. Representative Randall immediately offered an amendment to re­ place the word “necessary” and then the doctors caught it- The bill was finally agreed to by a big majority. It does not affect Detroit or Grand Rapids, where health boards operate under special *cts. Another bill taken up was one to com­ pel boards of supervisors to equalise township valuations at cash value. The bill would have permitted supervisors to raise the assessments of township*, but not to lower them. The bill atifred up considerable opposition nnd was killed.

The interest taken in the village caucuses held last Monday evening is certainly indicative of a warm fight at the polls next Monday. That both ticket^ are good ones is a fact which everyone will admit, and whichever aide wins it is certain that the business affairs of the village will be well cared for the coming year. The republican caucus was called at the opera house and quite a show­ ing qf repuolicaua was present. The chairman of the village committee, C. L. Glasgow, called the meeting to order and after reading the call gave a neat little talk on the advisability of nominating for the several offices only business men, who had the web­ fare of the village closest to their hearts, stating th a*, a man w bo is suc­ cessful in'his own business is certainly a safe man to trust with the affairs of others. He urged upon all republi­ cans to support the ticket, that it was the only way to bring success to the party. Mr. Glasgow was made Chairman of the meeting: Edwin D. Mallory, clerk; and Bert Wotrlng and Carl Tuttle were appointed tellers, after which the following ticket was nominated: . President—L. E. Lentz. Clerk—Carl Tuttle. Treasurer—Ray C. Townsend. Assessor—V. B. Furnlss. Counellmen—H. C. Zui'chnltt, S. L. !ii< k- and G. W. Gribbin. After the nominations were made thephairman appointed C. A. Hough.

The little one smil­ ingly replied “I guess no’.,” and kept on. Mr Hager watched him for some time, until he went out of sight behind a hill and a moment later he saw the horse reappear without a rider. He started on a run to see If the boy was hurt, and he found him lying appar­ ently lifeless beside, the road. He picked him up and tried to resuscitate him, but the lad’s neck had been Jjroken by the fall and he was beyond earthly help. Kenneth was not quite eight years old but was a bright little fellow and the idol of his parents and loved by all who knew him. His sad death will be a hard blow to his parents and their friends and neighbors. The funeral was held at the Kllpat-’ rick church Sunday afternoon, and was largely attended. The bereaved parents have the heart­ felt sympathy of the whole community in their sorrow. LAID TO REST.

Tbe bill providing for primary elections fa Wayne County was unanimously pass­ ed by both honses on Tuesday. The Kent County bill was also given rapid action, all of tbe twenty-five Senators voting for it. but the bill was not put through the House, because Representa­ tive Anderson of Grand'Rapids wanted a chance to read it. Many new bills were introduced. Representative C. E. Ward of Shiawassee has evolved a plan to have air text books used in the public schools' of Michigan printed and bound fa some State prison. Hfa bill on the subject provides that the superintendent of pub­ lic fastruction, the deputy superfatendeot of public instruction and the president of the normal college shall constitute a State board of text book commissioners. They may acquire, by purchase or other­ wise, copyright of text books, and then they are to select some penal institution best suited for the purpose, which fa to be equipped with printing and binding machinery, and the inmates are to print and bind the books.

It proposes to amend the liquor law so that the council of any city or village may provide that no treating shall be done in saloons, and also provides that where thfa is done liqnor licenses may be reduc­ ed from $500 to $300. In line with a time-honored custom the Michigan legislators celebrated the last night for introducing bills by playing horse Wednesday.

The Senators were comparatively tame, but things were kept moving in the House. Th© total number of bills introduced fa tbe House fa 1,199, whereas there were 1/153 fa 1901, so that this .year's number is 15S leas. The Senate, however; has more bills than fa 1901, 567 being introduced, which Is an increase of 11. The total In both houses thfa year is 1,766. or 14S less than fa 1901. The entire ground ol the old timers has been covered, except that railroad bills are fewer, especially those proposing changes in laws as tc taxation of such, concerns. One of the most interesting pieces of liquor legisla­ tion proposed fa contained in a bill in­ troduced by Representative Reynolds, of the Benzie-Leelanaw district.

Neal, of Northville, has a skeleton as to taxes for the State militia. He says the national government now provides much of the expense of equipment and camps, and says that the increase of pop­ ulation, under the 5 cents per capita law, has given the militia so much money on account of added population, that it may be advisable to cut down the figure.

The proper way to harvest clover h the proper way and there Is but one proper way. In the first place do not cut it too green, nor allow It to get too ripe. When about half tbs top blooms get ripe and brown and some of tho leave* begin to brown then it Is the time to cut It for hay If the weather If dry; Otherwise let It stand a few days longer—for its. better to let it grow than to get It wet to the swathe. It docs not ripen fast In rainy weather, but continues to grow. Do not begin mowing until the dew haa gone off in the mcfrnlng. Never cut It when wet^-or the bay will be damaged. It is bsst to cut for only a few hours and if the clover Is not un­ usually heavy It can be raked late In the afternoon In windrows and shock­ ed, when it can stand several days be­ foreStocking. This Is the best way. If the. weather is favorable, as the hay cures brighter and better. Otherwise let it stand In the windrow and spread out the next day to cure, and stack to the afternoon. ' By putting It Iu the windrow It save* It from getting wet by the dew, which Is almost as bad on it as a rain. Should It rain ou It. spread out and dry thoroughly—never stack It green, ns It will mold. Remember to have It cured as thoroughly as It Is practicable to handle It without the leaves falling off. A gallon or two of salt to the load sprinkled over It at tbe time of stack­ ing Improves It In color and prevents it moldtag. It should be stacked In the barn, or. If outdoors, covered with straw or something that will turn wa­ ter. It there are vceds in It, more time win be required to cure it Never put It in the stack until the stems are dry enough that you can’t wring water out of them. The hay should rattle.— Missouri and Arkansas Farmer and Fruitman. ' Thore are many farms throughout tbe country whose1 owners cannot atford to fertilise them heavily or even to give them tbe quantity needed to keep them In fair condition. As a re­ sult such farms are running down be­ cause the crops consume more fertiliz­ ing materia! than Is supplied by lhe farmer; In other words, the crops are drawing too heavily upon tbe sxored■ up fertility, of the soil Just as men Siimetlines draw too heavily on the stored-up or surplus vitality of their . bodies. Any soil to do the work.required of It should be fertilized so that It will be ns nearly' fertile after the crop Is taken from it as It was before, hence fertilizers must be supplied In excess of tbe needs of the growing crop. To bring up a rundown farm is not an easy task, especially when one Is ham­ pered to the free use of fertilizing material, but It may l>e done and In­ expensively by the combination of green manures, commercial fertilizers, stable manure nnd tillage. Itely mainly on the legumes such ns cow |»ea«, crimson clover and the vel­ vet bean for humus and nitrogen; use stable manure scattered thinly over the ground, and for commercial fer­ tilizers use mainly those richest in potash and phosphoric acid. Supple­ ment these fertilizers by frequent and thorough tillage and the farm will gradually Improve. In growing any crop one should hare all the knowl­ edge possible of what plant food that crop will take from the soil in the greatest- quantities, and in fertilizing npply that particular food to excess of the needs of tbe crop at least to the extent that Is taken from the soli*.

I was indeed in a critical condilion. I could not go from tbe bouse alone, as I was liable to sudden collapse. I tried hospital treatment, but no relief or good results came to me. I could not sleep; anything that I ate increased my agonies: I was extremely weak, restless, tired, aqd despondent; was obliged to walk about with my hands pressed firmly into my left ride to ease my pains; my feet and hands were cold continually; had >indinalion to vomit, had profuse, cold sweats, quick breathing, and would be racked with pain for hours at a time. “After the regular use of Paine's Celery Compound for a time, I am now in the l>est of healtn, nave good appetite, and can use any kind of food.

Many of the people who have not attended any of the plays which they have put on here will go to -Grand Rapids, paying car fare, pay fifty cents to a dollar for seat*, see'a play no better than those presented here this week and will then, come home and rave for a year over what they saw. But when city companies are brought to their doors and an oppor­ tunity given them to see an excellent performance at very low prices,', they stay at home. The management has hard during the past two ,years to present strong attractions acd not half a dozen of the en ter tain mentg have been given half the patron­ age they-were deserving of. Evidently what the people of Nashville want Is such people as John Drew, Wm. Faversnam, Anna Held, etc., at about five and ten cents admission. The management appreciates the loyal patronage which' has been accorded by a few faithful ones who have been constant patrons, but there will have to be a radical picking up In the at­ tendance if more good companies are to be booked under the present man­ agement.

A well-known farmer In eastern New York State, J. T. McDonald, reports favorably of bls experience with a' farm electric-lighting plant. He put In « fifty-light dynamo costing $30u nnd paid out about $100 more for wir­ ing, etc. He has n brook running through his farm which supplies the power. There are sixteen lights in the ttlables, and the house Is lighted throughout whenever desired by turn­ ing on the switch. The povjrcr of the current is regulated by nn indicator In tbe kitchen, and all the trouble neces­ sary- Is to watch the indicator nnd change the voltage to correspond with tfae bumber of lights that have been turned on or off. CThe two wires are dfawn tightly on a sweep, and so ar­ ranged with a gear wheel that the water gate may be easily manage^. It 4>elng very sensitive to the slightest change In the voltage, and very easily controlled without leaving the kitchen. Mr. McDonald says the convenience cannot be realized without trial, and no other Investment which he ’has made has pjeased him so well. those who have not a brook to furnish power, an apparatus has recently, been invented, costing about ?3u0 all up and wired ready for use. It Is a combined gasolene motor nnd generator, and is said to prove quite satisfactory.— American Cultivator. A recent publication-by -Prince* Kro­ potkin, tbe Russian ecouomist, recites some of tbe effects of intensive culture in tbe possible yields. Thus iu Bel­ gium they grow enough agricultural products to feed their owu population of 400 inhabitants to the square mile, and have enough left to send $5,000,­ 000 worth each year to Great Britain. If we could do as well In our fields, tbe State bf New York might furnish food for 23.000,000 people, aud Texas could feed twice tbe present population of the United States. The prince tells of instances where eighteen tons ot bay n year have been gathered from a single acre, and an acre has produced 1.500 to 2,000 bushel* of potatoes. But this Is as nothing compared to tbe crops under glass in Belgium and the Isle of Jersey, where the land Is kept under cultivation all the year, one crop being ready to succeed another without any Interval. By this method he claims that thirteen acres undsr glass tn Jer­ sey have produced better money re­ turn* than 1^00 acres under ordinary methods of farm cultivation. This inuat be a satisfaction to those who are wor'rying from a fear that the world will not produce enough to feed tbe grand­ children of tbe present generation.—* Exchange. - Tbe Farm Journal gives some points of value to be observed In caring for man's beat friend ou the farm: The use nnd value of farm horses are often •eriously impaired’ by lack of proper ►tabling.

It Is an awful sight to see dairy cows come wading Into the barn through a pond of mud and manure tea coming up to the udder nnd wetting and be­ daubing tbe teats so soon to be stripped of their fluids. Say, there Is little poetry about the cows coming home In the gloaming when they wade through this horrid bog hole. And the worst of ft Is there is no need of such n slough of despond. Take n. tmin nnd draw In some old stock bottom or other trnsh if 5%u can do no better and All up the hole. Next summer-yon can draw it out for manure and fill up with dirt. Get rid of the nuiance in some­ way. It Is robbing yon of money and your cows of health. At the present rate of consumption the timber supply of the United Suites Hi view will, according to B; E. Fernon, be exhausted within thirty years. As sixty to one hundred years are re­ quired for the production of a full crop iniliable timber, and for other reasons, few farmers can engage in this busi­ ness. For the production of wood for fuel purposes, however, the time re­ quired Is only twenty to thirty years, and waste lauds may be utilized for this purpose.

The atteptlon of tho railroad world is pretty well centered cn Wabash just now, on account of its sea­ board aspirations. The Frisco is planning expenditures along lines similar to those of the Wa­ bash; that is, its funds will go largely into new construction. It has announc­ ed its intention of securing a footing in New Orleans, probably through a new line from its present terminus at Mem­ phis, and has planned big terminals in leans another through line to Chicago and St. IxniiM. In Canada it is estimated that some 9100.000.000 is to be spent . for ln-ttertnents to roads and for new construction by the Grand Trunk, which has planned a new line to the Pacific coast.

The children, God bless them, arc the buds and flowers of our homes. Without their prattle and hearty laughter, our homes would be desolate. They should ever be carefully tended in childhood and youth, if we expect them ro ripen intoyerfeci men and women. In the home and at school, the children have tbeir times of ill health and suffering. We often note the pallid and bloodless cheeks, heavy eyes, nervous movements, and twitch­ ing* of ijmlrt and muscles. They complain of headache, drowsiness, weariness, dyspepsia, and indigestion. All such symptoms and ailmenu mean that the seeds of disease will have a fast and firm hold, unless proper measures are taken to restore a perfect condition of health. Thousands of wise and prudent parents have made their children happy, healthy, and vigor­ ous by giving them nature's medicine, Paine'* Celery Cotnpovnd. In many severe and com­ plicated cases, Paine's Celery Compound has restored health when the Hide ones were given up by physicians.

Perry, Editor of the Enterprise. Shortsville. N. Y. ••This is tbcJioncst truth. I at times kept from coughing myself to pieces by taking a teaspoonful of this remedy, and when the coughing spell would come on at night I would lake a dose aud it seemed that m the briefest interval the cough would pass off and I wduld go to sleep perfectly free from cough and its ac­ companying pains. To say that the remedy acted a* a most agreeable surprise is putting kt very mildly. I had no idea that it would or could knock out the grip, simply because I had never tried k for such a purpose, but it did.'aril! it seemed with the second attack of coughing tbe remedy caused it not only to be of less duration, but the pains were far les* severe, and I had not used the contents of one bottle before Mr. Grip had bid me adieu."

Accident on Coal Hoist of Buoahine The- breaking of a coupling, followed by the runaway of a atring of loaded coal can in the Sunshine mine at South Fork, Fa.,, caused the death of three men, tbe fatal injury of one, and injuries to nine others.

In tbe United States Circuit Court of Appeals in St. Ix>uls au opinion was handed down by Judge Thayer tn the case of the Supreme Council of the Royal Arcanum versus Anna J. Taylor. The case is remanded with instructions that the plaintiff is not entitled to recover. Ths decision will be of interest to fra­ ternal organizations and members insur­ ed against, death in these organisations. Anna J.’ Taylor is the widow of George P. Taylor, a member of Arapahoe Lodge, Denver. He wax insured for <8,000 in 1806 nnd died in November, 1000. Pay went of the insurance certificate was. con­ tested on tbe ground that he had not paid the monthly nareMsment of October. 1900. due on the Inst day of that month, nnd therefore, was suspended according to the bylaws. The collector failed to pay Taylor's assessment for October, ns he had been in the habit of doing when it was overdue, and when it was tendered three days later, just before Taylor’s death, ,? was refused on tbe ground that under the bylaws Taylor was undur suspension. Mrs. Tsylor recovered judg­ ment against the supreme council, which appealed. Judge Thayer says the ques­ tion is whether the supreme council was cognizant of the practice of the collec­ tor in accepting the assessment of Tay­ lor after be was delinquent and whether it ratified such practice by accepting the delinquent's assewiraent in violation ot its bylaws. He’ finds nothing in the evidence to warrant this prefiBwptiun. Gen. Miles’ dollar, the whereabouts of which was unknown for forty-three, yean, has been located. The Five CentsSavings Bank in.

The south-bound train was first to' get to . Cyclone aud found a freight on the siding. The freight was so long tbM all of the passenger train could not get on the siding, leaving half of it on the main track. A heavy fog prevailed, nnd a brakeman from the pas­ senger tarin was sent ahead to flog th-, north-bound train. Tho brakeman carried a red lantern, but he did not get the signal to tha north-bound crew, and tbe engineer, seeing the headlight of the, freight on the siding, mistook it for the passenger engine and started to run by.

The Trinity of success io our shoe department is undoubtedly the appearance, wear and price of our shoes. The first is an aid to quick sales. The second is necessary to satisfy and retain customers. The third is the magnet that attracts everybody and makes a person once a customer, always a customer. APPEARANCE Is largely the result of perfect fitting lasts and patterns. We have a large and complete assortment of men’s, ladies' and children’s shoes. There are no better fitting or smarter looking shoes for ladles than the Drew-Selby. Economy, Durability, Comfort and Style are what we claim for them. WEAR is partly the result of a well fitted shoe, but the moat Important factor is good leather. Our shoes are made from standard brands of dongola, kangaroo calf, box calf, satin calf, patent kid, patent colt and other upper leathers from the French and American tanneries. We buy no sheep skins or caposetias. The soles are best quality oak-tanned. The Insoles and counters are leather, pure and simple. PRICE is determined by the cost of production and prpfit ex­ pected. We buy right and take advantage of all discounts and are satisfied to sell on a close margin of profit. Children's shoes 25c, 35c, 50c, 75e and 81. Ladle’s shoes 81, 81.50,82,82.50, 83,13.50.

Tuesday there was in attendance a big crowd of school superintendents from various parts of the western side of the State, who urged the joint committee* on education of the two houses to give n favorable report to the bill to establish n new normal school on their fide of Michigan. The burden of their song was that more trained teachers arc peedin! In the country schools. The promoters <>f the plan named uo particular place for the achool, realizing that if this was done, representatives from all ' other places would fight for It The bill leaves the location of the rebool in tbe hands of the State board of education. In 1809 J. H. Dickerson, the colored aepremmtative from Detroit, worked hard and se­ cured the passage of a bill to prevent lynchings and mob violence generally. The law provides that persons injuretl by mobs may collect damages from the counties where the act is committed. Cures have been found where two or three ‘people have scheQtii! to make it apl>enr that they have been mobbed in order to get damages. Representative Oviatt introduced a bill to repeal the Dickerson act, and it was a special or­ der for Tuesday afternoon. There *as *<>me opposition to the bill, but it was agreed to by a big majority. - • Insurance Commissioner Barry has i»- life Insurance business -in ■ the 'State dur- ’ lug the past year. The aggregate of business of tbe old line Insurance com­ panies for tbe year was as follows: Poli­ cies issued. $33,900,280.00; police, in force Dec. 31, $220^53,388.88; pren»innn received $7,926 “2O.IN; lowes incurred, $2,490,09d;35. There should be no com­ parison. however, la-tween the amount of premiums received and the losses sus­ tained, since premiums paid during the year must cover the cost of carrying. in­ surance for many years to come. The figures show that n large amount ?<f new insurance was written In the State dur­ ing the year, tbe increase in the value of policies famed being $7,000,000 over the previous year. Since the report of one year ago fire old line life insurance companies have been admitted to do busi­ ness in the State. One .casualty com­ pany. ten assessment companies and six fraternal companies hare also been ad­ mitted. It is Interesting to note that the industrial insurance companies have been doing a large business in the State during the year, one New York company having issued 41.327 policies having a face value of $6,013,526. Another east­ ern company has issued 23,670 policies; the total industrial policies burned , amounting to 71,578 Id number and $10,­ 198,120 in value.. Plate glare, surety, nccident and casualty companies received ' during the year $874,651,55 in premiums, and Incurred Iomcs of $300,942.13. Senator Charles Smith’s bill providing for a new equalisation for purposes of State taxation wo* lost in the Senate Wednesday. veteran legislator from the copper country had hoped to get n new adjustment of tax figures under which upper peninsula counties would have their burden lightened, his meas­ ure providing that the new equalisation should be made by the State tax commis­ sion instead of by tho State board of equalization, as in the past. After an apparent victory over the liquor forces the previous week. Representative Holmes of Gratiot, the temperance ad­ vocate of tbe House, went down to bitter defeat before the "wets,” as hi* bill to provide greater stringency as to liquor dealers’ bonds was sent back to the judi­ ciary committee to be “ironed out.” Tbe bills to liberalize the Michigan inw as to corporations were finally merged into one measure and Chairman Ferty of the* committee on private corporations report­ ed the bill favorably.

The recent flood along the Grand river at Grand Rapids carried away an im­ portant bridge just north of tbe city, nnd a bill was Introduced to bond the whole of Kent County for $30,000 to build a new one. Tbe measure passed the House, but Senator Weekea, who represents the country part of Kent, opposed the bill, holding that the two townships which the new bridges would connect should pay for it. Senator Burns, representing Grand Rapids, favored the bill, as tho city is much interested in haring a.hri-Jge at this point. The farmers of tbe Senate, however, .supported Weekes, and the bill was defeated, 13 to 13. Some good lob­ bying was done the next day for the bill. ex-Senator Ed .Barnard doing the work. The bill was amended so as to provide that the improvement shall be paid for by tbe whole of Kent County, but is to be maintained by Grand Rapids nnd tho two townships which it connects. In this shape the bill was passed by both houses with Immediate effect. Clarence Clark, a young Lansing at­ torney, la concerned in n plan to estab­ lish a municipal criminal court ia Lan­ sing, a bill for that purpose being before the House committee on city .corpora­ tions, it being said that Clark is ambi­ tious to be judge of the proposed new court. He was before tbe committee re­ cently to advocate the establishment of the new court, and was opposed by II. J. Wright, who spoke on behalf of taxpay­ ers. Three of the members of the com­ mittee favor two judges for the court, which is not what Clark wants. Under the terms of the bill amending the medical registration law osteopaths would not be entitled to tbe title of M. 1). unless they qualified like ordinary phy­ sicians. The osteopaths have raised a kick about this, and have pkesoated n separate bill providing for examinations of practitioners of this class. Dr. Not­ tingham, author of'the pedical bill, says his measure will be amended in accord with the demands of the osteopaths. During a storm the electric lights in the capital went out and the legislators thought it was due to the atmospheric disturbance. It was learned afterward' that the darkness was caused by a alight fire in the basement Some of the trans­ mitters in the basement filled with •oil which ignited. Tbe fire, however, was quickly extinguished withon.t alarm. Rev. Mr. Paddock of Charlevoix has started his anti-sleeping car campaign by having taken from the House table a bill to license the selling of Uquor on buffet cars and the bill to tax sleeping and chair car business. The first bill went to the committee on liquor trafiie and tbe otber to the committee on rail­ roads. The judiciary committee of the Sonata reported favorably Senator Moriarity’* bill making it a felcry for a convict of a peps) Institution to escape.

Wheeler of Salem, Washtenaw County, was one of the sturdy honest farmer members. Tbe other day Speaker .Oar­ ton appointed Representatives Whitaker, Colby and Read a committee to draw up resolutioa* on the death of Mr. Wheeler. Representative Wells of Marquette was given a surprise. He had Introduced a bill forming a new township to be named Edwards.

PLOT TO BLAY ROOSEVELT. BOOT CLEARS GEN. WOOD, Secretary Root has taken official action on the charges made by Estes G. Rath­ bone againkt Brig. Gen. Leonard Wood. He made au indorsement- ou the papers, saying that no answer to the charges was required from Gen. Wood aud no action will be taken thereon, that It was known to the Secretary of War that th/charges in every respect were without jb*t foun­ dation. The Secretary refers to the part taken by the military governor in the nostofflee cases in which Rathbone was a defendant, saying that Gen. Wood at every step had the approval of the Sec­ retary of War and exercised only such control as was necessary as military gov­ ernor. He refers to the game of Jai Alai, and declares that the gift accepted by Gen. Wood had no relation whatever to any official action of bis. but was part of the expression of gratitude of the Cuban people toward the representative of the United State*.

HELP FOR ERIN. trodnccil in Parliament. At last the long-awaited Irish land bill has been introduced Into Parliament and there I* ground for tin- belief that it mark* a turning jx>int in the history of Ireland. Whatever defect* the bill may have, there can he no doubt that it look* toward un era uf better tiling and that, as John Redmond said in his speech. It represent* n sincere effort to tnk^ hold ot tbe great Irish question in a practical' nnd helpful way. The’measure, *o far 4* outlined, in many particulars strongly resembles the plan approved at the re­ cent conference of landlord* and tenants In Dublin. It provides n w*T whereby the poor tenants of Irish land shall be enabled to bectune actual owners of their holding*. To make possible the purchase of this hind from the Irish landlords the British government proposes to furnish $00,000,000 a« a margin between' pay­ ment* to landlords and money repaid by tenants.' . Tenants arc to pay 3% percent inter­ est on loans from the government. Mr. Wyndham said he thought the scheme would not involve $500,000,000, but that $750,000,000 could safely l»e advanced ou Irirh land. The advances to'tenants are limited to $2,500 in the congested .dis­ trict* and 35.QOO elsewhere. The biil also provide* that untenantc-d farms and grazing lands ahnll be sold to neighbor­ ing tenants and that three commission­ ers, to be known as estate commission­ ers. shall supervise the spies. At the present tim6 there arc l«etween 875,000 ami -100,000 tenants of Irish soil who have been suffering the evils of the lahdtord syttem. In those cases where landlords were willing to sell their lands and thus put the tenant in the way of becoming an independent land owner th'; landlords’ prices were higher than tht tenants conld possibly pay. The British government’s present plan is to solve tUe difficulty by advancing a sum sufficient to satisfy tho landlords, permitting the ten­ ants to pay back- in yearly installments the price they can afford and virtually making up the difference out of the Brit­ ish treasury. It has been estimated that with tbe peace nnd security that will follow the wiping out of landlordism the Irish police force of 14,000 men can bo reduced to oue-third or one-quarter nf lt« present size. This reduction alone would cause a great saving to the English tax­ payer. If this plan, which has been carefully matured and favorably received by land­ lords and tenant* alike, shall prove suc­ cessful a better day Is dawning fpr Ire­ land. -1——। “Only ou* dlstlncjly un-.

A light shone in her lustrous blue eyee, which gave her the expression of an angel, for such she was—an angel to her Southern home, which, without her, would have been dark and cheerless.

BLACK-DRAUGHT THE ORIGINAL Although It was argued at the time the sleomargarine act was under considera­ tion to Congress that the tax of 10 cents a pound imposed upon the product color­ ed in imitation of butter would not injurionaly affect the Industry, the claim of the opponents of the law that it would is being realized. The official statistics given put by the commissioner of inter-, nnl revenue show thnt. although the tax on the uncolored product was reduced from 2 cento to one fourth of n cent a pound, the revenue derived during the eight months ending Feb. 28 last was only $124,800, compared with receipts of $1,483,932 during the corresponding pe­ riod’ of the previous year under the old law. The total receipts from oleomarga­ rine trader the new law during the eight months was $2S8T»3S. compared with $1.9O8.«H during lite corresponding period under the old tow. The revenue collect­ ors have found that the consumption of oleomargarine under the new law is less than one-twelfth what it was under the old law. In the eight month* last men­ tioned only 0,000,000 pounds was taxed, while under the old law 74.000.000 pounds' wa* taxed.

Action by the President and the Seeindication of n policy changed lor the better in the matter of resignations ami reinstatements in the army. Secretary Hoot accepted the resignation of an ar­ tillery officer with the indorsement, "for the good of the service.’’ The officer had mbbehaved repeatedly, until it was evi­ dent tiint he did not belong in the army. In other days it has been the custom simply to accept the resignation without ‘written comment. The offending officer was thus .placed on a par with faithful men who retired for honorably, reasons. Secretary Hoot’s course is designed to make the papers conform to the facts. In the other case. President Roosevelt vetoed a trill to place on the retired list an officer who had been cashiered some years ago. The record showed that the man was unworthy, and the President’s reason for his act was that the. placing of such a person on the retired list would be unjust to every honest officer who had reached that list by faithful service. When the special session of the Unit­ ed States Senate was called to order there were thirteen new faces.

Miehignu railrnadii do not want a State commlsaion to fix rates for freight on thalr lines In Mk'btf gan. That fact was made evident when half a dozen attorneys of the roads ap­ peared before the joint railroad, commit-, tees of the two bonzes to argue against the bill proposing to submit to the |»e«>plc the question of amending the <-ou.- tittnion so that the Legislature may pro­ vide for the appointment of such i) eomnramiou. On the other side were several manufacturers, who insisted tliat such a commission is necessary, in order that shippers may get just treatment. The Detroit member* of the House in the evening turned down the bill providing for an inane of $150,000 in bonds for a new casino on Belle Isle. It was found that pic bill contemplated that these bonds should not come under the legal limit of 2 per cent of the city's assessed valuation and-the board of estimates ond Council' wore disregarded. Future gen­ erations of Michigan taxpayers , will be called upon to take care of many city, county, village^ township and *choul dis­ trict improvements to be made within the next year or two. This may be seen in th^ number of bllta already passed by the present Is'giidatnre permitting muni­ cipalities to issue bonds for various pur­ poses. Twcnty-«ix of >">ch measures have already been passed and signed by Goy. Bliss, with a total of l>onds authorized bn those wherein n definite limit is fixed, amuuBting to $060805, besides two bills in which no definite figure is given. Botb houses have paused the Wayne County sinking fund bilk Those -who favor an appropriation -for a Michigan exhibit at the St. Louis ex-’ position have begun a petition campaign. Among the bills passed on third read­ ing by the Senate is that providing that Wayne Circuit juries shall be chosen every thirty days. It looks a* If the railroads had sue. reeded in again fighting off any general legislation a* to freight rates, at least for the present session. The Senate finance committee ’reported favorably tbe bill for a Michigan exhibit at the St. jx)uis world’s fair, the appro­ priation being left nt $125,000. The House ha* agreed to a bill to ex­ empt from taxation tbe funds of mutual l>eii<-tit aocietics. Though such funds aro now taxable, the tux commlasiou has made do effort to place them on tbe. roils. Some joker in the House conceived the idea uf adjourning the Legislature from May 1 to Jan. 1. 1904, and thus allow the lawmaker* to draw pay during the intervene. Of course the scheme isn’t considered seriously. The House has agreed to the bill to* sell tbe old State capitol on Washing­ ton avenue. I-ansing, the purpose being to nse the proceeds to build an executive mansion. The Senate has already pass­ ed a bill for the name puriKme. The House committee of the whole agreed to the bill prohibiting telegraph or telephone linemen from trimming bhade trees without consent of the own­ ers of the property. It does not apply to cities where the matter is regulated by- ordinances. Prof. -Vaughn of the U. of M.; Dr. J cntiings of Detroit, Secretary Baker of the State board of health nnd a number of other physicians urged the Home com­ mittee on public health to report favora­ bly on tbe^iill to establish * hospital for consumptives.

Senator Moriarity’s bill passed the oth­ er day affecting the paroling of convicts simply gives the Governor power under certain conditions to allow a paroled convict to leave th? State, and making it pnaaible to retake him from another State if he break* the parole. Another bill of Moriarity’s passed the same afternoon provides for further punislxncnt for evcaped convicts when their terms have ex­ pired. The House, in committee of the whole, filed a bill to permit tbe br d commit­ tee to sell timber from State swamp and agricultural college lauds and to sell or lease such lands when demanded. Mem bers from counties bi the upper part irf the lower peninsula, where most of there lands arc located, declared that vacant lands, of this kind are now used for grazing purposes by arttiers in that sec­ tion, and they demanded that this accommodathm fur their constituents be cuntiuunl. The other members felt, othrrwise and filed the bill. The liquor committer* of the two uouoes have derided to report favorably the Fuller bill providing that brewer* ■ shall nut have to pay a $500 Hcwnse in every county where they may have warehousu*. which they are compelled to do according to n Kapryme Court decisiqn under the present law.

It doc** not necessarily mean heavy expenses and a vast deal of labor to Improve the grounds around the farm home, but such Improvement would add greatly to the value of the phtce, to say nothing of the addftlbnrto Its beauty. Tbe first thing to be- done Is to get a good lawn, the background of the picture. Hollow* should be filled in and hummocks leveled ho as to obtain a smooth surface, though not a flat one unless the ground is naturally flat. .If the space for the lawn has been properly seeded, all necessary to do now Is a little reseed­ ing.- If, however, tbe lawn Is really nothing but meadow, it should be plowed up nnd properly seeded down, using a good lawn mixture, which can be obtained from any reputable seeds­ man. This done, set one or two or even three ornamental trees, such as cut-leaf birch, purple-leif beech, or even the common rock, or sugar maples. Then provide one corner of the plot for a clump of shrubs rather than dott^pg the shrubs over tbe grounds. Weigellaa, altbeas calycanthus, viburnum, forsythla and syrlnga are among the shrubs suitable for such a plot and they are moderate In price. A Iwrder for flowering plants may be made along tbe walk or near the house, nnd In this border may be set hardy perennials or some of the flow­ ering annuals of which one Is fond. If this plan Is too' elaborate for tbe first season, then confine tbs work to getting a good lawn and next year go on and add the other features.

He would stalk into the nuraeroom or into the ward. if ha saw the head nurse thcro'and puffing the smoke from his old pipe into her face would growl out: "How many bed* do yex think yes wants this morn in’?” On being told he invariably replied: “Shura an’ yez won’t git ’em.” And usually there came up one less than was ordered. He also attended to the empty ifig of the garbage can which stood on the fire-escape of each ward, and woe to the peace of mind of a head nurse in whose can he discovered •oiled towels or clothing, thrown there by some careleM nurse or patient. She might be making the rounds with a visiting physi­ cian or tbe superintendent, it mattered not to Hugh. He would stalk up to her with Che articles found, held between a dirty thumb and forefinger, and, thrusting them at her, would hsas between his teeth, shut tight on the stem of the cob pipe: "Shura an’ if iver I foind the loikes av this ag’ia 1’11 have tbe warden after yes, don’t yes fengit it. Such a waste of good county linen, bedad!” The most arrogant of bead nurses would quail under tbe baleful glare of Hugh’s wicked black eyes as hp delivered this ulti­ matum. Some tried cajoling, others scolded, the timid ones wept, but he continued on his insolent way with superb indifference. Nurse* might come and nurses might go, but Hugh continued lo furnish straw beds to the warily wards. He actually succeeded in driving one head nurse to resigning. She had come to tbe boapitai a raw country girl, but in some way had succeeded in ingrati­ ating herself with the superintendent and when she finished her course she was given a position as salaried Mrad nurse. Like many other* with her antecedents, ahe did not know how to use a little brief authori­ ty. . The first morning of her reign ahe addressed Hugh as “my good aura."

The next morning he appeared before her with some towels marked with the num­ ber of he/ ward which be declared he had found ia the garbage can. He gave her the customary warring. The next day be ap­ peared again. It was '.jailing day and there were many visitors. He stalked into tho ward, end, shaking the soiled articles in her face, declared in a loud voice that be was on his way to see the warden and re­ port her. She tried to quiet him, but ho actually marched into the warden’s office with the soiled articles. The superintendent •and the other nurses gave her scant con­ solation. She had been warned that if she valued her peace of mind she would not offend this autocrat. So ahe packed her trunk and betook herself to private duty forthwith. After that whenever Hugh had been dsinking he would boast how be “driv out the bead nurse from ward 6. Begorry, she cudn’t stand the pressure.” One day a little nune was given charge of a ward. She had often been a witness to tilts between Hugh knd the head nurses, in which the latter were worsted. The first morning he appeared she was writing a diet list. He stalked -n and, as she raised her eyes, he sent a cloud of tobacco smoke into her face. Her resentment overcame her fear and, drawing herself to her full bright of five feet two and advancing to­ ward him, sbe said, sternly: “How dare yon walk into my nurseroom in this way? Go out into the hall this minute and never step across this threshold again.” He looked down at her with a scornful laugh and said: "Ye little rid-headed ban­ tam pullet, yex, I cud wring yer neck widout half thryin’.” But he walked out and never intruded again, contenting himself with sending her word by a patient: “Mr. O’Leary awaits yer pleasure.’.' Being the smallest nurse in the school she naturally wore the longest and broad­ est apron ties. One day aa she was walking along the corridor a hoarse voice behind her growled: “Shore, ye’ve enough cloth in yer apur-r-n shtrings to make me a ahir-rt.*' It was Hugh. She prided torsel i on having the neatest ward in tbe hospital. Hugh was aware of this’aod frequently sent up ward to her: “Yer fire-escape looks like a holy terror an’ the county commurioners is here, bedad.” • One morning one of tbe fumigatora came for orders for straw beds. He said “tbe old man” was aick. Two days later Hugh wa« brought to the little nurse's ward with pneumonia.

The greatest profit is usually ■deriv­ ed from the,live stock during tbe sum­ mer months. This is not due to the higher market prices, but to the ad vantages afforded by the spring nnd summer conditions, and to tbe -heap food that may be hod In the form of pasture. Clover, rape and blue grass, with grain food, will so cheapen the cost of producing a pound of flesh that good profits are secured with a lower selling price.

Harrison has been re-elected Mayor of Chicago, receiving I4GJJ23 votes to 138.485 for Stewart, 112307 for Breckon, Socialist, and for Cruice, tbe Labor candidate, who fell fnr short •jf the vote he counted on. The Demo­ cratic candidate for City Treasurer was elected by over 10,000 more vote* than Msyor Harrison, but Aldcrmkn Smulski* ■the Republican candidate for City Attor­ ney, nnd F. C. Bender, the Republican candidate for City. Clerk, both received small pluralities. The campaign was free from jiersonalities. It was confined to the intelligent discussion of municipal queatkins. • An analysis of tbe retnrns on the may­ oralty vote by words shows that while Mayor Harrison lost heavily all through the city from his vote of two year* ago. he still bad tdo much of a start for hia opponent to overtake him. Thi* loss i«nt on its fact; what it may mean, should the idleness be prolonged for a few months, as now wrmi not unlikely, can only be conjectured. The trouble had its start in a demand for a 10 per cent increase in wages made by the Textile Council, which is a centra! body in which the different unions in the textile business are represented. The unions whose delegates participated in tbe demand were the mule spinners, loom fixers, beamers, weavers, carders jnd napperr, having an estimated mem­ bership at the time the demand was made of only 1,500. They had, how­ ever, the sympathy of the other opera­ tives .and during the last three fcecks the latter to tiro extent of pethaps 90 per cent have joined the different unions of their trades. The demand for 10 per cent imyrase in wages was formulated by the Textile Council on March 1 and wm immedi­ ately submitted to the agents. The lat­ ter took two weeks to answer it and then refused the request. The Textile Council next asked fur a conference, and although tbs conference was held the result waa barren, ns the agent* refused to grant tbe increase. A little later tbe Textile Council ordered a strike, to go Into effect unices the increase was grant­ ed.

All of the window glass plants In the country outside of those owned by the American Window Glass Company will dose, and fully 10.000 men will be thrown out of- employment. This decis­ ion was reached after tbe Window-Glass Jobbers* Association had received the approval of 75 per cent of the outside window glass makers.

The combine closed with a stock of 1.000.0001 boxes of glass mi hand, and it ia calcu­ lated that the other factories together have even more. Officials of the jobbers’ association set about to secure the consent of 75 j>er eent of the pot capacity outside of the three combines. The feat was accom­ plished recently. TTie Federation Com­ pany has (MX) pots and the independent■ Company 500 pots, the outside factories baring a capacity of 000 pot*. About So per cent of the latter consented.

Shoes Great is the Fame The Trinity of success in our shoe department is undoubtedly the appearance, wtar and price of our shoes. The first la an aid to quick sales. The second is necessary to-------------satisfy and retain cMtomers. The third ia a tuaguel that attracts everybody and makes a person once a customer, always a customer. APPEARANCE is largely the result of perfect fitting lasts and patterns. We have a large and complete assortment of men’s, ladles' and children’s shoes. There are no better fitting or smarter looking shoes for ladies than tbe Drew-Selby. Economy, Durability, Comfort and Style are what we claim for them. . WEAR is partly the result of a-well fitted shoe, but the most important factor is good leather. Our shoes arc made from standard brands of dongola, kangaroo calf, box calf- satin calf, patent kid, patent colt and other upper leathers from the French and American tanneries. We buy no sheep skins or caperettas. The soles are best .quality oak-tanned. The insoles and counters are leather, pure and simple. PRICE is determined by the cost of production and profit ex­ pected. We buy right and take advantage of all discounts and are satisfied to sell on a close margin of profit.

A Short Talk About 66Actual Business." “ACTUAL BUSINESS” is the name of a method of Business Training wherebv the "TRANSACTION,” and not tbe "LEDGER ACCOUNT," is made the basis of the bookkeeping entry. All methods of teaching book­ keeping by means of tablets, textbooks, or budgets, Introduce the principles of bookkeeping to the student’s atten­ tion, without giving him any practice in tbe execution of the business tran­ sactions of which bookkeeping com­ prises the record. Our method, on tho ether hand, begini with tbe tran­ saction, for we believe that the tran­ saction, rather than the LEDGER ACCOUNT, should be the starting point in the student’s work; and that by first interesting tho student in the transaction iteelf, and its mechanical require­ ments, ne is not only better prepared to comprehend the nature of, and the necessity for, the bookkeeping record, but he HAS LEARNED HOW TO IX) BUSINESS, and acquired knowledge that will be of incalculable benefit to him when he reaches tbe business office. We use, in our bookkeeping depart­ ment, what is known as the "CABINET METHOD OF ACTUAL BUSINESS OOM MERCI AL TRAIN ING,” and de­ sire now to reiterate the statement which we have made many times in the past, that we control the exclusive right to use this method In Southern Michigan, and are, therefore conduct­ ing the only “ACTUAL BUSINESS” training school in this part of the State. In fact, the publishers of the ‘•CABINET METHOD OF ACTUAL BUSINESS” are the only publishers of business school publications who claim to have an ‘‘ACTUAL BUSI­ NESS METHOD.” By the method we use, the student* actually perform the transactions be­ fore making the bookkeeping record. There is nothing “suppositional” about She work, nothing fictitious, no arbitrary dates, no make-believe names,—nothing of the sort, while all other systems have everything “cut and dried” beforehand,—the student Is just a copyist. We have our banks, which are or­ ganized and conducted undor, and in conformity with, the laws of the State of Michigan. We bate our transpor­ tation offices, where the bookkeeping records are ACTUAL records of ACTUAL SHIPMENTS of merchandise and commodities.

BURD, HuMl. Mlcb. —— ===== The common council convened last• Monday night in a short smsloq and( very little business was done outside’ of accepting the saloon bonds of Chas. Scheldt and S. D. Crumb. At a for­ mer meeting of the council it wa? de­; cided to reduce the bond required of saloon-keepers from 86^000 to 84,000, and a resolution to that effect passed the council, therefore the bonds of Cbns. Scheldt were. were., presented and accepted. The council took the view .that bonds in the sum of $4,000. were of more value than those of> 86,000. A proposition from the Marshall Light and Power company was before। the council, nnd a request for a fran­ chise by said company to allow them to set poles and string wires in the village for the purpose of doing com­ mercial lighting, out It was tabled us the promoter* were not present and the council was not sufficiently in­ formed as to ^he intentions of the company. We understand, however; that the company contemplates using the power at the Scipio pond, if they are successful in getting franchises. Nothing else of importance was transacted. A couple of bill* were allowed and some talk in regard to a resident of the village selling hard cider at retail was indulged in. and it was suggested that the matter be put before the authorities. The meeting was presided over by President Lentz, and trustees Hicks, Cassler, Gribbin and Furniss were present. 1 O. M. McLaughlin Leading Clothier and Shoe Dealer. Ntfw Mouldings.

Having sold our „ grocery _____ j business, we are Anxious to gel get ail all account* closed up at once. f7_ __________ We desire all who are owing u* to call and settle at their The following, taken from the Mar­ ion (Ind.) Dally Leader, will be of interest to Nashville people as Mr. Burkert was a former resident of the village and his friends here will sympathize with him: “Louis, the bright three-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Earl Burkert, formerly of this city, now of Chicago Heights, Illi­ nois, met with a tragic death Saturday at 11 o'clock. While playing with a number of other small children on the sidewalk near hts home bo accidentally fell into a ditch along the sidewalk. There bad been heavy rains and the little fellow was rapidly carried down the ditch and into au open manhole a short distance away. The body fell into the newer and was carried rapidly downward to the mouth, almost two squares distant from the place where lie fell in. The other children playing with him at once spread th© alarm, but nothing could be done to rescue him. Relatives and friends rushed to the mouth of the sewer and when the body of the boy came out Instantly took charge of it and called medical assistance, but it was all in vain. The body hod been in the water fully twenty minutes and when it was removed life was extinct. Beyond a few sligbt bruises there was nothing to indicate that he bad been Injured in his fall into the sewer and his flight downward. The remains were brought to this cltv. the relatives here having received the sad news of the arownlng Satuday. It was taken to the homo of Mr. and Mrs. A. V. Custer, the parents of Mrs. Burkert. The sewer into which bis body was carried was a thirty-six inch sewer and was well tilled with water, the rains hav­ ing swollen jt to unusual proportions. While the body was being swirled though the sewer, bidden from human eyes and beyond the reach of human aid. the moments ware as hours to the anxious watchers and the period was one of the most agonizing suspense. The wnntt was feared and when the lifeless body was dellverd to the parentsby the cruel waters their sorrow was inconsolable. Mr. Burkert is in the employ of the Shatnbrougb Box company, which fur­ nishes boxes for the Sheldon glass factory, which removed to Chicago Heights from Gas City about four months ago. They had only lived there during the past four months. About two months ago Mr. Burkert was seriously injured in an accident there, but had recovered from his wounds. The tragic death of their little son. coming so closely on the heels nt this,makes their cup of sorrow filled to overflowing.'’ An Irishman who was purchasing a mantle clock at a city jewelery store was told by the clerk that it was an extra fine time piece and would run eight days without winding. "For the sake of St. Patrick” said Mike, "If that bit of a clock goes eight days without winding, how long will it go if yez wind it?” Talk about tho benefits of advertis­ ing! Down in Florida the other day a family lost a child which they sup­ posed had strayed away from home and got lost. After searching in vain for three days the frantic parents placed an advertisement in the nearest news­ paper. Imagine the surprise of the parents upon going to the door the next mernlng to see a monster alliga­ tor upon the doorstep, where he dis­ gorged tbe child alive and then died himself. The "ad” cost but 25 cent* and it gave them back their darling child: they sold the alligator’s hide for 825. and tbe parents are showing the child at all tbe dime mesnems in the land at 850 a week. Does advertis­ ing pay? Mrs. C. L- Bowen of this place has received an appointment as Deputy Great Commander of the L.O.T.M.M., s position similar to the one Ibcld by Mrs. A. L. Ruey. Mrs. Bowen has no stated territory, but will go wher­ ever sent by the Groat Commander, to lock after the work of tjin order, in reviewing the work of established hives, assisting them in securing new members, and in establishing new hives of this order, which ba* become one of tbe most popular of It* kind in the country.

ALFRED BAYLISS, State'Superintendent of Public Instructlon In Illinois, Is a strong advocate of sahool district consolidation. Suppose the taxable wealth of a rural township In Illinois abould be akseMsed for'tho purpose of raising the funds necessary to maintain and -equip one central school house. There .is hardly .1 rural tpfrnshlp In the .State in .which a central school mantained and equipped In such a way would not be’one well worthy of the name. To begin with, the bnUd.ug ■would be commqjilous and comfortable. In ventilation, lighting, wanning and every' sani'uri? arrangement It would be ^century ahead of the little district school houses to be found at nearly every turn of the road In Illinois, but hundreds of which arex in late years, attendAd by a luilf dozen children or lotw. and not a few ot which nre cloned for want of attendance. Eupt. BayllKH says the real reason for this change Is the movement to the cities and towns. He tells a story In this connection. "I met- a friend on the* ■train the other day." be snya, “who was returning, with bls wife, from a visit- to old Lancaster -County, where they (nine from. He had hnd a good time, and ,wna going home to think It.over nnd talk it over. He Is a rich farmer; has iiundreds of broad acres, a great liarn. Into which you could haul the district school house, n flue home. etc. ‘Well,’ I Mid. ’1 -suppose the boys have been running the farm.’ ’No.’ he said, •they are not at home.* 'How’s that?’ ‘Well, John, he’s practicin’ law over in Iowa, nnd doin’ pretty well. too. Henry, he's a dentist. Hung out his shingle up In Wisconsin last April, and wrote me that he cleared nearly a hundred dollars the first mouth. Jim. he’s nt the school of pharmacy In •Chicago.’ ’And who’s on the farm?’ I asked. ‘Oh. US two and the hired help.* "You all know that man. don't you?" the professor asks. “His name is legion." Then he gm's on to tell alxnit tbe man be bad in mind. "This man has a railroad station, a school house and a graveyard on his farm, and they used to be very proud of the fine large school." ’.Then asked how tho school was flourishing now. he answered: "Oh. I linnlly know. Wc bad six scholars last winter, but the Jones family moved not long ago. I •don't think,of any more to come In." An outgrowth of the system of township consolidation of schools will be the school wagon, to collect the children from the more distant parts of a township and bring them to the school. The calculators think this could be done without increasing taxes or even reaching the limits of taxa•tlon for school purposes in a township, after the area of ajMM.*ssn:ent for the support of a central school Is made so much larger thnn that of the dis­ trict. In course of time, no doubt, after this system is developed, and Its logical outcome nnd results are seen, the wagons will run. no mat.ter what the condition of the weather or the roads. All roads in a ntnil Illinois township will lead, then, to the- school house in the center, or in that s|»ot In the township which enn be reached the most easily nnd speedily. That Is what the system Is sure to come to. and probably in a few yenrs. That building consolidation Is one of the purposes of the proposed ■reform, however, Mr. Bayliss leaves no room to doubt. "Herr In Illinois.'* be says, "we must have out tn the country ph-asant, roomy, convenient and sanitary school houses, an well adapted for their purjtose In nil respect* nnd even aa attractive architecturally as they are fast coming to be In the -cities. Architecturally, thr school house should exhibit the taste and to sonic extent the aspiration of the neighborhood. It should be better than lhe best dwelling house, but In many a country district lucre are those who wouldn’t exchange their best barn for the school house. It should be lighted frouuhe right direction: have the teacher.'* desk iu the right place; bave ample air and floor space; have cloakrooms for buys nnd girls, entered -from the schoolroom, and lw furnished with lavatories opening Into prop­ erly constructed closets, accessible in no other way. It should b<- pro|>erly ventilated, and wlien possible have a dry. clean and warm cellar, it should have abundant book cases and cabinets and rending tnhles. A portion of ■the ground should be properly ornamented, nnd altogether the house and ground should be the Just pride of the community." Prof. Bayliss admits that, at first view, tho taxpayers might fear that they could not stand the expense. But be evidently doubts whether their -expenses would be greatly Increased They could not stand. It. lie admits, "under the grotesquc^steni of school maintenance now prevailing. The Idea Is to centralize nnd Improve systems and force results by cutting off in great many useless expenses and putting tbe money which Is now pain into Incompetent bands into the bands of others who ran iglve value re­ ceived. "The reduction of the number of districts In each township." he •said, “would In many. If not most, cases lead to the consolidation of all .the schools, tbe organization of r graded school, nr.d the establishment of a high school department In every township. If. because of bad roads or ■other causes less real, a township does not clrnose lo consolidate all of the schools In one building, then at least the older children could be brought -together In a central school, and given tbe advantage ot companionship and dissociation with others of their own ago.” The township high school Is one of tbe prime results aimed at by the proposed change. There Is provision for township high schools lu the Illinois school laws, but as long as the district system prevails there Is .little prospect of the opportunity being utilized. T^e' new system, ft la believed, would bring thet township high school Into existence all over the ■State. "There ought to be," says Supt. Bayliss, “within reach of every farmer’s child In Illinois, a country school that should be as worthy a place on "the accredited list of the State university ns the city schools that now make up that list. It ought to give as good quality of instruction in mathematics and science aud language and literature as the city high school." As to the effect of ccntralbJng the common schools of tbe town­ ship. he says: “Our present system has served Its purpose. It no longer meets the requirements," From all of which it would appear that President Eliot of Harvard is not so far wrong when he says that the educational system of this country Is capable of vast Improvement. Supt. Bayliss attributes the decay of the country school to tbe great and growing movement toward the towns and 'cities, and be has some pronounced views as to tills movement as a cause of which there are likely to come many serious effects. "Society Is mov­ ing." he says. ’The city school, for reasons I need not stop to recapitulate. Is keeping up with the procession. The country Is re-enforcing and regener­ ating the city with Its best blood. The movement is not new. but it Is continuous and accelerated. The elements which destroy the population of cities will operate in the future as in the past. We are proud of the fact that the majority of the great mor •’.«’* country has produced come frain the farms, and It will be a most mistake to even seem to encour age tbe idea that success In life is possible only to those who leave them."

Don’t know whether you get alimony or not.” When, the buaineas man had read and re- urally enough, quite considerably jarred. “Jimmy” was a business associate of hia with whom he had gone to school and with nouneed intimacy. Crunching the two opened telegram* in his fiat and walking toward the maiu entrance to the hotel, tho Washington man screwed up hia featnrei and tried to reason things out. Reasoning he found to be of no avail, and so he me­ chanically opened the third-dispatch. It ■vris oigned by a well-known firm of Washingtu> lawyers, and it read after this wise: “Absolute divorce, ground of desertion, granted to-day. No alimony. Defendant to pay all - cos:*. Congratulations. When are you returning?” The Washington man plumped himself into a big leather chair and gazed hard at the tips of his shbes. For a couple of minutes he wondered whether he had gone mad—whether, like some of the chaps bs had occasionally read about in the news­ papers, he had suddenly lost hia personal­ ity several years' before--and wandered away from home, and was just coming to, after having, without remembering any­ thing about it. instituted suit in Washing­ ton foi a divorse from his wife. He looked at the address on the telegram envelopes, and all of them bore his surname an1 two initials right enough. He drifted aimlessly into the bar of the hotel and took a particularly ample drink. Instead of pulling him out of his daze, the drink threw him into stifijdeeper perplexity. He decided to get Pis xey and go to his room to think it over. The clerk handed him two more telegrams with his key. One of them, signed "D. 8.”—initials which he couldn’t fathom—read as fallows: "You win everything but permiroion to resume your maiden name. Thus endeth a md story. Star publishes announcement this evening. Congrats." ' The other telegram, also signed with ini­ tials that he couldn’t recall, was worded this way: “Your application granted to-day. You want tn never do so no more. Come back and celebrate." The Washington man was in a nightmare as he took the elevator and ascended! to his room. Whan he had locked himself in his room he gazed st himself aesrehingly in the glass for signs of insanity. Thera was such a worried, hang-dog look in his eyes that he concluded he must have suddenly gone mad. Moreover. the feeling grew upon him that he had been insane before at different intervals, and that during one of these clouded periods he had sued his wife, to whom he was devoted, for a divorce on the ground of desertion. That, at any rate, was about lhe only way he could figure it out. He was still pacing excitedly up and down hi* room when a bellboy rapped on the door aud handed him another telegram. It was signed “Tom"—the Washington man was chummy with any number of Toms— and it went this way: “You win out on cross suit. Decree granted today, desertion. Hare iwnt you copy of Star." "It’s all off." said the Washington man to himself, wildly runninghis hands through his hair. “This is the limit. There's noth­ ing left for me to do but to ship on a cat­ tle steamer to Glasgow, or something." He raced downstairs to the bar and took two more high ones at gl<lM> interrata. Just as he was gulping down the last one a man with whose face he was somehow familiar strode up to the bar and was cordtally ad­ dressed by die bartender. "Well, Str. Blank,” mW the barkeep to the man whose face was somehow familiar to the bnsinesi man, “what’s it going to be?” / • Then the great white light broke in upon the mind of the Tenth street business man. fur "Mr. Blank’s” surname was the same is hi« own. He reached into Ilia inside coat pocket, produced the bunch of crumpled telegrams, nnd Handed them over to the other “Mr. Blatik" without « word. The other Mr. Blank took them with a certain expression of suspicion, which swiftly changed to one of wonder and pleasure when he read the telegrams. "How did you get hold of these and open them, sir?" he inquired of the Tenth street business man. “Clerk gave ’em to me and came near convincing me thereby that I’d gone off my head," was lhe reply. “My name’s appar­ ently the same as yours.” They compared notes, nnd ascertained that their surnamm and initials were the residence in Washington, had ever met up with each other, only vaguely hearing of each other occasionally. The man to whom the telegrams belonged might have been exhibiting hi» exhuberaut boapitality toward the somewhat limp bustnew roan yet had not the tatter, conclud­ ing that hia little old Waahingten home waa decided upon taking tbe first train south­ ward.—Washington Star. naar being a journalist instead of an actress. Sir John Evarstt Millala sought a place for her aa society ed­ itor of Life, the London weekly, and naked fa her behalf something over KOOCayear. The editor offered half 080, but Mrs. Langtry had already de­ cided to go on tiie sUge, where her cd tor more than they could have done in a mere newspaper office. “°“* *“*? 1 f? * “2 ’ ,uA°? ,, 'Vo Uw dntle paper, where they tell of Snooper’s pills, as a ,oteri,n ,or kind or _____ t ,________________ -v . vernal ills.

Ana the an­ cient dames come lo me, and they brew th^r magic tea. and they say if I will take it I’ll feel happy as a flea. But their dismal dark decoctions only make me shriek and wail and I wish all herb doctors could be carrled off to jail. In tbe spring the wily stranger comes to sell a patent oat, and he gels the name ot victims to a thousand dol­ lar note. In the spring you make a garden, full of things you like to eat, and the chickens come and scratch it all to thunder—and repeat. In the spring your lawn Is pretty and you point to it with pride, till some cattle come and spoil it in the quiet eventide. In the spring tbe groaning husband eats bis victuals in the barn, for his wife must clean the mansion and she doeu’t care a darn: and. the yard la full of carpets, and the trees are full of sheets, and be has to live on sauer­ kraut, cistern water and and sliced boete. Oh, a woman’s in her glory when she tears things all apart, piling beds and chairs and pillows In a way to break your heart. And at night tbe groaning busband has to sleep u^pn the porch, and he feels so plumb disgusted that be can’t enjoy the torch. When the blamed old cleaning’s over then the wife is taken ill, and it keeps her husband busted buying dope and drug and pill; and the mansion is no cleaner than it was when she began, but she'd slay him if he said so—and he's a prudent man.—Ex. A West Kalamo farmer went over to Kalamo the other day to buy a peck measure. He asked the mer­ chant if he had any peck measures, and being told that;hey had Inquired tbe price, whereupon the merchant in turn inquired whether he wanted the large size or the small size. Now we would like to know bow many sizes of peck measures there are, and which one is recognized as tho Kalamo stand­ ard. , When a handbill is dropped at tbe door, do you see three members of the family rush for it at ouefe?

Do they drop Into easy chairs and read that handbill through from the northeast corner to the southwest angle?

It him bad. The way it seized him at firsts waa to giVe him tbe ide*.that be 'just nat­ urally had to learn bow to play on the vio­ lin. He, a busy medical practitioner, part fiO, with the natural stiffness of movement that cornea with that age, got it into his head that life would be just one long stretch of the bad lands and a howKng desert for him unless he learned how to play on the violin! Well, he began. H* invested in a fine and expensive outfitfirst-rate violin and bow, music rack, ele­ mentary violin music—all the accesaoriea. He engaged a good violin teacher. Tbe teacher looked the elderly medical man over and told him frankly, at the outset, that he was a good 1,000 to 1 shot, or words to that effect, so far as hia chance of ever learning how to play on the violin was con­ cerned. The doctor didn’t any of­ fense. He bad the fiddle bug tco bad for aikything Hke that, and he said he was willing to pay tbe freight and take a chance. He didn’t have a particle of music—that ia, so far aa the acquisitive end of it ia con­ cerned—in hia whole huge frame, and after about two months’ lessons the violin teach­ er, told the physician that- it would take him at least 30 years to learn how to pound a bass drum, much leu how to play 'Not for Joe’ or 'Yankee Doodle’ on the fiddle. "This discouraged tbe doctor some, and for. the time he took the teacher’s word for it and abandoned hi* idea of learning tbe violin. Two month* later the fiddle bug nailed him again. He bought a second vio­ lin—not that be sad disposed of the first one, but that he liked fiddles—liked to have 'em around him to jook at, even if he couldn't play. He engaged a second teach­ er, who ran shrieking from the doctor's presence at the end of the fourth lesaon with hia fingers in his ears. Well, since that time the good doctor has bought three new fiddles and engaged three new violin instructors, and at the present hour he can’t even draw a straight down bow on the open A string to save his soul. It's not in him. But the fiddle bug's iu him, and he'll never get rid of it. It’s the grief of his life that he can't play just one tune on the fiddle. If he could only get away with ‘The Soldier's Joy’ or 'The Irish Washerwoman’ I’d be willing to wager that for the remainder of his day* he’d be invest­ ing half his income a* a medical practitioner in new fiddle*. 1 "Then there's a well-known man in one of the departments who'* had tbe fiddle bug for a matter of 40 years—ever since he was a boy. He’s had iirst-class instruction, time and again, during all those years, and yet the best he can do now is to play just simple piece* fairly well. He love* to play just these simple piece* over every night of hi* life, and .he never miiwe* a" night, lie isn’t under any delusion a* to lite extent of his ability as a player—h«know* exactly where he stands ou that, and makes no bones" about ridiculing his own music. But he * just gut the fiddle bug, that's all, and he always will have it. He’s got fiddles, and some of them good one*, all over bis house—under the sofas and lounge* and beds, on the tables, on tori of the bookcase*—they're everywhere; ana he's still buying ’em. 'He’s spent thousands of dollar* on fiddle* and fiddle 'kccoutermen!*, although he's never been anything but a fairly comfortable man. "Then there's another departmental man, this one younger, who ha* the violin mi­ crobe in an odd form. He'* a fairly good player, ju*t an average one, .without any particular inspiration. He’* been at it about ten year*, and he has spells of en­ thusiasm, during which he'll get a teacher, have all of hi* music books dug out of the attic trunks, and start all over again. But, when the enthusiastic spell hit* him, he aiwayei has to buy a new violin, for the teasun that he gets rid of ’em in *hori order when the enthuriasm i» punctured. His fiddle ardor will Fast perhaps a month ox two, during which time he practice* fiercely and gel* into all sort* of dicker* for new fiddle*. Then some crackerjaek vio­ linist comes along to Washington and give* a concert, and this enthusiast gee* to hear the gnat player perform. He leave* tbo concert hall in a state of utter gloom and depression. The great player is so very great indeed, and the chance of ever being able to attain one-millionth part of hi* pro­ ficiency is so ebmplet. out of the que*tion. So this enthusiast return* to his hotqe and vow* to hi* wife that he’s never, under any circumstance*, going to take a fiddle in hi* hands again. He immediate­ ly begins to dig *round to find somebody that want* to buy a good fiddle cheap. I've known him to sell tiddies that he paid aa high n* ? 100 for to the first man that offered him a ten-dollar note for it. After awhile, a* I say, the overpowering effect’of tbe great player’s music wears off, and then he gets the fiddle bug all over again and •eta about to take his old love into his heart once more. ■ z "And yet the bug has another and an ex­ ceedingly peculiar way of acting. There are some fellow* who axe just natural mu­ sicians—they're born with it. It'* as easy for them to pick the fiddle up and run away with it, a* the expression gore, if they’re it is for an alert apprentice to learn the plumber’* trade. Well, 1 know perhaps a dozen Washington men who possessed this muricai ability in their early youth, and who were started at the violin by their parent*. Moat of them had to be virtually clubbed into practicing by their parents, and yet, even with thia forced and unwill­ ing effort, they became good players in the course of a few years, capable, with study, of doing almost anything with the instru­ ment. Well, all of these particular men that I’m talking about have absolutely dropped the violin since they arrived at tbe THE STAR LEADERS IN MEN’S WEAR The man who baa confidence ia us and puts himself in our hands can not be otherwise than well dressed.

Seeding for spring wheat I aa taken up tho time of the formers nnd inconsequence there is the usual falling off iu demand nt dMny country points. In tbe financial nnd commercial cen­ ters interest is gradually turning towards the southwest.-where the wheat prospect ia extremely favorable. Wall street has thrown off the gloom of last week, and while conservatism and caution still rule, there is a disposition shown to t.akc n more hopeful view of the outlook. If the winter wheat crop should come to maturity with conditions anywhere near where they now ary. there would be the largest yield in the country’s history. In­ deed. If conditions should turn so un­ favorable ns to cause a loss of 100.000.­ 000 bushels between now and barvtst time, there would still be a yield well aborc the average. The pessimist finds it hard work against thia brilliant pros­ pect and all that it means If it is realiz­ ed. Nor docs It follow that prices will necessarily rule low In consequence.

The most successful po's’.office rob­ bery of any In Western Michigan with­ in recent weeks was carried out st Middleville, lust Friday night, the burglars getting away with more than 81,000 in cash and stamps and leaving never a clew behind. . The robbery Is thought to have taken place between. 1 and 2 o’clock in the morning, as at about the latter hour residents in the village beard men in a rig going through the town. A blacksmith shop was opened for tools with which to gain an entrance to the postoffice building and to assist in opening the safe. The' office was entered through a side window and two charges of dynamite used on the safe, the outer door beipg drilled in three places. The Inner door of the safe was wrecked by the second charge, affording easy entrance to the stamp box, which was pried open with a chisel. The total amount secured is about 81.060, of which all but860 is in stamps, largely of one and two-cent denominations. The 860 was in cur­ rency. The loss would have been much greater but for the fact that only the day before Postmaster Richard Johnson made his quarterly report to the department at Washington, sending with it all the money in the office except the small amount named, which wai kept for the payment of money orders. The burglars escaped in a rig be­ longing to Frank Pralt, who lives a half mile west of the scene of the robbery. They also stole an overcoat from Pratt’s barn, and, it is thought, drove out of town westward toward Grand Rapids. A peculiar feature of the affair is ease with which the robbers got away unheard. There is a watchman in the Warren Fealherbone factory, between which and the postofiice building there is only a niilroad track; two watch­ men were in the French grist mill, diagonally across the street, and the St. James hotel is only four doors away. No sound was heard from the postofflee at any time in the night. ' The tools stolen from the black­ smith shop were left on top of the safe when The burglars fled and quite a quantity of loose dynamite was scattered over the floor. In the eyes of the officers the job was poorly done and bears every indication of amateur workmanship. Several supposed clews have been found by the officers which they are working on, but as yet only faint hopes are entertained of their capture. There is, in the opinion of some of the officers, an organized gang at work in Western Michigan, and when they are apprehended the people will breathe easier. Two Hastings boys who were known to have beep in Middleville on- the night of the robbery, were arrested on suspicion, but proved that they had returned to Hastings on the, midnight train Friday and they were released. FIRST BASE BALL GAME The first ball game of the season occurred at the driving park last Saturday between the high school of Hastings and the local high school boys, and was a pretty contest. The Hastings boys won out, but only by a narrow margin, the score at the close standing $*to Dale Andrews and Dent Me Derby occupied the points for Nashville, while Collins and McMurry formed the battery for Hastings. Following is the score by innings: 18 3 4& 0789 HaaUnga........................... 0 0 2 10 2 12 x-8 NMbndi....................... 00 1 0 fl 0 0 0 0—7 The Hastings boys put up a good article of the national game and showed that they had had considerable more practice than the home boys, and but for the fifth inning when a few hits and a Dad case of ’’rattles” struck them, would have come very close to shutting our boys out.

He is a son.of Mr. and Mrs. Geo. O. Dean of Maple Grove. At present he is an employee of the Lentz Table company. The News joins with their many friends In Wish­ ing the young couple continued happi­ ness and prosperity. TOWNSEND BROTHERS. This week marked an important business change in Nashville, when R. Townsend sold his elevator and business to his two sons E. B. and R. C., the deal being made Monday. The new firm took immediate possession and Mr. Richard Townsend retires to take a much n«gded rest; he has been in business - in Nashville in the elevator for fifteen years and by care­ ful, consistent and honest business methods has earned a competence that is well merited, and while his many friends among the business men and fanners will regret to see him retire from active connection with the eleva­ tor they feel that the two sons will conduct the business in such a way as to emulate the success of -Lhelr father. They are both thorough business men, having an insight into the elevator ana grain business that will surely bring success. The News.with their many friends extend a hearty welcome to the new firm and wishes them all the success due them. A FEW RECEIPTS FOR SUCCESS. A certain fellow who answered ad­ vertisements in cheap story papers has had some Interesting experiences. He learned that by sending 81 to a Yankee he could get a cure for drunk­ enness. And he did. It was to "take the pledge and ke^p it.” Then be sent 50 2-cent stamps to find out bow to raise turnips successfully. He found out—"Just take hold of the tops and pull.” . Being young, he wished to marry, and sent 34 1-cent stamps to a Chicago firm for information as to how to make an impression. When theapswer came it read, "Sit down on a pan of dough.” It was a little rough but he was a patient man, and thought he would yet succeed. Next advertisement he answered read, “How to double your money in six months.” He was told to convert his money into bills, fold them and he would see his money doubled. Next he sent for twelve useful house­ hold articles and he got a package of needles. . He was slow to learn, so he sent 81 to find out "how to get rich.” “Work like the devil and never spend a cent,” and that stopped him. But his brother wrote to find out how to write without pen or ink. He was told to use a lead pencil He paid 81 to ifern how to live with­ out work and was told on a postal card, “Fish-for suckers as we do.” If you want to save money, do your trading with home merchants. You can see the goods before you buy them and there is no disappointment when you get them. Patronize the men who ask for your trade in our advertising columns. Departmentstores in Chicago, Detroit or New York have no interest in you and as a rule their goods are as dear and often inferior to those at home. • DEARTH OF FARM HELP. Farmers assert that there is a greater dearth of farm help at present than they have ever before experienced. Tiie trouble is that farmers’ sofas have either gone away to school or have taken up various callings in the towns or have gone west to new fields. There are various other reasons given for the scarcity of help and there is no doubt but that the railroads are re­ sponsible in a measure. They are employing a large number of men on construction work and in their shops. The Illinois Central Alone has in­ duced thousands of good healthy farmers' to take up the work In the south where millions of acres are being developed. A large number of people who in past years have been working for wages are now down in Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas, Tennessee and Ken­ tucky working on land that will soon be their own, raising berries, garden truck, cotton, fine stock and grasses.

The old favorite Para­ gon probably comes as near to the Ideal variety as any. all things consid­ ered. The difficulty of killing plant and tree lice with tbe-usual spray mixtures is well known. Good results arc re­ ported from the use of a new mixture containing one pound hard soap; one quart castor oil. one-fourth pound car­ bonate of soda, one gallon water. The soap and acid were boiled In water and mixed with the castor oil while heated; th> mixture was then diluted with 10 to 20 per cent of water for spraying. In lighting tree lice, it is important to apply tbe lifuld used be­ fore the leaves begin to -curl nnd en­ close the Insects. For scale Insects, a mixture rejwrted satisfactory Is pre­ pared as follows: Ten quarts boiling water, one quart carbolic acid, one quart soft soap. The mixture Is stir­ red until an emulsion is formed and is applied by means of a brush.—Amer­ ican Cultivator. 'in sections of tbe West there Is be­ ing grown a variety of wheat known as Polish wheat, which has compara­ tively little value except, perhaps, as ’ a fur stock. Public accounts of this wheat have been so garbled that farmers have a wrong Impression of It. Aa this wheat Is grown In the Northwest. It produces wonderfully, and the kernels are much larger than those of' the recognised varieties of wheat, and when fed to stock It Is said to have wonderful fattening results.

Great Britain and all her vast naval strength as the active ally of the Japanese em­ peror. It apparently needs but a tpark in the present acute -sifnatlon to provoke a conflict that shall shake tbe whole world. While the United States may not be drawn actively into the anticipat­ ed conflict, ita part ns the inoral ally at least of Japan and Great Britain will be an important one. While the good faith of Russia in her occupancy of the vast territory df Manchria has always been doubted, deepite tbe pacific declarations from time to time by the great Cur's ministers, to-day in most of the chancelleries of Europe. Russia la openly accuihd <»f breach ot faith in her latest demands in China. ' Already Japan, 'trained to the break­ ing point and long preparing for thia conflict; has dispatched three of her most powerful warships to strengthen her squadron in the far East. Great Brit­ ain. known to be anxious to prevent open hostilities, has taken like action, while tbe power of Rusria in Manchuria Aas been on a .war footing for»morc than a year. Quietly and without notice to the world, she has been pouring troops into Manchuria for months, and great forti­ fications and porta have beern built, de­ signed to meet a aitdatiou such as now threatens. Aa a final move for peace. England haa propored a.forcible joint protest of Great Britain, the United State# and Japan against Russia. If this falls— and the general opinion Is that it will— then the great war of the twentieth cen­ tury must follow. United States Ambassador McCormick at St. Petersburg was instructed by ca­ ble to present to the Russian foreign of­ fice a note which, while diplomatically known aa one of inquiry, was in sub­ stance a strong protest against Russia '« demands. Cabled instructions also were sent to Minister Conger at Pekin to ex­ press to tbe Chinese authorities the dis­ satisfaction of the United States with Russia's demands and our hope that China would not accede to them. For any crisis requiring a show of □aval strength the Asiatic rquadron of the United States navy, under command of'Rear Admiral Evans, is well situated strategically, but it is stated at tbe Navy Department that unless tbe State De­ partment requests it no warships will be aent to Newchwang, whither the Japan­ ese government is reported to have sent three warship-..

Another British column in Somaliland | has been defeated by the forces of the Mad Mullah. The overwhelming of a force of 220 men by an attacking column of 10.000 does not rank very high aa a military exploit, but the fact that a force led by one of the moat experienced officers in Africa was ambushed and gll of tbe officers and 180 of tho native troops slaughtered will have a depress­ ing effect among the natives loyjtl to tbe British.

Men who do not want to look any falter la the fare than they eaa help , , J ,, , , have nn easy means of accomplishing their purpose. Not all of them are aware of tbe effect that may be ereated by the form of a collar or eravat. * "The stout man who wants to look as. thin as he can,” said the haber­ dasher’s clerk, “ought to wear a tie of the kind known os a four-in-hand. Preferably it should be dark in color and drawn, tight. That carries down the line ot the face and lengthens it to a degree that tends to make the face look thinner. “Another aid to making a man look thin is is the height of his collar. Some stout men who want to look thin should wear high collars and closed ones. Any collar that opens In front makes one lock stouter under nearly every circumstance. Such collars are becoming to thin men. “The fat man should avoid the kind of tie that has a horizontal effect. This will add pounds to his "appear­ ance—In his face at least. “On the contrary, this cross effect will make the thin man look stont. The broad plastron scarfs, as they are called, have little effect on a man's looks one way or the other. When he wears them It is the collar that makes tbe difference. “He should therefore see that he wears a high one that does not open, If he wants to look as thin as possi­ ble, whereas if he wants to seem stouter, an open collar will produce that effect for him."—New York Sun.

She was wanted on a charge of theft, mention of which was made in last week's News, and was taken before Justice Feighner, who gave her a sentence of $15 and costs or 2D days in jail, and benevolent people of the village raised the required amount aud she is now free. The justice, in passing the sentence, took into consideration her age and the fact that she hud never before been arrested, thinking the punishment Sufficient to serve as a lesson to her iu trying to do right. The Barry county bar turned out iu a body to the funeral of Judge* Mills. The eulogy ot Circuit Judge Smith on the life of Judge Mills waa a fitting tribute to tbe honest integrity of the man. Judge Mills was a quiet, unob­ trusive official, but kc was an honest, upright man, and knew no party or personal favorites ip the discharge of his duty. His only alm was to admin­ ister the duties of bis office in justice and equity, protecting the widow and the fatherless, und rendering to every* one his due. He saved many expens­ ive litigations by his kind and fatherly way in explaining and urging settle­ ments, when, slight differences occur­ red, and in this way also conciliated those who were estranged by a clash­ ing of interests. We have lost an hon est, painstaking and diligent official in Judge Mills.—Hastings Journal. Some time ago the legislature sent a junketing committee to Stillwater, Minnesota, to inspect the state prison at that place, and incidentally to gather information regarding the bindertwine plant, which is operated in that prison. The plant at Stillwater employs 18<> men aud returned a net nroii’t lust year of $94.0)0. The prison authorities sell tbe twine direct to the farmers for about three cents per pound les* than the retail market price up to May 1st, after which they sell to dealers under an agreement that they shall not make more than one cent per pound profit. The committee were very favorably impressed with*tbe scheme and in all probability Michigan wih soon be in the binder twine business. It is esti­ mated that a plant such as the one at Stillwater would cost to install, some­ where about $125,000. There has been talk for some time among the telegraphers of the Michi­ gan Central railroad system of or­ ganizing un association and asking the company for more pay and less working hours, and recently the Brotherhood of Michigan Central Railway Telegraph Operators was formed, marking the first steps to* ward recognition by the officials of the company. Each division has been allowed a committeemaninthpassembly and they have all been elected; tie honor on tuis division fell to C. W.

The telegraphers are apparently the poorest-paid em­ ployee of the road und will usk an increase ot salarv of $10 per month and a schedule of 12 hours,a day with pay for overtime. If the committee arc not successful in their convention with the"su|>er!nteDdent of telegraphy they will Ln all probability carry the matter to the superintendent or tbe fystem.

Early. • 1 I I I Lycurgus J. Wheeler, for many years engaged in the mercantile busi­ ness in Nashville, died Very suddenly at his home pt Plainwell on Thursday last, of neuralgia of the heart, Mr, Wheeler was born in Steuben county, New Y’ork, Feb. 9, 1830. He came to Washtenaw county,this state, with his parents,, when five years of age, and moved to .Woodland town­ ship, this county., at the age of twelve. He was educated at Spring Arbor seminary and taught for a number of yearn in the district schools of Barry county. He spent three years in the civil war, most of the time doing clerical work in Washington. He built a store for general merchandise in Nashville in 1865, in which business he continued until 1883, whoa he moved to Claireiqont, South Dakota. Here he remained for about ten years, engaging in farming and commercial pursuits. He returned to Michigan in 1863 and located at Grand Rapids, where he was engaged for three years in the grocery business, since which time he has been conducting a fruit farm at Plainwell, Mich. While in Nashville he was for many years a member of the common council and of the school board, and also at different times filled the positions of clerk and treasurer- In 1882-3 he represented this district in the state legislature. He was nearly all of his life an active member of the Methodist church and it was largely due to his efforts that the first Methodist society in Nashville was organized and a house of worship erected. The same was true of the present handsome edifice, be having been chairman of the build­ ing committee and giving freely of both time and money toward the con­ struction of the edifice. In politics he was always a republlcan and he was one of the most active and energetic workers for the party in the country. H# was married three times, bis first wife having been Miss Jaoe Haight of Woodland. Two children were born to this union, but both died in infancy, the wife and children both dying during the war. In 1865 he was married to Mary Ellis at Hastings. She died in 1874, and in September. 1876, he was married to Maria McNab in Berrien Springs, Mich., who sur­ vives him. He died May 7th, 1903, at his home at Plainwell and was buried on Satur­ day afternoon in the Baptist cemetery at'Woodland, where are buried all of his family who had gone before. He leaves, besides the bereaved wife, an adopted daughter, Mrs. Leota Kail of Grand Rapids. He was a man whose whole life was devoted to his loved ones, and his sweetness of spirit and tenderness as husband and father was such as to most thoroughly endear him and his memory to them. The beauty of his quiet, unassuming Christian living shines as a beacon to all who knew him, and his long life, filled with good deeds and with thdt charity which suffered! long and is kind, is most worthy of the most sincere emulation. May he rest in peace. ' APPROVED METHODS. Wb«n yon bny meat* al onr i^arkel ynu know you ar* RrtSliiK trash, whotMonx, iumU.

The Farmers’ Union Mutual Fire Insurance company of Barry, Ionia and Kent counties, with offices at Woodland, this county, is now re­ writing its policies in accordance with action taken at the annual meet­ ing, held in January. Hereafter all assessments will be made in advance, and the company will save all loss from delinquent policy holders, and the heaty expense of interest on borrowed money. It is a method which has recently been adopted by several of the most progressive com­ panies in the state, and has much to commend it. The way in which the assessments are levied will materially differ from the old way. An advance assessment of 25 cents on the hundred dollars of insurance in force is made and this money is Immediately col­ lected and held In reserve. As fast as losses occur and are adjusted they will be paid out of this fund and another assessment will not be made until this fund is practically exhausted, when another assessment will be levied. This may be in ten months or it may not be for two years, according as the The business world demands & company is fortunate or unfortunate k experts in all branches, and is ■ In its losses.

This company has always Charlotte, Mich. had a splendid reputation for honesty, ’Phone, Itt integrity, promptness in meeting its <Be | ^An | j Expert | S losses and the generosity with which it adjusts itircl^inis. In losses which cotq^shdrt of being total, they are alw^| very liberal, ’their policy always hiving been to meet the loss of their policy holders as nearly as possible in justice to the membership at large. When a mad has a fire and loses part or all of his buildings'and their contents, it hurts to; have the company in which he has been paying his good money for years cut him down at every possible, spot and place, anti baggie like jews over every article consumed or dam cured. Thia company was organized with the idea of helping its members when they were so unfortunate' as to have a loss by fire, and it has always endeavored to live fully up to that idea, so that while their assesBmeats have been in some years-a little highenthan other companies, when a patrod takes into consideration the facts just stated, he realizes that he is getting all that he pays for, and that if he has a lost.he wifi be honestly and fairly dealt with in its adjustment. * The company is now re-writing its policiesi and wc are informed that all of the members to whom the matter of the new method is explained are well pleased with it. We commend this company to. our readers, with the suggestion that it is a good idea to do business’with people whose desire it is to treat all men fairly and honestly. VIOLATORS ROUNDED UP.

While the majority of than know Mr. Brewster, who baa held the office a number of years, to be an active and aggressive official in this position, yet they feel that the expens® fociirred by him is too great for th® good accomplished.

Foundin Not only is Oma'ha’s business almost paralysed by union troubles, but now the public schools are threatened, for the school children are .striking. About fifty took the initial* rtep at the Holy Family parochial school to secure shorter hours. They immediately sent out picket* and induced about the same number to join them from the 8t. Philomenas school at the afternoon recesf? There is also a union being formed of the children in the public schools, and at Keilom, a graded school, a walk-out is threatened If one of the teachers Is not removed. The strike at’ the Holy Family Church school was a business-like affair. The school has about fifty pupils, half of whom are ference and it was decided that school bourn should be from 9:30 to 11145 in­ stead of from 9 to 12, and 1:15 to 3. in­ stead of 1 to 3:80. Accordingly the boys left the school nt noon and agreed not to return* until their demand was grant­ ed. Hird to Cry for Help. Attracted by cries of "Murder!” “Help!" "Come quick!” neighbors of •George B. Andrews of Washington. N. • ‘ J., ran to his house to find out the cause. They knew the cries were made by his , parrot, but they had never heard it scream so loud before. Andrews lay on the floor unconscious, bleeding from a great gash in hia neck. He had been repairing the ceiling and had fallen from a stepladder, sjriking a stove. A physi­ cian took six stitches to close the wound and said that in,only a few minutes An­ drews would’ have been dead. Thia h not the first time the parrot has looked after the welfare of Its owner. Some years ago the house next door caught fire. The parrot’s screams awakened Andrews in time to arouse his neighbors before much damage was done. Fonn<l at I>awrcnceville, Hi. Archie Davies, the 18-year-old son of O. L. Davies of Kansas* City, and a trnmn who had kidnaped him. were found in the railroad yards at Lawrence­ ville, 111., by Sheriff Peter J. Carr. The t>oy at first seemed to be afraid of the tramp and could hardly.be Induced to talk, but he finally said he is Archie Da­ vies. When captured the tramp swore and commanded the boy to keep silent. The tramp gave bis name a* Frank Wilmouth, and denied the kidnaping. Mrs. Daries has traveled in search of her boy for six months. It is said that this Is the second, time Wilmonth has enticed the boy nnd tnkrn him all over the country, forcing him to beg and steal. , FUN <1N THE DIAMOND.

Great Increase in immigration from Ireland is shown by the record of.the first four months of this‘year, compared with the same period of other recent years. Statistics given out the other day show the arrival In New York of 8.206 Irish immigrants for the four months ending April 30, against 4,002 for the same pe­ riod last year. For several years there was a falling off in Irish immigration. All other nationalities which come here show a larger ;>ercentage of males than fe­ males. but of the Irish coming this year nbout 70 per cent are females. Many are girls in their teens.

It is rumored that while oneof our young men was returning home from seeing his girl one Sunday night recently, to fell asleep in the buggy nnd the bone turned into a farmer's yard and stopped before the barn door. This awoke the young man who was so bewildered for a few minutes that be thought he was in Chicago.. It is evident that his borseship thpught it was too late at night for him to be traveling on the road and after being left to do his own driving he made tricks for the first barn he could reach. Within three weeks there has been two beggars through this vicinity. The last played the role of a deaf mute and at oue house where the man and his wife had no money to give him be was both insulting and ioupuocnt in his mann<!r; at anottor house where the woman was alonesto was so frightened she gave him all the money sto had In tha house think^g it the surest and quickest wav to get rid of him. He frightened a school ma’am nearly out of ter wits by walking in the school house and grabbing ter by tte arm. That name day iu town to was seen spending his money freely and having a good time at tte expense of the people's generosity. When a man travels about tte country these times begging you may be sure he is a humbug and tte test wav to use them ia trips it has ever been his pleasure to take, and brought homo with him a nice catch of trout, aud a plentiful supply ot tan. His vacation trip led him into a number of pleasant places along the line of the' Fere Marquette railroad, into a number of bright and hustling towns, and near to tte heart of nature. Among tte towns visited, the first was Newaygo, where Jolly Ed Shaw run* tte only newspaper and also bold? down the poatofiiee for Uncle Sam. Bro. Shaw took us a trip through bis place of business and around the town. The leading industry here is a mammoth portland cement plant, run by water power from the river, which has sufficientyfull here to supply power to many more manufacturing industries. Newaygo has retained tte county seat of Newaygo county, after a bitter contest, and is now getting ready to take on a boom. We visited the town of Fremont, northwest of Newaygo, which is also a lively village and rated one of the best in Northern Michigan. We had the pleasure ‘tere of meetipg Mias Grace McIntosh, formerly of Naahville, who is stenographer and bookkeeper for the Hain Hardware Co. Our next stop was al Traverse City, that bright motropoiui of Nyrtiiern Michi­ gan, when- we bad the plrosun- ot seeing many old friends, among item being Mr. and Mrs. A. D. Squires, Ira Hocox. W. F. Wolcott, Herbert and Lester Welch, John Hager, and other people who were formerly residents of Nashville. All arc doing well and arc more than pleased with tte hustling town lu which their lot is cast. The next point where we were put off the train' was Rapid City, where wc joined forces with Bert Hager, tte efficient car repalrer.of the P. M. R. R., and in his spare moments we had all sorts of fun with tte festive trout, which tere abounds in all Its glory. Tte stream is a hard one to fish, as it is literally tilled with tte । tops of cedar trees for almost its entire length, the trees along me banks having been felled into the stream in order to get the tops more easily out of the way of tte lumbermen.

He is looking well and although he has been in St. Luke’s hospital, New York City, for the post six weeks, he *av* he is feeling better than be has since his terrible fall on October 28,1895.’ The cause of his being in the hospital this time was a sore on one of his feel. He will go to Chicago next week and after a visit with u ' sister-there "will return to tne east. The .May crop report has the follow­ ing to say regarding tho wheat crop prospects: . The condition of wheat is about the same as one, month ago. Some damage has been‘done on low i ground and on heavy clay soil; howover, the cool, wet weather has been, as a rule, favorable for the crop. Some correspondents report fly in the wheat but as yet no great amount of damage has been done. The aver I age condition of wheat is, in the state and southern counties 89, in the central counties 87, and the northern counties 93.

A gasolene stove caused a blaze in Cronk & Son’s bakery Tuesday after­ noon which looked for a time as though it would give the firemen a fierce fight, but it was soon gotten under control and slight damage re­ sulted. One of the employes took tbe tank from tbe stove to fill It while the stove was burning and in some manner it slipped from her hands and fell on tbe stove. There was some oil in the tank and os it slopped out blazed up against tbe wall and had a nice start when oline of hose was taken in and a stream of Water soon settled it. A number of pails were secured by bystanders who did good work keeping tbe flames down until tbe department arrived, but we doubt if they could have coped with the fire. Tbe Jay was a bad one for a fire to start, a heavy wind blowing up Main street, and if it had secured a little more start we are of the opinion that the fire laddies would have had something to do.

Strong submitted to an abdominal hysterectomy for uterine carcinoma at hpr home in the village Monday, performed by Dr. R P. Comfort of this village and Dr. J. W. Lowrey of Hastings, Dr. Baker giving the anu-sthetlc, and while the opera­ tion was a complete success the lady is in a very dangerous condition and there are grave fears that she can not recover. Mrs. Strong has been in poor health for some time and it has been known that she was suffering from cancer and that nothing would relieve her but an operation, consequently this was decided upon some time ago, but the physicians found her condition even worse than they had expected to find it. the operation being a very difficult one, however it was success­ fully accomplished and there is faint hope of her recovery. Her many friends sympathize with her and sin­ cerely hope for her ultimate recovery. More of our people ought to use the city water on their lawns. Tbe price is certainly cheap enough, and while the hours are somewhat arbitrary, the benefit is great, not only to the appear­ ance of the lawns and the growth of gardens, but also in keeping down the intolerable dust of the streets -in dry season. _________ Elmer Hart who was arrested last week for disregarding the ordinance relative to constructing wooden build­ ings within the fire limits, had his trial Friday. F. W. Walker of Hastlings appeared for Hurt and Ed. Malliory for the village. A compromise was reached whereby • Hart pleaded guilty and was assessed the costs, which were less than two dollars. Deputy Game Warden Chas. K. Hoyt aud Deputy Sheriff R. A. Brooks have been busy the past week round­ ing up violators of the fish laws and have not only secured nine convictions here, mention of which was made in last week’s News, but Tuesday gaths ered in three violators at Vermont­ ville, C. J. Kroger and son Frank and Ernest Moore, who were taken before Esquire Benedict at that place and find $5 and Jcosta. which made an “assessment”' for each of 89.45, which was paid. They were arrested for using a net in Thornapple river. The officers sucured the nets which the justice ordered delivered to the state game warden for destruction. Mr. Hoyt says he is through in this yieinity and will leave for other parta today. A comparative record of the busi­ ness done al this station of the Michi­ gan Central Ry. in April, 1902. and tbe same month of this year show? a handsome balance in favor of the latter. The freight received in April, 1903, was 1,733,943 pounds as against 829,235 pounds in the same month of 1902, an increase in pounds of ’804,708. Freight forwarded in April 1903 was 1,631,474, as against 1,186,914 pounds in tbe same month of 1902, an in­ crease of 444,560 pounds. The revenue from the freight forwarded in April 1903 was 81,644.22, and 81,219.63 in the same month of 1902, an increase of 8424.59. The revenue on freight re­ ceived in the same month of 1903 was 81,460 and in 1902, 8750.84, an increase of 8709.16. This would show that Nashville according to its size is a great shipping point, and the fact that the railroad business is on the increase would prove that it is getting better all the lime. Some of the state papers, in their zeal for the passage of tne Colby pri­ mary election bill, have criticised Senator Glasgow for the course he has taken in trying to get the matter before the legislature in another and petter form. So far us tbt people of Nash­ ville and vicinity are concerned, we have heard nothing of tbe kind, and we believe they understahd how Mr. Glasgow feels about the matter and ere well pleased with the course he has taken. In tbe first place, Mr. Glasgow is in favor of a primary election law, not the sweeping Colby bill, but a bill correcting the evils where they originate—in* the caucus, and he is advising and also working to have members of the legislature included in the bill. He determined, by checking up, that the substitute to the Colby bill was tbe only bill before tbe senate which had votes enough to pass, and it was either force that as far as possible or get nothing. Again, when he compared the condition, politically and financially, of Mich­ igan with that of any other state exKlmenting with primary election s, he w&s satisfied that we are in a position to go slow without material injury until the superiority of the primary election law was proven in other states now trying It. As wa have said before in The News, we believe a primary election law of the right kind should be enacted in Michigan, but we believe It is as well to study the question until we have some sort of an idea of tbe kind of a law we want, as to rush something through that will prove a boomerang. - NUMBER 39 DROWNS WHILE BATHING. Harry Sheldon Meets a Sudden Death - in the Mill Pond. IN THE WATER.TEN MINUTES. Seized by Cramps While Bathing. Efforts to Resuscitate of no Avail. . The mill pond has ‘claimed, another victim. Harry Sheldon, sixteen years old, son of Mr. and Mrs. Ed Sheldon, living on South Main street, was drowned shortly after seven o'clock last Saturday evening whil? bathing. He was .seized with cramps and al­ though several other boya of about his age were there with him they lacked presence of mind or were too frightened to assist him, but instead ran toward town giving the alarm, and it was only a few minutes until a large crowd had congregated . at tbe bridge. Harry Cooper was one of the flrst to arrive and upon being told where he was last seen, immediately dove from the bridge. His dive was accurate and be found him with little search aud grabbing his bathing trunks arose with him to the surface, where he was assisted in getting him onto the bridge. Drs. Baker and Shilling were on hand and commenced work or. him at once but there was faint hope of saving his life as he had been in too long; nevertheless they worked faithfully until every sparK of life hud fled and then gave up. He was then curried to the home he had left only a short time before in the full vigor of youthful joy', to his almost distracted parents, who have the sympathy of the entire community in their sud bereavement. The place where he was drowned was about twenty-five feet west of the bridge in about twelve feet of water, and only a short distance from where young Barnes and Irving Boston were drowned several yeans ago. The funeral was held at the Evan­ gelical church Wednesday afternoon and was largely attended. Many and beautiful flowers were in evidence attesting the love and esteem the lad was held in. Rev. F. E. Armstrong, assisted by Rev. Albert Smith, con­ ducted the services. The remains were laid to rest in Kalamo cemetery. LOCAL AND PERSONAL. Try those prunes at Quick’s. Band open-air concert May 27.

Those who have raised chickens know thnt one of tbe troubles with whjvh they have to contend Is keeping the Hxtle ones from being drowned by the hard and frequent showers of the spring. Where brooders are used tbl* trouble Is obviated, but. on the' other hand, the chick* ought to be given some of the freedom of outdoors n* early aa possible, so thnt even brooderraised chicks ought to have a run in the open air. Tbe Illustration shows a design for a coop with a covered run attached which will prevent any trou­ ble with the chick*. This run may be made so a* to attach it to the coop when desired, and may be of any desired dimension*. It consists simply of a light frame covered with muslin, the frame bdpg built on a slant, in the way shown in the cut. By having hooks at each corner and eyes screwed Into the corners of tbe coop this frame may be attached in a moment If the day looks stormy, simply attach this covered run to tbe coop, and you will 3.000 • None.

The drawing* of each “book” are held twice a day. Seventy-eight numbers are, theoretically, held in a wheel. Twelve are withdrawn for each of the morning drawings. Tbe most thnpie form of gambling at policy is a wager on the first number drawn. As there aro 78 numbers the odds against guessing the first out should be 77 to 1. Instead of those odds, 50 to 1 is paid. Twenty-five to one is paid that the number cannot be gue?*ed which will be first out in either of the morning drawings. Tbe odds should be 38 to 1. . Most familiar of the policy plays is known as a “gig.” The player attempts 1 to guess three of the 12 numbers drawn iu the morning or three of the 13 num­ ber* drawn in the afternoon. With negro players 4-11-44 compose a favorite “gig.” and when the three num­ bers appear, ns they do on an average of about once a year, the fact is well ad­ vertised. The "dead gig." to be played after the death of a relative or some noted person, is made up of "9-I9-29.” The “fire.gig" iZ-G-RMW.’- The “shoe fig" i« ”5-9-16?’ The “eating gig” is “2-12-21.” The “straw hat gig.” which is played by all ^policy players on the appearance of the first straw hat on the rtreet, is "l-8-7j.” Strange aa it sounds, policy ha<* caus­ ed the greatest revival of church going imong Chicago colored folk that has been witnessed in many years of shouting re­ vivals.

Politicians and officials who are member* of the gambling clniue arc gathering in a harvest of dollar* and political influence* are protecting the j game. The city is honeycombed with, policy shops’, whose source of main:— nance is chiefly among the poorest peo­ ple. There are 1,400 of thi1^ gambling places in Chicago, controlled by a syndi­ cate.

One feature of the rituation is the ■warming of the policy ahops about schools and churches. The syndicate in­ augurated a campaign among The school children about three years ago. and since then tbe mites of the nrebina which would have been expended for candy have been poured into the coffer* of the policy "graft." One Inspector made an inves­ tigation which revealed a shocking con­ dition of affair* in his district. He found that every school building had it* policy complement of half a dozen policy shops. . As soon as the bell for recess rang the children were accustomed to troop out to play the "gigs" and "saddles” of the penny lottery.

Ths summer temperature made the members of the House feel lazy Monday night. Instead of going Into committee of the whole to talk over bills, as has been customary, they voted to. do noth­ ing except listen to Gov.

Gov. .Bliss called the bluff of the House, when he vetoed the bill pruposj iqg to legislate- Deputy Game Warden Brewster out of office and It is now up | to the Lcgislatitw to try and pass the bill over the Governor’s h«*p«i. and the House has a chance to curry out its implied threat to kill the bill to estab­ lish a mattual training school for • the blind at Saginaw. . The House worked Tuesday morning, but took a recess until 3:30 in the after­ noon, nnd tha Senate held off until that hour in order that the member, might hear Gov. Bliss’ speech to the soldier* of the Thirty-first, attending the reunion of that regiment. The heaviest appro­ priation bill of the m-ssion came up in the . House in the shape of n measure providing far $353,(MN) for the home for the feeble minded at Lnpeer, about $171,­ 000 being fur new buildings. mid the de­ bate resulting brought out a' moat re­ markable proposition from Represcnrath-e Rodgers, which was that hopeltssfy incurable feeblo-miu^cd persons be put to denth.

The bill, aa reported by the ways nnd means com­ mittee, had fixed the figur^ at $50,000. nnd Representative Van Zoerrn of .Grand Rapids moved to make It $85.00*1. but this was quickly voted down. Then Rep­ resentative Lovell of Berrien tried to have the amount cut to $40,000, saying that the farmers would get very little benefit from the exhibit, but Represent­ ative Whelan of Ottawa made an impas­ sioned plea for the glory of Michigan, and Lovell withdrew bis amendment, the amount being left nt $50.0<X). The bill appropriating $7,300 a year for forestry propagation was passed after some ar­ gument. After many weeks of talk the bill appropriating $250,000 for a soldiers* monument on the capital grounds at Lan­ sing was put through the Senate, but there was considerable opposition.

I was acting as a sentinel on a dark and stormy night, when suddenly 1 peered Into the darkness and' saw a man’s figure. ’’’Halt.’ I demanded. 'Come no far­ ther till you give the countersign!* " ‘Oh. father.’ don’t you know me?' cried the man. “ 'Why, Tom! How came you here?* I asked, nnd he fell ns if almost dead. “I quickly lifted him in my arms and carried him to the tent. , “The next day there was a battle, a long, fierce1 one, nnd denth went with the exploding of the soldiers' awful guns. I caught n glimpse of my brave boy. af­ ter the thickest of the tray. He was bending over a comrade with a whis­ pered word of cheer, and a promise to write for him, to the friends who were so dear. The soldier’s breath grew quicker, and on Tom he leaned, till his life candle flickered and went out. “One day I was wounded by a shot, and la n few days I came here to my home on the hilt As I was rending of the dead, suddenly there nrose n mist, sort of swimming in my head, for my Tom’s name was on the list. He had died for his country’s sake.” • Tears were in the listeners’ eyes as Zeke slowly took his seat, nmid cheers that echoed and re-echoed.

He was too moved to speak. Yes. there were the same eyes, and the same mark on the forebead. After the excitement had calmed Tom continued, "There was a mistake in the names. Twas another Tom that died and the news was sent to the wrong par­ ents. I have been west all thess years, have mafle my fortune nnd have returned to take care of my mother and father in their declining days.” As he finished .speaking, three cheers were given to wdcome him back to bis borne.

As recompense for having stolen her pocketbook in 1888 Georgo H. Todd, a. miserly traveling peddler of Utica, N. Y.. has bequeathed $40,000 to Mr*. Pe­ ter Jordon of Brockton, Moss. Todd had always been looked upon us penniless, but after his death a wallet was found in his pocket containing a bankbook and securities worth more than $40,000. This amount was accumulated through nig­ gardly saving, the scantiest of living, suffering in cold weather for want of proper clothing, going without foes! rath­ er than buy. Todd had carried a tin box for fifty years from one end of th* country to the other, always selling somethin/ and invariably begging hia meal's and lodgings. For the last ten or fifteen years he had used a wheelbarrow and his tall, gaunt figure li'n<! become a familiar object in all parts of the coun­ try. The annual missionary meetings of Baptists held in Buffalo serve to. draw attention to. this great branch of the L’hrUtian family. According to the latest official returns there are in tbe entice country 4330,462 communicants ‘ of the Baptist belief. They are gathered into 41.829 churches and are served by 30.809 ministers. The gain* last yen? were 376 churches. 648 ministers ahd 61399 mem­ bers, a net gain of about l*s per cent. The baptisms were 233.0HS. Multiplying the number of commanicants by three, it would be safe to say that the Baptist adherent* are about J3,006.0U9 in. num­ ber—utMrsixih of the |M>pulatiun of Ihe nation. The edneationu! institutions es­ tablished and mauagvtl by Baptists in the United States, including theological seminaries universities, college*, acade­ mic.*, etc., are 214, with property valued nt $25,000,900, nud endowments worth $24,000,000 more. The students In-these .institutions number 47.000,' of whom 3,­ 300 are undying for the ministry. . • Of the total Baptist churches and membership in the United- States, more than two-thirds are in the South, and of those in the South more thaiT half, are negroes. These have their own organ­ izations for missionary and other work, but it is incorrect to speak of them ax differing denominationally from the Bap­ tists of the North. They arc all one body, and »o regard themselves in every respect. The fact thnt the Baptista are purely congregational in government, and recognize no ecclesiastical authority, high­ er than the local church, sometimes lead* to a misunderstanding of their organiza­ tions and methodk. With them voluntar­ ism in religious matters and church de­ pendency are carried to .the highest de­ velopment. The Baptists of the North number 1,000,000 communicants and it is these who are holding their meetings in Buf­ falo. Up to a few years prior to the Civil War the Baptists of the entire .country met together for their missionary anni­ versaries. But the difference* thnt grow out of slavery led to a division in 1845, and after the war it was felt that the membership hud become too large to make its union in benevolent work prac­ ticable. The principal ROcietfc* meeting in Buf­ falo this year are the American Baptist Missionary Union (foreign missions), with headquarters in Boston; the- Ameri­ can Baptist Publication Society of Phila­ delphia, nnd the American Bapti-t Home TORNADO HITS THE WEST.

Maggie Messimer has been obliged to leave school for tbe rest of the year on account of sickness. Miss McMore is unable to meet her classes this week because of sickness. Mrs. Lathrop is filling the vacancy. The boys are again happy. They now have grounds for a base ball diamond on the field back of the post­ office. Miss Johnson’s pupils very kindly remembered her birthday on the 26th. She was pleasantly surprised at her home by the entire room.. After a pleasant evening they departed leav­ ing behind them some very handsome tokens of their good will. Judges- Smith of Hastings and Maynard of Charlotte and Prosecut­ ing Attorney F. W. Walker of Hast­ ings have been secured to act as judges of the debate tonight and Mr. Glas­ gow will be asked to preside. As no admission will be charged there ought to be a crowded house. As Decoration day falls on Satur­ day this year it will be impossible for the teachers to ihsist upon the attend­ ance of all pupils at the ceremonies in the cemetery and opera house, but as long as tbe school is to take a part we do hope tlp.1 every parent will insist that his children will be present, unless there is some good excuse. One bf the best reasons for observing the day is because of the lessons it teaches our young and in order that they be benetitted they must be present. “The Banquet of Nations’’ to be given by the representatives of the junior and sophomore classes has been delayed by sickness and other unavoidable reasons fnr beyond the time when it was to have been given. However as most of our sick ones have returned and work is once more under way. we feel safe in announcing it for Friday evening, June 12. All participating in the event will be in­ costume and everything will be done to make it the success of the year. On Friday evening of this week the debate between Vermontville and our high school will occur. This is the second time the teams have met this year and if the first meeting was any indication of what is coming you will be well repaid for your time and trouble. The debaters on both sides are at their best and a battle royal will result. While we trust that our rep­ resentation will repeat their former victory, we are aware thnt the visit­ ing team is 'in winning form aud the contest will be a close one and can be won only by hard work and the sup­ port of school and town.

Keller of Lake­ view wishes to open up a saloon in the village and had, in a quiet way, secured bondsmen which be asked the council to accept. They could not see it that wfcy, however, and after considerable discussion voted not to accept them. A number of outsiders were present and expressed their views. The bondsmen Mr. Keller had secured were already on another like bond and while the law states that one man car. go on two bonds it is also clear to the council that he can not do so unless he can show up that he has property sufficient to secure the village in the sum of eight thousand dollars, four thousand being required for one. Then there were those who held that two saloons are enough In the village and they would not vote to accept the bonds of another saloon if they should be ever t»o good. We understand Mr. Keller is determined to open up here, but whether he can secure bondsmen or not is a question. Bills to the amount of over fifty dollars were allowed and the council adjourned. NASHVILLE WON For the second time this year Nash­ ville's high school debating team has met Vermontville’s representatives and won a complete victory. The first debate was on the immigration ques­ tion: the second on government owner­ ship of railroads and coal mines. The debate last Friday night was full of interest from start to finish and was keenly enjoyed by all who were able to gain admission to the hall. By half past seven every seat in the house was filled with the representa­ tives of the two schools and their friends. By eight o’clock every inch of standing room was filled with the crowd reaching out to the sidewalk. Inside was a yelling, howling mass of enthusiasts who came to see their side win and who continually gave vent to their feelings in school songs and yells which continued until the meet­ ing was called to order by Hon. C. L. Glasgow who acted as chairman and timekeeper in his usual happy way. Judge Smith of Hastings was unable to be present ho it was decided to leave the decision to the two remaining judges, Mr. Walker of Hastings and Mr. Nichols of Charlotte. As soon as the judges had decided upon the scheme of marking to be used, the pre­ liminary musical number, a duet by Mg^Scarvel and Alda Downing, was rendered in excellent form and Mr. Glasgow in a few fitting words intro­ duced the first speaker, Mr. Ned B. Alsover of Vermontville, who opened the debate in a very masterly way. He was followed by the leader of the nega­ tive, Miss Sarah Franck, who won the hearts of the house from the first NUMBER 41 both because of her easy, forcible man­ ner of spe4Mpg and because she was the only glrT^n the contest. After her the remaining debaters, Harley . A. Dorman of Vermontville. Earl Brown, Mark A. Hammond of Vermontville and Ellis Lake followed in the order named. Sarah Franck discussed the question very largely ffrom the legal and con­ stitutional sides and in a very logical manner showed that government 'own­ ership of our railroads and coal bear­ ing lands could become possible only through an unconstitutional act on the part of the government, and then continued to show that if the Illegal act was done we would still be the loser because government ownership would prevent al! .competition. /Her manner of speaking was good and her debate was one of the best of the even­ ing. ' Earl Brown was the second debater for Nashville and in a concise clear­ cut way he advised his hearers to let good enough alone. Our railroads today are the most serviceable in the world, our rates of transportation, considering the facilities enjoyed, are the lowest In the world and when conpeting lines have qo ns pi red to raise rates they are openly violating laws which the United States courts have recently shown can be enforced if the people demand it. Government own­ ership Is a success only in monarch­ ies and not at all suited to our ways of living. Therefore our remedy for existing evils is in our courts, not in government ownership. The last speaker was Eilia Lake. His excellent voice, easy manner of speaking and his clear thinking all helped to win the victory. He made a wonderful clear argument in fayor of personal rights and very effectually refuted the statements of the affirm­ ative that government ownership would lower prices aud prevent strikes. Although the decision of the judges was close it -certainly met with the approval of all who heard Lhe debate. Nashville won by proving every point they raised and by the earnest, con­ vincing manner of her debaters. Ver­ montville debaters were weli trained, had good delivery and in every way reflected honor upon their school but to an impartiah observer it would seem that they attempted to prove too much and therefore failed in getting the decision. # POSTOFFICE ROBBERS AGAIN. An Attempt to Rob the Office at Hastings Unsuccessful. Postoffice robbers made an unsuc­ cessful attempt Friday night to loot the postofiice at Hastings and failed to gain entrance to the safe which con­ tained more than 81,500 in money and stamps. The robbers evidently came into town from the south. They stole a horse and a new buggy from Harry Johnson, a farmer living near Whisky Run, seven miles south of there, and drove into town with it. After making their attempt at safe-crackiug, they drove south again, but finding that their horse was becoming tired they abandoned it at the farm of Robert Blivens, a halAmile out, and stole another horse from Wm. Hitchcock, with which they continued their jour­ ney. The visit was not learned of until Friday morning, when it was found that the would-oc robbers had gained entrance through a rear window. With tools stolen from the blacksmith shop of James Radford they knocked off the handle of the safe and then soaped the cracks preparatory to putting la a charge of nitro. They were apparent­ ly frightened away at this point, how­ ever, as with the exception of the broken handle the safe was left un­ harmed . The horse stolen from Mr. Hitch­ cock was found in Battle Creek, where it had been abandoned by the robbers, Friday noon. The men were not seen there. THE LAST SERVICE. The wall for the addition tothe __ Evangelical church is finished and carpenters will commence work next Monday. The work will be pushed as rapidly as possible. On account of repairing the church the Sunday school will render an excellent Child­ ren's day program next Sunday even­ ing, commencing at 7:30 o’clock, and thia will be the last service held in the old church as it now stands. The society will hold its regular Sunday morning and evening services in the Congregational church until its new home is ready for occupancy. Every­ body come next Sunday and enjoy the farewell service. A PLEASANT PROSPECT. The stewards of the Methodist church will give their home talent entertain­ ment at the opera house on Thursday evening of next week, instead of Wednesday evening, as announced last week. Following we give the program, which promises an excellent evening’s entertainment: Piano duet, Mrs. John Scarvell and Miss Alda Downing; Recitation, Ma­ rie Rasey: vocal solo with violin accompaniment, Miss Rhoda Buel; selection, Nashville mandolin club; recitation, Miss Grace Crooks; piano solo, Miss Olah Lentz: recitation, Mrs. Ella Truman; vocal solo, Mrs. John Bcarvel; Mandolin solo, Mrs. Ollie Patterson; recitation, Mrs. Harriet Furniss; vocal duet, Miss Josephine Nevins and Mrs. Lulu Greene.

CHINA SERVICE WHICH SOLD FOR $15,000. MR. AND MRS. OSCAR WEBER AND CHILDREN. Oscar Weber, of Atlantic City, proves his belief lu the “Roosevelran the­ ory” by striving to pound out a living as a cabinet maker for a family of thirteen children, ten of whom are boys. By strict attention to derail and Indomitable ambition Weber lias succeeded in giving all of them educational advantages and none of them has gone to bed hungry. The oldest child has reached tbe advanced age of 25. and the youngest 1* half past three.

While we nre nil leaking forward hopefully to tbe day when the main runds shall be In perfect condition for light and heavy travel, with macadam or other improved surfaces, it vt'lll probably be many years before the ruta and mud holes are all removed. Until that time comes there will be frequent use for the wagon attachment which we here present, and many a teamster with a heavy load will have cause to* thank rhe Inventor who devised such UGHT539 THE WOttX OF HOUSE*. an Ingenious arrangement to help him out when the wagon becomes stuck in the mad. The picture almost explains itself, showing, as it does, bow the in­ vention gives a leverage near the cir­ cumference of the wheel. Instead of compelling the team to pull direct on -the axle, as heretofore. From each lend of the doubletree a rod runs back to the upper end of a lever pivoted on the axle. Attached to these levers are pawls, which engage the teeth of the ratchet wheels, the latter being secur­ ed to the rear wheels of the wagon. When a team is pulling a heavy load the doubletree vibrates, owing to the fact that the two horse* do not step In unison and do not pull exactly to­ gether. It is this vibration that is util­ ised in applying the device, as It en­ ables the pawls to secure alternate ’ hold on the teeth of either wheel, thus gradually working the wagon out of the rut or up the steep hill. When the team Is traveling smoothly on a level rond the pnwls fide idly In the ratchets without interfering with the rotation ef the wheel. Pronina Before Plant!ns. The experienced fruit grower nnderatands full well that bls beat sucpftss will, come from giving-the trees and plants he sets every opportunity to get a good start, hence be nevp: con­ cerns himself nboert the crop Except as something he expects to have In the future. The Inexperienced, in setting small fruit plants, keeps uppermost in mind a possible crop tbe next sea­ son. the one immediately following planting, and therefore bls chief con­ cern Is to preserve all tbe growth the plant has at the time of setting. Rasp­ berry and blackberry plants should be cut back close to the ground at tbe time they are set. while currant aud goose­ berry plants may be aafely cut back at least one-half. With strawberry plants, it pays to, keep the blossoms picket! off the season directly follow­ ing planting, unless, of course, tho plants are those grown in pots and set fn midsummer for fruiting the follow­ ing season. The amount of pruning that should be done on newly- set trees depends somewhat on the tree as re­ ceived. I’rach trees are usually cut back to a-single whip, while tbe growth on other trees to' reduced from onethird to two-thlrds. depending, as stat­ ed. on the condition of tne tree, at the time it Is received.

It would eeeni that fwopie learn tbe leasee slowly that It is noted that the hog Is invariably healthier In tbe dairy sections of the country than in those where the cow Is not kept, nnd this difference is at­ tributed to the use of skim milk for the pigs when young. When a plant produces seed it will not afterward make an attempt to flower. Pansies, which bear flowers profusely, should be kept clean by picking tbe flowers off dally. If this la not done tbe supply of flowers will soon fall off. Poor land on a farm mny be used to better advantage for forest than any other purpose. Even in very fertile districts there are few farms without some uucultlvable land. Land which Is extremely dry or wet, or rocky or sandy, or land subject to washing, should be used for forest.

The Senate hnd previously pasted the measure with a limitation as to mort­ gage* only, but the action yf the Houmc will probably be concurred in. There wa# a bitter fight over the bill. The House was nl] torn up over Gov. Bliss’ pet bill appropriating $110,000 for n manual training school for the blind, which his excellency wanted to have es­ tablished at Saginaw as a memorial to himself. An effort to have tbe bill post­ poned for another week failed, and C, E. Ward moved an amendment to have the proposed institution located at Lan­ sing. There was a lot of talk, but Ward'# motion was finally' carried. 35 to 3.

Consumption Salt pork is a famous oldfashioned remedy for con­ sumption. “Eat plenty of pork,” was the advice to the consumptive 50 and 10c years ago. Salt pork is good if a man can stomach it. The idea behind it is that fat is the food the consumptive needs most. Scott’s Emulsion is the mod­ ern method of feeding fat to the consumptive. Pork is too rough for sensitive stomachs. Scott’s Emulsion is the most refined of fats, especially prepared for easy digestion. Feeding him fat in this way, which is often the only way, is half the battle, but Scott’s Emulsion does more than that. There is some­ thing about the combination of cod liver oil and hypophos­ phites in Scott’s Emulsion that puts new life into the weak parts and has a special action on the diseased lungs.

Great loss of life has been occassioned in different parts of the country the past week. Down in Georgia a cyclone wiped out nearly a hundred lives. In Missouri floods have caused the loss of many lives and the destruct­ ion of millions of dollars worth of property. We have heard many nice compli­ ments for our cornet band expressed the past week, which they richly de­ serve. Their playing last Wednes­ day evening was superb and if the present rate of advancement is kept up we will »oon have a band that every citizen may well be proud of. Many .of. our readers will be pleased to learn that the honors of the graduating class of the Colombia University law school Of Washing­ ton, D. C., have been won by Jason Vfalerman. ton of Rev. and .Mrs. A. T. Waterman, formerly of this village. He ranks first iu a class of 110 mem­ bers. Tn recognition of this and as a token of personal regard his associ­ ates of tbe government printing office have presented him a valuable gift, being a copy of Bouvier’s la* dictionary. . Last Monday, June 1, was the birth­ day anniversary of Mrs. Herman Her­ rington, and Sunday bqiug the anni­ versary of their marriage, the occas­ ion was fittingly celebrated. A num­ ber of their friends and relatives as­ sembled at their pleasant homo on the south side to help them have a 'good time, and this they al! did. A number of pretty gifts were left them as re­ minders of their visit. The guests from away were, Mr. and Mrs. A. G. Hawkins, Mrs. Warren French and Miss Grace £Freqch of Vermontville, and Mrs: J. C. Ackerson of Saranac. Tbe occasion will long be remembered by those present. ’ Senator Glasgow was at Detroit Monday endeavoring to persuade tha Michigan Central people that they ought to'build a new passenger station in this village. The present edifice does very well for a freight house, but as a passenger station it Is jiMts little better than nothing, in bad weather. Mr. Glasgow thinks that the officials, think favorably of the matter, and hopes that pressure enough may be brought to bear upon them so that they will favor us with a neat new station in the near future. Nashville people will certainly ap­ preciate it, and will do all that could reasonably be asked of them in the matter. Tbe wedding of Miss Lulu E. Wells, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. James E. Wells of Battle Creek, to Arthur Robinson of the same city was solem­ nized al the home of the bride’s par­ ents last’ week Wednesday evening. The Battle Creek Moon has this tt) say of the happy couple: ‘ ‘The bride was a former resident of Nashville where she had a wide circle of friends and to this list many have been added since coming to Battle Creek about a year ago. The groom is a popular young gentleman of the Queen City. For three years he was one of the most fearless members of the fire de­ partment and drove the aerial truck. He was instrumental in organizing the Honey Comb Chocolate Chip tompany, one of the most prosperous en­ terprises in the city. He has recently added to his Interests in the purchase of the edal business of R. T. Lovell, which he is now conducting and gives firomise ot becoming one of our most nfluential citizens. He is also an active member of the lodge ot For­ esters. The best wishes of all are ex­ tended Mr. and Mrs. Robinson for a prosperous and happy future.” They will be at home after June 6th at their summer cottage at Goguac lake. Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Barnea and daughter Leah of this village attended thewedding. At a recent meeting of the council the dog muzzling ordinance, which was only recently passed was repealed and it {a not necessary now to keep your dog’s mug encased in a wire net. This was done because the aidermen cl aimed tbe ordinance could not be enforced from the fact that no one could be secured who would consent to lie "dog-slayer.” This duty, according to the law, would devolve upon tbe village marshal and it would certainly be his duty to enforce it. Ht has the law back* of him and the law is a mighty thing in this country of ours The ordinance is a good one and should be held and enforced. Other towns do it and the people of those towns certainly feel a greater degree of safety than they would if the street* were over-run with unmuzzled canines of all kinds, and in view of the many cases of .rabies over the state caused by mad dogs we can hardly concur in the action repealing the ordinance. The pasteur institute at Ann Arbor is full of cases all the time and Tuesday a man from near Grand Rapids was taken through the village on the morning train, who had been terribly bitten by a dog afflicted with rabieRabies, according to good authority, is a disease and not simply a condition caused by heat as many suppose, and migbl at any time break out.

In consequence some of these roultes will. lie abolished; A big fight against thia will be made by itatesmen. who -rendered favors to Machen and who have secured more than one re-elee tion on the strength of their securing the establishment of rural routes. But Post­ master General Payne admit* that the expenses are so heavy some of thV. un­ profitable robtes must be abolished. FIRE SWEEPS NEW’LISBON, WIH.

Friday was not fin unlucky day for us Jor it brought to our office Senator Glas­ gow, who represents this district in a body that has a larger percentage of twospots than any other institution In the state with the possible exception of the Home for the Feeble Minded. Senator Glasgow isn't one of the two-spots. His largeness of view may profit from com­ parison with ’‘the gang" but It is never­ theless entitled to commendation. The senator reviewed the respective merits of the bills before tl® legislature relating to primary reform; He opposes the Colby bill for tbe reason that, as be thinks, it begins at the wrong end of the subject. Instead of starting out to reform the manner of nominating candidates for state office, including governor—os much as the last nwds reforming, he would be­ gin at tbe caucus as now constituted. He knows the evil of the packed caucus where one man often dominates. Instead Of choosing delegates to county and state conventions os now, according to a previously prepared, slate, be would have the nominations 'made in such manner as to nearest express the wishes and conscience of the voter. To do this be would have each individual voter enter a booth at tbe caucus, as is now douo at tbe election, and express his preference CASTLETON CENTER. unhampered.

Tornadoes, destructive windstorms and torrential rains, that cause dernsutlng floods, are by no meana unfamiliar things in die West during the spring months, but thia year, during one brief period of ten days In May, a latv» section of the’West baa been afflicted with such destructive forces as It never was before during a period of similar length. Tornadoes raged almost dally, floods repeated themselves within a space of twenty-four hours, and even straight-blowing wind*, such as usually accompany thun­ der storms, developed power sufficient to entail a heavy loss of property and life. The worst phases of these storms were, for the most part, confined to Oklahoma. Kansas, Nebraska and Iowa, though Mlaaourl. Minnesota and Illinois also suffered to some extent. In Oklahoma and Kansas tbe floods produced by the heavy rains, in some places veritable cloudbursts, caused tbe greatest damage; In Nebraska the terrific winds, while Iowa suffered from both wind and water In equal amount. The storms prevailed gener­ ally al! over Iowa nnd Kansas; in Oklahoma they wefn confined, for tbe moat part, to the central sections, while in Nebraska the principal damage occurred In the eastern and northern portions. In all these States the prop­ erty loss ban been extremely heavy, hundreds of farmhouses being de­ stroyed. and a number of small towns almost obliterated.

I know of a case where a man, after a violent quarrel with his five sons, an­ nounced aloud hie wish to die. The next morning he thought better of it and retracted his words; but—so I was informed, in ail seriousness—the re­ vengeful. spirits shortly afterward in­ flicted the hoof disease on his herd, and took'kway three of his sons, one after another, says a writer Id Harper’s. Usually, however, the man who has proclaimed his wish to die remains firm until the end. I met. In 1895, at the Anui fair in the Kolyma country, a man by the name of Katik, who said that he wanted to get rid ’ of the troubles of this world. He had no apparent Illness, but his zest for life had completely vanished, and he intended to start for the land of his forefathers. He was as eager for death as if it meant for him a pleasant journey to a distant but very interesting country. The vicinity of the Russian fort was no place for the fulfillment of his wish, so he had to delay it for a couple of months; but when next I met Kotik's wife, early in the fall, she was already a widow. She told me the details of her hus­ band’s death in a very simple way. He was strangled with a lasso. She held his head in her lap, and two of his sons pulled the ends of the rope. Katik-’s wife told me also that he was cheerful to the last, and even joked the very moment his face was being covered, with the hood of the death coat to prevent tho*e present from see­ ing his last struggle. “The Human Body’’ was the sub­ GARLINGER’S CORNERS. ject set for an essay In a public school Mr. and Mrs. Jasper Deed, and Alien in New Jersey.

Consumption Salt pork is a famous oldfashioned remedy for con­ sumption. “Eat plenty of pork,” was the advice to the consumptive 50 and 100 years ago. Salt pork is good if a man can stomach it. The idea behind it is that fat is the food the consumptive needs most. Scott’s Emulsionisthemodern method of feeding fat to the consumptive. Pork is too rough for sensitive stomachs. Scott's Emulsion is the most refined of fats, especially prepared for easy digestion. Feeding him fat. in this way, which is often the only way, is half the battle, but Scott’s Emulsion does more than that. There is some­ thing about the combination of cod liver oil and hypophos­ phites in Scott’s Emulsion that puts new life into the weak parts and has a special action on the diseased lungs.

This was followed by the an­ nouncement that the case would be trans­ ferred to Cynthiana, Harrison County, for the second trial. It whs believed that there was only one man between the verdict of guilty or not guilty. It wm conceded that one juror was then for conviction nnd that the question of punishment had not been considered. Later the jury again rej>orted It was unable to agree and shortly after 9 o’clock it was discharged.

Marshall Field of Chicago secs in the labor situation, in the continued disaf­ fection and pc-sistent demands of virion* labor organizations for increased compen­ sation. a menace to the welfare of the country. Labor, in his opinion, ha* gone too far in qur country, and there is a day of reckoning to come, when with a lessening of trade activity aud recessions all around, labor, too. will find its value on decline. This day, be believes, is be­ ing hastened by the laboring men them­ selves In their insistence upon conces­ sions which employer* are obliged , to grant under the stress of a temporary labor scarcity; concessions which having been wrung out of employers through threats of ruinous *trike», will be tbe less likely to hold long after an easier tone develops in the labor market. While not­ ing every element of an adverse nature, , Mr. Field would put the labor question above them all in importance as bearing upon the question of a setback to Amer­ ican Industry. Lord Rothschild confined hi* observa­ tions principally to stock market affair*. He says: Two years ago when Wall street was almost crazy with bull specu­ lation no American talked of anything but further advances. To-day. with a record of heavy declines, there has been and there still Is much pessimism and the prediction of further heavy declines yet to come.

Elected nt the nictation of the Con­ spirator® Who Blew Alexander. The peaceful manner in which Prince Peter Karageorgevltch wa* choaeu King of Servia contrails curiously with the scone of atrocioui savagery which clos­ ed the life of his predecessor. 'Hie skupshtina and .senate, the two houses of the Servian parliament* met in joint session nnd within fifteeh minutes had made their choice, each member rising quietly in his place and announcing his rote. The blow which atruck down King Alexander was a crime againn both hu­ man and divine law. It was treason as well ns murder. Yet, the blow having been struck, the dynasty having been changed by a reversion to the ways of elemental aavagery, the same forces which brought about th® crime return xo the forms Of peace and law. The late conspirators against the throne are now the upholders of the throne, and those who Kill profess allegiance to the for-, mer King are, the only ones open to the charge of treason. Truly the Servian public, which cheerfully acquiesced in both proceedings, has giyen a carious instance of the way in wfcfch popular will may si?o above man-mad" law and become itself the law. For the other powers rhe chief diffi­ culty will be the question whether civil­ ization can afford wen tacitly to coun­ tenance assassination by recognizing the government now established. It has been announced that Great Britain will de­ cline to sustain diplomatic relations with the new ministry if it is to include any of the men who participated in the slay­ vv 1IMMT «T»«T. WKwvoaa orrr. ing of Alexander. This, says the Chicago News, apparently is. the only attitude compatible with civilized standards of law and morality, yet it may be doubted whether tbe attitude can be maintained. The men now in power m Servia are not likely to convict themselves of crime or put themselves out of office. They con­ stitute the Servian Trtate. The powers anay exact some form of trial and puninbtnent, but the chances are that after a pretense of the kind they wii* find themselves obliged to follow the exam­ ple of the Servian people and recognize the de facto government regardless of the hideous taethods which it employed in securing the governing power. The Servian parliament elected. Peter Karageotgevitch to the throne, practical­ ly at ths dictation of the conspirators who assasainated King Alexander and overthrew the government. Noue of the conspirators is to be punished. The offi­ cers of th- army after a conference, sent an ultimatum to the members of the sen­ ate and akupshtiuo, declaring: First—The form of government must not be changed. Second—the names of the conspirators must not be revealed nor the nature of the role they played in the revolution. Third—No officer must accept any re­ ward for th® services he rendered his country lu the removal of King Alexan­ der. Fourth—No officer who is arrested shall appear before the courts in mili­ tary uniform. Peter Karageorgevitch accepted th" throne by telegraph almoet as soon as it was offered him. Indeed, he accom­ panied his acceptance by a proclamation, evidently prepared in advance. Tte Thns far it dors not look much like an open summer. The Karageorgwitch dynasty carries peubtieea the people of Kansas City are overjoyed to think that they were bright enough to build their city an « few hillr.

Every drop of blood in the body passes through and is filtered by healthy kidneys every three minutes. Sound StefE8 strain out t^xc hnpurities from the blood, diseased kidneys do not, hence you are sick. FOLEY’S KIDNEY CURE makes the kidneys well so they will eliminate the prisons from the blood. It removes the cause of the many diseases resulting from disordered kidneys which have allowed your whole system to become poisoned. Rheumatism, Bad Blood, Gout, Gravel, Dropsy, Inflammation of the Bladder, Diabetes and Bright’s Disease, and many others, are all due to disordered Kidneys. A simple test for Kidney disease is to set aside your urine in a bottle or glass for twenty-four hours. If there is a sediment or a cloudy appearance, it indicates that your kidneys are diseased, and unless something is done they become more and more affected until Bright's Disease or Diabetes develops. FOLEY’S KIDNEY CURE is the only preparation which will positively cure all forms of Kidney and Bladder troubles, and cure you permanently. It Is a safe remedy and certain in results. Mr. G. A. Still son. a merchant of Tampico, III., writes: “FOLEY’S KIDNEY CURE is meeting with wonderful succeM. It has cured some cases here that physician* pronounced incurable. I myself am able to testify to its merit*. My face today is * Kring picture of health and FOLEY'S KIDNEY CURE has made it such.” Edward Hum, a well known business man of Salisbury,Mo., writes: •‘I wish to say for the benefit of others, tbai 1 was a sufferer from lumbago and kidney trouble, and all the remedies I took gave me no relief.

Th* encampment concluded its buj.faess Tli uraday afternoon and by 9 o'clock few of the visitors remained. At the morn­ ing session there was a large attendance, nearly every delegate answering the roll call. A fight was on for the office of de­ partment commander and each of the candidates' were early marshalling their forces. D. B. K. VanRaalte of Holland was the successful aspirant, two ballots being necessary for the . choice. Gen. Pritchard of Allegan and Maj. G. H. Hopkins withdrew from the race after the first ballot, the latter "throwing .bit vote for VanRaalte. Judge Stcjdien A. Aldrich was ths unanimous choice for senior rice depart­ ment commander, having no opposition. The other officers elected are as follows: Junior vice department commander, Ed­ ward 8. Jameson, Marins City; depart­ ment chaplain, Rev. William Putnam, Lansing; medical director. Dr. W. W. Boot, Mason. The reports of ths several standing coufmlttces were received and all were adopted, with the exception of the recom­ mendation of Department Commander Anthony advocating the adminion of pri­ vate citizens as members. Action on nn appropriation for a State soldiers’ and sailors’ monument at Lansing was de­ ferred until next year. It being the pur­ pose of the G. A. R. to ask the help of the Legislature in that movement. Battle Creek was unanimously select­ ed as the place for the holding of next encampment in June, 1904. Officers were elected at tbe meetings of the W. R. C.. Sons of Veterans and the Ladies of the G. A. R. The three organizations will nx?et in Battle Creek next year in conjunction with the G. A. R. The Sons of Veterans elected the fol­ lowing: Jerome E. Turner, Muskegon, department commander; H. A. Lerock. Dimondale, senior vice commander; J. O. Duryea, Hopkins Station, junior com­ mander; chaplain, B. L. Snook Hadley; surgeon. Dr. Dove, Muskegon; inspec­ tor, Roy Watkins, Rockford; judge advo­ cate, Carl Wagner,'Port Huron.

Saturday afternoon she received a note asking her to meet the writer at a certain point near her home on her return from downtown Sat­ urday night Miss Himberg kept the appointment, although it was miduight when she returned. At the appointed place she was seized from behind by one person while her enemy rained upon her face and shoulders a shower of blows with a knotted rope, soaked in carbolic acid. Not content with mauling Miss Himberg within an inch of her life, her enemy tore from her victim’s shoulders and breast her clothing and again ^ound•d her unmercifully until *he was un­ conscious. Miss Himbers was left ly­ ing on the ground, Where a passerby found and took her home. Mita Himberg asserts firmly that she does not know her assailant. Nick Thompson of Portage Entry con­ fessed to the killing of his wife while being examined as to his sanity by Judge Gray at Houghton. While the story told by Thompson is somewhat incoherent, tbe authorities believe it. Five years ago Thompson's wife was drowned at Portage Entry under suspicious circum­ stances, though a verdict of accidental drowning was brought in by the coroner’s Jury. Thompson in his confession says he drowned his wife because she contin­ ually nagged him, and life with har was a burden. He pushed her off the dock one night while they were out boating. The case will be submitted to Prosecut­ ing Attorney Larson. Thompson wrote notes to Sheriff Wills asking for a chance to make a confession and was arrested on the charge of insanity. “See here, youn< man.” said the min­ ister, “you never paid me that fee for marrying you.” •■You’re mighty lucky I haven’t sued Kata— Is there much difference la Her father get* a *sl- vllte Journal. . Th# cepioua and widespread rains Which have recently prevailed over a large section of. the Eastern and.

Tbe absence sf the usual spring nilw^ul the prolonged drouth, extending dYeraT period of more'than fifty days, had rendered the forests peculiarly sus­ ceptible to fire.

Oucc started, these fire* were almoat faIHMWible of ertinguiahment. From the dead timber and the dried-up swamps the flames communicated to thty living forest aad giant frees and marketable lumber alike fell a prey to the flames. Never in the history of tbe eastern and northern forests has there been such destruction. In a score of places in the Aiirondncks fires broke out und thouBgnds of acres were burned over, hotels UDd camps in some instances being con­ sumed. In tiirso fires not only the tim­ ber b> burned, but the very soil Itself, consisting of tbe accumulated vegetable nu.'ter of centuries, was consumed to the rocks, leaving vast tracts of barren, hope­ less territory which must forever remajn a<desert. In Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Long Island, New Brunswick and else­ where the tires raged. At one time there was an almost continuous chain of fires from one side of Maine to Jhe other. The loss ia beyond computation. It will mount into the millions of dollars. The losers are individuate who have lost property, ranging from a few hundred dollars to hundreds of thousands; great lumber an<J paper manufacturing corpo­ rations; club men and .millionaires who owned great train* for pleasure purposes, and even the State itself which possesses extensive r»-.«-rvcs. During the parched period many thou­ sands 'of men have been employed in an effort to extinguish the flames or at least hold them in chrek.

In the more Optra territories, where vil­ lages and farm bnitdings were threatened the plow was resorted to and rows of furrows/nrned up in the face of the ad­ vancing ' fire. • The work is- a difficult and unpleasant one, owing to the heat nnd smdke. but the men received liberal wages and in many, instances were on duty every min­ ute for weeks except for the time neces­ sary for sleeping and eating.

The crop report issued by the weather bureau says the week ending June 15 was abnormally c- ol in nearly all districts east of the Rocky Mountaitia, the mini­ mum temiwratures from the 10th to ths 13th throughout the central valley* and Southern States being the lowest of rec­ ord for the second decade of June, nnd heavy frosts were of general occurrence iu the upper Missouri valley, with light frosts ns far aouthfeM Tennessee. Under these conditions the growth of vegetation has been slow, but with a very general absence of rain or light local showers in the central volleys much needed cultiva­ tion has made favorable progress. The long continued und disastrous drought in New England and the ^northern portion of tbe middle Atlantic States has been wholly relieved, being mt'cceeded in some sections.by fl»»od conditions, aud the wide­ spread forest fires in these districts extin­ guished. Generally favorable conditions prevailed on the Pacific coast. While planting, replanting and cultiva­ tion of corn in the central valleys has been vigorously pushed, considerable planting remains unfinished in the north­ ern districts. Corn is unusually late end has lQ0.de rery ,slow growth under the low temperature* of the past week. In these middle and south Atlantic State* the crop is much in need of cultivation and in the Southern States is largely laid by. Spring wheat is in generally thrifty condition, but needs rain In portions of the Dakotas. Over the southern portion of the spring wheat region the condition of the crop is very promising. Oat* hnvo made favorable advancement in tbe low­ er Missouri and upi>er Mississippi val­ ley*. but need rain in the Dakotas. In Michigan the crop is backward and un­ even. and white nn improvement is indi­ cated in the Ohio valley a light yield is promised in Indiana and Pennsylvania.

QUESTIONS? -------- - —-----------Ot conne Uwj do. The advocate* of irrigation are point­ ing to tho Mississippi river flood as an argument in favor of their scheme for tbe construction of storage rcservolra and orner irrigation work* in ths Wuut«® ButM. They admit that it may well be .questioned whether iu a hundred years the. government could build reservoirs with snfficirut capacity to appreciably mitigate the evil caused by the rise of the Mississippi at St. Ix>ui* to over seven feet shove the danger line. They say, however, the situation would be reme­ died considerably.’ “A feature of chia flood storage, which may not be gener­ ally understood, but which would un­ doubtedly accomplbh the desired result, may be - termed a ’secondary storage.’ ” aald one of the leading Irrigation enthu­ siasts tbe other day. "Tbe water stor­ age proposition applied to the Missouri and iu great tributaries involves the question of the irrigation of the vast arid domain through which these rivers flow. If irrigation storage reservoir* were conBtructed on . these reservoirs it is ■ esti­ mated that os much a* 33,0011,000 acses of present desert land would be reclaim­ ed. The principal season of growing crops for this area would bo Ad>ri!, May, Juno. July and ,Augu«t and the reason that rite lands are not irrigated at pres­ ent b that while there ia plenty of water in the first three months, during July and August, when water is absolutely neces­ sary to mature ths crops, these Btreams are reduced to mere threads. If the storage reservoirs were built they would supply water for thia land during July and August, during the three preceding months the water for this great area of land would be drawn directly from the streams themselves.” Tbe number of immigrants arriving in this country continues to increase. Staibtics for the twelve months ending April 30 last, the returns for May not haring yet •been compiled, show that the immi­ grant* arriving numbered 503,272. t They were divided os follows: From Austria-Hungary 189.780 From Italy 227.403 From Russian empire128.482 From German empire...30,920 From United Kingdom59,850 From all other countries.’160.702 During this period 74.530 Hebrews ar­ rived, about 41 per cent of whom came from Russia. 25 per cent from AustriaHungary, 10 per cent from Roumanla, 12 per cent from Germany and 12 per cent from all other countries. It I* be­ lieved by officiate of the bureau of immi­ gration that it will be shown that the aumber of aliens who arrived in May waa close to 75,000. In the past a larger number of immigrants bare entered the United Bute*, in the month of May than at any other time of the year. The fiscal year 1882 holds the record for tbe num­ ber of immigrants landing. In that year 778,000 were brought over. Owing to the enormous Increase In Immigration this year, however, the department official* believe that the record made in 1882 will be surpassed nnd that by July 1 not fewer than 850,000 aliens will have been admitted to this country.

Willow cr**k, which Is given as' th^ cause of lb* disaster, is ordinarily a small stream nnd early reports indicate the flood was caused by either one or two cloudbursts. It Is said th® waterspout descended on the town shortly after <> o’clock Sunday evening.

Nows of tbe disaster came to 'Portland from lone and Arlington, which had tel­ ephone communication with Heppner.

Morrissey and Company of Bohe­ mians at the opera house were well repaid for their bravery. The show was of a different nature than the usual run of entertainments yet it was a good one and those who did not go missed a treat. Every member of the company is an artist of no small ability. Alfred Tyrrell delighted the audience with songs and character jketebes; Miss Louise Lothridge gave an amusing sketch "An April shower, or where is Reggy?” that took. John F. Morrissey’s interpretation of the chariot race of Ben Hur was very entertaining. Miss Maude MudgeKurtz, who is well known to Nashville audiences sang two beautiful solos in her usual polished style. The enter­ tainment was closed with a pretty farce, "My Lady, the cook.” which brought out the ability of the companv. Should they conclude to return to Nashville they would undoubtedly be greeted with a large house. DOIN’S OF THE COUNCIL. The saloon skeleton has received its full share of attention from the council this week. Monday night it was token down from the hook upon which it was hung at the last preceding meeting and dusted out for another airing. The august gentlemen were not very tender with it this time, giv­ ing it a shaking that made its dry bones rattle.. Last week 3. D. Crumb sold out his saloon to Geo. W. McWha and R. C. Wilson of Grand Rapids, who took possession Friday and started in to do business. The council heard of the deal and not being presented with the usual bond necessary for the safe dis­ pensation of "booze” proceeded to in­ vestigate.

Ever notice how easy it is for news­ papers in other-towns to publish "inter­ views” with citizens of neighboring villages?

At the close of the business session a short musical pro­ gram was given in honor of Mrs. Mary Phillips, who is serving her third term as chaplain of the hive. The commander,* in behalf of the officers and members, presented Mrs. Phillips with a beautiful book, after which elegant refreshments were served. Dr. Claude Hildreth has decided to locate at Muskegon in the practice of dentistry instead of Nashville, as first intended. He has bought the old estab­ lished business of Dr. B. J.

Claude starts today to take possession of the business, and carries with him the best wishes of boats of friends from this city and country.—Charlotte Leader. The Michigan legislature has made an appropriation to be expended on the preparation and publication of the military record of every man who served in a Michigan regiment and every man who was a resident of Mich­ igan when he enlisted and served in some other state organization during the civil war. In order to collect the necessary data for such a record an appeal has been mode to the several Grand Army posts of the state to collect the decessary information. We know a certain house in this town whose owner has provided a dish in his yard, which he keeps filled with water for the benefit of the birds, and many times a day it is resorted to by all varieties of birds for drinking and bathing. He has enumerated as many as twelve distinct species of birds which are patrons of his “bath house." On une occasion recently when the dish was empty a robin flew into the open kitehen door in search of water. This Is certainly better than driving the birds away with guns and stones. During the past two weeks there have been many sensational deyelopmente in the investigation of the af­ fairs of the postoffiee department, and enough has transpired to Indicate that the administration is in earnest and determined to probe the matter to the bottom. The grand jury returned an indictment against A. W. Machen, former superintendent of the free de­ livery service. The specific charge is conspiracy to defraud the government in connection with contracts for the Groff fasteners for mail boxes. The statute on which the indictment is based provides a penalty of *10,000 or two years’ imprisonment, or both, in the discretion of the court. �BIG BUILDING BOOM, Tl;rNrwS HASH VI LEE.

Seeing the burning car and kuowing what it contained, the engi­ neer coolly stopped his train, had a brakeman cut the train off behind the powder and then ran ahead with the burning car, leaving It at a safe distance from the rest of the train. He had bare­ ly time to escape with his engine before the explosion. Only slight damage wm done to train or track, but the car was blown to splinters.

Thia plan has been tried in various ways qlmost every year, aud nearly always with ouccere.

W. H. Boulden, of Farber, “beginning tbe 1st of last May, and by the 1st of this month *we had sold 2.190 gal­ lons of milk and 1.439 pounds of but­ ter. We got 25 cents a pound for all the butter and 10 cents a gallon for th^mllk. Charlie Davault is always bragging about bow much the Audrain women sell, but 1 don't think any of them can beat that on milk and but­ ter.” Probably not. Mr*.

There will be no ppeachlng at the Baptist chapel next Sunday. . Mrs. Marlon Swift, living north of town, was taken to the asylum at Kal­ amazoo Tuesday by Deputy Sheriff Brooks accompanied by Mrs. Brooks. Mrs. Swift gave birth some time ago to a baby since which time her mind has been affected. It is thought she can be cured. Dr. Leroy F. Weaver of Charlotte has been having a serious time with blood poisoning. He injured his left hand some time ago while performing an operation. He was taken to De­ troit and placed in a hospital but is again out and so far recovered that no fears o’ further danger are enter­ tained. ________ The Baptist Sunday school was gi»en a treat last Sunday when Mrs. W. H, Young gave a talk on her trav­ els in the old world, which was not only interesting to the younger ones but was highly enjoyed by all. She dwelt particularly on Rome aud brought vividly to her hearers’ minds not only the present Rome but the Rome of Paul's time. Owing to the failure of manufac­ turers to get material here on time work has been discontinued on the Evan­ gelical church.

Work will be continued as soon as possible Farmers who have put in a big crop of potatoes tais year are likely to be fortunate. Prices are nearly twice as high as a year ago in some parts of the country. In Oklahoma the crop-de­ stroying press agent had the crop about destroyed by high water, but it appears that the yield will be except­ ionally large, and that the price will stand close u> 80 cents per bushel.

On a little knoll overlooking Wound■ed Kuer battlefluid. on the Pine Ridge agency, ju South Dakota, 5.000 Sioux _______________ I Hid J a n * recently <o drflcate a monument recently erected to the memory of their dead who fell at that place Dec. 29. 1900. Following the example of the whites who called the battle of the Little Big Horn the the Sioux have call­ ed -the battle of Wounded Knee tbe "Big Foot maiMacre." becauae Big Foot was the chief under whom they fought In that last TKK MOXUMT.5T? an<i mMt disastrous effort of the Indians to resist the march of clv'.l^mtlon. Many of those -warriors who rode In tbe whirlwind of •death which engulfed Custer's men at the Little Big Horn went to their ■death at Wounded Knee, and this mon­ ument is to their memory. The cele­ bration was tfieJ first of its kiqjl ob­ served by lhe Indians of this country and marks the progress which civiliza­ tion Is making among them. Tbe Wounded knee fight was the last great stand of tbe red race against the white and wa* caused through the agency of Sitting BulL who was to the northern Indians what Geronimo was to the southwestern tribes. He aroused their patriotism to tbe fighting spirit, and fa addition he anointed each brave. with •’medicine,” which be claimed made them Invulnerable to bullets from the white man's pistol. And ev•ery Indian thoroughly believed this. • To accomplish his purfxMe. Sitting Bull originated the "ghost, or Meaxlnh, dance," which soon sjiread through the Sioux nation like tire over the western prairie: This dance wns only a preliminary to being anointed with the •“medicine" and was a mixture of the •war and aqpnw dance, except that the■dancera circled around a tall pole on which was" hung a skin containing the medicine. Tbe eyes of the dancer* were continually fixed ou this spot, their eyes thrown upward. It la said the •dancers, in time, became actually hypnotlze.1 nnd fell on the ground in u -cataleptic fit. While in this state they bad visions of what wa* to happen to the white men who opposed rhe Indian when anointed with the “medldne.” Three vision* were all alike. Buffaloes would return; white men be all killed, the Great Sprlit had informed them that the white map's bullet could nut WJure them any more; and. above all. that Sitting Bull must be obeyed luiplfcitly. Freparlnrr for War. After the Indians bad danced all dur­ ing tbe fall of 1890, about 80 per cent •of the .entire SiouX tribe beeiime firm followers of%Sitting Bull; had Inter­ ' -viewed the Grout Spirit and had been anointed wl;h "medicine" by their high priest or medicine man. When the Indians got into the con­ dition that Sitting Bull could be sure his ejery order would be obeyed, the “ghost" dancing ceased and prepara­ tions for war began. Then it was that the commanding officer of the United States troops nt Fort Yates was order­ ed to arrest old Sitting Bull and con­ fine him in prisoir at the' agency of Standing Rock for the time being. Sitting Bull was camped forty miles away from the agency, but a squad of fifty cavalrymen started after the old Indian early on Dec. 15. The Indian police, commanded by Bull Head and Shave Head, were within striking distance of Sitting Bull’s camp wveral days before the <avalry took leave 6f the fort Sitting Bull's cabin was almost sur­ rounded by the fanatical "ghosl danc­ ers." but the Indian police managed to reach the house aud arrest the old fel­ low. Sitting Bull's young son slipped from the house nnd aroused tbe "gboat dancers.” who soon swarmed around the little party of poller-. After tbe police mounted their horses to return with Sitting Bull, that old -warrior called upon hi* follower* to rescue him. and Btrike-tbe-Kettle and -Catcb-the-Bear daxhtd up at full speed to' the two police who guarded the prisoner; and shot them. Both guard* -were killed, but In failing Bull Head, a guard, wheeled, and instead of trhoot_ tng his assailant, shot Sitting Bull Tbe police then took refuge in Sit­ ting Bull's cabin, which was Immedi­ ately surrounded by hundred• of yelliDg, frrutic Indiana. Tbe soldiers came .up at that moment and tbe ghost dancers fled to the timber, half a mile away. An hour later an incident happened ■which showed the sublime faith his followers had in Sitting Bull, apd •which had a great bearing upon the future of the Indians and led directly to the battle fought two weeks later by the ghost dancers at Wounded •commemorate*. While the troopers were preparing to return to the fort, carrying the dead body of Sitting Bull with them, an In­ dian riding at full speed emerged from the woods into which they had gone when the soldiers appeared.

Two weeks later this t same Indian started the fight at ! Wounded Knee by braining Captain , Wallace in the presence of bls entire company. ' Dec. 28 the Indians were camped on Wounded Knee creek, waiting for a conference the following day with * *Gen. Forsythe, commanding the troops. During the day the scouts Little Bat 1 1and Lone Star had been among the Sioux I ml Ians, led by Big Foot, and f had learned the'serious condition of af­ 1 1fairs. The foitowitig morning they re­ Iported to Gen. Forsythe that the In­ 1dians would probably rw»i«rt unless an overwhelming force of soldiers was 1 brought up. Forsythe did not agree with the scout and continued to ad­ vance. But Capt. Wallace, who believed the report of the scout, together with “Lit­ tle Bat” and “Lone Star," rode ahead of the troops, in order to pacify the Indians. The three men drew In close to the troops of savages which had advanced to meet them, nnd then "Lone Star” recognized the daring warrior who had tried bls medicine two weeks before that day. He. together with several other Indians, loft the main body and advanced toward Capt. Wallace. Suddenly, from within the crowd, arose the shrill death song of the Sioux. Both the scouts now saw the deadly danger in which all three stood, but Capt. Wallace did not understand, nnd t>efore he could be warned, held out his bund to greet the advancing From their positions, neither of the scouts could fire and Capt. Wallace walked toward bls death, oblivious of the terrible fate awaiting him. The singing Indian grasped CapL Wallace’s outstretched hand, and sud­ denly drawing his other hand from be­ neath his blanket, struck the brave captain a terrible blow with a toma­ hawk, killing him instantly. But the medicine shirt failed to pro­ tect the Indian from the bullet which left the pistol of "Lone Star" r* mo­ ment later, and the aavage fell dead with a bullet through bls heart. few hundred feet. (The Indians still call this “Bloody Gulch.’’) The soldlera that day lost Capt. Wal­ lace and twenty-four men killed and thirty-four wounded. But under the «i>ot on which the In­ dian monument rents are the bones of more than two hundred and fifty Indi­ ans who were killed that day, and for many months it was nothing uncom­ mon to discover the bleached skeleton of an Indian lying In the grass any­ where In the neighborhood of the bat­ tlefield. The exjfct number of killed was never known. "LUXURIES'* ON BATTUESHIPS. Vnaeceaaarr Articles. Rear Admiral Bowles, chief of the Bureau of Construction, has made a calculation based on Investigations made by officers of his bureau of the weight of "luxuries” carried on a bat­ tleship of recent construction. In the preparation of plans and designs for war vessels there Is almost a constant contention betwen th* several bureaus In regard to the weights that should be carried, each branch contending for the installation of machinery and de­ vices deemed essential. These contro­ versies are usually settled by a com­ promise. in which something Is yielded by each, but the result is often unsat­ isfactory. and' not, Infrequently has proved detrimental to the efficiency of the vessel. At a recent meeting of the Board of Construction Admiral Bowles declared that on each battleship there were 350 tons of luxuries, a statement which startled the members of the board. Included In these so-called luxuries are materials, of every description that cannot be classified as necessities, such as furtdture, lee machines, refrigera­ tors. radiators aud the machinery re­ quired for them. It Is pointed out that flagships are supplied with two bathrooms and ap­ purtenances for the flag officer, while one bath tub is deemed sufficient for the ward room, iu which fifteen or twenty officers live. There will be un­ doubtedly a protracted discussion as to what constitutes luxuries, but offi­ cers generaly believe'that much of the weights which Admiral Bowles de- : scribed might be abolished and the ■ space given to what may be called ne­ cessities. There will be little discussion outside of the flag rank as to the necessity for two bath tubs In the elogaut and spa­ cious quarters set apart for the ad­ miral. The additional bath is provided for the guest of the admiral in case he should have one. which seldom hap­ pens.—New York Time*. Blue Stocking*. The term "blue stockings.” as ap­ plied tg women with literary tenden­ cies. is not now considered either ele­ gant or appropriate, although as first tised there was some warrant for its employment. Its origin is traced to the day* of Samuel Johnson, and was applied then as now to women who cultivated teemed conversations and found enjoyment in the discussion of questions which had been monopolized by men. About 1730 It became quite the thing for ladles to form evening assemblies, when they might partic­ ipate in talk with literary and Ingeni­ ous men. One of the best known and most popular members of one of these assemblies was said to have been a Mr. Stillingfleet, who always wore blue stocking*. and when at any time be happened to be absent from these gatherings it was usually remarked that “we can do aothlxjg without blue stockings,” and by degrees the term •’blue stockings" wa* applied to all gatherings of a literary nature, and eventually to the ladles who attended the meetings. The two scouts backed away, firing as they went, and in turn received the fire of the entire band. Both escaped without a scratch. But not so the In­ dians. A number were killed by the scouts before ^he soldiers got into ac­ tion. The Indians broke for cover am succeeded In reaching a ravine from which the soldiers could not drive them. • Gen. Forsythe wrote an order tor retBforcvments and handed R to Lone Star, who rode the fourteen miles to the agency in thirty-flve minutes. Ln 1 hour and 28 minutes the re-cnforcemesjta dashed up. the soldiers having left too hurriedly to place saddles on their house*. But they had brought the gatllng guns with them. Three were new to the Indiana, who did not understand the rapid fire. Three of these were placed tn position to rake the ravine, When a woman has poor luck with and the slaughter began.

He then attacked Mrs. Sherman Roecoe, sistergn-law of Miss Roscoe, with a hammer, crushing her skull and inflicting fatal injuries. Worden then shot himself, but may re­ cover. The tragedy occurred at the Ros­ coe home on a farm near Carmel, N. Y.. where Worden and Miss Roscoe were visitors. The cause assigned for Wor­ den’s "acts is that he wns insanely jeal­ ous of Miss Roscoe and killed her in a rage because she declined to marry him. His attack on Mrs. Roscoe is thought to have been due to Worden’s belief that she bad Influenced her slitter’s action in refusing him.

This is not the fact as we had been released from quarantine, or rather detention as we were not quarantined at any time, about a week before Miss Wood went home. We got our doctor’s certificate and sent the boys to school on a Monday and Miss Wood left our house the following Sunday and went home the next day at noon, instead of after dark as some papers had it.” �T^e3irw^.

Sound 9t™ln °ut,t*1* impurities from the blood, diseased kidneys do not, hence you are sick. FOLEY'S KIDNEY LURE makes the kidneys well so they will eliminate the poisons from the blood. It removes the cause of the many diseases resulting from disordered kidneys which have allowed your whole system to become poisoned. Rheumatism, Bad Blood, Gout, Gravel, Dropsy, Inflammation of the Bladder, Diabetes and Bright’s Disease and many others, are ail due to disordered Kidneys. A simple test for Kidney disease is to set aside ybur urine’ in a bottle or glass for twenty-four hours. If there is a sediment or a cloudy appearance, it indicates that your kidneys are diseased, and unless something is done they become more and more aflected until Bright's Disease or Diabetes develops. • SIDNEY CURE is tbe only preparation which will positively cure all foims of Kidney and Bladder troubles, and cure you permanently.

The use of sweat pads under some circumstances may be justified, espe­ cially whin horse* have started work In the spring In good form and are re­ duced In flesh during the summer. One of the principal objections to the sweat pad Is that It tends to become soggy, und.cons?«|uently increases the friction l>etwe«i the surface of tbe pad and the shoulder. It sometimes happens that by the use of the pad one can fit a col­ lar that could otherwise not be worn. In thia ftwtauee the price of a collar may l>e saved. By the use of the pad the draft Is often thrown on the outer edge of the shoulders. while It should be as close tn as possible. When an animal gets a sore spot on some part of his shoulder It is sometimes possible to cut a hole tn the pad and thus reHejw the pressure on this place, until It becomes hfaltd. The main thing is to have a collar fit tbe shoulder well. Where thia Is the case there is seldom any danger of Irritation, providing the hemes are properly., fitted, to the collar and pulled up tightly, each time they are put on. It never pays to work away with a collar that does not fit. because an animal that constantly ex­ periences pain through ill-fitting "har­ ness cannot do the same amount of work, nor do It as willingly, as would be the case If nil parts of the harness are adjusted to Its form.—Iowa Home­ stead • .

Durbin of Indiana, upon learning that Judge Resell had ordered the negro Loe Brufrn brought back to Evansville for immediate trial, wired Judge Rasch that he would not allow the prisoner to be taken from the Stale Institution at this time. He doubted if a fair trial eoul<i be secured at this time and under the conditions it would be too dangerous for the prisoner to be taken to Evans­ ville. , Judge Rasch. Immediately on receipt of the Governor’s order. wired Sheriff Kratz to return without the prisoner. He said the trial would be indefinitely postponed. In his telegram to Judge Rasch. Gov. Durbin says: “I decline to sanction an arrartgement whereby tbe negro Lee Brown is to be immediately tried at Evansville under the military forces of the State.

A Prussian officer stationed at Strasburg appeared before the court at Kolmar, in Saxony, nnd gave tbe following evidence in support of his demand to be divorced from his wife, says a London paper: "One night,” he said, “I had a quar­ rel with my wife.'-in the course of which she exclaimed: ‘You are too much of a coward to strike me!’ What could I, as a Prussian officer, do when my wife accused me of cow­ ardice? If the wife of another offi­ cer had thus insulted me, I could at least have challenged her husband to a duel, but 1 could not challenge myself, because my own wife insulted me. . “I got,” continued the officer, /into । a state of intense excitement over this terrible dilemma. I lit the can­ dle nnd requested my wife formallyl three times to withdraw the insult-1 ing expression, which was incompati­ ble with my dignity and honor ns a Prussian officer. My wife sulked, nnd did not withdraw; the insult. As it was my duty to entorce satisfaction for the Insult I seized a stick nnd beat -my wife.” Tbe trial was adjourned. Queer C*u»t ef Strike. More than a thousand Pennsylvania miners “struck" the other day to de­ cide the question whether or not a bridle is part of a mule's harness. The trouble rose from the refusal of the stablemen to .put on the bridles. Re­ ferees recommended that the mules be driven without bridles, and their suggestion was adopted. Then the men came back. The mules have passed a vote of thanks. ■ '-------- -------------------No Pity Shown. "For years fate was after me contin­ uously” writes F. A.

Burglars did a small business in the village Sunday night and have so far eluded arrest. The postofflee was entered and about thirty cents in pennies taken. H. Roe A Son’s meat market was relieved of somewhere betweee eight and ten dollars and Frank McDerby's stores were entered but as far as could be ascertained nothing was taken. Greene A Flewelling’s clothing store was also entered and it was at first supposed that nothing but about thirty pennies was secured but Tuesday evening one of the firm was waiting on a customer and wish­ ing to show 'him a coat which* had recently been made for Frank Brattin, went to get it, and the garment was missing and it dawned upon them at once that tbe robber bad .taken it. Entrance to the places was made by means of skeleton keys and the doors of the places were all found open Monday morning. The. matter was taken up by Deputy Sheriff Brooks, who has been working hard on’n since, but without success. The fact that the burglar was a smooth one and left not tbe slightest clue makes it a difficult case and it is doubtful whether he will ever be captured. A search-warrant was issued Mon­ day for the old Union bouse but no evidence was thus secured. The warrant wac issued on tbe grounds that parties living there were known to possess a key that would unlock the doors of the places entered, and while it might have been the key that was used nothing to prove it could be gathered as there may be many skele­ ton keys that would unlock the doors. However, Mr. Brooks is still working on the c^se and it Is to be hoped that he will round the burglar or burglars up in a short time. SAM CRUMB IN TROUBLE. On a warrant sworn but by Geo. McWha, S. D.

It is hard not to gossip, and some kinds are justifiable. Gossip in the ssnse of talking about our fellow-be­ ings may be most kindly aad friendly: it may do good by helping break down prejudice, by bringing to light unseen good points, but gossip in its most common • ense can never be a good thing even though it may not always be bad. It is so easy to say little sluring things, they’re out before you know it; it's so easy to repeat a float­ ing.remark. Often they are harmless but are they, at their highest, the least bit of use? Don’t it seem that we often belittle ourselves bv the personalities j in which we indulge? Even while we do it we know it is narrowing and are rather aanamed.” Apropos of the item in The News a few weeks ago regarding a pair of shoes owned'by Austin Brooks, our old friend, S. J Badcock of Goodletdville, Tennessee, has this to say of a pair of boots owned by him. “I have in my possession a pair of fine boots and here is the description of them as written out and pasted on the sole of one of them. ‘Made at Pine Hill, Elba. Genesee county, New York, A. D. 1849, for 8. J Badcock by Ben­ jamin Cleveland, who has been awarded first premium at the state fair of New York for ths best pair of fine boots, hand made. Price, five dollars.' I find this recorded in my account book Nov. 23, 1849, ‘Pair of fine boots, S3.’ These boots were worn on all extra occasions, and travels to the Galena lead mines. Was married in them Jan-1, 1852. They were worn at every Sunday service one and one-half miles to the Mudge school house be­ fore I owned a team and so had to walk, for three years. And last of all my wife used to wear them in the whortleberry swamp to pick berries up until about 1865. Just before leaving my home three years ago 1 showed them to A. A. McDonald, Nashville’s shoe dealer, and be looked them over with Interest and said the legs were sewed with silk twist. The heels are still as straight, trim and nice as when made and they were never repaired at any point and ■till are in a good state of preserva­ tion. They have taken a rest since the la*t ment’onrd date.” » ' LOCAL AND PER! Special sale at Quick’s. Perfumes at C. H. Brown’s. Buy Devoe paint. None better. C. M. Early was in Detroit last, week. .

Col. Chittenden insists that the government is responsible to a large ter­ ritory for the nctx of the Missouri, a. re­ sponsibility which caimot be shifted by declining to make ■appropriations. The cost of the work, he say*, should be offbk by the full value of lands directly saved from destruction, increase in value of lands assured of protection and the cumulated value of the protected prop? erty, but lie says -the relation of first coe< to the value of property saved should not be the basis used. "It would be as reasonable,” hq say*, “to urge that a highwayman should uot be brought to trial and punished, or a civil wrong ad­ justed by the courts because tbe out­ lay to the State might be greater than the value of the property involved."

Enraged at the courts, a mob broke into. tbe Flemingsburg, Ky., ixil. a»d hanged William Thacker, a white man, who had been given a life- sentence for tlie murder of John Gordon two years ago. In a quarrel with Gordon at Fox­ port Thacker shot and killed him and then sat an the body, Winchester in hand, while he rkuoked his pipe, and dared anyone to attempt to arrest him. He escaped, but later was arrested and lodged in jail’ at Flemingsburg. He was given two trials and received a life sen­ tence.' After being sentenced Thacker appealed and was waiting for another trial. . He had money, was able to com­ mand the support of Influential meu, and •it was feared he might escape punish­ ment. The mob codllected at Mount Car­ mel, where Gordon once lived, and went iuto Flemingsburg by two* and threes in order not to arouap suspicion. The .men advanced upon' the jail shortly after midnight. The jailer refused to surren­ der the keys. He was overpowered and the keys were token from him: Thacker was hgrried to a tree near the jail and was giWn time In which to soy bls pray­ ers, which he refused to do. but begged for his life. To bush his cries he was hit on the bead with a rock, and his «nconacious body was strung lip until life had become extinct. ENTIRE FAMILY IS POISONED.

That the man who talks the moat is not always the’ man who says the most. That the man who is most dishonest ia always accusing others of dis­ honesty. That the Christianity of some is like the old Dutch woman's yeast; it has to be “livened’’ at frequent intervals to be effective. The way to arrive at your true worth is to take the difference between what you think of yourself and what others think of you. That so many young ladies wear their sleeves rolled up above their elbows is not conclusive evidence that they just had a session with the dish pan at home. That when a man brags to you about the serenity permeating the atmos­ phere of his own home, you should not be surprised when you hear of family disturbances in his home. That the young American who con­ ceived the trick of placing liquid glue on the church steps ha* enjoyed a great deal of fun on its account if it has been discomfiting to “spooners.” That the method taken by a girl in a neighboring town to commit suicide by eating two gallons of ice cream was unprolific of tbe result shb sought. Usually young girl* are not suscep­ tible to danger from consuming any amount of this delicious stuff. That at this time of the year when the sweet girl graduate leaves school, full of hope, ambition, book learning, and baccalaureate sermons, if ber mamma will take hold with a right good will and teach her to cook, sew, sweep and peel potatoes she will begin to learn something worth while.

We happened in a home the other night, and over the parior door saw the legetid worked in letters of red "What I* home without a mother?” Across the room was another brief, “God ble-rs oLr home.” Now wh'at’s the matter with “God bless our dad?” He gets up earlv, bolls an egg. grabs his dinner-pail, and wipes off the dew of the dawn with hij boots while many a mother is sleeping. He makes the weekly hand-out for the butcher, the grocer, the mill-man and baker, and his little pile is badly worn before he has been home an hour. He stands off the bailiff and keeps the rent up. If there is a noise during . the night dad is kicked in the back and made to go down stairs to find the burglar and kill him. Mother darns the socks, but dad buys the socks in the first place and the needles and yarn afterwards. Mother does up the fruit; well, butdad buys It all, and jars and sugar costs like the mischief. *■ Dad buys tbechicken for the Sunday dinner, carves it himself and draws the neck from the ruins after every one else i* served. “What is home without n mother? ’ Yes, that is all right; but “What is home without a father?” Ten chances to one it is a boarding­ house, fathet* is under a slab, and the landlady is a widow.

On Monday night, July G. he sank no low that his physicians thought he. was dying. He then received extreme unc­ tion. the last rite of the church, for the dying. The following Saturday and pgain Sunday he heard mat* read. Thus bravely lighting to prolong his life of usefulness on earth and serenely awaiting the summons that should call him to .eternity. Pope Ix?o XIII. sank peacefully into his long re«t. Notwithstanding his physical suffer­ ings the Pope’s mind remained active and brilliant almost to rhe test. He appoint­ ed -Mgr.

Thus with his eyes looking into the. face of death he inter­ ested himself in guarding against any confusion consequent upon his passing away. Tbe Pope had no fear of tbe final dis­ solution. He spoke of life and death with equal serenity. “1 am ready to de­ part," be said to a relative. Count Peeci. "haring settled all my affaire. I fee!

During the thirty-two years of his administration there he built thir­ ty-fix churches and restored and enlarged many others. In 1853 he was made a cardinal*by Pope Pius IX. and in 1878 he succeeded that pontiff as the ruling head of the Catholic Church, taking the name of Leo, after Pope Leo XII., for whom he had a great veneration. The condition of the affairs of the church at the time was for from satis­ factory. In Italy there existed a rupture between the Vatican and the government of unified Italy, while there was hardly a single European power with which the Holy See was on anything like friendly terms. Many people in Italy- thought that tho new pontiff would modify tho policy qf Pius IX. .and effect a reconcil­ iation with ,the Quirinak and thus hia election was favorably received by all parties, as all parties then wished to see an end to the war between church and state. But. Leo XIII. doomed them to disappointment. In his first encyclical he adhered to the policy of bis predeces­ sor. and such was bis course until the end. Several time* during his reign and as a result of the rupture between the Vatican nnd Quirinal Leo was almost constrained to remove the papal neat from Rome- but before final action was taken other counsels prevailed, and the official scat of the Catholic Church still remains in the Eternal City. Friend of Working Claaaea. Throughout his entire life, but more especially during his pontifical adminis­ tration.

ICE STORM IN CHICAGO. Terrific Fall of Hail Canaes Damage Throughout the City. The most terrific hail storm that has visited Chicago in years descended on the city nt noon Tuesday and hurled great, jagged chunks of Ice upon tiie streets and buildings for nearly a quar­ ter of an hour. Korves. driven frantic by terror and pain caused by the stones, ran away. Windows were shattered. Foliage in the parks and oa the boule­ vards was destroyed. Many persons were bruised and battered by,_ihe chunks of lee. Home of the stoin-i* were over an inch in diameter. The downfall was heralded by a brisk gale which blew up shortly before noon and covered the sky with gray cloud*. Out of these there came first heavy sheet* of rain, which served m a warn­ ing. Then, in slanting streams, the hail­ stone* shot down, pounding against win­ dows and on the streets in a terrific din. First the storm was only an ordinary one, with the drops of hail small and white. Soon, however, these increased to a formidable Hixe, with a formation of sharp, jagged poinca, flat nnd circular. Like a battery of canuistcr they descend­ ed. wreaking havoc to windows, arc lights, tree* and foliage. Tbe storm was purely local, the weath­ er man said, and had nothing to do with that which occurred in Minnesota and lown the day previous. IMMIGRATION RECORDS BROKEN. General View of the Vatican.

Through the Upper Peninsula and Into Canada with the Mich­ igan Press Association. each, gaily decorated, took us for a most enjoyable tour of Menominee and of Marinette, Wisconsin, which lies fust across the river from Me­ nominee, and is another good town. We stopped for an hour at Lakeside park add enjoyed the scenery and beauties of the park, while many danced to the excellent music of the band, which we took with us on the trip. At six-thirty the party was ban­ queted at Lei sen A Hene’s ball by tbe citizens of the town, the Presbyterian ladies serving as dainty a banquet and as nicely served as we ever sat down to. One of the most appreciated delicacies was mammoth strawberries, of tho very finest flavor, which were grown within the efty limits of Me­ nominee. After the banquet an hour wae devoted to short talks of welcome and felicitation, another hour to' a concert by the orchestra, and the praiee of the cordiality of the good people of Menominee. They are the salt of the earth, that’s all, and any one who is so fortunate as to live in such a community has much to be gratefui for. - Sunday at nine o'clock we gave a ■ad farewell to our Menominee friends, who had in bo short a time greatly endeared themselves to us, and took our departure for Frankfort on the magnificent car ferry Manistique, of the Ann Arbor line, which haa been generously placed at our service by General Passenger Agent Kirby, and which bad been run twelve hours off schedule in order to give un a day­ light trip across the lake. We arrived at Frankfort, after a restful voyage, in time for six o'clock dinner at that palatial summer hotel, the Royal Frontenac, a picture of which wo pre­ sent in this issue.

A train bf trolley cars was in waiting, and we were soon on our way to the polo grounds, the only one in Michigan or Wisconsin. On our way out we passed the brewery—without stopping. We found, however, upon our arrival at tbe polo grounds, that ample preparations had been made in evefy way for our com4ort and entertainment. The polo team was out and played a game of polo—the first game most of the party had ever seen—and it proved highly interesting. The game is like “shinney,” as the boys play it on the ice. only polo is played on ponies, with a long mallet on a flexible handle with which |o drive the ball, which Is of wood and about the size of a croquet ball. It is played properly with eight 'players, four on a side, and the object of each team is to drive the ball through the goal at the opposite end of the field. The game is a very spectacular one, requiring the finest of horsemanship, a quick eye and steady nerve, and absolute fearlessness. Tbe'poniea enjoyed the game seemingly as well as the players and are even quicker than their riders to follow the ball, LAfter the polo game, back down town for dinner.

Those of us who left the train at Cadillac were escorted by the band to the Hotel McKinnon, where through the gen­ erosity of the citizens of Cadillac a splendid dinner was provided. Car­ riages were also furnished for thoee who desired to drive about the city When tho time came to take trains north or south from Cadillac, we found a representative of the Grand Rapids and Indiana road, sunt up from Grand Rapids by General Passenger Agent Lockwood, ready to furnish us with free transportation over their splendid road as far as we desired to go. This kindness of the G. R. & I. was all the more greatly appreciated as it had not been re­ quested until the day before. A Cadillac wedding party took the same train south on which came about twenty-five of the editorial branch, and wc did all we could to see that iho young folks were given a jolly and pleasant start on their life's journey.

Clay served as United State* minister to Russia under President Lincoln. Born In 1810, Clay was horn Oct. 19, 1810, at White­ hall; hi* family estate, upon the banka of the Kentucky river, near the village of Richmond. This place, which extended Indians by bis father in 1706 and ks inheritance made young Clay one of the wealthiest men of his day. There are now 365 acres in the farm on :X->ch Whitehall fa situated. The general own­ ed several blocks of property in Newark, N.

His property will go to ttie children, to i>e equally divid­ ed among them. It was his only during hia lifetime and when he divorced Efcra Cloy she was given nu alimony am! therefore has no Bp* claim on the prop_ZJ;! erty. Gen. Clay left a will which gives the property, however, to the girl, but since the courts have declared that his mind was unsound tbe will cannot stand tbe test of the court*. , Upon being graduates! from Yale Clay returned to the South and liberated hia t>wn riarcs. He then entered upon his dueling career by forcing two encounters upon Dr. Declarey of Louisville, who had written a scurrilous letter to the mother of his betrothed wife. Interference pre­ vented any shots being fired and Declarey afterward conunhted suicide. The bloodiest of the veteran fighter"* affrays was that with Sam Brown, a devperado hired to kill.him. The attack took place in a political meeting and when tbe smoke of battle had cleared away Brown was lying at death's door minus a nose, an eye and nn ear and blooding from countless cuts on other parts of the body. This was the work of Clay’s bowie knife, which he used in preference to a pistol. About fifty other encounters marked the course of the general's life. Scandal* resulting from Clay’s resi­ dence in St. Petersburg during his stay in Russia caused hie first wife to get a divorce from him upon his return to this for the week and season. Wheat, including flour, exports for tbe week ending July 16 aggregate 3,652.084 bushels, against 2.380,410 last week? 3,775.222 this week last year, 6.221,880 in 1001 and 3,029,381 in 1900. For two weeks of the cereal year they aggregate 6,033,194 bushels, against 8.179.837 in 1002, 10.238,020 in 1001 and 5.859.291 in 1900.

Clay, then 84 years of age, shocked bis relatives by marrying Dora Richardson, a 15-year-old girl, whom he bad adopted. The child -was uneducated and wild, and soon ran away‘from her aged husband. In 1890 she secured a divorce with Clay’s con­ sent and married Riley Brock, a young farm hand. Clay gave her a plantation to live up­ on and furnished her home with elaborute tapestries and paintings brought from Rumiia aud Spain. Brock was killed In b railway accident and Clay asked bis former girl-wife to return to him. The old general was pronounced of unsound mind shortly before hte death and his son given control of his affairs. EXTRA SESSION TO BE BUSY.

Fred Smith, living southwest of town, brought in a handful of as nice ripe peaches Saturday as we have ever seen. They were of good size and of a very delicious flavor. The j>each crop this year will be better outside those counties which are in the “peach belt” than it has ever been before and we believe the time is coming when fanners will give more time to the raising of peaches.

A class in arithmetic was wrestling with subtraction, and the teacher was ex­ plaining that the thing subtracted must be the same kind or denomination as the thing subtracted from. She said you can not take 5 peaches from 6 ap­ ples, lemons from 6 oranges, etc., when up went a hand from a boy in tlie class. ‘ * What U it Johnnie?’ ’ and the teacher. “Please, can't you take 5 quarts of milk from six cows?” And the teacher collapsed. Cass < >versmith and son Robert, ac­ companied by James Hummel 1’s two boys.

Earl went to help him and Robert dragged him under, and Guy went to the rescue, pulling them both out. Mr. Oversmith stood there and witnessed the whole thing but supposed the boys were fooling. It makes him faint even yet when he thinks how near his son came to being drowned. Tbe boy was quite sick several hours afterward in consequence of his exper­ ience. Among the laws which came into be­ ing during the session of the legisla­ ture of 1903 is one which provides that the person who is the custodian of the money for a school district will i hereafter be known as the treasurer instead of the assessor. Another law provides that when a person elected an officer of the district ceases to be a taxpayer of the district his office is vacant and must be filled by a tax­ payer. Another law provides that any school district which maintains a school during five months of the year, having children residents therein who have finished the studies of the eighth grade in said school may at any annual meeting vote a tax sufficient to pay the tuition of said children to any high school which the school board may select and designate.

Dear Brother and all:—It is with pleasure that I drop you a few lines to let you know that I arrived here in safety and am?well and hearty. I hope you are all well. It is now ten o’clock and the boys are saddling up to go after a deer that one of the boys killed -this morning. Wo had the heart for breakfast and it was fine. It is a two-spike buck so we will have fresh meat galore. There are two men working with me whom I nave known for some timeI have let a contract to one of them and they will start work Monday, the 6th. We got here the first at noon. We are camped two .and one-half miles above Roosevelt. We went down to the city the day we got in and found things booming, everything is looking fine. Property is changing hands at a very good figure. In Boise I bought two horses, a saddle and a pack horse. I had my supplies freighted and packed and It cost me seven and onehalf cents per pound to get it In. We were eight days getting here and made good time a* tJnere wts some pack trains came in yesterday that have been on the trail*two or three weeks. There is some snow yet on the trail and com­ ing over Chilcoft Pass we crossed eight or ten feet of snow but it was hard so it did not bother us any. There was a young man lost on the Thunder Mountain road sometime ago and there were fifty men hunting for him for a week and gave him up for dead. When we came in we found him Hitting on a bridge by the side of the road asleep and when I rode on the bridge be woke up and gave a jump. Such a face I never saw before and hope I will not again. I was the first man he had seen for three weeks and he had had nothing to eat all that time and was so weak he could scarcely walk. We put him on a horse and took him to tbe road camp. They said when he left he was as fleshy as I am and now he is nothing hut skin and bones and would not weigh one hun­ dred pounds. There was a reward offered for him dead or alive of fifty dollars but we would not accept of it. The pack train with mv supplies will be in about the 5th. Tomorrow is a big day in Roosevelt, 1500 to be given away in purses. It snowed all day yesterday and there is lots of snow back on the mountains. There are some things very high here in the shape of eatables; butler 75 cents per pound, eggs 75 cents per dozen and flour $8.00 per hundred. Potatoes, there are none. George Wertz. THE NEW DEPOT. The plans are going merrily on for Nashville’s new depot and ’ere many days work will be begun. The follow­ ing letter was received by C. L. Glas­ gow, which is certainly good reading to those interested: C. L. Glasgow, Esq., Nashville, Mich. Dear Sir:—Mr. Ledyard handed me your letter to him of the 27th lust, about new location of depot at your station, Nash­ ville. We are preparing plans tor lid* and should have them ready within the next week or ten days. I will make it a point to see you or have one ot my representa­ tive* call upon you and look tbe situation over. Our architect has been very busy and preparation ot plans has been serious­ ly delayed on this account for which I am very sorry- I will give the matter Im­ mediate attention and should have no trouble in erecting the building while tbe good weather lasts. Yours truly, W. S. Kinnear. SENECA BEIGH DEAD. After several months ot suffering Seneca Beigh died at his home, south of town, Saturday night between ten and eleven o'clock. He was taken sick last April with pneumonia which developed into quick consumption, and the end had been expected for some time. He was born in Seneca county, Ohio, forty-nine years ago the 20th of last Fsburary and came to Michigan with his parents in 1863. His father, Levi Beigh, died eighteen years ago, and his mother passed away eight years ago. He leaves a wife and two children, Glenn and Bessie, one brother and six sisters. The funeral was held from the house Wednesday forenoon, Rev. F. E. Armstrong officiating. The remains were interred in Lake view cemetery. Hurd and Mix have torn down tbe bowery erected by them for the Fourth and which has since been used as a bowcry dance hall Saturday nights. Tb« trouble seemed to be that there was more lighting than dancing, and for the moral good of the town the boys removed it. ' • The extent to which the United States lead* all other nations in the matter of coffee consumption is indi­ cated In the following statement: "Of the sixteen million bags of coffee, esti­ mated as the world’s crop for the year ending Juno 30, 1903, over eight mil­ lion bags were sold in the United States. .Twelve pounds of coffee is the average annual' consumption of each inhabitant of this country. Of the 021,315 immigrant* coming into the country during tbe fiscal year just ended, the Italians bead the list, it is a generally conceded' fact that a large proportion of- these people are lawless and entirely objectionable; many of them are outlaws at home. Yet the Immigration management which is sending all of them into the country, as shown by the investiga­ tions of the Immigration Bureau, seems to overcome the legal difflcalties in securing their entrance. The figures—practically one million— and character of this year's immigra­ tion indicates that one of the congress ’ most important duties is the prepara­ tion and passage of a careful re­ strictive immigration law.

Schantz, secretary of ‘‘Barry County’s best Fair” was in town Wed­ nesday distributing some fine litho­ graphic work advertising the coming fair. Mr. Shantz is an enthusiast on good live stock fairs and agricultural shows and is determined to make the fair true to name “Barry County’s Best Fair.” From tbe plans outlined by the secretary, we predict a very interesting and attractive fair. A machine has oeen patented to de­ stroy potato bugs. It is on the order of a cultivator and is supplied with tans and rolls which will knock the bugs from tbe plant into troughs at­ tached to the machine, and they are thus killed. It is said that the ma­ chine will remove at least threefourths of the bugs and many acres can be covered in a day. Should the machine work satisfactorily it will prove a labor saver to the potato raiser. It is recorded of Cornelius Vander­ bilt that before he died be said to a friend: “I don't see what good it does me—all this money that you say is mine. I can’t eat it; I can’t spend it; in fact I never saw it and never had it in my hands for a moment. I dress no better than my private secretary and cannot eat as much as my coach­ man. I live ip a big servants’ board­ ing house, am Bothered to death by beggars, have dyspepsia, cannot drink champagne, ana most of my money is in the hands of others, who use it mainly for their own benefit.—Ex­ change. Drain Commissioner Sowers recent­ ly received a petition signed by about 75 property owners along the Thorn­ apple drain, asking him to extend the same to the dam which now blocks that stream at Nashville. As far back as when Judge Hooker was circuit judge an effort was made to remove this dam. While public sentiment was quite pro­ nounced against the dam at the time the matter was in the courts, the issue had been practically forgotten until it was revived by the circulation of the peti­ tion now in possession of Mr. Sowers. It is quite probable that tbe proposed extension will be taken up by the drain commissioners of both counties and the matter fully Investigated before any definite action is decided upon.—Char­ lotte Republican. Truly. Nashville is getting to be a town where they have “something doing.’’ Take last Saturday night for example. There was a circus in town, and tbe circus band gave a highly enjoyable concert of about half an hour’s duration on Main street. The Salvation army was also out and held a good-sized crowd for an hour or so. A bowery dance was running with a big crowd until mid­ night. There were two or three dog fight* and as many or more bouts between men, who ought to have known better, but who have since paid for their exhibitions. And good­ ness only knows whsu all was going on besides. No use going out of town for excitement when you can get it so much cheaper at home, and plenty of it.

Over-Work Weakens Your Kidneys. Unhealthy Kidneys Make Impure Blood. All the blood in your body parses through your kidneys once every three minutes. The kidneys are your blood purifiers, they fil|) ter out the waste or Impurities in the blood. If they are sick or out of order, they fail to do their work. Pains, aches and rheu­ matism come frem ex­ cess of uric acid in the blood, due to neglected kidney trouble. Kidney trouble causes quick or unsteady heart beats, and makes one feel as though they had heart trouble, becavie the heart is over-working in pumping thick, kidneypoisoned blood through veins and arteries. It used to be considered that only urinary troubles were to be traced to the kidneys, but now modern science proves that nearly all constitutional diseases have their begin­ ning in kidney trouble.

His day of financial glory are gone and the new* companle* find it a hard proposition to employ boys who can sell newspapers, magazines, books, fruit and what not on the railroad trains. Tbe reason la that tb® boys do not earn the money that they did in other days. , Tbe faded glory of tAe train boy is attributed to a multitude of causes, but the paramount cause may be placed at the- door of the hustling young chaps who sell newspapers on the station platform*. Passengers buy news­ papers before they get on the trains. Then there is the street fruit atand. it a traveler w.Hnts fruit he la going to buy it at n fruit stand, where he can get two oranges for a nickel. Tho trainboy must-get a nickel for one. News­ papers must also bring the trainboy a nickel. Tbe pktform boy seU* it for two cent*. There are but few of tbe old train “boy*" left They began business back in tbe day* when tbe train boy waa railed the “peanut." That was when the train boys sold peanuts on the train at.five cents a ginks. . For a nickel one can get four glasses of peanuts to-day. Between fifteen and twenty years ago the railroads declared against the sale of.shell pennuts In trains and the "peanut” lost bls title. After that, some one gave him the title of "butcher." Nobody knows where the name came from, but It's stuck just the same. But to-day he Is “his majesty, the train boy." “The good old days are gone,” mused one of the veteran “boys," as be wiped a cinder from the corner of his eye. /’It won’t bp many years now until the news agents on tbe trains will be a forgotten fancy. We barely make a living now. In the old days we made money so fast we didn't appre­ ciate It Ten dollars clear profit was not an unusual day’s-work with us.

I’ll enjoy the BL Louis show, I am sure." The modern train- boy Is not “up to snuff.". Pew of the boys that enter the employment of the news companies "make good." They either lack energy, or are Inclined io let their goods stand idle, while they see the sights along the line. The company requires each boy to give security for the goods he takes away aud he 1* fined if he neglects to care properly for his stock. The companies require that the boy must be over 18 years old; he must be 5 feet, or over, in height, and. above all. must not be a clgahflte smoker. He is also required to sign a release, which exempts the railroad and news companies from paying damages If he Is Injured. The twentieth century train boy Is uusally a flippant youngster, who has an Idea that tbe world belongs to him because he rldea a train and wears a uniform. That is one of the worries of the news company. But. good or bnd, the train boy is jwissing Into the realm of “has-been," and he will soon be seen no more ou the trains.—Indiannjxdls News.

Beauty is only skin deep but that is deep enough to satisfy any reason­ able man. Clothes don’t make the man, but they and face during business hours. Duty means something unpleasant which the other fellow ought to do. Easiest way to make enemies is to hire friends. Fools will turn out fools whether they go to college or not. Give most men a good listener and most women enough note paper, and they’ll tell all they know. Hot air can take up a balloon a long ways, but it can’t keep it there. • If you give some fellows a talent (crapped in a napkin to start with । in business, they would swap the talent for a gold brick and lose the napkin. 'Just to be sociable some men' will eat little food now and then but what they really live on is tobacco. Knowing how to be humble is a heap more important than knowing how tt> be proud. Loyaltv is the one commodity that hasnTt any market value, and it’s the one you can’t pay too much for. Marriages may be made in heaven, but most engagements are made in the back parlor with tbe gas so low that a fellow doesn’t really get a square look at what he’s taking. Never threaten, because a threat is a promise to pay that isn’t always convenient to meet, but If you don’t make it good it hurts your credit. Of course you're in no position yet to think of being engaged, and that’s why I’m afraid that you may be planning to get married. Pulling from above and boosting from below makes climbing easy. Quick to fire, slow to hire—when yor.’ve found you’ve hired the wrong man you can’t get rid of him too quick. Remember that when you’re right you can afford to keep your temper and that when you’re wrong you can’t afford to lose it. Say less than the other fellow and listen more than you talk, for when a man’s listening he isn’t telling on himself, and he’s flattering the fel­ low who is. The fellow who has to break open the baby’s bank toward the last of the week for car fare isn’t going to be any Russell Sage.

Other people'* love affairs are.always disgusting. Besides, there are complications." He shook his head wearily. "Ah, yes! Those compli­ cations!’’ “As for instance?” “Well, here's a case. I was Saturdayto-Mondaying, and on Bunday night, as we were fooling about in the garden after dinner, a good-looking woman of 40 felt instinctively that I was to be trusted, and emptied out the whole of her silly love story. She was in love with a manl know—we’ll call him Smith. She told me all that I never wanted to know about her feelings tojrard Smith. He’s a decent chap enough, but she saw him in the glorified light I pass over the discomfort of seeing a good-looking woman go blinded by sen­ timentality that she humiliates herself. It’s unpleasant, but after all that is principally her own affair. I will only say- that I knew, beyond the possibility of mistake, that Smith did not care two straws about her. In fact he was at tbe time secretly engaged to a girl of 17— he’d.told me all about it, of course. And I may add that the secret engagement is just about the worst and most serious kind of an engagement ^ow you see the complication.” . ’•Well. How?" i "You might have imagination enough to see that, I should think. This fool of a woman knew well enough that I was a friend of Smith's. When ahe poured out her story I couldn’t stand dumb. I had to say something. What was I to sayF’ "You might have hinted that Smith's affections were already occupied.” "Pleasant job that would have been. Remember that this woman was on tragic lines; and that I’m not a doctor and don't know the immediate treat­ ment of hysteria and fainting fits. Be­ sides, Smith had sworn me to secrecy about his engagement. And I couldn’t be brute enough to pretend that Smith cared for her. That would have made worse trouble. What was I to do?” "You say she saw Smith in a glorified light. You might have given her an­ other point of view—moved him down from the pedestal, so to speak.” ‘•Bright idiot! That’s exactly what I did do—and I’ve been repenting ever since. I didn’t take Smith's character away, but I tried to get the halo of ro­ mance off him, to move him down from the pedestal, as you say. I told her what he looked like when he had the mumps, and described the little humor­ ous accidents that have happened to him. I jested on his clothes and personal ap­ pearance. It did no good. When a woman puts a man$n a pedestal it takes more than mumps to lift him down; it takes miracles.*' “Yes. it was but—" "Unpleasant? Why. the game had only just begun.She „ happened to come on thatsgirl of 17 and talked about me. and said the way I abused Smith was too disgraceful. The girl told Smith and that ass Smith wrote to me. The woman is going about and getting me a charac­ ter as an envious aud backbiting liar. My hostess on that occasion won’t ask me again and Smith cuts me. Sweet, isn’t it? It’s a lovely thing to be made the repository of people's confidences.’* "But surely you could explain the cir­ cumstances of the case to Smith?” "Of course I couldn't I should have had to break my word to that fool of a woman. Besides it would make Smith too conceited; and he has got a tendency that way already. In addition. If he wants to make an ass of himself, let him; I’m not going to crawl to him with a lot of explanations. But that's only one case. I could give you hundreds more. I knew a man—call him Jones— who wasn’t a bad sort. I got on all right with him when we met. but 1 didn’t break my heart when we didn’t. One day he got seized with the idea t^at I was a man whom one trusts instinctively, and insisted on telling me what he called a dark page in his family history. Brief­ ly. one of his uncles was a bad lot. and is at present a convict, doing time. I didn't care a pin’s head, of course, but what’s the consequence? Whenever I meet Jones, instead of treating him tn the or­ dinary way. I’m soapily civil to him. I’ve asked him to dinner when I didn't want him. I’ve dined with him when I didn't want to go. And it’s all simply and solely to show him that the convict uncle hasn't made me despise him. It's too sickening. Love affairs are the worst, though. They're dangerous. Play with7gunpowder, sport with nitro-gly­ cerine. throw razors into the air and catch them by the blade as they come down, but never have anything to do with another man’s love affair.

The weather bureau’s weekly summary of crop conditions is as follows: The temperature during the week end­ ing July '27 in the district* east of the Rocky Mountains has been favorable,'ex­ too cool, but the need of rain is being <uite generally felt in the central val­ leys and Southern States. Destructive local* storms occurred in Minnesota, Mis­ souri nnd in rhe northern portion of the middle Atlantic States. In California the week wns abuonunlly cool, but otherwiso favorable. Over the northern portion of the corn belt the corn crop has made good prog­ ress, and elsewhere fair advancement is reported, but is in general need of rain In tho central and southern portions of the principal com States. While no rorioiw injury has yet resulted from drought the crop is threatened in portions of Kansas, Oklahoma and Missouri. Some winter wheat remains to be har­ vested iu the northern portion of tho middle Atlantic States and tbe hike re­ gion. While light yields are generally in­ dicated the crop has been secured and is being thrashed under exceptionally fa­ vorable conditions, that in shock and stack having wholly escaped injury from moisture, which was quite widespread in the previous year. The condition of spring wheat con­ tinues unfavorable, especially over the northern portion of the spring wheat re­ gion. An improvement, however, in tbe crop on fall-plowed lands in northern Minnesota is reported, but rti<> late-oown is |»<M>r and nut is prevalent in southern Minnesota nnd South Dakota.

Ca’k Weekly Review of Trad*. Continuing, tbo report says: Good news as to the progress being made toward settlement of labor disputes was neutralized by the decline in securi­ ties in so far as the iron and steel in­ dustry is concerned. There were many indications that the interruptions from strikes would be less frequent in the im­ mediate future, nnd there was a general disposition to fully sustain* prices. But tbe heavy liquidation and new low rec­ oW prices for steel issues had much in­ fluence on conditions in the actual busiNearly half a-million tons of steel rails have been ordered for next year's deliv­ ery, and other heavy cteel aha_pes are attracting close attention.

The unexpected happened in the mar­ ket for woolens. It was confidently be­ lieved that new lines of staple piecedyed goods would be opened at fully maintained quotations, but the American Woolen Company reduced prices to about the same level ns existed a year ago, de­ spite- the material increase in raw wool ami several other items in the cost of production..xThe cut was evidently made tn secure business rather than because of any weakness in the market. There are no signs of businew paralysis. Tbe elimination uf water la \\ nil street has not put a damper on straight business. Tbe rent decline in stocks b-gan when the court handed down the decision in the Northern Securi­ ties case which showed that there were limit* to what even the kings of finance' could do, and since then the influences for decline have been many. But the first great blow at confidence was struck when the public began to see that the men who held the trusteeships for the smaller investors were managing the af­ fair/ of the country’s greatest corpora­ tion for their own purposes. Then the small investor began to ask himself what sort of a show he stood.

EARLY. < CENTRAL DRUG STORE That the Michigan Central Railway company means business in regard to building a new depot* is. assured and a handsome new building will soon be erected. Mr. W. S. Kinnear, chief engineer; Mr. St. John, assistant engineer and Mr. Carr, superintendent of construction, were in town Tues­ day, coming in on the 4:05 train and leaving on the 6:45 train, and to­ gether’with a few interested ones went over the ground and selected a site for the new depot. They had the rough plans of the building with them which were as follows: The building is to be 34x65 feet with a 24 foot brick-paved plat­ form extending to the track. To be constructed of gray pressed brick, with slate roof. It will contain an office, large general waiting room, baggage room, gents’ smoking room, and ladies’ and gents’ toilet rooms, with a good basement under the whole. The building’ will be heated by steam and lighted by electricity, and a special sewer will be laid and city water connected. It will be lo­ cated at the end of Slate street and the east end will come about to the middle of the street. Tne gentlemen assured Mr. Glasgow that every means would be taken to build a fine depot in every way and while they were greatly rushed with work they had personal instructions frc.:u Mr. Ledvard, president of the company, to give Nashville the prefer­ ence in the work, and in consequence Mr. Carr will be here next week -with a gang of workmen to commence work on the sewer and do other preparatory work, during which time the material for the building will arrive, and as soon as the sewer is laid the founda­ tion will be started and the building pushed to completion as rapidly as possible. Many other improvements will be made to their grounds here and that they will be appreciated by the people of the village goes without saying. A grass plat and flower garden will be made at both ends of the new depot and ail in all when it is com­ pleted the depot will be a thing of beauty xo the village and should be a good deal of satisfaction to the rail­ road company. We hope to give our readers a picture of , the new building in a couple of weeks. been often tom by dissensions as to whether his eyes were light or dark. No* the question is sealed and we can resume our several occupations with equanimity. A Boston paper’s Washington correspondent caught Alice Roosevelt in the act of picking her umbrella from the gutter, into which it had blown, and telegraphed the “weighty” story to his paper which dished IV up with appropriate startling headlines and a - double-column cut of Miss Roosevelt. Another case is that of a Philadelphia paper which prints on its first page, under an Immense double-column head, a photograph of John Jacob Astor In full military re­ galia and another of Harry Lehr followed by a half-column news Astor and while dressing in a hotel a specs of dust blew in his eye. He telephoned to a friend asking what doctor he would recommend. He then took a cab, presumably for the doctor’s, returning shortly afterward ‘’apparently relieved of suffering.” A Detroit paper recently gave an article telling bow a prominent society woman was soon to-be visited by the stork and not only printed her picture but embellished it with a number of pen drawings of babies. In our opinion this certainly reached the limit. The newspapers of the big cities arc full of just such inconsequential stuff and the more trivial the matter the more elaborate the featuring.

It was too cold and dry in some counties save in the spring, the report says, but the crop recovered largely later on. There were some signs of Hessian fly but conditions were unfavorable for the work of these insects. The weather was not so wet as last year, so that most of the wheat was secured in good condition. The quality is also f ood, only a small part being unfit or flouring purposes. The average estimated yield is, in the southern, central and northern counties and in the state, fifteen bushels, while one year ago the esti­ mated average yield per acre was, in the southern counties sixteen bushels, in the central counties eighteen bush­ els in the northern counties and in the state seventeen bushels. The per cent of plowing done for wheat in the southern counties is fourteen, Id the central counties thirteen, in the northern counties six, and in the state thirteen. The total number of bushels of wheat reported marketed in the twelvemonths, Augunt-July, is 4,642•58, which is 734,(-21 bushels more than was reported marketed in the same months last year. At 51 elevators and mills from which reports have been received there was no wheat marketed in July. - The price is still on the up-grade. Yesteruav local dealers were paying seventy-three cents, and the present condition of the market remains favorable to the farmers. THE POT AND THE KETTLE. Some of the metropolitan papers are featuring real or imaginary ex­ tracts from the rural press, which are supposed to make the city folks go into ecstacles of mirth. i’hey tell how Bill Jones lost a valuable horse last week, that Miss Eliza Cornstalk is working for Mrs. Hayfield during harvest, and a lot of such stuff that is purported to come from the country weeklies. They forget how interest­ ing xhe, trivial and chiefly personal affairs which occupy so large a space In the rural press are to the readers of those papers, and if they would but look at their own silly stuff we believe they would let us fellows alone and try to build up the quality of their own news items. For instance not long ago the Grand Rapids Herald contained an account of a re­ ception given by a “hightoned” lady (we suppose she was of the “upper crust” or her doings would not have been chronicled by the paper) one afternoon to twelve ladies, and after taking nearly a column’ in telling wbat they wore gowned in said that it was themostbcilliant social function of the season. Why it was brilliant we suppose was in point of dress only for the report of the affair contained nothing about wbat they enjoyed themselves at, and we presume it was simply a show, similar to the horse shows given in New York City. And then think of it! There were twelve ladies there—such a crowd of “beauti­ ful” women all at one house at the same time ocrtainly deserved a column in the Herald. Recently the Chicago American con­ tained an editorial on the subject of “The Color of Cmsar’s Eyes.’, We have been in a sweat to know the color of Ca?sar’s eyes for lo these many years. The general public has THIS PREVENTS SMUT. Wheat Cirowers Should Read the Following and Try It. Smut of wheat is of two kinds, the first kind destroying the whole head of wheat, except the central straw. The whole head is converted into a fine, black dust which blows about in the wind and infests other stools of wheat. Against this kind of smut I have no remedv to suggest at present. The second kind of smut differs from the first in not being easily detected until the wheat is ripe, when the smutty head is found to have its kernels con­ verted Into a black, ill-smelling mass. This kind of smut yields to treatment and I suggest the following: Get your drug store to buy a stock of formalin; this material is put-up in bottles, usually a pound in a bottle, which sell to the customer for about 60 cents. Buy from your druggist one pound of formalin; mix it with 50 gal­ lons of water. Clear off a space some 12 feet square on the barn floor, wet the floor thoroughly witirthis mixture, using one pound of formalin and 50 Rations of water, then spread on a tyer of wheat a couple of inches thick over a space 12 feet in diameter on the clean floor and thoroughly wet this wheat with a sprinkling pot. using this solution of formalin. Shovel the wheat over and put on another layer of wheat’and thoroughly wet it. This 50 gallons of solution should treat 35 bushels of wheat. See that all the surface of every kernel is wet, but do not use a great excess of the liquid or it will hinder germination. I would leave the wheat in a pile for 24 hours. Then sow either by hand or with a drill. Of course the bags and the drill itself should be wet with this mixture before putting the seed wheat in. Our experiments show that this is a very sure preventive of smut. . C. D. Smith, Director Agricultural College Experiment Station. NUMBEft-JHBOY NOT SO BAD. Editor Jfasbville News. Dear Sir:—I noticed a clipping from the Hastings Banner in your paper last week's* follows: “John Lockhart, aged 14, the adopted son of Elias Lockhart of Castleton was brought before Justice Riker Saturday .on a charge of truancy. The .case was a peculiar one and-on the recommenda­ tion of County Agent Bauer the boy was discharged.” I.don’t know what there was peculiar about it. It was simply this: Johhny became tired of working early and late, doing a-man’s work with never a half holiday to go to town or go fishing, and have only about three month’s schooling in a year. About a year ago Jchnny made an attempt, alone and unaided, to leave Lockhart and go to Charlotte and try >to find some possible relatives by the name of Bowman he hod heard lived there. .Lockhart overtook him at Vermontville and brought him back, threatening to send an officer after him if be did such a thing again. This spring Johnny became de­ termined to try again and began in­ quiring of the nelghoors fora home. There are any number ot homes open to receive such a boy and after talk­ ing with friends about the matter he decided to strike out. He did so and the officer who locked him in jail ought to be. prosecuted. He had’dune nothing wrong and to bring such dis­ grace upon an Innocent boy was en­ tirely out of place. He is established now in a good home and looks bright and happv. In the four weeks he has been’ in his new home he has gained five pounds, the same that he had gained ip the five years that he had lived with Lockhart. I write this in justice to the boy for I am convinced he is deserving of it. I am very truly yours, Mrs. Homer Ehret. LACEY BOY IN TROUBLE. Chas. Scheldt is remodeling his residence on south Main street. He will tear down the old part on the . north side and move what is now on the back to that side and besides moving the whole - building to the west will erect porches and an addition. The gullible greenhorn will still buy his groceries from some traveling, fakir from Chicago, or some other city. Their orders are taken and in time the goods arrive, and in nearly* every case the gudgeon finds he has been swindled. The price is higher than that charged by local dealers, and the stuff would never pass muster with a pure.food commissioner. A hobo, Robert Ritchie, whose home is anywhere he hangs his hat, feasted on the good things in the . many gardens around town last week without the consent of tne owners and Marshal Appelman hauled him out of a box car and left- him with Justice Felghner a few minutes, who issued an order conveying him to Hastings where Sheriff Courtright will stuff him with garden truck seven days. Dell Chapman, an itinerant tinner, from anywhere, took un a cargo Monday that he could not sail and Officer Appleman came to the rescue and.safely, moored him to the village bastilc. where he “seen things” during the night and the next morning be heard ’Squire Feighner’s hoarse voice say “ten days.” He was accomEanied to Hastings Tuesday afternoon y Appelman. ________ The Baker Mercantile company has removed its dry goods stock from the Buxton block to 110 Division street, Grand Rapids, where they will conduct a wholesale business in damaged stocks. Mr. Baker, who is well qualified to make a success of such business on account of his ex­ perience, will have charge of the business and will divide his time be­ tween Grand Rapids and his largely Increasing grocery business here. The following from the Grand Rapids Press Monday refers to a former Lacey boy: "J. S. Stevens, cashier of the Swift Packing com­ pany’s branch house here, has been arrested, charged with the embezzelment of $2,000. It is claimed that he has been stealing for nearly two years oy means of raising bills he collected each week from local meat firms. • Stevens is 21 years old, his home is in Battle Creek and he has pre­ viously enjoyed a good reputation. The young man made a full confession. His friends hope to effect a settle­ ment. The following from the Bettie Creek Moon refers to a former resident ot Nashville, “Sam” LJywis, and will be of interest to bis many friends here: “One of the fastest freight runs ever made on the Grand Trunk was made by afaststock'special between Port Hu­ ron and Battle Creek Saturday night. Engine No. 1135 pqlled the train and was in charge of Engineer Ed Harri­ son and Fireman L. L. Lewis, better known as "Brush.” The trip from the Battle Creek yards to the tunnel at Port Huron, a distance of 186miles, was mode in the fast time of five hours and ten minutes. The boys have been receiving manj- congratulations on account of their fast run.” Quite a number witnessed the flight of a meteor last Friday night which was plainly visible and must have been very near. It first came to view in the northwest and travelled at a terrific rate until it vanished from view in the northeast. It left a streak of fire behind and much resembled a comet. ________ Morgan still keeps stirred up over the Hougbtalin-Adkins affair and every few weeks some new tale of the scandal bobs up to keep gossip alive. It is averred that Houghlalin has been paying a great deal of attention to Mrs. Adkins and that Mrs. Adkins in turn heartllv reciprocated his ad­ vances and things were taking on a disgusting aspect when Mr. Adkins stepped in and a«ked the court to free him from the bonds that hold him to Mrs. Adkins as husband, and now Mrs. Martha Houghtai in has commenced suit for $5,000 damages against Mrs. Adkins for alienation of her hus­ band’s affections. The case will probably afford rich amusement and fireside gossip to Morganites for some time to come. The latest contributions to the pri­ mary school fund were taken In last Thursday by Chief Collector E. J. Felghner, who assessed Lon Baker $7.45, George Welsh* $5.45. Loy Har­ mon $14.31 and Claude Allerton $8.45. They all had a good time at the bowery dance a week ago Saturday night and the officers thought they should pay for it.

As to the yield of the wheat crop it Is thought that with all the recen.L improvement and with a yield in South Dakota approximately IU.000,000 bushels more as partial offset to kisses elsewhere, the total' is likely to fall under last year, hut there will be a. good yield on the whole, and a yield for which the Northwest may be very thank­ ful in view of the fact that a month ago the, entire crop stood in iniuiinen; danger of destruction from drought. The course grain crops that come to harvest earliest of all are turning out well and there is a big hay crop. Flax Is standing .veil, and die temperature* -of this week, although the cause of some nervousness, were not low enough to hurt it. The smaller crops are good.

Merchants in the <hey are enjoying the best cash business for years and are unable to accumulate a surplus of goods" In any line. Car shortage* in the Southwest are a feature, this due in part, however, to the crippling of many roads by recent floods.

The matter as It now stands Is a seri­ ous one for dairymen and they should get In communication with their Con­ gressmen so that some way may be found of properly and thoroughly pro­ tecting dairy Inteyests. So much stress Is placed on science In agriculture of late years, that a young man might almost suppose the books. bulletins and wise addre.tses tell the whole story about farming. The reason so much is constantly belug said and written about the how and why of the latest methods and newest ideas In fanning is because these ore all that can easily be taught. Fondness for hard work and a level head, full of business sense, cannot be acquired from bulletins or gathered from export advisers. The new Ideas help the brain and spare the hands, but farming Is still much more a busi­ ness than a science. Now, as always, hustle and good Judgment are better than a head full of new notions with­ out these qualities. System, order, promptness, honesty, shrewdness, econ­ omy. self-control, tact to manage work­ men. all such are strictly business qualities, nnd are likewise the foun­ dation of any great success in farm­ ing. Only nature and experience can Impart most of these essentials, hence the experiment stations say nothing about them.. But they are as Import­ ant as ever. Anfionglneer without a locomotive and steam will not get on very fast, neither will expert agricul­ tural knowledge succeed without busi­ ness qualities. City.

The only attorney present wns County Attorney Webster. Jett received the verdict with compar­ ative indifference and calmness. White, who haa been apparently under a sovere strain during the trial, flushed up nnd hi* eyra filled with tears. Attorney Golden for the defense stat­ ed that a motion for a new trial would be made as noon na possible. The gen| eral opinio*' seems tu be that the motion i will be overruled by the cofirt nnd that It will then go to tbe CoUrt of Appeals. The verdict un tbe whole is regarded as n victory for the defense, ns the prosecu­ tinn asked that no middle ground be tak­ en and that the meu either gu acquitted or be hanged. The case has been on trial nimoat three weeks. At the first trial at Jackson the jury disagreed nnd It is believed that the Inter verdict was a compromise with a i juror upposed to eapitq^ punishment. i There have brom twenty-raven lives fort within the past two years in the Hargia-Cockerill fend in Breathitt Coun­ ty nnd this U the first conviction.

I have wtthlil the last month passed through an experi­ ence Identical with hls In every way except as to the location, and m go on record as saying that I wouldn’t go through it again for any reasonable money. “I fell under the weather along to­ ward the middle of May, and my med­ ical man told, me that Hie thing for me would be a week or so down by the sea. I’ve been going to Atlantic City with my family for a month in the summer for a good many years, and so I packed a grip and went down there, alone, because my wife couldn’t get ready in time to accompany me. "The hotel at which I have been putting <ip at Atlantic City for a long period of years is one that generally keeps open all the year around, but, owing to extensive repairs, it closed Immediately after the Easter Beason this year. The repairs were delayed, and the hotel had just thrown open its doors on tbe day that I got in. with its full summer staff on hand and ready for business. "The proprietor of the hotel gave me a warm greeting. " ‘If you don’t get happy it will be your own fault,’ he said to me, ’for you’re No. 1 on the new register, and have got the a hole works' to yourself. So you see that you’re right, old man, and all you’ve got to do Is to go ahead and take it easy.’ "He gave me a huge, handsome room with a bath, and I unpacked my grip, put on a dinner coat, and I went down to the vast dining-room for dinner. Disconcerting experience, that There were at least a hundred waiters lined up on both sides of the dining-room, all of them wearing welcoming grins. The dinner, from a gastronomic view­ point. was a daisy, but I didn't get even a little bit of good out of It I had the feeling that not only the eyes of my own extraordinarily attentive not to say servile, waiter, but the eyes of the whole hundred waiters were glued upon every mouthful that I took. The string orchestra but in the ante­ room played on continuously while I ate, and when I came to the. entrees the lender of the orchestra sent the head walte<to me with hiB respectful compliments and the query as to whether there was any particular muejc that I desired hls outfit to play. That message didn’t serve to make me any more at ease, either—the leader of the summer hotel orchestra asking me whether I had any 'reqyssf compo­ sitions in mind that I’d idle his band to reel off—-It seemed so hopelessly ab­ surd that it made me feel like a man traveling under false pretenses, a coun­ terfeit I began to compare myself with famous swindlers I’d read abrut who had engaged whole floors of noted hotels by giving distinguished names. I was still doing the best I could under the depressing circumstances with the salad, when the head waiter ap­ proached me again. The chef, he told me, would like to know whether I de­ sired my demi-tasse composed of Mo­ cha and Java mixed, or exclusively of Java or Mocha. I thought that I de­ tected a derisive and disdainful leer on the head waiter’s ebony counte­ nance when he submitted this inquiry of the chefs to me. and I was in more than half a mind to make a bolt for It out of the dining-room then and there, without waiting for the dessert and coffee.

Furniss They fnake a Beautiful Line of Ex­ tension Dining Tables, their Goods Being in Great Demand. In the year 1867, when Nashville was ic its infancy, hardly out of its swaddling clothes, there came to the settlement Jacob Lentz, an exper­ ienced cabinet maker from Rochester, jj. Y., bringing with him three lusty sons, Charles, Albert and Lewis. Mr. Lentz had tired of -working for other people, had saved up a little money, and came west to start in business for himself. He decided that Nashville had a future, and located here, start­ ed a furniture store, opened a little shop in the rear of his stortf,-and com­ menced in a small way the manufact­ ure of furniture. The town grew, his business grew, and as the sons also grew he took them Into the shop with him and taught them the trade. Soon thelittle shop became too small for the demands upon it, and a barn owned by Hiram Coe, at the west. end of Washington street, was purchased and converted Into a shop. The horse power, which was the motor for the first shop, was discarded and In its place was installed a small steam en­ gine. Machinery was added from time to time, and as the merits of the goods made by the Lentz factory be­ came known throughout the surround­ ing country, orders commenced to come in from outside. Stoadily the business grew until the barn was too small. Finally, In 1876, the firm of J. Lentz & Sons tore town the old build­ ings or moved them out of the way and built a fine factory, three stories in height, the building being brick veneered. A new boiler and engine were installed, new machinery added to the equipment and more men hired. The business, which had in Its time embraced the manufacture of many kinds and styles of furniture, kept working more and more toward the manufacture of extension tables, and that had become the principal portion of the business, when on August 4th, 1801, the entire plant was consumed by fire, and the main business portion of the town came near going with it, but was finally saved by almost super­ human efforts on the part of the citi­ zens, working with palls and on an­ tiquated hand ^engine. This was the turned for the first time. Within .a few days everything-was adjusted and the shops commenced work. At first the working force comprised abbut fifteen or twenty men, mostly old em­ ployes of the Lentz firm, but the busi­ ness grew and grew as the merit of the goods made by the firm became more widely known, until at the present time the working force consists of 51 men, which is all that can be worked to ad­ vantage in the buildings which the company now has. The pay roll amounts to a tidy sum, they having paid out in wages last year nearly •20,000, while the total this year will more than pass those figures. One noticeable thing about the. factory Is the excellent feeling among the em­ ployes, who all take pride in the plant, are happy and contented, and take al pardonable pride in the excellence o the goods which they turn out. The —Fern., the twelve-year-old dapghter of Mr. and Mrs. James Rose, living south of town, was successfully oper­ ated on for appendicitis by Drs. Hutch­ inson and Shilling Tuesday of last . week^tbsisted by Mrs>Carrle Dior, a trained nurse of Charlotte, who re­ mained to care for the case. She is improving._______ S. D. Katherman of Woodland, sec­ retary of the Farmers’ Union Mutual Fire Insurance company of Barry, , Ionia and Kent counties, was in : toe village Tuesday and made The NeWs a call. He informs us that under the new rule of direct collections the com­ pany is in a very flourishing condition and that the business of the company is becoming enormous. ^Vermontville has a few cases of small pox which have caused consid­ erable apprehension in our neighbor­ ing villageXtont toe authorities are vigilant and the spread of the disease is improbable. They are of the same mild form that has characterized that disease in the country the past few years and from^that fact it is little feared except from a general scourge. company does not go into the cheaper grades of tables, make only the med­ ium and higher grades of goods. Their goods are shown every year at the semi-annual furniture exhibit at Grand Rapids and are recognized in the trade as being among the very best goods manufactured. They shipped lost year over 100 car loads of tables, or on an average of two cars a week, and their product goes to all sections of the country. As an instance, they are now loading a fifty­ foot car, one of the biggest freight cars ever made, for shipment to Ta­ coma, Washington. The plant is worked to its utmost capacity, and more men would be put on if they bad room to work them. However, the capacity of the works is to be in­ creased this fall, by an addition of fifty feet to the west building. This will increase their floor space to Good Meat The Old Reliable Argument Our best argument for our goods Is the many satisfied customers and our Increasing trade. We are satis­ fied that the quality of the goods we handle is responsible for this. The Price is a big object and here again we shine. We give you the best at prices others ask for the cheaper goods. Don't forget about thoseSmitb■ sonioo Tfuhscs, those exquisite Per­ fumes, Tooth Brushes, etc., and when you want anything in our line give us a call. CH. BROWN body .blow which settldQ the water works question, which had been agi­ tated in the village for several years, and the present excellent system of water works is almost the direct re­ sult of that fire. The loss to Lentz & Sons by the destruction of their plant was in the neighborhood of >12,000land the insurance was almost nothing. However, the Lentz family had plenty pluck, and the citizens of the town had confidence in their skill and ability, and inside of a week from the time of the fire a new company was organized, with a capital of M0,000, to build, equip and operate a new factory The company was incorporated under the laws of the state, the name being the Lentz Table Company, two acres of ground in the cast part of town ad­ joining the tracks of .the Michigan Central railroad were purchased and inside of a month the construction of the present splendid plant com­ menced. The picture which we pre­ sent hardly does the plant justice, as our artist found it impossible to find a point from which a good picture of all the buildings could be taken. The main building, which contains all of the machinery, is 60x100 feet in size, two stories in height, and is adjoined by the engine and boiler room, which is 40x40, and is a solid brick struc­ ture. On the left in the picture is shown the finishing shop and shipping room, a building ob feet wide and 60 feet long. In the rear, where they do not show in the picture, are the dry kilns, each 18x60, and capable of dry­ ing 60,000 feet of lumber every week. The work oa the new factory was pushed rapidly, the fine new machin­ ery was ordered at once, and on Thanksgiving day of the same year the wheels of the new plant were A NEEDED IMPROVEMENT. We believe that In the near future the people of Nashville will insist on having the mill pond, which has ex­ isted in the village since the town was first started, drained, and the place where it now lies cleaned up. We have been very fortunate that in the past years we have had no serious epidemic of malaria, typhoid, diph­ theria, etc., but the time will surely come, and at no distant day, when the Ing him. ft burned, however, and in consequence he has a sore hand­ You can not help but be pleased when you buy meat* at our market, for the meat is right and the price is always a* low as Is consistent with In this hot weather we have a full supply of cold meats always on hand and can guarantee the wholesomenee* of it.

The plant has run steadi­ ly, never having been closed since ita first start, except for Inventory and repairs. The employes appreciate this fact, as it assures them of steady work the year round at good wages. We also show, in connection with this article, cuts of two of their most popular styles of the present year. The styles change from year to year, and the company has its own design­ er, who is constantly at work upon designs for future manufacture. This year's catalogue shows-about 85 dif­ ferent styles of tables, ranging in price at retail from 16 to *85 each. While al the factory Monday we were shown some of the better styles, and they are articles of furniture which would grace the dining room of a pal­ ace. Some? of the tope, made of hand­ some quartered oak or solid mahog­ any, are strikingly beautiful. All of the work on the tables, including carvipg, veneering, etc., is done in the company's own plant, and we have no doubt It would surprise the major­ ity of our readers if they could have the privilege of going through the shops and seeing the excellent quality of work which is being done there. The most minute and exacting pains are taken to see that every table is absolutely perfect before it is shipped, which is one good reason why the works are always busy and why their output has steadily increased from year to year. The Lentz Table company is an in­ stitution of which any town might well be proud, and wo hope to see it grow and increase in. size and output every year. Nashville needs more such Industries.

The stream should be dredged, cleaned out and straight­ ened, and every possible precaution taken to remove and destroy the de­ caying vegetation. The work should be done in the fall, so that the frosts of winter would have an opportunity to kill off the germs and refuse of the vegetation. The removal of the dam would of course destroy the water power owned by Mr. Barber, and he would have to be given a reasonable remuneration for ft. It is his private property, and no one has the right to destroy it without paying him for it, but farmers who own lands along the river between here and Vermontville would be so vastly benefitted that they could well afford to stand their share of the expense, which would not be heavy on each one of them. Mr. Bar­ ber, in a talk with The News, ex­ pressed a willingness to have the drain put through if he was paid a reasonable price for the water power. The Tbornapple river has been cleaned and straightened almost its entire length through Eaton county, and the resultamt benefits to that county will be almost inestimable. Let us con­ tinue the good work through the Nash­ ville mill pond and if necessary on through to Thornapple lake. The cleaning up 61 such boles, swamps, and desolate places is marking the advance of civilization, doing away with malaria, mosquitoes, and many other evils and making the country beautiful and productive. We hope to see steps taken in the near future looking to the putting through of this matter, and when the time comes we believe the people of Nashville will give it their hearty approval and sup­ port. HAY STACKS BURNED. Last week Thursday afternoon threei large stacks of hay on the farm of H. O. Archer, southeast of town, burned,, the fire starting from a spark from ai threshing engiue which was at work: doing Mr. Archer’s threshing. Thei stacks contained about twenty-five: tons of good hay and the loss is ak serious loss to Mr. Archer. They' were insured,however, in the Barry <k; Eaton Insurance company for (150.^ They were in close proximity to the। barn and other buildings and had it; not b&en for the fact that there wasi plenty Gt help present they would have: all burned, as those present workedl hard and barely kept the fire confinedi to the hay. Two young boys, Dickinson and Fisher, of Hastings, were arrested Tuesday night atTbornapple lake by Detective Herbert of the Michigan Central railroad for stealing a ride on the evening train east. He brought them here but as no officer was at the depot took them on to Charlotte where they were arraigned and fined 115.32 or 30 days in jail. They will proba­ bly take the latter. k —--------/ C- L. Glasgow received thia week blue prints of the new depot and grounds, which he has at his store."^. letter was also received from Mr. W. S. Kinnear, chief engineer, asking the village to make a few concessions to the railroad company before the pres­ ent plans could be carried out, and as soon as this is done work will be com­ menced. The council will act on the matter at their next meeting. Some time ago Mrs. George Welsh asked the circuit court for a decree of divorce from her husband and the case has been pending. This week an order was issued from the court de­ manding Mr. Welsh to guarantee ali­ mony and attorney fee, which order was served Tuesday. By wayjof retal­ iation Mr. Welsh has commenced suit against Mr. and Mrs. Dennis Ward for 15,000 damager for alienation of his wife's affections. Mrs. Ward is Mrs Welsh’s mother. These papers were also served Tuesday. The moral serenity of the village has been disturbed to a considerable extent the past week and enough ma­ terial could be gathered to make a thrilling romance. We might tell of a woman being kidnapped and spirited to Hastings in the dead of the night, and confined in a dark, dreary room for two nights; we might tell of how her parents feared for her safety and secured the services of a great sleuth; we might relate how search was made for miles among the dark holes along the surging, swirling waters of the Thornapple river, and how fear clutched at their throats lest they should find their darling daughter in its fiendish grasp.

It will be necessary to keep tbe field hoed or cultivated uotil the plants get strong enough to overcome sny weed growth. After this no care Is neces­ sary until fall harvest. Under this sort of cultivation it is possible to grow from 600 to 1,000 bushels on an acre, according to the condition of the soil. •Carrots and turnips cun be easily rais­ ed on the same plan, although for gen­ eral feeding the mangels are, perhaps, more desirable. • More cases of thumps among pigs are reported this year than in some time before, owing, doubtless, to the rainy weather, which prevented the pigs from getting the sunshine they so much ^needed. If there Is anything farmers need to learn about the handling of young pigs It is that they .need sun and exercise, both In con­ siderable quantities. An Ideal pasture for young pigs Is a place that may be fenced off from the . main pasture ■when* there is one or more trees which will prorlde shade, but where there will also lie a large space of • comparatively dry ground, in grass, on -which the pigs may run. If there is ■white clover in the gras:., so much the better for the pigs, and they will need less corn. Sun and exercise will pre­ vent thumps, which disease usually means death. It la not unusual for swine, and partlcularij' the young pigs, to be afflict­ ed with lice, mid the trouble t» usually dur to unclean quarters. If the pigs are constantly scratching they should be clone'.y examined for lice, and if tbe vermin arc found the pigs should be taken from rise pen nnd the latter thoroughli^cleansed. Scrub the pen thor-" ougbly nnd then whitewash IL The pigs should also be acruiibed with a .Kfiutlon of sulphur or by wring tome of the abevp dipa, of which there are many good ones on the market. If no Uce are found on tbe pigs, then the trouble generally cornea from Im­ proper feeding of the ww while idle I* nursing.

In selecting sheep for the farm It Is generally wise ta look after the merits of each individ­ ual regardless of the breed to which she belongs, for there are good breeds with poor members of tbe family just as there are good members in breeds that are not so highly rated. In most sections where sheep may be raised to advantage there .Is room for m&ny more than are now raised.

Tbe geologists uot deal time In tbe everyday arose. Their current cd® is not centuries but epochs, and they draw on the bank of time not for thonaands but for millions of years. There may seem to be little difference. Indeed, between tbe views of one man who asserts that the age of the earth I* 200.00Q000 of-years aud those of anotlm- who Is content W|th xay, 100,000,000. Both deal with period* eff^tlme of inconceivably long duration, and. so far, tbe cubtroversy to removed without the confines of everyday .computation. But tbe problem'1* a nice one taken a* It stand*. The geologists have always stood out for Illimit­ able duration, or at k-ost. for periods which are so great that tbe ordinary mind la simply appalled by tbe attempt to compute them. It is tbe physicists, with their views regarding the cooling of a globe, who endeavor to place a curb on geological aspirations and demand*. Tbe geological time sheet has to -be complied differently, indeed, from tbe chronologies of man, It we reckon his­ toric*! events, we MChnate- the lap*e of time a'blch has occurred since their happening* In year*, if It were neceaaary. It would be may enough to calculate the hour* that have passed since, say. the great eruption of Vesuvius or the Roman invasion of Britain. This historical chronology takes us back, of course, to history's beginning. Beyond this Ils* tbe prehistoric period, where, in the lack of defi­ nite dates, we yet contrive, from the evidence of hiero­ glyphs and such like data, to eetimate correctly the times at parsons and events figuring In the early history of mam * When we pass backward* In time to the fossils which form the record of the rocks, there bare we to face tbe problem* of relative chronology. The geologist can only determine tbe age of a rock or other object of bls study by comparing It with some other formation. The age of tbe one has to be calculated In relation to a whole series of circumstances. If I say that the coal 1* a younger for­ mation than the old red sandstone. I know this to be true because Invariably the coal Ha* above the sandstone. In tbe succession of the rocks w* never meet with tbe old rad above tbe coal, and aa tbe older a rock the lower to its place In tbe earth’s crust, we thus settle the age of the one and the other relatively to it* position In the rind of our world. If in a certain series of rocks we And quite a different set and a higher rank of fossil animals and plants than in another series, we are justified in regarding tbe former as yrpresentlng younger strata than the latter. All through these considerations. It will be noted, there is no mention of years. Unless we could be sure of the periods required for rock formation. It would be Impossible to say in year* or historically how many ages hove elapsed since the coal was formed, or since tbe chalk "aroze out of tbe saure main" to form part of these islands of our*.

It could also propor­ tion the downpour-of rain In any oue locality to tbe needs of the soil and. tbe carrying capacity of tbe rivers, so a* to guard against ruinous floods, and insure the crops. All excess of waters could be directed ocean yard, or it could be shifted by-the help of the wind* to the desert of Bahars, thus giving to tbe elements an opportunity to express themselves freely and fully without, however. doing any damage. This commltti* could also, without greatly disturbing the course of nature, make all Bundays and holy days fair and pleasant. eonfln|ng. at th* same time, a* far .as practicable, al! rainfall* and wind nnd dust storms to the night hours—say from 12 o’clock midnight to 6 la the morn­ ing. This committee also conld eliminate sll uncertainty from tbe weather—that is to say. when it looks like rain, let It rain, and when it looks like fair let It be fair. This would make tbe weather more reliable than it now to, and thus do away with 50 per cent of our diMppointtnents. as well as save all wastage now due to tbe uncertainty of tbe weather. Another thing sueh a committee could do would be to make tbe seasons more seasonable. Let March be like March, and May be like May. By arranging against the sudden changes of temperature. Die committee would greatly Increase the comfort and shorten the Satalogue of Hu* maladies of the human race. The day we succeed In moralizing tbe weather, the gold­ en age of the world will bemigfa.

JEFFRIES IS THE VICTOR. Jerne* X Jeffries knocked out James J. Corbett in the tenth round of the fight for the heavy-weight championship afethe world Friday night in Mechanics* pavilion, In San Francisco, thus retain­ ing the title of championship which ho wrested from Bob Fitzsimmons. It was a terrific right-hand drive to tike pit of the stomach that settled Oorbett and sent him to the floor. A left­ hand book which landed to the region of the solar plexis preceded the right-hander and Corbett had just regained his feet and the pair had come together to a half­ clinch, when the champion rent in tho blow that won tbe fight for him. It. was a better Jeffries than ever that won—a man of tremendous strength and of surpassing quickness and cleverness. The stoutest blows of his antagonist En add now force and velocity don's rushes and his terrific orbett did his best, which i being good: Jeffries.did his iras better than he had ever was witnessed by a record crowd for Sen Francisco, the biggest in numbers and dollars that ever looked at a fight in that city. According to ‘the Yosemite Club’s figures tbe attendance waa 10.GG9 and the money taken in was IC2.340. Of this the fighters divide 70 per cent, Jeffries taking three-fourths and Corbett one-fourth. A most daring kidnaping took place near Sunbury. Iowa, late Sunday night, when Mrs. John Hiisrow, tbe wife of a wealth farmer living near Bennett, Iowa, was abducted, imprisoned to tbe 'cellar ot at de^-rted farm bauqAjnd a ransom of 180,000 dsenawied fervor release.. Sunday evening an unknown ttrangsr called at the home nnd told Mr. nod Mrs. Hitoruw that their eon, living at Walcott. Iowa, where he has been work­ ing on a Lwm. was very sick and that they were wanted at rhe bedside at once. They immediately drove off with the stranger. When they arrived within two miles of the village of Sunbury, Iowa, was thrown out of the buggy and told that be should bring I&O.UUO to a seclud­ ed spot near BanuctL He waa also told Chat if he told any of tho officers be would be killed. Tho man then drove on with Mrs. Hilorow for revernl miles until thtey-had ar­ rived opposite a corner school house. Here the kidnaper tied his horse and dragged tbe woman through a corn field to a deserted bouse, where she waa im­ prisoned in tbe cellar.' Tbe man then left and has not yet been found. Some time during the night Mrs. Hilo row escaped and was found in tho morn­ ing in tbe farm yard of Henry Hussar, a farmer near Sunbury, insane and very UL She was recognized by tbe wife of Mr. Rueser, and the news of her discov­ ery was at once telephoned to the Ben­ nett police. The case was then Investi­ gated, and after considerable difficulty, ro great was tbe old man’s feaf of the kidnaper, the facts were brought out. Mr. HBsrow offered the police $ 1.000 re­ ward -for the capture of the men, and the sheriff immediately collected a posse and started pursuit. Late in tbe afternoon a grip .with men’s clothing was found near tbe house and a little later a cane was found In the road. Tho cane was recognised as belonging to another well-known fanner named John Lee. When confronted with this evidence be stated that the eane had been stolen from him several days ago. Ho is not suspected of the crime. Mrs. Hilarow has been under tho cere of a doctor, and at times her life io de­ spaired of. At no time has' her mind been clear, and until she Is revived an accurate description of the man will not be secured, as Mr. Hllsrow did not see Che roan in tbe light. Are Cempliod With. Minister Conger, at Pekin, has secured a written promise from Prince Ching to sign on Oct. 8 a treaty with the -United States which will include a guaranty Chat Mukden and Tatungtao shall be open ports. The arrangement for tho signing of the treaty ends the stubborn reaiM­ awe by the Chinese, which for some time promised to be successful. Prince Ching made one defense aftei another until all were exhausted. He first argued Russian opposition to the opening of these ports. He than said that he was not informed that Russia had consented to the opening. Finally, be refured on tbe ground that China wee unable to open towns which ‘ by another power. When tlie present settlement was pro­ posed with the explanation that China must presume that Russia intended to fulfill ber evacuation - agreement Prince Ching reluctantly gave to. Mukden is an important port. Ta­ tungtao is a small port which does not promise much business to attract for­ eigners in tbe near future. Its opening Is mainly Important as a victory for the open-door principle. Bears the GRAND RAPIDS DIVISION Oust oats'* JFFALO CftSTORIR DETROIT 6 BUI STCKMBOAT H. R.

To tbe Senate and House of Representa­ tives: The country is to be congratulated on the amount ot substantial achievement which baa marked the past year both as regards our foreign and as regards our domestic policy. With a nation as with a man the most important things are fhooe of the house­ hold, and therefor* the country is eapeclally to be congratulated on what has been accomplished in the direction of providing for the exercise of supervision over the great corporations aud combi­ nations of corporations engaged in 'in­ terstate commerce. The Congress has created the Department of Commerce aud Labor, including the Bureau of Cor­ porations, with for the first time author­ ity to sqcure proper publicity of such proceedings of these great corporations ms the public hns the right to know. It han provided for the expediting of suitii for tne enforcement of the federal anti­ trust law; aud by another law it has secured equal treatment to all producers Ln the transportation of their goods, thus taking a long stride forward in making effective the work of the Interstate Com­ merce Commission. The establishment of the Department of Commerce and Lnbor, with the Bu­ reau of Corporations thereunder, marks a real Advance in the direction of doing all that is possible for the solution of tbe questions vitally affecting capitalists and wage workers. The preliminapwork of the Bureau of Corporations in the department haa shown the wisdom of iu creation. Publicity ia corporate affaire will tend to do away with iguorance, and will afford fneu upon which intelligent action may be taken. The Department ot Commerce and La­ bor will be not only the denting house for information regarding tlie busineaa tzansactious ot the nation, but the execu­ tlye arm of the government to aid in strengthening our domestic and foreign markets, in |>erfecting our transportation facilities, in building up our merchant marine, in preventing the entrance of undesirable immigrant* in improving commercial and industrial conditions, and Id bringing together on common ground those necessary partners in industrial government, so far aa It ba* the power. L. to bold in check the unscrupulous man, whether employer or employe; but to refuse to weaken individual initiative or to hamper or cramp tlie industrial de­ velopment of the country. We recognise that this Is an era of federation aud com­ bination. in which great capitalistic cor­ porations snd labor unions nave become factors of tremendous importance In all industrial centers. Hearty recognition is given the far-reaching, beneficent work which has been accomplished through both corporations and unions, and the line aa between different cotporationa, as between different unions, is drawn as it Is between different individuals; that is, ft ia drawu on conduct, the effort being to treat both organized capital and or ganlxed labor alike; asking nothing save that the Interest of each shall be brought into harmony with the interest of the general public, and that the conduct of each shall conform to the fundamental yules of_obedience to law, of individual towards alt Whenever either corpora­ tion, labor union or individual diere. garde the law or acU in a spirit of arbl’ trary and tyrannous interference with the rights of others, whether corporatione or individuals, then where the fed­ eral: government haa jurisdiction, it will sec to it that the misconduct Is stopped, paying not the slightest heed to the posi­ tion or power of the corporation, tlie union or the individual, but only to ong vital fact—that is, the question whether or not the conduct of the individual or must be guaranteed his liberty and hia right to do as be likes with his property or his labor, so long aa be does not in­ fringe the rights of others.

The expenditures for the same period were fb0G.0B*j,007, the sur­ plus for the fir.il year being 95^297,667. The indkatiou are that the surplus for tbe present fiscal year will be very small. If indeed there be any surplus. From July to November the receipts from cus­ toms were, spproximately, nine million dollars les* than the receipts from the sama source for a corresponding portion ilast year. Should this decrease con­ ns at the ekms ratio throughout the fiscal year, the surplus would be reduced hf. approxlmataly, thirty milUoa dollars. Should the revenue from customs suffer much further decrease during the fiscal year, tbe surplus would vanish. A large surplus is certainly undesirable. Two years ago theswar taxes were taken off with - the express intention of equalizing the governmental receipts and expendi­ tures, aud though the first year thereaf­ ter still showed, a surplus, it now seemk likely that a substantial equality of reve­ nue and expenditure will be attained. Such being the case, it ia of great mo­ ment both to exercise care and economy in appropriations,'-. and to scan sharply rny change in our fiscal revenue system which may reduce our income. The need of strict economy in our expenditures ia emphasized by the fact that we cannot nfford to be parsimonious iu providing for what is essential to our natiopal well­ being. Careful economy wherever possi­ ble will; alone prevent our income-from falling below the point required io order to meet our genuine needs. The integrity of our currency is be­ yond question, aud under present condi­ tions it would be unwise aud unneces­ sary to attempt a reconstruction of our entire monetary system. The same lib­ erty should be granted the Secretary of the Treasury to-deposit customs receipts aa is granted him in the deposit' of re­ ceipts from other sources, fn my mes­ sage of Dec. 2, 1902. I called attention to certain needs of the financial situation, and 1 again ask the consideration of the Congreaa for these questions. A majority of our people desire that steps be taken iu the lutereats of Amer­ ican whipping, ao that we may once more resume our former position in the ocean carrying trade. But hitherto the differ­ ences of opinion as to the proper method of reaching thia end have been so wide that it hns proved . impossible to secure the adoption of any particular scheme. Having iu view these facts, i recom­ mend that th* Congress direct tae Sec­ retary of the Navy, tlie Poathiaster Gen­ eral nnd the Secretary of Commerce nnd Labor, associated with such a representa­ tion from the Senate and House of Rep­ resentatives as tlie Congress iu iu wis­ dom may designate, to serve as a com­ mission for the purpose of Investigating and reporting to the Congress at its next Amerit'sn merchant marine and Ameri­ can commerce, aud incidentally of a na­ tional ocean mail service of adequate auxiliary naval cruisers and naval re­ serves. While such a measure is desira­ ble in any event. It la especially desira­ ble at this time. In view of the fact that our present _ governmental contract for ocean mail with the American Line will expire in 1005. Moreover, lines of cargo ships are of even more Importance than fust mail lines; save so far as th* latter can be depended upon to furnish awift auxiliary druisen in time of war. The establishment of new lines ot cargo ahipa to South America, to Aria, and else­ where would be much in the interest of our commercial expansion. We cannot have too much immigration of the right kind, aud we should have none at all of the wrong kind. The need ia to devise some system by which unde­ sirable Immigrants shall be kept out en­ tirely, while desirable immigrants are properly distributed throughout the coun­ try. Tho special investigation of tho sub* ject of naturalization under the direction of the Attorney General, and the conse­ quent prosecutions, reveal a condition of affairs calling for the Immediate atten­ tion of the Congress. Forgeries and per juries of shameless and flagrant charac­ ter hare been perpetrated, not only in the dense centers of population, but throughout the country; and it la estab­ lished beyond doubt that very many socalled citizens of the United States here no title whatever to that right, and are asserting and enjoying the benefits of the same through the grossest frauds. The body politic cannot be sound and healthy if many of Its constituent mem­ bers claim their standing through the prostitution of the high right and calling of citizenship. It should mean some­ thing to become a citizen of the United States; and in the process no loophole whatever should be left open to fraud. In my last annual message, in connec­ tion with the subject of the due regula­ tion of combinations of capital which are or may become Injurious to tbe public, I recommended a special appropriation for die better enforcement of the anti-truet law as it now stands, o be expended un- I der tbe direction of the Attorney Gen­ eral. Accordingly the Congress appro­ priated the sum of five hundred thousand dollars, to be expended under the direc- slon of the purposes of thia appropria­ tion, so that it may be available, under the direction of the Attorney General, and until used, for the due enforcement of the laws of tbe United States in gen­ eral and especially of tbe elvil and crim­ Inal laws relating to public lands snd the laws relating to postal crimes and offenses aud the subject of naturalize* tion. Recent Investigations, have shown a deplorable state of affairs in these three matters- ot vital Concern. By various frauds and by forgeries and perjuries, thousands'of acres of the public domain, embracing lands of dif­ ferent character and extending through various sections of the country, have been dishonestly acquired.

A feeling of security at once took tbe place of the former alarm and disquiet; our officers were cordially welcomed by the consular body and the leading merchants, and ordinary business resumed Its activity. The Government of Acini who was regarded ns responsible for tbe disturbed condition of affairs waa re­ moved. Our relations with tbe Turkish Government remain friendly; our claims founded on Inequitable treatment of some of our schools and missions appear to be In process of amicable adjustmeut. Tbe signing of a new commercial treaty with China, which took place nt Shanghai on the 8th of Uclober, ia a cause for satis­ faction. This net, the result of long dis­ cussion and negotiation, places our com­ mercial relations with tbe great Oriental Empire on a more satisfactory footing than they have ever heretofore enjoyed. It pro­ vides not *aly fur th* ordinary rights and privileges of diplomatic and consular Offi­ ce ra, bpt also for an Important extension of our commerce by lucreneed facility of access to Chinese porta, and for tbe relief of trade by tbe removal of some of the obstacles which have embarrassed it in the past. The full measure of develop­ ment which our commerce may rightfully expeet can hardly be looked for until tbe settlement of the present abnormal alate of things in tbe Empire; but the founda­ tion for such development baa at last been laid. steadily extended. The attention of tbe Congress is yaked to tbe question of the compensation of the letter carriers and clerks engaged in the postal service, espe­ cially on tbe new rural frce-dellvery routes. More routes have been installed since the Brat of July last than In any like period In the Department's history.

In the summer of 1803 Copt. John Whistler, U. S. A., ihen stationed in Detroit, was ordered to take bis com­ pany to Chicago, to occupy the post and build a fort. The summer and autumn were occupied in the building of the fort, which was named after Gen.

Aug. 15, 1812, occurred the massacre of Fort Dearborn, when out of 68 men and 32 women and children who left the fort under the escort of the alleged friendly Indiana, only 25 men and II women and children escaped death. The following day the fort waa burned and in 1816 waa rebuilt. The worst disaster wMeh ever visited the city was the .great fire of 1871. which devoured three and a half square miles of the beat portion of the city. It ata its way over a territory four miles in length nnd a mile and a quarter in width. The buildings destroyed were 17.450, and nearly 100.000 persons were left home­ less.

AUecently wtrelesk messages have been sent to and from mirJtug trains: on the. Berlln-Lossen military road. It is not probable that perfect secrecy ever will be attained. The message is, *o to speak, trumpeted out to the world, and uD who have ears may boar it. And these ears—the receiver— if not already In tune may be attuned without much diffi­ culty. Indeed, by the use of a sensitive microphone con­ tact. any message may be read without tuning. The waves may perhaps be confined to a definite direction by mirrors and lenses, but it will be tong before they can thus be kept together as well ai tbe beam of a flashlight, and even that scatters widely. Dr. Zenneck has proved that a sec­ ond vertical wire as long as the sending wire, erected near it and connected to earth.

OBITUARY. Young Plants Every farmer knows that some plants grow better than ethers. Soil may be the same and seed may seem the same bat some plants are weak and others strong. And thats the way with children. They are like young plants. Same food, same home, same care but some grow big and strong while others stay small and weak. Scott's Emulsion offers an easy way out of the difficulty. Child weakness often means starvation, not because of lack of food, but because the food does not feed. Scott’s Emulsion reallyfeeds and gives the child growing strength. Whatever the cause of weak­ ness and failure to grow— Scott’sEmulsion seems to find it and set the matter right.

At other points scattered about the big barn forty men were at work or asleep. The big structure was in semi-darkness, with the exception of the little office, where brilliant illumination was necessary to count th* money and make up the books. Suddenly there was a slight crarff, oc­ casioned by a breaking window paneThrough the aperture and beneath a heavy wire grating that served as a pro­ tection to tbe windo wtfie stumpy black muxxle of a Colt magazine revolver was thrust.

Abandon­ ing their ambuscade nt the window, the robbers rushed into the barn and on to the entrance to the room where their victims lay.

Each sport Is set for a special time and is expected to take place strict.' r according to schedule. Do not expect any waiting. It is absolutely essential that all intending to participate be ou hand in ea»/ reach of the announcer from elevated platform. Never before in all the history ot the Eaton County Fair has there been so complete a list of Sports suggested and snch generous prizes offered. Tbe management em­ phasizes tbe strict adherence to prognun. Do not expect anyone to look you up, but if you desire to take part be vady at the moment named. When a show corner to town you come with a whole family and think nothing of paying 50 cents for general admlMion, 25 cent? for reserved seal, 10 cents for the after concert, 30 cents for aide shows, 10 cents for the latest song book and tbe balance of 91.50 each for your family and, ten to one. you get yonr pocket picked or are beaten out of a V on some "dead sure" game. Yet bt the great Wallace Show, recently held in' charlotte, they bad no anon thing as "Looping the Loop" and the “Uycie Whirl"—attractions which We could not have hoped to get except for the liberality of oome of Charlotte's business men. The Fair management have reason to expect a general attend­ ance from ail sections where this pro­ gram is circulated, because nowhere on earth can oue get so much for his Money aa at the Fair at Charlotte. Running Races This Year. Lovers of speed will be glad to note that the liberal prises for speed this year include running as well as trotting. Including specials the purees will ag­ gregate 91500. Three trotting, two pacing, two running, and several spe­ cials, besides r "free for all” trot or pace with puree of 9250. For particulars con­ cerning races write F. Z. Hamilton, Supt. of Speed, Charlotte. The Woman’s Council. Everybody is invited to this council of earnest, thoughtful people. You will get rested as well as refreshed mentally at these meetings. Write to Miss EL JJohnson, Charlotte, for program.

His family will not move until some time later. Miss Stella Higgins of Bellevue, who has been visiting her grand­ parents, Mr. and Mrs. D. J. Fitch, and other friends the past week, has left for Shelby, where she will teach the high school again the comming year. Mr. fend Mrs. Jake McCrea and son Clyde of McBrides visited at Dr. R. P.

John Ackett will hold an auction sale at his farm one and one-half miles south and a mile east of Nash­ ville on Tuesday, September 22. The sale will commence at ten o’clock, and a large list of stock and farming utensils will be sold. H. E. Downing will be the auctioneer. Wesley Williams, living near Day­ ton Corners, northeast of town, will certainly have a lot of fun this fall husking his pumpkins: as the sample he pave to Dr. R. P.

A report comes from Eagle town­ ship in Ionia county that a number of wealthy farmers in that township have been touched up* for various sums, ranging from 8100 up to 8500, by an agent for a Chicago get-rich-qulck concern. It Im stated that an agent who was formerly a resident of Eagle came from Chicago about three months ago and offered his friends an opportunity to invest their hard earned money with a company that would pay interest at the rate of 3 per cent a month. The interest was to have been paid monthly. Some of the investors claim to have received their dividends for she first month, but others, among them a man who invested 8500, borrowed money, have received nothing, although the com­ pany is lavish with Ite promises. Those who run may read the moral of this story. Editor News. Inasmuch as there seems to be a somewhat prevalent be­ lief in this and Eaton counties that Dr. L. F. Weaver of Charlotte per­ formed the surgical operation upon Mrs. J. L. Weber on August 23, also upon L. W. Felghner on September 8, and in justice to myself, be kind enough to say, through the columns of your- valuable paper that your humble servant, and not Dr. Weaver, did both of the aforesaid operations. I very much dislike to appear to wish tq rush into print to vaunt, my profeuional abilities, and were it-not for the fact that no le«6 than three Char­ lotte papers contain articles stating that Dr. Weaver performed the opera­ tion for Mr. Felghner; and were it not for the further fact that it is v®y common street gossip that he did the operation, I certainly would not say a word, but when people so far forget themselves and appear so lost to common courtesy as to circulate an untruth, apparently for the pur­ pose of attempting to hoist one man upon tbe pinicle of fame at the ex­ pense of belittling someone else. I certainly consider it high time for the man so belittled to resort to tbe rather questionable alternative of placing their names in print. I only ask for simple, bare justice in the matter, and surely the truth should injure no one. R. P.

Beirut la the chief. seaport of Syria and one of tbe most thriving cities in Asiatic Turkey. The old town is badly built and unattractive, but many of the suburbs contain handsome residences. There ore numerous European business bouses, schools sod churches in the city.The industrial and commercial growth of Beirut has been rapid of late years. Its chief manufactures are silk and cot­ ton fabrics and gold and silver articles. The surrounding country yields large quantities-of silk, cotton aud tobacco, much of which l> exported. Tbe prin­ cipal article* of import are foodstuffs and wearing apparel. Though the harbor is deficient in site and depth, compelling Inr steam communication is had with Great Britain, Austria-Hungary and oth­ er countries of Europe. The coaetwtee trade Is in tbe hands of the Turks. Beirut is the seat of many religious dignitaries. Including a Greek -bishop, a Maronite archbishop and a papal dele­ gate. There are twenty-three mosques and tfrirty-oight Christian churches of va­ rious denominations, the chief mosque being an old church built by the cru­ saders.

Sound £rdr^eZs strain out from the blood, diseased kidneys do not, hence you are sick. FOLEY’S KIDNEY CURE makes the kidneys well so they will eliminate the poisons from the blood. It removes the cause of the many diseases resulting from disordered kidneys which have allowed, your whole system to become poisoned. Rheumatism, Bad Blood, Gout, Gravel, Dropsy, Inflammation of.the Bladder, Diabetes and Bright’s Disease, and many others, are all due to disordered Kidneys. A simple test for Kidney disease is to set aside your. urine in a bottle or glass for twenty-four hours. If there is a sediment or a cloudy appearance, it indicates that your kidneys are diseased, and unless something is done they become more and more affected until Bright’s Disease or Diabetes develops. w FOLEY’S KIDNEY CURE is the only preparation which will positively cure ail forms of Kidney and Bladder troubles, and cure you peftnanently. It is a safe remedy and certain in results. H Ymi ar* • soffarar, taka FOLEY'S KIDNEY CURE at aaoa. K will nuke yaa we*. Smm PrawoM* iMirabto Rad Lntac* a»d KHaa, TraaH* Mr. G. A.

Over the top of the barrel Is placed a frame, covered with the finest mesh wire obtainable. Thia will keep out vermin and small animal*, and yet permit sufficient air to circulate over the water to prevent it from becoming stagnant.

Organisation of the faivncni of the country into a vast co-operation associa­ tion was successfully effected in th* fir* meeting of the’ ,"advisory board" ap­ pointed by the convention which held a session in the Grant! Pacific Hotel, Chi­ cago. The board, which at present con­ sists of six member*, representing three societies devoted to tbe agricultural intorests of different'sections, will begin a recruiting cmupaign among other organ­ isations of a similar tharaeter. planning to enlist every farmers* society in th* work. _ According to the motion under which tbs adviiory board was apiwinted, each organization which throw* it* interest with tbe co-operative association is en­ titled. while' maintaining It* distinctive Individuality and membership, to two representative* upon the central body, called for Hie present the “advisory board." Since die announcement of this intention nine other organizations in the middle West have applied for member­ ship. The headquarerw of the l«>ard will be in Chicago during this preliminary Mage, and the work of enlisting the sympathy of thfe nation's farmer* with the move­ ment will l»e continued, with Chicago as a center, until the first of December, at the o|>euiDg of the annual live stock show, at which rime every society which ha* manifreted its intention ot joining will send two delegates a* members of the board. From this numlwr an executive committee will lie elected which will take In hand the working out of the details of co-operation. Fifty farmees* associations ■re expected to be allied to the move­ ment by that time. The avowed obj««ct of tbe association is to regulate distribution, placing this func­ tion in the hands of the farmer* themMires instead of the "middlemen." This will make necessary the construction of elevators nnd warehouses throughout the country. Discussion of capitalization, so that thi* would be possible, occupied much of the time of th* convention. State repreMntatives or correspond­ ents have been appointed by the ad­ visory board iu every State in the coun­ try to assist in tbe task of enlisting the farmer* as individuals and the fanners' associations in tbe movement.

Public opinion is not ripe, he insists, for a tax bn foodstuffs. Mr. Chamberlain agree* -with this. He admits in hia letter of resignation that for the present a tax on foodstuffs, however small, “would be unacceptable to the majority ot the con­ stituencies.” Still, he is convinced that the good of the ampin* demands the adoption of his policy, so he will get out­ side of the cabinet aud work for it with might and main. . * Here is an extraordinary situation in­ deed.

Whatever his personal or polk leal popularity, the very fact that he ia President attracts the attention of the diseased Intellects which seek to redrew fancied wrongs or gain notoriety by the killing of persona in high places. The public has not the least idea of the greet number of dangerous cranks who are turned aside by tbe President'* body­ guard of secret service men. As fsr a* possible these incidents are withheld from the newspapers. The cranks are not arrested unless they have committed some overt act which khowa them to be dangerous persona.

For several weeks, »otne news­ papers assert, the treaty ha* been used as a blackmailing device for forcing the Freucb Panama Canto Company to give up * portion of the HO.OJU.DOU it was to receive from the United States for Its -plsix, conctwaiuus and completed chan­ nel. The report that the GulombiatM- •»rtouAly contemplatOd •'bolding up" ths United States for a larger bonus has nev<r teen fully authenticated, although . -there was doubtless a disposition to de- ’ nuind better terms from this government until they were advised by the-J&ate De­ partment, through Minister Beaupre, that no tetter offer would be mode for the canal concession. The expiration of the time limit for ths ratilicatioo of the treaty, and the discus­ toon of- the probable course of the Presi­ dent and the future status of the Panama route, naturally call public attention to the act of Congress under which the treaty was negotiated. This act was poMtcri at the first aewdon of the Fifty­ seventh Congress, and was approved June 2S. 1902. \ It aathorixen the pay­ ment of 840.000.000 to the Panama Canal Company for Its plant, concessions . and nufinito.ed work, and the acquirement by the President from the republic of Colombia "upon such terms as he may deem reasonable" of a perpetual central of a canal strip. It provides for the ap­ pointment of a canal commfssioc totoave ehar.-e of construction, for preliminary appropriation and for the bond issue to defray expwiera. ' ' Section 4,-which is now the bone of .-contention between those who favor the Paunmn route -and tbore who wish the rrvsident to turn to the Nicaragua route, provides "that should the President be unable to obtain for tee United States a satisfactory title to tee property of the Panama Canal Company and the con­ trol of the necessary territory of the republic of Colombia, and the rights mentioned in sections 1 and 2 of the aet, .within a reasonable time and upon rea­ son able terms, then the Preflident shill," after having negotiated a satisfactory treaty with Nicaragua and Corta Ries, direct the .canal commission to proceed with the excavation of a canal by the Nicaragua route. It is contended by some that the lan­ guage of this section makes It obligatory upon the President to open negotiations ' with Nicaragua and Casta Rica nt once, ami that the Panama route muat be abandoned. It 4s difficult to see how such a construction cau be put upon the pULi language of this section of the canal act. It says that rhould the Presi­ dent be unable to secure the control of a canal atrip "within n reasonable time and upon reasonable terms" he shall open tip negotiations for a canal treaty with Nlcnrngua and .Costa Rica. Wbltt i» means by "a reasonable time." whether six month* or two years, is left to the judgment of the President The Colombian government has signified through Dr. Herran a desire to renew negotiation*.

Habemi corpus proceedings were com­ menced and the prisoners ordered into court. Judge Seers rendered his decis­ ion. maintaining the supremacy of the civil law and oixlering the troops to de­ liver the prisoners to the sheriff. Gen. Chase, the military commander, was in court. On the receipt of the order he em-phasixed hla contempt for the court bj instantly proclaiming in a loud teice the order to fall in. The prisoners were compelled to tsk< their places in the line, and the entire contingent marched out of the door with guns ready to shoot in defense of their prisoners. ' , As the troops started from the room there was a moment of intense anxiety, aggravated by the fainting of the wife of Sherman Parker. Every nerve was. drawn to the-utmost tension as the situa­ tion dawped upon the people. A declara­ tion from the court would have led to an outbreak that would have teen produc­ tive of the bloodiest consequencefl.- but the word failed to come, and the military passed out of the doors and returned to Goldfield, where they have headquarters. Gov. Peabody said afterward that the decision of Judge Seers would be respect­ ed. He stated that "the formal order In the case would be Issued from headquar­ ters In the field. Gov. Peabody also said that this would apply to all prispnera that may be taken hereafter. ’ He declin­ ed to say what course would bexpureued In the event that the ciaril authorities failed to prosecute the men who are charged with crimes.

' Much has been done of lat^_veers In science to attack disease with Its own weapons. My read­ ers may not know what Is meant by tbe "serum" treatment. It represents tbe attempt of science to hoist microbes with -their own petard. A horse is Inoculated with the microbes of diphthe­ ria. The animal remains strong aud w^H under this treatment. Then In blood drawn from it we find developed In course of time what \^e call the "autl-toxln" of the disease. Tbe germs multiplying in' the serum or fluid of tbe-blood have given rise to this new •ubstance. When tbe latter Is Inoculated Into a child suf­ fering from diphtheria It cures the little patient. The anti­ toxin acta ujxjn the microbes causing fell disorder,, pro­ duces reaction In the child, with the result that the disease is checked aud recovery made possible. It Is the application of this same principle to tubercu­ losis which forms the subject of Professor Behring's re­ searches. Dr. Koch, at the great congress held In 1901, maintained that tuberculosis in the cow was a different disease from that found in man. Gn this belief be founded bls declaration that the milk of a tuberculous cow, laden •with germs, could sot produce the disease In. aay, a child fed on the milk. Needless to say. this dictum ;was dis­ puted. and it . now fairly well ascertained that tbe dice A88END8 THE HIGHEST PEAK. were directed to the solution of the opposite question apparently. He prepared a pare culture of the bacilli of .human tubercle. Thia be used to inoculate the row. Tbe bsrllll were so treated that they retained their full measure ot dlsegse producing quali­ ties, /Inoculated with this human culture. tbe cow was proved to be proof against Infection from It* own kind. Tbe younger the animal experimented upon the more MSdent waa Ibe protection afforded. , Now, there follows upon this result another of much im­ portance It seems that rows so treated develop in their milk some principle or other wblqh baa tbe effect of ren­ dering children fed upon It insusceptible to tubercular at­ tack. ,If we can be assured on this point a great advance will have been made toward the prevention, of the disease In early life, aiwutnlng. of course, that tuberculosis »■ capa­ ble of being caused in' young cbiklren by the giving to them of milk fronreows whose udders are affected. Wheth­ er tbe same result would follow in the case of adults Is a matter awaiting further InvrstlgaUou.-but at least a great gain would accrue to tb^ civilized world if tuberculosis were -made Itnpolialbla of conveyance through the medium of a fluid so universally used as milk. HEROES AND HEROINES IN HUMBLE Lift ■ Carlyle .in hia essay on' heroes seems to regard ppwt r and ita exercise as tbe chief requisites of heroism, .and to Ignore or minimize motives and moral qualities. Emerson uses the words hero, heroic, end heroism in a broader and more philo­ sophical sense. Happily, be was free from preju­ dice, Intensity and narrowness. He was the priest of the universal, and In blr calm, unlm.pqsaloned thought he forgot the tempon! and trival. and'dwelt chlefiy on the permanent. ‘ Beneath his vigorous ayd Incisive words may be seen tbe everlasting calm of a majestic soul in whose uufatbomed depths gen­ tleness. peace, and a sublime trust forever dwelt He says: -Heroism speaks tbe truth; it jk Just, generous, hospitable, temperate, scornful of petty calculations; It feels and never reasons,' and therefore la always right." / It is higher conception of the'real essence of hero­ ism which Chauncey Depew had in mind when he said: •The world in all ages has worshiped Its heroes, but the standard of heroism has always been improslng. We reckon heroism to-day not so much on account of the thing done as for the motive behind tbe ac£” Were we to test the doughty deeds of many whose brows have been crown­ ed with the laurel wreaths of fame; who have been recog­ nized as the world's great heroes, by this, higher standard, wherein the motive as well ns tbe deed is a factor, what a shriveling of heroes, what a shrinkage of heroic deeds would result. Were beneficent motives considered an In­ dispensable element In heroic achievements, conquerors who have waded through seas of blood; klnga aud em­ perors who have won thrones by treachery and assassina­ tion; statesmen who have reduced duplicity and mendacity to a science; all the ambitious, unscrupulous destroyers of mankind would descend from their lofty pedestals, leaving the places of honor wrongfully usurped to be more worthily filled by those who have wroughtrdeeds of true grestneM, Inspired only ly the divine altruism which teaches self­ abnegation aud self-sacrifice. How many heroic souls, ob­ scure nnd unknown, whose names have perished from re­ membrance. were wrought and fashioned In nature’s dlvlnest mold, and have made their lives sublime by gracious deeds. God has vouchsafed to the world no choicer bless­ ing than the unconscious heroes and heroines who give to earth its greatest charm, and without whose presence heaven would-suffer Irreparable loss.

The rooms were tastily dooorated with flowers and potted plants. The ceremony took place in the front room, which was decorated with white and green,’ and, was. performed by ‘ Rev. Albert Smith. The bride and. groom were unattended. 7 After tfce ceremony the party re­ paired to the dining room, in which the decorations were red, and asters, dahlias and carnations were every­ where in profusion. A dainty dinner was served after which the company were very lavish with congratulations and. a general-good time was enjoyed. The bride looked very pretty in & beautiful gowjfbf light blue silk voile. The happy couple left that night for Grand Rapids, Where they will make their future home at 448 South Ionia street, Mr. Coate being foreman in. the Keeler Brass factory, which positioh he has held! many years.

All of the attractions that were billed for Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday will be given on Saturday as well. A number from here will go over today and tomorrow. Agents for steel ranges are again canvassing Michigan offering what they claim as rock bottom prices. Some of these stoves may be'all right, but the majority are of inferior quality, al­ though plentifully supplied with showy nickel trimmings to aid their sales. Farmers should be very wary of these men. Buy of your home dealers who cannot, and would not If_he could af­ ford to, misrepresent his wares to you. He does business year after year at the “same old stand” white the agent blossoms for a day or so, then fades to be seen no more. The death of George ^rumm oc­ curred at his home northwest of the village Wednesday afternoon at about half past three o'clock, caused by tuberculosis of the bowels. He had been ailing for the past year and was confined to his bed about six weeks. Mr. Brumm came to Michigan about thirty-flve years ago and was nearly seventy-flve years old at the time of hie death. He was the father of nine children, six of whom with his wife survive, as follows: Emma, Mrs. C. F. Wilkinson; Ed, P. H., Coy; Roy and Eva, Mrs. Exner. Those dead are William, Bertha, Mrs.Thos. Purkey; and Frank. The funeral will be held Sunday from bis late home and the services will be con­ ducted by* Rev. F. E. Armstrong. The remains will be interred in Lake­ view cemetery. Mr. Brumm was a large-hearted, whole-souled man who was greatly loved by many friends. He was honest In all his dealings and thereby the community mourns the loss or an honorable man. Every town has a few gossips who delight in defaming the character of some one and they seem to think that it is their life’s work to pick out the flaws in other people’s habits and tell them, often magnifying and adding enough to them to put the marks of scandal on their story, and Nashville has its share. They are always busy and hard to battle with. If in wan­ dering down life’s dusty highway, an Sg sucking hound howls at you from • underbrush, just ride on without noticing the cur. The growl of dogs is music to the cars of the canine species, but humans can hardly afford to pay any attention 'to it. Of course it takes moral courage to go right on your way just as though there was not a growling dog in the world, for some people will impugn your motives and say you are afraid to shy a stone at the hound and that your silence is a confession of guilt. But if your char­ acter Is worth anything it will refute the noise of the-canine with everybody whose good opinion is worth having. He who touches filth will be defiled and he who lies down with dogs gets up with fleas. A man giving his name as Bos­ worth was in this vicinity recently selling remedies ( ?) to the unsuspect­ ing, ailing community and reports are just beginning to come in as to how he worked Lis game and sold his medicine. In the first place be is endowed with a smooth tongue and was able to make a num­ ber believe his medicine indispensable to them, but very often, to make a tale, he told them that Von W. Fur­ hiss was his agent and he had de­ posited money with him to be paid to them if the medicine did not prove satisfactory after they had given it a trial. A number bought the medicine and after using it and finding it waa a "fake” came to Mr. Furniss and de­ manded their money back and by the way they have been “reporting” it would seem that he was eminently successful in seper Ming a lot of peo­ ple from their money. Mr- Furniss informs us that he never had any dealings with the man whatever fur­ ther than to allo* him to leave three bottles of his medicine there on con­ signment.

Fruit growers are quite interested In the formula composing the new In­ secticide. lime and sulphur, but bat*e toued the labor of making it coribuigrable because of the necessity for boil­ ing tlx? mixture. Recent exjicrlmentv have shown that if potash or c»’istlc •oda Is used there will be no pieces-, slty for belling. Tbe formula for mak­ ing in this way la this: Take ‘.wenty pounds of sulphur, forty ppi.nds of lime, five pounds of caustic e/*da and ■i.’ty gallon* of water. Majtw a, thin pa .e of the sulphur and di»4ol^e tbe ca tittle soda In water. l.i slaking the lime, use only enpugh water, to make It boll rapid!?. During the process of flaking, pour Into tbe lime the sulphur paste, and then the caustic soda solution, adding water If necessary, and stirring rapidly until all bubbling stops, when dilute’ with •water to tbe consistency and strength needed for the spraying. The use of this materlnl in spraying la not only a decided check on seal*, but very ef­ fective against various insects. Ap plications may be made In tbe late . fall, in midwinter add tn the early spring. To keep well sweet potatoes should be dug when tbe roil Is quite dry and afterward spread thin to cure for ten days at least In an outbuilding secure from rain and frost. Road dust onethird of which Is composed of fine sand is best for packing In. Place a layer of dust In the bottom of box or barrel or whatever Is used td pack in, then a. layer of potatoes, being careful to cov­ er every potato completely with dust before adding tbe next layer. Tbe last layer is dust. We keep trweet potatoes In this njanner nil winter, and they si-em as fresh aa when first packed. We keep them In an outhousa unUl severely cold weather, merely coveringthe boxes with carpeting, etc. When severe cold sets in they ore removed to a room where a fire is kept part of the day only. Failure to keep well Is often due to too much beat or packing away In too warm materials.—Cor. Ohio Farmer.

Roller process bran is, on the aver­ age. better than old process bran. Bran is rich In ash, or mineral matter, which renders H a suitable food for growing animals. It serves well with all foods which are. lacking in line or bone forming material, and is valuable in the manure heap. It may not be equal to lln<e*d meal or some other foods, for certain purposes, but it is a food that snoidd always be used. A city boy la greener In the coun­ try than the country boy Is In the city.

THREE FULL CLAIMS LOCATED IN THE GREAT THUN­ DER MOUNTAIN MINING DISTRICT, ROOSEVELT, IDAHO Of which the United States Surveyor General made repdMOo the United States Land Commissioner as follows: - “Tbe Thunder Mountain R trict in tbe United States. is certain soon to be known as the Richest Mineral Dis­ seamed with Mineral Lodes of Great Width and Riches.” Tbe Rainbow Gold Mining Company owns three full claims along the widest and best defined lode In this district of wide Veins. The Gold Bearing Vein crossing these claims is 50 feet wide and 2100 teet long. Every foot of depth of this immense vein yields 7000 tons of free milling ore worth by actual test not less than *35,000.00. This vein, where out by streams and gulches is shown to be hundreds of feet above water level and pay-ore all the way. No’ one knows tow many thousand feet it extends below but there is Enough ore above to-last for generations. This vein has been opened this summer 200 feet deep by a tunnel 150 feel long, actually proving up 100,000 tons of gold ore worth at least 8500,000.00. ~ . This mine was located by our fellow townsman, George Wertz, who was early on the ground and selected this group of claims for its great value and favorable location for cheap and rapid pro­ duction. There is no free stock, every member paid for bls shares and is interested only In the success of the mine aa no salaries are allowed. ' A small Hock of stock, not to exceed 30,000 shares, is now offered investors, the proceeds to be .used for blocking out ore for-the mill to be erected next summer.

Unless they are, good health Is Impossible Every drop of blood in the body passes through and is filtered by healthy kidneys every three minutes. Sound kidneys strain out the impurities from the blood, diseased kidneys do not, hence you are sick. FOLEY'S KIDNEY CURE makes the kidneys well so th»y will eliminate the poisons from the blood. It removes the cause of the many diseases resulting from disordered kidneys which have allowed your whole system to become poisoned. Rheumatism, Bad Blood, Gout, Gravel, Dropsy, Inflammation of the Bladder, Diabetes and Bright’s Disease, and many others, are all due to disordered Kidneys. A simple test for Kidney disease is to set aside your urine in a bottle or glass for twenty-four hours. If there is a sediment or a cloudy appearance, it indicates that your kidneys are diseased, and unless something is done they become more and more affected until Bright’s Disease or Diabetes develops. FOLEY'S KIDNEY CURE is the only preparation which will positively cure all forms of Kidney and Bladder troubles, and cure you permanently. It is a safe remedy and Certain in results. Mr. G. A. StiUson. merchant of Tampico, III., writea: “FOLEY’S KIDNEY CURE is meeting with wonderful success. It has cured some cases here that physicians pronounced incarable. I myself am able to testify to its merits..

MAY REDUCE WAGES That a reduction in wage* is possibte to the men employed in the Homestead mills of the Carnegie Steel Company waa made known Friday by the posting of a notice by the company that on Jan. 1, 1904. there would be a readjustment in the wage* of the employes. Officiate of the' company claim the notice does not necessarily mean any change in the ity of a change being necessary it was deemed best to protect tbe i nt arete of the' company by posting the notice. Ever since the strike of 1892 an agree­ ment to this effect ha* been in force be­ tween the company and each of- the mill workers In care either side was dissat­ isfied with the existing scale agreemert It was stipulated that they must give at leart three months' notice of this fact preckHng the firm of the year, when the matter would be taken up and a now agreement entered into. During the last four-years there has been no dispositionon the part of the Carnegie Company tn change the agreement, but on several oc­ casion* it has advanced the wages of the men voluntarily beyond the rate agreed upon, until at present they are being paid the highest wages In ten year*. However, the recent deprenlon in business baa mad* it necessary for tiro company to give the required notice of • change in the wage scale. While it te not stated a reduction will be n»de,-lt te thought by some that this te the proba­ ble intention, and. tbe posting of the no­ tices has been the thetne of considerable MANY SHACKLES MAY FALL On o' decision which will probably ba filed in St. Pan! during the October team of the United States Circuit Court of Ap­ peals depends the freedom of every mili­ tary and guardhouse prisoner in tbe United States, Tbe decision may break the shackle* of a thousand men.

THREE FULL CLAIMS LOCATED IN THE GREAT THUN DER MOUNTAIN MINING DISTRICT, ROOSEVELT, IDAHO Of which the United States Surveyor General made report to the United States Land Commissioner as follows: “The Thunder Mountain^cgion is ce;tain soon to be known a*, the Richest Mineral Dis­ trict In the United States. It Is seamed with Mineral Lodes of Great Width and Riches.’’ The Rainbow Gold Mining Company owns three full claims along the widest and best defined lode in this district of wide veins. The Gold Bearing Vein crossing these claims is 50 feet wide and 2100 feet long. Every foot of depth of this immense,vein yields 7000 tons of free milling ore worth by actual test not less than $35,000.00. This vein, *bere cut by streams and gulches is shown to be hundreds of feet above water level and pay-ore all the way. No one knows how many thousand feet it extends below but there is enough ore above to last for generations. This vein has been opened this summer 200 feet deep by a tunnel 150 feet long, actually proving up 100,000 tons of gold ore worth at least $500,000.00. This mine was located by our fellow townsmen. George Wertz, who was early on the ground and selected this- group of claims for its great value and favorable location for cheap and rapid pro­ duction. ' There is no free stock, every member paid for his shares and is interested only in tbe success of the mine as no salaries nre allowed. A small block of stock, not to exceed 30,000 shares, is now offered investors, the proceeds to be ujed for blocking out ore for the mill to be erected next'summer.

It is seamed with Mineral Lodes of Great Width and- Ricbea.** The Rainbow Gold Mining Company owns three full claims along tbe widest and best defined lode in this district of wide veins. The Gold Bearing Vein crossing these claims is 50 feet wide and 2100 feet long. Every foot of depth of this immense vein yields 7000 tons of free milling ore worth by actual test not less than 135,000.00. This vein, where cut by streams and gulches Is shown to be hundreds of feet above water level and pay-ore all the way, No one knows how many thousand feet it extends below bu. there Is enough ore above to last for generations. This vein has been opened this summer 200 feet deep by a tunnel 150 feet long, actually proving np 100,000 tons of gold ore worth at least 1500,000.00.

Everts, �/ S3 If itely a day ------------ — Kf Hou of interurban electric railways ba* worked FI a notable change In tbe character of rural com'f.1 inanities. Before these roads were constructed K [>eople living bi the country made only occasional y visits to the city, while even.to the Inhabitants L at the town* and villages along steam railroad R Hues tbe trip was attended with so much Incon­ I vcnlence it was rarely made. Now any one llv; within fifty to eighty miles of Cincinnati.' Columbus, rreland, Detroit. Ipdianapolis. or Chicago may leisurely imey to his metropolis, spend several hours in marketing in transacting other business, and reach his home tbe Not only hare these helps transportation made local travel more convenient and more saving of time, but they have changed materially the character of small towns and Cities. More than this, they have affected tbe tastes and tbe manners and customs of the people. It is always true that one opportunity breds a desire for more opportunities. Tbe rural citizen who can now visit Chicago once a week with less inconvenience titan four tripe a year gave him before the electric roads were built ha* come to accommo­ date himself to the ways and tbe tastes of the city. He has unconsciously absorbetl much of tbe life of tbe city, and many of Its tastes have become Ills own. Travelers in the rural dlstricta of Arkansas or the moun­ tains of North Carolina and southern Kentucky have no■ deed that while the children have almoet uniformly bright, pretty faevs. tbe men and women seem altogether dispir­ ited and lacking tn intelligence. ’These people never touch the life;of the cities. Seldom do they go beyond the con­ fines of their own stony plantations, for roads are too poor for travel even on horseback. The women almost never visit even the smaller towns, aud the Ideas that prevail are lhe ideas of fifty years ago. Here the effect of the separa­ tion of the city from the country is seen ct its maximum. To the extent, that the life pf the centers.of activity can be shared with tbo less populated district*, the civilization of the entire country will be en bn need. Of little less Importance is tbe opportunity, for recrea-. tion. with its beneficial effect upon the health and happiness of bard working people. I’nrtlcularly ts thia true of the busy housewives, whose little journeys are no longer of such rare occurrence as to be epochs. The actual toll of tbe average farmer’s wife Is not half so bard to bear as its monotony. This development Is not dpe to one movement alone, and tbe beneficial effect of the extension of postal rural d<Jvery routes and tbe building of telephone lines in tbe fanning districts must be admitted. But above and beyond this, the traction lines reaching out from our large cities have prob­ ably been of more value In the development of our smaller towns nnd villages than any other agencies now at w-^rk. 1NDIAN CRUELTY IS NOT ERAD1CABLF. All that the United States authorities and vnrious societies have done does not take from the Indian that cruelty which la inbred, and clings to. him through life. Aa a boy his special delight is the torture of every bird or animal be can get bold-of alive. As a man tbe torture of a human being gives him pleasure, and at no time ia bia laughter so joyous as when some special ingenu­ ity wrings a groan or cry of anguish. - A few years ago I met a gentleman who told me that he was one of a party that went to the front after the terrible Minnesota massacres of 1862. He said that no words could express the horror of the acene* enacted. Scalped nnd mutilated corpses of men and women, nnd of babes whose brains had been beaten out against walls or tree*, were collected and buried. Three young girls, scalp­ ed and terribly mutilated, were banging against walls by large nails driven through the palms of the outstretched ijan|s. The. youngest had been dead some time; another ” '-J Ki U [J ; E t w { JL . Cruelty Is both an amusemeht and a study. Ko much pleasure Is derived from it that an Indiau is constantly thinking out new devices of torture aud bow to prolong to the utmost those already known. Hl* anatomical knowl­ edge of tbe most sensitive portions of the human frame la wonderfully accurate; and the amount of beating, cutting, stashing and burning be will make a human body undergo without seriously affecting tbe vital powers is astonishing. The bodies of enemies ara.glmost always terribly nxutl-. lated; but it la not generally difficult to tell from tbe na­ ture of the mutilation whether the body fell into lheir band* before or after death. If tbe body is pierced with many bullet holes or arrows oVcut and slashed with deep and careless gashes, the spirit had passed before the Indian got possession. But artistic dissection*, partial flaying*, dislocations, breaking and splitting of fingers and toes Indicate that the poor fellow Went to his long, home with ail the accompaniments of pain and horror that these demons can devise. WRY EVERY WOMAN SHOULD BE MARRIED. The lesson of .all the ages ia that woman, how­ ever gifted, finds her most congenial abiding place In “the sweet, safe corner of the household fire, behind the heads of children.” Love makes a woman's world. “The soul of woman," says Mrs. Sigourney. “Ilves in lore." and Bulwer, "There that uo age can freeze It.” The love of a good man and true seldom, 1? ever, falls, when thor­ oughly reciprocated, to secure' for a woman an abundant entrance into happiness, it lightens toll, however'hard; It lessens the bitterness of tbe bread of affliction', and aorrow becomes comparatively easy to bear when one leans upon the arm of a beloved husband; that support which, in sustaining power. 4s. second only to ‘tthe everlasting -arms.'' Mother love Is an Instinctive passion with all fem­ inine nature; the- mother who does not love her offspring is an anomaly, and no woman wbese children are faithfully reared enu l>e wretched, whatever trials she may be called ' upon to endure. Next to the love of a devoted husband-whose affection, like the pure gold of the ring which sym­ bolises .It, only grows brighter with the passing years, tbe lore of her children is the sweetest gift which fate can bestow upon a woman. The utroOgest advocates of marriage as the true voca­ tion of all women cannot deny that there be some who have found blessedness outside of Its pale—single women who have left the world the better for tbelr work In it. There are some who are able not only to stand alone but to hold up others, who, mentally and morally strong, carve out a career for thejnselve*. Yet It Is forever doubtful whether fame alone can natlsfy the hunger and thirst of a woman's heart, end there Is much truth In the saying that woman's work Is vain without the approbation of a man. Talented women, who sacrifice a career for the sake bf matrimony, who bring forth children instead of writing books or paint­ ing pictures, rarely acknowledge repentance for tbe sacri­ fice. When tbe apiatie sought to typify the love of Christ for the church be could find no better simile than that of a busband for his wife. Tbe treasure of a good man's love may well be the crown of any woman’s life, and the bene­ ficial influence of a wise and kindly husband cannot be overestimated. Tbe wife's womanly weakness may profit much by the husbard's manly strength, and If a woman have talent such a man.will be the last to permit her to hide it In the napkin of domestic drudgery.

The cuttings are car­ ried from the beader, by an endless belt, to a beader barge, which is driven beside the machine. When one barge IA full It is driven to the stack and another takes Its j>lace.

One of the troubles with fruit-grow­ ers who do not keep posted bn the de­ mands of the market Is the Idea they have that any sort of an apple will sell at some price. This Is so as far ns It goes, provided the fruit Is properly graded, but when one packs all grade*; In the same basket or barrel, the chances are. nine out of ten, that the fruit win bring only ihe price of the poorest specimens. The most succifwful fruit growers have but two grades, nnd any fruit, particularly apples, that falls below the second grade, gore to the cider mill. If this plan Is carried out and the packing Is done attractively, the two grades of fruit win bring In a greater profit than would be possible If alt of tbe fruit was marketed with little or no sorting. Care should also be taken that the fruit Is picked carefully: have each specimen go into, the barrel with its stem on. but not with a twig which Will Injure tbe other fruit.

There Is untold wealth In tbe soil. There are practically no “exhausted"soils; they are mostly huran* robbed and poorly bandied soils.

Many men make a comfortable living ou tea to fifty acres of land, and yet they al­ ways expect to produce wore next year. Only here and there art we be­ ginning to develop a really scientific and businesslike agriculture. The opportunities In farming arc great. It Is almost Impossible for a man to fall.

This Is a grievous error. Fanning must be learned, as must engineering or teaching. It can­ not be learned from a book or n bulle­ tin. but by farming.

If he has been In a subor­ dinate position In his former business, his chances of success in fanning orc less, for he will probably be deficient In executive handling and Initiative.

About twice the number of cows may be kept on a farm if tbe silo is used. Tbe ensilage may be kept over and fed during the dry' Rn<l hot months of July and August, when pasture* are short, and that Is tbe moat difficult time to keep up the flow of milk, and If cows once drop in the flow of milk It is wellnigh Impossible to get them to regain tbe full flow. When dairymen do not have silos, tbe next best thing Is roots, such as stock beets, which yield six hundred to seven hundred bushels per acre, and may be preserved in base­ ment. barns or In a root cellar.—Ameri­ can Cultivator. Tbe greatest mistake that can be made Is to allow gtock to deteriorate in the winter time with the hope of re­ gaining what has been lost when grass corned. The sheep will.find quite an amount of forage on the stubble field which other animals will not touch at this season, but because a sheep Is willing to eat what It can find In that manner should not deprive It from receiving regular rations at the barnyard. Agriculture will not have attained the highest place until farms of the country have been made to produce annually the full measure of their ca­ pacity. This means rotation, fertili­ zation and a host of other things thatt must come with progressive farming. Etery farmer should have a few grapevines. They serve as arbors or shade, and can be grown where they will uot take up much space. All poul­ try yards will be Improved If grape­ vine* are grown along the fences and' the fowls will find shade under tbe overhanging branches In summer.

U * The published forecast of the result of the Alaskan boundary Arbitration substantially confirms the American view as to the meaning of the original treaty provisions whereby Russia and Great Britain fixed this boundary, in 1825. Those provisions are so clear that notwithstanding tbe chance that the British and Canadian arbiters would defer to the pressure of Canadian senti­ ment a verdict In favor of the- United Slates was expected. The award is thus a surprise only ns an Instance In which the sentiment or prejudice of patriotism han yielded to the superior claims of exnet justice.' Because of the attitude of the British member of the board of arbitration. Lord Chief Justice Alverstone, the highest judicial authority in England, tbe award has been made to afford a noteworthy and impressive instance of the possi­ bilities of peaceable and fair Inquiry. The map shows the boundary between Canada and Alaska, as decided by the treaty coni miss loners. America claimed rights over the Portland Canal, but this contention, it appears, the commission ha* set aside and puts that channel entirely under British control. The Canadian claim Interpreted the treaty as meaning the line from headland to headland of the coast, thus including In Canadian territory not only Dyea nnd Skaguay, but almost the entire length of Lynn Canal; also Glader Bay. in which the famous Muir glnder is situated, and other important points along tbe coast. Under the finding all this territory will remain under control of the United States. The United States boundary, ns defined by the decision of the commission, now ascends slightly west of Portland channel, nnd the claim of tbe Canadians, that their boundary should start up the northern arm of the Behm Canal, is declared to be untenable. As an example of tbe advantages of arbitration when wisely and temper­ ately undertaken the award will have a highly benetidnl effect To a certain extent tt may have nlso tbe. effect of stimulating friendly feeling between the British nnd American governments, though the Canadians can hardly be ex­ . pected to take this view of the matter. The fact which will impress them Is that they have l>cen shut out from the sea by o decision which Intrenches the United States more firmly than ever in It* position as the dominant power of the Pacific. Any resentment they may feel must be shortlived; since their case was-weak nnd they knew tt. notwithstanding their labored efforts to make tt look presentable. MERRILL MAY RETIRE. DIE IN BRIDGE CRASH. Bishop Stephen M. Merrill, senior As the result of the breaking of a bishop of the Methodist Episcopal traveler crane on the Pittabarg end of Church, probably will be relieved from the new Whfeash bridge over the Monon­ active work. according to reports in gahela river nine meu were killed and many were injured. The cause, a* far a* can be learned from the accounts of eye witnesses, was due to the traveler being overweighted. The traveler projects beyond the finished part of the bridge for the purpose ot placing nn addition In |>ositiou and al­ lowing the builder* to work. While many men were at work on this addi­ tional section the projecting bar snapped rnd fell. It landed on the section that was being placed in position nnd caused it to give way. On this section ecveral men wore at work and they were carried with the wreckage into the river. The traveler and section of the bridge fell on a barge loaded with steel anchored under the new bridge, on which several mcr were nt work, nnd thin was sunk. .TIioh* on the section of the IwWgi were crashed and some ic*tartiiy kftlcl while thus* in the barge were crashed or drowned.

If the pay of a private on his first en­ listment were made to approach that of a fnrm laborer, I am of the opinion that there would be a sufficient number of en­ listments of a very superior class—young men from the farms, who are usually of good physique and have a common school education, nnd nre not so much addict­ ed to interoperate habits as meu recruit­ ed in the cities.” Congress will be naked tn appropriate at the coming session $102,800,440.34 for the support and increase of the navy during the next fiscal year. This is an Increase of more than $23,000,000 over the appropriation for tho present year, and contemplates an expenditure of $23,­ 8215,800 for the construction of new war­ ships nnd $12,000,000 for armor and ar­ mament for new ships. The estimates also include an Item of $230,000 for a naval training station on the great lake*. The earnest desire of the Secretary of the Nary and others who have conferred with him upon the upbuilding of the navy for a generous allowance for new vessels is demonstrated In the request upon Congress to allow orcr $23,000,­ 000 next year for additions to the nary, whereas tbe appropriation for new ships during the present year was only $8,000,00<l. In other words, Secretary Moody will urge Congress to grant nearly three time* as much money for new warship* A systematic r.n«l extensive violation of tbe contract labor law has lu-en dis­ covered by the Bureau of Imralcrntioo. and steps nre being taken to deport n number of immigrants, some of wh0nt have nlready arrived nnd others due nt New York In a day or two.

Collec- Captain Roynl Ingersoll, United Stales navy, for aome years one of the distinguished professors in the naval academy, Annapolis, and from which institution bo graduated with high honors, says the Baltimore Sun. has returned to his former home lu La Porte. Ind., from a tour In Chinese waters. He la a line officer, and ranks very high as a commander of admin­ istrative ability. The La Porte Herald' gives the fol­ lowing account of a collectlpu of curiiogUles which Captain Ingersoll has brought to his home. The Herald says: . "What la believed to be the finest collection of Chinese war weaiions and Implements and Chinese curios In America, If not in the world, was brought to La Porte by Captain Royal Ingersoll, United States navy, who, on Sunday, arrived in tills city direct from Yokohama, where for tbe past two years be had been In command of the Unltril States cruiser New Orleans of Admiral Evats' squadron. The prin­ cipal part of the collection consists of alxty-three Chinese and Japanese weapons and Implements of war. of which thirty-six are a complete set of the official weapons of the viceroys of China. It Is claimed that nowhere In the world outride of China is there such a complete set, although In a number of the world's largest muse­ um* and in the possession of promin­ ent persons who have traveled In China are found Incomplete sets. Each weapon In this se-r of thlrtyrix Is about ten feet long and consists of a ateel blade fitted on a teek handle, the wood being extremely hard and tough. The blades are all different, there being no two exactly alike In tbe set. AU are more or less suggestive of fishing and farming implements, af­ ter which they were evidently made originally. Some of tbe weapons have brass trimmings, with dragon*’ heads thereon and other figure* that remitone of the Orient Six of the weapons are extra fine and were carried by the very highest official* In the Chinese army. Including the Emperor. Two have dragons bn the blades and were used more for display than actual war­ fare, while the others were used in the days when the Chinese army w«a not equipped with modern rifles, as at present One weapon 1* like a seven­ star knife, another has a blade like a Malay creese; still others are shaped like harpoons, some have prongs, one Is a steel club, some'have single and dou­ ble moon blades, another is like a spear or pike pole, one blade Is like an Inverted half-moon and some are tike forks. The blades are of extra fine steel, almost as sharp as razors. The weapons weigh from five to twelve pounds each and some of them came from the” residences of Chinese man­ darins. Deceiving the Spirits. The custom of boys wearing ear­ rings in China Is thus popularly ex­ plained by the Chinese: The boy ia the greatest blessing that heaven can send. The spirits like boy babies. It Is natural that they should; everybody likes them. Very often. If the boy ba­ bies’ are not watched closely, the spir­ its who are constantly around grab up the unwatched boy babe and carry him off to their home. Girl babies are not such blessings, nnd the spirits care nothing for them. The earring is a feminine ornament, and the spir­ its know that; so tbe Chinese mothers have the errs of their boy babes pierced and put in huge earrings. When tbe spirits ate around looking for boys they will see the earrings and be fooled into thinking the boys are^girls. and will pass on and not trouble\tbem.' Mafflmg In Spain. Never in my life have I seen such wrapping nnd muffling ns I have seen In Spain. Tbe men here wear very heavy cloaks—heavier than any outer garment we have in America except fur coats. These cloaks are usually ■ lined with colored plush; the insides of the front flaps are often lined with red or green or yellow phisb, and often with two colors. Sometimes tho men have .pointed hoods to their cloaks, but even when the cloaks are not hooded the wearers wrap the capes around tbelr throats and mouths and even around their heads. I have often seen a Spaniard going along wrapped in a cloak and with a muf­ fler bound around bis bead, so that only one ear, one eye and one nostril were exposed. Little or No Hope.

The Gold Bearing Vein crossing these claims is 50 feet wide and 2100 feet long.

This vein, where cut by streams and gulches is shown to be hundreds of feet above water level and pay-ore all the way. No ope knows bow many thousand feet it extends below but there is enough ore above to last for generations. Thia vein has been opened thia summer 200 feet deep by a tunnel 150 feet long, actually proving up 100,000 tons of gold ore worth at least 1500,000.00. This mine was located by our fellow townsman, George Wertz, who was early on the ground and selected this* group of claims for its great value and favorable location for cheap and rapid pro­ duction. • There is no free stock,-every member paid for hls chares and is interested only in the success of the mine as no salaries arc allowed.

Every .drop of blood in the body passes through and is filtered by healthy kidneys every three minutes. Sound kidneys strain out the impurities from the blood, diseased kidneys do not, hence you are sick. FOLEY’S KIDNEY CURE makes the kidneys well so they will eliminate the poisons from the blood. It removes the cause of the many diseases resulting from disordered kidneys which have allowed your whole system to become poisoned. Rheumatism, Bad Blood, Gout, Gravel, Dropsy, Inflammation of the Bladder, Diabetes and Bright's Disease, and many others, are all due to disordered Kidneys. A simple test for Kidney disease is to set aside your urine in a bottle or glass for twenty-four hours. If there is a sediment or a cloudy appearance, it indicates that your kidneys are diseased, and unless something is done they become more and more affected until Bright’s Disease or Diabetes develops. .

The Evangelical Church Dedicated— A Big Crowd Present. great day for the Evangelical congre­ gation of Nashville, it being the occa­ sion of the dedication of their splendid church edifice which has undergone a complete remodelling and reconstruc­ tion during Lbe past summer. The society rejoices in the steady and healthy growth which it has had dur­ ing the seventeen years of its organiz­ ation and found the former church edifice inadequate to answer the grow­ ing demands of the congregation. The Evangelical church of Nashville was organized in the spring of 1886 under the pastorate of Rev. W. A. Koehler. He took up an appointment young people's service was held at 6 p. m. and' after another eloquent sermon by the bishop the church was solemnly dedicated to theservioeof the Triune God as the Zion’s chureh of the Evangelical association of Nash­ ville, Michigan, and dedicated free of debt As a climax and crowning result of the services pastor Armstrong was permitted to receive ten persons into church fellowship, nine of whom were heads of families and one a young lady. It was indeed a red letter day in the history of the Evangelical church, and marks an epoch in the church life of the society. The Pre­ siding Eider, F. C. Berger of Grand Rapids and Rev. J. F. Kirn of Wood­ land were present and participated in the dedicatory service.

SUICIDE AT VERMONTVILLE. ^Miss Leia Hager, daughter of NelVon Hager, living at Vermontville, took a dose of corrosive sublimate a couple of weeks ago and died from the effects last Sunday.

This had caused her a good deal of trouble and while worrying over her work it is sup­ posed that, being of a nervous tem- NUMBER 11 ANOTHER SUCCESSFUL THUNDER MOUNTAIN MINING COMPANY. The directors of the Rainbow Gold 'Mining Company held a special meet­ ing in the office of the treasurer at the Nashville bank October 30th. There were present R. F. Agnew of Battle Creek, president; W. F. Lybrook of Charlotte, secretary; Theo C. Downing, treasurer, and A. C. Buxton and E. M. Everts of this village, directors. ' The meeting was called to order by President Agnew at 1:10 p. m. and various important matters relative to the further development of the valu­ able holdings of the company were discussed, but more particularly that of mill and tramway, looking to the milling of the immense amount of ore that has been exposed by that tunneli approximating 200 feet in length, OB the vein, which has just been com­ pleted by Manager Wertz. Cross­ cutting of the vein from the tunnel leyel has been made at intervals,! showing that the vein at depth bolds the same width of 47 to 50 feet as shown at the surface, and that the values increase with depth. The meeting took the form of a jollification when these figures were presented by the secretary, showing that over 100,000 tons of free milling ore assaying an average of better than 17.00 per ton, are now exposed ready for mining, at a cost to the company of lei s than three cents per ton. It has been demonstrated that the operation of the Dewey mill chat this ore can be mined and milled at an ex­ pense not exceeding SI per ton with the small 250 pound stamps and that the larger 850 pound stamps, crush­ ing a much greater amount of ore in the same time, will materially reduce the cost. " Mr. Wertz also reports that the new strike made by him on the Umber claim of the company, which adjoins their other claim?, has betin further opened and shows a vein of volcanic ore over 50 feet wide and crossing three claims in length. This assays on the surface from 82.70 (the lowest) to 840.(X) per ton. As this large ore body lies directly on the line of the cross-cut tunnel, the board deemed it advisable to prosecute the work on this tunnel during the winter with a view of open­ ing the ore body at depth and also in­ tersect the tunnel now completed. Considering the uniform increase of values with depth on the other vein, it is expected that very rich ore will be encountered in this ground at the tunnel level. As an evidence of the enthusiasm that prevailed and the faith that the management Ims in the properties, over 81500 was subscrilied at the meeting and u resolution adopted raising the price of stock five cents per share. ■ The company is certainly to be con­ gratulated on the inagnlficient pro­ gress that has been made in so short a time, less than five months having elapsed since the organization of the company. On account of the wide veins, soft formation and favorable locution of Its mines, the Thunder Mountain district is said to be the most famous in the world for the low cost and rapid development of ite properties, but it ie doubtful if any, even in this favored district, can make a better showing than the above.

Now a movement is under way to unite 'these independent New York ex­ change* by building a long-distance trunk line from Buffalo to New York City, es­ tablishing connections with each and at thia end with an independent company which professes to have secured already contracts for 75.000 telephones in a par­ tial canvass of the city and expects by .the low rates it will offer to secure twice that number- The plan is to organise the village Independent telephone ex­ changes into county systems with a 10­ cent rate for all villages and cities with­ in a county, whether they be one or 100 miles apart, and a correspondingly low fate for long-distance calls outside of the county. It Is argued that with a rate so low telephoning will very largely take the place of letter writing, and that so large will be the number of subscribers that the large expense of installing the system will quickly be made up despite the low rate. MISSOURI HAS AN EARTHQUAKE. Recant Disturbance Calls Attention to Some Historic Facta. An earthquake along the western banks of the Mississippi in southeastern Missouri occasioned considerable alarm •the other evening. The shock was felt as far north as St Louis, but the seis­ mic disturbance lasted less than a min­ ute and no damage was done. The dis­ turbance was generally felt over New Madrid, Jefferson and the surrounding counties. An interesting fact about this shock is that it occurred in the exact territory which, beginning in 1811, was the acene of a series of earthquake phe­ nomena that extended over a i>eriod of two years. Southeastern Missouri and northeastern Arkansas suffered more from subterranean disturbances at that time than any other part of our domain within the historic period. The region was inhabited chiefly by Indians, If it had possessed its present density of popu­ lation the shocks, which were very se­ vere for several months, would have been numtiered among the world’s great ca­ lamities. PLANS TO BLOW UP T. M. C. A. Druggist .Plata Destruction of Bullalug to Dat Insurance. Truman tl. Wheeler, a druggist of Lesterahire, ’ N.- Y., planned to blow up the Y. M. C. A. building so ns to collect insurance on his depleted stock on the ground floor. The timely discovery of the plot prevented a terrible exploaion. With prison staring him in the face. Wheeler took poison and died. An exfloaiou such as Wheeler bad planned would have wrecked the building and killed at least a score of. persons. Bluefield* Again Fire Swept Cable advices from Bluefields, Nicara­ gua, tell of the destruction by fire of tbe southern end of the town, entailihg a loss of nearly 1300,000.

Ths first tunnel under North river is completed from the New Jersey shore to within seventy-five feet of tbe New York snore. It is expected that trolley cars will be operated in the tunnel by next April The tunnel Is not large enough for railroad trains to traverse. Block System la Preferred. The American Railway Association has decided to abolish the train order system for the block signal system on double track line*.

Tbecroup remedies are almost sure to be lost, in case of croup, as a revolver is sure to be lost in case of burglars There used to be an oldfashioned remedy for croup known as hive syrup and tolu. but some modern mothers say that Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy is better, and does not cost so much. It causes tbe patient to throw up tbe phlegm quicker and gives relief in shorter time. Give this remedy as soon as tbe croup cough appears and it will prevent tbe attack. It never falls and is pleasant and safe to take. For sale by Central drug store. Charley Hood of Sunfield spent tbo last part of tbe week with Dor Everts.

ACCUSES MORGAN AND 8CH WAS J. P.. Morgan. Charles M. Schwab, Ool. J. J. McCook and others are ar­ raigned severely by Receiver James Smith, Jr., in hte report on the United States Shipbuilding Company's affairs, which was- filed with United States Cir­ cuit Judge Patrick, in Trenton, N. J., on Thursday. Mr. Smith states that Charles M. Schwab, J. P. Morgan, Her­ bert Sztterlee, Morgan’s son-in-law, and several venders or controlling owners of constituent companies received bonds and stock for which no equivalent was ever paid the United States Shipbuild­ ing Company. His report charge* that Schwab nnd Morgan alone received <20,000,000 pre­ ferred and common stock, for which they rendered absolutely no equivalent. He also characterizes ns reprehensible the secret Morgan-Schwnb-IIarrte-Gates & Co. agreement by which the <20,000,000 of Morgan and Schwab preferred and common Shipbuilding stock was to be marketed in adrancs of other outoids securities. Terms such as ‘‘fraudulent’’ and “rep­ rehensible” abound in the report, which te remarkable also for its drastic and un­ gloved handling of various questitmable phases of United States Shipbuilding promotion, and particularly the farcical sale of the Bethlehem Steel Company by Charles M. Schwab. Receiver Smith goes so for as to inti­ mate strongly that Charles M. Schwab was acting simply as an ngent for the uteel trust when he paid <7,200,000 for tho Bethlehem plant. The receivership report specially ital­ icizes the manner in which J. P. Mor­ gan dominated C. M. Schwab as well as Sthere in shipyard promotion in forcing fie purchase of the Bethlehem plant for $9,000,000 first mortgage gold bonds, a lien on the Bethlehem plant nnd <20.000,>100 preferred ami common United States Shipbuilding stock. uml “We-being ready both in body and soul may therefore accomplish these “In tho eternal and unending warfarefar righteousness snd against evil.’’ said the President, "the friends of what te good need to remember that iu addition to being decent they must be officiant; that good intentions, high purposes can­ not be effective and a substitute for pow- >iona felt io action. “in tire seventh hymn which we sung.

Ten lives were lost by the caving in Saturday night. Criminal negligence on the part of the contractors, it te charged, led to the accident. All the victims were workmen, most of them Italians. The accident was the most disastrous that has occurred in the construction of the subway. At the point, where .the cave-in occurred a giing of twenty men were at work in the tunnel, which fa about 110 feet below tbe surface. Fol­ lowing three blasts by the drilling gang, the roof of* the tunnel collapsed, hun­ dreds of tons of rock falling and burying those ot the gang who could Dot escape. Rufus C. Hunt, superintendent, and Richard Beyers, general foreman for John B. McDonald, the contractor who is building the tunnel, were arrested as soon ns they reached the acene of the disaster, but being experts in tunnel work and blasting were permitted to dityct the work of rescue. Later a magis­ trate remanded them to the coroner, who held them in <10,000 boil each. ATTEMPT ON LIFE OF DIAZ. At Guanajuato, Mexico, nu attempt wns made Tuesday on the life of Presi­ dent Dins, who was n guest of the State government during the festivities. Tho President, hte staff nnd guests were pass­ ing by the Oantador garden in a street car when a man of the lower class, Enas Toscano, approached the car shouting, and fired fire shots from a revolver st the ear, doing no harm. Paklo Escauodon of the President’s staff rushed out of the car nnd caught the man. wrenching the revolver from his grasp. The police took Toscano to prison. He te a man with a bad crim­ inal record nnd was *nly recently releas­ ed from prison nt Grandites, where ho hod served a term for homicide. Tho matter will be investigated. Ono theory te that Toscano was drank and another that he deliberately planned to shoot the chief magistrate. An attempt waa made on tbe life of President Diax on Doc. 16, 1897. He at­ tended on that day the public celebra­ tions in the City of Mexico of the anni­ versary of Mexican 'independence. Dur­ ing the festivities a man rushed toward him and, evading ail efforts made to Check hte progress, reached the Presi­ dent’s side and attempted to kill him. President Diaz was not hurt. The as­ sassin was at onee arrested and throws into prison. This attempted murder cre­ ated much excitement and subsequently the would-be assas-in was dragged from prison by a mob and lynched.

Unique in the history of religious war­ fare te tbe soul saving campaign which the Salvation army has inaugurated in the mountain region of Kentucky. Arm­ ed with no other weapons than song and prayer and religions zeal, these pioneers of the church militant have confidently gone into the feud-ridden district*, where a man’s life is held cheaper than that of a dog’s and red-handed awnratoation stalks abroad. Thte daring scheme of the evangeliza­ tion originated with Col.. Richard E. Holz of Cleveland, and provincial officer In charge of the army worts in Ohio and Kentucky. He conceived it to be the duty of the army to send a special expe­ dition to the wild mountaineers. Imbued with the spirit of the army organization, which aims to reach tbe needy, neglect­ ed and indifferent through unusual chan­ nels. Col. Holz formed a picked brigade of six members, nnd himfldf has gone as their leader. Selected primarily as able speakers, tbe member* of the brigade have also been chosen with a view to their physical endurance, because they will ride many miles a day, hold meetings every night and rough It generally. They arc provid­ ed with full camping-out equipment and all th* accessories of tbe soldier, minus weapons. This tour of the Salvation cavalry Is pl nned to test only' for a few weeks and te in reality only • a preliminary skirmish, covering seven counties. When thc brigade ha* introduced Salvation work along thte route. It te proposed to establish permanent posts at all tbs points touched upon. Ool. Holz is raid to be delighted with the way his party has been received by the feudists at Jackson, and te now push­ ing deeper into the mountains, inspired with fresh ardor by the altogether aus­ picious beginning of a crusade that la ex­ pected to lift the fierce mountaineers a long way up toward rhe level of twenti­ eth ccutnry civilization. sf L'e. an unhappy marriage with an Italian, and her parents, fearing a similar fate for the younger daughter, made her promtee te guard Miss Foster against a union with a foreigner, hence her In­ terference to separate tbe lovers; it was only when her sister pined away that Mme.

As mentioned in last week's News Mrs. Whitney, with her two daughters, was visiting at McBain and while the little girl, who was only two years old, was playing in the house she fell into a tub of hot water wMch was being used for scrub­ bing. She was taken out quickly and it was not thought she was bkdly burned as she did not complain and slept well that night. The next morn­ ing she seemed all right and asked for something to eat and while she was being fed she became unconscious and died very soon.

An exchange paper blds farewell to a departed citizen as follows: "He was a man of push; be played marbles with a boy for keeps and cheated all his playmates out of their allies; he swapped a bladeless knife, unseen, for a four blader, sold it for fifty cents, bought a pound of sugar, made a bar­ rel of lemonade which he sold on cir­ cus day for eight dollars. He started tn business and sold tough meal for choice cuts and made a fortune When be got a thousand dollars he started a company with five million dollars, mostly water, and sold the stock at par. When the company busted it was found that be had long since sold out He died a millionaire » and left all his money here. It is very warm where he is now. Tbe elections Tuesday in aeveral states proved a surprise. For in­ stance, in Ohio it has been thought for some time that Tom L. Johnson would give Mark Hanns a dose race, but when the votes were counted it was found the latter will be returned to the United Stales senate by a large majority. Gao. B. McClellan was elected mayor of New York city over tbe present incumbent, Seth Low, by about 70,000 plurality. Cummings wm re-elected governor of Iowa and Beckham re-elected governor of Ken­ tucky. Herrick was elected governor of Ohio by 100,000. The past week has been one of un­ interrupted Indian summer weather, lacking nothing in coubpleteness ex­ cept that, coming so late, It was with­ out the fullest glory of autumn tint* in the leaves; but the golden light of the sun, the purple haze of the horizon and the magnificent colors of the sun­ set were never more entrancing or im­ pressive.

A desperate character by the name of Easterly was convicted of the crime and was sen­ tenced to Jackson prison -for life; he afterward became a raving maniac and died in the asylum for the crimi­ nal insane at Ionia. Last winter he slipped and fell in I his door yard and sustained a frac­ ture of the hip. He was taken to the home of Edwin Craney, a neighbor, where he was taken care of until a few weeks ago, when, having so far re­ covered from his Injury that he was able to hobble around, he returned to his home, which was little more than a hovel. Friends tried to prevail upon him to spend his last days with some one who would administer to his com­ fort, but to no avail. He preferred to die, .as be had always lived, in the sol­ itary seclusion of his hermit’s hut. Mr. Craney’b people, as well as other neighbors, did what they could for the old mon in his last days, and otr- the morning of his death Mr. Craney had been down and found him rapidly failing. Ho left his sjn to keep him company, and when young Craney realized that Mr^J ackson was dying he hastily summoned his people.

This brother came to Maple Grove with him when he bought his farm, but he had not beard from him for many years, and no trace of him or his family can be found, although search was Instituted for them several years ago. He left a will disposing of his property, and as he was very eccentric there are liable to be some surprises when the will is read. It is hinted that the village of Nashville is one of the beneficiaries for a small amount as a starter toward a public building. L. J. Wilson of this village, for many years a friend to the old gentleman, Is named as administrator. The funeral was held at the Maple Grove M. E. church Wednesday fore­ noon at eleven o’clock, conducted by Rev. G. W. Tuthlll of Nashville, and the remains were interred in the Wil­ cox cemetery. ________ A GOOD TIME.

Tuthlll on the subject, “The Relation of Fra­ ternal (SrpanizatloDB and Oddfellow­ ship in Particular to Society and Humanity.” The subject was dis­ cussed in a very able and eloquent manner and was listened to by an at­ tentive and thoroughly appreciative audience.

Whitfield was histired for $5,000, receiv­ ing a policy that contained n clause spec­ ifying that _ $500 only should lie recov­ ered bi cas’e of snicide. Although the statutes of Missouri declare that insur­ ance companies may not make suicide a defense in refusing to pay a policy. Judge Phillips held that “as the pleading of the contract in question voluntarily entered into by tbe parties goes merely to the question of the amount of the recovery, and not to defeat a recovery, my conviction is that the plaintiff is Just­ ly entitled to recover the sum of $500."

When you are satisfied that a de facto government, republican in form and without substantial opposi­ tion from its own people, baa been ebtnblwheii in {he State of Panama, you will enter into relations with it as the responsible government of the territory and look to it for all due action to pro­ tect the persons and property of citi­ zens of the United States, and to keep open the isthmian transit in accordance with the' obligations of existing treaties governing the relations of the United States to that territory." Immediately afterward an instruction was sent by telegram to Mr. Beaupre, the United States Minister at Bogota. The Colombian troops have evacuated Colon and the flag of the new republic of Panama is -now flying over every part of the Isthmus. Col. Torres, the Colombian command­ er, after a conference with the revolu­ tionary leaders, seeing that the situation was hopeless, agreed to embark his force on the royal mail steamer Orinoco for Cartagena. A special ttaln from Pan­ ama brought Gen. Tovar, who also sail­ ed on the Orinoco. Half an hour after the sailing of the Orinoco the United States auxiliary cruiser Dixie, haring on board a battalion of 450 marines, arrived in the harbor. The people of Colon are jubilant. The flag of the new republic flies from tho railway stations at Gatun ami Bohio 8oldado, uear Colon. The municipal coun­ cil of Colon has notified the provisional government at Panama of ita adherence to the new republic. Gen. H. O. Jeffries; a _ graduate of West Point, has been appointed com­ mander uf the Pacific flotilla by the pro­ visional government. It was arranged Wednesday that the government troops should withdraw to the outskirts of the town and they did so during the night. Thursday morning, however, Col. Torres marched th® troops to the center of the town, which canoed n landing of American bluejackets. The bluejackets were barricaded behind bales of cottou in front of the bank and the railroad building. The commander j>f the Nashville distributed about fifty rifles to private citizens, who with the blue­ jackets guarded the barricades. Much anxiety prevailed all day until Col. Torres agreed to embark his tn>o[ix for Cartagena. It was recognized that the crew of the Nashville would be quite, inadequate to cope with the situation ashore should serious disturbances occur and the arrival of the Dixie was anxious­ ly awaited. . As soon as he arrived Commander De­ lano landed an adequate force of ma­ rines from the Dixie and the bluejackets who landed from the Nashville re-em­ barked.

It is stated that no progress has heeu made during the last year toward increasing the numtxr of stations. In connection with the sub­ ject of coal depots two map* of the world are submitted, the first showing the depots built,-.building or projected by the United States, and the second giving sipiilar information concenimg Great Britain. Rear Admiral Bradford directs attention to the maps, and adds: “A com­ parison of the two is instructive.” Commander Hubbard, of tbe Ameri­ can gunboat Nashville has ordered the superintendent of the Panama Railroad at Colon not to transport troops either of the government or the opposing force.

At the depth of 3,500 feet w.ivcb r.re not felt The temperature is the ruune, varying only a trifle fiom the ice of the j»ole to the burning sun of the equator. A mile down the water has a pressure of a top to the square inch. If a l>ox six feet deep were filled with aeu water and allowed to evaporate* under the snn, there would be two inches of salt left at the bottom. Taking the average depth of the ocean to b.v three miles, there would lie a layer of pure salt 2<30 feet thick on the Atlantic. The water is colder at the bottom than at the surface. In the many Imys on the coast of Norway ths ■water often freezes at the bottom be­ fore it dot s above. Waves are very deceptive; to look at them in a storm one would think the whole water traveled. The water stays in the sxme place, but the motion goes on. Sometimes in storms these waves are forty feet high, and travel fifty miles an hour—more than twice as fast as the swiftest steamer. Ths distance from valley to valley is generally fifteen times the height, -hence a wave five feet high will extend over seventy-five feet of water. The force of the sea dashing upon Bell Bock u said to be seventeen tons to the square yard. [JackeoDTille (Fla.) apeelaL] The New.

E. Fcnrow, Chief'tbe Forestry Division of the Department of Agriculture, sags that the interest in the forestry problem is grow­ ing in every direction; that the discus­ sions have become of a more precise and practical character. Michigan is one of the States mentioned by him as having just awakened to the conception that their forestry interests deserve attention. 1ft gives the following review of the con­ dition of the forestry interests in this State: “Michigan still haa 14,000,000 acres of woodland, or 38.1 per cent, of the State's area. Tho forests of the Lower Penin­ sula, as much of them ns remains, con­ sist of broad-leaved trees, among which the white oaks are prominent, nnd but little white pine is intermixed. Beyond, latitude forty-three tho admixture of pine is increasing, and where the lumberman's ax has not yet touched it the pine occurs also in pure stands, occupying sandy and gravel ridges, and the sandy plains in the Northern Peninsula, while the lower ground is occupied by hard woods like unfrequent swamps abound in tamarack and yellow cedar of large size. Several large tracts of candy barrens occur in the central and northern p arts of the Lower Peninsula, on which the gray pine (P. Bonks, lono.) forms the characteristic growth, with birches, poplars and scrub oaks intermingled, altogether of stunted growth. The hardwood forests of the twenty southern counties, with about ninety per cent, of the land iu farms, are more or less reduced to a state where they can hardly furnish the needed homo supply. The white pine, which has fur­ nished ita lumber for tbe last fifty years, is said to be largely removed in all but the leu accessible localities. It is esti­ mated that not more than 20,000,006,000 feet of merchantable lumber remain standing. The lumber industry in thia State within the last thirty-three years has developed in a remarkable man­ ner., Although there exists a ter­ ritorial law of 1817, revised im 1846, making willful and neg­ ligent firing of woods a misdemeanor, and, although the statutes make the sxtinguishment of fires a duty of justice* of the peace, supervisors, and commis­ sioners of highways, ond make the refu­ sal of nny citizen called upon to aid its their extinguishment punishable by a. fine of from $5 to $50; although the lia­ bility of railroad cvmpanies with refer­ ence to fires originating from locomotive* was established by legislative oct of 1873". yet tbe annual losses by fire are enormous. While this loss in the census year was placed at near $1,000,000, various esti­ mates place the same at from $7,000,000 to $12,000,000 worth of standing and cut timber. Roadside tree-planting is-accept­ ed in lieu of a certain amount of . road tax. The first public step in tho direction of * more rational attention to this great in­ terest, upon which the prosperity of th* State bar been based, and upon which two-thirds of its mincractures rely,’ has been lately taken.

They were met at the depot by a 'large num­ ber of friends and relatives and con­ veyed to the cemetery, where the burial services were conducted by Rev. Tuthill. While her death was a shock, yet it has been expected for some time, As last spring she was stricken with quick consumption and her health failed very rapidly.

NUMBER 13 A Chillicothe, Mo. young woman who swallowed a fly the othe- day while eating ice cream ran to a doctor and asked what she had better do. “Is the fly alive?” asked the doctor, smiling. ‘‘Oh, I’m sure, it if,” she replied. “Well,” returned the doctor, * ‘I guess you’d better swallow a piece of-fly paper.”' Mr. and Mrs. S.

An old bachelor got out of patience with the flies that invaded hie room and got two sheets of fly paper, which, he placed on the chairs near the win­ dow. Returning late at sight he forgot the fly paper and sat down in one of the chairs. He soon got up and proceeded to pick, the paper off the south end of his trousers, as it is a hard place to get at, he took the pants off and while cleaning th pm unoonsiously sat down on the other. He then stood up and meditated. More of our farmers should make it a point to .ettend the International Live Stock ^Exposition which is held annually a<_Chlcago. This year the dates are No<S58th to Dec. 5th. They would be able to pick up many valu­ able pointers in regard to the beat breed* of stock and the more ad­ vanced methods of breeding and feed­ ing, and ought to be able to reap pecuniary advantage from their obser­ vations. It costa no more to. raise good stock than poor, and there ought to be a constant striving toward the improvement of herd*. All railroads give reduced rates. z*The weatherman arose from his long reverie Tuesday and proceeded to “monkey” with the weather until he succeeded in handing out cold bard chunks sufficient to chase the mer­ cury in its hole, and then put the plug in. A liberal bespattering of the “beautiful,” the poets sing about, also arrived, ahd Wednesday morning those who were fortunate enough to have wood piles were compelled to dig the wood out of the enow. The said weather man promises a con­ tinued and uninterrupted "run” ofweather now for as far ahead as he can fix It, but we believe the people of Nashville would just as soon he would have his > “spells” come on more gradual. Arthur Smith of “Lake Odessa was arrested Sunday on the charge of for­ gery. He was taken before the court Monday and released on 91,000'bail, with F. B. Nims and George Houfstatter as sureties for the amount. The case is somewhat peculiar and the facts connected with the Base, as we are informed, ape substantially as follows: It seems that Arthur Smith is a member of the firm of Smith Bros., liverymen, of Lake Odessa. Some time ago a draft for 9595.70 on the Park National' bank of New York came to Smith Bros, of Lake Odessa which was intended for Smith Bros, of Woodbury, who are grain dealers. The draft was sent by Maynard A Allen of Portland. Arthur Smith, the accused, brought the draft to thia city during the fair, and went to Frank Rorabeck and was identified by him at the bank as a member of the firm of Smith Bros, and secured the money on the draft.—Hastings Banner. Charles A'. Buhrer, ex-county treas­ urer, president of the Cadillac Oil Co.; George W. Videan and A. G. Gulden, directors, leave for Texas today to look into the company’s holdings in Willis, Montgomery Co..Texas. "We have been having inquiries about our leases and the companv deemed it ex-, pedlent that some of the directors visit the well now being drilled,” said Mr. Buhrer. "We have had favorable reports from there from time to time, and every prediction made by David Bell, our superinten­ dent, has come true. The well is now down 970 feet, according to a postal card I received from there today. The reports are that the indications are very favorable, and it is believed thaAwe will not only strike oil but wllrstrike a very high grade of it. The trip will take about two week*.” The Conroe (Tex.) Courier say* that oil experts who have visited the propertv pronounce that the indica­ tion* of oil are unmistakable, and be­ lieve it will be struck in inexhaustible quantities.—Detroit Free Press No­ vember 17.

I deem such legWntion demanded not only by our interests but by our honor. We cannot with propriety abandon the course upon which ,we have *o wisely embarked. When the acceptance of the Platt amendment was required from Cuba by the action of Congress of the United State*, this governuieut thereby definitely committed itself to the policy of treating Cuba as occupying a unique position as regards this country.

E THEV Unless they are, good health Is Impossible. Every drop of blood in the. body passes througrh and is filtered by healthy kidneys every three minutes. Sound kidneys strain out the impurities from the blood, diseased kidneys do not, hence you are sick. FOLEY’S KIDNEY CURE makes the kidneys well so they will eliminate the poisons from the blood. It removes the cause of the many diseases resulting from disordered kidneys which have allowed your Whole system to become poisoned. Rheumatism, Bad Blood, Gout, Gravel, Dropsy, Inflammation of the Bladder. Diabetes and Bright’s Disease, aud many others, are all due to disordered Kidneys. A simple test for Kidney disease is to set aside your urine in a bottle or glass for twenty-four hours. If there is a sediment or a cloudy appearance, it indicates that your kidneys are diseased, and unless something is done they become more and more affected until Bright s Disease or Diabetes develops. FOLEY’S KIDNEY CURE is the only Bladder troubles, and cure you permanently. Rid Liabtfl Mr. G. A. Stillson. a merchant ot Tampico, III., writes: “FOLEY’S KIDNEY CURE is meeting with wonderful success. It has cured some cases here that physicians pronounced incurable. I myself am able to testify to its merits. My face today is a living picture of health and FOLEY’S KIDNEY CURE has made it such.” Tr**M* Edward Hum, a well known business man of Salisbury,Mo., writes: “I wish to say for the benefit of others, that I was a sdBarcr from lumbago and kidney trouble, and all the remedies I took gave me no •’ f.

Hogs of 200 to 250 pounds weight are best for family use In dressing a bog It should be so hung that it cau be split down the back, and the sides allowed to separate, the bead being cut off. Tbe leaf and some other sur­ plus fat should be removed at oice. This allows tbe meat to cool thorough­ ly, and it is In good shape to handle. The meat barrel should be kept Iu a cool place without freezing. A good way to keep the hams and shoulders after being cured is to slice and fry and pack in jars, covering with hot lard. Fresh pork may be kept this way in hot weather, but It must be thoroughly cooked. While tbe cured meet requires much less cooking to preserve It. Allow tbe bog to thoroughly cool be­ fore cutting, carefully trim bams and ahoulders aud split tbe sides In two lengthwise.

The temper of even those InBLXOK KLTTIX. dlM, wbo oo the reservations bt savage, and the younger men are spoiling for a fight In order to understand the situation one should have a map of the Northwest before him as he reads. For many yean it has been the habit of the Indians to journey back and forth in lhe fall be­ tween the Sioux reaervatlou at Pine Ridge, in South Dakota, the Wind River reservation in central Wyoming, and the Crow reservation in southern Montana. These traveling Indians have always left behind them a trail o'f carcasses of elk, deer nnd other wild game, and the au­ thorities have been unable to put a stop to the slaughter. In addition to the wild game, the Indians have not hesitated to slaughter such cattle belonging to the ranchmen as came in their way. Thia has led to great bitterness on tho part of the whites, and on more than one occasion there have been narrow escapes from fatal conflicts. For some time a band of Indians from South Dakota have been hunting in Con­ verse County, Wyoming, and ranchmen were angry because they slaughtered cattle as well as game. Settlers warned the reds to get out of the State, but tho Indians only laughed at them and aaid that the government had so reduced their rations that they must hunt meat ar starve during the coming winter. Finally Sheriff W. II. Miller organized a posse and set out in search of the In­ dians. The posse came upon the Indian camp on Beaver creek, but it was de­ serted by all save the squaws and chil­ dren. The squaws were busy preserving meat for winter. The entire camp was arrested and sent to Newcastle in charge of Lieut. Hilton. Then the posse set out in search of tho braves. They were located on Lightning creek, just at dusk. Sheriff Miller tried to have the In­ dians submit to arrest quietly, but they refused. They were under the leader­ ship of Eagle Feather, a graduate of Carlisle, and Black Kettle, a noted war­ rior. When the sheriff finally called on Eagle Feather to surrender he refused aud Black Kettle suddenly raised his rifle nnd shot the sheriff, killing him. Members of the posse then opened fire and shot down Black Kettle. For a time the ensuing fight was a hot one. Both sides sought cover and the redskins held their ground in the darkness until Eagle Feather was shot in both legs. Then they stole away one at a time and the whole party set out in the direction of the Bad Lands in South Dakota. Besides Sheriff Miller, Deputy Sheriff Waulkenbnrg was killed, being shot in the neck and bleeding to death. Several braves besides Black Kettle were killed and a number, including tbe wounded Eagle Feather, were taken prisoners. The whites sent couriers for help and camped for the night, guarding their prisoners. As soon as possible Sheriff John Ow­ ens of Newcastle organized another poese and set out tn intercept the fleeing reds before they could get to the Bad Lands, where they would be compara­ tively safe from pursuit Once in the Bod Lauds the reds could hide and re­ turn one by one to the reservations and it would be almost impossible to identify them. On Monday came the report that Sheriff McDermott with still another posse had had a severe fight with a band of Indians near the Horseshoe Ranch about fifty miles east of where Saturday's fight took place. It was re­ ported that ten of the Indians were kill­ ed and nine taken prisoners, and that none of the posse was injured. Only the influence of the older men.

According to Captain Scott’s state­ ment, the deer make raids on.the con­ struction camps and eat up the forage Intended for the mules of the graders. These attacks have bpcome ao fre­ quent and bold that it has been found necessary to keep guards posted around the camps both day.and night •to prevent the raids of tbe herds ot deer. . The statement of Captain Scott ia confirmed in a letter just received at Austin, Texas, from Frank Poult, who has a subcontract on the road. He •ays: "Tbe country through which this new road will pass te simply a huntera’ paradise. I never saw ao many deer in ail shy lite, and I have been something of a deer hunter In -my time. “The animate overrun our camps, eat up our grub, stampede our mules and play havoc generally. They are In such great numbers that there is no sport in shooting them. "I and most of the other sub-con­ tractors have issued orders for our foremen to carry rifles at all times in order to keep” the animals from Inter­ fering with the men's work. The other night a bunch of deer, in which there were several big bucks, entered our camp and when fired upon by the guards broke and ran right through our tents. "Some of them got tangled up In the tent ropes, and before they could get away we had captured five of the animate alive. We still have them here In camp, and if It was not for the expense of getting them to you I would ship them up to Austin. “On another occasion a drove of the animals upset our meal tent and nearly scared our Mexican cook to death. The biggest nuisance we have to contend with down here te ■ the wild deer» "I never before knew that these animals have so much curiosity. They belt an old maid In .that respect. There are very few settlements in this part of the country, and no deer bunting has ever been done. I sup­ pose that this accounts for the bold­ ness of the animals. "It seems a shame to kill them un­ der these circumstances, bat we have to do it for our own protection. When this road gets finished to Matamoros, situated opposite Brownsville. Tex., It will open up a country which will be the mecca of hunters. But It will not take long to kill oft the deer, although they are apparently here by countless thousands.” JACKIE NEVER SMILES.

Mr. Quimby, the execu­ tive officer of the vessel, took one of Uncle Sam’a bluejackets down below with him to instruct him how to op­ erate IL In tbe Navy practical dem­ onstrations are considered far superior to verbal explanations, so Lieutenant Quimby got busy. "See this vale down below?” he said to tbe bulejacket. "You will al­ ways have to open that before turning the faucets on the shower, otherwise you will not get any water." "Aye, aye, sir,” aaid the seaman, with a salute, but to make sure that he caught the point. Lieutenant Quimby stepped under the shower and slapped both faucets at the same tlm^. Apparently tbe vale down below had already been attended to by aome one else, for tbe water came down wltb a rush, and before tbe executive cbuld escape be was soaked. The sailor, who was respectfully standing at attention while hte supe­ rior was getting this involuntary bath, never cracked .a smile.

A fine shade tree stood slightly into tbo edge of the sidewalk, and President Town ordered the tree cut down, which was done.

A Metropolitan Attraction Secured for the Nashville Opera House; The next dramatic attraction at the Nashville opera house will be a not­ able one, ’ being no less than Mr. Richard B. Henderson and a star company in that wierd and wonderful drama, “Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.” The company is under the manage­ ment of C. H. Reid, which is alone a sufficient guarantee of its intrinsic merit, and there is no question that the announcement of the coming of this attraction will pack" the house to the doors. The management of the houite is going thia year on the plan of good attractions or none, and while the entertainments are not com­ ing so close together as in some for­ mer seasons, what have been secured are the very best of the traveling companies, and such as the manage­ ment is proud to present to the public in so small a town as Nashville. The date for “Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde” is Dec. 8th, and it will be the only attraction of a dramatic nature dur­ ing that month. Watch for further announcement and when the ticket* are placed on sale be on hand early to secure a good seat. On Dec. 17th Rostelle, heralded as the world's greatest hypnotist and mind reader, supported by an1 able company of vaudeville artists, come fob three nights at popular prices. Two fine attractions have been booked for January, the first a roar­ ing comedy direct from tbecast, “Foxy Mrs. Katzenjammer,” which will be here on the 13th. Twd weeks later we will again have something new to Nashville, and which will bring out every lover of the legitimate. Mr. Elmer Buffham, in ‘’The Merchant of Venice.” Mrl Buffham has for the past two years toured the country in ’‘The Prisoner of Zenda” and “Puddin Head Wilson,” ancLJs mak­ ing as great a hit as “Iago” In Shakespeare's great play “The Mer­ chant of Venice,” as he has in the two other plays named. Certainly Nash­ ville lovers of the drama are to be congratulated on the season's offer­ ings. No town of anything like the size of Nashville in the sthte will show anything to compare with the high quality of attractions which Nashville is receiving this year. Warren E., both have departed this life. January 7th, 1882, she was united In marriage to S; E. Smith who still survives her. She leaves a bus­ band and four children, eleven grand­ children, one brother and two sisters to mourn their loss. During the winter of 1883 she united with the M. E church at Remington, Ind. May 27th, 1903, she united with the Church of Christ at Storh, Ind., to which order she remained a faithful member till death. She was a true and faithful companion, a tender and loving mother and a devout, Christian. She never lived for self but always for others; but above all for her - blessed Master. After much patient suffer­ ing she quietly and peacefully fell asleep in Jesus. The fusers! was preached at the Methodist church of Nashville, Mich., Oct. 17, by her min­ ister, Rev. M. O. Johnston, of Stroh, Indiana. Those present from out of town at the funeral were Geo. T.

The residence of John* Ehret, near the railroad, in the west part of town, was almost totally destroyed by fire Wednesday morning. The fire caught from' a burning chimney on the kitchen, at the west of the house, and bad a good start when discovered. The fire department was called out and was able to reach tije house with one stream, though it used about all the hose tney had, the nearest hydrant being at Marshall's elevator. It took a long time to get action and the stream bad little force after coming through nearly half a mile of hose, but the boys worked hard and saved a portion of the structure. Most of the contents of „ the house were re­ moved, some of them in a badly damaged condition. Mr. Ehret bad u goodly sum of money in a tin box on the second floor of the house, which was found intact after the fire was practically out, and Mr. Ehret's mind was greatly relieved, saying that that was worth much more than the house and the other contents. The house was insured for a. small amount tn the Barry & Eaton, but Mr. Ehret was unable to state the exact amount. HRS. NANCY SURINE DEAD. Mrs. Nancy Surine died at her home □ear the Chance school house north­ east of town, last Friday, of injuries received in a fall some time ago, to­ gether with old age. The funeral was held at her late home Monday, Rev. Mosier officiating, and the remains were interred in the Vermontville cem­ etery. She was born Sept 19,1819, in Putnam county, New York. She was married on September 18, 1836, to James Surine, to which union were born ten children, nine boys and one girl, of whom eight survive her. She was a bright old lady and beloved for her kind, motherly ways by all who knew her. " Grand Rapids is all astir this week because of the old water scandal. Lant K. Salsbury has “peached” on the whole crowd; and wholesale arrests of city officials and ex-officials has followed. The new arrests are tumbling over themselves for an opportunity to plead guilty and tell ail they know about the other fellows. It was a mighty cheap lot, anyway, the ranging price for aidermen being from 8200 to 8500, and that on a six million dollar deal. We should think Grand Rapids ought to elect men who, if they do sell oqt, will get something like what they are worth. Their cheap sKates are setting a mighty bad ex­ ample the boodlers of othetkcities They will probably get fined about 8100 each, with the alternative of thirty days at Bellevue, in which case, of oourae, they would pay the fine if it was possible to raise the money. The fire department was called out Monday afternoon by an alarm of fire at the store of J. B. Kraft A Son, but was not needed and returned to headquarters without throwing water.

Death work train on the Big Four Railroad be­ tween Mackinaw and Tremout, Ill., at 2;45 o'clock Thursday nftenioon. The bodies of twenty-six victims were taken from toe debris, which was piled thirty feet high on the tracks. Conductor J. W. Judge, of the freight, violated rales, it to charged, and caused the collision. All toe dead and roost of toe injured were members of the work train's force, the crews on both engines jumping in time to save their lives. The collision occurred in a deep cut at the beginning of a sharp curve, neither train being vis­ ible to the crew of the other until they were within fifty feet. The engineers set the brakes, sounded the whistles and then leaped from their cabs. A second after the collision the" boiler of the work train exploded, throwing heavy iron bars and splinters of wood 200 feet. Conductor Judge, of Indianapolis, who had charge of-the freight "train, received orders at Urbana to wait at Mackinaw, for the work train, which was due there at 2:40 p. m. Instead of doing this he failed to stop. The engineer of the work train. George Becker, had received or­ ders to pass the freight at Mackinaw and was on the way to that station. Th* work train was perhaps five minute* "late and was running at full speed to make up time. When about two miles from Mlnert the crijsh came.

One of the last bodies recovered was that of William Bailey, of Mackinaw, who had been thrust thirty feet into the air and held by two steel rail* which had been pushed up between the engine and the tender of the work train. The workmen had been laying steel • rails along the track. • v A CROSS STATE HIGHWAY. Miaaoorl to Build Missouri is about to begin an under­ taking as great in its. way as the barge canal projected in New York State. Plans are virtually complete and work in all probability will begin in the spring on a splendid highway across the State. Just which one of three proposed routes will be adopted has not been decided. The various routes are 274, 288 and 290 miles long. In any event the road will run across the State from. St. Louis to Kansas City. The roadway will be 100 feet wide throughout. While it Is to be built pri­ marily for stability it is also the purpose of the projectors to make it one of the most beautiful highways in the worl£. Macadam eight inches deep and 24 feet wide will form the principal rood­ bed, but clay wagon paths will parallel the main roadway on both sides for dry weather. Between the dirt roadbeds and the fences, which will follow the course of the road, water sluices are to be made for drainage. Between’ these sluices and the fences a wide plank walk for pedes­ trians is to be laid nnd between the sluices and the walk trees are to In* planted for shade. These trees are to be planted by per­ sons living nlong the route of the road­ way, according to a clause in the agree­ ment, which will be drawn, up between the projectors and the officials of the counties through which the road parses. The cost of the road is not to exceed $3,000 a mile, which will bring the total when completed nlont $900,000. y Taxation will form the chief means of raising money to complete the work, each county paying n pro rata of the expense. Money appropriated by the Legislature •for the improvement of the. roadways will also be used on the highway. CUBAN BILL ADOPTED.

The new Panama Canal Company is specifically authorised to transfer to the United States all its. properties, including its shares 'in the Panama Railroad. The island in the bay of Panama is included within the canal sone. The United State* is given complete authority to police and protect the canal.

Colombia I* for War. Official reply han been made, says the New York Herald’s Bogota corresj>ondent, to the note presented by United States Minister Beaupre, informing the Colombian government that Washington had entered if)to official relations with the republic of i’annma. The reply was framed by Scnor‘Carlos Ricos, minister of foreign affairs, who vigorously de­ fends his government and threatens to march an army on Panama unless the United States immediately recedes from its position. . That the Colombians are willing to fight to maintain their dignity and, if possible, retake Panama, is shown by the strong support offered the govern­ ment and the popular approval of Minis­ ter Ricos' stand. Minister Ricos, in his note to the Unit­ ed States, through Mr. Beaupre, says: "The Colombian government protests energetically at the attitude taken by the United States.

For healthy white children I uhould consider this very imprudent; for Indinu children, tainted with a commu­ nicable disease, such overcrowding in dormitories is evidently dangerous.

The court.below denied the mandamus on the ground that the tax commission haring fixed valuation* nt cash value the board, of supervisors had nothing to do but adopt those valuation*. The situation in Cass County, where the supervisors ig­ nored the valuations, of the Stat* tax commission, is also likely to cause con­ siderable litigation and perhaps result in vitiating the tax rdlls.

An appeal has been taken from the decision of tne Circuit Court and the case is now penn­ ing in the Supreme Court. During the past year I have been re­ peatedly asked by tbe people of this county why the ’Thornappfe latke Drain" case has been so long criayed. and why the case was not al once ap­ pealed to tbe Supreme Court? Thinking, that. perhaps, a brief statement of the cause of the delay In this matter would be in order 1 submit the following ex­ planations : There is no provision In the drain law to provide for the necessary funds to the expense* of tarrying on said legal Sroceedlhg*. such om attorney fees, /win ecu. printing court records, etc., have to be met by voluntary contributions from the Interested parties on tho drain. In this case the attorney’s fees, court stenographer's fees, cost of printing court records, etc., aggregated about one thousarid dollars, and It required nearly one year, on the part of the Interested parties on the drain, to make provision for the raising of this money to meet said expenses’, before the case---- - •“ taken to the Supreme Court, While 1 deeply regret the unavoidable------appealing this case to the Supreme raised by the interested par’lea on the drain. There Is a common belief among many people that the coat of carrying on legal proceedings relative to drain matters is paid out of the county funds, which ia not true. River Drain.

Haying such a stream through my farm I have been Chinking up a very good plan for water gates. I have four or five gates made according to the plan, a sketch of Which I enclose. Tbe plan of gate. I think, is about as simple-as I/have seen. Upon one side of tbe stream an ordinary post is set. on the opposite aide n mnch longer post Is set. on the top of which is provided a pulley. The <ate can be made to fit the gap in the stream. having tn the tops of the cross pieces pulleys.

While farmer* and dairy­ men denounce oleomargarine as a fraud and want n law to prevent it from being colored yellow. they do not sell their own butter with its natural color, but use. a few drops of butter color to give it au attractive tint. I supply a few private customers with butter, and while ! do not claim that my butter is as dark a yellow in the winter as tn tbe mouths when the cows are on pas­ ture, yet It always has-color enough to look welt without adding artificial coloring to the cream. To make yeUow butter in the winter without artificial aid requires extra care in making the butter, in feeding the cows and select­ ing the cows. Borne cows will make a darker tinted butter than others. The Jersey cow* are perhaps the best for making yellow butter In the winter and firm butter daring tbe hot summer months, M butter color was not used this fact would add to the value of Jersey cows. . In feeding to make yellow butter I think there is nothing better than dir­ rots. With a good supply of these roots, together with plenty of clover hay and good coni and bran, with thright care in handling the cream, it Is possible to produce fine butter in cold weather. I generally have some blue grass left in the woods pasture In tbe fall, nnd the cattle can get a bite when there is no snow on the ground in the winter.—Jersey Bulletin. CONVENIENT WAXES GATE. Vice. The gate can be kept in place tiy driving some stnk.es down in tbe •oft ground, which will hold the gate to Its place except in high water. When tbe water gets up the gate will float out and'as it floats tbe weight will come down and rest on bracket, pro­ vided for thnt purpose, and will hold, it there until tbe water recedes, when the gate must again be put in place.— T.

It can be used with or without snow , I took two {yellow birch stumps abox t six inches through aud three feet lo~g for run­ ners. The two bunks were about the same size and 2 feet 8 Inches long. The forward bunk Is put on with one bolt In each end. so it can have a good chance to work. For the middle bunk I put two tw.oInch holes through each runner, then took a small, round birch of the size ■wanted, heated it hot In a fire and bent it in the shape needed to put over the middle bunk and the two ends down through the runner, then wedged them solid, but so there would be plenty of play. The nose of the runners must be made so they will not catch on ev­ ery’ rock or stump. This can be done by putting tbe forward bunk at the very end of the runner. The chain Is put on the log with a half hitch and flrawn through a bole through both bunks. Birch is the best wood, as it wears the smoothest on frozen ground. —A Michigan Farmer, in Farm and Borne.

A. W. Gilman thinks the late fall plowing will be beneficial, but it ahould be deep, as the grubs burrow down to a considerable depth to pose the winter. Various artificial-remedies have been suggested for this insect, one of which Is the mixing of wood ashes with the soil, which makes It very unpleasant for the grubs nnd in some cases has proved very effectual. The application of a strong kerosene emulsion, imme­ diately followed by a drenching with water, which carries the oil down to the insects, has been used very suc­ cessfully, especially on dry and randy soil. This Is a good remedy for small areas, but it Is doubtful if It would pay in fields.—American Cultivator. teen former and four present city offi­ cial* in Grand Rapids, charging them with accepting bribes in connection with the noted Garmau-Cameroa scheme for , supplying the city with water from .Lake Michigan.

Three Murders Mark Beginning of The Richards and the Bennetts, the largest nnd most prominent families of. Bradford County. Fla., have again de­ clared war to the death. A feud which has slumbered for years has broken out afresh. Eight years ago the feud rose, when three of the Bennetts and two of the Richards were slain. Recently when Deputy Sheriff H.

OLD COUPLE BURN TO DEATH. Mr. and Mrs. George Smith. 00 years old. were burned to death iu a fire which consumed their home. The couple lived alone outside of the city limit* of Grand Rapids. Mich. . The fire was discovered by neighbors, but before any help could be given the old people the building col­ lapsed. There is a strong suspicion that the fire was preceded by a murder and suicide. Tbe Smiths had not lived hap­ pily together, and only last Saturday Mrs. Smith told a neighbor that she was afraid of her husband; thnt he had threatened her, Maying: “If it were not for the law I’d murder you.” Smith also had told this neighbor that be intended to get rid of bis wife.

The operation* of two desperadoes on East St. Clair street Indianapolis, about 4 o’clock Tuesday morning bore n true western flavor. They broke into the office of the Michigan Lumber Company and .worked on a large safe in the place. The explosion awakened people in the neighborhood. A. W. Priuce, employed by the lumber company, opened hb front door nnd called out: “What are you fellows doing over there?” “Get back In there,” yelled the robbers, “or I’ll shoot the top of your head off.” Before Prince could withdraw the robber fired. An in­ stant later another explosion took place in the office and two men hurried, out carrying a small steel cash box and fired a fusillade into the air. An investigation showed that the robber* carried the steel box into an alley and opened it with tool*. There was only about $7 in IL The robber* destroyed several hundred dollar*’ worth of property.

Blount, cashier of the Chicago National Bank, and Albert Dean Currier, of the taw firm of Bouteil, Ourceivort. The court action took place nt 5 o’clock. By 8 o’clock they had quali­ fied by filing their bonds for $100,000 snd were on their way to Zion City with a heavy escort of United State* mar­ shals, constables nnd lawyers. Three creditors, with a.total of claims amounting Ito only $1,169, forced. Dowie into th* hands of a receiver. They were the H. B. Smith Machine Company, of Smithville, N. J., with » claim of $401; Elizabeth McCrimmon,*of Batavia, Ill., with a claim of $669; nnd Meyer & Wenthe, of Chicago, with a claim of $100. The attorneys for these three creditors were obliged to appear twice before Judge Kohlsaat before he.would grant their petition. Early la the afternoon he held that Dowie should be notified before •ueh action was taken. At the second hearing, however, the argument was made that such a notice would act against th* right* of the creditors, giv­ ing Dowie a chance- to conceal assets. The appointment, accordingly, was madt. Dowie knew that the receiver* and their aids were coming, however, an hour before they arrived. He talked over th* long distance telephone to Chicago, say­ ing he would take no step in opposition to the officers of the law, though he con­ sidered the court action an outrage. ‘This is not taw,” he said. “Thia i* a midnight marauding party.” He declared that Zion City was thor­ oughly solvent, that aN claims presented would be paid, nnd that his attorneys wonld appear in court to get relief from the receivership. “We will take action the first thing in the morning,” he said, vitriolically, “to rid ourselves of these bandits.” The lawsuits of'the last month against him—the joint causes of the present disaster—he characterized as “wicked, and malicious, and shameful actions, brought to produce a ruinous condition.” The debt* of Zion, he asserted, did not reach one-fifteenth of its assets.

Mr. Wilson says the department has mitde a strong effort to improve tho qual­ ity of seeds for distribution to farmers, but regrets that the work does not ac­ complish the-ends fer which the law was originally framed. He believes' thnt no practical benefit is derived from the dis­ tribution of seeds on congressional or­ ders, and. recommends that the distribu­ tion be coufineo to new and rare sorts. Macaroni wheats, he says, should not l»e grown where the fainfall is sufficient for the varieties of spring and winter wheat*. The value of nitrogen-fixing bacteria In leguminous crop* has been well established, and good crops of clo­ ver, hlfaMa and other crops have been grown on soils that have been failures without this bacteria. The department Is striving to secure the general adoption of more accurate and systematic methods of grading grains. The Secretary recommends a thorough study of our principal crops to determine the best locality for seed pro­ duction, and the advantage or disadvan­ tage of changing seed' from one locality to another. • Secretary Wilson reports a satisfactory development of the beet sugar industry. In 1806 29,220 tons of sugar were made, nnd a year ago 220.000 tons. Careful es­ timates put the present crop at about 200,000 tons. The growing of seed in the United States of a superior qualityis assured. He concludes that the indus‘try is now well established.

There are but few farmers, compar­ ed with the whole number, who do not plant a larger acreage then they ran attend to profitably, the conse­ quence being smaller crops in propor­ tion to cost than should be the rase. Instead of forty bushels of corn per acre the farmer should secure eighty bushels. The smaller yield Is more expensive than the larger, while tbe time expended on twenty acres is much greater than on ten. the manure also being distributed over too large n surface to permit of any portion of the crop receiving a stffficlency of yilant food. . If the expense and labor bestowed on twenty acres could be concentrated on ten, the yields would be doubled) and leave the farmer ten acres on which to grow some other ■crop. In periods of drouth the farmer who puts his work on the smaller plat will give It better cultivation nnd save bls crop, while other farmers may uot be so fortunate. Intensive culture leads to systematic rotation of crops, and the land will be Improved by a diversity of crops. All.farmers have manure, but they derive little benefit therefrom, because they endeavor to apply It over too much land. Give the land the plant food and It will re­ pay for all expense bestowed.—Amer­ ican Fertilizer. Grain and Milk Production. Rcaults as shown lu the milk pail do not Indicate so much difference, pound for pound, in the various feeds of tbe same class as is sometimes ■ claimed. Cottonseed meal, linseed meal, either new or old process, high­ grade gluten mail, may either one be Instituted for another In a mixed ra­ tion without showing much difference in the amount of milk. Whole meal from corn or wheat or oats, barley or buckwheat will produce about the same yield whichever grain Is ground.

Glasgow _____________________________________________________________ — �Hrri-,- The celebration of Christmas is a coin­ . biemoration of that night at Bethlehem ’ when Hie birth of n Child in a- stable foreshadowed the birth of Christianity, 'aiid yet the festival itself la one that ‘ event that it becomes lost iu a tangle of history aud fable. It is older than Chris­ tianity, it. is older than civilisation, for It is -.practically an adaptation of'thi^ fns• rival of the winter solstice, and the win­ ter solstice has. been observed as n sea*on ot feasting nnd revelry from the reynoto ages of antiquity. The transformation at this festival THE BOAR’S HEAP. from the Norse feast of Jul ano the Romao Saturnalia to the joyous Christmas celebration that we know waa a alow pro­ cess of evolution, for each step marked a corresponding change in the conditions that prevailed throughont the world. In the days when men and warden stumbled blindly toward the light the. doctrine of ‘‘peace on earth aud good will to tuen” made slow progress ngninst the ignorance and license of paganism, and it was not until n new civilization had come that the old festival assumed the fresh beauty offense five shillings as a fine to-the coun­ try." while, under tbe blue laws of Con­ necticut, for a man to have a sprig ot holly in his house on Christmas day was a crime for which he was punished by * fine of one shilling ana confinemenf in tbe town stock.- In spite ot all thv« ef­ forts to prohibit the celebration of this festival, Christmas finally crept into the country.

Marius No. 2135 is a Coach horse of Hie highest type- tie is a beautiful dark oay, four years old April 24, 191*4, sixteen and one-half hands high, weight 1,44V, with extreme high knee action and line disposition. Imported by Messrs J. Crouch Jc Sou of La­ fayette, Ind., July It), 1903. Messrs J. Crouch & Son are the largest im­ porters of tbe Great Oldenburg Ger­ man Coach burses in America, im­ ported 339 bead in toe last 14 months, the last importation of 100 bead arriv­ ing July 10, 19U3. The German Coach stallion is no longer an ex­ periment. It has been fully demon­ strated that no other breed of Coach horse will sire from all kinds of mares, tbe class of horses now being produced by them; they get the size, color, style, and tbe be-t of all, tbe extreme Knee action, -and at ail the markets demand the highest price. This country will be unable to sup­ ply the demand for horses for the next ten years to come and there never was a time when tbe breeding of good horses should be encouraged as at this time. This la an important question and one which every breeder shoyld study carefully. The foreign, as well as the homo demand is greater for coach and driving horses than for draft and chunks. ■ The great German Couch horses are the finest Coach horses in the world, the result of breeding in one line for a great length of time. This is a Coach horse of the highest type. His poinfi are advantageously placed with deep and wall proportioned body, strong and clean bone under the knee, and his feet open sound and tough. He possesses fine knee action, lifts his feet high, and gives elegancy to his Dace and action. He carries his head well, his neck being elevated and rangy, long and well cut up at throttle; fine ear, well set; broad fore­ head with large Intelligent eye; fine disposition to carry both head and tall high. Tbe German Coach horse, being so purclySnd strongly bred, reproduce themselves with wonderful certainty, and in the colt you see almost tbe image of the sire. This is not sur­ prising when we know these horses have been so carefully bred in one line by tbe German government for several hundred years and are prob­ ably the purest bred horses that live. The get of these horses is the horse that nas been long wanted and suits the eye of everyone, as he has the color, size, style, action and finish. Long experience in tbc-buslness, knowing all the breeders in Europe, speaking the German language, en­ able.. us th purchase the class of stock that suits America. We sell cheaper and give a better guarantee than any other Importer or dealer.

Tbe old question of the relation between collegs training for women and the marriage rate has come up anew, suggested by data contained In the general register of the University of Chicago. After having revised it I And that of the 583 women who have graduated from the uni veralty Id tbe last tea years only 1Q5 have mar ried. This leaves 82 per. cent of them still un­ wedded. Tbe percentage of single women, more­ over, seems to have a tendency to Increase. All of the three women who graduated in to married. Not one of the nine In next year’s class wedded. In 'U5 three out of eighteen married, and the proportion of the succeeding classes wns twelve out xof forty-two In DC, twelve out of flfty-one iu D7, seventeen out of sixty-three In D8. twenty out of sev­ enty-nine in DO, eleven out of eighty-nine In 1D00. nine out of 101 In ’01, and in '02 nine out of 128. In considering these figures several things should be kept In mind—tbr peculiar conditions at tbe University of , Chicago during its early years, tbe numtier of women who left before completing the college course In order to get married, tbe youth of recent graduates, and the significant statistics upon the destiny of college women which have been gath­ ered by educators and by students of sociology. The statistics which Mary Roberts Smith, associate professor of sociology in the Leland Stanford, Jr., Univer­ sity, collected a short time ago show that the college wom­ an marries two years later In life than the non-college woman of her family, and that the age of marriage for both has been growing steadily later during the last thirty years. The’ average age at which tbe college woman marries Is 20 and that of the non-college woman 24. From tbe same Inquiry It was learned that professional life for women after graduation .has had little Influence upon the marriage rate; before marriage more than one-half of tbe college women were engaged In teaching and nearly threefourths wfre employed outside their homes. From statistics gained by a canvass among college and " j FI FI K Jr Jl vTHE HOUR.

IMAGINATION IS THE OZONE OF LIFE. ****1 ' 1 MAGFNAT1ON and fancy were once synonymous rf terms, but their meaning has been di Reran Ha ted. fy This distinction is admirably stated by Emerson: fj “Fancy amuses; Imagination expands and exalts. K Imagination is the vision of an Inspired soul, but X as the stall is released a little from Its passion JL and at leiatfre plays with tbe resemblances and X. types for amusement and not for its moral end we call Its action fancy.” Imagination is tbe stellar system moving on in silent grandeur; fancy the transient meteors dashing athwart tbe sky. Imaglfiatlon is the eagle soaring on eager wing, tbe lark whose song filters down from the skies; fancy is the humming bird flitting from Cower to flower,-tbe butterfly fluttering In a field of fragrant clover. '4. Religion, clad In holy Vestments, with her shining face lifted to the sky, is powerless without the akl of thht crea­ tive faculty. All conceptions of the djvlne being, all Ideals of sainthood, all apprehension of Immortal life, all visions of paradise, are pure products of a chastened and reverent imagination, rejoicing to become the handmaiden of piety and instrumental In assisting man to apprehend nnd' achieve bls exalted destiny. All the flowers of Immortality bud and blossom in the perennial garden of imagination, luminol]*, with tbe “light that never was on sea or land.” and ♦ratered by penitential tears. The ideal Is life’s ozone; without it we sicken and per­ ish. But tbe Ideal exists only by virtue of the imagination, without whose vivifying force life would degenerate into mere existence. Imagination. In Its best estate, is the star of Bethlehem, guiding the sincere seeker to the ever blessed manger cradling the Christ; perverted, It becomes as ignis fatuus, luring Its deluded victim to remediless ruin.

It is a first-class and a well-preserved specimen of Its class. That prince of sporting weapons, the rifle of the American backwoodsman. It was the pioneers’ constant companion, alike his pro­ vider and the protector of his home, his always ready friend in every time of need. There are two imple­ ments that ought to be perpetuated in everlasting bronze, and those are the pioneers’ axe and rifle, and Without whose help, I doubt me not, this country were a wilderness yet. What fond recollections cluster around that old gun. It was my boyhood’s friend, you might say, if anything inanimate could be called a friend. It has been my solitary companion on many a day’s long tramp o’er hill and dale, “by woodland streams and sheltered nooks, by fieftis of green and run­ ning brooks.” It may not be of particular interest to my readers but I’m going to give the biography, as it were, of that “shooting iron.” It first came into being in the town of Adams, Berkshire county, Maasarhnsetts, somewhere about 1847. It was made to order for an uncle of mine. He used it until 1853, when he sold it lo my father, and when we moved to Michigan in the fall of 1854 it came with us. How well do I remember New Years eve, 1864, (the cold New Years). On that eve my father, ’ere he started for the seat of war, bade goodby to the wife and son that he was destined never again to see, and ■ before he left he gave to that son (the writer) that rifle, with the admonition to always keep it and take good care of it.

LOCAL AND PERSONAL. Tbere is a father living at « small town near Nashville who has a son living.in this village. Both are bibulously inclined and when they meet there is usually 1 ‘something doing.” Recently tbe old man was down town, I got his load, (aud it was a peach} and along toward teain time the son took I him in tow and steered him to the I station to take the train for home. Arrived at the depot, the old man went into tbe waiting room and settled I down for a bit of a snoot© while wait­ ing for the train. Tbe son, who bad I not absorbed so much of the juice as I the old man, knew that there was a I bottle of whiskey in the old man’s I overcoat pocket, and when the sleeper I had got to snoring in great shape he I slipped up and quietly abstracted the I bottle and proceeded to distribute it | among the boys. When only a couple I of good drinks were left, some one in I the party suggested that he had better I return that to the^old man. who* wouHF 1 probably be mighty thirsty when he woke up in the morning. Tbe son re­ plied, ‘'That’s so,” and started to! cork up what was left. Then tbetempt* er assailed him. He looked lovingly at the contents of tbe bottle, then around at the crowd, then at tbe bottle again, then raised it to his lipe, took all that was left at one swig, threw the bottle away, and heartlessly replied, “Let tbe old man eat snow in the morning ” And we’ll bet he did, too. Morris Ward had a funny experi­ ence recently, which he hasn’t been telling about, even lo his friends, but it leaked out- aud it is too good to keep. He had a tooth which was giving him much trouble and he came down to have it pulled. The dentist gave him gas and had tee tooth out in a jiffy, and turned Morris loose. When he got down on the street he waa still a little light-headed from the effects of the and after walking around on the streets for a few minutes he wandered 'into a phy­ sician’s office and told him he wanted a tooth pulled. Tbe physician asked him wby be didnH go to a dentist to bave it pulled and Morris replied that be had been to tbe dentist, who hail refused to pull it. Tbe physician finally got a pair of forceps and started to pull the tooth, and found it missing, but he bad a hard time to convince Morris that tbe tooth was not still there and aching aa badly Miss Florence Helen Welch, daugh­ ter of Rev. and Mrs. C.

The plow broke many of them, but more than fifty were unharmed. The Supreme Court has recently decided that the dishes belong to the owner of the farm, and not to the tenant who found them. Inasmuch as six thousand dollars hflt» been offered for one of tlie dishes, tbe decision Is of considerable Importance to the parties concerned. Tbe Incident itself might interest those who deolro to provide for their descend­ ants.

Then the newly married couple cited this as their creed: “We believe that personal independence and equal human rights can never be forfeited except for crime; that marriage should be an equal and perma­ nent partnership and so recognized; that married partners should provide •gainst the radical Injustice of present laws by every means In their power." It is gratifying to observe how, during the last half century, the various unfair discriminations which were the objects of Lucy Stone's “marriage pro­ test” have been rembved from the statute books and Jaws substituted which embody tbe long-looked-for justice.

Apparently as the result Xf the ad­ mirable experiments fn cavalry train­ ing made by Lieut Col. de Lisle at Hounslow, the now system of Instruc­ tion is to be Introduced Into the First British army corps, writes an Aider­ shot correspondent The Innovation will do away with much of the useless routine work which in the past has occupied so much of the cavalryman's time. From the beginning of tho training the alm will be to develop the cavalryman’s power of initiative and resource and genera] intelligence In the field. One of his first lessons will be to catch his horse when turned loose, to train it, and ride it across country Instead of around the riding school. The care of horses is also to be taught Men are to be Instructed In the treatment of minor horse ■ mala­ dies, how to judge and treat lame­ ness, and to tell good forage from bad. Outpost and advance guard duties, reconnolsaance duties and map reading are to be taught thoroughly. Parties of men are to be aent out to find tbelr way to fixed points entirely by the map. The art of scouting will be In­ stilled by the “flag stealing” game and practical trials of scouting, in which special stress is to be laid on intercept­ ing moves of the enemy, learning his strength without being seen, dispatch riding and making intelligible verbal and written reports. More attention is to be paid to firing. U** Pr°P«r appreciation of corer, rapid shooting. natural rests, shooting, recta, and the effects of wind. Skill at arms is not to be forgotten, and mounted combats and competi­ tions are to be instituted. To render charging a little more sci­ entific, an interesting game, somewhat after the idea Indulged in by the Ger­ man infantry, will be practiced.

Tom Cbesman met with a hold-up while coming home from Battle Cree* last week Wednesday night. A man grabbed hls horses by the bits and began to Jerk them. He was ordered to let go but this he refused to do.

It is not known just what the man’s motive was. but it is thought he was in­ toxicated and in nn ugly mood. Tom says be was not* frightened but vre don't know about £hat.

The fln.t sign of croup is hoarseness. A day or two before the at­ tack the child becomes hoarse. This is soon followed by a peculiar rough cough. Give Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy freely as soon as the child becomes hoarse, or ©ven after tbe rough cough appears, and it will dispel all symptoms of toe croup. In this way all danger and anxiety may bo avoided. This remedy is used by many thousands of mothers and has never been known to fail It is, in fact, the only rem­ edy that can always be depended upon and that is pleasant and safe to take.
