Branch of Sun­ field, who formerly lived near Morgan, were In the Pere Marquette wreck near Grand Rapids and both were quite badly injured. Mr. Branch sends us an interesting letter In regard to the wreck, as follows:. . “We went in the day coach and took the second seat in the front end of the car, the first seat being occupied by a traveling man. On the opposite side of the car Id the end seat was Mr. Baldwin of Mulliken and his wife and son in the next seat back. Just back of them sat Mrs. Gilea of Lowell. When I stepped Jn the car. a feeling came over me that everything was not right, and took the seat I did saying to myself that it was-nearest the door. I spoke to Mr. Baldwin and asked him if be ever realiied the great re­ sponsibility of the man who handles the throttle and the one who manages the running of the trains, and the traveling man In front of us said ho bad traveled over the twq worlds and bad been in two wrecks, and had just finished telling of one and stepped up to the waler tank, took a drink arid just resumed his seat when there was such a crash and shaking up that words fall to express. My wife and I were caught. I bad my left foot in the aisle and the seats in the other side of the car piled up la the end and caught my leg. The seats on our side of the car were piled upon us and my ankle and knee and also my wife's knee were badly damaged. The trav­ eling man had a leg -broken, while across the aisle nearly all were crushed to death. We were taxen back to the chair car and made as easy as possible for over two hours, then we were taken to Butterworth hospital in Grand Rapids where we were confined one week, and had the best of care. Mrs. Branch is yet con­ fined to her bed while I am out by the aid of crutches. It will be sometime before we will be well.” pointmeat was soon forgotten.

Eddie Foy. the chief Comedian of the company, stood out from the paniestricken group on the stage to assure the audience that there was no danger. Even as he ai>oke the great asbestos curtain was let down, caught on ou’e side and failed to work. In another instant smoke burst out from the top arch of the stage and from under the bottom of the curtain, and be­ fore a man or woman in the seats could rise the whole# roof of the auditorium was in n blaze." Two gas tanks explod­ ed in the Ulen on the east side of tlie theater, and black, choking fumes bent down in a cloud of death from every wall That wns all. Fear, uncontrollable and terrible, reigned. Men aud women fought like wild beasts, filled only with the desire for self-preservation. Little bahios slipped from their mothers’ up­ lifted arms aud in an instant their lives were crushed under foot. Girls threw themselves from the balconies and lay crushed nnd dying til! suffocaliou ended their miseries. Over 1.000 people in the orchestra •eats, with easy access to the doors, grad­ ually made their way to safety, but most of them threw aside wraps, pocketbooks, hats—everything that teemed to burden them In their rush for life and the open air. In spite of the panic, in spite of the auff«catiou. nearly all of them were rigged and turned into bridges, lint few got across alive. ■ These things were utilizeil fifteen min­ utes sifter the first alarm to drag-the charred Ixxlie* across, and over them passed rapidly one blarkeiinl corpse af ter another till every building on the north and west end wns fillet! with them. Barely five minutes after the first alarm was turned in firemen were strug­ gling into the theater, making their way, in some miraculous manner, through the maddened mob that was pouring out of the auditorium, and doing what little they could, not only to check tlie fire which was fast turning the whole interior shell into a caldron, but to aid the fran tic hundreds in the upper balconies by ladders stretched from the main floor. A few—thirty nt most—were rescued in this way, and tben^Zhe firemen, after controlling the flames, abandoned their lengths of huso to go'-with the fast gath­ ering police and manfully reach to what waited for them on the upper stairways and in the balcony seats. Here was no more struggling, no more fra:itic_hnste. Hundreds, with homes in 'iit of the city still showing at Mows Christinas wreathe, still their li'sthe decoratio us of the holiday filled i.v Wvond all thought of worldly things in silenvheaps of death. The# were uh .men. even among those most accustomed tb acenes of destruction nsd mortality, who could approach these fearful, •tilled masses calmly. Time and time again they .started toward the upper stairways, caught one another by the arms and eried like little children, stun­ ned by the horror of it all. And still, outride the main entrance to the building, passera-by, attracted by the presence of the fire engines, had no knowledge f the fearful disaster inside. Tens of thousands passed and repassed within a block without knowing it, even hundreds of men stationed in the road­ way. were asking one another it there had been any accident, if any among the audience had been badly hurt. But when from the inside began to stream a procession of firemen, carrying between them the charred remains of those who a little while before hnd been happy in the enjoyment of nn afternoon’s pleasure, the acene without changed as if by magic.

In a little while, with frantic thousands trying to batter through- strong lines of police flung across tlie corners of Dearborn and State streets, the bodies of tlie dead came faster, till it seemed as if there was no place to lay them. The north sidewalk of Randolph street for u "hundred yards was covered with these remains, packed side by side and covered with white blankets and table­ cloths.

The seats are ruined, the stage a wreck, nnd the full loss, it is thought, may be $150,000 to $200,000. As the first rush was'made for the foyer entrance to the balconies men, women and children were thrown bodily down the steps. Not since the fire of 1871, when 250 were killed, has Chicago bden mantled by stn-h a universal tragedy; never hns it received n blow so instantaneously shock­ ing. ' . The coolness of Foy, of the orchestra lender and of other players, who begged the audience to hold itself in check, prob­ ably saved many live* on the parquet floor. There were 2.000 persons or there­ abouts in the theater. Of that number 1.740 had seats. The rest were massed in the rear of the seats on tlie main floor and the first balcony. The newest theater in Chicago, th® playhouse declared to be fireproof from dressing rooms to capstone, burned till its stage was a steel skeleton and its wrecked interior n charnel house.

An attempt was made to confine the a great portion of the dead are children. It was a holiday matinee. It was vacartion tor the school children and tlie col­ lege boys. Not in the 305 days of %heyear could there have been such an an। dienee. Before the first fifty bodies had beencarried from the burning theater a score or more of ghouls had commenced search­ ing the piles of dead for loot. They filled their pockets. Ring*. bracelets nnd watches were taken from the dead. Ear­ HE business of amusing jx-ople is largely a business of show and glit­ ter. Six hundred dead, hundreds more cruelly maimed aud burned, and a great community in .mourning, affords Impressive proof that the theatrical business has Its serious side. The fire at the Iroquois Theater In Chicago was the moat appalling of disasters. In loss of life and In horrible details It stands first In the list of calamitous events in the history of the city. More lives were loot In in the theater 1 fire than in the Fort Dearborn massacre. In the Lady Elgin disaster, in th« burning of Crosby's Opera House, or In the great fire of 1871. More lives were lost in that half hour's panic than In any other hotel or theater fire In recent times. In the holiday week of 1903, tn the most enterprising city of the most progressive of nations, in the newest theater of a dty that has given more attention to the building and equipment of amusement halls than any other Id the West, occurred one of the most appalling tragedies of the nge. Tlie death list la larger than tliat of a bloody battle, and the horrors of the death struggle of the hundreds who lost their lives were more terrible than any battle. . The disaster was one of the worst of Its kind In the history of the world. A holiday audience, composed mainly of women and children. In attendance upon n showy extravaganza, suddenly found Itself trapped ami In Imminent peril of death iu a hideous form. With an advancing wave of flame nnd smoke beating‘upon them, the terrified people began a desper­ ate rush to escape. The theater la tlie newest in the city and was supposed to be as nearly fireproof as a then toe can be made. The builder# had tlie opportunity to take advantage of every known safety device and to draw upon the lessons of experience In the coMtmctlon of such buildings In all lands. Presumably equipped with sufficient exits and with every precau­ tion which human intelligence could devise, inspected and approved by city officials, this playhouse showed Itself to be only a deathtrap. There was a fireman on the stage, but his efforts, such as they were, amounted to noth­ ing. There was a “fireproof asbestos curtain" which would not work and which seems only to have served to turn the flamA more directly upon the audience. There were exits supposed to be adequate, but they were choked and lmp»«able almost upon the instant of the first frenzied rush for safety. GHASTLY HUMAN PYRE. In the presence of this overwhelming disaster Chicago becomes a house of woe. From end to end of the city there are eorrowing families. Children are gone arid -with them the fond elders, who, tn the spirit of holiday cheer, fire to the stage by lowering the asbestos bad accompanied them to an earertalnineDt of music, spectacle and comedy drop curtain, which is required by the women.

During the year 619,980 immigrants—steerage pas­ sengers—ahiver there, as against 547,497 in 1902, an increase of 72,783. The year of 1902 was a record breaking year, the Increase over 1901 having been about 139,000. As was the care during 1002, the heaviest Immigration was during May, when 92^56! steerage passengers were admitted at New York. Almost as many come in April. The Immigration was larger every month ot the past year, com­ pared with the monthly figure* in 1902, will*, the exception of the month of De­ cember. December. 1902, 36,000 immi grants, approximately, landed at New York. Last month the number did not exceed 32.000. Southern Europe contributed by far the largest proiH>rtiun of the total. There was, however, a marked increase iu the newcomers from northern and western Europe, especially Norway. Sweden and Denmark. Italy, nevertheless, leads ml the rest. The exodus ot Italian laborers, ■with whom the outward'bound steamers were loaded early last month, offset to some extent the heavy Italian Immigra­ tion. SOLDIERS CARED FOR. nual Report. According to a report made by Brig. Gen. George H. Burtou, who has just completed a tour of inspection of the various branches of the National Sol­ diers’ Home, it was shown last year that 33,157 old soldiers have been cared for. Tlie annual per capita expense of this maintenance was $141.70, which is an increase of 20 per cent during the past three years, ascribed to the general advance in the cost of food products. Of the inmates 25,168 nro drawing pensions of from $6 to $72 per month, aggregating a total of $3,100,734. Eleven members have cash balances of more than $1,000 each to their credit During the past year there were 1,863 deaths and 3,582 first admissions, which makes the deaths 52 per cent of the in­ crease, a decided increase in the death There are 1,441 acres of land cultivat­ ed as farms and ninety-eight acres an vegetable gardens in connection with the various branches. The value of farm products was $500,051, while the eoat of maintenance, which includes lawns, flower gardens, transportation and teams, was $92,403. Retail merchandising at­ tained proportions cxceeding all previous experience, and closed for .the holidays with total aalee muefe^ ahead of tbe corresponding period last ytear. Demand wae better sustained than had been anticipatea*. and the buying power of the people disclosed no diminution. All seasonable stocks show the effects of unparalleled con­ sumption. A gratifying feature was the improvement in purchases made of highpriced ware* ami articles of luxury. Oth­ er goods especially adapted to Christmas trade sold very freely, and the staple line* of wearing apparel, household needs and footwear wese readily dispos­ ed of. Estimates of tlie gain iu sales made indicate a probable average of 29 per cent over a year ago. Dealing* in hat* and cap*, smokers* articles ami gro­ ceries were largely swelled. Wholesale trade reports improvement p collections and sale* satisfactory, both in reassort­ ments and advance selections for spring delivery. The west-bound movement of merchandise shows well sustained vol­ ume, but a decrease appears iu the east­ bound shipments of foodstuffs.

The domestic demand for wheat is only moderate, but the price was forced up on the uncertain outcome of the Russla-Ja^sn dispute. Compared with the closing a week ago tbe net ad­ vance is 1% cents.

There Is more or less carting to be done on every farm, and It Is not al­ ways a good plan to do the lugglug and ' waste more or less strength, which might be saved by tbe sled wheel­ barrow. The illustration shows, how easily the farm barrow, whether of the box type, as shown, or with the flaring sides-. may be utilised. A broad runner ia made (see figure 1) of two pieces, of iDcb board, with an upright piece which bolds tbe runner to the axle of tbe barrow. This runner ia faced with sheet Iron (the blacksmith can put it on at small expense), which also runs up at the ends. Remove the axle from the bor­ row. if it is round. as it probably Is. nnd insert a square axle of wood. Have a piece of iron made like that shown at figure 2, and apply It to axle and runner, as shown In figure 3. It should be screwed to the upright strip, which is fastened in the runner, and bolted to the axle. Tills sled barrow can easily Stick to Yoar^MBlaoM. It Is tbe man who hummer* away that Succeeds. Tbe last two years have given great hog prices. Many rusbt-d hcAdlong into tbe hog business. The hog market is very discouraging, as a result. Many wUl call tbe business unprofitable and will, perhaps undertake tin* growing or fettling of some oCher class of live stock. It takes time to be prepared to handle bogs properly, and the man who docs it in a profitable way will not lose money when tbe pricea are low; and if be sticks to tbe bnsiueas. the rising tide that Is sure to follow every depreored or glutted market will reap him a nice profit. The same Is true In regard to the raising of any class of farm animals. Cattle, sheep; hops and horn* have their ups and down* in tlie market. Tbe winner in tbe end Is the one who chooses the class of animals be likes, prepares himself to take care of tb«n weU. uaas g«x»d blood, and continues business through adversity as w*ell as during the balmy days of prosperity. Generally speaking when everytxxiy sells out and prices are low, la a good time to stock up: when everybody turns buyer, hnd .hogs, cattle or nbeep are eagerly sought for. It is a good ttat to sell. The sure, certain road to a good income is ip cheese a line of work and follow R closely. The other oper­ ations are really side lines and can go with the ups and downs-oY tlie market. —St. Paul Dispatch.

The young romatic actor, Travers-Vale, in “TheOld Plantation,’’ a melodrama of the sunny south which will please every patron of the house. The com­ pany Is at the Grand this week, and the Grand Rapids Press says of it: “Thu Old Plantation,’’ the offering at the Grand, has the usual elements of a strong melodrama, with its vill­ ainy and nobility touched up in a dif­ ferent fashion by Travers-Vale, the young dramatist whose works have been seen here before, and who hat, pe­ culiar fitness for writing to the taste of the popular audience, and writing some things pretty cleverly, too. The Ct creation of this piece appears to that of Gustave Leroy, the Acad­ ian, who is a little unique in the melo­ drama because he repents of wrong doing and displays true worth of char­ acter after all. Travers-Vale wrote this part for himself, and handles it effectively. Louise McCallum proved vivacious as Katie, and the rest of the parts were well taken.

It was during the period between November 24 and De­ cember 24 that the rumor gained quite a circulation that the dances were not band benefits but were run by myself and that I was using the band's name without any authority. Albert Hecox and Del White quit the band immed­ iately after the uniform dance, October 10, on account of some grevience, which I have not been able to learn and are the originators of this rumor, which is in direct contradiction of feelings and their vote in the band room when the agreement was made. Later I found there were three mem­ bers of the band who were willing to deny that they were band -benefits, al­ though their vote and influence was responsible for the making of the con­ tract with me. In the face of these circumstances I could not continue the dances and without them or some other means of raising money, together with the an­ tagonistic clement that was working, there was nothing to do but disorgan­ ize or become demoralized, so they chose the former. These rumors have left the Impres­ sion with a great many that I have been a beneficiary of the Nashville band. Here are a few things 1 did a. ft..

It was its first production here and judging by the enthusiastic man­ ner in which it was received, it proves a welcome offering. The play bristles with bright lines and the dramatic climaxes are most effective. The company is a very capable one. Miss Louise McCallum as Katie Seareele establisned herself a great favorite. She Is br-ght, winsome and clever. Travers-Vale as Gustave Leroy and George Montseral as Seedy Punkin made individual hits. The plav is full of comedy and several specialties were given with good effect. The southern scenery is exceptionally good.” There is plenty of wholesome come­ dy, striking situations, thrilling cli­ maxes, and a pretty love story runs through the piece, which is character­ ized as being to the south what **Xhe Old Homestead” is to the north. As this will be the only dramatic event at the opera house for some lime, all lovers of the drama should make it a point to attend. Reserved seats are now on sale at Von W. Furniss' drug store. for which I made no charge: called ext-a rehearsals; played Decoration Day, Fourth of July and all the con­ certs on the street; played for the uni­ form benefit dance, October 10; bustled and secured a band room and a great many other things necessary, which would have been neglected had it been left to the band. I am willing to allow any one who has heard tbe band play and who knows the time they have been organized ( all beginners) to judge , whether they have had value received or whether I have been their benefi­ ciary.

More funerals were held in Chi­ cago Sunday than ever before in a slnftte day in an American city. According to the burial permits of the health depart; ment, 25G bodies were buried that day in local cemeteries or shipped out of town. Of these 226 were bodies of those who had list their live* in the Iroquois Thea­ ter fire. Funerals of fire .victims began Friday, when eighty-nine were buried. One hundred and ninety-seven were in­ terred Saturday. In the three days giv­ en over to burials, foneritl services were said over 512 of the bodies. 283 of whit^h have been placed In Chicago burying grounds and 229 shipped to a distance. But eighty Identified dead nnd six un­ identified remained on Monday to be consigned, to their last resting places. All tho identified dead were inferred by Tuesday. Funerals began as esriy as 7:30 o’clock Saturday morning. All day long, with crisp sound of wheels crunching on the snow, they lined the streets-lending to cemeteries in an r I most unbroken pro­ cession. Many bodies were not lowered Into their graves until after sundown. Fifty bodies were interred fa Graceland, forty in Calvary, thirty in Forest Home. At one time in tile afternoon thirty bod­ ies were being lowered in the graves nt one time in Grncvland in plain view from the roadway.

From Bogers Park to Kensington, from the l^ke shore to the Austin prai­ ries, tho bells called to each other from spire and church tower, from belfry and minaret, across tbe wind-swept, snowdriven spaces, mingling their broken voices to toll one mighty knell for .the passing of nearly (MX) souls. In a driving snow, which fell all day long, and in n temperature only a few degrees above xero, nearly 200 funerals were held. Through the night before, ghnstly lights by tlie score had burned iu the darkness above tho snowy desolation of the city’s cemeteries. They were the lanterns of grave diggers working over­ time upon the graves. All night they toiled. in relays and nil Saturday and nil Saturday night nnd they continued their labors Sunday and Sunday night. There were ninny combined funerals of relatives who died in the fire. Sev­ eral whole families were laid away to rest together. In consequence many fu­ neral processions contained two and | three hcarges. One contained four„ n ! black bearsc bearing the remains of a mother leading to the grave three little white hearses carrying tbe bodies of her three children. Funeral processions that shouldered through the weather to the graveyards were small. In most case* ouly two or ; three carriages followed the hearses. The large*! funerals of wealthy people had no more than ten or twelve. Carriage* sod hearses were scarce and undertakers had much ado to make them go roam!. Harry J.

According to the Tribune an inade­ quately protected “spot light" machine, close to which hung the frayed edge of the arch draperies, made the combination that caused the fire.

"Come. Douglas, the story!” And Vance, who sat on a fallen log at the base of a huge tree with Myra and Flor­ ence. became at once the .center of at­ traction. "Is there n story connected with tlie falls? I'never, heard it?*’ said Myra, removing her large blue eyes from the faqe of Louis Le Dru, and gazing dream­ ily out of tbe foamy cloud ot spray and wnter just beyond them. “It Is nothing more than an old India* tradition.” said- Vance. "Ami I shall not be likely to prove a very fascinating story teller. But as nearly as I enu rec­ ollect it, you shall have it.” The listeners gathered around In groups, and Vance began tho legend. CHAPTER VII. “Many years ago.” the story ran, “when Indians were thicker here tlmn trees are now, and the trees were thicker than the Indians, then* livi*d among them a beautiful maiden, the. daughter of a - great chief.” "Of coarse!” put in irreverent Maggie. But without heeding her, Vance went on: “She was tlie star of her father's lodge, the light of her people. beloved and hnppy as the day Is long. At last there came a white man to the tribe who pro­ fessed to love La-yu-na, and won her love in return. He gave her costly gifts, decked her with jewels, and wandered nil dky upon the banks *f the river with lifer. She never doubted bis truth, and believed every word when he promised to forsake his own pale-faced nation for­ tver, adopt hem, and make her his bride.” “And then he didn't do It!” said Mag"Surry to say he didn't. He left her tc return to his people, promising speedily wigwnm. But he never came back. The chieftain's daughter waited long and pa­ tiently. sighing and pining, hoping in vain for the return of ber false lover. But no token of remembrance ever reach­ ed ber. So at last La-yu-na gare.lt up, awl ber heart broke. She dressed her­ self in her richest robes, decked herself with all tlie jewelry he had given ber, walked out to the edge of the cliff yon­ der, sung ber duutb-aong. and with one long, wild cry. leaped over the cliff, nnd sunk forever in the whirling waters, which to this day are said to be haunted by the spirit of the Indian girl.” There was a moment’s silence when Vance ceased speaking. Then some one said. “Look at Myra Leslie!" They all turned toward Myra, who sat > over thoi i “Why, Myra, child, did I frighteni you?” asked Vance, kindly. Slowly Myra drew her gase from the waters, and, with u long-drawn, shiver­• ing breath, said: "No—but—I seem to see that poor■ girl, plain! I felt for n moment ns if it; were my*elf! Ugh!” with a cold shud­ der, "uon't ever let me go ^ar that hor­. rid cliff! But how she muff hare lovedI him! Ugh!” with another shudder, "it make* my flesh creep to think of it!

Those magnetic black eyes of hi* had fascinated her frohi the very first time she saw him, and well he knew his power. Not much was -said during the short rambla which preceded the call to dinner. But many passionate looks and danger­ ously sweet tones haunted Myra’s dreams all night, to tho utter exclusion of one memory of honest young Dr. B/ir nett, who. in the room back of his dingy little office in Frankfort,' dreamed of sweet Myra Leslie as the guiding star of his future.

The message begins by recalling the act of Congress "to provide for the construc­ tion of a canal connecting the waters of the Atlantic and Pad fie Oceans," approved June 28. 1002. This act provided that- the President should obtain the property of the Panama /Canal Company and the per­ petual control of a strip six miles wide across the Isthmus of Panama.

A "love affair" is believed to be the cause of the suicide of Walter Dale of Denver, 14 y*rs old, who killed himself by taking c ic acid.

This was not only contrary to the inter­ cats of tbe United States, but it would have involved Colombia with France, n friendly nation; against whuoe interfer­ ence we should have .been compelled by tlie treaty of 1846 to Interpose, thus in­ viting a serious war. As Colombia was thus acting in bad ’faith with us. We were no longer bound to oct in good faith with her. Aa” a matter of fact, however, we did keep faith with Colombia, ns long as it was possible to do so. Under tbe treaty of 1846 dur sole duty was to guarantee the neutrality of the isthmus and to keep Uiteroocanlc traffic free find uninterrupt­ ed, nnd in landing troops on the isthmus during the revolution .that is all we did. -As tietween the-Colombians nnd the rev­ olutionists our troops maintained a strict neutrality. The general rule is sound that a Mew state should not be recognized as inde­ pendent till It baa shown its ability to maintain its independence. But there are exceptions, and this was one of them. Our departure from tbe rule was justi­ fied by three reasons—vix., -our treaty rights, our nationn.l interests and safety, and the interests ot collective civilization. After discussing these reasons in elab­ orate detail, the President iays: ’’In my opinion no disinterested and fair-minded observer acquainted with the circumstances can fail to feci thnt Panama had the amplest Justification for separation from Colombia nnder tbe con­ ditions existing. And moreover that its action was in the highest degree bencficisl to the interests of the entire Civil­ ized world by securing the immediate op­ portunity for the building Of the interoceanic canal.’* But, says the message lu effect, what­ ever may be thought of tlie notion taken by the .administration, whatever was done has been done and cannot be un­ done. Meanwhile; the only..question now before us is the ratification of the treaty. "The question, nnd the only question," sriys the President, "is whether or not we shall build nn isthmian canal."

A plant at Niagara Falls is taking ni­ trogen from the air by electrolysis. but not yet in commercial quantity. Prof. Lap worth, regarding the moon with k geologist's eye. feels convinced that It. Is an active and living world. Three months ago Dr. Pusepp, of 8L Petersburg, carried a small quantity-of radium in his vest pocket for six hours. A few days later a painful wound ap­ peared on his body and all efforts to heal it have so far failed. Dr. A. Negri, of Pavia, announced last March the discovery of the specific ml:ro-organlsm of hydrophobia. He now states that he has examined more than 100 dogs with natural or lab; ratory hy­ drophobia, and has never failed to find lhe specific micro-organism in the nerve centers. On the other hand, he has never found it in other dogs. The Idea that comets arc connected with radio-active substances was sug­ gested by T. C. Chamberlain, as longago is July, 1901. Prof. C. V. Boys now conciders that radium, whose particles are shot out at a twelfth of the velocity of light, may explain some of the phenome­ na of comet's tails, as these particles would be sent away from the electrically charged surface of the sun in a single, louble or multiple stream. The nega­ tively charged rays that radium Is said to give out would be attracted, giving the tails that on a few occasions have pointed toward the sun. FOR THE EYE OF THE COOK.

He is there, clad in armor, ready to say discour­ aging things and use his influence to sidetrack it unless its one of his own valuable suggestions. He will tell you your idea is all right but that he had been thinking of something quite original that would be of real value to all concerned. If you ask him what he thinks of any growing enterprise and compare It to a big rolling snow ball, he will shrug his shoulders and say that snow balls melt in the spring. If the weather happens to be balmy and fair, he is always uneasy for fear it is a weather breeder. If the roads are rough and hubby, it beats thunder that we can’t have good sleighing in the winter anymore and when the snow is deep enough to insure any amount of sleighing, he wonders if its ever going to let up and so on. When it rains be wants sunshine and when the sun does shine its so beastly hot he wishes it would rain. If you haven’t met this old pessimist just you advance some new idea and see how soon he bobs into existence with a bunch of ‘'but,” "what if,” "supposing,” "you can’t,” "aren’t you affraid?” and all that sort of thing. His old cranium is jammed full of horrible examples, tales of failure, disaster and a mess of dis­ couragement that will sidetrack the best promoter that ever walked. He is a politician also and he is not a party man either for it maxes no dif­ ference which party ia in power, things are certainly going to the dogs, "them chaps down there are having a three miles southeast of Olivet, Mon­ day night, when the 3-year-old son of Charles Hogle was burned to death. The father was away from home and when Mrs. Hogle stepped from the house for a moment the clothes of the child in some way caught fire from the kitchen stove. Recalled by the cries of her babe, the mother attempted to smother the flames, but could not, and, becoming frantic, she siexed the child and ran a quarter of a mile to a neighbor’s house. Here the flames were extinguished by rolling the babe in the snow. The boy lived three or four hours and the mother was badly burned on one arm. Mr. and Mrs. Hogle are young people and this was the only child. While war is daily expected to ma­ terialize in the far east, Germany and America have in the meantime had a decided engagement which, while of short duration was very serious (?) while it lasted. Two prominent mem­ bers of the “Lime Kiln” club got into an argument recently at "head­ quarters” and while no blood was sued it required all the forces of the diplomata of the club to avert a gen­ eral uprising. The trouble was started over an exclamation of the German member, who tn making it plain put the exclamation point in his hand and pasted it on the Yank’s bead with accustomed German force. The Yank is not pugilistically constructed and after he got hiu head up from between his shoulders, proceeded to preface a flow of bad words with a flourish of a big cane. They were hastily sep­ arated and a "protocol” signed, and by its terms neither of the participants are allowed c voice in the meetings for thirty days. LOCAL AND PERSONAL. Show Saturday night.

So. nt Marcia’s bidding,, he rode gaily •way, to Leslie’*.. The clouds made good their threat, and rained again. This, of coarse, prolonged Mr. Le Dru’s morn­ ing call Into quite a visit- It was al­ most dinner time when he returned nnd ■ delivered into Marcia’s hands the little package which Maggie, sent over. He omitted to tell her that Maggie had only remained in the parlor a few mo­ menta. and then left Myra to entertain him during hie long call. But Maggie did not apprehend the slightest danger to her young sister from being left un­ der Mr. Le Dru’s influence, and his al­ lurements had ceased to be effective with her. Having really given her_troth to Lionel, she was loyal to him in word and act; and because she knew he would rather she did not remain in Louis’ so­ ciety. sfie had quietly excused herself aud left the room. The engagement between Lionel and Maggie was not kept, a secret. Perhaps Lionel fancied he would l>c more secure iu his treasure if every one knew she belonged to him. . The Iwtrotha! was to be celebrated iu good, old-fnshioned style by a large party, to which nil the gentry for miles around were bidden, and near­ ly all the invitations accepted. CHAPTER IX. These pood, pid-fasbioned Kentucky folks did not wait until the hour when ordinary people go to bed to begin their revels. The hour was yet early when Marcia ran down to the parior where Le Dru nnd Vance were waiting.

Florry was there, dressed in pure white, without jewels save a small dia­ mond cross attached to a, narrow black ■velvet ribbon, and worn around the neck. It had belonged to her mother, and was therefore of great value to her. Flor- happinen, and ’it was this which made her smile so sweet when the little party from Douglas Hall drew near. But Marcia read it differently, and for one instant her heart rebelled. The next she gave Florence a warm greeting, and took a scat close beside her.

It may have beerf obstructed by some projection or on account of de­ fective operating . devices, or in conse­ quence of friction against the brick pros­ cenium wall, due to expansion of air or gases resulting from burning scenery and from stage doors being open. “The giisen produced by the fire being highly heated and thus made much light­ er than the cold outer air, were forced upward by the inrush of the air through the stage door, and, finding no opening above the stage, wen* forced into the nuv ditorium and compelled to find escape at the top of the houee, following nat­ ural laws, the action being similar to large, open, old-fashioned fireplaces, with the flue closed, the proscenium arch cor­ responding to tho fireplace opening and the space over the stage to the wails of the flue. “We further find that the loss of life was due: First, to panic, coupled with the fact that exits were not designated. Steps wore found placed at door oj>enings, and numerous doors were locked or bolted with devices not familiar to the general public. All exits were not man­ ned. Independent gallery stain, required by law, were closed gainst exit by a dead-locked door at the foot of the top flight. The arrangement of these stairs was of faulty construction as to width, pitch, turns nnd railings. The outer iron alley shutters, not being opened and swung back against the wall before the performance, were opened later during the panic, nnd prevented people from continuing down the fire escape on ac­ count of the crossbars getting caught on tbe railing of the fire escape, thus effec­ tually blocking the passage. “Second cause wnw asph'yxiatlon, duo to the first hot blast of smoke aud gases from the stage. “Third cause was on account of exits being blockaded ns a result of people falling, and on account of the fact that fire escapes from upper exits passed low­ er exits out of which flames were burst­ ing.” GOES TO ST.

A light heart and a steady nerve are too much for bad luck. Remember the old saying: “Laugh and the world laughs with you, weep and you weep alone,” Harold Albright was taken sick with tonsllitis at the home of H L. Brown Friday. The symptoms were so alarming at first that the health officer thought bast to quarantine the house until there was no possibility of its being diphtheria. In a day or two the child was so much better that the quarantine was raised and he is now about recovered. The prompt­ ness of the health officer is to be com­ mended. If all physicians exercised as good care, many a serious out­ break of communicable diseases might be prevented. It is much better that a few people be penned up for a few days needlessly than that chances of a general epidemic of diphtheria or some other dread disease should bo allowed. 7theLast Sunday was the worst day of winter up to date, and that means that It was pretty bad. At no time during the day did the mercury get higher than five above zero, and a severe blizzard raged all day. At night the thermometer registered from 17 to 22 degrees below zero in differ­ ent portions of the town, and from the country c4me reports of still colder weather',J The severe cold has continued all the week, gradually di­ minishing in severity, but it is still recognized as winter weather.

The Michi­ gan Central have managed by almost heroic efforts to get their trains through nearly on schedule time dur­ ing a greater portion of the week, but the noon train east on Sunday was abandoned entirely, not starting out from Grand Rapida. The west-bound Bunday train did not get through until dark. Emmett Smith is the subject of con­ siderable anxiety on the part of his friends, who fear that something is preying on.his mind. Ordinarily he appears all right, but at other times his mind seems to wander so that he loses himself from his surroundings. For instance, the other morning he arose and started to dress, laid his trousers on a chair, built the kitchen fire, and when he came to complete his toilet his trousers were missing. He hunted all over the house with no suc­ cess and finally called his wife to get up and help find them. She saw at once that one of the spells had come on him, and instead of helping him find the missing garment she stood and looked at him. Emmett began to get warm under the collar of his un­ dershirt and insisted on Mrs. Smith helping him to find the trousers, but she could stand it no longer and com­ menced to laugh, whereupon Emmett recovered himself, looked down and found that he had the trousers od, said something that sounded very much like------------- , kicked over the teoffending chair where he supposed bo had placed the trousers, finished dressing, and bolted for work, still lick the editor for telling about it.

Bcaalona After working on it nearly all night the Chicago Council passed the new the­ ater ordinance early Tuesdaj morning by a rota of 4“ to 8. Numerous amendments have rendered1 it so stringent that its en­ forcement should make the amqsement places of the city reasonably safe for their audiences. The new ordinance ap­ plies to existing t heaters aa well as those which are yet to.be constructed. The provisions in reference to seats, aisles, mid exits, it is believed by many of the Aidermen. will reduce the seating capacity on the main floor of every thea­ ter in Chicago 20 per cent and prohibit the use of-'gafieriea entirely. Balconies are made impossible of construction, in the opinion of some of the theater man­ agers. Tho provision that is fatal to galleries requires that the rise between banks of senti shall’not exceed eighteen Inches. In the Iroquois it was twenty-five inches, nnd in other theaters the rise Is more than twenty inches. The ordinance re­ quire* balcony seats to be provided with an aisle leading direct to an exit behind each five rows of seats. It also provides that no theater shall be allowed to exist whose lowest bank of seats i» more than twelve feet above the street level. * The younger nij animal the more mineral matter It requires In Ha food. When ’ very young pigs are growing they nre producing bone very rapidly lu proportion to size, and consequent­ ly require more phosphates in their food, especially of lime in a soluble condition. Milk contains all the nec­ essary substances for pigs, but after a‘while they become of such sixes as to be unable to consume enough' milk to supply them, as they must drink about eight times as much water In the milk ns there nre solids.

A far Northern contemporary object* to the phrase, "Life Is a lottery," and goes on to repeat tbe time-worn plati­ tudes that "Life is an opportunity.” a "struggle," etc. But life may be both an opportunity nud a battle, and yet have some of the features of a lottery. In the first place, men nnd women nre uot responsible for their temperament which makes or mars fortunes nnd renders life happy or the reverse. We think as our temperament inclines us, and here- does fate lay a heavy hat’’ upon us at the very outset of existence. Then there is the bare chance of being born into a well-to-do family with civ­ ilized Instincts and so having the ben­ efit of solicitous care bestowed on one's health and education. The child l»orn into a cross-grained, unhappy, perhaps struggling family Is surrounded by un­ fortunate Influences. There is the lottery chance of draw­ ing a health prize. To be born with a strong constitution in addition to a genial and care-free temperament is an Immense advantage. To be born nervous, rickety, subject to fits of de­ pression from childhood is nothing leas than a calamity.

Country merchants are for the present cautious in the extent of their selec­ tions, and disposed to defer, their prin­ cipal commitments in textile goods, with the prospect of a heavier business being negotiated in seasonable time. Retail trade has been somewhat retarded owing to llroken weather, but the consumption of necessities is of fair proportions. Failures in the Chicago district are mostly among small traders, the total being forty-seven, against twenty-eight a year ago. . Grain shipments, 2,436.483 bushels.

He made an enviable record during the last session. He is one of the strong men of the senate. He gives assurance that he is in accord with the strong primary election sentiment of the dis­ trict. He represents his district and can do more for it than any new man That is what the people want. I be­ lieve any man who faithfully repre­ sents his constituency should be .'re­ warded with a second term and there­ fore I unqualifiedly favor his renom­ Ination and request that my' name be not considered as against bl* candi­ dacy.” This practically leave* the field clear to Senator Glasgow, who in all probability will be nominated by ac­ clamation. And this is what should be, as he certainly could do more for his district in a second term than a new man could. and when such men as Mr. Dickinson of Eaton county as­ sure their aid -then Barry will rest her case and feel confident that she 1* getting what rightfully belong* to her and that the spirit of friendliness which ba* heretofore existed between the two counties will not be broken.

It has been a mystery to many whp know how many trout have been ____ planted in Quaker brook and its attribularles, where they all go to. Millions have been planted in several small streams south of here and yet few have ever been known to have been caught. Recently the cause of many of them disappearing was dis­ covered in a novel way. A hunter tracked a mink along one of these small streams and the track finally led away from the stream and to a brush pile. Thinking the mink was In the brush pile be began tearing it down. After getting to the bottom of it be discovered a couple of boards and prying them up found they cov­ ered a spring and upon further inves­ tigation found it was full of trout. This started him to looking around and he found that lhe spring wanicely boarded up and a small stream ran from it to the larger stream and where it left the spring a trap was made so that when the trout got into the spring they could not get out. He covered it as he found it and immed­ iately notified the game warden, who, the next morning, hid near the spring, and he had not long to wait for pres­ ently the farmer came out with a wheelbarrow, a potato scoop and a couple of crates and proceeded to scoop up about a bushel of nice trout. The game warden made his appear­ ance and threatened the man with ar­ rest, but whether be could take him for any violation of the game laws was a question, ax he claimed the trap was put in to keep frogs, and that he wm not taking the*trout from any stream. So the matter rests until the game warden can get instructions from the department. However, the' warden placed a screen in the stream so that no more trout can get into the farmer’s trap. JUST AS GOOD AS SETTLED. The papers and politicians in this senatorial district are having consid­ erable to say lately in regard to a sec­ ond term for Senator C. L. Glasgow. Especially in Eaton county is there a good deal of re-bash being served up over the resolution in regard to sec­ ond terms which was passed at the last convention. These resolutions in question were passed with a definite purpose and were understood by those who framed them that should Senator Glasgow prove a goo<> man and serve his constituency to their satisfaction, and that should Barry county wish to return the senator Eaton county would waive the resolutions and acquiesce in his nomination. That was the spirit of the resolution committee and in view of the senator’s enviable record iu the senate, it is only just and right that he should be retnrned. L. D. Dickinson of Eaton township, Eaton county, who was considered the strongest candidate Eaton county bad for the place, in a letter to the Char­ lotte Republican last week withdraws from the race and in part says: “Ma. Editor: The Republican, in an item a few weexs ago, stated that I JUDGE SMITH'S PREDICIMENT. To be In a bath tub absorbed In tak- sensations which accompany it, by people pounding on the front door with the information that your house was on fire is a condition to try the souls of most men. But such was Judge Smith's predicament Monday morning shortly before six o’clock. W’orkmen on their way to the wool boot factory noticed a blaze and smoke Issuing from the cellar and gave the alarm. They were admitted and through their efforts and the use of a hose in the cellar lhe fire was ex­ tinguished without any serious dam­ age being done. Jt had originated from a box of chemicals in the cellar,the box and shingles on top of it being burned to a crisp, and the fire was spreading to the beams overhead, it was discovered just in the right time, for in a few minutes it would have been beyond easy control and a big load of shingles and other in­ flammable material in the cellar would have made 1; .spread rapidly. The family feel very grateful to the men who gave the alarm and who left before adequate expression could be given for their timely assistance.— Hastings Banner. NEWS AROUND HOME.

They are the two principles which have stood face to face from the beginning of time, and will ever continue to struggle.

A house divided against itself canffot stand. I believe this government cannot endure permanently half slave and half free. I do not expect the Union to be dissolved. I do not expect the bouse to firil, but I do expect it will cease to be divided.

Four score nnd seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent a new nation, conceived in liberty and dedicated to the- proposition thnt all men nre created equal. Now we arc engaged in n great civil war testing whether thnt nation, or any' untion, so conceived nnd bo dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battlefield of that war. We have come to dedicate u portion of that field as a final resting plnce for those who gnre their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting nud proper thnt we should do,this. But in a larger sense we cannot dedicate, we caunot consecrate, we cannot hal­ low this ground. The brave men. living mid dead, who struggled here, have con­ secrated it far above out poor power to add nr detract. The world wQl little not® nor long remember whnt we say here, but it can never forget what they did hero. It is for us. the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for ns to be here dedicated to.the great task remaining before us—thnt from those honored dead we take increased devotion to thnt cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion; that wo here highly• resolve that these dead .shall pot have died iu vain; that this nation-under God shall have a new birth of freedom, nnd that government of tbe. people, by the people nnd for the people shall aot perish from the earth. Fondly do we hope, fervently do,we pray, thnt this mighty scourge of war may speedily pass away.

With malice toward none, with charity for nil; with firmness iu the right as God gives us to sec the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in; to bind up .the nation's wounds; to care for him who shall have borne the battle and for his widow and his orphan—to do all which may achieve and cherish a just and lasting, pence among ourselves and with all untions. , The shop was the country news stand nnd the lecture platform, and it was there that Abraham Lincoln learned many of the stories that he told in after life. It wob here that Dennis Hanks told the story of Sykes’ dog. a story that Lin­ coln told to Grant after the fall of Vicks­ burg, and which was one of the most famous of Lincoln’s stories. . Sykes had a dog that waa a nuisance, and some one fed him a large cartridge that exploded, and the animal never amouuted to much after that as a dog. Lincoln’s application of the story was that those who were complaining of Grant for paroling so many of Pember­ ton's array did not realize that otter the fall of Vicksburg it did not amount to much ns an army. The Crawford school, which Abraham Lincoln attended, was situated about three miles from here. It was built of round logs, and was not more than aix feet high. Some of the older persons in this coun­ try remember their parents telling of An­ drew Crawford, the teacher, and his brother, Joelah Crawford, the latter known as “Blue Nose” Crawford, a name given him by Abraham Lincoln. Joelah Crawford once loaned Lincoln a copy of a “Life of Washington.” and Lincoln got the book wet, -for which Crawford charged him 75 cents, a debt that Lincoln paid by working for three days pulling fodder. The local hlatory la that he never for­ gave Josiah Crawford, and the name “Bine Nose," that it is said he gave him. Is part of the legends of Spencer County to his day. Of the enemies that Lincoln made, none were greater than some meraberx of the Grigsby family, many of whose descendants still lire in this neighbor­ hood. Sarah Lincoln, sister of Abraham, married Aaron Grigsby, and two years later died. Abraham, it is said, always declared that his sister waa not properly treated by tl>e Grigsbya. This brought alxiut a social feud.—Gentryville (Ind.) Corre­ spondent St. Louis Republic. Took the Doorkeeper’s Place.

Hans Swiliger and his wife, Katrine, were sitting by the kitchen fire one evening not long ago. Mrs. Swiliger was engaged in sewing a patch on a pair of Bwifloer's pants where tbe most wear came, while he was engaged iu tbe favorite occupation of holding down a soap box back of tbe stove. Thecal and dog were taking a quiet siesta on the warmest side of the kitchen stove, while Mr. Swiliger himself seemed engaged in deep meditation. Sud­ denly be broke the silence by exclaiming. “Vite I pelive I vill get mine life insured.” His sudden outbreak so disturbed tbe cal and dog that tbe cat began purring, while tbe dog got up, turned around throe times and dropped down again in tbe same po­ sition he was before.

He was conducted into tbe ball and seated on a dry goods box in front of tbe Worthy Grand High Mongul of tbe order who was one of Huns’ neighbors but at that time be could pot have dis­ tinguished him from the king of tbe Fegi Islands. Hans cast his eyes about tbe room, hoping to see an acquaintance but ail were so disguised that ho could uot recognize them; some ns old patri­ archs with long white beards and snow­ white hair hanging to their sbouldrs; others as young warriors, carrying speers. All were as quiet ar a ward politician after being defeated for office and tbe conceit all taken out of him. Tbe Worthy Grand Mongui heaved a deep sigh and addressed Hans as follows: “Stranger bow oometb thou within our gates! Why bast tbou thrust thyself into my royal presence! Speak before I order thee borne away on tbe spears of my noble warriors. ” Hans was beginning to wonder where tbe funny part of the play came iu. He finally sayed himself from the spears of the warriors by saying, “Your honor, I ru come here to shorn in your grand order put I can't say dot I shust like your vays.” < "’Tis well,” said his highness, “per­ haps thee will like our ways better farther on. Stranger within our gates, tbou art welcome, but before thou proceodest to join In the main circus, which is yet to come, thou must answer a tew simple questions.

He traded cows with the widow Dooley, giving her a seventeen year old excuse for a cow, having but three teeth left and giving about a quart of milk a week for a fine four-year-old cow, giving her three bushels of frozen potatoes to bool.” Hans hitched about on the box, looked toward the door, which was se- H.n, clew ol >l>e bo«.

But ho thought his life would be. more secure in Mexico than it would be Ln front of even a Spanish battery. ’ “Stranger.” began lhe high mogul, "it baa been proven beyond a doubt, that thon art not worthy ot becoming a knight of our grand and chivalrous order. Aye, worse than that, it bast been proven that thou art a defaulter, a dead beat, and a traitor and a detriment to tbe community and were If not for tear that the governor would pardon thee. I would recommend thnt thou be put in the penitentiary. As it to we have thee within our power and society expects much from us and we will not disappoint it.

Mv noble warriors bring the rope, away with the traitor and prepare him for his doom." . Hans was partly carried and partly dragged into another part of tbe room. A four-legged stool was placed directly be­ neath a ring placed in tbe ceiling. The stool, was made in two parts fastened to­ gether with hinges, a rope being tied to each side so that by jerking the ropes the stool could, be made to collapse. Hans was told to mount tbe stool which he re­ luctantly did b* the help of the warriors. A rope was then put through tlie ring in tlie coiling and fastened in such n way thnt it woujd slip with the least puU and run through the ring with ease. The rope was then placed-about hto neck and a handkerchief lied oyer his eves.-a warrior look bold of each rope and got ready to jerk when their chief gave tbo word. Hans was then told that he would oe given five minutes in which to make con­ fessions of any misdeeds whk;h might be burdening hi* mind. _Hc was so badlv freighteoed that ba could hardly speak, but managed to say. “Yer honor, I vas very sorry for vat I has done. It vas all true and a whole lot peaidcs, vich I can't link of now. lite is loo short. If yer honor vill spare me to mine vamily, 1 vill be der best veller vat you ever had in your whole generation." Just then a chorus of voices were beard In the distance, saying, "When lhe devil was sick tbe devil a saint would be; but when the devil got well a devil ot a saint was be." "Time!” shouted the great warrior, "jerk!" The ropes were jerked, tbe stool collapsed, and Hans came to tbe floor, striking on his feet, but being weak from fright, his knees shut up like a jack knife and bo lay in a heap on tbe floor. It took nearly half a pint of liquor to put him on his feet again and then bo looked about in a dazed sort of way. "Stranger,” began the worthy grand, "it is evident thou wast not born to be hanged, but tbou shall have another chance to join tbe great secret society whose anti-room is the world and whose lo '<?e room la endless space. Noble war­ riors, bring forth tbo guleatlno." A large block wsw rolled into tbe room. Fastened to it with a hinge was a great and ugly­ looking knife, at the sight ot which Hans would have again collapsed had not the warriors held him up. “Haiti" shouted tbe grand chief. "I have repented somewhat. I hare con­ cluded to give the rascal a chance for his life. There may be a small spark of good­ ness left in him, which if faned by our fiaternal leachings m*y yet make him a fit person to associate with honest people, 'false him before tbe altar.” He wm ooudtseted to tbe altar over which bung sus­ pended from the celling a siring of bologna sausage.

She moved to Michigan with her parents at tbe age of eight years and was married to Laverne Greenfield April 18, 1899. For months she was a patient sufferer from tuberculous. She was converted in the winter of 189" and afterward united with tbe M. P. church at Banjvllle, continuing faithful and loyal to God and the church until Jesus called her home. She was adellgent and cheerful worker In the cause of the master ^nd has left to her associates an example worthy of imitation.

Tbe tendency ot medical science is to­ ward preventive meat-ures. The best thought ot tbe world is being given to tbe subject. It is easier and better to Sreveal than to cure. It has been -fully emontlratcd that’'ncumonla, one of the most dangerous diseases that medical men have to contend with, can be prevent­ ed by tbe use of Chamberlain's Cough remedy. Pneumonia always results from a cold or from au attack of influenza (grip), and It has been observed that tills remedy counteracts any tendency ot these diseases toward pneumonia. 'This has been fully proven in many thousands ot cases hi which this remedy has been used during lhe great prevalence of colds and grip in recent years, and can be relied up­ on with implicit confidence. Pneumonia often results from a slight cold when no danger Is apprehended until it is suddenly discovered that there is fever and difficulty in breathing and pains In tbe chest, then it is announced that tbo patient has pneu­ monia. Be on tbe safe side and take Chamberlain’s Cough remedy ai soon as the cold is contracted. It always cures. For sale at Central drug store.

Two or more strong, active young men will be selected from each fire company, and will be relieved from duty for an hour or more, two or thres days a week, in order that they may' attend ths lectures of the Red Cross "school.” Each delegate who thus .receives i»rfftruction at first hjmd is expected to im­ part this information, io so far as may bs practicable, to the fellow members oCbis company, in order that all the fire fighters nf the city may thus become con­ versant, in a general way with ths theory and practice of the new scheme.

After nearly eight hours’ deliberation, upon the testimony of 179 witnesses who appeared at the inquisition held over the remains of the 587 victims ot the Iroquoia fire disaster in Chicago, the corener's jury Monday night presented a verdict which recommended thnt eight persons .including Mayor Harrison, Will J. Davis and Fire Chief William Musham, be held to the grnud jury to answer as being responsible for one of the most frightful theater fires ia the world’s his­ tory. The finding touches first upon the cause of the fire. It laid the origin of the fire to a floodlight situated on the right hand of the stage facing the auditorium, from the heat of which a grand draper}' trOf; ignited. The jury found that nearly all the building ordinances relat ing to I hea­ ters were disregarded, including those portions of the building ordinances apply­ ing to fire alarm boxes, fire apparatus, dampers and flues on nn«L over tlie stage, fireproof scenery nnd woodwork, exit signs, aisles and also found that the as­ bestos curtain was wholly inadequate and worthless. It considered the general con­ struction of the theater well planned, but denounced the pitch of the top bal­ cony ns being extremely dangerous in case of an emergency. A damaging de­ fect in the wide /stair* lending to the gallery from the extreme top cost en­ trance was held tn have been responsible for fifty or sixty deaths, ns it was taken for a regular exit, through which many walked only to be caught in a trap agaiust locked doors. For all of which violations the jury placed the Responsibility upon Will J. Whitaker Wright Cnnvicta*. Few tenoed, and Die*, Alt in One Bonn A London jury Tuesday doomed Whit­ aker Wright to seven yean* in prison, but a higher court changed the verdict. An hour after his conviction the man who ranked with the Humberts na the was dead—he hnd cheated the cell nnd the grave wns his lot. Heart disease, which attacked Him. probably as a result of the excitement incident to the ending of the trial, was the cans* of death. Some said he hnd committed suicide. Early -in the day justice spoke its word and decreed that Wright must suffer for fraud through which the Brit­ ish public lost more than $100,000,400. After n twelre-day trial -the jury in the King's beuch division of the high court of justice found Wright guilty on all the counts nnd he was sentenced to seven years' penal servitude. Wright fled from England about n }ear ago nfter the great London and Globe Finance scandal Imd become pub­ lic. March 15 he was arrested iu New York as be left the French liner Lor­ raine with his niece. He spent his time iu the I.udlow street jail until his extra­ dition. At first he was willing to go back without papers and gn-ve out long interviews, declaring he was honest and deeply wronged, his misfortunes and those of the people high nud low who trusted him being attributable to the treachery of others. But n hard fight was made before Wright finally returned to England. The London Globe Finance Corpora­ tion. of which the late Lord Dnt£erin was the nonury 1 president, went to smash Dec. 29, W00. The crash was provoke*! In a measure by the Boer war and its attendant financial stringency. When the concern failed thirteen brokerage firms went to the wall. • STORM CAUSES A WRECK.

Elder Clapp of Battle Creek preached at the Evanc schoolhouse Sunday evening on "Evil." He made the statement-that God created all things, among them evil; also that he crested evil for a purpose, for witbout first knowing evil we could not know good; that tbe unrighteous or those who were dead In sin. or full of evil, should become as ashes under tbe feet of the righteous. To use his own words, "The unrighteous would become as ashes under tbe feet of tbe righteous, thus wnen the unrighteous man was quickened by tbe consuming fire of God's love in bls heart the process of decaying away of the old body, or burning, would continue until be became a new man, ora righteous one " This fully explains how the un­ righteous should become us ashes under tbe feet of tbe righteous.

We had deepened one-half of our basement and put in a cement floor getting ready to convert the entire basement into a press-room, and just as the cement work had been completed about a half of the east cellar wall caved in. Talk about a “sweet mess!'’ We certainly had it. Fortunately the freeze came Sunday and prevented any further caving and the wall has been laid up again, but for a few days we had our own troubles. Fun has its place. When everybody is good humored and a ripple of laugh­ ter breaks out or echoes merrily through the house, you need not tear that very much is wrong. Fun la wholesome. It shuns malice and envy and all uncharitableness. Fun has no sharp weapon to stab or dull one to wound a brother’s head. When peo­ ple are full of fun they are full of un­ selfish love. The villain who steals your purse, the assassin who thrusts at you in the dark, the ruffian who at­ tacks you on the highway, has.no fun about him; be forsooth, is in horrible and deadly earnest. If you are dis­ posed to be blue, if you are not quite well, if anything is a wee bit wrong, try what fun will do to ease the load and send you forward safely. Last fall A. R. Wolcott purchased six hens and although a small matter, yet his experiments with them tend to prove many things In the producing of hen fruit. All winter he has “har­ vested” from four to six eggs a day, and at the present prices, this is no small amount, and he has come to the conclusion that they require a good deal of attention and that a small flock well taken care of will produce twice as much profit as many more who are allowed to “scratch for them­ selves. ” The time has arrived when the hen is to receive her just recogni­ tion and unless something unforseen happens the price of eggs never will get as low as in former years. The poultry man who has handled his fowls just right is reaping the benefits of the high prices. If the hens are not iaying.and they are of an ago when they should be, the thing to do is to see that the rations furnish the egg producing qualities. ----------- An alarm of fire Tuesday afternoon was caused by a small biaza at the house of H. H. Baughman, near the river. The Are caught from a. defestive flue, but was discovered and extinguished by the neighbors before the fire department arrived, although they were on hand promptly. The whistle gave the first alarm, the rope at the bell being off the pulley so that it was impossible to ring the bell. While driving on Main street Thurs­ day afternoon Flav Feighner had a lively experience. The thill bolt on one aide broke and let the cutter swing to one aide and the horse be­ came frightened and came up the street at a lively clip, with the cutter following at an angle of about fortyfive degrees. When they arrived at Flav’s place the horse iurned into the alley and Flav, seeing that there was going to be a smash, tumbled out and let go of the lines. The cutter struck a stairway and was totally wrecked in an instant and the horse took a lively turn around town with the thills dragging, but was finally caught withoufbeing much the worse for his run. Flav was unhurt, but the cutter has gone to the junk pile. The icy. sidewalk is the feature of winter that makes the world laugh when the other fellow falls. Next to the recalcitrant stovepipe in the fall, the girl and the gate in the summer time and the mother-in-law at all seas­ ons, the icy sidewalk has by custom and tradition gained highest rank as a source of hilarity among all except the man who slips. There is nothing so unfailing as a leveler of mankind. It receives the highest with even great­ er eagerness than.the lowest. It is the test of the Christian either in his own fall or Ln his negligence that causes others to fall. But there is a serious side to it for the man who falls. It ought to be made to have a serious •ide for the man who permits his walk to be icy. A bucket or two of aches or cinders will save many a man’s re­ ligion and bones. It is better to think of this while the religion and the bones are whole.—Grand Ledge Independent. Fred M. Warner is out with a state­ ment of his views on the primary election question, and the statement is certain to please Mr. Warner’s many friends in this section of the state. He gives a clear and concise statement of the question, and indicates that he is in favor of a law which will effectually do away with the corrupt use of money in ^politics, and will enable those counties which need primary election laws to have them, while not making primary election mandatory upon those counties which do not need or want it. At the same time he will, if elected governor, sign any primary election bill which the legislature sees fit to pass. He gives in brief a resume of the election laws of the various states which is interesting to a student of the primary election questioh. The contest for the Republican guberna­ torial nomination has practically nar­ rowed down to Stearns and Warner, and we believe the chances arp largely in favor of Warner, the fact that he is a poor man as compared with million­ aire Stearns to the contrary notwith­ standing. We believe things have reached a point where something be­ sides wealth will be considered in making a nomination. We can get along without millionaire governors for a term or two. YOUNG-AUSTIN. On -Wednesday afternoon of this week Mr. and Mrs. Benjamin Austin walked over to the Baptist parsonage and were soon followed by their charming niece, Miss Martha A. Austin, and Rev. Jno. T. Young, tbe beloved pastor of the Baptist church in Unionville, Mich. Tbe little party having gathered in the north room, Mr. Young produced the necessary legal document that must proceed the act of matrimony in our revered commonwealth. Some little difficulty was experienced on account of a color discrepancy. The parties mentioned in the document were described as being white, while those who had pre­ sented themselves for marriage bonds were a decided pink. However this difficulty was satisfactorily explained and the ceremony was consumaied with great delight to the contracting parties. May the blessings of onr God accompany them through many years of wedded life. The bride is well known and be­ loved in Nashville for her modesty, gentleness and industry. Her Christian character and virtues make her the fitting companion for a Christian minister. The groom came from Pennsylvania a few months since and has won for himself a good standing in the ranks of the Baptist ministry of this state. Mr. and Mrs. Young will spend the remainder of tbe week visiting among her relatives in this community. They will take the early train Monday morning to roach some lecture appoint­ ments of Mr. Young’s. By the close of the week they expect to be at home in Unionville. Rev. Youxyr may occupy the Bap­ tist pulpit Sunday morning. How­ ever if he prefers not to do so his many friends in the village will ex­ cuse him on account of the oettsion. NUMBER 2S LOCAL AND PERSONAL.

Glasgow di di d> w a Take The News The tendency of medical science is to­ ward preventive measures. The best thought of the world is being given to the subject. It is easier and better to prevent than to cure. It has been fully demonstrated that pneumonia, one of tbe most dXnirurouM diseases that medical men have to contend with, can be prevent­ ed by tbe use of Chamberlain's Cough remedy. Pneumonia always results from a cold or from an attack of influenza (grip), and it hns been observed that this remedy counteracts any tendency ot these diseases toward pneumonia. This ha* been fully proven in many thousands ot cases in which this remedy has been used during the great prevalence of colds aud grip in recent years, and can be relied up­ on with implicit confidence. Pneumonia often results from a alight cold when no danger is apprehended until it is Auddeuly discovered that there is fever auddifficulty in breathing and pains In the chest, then it Is announced that the patient has pneu­ monia.

WORST IN WORLD’S HISTORY. A section of the city of Baltimore, four blocks wide and three-fourths of a mile long^ is a mass of ruins today as a result of a fire which started Sun­ day forenoon and was only controlled after-30 hours work on the part of the firemen of that city, assisted by bri­ gades from nearby cities. The prop­ erty loss is variously estimated at from two hundred millions to three hundred millions. Two deaths have been reported and about 55 injured as • result. Tbe great Chicago fire, which occurred more than 30 years ago, is yet a subject for conversation when big fires are spoken of, but the Baltimore fire, so far as property loss is concerned, exceeds it by many mil­ lions. The loss at the Chicago fire was <190,000,(XX). This is, no doubt, the worst fire in the world's history. FEEDING BUTTER FAT. The following by Ex-Governor Hoard of Wisconsin will be of inter­ est to our dairymen: “In Wisconsin we have gone through experiments on this very subject that have cost u* over <2,000, to see if we could feed butter fat into the milk or increase the percentage of butler fat. It can not be done. Now, understand that. Wa-will suppose that a cow is giving 4 per cent, butler fat in her milk. Can we feed her so that she will give 5 per cent? Many men think so. I have tried it in so many ways that 1 have Si ven up trying, because it can not be one. I can increase the amount per day, temporarily, of butter fat. I can increase the amount per day, but I have never been able to make any per­ ceptible change In the relation of the solids to each other. For instance, there is 3.5 per cent casein, 4.7 per cent sugar, and 4 per cent of butter fat; and there it stays right along. I have never been- able, in all the time that I have been at work at it, to effect any change in the relation of tbe solid constituents. If it were so, good friends, don’t you see it would be very easy'to take a Holstein and make a Jersey oMt; or very easy to take a Jersey and make a Holstein of it. if you could change tbe per cent? Tbe percentage is practically fixed. What is the reason, then, that some cows give a richer milk than others? Be­ cause they are bred so, and not be­ cause they are fed so. At our cream­ ery there have been over 27,000 teste made of milk. We made 12,000 tests at one time in all conceivable ways— chemical analyses, testa of the Bab­ cock apparatus, and all sorts of teste, and I want to tell you what I know. There is a temporary variation some­ time*. It passes up and down like the mercury. But, notwithstanding that, I know it Is nnt lasting, because there are certain other causes which change it the other way and change it back to about the normal standard. All sorts of conditions affect the cow's cream—feeding conditions, stabling conditions, etc.,—all these thldgs do produce a temporary variation. Some of these things may make a difference in the cows, and hence a change of feed might sometime* stimulate the se­ cretive organs, and you do improve the flavor, and your lactometer will change up and down in'the milk, but it is simply temporary. The average percentage remains about the same." IMPLEMENT DEALERS’ ASSOCIA­ TION. The formation of tbe Michigan Im­ plement Dealer’s Association which was effected last week in Lansing , of which C. L. Glasgow was made pres­ ident, uu for the purpose of getting the dealers together in order to talk over the most economical method of conducting tbe implement business, how to avoid the many losses and ex­ penses which operate to increase the cost of selling, and to devise some means whereby the operation of such manufacturers as have formed trusts that dictate to farmer and dealer just what he must pay for goods and how and when and where, may be met and fairly dealt with. Nearly all the lead­ ing machine companies have united and agreed bn a price for their goods. They dictate to the dealer what he must buy at aud what he must sell at, thus cutting out all competition. Tbe price of goods have been advanced and selling terms restricted. The dealers realize that only by standing together can they protect their c_stomers and tbemselve? and they ask the hearty co-operation of every farmer in tbe success cf this new movement in which dealer and farmer are equal­ ly interested. this is a stroar i long-lived line of sb made by.

A use to which skim milk, butter­ milk, or even whole sweet milk is not often put is paint-making, yet this product of tbe dairy makes possible oue of tho moat enduring, preserva­ tive, respectable, and inexpensive paint* for barns and outbuilding*. It cost* little more-tban whitewash, pro­ vided no great value is .attached to the milk, and it is a question whether for all kinds of rough work it does not serve all tbe purposes and more of the ready-mixed paint, or even prime lead and paint mixed in the best linseed oil. It is made as follows, and no more should be mixed than is to be used that day: Stir into a ?alIbh of milk about three pounds of Portland cement and sufficient Vene­ tian red paint powder (coating three cents per pound) to impart a good color. Any other paint powder may be as well used. The milk will bold the paint in suspension, -but the ce­ ment, being very heavy, will sink to the bottom, so that it becomes neces­ sary to keep the mixture, well stirred with a paddle. Thb feature of the stirring is the only drawback to the paint, and as ite efficiency depends upon administering a good coating of cement, it is not safe to leave its ap­ plication to untrustworthy or careless help. Six hours after painting, this {taint will be as unmovable and unafected by water as month-old oil paint. I have beard of buildings twenty year* old painted in this manner in which the wood was well preserved. My own experience dates back nine years, when I painted a small barn with this mixture, and tbe wood today—second growth Virginia yellow pine—shows no sign whatever of decay or dry-rot. The effect of such a coating seems to be to petrify the surface of the wood.

Then all men knew it was to be a struggle to the death. ■ Hardly a bettor instance does history afford of patience under provocation, of Flogged determination under difficulties, of unconqiieaitble wiil nnd courage, holding on so long nnd coining out triumphant at last over such mighty opposition. These great qualities, ns we hnve already seen, belonged to the man more than to tbe soldier. It wax indeed the great man behind the xoldicr, the man with the great patriotic heart, with the wise head, nnd the lofty, unshaken soul. that brought ux through that long and tromendous struggle and gave ns our glorious place ami opportunity tunoug the nations. No other man on this continent but he could have done it. Greene, among the generals of the revolution, would have come nearest to it, but he would have faileti. But in looking over the whole field nnd record. In* the light of all the facts ntnl history, it will be seen that Washington made no military mistakes, that he im­ proved all hto opportunities, that his generalship will stand the test of criti­ cism. He struck whenever he had the chance, his plans were good, and when compelled, hto retreats were masterly. WASHINGTON’rCOACH.

The fire of the Russians seemed to fall short and no damage apparently was done to Japanese vessels. In the meantime a fleet of Japanese warships suddenly appeared before tlie harbor and opened fire on the lone cruis­ er that bad been left on guard and on the fortifications along the shore. These re­ turned the fire with a will, but again their shots fell short. When the other Russian warships returned the Japanese steamed away In the direction of Dalny. Brii..«at Exploit of Japanese. The attack of the Japanese fleet on Port Arthur wa* one of the most daring exploits of narnl history and shows well the skill and courage of the Japanese sailors. In opening with a torpedo at­ tack they practically repeat the tactics that gave them such an advantage at the beginning of the war with China in 1894. The Japanese, disclosing that thorough condition of preparednea which is accept­ ed aa proof of the highest genius in war, struck a heavy blow at the Russian ships in theis own harbor and escajied without serious injury. One does not need to point out that the successful torpedoing of Russia's two greatest battleships shows on tha ons side precision based upon absolute knowledge and matured plans and on the other side lethargy and incompetence. The capture of two good cruisers from the Russians is tbe same to the Czar's navy as the destruction of four such aliips, since now the two will fight against their former owners. The disabling of one more battlechip nnd four more cruisers during the fightlag of the day at Port Arthur cut* down still further tha ssa strength of the Czar. It seems a reasonable deduction from the results of the bold and succeMful operations of the Japanese navy against tha Bn Milan warship* at Port Arthur and Chemulpo that Japan in tbe first day of actual hostilities secured itself agaiaat invasion. While tbe Russian warships and seamen in die far east hare beco rated by all naval experts ns imswnacly inferior in effectirenesa to those of the Japanese, there wns a chaws that the Russian eomtnxudcrs and crews would disciGxe surprising effectireuesw Ln war. In fact, however, the expected happeasd. though In aa aoexpectwi manner. nt the rapidly moving enemy, but without avail. Then followed a second explosion nnd u tfiird and the huge battleship Pol­ tava and the cruiser Boynrin met the fate of thjp Czarevitch. Nine torpedo boats hod discharged their terrible mis sites and three of the proudest ships in tl>e Czar's magnificent navy were on the vsrge of sinking. Fleet Comes in Darkness. Having done their deadly work, the littie craft steamed rapidly buck toward ’the open sea, where now could be dimly discerned the outline of the massive war­ ships of the Japanese fleet, how msny could not be told, but according xo the best advices no fewer than ten of the fastest sailing vessels of the Japanese nary. The battle now became general. Broad­ side after broadside was fired by the' Russian vessels, while the shots of the Japanese did effective work. Several of the Russian ships sustained damage. The forts about the harbor's mouth joined in the battle, but all the shots seemed to fall harmless. The Japanese bad succeeded in getting the range, but the Russians were not so fortunate. 8team was crowded on the 'imperial warships and the commanders made all speed for the inner harbor. Bo badly were the vessels damaged that it was found necessary to beach them, nnd within a few minutes after the battle began they were grounded in the narrow entrance to the harbor, effectually blocking* the pas­ sage and preventing tbo gunboat* cooped up there from reaching the open sea and as effectually preventing the rest of the Russian flcat from entering the harbor. • deficiency bill, was pending when th* .House adjourned.

Both warships had been lying off Cliemulpo. So soon as the Koreitz was with­ in range of the Japanese squadron she launched two torpedo tubes. The Japan­ ese immediately opened a henry fire on tlie Koreitz. The Variag hurried up to the aid of the torpedo gunboat, and both warships returned the Japanese fire. The battle lasted for some time, with slight damage to either side, when the Russian warships retired precipitately. Early next morning the two Russian sea fighters, which had repaired their damages during the night, made a dash out of the harbor. It was a desperate effort to escape from the watchful Jap­ anese fleet, resembling in its hopeless­ ness Cerrera's memorable rush from the harbor of Santiago. The guns of the Japanese squadron covered the entrance tn the harbor where the Russians had token refuge. Aa the Czar's warships emerged, belching shot and shell, the Japanese opened fire on them. Shells disabled the Variag, her steer­ ing gear was knocked out of commission, her gun turrets battered, and within half an hour after the morning's engagement began she sank. The Koreitz fought un­ til a ahell, exploding in her magazine, rent her asunder. -Tha crew* of the two ships struggle^-into the water, and the survivor* were picked up by the French' cruiser Pascal, which witnessed the ter­ rific battle. The Japanese squadron proceeded on its way to Chemulpo, where troop* on board the transports were landed. A Russian officer who lattly returned from the far east is quoted by the Mos­ cow correspondent of the New York Times to the effect that the Russian Pa­ cific aquatlron possesses at least two sub­ marine boats.

"Well, judge, you see me and a man named Potts went into partnership on a dog We bought him. He was a setter, and me and Pott© went shares on him ; so's to take him out hunting. ■ It was never exactly settled which half of him I owned and which half belonged to Potts, but somehow I kinder formed an Idea in my own mind that tbe hind end was Scudder’s and the front end Ports’. Consequence was that when the dog barked I always said: There goes Potts' half exercising itself/ and when the dog's tall wagged I always consid­ ered that my end was being agitated. And, of course, when one of my hind legs scratched one of Potts' oars, or one of first because that sorter thing was good for the dog; and. second, because the thing would get about even when Potts' head would reach around and bite a Notice.

He. was the foolishest dog about that I ever see. Used to chase his tall around and around un­ til he'd get eo giddy he couldn’t bark. And you know I was skeered lest It might hurt the dog’s health, and as Potts didn't seem to be willing to keep his end from circulatin' In pursuit of my end. I made up my mind to chop the dog's tall off. so’s to make him reform and behave. So last Saturday I caused the dog to back up agin a log, and then I suddenly dropped the ax on his tall, pretty close up, and the next minute he was booming around that yard, yowling like a boat­ load of wild cats. Just then Potts came up, and he let on to be mad because I’d cut off that tall. One word brought on another, and pretty soon Potts sicked that dog on me—my own half, too, mind you—and the dog bit me In the leg, bit a piece out. See that—look at that leg! About half a pound gone; et up by that dog. "Now. what I want to see you about, judge, Is this: Can’t I recover damages for assault and battery from Potts? What I chopped off belonged to me. rec­ ollect. I owned an undivided half of that setter pup, from the tip of his tall clean up to his third rib, and I had a right to cut away aa much of It as I’d a mind to; while Potts, being sole owner of the dog's bead, is responsible when he bites anybody."’ T don't know.” replied the judge, musingly. 'There haven't been any de­ cisions on cases exactly like this. But what does Mr. Potts say upon the sub­ ject?" “Why, Potts’ view is that I divided the dog the wrong way. When he wants to map out his half he draws a Hue from the middle of th© nose, right along thesplpe, and clean to the end of the tall. This gives me one hind leg and one fore leg, and makes him joint proprietor In the tall. And he says that 1! I wanted to cut off my half ot the tall I might have done It, and he wouldn't-ve cared; but what made him mad was that I wasted his property without consulting him. But that theory seems to me spittle strained, and If it's legal, why I’m going to dose ont my half of that dog at a sacrifice sooner than hold any interest in him on those principles. Now, what do you think about It?” "Well,” said the judge, T can hardly decide so important a question off-hand; but at the Wat glance my opinion is that you own the whole dog. So when he bites you a suit won't lie against Potts, and the only thing you can do to obtain justice Is to make the dog bite Potts also. As for the tall, when it Is separated from the dog, it Is no longer the dog's tail, and It is not worth fighting about” "Cant sue Potts, you say?" "I think not” "Can't get damages for the meat that’s been bit out of me?" T hardly think you can.” "Well, well, and yet they talk about American civilization, and temples of justice, and such things. All right Let It go. I kin stand It; but don't anybody ever undertake to te-l me that the law protects human beings in their rights. Good-morning, jffage.” “Walt a minute, Mr. Scudder,” said the judge; “you've forgotten my fee.” "F-f-f-fee! Why you don't charge anything when I don't sue, do you?” "Certainly, for my advice. My fee Is ten dollars.” "Ten dollars! Ten dollars! Why, judge, that’s just what I paid for my half of that dog. I haven’t got 50 cents to my name. But PH tell you what I'll do. 1*1 make over all my rights in that and fl bites sure as my name’s Scudder. Potts owns the whole dog now, and Scudder guns without onv-N. Y. ■Weekly.

CHAPTER XXL The preparations for Maggie Leslie's wedding went on bravely. The neigh­ bors for miles round were bidden. and the Frankfort merchants did a thriving trade in art-cies purchased for the first wedding, with an eye to their being of service at the second one, expected soon to occur at Douglas Hall. They were very busy there, too. That is, everybody except Marcia. Aunt Made­ leine»noticed that Marcia did nothing, often* sitting for bouni with her hands idly folded in her lap, and a far-away look in her brown eyes. And when she chanced suddenly to raise them on being spoken to, kind Aunt Maddy saw that their expression was exceedingly mourn­ ful. it worried the good old Ikdy, and one day she said to Marcia; “My dear, “Why, certainly, aunty! Why-shouldn't I be?" was the instant response, with a bright look. And Miss Madeleine comforted her self, aaying, “1 suppose it wns only my fancy. But I don't like to see that look in a young girl’s eyes? It either betokens sorrow or—an 'early death.” They did not hear from Vance at Dougins .Hall until he went to New Y’ork. He dare not write from New Haven, lest Louis I/c l)ru should chance to see the postmark. * mi tiecoine suspiclouN.

The constantly Increasing demand for pure water and for some method by means of which this can be obtain­ ed renders the recent communication niu4e by Professor Pnterno to the Reale Academia del Liacel especially interesting. Professor Patemo has suggested a process for the purification of drinking water which constitutes a great step forward in the study of this important problem. From numer­ ous and extensive experiments made by this author it appears that by adding to Impure water, even that containing pathogenic niierobes. an extremely small quantity of chloride of silver there is accomplished the complete dis­ infection of the water. For this pur­ pose two milligrams or at most two and one-half milligrams of the chloride are sufficient to absolutely sterilize a liter of water and to eliminate every danger of infection. The process is so simple that one cannot expect any Im­ provement upon It in the future; it may be used by anyone and in. every condition of life, the sterilization being complete after a few minutes—ten at the most—and no apparatus being necessary beyond a small vial with a solution of chloride of silver. The water keeps Its flavor and all of its properties without modification, only undergoing n slight whitening, which disappears after a few hours of repose. Water purified by means of boiling, ozone and all other process** known up to the present, when ex­ posed to the air soon become impure, whereas the-process of Professor Pa­ temo keeps the water pure for many months.—Trffiuna, Rome. freeHolid^ BUCKINGHAM’S DYE whioVor, GEN.

Various amendments were disimsed of as not in order, nnd finally Mr. Cooper in­ sisted .upon his point of order flint the naval station t»e ruled out of the bill. Mr. Bdrton then injected his motion io strike out the provision for one battleship, which brought forth n lively debate on ths size of the world’s navies by Mr. Grosvenor and others. When the Senate convened Thursday the agricultural appropriation bill was taken up again, aud after a number of minor amendments were made it waa passed. An amendment offered by Mr. Heyburn authorising the Secretary of Agriculture to prohibit Interstate ship­ ments of misnamed and misbranded fruit trees provoked a long discussion, in which Messrs. Heyburn, Clark of Wyom­ ing. Tillman. Lodge, Hale. Teller, Proc­ tor and Bailey talked at length on econ­ omy of government. The legislative, ex­ ecutive and judicial appropriation bill also was passed. Mr. Meyer of Ixitiisiana opened tbe debate on the naval appro­ priation bill in the House, leading n campitign by the minority to reduce the num­ ber of ships authorized. He wanted, the bill recommitted with instructions to eliminate two cruisers, but hi* amend­ ment was defeated, aa well as that offer­ ed by Mr Burton of Ohio to do away with the one battleship authorized. Mr. Bishop of Mighigan was the only other Republican to support Mr. Burton's amendment. The Senate Friday considered at some length the bill requiring the use of American ships in currying government supplies, but took no action, an a quorum by Democratic Senators as being in the nature of a subsidy, but Mr. Hole, in charge of the measure, defended it against this attack, and championed it as being in the interest of American shipping. The House passed the uaral appropriation bill after having it nu*ler consideration for a week. There was a party contest on a number of proposi­ tions while the body sat in committee of the whole considering the bill. The mi­ nority members made a special effort to armor plate at the figure bid by the Mid­ vale Steel Company.

I-OUN IN6CHIN hflWGAMI OF GULF of' PECKIU cJAPAN SEOUL' KUNS; IPO YELLOW ’ MOKf I5AN, QUELMin^,' * NA< KAG05HI /OBRI LI. of last week there was little news and less that was reliable coming from the scut of war In'the Far East. J Some of the reports dealing with alleged operations on la“(1 secnied to be the creations'of liimglnativo writer*. .£^3^while other* were so conflicting that Jt was difficult to ’ KyOrfiMP -Ji feMff what part to accept and wltat part to'reject. With considerable circumstantiality R wns reported ~^a Ilus*lan advance guards south of the' Yhlu ’River ' wcrc driven back, with the loss of 2,000 lives. There nave been some big battles fought In "which the’ids* of -life-was much less than this, nnd the association of advance.guards, which usually do Dot number over 1U0 men each with such a slaughter carried Its own refutation. While, of course, there may be minor clashes between Rtnudana nnd Japanese in Korea nt any time, it lias seemed probable that week* might elapse before there would be any serious land fighting. Russia, undoubtedly, is not ready for aggressiveness, and it will be her policy to delay r xtters ns long as possible so as to have lier m-lnf^reemMtk on the ground before the serious work of land campaigning Is begun. One report had it that orders had been issued to army and txavy officers to remain on the de­ fensive until June, when uaval invlnforcemeuts are expected to arrive lu the East from Europe. Apparently, the Japanese have been contenting themselves with effecting as thorough an organisation hr. Korea a*.possible.' They have been extend­ ing the railroad from Fusan northward wwnrtl the Yulu River, so as to be able to hurry their meu and supplies to the fron( when the serious campaign­ ing should begin. The Japanese minister-to England. Viscount Hayashi, says that Japan will tnke her time In opening the campaign. "The shallow inlets." lie says, ’are now frozen, retarding the disembarkation of our forces." Meantime Russia Is grappling with the difficulty of moving re-lnforcements across the Intervening space of nearly 6,000 miles which He between For: Arthur and Vladlvostock and St. Petersburg. One report, Russia Is its source, however, says that the Manchurian and Siberian road* are conveying troops without difficulty to the various points of concentration. And Prince Khlllkoff, the Minister of Railroad Communication, states that the Siberian Railroad is able to move 30,000 troops a day toward their destination, but that the transit from western points to the Far East.will require tlx weeks. These are widely different from still another report which says that the movement of troop* Is much slower than wa* expected, the anticipated average of 7.000 a day having fallen to 3,000. ’ Under Russia's new plans for the laud campaign General Kuropatkin, who resigned as Minister of War, assumes command of the entire military forces in the East. He has the reputation of being one of the e blest officers lu Europe, and in Russia he is almost worshiped by the soldiers. He has had wide military experiences in some of Russia's campaign* in Asia ana m the war against Turkey In 1877. A singular phase which one would hardly associate with Russia is the wonderful wave of patriotic enthusiasm which is sweeping over the country. Even tlie wild tribes of the Caucasus. Finns and Pole* are offering their ser­ vice* to the common fatberland,( while in Si. Petersburg forty-five Jewish physicians have offered to go to tlie front to care for the wounded. Rubles by the hundreds of thousands are being donated for Red Cross rel'ef work. During the week the rumor was again renewed that Russia was nego­ tiating for the passage of her Black Sea fleet through the Dardaner.es. Tnls fleet consists of several powerful battleships and a strong torpedo flotilla and should It be enabled to reach the East It might greatly alter the balance of naval power there. Late reports of the land movement by tlie Japanese show that troops landed at Posslet Bay. near Vladivostok, and advanced to HnngcLun. The Russian government at Vladivostok fled to temporary quarter* at Khabarooka, on the Amur River, 600 miles north. The Invader* marched on Kirin, to the west. Seventy miles of Trans-SiLerian railway between Vladivostok. and Harbin have been destroyed by the Japanese. These moves were believed to be preparatory to an attack on Vladivostok. Dalny was evacuated but the Russians boasted that they bad mined the city so the Japanese would not dare occupy it. The Korean government ordered Its soldiers to JolD the Jap­ anese army in the field. Practically nothing Is known of Japan's plan* on land or sea. An un­ confirmed report, which Is probably false, states that the Japanese captured four Russian torpedo boats at Fort Arthur by using the Russian signal*, it is believed that the objective point of the Japanese troop* which have been landed at Chemulpo Is Ping-Yang, a place of great strategic value, south of the mouth of the Yalu River. As it weems to be authentically stated that a Cossack force has taken possession of Anjn. to the north of Ping Youg. It has seemed as though the first serious land fighting would likely take place in that vicinity. Russian troop* have clashed twice with the enemy on the soil of. Korea. At Ping-Yang a body of Russian cavalry ap­ proached the north gate of th* Japanese camp and fired at a distance of 1,000 meter*. The Japanese infantry promptly responded and a sharp fusillade follow­ ed, as a result of which the Russians were forced to retire. In the second encounter the Russians were victorious. A dispatch from Leno­ Tong, a town on the Manchurian rail­ way some distance south of Mookden. says that Chinese of the Yalu river re­ port that nn advance guard of Russian cavalry which has penetrated Korea for a distance of about 200 verst* had nn en­ counter with a detachment of Japanese and that the Japanese were compelled to retreat, leaving their horse*, which were seised by the Cossacks. Gen. Llnevitch dispatched cavalry and a body of infantry in pursuit and with nn order to occupy northern Korea. On Hie HamGyeng frontier, northeast of Wiju. a de­ tachment of Korean soldier* was attack­ ed and dispersed by Russian troops. Russian officers believe they hare now accurate information of the Japanese plan of campaign in Manchuria and Korea. The Japs have large bodies of troops near Gensap. bn the eastern coast, and at Chemalpo. on the western coast of Korea. These troops are engaged in establishing a line of fortifications along the. banks of the Tai-Tong river and are making preparations for the reception of the army landed a few days ago at Chemulpo, (be intention of the Japanese being. In the Russian view, to run n scries of fortifications right across Koren from Gensan to Chinnampo. . These measures the Russiaus believe to have been concerted in order to de­ fend ,(he middle and southern part* of Korea from the RiiKsiaus slumld the Jaj>a near be unsuccessful on the Yalu and in Manchuria. ATTACK PORT ARTHUR ANEW. fendintf ! qnn Iron. The Japanese fleet Monday practically completed the annihilation of Russia's Port Arthur squadron. A tierce bom­ bardment. begun nt 10 o’clock In the tnnrniug, resulted in the sinking of the cruiser Askold and n torjicdoer. tbo crii»pliug of the Novik nnd the silencing of the Retrizai!. The J.-titanese withdrew in perfect order. The attack was in com­ pliance with the Mikado’* orders that Port Arthur must be taken at all costs. When the bombardment began the Russian cruises^ Novik, Bn;an and Askold, ncci'Uip.'ltiie*! by four torpedo boats, steamed out of the harbor to meet the attack. . After a fierce battle they were compelled to retire. The Askold wns in a sinking condition, the Novik greatly dnmnged. and one tor­ pedo bout sunk. Tht- Ruaslnn battleship Retvizau, which <hns been on the rocks since the first engagement of the war, was a special target for the Japanese fire, end was struck several time*. When the' Japanese saw that they had done all the damngo possible they with- their fleet •ufFercd no damage. After the bombardment a large force of Russian artillery "’0" sent to Pigeon bay. it be­ ing feared -flint the Japanese would at­ tempt to land troops there. Port Arthur was reported very abort of provisions. The soldiers manning the land batteries seemed demoralized by the repeated attacks of the Japanese squad­ ron. FLAMES RUIN A CAPITOL.

Th* House discussed th*District of Columbia appropriation bill.and the debate drifted into political mat­ ter*.

The hill for the regulation of Philippine shipping was the principal oubject of consideration. It brought a somewhat general discussion of the Philippine ques­ tion. and was amended so as to defer for a year the time when the bill shall uk» effect. Au amendment by Mt. Carmack pontpotiing the operation of the bill until 11M)G was laid on the table by a vote of 37 to 15. At Mr. Mallory’s suggestion the bill was m amended as to except supplies for the prmy and navy as to prevent conflict with the bill regulating the shipment of .go’ crnmrrt supplies .which was passed on Tuesday.

For almost four hour* Thursday theSenate, while technically engaged on th* navnl appropriation bill, discussed a wide range of subject*. including the policy of die United States in the Philippine* nnd the Ruxso-.Ispnnese war. The prin­ cipal participants were Messrs. Halo, Bacon. Lodge. Depew. Patterwm. Per­ kins nnd Money. Mr. Hale, in charge of tlie naval bill, criticised the plans of th* naval board as tending to no establish­ ment heyond the needs of the country. Mr. Lodge, Mr. Depew and Mr. Per­ kins defended the uaval .officer*. Mr. Loop* declared a large navj essential to the maintenance of peace. In the House was read a letter from Grover ('leveland to Representative Webb of North Carolina, denying that C. II. J.

Mr. Scott offered his apology to the former !*resident. saying he never before had heard' the rtatement denied. A discussion of the race question followed. The Housepassed the District of Columbia appro­ priation bill nnd took up the Indian ap­ propriation bill. Practically the entire thne of the Sen­ ate Friday was given to consideration' of the question of the selection of n slt*for n naval training station on the great lakes.

BROWN FOR GOOD ROADS. the A bill has been introduced in n House of Representatives by Walter -P. Brownell of Tennessee, proposing an appropriation of 924,000,000 to aid in the construction of good roads throughout the United States. The bill provldes that each slate receiving national aid from the government must add a like amount from its own treasury, raising the total to 648.000,000. Under this bill MlchlgMi would recolre .702,000 from Che United Slate, no.erament, and with a corresponding state appropriation would have 91,404,000 to distribute among the counties. Doubtless such appropriations would stimulate the improvement of country roads; but in Michigan the sum appropriated would do very little toward general improvement of the public highways. What is needed as much as anything else in this state is an en­ tire revision of the road laws, placing their construction and maintainance under direction of experts, and requirlt» roud tu U> be p.id In tub.

KANSAS CITY BROKERAGE CONCEJhhf INVESTIGATED. MIKADO* JKfr, carat I on Albert H. Brown, William Marvin, Joseph L. Ricker. Charles Ricker and Edward Moore were arrested in Kan­ sas City on complaint of Postofflce In­ spector McKee, who charges them with using the mails with Intent to defraud. The turn were arraigned and released on bonds. It Is asserted by the postofflce Inspector that the five men have been conducting a brokerage business in Kan­ sas City under the name of A. H. Brown A Co. since 1902. It is charged that the firm advertised in Kansas City, St Louis, Chicago and Indianapolis papers offering a stock of goods for sale for cosh or trade and, it is alleged, caught many victims. When a prospective pur­ chaser camo to inspect the stock he was told that a wayward nephew whom a fond uncle had set up in a general mer­ chandise business had failed and that the uncle waa not in a position to conduct the business and would sell It at a sac­ rifice. Marvin acted the aged uncle and one of the other partners played the nephew. The purchaser was shown an excellent stock of goods worth nlxrnt $12,000, but after buying it the sellers would send him almost worthless mer­ chandise. EXPOSE CRUELTY OF PEONAGE. Shep Griffin, a negro, has been taken from persons in Kemper County, Miss., to jail in Meridian as a witness before the Federal grand jury, before which it is said he will tell a story of terrible cruelty practiced by those who have held hi;a In peonage. White citizens brought the case to the attention of the marshal, asserting that the negro had been strip­ ped and whipped until gashes were made in his flesh so deep that his clothes stuck to his Imdy for several days. The qegro owed $1, which be offered to payt but his bondsmen refused to accept it, saying it was his work they wanted. BALK SACRIFICE BY FANATICS. HE fogs of doubt and uncertainty hnng aa heavily last week over the seat of war In the far East an at any time since the beginning of hostilities. No official news of land movements was permitted by either Russia or Japan to leak out, while the operations on *ea by the Japanese, with the exception of an occasional attack on Port Arthur, were carefully screened. As a result the war correspondents in the East are forced to send out uncertain rnmora, without haring the time or op­ portunity of investigating them, and thus much that is unreliable is finding it* way into the history of the present struggle. Were all the reports of Japanese successes true, Russia would scarcely have a boat afloat lh the East, outside the Vladivostok fleet and that too, according to early report*, was blown up in the Tsugarl straits. Some of the Russian vessels at Port Arthur must have been destroyed several times. Whatever mny be the truth of these reports, it seems conclusively estab­ lished that the Japanese failed to block the harbor nt Port Arthur, else the Russian cruisers could not more so freely from the Inner basin td the road­ stead. Relative to the Immunity of the Japanese vessels under Russian fire at Port Arthur, the reports do not by‘any means agree. Two separate report* came from Chefoo that two Japanese warships, after the bombardment of last week Thursday, were towed In a disabled condition to Susel>e for re­ pairs. and a paper published at Tlen-Tsin states that the battleship Yasblmn and the cruisers Anama and Tokiwa were damaged and that two torpedo boats were destroyed. According to a Chefoo dispatch the Russians discov­ ered a sunken Jannnese torpedo boat in the outer harbor. Liner the Jap­ anese bombarded Port Arthur again and the cruiser Askold had a gun dis­ mounted and two meu Injured. The Russians deny the loss of a torpedo boat in Pigeon bay. They state that a Jananese shot pierced the hull of a torpedo boat but that the leak was stopped aud the vessel returned to Port Arthur under her own steam. Meantime, according to reports, which neither country confirms, the Japanese have extended their sea operations to the north and are said to be blockading the Russian naval base of Vladlvostock. No reports confirming the landing of the Japanese In force at Poasiet bay. seventy-five miles south of Vladlvostock, have been received.

At the station were kind, sympathising friends awaiting to receive and convey the body to Ils last resting place in Lakeview cemetery. The burial services were conducted at Lite grave by Rev. F. E. Armstrong In a solemn and im­ pressive manner and it seemed doubly sad when wo thought bow she passed out of life and why, because us she said to friends “Seventy-six yean old and. no home, no home, no place in the wide world I can lay my bead and call my own. No children to give me welcome." But she has been given Christian burial. The nieces and friends in Charlotte, the friends In Dakota and Hasting* friends and friends in Nash­ ville and vicinity could not think of her being laid in the Pottersfield, contributed enough money to bury and get a marker which will be put in ploceas soon as the ground is settled. Kind friends, all that nave contributed money or helped in any way, yon have stood where her children should have and did what they should have done for their mother, who was driven to take her own life for want ot a home.

The first horse, Marius, was in several ways unsatisfactory, and the firm of Crouch A Son, of Lafayette, Ind., invited the company to return him at their expense, and to take in his stead their pick of the stable*. A com­ mittee was appointed by the company to.go to Lafayette and pick out an­ other horse, and that they have done lheir work well is attested by all who have seen the.horse which they picked out to bring back with them. Aipenprlnz is three years old, a dark nay, stands 16.2 hands high, weighs about 1400 pounds, and is one of the most perfect horses that has ever been seen in this part of the state. He was bred by Ernest Bruns in Germany, was sired by loubert, one of the famous show horses of Germany, and a celebrated producer of fine animals, and was foaled on April 14th, TOOL The original German pedigree of Alpenprinz is in' the possession of the company, and may be seen upon ap­ plication to the secretary. The cer­ tificate of registration in the German, Hanoverian and Oldenburg Coach Horse Association of America has been framed and is on exhibition in the postofflee. The company is to be congratulated upon securing so splen­ did a horse, and the horse-raisers of this vicinity will all be interested in this splendid animal. He was shown on the streets last Saturday and at­ tracted much attention and most favor­ able comment. THE NEW COUNCIL.

The new common council convened for the first time last Monday night, and after getting organized commenced showing their mettle right from the start. The bonds of the new clerk and treasurer were approved. On motion of Aldetman Greene of the south side, the saloon bonds, which have been at S3,000 for a num­ ber of years, were raised to S6,000, which is the limit. Only one alder­ man, Gribbin, voted against the elevation. Whether this action will shut out all but one saloon is a question. Scheldt will undoubtedly be able to meet the new bond. The other people will likely have some trouble In securing bondsmen who can qualify In the required amount.

The forts did not reply, either because It waa preferred nut to reveal the loca­ tion of the guns to the enemy, or, ns a admiral toco, later report has It, because they lacked ammunition, most -of it having been sent to Port Arthur.

They looked worn nnd sad. Van Dine turned and smiled nt his mother while the jurymen were tiling iu. Mrs. Marx was at homo in a state of prostration. When the jurors appeared they were pale and disheveled. Tho verdict was rend. Then the formal question was asked of each: “Was this and is this your verdict?" An affirmative reply was giv­ en by each of the twelve. Mrs. Niedemeyer stood In the center of the court room for over an hour after the verdict came. She seemed to be in a daze. Standing near the chair where her sou had sat. she held her hands over her face aud said to attorneys nnd friends: "Let me alone."

With the exception of the Luetgert trials, the case has been the longest drawn out and most expensive ever tried in the Chicago criminal court. The work of securing a jury commenced on Jan. 6.

Chicago Seriously Affected by Its Bad Reputation. Many of tho business men of Chicago are becoming alarmed because of the ef­ fect which the city's reputation for crime ia having upon its growth. The increase In population has been checked and.,, while there is still a gradual enlargement of the figures representing tho popula­ tion, the people feel that it should be larger nnd that what keeps it down are the reports constantly sent out from there, and for which there is ample basis, that crime is rampant nnd the police do not control it. The Citizens' Alliance has taken tha matter in hand and will try to remedy the evil. “By virtue of its geographical and commercial location Chicago should be grnvflng more rapidly thau it is.” declar­ ed Jami's W. Nye, tho new president of the alliance. “Tho wealthy men from nil the centra! States should naturally gravitate to this city as to a center. They should come here to live' when they have made their fortunes, and should add to the revenues of the muni­ cipality. We should receive a great sutumer pilgrimage from tho Southern cities. Our summer climate is unrivaled. But the people from tho wanner sections of tho land, scared away by the reports circulated of Chicago, pass us by and hnsteu to the Northern resorts. “No city in the world has better and cheaper fuel. Our transportation facili­ ties excel those of any other place on the globe. Why. we ask. has Chicago's growth slackened in the Inst few years? “Labor and capital have been fight­ ing almost constantly. There Ims been too much of strikes, lockouts, boycotts, of Intimidation, and street rioting. Mauufacturers fear to come hero lest they become involved in the struggle, nnd many already in the city talk of moving away. The city ordinances are not en­ forced and the sky is overcast with smoke and the streets go uncieaned. Remedy these evils aud Chicago will nt once take its place in the leadership of American cltlea." BOOM FOR CANNON. On Floor of the House His Name Is Mentioned for President.

A successful business man has pre­ pared the following receipt for young men and it is certainly a- good thing for them to remember: Do snore than is expected of you. Do things better than, other people do then. Do your work as if it was a pleas­ ure to do it. Do exactly as you agree to do. Do some little kindness every day. Don’t drink. Don’t swear. Don’t tell a lie. Don’t run into debt. Don’t shirk your task. Don’t be late at your work. Don’t think vou know it ail. Don’t wait till you are old to marry. Don’t go into politics if you are a young man. Dalhauser on the dog: “My dog, you have a' schnap. You vas only a’ dog und I vas a man but I vish I vas you. Ven you go mil der bed In you ahust durn round tree times und lay down. Ven I go mil der bed In I haf to lock up de place aud vlnd der clock und put der cat out und undress my­ self und my vife vakes up und scolds me. den de’baby cries und I haf to vawk him up und down; den mavhe ven I shust goes to schleep it is time for me to get up again. Ven you get up you scratch yourself und stretch a couple of times, und you vas up; I haf to light-me der fire und put on de kettle, scrap sotrie mlt. mv vlfe alreatly, und mabc got some break­ fast. You blay round all day und haf blenty- of fun; I half to vork all day und haf lots of drouble. Ven you die you's ded. Ven I die I haf to go to Hades yet.’’ __________ The war correspondents who are re­ porting the progress of the'Russo-Jap­ anese struggle appear u> be a prize, bunch of liars. One report will indi-1 cate the blowing up or sinking of near­ ly an entire Russian fleet, while the report next day will say that not a vessel wtis seriously injured. Today we will read that the Russians repulsed the attack of the Japanese squadron, sinking four Jap. battleships. To­ morrow’s paper says the “battleships” were old worthless hulks, loaded with stone, and the Russians were purpose­ ly permitted to sink them where they would blockade the entrance to "the harbor and "bottle up” the Russian fleet a la Hobson. The reader who can intelligently nnd honestly learn tbe progress and result of the war under such circumstances is a dandy. Some years ago a Philadelphia preacher Inaugurated in his Sunday school the practice of having the chil­ dren quote some Scripture text as they dropped their pennies into the conlributioo box Ou the first Sun­ day in question a little shaver walxcd up aud said, "The Lord lovelh u cheerful giver,” and in dropped bis penny. “Charity shall cover u mul­ titude of sins. ” and in dropped the next. “It is more blessed to give than to receive,” quoted third, and so on.

"Why, bless my soul!” he cried. “I never thought of such a thing ns that.” “I have thought of It. these many loug months,” said Vance, calmly. "But—but, boy, we all supposed you were courting Florence.” “Florence never has been, never thought of being, more than a gojid. kind sister to me." said Vance, not doubting what he said. "She had helped me in this affair, knowing all about my love lor Marcia. I took that long journey be •cause I could not give my cousin up to another. May I have her. uncle?” “You'll have to say yes.

He waa almost struck ■dumb with amazement, but he was heart­ ily rejoiced at the change, for his hatred of Le Dru was deep ami sincere. Marcia judged rightly—honest Dick waa glad of the opportunity to serve them, and if ever a horse was made to .fly over "hank, bush and scaur,” it was Dirk Leslie’s horse that wedding night. -on hi* way to change the license.

Mr. Manning began the, impressive ceremony. Mr. Manning had been instructed previously, and held the new license in his hand, so he pro­ ceeded without hesitation. The service waa soon over. In the brief instant liefore congratulations could begin, Squire Douglas rose and said: "My friends and neighbors, before you offer your good wishes, allow me to say that circumstances soon to lie explained have led, as you see. to a change in one of the leading actors in the scene you have just witnessed. By the change, my daughter nnd my gon—” the Squire’s voice trembled at these words—“have consummated an attachment as old ns their lives. Let us uow wish them the happy future they so well merit." The family first, nnd then tbe friends came up, nnd each one was introduced to the strange Indy ns a "second daughter of his house tfnd sister to his children, as well as the wife of Louis Ix> Dru.” “This circumstance,” he would say, “quite explains Vance’s right to the place he took, which would have been his Ling ago but for a misunderstanding between him nud Marrta.

"Do I understand you to *ny that Myra is not here? That is strange. I thought she came nver an hour or two before I did," said Dick. He then sought for Florence. He made out to sure Myra was not there. “Certainly not,” answered Florence. “We waited as long as we could for her.” “Well, it’s queer.” said Dick. “Shy wns dressed to come long liefore I left home. Father and mother were coming, but father Is kept iu the house with a cold, nnd mother would uot come without him. The carriage was ready for Myra before dark, or I would have come with her. I came ou my horse later." “I suppose shl* changed her mind nnd stayed at home." Dick went off satisfied. But Florence, knowing nil she did, felt very uneasy.

It won't take you long.’-' "Certainly I will, Florry. 1 fAd a lit­ tle uneasy myself. 1 will be back in half an hour, and probably bring her with me.” Aft*r supper the light cloud •which seemed to hang over the company had quite vanished. Even Nettie, though wearied with travel and sorrow, findlug herself taken at once to the homes nnd hearts of so many kind friends, was able to wear a semblance of pleasure. And when she thought of Willie, sleeping soundly upstair*, aud knew that now his name aud rights were fully established, her anxious heart did swell with grateful j«y-_ ________ * CHAPTER XXVI. An hour had passed since supper, and Dick bad not returned. Florence grew seriously alartned. She looked at her watch, end saw that it wanted only ten minutes to eleven. Why did he not come? She was just about to speak to Vance of her fears, when the front door was thrown open, and Dick, still in his evening suit, but pate, mud splashed and disordered, came rapidly in. Florence flew to him. "Oh. Dirk! what is the matter? Where is Myra?" "Heaven only knowa!" groaned Dick. “I went home and found she had sent the carriage hack to the stable, saying she had concluded not to come over here. she was uot even in the house. I came back to «ee if anybody here knew any­ thing about her.” “Anything of who? Who ia missing? What has happened. Dick?-’ asked Squire Douglas, coming forward. “My sister Myra is missing, Squire. We don’t know what has happened yet.” said Dick rand in a few words told all hr knew, asking if any one there could tell aud uttered an exclamation an he passed it to Dick, who took it with shaking fin­ gers. Poor Dick tried to read it—then threw it back. "My brain whirls, I cannot see! Read it, Vanee, read it out 7’ Every soul stood breathless, while Vnnce read the note aloud. It ruu thus: "Farewell, Louis, my beloved! You won my heart, only to break it!

Farewell, mother, brother, sister, friends. The neatli them. I have sung my death song, and I go to join tbe poor Indian girl who died, liko poor Myra, for a false lover. Farewell, fore+er!” "She ha* jumped the falls!" groaned Squire Douglas, while moans and sobs resounded through the room. IHck staggered nud fell to the floor like a log. Vance rushed tn raise him. while Marcia and Florence, almost In hysterics, flew to Nettie, who hud fainted Upon the sofa. No one slept at the Hall or at River View that ill-stnrmi night. Most of the wedding guest* nt once departed. A band wns formed to senrch the river for poor Myra, and another to carry the news should any discovery be made. Before noon the next day they bore her pretty. lifeless body, still deckel In its gala rolies, into her sorrow-stricken home. Poor, innocent, unfortunate Myra! Not alone did they.liegr her. No ven­ geance was left for father or brother to take. Retribution, swift nnd stern, had descended upon the evil-doer. With the train which carried poor Myra's light form came another, leading a lame and riderless horse, nnd bearing tbe cold, drowned body of Ixuiis Le Dru. The party searching for Myra had fonnd the horse which he had riddeu from the Hull. lame, drenched and bruised, upon the river bank, not far from the fulls. Guided by that discovery, they searched again, nnd found under the bridge the drowned body of Ixiuis, only a few yards from the spot where poor Myra was drawn out. Her destroyer had died with her. . Whether he did the deed purposely or not could never be known.. It wns most likely that, after leaving the Hall in such deep disgrace, galloping madly to­ ward Frankfort, he had, in the intense darkness, miased the bridge, and dashed directly into the stream to meet hi* aw­ ful fate.

New Yorkers who patronize the subway will enjoy the novelty of riding in all-metal cars. It was officially . announced by - the luterborough Rapid Transit Company that the company had placed with the American Car Foundry Company an order for 300 pressed steel cars, all the furnishings of which are to lie of metal. "If they don’t give Mitisfactlon the peonle will soon discover It.” said one of the company’s officials. "If they are a disappointment they will iraon go to the scAp heap, "they have been ordered in the belief that they will add to the safety of traveling in the tunnel.” There are many difficulties to tie overcome In an all-steel car. and the experts of the Interborough company express confidence that many of the most important have been conquered, so. that they are warranted in predict­ ing that the all-steel cars are likely to be the future vehicles used In railway travel, lioth on the surface and under ground. The necessity of adopting a car which will lie absolutely fireproof, so as to make impossible such a disaster as occurred in the Taris subway, Is of paramount importance.

Every­ thing in nature has its keynote, as it were, and attuned to one particular musical sound. This' fact can be very easily verified in everyday life. Stand near an open piano and wpeuk in an ordinary tone: while speaking you will suddenly hear a string within reverber­ ate to your voice. The tick of a watch, the sound of every human voice, the l*rk of a dog, tbe mew of a cat, the noise of a wagon, the roll of thunder, tbe fall of rain, the running of water; in fact. everything about us can easily lie placed by an attentive ear on Its projier musical note—one of the sounds of the scale. This Is a most interest­ ing experiment, and easily verified. It is said that the ear ran distin­ guish eleven octaves of sound,- but as a ‘rule those made by quick, short vi­ brations ure more easily conveyed. For instance, tbe whirr of a Iwiret makes more distinct impression than the sighing of the wind through the trees. A whirlwind in its approach is noiseless: it is only when it strikes some obstacle that the volume of sound becomes terrific to us.

Tracks Washed Away, Bridges and Dams Gone Out—The Property Loss Is Enormous. The most disastrous flood whicn has over deluged southern Michigan has raged since last Thursday night. The streams were already bank full of water from the melting snow and loe, when the whole lower peninsula was visited with the most terrific rain AT LOWEST RATES. 4 < FLOODED 1 CH. BROWN Central Drag Store. by a high wind which in many places amounted almost to a cyclone, in Grand Rapids blowing down a church and other buildings. The ground was In no condition .to receive and take care of the Immense rainfall, which rushed into the w aterecourses with in­ credible swiftness, and nearly every stream in the lower part of the state has been making new records for high water ever since. Traffic by highway and railroad has been almost entirely suspended, bridges and flams have gone out by the wholesale, country and town have been flooded to an un­ precedented degree, in several places loss of life has resulted, and the loss in a financial and business way will be stupendous. Locally, affairs have reached the limit, and more. The water in Thorn­ apple river passed all records, and Quaker brook was there with tbe goods. Although Nashville is not m as hard luck as many of the towns about the state, we feel that we have had our share. The trouble commedced early Thursday night. The midnight train east found tbe track flooded and un­ safe cast of the river bridge between this place and Vermontville, anu had to back up here and tie up. A big gang of workman who bad been quar­ tered bere while laying new steel west once on the break, but in spite of all efforts of work trains, section men, etc., tbe train could not get away un­ til Sunday noon although their pasengers were transferred by band-car Friday afternoon and so got away. This washout, while a serious one, was the lightest of several which this division of the Central had to take care of. Just east of Quimby there was a bad break, between Hastings and Irvine there was another, still worse, between Irving and Middleville was another which was repaired in in time to let a train from the east get into Middleville Wednesday night the first they had had since Thursday night of last week. West of Middle­ ville, where the railroad crosses the Thornapple for tbe last time, was the worst washout of all, and one which is not yet repaired, and it is doubtful if it will be in lime to let a train over today. One freight train came down from Jackson Wednesday night, the first that has been started out from either end of the division since last week Tuesday, but passenger and mall trains are now running with some degree of regularity between Jackson and Hastings. The first train into Nashville reached us about seven o'clock Mto­ day night, bringing one or two passen­ gers, a little mall, and a few daily papers., which went like hot cakes at five and ten cents each. A large number of people gathered at the station to "see the cars come in,” and its arrival was greeted with cheers. Tuesday Postmaster Feighner drove to Woodbury in an alterant to gather up some of our delayed mail, but only succeeded in getting a small amount, tbe bulk of it having been sent on to Hastings, and arriving by train Tuesday night. There were about two bushels of letters, which were all worked that night, taking until after nine o’clock, and twenty big pouches of newspapers and circu­ lar mail, which kept the postoffice force hustling for about three hours more to get out of tbe way and ready for the public and the rural carriers tbe next morning. Tbe carriers had more mail Wednesday morning than they could stow away in their wagons, and some of it had to be left until the next day. On Tuesday there were two trains in, the later one going through to Hastings, where it arrived about 6:30, returning later. Mail and ex­ press are now moving with some de­ gree of regularity, but thofreight oonKstion along the line is getting to something unprecedented. The Lente Table Co. luckily had their shipping room pretty well emptied out the day befort the tie-up came, and while they hava^’two. cars now on the track loaded to go and their shipping room nearly filled, they will be able to run until Saturday or Monday, by which time they will probably be able to get some freight out. Downing, Bullis A Co.’have about a car load of maple sugar awaiting shipment, aud more piling up every day. Our grocers are standing the tie-up in good shape, and by helping each other out will probably be able to get along and fill orders, although some of the necessaries are running pretty low. “ The terrific rainfall of Thursday night proved to much for the Sclppio dam, which went out about three o’clock Friday morning, pouring its flood of water into the already swollen Tbornapple, which early on Friday surpassed all previous records above Friday evening, when serious trouble threatened. The big field of lee in tbe pond commenced to move down, but its movement was fortunately too much to the north to strike the bridge, but it plied tbe ice up on the north bank of the river, just east of tbe bridge to a height of ten or twelve feel, and presented an imposing spec­ tacle. Dynamite was used during the night and the nut day to keep a good channel open, and the danger from ice soon passed. The water below the dam reached its highest point on Saturday morning, when it reached a point about five inches higher than any previous mark. The water, both above and below the dam, held -up strongly, showing but little diminu­ tion until Monday, at which time a portion of the Barber dam went out, lowering tbe waler above the dam rapidly and raising it below for a short time, but it has now practically subsided. Thursday night tbe Hager­ man dam on Quaker brook also went out, and the brook proceeded to show that it was a worthy tributary to the Tbornapple by breaking its own record. It gathered up telephone pole, ties, lumber, etc., from the rail­ read yards, where they had been piled supposedly above high water mark, and smashed them down against the new steel arch bridge, on South Main street. They were soon form­ ipg a jam, which was broken up as speedily as possible and the debris removed, but the eddy thus formed had started a cutting process below the foundations of the bridge and this continued until it had cut out sufficient soil below the foundations to let the east side of tbe bridge settle several feet. It was thought for a time that the bridge would ail go out, but strenuous work by a force of men and teams succeeded in holding It. The bridge will have to be taken out and new foundations laid, but it is in such shape that it can oe used until low water, when it will be less work to get at iL Some time during Friday night the large water main which crosses the river from the pumping station broke at an unknown point in the river leav­ ing the entire village without fire pro­ tection or city water. A gate has been put tn between the pumping station and tbe river, so that the hydrant at the pump house can be used, and one fire line could thus be utilized as far as one line of hose could reach from that hydrant, probably about to . tbe postoffice. New pipe has been ordered and a temporary main will be laid across tbe bridge as soon as possible, for use until the main can be repaired. In the meantime it behooves every­ body to use every possible precaution against fire, and in case of an alarm every good citizen will grab a pall and start for the scene of the Are, for it will have to be fought by primitive methods. A number of tbe bridges along Quaker brook are out, but none of them are pretentious structures, and it will be a comparatively small iob to fix them up again. Mr. Crocker was in town Wednesday and said he will fix up the Scipio dam right away. The Barber dam will also be rebuilt as soon as the fall of the water makes it possible. Tbe dam at Barryville and(ttid one at Morgan are both out but will be fixed up again in a few days, as will the Hagerman dam. The bridge at Gregg’s was for a time in danger, but a force of men kept it from going out. The flood left It in bad shape, however, and it will have to have some repairs before it will be in shape for trafic. HIGH WATER MARKS. The water has been from two to three feet deep over the highway east of the stave mill during the flood, but Is now in sight again. The dip net brigade was all at sea Friday morning. About a dozen out­ fits were swept away by the high water Thursday night and lodged on fences on the flats west of town, where some of them still remain. . While going home from town Satur­ day, Antnony Golden noticed a pick­ erel in the water on the highway near the stave mill. It seemed to be slug­ gish as though from cold, and he jumped from his buggy and picked it out of the water before it had a chance to move. The fish weighed about five pounds. A young lady living on the south side had a thrilling experience last Saturday while crossing the cinder path on South Main street. When water to her neck and might not have gotten out had it not been for assist* A number of houses were surrounded by the water when the flood was at its worst, but no serious damage resulted. The immense area of low land below Nashville gives the water such a chanoe to spread out that it Is next to impossible for any flood to give us a chance to swim out. We are not so well off as some of the hill towns, but we get along very well. Ex-Governor John T. Rich was one of the victims who were caught here by the flood last Thursday night. He had been at Kalamazoo with one of his colleagues on the locating board of Lie state fair, and as they had con­ cluded their business at that place they went down to take a Michigan Central main line train for home. Alter the train got a few miles out the conductor came through and they were informed that instead of being on a Central train beaded for Detroit they were aboard a G. R. & I. train beaded for Grand Rapids. They made the best of it, and upon their arrival at Grand Rapids they took the Michigan Central train coming A gang of men and teams was hastily this way and got into a sleeper, ex­ rk, and bank * *-------- pecting to wake up the next morning enough in Detroit. About seven o’clock in south of the the morning they rolled out and look­ ing out of the window they saw what they supposed to be the Detroit river, but upon inquiring of tbe porter they abutments, except for ascertained that they were at Naah- villo and that the immense body of water upon which they were, gazing was Quaker brook, ordiparlly an in­ offensive little trout stream. They were transferred with the other passen­ gers about noon and finally, we suppose, reached* their destination. By-the-way, Kalamazoo county is sot one of the local option counties of tbe state. ■ . So eager for news from the rest of the world was our people the first of the week that any kind of a news­ paper was worth its weight in gold. A certain man bere had a dally which he had saved up from last week Wednesday. He said he was keeping it until he was sure he could get another. He had read it and re-read it, had loaned it to his neighbors until It was nearly worn out. R. A. Brooks was at Grand Rapids Monday and wauling to bring home.a daily, paper, hailed tbe newsboy and ten­ dered tbe urchin a penny for it. The boy took the copper, looked up at Allie with disgust smeared all over his “phiz” and remarked, “Say, Mister, do you think-I’m in business for my health?” He squared it with the boy, however, and when be ex­ hibited it on the streets here that night it drew a larger crowd than a patent medicine fakir. The big power house at LaBarge was partially submerged by water early in the game and Middleville, Hastings, Lake Odessa and Naihyllle were without lights. Sunday tbe water became so high that it commenced cut­ ting tbe north end of the dam, and so quickly that nothing could be done to prevent the disaster, tho dam was wrecked, big floes of ice assisting in Its destruction. About two-thirds of the structure, which was built two ago at a great expense, is a total loss. Il was thought to be of sufficient strength to stand any strain which it would ever be subjected to, but this flood was too much for it, as it was for others throughout the state. The dam will be rebuilt as quickly as pos­ sible. Mr. S. D. Kopf, manager of the compady, went immediately to Chi­ cago and purchased a mammoth engtilv, boiler, dynamo, etc;, which will be installed in the company’s building at Hastings and tbe lights will be on again at the earliest possi­ ble moment. This plant will then be kept in reserve, so that no such accident as this can ever put the company out of business again.

Tbe Council of Nice, in the year 351 A. D.. decided that Easter day should be tbe first. Sunday after tbe first full moon following the vernal equinox; and if the full moon fell on Sunday, then Easter Sunday was to be tbe Holi­ day after.

It is asserted by stu­ dents of such matters that the left hind foot of a graveyard rabbit killed in the dark of the moon represents the last quarter of the moon, and on that account is lucky. A legend accounting for the rabbit ia tho moon is of Hindu origin, and was introduced into China with' Buddhism. Buddha, according to this narrative, was a hare at one stage of his existence, and lived in friendship with a fox and an ape.

But the hare wn* not able to capture anything suit­ able for the table, and. sooner than be inhospitable, he threw himself into the fire in order to become food for the guest.

The property is at present occupied by Mr. and Mrs. Hiram Waliatb, who have not yet secured a location. A great many of the friends of Frank Brattln have wondered and commented upon his name appearing upon the prohibition ticket. We are informed by Mr. Braltin that it was done without his knowledge oy con­ sent. When he saw by THE News of week before last that his name was on the ticket for supervisor, he called up Mr. Mead a ad Mr. Early and notified them that be would not allow his name to run on a prohibition ticket, as he was a republican and bad been for seven years, hud voted and worked in the republican ranks, and did not wish to be identified with any other party. In spite of his expressed wishes bis name appeared upon the ticket, and he was greatly displeased that his desires were not complied with.

Shortly after Mr. Leffler purchased this farm be made a contract with Dr. Carpenter for the right of locating and digging for the buried treasure according to the letters or documents which the latter had. The exact location was found to be near the cellar wall. Considerable digging has been done In the cellar and about the walls.

O'Neil refused to open upon their demand and they blew the door off the car with dynamite. O’Neil was not hurt, but as soon as the men got in tbe car they deliberately shot him through the head. The train efrew then was com­ pelled to march back to the express car. O’Neil’s helper was threatened with death unless he opened the safe, but he persuaded the robbers that he did not know the combination. They then plac­ ed dynamite on the safe and after light­ ing the fuse ran away with their prison­ ers. The car was completely wrecked by the force of the explosion. After over hauling the contents of the safe the men compelled the engineer to proceed to Keswick, five miles away, near where they dropped off the engine. REGICIDE QUESTION ENDS.

Roberta of Chicago returned to their home early die other morning from a visit with friends at Pullman, they found their domicile In flames. Tbe house, it is said, had been set on fire by burglars sfter they had taken everything of value iu it. Neigh­ bors assert that about midnight they saw lights burning brightly in all parts of the house and forms moving al>out be­ hind the drawn shades. About 1:30 o’clock in the morning all of the lights were extinguished. A few minutes later flames burst from windows iu the rear of the house and iu a short time the entire house was in flames. An alarm was turn­ ed in. but before the arrival of the en gincs. die flames had spread to the house of John Powell, next door. By that time the Roberts house had been de-, stroked. The Powell home was saved after the fire had wrecked the seeoud floor. Searching the ruins after the fire bud been extinguished, the firemen as­ sert they found that everything of value hud been taken from die house. Traces of cloth saturated iu kerosene were found in corners of the room in which-the fir* originated and fire inspectors who are now working on the case say it ia evident to them that the fire was the work of burglar*.

Federal Trust Co. of Cleveland Assign*— Boston Institution Closes It* Doors. Uneasiness caused by the strange dis­ appearance of George F. Clewcll. it* sec­ retary and treasurer, and rumors that he had emttcxzkx! a large amount, forced the assignment of tbe Federal Trust Company in Cleveland. News nf the failure caused n panic among the de­ positor* of the Pearl Street Savings and Loan Company, aud n run was begun on that bank. The prominent institutions downtown, however, rushed coin and cur­ rency to the assistance of the bank, and when the clamoring crowd of depositors were admitted they found Hie counters piled high with silver dollars and smaller coin*. The sight ot the great piles o*' wealth wa* magical, and the crowd melt­ ed away. . The Federal Trust Company assigned to the Guardian Trust Company. The action is said to have been taken a* a result of the disappearance of Clewell and reports that a shortage had been found in the fund* of the concern. The company’s total assets will be about $3,000,000. It has a capital stock of $1,500,000. n surplus fund of $50,000 and about $140,000 undivided profits. Ac­ cording to Its last report it had $2,188,­ 362 in loan* and discounts, $45,300 in real estate loans, and owned $729,000 stocks, bond* and mortgage*. An agreement practically wa* reach­ ed between th* directors of the Federal Tinst Company and the Guardian Trost* Company several day* ago, providing for the menring of the two concvru*. The disappearance of Clewell, however, pre­ cipitated matter*, and the directors de­ cided that an assignment probably would avoid n ruu on the bank and protect all interests. ■ Unable to provide for the unusual de­ mands of it* depositors, the Union Trust Company of Boston closed its doors. The liabilities of the company are placed nt $1,600,000. with nominal assets of about tb<- same amount. For some time past depositors have been making heavy with­ drawals. and the management of the Umk was unable to realise on securities quickly enough to meet these demand*.

This is true uf everything the farmer raises to sell—hogs, cat tie. wool. etc. On the Pacific coast the Htnry is the same.

Including fruits which outsell the tropical frulQi nnd which can be sent across the country nnd shipped to Hu rope at n profit. They are doing splendidly. In the South the farmer who raises even a small crop of cotton has provided for himself. Tobacco was never iu greater Eit-niand.

Among working women, the woman has great freedom, for she U able to earn her own living. A, Japanese girl of even wealthy parents does not get n dowry, and tvhen'sbe is divorced Is not protected by scale­ meats. She has her chance only In families where-there are no sons.

By John X. now/sntf. 1 The mysteries of radium are unfolding'apace. Si From the -ilfst it was-plain that the new metal Pl emitted light In the dark and would Influence n rJ photographic plate through considerable thlcljFt ureses of different substances. Then It became S' evident that radium had a destructive effect ou JL . Jrlng tissue, which allowed It to be used wjtii success in-tbe treatment of cancer and n*.ade it dange.-oux for experimenters to carry a salt of It iu their puckcts. Later-it was ffliuounceJ that radium caused Lhe atmosphere to become L conductor of electricity and that it emitted continuously sufSgj quantity of beat a* to raise the envelope containing It to a temperature of oamfe two.degrees above that of other things In its neighborhood. Only Inst month It was shown that radium held near closed eye* will cause their possessor to have a sense of light from the fluorescence that it excites in tbe substance of tbe eye Itself. Rut of all tlie properties of this marvelous metal none Is likely to have more wide reaching conse­ quences than the discovery that In addition to the three different sorts of rays which It omits, radium, when heated, will give off a gas which is also .ray producing, and when sealed up in a tube and left nlonc for two uajfa, presents ail tbe .characteristics of the rare gas "helium.” which is ktiowu to be present Iu the sun. In a few minerals, and Id certain natural waters. , This takes us back to some pretty old history. The alchemists al way* declared that it was possible to trans­ mute or change one -metal Into another. Tbeir centra! idea was that tbe constituents of all known substances were la fact but different modifications ot one primordial sub­ stance. Now, the chemical elements, which are every year increasing in number, are seen on examination to l»e a scries of groups or families, of which lhe different mem­ bers have a strong family likeness. The rare metals, polo­ nium. actinium, and thorium are extremely radio-active; while to come dowp to more every day substances, barium nnd bismuth present the most extraordinary likeness to uranium and polonium. As for lead, there Is a particular sulphide of It extracted from several complex minerals like pitchblende (the source o' radium}, clereito/mica, and the like, which is nearly as radio-active as radium Itself. Dr. Gustave !e Bon asserted a year ago that all metals, when clean-and pure, were radio-active, and that the ramo qual­ ity Js shared by all gases and many other substances, such as those which compose the human body. As many physi­ cists are coming to this conclusion there is fair reason Id guess that if the secret of their combination were once learned the composition of metals would be a mere matteof calculation.

The work! knows about as little of 'what has been done or is going on in The Russo-Japanese war has been in progress for two mouths. So far as can be gathered from the meager dispatches the operations of the war have been limited lo the naval attacks on Port Arthur and Vladivostok. On land there has been no engagement more sqrious, than picket skirmish. There have been no recoDnoiasancea in force, no maneuv­ ers of the opposing armies: there has been no unmasking on either side. In land, the generals on both sides giving nil their attention to the mobilisation of forces. . Arthur Russia has met with considera­ ble loss, but the naval operations have had little intluence in shaping the course of the campaign on laud Undoubtedly Russia hue been put at a disadvantage by the crippling of ber fleet, but this has Dot prevented tlie massing of troops on strategic lines, and it is now reported that tlie mobilization of tbe Manchurian nrmy is complete. Ou the Japanese side there must be the same degree of com­ pleteness in preparations for advance. Thia does not mean that a general en­ gagement will be fought until the Jap­ anese commander feels that his army ia strong enuugli to force a battle. Then wiH come the real test of strength. It is not known to whot extent the Russian fleet hn been crippled, bnt tbe Japanese admit that it is still strong enough to give them great uneasineaa. Japan, with nearly all of its available military force in Korea, must .retain con­ trol of the sea to win. or ip case of defeat to save its army from destruction, whereas Russia can conduct great land campaigns and permit its fleet to remain on the defensive. tory, whatever the fleets may do, tlie decisive battle or battles will be fought The strict news censorship is painful to press associations and publishers, who hove sent squads of high-salaried corre- It is likely that when Russia gets all her troops concentrated in Korea.

In place of news aud f<ct-i the newspaper readers of all the world arc fed with idle gossip and the more or less absurd the­ ories of self-advertised experts on the conduct of operations of which they arc absolutely ignorant. Tuesday morning, we are told, at vast expense of cable tolls. Admiral Togo's fleet, consisting of fifteen big ships and eight torpedo boats, advanced upon Port Arthur, which the admiral had captured on the previous Sunday, and bombarded it. Why Admiral Togo did thia Is not explained. Nor* are we informed how it was that the Russians regained pos­ session of tbe city. Yet they must hare recaptured IL for we are nutitfrd that on Monday they evacuated Port Arthur, first having surrounded it with land nnd sea mines nnd kcrosened ail the build­ ings, coai nnd stores. At tlie same time the Russians, as is stated by the correspondent*, are rush­ ing large quantities of supplies to Port Arthur. As the Japanese have captur­ ed the town it is certainly very polite of the Russians-to supply them a<» boun­ tifully with food. Meanwhile, the Rus­ sians, having evacuated Port Arthur af­ ter having recaptured it and driven ont tha Japs, have had time, in mlu:ng the harbor, to recover fifteen Japanese tor­ pedoes from which the Japanese, in their pardonable excitement, forgot to withdraw the safety plugs. This nev­ ertheless, has not prevented the Jap­ anese. as we learn from the London Times' correspondent at Tokio, from blockading the entrance to Port Arthur.

King Alfonso arrived' at Barcelona the previous day for n fort­ night’s visit to Catalonia. He was ac­ companied by Premier Maura and War Minister Linares and many other*. The visit ol the King to the city, which is th* hotbed of republicanism, caused the greatest disquiet in Spanish official quar­ ters, as it was feared the republican* and socialists would vent on the Klug their hatred of the premier, whose strong measure* in dealing with the strike riot­ ers % had made him very unpopular. As a preventive measure large 'numbers of anarchists and other suspects were ar­ rested and a cruiser, three gunboats nnd a large force of gendarme* were sent to Barcelona. The Spanish King was ac­ corded a respectful reception nt Barce­ lona on his arrival, nnd shortly nfter ha. attended a Te Denm at the cathedral. The streets were decorated with flags and lined by enormous crowds of peo­ ple.

All the nationalist members refused to enter the chamber, the nationalists fear­ ing that if tha question of caniestod seats arose they would be outvoted by the coalition largely arranged between the republicans aud moderate liberals. Tbe nationalists, however, came into the building accompanied by several hundred local followers, who crowded into the audience part of the chamber and into the halls and streets adjoining, shouting republicans and moderate liberals, for the most part, remained in their seats. The Speaker of the House, a nation­ alist, not being present, the Vice-Speak­ er called upon tlie aergeant-st-arms and the employes of the House to preserve order, but the crowd was too great to handle. Lionsx Castillo, a nationalist, who was one of those elected, mounted the re­ porters’ table and. addressing-the crowd, assured It that justice would be done aud thaf the representatives who had been fraudulently declared elected would nev­ er be permitted to take their seats. As die disorder continued, Repreiientatire Boza, himself a‘nationalist, address­ ed the people to the effect that such a demonstration in the House was not only unlawful but outrageous, and he coun­ seled them that no redren* of grievances could be* Lad by such means.

Making Draft Horses. There is one thing that the man who is trying to raise big horses should not overlook—and that is plenty of , food for the colts.-, A -draft-bred colt' that has not enough to eat will uoL make a draft horse—be will be a chunk of ' some grade, not heavy enough for n draft horse, Some pcopie claim that draft colts will not re­ quire any more feed than colts of a lighter breed. That is an error. They do require more, but not so much in proportion to their .size ns does the light horse, because they are of a quiet disposition and put more of th-jir feed into growth nnd less into exor­ cise or nervous fretting than the light horse. But no big horse will be pro­ duced if the feed is lacking. Give the colts enough to keep them growing, and they will pay a good price for all they oat when the-time comes to sell them. 4t a sale- in Ohio last week draft geldings coming 4 ytara old sold to feeders ut $200 to $285 a head. When feeders enn afford to pay such prices for horses to fatten for market there Is nothing wrong with the draft horse business. But there were no stunted colts-In tbe bunch that sold for these figures. . ________ Here’s a device for hitching three horses to a wagon. The method' illus­ trated substitutes two wagon poles for one. the middle horse between the two poles or shafts. There are two neck­ yokes and a triple erener. The mid­ dle horse has one-third of each double­ tree. making two-thirds of both, while each outside horse has two-thirds of the erener he is hitched to. - Sanitary Straw Hog House.

Where the crop was sowninftue season last fall on high ground the prospect for an average crop is fair. However, much wheat was sown late with a short time for growth on account of freezing weather which began in November. While such fields look »are, yet where the location is favorable the roots are said to oc alive. The result will de­ pend upon the fertility of the soil and the conditions which prevail from now until harvest. On low heavy ground wheat has suffered badly, irrespective of whether it was sown darly or late. The steady cold weather during the winter froze tbe ground quite deep, so that when the snow melted and the rains came th? water oould not be absorbed and in many cases stood for some time on the fields in the low places. In this way much wheat has been damaged, the extent of which cannot be decided until later. On rolling ground some wheat has been washed out and in some cases smoth­ ered by snow or ice. In another month it will be possible to tell more accurately about the extent of the damage and the prospect for a crop.

It Is made from high-grade crucible irte?< about three-eighths of an: Inch thick, and cuts through the soil easily. There are certain conditions under which the rolllug coulter will not work well, aud then'the flu coulter can often be used to good advantage. Years ago the land side of the share was always dovetailed and the cutter ■et in level, but later luanufacfurcrs and blacksmiths have simply riveted or bolted the steel to the share without dovetailing. This is cheaper than dove­ tailing. but the Utter method causes the plow to njn better than when the cutter Is bolted to the aide. The fin cutter Is always slanted well hack and is rounded back nt the top. When made In this form,, wear docs not so soon Impair it* usefulness as if the edge were made straight like a* cutter which Is cast on tbe share. A fln cut­ ter made with a straight-cutting edge and rounded forward at the top would soon wear so that grass, roots, trash, etc., would not readily pass upward and off nt top of coulter. A few years ^go I lx)ugbt a plow with fln attachmunt. the cutter having been put on by the manufacturers, it was slick- a clumsy affair that I would have done muck better to have bought the plow and had tbe smith put the cutter on. for it was over one-quarter thick and stood forward nt top bo much that it modeled. ’ There was one nice .feature gbout this cutter. In that it was bolted on with stove bolts, so it could be taken off and put on again, ns conditions re­ quired.—Geo. T. Pettit, In St. Louis Republic. Co-Operntvc Milk Belling. The Springfield (Mass.) Co-oi»enrth'e Milk Association is regarded as some­ thing of u model of its kind. The as­ sociation received during tlie year 4.­ 216,521 quarts of milk nnd paid tbe farmers J121L297.77 for their product. This lacks a small fraction of being three cents a quart for the year, round paid for the milk furnished. • The vol­ ume of business done during tlie year was not far from >300,000. XA rej»ort wgs made on the creamery established by the association lu Washington County. N- Y.. from which it now receives its supply of cream and but­ ter. In eight months the product amounted to one hundred thousand pounds of butter. The association re­ ceived 579,000 quarts ptore of milk this year than last, nnd paid tbe farmers about >1^.900 more than last year. The farmers were paid on the whole prod­ uct about one-sixteenth of a cent more j>er quart than the preceding year.— American Cultivator.

We would get as good a type of mut­ ton Hbecp as we could conveniently without Inquiring particularly as to the breed. We would uot take Meri­ nos. however, nniesa they were pretty well graded up with M>me of the mut­ ton breeds of which tbe Shropshire Is the moat generally known nnd a very popular breed. We would not get more than twenty-five or fifty to start with nnd would use a buck of the mntlou breeds that we could get moat con­ veniently; Shropshire, Southdown, Hampshire or Oxford. If the butchers do uot give enough we would kill the surplus and sell them to the neighbors.

The importance ot testing seed corn enunot Im? too strongly urged. The fol­ lowing I* an extract from a letter re­ ceived from Professor A. W.Hutne. of the Illinois College on this subject: ."If, as seems probable, we are com­ pelled to. select seed corn (or next spring from a crib having a large per­ centage of frosted cars or of ears which for various reasons will not' grow, tlie question Is what can be done to help insure our stand of corn for the coming, year? It will hardly do to plant seed on valuable land with a certainty that one-fifth wilF not grow. The best suggestion the writer has to offer to corn growers Is that they make a most careful inspection of corn, which they expect to use for seed, whether It be purchased from re­ liable growers or selected from their own storehouses. We believe it Would l>e possible for every ear of corn plant­ ed !o Illinois to be tested for vitality. If an ear does not come to the required standard, It may be possible to discard It, thus reducing tbe amount of seed which will not grow and ‘materially increasing tbe stand of our corn crop tbe coming year.” . Selecting a Goo^ Layer. An old country poultryman makes tbe following suggestions as a help in selecting good layers: "There are cer­ tain individual characteristics, one of which Is the shape of a bin!. If a straight line be drawn from tbe back of the head to tbe toes, tbe hen which. Is likely to be a good layer will usual­ ly have the binder half of her body largest, whilst a hen 'which may be suspected of being a poor layer will show more in the front; tbe reason tieing that a poor layer make* a bet­ ter table bird, and has a larger, longer breast, whilst a good layer makes a poor table bird, and has a' compara­ tively small breast, whilst the egg or­ gans nre more fully developed. Birds which an* good layers are usually very active. They always look healthy, and in most cases their combs are usually fully .developed, particularly if they belong to the long-combed varieties, which are reputed to be the best lay­ ers. A heu with a long comb may usually be regarded ns a good layer, and If she Is not there must be some special reason for the contrary." Five-Horse Equalizer. A. J. Ila tan, of Treesbatik*. Man. writes tbe Nor’-West Farmer Inclosing n sketch of a five-horse equalizer. He says: “I have bad considerable expe­ rience in breaking up grub land and have found that the very best results come from a good strong fourteen-lnch grub plow..

In order to equalize tbe com­ bined strength of tbe horses an evencr Is made ou the plau shown In the IIlustrr.tlon. A piece of timber 3x5 and fifteen inches long is selected. An Inch hole Is bored three-fifths-of the distance from the end for the 'clevis whicii attaches the tiro Iter to the plow ring. A three-horse attachment is fastened to the short end, a chain Is at­ tached to the long end of the piece of timber running between the two off aide- horses through their neckyoke ring and attached, to’ a double-tree clevis for tlie lead team."

Candidates were given wt^lc in the Esquire’s and Knight's Kink, the officers of Ivy lodge receiving great praise from their vis­ itors for the excellence of their work. After the business of the evening had been concluded, an adjournment was taken to the opera bouse, where two great tables had been spread the full length of the hall, and laden with good things to eat, to-which undivided at­ tention was given until the load had been transferred' from the tables to a more satisfactory resting place, after which came cigars and toasts.

Monkman, a young dentist of Vermontville was severely injured here last Friday morning by being thrown from a buggy, and for a time it was thought he had suffered very serious injury. In company with Cha*. Moore of the same village and two commercial traveling men he was driving, into the village from Ver­ montville and when on Sherman street, near M. B. Brooks' residence, the front wheels of the buggy went into a rut which had been made by the recent floods, letting the tugs drop, and the buggy ran onto the horses. The team started up quickly jerking Monkman, who was driving, out over the dash­ board, and throwing him to the ground with great force, striking squarely on hi* back. Moore and .one of the traveling men jumped and the former in striking sustained a few slight cuts about the bead and hl* hands badly lacerated. Monkman was picked up and carried , into Mr. Brooks’ residence, where be was attended by Dr. J. I. Baker, who after -a time brought him back to consciousness and left him resting easy. Later he was taken to hishome at Vermontville, where be is reported to be getting along nicely. The team, leaving the buggy at the scene of the accident, ran over on Maple street and ended up in front of Gulden's store, none the worse for their run. A dispatch was sent out Saturday to the slate papers from Vermontville stating that Monkman would bring suit against the village for damages but as yet the village authorities have heard nothing of it and it is doubtful if said dispatch was correct, a* we do not see howThe village could in any way be responsible for the accident. Hundreds of vehicles have passed over the same place, and we believe no one would consider it a dangerous place.

Where animals are kept In th during the summer mouths, as. stances, the breeding stock, nothing contributes «o much to their comfort as that of protecting them from flies. Animals that are kept busy fighting flies require more food to keep them In condition, and. Indeed, it is impossi­ ble with an unlimited supply of food to keep them in proper condition. Advantage. should be taken of the fact that flies constantly tend to seek tbe light places. A atable need not be absolutely dark In order to prevent aadoyance from flies, and. In fact, wc ilo not believe in keeping stables too dark, on account of the fact that ani­ mate are Hable, If kept in sueb quar­ ters for any considerable length of time, to go wrong in their eyes. Gun­ ny sack nailed over tbe windows of the stable will greatly reduce the numof flies that will pester tbe ani­ mals. These should not be nailed down absolutely tight at the bottom, or air will be excluded and the stable ■wHl become warm and unhealthful. If the sacks are partly loose at tbe bottom they will still shade the stable *at!»factorliy nnd at the same time admit air.

The Port Arthur fret, which at tbe beginning of tbe war con­ sisted of seven battleships and about tbe same number of cruisers, has been re­ duced to two undamaged battleships and to two or three cruisers. The persistent hammering of tbe Japanese has so weak­ ened it that its only hope of safety is to remain in the harbor, protected by the guns of the forta, and await the arrival of the Baltic fleet. That fleet, on which the hopes of the Russians are centered, ought to be leaving soon for the Orient. The chimerical project of sending it by way of tbe Arctic ocean has not been en­ tertained.

The Japanese are elated over the suc­ | cesses they have won al Port Arthur. They are also proud of tbe achievements of Vice Admiral Togo, particularly of his newest strategy of counter-minitig tha enemy's harbor nnd decoying him across this field of mines to an equally dgngeri oub flank attack. ,. The success of the system of placing ■ deadly connttr-minoa is due largely to a seriss of careful observations made by the Japanese during their previous at­ tack* on Port 'Arthur. The Japanese saw the Russian Sect leave tbe harbor and return to it several times, and they uiBcurcrvo discovered mat that tuc the nu»wu Russian warship* followed an identical course everv time I they came out or went in, evidently for , the purpose of avoiding their own mines. I Tbe ‘Japanese took bearings on this course. When th* destroyer dkisiMui ‘ Japanese ’ipanere' torpedo of- the torpedo flotilla flotilla laid —— the counter-mine* during the night of April 12-13 they placed them along this course. The laying of these counter-mines wss exceedingly perilous, because, if any Jap­ anese boat with mines on board had been। ■truck by a lucky Russian shot she wouldI have been annihilated. The weather of the night of April 12-' 13 favored the work. There was a heavy min. the night was dark and cloudy and tlie Russian1 rearcbUgbta playing over the channel failed to reveal the presence of the Japanese destroyers. Rear Admiral Dewa was iu command of the Japanese squadron which decoyed the Russian ships over the field of mines. His squadron consisted of the cruiser* Chitoae. Yoahino, Kasagi nnd Takasago, nil tmarmorcd vessels, which presented a tempting bnit for the heavier Russian ship*. • Vice Admiral Togo directed the flank nttayk. He had the battleships Hntrase, Mikaxa. Asahi. Shikishima, Ynshima and Fuji. He waited thirty miles out nt sen until Rear Admiral 'Dewn signaled him by wireless telegraphy to come in. His vessels then dashed at full speed toward the entrance of the harbor. All the bat­ tleships under Vice Admiral Togo, are. capable of a speed of eighteen knots and they quickly covered the distance. It op. One-half of the hog can taken down and the other half hanging.

It is not clear what warned the Rus­ sians that they had been trapped, but they probably discerned the battleship squadron on tbe horizon and retreated precipitately to die harbor. Vice Ad­ miral Togo did not succeed In preventing the Russians from entering, but did force them to n disastrous retreat, which end­ ed in the destruction of the Petropav­ lovsk and the disabling of the Pobieda. After the*e occurrences the cruisers Xishin nnd Knsngn were used to bom­ bard Port Arthur.

Other expqfts aver that if the Japanese were to march to Harbin they would march hack from- there in as bad shape as Napoleon’s troops did from Moscow, and that it will be madness for the Japs io attempt to go any farther than Mukden.

The most serious phase of the race problem that now presents itself in Mis­ sissippi is the alarming spread of the murder mania among the negroes. In the first three months of the present year there were no less than 150 murders in Mississippi, 90 per cent of which were committed by negroes, and the victims were members of tbe negro race. Witbin a radius of thirty miles along the Yazoo Delta Railroad last week ten negroes were killed. The crimes in every in­ stance originated from crap games or church festivals. These two forms of amusement seem to lie running neck nnd neck for the honor of being the inspiring cause of murder. The rich nnd fertile delta is the hotbed of the carnival of crime, and tbe plant­ ers are viewing with alnrm the increas­ ing mania of the negro to shed the blood of his race. Frequently it happens that n white man in the victim, and just as frequnently the negro pays n prompt pen­ alty for his crime. But when a negro Is the victim, the murderer usually es­ capes in the confusion incident to the sudden breaking up of the crap game or festival. The spirit of InwIeMiness nnd iisrvgard for human life is traced to several causer, chief of which is the pis­ tol-carrying habit Use of cocaine is another fruitful source of crime, iu spite of the rigid laws against the sale of the drug.

He was car­ ried. limp and half unconscious, to the gallows, aud tlie trap was sprung ns he was sitting on a chair. Hi* death was more horrible than that of either of lib companions. No clergyman accompanied him to whisper words of consolation tohlm ut the las«. and his death struggle* mnrked an excess of agony not equaled in Chicago executions of many years. Van Dine wns the last to be hunged. The possibility that his mothers pirns to the Governor might result iu a reprieve led Sheriff Barret: to delay his execution until nfter both Niedemeyer and Marx had been ent down nnd wheelwl away to the jail hospital. He died, like Marx, with prayers on hi* lips ami a priest ou either side of him os he dropped. Aside from the pitiful spectacle of Ntedomeyer's Inst moments the execMtkNV was devoid of more than the usual nwfnl scenes. Marx mid Van Dine said noth­ ing to their nttendnntN either on the death march or on tbe scaffold, and they died quickly. Niedemeyer. as he wad wheeled along the corridors, tried to bent his head nguiiwt the walls nnd wrest himself loose from his shnrkle*. nnd the guards were forced to hold him until he wns strapped in his chair. It was nine minutes nfter the trap fell before his heart stopped begtlng, nnd he was in convulsion* for that length of time. © j IV The Kind You Have Always Bought, and which has been in use for over SO years, has borne the signature of _and has been made under his perMna^ supervision since its infancy.

VOLUME XXXI BUSINESS Of RECTORY: THE VILLAGE LAWHAKERS. . Held . All members of the common council were present Monday night with the exception of Trustee Zuachnitt, and it wu well towaad midnight 'er* they closed up shop. A petition signed by Dearly all the business men of the village, asking the council to take some action regarding U»e street sprinkling question, was presented. The petitioners asked the village to stand the expense ot the sprinkling, but they could not see it that way and finally passed a resolution to the effect that 25 per cent, of the cost should be assessed to the village at large, 25 per cent to the real estate anti 60 per cent to the personr.1 prop­ erty along Main street, within the limit of the sprinkled district. The district to be sprinkled takes in from Al. Lena's residence to the railroad track, the price agreed upon being •15 per week, during the season the sprinkling is needed. This arrange­ ment, we believe, will be an improve­ ment iu many respects over the old way. The amount assessed .to the village will not be burdensome and we believe all will concur in Lhe action taken by the council. The petition of Henry and Rebecca Winslow which was presented at a previous meeting, was taken up and tabled. The village marshal’s report for the month of April was Hext read: it shows the village received t!2 for four arrests for drunkenness. The will of the late Daniel Jackson, bequeathing 1500 to the village of Nashville to provide for a public hos­ pital, received some attention and a committee, consisting of Trustees Mal­ lory. Gribbin and Greene, were ap­ pointed to look into the matter and see what c*n be done to hold the bequest E. R. White did not want to serve on the cemetery board and his resig­ nation was accepted. Fetcr Rothhaar was appointed to fill the position. A number of towns around lhe state have passed anti-spitting ordinances, aud the inspiration struck the council. The president appointed Trustees Greene and Mallory to frame such an ordinanerf, therefore in a short time Nashville expectorators will be ex­ pected to carry around spittoons with them. The sidewalk and crosswalk com­ mittee made its report, wherein It was set forth that they bad found 49 de­ fective walks, and recommended that parties having same'shall be, notified. The report was adopted. Bills to the amount of SG8.4M) were allowed and at about this time Trustee Mallory’s thoughts of home prompted him to move to adjourn, and the curtain dropped. luj ovomns BEGIN NOW • OPEN AN ACCOUNT With us now. wp conduct our busitMM along strictly commercial and Bavtao Bank 11ms. with *27b,(MX).0U portion of share.

Robert Nevins, living in Maple Grove, was picked up alongside lhe road near Orr Dunham’s last Friday night unconscious and was taken home, where he died Saturday morn­ ing. The circumstances of his death are mystifying and it has not been determined just what did kill him. -He was in town Friday and started home iu the afternoon,’ on horseback and later was found lying beside the road apparently dead. After be was taken home Dr. Shilling was sum­ moned. who made an examination of him but could not find a mark on his body anywhere that would indicate he had suffered Injury. It was thought at first that ne had been thrown from the horse, but this theory is proven questionable by lhe absense of ap­ parent injury, and il is stated by some that he had been drinking heavily and was intoxicated when be left town, which is also discredited by others. At any rate a thorough autopsy should have been made and the cause of his death determined. The body was taken to Battle Creek Monday, where the funeral services were held and the remains interred.

Mr. Warden was away and when dur­ ing the silence of tbe night on the plains young Adam Warden, his brother, beard peculiar noises at lhe barn, which is at tbe rear of tbe bouse, he threw on part of hia clothes and ran out to see what was tbe matter. As be unlocked I lie barn doer bis attention w held by the sound of a deep, hoarse mewing, accompanied by tbe stamping of horses' feel and the whinny of alarm. Still unsuspecting lie entered, to feel at once the pricking of a score ot cruel cuts oo bis back and shuijl-' ders, tbe weight of a heavy animal on him and to hear tbe angry growl of the wild beast thundering iu bis ear. He jumped aside, letting forth a howl of dismay which was accompanied by a pistol shot and a sudden relief from his buraen. Tbe cat had sprung over his head at someone beyond, spitting and snarling. Again came the sound of a shot, followed by a heavy thud Io tbe floor. Then bis sister­ in-law rushed up, asking if he was hurl. It was all over iu a moment and It took the lad some time to realize that s> wild­ cat bad been bis assailant. Fainting from loss of blood, be stumbled into the bouse, where bis wounds were dressed.

The Hoatzin a Curious AnimnI and an Important Link in Evolu­ tion of the-FowL One of the most interesting birds known to science is the hoatzin, say Jerrard Grant Alien and Leonard But­ tress, in an article on “Bird Babies," in Pearson's. Indigenous \o South America, this precocious youngster has made itself famous by the arboreal feats which it performs while yet at a very tender age. On the "thumb" and "forefinger” of the young hoatzin's wing appear Uny claws, and, armed with these, the Uny creature crawls out of its nest and clambers about the boughs of trees, using them as hands, by means of which it hooks itself along. The progress, Indeed, exLrtan efforts of the human baby, whose first perambulations are made with the assistance of friendly, chairs and otner furniture. These little claws of thu hoatzin are used only in Infancy, drop­ ping off as soon aa the power of flight has been attained. The chief interest of the species, however, attaches to the fact that it is one of the most primitive forms of bird now in exist­ ence, and affords an important link with the ancestry of the fowl of to-day. Originally, as is generally known, birds were evolved from the Lizard family, and the hoatzin forms a com­ paratively early step in the progres­ sion from reptile to bird. Even when its wings are full grown, so imperfect are they that no upward soaring can be negotiated, and their only use is in making short flights from a higher to a lower branch, while the ease with which the hoatzin climbs affords an­ other indication of its proximity to the lizard tribe. of animated debates on the temperature of the room began. Ganlock would come in shivering ostentatiously and want to know If Peder was trying to keep meat fresh, or what "You don't call this cold, do you?" Peder would ask. scornfully. “If you want anything hotter than this you would better go to a Turkish bath. 1 call this just about right.” “I’ll telj you what;" Ganlock would suggest, “you just take your chair and. sit out on the Ore escape. It is a trifle close here, now you mention It. and I*m sure you're jpst letting yourself suffer on my account I'm going to turn on some heal." . "If you touch that radiator I’ll crum­ ple you up and throw you Into the waste basket, you miserable, cold-blooded lit­ tle wretch." Peder would say. “Let it alone.” ' "I’ll leave It to Walsall,” Ganlock usu­ ally said at about this stage. “Walsall, don’t you think It’s cold enough In here to freeze the tail off a brass monkey?” •’Isn't It hot enough to roast an ox?” “Well, if you ask me," Walsall would say. "I think it’a a little chilly." Then' Ganlock would triumphantly let the steam into the radiator and for perhaps an hour- or two there would be peace. At the expiration of that time Peder would bellow: "Ganlock, the woodwork is beginning to scorch. There’s a good deal of the martyr devel­ oped in me since I took you into my family circle, but i’ll be hanged if I roast to please you. I'm going to open the window and let in a little fresh air?’ “You’ll have to walk over my lifeless corpse to do IL What’s the matter with you. anyway? We no sooner get settled comfortably down than you begin to make things unpleasant Why don't you go to the bathroom and fill the tub with col* water and get in it if this doesn’t suit you?” “Well, I’ll leave It to Walsall. Wal­ sall. aren't you just sweltering?" “I’ll tell you frankly, Ganlock,** Wal­ sall would reply, “I think it’s a little too warm to he perfectly comfortable. Let’s open the transom and shut off that radi­ ator." That is a fair sample of the conversa­ tion that occurred most of the time. Occasionally Peder read extracts from a health journal to prove the debilitat­ ing effects of overheated rooms on the human system and Ganlock would get back at him with the deaths fr>m pneu­ monia and kindred, diseases from the mortuary statistics. “Oh. you two brutes let np on this." Walsall would say. "I’ll bet neither of you knows this minute how hot or how cold It is in here—not within ten degreee." Lt wax that which gave Walsall his idea. When he came home one evening he took a thermometer from his breast pocket and hung It to the chandelier. Peder and Ganlock both made a nish to look at it, but Walsall waved them stern­ ly back. "Just wait and let It bang there for ten minutes,*’ he said, *’ihen we’ll all who cornea the nearest to it may regulate the heat in tho room for a week." They agreed to that, and when the ten m4nut.es had expired Peder guessed 68 degree*. », . "Huh!" sneered Ganlock. “A little while ago you said It wm 120 degrees in the shade." “It’s cooled off a little since then." said Peder. "What’s your gueM?" •*8lxty-flve degreee." "You said a little while ago that it wm 40 degrees below zero.” "It’s got a little warmer since then." said Ganlock. calmly. "I My It’a 67 degrees." said Walsall "Now. well see.” They looked and tbe thermometer .registered 70 degreee. So it was Peder’a privilege to set the tem­ perature for a week. He decided upon 60 degrees as a proper amount of warmth week.

There is no condemnation of the corruption that such a system would lead to. The platform does not antagonize the proposition now before Congress to limit the amount of paper money. In other words, there is not a line in the platform that is written in behalf of the people; not a lino that will excite criticism In Wall street. “The platform ignores the income tax; it fails to indorse the election of Senators by direct vote, and also omits the plank of the Kansas City platform denouncing corporate domination in politics.

It is claimed thnt a i>oa8ibl< development of even the present com­ panies would rob Niagara of one-third oi its water, obliterate the American fall, and leave only the deeper green floor that curves smoothly over the brink of ths Canadian Horseshoe. Recent figures show that Niagara de­ velops 3.500,000 horsepower which no flood or drought disturbs, the Great latkes acting as nn equaliser of the flow. Allowing fur the brief periods durinj which horses can put forth their full force, unresting Niagara could do about ns much work in a year ns tlie 18,000,000 horses of the country combin sd. It could furnish nearly oue-third of the 11,300,000 horsepower now in use iu all tiie mills of the country.

Wealth of Rothschilds Foots Up to Total of a Billion and Half. in the Tattler, a London publication which is nearly always bright, and often very _ well Informed, ___ r argues that however great the riches af the American millionaires may be. there is no family in the United Slates which approaches the wealth of the Rothschilds. .He makes a good case. It appears that careful estimates cf the possessions of the French branch of the family place lu riches at or above J300.000.WO. The British Roths­ childs are rated still higher in the financial world. The Qerman mem­ bers of the family which won »u first success in that country are also very rich, and there are other Rothschilds still to be reckoned with. Altogether, it is claimed that the wealth of the entire family is not less than >1,500,000,000. If that sum is anywhere near the marks, then it follows that there Is no American family anything like so rich as the Rothschilds. They can easily outweigh any other house In the extent and value-of their property. And most of it is very solid and safe. From the first, the Rothschilds have been careful and shrewd in handling their immense wealth. No one can set a limit on its probable accumulations, a generation hence. LATEST RADIUM REPORT. Capable of Charging Water with Budio-Activity—Opens Up Inter­ esting Possibilities. Tbe latest marvel -eported by tbs patient and ingenious students who are exploring the mysteries of radium comes from Ann Arbor, where a profes­ sor of the University of Michigan has found that by surrounding a little ra­ dium with pure water the fluid is soon charged with radio-activity to such an extent that it stops the "pain of cancers almost Instantly, and it seems to prom­ ise the healing of reveral cases which are being treated with water so ener­ gized. Obviously, it is too early tc make very positive claims for radium as a curative agency, but the indications are very auspicious. The certainty is that radium is so different from other substances and other forces that accepted views of the physical world must be revised, and unknown and unmeasured possibil­ ities are larger and more impressive ■than they seemed not many months since, in the eye of science. What has been learned of radium is simply onough to prove cnat very little is yet understood of the earth beneath our We are still only experimenters, touching the dim edges of momentous truths. Every point of vantage gained ■widens tbe fields yet to bo won. Here's a New One. A new swindle is being worked by a ■pair of strangers In southern Michigan, according to the Auburn (Ind.)

This applies strikingly to A. W. VanBysterveld, of 220 Sheldon street, this city, one of the . most prominent doctors of Grand Rapids, and who has been named by his admirers the ‘‘Wonder Doctor.” How popular he is as a dispenser of remedies for the afflicted is shown by the fact that hie reception room is often completely filled with patients waiting their turn, and it is not uncommon for him to have several hundred call at his of­ fice In one day. The reception room is fitted up elab­ orately, the furniture being of the an­ tiquestyle, and particularly interesting to tbe lovers of antiquities. One large room is fitted up as a dispensary or drug store. In this room is pepared tbe medicine which has brought fame to this little Hollander and which has justly entitled him to the title which he has. The “Wonder Doctor” is a very interesting character. Though he has been in this country only a year, he speaks English readily. The doctor was born at the Hague, and being of a well-to-do family, was.given a gen­ erous education. Like ‘‘Edison, the Wizard,” this young man would spend hours and sometimes days, in his laboratory without sleep or food, mixing.compounding and experimenting with the suptile fluids. He finally entered tbe drug business and for a number of years conducted a large drug store, all the time carrying on his experi­ ments in chemistry. A few years later he entered into partnership with his uncle. Dr. DeHan, of The Hague, and one of the_____ leading w physicians t______ __and __ chemists of Europe, and for five years these two men worked together healing tbe sick and bringing the rose back to the faded cheeks of thousands. In tbe years 1902 Dr. Van Byster veld decided to come to America, and after travel­ ing about for a while opened offlere in Grand Rapids and Chicago, the latter city having two offices, one at 1217 Forty-first court and the other at 6006 South Halstead street. A visit to his office will convince one of the enormous business be is do­ ing. Each patient on entering ia provided with a number and must a­ wait bis or her turn. The doctor never makes any examination of the patient or asks them any questions, but from tbe analysis of the urine be quiokly tells them where their aches and pains are. and what the difficulty is. The doctor applies the urine to various tests, and with tbe aid of powerful microscopes detect* the germs which never fail to indicate the disease the patient Is suffering from. The doctor’s reputation has become so extended that there is a big demand for his services by persons who can­ not visit his various offices, conse­ quently, a short time ago he was com­ pelled to devote Fridays and Saturpays to this work. Hundreds of bottles of medicine are shipped on these days to patient* all over the country, it be. ing unnecessary for the patient to call in person. Many send a bottle of urine through the mail. The doctor spends Mondays and Tuesdays in Chicago, and Wednes­ days and Thursdays at Grand Rapids Full information will de furnished as to treatment by mail by writing to the doctor at his office in Grand Rapids, 220 Sheldon' street.

I had no time to look back, fearing a loss of my little gain. But neither was to have the victory.

Dun’s Weekly Review of Chicago trade says: The labor situation, while presenting n satisfactory contrast with that of a year ago, Is not entirely de­ void of complications requiring prompt adjustment to insure non-lnterruption of activity.

Aside from this feature tbe condi­ tions of trade in most branches reflect' continued improvement. Limited deal­ ings in breadstuff* are still conspicu­ ous. but, on the other hand, advance appears in consumption of other com­ modities and in the demand for manu­ factured products. Better weatber helped materially In bringing a gratifying change through­ out the week, the most notable effect being .larger purchases in the promi­ nent retail lines and staples.

To Prevent HhyinK. A-plan fur preventing a hone from shying consists of a nose piece passing over the horse’s doso, a* shown in tbe sketch. Tbe strap does not necessari­ ly draw on tl.e lip unless the .driver pull* on it. then it touches the ani­ mal's nose, and the mere touch does the whole business.. In- describing tills device It* originat­ or says: ‘The contrivance consists of simple head strap, properly braced and coming down between the horse's eyes nnd nostrils, to Its end In the shape of a sort of little metallic upper lip. The latter little pieces of metal, one about two inches long, and not half au Inch wide. Is humorously called a •trolley bit’ ’Its curving aide-ends, like nn ordinary bit are so devised that a very slight, gentle pull on tbe reins bring* the ‘trolley bit against the top of the horse's nose. In complete ab­ sorption in the study of -a new experi­ ence the horse may be-d¥lzen right up by the side of a noisy locomotive, or of a gong-banging trolley car, that pre­ sents to the horse, undet ordinary’ cir­ cumstances. the sinister aspect of a moving, perhaps a living, thing,, going without any visible means of propul­ sion; and In his strict attention to the new sensation at tho tip of his nose be will take no notice of the car or of the locomotive. The queerest thing of all Is the fact that no amount of use or fa­ miliarity with the nose-toucher ar­ rangement seems to lessen the horse’s 'interest in 1L" . The Mosquito Plant. The "mosquito plant." species of ba­ sil. is attracting a great deal of atten­ tion In England just now.

The government paid one-third, St. Louis onethird and the balance wa* raised by pub­ lic subscription. ’ Trees were felled, hills were leveled, the course of the river, De Perea, changed.

The grounds cover 1.240 acres, an area two miles long and one mile wide, nearly twice as much ns the World s Colum­ bian Exposition nt Chicago. The main exhibit palaces nt St. Louis have under roof 12S acre*. • When tlie time arrived for the com­ pletion of the exposition it was found necessary to postpone it another year. Nations were asking for more space for their exhibits and tlie affair had been multiplied in its proportions until at the time of its completion now, it has cost about $50,000,000. and is the largest ex­ position ever given ou earth. Mr. Cleveland’s addreea was the first of the ".Henry Stafford Little Lectures on Public Affair*.” a series founded by hia perscmal friend, Mr. Little (Prince­ ton ”44). who died about rf week ago.

It seems to me that in this hour of danger and distress discussion may well give way to active efforts on the pnrt of nl> lii authority to restore obedience to the law nnd to protect life and prop­ erty." “This.” sold Mr. Cleveland, "closed a discussion which. itt its uct results, dem­ onstrated how far cue’s disposition nod inclination will lead him astray iu the field of argument.’’ Out lining hi* reasons for sending troops to Chicago.

His store, a frame building, is tlie largest structure iu Hnnna. Three explosions, coming in rapid suc­ cession. shook the village shortly before midnight .anil broke the window gins* iu dwellings nearest the poHtofllcc. Too frightened at first to move, the villagers hesitated long enough to permit the safe blowers to dash from the building nnd' drive toward Chicago in n buggy they had stolen from a farmer. Dynamite was the explosive used by the robbers. What method was u*ed tn penetrate tho safe is not .known to the l»ostmaHter. ns his place is almost a total wreck.

That they may not and probably will net be solved by conferring statehood upon the new territory is probable. "Augurs of ill and ruin to follow from the experience nnd the solution of the problem are not wanting, but they never have been wanting in the history of this country, am! they never have been al-_ lowed to control the fearless grappling of new problems by Americans.

Cap Cross of Vermontville appeared before Justice E. J. Feighner last week and pleaded guilty to a charge of drunk and disorderly. He wa* aMCssed 66.45 fine and costs, which he paid. Lyman Lehigh took on a wet cargo and beached. He waa up before "the court” and Justice Feighner gave him the accustomed 66.45. He paid. Milt Moore brought down some more Vermontville money and left the usual amount with Justice Feighner a* tax on a good jagJohn Whitmire remained sober a long time but the pressure waa too groat, "aisy come; alsy go,” and he waa discovered by Marshal Appelman leaning leeward. He waa up before Justioe McLeay on May 3, but waa not satisfied that bis jag was worth while and aaked for adjournment. Laat Monday he appeared and en­ larged the crosswalk fund to the amount of 63. Some time ago John Carter sold a bunch of truck to H. E. Downing, and among the atu fl was a bicycle. Walt Burd was interested in the deal and took the bicycle, leaving it stand on Main street. John saw it and took it home. As soon aa it was missed Downing and Burd instigated a search and satisfied themselves John had tbe wheel, whereupon Justice Mc­ Leay issued a search warrant and Marshal Appelman brought forth tbe wheel from John’s premises. The matter settled out of court by Carter paying Downing 610 and the coat*. John claims he did it aa a joke and Downing gave him bls ten spot back. The suit of Len W. Feighner v». Wm. Navue occupied only a few minutes in Justice McLeav's court Tuesday. The defendant did not ap­ pear and complainant waa given judgment. Tbe case of Will Hoisington va. F. E.

Mis* Gillespie was shot while sanding of Dec. 8. 1003. One of the moot popu­ lar and prominent society women at Rising Sun. a member of one of the oldc«t and weatthirat fami’je* ot southrtn Indiana, the murder ot Min Gillespie creutwl a sensation throughout the entire country. This was taeoesiwd when tbs murdered woman** twin brother. Jnmea Gillespie; was placed under arrest charg­ ed with the crime. Held with him M necvssorles. are his sister. Mrs. Rrile Seward, nml Myron V. Barbour and his wife. Mrs. Carrie Barbour. Behind the murder of Mire Gillespie la the story at » family skeleton nnd that story the officers of tbc law have not been able to bring ont. Noted throughout Indiana for their pride and haughtiness, the members of the Gilles­ pie family have lived np to their repu­ tation since the tragedy. Those intplirated in the murder trpat the authori­ ties with disdain, while the other rela­ tives maintain a forbiddimt silence. It has developed, however, that although James Gillespie entertained a deep affec­ tion for his sister at one time, he had during the last three or four years of her Ute hated her fiercely. Mi** Gillespie, it is known, had severely criticised the emd’ict of Mrs. Carrie Burbour and tiii* led to a violent quarrel between her nnd her brother. James, who, thereupon, went to* live with the Bert-onrs, opjxwite his own home. The'fact that the moth­ er. Mm. Gillespie, had left her daugh­ ter the bulk of her property intensified the family fend. The tangible evidence ngninst James Gtijespie is that he is one of the two men ta>Riring Sun who own • dou­ ble-barreled shotgun of 12 cnlibc*. The bullet taken from Miss Gillespie’s t>-mple was a No. 4 bird shot, the kind need in her brother’s gun, a supply of which, had been given the laster n few dnys previous to the tragedy by Myron Bar­ bour. Ou the night of the murder twe men were approaching the Gilcspis home from opposite directions. Both saw tho flash of the gun and heard the report, but no one pasaed them while they tan to the spot.

A little nitrate of soda applied In tbe row at the time of sow­ ing will hurry the growth of peas. The market value of the crop depends largely upon its earliness.

During the last year a test lu potato growing waa conducted at the New Mexico Experiment Btutlon with the idea of finding out something about the beat time to plant beat method of culture, as well as testing a large numher of varieties. Two plantings were made, the first one on March 30, anti the second on April 30. In each cans part of the potatoes were planted about four Inches deep and the furrow was plowed back on them, while those on ridges were put In with a garden trowel about the same depth. A few of the potatoes planted In furrows were covered with straw and then with dirt. Immediately after planting All were irrigated to start them sprout­ ing. The potatoes on ridges sprouted first, and a good stand as well ns « Ai Ir growth was secured. Those planted In furrows were very un­ satisfactory, and, on the whole, the stand waa poor. In fact the re suits from these potatoes were very unsatisfactory; tbe small-sized tubers and poor yield were due. to a large de­ gree. to the soli packing so much around the plants after each irriga­ tion. The cultivation given between tbe Irrigations did not seem to nelp very materially to keep the soil loose In the middles. On the other hand, tbe potatoes In the ridges ripened ear­ lier. during the first week of July, and the tubers grew to a fair size nnd the yield was good. The early plant­ ing did the best. On the whole, the results of the early plnntlng and ridge system of culture were very satisfac­ tory and encouraging. Out of the thirty-nine varieties plant­ ed. the Rose Seedling. Triumph, Ear.y Six Weeks. Early Ohio and New Ver­ mont Gold Coin did the best These nre all early varieties. It seems from these results that early planting, ridge culture and n suitable early variety are among the more important points to be rous’d ered In potato growing, at least in the Mesilla valley.—Fabian Garcia.

Tbe Russians seem to hare abandon­ ed Port Arthur to its fate, and Gen. Stoesael and his men must either sur­ render or die. The Japanese invading armies swarm at will over the narrow neck of the Lfao-Tung peninsula. They railroad back of tbe doomed fortress. Alexieff and the wounded were hurried­ ly shipped north, just before the way of escape was closed. Admiral Togo has reduced Port Arthur’s fleet to a uullity. Two big Japnucsc armies, believed to number not less thau 60.000 men. have landed on the I.iao-Tung peninsula north ot Port Arthur, seized the railroad nnd put tire Russian fortress in a state of siege. One army landed on the west, the other on the east, coast of the penineula. It fa reported that one anny Kill march, north nnd attack Newchwang. Port Arthur has been isolated and left to its own resources. And yet all this the Russians seem to accept with great atoicism.

They assert that the fortress of 1’ort Arthur’ is impregnable and amply pro­ visioned to stsnd a siege for a year nnd that it can hold out until tbe time comes' to relieve it. While the landing wan proceeding on Thursday, the Japanese ships, consisting of the battleships Miknsa, Hatsuse, Rhikashima, Yashima and Fuji, and the cruisers Iwatc.

Up to the bombardment of 8cbaatopol, writes John G. Davis. In Pennsylvania Grit, ships that were practically those of the previous two ieenturios were In use. Nava! devel eipment waa practically unknown, nnd It waa not until the shell was Invented that the necessity of a change wns made manifest. The-English ships at Sebastopol were of tly? old two aud three-decker broadside variety, the flagship of tbe squadron, the Royal Albert, being a vessel of 3J00 toes burden carrying 121 guns. In those days tbe ship with the largest number of guns was “the’ best fellow." prac’tically regardless of any other consid­ eration. A few of the Royal Albert’s guns wore shell guna. but nearly all of them were the long-32-poundera, exact­ ly like those with which the Vlrtor. the flagship of the famous Nelson, was armed seirenty years earlier. In near­ ly three-quarters of a century, then?Yore, there had been little or no real progress In the matter of cannon. A'tnl beyond the Introduction of Hteam as n motive power, there was very little ‘development in the ships.

Armor Vnd been suggested an early as 1812, when John Stevens of Hoboken. N. J.. broached the idea. Nothing came of it. however. perhaps because the ex­ treme necessity of it was not appar­ ent, and It was not until 1843 that any­ thing definite wai accomplished. In that year the Secretary of War was authorized by Cong?es» to enter Into contract with Robert L. Sevens, son of the man who originally proposed armor, for the constructlothof a “war steamer for harbor defense, shot and shell proof, to be built principally of Iron.” Tbe length of this .vessel was iron." The length of this vessel was to have lieen 413 feet, and Its protection was to have been a belt or armor of Iron <>% tncher in thickness. Work was not tiegun until 11 years after the con­ tract wns authorized, nnd when the ship was about half completed Con­ gress refused further appropriations. Owing to this fact, the honor of plac­ ing the first armored war ship on the sens belongs to France, the French Ironclad frigate Glolre taking the ways In 18.39. though previously to this tbe French had placed in service several . .floating Iron batteries which demon­ strated their power in the battle of Kinburn, a Russian j»ort on the Black Sea. in 1854.

Nevertheless, to the United States. Great Britain nnd France the world owes most of tbe ideas of naval Con­ struction which have to-day apparent­ ly come near perfection. The United States began the change by applying the screw as a means of propulsion In place of the old aide paddie ‘.wheel. Tbe American ship Princeton^ 1842­ 1843. was tbe first war vessel lu the world to have the screw. Though our own naval authorities saw at once the superiority of this type over the old. Europeans took up the idea with the greatest reluctance, probably becau.-*e of the then belief that nothing good could come out of the United .8tat--.s. Nevertheless, it became evident after a time that the Improvement must be adopted If pace were to be kept, and In 1853 tbe French built the screw haul­ ship Napoleon.

Gokay on Phillips •treetSunday afternoon at 3:45 o’clock, after an illness extending over four years, of kidney disease. The funeral was held from the Evangelical church Tuesday afternoon and the remains interred in the Lakeview cemetery. Rev. J. G. Winey, of Campbell offi­ ciated, and was assisted by H. I. Voelker of the Evangelical church and Rev. Chas. Herring. Mr. Price was born in Pennsyl­ vania 85 years, three mouths and three days before the time he passed away. His grandparents were descendents of Germany. He was married in 1846 in Ohio to Miss Emma Humphrey, and wm only a short time before graduated from the Grandville, Ohio, college. He was ordained a Re­ formed minister in 1848 'and in 1854 left Ohio and took a charge at Colum­ bia City. Indiana, where they remained until 1869, when they moved to Mich­ igan. He then took up his labors in Campbell township, Kent county, where be preached the gospel and labored in his chosen calling up to a few years ago, when his health began to fail. He lived for many years on bis small farm northwest of the village, and about five years ago broke up house­ keeping and with bis estimable wife went to live with their children. They were blessed with twelve children, eight of whom are living, Mrs. A. J. Brown of'Vermontville: S. - W. Price, Castleton: Mrs. F. H. Gokay, Nash­ ville; Frank Price. Castleton: Mrs. Frank Tyler, Lansing: Mrs. J. F. Marshall, Shelby, Oceana county; Mrs. Emma Bahs, Castleton and Miss Libble Price, Nashville. He has one brother and two sisters who reside in Ohio. Mr. Price was a man very much re­ spected, was always considered honest and bis love of bis chosen work brought out the many good qualities of bls character. If bis life work could be written it would be a history of the vicissitudes of early days that would stir the hearts of the present genera­ tion. If the number of souls he was instrumental in bringing from the mire of ungodliness to the ranks of the Savior, for whom he labored inces­ santly, could be known his name would go down in memory as one of the principal causes of a Christian civili­ zation. The number of marriages he has performed, if known, would make the work of spreading the gospel, he was looked upon as one who was worthy of all the honors that can be bestowed upon Xim by his master, and the many kind deeds he jierfortned during his life formed such endear­ ment to his friends that while tney are L’’“' MJI64J sad to lose him, they are satistied he has gone to a rich reward.

Elbridge Gerry Potter died at home ome in Maple drove Gr---- nSaturday ------- - ~ *May 15. He had been a sufferer for years or it might be said since the day he received a wound at the battle of Gettysburg oa the afternoon of July 2, 1863, where he was shot down while carrying the colors of his regiment, in the fierce fight for the possession of Little Round Top. E. G. Potter was born June-18, 1841. on Belleisle Onon­ daga county New York. He came to Michigan in the early summer of 1861 and on August 22 of that year with his brother Capt. L. B. Potter of Maple Grove enlisted in a regiment called Merrill’s Horse. He was taken sick at St. Louis, Mo., and did not muster. Returning home to Michigan later in the season, he enlisted in an organiza­ tion known as Rankins’ Lancers. The Lancers disbanded during the winter of 61-82 and Mr. Potter re-enllsted in Detroit in a regiment known as Stock­ ton’s Independents, but which subse­ quently became the 16th Michigan In­ fantry. Joining his regiment in the Milla. After the defeat of Pope at lhe ■ebood Ball Run light hla regiment joined McClellan in Maryland and wm M the battle of Antietam, he wm, al so at the battle of Fredricksburg Dec. 12-13, 1862, and at Chanoellorevtlle in May At the battle of Gettysburg he was stated was severely wounded in the right ankle. He wm Dear death’s door from the severing of an artery by the bullet and later for weeks his life hung on'a orittlc thread, gan­ grene having set in; bis nurse during this time writing to his brother said that only grit saved his life. Discharged for disability he came to' Michigan and Sept. 21,1864, was united in marriage to Rena L. Quick. Two children were the fruit of the marriage Mrs. Douglas Slade of Maple Grove and B. Q. ' Potter of Jackson Mlcb. His wife died in July 1891 and in June 1897 he was married to Mre. Mary Nickerson of Con vis, Calhoun county, Mich., who survives him. The funeral services were largely attended and were held at Maple Grove church Tuesday, May 17. Jeffords post of this village attended in a body and officiated at the burial. The sermon was preached by Rev. Mr. Smallidge of Battle Creek. He was several terms treasurer of Maple Grove, also supervisor. Mr. Potter was a charter member of Jeffords post and was several years its commander. Il was at his suggestion that the post was named in honor of the gallant Col. Jeffords who was killed in a hand to hand fight at Gettysburg. ROUNDED HIM UP. Some time ago Ford Carr, who hu been making his home Id the village the past year, took on too much “booze” and in consequence a war­ rant was Jssuqd out of Justice Feighner’a court for his arrest, which was placed in Marshal Appleman‘s hands. Carr got wind of the issuance of the warrant before the officer could serve it and skipped out. All the while Appleman was keeping up an invest igallon u to his whereabouts and Wednesday of last week wenttoGrand Rapids, where he found him and took him into custody, intending to bring him back on the midnight train. Not thinking he would give him any trouble he was easy with bis prisoner and left him sitting in the waiting room of‘the depot while he went to purchase tickets. Carr took advantage of his opportunity and tried to lose himself, but did not succeed very well as Nell, assisted by a couple of policeman, soon rounded him up in an alley, where he was hiding. By the time he got him back to the depot the train had gone and they were compelled to stay until morning when he was brought here and pleaded guilty, the [ justice assess!"g him 120.11 fine and costs for hie fun. His wife paid lhe fine and be was let go. DEATH OF AN OLD RESIDENT. The remains of Mrs. M. C. Freeman arrived here from Rhinelander, Wis­ consin, Mondav morning, and the funeral was held at the M.

Pieroe. Buffalo, N. Y. WHAT IS SUCCESS. The sermon delivered by Rev. E. E Branch at the Baptist chapel last Sun­ day morning on “What is Success’’ wm a mMtorly effort, and although not listened to by a very large audi­ ence was worthy of more than a pass­ ing thought. What is kucoess? One man defines it m dollars. Another man says tbe dollars do not make suc­ cess, but bis idea of success Is fame. Another says Tt is the supplying of ewy good desire, but he is likely to be mislead by his ideal. Towering above all these is the mar who defines success as winning one’s way In the world and at the same time by ex­ ample m well m precept, doing what he can to help others. Boiled down to a few words the teachings of Christ can be made to read, "Do unto otberr as you wish to be done by." Along life’s main-travelled highway you will find many men who 'are true friend# of man, and with due consider­ ation for others, by being honest and honorable with themselves and their fellow man they have demonstrated that tbe teachings of Christ are prac­ tical. Success is due only to honesty and fidelity to the trusts we are given to protect, and no matter . whether we amass much or little, if we faithfully perform the duty laid before us we nave been successful. A man by his fienius and industry should accumuate wealth, but give every man his due, and men who do this with honesty and fidelity are the men who are the substantial citizens of this country and their faith in God is the foundation of their splendid character. These are the souls which point men to better things even in the heat of business strife. At any moment they can throw off the business armor and extend tbe helping hand. |You do not find them in the ranks of the conceited; they do not claim to be better than others. They realize their own weakness and because of that have sympathy for ail human weakness. They arc neither cynical nor scornful, and because of their faith in man often do many things that in this world would not be called success, but all these things, however, are to be placed, lo their credit as men, and it will all count in that great day. Be a friend to fellow man and true to your trust. Have faithin Him whose success wae the grandest ever achieved. You are not here long; around you are men and women who are dropping out Of their places in the procession and paMlng Into the more perfect light. Let your soul rise to greater estimates of success than dollars and fame, val­ uable though they may be for the time. While you are taking life insurance against lhe day of death to worldly protect those whom you may leave, take out another policy to insure your good standing in the hereafter by be­ ing a friend to your fellow man, and perform the duties well that have been given you to perform. The life of Christ was not considered a success In His time, but His memory has brought fourth such a success as hu never been known. Hedid the thingir he was given to do with an honesty and fidelity that will ever linger a dear remembrance in the hearts of man­ kind. CARRIERS* SALARIES RAISED. Itoprovemenl fund.” When a lot is purchased in the oMMlery the par chaser has the privilege of placing m that fund any amount, he wisbM »o, the sum placed therein to drar. in­ terest from the village at the rate of five per cent per annum m long as it is left, tbe interest to go to keeping up the lot. For Instance, the placing of *20 in this fund would yield an in­ terest of U, which would be expended on tbe lot every year, and would in­ sure Its being kept in a presentable condition; The principal could be left as long desired and the in­ terest would always insure the lot proper care. We sec no reason why this would not be a good thing and tbe number who have signified their willingness to take advantage of tbe plan would in­ sure Ils suoceas. The plan would in­ sure proper attention to many lota which are now left to grow up to weeds and go to decay, and would thereby have a great tendency to beautify the grounds. The cemetery should be kept in a state of neatness and order that would lend to it the cleanliness it justly de­ serves, and make it tbe pride of every person in the village, or of every one who own* a 'lot there. WHEAT PRICES TO BE HIGH. That the 1904 wheat crop will almost be a universal failure all over the country is pretty generally conceded by well informed persona. In Illinois, Indiana and Ohio hundreds of thous­ ands of acres have been plowed under and tbe ground sown to oate. In Michigan this has not bden so gen­ erally done because Michigan’s pros­ pective wheat crop seems to be a little better than her aister states. Certain it is that if there is from onethird to half a crop promised it is folly to turn under tbe wheat, for grain authorities claim that prices will be away up and present indica­ tions justify this prophecy for the trend of grain prices is steadily up­ ward even now.

The landings were- effected on the east and west coasts of the peninsula and with­ in a short time the actual Investment of Port Arthur should be made. Simultaneously with the forward movement of the Japanese army tinder Kuroki and the landing on tbe Liao Tong pen­ insula. the Russians began the evacua­ tion of New Chwang. the chief town RETREAT OF JAPANESE. of Maucburia. The place, with General Kuroki advancing on tbe road to Liao Yang, was untenable by tbe Russians, unless they elected to remain nnd undergo a siege, and so the place was abandoned and the military stores sent northward to Liao Yang. With the exception of Port Arthur,’he whole of the LIao Tong peninsula now remains In Japanese possession and probably another week will see nil of Manchu­ ria, south of Mukden, in the grasp of the Mikado's soldiers. . It is probable that a Japanese army will take possession of New Cbwang and march forward toward Liao Yang to effect a junction with General Kuroki. The Russian retreat, however, greatly strengthens the position of General Kuropatkin. Formerly his forces were scattered from New Chwang, in the wesL half wny up tbe Yalu River, In the east Ignorance of the Japanese plan of campaign nnd tbe uncertainty of where tbe Japanese would strike rendered necessary this disposition. Now tbe Japanese plans of action are fairly well revealed and General Kuropatkinas concentrating his forces to meet the enemy's ad­ vance. With the exception of the gar­ rison at Port Arthur there are now no Russian soldiers furtlier south in Man­ churia than Lio* Yang. What forerf General Kuropatkin has at his disposal b carefully concealed. It Is said by •ome that 150.000 men. outside tbe gar­ risons. constitute tbe fighting forces of Russia In tbe Far East and from Paris comes tbe rumor that It will be July 21 before tbe last of the reinforcements which Kuropatkin needs for offensive operations shall have been dlspatcbed from Europe. By that time it Is assert­ ed he will have 500.000 under him. Meantime 100.000 reserves have been called tor the colors and Russia in fur­ ther preparation for the struggle has placed n loan In Paris for $15*1.000,000. Much interest centers In Port Ar­ thur. which the Japanese will soon for­ mally besiege.

Meantime tbe rumor of sending the revived. It Is said in St Petersburg that tbe fleet, consisting of eleven Iron­ clads nnd seventeen cruisers, will leave Cronstadt in July and will round Af­ rica in its voyage.

Army of 20,000 Avoids a Battle with 32,000 Husain ns. Reports of the Japanese retreat to Fenghtmngcheng are officially confirmed. The Japanese, numbering 20.U00 men, came upon 32,000 Russians iu a strong position Monday sixty miles west of Fenghikingchcug. It being unwise to risk a battle, the Japanese retreated in good order and with great rapidity. An inofficial Russian authority says a pitched battle was not fought, but rumor says there was considerable loss on t>oth sides during the clashes, with the Cossacks harassing the flanks of the Japanese. This division presumably was executing a rcconoai-sance. The pursuit was checked when the main body of the Japanese was rejoiued. This Dews apparently accounts .for the withdrawal to an unknown destination of worshijm and transports from Tower Hill, ten miles north of Kaiehnu. Tdaotung Pchinsula, and of renewed defen­ sive activity at Ninchwang. Commenting on Japan’s naval losses, war experts say that the Japanese naval supremacy in the far East is too firmly established to lie menaced by the de­ struction of two of its fighting ships, but the losses It has just sustained are, *neverthclesa, serious, amounting to nt least 10 per cent of Its sea power. The first-class battleship Hntsuse. sunk by Russian mines on Monday with 441 of its crew, was one of the most modern and effective of the Japanese war vessels. The Yoaldno, destroyed through collision while maneuvering in a tog off Fort Arthur, was a fast protected cruiser. The scrioutmesH of tho loss lies, not in its immediate effect in disturbing the relative' status of the Russian tuid Jap­ anese fleets, but In its possible future ronaeqncnces. Japan now has only fire battleships where it had six at the be­ ginning of the war. and In addition It lores one* of the mare effectire ot its •fourteen protected cruisers. Every disaster thnt tends to weaken the strength of the Japanese fleet mugr have an important effect in determining Russia's action with regard to its Bal­ tic fleet. Japan has no reserve force except the ships it can build or buy to meet tbe emergency. In proportfon as its navy is weakened the temptation to send the Baltic ships to unite with the Russian ships at Port Arthur and Vlad­ ivostok and possibly regain command of 'the sea will be increased.

The ceremony took place at nine o’clock, Rev. Fr. J. A. Connor of Hastings officiating. The church was prettily decorated, and the.music, which was especially fine, was furnish­ ed by the young ladies' choir of St. Rose’s church al Hastings. A large number of the relatives aud friends of the young people were present, the large edifice being well filled. After the ceremony, the bridal partyenjoyed an elaborate wedding break­ fast at the Wolcott House. The spac­ ious dining hall of the hotel was beau­ tifully decorated, the curtains were drawn and the room, lighted by elec­ tricity. The brjdes’ table contained huge bouquets of roees, while the other tables were decorated with smilax and cut Hovers.

Nearly four decades have passed since the last soldier fell in battle in the war for the union, and to a very large part of our people now the commemoration of the heroic dead necessarily has not the personal association that at first gave such solemnity to the annual decoration of their graves. But, while the ceremony has thus lost something of its spon­ taneity, it may really have gained more than it lost in value. This day of flowers, which was al first devoted to the personal commemoration of the dead, grows more and more into a celebration of the impersonal virtue of patriotism, which was Illustrated in their devotion unto death. And this is all the more valuable because it excludes all that self-seeking, com­ mercial element that for a time seemed to have taken possession of Memorial day and dishonored the soldier dead by associating with their memory a spirit of commercialism. No matter what the measure of our obligations ■to the volunteers of ’61-*65, they did not go into the war for pay or even for glory. The world never saw a grander exhibition of unselfish sacri­ fice than they made in pure devotion to their country, and this is what we have to commemorate, what we have to teach our children to hold in last­ ing honor. The day this year in Nashville was observed in a true spirit by not only the survivors of that war but by others as well. The line was formed as announced in last week's paper, at the post hall and marched to the Lake View cemetery The usual rites were carried out at the ceme­ tery where everything was in ex­ ceptionally good order, the decora­ tions being profuse and beautiful. In the afternoon the epcra bouse was packed full to listen to the exercises, in which the school took a prominent gart. The oration was delivered by on. Clement Smith of Hastings and was given in his usual finished style, being pronounced by those who heard it as one of the best orations ever given on the subject. Judge Smith is close to the hearts of Nashville people and his utterances are deeply interest­ ing to them. Several trees and shrubs in the parit have been bioken down lately, and the authorities are determined to put a stop to it, even if it is necessary to A. A. McDonald. that any resident of Nashville Would have interest enough in the park not to deliberately do such acts of vandal­ ism. CLOTHING BEHOLD OUR WALL PAPERS.

SELf-REGULATION IN THE LIVING ORGANISM. Sclf-regulation means the tendsnry of living organisms to counteract, by biological or struc­ tural changes, influences of a destructive or de­ leterious. nature. Some of tjte regulative phe­ nomena of the human organism are well known and recognised as such by science. It is genJL erally known, for Instance, that perspiration is a regulative phenomenon tbe object of which la to preserve the norms! temperature of tbe body. Other instances are the powerful development of the mus­ cles of the legs in1 professional dancers, bicyclists, <ud mountaineers, the development of abnormally strong bones in persons in the habit of carrying heavy loads, and the increased activity of tbe heart in,eases of kidney disease. Several German and French biologist* recently haye made a careful study of the subject and gathered a groat deal of important material which throws ;nn intereating light upon tbe problem of self-regulation. The regenerative faculty which the human body pos­ sesses, as documented by the healing of wounds, tbe restor­ ation of destroyed tissue nnd the knitting of broken bones, is developed to n much higher degree lu animals of a lower order. Tbe plansria, a worm quite common In. every swamp, may be cut into several pieces, and each piece will develop into a smaller .but otherwise perfectly formed Indi­ vidual. Recent investigations have led to the discovery that giants also possess restorative faculties, though the latter are not so strongly developed ns they are In animal organisms. Dr. Hildebrand olteerred that, after the first leaf developing from a seed of cyclamen europacum had been cut off. two new leaves grew in Its place.

While moat of the phenomena- of self-regulation tuny be explained ns purely mechanical manifestations of the selfregulative faculty of organisms, there are some so compli­ cated and so clearly to the purpose that ninny scientists are inclined to attribute them to a teleogical principle of cas­ ualty governing all living -organisms. One of the most' perplexing phenomena of that kind Is the regrowth of the extirpated lenses In the eyes of the larva of tritan taenlatus, which was observed by Professor G. Wolff in over 100 cases. HOW TO BECOME INFLUENTIAL IN POLITICS. 1 *'■' 1 । The quickest 'way for a man tv secure influ.­ B ence in politics Is to identify himself with some . fy party, take Its nomination for office, nnd look for ' fjl ike promotion whlcn Is about as certain to follow rl in politics as in any other business where a man fr accepts the rules of the game and plays It skill JL fully. • The disadvantage connected with this way of doing things is that such a man secures ' bis Influence at the sacrifice of bis independence. He is in large measure bound by the platform of the partj ■which nominated him to office. Seeing tbe evil which re­ sults from this loss of Independence some men arc inclined to go to the other extreme—to cut loose from party organi­ zations altogether, voting for tbe best measures aud tbe best men without regard to the question which party sup^ ports them. Those who .hold this view any that even a small minority of independent voters could force the regu­ lar party organizations to compete for their approval and thus compel those organizations to do better things for the country than would otherwise be probable. I believe It is possible to take a middle ground between the theories of the extreme partisan on the one haud and those of the extreme Independent on the other. In taking1 this middle ground I should advise a man not to go into poli­ tics until he bad some Independent means of support suffi­ cient to keep him and his family from starvation upon which he could fall back If he were defeated for office. J should advise him to connect himself with tbe party whose attitude on tho whole most meets bls view of what the country Is going to need In the long run In the way of CHINESE BANK CLERKS. tofciteatoK jWSBBtoMfi China has a way of getting Sold of some of the first principles of things, even though she mav not have devel­ oped them into elaborate and scientific systems. The method of calculation used in tbe Chinese banks may seem primitive to the foreigner; nevertheless it is carried on with rapidity and ac­ curacy. An English officer, staying In Hongkong, tells of his visit to one of the banka. As an Englishman he was received with great civility. "Schroffy shouted the head clerk. This word is not, as it sounds, German, but a corruption of the Hindu “sarraf," or banker's assist­ ant In response to the call a nativ. cashier appeared, noiseless and defer­ ential, with a smooth-shaven skull, a four-foot pigtail and spotless, flowing garments. He carried nellher paper nor pencil about him. With great rapidity be made the de­ sired exchange of notes, doing bis cal­ culating on an abacus—a frame of wire and beads, similar to those used in -country schools years ago. His Long, lithe fingers moved over tbe beads more quickly thsn tbe eye could follow, but there was no mistake in Ute total. • Tbe officer wanted a large piece of money changed into a small coin. In­ stead of going through the weariness involved in counting out tbe three hun­ dred pieces included in this transac­ tion. a simple, ingenious device was employed. A Cat, wooden tray was produced containing one hundred receaaea. each just big enough io lodge «oa coin a ad Just shallow enough to paapaat the possibility of two lurking what that party la doing be abould identify himself with It as prominently as porolUe.

THE OLE MAN A PITIABLE OBJECT. 1 '-J It Is a aad reflection that present day civillgj zatlon Is largely poisoned with tbe Idea that an /./ Idle life is a desirable life, and that this delusion FJ should enslave the American mind, or Indeed that n It should find a dwelling place among ua at all. V Somehow, some way. some time we must grow JL out of this stupefaction, for all the deplorable things, of al! the pitiable objects that incumber < the earth to-day, the most deplorable, nccprdlng to ihe teachings of all history, philosophy and religion, is the idle man or woman. I think every one will understand that my pity la for all ktlers. I make no exception. I cannot understand how either possession or position of any sort can Justify a hu­ man being in lending an Idle life. "In the sweat of thy brow thou shait eat thy bread" Is tbe divine decree written in every atom of man's lielng. Our faculties must be quick­ ened. strengthened, perilled, perfected, by uke. but they must all be used. God never designed one being for brain work exclusively and another for hard work exclusively. Neither Ilis he ever intended that a select few should have no more trying occupation than to loll around, absolutely lost In n slough of sofa pillows, wondering what they shall buy next, nnd, I may add. nature has wisely provided that this sort does not cuinber the ground, for It Is not of the kind that otH-ys the Scriptural Injunction to multiply and replenish the Ctirth.

I place my -finger on this ns the moat cancerous spot In our American civiliza­ tion. - We can never have social peace or political Justice so long as we burden our democracy, with this blasphemous heritage of aristocracy.* The highest title that can be conferred on me Is that of "man." Than that no man should seek a higher. Yet whnt do we see on every side of us in this "democracy?” Out there on the street passes n man. "No! No!" some one Is hasty nnd kind enough to inform me. That Is the “gov­ ernor,” "senator." and So-nnd-ro, or "bls royal highness" Prince So-and-so. Is there anything in our vaunted democ­ racy so utterly inconsistent and withal so completely dis­ gusting?

When this submarine was floated In the water It was found necessary on account of the icy surround­ ings to bring Into requisition a novel method of procedure. The boat rested on the ice, which was sawed all around it With a comparatively alight push the ice block was then overturned, and the submarine took its position in the water. .

Klncbou lies on the Liaotung penlnaula, thirty-two miles northeast kt ' Port Arthur. In its vicinity the penin­ sula la bbt two miles wide and dominated from Klncbou heights, Which form a strong and useful outpost to Port Arthur. Be­ tween xJncboti and Port Arthur there was no available landing place for the Japanese troops. It was necessary for them, the’refore, to land above Klncbou and march down over It- before they could take Port Arthur. Owing- to the circumscribed area maneuvering /or possession of Klncbou and Nanshan hill behind was almost Impossible. Tbe situation resolved itself into a plain case of fight. Tbe battle lasted for six days, but the severe fighting was on Thursday, May 20. The Russians fought like he­ roes, but the Japanese fought like mad men. Tbe Nipponese combination of fanatical, reckless bravery with cool, precise calculation, aa demonstrated In the battles of the Yalu and Klncbou, has never before been seen in mili­ tary history. . v It Is hardly too much to say that live Japanese are invincible.

Twice within that time most of the streams hove overflowed their banks, washing out railway tracks and crops, destroying much proj/erty and render­ ing several hundred persons tempor­ arily homeless. But each time there came a lull In tbe rainfall, the rivers receded and almost normal conditions prevailed. Further heavy rain storms have again swollen tbe streams, this time beyond tbe height experienced fa the two former rises. While the conditions are not such as brought on tbe great June flood of fast year, preparations are being made to . meet the situation as it may develop. Railroad traffic Is demoralized and already rnjiny through trains, both east and west bound, are stalled.

Tbe flooded district em­ braces about one-fourth of Newton and in many bouses the water stands ns. high us the second-story windows.

Persons that can rarely or never make it, in honestv to themselves, are among tire unfortunate. They do not live, but exist; for to live implies more than to be. To live is to be *cll and strong—to arise feel­ ing equal to the ordinary duties of the day. and to retire not overcome by them—to feel life bounding in the veins. A medicine that has made thousands of people, men and women, well and strong, has accom­ plished a great work, bestowing the rich­ est blessings, and that medicine is Hood’s Sarsaparilla. Tbe weak, run-down, or debilitated, from any cause, should not fail to take it. It builds up the whole system, changes existence Into life, and makes lite more abounding. We are glad to say these words in Ils favor to the readers of our columns. LION COFFEE We are going to be more liberal than, ever in 1904 to users of Lion Coffee.

The reception given to the graduat­ ing class of our schools by the junior class at the opera house Tuesday even­ ing was a decided success in every wav. The hall was prettily decorated ana a broad flight of steps led to the stage, where the guests of the even­ ing were introduced to the graduates. Excellent music was furnished by Wai rath's orchestra during the even­ ing, punch was served by a bovy of lade and lassies, flowers were inpro-1 fusion, and the pretty costumes of the ladies all helped to make the scene an attractive and brilliant one. The at­ tendance was liberal and all united in praise of the perfection of the even­ ing’s entertainment. The case of Mrs. H. J. Brown against Fred Parker occupied the attention of tne circuit court Monday and Tuesday. The case was for dam­ age., Mrs. Brown claiming that one of Parker’s bar-tenders sold liquor to her son Earl, who with several other Nashville boys got into aliule trouble at Hastings one night last winter. A large number of Nashville people were called as witnesses, and the tes­ timony was very conflicting. Young Brown and his associates claimed that they bought liquor at Parker's bar on the evening in question, and picked out Adda Parker from among several others as the man who sold them the liquor, but he proved by several witnesses that he was al home sick in bed at the time. The case was hotly, contested and was ably fought by the lawyers on both sides, but the jury, after being out only about half an hour, returned a verdict of “no cause of action.” RURAL ROUTE CHANGES.

The submarine mines In tbe Port Arthur roadstead are Innumerable, and if placed there by the .Russians to prevent ingress of the enemy's ships to tbeir harbor have proved n dangeroti!' preservative. That tho late Admiral Makaroff realized this is indicated by the thorough examinations of tlie har­ bor which he caused to be made shortly before tlie terrible fatality which befell him arid the crew.of his flagship. As his'report showed, he .was not certain of the location of mines placed by bl* own order. Neither the Ruulanfi nor the Japanese feel secure In the movement* of their ships in and about the fateful totality of the submerged mines in the roadstead before Port Arthur nnd thnt part of thp Yellow Sea contiguous to it. The danger to merchantmen sailing In tbe Yellow Sea Is obvious, but seems not to have been considered by the combatant*. When hostilities between Russia and Japan arc over an effort will be made undoubtedly to clear the mines from the paths of navigation, but thiscan never be accomplished with any guarantee of security to vessels. So far do. the mines extend that It mny nor be possible to account for all of them, nnd thow that have gone adrift will remain as a menace to navigation for an indefinite time. « NEW'WAY TO TELL TIME.

With all the modem products of the twentieth century clockmakers before the world and clocks and watches no longer a luxury, it seem* somewhat surprising, a* well as audacious, for any one to declare that he will pro­ nounce all clocks "back numbers” nnd revolutionise all systems of recording tbe hours, minutes and seconds as they go fleeting past Yet a man from Connecticut the home of the cloekmakers and the land of clocks, has the precocity to make such an announcement He Is not a clockmnkcr, but just a plai»> Yankee genius. Samuel Powers Thrasher, of New Haven. Conn., has an invention that bids fair to make Yankee clockmaker* ORE CtOCK SHOWS TIME IK FIGURE*. green with envy. In fact, Mr. Thrasher proposes to tell time Ln figures the same as we read on the time tables of every road in the country. No tongar would be hare us say it is "quarter of 3” or "half-past 2." but as we look at his invention he propose* and insists thnt we must say 2:45 or 2-30. In the twentieth century bustle nnd bustle tills proposal seems likely to meet with more than mere approval. Mr. Thrash­ er proposes to reconstruct tbe familiar face with which Father Time has been wont to remind us of tbe imaging hours and do away entirely with the quaint old dial with its Roman num er sis in use from the middle ages, and likewise take away the old clock’s hands. Instead of jointing tbe way and Jetting us figure out tbe time for ourselves, Mr. Thrasher's new time­ piece will tell us in plain figures at a glance just wbat timv it 1*. It will be no more trouble to tell tbe hour, the mlnuf* and the second than to read Ing In a given space at the proper time, give us the hours and minutes on this wonderful new clock.

Handicapped by Ignorauce. Andrew Lang has read a book by George Ade. which, he says, was given him by a scholar of more than Euro­ pean reputation to fill a gap in bis philological knowledge.

Ten Die In Flame* Started by Explosion in Peogta Distillery. The explosion of a lantern carried by a workman in tbe distillery of Frnnklyu T. Corning &. Co. in Peoria, III., started n fire in which fourteen men were burn­ ed to death and n property lo*« ot about $1,000,000 was caused. The Corning distillery wns the second largest establishment of the kind in the country. The property destroyed com­ prise* a large warehouse, eleven stories high, made largely of corrugated iron, in which was stored 30.000 barrels of high­ proof spirits, tbe cistern and fermenting departments, each in n three-story brick building, and the cattle sheds, containing 3,000 head of cattle, all of which were burned tn death. Only tho cookers are left, of the entire plant. The fire started in the warehouse. Bursting barrel* released a stream of Ignited spirits, which quickly spread the Hames to all parts of the Immenne »tnictnre. and soon the explosion of thou­ sands of casks hastened the destruction of live* and property, and made a noise that terrorised all that part of the city. In a short time the warehouse fell, crushing the smaller bnildlngs near it, liberating a mass of burning debris. A stream of blazing spirit* wa* tqrned into the cattle pens, turning them intn n seething pool of flame, which quickly killed the animals confined there. The cattle were the property of Dodd & Keifer, of Chicago, and F. C. White & Co., of Peoria. The fermenting houses were the next to go, followed by the cistern depart­ ment. In which was 52.000 gallons of spirits. This added fuel intensified the heat and made it almost Impossible for firemen to get near enough to the build­ ings to work effectively. A high wind fanned the flame* toward the Monarch distillery, and chat was threatened. This made it necessary for the firemen to con­ fine their effort* almost entirely to pre­ venting n spread of the fire. In spite of them the flames were communicated to the stock yards, a block distant, but the damage done there was slight Telegraphic Brevities.

VOLUME XXXI BuaiNaas Dmecrwir: JUEfl* THE CLASS OF 1904. The class of WM have said farewell to Nashville school days and last week Thursday night received their diplo- literally packed with people to listen to the program and every number was a treat. The decorations were very preUy and appropriate and lent cheer to the occasion. At eight o’clock the exercises were opened by the orches­ tra, and to the class march the class and teacher, marched through the center aisle and took their places on the stage. Rev. F. E. Armstrong con­ ducted devotional services and Miss Sara M. Franck gave the salutatory, her subject being “Where Romance Ungers." Her effort was brilliant and contained many noble thoughts. The orchestra then rendered another se­ lection and Virginia Herring gave an oration on "Alexander Ham11 ton, which was very pleasing and elicited great praise from those who heard it. Ida Bergman followed with an oration on “Education," which showed that she had given the . subject much thought. She made plain the many advantages of an education and prov­ ed that it was not only essential but was possible, in this age. The high school chorus led by Mrs. Mae B, Scarvell, was a brilliant number of the program and one which was thoroughly enjoyed. They were nice­ ly arranged on steps leading to the stage and presented a pretty sight. Marie Rasey followed with an ora­ tion, “The Rising Sun of the East," which contained a fund of knowledge, humor and intelligence, characteristic of the author. Elbe) Armstrong made a hit with her oration on “Manual Training in the Public Schools." The orchestra played another selection and the only gentleman of the class, Glean Meek, told a good deal about "Socialism," which was well received. Miss Grace'Baker followed with the valedictory, "The Growth of the De­ mocracy," which was a fide oration.

Bennett, in a neat little speech, presented the class with their diplomas and Rev. F. Armstrong pronounced the benediction. It would be hard to say which one did the best as all handled their sub­ ject* in.a masterly wav and proved that the class is one of the brightest ever graduated from the Nashville schools. Superintendent Bennett and bls assistant** are also to be com­ mended In the’ part they have taken in moulding the minds of the class to the end that they have succeeded in passing the highest honor the schools can confer upon them. The council meeting which was held at the clerk’s office Monday night was not in actual session very long, but the preliminaries were of more than the usual length. Not all were present early and the president sent out the marshal to round up the delinquent members. When all had finally assembled a number of fire hose men who were In waiting, were introduced, one at a time, and given an oppor­ tunity to talk the merits of their re­ spective wared and to make prices. It was as good as a circus, and the way the members of the council put them through the sweat-box in regard to goods and prices was a caution. The whole bunch was given a very bad hour, and after the deal bad finally been closed and the goods bought, one of the disappointed sales­ men was heard to remark that “that was the worst bunch of sheenies I ever went up against" But they bought a bang-up good article of hose, and they got it at a very low price, and that's one of the things they were elected for. The hose bought was the “Safety" brand, made by the New York Belting and Packing Co., and it is a wax and gum treated hose which ought to last, with any reason­ able kind of care, for a great many years. ’ I Word was received that Eaton Rapid* had two hose carts which they wanted to sell, on account of having pul in a hose wagon and a team, ana Aiderman Townsend was appointed to go to that city and make a deal for one of them if he could get a good enough bargain. Bills to the amount of <74.85 were read and allowed, a The “spitting" ordinance was pre­ sented by the committee, read, and after a snort discussion was passed and approved. It is published in an­ other column, and those who spit should read it. ‘ ' The committee to look up the legacy provided by the will of Daniel Jack­ son reported that unquestionably the <500 left by Mr. Jackson could be drawn by the village and placed into a hospital fund, to be used at any time in the future when it micht be deemed expedient. On- motion the president appointed C. M. Putnam, G. A. Truman and Henry Roe trus­ tees of the hospital fond. The weather being hot. and the aidermen thirsty, the council then ad jourued.______ The Alumni banquet was given at the opera house last Friday evening and was a jolly affair.

A week or so ago a fellow stopped at John Mason’s southeast of town and sold John a fine colt for 1100, claiming that his father was moving and he was driving across country, and that it was too much of a jaunt for the colt, therefore he would sell it. John though.*, be was getting a bargain but when the owner of the oolt appear­ ed one day last week with an officer and the proper papers to claim the colt it just dawned upon him that he had been “taken in’’ for the money by a smooth swindler. Officers have been unable as yet to get trace of him. Rev. W. J.

It was introduced by "Dock’* Shackleton of Grand Rap­ ids, who has been in the village on business for the last couple of weeks. He was down on the river bank one evening last week, casting for bass with an “Expert minnow," which is a wooden minnow to which is attached half a dozen gangs of triple book*. He had quit fishing and stood talking with W. E. Griffin, and was absent­ mindedly flipping the minnow around, when Griffin's dog became interested In tile little fish and made a lunge for it. He got It and the minnow got him in about a dozen places. In fact, his nose and mouth were pretty much all hooks, and they were all working overtime. With a succession of howls which put to shame any hound which ever barked on the trail of a rabbit the dog made for the tall timber, oocaaionally pausing in his mad career to make a convulsive pass at the minnow with one paw or the other, and then renewlng Lis flight. The reel sang a merry ditty and “Dock" threw a few spasms as he saw his tackle dis­ appearing faster than it ever did when attached to a five-pound bass, and he attempted to reel in bls “dog-fish," frantically struggling with the drag and click and at the same time yelling “whoa" to the dog, who didn't know what “whoa" meant jujU-at that tline. The limit of the line soor. run and it parted with a twang like a banjo string, while toe dog disappeared.

"Although,” says Capt Niemann, “the responsibility of n world war Is great and although the idea,of peace of na­ tions is very pleasant, valuable acquisi­ tions are won only by the expenditure of blood and iron. “If the German people intend to par­ ticipate in the struggle for the domina­ tion of the world it must accustom Itself to the idea of the coming war. In the coarse of long years England has grown great through the dissensions of conti­ nental powers. For centuries past Eng­ land has reaped advantages from every war, most of which were iustigated by herself. “It required the genius of Bismarck to awaken the German empire to a sense of its power.

CONSTANT NAVAL ACTIVITY AND LAND MANEUVERING. x«ot6-Hir in the different. varieties showed wide variations. A roller is almost indispensable for some kinds of farm work, and a good oue may be made by covering mower Wheels with 2 by 4’s, as shown Id tbe UluMratlon. The roller'can be made ■ny desired length, but seven feet Is a very good size. Cut tbe projections from the surface of the wheels with n heavy hammer and cold chisel. This Is not tin great a bisk as one would think. Hnve your blacksmith drill the* holes If you have no drill, one every four inches on alternate edges of the wheel. The holes and bolts should be half an Inph in diameter. . It 1s best to have Iraxes bolted under the frame for the journal and set screws in the hubs. Make tbe frame of 4 by 4 inch stuff. Cut tenons in the end pieces to tit the mortise in front and back and ent mortises In the end pieces eight inches from the shoulder of tbe tenon for the second front nnd back pieces. These second pieces make the frame rigid if properly put to­ gether. Notch the tongue one inch where it crosses the frames nnd brace It with heavy iron straps. A seat can t>c made by bolting fn two light wagon wheel rims as shown and bolting an old mower seat on a Iward on fop. This roller properly made and cared for will last a lifetime.—American Agriculturist. Aside from It* cleansing propertl.m lime In tbe form ot whitewash used as paint will materially improve the appearance of outbuildings. Unless tbe barn is small a coat of paint Is preferable to the whitewash. If you object to tbe staring white on tbe buildings stir into the whitewash a lit­ tle lampblack, which will give the mix­ ture a lead color, light or dark, ac­ cording to the quantity of lampblack used. If one has a stretch of stone fence or a stone outbuilding it may be made exceedingly attractive by plant­ ine Amrw>liniKlH Vnltr-hu ing Ampelopsls Veitchii .'JniunnouA (Japanese nr or Boston Ivy), and letting It run qver the walls. This plant Is of a creeping nature with sticky tendrils, which cling to any rough surface. The green of the foliage during the summer Is exceedingly at­ tractive nnd the shades of brown and gold in the autumn as handsome as tbe leaves of the forest trees during the same season. Plants.are low in price and in three years after setting they will mnke a growth sufficient to corer the side of a building of'con­ siderable size. In 1W17 wheat was very scarce In the country before the harvest of that year, says Orleans Republican. A farmer Irought about «8.<KM) bushels, nearly nil of It from July 28th to Octo ber 20th. and not a single bushel under $2 and from that up to $3.40; most of it coat from $2.10 to $2.25 per bushel They ground from 1.000 to l^OC bushels per day when everything ran all right. They sold Bettis & Bailey sixteen tuirreis of the flour at $10 per barrel for retailing nn>! sold some flour at their Eagle Harbor mill for $18 per barrel. Mr. Tanner fur­ ther says thnt he once paid the late Ini Hanford (lie cannot recall tbe yean $10.00 per IW) pounds for three dressed hogs, nnd lie once paid tbe late Nor­ man Bennett $6.30 per bushel for beans. No wonder farmers nccumulaxed money In those good old days. Provide Against Drought. With a imkaibllity of short pasture Staring him in the face each *year. the farmer with much or little stock who does not provide against the drought so far as he can. makes a ■erlous mistake. Probably way to do this ia in combination the plan which provides for age plants. This can be year by sowing rye in. . mer, sowing successions, which give one green forage for early summer carrying one. with the pasture, nearly or quite to the time when the forage corn may be fled. * Most of the experiment stations who Lave tried it agree with farmers thnt Thoroughbred White Flint corn is one of the best if not the best variety for this punrose, especially if it is put in as early as possible. If sow­ ing is delayed until late, then we be­ lieve tint swget com. sown broadcast will give a crop for early fall feeding better than any other. Among tbe Various suggestions given here, one or more are suited to almost every farm. The sketch, by Max Mack, illus­ trates n very simple nnd good plan for a cross-cut saw when operated by one man.

Acket & Traxler THE SMALLJPOX SCARE. Quite an excitement was kicked up in town this week by the quarantining of tbe Steven* restaurant and bakery. Mis* Morga Welch,, tbe younger daughter of Mr*. Stevens, baa been ill several days with a disease some­ what resembling measles, but which on Sunday wax thought by the at­ tending physician to be small pox. He called in Health Officer Shilling Monday morning and he thought the safe thing to do was to establish a Quarantine, which was immediately one, and Dr. Ranney of the state board of health was summoned by phone. He thought tbe disease was email pox, in a very mild form, and a rigid quarantine has since been maintained. A show troupe which was quartered at the place was given a bath, which aotnA of them needed, and after a thorough disinfecting they were turned out Tuesday morn­ ing and went on tbeir way rejoicing. There are also two cases of the disease two or three miles north of town, one at Joseph Oversmith’s and one at Horatio Hosmer’s, but all of the patieote are able to be 'up and around and are suffering little discomfort. There seems to be some doubt about the disease really being small pox, but If it is it is in a very mild form and not to be feared. What little excitement was caused by the affair has died out and business Is going on the same a* usual, but at the same time for safety’s sake a close quaran­ tine will be kept until all danger of coptagion is past. Nearly every town in the state has had the same scare during the past two years, and Nashville, we suppose, had to have her turn, but it 1* to be hoped that it will soon be over. Anyway, there is nothing to be scared about, for the diseases whatever it Is, bears little or no'resemblance to the old-fashioned small pox. and is far less to be feared than an outbreak of measles or scarlet fever. • DON’T WORRY about the children on the great Fourth.

The reception given by tbe Nash­ ville Club at the Club rooms on Thurs­ day evening was a decided success, the rooms being thronged throughout tbe evening by the guests who availed themselves of the opportunity to in­ spect the handsome new rooms of tbe club. Walrath’s orchestra dispensed excellent music throughout the even­ ing, and light refreshments were served in the spacious billiard hall of the club. The reception proper lasted un­ til half past ten at which time the or­ chestra was transferred to the opera house, where those of the club and its guests who cared to dance put in a couple of hours more. Nothing but good words for tbe club and good wishes for its success were heard and all predicted that it would be recog­ nized as one of the social institutions of tbe village. , The storm of Friday afternoon caus­ ed considerable damage in and around Nashville, principally to the south and east.

Tbe three made up a formid­ able aggregation of warships, combin­ ing as they did speed, greater armor­ ed protection than any except flrstciaaa battleships, and large battesies of medium size guns. The three big ships crept out of Vla­ divostok, presumably at night, when they would be less liable to observa­ tion. By dawn they were 100 miles out to sea and beading south for tbe Korean straits, which all Japanese ships carrying stores for the armies In the\fleld must cross.

Of tbe 1.400 Japanese soldiers on the two transports 900 were killed. Their raid having been successful, the Russians decided to return home again, but they evidently did not wish to risk the straight passage from Ko­ rean straits to Vladivostok, choosing Instead to make an easterly detour along the coast line of Nippon.

With the ap­ pearance of tbe huge crayon of the President there went up from tbe main floor a vocal roar that perhaps was never equaled In a political gathering. New York led the demonstration. The seventy-eight delegatee from Roosevelt's native State started tbe hurrahing, but soon they were mere specks in tbe panorama of fluttering flags and clamoring clans. Leaping to tbeir chairs the New-Yorkers sent up a mighty shout and flung their silk flags to tbe breeze. It was the signal for an outburst. Tbe band had be­ gun to play at the outset, but Its strains were drowned out Human lungs completely squelched the instru­ ments of brass. Bedlam seemed to have broken loose In the great Colise­ um.

Then came the pro­ cession of States.. Delegates wrenched their State standards from tbe floor and paraded up and down tbe able* cheering, singing and pounding the floor with their staffs. Senator Cullom even joined tbe wiki march. Alaska's totem poles marched in crazy lines after New York’s banners. It was tbe climax of the Republican convention of 1904. The demonstration lasted fully twenty minute*. The nomination for the Vice Presi­ dency followed tbe Presidential nomi­ nation. Senator Jonathan P. Dolllrer of Iowa placed Senator Fairbanks tn nomination. He was followed In sec­ onding speeches by Senator Penrose of Pennsylvania, Senator Depew of NewYork, Senator Foraker of Ohio and former Senator Thomas Carter of Mon- At the conclusion of Mr. Root's speech the selections of the national committee for temporary officers of the convention were approved on motion of Senator Dick, of Ohio. Tbe roll call of States then was call­ ed for members of the various com­ mittees, the convention approving the action of tbe national committee in seating delegates from Porto Rico and the Philippines, who will have the right to vote upon all questions. WEDNESDAY'S SESSION. Temporary Chairman Ellhu Root callod the Republican National contion to order in the Chicago Coliseum for the second day’s session at 12:30 o’clock. Tbe noise and confusion at the moment were great and quiet was secured with difficulty. After prayer by Rev. Thomas E. Cox. the chairman called for the reports of committees, beginning with that of the committee or. credentials. Senator McComas, of Maryland, rose with tbe report and was called to the platform, where be read the document and made some ex­ planatory remarks upon the Wisconsin decision, unseating the La Follette fac­ tion. “Uncle Joe" Cannon was made per­ manent chairman of tbe convention and given a gavel which he eould use as a weapon to “shoo" away talk of the vice presidential nomination. Mr. Cannon prefaced his speech with some humorous remarks, causing gen­ eral laughter, and closed with praise of President Roosevelt and a tribute to the late Senator Hanna. Members of tbe committee on reso­ lutions brought their report Into the convention, Immediately after Speaker Cannon had taken the gavel with the announcement that it had been agreed upon In harmony.

On land there was a considerable battle, which began In the neighbor bood of Vafangow, on the railroad, sixty miles north of Klnchou and Nanshan hill. On the afternoon of Tuesday. June 14, at 1:40 o'clock, tbe fighting began and continued until dark; tbe Japanese pushing the Rus­ sians 6ack for some miles. After the cessation of tiring, under cover of dark­ ness, a Japanese column occupied Fuchau, flanking the Russian right In tbe morning the fighting started •gain. The Russian general. Baron btackclberg, tried to turn the Japa­ nese right flank, but at tbe same time the brigade which had been sent to Fucbau during tire night struck him on his right and crumpled him up. At the sajrie time tbe main Japanese body, marching up the railroad, struck him In the center, and he was forced to retreat to the northward. The Japa­ nese captured fourteen quick firing guns and 300 prisoners. Tbe total Russian losses are about 2,000. while the Japs acknowledge only 1.000 casu­ alties. As st the crossing of the Yaiu and Nanshan bin. the fate of the day was largely determined by tbe won­ derful Japanese artillery practice. In tbe Vafangow engagement the num­ bers engaged were about 85,000 Rus­ sians and 40,000 or 45,000 Japanese. Tbe Japs engaged in this fight were not a part of General Oku’s second army, which is concentrated around Port Arthur, but were attached to General Nodxu’s third army, which landed some while ago at Takushan. When Stackelberg pushed south, men­ acing Oku's'rear, Nodzu moved west­ erly from Takushan and struck Stackelbcrg in the flank, rolling him north* ward. _________________ Chicago—Cattle, common to prime, $3.00 to $0.15; hogs, shipping grades, >4.00 to $5.42; sheep, fair to choice. $2.75 to $5.00; wheat.

Of "the fourteen great Irrigation pro­ jects, for which the secretary of tbe interior recently set apart $27,000,000 of the reclamation fund, seven will, according to the estimates of the en­ gineers In charge of tbe work, reclaim 1.103,000 acres of land, at a total cost of $12,55(^00^ an average of $11.37 per acre. When the immense Increase in tbe value of the land effected by irri­ gation Is considered, the cost Is by no means great, much similar land selling at $40 and upwards per acre. Agriculturists ip the East are al­ ready beginning to wonder what will <>e the effect, on tbe farming industry •of that section of the reclamation of the vast acreage which it is expected to render fertile by irrigation.

The testimony on the value of skim milk for bogs, as a food, is convincing. Comparisons- are maiie with like ex­ periments of the Wisconsin, Colorado and New Hampshire Experiment Stutions. Hogs, when fed milk and graLi. require much less matter to make a pound of gain than bogs fed on milk alone. Tbe average of tbe Utah ex­ periments showed 100 pounds of milk to be equal to about 24 pounds -pf grain. In the Colorado experiment the hogs fed on milk and grain, gained more than twice ns much per day and required but little more than half as much matter to each pound* of grain m did the bogs fed. on grain alone, Not only did the bogs fed on milk and grain, gain more rapidly, but they grew larger and were in much better condition. The experiments show qopcluslvely the great value of skim mhk when fed In combination with grain M contrasted with feeding grain alone. Dry sawdust makes a good bedding for the stables. Always skim sweet milk; never let cream thicken. Don’t compel the work teams to drink warm water. Cultivating corn and potatoes "early" means before they are up.

She only hinted to her husband that things were perhaps taking a good turn—a hint that .kept him a little sober, and on his best behavior; hut when the second letter came, with one from Mr. Royston's stew- and. with great hopes, they packed the furniture. go»e up the key of the house and started for Devonshire.

"It is she." he says presently. “No. it Is too tall for my dariing*. Shall I never see her? Why does she not come to me—-why not?" he whispers; fiien he shivers, and cries out softly; nnd there he will wait until the last light disappears, nnd the house is in darkuesa;-then he will go to his straw in a loft, forgetting hunger, and rags, aud wretchedness, in gentle thoughts of her who is making ready fpr her soft, luxurious couch, with no feeling for him In her heart, but one of dread and averaion. . • .

"and this keeps the eyes turned in. An object twenty feet away will make the eyeballs parallel.

It has been decided that the ’end seat” man who does cot move along when a new passenger boarda the car is a "hog.” Another point retains to be determined. In rainy weather each seat of the open car has ohe dry sitting—in tbe middle. Should the passenger who arrives first and pre­ empts that dry sitting move along into tbe wet when tbe seat fills? Is the first arrival who refuses to move along a “middle-seat hog," or is he ■exercising an ethical right to alt in a dry spot—a right founded upon pri­ ority and defensible under the rules of reason and equity? Having pre­ empted the dry seat, or having dried and* wanned a seat, should tb'j pas­ senger slide into the damp when new passengers push In? The question is a fine subject for debate. Its im­ portance is not slight. Soon or late the emergency confronts everybody, and a rule of conduct in such case should be established.—Elmira Gazette. A Saving Child.

THE A. W. VAN BVSTERVELD MEDICINE COMPANY IS GAIN­ ING A NATIONAL REPUTATION. The A. W. Van Bysteryeld Medi* cine Company, of which A. W. Van Bysterveld is at the head, is already treating patients in nearly every state in the union. Hundreds of bottles of medicine is being shipped daily from the dispensary in Grand Raplde to suffering humanity. “The Wonder Doctor’’ Van Bysterveld being given this title by his Grand Rapids admirers, says that be can furnish the names of hundreds of patients who have been cured through his company, of chronic dis­ eases after some of the best doctors in this country had failed- The doc­ tor says be will be pleased to furnish these names and addresses io any one wishing them. The 'Medicine Com­ pany makes diagnosis entirely from an examination of the urine. The urine is put to various tests and by the aid of powerfur drugs and micro­ scopes the germs which indicate the disease is made to appear. “The Wonder Doctor’’ comes from Holland and has been in this country for two years. He spent upwards of twenty years in the old country in the drug business and as chemist. It is said he is tbe possessor of drugs and com­ pounds which are known only to him­ self and for which he has been offered ! large sums of money. The system by which the medicine company treats is as follows: The patient sends a small bottle of urine, and from this urine the disease or ail­ ment from which the patient is suffer­ ing is arrivled at in tbe manner above explained. Medicine is then sent to the patient with full instructions and they are also informed of their ail­ ment and whether or not a cure can OB made. For this 81*25 is charged, which should be sent with tbe urine. AU diseases are treated; if the dis­ ease is incurable you are so informed. Address communications and send urine to A. W.

For some time tbe Japanese •have been endeavoring to convey the im­ ■ pression that Kuroki Intends to swing around to the north. Therefore It is prolatble that he never at any time entertained such an intention. JOIN FOR BIG FIQHT. - Kuroki und Oku Ready to Spring at Kuropatkin’s Throat. Lieut C-en. Sakharoff's dispatch con­ firms the belief that the great decisive battle of the campaign between Gen. Kun.patklk’s main army and ths- armies of Gras. Kuroki and Oku Is imminent. Th* three armies probably aggregate 800.000 men and their, outposts an* in touch nil along the line. Tbe Jhpam-He evidently & jrusaxr’s' JBSnO' S qkux jssttk nozxws hstfy tried to draw Kuropatkin aa far south as possible, holding out as an incentive army. Meantime Oku iwunr sharply to the eastward to join Kuroki toward the Chapan pass, Kuroki at the same time moving a strong force by the right flank toward Halgheug. The main Japanese advance continues along the main Feng-Wang-Cheng-LiaoYang road, avoiding the Mao-Tien pass by a detour to the northward. The ad­ vance in all points is being attended by constant skirmishing. Nothing is known ot the exact point at which Kuropatkin's main force is concentrated, though it is believed that a large part of tbe LiaoTang form has been moved to a point between Kin-Cfcau and Ta-Tcbe-Kiao. According to a dispatch from Ta-TcheKiao t large force had pushed southward from that place against Oku. While Ku­ ropatkin is thus ex leading himself, tho Japanese, with great mobility, seem to be trying to concentrate for the purpose of striking the Russians in the flank and Silas C. Swallow,.the “fighting parsou" of Pennsylvania, is tbe nominee of tbe Prohibitionists for ITesldent of the United States. He was nominated by acclamation amid scenes of enthusUam at 4» o'clock Thursday after­ noon. Hix running mate on the ticket is George W.

Miles. . , . Joseph P. Tracy, of Chicago, choirman of the Resolutions Committee, re­ ported the platform at 2:15 o'clock. A minority report had been’ threatened, but the Insertion of the planks about uniform laws, tariff revision, eqnal suf­ frage and election of United State# Senators by .the people brought a unanimous report, nnd the platform was adopted by the convention with long-continued cheering, tbe waving of flags, in which ••Cyclone" Davis, ot Texas. wa« prominent, and singing o.'

At the morning session $11,000 in cash and pledges was raised for the campaign fund. A mass meeting in Tomlinson Hall Thursday night closed tbe gathering. WEDNESDAYS 8E881ON. Enthusiasm and ea rifts tness charac­ terized tbe opening of the Prohibition national convention, which was called to order in Tomlinson Hall, this city, at 10:13 o’clock Wednesday. More than 1,000 delegates vigorously ap­ plauded prohibition's sentiments. The galleries were packed to tbetr capacity. 'Hie hall won decorated profusely with flags and buntlag. while over tbe chair­ man’s stand hung pictures of Abraham Lincoln and Frances Willard. Quota­ tions from Lincoln's speeches also were prominent Most of the delegates carried small flags, which they waved at slight provocation. At noon the con­ Xt is reported that Edward F.

The wood was taken from a part of a black walnut board, two feet wide and an inch and a half thick which served as a part of the flooring in a secret closet in the home of Lev! Coffin, of Fountain City, Ind., which was kuown as the “union station” ot tbe underground - railroad previous tc the Civil War. In tbe spring of 1844 Eliza, of “Uncle Tom’s Cabin fame.’ was hidden away In this secret-closet for two weeks by Mr. Coffin. Chairman Castle attacked both na­ tional parties on the issues of the day. He attacked tbe Republicans for toler­ ating polygamy in-Utah, and aald the Senate delayed action on the Smoot case for political purposes. He said neither great party waa capable of dealing with problems like the liquor question. He attacked tbe policy ot Imperialism, and said one of tbe ques tlons of the -century was “How to' lei go of the Philippines with honor." He referred to President Roosevelt ns "thl hero of bloodless Ran Juan." and said he bad forced a man to take the posi­ tion of chairman of the national com­ mittee.

HL. and Jacob H. Plain, cashier, has been arrested charged on bis own confession with having taken the money. Three years’ reckless speculation carried on with. tbe bank’s funds whlle he was known In Aurora society sod business circles as "Honest Jacob" is given as the cause of Plain’s downfall. Confront­ ed with the facts of his defalcation, the cashier admitted it promptly, turn­ ing over what property he had nnd telling in detail in w£at deals be bad lost Notice of the embezzlement posted od the bank door at first was not be­ lieved. Plain's reputation induced bank patrons to consider the notice a joke. When crowds later surrounded the bank, the officials prepared to meer a "run.” After announcing tbe em­ bezzlement tbe notice read: "Thirty thousand dollars of tbe to­ tal embezzlement by Plain has been made dp by John Plain, his father, and M. E. Plain, bls brother. Eight thous­ and dollars has been turned over by the defaulter himself. The balance of the $90,025 loss has been charged off from the surplus nndundivided profits, leaving the entire $100,000 capital stock ot the bank unimpaired." “Yes, I took the money. If I were to live my life over again I would shun speculation as I would fire. I was ruined as thousands of others have been ruined, without an evil thought in the world.’* This Is part of Plain's concession af­ ter he had been arrested. First sus­ picion of the embezzlement was aroused five weeks ago, although for three years Plain by a system of re­ coding fictitious notes, or notes that had been paid but not destroyed; by in­ cluding in tbe .bank's assets bonds owned by depositors nnd by manipu­ lating the 'adding machine at the bi­ ennial examination of his accounts had been systematically robbing tbo bank. * He was under flO.OUO bond and is the son of the bank’s president Since May 24. when tbe defalcation was dis­ covered, bank officials have been busy straightening out tbe accounts. That day Examiner C. H. Boswoyth visited the bank. After footing up a column of figures Mr. Bosworth turned to Plain and said; "Jacob, there’s some­ thing wrong here." Plain, pretending first not to under­ stand, finally admitted the crooked­ ness. “There’s $40,000 abort here, and maybe more." said Plain. Then he showed where $22,025 more was miss­ ing. Finally by his own directions it was figured out .that he was $9o,025 short. Directors held a hurried meet­ ing, at which the father of the cashier begged that his son be spared dis­ grace. M. E.

Quick, eldest child and only daughter of Fred and Eva Quick, was born in the town of Maple Grove, Barry ^county, Mich., June 20, 1878, and died at her home in Bellevue township on her twenty-sixth birthday. Her childhood days were speu t with her parents in the town of her birth. At the age of fifteen she moved with her parents and brothers to Bellevue an'd on Sept 14, 18lri she was married to Floyd O. Gntnaian, who with tier parents, two brothers, sister-in-law and little niece, besides many other near relative! and friends, all to whom she was so dear, are left to mourn for ouc whose place can not be tilled Hen was a bright and happy home and here sbe and her devoted busband worked together, looking forward to still happier days aud when on'June 15. 1904, a little son came to gladden tbqlr home their happiness seemed complete, but death soon claimed it and loving hands bore it away, only too soon to be followed by the precious mother. Sbe was ever a kind and loving wife and daughter, ready to do some kina act or speak a cheering word to comfort the sad and even in her last moments, when life was fast ebbing away, ber thoughts were all of those she was going to leave behind and sbe said. •Oh let me live to comfort mother." Her sickness was short, her suffering great, but sbe bore it patiently, with a smile for all who camo to see her. All that kind hearts and loving hands could do waa done for ber in her last day*, but the angels took her to her home beyond where sbe will know no more pain, and as we return to our once happy homes, with our hearts so nearly broken, we. can only say, "Oh God, Thy will, not mine be done."

BULLET CLOSES LIFE OF YOUNG cracksman: American and Brit­ ish ministers, ou be- Strangled in Mississippi Hi ver Thomas Barry, expert cracksman, died at tbe Englewood Union hospital, Chi­ cago. His mother was sitting by his bedside, with his disfigured right hand held in both of hers, wheu his short but •poctacular criminal -career was brought to a- close. Although but 26 years old at the time of his death. "Tommie" Bar­ ry made a name for himself that will live in the criminal aunals of Chicago. He was ever tbe foe of the.police aud in the last twenty-six hours of his life he defied all efforts made by Inspector Hunt to secure from him Information whirii -would lead to the nrrest of bis -two com­ panions, who made their escape from the Grand Crossing police the previous morning. It was a bullet from the re­ volver of Policeman John Vaughan of the Grand Crossing station that sent Barry to his death. It wns fired in a running fight with Policemen Vaughan and Downey, who were pursuing Barry and James Collins. Frank Ely, alias James Denning, had been arrested but a short time before by Sergt. Donovan. Both • Barry and Ely bad safe-blowing materials In their pockets when captur­ ed. ’Ifce first crime Barry committed -was the burglarizing of a West Side drug ■tore.

All along both governments have promptly rejected the suggestion that they guarantee immunity, which not only Rafeuli but the Morocco government put forward, the letter foreseeing the awk­ ward position the Sultan would be plac­ ed in if punishment were demanded. The situation differs extraordinarily from that which usually follows such an act of brigandage. Raisull W now a prominent government official, bolding what in the present lawless condition of Morocco amounts to absolute sovereignty over the numerous provinces by tho war­ like hlltemen. There is little douht that the Sultan, with an easy conscience, will break his promises and revoke the patents of gov­ ernorship granted to Raisull nud replace the robber with another governor. Should the hillsmen decide that Ralsuli has been badly treated they will resist the appoint­ ment of a new governor and, aided by tho tremendous prestige of the exploit given him,. Raisull, with the desperation of a doomed man, will hold the provinces st the point of the rifle. Should the Fes government refuse the demand of Great Britain and the United States tho action will be an affront io the powers and the outcome is obvious.

A plan for doing thi,s Is shown in the illustration. A gate is made of proper material reaching from tbe manger to tbe end of the stall. The post of this gate at the end is. made about a foot longer than the lower rail und a bole is made lu tho floor through which this post la slipped when put In position and thus makes the gate or fence firm. At tbe manger­ end tbe fence is fastened to the man­ ger by a pair of gate hinges. Two stiff sticks are fastened to th«» Joist above with u bolt, one over tho manger-end and one over the other end. In'the lower end of each of these sticks a notch is cut which comes over a staple on tbe fence and bolds it, the fence, flrm.

In growing tomatoes nitrogen in tho soil is tbe least desired of the plant foods ami tiie best results will come from’ phosphoric acid and potash liber.ally applied broadcast. Much has been written regarding the use of nitrate of soda for tomato growing and while this chemical is good, it should l>e used with caution. Its function Is to cause the* plant to make a quick growth: in other words give it a start which will be kept up by the phosphoric grid nnd tho potash. ' This being the case tbe beat way to use it Is to watch the plants closely ns they grow nnd If any shows lack of vigor sprinkle a teaspoonful of the 'nitrate of soda about tbe plant. Us­ ually one application will be sufficient to start such plants off in good shape and once they get a good start there will be no trouble If the soil lias been .properly enrinked and proper cultiva­ tion has t>een carried on. Best Food for Fattening Lambs, Very careful experiments at the On­ tario Agricultural Collude have shown that an even mixture of peas and oats made the most profit in feeding lambs. Pean alone make the most gain. but at a somewhat greater cost of feed. Corn and peas made a slightly smal­ ler gain than tbe other fr-eds. But tbe ulffcrence was so small that the convenience of procuring the feed is the largest element In the case. As peas nnd oats may be grown together very conveniently and cheaply, tills erop secUn’s some advantages over others which may give it a preference ta this regard. Thrifty Melon*. Sow melon* In a light rich soil: poul­ try manure produces rapid growth. If the season la very warm and moist the vines may need to be pinched back to •ecure early fruiting. Musk-melons re­ quire a season of about three and onehalf months and watermelon* about four and one-half months, hence the crop is rather uncertain ta this lati­ tude. The crop is made more sure If seeds are first started ta a hotbed and transplanted when they begin to run to vine. Six Days Enoagh. I have been observing things for many years and I never knew a man to prosper who habitually worked on Sunday. Some men will spend a day or two in town during the week and then they will feel that they are so far behind that they must plant corn on Sunday to catch up. The man who seta a dollar by fraud will lose it-and another with It. The man who gains by laboring on Sunday may make the temporary worldly gains,*4ut will lose that which Is Infinitely more valuable to him than all of -this world's goods. —Cor. Iowa Homestead. .

All the blood in your body paste* through your kidneys once every three minute*. 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 from 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, because 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. Ifyou are sick you can make no mistake by first doctoring your kidneys. The mild and the extraordinary effect of Dr..Kilmer's Swamp-Root, thagnat kidney remedy U soon realized. It stands the highest for its wonderful cures of the most distressing cases and is sold on its merits by all druggists In flftyccnt and ono-dollar siz­ es. You may have a sample bottle by mail free, also pamphlet telling you how to find out if you have kidney or bladder trouble. Mention this paper when writing Dr. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y.

Early on the morning of Tuesday the Norge, -which was out of her course in heavy weather, ran on to the Rockail reef, which in the dis­ tance looks like a ship under full sail. The Norge was quickly backed off. but the heavy seas poured in through rent in ber bows. The boats kept together for some hours. Practically all of their occu­ pant* were passengers and were not used to handling such craft Tbe boat occupied by the survivors landed at Grimsby was a lifeboat One account says that three boats were successfully launched, the other two bolding about ten persons each. Tbe lifeboat made faster progress and fell In with the Salvia. The rescue of those on the lifeboat took place at 8 c clock on the morning of Wednesday, tbe survivors consisting of twenty men, one of them a seaman, six wom­ en ar.d a girl. One of the survivors said that when be got om deck the Norge was half submerged and was rapidly- getting lower In the-water. Half mad with fright, the snrvlvox* all struggled for places In the boats.

Then, after-firing 200 shell* Into the town, they sailed out to rejoin the cruisers. Their entire visit lasted an hour and fifty minutes.

In the sea by this time was a mass of strnggltog men, women and chil­ dren, gasping an<} choking from the effects of the water. The boat rowed clear of this seething inferno, and just a* she drew away the Norge went down. * Survivors of the disaster now are known to number 128, 102 having been picked up by English and German ves­ sels from lifeboats In which they were ndrift on the ocean.

Tbe Norge quickly began to go down by the bead. Eight boats were lowered, aud into these the women and children were hurriedly put Six of these boats smashed against the side of the Norge and their helpless inmates were caught up by the heavy seas. Two boat loads got safely away from the side of the sinking ship and many of the emigrants who were left on board, seising life belts, threw themselves into the sea and were drowned. Tbe Norge foundered suddenly and some 600 terrified emigrant* were thrown into the water or drawn down with the sinking ship. Those who could swim tried to reach the boats, but these were already too full and their occupant* beat off the drowning wretches with oars.

When the locomotive struck the switch the fearful force of the con­ tact threw It off the track and it plowed into tbe earth beside the rail*, dragging with it on its course the bag­ gage. express and five passenger cars, all well filled with passengers. The observation car and a private car re­ mained on the track and their occu­ pants were uninjured. The ditched cars caught fire Immediately after the wreck, the flames Increasing tbe fatal­ ities and adding to the sufferings of the Injured. Tbe moment the train' left the rails seven cars, turned on their sides, and flames rushing from the fire box of tbe locomotive burst out all over their whole length, while a full head of boiling steam beat into every crevice of the smashed and splintered mass. It is believed that fully 150 persons were under tbe burning mass. Tbe passengers In the private and obser­ vation cars,- led by the conductor and brakemen, went to tbe rescue, but It was seen that many were already dead and.4,hat a number of others were so fearfully tangled in the wreckage that their speedy death was certain. The wrecked care lay side by side, not telescoped but shivered to splin­ ters. Some of tbe victims, pinned be­ neath the heavy wheel trucks, died the moment the crash came. Dozen* of others remained held fast to their seats, and It was among these that the rescuers were able to do some good. Axes secured on the train were used hurriedly, and in this way a number were saved before the fire reached them. Tbe people wbp had beon in the two leading cars and who were still conscious screamed in terror as they realised that the fire, catching the dry wood and varnish of the cars, was coming closer to then* Some were taken out maimed and Weed­ ing, but most of those on the first car were beyond all hope, and the rescu­ ers saw several of them die within a few feet of them without being able to extend aid. Litchfield residents organized e re­ lief gang as soon as the news of the wreck was known, bnt before they reached the scene, armed with axes, bars and ropes, all those who could be reached already were dead. Word was telegraphed from Litch­ field to Edwardsville and a relief train was at once sent out filled with sur­ geons, nurses and bandages. Its ar­ rival enabled the rescuers to give speedy care to the wounded. The five* of several were saved in this Bt Francis Hospital tn Litchfield was made ready for as many of the wounded os ouuld be accommodated there, and about thirty othera were taken to St Louis late to-night and sent to various city hospitals. b A few feet from the ■ open switch where the locomotive turned out on It* path to death were four freight cars. These were carried down when the engine wheeled out over tbe track* and were flm.c«u^>t by the flame*, which began to spread immediately. Given No Warning The train was an hour late at the time of the accident and was running ten miles faster than it* regular echedule. There were no reversal lights in the track and the run being a clear three mile straight line at this point the engineer had nothing to warn him of his danger. Charles Corneau. station agent, said that the wreck wa* the result of ma­ licious mischief. He said the north track, a* that siding is called, had not been used during the day, and It was plain that , the switch was tampered with. Not fifteen minutes before the accident the third section of passen­ ger No. 18, south bound, ptssed over It safely.

I then de­ cided to try the medicine myself, and -did not use all of one bottle before I was well and I have never since been troubled with that complaint. One cannot sav too much in favor of that wonderful medicine ” This remedy is for sale bv C. H. Crown, Central drug store. MARTIN’S CORNERS. H. Cogswell visited relatives in Jackson the past week.

Chairman Clark called tbe conven­ tion to order Friday morning at 10:48 O'clock. It was apparent that there would be a loqg delay because tbe Committee on Rrimluttons was known to be still wrangling over tbe platform. When It was learned that it might be hours before the .report would be pre­ sented. a stir of rMtiessucss ran over the .great throng. The convention whited patiently for the platform report. To kill time and entertain the great assemblage the bapd played until exhausted, and then. Richmond P. Hobson, of Merrimac, fame, was called to tbe rostrum to make a speech. The feature of ths early hours of tbe day was the knocking out by the committee on resolutions of the gold plauk. which had be4n put In the platform. The exciting contests which marked the session of the committee throughout the nlgjit aud the action on the gold plank wns the talk of the morning hours. ^As the delegates arose their first inquiries were as to what the resolutions committee bad done. W. J. Rryan, they learned, not only ttoDHl eemmntoc, called the Democrat­ ic uatloaal coavi ntiou of 1904 to order at noon .Wedntwdsy. Prayer was offerud by the Rev. John F.

Chairman Josas-JDtrudutetW^ne^temporary chairman of. ■the convention—Congressman John «harp Williams, of Mississippi. As this man. the leader ot tbe Democracy tn the House of Congress. was escort■ed to the platform, tbe uproar was tteafening. He was to sound tbe key­ note of the campaign of 1904. and tbe throng gave him a tremendous ova­ tion. L Then CopgrcMuinn Williams began the address that rounded the first trumpet call of the Democratic cam­ paign of 1004. After attacking Secre­ tary Root's speech aa temporary chair­ man of tbe Republican national con­ vention, Mr. Williams turned bls at­ tention to the Republican platform. Williams' speech dealt with practi•cally ail of the live Issues. He spoke at length on the money question, •avoiding all pitfalls by attacking tbe ^Republican claim to full credit for all •financial policies. He laid the blame for the panic of 1893 at the door of <be Republican party and also for the CHAIRMAN WILLIAMS SAID.

COLISEUM WUEKE THE CONVENTION MET. in his address. Mr. Williams declared that it was brazen effrontery for the Republican party to attempt to seize the laurels of Grover Cleveland. An outburst, of applause followed. Cheer after cheer rolled through the hall, •nd although the chairman used the gavel vigorously tbe convention was •oon beyond bls control. New Hamp­ shire delegates climbed upon their seats and yelled • vigorously. One member of the Iowa delegation stood up and waved his. hat frantically and a Wild chorus answered him. “Three cheers for Grover Cleveland!" sbout- ed an Alabama delegate, and they ■camo with genuine power and on­ Tbe 1.060 delegates in the big con­ tention hail were backed by an equal •-number of alternates. Nearly all the diving leaders of tbe party, past and ^present. were there. Around them, over them and mingling with them Tbe big ball filled slowly previous to the call to order. The hali lost tbe appearance of Immensity to a large ex­ tent because of the great butt canopy that bid the roof from view. Illinois. New York. Pennsylvania and Michi­ gan were best favored in positions. New .York. Pennsylvania and Michigan are directly In front of tbe chairman ond Illinois was a little to tbe left of tbe chairman as be faced them and only six rows back. Massachusetts fared the worst of any of tbe great States, being In the last row. with Oklahoma. Directly opposite the platform and in the rear of the delegates w^s a stand where a band of thirty pieces played throughout tbe convention, All­ ing in the gaps with stirring music. Tbe platform and band stand were dec­ orated in harmony with the whole scheme, the nation's emblem predomi­ nating. The Democratic Committee on Per­ manent Organization selected Senator BaDey of Texas, according to the pre­ arranged plan, to be permanent chair­ man of the convention, but after be­ ing waited,on twice Bailey refused to act in order that be might have an opportunity to speak on tbe floor, it was said. A peculiar condition bobbed up with regard to Senator Bailey. Wednesday afternoon be agreed to ac­ cept the chairmanship if it was ten­ dered to him. When the vote was taken in tbe evening session of the committee, ^however, it was found that be had only a majority of one on tbe committee, securing eighteen to seventeen cast for Champ Clark, tloned and who had thought so little about tbe matter that he bad retired to his rooms for the night When Senator Bailey saw the narrow mar­ gin between the' votes he declined positively to accept tbe place, and said be would be obliged to tbe friend* who had voted for him if they would make tbe choice of Clark unaulCliamp Clark of Missouri was named as second choice. , Tburoday. Tbe mornlug session of the Demouationai convention Thursday lasted less than au hour. There was a delay in calling it to order, and at 11 o'clock It became necessary to take a recess until 2 o'clock to await reports from the committees on permanent or­ ganization and credentials. The com­ mittee on permanent organization met at once and elected Representative Champ Chirk as permanent chairman. The choice was unanimous. Tbe real cause for tbe delay was the time need­ ed to prepare tbe report of the com­ mittee on credentials. This committee dis(>osed of the last contest at an effrly hour in tife morning, but was unable to have its report ready for the convention. Chairman Williams was given a round of applause when he appeared. As soon as he had produced quiet In the hall by the use of hta gavel be In­ troduced Archbishop John J. Glennon, of St Louis, who delivered the Invo­ cation. The first business was the presenta­ tion and adoption of tbe report from the committee on rules. Thomas J. Grady of the committee on rules and order of business made bls report and a fierce fight on admitting delegates from the Philippines was precipitated. Tbe committee recommended en amendment of the rules to provide for tbe seating of delegates from Porto Rico. An amendment was offered to include the Philippines. Senator Jerry South of Arkansas interrupted at this point with an expressed desire to speak to the question and accordingly took the platform. He declared that it had never been n part of Democrat­ ic doctrine to consider tbe Insular pos­ sessions as part of tbe United States aud be was opposed to such action. Arguing for-the adoption of the re­ port Mr. Grady said the national com­ mittee had decided to Include Porto Rico in the call of the convention. The committee had to consider the ques­ tion as to whether these delegates had the right to vote. The Supreme Court of tbe United States had decid­ ed that Porto Rico was a part of the territory of the Un|ted States. The same court had decided that the Phil­ ippines was not a part of the United States. Tbe committee bad followed this court and had given Porto Rico votes and withheld those from the Phii ilnea. The report of the committee on rules was adopted. This left in Porto Rico and shut oat the Philippines. Tbe committee ou credentials an­ nounced it would not be ready to re­ port until afternoon, and the couven- Cocctnittee on Resolutions Knocks'Ont the Proposed Gold Plank.

Under the census of 1900 there lias been an Increase of 29 in tbe electoral vote, bringing up the total number to 47G, requiring 239 for an ejection. Tbe Bryan demonstration inaugur­ ated Thursday afternoon's session and transformed the Interior of the Coli­ seum Into a seething mass' of shriek­ ing, perspiring humanity. Then came the fight over tbe mlriority report of the Committee ‘on Credentials, and Bryan, who led the debate, gave the galleries another chance to shout them­ selves hoarse. It was not until late that Chairman Head, of the Committee on Creden­ tials, was able to read the majority re­ port. It seated all the delegates from States and Territories where no con­ tests had-been filed. Tbe Hopkins del­ egation from Illinois was seated by a vote of <J47 to 209. after a scathing ar­ raignment by- William J. Bryan In which the terms “train robbers” and "highwaymen" wore used. The Ne­ braskan was loudly cheered and all who tried to defend the cause of the contested* were hissed by tbe crowd. The mention of the name of Champ Clark as permanent chairman was re­ ceived with applause and the report was unanimously adopted. Chairman Williams appointed Senator J. W. Bail­ ey and Representative Bourke Oockran of New York to escort Mr. Clark to the chair. With his bat in his hand Temporary Chairman Williams . _presented Mr. Clark as permanent chair­ man. and as Mr. Clark bowed in ac­ knowledgment be was heartily wel­ comed. ' Mr. Clark at once plunged Into hia speech. It was evident from the be­ ginning, however, that the convention was in no mood for more oratory. Tbe galleries began to empty rapidly. Tbe confusion waa so great that, after ■peaking a few minutes, Mr. Clark gave It up.

Again the Democracy, after twelve years, nominated its standard bearer in the late hours of the morning, and the other circumstances surrounding the nomination of Alton B. Parker, as well as the physical environment, were much' the satfie as those on the wild night of 1892. The convention adopted without dis­ sent a platform of which not 5 per cent of the whole convention beard a single paragraph read. All that the delegates and the crowd heard with any distinctness was the declaration of Senator Daniel, of Virginia, who road the creed that had kept the commit­ tee on resolutions out of bed for a straight thirty-six hours, that the plat­ form had the unanimous support of the committee. There were two big demonstretiona in connection with the event that bad been in all minds since tbe opening day of the convention. One of them followed the speech of Martin W. Lit­ tleton. of New York, presenting to tho convention the name of Judge Alton B. Parker, of the Empire State Supreme Court, and the other followed th® speech of D. M. Deimos. of California, placing in nomination William Ran­ dolph Hearst. A convention hall like an oven could not diminish the Lntereat of the thou­ sands of men -ind women. Women— hundreds of them—-stood for hours among persons of all typos whom they knew not The ball was suffocating, but no one thought of moving until the big event bad been brought to Ito After the nomination of Parker tba convention adjourned until 2 o'clock Saturday afternoon. The Parker and Heunst nominating speeches came early in the long night's session. and while they furnished tho wild excitement, it remained for the name by Champ'Clark at nearly 2 o'clock In the morning to bring about the prrttlMK spectacle of a wonderful convention session.

There ta a deal of coyote hunting in -the West that is not attended by the niceties of the club bunt. Ever since the first pioneers pushed their way across the great plains the coyote has been an outlaw, looking for no mercy nt tbe hand of man. His predatory habits have made the animal the ban* of tbe rauclxqinn. nnd bls bowl has made bixn the cxdsperatloo of the camper and the-terror ot tbe tender­ foot. Then, too, bls- habit of skulking just within rifle range has always made him. a tantalizing target for the uxifti with tbe rifle. In spite of his unpopularity with al! classes of men. however, the coyote has managed to hold his own better titan any other animal in the great West The antelope 1s swifter of foot, may­ hap. but^ Dot having the cunning of tbe coyote, has been lured within rifle range until practically exterminated in many States. The ranchman’s lust for fresh neat, the eastern tourist's desire for antlers and elk teeth, and the na­ tive who slays for tbe market have de­ populated Colorado nnd several other States of tbelr best game.

Tho following from the Orange Judd Farmer of July 2, is ot great impor­ tance to our farmer readers: The customary methods of saving seed corn, as practised from time im­ memorial by the farmers has proved to be inadequate this year to preserve the vitality of tbe germ in the kernel against the rigors of the past unprece­ dented cold winter. Last fall the weather conditions were such that the ears of corn contained an unusual amount of moisture, and any seed corn that was not gathered early and quickly fire-dried before the extreme cold weather sat in, lost its vitality through freezing. A dearth in seed corn waa prophesied ahd farmers were admonished to lay in a supply yet it was not until planting time drew near that faimers generally realized the significance of the warnings. Thou­ sands of bushels of seed corn were shipped into Michigan from Illinois, Iowa and Wisconsin, and very quick-: ly snapped up by the farmers atprioes ranging from 42 50 to 44 per bushel. Reports were rife among farmers that several teste had shown that a -wlisfatory percentage of it would germfaate, and so it was extensively planted. Now, the very Imperfect -stand-shows that ^although the small, •Imperfect kernels might have sufficient •vitality to sprout, yet they could not send forth a blade of ooro—at least a strong, healthy one. Fully thirty per cent failed to grow, and those who had seed have replanted, others plant• ed beans. The lesson will prove an expensive one, but in the-eod will no doubt re­ salt benMioIally. The great majority • of the’farmors habitually select their • seed if rest Che crib at pls ntlng time, a practice that cannot be too severely usual degree In tbe case of The cen­ tral National Bank ot Battle Creek. A man in a western town hanged himself to a bedpost by bis .suspendera. The coroner’s iur.y was some time in coming to a decision in tbe case, but the foreman finally announc­ ed that the deceased came to bls death by coming home drunk and mistaking himself for his panto. Work at the new depot has pro­ gressed rapidly the past week. The paving has been completed, and tbe water pipes at the depot have, all been finished. Grading around the depot has been going on rapidly and ground for the stock yards la nearly com­ pleted. . It Is said that about 150 farmers near Grand Ledge are up in arms over an increase of rates that has been put into effect by the Michigan State Telephone Co., which has a large fiatronage on Ito Grand Ledge rural Ines. They are endeavoring to make terras with the Citizens Co. According to one correspondent, the Japanese soldier has muscles like whipcord, is a sure shot, has au eye for landmarks and a memory for lo­ cality. He can do with three hours* sleep out of the twenty-four, is clean, attends to sanitary instructions and Is ardently patriotic. He costa the state about nine cento a day and thinks himself well off. From the common school of the country district to the highest univer­ sity in the land, the fundamental idea of American education is to make* American citizens. There is no thought of making soldiers or officeholders or merchants or traders or investors; make citizens first, then let each young American choose for himself the line of life he deems best suited to his capacity; be does choose, and that commonly without bias, what he shall be, for your young American has ideas of hie own and is ready Ui aid them, too, on appropriate and eyen sometimes Inappropriate occasions. After all, however, tbe best method of judging of any system of education is in its results, and, without saying a word in disparagement of the -people of any other nation, it may be said that in every essential quality the American citizen has demonstrated by his efficiency In life and action tbe value of bis training. MICHIGAN CROP REPORT. WHEAT. The weather during June was___ fair for wheat. I! it had been warmer and not so dry there might have been a larger growth of straw, but the exist­ ing conditions were favorable for the development of tbe berry. Very little damage has been done by the Hessian fly, and while the actrage and yield per acre will each be small, the quality promises to be good. Tbe average estimated yield is, in tbe southern counties 8, in the central and northern counties 11, and in tbe state 9 bushels, while one year ago the state average was 15 bushels per counties 92, in the central counties 101, in tbe northern counties 96, and in tbe state 94. The condition of beans, compared with an average is, in the southern counties 88, In the central and northern counties 94, and in the couldn't collect their wages, and were turned out to find their way east as well as they could. This sort of thing is not soon forgotten. The few days harvesters would find employment in Kansas would not pay the fare out and people who are well off will stay at home. The following method of getting rid of stumps is recommended by the Scientific American: In the autump bore a hole one or two inches in diam­ eter, according to tbe girth of the stump, vertically in the center of the latter, and about ^eighteen inches deep. Put into it one or two ounces of saltpeter; fill the hole with water and plug up close. In the ensuing spring take out the plug and pour in about one-half gallon of kerosene oil, and ignite it. The stump will smoul­ der away, without blazing, to the very extremities of the roots, leaving nothing but ashes. A recent order from the postoffice department at Washington forbids the giving out of names of patrons on tbe rural routes, and under no circum­ stances must cither the postmasters or carriers allow outsiders to have a list. This will be a cruel blow to depart­ ment .stores of the cities, as these in­ stitutions were getting every farmer's name and going after trade which should go to the local merchants. Gradually the rural mail service Is getting where it should be—the pay­ ing of tbe carriers a living salary, and have them attend to tbe mail business and to nothing else. Tbe rural carrier should be put on the same basis as his city brother, paid well for collecting and delivering the malls and. attend to that duty only.

STRIVING FOR PENNANTS. Henry G. Davis, former DMtod States Senator from West Virginia, was nominated for the Ties presiden­ cy by the Democratic national conven­ tion at 1:10 o'clock Sunday morning. The nomination by a national conven­ tion on Bunday was unprecedented In tbe history of American conventions. There‘were three other candidates. ex­ Bena tor George Turner of Washington, Congressman James’ R. Williams of Illinois and William A. Harris of Kan­ sas. Mr. Davis was just short of elec­ tion on tbe first ballot, but tb* dele gates clambered into bls band wagon at -once and bls nomination wa* made unanimous. At 1:31 a. m. the conven­ tion adjourned, slue die. When tbe convention met at 2:30 Saturday afternoon, after tbe tenbour session of tbe night before, it was expected that It would adjourn by 5 or 6 o'clock with a complete tick­ et. Matters progressed slowly for' an hour, and it soon became apparent that the convention was utterly at sea in tbe vice presidential matter.* Delegates formed in trnali caucuses on tbe floor and suggested candidates by tbe score. Tbe Informal caucusing was little more than gossip, and an adjournment was decided on so that th© leaders might have a chance to survey the list of candidates aud crys­ tallise the scattered .sentiment Mr. Bryan bad retired at 0 a. m., after fifty sleepless hours, and did net come to tile afternoon session. An adjournment was taken soon after 3 o'clock to 5:20. In the mean­ time the leaders had caucused at the Southern and selected Davis.

Four miners, nearly dead from hunger and thirst, were brought into Tonopah, Mo.-, rescued by a party of prospectors, who were led to the dying men by a faithful paclc’honw. . The men wkre brought into camp by Adam fipeocorjdnd George Little, who found them far out on the desert. Little and Spencer were camping near a spring, when a horse, lean, and apparently nearly famished, came galloping into their enmp. They • tried to capture the horse, but the ani­ mal would keep away from them, always going in one direction. At last they de­ cided something was wrong and conclud­ ed to follow the horse. After following the animal several hours\the famished miners were discovered lying behind a sand dune. The men will recover. Dispatches from Russian sources insist that the Japanese were repulsed with great loss at Port Arthur July 10, later reports being that 22.000 islanders and 5.500 Russians fell. Other reports state that the Japanese were defeated July 4 and 5. at Port Arthur, with a lore of 2,000. These stories are discredited in Tokio. The prospective failure of the crops in some of the southern province* of Russia, possibly attendant with famine, and the necessity of adopting relief measures is beginning to attract atten­ tion. The governments of Kherson, Bessarabia, Taurida. Poltava and Kharoff are principally affected. Murderer* Executed in Ohio. Ben and Al Wade were electrocuted just after midnight Thursday in tbe penitentiary in Columbus, Ohio. The ‘ brothers murdered Kate Sullivan in 1900. The execution was not marked by the tortures that have signalised the re­ cent executions, and the chair worked admirably. Searched a Year for Robber. After a year's search for the man who robbed him and attempted to kill him, II. M. Altick. a florist of Dayton.

But when tbe Parker people found that their voting strength lu the convention was such that they could do as they pleased they decided to pick a man of well-known gold lean­ ings. Finally Davis was suggested. His age—lie is 82 years old—was urged against him. but on the other hand It was pointed out that be was extremely wealthy, had a tong and honorable political and official career behind him, and had always been “sound" on the money question. Tbe nominating speeches were made at the afternoon session, >and the con­ vention was up to the roll, call of States when a telegram was received from'Judge Parker stating that he be­ lieved the gold standard was Irrevoca­ bly established, and that If the major­ ity of tbe delegates did not like bls views be would decline the nomina­ tion. Senator Culberson 'bf Teras moved a recess with the remark: "Be­ fore this convention proceeds to nomi­ nate a candidate for Vice President we should ascertain if we have a can­ didate for the presidency." So a re­ cess was taken and the leaders at once gathered In conference. The night session started at 8:30 o'clock. After hours of great excite­ ment among leaders and a sensational debate on tbe floor, the convention offi­ cially assured Judge Parker that there bus been no misunderstanding of hi* views, and that there is no reason why he cannot conscientiously stand upon the platform. It was nearly 1 o’clock Sunday morn­ ing before tbe roll call on the vlca presidency started. Not mure than 1,000 persons outside of the delegates and other* having business In the con­ vention were jiresent The roll call wa* immediately followed by a mo­ tion to make the rote unanimous, and the motion was carried with * whoop. Tbe vote for vice presidential can­ didate* was as follows: Davis 646 Williams .... 166 Turner 92 Harris 58 Tbe motion to make the vote unani­ mous was made by Ohio. Tbe vote for Davis was almost up to the vote on Parker, bis being 658 before any dele­ gate* changed their votes.

It is generally conceded that more corn can be grown on an acre In drills than In bills, but In weedy land the great trouble is to keep drilled corn clean and free from wexls. The great mistake in cultivating drilled corn usually is made at the first working, when shovels of medium size are used and small furrows left close to the rows. We find it no harder to keep drilled corn free from weeds than It is to keep hili corn clean, by­ using the smoothlug harrow across tbe rows just as soon as the corn Is up. In four or five day* u second harrow­ ing may be given and then tbe ct-tivatura be set to work. Avoid leaving any furrow close to the rows, and also be sure not to throw a ridge of earth up to the plants. Keep tbe liuid just as level as possible the firs" two or tl ree workings and then as the plants be­ gin to shade the ground they will do much to smother out weed*. Tbe lator cultivation of any corn is best given by a oue-horse five shovel caitlvutoc Instead of tbe two-borse riding impi& menu a* with the former one can go very shallow and keep at nuy deslreq ■distance from the growing corn.

The losses from bitter rot of apples are seldom appreciated, but the men that bare investigated them declare them to be simply enormous for the entire country. Professor Blair of th* University of Illinois, said last fail that tbe losses from bitter rot In four counties of Illinois had totaled for the past season $1,500,000. This was In tbe four counties of Marion, Clay, Richard and Wayne. Bitter rot 1* a fungous disease and can be controlled to some exteut by spraying. It i* thn<» that apple growers awoke fully to th^ enormous tax they are every year pay­ ing to the fungous diseases that raw age orchards. Could farmers elimi­ nate even this one scourge of bitter rot we would add millions of itollas* to the value of the apple crop. Wafer for the »w(ne.

The sole purpose of finishing a bunch of pigs at au early age is to make them more profitable by saving feet!. It takes a certain amount mere­ ly to keep them, aud the shorter the time they are kept the less this will cost So far It is a simple problem, but there arc other factors which en­ ter in. Tbe pushing process may be the most costly in the end berause it requires the feeding of a large quantity of high-priced grain or mtllstuffs, whereas by utilizing the pas­ tures and tbe woods they may make a cheaper growth aud intimately go to market at lea* cost. It may be *ald that the pasture has value in propor­ tion to the grain. Sometimes it has and sometimes it has not—all de­ pends on what something else could get out of it in the way of gain und consequent cash. The point Is that early maturity iu the sense of market­ ing bogs nt an enrly age is tbe best thing only when It is the cheapest. A man can afford to wait a couple of months to put his pigs on the market if by utilizing pa«tura* or* forage and saving high-priced grain lie can do it cheaper. The cost of marketing a pound of pork and not the time it Jakes to do it is the vital problem. Thinning Peaches Par*. Not every grower appreciate* the importance of thiuning peaches, but there can be no question of the neces­ sity of the practice, if best results are to be secured. Tbe Michigan Experi­ ment Station reports tbe following • concerning this matter: * “A thinning test was started in ilMKi, to last over a period of three yeans. Of one lot. one tree wa* thin­ ned to 8 inches; one was thinned to 4 o^ 5 inches, and one tree wa* left un­ thinned. Of tbe other varieties, one tree was thinned to 8 Inches and one tree left unthlnnrd. It wa* noted nt tbe end of the flrat season’* test that all tree* severely thinned were much thriftier, and their foilage much healthier, nnd did not fall from the tree* a* early In tbe season as on un­ thinned tree*; that peacbe* from the thinned trees sold for nearly doable a* much a* those from unthlnned tree*. Tbe varieties chosen for the teat happened to ripen at a time when there was a good demand, otherwise peaches from unthinned tree* would have been unsalable. From a com­ mercial standpoint tbe benefit from heavy thiuning was very apparent.” Little Profit in Cook in a Feed.

BLENDIIB MB ROISTIM. SELECTMM OF BERRY. It is npt generally known by the Average coffee consumer that these After the coffee berries reach our warehouse they aie carefully tested and blended while still green in the dnee coffees which cannot be ex­ correct proportions to produce that celled by Arabian, Brazilian or Java delicious flavor and aroma which growths. Owing, however, to the different nature of the rich soil, the Coffee grown on these islands pos­ sesses a peculiarly palatable flavor, not to be found in coffee berries Sown elsewhere. It will be noted ’ tbe purchaser of a package of Dudley Coffee that the berry is of Bm unusual shape. The utmost Care is used by our buyers in se­ lecting coffee berries to maintain a taiform quality. have made Dudley's Coffees famous. This blending is a delicate process, for no two lots can be blended in like proportions to produce the same results. After this blending they are aged and cured by our special process, which insures the consumer against harmful effects which follow excessive use of the average brand of coffee. When the berry is properly aged and cured it is ready for roasting. We have perfected a process of roasting which produces remark­ able results and as our coffees have been blended before roasting they flavor perfectly during this proc­ ess. There is a big difference between “Mixers” of coffees and “Blenders” of coffees. Anyone can mix coffees, but blending coffees is an art and a life-long study. The Blender of Dudley’^. Coffees has a national reputation. In fact, he has received his fourth appointment as Inspector of coffees for the United States Government. “It’s all in the Blend.” Z P1CK1RB. After roasti/g, our coffees are thoroughly frrfcd from all dust and impurities Wy special machinery and are thyn subjected to a process no other Coffees ever were. Ev#ry ounce is picked oyer by hand and every berry that is the least of* color or shape is thrown out. IESBLTS. AH Dudley Coffees in the various kinds are put up in one-pound packages, either in cans, cartons or parchment-lined bags. Each of these packages is hermetically sealed.

W. Van Bystervejd, who Is -commonly called “The Wonder Doctor,” is at the head of the com­ pany. He 19 of Holland descent, and has berm in this country for only'two yean.; In those two years though without question more patients have been treated through hl* company than by any two physicians in the United States. “The wonder Doctor” when he first came to this country, -came only for a visit, but his kins­ men on this side Of the Atlantic soon learned that the great specialist, Van Bysterveld of the Hague, was here and from all directions they came to be cured of their aches and pains. Van Bysterveld was associated for a number of yean with Dr. DeHan of the Hague, one of the greatest chem­ ists and oompounders of drugs in the Netherlands. Tbe “Wonder Doctor” Van Bysterveld has followed the drug and medicine business since he was a small boy. It is said that he is the possessor of secret drugs and comKunds, for which he has been offered rge sums of money. ’ With upwards of twenty yean' exwith tbe ablest chemists and physi­ cians “The Wonder Doctor” says bls company Is prepared to treat and cure any, disease that is curable, and that ninety-nine per cent of disease can be cured if properly treated. The medicine company determines tbe disease from which the patient ia suffering entirely by an examination of tbe urine. The urine is put to a careful examination, various tests are made and with the aid of powerful drugs and microscopes the germs which indicate the disease are made to appear. And tbe patient ia told ■ exactly the nature of bis disease, ■awbetber or not it ia curable and if curable the length of time it will take to cure it. The “Wonder Doctor” saya he will be pleased to furnish the names and addresses of hundreds of patients in Michigan and other parts of tbe Unit­ ed states, who have been cured of chronic diseases through hie company after many other doctors had failed. Send a small bottle of your urine with name and address and you will promptly receive full particulars as to the nature of your disease, together with medicine. A charge of 91.25 is made for the same. Mailing boxes for sending urine are sent on request, if desired. Send urine and address communica­ tions to A. W.

A Texas editor hits the right spot when he says: “The sorriest fellow on earth is the fellow who will sit around and c:us his own town.

XXXI CLOUDS OF SHOKE. ' The village council convened jn sulphuric special session lasuMonday S3!TS3tl£ night and Clerk Rasey come out of it quite severely singed. Tbe members present were Greene, Gribbin, Town­ send -and Furniss,.who were called to order by President Lentz. The first thing on the docket was a petition from residents of the south side ask­ ing for three street lights to be placed along tbe street west of Marshall's elevator. Tbe petition was granted with two lights and one was allowed for the Boston hill. The committee appointed some time ago to have tbe council chamber's enlarged inade their report, which was accepted. The Im­ M.McL*u<t>l!n, W. M. provements will constitute the exten­ tion of the balcony about twelve feet, changing the stairway and fixing up m Oaati« Hall, over McLaoxMin'e tbe windows, the estimated expense being about >100.

VlaKlnr Saturday nights of late and the fact that the marshal • is unable to cope with the business in his line, a reso­ lution was passed allowing him to hire a man on Saturday nights during the summer to assist him. The pay of said special police was placed at one' dollar per night—and then the fun commenced. A street fakir camo to town Saturday and procured a license of Clerk Rasey to vend his wares on the street. The fellow was an innocent-looking fellow and had to have the assistance of a cane to navi­ gate. He fell “hard up” and played on genial Al's bump of magnanimity with such force aud ultimate success that he carried away a license for the sum of >1.50 which, according to village law, was far and away below tbe price charged for such privileges. APPELN AN RBO9., DreylDff i Some of the members didn't like this rl klDda of Itatat and tn*n and the hot air that escaped would have been valuable during the winter. Al was soiry, as sorry as anybody could be and offered to make restitu­ tion, but his voice was faint, and could not be heard—for once—above the bubub and din. The matter was finally settled by the president ap­ pointing Aiderman Greene and Furnias us a committee to draft an or­ dinance regulating the prioe to be de­ ni anaed of fakirs with instructions to make thp “remuneration fit the crime.’’ A bill wm presented by Joseph Stevens for the council’s O. K. for damage to stock resulting from the quarantine on account of smallpox. It was accordingly O. K.'ed and will be presented to the supervisors of the county for payment. Other bills amounting in all to nearly 8500 were allowed, one of 8300 for fire bose and one of 875 for a car of coal. They all went home, Clerk Rasey taking a few strong resolutions with him.

Some time Saturday night the depot at this place was entered and the cash drawer robbed ot about five dollars, and about five pounds of chewing tobacco taken from a pail in the freight hoase. A box ot shoes was broken open but they were all ladies’ shoes ana none were missing. Entrance tp the depot was gained by breaking a board which was nailed over a hole in the door, which permitted of the vandals getting their arms through the hole and unbolting the door. The cash drawer was pried open with a piece of wagon box iron and another small piece of iron. The lock was broken and the contents of the drawer strewn around the floor. No clew has as yet been discovered as to who the robbers were but it is evident that it was home talent or in­ experienced men as there was no evi­ dence of burglar tools being used. ~n is lucky there was not more money in the drawer. . K1LLEDBY LIGHTNING. Clarence Randall, a young man of twenty-two, son of Mr. and Mrs. A. P. Randall, who live on the Dr. P. L. Green farm near Vermontville, was killed instantly at about 3 p. in Saturday, while assisting his brother in loading bay. He was working on the load and his brother pitching on. It was a most singular circumstance1 as there was no rain and just this one flash of lightning. The horses jumped when tne bolt came and die' young man fell to the ground, his neck being broken in 'the fall. The lightning struck him on the bead, singing bis hair and literally cooking■ the strip of flesh along \ which the bolt passed over his heart to his feet. Thei case of a watch which he carried wasi melted and the crystal literally pulver­ ized though the watch was still run­ ning. The shoes were torn from his1 feet and he was undoubtedly killed instantly. ADJUDGED INSANE. > Josephine Ehret, the twenty-yearold daughter of John Ehret, living in1 Millsvilie, was adjudged insane Mon­ day by Judge of Probate Chas. M. Mack and was taken to the insane asylum at Kalamazoo Tuesday by Deputy Sheriff R. A- Prooks. The hearing was held at her home and testimony taken from the family and Drs. E. T. Morris and J. 1. Baker. The cause of the derangement of her mind is ascribed to an attack of spi­ nal meningitis suffered some time ago. There are slight hopes of her recovery. LAUNDRY CHANGES HANDS.

The reports that have gone out from the secretary of slate regarding the sundition of wheat is erroneous, aud the reports coming in from the farmers are to the effect that Michigan wheat will be a very poor excuse for a fair crop Ibis year. The state reports said the light stand of straw was well filled with grain aud that there would be a good plump berry. These re­ porta are entirely untrue and the con­ ditions are quite the contrary.

Ben Needham of Charlotte wai arrested Friday morning on a serious charge, the complaint being made by bis 16-year-old daughter, was ar­ raigned that'afternoon before Justice Nichols. He demanded an examina­ tion, which was set for Tuesday, when he was bopnd over to circuit opart. Bail was fixed at 42,000, a sum which Needham will be unable to furnish. He is a laborer, aged about 40 years. A bunch consisting of John and Alec. McIntyre, Walter Monroe, Rex’ Wilson, Fred Williams and Bert Leay this week, charged with being drunk and disorderly.

The grading for aud moving of the stock yards alone has cost a small fortune and it would seem that it would be some years before they would get even on the amount expended. Wc were told by a high official of the company that it wm their intention when they started the improvements to make the depot and grounds as substantial and attractive as it was possible to make them, and tbe work done so far. is evidence that they mean to keep thei^ word. There was a most awfully surprised tramp down at Cnarlotte the other day, as the following taken from the Charlotte Republican and concerning a former divine of 'Nashville will prove: “The other, afternoun a tramp was prowling around through Rev. Wilson’s house when he came across Mr. Wilson and a plumber ip Uiq bath room. The sudden meeting didn’t even embarrass tbe fellow. He stopped long enough to inquiry it either of the geptlemen could change a dollar and upon being given a reply, walked out the front door as if ha owned the place." Think of anyone going to,a minister’s house to steal anything. The next .thing we expect to hear of is that burglars have ran­ sacked some editor’s bouse. Mrs. Chas. Slater, formerly uf this city, died Sunday morning at her home in. Petoskey. She bad been afflicted for the past several months with* a cancerous growth which re­ suited in her death. Mrs. Slater was the guest of friends in town ImI sum­ mer, and at that time was in poor health. She is sih-vived by her hurbaud, Chas. Slater, who was for a number of years a popular salesman at Baughman’s dry goods store.— Charlotte Republican. Mry. Slater’s maiden name was Carrie- Williams. She was born in Battle -Creak. Her brother is now chief of tbe fire de­ partment of that city. She was a woman of bright, cheerful disposition., always making the most of the san­ shine that came into her life. Mr. Slater.is a former Kalamo boy and has many friends here Who will sympathize with him. Mrs. John Mason of Kalamo, sister of Mr. Slater, attended the funeral. In the census just taken, while very few returns from villages have been given out as yet, the returns from tbe cities have all been surprising, inas­ much as nearly every city in the state has shown a wonderful increase in population, and it remains to be ex­ plained what is the cause ot the exodoe. to cities and wnere do tha people oome from. It has been given out by good kuthority that the smaller towns and rural districts have furnished the great numbers who have moved to tbe cities and whether this h true or not will be shown when all the returns are Riven. It is true that the healthy condition of business in the cities has drawn heavily from tbe rural districts but we believe that when the returns are all in they will show a growth in nearly every rural district and a majority of tbe villages M well. If this is the case it can only be accred­ ited to Immigration. If this is .true Michigan mpst be a -pretty good state to live In after all. In this connec­ tion we will say that we believe Nash­ ville bu “picked up” 'a Hula, but not as much as 11 should.

Failure of the expected attendance at tbe world's fair has moved the national .Loutatana PureKane Exposition cotnmtasiou to auggest a conference of all inter­ ests connected with the exposition, with the object of aecnrlng wider exploitation In the preaa.

Tbe letter says in part: “Beyond the line of the spr-elal influence of tho local press the extensive proportions and interesting details of the fair do not ap­ pear to the commission to have been made known to the general public, to rhe extent or in the manner calculated to. In­ spire the interest and secure the attendauce warranted by the extraordinary merits of the great educational force herein stated. The munificent recogni­ tion of the fair by thejfenernl govern­ ment attracted national attention. The invitation extended by the President of th* United' States, under authority of low. to the nations'of the earth to par­ ticipate in -the exposition, Hiipplemenled by the cordial co-oiM-ration of our diplo­ matic and consular representatives abroad, secured the most extensive for­ eign participation ever accorded to any like undertaking. Moved thereto by the • example of the national government, the States, territories and dependencies of the United States joined in tbe exposi­ tion with unparalleled generosity and cn’ thusiasm. The groups of palatial build­ ings erected by the foreign goVernmeuts, and by the States and minor subdivisions . of our country, together with the exhibits installed in the exhibition palaces pro■ vlded by the company, bear the amplest testimony of their earnest desire to make tbe exposition n pronounced sui-<-r>s. The buildings are completed, the exhibits are installed nnd the exposition has been In progress for .substantially three-sevenths of its allotted period. The faith of the Uianngcineut in tbe merits of the exposi­ tion-has been justified by the approving judgment of all who have entered the gates, but the daily attendance has been far short of what it should be from, any point of view."

L ths expected great battle between the Russians and th* Japanese in Mongolia has not been fought and the raapMcttve ■ known that the Russians had evacul ated Kaichou and had fallen back on Tatcheklao. According to General Oku, Kaichou was occupied after throe days of severe fighting. The Russian reports do Dot treat the matter so seri­ ously, and Indicate that there was little mare than a rear guard resistance to the advance of the Japanese.. Th* Russians have abandoned Yinkow, |he port of Newchwang, a posi­ tion which they could not safely bold after their retrograde movement- The Japanese do not appear to have, taken possession. A Llaoyung dispatch re­ ports that a Japanese column advanc­ ing along tbe coast In the direction of Ylukow was roughly handled by Genectl Bam son off and his Cossacks and had to retreat.- It Is-likely that the Japanese were merely making a reconnolssance, because the indications arc that General Oku has withdrawn bls forces west of the railroad aud has massed them near Kaichou. If tbe Rus­ sians are defeated, or If they retreat, Ylnkow find Newchwang will fall into the hands of the Japanese without any fighting, aud they will then have com­ plete control of the coast of Manchuria and a new base of supplies. Accordlug to Russian reports, which are probably correct. General Oka Is slowly moving northward from Kulehou in the direction of Tatcheklao, where General Kuoropatklu bus his headquarters. General Kuroki's main force’is on the east bank of the Liank River, about twenty-eight miles from Liaoyang. while the 'Russians under General Keller nre on the other bank, strongly fortified and prepared to re­ sist an advance.

It was evident, however, that the contending forces were farther apart than at any time during the or­ iginal strike. The strike was renewed in other packing centers also. Strike leaders declared that unless the employers,changed their attitude • at once, all the allied trades workmen would walk out .-.nd that a complete stoppage of work at the packing plants would ensue. When the men reported for work in a body early In the morning tkey were met by tbe announcement that It would be Impossible at present to take back .more than half 4hV force. The, workers met this announcement sul­ lenly. notwithstanding the clause hi tho agreement which gave the puckers 45 days in which tosupply work for all tbe strikers. The strikers mild: “You must tube us nil buck or none of us will go to work.” Many of them did go to work, how­ ever. but u -little later tbe leaders ap­ peared. and on discovering that some of the men who were turned nway had, been prominent figures In the strike they declared that the packers were employing a “revengeful discrimina­ tion.” nnd the strike was declared to be on once. more. President Donnelly, after conferring with other lenders, gave the order for the strike nnd then sent this telegram to union officials In other packing cen­ ters of the country: "Packers already have violated agreement by discrimi­ nation.

If they should suddenly become a sea of mud. as Virginia roads some­ times did during tbe Civil War, mili­ tary movements would become almost Impossible. There is nothing definite as to tbe occurrences at Port Arthur. The Jap­ anese are known to have completed a chain of forts at distances of from six to eight miles front the fortifications. Whether, and If so where, they have drawn any nearer Is uncertain. The .wild story that the Japanese lost 30.­ 000 men In attacks made by them on the fortlficaaons on July 10 or 1’ rs contradicted from Toklo. Other reports placing the loss ot 22.000 or 25.000 are doubtless equally fabulous. The report that on tbe 4th and 5tb of tbe month tbe Japanese were driven from the heights commanding Luaant&n pass with a loss of 2.000 has not been offietally denied. Tbe statement to tbe effect that the Japanese on the 11th Inst stormed Chungta, the key to the defensive works at Port Arthur, has London that the seizure of the British and German steamers by the Russian volunteer cruisers Smolensk and Pe­ tersburg marks the first European complication resultant upon the RussoJapanese war. How extensive this complication will prove to be time aud future events alone can deter­ mine. but at present the feeling of uneasiness baa become a fear that tbe end of tbe matter will not be reached Iwfore England aud perhaps Germany are forced to take stringent measures to bring Russia to terms in the matter. 2,000 RUSSIANS FALL.

The highest previous record for corn was in HVl. when the yield was 2.523,648.000 bushels. This year’s yield Is estimated at Dearly 14.000,000 bushels more. This es­ timate is based upon conditions as they were July 1, but aw there hare been heavy rains nnd floods since then in thSouthwest, which have damaged to some extent the winter wheat in Kansas, which was ready for the harvest, the total crop may fall short of the figures given above. How much damage has been done in the section named cannot be ascertained until the next government re­ port will be issued Aug. 10, but a yield at least equal to the- record is expected. Spring nnd winter wheat also shows up well, but the crop falls short of being a record breaker. The total yield indi­ cates n dropping off of 50,000,000 bushels from 1903.

The fish were taken from small inland taken in tbe vicinity of Madison, the badger cap­ ital. the first lot being planted in Chequamrgoii bay in 1889.

Good prices were puid for the fish frota the start. ■Commercial value has further increased. Smoked, the bluefin is the eqnal of hali­ but. it is also delicious as fresh .fish. But the enormous drain on the bluefin has run down the supply aud it would be a boon were the spawn from fish taken In the fall collected ’and propagated, to be restores! later to the lakes in the form of fry, as is the case with whitefish nnd trout.

John J. Roberts, a Battle Creek music dealer, came to this city Tuescalling himself Ludwig Warner. It wax supposed at the time, that Warner hud committed the crime of Lembezzlegnent in this county and a warrant was issued by Justice Riker for bls arrest on that charge. Sheriff Cortright at once sent out notices offering 8100 jrcward for the man’s apprehension. It subsequently developed, however, that the case was one of forgery in­ stead of embezzlement and came under the jurisdiction of the Eaton county officials instead of Barry. Warner, It seems, came to Battle Creek two or three weeks ago and be­ ing a bright, intelligent and slick young man, well dressed and engag­ ing in manners, he so won the confi­ dence of.Mr. Roberts that the latter gave him a chance to sell pianos. Warner went to Bellevue and claimed to Mr. Roberta that he bad found a customer. So the two men went to Bellevue with a nice piano, but tbe supposed customer would not have the Instrument, and as Warner thought he could find another customer the Sane was left In his charge and jbvrts went home. Not nearing •from his man for several days Roberta went I® Bellevue and ascertained that Warner had taken the piano to tbe home Of Dell Olmstead in Assyria township, and supposing that the lav ter had bought it and paid Warner -for it, part'in cash and part by a note, Roberte-took' immediate steps to get •out a warrant for embezzlement in Barry county. He has since learned that Olmstead did not buy the piano but that Warner forged Olmstead’s nose for 8225, sold it to the bank in Bellevue and departed for parts un­ known. This leaves the case for the Eaton officials to deal with.—Hastings Herald. (A good account of the affair will be found in our Assyria and Maple Grove Townline corresponMICHIGAN CENTRAL EXCURSIONS.

Storm Sweeps Fonr-Mile Path Through Centerville District. A heavy rain Aid hail storm has swept a path four miles wide through Center­ ville. Ohio, and vicinity, mowing down fields of grain and destroying fruit. Big fields of tobacco and corn were ruined. The tobacco crop, which is always the largest income of the fanr-'.rs in the Cen­ terville district, was utterly destroyed. Windows were broken iu houses in the vUlage and tree* were blown down. The people became frightened, fearing a eyclone would sweep their homes away nnd took refuge in cellars. The loss is esti­ mated at from $50,000 to 375.000. Capt.

If furnished in an open vessel it is soon lowered out af roach or filled ■with dirt and litter by their scratching. Various small fountains are oh the market which do for little chicks, but largo fowls shut in a warm house drink a groat deal and require lots of time and attention. The accompanying cut shows an automatic fountain which I devised for use in ray poultry house. It Is made of a l<>-ga1lon keg. A pint tin cup is connected by a small tube to the lower end. from which the chickens drink. To fill the keg the tube is corked, then the cork is taken UH FOULTBY. Without doubt the digging of n»w ' plants and setting them regularly in * the place they are to grow is the best ” way of obtaining the new strawberry 7 bed. True, this requires considerable ; labor and the selection of tbe best run- uers from the old bed. If this plan Is to be followed the best plants will be~ obtained by >goin* over the old bed " as the runners are. forming find keep,; ing the tips cut off to one or more,., plants, so ns to obtain strong plant* for re-setting. Another advantage of this plan is that Just the number of plants that may be set in a given pe- ‘ rlod are dug. so that none are left to ’ dry out as w|tb plants bought.

Fclectiug Seed Corn. The true selection of a better breed of corn is not confined to the selection of the best ears by any means, al­ though this Is the popular Idea of corn Improvement. As every corn raiser knows, certain seed will raise coni that is almost ideal, so far as the ear . goes, but there aie but few ears on a plant. This’ being the case, it Is evident that tbe true selection of corn Is the selection of tbe plants whlfh show the desired characteristics all through,their growth up to the time of harvest, so thnt the plants should be closely watched from the time they break ground and ihus securing the habit of growth as well as the perfection of ear so desirable Many of the plants will make n stronger growth than others aud ripen tbe full ciop earlier; If such a plant is what Is desired, it can only be found by watching its growth through the season. Then if the yield is all that Is desired one comes pretty near hav­ ing the ideal plant and one which Is. probably, capable of even greater im­ provement. Grit for Voting Chick*.

Food alone will not do the trick. A horse mny be fed th£ best of rations, but he needs care in addition, so trj these things which may seem simple, but whkJh will do a great deal toward milking tbe horse contented and more valuable to you. Keep his coat clean, not only by brushing nnd the use of the corub, but use water,on him ‘freely, especial­ ly during the warm period. When his work for the day Is done take a sponge and wash each pni^ of bls coat where lhe harness touched. If his muscles nre sore, take equal parts of iodine nnd sweet oil, mix them nnd rub the mixture well into, the Joints and tendons. Wash out bis, mouth occasionally nnd take care of his feet. Above all. In warm weather, see thnt his stable is well ventilated and thnt screens are placed so that vermin are kept from annoying him.

An Eastern paper recently published a lengthy article on bow to tell the age of eggs. While tbe article Is very interesting and the Information it con­ tains is no doubt accurate and relia­ ble, we are of the opinion that to th«^ farmer that makes the most money out of eggs It is not very material. Tiie only good egg Is the fresh one. and the way to make the most money out of the sale of eggs-is to get them into the hands of the consumer as soon as it can be done after they are laid.

Here's hoping she’ll come baok. But may her visits be unlike the periods which caused the Governor of North Carolina to say something to the governor of South Carolina. May she come often. Miss Kate Watson as “Roxana Peabody” is the Hoosier girl. It is a mistake to think for a minute that "Sis Hopkins” is any better. She is not; only been away from the farm longer. Miss Watson's makeup is interesting and her acting in keeping. At times it seems that she "out-Hopkinses Sis.” She is an artist.

Wednesday and Thursday last. - It is known that the attack was not suc­ cessful. The Rosslau flag yet flies over Port Arthur. From the fragmen­ tary accounts which have reached the outer world, it seems probable that the bloodiest fighting of the war took place. Thousands, perhaps tens of thousands, of Japanese soldiers must bare perished. f Marshal Oyama, In charge of the Port Arthur operations. Is a type of the old time fighting man rather than of the modern, scientific soldier. He pre­ fers force to finesse and assaults to ap­ proaches. He commanded tbe Japanese ten years ago when they took Port Arthur from the Chinese by direct at­ tack. He probably Is anxious to achieve tbe unique reputation of cap­ turing the Mme fortified placo twice and from two different enemies. The presence of tbe Vladivostok squadron and the threat of the Baltic squadron make it necessary for the Japanese to take Port Arthur quickly. Otherwise they may not take It at all. There are such ample provisions In the town that It cannot be taken quickly by starva­ tion. It must be taken by storm, and it Is believed that Oyama plans to storm the place. It will be a wonder-fnl feat of arm* on tbe part of bls sol. diers If he succeeds. There were serera! contradictory re­ ports during the week about the Vladi­ vostok squadron.

About thirty passengers were forced tn give up money and valuables, the total amount of the plunder being between $5.­ 000 and $10,000. Two of the passengers were struck by the robbers with a hatchet because they tried to conceal their valuables in their berths. The weapon descended on their heads and both were severely injured. The Illinois Central Company physician at Kankakee met the train and attend­ ed to the wounded. Another pasaenger was shot at, hilt the ballet.lodged above hla head in the berth from which he crawled. At the crossing of the Elgin. Joliet and Eastern road, about two miles north of Matteson, the bandits pulled the emer­ gency air cord, and when the train slack­ ed up they jumped off, firing a volley • of shots M the train os they fled in the darkness. . The Diamond Special is one of the best equipped trains that runs out of Chicago over the Illinois Central. Its .leaving time is.9^M> p. m. .At 10 o’clock it reach­ ed Harvey, where, tin' four robbers board­ ed the rear sleeper. With a hatchet, they pried open the rear door of thejrar.aud on entering they found the conductor, brakeman and porter in the smoking com­ partment. Four revolvers, were shnved into the faces of the trainmen, and while one robber stood guard over them the others went through the car. touting the passengers out of bed. There were a few who had not yet retired. Bullet for a Passenger. In this car one of the passengers at­ tempted to hide his money aud valua­ bles from the robbers aud a shot was fired at him. After al! the passengers in the rear car. five of whom-were wom­ en. had been aroused and lined up in the aisle, the nibhero quietly searched their ■berths for plunder. Sult cases, telescopes and traveling bags were • ripped o;wn with a knife and the contents’dumped on the floor. Watches were taken from vests, diamond studs and collar buttons from shirts, hud the pockets of trousers also yielded treasure. After robbing the occupants of the rear coach ouc tunn was left to guard them while two others went to the sleeper ahead. There were between twelve aud fifteen persons In this coach, and nil Were treated in a manner similar tn the pas­ sengers in the other car. Those who bad gone to bed were pulled out of their berths if they ventured to remonstrate. Two men in this car were struck over the head with .the hatchet which had been used by the robbers to enter the other car. At the sight of blood stream­ ing from the wounds one woman fainted. Watches, diamonds and money wera taken from all the passengers in the sec­ ond car, and traveling bags were slashed with a knife in the search for booty. Ona of the victims in this coach was Superin­ tendent of Telegraph Gross of the Illi­ nois Central road, who was relieved of a watch, diamond stud, $200 in money and all of his annual passes over different lines. Several of the women passengers had their rings stripped from their hands. Bai.dita Act Quickly. From the time the bandits boarded the train until they leaped off not more than eight or ten minutes intervened. It is thought at least one of the robbers was a former railroad man, to have known the method ot stopping a train by pulling the emergency air cord. W’hen the cord was pulled sli of the bandits ran to the rear coach and got off when the train had slackened sufficiently. The Pullman car conductor ran ahead and told the engineer of the hold-up, this being the first intimation be had that the passenger* iu the sleepers had been rob­ bed. The train was only two miles from Matteson and a quick run was made to that point.

There promises to be little appeal to. passion or prejudice in the contest. Il will be a business campaign through■ont. The .Republican managers will endeavor to convince the commercial Interests of thi country that Senator Hanna was right when he ndvistxl them to ’‘stand pat” ami to let well chough alone, while the Democrats will seek to create the belief that the for­ tunes of the iiutlotl are in peril and •that ita peace ami prosperity can be preserved only by placing Alton B. Parker in the White House as the head of a “safe and snxe" administration. Among the men who arc t<» assume the responsibility of guiding'the campaigns for the great parties the chief candi­ dates .themselves are the most conspic­ uous. It may be.ns-'umed that no linportant tnove will be made by the Re­ publican* without the junction of Pres: Ident Roosowlt. and that -nothing of vital moment will be decided upon on tiie Democratic side without the assent of Judge Parker. - The Campaign Mnnnacm. In the actual work of the campaign the RepublictAis have the start of their opponents. George fc. Cortelyou. the chairman of the National Committee, located In New York, will devote bls' time chiefly to the East, while in the West Harry S. New. the Indianapolis editor, wih’ doubtless have charge, with headquarters at Chicago, lu the East Mr. Cortelyou will be assisted by I,. A. Coolidge, of Massachusetts. Thomas Taggart will be the active head on the Democratic side and his reputation as a resourceful leader Insures the confl■denqc of his subordinates. Virtually he will be the manager of the Parker campaign. He bn*, been Mayor of In■dlaiutpolls several times. He has lived In Indiana since 1877 and has been GEOIIOE B. COBTELYOU. Tunning hotels nearly all his life. He •ays ho lias “given many a man dy»pepala.” Managing a .presidential cam­ paign la a strenuous task, but Mr. Tag­ gart will be equal to it. He will have /capable assistants. In New York the national committeeman, Norman E. Mack, will co-operate with him and •Cord Meyer, chairman of the State Committee, will be relied upon. Charles F. Murphy and hl* Tammany allies will also be expected to Jo work in the metropolis. The Democrat* must carry New York to win and the Repub­ lican* can scarcely afford to lose It On the Republican side in New York. Gov­ ernor Odell, William L. Ward. William Barnes. Jr., and Charles H. Murray will have to shoulder moat of the bur­ den. The Republican* will waste no ammunition on the solid South, and «mi Democrats will ignore such stroughddi of Republican lam as n arthern -Rew Pennsylvania, Ohio and around Indiana. ; Each campaign headquarters will be equipped with its literary bureau, through which th* new* of the day will be given to the newspapers. Tons of printed arguments, cons!*tlng-of tbe letters of acceptance of th'e presiden­ tial candidates, the national platform* and the speeches of the most promin­ ent campaign orators, will- be aent throughout the debatable districts. Another I m portnnt branch of head­ quarters work will be the management of the campaign orators. There is no prospect that tbe political content of this year will be characterized by the •‘whirlwind” tours in which William J. Bryan aud President Roosevelt were the most striking figures in the last na­ tional campaign. President Roosevelt w|ll make no political speeches and Judge Parker will deliver few. if any.

While all wheat growers recognize Abe neceosity for late rowing of wheat to avoid, as far as possible, the rav­ ages of tbe hessian fly, all do not see the necessity for early preparation of the son. It Is generally believed that much of the loss from winter freez­ ing might be avoided,by the early plowing of the ground for wiptcr wheat. Early preparation of the seed bed Is easier than late plowing; it gives one a chance to get rid of the weeds more effectively, the seed bed may have one or more extra harrowings or rollings and, altogether, put In much better condition than when the plow­ ing is done late. 'Then, too, should the. ground be not in the best condi­ tion ut seeding time, the thorough prep­ aration prevtous will count for a great deal, enabling one to catch tbe ground for tbe final harrowing and rolling whenever it chances to be right for such working. The question of varieties should also receive more consideration than it does and an excellent way Is to look up the best wheat fields in your county on similar soli and ascertain what varie­ ties are grown. In addition to this every wheat grower, large or small, should have a test ground for new’ sorts. It will pay for Its cost in giv­ ing one accurate knowledge of sorts on their own grounds. There baa been much controversy of •late years concerning the relative values of root crops and silage. This seems to be one of tbe questions that ■ought not to be discussed, inasmuch as the two crops.

Those who have tried It know that it is bard to sow the seeds of root crops by band, and they also know that until tbe plants are large enough to hold tbelr own it is hard work keeping the weeds down. As to the feeding values of the two. unquestionably the silage is the most valuable, aud it called upon to decide between the two I would select silage every time. • If one has n good silo tbe root crops will have their greatest value In fura variety In the menu, but It is where the slto Is unknown that the root crops ought to be extensively grown as furnishing s succalent food and a digestive at comparatively small cost, as wed M a crop which may bo Dairymen find K difficult to carry Renton Harbor n belt lh>c aiound Detroit. t« costndled by the Pere Motquettr Railroad.

The controversy between Great Britain nnd Russia bver the latter's act in justi­ fying tbe sinking of neutral ships i> raje idly approaching au acute stage where one power or)fie other must give way. Great Britain refuses to accept Rusria’s definition of contraband of war. and . insists that the sinking of the British steamer Knight .Commander was u vio­ lation of international law. Rusria in reply reasserts her right to sink a captured neutral ship if rite see* tit. without waiting for a naval prize cc urt to determine w hether it carries con­ traband or not. ’ In the House of Common* Premier Balfour, while admitting the gravity of the situation, said that he was confident that not another neutral ship would be sunk by the Russians. He declared that the sinking of the Knight Commander was an international outrage and stated that the British government had express­ ed to Russia in the clearest way portable that view. In tbe House of Ixtrds a similar dec­ laration was made by Lord Lansdowne, the British minhter of foreign affair*. Russia, said Lord Lansdowne, had iuued regulations at the beginning of rhe war which greatly amplified the definition of contraband hitherto accepted by Great Britain, tbe enlarged definition including such articles as coak alcohol, rye and other provisions, horse*, etc. Tbe Brit­ ish government had deemed it It* duty to call the attention of Russia to the grav­ ity of the quertion, referriug.particularly to the inclusion of provirions, in which England is largely interested, among the articles classified a* "unconditionally con­ traband of war." Tbe British government, therefore, had informed Russia, said Lord Lansdowne, that Great Britain refused to consider itself bound to regard as valid tbe decis­ ion of any prize court violating these rights, or which failed to act in conform­ ity with recognized principles of inter­ national law. The government had Iwn given to un­ derstand in reply that Russia c<«isiderrd that it was within the rights of tt lieiligcrent to destroy a captured ueutral Tea­ sei. whether It carried contraband or not. i Great Britain, said Lord Lansdowue. had I never accepted sm-h a view, and be <Ix>nl 1 laiusdowne) believed it had been refused by other jwiwer*.

Whether or not Port Arthur has fallen, and It la difficult to separate the spurious from the real in current news of the Russo-Japanese conflict. It Is certain there has been some extreme­ ly heavy fighting about the fortreau within -a few days. The tales of the refugees coming from the beleaguered fortress exhibit ft greater degree of unanimity than they have yet done. For three days the Japs attacked the outer forts. They displayed fanatical, almost criminal bravery. The Russians believe that from 17.000 to 20,000 of: thVm were mowed down aa they efit'i their way through the barb wire en­ trenchments and rushed up the- slopes. It seems that their main objectives were strong positions on Wolf, Green and Christ hills. The first two were captured, but the last holds out. and is said to be the. las: outlying fort held by tbe Russians. Almost every civilian has left town.. Its hospitals are crowded to overflowing with wounded. The maim­ ed soldiers lack both attendance aiid shelter, yot the condition can be noth­ ing like as bad as thnt of Plevna, which held out 142 days, and which finally fell, not to assault but to starya•tlon. If the Japs take Port Arthur by assault they win break all modern mili­ tary precedents. The severest ns well as-the most Im­ portant fighting which took place dur­ ing tbe week !n tin? central theater of war was nt YuRbu pass between the forces of Gen.-Kuroki and Gen. Her achelmkan. Yuahu pass was of Immense strate­ gical value to the Ruulans^, It is twen­ ty-five miles east of Llaoyang on tbe Salmatze road.

"It may bo part of Kuropatkin's plan to leave but an empty shell of an army at that town for the Japs to surround. If Kuropatkin actually succeeds In thla plan he will have accomplished n great military achievement, even In his defeat He has been leading a forlorn hope for many months, and has borne up well under the strain. If he can get out of tbe iron trap which tbe Japs have thrown around him he will assert his right to a higher position as a soldier than he now possesses. Government Crop Report.

At 11:30 the rain had nearly ceased, turning to a fine mist, but tbe cloudy sky showed no break. The ceremonies began as soon ns the party on tbe Sa­ gamore had disembarked. The opening speech was thnt of Chairman Champ Clark of Missouri, who formally* notified Judge Parker of his nomination and presented to him a certified copy of the platform adopted by tbe St. Louis convention nnd of the message decided upon by the conven­ tion in reply to the Judge's .telegram on the gold standard sent to William F. Sheehan. Judge Parker followed Mr. Clark with his speech formally ac­ cepting the nomination. The ceremony was followed by an informal reception. Extracts from Parker’s Speech. "It has been well said,' in substance, that there are but two powers in gov­ ernment—o:.e tbe power of the sword, sustained by the hand that wields it. and tbe other the power of the law. sustained by an enlightened public sentiment. Tbe difference in these powers is tbe differ­ ence between a republic and a monarchy. One represents constitutionalism, the other imperialism." “The present tariff law is unjust in its operation, excessive in many of its rates and so framed in particular in­ stances as to exoct inordinate profits from ths people." “What is needed—in addition to the passage ot a statute revising the tariff duties to a reasonable baaia—is.not so much other and different laws, as officials having both the disposition and the cour­ age to enforce existing laws." “It ia difficult to understand how any citizen of the United States, much less a descendant of revolutionary stock, can tolerate the thought of permanently de­ nying the right of self-government to the Filipinos." "We are not a military people, bent od conquest or engaged in extending our do­ mains in foreign lands or desirous of se­ curing natural advantages, however great by force; but a people loving peace, not only for ourselves, but for all the nations of the earth. • • • We should confine our international activities solely to matters in which the rights of the country or of our citizens ere directly Involved. That ia not a situation of iso-. lation, but of independence." "I accept, gentlemen of the committee, the nomination, and if the action of the convention shell be indorsed by an elec­ tion by the people I will, God helping me, give Ur^tfae discharge at the duties of that exalted office the best service of which I am capable and at the end of the term retire to private life. I shall not be a candidate for, nor shall I accept a renomination."

This creates more confidence that business generally will assume larger proportions, while the preparations un­ der way stimulate wider effort. New business coming forward apiwars best among the leading lines of distribution, the orders being from various sections ‘where trade conditions are healthy, es­ pecially in the cotton Status and South Reports gathered show bookings larger than those a year ago Ln dry goods and foot wear, while sales were of fair volume in woolens, clothing and groceries.

Manufacturing activity is more dis­ tinct in iron and steel branches, and in woodworking. Forces were incirvaaed nt steel mills and there Is heavier output of rrtlls, structural forms and furnace product. Farm implement fac­ tories have considerable work on hand and will reopen promptly when inven­ tories are completed. Other iron consuming branches are well employed and business has re­ mained 'good l>oth in tbe production and distribution of heavy nnd shelf hardware. Lumber dealings exhibit steady Increase. Prices of all materia! entering into manufacture are very firm, and new requirements suggest lit­ tle probability of early reaction.

Lud., baa been bound over to the •October term of court The only time ia th* examination that she lost her indifferent expression wan when tbe ■coroner road the note in which she ia aald to have azk.nl the drui/ist tor 13 ■cents’ worth of strychnine. Then she laughed. Lloyd Somerville, a 9-year■old boy who says be bore the note, waa tbe strongest witness for . the Htate. Hla testimony could not be shaken In .‘roosexaiulnatloa. The de­ fense introduced no witnesses. Phyu!■clans testified that the cause of death waa atiychnlne poisoning and. not ar­ senic, and that tbe bottle which Abe •defense represented as having been found in the girl's bed. and as contain­ ing arsenic bore no traces of that poi­ son. The object of the defense was to establish the theory of suicide. Coroner William' X Hollis declares Chat .new evidence has been secured against Mrs. Krauss. When asked tbe nature of. the evidence. be refused to way more than that it was the most damaging and sensational of any. yet brought out. It is said the bottle found in Crys­ tal’s bed, which was thought to have contained strychnine nnd was alleged to have been put there by Mrs. Krauss, has been found to have contained.noth­ ing but a Im rmless powder. It Is ■claimed thnt the attorneys for the de­ fendant will try to disprove the little Somerville boy's story. They will at­ tempt to show that Mrs. Krauss was not dressed In the manner described by the boy. but that Crystal was so dressed. They will also try to prove nn alibi, as they claim Mrs. Kraus? wan not at home when the boy went to the house with the milk. “I find strychnine in tbe stomach and -liver of Crystal Krauss In quanti­ ties large enough to kill, and her death undoubtedly $as due to its presence.’* Dr. I.. I*. Drayer, of Ft. Wayne, has issued this statement after an analy­ sis of tbe stomach of Crystal Krauss. In addition. Dr. Drayer declared that tbe bottle alleged to have been found beneath the pillow of the bed In which tbe girl expired contained a half-tea­ spoon ful of white arsenic. There wore no traces of this poison to be found In the girl’s organa. PARKER RESIGNS AS JUDGE. His Action Forfeit* Place in Court of Judge Alton Brooks Parker has filed with Deputy Secretary of Slate Hor­ ace G. Tennant in Albany Iris resigna­ tion as chief judge of tbe New York Court of Appeals. Although dat^d nt Rosemount, Esop us, N. Y., the resigna1 tlon was handed In by a messenger sent from tbe judge’s chambers, and followed a conference between the judge and his associates on the bench of tbe Court of Appeals. The resigna­ tion Is worded as follows: •'Rosemount, Esopus, N. Y.—I hereby respectfully resign my office as chief judge of the Court of Appeals of tbe State of New York, such resignation to take effect Immediately. "ALTON B. PARKER." By his action Judge Parker disre­ garded the advice ef the various poli­ ticians and others who have been urg­ ing him to withhold his resignation for three days. By so doing be would have made it impossible for a succes­ sor to his office to be nominated until next year, and would have held the place open for himself in the event of his defeat for the presidency of the United States In November, a tempo­ vary chief justice being appointed by the < lorernor to serve out the year. The defeat of Judge Parker in the f>U now would mean that his old place at tbe head of the highest of tbe Slate courts would practlcaiiy lie closed to lihn forever, ax the man elected this year will have a fourteen-yeur term to Probably about 100 person* were killed or drowned in h railway wreck on the Rio Grande at Pinon, Col. The RIo Grande passenger train No. Ik, south bound, went through the bridge over Fountain Creek. Tbe engine and five coaches were thrown into the ereek, wljlch la swollen from- recent The wrack undoubtedly was dne to a cloudburst. Fee hours that evening the country north of Pueblo was swept by the heaviest rain storm tiiat has l»ccn experienced In this vicinity for a score <>f years. Small streams,, were swollen Into raging torrents, | bridges swept away, and tbe roadbed of the railway washed and weakened in spite of tbe heavy stone ballast | Fountain Creek, In which the Rio i Grande train plunged, runs through a I winding, stone lined gully, through the hills, and it was filled with a rush of waters so impetuous that tbe railroad bridge was barely able to stand alone, even before the train dashed upon it. and was precipitated into the flood be­ low. . It Is believed there were fully 123 persons on tbe train and only twentythree survivors have been accounted I for. With the breaking of day tbe full i horror of the scene became apparent Wreckage was visible In all directions,1 dead bodies being seen here and there In the plies of debris from tbe efirs. driftwood and mud. Many of the bodies were carried down Fountain Creek by the wall of water, which had force enough to carry several coaches nearly four miles away from the polut where they, went through the bridge. A cloudburst had filled the creek and water was flowing over the trestle when tbe train started across. The bridge went down tinder the weight ot the train, and the baggage car, smoker and chair car were precipitated into the torrent. The engine got almost across, but fell back Into the water. The body of Engineer Hinman was found 200 feet down the river. All the cars were washed down the stream. The express car was found not far away With the safe open and Its con­ tents gone. Tbe-chair car was half a mile from the scene of the accident, half-filled with sand. In which were buried the bodies of many passengers. Tbe smoker was washed still farther downstream and was not located until several hours after the time of the ae| cident. Upon the news reaching Pueblo a special train bearltig all the available surgeons and the Rio Grande and Mis­ souri Pacific officials left for the sccnw Later a second train, carrying stretch­ ers, coffins and a number of officials, was seut our. Two hours afterwan! the relief train returned to the city bringing those who had escaped with their lives.

BRITISH ENTER LASSA. Younuhusbiintt’K Expedition Reaches Coal in Holy City of Thibet. . The British Thlbetitn expedition, un­ der Colonel Younghusband. has finally entered Lassn, Its coveted goal, after a determined journey marked with the blood of thousands. Colonel Youngbustand is the first European to enter tbe holy city of the Thllietans. Until now the natives have successfully resisted all attempts at In­ vasion. Fighting with the crudest of weapons, bnt Imbued with^ the un­ flinching patriotism of the Spartans, they have turned back expedition after exj^dltlon. • “Thus far shall thou go. but no far­ ther," has been their motto when peaceful overtures for entrance ''into I-assa have been- made. They always met foreign envoys at a place far re­ mote from their capital and close to their territorial limits and voiced this unchanging motto In resisting any at­ tempt at further advance. "Enter Lassa at any cost." was the order given Colonel Youaghusband when lie started on his expedition many months ago. Twice was he com­ pelled to call for re-euforcemeats as he pounded bls way toward his goal, but for every British life laid down during his onward march the lives of at least one hundred natives have been the price. The war has been one between me­ dievalism and twentieth century death dealing weapons. With a man of Col­ onel Younghusband’s dogged determi­ nation as tbe British leader the fight­ ing could have but one result SHOWS CONDITION OF <L -A. R. According to the report of the adju­ tant genera! of the Grand Army of the Republic, to be made at the encampment at Boston, 0.029 members of the order have died during the year, and about 250,000 veterans still wear the badge of the society. The gains in the last twelve months have aggregated 23,000, while ’ the losses by death and suspension were slightly in excess of the gains. The quar­ termaster general's report will show a good year financially. There is about $10,000 cash in the treasury and $10,000 in federal bonds available when needed.

FURNISS BRIGHT’S DISEASE] Many people who are neglecting symptoms of kidney trouble, hoping “it will wear away,” are ■ drifting towards Bright’s Disease, which is kidney trouble in one of its worst forms. FOLEYSKIDNEYCURE stops irregularities, strengthens the urinary organs and builds up the worn-out tissues of the kidneys so they will perform their-functions properly. Healthy kidneys strain out the impurities from the blood as it passes through them.

Judith waa quite "right: although her w«»rd4" filled me with fear, they could not destroy, or even weaken, the faxclnntioa she exorcised over me. Our mar­ rite* day was fixed. How distinctly I l>e celebrated at Little Bethlehem by the bride's father. All the principal members of the congregation were to be of the party, and the Rev. Obadinh Por­ ter provided the entertainment with no miggsnily hand. . When I entered the parlor I found it Tull of people. Of these two solemnlooking young men. whom 1 had often •eeu at chapel, represented the groomsuitu, aud two remarkably reur-lookiuf girls, daughters of Mrs. Humphries, the .bridesmaids. Two or three dark-looking cab* were -■allied forth. Martha waa standing in the bail, holding the house door in her 'hand. I had never exchanged a word with ber since that night when she way­ laid me npon the lauding; indeed, had at meal time*. How sorrowfully she looketl at me that morning! As I passed • out into the garden with Miss ILim:vhr*um upon my arm, she threw an old -shoe hfter me. The young lady v. ns •astounded, and I heard her master pause for a moment to rebuke her for such a ••henthenteh" act, as ho waa pleased to «t)le it. Although in the height of summer, it ■wax a most miserable morning. From edge to edge of tbe horizon, the sky was one of uniform lemlgn hue; there was a Une, soaking rain, that blurred nnd blot­ ted to the eye every more distant ob­ ject: the saturated trees kept up a ton-Atant drip, drip; the calyx of every Cow•«r was a miniature lake: nnd on the point of every leaf and blade of gruss -quivered globule* of water. Large j»oo|s lay tn the graxetod pa th,; aod the earth was ooddened. The little chapel .Wjja' chill and gloomy a vault, and the.damp ntmosplicre • clung upon every object, dimming the - windows, nnd half-veiling the cold, gray '.light that struggled ^hrougli them. “Not n pleasant day for a marriage,” remarked Mbm Humphries, solemnly: it wns the first remark she had addretoed "More fitting for a funeral." I answer• ed drearily. She looked at me rather Btrnngely. and it certainly must have sounded a some­ what strange remark in the mouth of a bridegroom. The ceremony, according tn the tenets •of there people, commenced: and as I took ber hand. I looked at Judith for the ■firat time that morningShe seemed unconscious of my glance. Her face waxdeathly |>ale. and very rigid, like one ■who had nerved herself to a terrible-nnd repulsive task, ns indeed she Lad. The touch of my hand awoke her from her ■revtric. She shuddered: but I tlior.gbf there was less of hardness mid ► <»rn in her manner, ns well I might, fur 'her tears were falling fast. Mr. Porter also was not quite him■ »elf; he reamed agitated mid nerroue. To tny morbid fancy his prayers nounded like a service fog the dead. At last. It wax all over. The whole party was • gathered near the door preparatory to 1cm Ing. Judith and her father had gone into a little room that stood near the entrance, where ahe had toft her wrnpplngfi.

When I reached tbe next town I would sell the bundle of clothes, ■nd the money would provide me v itb food and lodging on the wny. I had n» conception of the road, but I resolved that I would take the one down which I had seen her disappear. She said that ■ho understood thnt to be the right, one. I would follow in her steps. The day was just dawning when I came upon a large, old-fashioned village. Vnused to violent exercise, and exhaust­ ed for want nf food, for i had eaten ncthingtsince dinner time the day before, my stops began to flag. I looked round of life in any of the houses—all seemed buried in sleep. 1 walked slowly ou until 1 came to a little swing gate, which led .to the village church—an nmj-nt kicking building, ciuIhmmmI in •lees.

As the two men, their clothing sat­ urated with kerosen?, writbed and twisted in their agony and screamed to heaven for tiie mercy that tbe mob would not show, the perpetrators stood by and cheered as the flames slowly but surely licked out the lives of the murderers. The mob instead of showing merry burled burning embers at tbe suffer­ ing men every time one of them twist­ ed In his efforts to get away from tbe fiery tongue* which leaped ujto“ them from every side. Just before the torch was applied to the brush pile which had byen built about the victims,a photographer was called from the crowd and as the fag­ ots were Jguitol tbe camera snapped picture of the horrible scene. The mob’s straggle to get the men waa desperate and persistent The military guard was charged again and again but the mob . waa bayoneted back, many being -hurt. It was won­ dered at that tbe troops did not open fire on the mob. and the reason was not discovered until one of the mob grabbed a gun, broke it opeu aud naw tbatdt was not loaded. It was quick1^- passed from lip to lip that the guns did not contain cartridges and then the mob, gathering Itself together, made a final desperate charge ou tiie militia, overpowered the troops, en­ tered tiie cou*t house and pounced up­ on the crouching forms of the terrorstricken negroes, dragging them out Into die streets, over rough j-oud" to their doom. The forenoon had passed quietly, the trial of Paul Reed, tbe ringleader In tbe murder, being concluded nud a verdict of guilty rendered. Both he and Will Cato, found guilty the day before, were sentenced to bang Sep­ tember 0. Family of Five Slain. The murder of tbe five members of the Hodges family, for which Reed and Cato were lynched, was an ex­ tremely brutal crime. Hodges was a resident of Statesboro nud had a coun­ try home six miles from tbe town. On the evening of tiie murder he drove to the home of a neighbor to get one of bl* children, n little girl, who had been: passing the day there. The Inst seen of him and the child alive by friendly eyes was when he climbed Into his buggy with tbe little one nnd started home. About midnight it was discovered thnt the Hodge* homo vriis on fire. Tiie iilnze had made such headway that nothing could be done to stop It nud tbe botn-e was burned to tiie ground. As none of tbe monitors of the family was seen about the place the neighbors supposed that Hodges bad taken bls wife nnd chil­ dren back to Statesboro. Insjiection of the ruins next morn­ ing brought to light the bodies of the five victims. The head of Mr. Hodges was crushed in, as though he hud toon struck with an ax. and the head nnd body of Mrs. Hodge* showed marks of bruise^.. The little girl had been horribly mutilated. The .bodies of the other two children showed uo marks of violence, their positions indicating that they had been burned to death while asleep. some totter reports regarding tbe outlook for general trade.

Soil may be the same and seed may seem the same but some plants are weak and others strong. And that's 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 really feeds and gives the child growing strength.

Clean-up Sale on Wall Paper Clarence M. Welch, formerly pastor the M. E. church of this village, is under arrest at Grand Rapid* charged principally with illegal parentage on a warrant sworn to by Nina Caven, daughter of Jehial Caven formerly a resident of Maple Grove township. The following taken from the Grand Rapids Post, while known to many of our readers, will fully explain the charge against Mr. Welch: j ••Some years ago Clarence M. Welch, the man now under arrest, was a Metnodist minister in the town of Nashville, Mich., according to the complainant’s story. Nina Caven was a young girl of the congregation. Some time afterward Welch left Nash­ ville and after some drifting about came to this city, where ho took up the work of soliciting insurance. He has not been living with his family and the supposition is that he has deserted them. When he came here he induced the girl to move here also on the plea that she could get much better wages than in her borne town. Her mother was dead and she was left to take care of herself. She came to this .city and great intimacy grew up between her and' the fallen minister. This inti­ macy 1* the cause of her ruined lifeShe now has a child nearly a year old. . "To protect her in a measure against the scorn of tbe world and at the same time to leave her in a position to apply for work as a domestic in good families, her betrayer is said to have made out afalse certificate of marriage, using assumed names. The girl 'was Doable to keep up the deception, and as her health is poor she decided that the cause of her trouble should be made to bear or help her bear the consequen­ ces. She accordingly swore to the complaint which landed Welch in the tation ibis morning. "He pleaded nqiguiity to tbe charge rhen arraigned this morning, and de­ manded an examination, which is set for Sept. 14." Tbe above is undoubtedly the girl's story of the caae and the facta will probably comeoutin the examination. About a year ago Mr. Welch was be­ fore conference and was completely exonerated from the blame of any wrong-doing. The News believes that If ho is guilty as charged nothing should be left undone until be is just­ ly punished, and if he is Innocent those who have persecuted him should like­ wise be made to suffer.

RudgH’s fine Ice Cream Our Motto: ••The best In town for the money.*’ a In the United States Government building at the World's Fair the. de­ partment of agriculture occupies a full eighth of the immense floor space. This is In fair proportion to the im­ portance of tbe industry on which the real wealth of the nation depends. For It is from the soil, from inexhaustible Mother Earth, that vast tribute Is •drawn year by year, from generation jto generation. Agriculture not only supplies the food of the people, but it Is the foster­ mother, direct or indirect, of all our manufacturing Industries and com­ mercial enterprises. In recognition of this great truth the government spends lavishly of Its revenues for tbe maln- box of the same fruit that had been left carelessly lying around far sev­ eral days; or contrast the fruit gath ered at the proper stage of its ripen­ ing with the fruit picked too soon or too late. The difference in each case is so manifest, the market loan so very apparent, that surely such an error, once so convincingly brought home, will never be repeated. Or the pack­ ing may be defective—here are oranges that have traveled far with­ out damage, shown as they should be packed; close by are others that are bruised and discolored, simply be­ cause they were Improperly packed, its the eye guided by contrast can tell at a glance.

These efforts cfe focused, so to speak, at the World's Fair in St. Louis, where a magnificent demonstration Is given of what the department Is accomplishing to aid the farmer, the stock raiser, the lumberman, the fruit grower, and all who derive their livelihood from the soil. If there are enemies to be fought, new methods to be learned, the experience of other nations to be drawn upon, here is the place to com? in quest of knowledge. One of the chief methods adopted to inculcate truths established by ex­ perience is the effective one of con­ trast. The inquirer is invited to look on this picture and on that In this show case, for example, are apples of a particular kind grown on sandy soil. arc merely illustrative examples of scores of telling object-lessons of the same kind. Perhaps ths man of the soli is in search .of some product that will thrive in his particular locality, replace an imported luxury, and so afford him a profitable return for his enterprise and industry. The department places at his disposal facts and figures gath­ ered by experts who have traveled all over the world for this very purpose. Ranged in show-cases are many fruits and vegetables all capable of acclimati­ zation! in America, some of them in gradual process of successful •cell" matlzatlon—Jordan almonds from Spain, pistachio nuts from Italy, broad beans from England, truffles from France, Deglet Noor dates from Algeria, mangoes from India, mangos­ teens from Ceylon, leltchees from China, erso a new salad plant from iWx of CLOTHING.

The pink and scarlet varie­ ties of flowering beans also closely re­ semble the sweet peas, or their friend the Swansonia; but In these all rey semblance to the wistaria Is lost, as there Is no trace of tbe blue tlntings so com­ mon in these thrifty climbers. and aide by side are apples of the earns kind produced under identical condi­ tions of climate but grown on a heavy clay soil.

Closing out Sale We Have Tbe smallest amount of gold that has evsr been issued in the form of coins were the quarters and half-dol­ lars issued by private gold producers of California for a few years follow­ ing the gold finds of '49. These were in a measure a necessity, for the rea­ son that small currency was then de­ cidedly scarce on the Pacific coast These diminutive gold coins have proved in recent years a decided curi­ osity to many and have advanced in value to about 500 per cent The Interest found for these small gold pieces has prompted Harran Zerbe, chief of the World’s Fair souvenir coin department to pri­ vately Issue gold pieces comparable with the California gold quarters and halves, as companions for the Louis­ iana souvenir gold dollar. They are colled from gold mined in the Louis­ iana teritory and in design are typical o! the territory and its centennial celebration. The obverse bears a fleurde-lis with "L. P. E.” in the extended pointe; surrounding are 14 stars rep­ resenting the 14 Louisiana states and the date 1904. The reverse is in­ scribed with the fractions % or % surrounded by Louisiana gold. In connection with the Louisiana souvenir gold dollar these diminutive geld pieces are sold at face value, the set of three pieces commanding >3.75, and are obtainable direct from the exposition’s coin department Three dollars, the price originally estab­ lished for the Louisiana souvenir gold dollar, Is and will positively be main­ tained.

Ionia and Kent counties, with head offices at Woodland, have experienced a good Cwth and successful business since change of their charter. Two years ago the officers of the company, see­ ing that their increased businese and growth demanded a change in their charter to meet more up-to-date bus! ness methods, they began to make the changes and at the annual meeting in January 1903, thf charter was amend­ ed so that an advance assessment of 25 cents on the hundred dollars was al­ lowable. This assessment, which was made on March 1, 1903, has run tbe company to September 1904, or 18 months, would be sixteen cents per year on tbe hundred dollars of Insur­ ance carried. The cause for this de­ crease in the expenses of the company is due to the fact that tbe company does not lose four or five hundred dollars delinquent insurance every year by people who move away or by those not paying where the Insurance can not be collected, and then the in­ terest on borrowed money which tbe company had to pay amounted to four or five hundred dollars under the old plan. It seemed to take nearly a year to collect under the old plan while with the new plan those who pay are insured and those who do not pay are not insured. No assessment is made to exceed 25 cents on the hundred dol­ lars. There is nothing unfair about this advance assessment as those who sell out will get back their share of unexpended money. Your attention is called to the following three impor­ tant questions: . 1. Do you want to help pay the insurance of your neighbor who has failed to pay bis assessment? 2. Do you wMt to be re-assessed each year to helpimy the assessment of your neighbor who has failed to pay his assessment? 3. Do you want to help pay the balance due on eyery membership pol­ icy where the insured has sold out be­ fore the year is opt and moves away without paying up, as they usually do! If you do not wish to keep on help­ ing to fill these continuous leaks under the old plan insure at once in the Farmers* Union Mutual.

Place an Iron rod This country has the only produc­ tive and profitable corn belt in the world. The demand and increasing price- of corn in the last five years have raised the annual production to about 2.000.000.000 bushels, and yet the average per acre for the whole country is only 24.2 bushels. It is a rather remarkable fact that on tbe age production per acre. Is largest. This is doubtless due to the fact that bette- fertilization, cultivation and wed neh-ctlon Is practiced there. Lt is very well known that there is great advantage Ln seed selection. Many Instance* of this have shown that on tbe same quality of soils fifteen bush­ els per acre have been produced, more than where the work of selecting seed wax neglected. Again, it has been shown that corn growing on land* the previous year lu leguminous crops has greatly Increased in production.

President Lentz called the attention of the trustees to the bad condition of the arc light in front of tbe postoffice also the fact that the electric company had done nothing toward putting in the new lights ordered for the south side, and the chairman of the lighting committee was. Instructed to inform Mr. Kopf of the condition and urge speedy action. There was also some talk of changing the light now in front of Mrs. Beck’s property on Main street to further south in front of the Wol­ cott house, but nothing definite was done about 1L John Furniss appeared before the council and stated that he had been approached by farmers living north­ east of town asking him to open a road through tbe old driving park grounds and be stated that be was' willing to give the land providing the village would make the road and fence it. The street would certainly be a benefit in many ways as it would save climb­ ing the hill on Main street and would avoid a very bad piece of road on the cast and west road, and the fact that it could be put in at small expense is one reuon why the offer should be taken advantage of. Tbe matter was referred to the street committee. The water committee was instructed to paint the inside of the stand pipe and also to clean it out and to protect the water main running across the riyer near the pump house. This commxttlee was also instructed by motion to erect a coal shed at the pump house, capable of holding four or five cars of coal and also to purchase that much coal while the price was favorable. ■ A letter from Judgeof Probate Mack of Hastings was then read wherein ha stated that according to the will uf the late Daniel Jackson, the village of Nashville was entitled to. the money left by him for the purpose of building a hospital, as soon us they showed a disposition to comply with the condi­ tions of the will, and after consideraolc talk it was decided to commence at once and build such a building as would be serviceable to the village in many ways, and a committee consist­ ing of Trustees Furniss, Gribbin and Greene was appointed to formulate plans etc., And to report at the next meeting.

A letter from Miss Lucille Eaton Hill, director of physical culture at Wellesley college, urges a campaign against that which she terms "this dreadful abuse of uncontrolled basket ball in girls secondary schools," says Good Housekeeping. How strongly and deeply this good friend of girls feels, who is an avowed enthusiast with regard to athletics for women, is evident from the specific charges brought In the letter against this game as it Is oftentimes played. Moral injury, as well as physical. Miss Hill finds in uncontrolled basket ball trace­ able largely to the development of the competitive spirit. This competition has been known to descend to the level of "slugging." So long as ath­ letics make a girl stronger and more womanly, as they undeniably can do, there Is none to quarrel with them or take offense.

LUMBER / The new paper-making machines which make tbe modern magazine possi­ ble are wonderful. There is one paper mill, for instance, at Rumford Falls. In the woods of Maine, which turns out every day a strip of paper 144 feet wide and 150 miles long—long enough to put a sash around the earth every six months, declares the Woman’s Home Companion. There are. all told, 1,100 paper mills in the United States, producing 1200,­ 000,000 worth of paper a year. They burn up 3,000.000 tons of coal yearly, and shred 2.500,000 cords of wood into palp. About 12,500,000 trees are cut down to feed these paper mills, event tree being at least nine Inches in diame­ ter. One month’s issue of the Woman’s Home Companion requires as many trees as there are on a good-sized farm. If you tear off a tiny corner of this page, and put it under a strong microscope, you will notice the little splinters of wood of which all paper is made. Alt Kinds for Every Purpose.

With Commander Boston in the chair the exercises opened with invocation by Rev. De Beer, followed by instrumental music by Wilds Gortha. A letter was read from the first commander of the post, E. F. Evans of Hastings, who could not be present on account of the serious illneas of a brother, but he sent a .jolly greeting to all and an interesting reminiscence of the up* and downs of the post. Next came an outline of the history of the organization of the Grand Army of the Republic, both national, department and post. Than came a song by Zadie Keyes, accompanied on the organ by Kate Bowen. Next a recitation by Margie Brady, followed by a very interesting address by W. S. Hecox. Then came a pathetic scene, reading by the blind Miss Ruth Sprague. To dose the exercises Mr*. >. H.

Tne common council convened in aular session Monday night and d an interesting session. All member were present and President Lentz presided. The matter of opening a new road from North Main street to the town line road was taken up and aisposed of. Al the preceding meeting John Furniss offered to give the land to make the road providing the village would reimburse him for material to fence the name. A petition was pre­ sented which was signed. by a number of farmers living northeast of the village and also by residents of the village, asking that the road be built, and with said petition nearly all signers agreed to give a certain amount of work toward '.to construc­ tion, and after a little argument all motions were passed and the propo­ sition adopted. The road will run in about the same place as the one which used to run to the driving park, and while shortening the present route will also do away with a bad piece of road just east of Knowles’ corners.

Is tbe focal point for the world-wide attention centered In the Russo-Japanese war. iu successive stages tbe field of operations has swept across Manchnrl.t. Llaoyttng recently waa tbe stage for great events. The battle fought there, even though but fragmentary fact* are known, Is con­ ceded a place among the world's great military struggles. Kuropatkin. in a masterly retreat, forced upon him by the strategy nf the enemy, covered for­ ty miles of sodden roads, saving his army and artillery from total disaster and reached Mukden. Will no make n stand here, or will his weary army take up tiie march again to a position farther Dorth? This Is the-qnestion of the hour. A few mile* north is Tic Paas, a position adapted by nature for defensive operation*. This, say ru­ mors. Is in reality to be the scene of tbe next great battle. In |act, a des­ perate battle has already been reported here, but this Is now denied. Mukden, which in times of peace has at least 2U0.<MM> inhabitant** Is situated in the neuter of. an Immense alluvial plain, about three miles from tbe Hunho. n tributary of the Lino river. It is about forty miles north of Port Ar­ thur. forty-two miles north of Liaoyang and .350 miles south of liarbin. General Kuropatkin discovered. early in March, that Harbin was too far north to serve a* a military base for tbe campaign in Southern Mancuhria. and he selected Mukden for bls head­ quarters. because it Is favorably situ­ ated on the railway and on the Pekin road. The city of Mukden has an outer wall of nuul, and a lofty quadrangu­ lar Inner wait three miles In circuit, built of brlek. flank tvl by lofty towers and pierced by eight gates protected by lofty brick bastions. This wall, od which three carriages could drive abreast, protects the commercial and official part of the city, and Is densely crowded. Mukdui. betflde* being the great grain etnjKirluni of Mancburin. is the center of the Chinese fur trade. I and attracts buyers from all parts of tbe world. It la the ancient royal city of the Manebus. and the former burlnl place of the rulers of China. About the city and about the tombs centers the veneration of China's millions. Aside from this. Kuropatkin may not only avoid battle at Mukden, but may be compelled to abandon all hope of further resistance until after thtj winter months. His army, repeatedly defeated. Is badly demoralized. say ru­ mors. IU morale cannot but have been affected, and though its valor has been unmistakably proven, tbe task of again facing the fanatical desperation of the Japanese might prove too se­ vere n strain. Two months of autumn remain for fighting. Nevertheless, it is more than probable that the battle of Llaoyang marks the last important struggle of the present year. Tbe ruins dow prevent operations. The plan of tbe Japanese will not develop until transportation becomes possible over the roads. A determined advance on tbe part of the enemy will In all prob­ ability be followed by a prompt north­ ward movement on the part of Kuro­ patkin. In that event, tbe winter will find this situation: The main Russian army will be centered at Harbin, with the rear guard at Tie Pana. The main Japanese army will be quartered in and about LiaoyaDg, with Its advance guard nt Mukden. Rumors have come tually develop. Meantime, ancient Mukden rivets attention. IULs impossible to ascertain what lies happened dnrlng the last week be­ tween Llaoyang and Mukden, except In the broadest outlines, and even as to these there is uncertainty.

Y., Sept. 5, 1888. He Michigan with h!s parents Ln f 1849, when a boy eleven years old. The family settled near Hickory Corners, Barry county. A few weeks after their arrival they suffered an irreparable loss in the death of the husband and father, who was drowned. Soon thereafter Myron became a member of an older brother’s family where be resided some years, engaged in farming. Soon after his 21at year he went west and spent several years in Kansas and Colo­ rado. Suffering from the alkali waters of these regions he was obliged to return to Michigan for his health. Soon after his return he pur­ chased what is known as the Pennock homestead, where he has since re­ sided. His marriage to Miss Mary Barnes occurred November 14, 1866, who with their three sons and one daughter survives him; Curtis W. and Ernest M. are residents of Maple Grove, Roy A. resides in Grand Rapids, and the daughter Miss Ena is at home. He also leaves nine grand­ children. Mr. Pennock’s long residence in this vicinity had greatly endeared him to a wide circle of friends and acquaintances, who esteemed him for his Stirling worth. He was a thorough and successful farmer and heartily in accord with the agricultural prog­ ress of the hour, prompt and honorable in all his business trans­ actions, and deeply devoted W the interests of his home and family, and a hearty sympathizer with every measure that promoted education, sobriety and good citizenship. He was a member of the common council that organized the village of Nash­ ville, and baa watched its growing prosperity with much satisfaction. In his political party affiliations he was a republican. Mr. Pennock belonged to an old New England family. But three of his father’s family survive him, Charles Pennock of Delton, Ebenezer Pennock of Hastings and Peter Pennock of Pennock's Siding, Osceola county, Mich. The reunion of the Pennock family recently held at the home of Eben Pennocx al Hastings, where more than 200 members of the family assembled, was to him a delightful occasion and one which he hoped often to enjoy. Mr. Pennock usually enjoyed good health. Three years ago he had an attack of pneumonia which left his constitution shattered. His sudden death is to the community a source of profound sorrow. He was buried from his late residence Monday, the 26th, Rev. Tuthill. pastor of the family, delivering the sermon. Under­ taker Lentz had charge of the services. The Methodist choir furnished music. His remains repose in the family lot in Lake view cemetery. Many of the relatives of the family were present at the funeral, among whom were Mr. and Mrs. Eben Pen­ nock, Mrs. Etta Bam abee, Mr. and Mrs. Fred Stanley and Miss Lettie Barnes of Hastings; Mr. and Mrs. DeMott and Mrs. williams of Cloyerdale; Mr. and Mrs. Myron Pennock, Mr. and Mrs. Horace Pennock and Chas.

Farrington bead of tbe Wisconsin Dairy school, as one of the commission on testing al the world's fair will be of Interest to dairy men in general and will aid to straighten out many wrong im­ pressions aa regards the testing of milk: * 'The natural variation in the test of a row’s milk and of herd milk Is some­ thing that is difficult for anyone to understand. Careful observations made by testing tbe milk daily from single cows and from herds 4have shown that there may be a difference from day to duv, of as mucP tut one per cent fat in the milk, even when the milk has not been tampered with by skimming it or by adding water there­ to. "We have four herds of cattie at Che World’s Fair at the present iime which are entered in the dalrv teste, and samples of each row's milk are lakeA at each milking and the mixed milk of one day from each row, three milkings, are tested daily. A sample of the herd milk from each herd is also tested dally. The testa of single cows will order came the Marietta, Castine, suprising way, occasionally there beand the third-class cruiser Atlanta. ing a difference of as much TW lines of the Brooklyn are wonder­ cent fat in a test of some oneoow’s fully graceful.

Between two and five o’clock on Monday afternoon the Brooklyn was Mrown open to the public, and several hundreds of persons went all over ber. Tbe sailors were doing pretty well aa they pleased, and generally hob-nobbed with the visitors. Ameri­ cas officers are far more genial to civilians than their British proto­ types. There is less gold lace about them, but they know their business, and behind their* smiling, genial countenance there abides the keen mind and the swift perception. The Brooklyn saw a good deal of service St Santiago when she practically bottled up the ill-fated Viscaya. Ad­ miral Chadwick was then chief of staff to Admiral Sampson. Compar­ ing tbe sailors' wages with those re­ ceived by the British tar, it ia at oooe seen that Uncle Sam believes in giving his seamen the highest re■raneration in tbe world. A third- root-bl; £7, per month, while a firstclass man gels from £11 to £12 per month. Pensions, too, are good, and on the whole it cannot ba wondered that among the seamen one finds Englishmen, Scotchmen and Irishmen, besides Swedes. Germans and Japan­ ese. A heterogeneous crowd cer­ tainly, but there Is one tie they have In common, they can all speak Eng­ lish well. Tbe men were paid on Monday and a few of them came up to town to burn a little of tbe money. Three or four were discussing a bottle of Scotch Dear the Good Hope Theatre and generally having a good time. One struggled with that immortal trans­ Atlantic ditty ' ‘It’ll be a Hot Time in tbe Old Town Tonight,'’ but as every bar of the tune bad to halt until tbe songster gargled bis throat some more milk in tbe daily testa. "The testa of the herd milk do not varv so much aa those of the single cow's, because of the larger number of individuals composing the herd and these variations are to a certain ex­ tent equalised, but from these records of tbe four herds, I have obtained the following figures showing the extremes in tbe testa of tbe herd milk during tbe months of June and July: "The herd milk of Brown Swiss cows varied in teal during June from 2.9 to 3 4. In July from 3.1 to 3.8, ‘ ‘The teslof Holstein herd's milkvaried in June from 3.2 to 3 7, in July from 3 to 4 per cent. "Tbe test of the Jersey herd’s milk varied in June from 4. to 4.7, in July from 4.2 to 4.6. “Tbe Shorthorn herd's milk ran in June from 3.i to 3.6 and in July from 3.2 to 3.8. * These figures show th at the v arialion is not peculiar to the cows of any one herd, but it occurs in the milk of all the herds These h. rds vary in num­ ber from 5 Brown Swiss to 29 Short­ horn rows. ‘‘From tnese and other records, it Is shown that the teste have varied nat­ urally from .5 to .1 per cent ho that it is not safe to assume that a variatbe milk has been tampered with. MORPHINE WAS THE CAUSE OF MIS DOWNFALL. Prominent Physician Arrested In “Ann Arbor Mich., September 27.— “I was not drunk from whiskey—it was morphine," is tbe pitiful piea of Dr. John McDowell, a former student in the University of Michigan, a graduate of Rush medical college, Chicago,and a man whose professional practice was ruined by the drug which enslaved him. McDowell was in the sleepy state from the influences of morphine when picked up by tbe police on tbe public streets. The officers thought he was intoxicated and arrested him. This morning be pleaded guilty to being drunk, not from whiskey, but from morphine. "I was a student here in Ann Arbor in 1883 and 1884,"said McDowell. "I graduated at Rush in 1886 and went to Bay City to practice. Fifteen years ago I started to take a little mor­ phine and the habit grew until I lost my practice. I took the Kreley cure and went to Detroit to start my pro­ fession over again. Things didn’t come my way and I went back to the drug again. I left Detroit a month ago to canvas for some medical books and here I am.

GOULD. lowly Rich Frequently Wear Them Nothing can be more beautiful thaa pure white, old mine diamonds, but the yellowish Cape stones are the odcb most frequently seen in the ears and on the fingers of the noveaux riches. Many women seem to wear diamonds simply as a method of advertising their hurbande’ success in business. It may be useless to anathematize the diamond engagement ring, which seems to have such a firm hold upon the conventional mind that the troth seems hardly bind­ ing without this glittering adjunct, yet what of romance or poetry there 1b con­ nected with it has never come to light Around the pearl, on the other hand, cluster the songs and tales of thousand loves. Of recent years pearls have to some extent been thrust Into the back­ ground by more gaudy rival*.

Blowers, living about eight miles southwest of the vil­ lage in Maple Grave township, are mourning the untilhely and horrible death’of their, fourteen-year-old son Ralph, who was burned to death in a fire which destroyed the barn on their Cace Tuesday evening between the >ure of six and seven. After returning home form school the boy was sent after the cows which be placed in their accustomed places vtxgbts er rrrxiu, iry Lod*«, ■<».». <­ In tbe barn and returned to the house, at JU Uaafrvttts. dagvUr mmOb* mrj where he had been but a short time when Mrs. Blowers discovered a small fire in the southeast corner of the barn, where evidently, during the j^mstvuxb ^opex., »qstorm It had been struck by lightning. McDwbr She called to tbe boy telling him to run to the barn and drive the cows out. He entered tbe barn, let the cows btot and evidently opened adoor which went from the stable to the main part of the barn, which gave an opening for the flames and gases to rush out and it is presumed that he was over­ come and rendered uncounclous, fall­ ing, to be consumed by the cruel flames. The neighbors were soon aroused and congregated al the place but the fire was so angry and the heat so intense that it was with difficulty they were able to save the other build­ ings adjoining tbe barn. Some idea of the Intensity of the heat can be gained from the fact that it took a □umber of barrels of water io keep the bouse, which stands at least ten rods from the barn, from catching fire. Shortly after the first persons arrived upon the scene the boy’s body could be seen lying in the fire but he oouid not be gotten out and when the fire had burned down all that was left of him was a few charred bones. The barn was a new barn 36x50 feet having just been completed last year at a cost to Mr. Blowers of over a thousand dollars and contained over thirty tons of hay, some beans, mow­ ing machine, harness and other things which are usually kept in a barn, all of which were consumed, besides a straw stack and a few rods of good board fence, and while the barn and contents were fairly well insured, yet even tbe monetary loss will far exceed the insurance ..while the ioss of their son is irreparable, and they have the deepest sympathy of their friends and neighbors. Insurance was carried in the Barry and Eaton insurance com­ pany, <850 on the barn and S300 on the contents. Since thefire Mrs. Blowers has been terribly affected and for a time her life was despaired of but at present she is rallying and it is hoped she will recover.

FURNISS. The News feels that it would be recreant in a duty to tbe public and its needs if it failed to pi mH to them a testimonial of Victor B. Furnln. our candidate for the office of sheriff. Thia la an office which is one of tbe moat Important in the cotffity, and it requires perhaps more than any other county office a man of unquestioned integrity and honor, as well as of executive ability and econ­ omy. All of these requisites are com­ bined in Mr. Furniss, and thia fact is unquestioned by any man who knows him. Mr. Furniss is a Barry county pri duct, and be does honor to the county of his birth. He wm born in Assyria township in .April, 1870. and moved to Castleton township with his Earents in 1875. Since that time be m resided in this township, most of tbe time in NMbville village, and no man in the village or township is better or more favorably known. He has grown to manhood among us, and there has never' been a spot or stain of any kind upon his good name. He is universally recognized as a young man of good habits, honest, indus­ trious, economical, wide-awake and progressive. He owns a fine home in the village, one farm in the village limits, another in the township, and be has earned every dollar he is worth by his own hands. In 1807 he was elected village assessor. The following spring he was elected super­ visor of the township. That hia ad­ ministration of these two ofiloes was eminently satisfactory is attested by tbe fact that be has held both of them continuously ever since, and has been re-elected every year by increased majorities. He knows no fear or favor, no friend or foe in tbe just discharge of his duties. He is "square,” and every man who knows him knows this to be a fact. His ad­ ministration of tbe office of sheriff, if he is elected to that responsible po­ sition, will be suoh as will please the people of the county, without regard to political affiliations. Tbe office will be run with the strictest economy consistent with the proper discharge of the duties of the office. Every de­ tail will have careful attention and every duty, pleasant or unpleasant, will be promptly and justly done. Mr. Furniss is an ideal candidate for the place, just such a man as the county needs in the position, and be will make an official in whom the county will have reaaon to take just pride. We believe that In the four eastern townships of the county, where Mr. Furniss is best known, he will receive the hearty support of a large majority of the voters, regardless of party, because they know him and like him, and know, him to be fearless and honest in'the proper discharge of hie duties. We believe that his majority in tbe four townships will be such Bluahlng with shame and in tears, pretty Nina Oaveu. who claims khat her lite has been ruined by "theRev.” Clarence M. Welch, formerly pastor of a Methodist church at Nashville, told her pitiful story yesterday in po­ lice court. Facing her sat Welch, who is under arrest for alleged il­ legal parentage. The child was born one year ago in this city. Miss Oaven’s story Is one of tbe most sensational ever unfolded in the annals of local courts. It dates from 1900, when pbe, an innocent country girl, hymns In the church oboir, white Welch preached "fire and brimstone’’ from the pulpit. Their first meeting in.private, his alleged pro­ testations of love, his alleged promises of ufidying devotion, his alleged argu­ ments that they could do no wrong, were all recalled and related wlthsuch Straight-forwardness, such apparent sincerity, that Welch hung his head in evident misery.. Continuing her testimony. Miss Caven said that with Welch she came to Grand Rapids early last year, a few mouths before her child was born. Welch, she asserted, said that they must represent that they were busband and wife, and directed her to a local stationery store where she purchased a single marriage certificate blank. Then, according to her story, he filled out tbe blank spaces on the document and when he had finished it represented that they, "Charles and Nina Pren­ tice,” were lawfully joined in wedlock. Affixed to the certificate, Miss Caven claimed, were names of fictitious witnesses. This certificate was intro­ duced as evidence. It seemed to come as a surprise to Welch, who is said to be known by some people here as C. !$• Prentloe. From Miss Caven'a evidence it is apparent that the Methodist congre­ gation at Nashville suspected that she and Welch were something more than friends. She slated that he in­ duced her to appear before the board of trustees of the church and declare that he was innocent of any improper relations with her.* She said further statements to the effect that she knew nothing against him This she testi­ fied was done because he threatened her if she refused. Her reason for prosecuting him is that he refuses to provide for her child. After withstanding a hot fire of cross questions Miss Caves begged that the examination be adjourned that she might have an opportunity to regain her strength and composure. As she was assisted from the stand she seemed about to faint. The ex­ amination will be resumed October 12. Meanwhile Welch is at liberty on 1200 bail. Very clerical is Welch in appear­ ance. He disports an ecclesiastical black beard, black hat and black Prince Albert and has a most * ‘fetch­ ing” way of resignedly crossing his bands when sealed in court. Since his departure from Nashville he has been writing life insurance.—From this morning’s Grand Rapids Herald. •There is an apparent discrepancy here, as nothing of this kind ever happened in tbe church here, so we are informed by Welch bad before Presiding Elder Gray of the Grand Rapids district about A barn owned by Henry - Webber, a half miie east and a half mile north of K alamo center burned Tuesday eve­ ning, from lightning.

Lake Odessa people were thrown into state of excitement last week Thurs­ day when but for the poor marram....sbip a murder would have been com­ mitted. Ou that afternoon Miss Bessie Buras, a young woman of about twenty summers called at the home of Elmer Healy, a young man about ''her own age and proceeded to make a tar­ get of him. She fired two shots, tbe first struck a leather belt and just grazing the skin while the second bit him in the bip, but did little damage.

It is safe kept in proper working order, illness would be almost unknown. Thedford's Black-Draught is so successful in curing such sickness because it is without a rival as a liver regulator. This great family medicine is not a strong and drastic drug, but a mild and healthful laxative that cures con­ stipation and may be taken by a mere child without possible harm. The healthful action on the liver cures biliousness. It has an in­ vigorating effect on the kidneys. Because the liver and kidneys do not work regularly, the poisonous acids along with the waste from the bowels get back into the blood and virulent contagion results. Timely treatment with Thed­ ford's Black-Draught removes the dangers which lurk in constipation, liver and kidney troubles, and will positively forestall the inroads of Bright's disease, for which dis­ ease in advanced stages there is no cure.

Welch, which we print in full because we believe every man is en­ titled to have his say, especially in a mailer a« important to his reputation as this one. Mr. Len W. Feighner, Nashville, Mich. Dear Sir: I wrote you, a f^w. days ago. in re­ gard to an article which had appeared tn the Grand Rapids Herald of Oct. 6th and later in the columns of your paper. Having received my former communication it is not necessary for me here to give the contents that was therein contained, but simply to state that my attorney went to the Herald office and saw Mr. Conger and his editor-In-chlef about the matter, de­ manding a retraction to be published in the columns of the Herald, and they agreed that if be would write such retraction and send It in they would publish it. But up to date, however, It has failed to appear in the columns of the above paper, and we are advising among ourselves as to wnat steps we shall take in relation to it. I may here add that we hare evi­ dence In hand, not only to disprove the statements made in the above mentioned article, but also many others of similar character which have been made in the complainant’s testi­ mony. And as no man likes to be convicted before he is guilty, nor condemned before he has done any­ thing worthy of condemnation, and as we all have a natural shrinking from being slandered by the grossest falsehoods and misstatements of facte, but desire to be truthfully represented, especially when charged with so serious an offense as is contained in the complaint against me, I hereby enclose to you a copy of the retraction as prepared for publication by my attorney, and would also like to re­ quest you to refrain from publishing any more of the stuff that may appear in the papers about the case, as I have always esteemed your paper as being above the matter of unjust re­ flection upon anyone. And even though the copied article appeared in your columns, I did not charge it up to a disposition to unjustly injure me, which was indicated by your foot note in connection with the article, but withal was sorry that it should appear In the columns of the Nashville News, as it gave Increased circu­ lation to tin most brazen and un­ grounded lies, and would become an additional source of discouragement to my friends who had confidence in the statements appearing in your paper. Please take such steps in relation to the enclosed as may in your judgment appear to be fair and equitable in disarming unwarranted prejudice in relation to the case now in hand. With best wishes to yourself and tin. Very sincerely yours, C. M. welch. Editor Grand Rapids Herald, City.

Tbeir right •ought to work around to Pigeon Bay. on tbe west coast of tbe peninsula, di­ rectly west of tbe City of Port Arthur. Between Aug. 1 and Aug. 15 we can locate with a none too certain guess tbe Japanese occupation of Takusban Mountain, of Wolf HUI and of a vil­ lage and minor fort on Pigeon Bay. With tils tbe besieging army was in direct opposition to the line of ex­ ceedingly strong forts which make up tbe Inner defenses. Rumor after ru­ mor at that time told of the capture of Etse-sban and Antsxshan, two of tbe strongest of these forts, and the sortie of the Russian fleet Aug. 10 gave grounds for the belief that these rumors were true and that the fall of tbe fortress was Impending. These rumors proved ail wrong, and if the Japanese actually succeeded In forcing the Russians out of Etse-sban they were unable to hold it them­ selves. A month of comparative quiet —a time of boinbnrdmenta. but not of assaults—followed. Then, as It would seem, about two weeks ago—most of tbe 010141*8 say Sept. 10—a new series of assaults began. We were told that the Japanese bad captured nine minor forts, part of them lying close in to Etse-shnn and Antsxshan and part south of Wolf Hill. These latter con­ trolled the waterworks of Port Arthur and gave tbe Japanese a new point from which to make attacks either upon Antaxhan to the west or upon tbe strong Keekwa.* forts to the east We are still In ignorance whether these positions, if actually taken, were held, and also as to whether they are now being used as aids for further as­ saults. or whether assaults have now ceased for the present. We have little reason to think that any one of tbe main chain of forts Is now in Japanese occupation. The fact that both sides are losing confidence is a striking evi­ dence of tbe desperate fighting around the place. Tbe Russians feel that they cunnot much longer resist tbe desperate attack. Tbe Japanese fear they cannot batter down tbe indomit­ able defense. There have been outpost skirmishes between tbe armies of Oyama and Kuropatkin, but no serious fighting. Tbe Japs took Da Paas, about fortyfive miles southeast of Mukden. But its defense was not aecioualy attemptportance Oyama's troops were still concentrated, at last reports, just north y of Liaoyang and at Yen tai. Thia be­ ing so another big battle la not soon imminent, for two arm les cannot fight when they are twenty-five miles apart Liaoyang is being fortified by the Japs on Its north side. When these works are completed tbe town will be a perfect stronghold, for Kuropatkin already had fortified It on Its soutbe.n and eastern sides. The plan of the upon its own ascendancy.

The railroad around Lake Bxlkil has finally been completed. Prince KhUkoff, director of railways, has done himself proud. Communications be­ tween European Russia and tbe far east have been better sustained than was thought jmsalble at the outbreak of the war by either military experts or railway men. But uereafter the railway must transport not only com­ munications, clothing, re-enforcements and hospital supplies, but also food. Tbe Manchurian territory south of Mukden is fertile and generally culti­ vated. North of that town little food Is produced.

VOLUME XXXII OWN THEIR OWN HALL. There has been a feeling for some time among tho members of Lodge No. 36, I. O. O. F. that some move ought to be made toward the acquisition of a hall of their own. The subject has been discussed quite freely of late. At the regular meeting Oct. 6 the subject was again brought up. After a few remarks some one made a motion, which was quicxly seconded, that the lodge buy the hall now occu­ pied, the lease of which expires in July next. There was a purchase clause in the lease which gave the lodge an option on the property fur a staled sum, 9800 until the lease ex­ pired. The vote being unanimous the trustees, Oran Price and Frank Rarick, were authorized to go ahead and close the deal, which was accordingly done, and at the next meeting, Oct. 13, the brothers wore a self-satisfied smile as they realized that for the first time in the history of the order in Nashville the lodge was called to order in a home all their own. With the improvements contemplated Lodge No. 36 hopes in the near future to have one of the cosiest lodge rooms In town. BUSINESS DIRECTORY: SwMtay.

Enclosed you will find a clipping from the Boise Daily Statesman of Sept. 25th,.which was written by the governor of the state after making a trip into Thunder mountain over the new wagon road, inspecting the one of the greatest in the United States today, and this article giving a good description of existing circum­ stances al the present time might be of Interest to our readers Geo. Wertz. “lu a recent address Governor Mor­ rison remarked that it was a high privilege to be an American citizen. The governor did not claim that the saying waa original, but it might have been. He might have gone farthet and said that the American citizen was the most fortunate man on earth. For proof of this »tatement be could refer to condition* at Rcsscvclt, the great Thunder Mountainmining camp, which many of the shrewdest mining men in the country believe to be the center of the most magnificent mineral region ever exploited. In Roosevelt there is no law. To be sure there is a justice of the peace and an able and level-headed justice he is. But ho has had only one case in two years, and that was an action for the collection of a disputed debt. It involved a sum exceeding the lithit which may be sued for in a justice court, but the principals, having no other means of settling the dispute, paid no heed to such a trifle. The citizens of Roosevelt, good Americans all, have an unwritten code of their own, civil and criminal. A man must pay his debts and behave himself or he can not stay in camp. No “bad men" are wanted and no loafers are tolerated. There i* plenty of work for overy man and every ruuu IhUf or any hitching post in camp with perfect safety. If the animal is left hitched too long some humane citizen will see that ills ted. Nobody would think of stealing the beasL The men who conduct the affairs of the camp respect the right* of all and insist that newcomers shall do like­ wise. There is no loud talk. Threats are unknown. The ten commandments are understood by the citizens and in­ terpreted as the community thinks fit. Horse feed is one of the camp lux­ uries. Hay commands 1125 a ton and threatens to go up.

DICTIONARIES NOT PERFECT Collection of a Chicagoan Shows That Even Orthographers Err— A curious collection of old diction­ aries occupies a top shelf in a Chlcsr roans library, says the Tribane of that city. These dictionaries derive their Interest from the errors they contain. Thus, in the Bailey dictionary of 1674, the word "collbus" Is defined as follows: “Collbus—A humming bird, which makes a noise like a whirlwind, though it Is no bigger than a fly; feeds on dew, has an admirable beauty of feathers, and a scent as sweet as that of musk or ambergix" The same authority thus describes the loriot or oriole: "Loriot—a bird that, being looked upon by one that has yellow jaundice, cures the person, and dies itself.” Delplno's dictionary (1703) says of the leopard: "Lleupard, or leopard— A yellow beast exceedingly swift, sub­ tle, and fierce, and of such a sweet savor that it allures other beasts to it, by which means they are caught and devoured.” piUC PECKHAM’S will.

Tbe lighting commenced early In the morning. A bombardment of five hours* duration forced back the Jap-i anese lines along almost tbe entire front and ojiened the way for nn 1dI fantry attack. About noon the Japan­ ese begnn to retire.

Fears are expressed in St. Petersburg that Kuropatkin lias undertaken a move­ ment too great for his army. It is reported that tbe health and gen­ eral condition of the Rusaiau troops at tbe front are remarkably good.

There is to be no new registration in townships and vill­ ages. Wm. Woodard this week completed cement walks in front of A. L. Rasey’s barber shop on Main street. The long stretch of walk along J. B. Mix's pro­ perty on Sherman street was complet­ ed last week and Is a great improve­ ment.

They have beer, coming so fast during the past couple of weeks that oar* enough to ship them could not be secured. The price ranges from twenty-five to thirty-five cents per hundred. The larger part of those taken in here are shipped to Chicago. J. C. Haring of Massillon, Ohio, and Wm. Shaffer of Cleveland, Ohio, were in town last week and were taken to Bellevue last Friday, where they en­ deavored to secure leases of land on which it is thought coal exists. They were unsuccessful in securing leases inasmuch as those who own the land have visions of immense wealth and will not lease. These gentlemen, who are expert coal men, are of the opin­ ion, however that a coal deposit exists there but to what proportions they are not able to stale, as only mining will tell that. A farmer near Union City amazes his neighbors by keeping apple*, pears, peaches, grapes, etc., in their natural state for several years. He now has apples and grapes grown in 1901 which can hardly be distinguished •from this year’s product. He now gives out his method of preservation, which is very simple.

GRAND RAPIDS DIVISION The great battle of last week took place on a line between fifty-five and sixty miles long, and tbe line of battie proper, where the fighting was most severe aud continuous, was twentyfive or thirty miles long. The Hun river on the north and west and the Tnitse on the east mid south mark out the field in a gcuerel wny. The Schill river, frequently mentioned in the die­ patches, bisects this field on an east and west line, and moat of the fighting thus far -has been south of It. Tbe bat­ tle may posalbiy be known aa the bat­ tle of the Schill river. Gen. Kuropatkin brought Into play every pound of military strength that Russia "has available In the far East. Since tbe battle of Linoynng be has l»en re-enforced by the First and Sixth corps, and possibly also by the Fourth Don Cossack division. A low estimate of bla strength is 200,000 men. It may be 250.000. ’^With all that be has been gradually but surely beaten back, and tbe chances are greater now than they were at a corresponding stage -of the battle of Liaoynug that hift army will be partially dismembered. Then his divisions were closely concentrated for mutual support. Now they are much more widely spread out . On the last day of September corre­ spondents at Mukden innde note of great military activity, but their pre­ diction of n movement southward was not credited. Oct. 2 Geu. Kuropatkin issued his famous order for the ad­ vance. though It was not till a week later that Europe learned of it. In the meantime the Russians had been en­ gaged In pushing in the Japanese out­ posts. This preliminary stage of the struggle culminated with the driving of the Japanese outposts out of Bentsiaputte. The small map gives n roughly ac­ curate idea of tbe battle field strategy. Three heavy black lines are to be seen on the map marked "Oct 8 (Jap screen),’’ “Oct 10," and "Oct 14."'

Kuroki seemed to expect to bag this expedition bodily, but if he did it no report has yet arrived. The country here is broken with small hills, nnd there seems to have been a large numtier of separate engagements on Tuesday aud Wednesday. On Wednes­ day Kuroki received re-enforcements.! and Thursday he sent n strong force I under Prince Kanin to cut off the Rus­ sians north of Bcnsihu. This force formed a wedge between the Russian left an! ••enter, but the left seems ta have escaped from it. and the center was too hard pressed itself to strike a counter blow. West of the railroad the fighting was more distinctly favorable to the Japan­ ese. Here It was that thirty-five Rus­ sian guns wore captured. West of the Hun Gen. Oku seems to have cleared the country of Russians to a joint within ten or twelve miles of Mukden. In tbe number of men engaged. In the casualties of Ixjth sides, and In the decisiveness of the Japanese victory the Battle nt Yental surpasses that at Liaoynng. But it does not anywhere equal the first conflict In Interest.

At the same time yerenforcements were sent for­ ward from the triangle. The retreat­ ing outposts and re-enforeementa met atxthe line marked "Oct. 10." On the following day the heavy fighting be­ gan. We can most easily get an Idea of the fighting by considering the KnrokJ,. Nodzu and Oku armies separately. Ku­ roki has the right, occupying the re­ gion at the bend of the Tnitse.- where: that river turns from n southerly to n westerly course. Nodzu is in the cen­ ter, bolding the region from the Yen­ tal station on the railroad. Oku Is west of tbe railroad, holding both sides of the Hun river. GENERAL GRIPPENB11BG.

Complete figures are lacking on the Japanese losses, but they will be large, although smaller than those of Russia. The extent of the slaughter has shocked both Japan and Russia. In Toklo the appalling tragedy is consid­ ered to be a strong appeal for peace. The Japanese, usually quick to cele­ brate victory for their arms, are re­ ceiving the news In a subdued spirit, although it contains tbe report of a sweeping success tor Oyama’s forces. A member of the diplomatic corp* makers n strong argument in favor of an adjustment of the conflict. . In Russia tho defeat of Kuropat­ kin's armies la making the war more unpopular than over, mid fears are ex­ pressed openly that Japan's success will cause Chinn to abandon her neu­ trality nnd come out openly in favor of the Japanese.

Dr. Pierce’s Pleasant PeHeta are a mild The sinking of a Brittish fishing boat by the Russian Baltic squadron la but another act showing that tbe Russians are fast losing their heads. The continual reverses they have ex­ perienced since the war begun may be partly responsible for their hasty acts. This latest offence must be almost un­ bearable to the English people and one of tbe most influential newspapers of Great Britain suggests that England should send warships to accompany the Russian fleet to see that no more ■•ch crimes are committed and says: “The Brittish government, however, can’t run tbe risk of tbe repetition of an outrage which might send a big liner full of men', women and children to the bottom of the sea.” The wave of senti­ ment in the United States is rapidly tensing from the Russians to tbe Jap­ anese and that it should and does is only to be expected, when by such gross blunders they endanger all ships that may happen to be within their reach, and do other undiplomatic things which even “heathen Chinese" would better understand. The Japanone are gaining the respect of all ssations by their sensible acts of war­ fare and must win in the end. this year It is said that in Germany, where potatoes are the staple crop, they are almost a failure, and while that country annually exports large quantities of potatoes to America, they will not this year have enough fur home consumption, and will be obliged to import them from other coun­ triesThis condition may have a tendency to stimulate prices here, as it is well known that those western states which have always given a good crop are turning out less Chan half a crop. At any rate, the price has re­ mained well up so far here and while it may not drop, yet it is though: the ruling price as soon as the farmers begin to market them will be some­ where close to twenty-five cents per bushel. Some authorities state that the com­ mercial and Industrial outlook Is not so reassuring just now aa it wa* at any time during the past few years. While making every allowance for strikes and the presidential election it must be admitted by the most optim­ istic that one of these mysterious waves of business depression is slowly gathering force and volume. There is nothing alarming in the situation just at present. There is no appre­ hension of or sign of a financial panic and its concomitant evils. We are, however, probably about to experi­ ence the inevitable reaction from stock watering and stock inflation, trust mongering and strike monger­ ing, from wildcat speculation and the exploitation of worthless or exhaust­ ed mines. Unfortunately it is not tbe unconscionable rascals who have prof­ ited by public plunder aud by the pub­ lic credulity that will suffer by this industrial demoralization and busineas dislocation. They have feath­ ered their nests and will sit down u> hatch out more schemes of impudent robbery while their dupes are moult­ ing. The political campaign is in full blast, and he would be a political prophet of astonishing prescience who could predict the ultimate issue at the polls next month. Both parties are, as usual, confident, but to an unbi­ ased mind there is no fear hut what Theodore Roosevelt will be elected president, yet there are those •peripa­ tetic observers who are confident that Judge Parker will be the victor, which is just according to tbe politi­ cal arit from which they were sent forth to observe the condition of the political deluge. The campaign in the state is keeping up Its warmth and both sides are claiming as usual. The fact is, we believe, the election in this state is rather uncertain, as Michigan has been known to °.op before and it may be time for it to do that stunt this year.

Powers Delivered Ad­ dress at Opera House Saturday Afternoon. The re publicans had their inning in the village last Saturday when Hon. Perry P. Powers, auditor-general of the stale of Michigan, addressed a meeting at the opera house. The crowd, while net as large as on tbe occasion of Candidate Ferris’ visit here, waa attentive and listened to an able pres­ entation of tbe issues of the campaign. The cold, raw weather no doubt had a tendency to keep manv away. The speaker was ably introduced ‘ by Senator C L Gla>gow, who spoke briefly oflprimsry reform and his re­ lation to it iu the previous campaign. He said that in desling <fith such a question as primary reform ail men should regard it us all important to him personally and vote as though it was his vote and his alone that de­ cided tbe issue; and that he realized that every honest man was, before a partisiau, an American citizen: that although we differed in some respects, all joined in enhancing the welfare of the nation at large, and inasmuch ad we differ in opinion, so much are we human, and being human are often mistaken. , In speaking of the Issues in the leg­ islature two years ago there were many bills brought up for consider­ ation to which he could not honestly give his sanction. The first of these was primary reform in the shape of the Colby bill. He said he could not sanction a measure which would place his wisdom above that of all the states­ men since our government was organ­ ized, that ho could not take the re­ sponsibility upon himself of saying t<> two or three thousand people, "Here Is a system of which I know nothing and ye<> know nothing but you must take it because I have said so.” He did not wish this to convey primary reform but that this of which the -Colby bill waa the embodiment, waa not the desirable article. in tLe second case tbe appointment by the governorfofTTbomas Navin, ex-convict, to the board of control of Jackson prison, did not meet his approval. His thoughts turned to honest, hard­ working men, who have reared and educated farf lies, who were deserving of such an honor and the thought of a man who bad had a prison training stepping over these and assuming tbe honor, made him vote no Tbe next was a bill to take *250,000 from the state treasury to erect on the streets of Lansing a monument to those loyal men wbA bled for our free­ dom and liberty. He was told that if he refused to vote “yes” to this he would lose the support of every sol­ dier. He believed it fartberest from his thought or wish to detract one particle from their merited honor or to take one star from their wellearned crown of victory and glory, but when he thoug’. l of that monu­ ment in W ashington which sends forth golden streams like sunbeams and enters thousands of humble homes all over this broad land, paying rent, doctors’ bills, buying food and cloth­ ing he felt that no true son of blue would condemn him because he would not force the government to reach down into the treasury and take out *250,000 for a monument of marble, for no monument of burnished gold or col­ umns of Parian marble can add to lhe glory or homage which every Ameri­ can gladly lays at their feet. He said be did wrong in voting ''do" to this. The next issue was that of establish­ ing In Jackson prison, a plant for the manufacture of binder twine to be sold to farmers before March 1st and after lhe first of June it should be sold to the first who wished to buy it. Now he said, that often times binder twine of June than tbe 1st of March and that if the farmer should buy his twine the 1st of March at 11 cents per pound and June 1st tbe local dealers were selling it el 9 oente, he would not feel greatly benefltted.

Primary reform de­ mands a direct nooslnatfon claiming that this la less expensive and more satisfactory. Prof. Farris said in his speach here that during the past four years primary reform had been agi­ tated but Mr. Powers claims that it was not concerned in any political platform up until two years ago, but those counties that have experimented with primary reform say it is unsuc­ cessful and undesirable.

The president of tbe democratic state committee of Florida to Mr. Powers says that it ia a failure there and that it Is not free from corruption but rath­ er more easily corrupted. In our own state those districts which have pri­ mary reform are dissatisfied. The Grand Rapids Herald, which two years ago first abused and then re­ viled any man who refused to favor primary reform, came out with a glu­ ing head line “ Weak Spot in Primary Reform” In which they pleaded for a change in the system saying tbe law was not as good as the old, that men were nominated, who at any other canrns. men would not dare to nominate, cost 50c per box Would not interest you if you're looking for a guaranteed salvo for sores, burns or piles.

M. K. Kaine of Mintimes worse there than they were be­ fore and this year the Minnesota plat­ form of both democrats and republi­ cans are silent on the question of pri­ mary reform. The Milwaukee Democrat, one of the most Important papers in Wisconsin, is very much opposed to primary re­ form. Colby says, “I am not a kicker and never was but It costs more now to be engaged in politicly than ever before.” In regard to lhe origin of the Aus­ tralian ballot system be says Mr. Fer­ ris was mistaken In saying that it was given by a democratic administration but with one unimportant event it was given by the republican administra­ tion of 1889. He says that whatever system the republicans may use they will never bring young voters into their ranks unless they show them­ selves clean politicians and free from the system of bribery. He says he never was in sympathy with the prin­ ciple that a boy should be ashamed to be what his father was, that he is what his father was and wishes his sons to be but if the party does not do these things which they may admire they can never be. Therefore he wishes the faith of the republican party to be marked by truth and right and the highest ideas of honesty and good citizenship. He believes that demo­ crats and republicans are moving in the direction of tbe best good of the country and that if we are to make tomorrow beiter.than today, to follow the fulfillment of the great principles evolved in the inception of our great government, we must vote for those officers who are honest men. That if we desire the same success which at­ tended the past 4 years we must vote for Theodore Roosevelt for president and Fred M. Warnei for governo r.

He swallowed an ounce of carbolic acid sometime between the hours of four and five on that morning and died witbin a few minutes. He bad not been feeling well of late and seemed to show a disposition of despondency, often declaring that no one cared for him. He had been rest­ less nigbU and could not rest after midnight and Mrs. Lockhart, who had become somewhat accustomed to his sleeplessness, paid little attention to him Friday morning when he became restless, thinking perhaps that it was something he would get over all right. At about four o’clock he awoke her by groans. She asked him if be was sick and he replied he waa not and said that no one cared for him but her and she would be belter off .if be was out of the way. She talked with him and be became quiet again and she fell asleep, but was soon awakened again by him getting out of bed. She thought nothing of it as it was his custom to arise early and she fell asleep again. She did not sleep long, however, as In a few minutes she was awakened by Mr. Lockhart run­ ning into the room and throwing him­ self on the bed, at the same time drop­ ping a bottle and saying good-bye to her. She arose at once, and looking at the bottle realized what he had done She spoke to him but got no response and at once sent for aid, but he was dead in a few minutes, before anyone arrived. She is of the opinion that he went to the barn for the drug for when she arose she found the barn door open and was positive it was closed when they retired. No reason can be given for the rash oct further than despondency. The theory that financial troubles caused him to be despondent is discredited by Mrs. Lockhart, who says that while be was in debt, he was not in so heavy but whaLho could have gotten out all right. She thinks it was caused by brooding over the relations existing between himself and his children by his first wife, as be bad often remarked that they thought nothing of him and would not write tc him. Mr. Lockhart has lived on the farm, where be died, many years and while he had many peculiarities he was re­ spected by all. A few years ago be Tuesday on business. Mrs. E.

Switzerland, clockmaker recently Invented and patented a unique alarm clock. It is simply a new and original application of the alaim to the clocks made In the Black forest possess­ ing a certain peculiarity which he desig­ nates the Alpine waker. Whenever In the solitudes of the high pastures, tbe •owberda of the Tyrol and Switzerland desire to communicate with one another over distances too far for the voice to carry they make use of a sort of wooden drum, upon which they strike with a wooden hammer, thus producing a sound which i* distinctly audible over a long distance. This custom is the father of tbe Idea. Just above the dial on the clock will be found a wooden hammer which, actuated by the alarm movasnent beats upon a thin board, raised an tnch from the face of the clock, as upon • drum producing a sound of remarkable intensity, more thrilling indeed than ’ that of the ordinary metal bell. । I I ' Ethiopia 1* wealthy in resource be­ yond tbe power of any man to calculate.

Grandfather, however, thinking that it would please agreeable looking old lady, who was in­ troduced to me as Mrs. Humphries, and who Invited us home to dine with her. She wa* accompanied by a young lady, with remarkably red hair, and strangelooking eye*, whom she called Judith. "We went. Cousin John and I, home with them to a large brick house in n retired part of th* town. After dinner Cousin John and th* young lady, whom he called Mlaa Porter, began to talk about mesmerism. I had never heard of It before—did not know the meaning of the word. Suddenly she turned to me, and asked me how I should like to be mesmerized. I answered that I did not know what It was. ‘Oh, it's the strang­ est sensation in the world,' aaid John. This young lady is very, clever at It.’ "After some little persuasion. I con­ sented. but very unwillingly. Then they took me into a dark room. Misa Porter aat down in a chair. Ou the wall at the back was hung a black curtain, and around her shoulders was draped a black cloth. Upon the table in front of her was a lamp, in which wan fixed a pow­ erful reflector, that threw a dazzling light upon her face. She seated me op­ posite to her. and bade me fix my eyes upon her*. I did so. Never can I for­ get tbe effect. I was once taken tn a wild beast show. The glare of her wide­ ly distended eyes was exactly like that which I had seen there in the tiger's. It fastened upon mine, and held them fas­ cinated. I had no power to shift them; and as I gazed, spellbound, upon hers, they gr~dually dilated until they seemed to be two enormous globes of fire, sus­ pended in utter darkness. Then I lost all recollection. “It appears that while in thia condi­ tion you are compelled to answer truth­ fully any question put to you. and to execute upon awaking tany act you may have promised to perform while in the mesmeric state. I believe that in my trance they extracted from me every par­ ticular of my uncle's will. “When I awoke I found myself In the dining room, lying upon a sofa, and Mrs. Humphries holding a vinaigrette to my dazed.

CHAPTER XXVI. With a faint cry. Clara shrank back, shuddering, whilst I stood motionless for a moment, transfixed with dismay, gaz­ ing upon onr mutual enemy. “My appearance seems a pleasure more startling than agreeable." aaid Judith, with that stinging irony that was to me worse ttinn her most fiendish mood. "One would suppose you were about to leave the house without on* word of adieu to your host or hostess. But we do not part with our guests so easily.” Instinctively I had drawn near to Clara, a* though I would protect her. She had sunk into a chair, trembling, not daring to cast a glance at Judith, who had now advanced into the room. - “You do not seem to be aware, Misa Clara, that this gentleman and I are well acquainted. He baa not told you of our connection, I presume?" “No, no; for hpaven's sake, do not tell her. if you hare any mercy, I Implore you!” I interrupted, throwing myself up­ on my knees before her. 1 m’ght as well have pleaded to a hungry tigress. Without deigning to no­ tice my supplication, she still went on, in the same strain of eold-blooded mock­ ery. “Perhaps you are not aware that this lover of yours Is my husband!” For a moment Clara looked stunned, bewildered, unable to realize the idea those words contained: but as I made a movement towarda her, she uttered a low cry, and shrank cowering into a corner. “No. no!" t' exclaimed. In a voice of anguish. "I dare you to deny it!” cried Judith. “Deny it if you can!** “I cannot dwell upon th* dreadful story.

But Judith stood with her hand resting upon the table, cold and defiant, never deigning to her visitor even a salutation. “And you are Silas Canrton?" she said, fixing upon me a strangely Intense look. “That Is the name I am known by.” I “And is this woman your wife?" she asked, pointing to Judith. I paused for oue moment. I could feel Judith's fierce eyes were upon me; then I answered quietly, “She is.” Madame Berne paused again, and turned her cold glance upon her: it was met by one as fearless as her own. “The sum of $2,500 a year is settled upon you as an annuity.” she said, again turning to me as the door closed upou Mr. Porter.

Co. The battle of Shakhe River, as Mar­ shal Oyama officially name* It. wore Itself out on Oct. 20. The bard fight­ ing began on Oct. 0 with no attack on Kuroki, commanding the Japanese right The battle lasted eleven days. 'The Russians, by their own reports, lc*t 12,000 killed and 56,000 wounded. Tbe Japs casualties are not known. Strategically, according to the Chi­ cago Tribune's view, tbe battle was an unqualified triumph for the Japs. Ku­ ropatkin started south from Mukden on Oct 4 with the avowed purpose of rolling back the Japanese and reliev­ ing Port Arthur. His exact words were: "Now the moment to go to meet the enemy has come, and the time has arrived for us to compel the Japanese to do our will, for the forces of the Manchurian army are strong enongh for a forward movement.” The ontcom* of the Russian attempt was that they failed to gain a rood of ground toward Port Arthur. Indeed, the Jap lines are fifteen miles further, northward than were on the (Lay of Kuropatkin’s proclamation. Kuropat­ kin’s purpose—to relieve Port Arthur —was utterly defeated. Oyama's pur-, pose—to prevent the relief of Port Ar­ thur—was entirely successful. Stra­ tegically, therefore, the victory indubi­ tably rests with the Nipponese. Tactically the result was not so de­ cisive. On Oct 9 and 10 .Kuroki gave ground after a slight resistance. On the llth the buttle raged six miles north of Yental and hung in the bal­ ance. Hard fighting continued on the i 12th. On the 13th the operations dis­ tinctly favored the Japanese. Oyama reached hl* high water mark on the 14th, when the Japanese defense stormed across the Shakhe and the Russians seemed almut to retreat to I tlie Hun. several miles north. ' Up to this point tbe Japs had cap­ tured a large number of guns, vari- . oqsly reported at from seventy to 112. and had lost none. Gen. Oku. In com­ mand of the Japanese left, was doing the hardest and most successful light­ ing. Opposite him lay the Russian right, which was desperately clinging to the railroad. If Oku could shove this Muscovite flank off tbe railroad to lhe eastward Kuropatkin's entire army would lose Its main line of com­ munication. Oku bent his army Into the shape of a hook and tried to Insert the tip of the book across the railroad behind the Russians. Maj. Gen. Yamada's mixed brigade was tbe tip of this hook. At first he tore up things on the other side, but tbe tip was not strong enough, nnd a sudden Russian blow separated It from the shank* The net result, fourteen Jap guns captured. 1,500 men put out of action, and the remaining 4,000 fighting their way back to the main body. This exploit occurred on . the evening of Oct. HI Simultaneously the Russians made their gallant attack ou Lone Tree hill, a precipitous and tactically valuable eminence on the Shakhe River. The Japanese thereafter failed in several efforts to retake Lone Tree hill. From the evening or the 16th to the end of the fight tlie current set against the Japs; they gained no further positive advantages, though on the night of the 17th they successfully repulsed a , general Russian assault on the whole । Japanese line. Tactically, therefore, the advantage ' Iles with the Japanese, though not overwhelinlngly. They captured it . considerably larger number of guns than they lost and at the end of tbe fighting they occupied the liatilefleld । from which they pushed their enemy I Why is It that the Japanese, neither .

One night whkn his family was away from home he naked me to spend the night at his house. People at Nashville noticed that we were together a great deal The result was that he was to be tried before the conference at its annual meeting at Jackson. "Mr. Welch said I must save him. He dictated some letters that I copied and which were sent to the conference. He suggested the wording of others, and I wrote them to the conference. They were to the effect that he was Innocent of all wrong as fnr as I knew. I had to do ft. He threatened me. He also took me before n notary public named Hiirendson. There 1 made affidavit that Welch had never done me wrong, that ns far us I knew his conduct toward me hud always been proper. He said that I must write the letters, that he must have them. I wrote them because I feared him and also wanted to save him. Adopted Novel Scheme. 1 also did other letter writing at his dictation, said Miss Caven. ' When we a ere living together and the tlcUlious certificate had been made out. he aald it would make the thing look bet­ ter if 1 had some mail addressed to me us 'Mrs. M. J. Prentice.'

"I certainly do. 1 saw him pay her an instalment on several occasions." "What explanation did you make to Dr. Chamberlain and Mrs. Hammond?"

"It Is at the home of Mrs. Hammond In Jones street." "Who pays for Its care?" "1 do. I earn only £1 a week, but I pay her $2 for caring for the child." "Did Welch contribute to its support after it was born'" "Yes. he did. He contributed for about four months, when people openly said he was the father of the child. Then he refused to continue paying." "Do you swear positively that he Is the only man with whom you ever had such relations?" demanded counsel. "I swear it most positively. He Is the only one.” "Did you not finally tell Dr. Chamber­ lain that Welch was the father of tee child rNote Remains Unpaid.

G GULDEN NORMANS’ FEAR COMICAL! / Perhaps Bobbed. The greatest obstacle to agreeable pedostrianism in Normandy is the pro­ verbial Norman distrust, says Book­ lovers* Magazine. The Norman’s dis­ trust of tbe stranger takes the form of a comical sort of terror of being finan­ cially duped—cheated or swindled, not to say robbed—probably because he is himself perpetually engaged in finan­ cial duping. If the tramper does not succeed in disarming, by one means or another Norman distrust, his trampteg life in Normandy will be made a burden to him. Norman distrust can be disarmed, but it cannot be disarmed in an instant, a 1’Americaine. It takes .time to do it—the Norman is the last person In the world to stand and de­ liver—and there is no social device to drinking for courteously consuming time.

Tbe scare wns a reaLone^’jEhgiand and Rumdn did not so nearly fight simply because of the fishing trawler Incident. The lion nnd the bear hated each other long before that happened, and will continue to hate each other long ‘after It is forgotten. Since tbe Crimean war they have been perpetual­ ly growling at each other; continually showing their fangs; occasionally rais­ ing their paws to strike. Neither haa ever dared to tnru his eyes away from tbe other. The Dogger bank affair merely evoked a display of the hostile feeling whlcli constantly exists. As for the happening itself, Russia was erftlrely tn the wrong, and dis­ played an unparalleled Ignorance of sea manners, sea custom nnd sea ef­ ficiency. It is said that the Russian boats are commanded by cavalry of­ ficers and manned by farmers. This seems to be true practically, if not lit­ erally. Tbe firing on the English trawlers began at 1 o’clock Sunday morning, Two or three hundred shots were Bred In about twenty minutes' time. Two fishermen were killed’ and eighteen wounded. One fishing boat was sunk. No attempt was made by Hie attack­ ing fleet to rescue the wounded fish­ ermen, although a Russian bout stnld on tbe scene until 6 o’clock In the morning. ’The hist shot was fired ut the trawler Kent ut 7 a. m. Tbe Brit­ ish government immediately demand­ ed from Russia; (1) An a|>ology. (2i An indemnity for tbe families of the killed nnd wounded fishermen, (3» Tbe punishmeat of the Russian officers. re^jtonslbie for tbe offense, ill An adequate guarantee that there ■ball be uo repetition ot the act. Russia consented to requirements one. two nnd four, but held out against three. It would not agree to punish the- responsible officers. It said Its sense of sovereignty would not permit it to comply with such a request. Great Britain answered that tbe request must l»c complied with, otherwise the Brit­ ish fleet would not permit the passage of the Russians through the Straits of Gibraltar Into the Mediterranean. At this point the tension wns very great. France acted as a cruse of oil for the troubled waters aud contributed to tbe eventual jieaeefiil settlement. Rojestvensky’s explanation, tbe Chi­ cago Tribune declared, consisted of an extraordinary lie. but the He undoubt­ edly averted a disagreeable alternative for the government—war or Muscovite humiliation. The admiral stolidly maintained that he had actually been nttnck<41 by two torpedo boats. One of his officers—Prince KeretelH—went further, nnd said that there were eight hostile torj>edo boats. Rojestrensky would have attained a greater degree ot plausibility by making all stories tally. Rojestvensky’s rej>ort raised a ques­ tion of fact between Great Britain and Russia. Tbe facts must first be in­ vestigated to see hnw they Ik*. A mixed tribunal of admirals will decide whether or not the Russian squadron was attacked by torpedo boats. A huge mass ot evidence will be sifted. A large number of dejiositions will be taken. Finally the tribunal will de­ cide that there was no evidence that torpedo boats had attacked the Rus­ sians. By tbe time this decision is xreachetl the incident will have lost its burning public interest. Russia will quietly apologize, pay an Indemnity, guarantee Immunity from like occur­ rences In the future, and punish (per­ haps) the offending officers. Every­ thing will go on os l>e(ore. except for tbe unfortunate fishermen and their families. While the Baltic squadron has as yet After ten days of comparative quiet ■long the Shakbe river there are signs that the two armies are again coming together. Tbe Russians claim to be the aggressors in certain places, but dispatches from correspondents at Gen­ eral Kuroki’s headquarters1 state that the Russians have-now been driven out of their last poWflon south of the Shakbe river. In the opinion of ths Chicago Record-Herald, it would ap­ pear that the Russians are no longer strong enough to take the offensive on a large scale, while tbe Japanese have as yet shown no desire to push their way further to the north. There Is sure to ite a great deal of scattered fighting before winter sets In. but whether there will be auotber pitched battle Is uncertain. Tbe battle of tbe Shakbe river will be memorable In bistoi^y for the econ­ omy of Ilves with which the Japan­ ese fought It. In the battle of Llaoyang. although the Japanese had to charge again and again upon Russian Intrencbments. the losses of the Rus­ sians were the heavier—the proiKirtlon being about four Japanese killed and wounded to five Russians. In the battle of tbe Shakhe tbe figures thus far available would Indicate that the Russian losses were at least three, and possibly five or six, times as great as the Japanese. Concerning the losses, we have two facts upon which we can absolutely re­ ly. because both come from Japanese official sources, and Japanese official statements have not mice during the war been open to the slightest suspi­ cion as to their literal truth. The first is that the total Japanese cnsnalties— killed and wonnded—numl>ered 15,879 officers and men. The second is that the total number of Russian dead burled by tbe Japanese on tbe field wns 13.333. Now in the Japanese ar­ my. for which we have detailed fig­ ures. the ratio of killed to wounded was as one to six. and if that -same ratio should apply to the Russians ‘their total casualties on the basis of the dead buried on tbe field would number about 00.000. The Russian official statement places the total number of killed, wounded nnd missing at 800 officers and 43.000 men. This sets the lowest limit of the losses, but unfortunately we can­ not feel confident that It Js the whole truth. An earlier figure puqiortlng to come from an official report of General Kuropatkin's, but not verified, puts the wonnded alone at 53J1G8. We have also tbe estimate of a correspondent at Mukden, who places tbe dead at 8.000 and the wounded nt 40.000. It he was as much too low on the wounded ns on tbe dead (using the Japanese fig­ ure of burials as the tert I. the total Russian casualties by this reckoning wonld be nearly 75.000.’ Reports from Port Arthur Indicate renewed attack on the Rlblutig and Keekwan forts just north of the city. Tbe end of the siege may very possibly be approaching. There nre Indications that tbe resistance of the fortress Is fast weakening nnd cannot be sus­ tained much longer. The Japanese are creeping iu on all sides, taking an ad­ vance |Kist here, another one there, a minor fort here, and a few machine guns yonder. They are always closing in. never receding.

Before the fire in his somber bedroom sat Kites Canton, watching sadly the flickering flames blown about by the draught that came roaring down the huge chimney.

WAR FOR A A handsome lady coal agent has been selling fuel to Holly dealers this season yang. told by Frederick Palmar In Galliar's Weekly. The other was tha ascount by tbe Associated Pram eonw•pondent of tbe operations about Port Arthur during the last three months, Both of these stories will hereafter rank among the classics of war corre­ spondence. The Port Arthur story leaves one In­ voluntarily with the feeling that war, though a horrible and brutal thing, ta yet redeemed from part of Its ugliness by tbe lustrous heroism, .self-sacrifice, and devotion of its victims. Was there ever a more wonderful alory told of forgetfulness of seirand love of coun­ try than this account of the Japanese soldiers who fell mortally wounded on the slopes of Port Arthur's forta. smil­ ing because they felt they had done their part well? Or was there ever a practice of cooler daring than that of the Japanese pioneers who. sent for­ ward to cut tbe entanglement? which prevented the Infantry charges., tum­ bled over as dead before the wires, where they waited until night fall, then stealthily crawled on their backs to the barbed wire and nipped It with their pincers? Tbe enthusiasm among the privates and under officers was brought out In the .great charge witbout orders. Two attacks had been repulsed on tbe flnornIng of Aug. 2L Gen. Nogl was in a quandary He called’ bls oflcera to­ gether. The troops were left to their own devices, and spontaneously by tens and twenties rushed up the blood stained bill. Twice they were rolled back, but the third time made their effort* good. The Japanese authorities have ac­ knowledged that Jn the early part of June their first-class battleship, tbe Yaahlma. 12.300 tons, struck n mine and sunk. Tbe fact was reported at the time unofficially, but was officially uenled by the Japanese government The dental was justifiable, for strategi­ cal deceit 1s legitimate in war. In the battle of Aug. 10 therefore, Togo had but four battleships, against tbe Rus­ sians’ six, and was outnumbered. How­ ever. he whipped the Muscovites badly, scattering some of them and driving five of their battleships back to Port Arthur, where they hare since been rather severely damaged by the fire of Nogi'a guns. If the fleet attempt* an­ other sortie it will be far easier work for Togo than it waa on Aug. 10. Id their statement about tbe Yaahl­ ma It would not be surprising if the Japs had been guilty of another gen­ tle little deception. Though tbe Ya­ ahlma was sunk in June, by this time it may hare been raised and repaired. When Rojestvenaky reaches the far east be should not be at all surprised if he meet* five first-class battleships under Togo. But whether Togo has four battleships or five, be probably Mil not have much trouble with Rojeatvenaky and his cavalrymen. General Nogl announced to his army Oct 25 tbat there would be a bom­ bardment of tbe whole eastern ridge of the Port Arthur defenses prelimi­ nary to an attempt at its'capture. Thia bombardment began the next day, and under cover of the fire the Japanese regiments drove the Russians out of' their trenches on Bungshu nnd Rihlung Mountains, and on the southern part of Pohslan Mountain. The artillery prac­ tice continued for three days longer, and on the night of the twenty-ninth through the network of trenches in front of the Keekwan forta. Right here our direct Information ends. It la probably true that even though the Japanese capture one of the forta on thia ridge they cannot hold It un­ less they capture al) nr nearly all of them. If they accomplish .this greater feat they will not. Indeed, have eaded the aiege, but they will have finished tbe heaviest part of the task. Certain forts along the seacoast southeast of Port Arthur will remain In Russian hands, although perhaps not tenable against land attack; also certain targe forts west of Port Arthur, the forts of the Tiger Tall Peninsula, and tbe hill forta at the end of the Llaotleahan Peninsula. In them General Btosaaei can continue hta desperate resists neo for a time longer. Of the situation on tbe Bhakbe River we beer but little.

PROSMBSSOFTBEWt llvln,* an* not The armies facing each other along the Sliakhe River are still marking time, and, if reports of the elaborat1-’ defensive works they are constructing ore true, they have no Immediate in­ tention . of doing anything else. Both armies are throwing up triple and quadruple lines of heavy defenses, protected in front by wire entangle­ ments, pits and mines. It would be n bloody task now for cither-force to drive the other out of its position. At Port Arthur -the Japanese are con­ tinuing their heavy attacks against the fortresses from northeast to northwest and west of the doomed city. With a singl" unimportant exception no of­ ficial information ns to progress ha# lately been given out since, but rumor would indicate that materia! gains have been made on the Rlhlung and Keek wan mountains north nnd north­ east of the city, nnd that the assault is now concentrating in the neighbor­ hood of the Etse forts on the west. The last fighting at Port Arthur of which we know anything wast over a week ngo. when the Japanese were repulsed in an assault on Fort Etse. and the Russians accidentally explod­ ed one of their own min-s under themselves. The Rvsdrins were si ill in possession of the main line of forts and Liuotlsiuin, but their outer works were all taken, and the Japanese par­ allels' were rapidly creeping In. The defenders are reduced to about r>.OX). One of Stqessel's favorite devices to nerve up his troops has been to w.iri them that if they fell Into Japan s hands they-would get no quarter. Of late Nogl lias l»ecn trying to disprove Stocssel's statement by feeding bls prisoners well, giving them food, to bacco. and clean clothing, nnd then Sliding them back by night Into Port Arthur to spread among their com­ rades the story of their treatment, in consequence; there have been n num­ ber of desertions, and the purpose of the rank and file of the Russian nrinv to hold out to ofeath has been weak­ ened.

Bis: “nd Yellow and, Under Proper Treatment, Full of Delight*. HANKSGIVING incomplete without the tur­ key, so also is it Incomplete withour the toothsome, if bumble, pump­ kin. No Thanks­ giving feast is properly ended unless it has had as its last course the pmqpkin pie of our grandmoth­ ers. Not the squash concern of these later days, which sometimes is as dry as a chip and other times as wet as n bog. and at al! times lacking in the true Thanksgiving flavor; but the big, thick, yellow pump­ kin pie with' the genuine New England taste and old-fashioned filling capacity. Bo the dinner ever so long and its courses elaborate beyond description, there ia al­ ways room at the end for a generous slice of grandma's pumpkin pie. The pumpkin, as yon may surmise, be­ longs to the gourd family. Just where It originated cannot be learned with any certainty, because in the early days rec­ ords of such things were not kept. Many varieties of it are cultivated susceaifully in both temperate nnd tropical cli­ mates, and in Southern Asia it is espe­ cially cultivated. There is no such thing as a wild pumpkin, ^he pl*pt accommo­ dates itself to differences in”soi) and cli­ mate very readily, and this fact accounts for the difference in shape and flavor which is often noted. The cultivation of gourds began before the dawn of history, and both edible and ornamental varieties were abundantly raised by the races of antiquity. The pumpkin, which of course belonga to the former, has become so modified by cul­ ture that the original plant from which it descended can no louger be traced. The Innumerable kinds to be seen in India would seem to indicate that that pnrt of Asia was its birthplace, but some appear to hare been under cultivation in Africa from the very earliest ages. The Rom­ ans were familiar with Certain rarietieof It. and it was used by them as nn article of diet. Thus three great coun­ tries of the Eastern hemisphere might claim it a* their own as far as we would have apy right to say. Perhaps the pumpkin is a native of the whole world, for it was found in the Western bernisnbere by the first white man who land­ ed. and It must therefore hare been In­ digenous to American soil. The Indians knew if and cultivated it for centuriea. That the pumpkin was at one Urne a much more important crop than It!* to­ day Is certain. It was as easily raised then as now. as a “stolen crop,” the •eeds being planted in fields of corn.or potatoes, usually the former. Before the Introduction of the squash the pumpkin was ured as a table vegetable, and iu many of the countries of the Orient this use continues to this day. A winter pumpkin grown iu Turkey Is snow white. This variety is sold extensively on the streets of Constantinople. In Hungary attempts to turn pumpkins to account in the manufacture of sugar, in the same way that beets are used, have been made, but they were not attended with any great degree of success. Sometimes, in the United States, when sugar and money are both scarce, the pumpkin is hoik'd to a syrup, thus furnishing n sub­ stitute for sugar, which, under the cir­ cumstances, goes very well. The American pumpkin is a big yellow fellow, though attempts ore constantly being made to substitute the smaller, nnd often less available, kinds. The fact remains that the pumpkin which grows in the Held along with the corn is the best for the Thanksgiving pic. after all is said and done. It has no frills, and no high sounding name, but. in the language of the i>oet. it gets there just ths same. Training Down. The don’t you eat it? The savin’ up for Thanksgiving.

The dearth of news from th*? front Is compensated for by the many Hlgpltli emit hits of Information front ojber sources.

Her latest foreign loan will cost her six and twothlrds per cent Her budget for next year. Including general and war ex­ penses, amounts to $300,000,000. and if the war lasts two years longer and costs no more than present estimates, her debt will reach a total of nt least $1,000,000,000, an enormous burden for a country in which the average in­ come of the people, expressed in mon­ ey terms, is so low as it la In Japan. Under such internal conditions as these in the two countries It certainly must be regarded as highly rational on Japan's part to seek for peace on moderate term*, and highly inntional on Russia's.^art to insist on protrao ing the struggle.to the bitter end. Russia Insists on the restoration of her prestige at all costs, and by prestige she means her military prestige in Asia.

A few doom farther down the corri­ dor. in a chamber more somber and gloomy than any we have visited, was Judith.*! She is lying back listlessly. In an easy* chair, with her red rair loosely falling around her pallid, worn thee. The tears roll down her cheeks, at In­ ternals. iu large, heavy drops. She la weeping over the ashes of love, over wrecked hopes, and a lost life. Heavily over her broods the spirit of the night, boding of death. As the night advances, the elonda have It all their own way, veiling the sky with profound darkness; and the winds wax fiercer. The air is filled with the alternate shrieks, and soba of terri­ fied nature. There is heavy rain, with which the monster sports, dashing it. nnd whirling it, nnd scattering it In gusts, and eddies, and manses. Heavy footsteps upon the carriaye drive; but the tempest absorbs evttfy sound into itself. Over the gravel, which stands out lightly' from the black­ ness that cncompaKscs it. moves n large, dark, lumbering object. It is a man, Iwaring .another, seemingly sense­ less, upon his back. Slowly, staggering nnd swaying at times under the weight nnd the wind, he advances to the hall door. There he lays down his burden, nnd seems to ponder for a moment. Thun he walks cautiously round the house, looking up nt all the windows. There is u faint light iu two, but seemitutly emitted only by night tapers. All stem to be sleeping. He cautiously yries the windows upin the ground floor. All were securely fast­ ened. Iu a corner of the building there was a smaller window, like that of a pantry. With his diamond ring, he rut out one of Uie panes of glass, put liis arm through the cavity and with ucne difficulty succeeded in reaching the fust­ cuing that secured the sash. He raised the window and crept through. He took u lantern and some matches from his pocket nnd struck a light. It was not a pantry he was in. but a sma!l bedroom. I'asaing out at the d*nr. he fliund himself in the servants’ offices. He took off his boots nnd crept nei<eIcKsly along the passage, until he reached the corridor. He halted nt Silas Cart­ ton's door and listened, with his ear to the keyhole. All seemed quiet. He ascended the stairs. As he reach­ ed the first corridor he became sensible of a strong, pungent odor and a misti­ ness in the air, like smoke. He looked about him for some cause and crept fur­ ther along the corridor. Beneath the door, and through the keyhole of one of the rooms, shone a red glow. Great heavens! hnd accident anticipat­ ed his intention? Was this fire? lie turned the handle of the door—it was not locked. His doubts were solved in an Instant. A body of hot, blinding smoke rushed into his face, nearly over­ powering him. The room was in fiatnwi! Hanging across the arm of a chair was the body of a man, either dead or In­ sensible. Ix>st aud awe-stricken. Hod­ well stdod helpless and transfixed, gaz­ ing upon the awful sight. At that moment Judith, hurrying out of l^er room, appeared upon the scex.e. Miles away, a carriage containing an old gentleman is speeding furiously along the Essex road. Upou lhe box arc two policemen. • On through t the- pelting rain and the rushing wind, beneath the shadowy of ovcriianging trees nnd along tUe open road, the soaked, blinded driver, aciirirely able to see a yard before him, ga-Icps the horses. , "Ix>ok. look!”.cries a policeman, sud­ denly pointing ahead. There is n glare rising np in the Unck skj—a wavering, red glare, that br^htens end fades, fades and brightens. Th* old gentleman within, who, upite of (be storm, is continually pujtinfc his hem? out of the window to see wl»ai progress is l>cing made, sees it, too. “Faster, faster, for heaven's take?’ he cries. “Do you not see that fire! It mnst be the Manor House; there is do other house near.” What is that dark object advancing so swiftly towards them? A horse, gal­ loping furiously, darts past like 'nn ar­ row. and is lost in the darkness. “What ia that?" cries the old gentle­ man. looking out of the window again. Bnt only the wind beam his voice. The glare iu the sky grows stronger, nearer. Up rise showers of sparks, aud up rolls the red smoke, aud faster and faster speed the hor»cs. until they seem running a race with the wind, match­ ing themselves against the tempest. Judith and Rodwell face one another —but only for an Instant With a cry of agony, she rushes towards her Sath­ er. The fire surrounds him now. screen­ ing him from nil human help. The flainns and smoke drive her back with their scorching breath. With wild fury, she turn* upon Rodwril. Recovered Th>tn his momentary panic, he is flying; Irjt he reaches the head of the stairs, ahe is upon him. with the grip ot a liglets, and calling wildly for help. * He struggles fiercely, twines his gers in her long hair, and with other hand rains heavy blows upon her | head aud face: but still she hold* cm. I never ceasing her wild cries for ht*p. Other cries begin to mingle whh fum. | and the sounds of battering at dOorn. the tempest rngex iu nnrndtted fury—then under the swaying, groaning trees, plunging into yet deeper darkness. Down, down, down—the speed redoubles, he is rapidly descending, hut whither? Im­ penetrable by sight as a wall of iron is the black gulf before him. He pulls ths rein with nil Ids strength; hut down, down, down, still gallops the horse with awfnl rapidity. Crash! n low. project­ ing branch has caught him across the forehead, and dashea him from the ani­ mal's back; there Is a heavy plash, and then n rushing sound—the horse is breasting the water; another moment, he is scrambling up the opposite bank, riderless. Within the Manor House the flames are spreading with frightful rapidity. Judith lies in n motionless heap, nnd two hapless beings are locked within their rooms; upon the chamber alsive, the fire haa already sfized: upou the one below it is rapidly advancing. The fire is consuming one side of Clara's room—it has fastened upou the stair*—uo one can mount them. Who can savehcr now? Flames dart above the roof, and through the windows, and up into the black sky rise volumes of lurid smoke, chasing away the darkness nnd illuminat­ ing every object around with a fearful radiance. What new figure is this come upon the scene? A man who seems to have arisen from the bowels of the earth. He looks strange ami bewildered. The women catch sight of him. and. shrieking with a new terror, fly nway and cower upon the sodden earth, under the dripping branch of a tree. He sees an arm grasp­ ing at a window frame. lie goes to him. “Unlock the door—the key is outside!" erics a frantic voice within. ■ The stranger comprehends—dashes through the hall • door, which stands wide open. The flumes rolling down the stain show him the key. He turns it. As be does so. he sees n senseless woman hud<TleJ at his feet. He does not recog­ nize her. hut quick as lightning he raises her in his arms and bears her safely out into the air. followed by Silas. (July just iu time—the flame* are al­ ready licking the spot she laid upon. "Is it Clara?" cries Silas, frantically. They turn over the body and disclose the death-like face of Judith. “Where Is she—oh. heaven, where Is she? She has perished in the flames!” exclaimed Silas. A wild, piercing cry of agony rises above the roar of the elements. They rnlse their eyes. Standing on the ex­ treme edge of the window sill, witii out­ stretched arms, the flames darting around her. is Clara. A frightful scream bursts from Silas* lipa; but his companion grasps his hands, drugs him under the window, and stretching out both their arms, shouts to her to jump. Just in time—the flumes cling to her dress as die falls. At that moment a carriage tears up the drive—two policemen spring from the box. and an nld gentleman jumps out, and fails into the group. A soft evening in June. The sky of a deep, cloudless blue, save toward* the west, where the sun is sinking into a sea of crimson light. Not n breath of air Is stirring—the trees are motionless; not the quiver of a leaf. There is a buzz of insect life in the air. mingled with the music of the birds. Upon a lawn, ever which ia scattered numerous flower beds, gay with bright colored blossoms, stretch­ ing before a picturesque cottage covered with roses, sit three men. One is young, not more than twenty; the second Is a stout, florid, benevolent looking man; the third is thin-visaged, sad looking, with iron-gray hair. The three turn were 1, Silas Mornnt, Mr. Jonathan Bod­ well, and my father. My father was speaking—“What his ultimate intentions could have been, I am nt a loss to un­ derstand. Probably to cast me. in my insensible state, into the flames.” “Which, it seems, after all, he did not kindle,” said Mr. Jonathan, shuddering at the remembrance. “Jtat is the most wonderful circum­ stance of all. Chance, or destiny, or whatever you please to call It, had actu­ ally anticipated him. Porter must have overthrown his lamp in a state of stuj»or. Judith lived loug enough to tell how she hnd seen the fire first; in her father's room, and he lying scrods die chair, dead or insensible.” “I could not help pitying the unfortu­ nate creature,” said Mr. Jonathan, “in spite of the evil die had wrought. She nt least deserved a better fate than to perish by the brutal violence of the man whom she loved so devotedly." “1 have often thought.” said my fath­ er. “what a divine mercy it was that only one of the telegrams fell Into that wretched man's hands. It appears' that the lad hnd put one in his pocket—the one addressed to you. Mr. Rod well—and was holding the other in his hand, when he ran against his master, who snatched it from him and forbade him to lente the louse. The lad said nothing about the ether. but watched his opportunity to ieava the premises, and deliver it at the oibcc. The delay, however, was jrcry near proving fatal to mure than one of “And yon forgive me., darling?’ I whispered1 nn 1 held tiara in my anna. ntiHWcred. softly. "I only felt spd. and that I wished to die." She ww mine—mine at last! Nothing could stand between us now save death!

She is translating the rimpsodiea that fill the souls of l>oth into lovers own language—music. Oh. those wild, patsionatc strains, how they thrill through my soul! They tell all the story of our love—soft. melancholy. mysterious—> then broken by sobs nnd walls—wvelling into horror nnd cries of agony?—then melting into a soft, dreamy harmony too ecstatic for joy. too hopeful for sadneaa —and so they die awny into the paaaivs* ate silence of love.

I hastened to meet the good, kind crea­ ture who hnd yheltered me. fed me and clothed me wbeu I was houselros and dastUara. She was dreaaad with unBilk J “No more had we, Master Bi’.ux. a few weeks ago,” answered Martha, blushing, "and. you know, you have not seen us since Christmas. So. as yon had kindly sent me an invitation to come down and we you,' I thought I would take the liberty to bring Josiah along with me. and make it a sort of marriage trip." “I am very much delighted to see yon both, and you shall stay with us for your honeymoon.” I said, shaking a Land of each. "But you might as. wall have Invited us to your wedding." Martha laughed and blushed: and then my father and Mr. Jonathan offered their warm congratulations to the happy bride and bridegroom. "And are yon still at the Corinthiaa, Joeialt?*’ I inquired. v‘No.” he answered; "Martha haa per­ suaded me to relinquish public life, and her father has procured for me an ap­ pointment upou Hie railway as a porter." A little time afterwards. Martha came to me with a radiant countenance. "Only think." she snid; "that dear, good Mr. Jonathan is going to sci us up in busi­ ness for your sake! And. Master Bilan, whnt did I use to say when you made such a funs about the little I could do for you—didn't 1 tell ynu you would be rich some day, and what flue things joa wonk! do for me!" ■ "But I am not fich, my good Martha." I said, smiling, "and it is not I who hare done this for you.’* "Oh. but it’s all the same, eir." she said, with n very sly look. Presently my father. Martha, and Josinh went Into the house. But Mr. Jonathan remained liehind, and taking my arm. strolled with me across the lawn. “Silas, my lad," he sofid, iu a kind voice, “the sight <if that 'happy couple’ has set me thinking upon n subject I have long hnd in my heart! Although I have never mentioned ft. I know all about you nnd Clara. Mrs. Wilson told me what she knew, and ! have picked up the rest here and there. I have waited, howorfr. until now.

She will never forgive the wicked weakness of my conduct in gaining her love while another claimed me ns her husband.” "It was very culpable." answered, Mr. Jonathan, gravely; "and in nuy other person I could never have pardoned it: but your life, my poor boy. has been so exceptional, that it would be hard to judge you by the rules of every-day life."

Comments ou tbe prevalence of crime and lawlessnwntattve aud serious newspapers and from published statements of judges and citizens, form the supporting evidence. Conditions in Chicago are strikingly set forth by comparisons with the crim­ inal records of the two leading cities of Europe. London, with, an area of 688 square miles and a population of 0,500.­ 000, had twenty-four murders last year. There was no “undiscovered crime,’* as the murderers were all arrested except in four cases, where they committed sub vide. Chicago, with less than one-third of the population and area covered by the Londun or metropolitan police, had 128 homi­ cides. In eighteen cases tbe murderers were killed at tbe time of tbe crime or committed suicide; four other cases were those of officers who did the killing in the performance of their duties, leaving 106 eases for the jiolice to work upon. Out of that number thirty-four convic­ tions were secured, while in nineteen cases no arrest was made, and in fiftythree cases arrests did not result in con­ viction. Only one man was hanged in 1 Chicago. In Paris only fifteen murders or at­ tempted murders were committed in the same period. More than eight times as ninny murders in Chicago as in Paris, six times as many as in Loudon. In the United States last year there were 8.976 murders and homicides In a population of about 80,000.000. In 1881, when the population wds 51.316,000. there were only 1.260 crimes of this class. The high record was reached in 1896. when there were 10.654 murders mid homicides in n population of 70,000,000. In 1899 conditions improved, but since then they have steadily grown worse. The loss of life through crime is made more prominent when compared with fa­ talities in war it nd on railroads, lu three years the homicides In the United States numbered 31.395. The British loss in the Boer war was 22.000. In the same period there were killed on railroads 21.­ 847.

An Important opinion, which will set a precedent of great Interest to all Federal officials who are appointed by the I*realdent, has been rendered by the comptroller of tbe treasury. Tbe decision establishes the title of officials to draw pay until their successors qualify. The p»int was raised by Melvin Grigsby, of South Dakota, who was district attorney for the Nome, Alaska, district. Mr. Grigsby resigned and his resignation, to take effect Juno 30 last, was accepted. His successor was appointed, but be failed to qual­ ify until July 29.

Behind this definite an­ nouncement of purpose is said to lie a strong possibility tfiat ultimately the street railway systems of the city will be provided with subways lu the heart of the city, and than further relieve the cungrstioti which has been complained uf for years. It is strongly hinted that the ronstrnc<sn of a subway directly above the tuntnois is contemplated at xunir time, and • that a controlling interest in the Illinois Tunnel Company was achieved iu order to avoid litigation and embarrassment during the construction perimi. Here are some of the thing* promised when tbe full scope of tiw scheme is in operation: Freight traffic will be diverted from the-streeis to the tunnels, and the streets thus relieved of the dirt Incidental to teaming. Railroad freight yards will be removed ten or fifteen miles from the central part of the city, thus leaving valuable real estate available for other business imm. AH freight will lie handled more expe­ ditiously. the ears to which freight baa been transferred nt the outer yards com­ ing into t«te city by the tunnels aud elec­ tric motors. Willi the passing of freight locomo­ tives the city will be relieved of 80 per cent of the smoke nuisance. Tlie necessity for tearing up pave­ ments will i»e practically Overcome when .telegraph and telephone wires, gas pipes, water pipes and other public utilities arc placed within the tunnels. • Mail will Ik* handled mon- quickly when letters nnd parcels ran be dropped directly into the tnnuyls through mail boxes, nnd thence conveyed directly to the p>ustoffiee.

Jr., n professiunal cltnuffeur and son of a wealthy man. prominent in the automobile world, waa slain the other night. The scene was on a roa-J paralleling the Joliet electric line, two and a half miles southeast of Leinon&mt There Bate was found lean­ ing forwent in the front seat ot the au­ tomobile with n bulh-t wound in the back of his head. Tbe automobile had been turned about. A revolver lay on the A carefully laid scheme is believed by nuiny to have preceded the murder. So­ lution of the midnight crime, presenting elements ■>£ mystery worthy the genius of a Sherlock Holmes, seemed to bailie the efforts of the police. That young Bate was the victim of bank rubbers, an angry passenger or a iiedestriau was advanced. The woman motive was taken by Morris Stokes, employed with Bate, who says that for weeks Bate had been receiving gushing love letters from an infatuated society woman who had ridden with him. An unsigned letter found upon tbe body evidently had been written by a jilted The police theory was that two men planning n bank robbery’ tried to force Bate to carry them to Joliet and that he rebelled. This rebellion, in the minds of the police, determined the safe blowers to make way with 11 man who had be­ come dangerous to them. Therefore, af­ ter u bitter quarrel, they shot nnd killed the chauffeur while he was bending over his Steering apparatus. It is urged lu I opposition to this theory that the rob­ bers and murderers did uot denude the machine of identification evidence—the number 278. Daniel Canary, Bate’s em­ ployer, after, lie hnxl heard all the de­ tails, supported this theory. • Opponents of tbe desperado theory con­ tended that Bate was slain by some one. over whom be had almost run his ma­ chine. This is the view taken by the coroner of Will county; who contends thnt Bate had been running his automo­ bile reckirsriy, had probably lost his way nfter Inking a fare to Leniont nnd nar­ rowly es<-n|H>d killing n pedestrian.

NUMBER Iff ....................... DIRECTORY: The examination of George, Levi and Charles Tuobs, charged with the murder of John Bouts, is in progress before Juslice Nichols at Charlotte. Every foot of ground is being bitterly contested and the examination in therefore progressing slowly. The defense is represented by Frank Dean and Garry Fox, two of the ablest law­ yers in this part of the state, but they are up against a bard proposi­ tion. there being apparently little ground for defense. The case is attracting wide-spread attention and the crowds attending the examination were so large that it was found necessary to transfer the hearing to the circuit court room at the court house, even this room not being large enough to acct mod ate all who wish to bear the testimony. It will take all of this week and probably a good share of next week to complete the examination. The Charlotte Leader in comment­ ing on the case, says: “The accused men are having an entirely new ex­ perience in the jail imprisonment, but so far as known show no regret for what has been done. They are of a nature wnich seems to bear them out in believing that they acted right­ ly and that it was done in defence of their moral and legal rights. They seem to be so constituted that they can only perceive what they believe to be their rights, and possessed of a constant feat that the demsrkation line they have drawn by them between themselves and the public will be crossed. This species of s-'lfiahoess seems to blind them to every other view, and produces a stoicism rather unusual. The township of Kaiamo, especially the portion Immediately near the trag Ic event, are very largely of one mind concerning the affair. The people have acted in various ways promptly ar.d sensibly. With the deepest sympathy for the widow so ruthlessly bereft of her husband, immediate steps were taken to supply her with money for immediate use, by contributions from the sympathizing neighbors, and on Monday of this week from fifty to one hundred men gathered and completed the work upon the drain, which was a completion of the contract, so that Mrs. Bouts could draw the money, amounting to about *200. This was ur­ gently needed by her, as the family consisting of the wife and two children were left with no resources whatever except the proceeds of this contract. KILLED BY A FALL.

Tbe great number of murders being committed in Michigan of late might be reduced somewhat if capital punish­ ment was brought into play for a lime. Tbe holiday season Is nearly upon us and by tbe looks of lhe stores Nashville merchant* have had full access to Santa Claus' unlimited sup­ ply. The America^ people are pretty well fixed financially this year and the usual large sums will be spent for presents.

An epidemic of burglaries and saf»blowicg appears to be prevalent in Michigan, and almost every day re­ ports come from some portion of the alate of stores andebanka being broken late and burglarized. Nashville has been let alone now for some time by this “profession." Merchants are taking the precaution to leave very Utile cash about their store- at night, which appears to be a sensible policy aader present conditions. When a person undertakes to run another man’s business he generally "put* hl* fool In It." This country Is large enough for all and what should concern us Is principally our own basinets and not that of o.bers. If an­ other man's business does not suit us it is no sign that we should try to in­ jure it under lhe guise of Christianity or anything else. Those who would be successful in all ways should first of all attend to bis own business. Russian and Japanese losses in the battles that immediately preceded tbs fall of Liao-Yang, amounted in killed and wounded to 30,000 men. When tbi* waa first announced lhe world shuddered.

On acount of the big demand in he last two years the old supply that had accumulated in the countries where they are made is now exhaust­ ed and the hats are harder to get. The prices, however, will not be advanced any, as the retailers always have got a good big price for them. The im­ pression that seems to have gotten about that the Panamas are made under water is merely a delusion. They are made during the early hours of the morning and the late hours of ‘Jie evening, when the atmosphere is moist and then- is a heavy drw, This is on account of the fait that the •traw must be wet when handled, or at leas. damp, so that. It will not break, and it is on this account that lhe bats are so valuable. The natives can only work on thu hats about four hours a day, and for the life of you you can't hurry them." The Japanese government has found a novel and exctlltnl use for postal cards, says the Christian Sndeavor World. Realizing that. fort various reasons, the soldiers on campaign may ■ot have leisure or opportunity to write home to his family, the military authorities have supplied to each army a sufficient number of post cards, MONKS IN SOLITUDE CO MAD ready printed, to which the soldier has only to affix his name—or, more ex­ ba on the Dead Sea—Women actly, his seal, each Japanese soldier Posit.ve.y Burred. carrying one with him, as part of bls outfit.

To them il Is lhe sign ot deity and eternity, while the two parte Into which the circle is divided are called the Yin and die Yan—lhe male and female forces of nature. Some 3,000 years ago one of the writ­ ers, speaking In reference to it, said: “The illimitable produces the extreme. The great extreme produces the two principles. The two principles pro­ duce tbe lour quarters, and from the four quarters we develop the quadra­ ture of the eight diagrams of Feubhi." This means little to ua. though the writer may tytve explained the matter to his entire satisfaction. But so much we know—that Uie symbol had a malhemadcal as well as an oc­ cult meaning. There Is a little puzzle connected with the Korean flag which may or may nol be perplexing to the novice.

O E Ma pre is the third man who Socrates tool a bath before drinking the hemlock, and many brave men have insisted on dressing carefully on the eve of execution. Science now suggests that In the case of msn-o’-war crews it Is distinctly “advisable that dean clothes should be put on just before going into action.” The reason is. of course, that pieces of soiled clothing carried into wounds make them more dangerous. Tbe Japanese surgeon-! nchlef of Togo’s fleet, whom we are quot­ ing, goes on to say that "there are many examples to show that a pocket note­ book, knife, etc., have saved men’s lives from shell fragments. We have had a dare say that in time every combatant on board warships in action will wear some kind of protecting mask and jackets." Another hint given by Dr. Suzuki is that the wounded should be I** on tbe firing, not the non-firing, side of the vessel, for it is not the side exposed to the enemy which Is the most dangerous, but the other, “the frag­ ments of bursting sheila dispersing in a radiating manner."

The party arrived in Nashville Monday morning and were driven to Berryville, where the remains bad previously been taken Tbe funeral was held in the church at that place and tbe remains were in­ terred in tbe family lot In the ceme­ tery adjoining. Rev. -G. N. Gillett conducted the services which were attended by a large number of his many friends who came to pay their last respects to one who had always been honored by them. Air. Htuleock leaves a wife and three son*, C. L., of Jackson, Bassle, of North Dakota, who wm unable to be here to attend the funeral, and Alva of Goodlettsville, with whom Mr. and Mrs. Badcock made their home. Mr. Badeock was born in Genessee county, New York, June, 1826, and was therefore "» years and six months old at the time of his death. Be came to Michigan Id an early day and bad resided here on a farm southwest of Riis village in Maple Grove .township many years up to about four years ago, when he and his wife went to live with their son Alva at Goodlettsville. where he believed the climate was more beneficial to his health. He had beenailing sometime, not with any particular disease, but seemingly was worn out in body alone, and the end came as peacefully as hie life bad been serene, the cause given being old was converted and joined the Methodist Protestant church at the age of thirteen years. Was married to Frances Griswold January 18. 1852 and moved to bis farm in Maple Grove In November of the same year. He loved the church of bls choice and gave freely of his time and means that tbe cause of Christ and the church might be advanced. He was the chief instigator in tbe organization of the church at Barryville and largely through bis influence the church house was erected. He bat also assisted tn carrying the little struggling society through many a stormy period. He was a man of unstinted charac­ ter and a Christian in every sense of the word. He fought during hi* life for those principles which he believed to be right, and so aggressive was bis war on vice and its causes that he made enemies as well as friends. His nature was so forgiving that no man could harbor enmity against him long. He was always greatly interested In the pioneer history of this community and probably knew more about the early history of Castleton and Maple Grove townships than any other liv­ ing man. Many of his article* on the early history of his boyhood days were intensely interesting. He was for many years a correspondent of The News, and his death it deeply mourned by all who knew him. LAW PROVIDES HOLIDAYS. The Mondays following Christmas and New Years will be legal holidays according to an amended state law which reads that whenever the first day of January, tbetwenty-second of Febuary, tbe thirtieth of May, tbe fourth of July and the twenty-fifth of Decem­ ber shall fall on Sunday tbe next Mon­ day shall be deemed the public hoHday for all and ever/ purpose. It* is not often Christmas and New Years hap­ pen on Sunday, but in order not to cheat tbe public of holidays usually anticipated with a great deal oL plea­ sure the legislature has made satisfac­ tory provision. No business of a legal nature transacted tbe Monday following the usual date of a holiday which falls on Sunday will bold good wondered whether they would have to work the Mondays following the ap­ proaching holidays. According to .be amended state law in question they will not have to resume their dally vocations tbe day following Christmas and New Years. Tire Hon­ been over 20,000. If it hadn’t been that conditions in tbe season of 1904 were against tbe hunters, it is likely that tbe deer would be very scarce next year. There is a dem ano in many yuarte-s that «omething be done to procure a more persistent warfare on the wolves According to the authentic report, these animals have greatly damaged the deer bunting in many parts of the ujiper peninsula and are now more numerous than they have previously been in many years. An increase Id the bounties, both county and state, is suggested as the most likely meth­ od of encouraging warfare on the wolves. By concerted action taken by sports­ men all over the state it is likely that a measure will be passed prohib­ iting the use of ferrets in hunting rab­ bi U. WHX BE ARRESTED. Warrants Have Been fsaued for A sensational climax was reached Id the Ferry will case Thursday evening, at Grana Haven, when Probate Judge Kirby ordered warrants for Edward S. and W. Montague Ferry, after finding them to be guilty of contempt of court in disregarding the order to produce certain books for inspection at the bearing. The warrant is directed to the sher­ iff or any constable and if either of the defeudubte comes into the stale be will probably be arrested, as soon as this can be done. This action was taken after Willard Kingsley, as one of the attorneys for E. 8. and W. M. Ferry, bad filed a formal statement of reasons why they could not comply with the order to produce the books. Tbe gist of these reasons was that tbe books are not in the control of the defendants as indi­ viduals, but that they are in control of tbe Probate court of Salt Lake county, Utah, being in what is techni­ cally called “in custodia legit.” Probate Judge Kirby refused to rec­ ognized the force of this reason and issued tbe warrant fur tbe arrest of the young men, who presumingly, are at this time in Utah, where they re­ side. THE BURDEN TOO HEAVY. Last Friday E. Flewelling gave a trust mortgage in favor of the credit­ ors of tbe Star clothing house and G. A. Corwin of Detroit and Len. W. Fcighner were appointed trustees. The keys and stock were turned over to tbe trustees Saturday morn’ng who at once opened the store for business It had been noised around for the past two weeks that some such move would be made, therefore it caused do excitement. Tbe liabilities are placed at somewhere near *8,000 and an Invoice of the slock had this week £laces the assets at something over 1,000, so that at any rate no great losses can be suffered by any of tbe creditors, who are all outside parties. What caused the failure would be hard to say, for apparently tbe store was doing a good business, however no blame is attached to Mr. Flewell­ ing, who has shown himself to be a man in every sense.

Did you ever stop to think how silently some of the old customs and fashions steal away? For instance, who remembers fust when the people cf Portland lost their admiration for canary birds? Time was when no household was complete without from one to six of these yellow beauties. Now there are hard­ ly tbal number in the whole town. Who remembers when men quit wearing leather boots? Once the* were in style—now you never see them The small boy never doubted that he «ra>> rapidly blossoming into man­ hood when be had a pair of red-tups, with trousers tucked inside of them It was possible, too, to judge a man by bls boots. Now its the creases in hia trousers that counts. Then what has become of the old fashioned runaways? Once upon a time Portland had one every week and romeone was always sure to get hurt. Il v-gs not an uncommon sight to see a frenzied team hiking down Kent street with eyes bulging and terror written in every feature. Now the automo­ biles are here and a horse bas more excuse for getting frightened—but what has become of the runaways? Then there's tbe fellow who u»ed to ride a bicycle for pleasure. He would gel up before breakfast and make a A. G. GULDEN TRAIN swore it wm easier to ride his wheel up a steep hill than to walk. But he hM disappeared and we say, where is he? Where is tbe straight-laced Christ­ ian who thought it wicked to laugh on Sunday, the preacher who loaded Hi galling gun with the hell and damna­ tion theory, the lake of Brimstone, and the real devil with the cloven hoof? Where Is the man who said It wm wicked to ride on tbe cars on Sunday? Where are tbe hymns our grandmothers bummed? Where is the tolling bell, announcing that another useful life hM gone out from the community? Gone are they all, but still to mem­ ory dear! But we like to think of them just as we like to take down those old tin-types and wonder if we ever did really look as green m they picture us.—Portland Review.

A name pulled the wool over a number ot bankers’ eyes and they fairly show­ ered wealth upon a scheming dame who used the name. The name of Andrew Carnegie had a peculiar effect upon old and careful bankers and cunning lawyers and as a result not only were banks wrecked but private industrial institutions went under as Mrs. Thomas F. McGarry, who was sen tenced Co four years at tbe Ionia re­ ft rmatory for bis connection with the dow famous water deal at Grand Rap­ ids, is striving hard to gain his re­ lease with chances pretty mcch in his faypr at the present time. McGarry had a fair trial and was easily con­ victed, not upon testimony of Salusbury but upon his own accounting of moneys ho received for his work io trying to defraud the city of Grand Rapids. His sentence was a light one and why he should not be made to eerve it the same as any other crim­ inal is a question we have as yet been unable to understand. Tbe attorneys who defended him and a great many of his personal friends are bringing all possible pressure to bear upon tbe pardon board to have him released, and a few citizens of Grand Rapids have entered protest. The cry of his friends that while there were many who conspired to defraud the city in that gigantic deal he is tbe only one to suffer should be given little weight by the board. He had able counsel and fought as hard as any of tbe rest of the gang for freedom, even taking the case to the supreme court, and as long he waa found guilty and eoaac of the rest wore more fortunate that is no sensible plea for clemency.

Too many “high toned” thieves have been liberated from Michigan prisons during the past few years and isn't it getting about time that tbe penitentiaries were used for the purpose they were intend­ ed for, a place for the incarceration of criminals regardless of social standing? The recent pardoning of "White, Marsh, Navin and Andrews, makes a fiasco of justice in Michigan and plainly tells that the common people have no more consideration with the officers of the state than they have with the trusts of New Jersey. Cassie There are many considerations en­ tering into the cause of mercantile fa'lures, but retail merchants, and es­ pecially grocers, are coming to a reali­ sation of the fact that in most cases there is a surplus of bad accounts up­ on the books when the unfortunate dealer is compelled to have recourse to a receiver. The granting of credit is the same as the lending of money. Why, then, will some merchants be so lax in the one case while exhibit­ ing ordinary care and intelligence in the other. If alcohol can be made and sold for light, heat and power uses at 10 cents a gallon, which it can if not people to get after one of tbe worst trusts in the country than by de­ manding needed legislation to make this thing possible. It would make sixteen cent gasoline look sick to have to compete with ten cent alcohol. Germany is onto tbe scheme, and con­ gress bad better import a Dutchman Judge Bmith has denied bail to tbe Tubbs trio, who are In jail at Char­ lotte awaiting trial for tbe murder of John Boots. The attorneys for the men put up a strong fight for bail for the older men, |>ut the judge could not see it that way. We believe this was wise action as the feeling which exists in Kalamo township against the Tubbs is at such a pitch that it would seem wise to keep them where they are. It seems to be a settled thing now that Senator C. L. Glasgow of this village will be made president of the senate.

INDICTED FOR A RSON. g in England, which was from China by the East India 303 yews ago. At first tbe betty ot tea, and it was this that exclusively Imported, was of Itant price. No wonder then that the leaders at fashion. who Indalgnd in such: a costly luxrny. should desire costly vessels for tbe proper enjoyment of it Haturelly, too, they turned their eyes toward the far east in tbeir search for the tight pot to make the tea in and to drink it out of. So It happened that a produce of clay ousted gold and sil­ ver fro© tbeir position in cases where tea was concerned.
