The successful nwrthut has his yearly invoice made; wants to know whether he is “going to the good," or whether his expenses and bad debts are eating up his profits. In this • way he finds out whether his outgo is greater than his income. If the inventory de volops that he must ‘‘make a cut somewhere,” inorder to place the balance on the right side of the ledger, he wails not, nor slumbers, if be is a progressive, ‘‘up to date” tradesman, but so adjusts his business that when an account of stock" la taken a year hence, be will have proof of his wisdom. Business men generally do this; many successful farmers make'trial balances with themselves annually, and by the process avoid the mistakes that are almost cer­ tain to occur if there is not an accounting. Young man; young woman; old men; old women; all in fact, who are wage earners, stop for a moment and think; reason it out with yourselves. If it is a wise and safe plan, (and experience has taught us it is) for merchants and business men geneaally to take a yearly accounting, to see whether they are prospering or the reverse, how much more necessary for you .to take an account of your financial standing to ascertain whether or not your unnecessary expenses are to blame for “keeping your nose upon the grindstone"' year following year, with nothing as a wholesome asset to show for all your bard years of loll. .a Take an account of stock; figure up what your expenses were last yehr; deduct actual necessaries from your net earning and then as you carefully make the figures, notice what a sum was spent foolishly, thoughtlessly; and in many cases you will discover, if you are honest enough to admit it, almoat shamefully, a sum that should have been deposited in the bank to your credit, against a day of misfortune, against a day of sickness—a sum put aside for a day of adversity. Resolve now; begin tomorrow putting aside the nickels and dimes, that will grow into dollars, and the ‘dollars into hundreds of dollars, by opening a Savings account in this bank. Four per cent interest paid on Savings deposits. Any amount start* you. ।--------------------- 1 OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS Q. A. TRUMAN. . . PretWcnt C. W. SMITH. . Vic. Pre. Ideat C. A. HOUGH. . . .

To his judgment, Murphy would not be likely to ride dprtng the night until after he had crossed the Fourche. There was no reason to suspect that there were any hostile Indians south of that stream, and probably therefore the Old scout would endeavor to con •orve his own strength and that of his horses, for the more perilous travel beyond. About midnight, the trail becoming obscure, the rider made camp, confi­ dent be must have already gained heavily on the man he pursued." Ho lariated his horses and flinging him­ self down on some soft turf, almost Immediately dropped asleep. He was up again before daylight, and. afte# a hasty meal, pressed on. The nature of the country had changed consider­ ably, becoming more broken, the view circumscribed by towering cliffs and deep ravines. Late in the afternoon he reined up his horse and gazed forward Into a broad Valley, bounded with precipllous bluffs. The trail led directly down toward where a considerable' stream of water shone silvery in the sun. half concealed behind a fringe of willows. And yonder, close In against those distant willows, some black dots ' were moving. Hampton glued his anxious eyes to the glass. The leveled tubes clearly revealed a man on horse-, back, leading another horse. The ani­ mals were walking. There could be little doubt that this was Silent Mur­ phy. Hampton lariated his tired horses behind the bluff and returned to the summit, lying flat upon the ground, with the field-glass at his eyes. The distant figures passed slowly forward Into the midst of the willows, and for half an hour the patient watcher scanned the surface of the stream be-yond. but there was no sign of at­ tempted passage. The sun sank lower and finally disappeared behind those desolate ridges to the westward. Hampton's knowledge of plainscraft rendered Murphy's actions sufficiently clear. This was the Fourche; beyond those waters lay the terrible peril of Indian raiders. Further advance must be made by swift, secret night riding, and never-ceasing vigilance. This was what Murphy had been saving himself and his horses for. Beyond conjec­ ture, he was resting now within the shadows of those willows, studying the opposite shore and making ready for the dash northward. Hampton be­ lieved be would linger thus for some ’time after dark, to see If Indian fires would afford any guidance.

"Darn If I kin see anythin', old man. but I'll rcout 'round thar a bit, jest ter ease yer mind, an' see what I kin skeer up.” He had hardly taken a half dozen steps before Murphy called after him: "Don't—don't go an’ leave me-rit's not -mere now—thel’s uueer!"

It was he who led the way down the bank, the four horses slowly splashing through the shallow water to the northern shore. Before them stretched a broad plain, the sur­ face rocky and uneven, the northern stars obscured by ridges of higher land. Murphy promptly gave bls horse the spur, never once glancing behind, while ths other imitated his example, holding his animal well in check, being apparently the better mounted. They rode silently. The way be­ came more broken and rough as they advanced, causing them to exercise greater caution. Flying clouds ob­ scured the stars, yet through the rifts they caught fleeting glimpses suffi­ cient to hold them to their course. And the encroaching hills swept In closer upon either hand, leaving them groping their way between as In a pocket, yet ever advancing north.

PLAN OF MRS. EDDT NEW VERSE OF BIBLE FOUND CHARITABLE FUND ARCHAEOLOGISTS AT CHICAGO ARE TOLD OF DISCOVERY. MILLION DOLLARS SET ASIDE FOR FOUNDING OF IN­ STITUTION. To-Teach the Indigent—Beneficiaries, with Their Families, Will Be Sup­ ported While Learniitg Science of • Christian Healing. More Words t of Christ That Belong in the Sixteenth Chapter of St. Mark. Chicago, Dec. 31.—A new saying of Christ, lost to the world for 13 cen­ turies and found in Egypt, was given to the world for the first time Monday by Prof. Henry A. Sanders of the Uni­ versity of Michigan, addressing the members of the Archaeological insti­ tute, now in session at the University of Chicago. The fragment Is part of an old Bible dating back to before the Moslem con­ quest of Egypt in the seventh century and on its face so authentic os to dis­ arm hostile criticism. The long-lost fragment belongs in the sixteenth chapter of the Gospel of SL Mark and follows tbe fourteenth verse. It relates to the story' of Christ's appearance, following His death, to 11 of His apostles who were gathered together in a room in Jeru­ salem. Its harmony with the context is regarded as perfect, coming in to soften sn abrupt transition front criticism to fervent exhortation. With the new verse, which Is desig­ nated as .Mark 16:14 a, tbe Bible reads thus: Mark 16:14: “Afterward He appeered unto the 11 as they sat at meat and upbraided them with tbe'r unbelief and hardness of heart, be­ cause they ® — “z believed not them which Mad seen Him after He was risen." (New Verse.) Mark 16:14 a: “And they answered, saying that this age of unrighteous­ ness and unbelief is under tbe power of Satan, who does not permit the things which are made impure by the (evil) spirits to comprehend the truth of God (and) His power. For this rea son, 'Reveal thy righteousness now, they said to ChrlsL and Christ said to them: 'The lln^t of the years of tbe power of Satan has been fulfilled, but other terrible things are at hand and 1 was delivered unto death on behalf of those who sinned in order that they may return to the truth and sin no more, to the end that they may in­ herit the spiritual, indestructible glory of righteousness (which) is in Heaven.’ ” Mark 16:15: “Aside He said unto them, Go ye into all the world and preach the Gospel to every creature."

An interesting bulletin has been fa­ wned by tbe state entomologist of Minnesota in which the author dis­ cuses the mite as found in the poultry bouse. Tbe following extract from EntomolgisL Washburn’s bulletin will Interest our readers; "These nocturnal blood suckers, not true lice, nor even Insects, since the/ belong to the class Arachnids, are found during the daytime on the under aide of the roosts aud elsewhere In a ■egk-cted henhouse. "The miles, just visible to the naked eye, have eight legs when adult, and are whitish, brownish or red, depend­ ing somewhat upon the time elapsing since the last meal. "They breed In nests, in ben manure and In cracks and crevices in the dirt cf neglected henhouses. "Roosting fowls are attacked at sight, and if these parasites are very abundant serious result? follow. In or­ dinary ‘ numbers even, they prevent fowls from sleeping. Sitting hens, as well known, are sometimes forced to abandon their nests because of the of spraying tbe toosLj . with strong kerosene emulsion, taking particular pains to drench the under side of the same and all cracks and crevices in the interior of the house. Kerosene alone will accomplish the same re­ sults. ."This treatment was followed by a thorough whitewashing. These pre­ cautions and the removal of all drop­ pings should be resorted to frequent­ ly to Insure exemption from this pest "On account of these mites It Is a bad plan to keep fowls In close prox­ imity to other stock: hens, for in­ stance, should not be kept In the same building as horses, nor should the hen bouse be built against the barn for the same reason. "Nests Intended for sitting hens shoiild be most carefully prepared in such a way as to discourage the pres­ ence of this parasite. "The entomologist has used ashes or a mixture of lime and ashes as a basis upon which to place hay or straw for the nest and has scattered Insect powder among the eggs and lit­ ter In the nests from time to time, if he had reason to suspect the presence of this mite.” Mrs. Jane Hart, Miss Mabie War­ "Cleaaliaesa is all-important.

After weaning they should be allowed milk with middlings, and if confined, a cut­ ting of germ clover or alfalfa while R,. may be had. One of the family who live* near a brewery has found that warm separated milk mixed with malt is an excellent feed for the pigs dur­ ing the growing season, and no grain Is necessary until ready to finish for the market With me, milk and mid­ dlings and occasionally a little bran mixed with green alfalfa has formed the ration. I keep salt and ashes before them, as well as a box of charcoal. During the winter when no green food is to be had. says a writer in Orange Judd Farmer, I feed once a day seme silage, just what they will eat up clean, and they seem to relish It very much. The value of alfalfa hay with the corn feed the last six weeks is not fully known, yet it will cause a gain of one and one-half pounds a day, which is more than any other ration I have ever known. The Nebraska ex­ periment station has made some . ery interesting experiments along this line, with remarkable results, and de­ clares in favor of alfalfa hay with corn as the most economical and profitable. Of course, I have no. other hay, but know the hogs eat is greedily, either dry or green,-and it keeps them in perfect condition. SHEEP IN THE ORCHARD. Ona Farmer Who Thinks They Give Him Good* Crops of Apples. "I think one great reason' why my orchard has done so well Is because I have let- my sheep run in it a good deal.” The old man that said this always has the best fruit and the most of It of any man In bls neighborhood. Many years when his neighbors would al­ most fall of having any fruit, his or­ chard would have a plentiful supply. Take It this year, for example. Throughout the entire county there is a marked scarcity of apples. But this man's trees are well loaded. He will have a little fortune from his frujt. There Is a great deal of sense In his belief that the sheep have flone his orchard good, writes E. L. Vincent in Farmers’ Review. All through the spring and fall after the apples are out of the way, he pastures the sheep in the orchard. They pick up any small or wormy fruit that may have been left on the ground. They leave the richest kind of manure all over the earth. They keep the weeds down and altogether cultivate the orchard as it could not otherwise be. We fall, fellow farmers, by not giv­ ing our orchards better treatment They are starving. Take many orcha. ds and you will see great patches of moss on the ground. The branches are many of them dead or dying. The earth Is covered with grass or weeds that provide the beat possible harbor for enemies of the trees. How can we expect to get much fruit? The wonder is that we get as much as Sheep like to run under trees. The orchard Is almost the Ideal place for them. ■ Modern methods, skilled workers and well equipped shops have made wonder ful improvements in readyto wear clothes The CLOTHCRAFT shops are the beef equipped and the most modern in the United States, and their production of suits and 01 LtB and cut, stand 'without eqpal. for 1908, cob :tly _ designed ___ ........

VOLUME XXXV A YEARLY ACCOUNTING There Is nothing more important at stated, periods than taking account of stock. The successful merchant has his yearly invoice made; wants to know whether be U “going to the good,’’ or whether his expenses and bad debts are eating up his profits. In this way hs. finds out whether his outgo is greater than his income. If the. inventory devolops 'that he must "‘make a cut somewhere,” in order to place the balance on the right side of the ledger, he waits not, nor slumbers, if he is a progressive, “up to date” tradesman, but so adjusts his business that when an account of stock is taken a year hence, he will have proof of his wisdom. Business men generally do this; many successful farmers make trial balances with themselves annually, and by the process avoid the mistakes that are almost cer­ tain to occur if there is not an accounting. <■ Young man; young woman; old men; old.women; all in fact, who are wage earners, stop for a moment and think; reason it out with yourselves. If it is a wise and safe plan, (and experience has taught us it is) for merchants and business men generally to takes yearly accounting, to see whether they are prospering or the reverse, how much more necessary for you to take an account of your financial standing to ascertain whether or not your unnecessary expenses are to blame for “keeping your nose upon the grindstone ’ year following year, with nothing as a wholesome asset to show for all your hard years of toil. Take an account of stock; figure up what your expenses were last year; deduct actual .necessaries from your net earning and then as you carefully make the figures, notice what a sum was spent foolishly, thoughtlessly; and in many cases you will discover, if you are honest enough to admit it, almost shamefully, a sum that should have been deposited in the bank to your credit, against a day of misfortune, against a day of sickness—a sum put aside for a day of adversity. Resolve now; begin tomorrow putting aside the nickels and dimes, that will grow into .dollars, and the dollars into hundreds of dollars, by opening a Savings account in this bank. .

The big Hastings poultry show opens next Wednesday, January 15, and closes Monday evening, January 20. Last year’s entries reached the 500 mark.

Mrs. Henry Roe, president of the Women’s Literary club, entertained "■ the members of the club at her home Monday afternoon. It was “Presi­ dent's Day,” and Mrs. Roe was ex­ pected to furnish the program for the afternoon, which she did in the shape of a surprise to the members of the club, by naving Hon. C. L.

Very little was done at the council meeting last Monday night except the ‘ allowing of a large amount of bills, which had accumulated since the last meeting. Manager Plaice of the Thornapple Gas and Electric com­ pany was present and talked matters of lighting ovef- with the councilmen. He assured the council that hie com­ pany was working with all possible speed to put the lines and service in­ to a better and more satisfactory con­ dition and stated incidentally that the company would expend a large sum the coming year in improvements. He also said that at some future time his company would make the village a proposition to do the pumping. Jurt what the proposition will be he did not state, but he intimated that he could save the . tax payers much ex­ pense over the present system. It is rumored that the Grand Trunk railroad will shorten its- route from Chicago to Detroit by building a lino between Bellevue and Stockbridge. The surveyprs are si ready at work laying out the new route which is to pass ' through Olivet, Brookfield, Charlesworth and Onondaga. ■ In the event of this plan materializing it will be a great boon to these inland vil­ lages and the county contiguous to them The object of the railroad company in building this line is to further its ability to complete with the Michigan Central road as a carrier between Chicago and Detroit. The line would shorten the mileage ma­ terially between these cities and pen­ etrate a rich agricultural section. This road has been talked before and something may check its coming at this time, but the conditions are so favorable that its coming at nd very distant furture is fully assured.—Char­ lotte Tribune. Our line of calendars will be ready for inspection within a few weeks. We will make an extra effort in this line this year and promise to have as large a line as any dealer. Don’t give your calendar order until yon see The News line. We will not be to the expense of outside dealers to furnish your calendars and thus c*n save you... money on the same. We live in Nashville and in view of the fact that we spend our money with our home people we think we are entitled to your orders for printing so long as our prices are as reasonable ana in many cases much lower than outside concerns considering the quality of work. We have demonstrated in the past that we can make anything in the line of calendars that any concern can make and there is no necessity for any merchant in Nashville ordering calen­ dars or any other piece of printing from outside concerns.

Powers the three lota north of the postoffice building, and will commence work in the early spring on a fine new business block. The new building will have a frontage of 66 feet, and a depth of at least 70 feet, perhaps more. The building will probably be of cement and steel con­ struction, and will have modern fronts, with splendid show windows. It is not yet settled whether the block will be one story in height or two. A proposition is being considered by the Nashville Club to build and own the second story, and the matter will probably be decided in the near future. Messrs. Gribbin and Burd left Sunday noon for South Bend, Indianaj and will probably visit other points before they return, to look up styles of architecture, store fronts, building material, etc. Stone Is now being hauled for the foundations, which will be started as soon as the frost is out of the ground inthe spring.

"Oh. stop preachin'—an* shoot —an’ bo damned ter ye!" "You do me a grave injustice. Mur­ thy. Your slashing at-me down in' Qioncaid hasn't left so much as a sting behind.

So unllmber." “Oh, I—guess not," and Murphy spat contemptuously. "Do ye think—I'm afeard o’ yer—shootin’? Ye don’t dare - tor I'm no good ter ye—dead." "You are perfectly right You are quite a philosopher In your way. You would be no good to me dead. Murphy, but you might prove fully as valuable maimed.

The mocking, sardonic grin deserted Murphy’s features. "Unllmber! It's the last call.” With a snarl the scout unclasped hte army belt dropped it to the ground «ad sullenly kicked It over toward Hampton. "Now—now—you. you gray­ eyed—devil, kin I—sit up?*.' The other nodded. He had drawn toe fangs of the wolf, and now that he no longer feared, a sudden, unex­ plainable feeling of sympathy took gees asci on of him. Murphy sputtered mmI swore, but his victorious compan- -^1 were several dlstanl smokes out to the northward now, evidently the an­ swering signals of different bands of savages, while far away, beneath the shadow or the low bluffs bordering the stream, numerous black, moving dots began to show against the light brown background. Hampton, noticing that Murphy had stopped, swearing to gaze, swung forward bis field-glasses for a better view. "They are Indians, right enough," he said, at last. "Here, take a look. Mur­ phy. I could count about 20 In that bunch and. they are traveling north." * The older man adjusted the tubes Co his eyes and looked long and steadily at the party. “They seem—to be a-closln* In." he declared, finally, staring around into the other’s face, all bravado gone. "There’s anuther lot—bucks, all o’ ’em —out west yonder—an' over east a smudge Is—-just startin'.

"Yon mean we should start now?” "Better—let the cattle rest—first. An’—if ye ever feed prisoners—I'd like ter eat a bite—meellf." They rested there for over two hours, the tired horses contentedly munching the succulent grass of the coulee, their two masters scarcely ex­ changing a word. Murphy, after satis­ fying his appetite, rested flat upon bls back, one arm flung over his eyes to protect them from the sun. At last they saddled up and passed down the coulee Into the more precip­ itous depths of the narrow canyon. Their early advance was slow and cautious, as they never felt certain what hidden enemies might lurk be­ hind the sharp corners of the winding defile, and they kept vigilant eyes upon the serrated skyline. The sav­ ages were moving north and bo were they. It was fully three o’clock when they attained to the bank of the Powder, and crouched among the rocks to wait for the shades of night to shroud their further advance. Murphy climbed the bluff for a wider view. bearlng’Hampton's field-glasses slung across his shoulder, for the latter would not leave him alone with the horses. He returned finally to grunt out that there was nothing special in sight, except a shifting of those smoke signals to points farther north. Then they lay | down again, Hampton smoking. Murphy either sleeping or pretending to sleep. And slowly the shadows of an­ other black night swept down and shut them in. It must have been two hours later when they ventured forth. Silence and loneliness brooded everywhere, not so much as a breath of air stir­ ring the leaves. Murphy continued to lead, the light tread of his horse bare­ ly audible. Hampton pressing closely behind, revolver in hand, the two pack­ horses trailing In the rear. Midnight, and they pulled up amid the deeper gloom of a great, overhang­ ing bluff, having numerous trees near its summit. There was the glow of a distant fire upon their left, which red­ dened the sky, and reflected oddly on the edges of a vast cloud-mass rolling up threateningly from the west. Their horses stood with beads hang­ ing wearily down, their sides rising and falling, and Hampton, rolling stiff­ ly from the saddle, hastily loosened his girth. “They'll drop under us If we don’t give them an hour or two,” he said, quietly. “They're both dead beat" Murphy muttered something, inco­ herent and garnished with .oaths, and the moment he succeeded in releasing the buckle, sank down limp at the very feet of his horse, rolling up into a queer ball. The other stared and took a step nearer. “What's the matter? Are you sick, Murphy?” “No—tlred^don’t want ter see— that thing agin." “What thing r •Thet green, devlish,—crawlin’ face —if ye must know!” And he twisted his kmg, ape-like arms across his eyes, lying curled up as a dog might For a moment Hampton stood gaz­ ing down upon him. listening to his in­ coherent mutterings, his own face grave and sympathetic. Then he moved back and sat down. Suddenly the full conception of what this meant came to his mind—the man had gone mad. The strained cords of that die­ eased brain had snapped tn the pres­ ence of Imagined terrors, and now all was chaos. The horror of it over­ whelmed Hampton; not only did this unexpected denouement leave him utterly hopeless, but what was he to do with the fellow? They were in the very heart of the Indian country,— the country of the savage Sioux. He stared at the curled-up man. now si­ lent and breathing heavily as If asleep. If he only might light a pipe, or boil CHAPTER XXX. Alone with the Insane. . Beneath the shade of uplifted arms Murphy's eyes remained unclosed. Whatever terrors may have dominated that diseased brain, the one purpose of revenge and escape novar deserted It. With patient cunning be could plan and wait, scheme and execute. He was all animal now, dreaming only of-bow to tear and. kill. He was many minutes thoroughly satisfying himself that Hampton actu­ ally slept His every movement was nakedness of the picture unrelieved by green shrub or any living thing. Then, almost despairing, he slid back, stretched himself out amid the soft grass, and sank Into the slumber of ex­ haul Ion, his conscious memory the Incoherent babbling of his insane companion. * He awoke shortly after noon, feeling refreshed and renewed In both body and mind. Murphy was sleeping when he first turned to look at him. but be awoke tn season to be fed, and .ac­ cepted the proffered food with all the apparent delight of a child. While he rested, their remaining pack-animal had strayed, and Hampton was com-p«Ued to go on with onlyt the two horses, strapping the depleted store |of provisions behind his own saddle. Then he carefully hoisted Murphy into place and bound his feet beneath the animal's belly. Then he resumed the Journey down one of those sandstrewn depressions pointing toward the Rosebud, pressing the refreshed pontes into a canter, confident now thst their greatest measure of safety lay in audacity. It was already becoming dusk when they swept down Into a little nest of green trees and grass. It appeared so suddenly and was such an unexpected oasis amid that surrounding: wilder­ ness. that * Hampton gave vent to a sudden exclamation of delight. But that was all. Instantly he perceived numerous dark forms leaping from out the shrubbery, and he wheeled bls horses to the left, lashing them into a rapid run.. It was all over In a mo­ ment—a sputtering of rifles, a wild medley of cries, a glimpse of savage figures, and the two were tearing down the rocks, the din of pursuit away behind them. The band were evidently all on foot, yet Hampton con­ tinued to press his mount at a swift pace, -taking turn after turn about the sharp hills, confident that the hard earth would leave no trace of their passage. Then suddenly the horse he rode sank like a log, but his. tight grip upon the rein of the other landed him on his feel. A stray Sioux bullet had found Its mark, but the gallant animal hud struggled on until It dropped life­ less; and the brave man It had borne^ so long and so well bent down and stroked tenderly the unconscious bead. Then he shifted the provisions to the back of the other horse, grasped the loose rein once more In bls left hand, and started forward on foot slow, crafty, cowardly, the savage in his perverted nature becoming more and more manifest. It was more beast (han man that finally crept forward on all-fours, the eyes gleaming cruel as a cat's in the night. Within a yard of -the peacefully slumberin; man he rose up, crouching on his toes and bending stealthily forward, possibly feeling the close proximity of that hor­ rible presence. Then the maniac took one more stealthy, slouching step’ nearer, and flung himself at the ex­ posed throat, uttering a fierce snarl as his fingers clutched the soft flesh. Hampton awoke, gasping and choking, to find those mad eyes glaring into his own, those murderous hands throt­ tling him with the strength of mad­ (Continued.) ness. At first the stupefied, half-awakened man struggled as If In delirium, scarce­ WHY SO WEAK? ly realizing the danger. He was aware of suffering, of horror, of suf­ focation.

A few steps from the gate he overtook Dr. Brenwell, and,, alter a word or two about the fine morning, he turned Sharply to the old doctor and said: "Doctor, I want you to tell me if anything can be done for Bessie. Is she really ill?" "Your, wife is delicate and nervous, but if she would only try to be well she would find herself growing so. A sniff of this morning air would do her more good than the best tonic I know how to make," said the doctor, bringing his cane down on tbe side­ walk with an emphatic thump. They were just in front of Mrs. Watson's flower garden now. The lit­ tle woman was busy among her pan­ sies, but she lifted her head and nodded, then ran down to the gaje with a bunch of the velvet beauties in her hand. “Are they not lovelyT’ she said. "You must take them, doctor. I know you love them, and yours are not doing well this spring.” Her rosy face dimpled with smiles as the doctor thanked her. "I think, Dane, that Mrs. Watson can tell you something about the ben­ efit to be derived from exercise in the open air." said the doctor. “Why, yes, indeed. I should have died long ago without it," Mrs. Watson answered. Mr. Dane sighed, "I wo-ld give anything," he said. ‘If Bessie could grow rosy and happy like you are.” "I believe she might,” said Mrs. Watson earnestly. Bessie, is not really 111. I know she is not strong, and, forgive me, Mr. Dane, she makes herself worse than she need be.” "If we could only fall upon some plan to get her out more. She needs the early morning.

You haven't time now, I know, but both of you call after tea and we'll talk it over," said the little woman, delight­ edly. Then the gentlemen went away, aft­ er promising to come in the even­ ing.

PEAKS THAT DO NOT EXIST. Mountains That for Years Had a Place on Canada's Map. Ry far the neatest tale of Canadian mountaineering concerns Mounts Brown and Hooker—myths now rele­ gated to the limbo of Mouqt Iseram. In its palmy days alchemy fostered no such credulity as sways some scientific mapmakers. Unexistlng Mount Till­ man. Alaska, which had decorated maps for 15 years, where the writer In 1900 first found a flat plain, or the rubbery height of SL Elias, which has bobbed between 12,000 and 20,000 feet (even Russell cheated It by a sheer half mile) are not even good jokes beside the 17,000 and 16,000-foot mountains which from 1827 on have been engraved on each side of the pass at the head of Athabasca river, with the ‘‘Committee's Punch Bowl’ between. Now, as a fact, the walls of this pass are only a few thousand feet high, and the ’’pouch bowl” is 20 yards wide! Neither the railway surveys, spend­ ing $3,000,000, nor George Dawson himself nailed the lie. That was done in a library by Collie, after two sea­ sons’ expeditions and a year of worry. Except the maps and a hint in Palllster’s journal linking Brown and Hook­ er with one Douglass, a botanist of Douglass fir (Oregon pine) fame, no mention of them Gould be found in print until Collie struck Bancroft's “History of British Columbia.” There the botanist's diary was cited. Collie dug it out Douglass had crossed Ath­ abasca pass from Vancouver in 1827, camping in the eye of the pass on May 1. On the north lay a mountain, he wrote, "which does not appear to be less than 16,000 or 17,000 feet high.” But this three-mile sheer peak he climbed in a single afternoon— “which,” as Collie naively observed, “was naturally absurd.” The chance say-so of a botanist, but geographers ale it alive! A Prof. Coleman had been in the pass five years before Col­ lie, but finding no Brown and Hooker, and seeing higher peaks to the west. Imagined they had been mislocated. But these peaks then had names; the Brown and Hooker bustnes is no er­ ror, but a hoax. During the Klondike rush, when the writer was just north of this region, trappers smiled and shook their heads when you asked about Brown and Hooker. They knew.

Order Will Take Effect in Southern States July 1 and In Many Sections at Once.

The order is as follows: “It is hereby ordered that it shall be a condition »of any contract here­ after entered Into for carrying the* mails upon star, screen wagon, mes­ senger or special service route, tbat the contractor carrier shall not trans­ port Intoxicating liquor from one |»olnt to another upon such route while in the performance of mall service.” The blds for ktar route service in what is known as the second section, comprising North Carolina, South Carolina, Florida. Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi and Tennessee and Ken­ tucky, will be opened Wednesday and as a consequence beginning .on July 1 next ever}' contractor in the states mentioned will be prohibited from carrying intoxicating liquors on his route. The order will become effective at once, however, in many sections of the country where it is necessary to in­ stall new and supplementary service.

This does not sound unusual, tat it is in fact the key to health. The ■Uanach is the very foundation of life. I attribute 90 per cent of an sickness directly to the stomach. “Neither animals nor men can retoaln well with a poor digestive appa­ ratus. Few can be sick with a diges­ tion in perfect condition. As a matter •f fact, most men and women today are half-sick. It is because too much food and too little .exercise have grad■ally forced the stomach into a half* sick condition. My medicine gets the stomach back where it was, and that la all that Is necessary." Among Borton people who are staunch believers in Mr. Cooper's theory, is Mr. Frank D. Brown, of 57 Bloomingdale street, Chelsea, Mass. He says: "For five years I have sought re­ lief for indigestion, stomach trouble and dyspepsia, spending nearly all mr wages with doctors and obtaining no results. I had dull pains across my back, radiating to the shoulders. I had splitting headaches, which nothing seemed to cure. There was a gnawing and rumbling in my stomach and bowels. I was troubled with vertigo and dizziness, and at times almost overcome by drowsiness. *1 felt tired and worn out all the time, my sleep was not refreshing, and I would get up in the morning feeling as weary as when I went to bed. My appetite was variable—raven­ ous at times, then again nauseated at the sight of food. Sometimes my face was pale, at other times flushed. I was constipated and bilious, and had catarrhal affection in nose and throat, which caused me to hawk and spit a great deal, especially in tbe morning. I heard so much of the Cooper reme­ dies that I decided to try them. After taking one bottle, a topeworm 50 feet long passed from my system. I felt better almost Immediately. All my troubles disappeared as if by magic, and my improvement was rapid. I now feel entirely well, and can honest­ ly recommend Mr. Cooper’s medicine to anyone who suffers as I did.” We sell the Cooper medicines which give universal satisfaction. —C. H. Brown. would be wise. There Is no use talk­ ing. a new era In politics Is here, and the doctrine of the square deal is in the ascendency. Secretary Tutt is a great man. His success in the Philip­ pines. In Cuba and at Panama in straightening out enormous difficulties j stamps him as a man of great capacity and ability. His opponents have said that he is an understudy of the preai­ dent. but I want to say that while his policies are largely those which the president has favored, Mr. Taft is not a mere imitator." Sugar Interests Not In Politics. If the emphatic statements of promi­ nent stockholders and high officials of the Michigan Sugar company, the $12.­ 500,000 corporation tha. consolidated six of tbe largest best sugar fac­ tories and whose beadquarters are lo­ cated at Saginaw, are accepted at face value tbe beet sugar< interests of Michigan are entirely out of politics and have effected no organization to defeat Secretary Taft. All declare that while they are opposed to Secretary Taft because of his tariff "heresies” they are booming no candidate In op­ position to him. However, this is cer­ tain, that the sugar interests of the Eighth congressional district are en­ gaged In no scheme to throw the dis­ trict to Cannon. The speaker*, "ooomlet," ably handled by Represen­ tative Fordney last fall, has disap­ peared entirely. Commission Receives Reports. The State Tax commission has re­ ceived reports from ail but eight of the assessing districts of the state, and has now written for the missing reports. These reports must be re­ ceived before the commission can de­ termine the average rate of taxation for the state to be applied in making an assessment of the railway prop­ erties. —— Roosevelt Thanks Governor. Gov. Warner has received a letter from President Roosevelt expressing his pleasure that Michigan is to be represented at the-jneetlng to be held in Washington next May to take ac­ tion in regard to the preservation of the natural resources of the country. Oust Mrs. K say's Book. “The Road to Damascus,” Mrs. Keay's book, which has stirred Ann Arbor because it Is supposed to depict life in the University of Michigan, and is also supposed to have its principal character based on Prof. R. M. Wenley. has been withdrawn from the uni­ versity library. The librarian and as­ sistants made inquiries among other members of the faculty and found con­ siderable antipathy against it, though It was not declared actually harm­ ful. Tbe fact tbat some profes­ sors objected to It was enough. Work of the Convention. The constitutional convention has resumed work aftefr the holiday recess and, as the salary budget empires by limitation . on January 31, much will have to be accomplished in order to complete the revision by that time. There will be very little smooth sail­ ing and practically every proposal that comes up will be a subject for de­ bate. Tbe constitutional initiative proposition has attracted more atten­ tion than anything else. Every dele­ gate has been anxious to learn whether sentiment has changed and a general comparing of notes is going on. As a matter of fact, a good many delegates have changed their Ideas regarding the proposition and the prospects are that it may not pass. Some delegates came back with the conviction that if- the proposal should get through it would arouse such a determined opposition that the 'revi­ sion would be defeated. The conven­ tion will take up the proposal relative to placing members of the legislature on a salaried basis, which may meet with favorable consideration, although destined to be opposed by delegates having farmer constituents. It is .belleved that If a fair salary Is provided a much higher class of men will con­ sent to become members. Delegate Sawyer of Wexford Intro­ duced several proposals tending to regulate the courts. One provides that judges of courts must hand down de­ cisions within- three months after cases are submitted to them or tbeir pay will cease. Another provides that the bar Itself shall have jurisdic­ tion in disbarment proceedings.. The proposal to have members of school boards In cities, villages, town­ ships or school districts chosen by the electorate at large, instead of by wards or other minor divisions, came up the other afternoon in committee of the whole. It was at first frowned upon, but at last favored by a close vote of 45 to 40. A proposal'prohibiting tbe manufac ture and sale of cigarettes In Michi­ gan was agreed upon. The vote on the proposition was 56 to 16 and In­ dicates a strong probability that the clause will be inserted in the new constitution if the public sentiment does not cause a change in sentiment before the final vote on the proposi­ tion. The advocates ot the initiative held a caucus at one of the hotels and after the meeting appeared to believe that they had secured enough pledges to pass the bill. Ingram declined to give out any figures because he does not feel thoroughly sure of all those who are reported to now be in favor of the proposal. Forty-nine votes will be needed to obtain the passage. The committee on private corpora­ tions has reported the proposal relat­ ing to terms of franchises In this form: “No franchise or license shall be granted by any municipality of this state for a longer period than the cor­ porate life of the corporation to which It is granted." The committee on state officers and salaries reported favorably a proposal regulating salaries according to this schedule: Governor, 15.000 a year: lieutenant governor, $1,000; circuit judges, $2,500; state treasurer, super­ intendent of public instruction, secre­ tary of state, auditor general and at­ torney general, $3'000 each. The tax committee reached an agreement which provides for a tax of one-half of one per cent, on real estate mortgages, to be paid when the instrument is recorded. The county will derive the benefit of the revenue. Bird's Sult a Failure. 1 By- its action In amending the cor­ , poration laws of the state, the legis­ lature at the regular session defeated the action commenced by Attorney General Bird against the Crucible Steel Company of America to recover $61,000 in penalties for the company's failure to file articles of incorporation In Michigan while doing business in the state. A decision sustaining the company's demurera was filed by the supreme court The defendant com­ pany Is allied with tbe United States Steel corporation and has large ware­ houses In Detroit In amending the law, providing for the payment of a penalty of $1,000 per month for any company doing business in the state without having filed its articles of in­ corporation, the legislature, after the commencement of the suit, so altered the sections that the penalty clause cannot be made to apply to the failure of the company to file Ito articles of incorporation. As a consequence, the suit fails and it cannot be recommenced. Olds Is Lansing Candidate. At the request of friends R. E. Olds of Lansing has consented to be­ come a candidate for the nomination as delegate from this district to the national Republican convention to be held at Chicago.

It Is exceedingly beneficial to those afflict­ ed with bronchial or pulmonary dis­ eases and to create strength." • The reason Vlnol is so far superior to old fashioned cod liver oil and emulsions, is because it is a real cod liver preparation from which all tha useless oil has been eliminated and tonic iron added.

The work accom­ pli sbefl by them reflects great credit on our rural schools and the home training they have received. Twice' as many young men and women around Nashville should avail themseives of the opportunities afforded by our excellent high school. Our library, should be more liber­ ally patroni/uxl by the people of Nashville. The library is a public one, which means that everyone re­ siding in the school district may draw books to rend. Then, too, we have a moat excellent collection of reference books, which may be used by tbe pub­ lic if they will come to the library. Reference books are not generally loaned outside of the school, but by special arrangement certain of these books may be drawn for a short lime. The librarian, Dorra Gokay, may be seen at almost any time from 9 a. m. to 4 p. m. on school days, but our re­ gular time for drawing books is from I to 5 p. m. Wednesdays.. Now tbat the stores close early,’ there should be ample time these long evenings for the reading of some good books, and we hope to see more of both young and old people making use of “your’’ library.

Delegate Bromfield precipitated a lively discussion on the proposition prohibiting the issuing of passes to public officers, which came up on sec­ ond reading. On passage tbe proposal was killed 52 to 25. Delegate Barbour submitted a pro­ posal which provides that the revised constitution shall contain qlauses mak­ ing it mandatory that provisional amendments shall be submitted to tbe voters at the fall election on the ques-, tlons of muncipal ownership. Initiative and referendum, woman suffrage and prohibition of cigarettes. . The committee on taxation reported the several propositions that were agreed. Including the uniform rule and tbe new plan for taxing mortgages. The latter provides for a tax of onehalf of one per cent, when the Instru­ ment is recorded. Women clamoring for the constitu­ tional right to vote appeared before tbe convention In large numbers. The demonstration was the most notable that has taken place during the meet­ ings of the convention. Hon. Peter White of Marquette joined in a petition sent to the conven­ tion in favor of woman suffrage. Among other petitions along the same line was a lengthy one from the Ladies of the Modern Maccabees. By a vote of 49 to 38 the constitu­ tional convention the other night passed on the first reading the Homan substitute Initiative proposal. The committee on taxation reported out a proposal prohibiting the state engaging in works of Internal improve­ ments except for wagon roads and the reforestation and protection of lands owned by the state, the latter being the only addition to the clause in’ the present constitution. There was one talk of eliminating the prohibition al­ together, but for some reason senti­ ment changed among the members of the committee. The proposals on home rule and mu­ nicipal ownership have not yet been considered and they are matters that will take some time as they do not present such well-defined issues, owing to the wide differences of opinion that exist Michigan Reunion In West. Former Michigan people now resid­ ing in' southern California will hold their third annual reunion and picnic at East Lake park, Los Angeles, Jan­ uary 25. Of the many holidays and fete days, none is looked forward to with keener anticipation by the Mich­ iganders of that section than this an­ nual gathering, and the coming one promises to be a bigger success tha? ever. Arrangements are already be­ ing made for the picnic and the plans that are being perfected Indicate an Immense gathering of Wolverines on the date mentioned that will far sur­ pass any former gathering, if. not double it. The officers of the Mich­ igan society are putting forth every effort and are planning to have this third annual the grandest time and the greatest gathering ever held in southern California. The date falls on January 25, as January 26, the date of Michigan's admission to the union, comes Sunday. If the weather is bad the picnic will be postponed .for one week. Plan for Next Meeting. The .Michigan Engineering society, which closed a two-days’ session at Battle Creek, will hold its next annual meeting in Lansing. Lansing and Ag­ ricultural college men were prominent tn the meeting of the society. Dr. A. C. Lane, state geologist, was elected president Dr. H. K. Vedder and Dean G. W. Bissell were on the committee which drew up resolutions on the death of Frank Hodgman of Climax, for many years secretary or president of the society.

M. A. C., '06 were present at the meeting. Bird Demands $200,000. Attorney General Bird has made a demand on the surety companies on the bond of the Chelsea Savings bank given to the state for the safety of its funds for the full amount of the com­ pany’s obligation, $200,000. This de­ mand was preceded by a formal de­ mand upon the Chelsea bank for the funds of the state on deposit there. The action of the attorney general will lead to a suit for'the determina­ tion of the liability of the surety companies. Trust Company Is Receiver.

Warning to Governor — Com mitt•• Says There Was No Warrant for Asking Federal Aid and Nevada Should Preserve Order. : Washington, Jan. 18.—The president has determined to withdraw the fed­ eral troops'from Goldfield, Nev., shortly after the legislature begtns Its special session Thursday. This intention was made known at the White House Sun­ day when the report of the special in­ vestigating committee was made pub­ lic, together with a letter from the president to Gov. Sparks, dated Janu­ ary 4. The president says he shall bo gov­ erned by the recommendations in the report unless the governor can show that the statements of the report are not in accordance with the facts. The report says: “ "The conditions did not support tbe general allegations in the governor’s request for troops, nor were his spe­ cific statements established, to any such extent as to justify his use of these statements for tbe purpose of getting federal troops. ' Urges Removal of Troops. It concludes with this recommenda­ tion: "But we must also firmly believe that upon the asrembltng of the legis­ lature or within a few days there­ after, the troops should be removed, regardless of any request for their re­ tention that may be made by either the legislature or the. governor of Nevada, it being essential that the state of Nevada shall understand this situation completely, shall recognize the fact that there will; at that date, be thrown upon It. and- it alone, the primary responsibility of keeping or­ der and that, recognizing this responsi­ bility, it may take such action as is the duty of .the state and as will be sufficient in the premises." President to Governor. In his letter to Gov. Sparks, after reviewing the steps so far taken lit the Goldfield mining trouble, the pres­ ident continues: ”1 have just received the report of these three gentlemen (Murray, Smith and Neill), which sets forth in the most emphatic language their belief, after a careful investigation on the ground, that there was no warrant whatever for calling on the president for troops, and troopc should not be definitely in Goldfield. The report fur­ ther states that there was no insurrec tion against the power of the state at the time the troops were called, that nobody* supposed that there was such an insurrection and that none of the conditions described in section • 9297­ 3-9 of the revised statutes as warrant­ ing Interference by the federal gov­ ernment existed, and that the effort was and is plainly an effort by the state of Nevada to secure the per formance by the United States- of tbe ordinary police duties which should, as a matter of course, be performed by Nevada herself. Local Power Enoughs The report further says: "There Is absolutely no question that If the state of Nevada and the county of Es­ meralda exercised the powers with i their disposal they can maintain sat­ isfactory order In Goldfield- that so far these authorities have dofle noth­ ing. desiring to throw their own burdens on the federal government for the maintenance of those elementary conditions of order • for wnich they, and they only, are responsible. "I agree with the recommendations of this report, of which I inclose a copy, and shall act accordingly. Un­ less it can be shown that the state­ ments of the report are not in accord­ ance with the facts, it will be incum­ bent upon the legislature of Nevada, when It convenes, itself to provide for enforcing the laws of the state. The state of Nevada must Itself mike an effort to perform the duties incident to the existence of a state.” SCORES PERISH IN THEATER HHHH Shoes/ Boyertown, Pa., Jan. 14.—A catas­ trophe terrifying in Its details and sickening in Its results Monday swept nearly 100 souls of this town Into Garland and Black Diamond eternity in almost the twinkling of an Shoes are without question the eye and injured nearly three-score, roost serviceable shoes on the. many of them fatally.

Immediately there was a wild rush for the exits. Men endeav­ ored to still the panic, but their voices could not be heard. It seemed as though nearly the entire audience rushed for the exits the moment the explosion occurred. -Building Afire; Floor Collapses. In their attempt to quiet the crowd 1 those persons who. were on the stage accidentally upset the coal oil lamps used as footlights. The burning oil was scattered in all directions and the lamps which were used to light the opera house exploded, throwing oil over the terror-stricken people who were fighting frantically to gain exits. Then a section of the floor gave way, precipitating scores of persons to the basement. As the floor collapsed tbe shrieks of the helpless persons who were carried down were heard for blocks. It was scarcely five minutes from the time of the explosion of the tank until the entire structure was like a roaring furnace. There was a wild scramble for the stairway leading to the balcony and scores of women and children -were knocked down and trampled upon, many of them doubt­ less being crushed to death.

THOUGHT HE WAS BURIED ALIVE THE PERSONAL EXPKRfKNOK OF KTHAN ALLKN DOE I remember going to bed. I have clear recollection of getting between the sheets and ordering my thoughts CASTORlA recall there was nothing unusual tn tlons in the brief period that elapsed before slumber such as to presage any strange illness or cataleptic seizure. I had eaten heartily of lobster and cheese shortly before bed lime, but so perfect had my digestion always been To go to bed upon a live lobster in his full armament of* claws and squeezers might have discomforted me. but to go to bed, as the saying is. upon a dead one and cooked, gave me no gloomy forebodings whatsoever. Tbe incidents I am about to relate are enough to shake tbe stoutest cour­ age and disturb the very depth of ths soberest logic and calm judgment. If, therefore, to follow'me through this grim narrative shall threaten to nnseat the reason or shock , unduly the nervous bystem. I beg yon will take warning thus early, that no untoward results may come to you through this strange tale. I must have been taken off in my sleep, so It..seemed when I returned again to consciousness. But what hor­ rible dread oppressed me as my. senses gradually resumed their functions! A feeling of closeness, of shut-lnnesa. of breathless darkness too deep to pene­ trate. I could not cry ouL for my throat*was dry and my vocal chords were paralyzed. A terror too vast and- aw to! for words overcame me— a blind, unreasoning, Instinctive dread. For, through the dim shadows of my half-formed thoughts came to me the awful, startling, predominating, ungetawayfromable truth—I had been bur­ ied alive. It la a solemn thing to wake and discover this to be the case. It is so revoking, so unthoughtful of one’s friends, so lonesome, so unfathomabjti,so intense. To have gone to sleep in apparent health and strength, looking forward joyfully to the morrow; to have been seized In slumber with some catalepsy so closely resembling disso­ lution as to be indistinguishable, to have had untruthful eulogies pro­ nounced, and then to have been con­ signed to earth in this narrow box, to wake betimes and shiver with mortal terror. Gradually I regained the use of my limbs, although my voice remained as dead as 1 was thought to have been. Slowly I drew one hand up by my side, for the narrowness of my eell for­ bade outstretching IL I felt about my bead—there was the smooth hardness and polished surface that could mean but one thing. Above me I felt, and 1 encountered tbe same bard, polished,, stubborn, immovable, wooden ob­ stacle. I felt my. hair rising erect from Its roots, and turning slowly gray in this perpetual night Then I thought I saw a reflection of my countenance in the shadows above me, and I remembered that tnere was usually glass Just above the upper part of the body and that my 'line* meats might be dimly reflected therein. Tho thoughts that earns this horrible time I shall able accurately to set down. They flashed like lightning upon me and as quickly forsook me. They charged me in columns, battaliona, armies, myri­ ads. torturing me with their infinite variety and their acute dearness. 1 felt If I could only cry out—shriek in the hope that my tones might pene­ trate tbe eajith above mo—it would af­ ford me some relief. Rut my voice remained useless to me, and I lay there shivering and silent, wondering how long 1 might survive. Suddenly, strangest of all. 1 felt the wrappings about me move. 1 folk a thin current of air strike me. cooling my hot forehead and appearing to come through some aperture In my inclooure. I felt a slight pressure upon me, up and down, as U a hand gently passed over me. What awful my complication was this? Was resting place being desecrated by ghouls in search of gain? Still the hand stroked me up and down. 1 was sure it. was a hand now for I felt tbe pressure of fingers. Yet 1 lay there helpless, unable to move, un­ able even to turn over. 1 felt my hair turning from gray to pure white. felt I could withstand do more, fa a few minutes I would go mad. But hush! in the darkness then the sweet, delirious unforgetable mel­ ody of it 1 shall never forget. It said: "We’i only 18 minvtee funs Roches­ ter, boss.

Do Not Let It Get Dirty and Dry as It Will Be Sure to Break. ‘There is nothing like leather.” But there is nothing like knowing how to keep your leather goods in fine con­ dition, too. Leather Is composed of a mass of fine tendrils, intimately Inter­ locked and entwined. When in good, pliable condition, each tendril is ca­ pable ot much stretching. If allowed to become dry and hard, when the leather is subjected to a severe puli, the tendrils break instead of stretthlng. But this does not mean that leather boots or harness should be kept soaked with oil or dressing. Elbow grease applied in quantity is better. "AH dressings should be applied sparingly," is the sound advice of a saddlery . concern. Black oil should always be used on black harness, and not neatsfoot oil, as -the latter, will draw out the black dye and leave the harness brown. The black harness, fats now on the market make excellent farm harness dressing. 'They contain the "nourishment" necessary for keep­ ing the harness in good order. But first, all dirt should be washed off with luke warm water and ordinary . soap. The black fat should then be applied with a .cloth, given a short -time to penetrate the leather and then rubbed dry with another cloth. Some make the mistake of oiling without unbuckling the harness. The parts that need nourishment mc-’t are under, the buckles where the metal causes hardness and brittleness. If people would vary the holes of the harness occasionally it would - last much .longer. ’ • An objection to neatsfoot oil is that it Inclines to wash off the beeswax from -the stitches, -leaving the bare thread, which then soon breaks.

Scarcely had Custer's slender column of horsemen vanished •across . the summit before Reno’s command advanced, trotting down the valley, the Arikara scouts in the lead. They had been chosen to strike the first blow, to force their way into the lower ■ village, and thus to draw the defendtag warriors to their front, while Cus­ ter*, men were to charge upon the rear. A half-mile, a mile, Reno’s troops rode, with no sound breaking the *1lence but the pounding of hoofs, the tinkle of accoutrements. Then, round­ ing a sharp projection of earth and rock, the scattered lodges of the In­ dian village already partially revealed to those In advance, the riders were brought to sudden halt by a fierce crackling of rifles from rock and ra­ vine. Men fell cursing, and the frightened horses swerved, their riders ‘ struggling madly with their mounts, the column thrown into momentary confusion. But the surprised cavalry­ man, quailing beneath the hot ■ fire poured into them, rallied to the shouts of their officers, and swung Into a. slender battle front, stretching out their thin line from the bank of the river to the sharp uplift of the westera bluffs. Scarcely 150 white troop­ ' ers waited to .tern as best they might that fierce onrush of 1,200 battleerased braves. For an almost breathless space thtose mingled hordes of Sioux and Chey­ ennes hesitated to drive straight home V their death-blow. They knew those allent men in the blue shirts, knew they died hard. Upon that slight (ip pgus. pivoted the fate of the day; ' upon It huni the lives of those other men riding boldly and trustfully across the sunlit ridges above. “Audacity, always audacity,** that Is the accepted ■■ motto for a cavalryman. And be th. what it may, It was here that | ’ Maj. Reno failed. In that supreme in­ stant he was guilty of hesitancy, .‘do.bt, delay. He chose defense in . preference to attack, dallied where he should have acted. The observing savages, gathering courage from his * apparent weakness, burst forth in reatetleas torrent against the slender, unsupported line, turned hl. flank by .!• one fierce charge, and hurled th. struggling trooper, back with a rush into th. narrow strip of timber border­ tag the river. f Th. whole narrow valley seemed to »• swarm with braves; they poured forth from sheltering coulees and shadowed ' ravines; they dashed down In counte 1ms number, from the distant village. Custer, now far away behind the bluff*, and almost beyond sound of -. the firing, was utterly Ignored. Every savage chief knew exactly where that column was, but it could wait Its turn. In leaderlee* effort to break away from that swift-gathering cordon, befor. the red, remorseleu folds should close tighter and crush them to death, ' the trooper., half of them already dis­ mounted. burst from cover in an en■' deavor to attain the shelter of th. bluffs. The deadly Indian rifles flamed in their faces, and they were ’■ lurled back, a mere fleeing mob, ' searching for nothing in that moment ot terror but a possible passageway . across the stream. Through some rar. providence df God, they chanced to strike the banks at a spot where ‘oUto river proved fordable. They ’ *n plunged headlong in, officer, and men ' ©emmlngled, the Indian bulletsi churn­ tag up the water on every side. Tta Mm in that wild retreat (wlpcb Reno later called a ’’charge’’) was heavy, th. affect demoralizing; but thee, who aacaped found a spot well suited for Maaae. Even as they swung down from off their wounded, panting horse, and flung th.ms.lv4 fiat upon their face* « sWMfl wftS hastily leveled carbines the river banks below, Benteen came trotting gallantly dowa the valley to their aid, his trooper, fresh th* firing-line. The wont was o«r, and like maddened Hons, the rallied soldiers of tho Seventh, cursing their tolly, turned to strike and slay. A line of skirmishers was hastily thrown forward along the edge ot th. bluff, while volunteers,. urged by th. agonised cries of the wounded, en­ deavored vainly to procure a supply of water from the river. Again and again they made the effort, only to be driven back by the d«dly Indian rifle fire. By th re. o'clock? although th. majority of the savages had departed down the river, enough remained to keep up a galling fire, and hold Reno strictly on the defensive. As the men lay exposed to the con­ tinuous snipping Are, above the sur­ rounding din were borne to their ears the reports of distant guns. It came distinctly from tho northward, grow­ ing heavier and more continuous. None among them doubted its ominous meaning. Custer was already engaged in hot action at the right of the Indian village. Why were they kept lying there in Idleness? Why were they not pushed forward to do their part? They looked into each other's faces. God! They were 300 now; they could sweep aside like chaff that fringe of red skirmishers If only they got the word! Officer after officer, unable to restrain his impatience, strode back across the bluff summit, amid whistling bullets, and personally begged the major to speak the one word which should hurl them to the rescue. They cried like women, they swore through clinched teeth, they, openly exhibited their con­ tempt for such a commander, yet the discipline of army service made active disobedience impossible. They went reluctantly back, as helpless as chil­ dren. It was four o’clock, the shadows of the western bluffs already darkening the river bank. Suddenly a faint cheer ran along the lines, and the men lifted themselves to gaze up the river. Urg­ ing the tired animals to a trot, the strong band of a trooper grasping every halter-strap, Brant was swing­ ing his long pack-train up the smokewreathed valley. The outriding flank­ ers exchanged constant shots with th. skulking savages hiding in every ra­ vine and coulee. Pausing only to pro­ tect their wounded, fighting their way step by step, N troop ran the gantlet and came charging into-the cheering lines with every pound of their treas­ ure safe. Weir of D, whose dismount­ ed troopers held that portion of th. line, strode a pace foxward to greet the leader, and as the extended hands of th J officers met, there echoed down to them from the north th. reports of two heavy volleys, fired In rapid suc­ cession. The sounds were clear, dis­ tinctly audible even abov. th. uproar of the valley; Th. heaVy eyes of th. two soldiers met, their dust-itreaked faces flushed. “That was a signal, Custer's signal for help?" the younger man cried, im­ pulsively, hl* vole, full of agony. “For God’s sake, Weir, what are you fel­ lows waiting here for?’* The other uttered a groan, his hand flung In contempt back toward th. bluff summit. “The cowardly fool won’t move; he's whipped to death now.’’ "Reno, you mean? Whipped? You haven't lost 20 men. Is this the Sev­ enth?—skulking here under cover while Custer begs help? Doesn’t the man know? Doesn’t he understand? By heaven, I’ll face him myself! Ill make him act. even if I have to damn him to his face." He swung his horse with a jerk to th. left, but even as the spurs touched, Weir grasped the taut rein firmly. “It's no use, Brant. It’s been done; we've all been at him. H.’s simply lost his head. Know? Of course h. knows. Martini struck us just below here, a* w. were coming in, with a message from Custer. It would hav. stirred the blood of anyone but him —Oh. God! It’s terrible.” . -A maaaaga? What wa« it?" "Cook wrote it, and addressed it to Bauteen. It read: ’Com. on. Big rib tag.. Be quick. Bring- peeks.’ And then, *P. 8.—Bring packs.* That means they want ammunition badly; they’re fighting to the death out yonder, and they need powder. Oh, the coward!” Brant's eyes ran down th. waiting tin. of his own men, sitting their sad­ dles beside the halted pack animals. Ho leaned over and dropped on. hand heavily on Weir’s shoulder. "The rest of you can do a* you please, but N troop is going to take those ammu­ nition packs to Custer if there’s any possible way to get through, orders or no orders." He straightened up in the saddle, and his voice sounded dowa th. wearied Ila. ilk. the blast of a trumpet. . "Attention! N troop* Right fare; dross. Number four bring forward the ammunition packs.

"Unsling carbine*—-load!” W*lr. the veteran soldier, glaaced down that ateady line of ready troop­ ers, and then back to Brant's face. "Do you mean it? Are you going up those bluffs? Good Heavens, man, it will mean a courtmartlaJ.” “Custer commands the Seventh. I command the pack-train,” said Brant. "Hl* order* are to bring up the pack*. Perhaps I can't get through alone, but I'll try. Better a courtmartial than to fall those men out there. Going? Of course I'm going. Into line—taka In­ tervals—forward!” ', "Attention, D troop!" It wa* Weir’s voice, eager and determined now. Like an undammed current bls orders rang out above the uproar, and in- a moment tho gallant troopers of N and D, some on foot, some in saddle, were rushing up the face of the bluff, their officers leading, the precious ammunition packs at the center, all alike scram­ bling for the summit, in spite of the crackling of Indian rifles from every side. Panting, breathless from the hard climb, their carbines spitting fire while the rapidly massing savages be­ gan circling their exposed position, the little band fought their way for­ ward a hundred yards. Then they baited, blocked by the number* bar­ ring their path, g’ancing back anx­ iously in hope that their effort would encourage others to join them. They could do it; they could do it If only the rest of the boys would come. They poured In their volleys and waited. But R«no made no move. Weir and Brant, determined to hold every Inch thus gained, -threw the dismounted men on their faces behind every projectiop of earth, and encircled the ridge with flame. If they could not .advance, they would not be driven back. Messenger after messenger, taking life in hand, was sent skurrying down the bluff, to beg reinforce­ ments to. push on for the rescue, swearing it was possible. But it was after five o’clock before Reno moved. Then cautiously he advanced hl* col­ umn toward where N and D troops yet held desperately to the exposed ridge. He came too late. That distant firing had ceased, and all need for further advance had ended. Scarcely had re­ inforcements attained the summit be­ fore ’ the torrent of savagery burst screeching on their- front. From point to point the grim strug­ gle raged, till nightfall wrought par­ tial cessation. The wearied troopers stretched out their llnea so a* to pro­ tect the packs and th* field hospital, threw themselves on th* ground, dig­ ging rifle-pit* with knives and tin pans. Not until nine o'clock did the Indian fire slacken, and then the vil­ lage became a scene ot savage revel, the wild yelling plainly audible to ths soldiers above. With a swing of the. hand and a hoarse shout of “Dispatche*!’’ be wm - beyond them, bending low .over his saddle pommel, his eyes on the dust cloud of the moving column. The extended line of horsemen, riding in columns of four, cam* to a sudden bait, and he raced on. A little squad of officers, several of their number dismounted, were out In front, stand Ing grouped just beyond the' summit of a slight elevation, apparently look­ ing off into the valley tIH-ough some cleft in the bluff beyond. Standing among these, Hampton perceived the long fair hair, and ths erect figure clad in the well-known frontier, cos­ tume, of the msn he . sought—the proud, dashing leader of light cav­ alry, that beau ideal of the sabreur, the one he dreaded most, the one he loved best—Custer. The commander stood, field-glasses in hand, pointing down Into the valley, and the dispatch bearer, reigning in his horse, his lips white but resolute, trotted straight up the slope toward him. Custef wheelad, annnyod at the interruption, and Hampton swung down from the sad­ dle, his rein flung across his arm, took a single step forward, lifting his hand in salute, - and- held forth the - sqaled packet “Dispatches, sir,” he said, simply, standing motionless as a statue. The commander, barely glancing toward him, instantly tore open the long official envelope and ran his eyes over the dispatch'amid a hush in the conversation. "Gentlemen," he commented to the little group gathered about him. yet without glancing up from the paper tn his'hand, "Crook was defeated over on the Rosebud the 17th, and Torcetl to retire.

We are more often misCrted t}van a United States senator the reason that we have no regular ■MMing place, and for tbe further reason that we discuss more questions than any other society. There is nothing that escapes us and the: first twirling of something new under the cun is sifted through our mill until it in laid so bare that the commonest ssdnd could see all of it at a glance. I heard a fellow say the other day that no person could be a Christian and .play cards. .It Is. needless to say, that the fellow is one who has just embarked on the boat which travels tbe straight and narrow way, and that his opinion, coming as it does, from one who is so competent to judge, must be taken into consideration. If there is any harm in card playing it ia made by the players and not by the cqara game itself, nor by the fact that the instruments used in playing the jgame are made from pasteboard, for much of the same pasteboard goes in­ to the manufacture of Church cards. There was a time when the oldfashioned preacher would get red in ths face telling you tbe harm that lurked in every pack of. cards, no matter for what they were used, but that time has passed, and the in­ telligence of tbe general people is fast relegating such fanatical notions to the rear. For a man who never was able to play a good game of cards to get up and tell you that there was harm in card playing looks about as reasonable to me as the temperance lecturer who never tasted ef the red liquor exhorting about the terrible­ ness of drunkenness. And speaking about drunkenness puts me in mind that we are soon to have a vote on tbe local option question in this county and our club will have plenty then to occupy ourdebatera. As near as I can figure out now both sides are going to win. Some of tbe local optioners are so certain of victory that they are planning already on how they are going to. get their drinks when the saloons are closed, and the saloon men are so confident that the question will not carry that they will laugh at a 'man when he says that local option will carry. The fact in the matter, as it seems to me, is this: Neither side -has won yet and no matter which side lays down that will be the side that will suffer defeat. Looking at the matter from tbe standpoint of the number of signatures received to tlx* ■petitions one would erroneously fall Into the opinion that tlie question would carry in a walk-a way. It is a mighty easy thing for a man to pul his name to a petition when it doesn't carry with it the possibility of. re­ lieving him of some of bis cash, but once no has signed his name to the petition the next tiling is to make him vote that way. It is my, opinion that there were a good many people who signed the petitions who did so from tbe sense of giving the voters a chance to decide ',!><■ question. As far as 1 am concerned I am not positive which aide will win; neither am I uerfectly satisfied as to which side will prove tbe best to have; there is lots of argument on both sides, as there is to a* questions which come up for us Yankees to decide, for when a Yankee can't find “the other side” then it is a mighty dull time. , There are mighty few farmers in the business who get more returns for their money than Ed. Licbhauser does. Ed. is one of the new business farmers and what he knows about fanning is a combination of short practical study, common sense and business principles. He takes a field that is run down and he builds it up again; be takes from the field all that it will produce and puts back enough to keep the field in a little better con­ dition taan it was when the last crop was taken off. He keeps strict tab on everything pertaining to his farms and can tell at a glance what every inch of his land is doing for him. If a field is not producing what be knows it ought to he proceeds to either put it in condition to raise more or he puts a crop on it that will produce the de­ sired results. He brought a load of cloverseed to town the other day that has caused the members of the club to ait up and stretch their necks a little. The load contained somewhere around fifty bushels and the check he received for it fattened his bank account to the amount of nearly five hundred dollars. This reminds mo of the fellow out north of town who had a farm that for years the best he could do was to Eten bushels of wheat to the acre. sold tbe farm after be had owned it for a number of years to one of his successful neighbors. Tbe sale was made in the winter after the crop of wheat had been put in and all the buyer did was to walk across the field in the spring and cut it in tbe summer when the yield was thirty bushels to the acre. There are very few grown men, or ■’•ven "stout boys” in this country who have any pride in being out ot busi­ ness. Occasionally one is found, however, and when found he is worth making a note of. We ran across, a gunuine specimen the other day, or, rather, he ran against us—em­ phatically against us—against our Mings, against our judgment,, against our sympathy, but not against our pity. We did pity him, but that was tbe extent of our recognition. He was dressed faultlessly—that is, if the extreme of the latter-day fashion can be called faultless; be had beautiful white hands and teeth, his hair was parted in the middle, hl» downy mustache adroitly curled, a gold mounted eyeglass dangled from a batton bole in his vest, and a “nobby” little walking stick was twisted in bls bejeweled lady fingers. He was proud to say that he was a “gentleman of leisure.” We inferred us much be­ fore he said it. What else could have lw«n Inferred? What earthly use could the mortal thing be put to? Physical force be had none: his mind was as vacant as an exhausted re­ ceiver; and he seemed to have no excuse for living'except to advertise Nome tailoring establishment. It is something to- the credit of tills country that such specimens of the genus homo are rare. We can only wish that they were so rare that circus men would be induced to cage them with their monkeys; tho tbe monkeys would be apt to protest against the companion­ ship. Witi> the laying aside of the parcels post bill and tbe advent of the new postofflee ruling relegating mail order organs to the attic, the mail order houses are getting the axe where Nellie wore her beads. The members of this society have lugged home literature (?) of this stamp for a long time'and many of the members have more than once been disgusted after reading several columns of a thrilling story to find in the middle of the climax that the hero who was being borne down upon by the blood-thirsty villain “snatched, from his pocket a bottle of Dr. • Nerve’s famous Eradicator and after taking one dose of it was rejuvenated and able to distance his pursuers with ease.” It looks a little to a man on the outside that the postmaster general in pro­ pounding the latter order was merely making an effort to square himself for trying to force the former upon the people. There were tons and tons of these cheap papers sent out, .some of them qame for a lifetime for ten cents and others were - forced upon the people. They were of no particular benefit only to advertise fake prepara-’ tions and the big mail order houses and the members of the club will now proceed to get square with the local paper. , ■ • • There is more than one thing that makes me tired. However there is one thing that makes me more tired than most other things, and that is the habit some men have of running into debt, especially the younger men. They start out as soon as they find some one will trust them and before long they are habitual debtors. It is mighty easy for the promising young man to get into debt but it is not so easy for him to get .out of debt, and recalling something 1 read some time ago that hits what I want to tell I will give it. “Dept is a mortgage on your salary, ft is a monument to the young man's weakness, a grown man's folly and an old man’s failure. Debt is discounting tomorrow’s liberty for today's happiness. Debt is a quit-claim to your wife's con­ fidence, your children's ambitions and your own self-respect.” If you are not in debt you will be able to hold your head up higher, you will not have palpitation of the heart every time you see one of your creditors, because you will be working today for tomorrow’s happiness and not to make good for yesterday’s extrav­ agances. In other words a dead horse is the hardest thing in the world to pay for. There are a lot of politicans who are not always looking for a chance to jump into the “band wagon,” and our congressman E. L. Hamilton is one of them. We have mighty little ■confidence in a big man who can not select his own political music.' The real idea back of politics is not to se­ cure offices for yourself and friends because they happen to exploit your ideas but to do something for the country and the people. That was one of the late Mr. McKinley's good points; he never forced anything upon the people, but instead he found out what the people wanted and then gave it to them. This talk about who one is going to support for the presidential nomination is the smallest kind of "little” politics, and shows plainly that the supporter gets something for his support at.tbe expense of the people. Mr. Hamilton, in a recent interview expressed his sentiments in tills presidential proposition in terms, that those people who are showing themselves to the people with the presidential apple in their eyes, so forcibly- that they know he is from Missouri when it comes to climbing into anybody’s bandwagon. It strikes me that the wheels of jus­ tice around this county need a little readjusting and not quite so much oil. When it becomes necessary to turn the county law machine loose for the purpose of making collections for ite people then it is time for the people to call a halt, for the county is a mighty expensive agent in the matter of making collections, as will be noticed by tbe “fiasco” which oc­ curred in this village last week, when it cost the county in the neighbor­ hood of a hundred dollars to make a collection of ten dollars. Of course the people who benefitted mercenarily by the transaction have nothing to complain about for the county is good for it as long as the people pay their taxes, but I believe that tbe people will some day demand a change. We have read the poem about “The Man With the Hoe,’’ the song about “The Man with the Ladder and the Hose,” the storv of “Tbe Man Behind the Gun,” and now wtil some tone write the .M?ry of “The Chappie Behind the Coffln-nail?” Of all the miss-begotten, ill-mannered, stinking members of the genua -.-Mephitis *the cigarette fiend ia the worst. ‘People .with a reasonable amount of common sense detest the cigarette smoker as much as a boy detests a girl's sled. What has become of the sewer proposition? Has the, common council forgotten about it? It would seem to me that tills was as good a time to consider this matter as any time. There is no question but what the people want a chance to vote on tbe proposition and it would save expense to have it come up at the village election in March; therefore If there is going to be anything done this spring it had better be started at once. We are all struggling forcibly for fame and money, and will not stop for anything except to abuse those who have already succeeded in ac­ quiring that which we are seeking. f Little Rudolph Wotring is not much bettor at this writing.

Mrs. Dukes Probably a Suicide. -Frankfort, Ind., Jan. 20.—The runeral of Mrs. Dukes, whose body was found Saturday morning with » bullet hole through the heart, .wap held Sunday. There were no develop­ ments tending to show whether it was a case of murder or suicide, but Chief of Police Bird said in hisI opinion It was suicide. . New York, Jan. 21.—Mrs. Evelyn Nesbit Thaw told her story Monday for the second time. The repetition lacked the vitality of the first recital, but the great crowd in the courtroom where her husband. Harry Kendall Thaw, is on trial for the killing of Stanford White, listened intently to every word. • Justice Dowling had ruled that he found no warrant in the law for clos­ ing the doors against the public, and there was a great clamor for admit­ tance from a throng which hung about the building all day long. District At­ torney Jerome, falling in his move to exclude spectators, took occasion, when It came his turn to cross-ex­ amine the witness, to bring out all of the fetalis of the first trial which Mr. Littleton of the defense had omitted on his direct Inquiry of the witness. Mr. Jerome also sought to block Mrs. Thaw’s testimony in Its entirety on the ground that a conversation which occurred three yfcara before the tragedy could not have any bearing on Thaw's mental condition on the night of the homicide. Justice Dowling overruled the objection. Jerome’s Disconcerting Tactics. Mrs. Thaw was on the stand all day long, and Mr. Jerome announced when adjournment for the day was taken that his cross-examination would oc­ cupy a greater part of Tuesdav's ses­ sions. Mrs. Thaw's story was broken Into bits by constantly repeated objections fxoin the prosecution, who sought to exclude all details on the ground ot immateriality. The frequent abjec­ tions led Justice Dowling to request Mr. Littleton to cut his examination as short as possible. Mr. Idttleton took this course only to find that on cross-examination Mr. Jerome insisted upon reading from last year’s record nearly even- word the witness had then uttered. He did this under the privilege of framing new questions. Mr. Littleton objected to it, declar­ ing that the district attorney, by read­ ing the former testimony in a dis­ agreeable manner, was trying to dis­ credit the witness in the eyes of the jury when he could not discredit her In any way by a direct question. Severe Ordeal for Witness. Mr. Jerome made no attempt to dis­ guise a tone of complete contempt in reading the testimony. Contempt also characterized most of the questions he put to the witness, whom he attacked in the loudest voice he baa yet used at the trial. Mr. Jerome plunged at once Into the more intimate details of the testimony and made no delicate choice of words In framing his Interrogations. Mr. Littleton's objections on the ground of "offenslveness and impro­ priety" frequently were sustained by the court Mrs. Thaw matched wits against both District Attorney Jerome and bls assistant. Mr. Garvar., who was ever at his chiefs elbow with new sugges­ tions. Sne fenced with them as skillfully as she did a year ago, and at times reflected the mood of the dis­ trict attorney by answering him In a voice pitched In as loud a key as bis own. The prosecutor's pitiless and aggressive questions often struck fire and once when Mr. Jerome demanded to know if the young woman had told Thaw certain things, she replied hotly: "Yes. I told him, but 1 did not use the language you are using." "Don’t argue with me. madam.” shouted Jerome, who then had the re­ ply stricken from the record. Says Thaw Took Poison. But one new feature appeared In the testimony of the witness. This was when she told about Thaw swal­ lowing the contents of a bottle of laudanum at Monte Carlo In 1904 in an attempt to end his life. Previous­ ly to this, at tbe Grand hotel In New York, Thaw had talked of suicide, his wife declared, and bad suggested that she also should take poison as both their lives had been ruined. Mrs. Thaw said she humored Thaw at the time and diverted his mind. She was out of the room when he finally took tbe poison in Europe. “Why didn’t' you tell us about this at the first trial?" demanded Mr. Jerome. “Because Mr. Del mis said it might make Harry out too crazy," the wit­ ness retorted before the district attor­ ney could stop heh .

He Isn't up to my shoulders. And Fat Allen Is just my height. Gee! a fellow can't ha,ve any fun with the fellows when he wears stockings like a girl. The fellows all laugh at me and call me ‘Spin­ dles , " 'Well, just call them 'Stubby' and ’Baby Elephant.'" said Doodles’ sis­ ter, who secretly sympathized with her small brother.

REMAINS BROUGHT TO NASHVILLE Was for Many Years a Business Man of This Village. Inter­ ment In Lakeside. William E. Buel, who for many years was a prominent businessman of this village, passed away at his home in Detroit last Sunday morning after an illness extending over a period of two years. The remains were brought here Tuesday noon and interment made in Lake view cemetery. The re­ mains were accompanied here by Mrs. Buel and daughters, Rhoda and Elda, and H. A. Durkee and Will Kuhlman, and were met at the depot by the M asonic lodge of this village and taken to the cemetery where the beautiful rites of tliis ord<>r, of which Mr. Buell was a member, were conducted. Mr. Buell was born in Monroe coun­ ty, New York, on August 26,1842. He came to Michigan when he .was quite young and conducted business in Albion, Middleville and Cedar Springs before coming to Nashville about twenty four years ago. He was mar­ ried in 1880 and is survived by his wife and two daughters, Rhoda and Elda. Mr. Buel was prominently identified with the business interests of Nash­ ville for a good many years. He with Mr. E. R. White conducted a grocery store here for over five years; he was identified with Dr. J. A. Baughman in a drug store here and at Hastings and was also in the jewelry business with A. E. Knight foi a few years. Later he liecame owner of the Wolcott house and was its landlord lor several years. He was proprietor of a saloon here when he first came and was also asso­ ciated with other interests. About two years ago he was taken ill and suffered a slight stroke of.anoplexy. He seemed to rally from that out remained in a partially helpless condition and 'after a time begun to grow worse, until it became apparent io the family that he would get no tatter and that it would be tatter to move to Detroit where the elder daughter, Rhoda, was working, and where they could belter care for him. Therefore they went to that city a year ago last September. He gradually (crew worse and became almost helpess some time ago, but for all his suffering ho was patient and accepted his lot as he had accepted life. Last Friday he lost consciousness and it was easily discernable that his time on earth was very . short. Everything that loving hands could do was tend­ ered him in his illness and he passed to the unknown without regaining con­ sciousness. Mr. Buel was a man of gruff nature yet he was as tender as a child. It was often said of him that his heart must have been as large as an ox. He was of the rugged type of man whose honesty could be plainly read from his face and therefore he numbered his friends by everybody who knew him. He was generous and free hearted and what he would not do for a friend could not be done. In fact he was so free­ hearted that his generosity was often imposed upon. He was honest himself and he thought that every man ought to be hnnost. He will be missed by many of his old Nashville friends whom he held dear and he often asked, when his mind be­ came impaired during his last- illness to be taken ‘-home to Nashville." He was not a professor of Christianity but had a religion of honesty and ten­ derness of heart that endeared him to all who became acquainted with hfm. Thosa from away who attended the burial were his brother, George Buel of'Hilton, New York, and Mrs. J. O’Dell of Grand Rapids, H. A. Durkee and Will Kuhlman of Detroit, Thos. Purkey of Lansing and Dr*. L. F. Weaver of Charlotte. FARMER TELLS WHY THE MAIL ORDER HOUSES ARE OFTEN . PATRONIZED A farmer reader, writing to an ex­ change makes a few statements in re­ gard to the occasional articles that appear in print about the mail order hou-es. He says:— "If the mail order houses get SI,000 out of this county each month that belongs to the home merchants the fault is with the merchants themselves. The mail order houses advertise and tri ve us prices on everthing they offer for sale. They tell us what they have and what they want for it. O: course we sr*-t soaked onpe in a while and if w • do we can try some other house. Most of the home merchants who NUMBER 23 advertise at all don’t- quote prices. They neglect to tell ns what we wa*t to know—the price. Of course we eaa £» to the store and ask the price ef is article and that, but yon know how it is, one doesn’t know so well exactly what he wants to buy when he gets in. a store as when he is at home. And here is . where the mail order houses make their hit. -They send their advertising matter into our homes and we read it when we haven’t anything else to do and every member of the family who reads their stuff usually sees something he or some other member of the family wants and many orders are made up and seat out iust at such times. “Right here is where the home mer­ chant falls down. If he-talked up his business Io us in our homes the same as the mail order houses do, the people would lie in to see. them the nexq time ttay came to town and in many cases extra trips would be made to get the things at once that we didn't know we wanted until they were brought to our attention. . “The home merchant can save the expense, of putting out a. catalogue. We people .read the home paper more carefully than we do catalogues, and if the merchant wants to talk business let him,put his talk in the homepaper, and frut 11 io 80 that we know he means business. The home merchant likely, nine time out of ten, sells his goods as cheaply the mail order houses, and I believe on many things they are iracb cheaper, but how are we to know if he doesn’t toll us about it. “A merchant must not think that even his best customer knows his goods so well that he can tell what he has without being shown. It is none of my business how the merchant runs his business, but I don’t like to see their roasts in the paper all the time about us fellows who get a little stuff shipped in onoein a while, ^nd never anything said on the other side. There are always two sides to a ques­ tion, and I have given you mine. If it is worth anything to you, you can have it.’* . SMALL POX NEAR HERE. A case of the real small pox has broken out at the home of E. D. Wil­ liams, east of the village, and another person is ill with the disease at the nome of Burl Banta north of the vil­ lage. The latter is Mr. S. S. Banta of Phcenix, Nebraska, and the former is his wife. Mr. and Mrs. Banta came here about six weeks ago to vis­ it relatives. The latter is a sister of Mrs. Williams. . They visited around for-several weeks and went over to Brookfield township, Eaton county, to visit.. This was about two weeks ago and exactly nine days after they returned from Brookfield Mrs. Banta was taken ill, which was on the fifteenth of this month. Mr. Banta .went to visit his brother, Burl Banta, who lives on the old Cole farm, north of the village, and was taken ill there, and both cases were diagnosed as small pox. Mr. Williams thought the disease looked suspicious and instituted a rigid quarantine on the place oven be­ fore the health officer of Vermontville township pronounced it small pox, since which time everything has been done to stop the spread of the disease. Mrs. Banta seems to haye a malig­ nant case, while her husband has the light form of it. It has been rumored that the dis­ ease was contracted while they were on their way here from the west, but it is believed by the family that the disease was contracted while they were visiting the relative in Brook­ field township. While they were there a boy returned to the house and complained of being ill, and it is pos­ sible that he was coming down with the disease nt the time. It seems that if the disease was con­ tracted while on their way here from the west it would have made itself manifest before the time it did, as over five weeks had elapsed sine* their arrival when they came down with It. Everything that can possibly be done for the unfortunate pair is being do he in both cases and it is to be hoped that the disease will not spread. TWENTY-FIFTH ANNIVERSARY. It was a jolly good time that was had by about sixty-tive of the friends of Mr. and Mrs. Henry C. Zuschnitt at their home on Queen street Thurs­ day evening, and one that will never be forgotten by the lucky ones who were there. It was the occasion of the twenty-fifth wedding, anniversary of Mr. and Mrs. Zuschnitt, and the guests were present in response to their invitation, to help them celebrate the event. Their marriage was solemnized at Woodland, Michigan, on January 23, 1882, by Rev. G. S. Banks, and they started housekeeping at once ia the house in Nashville in which they have ever since resided. Their union has been blessed by but one child, a daughter, Miss Cecil, who assisted her parents in receiving. The guests were made cordially at home and en­ joyed themselves in visiting and in listening to a short but pleasing' program, including a reminiscent talk by Mr. C. L. Glasgow, in whose em­ ploy Mr. Zuschnitt has been con­ tinuously since before his marriage. After the program an exquisite supper was served. Mr. and Mrs. Barker catering, and the bride’s table was spread with the .table-cloth the young people used when they were first mar­ ried. ItJin- oton treasured carefully unJ ia-'In a remarkably good state of pi- <>ervation.

Gov. Warner later announced that for­ mer Gov. John T. Rich had accepted an appointment as state treasurer to succeed Frank P. Glazier. In reply to Glazier’s charge that the governor was familiar with the conditions in Gla­ zier's savings bank at Chelsea - Gov. Warner says the bank reports re­ ceived at the executive office do not .show who are the borrowers from the bank, or what collateral la furnished, and that he did not know about cer­ tain heavy loans of the Chelsea Sav­ ings bank to Glazier and the letter’s relatives until Informed by Banking Commissioner Zimmerman, who has teen In office only one year. \ Earle Alee a Candidate. Horatio S. Earle, the “good roads” advocate, who is also a candidate for the Republican nomination as gov­ ernor. talked a little about the boom of John E. Bird for the position. "What would be your course If Mr. Bird should decide to accede to the wishes of his friends and announce bls willingness to accept a nomina­ tion?" Mr. Earle was asked. "Oh. I haven’t any patent on the thing.” he is quoted as replying. "Either Mr. Bird or I would make a good candidate, but I'm In the race and I’m going to stay. I'm going to be elected, too. You see there's one advantage I have over all the others. I stand for something. The people know I'm for good roads tnd a housecleaning at Lansing.

By a vote of 44 to 40 the commit­ tee of the whole agreed to the proposal providing a specific tax of one-hair of one per cent, on real estate mortgages, and an amendment was added so as to include trust deeds. The proposal provides that the tax shall go to the county, and shall be paid when the instrument is recorded. . By log' rolling the proposal provid­ Ing that the election of members of school boards in the slate shall be at large was defeated 45 jo 39. A plan for a public service commis­ sion to regulate transportation, tele­ graph and telephone lines, as well as concerns furnishing heat, light, water or power to the public, either directly or Indirectly, was favorably reported to the convention by the committee on public service corporations. The pro­ posal empowers the legislature to es­ tablish a commission of three mem­ bers. with slx-year terms and salaries of |7,o00 each. The commission would regulate the services of all public utili­ ties and fix the rates to be charged. A.proposal was passed authorizing counties to establish infirmaries for the treatment of contagious and in­ fectious diseases. The labor delegates occupied the limelight in an effort to secure the adoption of a proposal prohibiting the contracting of convicts after 1913, and providing that after that date they work on state account in a way least to. compete with free labor. -Tbe proposal relative to the fixing of salaries of- state officers was killed In committee of the whole on the ground that another proposal has al­ ready been agreed, to, giving the legis lature authority to do so. Delegates Black and Tossy made Impassioned speeches, but the pro­ posal was killed, the committee of tbe whole and the convention concurring In this recommendation by a vote ot 42 to 41. The committee on elective franchise of the constitutional convention re­ ported favorably a proposal to strike out tbe word "male" from the consti­ tution, and by so doing recommend woman's suffrage to the convention. The action of the committee, only five members of'which were present and voting, was something of a surprise to the* convention. Four members of the committee were absent It has been expected that the suffrage pro­ posal would be left to slumber in the hands of the committee, but a hear­ ing was granted to Mrs. W. H. Pound, wife of a Chicago minister, who for­ merly lived In Lansing. A proposal was agreed to limiting the amount of state funds deposited h» any bank to 50 per cent of the capi­ tal stock and surplus. Paes Initiative Prepees I. The constitutional convention the other night passed on second reading a proposal for constitutional initiative, but the proposal as carried la consid­ erably modified as compared with the one passed upon first reading. The original plan provided for the initia­ tion and adoption of constitutional amendments through petition and pop­ ular vote without any intervention from the legislature. As adopted on second reading the plan provides that the secretary cf state before submit­ ting a petitioned amendment to the voters must refer It to the legislature. Then it can go before the voters Un­ less the legislature In joint session disapproves by a majority vote. The legislature may by a like vote submit an alternative or substitute proposal on the same subject If alternative proposals are submitted one of them must receive a majority of all the votes cast, but if neither receives a majority vote, but the total of both alternatives constitutes a majority, then tbe alternative that has the greater number of votes aha)l be sub­ mitted again at the next subsequent election. Receiving a majority vote then, it shall become a part of the constitution. To go before the voters a proposed amendment must be de­ sired by the petition of 20 per cent of the number of voters voting for sec­ retary of state at the preceding elec­ tion.

The ceremony was performed in the presence of about-350 guestn ln the salon on the Fifth avenue side of the Vanderbilt residence. At one end of the long room an altar was placed un­ der a bower of bending palm trees, the tops of which came together farming an arch under which the bridal party proceeded to the altar. About the trunks of the palms were twined thou­ sands of orchids. Rector Lavelle Does Honors. .

She carried shower bouquet of orchids and gar­ denias. Avoid Gaping Throng. Immediately after the wedding breakfast the count and countess de­ parted upon their honeymoon trip, eluding by clever strategy the throng of people that pressed about the Van­ derbilt mansion eager to catch even a fleeting glimpse of the bridal couple. A brougham, driven by a coachman and footman in the Vanderbilt livery, drove up ostentatiously in front of the Vanderbilt mansions at the Fifty-sev­ enth street entrance. A white rosette decorated the bridle of the horses and a white ribbon was tied to the whip. The crowd broke through the police lines and swarmed about tbe equipage. Meanwhile Alfred Vanderbilt, broth­ er of the bride, drove up quickly to the Fifty-eighth street entrance in a big touring car. The doors of the manaioa opened and the countess and her husband, in their traveling cos­ tumes, stepped into the machine and was aware what had happened. The destination of the bridal couple is said to be Newport, where they will re­ main until early next month, when they will depart for Count Sxechnyi's home ia Hungary. w MILK WAR IN WISCONSIN.

The Cornell station showed that horse manure thrown in an unshel­ tered pile lost in six summer months 42 per cent, of its fertilising elements. The New Jersey station showed that solid and liquid manure mixed lost by exposure in 109 days 51 tier cent of its nitrogen and phosphoric acid each and 61 per cent, of its potash. Buch care is certainly wasteful and manure kept under such conditions connot give very large increased yields. At the same time as the above experi­ ment the Cornell station piled some mixed manure so that fermentation went on slowly, but the pile was not sheltered from rain. Under such con­ dition the loss of constituents was 9.2 j>er cent. Another idle handled so that it dried without fermentation lost practically nothing. Prof. Frear of the Pennsylvania station showed that It was more -economical by 12.50 pet head In a period of six months to al­ low the manure from fattening steerf to accumulate under them for two months at a time than It was to clean the stables daily and deposit In the ordinary way. This saving, does not consider the labor Involved • in haul­ ing the manure. The practice of al lowing the manure to accumulate for a .time, is a practicable one for loose stock If there be plenty of bedding to keep them clean and . absorb the liquids.

At that time 1 suffered very .much from a disordered condition of the kidney secretions They were very scanty,‘contained a heavy sediment and were of a disagreeable odor. My back pained me very much and I could not straighten, it ached as much during the night as in the day time aud I received very little sleep. In the winter when I caught cold, it was always sure to settle in my ^kid­ neys and make the trouble worse.

There is . an underlying current of revolutions, however, and the strictest measures are being taken .to preserve order. At noon Monday an official state­ ment was given out that perfect order existed throughout' Portugal." Franco, the once dictator, was forced to resign because of the bitterness of the people against him and the new cabinet will strive for the welfare of the fatherland under the presidency of Rear Admiral do Amaral. Another official statement given out was to the effect that the president of the cabinet would be supported by all pie groups of monarchists, who had agreed to for­ get previous differences. Franco Forced to Quit ’ The situation for Premier Franco after the assassination of the king and crown prince became impossible. Dur­ ing-the days which preceded the trag­ edy and during the tumultuous mani­ festations on the streets, with the later discovery of vast stores of arms and bombs, public opinion backed him in hls efforts to maintain order, but the murders changed the entire com­ plexion of the situation. He has not been seen on the streets since bls meeting with the king Immediately ofter the latter's arrival from Villa Vicosa, but all possible places where he might be have been closely watched and guarded. . Murders Carefully Planned. The investigations of the police show that the murders were carefully planned. On Saturday the assassins met secretly in the back room of a cafe and there laid out every step-of tbe plot, which they were enabled to do as all the details relating to the home-coming of the king had been made public. To each was assigned a post in the work of shooting down the members of the royal family, but lots wore drawn for the selection of each particular victim. Those who drew Queen Amelia and Prince Manuel failed to carry out their bloody task. Slain in Their Carriage. Lisbon, Feb. 3.—King Carlos of Portugal and the crown prince, Luiz Philippe, were shot to death Saturday, as they sat jn the royal carriage, by a band of revolutionists. His majesty, accompanied by Queen Amelia. Crown Prince Luiz and Prince Manuel, were returning from the Villa Vicosa. where they had been tempor­ arily residing, when a company of men leaped from behind a barrier and. leveling carbines at the royal family, fired. The move was so sudden that none of the king's guards could prevent the assassination. Immediately after the regicides bad fired, howeveh the po­ lice returned with a volley and killed three of them. A boy king, who henceforth will be known as Manuel II.. Is now the ruler of the Kingdom of Portugal, and tbe revolution Into" which the instigators of the bloody events of Saturday had hoped tu plunge the country has not yet at least engulfed the nation. People Stricken with Grief. The only word of indication that universal order In Portugal has pos albly been broken came from Oporto In the term of a rumor that a republic bad been proclaimed there, but this was not confirmed. Lisbon, from a acene of revolutionary outbreaks, seems sincerely prostrated with grief. The streets are silent and the people, wearing emblems of mourning, pass slowly and sorrowfully, discussing the murder of the king and the crown prince. The cowardly shooting of the king in the back calls forth words of exe.cration on the regicides, while the gov­ ernment declares that the murders will only strengthen the cause of the monarchy and ensure the fidelity of the people. The army apparently still is loyal and no organized movement of tbe republicans to launch a repulic Is under way, so far as outward ap­ pearances go. Early Sunday morning Premier Franco proclaimed the accession of Prince Manuel to the throne, the naval and military chiefs and the high dignitaries of state swore • allegiance to the new king, and Portugal still lived under a monarchy. The principal regicide killed has been identified at Manuel Bule*, a sergeant In the Seventh cavalry, and a teacher In an elementary school. For eight years he acted as a private .tutor in this city.

Defends His Policies—Vigorous Denial of Assaults on Property—“Conspir­ acy of Law-Breakers”-Against Ad­ ministration Flayed. Washington, Jan. 31.—President Roosevelt transmitted to congress Fri­ day what Is considered the "warmest" and best message he has written since he entered the White House, it deals In the main with the control of great corporations. . • To begin with, the president advo­ cates the immediate re enactment of the employers' liability law with its scope limited to conform to the de­ cision of the supreme court, and also urgently advises,that a similar act be passed to apply to government em­ ployes. and that favorable considera­ tion be given the bill recommended by Secretary Taft providing for com­ pensation for employes of the govern­ ment Injured in the work of the isthmian canal. • Abuse of the Injunction. The message deal? with the abuse of Injunctions in labor cases, saying: “It Is all wrong to use the injunction to prevent the entirely proper and legitimate actions of labor organiza­ tions in their struggle for industrial betterment, or under the guise of pro­ tecting property rights unwarrantably to Invade the fundamental rights of the individual." i The president then asks that laws be passed better to secure control ever the concerns engaged in interstate commerce and recommends that rail­ ways be permitted to form traffic asso­ ciations. ■ Mr. Ripley and Rebating. After warmly denouncing stock wa­ tering, over-capitalization and "the grosser forms of gambling In securi­ ties and commodotles,” President Roosevelt turns hls attention to re­ bating, submitting the reply of the chief of the bureau of corporations to statements made by the Standard Oil company and by President Ripivy of the Santa Fe railway. There Is also a letter fromui District Attorney Heney of San Francisco inclosing one from the Santa Fe's general freight traffic manager to the road’s auditor, which Mr. Heney and the president say shows tbe utter falsity of the plea of ignorance made by high officials of the Santa Fo and the Standard Oil com­ pany. The president adds: “The attacks by these great corpora­ tions on the administration's actions have been git®a a wide circulation throughout the country, in the newspa­ pers and otherwise, by tiles’- writers and speakers who, consciously or un­ consciously, act as the representatives of predatory wealth—of the wealth accumulated on a giant scale by all forms of iniquity, ranging from the oppression of wageworkers to unfair and unwholesome methods of crushing out competition, and to defrauding, the public by stock Jobbing and the manip­ ulation of securities. Certain wealthy men of this stamp, "whose conduct should be abhorrent to every man of ordinarily decent conscience, and who commit the hideous wrong of teaching our young men that phenomenal busi­ ness success must ordinarily be based on dishonesty, have during the last tew months made It apparent that they have banded together topwork for a reaction. Their endeavor is to over­ throw and discredit all who honestly administer tbe law, to prevent any additional legislation which would check and restrain them, and to secure if possible a f^edeom from all re­ straint which will, permit every un­ scrupulous wrongdoer to do what he wishes unchecked provided he has enough money. The only way to coun­ teract the movement in which these men are engaged Is to make clear to the public .just what they have done In the past and just what they are seeking to accomplish in the present” Campaign of Law Breakers. Denying that the administration is engage* in any assault on property, “h® president continues: "There are ample material rewards for those who serve with fidelity the mammon of unrighteousness; but they are dearly pa’,d for. by the people who penult their..representatives, whether In public .life, in the press, or In the colleges where their-young men are taught to preach and practice that there. Is one law for the rich and an­ other for the jxx>r. The amount cf money the representatives of certain great moneyed Interests are willing to spend can be gauged in their recent publication broadcast throughout the papers of this country, from the At­ lantic to the Pacific, of huge advertise­ ments attacking with envenomed bit­ terness the administration's policy of warring against successful dishonesty, and by their circulation of pamphlets and books prepared with the same ob­ ject; while they likewise push the cir* culatlon of the writings and sjweches of men who, whether because they are, misled, or because, seeing the light, they yet are willing to sin against the light, serve these their masters of great wealth to the cost of the plain people. . Defenders of Oil Trust. “The books and pamphlet?* the con­ trolled newspapers, the speeches by public or private men to which 1 re­ fer, are usually aud especially In the Interest of the Standard Oil Trust and of certain notorious railroad combina­ tions, but they also defend other In­ dividuals and corporations of great wealth that have been guilty of wrong­ doing. It is only rarely that the men responsible for the wrongdoing them­ selves speak or write. Normally they hire others to do their bidding, or find others who will do it without hire. From the railroad-rate law to the purefood law, every measure for honesty in business that has been passed dur­ ing the last six years has been opposed by these men on its passage and in Its administration with every resource that bitter and unscrupulous craft could suggest and the command of al­ most unlimited money secure. But for the last year the attack has been made with most bitterness upon theactual administration of the law, es­ pecially through the department of Justice, but also through the Inter­ state commerce commission and the bureau of corporations.” “Business" That Is Hurt. Tbe president at considerable length defends hls administration against the charge that its .policy was responsible for tbo business depression, and says that the business that Is hurt by the movement for honesty is the kind of business which, in the long run. it pays the country to have hurt. He pays a warm tribute to tbe Judges who have been fearless in punishing great corporations convicted of wrongdoing, and declares that the laws must con­ tinue to be administered with an even hand. In conclusion tbe message says: "I do not for a moment believe that tbe actions of thia administration have brought on business distress; so far as this Is due to local nnd not world­ wide causes, and to the actions of any particular individuals, it la djie to the speculative folly and flagrant dishon­ esty of a few men of great wealth, who seek to shield themselves from tbe ef­ fects of their own wrongdoing by as­ cribing Its results to the actions of those who have sought to put a stop to the wrongdoing. But if It were true that to cut out rottenness from the body politic meant a momentary check to an unhealthy seeming prosperity, I should not for one moment hesitate to put the knife to the corruption. On behalf of all our people, on behalf no less of the honest man of means than of the honest man who earns each day's sweat of hls brow, it la neces­ sary to insist upon honesty In business and politics alike, in all walks of life, la big things and in little things; upon just and fair dealing as between man and man.” Is Sent to Matteawan—rMust Now Con­ vince Lunacy Commission Hie Die­ charge.

There was a succession of raps upon the back door of Widow Rudisill's prim residence early io the morale* of the day preceding Thanksgiving. When Miss Maria herself appeared at the door she was greeted by a sturdy, round-faced Pennsylvania German lad from ‘Dollinger's Cash store. “Good morning, Maria; this here's your tarkey that you ordered ye$terday,” he smilingly said, as he held aloft for her critical inspection a me­ dium sized dressed bird. “It's 'most too big for Mom and me." she replied, hesitatingly; "but then, I guess we can warm It over a couple of times." The Rudisills earned for themselves among the townspeople the reputation 0[ b0|ns whUe other> mB|| clously inclined, considered them miserly. But the truth of the matter was that it. was their extremely small income that led them to live the narrow, secluded .Tfe together in the ways of the past and Its memories, In this way the daughter became promaluroly old-fashioned and unduly “saving” In order to make the small |ncome from their few shares of bank Moot 8o M tar a. ponaible wtlbout landing them actually Into debt; for debts were a nightmare to both of the women.

"Ach, Marla, that wouldn’t make a bit of difference. 1 could help to lake qjre of you both.” This indifference on the part of Maria was a puzzle to others besides himself. “Well, Cheorche, scein' you don’t give up astlug me I'll ast Mum once; mebby she’ll say yes." He would wait longer, with hls Penn­ sylvania German patience, oven If It tuok another year to win her con­ sent He occupied with his parents the brick house just across the alley from the Rudisills. George was Idly glancing out of the “setting room" window at the flying snowflakes when presently the door of the kitchen opposite opened with a Jerk, and Maria briskly bustled across, the porch towards the pump and pro­ ceeded to pump a painful of water. She hud no sooner lifted the pall from the* pump spout and stcxiped over, when her toot slipped on the snowy porch, and the unexpected hap­ pened. For several months previous she had noticed that the portion of the I>orch directly over the rain-water cis­ tern was in a dangerous condition, and she bad Immediatetly communicated this fact to Samuel Fritt, the town car­ penter. to repair the same. Sam, as everyone knows, is habitually inclined toward procrastination. He had received orders from Miss Marta in early spring, but Sam forgot, and those treacherous planks over tbe cistern gave way with the suduen strain of Miss Maria's fall. A wide, yawning chasm appeared, into whose black depths she' was precipitated like a ball shot from a cannon. She was so badly frightened at first that she made no outcry; but when ahe left the Icy cold'water gurgling and Rwiihing about her she came to her senses and gave a lusty acream that was heard clear across the alley. Hatless, breathless with excitement, George rushed wildly across the alley Into the Rudisill yard and disappeared in ths dovrway of the woodshed near­ by. Emerging with a 15-foot ladder, he made hasty preparation for lower­ ing it Into the dark abyss. Peering over the ragged edge, he saw to hls intense relief that the wa­ ter reached only to her shoulders, and that she was in no Immediate danger of drowning, at least not so long as she retained her hold upon the slip-' pery black pump stock and did not lose her balance apd presence of mind. "El. el, el? Maria! Holt on tight till I leave down the ladder." Her only response was a shiver and a look that was pitiful !■ the extreme. He knew that there was danger of her fainting of being crammed by the Icy water, bo he cnutloDeu her to "holt on” with all her might until the ladder descended. Clasping her in hls brawny arms, he climbed tbe slippery ladder’4 with hls dripping burden and bore her ten­ derly to her mother’s kitchen, where he deposited her limp form In a huge wooden rocking chair, and then re­ tired to, "call his Mom over." A sweet little old woman with unowy hair presently appeared and led the unfortunate young woman to her room; then she briskly entered the kitchen to Met the table and "made tfie dinner ready," for Marla's mother was too upset to do anything. Just before serving the dinner. Mrs. Becker was called upstairs,' when, after a whispered consultation with Maria, she went across rhe way, and she and George reappearetl a few mo­ ments later, the mother carrying a small bundle under her arm. "I guess the dinner’s ready, vonce.” announced Mrs. Rudisill. "Amelia, you and Cheorche will stay and eat with ua, ain't? This accident makes us have the dinner so late. 1 guess things will be all cold when we set down at the table vonce.” ■“Well, being as wc. are both alone to-day, Cheorche and me. wo might as well stay." The trio seated themselves about the festive board, and George, while superintending the carving of the tur­ key, suddenly looked up as the door opened, and there in the doorway stood Maria. He was almost startled as- by an apparition, for ’he knew that during all the years, of his courtship he had never seen her appear more beautiful than she did then. What was that new light which shown In her eyes? A feeling of awe. mingled with a deep sense of resig­ nation fell upon him. What did It all mean? "Marla!" he gasped. "Am I awake, or do I dream?" "Ach, no, Cheorche. but I have had now glich & troubled conscience- this while past already, and when I had this fall to-day and you saved me from drowning, it semed like as though It was the hand of Provi­ dence. Besides," she continued, falteringly, "I found out that it ain't right for Mom and me to live alone by ourselves this here way. I—" "Marla!" Interrupted George, ec­ statically, her meaning Juet dawning upon him with such a radiance as never before bad come to hls monot­ onous, slow-moving mental life. "Yes, Cheorche, I've give In at last," she Boftly sale?, as she laid her head upon his shoulders with a longdrawn sigh of relief. He pressed hls lips to her cheeks and led her to her chair at the table. Thanksgiving day had to their two happy lives a far different meaning than ever before at? they partook of their meal with a silent blessing. "When will we gel married?” stoic­ ally asked George after the meal was finished. Her answer was evidently too good to realize. “I'll try," said Maria, n&t without coloring deeply, "to make It suit for some time next month." “All right," briskly -respouded her lover; "try to make It suit for Sun­ day, three weeks after next.

Ths Drying Out Process Must Managed Carefully. TV MUdAaV aTMCr. .W VOM O«W. Be Seed corn as brought In from the field has a high content of mola^ure. If, in the attempt to dry It out qulck.ly artificial heat Is used, with little or no attention given to ventilation, the chances arc that the germ will start to grow. Artificial heat Is dangerous at this stage. The Important things are ventilation, a dry atmosphere and a moderate temperature. Corn sus­ pended from a wire in a well-venti­ lated shed, granary or dwelling.house attic. In such a way that there Is free circulation of air around each ear. Is very favorably situated. Windows should be closed during nights and rainy days, bat open the rest of the time. If the fall be dry and hard freezing weather does not come until seed is wall dried out. It will go through the winter nicely, in such quarters. If the weather be damp and winter sots In early, It should have the benefit of ar­ tificial heat. A chamber or attic through which a stovepipe passes will answer; a furnace room in a dry cel­ lar Is very satisfactory. We have found long bushel boxes about one toot wide, with one-quarter Inch wire netting for sides and top. very desir­ able storage for corn which has first been bandied ns.above until it Is fairly dr)*. Such mouse proof "boxes afford much ventilation and may be stored In a dry furnace room, or in a moder­ ately warm attic with safety, as win­ ter sets In. Experiments have shown that corn which Is thoroughly dry will not be injured by any degree of cold. This, while Interesting, Is not as comfort­ ing as it would appear to be for the reason that some confusion may re­ sult in deciding when corn is thor­ oughly dry. and further, corn once dry does not necessarily, mean always dry. If left subject to a moisture laden atmosphere It will very likely take up enough moisture to render It Hable to injury from severe freezing. —Ohio Station.

During an exploration of the region surrounding the East African lakes a wild silk has been found which is not only of importance to the silk trade, but will also be of Interest to scientists as well. To the latter, chiefly, that It may bring the source of the silk of the ancient races nearer to its final solu­ tion. It is reported that there is every likelihood that the cocoons can be un­ wound in a single thread if proper care be taken in the process, which en­ hances the value of the silk. Experi­ ments to this end have not as yet been concluded. Besides the cocoons, these caterpillars give with each spin­ ning a large quantity of superior ma terlal for spun silk or schappe. The cocoons are incloeed In numbers of from 50 to 800 or more in a thick cov ering or nest, the material of which consists of pure silk fiber, and bein; available in large quantities might In­ fluence the schappe market to a large extent as soon as operations are started on a sufficient scale. A most important and valuable fact In regard to this silk Is that It can be bleached to a very fine white, which is con trary to other well-known wild silks, among which Tussah silk is the best known. Tbe African take regions seem to be a promising land for silk culture, there being an abundance of the trees, the leaves of which the cat erplllar prefers for his food.—Harper’s Weekly.

Breeding turkeys can be profitably kept up to the fifth year. Young poults are delicate. Protect them from storms and wet grasses. The use of quicklime on soils helps to set loose the mineral plant food locked up in the soil. Ground phosphate rock Is a good materia! to add to barnyard manure, as the manure helps to make the phosphorus in the rock available for plants. Lime is very beneficial to many soils. The fact that lime is exceed­ ingly abundant makes It impossible for it ever to be high in price. It is one thing that nature supplies us in superabundance.

The ice harvest in Nashville is about over for this year. All iob houses have been filled, and from present indications there will be no ice famine in Nashville the coming summer. The quality of the ice is tha best ever harvested. The township board held a meeting Saturday afternoon and passed a ■resolution instructing the health officers to use every means possible to ^dieck the spread of small pox and empowering him to (<<rce a proper re­ gard for the laws by those people who are quarantined. The “Mississippians’’ gave a'very good concert at the opera house Thursday night, and will be heartily I welcomed should they come to Nash- ' ville again. The crowd was small* owing to the weather conditions and the school entertainment the next evening, but the Epworth League, under whose auspices they appeared, netted a small sum. When you are unable to do your own work in the best and easiest way because other people impudently butt in, be cheerful; remember that a man willing to work cannot hope to avoid interference from idleness. But be cheerful when circumstances are against you, and cheer the fool wise men who givu good advice, in addition to entertaining the idlers. Charles Robart was found frozen to death near Dublin, Manistee county, one day-last week. He was a son of Jesse Robart, now deceased, and for­ merly lived near here, and u brother of Sam Robart, living on the Mayo farm south of the village. He left here about twenty years ago, since which time little has been known of him by h'is relatives. The annual election of officers of tbe Nashville club was held at the club rooms Friday night. The officers for the ensuing year ar® Leu W. Feighner, president; H. D. Wotring, vice president; A. E. Kidder, sroretary; . C. if. Putnam, treasurer; Chas. R. Quick, Glenn Wotring and E. D. Mallory, house committee. The annual report of the secretary and treasurer showed the finances of the club in good condition, and the nieml>ership list full. An amendment to the by-laws raising the membership limit to seventy-five has been pro­ posed and will come up for con­ sideration at the March meeting. Senator Burnham of New Hamp­ shire Monday introduced In congress a measure of distinct importance to rural interests throughout the United States. It is a bill to provide a rural delivery parcel post for mer­ chandise and other articles actually mailed on rural delivery routes. It provides in brief for the establish­ ment of a domestic rural parcel post at special rate of postage for the de­ livery of foodstuffs, dry goods, drugs, books and other merchandise. The rate of po-tage shall l>e 5 cents for the first pound and 2 cents for each addi­ tional pound or fraction thereof, and on parcels weighing less than one pound as follows: Two ounces or less, 1 cent; over two and under four ounces, 2 cents; over four and not exceening eight ounces, 3 cents; over eight and not exceeding twelve ounces, 4 cents, and over twelve ounces and under one pound, 5 cento. It begins to look now as though the smallpox scare would soon die out. The authorities seem to have the best of it, as few new cases are breaking out and those cases mentioned last week are all getting better. Miss Grace Franck was taken ill with the disease last week and the family was gromptly quarantined. A boy in the anta family north of the village, has come down with the d.sasse, but further than thia Che disease has not manifested itself. Wierd stories have been circulated the past week by that class of people who are always will­ ing to tell all they hear and many times more too. One of them was to the effect that after Isa Newton knew that be was ill with the disease be came down town, thus exposing many people. This is an absolute false­ hood, as Mr. Newton has not been out of his own yard since he was quarantined. Other stories are to the effect that he will be removed from the service for not housing himself up when he became ill. This is also abBUrd’ tor Mr* Newton did not know enough to remain - ssick work, but as soon as it I that he might be suffer—„ --------disease he immediately consulted a physician and has since abidod strictly by the quarantine that has been placed on his home. It was rejx>rted that, a new case had broken —* -* Morgan but this proved to be untrue. All there is for the people to ------------s to obey the laws laid down by the authorities and there is no question but what the disease will soon be driven from the community, thaak.-i to the efficiency of Supervisor Smith and Health Officer Morris. - - �‘The simple supper of bacon, bis- I Cults, potatoes, beans and dried-apple j pie was on the table. Stella pushed up a short bench aqd beckoned to Alfred. • . He rose nnd shook his head. "No, Hl let Mr. Cadwallader eat first,” he ■aid, and took bls gun and disap­ peared. "Cracky, this Is good!” Pblneas ex- ■ claimed Us he looked over the table. "Milk, by the eternal!" ' "Yea. but It’s our last, I guess. They tot the cow. I—” She stopped abrupt­ ly and left the room. Pblneas was at heart a coward, yethe strove to hide It under bravado; and he took bls turn In the darkness with a half merry, half contemptuous badinage that was sufficiently deceiv­ I ing. x Alfred ate sparingly, silently, hla ' I mind Intent on Impending tragedy. 1 "Your hand is hurt, sir,” Stella said as she placed the hot bacon before him. Without more words she cut the meat and buttered hla biscuit. It was done quickly, incidentally. She did Mt falter, her face was calm. Yet When she camo with old linen and home made lotions to dress tbe angry burn her touch upon Alfred's hand was Icy cold. The dressing was barely finished when Pblneas* challenge was beard, and a white man's voice replied. "That’s Curly Joe from Maloney’s," Stella said. "Sit still and finish your ■upper,” she added, as Alfred started to his feet "It's not Indians, you Won't bo needed." Heedless of her words he.followed her to the door, where she stood look­ ing out "Cujly Joe’s brought some stock," aho said, glancing over her shoulder as he came near, "some they had a chance to buy 1 heard him say. It's in the nick of time'for us." She stepped back to the table and poured another cup of coffee. "Have this fresh cup, sir. You're not needed —now." Alfred seated himself and she went to the kitchen, leaving him to ponder the adverb of -time so significantly apoken. Stella did not return, though Al­ fred finished his coffee and waited, the minutes dragging with his Inac­ tion, until the searchers returned. Stella heard them and hastened to the door, peering into the darkness. A whispered parley kept her waiting. At last Uncle Billy stepped into the light. Stella gave him a quick look, read the answer to her mute question and fled. Alfred saw her white, set face ip she passed. Duty and love are weapons that af­ fliction at her worst is compelled to reepect. Alone Stella fought >her quick battle for composure; and when ■he brought in supper for the two men her face was less stricken than Unclq Billy's. He went to her, took her hands in his own, lifted his re­ luctant eyes to her. "Honey, you— you must go—in an houh, less time if possible—" She met his look bravely, her voice unfaltering, though words came lame­ ly. “But father—I cannot leave him. Where—where is he?" "Child, we buried him—Old and me. We did It—good, and I mapped the place, so you can find—but not any Injun. And, honey, you must—must get ready quick." Stella's head drooped. Alfred saw her throat throb, her hands tighten convulsively on Uncle Billy’s. "But the station, and tbe company's property—I mustn't leave that till—" She lifted her face; her lips twitched pitifully. "Gid, you tell her you ain't a boy —yo're a man, and brave enough to ■Uy hyah and keep the station till they send some one from Maloney’s.” "Yes, Stella, you must go. Uncle Bill’s the boss. I'll stay, as he says, till the sUtion's manned again; then I’ll follow you to—to wherever you go i . i | Stella egazed alternately at her two advisers, dumbly striving to adjust her grief-stricken mind to this hard exi­ gency. "Oh, Gideon; I can’t let you stay alone! I—” Uncle Billy laid a tender hand on her arm. "Honey! Uan't you buck up to'the game just a mite? Wouldn't yo’ paw tell you to?” . She nodded and turned aside. Both men looked at her Intently, one with a passionately yearning gaze. In a moment she faced him, smiling reso­ lutely, though Alfred saw unheeded tears oo her cheek. “If you and Gid will eat a little sup­ per I’ll get ready, right away. I’ll be —I’ll be good.". The words trembled off into a sob that was’ touchingly childlike. “You go right to Jake Bennett,” the driver said as be finished his coffee a little later. "He’s on the railroad at the ‘Front,’ whereveh that is. You tell him 1 sent you. -Bennett is one of Superintendent Gregory’s foremen, a squarch man—his wife's even squareh —bo’ll deal you a straight game, little one. There's Sally B., too, she's white, and can motheh a whole brood like you and not let one chick get a cold toe.” "And 1'11 follow as toon as I can sllpthls," Gideon added, his glance sweep­ ing the shadow-peopled room. "I’m coming mysblf, honey. I'm coming to be near you, and to watch that Sacramento four tackle the big­ gest job of building since Babel.” Uncle Billy rose and went out. Soon all was ready. Stella waited by hor trunk for the coach to swing round. "Oh, Gideon, how can I leave you?” she sobbed as he came to her side. “Bat I wouldn't go unless you stayed.” “All aboard, honey!” called the driver's kind voice from the dark. "Salt Lake City In ten hours!" Gideon caught her in an embrace she long remembered. It was not fare­ well, but appropriation. "Good-bye, Moppett." he whispered, "TH come soon." CHAPTER III. Alfred Promisee Allegiance. Alfred studied Gov. Stanford's face keenly while the latter re-read Mr. Huntington’s letter. It said in part: "For three years I have closely observed this young man and found him, I believe, peculiarly adapted to business of a delicate na­ ture, for which we shall have growing need. He Is older than be looks and wiser than bls age. His character does not altogether show la his face, and few would suspect such a slender Stella Felt His Solicitous Though Un­ spoken Interest. youth of his capacity for the affairs you may require of him.” Alfred was gratified at what he saw tn the governor’s eyes as he looked up from the letter. $1,000.00 For Any Substance Injurious to Health Found in Calumet Baking Powder “Best By Test” Th.

Do you think you will be equal to It?" • "AH that I can do, sir,* Is to promise my best effort and ask you to try me.” “Can you take 'hectoring good naturedly?” asked Mr. Crocker. "You can't go far on such a shape as you have-out west here; there’s too' much Harvard college and ballroom in it.” The. governor spoke at once. "I be­ lieve Vincent will safely weather re­ marks concerning his shape; he’H be in cities most of tbe time, anyway." "It’s not fiice work we're putting you to, Vincent," he continued.* "You'll have to meet craft with craft, scheme with scheme. And some of Cadwaliader's schemes —- they’re the schemes of the men behind him. yet they -don't sweeten In bld hands—are far from savory. But we'll not ask “You’d Hardly Trust Me If I Accepted Other Terms.” per .that arrested even George Greg­ ory's lurid thoughts at the sight of this “dandified ballroom cublet.” The atmosphere was decidedly clear­ er when the superintendent looked up from the letter. “When will you be ready to. go over the grading, Mr. Vin­ cent? 1’11 have your horse sent any time you say after dinner." '!After dinner, str? The train leaves at two o'clock, doesn’t ItT’ “Yes; but you’ll not go back to-day, will you?” v “Can’t I get to the Front and back by two?" ' "No, not to the Front; yet you can see nearly all of the completed .grade If you start at once. Yo'H miss yotir dinner, though.” "I don't wish to incommode .you, sir. Could not some other person conduct me? ' Dinner 1b unimportant. I must return today if .possible.” A shade of approbation crept Into the superintendent’s keen glance. “Very well,. Mr. Vincent. I’ll have your horse in ten minutes. You ride?. Our stock is cantankerous at times." "1 ride a* little; if not well enough. I’ll have to walk." "Plucky!" thought the older man, as he dispatched a messenger-for Alfred’s horse and employed the wait In send­ ing telegrams to the Sacramento office. Meantime Alfred wrote a short note to Stella explaining his haste and tell­ ing her that-he would be at the hotel for a moment before be left in the afternoon. If possible. Ho had slipped the note with a coin into the stable boy's hand and wks in the saddle when the superintendent came out of the hot little box that did duty as a telegraph office, .and the two were quickly out on the grade. "So tljis Is the railroad Mr. McLane claims is standing on end and leading up to heaven Instead of across the Sierras over Judah's route?” Alfred stopped his horse and looked bock through the deep cut, across the deep­ er ravine where the bridge-builders were at work. “That spider web looks jvlckedly frail," he added. "It's strong enough to hold our fly till we meet our time limit. Plenty of time for stiffening up and filling in afterward.” The 'horses' hoofbeats were now ringing clear on bare granite. "Where do you get earth for your fills? The trees here don't seem to have root­ hold against a summer zephyr.” "That’s one of my small troubles. Sometimes we have to go half a mile afield for soil. And carts—they can't make ’em fast enough. I've got 2,500 men and 300 carts; but we’l> have to double khat at once if we make our 50 miles on time. And where under the canopy the men are to ccme from I can't see: Talk of bricks without straw; Pharaoh’s Job was easy com­ pared to mine." They had pushed on as far as the finished grading and were returning. From the story of the pierced moun­ tains and from George Gregory Alfred had proved Gov. Stanford's prediction about the “record of the road." It had told him more than words or pages of written details. Gregory looked at his watch and up and down tbe line of the grading sharply. The noon hour had almost passed. "I guess you can find your way back alone. I'm needed here.” “Aren't you going back—going somewhere for dinner, Mr. Gregory?" "No. I guess my stomach's as fast­ proof as yours.” Already his alert eye was elsewhere, and Alfred knew himself dismissed. The superintendent snapped to his watch cover, regardless of the spring. you to do anything for us that's less than honest." . "That's only'safe, sir. You'd hardly trust me If I accepted other terms.” ' “Here's our cipher. Use It as sparingly as possible. No man can make a cipher some other man can't read." "Unless he changes It often enough," Alfred added Instantly. The governor smiled and turned So the superintendent. "I guess he'll do, Crocker." His face relaxed, and Al­ fred caught a glimpse of the genial, hearty citizen who won men to his enterprises through his faith—faith in both enterprises.and men. "Your first business will be to learn more of the railroad. I’ll ask our sec­ retary, Mr. Miller, to let you have im­ mediate access to the records. You'd better take a run over the road. That 1 will speak louder in a day than any other record could in a year. As soon as possible you’ll go to San Francisco, get In touch with the McI-ane crowd. McCoppin and our other enemies there and learn what you can of their plans against us." He glanced at tbe superintendent. "How can we wedge him in there the quickest, Crocker? It won't do for me to in­ troduce him." . "I can fix that. The situation's right In my hand, and no smack of railroad-in It. either. I’ll send him to Harmon. No one knows that he’s to work for us as soon as his term on the bench expires. Mrs. Harmon's the queen bee in society down there. She'll land the young man where we want him, first fling." “Good enough. But we can't allow you much time in San Francisco, Vin­ cent. You must work fast, mow as wide a swath as you need—don't mind the dollars, be the Boston aristocrat —and get through In time to cut in at Carson City. There's 'legislation pending in the 'third house' of that baby legislature over there that we need to know about." Some further instructions ensued and the conference ended. And Alfred was soon engrossed in minutes of di­ rectors' meetings, supreme court de­ cisions, newspaper reports and com­ ments. state and national legislation— everything that would aid In making him master of the history of the road. He worked fast and thoroughly, in­ spired anew with enthusiasm for the great business to which he hud prom­ ised allegiance. Back of his ardor lay another spur, desire to see Stella. She was there, where he shortly would be, at the "front." She had written him of her safe arrival, of Jake Bennett's kind protection, of Mrs. Bennett's loving Alfred Stopped His Horse and Looked care and the invitation to remain with Back Through the Deep Cut. them. “Blast that Simms!

NOW THE PORCELAIN HOUSE. New Invention May Make it a Build­ ing Material—Advantages. The use of porcelain has long been known in China, but in now likely to make its appearance in western coun­ tries. and we are assured that the por­ celain house Is one of the possibilities •J the near future. It is made prac­ ticable by the invention of a method of making large sheets of porcelain about aa Inch thick, which has the strength without tbe bulk of an ordinary brick" built wall. Ariiong its advantages is rapidity in building. With sheets of porcelain a good sised house can be constructed in. a few days. It Is damp proof, too; and ia, of course, kept clean at the cost of very little labor. Col­ ored glazes take the place of wall­ paper, and pictures can bo "painted in­ stead of being hung on tbe walls. Again, it is easily portable. A porce­ lain bouse can be taken down when foe wwxrtr desires to move and roArected on another site. When it comes, these advantages, combined with its cheapness, are bound to make it popular.—Montreal Standard. Smokestacks in Italy. .

Morse, the organizer of the American Ice com­ pany and the Consolidated Steamship company, until recently was identified, returned live indictments Monday. Three of these indictments had to do with liquor tax cases, while two in­ dictments charged grand larceny. The Indictments w’ere not made pub­ lic, but in asking that a good-sized bail bond be required. District Attor­ ney Jerome staled to the court ,that the two charges of grand larceny were laid against 'a man now on hir way over here" from, Europe. Following the court proceedings it was stated authoritatively that the man referred to by Mr. Jerome was Charles W. Morse, who sailed for Liverpool a week ago Saturday on t,he Campania but is now returning upon the advice of bis counsel. Morse Due>-Next Saturday. Mr. Morse is a passenger on the Cunarder Etruria due here late next Saturday. • The grand jury, it is learned, has ordered other indict­ ments, in connection with Its Investi­ gation into banking affairs. When the jury appeared before Justice Dowling in the supreme court District Attorney Jerome said: "Your honor, two of those papers In that batch are indictments on which I would like to have bail fixed. 1 would suggest >20,000 on one of them -and nothing on the other.” His Bail Will Be 820,000. Justice Dpwllng looked through the Indictments and replied : "1 suggest that ball be fixed at >10,000 on each of them.” This was agreeable to Mr. Jerome. Among the matters which the grand jury looked into was a transaction in which two notes for >200,000 figured. The federal grand jury, which also has been investigating the banking situation, concluded Its day's session Monday without banding down any in­ dictments. JEWISH WEDDING STOPPED.

S’- When M(as Deane returned to her old home, after playing her part for eight years with some distinction in the great w.orld, she found herself in a somewhat ambiguous situation.. En­ dowed with a fine figure and a charm­ ing face, keenly alive intellectually, and barely in her thirties, she was uncomfurttably surprised to learn that her age, socially speaking, laid her on the shelf. In the eyes of a society composed of recently emancipated schoolgirls and boys, she posed per­ force as a disappointed old maid. This was amusing, in view bf the actual facts; but It was also tiresome. Her girlhood's friend, George Car­ roll, was her elder by several years, although he was still safely, on the right side of 40—at which age. In crude social circles, a man verges on decrepitude. However, he maintain­ ed his high , standing as a bachelor of repute, owing to the fact that he had been recently appointed one of' the youngest judges on the bench, and to tbe rumor that bls abilities and his ambition would shortly translate him to a wider sphere; otherwise, .in a community in which marriage h» the chief duty of man as well, as .of wom­ an, he might have lost caste. That he had in the past been engaged to Alicia .Deane was an occurrence which. In accordance with conventional tra­ ditions, had never transpired; there­ fore that she, 'in the natural restless­ ness' of gifted youth, bad discarded him. remalaed equally, of course, un­ known.

Therefore when one evening, In tiie midst of an animated discussion in which Miss Deane wax bearing well her part,, be drew out his watch and consulted it, his hostess was impatient­ ly conscious of a wound. Such action on-the part of a visitor is Inevitably more or less ungracious, and coming from so well-bred a man as Judge Car­ roll, it was, to say the least, chilling. •'Pardon me, Miss Dean,” he pb» served . with elaborate courtesy, "but tbe charms of yotir society have made me foreget an engagement at your neighbor’s. * U.ncle Ike is to come around with his violin aud we are to dance, I understand.” He arose, hat in hand. -Alicia forgot her mourning, which might account for the fact that she was never invited to these juvenile festivities; she only remembered that here she was considered passee—she whose partners were in the habit of overrunning the limits of her pro­ gramme! "Do not keep the young folks wait­ ing on my account, judge!" she re­ joined easily, rising, too. George Carroll glanced at her keen­ ly.' with a vague disquiet. Opce, so far as man may know woman, he had known this charming, elusive, rather contrary person. As she stood now. leaning lightly against a pillar In the bright moonlight, that baffling smile on her lips, her eyes evading his even as she, herself had evaded him tn the past, the attractiveness of her person­ ality, subdued to some extent and as a rule by her present false social posi­ tion, was unusually in evidence. He made a sudden movement to­ ward her. In former days these at­ tacks of Impetuosity had been for this woman one of his chief charms. "Alicia!” he exclaimed, "tell me something. Was It alf—the big world. I mean—as good as you expected?" Her eyes, no longer evasive, but bright and mocking, met his full. "Do you think if it had failed me I would tell you?” So spoke those eyes. The glow In his face faded. Then, in a low voice George Carroll spoke: "I am not of the coming-back kind. I think you know that—you must know It! Long since you told me you bad no further use for me. Yet here I am—once more at your feet! Alicia, I give up!" Then, as 'she made no reply, he ad­ ded: "I await your verdict!" • With hands spread In a gesture of deprecation he stood in silence. At last she faced him. lips trem­ bling. cheeks scarlet, and dignity in tatters. "There seems, indeed, to be no help for it!” she began desperately, then stopped. In a moment she was in his arms, and tbe struggling words were sealed upon her lips. WRITING A8 A BUSINESS. Not a Particularly Good Profession for Money-Making. W. C. KITCHEN. M. D.

There are reasons enough. It Is one way to get an hon­ est living, and a man may lawfully choose it. and many live by it, better or worse, and be happy in the prac­ tice of IL Writing is both a profes­ sion and an art. On its money-getting side it seems to me not a particularly good profession. A successful lawyer or a successful doctor commonly earns more money than a successful writer, and there are vastly more lawyers and doctors who succeed in a measure worth talking about than writers.. But a man seldom takes to the profession of writing with money-making as his primary object, any more than he takes to the ministry or io teaching for that purpose. Ho takes to writing because he likes it and has a turn for it, or because he cannot wait to fit himself for some other profession, or is debarred for some reason from oth­ er professions, or because opportunity offers. Once he commences writing and undertakes to live by his work, he will probably want to get out of It all the money he can without sac­ rifice of things that are worth more to him than mere money. Mere money, for example, will not tempt a wise man, let alone a good one, to take service with a newspaper which he does not approve, nor to write trash, because the market for trash happens to be better than the market for literature. There is no great harm in writing trash, sobelt it is not vicious, if a man can do no better. But for a man of real talent and liter­ ary power to turn away from art. and the truth that art must express, to trash and drivel is prostitution. St is a writers duty to write his best, and he cannot turn his back on that duty for long without paying the penalty in reputation and in power.—Harper's Magazine. New Zealand*! Windy CHy.

Tide is a question which has re-, ceived a great deal of attention and about which there has been much discusslon. Whether ___ or not wide tires are the moat salltifBctury depends upon, m number of things, For ex­ ample, on hard roads, wide tires- do hot pull any heavier thgn‘ narrow __ tires, but on some country roads, and especially where the dirt "rolls up," It is difficult to use a wide-tired wagon. Many states have .legislated on this subject, but the question is still unsettled. I<et us look for a mo-' ment at some of the problems. One of the most convincing .tests, which has been referred to often, wes that made at the Missouri agricul­ tural college several years ago. A load weighing 3,665 pounds was used in the test. The tires of the wheels were 1^ inches, and three Iches, re­ spectively. Tbe draft of the narrow tires was 439 pounds, or 41.6 per cent, more than the wide tires. Estimat­ ing the wagons io weigh 1,000 pounds, thus on broad tires a 3,248-pound load would be drawn as easily atf 2,000 pounds on narrow tires. The broad wheels do net Injure the turf, while the narrow wheels go through. Under some circumstances, the nar­ row tires evidently draw easier. This Is true on a dirt road'which is muddy. Then, too. Ms a rule, broad tires, have been used on low wheels. Generally speaking, low wheels pull heavier than high wbeelz. particularly where the road is rough. In a recent inquiry sent out to users of low-wheeled, widetired wagons, the consensus of opin­ ion w^s fjiat wide tires were much more satisfactory: first, because It was easier to put on the roads; sec­ ond. because the roads wore injured less by these wide tires. Where nar­ row tires tended to cut up the surface of farm roads, wide tires tended to pack the surface and make It hard. A few years ago some very com­ plete tests were made at South Bend. Ind. The conclusions , were as fol­ lows: On hard roads, block pave;S menu and other permanent and sub­ stantial roads, there was no argu­ ment, so far as actual draft is con­ cerned, the effect being rather against the wide tire and In favor of the nar­ row tire. In the effect on hard roads, wide tires have the advantage, and this benefit should be appreciated by turnpike and macadam companies. In soft mud. slush and other similar circumstances the advantage is against the wide tire and In favor of the narrow. On the other hand, on sod and soft ground, where the wide tire does not cut in and the narrow one does, the advantage Is on the side of the wide tire. A test was made at the Ohio state university and the results were simi­ lar to those in Missouri. Two horses could easily draw a heavy load on a grass sod where tbe tires used were used. It will thus be seen, says Orange Judd Farmer, that the matter of wide itires is very important from the standpoint of the man who Is Inter­ ested in better highways. There are, however, two sides to the question, and every state must fully discuss and Investigate before attempting rules and regulations. FOR SAVING SEED CORN.

Some old men, some young men, some strong men, some weak men, but they were all'held up nevertheless. Every man was told to throw up his hands and be iriighty quick about if. Some protested and tried to argue but it was no use: ‘ “up with your bauds ur there will be something doing,” whs the command and all hands want up, and when they were ail up it was noticed that each pair of hands held a shovel, and in a few minutes these shovels began to work.

Along the route tunnelled there lives six miles of old ladies and wheff the ilred, hungry, frost-bitten “uhortunates” saw the hot coffee, the best mince pies and the other good things that awaited their return the aces wore more cheery smiles. These -ix miles oi old ladies had been workng the telephone from both eqds and from the middle for ail it was worth, and no doubt there were many ‘‘batteries” burned out.

U , spoke on the subject of tem­ perance at the Baptist church. A large crowd greeted her and she gave a fine address. Nothing has been heard from the other side yet, but in all probability things will warm up pretty soon. With this question for the voters to decide, besides the reg­ ular tickets, the coming election prom­ ises to become as warm as any ever held in the country. Mrs. Nelson Abbott delightfully en­ tertained a party of lady friends at a. thimble party at ber home from 2:30 10 4:30 Wednesday afternoon. 'The ft notion was in honor of her m<-ther, Mis. M. E. Downing of Nashville, ana alM>ut thirty guests were present. Mrs. Abbott was assisted by Mrs. Sim. Ardis and Mrs. J. W. Reeder. Progressive chat was one nf the amuse­ ments of the afternoon. Refreshments consising of punch, tea and wafers were served. Excellent music was furnished* during the afternoon by an orchestra' composed of Max Sable cornet, Stepben Howey violin and Miss Alberta Reeder piano. Those in attendance pronounced the reception one of »ho most elaborate and enjoy­ able ever given in the village.—Mis­ saukee Co. Republican. How ‘'Dad” does hate to give up and admit that “Tbe Boy ” has grown up and become a “better man’’than be. And sometimes they have to be shown a practical demonstration be­ fore they will admit it. Chas. Phillips, living north of town, has a husky son, Seely by name, and tbe pair have had a lot of fun ‘ ‘chewing the rag” in a good-natured way as to who was the boss, and last week they went together to find out about it. It started in the dining room, and before it was oyer with a leaf was broken off tbe table, a lot of dishes smashed, •and tbe room nearly wrecked. Mrs. Phillips enjoyed the fun as much a* anybody, but insisted after it was all over that they must pay fifty cent* each for broken dishes. Seely paid his fifty cents, but we understand that Charlie insist* that Soeiy’did most of the damage and ought to pay all of it. Don’t know whether it will be settled without another “rassle’’ or not, but we hope it may be. Tuesday evening the house of Chas. H. Raymond, on Queen street, es­ caped being cremated by the narrow­ est kind of a margin. Mr. and Mrs. Raymond were attending the K. of P. banquet at the opera house and at about nine o’clock. Miss Joe Down­ ing, who lives with them, went up stairs to bed, leaving a small kerosene lamp lighted sitting on a table in th* sitting room. At abouteleven o’clock she was awakened by a noise, and thinking at first that it was Mr. and Mrs. Raymond who had returned from the banquet she did not pay much at­ tention to it. Hearing nothing fur­ ther' she grew a little suspicious and decided to investigate. She went down stptrs and was just in the nick of time, tor the lamp had exploded* the oil running over the table top down on the shelf below, which wa* filled with a big stack of souvenir postal cards, ana then down on the carpet, the whole concern burning nicely. Hurriedly getting a pail or water she soon put the fire out. The Pythian anniversary banquet, Tuesday evening, was one of tbe most successful affairs of the kind ever held in Nashville. The banquet was spread at the opera house, tbe Pythian hall not being commodious enough to eeat all of the company at one time. The lodge parlors and hall were opened to receive tbe crowd, who turned out In large numbers in spit* of the inclement weather, some of the country members braving the blizzard rather than miss the affair, and they all said they were .well repaid. At nine o’clock the company repaired to the opera house, which had beea beautifully decorated for tbe occasion with the lodge colors, red, yellow and blue, Rev. C. W. Fletcher having charge of the decorating. Three tables were arranged the full length of the ball, plates being laid for 175, and a beautiful sight It was to the banqueters as they filed into the hall. The banquet* was served by Mr. and Mrs. Barker, and everything waa ------------Stoutest detail. The menu lent and the service all - ------- a---------- desired. During th* oanquet Minoa Nina Titmarsh and Haxal DeRiar furnished inspiring music, which was highly appreciated. Then followed a program of toaata lasting until Wednesday morning, at all were so good that the crowd willingly stayed to listen. One of the features of tbe affair was the singing their first appearance and acquitted themselves splendidly.

There Is probably no one farm ani­ mal which does more to increase the fertility of the farm, and espeaiallly the gracing land, than does the sheep. It has long been a recognised fact that sheep droppings are exceptionally rich In the elements which go to make up soli fertility and this" fact U often taken advantage of In building up worn-out lands. Of course where a piece of land is bo thoroughly ex­ hausted that ft will not produce grass. there is very little chance of building It up with sheep grazing, but where even a small amount of pasture Can be obtained the fertility of the land can be built up wonderfully by allowing sheep to graze upon it tor a few sea­ sons. There are instances of wornout farms which have doubled and trebled tn value by allowing the sheep to graze upon them for a period of years. While abandoned and wornout farms are very scarce In this sec­ tion of tbe country. It Is a much bet­ tor policy to keep from getting them exhausted than to figure how to build them up after they are once run down. The question resolves Itself largely Into one of returning the fertility to the soil through the mean? of live stock and, says The Farmer, wherever sheep can be raised they can be used aa a potent factor In such work. The aheap are always healthier If their pasture ground Is changed frequently and al the same time their health is ’ being promoted they are also adding fertility to the farm.

N»W IS BEST TIME TO TAKE A well-known authority on rheuma­ tism gives the readers of a large New York daily paper the following valu­ able, yet simple and harmless pro­ scription, which any one can easily prepare at home: Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half ounce; Compound Kargon, one ounce: Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three ounces. Mix by shaking well in a bottle and lake a teaspopuful after each meal and at bedtime. . He states that the ingredients can be obtained from any good’ prescripUop p^arpaoy.*t'Mnailii«»it, and, beitag’>of vegetable extraction, are hanntau to tike. • This pleasant mixture, if taken reg­ ularly for a few days, is said to over­ come almost any case of rheumatism. The pain and swelling, if any, diminishes with each dose, until perma­ nent results are obtained, and with­ out injuring the stomach. While there are many so-called rheumatism remedies, patent medicines, etc., some of which do give relief, few really give permanent results, and the above will, do doubt, be greatly appreciated by many sufferers here at this time. Inquiry at the drug stores of this neighborhood elicite the information that these drugs are harmless and can be bought separately, or the drug­ gists hero will mix the prescription lor our readers if asked to. The readers of this paper will be pleased to learn that there is.at least one dreaded disease that science hasbeen able to cure in all its stages, and that is Catarrh. Hall’s Catarrh Cure is tlie only positive cure now known to the medical fraternity. Catarrh being a constitutional disease requires a constitutional treatment. Hall’s Catarrh Cure Is taken-internally, act­ ing directly upon the blood and mu­ cous surfaces of the system, thereby destroying the foundation of the dis­ ease, anu giving tbe patient,strength by building up the constitution and assisting nature in doing its Work. The proprietors have so much faith In its curative powers that they offer One Hundred Dollars for any case that it fails to cure. Send for list of testimonials: Address F. J.

I'll put It in this way: S'pose'n you were to marry a widder, under tbe idea that abe was an angel—that she was so sweet that.a barrel of sugar was mere bitterness alongside of her; and s'pose’n after you were consoli­ dated with her you were to find out that she had a temper like a she wild­ cat, and an unconquerable custom of banging you over the head with skil­ lets or most anything that came handy, so that you didn't know what minute • she'd git her mad ji'p and skeer you pretty near to death. “Now, s'pose'n this wilder and you was to disagree about a little matter of chewing terbacker in the house and trying to spit In the stove, and she was to up and tell you—in your own house, mind you—that if you kep’ aim­ ing at that stove and missing it she'd warm you-up with a broom-handle or the like; and you were to say that you’d chew where you'd a mind to, and that while it was a free country, you’d hit LJjo stove or miss It jus* as you pleased. “And s'pose’n one word brought on another, until- she got .on a terrific rampage, and. come at you and tried to snatch out your hair: while ycu grabbed her by the wrists and b«ld her so she couldn’t And then s’pose’n while you were rassllng with her you was to get the best of it so's she couldn't do anything but have the hysterics and scream, and you all the time afraid to let go lest she'd hustle you out through the winder. “Now, s'pose'n that widder bad a dog which belonged to her first hus­ band, and would rather bite you than not. and all of a sudden she was to holler for that dog, and he was to come bouncing Into the room, and, see­ ing the wlddor’s situation, was to take hold ot a mouthful of your right leg, and shake It as though he was going to bite it loose before he left; and the widder all the time elcklng him on and encouraging him to help himself with­ out any regard for your feelings. And s'pose'n when you let go ot her to tackle the. dog she should bang you with the scrubbing brush until you looked's if you'd been ground up In a bark-mill, and then wouldn't call off the dog until you hollered enough. “S'pose'n all this, what I want to know is. can't you sue that widder for assault and battery, and gel an in­ junction on that dog? That's what I, caine to see you about., whether you’ve got to stand having your leg chewed and your head smashed with a scrub­ bing-brush. or whether this great and free government’s going to protect its defenseless citizens, 1 want to know how It is." Mr. 'Simms looked very solemn for a moment, as if contemplating the problem carefully, and then he said: , "I don't really see that the law can do anything in such a case, Mr. Buddy. If the man married the widow he be­ came part owner of the dog, and it was, therefore, in fact his own dog that assaulted him. Besides that, r\s a man and his wife are one flesh, the widow has a partnership interest In the man's leg, and when she set the dog upon it she was really encourag­ ing the animal to mutilate her own property. No action can be against a person who induces her own dog to bite her own leg, nur will the law give her redress if she batters her own head with her own hands, far the wife who strikes her husband really strikes her­ self.” “You don't mean to say," exclaimed Mr. Buddy, in a blaze of indignation, that is the law of this land, of this very country where our forefathers bled for liberty! You don't actually mean to tell me that a red-headed widder, with a Hver-colored dog, can achially make that dog gnaw a man's leg into sausage-meat while she trounces him with a club, and that he can’t chuck her into Jail for it: that he's got to stand up and take itf , "I'm afraid he has,” said Simms, with a sad smile. “Well, then.,'* said Buddy, rising and seizing'his crutches, “that just lets me out as far as this idiotic land is concerned. I'm going to Quit If wiffdera are to be allowed to carry on as if men had no rights. 1*11 emigrate and hunt up some country where enlighten­ ed civilization don’t allow widders to live. Let's see, it’s India, isn’t it. where they kill the widder when her first husband dies? Well, that’s where I'm going. I'm going by the first boat. If I stay here I’ll be dead In a month, and so chewed up that they'll have to bring me in pieces. Good morning.” And Mr. Buddy hobbled away dis­ consolate. . Uncultivated Area of Spain.

Up to date there has been little talk about who will be nominated and as far as we know there has been very little talk of candidates for the different offices. Quite- likely many parents are not aware that a law of the state makes it a misdemeanor to allow a boy of 15 years or un|er to carry fire arms, whether for target practice or hunting unless accompanied by his parents or guardian. This law is the out-come of many frightful accidents caused ■oteig by the pernicious custom of allowing yoiing boys to carry and use firearms. Tbe penalty imposed upon a parent for allowing a boy to carry fire-arms is quite severe, a fine of not more than 3100 being imposed or a corresponding term in jail, in ex­ treme bmm tiie judge may sentence a parent to a term in jaii and a fine of Yesterday, in circuit court Moro Judge Adams was begun toe suit of Cyril Powers vs. Benjamin Lake, for damages as the result of alleged slan­ derous remarks on the part of the lat­ ter concerning the plaintiff.

The literarv program Friday night was well rendered and well received. The literary features of the program were second to none rendered this season, and it reflects honor upon Miss Bell and Mr. Messimer that they obtained the favorable decision of the judges for local option, over such for­ midable debates as those of Miss Hough and Mr. Feighner. Miss Hough's debate was an especially good one. There is a growing interest in these debates on public questions. Thev are very instructive and worthy of the bearing of every Nashville voter.

She simply found out very early In life that it suited her to be languid trod helpless and frail and she has played up to that role ever since. She is far from being artless, with all her girlish simplicity—girlish at 37!” "She does seem younger than that," agreed the caller. “Well, are you surprised? She has never taken a particle of responsibili­ ty or worry or any of the cares that age women who are not everlastingly thinking aboat themselves. I don’t say she is selfish. She really does not seem to be; though, of course, that Is what It amounts to,” finished Mrs. Bovee, completing the circle. "But can you, imagine her any dif­ ferent?” asked the calier. T have never seen her anything but graceful and leisurely and charming. I don’t believe she would be so lovable any other way." "Nobody says she would!" retorted her hostess. “That is just what I started out by remarking. And that Is why I say .1 think T ought to have been different from the very start with Henry.” "If Mrs. Sedgwick can keep her hus­ band a perfect slave to her every whim by the simple expedient of never doing a useful thing; never serving a hot dinner when a cold lunch is more convenient for her; never sparing him any of the worries of marketing and keeping the house­ hold accounts; never knowing for Lie life of her what he needs In the way of wardrobe or what he can afford for her pleasures; if Mrs. Sedgwick can do all these things, I repeat, and still get along beautifully, I cannot see why we don't all try it! "I for one get very tired of keeping every single thing about the house u,to the last notch all the time, yet Henry is used to It and he makes me fool like • criminal when I slight any­ thing. 1 would no more think of tot­ ting the house go for a club meeting, or of picking up my trunks and going on a pleasure trip whenever the spirit moved me than I would think of—of slapping Henry’s face!

She has what you might call a universal method." Both women were silent for a mo­ ment. The caller seemed unable to think of a counter-argument for.her hostess’ heretlsal views. Finally, how­ ever, she found one and when she spoke it was with unexpected decision. “Well,” she announced, “the way I look at it is this: A family has just so much to do and If the wife shirks her duty the husband simply-has a double load to carry.

A great many people seem to think .that the marriage ceremony absolves them from, all ^further courtesies and attentions to the person whom they have wed. After that they are always <□ negligee, both as to manners and slothes, when they are at home. This Is a fatal mistake. Because a woman Is married Is no excuse forher going untidily about the bouse, and telling her husband home truths that hurt his vanity. Because a woman Is his wife gives a man no right to say things to her he would not dare to say to any other lady who possessed a big. able­ bodied brother. Good manners are the preservation of peace aad concord, and are warranted to keep happiness In any climate. The problem of how to be happy though married is really no problem at all. No mjwtery should ever have been made of it. It Is mere­ ly fair dealing in fair partnership— giving the other party the-privileges and perquisites you assume for your­ self. and allowing, the person you love as much consideration and civility as you would show a stranger.—New Tork Weekly. Mixed the Infants Up. At South port, England, some years ago, births took place tn two families living In the same house. In one case twins arrived, and a single in the oth er. The three children were being washed and dressed, and the father of the twins coming in, the three were placed in one bed with the idea of leading him to believe that his wife had given birth to triplets. The joke, for that waa all which waa Intended, succeeded to the full—for the time at least—and then came the question of separating the Infants and restoring them to their respective mothers. Here a difficulty presented itself, and the women tn attendance were shocked to find themselves unable to say which was which. A Liverpool paper says the identification has not yet been satisfactorily established, and it is a case in which even a Solo­ mon might be puttied. Keep Bills. It Is well to keep every bill, paid or not, for an indefinite period. Oqo never kaows when mistakes may occur or when dishonesty may be attempted.

Of course, this is only a cheaper home-made substi­ tute for a regular letter file, which Is the very best thing for the purpose. “All In” Judicially Defined. In the case of state va. Hennessey, 90 Pac. Rep. 381. the Nevada supreme court gives a definition of the slang phrase “all in." The question came up In connection with the admission in evidence of a dying declaration, the declarant’s statement that he was "all in” being relied on to show that he was under a sense of impending death. The court said: "Tbe expression, 'I am all in' is one frequently made use of in this western country, and when used under the circumstances in ques­ tion may, we think, be taken to have meant that the speaker considered hla life was practically at an end.” How the Professor Was Affected. “There’s not a particle of ventila­ tion in this room." said the profeaspr, suddenly stopping in bis talk and look­ ing about him. “Con you boys tell me what it does to a man to be fn a room when there la no ventilation?"

HORACE LARKINS DEAD. Passed Away at His Home on the South Side Last Saturday After an Illness of ‘ Several Months. Horace Larkins, for many .'■•ears a resident of this village, died’at his home or the South side, last Saturday forenoon after an illness of several months. His death was sudden, the family not knowing.that he had passed away for some time afterward. Mrs. Larkins was called to dinner tfnd tak­ ing a look at her husband, whom she thought-was asleep, ate her dinner and went back into tne room where Mr. Larkins was: she thought he was very Juiet and she called her grandaughter, Margery Brady, who dis­ covered at once that he was dead. Mr. Larkins was born in New York state August 6, 1829, and was thus over 78 years of age. He went from. New York state when he was quite young and settled in Indiana, from which state he joined the army of the republic on January 4, 1864, and was commissary sargeant of Co. 1, 12th Indiana cavalry, in which company he served until the close of the war. He was married on May 25, ’1851, to Miss Sarah Martin, who with two children, Lester Larkins and Mrs. ' Lannis Brady both of this village survive, besides two sisters, Mary Myers and Martha Wirt, both of Ind­ iana and one brother, John Larkins of Cedar Falls, Iowa. The funeral was held at the Baptist church yesterday, Rev.C. W. Fletcher officiating. The remains were interred in Lakeview cemetery. DEATH OF MRS. ASA BIVENS. The funeral of Mrs. Asa Bivens, who died last week Wednesday, at her home on the South side, was held at the Evangelical church Sunday afternoon, Rev. Penticoff officiating. The remains were laid to rest in Lake­ view cemetery. Bertha Thomas was born in Osborne county, Kansas, January 13, 1885, and came with her parents to Michigan in 1891, She was graduated from the Nashville school in 1903, and had taught school three terms in Maple Grove township when she was united in marriage to Asa Bivens, September25, 1905. She leaves besides her husband a father and mother and two brother, to mourn their loss. Since last July she has been a faithful follower of the Savior and although she has been un­ able on account of ill health to attend services she kept her faith alone, and has been found ready to say a word for her faith. COUNCIL MEETING. At a specia1. meeting of the common council Monday all members were present. Mr. Hill of the Riggs 4 Sherman company was present and explained the sewer maps which were recently made by his company, to the entire satisfaction of the council. It was gleaned from his talk that the es­ timate on the work was rather high and thMpUns were very complete and took in territory that was not neces­ sary to sewer al the present time. The work is done in district* and it la plain now to the council what each piece of sewer will cost, approximately, fnerefore if the village wishes to put in part of the system now and part of It at l later dale it can be done from the plans juntas well as to construct the wholeThe president ap­ pointed the usual election commission­ ers and committees, which will be found in the official council proceed­ ings.

Gideon was in the barroom doorway, bls glowering •yes fixed on the approaching pair. Alfred discerned the hats in Gideon's snriy greeting, saw the loutish leers and nudges of the loungers, Stella's burning cheeks; he even mistook the satisfaction in Uncle Billy's hearty urging“Get outside of yo* d Inn eh at a twoforty gait, Vincent The Ovehland ealn’t wait, and Uncle Billy caln't miss ■ yu* company.

You are a lovely dryad here at your shrine, and pretty girls, to say nothing of dryads, are too few In my busy life. You surely won't be so cruel as to leave me without a word?" His manner was as respectful as he could make it. Still, Stella knew he made conquests merely toJ brag of them. "It's time for Miss Viola's les­ sons, and I must go," she said with de­ cision.

For a moment the hundred or more people In the church were dazed. Then a woman shrieked and the congrega­ tion became panic-stricken. Some women fainted and many became hys­ terical. Several men rushed to the aid of the priest and others started tn pur­ suit of the murderer. Among the lat­ ter was Patrolman Daniel Cronin, who overtook the fleeing Italian on the steps.

Thirty miles to the east “The Four" bad pushed their enter­ prise with their own stout hearts and purees, only to meet on impregnable wall of resistance. Yet tho two black years of waiting had passed, battles had been won, time and confidence gained; and the long-silent hammers were again ringing their attack upon rock and iron. Daylight had dawned Aver the eastern horizon. And now this lightning stroke from Nevada! Would those hardheaded miners be so duped? Would they not are the trick, the trap? Not see that the beginning of a second road would wreck the chances of both? They must see! The Central Pacific must win! Mr. Crocker rose quickly upon Che •ntrance of Mr. Hopkins and the ralln»d president, glad for the interrup­ tion of his unwelcome thoughts. “Tell me what on earth those fel­ lows base their claim for government aid on?” he asked before the others were seated. “The San Francisco & Washoe com­ pany claim a shorter, ’ more feasible route than ours, and the certainty of a more speedy arrival at the stale line.

But you can iwad these at your leisure. There's great news in Vincent's letter!” The superintendent had lost his despondency. "We did right to trust that young chap. What's tho biggest thing he's got to say for himself?" "For us, yon mean, don't you, Crock­ er? He's got Senator Stewart out in print against the S.

' But what about the ten millions capital?” Charles Crodker wondered If the black goblins of the morning had been, after all, only scarecrows of his own conjuring. “That's what they are going to get from the government" The president smiled al the incredulous faces be­ fore him. Scorn tinged the relief in the super­ intendent's face. "Why. they're big­ ger fools than Thompson's colt! Did Vincent show 'em up In the papers?" "He hasn't yet. He's sensible as well as sharp. He told Stewart only enough to gel him to declare himself, promising proof when it was needed. Vincent's argument was this: Tha\ the peoplu behind the San Fran­ cisco fc Washoe railroad aren't dead, If their road is; and unnecessary hos tillty to their schemes would react un­ favorably on Nevada In higher freight tariffs and in other ways—a matter to be avoided as far as possible while our road is building." “Mr. Vincent has a long head to{ one so young,” the treasurer said ap­ preciatively. "Yes; Mr. Huntington hasn't over­ estimated him. Vincent sayp further that we can work better if the oppo­ sition fancies we haven't seen through their little scheme, and of course he Is right.

"That's a good point the boy makes about lying low for a while. 1'11 make him a brakeman as soon as you'll let me have him, governor. He'll skip from freight to passenger in no time.” "That'll save us something In sal­ ary; though—" the treasurer paused. “What? You wouldn't reduce his salary, would you?" vociferated Mr. Crocker. "No; I suppose we must not, after what be bas accomplished for us.” The treasurer's voice was weary; No mother with a lean purse and a hun­ gry six could better plan through sleep­ less hours to make one dollar do the work of two than this watch-dog of the Central Pacific company’s treas­ ury, a treasury hardly besieged and seldom replenished. Not even his as­ sociates knew how, back of bls gentle courtesy, always stalked the gaunt ghost of bills nearly payable, of bills due. Yet ever upon the threshold of exposure, Mark Hopkins laid them low. The Central Pacific company never tailed to moot Its obligations. CHAPTER X. The Lonely Battle with the- Storm.

One of the most not iocable and com­ mendable points was the better order which prevailed. We can not show our re-pect for others better than by giving our attention during public speaking, or if we are not interested in what is being.said by not interfer­ ing with those who are interested and those who are speaking.

The Assyria Farmers’ club held its February meeting in the M. P. church Saturday, February 22. Thia being Washington's birthday the walls were decorated with national colors, his picture and the hatchet. The presi­ dent called for order and the usual routine and bnsiness was attended to. There were 160 present to partake of the bountiful dinner to whinh all did justice. Would you, who read these words, sell your soul, your honor, your last vestige of decency for fifty cents, onehalf dollar? No! you answer; who would? Yet when you've read this true story ask yourself the question if the man responsible in this case and the class of men whose wealth is wrung from tho weakness, misery and dispair of their fellows are not doing that very thing daily. Hud you awakened this morning after a night of rain, sno^v, sleet ana bitter wind to find'lying in your door yard the .half buried, frozen form of.a inun face downward-in the snow; who* would lour feelings have been? Think of it! Here, in peaceful, quiet, happy Nashville. If on going to him and turning over the stiffened form you bad gazed, not as you expected, on a hal'd, vicious, criminal face but upon features still young, careworn, tliitfand'despairing; a face without a line of malice or hatred, only struggle, di»sipation and hopeles­ sorrow written there. Would vour tears not have mingled with those already frozen jon his^pallid cheeks? No such thing happened you say. Ob, but it did! Only accident saved the unfortunate life. -Last Saturday night Gale B. accidentally found the man I’ve des­ cribed; helpless with drink, poorerclad and lying prostrate in the snow. His bare half-frozen fingers grasp ing for something, something that wasn’t there. It wus for the warmth, strength ana ,life fast leaving, that those mute 'unconscious hands appealed. Deputy Sheriff Downing was called and the poor fellow picked up and taken to the jail where all that could he was done to make him com­ fortable. While discussing his case he remitrkod that he came near dying and said “It would have been better if I hud.” Sad words from the lips of u man who, b'ut for whiakuy, might have found liio sweet indeed. Tire moruing before he had come to town with just fifty cents. What can possibly Ire said in favor of the man who took it from him in exchange for drink? Took it when he knew he was a common drunkard, knew that he wasuffering from consumption and only note to work part of the time, knew lie would spend his lust ceut and borrow more, if he could to buy the curse of his life. Can we help feeling that even the prince of sinners would have said “You've had though my man, better go" ‘home now",” would have sent him to the loving mother waiting him while'yet he was able to walk the four miles that lay between tlrein. I ask in all reason, had not mere chance saved him from death, would not the man who sold him drink, knowing these things, have been as guilty of murder as tho bis hands were red with blood? Can any­ thing but curses be the due of those who thus defy not only the law of our land but that higher law of human brotherhood? The writer personally knows the victim in this ease; but for whiskey he; would have been a credit to his community and his family. This is but one of numerous cases in and around Nashville. The saloons sell whiskey to many common drunkards, fathers are paying money over the bar that ought to go for children’s shoes, warm clothing, proper food and school books. Not bad men But weak men. It is for these that the voters are called upon to set in the coming election. Yes, and why shall not the victim of the liquor habit himself raise a hand against the power that is crushing him? Vote prohibition. Don’t say it will do no good. It does do good. Not so much for the oilier classes of inebriates as for those whom I’ve told you, thone who need help worst of all.' Look what the south has done. A prom­ inent negro lawyer who knows of what be speaks says that prohibition will solve tire race problem by dis­ persing the undesirable negroes. Ho says that when summer comes the vagrant and criminal class will migrate northward in search of whiskey, which is their co-partner in crimes too awful to relate. Do wo want this brute among u*»? Do the mon of Barry county want the lives and honor of their wives and daugh­ ters thus endangered? No! Then let us make haste to rid our town, our county and our state of the unbridled curse of our age and nation, the sale of intoxicating liquors. A Subscriber.

' ‘ Grain as a Weight. The name "grain” as a weight orig'-Rted in a curious way. The old Eng,.sh pound was equivalent • to “the weight of 7,680 grains of wheat, taken from the middle of the oar.” This gives 480 to each of the 16 ounces of which tbe pound was composed. Al­ though the standard Is now entirely different, the fact that there are still 480 grains to the ounce Troy and the ounce apothecaries’ weight carries u.1 back to the time of tho Conquest, and shows us how tho name grain orig­ inated. .

In addition to the sworn statements required by the hanking commissioner, a bank examiner is required to make each year in person, and at unexpected intervals, at least two examina- . tions of every, state bank. The bank examiner counts the cash, in­ spects the collateral and reports the financial condition of the bank to the state banking department. If the condition of the bank is not satisfactory to the banking department it must be made so at once or a state official is directed-to take the affairs of the bank in charge. The requirements of the state banking department in re­ gard to state banks show that money deposited in said banks is as safe as strict laws and government supervision can make it. In addition to- the state regulations the personnel of the officers and directors of l bank must be taken into consideration and also their methods of conducting the business of the bank. Therefore money deposited in this bank is as safe as government bonds. We pay four per cent interest on savings deposits and the in­ terest is compounded quarterly. Mrs. C.

Pratt. y The Maple Grove' Rural Telephone Company has completed their line to the village and are now connected with the Citizens exchange in this vil’ago. This line at the present time has ten subscribers, as follows: Chas. Evans, Ernest Gray, Frank Cooley, Elmer Shaffer, D. B. Evans, A. D. Wolf, Geo. Cheesman, Geo. Ostroth, Wm. Blowers and Alvah Bivens. Arrangements are under way for a general delivery in Nashville, and it is likely that in the near future the numerous grocery wagons will be abandoned. A majority of towns in the state have adopted the general delivery system and it is proven to be a good thing for all concerned. Individual delivery wagons are a heavy expense to the dealer and a general delivery will undoubtedly be heartily welcomed by all of them. The union temperance meeting held at the Methodist church Sunday night was well attended. Rev. C.- W. Fletcher gave the address in an able manner. His talk was timely and convincing. Next Sunday night the meeting will be held at the Evan­ gelical church and Rev. Alfred Way will give the address. . Everybody" is invited to hear him for he will have the facts and the figures to prove his side of the local option controversy. Billy Smith's folks gave a supper to a party of their friends Friday night. Bert Siebert's folks were invited. among the rest, but as ’they failed to arrive oh time Billy ran up to see what the trouble was, and found them eating their supper. They explained that they thought they were invited for the evening and not for supper, but Billy says he thinks they were afraid they wouldn’t get much to eat at his home and were going to be prepared. It’s mighty funny what an effect the atmosphere of Vermontville has on Nashville young fellows. A short time since it inspired one young man to take the four mile walk and recent­ ly it put another yolmg fellow to sleep, and it took a whole lot of tooting of the moving train to get him aroused sufficiently to get off the track, but when he awoke and saw the steam cars only a few rods away he made a noise like a fellow in a big hurry, and he’s trembling ever since; the people whom he shaves have noticed that. Fire drills will be a feature of the Nashville schools hereafter, the first one being held yesterday afternoon. Our school building is a very safe one, the doors.all swinging outward and the stairways all being broad and leading straight to the exit, while the heating apparatus is not in close proximity to either stairway. With regular fire drills there should be comparatively little danger. At the drill yesterday afternoon the building was completely emptied, without con­ fusion, in leas than two minutes.. Only three weeks more until April first, at which time we are compelled to cut from our 'list all who are a year or more in arrears. Judging by the way our subscribers are baying up we will not have to out off very many for nearly all of them are wiflinglv putting themselves right on V>e books. Of course those who do not fix up their accounts before that date must expect their accounts to be placed with a collector. It is only a little matter to each one, but a number of them means quite a sum to us, and we must insist on their being paid up at once, as the old books must be closed and a new set opened. If you are onr of the few who have not yet attendee to this matter, please do so at once, as the change in the system means a lot of extra work for us, and we want 10 got it done so that no subscriber to The Nows shall miss a single issue of the paper.

The annual village election held Monday was quite a lively contest all Jalong tou Haw aud <Wre*ult fumlshad many surprises. There were not so many votes cast as a year ago; the ■ total number being 329 as against 358 last year. The fightxof the independents cen­ ,tered on two offices, those of president ,aud assessor, and the result shows ;that there must have been men on the opposite side helping them. There Is 'no question but what the heads of both tickets wore strong, but in matter , of votes personal feelings can do < wonders. ’The great surprise was la the number of ’*straight’’ ballots cut 1by tbe respective sides. The republi­ <cans have always had a lead of from 1ten to tweniy-flve in “straights” but 1this year tbe order was reversed and tbe Independent ticket went in straight 1 eleven more times than tbe republican < ticket. Dr. Vance pulled a good 1 number of splits but Liebhauser got 1 more republican splits accordingly. 1 Henry C. .XHasner practically snowed Walter El. Burd under, 1 getting.the largest number of votes of any man on the ticket. 1 Last year Wm. G. Brooks had a majority of 133 over his opponent but 1 this year his majority was cut to 14; ’ Mr. Fleming making a fine run. Dr. E. T. Morris came next after Glasner in matter of votes received, 1 getting 190.

The sun came out bright the next morning. Bill Brooks still has the rheuma­ tism but he can go some in spite of it. One fellow telephoned in to this office Tuesday inornirg and asked how ' 'the local option question came out. A large number of ballots were vot­ <ed for but one or two candidates on 1account of the head of the ticket not 'being marked. There were 69 republican straights (and HO independent straights.

Bivens, on North Main street the 1past couple of months, died last Sat­ urday afternoon. The remains were taken Tuesday to Pontiac for burial. ' The remains were ' escorted from the bouse, where a ,prayer was given by Rev. C. W. Fletcher, by ivy lodge, Knights of !Pythias of which Mr. Kent was a ; member. Mr. Kent was born in Greenville ,and was 33 years of age. He came to ' Nashville a couple of years ago and. j has resided here since. He conducted a cigar factory here up to a short .time ago, when be was compelled to give up the work on account of his health. He was stricken with consumption several years ago and although he 1 was satisfied that nothing could be done to allay the ravages of this dread < <disease, he was always cheerful and made many friend by his congenial 1 ways. He was loved by all who knew him and will be mourned by a large 1 number of friends. 1 MINSTREL SHOW. The Nashville club has decided to iput on a minstrel show at the opera 'house to raise funds for the building' :fund. The date has not been definite­ ly settled upon but it is thought that the play will be ready for the 20th of this month. Mr. W. E. Munger of Jackson, has bean secured to superin­ tend the work. He has had a good deal of experience in this line of work and comes highly recommended. Thedale and more about the show will be �A TAIZ OF THE --------OF THE WAT whispered to Alfred. They know where the Ftora' Itos. They have 20 wfnutos to catch her.” Alfred aent a weed message to tbe company’s office in Sacramento telling at Alvin’s discovery and asking relief from his train for the day. A third dispatch went to the county sheriff, telling him of the wire tapping and of the evidence against CAdwallader. While waiting for rtplles Alfred wrote to Gov. Stanford, indloslng the cipher dispatches and their transla­ tions. But this was soon done, and the two men, oppressed with their death-laden secret, watched the clock feverishly. Tbe minutes dragged as intolerably to: Alfred; though be wore his mask more easily thao Alvin. Would they be in time? Would they catch the little steamer before she left port for her fate? Even then, would, they findthe infamous secret before Jlt» fateful moment arrived? What would it be? Powder? A slit IB the hull? A cunniag Injury* to the boiler? At last San Francisco called. Alvin sprang to the key. Tbe steamer bad started, bad been hailed, had waited for a small boat and the message, and bad gone on her way. Alfred rose, as stiff with the tension as if min.utes had been hours. "That’s all we can do at that end. Keep-your eye and ear busier than your tongue, Al, for the rest of the day. I’m off to settle with bls . nibs, Phineas Cadwailader. By the way, couldn't you contrive some way to get him loft? The train reported late io' leaving, false report, something like that?*’ Alvin nodded. “Guees I can think up that trick in four hours." At the hotel. Alfred look only time to don riding boots and to find Stella for a hurried word. “Get Sally B. to hold Cadwallader here over train time, if it’s possible," Alfred said before his good-bye. "It may mean everything to the company. I’ll' return to-night if 1 can.” ' A swift horse look him to the "Front.” whore be found the superin­ tendent riding his beat. , Alfred told bis story briefly and asked if there was a lineman on the force. "Jupiter! You can’t track that man, Vincent! The snow's come and gone since that Hecate’s job was done.” "But. fir. Gregory, he’d have to cut the wire, and he'd have to climb a tree or a pole to do it. Could that be done without leaving a trace?" "Wbat then? How can you prove it was he?"

A hasty snack at a nondescript res­ taurant, a fresh horse and he was again in the saddle, following the stage track westward, re-riding tbe miles that he might have an hour with Stella—dear Stella, who had discov­ ered the plot and whose service to hu­ manity and to the Central Pacific Rail­ road company'might'never be known to more than Alvin and himself. CHAPTER Xil. “Our Banner Shall Float Red.” George Gregory urged his horee to a gallop over the rough path that skirted the long string of ties—ties that had waited many days for jron. The nocm hour was on. At all the camps men and beasts were feeding. The superintendent toolf letters and -dispatches .that met him aa he dis­ mounted. and, passing his bridle to the man in waiting, w.ent to tbe lee side of the dining tent to read them before eating. One after another he glanced over yellow slips, tore open envelopes. "No iron yet. 'Flora' detained.'\ he read, and groaned as he thought of bare tleu, and the 60 miles still far from finished. Snatches of low table talk came to Gregory, fitful straws on gusts that swoop along the track of labor, con­ trary’ to the steadier gales of capital. “The Union Pacific ain't doin' nothin' neither; failed in their con­ tracts." one voice said. "If that company can't build a rail­ road next door to cheap food, cheap iron, good forage and a fiat country, what do these C. P. tellers expect to do against a wall of rock standing on edge a mile an' a half high?” "Yes; an’ 40 feet of snow on top of that," a third' added. "An' thar's the Iron—not enough to be had, no ships to tote it, an' 20,000 miles to come.” The superintendent beard, though eye and mind were reading letters. He though of the -delayed "Flora,” and pain stabbed shaqier at his tem­ ples. A shuffling inside warned the super­ intendent that the meal was nearly finished. He moved off a little that the men might nut guess themselves overheard; scrutinised them keenly as tljty filed out and sought here-or there a sheltered spot for pipe or chew be­ fore the short respite ended. Tbe superintendent went inside and ate sparingly of tbe coarse food, digeMlon losing its fight to the over-, wrought brain. Why could not the din­ ner-time critics, with all their know­ ings, bav«j gained yet a tew other facts? Land jobbers and stock specu­ lators held the Union Pacific fran­ chise by the throat, dallied with the work, cheated their contractors. These cheated In turn, making their cuts narrow and • ragged, their fills loose and brush padded, starving their men and failing with their time limit. No wonder United Stales commissioners refused the road! But the men of pick and abovel— men upon whom, then as now, depends the success of all contests with na­ ture—saw only the bare fact, failure. And failure In the east meant, doubly, failure in the west! ■ (To be continued) SIMPLE REMEDY FOR LAGRIPPE. I^agrippe coughs are dangerous as they frequently develop into pneu­ monia.

Schmitz immediately applied for re lease from the*county jnii, and Ruef was expected to do likewise. The prosecution proposes to al once bring to trial some of the many other • barges preferred against them. Calls indictment Defective. Tho court sustained the appellate eourt in its decision that the indict­ ment upou which Schmitz was con­ victed was defective In that it did not aver that Schmitz was mayor, that Ruef. his co-defendant. was a political boss practically in control of the city, that as such they were in a position .to exercise power and undue influ­ ence over the police commissioners and that It did not show that Schmitz resorted to unlawful moaiis in threat­ ening to have liquor licenses with­ held.

GREAT SLAUGHTER OF WASPS. Curious Custom That Prevails in West­ moreland, England. A strange custom is observed year­ ly ia tho small hamlet of Week, in Westmoreland. England, in commemo­ ration of an incident that happened in the year 1841. That year there was a plague of wasps and many per­ sona throughout the country succumb­ ___ stings. _____ . The Mted to the _polsonouu tie 'hamlet holds the record for its number of victims, and ia memory of the occurrence a memorial tablet was erected on the moor there. Now each year there ia a procession. Most of the inhabitants turn out, carrying in­ sect powder and other devlceajor kill­ ing wasps, and march to the memorial atone, where a short service is held by the minister of the parish. When the service is over a general crusade la made in search of wasps' nests, which are immediately destroyed. Some carry guns, some rags saturated In turpentine, while others carry par­ affin, which is poured into the nest and a match applied. The anniversary is considered the most important event of the year. Names of Newspapers. Is it a loose application of language to apply the word “Journal" to a pub­ lication issued every week or month? Probably not. since the idea of the word seems to have been that the news sheet was a diary, a record of day-by-day events, rather than that it appeared dally Itself. The very first regular newspaper, indeed, is consid­ ered to have been the Frankfurter Journal, which appeared in 1615 as a weekly publication. If newspapers were compelled to adhere with literal accuracy to their titles all “gazettes’* would sell for one cent, since that is what “gazette’’ originally signified. The Venetian Gazette of the sixteenth century, the parent of all the "ga­ zettes.” took its name from a coin of about that value. The Skeleton at the Feast. “The dinner was going all right," said the superstitious man, “until tbe crosseyed girl came to the telephone and stood facing the table, talking with a friend, but looking straight at us—not straight exactly—with her mismated eyes. Then the waiter got cross and spilled tbe soup and brought the macaroni without the cheese and the cheese without the macaroni and forgot the butter and nearly forgot the bread and froze the coffee and left out the sugar, and, well, just about every­ thing happened that could happen at that table after the cross-eyed girl came and stood there telephoning and looked at us.’ The Quaker Boy. For truly tbe Pennsylvania Quaker' farm anti homestead was a great place for a boy to grow into a man. The old conditions lasted till the civil war. Since then there has been a gradual scattering ot the old families, and their places have been taken by immigrants and renters of another type. The old race will be largely extinct In another generation; but many a man now in middle life or beyond who has made his mark in Philadelphia or elsewhere in business or professional life, blesses the fate that gave him the physical and moral basis of such a boyhood.—Isaac Sharp­ less In the Atlantic.

Edwin Moody and Ambrose Walton, residents ot southwest Maple Grove/ were going from Moody's place to Walton’s with a load of hay. Moody sat behind Walton on the load-and' they were conversing with each other, when Walton noticed that Moodv did not reply, and looking around discovered that he was missing'. The-road they were traversing is built, up through a low pieoe of land, andtne water at the present time is several feet deep on each side of the highway. Looking back, Walton saw Mr. Moody In tbe water at one side of the road and be climbed down from tbe load and ran to his assistance. He succeeded in getting him out of the water, but be was unconscious and Wfflton at once summoned assistance and they started to take tho injured marntp his home, a distance of perhaps forty, rods, but before they could get him home he was dead. Whether his death was caused by the fall from the load or not could not be ascertained until the arrival of a physician, but it is thought more likely that he suffered a stroke of apoplexy, causing him to fall. Mr. Moody was a man in the! neighborhood of sixty years of age, ana had lived nearly all of his life in Maple Grove, where he was well ” known arid highly respected, He leaves a wife, two sons and one daughter.

It has not lieen freely admitted by the members of this society that the mail order houses have habitually cheated and defrauded their customers, but it is a fact just the same that the mem­ bers are getting next, as the evidence comes to light. One of these facts is dearly demonstrated by the effect of the pure food law enacted by the federal government upon their business. Thu enactment of this law supplemented as it was by legislation of a similar nature by many of the states, was the severest blow tho mail order houses have received in many years They had been selling impure and adulterated and deleterious food products under false pretenses, and the pure Tood law compelled them to stop it, and in fact many of them quit the sa'e of fond stuffs for »•«« re-snn they oould not compete » ith the local mci'^hauts with tne same Uu<»,itj 01 goods. Tho federal grand jury in session at Des Moines has just re­ turned an indictment against a Chicago, linn alleging that the firm has used the mails for the purpose ot defrauding and deceiving its custo­ mers. The indictment sets out the fact that paint sold by -the firm fell short of th.- claims made for it -and that it did not contain white lead at ail, although a letter written by the company stated that it did. Another customer bought a ring advertised in the company’s catalogue to contain four.pearls and four sapphires and another advertised to contain four rubies and pearls. There was neither pearls nor sapphires nor rubies in the rings. The outcomeof the changes made before the federal. f'rand jury will be watched with great nterest, for if the allegations of the indictment should be sustained it will establish more firmly a fact of which many people have been convinced for a long time -that the mail order houses have not dealt honestly or fairly with their patrons and that their success has been due to the wholesale misrepresentation and deception. It has always been true in every com­ munity that home dealers were ready to meet all mail order competition when the purchases were made for cash and in the same quantity and under the same conditions.

In addition to the sworn statements required by the hanking commissioner, a bank examiner is required to make each year in person, and at unexpected intervals, at least two examina­ tions of every state bank. The bank examiner counts the cash,, in­ spects the collateral and reports the financial condition of the bank to the state banking department. If the condition of the bank, is not satisfactory to the banking department it must be made so at once or a state official is directed to take the affairs of the bank in charge. The requirements of the state banking department in re­ gard to state banks show that money deposited in said banks is as safe as strict laws, and government supervision can make it. In addition*td'ihe state regulations the personnel of the officers and directors of a bank must be taken into consideration and also their methods of conducting the business of the bank. Therefore money deposited in this bank is as safe as government bonds. We pay four per cent interest on savings deposits and the in­ terest is compounded quarterly.; LOCAL NEWS J. E.

Gregory thought aloud as he went to a rude kit for paper and pen. He-errote steadily for an hour, handed letters and dispatches to a messenger and was off again. Riding west to the end of tne rails two hours later he rounded the elbow of a small hill and came upon a gang I of track layers working alone, the fore­ i man being hidden by a second sharp turn. For a moment the men did not know themselves watched. Some were resting oq their hammer handles, some snatching a surreptitious smoke, while low joke snd dialogue ran lazily around. Others kept up a noise with half-hearted blows at the spikes. 'Take your time. boys. This is all the iron for a month o' Sundays. Something's gone wrong with the 'Flora,' an' the last lor was shipped on her." The plunge of the horse, urged upon the men with cruel spur, startled them Into rigidity. Gregory's hair bristled under his hat His nose lifted threat•nlntfly. His cheek paled and his eyes flung a burning spark to every shirkling soul. “You hell-hounds! Call this work?

"Let every man in camp know the iron ia coming.” Dennett moved away, and Gregory took off his hat and threw back his haad. A long breath of relief brought ease, and he lifted his eyes to the firmament. The gray day bad passed. The sun paused in splendor on the western heights, flinging a triumphant red banner across to meet the ap­ proaching twilight curve. CHAPTER XIII. Vanqnlahed.

At a nod from the governor toward the hall doer, unseen by Phineas. a man with scratch­ pad and pencil entered so quietly (hat zmlv thn ornmaslnn irnvem-­ only hr by the expression nn on ths the govern or's face was his coming announced to Phlneas. He turned and started half out of his chair, yet quickly composed himself again. "Did you get that perfectly?" the governor asked of the stenographer. He nodded affirmatively. “Read it.” The governor's voice was stern. Phineaa went ashen as the sale of himself to the corporation he hated, sentence by sentence, was riveted. But he was intrepid still, sitting erect, listening carefully. “la that correct, Mr. Cadwallader?” "Quite so. Gov. Stanford." In spite of himself his lips trembled. Rut his tone was steady. It would not ‘be so bad. he thought. "Then sign It," the governor said; „nd Phineas felt himself vanquished by the tone. He took up the pen, hesitated an ap­ preciable Instant, bls face contracting slightly yet quickly clearing, and signed. The governor did not fail to Inter­ pret correctly that hesitancy. He dis­ missed the clerk and turned to Phineaa. "Mr. Cadwallader. 1 shall not attempt to conceal from you the satisfaction this transaction affords me. 1 hope it will not be otherwise with you. Serve us well and you will find the Central Pacific company a fair employer." "I’m sure 1 shall, sir. I’ve been In sympathy with you from the start, out I had to serve those who paid me.” The governor scowled at the bald sycophancy. “Words are cheap, Mr. Cadwallader." He rose, stepped to the door to make sure of privacy, re­ turned and stood near Phineaa. His large body, powerful instrument of a still more powerful will, towered above Phineaa unconsciously threatening. Hia eye, not kind aa it ever was for friends and right doers, bin the eye that confounded malevolence, burned Into the other man's very soul, downed his gaxe, held him cowering in his chair "We shall expect more than words from you, Mr. Cadwallader.

For days Stella and Viola haul tolled at the tasks Alfred set them. Details, as well os most of the men's parts, rested on Alfred, for men were too busy or too bashful for “play acting." He had chosen short extracts from one or two popular plays and planned a couple of charades representing local interests. He bad drilled Viola in the rendering of some songs and a boj’ or two in recitation. But the ambi­ tious part of the performance was *to be two scenes from "Romeo and Juliet." Under Alfred's tuition Stella discov­ ered a different Shakespeare from her father’s pompous poet Stella walked on air. Weight seemed to leave her body. Sleep and food were no longer necessities. All day she . longed for qvenlng; all night dreamed it over again. She was Journeying the old, old rose-path, believing herself a dis­ coverer! On the morning of the day of days Gideon returned from his long ab­ sence. Stella knew nothing of his wanderings save the little told In his Infrequent letters; and she was quite unprepared for the Gideon who pre­ sented himself before her. The change ■he saw in him was mysterious, al­ most uncanny. Something about him, his clothes, his bow, his voice, an at­ mosphere she could neither define nor understand, made her feel as if a char­ acter before unknown had stepped out of a book to meet her. She was glad there was ng time for him, that she could plead the pressure of work for the evening. He bad hardly gone when Yic Wah poked his yellow face into grand­ ma'am's room, where In spite of Au­ gust heat, four women were plying hurrying needles in last preparations for the evening. “Charley Clocker, he come now plltty soon.” ‘ "Cut my shoestrings! Extras, Yic; and hurry!" Sally B. rolled up her work with one band, smoothed her hair with the other and was out ot the room before the cook's reply was finished. . "You callee me Yic Wah! Babe?

Sydney Cheers the News. Sydney, Mar. 16.—There was a dra­ matic scene Sunday at a great gather­ ing of citizens when at the conclusion of an address on the subject of na­ tional defense, the premier, Alfred Deakln, read a cablegram announcing that the American fleet of battleships would visit Sydney and Melbourne. He called for three cheers for the United . Stites, and the audience rose en masse and responded with deafening hurrahs. The prime minister said he was sure that such a welcome as an Amer­ ican fleet had never known outside of Its own country would be accorded it by Australia, and the cheering that followed this statement seemed evi­ dence of the fact that the Australians, one and all, have a feeling stronger than mere friendship for the American people and their navy. All Australia Delighted. Melbourne.

Is it possible that you are losing money each and evert day not trying to take better care of your cows and producing a better grade of cream. Why is it that one patron gets more from his cows than you? Is it because the creamery treats him better than you? No, for the creamery has no favorites: but it is because he ,----------------------------takes better care of his cows than you do. . What shall I do to better my stand­ ing with the creamery? We alll commence with the cow. Now cows are not all alike; there are cows that will not give good, sweet milk under .any conditions: those cows should'be fatted and killed. Be sure and get the best cows.‘.It costs no more to keep a good cow than a poor one. Treat her as you would like to lie treated. Procure for her a good, warm barn, feed her good, sweet food, feed her regularly, give What a man wants for every-day -her plenty of good, pure water, keep wear is a common sense shoe.

Floyd Baird ’06 visited the high school Thursday. . -When you have a task to do don’t shrink! Do it now. Rev. Fletcher gave an interesting talk in room 4 Monday. Tbe second grade has begunireading the story of ''The Boston Tea Party.r' Cheerfulness and willingness are two qualifications that It Is well to develop. Carl Coolbaugh has been absent from seventh grade on account of sickness. The third grade has begun talking about tbe life of Father Marquette as. an early missionary to Michigan. We have a boy student who would like a chance to work nighte and mornings for his board. See Mr. Fuller. Part of our new library books have arrived. They are reference books though and not to be taken from the library. We greatly regret that Miss Elma Brown has concluded to leave her school work here. She goes to a Battle Creek business college. Mrs. Marshall, Rev. Fletcher, Miss Warren, Mrs. Slout, Mrs. Putnam, Miss Smith and Miss Huwe have visited school during the past week. It took just seventy seconds to get all pupils out of the school house in our first fire drill. In five minutes you could not detect the interruption of work. Next subject' for literary debate js “Resolved that the negroes have suffered greater wrongs from the American government than the Indians.” Subject for oration— Robert Livingston. See program next week. Rev. Fletcher gave a very interest-ing and “instructive talk Monday morning on the ninth commandment. He spoke of the evil done by the tale bearer and gossiper and showed how a false report grows and travels on after doing much injustice to some. The last literary was a success from the standpoint of rhetorical work and entertainment of visitors. The debate was of a humorous ^nature and was intended as a substitute for both journal and regular debate. Because of continuel illness last week Mabie Marble was unable to debate. This was greatly to our regret for Mabie is one of our very best debaters. Dora Gokay read Mabie’s debate. Claude Marshall of the U. of M. acted as critic and commended the work done. Mrs. Spencer, Michigan state libra­ rian, spoke to the members of the Ladies’ Literary club in the gentle­ men’s club rooms Tuesday afternoon. Her talk to the ladies was informal, but very beneficial in pointing out to the ladies their duty to their children arid the children of their neighbors along literary lines. She urged them to co-operate In every possible way to buila up the library and create a more general use of the same by both the club ladies and their families. After this meeting she made a careful inspection of our public school library. In the evening she ad­ dressed a small but appreciative audi­ ence at the high school. Here she en­ countered the difficulty of speaking to so mixed an audience, but she brought a message to both young and old. She* presented the Carnegie library plan and made clear that if Nashville people so desired they could secure a five thousand dollar Carnegie library by simply appropriating one-tenth that sum yearly to its support. This -«ould mean less thas one mill to the dollar on our tax roll. She compli­ mented our present selection of books and the card cataloging, but thought that we should have a much larger library for so progressive a com­ munity and a commodious reading room in connection1. This would af­ ford the young people a place to spend evenings in company with the best in literature. GARL1NGER3 CORNERS. Mr. and Mrs. James Harvey spent Sunday at George Harvey’s. Mrs. Wm.

As a result of the repetition of Battle Creek’s 1904 flood, with inter­ est, an Investigation is now being un­ dertaken to determine the exact cir­ cumstance? under which anti-flood legislation for Battle Creek was killed in the state legislature. It has been popular to lay it onto Representative James Henry, but this official comes back now with proofs to indicate that the common council was to blame. In fact, it is asserted that Influence was used, and this fact is liable to be pub­ licly brought out Representative Henry came to Lansing with a strong charter amendment, providing for the removal of obstructions and en­ croachments upon local waterways, such being "declared a nuisance.” The amendment also was designed to pre­ vent all building over rhe streams un­ til given official 'permission, under reg­ ulations. Representative Henry - now shows, by official'correspondence, that he was Instructed to return this bill for the council’s consideration and that a weak substitute wae; sent him, thestrangest language of which was to permit the city to "exercise reason able supervision’’ over the. streams. Much’ as had been expected, nothing was done toward preventing a flood and the recurrence has brought a probable loss of >150,000. Mr. Henry seems determined to show now that this was politics.. Graft Charges Are Hurled. Charges of graft in the county drain commissioner’s office at Saginaw are contained in a report which, hitving been approved by the prosecuting at­ torney. was submitted to the board of supervisors. Former Drain Commis­ sioner E. O. Gibson, the investigating committee charges, paid 11,000 to Frank Sanderson for a drain never constructed. The ’prosecuting attor­ ney is asked to sue Gibson and his bondsmen for the sum. Tbe commit­ tee declares an order for >500 to John J. Sheat, lying in the drain office since 1903, was Issued to defraud the tax­ payers of Saginaw county, and orders it destroyed. The committee charges that >900 was Illegally paid by former Commissioner Arthur Ross to the Juliet Bridge Company above the con­ tract price for a bridge, and recom­ mends suit to recover the sum. It is also alleged that traveling expenses have long been paid without vouchers having been filed. Many other Irreg­ ularities are described. Gov. Warner Is Satisfied. Gov. Warner relative to the grand Jury said: "It would be unbecoming in me at this time to do more than to express my satisfaction with the thor­ oughness of the Jury’s work. When the Jury shall have completed ita work the public can be assured that every story of wrongdoing on the part of state officials and others that has been brought to their attention has been carefully Investigated. The investiga­ tion of the state treasury clearly makes It the duty of the next legisla­ ture to strengthen the law on this subject so as to throw greater safe­ guards around these deposits.” Finds Conditions Bad. —L. ■ C. -.....................

The nomination of Fred Slocum for reappointment as postmaster at Caro came up for confirmation in the sen­ ate, but upon suggestions made by Senators Burrows and Smith tbe mat­ ter went over and the president was asked to withdraw the nomination un­ til Representative Fordney returns from Michigan. Fordney desires have Orla 3. Patterson appointed to succeed Slocum. Seek Opinion on Constitution. David E.

Perhaps every Canadian does not know that he is a "villager.” says the London News. For the country owes Its name to a curious misconception on the part of M. Jacques Cartier, who is credited with the discovery of the SL Lawrence. He could make but Httle out of the conversation of the natives, and. hearing them frequently use the word "Kanata," their name for a village, ho fell into the mistake of supposing that it was the name of their country. Thus, in more than one sense, has Canada grown from a little village to a great state. Many sufferers from nasal catarrh say they get splendid results by using an atomizer.

Washington, Mar. 17.—The proceed­ ing by the government against the Ar­ mour Packing Company, Swift A Co., Morris & Co., and the Cudahy Pack­ ing Co., ail of them operating in. Kan­ sas City. Kan., under .which the com­ panies were each fined fl5,000 by the United States circuit court for the weetern district of Missouri, on the charge of receiving rebates contrary to the* provisions of the Elkins act, was decided by the supreme court of the United States Monday adversely to those companies. The court’s opin­ ion was announced by Justice Day. who held that the Elkins act is ap­ plicable to transportation anywhere and that an offense ia not confined to the initial point. He also held it applicable’ alike to shipper and car­ rier. Lower Court Decision Affirmed. The decision of the lbwer courts in the complementary case against the Chicago. Burlington & Quincy rail­ way company holding that company responsible for granting the rebates to the packers and fining that com­ pany for the offense also was affirmed. Justice Brewer dissented from the view of the court on the ground that the decision would work a violation o‘f contract "which."'he said, "shocks his sense of justice." Tbe chief justice and Justice Peck­ ham concurred In Justice Brewer’s de­ cision. They also held the Missouri count to be without jurisdiction. " Receipt of Rebate* Charged. Kansas City, Mar. 17.—The four packing companies mentioned in the Washington dispatch were convicted In the United States district bourt of receiving concessions on export ship­ ments of packing house products, and fined by Judge Smith McPherson here on June 22, 1905. At the same time the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy railroad company was fined 115,000 for granting concessions, and George L. Thomas of New York, a freight broker, and L. B. Taggart, his clerk, were fined and given jail sentences for conspiring to receive concessions from railroads. Ask Mercy of Court. Recently Thomas and Taggart threw themselves upon the mercy of the court, and Judge McPherson withdrew the jail sentence, the defendants pay­ ing their finee end being released. The Burlington's case is now in the Unit­ ed States supreme court. The fines against the packing houses, the Burlington vnd Thomas and Taggart were assessed — after -a lengthy trial in which many witnesses testified to cases of concessions grant­ ed and received. The packing com­ panies were convicted of receiving concessions In having accepted a rate of 23 cents a hundred pounds on ex­ port shipments from the Burlington road. PUBL IC PRINTER RESIGNS. Stillings Quits Office as Result of ■ cent Investigation. Washington, Mar. 17.—Public Prin­ ter Charles S. Stillings Monday ten­ dered bls resignation to die president and it was accepted. Mr. Stillings' successor has not yet been named. . Mr. Stillings declined* to discuss the matter for publication. His resigna­ tion Is the result of an Investigation Into the conduct of the government printing office under his administra­ tion. which was conducted by W. S. Rossiter, chief clerk of the census office. Mr. Rossiter reports that he found no evidence cf fraud or serious Irregularity. He says, however, that there have been some minor Irregular­ ities, chargeable in most cases to bad administration, and that the methods of keeping the books are open to criticism. An apparent deficit of 35CS.399, due largely to unwise outlay for equipment extravagance tn pur­ chase of supplies and Increased cost of production is shown for the current fiscal year. The report contains also Mr. Stillings* reply to its conclusions. In the main he sets up the plea that the report is misleading and unjust and that had be been permitted to complete the read]uatment of offlce conditions on the lines he had laid down the result would have been a model plant, free from the things which Invited Mr. Rossiter’s condem­ nation. A big red car belonging to the new tenants at the Hall was speeding along the Boswell common road lead­ ing into the village. Mrs. Ackers-Moltland was alone in the tonneau, with her pretty smiling features wearing their habitual air of childish disdain. No doubt her face reflected the ecstasy of mind which had followed upon the privilege of taking home the Honorable Mrs. Clay­ ton after that lady’s first call upon the newcomers. This was decidedly a good start for the stockbroker’s wife in her social steeplechase. "What a nuisance these village children are, Dickson!” she apathet­ ically remarked to her chauffeur as the near approach of the huge car to the village - had caused Dickson to slacken his speed somewhat. "They might easily find a more convenient place to play, with so many cars using the road." Since Mrs. Ackers-Maltland’s hus­ band had bought her the automobile, she had felt the increasing nuisance of a speed limit, and of persons who persist in walking the King’s high­ way. She had forgotten tbe fact that It was only twp years since fortunb (her husband’s) had lifted her from a grumbling and, dwst-covered pedes­ trian to the apotheosis of the gods of petrol, Dickson, -no doubt, held sentiments similar to those expressed by his mis­ tress, but he was too well trained to, offer mon* than a perfunctory "Yes. ma’am" as he increased speed to take the High street hllL The late autumn day had almost lost the warm touch of the sun, and the sweet dusk was already envelop­ ing the pretty English village with the shadows of evening. Mrs. Aokers-Maitland’s mind was at this time too busily engaged to castle­ building to Induce other qualities of thought. As chief architect she was rearing a social fabric of whies' the lofty pinnacle reached the clouds of highest ambition—county society. The car had taken the hill grandly, much to the consternation of the vil­ lagers, who were accustomed from time immemorial to walk tn the mid­ dle of the road, and was descending the curved dip leading through Clark's lane to the Hall. Mrs. Ackers-Maltland's mental building had arrived at the third story, rfsioned in an Imag­ inary invitation to the Hunt ball, alien she caught a momentary glimpse of a little white figure darting out from one of the narrow lanes which gave upon the road. "Oh!" And her freart stood atlll even as she put up her hands to sBield her eyes from what followed. There came a child’s cry of deadly fear, a sudden jerk to the car as Dick­ son threw out the clutch and put on the brakes—yet the hands remained before the pretty white face. When the first hot desire of selfpreservation had passed, the dainty gloved fingers slowly allowed her eyes to rest upon a small lifeless burden, under a workman's coat. "Dickson? It was her own,fault wasn't it? We couldn’t help It you know.” "Yes. mum." answered the chauffeur naively. "Were all right I used the horn often enough, and I was well under the limit, too.” A small crowd of angry men and women’had gathered around the car. and their faces denoted a desire to take niore than a passive Interest In the accident. They made way for the constable, who advanced, note-book in hand, with an Irritating air of impor­ tance. So It seemed to pretty Mrs. Ackers-Maltland. ' "I shall be willing to compensate, the parents,” she said, endeavoring to smile affably upon the bucolic police­ man. "My husband. I’m sure, wilt make It all right with them, so they won’t feel It very much." "I’m afraid. Missis, compinsation won’t touch ’er lot; they be gentlefolk," said the constable without a touch of sympathy. "There’s a nurse as is sobbin 'er ’eart out behind that hedge as says the boy belong to the new people up at the "All—a county magistrate I ’car—Ackers-something, I think she said they called ’Im.” NEW THEORY SUCCESSFUL IN INDIANAPOLIS L T Cooper Makes Many Converts During . Stay in That City. ,The new theory (backed up by his most 111 heaHh of the prwat generatian is being aown broadcast by this young man. ■ Cooper believes that the * human ctomach has become degenerate In civilized races and claims that good health Is Impossible unless tbe stom­ ach Is re-vltallzed. This he claims to do with his preparation. An article from the Indianapolis Star during Cooper's stay In that city has this to say of Cooper and his prep­ aration: "Residents of this city are being astounded by L. T. Cooper and his new preparation. “Reports that preceded Mr, Cooper’s visit here told of his success In other localities, but the Immense success of his medicine and the general belief In his theory was wholly unprece­ dented. “So great Is the rush of the public to this young man that people stand in line waiting their turn for hours In an effort to see him. The most Inter­ esting feature of this Is statements made by reliable citizens aa to tho actual accomplishments of Cooper’s medicine. Among recent statements of this character tho following Is a fair example: > a V. cu»pb«n. ot vx WubliKUn Street, hed thia to aw ol bU experience with Cooper: 1 hare w BlomBcn trouDie trouble mr for the past five years—eick and suSerina ___ ... * _ ate pain' all the 'time.

FOLEY 'Til bo ready, John, just as quick as you come and button my waist for me.“Yes,’ dear." "Don't begin at the bottom. John. You can't button a waist from tbe bot­ tom. Begin at the top—in the collar there.'’ "All right," said John, cheerfully. Pause. "What's the matter. John? Can't you find the buttonholes?" "There, I’ve got the first one,” said John, triumphantly^ "By Jingo, I haven't, either. I've got It buttoned into a hole in the lace. I'll have to unfasten IL There—now we’re get­ ting along." • "You're awfully clumsy, John. How many buttons have you got fastened?*' Tv# got one, all right," he declared. “This lace collar is the hardest part of it. I guess It’ll be plain sailing as soon as I get that done." "Well, let us see if I can do that” she said a little Impatiently, twisting around before the mirror and putting both hands back of her neck. "You've got the second one buttoned into the third hole,” said John, watch­ ing her manipulations. "Maybe 1 can fix It now; my fingers are rested." "Well, for goodness sake, hurry, or we'll be late. I'm getting all tired out standing up here, and my hair's com­ ing out of curt Can't you hurry a lit­ tler • "I'm hurrying as fast os 1 can,” he suggested, amiably. "It’s new work for me, you know. I don't see what they make waists button up the back for, anyway.” "Have you got all four buttons of the collar fastened?" “Are there four of them? By gracious, I thought there were only three! I-missed the third one—the collar's folded down so. I'll have to unfasten the last one and button the third." "Well. John Dixon, you are smart! Didn't I tell you there were four but­ tons on the collar?" "I didn't hear you, dear," he said, meekly. "Don't twist around so. You’ll have the second one out nexL There—I thought you would. Now I’ve got to begin all over." "My face is getting eo red I’m ashamed to go anyhere,” she began, dabbing some powder on her nose. "How far down are you now?” "Don’t raise your arms up that way.” he cautioned her. "You make It gape In the back, and I can’t button It at all. There—the collar's all done now, dearie. Just a few minutes more. One—two—three—four—five— six—seven—eight—’’ he counted slow­ ly. “Only seven or eight more. Now! 1 fiat's all but the book and eye." "What makes that little bulge up there near the top?" she inquired, looking sideways Into the mirror. "Well, I declare, John Dixon, if you haven’t missed one of the top but­ tons, and got it all buttoned crooked! Well, you are a smart one!" “That don't make any difference,” said John, soothingly. “Nobody will ever notice that” “Now, John Dixon, If you think I'm going downtown with a hump on my back like a camel and rqjr —nlst but­ toned crooked, you’re mistaken! Be­ sides, I'm so warm and tired I don't care whether I go now or not—so there! You can unbutton the whole thing, and I'll take It off "nd stay at home." Tears. "For goodness sake don't cry over a little thing like that,",said John in distress. *T11 button it up again In a jiffy." "I'm not crying over the walsL I'm crying because you’re so cross and mean and hateful. Don’t start to but­ ton It up again. I don’t want it but­ toned.” “I wouldn't act like that, dear," he protested. “There isn’t any use quar­ reling afioqt a little thing like button­ ing a waist. "I'm not quarreling,”, shq declared, tearfully. “I've stood up here for half an hour, until I’m all tired out, and I’ve been just as patient aa I can be, and you say I am quarreling." More tears. "Haven't you got another waist that buttons easier?" be suggested. "May­ be I could button another one tn a minute.” "No, I haven't," she said. "They all button down the bacjc." 'Then I guess we’ll have to give it up," he admitted. 'TH telephone down and tell them not to hold the tickets." “John Dixon, do you mean to say you’re going to miss that performance because you’re so stupid you can't button my waist for me?" “I don’* see how I can button it If you won’t let me try," said John, meekly. "Who said anything about not let­ ting you try?" she retorted, tartly. ’The trouble is you didn’t want to be bothered about It in the first place, and you didn’t try." Two or three minutes later it was all done. John bent over and kissed her. '/If you had tried in the first ply*, dear,” she said, "instead of being im­ patient with me and not caring, we would have been spared all this bother.", "I know, I know," he agreed, hum­ bly. "But It’a all right now, isn't it?” "I do hope my eyen won't be red.-' she murmured. "And John. tell me, is zny hat on straight?”—Success Maga rise. HASTINGS. (Delayed, letter.)

LOCAL NEWS How can a man, on a small .salary, get married and furnish a home without a bank account? The answer is easy. He can't. Of course, he can get married if he can find a thoughtless woman who will not, take the trouble to investigate his finances, but he can’t furnish a home without money. There is nothing like a savings account if you would keep poverty at arm’s length and some day have residence on Easy street. A great many people think it is of no use to save up unless they have a large amount of money to start with. This is a mistake. It is the small amounts, saved systematically from week to week, that go to make up’ the strongest barrier against need. We do not know of a better way to get a start in life than by opening a savings account with this. bank. Even if -the first deposit is only a dollar, it will serve as a nucleus around which will gather other dollars and some day a good sized account will be at the disposal of the depositor. This bank has a capital and surplus sufficient to safely carry all obligations. It‘is conservatively managed, is in the field to interest the people in savings accounts, has interested a large number and will interest many more, and thus be the means of helping many a young man get his first start in the world.

Justice Harlan Dissents. The decision in each case was op­ posed both to the states and to their courts. The opinion of the court in .both cases was announced by Justice Peckham and with the exception of Justice Harlan all the other members of the court stood behind him in the announcement of the court's finding. Justice Harlan read a dissenting opin­ ion ' In the Young case jn which he took the view that the suit was prac. tlcally a proceeding against the state and therefore not permissible under the eleventh amendment to tbe consti­ tution. , The two cases were so similar that both practically were decided in one opinion. The principal pronounce­ ment was made In the Minnesota case. Outline of the Opinion. Justice Peckham’s opinion was au­ thoritatively outlined as follows: "The court has decided: That by reason of the enormous penalties pro­ fines against the companies and im­ prisonments of their agents and em­ ployes, the companies are’in effect pre­ vented from ever questioning the validity of those laws, as the risk of ■confiscation of property and imprison­ ment of agents in case the companies Tailed in their defense was too much To undertake in order to obtain a judicial decision of the question of ■uch validity. uch laws are therefore held untltutlonal as they prevented the companies from resorting to the courts, and therefore deprived them of the equal protection of the laws. “The question of the sufficiency of -the rates tt> enable the company to obtain some return to Its stockholders •for their investments has for many years been held to be one for the courts to decide as it would be a vio­ lation of the constitution of the United States to fix rates bo low as to be •confiscatory if enforced. Must Not Be Confiscatory. "The laws providing rates for trans­ portation of passengers and freight in the two cases under consideration have been held by the courts below to be so low as to be substantially con­ fiscatory, and should therefore not be enforced until after further trials. The courts had jurisdiction to make such an order. "It has also for many years been "held that a suit is not one against tbe state, although It prevents a state of ficer from bringing suits for the en­ forcement of a state enactment which fixed rates so low as to be confiscatory and which was therefore a violation of the constitution of the United States and this principle Is reiterated . and again decided In these cases. . "It is no more a suit against the state than Is a proceeding which com­ pels an officer of the state to produce a person m his custody charged with a crime against the state before a fed­ eral court or judge who thereupon discharges such a person on the ground that his imprisonment Is In violation of the federal constitution.

Never encourage a baby to try to walk if he seems unwilling to learn. The sockets of the joints are very shallow in tiny children, and the bones so feebly connected that they are easily dislocated. Besides which, bowed legs are so much easier to avoid than to cure, and standing be­ fore the legs are strong enough to bear the weight of the body may re­ sult in permanent deformity that will cause a constant regret. About the ninth or tenth month the first attempt usually is made to place the child on its feet. Al tbe eleventh or twelfth month the child will stand with some assistance. The first at­ tempts at walking are seen about the thirteenth month. The average age al which children walk alone is about the fifteenth or sixteenth month. Much depends upon the surroundings. A great difference is seen in different families in regaru to time of walking. IVevious sickness may retard walk­ ing, or, most common of all, the con­ dition of the bones known as rickets. In some instances spinal disease may­ be the cause. Massage of the hips and legs for ten minutes after the morning bath, is the best external treatment; pour a te&spoonful of olive oil into the palm of the hand and do uot massage very rapidly or vigorously. The even, firm pressure is the best motion in a case of this sort, and combines a toothing effect and a desired stimula­ tion of the circulation. Twice a day give a half teaspoonful of Scott’s Emulsion. The combina­ tion of the oil and hypophosphites of Mme and soda will assist the other I food to build bone tissue rapidly, and | is equally necessary where the spinal nerves are diseased.—By Dr. Maude Kent, Editor of Medical Department, t “American Housekeeper.’1 Largest stock of the latest designs TRADE AT THE Mrs. School started Monday after a week’s vacation.

To relieve the worst forma of rheu­ matism, take a tea spoonful of tbe'fol­ lowing mixture ' after each meal and at'bedtime: Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half ounce; Compound Kargon, one ounce: Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three ounces. 1 These harmless ingredients can be obtained from our none druggists, and are easily mixed by shaking them well in a bottle. Relief ia generally felt from the firat few doses. This prescription states a wellknown authority in a Cleveland morn­ ing paper, forces the clogged-up,’ in­ active kidneys to filter and strain from the blood the poisonous waste matter and uric acta, which causes rheumatism. As rheumatism Is aot only the most painful and torturous disease, but dangerous, to life; ibis simple recipe will no doubt be greatly valued by many sufferers hertf at home, who should at once prepare the mixture to get thia relief. It. is said that a person who would take this prescription regularly, • a dose or two daily, or even a few times a week, would never have serious kidney or urinary disorders or rheumatism. Cut this out and preserve it. Good rheumatism prescriptions which really relieve are-scarce,- indeed, and when you need it, you want it badly. Our druggists here say they will either supply these ingredients or make the mixture ready to take, if any of our readers so prefer. , nurse _---- -------------- York, cure teveriahnees. bad atomach. teething disorders, move and regulate the bowel* and destroy worm*.

A GOOD BARN. This I* the Only Kind That It Pays to Build. * . It pays better to build a good barn than It does a poor barn. It will pay the farmer better to take time to think over the matter of building than it will to rush. In and build a barn that will become rickety In 20 years. Time slips away rapidly, and the poorly built bam deteriorates rapidly. If it is so built that it, will have a life of not more than 20xyears, then five per cent, must be charged off as depreciation each year, and this fa equivalent to an Interest of that amount, which has to be added to the Interest on' the original investment This will sometimes make a total of more than ten per cent, which is too much money for a man to pay out an­ nually on any structure. Therefore, says Farmers' Review, the part of wis­ dom Is to build for permanency. Ma­ terial*. plans and labor should be such that the bam will have a life of from 50 to 100 years. In that case the an­ nual charge for depreciation will be less than two per cent The poorly built barn will soon take on an ap­ pearance that will detract from the value of the farm, In case the farm has to be sold.

S. Sena­ tor, in case a U. S. Senator is to be elected, at the next session of the Legislature; it also provides that tbe Boards of Registration of every town­ ship in Michigan shall sit as a Board of Enrollment on the Saturday pre­ ceding the ensuing April election; therefore notice is hereby given that the enrollment board of the township of Castleton, county of Barry, state of Michigan, will be in session at Tbe News office in the village of Nashville for first precinct and at W.

How application must be made. There are two ways in which proper application for enrollment can be made: First—A written application can be made and signed by tbe voter desiring enrollment in his own hand­ writing and presented in person to any member of tbe Board of Enroll­ ment, composed of the Supervisor, Township Clerk and Township Treas­ urer; on any day before the day of en­ rollment. Blanks for this purpose can be had from any of the officers above named. Second—Ou the day of enrollment application must be made in person. It shall not be necessary for elect­ ors who were enrolled under Act 181, Public Acts of 1905, to egain enroll under the provisions of this oct, if they reside in the same voting pre­ cinct.

All members of the association are requested to attend, and all who are interested are also invited to be present. Arguing from the point of. persona! attractiveness or from the standard of duty well performed the above head­ ing is purely a statement of fact. The Michigan Railroad Commission is one of the ls« public bodies in the two peninsulas. Glasgow, Dickinson and Scully got the right,start ,ln life by having brains. Later they de­ veloped honest gray matter and good common xense. That’s why they are now among the best railroad commis­ sioners. in tha United States. When.the new law went into effect recently the. three gentlemen were appointed by the Governor, who couldn’t have done better if he’d thought .it over .two years. They fit their places so well. Of course Glas­ gow was given the big chair, as he was tbe former railroad commissioner, who .never neglected or, shirked his duty. Dickinson is strong when it comes to the operating department a* that was.his business for over twenty years, and he knows tbe ins and outs from A to Z. Scully is the legal end of the bunch and he’s a heavyweight in his class. People seldom doubt his word, because he rarely makes a mistake in judgment. You cab bet on tbe bunch individually or collectively and never lose a stake. The commissioners have juris­ diction over most everything on wheels and are doing more to bring about a mutual understanding between these corporations and the people they serve than anything, before their time, in the history of tbe state of Michigan. . • There is; of course, a code of rules Soverning their actions,, but they on't need anv rules except the principles of right and justice imElanted in their breasts. When there i trouble between a railroad and a shipper, the two are brought together ana when the conference breaks up everybody is satisfied. ThMt’s what they’call in congress "constructive statesmanship." We call it here in Michigan "good horse sense." No colored attendant carries your card to this commission. Not much. Just walk right in and tell what you want, and if it’s right, you’ll’ get it, and if you’re wrong the error will be pointed out so plainly you will feel that you are . in .the house of your friends, and just where every citizen of our state will be when he visits the Michigan Railroad Commission.’ Never was a time in the history of the State of Michigan when the rail­ roads and the people ought to be better personally acquainted, and that is one of the miss’ons of the big three. The railroad fellows are not so awfully bad when they understand what the people want, and thepedple understand what they want. The fact is there is a lot more goodness than badness in most everybody when you get at it rijjht. Kipling hit about in the center of the mark when he said: “We would love each other better if we only understood.” The trouble is t<> get’them to understand. But the three boys whose faces shine on this page are experts along this line. That’s the beginning, the middle and the end of success, and still it must not be inferred that lhe official action of the commission will be a brotherly "love feast’’—the people’s rights will be guarded and protected.—Bellevue Gazette. ______ ______ LEVI KENYON SANE. PRICES ■ ■ ■ . . . . - The probate court was busy Fridiy, Saturday and until Monday noon hearing the case of Levi Kenyon of Assyria, upon a petition to declare him insane. Mr. Kepyon, it is claim­ ed, at certain times became an Indian chieftain, a Scotchman and a .doctor, and claimed to possess miraculous healing powers. When ht, was-pos­ sessed of the Indian spirit he went through certain fantastic dances, and gave utterance to language that sounded like an Indian, but which no one could fathom. At the trial it was claimed that Mr. Kenyon went through this funny work just to take his patient’s mind off his trouble and those who listened to it came to the conclusion that it ought to accomplish the ends desired. The case was hotly contested, Prosecutor Pryor appearing for Mr. Kenyon and W. W. Potter represent­ ing ’Hie other side. The jury was composed largely of business men, their verdict being that he was sane. — Hastings Banner.

NASHVILLE, MICHIGAN, THURSDAY, APRIL 2, 1908. VOLUME XXXV DOINGS OF THE WEEK. The first meeting of the new coun­ cil will be held at the council rooms next'Monday night. There Is much inportant business to come before the meeting. THE SUREST WAY How can a man, on a small salary, rget married and furnish a home without a bank accoun. t The answer is easy. He can’t. Of course, he can get married if he can find a thoughtless woman who will not take the trouble to investigate his finances, but, he can't furnish a home without money. There is nothing like a savings account if you would keep poverty at arm’s length and some day have residence on Easy street. A great many people think it is of no use to save up unless they have a large amount of money to start with. It is the small This is a mistake. amounts, Saved systematically from week to week, that go to make up the strongest barrier against need. We do not know of a better way to get a start in life than by opening a savings account with this bank. Even if the first deposit is only a dollar, it will serve as a nucleus around whiph will gather other dollars and some day a good sized account will be at the disposal of the depositor. 'This hank^hat a capital and surplus sufficient to safely carry all obligations. It is conservatively managed, is in the field to interest the people in savings accounts, has interested a large number and I will interest many more, and thus be the means of helping many a young man get his first start in the world.

PHOTOGRAPHER Lester Larkin was at Hastings last Friday and' filled up on county seat local option water to such an extent that he became “water-logged” and in consequence he was arrested Mon­ day and taken back to Hastings where he settled with a justice in the sum of something over twelve dollars for his hilarity. • The proposed constitutional amend­ ment relative to a taxation comm is sion is not to be submitted to the people at the election next Monday, as had been proposed, for the reason that it is not a general election, Detroit city not holding an election on that day'. It has not yet been de­ cided whether it will be submitted this fall or not. Sugar making operations have about ceased in this locality. This has, without doubt, been one of the best years for-making maple sugar’ in many vears, and there has been a large quantity made here. The price, however, remains at the top notch, and therefore those farmers who are so fortunate as to' have maple trees have made well from them this year. The Knights of Pythias will hold an open meeting at their hall next Tues­ day evening, at which time their ladies are invited to meet with them to consider the organization of a temple of the Pythian Sisters. Mrs. M. Vomberg of Charlotte will be present to explain the advantages and work­ ings of the order, and it is hoped that a large number of the Knignts and their ladies will be out to grefat her and hear what she has to say.

The ground is soft after the recent overflow, and there will be more seed put on and the ground rolled as soon as possible, in an effort to get it into good shape early. . So kindly keep off the grounds until per­ mission is given to use them. * New Folders Little Gem Folders George Hartford has been acting strangely for several days and Tues­ day evening Sheriff Furniss took him to Hastings, where Judge Mack of the probate court will inquire into his mental condition. It is thought that worry over the recent death of his father has affected his mind. BROWN, Drugs-Jewelry. DOUBLES IN 17 YEARS E. V. Smith and the Mater Broth­ ers entertained a party of about thirty gentlemen at their sugar bush north of the village last Thursday afternoon. They had invited several out, but were not expecting as many as came. However, a good time was had by all who attended and they ?rave a'unanimous vote that a sugar >ush is a good place to go occasion­ ally for a jolly time. Ernest Bahl. through his attorney. A. E. Kidder, commenced suit last week against Joe. Oversntfth for damages in the amount of five thous­ and dollars for slander. The suit was commenced in the circuit court. It seems that some time ago Homer Ehret lost some hams and it is claim­ ed by Bahl that Oversmith said he (Bahl) was the party who stole the hams. Mr. Bahl did not relish the reputation this would give him and he called upon Mr. Oversmith to settle for his injured feelings. Oversmith refused to apply the balm and hence the suit.

Glenn has always had an itching to be a "boss doctor” and now that his ambition has been gratified his friends predict a brilliant future for him. He is a lover of horses and there is no doubt but that he will succeed. Mr. Hough and Mrs. Hough attended the gradua­ tion. _______ State Savings Bank, Square Business If our advertising was not consistent with the truth the people in this vicinity would soon lose faith in all we claimed, and our advertising would be worse than nothing. But when we say that we carry at least twice as much wall paper as was ever carried by any other store in Nashville every person who knows anything about the facts knows it is true, and those who don't know can easily find out the facte by comparison. We also claim to save any person at least 35 per cent on Wall Paper. Yon can easily determine the truth of these statements by comparison, which we invite you to do. We are always glad to show you.

The town, named for the reigning idol of America, would always be a junction for the travel of Nevada and Grass Valley regions, and Sally B., taking note of this, rebuilt her hotel with a glance toward permanence.

Alfred wss attached to Mr. Crocker's party for the occasion, a-sort of gentleman-ln-waiting to Miss Hamilton. Yet during the bustle of arrival and adjustment to rooms, he found a quiet moment with Stella in Sally B.’s new parlor; and the long weeks of separa­ tion were forgotten in the space of a clock tick. There was no time for leisurely re­ views, confession of loneliness and counter confession—only a brief sec­ ond with dreaded interruptions im­ pending. Alfred drew from his pocket a, small parcel and broke its fastenings. “Oh, a golden comb for gold-brown hair. And milk-white pearls for a neck as fair; And stiver chains, and all for thee; To-day our ship comes homo from sea!” be paraphrased gayly, throwing over her head a triple strand of Roman pearls. "Oh. how delicate and bonny!" Stel­ la cried, slipping them through her fingers. "I never coveted anything in my llfe sc much as Juliet’s pearls that I wore that flight—except you,” she added, looking up shyly. "That's -because they suit you, and —" The rest of his reply was inaud­ ible. "Here le the golden ■ comb, two of them.” ’ He tucked them in her hair, trying them this way and that, with lingering touches on the ‘wavy bright­ ness. "The silver chains are lacking, not because our ship's a canoe, rather because 1 wouldn't let silver come near you. There's not a silver tint in your make-up. You're all creams and browns, with gold hinting everywhere, from your dear words to the little gol­ den god that leaps In your eye when your heart beats high." "Poetry!" she exclaimed laughingly; but hushed, for he bad opened a tiny box. ft "Diamonds are for you. dearest, if sil­ ver is not" He reached for her hand. "I'm sorry the gem is so small. Some day you shall have larger ones, and many, like my mother; and—" He stopped suddenly, for Stella's face was troubled; and she put her band behind her. “Sweetheart! What's the mat­ ter?" “Oh, my dear. I’m afraid of the ring!" she said tremulously. "Why, Stella! What do you mean, dear heart? You take the pearls and the combs." Alfred had easily fallen Into the custom of the tlmr and coun­ try In his purchase of jewelry for Stella. “Oh, yea- But the ring opens the door to our heaven and lets the public In. ' Uncle Billy might give me orna­ ments or other things to wear; or Gid­ eon might; but the ring—only you could give me that. And—they will— all know. I—" "Are you ashamed of me, Stella?" he interrupted, his voice touched with sternness as well as with wounded feel­ ing. "No. no, no! But don't you see? Women will nudge me, and ask when it Is to be. and who is the 'lucky man;’ joke me unbearably. Men will. too. And you won’t be here to—to help me. Oh, don’t you see?" she pleaded. He put the ring in the box. "Yes, I think I can see.” he said dully; “you wish no pledge between us." "Oh. Alfred, are you forgetting what we said that night when you were Romeo, I Juliet? Is there anything any article in this whole round world that can bold our hearts closer?" She held out a timid hand. "I’d like to keep your ring, if I may, out of sight till—Uli—” 'Till we’re married? Then it won’t be an engagement ring!" "Must others see it to make it an engagement ring?" She held up a slim finger. "The day you say, ‘Come,’ here it shall be. Till then, please tell no I one." '— Alfred softened. He had been re- j pelled by the eagerness with which I some of the western women he had met paraded that which Stella would screen with the curtains of her heart. There was real satisfaction in his face when he spoke again. "I believe you’re right, mavourneen,” he said, tenderness returning. "Do as you wish with the little circlet” She drew from beneath her collar a gold chain and locket “My mother died before I can remember; this is her picture. Father gave ft to me the day I was 15. ” She opaned the cose, disclosing a sweet face, and Alfred bent to look at it "You are like her, but larger, more —alive." He looked up quickly. "Your mother was—was—there's a heartache In her face." '.“You see ft too?".she whispered. “I know father cherished her memory, yet he would never tell me ef her, leas of himself. And someway I’ve always felt that she was very unhappy.”’ 8teP la closed the case softly. "I love her dear' face; and beside it your ring' shall stay. Day and night I’ll think of it and of you.

Mr. Crocker has requested me—that’s a command of course—to show Miss Hamilton about, amuse her till we retdrn.” "We?" questioned Stella wistfully, dropping pearls and combs into her pocket. "Yes; I go back to Sacramento with them to-morrow. To-day we are to go over some of the grading. You must go with us. though I shall have to pay more attention to—" . “Oh, no!' Don’t ask me. I’d rather stay—" “Stella, I want you to meet these people, wish to have them know you. They are men you must know and meet often, if—If our hopes come true. Besides, Miss Hamilton Is the only woman; the others are officials and capitalists Mr. Crocker Is entertain-Ing. It will be much pleasanter for her if you go. Will you?" . Stella hesitated. Not for the reason that Alfred had asked her to “play second fiddle,” but because the vision of a small woman In neat traveling garb following Sally B. upstairs did not Increase Stella's confidence in her­ self. A sudden feeling that she sus­ pected was resentment astonished her.' She found herself angry because this •elf-tfssured woman had invaded her own domain. She took herself sharply In hand. Was this the way she should treat Alfred? Refuse bltf every re­ quest? "I’ll go because you wish it, Alfred," she said heartily. Miss Hamilton entered, looking very trim and fit in her cool, blue linen gown, with hat, parasol and furbelow In harmony. She acknowledged the introduction prettily, bowing graceful­ ly and taking Stella's hand. "Dear me. Miss Anthony! How do you manage that exquisite complexion in this heat and dust? And how can you look so sweetly serene living here, where everything is In such a jum­ ble?" she rattled ow after the first words of greeting were past Stella blushed at the glib compli­ ments. She hated herself for doubt­ ing Miss Hamilton's sincerity, and re­ plied hesitatingly. Alfred came to her rescue. "We shall start in a few minutes. Will you be ready and join us here? Well wait for you." "Oh. are you going out to view the iron track with us. Miss Anthony? How perfectly splendid! Get ready, quick, there's a dear." The words were astonishing \f> Stel- । la.

In a vague, masculine way he tried to send Stella an encouraging glance: but be missed her eye as she stooped to gather up wrappings and boxes, and her wistful look from the doorway was unanswered because Miss Hamil­ ton bad impressed Alfred's eyes and fingers to her service. "Dear me. Mr. Vincent! One of my shoe buttons is unfastened. Will you lend me your button-hook? Oh. per­ haps you'll—’’ She put out her pretty foot. Alfred was on his knee, back to Stella, when she closed the door. All the way upstairs she thought of the little scene below. Wide as was the gulf that separated Sally B. from her­ self, she knew the type Miss Hamilton represented was . farther removed. The coaches arrived and they drove eastward on the stage road till they canie opposite the selected spot, when they alighted and climbed to the high­ er railroad grade. Miss Hamilton took the center of the stage quite naturally. She wished to learn, took it for granted that Al­ fred would be a willing teacher. "Where in the world did, you find enough men? Mow many have you. Mr. Vincent? A million?" She looked up bewltchlngly; and Alfred was not impervious to the subtle flattery that for the moment invested him with the dignity of the owners and captains of the road. He smiled. "We have just one two hundred-and-fiftleth of that million. Miss Hamilton. We wish we had more. We're going to have more, if we have to steal them.” Miss Hamilton admired the con­ fidence in his words. “We've more than 1,000 horses and carts; and a >25,000 order has just been placed for more stock and tools.” "Are men so hard to get?" "White men are. Chinamen less hard.” “Why don’t you use more China­ men, then?*' she asked, glancing down from a rock that jutted into the path. "They're afraid of drill and powder,” Alfred replied to the question. They were on the grade now, creep­ ing around the shoulder of Cape Horn. Hundreds of feet above towered straight granite walls. Thousands of feet below, sheer and jagged, the walls met the foot of the opposite mountain; and in the narrow, crooked crack at the bottom the American river seethed and tumbled its tortu­ ous way to the ocean. As they came to a point where the stupendous scene opened fully before them. Miss Hamilton’s gay chatter ceased. Men hushed their talk of stocks and bonds, purchase and sale. Stella, too, forgot the.blood and flame In her attire, forgot evqg Alfred and his bright companion.

She looked up, and below, trying to measure the dluylng depths. "How ever did they get hero first? And how did they dare insult that rock monarch with powder?" Mias Ham­ ilton's gaxe crept up, and up, to the sky-robed summit “With ropes. They let men down from the top, who picked out standing room; and from that they worked a □arrow path around to the grade." "Got jdenty of engines, Crocker?" one of the visitors asked. "81x engines and over 100 cars," Mr. Crocker replied proudly, "and as many more ordered." "That Isn't a beginning to enough. You’ll be dropping an engine or a car over into that gulch every day." Miss Hamilton closed her eyes and shivered. "Oh, how lerrttytag!" "Mr. Croeker forgot to mention our powder car," Alfred added. "Powder car?" she repeated. "Sure­ ly Pluto and Proserpina will arrive to­ gether when powder rattlea over this hot, rocky spot. Do you tpink it Is so very fkr to—to—Tartarne ?” She vald. "But you never heard of a powder tar like ours; it Is iron-doored and rub­ ber-tired ” Alfred explained.

' H* Confeseee Hl* Guilt—Statement Mad* to Spiritual Adviser*—Slayer of Sweetheart Meets His Death Without Emotion. ' Auburn, N. Y., Mar. 81.—Cheater E. Gillette Monday paid the full penalty of the brutal murder of Grace Brown. He went to his death* in tbe electric chair at Auburn prison without a sign of weakness and with the same lack of emotion which has characterised him from tbe day he was arrested charged with the crime. Gillette ap­ peared to have been fully reconciled to his fate,-and tn a statement given out by his spiritual advisers Imme­ diately after the execution be made a confession of his guilt. This state­ ment was signed by Rev. Henry McIluavy of Little Falls and Rev. Cordello Herrick, the prison chaplain, who bad attended Gillette since be has been in the death cell at the prison. It was as follows: "Because our relationship with Ches­ ter Gillette iras privileged we do not deem it wise to make a detailed state-, ment, and simply wish .to say that no legal mistake was made in his elec­ trocution." Crime Never Publicly Admitted. Gillette himself, so far as the pub­ lic was concerned, never admitted h's crime. His last word, in. the form of a statement which be prepared with painstaking care, was made public after he had been put to death. In this statement Gillette Implored young men to lead Christian lives. Any fear which the prison officials may have en­ tertained that Gillette's remarkable composure would desert him al the last moment was quickly dispelled when be stepped from his cell to the corridor leading to the death chamber. His step was flrm and strong and he walked rapidly toward the instrument of. death. Not even by the quiver of an eyelash did he betray the least sign of emotion, and at no stage did be require assistance from the keeper and bis spiritual advisers who accom­ panied him in his last vfalk. He seat­ ed himself in the chair, the straps and electrodes were placed, and within two minutes Gillette had been offi­ cially pronounced dead. Pays Penalty Quickly. The electrocution was marked throughout with celerity and in the minutest details carried throughout to Its culmination. The man was declared dead by the officials at 6:18, but by the watches held by some of the newspaper reporters it was two minutes after that time when the warden said to the witnesses and at­ tendants: "Gentlemen, the physicians announce that the man is dead." The electrocution lacked much of the solemnity of former executions, and during most of the time, except for the brief space when the electric current wa| coursing through the man's body.There was a hum of voices in conversation. This grew so marked during the time that the physicians were making the examination of the body for life that the warden found it necessary' to pound on the tile-cov­ ered floor ot the chamber for silence. The current was ot 1,800 volta at 7^3 amperes, and it was held on one minute and three seconds. When this had been done careful examination of the man's heart was made, but there was no sign of lite. < EXPRESS MESSENGER KILLED. Murdered by Robber Who Plunder* Both Safes in Car.

I first meeting since organization. Pres­ ident William kohlmeyer, in his, an­ nual .address, said the thrashermen must go after equal rights in the high­ ways with other vehicles. He also made a plea for good roads. The wool buyers' meeting was presided over, by E. C. Roberts of Durand; The mem­ bers were greatly agitated because of the decision of eastern buyers that wool tn this territory must be sold by consignment as no buyers will be sent here. It I* asserted that Michigan farmers have been using , sisal twine to tie their fleeces, and that this im­ pair* the market value of their prod­ uct Wool twine should be used, the eastern dealers declare, ant’, as this twine is not obtainable the buyers are in distress. The State Plumbers’ as­ sociation adopted a resolution urging an advance in the movement for the establishment of public comfort rooms in all the larger cities of the state. It was decided' to hold tbe next annual meeting in Flint, and the following officers were elected:, F __ 24—. • President, George A. Richards, Grand.

The governor in Washington called at the White House and paid .his respects to Presi­ dent RoosevelL He was accompanied by Representative Sam W. Smith. The governor said on returning that In his opinion 90 per cent, of the people of Michigan are in favor of the nomina­ tion of Secretary TafL He said that he was quite positive that the votes of the entire Michigan delegation would be cast for Taft on the first bal­ lot notwithstanding tbe fact that the delegates from the Eighth district go uninstructed. Gov. Warner said that he was quite positive that he would be renominated for a third term for governor. Warner saya that his cam­ paign will be on his past record as governor and that he has assurance that the people of Michigan want him to run again. Warner does not think he will have to do much campaign­ ing. He thinks that the people believe that he should be permitted to. carry out some of' the unfinished policies of his administrations which were ham­ pered with. j Denies Charge of Lobbying. *•' "We did engage Attorney Guy A. Miller to go to Lansing for the pur­ pose of protecting the Interests of Wayne county before the constitu­ tional convention,” said , Auditor T. ‘ "Alder­ man McClellan says . we hired a lobby­ ist at tbe county's expense to work for bills which were for the personal interest of the auditors. That is un­ true. Wayne county, being so much larger In population and wealthier than any of the other counties, re­ quires peculiar legislation and legisla­ tive power. For Instance, the consti­ tutional requirement that not more than >1,000 shall be raised by any county for construction, repairs or maintenance of any county building without vote of the people, is all right for a small county, but here we are constantly forced to evade it. There were other measures, affecting the probate judge's office, the prosecuting attorney’s office and other depart­ ments, which the delegates-at-large would not understand or care for. We knew it would not do for any of us to go to Lansing to work for the meas­ ures, as it would arouse inquiry. So we engaged- Mr. Miller.’’ Watch Forart Tax Study.

Foster of the forest service has been sent from Washington to take up the investigations on tbe ground im­ mediately. Because of Its thorough­ ness the study is sure to be followed with great interest by Michigan and lhe other states which are finding the forest tax problem a serious check to forest preservation. Mr. Foster will find out by painstaking inquiry in various part* of the state and among all classes of citizens just how the present laws are administered, how they are regarded and what their ef­ fect is on the lumber industry and forest preservation. The result will be to furnish a better basis for revis­ ing it* system of taxing forest lands than any state has ever had before. If changes in the present law* are found to be needed.

When an eminent authority 'an­ nounced in the Scranton (Pa.) Times that he had found a new way to treat that dread American disease, Rheu­ matism, with just common, every-day drugs fonnd in any drug store, the physicians were slow indeed to attach much importance to his claims.* This was only a few months ago. Today nearly every newspaper in the coun­ try, even the metropolitan dailies, is announcing it and lhe splendid re­ sults achieved. It is so simple that any one -can prepare it at homo at small cost. It is made as follows: Get from any good prescription phar­ macy Fluid Extract Dandelion, onehalf ounce; Compound Kargon, one ounce; Compound Syrup Sarsapa­ rilla, three ounces. Mix by shaking in a bottle and take in teaspoonful doses after each meal and at bedtime. These are all simple ingredients, making an absolutely harmless home remedy at little cost. Rheumatism, as every one knows, is a symptom of deranged kidneys. It is a condition produced by the failure of the kidneys to properly filter or strain from the blood the uric acid and other matter which, if not eradi­ cated, either in the urine or through the skin pores, remains in the blood, decomposes and forms about the joints and muscles, causing the un­ told suffering and deformity of rheu­ matism. This prescHption is said to be a splendid- -healing, cleansing and in­ vigorating tonic to the kidneys, and Rives almost immediate relief in all forms of bladder and urinary troubles and backache.

Tbe truth cannot be too strongly said, but we should weigh our words before uttering them and be positive they are Ute truth, for we know not ourselves as others do. We are quite apt to over-estimate ourselves. I don’t with to be understood as saying who. Is guilty, but I wish to emphasise the fact that the jury must have weighed, the evidence and acted accordingly. It • is a rich blessing to have a mother, and for her >young men and women can be’ truly thankful, but what should be our attitude toward . a girl without a mother? Truly, we candut do otherwise than show our ■love and sympathy and give her a hfarty welcome and a word of en­ couragement. Our girls may some day be motherless and a sad lot may befall them. .

I had a dull pain in the lower part of my buck. I have taken almost one hottie of the New Discovery and am ao wonderfully improved that I have come down here to thank Mr. Cooper in person and ob­ tain more of the medicine.* “Another individual interviewed was Mr. J. H. Brooka, living at M7 Walnut street, who had the following to say: ’For the past eighteen months I have been a constant sufferer from catarrh of the head and stomach. My nasal passages would become inflamed and bo re. I would have severe headaches, which affected my eyes, and great crusts of matter would drop into the throat, causing an irritation of the bronchial passages, until the eteyarh finally became poisoned. When 1*would lay- down at night a phlegm Would gather in my throat until it almost choked , me. and would cause an an­ noying cough. Half a bottle of Cooper’s New Discovery gave me re­ lief, and when the first bottle was fin­ ished I felt'like a new man. I am now completely cured and consider Cooper’s New Discovery the greatest catarrh, blood and stomach remedy In the world.'" The Cooper preparations have been wonderfully successful throughout the United States. We consider them re­ markable medicines and would ba pleased to explain the nature of them. —C. H. Brown. An adequate Idea of the intense in­ terest which has been aroused by young Mr. Cooper during the past year with his theories and medicines is given in the following article which appeared in the Cincinnati Post while Cooper was introducing his ideas to the people of that city. The article aaya: "The beginning of Mr. Cooper’s second week in Cincinnati gives every ' Indication that he te to enjoy the same astonishing success here as in other cities. ' "From the first day of his visit the crowds that call to see him have stead­ ily increased, ontll now it has reached a point where several thousand talk with him each day. The entire city seems to have become Interested in his theory that the human stomach Is degenerate, and he already has an army cf followers in Cincinnati who seem positive that his claims are cor­ rect. ' “A number of Cincinnatians were interviewed at Cooper’s headquarters on Friday, and several interesting statements, showing their intense faith in Cooper’s preparations, were secured. The following are selected from, these statementa and are characteristic ot them all: Mrs. M. B.

The result of the vote shows that the people spoke unmistakeably in this county for the banishment of the saloon, and their edict will stand for two years at least. The election Monday furnished many surprises, but the greatest sur­ prise was in die size of the majority that was rolled up for local option. It was quite generally believed that the county would go “dry", but we do not believe that the most active sup­ porters of the cause believed that it would go with such an overwhelming majority. The total majority for lojal option is 1,392. Every precinct in the county, with the exception of the first, second and third wards of Hastings, had a ma­ jority for the cause.

The first meeting of the new council was held at the council rooms last Monday night and started the ball rolling with a vim that would indi­ cate a healthy business the coming year. All members were present and President* Liebbauser decorated the “throne,” and handed out his com­ mittee appointments as follows: Finance—Zuschnitt, Murray and f/idewalk and sewers—Murray, Wen­ ger, Morris. ’ Street—Shilling, Keyes, Wenger. Water works and light—Zuschnitt. Morris, Shilling. Fire, park and information—Keyes, Zuschnitt. Murray. A resolution was passed which creates a new appointive office in the villagd, that of water commissioner. This was done to facilitate the matter of the. water business and throw it all under one management, as the way it has been handled in the past makes the business pass through too many hands. It-lstheintentionofappointing the »uj>erintei?dent of the water work* as thecommi<sion*r, and he will attend to all the collections and permit* and will be instructed to p a map of the water system and 1 a correct record of all taps ai business pertaining to the water business. This office has always been with the clerk and it was thought best to put it all under one head.

As it has been in the past the records have been dumped in the town hall and when anything in them was wanted itwas Hxedooking for the proverbial needle in the hay stack for it. _. Bills to the. amount of about a hun­ dred dollars were allowed. Several matters were talked over, among which was the ’ erection of a drying tower‘for the fire ho-e, and while It was not definitely settled, the opinion of the council was that the bell tower which now graces the west end of Maple street be used for a part of the tower, which will be moved to the city hall and enough added to it to make it of sufficient height to accom­ modate the hose, and to place the bell on it and pot In an electric appliance so that the bell can be rung from the telephone central.

Let us show you the line. Brown. Humane Officer Eugene Randolph re­ turned last night from Hastings, where he made complaint and took out a War­ rant for the second time within two years for the arrest of Clark Barber, under a charge of cruelty to animals. Two years ago be was called to Hast­ ings and after an investigation at the farm of the Barber brothers in Carlton township, had them arrested. Both, were fined. Yesterday he went to the same place again. One of the brothers bad died in the interval since his first visit. The humane officer claims to have found about fifty bead of cattle, fifty sheep and twenty-four horse* showing evidence of improper care. The cattle were so weak, he says, that when once down they could not regain tneir feet without assistance. The hu­ mane officer reports that there was no adequate reason for such a condition of the stock, since Barber has money aud even plenty of feed. Two colts seemed in good condition, be says, but all the working horses were weak and emaciated. He returned to Hastings and swore to a warrant before Justice Bishop. The humane officer was ac­ companied by the undersheriff of Barry county.—Grand Rapids Press. Two dogs got into Tobald Garlinger’a flock of sheep last Wednesday night and before they were driven away did great damage to the flock, killing­ twenty-two and wounding others. Mr. Garlinger heard the racket they were making and upon going to the field where they were, looked upon a scene of confusion and blood shed that would have done well for a Russo-Jap battle. Sheep were run­ ning in every direction, carcasses were strewn all over the lot, sheep were hobbling around with legs chew­ ed off, hide torn from their backs, oae, but the other killed and it is �THE IRON WAT , \ - ,■ -\^<F -A ■- - —'Az they neared the camps their ■GUvereatfon changed from railroad to ether subjects—the latest book; the ■•west dance; the poem or picture Boat in the public eye.

"1 could say things like those. I know a little of mythology and history." She won<ered why she had never used such language with Alfred, why he had not talked with her as be did now with Miss Hamilton. Stella lifted her head In a spirit of rebellion quite new to her. She could never acquire this subtle manner; and she should not stand in Alfred's way. He would succeed. From serving he would soon advance to ordering. He Would need a wife like Miss Hamilton, j Mr. Crocker called Alfred for some questioning, and in hla absence Miss Hamilton turned to Stella. "I'm afraid I'm monopolising this • oppor­ tunity, Miss Anthony. It's my first ▼lilt, you know." ■ "It Is my first visit here, also." Stel­ la replied. “Your first?" Miss Hamilton's eyes opened wide with not too civil ques­ tion. "Oh.” she laughed. "If you live here and don't care enough to come and see these wonderful things I Shan't let my conscience sit up nights over my monopoly of Mr. Vincent— | and the conversation." She turned to smile at Alfred reappearing, and Stel­ la was without opportunity to explain that, despite enthusiasm and apprecia­ tion. the railroad grade was not a proper promenade for a girl alone. The young people lagged, in spite of the call of the leaden, and arrived at the camps to find them already alive With men and beasts. “Oh, I must see the Chinese camps," Mias Hamilton cried. "I've heard of them.” They were tn time to see the cooks •erving from great cauldrons to each man his little keoler full of boiling water. There was also an array of big black pots simmering over camp fires, yet white and savory messes were within, announced by attractive odors. "What do they do with those little tuba?” Miss Hamilton asked, as she ■aw the coolies disappear within tents ©r brush shacks.

She wished to stay to see the yel­ low men in "dinner dress,” squatting with their little bowls and chop-sticks, chattering over their “llcey;" but her uncle sent back a second hurrying summons that held a note of impa­ tience; and Stella pushed ahead with euro steps, following her temporary es­ cort.

It was quite dark when they drove up into the hotel brilliance. Stella alighted after the others; yet she heard Miss Hamilton’s graceful thanks to Alfred, saw the lingering hand­ shake, the appeal in her eye, while she leaned upon her uncle's arm. Sally B. came out to meet them; ' and the lantern swinging In the even­ ing breeze threw fantastic, dancing shadows on the group.

The band was playing ax they en­ tered. Stella's quick eys noted with sudden aversion the three reserved chairs, and the absence of Alfred and Miss Hamilton. "Let me sit on this side with you and Viola, won't you. Miss Bally?" she asked so/tly. "But there's no seat on this side, chicken." Sally B.'g whisper was far audible. A gentleman rose at once and of­ fered his arm, which Stella-accepted to save further confusion. She was rosy with embarrassment, though no other hint of it showed in her stately CHAPTER XVIII. Ths Little Woman In Blue. Sally B.'s ready skill soon had the an­ kle rubbed to comparative ease. She prescribed bed; but Miss Hamilton de­ clared for the banquet even If she must be carried there, and gladly ac­ cepted Stella's offer of help with the dressing. Miss Hamilton's lingerie was hardly less costly and dainty than my lady's of to-day. White silk hose and satin slippers; multiplied skirts more lace than cambric; the combination of lace and blue silk tissue that was the filmy little gown—with careful hands Stella unpacked and laid them, a snowy heap, on the bed. The toilet went slowly. Stella had been taught a decent respect for the human body; and her Innate love of beauty and order had blossomed into an honest personal neatness. But such complicated hair-dressing, such caressing of eyebrow and lash; such critical attention to hands and nails; the bathing, hot and cold; the rub­ bing and patting of cheek-and arm. be­ fore lotion, powder, and a wee touch of rouge went on; .the examinations at each stage with, hand glass and mir­ ror, Stella bolding one of the lamps which she continually adjusted to new angles of reflection—this was an amaz­ ing revelation to her of Eve-old femInine adoration at the altar of self­ adornment A rap at the door and the hearty voice of Mr. Crocker called from with­ out: "How's the ankle, Amabel? How soon will you be ready?” "Better, thank you. Uncle Charley. You may come for me In five min­ utes. I can do by myself now," she contiued to Stella as her uncle walked down the hall. “It's splendidly kind of you to help me. and so beautifully. If you ever need work I can get you a position as lady's maid. I'll give you a fetching character.” Stella winced, yet chided herself for It. 8he knew Miss Hamilton was only "in fun." Still, how could this delicately reared city girl believe such a big, awkward creature as herself capable of filling any but a menial po­ sition? The real unkindness for which Miss Hamilton failed to apologize, the scant minutes she had left Stella for her own toilet, went unnoticed; for Stella was too generous a giver to count the cost of her givings In her own room she smiled to her­ self while she quickly made ready, colling as usual her thick waving hair, but adding her "golden combs;" slip­ ping hurriedly into her simple white gown and Its simpler accompaniments. A cluster of tiger lilies, an offering from flower-loving Yicy Wah. caught her eye. She pinned them on her breast, and hastened downstairs, meet­ ing Sally B. and Viola in the hall. "Oh. here you be! What made you so late? I was jest cornin' fur you. I see they've reserved a seat on both sides o’ Al Vincent's. One's fur you, I reckon. I'm Bittin' third from Char­ ley Crocker—big bugs Is next to him —an’—cut my shoestrings! You look splendiferous!" she exclaimed as they came under the lamp. "Don't she, ma?" echoed Viola, heartily. "Say. honey, them tiger lilies suits you; an' I'd never 'a', thought It. They got colors In 'em like yo’ hair an' eyes, shore's yo’re born. Then they're kinder secret an' powerful lookin', like they could do things to all the other flowers." "What an odd Idea!” Stella said wonieringly. “Is it? Well nobody won't git their secrets a-studyln* of their looks; no more will they your’n, Stella. Your face gits secreter an' eleganter every day.” Sally B. never paused for a word. It might not be the right one, but her meaning carried, as the It makes you long for dinner time < CALUMET BAKING POWDER < Best for flaky pastry, v wholesome bread and biscuit r —best for crisp cookies— best for delicious cakes, tooth­ some muffins, doughnuts that will melt in your mouth.

Stella was hardly seated when Miss Hamilton entered, leaning on Alfred's arm la the dependent style of the time. Miss Hamilton had timed her com­ ing to that awkward instant common to banquets, when all await some in­ comprehensible delay, and when any diversion is welcome. The two walked slowly down the long room. Miss Ham­ ilton's step and movements so per­ fectly artful that they seemed artless —young women were bo trained then. A hum trf admiration went round. Stella had nut before seen Allred In evening dress. The night he wore Romeo's velvet and laces he was more splendid; but this conventional dress, finely displaying his slim figure, belonged to a world she knew not. She noticed proudly that he wore hts • clothes with an accustomed ease, saw also that he was the only man in the rocm who could fitly escort the dainty woman who floated by his side, a sum­ mer cloud in her filmy white draperlea Miss Hamilton seated herself de­ murely and exchanged salutations with the gentleman at her right. Alfred seized that moment fur a word with Stella. "Why didn’t you wait for ns? I haven't your permission to mention our engagement, but I wish Miss Ama­ bel to suspect it. Yet you make it im­ possible. Stella.” She thought of herself entering be­ side that perfect pair and was deeply gratetbl to the chance that prevented It She noticed Alfred's use of Miss Hamilton’s given name, and the omis­ sion of his usual endearment to her­ self. and because she was hurt she dared not be serious. "Do let her think the coast clear; it will be such a fine test of your constancy." she said with a flippancy astonishing to him. He was too thoroughly masculine to fathom the art a woman uses to hide her wound. Neither could he reply, for Miss Hamilton turned, to him with some laughing remark. The insistent band, undaunted by two partitions, blared the popular airs of the day; sentiment, frolic, pathos: "When This Cruel War Is Over,” "Ever of Thee." "The Maiden's Prayer." "Champagne Charley," "Last Ditch Poika." the last two accompanied by a soft tapping all along under the table. . Sally B. sat opposite Stella, her eyes seemingly on all the waiters at once, yet she found time for the guests and their conversation. A slight commotion at the door ar­ rested the attention of the guests. There came a gust of subdued yet excited Chinese chatter, a pause, and the entrance of two men carrying a lowering white pagoda, surmounted by the word "God," In huge gilt letters. With some difficulty the sugary struc­ ture was safely landed In the center of the table, and Yle Wah and his as­ sistants withdrew to the cover of the doorway, where Stella saw the cook peeping expectantly through. It was his master tribute to the occasion. An Instant of silence followed; then an Infectious snicker ran around the table, in spots breaking into an actual laugh. Stella saw Yle Wah’s -eyes open wide with astonishment and question; yet in a breath they gleamed with anger. His face went livid, and he hurried away. But Sally B. saved the moment. "My cook set up all night to make that cake. Mr. Crocker: please don’t laugh!" she whispered past the two intervening guests. At once the host rose, and taking his cue from her anxious face, pro­ posed a toast to "The Cake and the Cook," that was responded to with hearty cheers.

EXCURSION Sunday, April 5, growers showing how many pdlatoe* result of the use of the fertilizer. * Bolls differ so radically that it- is Impossible to make a fertilizer mixture that will be suited to the production of a certain crop in all places. The supposition that such is possible is a delusion and a snare. ' . Every farmer should try to read the reports of the Investigations of soils, that he may be able to form a true conception of the needs of his soil. To show how enormously soils differ we have but to Journey to different parts of the state of Illinois or to any state where a soil survey has been made and experiments undertaken. Go d»wn into tlie Kankakee marshes that ’ -re been drained and brought Into cultivation. They have soil so rich in nitrogen that it is a loss of time to put on nitrogenous fertilizers, and $40 of blood per acre gave no results. But a little potassium made the soil bring forth ten fold. Just the oppo­ site may be found in another county where the land lacks nitrogen and has enough potassium. There the applica­ tion of potassium had no effect while a little bldod accomplished wonders. Many soils have both potassium and ■nitrogen, but lack phosphorus. This has to be supplied before they will give returns of any consequence. As long as men buy fertilizers because they do well in some places, so long will they throw away a large part of their money. Soils differ in different counties, and they- differ sometimes on the same farm, says Farmers' Review. Fre­ quently one part of a farm is of one geological formation and another part of another geological formation. One may have been created a million years before the other was created. One may be product of the grindings of the glaciers, while another may be the re­ sult of the slow action of water de­ positing its silt little by little. One part of a man's farm may be rich in nitrogen, while another Is starving for it A man must know his land and what is in it Via Michigan Central, to Thornapple 25cents, Grand Rapids "0 cents, round CARRYING TRUNK IN A BUGGY. trip.

WOULD TRY IT ON THE CAT. Irishman Had Cheaper Form of Analy­ sis In His Mind. Expert testimony may be valuable from a scientific point of view, but there are often cheaper ways of es­ tablishing a certainty, as (he hero of the following anecdote decided at the last moment An Irish laborer en­ tered a drug store, and drawing a paper bag from his pocket poured on the counter a number of very sticky and unattractive looking lozenges. “Can ye examine this'candy?" he asked. "It looks queer. What Is the mat­ ter with It?” asked tbe druggist "Plzen, Ol’m thinkin*. Did ye ’*er see such stuff? Dinnis Daly give them to me b'y, and Dinnis ia no frind of mine." "Well, I can make an analysis." ' "All right Oi’ll come In to-morrow on me way from worruk.” The Irishman had reached the door, but be suddenly stopped with his band on the iatch. "And how much will thot 'nalysls be costing me?" he inquired. "Five dollars,” was the answer. The man walked over to tue coun­ ter and swept tbe. lozenges into the bag. which he replaced in hts pocket. “Niver molnd,” he said. "01’11 feed wan to the cat" Family Commits Suicide. A quadruple suicide occurred at Koi ozsvar, Austria, a man, his wife, and their two grown-up daughters banging themselves.

They left a letter, signed by all four, asking the police to keep the affair secret Billions of Pins and Buttons. Twenty billion pins and five billion buttons were produced by American factories in 1905. The United States also produced In that year 200,000,000 needles, nearly 400,000,000 safety pins and 250.000,000 hairpins. With Thanks. Carrying Trunk In Buggy. 8 feet long. Nail a board acrosa the ends as shown in a of the accompany­ ing illustration. Place the free ends beneath the seat and under the foot rest in front, letting the frame extend behind the buggy.

Serviceable Paint Which Is Made Out of Sour Milk. A serviceable paint for farm build­ ings can be made by thickening sour milk or buttermilk with Portland ce­ ment and metallic Venetian red, or bright red paint powder to the ordi­ nary paint consistency. I painted the outside of my bam (rough lumber) with this mixture and also painted a few boards with ordinary oil paint as a check, and six years after the milk paint had preserved the wood better than the oil paint It has kept Its color and shows no sign of age, writes a farmer in Indiana Farmer. This paint will not rub or wash off like whitewash. The grease in the milk seems to have the fixing quality, as I tried using water with the cement and found it rubbed off readily. For this reason it is judged that sour milk is better than buttermilk, as it contains more grease. This sort of paint costa but little and can be mixed up in­ stantly. It Is very valuable for doing little odd painting Jobs around the farm which might not otherwise get done. It is necessary to keep agitat­ ing the paint, as the cement settles quickly.

The following extract from the Tribune of Minneapolis give* an idea of the sur­ prising number ot people who are ac­ cepting Cooper’s theory. The article was one ot many that appeared during Cooper’s stay in Minneapolis, and Is as follows: "The sale of Cooper's preparation is now phenomenal In this city, and an estimate made today seems to* indi­ cate beyond all doubt that It will equal the large figures reported from Pitta. burg during the thirty day* Mr. Cocoa er spent in that city. -During the pact twenty-two dayr Mr. Cooper has been in MlnneapoiliB tbe sale of hta preparation has aven­ aged about two thousand bottles a day. When the amount ot medicine disposed of throughout the state is added- to this, the amount will be doubled. Therefore, the young man has sold in twenty-two days eighty-eight thousand bottles of his medicine in the state of Minnesota alone, which is a truly re­ markable record. "During the past week so many hun­ dreds of Minneapolis people have been calMng to thank Cooper for the good he 'has accomplished with his medi­ cine, that It is safe to say that hl* visit will long be remembered by the sick of the city.” famoy8 Cooper prepare ■ tlon which has made a similar record ' to the • above wherever introduced.

She watched him down tbe street to the stage barn, where she knew no item of preparation would escape his vigilant eye. Yet there, was time to spare. Would be take advantage of It? Perhaps not. She knew he was master of that.perfect relaxation that prepares for stress as well as sleep does. Alvin had dropped his study, Viola wax fighting her trouble alone and Sally B. was in' the kitchen. Stella, left with no pressing duty, wandered into the dark parlor. Lighting it was Viola's task, .but she had forgotten to­ night. to Stella's satisfaction. She drew a chair to the window that faced the dim ihountaln across tbe gorge, closed her senses t6 the little world about her and was quickly off with the sprites of the night to keep her heart's tryst with Alfred. Not quite alone did they two meet this night in fancy’s fair halls. Viola. Al­ vin, even Sally B.’s uncompromising black eyes interrupted Stella's dreams. Minutes ticked by unheeded. Hur­ rying feet caffieand went; calls, cries, hasty commands, odors of unusual cooking floated past Inadequate doors; but Stella was oblivious till a draught of air struck her .cheek sharply and Gideon's voice called her. She started to her feet. "Gideon! Where—you said 'To-morrow' in your message! Who told you 1 was here?” “No one. 1 can always find you. Stella. Something tells me. The In­ stant I opened the door I knew you were here. A kind of fragrance—1 could tell It;—-” "Don't, Gideon," she interrupted. She was looking for matches, but his alert sense caught the aversion in tone and movement "Your father once told me that a Pima princess was my great-grand­ mother. 1 cannot escape my heritage from her." He took the match she had struck and lighted the hanging lamp. The flame shone full on his upturned face, and Stella gazed at him fas­ cinated, while be adjusted wick and shade. He seemed to her excited gaze the concentrated beat and pulse of a hundred lives controlled by the master will that spoke through his burning eyes. Often she wondered about his power over her, wondered why Gid­ eon away, was so small a part of her life; yet near, so masterful, monopoliz­ ing. In the pause while he attended to tbe lamp this -question, rose again; and was still unanswered. He turned to meet her mute scru­ tiny. His eyes were deep and tender, his voice wooing. "You're glad to see me. aren't you. sweet Star?" He threw his arm about her waist with a motion both swift and gentle, as might be a panther mother's, and kissed her on the forehead. "Dotft, Gideon!" Stella cried, breathless, struggling unavalllngly. yet not quite sorry that bls arm did not yield. Always with Gideon present came the memory of their comradshlp, a comforting sense of his strength, a desire to lean upon him. If he would only be coutent with brotherliness! “Moppett, why do you push me away? It's so long since I saw yen. If I were your brother by blood as I am by rearing, you'd take my kiss, and kiss me back. Isn't the tie almost as then straightened to a new manliness. Ta the parlor she found Sally B..

I hope never to see your face again!" Gideon did not speak. Stella roused and angry was a new being to him.' He had not realised that, her spirit yas as intrepid as his own. Stripped of compassion for his: love of her, wrenched free from the-claim of their past, she flung out her stinging words like whip-strokes. "Love! What do you know of that sacred thing? Hide In your moun­ tains? Yes! And stay, till you learn that first of all love is not for self, but to serve the loved one. I could never love you. If 'Alfred were ten times dead. I'd not marry you!" Red lights were burning In Gideon's passionate eyes, and he. turned to her with savage counter threat. "Whether Vincent' lives or not. you shall be my wife. Stella Anthony! There's no other woman in the world but you, and 1 shall be Worthy of you. You shall see my face again—you shall pray to.see It!" He towered overher, his stormy eyes fixed on hers un­ flinchingly. yet he did not touch her. "Good-bye,"^ he said in a lower voice. "I shall find him; and I shall come again!" He stepped backward as he finished. She sprang after him, but he had closed the door and slid Into the night. When she looked out he was neither to be seen nor heard. She stood a momentJn the open doorway, striving to quiet the tumult of soul and body. The .weakness of reaction came quick­ ly. The scene rehearsed grew In por­ tent. No fiery courage rose to meet the memory of his threats; yet they grew more dreadful; and the com­ pelling power of his presence re­ mained. A dozen uncertain plans chased one another through her whirl­ ing brain. She would telegraph ■ Al­ fred,. But where? What could she say? She could not send heart trage­ dies over the wires, accuse Gideon be­ forehand of murder! She would write—get Uncle Billy to deliver her letter in person. She wrote u feverish letter, destroyed It, and ■Wrote again; then hastened out to find Uncle Billy. In the kitchen she came upon Sally B.'superintending the extra baking. "Unde Billy? He's snatchln* 40 winks. He didn't go up till a bit ago; be ain't to be disturbed.” She was emphatic. “Say! The raoe begins O. K.! Train'll be here at 2:50 inslid, o' four o'clock! Uncle Billy 'lows he'll git off In four minutes after." “Ob, I must speak to him alone." Stella pleaded; “just a minute, when he comes down. Tell him when you call him. won’t you?”. Another time Sally B. would have heeded the distress In Stella's tone, and questioned her; but she was Im tent on her work, caught in the hour’s excitement, mie gave absent minded assent; and yfAdla crept back to the parlor, where she lowered the lamp and again sat down with her fears. Had Gideon been able to get a seat in Uncle Billy's coach? She would go and see. She opened the door and peered but. The street was deserted. Yet bright, unshaded windows gleam­ ing In art directions; extra lights in the saloon across the way; knots of men r.t the doors; the rattle of chips, the clink of ice and glass, and an oc­ casional voice raised above the sub­ dued murmur that came from Sally rB.'s barroom—all told Stella that the town waited awake for the night's event She stole out, passed the hotel and peeped guiltily into tbe stage office. Only the clerk on duty was within, and he was nodding. Cautiously she approached and looked over the pas­ senger list that lay open on the coun­ ter. Gideon had not booked. Though half stunned by dread and fear, she yet could not face Sally B. again and the busy kitchen. She paced restlessly, stopped to reread her letter and add a penciled word, and went Into the hall to listen for Uncle Billy. Silence. No one was stirring in the house outside of the cook's domain.

STANDARD OIL COMPANY. Back she turned to her nervous tread, counting her steps, mechanicalj ly. Her mind was painfully alert, supersensitive. The half-hour struck. "The clock la surely wrong!” Stella whispered. But the dining-room clock quickly, rang a confirming chime; and the doomful tick, tick, went slowly on. She crept out again to the stage of­ fice* where the clerk no longer co­ quetted with duty In his chair, but lay full length on .the counter, frankly seduced by Morpheus. The passenger list still lay open, and Stella looked. Gideon's name was not there! She wondered why, since his looks even more than hla words told her that he would seek Alfred at once; As she walked back new fears beset her. Why was Gideon.not going on the stage? Could Alfred be already'on his way to Coll#;? Near? Coming now, and Gideon had learned it? A terrify­ ing vision of their meeting shook her; yet quick comfort came with the recol­ lection of Alfred's promised telegram. He would surely keep his word. Ten minutes of two! Ten minutes past—fifteen! A light step came down the stair, and Stella flew into the hall. "Uncle Billy!” she called, softly, and drew him into the parlor. She put her letter in his band, told him of Gideon, breathlessly describing Alfred's dan­ ger. though conc’eaWng Its cause. She did not dream that Uncle Billy guessed it well. He promised to mount guard over Alfred, though he scoffed at her fear, and'declared that Gideon, son of the night, was doubtless alone somewhere fighting out his anger. "Oh, Uncle Billy, you’re such a dear, good father to me." she cried impetu­ ously; and. heedless, did not see the light die In his eyes, recked not of a missed heart-beat. His back was toward the lamp, his face downcast; yet when he lifted it again, he was calm, his voice steady, though Stella caught a vibrant sad­ ness in It ehe could not understand. “Honey, there's something I've lAsen wishing to speak to you about for a month o’ Sundays, but 1 couldn't raise the pluck.*” He stopped, and Stella, so overwrought, grew suddenly ap­ prehensive. though she did not speak.

Then it broke suddenly—a will! All a young heart's dread of death came Into her eyes. Uncle Billy dead! And she profiting by It? It could not be. He surely would live long years still. She could not spare him! The preclplent sorrow, the generous deed, broke down Stella's defenses, and tears flowed uncontrolled while she haltingly told her gratitude. Uncle Billy had barely dried her eyes when Sally B.’s step sounded In the hall. "I'm tn heah, Sally B.," he called, “and all ready.” Before she could turn back from the stairs and enter he drew Stella to. him and kissed her. "Don’t forget my luck posy, honey," he whispered, as Sally B. opened the door.

TREMENDOUS CONFLAGRATION DEVASTATES SUBURB OF BOSTON. Vetoes a Dsm ■ Measure—Announces Policy of Conserving* Natural Resources—House . Makes Progress ■ with the Naval Bill. Washington, Apr. 14.—In a special message Monday vetoing a dam bill, President Roosevelt warned congress that there are pending in this session bills which propose to give away without price stream rights capable of developing 1,300,000 horse-power whose production wculd coat annually 25,000,­ 000 tons of coal; urged in vigorous terms tbe establishment of a policy, such as the filibustering minority in the house demands, which would safe­ guard the granting of bridge and dam privileges and require the grantees to pay for them, and definitely announced a future policy on his part with re­ gard to prompt utilisation of construc­ tion privileges, by .refusing his tigna­ ture to a bill giving an additional three years to the Rainy River Im­ provement company within which to build a dam in tbe Rainy river. "I do not believe," says the presi­ dent, “that natural resources should be granted and held in an undevel­ oped condition either for speculative or other reasons.

STATE RIGHTS IS ■SON'S THEME Progress on Navy Bill. Unlooked-for progress was made by the house Monday in the consideration of the naval appropriation bill. When it was laid aside for the day It had been one-half disposed of and the ad­ vocates of the four battleships prop­ osition were aligning themselves In preparation for the fight on that sub ject. • . The hopes of the officers of the navy and marine corps for an increase in pay were dashed to the ground when, on a point of order by Mr. Madden of Illinois,' there was stricken from the bill the provision for such Increase. On a similar point by Mr. Mudd of Maryland, an amendment by Mr. Bar­ tholdi of Missouri, prohibiting naval or marine bands accepting private em­ ployment in competition with civilian musicians, was lost The brief session of the senate was devoted to the transaction of routine business and the delivery of a speech by Senator Scott of West Virginia, chairman of the committee on build­ ings and grounds. He appealed to the senate to make adequate appro­ priations for public buildings in this cite* bo that official business might be transacted with the greatest efficiency and economy. . Attack Al/rich Bill. The Aldrich financial bill, as passed by the senate, was handled without gloves Monday by speakers before the house committee on banking and currency, which is considering the measure. With the exception of Charles C. Glover, president of the Riggs National bank of this city, none of those who spoke favored the passage at this tim3 of an emergency measure. The sentiment was almost unanimous that if a permanent fir/Ttirial bill cannot become a law now, no attempt should be made to amend the present laws. The speakers who followed Mr. Glover, representing Interests In Minneapolis, Sl Paul, Boston.' New York. Philadelphia and Richmond, Va.. took issue with hls statement that financial conditions have . not im­ proved and said they saw nc signs of an impending panic. One of the sec­ tions moat freely criticised was the La Follette amendment providing that no national banking association shall Invest any part of its funds or depos­ its in the stocks or other securities of any corporation or association, any of the officers or directors of which are officers or directors of such bank­ ing association. The claim was made that this would drive the most desir­ able men of a community out of the directorate of a bank. GEN. B. M. CUTCHEON IS DEAD.

Great Peril in Supreme Court Rulings and Declares That Federal Dictum May Have Taken the Na­ tion Back a Century. Shiloh Battlefield, Tenn., Apr. 11.— That the people must assert their rights to prevent nullification of the constitution and that they must rise above the fallibility of Judicial tri­ bunals was declared here Friday in an address by Gov. John A. Johnson of Minnesota, aspirant for the Demo­ cratic presidential nomination. Tbe monument erected by the state of Min­ nesota in the National park at Shiloh to the memory of the Minnesota sol­ diers who fell on that field was dedi­ cated. Gov. Johnson and his staff, ac■ompanled by a party of 50 prominent men of Minnesota, were present and participated in the dedicatory exer­ cises. Ideal spring weather prevailed. Gov. Johnson Presented. Gen. L. F. Hubbard, chairman of the Minnesota monument commission, pre­ sided. Gov. Johnson spoke in part as follows: "The scheme of government devised by our forefathers was adopted after most mature deliberation and after tbe fullest Investigation, and only when they were convinced that in the distribution of the powers of govern­ ment the rights of the people would be respected. It was founded upon the theory that the right existed In tbe people to make, alter and modify their form of government, and to this end the several states in constitutional convention agreed upon* and adopted a constitution which was the founda­ tion upon which this nation rests. BuL as Washington said, ‘the constitution which at any time exists till changed by an explicit and authentic act of the whole people. Is sacredly obligatory upon all. Peril In Recent Decision. "Recently there has come from the highest Judicial tribunal In tbe land a decision of vital Interest and con­ cern to the American people, because it has established a principle, as stated by one member of the court, which would work a radical change in our governmental system and would in­ augurate a new era In the American judicial system and in the relations of the national and state governments. It would enable the subordinate fed­ eral courts to supervise and control the official action of the states as though they were dependencies or provinces. If this is the result of this decision it is, to my mind, one of the unhappy Incidents in the history of our republic, because the very the­ ory of our government is based upon the right of the states to control abso lutely their own domestic affairs. If. then, our whole system of gov­ ernment Is changed, have we not onl? retarded the progress of the govern ment, but have we not gone back a century toward a centralized form of government which is not to the advan­ tage of the people? tVhat this sovernment needs is not more power. What It needs to-day is so to distrib­ ute the privileges under the govern­ ment that all citizens will have equal' opportunity.” Missouri “Pros." Meet May 6.

Broward Sunday ordered every com­ mand of 'the state militia to- proceed at once to Pensacola. The sounding of the' riot call summoning the three com­ panies here to quarters gave rise to a report that a serious strike riot was In progress at Pensacola but this proved to be a mistake, later ad­ vices showing that: ths electric com­ pany had decided to start cars on its lines Monday and that the troops had' been called out as a measure of pre­ caution, as further trouble Is feared. The following order was received late Sunday afternoon from AdjL Gen. Clifford R. Foster from Tallahassee: "Assemble companies A, D, and F, immediately and proceed by afternoon train to Pensacola, thete reporting to Col. Lollies on arrival. Take every available man; heavy marching order; 20 rounds multiple ball cartridges per maa. Commutation of rations al­ lowed for trip and If possible take field ranges.

At 6:30 o’clock 170 men and the gatllng gun detachment left for Pensacola. A special from Live Oak stated that the Suwanee guards, the Tallahassee.

A terrific gale from the northwest carried burning shin­ gles. embers and myriads of sparks co a score of wooden buildings, most of them of cheap wooden construction. Tbe fire started almost in the extreme southwest section of the city and cut a path to the end of Maverick street at the extreme southeastern end of the city, which borders on Chelsea creek. This is about one and a half miles from where the fire-began. The flames spread through the heart of the retail, business section,’ which was about midway between the two ex­ treme limits reached by the fire. Among the structures destroyed were 13 churches, two hospitals, the public library, city hall, five school buildings, 20 business blocks, nearly a score of factories and upwards of 300 tenements and dwelling houses.

WIIdem, Nothing but Gm Engines Charlotte, Mich One door east of Tribttno ofSco For Gcverjnor—Cassius L. Glasgow of Nashville. This is the “harmony” ticket ad­ vanced by a prominent Republican from the southwestern part of the state who was in the city yesterday. ‘‘Glasgow wou(dheal every sore, and bring the party together instead of disrupting it,” said the man. Tbe speaker was one of tbe best known Republican politicians in the state. He is friendly to Governor Warner because of past favors, which is one reason he would not stand for the use of his name in the interview. Could the name be used, it would be recognized by every politician in Mich­ igan as that of a man who works all the time for the success of tbe Repub­ lican party. “No other man in the state would draw the strength Glasgow could com­ mand,” he continued “He would fall heir naturally to all of Warner’s strength, find would get support that 'Warner could not touch. “Mind you, I don’t know that ha is a candidate. 1 mention his name only as one who would make an. ideal candi­ date at this time. I don’t Believe he’d get in the race unless Warner was out, and here is the opportunity for Warner to do a very graceful thing, and a thing that will do more to re­ store party harmony than any other. ‘‘If he’d withdraw in Glasgow's favor Glasgow would probably run. Otherwise he wouldn’t-, of course. “It would be a victory for Warner, for by the, election of Glasgow the slate would get all the things for which Warner has fought for four years. Glasgow has always been a friend of Warner and an advocate of the War­ ner policies. “At the same time, many of those who have opposed Warner could with easy grace fall in line and support Glasgow. He has done nothing to make himself obnoxious to the antiWaroer wing of the party, and is on friendly terms with many of them. “Besides, as founder and first presi­ dent of the Retail Implement Dealers' association, he has a business acquaintunci? that, added to his political ac­ quaintance, would carry him a long ways. . “Glasgow has served two terms in the senate, in the last of which he was practically lieutenant governor of the state, being president pro tem of the senate during Lieutenant Governer Maitland's long absences. He was al­ ways a primary reform man and has always been one of the governer*s friends. ”• Then the speaker went on to point out some of -the advantages that would accrue, according to him. to the party. “Such an action by Governer War­ ner would go far toward making party success more certain this fall. It hardly seems possible that .the slate will go Democratic, and yet stranger things have happened. Many of War­ ner’s enemies won't vote for him in the primaries and might continue their animosities to the polls if War­ ner is nominated. If they do it will certainly endanger the success of many county tickets, and might do harm to the state. “I take it for granted that Governer Warned has ambitions for the future, and if so, such a course as I have out­ lined would help him immensely. “For instance, with a man practical­ ly of his selection as governer, War­ ner would stand a much better show of being selected United States senator if his ambition lies that way, in 1911, than he would if he were to become governer for another term himself.” The above appeared in the Grand Rapids Herald of last Friday morning. COUNCIL GRINDINGS. All members were present at the meeting of the common council oflbe village last Monday night and a large grist of business was turned out. John Ackett was given the customary building permit. A petition with forty-seven signers was presented asking that a curfew ordinance be passed. The petition was sprung on the council so suddenly that it was taken off its feet and the matter was referred to the committee an imormation. Some of the memliers express­ ed themselves as not being in favor of such an ordinance, taking the stand that it costs money to put ordinances on the village ordinance book and that unless they were shown to be of some benefit there was no use of pass­ ing them. The matter will probably be brought up again at a ^future meet­ ing. Tbe president made the following appointments which were confirmed: Marshal and fire warden—James Traxler. Street commissioner—Wm. Wood­ ard. Park commissioner—C. M. Putnam. Cemetery trustee—A. R. Wolcott. Health officer—Dr. W. C. Kitchen. Board of review—E. C. 'Swift and Daniel Garlinger. Water commissloner-^-Frank Rus­ sell. Henry C. Zuschnitt was elected presi­ dent protem of tbe council. The special assessment committee to assess sprinkler tax for the coming year was appointed by tbe president, and consists of the following: C. M. Putnam, L. E. Lent* and Von w. Fur­ niss. The street committee was instructed to receive bids for cleaning the streets and also to look into the matter of buying a sprinkler and receiving bids on the season’s sprinkling. It la the opinion of the members of the council that the village should own its own sprinkler wagon. It cost fifteen dollars a week last year to have tiu streets sprinkled, and Chas. Ackett, who owns the sprinkler, has sprung the price this year to a week, which price they figure will do the work and give the balance of the man’s and team’s work to the village, The following communication from P. T. Golgrove explains itself, and is in answer to correct rumors as to his position with reference to tbe validity and legalitv of the step# taken to adopt ii in Barry county. This com­ munication will, we are sure, be of much interest to our readers; v Hartings, Mich.. April 10. 1908. A ctatemeuthax been vigorously circulated that for a fixed considera­ tion I have signified my willingness to. attempt the setting aside of the ex­ pressed will of the people on the local option question, and that in my judg­ ment tbe proceeding had and taken are irregular and void and will rot stand tbe test of the courts. How such a story as this could be­ come current I am at a loss to know. There is absolutely no foundation for it. Long ago I refused employment, evidently from the people who are re­ sponsible for the circulation of this rumor. My position upon this ques­ tion has been consistent from begin­ ning to end, and I am humiliated to hear that a statement of this charac­ ter should be current. I have had my attention called during the last few days to some supposed irregularities and this had led to a more full exami­ nation of the entire proceedings as well asanexaminatlon of the decisions of the courts touching .the various questions to which my attention was called. I have no hesitation in stating as my opinion that the proceedings of the Board of Supervisors are regular and that any irregularities preceding the resolution or declaration of the Board of Supervisors are cured. I do not hesitate to further state that in my judgment Jhat4proceedings since the passage of the resolution of the Board of Supervisors are regular and that the law has been complied with and that any attempt to set aside the will of the people as expressed last Mon­ day will tie futile. All of which is respectfully sub­ mitted.

Ttye body of Salathal Mather, who was drowned in the river here onSunday,- March 29. was found last Mon­ day afternoon by Seth Graham, who has kept up an untiring search since the drowning. Young Graham was in a boat coming up the river and atu point in the river nearly straight west of tile Wolcott house, where the river makes a bend and runs east, he dis­ covered the body lying face downward in only about a foot of water add partly covered by sand. He at once gave the alarm and in a few minutes the river bank, in that vicinity .was covered with people curious to get a look at the lifeless liody. It was carried to the undertaking rooms of J. Lentz & Sons where the body was prepared for burial. Justice Hecox empannelled a jury consisting of W. H. Burd, H. D. Wotring. J. F. Be­ ment, F. A. Wertz, Frank McDerby and F. M. Weber, who viewed the remains at the undertaking estab­ lishment and met at the office of the justice at seven o’clock to complete the inquest. Three witnesses were sworn. Travis S urine, who was in tbe^ioat with the drowned man when it was overturned, Seth Graham, who found the body and Orin Mather, father of the boy, who witnessed the drowning. The testimony gave the detail of the drowning substantially the same as was given in The News' at the time of the drowning, and the ver­ dict of the jury was to the effect that the deceased came to his death by acci­ dental drowning in Thornapple river. The funeral was held at the Metho­ dist church yesterday afternoon, Rev C. W. Lyman of^ciating. The re­ mains were interred in Lakeview cemetery. When found the heavy hip rubber boots were missing and no trace of them has as yet been found. It Is thought that the body had not been there very long, for sand bar on which it was lying was thoroughly gone .over several times since the accident, and the fact that the boots were missing lends credence to the belief that many hold that the body had been lodged in some of the many driftwoods in tbe river before it reaches the point where it was found and that the raking given the bottom Sunday loosened it and it floated to where it was found, Sunday night. A rope was used in dragging the river, and it was almost impossible to tell if it did strike anything, and in all probability this is a true solution of how the body got onto the sand bar. His watch, taken from his pocket, showed to have stopped at a little after five o’clock, therefore it must have run over an hour after he was drowned. He carried insurance in the Glean­ ers insure nee branch, in the sum of five hundred dollars, running to an uncle.

It was a sensational climax to a sensa­ tional case. Mrs. Welch was found beaten to death tn her rooms on Janu­ ary 7. Bowin was suspected, traced to his home in WoddvHle, and brought back here. After several days in the sweat box Bowin Anally admitted his guilt and made a detailed confession I of how he killed the old woman and stole and pawned her diamonds. The confession, signed by Bowin, was placed In evidence. Then Bowin took the stand and repudiated it absolutely, saying that Capt. McDonnell Induced him to make it by talking of tbe strong case agalLst him and promising to help him to a pardbn later. This the captain and other officers denied absolutely. Tbe police offered a great deal of evidence to conArm the state­ ments in Bowin's confession. Grief Brings Insanity. Letting Ge AB Holds.

Los Angeles. Cal., Apr. 20.—Sunday night for the first time since leaving Hampton roads, the battleships of the Atlantic fleet were separated. In four harbors, a few miles apart, they lie at anchor in divisions of four and these positions they will maintain until next Saturday morning, when the 16 fighting craft, again united un­ der the flag of Admiral Thomas, will get under way for Santa Barbara, the next port of welcome. The division of the fleet was ac­ complished at six o'clock Sunday morning, but even at that early hour the shores of Ban Pedro harbor and the hills overlooking were well cov’’ ered with spectators eager to witness the maneuvers of the warship*. Dividing the Fleet. While the crowds ashore watched, suddenly the signals began to fly and within a few minutes, the second di­ vision, led by Its flagship, the Georgia, steamed slowly out of line and pro­ ceeded, three miles across the harbor to a point opposite Long Beach. Tbe third and fourth divisions rounded Point Firm! for a long cruise to San Pedro, the four ships led by the flag­ ship Maine proceeding to anchorage In the jnost sheltered portion of Santa Monica bay, and the fourth division, with the Alabama leading, dropping out of the column to anchor a few hundred yards off the pier at Redondp. At an early hour the steam and eTfectrie roads were transporting thousands of visitors to -all four -ports, and as the day advanced, the overcrowded beach cities sent their surplus thou­ sands of people' along the stretches of sandy beaches out and along tho piers, and along the hills that command tho best views of the vessels at'anchor. Visitors Swarm Over Vessels. In the afternoon visitors ' wore re­ ceived on board and after that time the people surged about the boat land­ ings and the bays were dotted with tiny craft laden to the limit of safety with men, women and children who struggled to be first aboard the big fighting machines. A striking feature of the service in each of the big churches of Los An­ geles was the presence of squads of sailors in uniform, who were without exception given places in front pews and to whom In nearly every instance, the clergymen addressed a portion of the Easter sermon. Throughout the next few days and while officers and men of the fleet are participating in the round of banquets, balls and other forms of entertain­ ment devised by various committees, the people of southern California will be welcomed aboard the battleships and each night there will be a repeti­ tion of Saturday night's splendid il­ luminations.

Harlan and William E. Valk. Both testified to having been paid large sums of money for expediting land deals and for divulging informa­ tion about boundaries of proposed for­ est reserves. It is said that Harlan and Valx were granted immunity to testify as to-essential facts in the al­ leged scheme to acquire lands in Cali­ fornia and Oregon. Harlan said he was chief of the special service division of ttje general land office from 1897 until 1908. He told of the circumstances under which he first met John A. Ben­ son. The latter told him he was Inter­ ested In forest land selections and wanted them to go through without de­ lay. Harlan told Benson it would be lecessary to see Valk. who was in charge of the forestry division. Har­ lan told Valk about the conversation and Valk saw Benson. Harlan agreed with Benson to push the land selec­ tions through for 15 cents an acre. Harlan said he received a letter con­ taining >100. He thought he gave Valk part of IL Subsequently he received another letter containing >100, and part of this, he said, was handed over to Valk. Harlan and Valk bad a dis­ pute and Valk refused to expedite cases. Witness said he saw Benson again October 3. 1899, and arranged to transact the business direct through Benson. The money was sent to Har­ lan by mall. Harlan testified that he sent Benson maps of sections of land in California with tho lines of the proposed forest reserves clearly marked. For this work Harlan received >100. On another occasion Harlan -wrote Benson that he had information which would be worth >500. This "tip" was that the secretary and attorney gen­ eral of the interior department and the commissioner of the general land of­ fice had agreed to an extension of the boundaries of the forest reserves in the California'bills. Benson came back wjih a reply that Har’an was “too slow" and that he bad received that "tip" previously. Tiflis. Apr.

Thaw will sign the applica­ tion for a writ of habeas corpus, which will then be submitted to a justice of the supreme court, probably Justice Morschauser. Then Thaw will appear before a justice of the supreme court for a hearing to determine whether he should be released from the asylum as sane.

The dressmaker’s best effort is spoiled by a pool cornet, or one not adapted to the wearer. The J. C. C. line has models suited to every type of figure. Tbe-cutting and fitting are so carefully done that there is rarely a woman whose figure does not conform cosily to J. C. C. lines. One' point we wish to emphasize is that tho J. C. C. Co rants give youthful llnoo. J The J. C. C. "Peerless” and “College Girl” are the very best corsets to be found anywhere. Either one or tbe other of these corset* will suit tbe average figure to perfection. Tbe “Peerless” id a medium high bust, curved hips and straight fr..pt line The “College Girl” moulds tbe hips beautifully, but is low-busted, affording perfect freedom above tbe waist. The price is 95 cento.

In the Nllgirl hills of southern India there dwells a race of men, the Todas, who devote the whole of their career to the worship of the cow or, to be precise, of the buffalo. Their most sacred temple Is a cow house, and the whole life of the people Is gov­ erned-by the most rigid observance of the routine of dairy work, every de­ tail of which is performed with the most elaborate ritual. They, alone can perform the duties of milking and but­ ter making who have been duly conse­ crated for this work by fasting and the performance of mysterious rites. Representing the only priesthood, they are compelled after their Initia­ tion for the rest of their days to play the role of the dairyman. The lesser priests may marry, but the high priest must be celibate, at least for a given period of years. Polyandry Is the fam­ ily rule, but divorce is unknown.

PHYSICIANS DISCUSS NEW THEORY Cooper’s Views of Human Stomach Noted by Medical Men. A recent article in the New Orleans Item gives an account of tbe effect upon the medical profession of that city with regard to L. T. Coopetfff the­ ory that the human stomach isfresponslble for most ill health. TheNtrUcie is as follows: “The astonishing sale of Cooper's preparation in this city has now reach­ ed such Immense figures that the medi­ cal fraternity have been forced into open discussion of the man’s theories and medicines. “The physicians seem to be divided with regard to the young man's suc­ cess, in New Orleans—some being will­ ing to credit him for what he has ac­ complished, while others assert that the interest he has aroused is but a passing fad that will die out as quickiy as it has sprung up. “In a statement recently obtained from a well-known physician of this city, the position of those in favor of Cooper »s well voiced. The doctor said: 'I am not a believer In proprietary medicines, but I must admit that some of tbe facts recently brought to myr attention concerning this Cooper medi­ cine have gone far toward removing tho prejudice I had formed against! them when I first heard of Cooper's new ideas and medicines. “ ‘Numbers o^ my patients whom I have treated for chronic liver, kidney and stomach troubles have met me and stated that Cooper's medicine has ac­ complished wonderful results for them. I notice particularly in cases of stomach trouble that the man, haa relieved several cases that were of years' standing and proved very ob­ stinate to treatment “ 'I do not wish to stand in the way of something that may be for the pub­ lic good, simply through professional prejudice, and I am inclined to give Cooper and hls preparations credit as deserving to some extent the popular demonstration that has been accorded, them in Chis city.’ ” We sell the Cooper medicines. They are proving remarkably successful throughout tho entire United States. —C. H Brown. . We have a large quantity of old papers on : hand. They are large, clean and whole, tied up 25 in a bundle.

The supply of water for Amsterdam and The Hague is collected from sand dunes bordering on the sea. In tbe dunes near Harlem, where they have a width of nearly two and a half miles, the summits are 20 -to 23 feet above the sea level. The quantity of rain water percolating to the ground-water streams is estimated at 1.19 inches per annum. From Amsterdam the water is collected in open canals, which are never excavated below sea level. For The Hague ft 1s collected in stoneware pipes in a bed of shells laid at a depth of 13 feet below sea level. Harlem is beginning to build wells 50 to 60 feet below sea level to collect water. As fresh water Is found at such depth under the dunes, while tbe water at the same depth in the immediate neighborhood is salt, it is thought that the hydraulic pressure of the dune water prevents sea Impreg­ nation The water contains much iron In solution sod for this reason, as well as for other reasons, la filtered at the throe places mentioned btfure being pumped into the mains.

As from a pestilence, she fled to bur own corridor again, hesitating be- tore her door. But vanquished by thought ot the desolation within, she dropped tha key in her pocket and began walktag the narrow hall, darker, OttpUer than her room, but open at either end to human approach. Here the hall boy found her, bringing a message from Uncle Billy to meet him la the parlor. Stella thought of it a little resentful­ ly as she hurried on, recalling the in­ hospitable occupants. But they were gone; and at sight of Uncle Billy's cheery face she forgot they had ever He came to her with outstretched bhnds. "As I told you, honey,* Via­ east's O. K.

"Oh?** The-long-drawn exclamation was all of Stella's reply; and be hoped she would ask no questions. “Youmust shut those sweet peepehs of yo's sharp afteh suppeh; get right smart of sleep to-night, fo' you must start home early in the- mawnlng." "Gideon—where do you suppose ho to,' Uncle Billy?" He had dreaded the words. "Honey, why do you pesteh yo'self about Gid­ won? Jf Vincent's doing business with anotheh man, both of them C.

"Good-byeT‘ she echoed wonderingly. "Aren’t you going to stay here to-night? Take me in to supper.” He winced before her steady eyes, and lied heroically. "I have a heap to do beta' I’ll be ready for the trip home; and I won't have time to see you again, Eat a good suppeh, child, won't you? Have yon money to pay for itr "Not a two-bit piece, Uncle Billy. You pay for me. won’t you? And book me, too? I’ll have It for you when we get home." She was surprised by his silence and nervousness. He opened his purse quickly, and forced some money upon her, his embarrassment Increasing as ho looked furtively through each open door while pressing her hand shut ©ver the coin. "Take that," he whlspered."You must pay yo' own bills, and book yo'self, honey. Don’t ask me why!" he added as she opened her lips to speak. Instantly he Was gone, leaving her to puzzle out the matter for herself. But the need for dissembling her re­ lations with Uncle Billy, whom she had known longer than any one living nave Gideon, did not flawn upon her. Supper alone was less an ordeal than she had expected. On her return to her room she met the hall boy and ordered pen and paper. She had bare­ ly seated herself to write when a dis­ patch interrupted her; it was addrersed to William Dodge, and was from Alfred at Carson City. “Am de­ tained here. Will be in Colfax on the thirtieth." In the reaction of relief she wrote a short, almost happy letter to Alfred, sending it to post by the han boy. The next day they faced homeward. No other passenger shared the box seat with Stella; and leisurely, a little shy!y, she told Uncle Billy, of her plans for Baking Powder KSest by Teat -school, and received Bia advice, heart­ felt, if not always wise. At Dutch Flat she stopped to visit an acquaintance, timing her homo­ going for Uncle Billy’s next trip, hop­ ing vainly that Alfred would be with him. It was indeed a home-coming! Days only she had been away; they seemed weeks. Bally B., Viola, Tie Wah. even tEVdog, greeted her overpoweringly, Suddenly she realized with a heart-wrench her leaving it would be. “Here's a letter for you," Sally B. .said, when Stella was at last free. "It. came yesterday." She took it, but paled with quick fear when she saw the strange hand­ writing. She hastened to her room. There was neither date, address, nor signature; but the message was cruel. "Stella Anthony: Alfred Vincent's life is in your hands. Sehd to the ad­ dress below within one week after October 30 your written word that you will marry Gideon Ingram, and Vincent shall go free. Refuse to do this and he shall die. Return this let­ ter with your answer, or It will not avail." In the postscript were directions for address; but Stella did not read them. She thrust the sinister sheet out of sight in her pocket; yet the words burned in her brain, written there for­ ever. Motionless, she gazed at the wall in a useless endeavor to think. ' Darkness fell. Still she stood there, leaning against the .wall now, though she had no memory of moving. A step caught her ear. She started up, in­ tent on defending herself against in­ terruption. The Chinese boy's harsh voice came through the door telling her that Alvin waited in the parlor to say good-bye. She went Into the parlor. Alvin, a man in years, yet ever tbe buoyant boy, sprang forward hands to greet her. "Oh. Miss Stella, the 60 miles are done! Done 'pun honor, too.

P. a mite; they've got more men coming on the sly. I’m going to my Sacramento office in the morning. I came to say good— Why, Miss Stella! What's the matter?" His exuberance was a tonic. Stella's numb heart began to beat a little color to her lips, hope to her soul. Yet she 'did not speak, though she smiled. "What Is IL Miss Stella?" Alvin re­ peated. “You look as if you’d died and comeback, though not all of you. There’s awful things In—your face!” "And In my heart, too, Alvin. Oh, Alvin, 1—” She grew cold again, and was silent Tactful Alvin ssdd nothing, but push­ ing a chair behind her-xpressed her gently into IL He did not release her hand, but stroked It softly, waiting for her to speak. Suddenly she started up. This was the thirtieth, and—a week, the letter had said* And she did nut know Dow far the answer was to go. Precious time had already been wasted. It was ages since she read those awful words. She must do something, tell some one, get help. Alvin! He was the one. She put the letter in bls hand. "Read it, quick!” she com­ manded. He compiled, starting at the first words, then reading on quietly, through the postscript directions, and ending with a careful scrutiny of the en­ velope. Stella watched him anxiously, wondering, even in her preoccupation, at the maturity and wisdom that came into his face at emergency's call. "Oh, Alvin, there must be some way beside—beside obeying. 1How can I do that? Yet how can I. be Alfred o— mur—murderer?” She1 shuddered at the word. "Perhaps this is only some enemy of Gideon's to get him into trouble." “Oh, no,” Stella answered, remem­ bering the last look she had seen in Gideon's face. "I'm sure it—I'm sure Gideon knovfls of IL” “Oh. pshaw, Miss Stella! Gid Ing­ ram wouldn't do suA a scurvy trick." "Alvin, you don’t know. He has tried to make me marry him. He's crazy with Jealousy.

About 350 Are Killed—Hundreds of Oth­ ers Are Injured-r-Most pf the Vic­ tims Negroes—-Great Damage Dons to Property. Atlanta, Ga, Apr. 25.—A wind of cyclonic proportions swept over por­ tions of Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama lata Friday, leaving a trail of dead and injured. The number of killed is estimated at close to 350 and the number of injured at over 1.200, with many portions of the afflicted districts to. hear from. Most of the dead are negroes. Per­ haps a dozen white persons were caught in falling buildings and either fatally injured or so seriously disabled as to require medical attention. The loss of life was chiefly in the quarters of colored persons, where the wind destroyed their cabins, burying the occupants in the debris, or in the farming sections of the country, whose trees were uprooted, telegraph and telephone poles torn up and general destruction was wrought Many Small Towns Wrecked. In Louisiana it is estimated that a score of small towns were destroyed or partially wrecked. Tney Inelude Amite City, Arcadia and independence.- Belle Grove, Melton. Lormaa, Landing, FalrPine Ridge, Quitman _ childs .Creek, Purvis and Lumberton, Miss., are reported seriously damaged by the storm. In Alabama, Dora was the chief sufferer.

As soon as a practical man sees Amatite, he reeognlww its superiority. The practical roofing buyer realizes, in the first place, that he can judge a roof's wearing qualities pretty well by tbe weight of it to the square foot. A thin, flimsy fabric can not possibly wear so-long as a thick, heavy one. Amatite weighs twice as much as other roofings of its price, and is tough and . strong and reliable. ’ While we could say this in our adver­ BARX AT PARK RIDGE, N. J.

The message arrived late in the day and the house was so tied up under its new rules that It could not officially receive the message, while the senate was in the midst of the consideration oh the naval appropriation bill under the ten-mlnute rule when the docu­ ment' reached that body.

The process of injunction in labor disputes, as well as where state laws are Involved, should be used sparingly, and odly when there is the clearest necessity for it; but It Is one so necessary to the efficient performance of duty by the court on behalf of the nation that ft is in the highest degree to be re­ gretted that It should be liable to reck­ less use; for this reckless use tends to make honest men desire so to ham­ per Its execution as to destroy its use­ fulness.

It is positively the only practical and law in demanded upon both moral and safe system. economic grounds. Our purpose In strengthening It Is to secure more ef­ fective control of the national govern­ ment over the business use of the vast masses of individual, and especially Ice Cream Soda and ------ CURE— of corporate, wealth, which at the pres­ ent time monopolize most of' the in­ terstate business of the country; and we believe the control can best be exercise/1 by preventing the growth of abuses, rather than merely by trying to destroy them when they have al­ ready grown. In the highest sense of the word this movement for thorough control of the business use of..this great wealth is conservative. We are trying to steer a safe middle course, which alone can save us from a pluto­ cratic class government on the one band, or a socialistic class goveru-. ment on the other, either of whl'Jh would be fraught with disaster to our free institutions, state and national. We are trying to avoid alike the evils which would flow from government ownership of the public utilities by which Interstate commerce Is chiefly carried on, and the evils- which flow from the riot and chaos of unrestrict­ ed Individualism. There Is grave danger to our free Institutions In the corrupting influence exercised by great wealth suddenly concentrated In the hands of the few.

Need National Incorporation. No. Judicial tribunal has the knowl­ edge or experience to determine tn the first place whether a given combina­ tion is advisable or necessary In the Interest of the public. Some body, whether a commission, or a bureau under the department of commerce and labor, should be given this power. My personal belief Is that ultimately we shall have to adopt a national In­ corporation law, though I am well aware Chat this may be Impossible at present. Over the actions of the ex­ ecutive body In which the power is placed the courts should possess mere­ ly a power of review analogous to that obtaining in connection with the work of the Interstate commerce commis­ sion at present. To confer tills power would not be a leap in the dark; it would merely be to carry still further the theory of effective governmental control of corporations, which was re­ sponsible for the creation of the Inter­ state commerce commission and for the enlargement of Its powers, and for the creation of the bureau of corpora­ tions.

The man who preaches hatred of wealth honestly acquired, who Inculcates envy and jealousy and slanderous 111 will toward those of his fellows why by thrift, energy and In­ dustry have become men of means. Is a menace to the community. But his counterpart in evil Is to be found in that particular kind of multimillionaire who is almost the least enviable, and is certainly one of the least admirable, of all our citizens; a man of whom It has’ been well said that his face has grown hard and cruel while his body, has grown soft> whose son Is a fool and his daughter a foreign prin­ cess; whose nominal pleasures are at best those of tasteless and extrava­ gant luxury, and whose real delight whose real life work.

In the chaos of an absolutely unrestricted commercial Individualism under mod­ ern conditions, this is a type that be­ comes prominent as Inevitably as the marauder baron became prominent In the physical chaos of the dark ages. We are striving for legislation to min­ imize the abuses which give this type Its flourishing prominence, partly for the sake of what can be accomplished by the legislation Itself, and partly because the legislation marks our par­ ticipation In a great and stern moral movement to bring our idnals and our conduct Into measurable are-ord.

Less of Fertility by Leaching. Land kept constantly as a garden loses much of its fertility by leaching. A clover rotation is the best preventive of this. There should be at least two or three garden spots on each farm kept rich enough so that one year's extra manuring will bring it Into the finest possible condition for garden truck. If farmers could always plant gardens on two-year clover sod they would raise better crops and with less stable manure and other fertilisers than they now require. The clover does much more than furnish green manure to ferment in the soil. Its roots reach down into the subsoil, thus not only saving and bringing to the sur­ face plant food that would otherwise be wasted, but also by enlivening the subsoil, allowing the.roots of crops to go deeper. Oiover sod to begin with. If well enriched, is best for such crops as cucumbers and melons, that aro always most liable to suffer from drought. It Is quite impossible to make a good garden crop, unless the land has previously been enriched by a series of heavy manuring*!. The fer­ tility lost by leaching mast be con­ stantly renewed.

There is only one way to cure deaf­ ness, and that is by constitutional remed'es. Deafness is caused by an in­ flamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian tube. When this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, Deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube re­ stored to its normal condition, bear­ ing will be destroyed forever: nine cases out of ten are caused by tatarrh, which is nothing but an in­ flamed condition of the mucous sur­ faces.

Warship Gladiator and the American Linar St. Paul Collide Off the .lale of Wight—Splendid Discipline of FIRE SALVAGE - AND GENERAL SALE the Bluejackets. Portsmouth, Apr. 27.—The AinerTcffi line steamer St. Paul and the British cruiser Gladiator were in collision Saturday afternoon off the / Isle of Wight A Heavy snowstorm was raging at the time. The Gladiator was badly damaged and has been beached. Her crew took to the boats, but 28 of the men aro dead oj- missing. Five Known to Be Dead. The admiralty late Sunday night is­ sued a revised list of tbe names of the Gladiator victims, which includes an additional death in the hospital, bring­ ing the total of deaths known up to five. Twenty-tbree men are missing according -to the list, and six are suf­ fering severe injuries. The secretary of the admiralty expresses fear that there are still xeight others missing. ’ but is unable to give tho names as . Could Not Be Avoided. Tbe opinion among shipping men and naval officers and officials appears to be unanimous that the accident was unavoidable, being one of tbe chances ot the sea which all seamen must risk. There will be the usual naval court and an inquiry by the' board ot trade. The officers of both ships refuse to discuss the affair until they have given their testimony officially. All witnesses of the disaster agree prac­ tically that both crews behaved as well as possible. Coming %o soon after the loss of the iorpedo boat destroyer Tiger, which was sunk by the cruiser Berwick off the Isle of Wight on April 3 last, 36 men being drowned, the sinking of the Gladiator is a severe blow to tbe Brit­ ish navy.. ! Story of a Passenger. Southampton. Apr. 27.—Interesting details concerning the collision be­ tween the St Paul and the cruiser Gladiator were told by various of the passengers on the liner. J. T. Hillis of London, speaking of the delay 'in lowering boats frop the St Paul, Mid: >-• "In response to our offer of as­ sistance, the captain of tbe Gladiator replied that it was not needed. That accounts for the fact that some time —it seemed to me about 20 minutes, elapsed—after the collision before the Bt. Paul’s boats were put In the water. At that.time the' cruiser was turning turtle. Some of the bluejackets on board of her cried ‘Lower your boats.' As the vessel heeled over we could see the bluejackets climbing to the uppermost side and those who failed to get bold slipped Into the water. "Tbe discipline on the Gladiator was magnificent. We could see every man at his post, there wrs no excitement on either ship. One would have thought that it was moving picture instead of a real disaster." 8t. Paul Badly Damaged. The passengers on the St. Paul, who acted so cooly during the trying few minutes following the collision, could hardly have realized the danger In which they stood. They were assured by the officers who hurried among them directly the boats cape together, that there was no danger, but the condition of the steamer's bows, dis­ closed as she lies at the dock, shows that she had a narrow escape from meeting the same fate os the Gladiator. As it was the St. Paul was more seri­ ously damaged than at first -supposed. She shipped a great quantity of water through her broken plates and from the moment she backed away from the wrecked cruiser until she reached her wharf all her pumps were kept going to their full capacity. The damaged bows of the St. Paul Indicate that she forced her nose at least 20 feet through the cruiser's side, but fortunately the greatest dam­ age she received was above the water­ line. BIG BRIDGE IS BLOWN UP. • New Structure et Fall River Partly Destroyed by Dynamite. Fall River, Mass.. Apr. 27.—The new Bristol county steel bridge, which is to connect this city and the town of Somerset across the Taunton river, was badly damaged by a mysterious explosion of dynamite early Sunday. The bridge is being built for the county at a cost of $750,000, and was to have been completed in two months. It is estimated that the loss to the contractors will reach $15,000 by the explosion. .The contractors, who began the work on the bridge a year or more ago, are Holbrook. Cabot & Rollins of Bos­ ton. They employ nonunion workmen. The same firm has suffered three pre­ vious attempts to wreck bridges con­ structed by them in Baltimore, Phila­ delphia and the Bronx borough in New Tort Two Old Washington Ians Die.

The law provides that nom­ inating petitions may be signed only by a certain proportion of the party voters, and makes it an offense to se­ cure aa excessive number of signa­ tures. Some time ago, Earle sent out blank petitions to friends throughout the state. “You ought to see ’em," said Earle. "Why, they're coming in so fast that, I'm really afraid I shall have too many and will lay myself Hable to Imprisonment for ex­ ceeding the number of signatures re­ quired. I am thinking of putting an advertisement In the papers telling my friends not to send any more." Bradley Club Formed.

Tbe rural comedy which is to appear at the Nashville opera house Wednes­ day, May 13, entitled “Si Plunkard” is a graphic and amusing picture of real life and characterization. Mr. Lewis in the title role brings plenty of humor to his part and creates a great deal of amusement. The dear little children, the Irish neighbor, the bogus stock speculator, the honest old farm­ er, and Si’s pretty sister are all-well sustained characters. There is- a deal that is novel in the play. The farm scene with the little children at play and its threshing machine at work, never fails to capture the audi­ ence. Many clever specialties are in­ troduced bv a big company of come­ dians which goes to make up an eve­ ning’s entertainment of fun from start to finish.

He lifted her hand from hla arm and kissed It reverently. "Alfred, dear, I understand. Be­ cause you've been so long from things you need, have missed things, perhaps, that f don't know of. my sympathy has undone you. Some other time, when no guests are coming, forget that I'm not your own mother and tell me all your heart Meantime, brighten up. Tks very dearest of my many girls is to be here to-night I've been wishing you might meet her. She’s a beauti­ ful woman, a heroine, too—Miss AdAlfred started, and bls Ups stralghteaed Instantly. "Stella Anthony?" he aaked thickly. "No, Esther Anthony." Mrs. Harmon answered, noting his agitation. “She's not one you'd take the liberty of nick­ naming. Sit down, Alfred, and let me “Stella Anthony?" He Asked Thickly, spite of attempted control, his words trembled with eagerness as he pushed forward a chair for Mrs. Harmon, and seated himself opposite her. • “Ob. no! She's queenly 'tall, but slender; an elegant figure." . Alfred winced at Mrs. Harmon’s im­ plied mental vfsloa of Stella.' “Her complexion is—certainly net rosy; yet she has a lovely color, what one might, perhaps, call warmly pale. Her hair is wonderful. All the smooth­ ing and pulling of the horrid fashion cannot banish the wave from. It. Dark brown it is. almost black at night. In the sun it lias rusty tints, shining threads? I'm sure you never knew her. She's just back frem Vassar and •’ from abroad." "And where had she lived before that?" Alfred asked, eager yet, though hope was dying. “Here in San Francisco. Oh. yes; out of town at the resorts in summer. I first met her two years ago last May In Calistoga. You mustn't think less of her, Alfred—she waited at our table." "A waitress? And Vassar? I don't ■understand." “No, of course not It would take days to tell-the strange and fine things I know of her. We both fell in love with her, the judge and myself. She was working her way through school.” “Yes,” Alfred answered absently. "She has an exceptional mind. The judge was very greatly interested in her.” "I begin to see how Miss Anthony accomplished Vassar. She—" “But you don’t see. She's not a protegee, but one of the richest wom­ en !n the city; and quite the -j-age, though she returned less than a month Alfred's hope glimmered away to ob­ livion. Hla heart had sung Stella's name through all the conversation; yet nothing of this woman's life or looks tallied with Stella. Still, if she were Stella—oh. If she were Stella! "All the judge did was to manage her mining property," Mrs. Harmon went, "mines she had owned for years but supposed worthless. So they were until the railroad made the valley of the Humboldt accessible." “That was fortunate for her. Has she finished school?" “Yes, graduated with honors last spring. You should have taken her in to dinner if I had known you were coming; but I've promised her to Mr. Montague. She's—” “Hello Vincent! Here you are, mak­ ing love to my wife again! Beginning right where you left off three years ago, I suppose, you young scamp!” The judge rolled in, fat, puffing and red with the exertion of hasty dress­ ing; yet a man whose leonine head $1,000.00 For Any Substance Injurious to Health Found In Calumet Baking Powder “Bost By Test” Tb, 0.1, High GrMa Bakin, P.wb.r Seld at a Moderate Price.

Let me change it," Mrs. Harmon in­ terrupted, rising to adjust the knot under the fat, shaven chin, giving it a tender pat or two for a finsh. "I do wish you'd get you a man; or—let mo help you.” "A man!" be snorted. "When 1 can’t dress myself to suit you. madam. I’ll resign! Blast all this toggery, any­ how. Spike-tall coats, dinner In the middle of the night— Don't marry, Vincent, or you’ll be tied for life to just such petticoat tyranny ” J “I’ve been accustomed to It in my youth, sir, all except dinner at night; that’s new to meT' "It’s the proper time to dine—at the close of the day—the only time; when there’s leisure for guests, enjoyment and dlgeslton. As for 'petticoat' tyran­ ny," Mrs. Harmon smiled indulgently, "what would the judge.*! social position be with no wife to manage him? Why, he’d go with one pump and a boot to a ball! In a dressing-gown, too, per­ haps, If some sane person didn't look after him." The judge flung her a merry re­ joinder and turned kind eyes to Al­ fred. "Mother, the boy's grown!" Why the judge called his wife "moth­ er" was' a mystery to their friends. The more observant noticed that he used the name only when moved; seers read In it undying regret for the son that came but never breathed. “Yes, it’s true, judge,” Alfred ac­ knowledged. "In spite of hardship and roughing It I’ve laid on flesh.” • The bell rang. "There are the rest of the diners! Come'on, Vincent, Into the den with me. There'll be time for a good talk before the madam’s train and Toy are ready for dining-room conjunction. I want to hear by eye-witness from the Front." The two went into a large rear room overlooking the Bay, the Golden Gate, Saucellto straggling down the Marin county hills to the shbre, Tamalpals and all thd rest of the blue and goldenbrown panorama unrolled before them in eternal beauty. Alfred declined cigars, but the Judge smoked serenely, quite indifferent to the nearing dinner hour. "Tell me, how's the iron horse race coming on out there in the sage-brush? Crocker and Gregory getting In on the last heat?" _■ "Yes. sir; they’re making fair time.” Alfred replied. "They expected to be at Salt Lake City in the spring, but they've had to change the route, you know, to the north end of the lake." "Yes; on account of the great swamps, they said. Was that neces­ sary? It cuts out a pile of good ter­ ritory.” . "They decided It was necessary. The detour would carry the road far out of line, and take too long. Our company has already lapped the Union Pacific grade; still, it Is uphill work; they can't build as fast as they ought." "The refusal of the government to accept that 100 miles of Union Pacific road will delay them; I'm glad of that." “But it hasn't. Those people sre rushing right along, regardless of Uncle Sam's disapproval.” "Our. folks surprised those U. P. chaps some, I expect, when we caught up with their west section of grade. What possessed the Union Pacific peo­ ple to begin grading as far west as Humboldt Wells? They’re poor cal­ culators.” “There's a secret about that, sir. Did Mr. Crocker never tell you of Mr. Gregory's understudy?” "Understudy? What of him?" ' "Last autumn, when our people were pegging along near Winnemucca, a stranger came to Gregory wishing to study railroading at Its latest and best; said he was contemplating an Oregon enterprise; completely fooled the old -man.” "Fooled Gregory!” The judged laugh shook him as a craft tossed by a high wind. "Yes, sir. The fellow was a U. P. spy. He went back by way of San Francisco and the Isthmus, and told his people we couldn't get to Salt Lake before ’71. You should have heard Gregory's remarks. Good for indigestion." “But how came the spy to be so out of reckoning?" asked the judge, grin­ ning appreciatively. "Based his calculations on the Pal­ isade tunnel. That would have taken a good year." "And our folks changed their minds and walked around IL Bully! What does Gregory say now?" “Oh, that’s history ,to him. He’s busy driving his white men and Chinese like a modern Pharaoh. *• "By hokey! It waa iuclpr for us, that brag Durrant made.” ' 7 'Durrant?" Alfred questioned ab­ sently. His mind was wandering with Stella in the past, her memory vividly aroused by Mrs. Harmon’s description of her protegee. “Yes. Didn’t you hear of It? Vice­ President Durrant of the Union Pacific telegraphed Stanford this: 'If we jay any track on your grading we'll pay you for your grading. If you lay any on ours we won't charge you a cent.’ Well get them on that deal." . "Yes, sir; and it's lucky for us that ownership terminates where the Iron meets instead of where the grades meet." "Iron! That’s the keynote. I wish we could act on Gregory's ’•Uh and Alfred nodded, but was silent. Toy. velvet-footed, and exquisite In ’Mlssee Har'mon likee see Judge, ■Mlstee Vlncen’ In palah," he said softly. The judge rose slowly and flipped the cigar ashes from his coat. "Good1 bye, comfort Come on, boy. She's the general, you know.” In the parlor Alfred was barely* in­ troduced to the other guests when through the hall archway Miss An­ thony appeared. He stopped in the middle of a speech and stared open­ mouthed. It.was Stella! He took a quick step forward, but halted. This was not his Stella. She dwelt only In memory. In the far, fra­ grant mountains. His long, fruitless search for her flashed upon him, his months, years of longing. Surely she had not wished to be found. He looked again at the stately woman before him. No, no; this was not his Stella. Esther’s entrance had immediately focussed attontidn. Alfred was glad that his perturbation bad thus gone unnoticed. He took shelter behind a pillar and covertly followed her move­ ments. She was taller , than before? he thought; and she. carried herself regal­ ly. Her gown was white; -and save the crimson rose drooping from her hair, the rich dress was relieved only by a string of priceless pearls, the most beautiful Alfred had ever seen. Guests went forward to meet her, till she was encircled. Turning this way and that to make her replies, Al­ fred fancied she sent a fleeting glance his way. But before there was time for further speculation, dinner was announced; and In the slight confusion of finding partners, Esther, passing, looked at him without recognition. - CHAPTER XXIV. Behind Her Mask. Alfred sat at Mrs. Harmon's left, Esther at the left of the host. She thus had- opportunity to study him leisurely. Hie face had been the first she saw on entering the parlor, her eyes drawn, perhaps, by his Intense gaze. His quick movement toward her, his sudden halt, the step behind the pillar, she hud noticed every mo­ tion; had believed then that her own unresponsive look bad caused that withdrawal. Between perfunctory replies to Mr. Montague Esther -recalled the weeks of suspense after Bight, when she had waited in vain for some news of Al­ fred’s safety; the meager newspaper notice of bis long illness in the hos­ pital; the search he had made for her by way of letters that she had asked Sally B. to return unopened. How she had longed to read them! After that the printed personals, the detect­ ive she had ?o hardly escaped—would the dear Father forgive her many equivocations? Oh, Alfred had been tlrelss. His love, then, was true. There followed in her mind fleeting, half­ formed pictures of those after days of ceaseless toll, long nights of study. Would she have survived if Mrs. Har­ mon had not found her? "Speaking of stocks, the wildest plunger on the board is Bernard," the Judge said, some one having brought up the topic. The name arrested Esther's atten­ tion. "I don't know how much he has be­ hind him,” the judge continued. "I'm told they live as if it was a good chunk. It'll have to be, if it stands the calls he makes on It.” "Isn't he lucky?” Esther asked with quick Interest. "Sometimes." The Judge's tone left , her solicitous. "He's a rough old galoot." Mr. Mon­ tague said; "but genuine for all that.” "His daughter’s a thoroughbred, if he isn’t,” Phlneas Cadwallader as­ serted. “She's not their own daughter,” the judge's dinner partner exclaimed posi­ tively. "She can't be. She hasn't a trait like either of them.” "Oh, but she is, though, and -a mighty pretty girl, whoever she's like,” the Judge said, shooting a sly glance at his wife. “That's why my wife won’t ask her here." “Nonsense. Judge! You know I have a reason. That's none at all. As if the young men would let you claim at­ tention from that lovely Miss Money­ bags!" "Oh, but she's lovely aside from her money," Amabel said sweetly. “I know she is; yet what of her mother?” “Why, she’s the most amusing Mrs. Malaprop outside of a Sheridan com­ edy. Good as gold, Joo," Amabel replled "True," Mrs. Harmon rejoined. "She’s too good for guests of mine to fleer at. And I won't insult the moth­ er by inviting Miss Viola alone.” "You see? Isn’t she cunning?” the judge-queried with assumed solemnity.; “She always, has a virtuous reason for curtailing my pleasures." "The Sacramento Clarion made an extra severe case against the Central Pacific in yesterday's editorial,” Mr. Montague said in a lull In the talk. •'That's nothing new. I didn’t see It, though. What was it?" The judge's tone was brusque. “The paper arraigned the company for refusing to receive and carry merchants* freight; declared that President Johnson would not, and should not. issue bonds to the com­ pany till their methods and business were thoroughly Investigated; de­ clared also that the company was com- thing! And the Union Pacific coming west like—well. two-forty!” He down the table at bi? wife. "Tba Dvrabie shoiild be their proud friends fighting ’em, Injun fashion, In the back! The last outrage is the Goat Island propo­ sition. It's the very spot tor a term­ inus, but these blooming chumps are going to beat the company out of IL Worse yet. this alty refuses them land for their depots. "The company has more than It can do to move Its own material. It's a wonder they won't stop work to haul gold watches and silk stockings to Nevada, now, ain't It? Getting rich at the expense of others, are they? It strikes-me the Big Four have come nearer creating their own wealth thou anybody) just built it out of God's own capital, pluck and unpreempted terra firms!" "Do you know why the Clarion bates the Central Pacific generally, and Gov. Stanford specifically?" Phineaa ques­ tioned of the judge. Judge Harmon shook his head non­ committally; but Mr. Montague hasaded a guess. “Because the company's figure isn’t high enough?" “You’re away off there, Montague,” the judge -interposed. "AU the-money in the Nevada bank couldn't buy Nor­ ris or Bevins. They have no price.” “I think they did havfe," Phlneas said quietly. “Hey?'r The judge looked up sharp­ ly. “By Jove! Cad's got a story. Out with IL man. Earn your dinner!" “Some years ago," Phlneas began after a slight hesitation, *.'I worked In. the Clarion office long enough to learn something of the two men who do as much to shape Issues in this state, per­ haps, as any other two living. Do you think I'm right. Judge?” “You're not so far wrong as I wish you were, Cad." "Rnever say any one who could flip the ivory and the pasteboard to beat Norris, or Bevins,- either; or any two who could look niooe like preachers when they were at it. But once in their editorial rooms they changed coats, and the paper stands, as it has always stood, for the best side of life." "Till they turned against the rail­ road." Mr. Montague interrupted. Phlneas nodded and went on. "You know, the Clarion was solid for the company from the first day's work clear up to the time when success ap­ peared ceratln; then the paper sud­ denly became the company's worst enemy. One day, not long after the first mountain 50 miles had been ac­ cepted, I was in the Clarion office cor­ recting proof for some company print­ ing when I beard the two editors and the governor enter the outer office. They were in earnest conversation, but it never occurred to me to let them know of my presence—I was only a cog in the machine to them—till I had heard so much I bad to keep still.

May 2 —The Atlan­ tic fleet of battleships steamed In here Friday to give Monterey peninsula a place In the history of the American navy's ■ record-breaking cruise around tbe world. The residents of Monterey and Pacific Grove and all the other settlements of ths vicinity made the occasion of the arrival a holiday. Th^y lined the water front when tbe fleet dropped anchor at six o'clock in - the morning and lingered long to view the beautiful marine spectacle of the 16 ships drawn up in divisional for­ mation—four Hues of four ships each with the flagship Connecticut, Oeorgia, Alabama and Missouri at tbe heads of the column. A great variety, of entertainments ashore, both for the men and the offi­ cers of the fleet, marked tbe first day of the battleships' stay and the visit of the squadrons promises to be a thoroughly enjoyable one, - Entry at Frisco to Be Fine. New oradrs were Issued covering the entry of the fleet through the Golden Gate into San Francisco bay on Wednesday next The revised plans provide for the most picturesque naval display in the history of the na­ tion. It is now ordered, that all of the vessels of the Pacific fleet shall join the Atlantic battleships outside tbe Golden Gate and steam with them through the harbor entrance to the anchorage in the bay where the review of the navy is to be held. Practically the entire fighting force of the navy, with the exception of a few newlycommissioned ships in tbe east and a few gunboats in Philippine waters, will be in the great column of white and buff vessels that thread their way between the headlands of the gateway —Point Bonita on the north and Point Lobos on the south. Forty-six vessels will be in line and the long column will stretch as far out to sea as the eye can see. Tbe va­ riety of fighting craft will range from the massive 16,000-ton Connecticut down to the little destroyer Fox of only 154 tons. Battleships, armored cruisers, protected cruisers, gunboats, destroyers, torpedo boats and auxil­ iaries—in fact every class of vessel in the navy save the obsolete monitors— will be represented in this remarkable parade through the famous port entry. Disaster Narrowly Averted. Monterey., Cal., • May 4.—A north­ west gale sweeping into the harbor gave the eight ships of the second di­ vision of the Atlantic fleet several hours of watchfulness Saturday night and cut off all communication with the shore. A serious accident was nar­ rowly averted when the battleship Illi­ nois. second In line from the Alabama, flagship of Key Admiral Sperry, part­ ed her ancbor^chain lb the height of the blow and went drifting toward the shore. The Illinois headed directly for the Alabama and It looked for a time as though a collision was Imminent. But the helmsman managed to steer the dlftlng ship away and the only damage done was tho tearing away of the port gangway of the Alabama. The Illinois drifted fully 800 yards before her emergency anchors, sent spinning into the white-capped waters, finallyheld fast. Entire Fleet Reunited. Santa Cruz, Cal., May 5.—The At­ lantic battleship fleet was united once more Monday when the ships of the second squadron arrived from Monterey and the flotilla of six de­ stroyers joined it from San Pedro, the latter after one of the stormiest voy­ ages of the cruise. The second squadron headed by the Alabama, flying the flag of Rear Ad­ miral Sperry, came across Monterey bay, leaving at 5:30 in the afternoon. The flotilla came in at 1:30. Admiral Thomas at night moved from the Con­ necticut to the Minnesota, although his flag of senior rear admiral still flies at the main truck of the former. The Connecticut proceeded to Mon­ terey at 6:30 In the morning to take on board Admiral Evans, who returns to resume active command of the fleet. The flagship will return at once to Santa Cruz. Fort Wayne, Ind., May 4.—Eleven persona are known to be dead, several are missing and a dozen persons are seriously injured as the result of a Are that wiped out the New Aveline hotel early Sunday morning. . The known dead are: Frank C. Bax­ ter. Auburn, Ind., attorney: Miss May Burkett, Mishawaka, Ind., nurse at the Mishawaka Orphans’ home; J. W. Devlney, Camden, N. J., 43 years old, chief traveling representative of Craw­ ford & Lehman, poultry dealers of Philadelphia; E. J. Ellis, Chicago, salesman for Carson, Plrle, Scott & Co.; Sarah Hathaway, Mishawaka.

Minn., 36 year* old, traveling salesman for Bowser company of Fort Wayne; body.of unidentified man. consisting only of trunk and head al­ most burned off; unidentified body of man. so badly biirned as to be practi­ cally unrecognizable. Two Known to Be Missing. The only persons known to be miss­ ing are Charles Benjamin, a salesman, of Detroit, and Herman Seligman, of New York. Coroner Kesler has begun an in­ quiry into the fire and summoned as witnesses all persons connected with the hotel and all guests remaining in the city. It Is practically established that the fire started In the boiler room in the basement. The timbers leading from the engine room, which were uncov­ ered by the firemen, show the path­ way of the flames to the elevator shaft. Bodie* In Mtn of Wreckage. The complete destruction of the in­ terior of the hotel makes the work of recovering bodies a task of great difficulty. A confused heap of charred wood, bricks and twisted girders is piled up between the bare walls to the second story. Piece by piece thi* must be removed before the roll of the dead can be completed. Some of the bodies taken out are mangled and charred beyond recognition and the work of Identification Is In these cases a task almost baffling. Infantry company D and battery B of the National Guard are on duty and aiding the fire and police force* to clear away the debris. ‘Night Clerk Save* Many. The fire was discovered at 3:20 In the morning in the elevator shaft by Night Clerk Ralph Hopkins. He rushed to the upper Coors, alarming the guests, until the flames, which had ipread with appalling rapidity, drove Mm back. His efforts, however, saved many lives. The hotel was erected half a century ago and the woodwork was dry as tinder. It burned like matchwood and witfyin a few minutes from the time the fire was discovered the whole Interior of the hotel was a. mass of flames that filled the corridors snd rooms with suffocating clouds of »moke and laid flery barriers across ill means of escape save by tbe winlow*. . • The fire department rescued many by means of ladders, but some, tren­ ded by the onward rush of the flames, leaped from high windows to the caved streeL . Man Leaps and la Killed. R. 0. Johnson of Pana, Ilf., jumped from the fifth story. His body struck i balcony and bounded far Into the ,treet He was a crushed and bleed­ ing mass when picked up, and died a ihort time later in SL Joseph's hos­ pital. As the fury of the flames Increased, men and women were seen in the win­ Tows of their rooms, where they wild­ ly Implored help. Some did not wait for the efforts of the firemen and leaped to the streeL Several were seriously injured In this way. Those who got from their rooms before the flames cut off their retreat were able to make their way to the fire escape and so were saved with comparative ease. Soon the flames broke from th* windows and curled about the fire­ escape*. Some of the more hardy ones braved the flames and made their way through smoke and fire down tbe iron stairways. Some Thrilling Escape*. There were many thrilling escapes. Claude H. Varnell of the Fort Wayne baseball team, his sister, Mrs. John endrlcks, and John Hendricks of Chi­ cago. manager of the Fort Wayne team, together with Master Hendricks, aged five years, barely escaped with their lives. Varnell lost all his per­ sonal belongings valued at several thousand dollars. Hendricks, with his wife ahead of him and his boy in his arms, was descending the fire eacape from the fifth floor. At the third floor the Are broke out below them. He swung Mrs. Hendricks over the railing and she dropped to the platform of the story below. He then dropped his ■on into the waiting arms of his wife and all made their way to the ground. Other rescue* a* thrilling and escape* a* narrow were numerous. ii COMPLETE^ORTUGAL PROBE MAY ADOPT THE VREELAND Bill NO PROSECUTIONS FOR KILLING KING CARLOS.

Climate of Emerald Isle Seems to Strengthen Strain. The history of heroes, especially cf thoroughbreds. goes to prove that parts of Ireland and Australia are the very best cradles for horse breeding In either Europe or elsewhere, with England aa the second beat, perhaps the equal. The suggestion has been thrown out that tbe secret lies in a time subsoil. The reason tor the sup­ position is a little obscure. The pres­ ent writer has found that partridge* bred on such soil are heavier and stronger and. It seems, fly faster than others; but it is hardly an analogy that can be applied to the horse. There are other curious aaagolles. It has long been noticed that the best high jumpers among human athletes, even when the scene of their feats Is America, are of Irish descent It is not less certain that the best jumpers among horses, especially a large per­ centage at Continental concours, de­ rive their origin from Ireland, with Australia and England as occasional rivals. From tbe statistics emerges strong presumptive evidence that the climate even more than tbe breeding skill tends to strengthen the strain.— London Outlook. ETIQUETTE OF THE PUNCH. Matter That Is Sometimes a Difficult Thing to .Decide. To punch or not to punch is one cf the most difficult questions In life. There is an etiquette of punching, but it does not always help a man much when tbe contingency arises and be is forced to decide on the spur of the moment whether he will or not. When tbe He !a given* or certain opprobious epithets are personally applied ellquette calls for a punch. This Is sup­ posed to be the Irreducible minimum of punching, without the use of which no man. can go through life holding his head erect. Beyond this irreducible minimum a man may suit his taste, bis disposition and his temper in the use of his fist, within certain limits, without violating the proprieties or incurring disapproval as a bully. There are many opitional punches, so to speak, on which the world looks with approval besides these two compul­ sory punches. The punch chivalrous, for instance, the weapon of modern knight errantry, in defense of the dis­ tressed maids and matrons Is of the optional but approved sort. Compensation. When Wilson Hobart married Hetty Lewis there were many people who predicted domestic troubles, even tragedies, but they, were mistaken, says tbe Youth’s Companion. The Ho­ barts were to all appearances, an un­ usually happy couple. "I reckon Hetty must have learned to keep her tem­ per better than she used to," remark­ ed one person, to whom this state of affairs was inexplicable. "You don’t look a bit Older than the day you were married, Wilson." "I dor’t know as she has,” said Mr. Hobart, with a slow smile. ”1 tell her I guess she's got enough on hand to last her: she needn't save atiy to accommodate me. And I can tell you.” he added, with enthusiasm, "It would take more than any temper ever I saw to sour Hetty's bread or her cream pies!" * Tortoise Shell.

If be expects to bold snd Increase the soil's fertility, rendering it fit for cultiva­ tion. it is necessary that he should know of what It Is made. Knowing that he can intelligently add to or subtract from the ingredients in which It Is deficient, or with which it super­ abounds. A fertile soil is one of. apparently good texture, or peats, containing sul­ phate of iron, or any acid matter; and yet such a soil can be remedied by a top dressing with lime, which converts the sulphate into manure. By tbe ap­ plication of sand or clay, says the Epltomlst, a soil in which there is an excess of limey matter can be im proved. A dressing of clay, marl or vegetable matter will likewise benefit a soil that is too abundant in sand Peat will improve light soils and feat will be Improved by a dressing of sand, though the former In the course of nature is but a temporary improve­ ment. Solis which are loose in their tex­ ture, neither so light as to become readily dry, nor so heavy that they will get too wet in rainy weather, are the most fertile. Tbe amount of nitro­ gen in the soil largely determines its fertility. This nitrogen is stored up only by previous generations of plants. The most fertile field can sooner or later be brought' to a state of exhaus­ tion by severe cropping, in which more nitrogen is removed from the soil In the crop than is formed and stored up in the soil during the same period.

VOLUME XXXV -- > . , - ---------------- ------ "small depositors b - There are several reasons why the Farmers and Merchants Bank welcomes small depositors and considers it a matter of good business policy to give equal attention to small and large accounts. In the first place, most of our large depositors started as small depositors. We have bad the pleasure of seeing many small ac­ counts grow steadily over a period of years and are glad -to say that we have helped our customers to increase their business and deposits. So far as the bank is concerned it is just as satisfactory to have several small accounts aggregating the same as one larger one because, although there is more book keeping involved that is more than offset by the possibilities of developement of three dif­ ferent accounts besides the advertising value to the bank of three satisfied customers. The officers of this bank will be glad to talk overbanking relations with you at any time and pledge themselves to serve you faithfully when you intrust your business to this bank. We pay 4% interest on savings accounts, the interest is com­ pounded quarterly. Start an account to-day OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS: 0. A. TRUMAN............................... PRESIDENT C. W.

Hl show you everything; him an’ the kitchen with the rest" She led the way, trailing her black skirts over tbe rich carpets from room to room, holding her head high and showing off her possessions with pleased pride. The house wis large and in perfect taste. The former own­ ers had failed suddenly and sold to the first bidder, walking out with only their clothing. The two' women halted in the library; and Esther looked cu­ riously along the tows of books, 'most of them standard autnors, and bound to order, with the owner's monogram on the cover. She wondered what part they played in Sally B.'s present life. "Have you read any of them?" she asked, glancing at the shelves. A tired look crept into Bally B.'s face. “I’ve got to the sixth book on the fourth row from the top. 1 reckon it’ll take about two year—years. Vi likes ’em. but I don't—leastways, not much of IL” Esther refrained from comment, though her heart ached for the heroic woman, “ft's too bad about the mono­ gram. L.

I don't b'long there, but VI does, an’ I’m going to boost her if money an’ work can do it.” She was leading tbe way to-the ballroom at the top of the house, a beautiful, spacious apartment overlooking Lake Merritt and the Berkeley hills. "I'm sure you’re succeeding," Esther said as they sat near an open window. She wondered if it was wise to encour­ age Sally B.'s Impossible ambitions. "Yes; that is. VI is. She gits invited into the ginulne, bong tong set. where the men wears opery hats an* gold­ headed canes, an* the women's all ladles." "Does Viola enjoy it?” Sally ‘B.’s face sobered instantly. "1 don’t know. Vi’s changed some. She was always quiet; now she's deep. 1 can’t make her out. She goes a heap, always does tbe right thing, wears her clo’es like a queen, she does.

But it’s tbe proper caper, an* I go the hull -thing, you know.” . . Esther asked Sally B. how she liked her fellow parishioners. ’’’Tain’t no matter how I like them. What 1-ve started to do Is to make them like me. But It’s no go. They’ll take to VI, an* to my money; but they’ll never smaller me.” "How do you know?” "Oh, they eat my dinners; say they’re splendlficenL An’ they invite me to their’n.

"There’s one piece of work they let me run my own way, an’ 1 like it; that’s looking after the poor. Some way, I can understand them folks; tell_whether it’s grub or a boost o’ the sperlt they need most. 1 s’pose we’re •right smart happier with folks that needs us. That’s why 1 ain’t—well, not exactly hilarious with the big •bugs; they don’t need nothin’ I got— except my daughter.” Esther sighed. Did any one in all the world need her? “How does Mr. Bernard like the new home?” she asked, stepping across the room for another view of the beautiful grounds. “Oh, like me. bang up. Yet what you're raised to don’t git out erf the blood in a minute. An' I know Bill dreams at night of the mountains an* the mines, 'cause be hollers out in his sleep about ’em.’’ She was busy bringing from hook and shelf and drawer a billowy flood of heterogeneous finery. Her tongue voiced a new mood; and Esther, not without sympathy for the “big bugs," recognized Sally B.’a company man­ ner. "This, here is made by Worth of Parce. I hope it will be worth as much to me as it was to him. Ain’t it orfay? And here's one that's just I magnif! I brought them all over my­ self—wore 'em all first to save duty. My!

She went in and out of the closet once or twice with­ out speaking, and Esther waited. Her sentences had been tossed by gusts of emotion; now speech was entirely wrecked. While she strug­ gled for calmness Viola entered. "Oh. Stella! Esther!" Viola’s arms went round the other girl impulsively and she burst into tears. “What under the canopy are ye cry­ ing for?" her mother asked; yet she knew; and her own tears were hardly restrained. "Oh. ma. It's so good to see her! Bhe belongs to the old. honest time when we said what we thought, or kept ■till.” The mother winced. Viola's unus­ ual emotion disclosed unwelcome facts.

Practically every Able-bodied resi­ dent of thia city made tbe trip and the railroad* and trolley lines brought about 4.000 more to the city. Mayor Darrow found it necessary to .Issue stringent orders that the Sun­ day closing laws should be enforced, and the’ hotels and restaurants were overrun with patrons. Practically every conveyance in the town was pressed into service in an attempt to •provide transportation for tbe crowds. In the afternoon these proved insuffb dent and late-comers were forced to make their way to the place on foot. Crowd* on All Train*. Tbe crowd* began arriving in La­ porte when the first train* from the east arrived shortly after five o'clock in the morning. Nearly 100 passengers from Elkhart,- Mlshawka,, South Bend. New Carlisle.

Another large crowd came from In­ dianapolis and the intervening cities, villages and hamlets on an excursion train over the Lake Erie & .Western railroad. Picnic* on Grewsome Spot Joke and laughing comment on the antecedents of tbe farm were heard on every side and exclamations of joy from successful relic-hunters were numerous. Finally picnic parties grouped themselves on the sloping lawn under the fine pines and cedars which dot tbe dooryard, or found rest­ ing place* beneath the flowering apple and plum trees of the orchard. Along tbe roadside in front of the farm were several lemonade stands and lunch wagons. At the gates were vendors of souvenir postal cards, those bearing a group picture of Mrs. Gunness and th* three little ones who met death with her finding the read­ iest sale., A baseball park in the vi­ cinity was represented by strong­ voiced barkers, who Indicated to the jaded sightseer* the place for fresh entertainment. .

You gain many business advantag­ es by dealing with this bank Weave now situated in a part of the country that is little heard of _ tbe east, and a country that is just beferinning to be developed, strictly speaking, for there is lots of country* out here that is yet new. Many people who come west get into tbe large cities and, judge the rest of the country by conditions adjacent to these cities. In this way they can get as good an idea of the country in general as could be'had by judging the great state of Michigan by the great sand dunes along the lakes. Going out from most tbe great California cities you will come to country that is .fit for nothing but to help fill up tbe world, but to go a little beyond one will find the most fertile fields in the world waiting for' the march of progress to turn them into garden spots of the world. This is true in coming out*of : San Diego. This city is a most beautiful city nestling under the foot-hills on one of the beat harbors of the Pacific, and unlike some of the other cities of Southern California shows a real eastern hustfe. The city is beautiful, with its wealth of flowers, palm, beauiful* buildings and, the ever present warm sunshine, but it has the one. draw-bW:k of all the coast country, and that is the dense fog. Coming east from San Diego one will pass .through some of the worst country ' in the world and it will seem that there is nothing beyond that is better, but only a few miles farther and the most beau­ tiful country in the world is stretched out before ychir gaze, and it is in this country that we are now situated. Fallbrook is our stopping, place. It is a little hairnet, quite similar to the many little places in Michigan, and it has the appearance of thrift that many of these little places in the later state have not. The people seem to have plenty of money and there is little that would lead to think that tho people are not prosperous. They should be -prosperous for no better land ever laid out doors, and crops are abundant. We are high and yet the ground is moist, there being plenty of rain, and I do not think that I ever saw things grok- as fast as they do here. You can almost hear the garden truck crack the ground as it comes through. I - have a piece of corn that is more than knee high now. Have just finished harvesting one crop of hay and another will be.rea-dy soon. The old ’ settlers here tell me that they have never had a bad season when crops failed, but that it has always been the same. The soil is what’ is called decayed granite. It works up nicely and after a rain it glistens in the sunlight and is a pretty sight. There are no farms here, they are all ranches, and no mutter how small a piece of ground is. even if there is only ten acres in it, it- is a ranch. The ranches are divided off into tracts of about the same size of those in Mich­ igan and the larger share of them are fruit ranches, yet there is lots of general farming- here. A man from Detroit who lives near us, has an olive grove of thirty acres, and he told me that he cleared up a thous­ and dollars on it last season, and would do better than that this year. Olives are a great crop here, yet there are a lot lemons raised. The latter grow abundantly and afford shipping the year around. Some very tine orange groves near here and oranges are cheap. There is a great deal of work connected with raising lemons for they have to be worked all the time, just like cork, to get results, and they require a lot of water, which has to be hauled to the groves. The 'ground has to be plowed three or four times a year besides being cultivated all the time. Olives require a good deal the same attention, with the ex­ ception of the watering. Oranges sell for 35c and 40c a box; a box holds a bushel. Olives from which oil is made «ell for forty dollars a ton. Those that are converted into pickles sell at the orchard for sixty dollars a ton. Grapes are another great crop here and you never know what grapes are unless you have been here ana seen them. There are several large cattle ranches here and some of them are stocked with the finest cattle one ever laid their eyes on As I said before this country is new and there are many good oppertunities for the man who wants to work and make money. I know of several good propositions now where the people have become rich or old and want to move to town, but can’t leave their places, for there are few renters here. In concluding I will say that there is no better climate in the world and there is no better land. All prices are about the same as they are in Mich­ igan and there seems to be a good de­ mand for everything raised on a farm. Tbe large cities consume great quan­ tities of the garden truck and fruit, and of all the latter there is great amount of it shiped to the east where it graces the pine boxes in front of the Dago stores, and is sold to the people at prices that would make the ‘‘haoldores” of this country open their eyes, yet there is little goes to waste here for the fact that there is a good demand for it in other places where fortune does not favor with the soil and the climate to raise them. We are within a few miles of the Mexico line and the festive “Greaser” is seen here some, but the country is becoming too prosperous for him and be will either have to go or take to work. Game of a good many kinds abound here. There are a lot of quail here but they are not like the ones there. They are smaller than the ones in the east. There are wild cats galore in tbe foot hills. Well, we will let this suffice for this time and try and give another story of tbe west in our next. John L. Weber.

There is more Catarrh in this sec­ tion of tbe country than all other dis­ eases put together, and until tbe last few years was supposed to be in­ curable. For a great many years doctors pronounced it a local disease and prescrilied local remedies, and by constantly failing to cure with local treatment, pronounced it incurable. Science has proven catarrh to be a constitutional disease and therefore requires constitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney & Co.. Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitutional cure on the market. It is taken internally in doses'from 10 drops to a teaspoonful. It acts directly on the blood and mu.cous surfaces of the system.

Ben Martin had been her acknowl­ edged lover for a long time, and now as she thought of how her heart had gone away from him, a little pang of something like remorse troubled her bosom. Ben stood silently gazing In at the window for several minutes, then he spoke tn a tone of voices more that of command than entreaty. "Polly. I want ye to come out here a minute," he said, "there's something I got to say to you.” When Polly came up to where Ben stood at the edge of the road, the man took her hand. "Polly," he began and his voice wa* full of emotion, "I can see I'm a Iosin' ye, an' it's breakin' my heart, girl.” “What do ye mean, Ben?" "I guess ye know what I mean. Polly. But I want to tell ye. that chip's a skunk, Jest a plain skunk. He perlends to be prospectin' round here for gold—but we all have calelated he's prospectin' for somethin' else. He keeps a nosin' round the core; and to-day he bumped right up agin our still on Booo. Jim Turpin an* Lee Hooper was a watchin* him; an’ the way he sneaked away from there an' took bls bearin’s ax he went was a sight too plain. So we've laid a trap for him, Polly—a trap that will get him if he's what we think he is. but won't get him if he's all right little girl. Bo, If we’re wrong, ye needn't have any oneasiness about him. If ye're wrong. Polly, why—I— Jest wanted to tell ye, girl, that arter all's over I'll still be cornin' back to ye—an' maybe yer love will come back to me.” Ben squeezed her hand onoe and re­ leased it. There was silence a mo­ ment, then the girl said: "I think ye’re wrong, Ben." . "Maybe so, Polly, maybe so. We’ll soon find ouL” Ben strode away and left the girl to return slowly toward the house, wondering what manner of trap the boys had set, though stoutly resisting the fear it might capture Gordon. The evening waned, Gordon's stories grew uninteresting, Blake nodded by the hearth corner and Polly waited for the opportunity to glee the pros­ pector one more warning. So when Gordon arose to go to his room, a low shed room at one end of the veranda, Polly stole to tho doorwky and slipped into the darkness outside. • “I wanted to tell ye agin to be keerful," she whispered, u Gordon paused near her. "Ye've raised suspicions, an'—but 1 can’t tell ye any more. Only be powerful keerful." Gordon laughed softly. "Oh, I’ll be careful, Mttle Polly," he said; “never tear about that" He attempted to take her hand, but MU. Llbble brtMut. steepin’ mighty sound this mornln’,”. said Blake, as he returned to tbe wait­ ing family in the main room. Polly’s heart took fright at once. A hundred things might have happened to Gordon during the night—the meth­ ods of the moonshiners were Inscrutahl*. . ' 1 “Pap, I reckon ye’d better go in an’ wake him," she suggested, “for the meat on the table’s a gettin' cold." With candle In hand Blake went back to Gordon’s door, opened It and peered inside. “Why, by. the livin’!’’ be exclaimed, “this bed ain’t been tecbed.** At this moment Polly’s knees quaked, and her fingers clinched to­ gether impulsively. And at this mo ment. too, she bated all her race, all her kind among the mountains, her brothers and their co-partners, Ben Martin and* al! the rest She turned her eye* toward the rafters and al­ lowed a thought of revenge to take shape in her brain. ■ "Well, he's not here,” said Blake, returning; ”eo thar's no use to wait for him. Let’s eat” Polly minced her breakfast, hurried­ ly milked the one-horned cow, cleaned the kitchen things, then stole out over the mountain toward the Horse-Shoe cove on Soco. She knew well the ■pot where the still stood, and she knew the narrow defile through which tbe cove wm accessible. Tbe trail wound like a snake round over the mountains, down into the valley, then along up the creek between the cliffs. Where. the trail ascended, Polly climbed feverishly; where It de­ scended, she ran. In this manner the three miles to the nedk of tbe cove were soon covered and she was speed­ ing along the path to where it crossed tbe bevll’s Sink Hole. • This was a narrow fissure whose mauth was not over six feet wide, and whose great­ est length was not over 2Q feet, yet it opened away Into the earth to a depth of over 40 feet. A narrow bridge, Just the width of the trail, bad spanned the opening, anil when Polly reached the spot this morning she saw that the bridge was no longer there. She ran to the edge of the hole and dropped to her knees. -It required some mo­ ments for her^ gaze to pierce the gloom down <£e, but presently she saw the prospeKor, with disheveled hair and torn clothing, seated at th* bottom of the fissure. Silence reigned throughout the wood and the low sound of Polly's voice when she spoke seemed to echo a mile away. But Gordon had caught the call i)nd he looked up. "Ah. is It you, Polly?” he exclaimed. “.Yes; an' ye didn't listen when I warned ye last night, though I didn’t think about this place when I told ye." "I am a conceited sort of fallow, Polly, sind thought 1 could take care of myself. But I’ve learned a lesson this time sure." "Do ye know what was meant for ye when ye fell into this hole?" "No, Polly; I couldn't guest” "Why, it was meant for ye to per­ ish to death down there, for nobodY ever comes this trail but them, that laid the trap for ye.” "But you have come to help me out, sweetheart?" ■ Polly's heart thrilled at this title of endearment and once more an impulse of hatred for her race wel’ed up In her bosom. “■ •'rhere's a grape rine back here I think's long enough.” She sprang away from the bole and soon returned, bringing with her a long, stout vine, one end of which she lowered into the hols. When Gordon could reach the lower end, the girl made the other end fast to uie roots of a stout shrub near by, and the pros­ pector found it an easy matter to climb out of the hole by means *of the vine and its branches. And when be stood by the side of Polly on ,the Uall above he took her hand and looking into her eyes, said: "Little girl, you have saved my life and when 1 tell her *11 about It, wife will love and praise you to the skies." A flash of sudden flra leaped from Polly’s eyes. She Jericed her hand from Gordon’s clasp and the next In­ stant had give* him a shove that sent him reeling backward toward the Devil's Sink Hole. The prospector was unable to re­ cover his balance, and was poised for a single instant at the edge of the opening ready to shoot downward again, when a strong band suddenly reached out, caught him by the cloth­ ing and pullet him back to safety once more. "If ye've got a wife. >e skunk, go to her! An' don't ye be nosin' 'round these hills again, d’ye hear that?” Tbe speaker was Ben Martin. Gor­ don looked from Ben to the girl, then turned and hurried along the trail that led out of the cove. And long after he was gone from view, silence reigned between Ben and the girl. But at last Polly took a step toward Ben, and the mountaineer, with a full heart, sprang to meet her. "Ben," declared Polly, "yer little finger's worth a world of 'em like him; an' I've jest found out how much I love ye." Ben caught her In hl* arms and kissed her.

Forrest Hager of the same neighbor­ hood lost a sheep which was also in­ sured in the same company. Last Thursday the R.A.E. club had their regular meeting at the residence of Mrs. Menno Wenger. After the meeting the ladies served a threecourse supper to their husbands. The singing and playing by Mn. O. R. Chaffee was greatly enjoyed by all, and the evening was spent playing games. The office rooms of A. E Kidder and E- V. Smith have this week been beautfled by the liberal application of paper, paint and new floor cover­ ings. The “obstructions” have l>een removed from the eptrance and a man of even large proportions (Kidder and Bill Taft included) can get through to the offices without scraping off large chunks of their anatomy. . Miss Mae McKinnis of this village has accepted another term in the Val­ paraiso public schools as teacher of manual training. Her many friends here will be glad to know that Miss McKinnis has made good in her work at this place and wifi lie even better pleased to learn that she has been given a handsome increase in salary. Cole's hotel at Thornapple lake is now open foraocommodation of guests. The blue gills are biting and the bass season opens May 21. Mrs. Cole has made many improvements this spring and tbe accomodations are better than ever before. It is a good place to spend a day, a week or a month away from the cares of business, and the rates are always reasonable. Clifford Tarbell and Miss Stella Hart were married Saturday evening at their new home on Sherman street by Rev. C. W. Lyman of the Holiness church, only the Immediate relatives being present to witness the cere­ mony. They were attended by Mr. and Mrs. Earl Tarbell as grooms­ man and bridesmaid. The young couple have lived in this vicinity nearly all their life and have many friends who extend congratulations. As- an evidence of the wisdom of the common council in purchasing the sprinkler wagon it may be said that the village is eighteen dollars ahead on last week and nearly that thia week, on account of rains. The man and team were kept busfr last week and the greeter part of this week working on the rouds, where it the work had been hired as it was last year, the village-wouid have been out the salary of the man and team with nothing to show for it. The series of sermons .on “Prayer” now being preached Sunday mornings by Rev. C. W. Lyman in the Holiness church are of a highly instructive and interesting character. Last Sunday the subject was “A Cry Godward. ’ and is highly spoken of by those who heard it. Next Sunday Sir. Lyman will speak on “Prayer as an Irresist­ ible Force.” There will lie one more sermon on the theme of prayer follow­ ing next Sunday's discourse, the sub­ ject of which will be announced next week. An Ann Arbor paper, in speaking of the German play, “Minna von Barnhelm,” which was staged in that city recently, has this to say of the work of Miss Grace Baker of this village who took a prominent part in the play: “Miss Grace Baker made a charming Franzika. Not only did she handle her lines clearly . and cleverly, but she possessed a peculiarly winning stage presence. Her first appearance made a decided impression, and the audience applauded her generously throughout the perfor­ mance.” Dr. H. A. Barber of Hastings, a former resident of this village, was arrested Monday on complaint of the sheriff, charged with performing a criminal operation. The charge grows out of the arrest of Grovpr Davenport and wife Saturday night. They live at Cloverdale and on April 12 the wife gave birth to a child which reports said had been murdered by its par­ ents. The officers heard of these rumors last Thursday arid Deputy Sheriff Harry Ritchie wefit to Kalamazoo Saturday night and arrested Mr. and Mrs. Davenport. They were taken to Hastings Sunday aud lodged in iail and from the state­ ment they made it appears the child was born dead and was buried by the husband on a farm near Hastings. The officers took Davenport out to the farm Sunday and an attempt was made to locate the body, but owing to the fact that* it had been buried in a furrow where the land has since been plowed over, the search was unsuccessful. The parents deny that they killed the baby, but admit that an operation was performed by Dr. Barber. The doctor was arraigned before Justice Bates and ga-. a bail. Examination is set for May 19.

Wa had been wanting a land roHar. but had not quite come to the place where we felt that we could spend the money for one out of the store. We bad been spending a great deal tor buildings and felt that to buy a ready­ made roller just at that time would bs more than we could stand. A neighbor who had been longer In the way than we had steppe# to the front with the question, “Why do you not make one yourself? This is what we did. Come up and see ours." And we went up. The result was that we. made a trip to the city and out of an old scrap-heap fished four wheels that had done service on mowing ma­ chines.. They were about the same else, as would be essential in such a case. We also bought a steel rod large enough to fit the holes in the wheels and some rivets three inches in length. Armed with these and a few steel drills the same else as 'the rivets, we went home and^ waiting for a spell of stormy weather, we tackled the job. "I have got you Into the scrape and now Til seb you out.” the neighbor OU can go out in a rainstorm and get a Clothcraft garment wet clean through. It won’t hurt it. The garment is made to stand it. The cloth, the lin­ ing, the canvas, the tape—all are thoroughly and properly shrunk before put into the garment. Every Clothcraft garment is guaranteed to stand this test. If it doesn’t the manufac­ turers of Clothcraft will give you a new garment. help. The first move was to get into the mill a cut of hardwood maple log as long as we wished the roller planks to be. We had them sawed two inches thick and six inches wide. It was not a very hard Job to . drill holes through the rims of the wheel for the rivets which were to hold the planks. Two were provided for each wheel. Small grooves had to be cut In the planks to fit over the eleva­ tions on the outer surfaces of the wheels, designed to keep them from slipping. That was easy. Boring the holes through the ends of the steel rod for the lynchpins was the hardest Job we had. That was slow work, but we accomplished It at last The rod was slipped through the wheels and It began to look quite like a roller. Of. a local wagqpmaker we bought an old mowing machine* tongue. A frame of hardwood scanting four inches square was made to set over the sections of the roller. The pole was bolted to this. Braces were run from the frame part way up the pole to strengthen It $t the turns. A cover was put over tbe sections. An­ other old mowing machine attachment in the form of a seat was bdlted to .the top and the Job was nearly com­ plete. I say "nearly,” for there was one thing more that served to make the roller complete. Naturally the mid­ dle of the roller would be inclined to fall behind a little while In motion, especially when » stone happened to be !n the way. This would bend the shaft and cause the roller to scrape heavily on the frame on top. We went to a blacksmith and bad a hook made of heavy Iron to clasp over the shaft. Thia was furnished with two heavy links like the links of a chain, the whole' being bolted to the frame of the roller. You can sea how this would i(ork. When the shaft bent, the links would straighten out so that tile hook would draw on the shaft, preventing It from scraping on the frame or top. We have used that roller more than a dozen years and it Is all right .now. It cost us about 94.75. Of course tho work we counted as nothing.—Farm­ ers’ Review. In London Town. While shopping in London an Amer­ ican school teacher was very much taken with a pair of beautiful lace cur­ tains. The price of them, however, seemed prohibitive. "Being only a teacher,” she said. "I am not, of course, wealthy, and I fear that I can­ not afford them." "If you will wait a moment," replied the saleswoman, "I will see if I*may give you a reduction on them."

Her face grew gray and dull; while her mother’s was swept by a quick pano­ rama of doubt, question, mother love, ambition.

Was held to silence by the new stern­ ness tn her daughter. And Esther, distressed at the trag­ edy in the girl's face, made her adieus quickly, that Sally B. might not see the angry resentment in her heart. her big brown coil, the feathered end standing high, the pointed shaft shin­ ing just back of her ear. “It's the most beautiful ornament you have. Won't you keep it?" "I tee no way to return it," Esther said, searching wrappers and box for a clew to the sender. "There isn't a word, , a letter—not even the merch­ ant's name on the box. How did it come?" "The Chinaman said a small boy brought it this morning before seven o'clock," Mra. Brockett replied, as she left the room. The trinkets did not interest Esther. She took up her paper instead. At* the first glance she cried out. "Gideon Ingram Anthony—His Ro­ mance!" were the first words »she saw. She stared uncomprebendingly for a moment, then read on feverishly. It was a strange tale, pieced together from many sources, and confirmed by appended Interviews with several ’’old­ est settlers:" "The story of Gideon Ingram, of the well-known freighters, Ingram, Finn A Gould, reads like one of Mrs. South­ worth's novels; yet it is only one of the many dramas resulting from the clash of Latin and Anglo-Saxon In California. "In the early '40s a young New Eng­ land teacher, William Anthony by name, sea-voyagiqg for his health, dropped Into Monterey out of curiosiI ty. and remained, entranced by the ’ climate and bewitched by a pair of beautiful Spanish eyes.

"No wonder you are so sad!" She drew the locket from beneath her dress and gaxed a moment on the pic­ tured face. Alfred's ring still hung on the chain, and she pressed It to her Ups before hiding it again. "Like mother, like child!” she whispered, scornfully. "Both foolish!". With a sigh she took up the paper and read on: “Then came from Sutter’s Fort the cry of ’Gold! gold!'that peopled California and swept away forever the dreamy, pastoral days of hidalgo, fandango and league-long ranchos under Mexican rule. William Anthony came west with the first rush, found and claimed his nephew, mined, traded and grew enormously wealthy; though he lived always in the wilds, visiting cities only as compelled. ■ “On the bleak side of a Washoe mountain he built a palace, the won­ der of the decade; sent for his daugh­ ter, and reared the two children in an Isolated luxury that was the source of many Aladdln-llke tales. But failure came, removal, wandering; and the Anthonys were lost to the world that had known them. Later the father was killed by Indians; and the chil­ dren, by this time man and woman grown, drifted, unknown and unknow­ ing, into the heedless stream of hu­ manity; "The sequel proves that William Anthony never forgave his brother; for the boy grew up as a dependent, called only Gideon Ingram, and never knowing his right to his uncle’s name. Senor Guerrero died some years sgo, willing bls estate'to his grandson and providing for a search for him. Yet It ls4>robable he would have remained undiscovered had not the agents pur­ chasing right of way for the Southern Pacific Railroad company needed bls signature. His identity was discov­ ered some time ago. but his story Is now for the first time made public.” Here followed the Interviews. “My cousin! Oh, he's my cousin!" Like an open book Esther read many things that had puxxled her—ber fa­ ther’s contradictions, his gloom, bls reserves; Gideon, lender, cruel, con­ stant, vengeful; a passion, a flame; conquering, yet ever defeated. Poor Gideon! Esther dreamed over the strange tale till she was reminded of her team, waiting as she had ordered, and restless. "I'll drive at once," she said, and hastily prepared, eager for the out-of-doors, for motion. She was taking up the reins when a card was brought her—Gideon’s. She started back and would not touch It, till penciled words caught her eye. "Stella, I have wronged you; but if you have read the morning paper you know how your father wronged me. Blood makes us cousins.* I must see you a moment, must a little atone." How could she see him? Yet she must. Childhood memories, ’he in­ justice he had suffered, his sorrows, all pleaded for him. Yet not in the narrow closeness of a room. It would be easier out in the open, away from her own house. ’Tell him I’m driving," she said to the maid. "Ask him to step to the front door.” Esther drove around the house to find him standing, bareheaded, on the graveled road. He was haggard and thin, his shoulders stooped, bls eyes gloomy. His clothes were handsome and well made; but they had a bor­ rowed. misfitting look, that was piti­ ful to Esther. He did not speak, but stood waiting, slightly bent, only his somber eyes pleading. “Will you drive with me, Gideon?" she asked quietly. Without a word he put on his hat and stepped in beside her, tucking the robe carefully about her. Every move­ ment had a gentle deprecation foreign to the Gideon she had known. The team was restive, the streets crowded; and she could do no more than drive until a mile or more of hills had taken the first mettle out of her horses. When they were on the road, fol­ lowing the shimmering bay shore around Fort Point to the sea, the plangent waves at their feet, the salt air blowing clean upon them, the vast farness ot blue ocean sweeping away petty thoughts, bringing eternal veri­ ties—there Gideon and Esther found a common meeting ground. Gideon freed her from her promise and would have explained, but she ob­ jected. “It's past, Gideon. Alfred Is safe, welL Let me forget what I know, hear no more." Her heart bounded, yet was leaden again. Freedom had come too late. Alfred no longer loved her. "Yes, one thing I would know. Did Phineas Cadwallader have anything to do with Alfred's—capture?" “No” “What makes him tatq Alfred, then?" "He hates him on more than one score. Vincent knows some important secret of his, and Vincent has also caught Cad in one or two tricks against the company. Cad’s afraid he'll be reported. Besides all this. Cad was the last man seen with Vincent before he disappeared; and if the case is ever investigated Cad’ll have hard work to clear himself." "Were you—? Did any one find out —? Why were you not arrested?" "There was not a scrap of evidence against me. My alibi was perfect” Esther was long silent Gideon looked out to sea, and waited. “Have you told any one?" she asked finally. “You—you had the thing done, if you didn’t do it yourself, didn't you?" . "Yes. And 1—I've told no one—must not" “Must not?*” she questioned wonderingly. She knew he did not lack courage. "Drag you into such a foul compli­ cation—the trial, your heart's secrets exposed, prison! To be sure. I didn't think of that three years ago. Now you are my*cousin—my name yours—" "But justice," she began, as he halted. "Ought respect for a name to stand in the way of that?" "I’ve thought of that But Vincent is free, as well in health as ever; no trouble or disgrace attaches; and he's better off in pocket than If he bad not' suffered from me, for I’ve been able to throw a thing or two bls way. There are the lost years, and—and k you. Do you think at this late day it would please him if I dragged your name before the public? Wouldn't that rather distress him?" “On account of his own name, per­ haps; he cares nothing for mine.” She was thinking of Amabel's face as she had waltxed by her the night before, looking into Alfred’s eyes. “Of course! 1 knew that always,” Gideon said dully, and gazed seaward. On the verafita of the old Cliff house they stopped as does the tourist of to- ■ day to watch the endless flip-flop of wet, glistening seals clambering the gray rocks only to drop into the sea again. The same brilliant, limitless panorama unfolded westward then as to-day—beetling cliffs, the sapphire sky, white, fantastic clouds, twin green promontories guarding the Golden Gate, the misty, enchanted Farallones, the eternal roar of the surf. But na­ ture then was all unsubdued. They lingered a little, both silent, Gideon nearer content than for years. * “Where have you been this long, long time, Gideon?” Esther asked on their way back to the city. “Many places. Twice I went to Poughkeepsie. I saw you, though you didn’t know It; saw that you were well and happy." "Gideon!" Esther exclaimed, aston­ ished. ‘‘I've gridlroned Nevada and Utah deserts looking for gold, and for wagon routes; and have found both. The last few months I've spent between San Francisco and the ranch. I’ve seen you often, Stella." He looked at her wistfully. “Seen me?" "Yes, in theaters, on the street, wherever society notes in-the papers gave me a clew to your goings." "And you never came—never spoke "No. I knew you could not marry Vincent. He loves Charley Crocker's niece. As long as I was silent it—it seemed— I love you. Star, just the same; no, a thousand times more!” he went on despondently, using uncon­ sciously the old familiar name. "But you need not fear me. I shall never trouble you after this. We're—we’re cousins, yes, more like brother and sister; and I'm unfit—" His sentence went unfinished. They were nearing Esther’s home. “What are your plans, Gideon?" "To see the finish of the railroad, then sell out my holdings and go to my ranch." "But, Gideon, you won't like that fife!" "Like? Life?” he repeated gloomily. “I shall do no harm there. That is all." Utter hop*»'essnes8 was In voice and face. Yet Esther could think of no ade­ quate word, and drove on in silence till they stopped at the doorway. “Will you come in?" "No, Stella. I shall not annoy you further. This is farewell." She looked into his sad face and saw two generations of tragedy there. Resentment, aversion died. “Oh, Gid­ eon, you are of my blood, the only one, my almost brother. Whatever you have done, will do. Is mine to bear by right of kinship. Don’t think I shall reproach you. Come to see me! I will be good to you." (To be continued.) A Californian** Lack. “The luckiest day of my life was w£en I bought a box ot Bucklen’s Ar­ nica Salve", writes Chas. F.

Little Rock, Ark., May 19.—The Arkansas legislature failed to convene Monday in pursuance to a call issued by Speaker Allen H. Hamlter, while; he was acting governor, and as the re-1 suit there will be no extraordinary session of that body. Noon and afternoon sessions were held by members of both the senate 4hd house, but there was not a quorum •at any of the four sessions. The house adjourned sine die. The senate met as a mass meeting of senators In the aft­ ernoon and, adopting resolutions recog­ nising Acting Gov. X. O.

COFFEE ONE OF THE BODIES DUG UP IS ARE YET i Washington, May 16.—The flrat con­ ference of the governors of the atateu of the American union ended Frida)*. Like many of the important events of history, time Is needed to reveal the epoch which the president' and the governors.believe has been made. The accomplishments of the confer­ ence, wblch bad been in session at the White House for three days, cannot be set forth with mathematical pre­ cision. That its Immediate results are more than ample Is the expression of President Roosevelt, who brought It about, and of the governors who participated. Startling Facts Complied. The printed record of the confer­ ence, which later will be available to every American home, will be a com­ pilation of facts; startling in their meaning, convincing In their universal conclusion that* the states must act, and that-the states and the nation must co-operate to the end that to the • whole people of the nation may accrue the lasting benefit of Its natural re­ sources. Besides the compilation of facts by the experts and the freely expressed opinion of the governors, the confer­ ence leaves as Its. permanent record a thousand words of "declaration." Not a "declaration of independence” but a "declaration of co-operation.” Perhaps greater in importance than all else was the determination of tho governors to perfect a permanent or­ ganisation whereby a heretofore un­ known Intimacy may be developed among the executives of the 46 sov­ ereign states, made strong by a com­ mon purpose, and made potent by pronouncements’ which may not light­ ly be disregarded. Set Program Discarded. Of the last, day the story is one of many features. The set program was swept aside. The president presided throughout He interjected remarks and speeches. He brought to the platform men who made plain the pre­ vailing feeling, that thought and care must be exercised for the future. The prepared papers were not pre­ sented. but they will be printed in the permanent record. Their place was taken first by the "declaration,” which was adopted after discussion. Then William J. Bryan was presented by the president. He touched the same chords which had produced the vibration of harmony and co-opera­ tion. A governors' discussion brought many state executives to the plat­ form but the product was altogether that of harmony, and the sentiments expressed were applauded alike by all. . President Roosevelt himself, an swering the one' criticism—that of Gov. Folk of&Hssouri—to the declara­ tion, aroused the conference to Its warmest demonstration of approval. He swept aside the "academic ques­ tion” of where the line of authority should be drawn between the states and the nation. He wanted action, and what he said received Indorse­ ment at each period.

F. T. Wilcox and George R. Osborne, that one of the seven was a female. This has aroused new Interest In the story of Emil Greening of Oklahoma City, Okla., who was employed by Mrs. Ounness in the fall of. 1904. Greening worked for Mrs. Gunness at the time that Jennie Olsen disap­ peared and his’ story was to the ef­ fect that on a certain day In Septem­ ber, a man and woman came to the house and that night Mrs. Gunness asked Greening to sleefi In the barn, for the couple, who she said were a professor and his wife from the. Los Angeles college which Jennie was !q attend, would stiend the night at the house and would require Greening's bedroom. In the morning Greening saw nothing of Jennie nor the man and woman, - and was Informed by Mrs. Gunness that they had left on an early train, taking Jennie along. ’ May Have Slain the Couple. This body, wblch Is now declared to be that of a woman, was taken from the same hole as was that of Jennie Olsen, and in that hole also were the bodies of Ole Budsberg of Iola, Wls., and the remains of a male, person. All the bodies were dismembered, but it was possible to Identify the bodies of Jennie Olsen and Mr. Budsberg, and the autopsies have determined that one of the other two was that of a female. The theory advanced is that Mrs. Gunness. the night that Greening slept In the barn, murdered not only Jen­ nie Olsen, but also the man and woman. Lamphere Had Moe’s Watch.

Ind., May 18.—The scenes of a week ago were repeated Sunday at the Gunness farm. Fully 10,000 persons—not quite as many as a week ago—visited the "farm of mystery” and saw all that there was to be seen, even to viewing the skeletons of the seven unidentified dead, for the tem­ porary’ morgue wis open part of the day and persons were permitted to gaze at the bones of Mrs. Gunness' victims. Hundreds brought their luncheons along, for the day was an Ideal one. and at noon family groups dotted the orchard and the large front lawn. Souvenirs of all kinds were sold on the grounds, the people buying readily, nobody going away without a reminder of some kind. The owner of a museum In Chicago purchased of Wesley Fogle, executor of the Bella Gunness estate, the dog "Prince,” a collie, which has figured to some extent In the tragedy. He paid five dollars. The animal will be used for exhibition purposes. Helgeleln’s Body Buried.

Conductor Knocked Unconscious by Brick—Non-Union Motorman Terri­ bly Beaten—Wires Cut and Ob­ structions Are Placed on Tracks. Cleveland, O., May 19.—The attempt by the members of the state board ot arbitration Monday to bring about peace between the Municipal Traction company and its striking employes re­ sulted in a failure. President Dupont conferred with Members Bishop and Owens of the board in regard to strike settlement, and'while he agreed-to arbitrate some points he would not concede the one thing for which ths men stand de­ terminedly. • “In no case will I arbitrate the rein­ statement of the men at the expense of those now employed.” he said. “I shall stick for.the seniority of runs, those now working getting the prefer­ ence." President Dupont was asked wheth­ er he would arbitrate all other points. He replied that he would arbitrate no points until the lawlessness had ceased. "The men had no right to strike Ln the face of arbitration and I will not confer with them until they purge themselves of the lawless element" Many Deeds of Violence. Deeds of violence continued to be reported on the part of strike sympa­ thizers throughout the day. A car was held up at the corner of Broad­ way and Central avenue. A brick was thrown striking the conducter Id the head, knocking him unconscious. His condition Is serious, but It Is thought he will recover. The motorman was dragged from the car, but was released when it was supposed by the rioters that the conductor had been killed. A non-union motorman while walking to the Windemere barns Monday was attacked by a number of strike sym­ pathizers and terribly beaten. Trolley wires were cut and obstructions placed on the car tracks at many points. Cars Carry Policemen. Trolley wires were cut, crews were driven from their cars and. In some In­ stances. non-union men were attacked by strike sympathizers. Trolley wires in Lakewood, a western suburb, were cut in several places with the re­ sult that the Municipal Traction com­ pany announced that no further at* tempt would be made to operate cars In that section until the Lakewood au­ thorities guaranteed protection for Its men and cars. Because of alleged dis­ crimination against Lakewood by the Municipal Traction company in the matter of fare, it Is claimed that the authorities of the town make no effort to suppress lawless acts committed by strike sympathisers. There was a marked increase in the number of cars operated by the company Monday, a flve-mlnute schedule being maintained on some of the lines. Each car car­ ried a policeman in the motorman's vestibule. BANK CLOSES ITS DOORS THEFTS FORCE THE NATIONAL OF ALLEGHENY TO SUSPEND. Ernest Efforts of Pittsburg Financiers to Prevent the Failure Are En­ tirely Without Avail. Pittsburg, Pa., May 18.—It was of­ ficially announced Sunday night, that the Allegheny National bank, - whose former cashier, William Montgomery, is in-jail, specifically charged with the misappropriation of 1594,000, while of­ ficers ot the bank and of the treasury department are trying to fathom still larger apparent discrepancies In the bank's funds, would: not reopen (or business Monday. Instead a notice on the door an­ nounces that the comptroller ot the currency has taken charge and will close up the affairs of the bank. Until late Sunday It had been ex­ pected by Examiner William L. Folds, who discovered the alleged peculations and made the charges against Mont­ gomery, and by the officers and direc­ tors of the bank, that the Institution would weather the storm and be able to continue business. To this end a number of strong financial Institutions and prominent capitalists of the city offered assistance and provided >250,000 cash/while the directors provided a like amount to meet. Immediate needs or provide for possible emer­ gencies. At the same time a com­ plete reorganization was decided upon and a new cashier and other officers were practically agreed upon. A hitch occurred In these plans Saturday and all of Sunday was spent In confer­ ences, attended by Examiner Folds, representing the treasury department; the bank's directors, and financiers who had proffered aid. After a care­ ful review of the situation suspension of the bank was decided upon as the only logical course. The bank as a city depositary car­ ries about 11,500,000 of the city’s funds and as an active state depos­ itary. over 1500,000 of state funds. It is possible that the city may expert-, ence some Inconvenience In having the funds tied up for a time, but it Is understood that both the state and city are protected against actual loss by bonds of surety companies. Pittsburg. Pa.. May 19.—Followin' the filing of an Involuntary petition in bankruptcy n the United States dis­ trict court late Monday, Attorney C. F. Patterson was appointed receiver for Carotherk & Co., one of the larg­ est brokerage firms in the city. That the failure of the brokerage firm is due to the suspension of the Allegheny National bank was stated by Receiver Patterson, who said: "The firm had a large amount of the bank's stock as collateral and when the bank closed the stock was no longer available in the firm's loans.” FIGHTS MADMAN IN MID AIR.

Munroe GAVE THE VILLAGE A PARK PLAY TIME FOR CHILDREN. First Seven Years of Life Should Re Devoted to Games. MR. AND MRS. C- M. PUTNAM PRESENT THE VILLAGE A DEED TO THE GROUND NOW USED AS A BALL PARK. COUNCIL PROMPTLY ACCEPTED A. G. Murray's Resignation Accept­ ed. Hibbard A. Offley ElectOther Business. All members of the council except Trustees Murray and Keyes .were present at the meeting last Monday night, and a good deal of business was transacted. The first thing to come up was the resignation of Trus­ tee Murray, who was forced to resign on account of an order of the postoffice department that a mail carrier can not hold an office .within the gift of the people, mention of which was made in last week's issue of tho News. The re­ signation was accepted. Ax about-this time Charles M. Put­ nam appeared before the council and stated that he had a little business with the council and passed the clerk a document which proved to be a deed to the ground which is now used by the ball association as a ball ground. The deed is very liberal and gives the ground to the village upon the condi­ tion that it boused for athletic pur­ poses, and in his explanation of the gift he stated that he desired that the base ball association’' be given the handling of the property as long as the association was in existence, and that all others wishing to use the grounds should pay a small amount to the base ball association for its use, as this association would be supposed to keep the grounds up as long as it was in existence. 4 The members of the coun­ cil were taken so completely by sur­ prise that they could not properly ex­ press their thanks, but at once accept­ ed the gift in behalf of the village and voted Mr. and Mr. Putnam a vote of thanks. , . It was voted to raise the following amounts by taxation to run the village the coming year: Incidental fund, 13,500.00. Water Works fund. >2.000.00. Highway fund, >2,500.00. This totals „„ ...... >8,000.00, more a little than was raised last year, but Presi­ dent Liebhauser thought it would be better to raise enough this year io run the village until next year than it was to borrow and pay interest at the last end of the year, and then he staled that it was the purpose ot the village to do more work on the streets this year than was done last year, and all of this taken with a deficleny of about fifteen hundred dollars in the funds of the village, should be no more than would be necoessary to run the village. Hibbard A. Offley was elected to fill the position left vacant by the resigna­ tion of Trustee Murray. Mr. Offley is recognized as a level-headed man and there is no doubt but the choice will prove a good one. The salary of Frank Russell as water commissioner was fixed at twenty five dollars a year. The sidewalk committee is determin­ ed to see that there are more new walks built in the village this year than ever before in any one year, and they brought in another bunch of recommen­ dations which will be found in the of­ ficial proceedings of the council on an­ other page of this issue. A new cross­ walk was ordered built across Main street at the alley on the south side of the town hall. Bills to the amount of >174.91 were allowed. The first seven years of a child's life should be one grand period of play. Games which bring into play all the muscles of the body, and which at the same time divert the mind, should be taught them. Buy him books which have interesting pictures representing the different trades and occupations. These will interest him more and give him rqore definite ideas than any descriptions. Blocks which have pictures on them of the different animals and flowers will af­ ford him much amusement. When be is a little older a box ot the little red kjndergarten blocks should be giv­ en '"him. Teach the child to build houses, barns, bridges, etc. Such amusement as that will be instructive In an-older child one should encour­ age outdoor sports. The Irish mails, which are .propelled by the handle, which is held in the hands and pushed backward and forward, are to be rec­ ommended. They-strengthen the back and arms. Of course, a child should be taught to help in the way of put­ ting away his toys and picking up ar ticlea. One mother said when sewMMt she would purposely drop her scissor* or spool and ezplaln to her child how much he would help by picking it up. Be extremely pleased when the child performs any little service like this, and this will encourage him more than talking could. WOMAN WHO IS APPRECIATED. She of Sunny, Cheerful Temperament Always Popular. The woman who is appreciated is generous not so much with money as with large-heartedness and thought­ fulness and sympathy. The world loves the one who can find a redeem­ ing quality, even in the greatest of sinners, one who forbears to strike a defenseless souL The sunny', hope­ ful woman is ever in request. Every door flies open to her who has a cher­ ry. pleasant word and a bright smile. She is the woman who is always con­ siderate of the rights of others and never attempts to monopolize the con­ versation or to make herself the cen­ ter of attraction. She realizes that money will not buy love. That though a woman may .enjoy every comfort and luxury obtainable, her home may be absolutely cheerless because of love's absence. She knows that there is no woman living who. deep down in her heart, does not appreciate being cared for. admired and loved ’by those she comes in contact with. The Ferocious Mascalong*. In the bed of a dralned-off lake was found the skull of a mascalonge with a swans skull inside of it, and the teeth were locked in the bone, show­ ing that the strong, powerful bird had been attacked during a time when its head was under water, and possibly tn the fierce bsttle that must have en­ sued each combatant drowtoed the other. The fish was supposed to have been about 70 pounds in weight An­ other case on record is that of a fivepound fish being found dead, appar­ ently choked by the partly swallowed body of another fish of three pounds. So voracious is the mascalonge that it will devour any living thing that comes within its vision.

"Jes* me. mos. high mightiness: Etsu make ver* fine model—ver* moch need money!" explained the waddedsilk bundle before him. The shining black coils of hair rose from their humble position to disclose a fresh, girlish face, daintily red as to lipa Immobile as bronze. This, then, was no gift from the gods, bnt a commercial transaction! All th* artist in SL Ives' nature rose to the quaint, colorful little lady. Etsu, taking stupefaction for ac­ quiescence. lifted a bundle of costumes from the floor and pattered toward the dressing robm. In a second she was back. Instead of the cherry blossom silk she was swathed in a heavy kimono whose midnight Wister was glorified by gold­ en storks gravely reposing on one leg against a background of perpetually rising suns. “Etsu ver* fine lady of mikado’s court," she said proudly, making a deep genuflection. St. Ives’ eyes took in greedily the lithe figure, the small, flower like face, and heavy coils of scented hair. He atared til! the "ver1 fine lady" became disturbed; ahe dropped to the floor in* a pretty attitude and with childish dignity and directness said: "Lady play aamlsen, ver* honorable great ar­ tist please to paint!” And so, from day to day, St Ires reveled in color. Etsu had been posing for him for two weeks, and the .studio, with its litter of East Indian bric-a-brac, ugly Chinese idols, and rare tapeatriea, was permeated with the faint fragrance that clung to her kimonoa. To-day Etsu had arrived at the stu­ dio early.

Then all hotels have their private detectives—sort of plain clothes men, vou know—who cir- culate among the guests and keep tabw on things in general.

He was staring up at the window that had ence been hers with an in­ tent gaxe. "It's like your generosity,’’ be said tenderly, tut abstractedly. "You are such an unselfish—AMce!" he ex­ claimed in amazement, for aa he had turned to speak to her he found that she had slipped away. It waa late that night, or early In the morning, she could not tell which, that nfce awoke with a strange con­ sciousness of some one or something in her room. A curious, creeping sen­ sation of fear stole over her from head to. foot and before she was fully able to drag herself out of the mental con­ fusion in wblch her mind struggled under the shock she felt a touch upon her head, then heard a smothered cry and something sliding to the floor be­ side her bed. For an Instant she lay inert under the horror of her fright, her heart beating with' slow, heavy pulaatfons; ' then, without a sound, she cautiously ! reached out her hand to the electric button and switched on the light. A space of time that -was an eternity, in which she seemed to pass from youth to old age, and then she saw the fig­ ure of a man crouching or kneeling at her bedside, bls face buried in the bedclothes, while shiver after shiver of horror or fear shook him like a chllL A slouch hat had fallen to the floor beside blns and near it lay an electric pocket lantern. The worst, the most heart-breaking evidence of all was the handkerchief still gripxk?d in his clenched hand as the arm stretched out across her feet and the eickenlng fumes that even then in that supreme moment she dimly perceived. His hair—his brown, curling hair that she had loved so deeply in secret —touched her hand with a contact that burned her. Without moving the hand she curled the fingers beyond its reach. "Pierce!" She leaned upon b-r elbow, looking down upon him as he still crouched there motionless, with his face buried from her sight A thick braid of her hair slipped down Iron, her shoulder across her breast and coiled In a golden pool beside him. Her deep eyes were aglow with a maternal light that was greater than her woman's love and shed a strange, protecting influence upon him. Although she spoke In steady tones her dry lips moved with difficulty. “My poor boy! I understand. You thought that story about exchanging roonfs was true. Thank God now that you did believe it; but get up quickly and.go—go away out.to toe world and try to live for something better than —this. Try—try hard, for God's sake —and—and—mine. But get up and go, go now, now while my womanhood and my love are stronger Instincts than my duty; for, oh, .poor, foolish boy, did you not after all even suspect that I was trying to warn yon by over­ acting that I was their 'plain clothes mm?'"

B. 1 still keep Harter’o • ‘Crewso” a guaranteed cure for cholera, roup and gapes. Locust Grove farm, which belongs to mv wife, possesses a good spring of crystal water. Years ago her fa­ ther piped the wa­ ter to a log trough, near the farm buildings., This primitive trough lasted for many years, but finally sprang a leak, which soon made an ideal wallow­ ing place for -the pigs. I did hot cherish this sort of spot and cast about for some­ thing of a perman­ ent character to make a water trough. I decided Frame Construc­ upon cement and tion. concluded to con­ struct it myself. I secured all the ma­ terial, including sand, gravel, boulders and cement, and sat to work upon the frame. . The frame was made of one-inch, plank of different widths. The ac­ companying line cut gives a good idea of the method used in constructing this frame. The outside frame was ten feet'long and 2^ feet wide, with the ends bolted together, as indicated in'E. The ends measured four feet ten Inches by .2V4 feet. The length of the inside frame at the top was eight feet 7% Inches, at the bottom eight feet 1|* Inches: the ends at the top three feet ten inches and tbe bottom three feet four inches. This frame waa 2V4 feet deep. The figure shows how the cleats are put on to hold the ends in place. I used eight one-halt­ inch bolts for the outside and set two by twos, so the bolts would reach. , By making tbe top of the crate larger than the bottom tbe wall at tbe bottom is thicker, thus making the inside wall slop# out This gives thh thawing ice a chance to rise. Wedges should be used on end boards of In­ side crate and small nails for nailing on the cleats for the ends of the In­ side crate. These should be nailed Just scr they hold the boards in place. I used rough lumber for building the crates, but would advise the use of planed lumber instead. After getting tbe material in shape be sure the tank is properly located, as it cannot bo moved about when once in place as a wooden or steel tank. Place the pipes where they cannot freeze. This is very impor­ tant Level off and stake the founda­ tion about six inches larger than out­ side measurements of inside crate and dig six or eight inch trench about this, deep enough to be below frost This will leave a block of dirt. Take enough off this to leave the foundation five or shr Inches deep, when concrete is put on. and see that there are no soft places tn it In this trench put a layer of clean boulders and concrete, using unscreened gravel in parts of one to ten; then another layer of boulders and concrete, and so on, almost to the top of the trench, making the concrete richer of cement as the top is neared. The top should be made of concre’> in the proportion of one to six or seven. After the trench has been filled con­ crete alone should be used, one to six, and filled to the proper height for the bottom of 'the tank. This should be leveled off and the crate set on this foundation. After the space between the inside and outside crates has beep divided, it is ready to fill. Mix enough con­ crete, one to six, to make a six-inch layer around the space. Do not use coarse gravel for this. After the con­ crete has been tramped down place a No. 9 galvanized wire around the space, so it will be about the center of the wall when completed, as shown at A. Secure the ends and see that the wire does not come close to the edge of the wall any place. Put in tbe next layer of concrete and the wire In the same way. and so on to the top. Tamp each layer well, so there will be no holes in IL Let this stand about 24 hours, then remove the Inside crate, being careful not to break the wall in any place. The outside wall should not be dis­ turbed until the inside is. finished, says the writer in Orange Judd Farm­ er. Plaster the Inside one-fourth inch thick with sand and cemenL one to three, beginning at a corner and go­ ing around the tank. Plaster the bot­ tom next. Care must be^ taken In plastering the corners where the sides meet not to leave any place where'It is liable to leak afterward. The bolts dan then be removed from the outside and the crate taken off. The outside should be plastered, including the top of the walls. With a brush and a little pure cement and water the entire sur­ face should be washed; this to stop Chy small pores in the wait Let this stand for about 12 hours .before letting in the water. If the work has been carefully done there will be no leak­ ages snd the tank will be one that will last a century and still be in good con­ dition.

Lowder. ’Their son, Fred, was sent there a few weeks ago to receive treatment at the hospital and as Mr. and Mrs. Lowder are unable to stand the expense they have asked the countv to help.

James Taylor of this village was arrested last week on a warrant sworn out by Prosecuting Attorney Pryor, charg’ing him with practicing vetorinarv surgerv and medicine contrary to the state law. Veterinary surgeons are required to pass an examination and procure a diploma before they are admitted to practice, and it seems that Mr. Taylor has failed to do this. He was arraigned before Justice Bishop of Hastings and the case was adjourn­ ed to June 16. The ’ Nashville Club is making arrangements to conduct a high-class lecture course In Nashville next fall and winter.

All of the Nashville people should do what they can to help Miss Buell win this tine vacation trip, ard should clip their coupons and send them to her. If you do not care to take the trouble to send them, clip them and leave them at The News office or the postoffice and we will see that they count for her in the contest. The annual memorial sermon was delivered Sunday morning at the Evangelical church by Rev. Alfred Way. The church was lieautifully decorated with flags and bunting, the altar banked with potted flowers and ferns, while overhead the flags of all nations waved in unison and peace over the assemblage. The decorating was the work of Rev. O. C. Penticoff, and won universal praise from an audience which packed the spacious edifice. Rev. Way’s sermon was an excellent one, well suited to the oc­ casion. The music, too, was highly appropriate to the occasion, consisting entirely of patriotic songs. Jef­ ferds Post, No. 82, G. A.-R., attend­ ed the services in a body, marching from the post hall just before the services and occupying a section which had been specially reserved for them. Seats were also reserved for the W. R. C., many of whom were in attendance. At a meeting of the township board last Saturday Will Titmarsh was ap­ pointed weed commissioner of the township. This is an office that has never been used in the township, but owing to the new law placing out of commission the path, masters of the districts, who have heretofore looked after this matter, it was found neces­ sary to do this. The sexton of the Barryville cemetery was ordered to make a plat of the cemetery and also to keep a correct record of the dis­ posal of lots hereafter. It seems that there have been several plats made of this cemetery but tfuty have become lost, and thivrwy'important part of keeping the'records has been neglect­ ed. It was also decided to charge two dollars a lot to people outside of the township who wist to use this ceme­ tery as a burying ground and here­ after this order will prevail. The new law uaat gives township boards the right to donate a sum not exceeding fifty dollars was taken advantage of ana it was voted to give twenty-five dollars to Jefferds post this year to help them defray the expenses of Dec­ oration day. �‘"HI* face lifted for * flMb Ing lastant, . the junction for Austin and • Reese tls eyes softened with glad tears.

An's there's that English, lord, Lawrence; I don’t know but he’s her fyansee by now; he was here this afternoon. May­ be he ain't gone yet” Alvin looked flown at the floor and said nothing, though she waited for him to speak. 'Think of havin' an English lord for a son-in-law! Or at any rate, Freddy Bryan!" "But what sort of a figure would you and Bill Bernard cut with that kind of people?" he asked, in sudden scorn. ■'We ain’t that pattern of foot We'd keep away,” she returned intrepidly.. "And VI? I suppose she’d never want to see her father and mother. She'd be quite happy without them.” He turned contemptuous eyes upon Sally B.’s quivering face. “Lord! She ought to be happy without you! It's worse than Abraham's sacrifice if there had been no lamb! At least, Isaac would have burned quickly!” He saw Sally. B.’s face drop and gray shadows creep In.

His eyes were misty. He was looking Into a dun future with­ out Viola, a future never before con­ templated. Sally B.. watching, saw her battle won; and a quick revulsion of feeling set In. She admired bls square, manly shoulders. Freddy Bryan was thin, and stooped a little, and the lord was small for an Englishman. Alvin's plain, well-fitting business suit had a wholesome, honest look that appealed to her. She remembered how valiant­ ly he had fought his way on a crutch th sough half-starved boyhood to man­ hood. honorable manhood. Even his straightness touched a new chord—she was proud of the courage that had pioneered an operation that was the talk of the papers. And he bad done it for VI! Alvin felt her changed attitude, and when he came back to her and spoke, his voice was very gentle. “May 1 sea Viola before I go? It'll be my last chance, you know.” "Oh. Al!” she cried out. and stopped. Alvin was astonished at her emo­ tion. yet waited. ' Almost, ambition had lost; not quite. "Al, boy! Do you think you'd better? Won't It be harder for you? An* for her, too?” she added after a breath. Alvin's face contracted. Give her up without one more look into her dear face? Not see for himself that It was well with her? That she could love—at least, be content with—the man her mother would secure for her? His heart beat clamorously; and he told himself he would see her, would see her! Yet he took up his bat, looked calm­ ly for bls gloves and turned steady eyes to where Sally B. stood, her white-knuckled hands grasping a chair­ back desperately. "Tell Vi—tell VI—no. don't tell her smything!” he said, with forced calm ness. "Good-bye, Sally B.” He bowed slightly and walked out of the door. "Oh, Al Carter, you're the best man I ever—" She caught her breath and stopped, staring after him. Neither to the right nor to the left did he turn his eyes as he walked down the winding, rose-lined avenue to the iron gates. Life seemed at an end! "Al! Al Carter!" screamed a shrill voice behind him. Through the gates Bally B. flew, her hair disordered, her full draperies bellying to the wind like pirate sails, her crape ruffles dragging out behind her. “Al. come back!” she cried breathlessly, catching him by the sum, hurrying him through the iron gates again, through the rose-lined avenue to the house. "Come back an’ see VI! Gosh dura It. Al! I throw up the game! What does a shamming old Greaser like me want of a big bug for a son-in-law?

DAMAGE TO CROPS AND TREES IS THE WORST REPORTED in 8IUS PISSED RELflnVELT FEW Years. Vlltagss Are Inundated—Oklahoma Towne Flooded by Rains, Train Services Stopped and Natural Gas Supply Cut Off. Appropriations Are Big—Remarkably Large Number of Questions Dealt with by Law-Makere, Due kto the President's Activity. Austin, Tex., May -25.—A terrific wind and rain storm that at times de­ veloped into a tornado awept Texas from the Patfhandle to the gulf early Sunday. The destruction to crops, frees and shrubbery was the greatest reported in years. / In numerous places houses were un­ roofed-and small villages and hamlets In many instances were inundated' by the terriflc rainfall which, In the space of four hours, reached seven inches In many sections. Austin was in the path of the worst of the storm and for hours the streets .were impassable. Electric light and telephone connec­ tions were disabled and many bouses were unroofed. Great Rainstorms In Oklahoma. Muskogee, Okla., May 25.—Not a railroad In Oklahoma is in operation ns a result of the bean* rains and cloudbursts that have occurred In vari­ ous, parts of the state during the past three days. The last road to suspend , operations was the Missouri, Kansab & Texas, which, was forced to quit at noon Sunday when the bridge on the main line at Eufaula went down. To add to the disaster, the main supplying natural gas to the Indian Territory part of the state was carried away with the Clarksville bridge and the supply of gad for Muskogee and several other cities in the southeast part of the state has been entirely cut off. Officials of the gas company say It will be a week before repairs can be made so that the gas supply­ can again be carried. As natural gas is used for light and heat, business will be*suspended In a measure. Ele­ vators have been forced to stop run­ ning and hotels and restaurants have practically- been put out of business. West Guthrie Flooded. Guthrie, Okla., May 25.—All West Guthrie Is Inundated, with from seven to ten feet of water rushing through the streets. The Cottonwood river is 25 miles wide in places and Is still rising. Not a train arrived in Guthrie Sunday. Other Places Under Water. Tulsa, Okla., May 26.—As a result of an almost Incessant downpour of rain in Oklahoma for the past three days, the Arkansas river has risen 13 feet and is still steadily rising. At six o'clock Sunday night the river had reached the highest point in 14 years. Parts of West Tulsa and Jenks, 14 miles south ofliere, are inundated and the inhabitants are moving from their homes. The water has reached the surface of the wagon bridge across the Arkan­ sas river at this place and all travel over the structure has been stopped. The river is full of debris. Including wrecks of bridges from tributary streams, which have been washed out by the fliAds. It.is Impossible to es­ timate the damage done In the out­ lying country* as telephone and tele­ graph service Is crippled. It Is known, however, that In the lowlands crops are practically ruined and much live­ stock has been drowned. A consider­ able area has been devastated. So far no loss of human life has been re­ ported. Train service on the SL Louis & San Frinclsco and Midland Valley rail­ roads Is delayed by washouts. The Missouri, Kansas & Texas is not run­ ning trains south of Osage Junction on the Oklahoma City and Guthrie di­ vision. Washington, May 23.—Legislative problems presented to the present congress for solution and which re­ main unanswered so far outnumber the actual ''results*' that they may af­ ford justification of the charge in the approaching campaign that the pres­ ent has been a “do. nothing*' session. There, were more Important ques­ tions presented, and discussed on which the public generally, or sections or classes, demanded action than ever before. A majority of these were of President Roosevelt’s making and listed among his "politics.’* Compara­ tively, the enactments were few. On the other hand, the aggregate of ap­ propriations was great and when the final figures are obtainable It is not doubted that they will exceed those of any previous session in times of peace. ■ Currency Bill the Chief. Standing -conspicuously above all other questions with which congress dealt was the effort to pass an emer­ gency currency bill. Thrust upon the attention of legislators at the opening of the session by a financial depres­ sion that had not fully subsided, it was the first big question to be con­ sidered. Likewise it was the hardest to meet and It did more to delay ad­ journment than any other measure. The senate and house failed to agree, with the result that a commission of senators and representatives in con­ gress, whose duty it Is to study the subject and report at the next ses sionT was the alternative adopted. . Numerous bills affecting labor were considered by both the senate and house. In the form In which the bills were 'presented organized labor was not heartily behind them, and ques­ tions concerning the constitutionality af many of the measures. In the light jf recent decisions by the supreme court of the United States, raised other barriers. It is conceded that more legislation would have resulted had it not been for the pending nation al elections. Fata of President’s Policies. Some of the striking things urged upon congress by President Roosevelt, ind which were not enacted, resulted in compromises. For instance, be wanted r. national child labor law. He ilso asked for the enactment of a law regulating child labor in the District of Columbia and the territories, and •.he latter bill was passed. The bill is passed will not serve as a model ict for the encouragement of state leg .slatures for the reason that It was imended to fit peculiar conditions io :he district. r The construction of four battleships was urged In a special message to congress, and a fight for this program was led by administration members of both the senate and house, which contest resulted in failure. Au ap­ propriation was made for the construe­ Ion of two battleships and the policy of authorizing two each year was an­ nounced by Republican leaders which was generally regarded as a concession :o the president's big naval program. Tariff Inquiries Authorized. Authority uo name a tariff commta­ iton and to appoint expens to gather lata with a view to the revision of ;he tariff at the next session was itrongly advocated. As a result resoutloas were adopted in the.senate au.horlzlng the committee on finance, ind in the house authorizing the com­ mittee on ways and means, conduct ndlvldual Investigations. These com­ mittees are empowered to employ such experts as they need. Several measures were raised which were designed to place greater powers n the hands of the Interstate com­ merce commission in the matter of regulating railroad rates. Among :hese was a proposition that the com­ mission proceed to ascertain the physi­ cal valuation of railroads; that the commission be given the power to sus­ pend Increases In railroad rates pend.ng an Investigation of the justice of tuch advances; allowing railroads, to make pooling agreements; and a num­ ber of other questions Involving the regulation of interstate commerce. None ot these bills was passed, but a lubstantlal victory for the commission was won in the appropriation of >350,300 for the establishing of a statistical ind accounting department. Ship Subsidy Held Up. A determined effort was made in the senate to take a step looking to­ ward ship subsidy. The ocean mall subvention bill was passed as an amendment to the post office appropri­ ation bill. It met with opposition In the bouse and is a disputed item in conference. It ia Intended to encour­ age the establishment of mall and pas­ senger steamship lines from the United States porta to ports of South America, Philippine islands. Japan. China and Australasia. Another im­ portant piece of legislation in the post office bill is a provision authorizing the postmaster general to suppress periodicals which publish articles in­ citing anarchy, arson or murder.

BOLD BtHOITS IRE FOILED TRY TO ROB BANK MESSENGERS IN BROAD DAYLIGHT. Bravery of Men Attacked and of Wom­ an Frustratea Crime on New York Streets. New York, May 26.—In broad day­ light. and in one of the densely popu­ lated portions of the city three thugs late Monday afternoon made a daring attempt to hold up and rob a trio of bank messengers as they were carry­ ing 143,000 in cash from one of the bank's branches to its main building. Black pepper was showered upon the messengers, one of them wall hit with a blackjack and another sloshed with a knife In the desperate effort of their assailants to seise the money and escape with it before the arrival of assistance. That they failed to get clear with the valises filled with coin and bills which the bank employes were carrying was due to the stub­ bornness with which the messengers resisted the attack and to the bravery of a young Polish waitress in a near­ by restauranL who so Impeded and delayed the leader of the attacking trio tfrat he fell an easy victim to the policemen who came running to the rescue. The messengers were employes of the Jefferson bank and were on their way from the branch at Clinton and Houston streets to the main bank on Canal streeL On First street three men jumped upon the men and threw pepper in their faces, the leading thug attacking Samuel Edelman, who car­ ried the bulk of the money, grabbing his money bag and attempting to run with it. The other thugs took care of Joseph H. Velsor and Abraham Stern, the other messengers. Edelman tried to shake his assailant off. but was faring badly under the pummeling when Mrs. Eva Javornfcka, waitress in a nearby restaurant, grabbed the leader of the attacking band by the arm. She screamed so loudly for help that a patrolman came running up. frightening the other two thugs away, and was right at the heels of the man who had attacked Edel­ man by the time he had managou to shake himself free from the waitress. The fugitive was captured. The man arrested gave his name as Cast mo Rlccobono. The polled later arrested Rlccobono's father, Giovanni Rlccobono, and his two brothers, Sal­ vator! and Dameaao Rlccobono, who are held as suspects for a further ex­ amination. New York. May 26.—Mrs. Ellen French Vanderbilt was granted an in­ terlocutory decree of divorce from Al­ fred Gwynne Vanderbilt by Justice O'Gorman In the supreme court Mon­ day on the report of David McClure, the referee, who was appointed to take testimony and determine the findings I In the suit instituted by Mrs. VanderbilL Justice O’Gorman confirmed the re­ port of the referee that Mr. Vander­ bilt had been guilty of misconduct and directed that Mrs. Vanderbilt be granted a judgment of absolute di­ vorce. Mrs. Vanderbilt May Remarry. The divorce decree provides that Mrs. Vanderbilt may marry during the lifetime of Mr. VanderbllL but pre­ vents him from marrying during her lifetime. The custody of William H. VanderbllL the only child of the. mar­ riage. was awarded to Mrs. Vanderbilt. No provision was made for alimony In the decree nor was the subject al­ luded to In the report of Referee Mc­ Clure. The referee’s report developed that testimony had been secured from Mr. Vanderbilt's valet concerning the mis­ conduct of his employer on a railroad train a year ago last October in Vir­ ginia. Married Eight Years Ago. Mrs. Vanderbilt was Miss Elsie French, daughter of the late Francis Ormond Freneh, preeident of the Man­ hattan Trust company and a member of the directorates of several rail­ roads.

One of the prominent officials of the University of Michigan will be obliged to pay back to the state between >5,000 Ind >10,000, representing the amount of money he has failed to account for since 1902. . Attorney General Bird will demand that the board of regents dismiss him and an employe of the university. The facts concerning the official that have been developed by an investigation conducted by the at­ torney general will be laid before the prosecuting attorney of Washtenaw county for subh action as he may deem proper in the premises.' The investiga­ tion shows the.offlcial his been grafting the university funds for years.- The instances are so numerous and flagrant that under no circumstances will he be granted immunity. Thus far tbe vari­ ous deals that have been Investigated show that he now owes the state >6,000, and there is another matter pending in Connection with the buying and selling of cement which probably will edd another >2,000 to the total amount. In addition other discrepan­ cies are developing every day. The Investigation develops that tbe em­ ploye was the official's tool. .Confronted with the evidence, there was nothing for the official to do but admit it, al­ though he did not pretend to say what became of the money he had re­ ceived. In the course of his investi­ gation the attorney general learned that the official kept what was known as a "fellow dog fund.” This fund was made up of moneys received from tke sale of university material and reported to the state. Then, whenever the university wanted to purchase any­ thing that he knew would not pass the inspection of the auditor general’s of­ fice, he would use'.this fund and never report the transactions. For instance, the university is only allowed by law >15 to pay freight for1 corpses used in the medical department. In many cases it costs as much as >25. and he took the difference from the “yellow dog fund," keeping that fact secret. “1 dislike to proceed," said Attorney General Bird. "The official Is an old man, stands high In the community and was the most trusted man In the university, but the facts solutely clear that they cannot be viewed lightly, especially his admissions.” F.

Always In the old days to even be seen abroad ax such an hour would have been a torment of mortification; but now, waitlhg for her car, her only care was to get home and give Allen his breakfast on time. She gave no. thought to that homely basket on her arm so frankly filled with meat and vegetables. When a gentleman lifted his hat with a touch of deference and saw her to a seat with her burden Bliss thought it very nice of him and nothing more until she overheard him say to a man in the seat behind hers: "Nctioe what a noble face that little woman had?" “Yes," sold the other man, and turned his paper.

And now— Bliss held her head high and swal­ lowed fast, but she .forgot about tbe leisurely saunter and so reached home sooner than she was expected. She surprised the nurse in the act of spanking baby. Cut and stung as she was, Mrs. Dean found it good to administer se­ vere remarks to another and she in­ dulged in such unsparing terms that nurse walked out of the house and left her to administer severe remarks to herself if she wanted to. And Bliss did it; in all the agony of her mother-love she denounced her folly in Utter terms. To have bad burden and not borne it seemed sud­ denly a far more shameful thing than to be a burden-bearer. She came out of her agony with a resolution: “But if heaven will only help me Fl! bear it after this." She gave her little people their sup­ per and put them to bed and then fell to tidying the nursery in an eagerness of remorse that shut out all thought of time until an errand to the hall brought her face to face with her hus­ band. Allen Dean was standing before the fire, his shoulders stooped with humili­ ation. The "somehow" had failed him. Insignificant as the amount was be had not been able to manage the money for the tickets. And all Bay there had stood tormentlngly before him the image of his wife in opera cloak, her eyes filling with surprise as she re­ ceived his excuses. Bliss had grown used to his stoop­ ing shoulders, so she came up to him now saying only; "Why, Allen, aren't you earlier than . "No," he said, and looked In dull wonder at her roughened hair and house attire. “I had no idea it was so late.___ Din ner time! But I will be ready in a min­ ute.’’ She started to the stairs, then came back and pushed a chair before the fire. "Don't you want to sit down? You look tired.” It was the first time she had ever taken that tone with him; it bad come of its own accord and It filled her with a fine soft glow. Alien only pulled htmaelf together for the Inevitable. "It is not worth while to dress for the opera. Bliss," he said, dully. "Opera? Oh, no, I'm just going tc smooth my hair.

Vice-Consul General Gregory Phelan, writing from Brussels, says: "There are no crematory ovens in Belgium, the nearest being at Paris and at Woking, near London. In order to be cremated any American citizen in Bel­ gium should have on his person all necessary papers, such as passport, certificate of birth or registration, and a letter expressing his desire to be cremated, and sufficient money to en­ able the local authorities to pay for the transportation of the body to the nearest crematorium, and tor other expenses. The cost of transportation to Paris is 133.16, and the cost of cre­ mation $75.24, making the total ex­ pense, exclusive of coffin and hearse, etc., $108.40.

Th* President Signa It—Both Houses Than Ruth Through the Remain­ - Ing Bualneaa and Adjourn Ju at Be­ fore Midnight Washington, June 1.—At 4:35 Sat­ urday afternoon, after having been in operation since noon Friday, the fili­ buster against the currency bill went to pieces, the conference report was adopted and the measure was signed by President Roosevelt, who gave the jien’wlth which he wrote his name to Representative Wilson of Chicago. Senator Gore, the blind orator from Oklahoma, had the floor when the filibuster cam6 to an end, having talked two hours and ten minutes. It had been arranged among the trio of objectors that Senator Stone was to follow Gore and later on Mr. La Follette would make another effort to break into the ring.- For once at least “Gum Shoe Bill*’ was not right on the job. No one seemed to know just where he waa putting in his time, but the Republican leaders were on the alert and seized the opportunity. Aldrich Engineers the Coup. Senator Aldrich, the resourceful Re­ publican leader, was attending strictly to business, and as soon as Mr. Gore concluded bls remarks he secured the floor and immediately moved to pro­ ceed to a vote. La Follette and Stone were both out of the chamber, and there was nothing in -the way. Earlier In the day. with characteristic foresight, Mr. 'Aldrich had provided that the vote should be taken by yeas and nays. A roll call was actually in progress before La Follette or Stone could be notified, and there was then no way of preventing a vote. The folly of the whole filibustering proceeding was sufficiently shown when the currency bill was passed In the senate by a vote of 43 to 22. The Democrats voted solidly against ft, and with them were only five Re­ publicans, La Follette, Brown, Borah. Bourne and Heyburn. Senator Kittridge and one or two other Republic­ ans were paired against, it, but they did not go on the record. Congress Adjourns. The first session of the sixtieth con­ gress adjourned Saturday night at 11:50. Legislative work ended early 1n the evening smd while President Roosevelt was engaged in signing the last grist of bills, the senate took quiet recesses and the house Indulged in the customary levity in the line of singing, flag waving and speechmak­ ing. . . The sudden action on the part of the senate In adopting the conference report on the currency bill and thus sending that measure to completion, served to galvanize both branches of congress into a swift working gait that brought final adjournment up to a matter of a few hours. The house quickly swept aside the conslderatlcm of small, unobjected bills, and resolutions that had been occupying its time, and brought the omnibus public building bill—the piece de resistance among the legis­ lative features of the session—to th< fore. . The regulation 40 minutes’ debate and the filibuster roll call demanded by the Democrats were held, ?nd the great pork measure reached its final passage. There were inward prayers of thanks all over the/place. Last Big Supply Bill. The general deficiency bill, the last of the big supply measures and which this years carries the heavy appropria­ tions for public buildings and . sites, came along next. No difficulty was found Ln putting the bill through early in the evening. The government employes' liability bill, strongly urged by the president and Secretary Taft, had a narrow es­ cape, but urged by Senator Depew, it finally went through just before the senate recessed for dinner. . Senator Beveridge seized the oppor­ tunity to push his "omnibus terri­ tories" measure through the senate when it convened at 8:30 after a re­ cess. The bill, previously passed by the bouse, carried miscellaneous legis­ lative projects for the territories. The measure had encountered heavy objection for several days in the senate and went back to the bouse amended tn several particulars. That body agreed to the amended bill without a conference. President Appears at Capitol. President Roosevelt and his party. Including Secretary Loeb and cabinet officers Root and Garfield, appeared at the capitol at nine o’clock, just be­ fore the resolution to adjourn at* 11:50 was adopted, and went at once to the president’s room, just off the ynarble lobby of the senate.

YAQUI NATION IN SONORA ABOUT TO SEVER TRIBAL RELATIONS. 18 Will Submit to Mexico—Indians, Over­ come In Murderous Struggle for Their Rich Valley, Accept Final Terms of Peace. Hermosillo, Sonora, Max.. June 1.— After a war which has continued inter­ mittently for more than 120 years, the Yaqul nation, as a nation, is about to suffer the throes of dissolution, to sever tribal relations, and Its mem­ bers are to settle down into peaceable and law-abiding citizens. Originally numbering 20,000 or more people, they have never yet acknowl­ edged the authority cf the Mexican government, but the end Is fast com­ ing and the Yaqul nation will soon be a thing of the past. Although Christianized by the Span­ ish fathers, they steadfastly refused to accept the dominion of Spain, and as soldiers, in the revolutionary army, materially aided in driving the Span­ iards from the country, and in later years, against the armies of the re­ public. they stubbornly maintained their freedom. Prior to the accession of Porflrio Diaz to the presidency of the republic the rights of the Yaqul to levy tribute on the commerce of the Yaqui river was recognized by the government of Mexico, and. but for the in-rush of Americans, it Is probable that such condition of things would have existed unchallenged to-day. The ’’Yaqui country” Is rich in natural advantages, in minerals. In agriculture. In home­ making. it is probably surpassed by no spot In the great southwest. Fight for the Valley. To the Anglo-Saxon adventurer the great possibilities afforded bv the country could not be overlooked Old I Sam Brannen was given a grant to the valley, but the government could not deliver the goods and he died of old age without changing the status quo. Brannen’s mantle fell on other shoul­ ders. some American, some Mexican. [I Deeds of violence that would shame a pagan were perpetrated against the | Indians and they replied in like meas­ ; ures. The national as well as state governments became involved pnd I then ensued the long struggle which I Is about to end. On May 7 last Luis Bule, head of the Yaqul nation, asked for a conference ! by which peace could be arranged. With 96 of his followers, he was met In the Bacatete mountains by Col. Jose Gonzales Salas and other officers of the Mexican army. The conference lasted three hours and It is believed to have paved the way to a lasting peace. At first Chief Bule assumed the ag­ gressive In his demands, but was evi­ dently prepared to waive them as oc­ casion demanded. In the end terms acceptableito both parties were agreed upon. \ The Terms of Peace. These provide unconditional submis­ sion of the Yaquis to the authority of the government: that the lives and property of the Indians be respected, and they be protected in all the rights and privileges accorded to Mexican citizens under existing laws, provided, however, that for the time being they j 'must not go north of Tres; that all arms and ammunition of war in the hands of the Indians be delivered to the military authorities; that emis­ saries should be sent to the different Yaqul bands, advising them to cease hostilities and deliver up their arms; and that the government provide ail necessaries for the submitting Indians until such time as work can be pro­ vided for them. Chief Bule, in expressing himself as satisfied with the terms proposed, said he believed his people would accept them If enough time was given to unite all families and parties so as to present themselves in a body. He fixed June 15 as the date upon which the united people present themselves for ratification of terms of settlement Entangled In Folds of American Flag, Young Frederick L. Wood Meets Death. New York, June 1.—Entangled in the'folds of a large American flag, which he had waved as he made a parachute drop of 2,000 feet from a balloon at Hillside park near Passaic. N. J., late Sunday, Frederick L. Wood, an 18-year-old aeronaut of New Haven. Conn., fell helpless In the Passaic river and wag. drowned. Up to a late hour the body had not been recovered. Wood made his ascension at five o'clock In the presence of a thousand persons. As the balloon rose he un­ folded an American flag which he waved to the people below. Near Nutley the balloon had risen to a height estimated at 2.000 feet and Wood decided to descend. Cut­ ting loose the rope that held the para­ chute to the balloon and clutching the rope of his horizontal bar. Wood plunged downwards. Slowly the para­ chute opened and then with moderate speed continued the descent Nearing the earth Wood saw that he would probably fall In the Passaic river and waving his flag as a last salute, he prepared for a plunge Into the water. It was nt this moment while the para­ chute was only a hundred feet above the river that a puff of air caught the floating flag and wrapped It around Wood’s legs. The aeronaut struggled to free himself from Its enveloping folds, but failed and with his limbs still bound by the flag, he plunged into the river. He arose to the surface and cried for help, but before the specta­ tors could come to his aid, he sank and was drowned. Washington, June 2.—Former -Uni­ ted State Senator James K. Jones of Arkansas died at his residence here at 5;30 Monday afternoon after an 111ness of a few hours, aged 69. He was one of the leading Demo­ crats in the senate from 1885 to 1903, and was one of the strongest sup­ porters of William Jennings Bryan, having, as chairman of the Democratic national committee, conducted the campaigns of 1896 and 1800. Since leaving the senate in 1903 he had con­ ducted a law practice in this city and had not actively engaged in politics. . On Friday Senator Jones returned from a visit to his daughter, Mrs. Leonora Carrigan, in Arkansas and Sunday night was apparently enjoying good health. Complaining slightly Monday mornlpg he remained In bed and late in the afternoon died, the Im­ mediate cause of death being heart failure. Senator Jones* Csreer. A native of Mississippi, where he was born In” 1839. James Kimbrough Jones received a classical education, and fought as‘a private soldier in the confederate ranks throughout the civil war.

He was elected to the state (senate the same year and became president of that body -in 1877. Afterward he was elected to the forty-seventh and the two succeeding congresses, and in 1885 succeeded to the seat of James S. Walker In the United States senate, where he served three terms, retiring In 1903. Senator Jones was a delegate to the national Democratic convention of 1896 which gave Mr. Bryan his first nomination and as chairman of the committee on resolutions be reported the 16 to 1 platform. He was made chairman of the national Democratic committee after the convention and as such conducted both of the Bryan campaigns for the presidency. Party Leader In Senate. In the senate Mr. Jones came for­ ward rapidly as one of the leaders of his party and was for several years chairman of the Democratic caucus. He was a member of the subcommit­ tee on finance which reported the Wilson-Gorman tariff bill and was an earnest advocate of tariff revision. Al­ though not an orator, Mr. Jones was a forceful and logical speaker and was often heard In debate. Mr. Jones Is survived by bls widow and three children. Mrs. Carrigan of Arkansas, Miss Sue Jones and James K. Jones. Jr., of this city. He will be buried in this city and many of his former colleagues in congress .who have not yet left the city will remain to attend the funeral. BIG FAILURE IN MEMPHIS. FIND SLAYER ON RETINA.

Glasgow Anchoring Down Wire Fence. We notice that many farmers who use woven wire fencing have them staked down by cris-crosslng small stakes over the bottom wire In order to prevent hogs creeping and forcing their way under and into adjacent fields where they are not wanted. We use a better method. Between each post we dig down 18 inches and place a loop of heavy galvanized wire and Into each hole sink a small stone or piece of old casting and cover deeply. Then with our foot we hold the fencing tight to the ground surface and with the pliers twist the ends of the buried wire about the' bottom fence wire. This makes an anchor that lasts as long as the fence lasts and is not rotting off or being lifted with the frosts every winter, as stakes do. If the fence posts are exception­ ally far apart two or three of these anchors may be placed between each ’---- ———-------SummerGoods SOUTHEAST MAPLE GROVE.

The futures of the exercises were the pantomime, "Jesus Lover of My Soul,” rendered by seven mem­ bers jof the Sunshine band of the Methodist church, and the sunflower chorus by the primary class.

The farm house of John McIntyre two and a half miles west and a half mile south of the QuaUtrap school house, was burned to the ground Tuesday morning. Borne of the con­ tents were saved. The tire is supposed to have started from the sparks of a threshing engine owned by Lydian Spires, which passed the place a Jew minutes before the fire was discovered In a little building, which was built for a store a number of years ago, and which stood so near the house that the latter could not be saved. The house, was insured in the Barry & Eaton Insurance company for three hundred dollars and the contents in in the same company for two hundred. The house was valued at about five hundred, so that the loss will be some­ where in the neighborhood of two or three hundred dollars, as a quantity of household goods were consumed in the fire.

After visiting at Mc­ Wha’• house for a lime, Rasey thot It must be about train time so he wander­ ed down to the palatial M. C. depot in order to be there in time for the home ■teip. After sitting there and reading the signs for some time he asked the agent how soon the train for the west would be along and was informed that it had gone some thirty miuutes before. This was too much for Al so he threw his coat over his arm and started down the track to overtake the car^ reaching home something like seventy* nine minutes later.

Among the several candidates for the republican nomination for the office of register of deeds, none is re­ ceiving mbre favorable mention than Earl B. Townsend of Castleton. Mr. Townsend is a young man who has all of the qualifications which a man should have who aspires to Ute office of register of deeds. He is « young man of acknowledged ability, has a good academic and business education, has bad a great deal of practical ex­ perience, is a splendid penman and an expert book-keeper, and has force of character and unquestioned integrity. He was born In Hastings township. Barry county, on the farin now owned by Levant McIntyre, and with the ex­ ception of a few years spent at Ver­ montville has lived all of his life in Barry county. His father, who re­ cently passed a*ay, was a veteran of thecivil war, and a life-long republ ican. Earl has been, since attaining his* majority, a republican worker and a young man prominent in the councils of his party. He graduated from the Grand Rapids Business University in 1891, and soon afterwards embarked In the grocery business in Nashville, continuing in that business for five years, since which time he has been associated with his father and brother in the elevator business. He has ser­ ved the village of Nashville two terms on the common council, two terms as treasurer, two terms as-assessor, and the township of Castleton two terms as treasurer, filling every office to the universal satififaptioe of his constit­ uent*. • Hf-vsfi safely be intrusted with the imports-A offiat of register of deeds, which perhaps more than any other office in the gift eg the people of the county requires the utmost care and accuracy.

With gentlest care they lifted him into the car. The sufferer moaned unconsciously, and Esther tried to be­ lieve that he knew nothing of his pain. Four more men appeared with a Jaden blanket; this was a winding-sheet. The men spoke no word, and were uncov­ ered. Their burden, too, they bore on to the last car. Three more followed, one walking feebly; supported by the others, the conductor and brakeman of the .supply train. He was pale, hat­ less and coatless, with a.scarlet stain bn neck and collar. Yet he was con­ scious, speaking freely. "Don't mind me,” he was saying. ' “Alfred!” Esther sprung toward the trio, and caught one limp hand swinging by his side.

The sympathy in the man’s tones brought Esther’s tears. "Could I do anything? Some—* she began haltingly. “I'm sure I can," Alfred exclaimed, half rising again. The brekeman waved him back. "Miss Anthony, don’t let him! He had a pretty good shaking up himself; but that’s nothing to what be did.

Washington, June 8.—That the plat­ form which will be adopted at the Chi­ cago convention and on which the Re­ publican party will stand' during the next campaign, has been completed with the exception of a few detells, which will be left for the committee on resolutions to insert, Is the opin­ ion of many who are in the confidence of the Republican leaders. The work has been done by Wade Ellis, attorney genera! of Ohio, the draughtsman of the recent Ohio state platform; Senator Hopkins, who will oe the chairman of the committee on resolutions; Senator Long of Kansas, and a few others, including the presi­ dent and Secretary Taft, who have been freely consulted. The policies of President Roosevelt will be Indorsed unequivocally, and this Indorsement will be the central MAN AND CHILD ARE KILLED idea of the document. These policies ‘ BY STORM THAT SWEEPS will, be set forth as the embodiment of THROUGH CHARLES CITY. the principles of the Republican party, whose achievements will be lauded as at all times wise and beneficent; as Three Children Missing—Cyclone In ever in the Interests of all the people. Chicago, June 9.—A few handfuls of sand were thrown into the cylinders of the Taft political machine late Mon­ day. So far everything that has come up' had been handled quickly and de­ cisively by the Taft men. but Mon­ day from their own membership came a proposition to divide the Louisiana delegation with the opposition, seating both Taft and antl-Taft delegations with a half a vote each. The proposition in itself did not come as a surprise, but the number of members of the national committee who favored the movement created some consternation in the Taft camp. The friends of the secretary of war on the committee brought about- an ad­ journment rather than permit a vote to be taken then. FATIL TORNftDD HITSIOWft TOWN Much Attention to Tariff. Specifically speaking, more atten­ tion has been given.by the platform makers to the tariff than to any other subject. There will be an unequivocal declaration for revision; but the dis­ position is to leave the working out of details to the Ingenuity of congress. It will be emphatically stated that there must be no Innovation that will permit American labor to come Into competition with foreign labor, and accordingly it will be specified that in all cases the duty must be equal to the difference between the American and the European cost of production, a rea­ sonable profit to the American pro­ ducer. The principle of protection will be indorsed in general terms, and there may be a declaration favorable to a maximum and a minimum tariff as the one best calculated to Insure the promotion of American Interests under varying conditions. A clause declaring against utilisation of the tar­ iff for the protection of monopoly is also among the probabilities. As to Financial Plank. Next to the tariff, the financial plank has received must careful attention; but the enactment of the emergency currency law Just before the close of the recent session of congress has ren­ dered the preparation of this plank much simpler than It would have been If there had been no such legislation. Congress will be congratulated on the Aldrlch-Vreeland bill as calculated to protect panics tn the near future and at the same time provide for the permanent improvement of our cur­ rency system. Rmlroad Rate Law. The Republican administration will also be complimented on the passage during the Fifty-ninth congress of tbe railroad rate law, and this legisla­ tion will be pointed-to as an example of what the party will do for the country at large in case it Is given such a lease of power as to afford it sufficient time for the changes which are believed to be desirable. The president will also be given much credit for recent legislation looking to the preservation of the forests, the conservation of the public domain in the interest of th** entire country, and the reclamation of the arid lambs of the west. . The convention win place itself on record as favoring such an amendment of the Sherman anti-trust law as will enable the railroads to enter Into rea­ sonable traffic agreements without taking the risk of prosecution in the criminal courts. . Other Planks Prepared. Among other recommendations that .will be made will be the following: For the admission at the next session of congress of Agjzona and New Mex­ ico as separate states of the union; for the protection of American citi­ zens abroad; for the fostering of our commerce in tbe Orient; for the open door in China; tor the exclusion of coolie labor, whether Chinese or Jap­ anese; strong recommendations of the present civil service policy; in­ dorsement of the plan to grant a sub­ sidy in the interest of the ocean malls to South America and Australasia and for the encouragement of Ameri­ can shipping generally.

Berlin, June 9.—An attempt was made Monday to burn down the old St. Paulus Catholic church at Moabit, be­ longing to the Dominicans, which was crowded with people assembled to hear a sermon by the famous Dominican monk. Bonaventurl. About 1,800 per­ sons were, present. Including more than a thousand women and children, to hpar the mass. While the congregation was kneel­ ing in silent prayer some one informed Father Bonaventurl that the church was aflre. Without alarming the con­ gregation. he coolly stepped over tc the priest who was ’celebrating mass and requested him to close the service. The priest left the alter and spoke to his six assistants, who walked down the aisles and whispered to the pew­ holders that an insignificant blaze had •broken out and that they had better leave the building as soon as possible. At this time the entire roof of the church was a mass of flames and the fire brigade was hurrying to the burn­ ing building. Those In the church, not knowing the extent of the blaze, for­ tunately did not realize their peril, and on the clergy’s.request made their exit rapidly and in an orderly manner. When* they reached the streets they found the firemen drawn up, with lad­ ders against the walls. The fire fight­ ers discovered that nearly a dozen firebrands, soaked with petroleum, had been distributed about various parts of the roof. The flames were extinguished with difficulty after great damage had been done. The police suspect a gang of Incendiaries, who, it is stated, set fire to the old Garrison church, which was destroyed on April 14 last. The firemen declare that only the coolness of the clergy prevented a great disaster. KILLS HIMSELF WHILE INSANE. Dallas. Tex.. June 8.—In a\ storm near Bowie.

Manager Hitchcock feels that there is far more at stake tn the movement for a compromise in Louisiana than appears on tbe surface. Similar con­ tests are pending from Mississippi, Missouri, North Carolina. Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas and Virginia. _ Thplea for a compromise In Louisiana is based on the argument that the negro question Is involved and that some recognition that would ap­ pease the negro voters of the south should be given the Foraker delega­ tion. The Taft men declare that if they make concessions now they may ex­ pect further demands. They are de­ termined to prevent the Insertion of any opening wedge, if such a thing is possible. Sixteen More Gained for Taft. Sixteen more votes were gained for Taft Monday by the settlement of con­ tests. Two of these came from Flori­ da. six from Georgia and eight from Kentucky. These were all the con­ tests heard by the committee. The settlement of the Kentucky case en­ gendered more 111 feeling than has been manifested since tbe committee began Its work. Senator-Elect W. O. Bradley of Kentucky appeared as counsel for the Fairbanks delegation. During his speech he made the sug­ gestion that it Taft Is nominated- It would be doubtful whether he could carry the state of Kentucky, where­ upon Clayton Blakey, attorney for the Taft delegation, charged that Mr. Bradley had stumped the state for Fairbanks making Just that sort of argument. Mr. Bradley• denied the charge and Mr. Blakey replied that he had seen letters written by Mr. Brad­ ley making such claims and that he htfd personally received one of the letters.

Contests from Florida. Georgia and Kentucky will be heard Saturday, the total number of seats affected being 34.

Arguments were made before At­ torney General Bird upon the request of the attorneys for the Grand Rapids & Indiana Railroad company to sign an information in quo warranto against tbe Chicago & Kalamazoo Terminal Railway company. The company Is organized under the gen­ eral railroad act and Is doing a term­ inal business in Kalamazoo. The con­ tention of the petitioner Is that the company is not doing a railroad busi­ ness within the meaning of the act under which it Is incorporated. At­ torney General Bird declined to sign the Information to oust the company on the ground that be is of the opinion that the company is a' railroad com­ pany, doing business lawfully, and ■that there is no reason why the .state, which is not a sufferer, should move In the premises. Plan Standard Code for Trolley Lines. The first step by the state railroad commission to formulate standard rules for the operation of Interurban railways in Michigan was taken, fol­ lowing a conference between the com­ missioners' and representatives of tbe electric lines. Chairman Glasgow of tbe commission named a committee of four to formulate a code of rules to be standard tor the states, Harry Builen, general superintendent of the Detroit United Railway, was1 named I chairman of tbe committee.

It is not likely there will be any contest as to the validity of the act. though the roads before de­ dared that the project was not teas Ible.

This renewed Bo'* faith in the charm, which was beginning to send out smoke in greater volume, and he anxiously watched tbe houses across the street. It was almost dusk, however, before anything happend; but then Bo saw a stranger enter the bouse of the woman. This new one was a tall man dressed in black, and Bo knew by the solemnity and dignity of his bearing that it could be none other than a district magistrate at the least. "Haiti!" Bo exclaimed, ’'begin to tered your dwelling, as they said of my visitations in Kwangtung." The charm 'still continued to send up volumes of smoke, but Bo tried to hurry th* arrival of the other evils by stirring’the powder. It had no .ef­ fect, except perhaps to bring, up a carriage or two full of foreign devils who. entered the house of the woman. But tn a moment the man came out on his fire escape, and. there were sounds from hie window and from the one across. from ■ it; although whether the sounds were of grief or of laughter Bo could not. tell. - At any rate the man sprang across to the window of the woman, as Bo had many times before see* him do, and then he disappeared into the woman's window. After that there was no need to stir the powder to hasten the action of the spell. A crowd of foreign devil youths came up from somewhere and gath­ ered about the house. Horns of insult were blown; pans of contempt were beaten; and there was much howling. A carriage drawn by white horses, and trimmed with the white df Chi­ nese mourning, drove up. The- door of the house was thrown open, and tbe man. followed by the woman who. was clothed In mournful white,- hur­ ried to the. carriage and sprang in­ side. Cries and shouts arose from the foreign devils In tbe doorways. There was a shower of contemptuous rice, and an old shoe struck the carriage door as the -vehicle rolled away. “Wise old honorable Wing Hal," murmured Bo. "The entire ill-fortune of which he spoke came upon them even before all of the powder had been consumed." With a sigh of satisfied vengence he went to the stove and scraped the remaining powder Into tbe grate. Tribute to the Pancake. A Frenchman noted for bls fondness for good eating and well known In tbe fashionable restaurant* of New York was asked at a popular club by a New York friend recently what, in his judgment, was tbe most delicious and distinctive American dish. Without a moment's hesitation the French ^jsltor replied: "The only distinctive Ameri­ can dish that I have found in your country, the one that deserves to be put on the list at least before all others, is your 'buckwheat cakee.' We have various kinds of pancakes abroad most of them palatable and appetising and many of them expensive, but your •buckwheat cakes' excel anything of the kind that I have ever tasted. Bet­ ter than all, they are within the reach of everyone and constitute one of your cheapest as well as one of your choicest foods.

"A life for a life.” A shaft of light struck the arrow. "The sun!” He barely breathed the words. He was very still after that, though his eyes came back to her face. The hands in hers grew chill, and she stirred. “I must call—" she began, but be shook his head ever so little. ' “Only you." His lips formed the words she scarcely heard. The stillness crept on, and on. over all the room. over the face before her, into her own heart—the stillness that was death.

The marriage is a happy one un­ til the wife is introduced to English society into which she does not fit, and a serious quarrel and separation follows her first house-party, and My Lord finds he must “a courting go* a second time to win back the affections of his wife. In the story is another demure American, maiden to whom love is appealing for the first time, and who follows the fortunes of her ftWnd and countrywoman very much against her wishes.

You will be interested in the dever tale, and in the way in which King George takes n part in again bringing together the estranged couple. , There is a subtle humor and pathos woven together in the rapid ar_____ story, in the whole of which there is not a singfedull line. We win present it to our readers in the near future with the conviction that it will, appeal to each and every one of them. �DOLLIVER BOM MS Mil CHPISTORROP BY FIERCE S10II MANY PREDICT IOWA SENATOR WILL BE ON THE TICKET • WITH TAFT.

There are many politicians tn Chi­ cago predicting that these names will constitute the next Republican nation­ al ticket, and some believe that the Iowa man is as sure of the second prize as Is the Ohio man the first The situation does not justify so strong a characterization, but the Dol­ liver boom is manifesting such posi­ tive vitality and has grown so rapidly during the last 36 hours as to justify giving Mr. Dolliver the center of the stage in placing the characters who are taking part in the vice-presidential drama, now being staged. The other vice-presidential develop­ ments of Sunday were the increased prominence given to Vice-President Fairbanks as a candidate to succeed himself, the falling off In the Cortelyou boom and a pronounced Improve­ ment in Sherman’s chances. » Cortelyou 8»emi Out of It. The’ present indications are that Secretary Cortelyou’s name will not be presented to the convention. He has from the first been largely depend­ ent upon the New York delegation, and now that It seems practically im­ possible for him to secure the Indorse­ ment of that delegation It Is possible that his candidacy may not be further pressed. Assistant Secretary of the Treasury Coolidge said that if It be­ came evident that his chief could not secure the nomination without making a fight for it he would not permit the mention of his name in the conven­ tion. There is no possibility of avoiding a conflict, as. it is evident that no one will be permitted to gather the prize without winning it in the open arena of the-assembled convention and with a number of valiant competitors. Fairbanks Sentiment Grows. The growth of Fairbanks sentiment has been due to the tact that for the first time some of the Indiana dele­ gates and other prominent men of that state have discussed the chances of winning second place when the fight for first place is over. The situ­ ation in Indiana is the reverse of the situation in Iowa. While in the latter state the Republican leaders fear de­ moralization in case of Senator Dolli­ ver’s selection for the vice-presidency, in the former they desire the renomlnatlon of Mr. Fairbanks to maintain the political equilibrium now existing in the state. They also urge the re­ tention of Mr. Fairbanks as a source of strength with the voters and be­ cause of his generally acknowledged successful administration of the office for the present term. It Is the opinion of many that if the nomination of a vice-presidential can­ didate fhould be long delayed, Mr. Fairbanks would prove the most avail­ able compromise candidate who has been mentioned. New York. June 16.—Pine Plains, the concentration’ camp of the* federal soldiers and national guardsmen, was torn up from one end to the other of its seven miles of territory Sunday by the most severe wind and rain storm that has visited that section for years. • Three thousand tents were blown down, mess shelters were leveled and more than 100 horses stampeded and escaped from.their corrals. It was the soldiers* first drill of the field maneuvers, which take place this week under Gen. Fred D. Grant, com­ mander of the department of the east, but it was not of the kind anticipated. Money Scattered by the Gale. Paymaster John S. Mallory was pay. Ing off the Twelfth United States infantry when the stonn descended. He. had arranged the money In-heaps of bills, preparatory to distributing them among the men. Maj. Mallory and his assistants made an attempt to get the money back into the 'strongboxes, but they were unsuccessful, and in a moment the air was full of currency. Bills of many denominations were found- scattered over a territory of a mile or more, and probably the greater part of the ifioney will be recovered. Mimic Attack on New YorK The troops will be kept busy with day and night maneuvers, solving various problems of defense and at­ tack, outpost duty and other activities of-troops in the field at war. While the regulars, a brigade of Massachusetts militia and a regimen^ and several troops of a battery of the Nevf York National Guard are strug gllng with the rules and rigors ol mimic war at Pine Plains, ships classed as foreign fleets will endeavor to capture New York city, which will be defended by regulars and New York National Guard regiments of the coast artillery. Under the direction of the regulars the state troops will essay the task of operating the big defense guns in the four forts guarding the harbor ap­ proaches. REPUBLlCflN flRH IS III SESSION BRILLIANT SCENE WHEN THE BIG CONVENTION OPENS. Burrows Is In the Chair—Michigan Senator as Temporary Chairman ’Delivers Carefully Prepared Addreaa—Other Officers Presented. Chicago, Juno 16.—Promptly at noon Tuesday Chairman Harry New of the Republican national committee rapped smartly with his gavel on the presiding officer’s desk In the Coli­ seum. and the Republican national convention of 1908 came to order. The great building presented a magnificent sight Every seat was oc­ cupied and the hundreds of flags and beautiful costumes of many women served to give brilliant color to the scene. For an hour the brass bands at either end of the building had been alternating In playing patriotic airs, while the delegates and spectators were gathering. When Mr. New arose the roar of conversation and the cheer­ ing of noted persons as they entered ceased. Mr. New spoke briefly and then introduced Bishop P. J. Muldoon of Chicago, who delivered the invoca­ tion. Next Secretary Elmer Dover of the national committee read the call for the convention. Chairman Burrows Presented. Again Mr. New arose, and this time called forth Senator J. C. Burrows of Michigan, whom he presented as tem­ porary chairman. Chairman Burrows delivered a carefully prepared speech in which he reviewed at length the his­ tory and achievements of the Repub­ lican party, discussed the growth and development of the country under ite rule, and praised In turn the work done by each of the nine executive de­ partments, the army and navy and the pension bureau.

Each of these gatherings brought forth the odd negative conclusion of declar­ ing not to be in favor of any candi­ date for the vice-presidency—Ohio because the Taft leaders do not wish to be In the attitude of dictating; New York because advocacy of Sherman or Low or any other New Yorker might Impugn the loyalty to Gov. Hughes; Iowa because the state wants Dolliver to remain where he Is In. the senate and thus avoid a tumult In state poli­ tics; Indiana because long distance persuasion had not induced Mr. Fair­ banks to change his attitude towards the first and second places on the ticket. Other state caucuses were equally fruitless In solving the vice-presiden­ tial mystery, which deepens as the bAllot approaches, until It really seems that the prize may be thrown In the arena of the cohventlon for a nerve­ racking struggle. Cannon Shaping Planks. Speaker Cannon remained in Chica­ go all day and. although keeping away from the noisy centers of convention enthusiasm he took a most active part In the conferences on the platform. His unexpected advent here Sunday night for the express purpose of hav­ ing a voice in the document which may shape future legislation led to re­ newed consideration of some of the details of planks, notably those on in­ junction and on trusts. The speaker was closeted with Sen­ ator Hopkins, prospective chairman of the platform committee, for over an hour, and then Mr. Hopkins was clos­ eted with Wade Ellis, custodian of the platform, and Senator Long of Kan­ sas and Frank B. Kellogg of Minneso­ ta, the only ones to whom copies had been Intrusted. Mr. Cannon’s friends’ believe the Injunction and trust planks will be modified If not eliminated, but the custodian of the draft has given no evidence of making any notable changes. The name of ex-Gov. Herrick of Ohio was the latest one to be brought forth for chairman of the national committee to manage the coming cam­ paign. It was received with much fa­ vor. owing to Gov. Herrick’s close re­ lations with Secretary Taft. However, it is understood that the national com­ mittee will defer the selection of a chairman until there is opportunity to confer in person with the nominee. Lively Scenes In Chicago. Chicago, June 15.—With flags flying, bands playing and crowds surging, the usual Sunday calm of Chicago gave way to the many noisy demonstrations which usher in a national convention. State delegations and marching clubs passed Into the city throughout the day. and there was Incessant din of brass bands, marching men, and ex ploding enthusiasm. The broad lake front nlong which the headquarters of candidates and state delegations are located was be­ sieged by the Incoming throngs which choked the hotel lobbies, overflowed into the streets and mingled with the groups of curious onlookers on the broad plaza fronting Lake Michigan. Arrival of Delegations. Although many important confer­ ence were held during the day on candidates and platform the chief In­ terest continued to center on the ar­ riving delegations with their distin­ guished personnel, and the noisy demonstration which greeted them. Che Californians came at noon, headed by M. H. De Young, chairman of tije delegation. With them were the delegates from Oregon, Including the venerable George H. Williams, attor­ ney general in the Grant cabinet, now white-haired and 80, but still a lusty delegate-at-large, ready 3° make a’ speeph seconding the nomination of Secretary Taft; and also the men from: Idaho. The Pennsylvanians'were re-enforced by two more detachments, one *wlth bands and banners and 200 marchers, and another with Congress­ man John Dalzell, who hath from the heart of the steel region, and is counted upon to see that tariff revtsiota does not trench too strongly on the traditions of protection. The Hawailin delegates, six in all, brought their wives, dainty creatures with broWn faces aud shrinking manner. The delegations from Iowa, Mon­ tana. Virginia, Maine. Vermont. New Hampshire and New Mexico, in whole •r In part, were among those to arrive during the day. - MOTOR CAR RUNS INTO RIVER.

Malcolm, resi­ dent member and president of the board of control of the state employ­ ment institution for the blind at Sagli.aw, was asked to come to Lansing and explain to Auditor General Brad­ ley and Attorw?y General Bird certain alleged transactions. A law of the state, section 11,384 of the compiled laws, provides that no member of any board of control of any stat® institu­ tion shall be “either directly or indi­ rectly Interested in any sale or con­ tract with the state,” and that upon violating this statute it. Is the gover­ nor’s duty to immediately remove such offending official, end upon conviction he may be sentenced lo pay a fine not exceeding $500. Vouchers on file in the auditor general's office and other Information received by the attorney general’s department indicated that Malcolm would be asked some embar­ rassing questions, and if certain sales cannot be explained further action may be taken. It is charged » that Malcolm has been buying soft coal' for the Saginaw Institution or’ a con­ cern of which he is a member, such purchases amounting to $50 a month for a considerable period; that he had bought hard coal to the extent of 24 tons a year of a co-partnership in which he is a’partner; that he has bought Ice of a company in whlbh he Is Interested, such purchases amount­ ing to 50 tons a month for a period of several months: that he had bought milk of himself, also fire brick, and last year purchased $300 worth of gravel of himself and his brother. “I think this statute was wisely enacted hr the legislature.” said Attorney GeoNkl Bird. “I should say-that, gen­ erally speaking, a man would not naturally drive as good a bargain for the t-z state, ztz.‘.z. when. he _________ was buying from himself, as he would if he were dealing with outside parties.” Mal­ colm has been a member of the board of control of the Saginaw Institution about two years. He was appointed by Gov. Warner. Chair Car Rate Boost Opposed. When A. J. Doherty of the Pullman Palace Car company was In I-anslng he laid before the state railway com-' mission the plans of his company to materially Increase chair car rates in this state and submitted an argument: to the commission In support of the increase In charges. Doherty stated that the company has In contempla­ tion a fair charge of one-half cent a mile, with a minimum charge of 25 cents. He asked that the commission Indicate what its action would be in regard to the proposed rates, and the other day a letter was forwarded by the commission stating that the new rates, which in some Instances would be equal to 200 per cent, increase, would be viewed with disfavor. The present iow rates, the commission states, were put into effect by the com­ pany of its own volition before the cre­ I ation of the commission. Attention is called to the fact that the last,, legis­ lature in reducing rates .of fare on railroads proceeded on the theory that such reduction would increase travel and that the results have Justified this expectation. In view of the increase^ patronage resulting to the Pullman company, the commissioners saj\thel^ Judgment is that conditions do nof Justify the increase In rates. Whilq the commission Is unable to formally pass upon the reasonableness of the proposed rates until after they are iq effect, it is strongly indicated that they will not be permitted to stand. ■ WEEK' Sixty-tix foora of Suforiority. MOTHERSLAYSHEH FAMILY Judge Carpenter to Leave Bench, Justice William L. Carpenter ten­ dered his resignation as associate Judge of the' supreme court to Gov. Warner and he will return to his for­ mer home in Detroit and re-engage In tbe practice of law. Friends of Judge Carpenter have endeavored to dis­ suade him from leaving the bench, but he is fully satisfied that his present action is tn the line of his duty. He has so timed his resignation that it will interfere but little with the work of the court, apd it will take effect also when it will be most convenient for the political parties to nominate candidates to fill the vacancy. It is not likely that Gov. Warner will 'ap­ point a successor to Justice Carpenter, although he may name the choice of the Republican state' convention when It is made. In his letter of resignation to the governor, Justice Carpenter says: “After .careful consideration I have decided that my private duties require me to retire from the benfch and resume the practice of law! I therefore tender my resignation as as­ sociate justice of the supreme court ot Michigan, to taka effect at tbe close of the 15th day of September, 1908k 1 have selected this date In the belief that my retirement at that time will occasion little or no inconvenience to the business of the court. I embrace this opportunity to convey to-the peo­ ple of the state of Michigan, through you as thejr official representative, my sincere thahks for the honor they have conferred upon me in electing me to the office which I now resign.” Children’s Day at State Fair. Thousands of children will be the guests of the state /air management this year, and will be allowed to see the big sta.te show free of charge. James Slocum, business manager of the fair, has requested Superintendent Martindale to announce that all chil­ dren of the public schools under 12 years of age are eligible as guests on Friday. September 4. On the day that the youngsters own the grounds many special features will be originated for the entertainment of the little folks particularly. Manager Slocum is also considering the advisability of estab­ lishing a "lost children’s department” on that day. -Superintendent Martin­ dale estimates that at least 25,000 children* In Detroit alone will do the fair. The day Is free for all Michigan children. Cadillac Woman Kill* Savon Pomona by sbootlne and Thon Takoa Har mat* of I naan* Asylum. Cadillac.—Eight persons, the en­ tire family of Mr. and Mrs. Daniel Cooper, were murdered, supposedly by the wife and mother, who has been insane. Fred Cooper, the only one who was found alive when the grewsome spectacle was uncovered in the Cooper home, lay for several hours at the Mercy hospital hovering between life and death, the authorities grouped around him in the hope that before he passed away he would be able to tell some of the details of tbe awful tragedy. But their-hopes were vain, for he passed away without a word as to the murders escaping his lips. In every instance the victims were killed- with a bullet through the head. The dead are: Daniel Cooper, 48 years old; Mrs. Cooper, 45 years old; Harry, aged 1.4; Inez, aged 11; Samuel, aged 10; Georgiana, aged 5; -Florence, agvd 1ft years, and Fred, aged 17.' When Mrs. Cooper’s mother and other neighbors entered the home on Chapin street, about which there were no signs of life, bodies of the victims were scattered all about Some were in their beds, and others on the floor. Mrs. Cooper lay across the body of the baby on a bed^ with an emptied revol­ ver beside her. It is believed Mrs. Cooper committed the murders and then killed herself. She was once con­ fined In an insane asylum, and for some time has been brooding over the fact that Cooper was out of work. A few days ago she is reported to have said she would "end it all.” Good Grain Cr'op Promised.

This statement was given by us to Tbe News and is correct. Our object in doing this is-, as stated, by The News, io avoid the confusion which hereto­ fore haa attended lhe seating of the friends of tbe school at tbe commence­ ment exercises. The idea which seems to have gained prevalence is this: That the reservation charge for opera chairs, spoken of above, Is ths only idmlssion fee, and that person not wishing chairs will be admitted free. This, however, is not tbe- case. The customary admission fee of ten cents will be charged as usual to cover ex­ penses of orchestra, decoration, etc. Trusting that you will not misin­ terpret our position in this matter, ana that we may enjoy'the same hearty co-operation as have preceding graduatingclasses, the above is respectfully submitted. • The Class of 1908.

ROSCOE Gale Tools McCormick Tools w The following letter from Mrs. C. L. McKinnis, formerly of this place, will be interesting, not only lo her Nashville friends, but we believe to al) of our readers. Dr.- and- Mrs. McKinnis, Who live at Friday Harbor, took an excursion boat and .went over to Seattle to see tbe fleet: “We left Friday Harbor Saturday morning at seven o'clock and shortly after eight entered the straits of Juan de Fuca. and in tbe distance we could see the smoke from seven battleships coming toward us. They grew more distinct and in about an hour we were within about a mile of them. Our captain slowed down our boat and they crossed our bow at an angle, the last one being as near us as the cap­ tain dared go. It was a magnificent sight—I.can not tell you ab«>ut them, they must be seen to be apnreciated. They are painted white with trim­ mings of buff, which set off the im­ mense guns to a very great advantage. After they passed us our captain rang for full speed ahead and for about an hour we ran alongside of them*, when they made a detour and again crossed our bow. We then- ran into Port Townsend but only remained a few minutes, and in Half an hour we were again steaming alongside. At Port Townsend the fleet picked up'flve more and shortly after leaving, . another, making thirteen .in line. Thev fol­ lowed the flagship Connecticut, 300 yards apart, and as we were behind them it would seem that as far as the eye could reach there was a * line of magnificent warships. As we neared Seattle we began to meet excursion boats coming out to meet the- fleet, decked with the national colors: and as we came Jnto the head of Elliot bay, where the ships anchored, we met every boat of which Seattle could boast — big ocean-going passenger boats with the smaller steam vessels, launches propelled by steam or gaso­ line, and yachts with sails set. It had been a beautiful day but tbe suu did not show his face until we were comifig into lhe bay, as if determined to do his share in welcoming the fleet, as he certainly did, turning the battle­ ships into gold as he shone on their buff paint. The rest of the shins had to wait outside until the battleships were anchored, and then we steamed in so close to a couple of them that we could nearly shake hands with the boys in blue. “It was about four o’clock when we landed here and from eight that morning we had been in sight of the pride of tbe American navy. But the finest sight was still waitfng for us. About eight in the evening we went down on the wharf and almost immed­ iately after reaching there the ships turned on their electric lights and it did.not take a very great stretch of one’s imagination to make vou be­ lieve you were in Fairvland. It was a dark night which made the lights all the more impressive. Incandescent lighlwwere strung over the battleships in such a manner that they were out­ lined aga’nst tbe sky in a blaze of light. We took tbe ferry and went to West Seattle and walked up a high bluff from where we got a view of the ships and also the fireworks which the Japanese of the city contributed and were discharging. Each of the ships turned on their searchlights, some of them having as many as five, and for about a half hour they made the bay and the surrounding city as light as day. When they were turned directly on us they were nearly blinding, and we could easily have read where we were, about three miles away. “Tfeftcity was Iwautifully decorated; First and Second avenues were strung c?n noth sides with 16-c.p. incandescent lights, eighteen inches apart, i.i red, white and blue. In front of the Seat­ tle Electric Co.’s, headquarters was a splendid outline of a battleship in a blaze of electric lights, while nearly all of the large business houses had Immense electric signs, and there were miles of bunting and flags. In the night it began to rain and has rained and rained more or less lhe next day, nevertheless we took a car and went out to the A.Y.P. exposition grounds and tramped around in the mud. “There are several of the buildiqgs nearly ^completed and many, more under construction. Michigan people in Seattle are working for a Michigan building. The site is a beautiful one for a fair. The parks will be natural and the grounds run down to the shores of Takes Union and Washing­ ton." ■ MAGNIFIES “You have lain awake at nlcht,” said a physician, “and heard a mouse 1gnawing at the woodwork somewhere 1down in a kitchen cupboardT* His listener nodded.

An unspoken yum yum. "Was it the night silence, then, that added the finishing touch?” "It was not," the physician replied ■to his own question, noting his listen­ er's look of uncertainty. "Take an­ other Instance: You think you know A smile of gratification. "Well, you find yourself awake at night and thinking. A gem of an idea suddenly sparkle* in the darkness. You surround It with epigrams and while elaborating the setting you fall asleep. What does this Jewel amount to in the morning?” A sigh. “There you are.

The cruel strain of the days Just past told upon Esther. Still, Alfred was there—not by any means well, yet needing only rest, care and Esther. This saved her from Illness. Poor, loving Gideon, dying half happy with his hand in hers, her kiss on his lips, had not even in that moment rivaled Alfred. She turned to him now, her own ills forgotten In happy service for him; and by the bed be kept for a few days, she was spared the little town's excitement over the murder, the un­ successful hunt for the criminal, the wreck, the ,sending away of the wounded man to be mended by man. the burial of the poor body whose soul had gone, to be commended of God. Days they tolled to rebuild the trestle that cunning bands had so Mcretly cut One by one they carried heavy rails up the bank and piled them ready for loading. As Alfred recov­ ered, Esther regained poise and strength; and together they went on to the Front, where they rejoiced the Harmons with their story. At last the Iron! The.little left when the train was wrecked had car­ ried them by the Kelton fiats, where Gregory bad planned his great day's work. Now they must lay over rough­ er road—over culverts, trestles, and grades that must be climbed. For days the men had been idle. And Gregory had listened, with Im­ patient replies, or in more impatient alienee, to reports from the Union Pa­ cific » Uintah! Through the canyon! “A holiday in Salt Lake City for •very man, If the west-bound track­ layers can overtake the graders be­ fore the Central Pacific arrives!" was the bribe the Union Pacific people of­ fered their men. “Their work Is sham! The govern­ ment will never accept it!” enemies of the same road averred. And Greg­ ory prayed that this might be true. But It was not true. The Union Pacific road stood inspection, was accepted; and on they came. Ogden! Still no iron for the Central Pacific! Red pparks scintillated in Gregory's sleepless eyes.. Ogden! He might have been there now If the lion had come! His company might have tapped that rich valley, fetched and carried for the thrifty Mormons. Now that would be the juicy plum of the Union Pacific. And the Central Pa­ cific must $quat in this desert spot, beside the dead, blue lake, whose shores gave no promise, whose flank­ ing hills had been forgotten of God! Gregory fumed over the unknown wretch who had wrecked the iron train. Poor Gregory! Little he knew that, merited though It might have been, the reproof his own boot had given had delayed the precious freight, had lost Ogden for his com­ pany, and 30 miles of road. Idle men make no muscle. Gregory knew IL and chafed still more, as he fretted about the camp, keeping away from bls guests rod his anxious-eyed wife. And now the welcome whistle once again. Preparations so carefully made were reinspected. The camp awoke. Idle men stretched themselves; iasy ones regretfully, honest ones glad­ ly. Buttons, straps, buckles, shoes, hats, tobacco—al! were made ready, forevery one knew that to-morrow would spare ao moment for broken gear, for long­ ing tongues. To the very tip-end of the last rail ■the construction train bad been pushed, the iron train close behind IL and Iron dropped in plies beside the track, when both trains had backed to the rear. The little, low car that moved the iron was loaded; every to reman charged his gang, looked after his tools; every man set his teeth for to­ morrow's work. Long before daylight the camp was •roused. The cooks' calls followed quick!j, and breakfast was taken agulp. With the first dawn-glow that could show a hammer bead where to find a spike, the ringing racket began. Men on the trot pushed the little Iron car—little, yet how heavy!—back and forth over the newly laid rails, drop­ ping a fresh supply at the track end, each time the previous load had been upon one another as they fell to the ground, half a mile ahead of ths morn­ ing camp. The foremen urged, en­ couraged, inspected, hurried. Faster and faster the rails dropped into place! Blow upon blow, spikes and bolts were driven home. And so on through the hot. late April day. Every boss was alert. Every man did his best;, perhaps was sworn at for not Coing better. Only Bennett, calm, un­ hurrying. held hie men to their task with neither curses nor bluster; and Dennett’s gang had the brunt of the Mrs Gregory and her guests watched un weary tngly the great work­ drama unfold; the miles, rail by rail, banded together in the glorious iron way. At what cost was It done! Yet how great was the result! “Is it always so?" Esther asked, looking up at Alfred. "Must the road to great aculovements be always by way of the sweat of the. face, the heart’s blood F His look was tender, comprehending. “Are they not worth the cost?” ■"“Yea. yes; I must believe they are.Yet she turned away, her eyes blurred with tears. She was thinking of Old-, eon alone under his posies. Dinner was a farce for time. If not for quantity. And all the afternoon men with palls and dippers marched up and down the sweating line, serv­ ing to the thirsty incredible fluantlties of warm, brackish water that was nectar to the sweating men. , A short pause for supper, and at it again! Night came on, and a moon. Eastward they could see the camp­ fires of their oncoming rivals. They answered with their own huge bon­ fires, built to reinforce Luna’s pale ray. On and on. hour after hour; there was no talking, not even the desultory interjections of the day, or the raucous orders of the foremen. Muscles moved sutomattcally. Hammers struck as rhythmically, but more slowly. Each man bent to his task with grim endur­ ance, too weary to protest.- Some sank down and were allowed to crawl away. All day Gregory, pale and tense, had raged up and down the line, directing, crying orders far and near, calling for the impossible, often getting the un­ expected. He hurried men. scored in­ dividuals, anathematised tools, earth, Iron, heat. He was impatient, fiercely eager; yet. with It all, not far from every honest heart there; for be was fighting for the company—and suc­ cess. Dearer to him it was than any enterprise of his own ever would be. The men knew this, and honored him. bore with him, respected him. for the achievement, which many declared no other man could have made. In the dead of night, when the air was chill upon wet, weary backs— when men were dropping from fatigue, and others, more dogged, were work­ ing on, praying silently for relief—at last, down the line came Gregory's Jubilant cry. ' “Rosel!" No man among them all had worked as hard as he had worked. Month by month his flesh bad dropped away, his cheek tanned darker, as be fought his way from ocean to inland sea. The spare, square frame and the seamed face had changed him, aged him sad­ ly. He had paid In heart and body on this tremendous project And to his anxious wife, praying for this con­ flict to end. no less than to the ex­ hausted men, bis cry came like a glad clarion. “It’s ten miles, boys! Ten miles in one day! There’s their camp! We'll touch Union Pacific rails to-morrow at Promontory!" “Hooray! Another stride of the Cen­ tral Pacific’s seven-league boots to­ ward Brigham's drove of tender ewes!" cried some inpertinent voice. Hammers dropped. Backs unbent nor recked of pain. Cheer after cheer rent the still nlghL Ten miles! Ten miles! The greatest day's work In the world's railroad history!

Simple Directions Plainly Told Which You Will Need Next Season. A scion is s portion cut from a plant, to be Inserted upon another (or the same) plant, wHb the Inten­ tion that It shall grow. The wood for scions should be taken while in a dor­ mant or resting condition. The time usually considered best is after the leaves have fallen, but before severe freezing begins. The scions should be cut in about sis-inch lengths from ma­ tured new wood from bearing trees of knows variety; then tied In bunch- BASE BALL Middleville vs. Nashville Cleft Grafting from Start to Finish, es and placed In moist sand, where they will not freese and yet will be kept cold enough to prevent growth. Good results may be followed by cutting scions in the spring just bofore or at the time the grafting Is to be done, but it is a rnach better plan to cut the scions in the fall. The stock is the tree or part of a tree upon which or Into which.the bud or scion Is inserted. For best results in grafting it is essential that the stock be in active, growing condi­ tion. . When !n the spring the sap begins to move In the stock, be ready; this occurs early in the plum and cherry, and later in the pear and app’a. Do the grafting if possible on a mild day during showery weather. The neces­ sary tools are a chisel or a thickbladed knife wr a grafting iron (with which to split open the stock after it is sawed off smoothly with a finetooth saw.) a hammer or mallet to aid the splitting process, a vary sharp knife to trim the scions, and a supply of good grafting wax. Baw off a branch at the desired point, spilt the stock a little way down, insert a scion at each outer edge—taking care that the inner bark of the scion fits snugly and exactly against ths inner bark ot the stock. Tills—together with the exclusion of air and mois­ ture nntu a union results—constitutes the secret of success. Trim the scions wedgeshaped, as shown in the pic­ ture; insert them accurately; the wedge should be a trifle thicker on the side which oomee in contact with the bark.

Three Rivera, Que., June 23.—Fan­ ned by a high wind, a fire which broke out shortly before noon Monday in a stable was not checked until the great­ er part Of the lower town, containing the business section of the city, had been consumed. Then, with the assist­ ance of firemen brought by special trains from Montreal, Quebec. Sher­ brooke and Grand Mere.lt was held in check. Almost every building of any conse­ quence in that section of the city was destroyed, including the only hotel worthy of the name with one excep­ tion, the fine building of the Hocbelaga bank and most of the leading stores. Over 300 buildings were burned. SoldierstFIght the Flames. The narrow streets of the town and the Inflammable nature of many build­ ings rendered the task of the firemen an almost impossible one. Outside the town is located the camp of the Sixth military district, and soon after the fire started a thousand men were sent to help fight the flames. The local brigade, was entirely ineffective when it came to coping with a conflagration and the soldiers rendered the best as­ sistance they could, but their bucket brigade, was not equal to the task. The fact that there was no efficient command^alKo militated against their ef­ forts. Among, the buildings burned, be­ sides those mentioned above, are St James' church, the oldest Anglican church in Canada; the German Cath­ olic Parish church; Drolet, La Londeinand company's big department store; the Dufresne, Windsor, Dominion and Richelieu hotels, the telegraph offices and the Bell Telephone company's ex­ change. Loss is Over a Million. The loss will be considerably over n million dollars and it is stated that the Insurance companies will be hard hit, though none of them will lose any considerable amount, because, owing to the character of the buildings and the Inefficiency cf the fire protection, they keep their risks well scattered. So far no loss of life has been re­ ported, but a woman and two children are reported to have been badly burned. Fire Causes $500,000 Loss. Port Chester, N. Y.. June 23.—A fire here late Monday destroyed a block of buildings, occupied chiefly by busi­ ness firms, rendered 40 families home­ less and entailed a loss of $500,000. The fire broke out in the Burns liv­ ery stables, occupied in part by the Borden’s Condensed Milk company, and was sA>n beyond the control of the firemen. Aid was asked from Rye. Harrison, East Port Chester and Grenwich fire departments. The en­ tire block bounded by West Chester avenue. Broad str*®t and Factory place was consumed and buildings on both sides of Irving avenue were de­ stroyed. The Baptist church was partly burned. TWO GUILTY; TWO SET FREE.

SHERMAN QF NEW YORK 18 SELECTED FOR THE VICE­ PRESIDENCY. Tumultuous Enthusiasm Seizes the Delegates and Spectators When Secretary of War Is Named for President—Platform Is Adopted. Chicago, June 20.—For president, William H. Taft of Ohio. For vice-president, James S. Sher­ man of New York. Such is the ticket put up by the Republican party, whose national con­ vention closed Its sessions here Friday noon. Mr. Taft was nominated on the first ballot Thursday amid a great demon­ stration of enthusiasm. He received 702 votes, and was promptly made the unanimous choice of the convention. Sherman for Second Place. The vice-presidential problem was speedily solved in conferences Thurs­ day evening and when the convention reassembled Friday the result was not in doubt a moment. Timothy L. ■Woodruff, nominated Representative Sherman and Speaker Cannon sec­ onded the nomination in a speech that aroused the wildest applause. Massa­ chusetts put forward Gov. Guild and New Jersey named ex-Gov. Murphy for the place, but Sherman received 816 votes on the first ballot and the nom­ ination was made unanimous. After completing its routine Work, the convention adjourned, and a sub­ committee of the national committee started for Cincinnati to consult with Mr. Taft as to the selection d! a na­ tional chairman. The picture within the walls of the vast amphitheater as the presidential candidate was named Thursday was one truly gradlose in its magnitude. In front, to the right and left.^ below and above, the billowing sea of hu­ manity, restless after hours of wait­ ing and stirred from one emotion to another, was in a fever of expectancy for the culminating vote. The favorite sons of other states had been named, save Knox and La Follette, and now on the roll call came Ohio. Scene of Wild Enthusiasm. As the Buckeye state was reached, the tall, gaunt form of Theodore E. Burton, with student-like face and severe black clerical garb, advanced to the platform to nominate Ohio’s can­ didate. He spoke fervently, with the singing voice of an evangelist, which went ringing through the great build­ ing. The close of bls speech of nomination was the signal for loosing the long pent-up feeling of the Taft legions. Instantly the Ohio delegates were on their feet, other Taft states following, while the convention hosts, in gallery and on floor, broke into mad demonstration. Al) semblance of order had been abandoned and the delegates' arena was a maelstrom of gesticulating men; the gnldons of the states were snatched up by the Taft enthusiasts or borne under by the storm of disor­ der. The band was mandible—a mere whisper above the deafening volume of sound. For ten, 15, 20 minutes, this uproar continued. At last the tired voices died down to a hoarse shout, and subsided. Seconded by Knight This lull now gave the opportunity for the speech seconding Taft's nom­ ination, by Geprgp H. Knight of Cali­ fornia, his big, round face beaming forth on the sympathetic multitude, and his splendid baritone voice well­ ing forth like the tones of a great church organ. California’s tribute to Taft was brief and fervid. Now there was another lull in the Taft movement, while the remaining candidates were placed in nomination. . It was late in the afternoon before the convention; now literally swelter­ ing with the intense heat and weary after nearly seven hours of continuous session, reached the end of the flood of eloquence and the decks were at last cleared for the culminating act. Taking the Vote. A hush of expectancy hung over Washington. June 20.—Secretary Taft Friday presented to the president his resignation to take effect June 30, and it was announced at the .White House that Luke E. Wright of Tennesssee will be appointed secretary of war to succeed Mr. Taft. In making this appointment the president was influenced somewhat by the desire to recognize in an emphatic way that there is no longer any dividing line between the north and the south, and that all good Americans are in thought and deed one, and the presi­ dent was influenced still more by the fact that Gov. Wright’s personal at­ tributes and experience pre-eminently fit him for this particular position. Statement from White House. The statement- given out at the White House-concerning Mr. Wright's appointment says: the assembly us the call of states pro­ “As Philippine commissioner, and ceeded.

Ohio carried the Taft the most distinguished of the men total to 511, or 20 more than enough to nominate. Still the call went on until the final result was announced by Chairman Lodge. "For Theodore Roosevelt, 3 votes: for Joseph B. Foraker of Ohio, 16 votf«s; for Charles W.

Knox of Pent, sylvania, 68 votes,' and William H. Taft of Ohio, 702 votes. Vote Is Made Unanimous. A great shout went up as Lodge concluded his announcement, and with one accord the cohorts of Cannon and Knox and Hughes and the other heroes, joined in a common tribute for the candidate of the party. Gen. Stew-art L. Woodford, for Gov.

Barker engaged in the bakery business in Nashville. We have always taken the position that a good bakery in a town of this size is a good thing and that all of the bakery busi­ ness should be done thru the local bakery. We have been asked many times by our customers why we did not sell bread. Our only reason for not doing so is stated above. After many requests from our customers we have decided for their conveni­ ence to sell bread and have made arrangements with Barker to furnish us fresh bread daily. . Sowmmwriss rrliw, J so.

It remains for the engineering school of the University of Michigan to lead In creating new courses and conferring new degrees. The object of these new courses Is to give the students in this department a broader education and training which will enable them to serve In greater capacity the ex­ traordinary demands which' engineers are now called upon to meet, and to fit them to perform the work outlined by President Roosevelt In the meeting called by him In Washington, D. C„ a month ago In which the matter of our natural resources was Introduced. At the end of four years’ regular en­ gineering work it is proposed to con­ fer the degree of bachelor of science In ’preparation for engineering and architectural engineering. At the end of five years the degree of bachelor of engineering, and bachelor of archi­ tecture. will be conferred. At th© end of six years these new degrees, never before awarded In any engineering school In the world, will be.conferred: Master of civil engineering, master of mechanical engineering, master of architectural engineering and master of marine engineering. The six courses are so arranged that at the end of four years the students are splendidly fitted to go the Michigan College of Mines and receive the technical course in mining engineering, which work will not be offered in the University of Michigan. The matter of establish­ ing a slx-years' course in geological engineering, also a new course In the engineering world, has been submitted to the board of regents for which they would be asked to create .the degree of master of geological engineering. All these new and proposed courses will tn no manner conflict with the regular four-year courses, which will continue the same as in the past. Declares Prices Are Unreasonable. The Michigan Manufacturers' asso­ ciation has filed with the railroad commission formal complaint against the Ann Arbor railroad and ten other lines, members of the Michigan Car association. The complaint alleges that the prices charged for car service provided by the association are un­ reasonable and the demurrage unsatis-factory. With the complaint Is filed a draft of rules which the manufactur­ ers suggest that the commission direct be adopted. The new rules would pro­ vide for reciprocating demurrage and a penalty when cars are not furnished promptly, together with an order that care must be moved at least 50 miles a day when in transit.

NUMBER 43 �CHARTER I. 11 Which It. I| Shown That Marriage Dora Not End Alli The romance of life—in novels!— tl usually pro-marital. No matter In what wild fun- of passion and tern*«t, outward and inward, the young Eli may have been planted, their author seems to thin’- that he has quieted the raging seas of adventure with the oil of his pen—or of his typewriter!—when he has led them to the altar. In the minds of the creators of the children of fancy prac­ tically nothing ever happena after the rotting of the hymeneal bond. In the world it la usually different The circumstances preceding the marriage of Ellen Slocum and Bernard Carrington the protagonists of thia Waclous chronicle of disturbance. We sufficiently unusual in themto have given rise to a numhar of interesting and highly exciting •pisodes, upon which with great reluc­ tant* I refrain from dilating, for Ellen Bk>cum belonged tn an old and very respectable family domiciled in Phila­ delphia since the days of William Wan, while Bernard Carrington was an English baron of ancient and honarable lineage whose seat was a dilapi­ dated castle in Dorset Ellen was an orphan, her mother tiaving died in giving birth to her. Her father, deceased shortly before txsr marriage, had been a prosperous merchant and shipowner. Bernard's father, also eliminated from the story, had been a gambler and a spendthrift who had broken his wife's heart and dtoalpated hia own fortune. Conse­ quently, Ellen was blessed with a superfluity of this world's goods which more than matched Lord Carrington's lack of the same. Ellen was a staunch patriot a rebel and a revolutionist therefore. Lord Carrington was a promising lieutenant in the English wavy. In some qualities happily be resembled his. mother rather than his father. Without entering into the details of their previous acquaintance, suffice it to say that they had. met while Lord Carrington was a prisoner of war at Philadelphia, and married. The Amer­ ican Revolution was over at the be­ ginning of this romance and the scene la set at Carrington castle in England. Ellen's money, or a considerable por­ tion of it, had been cheerfully used by her to rehabilitate the ancient seat ef the family of which she was now become the chatelaine. There had been much business to attend to 4n the two years that bad •lapsed since their marriage; leave •C absence had been obtained for Lord Carrington, arrangements for the con­ verting of much of Lady Ellen's prop­ erty into available securities which eould readily be turned Into cash, and a deal of planning and working with the architects and builders and so on, so that the marriage had been a hap­ py one despite the fact that there bad existed, aiid stlU existed, an original difference of temperament and en­ vironment between the two as great M bad been that between their sta­ tion in life and places of birth. The time had arrived, however. When all the preliminaries having been gotten rid of. It wm necessary that she should step forth as one of the great ladies of England Into which station her money and Carrington's position easily inducted her. Her qualifications for filling that distin­ guished role were a strong and vigor­ ous young body, a proud and high •pint, a pure and Innocent mind, a lovely face, manners simple and un­ sophisticated, and an unbounded de­ votion to her handsome and distin­ guished husband. There was in her blood some strain of the sea and st. bad spent half her life oa her father's ships. She could handle a small boat, or even a great ship, as well as a sail­ or for instance. And Lord Carrington bad amused himself by teaching her how to use pistol and small sword Umoit as well as he. She had the disabilities of her qual­ ities. too. She had never touched a ••rd; she bad never ridden a horse, •he did not even know the steps of the mlnwet or any other dance, and un­ til her marriage she cared little about that prime feminine pursuit called •following the fashion." The two had been bo busy in their first 'comrade­ ship, there had been so much voy­ aging between England and America, •eceesitxted by their plans, that there bad been no time for these things as The two lovers had lived for each •tber and much alone during the per­ ted preceding the opening of this •tery. but with bls castle now com­ pletely repaired and his fortunes thorongfaly rehabilitated. Lord Carrington mast seeds axpteit his good luck by ■howtag hfis bssvtttal wife with whom tar .was vary muck in love aid of Whom be Ms inordinately proud, and •tee bls cMrtfe. to some particular and Intimate friends of both sexes—men and women of fashion of earlier ai^d lass innocent days. The introduction of several varieties of Adam and a •umber of distinct species of Eve in this hitherto ampentlem Eden cawd toe trouble to begin. The marriage kad stood the test of Isolation, the gpatw* test that scald be imposed. Was it to break down before the lesser trial of association? We shall aee. *!t was on excited and angry Ellen who confronted her lord and master in her boudoir late one autumn night —or to be quite accurate, early anoth­ er autumn morning. And my lord of Carrington was by no means cool him­ self, although he. was more remarkable for natural imperturbability of manner than his hasty and beautiful wife. As she spoke with him, however, she let down her hair and carefully removed those extraneous arrange­ ments which bad enabled her to false it towerlike above her brows, doffed her silks, unclasped her stays and as­ sumed a more convenient, negligee, in which she was not less charmtag. as preparation for the Imminent fray. It was to be the culmination — the minor culmination that Is. the greater would come later—of a series at nnoylng Incidents since the opening at the castle to the house party. My lord and my lady both had grievance* which each was eager to present for the calm and dispassionate judgment of the other. First In Lady Ellen's mind was Lady Cecily Carrington, a cousin sev­ eral times removed of my lord's. The | relationship was not near enough to render my lord immune nor was it re-' mote enough to warrant Indifference. Indeed. Carrington had bad a rather difficult part to play. Ellen bad dis­ covered that an ancient love affair had subsisted between her husband and Cecily and she Imagined —not without cause — that Cecily, a repre­ sentative product of the vicious soci­ ety of her time, was endeavoring to fan the embers into a flame. Nor could she detect in Lord Carrington's method of handling the situation any very pronounced desire to quench the fire, and bis conduct toward hia fair and. If reputation did not too greatly belie her, frail cousin, was not distin­ guished ’ by self-restraint In Ellen's eyes Carrington manifested a very catholic taste In the eternal feminine, for he gave much unnecessary atten­ tion to Hon. Mrs. Monbrant • wid­ ow putatively at least for no one knew where Hon. Mr. Mon­ brant was. His wife gave out that he was dead, but that testimony was not of great value. At any rate if he lived, he was wise In hia generation and he kept under cover. In the bouse party there was an­ other eternal—in more senses than one!—feminine In the person of the ancient and imperious duchess of Dulward. Her great age precluded the possibility of jealousy of Carrington in Ellen’s mind, but the chatelaine of the pastle did not like the ponderous and vicious dowager any more than the younger pair who were making the running apparently for the affec­ tions of her husband. There was only one woman In the castle whom Ellen reklly did like, and that was Mistress Debbie Slocum of Massachusetts. In making up the bouse party Ellen by a freak of cir­ cumstances had desired to include some one from her own land. As for-, tune would have it, a ship opportune­ ly arrived in Portsmouth hearing Mis­ tress Deborah Winthrop Slocum as a passenger, consigned to her klnswbman and friend, the chatelaine of Car­ rington, Deborah was the exact an­ tithesis of Ellen, a quiet, staid, prim little Puritan, with all the character­ istics of the Massachusetts branch of the family, utterly out of place In ths society of Lady Cecily and la Mon­ brant, but not without a certain very definite charm of her own. Her type did •« appeal to Darrington, howwrar. and tbssefors EBc* loved her. Having surveyed the woman through Ellen's eyes, we may take a look at the men through those of her hus­ band. First tn rank there was the duke of Dulward, a bard drinker, a high player and a rich Uyer; Admiral Beniamin Kepbard, a jolly old sailor, and General. Honorable George Atbelstroiug, an Anglo-Indian soldier on the retired list The qualities that distin­ guished the duke of Dulward were •osaakoa to Atbslstxoag, la a tow cto- ton jumped at the wild conclusion that there could be no attraction for his friend except what lay in Ellen's charming personality. So much by way of introduction. CHAPTER II. ‘ H*sdlss and Pina "Sir,” began Ellen Imperiously, ■ while settling herself comfortably tn a chair before the open fire, "you have been pleased to find fault with me about many things which I have borne with what patience I might” "Patience!" laughed Carrington un­ pleasantly. Ellen's eyes flashed. "You repetition of the word at thto Juncture serves to emphasise the qual­ ity in me, think you not so?" she re­ torted. ■ ’ "Pray proceed, madam.” answered her husband, dodging the question which indeed .was unanswerable from the woman's point of view. “I shall do so. This morning you actually laughed at me." “ 'Fore God, madam, what would you have had me do? WeepT I con­ fess I felt more like It and if I laughed, it was but to turn off an awkward sit-* tuition." "And you call it an awkward situa­ tion that I was thrown from my horse, do you. and plumped into the brook, and covered with mud. and nearly killed? What made you give me such a horse anyway?" "I protest Tla the gentlest beast in the stables, and the tamest I do believe. In all England," returned Carrington bitterly. “A girl of ten could have ridden it" ■ « "Yes, I suppose bo.” answered his with with equal acerbity, "if the girl of ten bad been taught to ride all her life. I told you that I couldn't I hate the animals. Yet you needs must mount me to have me thrown off to make a spectacle to all your fine friends." "If you remember." said Carrington, "I advised you to stay at home and you Insisted upon going.” “What! And have them say that I waz afraid to ride to bounds!” Carrington in the face of this im­ passe could only shrug his shoulders. "fou're just about as helpful now as you were then. Why didn't you come to my assistance?" "You lacked no help, madam. I ob­ served that two of the gentlemen at least were by your side." . "You refer to Lord Strathgate and Sir Chariest’ "A good guess, madam, though an easy one. for they are ever b;; your aide.” "And all you could do was to laugh, to join, that painted, powdered co­ quette, ’ your cousin, and that other bedlzined fromp by her side, in jeer­ ing at your wife. If I bad them on the deck of a ship or a tops'l-yardarm, or at a wheel, I’d show them:" "No doubt," returned Carrington sarcastically, "and perhaps if you put on boxing gloves with them, or tried them out with the broad sword, they would be equally at a disadvantage, but one doesn't look for these things in women to-day." 'There was a time,” interrupted El­ len swiftly, her lips trembling, and indeed despite these things she was quite woman enough then, but Car­ rington was so blinded with passion as to be unable to se IL “I have had enough of reminis­ cence," he began curtly. "Was it in reminiscence," cried Ellen shrilly, "that you had your arm around Lady Cecily in the arbor this afternoon ?" "Did you spy upon me, madam?" “Spy.'” exclaimed the woman. "Lord Strathgate and I—" "Damn him!" burst out Carrington. "What was he doing with you in the arbor?" "He is my friend,’’ returned Ellen, "he and Sir Charles." "I would not have thought It of Charles." cried Carrington angrily. It was they who came to my res­ cue. It was not they who laughed when I fell." "I tell you I never felt less like laughing in my life to see you made a fool of and those popinjays rushing to your assistance." "I have been made • fool of," said Ellen steadily. T am just beginning to realize IL I was well enough when you were alone with me and you were well enough then, but when others came—” "By heavens, madam, are you con­ trasting me with that dandy and rogue. Strathgate?** *• "He has never spoken to me other than in terms of the utmost respect and consideration In my life," an­ swered Ellen bravely, "and I—" "He had better not," burst out my lord grimly. “And I would to God that I eould aay the same of my husband!** she continued disdaining hie threat "if you treated me with any defer­ ence and paid more heed to my wishes these difficulties would not arise,*’ said Carrington. "If you would be guided by me—” “And what, pray, would you have me dor "Dance, game, set an the rest do, •ad—" T rode to hotmda this morning.

June 30.—By direction of President Roosevelt, Secretary of War Tait has Issued orders to the commanding general of the depart­ ment pf Texas, at San Antonio, to send a sufficient number of troops to Del Rio, El Paso and other points in Texas to aid the civil authorities In preserving order. This action was decided upon as a result of the re­ quest from the Mexican government that the United States do Its utmost to prevent any violation of the neu­ trality law’s. The request of tbe Mexican govern­ ment was referred to the attorney general by tbe state department, and the governor of Texas in the mean­ time was asked to aid in compelling obedience to the law. The order of the president sending troops to the border Is understood to have been made upon the recommendation of the attorney general Mexican Troops Take the Field. El Paso, Tex., June 30.—According to Information from a reliable source, official advices have been received in Jaurez, across the Rio Grande from this city, to the effect that the 2,500 federal troops sent to Torreon, Coa­ huila, have taken the field in an effort to surround the pasties believed to be responsible for the attacks on Vlesca and Hacienda Matamoras.

June 30.—Up to Monday evening no news of any sort had been received at the capital-that would indicate that there had been a repetition of the disorders similar to those which occurred at the towns of Viesca and Las Vacas. On the con­ trary. at the departments of the in­ terior, war and state, it was stated that absolute quiet reigned In the re­ gion where the two small bands of malcontents had been operating. Through private telegrams of im qulry received here it was made evi­ dent that untruthful and sensational reports relating to alleged captures and assaults were in circulation in the United States. One story was to the effect that the town of Jiminez, a place of some 11.000 Inhabitants, had been assaulted and captured by revolution­ ists. At ’he Interior department and at the office- of the president "of the Mexican Central railroad the corre­ spondent was assured that the report was absolutely untrue. 49 SEVEN PERSONS Two girls, Mae Thursby of Pitts­ burg and Marie Bolden of Cleveland, had perfect scores.

Martin’s Lightning Proof, Better than Insurance* Lightning Rods ■ There is all the difference in the world in lightning rods. Some are an absolute protection, others amount to practically nothing at all. If a man wants to protect his buildings he should use the best rod. The manufacturer who makes the best rod gives you a guarantee with it. The man who makes a cheap rod, which .he himself has no faith in, will not give you a guarantee. I put up the Martin guaranteed rod at Silents per foot. If your building is struck by lightning and burned after being equipped withtUe Martin guar­ anteed rods, you get 3500 in cash. The fact that the manufacturers make this guarantee (shows that they know that their rod is an absolute protection against fire-by lightning. Now isn’t it foolish, in order to save a few dollars in rodding your building, to use a rod which neither, the man who makes it -nor the man who sells it has confidence in? If you want that kinclofa rod, I will put up the ordinary copper rod at 10 cents per foot or I will sell you the steel wire rod at 2 cents per foot, but I would much rather equip your build­ ings with the Martin guaranteed rod, which I know will protect them, and on which you get a $500 cash guarantee that your 'buildings are 'absolutely protected. Under any circumstances, do‘not allow anybody to put lightning rods on your building until you have seen me. You are invited to call and see this system demon­ strated. It is positively the only practical and safe system. ALPENPRINZ 2377 The Fine German Coach Stallion, will make the season of 1908 at the owner's barn In Nashville every day.

Bernard Johnson of Chesapeake, N. J., skinned three large coons and nailed the skins to his barn door; then he nailed this sign under the skins: “I didn’t kill these coons; my wife did.” Johnson has been aware for more than a month that there have been coons in a swamp down behind his bouse, and, within the year, has gone after them with dog and gun time and again, says the New York World. Yes­ terday at daybreak he dressed himself in his hunting clothes and went off coon hunting. His wife came down­ stairs a few hours later and found that in bls haste to be gone for coons her husband bad entirely forgotten to cut wood for the morning’s fire. 80 Mrs. Johnson went out to cut It herself. She began on a good;Blzed log, In which she found her busband's ax sticking, and, to her great sur­ prise, the log, which she had not known was hollow, flew open at the first blow of her ax To her still greater surprise, three robust coons fell out of ft. one dead from an ax blow, bet the two others very much alive. Both were in a fine fury and attacked Mrs. Johnson with­ out delay. Mrs. Johnson backed to the side of the barn, believing that the coons were more anxious t© make their es­ cape than she. But the animals, their fighting blood up, rushed at her and did their best to sink their teeth in ber flesh. She parried them as best she could with kicks, forgetting In her excitement that she still held the ax in one hand. She remembered the ax only when one of the animals sprang at her and seised the baft in his teeth. Quick as a wink Mrs. Johnson swung and dashed him against the barn before he could release his hold. Stunned, he fell to the ground. As the remaining coon came at her again, Mrs. Johnson dealt him a death blow and then dispatched his stunned companion, which was beginning to show signs of life. Johnson came running up just as the battle was over. Said bls wife, quietly: • "If you’ll please chop me some wood HI cook some coon.” Penny Pictures Are now the rage at the Studio.

At the lower end of a crooked thoroughbare called Washington street, which is in-Boston, tbe Cynic met the Politician. Tbe Cynic came of an old Boston family and lived on Beacon street Among his ancestors had been a passenger on the Mayflower, a gov­ ernor of Massachusetts, a member of the cabinet or two, and three or four diplomats. He had Inherited a fortune begun tn the flourishing days 6t the West India trade and increased with each succeeding generation. So tbe Cynic did not find it necessary to have an occupation, save that* of making clever remarks for the purpose of calling his brilliant intellect to the at­ tention of those about him. He was ths sort ot man who is described aa "Harvard Such a Year” when he mar­ ries, and “a- well-known clubman" when he dies, that being the sum total of information concerning him which the most industrious newspaper man can unearth. The Cynic said he thought American institutions wore in a most decayed state and would not last much lunger. He said also that, so far as he was concerned, they might go to the demnb tlon bow wows and welcome. And he hated womankind and said that to sup­ pose that people ever did things from other than interested motives was an absurdity unworthy any but the dens­ est mind. Now the. Politician was a different type of man. He had red blood in his veins, and all the success he enjoyed was the result of his own efforts. He had worked his way through the law school and he had pushed his way up In politics, until now he was a member of the state senate. . He was broad­ minded and sympathetic and he took an Interest in whatever was close to the heart of any element In his dis­ trict from a charity bazar to an eighthour day. The Cynic and the Politician had first met In the law school, where the "I Should Lika to Sae You Defeated." Cynic had gone to gain that legal knowledge which any man who is to possess much property should have. The Cynic said he liked to study bta fellowmen (whom he found to be for the most part Idiots) and classify them, and that the Politician Interest­ EXCURSION ed him because he was a type. % Sunday, July S, Now it chanced that election day Via Michigan Central was approaching and the Cynic, quite To Thornapple, 20c; Hastings, 25c: naturally, Inquired whether the Poli­ Grand Rapids, 70c.

The Politician laughed. "Your view Is invariably jaundiced." said he. ‘There Is ample opportunity for right-minded men In politics." Then the Politician thrust out his cheat and gazed severely at the motto on tbe front of the old state house. While he was thus engaged a rude pedestrlan-rfor even in cultured Bos­ ton the rude pedestrian exists—drove an elbow against his ribs and trod tbe polish off one of bls shoes.

"If 1 aa* another in Jeopardy, I’m afraid I should so tar forget myself as to Of­ fer a helping hand, even at the risk of—” Tbe Politician did not finish, be­ cause a noise tn the street drowned the sound of his voice A carriage, drawn by two horses, the reins hang­ ing loose, was coming rapidly down the street, and there was much help­ ful shouting on the part of bystand­ ers. A pretty girl, very much scared, clung to the seat A great wave of happiness swept over the Politician, as he realised that now the opportun­ ity* to distinguish himself had come. It would look very well in the papers next morning. and bring him some votes, which he sorely needed. He advanced toward the middle of the street and prepared to follow the di­ rections laid down in ail standard treatises on the slopping of runaway horses. But there is something very awesome In a pair of plunging horses when you approach them closely. The Politician reached forth a feeble hand, which may come within two feet of the nearest horse, and grasped a few inches of the atmosphere. Then it occurred to him that his life was tn some danger, and that tbe nation could hardly get on without his serv­ ices. So he stepped nearer tbe side­ walk. The Politician must have so far for­ gotten his senatorial dignity as to run down the street, fdr he was in Adams Square very soon after the horses came to a. stop, with tbe Cynic cling­ ing to the bridles. At any rate, he arrived In time to hear people about him observe that the Cynic bad taken a very long chance and done a note­ worthy piece of work and to see the pretty girl endeavoring to* get near enough to the Cynic to tell him how grateful she was. But the Cynic sniffed disgustedly at these paeans of praise and strode disgustedly away— that is. he would have marched away had not the ubiquitous reporter blocked his way. The man who said that the two things not to be escaped are death and taxes made a slight omission. “Your name, please." said the re­ porter. "and where do you live? Are you married’ How old are you? Have you ever saved lives before? Have you ever received a medal from a humane society? Are you a Repub­ lican or a Democrat, and what is your favorite book? Kindly arrange to have your photograph sent around to the Howler office as promptly as pos­ sible.” ’G*t out of my way." growled the Cynic. “Don't you try to palm off any of that hero business on me. What did I care for the girl? It merely hap­ pened that I wanted exercise, and I took that-means to secure IL” But the reporter held bls ground, with tbe tenacity of a man who never shirks his duty. "JThe public has a right to know,” said be. Now as the Cynic debated whether he should knock the reporter down, or turn and run away, he caught a glimpse of the Politician standing among the crowd. There was a wist­ ful look on his face and the Cynic knew what was passing in his mind. He was calculating how much brighter his chances of election would be if he stood tn the Cynic’s shoes and his name and portrait were to adorn the pages of next day’s newspapers. "Both for his own sake and the public's he ought to be defeated," re­ flected the Cynic. But even a cynic is not Invariably consistent. Then he turned again to the re­ porter' "This newspaper chap may know him." said he to himself, "but I'll take a chance." And the Cynic won again, for the newspaper man did not know, politics not being his specialty. "I’m not seeking notoriety, you un­ derstand." said the Cynic, slowly, "but there’s no use trying to evade a fel­ low like you. I’ll own up. I’m Senator Driver." Penetration of Arabia. The Mecca railroad is being con­ structed rapidly, solidly and methodi­ cally. Foreigners are employed in positions of leadership and manage­ ment. By imperial order it Is now proposed to complete the line from Medina to Mecca, a distance of 280 miles, before the next pilgrimage (1. e., in about one year), also to con­ struct a railway from Mecca to Mount Arafat, a distance of 11 miles. Mount Arafat and the religious ceremonies annually conducted there during each pilgrimage possess such ’ an Impor­ tance in the eyes of the pilgrims that they all endeavor to reach that moun­ tain ot sacraflce. Last year the num­ ber of Mecca pilgrims was officially estimated at 280,000. With the ad­ vent of the Mecca railroad the tribes in the Nejd and in the Yemen will begin feeling the Influence of modern civilization.

The greater climax came the night after. Lady Ellen had declined to ride that day. She baa business at home as the chatelaine. Consequently, po mishap had occurred during the day­ light. Lord Strathgate bad pleaded inBlsposltion and had remained at the castle also, indifferent apparently to the blackjooks of hie boat as he rode away by the side of Lady Cecily. Mis­ tress Debbie, who made not the faint­ est pretense of being interested in hounds, and who indeed cherished a (rowing sympathy for the fox, had also refused to ride in chase of Master . Reynard. Sir Charles Seton bad made aa Ineffectual effort to do likewise, only to be carried off by his host al­ most by violence and allotted to Mrs. Konbranb for the day’s sport. Krening found the party assembled in the drawingroom. Everybody was in a bad humor. Strathgate, because he bad not been able to get a word alone With his hostess; Carrington because Btrathgate bad been all day at home while ho was abroad; Lady Cecily be­ cause she had been unable to chase the frowns from her host’s brow; Mrs. MonbranU because Sir Charles Baton had ahown himself a distraught and indifferent cavalier, and the duke And duchess because while they had plenty to eat and drink, their hostess' scruples had prevented play; General Athelstrong for the same reason, and Admiral Kephard because he saw everybody playing at cross purposes. Debbie was wretched because her Se­ ton bad been appropriated to -another. The only serene one apparently was Lady Ellen. When the men Joined the women in the drawingroom after the late supper, it was she herself who proposed cards. “But I thought, my dear child," be­ gan Lady Cecily with covert malice in voice and manner/ “that you did not approve of the—er—wicked little pasteboards." ’’I have been converted by”—EHen looked around—"by Lord Strathgate’s arguments this afternoon.” Lord Btrathgate had not made any arguments that afternoon, but he was too clever not to follow my lady’s lead. "You flatter me. dear Lady Carring­ ton." he. murmured, with a knowing glance that made Carrington want to kill him then and there. "Fore Gad,” said the duke, "I never knew that St/athgate could convert anything." "There are no limits to bls powers Of depravity," said Mrs. Monbrant, lightly. "Jtodam, If 1 were flattered before, I am'overwhelmed now," returned the earl, bowing gravely. "To be so approved by the voice of authority is enough to turn even Lord Btrathgate's head.” commented Ellen, quickly. "Ha! ha!" cackled General Athelatrong. softly, "she had her there." "Why all this talk that means noth­ ing,” said the duchess, "so long aa Lady Carrington permits play, we are wasting time. Carrington, you have cards?" ".Plenty,” ejaculated my lord, fierce­ ly, turning to a cabinet and bringing out several packs still in their wrappera "Egad!" chuckled Athelstrong, "you were prepared for your wife's conver­ sion, were you?" ' “Certainly,” returned Carrington through hie teeth. "When Strathgate applied himself to the task at which 1 had failed. I knew that be would suc­ ceed. Having marked the course of events. I sent to town for the cards and they are here.” "EHen,” whispered Debbie, “you are not going to let them play, are you?*’ *Tm going to play myself," returned EHen recklessly in a loud, clear voice. "But. my dear Lady Carrington, you don't know one card from another," expostulated the admiral who had ob­ served with dismay the course of •vents. "Sir Charles Seton will teach me," returned Ellen, quickly. "With pleasure, your ladyship,” said Sir Charles. "But you promised.” said Deborah artlessly, turning to that gallant young •oldler, "to show me that rare old edi­ tion of Richard Baxter In the Ubrary.” "Baxter, the Saint's Rest!" snick­ ered Athelstrong. "Good Lord, she's got him there.” "It doesn't make the least hit of-dif­ ference.

"I agree with you. madam. There you honor me,”, returned Carrington "And ‘tin so unfortunate that the partnership shall be of so short dura­ tion." continued my lady. "O»e never knows," laughed Lady Cecily airily, "how long a game lasts or what the result until it is played to the end." "Mrs. Monbrant."

"You will forgive me, Lady Carving ton?” said Sir Charles with another vivid blush, turning to his hostess, amid the general mockery. "I am glad to see you go, Sir Charles,” returned Ellen. "There are other books in the library of a similar char­ acter which you two will enjoy look­ ing at, are there not, CarringtonT' "I suppose there are, madam, al­ though I have never read them.” "It would doubtless improve your morals if you should.” returned Lady Ellen swiftly. "He! he!" exclaimed General Athel­ strong, "my lady’s in fine wit to­ night” "And by Gad, your manners too," growled the duke, "but come, let us play." "Lady Carrington, your instruction awaits you." said the earl, bowing. "On second thought. Lord Strath­ gate," returned Ellen, “I don't believe 1 feel equal to learning a new game." "Have your religious scruples re­ turned. Lady Carrington." exclaimed Lady Cecily, insinuatingly, "or are you afraid of losing money?" "My dear child—" began Mrs. Mon­ brant superciliously. "1 will cut the cards with you. Lady Cecily, or you. Mrs. Monbrunt, this Instant for a thousand pounds and then we will see which of us is afraid." returned Ellen with wonderful composure. "You are mad.” began Carrington, as the two ladies addressed shrank back in dismay. “Your pardon, my lord, I am ad­ dressing your friends, not you. Do either of you ladies take me? No? Is there anyone then who wishes to tempt fortune in this way? You only play for money and not for the game, I understand. Duke, wilt you cut me for a thousand pounds? N6?

Here was play rington, almost beside himself in the such as they had read about but had Situation’ ■ j not witnessed or participated in. “Immediately, Immediately!" began "Ellen." said Carrington, suddenly, the duke, fingering the pasteboards. "you shall not do this thing. It la _ "Shall you and I by partners, Car- madness.” "Must I remind my husband that I play with my own money?" answered Ellen viciously. That remark was received in a dead silence, broken presently by a sneer­ ing laugh from Lady Cecily . which cut through Carrington like a knife. His clenched hand went into his bos­ om, but by a violent effort he mas­ tered himself. “I shall stand by yon,"lie said to his wifeq/’with your permission, and see fair play.” ' ‘ ‘ •'Ey God, sir!” cried Btrathgate, springing to his feet, "does that mean—F’ “It means nothing but that a hus­ band's place is by his wife's side when she ventures fortune, reputation or— honor," returned my lord, very high and mighty. “Perchance we may play another game when this is ended, Carrington," said Strathgate fiercely. "At -your service for any, stake with any counters," returned the other smoothly. "Sit down,, you fools." cried the duchess promptly interfering to pre­ vent the imminent outbreak, "and let’s have the game.” "Madam,” said Strathgate present­ ing the‘pack, "will you cut first?" Ellen lifted the top card. “The four of hearts,” she exclaimed. " Tls a low card, madam," said Btrathgate smoothly, “but hearts is the ladles’ suit" "And men's pursuit.” laughed El­ len merrily. “Try your fortune, my lord." "The three of spades.” said Strath­ gate, turning a card. "The thousand pounds to yours and I am the richer in your triumph, madam,” be added, bowing gracefully. "Two thousand pounds against two of yours, for another cut, my lord," said Ellen. “At your pleasure, madam." re­ turned the earl, who was as reckless and > venturesome a gambler as ever entered the game. “The knave of hearts,” said Ellen, turning her card. "The unmannerly ace of clubs takes in custody your knave." returned Strathgate after making bis cut. “And how stand we now, my lord?*'. “I have won a thousand pounds to my misfortune,” returned Strath­ gate. . "Once more, and this time for £8.000." “I cannot disoblige a lady.” returned Strathgate smiling, although his face was growing somewhat pale. Surely this was play.such as be had never ventured upon. "Ellen, stop!" cried Carrington, dropping his hand upon her shoul­ der. "My lord, you hurt my shoulder. Thank you." she added as he removed his hand. •The cards were cut again, and once more Strathgate won. Ellen found herself £4,000 in his debt. "My lady." said Old Admiral Kep­ hard, "you have shown your pluck and courage. God forbid that any here should ever dispute IL Have you not cjone enough for the honor of America and your house now?" “I like the game,” returned Ellen calmly. •Tt Interests me. Had 1 known the fascination of it before? I had played long since. Unless my lord Stratbgate is weary—" "Madam. 1 could play with you for­ ever for any stake,"-returned Strath­ gate. utterly oblivious of the frightful glance shot at him by Carrington. "'Tls £4,000 then. Would you see it on the board T* "Your word Is sufficient for me," re­ piled Strathgate gravely. Again Ellen lost and found herself In debt £8,000. “Five thousand pounds the stake now," cried my lady, cutting once more. "Five thousand pounds, madam." said Strathgate, very white and follow­ ing suit. And this time Ellen won. "How stands tbe score now?" "You owe me £3,000," said Btrath­ gate. "Correct!" cried the old duke. “By Gad. this is interesting!" "Once more and now for £6,000 pounds.” said Ellen, her face flushed with excitement. The room was now n still as death. Save for the deep breathing of the men and the gritting of teeth upon the part of Carrington, there was not a sound except for the voices of the two players. Ellen's luck was with her and this time she won. "And now," she said, “the score to tn my favor.” “Tea, madam, for £8,000." “Do you wish to quit now, my lord?" "Never," said tbe earl. “I will play with you to the extent of my fortune.” "I don't promise to go that far at this round.” answered Ellen. "I'm new at the game, and 1 do not wish to play out my whole fortune at the first trial." “As you please, madam. The game shall stop when you say. What shall the wager be now?*’ "Seven thousand pounds," cried Ellen. ~ And this time fortune was against her, for my lord of Btrathgate won. “'Fore God, the score weaves like a see-saw," cried Gen. Athelstrong. “Now she owes him £4,000.” "EHen,” said Carrington, desperate­ ly, "I bee you to atop now.” "Is Lord Carrington afraid his wife will lose all her money?” deftly Inter­ posal Btrathgate. sneering. “Lord Btrathgate," said Ellen quickly, “confine your attention to me. Yoe play with me, not my husband. Stand back, Carrington,” she went on hotly to her husband, choking with rage at tbe double insult in bls guest’s question. "You taunted me as a Puri­ tan and a Quaker, and you _have all Jeered and mocked at me. TH show you that I can play and lose or win with ^ha best of you."' Back and forth the wagers went with varying fortune between the two until after half an hour's fierce and uninterrupted play Ellen found herself in Strathgate’s debt for £30,000, ad easily is money lost upon tbe turning of a card. “My lord,” she said, rising and calm­ ly pushing the cards from her, “that is as much ready money as I have at my banker's. When I play, I pay. What are those things of which I have heard you speak, *L O. TJ.*s' do they call them? Will some one show me how to make one out? The money shall be paid you in the morning.” “Give no thought to that, my lady,’3’ cried Btrathgate. “It was but an idle pleasantry, our play, and I am ready to cancel tbe obligation and let the evening go as it it were not." “No, by heaven!” cried Carrington, “when my wife loses she pays." “Thia" said Ellen, “is a needless interruption. I.have never had the faintest intention of falling to do so. Have you written the '1. O. U.T Thank you, duke," she continued aa the old man handed her a paper on which he had scribbled. “Are the figures right? Yes, £20.000." She hastily wrote her name at ths bottom of the document and handed it to Stratbgate with a gracious bow. Even Jealous, maddened Carrington admitted that she was a gallant loser. "Now the rest of you may play as you will," she said, smiling gayly upon them. "Our little game seems small be­ side thxL” said the duchess. "YouTe right,” assented the gen­ eral. "L vote we put away the cards and have ■ a dance." interrupted Lady Cecily, who felt very much put out at having been so easily driven from the center of the stage by her hostess. "Wait!" said Carrington, who stood stupefied during the transaction. "Strathgate and I will play a game.” - "Indeed. I think you have done it all along." said Admiral Kephard sotto voce. "Whatever game you Uke, Carring­ ton.” replied Btrathgate. “Ill match you for that I. O. U. of my wife’s." “Good," said Strathgate coolly, “wnat do you offer to set up against itr "Carrington ball.

The manufacturer who makes the best rod gives you a guarantee with i*. The man who makes a cheap rod, which he himself has no faith in, will not give you a guarantee. I put up the Martin guaranteed rod at 15 cents per foot. If your building ia struck by lightning and burned after being equipped with the Martin guar^ anteed rods, you get 8500 in cash. The fact that the manufacturers make thia guarantee (shows that they knew that their rod is an absolute protection against fire by lightning.

If you want that kind of a rod, I will put up the ordinary copper rod at 10 cents per foot or I will sell you the steel wire rod at 2 cents per foot, but I would much rather equip your build­ ings with the Martin guaranteed rod, which I knew will protect them, and on which you get a >500 cash gas ran tec that your buildings are absolutely .protected.

The immense structure, beautifully decorated, was filled to its utmost capacity and presented a stirring eight ’ For hoars the delegates and spectators had been filing through the doors and the long wait was made pleasant by a band concert Mr. Taggart did not speak at any length, but soon called up Theodore A. Bell of California and introduced tlm as temporary chairman. Mr. Bell then began the delivery of his "key­ note” address, which was all that William J. Bryan could desire and aroused immense enthusiasm among his hearers. Last Day's Development Above the hubbub of the last strenouous day before the convention, these main developments stood out promi­ nently: The wave of Bryan sentiment In­ creased to apparently overwhelming and irresistible proportion, and the nomination of the Nebraskan seems now assured beyond any reasonable doubt; unless some unlooked-for rever­ sal of present conditions occurs. All efforts to unite on a vice-presi­ dential candidate have proved futile, and the convention will begin Its delib­ erations with the contest for second place wide open. Pennsylvanians Defy Bryan. A majority of the Pennsylvania dele­ gation in caucus named Col. James M. Guffey as national corhmitteeman. In open defiance of Mr. Bryan's demand for his displacement, and on the heels of Guffey's stinging public arraign­ ment of Bryan as a "hypocrite. Ingrate and falsifier." A minority of the Penn­ sylvania delegation held a rump cau­ cus which sought to depose Guffey from the leadership and Install James Kerr, a Bryan man, as Pennsylvania’s leader. The New York delegation appointed a committee of ten to draft a platform and named Judge Alton B. Parker, the Democratic standard-bearer of 1904, as the New York representative on the platform committee. The New York caucus was silent on the presidential and vice-presidential situation and New York still falls to show her colors. . The Democratic national committee held its first meeting to consider con­ tests, which resulted In the dismissal of Senator McCarren’s New York con­ tests and the seating of Roger Sulli­ van* Illinois delegates. ■ Bryan’s Strength Grows. The foregoing are only the main fea­ tures of an eventful day—a day marked by the culmination of that noisy demonstration which ushers in a national convention, with delegations and their hosts of followers pouring Into town, with bands and marching clubs vielng in turbulent demonstra­ tion. and with streets aud hotel lobbies filled with surging crowds. Amid all this confusion the men of action have worked unceasingly. Most of tbe states effected their organization, electing members of the committees. Aside from the many private confer­ ences over candidates and platform, the day was one of preparation and business detail for the coming assem­ blage. . The arrivals during the day and Monday night practically completed the roster of state delegations and gave an idea of the aggregate strength commanded by the Bryan forces. There has been a continuous swelling of the Bryan boom and only scattering accessions for other candidates. This became so apparent that the nomina­ tion of Mr. Bryan seems assured, not only by the required two-thirds vote of the convention, bat bjj practically a unanimous vote, except that of Minne­ sota and Delaware, whose representa­ tives still Insist they will be steadfast to the end to their favorite sons, and scattering antl-Bryan votes from Georgia, New York.

Had Been III for Months—Sketch -of HIs Long Career as Editor, War Correspondent and Writer on Na­ tional Political Topics. Cincinnati. July 3—Murat Halstead, one of the leaders in American jour­ nalism for over half a century and widely known as a vigorous editorial and magazine writer, died at his home in this city Thursday afternoon, in his seventy-ninth year. At his bedside were his wife, his son Robert and one daughter, Mrs. Ar­ thur Stem. Mr. Halstead had been falling In strength for several months and Wednesday suffered from cerebral hemorrhage. His physicians Thursday morning told the family that death was simply a question of hours and those of the family at a distance were at once notified. Mr. and Mrs. Halstead celebrated their golden wedding anniversary a little more than a year ago. at which time Mr. Halstead's health seemed frail, and as time passed he grew weaker, so that the news of bis death was not wholly unexpected. Broken by Son's Death. The sudden death of bls son Mar­ shall a few months ago was a severe shock to him and is believed to have had an adverse effect on his health, being the first break In- the family. Albert Halstead, another son. is American consul at Birmingham. England, and other members of the family are scattered throughout the country. Mr. Halstead was one of the great editors of the last half of the nine­ teenth century, and one of the strong­ est tributes to his Incisiveness as a writer was in 1889 when his nomina­ tion by President Ha^ison to be American minister to Germany was re­ jected by the United States senate because of articles he had published charging corruption to some members of that bo'dy. * His Career In Journalism. He was a native of Butler county, O., and after a short service on a lit­ erary weekly, he In 1853 became con­ nected with the Cincinnati Commer­ cial, in which he secured a small In­ terest a year later, becoming chief owner In 1865. Nearly 20 years later his paper was consolidated with the Gazette and he was editor-in-chief of the combined newspapers until years afterwards when another consolidation was. effected, new owners securing control. • For a time he was editor of the Brooklyn Standard-Union, and during the last ten years he has figured largely as a magazine and special newspaper writer, besides Issuing a number of books on current matters of historical interest. In the civil war Mr. Halstead personally reported many battles, being rated as a war corre­ spondent of tbe first class, and later in the Franco-German war and also In the Spanish-American war be added to his reputation In that line. For 50 years he attended and re­ ported all Republican national con­ ventions and in 1860 he was the only newspaper man who reported all the varied political conventions of that year.

Commander Peary's ex­ ploring ship, the Roosevelt, left the pier at East Twenty-fourth street at one o'clock Monday for the Initial^ stage of her journey toward the north pole. Over 14,000 was lacking in. the estimate the’explorer made some time ago of the smallest amount of tfioney necessary for . another attempt, to place tbe stars and stripes over the geographical point never before reached by human beings. "I haven't tbe supplies and equip­ ment I would like to have," declared Commander Peary, "but still I think we will be able to pull through. With my experience and knowledge of the coun­ try up there, I think the expedition is prepared for three years In the arctic regions, if conditions are favorable, and I .have no bad luck. I will, have, of course, to depend upon getting a good amount of wild game for food, which I would not be so dependent upon if I could obtain all the provi­ sions I expected to have." On board the commander's ship Monday afternoon, In addition to tbe 22 men making up the expedition, were members of the Peary Arctic club and a party of Invited guests. A government tug from tbe navy yard conducted the Roosevelt to an anchorage off City island and brought the party of passengers back to the city.

BIG FIRE AT PORT AU PRINCE. Courthouse.

Frederick J Melding of San Antonio. Tex.. which, piloted by Capt H. E. Honeywell, de­ scended to the earth Sunday at 5 p. m. at West Shefford, Que. All of the nine balloons in the great International race which started in Chicago descended safely, but many thrilling escapes were reported. The Ville de Dieppe dragged Its car in Lake Michigan. The Illinois alighted in Lake Ontario. The crew of the Col­ umbia was cut and bruised in descend­ ing in Canada Unofficial Figures. Fred T. Bailey, assistant promoterof the aerial race, after studying five different maps, Sunday night estimat­ ed that the distance traveled by the Fielding-San Antonio was 895 miles. This distance would break the Pommere's record of 872 miles. However, the figures are In doubt. Probably the United States and Canadian govern­ ments will be asked to measure the flight of the winning balloon. The unofficial figures on the flight of the balloons were as follows: Fielding-San Antonio—West Shef­ ford, Quebec. 895 miles. Illinois—Bay of - Qulnte, Lake On­ tario. 545 miles. Chicago—West Monkton, Ontario, 522 miles. American—Carsonville. Mich., 402 miles. •** * United States—Pinkerton, Ontario, 388 miles. Cincinnati—Covert, Mich., 350 miles. King Edward—Port Huron.

While there is some doubt as to the exact length of the Flelding-San An­ tonio's flight, she was able to keep the air a trifle less than seven hours longer than her nearest rival, the Illi­ nois. and was easily the winner of the contest The two balloons had followed an almost parallel course during their long flight in tbe air, and both were sighted from Picton, Ont., at 11:30 o'clock In the morning. Shortly after­ ward the Illinois was seen to plunge rapidly downward. Immediataly be­ low her stretched the expanse of the Bay of Qulnte, on Lake Ontario. The car's pilot, J. I* Case, and his assist­ ant C. H. Perrigo, emptied sand des­ perately in an attempt to keep the balloon In the air, but her flight was over and their efforts proved futile. The men were plunged into the wa­ ters of the bay. whence they were res­ cued by the crew of a pleasure craft. French Balloon’s Narrow Escape. The most spectacular features of the long-distance event, however, were furnlshed^by the French balloon. Ville de Dieppe, and the Columbia. The oc­ cupants of both escaped death by so narrow a margin that if the flight were considered from that viewpoint alone It would be notable. The Ville de Dieppe fell into Lake Michigan at a point about three miles directly off the west shore and her pi­ lot. CapL A. E. Mueller, with his 15yeap-old assistant. George Schoeneck, battled in the darkness for three-quar­ ters of an hour, half-submerged in the water. By a display of extraordinary coolness and skill Capt. Mueller con­ trived to save his own life and that of the boy and to bring his balloon ashore Intact. To do this he sacrificed every ounce of ballast, cast loose his anchor and his ground rope, and took his chances In the upper air, knowing that he must later make a landing in the darkness.

Throughout many of the northern states the freezing of wells and pumps causes much trouble, and the greatest difficulty is experienced tn keeping some of the wells open tor use during the winter. Strangely enough, the shallow, open wells give less trouble than the deeper, drilled or double­ tubed driven wells, in which the inner or pump tube is carried below the pat­ er casing. The determination of the cause of the freezing and of means for its prevention is of so great prac­ tical importance that a study of the subject has been made by one of the geologists of the United States geolog-' leal survey. ’ The freezing of wells is practically confined to districts whore the air tem peratures frequently go considerably below zero and where tho materials penetrated are either porous or con­ tain' actual openings and passages through which the air can circulate. A recent investigation of the wells of Maine, a large number of which are in granite, slates and other compact, close-grained rocks, discovered no 1a* stances of deep* freezing. In Minne­ sota, North Dakota and Nebraska, on the other hand, large numbers of wells penetrating porous deposits or cavernojis limestones, freeze every win­ ter. In Wisconsin and Michigan freezing, though leu common, occaslonaliy occurs, and also In.Iowa, Mis­ souri, Kentucky and Indiana. Many of the simpler devices adopted to prevent freezing- are complete fail­ ures, while others are partially suc­ cessful. The inherent difficulty lies in the construction of the well. Tbe following suggestions are made by the geologist: In open wells, where air obtains ac­ cess threagh the soil and at tbe junc­ tion of curb and cover, a cement cover should be tightly fitted to the curb, and the curb Itself should be coated with cement for some distance below the surface. In drilled or double-tubed driven .yells the current of cold air drawn in at periods of high barometer between the outer and, inner casing near the surface and passing out In a porous bed at the bottom above the water level will cause freezing If the water is pumped so that it stands In the inner tube above the lower end of the outer casing; and a long-continued current of such cold air may cause freezing of the ground water about and In the well tube. For thia condi­ tion. says the Farmers’ Voice, it Is sug­ gested that the space between the out­ er and inner tube near the surface be packed with some impervious mate­ rial. A filling of cement resting on an Improvised plug Is probably the most effective. The home-made rag pack­ ing sometimes used is too porous to serve the purpose. The same treatment Is suggested for wells with leaky casings, for driv­ en wells passing through rocks porous enough to permit the passage of large currents of chilled air during periods of high barometer, and for wells in which the outer casing ends in some cavern or open passage; that is. the space between the well tube and the pump tube near the surface should be tightly plugged with impervious ma­ terial. About some wells the ground crevices through which the air circu­ lates are so numerous that Immunity from freezing can be obtained only by plugging the space about the pump tube from top to bottom with cement.

Down in a little hamlet called Wanatah, in the common^ealth of Indiana, on the twentieth day ot October, 1857, the neighbors of Mr. and Mrs. Gottieib Zuschnitt heard Teutonic “squawks” emanating from tbe latter’s humble shack at an early hour in the morning, and the neighbor women, armed with their proverbial Curiosity, soon discovered tbe cause swaddled in a bundle of woolen cloths. As soon as the father and mother be­ came thoroughly acquainted with the new-comer they proceeded to adorn him with the title of Henry, and~th4> “handle”, like the map of the German empire which was imprinted on his face, has clung to him since, yet he comes pretty regularly when you call "Hank.” When be reached the age of six he had become pretty tired of the slow, lazy life of Indiana and bundled .hi* father and mother and divers brothers and sisters and some other kin into a'railroad car and landed them at Ionia some several days hence. The unknown magnet that drew so many of these-sturdy Germans to the township of Woodland, this county, got its drawing propensities in working order and they were soon land­ ed in that township and with the other pioneers began clearing the forests, building houses and barns, erecting fences and stir­ ring up the most productive soil that God ever deposited on the earth. For about twelve years Henry kept watdi of the old brindle cow, which bad been added to the family soon after their arrival In this county, and at odd times absorbed what xneigre learning he could get at the old log school iiuuse. It would not be honest here to state that Henry was a good boy in school, for the writers of fiction have long since used up all of that kind of material; neither would it be fair to the other boys to say that Henry learned faster than other boys, but it is fair to state that what he did learn be learned well, and aided by .a good memory, kept intact the things that were taught him in tbe old log school house so well that a college education has not been necessary to place his name icr the ranks of those who have made the best of this life in its every phase. He was just an ordin­ ary boy with freckled face, stone bruises and colic, and was want to chew shoemaker’s wax. (His father was a cobbler.) Nn great events transpired during these twelve years to mould his future, change his looks or get his name in the papers, nothing. but just the ordinary lazy routine of the country lad at the age when there’s nothing but a silver lining to every cloud. As he neared the age of hair oil and love dreams there came to him, as it comes to all boys of that age, a feeling that he should get out and do something for himself, and he came to Nashville and “touched ’ C. C. Wolcott for a job. Mr. Wolcott was the pro­ prietor of a hardware store where Mr. C. L. Glasgow now runs the same business, and Mr. Zuschnitt, when he recalls the inci­ dent of himself asking Wolcott for a job, can call to his mind's eye the picture of the greenest Dutch boy that ever came to town, and withall the happiest boy in the world when on tbe 16th day of August, 1875, Mr. Wolcott said the word that gave him the job that he has held ever since v^thout a skip. He remained with Mri Wolcott until he sold out to C L. Glasgow, which was in August, 1881, and with the business went Henry, although we doubt if the bill pf sale included that item. Thus he has been busy every minute, you might say, in one store for the past 33 years and we know that there are few men in the state who can show that record. When the Evangelical church was organized in 1886, Mr. Zuschnitt was elected secretary of the society and he has held the position ever since, with the exception of two years, and he has been on the board of trustees of the church ever since it was organized, and has been one of the moving spirits in its great advancement. He belongs to the Odd Felr lows and Knights of Pythias lodges, in which orders he has filled nearly all the'chairs with credit to the orders and to him­ self as well. He was master of finance of Ivy lodge', K. of P., for ten consecutive years and was treasurer of the Odd Fellows lodge of the village for several yeairs. He was raised a repub­ lican and is.one of tbe wheel-horses of that party in this section. In the spring of 1888 he was elected to the clerkships of the vil­ lage and township and held the. offices for several years, when he was compelled to relinquish them on account of tbe increased business of his employer, which Mr. Zuschnitt felt was demand­ ing all of his attention. He served one year ar president of the village and has been a trustee for several years. He is so thor­ oughly conversant with tbe business of the village that be hva it practically “on the end of his tongue” and serves pretty well as a village encyclopedia. On the council he is honest in his con­ victions and does things as be thinks they should be done, and of all of those who have served the people in the various ‘posi­ tions, none have given more faithful service to the people than Henry C. Zuschnitt. About seven years after he came to Nash­ ville he was united in marriage to Miss Carrie Velte of Wood­ land, on January 22,1883, by Rev. G. S. Banks, and they com­ menced housekeeping at once in the house where they now live and where they have lived ever since, which by careful attention and pride they have made one of the pretty places of th*, village. The union has been blessed with one daughter, Cecil, aged four­ teen years. JAMES TRAXLER, Dray log and Transfers. All kinds of light and heavy moving promptly and carefully done.

The One night a tragedy occurred. Joe Junction meant business. Every wire was a heavy one. Mixley liked it He Mixley found the chief operator at Minnie's house talking girl talk. Joe might not be as well educated as tbe rest but he knew the keys and what left him there. Joe went back to his boarding and spent another they said. The music of the keys sleepless house night . was the only music for him"An* all the time," be told himself, "Gee," thought Joe Mixley one day "I thought ..." when he had been at the Junction for । a couple of weeks—"Gee, I'll have to .

If the rest didn't talk, why he wouldn’t, either. He believed in dis­ cipline. But be had to have a chew. He glanced about at the chief opera­ tor. That gentleman was looking the other way. A new idea occurred to Joe Mixley. He thought it would be good to talk to Bill Alling for a while. He waited until there was.a lull. Then he began on bls own account “KN—KN—KN." bo called. Finally he got Bill—good old BUI. “Gee, Bill," he ticked off softly, so the rest of the crowd could not hear it—“Gee, but I If he could talk to Bill, why, he could talk to others nearer. He looked at the man next him. The man was doing nothing save—chewing tobacco. "Call JC—One, Bill,” ticked Joe in a telegraphic whisper, "and tell him that Joe Mixley alongside wants a chew of tobacco bad. All right, old man. Good-by.'* Now, It so happened that the incom­ ing message was not so silent aa tho outgoing one bad been. "JC—Ore,” it said, “give Joe Mixley a chew of tobacco—he's dyin’ for a smelh” The man next to Joe jumped in his seat as though shot Tbe room had heard it—all save the chief opera­ tor, and a snicker ran about the place. Everybody looked at Joe, and every­ body looked at the man next Well might the room smile, for Joe Mixley had wired 500 miles for a chew of tobacco, when the chew be wanted was within five feet Joe looked about the room with sat­ isfaction. He felt all right now. Then there was a click-click, and he beard Keno calling him. He listened. And this is what came to him over his own wire: "You mustn't chew tobacco. It is a filthy weed. JC—Six. JC—Six." The rest of the crowd had lost IL for business was booming once more and everybody was busy. But Joe Mixley flushed to the roots of his hair. Then he glanced afar to the left. There was the swell little girl look­ ing at him—Minnie Jenkinson. She had sent the message to him via big Bill at Keno, and it had come back to Joe Mixley straight as a die. "Ton mustn't chew tobacco." Joe looked at her and flushed deep­ er. She meant business, anyhow. That was certain. Before he knew IL Joe found him­ self removing the vile, filthy, comfort­ able cud from his mouth, and—dispos­ ing of It "Gee,” thought Joe, ’If she don’t want me to chew, why, I won't chew. That’s all." He began to shave every other day. He brushed his clothes. He fixed his hair. He spruced up. He didn't know why exactly—them other fellers did it and he s'posed he'd have to keep up with the crowd. Maybe the company’d Uke him better if he’d look better, anyhow. . . . But he wouldn't chew tobacco no more. No'p. . . . He often thought of Bill. If Bill could set them shows uowa to the Alham- had made up his mind to go, the very next nigbL and ask her. She'd say “No,” of course. -But he’d ask her, if be died a-doin* it It was five o'clock before be made up his mind that be must have a chew if he was going to keep bls courage up to-nlghL And yet if he chewed she wouldn't have him. . . . He didn’t know exactlj what to do. Anyhow, he'd call up big Bill, aad bear Bill talk, for he liked Bill’s sharp, elean-cut clicks. ‘ "Hello, Bill," he began gently. Then be stopped. Then the idea that capped the climax—that out-ideaed all the other ideas—came to him. Ilka a stroke of lightning out of a clear "Say, Bill,” be clicked with sudden energy. Minnie Jenkinson, the swell little girl, was glancing for an instant out of the window, when she heard her signal: "JC—JC—Six” She didn’t usual. She knew the touch of opera­ tors for miles around This was so self. "Minnie," it whispered cllckingly— "Minnie—I—can't — ask — you — no —other— way—. Will you marry me, swell little girl?” The key had spoken the last words in a stentorian voice, like an instrument that wm des­ perate and had to talk loud and in a hurry or not at all. The other operators hardly snickered — they thought she was taking down a mes­ sage ki the way of business; one that was quite an every-day affair, a pro­ posal by wire. But she knew. The message had come by way of Keno. But Bill had not sent it, or even in­ tercepted It. He had connected Joe Mixley to her wire, and the words had come direct. She blushed tike an American beauty—which she was. Then she turned her face suddenly toward Joe. She nodded "Tea." Joe's answer was quite up to date—li came by wireleaa, not by wire. That night be went up, and . . . well, for the first time, Joe Mixley found himself talking swell girl talk to the very swellest kind of a swell girt And ... oh, well, what's tho use?

It Is the One Which Gives Beet Con­ ditions for Flock. The best poultry house is the one that will give the best conditions tor the care of the poultry during the win­ ter. There are several things that must be considered In any model poultry house. The first of these is light There needs to be an aboundance of light; for It la probably true that good health is not possible in a dark poultry house with Just one lit­ tle window to let In light perhaps from the north side. There needs to be windows on three sides of the house; if possible, on every side except the north. There should be a window in the east and west ends of the building and a big one or several small ones on the south aide. As to whether there should be a big one or several small one depends on the conditions to Be met with in the poultry house. Reollg the best poultry house, de­ clares Farmers' Voice, is the one that is eo built and so located that It can be kept dry throughout the entire winter. This matter of dryness is of ■ueh Importance that it may well be doubted if good success Is possible without it The location of the house on land that Is well drained Is essen­ tial, and if there is eot a natural lo­ cation near the barns one can be made by piling coal ashes or cinders around the house to keep ths level above the water line. The good poultry house will have Inside of It all movable figures to facilitate the cleaning and to make It possible to sterilise the roosts, nests and other furniture. How about watermelon? We have the biggest ones at the smallest price. The real genuine old southern kind—-the kind that “Mose” would die for. Bardara coffee, twentv cents a pound. A pound of’ it will make a tub full of the iipeeial “blue ribbon” brew, ana it is warranted to satisfy that burn­ ing thirst that is rampant in the neck'o the woods just now. Chas.

Some are aa absolute protection, others amount to practically nothing at all. If a .man wants fo protect his buildings he should use the best rod. The manufacturerwho makes the best rod gives you a guarantee with it. The man who makea a cheap rod, which he himself has no faith in, will not give you a guarantee. I put up the Martin guaranteed rod at 15 cents per foot. If your building la­ struck by lightning and burned after being equipped with the Martin guar­ anteed rods, you get 1500 in cash. The fact that the manufacturers make thia guarantee (shows that they know that their rod is an absolute protection, against fire by lightning. Now isn’t It foolish, in order to save a few dollara. in rodding your building, to use a rod which neither the man who makes it. nor the man who sells it has confidence in? If you want that kind of a rod, I will put up the ordinary copper rod at 10 cents per foot or I will sell you thesteel wire rod at 2 cents per foot, but I would much rather equip your build­ ings with the Martin guaranteed rod,, which I kaow will protect them, and on which you get a >500 caab guarantee thatybur buildings are absolutely protected. Under any circumstances, do not allow anybody to put lightning rods on your building until you have seen me. You are invited to call and see this system demon­ strated. It is positively the only practical and safe system. C. J. Scheldt �III SECOND PUCE NMD 81 MIN INTERNATIONAL CONTESTS ARK OPINED IN LONDON BY KING EDWARD. American Athletes Win—Two In Final of. the 1,500-Meter Race—Remark­ able Time Made by Hallows of Oxford. London. July 14.—Rain Interfered badly Monday with the opening of the fourth international Olympic games by the king at the stadium at Shepherd's Bush, and although it cleared off be­ fore the hour set for‘'the formal cere­ mony.' the attendance fell short of ex­ pectations. . The seating capacity of the stadium la upwards of 70,000, and while the covered stands contained sections which were well filled, there were many vacant spaces. In facL 1? it had not been for the American and colonial contingents, which were there to cheer their respective countrymen, and the sections around the royal box. which were occupied by society, it would have been a very small affair ■o far as attendance was concerned. In some of the events, too. the con­ testants appeared affected by the ad­ verse weather conditions, but in other events, particularly the. 1,500-n^eter race, in which the. greatest Interest centered, the men were up to their form and twice during tne afternoon the record for the distance was smashed. Sheppard Beata Team Mate. Melvin W. Sheppard of the IrishAmerican Athletic club of New York was the first to accomplish the trick when, in the second heat, pressed hard by his team mate, J. P. Halstead of the New York’ Athletic -club, he ran the distance in the splendid time of 4:05, just 2-5 of a second faster than that made by J. D. Lightbody of the Uni­ versity of Chicago at the Olympic games at St. Louis in 1904. The two Americans in-this heat beat a number of good men. including G. Butterfield, the English four-mile champion, who finished a bad third. J. P. Sullivan of the Irish-American A. C.,-and Lightbody, who were first and second respectively In the first heat of this event, took longer to cover the distance, but they were not pressed, and doubtless could have done better If It had been necessary. Mead­ ows ot Canada set out to make the pace th this event, but Lightbody went to the front in the stretch and seemed a likely winner until Sullivan, with a fine burst of speed, passed him a few yards from the tape. Oxford Man's Great Performance. The beat performance of the day, however, was that of M. F._ Hallows, an Oxford blue, who cut a full two seconds off the record, much to the surprise of everybody, as Hallows al­ ways has been at hla best at the three miles, and 1.50P meters was consid­ ered too Short for him. He Is now thought to be the most serious rival of the Americans in the final of this evenL which will be run Tuesday. Through their defeat by Sheppard and Shlllvan, Halstead and Lightbody failed to qualify. H. L. Coe of the University of Michigan made a strong bld for victory in the fourth heat, but he was unable to keep up with E. V. Loney of England, although the time was not particularly brilliant. Coe finished second. The only other American in the race. F. H. Riley of the Irish-American A. C., ran unplaced in his heat, the third, which was that in which Hallows made the record, e SfWllNERS MEET IN ST. PAUL. Thirty-Fourth Annual Conclave of the Order Opened. SL Paul. Minn..

MUNRO, BET^}?.THe Someone ha* said that the mainten­ ance of a macadam road ahould begin on the day the road is completed. Id a aenae this statement is not far from the truth. It is usually not necessary to do much to the macadam surface for a year or two. but the gutters, catch basins and culverts must be kept clean, the weeds along the roadsidso cut or. preferably, pulled out by the roate, and the small guineas In the shoulders and on the slopes filled be­ fore they become too large. It is quite possible, particularly If the road was built in the fall of the year and trap rock was used, that loose stones will appear on the surface the first spring after the road is opened to travel., These need not alarm tbe road official. They ahould be picked up and stacked for future use. It is astonishing how a few loose stones on the surface of a mac­ adam road will have the appearance of a great number," so that the unin­ formed always think, and frequently state, that tbe road la going to pieces. It is a fact that often such stones will disappear Into the macadam after the first r'alD. Of course the macadam will become worn in time and need repair. No one can state accurately how much of the macadam surface will wear off in a given time. The dictum, beard so often, that the macadam will wear down one-half inch in a year's use Is a fallacy.' The length of life of a properly built macadam road depends especially upon the volume and kind of traffic over It, the quality of the atone of which it is composed, and its peculiar fitness to resist the wear to which it is subjected, and also upon the climatic conditions of the locality. A certain Massachusetts road built of an excellent quality of trap rook in tbe best manner needed resurfacing Within two years cuter it was com­ pleted. The road was a portion of .a main thoroughfare Just outside of one of the largest cities In tbe state. In addition to the usual heavy traffic to which such a road must be sub­ jected. it was used constantly by drays loaded with the products of several mills. There are many miles of state O. K.

Lake. roads in Massachusetts built of broken field stones and in use for ten or twelve years on which lltUe or no surface repairs have been needed. In the first case mentioned It was prob­ ably a mistake to have used the mac­ adam type of surfacing. Vitrified pav­ ing brick, or possibly blocks of gran­ ite or some other hard material, would have more nearly suited the conditions. In the latter case tbe field stones have served their purpose ad­ mirably, though some of the roads could and probably would have been built of gravel had that material been obtainable at a reasonable cost It was formerly held that tbe mac­ adam, surface should be restored annuallrto Its > original thickness. Doubt­ less this practice was excellent, so far as tbe condition of the roads was concerned, but such annual restoration Is costly. Tbe present practice Is to keep the surface always smooth, to fill any small holes or incipient ruts which may appear, but to do no rw surfacing until the stones have worn down at least to. the lower ptratum of the macadam. Too often the resurfac­ ing Is delayed longer than economi­ cal considerations will Justify. By the time the upper course has been worn through the road is usual ly more or leas out of shape. As be fore stated, most of the wear is near the middle of the road. The sides tend to build up as the center wears down When the road is In this condition it should be resurfaced with the beet stone which is available. It should not be. necessary to put on more than three Inches In the center, and tbs stone at the sides may be spread aa thinly as la possible. QWy a relatively small part of th* rswrfSiClng cost is Included in the annual npat per mile above stated, but it is belfarred that an expenditure of not exceeding I JOO per. mile per year should be tbe maximum amount neces­ sary to provide fur both extraordinary repairs. FARM HINT*. Independence and farm life are synonymous terma yialt other successful dairymen and gather up such bite of knowledge as may be obtained. If yon find It hard work to handle silage, use a silage fork made espe­ cially for tbe purpose. Grass and weeds In tbe young or­ chard make a fine nesting place for tbe mice in the winter. Tbe site continues to grow in popu­ larity. It's tbe greatest adjunct of modern dairying yet discovered. Winter Is a hard time for the stock of the farm, ths best way we can fix it When you stop to think that natur­ ally stock are out-of-door creatures, roaming lu the fields, breathing the pure, fresh air, and then think bow changed are the conditions when they come to be shut up in tight barns for such a long portion of the year, It be­ comes evident that the tendency must be toward weakness and disease. vBo It stands us in band to make tbe con­ ditions just as nearly like those of summer as we can. That Is, we Should do our best to give ths stock good feed, feed that shall be nourishing, and at tbe same time plenty of air that Is free from disease germs. It must be thst.a great deal of tbe sickness, such as tuberculosis, comes from breathing the same air over and over again In the close stables of our country. By running a board shaft from the stable, very near to the floor clear up to the roofx we may take a good -deal of the Impure air out You know tbat air that has been breathed once becomes heavier than it is at first There are loads of impurity in simply air tbat has been used in the lungs of man or bsast. This settles toward the floors. .The shaft 1 have spoken of will take that air, and there being more or less of a draft through such a shaft, the foul air will be lifted out while pure air will come-tn from be­ low. This pure air ought not to come in so that tbe cattle must stand all the time In a draft Tbe windows should be arranged “so tbat they may furnish air without bringing a draft. Again, these windows ought to be windows, and not simply board slides. Good sash windows that are fitted with hinges to turn up out of the way are by fw the best. They let in light wifleb is the greatest germ destroy­ er on the face of the earth". And then, cattle should be groomed every-day. 1 know, writes Edgar L. Vincent. In Farmers’ Voice, some folks think this is a waste of time. Tou will hear some men argue that it actually barms cattle to be scratched with a currycomb. It seems to me that those men do not take a very reasonable view of the matter. Just look at cattle that are not thus cared for. The minute they are out in the yard they begin to rub, and lick and dig themselves against every fence post or anything else they can get to, as if their hides were tn perfect misery as I have no doubt they are. We ought to save our stock from this trouble by giving them a good currying every day. With good feed and water, with well-ventilated barns and good groom­ lag, any man can keep bls stock In a healthy condition, even In winter. And such things pay, for the work the cows do next year will largely depend on the way they come out In the spring. There never should be such a thing as "spring poor.” Spring fat Is a far better term to use. ( EASY-RUNNING GRINDSTONE. One Which the Farmer Can Rig Up for Himself.

Po­ tatoes exhaust the land little in com­ parison with the money value of the crop. The tubers are composed very largely of water and starch, and the loaves and salks fall on the field and are plowed In. There are tew diseases that attack the potato, and they can mostly be controlled by spraying. Only one insect of importance has to bo fought, and that is tbe Colorado beetle. It is k big and easily found, that destroying it Is merely a ques­ tion ot effort Potato growing there­ fore seems to have less obstaclos in its way than several other kinds at effort on the farm.

In both cities, the houses of the well-to-do were attached, and the circumstances surrounding the crimes point to great familiarity with the in-1 terlor, or else the careful preparation for which experts In this line are noted. In each case money, rings and watches were annexed, while the more bulky,silverware was not taken. With the idea in view that the thieves are professionals of high attainments, and the consequent taking of extraordinary precautions, the police of other cities stood a better chance of nabbing the members ot the gang. With this in ▼lew officers about the state made ex­ traordinary efforts to apprehend the criminals. Haycock Snatched by Invisible Hand. Lansing sojourners at Pine lake teli a weird tale of a phenomenon in Oak Grove, on the west shore of the lake. Mitchell Kane and Chris Drake were haying and had several haycocks In the field, when one of the plies of hay rose In the air to a height of nearly 1,000 feet, according to the estimate of a bystander. It remained intact for nearly five minutes, and seemed to be rapidly revolving. Suddenly the force that -held the hay together re­ laxed and the hay spread out in all di­ rections and quietly fell to the earth like a shower of rain, covering the ground for a wide area. It is believed that a' miniature midair tornado or cyclone that was passing reached Ita funnel to tbe earth and picked up the pile of hay. There was no wind blow­ ing at the time that was discernible to thoje in that vicinity, and the phe. nomenon was watched with amaze­ ment by many people who happened to be near by or were attracted by the appearance of the number of citizens who were gaxing heavenward. ’ . First Case Under Juvenile Law. Some of the Lapeer county authori­ ties are evidently not familiar with the law governing the age limits for ad­ mission of incorrlglbles to the Indus­ trial School for Boys. A deputy sher­ iff of that county arrived in Lansing with Lloyd Hallenbeck, aged nine years, who had been committed to the industrial school by the judge 'of the Lapeer probate court. The new Juvenile law does not state that no boys under the age ot ten years will be admitted to the school, and the Lapeer official dief not know that he erred and caused a considerable ex­ pense to his county needlessly by send­ ing the boy here. This Is the first Juvenile case that has been disposed of in L^ieer county since the pas­ sage of the new Juvenile law by the Ihst legislature. Stringant Liquor Laws. Representative Archie Bunting of Leelanau county, now at the head of the Michigan Bonding ft & surety Surety comp;,ny; with headquarters in Detroit, is authority for the statement that there be a stringent liquor' regulation measure parsed in the next legislature, nnd r will be backed by the big liquor Interests. “Of course, tbe bill has not been drafted and many of its provi­ aions are purely tentative," said Mr. Bpnting. “but there is no question but that a liquor regulation measure along lines suggested by the llqiior interests of the state will be .presented to the next legislature, and,. I am confident, will be passed. By liquor Interests I do not mean the saloon-keepers, but the brewers and the big wholesale liquor men. These people realise clearly that something must be done to raise the. saloon business to a high­ er level, and the .time to stat t Is at once. The law as considered would limit the number of saloons, provide certain qualifications for license appli­ cants and empower city councils to re­ fuse licenses to undesirable men. It’s tbe low “dive,” run by some crook, that gives the black eye to the busi­ ness, and the law will be framed with the idea of keeping this element out of the business." Saloon Barges Affected by Decision. Whether or not a boat can be used on a navigable river of Michigan to sell liquor in evading the state laws, by taking out a government license, is the point Involved in the case of the people versus Robert Van. owner of the barge "Saginaw,” finished in the Saginaw recorder’s court. A similar case has never before been tried In a Michigan court. Van was charged with stocking up the barge as a bar and running it up and down the river Sundays to evade the Sunday closing law which, is enforced here. He took out a government license and when the barge, which is a large, two-decked affair, drawn by a tug. made landings, the bar was closed, but opened up im­ mediately on leaving the dock. She touched at the principal thoroughfares crossing the river and was doing a land-office business among the thirsty who almost submerged the barge in their efforts to crowd aboard. Then the authorities got wind of the alleged ruse and arrested the owner, charging him with selling liquor without a li­ cense. The Michigan statutes author­ ize a “passenger boat, plying between ports.” to operate a bar on a govern­ ment license, but It is alleged the barge used here Is outside that class. Enlarge Scope of Blind Plan. Owing to the large number of appli­ cations for admission to the Michigan Employment Institution for tbe Blind, received outside the state, the board of trustees at a special meeting decid­ ed to-open tbe Institution to such per­ sons. A resolution' was adopted for­ mally admitting blind persons from any state in the union, subject to an Earle Issues Challenge. opinion the at’orney general will be State1 Highway Commissioner Hera- asked to give as to the authority of tio S.

Aldrich, former city recorder and alleged embezzler of 114.000 of tbe fpnds of the Excelsior Building & Loan association, who left the city three years ago iu company with Miss Chloe Burns, was brought back from Mobile, Ala., by Sheriff Bean and was lodged in jail. His ex­ amination was held. Aidjlch was much changed. He was haggard and thin, and evidently felt .hi* disgrace keenly. Sheriff Bean found bis man at work in tbe freight offices of tbe Louis­ ville A Nashville railroad, and he had just five cents in his pockets. His mqnth’s pay of $60 would be due.in a few, days, and that was all there was except a little household furniture. Aldrich refused absolutely to talk. Neither would he give a hint as to the means used for eluding officers. He asked the sheriff to allow no one to see him in jail, and this request was respected. Miss Chloe Burns, who it is said passed as Aldrich’s wife, was left behind in Mobile.. It is believed she will collect Aldrich’s pay, sell the household goods and then go -to a bro­ ther who lives in Cleveland. • vide the village iu four sewer districts, as follows: Sewer district cumber oae in­ cludes all tbe loads north of Tbornspple river as shown on said map so prepared as aforesaid; sewer district number two in­ cludes ail the lands within the following boundaries: Commencing nt a point on tbe south bank of Thornspple river on a line with tbe alley between Middle street end Phillips street, as shown on said map. running thence south along tbe center of said alley, crossing.

Were we to'go on with these "biographical illusions'* with­ out embellishing them with a semblance of fancy facia? hirsute adornment they would be flat*—bare, as it were, and for that reason we show you the picture of Fergus Henry Roe. One to look at the picture would think that Hank had employed a land­ scape gardener to lay out the beautiful effect he has achieved on the lineaments Mother Nature handed out to him. However, the result has nev&r been equalled around these parte, not even by Harrison Freemire, who has tried and coaxed,-lo, these many years to place his physiognomy in the same class as Henry’s, with the result that produces only disappointment to Harrison and cbestiness to Hank. .But let that be as it may, Hank came by them honestly, he grew those whiskers with the utmost care and now flaunts them wide to the vagrant breeze, proud, bellig­ erent—not to say bellicose—the sublimation of the whisker idea as developed after years of training by a master hand. Very few people around here know that Henry has another name, and it has been just plain "Hank," but the writer had access to the family bible and there he found'the appendage afore mentiqned. When “Hank" came into the world names were scarce and his folks were too poor to go far for names for their children, so one was coined for him at little expense, but as soon as the boy was old enough he relegated the coined name to the rear and started upon his career with the old stand-by “Henry." which bas done good service for so many people. He comes.of En­ glish and Irish ancestry, but there is little of the green of the latter nationality in his eye now. He came mighty near being a man without a country, for circumstances almost willed that he see.the first light on the big Atlantic ocean, his parents having been in this country but three months when he made his bow, which was at.North Adams, Massachusetts, November 24, 1846. He was the youngest of a family of five children and the oniy one born in America-. His father's name was Lawrence Roe, born at Cork, Ireland, who went to England when a’ very young boy. ’ His mother'n us'me was Maria Knowls and she was born at Manchester, England. In 1852 the family came to Michigan and settled at Bellevue, where they lived many years and where the father and mother died. During the years 1871-2 Mr. Roe was in the meat business at Olivet and on September 10, 1873, he came to Nashville and was engaged in that business for a period of over thirty years, selling out to Wenger Bros, a few years ago, and since then he has divided his time with his farms south of town and to his land in the upper peninsula. In 1875 he was elected treasurer of Castleton township and served in this capacity two.years. In 1886 he was elected supervisor of the same township and served seven years, being chairman of the board of supervisors two. terras. When the village was first incorporated he was elected a trustee and served as such for six consecutive years. He has been a member of the school board for as many years and has filled these offices with credit to him­ self and with profit to the community. He joined the Masonic lodge in 1876 and the Knights of Pythias lodge in 1880, in which orders he has filled practically all of the chairs. On October 24, 1874, he was united in marriage to Miss Melissa Davis and they ha veil ved In the ..house where they now live for the last thirty years, and here they reared to manhood and womanhood their five children, William, Beatrice, Ernest, Linna and Vid­ ian, all of whom have been educated in the Nashville high school. . Despite his 62 years, he is one of the "hoys’* who en­ joy a good laugh and who can appreciate the bright side of life. Every year for a number of years he has been in the north woods hunting the nimble deer, and when he is compelled to give up these trips it Will surely be a hardship to him, as the;: are one of tbe great events of the year for him. Mr.. Roe has made a success of business. He has made a success of life. He bas many friends, in fact all who know him he can safely count as a friend. He is scrupulously honest and unselfish. It seems al­ ways a pleasure for him to assist those who need assistance and many are the kinSnesses written opposite his name on the page Of history. He has been one of the old stand-bys of the town and has assisted materially in Its growth. The onl/ thing against Hank is he is a democrat. He has always been a demo­ crat and says that as his hair grows whiter his faith in the grand principles of democracy grows stronger. OBITUARY. Laannah Rhoads Feighner was born May 4, 1835, in Scipio township, Sen­ eca county, Ohio, and died June 27, in Cannel, near Charlotte, aged73years, 1 month and 23 days. She was tbe third child and second daughter of Michel and Susanah Rhoads, one of a family of nine child­ ren, six of whom grew up to manhood and womanhood. ’ She was married to Jaoob Feighner September 7, 1854. in Bloom township, Seneca county, Ohio.

She' was converted when about seventeen years of age and united with the United Brethren church, of which she was a faithful member un­ til death, and through a long, labor­ ious and useful life the Bible was her constant companion, counselor and Kide and for many yuars she read r testament through each year. Hers was a religion of living deeds, not words—of example more than pre­ cept. Truly it can be said of her “She hath done what she could." Patient through all suffering, ever forgetful of self, she seemed even to regret the care and attention her last days required, which was only pleaiure for the loved ones who had re­ ceived so bountifully from ber hands, to give.

H. Atkinson McCarthy, superintendent of the Golconda, bls. bluff, and burly, was unhappy. He stood at tbe station wak­ ing for the belated train that, was to bring with it the special car contain­ ing tbe wife and daughter of the pres­ ident McCarthy disliked the waste of time and the role of entertainer for women. “Most of the women I have known have been a nuisance," he cald audibly, tn his growing annoyance. “Me, too. Mack," piped up a small voice beside him. The superintendent looked at his companion, Sanders, the stage-driver. The latter, nearly four feet in height and J3 years oldl returned the gaze unbllnkingly from a pair of wise-look­ ing Irish-American eyes which belied his age, meanwhile wrinkling his freckles into a mass that served as a harmonious fresco below his red hair. The train groaned and creaked’ along the rails, and came to a whining, perspiring halt. Sanders dove frantically through the crowd and planted himself before the platform. Down the steps surged proa* pectors, miners, commercial travelers, and women, bumping each others* legs with bales, bundles, and bags, and all In a hurry. But It was not ganders’ day. There was none who knew him —and those who were attracted by hie shrill voice crying: "Stage-line to Horne," paid small heed to his appeal, and trafficked with his rival. “Here, you, Bandera," hailed Mc­ Carthy’s voice from the diminishing crowd, “here are some passengers for you." The wise-looking little, old .face brightened up hopefully, and he came forward unabashed, but colored with self-consciousness before the outburst of merriment of the most beautiful lady he had ever seen. He recalled In­ stantly a story bis father used to tell him before he went to rest back up there In the hilts, and from then on she became to him the “Dream Lady." McCarthy led the way to the stage, assisted the president's wife and daughter to a seat, and then deposited bft own huge bulk beside the driver's cushion. Sanders crawled up to hie place, us­ ing the spokes of the wheel as a lad­ der. clutched the reins in his small hands, tripped the brake with much effort, and started his horses with a yelp. McCarthy had always thrown all tbe patronage to Sanders’ line that he coujd. McCarthy . never laughed at him, and McCarthy was a big man. A real superintendent who worked many men and who was a king up there where all those men worked. McCarthy was a trump. Tbe stage-driver’s mind went ram­ bling away to the stories he had read in the ten-cent books be had secured from the. miners, where the heroine was always a beautiful young lady who always fell in love with the hero, who, if not a stage-driver, was a brave young detective. They always mar­ ried, and, as far as he could recollect, lived happily ever after. It really seemed like a very short drive that day, and when the stage rolled up to the front of the superin­ tendent’s office, which bad been pre­ pared as a temporary home for the visitors, Banders was quite surprised at the speed they had made. The days changed for Bandera. There was no longer a weariness In the. drag uphill from the American to the Golconda. This was because of the Dream Lady. There was something odd about It all. he pondered. McCarthy took more pains than he used to, because he shaved every day, and had a new hat that he wore when not going through the mine. Tbe Dream Lady, too, showed signs of the summer’s progres­ sion. She looked at the superin­ tendent differently, and there was something in the look that led Ban­ dera to know that she saw in this white-hatted, silent man a master of men and things. Ah! he could love her for that ■ The Dream Lady didn’t seem to be as happy as she had been, and there was trouble between ber and her mother. The boy wondered at that, and spent bis idle time in vain specu­ lations. True, he bad heard but little, but it was a certainty tbat the Dream Lady and ber mother were not on good terms. Bo he hated the mother. Worst of all, McCarthy somehow seemed to feel the change, and San­ ders’ heart ached for him with a dull, sympathetic hurt which required con­ stant repression. Of course he couldn't talk to the man—tbat would never be understood: besides, there wasn't the »ame camaraderie that there had been, because the man was quieter, if possible, than he used to be, and he spent more time working underground, aa if avoiding something. The boy felt aggrieved. Tbe Dream Lady was very fine, but there was no one too good to be friends with McCarthy, and she must have said something to have changed him so. ASSYRIA FARMERS* CLUB.

Up from below, with bells tinkling on the leaders, and driven by one who carelessly whistled, came an orewagon. The whistle stopped abruptly, and the driver was startled Into action, but too late. Sanders had seen the danger, and made instant choice. It wii that his own viciously running horses must be swung up Into tbe bluff to avoid being hurled into the river below. He reached far out and caught a tenacious twist In the line nearest the bank, gritted his teeth and with a sudden jerk threw his en­ tire weight back in one mad fling. There was a sharp crash, which re­ verberated back into the hills, the splintering of wood and a confusion of. struggling horses. Sanders felt him­ self hurled high into the air, heard the whistle of thq wind shrilling in his ears, accompanied by the groans and screams of the maimed animals. He bad a vision of wildly striking, kick­ ing boots, into which he plunged as though shot from a catapult, and then it grew dark, very dark. Waiting doesn’t pay.

A poultry raiser says: I do not believe that we can take tbe domestic hen as the best example of incubation. She has been domesticated for so many years that pome varieties have been educated away from the hatching of their own eggs, and under the forced methods in which bens are kept it does not seem to me that the habits of the hen can be followed en­ tirely as our best illustration of the correct methods of incubation. I have brought out larger hatches un­ der certain conditions of artificial In­ cubation than I usually secure with sitting bens. Milk for Hens. Sweet skim milk right from ths separator is a most excellent feed for laying hens. It, In part, takes tbe place of meat scraps.

NUMBER 48 At a meeting of the township board last Friday the matter of compelling the .muzzling of ail dogs* was acted upon in the shape of the passage of a resolution compel ling the muzzling of all dogs running at large. The reso­ lution will be found in another part of this issue, and a copy of the reso­ lution has been sent to every consta­ ble in the township with instructions to see that the law is enforced. . Castleton township was the banner local option township of the county, yet the officers say that the reason all the justice court cases from thia town­ ship “for infraction of the liquor laws are tried in Hastings is because the sentiment here is against enforcement of the law f and the prosecuting attorney remarked to a Nashville man re- cently that he could not get conviction here. Nashville has two justices of the peace as competent as any in Hash ings and we do not believe the insinuartion of the prosecuting attorney is correct, • and we do not believe the attitude of 4he officers who are re­ sponsible for taking this work to Hastings is fair. The advertising matter for Nash. ville’s great third annual harvest festival is going out, and it is the pur­ pose of the committee to let every per­ son within a radius ot twenty-five mites of Nashville know that Nash­ ville will have one of the biggest time* in its history on Wednesday and Thursday, August 19 and 20. All committees are wonting hard and the program will contain attractions that have never before been attempted by a town the size of Nashville. One of , the attractions that is being figured on is a balloon race each day. Thia attraction alone._,inll draw a large crowd. The committee on parade #ul ask every merchant in town and every manufacturer to enter the parade, and a good many are already figuring on their floats, so this will be another ' feature-that will draw well, as the Fiarades the former years were very nteresting features of the festival'. Morris Ward swore to a complaint the 6th of‘this month charging his divorced wife with trying to set fire to his house south of the village. The warrant was issued and served upon Mrs. Ward on the fifteenth, when she was taken to Hastings and arraigned before Justice Bishop, where she was required to give bonds forher appear­ ance at the examination which was to have been held Tuesday of this week, but by mutual consent the examination was postponed to today. The complaint charges Mrs. Ward, who has been living in this villagp since she was granted a divorce from Ward some several week ago, with trying to set fire to the house on two different occasions. July 2 and July 5. On top of this Ward has filed a petition ask­ ing that a divorce decree by which Mrs. Ward was given the custody of the children be revised, and that he be given the custody of the children. This case will be argued before Judge Smith soon. The Nashville ball team went to Eaton Rapids Tuesday and came home with one good big scalp tagged 7 to 5. . The Eaton Rapids team had been doped as one or the strongest team* of the country and the result of the Sme was a surprise to the fans of it city, who turned out liberally to witness the game. It was Nashville’s Same all the way, and but for a bad ecision by the umpire in calling a ball that went foul by ten feet a fair hit, Eaton Rapids would have scored only two runs. Nashville got three in the second, two in the third, one in the fourth and one in the sixth. Eaton Rapids got two in the fourth and the same number in the fifth, and added one in the eighth. Boonstra was in the box for Nashville, pitched a fine game and was accorded good support. But two errors were charged up to the Nashville boys, while Eaton Rapids pulled off several “bobbles.” Six hits were registered off Boonstra, while nearly double that number were made off Knapp, the Eaton Rapids twister. Frank Purchiss and Frank Scofield carried off the honors in this line, getting two each. The boys were well treated, and the game was a clean, snappy affair. A large crowd attended the opening of E. V. Barker’s bakery last Thurs­ day. there being fully one thousand people to enjoy ice cream and cake at the expense of Mr. Barker. Music was furnished by Misses Nina Titmarsh, Ruth and Dora Downing and Mr. Elzie Clifford and all day, long the place was thronged with people, who were shown every pourtesv by Mr. and Mrs. Barker and tne clerks. *The place was tastily decorated for the occasion and presented a pretty appearance. Rev. C. W. Fletcher did the decorating, which was done with potted plants, palms, crepe paper, etc. Mr. Barker can well feel proud of his bakery, for it is one oflbebestappointed bakeries in the state, and not only should Mr.. Barker feel proud of his place but the people of Nashville should congrat­ ulate themselves on being able to boast of as good a place of the kind. Mr. Barker has not been tn Nashville many years, but he has shown his faith in the village by helping in the building up of the town and by his Hustle he is succeeding in building up a fine busIrAes for himself. The building which he now occupies he bought some time ago of A. A. Wtiltemau. He has made many im­ provements in the property and has spent a good deal of money in fixing it up. The bake shop is in the back of the building and Is large androomy, giving him ample room for a large amount of up-to-date tools. The kitchen is in the center of the building and lb also well appointed, and as we doubt if there ix if the kind in the st size at Nashville. �* My lord thought deeply.

July 20.—This quaint ©id city Is in a flutter ot anticipation over tbe arrival of H. R. H. the prince of Wales, who will hail Into the harbor next Wednesday aboard the new British battleship the Indomitable, to Inaugurate the three hundredth anni­ versary of the founding of Quebec by the French navigator, Champlain. The. coming of the future king of England is a significant event in which all Canada is deeply interested, lor aside from the pageantry of a royal visit, It is a notable expression of the strong bonds now existing between the imperial government and Its American colony. , Fins Assemblage of Warships. Great masses of troops are being assembled here to do honor to the fu­ ture monarch and to take part in the Champlain exercises. The harbor al­ ready presents a striking naval spec­ tacle, with the British battleships Ex­ mouth, Albemarle, Russell, and Dun­ can, and the cruisers Venus and Arro­ gant, the French battleships Leon Gambetta and Admiral Aube. These will soon be joined by the United States battleship New Hampshire, and the Indomitable, Minotour and other ships, the whole presenting an assem­ blage of tbe latest Dreadnaught types of three foremost naval powers. Although the founding of Quebec is the primary purpose of the celebra­ tion. the coming of the prince of Wales, Field Marshal Lord Roberts, the duke of Norfolk and many other notable personages is proving ot far greater interest than the' historical exercises. The prince will be quartered in the citadel, a grim old fortress perched 400 feet above the St. Lawrence. Roberts Finds Old Comrades. Lord Roberts also is quartered In the citadel. The grisxled old hero Is already the Idol of assembled soldlery. Many of them served under him in the Boer war. and he Is quick to pick out and welcome his old com­ rades-in-arms. He has visited the monument erected here to the Cana­ dians who fell In South Africa. The presence of that fine body of picked men, the Northwest Mounted police, and the cavalry, artillery and foot from all parts of Canada brings to­ gether many members of the Strath• cona horse and other bodies which followed Roberts to Pretoria. Lord Strathcona in person will be here next week, coming , from London, where he is Canadian bight commissioner. Vice-President Fairbanks, who Is to represent the United States govern­ ment, is expected to arrive next Tues­ day in time to be present at the welcom®extended to the prince of Wales.

The formal opening of the week's exercises began Sunday with a mon­ ster parade of the young French-Canatllans. who assembled ct the foot of Champlain’s monument, heaping It with flowers and singing hymns in his praise. The gathering was suggestive of the status o? these young FrencbCanadlans. They are a sturdy lot They are about holding their own in population as against the Anglo-Saxon element. They are a powerful and almost dominant factor in eastern Canada and they tenaciously cling to the French language and customs. Earlier in the day Lord Roberts, ac­ companied by Earl Grey,. the governor general, attended the Anglican ca­ thedral while a special service was given at the Catiwllc basilica in honor of the duke of Norfolk, head of the English Catholics, and the officers and crews of the various French war­ ships.

We threw out sand and rose again, determined to stay in the air as long as possible, but soon had to land." , WALKER IS BROUGHT BACK. Connecticut Absconder on HIs Way Home for Trial. San Diego, Cat.

When I was in busi­ ness before I had a good friend who used to loan me any amount I wanted up to a couple of hundred thousand. This friend’s mother wanted to get Into the Colonial Dames of America, of which my mother was a member, but my mother blackballed her.

London, July 21.—The second week of the Olympic contest at Shepherd’s ■Bush began with the first day devoted principally to field sports such as Americans are accustomed to witness. The track athletes were the stars and the program contained many fast and exciting events. . The American and British runners and jumpers gathered In the Hon’s share of the laurels, as usual, but the Americans exceeded even the expecta­ tions 'of their supporters. Several hundred Americans, mostly tourists, with many ladies, who were massed in the seats next to the royal box, gave an exhibition of cheering which suggested an American college crowd, and Immensely amused the Eng­ lishmen. The attendance at the games was fair, but the weather in the after­ noon was gloomy and threatened rain. The competitors from the United States are deploring the continual ab­ sence of sunshine, under which they can do their best work. * Rector Is ths Day’s Star. The spectacular features Monday were the 17 trial heats of the 100meters sprint and the eight trial heats of the 800-meters. These furnished several close and stirring finishes. In the sprints America captured eight heats and Great Britain four. J. A. Rector of the University of Virginia was the particular star, tor he beat quite handily K. G. MacLeod of Cam­ bridge. the bolder of. three 'varsity .blues, who never before was beaten, and In doing so he beat the Olympic record for the distance of 10 4-5 sec­ onds. • The names of Sheppard, Halstead and Beard. Americans, went up to the blackboard as the winners of their heats in the 800-meters race. This event proved a disappointment to Eng­ land, which was counting upon more than the two heats which It took. The German, Braun, much to the surprise of the Englishmen, outran Holding, who was one of their mainstays. Lunghl of Italy beat H. L. Coe of the University of Michigan in the excellent time of 1:57 1-5, and he and Just, the Cambridge half-mile champion, who captured the sixth heat in 1:57 4-5, will give the Americans a hard tussle in the finals. C. J. Bacon. Irish-American Athletic club, captured his heat of ’he 400meters hurdle race In 57 seconds, win­ ning by 25 yards, while Coe distin­ guished himself by defeating Densham. the former British champion, although he had just contested a hard 800-meters against Lunghl. Three Finals for America. The American colors were raised to the flagpole three times, signifying victory In the finals in the 100-meters swimming, the standing broad Jump and the bantam catch-as-catch-can wrestling, but these triumphs did not Inspire such thrills as the track per­ formances, because few spectators In tbe vast stadium could see them. C. H. Daniels, New York Athletic club, the American champion, as was expected, won the swimming event in the fast time ot 1:05 3-5, which equals the’ Olympic record. -He was closely followed to the tape by de Halmay of Hungary, with Julln of Sweden third. The standing broad-jumping contest was practically an American event, al­ though no notable records were made. Ray Ewry, the American champion, be­ ing considerably behind his own rec­ ord made at St Louis. HIs greatest distance was 10 feet 11 Inches. Tslolltiris, the Greek jumper, won second In tills event with 10 feet 7% inches. George N. Mehnerf, National Turn Vereln (American), took the final In the bantam wrestling, while George W. Gaidzik, Chicago Athletic association, won his heat in the high diving com­ petition. France won the medals for fencing, In which the many bouts were almost monopolized by continentals.

Sheridan's throw beats the world's record for the discus, Greek style. H. F. Horr, 1 A. A. C., was second in the event. . Russell, United Kingdom, took the 3,200-meter steeplechase, with ^ils team-mate, Robertson, United King­ dom. second. The only outsider to challenge Great Britain’s supremacy was J. L.

Ten dollars in­ vested in a trio of well-bred birds from an honest, reliable breeder will bp money well spent From such stock one dan rear a flock of birds that will be a delight to tho eye, and of financial value in the market In buying birds we must remember that the blood of parent stock will show in the offspring, and that the best bargain w« expect to obtain' is 100 cents worth of value for every., dollar we spend. Remember, that a few really good birds at the beginnlng will produce a flock of good off­ spring, but If you start with a flock of mongrels you can expect to breed but mongrels. Go slow tn buying, urges The Farm- ! er. Buy good stock and It will prove cheapest tn the end. Don't look for, or eapect more than your j money’s worth, or you will be disap- ' pointed. Pay a fair price, and you can expect to reclve a fair value in return. And remember, also, that ! good, thoroughbred stock will not thrive and prove profitable when ao corded the care usually bestowed upon ordinary scrub chickens. If stock wa* not purchased, or their purchase arranged for at fall fairs, it will be a good plan to attend. If possible, some of the winter shows, for ft is there you will find the best of the season's hatch, and you will be able to select the best of birds for breeding purposes. Many a poultry breeder is now confronted with the vexing problem— that of picking out tho birds he wishes to place in permanent winter quar­ ters and use as breeding stock next season. In every flock wHl be found a number of small, under-elsod pul­ lets, whose size is the result of late hatching, lack of proper care, dis­ ease, or some other cause, and which to the eye seem desirable to retain In spite of their small else. The retention of these birds, as. a rule, we have found to be a mistake, and we now keep them no longer than it takes to put them in good condition fbr the .market We spare none that are poorly sired, for the chances are that they will lay no eggs until well along toward spring, and what they do produce are usually of Inferior size. And we have found— as could be expected—that if such stock !□ kept orer and their eggs used for hatching, nothing but in­ ferior chicks are the result Good poultry can never be reached bv breeding from this sort of birds, weed them out closely, and over and over again, so as to make room for those that will pay for their keep and can be used as breeders with a better prospect of getting good prog­ eny, therefrom. Like begets like, and the better the breeding stock, the beU ter the chicks will be. Feeding Molasses to Stock. The use of molasses as a stock food appears to be growing in favor, and Is indorsed by practical feeders after careful use. A pint to a quart a day may be fed with good results, accord­ ing to the size and appetite of the animat It is a producer of energy and beat tbe same as sugar, and is slightly laxative in effect producing flesh and ambition. In the case of horses, the verdict seems to be that the feed, if ground, may be cut short at least 30 per cent where molasses diluted with water is mixed with the balance. When beginning its use, only a small amount per day should be given, say half a cupful, gradually in­ creasing the same with any food. In giving molasses to milch cows, the re­ quirements of each individual animal should be studied. Keep Cows Comfortable. It is very poor economy to let the cows roam over the fields In cold or stormy weather hunting for some­ thing to eat The men who make the most money out of their cows keep them in a warm stable all winter, only permitting them to go out in the yard on warm days. It takes feed to pro­ duce body heat and if the cow is not kept comfortable a whole lot of body heat must come from the feed. Tbe St Paul’s Population 225,300.

Very dainty refreshments were served and everyone present reported an unsually pleasant afternoon. While playing in a wheat field one day last week and concealed from view, the little son of Peter Horn near Charlotte, was run down by a binder driven by his father and received in­ juries that will probably prove fatal. One leg was entirely severed and the other terribly gashed. "Hundreds of times!" cried the girl with the French eyelet embroidery. ' “Goodness, yes!” exclaimed the girl with the Mexican drawnwork. “Well, I never spent such another half-hour in my life as I did last even­ ing," pursued the girl with the tat­ ting. "I was late in getting from my sister’s home to my train and I would have been worried only that I knew father would meet me in the city. As I got my bundles all spread out in the other half of the seat I looked up and saw the nicest sort of back and shoulders just ahead in the aisle. They turned around while 1 was looking and came straight toward me. ‘ I recog­ nized the man at the same instant, picked up the bundles, and smiled my very sweetest—-and I knew in that minute that I didn't have any idea who he was! So I smiled harder than ever and positively gushed—for time. "At first I thought his name would come to me after a little while. Bo I kept on talking as if I had Just been existing and nothing more until he should arrive. He played right up to his part. He had called me Miss Beach right away. Oh, how I envied him! _ . "Of course the more we talked and •told each other how glad we were to meet again the harder it was for me to think of confessing that I didn't know his name. “Then I began to rack my brains for a way to mako him tejl me his own name without suspecting that I was In­ terested in learning It. "First, I tried leading ttie talk around to the different people whom I knew; very carefully, for you cannot talk about perfect strangers to a man for-very long wlthout'its seeming rath­ er .odd to him. He didn’t appear to know a soul that I did. Then I tried spOrts and theaters and automobiles and cities and colleges and climate. I led him a merry chase through every subject I could think of that would be likely to give me a lead. He talked cheerfully about them all and seemed to be enjoying himself, but he didn’t make a single admission that helped me. . . "By this time I was ready to cry. The ride was half over and 1 could see father In my mind’s eye waiting In the railroad station to meet me. I began to grow frantic at the thought of naving to Introduce a man whose name I had forgotten. "Sometimes little glimmerings of his name would come to me and I would stop breathing, but they always van­ ished just as I almost grasped them. "Finally I grew desperate. I started •a to cross-question him wildly. In five minutes there were not many things about which I had not asked that wretched man except the one thing I. wanted to know. "I could have torn him Into little bits and thrown him out of the car window. But Just then he drew out a cigar cane and I distinctly saw the word ’Martin’ worked In silk -on the side. "That set me to searching madly again for a clew. Martin, Martin, Mar­ tin—who? "The train stopped. I suppose he must have seen the perfect dismay In my face as I made out dear old fa­ ther trudging through the gates to get me, and so be put two and two to­ gether. For he began to smile and I began to blush. Tbe more he smiled the redder I blushed. " ‘Now, confess. Miss Beach,’ he said, ‘that you haven't an idea who I am and haven’t had from the first. ”ve suspected It for some time and now I’m sure. I’ll wager five pounds of your favorite kind of chocolate creams that I'm right.' "Girls, will you believe me? Just his saying that made bls name come back to me.

J. B. KRAFT �News Notes from Lansing Interesting Happening* at the State Capital of Michijan. Lansing—That Detroit Is striding along toward the half-million mark without any inflation or boom meth­ ods. is shown by th© figures compiled by the board of water commissioners from the annual census of water con­ sumers. the most accurate and sclen• title basis of estimating population outside of the decennial government - census. A clear gain of 20,116 persons is recorded—a gain of five per cent. The water board's system, which Is based on computations In census years, is to multiply the number of families using water in the city by 4.602. July 1, 1907, the number Of families was 87,653. This year It is 92,329, an In­ crease of 4,676. At this ratio of in­ crease. the half million mark would be reached in between three and four, years. As the last year has marked a ■light recession from a tidal wave of prosperity, and some residents brought in by the flush times, particularly for­ eigners, have left and are just begin­ ning to return, the prospects are that the 500,000 mark will be attained be­ fore that time. Frowns on Spirit Influence. Unusual facts are presented in the John F. Goff will case decided by the ^supreme court. Several trials of the case have been had. John F. Goff, who • died a few years ago In Cass county, left a will giving to his only ■on. Leslie Goff, about >1,800, and be­ queathed the rest of the estate of about 141,000 to a fund home for spir­ itualistic mediums. It appears that the testator possessed a belief that his only son was illegitimate. This belief. It wap urged on the trial, was produced by spiritualistic communications. Goff being devoted to the faith. The su­ preme court says there was testimony showing that the testator was a spirit­ ualistic monomaniac, incapable of rea­ soning where that subject was con­ cerned. k He claimed to have received spirit communications Informing him that Leslie Goff was not his son, the court continues, and the influence is strong that he cut off the son with a small legacy on that account. On the second trial of the case by a jury a verdict was found disallowing the will, and as no error was found the finding of the jury was affirmed by the supreme court. Hill Accuses Gov. Warner. Arthur Hill of Saginaw filed with State Treasurer John T. Rich charges that the Farmington (Mich.) Exchange bank. In which he alleges Gov. Warner la Interested, does not comply with the state law by failing to print on Its sta­ tionery the names of Its stockholders. Mr. Hill forwarded the charges to Treasurer Rich with a request that they be Investigated by the state at­ torney genera), as provided by the statute. Arthur Hill has been a bit­ ter opp^ient of .Gov. Warner since the governor Issued from his sick bed at Farmington his famous letter stat­ ing that he had heard reports that Mr. Hill had used improper methods to further his candidacy for the Urited States senate.

Tbit is Albert L. Rasey, and he looks so natural that you can almost hear him stutter. You would not think, to look at the picture, that he had braved the storms of fifty-five winter.*, but be has. The picture looks quite a good deal like Al., if anything it Hatters him, which any well-made picture should do of a subject. But in order to make him pretty' itrdoes not have to flatter very mud), for it is a fact that for a good many years he was considered the prettiest man in the county. Al. made his debut right al the iron stake that marks the center of Cat­ tieton township. That was a long time ago, and the iron stake may have crumbled back to earth, but Al. has gone on forever and is still going. Al. was always original and in the matter of picking out his birthplace started out to be original. A good many people in coming into this world do not give the thought to their birthplace they should and very often in after years they are embarassed in not bjing able to point back with just pride to the place where they were born. A log house, chinked with bark and ordinary blue clay, is one of the best birthplaces that a person can pick out, and this is what he can point back to. The shingles were split out of oak and there was oiled paper at the openings which we now call windows. This was on .the 28th ' day of February, 1853, and as At remembers it it was a mighty cold morning when he first awoke and called for his “pap.” He remained in this house for about eight years, when the family moved into a real frame house, one of the first in that part of the township, and he has lived in Barry and Eaton counties since, or to be more explicit, fifty-five yeajs^ From that time to along in the winter of 1873 he did the light and heavy balancing usually required oftho boy on the farm and then Went to Char­ lotte, where he went into a barber shop owned by Al. Maynard and started in to learn the barber trade, and he has been learn­ ing it ever since, with the possible exception of a few years, during this time when he was making his fortune with a race horse. In 1878 he came to-Nashville and rented a room over Bill Buel's saloon, which was in the building now owned by Chas. Scheldt, where he pursued the art tonsorial for a couple of weeks, when he moved to a building across the street which stood where Reynolds & Sprague's shop now stands. He remained here until in-the spring of 1880, when he moved to his present location. Mr. Rasey's father was Joseph Henry Rasey, who came to this township in 1837, when it was a wilderness, there being but six families here when he came, and the festive In­ dian roamed the forests in quest of something to eat and “fire­ water" to drink, fais mother was Mary Ann Hart before she was married and both parents were from New York state and were of the original New York Yankee stock, who with the Germans did so much to transform the primeval forests of*this country into fine farms and spacious .homes, where they have toiled and where their children have toiled and enjoyed the fruits of their labors. There were six boys and three girls in the family and as Al. remembers it they had "hard sledding” for a time in getting along, but when the productive ground began to yield up its crops the wolf was driven away. On Septeml>er 1, 1878, Mr. Rasey was married to Miss Rose Jam rd and to them two children have been born, one. Glenn, passing away after a life of but two and a half years, the other, Marie, still living to bless the union. Mr. Rasey has made a success in life without roaming to far-off lands in quest of the festive dollar. He has built and lives in a oeautiful home, which was built some several years ago. He has never tried his art on presidents or rulers or any of the other great men of the time, but he can look with pride to the fact that he has never had a man faint "from pain while in his chair, although at times you can plainly see the tears of pain alowlj^ coursing themselves down the cheeks of the “victims.” He has watched Nashville grow and has added his mite to its growth and there is no place that is so dear to him as the town where he has spent nearly all his life. He is jolly, tender-hearted and a friend to al! and has been known to sign several subscription papers for the help of the unfortunate. Q. W. Piut, JAMES TRAXLER, and Transfers.

Dear co-workers and to all whom it may concern:—Allow me, as your personal friend whose heart and soul are in the work, to extend to you my heartfelt sympathy and good wishes in the cause of truth and sobriety for which the union stands. Let me say farther, that the union ought to receive the able support and friendly co-operation of every son of freedom, because it stands for pure mother­ hood, for the child and the home, hence proposes to ever keen through “the land of tbe free and the home of the brave.” It has become the right arm of the church, The agitator of human redemption from the greatest curse that has ever crossed the thresh­ old of any nation. . The union is the sworn foe of tbe liquor traffic, which will not cease its untiring labor until the homes, the boys and girls of America are safe; until manhood is redeemed and womanhood returned to its rightful place, the heart-of the nation. Therefore, allow me to send you a word of encouragement. Continue as you have begun, storm the citadel of the legalized liquor traffic, do not cease For a moment your vigils, for “Eternal vigilance is’the price of liberty,” and if you do not grow weary in well doing, you shall reap In due season. Already the dawn of a new era is seen creeping across the arid plains of public sentiment and the light of a new day of human freedom is evident; the eternal night of drunkeness and shattered hopes Is passed. Every­ where the impatient heart is looking away from cold creeds and confusing dogmas to tbe true light that came un­ to the world to destroy the works of the evil one. Let your watchword be “Forward ye brave", ye who have caught a glimpse of tbe golden age, ye who have received the larger vis­ ion of what life ought to be; fonrand then, ye mothers and daughters, In whose hands are clasped the reins of our national destiny, for as you rise to the pinnacle of true womanhood the nation will also rise and as you fail to tbe level of selfishness and im­ purity the nation falls “and great will be tbe fall thereof." Citizens of this community, arouse yourselves an J come to the support, prayerfully and financially, of the newly organised W. C. T. U., for It is worthy of all the help we possibly can give. Already its membership is «5 and is accredited the banner organi­ zation of its kind in Barry county, hence is destined to become a great moulding factor of true manhood in our community. The union meets semi-monthly Fri­ day p. m. at 2:30 o'clock at some home and short programs are ren­ dered, refreshments served and topics discussed. The last meeting was held at the home of Mrs. Parks, two and a half miles southwest of town, and a very profitable, and enjoyable time was had by all. In closing, let me remind you again that many times great opposition will confront you, but be courageous. The work you are doing will endure and remain after marble shafts He amid the ruins of this world and names of the great are forgotten. Move onward and upward, for the church of God is back of you, public conscience is with you, yea, our hearts, our homes are all with thee. All honor to the noble women of our fair land. All honor to tbe true motherhood of our nation, for it is the true woman who must lead in this temperance crusade, as well as in many other causes for rjght; she must be and will ever be the pbwer behind the throne of tbe public mind and 'ere long the age of Peace and Sobriety will be ushered in and America, as a world power, will have reached her zenith.

BROWN DRUGS WALL PAPER JEWELRY THE BEST GOODS The best goods at consist­ ent prices are the cheajiest to buy. It is best economy to have fewer of the things we desire and have the best than to buy much of the cheap which at no time gives satisfaction. We congratulate the people of Nashville in this respect be­ cause they appreciate staple goods that have enough mer­ it to be guaranteed in every detail. We aim to satisfy this class of demands and we offer nothing for sale in the line of watches, rings, chains or silverware of any discription which are not strictly guar­ anteed. Such thing* are to be con­ sidered in buying such good* when so many cheap imita­ tions are offered for sale. Von W. Furniss NUMBER 49 If you get a Born. * Peninsular or Mr. and Mr*. H.

The manufacturer who makes the best rod gives you a guarantee with it. The man who makes a cheap rod, which he himself has no faith in, will not give you a guarantee.

Lake East side on South Main street a* usually tbe case with them, stated that their team did not play tbeir best and that the game was easy. The Nashville boys knew better and by the way. the Hastings team struggled to win the game last Thursday it shows that the teams, are pretty evenly matched, although tbe Hastings team shows better team work, which comes from constant playing. The score, after the last man was out in the last game stood 6 to 2 in Hastings' favor but we do not believe there is a Nash­ ville man who was .not satisfied with the result- uf course we would liked to have won,but could not exjtect to qlass with a .punch of fellows who do nothing else but play ball. Hastings was mighty lucky 'with the stick. Tbeir hits nearly all counted. Hines was first to bat and was safe on- a bunt. Graham went out pitcher to first and Michael and Bush fanned. Cadwallader opened the second and was thrown out at first by F. Scofield; Kynett was thrown out at the same place by C. Scofield. Robleski hit safely, but the side was retired when Collins dumped .an easy one to the pitcher, who threw him out at first. Speaker was the first man up in the third and he gracefully struck out. Hines, who followed, put down another bunt and beat it to first. He was advanced to second on Graham’s sacrifice hit to short, Michael drew abase on balls and both runners were advanced on a passed ball, and Bush smashed out a douple, scor­ ing both, but be died on third when Cadwallader went out third to first. Kynett was the first man up in the next and be hit safely, but Collins hit a hot grounder to Cole at second, who got' in front of Robleski and whipped tbe ball to Poff, completing the only double play of the game. Speaker was the first man up in the fifth and went out pitcher to first/ Hines struck out and Graham was thrown out third to first. The sixth netted two more runs for the visitors. Michael got one past Poff and Bush fouled out. Cadwalader hit safely, Michael taking third. Kynett dumped one to Brown and Robleski singled scoring Michael and Cadwallader, but was himself nipped trying to reach second on his hit. Collins went to first inthe seventh on four wide ones and was caught trying to steal second. .Speaker went out third to first and Hines went out pitcher to first. The eighth was start­ ed by Graham who hit safely and was advanced to second by Michael's out, pitcher to first. Bush hit safely, stole secofld. while Cadwallader was being retired third to first. Kynett scored both men by a scratch single, and Robleski fouled out. In the ninth Speaker and Collins fanned and Hines fl led. out . For Nashville F. Purchiss struck out and M. Purchiss was retired on a fly to center. Poff went out third to first. Cole was the first man up in the second and he put put a good single and got to third on Brown’s out second to first and C. Scofield’s out short to first. F. Scofield put one in the air which was gathered in by Graham. It looked like a run for Nashville in the third when Foster and Kench drew passes, but F. Purchiss struck out and Max rolled one down to short and was retired at first, and Poff struck out'. In the fourth Cole put out a fly. to right field, Brown rolled a grounder to first and C. Scofield was ‘brown out by Speaker. F. Scofield opened the fifth with a bit but could not score. Foster wentout on a bounder to second, Kench struck out and F. Purchiss lifted a fly to center. In thesixth Max Purchiss struck out, Poff was thrown out second to first and Cole short to first. The seventh Nashville secured its first run after .Brown had been mured, second to first. C. Scofield made a hit and was sent to second by the sacri­ fice of his brother and scored on a passed ball. Foster struck out.' In the eighth Kench went out short to first. F. Purchiss was hit by the ball but was caught at third trying to reach that base on M. Purchiss* hit to right. Poff went out third to first. Nashville gathered another in the ninth. Cole went out second to first and Brown doubled. C. Scofield went ont short to first, but F. Scofield doubled to center and Brom scored. Foster sent an easy fly to center and tbe game was over. It was a good snappy game and was witnessed by a large crowd which was pleased with it. The only thing to mar the sport was the "action of Jimmie Hines in becoming enraged at the umpire in calling a strike on him. There were those in the crowd who thought that he ought to have been put off the grounds, but such action would only have caused a squabble and done more to kill the crowds at future games. All who witnessed it expressed their opinion that it was dirty business and could be perform­ ed by tbe class of ball players^who. do more,tp kill the sport than any.’ thing else.'

Boonstra made a clean single, but was forced by Frank Purchiss, whet Kaufman dropped his fly to short center. Max Purchiss stopped one of Lake's shoots and went to first. Chas. Scofield then proceeded to break up the game with a clean home run hit to center field, for which, how­ ever, he is entitled to but a two-base hit.

A few from here accompanied the team to Bellevue- last Friday, where the Nashville boys suffered another defeat, but it was so “hollow*’ that there is no weeping over it. -The game was well-played on both sides and was ‘an interesting game, the score at the finish being 5 to 4 in favor of the home team. At the be­ ginning of the ninth inning the score stood 4 to 3 in Bellevue’s favor, and Nashville got a run over, tying the score, but when Bellevue came to bat they got one across when the umpire got in the way of a thrown ball ana allowed the winning run to score. Boonstra was in the box for Nash­ ville and he pitched a fine game and had he been accorded the support that was given Kench here Thursday, there would have been nothing to it but Nashville all the way. The Bellevue team comes here tomorrow (Friday ) for a return game. Nashville's baseball bunch came over here Tuesday and got themselves disliked because they went at it and trimmed our boys for a score of 7 to 5. Of course our boys didn’t play their best, and then too. they made a few errors that were expensive from a winning standpoint, and they couldn't wallop out enough of ’em to keep the honors out of Barry county. But maybe we can get ’em over here again, ana if we do we’ll show 'em some­ thing about baseball that'll be worth learning. The visitor* won their game on the square and no one has any fault to find.-—Eaton Rapids Journal. The suits against the Charlotte base ball players which were started a couple of weeks ago will probably .never come to trial as the officials who ’caused their arrest are getting cold feet and they are afraid that if they push the cases Charlotte will be closed up Sundays as tight as a drum. The cases were adjourned Saturday. The base ball association is advertising a game to be played in that city next Sunday and they are expecting no interference from the officials. Public sentiment seems to be with the ball playersand therefore they will win out. NORTHEAST ASSYRIA.

J. B. KRAFT �—4> News Notes from Lansing MICHIGAN Interesting Happenings at the State Capital of Michigan. '• ■ Big Matches for Detroit The adjutant general’s office issued orders for the biggest rifle competition In the history of the Michigan National Guard. The contests were scheduled on the Detroit range and participated in by fully 35Q officers and men. August 4-8 Inclusive. Contestants are required to be on the ground early, and It is expected a week will be con­ sumed in the completion of the matches. The commanding officers of the First. Second and-Third regiments of infantry and of the Naval brigade are directed to detail a team of 14 men each, a team captain who may or may not be a member of the team, a team coach and a team spotter. Each company of Infantry, troop of cavalry, division of the Naval brigade and com­ pany -of signal corps will also detail one teanucaptain and six men to take part In the company team match. A man detailed on tbe regimental team! may shoot on his company team and 1 vice versa. In every instance the1 team captain must be a commissioned officer. Courts Arrest as Test of Law. State Land Commissioner Rose courted arrest "If any responsible person will agree to have me arrested for violating the primary election law. I will make a speech for one of the candidates for governor, just for the purpose of having the law tested," he said. Ro<ie does not believe a law Is constitutional which deprives a man of the right to express his choice among the candidates for governor simply because he holds a state office. A great deal of Interest Is being taken here in the meaning of the primary law, which says in section 46: "Any ’state officer, whether elective or ap­ pointive. or appointee of any state offi­ cer. or any member or employe of any state board, or any state employe who directly or indirectly solicits votes for governor, lieutenant governor or United States senator on primary election day .or at- any time prior thereto, shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor." Would Abolish Office. The commission of inquiry Into the state forest and tax lands met at Grand Rapids to formulate its final re­ port. Five of the nine members were present The commission’s report is of great Importance, although Its text was not made public until the gover­ nor had seen it. Its most drastic ac­ tion was the recommendation that the land commissioner’s office be abolished and his work done by a commission of forestry. The commission of Inquiry framed a statute which will be pre­ sented to tbe next legislature. The commission has made a thorough study of the state tax land and goes into much detail In its report and recom­ mendations. There has been some criticism of the commission’s expense, but Francis King of Alma said that it would probably not run above $7,000. The commission has employed “timber cruisers" to look after the state lands, and thia could not be done cheaply. Democratic Convention in October. . Chairman John T. Winship issued through Secretary Canfield a call for a meeting of tbe Democratic state cen­ tral committee at this city. The com­ mittee at this meeting was scheduled to decide on the time and place for bolding the Democratic state conven­ tion. Tbe convention will be held the last week in'September or the first'in October. The Saginaw board of trade extended formal invitations to both the Democratic and Republican state committees to bold their conventions In this dty, and will send a deputation to appear before the Republican com­ mittee when it meets at Grand Rapids. Plans for Conventions. Arrangements are being made for a number of large conventions which will meet at Lansing in August and September, beginning with tbe Grand Rapids Grocers’ excursion. August 20. Tbe Mate band tournament follows. August H and 17. and the college ex­ cursions will be run the same week. The start ship races will be called for tie week of Angust 19.

In a letter from A. E. Stevenson of Port Huron, superintendent of the vehicle depart­ ment. he says: "Everything In connec­ tion with the vehicle department Is In, good shape for the coming fair and this year's exhibit will be the beat ever in tbe history of the fair." Busi­ ness Manager James Siocum states that all of the exhibitors of laat year will be on the grounds. A number of new firms will be present Tbe great­ er portion of the vehicle firms of this and other states will be represented. Detroit particularly will be represent­ ed. The management will Install 50 fire extinguishers on the grounds. "We have an army of workmen on the grounds and a fire in our buildings would prove disastrous at this time of the season."', said Business Manager James Slocum. THROUGH THE STATE May Be Called Off Stump. During the past few weeks there has been considerable discussion at the capital of Just how far-state offi­ cers and employes may go In speaking a good word for any of the candidates for governor or lieutenant governor. The new primary law contains the provision that. It shall ,be a misde­ meanor for a state officer or any em­ ploye of the state, directly or Indirect­ ly. to solicit votes for any candidate for governor or United States senator on primary election day or any time prior thereto. Attorneys have been In­ clined to construe this provision of law as preventing public speaking by another state officer or employe In the interest of any candidate for the of­ fices named. They assert that the pur­ pose Is to solicit the votes of the peo. pie. and that It is none the less so­ licitation because the votes are so­ licited collectively Instead of separate­ ly. The subject has been discussed quite extensively in capital circles and It is not unlikely that Attorney Gen­ eral Bird will be called upon to give an opinion deciding the question. Should It be held tha* public speaking is prohibited by state officers or em­ ployes in the Interest of gubernatorial candidates several prominent persons may hare to be called off the stump. Inspector Charges Albert Riethmeler with Misappropriation of United States Funds While In ’ Office. - Gera.—Albert Riethmeler, postmas­ ter at Gera, is under arrest, charged with the misappropriation of |800 of government funds. Rlethmeler’s ar­ rest was caused by Post Office In­ spector William M. Cookson, who has been working on the case for some time. Riethmeler was taken to Sagi­ naw before .United States Commis­ sioner George Bl Brooks, after spend­ ing tbe night. In the county jail, and bound over to the October term of the district court for trial He was . re­ leased under $700 bond. Friends of Riethmeler came to his assistance and the shortage was made good, but be will be prosecuted by the government -for diversion of money order funds. Riethmeler .Is only 23 years old and has been postmaster at Gera about 18 months. He conducts a genera! store in connection with the post office and says tbe alleged shortage was due to a confusion of store and government accounts. To Build Inspection Car.

Attorney General Bird advised the officers of the Republican state cen­ tral committee that county conven­ tions throughout the state cannot be held until after the general primary, on September 1. In many instances, it is said, county conventions have been held and delegates to the various district conventions and also delegates to the state convention, to nominate candidates for state offices, have been selected. The attorney general holds that such county conventions are pre­ mature. and that the selection of dis­ trict or state delegates thereat is void. Delegates io district conventions and to a state convention, to be called for the purpose of selecting candidates for state offices, must be selected at tbe county convention, which cannot be held until subsequent to the Sep­ tember . primary. The attorney gen­ eral holds that delegates must be se­ lected at the county conventions which, will be held after the Septem­ ber primaries. Rules That He Can Vote. Attorney General Bird holds that if a primary election enrollment blank is signed and presented In person to a member of the enrolling board, the per­ son so signing wHl be entitled to be enrolled and vote on primary election day.

But in case there are those who might mistake it for the likeness of some German professor we will tell you who it is. Peter Rothhaar—or just plain Pete. Everybody around Nash- a vUle knows Pete, because he has been here a good many, years, and everybody who knows him has regard for liim, as they do for every man who makes it a part of his daily life to mind his own business and let other folks attend to theirs. Pete will have many entries on the right side of the big book when be comes to face his namesake and demand admission through the big golden gates. He has never been in politics and has never been stung by the “office bug,’** He has toiled on and has achieved a reputation of-always being happy. When you can't get a smile out of him he’s off his feed. How few the men are who do not want to run some other fellow’s business. And Pete is one of. that few. He has “sawed wood” and has been content, and has gotten, good out of life in his way. He came into the world in a Huie town called Bochbofen, in tbe state of Bavaria, Germany, on July*B, 1R56, just four days late for the Fourth of July celebration. Before Pete was born the town had a popula­ tion of 1000 people. The house in which he was born was a twostory stone house, as were all the bouses of this hamlet. His father was a weaver of cloth, but Pete did not like, the business, so when he had reached the age of thirteen years he left home and went some distance from home to work in a glass factory. He worked there about a month and became so homesick that he could not stand it any longer, and decided to return to his home, but getting away was no easy matter, so be wrote a letter to his employer stating that his father was, sick and wished him ’ to re­ turn. He was given the leave, but instead of going home he went to a little place near his home and went lb work in a coke furnace, where be remained three years and received the prince­ ly salary of fifty rents a day “and ate himself.” In 1876, when he had reached the age when all young Germans are drafted In­ to the army, be decided, like tbe Irishman, “that he would rath­ er be a live coward than a dead hero”, and as' he had never de­ veloped much of an appetite for fighting, he came to America.. He came over with Philip Maurer, who had come to America some time before, but who had returned to the fatherland for a wife. They started from Germany on February 12, 1876, and landed at Nashville March 6, and Pete tells about him being • go green that the cows actually chased him around. His -first meal in Nashville was eaten in a building where Chas. Scheldt’s house, now stands, and which was an eating house and saloon combined and was run by George Simpson, now deceased, and Mrs. Simpson cooked and set before him his first meal in Nash­ ville. When be landed he bad just one lone dollar to his name. His sister came over with him and he gave his-note for <165 for the fares over, and went to work for Adam Fuhrman, where he remained eight months, and then went to George Marshall's, where he remained three years. It took him nearly two year* to got out of debt and then he began to .save up money and soon had seventy dollars, which he loaned to John Marshall at an interest of ten per cent. When he received tbe note in exchange for his money he felt that he was rich, and as he saved more and loaned the surplus he began to feel that America was a great country. He continued frugal, saved his money and worked hard for it, and like all of those Germans who came to this country in an early day, has made frugality and honesty pay. The poverty that stared them in the face in the days of wilder­ ness and vicissitudes only spurred them on to further effort and their deeds of thrift and honesty now stand as a monument to the grand achievements these qualities have wrought for them. He went to Woodland in 1874 and worked a year on the farm of Wash. Rowlader, when he returned to Maple Grove township and worked for George Dilbabner for about two years, when he came to Nashville and entered the employ of G. A. Truman in his general store. He remained here about five years, when be received a cal! from W. H. KI einhans to accept a position in his dry goods store. This was on March 1, 1887, and he has held the position right along without a skip, twenty-one years last March. August 29, 1883, he was united in marriage to Miss Minerva Marshall, daughter of George W. Marshall. Rev.

The* other was short and stocky, with the beetling brow and somber look of the man who has trying heart history written In the deeps within him. And they, fellow travelers for the time but bating each other ever, fared away to­ gether. । Hunger walked with them and lent •taggers to tbeir steps as tbe squeakIngs of tbeir snow shoes blended to­ gether at their meeting place. Below them for indefinite miles stretched the canyon .up which they bad come, its only relief from snowy whiteness be­ ing the darker copses of green where pine boughs protruded. Tbe tall man stood questlonlngly for what seemed a long time, and then, as if his every nerve had weakened, be stumbled forward beseeching: "Grub, for God’s sake, grub! 1 have eaten nothing for the laat two days.” There was a pause, but no throb of weakness in the voice that wearily an­ swered: "Nor I for three daya.” It was like a blow to the tall man. He squatted on bls heels, twisted bls fingers* and moaned. while tears dripped unheeded down his bearded face. Tom remained immovable and brooding. Here before him was the object of his years of search—the oth­ er man and his revenge. Through all those years be had thought that when this man was found the end would come without delay. He had pictured to himself the savage joy and satisfaction of tbe kill. Odd! How be wanted to kill! It waa this starved and weakened and sobbing thing that in those far- I away years had stepped in between I him and bls betrothed—the only woman who bad communded all his heart’s homage—and with cunning lies, clever Insinuations and heartless malignmen ts had estranged'her. Yes, worse than that, had taken her for bis own and then instead of cherishing her bad made her life such a bell on earth that she bad been glad to pass from this into the portals of another world —bad been glad to rest—to sleep—to find the great quiet And never until she lay dying in his arms had he known all this. And never until then had he realized that life could hold as its sole object and ambition a desire to kill another man. The few minutes that bad slipped away since they met seemed ages. Suddenly the terrors of their position smote upon them, and together they turned and faced that terrific and for­ bidding wall that towered above them, a plane of snow whose crusted sur­ face glistened coldly repellent "No other chance.” said the stocky one, more to the mountainside than to his hearer. "No,” was admitted. 'To go around any other way takes 20 days.

But Jack cow­ ered down upon one knee, surprise and remorse written in his startled eyes and opened lips. He raised himself to his feet with his whole thought speaking in tbe tyltching of his face, and in one tragic, sweeping gesture of surrender threw back his opened hands and said: "You’re right! My life can’t pay, Tom. Take it! I don’t want to liva."

Dimly out­ lined, a trail led away from the front of the cabin toward the hill, and to other habitations In those other miles across its summit The man behind broke tbe silence. ’’Here’s where you stop,” he said. "I’m going on." The other man turned slowly on hla shoes and faced him, vaguely realis­ ing and understanding a hatred so great that It rendered, even in this terrible distress, one cabin roof too small for both. He was overwhelmed. "Torn," he said. *1 told yon back there to-day that I didn’t want to live. Well—I don’t You said ’not then.’ Better make it now!” He stood wait­ ing. "Killing's too good for yon.” Tom’s voice, fraught with malevolence, came through the gloom. "Damn yon! I hope now that you live forever and never forget!" He thrust his bearded face forward until hte eyes glared into those of the swart one. and concluded between un­ opened teeth: “By God! You can keep your life. I'm going to leave you with your memory. It’ll be bell enough." chard set on half-leveled land soon shows a lack of uniformity which It re­ quires years to outgrow. Good level­ ing greatly reduces tbe labor of water­ ing and tbe per cent of trees lost in setting. Land which has been previously fanned or cropped is the most satis­ factory upon which to set young trees, if the land has been well watered, it is uniformly moist, will require the minimum amount of water to start the young trees, and all danger from fu­ ture setting is obviated. However,, this land will suffer quicker from over­ watering than the raw land. The amoqnt of moisture already in the sub­ soil retards the recovery from over­ watering. There is one precaution to be taken in the preparation of all land for planting to young trees. The earlier it can be done the better. The land plowed in the late spring takes water too freely and the young trees often suffer from overwatering. The upper part of the soil becomes saturated with water and drives out the air and (.mothers tbe roots of the young trees. To avoid this difficulty the land should be prepared early and thor­ oughly worked down or settled with frequent winter and early spring culti­ vations This is especially necessary in the case of alfalfa land which la to be planted to young trees.

VOLUME.XXXV NUMBER BO -■ HOME NEWS WOMEN AND ... SAVING lt is second nature for most women to be saving, and in no way ls this more forcibly shown than in their dealings with the bank. You would be surprised to know how many women are the . “watch-dogs” of the household treasury. Naturally a woman can see with a keener insight the necessity of saving, and when she gets a bank account started she will take more pride in see­ ing it grow than a man will. Many men recognize this and turn their wages over to their wives to save for them, and nine times out of ten it is a wise move. It helps her save in her household expenses, it gets her acquainted with the worth of money and also gives her a pride in things material that in many cases results in great help to the husband. To prove this we will re­ late a little circumstance that happened right here in Nashville, which shows that women make good savers when given a chance: “ A man who had been working for wages for a good many years, gave a certain portion of his wages to his wife for household expenses. He was liberal, as all men should be to their wives, but. never once thought but what all the .money was being used to run the house, and you can imagine his surprise one day when he found his wife's bank book, in which an account had been running some four years, and showed a balance of nearly 1500.’’ He was pleased, not only by his wife’s thrift, but because of the fact that it was ‘‘just like finding" $500. You can de the same thing. It don't take long to save a like sum if you resolve to do it and (hen stick to the resolve. Then to, when your account is at this bank you know it is safe, and you know you can have it any time you want it. We pay interest at the rate of 4 per cent.. • compounded quarterly-, on savings deposits. Any amount will start an account. Better begin this week. THE FARMERS & MERCHANTS BANK, NASHVILLE, MICHIGAN.

Nashville won the game by the score of 20 to 4. The Nashville boys pounded the ball to every part of the field and Bellevue made as many errors as the home 3am made hits. Bellevue’s scores 1 came in one inning, when five of the seven hits made during the game . were bunched, and coupled with the only error on Nashville's side netted the runs. After this inning only two hit* were made off Boonstra and they came when they would do no harm. Nashville made seventeen hits off Crampton and Reynolds end the vis­ itors piled up twelve errors. Nash­ ville scored in every inning except the second and sixth. A fair-sited crowd was present. Ray Townsend held the indicator and gave good sat­ isfaction. . The Hastings Journal in its report (?) of the ball game between Nashville • and Hastings last week threw out slurs and boy insinuations which are characteristic of that dirty sheet. Dennis wis not at the game, probably because he could not raise the prioa of the railroad fare, but he knew it was dirty ball and everything on the Nashville side of the game was bad l>ecause he looks through that kind A severe electrical storm parsed of eyes, it is just such kind of east over Maple Grove, Assyria anjV '“pikers” who make the great national Kalamo townships Tuesday afternoon, fame disagreeable.

Nashville went to Hastings Tuesday and played one of the prettiest games of ball she has put up this seasonall but one bum inning when the whole outfit went to the - bad and Hastings put five runs across, not one of them earned, and the game finished with the score 8 to 2 in favor of Hast­ ings. Boonstra pitched a swell game and with the same fine support in the eighth inning that was given him the rest of the game might have won out. At least the game have would been a beauty. Sneaker pitched for Hast­ ings until the sixth inning, when a hot liner from Brown’s bat split one of his fingers badly and Maus, a Kalamazoo pitcher, finished the game. He is a south-paw ana Nashville couldn't get to him for anything. Baker umpired the game, but it wasn’t his fault that we lost. That makes three straight games Hastings has won.from us, and we are going to square it all up in one game, on the home lot August 20. An amateur cyclone struck town Tuesday night, and she struck hard enough to suit everybody concerned, too. It floated in about 7:30 and was something like half an hour going through. It left us a few tubfulls of fresh rain water, which would have been a dum sight ipore welcome if it had come on the installment plan, a few buckets of hail stones which we can't use on account of the local op­ tion law, and it took along with it a miscellaneous assortment of shade and fruit trees, windows, chimneys, etc. Everybody felt good when they saw it coming, and a mighty lot bet­ ter when they saw it going. The total of damages shown by invoice up to Wednesday night is the south fire wall blown from the J. Lentz & Sons’ fur­ niture store over onto the roof, John Furniss’ barn at the old driving park totally smashed up, the plate glass front of John Ackett’s market blown in, over a hundred shade and fruit trees about town totally or partially destroyed, several chimneys de­ molished, front porch of.Ed. Shel­ don’s residence partly wrecked by a falling tree, signs and awnings blown into kingdom come, telephone and electric light wires put out of commis­ sion, and several new cases of hyster­ ia developed. But it did rain, so that we will try to overtook the rest of it. At the council meeting Monday night resolutions were passed deter­ mining to construct the sewer as here­ tofore proposed. After giving the matter aue thought the members of the copucil decided that the plans propos­ ed' were the best, and the way of putting it in the best from a financial standpoint and will therefore proceed without delay and hoye to have it all in before winter. Aboard of assessors <consisting of Ward Quick, John Mar­ ।shall and John Furniss was appointed tto make the assessment roll, and they ’will get busy at once on the work. .After this-is done it will require two >weeks .for review of the assessment roll iand then work can be commenced. As heretofore stated, the outlet will Ibe constructed first and then the Main istreet lateral will be put 'in. It is ithought that this will-take but a short iand believed the work can all be icompleted before the middle of October. .A petition asking for an extension of i the water main from Chas. Parrot’s i to Mrs. Dollar's property on the isouth side was presented and was re­ :ferred to the water committee. Frank :Russell came before the council and jasked that the practice of the boys of ।swimming at the bridge be stopped. :He-flaimed that the water was made ;roily where the intake pipe gets the water from the river and that it would result in damage to the pump. The marshal was Instructed to put a stop to the practice. The harvest festival ।committee was given the street privi­ lege* for the harvest festival to be !held August 19 and 20. F. L. Kyser's request for permission to cross Main street with a private sever from his residence on North Main street was> referred to the sewer committee. We heard a recent graduate of our schools, a young man. make this re­ mark the other day: ‘‘There is nothing to do, a fellow can’t find a job with a fine-tooth cAmb.” We feel sorry for that boy. He’s in wrong. There is a demand for good boys all the time. No matter how hard the times are. there <s always a demand for good boys who are willing to work; boys who can see around the dollar that is in front of their eyes as soon as they get a job. We know of boya who have been out of a job for a long time because they have been looking for the iob that suits them—the “snap" that the other fellow has. The boy who jumps into the first job that is" offered is the boy who is chosen when the boy-hunter comes. He is the boy whom his employer can recommend to the man who wants him for a better position. The boy trundling a wheelbarrow is taken while the boy who is loafing is left to find the “snap” that never comes. Wajteup, young man.

The meeting of the common council last Friday night to hear objections and suggestions, etc., to tbesewerquestion was one of the warmest affairs that was ever held the village. It was not expected that there would be many people present but the little council chamber was packed and everybody seemed to have something to say reSrding the establishment of a sewer the village. A petition, which had been circulated by O.M. McLaughlin» contained nearlv a hundred names, was presented. The petition asked the council to submit the question of whether the village should have a sewer qr not to a vote of the people. Mr. McLaughlin talked in favor of submitting lhe question to a vote of the people and gave as his reasons that It was only due to the people that they should have a say regard­ ing the matter of expending such a sum of money for a . public improve­ ment. E. D. Mallory. H.E. Downing, J. B. Marshall ana F. H. Ralridc talked in favor of the present way the council were going at the matter, and expressed lhe opinion there is no need of it being put to a vote of the people so long as the law does not require it. Mr. Mallory held that if it was put to a vote of the people it would entail an unnecessary expense and there would be no way of giving a vote to those people who would be directly inter­ ested in it and who would have the tax to pay. He held that it was un­ fair to allow people to vote who were not interested in it, and in view of the fact that the law says that a vote on the question Is not necessary and therefore so long as he had confidence in the intergrity of the members of the common council he felt that we could safely leave the matter to them.

There was nothing that floated that she could not .SOU. If she could get a boat, sfesoould make Portsmouth .harbor with­ out danger of pursuit Holding fast to Deborah, she fled along the road. Fortunately the way was deserted. They saw no one, and for a long time did not pass any bouses. The dawn was gray in the east Ellen Judged it was about half after four o'clock. They had been gone two hours from the castle and c. half hour from the carriage when the road swerved to the southward and led from tha forest to a little fishing hamlet oh the shore of Lyme bay. Nobody was as y*t stirring in the town, although lights twinkled here and there in the Windows, indicating that some of the fisherfolk were making ready for.their day's labor. Ellen was too desperately anxious to get away to stop to bargain with anyone for a boat She ran down to the little wharf jutting out into the small Inclosed harbor and rapidly se­ lecting the best of the little vessels tied there, she hauled in the painter, drew It alongside the wharf, made Deborah get aboard, laid five guineas down on the wharf where the boat had been secured, in the hope that the I owner of the boat would receive the money which was full value for the vessel, hoisted the sail, shoved away from the wharf, and under the influ­ ence of a gentle breeze ran rapidly out of tha harbor. As she cleared the headlands that marked the little haven, she found the wind fair for Portsmouth. She put the helm up, eased off ths sheet, and ran away dead before It for the place where she would ^be. Her heart ex­ ulted. She bad left Carrington, she bad shaken off Strathgate and she "Heart up. Debbie!” she cried. "If this brefce holds, a day should fetch ns into Portsmouth and another morn­ tag will see us safely bound far Phila­ delphia in my own ship. We are well rid of these villainous men." "I would Sir Charles Seton vcre here!" cried poor Debbie, who had not the advantage of Ellen's exten­ sive and intimate acquaintance with the male sex, and who, therefore, did not share her detestation of it "And what is he to thee, child?" asked Ellen gleefully. "He said he cared very much for me,” returned Deborah, "yesternight In the library over the good book of Master Baxter.” < “ Tis a gallant gentleman, Debbie.” returned Ellen. "But they are all that before marriage. My lord of Carrington I ouce thought was wellnigh perfect" Ellen stopped suddenly and com- "But what did he," asked Debbie, “that you leave him thus?” "I saw him in the arbor with his ama around Lady Cecily.

He had known that she had hanging In her closet the sailors suit which she had worn on her cruises with him. A dark suspi­ cion had come to him.

" He did not - find what he sought She had evidently worn it away, He turned from the room, ran through the hail and down the flight of stairs to th© library. The coachman awaited him. . . j "Who was with Strathgate when he bound you last night?" “A young man, I take it, my lud." answered the coachman. "The room was dark, with only the firelight, and I couldn't see very well. Lord Strathgate threatened me with a pis­ tol, or I'd have made ©Wtcry and resistance.

"No, my lud.” "Very well, you may go.” The maid curtsied and turned away. There was nothing unusual in El­ len's failure to summon her maid, bqt nevertheless Carrington felt some­ what uneasy.

He ran thither at once in spite of the fact that his conduct was attracting the attention of the servants passing to and fro about their various duties. He tried the handle of the door, which was shut, and found It was un­ locked. He threw it open. The bed had not been tenanted, yet Ellen had certainly undressed, for the gown and other things she had worn the night before lay in a tumbled, confused heap on the floor Just where she had kicked them off. Carrington stepped curiously over them. He lifted one by one the familiar articles of apparel.

Some are am absolute protection, others amount to practically nothing at all. If a man wants to protect his buildings he should use the best rod. The manufacturerwho makes the best rod gives you a guarantee with it. The man who makes a cheap rod, which be himself has no faith, in, will not give you a guarantee. I put up the Martin guaranteed rod at 15 cents per foot. If your building is struck by lightning and burned after being equipped with the Martin guar­ anteed rods, you get 1500 in cash. The fact that the manufacturers make thia guarantee |sbows that they know that their rod is an absolute protection against fire by lightning. Now isn't it foolish, in order to save a few dollar*, in rodding your building, to use a rod which neither the man who makes it nor the man who sells it has confidence in? If you want that kind of a rod, I will put up the ordinary copper rod at 10 cents per foot or I will sell you the steel wire rod at 2 cents per foot, but I would much ratbecftquip your build­ ings with the Martin guaranteed rod, which I knew, wifi protect them, and oa which you get a $500 cash guarantee that y-tur buildings are absolutely protected. Under any circumstances, do not allow anybody to put lightnings rods on your building until you have seen me. You are invited to call and eee this system demon­ strated. It is positively the only practical and safe system. C. J. Scheldt �BMionranos . PNCRIflB ISSUED CM1M TOWNS IRE BURNED II? CEREMONIES ARE ANNOUNCED AS NON-PARTISAN, THIS BEING DECISION OF CONFAB.

As the pro­ cess of making a phonograph record is somewhat different from making a campaign speech from the back of a car platform or from a front porch, Mr. Taft Monday found Mrs. Taft laughing at him as he was doing a bit of rehearsing for the real records.

The speeches which a single record will hold aver­ age about 300 words in length.- The topics to be discussed for repetition in this way have not yet been decided upon.

Be careful not te buy disease with your flock. Sell your customers a good animal; it means doing business ulti­ mately with their friends. Don’t be everlastingly changing breeds; be a sticker. Don’t attempt to tear other breeds than that which you are hand­ ling to pieces. Have singleness and tenacity of purpose. Don’t Invent new makeshifts; such bring disaster. Keep salt, worm powders and fresh water before your flock at all times. Be regular In feeding. Change pas­ tures often. Don’t charge your mis­ takes to bad luck. Don’t allow your new purchases to die of homesickness. Don’t try to raise February lambs In summer barns Visit your state and county shows and don’t fall to exam­ ine the contesting carcasses at the fat stock shows.

When he went home to supper he walked into the room where five of his friends were seated, awaiting to remind him ' of the anniversary.

The ball game at River park last Saturday afternoon between the Bissels of Grand Rapids and the home team was a pretty contest from beginning to end.

Morrison, the visitors’ pitcher, was hit quite freely in a majority of the innings but sharp fielding by his team mates kept the score down. Boonstra was in the box for Nashville and the visitors could do little with hia delivery, getting but five hits, while Nashville made thirteen. Nashville got four runs in the fourth on hits by Poff, Habersaat, Felghner and Nelson and a couple of wild thdbws by the visitors. They added one in the fifth on hits by Frank Purchlss and Dick Poff, and one more in the sixth by hits by Scheldt and Boonstra and an er­ ror. The visitors’ first run came in the sixth on a two-base hit by Kubioc and a single by Champion, and one in the ninth by an error and a hit by Butts.

Lansing, Micb.—One ot the business reforms of the present administration which 1* saving th* stat* hundreds of dollar* has been the introduction of a system of comparative report* of the cost of supplies at the various instl tutions maintained by Lbe state. The uae of this report marks th* intro Auction into the management of the state institutions of a practice sue cessfully used by many large, private corporations. Each month the ste­ ward* of the various state institu­ tions are required to make an item ized report to tie ,governor’s office of the amount purchased and (be coat of meat*, fish, poultry, flour, ^ffee. tea, sugar. b«ttar, m.lK. eggs, vegetables and coal; These reports are received from-tbe five in*i ue asylums at Kai amazoo, Pontiac.’ Traverse Qjty, New berry and Ionia; from the three pri* one at Jackson, Marquette and Ionia; the Industrial schools at Adrian and Lansing, the state school at Cold-, water, the school for the deaf al .Flinty the two schools for the blind at Lansing and Saginaw, the home for tbe feeble minded at Lapeer and th* soldiers home at Grand Rapids. > Immediately upon receipt of these reports from the various institutions tbey are compiled in the governors office and a printed comparative state­ ment is issued, copies being sent to the board of trustee, tbe managing official and the steward of each instl tution. In addition copies are sup­ plied the press, thus securing the full­ est publicity. By this table is re­ vealed at a glance the cost of the various materials covered In tbe com­ pilation at each Institution. Natural­ ly the management of every institu­ tion Is anxious to make tbe beet pos­ sible showing, and there is a constant effort on. all sides to reduce cost* for supplies. The result to the state is a saving of many, many dollars. FIRST PRINCIPLES THEN MEN. Primary Campaign Revolves About Certain Popular Questions. One fact In the present campaign which the enemies of the present ad­ ministration seem to have wholly-lost sight of is that it la, and will be, a campaign for certain principles and not a campaign of personalities. War­ ner's campaign is conducted on the theory that the people of Michigan de­ mand certain reforms, that the people as a whole, assured of these reforms, have but a secondary Interest In the personal of the candidate. The anti admlnlstratlonists, however, have to date conducted their campaign on the personality of the governor alone, and to date their campaign Is admittedly a total failure. So long as they con tlnue their present policy of ignoring the principles involved In the contest and confining themselves to abuse ot Warner their efforts will be worse than futile. Just as the enemies of the administration made Warner's candidacy for a third term Inevitable, so they continue to make his success at the, primary equally certain. The people of Michigan want a clean cut, thorough going, effective primary election law, and so they look to the men who have fought for such a law rather than to the men who have opposed it and are responsible for its defeat Tbe people want adequate and ef­ fective control of public utility corpor­ ations, especially the railroads, and so they look to that element In the party which made an aggressive fight for these things rather than to that element which was responsible for their defeat in the legislature. The people want escape from th* injustice of over capitalisation of rail­ roads and similar corporations, and so they turn to a candidate for gov­ ernor who tried to effect this rather than to the representative of the men who defeated it. The people want a square deal in taxation. They want the biggest cor­ poration in the state to pay taxes on exactly th* same basis as the farmer who has cleared a little farm, or the laboring man who has bought at great sacrifice a little home, and so they will, vote for a public official who used every ounce of his influence to se­ cure such a reform rather than to the men who with specious arguments de­ feated this measure. It is not Fred M. Warner primarily whom th* people want at all. It is the things be is fighting for, and they want them because they are right, and fair, and. just. ENROLLMENT AUGUST SATURDAY, t».

John Sargent, the famous painter, is something of an eccentric in private life. When engaged on any important work he will suddenly disappear from London—only for a few days—and where he goes nobody knows. Then he returns from his hiding place, bring­ ing his picture with him. One of tbe secrets of his wonderful lifelike por­ traits is that he always alms at trans­ mitting the mind and feeling of his sitter, as well as his outside shell on to his canvas. The faithfulness of Mr. Sargent's portraits is such that Mr. Dooley was once led to remark that “No artist in our day has succeeded so well in showing up the manenes* lv th’ people he has mugged."

In that case there should be.evidence of the wound In tbe shape of blood on lhe seat or foot­ board. Although he searched care­ fully, be could Qnd no blood stains. There had been no rain. To all intetnls and purposes tbe carriage had been undisturbed and he could only conclude that tbe driver had in some way escaped a wound. He thought bard for awhile and finally decided that the driver must have had pre­ vious warning and must have crouched down on the footboard, driving from there. Then he examined the harness. The traces had been cut and of course both horses had disappeared. There was a broken spot In the earth at tbe base of tbe nearest tree as if some object had been burled violent­ ly to/the -ground. The bark of the tree was slightly scaled. He knelt down and examined it closely. Yes. there were blood stains on the white ‘edges. What had happened was evi­ dent. Tbe -breaking wheel had so abruptly checked ‘the carriage that the driver had been thrown violently to the ground and had been knocked senseless by striking the tree.- The driver waa Strsthgate. The ground was somewhat soft in the shadow and footprints were 'dis­ cernible tn the low spot where tly» carriage had fallen. There were marks of a woman's shoe and a man's, albeit a man of small feet, by the side of the carriage door and other marks around the horses. From the trampling' and hoof marks Seton con­ cluded that the horses must have stood quiet for some time. He surmised that the Inmates of the carriage had taken advantage of the stop to get out and go ahead while Strathgate lay stunned. He was puzzled to account for the prints of the man's shoes by the side of the carriage door. They were too small for Strathgate's foot He di­ vined that the prints of the woman's shoes in the soft ground were made by Debbie's feet The other must have been made by Lady Ellen's, although what she was doing with a man's shoe on he could by no means under­ stand. He did not know In what guise she had escaped from the ball. He tried to follow the trail of the separate footsteps but lost It in the bard ground. After a few moments he went back to the carriage and stud­ ied the matter deeply, but could come to no conclusion. There were only two thoughts that gave him any comividently ond was e of enhow ac-. □ugh the encourto know I, but at lust have S>«! nM.tbougbl ot He galloped down the road and in a few minutes came to a little fishing village. Some of the fishermen had gone off for the day's work In their boats, but one grizzled sailor was moodily pacing up and down the Utile wharf. Reining his horse In on the shore, Seton hailed him. anything of two or three people, twowomen and a man inquiring for a boat this morning?” v "No," growled the -man. "but I had a boat at this wharf, the best boat in the haven, and when I coms down this morning kt five o'clock she was gone.” "Gone!" cried Seton, dismounting from his horse in his excitement "What do you mean?" - "Just what I say, your honor/ turned the man. "She was tied right there”—be pointed to one of the spiles—"and when I got up I was the first man down here at the wharf, she was gone." "Was there any message—any clew "Naught but this," returned tbe sail­ or, pulling out of his pocket a handful of shining gulpeas. . Here was proof positive to Seton. It flashed into bls mind that Ellen had mentioned that a ship belonging to her was loaded at Portsmouth. He saw It all now. Jn some war Ellen and Deborah had escaped from Strath­ gate. Ellen had instinctively turned to the seashore. She had taken this man's ship and was bound for Ports­ mouth. "Well, my friend, I don't see that you have anything to complain of." "How’s that, sir?" queried the sailor. "Certainly the boat was hardly worth mbre than five guineas.” Tve naught to say about the price," returned the man. "but I'd like to rve been spoken to before my property "I have no doubt that you will get your property back In the end,” re­ turned Seton, confidently. ; "And the five guineas?" queried the man, anxiously, his countenance changing. "And the five guineas, too.” "Good!" exclaimed the boatman, greatly relieved. . "Now, I want to know how far it is from here to Portsmouth?" "A matter of between 30 and 40 leagues, dependin' on the wind,” said tbe man. ■ "Would your boat be big enough to make that distance?" "Lord love yer honor, she's big enough to go to France.” "But could a-woman handle her?" "If she knowed the sea and a boat •—a child could do it” "Was there any provision aboard?" “A breaker of fresh water and may­ hap some hard bread." "Good!" said Seton, reassured that the fugitives were not starving at any rate. "Now, 1 want to get to Ports­ mouth. and I want to go by sea."

Some are an absolute protection, others amount to practically nothing at all. If a man wants to protect his buildings be should use the best rod. The manufacturer who makes the best rod gives you a guarantee with It. The man who makes a cheap rod, which he himself has no faith in, will not give you a guarantee. I put up the Margin guaranteed rod at 15 cents per foot. If your building is struck by lightning and burned after being equipped with tbe Martin guar­ anteed rods, you get 1500 in cash. The fact that the manufacturers make this guarantee (shows that tbey know that their rod is an absolute protection against fire by lightning. Now isn’t it foolish, in order to save a few dollars in rodding your building, to use a rod which neither the man who makes it nor the man who sells it has confidence in? If you want that kind of a rod, I will put up the ordinary copper rod at 10 cento per foot or I will sell you the steel wire rod at 2 oente per foot, but I would much rather equip your build­ ings with the Martin guaranteed rod, which I know will protect them, and on which you get a $500 cash guarantee that your buildings ji re absolutely protected. Under any circumstances, do not allow anybody toptrt lightning rods on your building until you have seen me. You are invited to call and see this syetem demon­ strated.

Recent Increase of Freight Rate* to Common Point* In the State I* the Baal* for Complaint to Inter-State Commerce Body. Washington, Aug. 11.—The railroad commission of Texas Monday filed a formal complaint with the interstate commerce commission against 67 rail­ roads and other common carriers, al­ leging a conspiracy on the part of the defendants through the Southwestern Traffic association for the suppression of competition and restraint of trade in the recent action increasing freight rates to common points in Texas. The commission will forward notice of this complaint to all the carriers involved and will give them 15 days to reply, the usual period allowed for answering a complaint .being 20 days. Tbe commission will expedite this case as much as possible on account of It* widespread importance. The complaint is signed by Allison Mayfield, chairman of the Texas rail­ road commission with R. V. Davidson, attorney general, and Claude Pollard, assistant attorney general of the state of Texas, countersigning the paper. Figure* are Compared. The complaint undertake* to com­ pare the alleged cost of maintenance and operation of the railroads with the actual cost, and the claimed indebted­ ness. which la supposed to justify the increase, with the actual indebted­ ness. The railroad commission of Texas, It appears, has appraised the cost of construction and operation of the roads aa well as the actual indebt­ edness upon which the rates may be fairly based. Flight freight schedules which have recently been filed with the cosgmisslon are made the basis of the com­ plaint, and all are claimed to have been brought about by an unlawful agreement between the defendant car­ riers and the Southwestern Traffic as­ sociation of which they are member*, or whose members represent, through power of attorney, those who are not. It declares that the Increased rates will fall'primarily upon the commodi­ ties of prime utility and daily necessi­ ty; that they will seriously disturb trade relations, causing loss to ship­ pers and Che consuming public.

BOILER BLOWS UP; 8 DEAD TERRIFIC EXPLOSION IN A MILL AT YORK, PA. i Many Person* Are Injured and Great Damage Done to Property— Entire City Shocked. York. Pa., Aug. 11.—Eight men were killed, nearly a score of others more or less seriously injured and thou­ sands. of dollars' worth of property damaged by the explosion of a boiler in the York rolling mill late Monday afternoon. . A rescue party was quickly organ ized and search for bodies waa insti­ tuted. Ambulances from the York hospital were hurried to the scene of the explosion but owing to the num­ ber of dead and Injured, delivery wagons and other conveyances were pressed Into service. While the injured were being looked after, the bodies of the dead were being carried from the ruins ot the building. A majority of those killed had their heads and limbs tors from their bodies and were so badlj mangled that Identification was almost an impossibility. The mttl had been closed down foi about a week and two score of men were engaged In making repairs to an engine. The men were working close to .the boiler and when the explosion occurred not one ot them was able to make his escape. The shock was so terrific that it demolished a large por­ tion of the mill and sent heavy pieces of twisted Iron and metal In all di­ rections. The plant of tbe Broomal, Schmidt & Steacy company, near the scene of the explosion, was badly dam­ aged, and a horse which was standing 300 yards distant from the mill was Instantly killed. Box cars on the rail­ road siding adjoining the mill were torn to splinter* and several persons close to the damaged building at die time of the explosion were slightly In­ jured by flying debris. The shock was felt over the entire city. The head of the boiler, about four feet square, wnr hurled nearly a block. The injured, many of whom were bo black with smoke that they could not be recognized, are all expected to re­ cover. KILLED IN AUTO ACCIDENT. Priest and Rich Tailor of Cleveland Die Near Sylvania, O.

Must Answer Charge* for Failure to . Suppress Gambling. Chicago. Aug. 10.—The result of Sat­ urday's primary election, *o far as it is accurately known, in regard to state officers. Is as follows: Democratic state ticket—Indorsed for United States senator. Lawrence B. Stringer; nominated for governor. Adlal E. Stevenson; lieutenant gov­ ernor. E. A. Perry. secretary of state, X. F. Beidler; auditor, Ralph Jeffris; treasurer. J. B. Mount; attorney gen­ eral, R. C. Hall; clerk of supreme court (return® too meager to estimate). Republican state ticket—Indorsed for United States senator (doubtful between Albert J. Hopkins and George •E. Foss); governor, (available re­ turns Indicate Charles 8. Deneen); lieutenant governor, J. G. Oglesby or F. L. Smith; secretary of state, Jame* A. Rose; auditor. J. 8. McCullough; treasurer. Andrew Russell; attorney general, William H. Stead; clerk of supreme court, Christopher D. Marner. Return* Slow to Come In. Never since ^political return* werecarried by messengers on foot, by ox teams and canal boats have definite figures been.so greatly delayed in any Illinois election a* in the one just closed. Twenty-four hours after - the polls closed it was impossible to give ac­ curate returns on the vote for sena­ torial nomination on the Republican ticket. The vote was so close, and the returns so scanty that absolutely ac­ curate statements in relation'to these two. contests were Impossible. The returns on the Democratic ticket were even more deliberate, if possible, than those on' tbe Republican candidates. They were, however, definite and seemed to run in one di­ rection so that an estimate of the ac­ tual result was possible. Fo«* Carrie* Cook County. The vote for the Republican sena­ torial Indorsement in Chicago and Cook county was': For Hopkins, 40,­ 258; Mason. 39,917; Foss, 50,252; giv­ ing Foss a plurality over Hopkins of 9,894. In the state outside of Cook county the contest seemed to be fairly even between Hopkin* and Foss, with Mason falling far to the rear. The general returns were perhaps a shade In favor of Hopkins, but whether or not his vote In the outside counties will enable- him to overcome the strong lead gained by Foss in Cook county is not yet known, and it will probably be Monday night before a positive statement can be made on the result. The Democratic senatorial en­ dorsement may be dismissed with the ■ingle statement that Stringer won. easily In every county In the state so far as heard from Sunday night Deneen or Yates? For the Republican gubernatorial Bomtnation Deneen received in Chi­ cago and Cook county. 79,700 votes; Yates, 72.109; giving Deneen a plural­ ity in Chicago and Cook county of 7,591. _ The returns so far as received Sunday night, did not show that Yates was cutting down this lead. In fact, they seemed to show that De­ neen was slightly increaseing his plu­ rality. His party managers, claimed the state by at least 10,000, and free­ ly predicted that hts vote over Yates would show, an even larger majority. Tbe returns, however, were so slow and scattered that it wa* entirely po* Bible for Yates to win out with a hand­ some margin. His campaign mana­ gers, in fact, claimed that he had done ■o by about 10.000. Adlal E. Stevenson, former vice president of the United States, ran fat ahead of his opponents tor the Demo­ cratic gubernatorial nomination, al­ though James Hamilton Lewi* of Chi­ cago made a phenomenal run in Chi­ cago and Cook county, securing nearly a* many vote* as all other candidate! together. Peoria County'* Vote. One of the first counties outside of Cook to send in practically complete returns was Peoria. Sixty-eight pre clnts out of 70 in this county gave Hopkins 2,565; Mason. 1,561; Foss, 2.325. for senatorial indorsement on the Republican ticket For the Re­ publican nomination for governor the figures were Yates. 8,276; Deneen, 3,008.

He had pur­ posely tampered with the screw to give her a petty victory, and now she was cast back amid her bitter cogita­ tions again, and,her eyes neither saw him nor the toy as she sat by the win­ dow and propped her chin in one thin hand. It was her favorite seat; for from that particular window she watch tbe brown sweep of dusty road until it dodged behind the curve.

Instead, sat down beside Mrs. Burnham and re­ turned her mechanical smile with a curt nod. But the veteran and tbe selectman could only bubble in the keenest anticipation. "Wai, shall we have some music?" inquired Mr. Burnham. "Let's set an’ talk a while," sniffed the clerk, not turning his head. "Wai, we can talk while it’s playin',” compromised Mr. Burnham. .

"Here's Bob’s picture," whispered tbe mother, reaching a fluttering hand over the clerk's shoulder. But the other's attention faded Into nothing­ ness. and he Jerked about in lasting amaze, as the smashing roar of the bass drum, lhe purr of the snare and blatant blare of the trombones, deco­ rated and frilled into fanciful conceit* by piccolo and cornet, began streaming from tbe reproducer to drown her rhapsody. He bad had no idea It would be like thia, and he could not censure the old veteran for nervously stumping back and forth in an eccentric effort to keep time.

There was a time when th* same amount of feed that costs a dollar now cost only 50 cents, and it was a problem of giving it to this same cow and having her. return 90 cents' worth of product for it The transaction showed a profii in those days) it shows a loss now. The higher the price of feed, th* more necessary will it be to weed out the poorest cow and buy or raise a better one. The owner of a poor cow should not wait until he has a good cow to put in the place of the poor one before disposing of her. Why should be keep a cow that cannot pay him a profit? asks Farmers' Voice. The sooner he gets her beef value into his pocket the better. The sum of money real­ ised wlll.Jf placed in a bank, at least bring him some Income and it will not be consuming high-priced feed. Search out the poor cow and get rid of her. We cannot utilize our time more profitably than In making frequent and thorough examinations of our cows to find whether they are a~ high-priced product It should be remembered that cows differ greatly in this respect, as some from th* same amount of feed will turn out a product containing two per cent of butter fat, while others will turn out a four per cent product Therefor*, the poor cows are wasting half of the feed given them in comparison with tbe other cows. • If feed is supplied to cows of high quality several times as much money will be made as If given to the poorer cows, because the additional yields ob­ tained from the feed are all profit. A little figuring will convince any­ one that the four per cent, cow is more than twice as valuable as the two per cent. cow. A year's feed may be put into a two per cent, cow and she may produce from it just enough to pay expenses, while the same feed may be put Intd the four per cent, cow and produce a profit of 150.

Ha* One of the most important things to consider in th* improvement of the farm dairy is th* machinery that is to be sued. Before the creamery came to lighten th* burdens of the farm­ er’s wife, most of the work connected with lhe farm dairy was done with­ out the help of machinery. On many farms to-day. where farm butter is still being made no dairy machinery is d*od except the churn But in the improved dairy every possible form of dairy machinery must be need. If it is not, there will be no uniformity of the farm dairy products. The hand separator must be the first piece of machinery purchased. Thea must come the milk testing machine and the scales to weigh the milk. In ad­ dition must come the butter worker and the various appliances that go with it Cream ripeners also must be­ come common, and all the arrange­ ments for managing starters. To se­ cure these things and learn bow to use them is one ot the most Important atepa in Improving the product that goes forth to the world under th* name of farm butter. There is no present—or future—dan­ ger- of over production in the dairy fi*ld. We are hardly able to keep pace with tbe demand. This Indicates a need of more concerted effort—■ more When You Paint When-you paint it takes just as long to put on poor paint as it does good.

The First Requisite In its Production Is Good Cows. To make first-claw, fine* flavored butter you must have good cows. They must be well fed. sheltered, watered and kindly treated, if you want them to pay you tor their board. No one,, however skillful, ever made up by care Indoors what is* lost by carelessness or meanness outdoors. You don't need fancy stable*, but they should be warm and comfort­ able, light and clean. We have no silo, writes a correspondent ot Orange Judd Farmer. Our cow* are fed corn stover put through ■ feed cutter run by horse power. There is considerable corn In it. We also feed a. peek of grain a day and waiter from a well In the yard. The sows are never left out in extreme cold or storms only long enough to drink twice a day We have a separator. You cannot afford to be without, a separator if you want good butter In winter and lots of it when the price is high. After the milk Is separated I let It stand until it Is cool—usually several hours—then put it in the big cream pall. I have two, bolding six gal­ lons each*. They stand on a big table right behind the kitchen range, where I can frequently stir tbe cream when thoroughly ripened. I add one very small teaspoonful of butter color to one pail of cream, which Is all we usually efiurn. Scald the eburn and rinse the pall >ith a quart of water, □ot too hot, and add to the cream. This usually makes it about the right temperature. If extremely cold I set the pall of cream on tbe reservoir for an hour or sa. watching carefully and stirring frequently to see it does not get too hot. $fe rarely churn over 15 minutes. To-day we had 20 pounds. It camo in half an hour aad I never saw nicer butter in June. I churn until the butter is gath­ ered enough to draw off the butter­ milk without adding water. ' I don't like to do tMs; my reason is, my mother is an invalid, and the doctor has ordered her to drink buttermilk, and such delicious buttermilk as sep­ arator cream does make! The cor­ rect way Is to add cold water when in granular form, but it care is taken to thoroughly wash out all butter­ milk, I can't see that it makes any difference. I do not use a butter worker if I can avoid IL I know my butter Is better when worked by hand with an old-fashioned ladle.

Quick Tidings A Big Water Melon We are going to give a water-melon feed during the evening of tbe last day of the harvest festival Thursday. August 20, while the grand illumination is on. We have a big water-melon in the win­ dow, which measures some­ where between twenty and eighty feet in circumference and then we will have more and we are going to feed everybody who is water-mel­ on hungry. Then there is more to it, which the card in the window will tell. It will be one of the big events of the festival aud you can not afford to miss it, even if you don't want to eat It.

Select the Breed Which Will Produce Kind of Milk You WanL Before the dairyman can be success­ ful in either branch be must draw the line between the breeds that excel la the yield of milk and those that give milk rich In cream. The first thing the scientific dairyman does Is to se­ lect the breed for the purpose he may have in view. The next will be to feed in such a manner as to secure the largest yield of either milk or but­ ter in proportion to the cost of food and tbe cost of food depends upon tbe adaptability for conversion Into the Ingredients entering into the compo­ sition of milk. It is a well established fact among ■ those who combine breeding with dairying that after a cow has raised two or three calves her value as a breeder may be pretty accurately de­ termined and she has also arrived at the age of best service in the dairy and as a calf producer. The heifer Is not the best mother, usually, but Im­ proves in maternal qualities a* she ap­ proaches maturity. It is therefore very uncertain in results to turn tbe heifer off because she does not with bar first calf equal the old cow in her produce. It is also bad management to turn tbe old cow off because she is old. when she has proven a valuable dairy animal and breeder of excellent calves. Many an old cow ha* produced a calf that would sell for three or four times what the old cow would sell for. The old cow, says Agricultural Epltomlst, Is often worth more to retain a* a producer of both calves and milk than to exchange for the uncer­ tainties of a young animal. There is no rule by which the age of a cow will determine tbe end of her period of usefulness. Borne cows remain strong and rigorous up to 15 years old, while others Indicate age and decline at ten.

Lord Carrington’s best horse was named Sailor. He was a magnificent black, built tor speed, but not with­ out great powers of endurance. - Like all Englishmen, my lord was a fa­ mous horseman, although he followed the sea for a livelihood. He war a ease in contradiction to the ancient adage that a sailor is never so much out of his element as when he is astride of a horse. Generations of fox-hunting fathers had given him a heritage of horsemanship which the years he had spent upon the sea could not eradicate. Not only was he an expert rider, but he was thor­ oughly familiar with what could be got out of a horse.. He knew how to ride him to the best advantage, when to spare him and when to press him. It seemed to the groom who fol­ lowed him on this occasion, hardly leu well mounted on one of my lord's beat hunters, that Carrington had forgotten all he knew, for he had •carcely entered upon the main road when he put Sailor to his best paces on the jump. In fact, ho redo him like one possessed. He spared neith­ er whip nor spur, but drove the horse forward as if the devil were after him and heafcn before him. Once the groom ventured to remonstrate. Car­ rington shut him up with a single > The furies of jealousy, of hate, cf Mvenge, were racing In bls hetrt. He had but one desire, to ride down Btrathgate and wrest Ellen from his hands. He had no doubt that the three were headed for Portsmouth, He, too, remembered that there was a ship belonging to Ellen about ready to sail from that harbor, and he di­ vined more quickly than Seton did that it■ was thither she was bound. He expected, sines the party bad gone in a carriage and could by no means anake the speed be was making, that he would overhaul them before night­ fall, and tn his black mood he was willing to kill bls faithful horse, or aay number of horses, to bring about the capture and stoppage ot the fugi­ tives one moment earlier than could otherwise have been attained. As If to punish him for his misuse «f a noble steed who responded gal- •pur, voice and appeal his master brought to bear. Bailor had the bad he went Instantly lame. With a bit tar curse Carrington dismounted and examined the horse. The poor beast stood panting and exhausted, his flanks heaving, his heart beating, hie he<l drooping. The groom had been distanced and left behind. Carring­ ton wu alone wf|h a lame horse miles, apparently, from a posting station or a blacksmith’s shop. There wm noth­ ing to do but wait He sat down by the roadside, his eyes strained back­ ward in the direction whence be hp.d come, looking for the groom.

As my Lord Carrington rode with Increasing satisfaction and t Sir Charles Seton sailed In a growing sense of self-congratulation in that he alone was on the right track, my lord of Strathgate was full of bewilder­ ment. Like Carrington, he, too, made inquiries at every posting station, at every wayside inn, from every passer­ by. as to the whereabouts of the two who had escaped him, and everywhere he had been met by ap absolute lack of information. A dozen times he had hesitated— mentally, that is—as to his course, yet in every case he had persuaded him­ self that the fugitives must be head­ ed for Portsmouth. Ellen had made it quite clear to him that there was her destination. There had not been the least secrecy as to her plans. There was nothing whatever to be gained by pursuing the way Strathgate had “What la the Meaning of Thia?” taken them when the, to him. unfor­ the best we have.

DOWNING, Auct. Carrington's advance became slower and slower. Strathgate, by hard riding, reached ’Portsmouth about nightfall. Carring­ ton was not to arrive, although he pressed on all night, until the follow­ ing morning. Strathgate was morally certain that the people he was chas­ ing could not have reached Ports­ mouth before him. Indeed, he bad made a record-breaking trip from Car­ rington, so he was not hurried in bls preparations for the night A bath, a royal supper, clean clothes, all of which his money and his rank made easy to procure, greatly refreshed him. . Therefore, although he had been up all the night before and wanted sleep badly, he determined to make some Inquiries before he went to bed. He found, to his great surprise, that the Now Eagle, which wm the name of the ship owned by the countess of Carrington, had sailed that morning. So far fortune favored him, for Lady Ellen would arrive at Portsmouth, be thought, and find her ship gone. He enlisted the service of the land­ lord and secured a number of men whom he posted at the various inns, with instructions to notify him im­ mediately in cMe Ellen and Deborah arrived. He could give an accurate description of the two, and he felt that he had thus spread a net which they could not escape. Then he went comfortably to bed and slept the sleep of the very weary, if not of the con­ science free. Carrington, plunging along on ex­ hausted. half-foundered horses, the leavings of Btrathgate, lost the com­ parative cheerfulness of the morning and worked himself up into such a fury that It he had come across the earl be would probably have killed him out of hand without giving him a chance for defense. ___ _____ _ (To be continued) She Likes Good Things.

WEEK MODERN VAI-JEAN NABBED Lansing.—Judge- Mandell, in the Wayne circuit court, dissolved the in­ ’ junction restraining Hayden Stone & Co. of Boston from disposing of the securities which they hold as collat­ eral for loans made to the failed brokerage firm of Cameron Currie & Co. of Detroit. The securities approxi­ mate in value $1,675,000 and secure claims of Hayden Stone & Co. amount­ ing to $1,300,000. The dissolution of the restraining order Was opposed by a number of attorneys representing intervening creditors who claim spe­ cific stocks among the collateral as their own, which they allege Currie A Co. had no right to have deposited for collateral. No stocks are exempted from the operation of the order. The order dissolving the Injunction directs Receiver Austin to order the sale of .the securities. The court authorized the receiver to secure an expert to watch the interests of the creditors and to advise as to the time and place of the sale. Attorney Stevenson, rep­ resenting Hayden Stone A Co., for the first time made a full statement of that firm's position in the failure. He said- “We have decided to come into this court and submit ourselves fully to its jurisdiction in this case. But we say that with the understanding that everybody having claims will do likewise. We have been notified by many creditors that the}’ claim specific stock and some of them are threaten­ ing to sue us, for that stock in sep­ arate actions. Before we will allow such claims to be prosecuted we will go Into a court of equity at Boston and fight this suit there. If the order is granted we will sell the stock, keep enough of the proceeds to cover our claim, and turn the balance over to the. receiver and try out every claim against us in this court.” Must Wed to Secure U.

Back came tbe discouraging informa­ tion that she could not take a civil service examination, as positions in the government service may be held by only native or naturalised citizens. How to become a naturalized citizen is a question that is concerning not only Miss Moxness, but tbe attorney general's department.

The Nashville Lumber Co K Martin’s Lightning Proof, Better than Insurance Lightning Rods ■There is all the difference in the world in lightning rods. Some are an absolute protection, others amount to practically nothing at all. If a man wants to protect his buildings he should use the best rod. The manufacturer who makes the best rod gives you a guarantee with it. The man who makes a cheap rod, which be himself has no faith in, will not give you a guarantee. I put up the Martin guaranteed rod at 15 cents per foot. If your building is struck by lightning and burned after being equipped with the Martin guar­ anteed -rods, you get $500 in cash. The fact that the manufacturers make thia guarantee |showr'tha» they know that tfrer rod is an absolute protection against fire by light ng. Now isn’t it foolish, in order to save a few dollars in rodding your building,' to use a rod which neither the man who makes it nor the man who sells'it has confidence in? If you want that kind of a rod, I will put up the ordinary copper rod at 10 cents per foot or I will sell you the steel wire rod at 2 cent* per foot, but 1 would much rather equip your build­ ings with the Martin guaranteed rod, which I know will protect them, and on which you get a $500 cash guarantee that your buildings are absolutely protected. Under any circumstances, do not allow anybody to put lightning rods on your building until you have seen me. You are invited to can and see this system demon­ strated. It is p .!■ j tbe only practical and safe system. C. J. Scheldt �n show it NINE HAVE REJECTED U WEST MICH. FUR Refuse ft Help "Boars" Um Will Eclipse All Previous Exhibitions.

Atkinson officials across the highway and street railway tracks to an enclosure within the grounds. Inside this enclosure will be two ticket offices, so that visItore arriving at the fair by either ol these roads may have every conveni­ ence for entering the grounds con­ veniently and promptly. The added convenience of a station nt this point will be greatly appre­ ciated, especially by patrons from the north. The entrance is conveniently located, just north of the new sheep shed and at the apex of the splendid new system of cement walks which have been laid inside the grounds since the last fair. > During the past year the fair man­ agement has expended about 83,500 on new cement walks. At the close of the fair last September all the old board walks were torn up and the excavations were filled with sand taken from the hills to the northwest of the fair grounds. The new walks Insure good footing in every direc­ tion from the grand stand and main exhibition 'building, no matter what may be the weather conditions. Last fall the fair officials purchased from H. D. Plumb’s Sons a tract of 22 acres of land lying to the north and adjacent to the fair grounds. Be­ cause of lack of funds to properly fence and Improve this, addition to the grounds, it will not be opened to the public this year. But a suc­ cessful fair this season will certainly insure its being Improved and made available for exhibition purposes in 1909. According to present plans, the agricultural field and one or two other departments of the fair will probably be locatedCon this addition at that time. The new Comstock Park station and the new system of cement walks about the grounds are two features which will make for the comfort of MI patrons of the fair, and the fair management le to be congratulated on these notable Improvements • to the ilready'Hne grounds with their excep­ tional surroundings. Enter Your Products. Every farmer or breeder should not fall to^ enter his choice products at the West Michigan State Fair. He often thinks that among so many en­ tries he will have no chance for a prize. His neighbor thinks the same. Thea when they visit the fair and see others walk off with ribbons won on specimens far inferior to their own their chagrin is great. But the fault is their own. The successful com­ petitor was more enterprising, if his product was not as high-class. Enter your products at the fair. It will pay you. The prize- list for the West Michi­ gan State Fair, which will be held in Grand Rapids the week of Sept 14-18, has been announced by Secre­ tary E. D. Conger. It is larger, bet­ ter and more comprehensive than ever, an aggregate of $24,000 in purses and premiums being offered. Of this amount $18,000 is for fair, premiums proper, the balance of $5,000 being bung up for racing purses. The appropriation by the legislature of $5,000 a year for premiums at the West Michigan Fair has enabled the premium committee to materially in­ crease the number and amount of the awards in the various departments. In consequence the inducements of­ fered to Michigan farmers and stock raisers to exhibit their products are exceptional, arid are certain to bring out the best the state has to offer. Just how greatly the Increase af­ fects the different departments can best be seen by a comjiarlson of the awards in a few of them. In the horse department, tor instance. $4,300, approximately, has been set aside, as W. L. THORPE against about $3,300 last year; in the cattle department the amount has been Candidate for Republican Nomina­ increased from $3,360 to $4,517. The tion For County Clerk. same ratio ot increase is maintained In the other departments, and in the cattle, sheep and swine departments the number of premiums has been Increased from three to four in each class, the aim .being to more widely distribute the premium money. ’ Prize winners will not only have the glory of winning ribbons at the fair, but the satisfaction of taking away with them something more substantial as on incentive to future exhibits. And, in addition to the increase in prominins, the fair is this year recog­ nized by- a larger number ot breeders' associations than has ever been the case before. Special prizes, which do not figure in the regular list Qf awards, consisting of gold medals, are offered to West Michigan fair exhibitors by the PerCheron Society of America, for both Percheron stallions and mares. The Holateln-Freslan Breeders' As­ sociation has recognized for two years past tho growing Importance of this fair by offering a series of special cash W. W. POT-fcR prizes In the Holstein, classes. The American Shorthorn Breeders’ Asso­ Candidate for Republican Nomina­ ciation has followed suit this year, tion for Prosecuting and a class for Ayrshires has been, Attorney. created for tho first time, in which a full list of cash awards and champion­ ship ribbons are offered. In the sheep department two or three breeifers' associations have come to the front with offers similar to those of the Percheron society and the cattle breeders* associations. A department that Is entirely new this year, and which promises to be a strong drawing card, is that of pho­ tography, both amateur and profes­ sional. In which prizes worth while are offered. From every point'of view the West Michigan State Fair is certain to ex­ cel all previous attempts in the exhi­ bition line ever promoted tn this sec­ tion. With added departments and more and better exhibits attracted by the Increased pren.’nm list, there is every reason to believe that it will prove the greatest attraction of the year.

Excursion Rates to the Fair. In connection with the West Michi­ gan State Fair, at Grand Rapids, Sept. 14-18, the Michigan Passenger asso­ ciation, which governs the granting of special fares on all railroads, has de­ termined on the rate of fare on all lines leading into Grand Rapids, dur­ ing that occasion. One and two-thirds the one way fare will be the price for round trip tickets'. Suppose your station is 75 miles from Grand Rapids, the-fare each way being $1.50. The special arrangement wHl make your fare going $1.5<L returning $1. a total both ways of $z.5O. Last year the rate on most ot the roads was three cents per mile, and tho roads gave a rate of one-half fare, which would have been $2.25 for the same distance, but In order to secure this rate the purchaser was required to purchase an admission ticket to the fair grounds, which was attached to the railroad ticket While the railroad rate this ygar is a trifle WM. McLRAVY higher than last year, the fair coupon is eliminated. Fair tickets will be Candidate for Republican Nomina­ purchased at the fair gates. The railroads throughout this sec­ tion for Prosecuting Attorney. tion are cordially cooperating to make the fair a success, and literature con cernlng the fair may be obtained at stations along all roads which enter Grand Rapids.

Candidate far Republican Nomina* At the solicitation of friends from all quarters of Barry county, and 1 te­ ller ins' I have had the experience that should qualify me for the office of sheriff, I hereby announce myself as a candidate for tbe republican nomi­ nation for that high office. For four years I was under sheriff, from 1897 to and including 1900. For the past nearly four years I have been deputy sheriff, with active service all the time. How well I have performed my duties I leave with the people of the county who know the record. Surely this service as an under officer ought to be of value to this county should I be nominated and elected, and I would atm to make it such. I have always believed that performance, rather than promises, should characterize the work of a public official, but it may not be inappropriate to say that If nominated ana elected I would en­ deavor |o fairly enforce every law on the statute book as I found it. My conception of the office of sheriff is that the sheriff is not responsible for the laws, but he is responsible for their enforcement and takes a solemn oath that he will enforce the laws. I might say therefore, that the oath of office which a sheriff must take is my platform. More is unnecessary. Less is insufficient. I ask the support of the republican voters of the county at the September primary. Harry S. Ritchle. BIG PAY FOR BOYS AND GIRLS. Each Day Spent In School la Worth Does it pay to go to school? This is the question that many young people are asking themselves. It certainly does pay: for school pre­ pares one to fill a larger place in the world, to serve the world better, and to live more completely than be other­ wise would do. But does It pay financially to go to school? If so, what is a young per­ son’s time spent in school worth in dollars and cents?. The following clipping will help to answer this ques­ tion: ‘ ‘If an uneducated man earns 11.50 a day for 300 days in a year he does very well; and if he keeps it up for forty years, he will earn >1.50x300x40 or 118,000 An educated man is not generally paid by the day, but by the month, and by the year. If you will strike an average of the earnings of educated men, beginning with the President of the United States, who earns 150,000 a year, the presidents of the insurance companies and of large railroad companies, and run down the table until you come to the lower walks in point of earnings among edu­ cated men, you will admit that>l,000 a year is a low average for the earnings of educated labor. For 40 years you have >40,000 at the earnings of an educated man. Substract >18,000 from >40,000 at the difference, or 622,000, must represent the value of a boy's time spent at school getting an education. “Now if >22,000 represents the value of time a boy spends at school getting an education, what is the value of a day spent at school? “The average school life of every boy and girl in Michigan is about seven years of 200 days each; let us say that it takes four more to get a good education. Reckoning 11 years of 200 days each, you will find that the 2200 days at school are equal to >22,000, and a simple division on the blackboard will bring it home to the comprehension of every boy that each day at school, properly spent, must be worth >10.

Im> necessary for you to enroll again: but do not confuse the enrollment with the registration. The registration comes before the vote is taken next ‘ fall and the enrollment comes before the primaries, or rather the caucuses to nominate the candidates for the offices. And in connection with thia let us again say that every voter should enroll and then go to the pri­ maries and cast his vote. There nev­ er was a system under which he could more freely exercise his inalienable right of franchise than by the primary ballot. He can vote for the man ha wants to run on the ticket and then he canagain support the man he waatg. to have the office without anyone or a ring telling him whom he must sup­ port!. There can be no swapping of votes in the caucus, whereby many incompetent and ineligible men have been placed in office. The primary ballothas been demanded by the peo­ ple and now they have it they should exercise their right by making use of it. Next Saturday is enrollment day in Castleton township. See that your name is on the book. John M. Ward, brother of Dennis and Morris Ward, living south of the village, is in the jail at Newaygo awaiting trial on a charge of murder. The murder took place at the home of Mrs. Ward, his victim, near a little hamlet in Newaygo county, called Bitely, last Monday, and according to the confession of Ward himself it was a most brutal crime. « PARROTT-ACKETT.

Meanwhile, ag she bad been up practically aty the night before, she ESCAPADE A POST MARITAL ROMANCE Cyra Tnr»e»4 Brady 1LLDSTBATION5 BY BAY WALTERS The only one thoroughly satisfied with the situation was Seton, and even his dash eastward was stopped, for the wind, which- bad held briskly for the greater part of the day, died out about nightfall and left the gallant captain helplessly tossing In the short waves of the channel. He eould only guess that Ellen In her boat bad not yet been able to reach Portsmouth and entirely escape him. Capt Seton was a man of energy and resource, and by the use of a Judicious system of bribery, he Induced Whibley and the two boys to’ break out the oars. He himself completed the quartette, and through the long hours of the night,' the four, with short intervals for rest, urged the little boat after the fu­ gitives. 80 far as the objects of all this rid­ ing and sailing and mad chasing were concerned, although success had at­ tended their efforts up to this time, It could not be said that they were either of them particularly happy. In the first place, the sun beating down upon the unsheltered boat—^although -the very hot In the second place, hard bread and water were not exactly luxuries. Time was when Ellen could have eaten them without dissatisfac­ tion and have even been thankful that she had them, but that time * had passed. Although ber spirit was as great as ever, the luxurious living of Carrington had naturally affected her taste. And Debbie had had no experi­ ence of that kind at all. The younger manifested a disposition to reproach the elder, only checked by Ellen'’s stern and mandatory -method of dis­ missing the subject To hearten up her young friend. Ellen put a brave face upon the whole matter. She pointed out to her how comfortable and free from pursuit, or Interference, they would be when they boarded the New Eagle at Portsmouth; What a pleasant vbyage they would suggestions to cheer her young com­ rade and to fight down the growing dlsmay in ber own heart. It was only by constantly bolding up before herself the picture of my lord ^nd Lady Cecily In each other’s arms in the arbor that she kept herself fb the pitch of ber adventure. She found herself thinking wistfully of the happy days of the past; of the many pleasant cruises which they had made in (these very waters. What a gallant, devoted, royal lover be had been! How she hated Cecily Carring­ ton! She looked at herself and took a mental inventory of that she could not aae and wondered how he could for a moment prefer that weak and Vapid creature to his wife. But it was not personal beauty or charm that she lacked after all. He had been ashamed of her ways, of her InablUty to enter Into the customs and practices of a vicious society on terms of equality with those who bad been born and lived in it all their vitiated Uves. He wan ashamed of her! A proud woman was Ellen. Lady Car­ rington. and sometimes she almost for­ got her Jealousy in her outraged dig­ nity. And between the two passions ahe vowed that she would never see my lord again until he came begging She furled the sail of the little boat, turned the tiller over to Debbie with Instructions for her to let the shallop drift, and to waken Ellen in two hours by the watch. Then she stretched out her tired body beneath the thwarts, pillowed her head on her arm and went instantly to sleep with the readiness of a sailor who learns to take his rest and refreshment whenIt was very lonely and miserable for poor Debblr. She was flying like Ellen from that she loved best, but unlike Ellen there was ho reason on earth for her to break away. It was only the constraint put upon her by the stronger will that had brought her to this wretched pass. She sat Idly in the stern sheets, holding the tiller, while the tears trickled down her pretty red cheeks. She wished, that she were anywhere else under heaven than, in this boat She looked at Ellen almost malevolently, surveying her slight and boyish figure with a venomous glance and the thought that since clothe*-of the other sex so well became her, Ellen should have been born a man. . Poor Debbie felt very wretched and very lonely tossing idly abouf In the quiet seas under the cahn stars. She wondered If Sir Charles did really love her as she had more than once Indi-, cated, or whether he were like the faithless Carrington and the Insidious Strathgate. Was there no honor and virtue among men in England, she queried. And alas, out of her ex­ perience, she found little comforting assurance. Yet a man who could alt for an hour with a woman looking at Baxter’s "Saints’ Rest”—surely that was the test of love If ever there could be one! Deborah knew nothing about the proverbial willingness of the devil to steal the livery of heaven to delude mankind, and especially womankind, and If she had, she would . have spurned the thought as doing an in­ justice to her ideal of Sir Charles. And indeed, whatever else Sir Charles might be capable of, he was really in earnest—not over Baxter, that was a mere incident—but over Debbie. If he had not been, nothing on earth' could have Induced him to toil and sweat over an par through half the night three or four leagues behind. After a long while Debbie felt sorry for Ellen. The latter had turned In her sleep and Debbie could see her face clearly In the rising moonlight. Hhere were traces of tears upon it. Debbie forgot her own grief, which was largely experimental, in commis­ eration for Ellen’s real misfortunes. And so she resolutely kept herself awake and let Ellen sleep until long past midnight Indeed, unused to the hard bed in "which she lay. Ellen at last woke of ber own motion, and re­ proaching Deborah for her disobedi­ ence of orders made the tired girl He down, while she herself took the helm to watch. There was nothing to do except to look out for passing vessels and she bad plenty of time for silent thought about her past her present and her future. CHAPTER XI. The Mad Chase. Klien had advanced much farther on calm which later overtook Seton. Ut would scarcely base dared to under­ take the navigation of Portsmouth harbor in th* night, and If the breeze sprang up after midnight, aa It was daybreak. Ellen intended to board Che New Eagle, which she knew from the advice she had received from the supercargo, was about ready to sail. "What ship dM you say that waaT*1 he asked. “The Flying Star, I think *twas called, thoagh I’m no ways certain, yer honor." “Whose ship was she? Of wbat na­ tionality. that iar* "She’s an American merchantman, sir,” returned the sailor, whose name "And where does she He?*' "She doesn't He nowhere," answered another sailor, survieying the harbor, "leastways her berth was there near­ est the warships"—be pointed off toward Admiral Kephard's fleet of grim war monsters swinging easily at their anchors ig the strong ebb—“but ahe.'s gone now.” "She got under way at daybreak, this morning," said a bystander; "yon­ der she Is.” He pointed down the harbor at a ship under full sail rapid­ ly working toward the channel. "Who has the fastest boat In the harbor?" cried Strathgate with sud­ den resolution. “I have, yer honor,” answered Cooper. . And although bis claim was vocifer­ ously disputed by a dozen men who crowded around Stratbgate, who* rath­ er liked the appearance of the man, pitched upon him for his purpose. "A hundred pounds to you." he cried 'loudly, "if you put me on board he Flying Star before she gets out of the harbor.” “I'd like to see the colpr of yer money, yer honor, beggln' yer par­ don,” said Cooper. Stratbgate pulled out a full purse and passed him a ten-pound note. ‘This for earnest money,” he said. "Now hasten!” Til want a hand to help me with the sails,” said Cooper, full of excite­ ment "Five pounds to the man that goes, if we win. I'm the earl of Strathgate.” “Yes, your lordship." "Take me. Cooper!" ‘TH go!" cried one and another. Cooper quickly selected his man, choosing one of the lightest and most agile of the appUcants. "Into the boat with you!" cried Stratbgate as soon as the matter was settled. Now that .he bad made up his mind, he was eager to be off. He did not know.where Ellen was. He had no assurance that she was on that ship, but at any rate it was a possible elew, and anything was better than passing the day in Idleness at Portsmouth. Perhaps Ellen bad come In In some way during the night Stop! It sud­ denly flashed Into his mind that she might have come by sea. There would have been plenty of time. If she had gotten a boat, anywhere near the place where the carriage was wrecked. This made him the more Impatient and anxious to get away. Fired by the splendid reward for success. Cooper and bis man worked double tides and soon bad the sails hoisted and the boat ready for departure. (To be continued) terest In the chase. His agents re­ ported to him at daybreak, but had no news of their quest No on^ remote­ ly resembling the fugitives had been seen during the night. Although he had breakfasted and day had scarce­ ly dawned, Stratbgate could not re­ main idle. Instinctively his foot­ steps turned toward the strand. If Ellen had arrived during the night she would probably have sought the harbor at once. Although the New Eagle had sailed, as she would find to ber dismay, there were other ships In the harbor and upon one of these she might have taken refuge. Even MAPLE GROVE AND ASSYRIA.

The Nashville Lumber Co. “ Martin's Lightning Proof, Better than Insurance Lightning Rods There is all the difference in the world in lightning rods. Some are aa absolute protection, others amount to practically nothing at all. If a man wants to protect his buildings he should use the best rod. The manufacturer who makes the best rod gives you a .guarantee with it. The man who makes a cheap rod, which he himself has no faith in, will not give you a guarantee. I put Up the Martin guaranteed rod at 15 cents par foot. If your building is struck by lightning and burned after being equipped with the Martin guar­ anteed rods, you get 1500 in cash. The fact that the manufacturers make thia guarantee (shows that they know that their rod is an absolute protection against fire by lightning. Now isn’t it foolish, in order to save a few dollars in rodding your building, to use a rod which neither the man who makes it nor the man who sells it has confidence in? If you want that kind of a rod, I will put up the ordinary copper rod at 10 cents per foot or I will sell you the steel wire rod at 2 cents per foot, but I would much rather equip your build­ ings with the Martin guaranteed rod, which I know will protect them, apd on which you get a $500 cub guarantee that your buildings are absolutely protected. Under any circumstances, do not^aHuw anybody to put lightning rods on your building until you have seen me. You are invited to call and see this system demon­ strated. It is positively the only practical and safe system. �Tbe boys race had fifteen starters. This was a special ran* given by O. G. Munroe. Glenn .Mcl’eck won the first priw, a suit of clothe*, and.

BROWN’S DRUG AND JEWELRY STORE TREAT YOUR SEED In view of the recent tests made by farmers around Nashville of the Formalin treatment for wheat smut, and the great success they have had by its use, we give to our farmer friends the treatment sug­ gested by the Michigan Agricultural college. Mix formalin with water In the proportion of one pound or pint of the former to'fifty gallons of the latter, stirring well. The grain may be treated in either of two ways, as follows: (L) Spread a two-inch layer of wheat upon a well swept floor, thoroughly saturated with the solution, then apply the formaldehyde mixture to the grain with a garden sprinkler until thoroughly wet. To this a second layer may be added and similarly treated and so on. (2.) Turn the moistened mass of grain with shovel or scoop until the surface of every kernel glistens with moisture, adding more solu­ tion if necessary; then shovel into a compact pile and allow to stand two hours. At the end of two hours spread the grain into as thin a layer as the floor space will permit and shovel_occasionally until dry, when it may be bagged. Cantion: Thoroughly saturate the floor on which the treating is to lie done with the solution, also ail tools used, the bags receiving the treated grain, unlees new, and the grain drill as well. (1.) Put the grain to be treated in bags about 1 or 1< bushels to each. Gunny sacks are much preferred, allowing the solution to pass into the grain and also draining more quickly than cotton bags. (2.) In this case tbe'solution is prepared in a tub, barrel, trough or tank, according to convenience or necessity. Immerse each bag of grain completely for ten minutes, working thoroughly with the hands or otherwise, until the grain is wet. (X) After ten minutes remove the bag and suspend it over the dipping vat, or place it on draining boards which will return the ex­ cess solution for further use. (4.) After dripping ceases, empty the grain on a clean floor, previously treated. Spread and stir frequently until dry. (5.) If the grain is to be sown at once it need be dried only suffi­ ciently to allow it to work well through the drill. If seeding Is deI»»ed for several days after treatment, by rain or other causes, the p-’ain should be dried well, as remaining in the sacks or pile may in­ jure it. Caution: The same precautions should be observed as given for the previous method. Also remember that in this treatment the ker­ nels will swell and therefore due allowance must be made in setting the drill to insure application of sufficient seed. This treatment has been applied by some of our best farmers, not only on wheat but oats as well, the result, as we said before, Is so marked that every farmer ihould investigate it. We are in the posi­ tion to furnish the pure formalin, the kind these farmers have used. Do not sow wheat without treating ia this way. The farmers who have tried h here have reported to ns and we will give you their ex­ perience for the asking. VON W. FURNISS. LOCAL NEWS.

""Tis an American,” answered an­ other, “that be toe Yankee clipper, Flying Star.” “When did she sail?" "This morning at daybreak." "Where is—" At that moment Carrington’s eyf comprehended the little cutter glid­ ing along the wharf. He recognized Btrathgate standing up in the stern sheets with his arms akimbo,.an in­ sulting smile upon his face. With a mattered oath Carrington In two bounds reached the side of the wharf. The boat was increasing Its speed at every moment. “Btrathgate!" thundered Carrington, “where is my—?" He stopped. “Where are the fugitives?" . Btrathgate laughed ironically, while Carrington with eager eyes searched the recesses of the little craft, think­ ing that Ellen and Deborah would be •board of her. His relief was inex­ pressible when he found that Strath­ Rate was alone. Yet that did not solve the question that rose In hij mind. "Where is she, I say?" he thun­ dered. Strathgate's answer was an ironical "Am I your wife's keeper?" he laughed, waving his hat in disdain. Carrington was armed. He hauled • pistol from his belt, cocked It and Hoveled it fair at Btrathgate. "Bring that boat into the wharf," he cried, "or I’ll shoot you like the •That for information.

"If It's In the power of a Ports­ mouth boat to do IL Haight's the man for you. master," said one old vet­ eran. "Stay," continued Haight, "I’d like to know who I’m dealln' with." "I’m Lord Carrington, first lieuten­ ant of the Niobe yonder." He pointed to one of the frigates swinging ahead in toe Hne of battle­ ships of Kepbard's fleet “Rtght-o, your lordship," said Haight making a sea scrape at the mention of rank, social, political and naval, of his speaker. "Lads, who goes with us?" He picked up three or four volun­ teers, to whom Carrington promised a suitable reward. "My boat’s twice as big as Cooper's cutter, and I need the hands, your lordship.'* "Take anybody, anything you please." said Carrington. "Where's the boat?" “She be lyin' beyond the other pier. Shall I bring her here, or—?*’ "We'll go there," returned my lord. ’’ 'Tis quicker." Committing his horse to one of the bystanders, with instructions to take him to the inn, Carrington, followed by Haight and three seamen, ran back to the shore, made their way along the strand to the other pier, leaped Into the boat, which was a large, swift cutter, as Haight had said, at least half again aa big as Cooper's, which was now .well down toe harbor and going tremendously under every freshening breeze. To cast off the Hues, hoist the sails, warp the boat along the pier until she gained the open roads, was the work of a few moments. Carrington stood quietly while the skillful men worked busily around him, but so soon as the wind filled the sail and the boat gath­ ered way he came aft, calmly displaced Haight at the helm and sailed the boat himself. And no one in that^ harbor knew how to do it better than he. CHAPTER XII. Strathgate did not blanch.

She had something to do besides think. Ths sailing of the boat required aD her skill and ability. It waa no light task to hold the helm in one hand and toe sheet in the other aad fight her way through the rising seat. The boat rode the water like a deck, however, and did not ship a drop of spray. They were well past Bambridge when the day broke fair and clear. EUen had been so occupied with the business of salUng the Lost that she had not paid.a$y attention to what there was nothing suspicious, yet Ellen to survey the other vessel, a small lugger, perhaps a mile astern, with deep and Intense interest. Something seemed to whisper to her heart that its presence boded no good for the fu­ gitives. . "Tis Probably Strathgate as In order to settle the matter, Ellen suddenly put up the helm and ran broad off toward the channel. The other boat followed her motions at once. At this confirmation of her sus­ picions, Ellen once more brought her own cutter on her previous course, and again the other boat followed the movements of the flrat "They're pursuing us," said Ellen. "I thought so," returned Debbie. "Who can they be?" queried Ellen tightening her grip upon the tiller. "It might be your husband," an­ swered Debbie. And if that were so, it flashed into Ellen's mind that perhaps the best thing would be to throw her own boat up into the wind, doff sail, or at least just give her steerage way and wait to be taken back. But Debbie's voice dispelled that dream. , "It's more likely to be Lord Strath­ gate." continued the American girl, "than anyone else. He would natur­ ally follow us to that little village, if he were not so seriously wounded as to be utterly helpless and of course be would pursue ua. They would find the money you put on the wharf and anybody could guess the rest." The thought smote Ellen's heart. There was so much probability of It "Ay,” she said, "tis probably*Strath­ gate as you say." "He's undoubtedly intensely angry with us both, or with you at least, EHen," continued Deborah. "You know you tried to kill him last night." "I wish to heaven I had succeeded!" returned Lady Carrington. "And we both left him helpless in the road and he can't be feeling very kindly toward us." went on Deborah with innocent simplicity. ‘ “He pretended to love me," said Ellen, scornfully. “Well, he shall never take me Into that boat. I'll sink this one rather than—" "Oh, please don’t do anything so rash." ctled Deborah, alarmed at that threat "I'm sure I don’t want to be sunk and drowned because Lord Btrathgate loves you and Lord Car­ rington doesn'L" "How do you know he doesn't?" cried Ellen. "Why, you said that he and Lady Cecily—” “Don’t you ever dare mention that woman’s name to me," returned the other, fiercely. "She beguiled him and enticed him—I hate them both!” She was on the verge of another breakdown. Deborah was appalled by the vehemence of her companion and tactfully Interposed a remark to change the trend of her thoughts. "I think they're nearer to us now.’ “They are," cried EUen as she zurveyed them with her practiced eye. ’"Their boat is larger, she spreads more sail. She goes three fathoms to our two. What shall we do? Here take ths tiller a moment. Hold It just as it is and the sheet In the other hand.” "What are you going to do?" asked Deborah as she obeyed her captain’s commands. “I'm going to see if there are any powder and shot in the lockers forward. I was a fool to come away with only toe charges in my pistols." "Would you shoot him?" "Ay, that I would," returned Ellen, “rather than fall Into his hands.” She stepped forward and rummaged in the locker under the bows but found nothing. She madg her way aft again and disturbing Deborah opened anoth­ er locker In the stern sheets. There to her good fortune she found a flask of powder but no bullets. She was bitterly disappointed at this lack, but at least something was gained. She knelt down on the thwarts and with skill bred of ancient practice rapidly charged both her pistols. "What are you going to do?" asked Deborah again. "Use these on them,” answered Ellen. "Ton would not murder?" "Peace, child. I have no bullets. These are but blank cartridges.

Of course, there was sound and noth­ ing more. But the concussion, the noise and the smoke relieved her feel­ ings. Deborah cowered down in the boat, released the tiller, let go the sheet and stopped her ears with her fingers. Ellen dropped her pistols and by the quickest kind of work, seized the tiller and sheet and got the. boat under control before she broached to. It was a narrow escape, however, and convinced Lady Carrington that she could not indulge in any more sham battling. She watched the other boat carefully as her own gathered . way once more but could detect no evidence that her firing had In the least intimidated those who were coming so recklessly after her. Promising Deborah that she would not fire them again, she got the young woman to take the helm once more while she reloaded her pistols. She would have given anything for a couple of good honest leaden bullets.. If she had even had a Jeweled ring, she would have pounded it into shape and rammed it down the barrel, but she had divested herself of all her jewels except her weddfng ring and she could not make up . her mind to blow that away in the present emer­ gency. Still the pistols were heavily charged and at close quarters there would be an unpleasant dose of pow­ der for anyone who tried to molest (To be continued) AUSTIN NEIGHBORHOOD.

The excursions to’ the col­ lege over the Pore Marquette, two from Plymouth, one from Big Rapids, opened "excursion week.". Persons from all along the line took advantage of the annual trips and are visiting the “state farm.” The campus pre­ sented the picture of one huge picnic ground. Picnickers were scattered all over the campus, from the drill ground to the lake beyond the Women's building, and for the first time since commencement week, M. A. C. pre­ sented a truly live appearance. All the buildings were thrown open to the publlcrand guides were employed by the faculty to exhibit them to the visitors. Those of the students re­ maining at the college through the summer were pressed into service and, garbed in their cadet uniforms, acted as exhibitors of the college. This excur­ sion was an annual affair, excursions being run over the various railroads to M. A. C. during the entire week. • In previous years several parties camped at the college for a few-days during the week, pitching tents on the grounds, and several such parties were at the college. Soldiers’ Board Cuts Out Rule. By unanimous resolution the sol­ filers’ home board .decided to strike from the rules every reference to tak­ ing any portion of the soldiers' pen­ sion money and. this practice, in vogue for over 15 years, will hereafter be abolished. Soldiers drawing more than $12 have been required to give up all over that amount to the home ■which has had about $15,000 from it in the time the fund has been running, the Increased pensions of late yearn having made it grow by leaps and bounds. The board also adopted a res­ olution increasing the pension limit at which veterans may be admitted to the home from $12 to $18 per month. This means that a veteran drawing in ex­ cess of $18 monthly is not, of right, entitled to admission to the home and -will be admitted only on special show­ ing.. A letter from Gov. Warner ask­ ing that he be recorded as voting for the proposition to cease taking the .pensions was read. Hernans Issues a Statement. Lawton T. Hernans, who Is a Demo­ cratic candidate for governor of Mich­ igan, issued a formal statement on the issues of the campaign. Mr. Hernans contents himself, so far as the big issues are concerned, with a declara­ tion that the people want these laws and they should be passed, but de­ votes the greater part of bls state­ ment to an attack on the Republican l party for Its rule of the past 15 years. Mr. Hernans frankly says that • he doe* not believe in personal platforms for gubernatorial candidates, and he makes no positive personal declara­ tion'on any of the questions now con­ fronting the people of Michigan. If the statement is indicative of the pol­ icy of the Democrat?, the campaign this fall will be waged on lines gen­ erally attacking the Republican party and crying for a change in the execu­ tive chair as the only means of bring­ ing about a better government in the state.

BLUE SUNDAY III ' BIG MINE STRIKE IS OFF ATLANTIC CITY BIRMINGHAM MINERS RETURN TO WORK IN DISTRICT. Official Order Places Collieries on Non-Union Basis—Much Violence Marked the Walkout Birmingham. Ala., Sept. 1.—An of­ ficial order calling off the strike of coal miners In the Birmingham dis­ trict was Issued to all the camps in this 'section Monday. It was signed by President Lewis, Vice-President White and Secret ary-Treasurer Ryan of the United Mine Workers of America. The end of the strike means that practically all of the mines in the Birmingham district will, be on a non­ union basis. No conferences between officials of the union and officials of the operators' association were held in Birmingham. It is known, however, that operators take back all tbe men except those who have committed acts of lawlessness. The order ends a strike which began July 6 and which has been marked by much violence. The official order afer reviewing the history of the strike. "The climax was reached when the governor, of Alabama said that the miners shall not be permitted to live in tented camps and that public meet­ ings shall not be held in the mining communities of the state during the strike. In other words, the strike must end. regardless of the cost to the miners or any rights they have in the premises.'' Butte, Mont, Sept 1.—In conse­ quence of the failure of the coal mine operators and mine workers to reach an agreement at a conference which was held in this city last Friday and Saturday, all of the coa! mines In the state of Wyoming under the control of the Mine Owners' association of Wyo­ ming were closed down Monday night and will remain closed for an indefi­ nite period. About 8,000 men are af­ fected. PRESIDENT HONORS ATHLETES. Receives American Team Which Won the Olympic Games. BANK ROBBED OF SMALL SUM. Oyster Elay, N.

Toledo. O.. Sept. 1.—A sweltering, crushed and irritated person who had struggled through the hordes of en­ campment visitors Tuesday estimated the strangers within the city gates at a round billion. This was an exaggera­ tion. however, for Adjt. Gen. Scott ot Illinois, who is a judge of crowds, de­ clared that there was not more than half that number—seemingly. Inquiry at the various headquarters where newcomers report for assignment to quarters indicated' the presence of a sufficient number of out-of-town people to swell Toledo's 200,000 to 300.000. What with the marvelous illumlnatlpn of the downtown streets, the "Venetian Night” on the river, and the public reception by the local commit­ tee and Commander-In-Chief Burton, and numerous other attractions mark­ ing the formal opening of the fortysecond encampment of -the Grand Army of the Republic, the downtown streets were well-nigh impassable Monday night. Big Crowd, Fine Sight. nfe and drum corps, brass bands, arriving delegations and squads of sight-seers- blocked the pavements from curb to curb. Street orators, sideshows, catch penny devices and the like gathered their crowds and made it seem that the boundaries ot the city had suddenly contracted and squeezed the whole population Into the compass of a few blocks. But the sight was worth the battle tor foot room. "Riot of color" is a cold and futile phrase to serve as descriptive of the illuminations and decorations. Sunday it seemed that the use of electricity and bunting could go no further, but Toledo citizens were merely experimenting.. Monday night, with the formal opening of the re­ union, all their batteries of astounding color conceptions were turned loose, and, as Capt. J. E. Meginn, who came all the way from Mexico City, and is in a post ail by himself, said: "It was worth the money.” E. J. Freeman,- with 100 army mu­ sicians. got Into action with his fife and drum experts, and arriving dele­ gations marched from the railroad sta­ tions to the pulsations of quick-steps which can be rendered only by the fife and drum. Cheers for Michigan Delegation. The arrival of a delegation of vet­ erans and their wives from Michigan and the manner in which they fell in behind one of the fife and drum corps brought about a scene which those who witnessed It will remember. As the* old pipers marched off at the head of the column, nodding their heads in unison with the beat of the music, tbe veterans, side by side with their white-haired wives, fell in be­ hind. A cheer came from the crowd on the sidewalks, but it was a sobchoked cheer, for tears had sprung spontaneously from hundreds of eyes, moved by the picture befora them.

He is a" young man earning twelve dollars a week. He has been married several years and stated that he had never been able to lay up a cent, although he had no bud habits and he thought they were as saving as anyone- He earned on an average during the time, he was married •628 a year. He paid •85 for rent and a couple of dollars for insurance on - his goods and-the balance of his earnings went for living expenses. We told him tp start right then to putting at least two dollars a week in our savings department and to make it a point to pin two dollars in EVERY WEEK, and his first two dollars were deposited right then and his second has been received, and he said that be believed he could do that easily and we KNOW he can do it if be says he will and then sticks to it. At the end of the first year he will have a bank account of over one hundred dollars and the accrued interest, where if he had started when be was rixarried to laying two dollars aside every week he would have had close to eight hundred dollars instead of nothing. It was just a case of - seven years of his life wasted.. There are lots of young fellows in the village maintain­ ing accounts here and the accounts are growing to an pg sums too. V hy not you?

Ellen swept the ■harbor ahead of her and was sur­ prised to see—she had not noticed it lin the Interest excited by the chase— fCoaaing down under full sail a large ■ship, an American merchantman evi­ dently. She jumped to. the conclusion that it must be the New Eagle. If •he could intercept that ship and get aboard of her, her troubles would be •ver. Provided the ship were willing to heave to dr to check her way, the boarding of her would be an easy mat­ ter, and Ellen was sailing on such •- course that the interception of her would not be difficult, if it were not tor this boat dose astern of her. Far­ ther ahead Ellen also marked followlag hard on the great ship two boats like her own and the one pursuing. They were, like the merchantman, beating down the harbor and it seemed to Ellen's eyec that they were also •basing after the merchant ship. She was more and more convinced as she studied it, that it could be none other than the New Eagle. With sal­ vation staring her in the face, Ellen feared that she would be unable to ••cape her neaTbst pursuer. She looked back and could have screamed aloud. "Ellen,” said Deborah, who had given no thought to what was before her but who had been staring at the Other boat, "I don’t believe that’s the earl of Strathgate." "Who fs it then?" asked Ellen who was thinking bard and desperately as to what were best to be done. "lt'»—I'm sure it’»—" “Who. Lord Carrington?" "Nay,” answered Deborah . with a little simper. “Sir Charles Seton.” “Impossible,” cried Ellen brusquely. "How would he be there?" *"Tis he, I’m sure. I recognize him." "You have keen eyes," said Ellen looking back. "I always supposed that mine were good." "You might recognize him if It were Lord Carrington,” said Deborah patly.. "Do you mean to Imply that I—that you—" Ellen gave It up aa hopeless. 1 don’t care who it Is. Look ahead. Turn your eyes from that young red coat See yon ship! That will be the New Eagle.

"You must Would you fall into his arms? *Tls most unmaldenly,” an­ swered Ellen. ’1 don't care,” cried Debbie, beginnlag to whimper. *7 guess you can stop crying." an­ swered Ellen, contemptuously, "for we have no more chance of escaping from that boat than we have of getting .•board yonder ship." Ellen's face gloomed as she spoke. To be foiled after all she had gone through by Sir Charles Seton, whose pursuit of her, after all, was simply for this mawkish, whimpering Debo­ rah. whom for the first time in her life «he hated, wm more than she could bear.

I Intend to have yom out of that boat Mlstregs Debbie, and—" There was a sudden scream from Mistress Debbie. The boat in which she sailed met with a sudden check. The little cutter grated upon the edge of the shoal. Ellen sprang to the helm, forgetful of everything else but the present peril. Her boat go­ ing at a rapid rate had taken ground. She hoped that the touch had been so light that the boat would not be stoppedand wrecked. Indeed, sbe flung herself violently to starboard and the sudden shock swung the boat off the shoal. There was a scraping of sand beneath the keel and the little shallop slid on. Sir Chartes Was close aboard. Not being a sailor, he had not noticed, and in the excitement of the chase, Sir Charles offering reward upon reward to the fishermen If they overhauled the other boat, these men forgot the peril, if. Indeed, they knew it For coming down at full speed and -draw­ ing half again aa much water as Ellen's cutter, they ran hard and fast upon the shoal. Ellen bad counted upon their doing this very thing. She looked back with eyes of experience, and saw exactly their position. Indeed, they had bare­ ly escaped ripping a maat out of the Jugger. They were rocking their boat furiously and making every effort to get off, but they had gone on fair and square, the tide was on ebb. and Ellen concluded they ware fixed some time. She rose in the stern sheets laughed gleefully. She put her boat about and ran down to pass in easy hail of Sir Charles and his men. "Good-by,” she called, laughing with mockery that stung him, "before an hour we shall be aboard yon ship. I am sorry that you were balked. A stern chase is a long chase. Sir Charles, as you will find upon the sea." Poor Sir Charles had little to say for himself. ~ He felt very much chagrined and bitterly disappointed. "Gooy-by, Sir Charles," called Deborah, sadly, “ ’Tis not my doing. and—” "Mistress Charles, plucking up heart, "you have not seen the end of me. I shall find some means of following you wherever "There, Debbie," said Ellen, "heart up. You did your best to betray me, but I forgive you since we’ve got free. I told you Sir Charles would follow you and he’ll find you all the sweet^ er for his mad chase. Now for yon •hip." And Ellen laid a course which would in half an hour Intercept the oncoming merchantman. CHAPTER XIII. An Impromptu Affafr on the High 8eas. It was hardly possible at first, even for so practiced and acute an eye as Carrington’s, to determine whether he or Btrathgate had the better boat In the first place, the two cutters were continually on opposite courses, split­ ting tacks, the wind blowing straight into the harbor, and it was not until they had passed and repassed each other several times that Carrington became convinced that he.was gain­ ing on his antagonist. The gain, how­ ever, was a slight one. The differ­ ence in the rate of sailing between the two boats was not very great Both of them sailed faster than the Flying Star in, the air then prevail­ ing.

The Nashville Lumber Co. cc Martin’s Lightning Proof, Better than Insurance Lightning Rods There is all the difference in the world in lightning rods. Some are aa absolute protection, others amount to practically nothing at all. If a man wants to protect his buildings he should use the best rod. The manufacturer who makes the best rod gives you a guarantee with it. The man who make* a cbeap rod, which he himself has no faith in, will not give you a guarantee. I put up the Martin guaranteed rod at 16 cents per foot. If your building is struck by lightning and burned after being equipped with the Martin guar­ anteed rods, you get $500 In cash. The fact that the manufacturers make thia guarantee Jshows that they know that their rod is an absolute protection against fire by lightning. Now isn't it foolish, in order to save a few dollars in rodding your building, to use a rod which neither the man who makes it nor the man who Mils it has confidence in? If you want that kind of a rod, I will put up the ordinary copper rod at 10 cents per foot or I will sell you th* steel wire rod at 2 cents-per foot, but I would much rather *juip your build­ ings with the Martin guaranteed rod, which I knew will protect them, and oa which you get a $590 cash guarantee that your buildings are absolutely protected. Under any circumstances, do not allow anybody to put lightning rods on your building until you have seen me. You are Invited to call and see this system demon­ strated. It is positively the only practical and safe system. C. J. Scheldt �LEAN-UP SALE Shoes Dress Goods r hint! In* ce***d: Ann Braith camt riding by that way. Driving the deacon's "one-hoaa shay."

Property Loss $750,000—Conflagration Checked by Dynamite—Business Section In Ruins—Food and Bed­ ding Sent from Reno. He and a Girl Arrested—Attempt to Turn Meeting of New York’s Un­ employed Into Lawieas Demonstra­ tion Is Prevented by the Police. New York, Sept 8.—An attempt was made Monday to turn a meeting of unemployed workingmen into an anarchistic demonstration and for half an hour the big meeting hail in Cooper Union, where the meeting took place, was the scene of wild excitement, during which red flags were raised, the police denounced and incendiary speeches made. Alexander Berkman, the anarchist who some years ago shot Henry C. Frick, steel company official, during the Homestead strike in Pennsyl­ vania, was dragged from the hall by the police and locked up. A young woman who gave her name as "Mary Smith,” and''who stood by Berkman, was also arrested, and Emma Gold­ man, recognized leader of the “reda” In this country, was made to leave the ball. Planned by J. Eads How. J. Eads How of St Louis, some­ times alluded to aa the “Millionaire Hobo,” planned the demonstration. He and other officers of the Unemployed and Brotherhood Welfare association bad for some time been making ar­ rangements for a mounter parade and meeting on Labor day, but when the parade formed there were fewer than 1,000 in line. The police say they recognized many anarchists in line, among them some who attended the meeting in Union square last spring when a bomb was thrown at the police which killed a spectator and fatally wounded the bomb-thrower himself. “Marseillaise” Starts Trouble. As the parade drew up tn front of Cooper IJnion a well-dressed man stepped to the side of Mr. How and asked him to have the band play the Marseillaise. Mr. How referred the man to the leader of thfe band. As the French national air was not on the program the man gave the band leader a dollar to play iL It was the playing of this air, identi­ fied in past times ^with so much bloodshed, that started the trouble. As soon as the crowd had gathered In the ball the band began to play the Marseillaise and in an instant nearly everyone present jumped to his feet, charing and stamping on the'floor. Red- flags appeared, but the police quickly made the holders of these put Alexander Berkman and Emma Goldman entered the hall at this junc­ ture and took seats near the plat­ form. Dr. Ben Reltman, who calls himself “King of the Hoboes," and who was one of the first speakers, an­ nounced niat his speech had been written by Emma Goldman, Thia brought forth cheering. Reltman Breaks Loose. Dr. Reltman was on the program for a.speech on tbo “Care of the Un­ employed,” but It was not noticed that he had anything to say on this subject. Dr. Roitman urged the un­ employed to cease submitting to labor. He. denounced public institutions and then said: “Liston • This is anarchy, but 1 tell you there should be fewer thousands, expended in the maintenance of churches and the police, and the money should be expended in caring for. the unemployed such as you, and not spent in keeping up such super­ stitions." At this point Charles Oberwager, a former president of the Central Fed­ erated union, was introduced. He de­ nounced the preceding speaker, de­ claring Dr. Reltman had preached the doctrines of anarchy. This caused an outburst and during the excitement . Berkman sprang to his feet and de­ manded to be allowed to take the plat­ form to defend the anarchistic doc­ trines In which he-believes.

BILLY PAPKE IS NOW 44 ILLINOIS THUNDERBOLT WHIPS STANLEY KETCHEL, THE “KILLER.” Wins In a Bloody Fight—Michigan Man, Beaten from Start, Knocked Out In Twelfth Round—Attell and Moran in Draw. Vernon Arena, Los Angeles, Cal., Sept. 8.—Stanley Ketchel of Michigan, former middleweight champion of the world, was knocked out in the twelfth round at Jeffries' Vernon arena at four o'clock Monday afternoon by Billy Papke of Illinois, who Is now middleweight champion of the world. It was a case of the Illinois “Thun­ derbolt” against A Michigan “Killer,” and the thunderbolt wen. ’ Both men entered the ring In appar­ ent perfect condition and neither had ever been knocked out Ketchel had a decision over Papke in a previous ten-round bout Both men are as cleanlooking prize fighters as anyone sees, but the bout ended as one of the bloodiest in ring history. Both Start Smiling. Ketchel came in wearing a tattered dressing gown and a worn hunting cap and trunks of green gauze. He had a feline stride, the smile of an un­ spoiled boy, a fine brow, wide, clear eyes and a shrewd look of purpose. When Papke came In he also wore an old dressing gown and ax boyish smile. Ketchel was freshly shaven while Papke was unshaven. Ketchel wore the air of an undefeated con­ queror and was plainly the great favorite of the crowd which had done betting on him at 2 to L When Papke entered he x walked blithely to Ketchel’s oorner and greet­ ed him with a handshake and a cor­ dial smile, but when James J. Jeffries, the referee, called time and Ketchel walked to the center extending his hand for the shake, Papke Ignored the hand and sailed Into the Michigan man with the fiery Impetuosity which entitled him to be called the “Thun­ derbolt." The fight was practically over a minute and twenty seconds after the gong sounded. From that time on It was merely a question as to how long Ketchel would last. Was a Whirlwind Fight. Papke tore into Ketchel with such fury that the undefeated champion was simply lifted off his feet four times within the next minute. Papke knocked Ketchel to the mat for the count and from his first knock­ down Ketchel never really recovered his form. He was a defeated man, dazed, bleeding, struggling from 20 blows in the face, and yet he came back and stayed with a terrible de­ termination. And for at least" three rounds held his own with the victori­ ous challenger. Attell and Moran Draw. Colma Arena, San Francisco, Sept. 8.—Abe Attell, the champion feather­ weight of America, and Owen Moran, England's premier boxer in the same division; fought a draw battle at the Colma open-air arena Monday after­ noon in the presence of about 6,000 spectators. The battle lasted 23 rounds and at'Its conclusion Referee Jack Welch unhesitatingly grasped both lads by the hand, signifying that the fight was a draw. The decision seemed to please the crowd and there were cheers for each fighter as he wended his way from tho ringside. New York, Sept. 4.—Edgar A.

Rawhide, Nev., Sept 5.—Three thousand people homeless, a score or more injured, and a property loss of over $750,000, is the result of a dis­ astrous fire which started at nine o’clock Friflay morning in Dr. Gard­ ner's office, located in the Rawhide Drug company's building. Fanned by a gale the fire h-wept rapidly south and east to Balloon avenue and up Raw­ hide avenue to within 50 yards of the People's hospital. Over a ton and a half of dynamite was used In the demolition of build­ ings. which in a measure stayed the flames' progress. The volunteer fire department and 600 miner volunteers worked heroically, but'on account of the Inflammable construction of the buildings they were swept away like tinder. Business Section In Ruins. At 11 o'clock the business portion of Rawhide was a smoldering mass of ruins, the flames being finally checked south of Balloon avenue. ■ Among the first buildings to go was Collins' hardware store, which con­ tained two tons of dynamite that ex­ ploded with a terrific report, hurling burning planks and boards a great dis­ tance, setting fire to numerous build­ ings simultaneously. Food Brought from Reno. A Tamlne was feared, as all the sup­ ply houses and grocery stores were wiped out. A subscription was started and in a few*minutes over $5,000 was raised and a relief train started from Reno at four o'clock carrying thousands of pounds of foods and bedding. All the mining towns of the state came quickly to the assistance of the Rawhide sufferers with cash contribu­ tions. The San Francisco Mining ex­ change at once sent a contribution ot $500. Plans to Rebuild at Once. Plans were well underway for a re­ construction of the town before the ashes were thoroughly cool. The fire was brought under control after destroying the entire business section, with the exception of one grocery store. This store has sold all cf its provisions and unless food Is rushed here there will be much suffer­ ing. Two commercial travelers are re­ ported to have lost their lives in the burning of the Ross hotel, but this has not been confirmed. * The town has been placed under martial law.

Be­ fore I began taking them, I had suf­ fered from severe backache and pains through my loins for years, always aggravated when I stooped or lifted. When I contracted a cold it invariably settled in my kidneys and at such times it was quite an effort for me to per­ form .my housework. Knowing that similar cases had been cured by Doan’s Kidney Pills, I decided to try them and procured a box. I used them only a short time when all my aches and pains vanished, and up to date they have never returned.” For Sale by all dealers. Price 50 cents.

The many friends of John and Will Kocher will be pleased to learn that they have reconsidered their in­ tention of retiring from business and that they will not only remain in busi­ ness in Nashville, but expect to car­ ry a larger stock of goods and push business harder than ever before. For several weeks past they have had workmen busy renovating their store, cleaning up, papering, re-finishing, and fixing up. until the magnificent store looks like new. In addition they have had a splendid new gas lighting system installed which makes their store at night as bright as day,1 and ths general appearance now is The News force has been well re­ membered the past week by the far­ mers.

The wrecking of a meat train on the mam line of the Michigan Central, near Ann Arbor, last Friday caused the delay of the west-bound trains on this division. The 3:55 train did not arrive here until after six o'clock and the 9:12 train was nearly two hours late. The wreck was caused by a wheel on one of the cars breaking. While at work on the new Gribbin block Tuesday afternoon, George Squiers fell down an open stairway into the basement of the building, bruising himself up severely. He was picked up and taken to his home in a carriage, but was able to get out of the carriage alone and walk into the house. He will probably be confined to the house for several days.

The state board of canvassore will meet on that date. Deputy Secretary of State Mears believes the returns will be made promptly.. In 35 counties no errors were found. In Kent county an­ other error was discovered, making the vote for Dr. Bradley 6,196 instead of 6,184. There was . a slight change in Gladwin county's vote, leaving the vote at noon as follows: Warner, 88,­ 583; Bradley, 86,683. Warner's plu­ rality, 1,840. Inheritance Tax, $40,432. In affirming the decision of the Kent county circuit court in fixing the* amount of the inheritance .tax in the estate of E. Crofton Fox of Grand Rapids, the. supreme court sifstained the constitutionality of the Michigan Inheritance tax law of 1903. The pro­ bate court fixed the inheritance tax at. 840,432.49 but tbe circuit and supreme courts have now held that to this sum should be added about 8550 as a tax on a mortgage and other property which had been exempted by the probate Judges. The Kent circuit Judge who decided the case has the distinction of having his opinion reproduced In full by the supreme court in its opinion. Son Kept from Dying Father.

A decision affecting the grocers of the entire state, was handed down in the supreme court, regarding the manufacture and sale of maple syrup. Hereafter all cans containing maple syrup and other syrups must not only be labeled as such compounds, but must declare the percentage of each syrup. Any can of syrup labeled other­ wise will be sold in violation of the law and merchants will be subject to the law’s penalty. The decision of the court grew out of the case of the state dairy and food commission against tbe Pierre Viaus Maple Company. The in­ spectors of tbe department condemned a certain maple syrup, labeled “Pure Canadian maple syrup and cane syrup.” Analysis showed that cane syrup predominated in the composi­ tion, and tbe Inspectors insisted that tbe percentage be placed on the label, so that the consumer would know the exact facts regarding its composition. The company procured am injunction restraining the commissioner from In­ juring its business by making such statements. To its bill of complaint the commission filed a demarrer, which was overruled by the court be­ low, but which the supreme court says should be sustained. To not only state the mixtures In such syrup, but to state the percentage of them. Is the court's decree. Labels, stating tbe mixtures of syrups, are used by prac­ tically every company, but undue prominence Is given to the “maple syrup.” Analyses show that the per­ centage of genuine maple syrup In the so-called “maple syrup” Is seldom more than 25 per cent., is often only five per cent, and Is frequently less. There Is considerable quantity of sim­ ilar syrups in the state and dealers will be obliged to procure labels, stat­ ing the percentages of syrup composi­ tions to be within the law. surface, above AXvcetabte Preparationfor As­ similating deFood and Betf ulattag tie S tosads andBowels of Bay City.—Fire destroyed thb home of Thomas Farnsworth, and three children of Mrs. Carrie Ballinger, Farnsworth’s daughter, narrowly es­ caped burning to death.

COME* JUICE LANDIS IS SCORED Bl TRUST USUAL MAJORITY, HOWEVER, 18 REDUCED TO LESS THAN TEN THOUSAND. LAWYERS. FOR STANDARD OIL COMPANY. OF INDIANA FILE ANSWER. Democrats Are Pleased—National Is sues Are Not Potent In Influencing the Result—Bert Femald of'Polanc Is Elected Governor. Declare Fin* Exce«*ive—Jurist la Charged with Yielding to Outside Influences and the Prosecution Is Called •‘Malicious." Chicago, Sept. 12.—Judge Kenesaw Landis, who fined the Standard Oil Company of Indiana 829,000,000, la charged with having permitted outside Influences to govern his decision by the attorneys for the company in tnelr answer to the application for a re­ hearing filed in the United States court of appeals. The answer refers to the judgment of that court as an "unheard-of fine,” and says that tbe court was gov­ erned by evidence and considerations which were not proper to influence a judicious magistrate. District Attorney Sims, who con­ ducted the prosecution, was referred to as a "sealous prosecutor." The answer to the government's ap­ peal for a rehearing is submitted by | Attorneys John S. Miller, . Morits Rosenthal and Alfred D. Eddy, counsel for the oil company, and cites numer­ ous reasons why Judge Crosscup and bld associates in tbe court of appeals should not grant the government's pe­ tition. Excessive Fine* Discussed. The principal argument presented is in regard to excessive fines, and it is declared absolutely that District At­ torney 81ms could find no authority to support Judge Landis in bis action of fixing th* "unheard-of fin*.'1 Regard­ ing this the answer states: “The provision of the bill of rights in the eighth amendment to the fed­ eral constitution forbidding the Impo­ sition of excessive fines enacts, a cherished principle of Magna Charta. which is the foundation of American and Anglo-Saxon laws and Jurispru­ dence, and which required that fines Impneed for faults or crimes should be 'after the manner of the fault; or 'according to the helnonsness of it.' and forbade fines so large as to de­ prive a defendant of that which was necessary to his vocation or liveli­ hood." The action of the government in bringing tbe oil company to trial Is referred to as "malicious prosecution." and it is reiterated that no evidence and law has been -brought to bear on the case by the federal attor­ neys. "Need Frighten No On*." "The Impossible illustrations con­ jured up by the petitioners," further declares the defense, “peed frighten no one or lead one to believe that the Interpretation adopted by the court nullifies practical enforcement of the law. Quite tbe contrary. It is a sane interpretation that puts it beyond the power of a malicious prosecution to elect its oNo unit of offense and there­ by, if it wills, work a destruction of all of a defendant's property by the impo­ sition of a fine so enormous as to make it mere confiscation." It is declared that “the learned counsel are equally unfortunate in their treatment of the ruling of Judge Grosscup in the Hanley case.” The answer states that tbe Hanley case, on which It Is alleged Judge Grosscup reversed himself In the oil decision, was well known to District Attorney Sims when it was argued In court, and had no application to the appeal for rehearing. WILSON COLLINS IS RELEASED. Former Cashier of Elkhart Bznk Com­ plete* Prison Sentence.

Ind., Sept. 15.—One Chi­ cago woman was almost instantly killed and nearly two score of other persons, most of them residents of In­ dianapolis, were more or less seriously injured in one of the worst excursion wrecks of the year, wbiefl occurred at Chesterton Monday. A Lake Shore suburban train known as the "Chesterton theater dummy," crashed into an Indianapolis excursion train which had been stalled n^ar the station. The dense smoke blown down from the northern forest fires is de­ clared to have been one reason for the accident. Tbe engine of- the suburban train struck the chair car, which was the rear coach of the excursion train, with terrific force and plowed Its way through a mass of humanity which packed' the seats and crowded the aisles. In the impact three-fourths of the car was telescoped and the engine ot the dummy train wrecked. Three Killed on Yazoo Road.

Sept. 15.—While for­ est fires are still burning along the north shore. It is believed, they have passed the danger point so far as the threatened destruction of villages is concerned. Hundreds of thousands of dollars' worth of good timber Is being destroyed, however. Grand Marais. Chicago Bay, Love­ land. Big Bey, Pigeon river and other smaller settlements Immediately along the shore are thought to be safe. The situation on the Mesaba range Is also greatly Improved and the flames In that territory have now reached a stage wfagre they are no longer considered dangerous to the towns. Under orders from Gen. C. C. An­ drews, state fire warden. Chief John T. Black of the local fire department, sent 40 men to the scene of the worst fires above Grand Marais Sunday morning. Although the settlements are no longer in Immediate danger there will be plenty of work for these men. for It Is their purpose to save as much timber from destruction at possible. A hard downpour ot rain would put an end to tbe flames. The refugees picked up at differ­ ent points along the shore and taken to Grand Marais have been returned to their homes by the Gopher. The homes and possessions of the settlers back of Grand Marais were destroyed by forest fires last Friday, according to advices received from the steamer America. The fire on Isle Royale has subsided and the damage there Is said to be less than at first reported. Fort William, Ont., Sept. 15.—A jet­ tier who came in from Hymera says that bush fires are around the settle­ ment. and that a high wind would mean total destruction. Tbe wate'r supply is tilso very short and White Fish river is now almost dry. Fires extend all the way from Westfort to Gun Flint on the International bound­ ary line. The blaxe around Westfort on tbe borders of this city Is not as serious now, as the wind has shifted away from the city. Trainmen say that the entire forest from Nipegon to Mackenzie is on fire. The situation is about the same on the Indian re­ serve. Hymers Is on the Duluth ex­ tension. 30 miles southeast of here. Portland. Me., Sept. 15.—Although the Republicans came off victorious Id the state-election Monday, Bert M Fernaid of Poland being chosen gov ernor over Obadiah ’Gardner of Rock land, the Democrats bad the satisfac­ tion of seeing tbe nbrmal Republican plurality cut to leas than 10,000 votes for tbe first time In a presidential year tor more than a quarter of a century. All four Republican candidate* for congress were elected and for state auditor, Charles P. Hatch of Augusta (Rep.) defeated hi* opponent. Republican Plurality 8,000. At 10:30 Monday night returns for governor from all the cities and 400 towns and plantations out of 499 gave Ferna! d (Rep.) 68,300,Gardner (Dem.), 61,616. The same places in 1904 gave Cobb (Rep.), 70,882; Davis (Dem.). 46.­ 712. . This show* a Republican loss of four per cenL and a Democratic gain of 32 per cent. On this basis the Repub­ lican plurality In the state was esti­ mated at about 8,000. ’ . The result,4 which was much closer than any of the Republican leaders bad anticipated, showed not only the warmth of the contest, but the popu­ larity of Mr. Gardner through the state, in the cities as well as in the little rural districts where his fame as the head ot the state grange, patrons'of industry, proved a great vote gainer. Local Issues Were Populsr. The Republicans were on the de­ fensive-throughout the campaign, seek­ ing to hold the state by the usual plu­ rality by answering the various Demo­ cratic arguments, which were mainly for resubmlsslon of the prohibitory law, taxatlbh of the wild lands and re­ form in administrative methods. But little was said of national issue*, al­ though the Republicans, through out­ side speakers, sought at various points to bring such subjects to the atten­ tion of the people. Local Issues, however, proved more popular, and in the last days of the campaign the Republicans joined with their opponents In discussing them and In doing so strongly defended the •o-called Sturgis law and urged the voters to support its stringent meth­ ods In the enforcement of the cause of prohibition. The result of the hard work by party managers and speakers on both sides was a large increase lr the turn-out of voters, nearly 140,000 going to the polls, a number which whs within a few thousand of tbe rec­ ord tor the state.

CLOTHCRAFT CLOTHES are pure wool, with a guarantee as reliable as tbe sterling mark on silver. They sell at *10.00 to $22.00 and are the only all-wool line in America at those prices. The reason Clothcraft can be sold profitably at $10.00 to $22.00 lies in the cost-saving methods of high-p-ade tailoring used only in Clothcraft fac­ tories. The saving in manufacturing cost offsets the higher cost of the alljwool fabrics. Call and look at our new fall styles. Yours to please and accommodate, Leading Clothier and Shoe Dealer.

In 1885 they went to Kansas, and after remaining there for a short time, came back to Battle Creek, where they have since made their home.

The community was greatly shocked last Friday morning upon learning of the death of Mrs. A. R. Wolcott, which occurred at her late home on Queen street shortly after six o’clock that morning. Mrs. Wolcott had been Hl but’ a comparatively short time and very few people knew of the danger ot her condition until a day or so before the end came. Her maiden name was Amelia Fran* cisca Green. She was born October 1, 1847, in the village of Evans Ceu*ter, New YOrk. She moved with her parents to Conneaught, Ohio, where she grew to womanhood and was united in marriage to A. R. Wolcott at the latter place on September 16, 1869. After her marriage she came to Nashville with her husband, where she has lived ever since. Mrs. Wolcott was a jolly good woman, whose presence in any ' munity was a source of pleasure. She was always iolly >nd good natured and laugbea when others cried, bringing sunshine into other homes as well as her own. She was a kind neighbor and the proverbial friend in need; being respected as a neighbor, affectionate as a mother and a faith­ ful wife, who reveled in the joy of her home and surroundings. Her life closed as it had been lived, cheerful to the last, and she passed peacefully into the great beyond with the fullest love of her family and friends as a cherished memory of,her goodness. She is survived by her husband, daughter, son, uon-in-law, grandson ----and brother. ------— ___ Her father, ____ , -------Daniel Green, and —2 — mother, Esther Darrowr — — —*- *--• — at n — Green, made *• their home Conneaught, Ohio, in early Mfe and later :moved to Nashville, which was in 1868.

For reply Ellen held up a well-filled purse. The man nodded to her, disappeared inboard, and presently came back fol­ lowed by an older sailor. “Who be ye?" cried the older man, apparently the captain of the ship. "My name's Carrington," answered Ellen. "Are ye fugitives from justice?" asked the. captain. "Be ye a runaway couple?" "Yes, yes,” answered Ellen, grasping at the suggestion presented by the captain's misconception of the situa­ tion. And indeed they were a runaway couple, though not exactly of the kind the captain meanL “And them boats yonder, are they chasin’ you?" "They are," cried Ellen, “Won’t you take mb aboard?" "Well, I don’t know,” said the cap­ tain, slowly. "I guess so. I don’t want to heave to, them boats to port is chasin' hard.” "If you'll make a half-board. I’ll run the boat alongside of you and we'll manage to gee aboard." "Al! right.” said the captain. He spoke to the helmsman and a moment after the sails slatted In the wind, the big ship swung up toward the breeze and ranged ahead, her way clearly checked. Ellen acted promptly. Before the big ship swung up into the wind she bad run her little boat alongside. She dropped tail, ran forward and took a turn with a painter across the fore­ chains.

The Nashville Lumber Co Martin’s Lightning Pn Better than Insurance Lightning Rods There is all the difference in the world in lightning rode Some are an absolute protection, others amount to practically nothing at all. If a man wilnts to protect his buildings he should use the best rod. The manufacturer who makes the best rod gives you a guarantee with it. The man who makes a cheap rod, which he himself has no faith in, will not give you a guarantee. I put up the arlin guaranteed rod at 15 cents per foot. If your building is Aruck by lightning and burned after being equipped with the Martin guar­ anteed rods, you get 8500 in cash. The fact that the manufacturers make thia guarantee shows that they know that their rod is an absolute protection against fire by lightning. Now isn’t it foolish, in order to save a few dollars in rodding your building, to use a rod which neither tbe man who makes it nor the man who sells it has confidence in? If y6u want that kind of a rod, I will put up the ordinary copper rod at 10 cents per foot or I will sell you tbe steel wire rod at 2 cents per foot, but I would much, rather equip your build­ ings with the Martin guaranteed rod, which I know will protect them, and oa which you get a >IO0 caah guarantee that your buildingt law absolutely protected. Under any eironnutannes, do not allow anybody to put lightning rods on your building until you have seen me. You are invited to call and see this system demon­ strated. It is positively the only practical and safe system. Scheldt �E OF BUTTWR. Stated That Large Amount la Be'rvfl Packed in Cold Storage. GUARANTEED CLOTHING SIMPLE FOR MEN AND Y0UN6 MEN.

This “HERMAN WILE" cloth­ ing of which we illustrate a few of the new styles, is one of our lead­ ing lines, because nowhere in the markets can we find clothing of such superior excellence, to sell for such reasonable prices as we ask for it. . Every' garment is hand-tailored throughout—it is made by Union workmen in a clean sanitary fac­ tory—and so exceptionally good a is it in every quality which adds value, that it is generally known as the clothing that is “Better than Custom Made.u • . • We are anxious to have you call and examine these garments before you purchase your new Fall outfit, as we are confident that a careful comparison with other lines of clothing which you may be offered will convince you that our claims of ------ better style ------ better fit ------ better value are based- on the actual merit of thfe clothing itself. And when you have seen the exceedingly tasteful patterns in the newest and most popu­ lar colorings—when you have tried it on and seen'the distinctiveness which the exceptional style and fit give you, you will be satisfied that nowhere can you do better, and will buy the clothing which is "Better than Custom Made.” O.

Several new and ingeniously devised churns have appeared on the market In recent years, most of which are no improverV ment over the jsQa old designs. The iJdF most practical, and at the same I time the most volving barrel form shown in the sketch. The labor of operating this churn is less than either the dash or the whirling paddle form, and It makes better butter. Thdfre are no Inside fix­ tures to be cleaned and no crevices or copiers that are difficult io clean. This churn has a hole in the side near the bottom, through which the buttermilk may be drawn off. which is a great advantage. It is a demon­ strated fact that butter can .be churned better in a churn having no internal fixtures than in one with elaborate' set of paddles. PERIOD OF LACTATION. ADVANTAGES OF FALL CALVES. It Has an Important Bearing on the Value of the Cow. Making Permanent Pastures. > Timothy alone does not make good pasture, and blue grass is slow about coming in. The quickest returns are obtained from sowing thickly a mix­ ture of many grasses, which will give varieties that mature at all seasons. Prepare land very thoroughly by re­ peated harrowings, pulverize the sur­ face and sow at the rate of two bush­ els per acre very early in the spring. The following is a good mixture for land that is neither too wet or too dry: Six pounds timothy, six pounds rye grass, seven pounds Kentucky blue grasb, five pounds orchard grass, foqr pounds red top, three pounds tall meadow oat grass, three pounds sheep's feecue, and one pound each or hard fescue, soft meadow grass, mead­ ow fox tail, red clover and white clover. Seed should be thoroughly mixed, divided in equal portions and the field sown both ways, then the seed brushed in lightly. Keep ani­ mals off until' midsummer, when the grass may be pastured lightly for the rest of the year. Bandy Soil. BUGGIES Now is tbe time to buy. Come in while I have a full line to choose from.

Washing Machines Always come here if yon want a washing machine that ie just right—the easy washer ie it. » Machine The period of lactation.. or the length of time a cow will milk, la an important point, and one that does not seem 'thoroughly appreciated. The “escutcheon." or "milk mirror,” is a fair guide to what may be expected from a cow on this score, but weekly records of the milk are more reliable, and if these records are compared with the escutcheon and general ap­ pearance. much valuable Information will be learned. The heaviest milkers are not always the best cows, as many an animal giving a comparatively small quan­ tity will continue to milk almost up to her next calving, yielding in the long run more milk, and being, there­ fore, the more profitable cow for the dairy. As a rule, the smaller the yield, the richer is the quality of the milk, and similarly the smaller breeds of cattle generally give* the best . milk. The richness of milk is due to the proper­ ties of th^ fat globules. Milk con­ taining large and regular sized fat globules yields up all the butter fat Inrihe churn, and all conditions being equal, makes better butter, both in flavor, color and quality, than that containing small and irregular sized fat globules. ' Tbe trade or business of the farm should therefore determine the breed of the cow to be used. If milk is re­ quired, the larger breeds of cattle should be kept; if butter, the small­ er ones. ------ better quality He may muster up courage and say his COFFEE is “just as good,” but he stops right there. CHURN. Bsrrsl Type of Hard to Beat. It is reported that tbe amount ot butter being stored tor next winter is very large. The fine pastures this spring and summer have made it pos­ sible to produce an enormous amount •of milk, and the creameries have been able to secure an unusually large amount pf this. Tbe surplus butter. Instead of going onto the retail mar­ ket to depress the prices, has gons into the storage houses. It is said that on the first of June last year the total amount, of butter in the cold storage bouses of the country amounted to 1,500.000 pounds, while this year the amount on the same date was 7,000.000 pounds. This Is a“ good start and indicates that the market is well under control. It also indicates, says Farmers' Re­ view, that there is a great deal of money in tbe bands of the men that are storing this butter. Last summer when the tightness of the money market began to be felt, much of the butter being held had to be thrown on the market to get out of It the value tied up in IL That tbes buyers of butter are able to store and hold such large quantities indi­ cates a decided improvement in the commercial conditions. The farmers are in every way benefited by the state of affairs, as ft prevents the-de­ moralization of the butter., market, which would affect the farmers both through the creameries and through the farm butter trade. Milk is Worth More Then, and Calves Are Easier to Raise. There is every good reason why calves should ordinarily be dropped in the fall. September and October are the best months. In tne first place.it brings the biggest production of milk at the season of the year when prices are highest. Then, too. It is better for the calf to go through the cold months of his first winter unweaned, and if turned out upon pasture about June l he will hardly miss the milk. Much has been said and written about raising calves, but unless the underlying principles are kept In mind the job is a failure. Indigestion is the chief difficulty with the pall-fed calf.. Some calves seem t» be born with poor stomachs, and no amount of care will prevent the trouble. Use moderate quantities of milk, not exceeding four quarts for a young calf, heated to 100 degrees. Feed at regular intervals front a clean pail. If the milk of the cow Is very rich it will be safe to make It one-third hot water for the first few feeds. After five or six days begin to sub­ stitute skim milk in a small propor­ tion, until at the end of three weeks the youngster is wholly upon skim milk. Keep some bright .hay and mixed feed before him, and he will soon learn to lick them. • A good, bright stable, plenty of sun. and in the t spring a good pasture, are essential. PROFITABLE DAIRYING. Careful Feeding Essential to Getting Largest Profits. It is estimated that the average amount of feed required to produce a ton of butter worth 1500, is equivalent to 40 tons of hay, worth in the market >280. Adding the fertility value of the hay left after producing the butter, tc the value of the ton of butter, equals* >700, or a return of >17.50 per ton for the hay when sold to the cow, while that fed to produce beef or mutton re­ turns only >13.50. Of course, the dif­ ference in favor of feeding the, cow goes to pay for the excess of labor re­ quired in dairying. This view ot the matter might help in the choice of the kind of animals to feed. With broad acres and little available help, it might: be best to feed beef or sheep. On smaller farms and more help, feed the cow and hog. Tbe degree of profit in either case depends much on! the skill of the feeder and on the se­ lection of the animal. A friend ol mine, whose farm is near Fond du Lac, told me. that he received from his 25 cows one year an average of >92 per cow for milk and cream. Some of nry neighbors are satisfied to get >45 per cow.—George C. Hill in Ad dress.

St. Petersburg, SepL 21.—St.- Peters­ burg Is Id the grasp of tbe Asiatic cholera, which already has exceeded Id severity and numbers of victims the visitation of 1892. The disease Is increasing daily at an alarming rate and. unless the authorities show in the future a much greater degree of ability to cope with the situation than they have in the past, there Is every reason to fear that it will get out of hand. The government has threatened to apply the provisions of martial law and this th feat has driven the munici­ pality officials to bend all their ener­ gies to the campaign of clearing the city of the scourge. The aldermanlc council Sunday voted a preliminary sum amounting' to <250,000 to enlarge the hospital space, to purchase and distribute disinfectant*, the supply of which In St. Petersburg is well-nigh exhausted, and to expedite the inter­ ment of bodies which has been notori­ ously slow.

Dracheffsky has pro­ hibited the sale of liquor throughout the city, including the government vodka shops, until September 22, and he has further ordered that after that the sale df liquor shall be suspended at -two p. m. on Saturday until ten a. m. Monday. This action has been taken In order to diminish alcoholic, excesses which very materially in­ crease the liability to cholera infection and the general spread of the disease. Sunday public schools were trans­ formed into hospital wards. A num­ ber of the grammar schools were closed and 4,000 of the students sent to their homes. The department of war has opened stores to supply Imme­ diate needs, and army field kitchens have been dispatched to the poorer quarters to dispense tree food. Entire Country Alarmed.

A death has occurred at Helsingfors from the dis­ ease and ten Russian, steamers have been denied entrance to Viborg har­ bor for evading quarantine at Trangsund, a roadstead eight miles from that port. Germany has become alarmed over the spread of the disease and the German authorities have taken precau­ tions to prevent its crossing the frontier. Austrik has done tbe same thing; Sweden and other near-by coun­ tries have declared a quarantine against Russia, and France is ready to meet any exigencies that may arise. Conditions at Manila.

The Initial step will be taken Mon­ day night when there will be a jubilee opening, at the museum, in connec­ tion with the congress of a tubercu­ losis exposition. It will be one of the largest, the most important and in every way the most comprehensive ex­ hibits ever assembled and It will be Illustrative of what Is being done throughout the world in the fight against tuberculosis. While the dis­ play Is connected with the congress, it is not so closely related as to be taken as the official opening of the congress. That Important event will occur one week later, September 28. Reception by the President While many social functions have been planned for the delegates, the principal event will be the reception tendered by President Roosevelt at the White House on Friday, Octo­ ber 2.

Delegates will be in attend­ ance from practically all of the civil­ ized nations In the world, and the United States will figure largely in the representation. Secretary Cortelyou will call the congress together In the absence of President Roosevelt, who accepted the presidency of that body, but who, be­ cause of official duties, will be unable to be present. Mr. Cortelyou will of­ ficially welcome the delegates on be­ half of the United States government. WRIGHT CHAMPION OF AIR WORLD'S RECORD FLIGHT MADE BY WILBUR IN FRANCE.

The aeroplane was launched with little effort by the corps of attendants and began circling the field with a steady swinging mo­ tion, which at first alarmed the avia­ tor's friends, who watched at one cor­ ner of the’field. Soon the ship steadied Itself and the real part of the voyage which was to prove Wright's greatest victory over bls’ French competitors commenced. Time after time the aeroplane swung aroupd the field In obeying the weight of the aeronaut's hand upon the deli­ cate device which works the "rudder.’’ Once or twice during the voyage the machine careened to one side and then the other, as if coming into con­ tact with an adverse wind current, but the aviator always found a way to right the craft, and it continued safe­ ly upon the record-breaking flight Because of the success of Monday's performance Wilbur Wright soon after he and the aeroplane had landed safe­ ly at the starting point announced that Z’lthin a few days he would be able to j tell just when he wants the trial flights, which will decide whether he fulfills the stipulations laid out by the French government A number of French aeropianists have been working hard with their machines lo outdo the success of the American aviator. As yet they have not been able to even equal Wilbur Wright's second best flight, which was In the neighborhood of 40 minutes. BLOODY FIGHT WITH POSlE. Sheriff and Murderer's Wife Fatally .

This is due to its real mineral surface which is tar more durable than any paint made. It is not affected by weather and will last indefin­ itely.

How the Booth company profited from this law Is explained by a fish dealer who says that tfie company had its cold storage plants filled with frozen fish wh’ch it could not sell so long as fresh fish were on the market. When the closed season was provided for, tfie Booth company got rid-of its stale fish and for six weeks in the year it enjoyed a monopoly of the market.

Gov. Warner applied for a mandamus to prevent the board from going back over the returns.

Some are an absolute protection, others amount to practically nothing at all. If a man wants to protect his buildings he should use the best rod. The manufacturer who makes the best rod gives you a guarantee with it. The man who makes a cheap rod, which he himself has no faith In, will not give you a guarantee. I put up tbe Martin guaranteed rod at 1'5 cents per foot. If your building is struck by lightning and burned after being equipped with tbe Martin guar­ anteed rods, you get <500 in cash. The fact that the manufacturers make this guarantee shows that they know that their rod is an absolute protection against fire by lightning. Now isn’t it foolish, tn order to save a few dollars In rodding your building, to use a rod which neither tbe man who makes it □or tbe man wbo sells it has confidence in? If you want that kind of a rod, I will put up the ordinary copper rod at 10 centa per foot-or I will sell yon tbs steel wire rod at 2 cents per .foot, w., but I would much rather equip your buiMIngs with tbe Martin guaranteed rod, which I know will protectwhich you get a $500 cash guarantee that your bullcikigs are absolutely protected.

To be well-dressed in these days, is not so much a matter of individ­ ual judgment in the selection of one'sclothing, as good judgment in the selection of one’s clothier. As a store, which caters to the requirements of men of taste, we take pride in having closing which we can guarantee to be not only the best possible value in materials and workmanship, but thoroughly up-to-date in style, and has the, good fit necessary to a well-dressed, gentlemanly appearance. This "HERMANWILE" cloth­ ing of which we illustrate a few of tbe new styles, is one of our lead­ ing lines, because nowhere in the markets can we find clothing of such superior excellence, to sell for such reasonable prices as we ask for it. Every garment is hand-tailored throughout—it is made by Union workmen in a clean sanitary fac­ tory—and so‘exceptionally good is it in every quality which adds value, that it is generally known as the clothing -that is “Better than Custom Made.” We are anxious to have vou call -------,v---------_;i and examine thesl- garments before you----------purchase your new r Fall outfit, as we are confident that a careful .comparison wirith ’ other ” liner of clothing which you may be offered win convince ,you that our claims of ----- better quality ------ better style ------ better fit ——better value are based'on tbe actual merit of the clothing itself. And when you have seen the exceedingly tasteful patterns in the newest and most popu­ lar colorings—when you have tried it on and seen the distinctiveness which the exceptional style and fit give you, you will lx- satisfied that nowhere can yqu do better, and will buy the clothing which is “Better than Custom Made.” £ 0.

The body of Mrs, O. M.J HulHnger, .whose. unexpected death ^in Lansing Wednesday morning of last week was mentioned in the last issue of. Tbe News, arrived here last Thursday noon and was taken to tbe home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. E. J. Feighner, where, surrounded by beautiful flowers given Jn abundance by loving and sympathetic friends, all that remained of Mrs. Hullinger awaited the last sad ceremonial ob­ servance, which took place Friday afternoon at half past two o'clock. Comforting words were spoken by Rev. W. A. Minty, pastor of the Pil­ grim Congregational church of Lan­ sing, of which she was an esteemed member, and Rev. Alfred Way. pas­ tor of the M. E. church of this" place, assisted in the service. The body was buried in Lakeview cemetery, and as it slowly disappeared to its final earthly place of rest, the last flower visible was a beautiful white lily— impressively suggestive of the pure, spotless life of the Lillie, whose un­ timely death has robbed a happy home of its dearest treasure, and the community at large of one who made the world better for having lived. Lillie Belle Feighner was born in Nashville October 16. 1870, and grew to maturity here. At tbe age of six­ teen years she began teaching school and later was employed in the pri­ mary department of the schools in Hastings and in this village. Her career as a teacher was eminently suc­ cessful, as she was inherently fond of children and loved to be among them, and after her marriage was chosen as kindergarten teacher ifi Jackson be­ cause of her special adaptability to this work. At the age of twenty-one she united with the Congregational church, and those who were most in­ timately associated with her knew best of the consistent, consecrated, chrtstian life she lived. July 17, 1892, she was joined in marriage to O.-M. Hullinger in this village, and while living here a son— Merle- was born to them April 30, 1895, the union of these two lives havingbeen further blessed by the advent of a daughter—Dorothy—in South Bend, Indiana, January 21, 1903. For the past three years Mrs. Hull­ inger has been very poorly, although she bravely concealed her suffering in the presence of others. She feared that she would be taken at a time not far distant .and because of this fact she had sorrows and heartaches of which the world knew nothing. She loved her family, she loved her home, her neighbors, her friends, her church, she loved life in its entirety, and after being confined to lier bed for three weeks with no hope of ultimate recovery without an operation, she ex­ pressed a willingness and a desire to undergo anything in the hope of re­ storation to perfect health. An oper­ ation was performed and a tumor re­ moved at Lansing hospital Saturday, September 19, and the patient was in the best of condition until the follow­ ing Tuesday evening’ when symptoms of peritonitis developed. She then grew worse rapidly and at one o’clock Wednesday morning the curtain of death fell upon the last spark of hope, and with it Wii a mantle of gloom over every community in which the deceasvdw-e kfapwp.’ SheUieU on the 39th birthday of her husband. Mrs. "Hullinger was an accomplished and refined lady whom everyone loved. She was.fortunately endowed with an exceptionally sweet voice, and how familiar it would sound to many peo­ ple to hear her sing the words sung at her funeral, “Some day the silver chord will break"’ During her life her heart was always beating in sympathy with those who : met with misfortune, and her hands were ready and willing to minister to them. She considered others first, herself last. No on<; ever entered her home without feeling the warmth of a hearty wel­ come, and her circle of friends expand­ ed in accordance with the number of people she met. Devotion to her family and to her home, love of church and Sunday school work, loy­ alty to that which she 'believed to be right, kindness, gentleness of disposi­ tion, interest in the welfare and com­ fort of others and sympathy for sorrowing humanity were prominent among her many commendable charac­ teristics which blended so harmonious­ ly in tbe making of the truly beautiful life which Mrs. Hullinger lived. Her departure touches the tende rest chord of the hearts of those near and dear to her, but the deepest sympathy of friends innumerable pours out to them in unstinted measure. She leaves husband, son, daughter, parents, and three sisters, Mrs. W. A. Crabb of Carson City, Mrs. C. P. Sprague and Miss Esta Feighner of this place. Those from a distance who attended the funeral were; Mr. and Mrs. W. A. Crabb of Carson City, Mr. and Mrs. W. O. Hullinger of Mt. Pleasant. B. C. Hullinger of Villisca, Iowa, Mrs. J. 8. Beigh and daughter, Nora, of Battle Creek, Mrs. Ed. Bottom, Mrs. Walter Lampman, W. W. Kelly and daughter Maude, Mrs. V. B. Furniss, Mrs. J. E. McElwain and Mrs. J. C. Ketcham, all of Hastings. democrat. He is one of the old schoolI democrats; one of the democrats who, have not forgotten the grand principles। upon which tbe great party was found­. ed. He is democratic in everything. In fact, a study of tbe picture will con­. vince you that he is democratic, andI an acquaintance with tbe man himselff Will rivet tbe conviction more firmly to your mind. He is so democratic inl principle that he applies those prin­. ciples to his everyday life, and that is। what commends him to the notice of' the taxpayers of the county for their• support. ’ . He was born down in Johnstown। township on September 23, the year• before the "crime of ’73," and alongwith brothers and sisters resided with। his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Charles। Glasner, for about fifteen years, when, a yearning to annex an education। took hold of him and he started out, for Battle Creek, with his red-toppedI boots and flannel shirt, to attend school. His parents were poor and he• was com|>etled to earn his way thro' school, and clerked in a store nights, morningsand Saturdayrfor his board. After attending the Battle Creek high। school he secured a certificate and commenced teaching school, in which। - occupation he worked for about four years, when he went to work for W. P. Thompson in a store at Lacey. When he was twenty-one he had saved enough of his earnings to buy a lot ip Lacey and borrowed four hundred dol« lars to build a store. “It was a “hefty" store, but he commenced • business there nevertheless, on his own hook, with a hundred and fifty dollars’ worth of goods, some debts and with a will that has brought him success. After he had been there seven months, Grover Cleveland gave him the documents that allowed him to.. collect the princely salary connected with the postofflee of that hamlet, which office he held until he sold out his business tbree or four years after­ ward. He then came to Npshville .and bought the R. Mayo store and a little while afterward purchased the stock. He ran this store two years and sold out and went to Centreville, where he was in business about a year. He tbap came back to Nashville, built the store now occupied by Green A Son. in which he installed a stock of gro­ ceries and continued in business for about two years, when he sold out and went to Battle Creek, where he clerked in a dry goods store a year and a' half. He then came back to Nashville and bought the A. G. Gulden stock and has continued the business since up to a few weeks ago, when he sold a half interest to Herman Maurer. He was married June 22, 1898, to Miss Maud Wilcox. He is at present treasurer of the Re­ tail Grocers' and General Merchants’ association of Michigan. He is one of the trustees of the Methodist church of this village, was elected, assessor of tbe village last year, is secretary ■ of the board of education and a mem­ . ber of the board of county canvassers. ’ In every trust that the people have ever imposed in him be has filled the duties with credit to himself and with firpflt to the people. He is scrupuously honest and bears a reputation for fairness that every man who knows him can testify to. He is bright, he Is educated, and is as competent to fill the office to which he aspires as any man in Barry county. He is a man of tbe common people, a man who has made himself fewhat he is, by hard knocks and a strict ad heratace to the old rule, that * ‘honesty is the best policy.” If be is elected to tbe office, no one in the county need fear but what the interests of Barry county in the legislature of the state will be Next Sunday morning will be the looked after with a care that will first quarterly meeting service of this conference year at tbe M.

Roosevelt, In Vigorous. Reply, Scores the Democratic Candidate for This Attitude and Says Severe .Things About Oklahoma Governor.' Milwaukee. Sept 28.—Defending Gov. HasBeli against the charges which have been brought against him, “un­ til tbe charges can be examined in some court where partisanship does not bias." William Jennings Bryan, Democratic candidate for president, on bis way from Madison to this city gave out for publication his reply to President Roosevelt's recent letter, in response to his telegram on the subMr. Bryan speaks of the election of Mr. HMkell as governor, of Oklahoma, aqd says.that “the constitution was adopted and Gov. Haskell was elected in spite of the' efforts of your admin­ istration and in spite of the speeches made in Oklahoma by Mr. Taft." Mr. Bryan charges, among other -things, that the steel trust “with your express consent" purchased one of its largest rivals end thus obtained con­ trol of more than-50 per cent of the total output. ’ He asked the president if he will insist that "in permitting this you showed less favor to tbe monopolistic corporations than I do in opposing It." Reply by President Washington, Sept. . 28.—President Roosevelt late Sunday night made re­ ply to William J. Bryan's recent speech In which he maintained that the Democratic party and platform were not getting a .square deal in the campaign. The president’s reply deals particularly with Mr. Bryan’s assertion that 'the administration lias been neither sincere nor effective In the prosecution of trusts. Mr. Roosevelt combats this charge with characteristic emphasis, and sets forth in detail what has been done under his direction toward curbing the tendency of capital to centralize with a view to destroying competition. Scored for Defending Haskell. In regard to Mr. Bryan’s attitude to­ ward Gov. Haskell, the president Mys: “You state that Mr. Haskell has voluntarily resigned from the com mittee. You speak highly of- the public service which he has rendered and protest against any condemnation of him except such as may. come in a court Out of your own mouth you are condemned. You thereby set up that standard of ‘law honesty* which has been tbe bane of this peo­ ple In endeavoring to get equity and fair dealing—m they should obtain among high-minded men—From great business corporations andr from indi­ viduals like Mr. Haskell. "Apparently you disclaim even ask­ ing Mr. Haskell to retire from the position' in which you placed him, so that he retires ctf his own free will, and you utter no- word of condemna­ tion ot his gross offenses against pub­ lic decency and honesty. On the contAry, you strive to make it appear that his misconduct in reference to the Standard Oil Company is all of which he is accused; whereas, shame­ less though this particular act of his is. it is no worse than countless others in his career. 1 contrast your action in this case with that of Mr. Taft in .reference to Senator Foraker.” Alleged Frauds in Indian Lands. ' Mr. Roosevelt calls attention to L. T. Russell’s statement that be pre­ sented the charges against Haskell to Mr. Bryan last fall and that Mr. Bry­ an refused to read them. He then quotes from a letter from M. L. Nott, national attorney for the Creek Na­ tion, in which Haskell, with others, is accused ot having secured deeds to lots In Muskogee by fraud and con­ spiracy by means of "straw" men and "dummies.” "For this particular act of the man whose public record you Indorse." Bays Mr. Roosevelt, "you may rest as­ sured that the interior department will endeavor to see that the courts do ’justice* to him." ‘ DR. CROSSLAND ARRESTED.

To consume these gases it is necessary that a volume of heated air be mixed with them immediately over the fire. In the KALAMO.

Mrs. Carrie Williams was called to Duck Lake one day last week on ac­ count of the illness and death of her friend, Wm. Anderson. W. A. Baker and wife visited at Will Martin’s and George Ripley's Sunday. A Mr. Brown from the south part of the state is here visiting relatives and looking for a farm to buy. Acorn Gas Burner air enters at the blast belt damper and is heated in the blast belt, which extends entirely around the stove at the top of the fire pot. From this chamber the air is thrown over the surface of the fire, where it mix­ es with the forming gases and they immediately ignite. The saving thus effected is much larger^ than gener­ ally supposed since these burning gases generate a temperature twice as high as the temperature of the fire in which the gases are forming.

Brown Kenneth, the five-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Albert Smith of Maple Grove was taken to ^nn Arbor yes­ terday morning to receive the Pasteur treatment. Last Friday morning the little one was playing in the garden a: his home, while his mother was working but a few feet away. Mrs. Smith happened to look up and see a strange dog approaching, and qalled to the boy to look put for the dog, but she was too late, for just as he looked up the dog snapped at him, one tooth cutting into bis nose just be­ low the eye. A fore-piece" on a cap which the boy wore undoubtedly sav­ ed his face from being badly lacerat­ ed. The wound bled profusely and the boy was at once taken to Dr. Briley at Kalamo and the wound was cauterized, but after being told all of the circumstances the doctor ad­ vised the Pasteur treatment and the boy was accordingly token to Ann Arbor. The dOg was a female of the hound variety, and seemingly.paid no attention to the boy further than to snap at him as he passed by him. He continued on in an easterly direct­ ion and it is said-that he" bit a dog over in .Kalamo township. Il is not known of course whether the dog w^s afflicted with the rabies, but there has been so much of this trouble in the state during the summer and fall that it is safe to act on the presumption WOMAN’S LITERARY CLUB. The first meeting of the Woman’s Literary club was held Tuesday at the home of Mrs. Ellen Humphrey. After a short business session, the regular program was opened by “Va­ cation Thoughts”. Especially worthy of mention were Mrs. Roe’s description pf the Rocky mountains, Mrs. Lentz’s trip across Puget Sound, Mrs. Marshall’s report of the Woman’s club at Sparta, Mrs. Humphrey’s trip to Bay City and Shultz and Mrs. Crocker’s home les­ son—not to indulge one’s-seh in self pity over tasks that may be difficult. • The most enjoyable feature of the afternoon was -a review of “Hiram Golf, or the Shoemaker by the Grace of God" by Mrs: Shilling. Begin­ ning with the description of the river, the village, the characters, especially the shoemaker, the parson and the deacon, she led us on to see the beau­ tiful philosophy underneath and the spiritual uplifting of work well done, finishing with the sublime scene where the dying shoemaker apologizes for his former bard feelings against death. After a few moments spent in “cheerful chatter”, we adjourned to meet with Mrs. Roe Tuesday, October 13, to further consider business mat­ ters.

A light was brought from the galley by the cabin boy and the three went below again. Captain Tuggles plunged to the door of his own cabin, turned the handle confidently. Sure enough it was locked. "Ywu see?" said Mr. Collier. “I see, but I don’t understand." said the captain. "Those two females went Into this cabin. I showed them in there myself." > He pointed to the locked door. "And that's locked, too. Now, cap- I tain, we are determined to get in those two cabins and we don't want to do any unnecessary damage to your ship. Have you a carpenter on board?" "Yes," growled the captain. "Then you'd better send for him, for If you don't, I shall be under the pain­ ful necessity of blowing open the locks.” The captain ran up the ladder and hade the second mate—both mates had been on deck during the episode— send the carpenter aft with some tools for forcing locks. Presently a grizzled old veteran presented himself in the cabin and by Captain Tuggles' direction soon forced the lock of the stateroom. Taking a lantern Seton went Into the room which had been oc­ cupied by the young women. It was empty. Both bunks had been slept In. however, and on the floor lay Ellen's sword, belt and pistols where she had left them. "They were here, that's certain," he said, turning to Mr. Collier. "They've probably gone into the captain's cabin." "What for. I wonder," growled the American. "We’ll soon see." returned Collier. "Have the carpenter open that door also." After fumbling a few moments the carpenter forced open the last door. Again Seton entered, followed by the other two. ■ There was no one there. The captain’s eye was attracted by the open stern window. He started, opened his mouth to Aay something, thought better upon It and stopped. But there were two pairs of eyes in the cabin just as sharp as those of worthy Master Tuggles. One pair be­ longed to tig! sailor. Collier, too. noticed the open stern window and he at once pointed It out to Seton. "I see'It all now," he said. "Some­ thing must have alarmed them. They left their own cabin, locked it to keep us busy and give themselves time, came in here and went overboard through the stern window." "Overboard Into what?" cried Sir Charles In dismay. “You don’t chink they’ve committed suicide?" Collier laughed. "Certainly not Didn't'.- you notice just before dark when we were over­ hauling the ship that she had a small boat trailing astern. It’s pounds to pennies that they've gone In that Here, wait; I'll find out.” He wriggled out of the window himself, dropped down the Jacob's ladder and peered anxiously aft. There was no sign of a boat It was dark and .be couldn't see very, well, but he could see enough to know that from whatever cause, the boat that had been dragging astern was gone. "Teu've lost them again. Sir Charles,” he said gloomily, as he ellmbed into the cabin again. "I’ll not bel^ve K" cried Sir Charles bitterly disappointed at this unfortunate ending ef so promising a venture. Captain Tuggles laughed. It must be eoafacsed that ba huvalv ontavMl II I' the discomfiture of hhi unwelcome visitors. "What’s to be done sow’’ cried «r Charles. . "Nothing but go back to the Britan* nia.” ' "What! without searching the aMpr "Well, we can do that." returned Collier, “but I'm morally cartain that It’ll be* of little use.” . "Nevertheless," answered Sir Charles, "1 should like it. for they may have been concealed elsewhere and this all may be a trick to throw us off the scent” “All right" returned the naval of­ ficer, 'TH have a dozen of the Britan­ nia* out of the boat and we’ll over­ haul the Flyink Star from stem to stern and from truck to keelson." "Gentlemen," said the captain. Tn terrible anxious to get ahead. 1’11 be honest with you this time. I did take in them two parties about noon to-day. I knowed that the one in men?s clothes was a woman soon as I laid eyes on her. but she said she was the daugh­ ter of Captain William Penn Slocum of Philadelphia, a man I’d knowed for many years, an’ 1 agreed to take her to Bordeaux whither I'm bound. She said she was runnln' away-from her husband. And the other girl was runnln' away from a lover. No. not exac’ly," continued the captain, cor­ recting himself, "the other girl was runnln’ away 'cause she had to. I took it that she was no wise wtllih' to come with us but she couldn't help it" Sir Charles' heart leaped at this con­ firmation of his hopes and dreams. •An' I give you my word." continued the captain, "that they ain't nowhere else In the ship. I was down here just before dark, thought I'd fetch them some supper, and they was both asleep, an* I didn't have the> heart to wake 'em up. 1 think It's just as this gentleman says, somethin' must have alarmed them, maybfc they beard your hail; their boat was draggin' astern, and they made off in her/'v ”1 have no doubt that you are speak­ ing the truth," answered Seton. Captain Tuggles startled violently. “Nay," said the soldier, "1 mean no offense at all, but you don’t know Lady Ellen Carrington, and it’s quite possible that without your knowledge she’s concealed herself In some other part of the ship.” "If 1 produce her will you take off your men and your ship and lemme go on?" "Instantly," returned Seton. "1 wish I could do it," said the cap­ tain. "All I can do is to send my men to assist yours. Mr. Rayker,” he called out to the mate, "have the ship searched. Put no hindrance In the way of these Britishers, and if them two females can be found, fetch 'em aft, for God's sake!" It did not take the sailors long to search the ship. They found no trace of Ellen and Deborah whatso­ ever and so reported to Collier. "1 am sorry for you. Sir Charles." said Collier, “but’they have evidently escaped you. They're cruising around somewhere in these waters in that boat Perhaps we can overhaul them at daybreak if we have good luck." he said. "At any rate, they are not here, and we'U have to return to the Britannia." "My friend," said Sir Charles, gloomily, "we owe you some repara­ tion for stopping you In this way. If this will compensate, I shall be glad.” He extended his hand with a rouleau of gold pieces in it Captain Tuggles took the money, examined it critically, walked to the side of the vessel and dropped It overboard. “What do you mean by that?” cried Sir Charles, angrily. "It's right that you should pay^me tor the trouble you've caused and the Insult you’ve put upon me, but that doesn’t make it necessary for me to take your money." "Why didn’t you give it back, then?" asked Collier, who was as much aston­ ished as Beton. "There wouldn't have been any pay if I’d give it back. It goes into the ocean, that'll clean It off.

A few moments later there was a shrilling of pipes, a hoarse growling, a hurrying of feet along the decks of the liner.

It was **ld that the court proceedings would not require the board to stop the counting. The board recounted Lapeer county. Warner, on the recount of the votes cast in Huron county sustained a net loss if 101 votes with the ballots from a num­ ber of townships to be counted. The vote tn two townships, Fairhaven and Caseville, had been thrown out in its entirety because of the failure of the inspectors of the primary election to write their initials on the backs of the ballots as the law requires. Gov. War­ ner sustained a net loss of 70 votes in these townships. He lost 17 in Sand Beach because of distinguishing marks and other defects in the ballots.

President Hawks of the Detroit & Mackinac railway says the com­ pany is planning to operate a continu­ ous farm along its right of way next season. It is proposed to cultivate the land each side of the track, planting a diversity of crops. There Is a two­ fold purpose in this plan. One is to show travelers on the road and in­ tending settlers what can be done with the soil and another is to avoid the numerous fires which are started along the railroad by sparks from loco­ motives when weeds and dry grass are allowed to accumulate each sea­ son. The company will also operate a 40-acre mode! farm at Emery Junction. Veterlnaries Organize.

When the. convention met for. the afternoon sesalon the bittie lay between Fuller and Simpson. It was Wayne that deter­ mined the final result If the big delegation had split it Is very likely that Simpson would have been nomi­ nated. But the 129 votes of Wayne went solid to Fuller and this made the- nomination. It was unheard of for a Wayne delegation to stand as a unit, but there were two contributing causes; the fact that the friends of Gov. Warner were in control and also because Thomas J.

The Nashville Lumber Co H Martin’s Lightning Proof, Better than Insurance Lightning Rods - ■ • * J There is all the difference in the world in lightning rods. Some are an absolute protection, other* amount to practically nothing at all. If a man wants tn protect his buildings he should use tbe best rod. The manufacturer who makes the best rod gives you a guarantee with it. The man who make* a cheap rod, which he himself has no faith in, will not give you a .guarantee. I put up the Martin guaranteed rod at 15 cent* per foot. If your building ta struck by lightning and burned after being equipped with the Martin guar­ anteed rods, you get 8500 in cash. The fact that the manufacturer* make thia guarantee showr that they keew that their rod i* an absolute protection against fire by lightning. Now isn’t it foolish, in order to «ave a few dollar* in rodding your building, to use a rod which neither the man who make* it nor the man who sells it has confidence in? If you spnt that kind of a rod, I will put up the ordinary copper rod al 10 oenU per foot or I will sell you tba steel wire rod at 2 cents per foot, but I would much rather equip your build­ ing* with the Martin guaranteed rod, which I knew will prnt^ithem, and on which you get a >500 cuh gvaractee that your buildings are absolutely protected. Under any circumstances, do not allow anybody to put lightning rod* on your building until you have seen me. Yon are invited to call and see this system demon­ strated.

Philadelphia, Oct. &.—From out the historic old belfry of independence hall, where once the liberty of a new­ born nation was proclaimed, there came Sunday the peais of a bell to sig­ nal the opening of the most unique and significant civic celebration the country has ever witnessed. Bdlls and chimes Id all oFtbe city churches joined in the bronze-tongued chorus and Philadelphia was aroused at dawn to a realization of the advent of Founders’ -week, the two hundred and twenty-fifth anniversary of the found­ ing of the city by William Pepn. Profound services of praise and thanksgiving held In the churches Sunday will be followed throughout all’of the coming week by a succes­ sion of pageants which promise to eclipse anything ot the kind hereto­ fore attempted. City Hall la Magnificent The. downtown streets Sunday night were ' thronged with thousands of visitors, and the buildings which by day had been a mass of waving colors were brilliantly outlined in the fire of countless electric bulbs. The im­ mense city hall building, with its tower reaching to a height but a few feet short of the Washington monu­ ment, waa the center of interest and the moat spectacular ot all the dec­ orated structurea. This great achltectUral pile has been fairly smothered In flags, bunting and Ingenious elec­ trical dsvices. Long chains of incan­ descent bulbs trace the outlines of tbs building against the sky, while at each of the four facades facing north, east south and west, a sunburst of lights gives a bold brilliance to the illumina­ tions. which can be seen for miler in every direction. Tbe high-reaching columns of gran­ ite at the four corners of tbe building have been entirely covered with the glowing bulbs, while as a climax to tbe decorative plan halt a dozen pow­ erful searchlights are trained upon the colossal statue of William Penn, which surmounts the tower. The heroic bronze figure of the city's founder stands out In dazzling brilliance. The decorations of piany of the city build­ ings, theaters, hotels and stores are In keeping with this great central piece. To Show History ot City. The Founders’ week celebration as a whole is the most pretentious un­ dertaking thia city has ever attempted. The program, which will not be concluded until next Saturday mid­ night, is crowded with interesting and spectacular events. The attractions are of the widest possible scope, but al! have been arranged with the cen­ tral idea of showing the progress of the city from its founding nearly a hundred years before the signing -of the Declaration of Independence down to the present day.

How much?" ‘ Working Nurses Needed. ‘ A New York woman says that there Is a great demand for nurses in the families of ordinary people who might be able to pay from 910 to SI5 a week, but would expect the nurse to not only help with the sick ernes, but as­ sist with the work that Is so much greater when there is sickness in the family. The trained nurse as a gen­ eral thing would scorn to do anything else but her work proper, and she has her rights, but ft will certainly be a good thing for the country when some one establishes a kind of working nurse who is not above helping those who cannot afford to hire the trained nurse- and servant as well and are, under ordinary circumstances, their own servants.

R faH Greeting more Profilin Stock Raising can be made if the digestive capacity of vour animals is increased and perfect health maintained. Dr. Hess Stock Food Is tbe prescription of Dr. Hess (M. D., D. S. V.) for iocrearing the digestion, regulating the bowels, puri­ fying the blood and relieving the minor stock ailments. A healthy animal only di­ gests about 50 per cent, of its food. By tbe addition of bit­ ter tonics this amount can be increased. If a healthy ani­ mal can be improved, think of the profit in feeding DR. HESS STOCK FOOD to an unthrifty animal. It re­ stores health and compels the animal to convert the largest possible percentage of food eaten into bone, muacle, milk, fat, etc., permitting less to pass off as waste. Dr. Hess Stock Food is the scientific kind; it has the med­ ical and veterinary institu­ tions back of it. Sold on a written guarantee. We now have in stock our ladies’ Coats and Furs.

FOR PROSECUTING ATTORNEY W. W. Petter, Candidate on the Republican Ticket, the Right Man. More Comfortable The News, as is well known Is ab­ solutely independent in politics, and bfellevea in giving every-man his just due, be he republican, democrat, prohibitionist or populist. We don’t believe in running' away after new fads or “isms.’’ We oelieve in electing to municipal and county office the nest man for the place. The office of prosecuting attorney is one of the most important in the county. It should be filled by the ablest attorney in the county who can be prevailed upon to accept, it. This has not al­ ways been done in the past, but that js all the more reason why it should be done now and in the future. There You will be a great deal more comfortable if you can reconcile your­ self to allow other people to misman­ age their own affairs and do YOUR business with “The Old Reliable” Actions speak louder than words and money does not need a mega­ phone, but confidentially we have it in wholesale quantities and at reason­ able, as well as liberal, terms. THE COMING FAIR. Get ready. The time is short. !Two weeks from next Monday evening' the doings will commence, and it will be the busiest week that Nashville evpr knew, that’s a certainty. There will be everything Imaginable on sale,, from breakfast food to steel ranges and. from candy and peanuts . to pianos. There will be voting contests and guessing contests. 'Some one will get a diamond ring and some one a watch. Some one will gel a beautiful prize every evening. . The King piano people have contributed a splendid new piano. The Round Oak stove people and C. L. Glasgow have given a Round Oak range. These are only some of the more important items. <». G. Munroe’s wholesale houses have donated ovbrcoata and suits, traveling bags, etc. Other dealers have been very liberal and the con­ tributions are still coming. The far­ mers are giving potatoes, corn, apples, pumpkins, squashes and every­ thing imaginable. They know it is to a good cause. They appreciate that the Nashville club is building a fine new building in Nashville and they want to help what they can. It is a commendable spirit. The farmers and their families will be out in force, too, all through the week to attend the fair, have a good time, and help make the fair a success. People from the surrounding towns proclaim their in­ tention of coming to visit the fair, and the people of the village won’t do much of anything else that week only to attend the fair and help to make a gala week of it. The first week in November will be one big. week in Nashville. A LUCKY ESCAPE Yours for a Bounteous Harvest Farmers & Merchants Bank was a call from republicans all around the county for W. W. Potter to accept the nomination for prosecuting attor­ ney and he finally accepted. The big majority he received showed plainly that he’ was the popular candidate. His legal ability is universally recog• nized. His absolute integrity is un­ questioned. His capacity for work is well known. He is in every way a splendid example of what a good law­ yer should be. We beliqve he is the best-qualified man in Barry county to fill the office of prosecuting attorney, and we are satisfied that the vote on Novemi>er 3 will indicate very plainly that a large majority of the people of Barry county believe as we do. Recently the Barry County Good Citizenship League sent out a set of questions to all the Barry county nominees. We give below the ques­ tions submitted to Mr. Potter: Have You Got a Cold? This is the time of year when coughs and colds are prevalent/ and if they are not attended to at once might result seriously. I have a good line of cough and cold cures on hand and will guaran­ tee them as the best on the market, and the prices are right Don’t delay as delays are dangerous. - C. H. Brown - THERE IS A MARKED DIFFERENCE in the satisfaction of a man when he smokes. If he gets a cigar that suits him he wants the same next time if possible.

Try your favorite and be convinced. VON W. FURNISS. 4 Hastings, Mich., Sept. 21,1908. Mr. W. W. Potter, City. Dear sir:— Believing that the attitude of nomi­ nees for county and legislative offices toward the local option law will be the Station uppermost in the minds of voters of Barry County during the coming campaign, the undersigned executive committee of the Barry County Good Citizenship League, an organization comprising four hun­ dred contributing members of all shades of political belief, respectfully requests that you answer the follow­ ing questions' to the end that there may be no uncertainty as to your position regarding local option should you lie elected. « 1. Are you in favor of local option? 2. If elected, will you entotce the local option law in every locality re­ gardless of local sentiment as thor­ oughly, vigorously and impartially as you will the laws against burglary, arson, forgery? 3. If elected, will you make com­ plaints iny our own name whereevidence is presented to you that shows a proba­ ble violation of the local option law? 4. If elected, will you endeavor to secure evidence against possible violators of the local option law° A duplicate of this letter is being sent to your opponent, and it is the purpose of the League to publish both your replies without comment in all the papers of the county. We de­ sire to get the replies of the various candidates before the public at the earliest possible moment and we will therefore appreciate the courtesy of a prompt reply. Yours respectfully, M. L. Cook, Pres. C. A. Hough, A. C. Jones, Vice Presidents. J. C. Ketcham, Secy. A. C. Boyes, Treat. To these questions Mr. Potter sub­ mitted the following answers, which are complete, unequivocal, and cer­ tainly should be satisfactory to every thinking and right-minded voter, no matter whether ne be a member of the Barry County Good Citizenship League or not: Hastings, Mich. Sept. 26, 1908. To the Executive Committee of the Barry County Good Citizenship League, Gentlemen:— I am in receipt of your esteemed favor of Sept. 21, in which you put certain questions to me relating to local option and its enforcement, and stating that a similar letter had been sent bv you to mv opoonent. I had thought that my position upon local option had heretofore been made plain and that there was no room for misunderstanding about it. I have no desire to evade responsibility should I l>e elected; no hope of secur­ ing the election by false pretenses; no desire to be elected at all encumber­ ed with campaign promises which will prevent my discharging the duties of the offlee in the manner which 1 shall believe to be for the beat interests of the people, and no objections to fully and fairly stating my position in re(Continued on page 4.) A mix-up which might easily have resulted seriously for one or both of the participants, but which on the contrary turned out to be funny rather than anything else, occurred Saturday morning just north of the stand-pipe hill. Dr. C. S. McIntyre of Wood­ land was coming to Nashville with his automobile to catch the morning train, taking a patient to the hospital at Ann Arbor. It was train time and the Doctor was bowling along at a merry clip, when he met Asa Bivens, driving north. Asa’s nag was rather, leary of automobiles ana started to shy out. The Doctor swerved to one side of the road with the machine in order to get out of the way of the hofse, but the nag refused to see it that way and wheeled in front of the machine; he got out of the way of it himself, but the buggy was struck amidships by theendof the car, smash­ ing it up in first-class shape. Asa took a sudden shot into the air and landed squarely on top of the front end of the auto', giving the doctor a passenger where he had never carried one before. Asa pluckily hung, to the reins during all the mixup, the car was stopped almost in its tracks, the horse was restrained from running or doing any damage, and the only sufferer from the mix-up was the buggy, which was taken to the repair shop and fixed up at the Doctor’s expense. The latter made his train all right and they all lived happily ever after. FARMERS* STOCK HAVE THE RABIES. As the result of the visit of a mad dog in Prairieville township a month ago, several persons have nearly be­ come victims of stock affected with rabies. At the time the dog passed across the township, many hogs and cattle were bitten. Some of them were isolated by order of the township board. A number of hog? on the farm of Clarence Hammond were ordered lock­ ed up. Hammond, after several weeks, doubted the wisdom of the officials, and summoned a veterinary from Plainwpll. When he and the doctor went into the field the hogs suddenly turned upon them, with frothing mouths and vicious squeals. The men took to their heels and vault­ ed over fences iust in time to escape the angry animals. They were at onoe killed, and examination showed the hogs had rabies. No less thrilling was the escape of Mrs. Homer Aldrich, who was attack­ ed by a mad steer on the farm of her father, G. Hughes, a prominent farmer of the township. Mrs. Hughes went into the bam yard, and the animal rushed at her. She scaled a fence in time to escape the horns of the animal which caught in her clothing. The steer escaped into a field, where it was shot. FREIGHT WRECK. One of the freight trains, while at work in the Nashville yards Thursday, met with a bit of misfortune which de­ layed traffic for a brief time. They ware pulling a car from the Townsend siding when it struck a split rail and jumped the track. The engine crew knew nothing of it and kept on mov­ ing east until the car was opposite the freight bouse, when it got tired of bumping along over the ties and turn­ ed turtle, right across the main track. The freight crew managed to get it out of the way of traffic and the next Sty the wrecking crew came down and eared it up. The car was so badly wrecked that ft was broken up and burned. Grand Rapids jobbers with a special train will visit the towns along the Grand Rapids division of the Mich­ igan Central Friday of this week, and will spend a half hour among their Nashville friends, arriving here at 4:01 and leaving at 4:38 p. m We should give them the most cordial sort of welcome and show them that Naahville is one of the liveliest towns they will see on their trip. Every business man and every other citizen who can spare the time should meet them at the station when their train pulls in and do everything in his power to make their short stay heap a pleasant one. They are the hustlers of Grand Rapids. Let us show them that Nashville has the same class of people. LOCAL NEWS. •10.00 suits, all wool, of Greene. Ready made suits of Greene, the tailor.

A couple of hours after the ar­ rival of the two hot-headed lords at the Blue Boar, an officer from the squadron inquired for Lieutenant Car­ rington. A servant carried his mes­ sage up to the room where Car­ rington was lying down waiting for the next turn of events, and he was instantly admitted. He’ proved to be Lieutenant Miller, a uh Ip mate and Intimate friend of Carrington's, who had come from the Niobe to the Inn for two reasons. One was in re­ sponse to Carrington's urgent ap­ peal that he act as his second in the approaching affair with .Btrathgate. and the other was because he bore orders from the captain of the Niobe directing Carrington to report on board at once, as the Niobe was un­ der orders for the Mediterranean with­ out delay. It was already quite late in the afternoon when Mr. Miller laid his orders before Carrington. "I can't go," said the eart. reso­ lutely, “I have to meet Btrathgate In the morning and beside that I can't leave the country now." “Captain Careysbrook is In a good deal of temper about the matter now. The orders were sent on to your house and followed you here. He should have gone two days ago and he's fuming like a caged Hon." “I can't help IL You'll have to go back and explain the circumstances to him and tell him if he can't wait until to-morrow morning, he'll have to sail without me." "But that's disobedience of orders," returned Miller. "Man," said Carrington hotly, "don’t you see this infernal scoundrel Strath­ gate ran away with my wife—” "With your wife!" exclaimed Miller. "Well, not exactly," replied Carring­ ton, “that is, they went away together. Oh, hang it! I’ve got to kill him and X have to find my wife if it costs me my commission. I can't go.

The United States government se­ cured Its first conviction of a railroad in Michigan under the federal safety appliance law. when a jury In the United States court at Bay City .found the Grand Trunk railroad guilty of having sent a car with a defective safety coupling over its leased C., S. & M. line from Durand to Bay City. The penalty is 1100 per car per day. One offense was alleged. ' Grand Trunk in­ spectors testified that they inspected the car in Durand and found nothing wrong with it, but the government inspectors found a link on the pinch chain broken. They informed the con­ ductor. and District Attorney Watson contended that the car should have been cut out of the train instead of being sent on to Bay City. The rail­ road showed that the coupling was re­ paired here the day following. Judge Swan ruled with The district attorney in his charge, but also held that if the railroad had exercised reasonable care in Inspection it was not liable, this be­ ing in contrast with the rulings of the supreme court in civil damage suits for personal Injury cases arising from defective safety appliances, in which it is held that railroads to secure Jhe benefits of the fellow-servant exemp­ tion law, must be absolute In Its in­ spection.

"It requires tact, energy, perseverance. It means hard work in school and still harder work out of it Five years ago when this school was started there were two of ua in the class. To-day I en­ rolled the forty-fourth new man. We have 40 men out working in the fields and there are a hundred men In our club at the present time. When this school was opened here the govern­ ment had 50.000,800 acres of forestry preserves from which foresters were excluded. Many states had the title of state forester, and forestry lands, but the titles and the land never got together. At present the government has 150,000,000 acres of lands in for­ est preserves in control of foresters, an enormous increase in five years." 1 • !i 9 Greek Hurt In Fight Kalamazoo.—Falling out over a dis­ pute as to the rights of the Greek set­ tlement to dictate to new Greeks com­ Ing to Kalamazoo, and the right of William Legan to operate a shoeshining parlor without proper permlsalon from the Greek settlement, Samuel' ~ Rusta is said to have used a pair of knuckles on John Nlchopolon and as a result the latter was in Bronson hospital with fractured skull.

' I Michigan May Pass Harvard. If the U. of.M. does not enroll other student this coming year the total number of students to be listed In the next catalogue would be 5,510, the largest in the history of the insti­ tution. But, while the general enroll­ ment of students was much heavier this year on account of the fine regu­ lation, there will be quite a number enroll later In the month and the sec­ ond semester will bring a large num­ ber. This makes it seem probable that Michigan's enrollment will sur­ pass that of Harvard’i, now the only university having, a higher attendance mark in the United States. While the present enrollment shows an Increase of 282 over a corresponding time last year the decided Increase in the 1908 summer school brings the figures well beyond those of last year, 5,010.

Later the Prairieville Press, with my approval, stated my views in relation to the office of prosecuting attorney, as fol­ lows:“II is his duty to assist In enforcing the laws and in seeing that infractions are prosecuted, and whoever Is elected to-the office should perform these duties or resign and get out. Tbe re­ sponsibility for the existence of a law rests with those who made it and not with the prosecuting attorney. He has no business to have any policy, and the question of policy should not enter into his conduct or be consider­ ed by him but he should enforce all the laws as they are written beeauae that is what he swears to do wlien he, takes Uie oath of office. If he don't want to-bo it lie ought not to accept tbe oflice and take tne oath/’ Substantially similar statements were made with my’ approval in tbe Nashville News and toe Freeport Herald and in my announcement in the Hastings Banner over my own signature. The verv resolution pass­ ed by toe Board of Supervisors upon which local option rests in Barry county was drafted by me and passed as prepared. My position was known liefore tbe primaries were held and it could have been rebuked by the Re­ publican voters of toe county at toe primaries had they not been satisfied withit I have seen nothing to change toe views expressed by me during the campaign for nomination. Wbetaen or not I am in favor of local option depends upon whether the law is enforced or not enforced. Tbe local option law if enforced is all right. If it is not enforced it will bring about a condition worse than would exist with open saloons. \ Local option was adopted in Barry County, and having beep adopted, so long as the law is in operation should be enforced in the same manner and to the same extent as other laws are enforced, including those relating to toe crimes mentioned in your letter, and I favor tbe enforcement of all these laws. . Complaint in criminal cases should be maue by those who know the facts. Tbe practice is prevalent of swearing to a state of facts when toe person swearing does not know whether they exist or not, find while in such cases if the complaints are sworn to in good faith toe element of felonious intent is lacking, necessary to make the perjury, still such conduct .ought not to be indulged inland met with eofir Jemnation from our court* in People vg. rjfffron, 53‘Mich., 530, where it is said: _ “The complaint must set up the facts constituting the .offence on the knowledge of tbe person making the complaint and if he does not know them, other witnesses must be examin­ ed who do know them, and no person can be arrested on the mere belief of the person making the complaint. The liberty of toe citizen is not to be held on so slender a tenure as that.” 1 have no hesitation in saying that 1 will make complaints in local option cam*. Bind other eases, should I be elected, if I know the facte, find no hesitation in saying that I would not make them in cases where it was necessary to swear that I knew a state of facts that I did not know anything about. If the law is violated and I have knowledge or information about it 1 wouldvdo in local option cases toe same as in cases of other violations, that is, give the matter that fair in­ vestigation to which it should be en­ titled and if proof eould be obtained sufficient to show probable cause for believing any one guilty of violating tod law, to make complaint or have it made, Ind cause their arrest and pros­ ecution. While it will be my duty in case I am elected to prosecute all violations of law, including tbe local option law, it will also be my duty to care for and firotecw tbe interests of those who are nnoccnt. . I have assumed to answer the in­ terrogatories which you propound in a manner which I submit to toe voters of Barry county for their considera­ tion. Tbe whole matter sums itself up in this: When anyone elected to the office of prosecuting attorney take­ toe oath of office he swears that he will discharge toe duties of that office in relation to al! criminal crmi which may come to him, and do mere state­ ment upon my part made during the campaign for election can add any­ thing in force or scope to the thing a man must swear to do before he en. tens upon the performance of his duties.

He joined the Methodist Protastant church shortly after hik conversion and has been a living pillar of the church for many years. He was a kind and loving father and friend, always giving the bestwf spiritual advice in,the home and abroad. He realized that a Chris­ tian life is made up of a number of small, things—little words, not eloauent speeches or sermons, little eods, not one great heroic act of martyrdom. He was always trying to scatter seeds of kindness and if every­ one to whom be did some kind and loving service were to lay one blos­ som on his grave Ke would rest be­ neath a wilderness of flowers. His constant desire was that his children would live a consistent Christian life. He leaves to mourn bis death a wife, his children, LeRoy, Charles, Lloyd, Bertha, Beulah and Bernice, seven grandchildren, three brothers, two sisters, an aged uncle and a host of friends. His faith was bright to tbe last and he was willing to go and sang a few words of that beautiful hymn, ‘ Other Refuge Have I None.” The record of a Christian life runs like ft- vine around the memory of our dead brotbflr and every dear unselfish SCI is DOW & pgrfy^ed flower. .

Dire .Peril—Envelope Forms Parachute and Fo/bea and Poet Escape Almost.Unhurt—Twen­ ty-Three Airships Start. him Or. KennedyJr Berlin, Oct. 72.—The international balloon race, which started Sunday from the suburb of Schmargondorf, was the occasion of a grilling acci dent, two American aeronauts having a miraculous escape from death. The American balloon Conqueror, the only American built craft In the contest, having on board A. Holland Forbes and Augustus Post, less than two min­ utes after the start, burst at an alti­ tude of 4.000 feet. For 2.000 feet it shot down like a bullet, and then the torn silk bag as­ sumed the shape of a parachute, and the rapidity of the descent wan checked. Coming close to the earth, however, the basket smashed into the roof of a house, but the two men es­ caped with but slight injuries. The race, in which 23 balloons par­ ticipated. representing Great Britain, France, Germany, the United Stales,. Switzerland, Italy, Belgium and Spain, started at three o'clock in the after­ noon In the presence of at least 80,000 spectators. Collapse of the Conqueror. The second batch of eight balloons was led by Forbes in the Conqueror, which was started with some difficulty, owing to a gusty wind and too much ballast But eventually it shot up and reached a high altitude In an Incred­ ibly short period, the basket swaying violently. Then almost instantly a cry of horror arose from the crowd, who saw the silk collapse, and shout­ ed: "The balloon Is ripping up.” Thousands who had gathered there stood for a moment petrified. Spine turned away, fainting as they saw the balloon failing with lightning-like rapidity. At the same time showers of sand and appurtenances of the bal­ loon shot downward with equal rapid­ ity and thou daylight was seen through the envelope, great ragged edges of the silk showing on either side.

U* Strang and Healthy All the blood in the . body passes through the kidneys once every three minutes. The'kidneys filter the blood. They work nigbt and day. When healthy they remove about GOO grains of impure matter daily, wh^n un­ healthy some part of this impure maVteris left in the'blood.

Capp's ready made clothing to his tailoring business and has the best line of clothing ever shown in Nash­ ville. Capp's clothing was formerly sold here by G. W.

Tbe entertainments are all of the very highest class, and are worth much more than the price asked. You get the five entertainments for one dollar, or at the rate of twenty cents each, and you owe it to yourself, your wife and your children, if you are so fortu­ nate as to have them, to see that they are provided with tickets.

There will be music by a mixed quartette, lots of enthusiasm for Taft, and all that sort of thing, and the meeting will probably last for an hour or more, with several difv ferent speakers.' This is an Eaton county trip', but Nashville Is so close to the line that they took us in,,so let’s give them a cordial welcome.

The Olivet college republican male quartette followed with a couple of songs. apd also received the approba­ tion of the audience. /Representative Schantz was the first speaker, said he 1ike<l Taft greatly, eulogized Governor Warner, and asked to be returned to the legislature. LI D. Dickinson, talked almut state issues, principally the binder twine plant.for the in­ stallation of which he said Governor Warner was almost wholly respon­ sible. saving the farmers of Michigan a big lot of jnoney and protecting them from the exorbitant prices of the truyt. Railroad Commissioner Glasgow was next on the program, but gave his time over .to Congress­ man Hamilton, who was in a happy vein and made one of his character­ istic speeches to which not a single person, no matter what his politics, could take exception. The people here, of all parties, are always glad to listen to Mr. Hamilton, for they all like him and have confidence in his honesty and ability. He is one of the workers of congress, and is appre­ ciated by bis colleagues at Washing­ ton as he is by his constituents at home. We doubt if a congressman in the whole country is more popular among the people he represents than , Ed. Hamilton is, and there is no ques­ tion but that he can stay in Washing­ ton from the fourth district just as long as he wants to. He was obliged to cut his speech short to catch the 9:12 train, and the meeting closed with another song by the male quar­ tette.

On Monday evening, November 2, the big fair will open its doors to the public. Thfcs will be something new tq Nashville, and is awakening an almost unprecedented interest. All of the club members and their- ladies are working hard to make the fair a success, and they request that all of the people of the village and vicinity turn out and. help them by their presence and their patronage. The admission price has been put at the low price of five cents, so as to bar nobody on account of price, and a handsome door prize will be given away each evening. All kinds of articles known to merchandise will be on sale, there will be fortune tellers, Japanese “girlA serving tea, Indians, all sorts of booths, selling hardware, furniture, clothing, dry goods, groceries, and all sorts of things. There will be music every evening and there will be pianos on sale at -les* price than you will ever buy them for again. As a people we work too hard and too constantly, and play too little. Let's take a week off now and see if it don’t do us all good. -We can get to­ gether and visit and have a good time, enjoy the new rooms of the club, and everybody be happy. PRETTY AUTUMN WEDDING.

After, congratulations, the guests were seated to an elegant two-course luncheon, E. V. Barker catering, with Max Purchiss, Claud Smith, Clayton Furniss, Earl Rothhaar and Clift Kleinhans as waiters.

A POST MARITAL ROMANCE Cyras TewBKtoi Brady ILLUSTRATIONS AT BAY WALTCM T torerv". it was almost morning when Ellen made a landing. The wind was ad­ verse for Portsmouth—which did not trouble herf for' she was quite anxious Finally Thsy Cams to a the Wall. not to appear In the streets of that town In which she was sure her bus­ band. Strathgate and Sir Charles would soon be assembled. She had formed no plan as to the future as yet She only wished to get ashore, to get something to eat and a place to lie concealed while she thought It over. The wind failed and it was not until daybreak, or about four o'clock, that Ellen ran ashore. It was a lonely spot, some miles to the eastward of Portsmouth. She aroused Deborah, who bad slept most of the night In the bottom of the boat, and the two tired women, aftew tying the boat to the shore, .plodded inland. At a little farmhouse—the farmer's wife being just arisen, apparently— they got some bread and milk which blunted the edge of their appetite—It must be remembered that they *had not eaten anything since t-he noon be­ fore—and from the woman they learned the lay of therland. They scrambled through by-paths for a long time and a little after six o’clock reached the main road. Be­ fore them rose the broken walls of a gentleman's Country. seat. The road was deserted at that hour. Ellen hardly knew what to do. She did not know how far It was to the next inn, nor was she certain, if she did know, that it would be a sa'e place for her to hide. Debbie, out of whom the spirit had been almost crushed by the ’“T of dazzling adventures through which she had passed, could offer no suggestiont of value. She clung to Ellen's arm a if the latter had been a man, and so far as help or assistance was concerned was a mere dead weight “One thing I tell you. Ellen,” she be­ Is, I can walk no farther. We must find some jffkee to rest" “Well, dear,” said Ellen, tired •nough herself, but a man beside poor Debbie, "let’s enter that park, per­ tag* we can find some one there among the servants who will help as wttbwt mMm too MV qwoUoM. j T»Oto doth., you hire on.

The park in which they found themselves had been badly neglected. A mile away, as openings through the trees gave them glimpses of it from time to time, they saw the chimneys and towers of a great house. Toward ft the two painfully made their way through the undergrowth, meeting no one In their progress. After half an hour's struggling, they came ' to an open piece of e"»ard. newly mowed it Wg| evident from the piles of grass that bad been raked away on the edges. On the opposite <?f It ft lltti* btPQk purled merrily ovej- sand and . pebbles. Thither the two women staggered, and kneeling down took long draughts of the sweetness and bathed their faces and hands in the cold water. They were thus engaged when they beard voices coming from the direc­ tion of the ball. Instantly Etlfen seized Deborah and ran back to the thicket whence they bad Just emerged and lay down en­ tirely concealed by the undergrowth, although able to see everything them­ selves that took place on the gpus. “Who is it, think yon?" whispered Debbie, after She had been forced down into a prone position. '“How should I know?" answered Ellen. "Well. If it looks like a gentleman.” continued Debbie, desperately. "I'm go­ ing to get up and. ask his assistance.” ."You’ll do no such thing.” said El­ len in a sharp whisper. "Be guided by me. I know men and the world as you don’t” Indeed, it would have been hard to choose between the Innocence of the matron and the maid, but' Ellen flat­ tered herself that her years and her marriage had made her wise.. "Let me decide what is to be done,” she added. "You’ve decided everything." said Debbie, resentfully, "and look what a position we're in." "Hash!" said Ellen. "Here they At the same Instant a man stepped into the clearing. Deborah opened her mouth as if to scream. Ellen caught her violently by the arm re­ peating her caution,. “It's Lord Strathgate!" murmured Deborah, amazed. “I see,” returned Ellen. "Now. will you be quiet?" wonder what he's here for?” whispered poor Deborah under her breath. CHAPTER XIX. Strathgate was followed by a small man, rather extravagantly dressed, who carried a couple of naked swords under his arm. The small man yawned prodigiously and appeared to be great­ ly bored by the situation in which he found himself, or by the early-hour at which he had been compelled to arise. Back of the two came another man of plainer aspect, with a keen, shrewd, business-like face. He .was dressed In a naval uniform of blue and white and carried a strange look­ ing. leather covered box. of which neither Ellen nor Deborah knew^what to make at first. . The man In uniform selected a con­ venient spot about the center of the sward, well in the shade of the trees, deposited his box, opened it, knelt down and busied himself over its con­ tents. which so far as the wbmen could make out consisted of bottles, bandages and shining Instruments of some sort. Lady Cecily would have known instantly what was about to occur, but It was some time before either Deborah or Ellen divined that they were to be the spectators to a duel. 1 wonder where they are?" the little man carrying the swords yawned out, looking vaguely about the clear­ in*. Strathgate pulled out his watch. ""Tis not yet the appointed hour.** CALUMET BAKING POWDER g fn™ Sa red worth.

Dr. Nevinson?” asked the earl. "Everything, my ford," replied the doctor, gravely. "I hope, however, that you gentlemen will give me little to do." Strathgate, laughed again. "If It depends on me, doctor, you’ll have nothing to do but certify to a death.” “I didn't mean It that way, my lord/' said the doctor, gravely. "But I dd/’ asserted Stratbgate, turning away. Every word of the conversation had b?en beard by Ellen and Deborah. The whole situation was now clean to j them both. This was to be a duel. Carrington and Strathgate were tQ meet. Strathgate's deadly purpose was evident from his grim remark to the surgeon. Ellen could not doubt but that Carrington shared the same ruthless feeling to the full. He was coming to battle about her. Her heart leaped at first at the thought and then contracted like a lump of ice at the possibility of disaster and death which lay before the man she loved. ' Her first impulse was to rise, dash into the clearing and denounce Strath­ gate. but a second thought assured her of the folly of that purpose. Those men were bent on fighting. They would only fight the harder and more fiercely if she Interfered. She would simply be removed from the scene of action and' the* duel would go on. The situation was an intolerable one whichever way she turned, what­ ever'she did. That she should lie quiet in a thicket and watch her hus­ band fight for his life was unbearable. That she should burst out and inter­ rupt them and then simply be removed and the battle be waged the more fiercely was also unendurable. Yet, she would have chosen the latter course had it not come across her mind like a flash of intuition, that her appearance at that juncture would probably greatly agitate her husband, and that his chance for life would be worse in that he would be less cool than Strathgate. She had sense enough to see that Strathgate would welcome her arrival, and how easily he could turn it 'to bls own advantage by' claiming, in spite of any protest she might make, that she was there by her own contrivance and at Strath­ gate's request. She dug her feet into the ground and locked her teeth in anguish. The sweat stood out on her brow.. But there was nothing to do but lie still and keep watch. It was Debbie who broke the silence by approaching her ear and whisper­ ing: ' "Lord Strathgate is going to fight a duel with Lord Carrington. Let us go out and stop it.” "We can't," answered Ellen. ” ’Tis Impossible.” "Are you going to lie here and watch them kill each other?" asked Deborah, to whom the situation did not present itself as it did to Ellen. "There's nothing else I can do," re­ turned Ellen. "Don't you see if they were here, they would simply take us away and continue the fight, and if we came out now, it would appear as if we had been with Lord Strathgate. It would unsettle Bernard so—" "Oh!" said Deborah, turning to look closely at her wretched comrade. What she saw moved her to 1;: stant pity. She drew closer to Ellen and reached her arm around the other’s neck. * "My poor girl!” she murmured, her softly. "Thero's only one thing we can do, Debbie,” whispered Ellen. • -What’s that?" "We can pray that no barm will come to my lord.” Her under Up trembled piteously as she buried her face In her hands. It was a strange prayer—what strange prayers we make In hours of distress! —■an appeal-to’God that one of the tiro nytn about to battle for life might be spared. There was no thought of the necessary inference from the prayer, and In Ellen’s distracted mind * did not even think to pray that duel Itself might be stopped, poured out her whole soul In guished petition that Carrington, whom she loved, might come to no hurt, and in that petition with less fervency, but with true Puritan seal, Debbie unhesitatingly Joined. What would Elder Brewster say, she thought, if be could see her now pray­ ing for one duelist, when both; in ac­ cordance with her iron creed, would be equally guilty ?• The course of- the prayers was broken by Blythedale's voice. "Here they come:” be cried, a note of relief and pleasure in bls speech. "Yonder.” ' ■ Ho pointed to a cawiago slowly mak­ ing Its way across the drive. "How will they know how to get here?" "I have stationed men who will fetch them." "The carriage has stopped. Tec, here thuy are.” (•Note—Think Elder Brewster died a century before this time.)

Can these things be truthfully spoken vt other friends man has about him? There Is a strong affinity between man and the dog; it must be the affinity of contrast. Yet any man will resent be­ ing called a dog. Possibly the dog would resent being called a man if bo understood—I do not know.

At a session of said court, held at the probate office, in the city of Hastings, In skid county, on the twenty-fourth day of September, A. D. 1908. Present: Hon. Cha*. M. Mack, Judge of Probate. In the matter of the estate of News Notes from Lansing Interesting Happenings at the State Capital of Michigan. Use Only Ink t» initial Ballots. Those who have anything to. do with elections generally, regret that the supreme court did not •'decide the im­ portant question submitted to It dur­ ing the recount proceedings, which was whether thb provision bf the elec­ tion law requiring that ballots shall be initialed in ink is mandatory or merely directory. The withdrawal oi the petitions for recounting the voces cast at the primary election rendered it unnecessary, for the purpose of set­ tling the governorship contest, to de­ cide the question, but the general election is coming on and the point having been raised, It is likely to be­ come the basis for election contests after the November election, as it is notorious that a large per cent of the inspectors pay no attention to the law but use lead pencils In marking ballots with their initials. It Is re­ ported that the court was divided on th« question, but that a majority of the justices had agreed that the law Is mandatory and that all ballots must be Initialed in ink.

Wade of the University of Michigan have reched an. agreement for the adjustment of the claims of the attorney general growing out of the alleged Inability of Wade to account for certain tends which had been under his control as university secretary. The agreement is subject to the'approval of the re­ gents and the terms are ' not made public. “Out of courtesy to the board of regents," said Mr. Bird. “Mr. Wade, hls attorney and myself have decided not to niake the terms of adjustment agreed upon between us public, until acted upon by. the board of regents. If the regents approve of the terms of'the adjustment, and choose to make the amount public, I am willing." There seems to be a feeling of relief that the affair has come so nearly to an end. It has dragged on since May and even before that date when it came to the public eye there was a feeling of uneasiness, for it was know? that the attorney ’s investiga­ —- ---------.orney -general ----- --------------tions were implicating men high te the affairs of the university. State Employes Hold on to Cash; Politlcal assessments have been lev­ ied In a few pf the departments Ip the state capltol. The usual 2 per cent, has been collected wherever the as­ sessments are made. A clerk receiv­ ing >1,000 a year gives up >20 and those with higher salaries a sum in proportion. Assessments are being paid more reluctantly than , usual, and no levy has been made in the auditor general’s and .several other depart­ ments. Some of the heads of depart­ ments In the state capltol have ob­ jected to the payment of a 2 per cent assessment for political purposes, and at a conference it was decided that the employes in some of the depart­ ments would be asked to pay only 1 per cent of their salaries. Supt. Ben­ nett of the capital building recently collected an assessment of 2 per cent from the janjtors and other employes under his supervision, who receive the smallest salaries-of any state house employes. Jumps to Death; Road Liable? Whether a railroad company can be held responsible for damages If an em­ ploye meets death in a jump to escape the consequences of a collision is the interesting question to be tried out in the suit of Mrs. Flora Melllsh of Saginaw against the Pere Marquette, in the Bay City circuit court. The case will be carried to the supreme court. Mrs. Melllsh's husband was an engineer on the Pere Marquette, LudIngton division and was killed at Baldwin. Mich. It is alleged the yards there are subject, because of the way * they are laid out along buildings, to air currents that keep the smoke down. Melllsh could not see another engine approaching h's train on the same track because of thick clouds of smoke. It is alleged. When too near to a collision to avoid It, he jumped from his cab. struck a pile of Ice and snow, slipped and went under the wheels to instant death. Mrs. Melllsh sues for >10,000. Ask State for *50,000. At a meeting of the state board of charities and corrections the Michigan asylum officiate asked for an appro­ priation from the next Resalon of the state legislature of 150,000. An addi­ tions Iward for women, lavatory and morgue, enlargement of the bakery and barn and a water softening plant are some of the things t£at the appro­ priation covers. Ionia Armory Contract Let. The state military board has award­ ed the contract for building a new state armory at Ionia to Wright & Prall of that city. The city raised >10,000 for the building, but as a por­ tion of the sum was paid for a site, It was found necessary to bond the city for >3,500. The state pays >10,000 toward the cost of the building.

Hundreds of acres north, west and south of Du Quoin have been swept clear of all vegetatioe. Many farmers saved their crops by digging furrows around their fields. Known Dead Are Twenty-Six. Alpena, Mich., Oct. 19.—Reports from the flame-swepc counties In this section of the state indicate improve­ ment in the fire situation.

Martin’s Lightning Proof, Better than Insurance Lightning Rods J There is all the difference in the world in lightning rods. Some are an absolute protection, others amount to practically nothing at all. If a man wants to protect his buildings he should use the best rod. The manufacturer who makes the best rod gives you a guarantee with it. The man who make* a cheap rod, which he himself has no faith in, will not give you a guarantee. I put up the Martin guaranteed rod at 15 cents per foot. If your building I* struck by lightning and burned after being equipped with the Martin guar­ anteed rods, you get *500 in cash. The fact that the manufacturers make thl* guarantee shows that they knew that their rod is an absolute protection against fire by lightning. Now isn't it foolish] in order to save a few dollar* in rodding your building, to use a rod which neither the man who makes it nor the man who sells it has confidence in? If you want that kind of a rod, I will put up the ordinary copper rod at 10 cents per foot or I will sefi you th* steel wire rod at 2 cents per foot, but I would much rather equip your build­ ings with the Martin guaranteed rod. which I knew will protect them, and on which you get a >500 cash guarantee that your buildings are absolutely protected. Under any circumstances, do not allow anybody to put lightning rods on your building until you have seen me. You are invited to call and see this system demon­ strated. It is positively the only practical and safe system. C. J. Scheldt �FOR COUNTY CLERK. Do You Know the Meaning of “HERMANWILE?” Well Qualified.

A Man Who Wonld Well Represent Barry County In tha Legislature. It is a pretty hard row to hoe for a democrat to be elected to the legis­ lature from Barry county; for the natural republican majority of the county is a tough proposition to go up against. But Mr. Glasner has been going up against tough propo­ sitions all of his life, and he has usually gotten away with the goods, too. He is a worker and a hustler, and you don't need to fall dead in your tracks from the surprise if he should have business over.at Lansing this winter. He is going after it, anyway, and if he is not elected it won’t be because he "laid down.” for he won’t do that until the votes are­ al! cast and counted. He is a busi­ ness man and a good -one. He is an educated man and a thinker. He is a student bf conditions and theories, and he don't often get far off the right track. He is honest as the day is long, and everybody whoever had anything to do with him knows it. He stands for strict economy in state affairs, for an efficient law, for the best interests of the people of the state as a whole and not for a select few. for an honest and upright admini­ stration of the state's business. If elected, he will give his very best thought and endeavor to the honest fulfillment of his duties as a represent­ ative of the people of Barry county. COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS.

' from Tokyo, OcL 20.—The reception ac­ corded the American Atlantic fleet by the government and people of Japan is conceded by the American naval of­ ficers to be the heartiest and most per­ fectly carried out of the many recep­ tions received by the fleet since it sailed from Hampton Roads. Rear Admiral Sperry said Monday that he was utterly unable to say how it'had been accomplished, but that the welcome, given toe fleet and it* offi­ cers and men here has been so care­ fully planned and carried out to the most minute detail that a lasting Im­ pression has been stamped upon the mind of every American who has wit­ nessed IL The men of the American and Jap­ anese fleets are fraternizing every­ where in Tokyo and Yokohama. Every wish of the American sailors is antici­ pated, and each blue jacket finds an English-speaking guide among the Jap­ anese sailors. ' Japanese Certainly Sincere. The American uniform is the “open sesame" everywhere,/he cordiality of the Japanese extending to the inhab­ itants of the most remote villages. It is impossible to-doubt the sincerity of the Japanese. The American offi­ cers and sailors are already begin­ ning to understand the fact that'the evident desire on the part of the Jap­ anese for the friendship of America is not founded upon opportunism, but finds Its source in a sincere wish to show that such friendship, at least in part of the Japanese, has existed al­ ways. and that this visit of the fleet has merely afforded the Japanese an opportunity for the expression of that feeling. There can be no doubt that the sim­ ultaneous visits of the American ex­ position commissioners, the Pacific coast business men and the Atlantic fleet are a part of an organized plan of the Japanese to finally wipe out all misunderstanding between Japan and America and to give toe visiting Amer­ icans an insight’ into the real attitude of Japan toward the United States. Emperor Receives Sperry. Early Tuesday morning Admiral Sperry was received at the imperial palace and on the morning of Wednes­ day the admirals and captains of the fleet will be the guests of the em­ peror at the palace. Admiral Sperry conveyed to the femperor a message from President Roosevelt. This mes­ sage breathed a spirit of friendship and sympathy and expressed keen ap­ preciation of the traditional friendship between the two nations and an earn­ est wish for the strengthening and continuance of the friendly relations of the past. Three thousand sailors from the American fleet are granted shore lib­ erty dally, and it Is remarkable that, notwithstanding their long confine­ ment aboard ship, not a single diffi­ culty has been reported; bearing out this statement of Admiral Sperry made In one of his speeches here, that the American sailor of to-day is the result of that development and education which Japan is seeking in every' department of her national life. Americans throughout Japan are en­ thusiastic regarding the visit of the fleet and the cordiality of the recep­ tion accorded their fellow countrymen. GREAT CATHEDRAL IS STARTED. SL Louis Catholics Lay Corner-Stone of >2,000,000 Edifice. St. Louis. Oct 19.—An era of ex­ tensive church building In St. Louis, culminated Sunday in the laying of the corner-stone of the new Catholic cathedral, which when completed will cost over >2.000.000. The cathedral ceremonies brought to the city an assemblage of church dignitaries from many parts of the nation and were witnessed by an im­ mense concourse of people, who blocked the streets leading to the cathedral site at Maryland and Newstead avenues, and made them impass­ able for the parade that was a striking feature of the day. Archbishop Falconio, the papal delegate, presided at the corner-stone ceremonies. James M.

When this tube is inflamed you have a rum­ bling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, Deafness is the result, and unless the inflamma­ tion can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever: nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but an .in­ flamed condition of the mucous sur­ faces.

The state held that cereals and water used in sau­ sage were an adulteration, which.con­ tention the company denied, claiming It was necessary to use th«m to per­ fect the product The court says that sausage means meat and that cereals and water are adulterants, added with an evident Intent to cheat. He said that If sold as pure food product the act perpetrates a fraud, violates the law and would soon drive honest deal­ ers out of the market. Morgan & Co. Give $1,000. It was announced that J.

Seme are an absolute protection, others amount to practically nothing at all. If a man wants to protect his buildings he should use the best rod. The. manufacturer who makes the best rod gives you a guarantee with it. The man who makes a cheap rod, which he himself has no faith in, will not give you a guarantee. I put up the Martin guaranteed rod.nt 15 cents per foot If your building la struck by lightning and burned after being equipped with the Martin guar­ anteed rods, you get $500 in cash. The fact that the manufacturers make thia guarantee shows that they know that their rod is an absolute protection against fire by lightning. Now isn’t it foolish, in order to save a few dollars in rodding your building, to use a rod which neither the man who makes it nor the man who sells ft has confidence in? If you want that kind of a rod, I will put up tbe ordinary copper rod at 10 cents per foot or I will sell you ths steel wire rod at 2 cents per foot, but I would much rather equip your build­ ings with the Martin guaranteed rod, which I knew will protect them, and on which you get a $500 cash gaaraatee that your buildings are absolutely protected. Under any circumstances, do not allow anybody to put lightning rods on your building until you have seen me. You ue invited to call and see this system demon­ strated. It is positively the only practical and safe system. C< J. Scheldt �of Clerk. a resident vor that he held tbe date for cuunty him and we kno mtn for that ph Guaranteed Clothing?

He has a reputa­ tion for honesty and integrity and the fact that die people of nis township ■ have supported him-so loyally should show the people of the county at large that he is a safe man to entrust the duties of the office with and we will say that if he is elected we will have no cause to regret it. ’ Chas. M. Mack, who is a candidate for re-election to the office of judge of probate, is known by nearly every­ one in Barry county, and of all this wide acquaintance, no 'one can say that he has not made a good man for the office. He was elected to the office fonr years ago by the largest major­ ity this county ever gave to a county officer and as we see that the county made no mistake in that action, he' will probably receive an even larger vote this coming election. He has had the experience and has shown that he is a competent, care­ ful. painstaking official. The office which he has held is a most important position, as its duties and responsi­ bilities require a great deal oL the* Incumbent, but he has always been aual to the demands of theplace. In I the settlement of estates, of which he has had a very large number, he has always been found to perform the duties with the best of satisfaction to all, as it is always in a way free from self-interest or bias. Therefore, we can clearlv gee that Judge Mack has performed the duties of hls position to the entire satisfac­ tion of the people of Barry county and they will take pleasure in seeing -----­ that he is re-electea. Mr. Thorpe was born at Lakeport, Michigan, on July 12, 1873. At the age of eight years ho canto with his parents to Prairieville, Barry county, and liking the country and the people he decided to stay. In March, 1888, his parents removed to Richland, Kalamazoo county, but’Roy, as he is known to all of his friends, remained in Barry county lo teach his first term of school, and then entered the high school at Richland, from which 'he was graduated two years later. He then taught school, clerked in a store and worked two seasons for the Deer­ ing.

CLOAKS We have decided to have our annual FALL CLOAK SALE Tuesday, Nov. 3rd. at which time we will show the grand est array of Cloaks ever shown in Nashville KOCHER BROS CHARLES F. COCK. Republican Candidate for County There will be no new face in the office of county treasurer fdr the coming term. It will be the same face that you have seen there for the past two years, with the same whiskers all over it, and the expansive smile gleaming through. It will be the well known face of Charles F. Cook, who for the past term has too ably and well filled the office of county treasurer that the people don’t want a change. They want him to stay right there, and he will. Mr.' Cock is a resident of Hope town­ ship, butthatought not to be allowed to militate against him. Hope township is some sand and some hills and things like that, we admit, but they ought to have credit for turning out some pretty good people down there, just the same, and when they ’ring up one of the right kind for county office he should be entitled to just as much considera­ tion as though he came from some part of the county where they raise crops. Castleton and Hope, while not near neighbors, have always been good friends politically and in every way. We gave Mr. Cock a nice ma­ jority two years ago, and we will give him a still bigger one this year. Other townships in this part of the county will do the same thing, and we have no reason to doubt that the same thing will be true all over the county, returning a good man to the treasurers office for a second term.

Furthermore, anyone who knows Will Potter, and nearly everybody in Barry county does, knows that he will see that the laws are lived up to. He will not need to have any person urge him on to do his duty. He will know what his duty is, and be will do it. without fear or favor. He is a lawyer of whom any county in the state might well be proud. He has never yet lost a case through not knowing the law. He is undoubtedly as well posted on the law as any lawyer of hls age in the slate. He is qualified in every way for tbe position of prosecuting attorney and if elected he will fill the place in a manner that will satisfy and please every good citizen of the county. We have known Will Potter for a good many years and we know him to be a lawyer of ability, of integrity and of exceptional force of character. He has the necessary tact to handle trivial matters without making un­ necessary expense to the county, but he can be depended upon in all mat­ ters that come to him in his official ca­ pacity to do his full duty by the people of the county. There will be no “monkeying” with the local op­ tion law or any other law on the statute books while Will Potter is prosecuting attorney, because all of the people of the county know that what he says be will do, he will do. He will enforce the laws to the very bestof his ability, and his ability is second to that of no lawyer in Barry county. Will Potter is a Maple Grove boy, born in that township, got his educa! tion in the district schools of that ' township and in the high school of this village, and has made his own 1 way in the world by hard work, un­ tiring study and constant appplication to his profession. He should and undoubtedly will have tbe gener­ ous support of the voters in tbe eaet- ' ■iii.g CLOTHES MONEY lage of today. ’ An instrumental selection by Mrs. Marble was followed by a reading, “Hannah Jane”, by Mrs. Everu, both of whioh were much enjoyed.

Blythedale and Park ham stood staring as if their eyes would be strained. from their beads. Their breaths came shorter and shorter. Even the cool, phlegmatic doctor came forward and stood gating. Ellen «pd Deborah had long since passed the stage of expression. They lay Scarce­ ly breathing, their eyes following as they could every movement of the straining men, of the flashing swortf. There was no advantage for- either of the combaunts yet; save that thrust of Strathgate's, that is, nd out­ ward advantage; but Strathgate was beginning to pav -the penalty of his life and of his desperate endeavors in the commencement of the attack. His. breath came shorter, the sweat stood thick upon his brow. Carrington grew cooler after the first flush of passion consequent upon his slight wound. His strength grew greater. He pressed Btrathgate harder. But the earl was hot yet done. Nerving himself, sumnsoning all his resolution to Ms aid, Isa series of-brilliant onslaughts he fair for which,, if It should be much more prolonged,, he knew his strength would be unequal. • • Rut Carrington met him with a wrist of. steel and a blade quicker than the light itself. How it was done, no one could see, but after a series of rapid thrusts and disengagements, the spectators saw Strathgate suddenly throw up bis-arnu. Hls blade fell wavering to the ground. Those who stared saw two feet of bloody steel thrusting out from hls back. Carring­ ton bad seised an opportunity and had lunged with such force and power and directness that the quillons of the Mlt of Ms rapier had actually struck the breast of Strathgate as he ran him through the right shoulder over hls guard. The thrust just grated the lung. Carrington strove to withdraw his weapon, succeeded-partially, when 'Strathgate collapsed uttterly " and crashed to the ground, snapping off the projecting end of the blade behind his back as - be fell upon it He strove horribly for a moment to rise sod then settled back biting his lips to stifle a groan of agony. Car­ rington stood over him with hand up­ raised. Which had the whiter fapo It would be hard to say. “Strathgate!” cried my lord, bend­ ing over him. "Carrington," murmured Strathgate In Ms agony, fairly wrenching the words from his Ups, “you're a damned tool. The woman loves you—not— He stopped. By this time Blythedale and the doc­ tor were by Strathgate's side. Park­ man also woke to action. He ran to Carrington's side and drew him “A damned fool!" cried my lord, hoarsely, “ay, that I’ve been.” Parkman said nothing.

"Ten your principal to make ready at once,” he continued, “or I shall feel justified in cutting him down.”. "This can go no further, gentlemen,*' now interposed the naval offlcer who had come with Seton. "And what business Is it of youra, MeLear?” cried my lord, laying his hand on his sword hilt and quite des­ perate at the situation in wMch he found himself. “I take it that you have no interest in this quarrel unless it is to perform a friend's office for Sir Charles Seton with whom you my mind without any apology. "No apologies," cried Sir Charles, "are adequate to such a situation.*' "1 suppose not," returned my lord, । ‘Tve just done for Strathgate yonder, perhaps fate’ll get even by giving you a chance at me.

It's true, Charles. Drive on, MeLear.” be said; sinking back in the cushions and turning his face away. The two carriages rolled out of the park rapidly leaving Seton staring in amazement at the remarkable and contradictory remarks of his former friend. When he recovered his equanimity in some measure at least, the baronet turned and walked toward the two still busied about Strathgate. Hls situation was so critical and there was bo much to do that they had paid no attention whatsoever to the exciting incident which had just taken place within earshot Lord Blythedale looked up as Sir Charles approached. .

FLAVOR SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST WHEN GORDON ACTED ON IMPULSE Gordon turned the matter over sev­ eral times in h!s mind, and each time he did so he became stronger in the conviction that he had arrived at -a proper solution of it His idea was that people too often neglected to act upon impulse. This was the line of his reasoning: "What we call impulsejs in reality instinct. Our instincts are generally good. The things we do by instinct seldom get us into trouble. More of­ ten they get us out of difficulties and bring us happiness. 1 am going to start out to-day with the intention of obeying my Impulses. If I happen to have an impulse I am going to fol­ low it up. People who stop to dis­ sect their feelings or their impulses before they act seldom do anything When the cold light of reason is turned upon an impulse the impulse withers and dies. Consequently there is inaction. The happiness that comes of inaction can only be negative In its character. The happiness that is the outgrowth of action is positive. For one day at least I am going to act upon my impulses.” Having arrived at this philosophi­ cal conclusion, Roscoe Conkliug Gor­ don crawled out of bed and put go his clothes. As he was fastening hls tie he had an impulse. It directed him to remove hls clothes and take a cool, refreshing bath. By obeying this impulse he was 20 minutes late getting down to breakfast. Still, he reflected, this was not the fault of the impulse. The bath was a good thing and made him feql much more like doing a day's work than ho would have felt without 1L The fault was hls own in not having had the impulse when he ought to have had IL A new girl came to wait on him when he had seated himself at the table.

Every fall, at'or before the time for the young stock to go into winter want only strong, vigoro'sK, healthy birds for future breeder^ or layers. Any birds other than thei^^ot only will not make the best and most pro­ lific layers, but are unfit for parent stock. I know a man who is noted the world over for the excellencq of hla stock, writes q correspondent of Gar­ dening. He keeps but one breed. He is a fancier, pure and simple, but tiia stock, is strong aid rigorous, and its excellence from the fanciers' stand­ point is borne out by hls practically sweeping the boards on prises wherever he exhibits! He has raised th|s breed for many years, and is, at lift* top In it Of course, he knows how to mate, and how to handle the birds in every detail, but I believe one im­ portant point in Ms success is the fact that he will 'not tolerate a chick on the place that Is not strong and vig­ orous. When first hatched, every weakly one has its neck pinched, and any that develop serious weakness are at once put out of the way. On cull­ ing closely, we find many, at the open­ ing of winter, that are not up to the mark, and go into the fattening pen for a time, where a tew weeks* stuffing makes them into excellent foundation stock for cMcken pie. This same fate should be meted out to the surplus crowers. Half the farmers keep too many males. Not only are they a nui­ sance, but In such numbers as I have seen them on many farms are a posi­ tive detriment to the layers. Can you afford the loss? The Good Scrub.

A mistaken idea seems to have got­ ten out that the Nashville Club is an exclusive organization and that in­ vitations are issued for new members. Such is not and never has-been the case. The club will welcome as a member any respectable and reputable citizen of the village. Tbe club is democratic in the extreme, not -in politics, for it is not a political organ­ ization, but democratic in practice and principles. It aims to be a factor .in the unbuilding and welfare of the town, and to be a place where members of different parties, ol different churches, of different lodges, of different stations in life, may meet upon common ground, for social en­ joyment. The rooms of the club are open every Thursday afternoon for the exclusive use of the ladies, and when they get into their new building,* where they will have better accomoda­ tions, they, hope to see the ladle# avail themselves of the opportunity so free­ ly extended to gather there and make themselves entirely at home. If you are not a member of the club, don’t wait for some one to solicit your ap­ plication. If you desire to join, hand your application to any member of the club, or to'A. E. Kidder, tbe secretary. The club hopes to increase its membership to one hundred or more by the time they get into their new home. Don’t wait for a written invitation, but if you think you would enjoy the privileges of the club, hand in your application. TRAINING THE COLT. Matters Which Are of Prims porta nee. Im In the first place teach the col' that you are bis superior. This can b« done much easier when the youngslei is small. Put on a soft, properly fit ting halter; get him thoroughly user to this, but in doing this do not tie ur to something solid and leave, other wise you may return and find your coll has committed suicide by eithei breaking his neck or choking him self, but lead It quietly around the stall or yard beside Its mother, and it will only be a short time before the youngster will understand what you want when you pull on his haltei shank and is nicely, broken to lead; teach him that you will not hurt him, but that it is useless fdr him to try to get away. This is a greatsage of education As it is with people, so It Is with live stock; tbe early education Is the most impressive and lasting, therefore, since the horse is tbe servant of man, be must be trained In order to be a valuable servant. .In training a colt It Is necessary to ''get on friendly terms, as loud or unkind treatment tends to drive the colt in a direction opposite to that you would have him go and make him do things just the opposite from what you want. Every animal has more or less ob stlnacy Ln its nature. Get hold of a cat’s tail and her first Idea is to pul) away, or try to lead a calf it will brace itself and offer all tbe resistance in its power; the young colt will do the same thing if gone at in the same way. As a colt reaches maturity its strength Increases very rapidly, and if a horse is to. become a good work horse this obstinate nature must be more or less overcome. . There is do more objectionable habit that a horse can have than to be a halter breaker, or to be ready to offei resistance every time anything out ol the ordinary comes up, says Indiana Farmer. If anyone should doubt this let him undertake to break a fiveyear-old ranch horse that never knew what submission was, and the lesson will be very thoroughly impressed; it is only in very exceptional cases that such horses are ever Woken, so that they can be depended upon. I do not advocate making a pet of a colt, and would advise the reader to never do It, tor like a spoiled child they are al wavs on too familiar terms, and very often get into objectionable habits that are not easy to break. Teach the colt to understand your language; teach him to stop at the single word -Whoa.'' Always speak the word plainly and at the same time snub the colt short and be will soon connect the word and the event, and stop when the word is given. Follow the same plan in teaching him to stand over in the stall, or go forward or backward on command. In doing this use the whip sparingly, but be sure that you ishmeut will often bad tens* with its frequently fruitful habits. Which often When Mon*ieu> Pau) Eugene LeroyLedeaux, chevalier of the order of the If so, Buy it NOW mous, most persistent duelist La Paris Informed Arthur Dunlap that the Gal­ lic honor of tbe former was outrag eously touched, and that only the night of the American gentleman's blood could at all appease him, it was It was all a foolish, airy trifle about a lady—about a little blonde lady of the daintiest charm, ft Is true; but still it was the merest nothing, and Mr. Dunlap was vary busy just then turning little, green certificates of stock into good hard money. Mr. Dunlap, who knew the lady very well, had winked at her in the course of a funny story at the box party; and Monsieur Paul had jumped to hi* feet and there had been a flung glove and the boiling of bluest Latin blood. Monsieur Paul repaired to his apartments at the Durham and made ready hie shining instruments of car­ nage. There was just room on the rapier's slim jioint for the Insolent Yankee's red blood, mused mon­ sieur; and. If the American chose pistols, monsieur bad a pair that glia tened like brass in the sunlight. Arthur Dunlap, after he had figured out the deal in Dubuque & Northern, partook of a sizzling drink or so, and proceeded to devise the matter of weapons and things, for he was the challenged party. The devising was finished jnst as the brass-aatyr clock on the mantel jingled two o'clock in the warm, dark morning, and at this time Mr. Dunlap clambered into bed with a smile of content—this was the sizzling drinks, no doubt. This was the fashion of the com­ bat ef honor outraged, as borne by the representatives of Mr. Dunlap to’the fiery Frenchman at the Durham next morning; The principals were to seat themselves on stools, side by side, tn the pitch dark convention room at the Durham. The flip of a coin* by the seconds Should decide which of the combatants should depart from tbe great room, leaving his rival in the still dark, black chamber. The loser, seated on the stool, should press one of two buttons, releasing one of two doors at the end of tbe hall. Behind one of the doors would lurk the little blonde lady of the boisterous box party; behind the other—grim, white old Boxer, the polar bear of the zoo­ logical gardens. Tn the matter of whether the lady or the bear should come forth to embrace The man on the stool in the dark, the great god Chance should say. You know where Mr. Dunlap got the conceit; bls rival did not To the terms of this duel Monsieur .Paul made most voluble, shrug-shoul­ dered Latin objection. "Eet ees rideeklous—I will not haff eet so—zee idea—zee deesgrace,” he chattered, but the seconds fcere in­ exorable, and Monsieur Paul was obliged to submit When the hour for the duel arrived the combatants' took their places on the stools in the big, empty room and the lights were switched off. There was a mumbling in the small ante­ room, and voices of the seconds were heard announcing: "Heads win. Mr. Dunlap wilt leave the room. Monsieur Paul will remain seated and press thg button.” There was the sound of a man de­ scending from a stool and his quick stride across the floor until Mr. Dun­ lap Joined the party in the anteroom —then silence and darkness in the as­ sembly room of the Hotel Durham. The scraping of the Frenchman for the button on the stool was heard, and then the swinging of a door at the end of the gloomy hall. Something stenped out upon the bare floor and there came the noise of a body shuf­ fling its way up the hall toward Mon­ sieur Paul on the stool. A sweet, baf­ fling smell—say of a garden in old Araby—became evident, and then— "Mademoiselle!” the Frenchman shrieked in the darkness, “are you The great hall flai ed up in a second, and there stood revealed the Immense, shaggy form of an Arctic bear in the act of embracing a pale, perspiring dnndy—a dandy who toppled the next second in a swoon to the floor, while tbe only bear that ever laughed and wafted old world perfume walked away on the shoulder of her fiance, Arthur Dunlap, XI.

President Castro has refused to revoke this decre, but as yet, so far as la known here the Netherlands government ha* not decided upon definite action. There has been much activity here, but in an Interview Sunday the gov­ t ernor of Curacao said that Holland ought to have assurances that Vene­ zuela had not revoked the decree at the last hour of tbe day fixed accord­ ing to the ultimatum before taking any active measures. He believed that bis government had made ample prepj stations for any eventuality. The opinion is held among naval officers here that co direct step* will be taken within a week.

Nicho­ las Rolando, who previously had been charged with leading a revolutionary movement in Venezuela, was crossing the frontier with 20,000 men from Cucuta, Colombia. No further account of this movement could be learned be­ cause mall and telegraphic communi­ cations- with Cucuta were suspended fte following day. Large shipments of powder and shells have been received at Fort San Carlos on Maracaibo lake, and there is much activity around the frontier. At Willemstad a wireless system has been established so that uninterrupted service can now be secured.

DEVICE FOR BERRY GROWERS. Cutting Off the Runner* Made Ea*y for the Worker. The problem of dlsposlnj^of the sur­ plus runners is always a perplexing one to the straw­ berry grower. Too commonly tbe runners are al­ lowed to run and form a dense mat at their own sweet will. Plac­ ing runners is no easy job, as everyone must admit who has tried that back­ breaking labor. Yet it I* demon­ strated every year in every planta­ tion that It is the only method of raising uniformly large and bright­ ly colored berries Wherever a spot Is found where from some cause the plants are thin on the ground, It is there the best berries are always found. Many plans of placing or spacing runners have been tried, and nearly every grower has hls own distinctive way. which he varies from time to time when be thinks he ha* discovered something better. It really does not matter so much what arrangement of the run­ ners is made, provided they are given plenty of room. Next to spacing them is tbe labor of cutting off the surplus ones that are not needed. An earlyset, vigorous plant will send out a mul­ titude of runners during the growing season and keep it up till freezing weather has stopped growth. Pinch­ ing or cutting them off with a knife or scissors is Blow work and requires constant stooping, which is relished neither by old nor young. This work may be lightened as follows: Take a worn-out hoe. says Orange Judd Farmer, and have the blacksmith straighten the blade on a line with the shank. You can have it any width the.hoe will admit For cutting around single plants a narrow blade is best; for narrowing In the,side of a row the wider the blade the better. For nar­ rowing the row an ordinary plow counter may be used. It may be fas­ tened to the cultivator or it may be attached to handles, whetted sharp and trundled along by hand. After the raspberries and -black­ berries are through bearing is the be«t time to cut out the old cane*. An­ other uhnplo instrument Is also made oat of an old hoe for this work, only In this case the hoe blade I* turned in a sickle shape, so as to catch firmly around the cane. This allow* the man to do all the cutting while standing erect Hls left hand should be pro­ vided with a strong glove to hold the canes and pull them ouL The illustra­ tion shows how the cutter looks when completed.

FARM WATER SUPPLY. Purity of th* Source I* of Prime Importance. Too many wells are sunk In the low­ est places around the farm home and barns. I visited more than a dozen different farm homes last week, write* a correspondent of Indiana Farmer, and with 'one exception, every well was located where surface drainage was sure to get Into IL In some places one well supplied both household needs and the live stock. These wells were located where they were most convenient for the stock. That Is a mighty poor arrangement If one well must furnish the entire water supply, sink it whore there is no possible chance for seepage or surface pollu­ tion. Place it as near the house as possible, and then pipe the stock sup ply to a tank In the yard. It’* a nnl sance to have a tank within 30 or 40 feet of the house. It is Just as con­ venient to have it a hundred yards away. It is necessary to have plenty of water during these hot months, but be sure that It is pure. FARM NOTES.

One of the most monotonous, tire­ some and unpleasant jobs connected with large-scale comb-boney prodsotlon is the anaoal cleaning of a vast number of bee-gummed separators. In many localities the separator must be thoroughly cleaned'every year or else the necessary fixtures cannot be crowd­ ed into a super. Another result, but not at all a bad one, is that tbe sec­ tions will bold more honey, aa the propolis acts much like cleats on tbe beparator. For thia reason some bee­ keepers seldom clean their separators; but when they do, then they have a job of no small proportions. As no rapid and satisfactory method of clean­ ing separators has ever been given to the bee-keeping public, I will describe a method of my own invention—a Method of Cleaning .Separators. method far more rapid than any that hu been used In the past, and it re­ sults in separators just as gtxxl as new. if you wish them so. ,.

"VtCTORlCN SARDOU DIES AT THE ’ AGE OP 77 YEARS AFTER Faria, Nov. 9.—Victorina Sardou. . who had been ill for a .Jong time, died Bunday from . pulmonary congestion. Ho was the dean of French dramatists and a member of the French Academy. The man whose first play wea hissed ■ Od who then wanted to go to Ameri­ ca to seek hit fortune, died rich and ’ Booored, with the proud title of France’s greatest and most prolific •ontemporary dramatist. Victorian Sardou was a man pos­ sessed of'singular charm and was greatly beloved, and there is universal regret that he left no memoirs. He was born in Paris. September 7. 1831. the son of Leandre Sardou. an edu­ cationalist and compiler of several publioatlons. At first he studied medi­ cine. but was obliged. In consequence of the embarrassment of his family 'll* give private lessons in history, phll<**opby and mathematics. He also made attempts in literature, writing articles for several reviews and for the minor journals. His First Play a Failure. His first comedy, "La Taverne des .tttudlants,” was produced In 1864 in Jthe Odeon, then the second state thea‘<*r, but ft proved a complete failure. then wrote the comedy, "Les Fatten de Mouche,” which was pro­ duced with great success tn 1880, and sabaequently adapted for the English •tags under the title of “A Scrap of Faper." .At the age of 75 Sardou witnessed the production of his latest drama. ”L’Affaire des Poisons," srt the Porte BL Martin theater. This play, which 'has to do with the infamous poisoning camarilla which existed under the reign of Louis XIV., and which wa« presented for the first time on Decem­ ber 7 last, is still running to crowded bouses. Married Hlo Benefactress. In the year 1857 M. Sardou was in a state of abject poverty and extreme 1 distress. He was living in a garret 1 and was prostrated by typhoid fever, but a neighbor. Mlle, de Brecourt. , nursed him with tender care during hia illness, from which he slowly re­ covered. He married her In the fol­ lowing year and was by her intro duced.to Mlle, de Jaxet, who had just established the theater which was named after her. M. Sardou’s earlier pieces, after his first failure, were per­ formed at this theater. Nine years after his marriage M. Sardou was in possession of. a handsome fortune and a European renown, when a gloom was temporarily cast over his career by the death of his wife. < Almost eyery land knows the stage heroes and heroines born out of Bardon's resourceful mind. Mme. Bern­ hardt has won her greatest triumphs in roles he wrote for her, such as Tosca. Fedora, Theodora and Qlsmonda. "Mme. Bans Gene" was written tor Mme. Rejane, in which she por­ trayed the outspoken, good-hearted wife of Marshal Lefevre. It was trans­ lated into English and Sir Henry Irv­ ing and Miss Terry were seen in it at the Lyceum. . The great English actor also appeared in "Robespierre" and other products Qf the genius of the 'master Frenchman. M. Sardou realized a princely for­ tune by.his writings and built a splen­ did chateau at Marlyle-Roy. He mar­ ried, on June 17, 1872, Mlle. Soulier, daughter of the coiwervateur of the Museum of Versailles. He was deco­ rated with the I/eglon of Honor In 1863 and was electees member of the French Academy In 1877. GOTHAM POSTMASTER SHOT. Wounded by Eccentric Stenographer, Who Then Commits Suicide. New York, Nov. 10.—Edward M. Morgan, postmaster of New York city, was wounded in the abdomen Monday morning by a bullet fired by E. H. B. Mackay, an eccentric English stenog­ rapher. who then committed cuicide. Mr. Morgan was resting well at night and unless complications de­ velop he will, recover. An investigation of the life and-rec­ ord of Mackay reveals that he was of a morbid nature and a former in­ mate of an asylum In Worcester, Mass. That h!s act was premeditated is made certain by a letter be left, but aside from a fancied grievance against Mr. Morgan and the post-office author­ ities concerning the handling of his mall, nothing has come to light to in­ dicate why he should have sought to murder the postmaster.

That state, while giving Taft a plurality of 561, yet elects six Bryan electors and two Taft electors. The total vote caat in the state was: Taft, 116,471; Bryan, 115,910.

CHCI IS KILLED IN A DUEL FORMER TENNESSEE SENATOR 8H0T DEAD ON NASH­ VILLE STREET. Politics Cause of Fight—Robin Cooper Blays Editor of Ths Tennesseean Because of Published Attacks on His Fathef. Nashville, Tenn., Nov. 10.—Former Senator Edward Ward Carmack, ed­ itor of The Tennesseean, was shot and killed Monday afternoon about four o'clock on Seventh avenue North, in front of the Polk flats, by Robin Coop­ er, a son of Col. Duncan B. Cooper. Mr. Carmack was going north on Seventh avenue in front of the Polk flats and Col. Cooper and his eon Robin were -approaching Seventh ave­ nue on Union street Soon $fter they came in sight of one another the shooting began, Robin Cooper, It is said, firing two shots and Senator Car­ mack one. Col. Cooper. It Is said, drew his pis­ tol but did not fire. Carmack Dies Instantly. Senator Carmack fell to the ground, dying instantly. Robin Cooper was shot in the right shoulder but was not badly hurt. |t is understood that the trouble is one of the results of the recent Demo­ cratic gubernatorial primary in which Carmack was defeated. Carmack, since he had been editor of The T'ennesseean, had been quite caustic in criticising what he called the Demo­ cratic machine, and had several edi­ torials about Col. Cooper. Within the past few days, it is said, Col. Cooper notified Carmack that these editorial criclclsms must cease. Monday morning another editorial ref­ erence to Cot Cooper appeared in The Tennesseean, and this is supposed to have been the immediate cause of the trouble. Young Cooper's Wound Slight. As soon as Carmack fell Col. Cooper put his arm around Robin Cooper and both walked a few feet down Sev­ enth avenue to Dr. R. Q. Fort's office, where the slight wound in Robin’s shoulder was examined and treated. An ambulance carried the body of Mr. Carmack to an undertaking estab­ lishment. His pistol was lying at his side with two of, the chambers empty when the body was picked up. Young Cooper was later carried to a hospital and Col. Cooper is held at police headquarters. He has made no statement. Robin Cooper is a -prac­ ticing attorney, 27 years old and single. FATALLY SHOOTS HIS SISTER. Nebraska Man Uses Pistol to Drive Away Her Sweetheart.

MUNRO, •rrXK8.™‘ Phone 25. , At least 300 huge ox wagons, containing more than a thousand wom­ en and girls, together with a mixed assemblage of two or three thousand Boer horsemen, were gathered togeth­ er near Jansen's Nek, in the Komatl district of the Transvaal, to witness a remarkable contest between "Red" Dirk Uys of Wakkerstrom and "Crook­ ed" Dirk Breydenbach of Komatl, ri­ vals for the hand of the acknowledged beauty of the Boer republic. At a monster church meeting, held a few days before at Middleburg, the exciting diversion of voting for the prettiest girl in the country had dam­ pened the usual fervor of the religious services to a marked degree, and finally, wben It was announced that little Rosie Van Wyk had been elect­ ed by a handsome majority, the Jubi­ lation, of the contingent from her dis­ trict was simply boundless. ' But. when later,. according to cus­ tom. the maiden -nominated a hus­ band and named “Crooked” Dirk Brey­ denbach as her choice, much dissatis­ faction was expressed by a number of disappointed rivals. Privileged by the rules of the competition, one 6f these ambitious young fellows. Dirk Uys of‘ Wakkerstrom, surnsmed the "Red" on account of his fiery dispo­ sition. immediately challenged the for­ tunate winner and called upon him to uphold his claim and prove his man­ hood and horsemanship by competing in the celebrated contest known all over the country "Heading the Os­ trich." But If the'disgruntled and hot­ headed youngster had any idea that little Dirk Breydenbach would tamely surrender his beautiful bride he was much mistaken. Dirk, It is true, was sqiall. and bad a bed figure, but nevertheless, be was one of the most popular young Boers In the Komatl, and for very good rea­ sons. too. When a mere boy he had made for himself a glorious record by successfully defending a party of women and children during a night raid by an Imp! of murderous Kaffirs, anff his deformity was the result of a wound received on that occasion. He was not only brave but amiable, quiet and unobtrusive, and universally be­ loved for his cheerful disposition. From childhood bis name had been coupled with that of Rosie Van Wyk, and as the boy grew up his sweet­ heart seemed to think less of his de-' formity and more and more of his sterling character and of his renown as the cleverest horaeman and hunter in all the game-covered wide, country east of the river Vaal, Consequently, „ when . it became known that his right marry the girl who had chosen him had been challenged by an upstart from another district, universal Inter­ est and much indignation were aroused, and ths Boers of the Komatl were outspoken in behalf of their favorite. A well-known ostrich hunter was busy for nearly a week arranging the details of the contest- Fortunately, he found an ostrjch nest in a splendid situation. The next morning, he gal­ loped suddenly upon the scene, where­ upon the male bird, which was acting as sentinel, rushed at top speed away from the nest, hoping In this way to deceive the hunter knd draw him away from the group of females crouching in the grass among the The Boer chased the bird vigorous­ ly for some distance, and then retired from the pursuit as if beaten. On three successive mornings the hun­ ter played the same trick, and the ostrich, satisfied with the success of its tactics, took exactly the same course, almost stride for stride, on each subsequent occasion. Having made certain of the bird’s exact course, the old hunter sent a notice far and wide that on the fol­ lowing Saturday morning a magnifi­ cent male ostrich—"a terrific runner,” he wrote—would be started from the northwest corner of Hans Botha’s farm. The bird, the bulletin said, would run to the edge of the plateau, then down through Jansen's Nek and out over Prinsloo’s fiats as far as Bushman's spruit, where, balking at the running- water and afraid to cross It. as the ostrich Invariably is. he would swerve suddenly and sharp­ ly to the sight, and take a course aa straight as an arrow to the westward. The eventful morning came. All horsemen and wagoners were warned to keep well to one aide and leave the course to the rival horsemen. The rules of the contest Itself were very simple. The rivals were permitted to take any position they chose ahead of the bird, and await Its approach, but were required to keep at least 500 yards to the right of the expect­ ed route, to give the bird plenty of room 'to dodge, and themselves opportunlty to maneuver. The man who could head off the ostrich and knock bim over with a blow of'the sjambok would be the winner. And bo hundreds of Boers, with their famines, were on hand from Wakkerstrom. Utrecht, and the south country, as friends and relatives o' Red Dirk, while the farmen. from Middleburg and the Komatl were, of course, present in great number to cheer the efforts of their tavoriU little crookedback. when suddenly thebig ostrich was xigbUjd sailing down through Janasn’s Nek, following the exact course foretold by the hunter Along the route the spectators were- nerved op tn a high pitch of excitanMait. bat the Bpfbody bird paid no at­ tention to the long string of wagons and hoTBcnshem ttfilng the fiats. Score­ ful of danger, with stately and ma­ jestic stride be glided along like a winged phantom. Ail at once, catching sight of the two rival horsemen, bearing down up­ on bls bourse, he shot forward like a shell from a cannon,,and the specta­ tors shouted with delight Nothing but sudden death coukl stop that fearful rush! Twisting and turning his little bul­ let head from side to side, bls wings half extended, bis huge, stilt-like legs rattling off the enormous strides with dazzling rapidity, onward sped the big bird, -while the tiro Dirks, side by side, dashed down upon him. Ail eyes were soon fixed upon the spot where the ostrich had invariably swerved from the running water of Bushman’s spruit and turned sharply westward. It was observed with as­ tonishment that Red Dirk Uys, in­ stead of beading for the route which the bird would take, kept straight ahead. If-he did not change direction soon, it was seen, be would be into the spruit, and bis rival would in­ evitably meet tbe ostrich at the criti­ cal turning point On rushed the race. The magnifi­ cent. bird, paying no attention to his pursuers, went tearing along at break­ neck speed. Onward sped Red Dirk, to the very verge of the spruit A shout went up: . Now he was on the farther side of the stream, but not a drop of water had flashed in the sun­ light as he crossed! A'howl of sur­ prise was followed by yells of disap­ pointment from some of his support­ ers, and a rousing cheer from the friends of bis rival, as the great bird suddenly wheeled around, like a yacht coming about in a gale of wind, and darted full at the crook-backed horseman! Following its accustomed course with undiminlabed velocity, it was seen that, in a moment, they muat collide like express trains on a single track!

Then a thrill of delight ran through the multitude, as Crooked Dirk, sud­ denly turning and checking his pony at the critical Instant, whirled the ready sjambok through the air. and the plucky plumed runner of the veldt dropped prone in the dust! As the wondering crowd pressed forward to view at closer range the victor and vanquished, a strange sight met their eyes. Where the swift waters of the sprurt should have been sparkling, lay the damp bed of the stream—diverted over night by the crafty partisans of R^d Dirk Uys! They knew that an ostrich will turn from a running stream, and believed that It would cross the empty chan­ nel. but they forgot that it is an un­ reasoning creature of habit, and be­ tween tbe cupidity of man and the stupidity of the bird. Crooked Dirk Breydenbach won hit' bride. Our Two Days’ Sale of Cloaks AND Furs WHEN BEEF WAS CHEAP. Meat Once Scld for a Cent a Pound in “Merrie England.” The modern paterfamilias, burdened with numberless bills, will not believe such a millennium ever existed. Yet it did once, for by an act in the twen­ ty-fourth year of Henry VUI. auch an order was- made. Stow says: "It was this year en­ acted that butchers shall sell their beef for a half penny a pound, and mutton for three farthings. Fat oxen were sold Tor six and 20 shillings and eight pence, fat wethers for three shillings and four pence, fat calves at the like price.'and fat lambs for 12 pence." . They were, indeed, days'of plenty; for the fattest gooee. the chronicler goes on to relate, fetched but four pence, a capon three pence, a chicken one ]>enny and a hen two pence. No wonder the Spanish nobles who came over with Philip exclaimed: "Those English have their houses made of sticks and dirt, but they fare commonly aa well as the king." “Great shins of beef," their common diet, were the wonder of the age. "What comyn folk in all this world," says a state paper in 1516, “may com­ pare with tbe comyns of England in riches, freedom, liberty, welfare and all prosperity T What comyn folks is so mighty, so strong in the felda, as the comyns of Englandf friday and Saturday, December is and u.

Trophies of his prowess are still dis played in tbe Butts house, which be kept for many years and where he had a tame bear that tn time became a hopeless victim of strong drink. Butts, mighty as be was on the trail, never did tbe things that made Elmer Ford’s name a synonym for reckless courage. It was Ford’s contention that the parlor to brute strength and brute cour­ age and he demonstrated this on many occasions. As many as 20 times be has entered a bear den unarmed and chased the animal out after gazing at him steadily for two minutes. That was simply to prove that he iiossessed hypnotic power which he could exert at will. His great feat, however, was .to. .enter a den. crouch on all-fours and compel the bear to leap over Um and make for tbe open. This was his Invariable practice when he was accompanied by a green­ horn for whom he was acting as guide. In the fall of 1899 an Englishman wbo bad bunted elephants in Africa and tigers In India visited tbe Catskills on the strength of a story be heard on shipboard that tn the mountains of Green and Columbia counties could be found the fiercest and largest bears on tbe American' continent. Tbe visitor brought an arsenal with him, and after due inquiry* engaged Elmer to take him through the woods. They struck a trail on the south side of Windham High Peak and followed it for 11 hours, bringing up at nightfall to .the thick brush near the summit of South moun­ tain. In the morning after a night’s rest wrapped in blankets in the shelter of a temporary shack, they came within gunshot of a full grown black bear. The Englishman was given tbe first shot, and tumbled bruin over with a shot in the head. Up was much disgusted to find that he had shot an animal weigh­ ing about 400 pounds when be ex­ pected at least 800 pounds of bear met. "1 guess those people on the boat were handing you a lemon,” said Ford. “This is the wrong place to find griz­ zlies. That b’ar is rbout as big as we get ’em, but so long as you're disap­ pointed Hl try to show you some fun.” There was an hour’s rest and a snack of luncheon and Ford led the way up tbe mountain side. It was a steep and wearisome climb, but after reaching a clearing the guide pointed to a big flat rock between two trees. "Underneath that rock,” said he, "is a b’ar bole. I see by the signs that ole mister b’ar is to home. I'm goto' in to get him. You stay here and watch me and when he comet out Just give it to him." Ford put his rifle in the crotch of his arm and crawled into tbe, den on all fours. The Englishman watched hift, and as soon as bis eyes became ac­ customed to the darkness he saw two gleaming eyes in the further end of the cave. Forfi advanced to within three feet of the bear’s head and then gave a sudden yelp. The bear, a fe­ male, leaped clear over his back, dashed out of the entrance to the den struck the Englishman in the chest and bowled him over. Before he could recover the bear bad dashed through the brush and was out of sight "Why didn’t you shoot?" asked Ford, as soon as he stopped laughing. "God bless me!” replied the English­ man. "I never heard of bearding the bear in his den before. Indeed, I was not sure there was a bear there at all, don’t you know." In the following autumn Ford laid a wager that he would go into the moun­ tains and put a string of bells around a bear’s neck. He .was gone two days. When he came back he claimed the stakes, but the stakeholder said it would be necessary to prove that he had done what he agreed. "Walk" said Elmer. Two nights after that he led four men from Big Indian up the side of Black Dome and pitched a camp. In the moving the camp was awakened by a commotion in the underbrush. A big she bear came plunging down the m one tain frantic with fear, apparently, for with every jump there was a clang of an old cow bell fastened around her neck. Behind her came two cubs, each wearing a string of sleigh bells. "Thought I might as well do it right while I was about it." said Elmer. IM IM Ym Rm. Village Interns from Golf.

The legislature will be re­ quired to pass certain laws relating to the conducting of elections, making of returns, etc. In this connection there Is little doubt that the primary elec­ tion law will be changed.

WE WILL SURHUtf YM with our offers, ao wo invito cordially to viait Mr Lansing.—Hundreds of big game hunters participated in the sunual exodus to the woods of upper Michi­ gan. Deer became legal trophies In this state. Expiring with the close of the month, the open season continued for only 20 days, but with thousands of hunters ,in the forests the time is amply sufficient to permit of fearful slaughter. Whether hunting Is good this year depends to large extent upon the. weather conditions. At the mo­ ment the outlook is not particularly bright. The woods were very dry. Snow was needed if-the game was to be stalked successfully, and the ground was bare In many portions of the peninsula. The fact that extensive areas nave been swept by the forest fires of the su-umer is an important factor. There is no doubt that deer have been driven from many of the districts in wh{ph hunters have met with large success In the past, and they will not return this year at least, for subsistence is lacking. Last year, when upwards of 10,000 , hunters thronged the woods, the kill fell be­ low expectations. Each license-bearer permitted to bag two deer, only small percentage were successful doing so. and there were hundreds othew who failed to get a shot. Michigan Asks a Loan.

Volleys were jxjured into Deckard's house and he was shot down. He was seen to roll over on the floor, strike a match and set Are to his own house, which was soon a roaring furnace in which his body was baked. Deckard evidently had a large quantity of ammunition stored in his house, for many cart­ ridges exploded while the bouse was burning. Gov. Haskell at Guthrie was notified of the battle and of the bad feeling between whites and negroes that had grown out of it and threatened a race riot. The governor at once ordered the militia company at Muskogee to prepare to go to Okmulgee and a spe­ cial train was made ready to carry the troops, the governor remaining at his office to keep in touch, with tbe situa­ tion.

The statement follows: "I don’t care to say anything further than that my daughter and the Duke d'Abruzzi are not engaged to be married, and that I regret exceedingly the annoyance that must have come to the duke and his family by reason of the almost dally discussion of the matter in the press and the constant publication of rumors for so long a time, rumors which I venture to hope will now cease." ■ FREIGHT ENGINE BLOWS UP. Two Trainmen Killed and Two Injured in Missouri. Washington. Nov. 17.—The allega­ tion that the so-called "sugar trust ", controls the price paid the grower and the price charged the consumer of sugar, the secretary of war putting himself on record as a champion ot free entry for Philippine sugar, and the general "stand pat" attitude of the beet sugar growers who appeared before the ways and means committee of the house, were the features of Monday’s bearing on the revision of the tariff as it would affect sugar. Secretary of War Luke E. Wright and Gen. Clarence Edwards, chief of the insular bureau, were present at the hearing, it was shortly after the afternoon session was begun that Chairman Payne asked Secretary Wright If he cared to moke any re­ marks. Wright on Philippine Sugar. “I just heard that ‘ tbe committee was hearing arguments on the tariff on sugar and tobacco, which affects the Philippine islands," said the for­ mer governor of lhe Islands. "We are now having au Investigation made in the Philippines regarding the cost of production in the islands and other matters relating to the question. From what 1 have just heard, the principal objection by tho beet sugar grower to the admission free of duty of Philippine sugar lies in the danger that their markets will be inundated by the Philippine article. “It is not possible that the Philip­ pine islands could supply the actual Increase in demand for sugar, year by year, in the United States. In that case there is no reason why the Phil­ ippine islands should affect the mar­ ket until the beet and cane sugar pro­ duced within tbe tariff wall increases 1,800,000 tons. Before the beet sugar industry is in the slightest danger it must Increase from 440.000 tons an­ nually to 2,100,000 tons, and from an­ nual reports it would take 50 years to do this. I can't see how II would af­ fect the domestic product If Philip­ pine sugar were placed for a time on the free HsL" Take* a Poke at the “Trust." Secretary Wright said that the pro­ duction of sugar in the Philippines would not increase to any extent. Rep­ resentative Fordney of Michigan, who has a large number of sugar beet farmers among his constituents, told the secretary that the same argument was put forth with regard to the Cuban sugar several years Iago, and yet the production in Cuba has In­ creased very largely, and the Ameri­ can beet sugar industry bad not In­ creased very much. "The beet sugar people say that the American Sugar Refining Company has no interest in thel- factories," said the secretary, referring to the socalled "trust," “yet three years ago they said a trustee, understood to represent the American Sugar Refin­ ing Company, owned 51 per cent of the stock of all the beet sugar fac­ tories. That may be the reason why the beet sugar Industry in this coun­ try has not grown, rather than the Importation of Cuban sugar. There has been no reduction in the prices of sugar in a number of years." “Trust Methods Damnable.” Much information concerning the cost of producing sugar, the profits de­ rived. capital invested and methods of growing and refining, were offered. Col. D, D. Colcock, on behalf of the Louisiana cane sugar growers, said that the methods by which the "trust" names the price which it would pay the grower were unfair and "damn­ able.” Henry T. Oxnard, F. R. Hatha­ way. C. N. Smith. F. T. Scholes, G. W. McCormick and W. H. Baird, repre-' seating the beet sugar manufacturers of the west, asked that the present tariff be maintained, or if changed It be Increased, claiming that the mar­ gin of profit on beet sugar was too small to permit of any competition with the foreign refiner*. F. R. Hathaway, representing tbe Michigan Sugar Company, charged, that E. F. Aitklns. who will appear representing the Cuban sugar grow­ ers, “not only prophesies, but threat­ ens. a revolution In Cuba which would result in the annexation of Cuba and kltimate free trade, if the request for ^eduction is not granted.” • Hayti, Mo., Nov. 17.—Two trainmen are dead and two injured as the result of the explosion of a 'Frisco freight en­ gine here early Monday morning.

One trouble with the novice in pruning is that he may not have a clear idea of what he wishes to ac­ complish. He may think that the tree | is headed too low and so chops off the main limbs and ruins it, or, the top is too thick and proceeds to trim up the limbs, leaving a tuft of branches at the ends, destroying the fruiting spurs and leaving what fruit does grow in­ accessible and exposed tn the action of heavy winds. Better to have no pruning nt all than such work as this. The tools needed are a saw, shears, knife, step-ladder and occasionally a long ladder. The saw should be the ordinary, narrow, stiff-blade pruning saw, about 18 inches long and with rather course teeth so that it will cut are added to the last edition Web­ ster’s International DictjonafcjqThe Gazetteer of the nnerhe Biograph'r-I Dictionary, have been complete!/ revised.

As he looked sadly out, he could see the long, irregular street of tinsel and paper and paint and the crowd* that , surged and played in the glare of the myriad electric light*. He could see the laughing faces of pretty women, the gray uniforms of the chair boys, tbe plodding camel* a* they passed on noiseless feet across his range of vision and, giving the crowd a color brilliant and strange, gath­ ered there from every corner of the globe—Chinese girls, dark skinned Arabs. Hindocs Fakirs. Russian offi­ cer*. dainty French flower girls, swar­ thy Turk* and Malay sailor*. And above the din of tin trumpets, shuf­ fling feet and muffled screams he could hear the voice of Tbe Little Brown Man as he shrieked to tbe crowds of the ferocities of “Kooll the Terror of Mysterious Asia.” And every now and again The Little Brown Man would come and prod tbe sensitive trunk end and beat the sore toe ntfils till Kooll trumpeted In agony and sought refuge in the dark corner; while those who came looked on In wonder or awe or disgust—as intelli­ gence dictated. Months ago—ages ago it seemed— Kooli had come. They had toiled to­ gether, he pushing the beams into place while The Little Brown Man cursed shrilly and jabbed him in ten­ der places with the goad. And when the evening came The Little Brown Man throw him an armful of mouldy hay, over the price of which he had haggled for hours. Thus it was that Kooli helped to, build the prison in which he was to suffer. He bore it^ all with dull patience and. as the crowds came night after night, and the goad pricked sharp, grew thinner, gaunter and more nwful to look upon. It hardly required the artful shading about the eyes which The Little Brown Man produced with white lead to make him look the half­ crazed rogue whose part he played. Sometimes, In the lonely hours of the night, when the moon shone In at the bars -of his hopeless tomb, it showed tbe solitary figure of Kooli restlessly swaying from side to side. But it could uot show the pain that, starting at the bruised trunktip. would rise slowly up till the great gray head seemed full of burning coals that flashed and flickered and glowed till they flared up and burst amid ex quisite agony. Then, slowly, would come a procession of palms, broad river*, grassy plains—primeval for­ est*. And always there was a huge bull elephant, superb of tusk, immense of muscle, who moved through tbe vista* of green—a lord—fierce, lonely, unconquerable. And the bull would reach for tuft* of the succulent green above him and at the touch of bls trunk the palms would wither and dry and fall to hl* feet—a bunch of mouldy hay. Kooli knew that the bull was Kooli whose throat parched and burning, and who longed for just one little, little bite of that fresh, elusive green. Knew that It was Kooll, yet was not Kooll, and would ponder apon these strange, mixed conditions of things till all went out in flashes and bursts of fianje again. And of recent nights the great lone bull under the palms seeropd seeking something. "When Kooli'* brain grew hot and (he pictures came, he could see that.

He advanced, swaying from side to aide, trampling ruthlessly the matted underbrush him and caused him to tremble from trunk to tall? Pain! It was rage. Blind, unreasoning rage, and he sent bellow upon bellow into the forests about him. Not the quavering trum­ pet of terror now, but the harsh, fierce crash of anger. He was seeking something—seeking—seeking." Through the tangled growth he saw the twinkle of a fire. Near It crouched the figure of s man. A* little brown man who held in one frail hand an elephant goad. And Kooll knew what he sought A single step covered the mile* between them. Kooll trumpeted again In wild fury. He dashed the brown body to the earth, fell forward, crushing the bones under his great -kntes, and ground the wriggling Thing beneath him Into the dust till the forests vanished slowly away and left to. him only a quivering mas* of human flesh. But he was mad. Fever maxi, with the smell of blood,, and with hunger and pain. Hi* little pig eyes took on a steely, vacant stare. He charged the papier-mache rocks of his prison. Together with the planking behind them they crashed. and Kooll burst out upon the tinsel street. Here were men—counties* numbers of men— and be was hunting man to-night. He picked them up a* they fled before him. hurling them right and. left Lights, myriadsof them, twinkled and angered him. and he charged again and again.

Then a revolver cracked, and as Kooll wheeled something pinged- Into his side. He saw red stripes on a uniform of blue, and ,he thought of blood, and knew again what he sought. So he crushed out the life with his foot and charged on. A ten-foot pah ing smashed like glass.• and Kooll found himself in darkness. Dimly he saw before him two long, straight, shining rails, that spread across the country and dipped Into a hollow in the distance. He lumbered rapidly forward. A light approached. He roared in frenzy and charged once more. Big Rill was making time, The limited was late. “Bee anything ahead. Jack?" he asked of his fireman, suddenly. "My God! Load o’ hay!

There Is little satisfaction in trying to grow a garden on poor soil not properly enriched. Every farmer that has a few fruit trees only should learn the science of protecting them by spraying. An apple grower says that there is never an over-supply of good apples. The over-supply is of poor fruit In pruning the grape, it is neces­ sary to have a good deal of technical knowledge. Pruning too much will prevent fruit production on account of removing the wood that should bear the fruit; while pruning too little will allow a large development of vines at the expense of fruit Competition for Engaged Couples.

The Nashville Lumber Co Cl Martin's Lightning Proof, Better than Insurance Lightning Rods There is all the different in the world in lightning rods. Some are an absolute protection, others amount to practically nothing at All. -If a man wants to protect his buildings he should use the best rod. The manufacturer who makes the best rod gives you a guarantee with it. The man who makes a cheap rod, which he himself has no faith in,'will not give you a guarantee. I put up tbe Martin guaranteed rod at 16 cents per loot. It your building I* struck by lightning and burned after being equipped with ths Martin guar­ anteed rods, you get >S00 in cash. Tbe fact that tbe manufacturer* make this guarantee shows that they know that their rod is an absolute protection against fire by lightning. Now isn't it foolish, in order to save* lew dollars in rodding your building, to use a rod which neither the man who makes It nor the man who sells it has confidence in? If yon want that kind of a rod, I will put up the ordinary copper rod at 10 cents per foot or I will sell you tbe steel wire rod at 2 cents per foot, but I would much rather equip your build­ ings with tbe Martin guaranteed rod, which I kaww win protect them, and cm which you get a 9SOO cash gaaraatae that your buHdtage ard absolutely protected.

A fire broke out In ths grass on Mrs. George Howell’s lot, probably set by a passing loco­ motive. The grass set fire to an out­ building. which was destroyed. Mrs. John Ehret and her daughter, Mrs. Earl Tarbell, noticed the fire and rushed out of the house, crying “Fire!” to attract the attention of the neighbors, and the fire was soon taken care of. In the meantime Harry Ehret, who is in bed with a broken leg, and who supposed the fire was in tbeir own house, tried to call his fattier, who was in the same room with him, and who knew nothing about the fire. Mr. Ehret is guile deaf, and had his eyes bandaged on account of a malady which has bothered him for some time, and Harry could not attract his atten­ tion nor make him hear.

Nov. 23.—The first cattle In this city found to be suffering from aphthous fever, or hoof and mouth disease, were located Sunday through the department of health and charities. Inspectors learhed that four cattle had been shipped from an infected dis­ trict near Norristown, Montgomery county, to Jacob Haesler, a dairyman In the northern section of the city. When an investigation was made it was found that two eows were suf­ fering from the fever. They were in a pen with' 15 others, and as a matter of precaution the department kllledthe entire herd, confiscated a large quantity of milk and disinfected the barns, pens and milk house and quar­ antined the place. Other Animals Slaughtered. A report that reached Dr. Leonard Pearsen, the state veterinarian. In which It was stated that eight cattle has been shipped from an infected dis. trict to a slaughter house in the lower section of the city, caused the inspec­ tors to also quarantine that place and order the destruction of eight cows which had been received and also 125 sheep which were in the yards with them. The animals were slaughtered Monday. Humans Need Not Fear. Dr. Herbert Fox, chief of the labor­ atory of the state department of health, who was sent to Danville, last week to examine seven children who were supposed to have cuntrected the cattle disease, said Sunday at bls home In this city that there need be but little fear of the fever becoming epidemic among humans. Of the seven cases he examined, he said, but one was severe and that while It may have been a case of aphthous fever, there was nothing to prove conclusively that such was the case, while In the case of four others It was certain they were not suffering from the disease. Dr. Fox said that he does not be­ lieve that the disease is intercom­ municable between cattle and man by butter and milk. He thinks the dan­ ger lies in the careless handling of milk.'

Instantly the rail* of the Britannia swarmed with men. and from their throats at another signal frtftn the admiral came such a burst of cheering as warmed the very cockles of the melancholy Carrington’s heart. And with this cheerful sea compliment and these words of good will the frigate shot ahead and presently clai>plng on more canvas bore swiftly down the river. ' Carrington stared Jong and desper­ ately back toward the shores, fast ^dropping behind him, on which some­ where his wife’s foot rested. What was ahe doing? Where was she liv­ ing? What was she thinking of him? He knew 'nothing save,that In some manner she was under the. especial protection of the king; that was assur­ ance enough that she was well cared for, for no man questioned the hon­ esty, sincerity or kindliness of George the Third. It would be three years before he would see her again. The thought was maddening to him. He did not even know where to write to her. He was not nt all sure that the king would cause his letter to। *be *dellvered to her. He camo to a ideeper. ate resolution. He would write het another letter and send It from Weymouth by special* messenger to tbe king and beg him to see that it was delivered. It was not until late in the afternoon, when the Bellona was fairly In the channel beating down toward her destination, that Carrington went be­ low. As there was no captalc yet on the ship the quarters of that function­ ary by right belonged to him. He entered them without ceremony. The cabin on the new ship looked bright and cheery. Its equipments were rude, of course, as were those of all ships In those days, but they were better than those in ordinary vessels, the Bellona being the newest and most ad­ vanced product of theshlpyards. To a sailor of that day It was both a spacious and delightful sea home. To Carrington it was only a prison. He did not attempt to enter the state­ rooms on either side, but sat down at the table, burled his face in his hands and groaned aloud, it was the first moment of privacy that he had en­ joyed. It was the first opportunity af­ forded him to give way to his feel­ ings, and he Indulged himself at will. Separated from his wife, and through his own folly! The future that had opened so fairly before him utterly wrecked! Three long weary years at the least, and possibly four, to inter­ vene before he could see her again. He alYnost envied Strathjfate—fighting desperately for life at Blythedale* Hall and likely to be an invalid for the rest of his days—because be would be la England while Carrington was far oemg *me ot "And do you go with "Nay," answered Seton, “only to Weymouth." ' And at that Carrington was very glad, for tbougb he loved Seton much, he loved his wife more, and he wanted her for the rest-pf .bls .life all to him­ self. . Seton divined that, for presently he took Deborah by the band and led her 'forth upon the quarterdeck, leaving Carrington and Ellen alone together, each In the haven where they fain would be; husband and wife, one and Inseparable now and forever, locked in each other’s arms. (THE END.) FERTILIZING DRY LAND. The Moisture Content of Soil Muit Be Considered. The problem of, fertilizing dry land is not the same an fertilising moist land or land in the. humid regions where the soil contains a fair supply of moisture.at all seasons of the year. The writer Is Informed by Mr, T. C. । Wallace of California that in the dry _ soils of California the roots of the ' grape vines are very deep In tbe soli, and thau where irrigation is or is not practiced, It Is found to be very dlfthe vinei flcult to properly fertilize f---------- — ----j yards yards and and .orchards. .orchards. It It is is aa problem on which many are working, but it is 1 douls'ful if any have fully solved It— how to get the fertilizer that is put Into the surface soil to decompose and yield up Its plant food for the roots Ixi the moist layer of soil far below. It might be suggested that the -irri­ gation water would do the work, but the irrigation water Is not at the top of the soil for-a long enough period to accomplish very much in thia re­ gard. It is not a 'question of dissolv­ ing what Is soluble but seems to be a question of establishing a moist me­ dium In the vicinity of the fertiliser in which moist medium the soil or­ ganisms can work. The problem of fertilizing grape vines and fruit or* chards is the greatest because these do not permit of the turning over of the soil for the purpose of working fertility Into it. The problem that exists In Califor­ nia all the time exists here in the Mississippi valley part of tbe time. We have dry seasons In which the ef­ fects of the fertilizers applied to our vineyards and orchards is not greatly felt. The moisture conditions of the soli have a very large Influence on the decay of manure.

CASTOR IA Um KM Ym Han Alsip Bsgkl Man Whom Every One Consults. Tta notary Is a most important person iu all small country towns In France. Everybody consults him. from the big landowner when he has discussions with his neighbor over right of way, to the peasant who buys a few meters of land as soon as he has any surplus funds, says a writer In Scribner's. We were constantly having rows with one of our neighbors over a little strip of wood that ran up into ours. Whenever he was angry with us, which happened quite often (we never knew why), he had a deep, ugly ditch made just across the road which we always took when we were riding around the property. The woods were so thick and low, with plenty of thorns, that, we could not get along by keeping on one side and were obliged to go back and make quite a long detour.

Some a»e an absolute protection, others amount to practically nothing at all. If a man wants to protect his buildings he should use the best rod. The manufacturer who makes the best rod gives you a guarantee with it. Tbe man who makes a cheap rod, which be himself has no faith in, will not giye you a guarantee. I put up the Martin guaranteed rod at 15 cents per foot. If your building ia struck by lightning and burned after being equipped with tho Martin guar­ anteed rods, you get <500 in cash. The fact that the manufactures make thia guarantee shows that they know that their rod is an absolute protection against fire by lightning. Now isn't it foolish, in order to save a few dollar* in rodding your building, to use a rod which neither tbe man who makes it nor the man who sells it has confidence in? If yon want that kind ol a rod, I will put up the ordinary copper rod at 10 cents per foot or I will sell you the steel wire rod at 2 cents per foot, but I would much rather equip your build­ ings with tbe Martin guaranteed rod, which I keew will protect them, and oo which you get a >500 cash gmraatcc that your buiklings are absolutely protected.

Some are a* absolute protection, others amount to practically nothing at all. If a maa wants to protect his buildings he should use the best rod. The manufacturer who makes the best rod gives you a guarantee with It. The man who makes a cheap rod, which he himself has no faith in, will not give you a guarantee. I put up the Martin guaranteed rod at 16 cents per foot If your building is struck by lightning and burned'after being equipped with the Martin guar­ anteed rods, you get $500 in cash. Tho fact that the manufacturers make thia guarantee shows that they know that their rod is an absolute proteclloa against fire by lightning. Now isn’t it foolish, in order to save a few dollars In rodding your building, to use a rod which neither the man who makes it nor the man who sells it has confidence in? If you want that kind of a rod, I will put up the ordinary copper rod at 10 cents per foot or I will sell you the steel wire rod at 2 cento per foot, but I would much rather equip your build­ ings with the Martin guaranteed rod, which I know will protect them, and oa which you get a >500 cesb gwraatec that your buildings are absolutely protected. Under any circumstanoes, do not allow anybody to put lighted®^ rods on your building until you have seen me. You are'invited to call and see this system demon­ strated. It is positively the only practical and safe system. C. J. Scheldt �Gertrude Fisher, Mr. and Mr*. John Martin and daughter Alberta, of and David Young.

This prescription forces the cloggedup, inactive kidneys to filter and strain 'from the blood the poisonous waste matter a»d uric acid, which causes Rheumatism.

Though it failed to quench her thirst, she was agree­ ably surprised to find that the little flat bar of metal eased her craving to a marked degree. Wlnthrope now thought to rig a shade as Miss Leslie bad done, out of reeds and his handkerchief, for the sun was scorching his unprotected head. Thus sheltered, the two crouched as comfortably as they could upon the half-dried crest of the hum­ mock and waited impatiently for the return of Blake. CHAPTER III. The Worth of Fire. C'ErtU reefs was fast smoothing to a gVusy plain in the dead calm, they did not see Blake on his return until he struck shallow wa­ ter and stood up to wade ashore. The tide, had begun to ebb before he started landward, and though he was a powerful swimmer, the long pull against the current had so tired him that when he took to wading he moved at a tortolse-likc gait. “The bloomin' loafer!” commented Wlnthrope. He glanced quickly about and at sight of Miss Leslie's arching brows, hastened to add: "Beg par­ don! He—ah—reminds me so much of a navvy, you know." Miss Leslie made no reply. At last Blake was out of the water and toiling up the muddy beach to the spot where he had left his clothes. While dressing he seemed to recover from his exertions in tbe water, for the moment he had finished he sprang to his feet and came forward at a brisk pace. . As be approached. Wlnthrope waved his filth cigarette at him with languid enthusiasm, and called out as heartily as his dry lips would per­ mit: “I say. Blake, deuced glad the sharks didn't get you!” “Sharks?—bah! All you have to do is to splash a little, and they haul off." “How about the steamer. Mr. Blake?" asked Miss Leslie, turning to face him. “AU under but the maintopmast— curse it!—wire rigging at that! Couldn’t even get a bolt” "A bolt?” “Not a bolt; and here we are as good as naked on this infernal—Hey. you! what you doing with that match? Light your cigarette—light it!— Dam­ nation!" Heedless of Blake's warning cry, Wlnthrope had struck his last vesta, and now, angry and bewildered, he stood staring while the little taper burned Itself out.

NILES PHOTOGRAPHER Lansing.—The Michigan supreme court decided that the claim of WiL 11am L. Curtis and James R. Wylie against the county of Charlevoix is valid and the prospects are good that*’ they will be able to recover >1.500, they loaned to the now disorganized county of Miattou, 23 years ago. The accumulated interest Is’ now greater than the principal. Manitou county embracing several Islands In Lake Michigan was organ­ ized by James J. Strang, who estab­ lished a Mormon colony at the village of SL James on Beaver Island.late in the forties and was widely known as “King Strang.” When Strang was as­ sassinated after a bitter campaign against his religious affiliations, his followers scattered and the Islands became a fishermen's community. The population never exceeded 1,000 and In 1885, during a period of finan­ cial depression, the county obtained a loan from Curtis and Wylie, who then conducted- a bank* at Petoskey. In 1895 the loan remained unpaid when the legislature disorganized Manitou county and attached the is­ lands to Charlevoix and Leelanau counties. Leelanau paid her share of this debt but Charlevoix demurred with the result that the case was taken into the courts where the Petos­ key men have finally won their contention. Plati Schedule of Excess Rates. A tentative schedule of excess bar _ gage rates has been prepared by the state railway commission, and will be discussed by wholesalers and railroad representatives at a meeting of the commission in Lansing, December 16. The proposed schedule is arranged on a mileage basis, whereas the exist­ ing schedule, which Is unsatisfactory to Michigan wholesalers, is computed on the basis of the amount of fare paid. The proposed rates, for exam­ ple, provide a minimum charge of six cents a hundred for excess baggage carried from one to ten miles, while the minimum under the schedule in force Is 15 cents a hundred. The tentative schedule for the transportation of 100 pounds excess baggage runs as follows: One to ten miles, six cents; 11 to 20 miles, eight cents; 21 to 35 miles, 12 cents; 36 to 50 miles, 15 cents; 61 to 70 miles, 23 cents; 71 to 80 miles, 26 cents; 81 to 90 miles, 30 cents; 91 to 100 miles, 34 cents; 101 to 110 miles, 37 cents; 111 to 120 miles, 40 cents, and additional distances in like proportion. Tberrato for from 191 to 200 miles is 67 cents and for from 291 to 300 miles, one dollar. Where the actual mileage is less than five miles In ex­ cess of the minimum stated, the mini­ mum mileage shall be used In comput­ ing the charge, but where the actual mileage is five miles dr more the minimum stated the maximum mile­ age shall prevail. No excess charges less than 25 cents will be made when the gross weight of tbe excess bag­ gage Is less than 200 pounds, and no charge less than 35 cents will be made when the gross weight Is over 200 and less than 300 pounds. No charge less than 50 cents will be made when the gross weight is over 300 pounds and less than 500 pounds. Pori masters Under Civil Service. All Michigan fourth class postmas­ ters were placed in the classified serv­ ice by an executive order of President Roosevelt Hereafter all appointees to fourth class postmasterships must un­ dergo civil service examination. Post­ masters now bolding office will not need to take the examinations. Ov^r 15,000 fourth class postmasters In the United States are affected by the order, 1,234 In Michigan. The post of­ fice department may fill vacancies In fourth class postmasterships without civil service examination until the civil service commission is able to hold examinations and make certification to such positions. The order takes all fourth class postmasters of Michigan out of politics and places them under civil sendee control, is taken to mean that soon all Michigan postmasters will be under the civil service. "Fourth class postmasters are the low­ est class In the service,” said Assistant Postmaster Joseph Mayworm. “There are 54,312’fourth class postmasters In the United States, but, of course. I do net know what number will be affected by the new order, which applies only to a certain district Hereafter fourth class postmasters will be obliged to take the civil service examination and then they will be allowed to retain their positions for life, pending good behavior. The post offices at River Rouge, Ecorse, etc., are fourth class of- Michigan War on Saloons. . The biggest fight against the saloons that Michigan has -ever seen is to. be pulled off In'the coming spring cam­ paign. according to George W. Mor­ row, superintendent of the Anti-Saloon league, and the battle ground of the contest may be seen by a glance at the lineup of1 counties. It will be remem­ bered that last spring tbe Issue of local option was fought Id 14 counties, and that ten of the 14 were carried by tbe opponents of the saloon. Van Buren county has .been dry for about 18 years, and adding that to the ten that were carried under the present reform wave makes the 11 that ap­ pear under the first heading of “dry counties." Under the present local op­ tion law the boards of supervisors must pass on the matter of submit­ ting the question to the vote of the people, and in the 11 counties enumer­ ated In the second heading the stipe* visors already have ordered that the question shall be . submitted this spring. It goes without saying that a life and death struggle between the liberal Interests and the anti-saloon in­ terests is already In full swing in those of 11 counties. In the 13 countlee that are named under the third head­ ing as ’ being likely to vote on local option this spring a similar finish fight Is on. Here's the way they line up now: ■ Counties now dry—St. Joseph, Oakland. Missaukee.. Oceana. Barry. Gratiot. Osce­ ola. Van Buren, Clinton.

How much money other states are spending for prisons, education, asy­ lums and maintenance of the various departments of slate government is a matter of interest to Gov. Warner, who bas made inquiries along these lines. It is supposed the governor in­ tends to make use of the information in bls message to the legislature in a chaptea on state expenses. Tbe governor has also made Inquiry regarding the liquor laws in force in the various states of the middle west and the fact that be is fortify­ ing himself on the liquor question with facts relating to the traffic indi­ cates that he expects the problem to be put to the legislature and himself. Heretofore Gov. Warner has avoided taking a positive stand for or against the traffic. Debt of 175,000 Will Go Unpaid.

The Nashville Lumber Co, II Martin’s Lightning Proof, Better than insurance Lightning Rods There is all the difference in the world in lightning rods. Some are an absolute protection, other* amount to practically nothing at all. If a man wants to protect his building* he should use the best rod. The manufacturer who makes the best rod gives you a guarantee with-it. The man who make* a cheap rod, which he himself has no faith in, will not give you a guarantee. I put up the Martin guaranteed rod At 15 cents per foot. If your building is struck by lightning and burned alter being equipped with tbe Martin guar­ anteed rods, you get 8500 in cash. The fact that the manufacturers make this guarantee shows that they know that their rod is an absolute protection against fire by lightning. Now isn’t it foolish, in order to save a tew dollars in rodding your building, to use a rod which neither the man who makes it nor the man who sells it has confidence in? If you want that kind of a rod, I will put up the ordinary copper rod at 10 cents per foot or I will sell you the steel wire rod at 2 cents per foot, but I would much rather equip your build­ ings with tbe Martin guaranteed rod, which I know will protect them, and on which you get a >500 cash guarantee that your buildings are absolutely protected. Under any circumstance*, do not allow anybody to pot iightaing rods on your building until you have seen me. You are invited to call and see this system demon­ strated. It is positively the only practical and safe system. �Suits and Overcoats This tot le the child of a woman should be a widow, or the woman who wants to be a widow.

That remained her home for onlythree years when the family came to East Castleton, where she resided most of tbe time until .1885, at, which time' Nashville became and has re­ mained her place of residence ever since. In 1868 she became Che wife of E. 8. Totten of Buchanan, but was left a, widow at the early age of nineteen, as Mr. Totten died, February 16, 1869. She returned to' her girlhood "home and on January 3, 1877, was united in marriage to Charles H. Raymond, who now survives her. Besides many distant relatives, Mrs. Raymond leaves three sisters: Miss Josephine Downing. Mrs. John E.- Barry, both of Nashville, and Mrs. F. C. Brown of East Castleton; the brothers are T.’C. Downing, B. B. Downing, and H. E. Downing of Nashville, and M. E. Downing of East Castleton. The truest memorial of Mrs. Ray­ mond is the sweet and tender memories which will linger long in tbe minds of those who knew her best. She had a sunny, .genial disposition, easilymaking friends and always taking an optimistic view of life. When all was dark and gloomy and black clouds hovered low, she could always see a ray of sunshine somewhere, and was ever ready to lend a helping hand to those in distress, or kind woids to those bowed down in grief. A tender, boundless charity for the faults of others was always evident In her words and actions. Although not a member of any church she was a believer in the Christian religion and had an abiding faith in the heavenly father which carried her through all the trials and suffering to the end. Long, weary days and bights of suf­ fering and pain were ber portion, yet she uttered no complaint, realising that all that could be done for her was being done. She said many times, "I want to thank yon all, for you’ve been so good to me.” In the years we’re walked together. While its cares and joys we’ve shared, To tbe end we've oft times wished That to each other we might be spared. But our loved one who Jias left us Has only gone before. She’ll be waiting*there to greet us When we reach tbe other shore. Then when Ute’s journey's ended, Aud side by side »e ife, Ab! then, dear heart, we’ll sleep together In that near sweet bye and bye. WOMAN'S LITERARY CLUB. The Wonan’s Literary Club met at the rooms of the Nashville Club Tuesday December 1. for the study of American Fiction, with Mrs. Glasner, chairman. The day was devoted chiefly to living authors in the hope of determining which of recent boons are worth while. Roll call—A favorite Character i n Fiction—brought forth a goodly company from John Halifax to Mrs. Wiggs of the Cabbage patch. The Valse Vonitienne by, Leon Ranguet was a duel played by Mesuames Marble’and Munton which was heartily encored but they were not prepared to respond. Ten leading women writers with their best books were ably, if briefly, sketched as follows: Octave Thanet—Mrs. Beebe. Ellen Glasgow—Mrs. Vance. Mrs. Cragie—-Mrs.. Townsend. Louise Alcott—Mrs. Everts. Ida M. Tarbell—Mrs,- Kleinhans. Mrs. Edith Wharton—Mrs. Marble. Frances Hodgson Burnett—Mrs. -F. Shilling. Mrs. Ruth McEnery Stuart—Mrs. Rentcchler. Mrs. Mary E. Wilkins FreemanMrs. Marshall. A review of “Tbe Lady of the Decoration" by Mrs. Furniss proved her especial fitness for the task. The book written by Frances Little, con­ sists of a series of letters written by Sn American kindergarten teacher in apan. The story as told by Mrs. Furniss vividly portrays the life of the poorest Japanese, their hardship and toil, their homes, children and customs, even their weddings. We learned much of the real-people of tbe"Flowery Kingdom." The next meeting will be held in die Club rooms December 15, Chair­ man, Mrs. Rentchler. Ls.l Friday afternoon at 2:30o’clook >e W. C. T. U. oflbia village held a 1b compelled to earn the money which must clothe and feed and provide a roof for heraelf and child, and. not being able to be In two places at once, and tbe question of the where­ withal of al’, things ■'decreeing that she must spend tbe greater part of her time at her place of business, there Is nothing left to do but leave the baby In the charge of some one who may be competent or may be just the reverse, and supervise its care by phone. As a rule tbe home of the woman with a child’ is a boarding house, where the baby becomes the pet. and the object of Interest to the feminine contingency. While the mother is at home the women boarders worry not at all. -With the advent ef the nurse they feel a sudden weight of responsi­ bility descend upon their shoulders and the nurse is immediately aware that her path’ is marked out as straight and extremely narrow. She will be allowed no leeway. Her young men must not meet her on the corner. She must abandon her yellow-covered novel. On the day of the nurse's arrival tha. mother gives instructions. "I will call you up several times to-day and see how you are getting along. Then, if I think of anything I want to tell you, I can let you know. If you are*ta difficulty about anything go to Mrs. —— or Mrs.------ or Mrs. ------ , and she will tell you what tojdo. Now. don’t take the baby out to-day, for she has a cold. Be sure that you cover’hef up when she takes her nap. Give her plenty of water, to drink. Don’t tell her about anything that will frighten her. See that her bottle Is good and warm. Don’t let her get in drefts. Have her face and hands washed and her hair combed and a clean dress on when you take her down to lunch. Don’t give her any candy. That’s all I can think of now. 1’11 rail you up.” And the nurse sighs, "Yes, ma’am!” At ten o’clock the telephone bell rings. A tragic voice cries, "This is Mrs. ——. Please call Maggie to the phone at once.” Breathlessly the landlady files up the stairs. "Maggie! Maggie! Maggie! Hurray! Mrs. r---- is at the telephone. O, I’m afraid something dreadful—O. was the baby asleep? Poor itte sing! Dere no! She never used to cry that way when her mother was here. Go on. I’ll watch the baby. Dere now, petty. Did naughty Maggie make it ky. Aw—aw. Nesser min’. Mama pank!” Maggie at the telephone by this time gasps “Hello!" "Maggie," cries the voice at the other end. "O, ip that you? I forgot _ to tell yon to put limewater In the baby's bottle. Has she had it? ' O, dear, O, dear! And. Maggie—what is that I hear? Is the baby crying? What! Why, what do you mean by leaving her? Go back at once. Maggie—Mag­ gie—” But Maggie has gone. The phone rings madly. The landlady again answers. Mag­ gie, upstairs rocking the baby, hears: "Yes, Mrs. ------ • Dreadful! Cried until ber face was purple: She’s quiet now. 0,1 hardly—think so? Soothing syrup? I’ll see. You hold the wire." There Is a tiptoeing ascent Then jyst as the baby closes Its eyes the door 16 opened suddenly to close again with a bang. The landlady says: "No, I don’t think so; but you never can tell. She seems awfully quiet But I wouldn’t worry If I were you, Mrs. ----- ” Two hours later the bell peals sud­ denly. The nurse ahudders and clutches the child to her. “Bet It's your ma,” she says. "Maggie? Please bring the baby to the phone. Is she there? Now hold her there till she coughs. Something tells me she Is going to be croupy and I must know about it 1 am so wor­ ried. Do you think she will cough?" “I don’t know, ma’am.” replied Mag­ gie. “She hasn’t coughed all day.” "She hasn’t? You haven't been try­ ing any medicine on her, have you, Maggie? All right. Don't ever do that. Well, I’ll call you up later.” And so It goes. When night comes and the nurse Is allowed to go home there is apt to be-a wild look in her eyes and she Is not to be blamed If she is onesided; holding a baby on one arm and banging on to a receiver at the same time is enough to make any­ one appear tipsy. After a few days the mother prob­ ably relaxes her vigilance If she is in­ clined to have confidence. In the girl and if the baby appears to like her new caretaker. But Just tbe same she oversees everything that there is to be overseen, oven baby’s bath.

ROSCOE �1WT PU Yl. 3 YEARS OLOf FAIRBANKS OPENS THE SENATI AND CANNON THE LOWER HOUSE. Little Done First Day—Two New Senators and Nina Representative! Take the Oath-President's Me* sago Is Read on Tuesday Washington. Doc. 8.—Monday at 12 o’clock both houses of congress con­ vened for the beginning of the second session of the Sixtieth congress. Vice­ President Fairbanks opened the sen­ ate and Speaker Cannon presided in the house. Practically no bur-lness was trans­ acted in either house Monday. In the senate ex-Gov. Cummins of Iowa took oath of office as the successor of Sena­ tor Allison of that state, as did Carroll S. Page of Vermont as the successor Of Senator Stewart. ■ • In the house the seven members who were elected Id November to suc­ ceed members who have died or re­ signed in that body also were sworn in. They are: Henry A. Barnhart (Dem.), who succeeds the late Mr. BHck (Rep.) from the Thirteenth In­ diana district; Albert Estopinal (Dem.), who succeeds the late Mr. Meyer from the First Louisiana dis­ trict; Otto G. Foelker .(Rep.), suc­ cessor to Mr. Dun well (Rep.), In the Third New York, district; Frank E. Guernsey (Rep.), successor to Mr. Powers (Rep.), from the Fourth Maine district; Eben M. Masters (Rep.), suc­ cessor to Mr. Parker (Rep.), from South' Dakota, at large; O. C. Wiley (Dem.), successor to his brother, A. A. Wiley (Dem.), from the Second Ala­ bama district, and John P. Swasey (Rep.), successor to Mr. Littlefield, who resigned during the last session from the Second Maine district. The two bouses then appointed com­ mittees each to notify the other house and the president that the two bodies were organized and prepared to go for­ ward with the business of the session. The senate then adjourned for the day out of respect to the memory of Sena­ tor Allison, who died during the re­ cess. The house ?.lso terminated Its brief session with resolutions com­ memorative of the lives of Messrs. Parker. South Dakota; Wiley. Ala­ bama; Dun well. New York, and Powere, Maine, who have died since ad­ journment last May. President's Message Tuesday. Tuesday was given up by both houses to the reading of the presi­ dent’s message. As this was tbe last annual _ message which President Roosevelt will send to congress, there was uhusual Interest In IL It was expected that the house would begin Wednesday morning with the consideration ot the bill providing the means for tho taking of the thir­ teenth census. This bill was pending when congress adjourned In May. and there will be an effort to get It through both houses before. the Christmas holiday recess In order that preparations for the numbering of the people In 1910 shall be begun as ^peedlly as possible. Tswney to Report Soon. It Is the expectation of Mr. Tawney, chairman of the committee on appro­ priations. that his committee will be prepared to report the bill making ap­ propriation for the legislative, execu­ tive and judicial branches of the gov­ ernment before the end pt the week, and its consideration will be begun at the first practical moment.

Pine Bluff, Ark., Dec. 8.—Tbe gov­ ernment dyke at the foot of Tennessee street, upon which the residents of the eastern portion of this city depend for protection, gave way late Monday and the waters of the Arkansas river are fast eating their way toward the mouth of Hardings bayou, which crosses the city. When the river encroaches a short distance further it will strike with full force what is known as' the East end, that section destroyed by fire several ytars ago and but recently rebuilt, and because of the nature of the soil, which Is soft aud sandy, tbe natural resistance will be but slight. Whe^e possible, houses are being rolled to places of safety and others are being demolished and the lumber and fur­ nishings carted away. Monday five dwelling houses and the warehouse of the Arkansas Packet Company were swept away and the greater portion of the Cady hardwood mill was destroyed. Barracque street for a distance of five blocks east of Gecrgia has been destroyed and the buildings which were situated on the south side of the street are being moved back as rapidly as possible. .

While it was generally known that repairs were in progress at the La­ barge nlanl of the .Thornapple Gas and Electric campany few have re­ alized the magnitude of the opera­ tions. Mr. T. C. Strawn of New York, a civil engineer in the employ of the owners, J. O. White and com­ pany of that city, was recently here to Inspect the completed work. He has given the News some interesting fuel concerning it. When the dam was originally i>uilt i^was constructed as all dams are, with an apron or platform on- the lower side to receive the impact of the water as it falls over the top, and prevents the undermining and washing out and it was necessary to rebuild it. This has been done, in the most sub­ stantial manner. The dam is J70 feet i long and the apron just completed is of the Jame length', 28 feet wide and solidly built up’ from the bottom of the river four feet. It was made of timbers 8x12 firmly bolted together ' In the form of “cribs” filled with stone and covered with four-inch plank made water-tight by grooving .the edge of the planks and inserting tightfitting strips, making the plank fit to­ gether like one solid surface. The dam was also tilled in with stone and re-faced jvith the same kind of plank­ ing. Forty thousand feet of four-inch plank, 30,000 feet of 8x10 joists, 5,000 linear feet of 8x12 hewn timbers, 26 kegs of spikes weighing a pound a­ piece and 3,000 tons of field stone were used in this vork. A large force of from 25 to 30 men -were employed from about the first of September when the repairs were begun until a few d>ys ago and the demand for field stone ' gave all the farmers in the vicinitv a market for a crop that is generally considered a nuisance but in this case was quite profitable. Th* operationrequired a portable sawmill, a camping outfit and two tramways for conveying material out upon the crib and dam. Thq. whole outlay for this improvement was about 810,000. The company., were favored by weather conditions, the dry weather having reduced the volume of water so that the turbine wheels took it all. Now that the operations are completed the I>abarge dam is a very “olid structure with a fall of about 18 feet without the flash boards and 18 with then'.. With the normal flow of water in the river there will be no difficulty in furnishing hereafter all the power re­ quired. Its successful completion is a source of relief and gratification to the local officials of the company, which has had many difficulties to contend with during the unsettled'conditions under which the plant had to lie run while the dam was rebuilding. Hereafter the plant..will. be in condition to meet its constantly growing business with adequate satisfaction and success. —Caledonia News. benefit of all Northeast Barry Co. Loyal Temperanc* Legion.

If the plan of the house to censure President Roosevelt does not stir up a genuine explosion.

No Debate on Appropriations. When the legislative appropriation bill was called up in the house of rep­ resentatives Friday by Mr. Bingham of Pennsylvania the extraordinary sit­ uation was presented'that for the first time in 12 years no general debate was asked for. Even the first read­ ing of the bill was dispensed with by unanimous consent. Mr. Bingham, having the measure in charge, explained its provisions, the main features of which already have been printed. Its reading for amendment then was begun. “Insurgents" Begin Fight. The fight for a revision ot the rules of the house of representatives was started Friday night at a meeting of the so-called "insurgents." attended by 25 Republican representatives. Rep­ resentative Hepburn of Iowa presided and was authorized to name a commit­ tee of five, with himself chairman, to draft the proposed amendments to the rules and report to the organization on Tuesday night Brownsville Affair in Senate. Washington, Dec. 15.—The Browns­ ville affair consumed nearly the entire session of the senate Monday. Sena­ tor Foraker obtained the floor early in the day and read letters from a former soldier of the Twenty-fifth regiment telling of the procedure of government detectives In attempts to get a confer cion from him. Senator Foraker Introduced an amendment to his original bill for the reenlistment of these soldiers provid­ ing that a commission of three retired army officers be created to determine whether the discharged soldiers are in­ nocent of complicity in- the shooting np of Brownsville as a prerequisite for their reenlistment, Instead of leav­ ing that duty with the president as provided by the Warner bill. A message from the president was read, reasserting the guilt of the dis­ charged soldiers, but saying he was willing they should be reinstated if they would confess, and promising im­ munity to those who did so. New York. Dec. 15.—That the latest battleships built by this country are vastly superior to England's Dread­ nought. is emphatically stated by Rear Admiral Robley D. Evans In an article in the latent number ot Hamp­ ton’s Broadway Magazine, wherein he strongly defends the American navy and replies tq criticisms of It made some time ago by Henry Reuterdahl and others. “I do not for a moment claim that the Indiana and her sister ships are equal to tbe Dreadnought of the Eng­ lish navy,” says Admiral Evans, “only that she is the equal of the English ship designed at the same»time. But I do claim that our latest ships are vastly superior to the Dreadnought, and I believe that every fair-minded man who has given the subject intelli­ gent consideration will agree with me." Admiral Evans urges the superior­ ity of the 13-lnrh gun over the 12-lnch and asserts that the change to the leaser caliber to conform to England's type was a most serious blunder. This is chargeable, he says, to the sea­ going officers of the navy and not to any staff corps. Armor Belt Defended. Regarding the waterline armor belt he says: "I am sure, after many weeks of close observation, that the lower edge of the armor belt Is too high rather than too low." It had been strenuously contended by critics that the low location of ths belt was a vital point of weakness. “As the upper edge of ths belt is al­ ways even with or above the level of the protective belt," continues Ad­ miral Evans, “the danger to be ap­ prehended from a projectile penetrat­ ing above the belt, beyond the wreck­ ing effect of such projectile, is that due to the amount of water that may enter the hole. It Is the damage that may be done by such projectiles enter­ Ing below that may cause the destruc­ tion of the ship—one projectile so placed may cause the ship to sink by exploding magazines or boilers, but this Is Improbable. It will require mauy 12-inch shells on the waterline, or In any other place, to disable or sink such a ship if the officers and men know their business and want to fight." Admiral Evans declares the state­ ment that "a wound on a turret may disable that turret's guns" Is absolute­ ly inaccurate unless by "wound" pene­ tration Is meant. Can’t Be Like Russian Fleet. "Of all the inaccurate and mislead­ ing statements in this wonderful Reuterdahl criticism," he continues, "the most incorrect is that tbe bat­ tleships of the United States are in exactly the same condition as were the Russian ships after the Russo Japanese fight in the Sea of Japan— not temporarily, but permanently. "I assert," says the admiral, "that the battle fleet of the United States never was and never will be, never can be. in the condition of that Rus­ sian fleet when it went into action for the last time." The three leading features In battle­ ship's designs, which. Admiral Evans concludes, deserve most careful con­ sideration and co-ordlnatloh, are the battery, the armor protection and the motive power. Any one of these un­ duly sacrificed In favor of the other means weakening of the fighting ma­ chine. WILSON TELLE OF GREAT CROPS. Farm Products Make New Record In Country’s History. Washington. Dec. 14 —Secretary of Agriculture James Wilson, in his twelfth annual report to President Roosevelt, declares farm products of 1908 make a new record in the coun­ try's history. American farms are reported to have exceeded the mines fourfold, albeit oil and precious metals are included in the showing of the latter. Corn is declared king tn the de­ tailed account of cereals, staples, tubers, and the dethroned monarch— cotton. Cotton takes second place In value. The hay yield makes a new record. Is the greatest ever reported, and thus helps the remarkable showing of agricultural products in general. In its resume ot values, the secre­ tary's report shows the farm /aiue of all farm products to have reached "the most extraordinary total in the nation’s history—V.,778.0O0JXI0." Col.

In the village of Lawton there 1® an open revolt against what one element says is a mercantile monopoly for the village business, and an absolute dis­ regard for business methods In carry­ ing on the business of the town. As a result, Gov. Warner has been called upon by Eugene Lawton, the village president, to oust from office Claude Mitchell, the clerk, and George Lam­ bert, one of tbe trustees. Assistant Attorney General Chase has been in Lawton investigating the charges, and It is said he will report to the gov­ ernor that certain law® have been ignored by the officials as well as by other people. In the good old-fashioned Lawton village has observed the law In dealing with Its finances. as It has seen the law enforced be­ fore. The ordinances provide that all order® upon the treasurer must be. signed by the president and clerk and presented to the treasurer (dr payment Lt® year. It develops, a large number of orders were signed only by the clerk, Irwell Broady, or by Mr. Coleman, a former village trus­ tee, In the absence of Mr. Broady or by airy other person whom the clerk designated as assistant clerk. Local Option "Repugnant.” The coming session of the legisla­ ture will have to deal with several Im­ portant subjects to which close atten­ tion must be given, owing to the adop­ tion of the new constitution. That the session may be an extended one has been generally conceded, but Dep­ uty Attorney General Chase does not think so. Sec. b of the schedule of revised constitution says: "The at­ torney general of the state shall pro pare and report to tbe legislature at the commencement of the next session such changes in existing law® as may be deemed necessary to adapt the same to this constitution." Mr. Chase said: “A great deal of the work that the legislature will have to do will be simply to Incorporate into law the suggestions made In the constitution, and this will not require much time or debate. By the revised constitu­ tion, local bills and concurrent resolu­ tions are cut out, and this will remove a large part of the subject matter which, In the past, has demanded much of tbe time and attention ot both branches of the legislature." Farmers for Prohibition. The State Association of Farmers' Clubs of Michigan, in annual session here, directed a committee to report a resolution asking the legislature to withhold any future appropriations for the aid of the state fair at Detroit until the sale of liquor on the grounds Is prohibited and other objectionable features are eliminated, in speaking in favor of the motion, T. J. Daniels of St Johns said it was. too bad that soma broad-gauged farmer wa® not at the head of the fair. The committee on temperance re­ ported favorably state-wide prohibi­ tion and commended the work of the Anti-Saloon league. The resolutions covering these subjects were adopted. As a result of the address of Prof. W. H. French of the agricultural col­ lege on "Teaching- Agriculture in Ru­ ral Schools," it la believed the associa­ tion will lend its influence to further­ ing this new educational scheme. Want Highland Park Annexed. Probably one of tbe first bills to come before the next legislature will be a proposition to annex Highland Park village to the city of Detroit W. W. Hannan and other prominent De­ •state-interests in the Tillage favor the annexation, and believe that It will be to the beat Intereata of the resi­ dent® of the Tillage and to the city to have the extenalon of the city limit® made within the next year. Th!® plan is favored by many legislators, it 'is Lansing.—Tbe two great organisa­ tion of the fanners of Michigan, the State Grange and the Michigan Associ­ ation of Farmers' clubs, took united action In the liquor question. The State Grange, in session in Saginaw, sent a representative to Lansing to confer with the farmers’ club®, and the resolutions reported at the meeting here closely corresponded with those offered at Saginaw. , The liquor.ques­ tion was extremely prominent this year among the farmers* organisations, which have heretofore given consider­ able attention to primary elections and rate regulation. At the meeting of farmers’ clubs State Superintendent Morrow of the Anti-Saloon league was called upon to speak. He contented himself with a statement of the meas­ ures to be presented to the legislature and a recital of the progress of the lo­ cal prohibition moyetoent, but he was given loud applause when ho conclud­ ed his talk. J. T. Daniel of Essex Is chairman of the committee on temper­ ance, the other members being E. D. Oarlock of Gonoa and D. M. Beck­ with of Howell. Among the resolutions offered by the committee on state af­ fairs was one proposing a state-wide primary law for all parties. The asso­ ciation also favored good roads and recommended the formation of a na­ tional farmers* clubs* association. In his address President A. L. Chandler strongly favored revision of the tariff along protection lines. He did not touch upon the temperance question and his address was an -able discus­ sion of the importance of agriculture and an Indorsement of the grange and farmers' clubs work. He advocated the adoption of method® to Improve farms and better methods of farming, making an argument for an awakening to the business possibilities presented by the farm. Robert Gibbons of De­ troit gave an address dealing with a deep waterway from the Great Lakes to the Atlantic. Didn't Prevent These Going In.

An active campaign against the manufacture and sale of adulterated buckwheat flour has been commenced by the state dairy and food commis­ sion and already the conviction of a company has been secured. Complaint was made against the Pigeon Milling Co. of Pigeon, charging the firm with sell­ ing buckwheat flour mixed with a low grade wheat flour. Two or three other cases are in the hands ot tbe dairy spd food commission, and prosecu­ tions are liable to follow the findings of the state analysis!. "We have started in earnest to pros­ ecute the manufacture and sale of adulterated buckwheat flour," said State Analylst Robinson. "This is the best time of the year to begin such a campaign, because now the buckwheat is being brought into the mills and the mixing of It is being carried on/’ * Must Wright Run Again In Spring? Tbe new constitution Is disturbing the peace of mind of many public of­ ficials. What will happen when It goes Into effect Is a big question on which the courts will be kept busy. Atnong others the state superintendent of public instruction would like to know what will happen to him. He ha® Just been elected for a term of two years beginning January 1, 1909. But the new constitution says the superintend­ ent of instruction shall be elected at the spring election in 1909. The ques­ tion now Is what happens to Superin­ tendent Wright?

Springport—The Springport State Savings bank, with deposits ot about >99,000,- was closed by Banking Com­ missioner Zimmerman while an exam­ ination is made of its affairs. It is said that an'official of the bank con­ fessed to President BeuJami n Joy that tbe bank's funds had been overloaned to hay dealers in Vicksburg sad Matches, Miss. The official left the city then, it is said, ostensibly to try and arrange an adjustment, and his present whereabouts are unknown. Bay City.—Ftor tbe first time in local history a criminal was found guilty in the circuit court without de­ liberation by the jury, -otherwise than a whispered conversation in their seats. Lawrence Dargis, who with Frank Mayhew wa* charged with steal­ ing 200 pounds of fish, went on the stand and “gave up’* the whole deal after Mayhew turned "state’s evi­ dence" and admitted the crime. Lansing.—Chief of Police Behrendt report's that the "golden rule" policy of handling minor offenders in the po­ lice court of this city saved the public nearly $1,000 In November. During the month 80 offenders were released with­ out being taken Into court. So suc­ cessful has been the operation of the plan that the police commissioners have decided to continue It indefinitely. Saginaw.—John Thompson, em­ ployed at the Pere Marquette round­ house, had a remarkable escape from death while dumping coal from the coal chutes into an engine tended. When the heavy steel dumping pocket went up Thompson’s head wa®, caught between two enormou® iron weight* used to control the machine and he was crushed Into Insensibility.

Union City.—County Commissioner of Schools James Swain has instituted a novel rural entertainment feature In the form of a lecture course for the people living some distance from towns. He hae secured a half dosen lectures and entertainments from the lecture bureaus, and keeps each one in the county for a week. Cheboygan.—-The little village of Afton, In the southern part of Che­ boygan county, was burned.

The Nashville Lumber Co. Martin’s Lightning Proof, Better than Insurance Lightning Rods There is all the difference in the world In lightning rods. Some are as absolute protection, others amount to practically nothing at *11. If a man. wants to protect his buildings he should use the best rod. Tbe manufacturer who makes the best rod gives you a guarantee with it. The man who makes a cheap rod, which he himself has no faith in, will not give you a guarantee. I put up the Martin guaranteed rod at 15 cents per foot. If your building to struck by lightning and burned after being equipped with the Martin guar­ anteed rods, you get 1500 m cash. The fact that the manufacturers make thia guarantee shows that they know that their rod is an absolute protection against fire by lightning. Now isn’t it foolish, in order to save a few dollars in rodding your building, to use a rod which neither the man who makes it nor the man who sells it has confidence In? If you want that kind ot a rod, I will put up the ordinary copper rod st 10 cents per foot or I will sell you the steel wire rod at 2 cents per foot, but I would much rather equip your build­ ings with the Martin guaranteed rod, which I know will protect them, and on which you get a J*OO cash gwarsntce that your buildings are absolutely protected. Under any circumstances, do not allow anybody to put lightning rods on your building until you have seen me. You are invited to call and see this system demon­ strated. It is positively the only practical and safe system. C. J. Scheldt �Lil- and was most highly respected.

STATE SAV/NGS BANK/ Why Deposit Your Money in City Banks when you can get 4% on your savings right at home in the State Savings Bank of your own village 1 This was the first bank in the county to agitate and bring about the 4% rate on saving deposits. Our object in doing so was to give to the people of Nashville and surrounding community as good a de­ pository for their money as they could get in the cities, thereby keeping the money at home and building up our own industries. Every depositor who has money deposited in the banks of our village and drawing 4% there is reaping the benefits of our labor, for which we should share your patron­ age. We are not paying 4% because we were compelled to do so, but because we wished to dp so.

One of those aggravating errors which occasionally occur in every newspaper, crept into the columns ot The News in the mention we made of E. L.

He would have gone to them without a pause, though his mus­ cles were quivering with exhaustion, had not Miss Leslie chanced to look around and discover that Wlnthrope was no longer following them. For the last mile he had been lagging farther and farther behind; and now he had suddenly disappeared. At the girl's dismayed exclamation, Blake re­ leased his hold and she found herself standing In a foot or more of mud and water. The sweat was streaming down Blake's face. As he turned . around, he wiped it' off with his shirt­ sleeves. "Do you—can It be. Mr. Blake, that he has bad a sunstroke?" asked Miss Leslie. “Sunstroke? No; he's just laid down, that’s all. I thought be bad mere sand—confound him!” "But the sun Is so dreadfully hot, and I have -his shade." “And he’s been tumbling Into every other pool. No; It's not the sun. I've •half a mind to let him lie—the paper­ legged swell! It would no more than square our aboard-shlp accounts." "Surely, you would not do that. Mr. Blake!

But you can’t ex­ pect me to love the snob." As he splashed away on the return trail. Miss Leslie dabbed at her eyes to check the starting tears. "Oh, dear—Oh, dear!" she moaned; “what have T*done to be so treated? Such a brute. Oh, dear!—and 1 am so thirsty!” In her despair she would have sunk down where she stood had not the sliminess of the water repelled her. She gazed longingly at the trees. In the fore of which stood a grove of stately palms. The half-mile seemed an Insuperable distance, but the ride on Blake's back had rested her and thirst goaded her forward. . Stumbling and slipping she waded on across the inundated ground, and came out upon a half-baked mud-flat, where the walking was much easier. But the sun' was now almost directly overhead, and between her thirst and the heat she soon found herself falter­ ing. She tottered on a few steps farther, and then stopped, utterly spent. As she sank upon the dried rushes she glanced around and was vaguely conscious of a strange, double­ headed figure following her path across the marsh. All about her be­ came black. The next she knew Blake was ‘splashing her head and face with brackish water out of the whisky flask. She raised her hand to shield her face, and sat up, sick and dizzy. "That’s It!” said Blake. He spoke In a kindly tone, though his voice was harsh and broken with thirst "You’re all right now. Pull yourself together and we'll get to the trees in a jiffy." "Mr. Wlnthrope—?" “I’m here. Miss Genevieve. It was only a wrenched ankle. If I had a stick, Blake, I fancy I could make a go of it over this drier ground." "And lay yourself up for a month. Come, Miss Jenny. ^>race up for an­ other try. It's only a quarter-mile, and I’ve got to pack him." The girl was gasping with thirst; yet she made an effort and. assisted by Blake, managed to gain her feet She was still dlzxy; but as Blake swing Wlnthrope upon his back, he told her to take hold of his arm. Wlnthrope held the shade over ber head. Thus assisted. and sheltered from the direct beat of the sun-rays, she tot­ tered along beside Blake, half-uncon•efous. Fortunately the remaining distance lay across a stretch of bare dry ground, for even Blake had all but reached the limit of endurance. Step by step he labored on, staggering un­ der the weight of the Englishman and gasping with a thirst which his ex­ ertions rendered, even greater than that of his companions.

The board of supervisors of Monroe county passed a resolution requesting their representative and senator in the legislature to use their beat endeavors to obtain a revision of the drain laws, as otherwise the entire county would soon be under water. Two specially objectlonablexfeatures of the present law were pointed out: First, that un­ der the present law It is Impossible to compel a railroad company to make an opening across its tracks. Second, the present law requires a majority of the persons owning property traversed by a drain to sign a petition. This It Is Impossible to get, even where a large majority are In favor of it, because of the liability attaching. The result of the present law, as amended in 1907, has been that not a single main outlet could be touched, or a single crossing forced through a railroad.* Buckshot Is His Mark.

At length, in a neglected corner of the closet she lifted from Its peg a faded coat which she viewed with some surprise. With difficulty she recalled It. He had not worn It for years. She remembered now the day, years ago, when he had come in shivering from the cold and had re­ moved this coat for a warmer one. "Strange." she mused, "how such trivial things will cling to the mind so distinctly. I remember it was the very day I sent that note to Paul." With a strange premonition in her heart, she began to search feverishly through pocket after pogket; and at last she found. Just as she knew she should, in the inner pocket, the note she had written then. “Poor, poor father,” she murmured. "And he wouldn't have caused me a minute's suffering for worlds." Gradually her course became clear to her. “In fairness to both of us, be should have that which is his," she thought. She inclosed the note with­ out a word of explanation, and for­ warded It to him. If he wan the same Paul, the one she bad loved, be would understand. He would come to her. If not— Well, she should be thankful, even If her Idol, proving Itself clay, were shat­ tered; for then, perhaps, she should know the meaning of peace, though It were the peace of a broken heart.

Twenty years experience in tbe Strong Man for Cabinet—President* Riles “Stand Patters"—Laird of Sklbo Says Steel Industry No Longer Needs Protectlon^-Makes Hie GuesHonors Uncomfortable. Washington. Dec. 22 —Andrew Car­ negie, famous for the millions be made In tbe steel bowtneex and for Ma views ’ on economic questions, 'made a most entertaining if not instructive witness -before the houae ways and means committee Monday in connection with . the proposed revision of the tariff. An article on tbe tariff, especially . in regard to the steel schedule, writ­ ' ten by Mr. Carnegie recently appeared in a monthly magazine. Owing to the statements made in that article. It be­ came the,basis for the questions asked by the members of the committee when the bearings on the steel sched. ule were held. Jokes But Avoids Figures. Although he waa on the atand for nearly eight houra, Mr. Carnegie laughed and joked good-naturedly throughout. He exasperated several of the "atand patters" with his epi­ grammatic replies, praised the genius of Charles M. Schwab, urged the com­ mittee to accept the testimony of Judge E. H. Gary as conclusive, and told . several funny stories He avoid­ ed figures, however, to such an extent that it is doubtful 1f tbe tariff framers are any more enlightened on the steel question than they were before Mr. Carnegie was sworn in by Chairman Payne. Mr. Carnegie's principal contention wm that the steel industry needs no more protection, that It has reached a point in Ita development where the American manufacturers can compete with the world under free trade condi­ tions. While he claimed that the cost of labor and production of steel are leaa in thia country than In the other countries producing steel, Mr. Carnegie gave no figures to support his conten­ tions. Wants Them to Take Gary's Word. He said that Judge .Gary told the committee that tbe United States Steel Corporation can get along with­ out a tariff on ita products, and that should be sufficient evidence for the committee to take off the duty on steel and iron. Mr. Carnegie’s testimony was most unique and interesting and he fre­ quently caun''d peals of laughter in the crowded room, the joke often being at the expense of the chairman or some other member of the committee. He declared emphatically against combi­ nations, or “trusta,” and said that he had nothing to dorwith the sale of the Carnegie Steel Company to the United States Steel Corporation. He charac­ terized the'"stock gambler" as being the worst citizen a country could have and said that he never had one asso­ ciated with, him in business. Wanted to Question Questioners. Mr. Carnegie evidently enjoyed tbe cross-fire of questions put to him by both Republican and Democratic mem­ bers of tbe committee, but frequently expressed the regret that he could not , cross-examine the members of the committee. He seemed to devote his efforts' to making Chairman Payne and Messrs. Dalzell and Fordney of Michi­ gan uncomfortable. He called Mr. Dal­ zell “John." and either gave evasive replies to his questions-or dealt with him in such a manner as to turn an evidently serious discussion into a humorous one. The member from Pennsylvania soon subsided into silence; Mr. Fordney, after having aaked Mr. Carnegie many hypothetical questions, gave a somewhat elaborate account of his views on protection and then asked the smiling Scotchman: “What do you think of my opinions on this point?" f "I think you are entitled to hold them,'* was the quick rejoinder, while the spectators joined the rest of the committee in a hearty laugh at tbe ex­ pense of Mr. Fordney.

It is thought the new company will take about ten years to cut the 3,000,000,000 feet of lumber. . To aid In this colossal task mills wfll be builL a fleet of 20 lake steamers built or bought, and railroads constructed. Tbe constituent companies that went to make up the new corporation are tbe Virginia Lumber Company, the Edward Hines Lumber Company, the Cook & O'Brien Lumber Company, and Se Seine Lumber Company.

Across the Jangled a rope-like creeper, one end of which he bad fastened to a branch higher up. He flung down ths free end to Wlnthrope. "Look lively. Pat," he called. "The sun's most gone, and twilight, don’t last all night in tiwnre parts. Get the lliie around Miss Leslie, and do what you can on a boost" "I see; but. you know, Che vine Is too stiff to tie.” Blake stifled an oath and jerked the end of the creeper up Into his hand, down again It was fastened in a bow- -Quite, thank yon. But how about Mr. Winthrope's ankle?” "Holl fide m far as tho trees. I can’t squeeze through with, him, though." -I shall' walk all the- way." put In Wlnthrope. "No. you won’t. Climb aboard." re­ plied Blake, gnd catching up his club he stooped for Wlnthrope to mount his back. As he rose with his burden Miss Leslie caught sight of his coat, which still lay in a roll beside the palm trunk. "How about your coat, Mr. Blake?" she asked. "Should you not put It on?" "No; Tm loaded now. Have to ask you to look after It. You may need it before morning, anyway. If the dews here are like those in Centra? America they are d-darned liable to • bring on malarial fever.” Nothing more was said until they bad crossed the open space between the palms and the belt of jungle along the river. At other times Wln­ thrope and Miss Leslie might have been interested tn the towering screw­ palms. festooned to the top with climbers, and in the huge ferns which they could see beneath the mangroves In the swampy ground on their left. Now. however, they wpre far too con­ cerned with the question of how they should penetrate the dense tangle of • thorny brush and creepers which rose before them like a green wall. Even Blake hesitated as he released Wlnthrope and looked at Miss Leslie's costume. Her white skirt was of stout duck; but the flimsy material of her waist was Ill-suited for , rough usage. "Better put the coat on unless you want.to come out on the other side in full evening dress," he said. "There’s no use kicking, but I wish you'd hap­ pened to have on some sort of a jacket ' when we got spilled.” "Is there no path through the thick­ et?" inquired Wlnthrope. "Only the hippo trail, and it don't go onr way. We’ve got to run our own line. Here’s a stick for your game ankle." Wlnthrope took the half-green branch which Blake broke from the nearest tree and turned to assist Miss Leslie with the coat. The garment was of such coarse cloth, that as Wln­ thrope drew the collar close about her throat Miss Leslie could not forego a little grimace of repugnance. The crease between Blake's eyes deepened, and the girl hastened to utter an ex­ planatory exclamation: "Not so tight, Mr. Wlnthrope, please! It scratches my neck." "You'd find those thorns a whole lot worse," muttered Blake. • 'To be sure; and Miss Leslie fully appreciates your kindness," interposed Wlnthrope. "I do Indeed. Mr. Blake! I'm sure I never could go through here without your coat." “That's all right Got the handker­ chief?" "I put it in one of the pockets." “It'll do to tie up your hair.” Miss Leslie took the suggestion, knotting the big square of linen over her fluffy brown hair. Blake waited only for her to draw out the kerchief before be began to lorce a way through the jungle. Now and then he beat at the tangled vege­ tation with his club. Though he held to the line by which he had left the thicket, yet all his efforts failed to open an easy passage for the others. Many of the thorny branches sprang back into place behind him. and as Miss Leslie, who was the first to fol­ low, sought to thrust them aside the thorns pierced her delicate skin until her hands were covered with blood. Nor did Wlnthrope, stumbling and hob­ bling behind her, fare any better. Twice he tripped headlong Into the brush, scratching his arms and face. Blake took his own punishment as a matter of course, though his tougher and thicker skin made his injuries less painful. He advanced steadily along the line of bent and broken twigs that marked his outward passage, until the thicket opened on a strip of grassy ground beneath a wild flg tree. ”B> Jove!" exclaimed Wlnthrope, “a banyan!" "Banyan? Well, if that's British for a daisy, you've hit It,” responded Blake. "Just take a squint up here. How’s that for a roost?" — Wlnthrope and Miss Leslie stared up dubiously at the edge of a ued of needs gathered in the hollow of one of the huge flattened branches at Its JanetWn with the main trunk of the banyan, M feet above them. "Win not the mosquitoes pester us here among the trees?" objected Wln­ thrope. "Mom must kava blown 'em away. X haven’t seen any yet" "There will be millions after run­ bat I bet they keep below “Now, Miss Leslie, get aboard and we’ll have-you up In a Jiffy,” he said. "Are you sure you can lift me?” asked the girl, as Wlnthrope slipped the loop over her shoulders. Blake laughed down at them. "Well. I guess yes! Once hoisted a fellow out of a 50-foot prospect hole—big fat Dutchman at that. You don't weigh over 120.” . He had stretched out across the broadest part of the branch. As Miss Leslie seated herself in the loop he reached down and began to haul up on the creeper, hand over hand. Though frightened by the novel manner of as­ cent the girl clung tightly to the line above her headland Blake had no dif­ ficulty in -raising her until she swung directly beneath him. Here, how­ ever. he found himself in a quandary. The girl seemed as helpless as a child, and he was lying flat. How could he left her above the level of the branch? “Take hold the other line,” he said. The girl hesitated. "Do you hear? Grab ft quick, and pull up hard If you don't want a tumble!" The girl seized the part of the creeper which was fastened above and drew herself up with convulsive en­ ergy. Instantly Blake rose to his knees, and grasping the taut creeper with one hand reached down with the other to swing the girl up beside him on the branch. "All right. Miss Jenny.” he reas­ sured her as be felt her tremble. "Sor­ ry to scare you. but I couldn't have made It without. Now. If you’ll just hold down my legs we'll soon hoist his ludship.”' He had seated her tn the broadest part of the shallow hollow, where the. branch joined the main tr.unk of the I flg. Heaped with the reeds which he | had gathered during the afternoon it I made such a cozy shelter that she. I at once forgot her dizziness and fright. Nestling among the reeds, she leaned | over and preened down on bis ankles I with all her strength. The loose end of the creeper had ! fallen to the ground when Blake lifted her upon the branch and Wlnthrope was already slipping Into the loop. Blake ordered him to Uke it off and send up'the club. As the creeper was again flung down a black shadow swept over the jungle. ‘ "Hello! Sunset!" ^called Blake. "Look sharp, there!" "All ready." responded Wlnthrope. Blake drew In a full breath, and be­ gan to hoist. The position was an awkward onegand Wlnthrope weighed SO or 40 pounds more than Miss Les­ lie. But as the Englishman came within reach of the descending loop he grasped it and did what he could to ease Blake’s efforts. A few mo­ ments found him as ulgh above the ground as Blake could raise him. Without waiting for orders, he swung himself upon the upper part of the creeper and climbed the last few feet unaided. Blake grunted with satisfac­ tion as he pulled him in upon the branch. •< "You may do. after all,” be said. "At any rate, we're all aboard for the night; and none too soon. Hear that?" "What?" "Lion, I guess— Not that yelping. Listen!" The brief twilight was already fading Into the darkness of a moonless night, and as the three crouched together In their shallow nest they were soon made audibly aware of the savage na­ ture of their surroundings. With the gathering night the jungle wakened into full life. From all sides came the harsh squawking of birds, the weird cries of monkeys and other small crea­ tures. the crash of heavy animals moving through the jungle, and above all the yelp and howl and roar of beasts of prey. After some contention with Wln­ thrope, Blake conceded that the roars of his Jion might be nothing worse than the snorting of the hippopotami as they came dut to browse tor the night. In this, however, there was small comfort, since Wlnthrope pres­ ently reasserted bls belief in the climbing ability of leopards, and ex­ pressed his opinion that, whether or not there were lions in the neighbor­ hood. certain of the barking roars they could hear camo from the throats of the spotted climbers. Even Blake's hair bristled as bls Imagination pic­ tured one of the great cats creeping upon them In the darkness from the far end of their nest limb, or leaping down out of the upper branches. The nerves of all three were at their highest tension whep a dark form swept past through the air within a yard of their faces. Miss Leslie ut­ tered a stifled scream and Blake brandished bls club. But Wlnthrope, who had raught a glimpse of the crea­ ture’s shape, broke into a nervous laugh. "It’s only a fruit bat,” ho explained. "They feed on the banyan flga, you know." la the roaetlos from this fains alarm, both ssm rsinstf and bepax to jdeld te the effect* of the trams sotom the on how the prospective leopard was mostly likely to attack.Miss Leslie remained awake for two or three hours longer. Naturally she was more nervous than her companlonB. and she had been refreshed by her afternoon's nap.. Her nervous­ ness was not entirely due to the wild beaata. Though Blake had taken pains to secure himself and his companions in loops of - the creeper, fastened to the branch above, Wlnthrope moved nboat so restlAaly tn his sleep that the girl feared he would roll from the hollow. ■ At last her limbs became so cramped that she was compelled to change her position. She leaned back upon her elbow, determined to rise again and maintain her watch the moment she was rested. But sleep was close upon her. There was a lull In the louder noises of the jun­ gle. Her eyes closed, and her head sank lower. In a little time it was ly­ ing upon Winthrope’s shoulder and she was fast asleep. As Blake had asserted, the mos­ quitoes had either been blown away by the cyclone or did not fly to such a height. None came to trouble the exhausted sleepers. CHAPTER VI. ceded the dawn.- were sleeping their soundest, when a sudden fierce roar followed Instantly by a piercing squeal caused even Blake to start up in panic. Miss Leslie, too terrified to scream, clung to Wlnthrope, who crouched on his haunches, little less ov^rodme. “It’s Only a Beast That's Killed Some­ thing Down Below.” Blake was the first to recover and puzzle out the meaning of the crashing In the jungle and the ferocious growls directly beneath them. "Lie still,” be whispered. "We’re all right. It’s only a beast that killed something down below us." All sat listening, and as the noise of the animals in the thicket died away they could bear the beast beneath them tear at the body of its vlcti^n. "The air feels like dawn.” whispered Wlnthrope. "We’ll soon bo able to see the brute." "And he us," rejoined Blake. In this both were mistaken. 'During the brief false dawn they were puz­ zled by the odd appearance of the ground. The sudden flood of full day­ light found them staring down into a dense white fog. “So they have that hero!" mut­ tered Blake—“fever-fog!" “Beastly shame!” echoed Wlnthrope. "I’m sure the creature has gone off." This assertion was met by an .out­ burst of marls and yells that made al! ■tart back and crouch down again in their sheltering hollow. As before Blake was the first to recover. "Bet you’re right," he said. "The big one has gone off, and a pack of these African coyotes are having a scrap over the bones." "You mean jackals. It sounds like the nasty beasts.” "If it wasn't for that fog I’d go down and get our share of the game." "Would it not be very dangerous, Mr. Blake?” asked Miss Leslie. "What a fearful noise!” "I’ve chased coyotes off a calf with a rope; but that's not the proposition. You don’t find me fooling around in that sewer gas of a fog. We’ll roost right where we are tin the sun does for IL We’ve got enough malaria in us already.” "Will it be long. Blake r asked Wln­ thrope. "Huh? Getting hungry this quick? Walt till you’ve tramped around a week, with nothing to eat but your shoes.” "Surely, Mr. Blake, it will not be so bad!" protested Miss Leslie. "Sorry, Mias Jonny; but coooanut palms don’t blow over every day, and when those nuts are gone what are we going to do for the next meal?" "Could we not make bows?" aug- "Could we not make fire by robbing sticks?" said Wlnthrope. recalling his suggestion of the previous morning.

That the contract does not stand Is the decision of the supreme court. The Allis-Chalmers Company was the low­ est bidder for the contract for which blds were received July 8 last. Later a proposition was submitted to the supplies committee by the Westing­ house Machine Company, and was ac­ cepted by a divided vote and the con­ tract awarded. Attorney General Bird lent the use of his name to contest the action of the board on bshalf of the Aills-Chal­ mers Company, but In the court below the bill filed was dismissed. The su­ preme court reversing the decision be­ low hsld that the lighting commission did not proceed according to law and that the Westinghouse Machine Com­ pany's - proposal was not lawfully be­ fore the lighting commissioners, as the purchase was one clearly within the provision of the charter requiring notice and sealed proposals, It being said: "To hold the action of the commission in this case as lawful would open the doors to all the unde­ sirable results which the authorities hold the wise provisions of such legis­ lation were Intended to prevent” The commission Is perpetually en­ joined from entering Into the con­ tract Must Run for Office Again. It has been decided that State Su­ perintendent of Public Instruction Luther L. Wright, who was elected In November and sworn in January 1, must run for office again tn April if he wishes to retain the position. This Is because the new state constitution provides that the superintendent of public instruction shall be elected in the spring of 1909. and every two years thereafter. This section of the constitution is operative without the aid of a statute and the election must be held as provided. A different situ­ ation prevails with reference to the election of members of the state board of education and state board of ag­ riculture, who are made elective in the spring. With reference to these of­ fices the constitution provides that the legislature shall make provision for the election of members in the spring, and before such an election can be held there must be the necessary legis­ lative action. In view of the provision of the constitution, it is impossible to give immediate effect to a law provid­ ing for elections so that no provision can be njade for the election of mem­ bers of the board of agriculture or state board or education at the spring election.

The Nashville Lumber Co. Martin's Lightning Proof, Better than Insurance Lightning Rods There is all the difference in the world in lightning rods. Some are an absolute protection, others amount to practically nothing at all. If a man wants to protect his buildings he should use the best rod. The manufacturer who makes the best rod gives you a guarantee with it. The man who makes a cheap rod, which he himself has no faith In, will not give you a guarantee. I put up the Martin guaranteed rod at IS cents per fool. If your building is struck by lightning and burned after being equipped with the Marlin guar­ anteed rods, you get >500 in cash. The fact that the manufacturers make this guarantee shows that they knew that their rod is an absolute protection against fire by lightning. Now isn't it foolish, in order to save a few dollars in rodding your building, to use a rod which neither the man who makes it nor the man who sells it has confidence in? If you want that kind of a rod, I will put up the ordinary copper rod at 10 oents per foot or I will sell you ths steel wire rod al 2 cents per foot, but I would much rather equip Jour build­ ings with the Martin guaranteed rod, which I knew will protest them, and on which you get a >500 cash gearaetee that your buildings are absolutely protected. Under any circinaaHBSeS, do not ailow anybody to put llghtain<* rods on your building until you have seen me.

Los* of Ufe There Reported • to Be Heavy—Tidal Wave Sweep* Over Part of Catania—Widespread De­ struction Feared. Flushing. N. Y., Dec. 29.—The de­ fense scored two material points in the evidence developed in the trial yesterday of Thorntons J. Hains, which the defendant’s counsel assert dis­ proves the charge that tbe author was a principal with his brother, Capt. Peter C. Hains. Jr., in the killing of William E. Annis of the Bay side Yacht club In Little Neck bay. An exhausting cross-examination of the two witnesses for the defense left the main points of their testimony un­ shaken. and Thornton Hains returned to Long Island jail last night declaring that the evidence proved hi* inno- Rome. Dec. 29.—The three provinces Gf Cosenza, Catanzaro and Reggio di Calabria.- comprising the department of Calabria, which forms the south­ western extremity of Italy or "the toe of the boot”'were devastated yester­ day by an earthquake, the far-reaching effects of which were felt almost throughout the entire country. The town of Messina, in Sicily, was partly destroyed and Catania was in­ undated. In Messina hundreds of house* have fallen and many persons have been killed. Owing, however, to the fact that telegraphic and telephon­ ic communications were almost com­ pletely destroyed,' it Is impossible to obtain even an approximate idea of the vast damage done. Reports Indicate Great Havoc. The fate of entire regions within the sone of the earthquake is. un­ known. but reports received here in­ dicate that the havoc has been great and the destruction to life and prop­ erty more terrible than Italy has ex­ perienced in many years. The uncertainty of the situation for many thpusands has filled all Italians with tbe deepest distress, for they still have fear that the day may come when that part of tbe country which seems to have been most blessed by nature will be destroyed by the blind forces of that same nature which nearly nineteen centuries ago over­ whelmed Pompeii and Herculaneum. Tidal Wave Sweeps Catania. . All reports show that tbe present catastrophe embraces a larger area than the earthquake in 1905. The tidal wave which followed the earth shocks on the eastern coast of Sicily sunk vessels and Inundated the lower part of Catania. It is known that a number of people were killed at that place, but the rushing waters carried everything before them and caused such an indescribable coni'alon that It will be impossible for some time to estimate the damage and the lives lost. • Relief Quickly Sent The Italian government proceeded energetically to relieve tbe widespread distress, concentrating at the points of greatest need troops and engineers. Members of the Red Cross were dis­ patched to various places and camps with provisions were immediately pre­ pared. all available railway lines and warships being used for their trans­ port. Thousands Dead at Messina. The city of Messina has suffered probably more than any other place, tbe latest information coming indirect­ ly from that quarter stating that twothirds of the town was destroyed and several thousand persons killed. The steamers Washington and Montebello, which were in that harbor, later pro­ ceeded to Catania, loaded with in­ jured, who.were so stupefied by terror that they seemed unable to realize what had happened, simply saying that it looked as though the end of the world had come. Five steamers left Catania for Messina to assist in're­ moving the injured from that place, who are reported to number thou­ sands. Five Hundred Boats Bunk. At Catania the panic-stricken peo­ ple. fearing new shocks, absolutely refused to re-enter their houses and are camping on the squares which are free from water, and the surrounding country. The tidal wave sunk 500 boats there and did great damage to several Targe vessels and -teamers. Including the Austrian steamer Buda. Not only did Catania suffer from the effects of a tidal wave, but a similar body of water inundated the bandsome streets of Messina which flank the harbor, covering them with a thick la/er of mud which rendered more difficult tbe succoring of the-wounded, many of whom could be seen lying under the wreckage. It Is reported । that the village of Faro and Ganzlrri, adjoining Messina, have disappeared. The effects of the earthquake were ag­ gravated by fire through an explosion of gas, the flames which swept along several of the streets adding terror upon terror. . Went to Look at Property. That Thornton Hains did not go to Bayside to kill Annis, but to look-at property, was testified to by Charles R. Weaver, sales agent for the Hains Concrete Mixer Company, who further declared that it was .at bis insistent Invitation that the Hains brotheri on August 15 postponed a trip-to Sandy Hoot and went to Bayside to Inspect real estate there. Weaver almost sobbed on the stand when he said that he felt responsible for sending the Hains brothers on "the journey that ended in the death of Annis. The mental condition of Capt Hains pre­ vious to the shooting wa* testified by Mr. Weaver, who asserted that from the actions of tbe army captain be believed him to be irrational. Strong Point for Defense. The second material point brought ont by the defense was drawn from John Tierney, a garbage collector, who said he was an eye-witness to lhe tragedy. Tierney declared that Capt. Hains had ceased firing before his brother ran down to the float, and the defendant did not draw hls/revolver until Charles Roberts, a club member, advanced toward Capt. Hains with the captain's revolver in his hand. Tier­ ney said that Thornton Hains did not point his revolver at any one on the float, but called for an officer to arrest his brother. He did not see Mrs. An­ nis on the float. A cross-examination did not make Tierney waver in the essentials of his first direct testimony. VIRGINIA CITY IS SHAKEN.

Creller, a worthless shoe­ maker, who has been located in the building formerly used as a hotel — the Charlotte House—tor the past couple of months, was sentenced to a year in the Detroit Hopse of Cor­ rection by Judge Smith Wednesday afternoon. Mrs. Stetler, who pleaded guilty to living with Creller, was sen­ tenced to six months at the same re­ formatory. Creller formerly lived in Barry county and during his resi­ dence there was found guilty of a ser­ ious crime against his step-daughter and sentenced by Judge Smith to twenty years in prison. Last election be went into the first ward voting booth and asked to vote for Bliss. It transpires that Creller wa. pardoned by Gov. Bliss during his official term. The fortunate part of the affair is the fate of the Stetler children, who will be taken to the state school. Tbe ill­ ness of one of the children prevented their going the early part of the week. Mrs. Stetler is the wife of a man living in Indiana, but the has been m this vicinity for some lime.—Charlotte Re­ publican. ________________ (Continued from Page One.) Now is there any good reason why the company should not be able to pay its losses without more frequent as­ sessments? Wouldn't it have done the same thing with any other honest man as secretary ? Do you think that it is absolutely necessary in order for tiie company to continue in business, to perpetuate one man in office for more than a quarter of a centbry ? Oh, fudge. Do you blame Mr. Rogers for de­ siring to hold the office for another term ? And another term ? And anotner term ? If you were bolding tiie of­ fice, wouldn’t you hate to give it up ? Don't it look like a pretty fair sort ot job? AH the reason in the world why the present incumbent should hang on like a puppy to a root. But looking at It from the point of view of the policy-holder, is there any good or valid reason why Mr. Roger’s should hold a life tenure of the office of secretary of tiie wind-storm com­ pany ? Isn't a quarter of a century about as long as a man should reas­ onably expect to hang on to one job? Do you really think that tiie company owes Mr. Rogers another term ? And another ? And another ? Don't ynu really think that it might be a good thing to get a little new blood into the company? Mr. Rogers is pretty well fixed financially. And he ought to be, hadn't he? You evidently thought that Lt might be a good thing to try a new president. We believe it might also Im* a good thing to try a new secretary. . We believe Mr. Smith would be the right man for the place. Mr. Smith is a young man, but not too young. -He is 44 years old. He is a son of the late D. W. Smith, one of the first settlers of Castleton township, and its first postmaster. He is wide-awake and a hustler. He is as full of energy and ginger as any man in Barry county. He has proven himself a capable man on the board of supervisors. He has proven himself an exceptionally cap­ able and competent man as secretary for tiie Barry & Eaton Insurance company. He has held that office for twenty-two months. During that lime there has i>een added to the member­ ship of tbe Barry & Eaton a net gain of two hundred and fifty members, and approximately a million dollars of insurance. He has not done this alone, any more than Mr. Rogete has built up the wind-storm company alone, but he has stirred up the old bones until the company is on the gain instead of slipping backward, as it had been doing for several years before he went in as secretary. He has urged the agents to gel busy. He has looked promptly after tbe busihesH of the company. His <x>oks are In the finest or condition and the affairs of tiie company are carefully looked af­ ter. He is lhe sort of a fellow who does things. He takes pride in his work and he does it just as it opght to be done. He is a genial, pleasant gentleman, a companionable, wholesouled fellow, whom it is a pleasure to know Tbe people who know him best know that he would make the wind-storm company an official of whom they would be proud. Every­ thing connected with the affairs of tbe'company would be open to the in­ spection at any time of any of the officers, the board of directors, or of any individual member of the com­ pany. He would have nothing to hide. He is not a hider. Tbe j»eopie of Cas­ tleton know that Bert Smith is square and honest, and that he can Intrust­ ed in any position. And when the people who are work­ ing for Mr. Rogers intimate that Mr. Smith is not competent', they are do­ ing a contemptible piece of work, worthy only of the ward heeler of politics. Mr. Smith is perfectly competent to hold this position, or a much more important one. He has graven himself so in the Barry & aton, and if elected will make the people who are now making these statements look silly, by the excellent wav in which he will fill lhe position. Some of the workers for Mr. Rogers are saying queer things and doing Sneer things in their intense anxiety >r his re-election. They have said, some of them, that Mr. Smith, if elect­ ed, would move the office of the secre­ tory to Charlotte.

The annual statement which is published according to law tells much or little, as the ease may be, but any member of the company has the right to know .exactly how every penny of his money is spent, even it-he does only pay an assessment of ten cents on a hundred occasionally. The annual statement, made last December shows 4‘Salaries and fees paid to officers and directors, •3,048.09.

We dont want to do it, bnt we have to. The postal authorities say that no weekly newspaper must be sent to a subscriber who Is more than a year in arrears, unless he expressly orders it to be continued, with a definite promise to pay all arrearages at a specified limo. The postal authorities are enforcing this ruling and Tbe News, well as all other weekly .papprs; must comply-with it. Conse­ quently if you area year or more in ar­ rears your copy of the News will miss you next week. sure. Now don’t get mad at us, forthat is unjust. We can't help it. You may get mad at Uncle Sam, if you want to. for he is the fellow who makes the ruling, but by far the better way Is to pay up the arrearages and have lhe good old News continue to come to you right along.

Quick PLAY FAIR THIS YEAR. Start the new year right by paying all of your debts; if you can't do that fix them so that they "will draw Inter­ est for the man to whom you owe them. Thai's the honest way, and it’s the best way. Do you realize that in order to carry you on his books your mer­ chant has to borrow money and pay interest on it? Do you realize that you are the man who ought to pay that interest? Not every man can pay all of his debts when they ought to be paid, not even an editor, who ought to have plenty of money, hut every man who is thoughtful and honest and just will pay interest on what he owes' after an account has run as longM It ought to as an open account. If everybody would do this, retail mer­ chants could sell goods at so close a price that the mail order houses would go out of business in a year, because they couldn’t begin to compete with the home merchant. They don't do it now, quality of goods considered, and they would be forced to give up even the bluff if everybody would pay their home merchants for goods on delivery, as they have to do with the mail order houses.

A life filled full of service was brought to a close when death took from our midst on December Wlh the late Dr. Higbee. The bare reading of his obituary, the casual recollection of the dates of his birth, his gradua­ tion from tbe medical department of the University of Michigan, his com­ ing to the village of Potterville, his marriage, his death—these of them­ selves can convey very little to the unknowing reader. To know the worth of the man one must realize the terri­ ble handicap at the early age of six, the long struggles for an education, the 33 years given over io hard, pa­ tient, intelligent service in the inter­ ests of bls suffering fellows. It is no exaggeration to say that lie coined his very strength and energy to pur­ chase relief for his many patients. He gave himself without stint to the com­ munity in which he made his home. He ushered into life a member of near­ ly every home for miles around. It was lht» self-forgetfulness in the inter­ ests of others, this devotion to his family,-this loyalty to the village and tiie county in which he lived, that made his loss one that touched not only his immediate family and close friends, but almost the entire county. His was an example of a man who sowed better than he reaped, for on March 10th last, at tbe age of 02, a time in life when a man usually looks forward to a let-up in tbe hard strug­ gle of life that he may enjoy the fruite of his toil, he was token with a disease that spelled death with every day that it permitted him to live in suffering. Tbe help he brought through the many years to his patients was denied him. Such a life and such a death make our faith strong that this life is will but a part of a greater life where ■ against 'Mr. Smith from Battle place look as well r. and Mrs. their work done < Colorado, ill see and (rood job of laundry doos. to all our friends and enrtoinerr.
