Horsey, the aviator, was killed attempt to break his own war! tltudc record of 11.474 feet, set last Monday. Horsey was descending from a flight made In the face of a gile wblqh had caused most of the otter aviators participating Ln the meet to ■MnAan their efforts for the day. He had come down to 563 feet of the earth In safety and then his machine tailed. The aeroplane nemed to have been caught In a vortex of contrary air cur­ rents Ln a treacherous atmosphere and was whirled over and over aa it r-ume tumbling toward the earth. Hoxsey was dead when taken out parently his' life had been crushed out by the weight erf the motor, which was wrenched from Its position in the aeroplane by the force of the impact with the earth. Reads of Molsant*s Death. Horsey's death came as a coinci­ dence to that of John B. Moisant, which occurred In New Orleans a few hours before. Shortly before be begun his fatal ascent Honey was in his aeroplane hangar reading an account of the ddpth of Moisant. After carefully noting the conditions under which Moisant had been flying, he said: “He must have become weary from too much driving^ Made Flight Against Protest. All of the other members of the Wright team protested when Hoxsey announced that he was going to reach an altitude of 12,000. After he as­ cended the wind Increased in vio­ lence and created a “swlss cheese" atmosphere, the most treacherous meteorological condition with which aviators have to contend. Despite this handicap, Hoxsey reached an . altitude of over 7,000 feet tn a struggle upward lasting two hours. Then be was seen to turn and come back toward the earth in long slanting curves, with now and then a spiral dip. Body is Badly Mangled. A score of officials of the meet rushed to where the broken airship was lying, but so tangled was the wreckage that it .required several minutes to get out the body. Hor­ sey was planted firmly in his seat with his arms around the levers. The aviator's body woe terribly mangled and broken; bls left jaw was fracture!, and his goggles were shat­ tered and the fragments of glass driven into his .eyes. All of the ribs on his right side bad crushed. A broken strut, one of the wooden stanchions between the upper and lower planes, had been driven through bls body under the lowest rib. Moisant Hurled to Death. New Orleans. Jan. 3.—John B. Moisant, native of Chicago and one of the world’s most daring and success­ ful aviators, was killed by being thrown out of a Bleriot monoplane. The accident happened at a time when Moisant apparently bad his ma­ chine under complete control. One puff of wind tilted the planes, the seat assumed an angle that m~.de It Impossible for the aviator to keep his place, and he shot down head firsL a hundred feet, landing on his head and breaking his neck. Falls After Twelve-Mils Flight. The tragedy happened at Harahan, 12 miles west of New Orleans. At the time he was hurled from bis seat Moisant was circling about in a high wind, over ground he had never seen before, trying *o make a landing. He had flown out from this city without mishap, and the field in which he was killed was one that had been marked out as a special course for’ the Michelin trophy. Moisant was pre­ paring to fly for that trophy, hoping to wind up the year with an addition to his already numerous records. Body Not Marred by Fall. When he fell several workmen were the first to reach him, but he was dead before they came. The doctors who examined the body said death must have occurred wltfiin ten sec­ onds after Moisant struck the ground. There was not a mark on the body.

What a splendid law was passed In 1908 for the benefit of the jxior min so that’ his children could get a high aqhool education the nine as those of the rich man who can afford to give his children a better education! Does this help the poor? I nay that it does not. I say that I this law helps Ute well-to-do farmer , just as most of the laws passed by I <?ur lawmakers are of greater benefit to the well-to-do instead of the poor. This tuition law only makes the poor man’s taxes higher than before, and decreases the expenses of the wealthy man who has children whom he wishes to educate 'beyond the 8th grade. Il was supposed when this law was first advertised in the papers that it was expressly for the benefit of tbe poor who had children to educate. You may canvas Barry county and you will find that about nine, nut of ten perijonH directly benefltled tty this law are ableto pay the tuition of their] own Children. 1 nave investigated in 24 districts and have discovered^ that about one out of every ten pupils needs the tuition. The poor man has his property in right, and at tl • same time has a mortgage upon it ’ uich he is trying to pay off. In addition tv this lie is paying taxes on something which is Iwnefitting a well-to-do man. The well-to-do man, on the other hand, often has property which he shuns from the supervisor, but still’ he has gall enough to ask for tuition for his children. If his valuation is, for instance. >1800, he may dodge the ( taxes, and if he has two children who passed the eighth grade and takes ad­ vantage of the free tuition law, he has 120 additional or the sum h»’ would have been taxed on the >1800 to live on. But, let a poor man or woman ask for a few dollars worth of provisions or something to wear and they would never hear the last of it. I believe that if this law had been designed expressly for the benefit of the poor man's children’, the poor would not have been in such a hurry to send their bills to tbeschool boards as the well-to-do people have l>ef>m I have more respect than that for the poor. Lay all the grafting on thepoor you can, they can .stand it. Why? Because they have no opportunity to protect themselves. The law. as it stands today, is a disgrace to the poor liecause the law was made for the well-to-do man, and shouldered upon the poor man. How many poor children are there in the country schools who pass thru the eighth grade? I assure you that if there is one, he or she has grit enough to obtain more education, if it is de­ sired, without the aid of the poor man’s taxes. When you do find such men and women, they are the ones who take the lead because they are accustomed to progressing in the world. This, no one can deny. In a recent conversation with a well-to-do man, he stated that he bad paid his taxes, and he “cussed” about high taxes. Little did he think that the poor man was paying part of his taxes. Why need be grumble about high taxes? If this law remains the same it has only started the taxes, for no children will graduate in less than four years now. and these sums will be greatly increased as students are added to the list each year. 1 do not want anyone to think that 1 nm against education. 1 am not. I am willing to pay ray part to main­ tain good schools at any cost. No man ever heard me complain or ob­ ject to high taxes if they are for the good df tbe community. But I do not like to help pay taxes for the man who is able to pay his own. Make a law exempting the poor man from paying taxes on property he does not own. Give the child the primary money he or she draws from the state. Then you will do more for the poor than you can under the present free tuition law. Very truly yours. Frank Charlton.

This is the “off Season” in Clothing WHEN many retailers take it for granted that there will be “nothing doing," and are content, not so with this progressive store, however. Experience has taught us that it is better to make any sacrifice to keep things moving, than io suffer business to come to a standstill. It is bad policy to pack goods away from one season to the next. Styles change, and most men know what’s what. We run no risk of piling -up clothing that’s out of date and have no capital. This is the course of procedure we adhere to, but here are the factsand figures—they need no “puff­ ing", they will do their talking most convindngly.

Mrs. Schenk's lawyers declared that they would concede that John O.

But, and they emphasized this, Mrs. Schenk did not place the poison In the water nor In certain medicines which they also admitted had been filled with slow death draughts. They said they would show that "there was evolved a gigantic conspiracy to make Laura Farnsworth Schenk a victim of circumstances” by relatives of her husband. ■ TAFT TALKS ON PHILIPPINES Tells Military Order of Carabao Will Be Long Time Before Islands Are Free. It Washington, Jan. 9.—President Taft generalized about his attitude toward Philippine independence in an In­ formal speech at the annual dinner of the Military Order of the Carabao. Incidentally, be was installed as a member of the order. The Order of the Carabao, named for the buffalo, which is the Philippine beast of burden, is composed of com­ missioned officers of the regular and volunteer service who honorably served in the Philippines during the Spanish war. The burden of the president's ra­ marks was to the effect that, while he was unwilling to say that the Philip­ pines never would be 'independent, "in my judgment, we are likely to re­ tain them for a considerable time.” GOV.

WE REVER SUBSTITUTE Von W. Furniss Gets from Six Months to Five Saturday last Judge Clement Smith sentenced Jay Sweet of Kalamo, con­ victed nf larceny from a store, to a term in the Ionia reformatory ’ The sentence is an indeterminate one, giv­ ing Sweet slx.months to five years at, the Ionia institution, the lecommendation of the judge being that he serve one year. The News believes Judge Smith has done the eminently' right thing In this case. It has been shown to him con­ clusively that Sweet was wrong, at least physically and probably men­ tally, and he withheld sentence until he could be positively sure in’his own mind that he could do just the 'right thing. No man wants a sick man persecuted, but there is one thing to be taken into consideration in this case, and that is that if Sweet is in condition to require medical assis­ tance, he ha is going to one of the best places in the state in which to" receive it. The Ionia institution has a fine corps of physicians' and if a patient is ill he can have .tfeere as good medical service and attention as at any place in Michigan. Many people think that Sweet is not mentally responsible for all of his acts, and it is barely possible that this is true in a sense, but at the same time the fact remains that many of his neighbors and others who know him well will feel that the very best possible thing has been done under all the circumstances. VILLAGE POLITICS. There seems to be more doing this spring in a political way than is usual so early in the season. Already there are four candidates in the field for the Republican nomination for treasurer, which office has been s<J acceptably filled the past two years by L. E. Slout, who is barred by law from run­ ning again. The four candidates prominently in sight are O. G. Mun­ roe, James Fleming. C. V. Richard­ son and Harvey Bennett. All are good men and any one of them would undoubtedly make good in the office, which is really the best paying one in .the village, and makes a fairly decent job when combined, as it usually Is, with that of township treasurer. For the office of clerk.-Frank Purchis, jr., has shied his castor in the ring, the place now being filled by E. L. Schantz. Mr. Schantz has made an excellent official, but has not yet de­ cided whether he will be a candidate this spring or not. For the office of president there are no heads in sight as yet, and as the position is purely an honorary one is not usually gone after with a galling gun. There Js consid­ erable speculation in regard to the office of street commissioner, which, while it is an appointive office, inter­ ests about as many of the voters as any of the others, involving as it does the expenditure of a large number of their good simoleons. Taking it all around, the caucuses this spring firomise to be rather interesting afairs. were dealroyed on tilts site, and 35 cemeteries have had to tie removed, these having contained 2,800 bodies. The city of New York had w nay <15 for the removal, of each of these bodies. The new reservoir made nec­ essary the closing of 68 miles of high­ ways, and the construction of 37 miles of new. - Eight churches were among the buildings destroyed. The new watershed will be patrolled by a police force of 750 men. The number of neople who have had to move to make way for this great undertaking is 2.900, and 11,000 men are now at work on the vast project. It is surely running a good second as an engineering feat to the Panama'canal. KILLED BY FALLING TREE. William Ames of Chester Meets Untimely Death. A distressing accident occurred In Chester township Tuesday afternoon, by which William Ames lost his life in a horrible manner. Ames and Vern Brings were engaged io chop­ ping wood on the farm of the former when a soft maple which they were felling suddenly and without warning split and fell, pinning Ames in such a manner that it was necessary to dig away the earth from underneath his prostrate form before llie unfortunate man could be released. Immediately after'the accident Briggs hastened to the nearest neighbor, • about half a mile distant, and secured assistance, but the work of'releasing the victim was no small task, and he died a short time after being removed to his home. An examination disclosed tinfact that one hip had been injured, one leg brokt n in three places and se­ vere internal injuries had been sus­ tained, and the concensus of opinion seems to be that it was the latter which caused his death, superinduced by the shock and exposure. Mr. Ames regained consciousness for a short time before being released, but soon sank into a coma from which he never recovered, death ensuing about 1 o’clock, two hours after the acci­ dent. ■ Mr. Ames was one of the best known farmers in his section of the county and has been a resident of that local­ ity for many years. He was 54 years of age, aud leaves a wife and five children.—Charlotte Republican. GRANGE. Maple Leaf grange will be held at Maple Grove hall January 21. Fol­ lowing is tiie program: Song—Grange.

It became a settled fact this week that Judge Smith will have no oppo­ sition in the republican primaries to succeed himself as circuit judge next spring. When be came to town Monday he-was given a petition bear­ ing the name of every republican at­ torney in the city, which means that Mr. Peters has concluded not io be­ come a candidate at this time. This will be pleasing news to the hundreds of Eaton county people who have long cherished the hope that the Hastings jurist would succeed himself without opposition.'

FHE BATTLE IN THE SENATE ON GOVERNOR'S APPOINTMENTS WENT AGAINST KIM. Th* Reorganization of the National Guard Calls for Laaa Frills and Mor* Efficiency. (Special Correspondence.) Lansing, Mich., Jan. 14. 1911. Gov. Osborn was defeated In hl* first skirmish with the state senate, all of the recess appointments of ex­ Gov. Warner being confirmed with the exception of Dr. George E. Potter, who Is replaced on the Detroit Board ■of Health by Dr. J. B. Kennedy, who was turned down by Gov. Warner for Dr. Potter. The two big fights oc­ curred on labor commissioner and member of the railroad commission. Dick Fletcher, the Warner nominee and present labor commissioner, was given s tight squeeze, winning out by a count of 17 to 14, and George W. Dickinson, the Warner appointee, won over James Bice by a vote of 22 to 9. Gov. Osborn is not satisfied, however, and will immediately get busy gath­ ering evidence on both these men on which he will base charges for re­ moval after the legislature adjourns. The governor will also proceed to probe into a number of state depart­ ments and Institutional boards, with­ out regard to what action the legisla­ ture takes along the some line, and if he finds evidence which he believes •xlsts he will proceed to • effect a cleanup single banded after the legis­ lature gets out of the way. Osborn Men Confirmed. Her* are the Osborn appointments ■confirmed: Gilman M. Dame, dairy and food commissioner. Dr. J. B. Kennedy, Detroit, member Detroit health board. W. J. Hunsacker. Saginaw, member state fish commission for six years. Dr. Frank E. Sharp. Port Huron, member state dental board. Allison L. Wright. Bad Axe. member board of control School for Deaf and Dumb. George H. Turner, Coldwater, mem­ ber board state public schools. Roys J. Cram, Detroit, member board corrections and charities for nine years. Franklin P. Sayre. Flushing, mem­ ber Industrial School for Boys. F. Bruce Smith, Saginaw, member board employment Institution for Blind. Osborn Men Rejected. These Osborn appointments were re­ jected: James Bice, Marquette, to be rail­ road commissioner to succeed George W. Dickinson. , Perry F. Powers to be labor com­ missioner to succeed Richard H. Fletcher. Dr. Leartus Connor, to be :member Detroit board of health. Dr. George F. Burke, Detroit, to be member state board dental examin­ ers. Dr. C. W. Hitchcock. Detroit, to be ■ember Pontiac asylum board. O. L. Millard. Hersey, to be mem­ ber board of control. Home for Feeble Minded. T. G. Stevenson. Ionia, to be mem­ ber board Soldiers' Home. Dr. J. B. Griswold. Grand Rapids, to be member same board. Arthur H.“Vandenberg. Grand Rap­ Ids. to be member state library board. Appointments by Gov. Osborn of E. T. Boden. Bay City, was tabled. No action was taken on Lawton T. Hemans' appointment for Democratic member railroad commission. Repeal Bills. Many of the measures recoommended by Gov. Osborn in his mes­ sage have already been Introduced. Among them are the bills repealing the acts providing for a state board ■of arbitration and the creation of the «alt and oil inspection departments. These were fathered by Rep. Ogg of Detroit Others provide for a tax on mineral reservations, two-cent fares In the upper peninsula, the combina­ tion of the Mecosta-Newaygo and Muskegon-OceangJudicial circuits and for workingmen's compensation to say nothing of several bills providing for the repeal of the mortgage tax law. Th* Governor's Cabinet Gov. Osborn will model his admin­ istration of state affairs and the trans­ action of executive business along national lines. One of the first things he will do will be to form a cabinet to be composed of the elec­ tive state officers and the heads of the various state departments. Fre­ quent meetings of this cabinet will be held so that the governor may have the advice of these men on the business of Michigan and that plans may be formulated and discussed which will bring the machinery of government to the highest state of efficiency. This is a distinct inno­ vation tn the administration of the executive office and. the result will be watched with great Interest New Pardon Board Members. Gov. Osborn has selected Fred J. Russell of Hart and Dr. J. B.. .Bradley of Eaton Rapids to fill the vacancies oa the pardon board caused by the en­ forced resignation of Dr. J. H. Rumer and Rowland C«nnor. Judge Russell was formerly a circuit judge on the Muskegon-Oceana circuit and was also a member of ths constitutional con­ vention. Dr. Bradley was auditor­ general for four years and he ran Gov. Warner so dos* for a aomlnatloa In 1908 that a recount was neces­ sary. Both appointments hav* given a great deal of satisfaction at the ca»ttol. with the result that a comptenonslv* plan, which meets with the approval of both the governor and the men Ln the service, was evolved, which will be Introduced in ths legislature Ln the form .of a bill. The bill will provide for lopping off the gold iace men and putting the work of handling the state guard in the bunds of the men who are active­ ly In the service. • -This will mean a saving of several . thousand dollars ]>er year in addi­ tion to bringing the handling of the guard right up to a war footing at all times. Under the plan an .proposed, there will be about fourteen less staff of­ ficers than at present. The brigade commander will be the immediate cqmmander of the state troops the year around, but Instead of his staff taking charge of the departments as has been proposed it was decided by the officers that the best Interests of the service required that the adju­ tant's department, as the department of records, and the quartermaster's department As the department of sup­ plies should be placed on a. more per­ manent basis. The plan provided for will reduce the ranks of the officers in charge from colonel ,to major. The furtbei suggestion was made that in case th* state troops are called out for service. If the brigade staff had to remain at their offices the brigade commander would be without their asrlstanoe, and if they went ^he state military depart­ ment would be without trained officers to send forward supplies and mors tfpops In case of need. • The governor was informed by Maj. Earl Stewart, of Grand Rapids, member of the legislature, who acted as spokexman for the party, that In the main the plan was tn accord with his policy as expressed In his mes­ sage. and that it waft more in regard to details tnan anything else upon which those present wished to offer some suggestions. Maj Stewart fur­ ther expressed tne opinion that th* officers present desired’ to have s law drafted which will place th* or­ ganization as nearly as possible upon the basis of organization of the reg ular army. Work will be started on the bill by Maj. Stewart and Maj. Ganssc-r of Bay City at once. Liquor Legislation. . There Is little chanc* of very much liquor legislation this session. The drys will merely ask for a few amend­ ments to the local option law making more clear some of Iks provisions and th* wets will concentrat* their fight on giving cities horn* rule In th* mat­ ter of closing hours and th* observ­ ance of holidays other than Sundays and election days. The wets will also have Introduced measures to prohibit the making of wine and cid*r In dry counties. Pliny Marsh, lobbyist for the antl-saloon league, expresses him­ self as well satisfied-that the liquor committee In the senate Is a fair one, but Is not so enthusiastic about th* house committee, although be wants to give the committee a chance to act before expressing any definite opinion. Work Convict* on Roada. Rep. Austin has fathered a bill which will occasion a great deal of discus­ sion before final disposition is made of it. It provides for working con­ victs from the various state prisons on the roads, boards of supervisors who wish to adopt the plan making formal request on the wardens for men. the counties to pay for the keep of the men whll* they are employed at road building In the county. Gov. Osborn favors legislation along this line, but It has many bitter opponents also and there is sura to be a warm fight on It The Houses Will Junket It Is extremely probable that th*r* will be a junket by the legislature after all. On Investigation it was found that the passage of legislation would be hampered more by commit tee being away all the time Inspect­ ing state institutions than it would ! be by the legislaure off all at one* and the committee going away at the same time. It was then provided in the house that only the chairman should go, but that is not acceptable to the senate. Decrease of Employes. Speaker Baker has inaugurated a regime of economy in the house. Th* number of house employee has been dut from 48 to 34 and th* new speak­ er promises that It will not be In­ creased. However, in the past, sim­ ilar statements have been made but occasionally after the opening of th* session resolutions have been shoved through Increasing the number and before the end of the session the same old number would be reached. The Democratic Members. The Democratic party baa a larger representation In the legislature than It has bad since the W». In the house are 18 members of th* minor­ ity party and tn the senate three. About the only sign of activity, from a party standpoint, which the minor­ ity Is showing is that It has agreed to vote for John T. Winship for United States senator when the elec­ tion takes place on Jan. 17. Of course, Charles E. Townsend will be elected by the legislature In accord with the wish of the people express­ ed at the primaries, but the Demo­ crats will remain loyal to their can­ didate. Woman Suffrage. Rep. D. A. Green of Pontiac has in­ troduced In the house a resolution providing for the submission to the people of a constitutional amendment which gives women universal suf­ frage. The measure has the backing of the Federated Women's Clubs of the state, the State Grange and many other organisations and is sure to b« backed strongly in the legisla­ ture. The organized women of the state are planning to maintain a permanent lobby here for th* purpose of urging the measure and a warm time 1* expected. L. C.

Clifford Kenyon, the LASTS JUST ONE WEEK LONGER ■This is the “off Season” in ClothingWHEN many retailers take it for granted that there will be “nothing doing,” and are content, not so with this progressive store, however. Experience has taught us that it is better to make any sacrifice to keep things moving, than to suffer business to come to a stand-still. It is bad policy to pack goods away from one season to the next. Styles change, and most men know what’s what. We run no risk of piling up clothing that’s out of date and have no capital.

I’ll eat my hat!* My man sited up tbe speaker at once. He was a big west­ ern man free of speech as he was with his money. His name’s Bill Ham­ ilton. and he s a big Montana mine owner. They call him colonel out there. They struck up a friendship right away, had a few drinks together, and my man got enough out of him to get on the trail of the story we been lookin' for without Hamilton in the least suspectin' what be was after. 'I sent a dozen of the smartest men on rather auspicious.” “Connell had better be careful wbs he does." returned Rutherford. “He’d better be very sure of his facts." "Why did you leave rhe handling of the affair to him?" •‘Well. he*d make a good scapegoat If anything went wrong.” answered Rutherford with cynleal Indifference. Now. as it happened. Colonel Bin Hamilton was not so guileless as he looked After the. first exclamation and tbe first few confidences over the drinks which he gave to the plain clothes man- who had so adroitly, sought to get his story on that event­ ful night. Colonel Rill shut up like a clam. The intetest of the stranger in the story was suspicious. Colonel Bill knew a great many things that ho bad not told, and did not intend to tell un less it was necessary. Therefore, be soon got rid of his new frierfd and went to his room to think ft .over. He was morally certain that Gonnly and the man wfiort he had known as a boy as George Fordyce were one and the same. Fortunately be had always liked Fordyce, and he was not dis­ posed to do anything that would in­ jure film. Of course he had'beard, as had ev­ eryone else in the United States, of .the remarkable campaign of George Gormly for the mayoralty of New York. He had not bad a great amount of personal Interest in thei matter, _ __ bowevei. But when he. __________ Iidentified Gormly with Fordyce, the affair at once engaged his keenest attention. Since the day he had left Kill Devil Camp, he bad never heard one word of either the man or the woman. He bad supposed, as- everyone else had, that they had perished In the storm, and although their bodies had never been recovered there were plenty of reasons to account for that What wgs he to do? Was h.e to see Gormly. or Fordyce as he called him, and, put him on his guard? Or was he to wait and be governed by clr> cumstances? This was not an easy problem to decide; but Colonel Bill Hamilton finally came to the conclu­ sion that his best game was tbe walu Ing one. Besides he liked to play a lone hand, and he felt every confi­ dence that he co»ld do-it. Meanwhile he determined to fortify himself with such evidence as ha could secure, and at tbe proper time, -If the story was ferreted out and an attempt was made to make use of It, he would, as he phrased it, “butt into the game!"' He set the telegraph to work, therefore, and presently receiv­ ed from his partner In Butte by ex­ press a tin box full of very private official documents. Thereafter he amused himself by following the prog­ ress of the campaign and doing some highly profitable local Investigating on his own account, the result of which filled him with joy and satisfaction. The demonstration of the alliance between the Gotham Freight Traction company and the Sachem society, the publication of the membership of Hal­ dane and hja friends In the traction company, the exhibition of It* tnlquitous processes, came off according to schedule. Such a storm of wrath and Indignation rose In the public breast after the disclosure as had never, been equaled In any political campaign th* force out to Wyoming to rustle up old Inhabitant* of Kill Devil Camp, which has long since been blotted off the map. It seems that this Gormly, or Fbrdyce. or whatever his name is. once run away with a miner's wife, first robbln' him of bl* pile and shoot­ in' the miner." The little group of men listened to the chief's startling story in a fever of excitement and surprise, which Con­ nell greatly enjoyed. "Now, we knew that he never came to New York with no woman,” he ran on. "We’ve got hl* whole history from the day he landed here, every minute of IL We reasoned that the woman must have deserted him, or be her. Naturally she'd make for one of the big cities, especially If she had the money. We believed that she had it; for be bad practically none when he landed. He went to work as a clerk In a store at five dollars a week. A woman like that’d be pretty sure to turn up on the town somewhere soon­ er or later. We’ve got a detailed his­ tory of everyone of ’em here and else­ where. If she went down to the gut­ ter, she” be dead. It she went up to the parlor, she'd be alive still.

Only the presence of mind of the trainmen averted an awful wreck on the Fere Marquette train from Detroit as It went into Grand Rapids Mondayevening. The engineer and fireman became frightened because the emer­ gency brakes would not work and ramped from the train as it was enter­ ing tbe city.tbe engineer being instant­ ly Killed and the fireman terribly in­ jured. The. train, running wild, was tearing toward the station at terrffiic speed, when thg conductor and other I trainmen set the hand brakes and finally brought the train to a slop. Tbe passengers were terror-stricken, but no one was injured except the two unfortunate men who jumped Waiblngtan, Jan. 17.—Speaker Can­ non came out loner In a new battle over the rules. A* a result of tbe clash many of the stirring scene* of the famous fight of last March were re­ enacted, Insurgents and Democrats showing a united front to the Repub­ lican regulars. By a vote of 145 to 126 the combined forces rallied to the support of Mr. Fitzgerald (Dem.. N.Y.) and sustained blru In bls appeal from the speaker's ruling. The fight developed as the result of the second attempt to use the new rule which gives the house power to discharge a committee from further consideration of a bill that has been referred to It The Insurgents and the Democrats believed that this rule .was Iron clad; that aa soon as the consid­ eration of bills by unanimous consent had been concluded the bouse was bound by the new rule to take up the motions to discharge committee* from the custody of the specified bills. . Csnnon Invites Clash. • When the moment arrived, however. Speaker Cannon gave recognition to Mr. Hull of Iowa, chairman of the mili­ tary affairs committee. Mr. Hull moved that the house resolve itself Into a committee of the whole and take up tbe .consideration of the mili­ tary appropriations bill. Mr.,Fitzgerald insisted upon the consideration of a motion to discharge a committee, which was upon the cal­ endar. Speaker Cannon declined to give Mr. Fitzgerald the preference, but said that he would be glad to consider a point of order. If Mr. Fitzgerald want­ ed to make one. The Democratic member declared that he did not have to make a point of order; that hb was the right to recognition under the new rule with­ out the raising of any point of order against the speaker’* action. Insurgents, Democrats and regulars jumped Into the free debate that fol­ lowed. Upon the speaker's refusal to recognize Mr. Fitzgerald, the latter was finally forced to make a point of order against tlte taking up of the army appropriation bill. The speaker bad his ruling on the point prepared in advance and read from manuscript He held that the new rule did not-make It mandatory upon the house to take up the mo­ tions to discharge committee; that It simply made such motions in order, If the house desired to take them up. Upon this basis the speaker held that Mr. Hull and the army appropria­ tion bill had the right of way, and that the motions provided fcr under the new rule could not be interposed. Fitzgerald Challenges Cannon. ’T appeal from the decision of the chair," cried Mr. Fitzgerald. Then followed an acrimonious de­ bate upon the ruling. When the vote.finally taken up on the appeal from Speaker Cannon's decision. 23 Insurgents and all but one of the Democrats present voted against the speaker. The result was the de­ feat of his ruling by a vote of 145 to 126. Fourteen members answered pres­ ent, but did not vote because of pair* with absent member*. The Republicans who voted with the Democrats, against the speaker, were: Cary, Wisconsin; Cassidy, Ohio; Davidson, Wl*con*ln; Fish. New York; Goode, Iowa; Gronna, North Dakota; Haugen, Iowa; Hinshaw, lowa^. Hol­ lingsworth. Ohio; Hubbard. Iowa; Kendall. Iowa; Kopp, Wisconsin; Ku*terman, Wisconsin: I unroot, Wiscon­ sin; Madison.

Mr. Saunders of Virginia was the only Democrat voting against Mr. Fitz­ gerald in the appeal from the chair’s decision. The result of the vote is to settle definitely the status of the new rule.

Furniss Nelson Kittinger, Incarcerated In County Jail, Brings Sult Against Justice Wellman and Alex. McKenzie. ‘ PROLOGUE Nelson Kittinger, living on what is known as the old Emery farm south of the village, is taking life easy at the county boarding house at Bantings, and will probably remain there as long as Alexander McKenzie, the complainant, also living just.south of the' village, is willing to pay for his bogtrd. Kittinger’s Imprisonment baa resulted from his refusal to allow Mr. McKenzie to remove half a mow of hay.'which he had purchased of the former owner of the farm last fall, be­ fore Kittinger took possession. Mr. McKenzie began replevin proceedings and as Kittinger refused io pay the judgment of six cents and court costs amounting to $6.50, he was lodged in jail,-where he will remain at least six months, .providing - Mr. McKenzie is willing to pay Sheriff Ritchie 50 cents a day for his'board. At the end, of six months Kittinger may commence proceedings to get out under the pro­ visions of the poor debtor’s law. SBQU&L JJoU- would you like to be locked up in a stingy old county jail and be compelled to take your day light served up in little squares surrounded by frames of real United States Steel Corporation.product? J^dt to be able to get out to trade “bosses” or have 3 ay'other of those innocent amuse­ ments? Well, guess you would i>e real downright angry about it. And so is Nelson. And Nelson proposes to get good and proper even for thia insult to his manhood and his dignity, too. He wants money enough to buy him “one of them there big red ottermobiles,” and he .wants Justice. Geo. Wellman and Alexander McKenzie, to pay it. Nelson, who is nice and fat and likes pie, which he don’t get very often at Harry Ritchie's boardin' house down nt Hastings, blames Well­ man and McKenzie for bls incarcera­ tion. and he proposes to get square. And he thinks while he is at it he might just as well get|square good and So on Saturday last he sent nporary landlord, Sheriff Rit­ chie, down to’ Nashville to serve very formidable documents on Wellman and his co-conspirator. asking them to soothe the pain of his wounded feel­ ings with a lovely little five thousand dollar plaster, said plaster to consist of divers and various yellow-backed pieces of parchment such as passes current at the banks. In other words, he wants real money for his damages, real or imaginary, and has brought suit, through! his attorneys, Colgrove & Potter.- against Wellman and Mc­ Kenzie, the papers being served Sat­ urday. The case will probably come up for a hearing at the next term of circuit court. In the meantime, while the defendants will probably lose a lot of sleep and undergo great an­ guish of mind, it will not be necessary to lake up a popular subscription for them until the case is decided. And Kittinger probably won't spend any great portion of that ®5,000 until he gets it. HAVE YOU SEEN THAT NOSE? If you have met Vic Furniss on the street during the past day or two yqu probably have. No, that isn't a big toe nail Vic is trying to graft -on his proboscis, but-is really what was for­ merly a part of-his nose, which he is trying to induce to grow back where it belongs, so as not to mar his manly beauty. There are at least a hundred stories going around town as to hov( it happened, and many admiring glances have been cast at Mrs. Fur­ niss since that wreck of what was once a nose has appeared on the streets, but we have it on gnod authority that she didn't have a thfngto do with it. There was no rolling pin or broom handle connected witfy the matter (or t^e nose either, for that matter) in any way. It happened, if we have the straight of it, at a time when the big ex-sheriff was alone with his maker, and if you don’t want to take Vic’s word for how it happened you can let it alone. And you can also let the nose alone until it gets well. Vic claims he jumped on the handle of a barley fork and the handle flew up and hit him on the nose, which is something no one else in town has nerve enough to try. We don’t be lieve it. It looks more as though the tines of the fork had committed the assault. In fact, it looks more like a barley-corn scar than barley-fork, but we can't prove it, and so we don’t dare say it. Anyway, we're not afraid of him now, and won’t be as long as that nose is as tender as it is now. GOOD FREIGHT BUSINESS. The freight business of the Michigan Central at this point is steadily in­ creasing, last year showing a good gain, in spite of the fact that there was no fruit shipped out last fall. There were 382 full car loads of freight shipped out during the year, besides the ordinary parcel freight. There were 383,832 pounds of dairy products shipped, none of which was in car­ loads.- The total freight out aggre­ gated 20,422,418, as against 15,110,670 for 1909, a net gain of considerably over five million pounds. CREATING DISCUSSION. The proposed new amendments to the charter of the Barry A Eaton in­ surance company are creating consid­ erable discussion among the members of the company. The test vote which was made here a year ago showed the attendance at that time against the proposition by a small majority, but there is do question hut that senti­ ment in favor of advance assessments is growing among the thinking mem­ , bers of the company, and that even­ tually it will be incorporated in the statutes of the company.

(Copyright. 1SJ0. by American Press elation, j Amo N 1862 congress passed a law ap preprinting mouey for tbe estub ilzhment of colleges of sgrlcyltare and mechanic arts Today mere are slxty-seveo such inslltutiuiu Id tbe United States Tbe establish meat of the agricultural colleges open­ ed up an entirely new field of educa­ tion. The study of science and tbe ap­ plication of that science to the prob iems of everyday life began to take the place of the study of classics. Edu eating a man merely to have him edu­ cated begnn'to go out of style, and tbe truer education that better fits a man to tackle tbe problems of life took Its place. . The growth of the agricultural col­ leges was- slow at first, and not until within tbe last fifteen years have they I STUDYING FARM MACH IN MKT AT AN AGRI­ CULTURAL COLLMGM. really come to fill tbe place for which they were designed. At first tbe Idea of educating a farmer was laughable to many people wbo rejoiced In a lit­ tle learning. Even the farmer him­ self did not realize tbe advantage of a college education to a man who must make a living from tbe soil It took a good many years to bring people to re­ alize that college education is as val­ uable for a farmer as for a doctor or a lawyer. The main difference Is that the law compels a man to get a. col­ lege diploma before he starts to prac­ tice medicine, while he may start farming with nothing but a team and a plow. Even at tbe present time there are many men both on the farm and in tbe cities who doubt the value of a college education for the farmer. Many a farm boy is squarely con­ fronted with tbe problem of choosing between four years In college or start­ ing to farm at once Four years Is a long time to'a young man. Fifteen hundred to $—<J00 Is a large sum of money to him. To s|>end both for a college education requires a great deal of courage and faith In tbe future. The amount of money necessary to ' pay four years’ expenses In college will enable the young man to start farming on a rented farm. The four years will. If he is industrious, enable him. to earn enough to make a good ■Ized payment on a farm of his own. If be goes to college he will have nothing at the end of the four years but tbe experience -and knowledge tie has gained there. Is It worth it? j I have put this question squarely to dozens of men in their last yearzat an agricultural college. Without ex­ ception they say that-ft Is worth the outlay. Not one regretted the time or the money which be bad bartered for bls education. Few of them placed It on a money basis alone, but even from that standpoint they considered that the chances were in favor of the college man. The boy wbo starts farming for him­ self without any education will run up against a good many snags which tbe college num will miss He will learn by experience many of tbe things which the college man learns In school. In doing so be will pay much dearer for his knowledge. The old prejudice against “book, farming" is fast disappearing. People ere coming to realize that book farming Is merely the fused experience of incressful farmers everywhere, explained and Illumined by tbe light of science. Prob­ ably In no one respect la the advan­ tage of the coDege man more clearly apparent than In the case 'JI soil fer tlliry. Long after tbe untrained..man has begun to notice and wonder at the decline of bis crop yields tbe maa wbo has studied the science of soil fertility will be raising undlmlnisbed erope. Tbs art of keeping up tbe soli fertility cannot be learned from ths neighbors, for they have trot prac­ ticed It II cannot be learned from father or grandfather, for in their day tbe fertility of tbe soil was a*ostdered inexhaustible. The success of tbe agricultural col­ lege graduate eaimot be measured Io mosey alone Tbe agricultural eom- Branlties Just DOW r«*<i Halm mneb more than ttoey need men who ran ■Imply rank* money on their own farms. It is oecemuiry for tbe agritultaral .college graduate to succeed on bls own farm, of course tils every move is ckately watched by critical Deighborw. Eveo • tbe shadow of a failure starts a cboira of “1 told yob ,eo." Success ou bls own farm Is tbe first essential to the young man who would be a leader. Given that for backing, be can do almost‘anything be wants to with bis community. Farmers have a vast deal of respect for. the man who can do things. Their prejudice against college farming Is lost Id ad­ miration for tbe results achieved by tbe college farmer. If be advises or­ ganising a club they are willing to Join in and help If be tells them tbe school needs reorganizing they are willing, to be convinced. They may even consent to bringing two or three schools together and using tbe money saved to birC better teachers. Tbe In­ spiration of one man’s success and the energy Imparted by him is sufficient to start a whole community to thinking. Once you get a man to thinking, there is no need to worry ful-tber about him. He will take care of himself. If an energetic young farmer with an agricultural education could tx» placed In each township throughout tbe farming sections tbe results would be an enlightened agriculture that would be the envy of the whole world. A leading educator recently mhde tbe statement that three live agricultural college graduates could in ten years increase the value of the land ‘in any agricultural county $20 per acre. That sounds incredible, but It is literally true. Tbe community ■ would become so progressive that It would be worth $20 an acre more to live there. Tbe charge has been made that ag­ ricultural college graduates do not go back to the farm. The facts do not bear out this assertion. While the percentage varies, It 1b safe to say that fully 60'per cent of the graduates go directly to the farm. Tbe others go Into some work closely related to farming. In my acquaintance with young men Just finishing college I have known of very few who were not anxious to go to forming. A good many of them do not do so because of lack of capital. They have spent all their money In college, and It looks to them like uphill business to start farming without a cent. They are overwhelmed with offers of salaried positions at salaries of from $1,000 to $2,000 a year to start with. Experi­ ment stations, agricultural colleges, agricultural papers and manufacturers of agricultural products are all looking for agricultural college graduates. Many of the meu go Into some work of this kind until they can save money enough to start farming. Of the college graduates who do take up farming as a business ths greater number rent the home farm or go Into partnership with their re­ spective fathers. This Is tbe Idea! way for a-young man to get a start Under such favorable, circumstances he cannot help but succeed.- Often, however, there are enough brothers at home to occupy all the land. Tbe young college farmer must look else­ where for a Job Every year the agri­ cultural colleges are receiving a larger number of cnIK for farm managers Many of these offers are exceedingly liberal* They come for the most pun from fanners wbo wish to retire from active work and nt the same time do not wish to sell or rent their farms.

He has asked for the appointment of a Joint committee to Investigate the Michigan State Fair with a view of having the state ac­ quire- thl- iproparty. The contention A PLAN 18 BEING FORMULATED of tbe senator, while he does not criti­ cise the present management .of thq FOR THE COMPLETE REOR­ fair, Is that the educational features GANISATION OF THE STATE are entirely subordinate to the side­ JUDICIARY. show and race track, features, h is his Idea that the state should conduct the fair and that the agricultural and THE TAXATION OF MINES WILL Industrial features should be the big BE THRESHED OUT NEXT part of the fair., The plan Is receiving considerable support In both houses IN FEBRUARY. and Gov. Osborn is In favor of the plan. THE LEGISLATURE ANOJTS WORK The Control of the State Fair—The In­ come Tait and Other Matters of interest to the People. . (Special Correspondence.) Senator Mike Moriarty, of Crystal Falls, is now the dean of the senate In tbe place - long occupied by ex­ Senator Charles Smith, of Lake Lin­ den. Mike ta all of the old guard left; and once ln"a while be gets a little lonesome -for tbe old days when Al Doheriy, Johnny Baird. Andy Fyfe and others were in tbe beydey of their legislative careers. This Is the fifth term for the. senator from Crys­ tal Falla, and If there is anything about the legislative game that Mike doesn’t know it Is hardly worth men­ tioning. One of his chief fortes Js getting patronage for his district. No matter bow the other senators scheme to get the pap. Mike always confes through with three or tour jobs for constituents of bis. He always keeps In close touch with what goes on, and any one who can slip by with anything which tn any way hurts the Interests of this district Is entitled to a prize. One Important piece of legislation which is beidf framed up by some of the strong men of both the senate and house, is a bill which provides for the complete reorganization of the Ju­ diciary of the state from Justice up to circuit Judge. Under the plan which is now being formulated the judicial circuits of the state will be changed, and the num­ ber reduced and the circuit judges' compelled to rotate around tbe cir­ cuits, those who have but little work helping but those who are now over­ worked. Most Important, however, will be the abolition of the present system of Justice courts, and the substitution of a county judge system, the judges to receive a salary but no fees, and to have jurisdiction in cases involving up to $500 in civil suits. The bill will be fought bitterly by the Justices and tbe judges, but it has exceptionally strong support in both houses. Senators White, Miller and F. D. Scott being the principal sup­ porters In the upper house, and Reps. Warner, Flowers and Verdler being the leaders In the movement in the lower. . ■ The Confirmation of Hernans. Senator James A, Murtha enlivened the session when the confirmation of the appointment of Lawton T. Ha­ mans camo up by offerings a resolu­ tion demanding that tbe governor mako good or confess the falsity of the charges made were true Mr. tee during the last campaign. The stand of Senator Murtha waft that if the charges made were true that Mr. Hernans , was not a proper man for . the rallrpnd commission and that if they were not true he was entitled to a vindication. Senator Wat­ kins suggested that as the law made it obligatory on the governor to ap­ point a Democrat he had picked out the best one he could find, de­ spite his past record and the matter ended largely In a Joke, the resolu­ tion being tabled. The Liquor Committee. Rep. Chas. H. Waters, of Sagi­ naw. heads the house liquor com­ mittee for the third time and Pliny Marsh, the lobbyist of the an­ ti-saloon league doesn’t like tbe proposition very well. 'Waters Is distinctly a wet and doesn’t care who knows It.

Smith and being late home that night we heard music at the court house and went over. They had a large phonograph up in the tower and a basket of reconin. There were four people up there having a night watch. They came down and let us in and we stayed by them until after tbe /.ojngs were over. Talk about celebrations in country towns: they are silly compared with the way they do things down here. At about half past eleven o'clock the lights wenttaut ail over the city, but sky rockets lighted the heavens and every one that owned a gun or any­ thing that he' could get any noise out of was doing his best. Al mid­ night tbe lights were turned on and it was as light as day: bells rang, steam whistles blew, a train of cars from the west came in and blew the. longest blast I ever neard. We had to stop our music for we could not hear it at all, so you see it leaves an impression not easily forgotten. Most of the home people have orange trees, grape fruit, roses, palms and live oak covered with moss. The court house yard bus very large live oak trees covered with moss so thick that you can hardly see the building a block away. The trees are the roosting place for the turkey buzzards at night.. There are six churches here, and one high school. The building is as good as ours, but larger. 'The school numbers 550 pupils. There it. also a school for the colored population with about 200 bare foot boys and fftfrls. Lots of the boys and girls go bare foot the year around. It was so warm in our tent yesterday that Mr. Dean rigged up a table in the shade of the house we are building and we ate out­ side in comfort. There is no life for rue that I know of where one cun en­ joy himself more than camping out in Florida, providing they have a good tent as we have. Our tent is 12x16 feel, 4| footwalls, good matched floor, swing doors, 4 inch strips run­ ning around the tent under the eaves to support th? tent and to hung things on, good cook stove, water in our yard which comes from a flowing well. The well flows 370 gallons per minute and .furnishes tire city with water. Il is very good water, but some warm, being nearer that other place we bear so- much about. Thirteen hundred miles makes a good deal of difference, especially in winter time. In the post office here there are 726 lock boxes which rent- at 45 cents per quarter and the people who do not have one are to l>e pitied. They have to line up and take their turn to. get their mail, for tbe office doses at 6 o’clock ». in. and if they receive mail at-5 o’clock and do not get it looked over yop can not get it until the next day. Oh you southern ways! We went to the ex­ press office after a package last night: it was 6:10 and we were late; will have to wait until Monday. There is a S25 fine for hunting on Sunday, and no fishing Is allowed in town onSunday. Our Michigan bunch went to a Darkie church last Sunday night. We were the only white trash there. They had very good preaching and danyly ‘singing. They are grtat^ tMjggars—they passed the box to us first and after that the darkies had to go up and lay their offering on tbe table; those that hung back got called down. There-was no chance for lead nickles from Sambo, for the preacher grabbed them one by one ae an ostrich swallows oranges. . I forgot to mention our trip to Orlando. We left here al 10:00 a. m. and got to Orlando 10:45. Mr. Brooks was al the depot nod was quite sur­ prised to see us. We went home with him and after dinner Mr. Brooks and C. W. Smith got a rig and we went out to Mr. Smith’s orange groves. He, has one orchard of 8 acres and one of 10 acres. He has taken good care of them and they show their keep­ ing. He has a pumping plant on each one, so be can give them all the water they need at any time. To see the oranges lay on the ground would surfirise most any one The trees were oaded and I saw one large limb that could not stand the stntin and had broken off and was lying on the grbund. He gave us all we could carry back in a sack of grape fruit, oranges, tangerines and mandarins. Mr. Smith has the nicest variety of all kinds of fruit in his yard at home I ever saw. He has banana*, oranges, grape fruit, tangerines, mandarins.' a tea tree, peas in bloom and some most ready to eat. strawberries nearly rips, potatoes ripe and some just coming up.

The hobo graft in Barry county will undoubtedly be wiped out by a plan which Prosecuting Attorney Potter laid before the board of supervisors and which was endorsed by them. In view of the immense cost involved in taking care of hoboes in this -county, and the fact that tbeeffective policy of sending them to Detroit work house was ignored by justices recently, Mr. Potter has issued the following notice to the M justices in this county. Mr. Potter deserves the high­ est credit for devising what will un­ doubtedly be the means erf effectively stopping the hobo graft. The thou­ sands of dollars paid out in the past for escorting, welcoming, transport­ ing ami feeding hoboes could have been otherwise applied in providing something worth while for the coun­ tv, or better still have been kept by the taxpayer^ and there would un­ doubtedly be no deficit In the treas­ ury today. In his communication to the justices, Mr. Potter says in part: ‘•This item of expense aggregates an amount about equal to all of tbe other criminal expenses of the county combined. It was suggested that in the future no warrants be authorized by the Prosecuting Attorney except in those cases where upon a plea of guilty the defendants in these cases would lie sent to tbe Detroit House of Correction. Upon going over the statute it appears that while pos­ sibly the Justice of tbe Peace has authority to issue a warrant without the authority of the Prosecuting At­ torney of the county, that he cannot co'llect bi* fees without such consent. I, therefore, request that in ail cases in the future that the festive "Hobo” be sent the Detroit House of Correction instead of accommodating him for a few days in the countv at the expense of the taxpayers.”—Hastings Banner. WILL WIN IN A WALK. The feeling seems to be:growing throughout this circuit to renominate and re-elect Judge Smith ’ without op­ position at the primaries or at the polls. The fact that his next term, if ne shall be renominated and reelected, will complete a full quarter of a century of workgrin the banch, is mak­ ing hi* many friends in’ both parties fee) that he ought to be accorded the nomination and election this time 'without opposition. This feeling is-a ,stronger testimonial of popular re­ gard for him as a man and as a judge 'than any words we could employ. ' The Charlotte Republican has en­ thusiastically voiced the sentiment in favor'of Judge Smith’s unopposed :nomination and election. There is no <candidate in Eaton county in either party, sq far as we have learned, who 1 will 'oppose him at the primary or ai ’ the April election. In fact the reports from that county are all most favor­ ,able to Judge Smith.—Hastings Ban­ ] ner. ;MILLENIUM MUST BE COMING. In these days when money is the greatest desideratum it is well to ;take note of a Brookfield pioneer, |Henry Hawley, who isn’t bound up in ;a search for wealth. He is a vet­ <eran of tbe war and gets a small pen­ ।sion. A new law exempts the prop­ <erty of a soldier from taxation to the ! ’ amount of 91200 and last spring, when Supervisor Yoxhimer was tak­ ing the assessment, he couldn't see jmore than that amount in Mr. Haw­ ley's little farm and so told him that Ihe' would be exempt from taxes the next year. “Are you obliged, under the law, to exempt my property?” ask­ ’ ed the old gentleman. “No, but you .are entitled to the exemptions,” was 'the reply. ‘‘Well,” replied the old ]patriot, ”1'11 feel better about it to pay my share with the rest." And his | wish was gratified. Tbe golden gates should be flung wide open to such ,men when they take their last journey. —Charlotte Tribune. KIND WORDS. Portland, Oregon, Jan. 18,1911. Friend L. W.

SHILLING IS NOT The Hastings Banner of last week devoted about a column and a half of their valuable space to criticism of Representative Henry Glasner's bill inthe legislature which provides that all parties shall show a clean bill of health before contracting matrimony, but in all die long article fails to make a good point against the bill except that it would boom the marriage busi­ ness in adjoining states and in Canada, meaning that parties con­ templating matrimony will go'out of the state to marry rather than to go to their ph/sician and secure a certificate snowing that they are free from tuberculosis and several un­ mentionable diseases. Even if the contention of the Banner is true, better let that kind oi .people marry in some other commonwealth than in Michigan. Everyman will use every possible precaution in breeding live stock to see that the animals are in good health and condition. That is merely a matter of financial common sense. Shall we think less of Abe future lives ot our sons and daughters than of our live stock. Shame. The bill is a good one, and should pass. Ottfer states are passing such bills, some of them much stronger than Mr. Glasner's bill, a portion of which is already on the statute books. Why should Michigan be behind other states in doing the right thing. There is nothing about such a law that should be embarassing to right-mind­ ed people who are in good health, and the bill is aimed at' preventing the marriage of those who are not. The Banner says •‘Granting that this law is designed to improve the race by­ preventing hereditary taint, one naturally wonders why Mr. Glasner’s bill says nothing about preventing the marriage of persons convicted of criminal charges.” The reason is that another bill is to be introduced by another member of the legislature covering that very item, and we hope to see that bill also pass. They may not pass at the present session, but ft is sure to come, and the sooner the better. ____ UNDER THE ICE WAGON. Health Costs Little It requires but a few minutes each day to fortify the sys­ tem against such dread diseases as Rheumatism or Bright’s Disease. Impaired action of the kidneys is the forerunner of these two diseases, and if prompt and effective treatment, is not begun it often means either of the two. The time required to take a few doses of NYAL'S STONE ROOT COMPOUND and the cost of a bottle of it are a minor consideration when compared with the misery and expense associated with chronic kidney troubles, Rheumatism and Bright’s Disease.

Hafry Mayo of Maple Grove is carrying one arm in a sling and nursing a bunch of sore ribs, caused by getting under a wagon load of congealed aqua. He was putting up ice at his home, and while walking alongside the wagon, slipped and felf, face downward, almost under the front wheels of the wagon, which was heavily loaded with ice. Before -he could move, the wheel had passed over his left arm, but be had a firm grip on the reins and his sharp pull stopped the team just as the wheel struck his body, bruising him badly about the chest. His pull was so strong that it caused the team to back, and the wheel passed over his arm the second time. He was able to clamber to his feet but had to be helped into the house, where he nearly fainted- with the pain. Dr. J. I. Baker was called, who found one bone of the fore-arm broken and the other cracked, while the chest was badly bruised, although no bones. were broken there. The fractured arm was set and the injured man is doing as well as possible under the circumstances. / THE TIME TO ACT IS NOW. POSTOFFICE PHARMACY, DRUGS C. H. BROWN. Pharmacist.

Uncle Sam cannot afford to "pay the freight ’ for these mall order houses, but that is what .these wolves that are working under cover down at Washington want him to do. They want him to become the backer for these big industries so that the small merchant will be driven out ot business. Uncle Sam has enough on his hands at the present time. There is need of a law which will compel tnc express companies to deal fairly by the people, but there Is no need for Uncle Sam to further increase the deficiency in'the post office department by saddling on this parcels post feature. ARGUMENT. you need him. Marriage Bill Introduced by Rep- H. C. Glaaner a Step In Right Direction. Mr. Businessman, are you going to stand idle and see the great mail order houses of the country undermine you, or awake to the alarming condi­ tion of affairs and use your infiueace against a parcels post? The time to act is NOW. At this session of congress an effort is being made to cram down a parcels post, though it stick In the throat. The men back of this gigantic under­ taking are working tootn and nail to bring about the enactment of this law and every business interest in this section should work to defeat it. Not only will it be the means of under; mining the local business concerns but it will go a step farther. It will create a greater postal deficiency and is liable to pave the way in lime for the death of the rural mail service. Some will say this is impossible. But stop and consider well the agitation that is on at times relative to the rural mail service. The argument is used that the express companies are robbing the people and a parcels post will remedy the defeat. This is not the way to go about it. The railroads are subject to regulation end today a law should be exacted which 'will regulate express rates. That will solve the problem. The parcels post will mean that the mail order houses will gain over 25 per cent of your own business Mr. Merchant and you will be unable to prevent it. You ask how this is to be accomplished? Simply because the mail order houses under the law can ship by means of a parcels post a25-pound package for 25 cents. The express companies have been greedy; they have brought about this agitation. They are directly respon­ sible for tbe condition of affairs to­ day hut the American people cannot afford to go into a new business in order to remedy the evil.

Some one who is ashamed of his own name and signs himself “X. Y.,” and who seems to think he has a sense of humor, has an article in last week’s Charlotte Leader about the coming election of the,Barry & Eaton Insurance company, in which he takes a wollop at Secretary Smith. The club will fall by .the wayside, Jor the members of the’ company know Secre­ tary Smith and his methods too well to be influenced by an anonymous article. “X. Y.“ attributes the tight against Stephen Benedict* to Mr. Sm.ith, when as a matter of fact there is no reason for making such an ac­ cusation. Mr. Benedict has been a director of the company ever since 18S3. Elmer Swift, who, like Mr. Benedict, is a former Kalamo man, and who has also been a member of the company since the same time, aspires to the vice presidency, now held by Mr. Benedict. He has a per­ fect right to'such aspirations, and if elected would make a good officer. Neither Mr. Swift nor Mr. Smith are saying anything derogatory to Mr. Benedict as a man or as an officer and our anonymous friend, whoever he may be, is putting a wrong light on the - situation entirely. MASQUERADE SKATE FAIR. FINE AF­ Richardson's roller rink presented an animated scene Friday evening at the masquerade skate, the floor being fillpd all the evening with skaters in all sorts of beautiful and fantastic costumes. We do not remember to have seen a more successful affair of the kind in Nashville. It was an ex­ ceptionally orderly crowd, and all seemed to enter into the spirit of the occasion and tried their best not only to have a good time themselves but to help others too.. Many of the mas­ queraders were guessed out by the other participants and by the crowd, but at that there were many surprises when masks were ordered off at nine o’clock, at which time the prizes were awarded. There were upwards of sixty in costume on the floor, all that could be accommodated, and both galleries were filled with spectators, with an overflow for whom chairs were placed in the middle of the room. FORMER RESIDENT KILLED. Burt Bartlett, aged 35, employed in the separator department of the Ad­ vance plant at Battle Creek, was struck by a fast passenger train at the Kendall street crossing one evening last week and instantly killed. The Battle Creek Enquirer says the young man formerly lived near Nashville, but had come to Battle Creek from Oregon last September. The young man stood on the crossing talking with Ray Shaffer, formerly of Maple Grove. A freight train was passing on one track, and the noise made by the freight drowned the noise of the passenger train, neither of the men noticing its approach until Bartlett was struck. His head was crushed by? the steam chest of the engine, and dead) was instantaneous. The acci­ dent occurred within sight of the man’s home, and his wife was one of the first on die spot, arriving brfore -the body was found by the aid of lanterns. She was prostrated by the shock and had to be taken to her home. F. W. KNOLL PASSES.AWAY. The community was grieved Mon­ day morning to learn that F. W. Knoll, who for the past 19 year* has been a respected citizen of Nashville, had passed into the beyond during the night. He had been suffering for some time from kidney trouble, was taken suddenly worse Sunday afternoon, and was relieved from his suffering before morning. He was 70 vears, 1 month and ten davs old, and leaves a wife and four children, three sons and one daughter. The funeral was held from Hie residence yesterday afternoon. Rev. E. E Branch of Ionia conducting the ser­ vices, assisted by Rev. Walter S. Reed, the resident pastor of the Bap­ tist church. The Interment was at Lakeview cemetery. YELLOWS STILL LEAD. The club contest rages fast and furious every Monday and Friday evening, with the yellows still retain­ ing their lead tn spite of the efforts of the reds, who are becoming desperate. The Friday evening session added an­ other fifty- points to the lead of the yellows, but in the Monday evening contests the reds showed class for the first time, holding their opponents to a gain of but five points. With but three evenings left, they will have to come from behind with a rush In or­ der to win their supper, which the yel­ lows think is Impossible. In fact, the yellows are getting a bit chesty, and the loss of a few points In their lead would undoubtedly be a salutary les­ son to them. A THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK.

NASHVILLE LUMBER CO. �SPRING IS COMING DIG 11WI - The time is rapidly drawing near when the farmer will begin to tickle the earth with plow and drag. Are you ready? It’s the nicest business in the world, and the surest. The man with a good farm of his own under his feet is the most independ­ ent man on earth. He’s like a drunken pig on ice—if he can’t run he can slide. He don’t have to worry about the future, for he KNOWS he’s all right. And while he is making a good living and saving up money every year, he rests secure in the knowledge that his farm is surely increasing in valuation every year, which is more than can be said of most other property. Farms right around you which were going begging ten years ago at forty dollars an acre are worth sixty now. The man who buys now at sixty will get eighty or more in another ten years. It’s the surest thing you know. Get wise. Buy now Don’t keep thinking about it for another ten years, while the other fellow is picking the plums. There are many attractive offerings shown here, every one of them well worth what we asksome of them big bargains. Come and talk it over with us. We are buying and selling farms every week, and can always show you something that is sure to suit you and make money for you. DON’T SOMETHING IN THIS LIST LOOK GOOD TO YOU?

THE OLD SUBSCRIBER. It is the average public to whom the editor must make nis appeal, and every editor knows tiiat the average man is fair, and just and appreciative. Each editor has hundreds of such on his.list. He is the “Old Subscriber." He is the man who takes the paper through storm and sunshine. If he sees something in the pajier he does not like, he does not inflict capital ; punishment on the editor by stopping 1 the paper. He has ideas of his own but is willing that other men should have theirs. If the paper misses the mails he takes it good humoredly. If he is asked to pay his subscription, he does so with a chuckle and declares that he should have paid it before. If he reads an opinion in his paper with which he differs, he writes the publisher a good letter or discusses the question with him in a friendly The “Old Subscriber" is the back­ bone and life of a Newspaper’s sup­ port. One of. them is worth a dozen of the hysterical, and "stop my paper’* sort, who fly Into a rage when they cannot run the whole shop. We here propose a toast to the "Old Sub­ scriber"—the friend and comfort of the editor—the man "who stands with­ out hitching"—the t'ood old standby who pays without grumbling, differs without quarreling, helps without os­ tentation, gives praise and criticism when each fails d6e, and who is wel­ come in every newspaper office in the ' land whether he wears broadcloth or I overalls.

The senators feel that the governor Is going out of his way to make trouble with them and the con­ ciliatory feeling which existed aft^r the first fight on the appointments has almost entirely disappeared. Speaker Rebuffed. Speaker Baker received his first re­ buff at the hands of the bouse Thurs­ day when his ruling that a resolution of Rep. Warner authorizing the com­ mittee on the University of Michigan to visit that institution was out of order was not sustained by the house. The speaker held that tbe junket ques­ tion had been disposed of and that this was a junket. Rep. Warner ar­ gued that it was not, and he bad tbe backing of the house, the vote stand­ ing 51 to 39 against speaker.

It is plain to be seen that the wet interests have taken a hand In the matter, as a number of the mem­ bers In the house who are openly against all dry legislation are lining up the vote against the suffrage propo­ sition. The Adjournments. The senate has not settled entirely into its swing yet and is adjourning regularly on Thursday instead of on Friday. So the house tried the same thing on Thursday, but the members who want a short session wouldn’t stand for it, and Insisted on a Friday morning session. One little Junket Is to be Indulged in by the members of the house, or at least two or three of them. This is to be a trip to tbe asylum for the criminal Insane at Ionia to determine . whether a man confined there is sane or otherwise. This man 1* one who testified before the legislative commit­ tee two years ago on promise that he should not be punished for it.

Nelson Kittinger has changed his mind about wanting that five thousand dollars which he started suit against Alexander McKenzie and Justice Wellman for last week, and the suit has been withdrawn. He undoubtedly made up his mind that such a sum would be too much for him to bother with just now, when spring is coming on and crops to be. put in. He was released from the custody of Sheriff Ritchie last week, McKenzie failing to come across with any more board money and thus freeing’ him from the steel-lined, fire-proof bed room which he had been occupying. AUTO SLEIGH LACKS POWER. Messrs. A. Arnet and Simpson & Se­ ger, who have been working on an auto sleigh for some time past, tried the machine out Saturday afternoon. Considerable Interest has l»een shown during the construction of this novel sleigh and a good sized crowd was out to see the initial run. The machine -was started upon Warren street and ran about 2 blocks, but owing to the engine, which is a 10 horse power, de­ veloping only about 2 horse power, it did not furnish sufficient power to run the machine to any advantage. A larger engine or the full development of the present one will- be necessary for practical use.—Freeport Herald. ’ POSTOFFICE CHANGE AT VER­ MONTVILLE. H. H.

Mr. Curtis was recommended for the position by Congressman Gardner, and President Taft made tbe appoint­ ment, which has been confirmed by the senate. Mr. Curtis is fully capable of filling the place and will undoubtedly do so to the satisfaction of his constituents, who will expect from him the same courteous end efficient service they have been ac_customed to under the regime of Mr. Hammond. . WHO WOULD NOT AGAIN. BE A BQY While out for u walk to Sweezey’s bi’l, Sunday, Prosecuting Attorney Potter, seeing some boys enjoying ii long coast down the hili, succumbed to the temptation of trying the sport he used to enjoy down in Maple Grove years ago. The boys donated their bob for transportation; but for some reason they let the prosecutor go down alone. The crust would not withstand the heavy weight of an adult person, and shortly after Mr. Potter got a good start the sled broke through the crust and tho lawyer completed the slide down hill without ■the sled. His face was badly scratch­ ed and lacerated where he slid on the hard crust. He has been timid about explaining the reason for his injuries. —Hastings Banner. men H gave oui mdu tne catalog nou»e was called upon lo make good ite guarantee and furnish repairs.

While Wise was skating along with a virl, Owen Hynes, a fourteenyear-old boy. came along, held out his 'hand, and the young lady deserted Wise and went away with the boy. Several days afterwards Wise met the boy on the lake and .knocked him down three times. Other boys came to .the lad's support and threatened to mob Wise.

Want a Memorial Building. One of the matters which has been brought to the attention of the legis­ lature and is attracting not a little attention is the plan lor a beautiful memorial building at Lansing to serve as a monument to the soldiers and sailors of the state. The move­ ment for the building Is backed by the G. A. R. of the state and has the indorsement ot Gov. Osborn. The idea is to erect a building - to coat 1200,000 Instead of the conventional monument This building is to be used' as a state armory, furnishing quartera for Battery A and Company E and also for the offices of the state military department. Then, too, it will be a museum of the war relics owned by the state, including the battle flags which are now in the ro­ tunda of the capitol. A bill for the erection of the memorial has already been introduced In the bouse. The Q. A. R. asks its erection at this time so that the surviving members of the army may see it completed before they die. One fourth off on all table damask, nap­ kins, lunch cloths, towels and dress linens.

Attorney General Franz Kuhn is planning a general campaign against all trusts operating in Michigan. He has already started prosecution of the cash register comblnat|pn and he is also gathering evidence against several other of the national trusts which are operating tn Michigan.

Anti-Trust Campaign. * Attorney General Frans Kuhn is planning a general campaign against all trusts operating in Michigan. He has already started prosecution of the cash register combination and he Is also gathering evidence against several other of tbe national trusts which are operating in Michigan. One of hls first moves Is to secure an amendment to the Michigan anti-trust laws, which places in the hands of the attorney general the power to grant Immunity baths to witnesses, the same as Is done under’the federal statutes. Senator Guy A. Miller has passed such an amendment through tbe Senate and It is now on its way threugh the House. ’ Guaranty of Bank Deposits. .

The House won’t join with the Sen­ ate on the proposition of a junket to the state institution# by the mem­ bers of the finance committees of both houses. The House turned down the senate resolution providing for this and now the senate is planning to go It alone. This means trouble when the committees meet in confer­ ence on the appropriations as the senators will claim superior knowl­ edge of the needs of the institutions. A Salary Fixed. Senators Cartier led a fight in the senate for tbe fixing of the salary of the Insurance commiasidner at >3.500 instead of >2.000, in view of the fact that some >4,000 per year in fees was taken away from the de­ partment and the fight was success­ ful.

The first bill to be signed by the governor • is the one ratifying the amendment to tbe constitution of the United States providing for an In­ come tax. The bill passed the Senate last week and this week the House passed it and Gov. Osborn has »f- ; fixed his signature to it. There was no opposition at all to the measure. Pension Firemen. There was a big fight in the bouse this week on the resolution for a con­ stitutional amendment which would allow for the pensioning of firemen. Rep.

He bad put a bold face upon the whole matter. He bad taken tbe brave, the wise, courge, which after all was the only prudent course to take. He had not weakened under the tremendous pressure of the situation for a single Instant. He had borne himself with amazing coolness and courage. Yet the man was absolute­ ly stricken to the heart.

He thought a long time about the ■ situation, plunging In deeper and deeper gloom and sadness as the j hours dragged by. At last ho aban­ doned all hope of ever winning the woman that he loved.

The “don’t worry" man is a genial, smiling chap who looks forward to a bright future of health and happiness—and wealth too, of course. The pessimist is scorned. He is blamed for a surly and gloomy disposition and re­ ceives no sympathy for his morbid forebodings. It isn't right. Many a man gets the reputation for having a sour disposition, when the truth of the matter is that he has a sour stomach.

' The English literature class is tak­ ing up’the study of Hamlet. . . Do we as young people appreciate the privileges offered us? The schools of our country give us advantages equal to those in any part of the world, but a great many young people fail to make use of them in tbe way they should. The mission of schools is to make better men and women. Then why do so many.students leave school as soon as the law allows? Many who go farther in school do not live up to their privileges. Some work for a diploma, studying just enough to uass, i Ubers study that they may make a living without working as bard as their more ignorant brothers. We also find students skimming over their lessons and memorizing the stated facts, but not digging down deep to find the reasons for things. A lesson that requires an hour's hard study benefits the worker much more than one lyhieh can be gotten in fifteen minutes, for the former requires thought, and the one who learns to think when young stands a greater chance of success iu solving the prob­ lems of later life. Yet some students are willing that some one else should do their thinking for them; willing that some one else should get the ben­ efit which rightfully belongs to them. Every one has an ideal and tries to follow it, at least to a certain extent, but very few make use of all the privileges at their command.

Robert Gunn was born in Wayne, Ashbebulah county, Ohio, May 3, 1835, and died February 4, 1911. at the age of 75 years, 9 months and 3 days. He was married. October 10,1858, to Miss Harriett' Bacon at Groton, New York. They moved to Michigan in 1867 and settled at Vermontville, where he resided until about three years ago. when he came to Nashville to live with his daughter, Mrs. Emma' Bussell, where he was living when he died. He had nine children, of whom eight are living, Mrs. Samantha Hickman, having died in 1905. Those surviving are W illiam Gunn. Mrs. Emma Bus­ sell. Mrs. Etta Hiekman and Mrs. Libbie Messimer of Nashville, Mrs. Adda Simons and Clayton Gunn of Bellevue, Mrs. Carrie Ferguson of Detroit and Mrs. Hattie Amos of Owosso. He had twelve grandchildren and four great-children. Besides these he leaves three sisters and (one brother to mourn their loss: Mrs S. J. Cooper of BatfttF'Creek, Mrs,1 Cal Sperry of Three Oaks. Mrs. Ar.mintu rieger of Elkhart. Indiana, and Con­ rad Gunn of Kalamazoo. His wife died about three years ago, while they lived at Vermontville, and without doubt the grief of the separa­ tion hastened his departure. He was a loving husband and a kind father. He was. a contractor and carpenter by trade and was well known in this vicinity. He had been ailing for some time, but was in his usual health Sat­ urday .morning when he ate a hearty breakfast. Soon after he complained of a.pain in his breast and died very suddenly of heart failure. The funeral services were ladd from the home of his daughter, Mrs. Bus­ sell, Wednesday, February 8, Rev.F.

There is only one way to cure deaf­ ness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused oy an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When tins tube is inilamed you have a rumbling sound or imjierfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, deaf­ ness is the result, and unless the in­ flammation can be taken out and this tul>e restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed con­ dition of the mucous surfaces.

Tbe prospective purchaser looked good to the real es­ tate men and they proceeded to drive him to the various pieces of farm property whickr they had on their list, with the result that the stranger signi­ fied complete satisfaction with the Leon. Moyer farm, and said be would return in a few days and complete the deal. The stranger .was as' good as bis word and on his return informed the real estate men that he had a little no­ tary work to be done, and, of course; the obliging dealers in dirt took the stranger to H. S. Reams, who filled out the papers presented by tbe stran­ ger, who signed them, Mr. Reams ap­ pearing as notary and H. O. Branch as witnesa. The buyer, who gave his name as Kramer, then went to Mr. Moyer, asked to see his deed, after which he departed for Ionia/ Arriving at the Prison city, Kramer opened negotia­ tions with E. E. Slye. a real estate man* for a loan on the Moyer farm, he having previously recorded a forged deed to the place. Kramer was to pay Leon Moyer •9,720 cash for his farm, but be wanted to raise •2,640 for th® buildings. He made his arrangements for th?loan in Ionia while the arrangements of the transfer of the property were made with Mr. Branch. Mr. Moyer was to meet Kramer at the bank in Portland Monday afternoon and pay him the cash. Moyer was to bring a deed ex­ ecuted By Mr. Branch for the prop­ ertv. ^But Kramer had also worked with 3fye for a deed all .filled out ex­ cept tbe signatures, which were forged. Moyer did not know of this deed nor did the Ionia real estate man know of the Moyer deed. During his visits to Ionia Kramer said very little, and kept bis cap down over his eyes. He got his^noney in Ionia and left the country Monday morning of last week before Mo-yer went.to the Portland bank. The sher­ iff has offered $50 reward for Kra­ mer's arrest.

A lawyer was defending a man ac­ cused of housebreaking, and said to the court: “Your Honor, I submit that my client did not break into the house at all.

SMITH • (CONTINUED) *T s'pose Tin portFy responsible for It," Mid old Hamilton; "for I wm ' down at the city hall the other night > when they had that big meeting, and | I happened to mention that Gormly reminded me of a young feller I used I to know out at the camp named For- : dyce, George Fordyce, to a fellow’ , there. He was slick, smooth and agreeable enough and we bad a couple 1 of drinks together and I let out more’n Td ought to. Since then, however. I Fve been doin' a little Quiet Investi­ gatin' on my own hook, and I've here in this tin box, which I brought down with me and which I keep locked all the time, some documenta you might like to see.” Tbe night editor groaned over the long windedneas of the frontiersman. "What's the matter, sonny?" asked Colonel Bill sollcltouBly. “Ain't sick are you?" . “No, no," was the answer. “But go on, please. Colonel HamlL toa," said the editor; "and will you be as explicit as possible. We are hold­ ing up tbe paper in the hope, that you may be able to throw some light on this matter, and time Is of the great­ est importance." "I see," was the reply. “Well, then, all that's written In that paper's true enough; but he ain't told all the truth." "Would you mind telling us what has been suppressed or left out?" "The man's wife was run away with ns Gormly. or Fordyce as I k nowed him, says on that night he Indicates, that the woman's husband was left dyin’ on the cabin floor." "Yes"Nex‘ mornln', some of us, suspi­ cionin' that there might’ve been some trouble, after th© storm died out, got up a crowd and went over to the man's shack. .We found him there—” "Dead?" asked the editor. "Not yet, , but mighty nigh gone." Colonel Bill drew from his pocket a key and unlocked the tin box. From a worn envelope he drew forth a worn piece of paper, on which was written In pencil that was very much faded, but still sufficiently legible, a brief message. Colonel Bill unfolded the paper, yellow with age, and banded it to the editor, who seised It, turned to the* light, and read: "I killed him, but It waft in self de­ fense.—Fordyce." "That's the first bit of evidence," he said. The editor nodded. "That settles II" “No, It don’t,” was the reply- "For when we got there, as 1 said, he warn't dead, and we managed to revive him with a good drink of liquor, which Pete Breeden—that was his name— always would respond to,” he inter­ polated. "And he managed to say a few words." * "What were they?" "He said that his wife shot him and run off with Fordyce." “Anything more?" "Then he died.” "I see," said the editor. "Gormly took the blame upon himself to shield the woman." "It will be Colonel Hamilton’s un­ supported statement against this writ­ ten confession, though," interposed the night editor. . "Well, as It happens," was the re­ ply, “the statement ain’t unsupport­ ed." "What more?" asked tbe editor. "This." Colonel Bill from the same tin box fished out another object wrapped in a piece of paper. He unrolled the paper and exhibited a flattened leaden bullet. "This come from a thirty-two cali­ ber revolver. Doc Johnson, who was the only medical shark we had In them days, be performed an autopsy, or somethin’ like that, on the body of Breeden, and he got this from IL No man In the territory ever carried a thirty-two. Forty-five's the usual weapon for a gent out there, and this come from the woman's gun. I'd often 'seen her use It, and she could shoot most as .straight as a man could, that woman." "Good!" exclaimed the editor. "That ain't all." said Colonel Bill triumphantly. "1 got here a signed paper witnessed before Justice of the Peace Jennings, the only one we had. and signed by me and several other men, which swears they heerd Bree­ den say bls wife killed him and that they seen this thirty-two bullet took out of his breast, the autopsy bein' pnblic like the fun’ral. And It's made out in due form.” "It’s quite satisfactory," said tbe editoj< glancing at It and passing It over to Shaw. "So you see we fellers kind o' thought Fordyce done a man’s part tp takln' the blame on hisself, and I al­ ways kept, these things. I thought they might turn up handy sometime." "You did well." "And that ain’t all either," said Col. Bill Hamilton. “What more have you?" "Well. I’ve seen the woman. She's alive yet" "Naturally she must have been or they couldn’t have got this story from her," was the answer. "Course. Well, the end of the story’s thjs: Them people plunged south In that bl I stard. We looked for ’em in" the spring; but never expected to find their remains, ’cause It was more'n human flesh could stand, such a storm as that, and we naturally s’posed they’d both died and got e’t up by the wolves when they was partly thawed out But tbe other night 1 ; was takln* a trip through tbe tender-1 loin—for observation purposes',” said Colonel Bill as the ghost of a smile flickered on the face of the night ed­ itor—“and I seen this woman and had an Interview with her. She’s plumb scared to death. The chief of police who got this stuff from her ’s fright­ ened her out of her boots. But I, bein’ an old friend of hers, managed to calm her down, and I got her to give me her story. Sne’s always been sor­ ry that she served Fordyce the way she done. k "I don’t know how It is, but some how I got at the good side of her. You see these women are going straight to hell perhaps—although I ain’t got no Inside Information as to that—but however low they git and however bad they are, there's always a soft spot In 'em somewhere. They're women still. And I guess I must’ve touched the soft spot In her somehow or other; for she told me the truth. At any rate she confessed the whol< thing to me, and she said furthermore than when them two was goto" south In the storm, her horse fell down and died, and that Fordyce got off his horse and she mounted It, and he walked hisself hangln’ to the saddle strap, and she said that eeein' that the remainin' bronco was glvln’ out too. she shoved Fordyce down and gal­ loped away and left him. And I got her signature to a paper confessln* !L" Again Colonel B.ll bad recourse to the tin box. "Here K is. Now If them don’t make a complete case for my old friend, I don't know what else to do.” “Where’s tbe woman?" asked the editor, after he had examined the last paper that Colonel Bill had submitted. “Well, you won’t find her," said the old miner slowly. "She’s pulled up stakes and hit the trail. I helped her, and 1 don't mind sayin’ that I said I'd see her through this thing. I don’t believe she could.be caught where she’s gone. 1 don’t b'lieve there'il be any pursuit made after her; but If she 1s, she’s got to be let go. Pete Bree­ den was a dpg if ever there was one. and he deserved all he got. That's all. I guess. Gosh! I'm dry!” "Mr. AbbotL" said the editor, “will you procure such refreshments as Colonel Hamilton Is accustomed to take under such circumstances?” "You know the dope. boy. I want It straight too. Same's we had the, other night” "Yes, sir,” answered the reporter. "Hl have It here in a minute." "Now. Colonel Hamilton," said the editor, “you have rendered the peo­ ple of New York. Mr. George Gormly, and Incidentally The New York Planet about as great a service as we could expect to receive from a human being. What you have said throws an en­ tirely new light upon Mr. Gormly’s le\ter. He Is In a much more admirable position through you. Why, he ap­ pears in this like a flero. Mr. Shaw, will you put this matter in shape to accompany Gormly’s letter, while I comment editorially upon It?" At this moment the cub reporter en­ tered with bottle and glasses. "I'm glad," said Colonel Bill as he poured out a generous portion, “to be of service. After you’re all filled up.” he continued as at his suggestion the two editors and even the cub reporter accepted a small drink from the large bottle, "we'll drink health and success to my young friend Fordyce, which Is now named Gormly. and damnation to the chief of police and his gang!" And that was the kind of toast In which they could all heartily join. Whitefield had thought that the In­ cident was completely covered gnd that nothing more could be added to the amazing story. Before the forms were finally locked, however, and the first edition went to press, the night editor, who still remained at his post, received a communication of such amazing Importance that he inserted It after the editorial in large capitals, double leaded, as the completing touch to the most extraordinary announce­ ment that he felt had ever appeared In The PlaneL CHAPTER XVIII. Something to Live Up To. Gormly was usually an early riser; but on the morning before election day he slept until an unprecedentedly late hour. He was utterly warn out with the strain of the campaign, any­ way, and the occurrences of this last night had almost prostrated him. There was ordinarily nothin* much to be done on the next day, the Monday preceding election day. One final meeting was scheduled for Monday night, and that was all. It was perhaps nine o’clock when he woke up. He waft soon bathed and dressed. He bad signaled, as was bls custom, at the proper time for the serving of his simple breakfast. It was ready for him when he entered the dining room. • Somes was there In attendance as usual. A pile of morning ‘ papers' lay on the buffet. Gormly made a,step toward them; but checked himself. ."Why," be thought, “should I spoil , my breakfast by reading what the newspapers have to say on the Im­ portant subject of iny confession? The news will keep. Let me at least eat tn peace.” "Beg pardon, str," began Romes deferentially; "but aren’t you going to. look over the papers, sir, before you BEWARE OF SUDDEN ATTACKS eat?" , .

"I will see the pa­ pers later." .

Wbrathi* corner stone is laid, then we are in a position to move the greatest load put t<efore us; Let us strive to work together and with some purpose in view. No village or city can expect to achieve any greatness, with tin forces all pulling in opposite directions. While competition is the life of all towns or cities, yet the stand of the competitors is the pres­ cription which produces life or death to a certain extent. In this great world where the breath of life is free to everyone and there is a place for all. we should greet new­ comers into business, with we feeling that they are of some use instead of an enemy, and give them a place in the golden chain that they may do their share toward a prosperous town or city. While tbe price cutter is a winner for a time, yet there is a limit, and there is much truth in tbe saying that we admire action in a business man, but it is well to remember that tbe man who is all action and no thought finds it necessary to use much of that action in correction of mistakes. Therefore, co-operation should be tbe slogan and all rejoice in the one thought, that we have something to live for, besides selfishness. Once we have gained this point, then we ■ are in a position to hand out some induce­ ment to factory concerns of high standard that would help In the up­ building pf our town.

CmzES. YANK-STEELE.

The Nashville Club Auditorium was the setae of a brilliant assemblage of the Pythian* of Nashville and their ladies Monday evening, the occasion being the giving of a complimentary banquet to seventeen members of Ivy lodge who hud completed a quarter of a century of active and continuous membership in the order, entitling them to wear the beautiful emblem which the supreme lodge has designat­ ed as the "Veteran’s Jewel.” The large hall has been artistically decorated with tfie Pythian colors, blue, yellow and red, and four tables running the full length of the hall accommodated more than 150 guests. The veterans and the speakers were gathered at the west tables, the sneak­ ers in the center, where all could see and bear. The seventeen veterans in whose honor the affair was given were Knights C. L. Glasgow, H. C. Zuschnitt, W. N. DeVine, Frank MeDerby, R. A. Brooks. Charles Fowler, W. G. Brooks, J. A. Sisco, Henry Roe, W. A. Smith, E. B. Smith, E. V. Smith, Frank Downs, C. L. Bowen, W?H. Atkinson, A. J. Wolfe and L. E. Seaman'., and all were present with the exception of J. A. Sisco, who lives in Sanilac county, and whose health would not permit him to be present. The guests, who had assembled in the club parlors, were ushered into the auditorium, to music from Walrath’s orchestra. When all had reached their places, Rev. Walter S. Reed made the invocation and the company was seated at as pretty an -al-ray of tables as was ever spread in the village. The banquet, which was served by Mr. and Mrs. E. V. -Barker, was complete in all its appointments and was promptly and carefully served bv a corps of waiters consisting of Misses Clara MeDerby, Cecil Zuschnitt, Mae Rothbaar, Beulah and Bernice Mead, Zella Franck, Eva Demaray, Mildred Shilling, .Mildred Holly, villa Parrott, ZOe Hayman, Ruth Lake, Aura Muhioe, Olive Walker, Mildred Purchiss, Zaida Keyes, Grace Gutchea., Mabie Marble, Mae Gilchrist and Vada Feighner. Tbe orchestra furnished excellent music throughout the banquet, at the close of which Chancellor Commander R. C. Townsend explained to the company the reason of the banquet and called on Len W. Feighner to act as toastmaster. Past Chancellor Von W. Furniss was called upon to make the presentation speech and deliver to the veterans their insignia of service, which be did in a manner which touched tbe hearts of alt who heard it. While the jewels were being distributed to their owners, a male quartette consisting of Messrs. Niles, Townsend, Shilling and Purchiss gave a selection, after which Past Chancellor Glasgow responded to the presenta­ tion speech, stating that while the seventeen had grown either gray or bald in tbe service, they were still in the harness and refused to be relegat­ ed to tne discard. His remarks were trite and well received. Misses Marble and Mix were callexl upon for.a piano duet, rendering a beautiful selection which brought out hearty applause. ( Tbe toastmaster then introduced District Deputy Grand Chancellor Leo A. Caro of Grand Rapids, who responded with a bunch oL character­ istic stories, interspersed with clean, practical suggestions and knightly sentiment. The male quartette was called upon for another selection, responding with “A Basket of Chestnuts,” after which the assemblage was dismissed with u benediction by Rev. W. 8. Reed. The gathering of the Knights and their ladies was slow in breaking up, many remaining at the club rooms for a visit and a social hour, plainly, in­ dicating their unwillingness to leave tbe scene of so pleasant and harmon­ ious an occasion. It was universally spoken of as one of the most charm­ ing and successful affairs of its kind which Ivy lodge has ever given, and it has given many during tbe thirty years of its existence in Nash­ ville. The lodge now has a member­ ship of 150. and more are being add­ ed at every meeting, now applications coming with gratifying frequency. CAVANAUGH-FOREST RANGER. Next week we shall publish the opening chapters of our new serial story, “Cavanaugh Forest Ranger,” a story of tbe new west, brought right down to the minute, and so graphi­ cally told that it places one right on the ground. You will enjoy every chapter of it, for It is bright, realis­ tic, full of action, and a charming love story is interwoven with tbe ad­ ventures of Uncle Sam’s forest ran­ gers among the cattle and sheep men of the plains and hills. Don’t fail to read the opening chapters, for it is one of tbe best serial stories we have ever had. _____ _____ SPENT JOLLY EVENING. The members of the Nashville Club spent a most enjoyable evening at the club room Friday evening, tbe occa­ sion being the banquet given by the “Reds” to tbe “Yellows, ” the win­ ners in the recent contest. The spread was served in the Auditorium, E. V. Barker doing tbe catering, and was a fine affair in every way. The menu left absolutely no tiling to be desired and was a credit to the hosts of tbe occasion. It was served ”en masse," instead of in courses, and the way tbe boys helped themselves proved con­ clusively that tbe club is comprised of a bunch of beatlby and hearty fellows. There was no speech-making after tbe banquet, tbe •• Yellow*" springing a surprise in the shape of a “theatre puny,” as a substitute. Manager Richardson had a special wild weat show on at tbe opera bouse that even- Iff. and immediately al the close of the banquet Captain Smith -of the "Yellows” Invited tbe “Rods” to at­ tend. a special performance of the show. The invitation was accepted and the fifty or more who partook of tbe supper repaired to the opera house and witnessed an interesting perform­ ance. Such affairs do much toward cementing the general feeling of com­ radeship and goodfellowship which exists to so large an extent in Nash­ ville and for which the town is noted among the cities and villages of this pan of the state, and are certainly to be commended and approved. BARRY 4 EATON MEETING. Advance Assessment Plan Failed. Frank Andrews Elected Presi­ dent end Elmer Swift Vice President. The annual meeting of the Barry i Eaton insurance company which was held at Charlotte Tuesday was attend­ ed by nearly five hundred of the mem­ bers. of the company. It was-ex­ pected that there would be a contest on for the office of president, with Frank Martin of Walton contesting for the place now held by Frank Andrews of Bellevue, but before any balloting was done Mr. Martin withdrew his name and Mr. Andrews was "re-elected by unanimous vote. Mr. Andrews has made the company a very efficient and capable president, and it will be good news to tbe members of the com­ pany who were not able to attend the meeting that he is to be retained for another term. For the office of vice Bresident, both candidates were from ashville, Elmer C. Swift competing for the position so long held by Steph­ en Benedict. The vote was overwhelm­ ingly for Swift, he receiving 407 to 40 for Bepedict. The new directors elected at this meeting are Albert T. Shepard of Assyria and Homer Jacques of Eaton. The vote on the amendment to the constitution providing for the plan of advance assessments came at a late hour in the afternoon, after many of the members had left for home, and was a disappointment to the friends of the new plan, as while the amendment had a good majority, it did not have the required two-thirds vote, and was consequently lost, the vote standing 161 for the advance assessment plan and 130 against it. It is extremely probable that a petition will be circulated calling for a special meeting of the company to be held at Hastings some time in tbe near future for the purpose of taking another vote on this same proposition. Such a meeting can be cailed upon a petition signed by 25 members of tbe company, and there is little doubt that if such a meeting were called the amendment would carry. It would undoubtedly have carried at tbe Charlotte meeting if the members who were present had all voted, but at the same time there are still many of the members who do not seem to understand the beneficial results such an amendment would have upon the prosperity of the company, and consequently voted against it. We sincerely hope the special meeting will be called, and that it will result in ‘-he adoption of the advance assessment plan. RURAL CARRIERS MEET. Yesterday was a gala day with the rural carriers of Barry county-one of those days when they don’t have work and the pay goes on just the same—so they improved the time by coming to Nashville-and holding their semi-annual meeting, with the Nashville carriers as hosts. The business meeting was called to order in the Auditorium at about ten o’clock in the morning, and tbe ses­ sion, which was a very harmonious, and successful one, resulted in the election of the following officers: President—John McBain of Delton. Vice President—J. L. Smith of Woodland. > Secretary—Ed. Birdsall of Hast­ ings. Treasurer—Charles Birdsall of Hastings. • Executive Committee—Frank Wertz of Nashville member for three years. Claude Mosher of Cloverdale member for one year. Delegates to State Convent’on— George Clary of Hastings, Clay Bar­ ber of Creasy, Roy. Bassett of Nash­ ville, C. L. Bacheller of Hastings. At the close of the business session, the meeting was adjourned for dinnfer, which was served by the Dorcas society, in the Maccabee hall. The rural carriers and their ladies, to thg number of fifty, gathered around the tables, and did full justice to a splen­ did dinner, after which they posed on North Main street for a photograph by Harshberger. Returning to the Auditorium, the party completed some little business details then passed to the enjoyment of a program which bad l>een pre­ pared by a committee, Carrier F. A. Wertz acting as master of ceremonies. Following a song by the assemblage, Postmaster Feighner made the gath­ ering welcome to tbe village, his talk being responded to by President Mc­ Bain. Carrier Roy Bassett and Mrs. C. G. Brumm sang a duet, responding to a hearty encore. _ The balance of the program, which lasted until time for tne 3:52 train, in­ cluded a paper on ‘‘Substitutes” by Isa Newton, * piano duet by Miss Zuschnitt and Mr. Feeback, an in­ teresting paper on “Our Daily Mail”, by Representative Henry Glasnar, which was read by Mrs. Glasner, a recitation by Miss Geraldine Newton, a recitation by Mr. McBain, another song by Mrs. Brumm and Mr. Bas, sett, recitations by Mrs. Wert* and by Shirley and Nelson Brumm, an instrumental solo by Mr. Feebackand tbe program closed with “Amer­ ica,” sung by the entire assembly. Tbe carriers and their ladies all say they had a good time during their visit here, and promised to come again. LOCAL NEWS. , Sbirt waist* 98c at Rothhaar’s. Shirley Parrott was at Charlotte Monday.

The stork beat thq grim reaper by just seven In the city of Charlotte for the year 1910, .there having been 78 births against 71 deaths. Of the deaths tuberculosis claimed 7,- lagrippc 2, typhoid fever 2 and pneumonia 1. It may be interesting to know that there were 4250 death's in the state of Michigan during the month of Decem­ ber, which corresponds to a death rate of 14.8 per thousand inhabitants. .The birth rate in 1909 was -24.1, mar­ riages 20.5, death* 13.6, divorces 2.6, for the state. In Eaton county there were 283 marriages for 1910, and about 60 divorces. The remainder of the Fred M.

Ionia county officers recently paid Portland a visit and raided a poker joint in tbe basement of the Abbot pool room. Several prominent resi­ dents of Portland were said to have been rounded up in the raid. Justiee suits were commenced against those caught playing the great American game, while the two young fellows who ran the place will answer to the circuit judge on a criminal charge. It looks very much like there would be a colony of Hollanders settle in the township of Sebewa, Ionia county, •in the near future. A number of this sturdy and thrifty race have already disposed of their holdings in Ottawa county and are locating in the fertile township of Sebewa. as they can se­ cure a much larger acreage of belter and more productive land in Sebewa for what they can dispose of their smaller holdings in Ottawa county.

Only a short stop was mads, and the conductor signalled to go ahead. The fireman, supposing the engineer to be on the rear coach, started the engine. The train reached Cloverdale before the absence of the engineer was known. The train hiked hack to Delton and picked up the missing engineer. The editor of an esteemed exchange has discovered that there is a wide difference between the school books of to-day and those of long ago. He said when be went to school be read his lesson in the first reader some­ thing like this: “See the cow. Is not the cow nice? Can the cow run as fast as - the horse? No, the cow cannot run as fast as'the horse,” but the latest up-to-date reading of it by the average kid is as follows: “Gee, Srt onto the cow. Haint she a beaut? he is a corker. Can de cow get a move on herself? Yqy._.bet she kin. Can she hnmp it like the hosa? Nitrshe aint in it wid de boss.” The picture postal card is one of the greatest fad* of our present age. It is a fad that has Its advantages*, at least It can be made the means of entertain­ ment and information. Of course the so-called birthday postal cards with unnatural flowers and grotesque pict­ ures are not only meaningless, but al times foolish. Such curds with all the gilt and satin are not aesthetic, nor of interest. But postal cards containing true pictures of landscapes, scenery and buildings of the places you have visited are always of value and inter­ est in the future. While you may be visiting anywhere it would be wise and helpful guide to purchase picture post cards of the various points of in­ terest. For future reference make full notes on each card, the time of tbe visit and any interesting facts con­ nected with it. In this way you will have an illustrated history of your personal travels, affording entertain­ ment for many an evening gathering. ■urecuons Daniel Garlinger ani visited school Wedne*d The eighth grade took a final exam­ ination in history Wednesday and all passed successfully. Miss Rmhrauff was absent from school .Thursday on1 account Of Ill­ ness. , Mr. Appleton took the sob-primary pupils into tbe manual training room last week and taught them -carpenterIng. The pupils of. the primary room have been making clay hatchets -for Washington’s birthday. Sena Gribben and Zellma Hart are absent from school, being ill with scarlet fever. Tbe pupils in room H are learning the song entitled ‘ ‘Our Flag. ” Bernice Laurent and Laura Hamil­ ton are still absent from school. Tbe fifth and sixth grades are taking a trip in Europe from Carpenter's Geographical Readers. Tbe sixth grade artclass is painting winter aetjnes. Tbe-seventh grade is beginning equations. . The eighth grade finished physiol­ ogy Tuesday. The eleventh and twelfth grade Ger­ man classes have l>een learning “The Watch on the Rhine,’’ and sing it with true German spirit. As Washington’s birthday comes Wednesday, there will be no school. The eleventh grade geometry class is studying the polyhedron and cylin­ der. Was Napoleon justifiable in leaving his army to its fate in Egypt after the battle of the Nile? This question has caused much discussion in the modern history class. There still seems to be some difference of opinion nmong the studepls on the subject. On account of the inclement weather the Literary drew a small crowd last Friday night. The attention was ex­ ceptionally good.as the pupils' parts were lively and interesting. The pro­ grams are well worth tbe small price of admission and deserve a better at­ tendance. It will encourage the par­ ticipants and also help buy our peri­ odicals which give us an idea of what is going on in the outer world; they also take up our spare time which would probably be utilized, If we did not have the magazines, by some fool­ ishness. The debate, “Resolved, that the high school course should be leng­ thened to five yea^s,” was won by the negative side. liberty allowed him. This Is simple justice. । * Do not tell the teacher that Willie will not lie. She may know better. Do not condemn the teacher without a fair hearing. This is .accorded to even the wor*l criminal. There arc usually two aldbs to the story. Do not send a scathing note to the teacher by Nellie, the contents of which she knows. Her aggressive! look of triumph is not soothing and the teacher i* only human. Do not make unfavorable comment upon the method* of the.teacher in the presence of your child. Send him to, carry in wood while you are doing so, if It must be done. Do not expect the teacher to under­ stand Jimmie's disposition the first day. You have studied it for six years and there are still kinks in it which you failed to straighten out. Do not plead lack of time to visit the school. There is no excuse for shirking a duty. Do not reproach the teacher with the fact that “Tommy lias not learned a single thing the entire year.” She is not responsible.for hi* lack of brains. Do not forget that the teacher’s in­ terest in your child Is personal. She will do more to help him than any one except yourself. Do not expect the teacher to man­ age without friction a child whom you yourself have never been able to con­ trol. Do not insist that the teacher is keeping your child back through spiteShe will hardly risk her reputation as an instructor to gratify a personal grudge, however disagreeable the child may be. Do not forget that the parents owe a duty to the teacher just as surely as the teacher does to the child. Backache, Rheumatism, Nervous* Mean disordered kidneys.

PHONE 134 —SOUTH MAIN ST. He remembered that her broth­ er had taken her one copy of his let­ ter lest night What did her pres­ ence nean? “1 .a*t came down here," continued young Haldane, “to tell you these things to relieve your anxiety, and to bring Eleanor. She wanted to see you about—well, you know about what of course, and—’’ . Gormiy did not know at all; but he nodded vaguely. “Of course, by this time you’ve* read all about It In The Planet. That old miner came tn like a scene tn a play. It was perfectly splendid, and I sup­ pose," he looked meaningly st his sis­ ter, his glance calling the color once more to her cheek, “that you,have read the other communication, which Is scarcely less Important" Gormiy stared at him In utter amazement. "I must say.€ he continued mis­ chievously, “that for a man who la getting everything he wants as you are, you are singularly undemon­ strative about it.” ’’Mr. Gormly,” ipterpor'sd the wom­ an, *T. don't believe that you have read the morning papers?" "Not yet. Miss Haldane." “Ohl" cried the girl In great dis­ may. “By Jove!" exclaimed the young man. “to think of it! I should Jjjre had the first copy from the press brought to me If I had been In your place. Well, then, I’U tell you the whole story. Or yotfve got It in The Planet and you can read It yourself. We’H excuse you while you glance eeseed. you will understand that It was this incident to which 1 alluded when you said you respected me be­ cause 1 had been a perfectly straight square man. Your words cut me to the heart; not because I wasn't straight or square now or that 1 had not made what amends I could for the actions of a boy and a fool since I had become a man, but because after this I could never persuade you'or any one that I had not always been so, and because I could not bear to have even your refcpect on a false pretense. I wanted to tell you many times, and you know of course that If things had shaped themselves differently and you could have cared for me, I should have told you the whole story before I allowed you to say you would be­ come—my wife." “I am sure that you would have done so, Mr. Gormly,” said the girl. "And that you have come here to give me that assurance, to show me that you have not lost confidence in me In spite of the frightful tangle in our affa’-s, my antagonism to your— to the Gotham Freight Traction com­ pany and then—thi*. That I take it was your purpose In coming T’ faltered the girl, "that. "What more?" asked the man. “Whatever It la, if It Is in my power to give IL it Is yours. What Is it that you want?" The woman opened he mouth to speak. She moistened her lips. Words apparently were difficult, perhaps Im­ possible. "What Is It that you want. Miss Haldane?" asked Gormly again. "I want you!” she said In her low, clear voice. Gormly lifted his hand and stared at her. "You want—me!" he faltered. "What do you mean?" . "I mean to be your wife,” was tbs direct answer. ■ "My wife!" "Yea That is. It you—still—want Gormly stared at her in amazement. "Do I understand aright?" said tbe man, shutting his teeth together. “After all that Is In the paper this morning, do you mean to say that you will marry me?" "I do mean just that," was the an- cussiou highly eulogistic nf Gormly’» action and character. 3 be prettscripl was in the' form of a belated com­ munication which had been received al the office of The Planet at the 1'aat moment, and had forced into tbe paper because it furnished the final and completing touch to the other revelation# it contained. It had been printed in heavy black capitals, double spaced Coming closer to her, so that he held her with one arm, Gormly took the paper with the other and read: “Tbe engagement of Mr. George Gormly to Miss Eleanor Haldane is authoritatively announced The fu­ ture mayor of New York is to be ,con­ gratulated upon having won for his promised wife the young woman, who not only from her beauty of mind and person, but because of her lively and practical interest in tbe poor, tbe op­ pressed and suffering, i# easily first among tbe daughters of our groat city. The Planet feels that this announce­ ment supplies the completing touch to lhe other admirable qualifications which Mr. Gormly possesses for lhe great office to which be has aspired and.tn which the people mean to see him elected tomorrow.” “Who did it?” asked Gormly. “I did." “But who?” “First of all, because I found <out that I loved you.” , . “Why did you de it last night?” “Because I believed that such an announcement this morning, with ita implication of .trust, and honor, and affection, would do more to establish you in the public confidence than al­ most anything that could be Im­ agined.” “You have made my election cer­ tain. But whether you have or not, I could almost, believe that winning you I don’t care.” “Don’t say that,” interrupted the woman', delighted nevertheless at this splendid declaration. ■ “Your father and mother, do they know?” “Certainly. I told them at break­ fast this morning.” “How did they take it?” “You can imagine what my mother thought and said,” answ ‘ ' smiling faintly. “Ana your father?” She sighed deeply. “My father, I imagine, is not unwilling to have a friend ________ at court. What are you going to do when you are elected?” “Marry you the first thing.” “I mean after that." “Live to make you happy.” “Do be reasonable! I mean what are you going to do with the opposi­ tion?” “I am going to do justly and fairly by all men, whoever they are, what­ ever they tfrtty have done. Mine shall be no policy of ruin. Some things must be broken down; but my aim shall be to upbuild.” “I thought so,” returned the girl. “And what are you going to do with the one woman?1 ’ “I am going to lore her as no wom­ an was ever loved before in this world.” How long this might have continued can never be told. Young Haldane interrupted them. “Mr. Gormly?’ be said, “I see you bare heard the news.” “I have heard the essential part of it from your sister.” . “Do you mean to tell me thatyou haven’t read tbe paper yet? Well, sit down and read it, or I’ll withdraw my influence and vote against you. 1 suppose all Eleanor tola you was the news of her engagement?” “Well, wasnTt that enough?” “Enough!” cried the young man. “Why, you want to read the interview with Col. Bill Hamilton. It’s the fin­ est thing that ever appeared. Every­ body knows that you didn’t shoot the man, but that the woman did. They know, too, that you gave her your horse in the snow and that she aban­ doned you. Why, man, you’re a hero!” “To be perfectly frank with you, Haldane, this is .all most interesting and gratifying. How on earth Bill Hamilton turned up at the right mo­ ment and told the truth,-I don't know*, but aa a matter of fact, I do truly care more for your sister’s action anil I get more satisfaction out of tbe fact that I am going to be married to her immediately after the election than I will in winning, if we win.” “You are sure to win,” said Hal­ dane. ■ “I told you not to say that,” said the girl to her lover. “Now read lhe paper, and then we’ll go uptown.” Wnat more is there to tell? Miss Haldane, in view of the new relation­ ship between them, boldly rode up to the auditorium in the great store by ti»e side of Gormly in the tonneau of her brother’s l»ig car. Tbe enormous crowd that filled tbe great hall to overflowing, that packed tbe streets outside, that suspended all traffic; the addresses that Gormly made; the frantic cheering that greeted him as he stood overlooking the greatest mul­ titude that bad ever filled that sec­ tion of Broadway, Miss Haldane on one side and his old friend of a quar­ ter of a century back, Col. Bill Hamil­ ton, on the other, with Haldane. Whitefield and a great galaxy of sup­ porters in the background, including Abbott, the cub reporter, scribbling like mad on tbe greatest story of the day—these have *11 passed into his­ tory . The result of Ute election, which occurred next day, is of course known to everybody. “Il is over,” he said, “and we have “But,** said the mad, "you said you did not love me, and—* "Must I do al! the wooing?" cried the girl passionately. “You offered yourself to me once "I don’t underatand,” said Gormly, before," went on Gormly relentlessly. “And you refused me.

One of them, whom we will call Si, took plenty of cash with him. The other, whom we call Bill, took pone. Instead he took one of our check books. amused Si. "No check book for me, Bill,’* «ay* he, "give me the cold cash every time.” "But ain’t you afraid you’ll lose it?” asked Bill. The answer was a knowing "Huh!” Well, they made their purchases but when they went to pay, they found that a pick-pocket had robbed them both. Si was in a terrible fix. This amused Bill. The outcome'was that Bill took out his check book and wrote checks for both their pur­ chases, whereupon Si vowed that hcreaftei he’d keep his money out of the reach of pick-pockets.

Now don’t be scared, for while we undoubtedly have a case of genuiqp smallpox in lhe village, it was caught in the first stages and the patient and everybody in any way connected with it bits been thoroughly quarantined, in an isolated position, and there is positively no danger of tbe disease Sreading or getting a foot-bold in 9 town. The patient is a man by the name of George Van de Venter, who recently came to Nashville from the west to visit his wife’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. S. Wellman. Mr. Wellman is the proprietor of the new second-hand store in the old Baptist chapel, and the family lives on the second floor ot the building. . Van de Venter was taken ill immediately after his arrival in the village and went to consult a physician, who found a slight eruption and told him that it looked suspicious and that he should go home at once and stay there. He wanted to go to Grand Rapids where he could be placed in a pest house, so as to not inflict Nashville with a small­ pox scare, but the health officer very properly forbade this, as it would have exposed people on the train, so he went home and the entire family was promptly placed under rigid quaran­ tine, even the store below being closed. It was-fortunate that the disease was recognized in its early stages, which makes it unlikely that any person with whom he might have come in contact would contract tbe disease, and the authorities will see that the quarantine is rigidly maintained until, all possible danger of contagion is past. We urge oar readers not to be alarmed over the existence of this one case of the disease, which has come to us from the outside. There may be other cases in the family, but there is little if any.danger of the disease spreading. The News will maintain its well-known policy of telling the truth and the whole truth in regard to contagious diseases, as we believe the public is entitled to know the whole truth about them. For it is only right thal they be kept fully posted, and we believe that it is the nest pol­ icy. In many towns such things are religiously denied and kept from the Cublic, for fear the truth will “hurt usiness”, but we believe the public health is more important than any man's business, and we are absolutely certain that the publication of the truth in such matters will help busi­ ness much more than a policy of hid­ ing it from the people. You may absolutely depend upon The News telling you if there are any uew eases or any danger of the disease spread­ ing, and we believe the disease will vie stamped out more quickly if the peoRle know all about it than if an effort I made to hush it up. “WORTH PRICE OF COURSE." Such was the comment freely made upon the lecture on “Uncrowned Kings’’ given at the opera house Tuesday evening by Dr. w. T. Sher­ man Culp, as the third number of tbe Nashville entertainment course. Very foolish were the ticket-holders who stayed away from tbe opera house be­ cause the entertainment was a “lec­ ture.” Nashville is not partial to lecturers as a rule, but if all of them who come here were as good as Dr. Culp, the town would speedily become a convert to the platform men. Dr. Culp talked for an hour and forty minutes, with the rapidity and force of a galling gun, and when be closed there were few in the audience who would not gladly have stayed another hour if he had kept on. It was sure­ ly one of the best lectures ever givetf in Nashville, and if Dr. Culp ever comes here again it is a certainty that every seat in the bouse will be filled. Many holders of season tickets in the audience remarked after the lec­ ture that this number alone was worth all they paid for the entire season. The next number on the course will be given March «, by Willard Gor­ ton, cartoonist and clay modeler. Announcement will be made in The News next week. ______ >!■» lhe. «ru<rlM __---- ------ ----up* and downs of early married life, particularly sad when she husband and father had to lie called from home to serve and defend our country's flag, to place in jeopardy a life thal is needed at borne to care for the family.

Since Wednesday morning the cir­ cuit court room has, the greater por­ tion of the time, held a large audiecce, who have listened intently to the evi­ dence in a stubbornly contested case in which three brothers—Patrick, Jr.; Andrew and Jerry Dooling- are en­ deavoring to set aside the deed- to an 80-acre farm given by their father, lhe late Patrick Dooling, Sr., to a sister of the complainants. Mrs. Mary McConnell. The claim is made that the deceased was of unsound mind at the time the deed was exe­ cuted, and it it upon this ground that the effort is being made to set aside the deed. About twenty witnesses have already been sworn, and there are probably as many more yet to testify. Colgrove & Poller of Hast­ ings are defending tbe will, while the interest of the complainants is being looked after by Hon. Frank A. Dean. The farm in question is located in Vermontville township, and there has been a large delegation present at the hearing from Vermontville, Nashville and surrounding territory.—Charlotte Republican. The hearing of the case was con­ cluded Tuesday, but it will likely be several days before a decision is rendered. __________ REV. MILLARD IS VERY ILL. - Rev. David E.

Clare Pennock, 16-year-old son of Ernest Pennock, was arrested Tues­ day by Depytv Sheriff Furniss, on complaint of Prosecuting Attorney Potter, the warrant charging young Pennock with violating the local option law. Clare was arraigned be­ fore Judge Kidder and gave bonds in the sum of $200 for his appearance at die May term of circuit court. It is alleged tttat young Pennock has been sending out of town for liquor and furnishing it to other boys. Ernest Swan was arrested at Battle Creek Saturday by Deputy Sheriff V. B. Furniss, on a warrant charging him with violating the liquor law, in furnishing liquor to minorsand oth­ ers. Swan was taken to Hastings for Sunday and was brought to Nashville Monday and arraigned before Justice Kidder, where he gave bonds in the turn of $200 for his appearance at -the May term of the circuit court.

The de­ veloping company, however, lacked the capital to build and market the ma­ chines on an extensive basis, and the company will therefore be dissolved, the new Grand Rapids Textile Ma­ chinery Co. to take over the business and carry It on.

There was a big gist of administra­ tion bills Introduced in the House Tuesday afternoon. Tbe bills are In­ tended to carry out tbe recommenda­ tions of Gov. Osborn. Tbe most Im­ portant was one Introduced by Rep. Stewart It provides for doing away with the present, boat’d of corrections and charities and the boards of the various asylums and substitutes a commission of three members at sal­ aries of 15.00ft per year each and a secretary at 1X000 to handle the con­ trolling of all tbe penal and charita­ ble Institutions in the state. These salaries are the highest paid in the state and will undoubtedly occasion a fight. A total of 17 Institutions would be affected by the bill. Kaimbach a special committee to con­ duct the investigation. The commit­ tee wilt- probably go to Marquet'e next week and will thoroughly probe into the conditions at the prison.

The Treble Cleft’s number, “Tbe Chase of the Butterfly,” alone is worth the admission. ' The parents of every child in school should be al the opera bouse March 10, to see a very little of what is being done in our school. In order to accomplish the end of having father, mother, patron and taxpayer, the price of admission has been placed very low, it being fifteen cents for adults and ten cents for children. Now you com© and the rest will be sure to be there. But few of the citizens of Nashville have the correct.idea of the Nashville public school library. In number, the-books are many less than we wish they might be, while the quality of the reading is excellent. The board who selected the books which now occupy the shelves of our bookcase certainlyshowed excellent taste in their selection, and too much credit cannot bo given to them. But in selecting the books for our library, it was necessary that many volumes of histories and various kinds of refer­ ence books should be purchased. The result can plainly be seen. When the histories, reference books and a small amount of popular fiction has been selected, there was so little money­ left that the kind of literature that interests the younger generation, or the children of the grammar grades, was, although not intentionally, slighted. At present the Nashville public school library contains about one thousand book*, seven hundred of these are histories and reference books, two hundred fiction, and one hundred are books that appeal to the younger generation. In as much as this is tbe only public library- in the town we reget very much that a greater number of the books of fiction cannot al present be bad. but' we hope in tbe future, that by some means this part of the library may be brought up to as large a number as tbe -reference book side has. We wish to extend to the people of Nashville an invitation to patronize our library, and we are sure that you will be able to find some books that will interest you. NEIGHBORHOOD GATHERING. Monday evening, February 27. the people of the Barrj viUe neighborhood to tne number of forty, came with bas­ kets of good things to eat, to the home of Mr. and Mrs. Albert McClelland, to remind them that they were soon going to leave the neighborhood, and also to express their regrets.

After all had fell they had paid .Mr. and Mrs. McClel­ land a farewell visit, their minds were diverted to the baskets, to which all did ample justice.

There were sids show# by tbs dozen*., and a wild w»*t show which was very good. The borer race* were line. In the first race there were 3 starters and 4 starters, time 2:27; tn tbe third race, 5 starter*, lime 2:25.

Such orange*, grape fruit and all kind* of vegetable* I never expect to see again in mid winter. The fowl* were good, but oh, you hogs! You might call them razor backs. They were sharp epough to cut ice anyway. I heard a cracker I (they call some of these Southern men crackers) tell about killing a bog last week that dressed 90 pounds’ and was only two year* old. These cracker* generally own some stock, some hoars and quite a sprinkling of dogs. The latter roam al ease and go In and out of the shanties as they please, for some of the houses have neither doors nor windows. It costs nothing to keep cattle or hogs down here, for they have to hunt their own living. We called on Mr. Brooks and Mr. Smith and ate supper with the latter. He had just finished harvesting hi* fruit crop ‘that day. He had 2100 boxes of oranges and 500 boxes of grape fruit. 'There were 55 boxes Of grape fruit and 15 boxes of oranges in his dooryard, besides tangerines, mangerines and all kinds of vegetable* in his garden. Now frwtll tell you what is going on in Kissimmee. This week the old soldier* have been holding an en­ campment here. A thousand of them marched in the grand parade, led by a troop of young ladies on horse back, and followed by 200 children of the primary department of the public schools. They had a campfire at night and served coffee and beans to ail. They made the coffee in a large kettle in the courthouse yard, and I wondered at the time whether it could be done out doors with comfort in my home town at this lime of year. There were fully 2,000 strangers here, a delegation of 1,000 from St. Cloud and lots of people from neighboring small towns. Seven bands filled the air with music, and there was some­ thing doing every minute. The camp­ fire was lighted al 7:30 Tuesday nighl and lasted until near midpight. It was estimated that there were-3,000 at the eat, and there was some left. I was there, as I usually am if there are any good things to eat. Now 1 will give you some fish talk, not storiee, for we haven’t any easy­ chairs in camp. Here they call cali­ coes brim, and black bass trout. Catfish are iust catfish. I caught 20 today and they weighed just 30 pounds according to the scales. The weather is all one could wish for; about 70 degrees. There has been only one day that I could not work on account of rain, and still it does not seem dry, for we have very heavy dew nights. It Is almost like rain. There are peaches and pears and some of the orange trees are laden with both fruit and flowers, the latter filling the air with sweet perfume. Hoping all are well and happy, I re­ main as ever, Ed.

Mr. When the vote on I this measure was taken in tbe House I was seriously sick. The people of the fourth district of Michigan are entitled to know my position, and I take this first oppor­ tunity to state it. This proposed trade agreement with Canada must be-judged by what it propose*, wholly disassociated from any party policy that has heretofore prevailed. In considering this proposed trade agreement with Canada, three facts must be admitted: First, it is not Blaine reciprocity. Second, it is not McKinley reci­ procity. Third, it is not a policy of reciproci­ ty advocated in any Republican plat­ form. Fourth, any policy which injurious­ ly affects American fanning is not Republican policy. Reciprocity .is, an exchange of markets. If an international trade agreement does not involve a fair ex­ change of markets it is not reciproci­ ty, but is a bad trade “for one nation and a good trade for the other nation. This A-nerican market belongs to American citizen*—not to some of u*, but to all of us, and it belongs as much to the American farmer as to any other Industrial class. Govern­ ment ha* no right to trade market* to the disadvantage of their own people. Neither has a government tbe right by any trade arrangement to discrimi­ nate against tbe interests of some of its people and in favor of the interests of other* of it* people. When men trade horses they do not knowingly tradeclean limbs for spav­ ins, ana sensible nations do not trade markets to the disadvantage of their own people. By this proposed agreement, wheat is made free and flour is protected 50 cents a barrel. If it is assumed that the tariff affects prices and it is intended to make food cheaper, why pennit the1 miller to buy tbe farmer’s wheat free and protect the miller 50 cents a barrel on the flour he makes out of tbe wheat be buys of the farmer free? If it be said that this is in the interest of cheaper food for people who live in cities, is not flour food? I* it any reply to say that? Canada would not accede to this? If Canada would not accede to it, why should we? If it is assnmed that thetariff affects prices and it is intended to make food cheaper, why' permit the packer to buy meat on the hoof free and protect him to the extent of a cent and a quarter a pound on dressed meats cut from the animals he buys from the farmer free? If it be said that this is in the in­ terest of cheaper food for the people who live in cities, is not dressed meat food? I* it any reply to say that Canada would not accede to this? If Canada would not accede to this, why should we? In our last national -Republican platform we declared for a measure of duties which should equal the difference between the cost of pro­ duction at home and abroad, together with a reasonable profit to the American producer. Assuming that it costs as much to produce crops on cheap Canadian lands as it does to produce crops on lands in the United States, doe* free trade in farm products made any allowance for a reasonable profit to the American producer? It is said that this arrangement should be agreed to in precisely the language in which it was drawn and peraented to the Committee on Ways and Means, but why should an under­ standing between two commissionerson this side and two cabinet ministers on the Canadian side be held so sacred and binding that the representatives of 90,000,000 people on this side and the representatives of 9,090,000 people on the Canadian side should have no right to alter or amend it in any particular? This bill does not conform to any pollcy ever adopted by the,RePUblican party.. It bears inequitably upon the farmer and should have been amend­ ed. Without such amendment, I would not vote for it.

MANUFACTURERS OF Che Burt Brand of Rock Portland Cement “MADE OF ROCK” BELLEVUE - - MICHIGAN The BURT brand of cement is today probably better known than any other cement manufacturedin the state of Michigan, as it has a history in the early days, before cement was used here, lime was used exclusively, and naturally there was a desire to obtain the best possible'lime rock for the manufacturer of lime; this was found about fifty-six years ago at Bellevue. Michigan, and the Bellevue lime rock has ever since been famous throughout the state forjts quality and color. Our plant is located on the ground formerly occupied by the old lime kilns and we have bought some four hundred acres of this rock. Our mills are equipped with the most modem machinery for the manufacture of cement and we believe that we have today the best equipped mills in the United States. Having the finest lime rock possible to obtain at our disposal and the most modern machinery, we are in a position to maufacturer a cement of the highest quality. The great success of our cement is due to its DURABILITY UNION STEAM PUMP CO.'S PLANT AT BATTLE CREEK, MICHIGAN Burt Portland Cement used exclusively in the con­ struction of Jail buildings erected within the past two years, some 4000 barrels being used.

The City of Lansing uses Burt Portland cement very extensively. During the past two years there have been used in Lansing 35.000 barrels of Burt Portland cement, including such work as High School. Olds' M >tor works and Reo Motor Car works. The City of Detroit has recently closed with the Burt Portland Cement Company Mr 30.000 barrels of cement for city use during the coming season. During the past two years they have used the BURT brand almost exclusively. There were some 80.000 barrels of BURT brand of cement sold in Chicago during 1910. a large portion of which was used by the city for pavements.

This is the Syracuse New High Lift single sulky plow of which we sold 68 last season, and every one giving perfect satisfaction. The special features of this plow are the conveniences of going to and from the field and transporting on the road; high lift and high wheels, making it the best plow for use in rough ground, among rocks and stumps, where other plows fail, case with which it can be backed and turned, impossibility of its being tipped over at the end* or in the roughest ground. Farmers who have used this sulky plow say it is the lightest draft two-horse plow they ever hitched to. so if you need a new plow this spring, come in and look over the Syracuse before buying.

There '’was but little excitement, the only real contests being od highway commissioner and one of the con­ stables, in both of which cases the independents won out, Charles Feighner being re-elected highway commis­ sioner by *a majority of 121 over Ernest Bahl and Fred J.

Tbe railroads carry three time* as much produce as do tbe public roads. In other words if the people of this country would use ordinary gumption । ip building their roads they would be tmlter off each year, and the railroads instead of having the producer »t their mercy they, would be at the mercy of tin: producer. For short haul* the motortruck and tractor would take place of the rail­ road. Trains of wagons drawn by Ksaline tractor*, such as are now bez used in England and elsewhere in Europe, would become the standard for interurban freight-traffic.

THE INITIATIVE, REFERENDUM AND RECALL PROPOSITIONS PASS THE HOUSE. Harry ■ L. Buckley, of Detroit, Ap­ pointed Regent of the University to Succeed Geo. P. Codd. By L. C. Ward. To Teach Tuberculosis Prevention. The state board of health is plan­ ning the establishment of a traveling tuberculosis exhibit to. be shown in the different cities of the state. A competent lecturer will be in charge and the purpose is to show how con­ sumption Is spread and how it can be prevented. The idea Is that of Dr. T. M. Koon, of Grand Rapids, an Osborn appointee on the board, who is deeply Interested Ln' that subject. Change Primary School Money Law. While the returns received here are meager as yet h appears as though the McNaughton constitu­ tional amendment for changing the distribution- of the primary school money so that a district may not have on hand more than enough money to pay its teachers for two years ahead has carried. In Wayne county and in Kent, the big counties from which the returns are in,, it carried more than two to one and from the rural districts It is learned that the expected opposition did not materialize. Gov. Osborn Is Back. Gov. Osborn is back at the capital after an outing of ten days. A part of the time was spent at the Battle Creek sanitarium, getting his throat treated and the remainder at Platt Lake, up in Benzie county. The gov­ ernor returned to Lansing much im­ proved In health and immediately started the machinery going to get through some of his legislation. But Little Accomplished. Tn his Inaugural message Gov. Oeborn specifically asked for 43 meas­ ures. Of that number just one has become a law. the Lord bill giving the tax commission the right to in­ itiate reviews and providing the necessary help to take up the work. This is really the only bill of im­ portance to pass the legislature al­ though the end Is less than two weeks away. Military Bills Through. The House has passed the Cartier bill, which provides for a nonsalar­ ied commission to Investigate and find a permanent camp she for the national guard and report to the next legislature. The Honee has also passed the Yaple bill, which makes an appropriation of 130.000 per year for the erection of armories In the tttote until each company has a home of Ito own. THE QUALITY STORE ORIGINALITY a distinguishing feature of Rothhaar’s “Quality Store” In ail our business dealings with the public we aim to be original, in the sense of always trying to be first. First to give the new; first to adopt a fresh and prom­ ising idea; first to accept a criticism, and also first to abandon arty plan found want­ ing. WE BELIEVE most absolutely in the modem school of trading and we demonstrate to the best of our ability the difference and superiority in manner and method between our “merchandising" and the shopkeeping of the past With such an aim we endeavor to originate new ways of facilitating business, new methods of dealing with the markets of the world, and new ways of gathering and hous­ ing our merchandise. -The grand old ways of uprightness and truth, those strong pillars of trade traditions, we will never discard, but will uphold with all our strength. A glance at our new goods and suitings for spring cannot help but bear us out in above statements. They are different, and our prices are no more than elsewhere. Reform Measures Paas House. The initiative, referendum and re­ call all paaaed the House this week. The first two had 74 votes and the last 69. two more than enough. How­ ever, In the Senate there was a teat vote on the recall aa applied to city charters and It lost out 18 to 7. which indicates that the three propositions are going to have hard sledding over Id the upper house. Bulkley for Regent George P. Codd of Detroit, regent of the university, who was elected a circuit judge, in Wayne county on Monday, has been appointed by Gov. Osborn to fill oub- the unexpired term of the late Judge Rohnert. Mr. Codd immediately resigned from the boara of regents of the university and Gov. Osborn appointed Harry L. Bulkley. of Detroit, to succeed Judge Codd as regent.

This bill was so amended as to make nec­ essary a two year’s course in some of the fundamentals of medicine and this meant the driving of the chiro­ practors, out of the state. Then they worked to kill the bill and succeeded.

Inquire of During the fifty years of married life be proved a loving helpmate, a happy companion and a hopeful counselor in the rugged march of life. In youth and in manhood he was found faithful in every relation, in life, and at about the age of forty he was converted. His Christianity con­ sisted in a quiet, every-day life that made for righteousness, for his faith was in Jesus Christ and in Him alone he trusted for salvation. Since the death of his wife about three years ago, the bible has Vw>en his constant companion, counselor and guide. His religion was of living deeds, not words; of example more than precept. During his long illness he was patient in all his sufferings, ever for­ getful of self; he seemed to regret even the care and attention lhat his last days required. Truly it can be said of him, "Thy servant hath departed in peace,” and bis tired willing hands and heart are ai rest, and he has reached the peaceful home he so long­ ed for in tbe haven of rest. He leaves four sons, six daughters, besides twelve grandchildren, six great grandchildren and a host of friends to mourn their loss.

Bertha was born in Maple Grove township, June 12, 1884, and at the aame home where she died. Our most ‘beloved young friend was a very pa­ tient sufferer for several rears, always being t»n hopeful and witling lo do all she could to recover. In the year 1W0T site went to California, hoping in the sunny land of flowers to regain her health, but while there was stricken with measles and from this ahe. never fully recovered. In 1908 Bertha’s mother went to her and cared for her through a very painful illness and in October she accompanied her mother back to her own home. Although seemingly well at times, this bright and ambitious young woman has been constantly threatened with the same condition from which she could not rally. Friday, March 24, she was taken much worse and she passed away within a week. A father, mother and three sisters, Mrs. Clyde Briggs, Eva and Melissa, are left to mourn her loss, also a large circle of relatives and friends who will deeply miss this dear one. Funeral services were held in tbe Maple Grove M. E. church, where she had been a member since child­ hood, conducted by her pastor, F. H. Cramer. Interment in Maple Grove cemetery.

It is desirable, to teach an intelligent appreciation of the pleasures and bencnta to be derived from birds. Almost all birds do more Rood than harm. The balance of value is clearly in favor of even all the. hawks, except two. It is much better to let a harm­ ful bird'Cscape than io run the risk of killing a bird of value. Great care should be exercised that birds are not killed or molested in their nesting places. A person who will put up bird boxes and otherwise take an in­ terest in our feathered friend* will be well repaid. Every fanner should be a bird guardian. To be interested in and kind to birds is a sign of gentle­ ness and makes one better. . “Tree planting on private and pub­ lic grounds is recommended, and it Is requested that all public schools and places of learning throughout the state will hold appropriate exercises to call attention to the importance of saving our birds and trees. Especial atten­ tion is called to the forest-tire loss. Campers should exercise care in se­ lecting a plape for a fire, and should extinguish it before leaving. Nor should trees and shrubs be needlessly marred by hacking with an axe or otherwise.’’ MICHIGAN CONFERENCE. LOCAL NEWS. The forty seventh session of the Read-Rothhaar's ad.

Hackert of Paw paw was stricken on the street with heart disease and died before medi­ cal aid oould reach him. He is the third member ,ot the present ses­ sion to die. Rep. Green died since the opening of the session and Sena­ tor Fox died after being elected to to the Senate for a second term & Will'Osborn “Run For Second Term? The one big question which con­ fronts the politicians Is whether Gov. Osborn is going to run for a second term. He announced at the outset that he would not be a candidate again, but . the developments have been such that the politicians have considered that he would be a candi­ date again. But the Information has leaked forth that the governor has been tn conference with several of the prospective candidates as to their attitude on the reforms he proposed, evidently with an Idea of ascertain ing whether they were in favor of them or not. so that he might see to whom he would throw his support In the next campaign. This has thrown all the politicians up tn tbs Mortgage Tax Bill Passes. After a long fight Michigan has at last followed the lead of every state and repealed the law taxing mort­ gages on an ad valorem basis. The Fowle bill which passed the Senate recently went through the House this week and is now up to the gov­ ernor for signature. As he recom­ mended such a bill in his message It Is sure to become a law. The new bill provide* merely for a re cording fee of 50 cents on each $100 of the face of the mortgage to lx paid at the time of filing. This Is In lieu of all other taxes. Governor Strong For Referendum, Gov. Osborn is strong for the refer­ endum, even If there is no possibil­ ity of It* being made obligatory by constitutional amendment. This week he vetoed three bills increasing the salaries of circuit court stenogra­ phers on the ground that they were purely local matters and should have a referendum attached and he alsc let it be known that he would veto the bill allowing breweries In dry counties to operate unless there was a referendum attached to it. No Workingmen’s Compensation. Hope is about gone for passing any kind of an employers’ liability meas­ ure througn both houses. They have gotten Into a tangle from which it seems impossible to extricate ths two houses and the matter will Ilka ly go by the board. There Is s chance, however, of a substitute bill which will provide for the appoint­ ment of a commission to study the question and report to the next leg islature. To Investigate Liquor Question. Senator Watkins succeeded-in pass­ ing a resolution In the Senate this week calling for the appointment of a commission to Investigate the li­ quor question and report to the next legislature. It covers the same ground as a bill introduced by Rep Perry In the House, which was slaughtered by the liquor commit tee. The resolution will likely meet the same fate. Governor Signs Military Bill. Gov. Osborn has signed the bill re­ organizing the state military depart ment. While no official announce ment la forthcoming *s yet It is very probable that th* new military board will consist of Major Earl C. Stew art of Grand Rapids. Capts. Waldo, Detroit; Wilson. Flint, and Vander cook of Lansing, with Brig.-Gen. Ab bey of Kalamazoo. To Elect Labor Commissioner. The House has passed the Kap­ pler bill which provides for the elec­ tion of the state labor commissioner. There Is little chance of Its passing the Senate, however. The bill did not receive , proper consideration in the House and is regarded largely as a joke. Have .Secret Service. The Senate ba* passed the bill asked for by Gov. Osborn providing for a secret service department 1n the state. However, ft was so amended as to make the department a part of the attorney-general’s of­ fice Instead of that of the governor. The house ha* been so hjftnpered with the work of the lobbyists on the floor and In the rear of the room that Rep.

Traverse City—A mystery sur­ rounds the death ot Close West who was found battered and uncon­ scious in a barn and who died wttbout, regaining consciousness. William Stewart, who was held on suspicion, was released. One theory of the man's ■ death Is that he climbed through the window of the barn and injured him­ self tn falling, but as the distance was only five feet and as his face and head were badly battered, causing con­ cussion of the brain, the theory seems untenable. Jackson.—Joseph Fitzgerald and William Gillespie of Detroit, ar­ rested for connection with the pris­ on dynamite plot, were discharged on the complaint charging them with smuggling firearms and explosives In­ to the state prison, and immediately rearrested on warrants charging them with entering into a conspiracy to blow up the prison. The charge was made In order that certain evidence may be introduced in the conspiracy case that could not be under the other charge. Marshall.—Even If the “wets" finally win out and take Cal­ houn county from the "dry” column, the four villages of the county—Ath­ ens. Burlington, Homer and Tekonsha —will remain 'dry". Burlington, Ho­ mer and Tekonsha adopted ordinances shutting out saloons before the coun­ ty voted for local option, and Athens, which Is handy to 9t. Joseph and Branch counties, passed an ordinance making that town “dry” if the "wets" win the county. Owosso.—Leigh Christian, son o1 a leading Owosso merchant, will have a hearing next week on a charge of assault and battery pre­ ferred by James Dingwall, a young newspaper man of this city. Ding­ wall alleges that because he refused to leave D. M. Christian’s depart­ ment store at the defendant’s order, the latter struck him twice tn the face. Traverse City.—Close West, whe was found unconscious badly bat tered/ up, did not recover conand died. Evidence sciousness 'showed that West had been assault ed and robbed, and It Is believed the body was thrown through a window of th* barn. The police are holding William Stewart on suspicion. Pontiac. — At the request of Prosecutor Pelton Judge Smith has named a commission of physicians to examine James Stevenson, held at the county jail on a charge of breaking Into a schoolhouse In Orion township.

Traverse City.—The supervisors in­ creased the appropriation for a coun­ ty house building to be erected on the poor farm from $8,000 to $12,000. Saginaw.—Peter Knittie of Beaver ton was arrested there and brought to Saginaw, charged with desertion of his wife, who was found dying of tuberculosis on the Saginaw streets. He entered a plea of not guilty. Port Huron.—When the city asses sors turned the assessment rolls over to the board of review, 88 new houses north of Black river that had been built during the last year had been left off the rolls.

The malls from England to the United States are heavier by 32 per cent since the postage was reduced to 2 cents, says the British postmas­ ter general's annual report, which has Just appeared. Among the mass ot facts and figures given by the report another' notable feature Is that Lon­ doners are now writing fewer letters and are using thr telephone more. For tbe first time a decrease Is noted in the number of letters passing through the metropolitan post offices. The report gives a striking Instance of British nbsentmlndedness. the mild temporary insanity which makes peo­ ple drop unaddressed letters In ma!' boxes or send half wrapped up par­ cels that shed their contents In the malls.

"We dine at 7,” Mrs. Redfield was saying, “so you can take a cup of ten without spoiling your dinner. Will you venture It?" “If you please." ' "Very well, come down soon and I’ll have It ready. Mr. Redfield, I’m sure, •will want some." Virginia's heart was dancing with delight of this home ns she came down the stairs a little later. As thej talk- 1 Mrs. Redfield studied the girl with In­ creasing interest and fawr and soon got at ber point of view. She even se­ cured a little more of her story which matched fairly well with the account her husband had given. Her preju­ dices were swept away, and she treat­ ed her young guest as one well born and well educated woman treats an­ other. At last she said: “We dress for din­ ner, but any truck you have will do. We are not ironclad In our rules. There w‘111 be some neighbors In. but it Isn t In. any sense a 'party.' ’’ Lee Virginia went to ber room borne high upon a new conception of tbe pos­ sibilities of tbe wesL It was glorious to think that one could enjoy tbe re­ finement, tbe comfort, of tbe east at the same time that one dwelt within the Inspiring shadow of the range. Her hands were a-tremble as she put on the bright muslin gown which was all she had for evening wear. She felt , very much like tbe schoolgirl again, and after she bad done her best to look nice she took a seat in the little roeker with Intent to compose herself for her meeting with strangers. “I wish we were dining without visitors," she said as she benrd a carriage drive up. A little later a galloping horse en­ tered the yard and stopped at tbe door. She heard voices in the hall and among them one with a very English accent, one that sounded precisely like those she had heard on the stage At last she dared wait do longer and, taking courage from necessity, de­ scended tbe stairs, a pleasant picture of vigorous yet somewhat subdued Dialdenhood.

Enderby turned ou| to be tbe owner of the voice with the English accent which Lee Virginia laid heard in the ball, but be was very nice, and a mo­ ment later Mrs. Redfield entered with Mrs. Enderby, a large lady with a smiling face. Then a voice she knew spoke from behind ber: "I don't need a presentation. Miss Wetherford and I have already met” ‘ She turned to meet Ross Cavanagh, tbe young ranger. "How did you get here?" she asked In wonder. the decay of empire” was unexciting. but when Cavanagh told of the Sheepmen's ad- Ingly protested. "Please don't scrutinlse this coat too closely. It’s the only one I’ve owned far ten years, and thia Is ths only bouse In which I’d dare to One of tbe guests was State ’Senator Bridges, a farmerllke elderly man wearing a badly fitting serge suit. He was markedly western. So was bis wife, who looked rather uneasy and bot. Virginia and Ross, being the only young folk at the table, were seated together, and Enderby remarked pri­ vately, "Robs, you’re In luck." "I know I am." he replied heartily. He was, as Redfield had said, high­ ly suscwotible, made so by his solitar* life Id the mountains, and to be seated close beside this maid of the valley stirred hla blood to the danger point. It was only by an effort of the will that be kept in touch with the conver­ sation. "I hadn’t tbe least thought of seeing you here," said Virginia. "How did you happen to come?" "Redfield telephoned me at the mill, and I came at once. I haven’t been here since May, and I just thought I'd take a half day off. Luckily my un­ derstudy was with me. I left him 'on the job.’ ” He did not telL ber that she was the principal reason for this sudden de­ scent upon Elk Lodge, and no one but Redfield knew the killing ride be bad taken In order to be in at the begin nlng of the dinner. Tbe girl’s face and voice, especially ber voice, bad been with him night and day as be went about his solitary duties. Her life problem had come to fill his mind to a disturbing degree, and he was eager to know more of ber- and of her struggle against tbe vice and vul­ garity of tbe Forks. "How Is your mother?” he asked a few minutes later. “Not at all well. Mr. Redfield is to take the doctor back with us tomor­ row.” The ecstasy died out of her’ face, and the flexible lips drooped with troubled musing. “I am afraid she suffers more than she will admit” "She needs a rest and change. She should get away from ber seat at that cash register an4 return to the open air. A touch of camp life would help her. She sticks too close to ber work." "I know she does, but she won't let me relieve ber. even for an hour. It Isn't because she doesn’t trust me; she says It s because she doesn't want me sitting there—so—publicly. She doesn't oppose my housekeeping any more"— “You certainly have made the old hotel Into a place of miraculous neat­ ness." She flushed with pleasure. "I have done something, but not as I’d like to do. I really think If mother wishes to sell she could do so now to much better advantage.” “I’ve no doubt of It Really, Pm not being funny, M4ss Wetherford, when I- say you've done something heroic. It’s no easy thing to go Into a place like that and make It hab­ itable. it shows Immense courage and self reliance on your part It’s pre­ cisely tbe kind of work this whole country needs." His praise, sincere and generous, re­ paid ber for ali she bad gone through, i It was a great pleasure to bear ber small self praised for courage and self reliance by one whose dally work was heroic. AH things conspired to make a conquest of ber heart, for tbe ranger bore himself with grace and dealt with his silver d»ftly. Ills face, seen from tbe side, was older and sterner than she bad thought it, but it was very at­ tractive In line. Redfield appealed to tbe ranger. "Ross, you’re all sorts of a reactionary. What do you say to this? Senator Bridges is opposed to all federal inter­ ference with s’tate forests and state game.” The forester's eyes lit up. “But are they state forests and state game? What makes them so? They are lands which tbe whole people purchased and which the whole people defended." "Heah, beat)!" cheered Enderby. Bridges bristled with anger and went off Into a long harangue oo state rights and the dangers of centralisation, to which Enderby replied: "Bosh! Tbe whole trouble with ?our bally gov­ ernment Is its lack of cohesion. If I You’re such blooming qbkcs over here. You don’t know enough to keep a real­ ly big man In your presidential chair. Thia fussing about every four years is plain rot Here’s Roosevelt gets In the midst of a lot of tbe finest kind of reforms, you know, and directly you go and turn him out Then If you get a bad man you’ve to wait four years till you can fetch him a whack. Why not arrange It so you can pitch your president out the minute he goes wrong? I say your old rag of a con­ stitution Is a ball and chain on your national leg. England is immeasura­ bly better off so far as that goes.” Rosa turned to Virginia, leaving the political discussion to go on over his head. “I was back in the old Island a couple of years ago. and you’ve no idea how small It seemed to me. It rarely Is a ’right little, tight little island.’ I couldn’t help wondering whether the men In parliament were as important as they seemed to think they were and whether England is not really an empty shell of empire, a memory of what It once was. I couldn't settle down there some way. I was homesick for the mountains In a month. But what scared me most was tbe pauper population ^f the old place—one in every thirty-seven must be helped. I came back to the States gladly. *1 guess I’m an American.’ I said to my sisters." MoKa creek and of tbe threats of the cat­ tle owners she was better able to fol­ low tbe discussion. Bridges waa heartily on the side of law and order, for he wished to boom the state (being a heavy owner In,a town site), but be objected to Redfield's ideas of “bot­ tling up the resources of tbe state.** “But we're not." retorted Redfield; “we're merely defending them against those who would monopolize them.

I’m rare you'll all agree with Hugh In the end. Like General Grant, he's a very ob­ stinate man.” No Boon er were they seated In tbe big living room than Mrs. Enderby be­ gan to relate comical stories of ber household. Her cats bad fits and ran up the wall. Her dogs were forever getting quilled by reason of foolish attacks upon porcupines, or else they came home so reminiscent of skunks that they all but smothered tbe cook "Invariably they return from encoun­ ters of thia kind just ns we are sitting at dinner," she explained. “Further­ more.

"You’re not going back tonight?" ex­ claimed his hostess. “I must be on my own precinct by daylight," he replied. “The supervisor has an eye on me.” Mrs. Redfield explained to Lee Vir­ ginia, "He rode fifty miles over the mountains"— "Thirty,’’ corrected Jtoss. ’.'But what | does that matter when I'm In tbe com- Buy Your Coffee in a Package When you want KO-KA insist on having it get It for you if he has not got it in stock. paoy of such charming ladies?** he added gallantly. **And now he’s going to ride all the way back tonight" “Think of that!" gasped Mrs. Enderby.

If you don't bump against a tree or fall Into the creek you may be quite sure you’re on the trail,” laughed Robs.

Remember all we ask is just a comparison. Von W. Furniss Nashville will have a harvest festi­ val pod home-coming again this year, the week being the week of August 6-12 and the festival dates being August 10-11. The adjourned meeting to make arrangements was held at the rooms of the Nashville club Monday evening, and was fairly well attended. E. V. Barker was chosen chairman of the meeting and C. R. Quick secretary. A vote .was first taken to decide whether or not to hold a festival this year, and the motion carried with but one dissenting vote. After a short discussion the date of the festival was set for August JO-11. The election of officers resulted as follows: President—E. V. Barker. Vice President—W. A. Quick. Secretary—E. V., Smith. Treasurer—Noah Wenger. The president was authorized to make the appointment of the usual committees, and they are as follows: Soliciting committee—Chas. Put­ nam, Noah Wenger and C.'R. Quick. Advertising committee—Len W. Feighner, Earl Townsend and Dr. A. Vance. Sports . committee—Frank Caley. Fred White and Emmet Smith. Attraction committee—Menno Wen­ ger, O. G. Munroe and John Appelman. Music committee—Dr. F. F. Shil­ ling, C. H. Brown and Ray Town­ send. Parade committee—Homer Downing, .Fay Green and Ed. Kraft­ Privileges committee—W. H. Burd. Now let us all take hold and help to make the Home-Coming week and the Harvest Festival * success. The only­ way in which it can be done is by­ united and harmonious effort, and that Nashville knows how is testified to by the splendid success of the Harvest Festival for the past several years. This year will be no exception. The committees are composed of the right timber and they will put forth every effort to make the affair a suc­ cess. and we Believe they will have the enthusiastic support of every citizen of the town. Let us start now. too, to make the Home-Coming week more of a feature than in the past. Secure invitations from the committee and send them to your absent friends in the near future, so that they can make their( plans to come home at that time. Don't wait for some one to ask you to help. This is your Home-Coming week as much as anybody's, so get m line and help.

A party of Castleton fellows was out on Mud creek Saturday night for a little sport spearing fish, and they were having good luck and a perfectly lovely time until they were called ashore by a couple of game wardens, who found some fine black bass among their evening's catch. They gave -their names and made their ap­ pearance Monday before Justice Chauncey Bishop at Hastings, where they paid fines of $10 each and costs. The boys feel badly enough about it so that they ha ve decided to swear off spearing bass, so we won't give their names this time, but there’ is. no question but .this affair will have a tendency to stop some of the illegal fishing which nas been carried on so extensively at Thornapple lake and on the river and creeks in the vicinity of the lake. Now is a good time to start sending cream to the Nashville creamery. Price is doing better, will save you lota of hard work and make more money. • Mr.- and vMrs. A. E.

She looked paaetic as she said it and he patted het shoulder encourag­ ingly. "Oh. well," ha reassured her, “if that's the style in halrdessing you’re not-to blame! You just do as others do and it's no fault of yours! What I can’t understand is why women think they fool any one!

"Of course not,” agreed Winnie Hill. "You’ve got too much sensei" Remember This Simple Test The greatest enemy to clothes satisfaction and clothes wear is cotton. Cotton has been a curse to the clothing business for the last*fifty years. And this curse has crept in everywhere—in- the highest grade clothing stores and exclusive tailor shops, just as frequently as in the Cheap-John hand-me-down stores. Seemingly most makers of clothes—both rich and poor, big and little, have been unable to resist the temptation to cheapentheir out-put. by adapting the cunning substitutes that cotton mixtures provide. The unfortunate feature of it is that even the dealer is deceived. EvA the honest retailer of clothes, with the highest business ideals, may victimise himself with fraud cloth as well as victimise his innocent customers. You run no risk of this deception in Royal tailored clothes. No other tailors care to discuss this test in con­ nection with their patterns. They claim all wool but are silent as to proof. We not only discuss this test—we welcome every op­ portunity to apply it to any pattern in our line with the dollar a thread forfeit if the test reveals anything but WOOL. For Sale By O. G. MUNROE.

ROYAL VALLEY COFFEES are extraordinary coffees. Enthusiasm tic users say they’re the best coffee­ values ever put *out. The one BIG IDEA throughout their entire prepa­ ration for YOUR use is that their richer flavor, and stronger “body” will sell enough more of them to make up for their low prices. And they DO As an example of what the people in Detroit, where they are best known, think of ROYAL VALLEY COFFEES —during the year 1910, over 350,000 pounds of NERO alone were sold over the counter at Peter Smith de Sons' i retail store. These are the very same coffees, at the very same prices that delight a ma­ jority of the coffee-lovers of Detroit and Michigan. Royal Valley NERO is 25c, MARI­ GOLD is 30c and TZAR 35c per pound, and they’ll make BETTER COFFEE. J. B.

Then her voice changed. “But all depends on my mothers health.” It hurt him to-hear her call Eliza Wetherford mother. He wanted to forget tier origin for tbe moment. He was not In love with her—far from it! But she was so alluring, and the proprietresa of the Wetherford Hanse was not nice, and that made one doubt the-daughter. She broke tbe silence. “It seems dreadfully dark and mysterious up there." She indicated bls path. ’Ht isn’t as «bad as it looks. There is a good trail, and m.v pony knows It as well as I do. 1 enjoy riding by night.” “But there are bears and other wild things, are there not?” "Not as much as I wish there were." “Why do you any that?” “I hate to see all the wild life killed off. Borne day bH these forests will have game refuges like tbe Yellow­ stone National park. They are com­ ing each year to have greater and greater value to the people of the plains. They are playgrounds, like the Alps. If I should ever settle down to a home it would be in a canyon like this, with a great peak at my front door." “It is beautiful.” the girl said in the tone of sadness with which we con­ front the iM?rfect night the perfect flower, the flawless landscape. “It Is both grand and peaceful.” x This tone of sadnes* pleased him. It showed her depth of perception, and he refleeted that she bad not ut­ tered a vacuous or silly phrase since their first meeting. "She is capable of grt'at development” he thought. Aloud he said: “You are a strange mingling of east and west. Do you realize It?’ • “In what way?” she asked, feeling something ardent in his tone. “You typify to me at this moment this whole state. You All me with en­ thusiasm for its future. Here you , are, derived from tbe lawless west, yet taking on the culture and restraint of the east so readily that you seem not in the least related to"— He checked himself at this point and she said. “My mother is not as rough as she seems. Mr. Cavanagh." "She must be more of the woman than appears or she could not have borne such a daughter. But do you feel your relationship to her? Tell me honestly, for you Interest me." “I didn't at first but I do now. I begin to understand her, and, besides. I feel in myself certain things that are in her, though I think 1 am more like the Wetherfords. My father’s family home was in Maryland.” Ross could have talked on all night •o alluring was tbe girl's dimly seen yet warmly felt figure at his aide, but a sense of danger and a knowledge that be should be riding led him at last to say: “It is getting chill. We must go in, but before we do so let me say how much I’ve enjoyed seeing you again. I hope the doctor will make fa­ vorable report on your mother's case. You’ll wrjte me the result of the ex­ amination. won’t you?” "If you wish me to." “I shall be most anxious to know." They were standing very near to each other at tbe moment, and the ranger, made very sensitive to wo­ man's cbaj-m by bls lonely life, shook with newly created love of her. A suspicion, a hope, that beneath her cul­ tivated manner lay tbe passionate na­ ture of her mother gave an added force to his desire. He was sorely tempted to toqch her. to test her, lint her sweet voice, a little sad and perfectly un­ conscious of eTll. calmed him. She said: “I hope to jtersuade my mother to leave the Forks. All the best people there are against us.

His voice entreat­ ed. and as she’ remained silent be con­ tinued: "Roaring Fork is one of the worst towns in the state, ‘and a girl like you needs some one an a protector. I don’t know just how to put it so .that you will uot misunderstand me. but, you see. I protect the forest, the streams and the game. I help the set­ tler in time of trouble. I am a kind of Jail round big brother to everybody who needs help in the forest In fact. I'm paid for protecting things that can't protect themselves, and so”—here be tried to leud his voice tbs accent of humor—“why shouldn't 1 be the pro­ tector of a girl like you, alone—w.^rse than alone-in this Uttle cow town?" She remained dumb nt one or two points where he clearly hoped for a word, and she was unable to thank him when he bad finished. Tn this si­ lence a curious constriction came Into his throat. It was almost as if he had put his passion into definite words, and as the light fell upon her he per­ I»oint of. view as: that which he en­ joys." “^’0. and I do not care to.

The boys and girls were encouraged to pre­ pare for college In order that they might get through life more easily, though j>erhnpa they were not told so In so many words.

The idea! secondary school Is located away from the heart of the city. It has a liberal piece of land tn connec­ tion with It. To be successful It must be surrounded by enough of a farm to give It a rural flavor. As a rule these secondary schools are doing their work well. They tare ruthle~iy cut out the classics and the dead languages. They have substituted studies that help to fit the boys and girls for life on the farm. A large share of the study of books Is done sway with and the study of living things substituted. The school* are well equipped with laboratories. The student works with corn, scoring, placing and testing. Judging corn is as fascinating a game as ever a boy engaged in. Even more interesting Is the stock judging. Few of the schools can afford to keep a complete line of live stock, but neighboring farmers are always ready to supply the deficiency.

Nashville Real Estate Exchange GOVERNOR CUIS GENERAL BUDGET �Cortrighfs Cash Store payers was read, asking the rill- hydrants world over. Let us—tooee'of us wbo are so fortunate as Io have “mother" whh us—give that day up to her, it we cannot see ber, let u* write, and send bar some little remembrance, taking care to time tl>e letter and gift so that she will have it on "Mother's Day." And lei us to whom ’ "mother" is a blessed memory, wear toe flower which bespeaks our love foy her, and tells the world that she is not forgotten: and, because that is just what she would have us do, let us make some other mother happy on that day . Do you remember the little story, we told you a year ago of the busy business man, who, discovering:by chance on that second Sunday in May just what the day stood for, telephoned his mother by "long distance?” Not long ago he said to us; "I shall have to follow your advice and make some; body else’a mother happy this year— after all my plans; and I have put in a big order for white earn alien# fox’ the hospital. It seems little enough to do, doesn't it?” He turned His head away for a moment. "But you can never know how thankful I aai that I telephoned mother last May. It has given me a feeling of satisfaction many times—now more than ever. And I wish, I do wish I might urge everybody, every man and woman and child, to make a point of remem­ bering mother, not only on Mother’s Day, but right along. It doesn’t take much, either of time or money—a post card, with a loving word or two means more than one can guess, who hasn't been a mother and felt tne loneliness _of the old home after the children are away. Don't let people forget mother nor‘‘Mother’s Day.” And here is the reminder—for us all. If the white carnation is not to be bad let another flower be worn—in memorv of "the best mother in the world,” thus ac­ knowledging the debt of love and gratitude we owe her. And why not Father’s Day? It does not seem quite fair to leave, him out of the general rejoicing and apprecia­ tion—toe dear father who has toiled day by day and-year by year to pro­ vide food and clothing, necessities, comforts, perhaps luxuries for toe dwellers in the home-nest. True, he will enjoy knowing that ‘‘mother’ has come to her own at last, that at last she is receiving the credit due her for Mr devotion and self sacrifice; but down deep in his heart, even though he may ndl acknowledge it, or even own it to himself, there will be a little touch of regret ^at he does not share in the honors, that are being bestowed upon her. Let Mother’s Day become a national—a world-wide institution as it deserves; but let us, too, have Father's Day, with a floral emblem telling of strength, and love, and faithfulness to duty, and let us cele­ brate it with all our,hearts.—Amer­ ican Woman.

Notifications have been sent to the several school commissioners of the state by the department of public in­ struction that the free tuition law has been amended by the legislature and now provides that in order to have his tuition paid in a high school by. his home district,' a child must pos­ sess an eighth grade diploma or shall have evidence of having com­ pleted eight grades of work in a grad­ ed district. The department rules, therefore, that all children applying for tuition this year must either pos­ sess an eighth grade diploma granted by the county board of examiners or submit proof that be has completed eight grades of work in a graded school district. Of course, a child who had his tuition paid last year under the wording of the old law, but who did not possess an eighth grade diploma, is entitled to have his tuition paid this year without it.

Patricia hung up the receiver. She decided to go over to the house her­ self and attend to the fire. The Stone home was just across a small tot. Sheudlpped her long fur coat over bsr tea gown and after locking her own door she went over to the house of ber friend. She found no difficulty in opening the cellar door and removed her heavy coat and left It on the smooth, white stairs before venturing to the blackness of the cellar. Patricia went bravely on toward the furnace and began to shove! the coaL In ths big living room above a man sprang quickly to bls feet "By Jove! There's somebody prowling about in the cellar!" He tiptoed over to a huge bag lying on the couch and took out a large, ugly­ looking shotgun. t 'Til just surprise him at his own game—even if the gun isn't loaded." Tho man crept cautiously down the cellar stairs, the noise of shaking down the fire drowning his footfalls. Patricia Weldon took one last look into the fire and, turning suddenly, found herself looking Into the mussle of a shotgun. She promptly did tho first thing that entered her head. She fell in a faint to the floor. The man's gun fell almost before the girl dropped. He rushed to ber side and with something very much like a swear word on bls Ups picked up the huddled mass of unconscious beauty and with shaking heart but steady arms carried it up the stairs. When he stopped, half-way up, to kick the fur coat out of his way, Pa­ tricia found her sensea She felt her­ self being rather reluctantly put down on tho couch in tho living room. The man sat down beside her then and with a man's awkwardness began to fan her with a magasine. "Wake up, girl! For goodness' sake wake up I" Patricia felt instinctively that his next move would be for water, and as she had no desire to be soaked she opened ber eyes slowly and effec­ tively. "Who are you and bow do you hap­ pen to be in Mrs. Stone's house Y’ she asked. "Who are yqu and how do you come to be in my sister's bouseT" The man laughed. Patricia jumped up. “Alice Stone's brother! She has never even men­ tioned that she has a brother!** "Nor has she mentioned to me that 4>e has a new chum!" If the light of understanding dawned In both minds at the same time neither spoke of it. “I have just come In from a hunt­ ing trip and before that I had about circled the globe." "I suppose the gun you were about to shoot me—" 'Was not loaded. I can’t tell you bow sorry I am to have frightened you so. I couldn't see any one until you fell—the turn was sudden." "It was stupid of me to faint I had come over to fix the fire for Alice." "If you feel equal to It now, I will get your coat and take you borne." The man .leaned forward in bls chair. Patricia looked up. "Are you mar­ ried r* she asked suddenly. "No. Are your* "No.Then they both laughed. "Because," Patricia continued, "T prefer, In this instance, to be sensible rather than strictly proper. There is no one homo at my house and there Is no one here to get your dinner. Now, I am not much of a cook but I intend to get your dinner for you." The girl looked him squarely in the eyes.

"Did she know you were hereF* "Sure; I saw her Ln town and she told me how to get In and to make myself perfectly at home.” Patricia was looking at him accus­ ingly.

Try Royal Valley NERO at 25c, or MARIGOLD at 30c, or TZAR at 35c per pound and you will never use any other coffee, because any other as rich, and strong, would cost you from 10c to 15c more per pound. royal valley* japan tea is imported direct from the finest gar­ dens in the world—i* new and fresh and has the daintiest flavor!

The machine began1 to pur and spit and-the wheels to spin, and Lee Vir­ ginia was left to face her mother’s ob­ stinate resistance alone. She felt sud­ denly very desolate, very weak and very poor.

CHAPTER X. THZ POACHERS. NE morning as he topped the rise between the sawmill and hls own station Cavanagh heard two rifle shots in quick succession snapping across (be high peak on hls left Bringing hls horse to a stand, be unslung Jiis fieldglasses and slowly and minutely swept the tawny slopes of Sheep mountain, from which-the forbidden sounds seemed to come. “A herder shooting coyotes.” was hls first thought. Then, remembering that there were no camps in that direction and that a flock of mountain sheep (which be had been guarding careful­ ly) habitually fed round that grassy peak, bls mind changed. “1 wonder If those fellows are after those sheep.” he mused as he angled down the slope. “I reckon It’s up to me to see." In less than three hours be was over on the trail tn the canyon, quite cer­ tain that the hunters were still above him. He rode quietly up the valley, pausing often to listen and to scruti­ nize the landscape, but no sign of campfire and no further, rifle shots came, and at last he went Into camp upon the trail, resolved to wait till the poachers appeared, a ward which hls experience as a soldier helped him to maintain without nodding. In these long hours hls thought play­ ed about the remembrnnee of hls last visit to the Fork and hls hour with Lee. He wondered wbat she was do­ ing at the moment How' charming she had looked there at Redfields’—so girlish in form, so serious and woman­ ly of face! , He felt as never before the ineludlble loneliness of the ranger's life. The guardians of these high places must forever be solitary. No ranger could rightfully be busband and father, for to bring women and children into these solitude* would be cruel. He put all this aside—for the time— by remembering that be was a soldier under orders and (hat marriage was a long way off, and so smoked his pipe and waited for the dawn, persistent as a Sioux and as silent as a fox. At daylight, there being still no sign of hls quarry, be saddled hls horse and was about to ride up the trail when ho caught the sound of voices and the sharp click of iron hoofs on the rocks above him.

Mrs. Will Main died at her home south of Morgan, Friday evening at about 7:30, from puerperal fever. The funeral services were held Sunday from the Barryville church and the y-emains laid at rest in the Barryville cemetery. Mrs. Main was forty-four years of age and leaves a husband and eight children, besides a host of friends to mourn tbeir loss. Come to the high school literary Friday evening. Special efforts are being made to give students and patrons a pleasant evening. The ghost scene in Hamlet, choice musical selections and a special trea I from .Michigan’s Poet are some of the interesting features. More than twen­ ty of the high school students are to take part in the various exercises. See school notes for the program. Rev. W. P. French D. D. of Lan­ sing will be here next Sunday and hold quarterly meeting at the M. E. church. The program, of the services will be as follows: Saturday evening at 7:30 he will conduct quarterly con­ ference. Sunday morning at 9:30 love feast. Preaching at 10:00 o’clock, followed by the celebration of the Lord’s supper. In the evening the pastor will preach. Tbe public is cordially invited. If the old brindle cow should get out many a man would walk the street half the night looking for her, but let tbe twelve-year-old son fail to show up and the parents retire for the night without an anxious tbonght. We dare not be hopeful over the future of tbe human race us long as tbe fathers and mothers think more of rounding up a 820 cow or a 83 shoat than they do of corraling their sobs and daugh­ ters at reasonable hours in tbe eve­ ning. Work has commenced bn the setting Out of elms along the street leading south from Sherman street to Lake­ view cemetery. This is a project which has been evolved and promoted by tbe W. R. C., and we hope that their efforts may prove as successful as they hope. They have secured the trees and have raised a portion of the necessary money to pay for aettipg them out. They will ask the village council to appropriate the balance necessary to complete the work, which we understand is about 825.00, and we anticipate that they will have no trouble Id securing the appropriation, it is proposed to change the name of the street to Memorial avenue, arid it is the aim of tbe ladies’ organization to Ln time make it one of the beautv spots of the town, beautifully shaded with elms and otherwise improved and beautified. Tbe undertaking is a worthy one and the ladies should re­ ceive al! possible encouragement. and magazine meat or by congress. Each registered package, in and out, has to be record­ ed apart from the regular record. Ac­ curate time has to be kept on backstamping, distributing, sorting, deliv­ ery, etc., and tbe routine is almost interminable.’ Extra help has been employed, and at that it keeps tbe force busy every minute of the day, from six tn the morning until 7:30 in the evening. Patrons hhve had to wait a little longer al mail times before the windows can be opened, on accqpnl of the keeplmg of these records, but the force is working hard to give the very best possible service. Under tbe circumstances, it would be a great accommodation to the clerks if parents would retrain from sending children to tbe office for maii more than Is really necessary during this month at least. Many of these little ones come to the office five and six times during the day to ask for mail, or several children from the same family will come one after the other at short intervals, and it all make's a great deal of unneccessary work for the clerks, and especially at this time.

Last week Wednesday the local high school team won the first game of the season from* Charlotte high school by a score of 2 to 0. Both teams played a good game, and it was fast and exciting throughout. Tbe Charlotte Leader offers the following apology. ‘ Charlotte's one score was brought in by a hit by Nichols, gain­ ing second and ’ third by errors and scoring while Nashvillewasdiscussing the question whether Snyder had a right to change batting position or not. The Nashville official held that Snyder .was out for trying to bat cross banded and also sent Nichols back to third, claiming that Nichols had no right to tytke advantage of the Nashville boys by trotting in -hotae while they ware discussing Snyder’s case. It looks like a case of not’want­ ing to be loserrat home. In a recent article Manarer Jennings of Detroit says that all would-be ball players should spend ten cents-for a rulebook before trying to play ball. Possibly Nashville will consider this advice of the frisky manager before they play here on their return date, May 13. At least we hope so," First bouquet of tbe season and it is highly appreciated. But the advice seems a trifle mis­ placed. Even Hughey himself would not allow the plays mentioned in the Leader's own article. BURGLARS! OR SNEAKS? Last Saturday night at about eleven o’clock some one tried to force their way into the house on State street oc­ cupied by Mr. and Mrs. C. S. Fur­ niss. Mrs. Furniss had retired and Mr. Furniss was about ready for bed when he heard a suspicious noise at one of the rear windows. He listened a moment and again heard dintinctly some one trying to raise the window, which was securelv locked. He called out and asked them what they were trying to do, and rapidly retreating footsteps was the only.reply. Earlier in the evening some one was prowling about the residence of Mrs. Ellen Mix, going up on the porches and around the house, but not making any effort to gain entrance. Mr. Furniss has equipped his residence since that time like a full-fledged arsenal and is prepared to give the marauder a warm reception when he makes his next ap­ pearance.______ ___________ ASSYRIA FARMER’S CLUB.

Shepard—-"What does the farmer need most? More land, more labor or more education?" After a spirited discussion in which Hinchman, Tucker­ man, Abbott, Kent and others took {•art, it was decided if they had more and they would have to have more labor and more education to be able to know how to build up tbe worn out soil. To be a successful farmer in this age of the world they would have to have more education. Song by Ida Willison, “Here's to the Farmers o' Assyria” was pleasing to all. Music—Twlia Mulvany and Myra Cushing was heartily encored. Read­ ing—‘‘The Golden Age of America"— by Kate Cox was enjoyed by all. Duet—Lyle and Lloyd Tucker was heartily encored. Mrs. Arthur Wil­ ber gave a fine recitation. Bessie Wing favered the company with two fine songs. Adjourned to meet al the M.P. church at Assyria, the fourth Saturday in May.

Von W. Furniss NEW MORTGAGE TAX LAW. Without doubt one of the tnoit im­ portant bill pasted by the recent ses­ sion of the state legislature was the Fowle mortgage registry tax law, which provides for a registry Ux of 50 cents on the hundred dollars to be paid to the county treasurer before any mortgage can be recorded. Tbe tax is paid out once and is inlieu . of all other taxes on tbe mortgage. The word mortgage is defined as Including any lieu created over or imposed up­ on real property and includes execu­ tion, contracts for sale of real proper­ ty, known as land contracts. The only mortgages exempt from the provisions of the law are those given by religious, educational and benevolent associations, building and loan associations- and on armories. The average life of mortgages is nearly five years, hence the tax amounts to but about one-tenth of one per cent per anuum—so small & burden that It will not oppress the borrower. Senator Fowle, who fathered the bill, claims the author­ ties show that the borrower under any law always pays the tax. This fact, with the additional fact that a tax is levied on the property covered by the mortgage under the old law,, amounts to double taxation and ac­ counts for the unpopularity of the old system. The new law goes into effect January 1, 1912. Mortgages Si ven prior of that time remain un­ er tbe old law. Opportunity is given under the terms of the new law for any one holding mortgages to pay tbe registry tax provided for and thus escipe'further taxation. Tbe law is made effective by de­ claring that no mortgage can be as­ signed or foreclosed or any land contract enforced until the tax pro­ vided for is paid. Mortgages held by non-residents of the state, bv banks and trust com­ panies which now represent by far the greater portion of mortgages and which are now exempt will have to pay this specific tax, and while the amount to be paid under the new law is comparatively small, the total rev­ enue derived by the state Is expected to be equal or greater than that de­ rived under the old law, for tbe rea­ son the latest report of the tax com­ mission shows that only 417,000,000 worth of mortgages were on the tax rolls last year while the total mort­ gages unearthed in the state reached •101,000,000. It is Senator Fowle’s idea that under his bill practically the entire amount will be taxed with tbe exception of about 13,000,000 representing building and loan mortgages. Under the old law a big per cent of mortgages were assigned to parties living outside the state to escape taxation and many money loaners assigned their mortgages to banks to avoid paying tbe tax rate. Under the provisions Of the Fowle bill all mortgages are void until the registry fee Is paid, which precludes all danger of any efforts to escape payment. More money is expected to be offer­ ed for loaning on mortgages under the new law which will have a tendency to lower the rate of interest, conferring a boon on tbe great sorrowing class, and aiding materially in the develop­ ment of the state._______ MOTHER'S DAY MAY 14. Sunday. May 14. has been designat­ ed as mother’s day by Governor Osborn. In his proclamation he says: "Motherhood is the sacred course from which flows the stream of hu­ manity. Just as that fountain is pure and hojy and noble, so will be the character of our people. Tbe very word “Mother” is a synonym for rev­ erence. In all nature there is nothing so tender and loving and joyous as the relationship between mother and child. ‘‘Natural, willing motherhood is the measure of the vitality of a race. Wil­ ful sterility is race murder and one of the gravest dangers confronting humanity today. “I request th’e citizens of Michigan generally to observe the second Sun­ day of May as “Mothers' Day.” As many as possible should read the ar­ ticles by Theodore Roosevelt upon “Race Decadence ’ published in the Outlook of April 8. I bespeak for this day the profund consideration and highest thought of all our people upon the theme of “Mother," and all that the beautiful word implies.” THE CALAMITY HOWLER. A dog sat out in the midnight chill and howled at the beaming moon; his knowledge of music was strictly nil and his voice was out of tune. And •he bowled and bowled as the hours went by. while dodging the bricks we threw, till the moon was low in tbe western sky, and his voice was split in two. And there wasn’t a thing at which to howl over which a pup should weep, and the course of the dog was wrong and foul, for people were wild to sleep. There are plenty of men like that blamed fool hound, who yell when there’s nothing wrong, disturbing the country with senseless sound—the pessimist's doleful song.— Fairplay Flume. OBITUARY. James DeWitt .Dickinson was born in the town of Alexandria, Genessee county, New York, September 5,1839, and departed this life at bis hpme in the village of Nashville, Mich., May 7, 1911, at the age of 71 years, 8 months and 2 days.

Emily Burnham, nee McCartney, was born in Maple Grove township May 22, 1856, and died very suddenly from heart failure at her home May 5, 1911, aged 54 years, 11 months and 1" days. She leaves tp mourn her departure a husband, parents, two sisters, two brothers and a large host of other relatives, friends and neigh­ bors. Two sisters have preceded her to the other world. She was united in marriage with Franklin P. Burn­ ham May 15, 1872 with whom she shar­ ed the sorrows and joys of life. She never complained of her lot in life, and was ever ready to help others. The funeral was held Sunday after­ noon at the M. E. church in Maple ‘Grove, and was conducted by Rev. J. B. Griswold of Hastings, assisted by Rev. V. Buxton of. Maple Grove. The remains were interred in the W ilcox cemetery. Sister Burnham was con­ verted <x> God in 1889 under the labors of Rev. Geo. Johnson, and soon after her conversion she united with tbe Evangelical church at South Maple Grove. About eleven years ago Mr. and Mrs. Burnham moved and located 3 miles south of Nashville.which is one mile due east from the old homestead where her aged parents live. When they moved here she identified herself with the Free Methodist church. Sis­ ter Burnham was much engaged in spiritual meditation, and communion with God, and loved the services of God’s bouse and there took an active part in speaking, praying, singing and exhorting sinners to seek the Lord. Surely of her it can be said, “she hath done what she could."

Leah Walrath gave a very interest Ing report last Friday on the fire in the shirt waist fretory in New York. This fire took place last March and there were about one hundred and fifty people killed. The high school base ball team, ac­ companied by a large body of rooters, journeyed to Vermontville last Wednesday and defeated the Vermontville boys to the tune of six and three. Wyant, who had always been a puzzle, was solved very easily, and the Nashville boys kept the base lines quite warm, in spite of the fact that the day was cold. Brumm pitch­ ed good ball and big Mary pegged them out at second. Toward the last of the game Mr. Hull, Vermontville’s third sacker, thought that Bob Smith was trying to block him off second, and without a thought as to how the Nashville boys would feel about it, started to take his revenge on Bob by taking a couple of swings at his spinal cord, both of which fell short. Then he took three or four steps toward the pitcher’s box and assumed the pose of a prize fight­ er. But this didn't seem to scare Smith any. By this time Mr. Hull had forgotten all about the game and thought he was in the middle of the ring. Smith stepped toward him and Suit his arm about the gallant little eather.weight and quietly said “You are out." and touched him with the ball. This awoke Mr. Hull from his dream and by Bob’s aid he found the third base line and taking his seat on the bench highly resolved not to go out of his class to tight a heavy weight.

I had let myself dream of a different outcome. Your father will be grieved. Before I left, he came to me with tears In his eyes to bld me godspeed."

"You are so very, very kind." “Good-by, Maddy. “Good-by.” He paused an Instant after opening the door and gave her one long look. Then the door closed and he was gone. It had been six months since Boyd’s visit when one night after the opening performance in Chicago. Madeline was banded a telegram. With trembling hands she tore open the yellow en­ velope and read: “Madeline Morris, Olympic Theater —•Your father very low. Come at once. "BOYD.” The next morning she arrived In Prairie City.

They were nearing the old home—a big white house with an old-fashioned garden in front On the porch steps they met Doctor Lambert, a trifle older looking than when Maddy had last seen him. He paused for a few momenta to ex­ change greetings. "I’m in a hurry, Maddy. I have to go to the offiqp, but I’ll be back in a minute." Margaret stood a short distance from during this brief conver­ sation. The actress thought the ex­ pression In Margaret’s eyes was un­ mistakable; her sister waa in love with Boyd. When Doctor Lambert returned Mad­ dy went up to see her father. He was asleep. The pale, wan face startled her and her eyes filled suddenly. Doctor Lambert brought her a chair. She sank into it and waited five min­ utes or more—it seemed ages before her father stirred, then opened his eyes. His gaze fastened Itself imme­ diately upon her. There came over his kind old face a look of unutterable joy us he made a motion tht.. Boyd under­ stood. Reaching for a pad of paper and a pencil on the table, he handed them to Doctor Morris. In the meantime, Mad­ dy had risen and was pressing kiss after kiss upon her father’s cheek. Slowly the pencil moved over the pa­ per. It was such a painful effort. Then when it was finished he gave It to Maddy. This was what she read: "Dear Maddy: It gives me great, great joy to have you home. God bless you. My heart’s desire—you know it— Boyd and I are waiting.” "Maddy, answer him quickly. You see his life hangs on a thread," Doctor Lambert advised, rather sternly.

The Corset that Touches the Heart of every Woman that Wears it WOMEN who wear the Kabo corsets and deal­ ers who sell them have learned by experi­ ence that there are at least three things about a Kabo corset that can be counted on with abso­ lute certainty: the styles are the newest things in corsets anywhere, here or abroad; the wearer will always be comfortable if she wears the Kabo model suited to her figure; and there’s more service in a Kabo corset than most women expect from any corset. Kabo corsets are made to satisfy the wearer and there isn’t any care or work too much for the manufacturer in doing this. To entirely satisfy every customer means to grow, not only in volume of business but in the esteem of those who use Kabo ‘ corsets as well as in our own esteem.

Gee. but they're hotl Borne of, ’em want to lynch him.” Lee hurried out into the dining room, which was crowded with men and voicing deep excitement A half dozen men .were standing be­ fore tho counter talking with Lize, but Lee pushed in to Inquire with white, inquiring face: "What is it all about? What has happened?” "Nothing much.” Lize replied con­ temptuously, “but you'd think a horse’ had been stole. Ross has nipped Joe , Gregg and one of bls herders for kill Ing mountain sheep,” "Do you mean he shot them?” “Yes; he took their beads.” Leo stood aghast “What do you mean? Whose heads?” Lize laughed. “The sheep's beads. Ob, don't be scared! No one is hurt yet” The girl flushed with confusion as the men roared over her blunder.. “Oneof the girls told me Mr. Cavanagh had killed a man,” she explained.. “Where Lize betrayeu annoyance. "They say he’s taking supper at Mike Halsey’s, though why be didn’t come here I don’t see. What’s be going to do?” sbe asked. "Won’t the marshal take the men off his bands?” "Not without warrant from Higley, and Higley Is out of town. Ross 'll have to hold ’em till Higley gets tack or else take ’em over to Chauvenet.” Lize snorted. "Old Higley! Yes. he’s been known to disappear before when there was some real work to be done." Lee went back to her own task with a vague sense of alarm. “Certainly they will not dare to Interfere with an officer in the discharge of his duties,” sbe thought Sbe was eager to see him, and the thought that be might be obliged to ride away to Chauvenet without a word to her gave her a deep I er feeling of annoyance and unrest -That , he was in any real danger she could not believe. It was disheartening to Cavnnagb to see bow some of tbe most Influential citizens contrived to give encourage­ ment to the riotous element of the town. A wink, a gesture, a careless word to the proper messenger, con­ veyed to tbe saloon rounders an astyrance of sympathy which inflamed their resentment to the murderous point, it was confessedly one of the worst com­ munities In the sure. “Let’s run Cavanagh!" was the sug­ gestion of several of Gregg's friends. The fact that the ranger was a com­ missioned officer of tbe law and that the ram's bead bad been found on tbe poacher’s pack made very little dif­ ference to these irresponsible Insti­ gators to assault It was wonderful how highly that loafing young rascal. Joe Gregg, was prized at the moment “It’s an outrage that tbe son of a lead­ ing citizen should be held up In this way by one of ti}e forestry Cossacks.” declared one of tbe merchants.

"Smash tbe lights!" shouted some one at tbe back. Here was the first real note of war. and Roas cried out sharply, "if a man lifts a band toward the light I'll ent It off!” There was a stealthy movement in tbe crowd, and. leaping upon the counter, a reckless cub reached for the lamp. ’ •­ Cavanagh's revolver shattered the globe In the fellow’s very palm. “Get down from there.”* be commanded. CHAPTER XI. HE mob besieging Cavanagh in Halsey's saloon bad not found its leader. It hesitated and blustered, but did not strike and eventually edged out of the and disappeared. But the silence which followed its retreat was more alarming to tbe ranger than its pres­ ence. Some slier mischief was In these minds. He feared that they were about to . cut tbe. electric light wires and so plunge him into darknesa. and to prepare for that emergen­ cy he called upon the bartender (Hal­ sey having vanished! for a lamp or a lantern. The fellow sullenly set about this task, and Ross, turning to Gregg, said, “if you’ve any Influence with this mob you'd better use it to keep them out of mischief, for I'm on this job to the bitter end. and somebody's going to be hurt;” Gregg, who seemed quite detached from the action and rather delighted with it, replied: “I have no Influence. They don’t care a hang about me. They have It tn for you. that’s all.” Edwards remained silent, with his hat drawn low over bls eyes. It was evident that be was anxious to avoid being seen and quite willing to keep out of tbe conflict; but. with no hand­ cuffs and tbe back door of the saloon unguarded. Ross was aware that bis guard must be incessant and alertly vigilant “Such a thing could not happen un­ der the English flag.” he said to him­ self, and at tbe moment bls adopted country seemed a miserable make­ shift Only the thought of Redfield and the chief nerved him for the long vigil. “The chief will understand If it comes up to him,” he said. Lize Wetherford came hurrying In. looking as though she had Just risen from her bed. She was clothed in a long red robe, her grizzled hair was loose, her feet were bare, and she car­ ried a huge old fashioned revolver In her handl Her mouth was stern. Stopping abruptly as she caught T Mo-Ka Coffee to , tho Wetberford House Lee was waiting on the porch of the hotel, tense with excitement, sfritlnlnir her ears and eyea to aee what was taking place. Tbe night had started with a small sickle of moon, but thia bad dropped below tbe range, leaving the street dark aare where tbe lights from tbe windows of tbe all night eating bouses and saloons lay out upon tbe walk, and while sbe stood peering out tbe sound of rancorous bowl Ing and shrill whooping came to her ears with such suggestion of ferocity that sbe shivA few of tbe hotel guests bad gone to bed. hut the women were up. ex­ cited and nervous, starting at every fresh outburst of whooping, knowing that their sons or husbands were out In tbe street “to see the fun” and that they might meet trouble. At last Lee discerned her mother re­ turning from Halsey's, followed by three men. Withdrawing from tbe lit­ tle porch whereon she had been stand­ ing. sbe re-entered the house to meet her mother tn tbe hall. "Where is Mr. door Cavanagh T’ sbe asked. " "Out in tbe dining room. You see. Mike Halsey Is no kind of use. He vamoosed and left Rom down there alone with his two prisoners and the lights likely to be turned out on him. bo I offered tbe caffy as a calaboose They are sure in for a long and tedi­ ous night” Lee was alarmed at her mother’s ap­ pearance. “You must go to bed.

I shall camp right here till morning or until tbe magistrate or the marshal relieves me of my culprits."

The Nashville Club Auditorium was lite scene last Friday evening of a gathering.of which any village-in tbe state might well be proud. It repre­ sented over one hundred of the best citizenship of the village, gathered to participate in the second annual men's banquet, and to share In listening to addresses.which could not fail to in­ spire every one who beard them to higher and better purposes and to the ambition to help in making Nashville not only a bigger but a better town. Not that it is bad now, In any sense, but there is always an opportunity for improvement, civic, moral and religious. Nashville stands now well In the fore-front of towns of its size in the state in every praiseworthy way. It is a good business town', it is a neat, clean progressive village. Its schools and churches are not beihnd any in the state for the size of the town. It is beautifully located, has good streets, well shaded, has flee side­ walks, beautiful and well-kept parks, a splendid system of water works, an excellent and growing sewerage sys­ tem, and is altogether one of the most prosperous and satisfactory home towns in tbe state. Another thing which helps amazingly is that there is little bickering over business or pol­ itical lines, and its citizens are almost unanimous in working together for whatever is for the best interests of the village, and this spirit has done and is doing much for the community. But no town reaches or approaches perfection, and there is always a high­ er plane to which it can climb if tbe spirit of progression is properly fos­ tered. and such gatherings as that of last Friday evening are a great help along such lines. The banquet was served at eight o’clock, ana the four long tables were beautiful in appearance and well laden with the substantial things of life when die hungry horde gathered about them. Rev. F. L. Niles made the invocation and the company was seated to enjoy the spread, which consisted of the fol­ lowing menu: Orange Cups Jellied Chicken Escalloped Potatoes Biscuits Banana Salad Fruit Jelly Olives Pickles Fruit Ice Cream Cofffee Cake The banquet was served by the Ladies' Aid Society of the Methodist church, and the service was as prompt and efficient as the viands were excel­ lent and satisfying, which is saying a great deal. During the serving of the banquet, music was furnished on the piano by Misses Fern Mix and Mil­ dred Coe, adding greatly to the enjoy­ ment of the banqueters. When the banquet had been attended to to the eminent, satisfaction of all. Von W. Furniss introduced Railroad Commissioner Glasgow as tbe toast­ master of the evening. Mr. Furniss’ introduction left nothing to be desired, handing Mr. Glasgow a bunch of bou­ quets which were enjoyed by the ban­ queters fully as much as they were by the recipient. Glasgow ‘•came back,” of course, as he always does, for as was remarked by other of the speak­ ers during the evening, he who follows Glasgow's clip has to “go some.” Anyway, something rattled the toast­ master so that he skipped the male quartette which was down on the pro­ gram at this point, and had to sand­ wich it in later, getting away with it. however, with his usual'sang froid, whatever that is. Instead of the quar­ tette. he called upon Postmaster J. C. Ketcham of Hastings to respond to the subject of “Nashville's Educa­ tional Needs.” Mr. Ketcham is no stranger to Nashville people, and the audience knew that a treat was.in store for them, but we only express the universal opinion of those present when we say that Mr. Ketcham never made a better talk than tbe one which 1 he gave at this time. He knew his subject and was epthused by • it. We wish we might give it in full, but the gatling gun oratory of the speaker was too rapid for our stenographer, and those who were not present will have to miss it It was a strong plea, however, for more practical education along needful and helpful lines, for character building, for teaching the principles of good citizenship, for honesty and integrity being so in­ stilled into the minds of tbe young that they will not desire to follow for­ bidden paths after leaving school, but will endeavor to help to place themselves and the world at large on a higher plane of morality and right­ eousness. He advocated more of social economics, manual training, snd many other good ideas. He called attention to the minute percentage of high school graduates who attain a higher education, and urged that the education of tbe mass who do not go to higher schools be made more ap­ plicable to the vocations in life which they will follow. We wish that every friend and patron of our schools and every pupil might have heard it. It was such a talk as insures good re­ sults. About the time Mr. Ketcham had finished bis remarks the toastmaster awoke to the realization that he had skipped something good and called on the male quartette, composed of F. C. Lentz, Dr. F. F. Shilling, R. C. Townsend and Elzle Clifford. Their song was fine and was accorded hearty applause. Representative H. C. Glasner was next on the program, his subject being “Nashville’s Social Needs.’1 The subject was presented . in a masterly way and brought out numerous good suggestions. Then Leo Niles put on a whistling solo That boy is some whistler, too. We suppose he has some definite aim in life, but If he ever chooses to .for­ sake it and just live and have a good time, he would make a hit on the vaudeville circuit, though he probably LOCAL NEWS. won’t do it, for it wouldn t lobk well for tbe minister's son to make his Read Rothhaar’s ad. living that way.

In response to a petition generously signed by Nashville and Charlotte people, the Michigan Central has issued an order for the fast train east in the evening to stop at Thornapple lake on Sunday nights. This will give people from the east an oppor­ tunity to spend their Sundays at the lake and get home the same day, whether there is a regular excursion or not. The order went into effect last Sunday and will continue during the resort season. The play “Jim and the Singer” brought out but a small audience at the opera house Wednesday evening, but was one of the most meritorious performances which has been seen at that play house in years. The violin playing of Alan Villalr and the sing­ ing of Miss Codair were a treat worth alone the price of admission, and the play as a whole was very clever and well presented. We fear Nashville will lose her reputation as a show town if she lets such attractions pass with so meager patronage. About twenty-five members of Belle­ vue lodge, Knights of Pythias, made a. fraternal visit to Ivy lodge of this place Tuesday evening. They .brought with them one candidate for.-the rank of Esquire and two for the rank of Knight, both lodges joining in the work of the Esquire's rank, while the team from ivy lodge conferred the rank of Knight on the two from Belle­ vue and two candidates from Nashville. The Bellevue boys were served with supper at Barker’s when they came in the evening, and a lunch was served for all at the lodge rooms after the work was finished. It was verging into Wednesday before the smoker was finished ana tbe guests set out for home in their automobiles, declaring that they had spent a most enjoyable evening as the guests of Ivy lodge, and promising to come again. �- 15c a copy in, mil Tl>or*d»y, mens* Butterick patterns for copy of Butterick’s Loor* embroidery and braiding Monday Summer Fashions '.OtfwSL— of the^different F. t Read the want ads.

After the selection of a meeting place for 1912 and election of officers for the ensuing year, tbe third annual convention of the'Michigan Laundry­ men's association .came to an end. Martin Kelly of Detroit was compelled to accept re-election as president, al­ though first choice of the convention had been signified by the election of John H. Ryan, of Kalamaxoo. Mr. Ryan said that owing to his In­ ability to attend to the duties which would devolve upon him, he must de­ cline the honor. He nominated Presi­ dent Kelly, whose election was made unanimous. Mr. Rvan was. however, made first vice-president; C. H. Chld•sey of Detroit, second vice-president; Harry Mason of Detroit, secretary, and Eugene Stewart of Battle Ereek, was re-elected treasurer. Joe Lameasure was elected sergeant-at-arms. Flint was selected as the place to hold the next convention.

In addition the uni­ versity is entitled to a three-eighths of a mill tax on the equalised value of the state and the agricultural col­ lege to a one-tenth of a mill tax. It is expected that the equalized value of tbe state will be increased to $2,000,­ 000,000 this year, which will increase tbe tax levy for the benefit of those two institutions to $198,000. There must also be added approxi­ mately $13,000 to provide the funds tor a state aid of county schools of agri­ culture and for Inspection of contagi­ ous diseases.

The case of the state against .the Grand Trunk railroad, an action to recover back taxes to the extent of approximately $2,000,000, began before Judge McDonald in tbe circuit. court, opening another chapter in the litiga­ tion over the charter of the railroad. In the case is also involved the ques­ tion of whether the state can tax the railroad about $60,000 more annually. Kuhn and Roger Wykes will represent the state. Harrison Geer of Detroit, bead of tbe Grand Trunk's legal department, will represent tbe railroad. The charges made in tbe information by tbe state Is that for about 50 years the railroad has made false disclosures 1? reporting its value for purposes of taxation. It ia claimed by tbe state that from year to year tbe amount of stock paid In has been increased. The figures turned in by tbe railroad, it Is said, are $1,500,000. The state seeks to recover the taxes which would result were tbe figures changed In accordance with its contention, and the interest which had piled up in tbe half centnry or more during which It is alleged tbe railroad did not pay its just share of taxes. Should Be Chosen Outside State. Gov. Osborn says that the president of the state mining school at Houghton agrees with him, that whoever the expert the state tax commission hires to make the seappraisal of mining properties, he should not be an attache of any mining school in the country. Gov. Osborn says that the board of control of the Michigan Mining school Is composed of mining men. and while the school Is of the very highest grade and the graduates of a high class, yet be thinks an independent private min­ ing engineer would be the best man for tbe job. If a man is chosen from some min­ ing school-outside of the state, it might tend to cast a reflection on the Michi­ gan mining school, is the opinion of the president of the Michigan school, and Gov. Osborn agrees with him. Charges Laxity in Salt Inspection. Local politicians were given a sur­ prise when State Sait Inspector John Baird announced the appointment of Michael Casey, a lifelong Democrat, to supplant Deputy Inspector Stott at Manistee. Tbe change followed charges that the inspection of salt at tbe R. G. Peters block in Manistee was lax. Mr. Baird made a personal investi­ gation at Manistee and also at Chica­ go. where tbe product was received tn shipment, and came to the conclusion that If the Michigan inspection was to mean anything It should be In charge of experienced men. Mr. Casey and Mr. Baird worked to­ gether at tbe Saginaw Lumber & Salt company 20 years ago. Joy Morton, of the Morton Salt company of Chica­ go, was tbe first to draw tbe attention of Mr. Baird to the conditions. Railway Agents to Hurry Meeting. Instead of taking two days for the annual meeting, the Association of In­ dustrial and Agricultural agents of the railways finished with one day's ses­ sion at the Hotel Cadillac In Detroit, hearing a number of addressee on topics of their trade and electing offi­ cers.

ABOUT PAINT To see is to believe To believe is to buy To buy is to be satisfied And that is what a great many people have been doing the past twenty years by using B. P. S. paint. On account of its covering power two coats of B. P. S. paint will produce a more solid even surface and will cover better than three coatsof improperly hand-mixed dr prepared paint. Because of its spreading capacity, ease of applica­ tion and durability, B. P. S. paint is the most economicol and cheapest paint to buy on the market. Call, in and get a color card. C. L. GLASGOW.

We are anxious to list a number of good farms, in addition- to those we now have, for the summer and fall business. We intend making a strenuous campaign for outside buyers, and we want more farms to show them. If you have a good forty, sixty, eighty or even a larger farm, which you would like to dispose of, come in and get listed in our new book, which will go to many prospective buyers in other states as well as in Michigan. This is go­ ing to be a good time to sell if you desire to, and your time to get in the list is now. We know we can do better for you than you can do for yourself in a selling way, for we have means of getting in touch with hundreds of pros­ pective buyers in many different localities.

Strikers and the police had a bad mik-up at Grand Rapids Mondayevening, in which several people were badly injured, but no one killed. The police were obliged to use their clubs and revolver* to quell the riot, and as a last resort the fire department was called out. A heavy stream from the fire hose finally scattered live rioters and allowed the police to get away with several prisoners. The police force has been doubled and it is thought there will be no further trou­ ble. . Tbe Hastings Banner of last week, getting its Information probably from her aitorneyst say* that Mr*.

We are Informed by Supervisor Wolf of Maple Grove that there is a mistaken impression in regard to the amount of money raised in that town­ ship for permanent road work this ye<r. Tha sum of $1000 was raised for the road repair fund, which of course can be used in all parts of tbe township, but only for repair work. !□ addition to this, the sum of $1,500 was raised for the permanent highway fund. The’impression seemed to pre­ vail that this money.could be used on­ ly for bridges, but Supervisor Wolf sars that it will nearly all be avail­ able for the building of permanent r <>a^s, as only a small portion of it *111 be needed for bridges..

Pauline, 5-year old daughter of Mr. apd Mrs. Von W. Furniss, is serious­ ly ill, supposedly from the effects of ptomaine poisoning. She was first taken sick on Monaay night of last week, but her condition was not con­ sidered alarmibg until Thursday, when she became partially un­ conscious, and seemed to be gradually falling into a state o| coma. Dr. E. T. Morris had charge of the case,.and Dr. F. F. Shilling was called in con­ sultation, but tbe case still puzzled them. Dr. William Fuller of Grand Rapids was summoned, arriving Saturday night, together with Miss Boyle, a trained nurse. Dr. Fuller could make no more of tbe cate than the local doctors, but agreed with them that it was probably a case of poisoning ot some kind, though from what souime is extremely problemati­ cal. The little one, in company with other children, had eaten pie plant in tbe yard, but none of the others had been affected, so it is thought that Pauline might have got hold of some other plant which brought ou the ill­ ness. In spite of ail that doctors and nurse could do, resuscitation seemed slow, but on Monday it was thought that an Improvement was noted, which l>ecame plainly notice­ able on Tuesday, while yesterday she had made such good progress that it is now considered that she is practic­ ally out of danger, though still very ill and extremely weak. Tbe many friends of the little girl and her par­ ents hope that the improvement may­ be continuous and rapid until she is fully restored to health.

A very pretty wedding* occurred at tbe home of Mr. and Mrs. Hiram B. Miller of Woodland onWednesday evening, May 10, 1911, when their daughter Emma was united in marriage to Vane R. Wotring. Promptly at six o'clock Miss Bessie Weaver played the Lonengrin- wed­ ding march, and the bridal couple, attended by Glen Densmore as best man and Miss Agnes Reefer as brides­ maid, look their places in the parlor beneath a canopy^ of apple boughs and blossoms. The ceremony was performed by Rev. Cutler of Grand Rapids, a brother-in-law of the bride.The bride wore a gown of white silk mull and carried white carnations. The bridesmaid also wore white. After the congratulations the guests were seated in the dining room, which was decorated with pink carnations, where a two course luncheon was served by Miss Susfe Fisher and Miss Ruth Wageman. About thirty guests were present, those- from away being: Mrs. W. O. Nease and son Byron.of Owosso, Glen Wotring, Augusta, and Rev. and Mr*. Cutler and two chil­ dren* Grand Rapids. Mr. and Mrs. Wetring will go to housekeeping immediately on the farm of J. L. Wotring in Castleton. Thursday evening a wedding recep­ tion was held for the young people at the home of the groom's parent* in North Castleton, at which a large number of relatives and friend* were present and a very enjoyable time wa* had. Mr. and Mrs. Harvey Hall of Grand Rapids were among those who attended the reception. A WARNING. When you see an E. M. F. “30' ’ com­ ing down the road with a fleshy, red­ faced maniac at the wheel, it will be best to give the entire right of way. He does not stop even for dumb ani­ mals. Last Friday, while travelling along the road west of town at a mod­ erate rate of speed, he was suddenlyconfronted by a female member of the bovine family, who did not seem in the least disposed to give a share of |he road. He let the car glide up to within a few feet of the cow, when suddenly he shoved down die accel­ erator, ’the machine jumping ahead and pushing the animal into the ditch. We credit this ungentlemanly act either to the usual mania, ignorance of the mechanism of the car. or, as he emphatically denies that, to the size of his pedal extremities. But as he is the fellow who bands out our weekly stipend, it would seem un­ grateful to say more and we only mentioned it as a warning to the gen­ eral public. * ! DIDN’T FIT. County Clerk Thorpe recently pur­ chased an automobile, but after strug­ gling with it for several days, sold it. Want to know why? Well, you know Thorpe is a pretty bi^skr kid. They haven't nicknamed him ‘ ‘Fatty Grubb’’ yet, but he fit* it all right. Well,' when it came to getting in behind the steering wheel of the machine, be had to get a block and tackle and elevate hl* paunch before he could sit down. Then every time he turned tbe wheel it turned bi* stomach; that ishedidn't get sick to bis stomach or anything like that, but the wheel actually did turn his stom­ ach, because if the stomach laid on the wheel and the wheel turned,—well, you see, don't you? Now, the next thing on the program is a special ma­ chine, with more room on the front seal or a shorter steering post, and we really hope the next time we go to Hasting*, to see our jolly friend Thorpe properly fixed out with a ma­ chine into which be can climb with comfort, and which will give him room according to bis size. SUNDAY BAND CONCERTS. Nashville’* new cornel band gave it* first open air concert at the park last Sunday afternoon, and their excellent music was a surprise to the large crowd which congregated to hear it. It was estimated that there were between three and four hundred people at the park during the concert, and they were more than pleased with the quality of the music rendered. We wish it were possible for arrange­ ment*; to be made to have tbe concerts continued during the summer at least twice monthly. Putnam park isbeautful this spring, and it* beauties would be doubly appreciated if the band would furnish music during tbe afternoon. Of course, they could not be expected to contribute their services free every time, a* they did last Sunday, but we have no doubt their services could be secured for concerts once in two weeks at a very reasonable price; aud the town cnuld well afford to make such an arrangement. Let us have Sunday afternoon concerts. NOTICE. Tbe hours for using water for sprinkling lawns, gardens, etc., are from 5 to c o'clock a. m., and 5 to 8 o'clock p. m. Frank A. Pvbchiss, village clerk.

Read what Foley Kidney Pills have done for your neighbor. John H. Leader, 248 Lake Ave., Battle Creek, Mich., says: “For three years I was afflicted with a disuse of the kidneys which doctors called sugar diabetes. I doctored continually, but all to no effect. Finally I stopped doctoring apd started taking Foley Kidney Pills which I saw recommended so highly. A few weeks’ treatment of these pills relieved me of all my trouble and cured me of sugar diabetes and I feel better than I have been for three years, and can once more attend to my business affairs personally. 1 recommend Foley Kidney Pills to all my friends for I believe they are tbe best kidney and bladder medicine ever made.” Sold by C.

When they fail to do this the kidneys are sick. Backache and many kidney ills fol­ low, Urinary trouble, diabetes. Doan’s Kidney Pills cure them all. Nashville people endorse our claim. J. E. Surine, Phillips & GreggJSts., Nashville. Mibb., says: “My kidneys troubled me for t ears, the secretions being much too frequen’ in passage. Often my back became extremely lame and I was annoyed by acute pains through my kidneys. Seeing Doan's Kidney Pills advertised, I got a box from Furniss’ drug store and com­ menced their use. They strengthened my kidneys, relieved the aches and pains and also did away with the kidnej difficulty. I know that Doan’s Kidney Pills have helped me and consequently I am willing to give them my endorsement.” For sale by all dealers. Price 50 cents.

Government Starts Sult to End Trust Feighner. Alleged to Hold Buyers at Its Cow for sale. C. J. Morgan, five Mercy All Over Country—More miles north and one mile east of Than 150 Named aa Defendants. Nashville. New York, May 20.—In a suit re­ piste with sensational charges. Attor­ ney General Wickersham, through his special deputy, Clark McKercher, en­ tered suit In the United States circuit court In thia district asking that a permanent injunction be issued against the lumber trust restraining it from continuing a conspiracy In "undue and unreasonable restraint of trade.” This Is the government's first anti­ trust suit conforming to tbe Supreme court’s decision In tbe case of the Standard OH company. It was declared by government officials that this Is merely u precursor of a succession of similar suits to be brought against the giant monopolies of the country which have been responsible for the Increased cost of living. Conspiracy Is Charged. Ten trade organizations and more ,than 150 individuals are named as de­ fendants. They are alleged to have conspired among themselves and with the assistance of the National Whole­ sale Lumber Dealers* association to prevent wholesalers from selling di­ rectly or indirectly to consumers. The defendant corporations are: The Eastern States Retail Lumber Dealers* association of New York, with Offices at 18 Broadway. The New York Lumber Trade asso­ ciation of this city. The Building Material .Men's asso­ ciation of Westchester county. N. Y. The Lumber Dealers* association of Connecticut The Massachusetts Retail Lumber Dealers* association. The Lumber Dealers' association of Rhode Island. Tbe Retail Lumbermen's association of Baltimore. Officers Made Defendants. Tbe officers and directors, trustees and members of the foregoing are named as individual defendants, as well as the officers and directors and members-of the following voluntary organizations: The New Jersey Lum­ bermen's Protective association, the Retail Lumbermen's association of Philadelphia and the Lumber Ex­ change of the District of Columbia. Attorney General Wickersham and Special Assistant Clark McKercher have devoted more than a year to gathering the evidence upon which tbe suit Is based. The evidence In­ cludes copies of -the alleged agree'ments, blacklists and reports of' the various organizations, branding whole­ salers and retailers, who have dared violate the rules of the trust as “poachers.** "scalpers," “mavericks*' and 'Illegitimate dealers’* to whom “short shifts” must be applied. Officials both here and tn Washing­ ton said that the advisability of crim­ inal actions against Individual officials of the trust would depend upon the nature of the evidence adduced at the trial. Many of the great industrial con­ cerns of the country, it Is alleged, have been put under the ban of the trust Strayed from my barn Thursday night, a chestnut colored mare, which I recently purchased.

PREMIER AND SON INJURED ■Several Others Are Hurt When Avia­ tor Loses Control of Airship and It Swoops Down Upon Spectators at Start of Big Race. ' Paris, May 22.—A monoplane driven by Aviator Train became unmanage­ able at Isay Les Mollneaux and plunged directly into the great crowd of spectators. The minister of war, M. Berteaux, was Instantly killed. The premier, Antoine E. Monls. was seriously. If not fatally, injured. The premier's son. Antoine, Jr., and Henri de la Mourlhe and a number of others were also injured. Great Interest In Event Tbe accident occurred at the start of what may still be the most ambi­ tious aviation event Europe has ever known—a race from Pans to Madrid. The distance Is 900 mile*, divided Into three stages, each aeroplane to carry a driver and one passenger. So great was the Interest In this event that tbe premier, the members of bls cabinet and 150,000 spectators were gathered at Issy, which field bears the same relation to Paris that Belmont park bears to l^ew York. To prevent the spectators from crowding around the hangars and; upon the starting green, troops of cavalry were stationed about the field. Conditions Were Dangerous. Conditions were not propitious from the start. A strong and ever­ increasing wind swept across the field. By the time the three contest­ ants had, by skillful maneuvering, ta­ ken to tho air, the gale had increased to thirty miles an hour. The fourth contestant arose unsteadily, swung Into.the teeth of the wind, lost his balance and fell heavily. Both the aviator and his passenger escaped with bruises, although the aeroplane was smashed to bits. Train had made one circle and. al­ though still quite close to the ground, appeared to be in complete control. As he swung around the second time, a troop of cavalry moving across the field appeared directly In his path. Aeroplane Crashes Into Crowd. Train moved his planes desperately, hoping In the strong winds to rise sufficiently to sail over the soldiers and their mount*. He succeeded In rising, but lost control of hte machine, which swung in the direction of a group con­ taining the most distinguished specta­ tors on the field, and then crashed heavily upon them. Premier Monls. bls son Antoine. Jr., .Minister Berteaux. Henri de la Mourthe, the latter famous throughout France as an expert on aeronautics, were scattered right and left as though they were ten-pins struck.by a ball. Berteaux. struck by the whirl­ ing propeller, was dead when taken from the ground. The Injuries to Monls were at first believed to bo fa­ tal, but the doctors state that he will probably survive. Strange as it may appear. Train and his passenger escaped practlcally ‘ “ un­ hurt, although their machine was smashed to splinters. Berteaux Was a Socialist. Maurice Berteaux, the dead minister of war. was one of the most brilliant men in France. He was a Socialist. Before entering Premier Monis' cabi­ net he made a great fortune as a stock broker. He was among the first to recognize the great value of the aeroplane in war and under his direc­ tion the French army Is more thor­ oughly equipped with air craft than -oiny other. He advocated the use of both monoplanes and biplanes, the. lat­ ter on account of their great stability. He was born tn 1852. Insurractos Sign Declaration Dl' recti ng Immediate Ending of War. Juarez, Mexico, May 22.—Officially, designated representatives of the Mex­ ican government and the revolution­ ists signed a peace agreement at tbe customs house here intended to end the hostilities that have-been waged in Mexico for the last six months. Though covering only the principal points negotiated thus far the agree­ ment practically records the conces­ sions by the government of those de­ mands which started armed revolution In Mexico. Constitutional restrictions prevent­ ed the inclusion in tbe agreement of the fact that the rebels will be per­ mitted to suggest to various state leg­ islatures the names of provisional gov­ ernors, and likewise the fact that six of the eight new cabinet members have been chosen by the revolution­ ists, but the agreement records that President Diaz -and Vice-President Corral will resign before the end of tbe present month and that hostilities shall cease at once. Eagle Pass, Tex.. May 23.—In a des­ perate fight between Mexican insurrectos and Chinamen at Torreon 225 Chinese were killed. This informa­ tion was received here by Sam Wah, owner of the International hotel at Ciudad Porfirlo Diaz, across the river from here. Details of the reported slaughter have not reached here except that of the number of Chinamen killed ’w’ere fifty of Wah’* ranchmen. Wah has telegraphed the Chinese minister at Washington, asking for protection. BOILER Our line includes the Celebrated Munsing Ufiion Suits for men, children and ladies.

The top of the boiler was hurled fifty feet from the engine. ELECT RUNNELLS AS Chicago. May 20.—Robert Todd Lin­ coln, son of Abraham Lincoln, pre­ sented his expected resignation as president of the Pullman company at a meeting of the directors in Chicago and was elected chairman of the board. John Sumner Runnells, vice-presi­ dent and general counsel of the com­ pany. was elected president. Charles S.

I will myself harry them. I cannot live and do my duty here un- ! less this crime is avenged by law.” ' Chilled, shaking and numb, he set : spurs to his horse and rode furiously j down the trail toward tbe nearest town, so eager to spread the alarm that he could scarcely breathe a deep breath. On the /steep slopes he was forced to walk, and bls horse led so badly that *hls agouy of impatience was deepened. He had a vision of tbe murderers riding fast Into far coun trien. Each bou- made their appre­ hension progressively tbe more dlffi culL x “Who were they?" be asked himself again and again. "What kind of man did this thing? Was the leader a man like Ballard? Even so. he was hired. By whom? By ranchers covetous of the range; that was absolutely cer­ tain." It was long after noon before be came to the end of the telephone line In a little store and postoffice at the upper falls of Deer creek. Tbe tele­ phone bad a booth fortunately, and be soon had Redfield’s ear. but his voice was so strained and unnatural thxt his chief did not recognize It ' “Is that you. Ross? What's tbe mat­ ter? Your voice sounds hoarse." Ross composed himself and told bls story briefly. "I’m nt Kettle Ranch postoffice. Now listen. Tbe limit of the cattleman's ferocity has been reached. As T rode down here to get into communication with a doctor for a sick herder I came u|>on tbe acene of another murder and burning. Tbe Are is still smoldering. At least two bodies are In the embers." At last, bit by bit. from hurried speech, the su|M*rvisor derived the fact, the location, the* hour, nnd di­ rected the herder to ride ba'-k and guard the remains till tbe sheriff ar rived. “Keep It all quiet.” warned Russ, “and get the sheriff nnd a doctor to come up here ns quick as you can What Is this country coming to*' he cried In despair. "Will this deed go unpunished like the rest?" , Redfield’s voice had lost Its oprimla tic ring. ”1 don't know; 1 am stun ned by it all. Don’t do anything rash Rohs. Walt till 1 come. Perhaps thb* Is tbe turning point out here. I’ll be up at the earliest moment." The imbirtered and disheartened ranger then called up Lee Virginia, and the sound of her sweet voice turn­ ed his thoughts to other aud in a sense more Important matters, for when she heard hh* name she cried out with such eager longing and ap­ peal that his heart leaped. "Ob. I wish you were here! Mother baa been worse today. Sho is asking for you. Can’t you come down and see ub? She want’ to tell you something.” “I can’t—I can’t!” be stammered. “I —I—I’m a long way off, and I have Important work to do. Tell her I will come tomorrow. Dear girl, there L« a sics man far up on the mountain side with no one to care for him but a poor old berdvr who is In ganger of failing sick himself. I must go back to them; but, believe me, I will come just as soon as my duties will let me. You understand me. don’t you?" Her voice was fainter as she said. “Yes, but I—it seems hard to wait." “I know. Your voice has helped me. I was in a black mood when I came here. I’m going back now to do my work, and then 1 will come to you. Goodby.” Strangely beautiful and very subtle .was the vibrant stir of that wire as it conveyed back to his ear the little sigh with which she made answer to bls plea. He took his way upward Id a mood which was meditative, but no longer bitter. CHAPTER XY. “ SHADOWS ON TUX MIST. HE decision which Cavanagh made between love and duty distinguished the officer from the man. tbe soldier from the civilian. He did not hesitate to act. and yet be suffered a mental conflict as be rode back toward tbe scene of that inhuman sacrifice on the altar of greed. “It will be hours before any part of the sheriff's posse can reach the falls, even though they lake to tbe swiftest motors, and then other long hours must intervene before 1 can ride down to her. Yes, at least a day and a night must drag their slow course before I can hope to be of service to her.” And the thought drew a groan of anxiety from him. At such moments of mental stress the trail Is a torture and the mountain side an inexorable barrier. Halfway to the bills be was inter­ cepted by an old man who was at work on an irrigating ditch beside the road. He seemed very nervous and very inquisitive, and as he questioned the ranger bls eyes were like those of a dog that fears his master’s band. Roas wondered about this afterward, but at the moment his mind was busy with the significance of this patient toller with a spade. He was a prophet­ ic figure in tbe most picturesque and sterile land of the stockman. “Here, within twenty miles of this peaceful fruit grower.” be said, "is tho crown­ ing infamy of tbe freebootlng cowboy." He wondered as be rode on whether the papers of tbe state would make a jest of this deed. "Will this be made tho theme for caustic comment in the eastern press for a day and then be forgotten?*' ' As his hot blood cooled he lost faith tn even this sacrifice. Could anything change the leopard west into tho tame­ ness and serenity of the ox? “No,", he T there beside those charred limbs call ed for heroic resolution. He was hun­ gry. too. and as the air pinched be shivered. “At the best tbe sheriff cannot reach here before midnight.” be said, and settled down to bls unsought, revolting vigil. His one relief lay In the mental com­ position of a long letter to Lee Vir­ ginia, whose life nt tbat moment was a comfort to him. “If such purity, such sweetness, can come ‘ from vlolence and vulgarity’ then surely a new and splendid state can rise even out of the ashes of these murdered men. Perhaps this Is the end of tbe old.” he mused, "perhaps this Is tbe begin­ ning of the new,” and as be pondeied tbe last faint crimson died out of the west “So must tbe hate and violence die out of America," he said, “leaving tbe clear, sweet air of liberty behind." He was near to the poet at tbe mo­ ment. for be was also tbe lover. His allegiance to the great republic stood tbe test His .faith Id democracy was shaken, but not destroyed. “I will wait” be decided. "This shall be the sign. If this deed goes unavenged then will I put off my badge and my uniform and go back to the land where for a hundred years at least such deeds as these have been Impossible.” He built a Ore as night fell to serve both as a beacon and as a defense against the cold. He felt himself weirdly remote in -this vigil. From his far height he looked abroad upon the tumbled plain as if upon an ocean dimly perceptible, yet augusL “At this moment,” be said, “curious and per­ haps guilty eyes are wondering wbat my spark of firelight may mean.” His mind went again and again to tbat tall old man tn the ditch. What was tbe meaning of his scared and sorrowful glance? Why should one so peacefully employed at such a time and Id such a place wear the look of a bunted deer? What meant the tre­ mor in bls voice? Was it possible tbat one so gentle should have taken part In this deed? “Preposterous suspicion, and yet he had a guilty look.” At last, far Id the night, be heard the snort of a horse and tbe sound of voices. Tbe law tsueb as it was)zwns creeping up tbe mountain side in the person of the sheriff of Chauvenct county and was about to relieve tbe ranger from bis painful responsibility as guardian of tbe dead. At last be came, this officer of tbe law, attended (like a Cheyenne chief! by a dozen lesser warriors of various conditions and kinds, but among them —indeed, second only to tbe sheriff — was Hugh Redfield, the forest super­ visor, hot and eager with baste. As they rode up to tbe fire tbe offi>-<*r called out: “Howdy, ranger? H>>w about it?"(TO BE rONTTNUED.) Oldest Olty of Earth. Damascus has the honor of tJng the oldest city. �- ——...... Officers C.

At the same time he was struck by the brake beam or some other projecting part of the running gear and with such force as to throw him against the cattle guard fence. Again he rolled back under the -wheels, but was again thrown clear of danger as at first, this time landing out of narm’s way. The train was stopped and Gale was pick­ ed up, partly unconscious and with blood gushing from his mouth, and was taken to'Beadle lake, where he re­ ceived the best attention of the phy­ sicians.

Nashville fans were treated to a first class exhibition of the national game Tuesday afternoon at Riverside ark, when the local high school team feated the Hastings high school by a score of 5 to 4, the winning run being scored in the last inning. The absence of any quarreling or wrang­ ling was a pleasant feature of the con­ test and was highly appreciated by the crowd in attendance. The game was more or less of a slugging match, the home team havibg the best of it in the wav of clean hits, and only their failure to connect in pinches kept the score as close as it was. If you would increase your happi^. ness and prolong your life, forget your neighbors’ faults. Forget all the slander you ever beard. Forget the temptations. Forget the faultfinding, and only remember the good points which make you fond of them. For­ get all personal quarrels, ail histories you may have heard by accident, and which, if. repeated, would sound a thousand times worse than they are. Blot out, as far as possible, all the disagreeableness of life; they will come, but will only grow larger when you remember them, and the constant thought of the ads of meanness, or, worse still, malice, will only tend to make you familiar with them.

How To Cure Yourself It Is no longer necessary to spend months and months undergoing a com­ plicated treatment for rheumatism, kidney or bladder trouble, or spend a good many dollars In doctors* bills. A new treatment can now be ob­ tained which seems to act more like a marvel than a medicine. This treat­ ment has produced such satisfactory results in a short time that It is now guaranteed from first to Is st. There should be no more doubt about the rapid cure of rheumatism, no fears of the fatal termination of treacherous JcMney disease or dropsy. Rheumatism means nothing more nor less than that your kidneys do not work properly. Tour blood passes through the kidneys hundreds of times a day to be filtered and purified. When the kidneys are weak, the poisons are not taken out of the blood as they should be. This leads to various dis­ eases. such as rheumatism, terrible Bright's disease, diabetes, dropsy and bladder trouble. The new guaranteed treatment is Dr. Derby’s Kidney Pills. One day's use of them will prove their remarkable effect. M. T. Ridenour of Lima Ohio, says: "When I feel bad in my back. I just take a couple of Derby's Kidney Pills and get immediate relief." If you have rheumatism anywhere, back peins, cloudy, foul urine, pains tn the bladder. Bright's disease or dia­ betes, put your whole confidence in Dr. Derby’s Kidney Pills, and you will not be disappointed. Dr, Derby's Kidney Pill# are sold al all drug stores—2b and 50 cents, or we will send them direct from the labratory of Derby Mtdiaine Co., Eaton Rapids, Mich. If you wish to try them first, just ask your druggist to give your druggist to give you a free sam­ ple package. CATARRH CANNOT BE CURED with local applications, as they can-1 not roach the «eat of the disease. Catarrh is a blood or constitutional | disease, and in order to- cure it you must take internal remedies. Hall's Catarrh Cure is taken internally, and acts directly on the blood and mucous surfaces. Hall's Catarrh Cure is not a quack medicine It was prescribed by one of the best physicians in this country for years and is a regular Erescription. It is composed of the । tat tonics known, combined with the best blood purifiers, acting directly on the mucous surfaces. The perfect combination of the two ingredients is what produces such wonderful results in curing catarrh. Send for testimon­ ials free. F. J. CHENEY’ & CO., Props.. Toledo, Ohio.

One morning a man entered bis office, said he bad come in response to lhe adver­ tisement and asked the money lender to describe the property. The descrip­ tion was satisfactory and the finder threw the wallet on the table. *'There it is,” he said, “please count the contents and see if the money is all there ” The money lender, elated to find his pocketbook, carefully counted tbo bills.

But meanwhile I wrsb you would go to the Fork and see what you enn do for her." Hls voice, filled with emotion, touch­ ed Redfield, and be said. "Can't I go to the relief of the herder?" . "No; you must not think of It You are a man with a family. But If you can find any one who has had the smallpox send him up. The old herder who is nursing the patient Is not strong and may drop at any moment Then It’s up to me.” ’ The men camp back to the campfire conversing In low tones, some of them cursing Id tones of awe. One or two of them were small farmers from Deer Creek, recent comers to the state, or men with bunches of milk cowa. and to them this deed was awesome. The sheriff followed, saying: "Well. there’s nothing to do but wait till morning. The rest of you men better go home. You can't be of any uw here.” For more than three hours the sher­ iff and Redfield sat with the ranger, waiting for davllgbL and during this time the name of every man in the re­ gion was brought up and discussed. Among others, Ross mentioned the old man in the ditch. "He wouldn’t hurt a bumblebee,” de dared the sheriff. "He’s got a bunch of cattle, but he’s the mildest old man to the state. He's the last rancher In the country to even stand for su<-h work. What made you mention him?" “I passed him as 1 was riding back." replied Cavanagh, "and he bad a scared look tn his eyes.” The sheriff grunted. “You Imagined all thnL The old chap always has n kind of meek look." It was nearly noon of a glorious day as Cavanagh, very tired and very hun­ gry. rode up to the sheep herder’s tent Wetberford was sitting in the aun calmly smoking his pipe, the sheep were feeding uot far away, attended by the dog. end an air of peace covered hla sunlit rocky world. “How la the Basque?” /asked the ranger. Wetberford pointed upward. “All “Then It wasn’t smallpox T' “I reckon that's what it was; It sure was fierce. 1 judge it’s a case of Injun burial—no ceremony—right here In the rocks. I’ll let you dig the hole (I'm just about all Im. but mind you keep to the windward all the time 1 don’t want you spotted." Cavanagh understood the necessity for these precautions, but first of all came bis own need of food and rest Turning bis tired horse to grass, be stretched himself along a grassy, suu- AH these things Wetberford did. and. leaving the camp in ashes behind him. Cavanagh drove the sheep before him on his homeward way. As night fell the dog. at bls command, rouuded them up and put them to bed. and the men went on down the valley, leaving the brave brute on guard, pathetic fig­ ure .of faithful guardianship. “It hurts me to desert you. old fel­ low," called the ranger, looking hack, "but there's no help for IL I'll come up In the morning and bring you some biscuit.” It was long after dark when they entered the canyon just above the cab­ in. and Wetberford was shivering from cold and weakness. “Now. you pull up just outside the gate ^nd wait there till I bring out some blankets. Then you've got to strip to the skin and start the world •nh \ . ALL OVER " all over again." said Cavanagh. ’TH build a fire here, aud we'll cremate your past. How about It?" "I'm willing." responded Wether­ ford. "You can burn everything that belongs to me but my wife and uiy girl." All through the ceremony which fol­ lowed ran this self banter. “1'11 be all ranger, barring a commission," he said, b «ju, .with . witu au grin «rui as be ue put on ou the tue olive yellow shirt and a pair of dusty green trousers. "And here goes my past!” he added as be tossed ills con­ taminated rags upon the fire. “What a corking opportunity to make a fresh start." commented Cavanagh. “1 hope you see IL" "I set* IL but it’s bard to live up to ygur mark." •When every precaution had been taken th? ranger led the freshly scrub­ bed. scoured and transformed fugitive to hls cabin. "Why, man. you're fit for the state legislature:'* he exclaimed as they came into the full light. "My clothes don't precisely meet every demand you make upon them, but they give you an air of command. 1 wish your wife could see you now." Then, seeing that Wetberford was really In earnest, he added: "You can stay with me as long as you wish. Perhaps in time you might t>e able to work Into the service as a guard, although the chief is get­ ting more and more Insistent on reai • foresters." There were tears In Wetherford’s eyes as be said: "You cannot realize what this clean, warm un’form means to me. For nine years 1 wore Ute prison stripes. It Is ten years since 1 was dressed like a man.” "You need not worry about food or shelter for the present." replied Ca- ?.nagh gently. "Grub Is not costly here, and house rent is less than nominal, so make yourself at home and get strong.” Wetherford lifted hls bead. “But 1 want to do something. I want to re­ deem myself In some way. I don’t want my girl to know who I am. but I’d like to win her respect 1 can’t be what you say she thinks I was, but if I had a chance I might show my­ self a man again. 1 wouldn’t mind Llze knowing that J am alive. It might be a comfort to her. But 1 don’t want even her to be told till I can go to her In my own duds." “She’s pretty' sick,” said Cavanagh. “I telephoned Lee Virginia last night, and If you wish you may ride down with me tomorrow and see her." The old man fell a-tremble. daren't do that I can’t Dear to tell her where l've been." "She needn't know. I will tell her you’ve been out of your mind. I’ll say anything you wish. Yon can go to her In the clothes you have on if you like. She will not recognize yon as the pria oner I held the other night. You can have your beard trimmed, and not even the justice will know you." ' All reserve had vanished out of the convict’s heart, and with choking voice be thanked hls young host “1’11 never be a burden to you." he de­ clared in a firmer voice. “And If my lung bolds out I'll show you I'm not the total loco that-1 'pear to be.” CHAPTER XVI. W T breakfast next morning Cava/\ nagb said: **I must ride back / \ and take some bread to the A A dog. I can’t go away anti leave him there without saying hello." “Let me do that." suggested Wether­ ford, “I’rfi afraid to go down to the Fork. I reckon I'd better go back and. tend the sheep till Gregg sends some one up to take my place.” •That might be tob late to see Llze. Lee's voice showed great anxiety. Sbt may be on her deathbed. No: you'd better go down with me today," he urged. And at last the old man con­ sented. , Putting some bread In hls pockets. Boss rode off up the trail to see bow the dog and bls flock-were faring. Hr bad not gone far when tie beard the tinkle of the bells and the murmur*ot the lambfl. and a few moments later the collie came toward him with the air of a boy who. having assumed to disregard the orders of bis master, ex­ pects a scolding. He plainly said: “I’ve brought my sheep to you because 1 was lonesome. Please forgive me.” Cavanagh called to him cheerily and tossed him a piece of bread, which be caught in bls teeth, but did not swal low. On the contrary, he held it while leaping for joy of the praise he heard in his new found master's voice. Turning the flock upward toward the higher peaks, the ranger commanded the collie to their heels and so, having redeemed bls promise, rode back to the cabin, where be found Wetberford sad­ dled and ready for bis momentous trip to the valley. He bad shaved away bls gray beard, and bad Roas been un­ prepared for these changed be would have been puzzled to account for this decidedly military figure sitting statuesquely on hls pony before the door. “You can prove an alibi.” be called as be drew near. "Gregg himself would never recognize you now.” Wetberfhrd was in no mood for jok­ ing. “Llze will. I wore a mustache In the old days, and-there's a scar on my chin.” • ' - ' As be rode he confided this strange thing to Cavanagh. “J know." said he. "that Llze is old and wrinkled, for I've seen her. but all 'the same 1 can't re­ alize It. That heavy set .woman down there is nut Llze. My Llze is slim and straight. This woman whom you know has stolen her name and face, that's all. I can't, explain exactly what I feel, but Lee Virginia means more to me now than Llze." "I think I understand you." said Cavanagh, with sympathy in his voice. The nearer Wetberford came to the actual meeting with hls wife the more be shook. At last he stopped in the road. "I don't believe I can do it." be declared. "I'll be like a ghost to bey. What’s the use of It? She'll only be worried by my story. I reckon I'd better keep dark to everybody. Let nx; go back. I'm plum scared cold." While still be argued two men on horseback rounded a sharp turn in the trail and came face to face with the ranger. Wetherford's face went suddenly gray. "There's the deputy!” “Keep quiet 1’11 do the talklag." commanded Cavanagh. *wbo was in­ stant in bis determination to shield the man. "Good morn lug. gentlemen." be called cheerily. “You're abroad early!" The wan In front was the deputy sheriff of the county: bls companion was a st ranger. ■ “That was a horrible mess you stum­ bled on over on Deer creek." the dep­ uty remarked. ’ ( "It certainly was. Have any arrests been made?" * "Not yet. but we're on a clew. This Is Marshal Haines of Dallas, Mr. Cav­ anagh." pursued the deputy. The two men nodded in token of the introduc­ tion. and the deputy went on. "You remember that old chss that used to work for Gregg?" Again Cavanagh nodded. “Well, that chap la wanted by the Texas authorities. Mr. Haines here wants to see him mighty bad. He's an escaped convict with a bad record ", “la that so?" exclaimed Cavanagh. “1 thought Be seemed a bit gun shy." "The last seen of him was when Sam Grogg sent him up to herd sheep. I think he was mixed up in that killing myself—him and Ballard—and we're going up to get some track of him. Didn’t turn up at your station, did her “Yes: he came by some days ago. on bis way. so be said, to relieve that sick Basque. Ambro. 1 went up a couple of days ago and found the Basque dead and the old man gone. I buried the herder the best I could, and I’m on my way down to report the case." The deputy mused: “He mny be banging round some of the lumber camps. I reckon we had better go up and look the ground over nnyhow. Wc might just chance to overhaul him." “lie may have pulled out over the Tange." suggested the ranger. “Any­ how, it’s a long way up there, and you'll probably have to camp at my place tonight. You’ll find the key hanging over the door. Go in and make yourself comfortable." The deputy thanked him and was about to ride on when Cavanagh add­ ed: “I burned that Basque's tent nud bedding for fear of contagion. His outfit was worthless anyhow. You'll find the sheep Just above my cabin and the horse in my corral." "The old tqan didn't take the horse, eh? Well, that settles It; he's sure at one of the camps. Much obliged. Good day." * As the two officers rode away Weth.erford leaned heavily on hts (>ommel and stared at the ranger with wide eyes. Hls fare was drawn an:l hl* lips dry. 'They'll get me! They’ll gel me!" he Bald. “Ob. no, they won't.” rejoined Cava­ nagh. “You're all right yet, . They suspect nothing. How could they, with you hi uniform and in my com­ pany r "All the same. I'm. scared. That man Haines had bls eyes on me every minute. He saw right through me. They'll get me. and they’ll charge me up with that killing.*' "No, they won't. I tell you." Insisted the ranger. •‘Hainan suspected nothing. fore and has nothing but a descrip­ tion to go by. so -cheer up. Your uni­ form and your position wkh me will make you safe—perfectly safe. They'll find the Basque's camp burned and the sheep in charge of the dog, aud they'll fancy that you have skipped across the range. But see here, old man.." and he turned on him sharply, "you didn’t tell me the whole truth.. You said you were out on parole." "I couldn’t tell you the whole truth.” replied the fugitive. “But I will now. I was Ln for a life sentence. I was desperate for the open air and home­ sick for the mountains, and I sjruck dawn one of the guards. 1 was will­ ing to do anything to get out. 1 thought If I could get back to this country and my wife and child I'd be safe. 1 said I'd be willing to go back to the pen if necessary, but I'm not I can’t do it. I’d die there. You must save me for my girl’s sake." His voice and eyes were wild with a kind of desperate fury of fear, and Cavanagh, moved to pity, assured him of his aid. “Now, listen.” be. said. "I'm going to shield you on account of your work for that poor shepherd and for your daughter's sake. It's my duty to apprehend you, of course, but I’m going to protect you. The safest thing for you to do Is To go back to my cabin. Ride slow, so as not to get there till they're gone. They’ll ride over to the sawmill without doubt, if they come back this way remember that the deputy saw you only as a ragged old man with n long beard and that Haines has nothing but a printed description to go by. There's no use trying to flee. You are a marked than In that uniform, and you are safer right here with me than any­ where else this side of Chicago. Haines is likely to cross the divide in lhe belief that you have gone that way. and If he does you have no one but the deputy to deal with." He succeeded at last In completely rousing the older man's courage. Wetberford rose to meet bls-opportu­ nity. "I'll do It.” be said firmly. * “That's the talk!" exclaimed Cav­ anagh to encourage him. "You can throw them off the track this time, and when I come back tomorrow I'll bring some other clothing for you, and then we’ll plan some kind of scheme that will get you out of the country. I'll not let them make a scapegoat of you." The ranger watched the fugitive as he started back over the trail In this desi»erate defiance of bls pursuers with far fess confidence in the outcoine than he had put into words. "All depends on Wetherford himself. If his nene dues not fall him. If they take the uniform for granted and do not carry the matter to the supervisor, we will pull the plan through." And In this hope he rode away down the trail with bent head, for all this bore heavily upon his relationship to the girl waiting for him in the valley. He had thought Llze a burden, a social disability, but a convict fatheg nowmade the mother's faults of small ac­ count. The nearer he drew to the meeting with Lee Virginia the more Important that meeting became. Cavanagh bad seen Virginia hardly mors than a score of times, and yet she filled his thought, confused his jjlans. making of his brain a place of doubt and hesitation. For her sake be laid entered upon a plan to shield a criminal, to harbor an es­ caped convict. It was of no avail to argue that he was moved to shield Wetberford because of his heroic’ac­ tion on the peak. He knew perfectly well that It whs because be could not »ee that fair, brave girl further dis­ graced by the discovery of her father's identity, for in the searching inquiry which would surely'1 follow his secret would develop. To marry her. knowing the character of her father and her mother, was madness, and the voice within him warned him of his folly. "Pure wa­ ter cannot be drawn from corrupt sources," It Is said. Nevertheless the thought of having the girl with him in the wilderness filled him with di­ vine recklessness. While still he de­ bated. alternately flushed with resolve to be happy and chilled by some strange dejection, be met Swenson, the young guard who guarded the forest on the South Fork. As he rode up Cavanagh perceived tn the other man's face something pro­ foundly serious. He did not smile in greeting, as was usual with him. and. taking some letters from bls pocket passed them over tn ominous silence. He bad a face of such bitterness that it broke through even the absorbed and selfish meditation into which Cav­ anagh bad been thrown. "What's the matter, Swenson? You look as If yon had lost a friend.” "I have," answered the guard short­ ly. “and so have you. The chief is out." "Whatr "They’ve got him!" be exclaimed "He's out." Cavanagh sprang up. “I don’t be­ lieve it! For what reason? Why?" "Don’t that letter tell you? The whole town Is chuckling. Every criminal and plug ugly in the country Is spitting in our faces this morning. Yes, sir. the president has fired the chief—the man that built up this forestry service. The whole works is' going to h—. that's what it is. ^jVe’ll have all the coal thieves, water power thieves, poachers and free grass pirates piling In on us In mobs. They'll eat up the forest. J see the finish of the whole business They’ll put some western man !n- somebody they can work. Then where will we be?’ Cavanagh's young heart burned with indignation, but he tried to check the other man's torrent of protest. “1 can’t believe It There’s some mistake. Maybe they’ve made him the secretary of the department or something.” “No, tbey haven’t. They've thrown him out. They've downed him- be­ cause he tried to head off some thiev­ ery of coal mines In Alaska." The man was ready to weep with chagrin and Indignant sorrow.. His voice choked, and be turned away to con­ ceal his emotion. ' Cavanagh put the letter back Into hls pocket and mounted^ bls horse. “Well, go on back to your. work. Swenson. I'm going to town to get the supervisor on the wire and find out what It al) means." . He was almost ns badly stunned by the significance of Swenson's news as Swenson himself. Could it be possible that the man who had built up the field’ service of the bureau—the man whose clean handed patriotism had held the boys together, making them every year more clearly a unit, a lit­ tle army of enthusiasts—could it bo possible that the originator, the or­ ganizer of this great plan, had been stricken down Just when bls influence was of most account? He refused tu believe It of an administration pledged to the'cause of conservation. As he entered the town he was struck instantly by the change in the faces turned toward him, hi the jocu­ lar greetings buried at him. "Hello. Mr. Cossack! What no you think tff your chief now?” •This will put. an end to your in­ fernal nonsense,” said another. "We'll CAVXJiAGH PEX5ED UIS RESIGNATION AND MAILED IT. have a man In there now who knows the western ways and who’s willing to boom things along. The cork Is out of your -forest bottle." Gregg was must offensive of all. This means throwing open the forest to anybody that wants to use It— means an entire reversal of this fool policy." "Walt and see," replied Cavanagh. But bls face was rigid with the ex­ pression of the fear and anger he felt. With bands that trembled he opened the door to the telephone booth, closed It carefully behind him and called for the supervisor's office. As soon as Redfield replied be burst forth In question, “Is It true that the chief Is out?’ Redfield's voice was husky as' be re­ plied, "Yes, lad; they've got him.” "Good Lord, what a blow to the serv­ ice'." exclaimed Cnyanagh with a groan of sorrow and rage. "What Is the president thinking of to throw out the only man who stood for the future —the man who had built up this corps, who was its Inspiration?" Then after a pause he added, with bitter resolution: •This ends it for me. Here's where I get off." “Don't say that, boy. We need you now more than ever.” “I'm through. I'm done with Amer­ ica—with the States. I -shall write my resignation at once. Send down an­ other man to take my place." Redfield's pleadings were of no avail. Cavanagh went dlrcctiy from the booth to the postoffice, and there, sur­ rounded by jeering aud exultant citi­ zens. be penned hls resignation and mailed It. Then, with stern and con­ temptuous face, be left the place, mak­ ing no reply to the jeers of hls ene­ mies, and. mounting bls horse, me­ chanically rode away out upon the plains, seeking the quiet, open places in order to regain calmness and de­ cision. He did not deliberately ride away from Lee Virginia, but.as he en­ tered upon the oj>en country be knew that he was lesvlug her as he was leaving the forests. He had cut him­ self off from her as he bad cut him­ self off from the work be loved. Bls heart was swollen big within bls breest. He longed for the return of ’the eol<»nel" to the White House. “What maisner of ruler Is this who is ready to Itrlke down the man whose very name means conservation and who In a few years would have made this body of forest rangers the most effective con»s of Its size in the world?* He groaned again, and hls throat ached with the fury of hla indignation. “Dlsnilssed for insubordination," t!:e report said, "in what way? Only h» making war on greed, in ebe< kJnjr graft, in preserving the heritage of (he people.” (TO BE CONTINUED.) Took the Hint.

The Nashville Woman’s Literary club desires to call the attention of highway commissioners, overseers of highways and telephone companies ot Barry county to Chapter XI of the Publf: Acts Qf 1909—laws relating to shade trees in highways. The law reads as follows: “Shade trees shall be planted along both sides of the public highway at a uniform distance, as near as may be. of *81x15 feet anart. All trees now growing upon the sides of any high­ way and all trees that may hereafter be planted thereon, standing more than sixty feet apart, shall be pre­ served and shall not be injured or removed unless by direction of the commissioner of highways and with THE CONSENT OF THE OWNER of the adjoining land unless such trees shall interfere with or obstruct the travel on the highway.” Sec. 2 provides that highway com­ missioners may cause to be set out each year trees amounting -to 10 per cent, of the road repair tax. Sec 4 provides further that tele­ phone companies shall not injure, de­ face, tear, cut down or destroy any tree or shrub planted along the mar­ gin of any highway in the state or purposely left there for shade or orna­ ment. It would seem that there is need of more discrimination between noxious weeds and brush and shrubs and trees, as this law is being violated in every township In this county. Lovers of trees and shrubs are organizing to prevent the wholesale destruction of these ornaments to our roads. As a leader in this movement to preserve shrubs and trees this club has decided to petition officers who have this work in charge to be more careful. QUEER THINGS.

The law will not be published in due official course for several months, but since it is already In effect and is of such great public importance, a sum­ mary of its provisions will be of interest. It makes the commissioner of insurance state fire marshal , and the deputy commissioner of insurance deputy state fire marshal, the mar­ shal to appoint an assistant who shall be in special charge of the details of the work. The marshal may also ap­ point as state inspector any persons known to him to be competent and skilled in the inspection of buildings and their contents, who shall be jlply commissioned and serye without com­ pensation. This will enable the mar­ shal to enlist in his service the in­ spectors and field men ofr the insur­ ance companies, the results of their inspection to be reported to the fire marshal for action. The chief of the fire department, in every city or village maintaining a department, and the president of each incorporated village or town in which no department exists, mpst report, within two days not including Sun­ day, to the state fire marshal, every fire which destroys or damages prop­ erty. All insurance companies doing business in the state are also required to report to the fire marshal all losses reported to them. The fire marshal has the right to conduct investigations under oath, and to cause the arrest of persons regarded as guilty of starting fires, and he, with hls deputies and assistants, has the power in any county to summon and compel the at­ tendance of witnesses in such inquiries, and to enter upon and examine any premises in which fires have occurred. In addition to these provisions, making possible the investigation of crooked fires, which in other states have greatly reduced the number of such fires, the law has important features intended to prevent fires. The officials .of the department and chiefs of fire - departments, the mayors of cities or villages, the clerks of townships are given the right, at all reasonable hours, to enter buildings and premises within their jurisdiction, for the purpose of examination. Whenever they find any buildings especially Hable to fire, for want of proper repair, age. or any Cause, and so situated as to endanger other buildings or property, tbey can re­ quire the condition to be remedied. The fire marshal is also authorized to make regulations for the storage, sale and transportation of highly inflam­ mable materials and explosives. Failure to comply with the orders of the authorities subjects the offender to a penalty of not less that 810 or more than 850 for each day’s neglect, but In municipalities having building inspection and fire limit ordinances the law does not affect sueb local regulations, . the jurisdiction of the fire marshal in such cases being con­ current with that of the municipal authorities. The department must require teachers of public and pri­ vate schools and educational Institu­ tions to have one fire drill each month and to keep all doors and exits unlocked during school hours. Such laws in other states have been most successful in reducing the numher of fires and protecting the lives and property of citizens. The Are waste in the LTnited States last year was 8234,470,650, and present indica­ tions are that this amount will be greatly exceeded in 1911. Most of these fires are preventable, and are due to carelessness or criminality, and the Michigan fire marshal lavwill make possible a reduction of the state's proportion of this fire waste.

Furniss Beautiful from a spectacular point of view, but doing a vast amount of damage, a thrilling electrical and wind storm raised havoc in Michigan Sunday night. Nearly ail parts of the state -were visited by the storm, and while Nash­ ville and vididity did not get the worst of it, we got enough.' Many of our correspondents tell in their items of damage wrought in their vicinity. Nashville was visited by both light­ ning and wind. Francis street, in the south part of the village, seemed to be the central path of the storm, commencing at the residence of Mrs. Delia Frink and do­ ing more or less damage the entire length of the street west as far as Main street. Several fine fruit trees were blown over and destroyed for Ed. Keyes. Isa Newton is also minus a fine shade tree which stood just in front of his house. About everyone living on the street either had shade trees, fruit trees or grape arbors blown down. During the early part of the storm the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Richard Cazier, west of Mar­ shall’s elevator, was struck by lightnlng*but luckily no one was hurt or no tire started. It appears that the lightning struck the chimney, passing to the roof where the charge aividetf, part going down the roof tearing a path through the shingles and roof boards about a foot and a half wide the entire width of the roof. The bal­ ance of the charge followed the steel ridge to the east end of the house, where it tore things up in general and made kindling wood of the.wholeend as far down as the second floor. From here the charge seemed to again di­ vide..tearing off the plaster in several of the rooms, and tearing to pieces the partition that separates the dining room from the parlor. Mr. Cazier was sitting on one side of the parti­ tion in the parlor, while Mrs. Cazier <as sitting on the other side in the dining room when the bouse was struck. Both were dazed for a few minutes by the shock, and when they recovered, found that their lighted lamp had been blown out and that they were in the dark. The house had just been reshingled and papered but a few days before, and is owned by Mrs. Sarah’Larkin. Wenger Bros, lost a dozen or more fine trees in their woods west of town. Asher Osborne had a horse killed at Stony Point. Orson McIntyre in Ma­ ple Grove had two horses struck, but only one of them killed. Will-Fisher's barn was struck and somewhat dam­ aged, but not set on fire. Several barns between Kalamo and Bellevue were unroofed and Ed Bowen’s com­ pletely demolished. At Kelly, east of Vermontville, several barns were torn down, and in all directions trees were torn from orchards and forests. Many phones were put out of'commission and the trouble men have been good and busy al! the week. .wheh the room suddenly burst into» flames and the boy bolted through the' door, lucky to etcape without injury,; and gave the alarm. The rear of the building was a mass of roaring flames। in an instant and the fire had a run­ ning start before the alarm was given, but the boys soon bad three streams of water on it and a few moments suf­ ficed to stop the.progress of the fire. The building is pretty nearly a total wreck, but is quite a shack at that tor the six or ten fires It hfcs suffered in the past. The building was insured in the Continental. Hoisington’s loss is about $300 with no insurance. Mrs. Kate Knickerbocker, who oc­ cupied the second floor for living apartments, loses practically all of her household goods, with no insur­ ance, and the loss is really more seri­ ous to her than to any of the others. This building should now be ordered town down. It has been a source of danger and a menace to other prop­ erty in the vicinity for some time, and should be replaced by a safer struct­ ure, particularly If it is to be used as a laundry. ______ NUMBER .42 LOCAL NEWS.

The union services which were to have occurred at the opera house last Sunday evening, at which time Roy Wolfe was to have giveha stereopticon lecture, was called off on account of the storm. It will be given at some time in the future. George Long’s folks better not let him go spearing again until he learns how to stay in a boat. He tried for earn Tuesday in a little ditch down on the Hats, fell- over backward and got an awful ducking. Not only that, but the carp all got away. Lester Webb, the Morgan rural car­ rier, is in Chicago, where he expects to undergo an operation for an affec-tion of one of bis legs, which has troubled him severely for several yearrf. His many friends hope he may return fully restored to health. Bruce Allen of Belding lost the tips of three fingers while working in one of the factories, making it necessary for him to take a vacation. He im­ proved the time by taking Miss Irma Hough to Ionia with him, where they were married. Bruce ought to have cut his fingers years ago. Ivy lodge, K. of P., will observe memorial day next Sunday. Allmem­ bers are requested to bring flowers to the lodge hall before ten o'clock Sun­ day morning, and they will be taken to the cemetery by the committee and placed on the graves of our departed brothers. R. C. Townsend, C. C. Mr. and Mrs. Ed. Kleinhans of Buffalo, Mrs. Jacob Kleinhans and Mrs. Mary Shepard of Grand Rapids, were guests al the home. of W: H. Kleinhans Wednesday of last week, driving through from Grand Rapids in Mr.' Kleinhans’ auto, a PierceArrow, in which Mr. and Mrs. Klein­ hans drove through from Buffalo. Another fire signal was turned in last night about 6:30 o'clock, but it proved to be a false alarm. Smoke was seen pouring out of the windows of Dr. Baker's office on North Main street, but examination proved that the doctor had left a fire in the fur­ nace and the smdke was coming out of the door instead of ascending the chimney. The class in cutting and sewing will be opened immediately after the close of school. In order to give the best advantages the committee will be com­ pelled tq limit the number, so any wishing to join will please notify Mrs. O. G. Munroe or Mrs. Rentschler at once. The small cost for the lesson would be covered by the making of one garment, and the experience is for a life-time. Next Sunday morning, at 10 o’clock, Children’s day services will be held at the M. E. church, which will take the place of the preaching service. One feature eg the exerciseswill be the pre­ sentation of children by their parents for Christian baptism. It. is custo­ mary at Children's day services to take an offering for the purpose of assisting worthy young men and ladies to obtain a college education. Bernard Schulze passed away Thurs­ day morning of last week at three o’clock, at the home of his son Otto, in the west part of the village, having failed to return to consciousness after his attack of apoplexy, as mentioned in The News last week. The funeral was held from the Evangelical church Sunday afternoon, conducted by Rev. C.C. dibson, and the remains were interred in Lakeview cemetery. LeRoy Perkins, son of H. H. Per­ kins of this village, who will be grad­ uated from the University of Mich­ igan this year, has accepted a posi­ tion in the high school at Jackson at a salary of $1,000 for the first year, which is certainly a tribute to his ability. Mr. Perkins is the sort of young man who will make good, as he has worked hard and improved every hour of his time on his way through school. Six students of the eighth grade of the Hastings schools were picked out to lane the county eighth grade ex­ amination and five of them passed, which makes the Banner very chesty. All the members of the eighth grade of tbd Nashville schools were com­ pelled to take the examination and every one of them passed, which was taken as a matter of course by Nash­ ville people and don’t make us feel much bigger than we did before. Two of them also ranked in the first five in the county for highest standing. Daring the month of May the Nash­ ville postofflee handled of office mall, besides th*t handled by the rural carriers, the total of 59,522 pieces, and the time -consumed in handling was computed at 26.243 minutes. The rural earners handled a total of 22,633 pieces of mail. These figures are com­ piled from the record kept during the month on a special order from the de­ partment. Handling. jTractically sixty thousand pieces of mail per month, an average of 2,000 pieces per day, in­ cluding Sundays and holidays, is pretty good business fur a town the size of Nashville, especially when it is taken into consideration that there is no mall order establishment in the town. �=1 &.

In an opinion given out recently At­ torney General Kuhn explains how the new mortgage tax law affects exist­ ing mortgages. Mortgages on file August 2, the date the new Jaw- goes into effect, may be presented to coun­ ty treasurers in the counties where the property covered is located and the tax of one-half one per cent, pfiid, which- will give the mortgage the same force as new mortgages filed after January 1. when a filing tax of 50 cents per 8100 is required. Vaccination may have some friends at Eaton Rapids, but they are not saying much about it just now. Dur­ ing the smallpox scare last winter, Seth Tubbs, of the firm of Tubbs A Minnie, was vaccinated. At that time he weighed 175 pounds and was in per­ fect health. Now he is a nervous wreck and an examination by local physicians as well as by U. of M. doctors show chat his lungs are affect­ ed and that he is infected with tuber­ culosis. The physician who vaccinat­ ed Mr. Tubbs says now that the vac­ cine point was infected with that disease. So completely have house flies been exterminated in England that it is said screens are no longer used In windows and doors. This shows what can be done. A solution of formalin or formadehyde in water is the best and cheapest exterminator. Put a tea­ spoonful of formalin in half a teacup­ your room. Try it once and .you will see. i Burn pyrin rum powder in a room and sweep out the stupefied flies. Or Eut twenty drops of carbolic acid on a ot shovel. The vapor is deadly to the pest. Put a dram of bichromate of potash in half a glass of water and sweeten. Expose a little of the solu­ tion in saucers. ’ Sticky fly paper also does tiie work. BARNUM G1RCUS AT GRAND RAPIDS.

On June 23, at noon, the third unit of the Shoshone project in Wyoming will be opened to settlers. .This unit, which is adjacent to the town of Rals­ ton, contains some of the choicest land on the project. The successful entryraen will secure farms in a country which is already occupied by prosperous farmers with the advantages of good roads, rail­ roads, telaphones, rural delivery, schools, and churches. No real pieneering is required to Establish a home here. Water is now ready for the land. The Shoshone project lies in a region of great scenic beauty with a delightful and healthful climate and a fertile soil. The Reclamation Service at Washington has prepared a book­ let fully describing this section and giving detailed Information as to methods of acquiring these farms.

WOULD-BE ASSASSIN CAUGHT Washington, June 6.—Public hear­ ing* on th* Canadian reciprocity bill ware concluded by the senate finance committee, representative* of th* American Newspaper Publishers' a**ociatlon being the last to appear before the committee. Herman Ridder, until recently presi­ dent of the American Newspaper Pub­ lishers' association, being called to the witness chair, had not proceeded far when Senator ~ McCunber of North Dakota startled the committee by challenging one of the statements u' an "absolute falsehood." Senator MoCumber's action brought a quick pro­ test from Senators Stone and Bailey, who declared that witnesses should not be Insulted. Mr. Ridder bad-made tbe statement that the newspaper* of the country and the Publishers’ association bad not attempted to suppress facts or to color stories sent from Washington on the subject of reciprocity. Senator McCumber later agreed to have his remark changed so as to make It read that he believed what Mr. Ridder said was "unfounded.” Mr. Ridder declared that while ho wa* In favor of reciprocity as a whole, his reason, as a newspaper man, for urging tbe passage of the agreement was so that he might get out ot the clutches of the "paper trust,” which, he said, was robbing tbe newspaper publishers of the country.

BIRTHDAY PARTY. One of the pleasant events of the season was the reception held __ home ------of-------Mrs.__ Cy J. --------Norris---of Maple Grove, Friday afternoon, June 2. in -- cher »80th . .... . Mrs. honor of birthday. ____ Norris is very active for one of her age and takes an interest in the cares of her home. Although her sight and hearing is defectivarshe enjoys her friends as in younger days. She greeted friends to the number of 82 from Hastings.. Nash­ ville, Bellevue, Assyria, Vermont­ ville and her immediate neighborhood, many sending regrets that they could not be present. She received many beautiful flowers. 119 cards, some let­ ters and other tokens of remembrance from friends far away, all of which she appreciates very much, and re­ joices in the fellowship of so many friends. The company spent a short time visiting with tbe old lady, -and as she bade them goodby, she asked them to oome again on that day 20 years hence on her 100th birthday. An interesting event of the day was the using of the paddle, that stirred her wedding cake over sixty years ago. in making lemonade. Light re­ freshments were served by the Misses Hoffman and Wilkinson, and much credit is due the young ladies. CARD OF THANKS. We desire to sincerely thank ali ‘relatives and friends who called or assisted in any way with flowers — or cards to make tbe reception for our mother on her eightieth birthday a success. We especially thank "the Hill boys for toe, and James Howard, Mr. and Mrs. Fassett, A. Mckeozie and family and the Misses Gertrude Hoffman, and Laura Wilkinson for their work.

The Hagenbeck-Wallacc Shows Are Fighting the Circus Trust. ‘ Many of our readers will regret that such a combination of famous shows as the Hagenbeck trained wild animal exhibition and the great Wallace shows cannot be brought to this place, and yet they will be pleased to learn that it is toexhibit at Hastings June 10 Some people may have lost tbe habit of going to a neighboring city to see a circus for the reason that they think all shows are all alike. This will, not apply to the Hagenbeck - Wallace shows. When operated under differ­ ent proprietorship each of these shows was in a class distinct from any of the other tented shows. Now that they are combined and the public can see "both the famous and sensational perform­ ances of the wild beasts of the Carl Hagenbeck shows and the exclusive features of the three ring exhibition of the Wallace show for one price of admission, it is expected that an un­ usually large number of this commun-. ity will attend the exhibition at Hast­ ings June 10. siderwd by all who may have money invested in Building A Loan Associa­ tions as an investment, and especially those who may have been or might be induced to put their money into suoh associations because they offered higher rates of interest than banks. The Michigan Savings A Loan As­ sociation was organized in 1889, with a capital of 825,000,000. It was sup­ posed to be organized for the purpose of aiding in the building of homes by means of loans on real estate. It soon entered upon a general loan business, and did other things in that line with a view of making big earnings, so that it could induce people to invest money in its stock On tbe promise of better rates of interest than banks or high class bonds would pay, and be exempt from taxation also. The Sremises made by this association rew large investments from all over Michigan, and from other states also. In 1901, on petition of an Indiana stockholder, Ralph L. Aldrich was made receiver for the Michigan Sav­ ings & Loan Association. Discovery of alleged improper accounting was made by the receiver in 1903. How the stockholders fared is shown by the order of Judge Swan, which required the owners of slock in the company, who had received interest thereon, to return their interest money, every cent of it. to Receiver Aldrich. Thus the stockholders - lost all their dividends together with a large slice of their investment of principal, be­ cause they were tempted to put their money in the Michigan Savings A Loan Association by its promise of considerable larger interest returns than banks or high class bonds would pay. After a battle that lasted over ten years, this decree Is the end of the greatest bankruptcy case ever fought in Michigan.—Hastings«Banner. NOTICE.

Watch this paper for announcements of special features and attractions. The Methodist church was packed last Sunday night to listen to the baccalaureate sermon delivered to the 1911 class of the Nashville high school, by Rev. Walter S. Reed. The sermon was highly enjoyed by all who were present, as was the music, which was furnished by a chorus comprising most of the mem­ bers of the Treble Clef club of the school, assisted by Miss Nina Tit­ marsh. Mr. Reed’s address had for its theme the importance of character and the chief essentials of character building. Mrs. Orren Mather is another vic­ tim of ptomaine poisoning. Monday noon Mr. Mather took some pressed beef home for dinner, which they ate. Soon after dinner Mrs. Mather be­ came suddenly ill, as she was working in the garden, and called for Mr. Mather to help her in the house; he immediately summoned a physician. When the doctor arrived it was found that Mrs. Mather’s pulse had nearly stopped beating, ana it was with great presence of mind on the physician’s part that her life was saved. At the latest report Mrs. Mather is getting along as well as can be expected. Colored followers of the Hagen back and Wallace show got into a row among themselves at Charlotte Fri­ day night, and one of them was so severely slashed with a knife that it was thought he could not recover. His assailants got away with the circus train, and on the wav to Hastings, fearing that one of their number would ‘‘peach” on them they tried to drop him between the cars. Failing in this, they pitched him bodily off the train near Chester. He was badly banged up, but managed to walk back to Charlotte and told the sheriff, who went to Hastings the next day and arrested two negros. Another was pinched at Kalamazoo Monday and is held to await the outcome of the victim’s injuries. “It's an ill wind that blows no one good.” This saying proved to be true in the case of Mrs. Merrick Hall and her apple tree during the storm last Sunday night. Mrs. Hall, who lives on the Island road, had a very fine apple tree in her yard of which she was justly proud, and as the family stood by the window Sunday evening watching the storm they were grieved to see the tree blown down, and the little boy exclaimed: “OL, mamma, our nice tree is gone!” A little later when the storm had abated, Mr*. Hall was out looking things over and much to her surprise found the tree standing in its original position. The wind that had maliciously blown the tree down evidently relented and straightened it up again.—Charlotte Republican. �aMMMKM s Patterns LOCAL NEW*. Pbo&e 180 for prices on produce.

Revolt In Yucatan. Telegrams from Yucatan report the condition of affairs there as being worse than in northern Mexico. The Indians are banded together under the command of renegade members of the National guard which revolted last Friday. They have captured ranches and small towns, putting all Spaniards to death and driving other foreigners out of the country. . Vlljeon Stirs Up Leaders. Juarea, Mex., June 12.—That the United States is becoming tired of the shooting and other acts of anarchists on the California-Mexico border and steps must be taken at once to stop it is the burden of messages sent to the Mexican war department by Gen. Ben­ jamin Vlljeon. military adviser to Francisco 1. Madero. Genoral Vlljeon expressed the fear tbe Washington government may with­ draw its offer to allow Mexican troops to travel through tbe United States to Lower California unless the privilege Is'promptly taken advantage of. The former Boer general bases bls advice to Mexico City on many com­ plaints of residents of California, who threaten to take measures, of their own. 'Conditions Alarming In Chihuahua. Passengers arriving from Chihuahua say the condition in that city Is be­ coming unbearable. Five thousand federal troops with 13 generals.

The first bones on either side of the cen­ ter front steel, instead of being parallel, approach each other as they near the bottom. The un­ boned skirt extension which reaches its extreme length at the hip, has unique garter arrange­ ment Just below the waist line on both sides there is a re-inforement “V”.

Theae are exciting days for him, remember. He'll be in tomorrow sure." ’ With a faint hope of this tbe girl rose and went about her dally tasks, but the day passed and another w^hout word or sign of the recreant lover, and each day brought a deeper sense of loss, but her pride would not per­ mit her to show her grief. Young Gregg, without knowing In tbe least the cause of her troubled face, took tills occasion to offer comfort. His manner toward her bad changed since ahe no longer had a part in the management of the eating house, and for that reason she did not repulse him as sharply as she bad been wont to do. He really bore Cavanagh no ill will and was, Indeed, shrewd enough to understand that Lee admired tbe ranger and that bls own courtship was rather hopeless. Nevertheless he per­ sisted, his respect for her growing ax he found her steadfast in her refusal to permit any familiarity. “See here, Miss Virginia,'’ be cried as she was passing him in the ball, "I can see you’re worrit'd about Llze—1 mean your mother—and if I can be of any use I hope you’ll call on me."

BILLY’S PROPOSAL (Copyright, IKS by AuocliUd Literary There was no good reason, except­ ing his own overpowering bashful­ ness, why Billy De Voe should not marry Nellie Melrose. Billy loved her devotedly, while the girl, the belle of Hornvllle and with numerous ad­ mirers, had unmistakably shown her preference for the quiet Billy. Billy's income was sufficient for two. He was bookkeeper in the Hornville Department store, and besides, had recently token to writing short stories which sold well and which caused the Alton County Courier to refer to him as "our rising young au­ thor.” The young man's bashfulness amounted almost to a fear of every­ thing feminine, excepting Miss Mel­ rose, whom he had known and loved all bls life. And this idiosyncrasy pre­ vented his asking her to be his wife. For a year he had been trying to get out the momentous question. Each time he started for his tri weekly visit to the girl’s home, Billy would prom­ ise himself, "It will surely be to­ night” Then he would, in imagina­ tion, build a conversation which led, as a pathway, right up to the storm ing of the citadel. With commendable persistence he , followed the conversation previously planned to the last redoubt, to the point where the final desperate charge was needed. Then, when generalities began to give way to personalities and constraining little pauses, the bat­ talion of Billy’s courage broke and fled to the safe and dreary fields or the commonplace cgaln—tbe weather or the next church social. Billy, berating himself soundly, as he went home one night after another IngloAous failure, realized that mat­ ters could not go on as they were for­ ever. Dick Parsons, for Instance, had begun to appear In the Melroses’ par­ lor altogether too frequently, and Dick’s personal attractions, he humbly admitted, far outweighed bis own. Must he sit Idly by and see another charge straight on to victory? Never; something had to be done. Aroused by this fancied danger of losing Nellie, Billy's brain worked feverishly. All sorts of schemes for outwitting his bashfulness until he could propose were tried and rejectee, until a great idea burst on his brain with the suddenness of a comet Its brilliancy and daring were appalling. In the full glow of his new-found en­ thusiasm he set to work that very nigbL fearing that time would dim its brightness and lead again to fail­ ure. Miss Melrose thought It nothing out of the ordinary when, a few evenings later, Billy diffidently drew a neat, type-written manuscript from his pocket He had frequently requested her to pass judgment on his stories, and relied greatly upon her opinion. THAT BOY’S —CLOTHES— hat ynu think about A young woman is. quick to feel agi­ tation In tbe man who loves her. no matter what her own feelings toward him may be. The girl knew that some­ thing out 'of the ordinary was astir, and she took the’manuscript with in­ terest. "All Fight. Billy,” she replied, smiling, “we'll see what’s the best thing to do for IL But you know the best stories, tbe ones people remem­ ber longest, often end- unhappily.” * Billy did not seem particularly pleased at this bit of opinion, for he nodded glumly and fidgeted nervously in his chair. Miss Melrose noon discovered the reason for Billy's agitation. Before she had read a dozen lines the girt realized that, although the names were changed, it was her own story and bis that Billy had put on paper. The tale was written with the power of the true artist. It began with their childhood, when Billy carried her books to school or hauled her proudly on bls sled. It recalled the day when Bud Howard, the school bull#, had stolen Billy’s lunch, and how, after Billy had thrashed him, Nellie had shared her own two apples and four slices of bread and butter with the victor -age was turned. Nell'e had forgotten Billy, forgotten herself, forgotten everything but the fortunes of this. quaint little pair, these living, breathing children of the past which seemed so long ago. She smiled again over the description of their merry games, but her throat ached and her eyes smarted with the sorrow of their first and only quarrel, so genuinely was It portrayed. The narrative swept on to the out­ break of the Spanish war, Billy's en­ listment. his return to Montauk Point irorn Cuba, fever-stricken and weak; ot Nellie's coming to the long, cotfilled hospital tent where he lay. The glrj and her mother had cut short a visit In New York to find him. She smelled the horrid medicine again and heard the raving of'the delirium as she read. Her eyes filled when she saw how he treasured tbe memory of her kiss that day. the only kiss poor bashful Billy had ever claimed. The story toox up the soldier's ulti­ mate recovery and return to hte home town to find that his childhood sweet­ heart was now considered grown up- school. It told of her four-years' ab­ sence, with brief visits to her home, when both the boy and girl were In a state of transition. Although the old comradeship was there still, surface changes, the girl's new surroundings and acquaintances, had made them al­ most strangers. The story went to tell how Billy, ever hampered by his bashfulness, set out to win again the girl who had given him bar frank young affections. Billy poured out his hopes and his fears. He narrated how in the read­ justment after the four years of their practical separation she bad seemed more distant and unattainable than ever. Still, it was not so bad until tbe rival had come who seemed des­ tined to be the victor, all because the old lover was tongue-tied by a morbid self-consciousness. On the next tew paragraphs Billy had expended many anxious hours. With mingled hope and fears he had watched the girl’s expressive face— its smiles and tear*—as she turned page after page of the manuscript. And now the climax was a proposal, the sort of proposal he bad long dreamed of making, but had not dared. Billy was proud of that paper pro­ posal; It was idyllic and tender, elo­ quent and impetuous. It pleaded for Billy as he could not plead for him­ self; It fairly breathed >pf love and longing. And with tbe last sentence ot that wonderful proposal, "Sweet­ heart, will you marry me, that I may wear your love always, like a rose upon my heart?” the manuscript ab­ ruptly ended. Nellie drew n long breath at the end. “Why, Billy,” she said, enthus­ iastically, “that’s the best thing you ever did.” Was there a twinkle in her eye as she went on? "I seem to have read, or heard, a story like this before, but it was different, too. The bero'ne In that story wasn't the per­ fect creature of this. And I don’t >hlnk you've done your hero justice.” Billy opened his mouth twice before he could speak, and bn heart pounded as he asked, huskily: “But—but her answer? Do you think the story should end unhappily?" The girl cast down her eyes de­ mure, while a blush stole over her cheeks. “I think it too beautiful a story," she faltered, "to—to end un­ happily."

FOUR BOYS AND SEVEN OIRLS Receive Highest Honors of Nashville Public Schools. the Once more has a senior class of the Nashville schools reached the zenith of Us high school career, a primary turning point in life. Eleven stu­ dents, four boys and seven girls, have received the highest honor to be Ixjstowed by the local schools. A majority,of them will now be turned out Into the world to face life's battles in realism, and a glimpse back to their old school days will seem like a myth, a pleasant dream. But let us hope that our educational system has accomplished its chief aim, to prepare them to shoulder coming responsioilf ities in a manner praiseworthy to themselves and complimentary to their teaching. Class Day exercises were held at the opera h^use Wednesday evening of last week. The hall was decorated with the school colots,, yellow .and blue, and the class motto, “Ich Kann," in green and white, the class colors, hung suspended from the drop curtain. The people of Nashville and vicinity turned out in large numbers and the hall was filled to overflowing. The program was opened by a selec­ tion by Walrath’s orchestra, followed! gave a declamation on the subject, “Ich Dien,’’ meaning “J Serve.” She showed the beauty, of notallowing personal interests to occupy all or one’s mind, but of working and striv­ ing for each other's benefit. Her paper showed careful preparation and evoked the approbation of the au­ dience. “Universal Brotherhood" . was the subject chosen by John Day, and his method of handling it speaks well for his future in his chosen field of labor, the ministry. He spoke chiefly on the merits of national brotherhood and commended the Hague tribunal, also the treaties recently negotiated be­ tween England, France, Germany and the United States, which will prac­ tically prevent any war between the mentioned countries. Miss Lillian Mead, as valedictor­ ian, expressed the thanks of-the class to the public, the school hoard and the faculty for the splendid training they had received during their four years of high school life. She thank­ ed the teachers especially for their Fiatience and |>erseverance shown durng trying moments, and her words of farewell and advice to her classmates showed deep feeling and interest. Superintendent C. W. Appleton then presented the sheepskins, first giving the successful members of the eighth grade their diplomas. He compli­ mented them on their splendid showing in the recent examination, and urged them not to let this end their school work, but to continue at least through high school, as they would then be better prepared to go on with the real work of life. While he was presenting the seniors with their diplomas, a joke was perpetrated on the class, a The Old Reliable Farmers & Merchants Bank THE BANK THAT CAN DO THINGS FOR YOU.

OBITUARY. John Henry Harshberger was born June 20, 1861, in Wyandotte county, Ohio, and died at his home on the south side Wednesday afternoon at 1:15 o'clock from Bright’s disease, aged forty-nine years, eleven months and twenty-four days. When nine­ teen years of age he moved to Balti­ more township, living there until 1885, when ba was united ,'in marriage to Miss Myrtle C. Norton. To this union one son was born. Two years later, in 1887. they moved to Ohio, where they lived for sixteen years, coming from there-to Nashville, resid­ ing here ever since. While living in Ohio be was a member of the Sons of Veterans for eight years. He was a member of the Maocabee lodge of this place. The funeral services were held Friday afternoon at 2 o'clock from the M. E. church, Rev. F. L. Niles conducting the services. Intennent was made in Lakeview cemetery. He leaves a wife, one ton, mother, two brothers and two sisters to mourn their loss. Those who attended the funeral from away were Mr. and Mrs. Elmer Harshberger and children, Mr. and Mrs. Hubble Sillson, Mr. and Mrs. Frank Sherman, Mr. and Mrs. James Sherman, Mrs. Stella Norton, Mr. and Mrs. Ed. Snyder and children of Hasting*, Mrs. Lizzie HoughtaHn of Howard City, Joel Norton and children of Grand Rapids, Chas.

We arrived at the lake at noon and ordered our dinner at the hotel, after which we went to find a suitable situa­ tion for our camp. After wandering along the margin we found a little knoll sheltered by a number of great oak trees, where we decided to place our tent. Then we returned to the hotel, remaining there and ordering our baggage to be sent to the place and cur tent to be pitched. We spent the evening at the hotel, waiting anxiously for the next day when wc could begin our plans and explor­ ations. ■ The next day we were up early and down to the shore to see the sunrise, which at first was only a slight illuminations growing gradually into bright colors, until the sun as it seemed, arose like a great fiery bail put of the lake making a sunrise whose beauty. cannot be realized by one who has npt seen it. Walking idly along and enjoying our first day at the Take, wc found some very curious shells and a sea weed that we had never seen, and when we arrived at the hotel these curious caused no little excitement. After dinner we put on our big straw hate and taking our ifoles, went out on the lake for our first ride, which was greatly enjoyed. We row­ ed down the lake about half a mile, anchored our boat, and then began to fish; we returned about three o’clock having caught nine pickerel which we fried for supper Being weary we retired early and soon fell asleep, but were awakened about midnight by dazzling flashes of lightning and the claps of thunder that followed shook the ground be­ neath us. The storm soon ceased and the morning dawned’bright and clear. After breakfast. Roger, my brother, and I went for a long stroll over the mountains taking our lunch with us as we intended to stay all day. We had just rounded the “High Banks” and reached the road beyond when we noticed two very prettily dressed girls coming toward us who were laughing and chatting gayly. One appeared to to be slightly older than the other and wore a pretty walking suit of light blue, and a large white hat trimmed unsparingly with blue ribbon. Her face was very pretty, being shad­ ed by a wreath of black hair done up in folds over her high forehead. The other was a girl of about sixteen years, with light hair and eyes. Her graceful figure wai clothed in a pink lawn dress which was partly hidden by a light wrap thrown over her shoulders. She wore a oink bonnet and carried in her hand a walking stick that she had picked up on the mountains. Thev proved to be very sociable companions, telling us of the pleasant times they had spent to­ gether, of their cottage which was only a half mile from our camp, of the mountainsand pleasant boat rides. They remained with us until the lengthening rays of the sun told us that we should start on our homeward journey. • We took the road which followed close by the lake, meeting many fisher­ men and resorters who were going borne. 1 could hardly wait until I learned to swim. The next day the girls came to our camp and we went to the lake to swim. Alice, the older of the two, corid swim very well and proceeded to instruct us. We used water wings which proved very helpful and were soon able to swim quite well, but not until* a week afterwards could we swim without their help. A week passed pleasantly and quick­ ly in fishing, rowing, visiting and strolling. Then one day I wrote an invitation to Leta, a classmate of mine, a tall fair girl with brown curly hair and beautiful large eye* full of expression, asking her to spend a part of her vacation with us. I received an answer saying she would accept and to my great enjoyment she was with us by Thursday. We spent the afternoon about the camp making plans for the next day. That evening our friends accompanied by their brother came to pay u* a visit and we invited them to join us iu an after­ noon pleasure trip to West Point, a neighboring village. After two weeks of pleasure and en­ joyment, Leta returned home and she was greatly missed, for she always had a smile for every one and things moved on very pleasantly when she was about the camp. Our .friends, too, soon departed apd I felt quite lonely. Another week’s stay and we made preparations to leave, starling in the afternoon and reaching Sangolla by six o’clock. School began the next week and I was forced to give up my good times and return to my routine of studies, never forgetting the pleasant days J spent with my friends at Reaumur.

It was all true. The forester was right. Ross was capable of any work they might demand of bl tn He was too skilled, too intelligent, too manly, to remain In the forest, heroic as Ils du­ ties seemed. Upon this discussion Liza, bobbling painfully, appeared. With a cry of surprise Lee rose to meet ber. "Mother, you must not do this!” She waved her away. .“I’m all tight,” she said, “barring the big mar­ bles in my sllppera.” Then she turned to Dalton. "Now, what’s it all about? Is it true that Rom Is down?” "No. So far as we know, he is well.” "Well, I’m going to find out 1 don't Intend to.set here and have him up there without a cook or a nurse.” At this moment a tall, fair young fellow, dressed in a ranger’s uniform, entered the room and made his way directly to the spot where Lee, her mother and Redfield were standing. "Mr. Supervisor. Cavanagh has sent me to tell you that he needs a doctor. He’s got a sick man up at the station, and he's afraid it's a case of small pox.” He turned to Lee. “He told me to tell you that he would bare written, only he was afraid to even send a letter out.” “What does be need?' asked Red­ field. "He needs medicine and food..a doc­ tor, and he ought to bare a nurse.” "That's my Job.” said Llze. “Nonsense!" said Redfield. “You're not fit to ride a mile. I won’t hear of your going." "You wait and see. I’m going, and you can’t stop me." “Who is the man with him?" asked the forester. “I don’t know—an old herder, be said. He said he could take care of him all right for the present, but that if he were taken down himself”— Lee's mounting emotion broke from her in a little cry. “Oh. Mr. Redfield, please let me go too! I want to help! I must help!*’ Redfield said; “I'll telephone to Sul­ phur City and ask Brooks to get a nurse and come down as soon as pos­ sible.

He’s the one man In thia country I’d turn my hand over for—barring yourself, Reddy—and It’s my job to see him through this pinch.” In spite of all opposition she had her way. Returning to her room to get such clothing as she needed for her stay In the hi Ils, she waited for Redfield to send a carriage to ber. “1 can’t ride a horse no more,” she sor­ rowfully admitted. Lee’s secret was no secret to any one there. Her wide eyes and bearing breast testified to the profound stir In her heart.

Satur­ day evening a certain party was caught in the act’, but as there is no ordinance in the village against this, no warrant could be served. Most of the towns, village# and cities have ordinances of this kind and their is no reason why Nashville shouldn't have. It would put a stop to some of this “mixing wjth other people’s affairs.” A good dose of shot properly placed is none too good for such people. The members of the I. O. O. F. lodge to the number of fifty-eight, including four brothers from Vermontville, held their annual memorial services-at the ball Sunday afternoon, commencing at 2 o’clock. After going through the regular program they nprebed to the cemetery and decorated the graves of their deceased brothers. After deco­ rating the graves they marched back to the hall where they were treated to lemonade. The four visiting brothers from Vermontville and the Rebekahs were taken to Barker s and treated to ice cream. The following article was taken from the Michigan Vaster, and shows the State Savings bank as compared with other banks of the state, consid­ ering the size of the town. “That the State Savings Bank of Nashville is liecoming one of the strong banks in Michigan is evidelit from the gain it has made since its statement rendered to the banking commissioner on March 7, 1911. During this time the bank has forged ahead a little more than 424,000, or at the rate o’|8,000 per month. When it is. taken into consideration that the bank is located in a village with less than 1,500 populatlon this Is an excellent gain, and few banks with like surroundings have done belter.” ‘ THE SILVER SHOW.

A CHARMING WOMAN is one who is lovely in (ace. form mind and tember. But its hard for & woman to be charming without health. A weak sickly woman will be nervous and irritable. Constipation and kid­ ney poisons, show in pimples, blotches, skin eruptions and a wretched com­ plexion. But Electric Bitters always prove a godsend to women who want health, beauty and. friends. They regulate stomach, liver and kidneys, purify the blood: give strong nerves, bright eves, pure breath, smooth, velvety skin, lovely complexion and perfect health. Try them. 50c at Von W.

He's tired und hungry, aud I’m going- to feed him.” Ross re(piled, filled with a vivid bense of the diverse characters of the two men be was serving. Dunn received tbe food with an eager hand, and after be bad finished bls re­ freshment CaVanagb remarked: Tbe whole country should be obliged- to you for your visit to me. I shall send your Information to Supervisor Bed­ field." “Don’t use my name,” be begged. “They will -kill me if they find out that I have told. We were all sworn to secrecy, aud If 1 had not seen that fire, that pile of bodies”— “I know, 1 know! It horrified me. It made me doubt humanity,” respond­ ed Cavanagh. “We of tho north cry out against tbe south for Its lynchings, but here under our eyes goes on an equally horrible display of rage over the mere question of temporary ad­ vantage. over tbe appropriation of free grass, which is a federal resource —something which belongs, neither to one claimant nor to the other, but to tbe people, and should be of valae-to the people. You must bring these men to punishment.” Dunn could only shiver in bls horror and repeat his fear. They’ll kill me if I da" Cavanagh at last said: “You must not attempt to ride back tonight I can’t give you lodging In the cabin because my patient Is sick of small­ pox, but you can camp in tbe barn till morning, then ride straight back to my friend Redfield and tel! him what you’ve told me. He will see that you are protected. Make your deposition and leave tbe country if you are afraid to remain.” In the end tbe rancher promised to do this, but bls tone was that of a bro­ ken and distraught dotard. All tbe landmarks of his life seemed suddenly shifted. Meanwhile the sufferings of Wether­ Ford were increasing, and Cavanagh was forced to give up all hope of get­ ting him down the trail next morn­ ing, and when Swenson, tho forest guard from the South Fork, knocked at the door to say that be bad been to the valley and that the doctor waf coming up with Redfield and tbe dis trict forester Ross thanked him, bm ordered him to go Into camp across the river and to warn everybody to keep clear of the cabin. “Put your packages down outside tbe door.” be added, "and take charge of tbe situa­ tion on tbe outside. Pl! take care of the business inside.” Wetherford was in great pain, but the poison of the disease bad misted his brain, and he no longer worried over the possible disclosure of his iden­ tity. At times be lost the sense of bis surroundings and talked of bls prison life or of the long ride northward. Once he rose In his bed to beat off the wolves which be said were attack­ ing his pony. He waa a piteous figure as he strug­ gled thus, and it needed neither his relationship to Lee nor his bravery In caring for the Basque herder to fill the ranger's heart with a desire to re­ lieve his suffering. “Perhaps I should have sent for Llze at once.” he mused as tbe light brought out the red sig­ natures of .the plague. Once "the old man looked up with wide. dark, unseeing eyes and mur­ mured. “I don't seem to know you.” Tm a friend. My name is Cav*- “I can’t place you." ho sadly admit­ ted. “I feel pretty bad. If I ever get out of this place I’m going back to the Fork. I’ll get a gold mine; then Hi go back and make up for what Llze has gone through. I’m afraid to go back now.” “All right” Ross soothingly agreed. "But you’ll have to keep quiet till you nt over thia fever you’re suffering from." “If Llze weren’t so far away she’d eome and nurse me. I’m pretty sick.” Swenson came back to say that probably Redfield aud the doctor would reach the station by noon, and thereafter, for the reason that Cava­ nagh expected their coming, the hours dragged woefully. It was. after 1 o’clock before Swenson announced that two teams were coming with three men and two women in them. They’ll be here in half an hour.” Tbe ranger’s heart leaped. Two Virginia? What folly—what sweet, desperate folly! And the other—she could not b'» Lire, for Llze was too feeble to ride so far. "Stop them on tho other side of the bridge," bo com­ manded. "Don't let them crons tbe creek on any pretext" Aa be stood In the door tbe flutter of a handkerchief, the waving of a hand, made bis pulse glow aud his eyes grew dim. It was Virginia! Qlu Din uuuer a kerchief bctvwei or ui Llze did not flutter hand, but when Swenson atop- of lur dMd line and stay there.

It's mighty good of you and of Lee to come, but there isn't a thing you can do, and here’s the doctor,” he added as he recognized the young student who passed for a physician in the Fork. He was a beardless youth of small experience and no great cour­ age, and as be approached with hesi­ tant feet he asked: “Are you sure It’s smallpox?” Cavanagh smiled. “Tbe Indications are all that way.

And as be stood there looking toward the girl’s fnir figure on tbe bridge he came to the final, fixed determination never to speak one word or make ■ sign that might lead to the dying man’s identification. “Of what use Is It?” he asked himself. “Why should even Llze be made to suffer? Wether­ ford's poor misspent life Is already over for her, aud for Lee he is only a dim memory.” Hadfield came near enough to see that the ranger’s face, though tired, showed no sign of illness and was re­ lieved. “Who is this old herder?" be asked. "Hasn't be any relatives in tho country?' “He came from Texas, so be said. You’re not coming in?" he broke off to aay to the young physician, whom Llze bad shamed into returning to the cabin.

However,- if I could aid in extending the supervision of the public ranges and in stopping forever this murder, and burning that go on outside the forestry domain I might remain in the “Would you accept the supervisorI ship of tbe Washakie forest?" demand­ ed Dalton.

We have laid out tbe lines of division between the sheep and the cows, and it will take a man to enforce our regulations. You will have tbe support of the beat citizens. They will all rally, with you as leader, and so end the warfare there.” “It can never end till Uncle Sam puts rangers over every section of pub­ lic lands and lays out the grazing lines as we have done In this forest" re­ torted Cavanagh.' “I know, but to get that requires a revolution in the whole order of things." Then his fine young face lighted up. “But we’ll get it Public sentiment is coming our way. The old order is already so eaten away that only its shell remains/” punished I shall feel hopeful of the change.” "I shall recommend you for the supervlsorshlp of the Washakie forest,” concluded Dalton decisively.

One of them, it Is true, came of Swedish parentage, and the other was a native of Eng­ land, but they were both American to the high sense of being loyal to tbe federal will, and she trusted them more unquestioningly than any other men to all that west save only Red­ field. She had no doubt there were others equally loyal, equally to be trusted, but she did not know them. She rose to a complete understand­ ing of Cavanagh’s love for “the high country” and his enthusiasm for the cause, a cause which was able to bring together the student from Yale and the graduates of Bergen and of Oxford and make them comrades to preserving tbe trees and streams of the mountain- states against the en­ croachments of some of their own citi­ zens, who were openly, shortsightedly and cynically bent upon destruction, spoliation aud misuse. She bad listened to the talk of tbe forester und the supervisor, and she had learned from them that Cavanagh was sure of swift advancement now that he had shown his courage and his skill, and the thought that he might leave the state to take charge of another forest brought her some uneasiness, for she and Llze had plan­ ned to go to Sulphur City. Bhe bad consented to this because it still left to her the possibility of occasionally seeing or bearing from Cavanagh. But the thought that be might go away al­ together took some of the music out of the sound of the stream and made the future vaguely sad. For the next two days Cavanagh slept but little, for his patient grew steadily worse. As tbe flame of his fever mounted, Wetherford pleaded for air. The ranger threw open the doors, admitting freely the cool, sweet mountain wind. “He might as well die of a draft as smother,’’ was his thought, and by tbe use of cold cloths be tried to allay the Itching and the pain. With the coming of the third night Wetherford was unconscious and un­ recognizable to any one who had known him to the days of “the tree range.” He was going as tbe wild west was going, discredited, ulcerated, poi­ soned, incapable of rebirth, yet carry­ ing something fine to bis grave. He had acted the part of a brave man; that shall be said of him. He had gone to tbe rescue of the poor Basqu.

The ranger studied the small figure before him with penetrating gaze. There was deliberate fearlessness in the stranger's face and eyes, and. not­ withstanding bls calm, almost languid movement, restless energy could be detected to his voice. “What is your plan?’ the ranger asked. “Get ourselves deputized by the court and Jump these men before they realize that there's anj’thlng doing.

I joined her ak last, and without any polite preamble: “ ’Madame,* said I to her, 'I would like very much to hold your umbrella, because not only would I shield you from the wet, but I should have a lit­ tle corner myself. “At the same instant I found the handle of the umbrella in my grasp, but simultaneously the woman had disappeared. I looked around in ev­ ery direction, and saw nothing! If she had flown away I would at least have seen a flutter or a shadow. But she had left no trace either in earth or air! "When I reached Grenelle, in de­ fault of a cafe, I entered a wine-shop to warm myself while awaiting a car­ riage or omnibus. " ’I would like to know,’ said the fat lady seated at Che desk, ‘if anyone has met her to-day.’ "'Oh,’ said the old woman who wore a cap and who was knitting by the fire, ‘it is the 29th of February. You may be sure she has not missed har walk.’ " •WhoY asked L "Have you just come from the open country out there?’ '• 'Didn’t you see a woman, or rather a shadow pass by the quarry F " No.’ “At these words the umbrella that I had placed in the corner by the door was seized with a shiver and fell to the floor.

One day be wanted to get married to someone else, and fearing opposition from poor Berthe, he asked her to meet him at nightfall in the plain near the quarry. She has never an for audience, 1 would have shrugged my shoulders, but curiosity got the better of my skepticism. “‘Did you ever hear,* asked I, ’that tn bad weather the phantom of Ber­ the Salbrls sometimes lent its umbrel­ la to a soaked pedestrian?* .

It was wide open before the fire drying itself. “‘Marguerite.’ said I to the serv­ ant. ‘did someone coms,in during my absenceY “*No, monsieur.* " ‘Where did this umbrella come from?' "'I don’t know.’ "She looked perfectly bewildered. I seized the umbrella and cast it into tbe depths of a closet, which* I double locked. ‘The next morning when I came out I found the umbrella in the entry. It had placed Itself in the rack be­ tween two canes. “'It seems to be obstinate,’ mur­ mured I, ‘but it isn't going to have the last word,’ and as I reached for a cane the handle of the umbrella came into my grasp. I carried it with me with the intention of getting rid of it, even at the cost of a crime. When I got a little way from my do^r there came a sudden downpour of rain, and I thought to myself with a laugh: “ ‘Is it a barometer as well as an umbrella Y “I was going to my lawyer’s. I de­ posited the specter-umbrella in the entry, and the clerk showed tae into the chief’s office. After having dis­ cussed the business I had on hand I was making for tho door when the lawyer called me back and said: ’•‘You are forgetting your umbrel­ la. What possessed you.’ he added, ’to stand it in your hat?* “In fact, I perceived my hat on the carpet, and the umbrella was using it as a basin into whch it was dripping. That was too much. I went out with­ out a word and began to feel uneasy. What was I to do? Smash this ridic­ ulous persecutor, and throw Its pieces to the winds? But to begin with the thing did not belong to me, and who could say what vengeance it might have brought down on me, charged (as it evidently was), with a mis­ sion? What pould I do, humble detain­ er of an umbrella from tbe other world? “My nights became atrocious. If I succeeded in falling asleep for an instant the umbrella appeared to me with a bat’s head and flapping wings. To what ruses have I not had recourse in order to rid myself of the persecu­ tions of that accursed object! Once when a little beggar was holding out bls hand to me: "'Here.’ said I. ‘here is Jour cents, and besides I will make you a pres­ ent of this umbrella.* "Thank you, monsieur,* cried he. But the umbrella slipped from my fin­ gers. 'How heavy it is,’ cried the lit­ tle fellow, ’I could never carry It!* And as I hastened my steps I saw that the rubber catch had twisted itself around a button on the back of my coat, and that I was trailing the fatal thing Hke the tall of a kite. 'This misery lasted four years. I was counting on leap-year to put an end to it February 29! To-day was February 29! I went to the plain of Grenelle at four o’clock in the after­ noon. In the middle I thought I saw a shadow. I held out the umbrella. Baying: Thank yon, mademoiselle!* And the umbrella was gently drawn out of my hand and disappeared! My hands were empty, and you see me again happy and light-hearted." Some days afterward, on meeting the engineer. I asked him for news of the umbrella. "It has not reappeared,” he told me, "bat since I no longer possess it I miss it, I call to it, I search for it, I try to bring it back, and I am so bored without it!" “No-Sleep"' Habit Many people who have complained that worry prevented them from sleep­ ing have found that their chief worry waa the fear that they might not sleep.

Mr. Funk approached and shook bands. The witness continued: "He (Funk) said, 'I am very glad to hoar of Mr. Lorimer's election to the senate.* I said I was glad to hear him say so.

He assured Mr. Lori­ mer, then a congressman, that he had been requested by -Senator Aldrich to say that President Taft, Senator Pen­ rose and the rest of the national ad­ ministration were for Lorimer for sen­ ator, “and you must be elected.** In testifying, Mr. Hines admitted saying he might “come down on a train,” but made no mention of money.

Ito KH Ya Hm Ahnjs tagM Bears tbe Signature of fight the devil gets his due, and too often he has seized his opportunity to capture the whole community, bag and baggage. The case, where church differences are carried to extremes are fortunately comparatively rare. The worst part of the division Into denominations to found usually In tbe division of ebureb support A community that_,could sup­ port one thriving church divides Its en­ ergies among half a dozen. The only bass singer is a Presbyterian perhaps, and the soprano Is a Methodist and tbe rest of tbe choir are Baptists. As a result the singing In all tbe churches to a minus quantity, or nearly so. The only good Sunday school superintend­ ent belongs to one denomination and all the good teachers belong to anoth­ er. As a result all the Sunday schools lead a precarious existence. One of the worst effects Is seen in the social life of tbe community. The country church should be the center of rural social life. Where several weak churches have taken the place of one strong church tbls to impossible. A free mingling of all the people In the community on an equal basis to Interfered with. Another of tbe evils of denomlnationaltom is the division of financial support. When the money that might support one strong cbuKh to divided among two or three the results are disastrous. The first effect to seen In the quality of the preachers. Tbe salaries which tbe divided churches can afford to pay will attract only th. poorest class of preachers. Often two or three towns are joined together and one preacher provided for all. He must spend a large share of hto time traveling, and hto only Influence tn the community to that which he ex­ erts from the pulpit on Sunday. If Instead of giving one preacher three churches Id different towns be were given tbe three tn the same town, be would have more time to give to hie people. In essentials tbe different churches have the same belief. Rural people want the plain, simple religion of Jesus Christ They have no time to split ba Ira over fancied differences of creed. Few of them know the creed of the church to which they belong or whether It has a creed or not The Bible to creed enough for them. The increased financial support which tho consolidated church receives means ■ better building, better lights, more money for the Sunday school and, above all. a better preacher. This last to the moat difficult point Ideal preachers for rural churches are difficult to socure. Tbe theological schools do not recognize tbe country church as haring Deeds that differ from those of the city church. The pastor who Is sent to the country church Is usually a city born and city trained man with city Ideals. He has no understanding of rural life or rural problems and too often be has no de­ sire to learn. He looks upon tbe coun­ try church as a stepping stone to a pulpit In tho city. It to little wonder that a preacher with no sympathy with tbe problems of bls people cannot achieve with the education of the preacher, for be to the active force In the church.

PAINT TRIED AND TESTED OsceUAffT. 0 In buying paint many people make 243_ tbe mistake of simply considering toOK INTO'1* first, cost; they think only of the price per gallon, this results in the selection of low priced, short lived, adulterated paint The right way to buy paint is to consider not primarily what it costs per gallon. But the spreading power, ease of application and durability. B. P. S. paint as regards to spreading capacity is more economical than a so-called cheap paint. It will cover at least 25 per cent, more surface than any cheap paint you can get. When you get ready to paint, try B. P. S. paint and save money. C. L- GLASGOW.

On Friday tbe school children’s parade and nearly 5,000 were in line, each school with its different regalia, with flowers to match, and each gave dif­ ferent drills with children’s bands. It certainly was a beautiful sight and worthy of much praise. Last, but not least, was the electrical parade, which had to be seen to be appreciat­ ed, for pen can not describe the beauty and splendor of the electric floats, gorgeously trimmed in green and roses, and in all conceivable designs. The streets were so crowded that you could hardly see the buildings for the people, and Portland has some sky-scrapers, too. Portland is grow­ ing very rapidly. Many handsome blocks were erected last year, and many are being erected this year.

Palmyra, New York, July 2. Editor News:—Mrs. Lentz and my­ self are spending a few days here In the old town where I spent my boy­ hood days.. Palmyra is a town of 3500 population, an old town founded in 1796, and In April that year the first town, meeting was held.' Many of the first settler* came on foot all- the way from Albany. The early pioneer* had many a conflict with wild animal* and the Indians. For a time the I Indians were so feared that a block house was begun on the brow of Win-. tergreen hill, bft it was not finished, for the victories of mad Anthony Wayne set the pioneer* at rest. Palmyra was named after the old ancient city. It ba* produced some great men, among whom are Admiral Sampson. We visited bis old home yesterday where he wa* born. There Is a s|x inch long range rifle mounted in a prominent position on Main street a* a trophy of the victory over the Spanish at Santiago. The gun look* very imposing and is a constant reminder of the dauntless courage and greatness of the man who captured the gun and sent it to hi* old home. There i* another thing that Palmyra 1* noted for, and that is Mormon hill, where Joseph Smith found the golden fdates. This hill I* a mecca for the ollowers of Joseph Smith to this day, and their faith in him still remain* un­ shaken. I was told yesterday that the dirt that was thrown out of the cave on this bill, where the plate* were found, doe* not produce any vegeta­ tion of any kind, and even weeds re­ fuse to grow on IL Much could be written about this cult that had it* origin here, and were compelled to leave here a* they got no sympathy nor support from the people here. A’e attended a band concert last eve­ ning at tbe Union park. There are over eighteen hundred chair* in this park, and every chair was taken, and there were hundreds standing, who could not get in. Tbe utmost order prevails when the^band is playing. No one is-allowed to talk while the band is playing, and just before they render a piece the gates are closed and no one is allowed to enter or walk about until tbe piece is finished, when the gate* are thrown open and the chairs are filled up in this way. I ex­ pected to find a good many people here that I once knew, but with about five or six exceptions they have joined tbe silent army. There is a company here that is excavating for a new canal from Albany to Buffalo .for steam navigation. Tbe old Erie horse drawn load canal is to be given up and discontinued. A good many chaoses have taken place in the forty year* that I have been away. The old house where I lived still stands, but from present indications is badly in need of repairs. I visited Newark yesterday, my birth place, and had never been there since I was two years old. We will spend about three day* in Lock Berlin, three day* in Lyons, and visit Rochester and Niagara Fall* as we return home. Albert Lentz. Happiest Girl in Lincoln.

Where there are no limitations of this sort bis taste, if it be perfect, will lead him to chooee the diamond solitaire, and of the best he can af­ ford, a small and pure blue-white stone being altogether preferable to a large stone. Some prefer a ring set with three stones—generally a sapphire set between two diamonds. Others select a ruby or an emerald, which signifies promise of happiness. Few persons choose pearls for an engagement ring, as pearls are sup* posed to typify tears.

Tbe Higgins family was gathered about the supper table, and Mr. Hig­ gins was engaged in serving the cold bam on the pile of waiting plates. He interrupted that process long enough to address one -of his young sons. “Edward.” he said, "didn’t 1 hear you say that Jimmy Fanning was so disagreeable and quarrelsome that you were not going to play with him any more?" "Yea, father."’ "And didn't you say that all the boys at your school said the same thing?' "Yes, father." "How did It happen, then, that when I came home tonight I saw you and Billy and John Heald and a lot more youngsters over In the Fan­ nings’ yard?" "Well, you see, father, we were all over to the Bacons', and Mr. Fanning came over and said he knew we didn't like to play with Jimmy, but he would give us ten cents apiece If we would go over there this afternoon and play. He says he’ll give any of us a dime any time we'll come over and spend tho afternoon with Jimmy." Mr. Higgins looked incredulous till his son dug into his pocket and pro­ duced a bright, new ten-cent piece as corroborative evidence. Then he looked at bls wife and smiled. "It’s a good thing Jimmy's father is well-to^db,” he said. "Did you have a pleasant afternoon, Edward ?’ "Well, we earned the money, all right," said Edward.—Youth's Com­ panion.

Their presence was accounted for toward the close of the session, when through Mrs. Henry Roe they presented their request to the district that a start be made toward domestic science in the schools, their idea be­ ing that sewing should be taken up in the lower grades, this year, with a view to gradually extending the other branches as opportunity presented. The matter was put up to the school board by a vote which was practically unanimous, asking them to Investigate and see what might be accomplished without hiring extra teachers at the present time. The minutes of the last annual meet­ ing were read and approved. Secretary Roscoe then presented his annual financial report, which is given herewith: ■ RECEIPTS.

The various committees of the Home-Coming Week and Harvest Festival association met at the club room Monday evening, after the school meeting, and got busy with arrangements for the big week. The soliciting committee reported funds subscribed to tne amount of <335,-with considerable more in .sight. There is nearly <50 left in the treasury from last year, and it is estimated that with privilege money and all die fund will be close to <500. • The advertising committee was in­ structed to ket busy, and the attrac­ tion committee advised to get an Immediate bustle on to secure better attractions, if possible, than ever be­ fore. They have their work cut out for them if they Improve any on the attractions presented at previous festivals. The music will be furnished by the Nashville band, and the committee will also secure a. martial band if possible. The sports committee is arranging a program of sports of various kinds and will endeavor to introduce some new fun-makers. No formal invitations will be issued to the Home-Coming week; but it is hoped and expected that all former residents of Nashville and vicinity who can possibly arrange to do so will try to arrange to be here during the week. If you have friends whom you would like to have visit you this summer, write and ask them to come at this time, for their slay will be much more easily be made pleasant at this time, when they will be able to see so many more of their old friends than they ordinarily would. This will probably be the last Har­ vest Festival for some Ifme, for there is a general feeling among the mer­ chants and citizens generally that it would be better for the next year or two to devote the time, energy and money that the home-coming and har­ vest festival costs to the good roads movement, which is undoubtedly wise. The festival means much more to the business men than simply the money they contribute. It means a lot of hard work, both before and after the home-coming week, it means consider­ able expense forfioats for the parade, for decorations, etc, and it may be safely said that nearly every mer­ chant breathes a sigh of relief every year when the week is ended. But it is proposed to made this one a hum­ mer and to give the people of the com­ munity the best time they have ever had, and we want them all to come and enjoy themselves. Come .and hear the music, see the free shows, en­ joy the park, which was never prettier, and have a good time with us. Nash­ ville knows how and is willing. / The report was approved as read. The meeting then took up the elec­ tion of two trustees for three years, O. M. McLaughlin and C. E. Roscoe being the trustees whose term had ex­ pired. J. C. Furniss and C. H.Tuftle were appointed tellers by Chairman Houjrh. The first ballot brought out a number of candidates, will) H. C. Glasner In the lead, although no choice was made. Mr. Glasner was elected on the second ballot by a good majority. For the other place. Dr. F. F. Shilling was elected on the first ballot, having 21 of the 38 votes cast. The proposition put-forth by Mrs. Roe to have primary instruction in sewing introduced in the schools started a lively discussion of the question of manusl training and -do­ mestic science, the till being partici­ pated in by Trustee McLaughlin, sup­ erintendent C.

An exchange says an Oklahoma man lost his dog, and this Is the way the newspaper man let the fact be known; “Henry Mitehell lost his dog, and don’t know where to find him. He wore two ticks upon his neck, and a short stub tail behind him. The dog is long and narrow built, with spots of black and white, and if sees a small dog he always wants to fight. He holds bis tall up stiff and straight when he’& for war prepared, but points it downward to the ground whenever he is scared. The stump tail dog that now is lost, was Henry’s friend and crony, but now, alas, he sadly fears, he's made up in bologpa.” Men like pretty home-makers, no mistake there.

BAKER, Buyer and Manager PAINT OnecuaJtT I* TRIED AND TESTED In buying paint many people make the mistake of simply considering first, cost; they think only of the w , this results in the selection of low priced, price per gallon, short lived, adulterated paint The right way lo buy paint is to consider not primarily what it costs per gallon. But the spreading power, ease of application and durability. B. P. S. paint as regards to spreading capacity is more economical than a so-called cheap paint. It will cover at least 25 per cent, more surface than any cheap paint you can get. When you get ready to paint, try B. P. S. paint and save money. ^OK INTO'1* C. L.

No matter how many times you have tried and failed, have your eyes examined by the latest known meth­ ods; there still may be help for them. You will at least learn the true condition of your eyes. Improved Lenses If you run your finger over the surface of our one-piece “Bifocal" or Double Lense you will find it perfectly smooth —no jog or edge to collect dirt, and they never come off. The “Toric,” or deep curve lense, is made to fit the con­ tour of the eye. They give a wide, easy range of vision, and are far superior to the ordinary flat lense. These and many other improvements to aid those afflicted with defective vision are used by Mr. Gould in his work.

Thereupon rapidly and concisely the ranger reported what Dunn bad said, and the attorney listened thoughtfully without speaking to the end.

Thia saving has enabled the farmers to build better homes and improve their farms. It baa brought them to­ gether and developed a community spirit. Co-operation has been extended to other thing*. The elevator com­ panies usually handle coal, flour, lum­ ber. etc. They are coming to handle wagons and farm machinery. , Co-operative creameries have been organised throughout all the dairy dis­ tricts of the country. These have been able to compete successfully with cen­ tralized plants, and the competition has compelled the ccatralixers to keep prices up. Even then the co-operative creameries handle most of the cream from their territory. A typical co­ operative creamery in eastern Iowa may be taken a* an example of the value of these creameries to the farm­ ers. This creamery saves about $6,000 each year to Its patrons. The fruit growers of Michigan and California beenfVery successful tn co-op.?r:'.~r '^^rnnr^Bng. The condi­ tions whldbKtn^o this were much the same those in the grain belt be­ fore cooperation came to the rescue. In the live stock industry co-opera­ tion is a comparatively new thing, but already, it is accomplishing results. Two years ago the woolgrowers of Wyoming formed a co-operative wool storage company. Large warehouses were built to hold the product, and instead of all being durfiapd on the market at once it was sold gradually, and the usual break In the market was avoided. By this means more than a million dollars was saved to the Wyoming woolgrowers tn one year. The Corn Belt Meat Producers^ as­ sociation has In mind the establish­ ment of a co-operative packing house. This is a practical way of bringing the beef trust to terms and will be a thousand times more effective than all the meat boycotts ever devised. In many more ways co-operation is helping the farmer to market bls prod­ ucts. Co-oj>eratlon has never failed except when It has tried to limit pro­ duction and force up prices artificially, as has been the case at times in the tobacco and cotton districts of the south. But this is not true coopera­ tion. It is monopoly, and it is better that it should fail. True co-operation seeks rather to increase production than to limit it It makes Its profits by cutting down the expense of mar­ keting rather than by raising prices above their normal level. Natural conditions of supply and demand, if not Interfered with by trusts and com­ binations, can be depended upon. to regulate prices so that they will be fair to both producer and consumer. Co-operation is also solving the mon­ ey problem for farmers. Pennsylvania has a numtwr of successful co-operative banks. In the middle west many such Institutions are doing a successful busi­ ness. These banks are safe, for they are usually backed by all the assets of the farmer stockholders. They are run on business principles. One other great problem confronts the farmers in this country which co­ operation has solved In Germany. That is the problem of landownership. A permanent, prosperous agriculture Is possible only where the majority of the farmers own the land they culti­ vate. The proportion of tenant farm­ ers In the United States is steadily In­ creasing. From 25 per cent In 1880 it increased to 38 per cent in 190U. The 1910 census will show In all probabil­ ity that nearly half the farms in the United States are worked by tenants. Germany ha* solved this problem by co-operative loan associations which in­ clude all the farmer* in a community, and the entire assets of the community are pledged to the company aMuSscurIty. On this 'security the company borrows large sums of money at very low rates of interest. This money is used to purchase land for members upon approval of the board of di­ rectors. The farmer who borrow* money from the association pay* it back in easy payments extending over a period of forty years or »o. He is charged a quarter of a cent more in­ terest than the association pays. This quarter of a cent la used to pay ex­ penses and to provide a sinking fund amply sufficient for these purpoee*. Under thia plan the farmer* can buy land by making annual payments that amount to little more than the rent Tenancy in Germany baa been decreas­ ing ever since thia plan went into op- (Elxrfhcraft Good Men also Good Women Like Good Clothes We like to please them.

SHILLING YOU Have a Right to Know Most makers of proprietary medicines keep thair form­ ulas secret. They don’t even tell the druggist what the ingredients are. People used to be satisfied wit the secret method and were willing to take anything that they saw advertised in the papers. It is different now-a-days. Everyone thinks, that he has a right to know what is in the medicine he takes because he considers health more important than money. The makers of Nyal’s Family Remedies believe the peo­ ple have a right to know, and they take the druggist and the people into their confidence—because they know the formulas are right and honest and they know that the druggist can honestly recommend them if he knows the formulas.

This is tbe time of the year, when, because of the extreme heat and'drv weather, we are especially confronted with the danger of fire, and tbe department requests that all do their part to help prevent the great loss of life and property .occasioned through the carelessness of our people in the storing of rubbish, shavings, excelsior, paper, etc., In basements and in alleys. The department asks us to remember tbe lesson of Alpena, Oscoda and AuSable, and to look to it that such conditions are not'allowed to prevail in the other towns in the state. . Nashville is so situated that it is in no danger from forest fires, but wo have many dangers from fire in other ways. Large clusters of frame build­ ings in different parts of town are so located that if fire should start in them on a windy day the local fire de­ partment, efficient as it Is, would be utterly unable to cone with the flames. Take for Instance the recent laundry fire. It resulted from a gasoline ex­ plosion, but the lack of any wind en­ abled the department to take care of it within a few moments. Had a thirty or forty mile gale been blowing at the time, there would have been a dis­ astrous loss of other buildings, in spite of all the department could have done. We get careless because we have had no severe losses for many years, but when we get a Are which destroys a half of the town or more we will realize how criminally care-' less we have become in guarding our property agaihst just such cases. If any interested citizen will make a trip through the alleys back of the stores on both sides of Main street he will gasp in wonderment that tbe town has not been laid waste long ago. An­ other tiling; There is more tnan one store in Nashville in which the base­ ment is a most hazardous tire trap. Excelsior, waste paper, dry boxes and. barrels, piled in confusion, so that the flying spark from a match would start a tire which would endanger the entire business section of the village. Let us all join bands vritli the vil­ lage and state authorities to make next Tuesday "Clean-Up Day,” and let us make a good job of it. While you are at it. look over your electric lighting ana power wires, and if you are not enough of an electrician to know whether or not they, are safe, have some one who is look them over. Pick up all the boxes, barrels, baskets, papers, excelsior, etc., and see that they are properly taken care of. Look to the surroundings of your gasoline cans and barrels: if they are not safe, make them so. The annual fin? loss per capita in the United States is $2.51: In Europe 33 cents. Reason, Europe has better construction, less carelessness, in­ creased responsibility. Michigan's new fire law is a good one. If it is enforced aa it should be, Michigan will soon insist on lower insurance rates and will receive them. But we owe it to ourselves to get busy next Tuesday and see that tbe fire risk in Nashville is reduced about 75%. It can easily be done. A TIMELY WARNING From the Michigan State Board Health. LEADING ISSUES The main things that occu­ py our attention just now are fighting flies, canning fruit and trying to feel com­ fortable. We can supply all kinds of fly killers, can­ ning compounds, etc., as well as everything in toilet articles, such as fine talcum powders, cold creams, toilet soaps, perfumes, etc. Try all these things and you will be happy with the results VON W. FURNISS Jul, IS, 1911. To the Public:— Through the kindness of youreditnr. In behalf of your own welfare, your own health. Very recently I have slated to the public, through the medium of the newspapers of tbe state, the importance of prompt action on the part of each and every household, toward restraining the present tend­ ency of typhoid fever and infantile diarrhoeas to out number the records of the past seasons. This matter is so important to you that the situation is to be called to your attention again. You cannot afford to be passive in this matter. You must take an active interest in order that the results may be of great value. If it were only possible to anticipate what tbe situation is to be, I am sure that no effort would be considered too great to make in lhe protection of your family. Without the least doubt there will be many cases of typhoid fever with deaths, in households where the advice has been given but not heeded. Two things you must do are, fight the flies and boil the drinking water. Every day there come into this office reports of cases of typhoid fever which could have l»een prevented by just these precautions. To make this more specific let me relate a single ex­ perience which we have encountered this week. This is only one of the many. A few days ago a telephone message from a farm home related that there were five cases (mother and four children) of typhoid fever in that bouse. All had developed within a day or two. Tbe water from tbe well was examined Immediately and found to be contaminated, to contain the germs of typhoid fever. This is a deep well and furnishing water that looks and tastes as first-class waler, There bad not been a case of typhoid fever on the farm for forty yean. To the less thoughtful II appeared un­ necessary to "boil the.wate"” because NUMBER 48 LOCAL NEWS. spite of argument to the contrary the water was poor, and was the means by which this whole family is caused to suffer. Tbink what it means! A mother and four children sick of ty­ phoid fever in a single small farm bouse this-hot weather. Boiiiog tbe water and fighting tbe flies would have, prevented this instance. It will, pre­ vent many more if consistently done. How these wells become contaminat­ ed is another matter to be considered. It Is usually not difficult to trace the course of the infected. It was not in this case. But that does no good to this afflicted family now. Boll the water now and then give thought to how It might be contaminat­ ed and how you are. safe-guarding your home. The crop of flies is unusually large and early in the season this year. There is absolutely no doubt that a great many cases of typhoid fever are the direct cansequence of flies in the house. Clean up the breeding places of flies. Kill every one you see with the knowledge that you are prevent­ ing some one from having typhoid fever, or some baby from having cholera infantum. Do these things without walling ‘to be convinced of their worth. Look out for the milk you give the babies this summer. Pasteurize every bit of it. You may save your baby by the extra effort. Not all babies that are mistreated will die, but some will, your own may. In these matters after thought is worthless. I cannot make these appeals in be­ half of the babies, and adults as well, too strong. The State Department of Health fiubllshes and sends out free pamphets giving information you should know, about all lhe dangerous com­ municable diseases in Michigan. Re­ quests for these are always cheerfully met. Now, this Is an earnest, person­ al appeal in behalf of lhe welfare of every household in Michigan. Sincerely yours, R. L. Dixon, Secretary,' Michigan State Board of Health. TELEPHONE ROW FAILS. The Vermontville people raised a great row over the recent raise in telephone rates, held a couple of mass meetings at which most of the subscribers declared they would have their phones taken out. but the matter has finally dropped, the raise stands, and only a very few phones have been ordered out. The phone has come to be a necessity, and while no one really relishes tbe raise in rates, the most of us will be compelled to take our med­ icine. It is a well-known fact about the telephone business, that the larger an exchange grows the more it costs the company, per phone, to maintain the service, for the reason that the larger the exchange the more connec­ tions have to be made for each phone. But the fact remains that with an ex­ change of 300 phones the service is worth much more than on an exchange of 100. Tbe company may be makingan unfair profit, but if tbe service is worth all and more than it costs, then what? Tbe only way to get around it is by state control or public owner­ ship, or by independent telephone companies. The independent company method was much talked of at Ver­ montville, but when it came down to subscribing for stock pretty much the whole bunch backed up. * ANOTHER CHICKEN SUPPER. About thirty Nashville Indians en­ joyed an excellent chicken supper at Thornapple lake Wednesday evening of last week. The gentleman who. contributed the chickens, involuntari­ ly, was unable to attend, which de­ tracted greatly from the enjoymentVjf the occasion, but be says he will try to get to tbe next one. They left a reserve supply of chickens at home, and during their absence tbe ladies appropriated the reserve with the in­ tention of having a chicken supper of their own. They haven't had their supper yet, but* they still have the chickens, in spite of midnight search­ ing parties, led by Barker and other amateur detectives, and we hope they will hurry up and have the feast, be­ fore anything happens to interfere with it. .

I forgot all about the experiment in which.! was engaged, all about ghosts and their ways, and went to sleep. After a time I suddenly waked to find the room dimly pervaded by that yellowish gray or grayish yellow light which had so disturbed tbe slumbers of others In that chamber. , My awak­ ening was so complete that all my fac­ ulties were alert at once.

Three years ago a startling tale came to light concerning a prominent busi­ ness man in Austria. He found him­ self on the brink of rufa. and his wife came to bls rescue at the cost of her own life. Leaving an overheated room one night she walked up and down a stone flagged passage, barefoot and with nothing on but a nightdress, till she caught a chill which she aggravat­ ed by a series of reckless acts. In­ flammation of the lungs set Ln, and she died shortly afterward. Her husband obtained tbe large sum of money for which her life was insured, and with this he was able to pull through the crisis successfully. He married for a second time within three months of his first wife’s death. This ha-band did Dot get off scot free, however. A serv­ ant Id his employ had overheard tbe conversation in which tbe heroic young wife had told her husband her intention to die for bis sake. The serv­ ant informed the police. Then the in­ surance companies contended It was a case of suicide and sued successfully for the return of the money. Tbe bus­ band was prosecuted for being an ac­ cessory to bls wife's death and re­ ceived th* punishment he well merited. A Great Dog Town. Tbe greatest dog town in Great Britain, if not in the world, is Haver­ fordwest. There are a great many men in the town who live wholly and make a good living by breeding, buy­ ing and selling dogs.

The people cf Nashville and vicinity will be pleased to learn that they are to have an opportunity to see an exhibition drill by one of the most famous drill teams of the world. The Battle Creek Elks,’ team, which under the able leadership of Capt. S. M. Fowler, won the world’s championship at Detroit last year, will be here on Thursday afternoon, the first day of the Festival, will take part in the parade, and will give during the after­ noon tbeir famous drill, the same as given by them Detroit when they completely outclassed all competitors. Nashville is able to present this splendid attraction through the courtesy of Captain Fowler, formerly of this place, who numbers his friends in Barry county by the legion, and who Is anxious to have them all see bis famous team In action. In their beautiful uniforms of white and gold, with their clcok-like precision and soldierly bearing, their drill is one of the most beautiful sights we have ever witnessed, and Nashville is indeed fortunate to be given this opportunity. Captain Fowler and his boys will re­ ceive a cordial welcome at the hands of Nashville people and we hope that all may be so-fortunate as to be able to see the drill. FIELD DAY AT THE LAKE. A number of Nashville people at­ tended the field day and dance at Thornappie lake last Thursday. The day was ideal, but owing io the fact that many of the fanners bad not yet finished their harwsting, the crowd was not as large as it should have been. Doings commenced About ten o’clock with a concert by the Nash­ ville band. After that came the .pro­ gram of sports. Ray Irland took first prize in the running hop, step and jump and second in the free-forall dash. Hammond of Vermontville got second in the standing broad Jump and Cook of Vermontville took second in the hop, step and jump. The rest of the prizes were captured by resorters at tne lake. In the after­ noon a ball game between the North Castleton Tigers and the Slaughter House Sluggers was pulled off, the Tigers outclassing tbeir rivals by a score of 10 to 1. Cleve Straw was the only player injured in the fracas. He tried to make a hit with his nose in­ stead of the bat, and succeeded in making a home run to Nashville to gel it patched up.

Curtis, editor of the Vermont­ ville Echo, had a bad smash-up with bis auto Sunday. Accompanied by Mrs. Curtis and their daughter, and Mr. and Mrs. Vance Barber, they bad started for Eaton Rapids. When about four miles east of Charlotte, and running at a rapid rate, they struck a piece of sandy road and the machine turned turtle. Mr. Curtis bad a shoulder put out and Mrs. Cur­ tis bad one foot severely injured, the rest of the party escaping with slight bruises, the fact that the machine was thrown partly on a fence keeping them from being crushed under it. The auto was pretty badly smashed up, but Curtis says he don’t mind that as long as no one was seriously hurt. Later in the day, two autos collided head on in Charlotte, both machines being badly damaged but none of the passengers hurt. MUST HAVE BEEN MARRIED. Passengers on the train from the east yesterday noon were entertained at Vermontville by a lively fight be­ tween an man and a womps. Evident ly one of them wanted to take the train and the other was preventing. The man bad a child in his arms, while the woman had hold of the ohlld’k leg with one hand while with the other she was energetically hammering the man in the face, while the passengers shouted encourage­ ment. The train did not stop at the station long enough for the passen­ gers to see the last round, but neither of the oombatanta made the train. LOCAL NEWS. ' Band concert tonight.

If we consider numbers of animals in tbe United States tbe Guernsey Is considerably below the Jersey and the Holstein. There are two chief reasons for this, first their comparatively late introduction and_ discrimination In their country, and second the limited area o* their native home. The character of the Guernseys se­ lected for tbe Pan American Model Dairy and the sensational work of the cow, Mary Marshall, seemed to bring the Guernsey breed Into considerable prominence. A vigorous plan of ad­ vertising followed by tbe Yeksa Sun­ beam and her successors have further increased the popular Interest In Guernseys, and extended their repu­ tation Into dairying sections. In some of which no representatives or at least only s few members of the breed can be found. k That tbe Guernsey cow will In time exclude the other dairy breeds Is not-a matter of serious thought by any one. but that she is entitled to an equal place among them la universally con­ ceded.

The natural term of man's life, ar­ guing from the logic and evidence of comparative zoology. Is 140 years— and even this is not the limit. Life is a promissory note due one d»y after date, payable on demand, but by right living we can defer payment almost indefinitely. . Eminent scientists teli us that— The life of the bones Is 5.000 years. The life of the lungs is 1.500 years. The life of the skin is SOO years. The life of the liver is 400 years. The life of the kidneys Is 300 years. ' The life of the heart Is 300 years. If 300 years is the life of the heart, then one could not have the heart to live after that. 0 The Hindus, In the development of the physical man. claim for him not only longevity, but immunity from disease.

"Let me see them." Griswold inter­ posed. Hr scrutinized three or four for mors' thsn a minute: ’’They took genuine enough to me.” He offered them to Miss March, whose fingers did not unlock to take them. “We can be certain. very quickly." said Mrs. Mlssloner. She was study­ ing Griswold’s whitening fingers— steady enough, tout deadly white. It was a peculiarity of tho man that he turned pale only in hls hands. **I will send for a jeweler." _ . "My dear! At this hour?" camo in Dorothy's child treble. Mrs. Mlssloner smiled in a way that said there wore jewelers of no small importance in commercial circles who would be glad to snswer a summons from her at any hour—that it was not in vain she was known to dealers as one of the most liberal collectors In tho world. She turned to a rosewood desk and took up a telephone. “Gramercy. »—7—4—6,” she called. “The Effingham?—Mr. Ranscome. please.—This is Mrs. Mlssloner, Mr. Hanscoms.—Yes, I am at home.— Can you come up for a few minutes? —Thank you," and as she returned the receiver to the hook, she explain ed: “Ranscome is tho oldest expert In New York." "While we are about It," said Sands slowly, “wo may as well call beadqyarters." He reached for the tele­ phone. but bis hand was stayed by Dorothy’s fluttering fingers. "Oh. Braxton," she said, “please don’t call tho police," and as hls eye­ brows went up, she added, **I am so frightened." "I wouldn’t be hasty, Sands," satd Griswold. “The newspapers follow the deaths, you know.” H’m not think of the newspapers," replied Mrs. Mlssloner. “but maybe we’d better wait for Mr. Ranscome. You see," and there was perplexity in ths glance that swept the group, “this Is no ordinary theft" “Not a burglary, you think?" asked Griswold quickly. He had lighted hie cigarette, and, leaning back in a coxy corner of tho Inglonook. was smoking with little abrupt puffs that con treated with tho ease of hls position. Ho studied the widow covertly through weaving wreaths. “If a burglar oould reach thia room. I must reorganise my household," she murmured. She was gazing into the flames. Her shoulders drooped, and Sands, noticing her weariness, switched off tho lights. The rainbowsparkle of tho jewel trays varied fan­ tastically the pattern of the rag on which they lay, but tho background of dusk rested her. "And there is no one you suspect?" “There Is no one In the house 1 can suspect” - "You are to be congratulated," Gris­ wold commented, with a smile dis­ creetly divided between sincerity and satire. "And, of course, having such an Impeccable household—" 'If I were you, Doria," Sands broke In Impatiently, “I’d send for tho po­ lice at onoe." Hls slow logic had car­ ried him to the fact that even now the thief might be on the road to es­ cape. Little Miss March glanced at him admiringly. Swift or stow of wit. tho man of action appeals. "I think Mr. Sands Is right, Mrs. Mlssloner,*’ she said softly. “It frigbt“Advise ■«,’ said the widow, her satin slipper Up tap-Upping the fee­ der of burnished brass. **] am not puzsl'ng." "Puzzling!’’ echoed Dorothy. ”lt*s a mystery—and It’s all very dreadful, too." Sands looked at her. smiling. There was eloquence In those rare smiloc of hls, much more than tn hls speech. Not without cause did Wall Street know him as “Silent" Sands. “Why not a private detective?*' Griswold suggested. "It Is tho beet way to recover stolon property." “Mr. Ranscome, madam.’’ A footman of conventional pattern stood on the threshold as If op a pedestal and looked at Mrs. Mlssloner from a carven face. “Let him come up, Blodgett." she responded. Tho earvon features blurred Into the background. A round little man with the face of a dreamer and the eyes of a student entered, al­ most on Lis toes. Mrs. Mission er greeted him pleasantly, and as she pressed the button that filled tho room with light again, she presented him to her friends. “Mr. Ranscome," Briefly the widow recounted the ac­ cident tn the opera box, the discovery of the supposed Maharanee dlar plclou aa te the ether stones of her necklace. During her recitsl Ran* ceme’s fiance caressed the gems In the scattered trays, and It was by a visible effort that ho wrested his eye* 'j I Donnelly briskly. “Who—huh!—do you suspect?" There seemed to be s sort of astigmatism in hls breathfar. Carvos faced tbe group with an expression that said bluntly he sus­ pected everybody. "I don’t suspect anybody." Mrs* M la­ stor. er replied, resuming her talk with ELan sco me. "You notice that—huh!—Carson?" said Donnelly, wheeling on bls mate. The little man seemed not to hear her. . “Did you eay. madam, the Maharopain rippled across her face. "Oh. Mr. Ranscome. think of- It—think of It?" She clasped her hands so tense­ ly tbe rings upon them bit her flash. “Think ot ft, Mr. Ranscome!** “Tbe Maharanee!" he murmured— say, rather, groaned In an undertone. “A glorious jewel, a wonderful jewel, a queen’s jewel! Gone, did you say? Absolutely gons—not a trace of It?" With tbe flat of hls hand, he spread the smaller stones on the table, strok­ ing their gloss with sensitive fingers. He held three or four to the light, then, with a disdainful gesture, smear­ ed the glistening pile broadcast across the board. “None," replied the. widow. “And those?" “These. Mrs. Mlssloner," the expert said, as If waking from a dream, “are Beth Detectives Began an Examination the most beautiful Imitations I have of the Doer. Sands reached for the telephone CHAPTER III.

"i'have taken ft on myself," he told her, “to Inform tho Detective Bureau. This to no time for Sherlocklng. There’ll be a ooupio of detectives here In half aa hour." Mrs. Mlssloner looked at him ad­ miringly. But her eyes turned to Griswold with a light Lt would have taken a woman to road, a woman more experienced than little Dorothy March. Ranscome, Ignoring tho counterfeits, stood tn absorbed study of tho jewel trays’ kaleidoscopic contents. That peculiar pallor returned to Griswold’s hands. With fingers that bent and straightened ceaselessly, he drum­ med hls fist “The robbery Is the more incom­ prehensible,** Bild Mrs. Mlssloner thoughtfully, “because of the extraor­ dinary precautions I have taken against burglars. I cannot understand bow tho thief got to the necklace." “Tour safe seems strong enough." Ranscome ventured. Stepping around the trays, ho passed hls hand over the outer door and looked at tho twenty-four steel bolts curiously. "It should be strong,** returned Mrs. Mlssloner. “It was built on the Hoes of the great safe tn the Grameroy Na­ tional. It differs only in else and In tho absence of a time lock." Ranscome. staring at the safe, shook hls head. Sands walked over te him and, thrusting both hands In hls pock­ ets. stood gazing at the bolts. Gris­ wold, smoking Quietly In the Inglenook. mustered a show of interest In the safe from time to time, but al­ ways hls glance returned to the glit­ tering tray a ”1 wish you’d put those away. Doris," said Griswold suddenly. “With all this mystery In the air. I don’t like to see them lying around." “Surely they’re safe among us.“ she answered, graciously Including Rans­ come with an extra smile. She drew off her gloves decisively and, rising as If from folds ot conjecture, rang for Blodgett "I think—" she said, then stopped with her hand on Doro­ thy’s shoulder. Inquiry reached toward her from “I think.** she went on, “Mlaa March need something to drink.** It was when Blodgett, tray-laden, was tinkling hls way to the library that the detectives arrived. The hostess and her guests, the footman having been bidden to show the pooutside ths door, where Donnelly and Carson, of the Central Office, were gripped tn a panicky pause. Next moment a large man with a small head, and another so aggressively av­ erage as to be a nondescript, camo In. Donnelly, the big man, turned out hls toes as he walked. A charm the size and shape of a double eagle, bearing a Bacchante whoso pose would have been Indecorous If It had not been Impossible, swung from bls equatorial waist line.

"We’ve con* up here, Mrs stoner." said Donnelly, addressing Miss March, “to find your diamonds." “Oh, thank you!" murmured the widow, sweeping toward him. **I am Mrs. Mlssloner.. Won’t you be seat- “Why,—huh!—no. Mias Mlssloner— Mrs Mlssloner—no, thanks! ” answer­ ed tho sleuth, with all the airy ease of a highly embarrassed man. "We’ll Jost—huh!—walk around a little, thanks—just walk around." Carson, neutral echo of hls colleague's words, did walk around. Donnelly, as If. having announced the action, he had done his share, stood still. Dorothy and Griswold exchanged glances. Sands stared stolidly at the sleuths. Mrs. Mlssioner, with a per- "Nobody suspected — huh!" — He breathed In dialect Carson.

It fell short "There Is no one to be suspected— no one I can suspect” she said. Feet at right angles, Bacchante dancing desperately aa tho fob rose and fell, the largo man from the Cen­ tral Office moved toward tbe safe. Mrs. Mlssloner shuddered at thought of tho peril to her jewels from bls plate armor solos. Her Imploring eye­ sweep brought ready response from Sands and Griswold, aad In a second’s fraction they were piling tho trays on chairs and tables. Ranscome, help­ ing, handled the morocco cases with loving touch. Donnelly steppod short at sight of the gems in tho trays. An interroga­ tive snort vibrated somewhere inside him, but found no oral expression. Ho passed on to tho safe. With a master­ ful grasp, ho swung tho groat door te and fro. suspect Carsosl” The echo crossed tho room with whispering tread. Both detectives ho­ gan an examination of the door.

Then they shifted their eyes to the thick edge of tho door, and their scrutiny bored Its way past bolt after bolt until ft switched to tho Inner panel That done, they exam­ ined tho rectangle Into which tho big door fitted aa thoroughly. Tho big man straightened abruptly. Bacchante's heals came down aad her hands fluttered aloft Tho catoh In his voice, characteristic of him when In tho presence of the rich, was brush­ ed out of hls throat by a burst of pro­ fessional zeal. He recognised a situa­ tion that enabled him to play Inquisi­ tor In a home of wealth. “Where were the jewels stolon from?** ho asked. “I don’t know," said Mrs. Mlssloner. "When did you miss them?" Again the widow recited the Lncb dent of the opera box. “Who was In tho party?" Mrs. Mlssloner told him. She did not mention the Oriental tn box. It did not occur to her. “Isn’t there anybody you can think of." pursued tbe big detective, “who could have taken them r" “Nobody who would," Mrs. Mlssloner. “Did anybody else have nation of tho safe?" “One." responded Mrs. Mlssloner. She answered defensively, like a witness under hostile croes-examlnatlen, volunteering nothing. Donnelly seem­ ed not to hoar her. He was examin­ ing tho safe again. He passed hls hand over tho door and Its frame again, turned the handle that shot the bolts, noted their strength and smoothness, turned them back sad wheeled on Mrs. Mlssloner abruptly. “Thero’s been no forcing hero," ho said segely.

Another little child, worth infinitely more than all of the dogs In the uni­ verse, blds fair to lose its life through being bitten by a dog. The little son of Lester Wolff, living north of Stony Point, was terribly bitten in the face Wednesday afternoon of last week by a dog o#ned by O. H. Gates, who live* on the Crabb farm. The little one had been taken to the Gate* place by it* grandmother, who was cau­ tioned to watch the child while the dog was around. Jost for an instant, how­ ever, the vigilance of those present was relaxed, and they heard the child screaming In the yard just outside the door, and rushed out to see the dog, a collie, sneaking away from the little one, whose face was bleeding from six ugly wounds made by the dog, whose teeth had penetrated in places for half an inch or more. The child was brought at once to Dr. Min­ nie Baker, who dressed the wound*. Thursday, at the request of the child’s father, Supervisor Smith, ac­ companied by Constable White, went out to the Crabb farm in John Tay­ lor’s automobile after the dog, which was given up by Gates without an obection. They brought the dog back town and killed it, and the head was sent to Ann Arbor for a test for rabies. Friday the child was taken to Ann Arbor for treatment, and on Saturday the little one was taken to the general hospital, as pus had com­ menced forming in the wounds. Saturday evening Mr. Smith talked with the Ann Arbor physicians over the 'phone and was informed that the child was in a serious condition, and that upon dissection of the dog's head indications of rabies were found.’ Guinea pigs and rabbits were in­ oculated from the dog, but it will take about ten days to determine definitely as to whether the dog was mad or not. In the mean time, the little one will have the best possible care and treat­ ment, and it is to be hoped that he may come out all right. About 99.99% of the (jogs in this country ought to be killed. Of course, this don’t mean your dog, for your dog is a dandy, a family pet, worth about a hundred thousand dollars, and would never, under any circum­ stances, bite anybody, but all of the rest of the dogs are dangerous and ought to be killed. If this little child was your child, then you' would agree that all of the dogs ought to be killed, but until something like this comes home to you—until the anguish and the worry are yours, you will not really realize bow precious the life of a child is, and how absolutely worth­ less that of nearly all the dogs is. If you must keep a worthless cur around, muzzle him or keep him in your own bouse, and when a little child- comes in, take the confounded dog and lock him up until the child has gone. HENNER-WILSON. The nuptials of Henry J. Henner of Webster. New York, and Miss Caro­ line E. Wilson of Kalamo were cele­ brated at high mass at St. Cyril’s church in Nashville yesterday morn­ ing at nine o’clock, by Rev.Fr. Linsky of Hastings, the double ring service being used. The bridesmaid was Miss Josephine Henner, sister of the groom, of Rochester, N. Y., and the groom's man was Fred J. Herbst of Webster, N. Y. The bride wore a handsome gown of white mwnsdown and carried bride's roses. The bridesmaid wore white batiste and curried pink.roses. The flower girls were Misses Ruth and Alreta Dodg­ son of Kalamo. Immediately after the ceremony tife bridal party left in-autos for Kalamo, where a wedding breakfast was served I at twelve o'clock at the home of the bride’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Wilson. A reception was tendered the happy couple from six to eight o'clock in the evening, at the Wilson home, which had been beautifully decorated for the occasion. Mr. and Mrs. Henner will visit rela­ tives and friends at Hastings and Woodland until August 12, when they will leave fora trip in the east before going to their future home at Web­ ster, N. Y., where the groom is en­ gaged in business. The sincere and hearty congratula­ tion* and good wishes of a host of friends will accompany them on their way thifough life. VIOLATIONSOF ORDINANCES. Not until some one or several per­ sons are haled into court and made to pay a fine or stand for a term in. jail will people begin to realize hoyv flagrantly the village ordinances are being violated. One of the worst nuisances in town just at present is the prevalence of chickens. It seems as though the keeping of chickens had come to be a sort of disease, and if it is there is certainly an epidemic in Nashville. The ordinance says they must not be allowed to run at large, but they do, just the same, and in every part of town. There is hardly a street in the village where the sidewalks are fit to walk on, and scarcely a lawn where you can safely throw down a quill or a rug. The people who try to raise gardens have a hard time of it, and if they try to keep the chickens out they start a row right away. The keeping of chickens in town has caused more bard feelings tidtween neighbors than almost any other one cause, because it is almost impossible to keep the littlo chtexs penned up, and many of the chicken raisers don't try to keep even the larger ones confined. Over at Portland a woman has just served a part of a jail sentence for this very thing, but got tired of the confinement and paid a fine. Who’ll be the first in Nashville? Several auto owners a re on the black book, too. They persist in driving at a dangerous rate of speed, and some other* persist in driving after dark without lights. After someone’s kid is run down in the street and killed, —will be to pay and all the owners of automobiles will be cussed for even owning one of the things. Drivers of machines should consider the rights of other people just a* they insist up­ on their right to half of the highway. It don't cost an auto driver any more to be square and decent than It doe* anybody else. A Hasting* driver, name known, came into Nashville last Sunday at a 45-mile clip and narrowly missed taking the embank­ ment south of the Quaker brook bridge. He should have been made an example of, but it would be well to wipe our own noses first’. The common council should insist upon the ordinance being enforced. The city marshal should enforce them, and he should be backed up in doing It. It might make the marshal ana council unpopular with a certain few who seem to think they should have special privileges, but they would have the moral support of a large majority of the population, whose rights are being daily imposed upon. If you persist in violating the law, constantly and every day, you ought to be arrested and fined, and you should blame no one but your head­ strong self if that very thing happens. You are no better than the rest of us, whoever you may be. TWO TO MAKE BARGAIN. The old saying that it “take* two to make a bargain” is well borne out by an iron clad rule in force at the clerk’s office in the court house. When Dr. and Mrs. McKinnis re­ turned from their visit to the east they brought with them Mis* Fern Mix of Nashville, Michigan. This was by special request of the doctor's brother, who is C. E. McKinnis, a physician of Sequim, Washington. This doctor is a mighty busy man. He and Miss Mix have been lovers since they were little kiddies and have always intended to get married some day. At last the doctor decidedjthat he couldn’t live any longer without the girl of his choice. But several of his Sequim patients felt that they couldn’t live without the doctor right close at hand. So it was decided to have everything ready at this end of the line and Dr. McKinnis would make a flying trio here, claim his bride and hie himself back to the many Sequim sickbeds. On his way up he was to get the marriage license at Bellingham. And there is where he ran up against the old adage. Either be must produce the prospective bride or an affidavit to the effect that she really wanted to get married. He came on to Blaine, nervous at the thought that he stood to lose either a bride or a patient. He must get home on the next train, and he did. Dr. McKinnis, the Blaine dentist, is some kind of a speed merch­ ant with that anto of his. He took the matrimonially inclined pairto Belling­ ham, secured a license for them, brought them back to Blaine and had the Reverend Case tying the wedding knot in less than three hours. Mean­ time Mrs. McKinnis was packing suit­ cases and trunks and Dr. and Mrs. C. E. McKinnis waved their good-byes to Blaine from the rear platform of the eleven o’clock fast train.—Blaine (Washington) Budget. KLE1NHANS-WELCH. Nashville people were somewhat surprised the latter part of last week to learn that another counle of Nash­ ville’s young people had been quietly married several days before. The contracting parties were Henry C. Kleinhans, better known as Clift, only son of Mr. and Mrs. W.H. Kleinhans, and Miss Edith Emily Welch, daugh­ ter of Mrs. J. B. Mix. The marriage occured on Monday evening, July 24t at the residence of Mr. ana Mrs. Chauncey Hicks, and the ceremony was performed by Rev. C. C. Gibson, pastor of the Evangelical church. The newlyweds are domiciled for the present al the Wolcott Bouse, but ex­ pect soon to make their home with the groom’s parents, on State street. It isn’t often that a fellow gets a wife for a birthday present, hut this was one of the occasions, the groom attaining his majority on the day of his wed­ ding. He is one of Nashville's promising ypung men, having taken a position in his father’s mercantile establishment upon leaving school, and is making good. The bride is one of our best young ladies, and the many friends of the happy couple will join in wishing them the best of everything that life has to offer. CLEAN UP THE TOWN. We hope to see Nashville property cleaned up and decorated for the Harvest Festival. Every weed and bit of rubbish should be cleaned from every street, alley, vacant lot and oilier place in town, so that the vil­ lage may present its very best appear­ ance when our visitors arrive. The street commissioner should get busy ■ and see that all the streets are slick and clean, and every citizen should help him to put the town in order. The appearance of the town should be the pride of every citizen. Nashville is one of the prettiest country towns in the state, and we should be proud of it and look our very best for the Fes­ tival. Use flags and bunting liberal­ ly, and let us make the town attract­ ive in every possible way. We also urge upon the people living along the roads leading to Nashville to see that all the weeds and brush along the highways are cut in accord­ ance with the state law before that time. Take a pride in the appearance of your farm and its surroundings and let us look as neat and tidy as possible. We are going to have company next week. A lad named Surine had a narrow escape from losing his life Saturday. He was riding around on one of Hen­ ry’s drays, which was unloading some building material in the editor’syard, when the dray tipped over and the lad fell between the wheel* of the dray and the horses’ heel*. The team started to run, but L. R. Ashley, who was at the house, caught the horses ana held them until the lad was extri­ cated from his perilous position. He was somewhat bruised up, but not seriously hurt. LOCAL NEWS. Band concert tonight. Harvest Festival next week. Big wall paper sale—Brown. Welcome home at the bakery. See our new perfumes. Brown.

You will not be called upon to’ pay for nor answer for any of the sins of your neighbor: You have ayou can attend to to pay for your own in­ discretions. • A town that never has anything to do in a public way, is on the way to the cemetery. Any citizen who will do nothing for his town is helping to dig the grave. A man that curses the town furnishes the coffin. The man who is.so selfish as to have no time from bis business to give the city af­ fairs is making the shroud. The man who will not advertise is driving the hearse. The man who is always pull­ ing back from any public enterprise throws bouquets on the grave. The man who is so stingy as to be howling hard times, preaches the funeral, sings the doxology, and thus the town lies buried from all sorrow and care. Who does not dread the visitor w*ho starts, then thinks of something else to say, rises and then thinks of an­ other subject of conversation- nearly reaches the door, and then has another revelation: readies the door, and most probably holding it open, is aroused to a degree of mental bril­ liancy that threatens his health and that of his host or hostezs by long de­ taining of both in a cold .draft while he discourses? What a tax on the pa­ tience and politeness of the listener, who vainly strives, by assenting in­ stantly to every proposition to end the interview and break the restrain­ ing bond of polite attention. NO REASON FOR IT. When Nashville Citizens Show the ( Certain Way Out. There can be no just reason why any reader of this will continue to suffer the tortures of an achinv back, the an­ noyance of urinary disorders, the dangers of diabetes or any kidney ills when relief is so near at hand and the most positive proof given that they can be cured. Read what a Nashville citizen says: Mrs. J. E. Hamilton, State St., ' Nashville says: “I take pleasure in recommending Doan’s Kidney Pills in return for the benefit they brought me. A dull, nagging backache kept me in misery and I was subject to headaches and dizzy spells. In the morning up­ on arising my back was lame and weak and the kidney secretions caused me much annoyance by their irregular­ ity in passage. Reading about Doan's Kidney Pills, I procured a supply from Furniss’ drug store and after using the contents of two boxes Sr trouble disappeared. Doan’s dney Pills improved my condition in every way and consequently I do not hesitate to tell of my experience.” For sale by all dealers. Price 50 cents. Foster-Milburn Co.. Buffalo.

Farmers, make it a point to be in town next Monday, at one o’clock, for that is the specified time when the “Soil and Wheat Special” Is billed to arrive in Nashville. The train will remain here for an hour, giving all ample time to look over the exhibits in the cars and gain a vast fund of useful information. There will be interesting talks by people who are qualified on their subjects, and it will be well worth the time of all to go and see and hear. The state board of health will also have a special car on the train, and will give some startling facts about typhoid fever, tuberculosis, infant mortality and general sanitation. No matter whether you live in town or in the country, it will pay you to visit this train next Monday, August 7, at one o’clock. ____ ______ Attack Like Tiger*. In fighting to keep the blood pure the white corpuscles attack disease germs like tigers. But often germs multiply so fast the little fighters are overcome. Then see pimples, bolls, ecrema, salt-rijeum and sores multiply and strength and appetite fail. This condition demands Electric Bitters to regulate stomach, liver and kidneys and to expel poisons from the blood. “They are the beat blood purifier.” writes C. T. Budahn, of Tracy, Cali­ fornia, “I have ever found.They make rich, red blood, strong nerves and build up your health. Try them. 50c at Von W. Furniss’ and C. H. -Brown’s.

Tanner Is not at all in sympathy with- the measure, and says: "I am not In favor of any such radical aodon in abolishing the publlo drinking cups as has been taken in some places. I am in favor of eliminating everything that'would tend to spread disease, but believe In doing it in a conservative way. I do not believe the state board of health has the power to compel us to abolish the drinking cup in such a summary manner.” Sault St?. Marie.—The last ses­ sion of the third annual convention of the Michigan Association of Coun­ ty Clerks was held here.

FIFTY HURT IN TRAIN WRECK Excursion Cars Are Ditched By Brok­ en Rail on Lehigh Road at Bur. dette. N. Y. New York. July . 29.—Fifty passen­ gers were Injured and nearly 200 others had a narrow escape when an excursion train from western points to Atlantic City on the Lehigh Valley road was wrecked at Burdette, on Seneca Lake, in the central part of the state. The crash came when nearly all the travelers were asleep. Three deep­ ing cars left the truck and rolled down a ten-foot .embankment All the Injured were in these coaches. The accident was caused by a brok­ en rail about two miles west of Bur­ dette. Most of the injured were ablp to con­ tinue the journey. Kidney trouble and the ills it breeds means lost time and lost pay to many a working man. M. Balent, 1214 Little Penna St., Streator, Ill., was so bad from kidney and bladder trouble that he could not work, but he says: “I took Foley Kidney Pills for only a short time and got entirely well and was soon able to go back.to work, and ain feeling well and health­ ier than before.” Sold by Von W.

Erie, Pa., July 31.—After a trial lasting ten day*, Gilbert B. Perkin*, president of the Perkins Union Detec­ tive agency of Pittsburg, and Charles Franklin, manager of the concern's Philadelphia office, were convicted of attempted extortion. Perkins, who is seventy yean of age, was sentenced to three year* in the government prison at Leaven­ worth, Kan., and Franklin was given a one-year sentence. The case had attracted widespread interest on account of the prominence of those who were behind the prose­ cution. Perkins and Franklip were indicted on the charge of writing and sending through the United States malls sev­ eral letter* to Charie* H. Strong, president of the local electric light company, and son-in-law of former Congressman William L. Scott, and hl* wife, demanding 650,000. These letters were signed "Black Hand." The letters followed the desecration of the Scott mausoleum in the Erie cemetery last February.

Ungovernable, ugly bulla are usual­ ly the result of mismanagement, ex­ cept where the apeclally treacherous or vicious disposition Is Inherited. As a rule .the bull hands back to a man on the points of his horns the exact treatment accorded him at the points of the pitchfork' prongs. The club has no place whatever in the handling of a bull and the same is also true of boisterous conduct of any kind on the part of the attendant Quietness and gentle but firm treat­ ment are essential to the proper training of the bull. Never under­ take to make the animal do anything without accomplishing the same. If there should be any question about the result do not undertake it The man who Is afraid of a bull should not attempt to manage him, as the bull will detect the first evidences of fear and begin to take advantage at once, finally becoming ungovernable. Owned On the other band, no man should pursue foolhardiness and expose him­ self to danger unnecessarily. The great trouble la that most bulls are handled too little, being confined con­ tinuously for long periods in small dark- and often filthy quarter*. An attendant should move quietly around the bull; shouting, loud talking and quick moves excite the bull of ner­ vous temperament. While some object to the staff, still we believe it should always be used in handling the bull as a lead strap furnishes no protection whatever. We also believe that the stock bull which is not to be used tn the show ring should be. dehorned, even though the necessity may not be very apparent, as it modifies the danger quite ma­ terially. It Is a regrettable fact that so many bulls just reaching maturity have been sent to the block because people were afraid to buy on account of Improper handling and training.

The fit of the connecting rod upon the piston pin and crank pin also should be noted occasionally. Loose- i ness can be detected at either place by shaking or moving the fly wheel slightly and holding the finger at once upon the connecting rod and piston or crank. In taking up the wear at those points be sure there is a sufficient thickness of "liners” between the parts to prevent clamping upon the pins when the nuts are drawn tight Lock nuts or some other means should be used to prevent these nuts working loose. Tbe crank shaft bearings should al­ so be kept closely adjusted, but net so light as to prevent a film of oil forming around the shaft for lubrica­ tion.

This Is largely true In that the gas engine Ills are made up of minor difficulties which are eas­ ily corrected, but which are also eas­ ily overlooked. Stubbornness, a pro. penalty sometimes attributed to the pns engine, is an Indication that it Is one of the most human of machines. It might be added that this stubborn­ ness Is not due to any Innate per­ verseness on the part of the engine, but rather a lack of acquaintance, aad consideration on the part of the oper­ ate. Nd machine will respond more readily to. rsreful treatment and a thoughtful consideration of its pe­ culiarities. . The bteam engine in the bandff-'of a careless engineer will continue to run and pound until it is damaged past repair The gas engine on the - ther hand will. In general, meet such treatment by a )H»rslstent refusal to ». rt or run. This very characteristhe safeguards against the abuse of the engine, but one should not wait for trouble to mani­ fest itself tn this form. There are . ' Bi;? things about the engine that rliould hove careful and regular at­ tention. Ignition troubles may be said to comprise about 90 per cent, of gas engine troubles. Broken connections, dirty spark plugs, weak batteries are Ills /with which even the novice is becoming familiar. Exasperating as the e difficulties may be they can usually result In little barm to tbe engine itself since it will not run un­ til they are corrected. Neither would it be necessary for me to state that black smoke coming from the exhaust indicates a mixture containing too much gasoline vapor or that white smoke from the same source indi­ cates an excess of cylinder lubricating oil. It is the features of the engine which give no immediate trouble, but which through neglect will disable the machine in a comparatively short time that we wish to discuss. Certain parts of the gasoline engine are subject to rapid and sudden changes of motion and direction. They are also subject to the enormous ex­ plosive forces in the cylinder. It fol­ lows then that they should be care­ fully fitted and kept in adjustment to -prevent pounding and excessive wear.

"I’m going to have Manning call you fellows back to Mulberry Street,” said Bands, his Jaw hardening, ’ He’s sent the wrong men. This Isn’t a Tbnderlotn case." "Now, see here, Mr. Sands—” snarled Donnelly threateningly. “I’m seeing straight enough.” re­ turned Saads. “I asked the Detective Bureau to send up on an Important case, and the wires crossed before ray message got to the Chief.

We’re on this case, and we’re going to stay on it And if you start anything with Manning, you want to be sure you can finish it" He was white, shaking—whether with rage or fear no one could say. Turn­ ing to Mns. Missioner, he went on: "I suppose you know, ma’am, interfer­ ence with on officer Is a pretty seri­ ous thing. We're here on duty, and It’s up to you to see we’re not both­ ered.” Mrs. Missioner paled. She dreaded, not the law, but a scene. “I think we would better let them have their way, Bruxton,” she mur­ mured. the light of admiration is her eyes in contrast to her words. “Mr. Donnelly knows Miss Holcomb’s stand­ ing now. He will remember.” Donnelly didn’t know precisely what he was expected to remember, but he realized gentler tactics were safer to­ ward the widow's secretary while Sands was around. It did not escape even his observation that neither Ransoome nor Griswold had said any­ thing in Miss Holcomb’s defense. "Now, this is all wrong, young lady,” he said to Elinor, bearing on the soft pedal aa much M he could. "It Isn’t right for you to go on like this, you know. You’ll get yourself all worked up and then you won’t be able to answer our questions. Take my word for it, ii’s best for you to keep yourself in band." Elinor couldn't keep herself in hand while that raucous voice was thrust into ber self-respect like a rusty file gripped M a poinard. She fought for self-mastery, but the shock was too much for her determination. Doro­ thy’s sisterly comforting only made her tears flow more freely. Her whole form quivered with staccato sobs. Carson, still on his little journey around the room, came full within range of Blodgett’s right-angled gaze. Ax be sensed the footman's expression he started violently and. stepping back swiftly, turned away In con­ fusion. Not a muscle of Blodgett's other features moved, but his eyes seemed to reach for tbe detective. Donnelly wm rapidly recovering his place on the pedestal Hands wrist­ deep in pockets, he rooked on his heels and looked at Elinor piercingly with his little eyes. Tbe girl, in an interval between sobs, raised her head and saw that gaze. A slow flush swept her face. She detached herself gently from little Mica March, and lifting that graceful bead of hers higher, ever higher, faced the sleuth with composure m startling as bad been her loss of control. “If you have anything more to ask. sir," she said In a low tone, "I will try to answer.” “Thanks!” cam® the curt reply. "I knew you’d come around. You see, MIsh Elinor—’’ "Mias Holcomb!" burst from Sands In a thunder tone. “H-ol-o-o-m-b—you understand—Miss Holcomb." Donnel­ ly pretended not to notice the Inter­ ruption, but he did not address Elinor by her first name again. But Canon seemed m perturbed as he had been under the malignant gaze of the mo­ tionless Blodgett. "What were you doing in Maiden Lane the other day?" asked Donnelly, sharply. "I was not in Maiden Lane, 1 haven’t been downfcwn in weeks. The last time I went south of the shop­ ping district wm more than a month ago." “That is true.” aald Mrs. Missioner hurriedly. “Mias Holoomb went to the Battery Trust company for ’me." “Much obliged, ma’am." Donnelly wm learning to show more deference to- the widow. Carson had whispered to him something of her social im­ portance. Yes, Carson, although he wm only a neutral tint In the human color scheme, knew a few things. “Was that the day you took the dia­ monds to Tiffany’ll?* queried the blgr detective quickly.

Furniss TbeMS«ll and Wheat Special,'* h Baaaer Atteadaace at Naahville Maaday. At no town which it has visited the “Soil and Wheat Special” had a more hearty reception than it had at Nashville Monday afternoon. The train was a half hour late arriving here, caused by the lateness of other trains, but they spent their full hour here, and the cars were crowded dur­ ing all of the time with an interested lot of farmers and townspeople. There was a goodly crowd waiting at the station when the train pul lea In, and other crowds came flocknig from all directions as soon as it whistled. The two lecture cars of the train were immediately filled to their capacity, and many others who were not able to get iq to hear the lectures spent the time looking through the M. A. C. farm exhibit and the special c*r of the State Board of Health. Both of these exhibits were of great interest and there was much to be learned. Interesting literature was freely pass­ ed out and practical demonstrations were made. In the board of health car one thing which attracted much attention was an exhibit under a microscope of typhoid fever germs, which could be plainly.seen busily at work. Germs of tuberculosis, diph­ theria and other communicable diseases were also shown, ns well as. the practical method of pasteurizing milk, the best means of fumigating and disinfecting, etc. Near the center of the car a red electric light flashed every three minutes, showing how often a living soul passed from earth by the tuberculosis route. A strong Ciea was also made to fight the flies, y every means poisiole. In England there are so few flies that it is seldom necessary to use screens on the houses. The same condition might exist In this country if a persistent and-systematic war of extermination were waged against the pest. If people really realized how filthy and absolutely dangerous to health and life the common house fly is the war would start at once and would never relax as long as a fly could be found. The M. A. C.-grain exhibit car was a great point of Interest to the large number of farmers gathered to greet the train, and many of them gleaned some practical points in looking over the exhibits and talking with those in charge. A practical exhibit was that showing the amount of wheat of various brands raised in the state, which is 18.2 per acre. The result at the state farm runs from 37 to 42 bushels per acre. And this is not the result of special fertilization, as sup­ posed by many, but of careful and methodical selection and treatment of seed, and thorough preparation of ground. There are many pieces of wheat throughout the state which go higher than those at, the experiment station, some of them showing sixty bushels to the acre. In the opinion of the heads of departments al the state school, the average yield of wheat per acre for Michigan could easily be raised to 25 bushels per acre, by careful attention to selection and treatment of seed and thorough soil preparation. . Those in charge of the tnrfn remarked upon tiie large attendance and interest here, which was In marked contrast to some localities. At some SI aces the train was deserted ten to fteen minutes before leaving time, but here the crowd had to be fairly driven off the train, even though Ute train was held here beyond the hour limit. This goes to show that the people here were interested In the things that the train represents, and are looking for information. We wish that, next year some arrangement might be made to have the train stop here for half a day, with an evening meeting at the opera bouse, We could safely guarantee them a good crowd. from a few weeks u> several mouths, and during this period Pasteur's treatment may be given and the dls- Over 90 per cent of all cases of rabies results from being bitten by dogs. It is therefore of highest im­ portance that the muzrling of dogs be enforced. In Great Britain the num­ ber of cases of rabies in 1889 was 312, at which Hine muzzling began to be enforced. In 1892 the number of cases had been reduced to 38 and the muzzling ordinance which had met with a great deal of opposition was relaxea. After this the number of cases rapidly increased to 672 in 1896, after which muzzling was again en­ forced and the number of cases was reduced to none in 1900 Let us profit by the experience of Great Britain and remove this terrible affliction from our midst. When animals cannot bite they cannot communicate the disease and the contagion of rabies will die with the dying of the last infected. Many of the contrivances sold as muzzles are not effective and are simply attempts to*evade the law. In a town where a muzzling order is in force, unless a dog wears an efficient muzzle, one that prevents the dog from biting, be should be looked upon in the same light as a dog that does not wear one.

Samuel Davids, a prominent farmer of Dauby township, in Ionia county, has been arrested charged with mak­ ing a false affidavit as to the amount of his personal property liable to taxation. He has made a business of loaning considerable money and gave in his personal property at about *5,000 when it is claimed that it should have been nearer 920,000. The alleged offence is one which makes it a case for the circuit court, but the defendant is entitled to a pre­ liminary examination in justice court which was held August 1. Conviction on a charge of this sort carries with it a fine not more than 81,000 or a term in the county jail not to exceed six months.

NASHVILLE REALESTATE EXCHANGE HOT WORDS AT SEAL HEARING Letter From Fisheries Commission Calling Representative a “Tool" Raises a Storm. .-Printing? Are you in need of printing of any kind? Now York. Aug. 7.—Theodore Roosevelt came before, the bouse of representatives committee of inquiry Into, the United States Steel corpora­ tion here.and voluntarily told bow his action In consenting to the absorp­ tion of the Tennessee Coal and iron company by tho steel corporation in 1M7 averted a disastrous panic. The former chief executive’s action in submitting to a congressional re­ view of acts of bls own administra­ tion was almost unprecedented In tho , history of the United States. Takes All Responsibility. . First and foremost he placed upon himself responsibility for approving the absorption to save a perilous financial disaster in Wail street, and condemned, any man who would be ao weak as not to act as be did In that crisis. Not to have done as he did. he said, would have been crim­ inal. . The chapter he contributed not only dealt with his part In the momentous events . of that threatening • time, but be gave the committee some interest­ ing opinions on the trust question that loomed up In their Import even more than his recital of facts In the Ten­ nessee Coal and Iron transaction. Situation Was Critical. After declaring that bfs object In approving the sale of the Tennessee company was to restore confidence the former president. In response to Inquiries by Representative Littleton relating to the case as presented to him by Judge Gary and H. C. Frick at the memorable White House con­ ference In .November, 1907. said: "The situation was so critical that It was Hable to break at any moment until tbe action was taken, and the Instant It was taken an enormous Im­ provement for the better occurred, and. as said In the poem of Mr. Emer­ son, with which you all are so well acquainted: " 'If a red slayer thinks he slays. Or If the slain thinks he 1s slain. It matters noL* "I should have proved an unworthy public officer Jf I had not done as I did,” he continued. Tim© for Action at Hand. "If I had not acted at once In that extraordinary crisis I should have been a mere tittle. In every such crisis the temptation to indecision, to nonactlon, always exists. There Is al­ ways excuse for non-actlon. If a man Is worth his salt be will give people In trouble the benefit of the doubt and act as. tbe situation demands if the law Is not violated. "Every step I took was as open as the day." Then Mr. Roose .-elt launched Into a general discussion with Chairman Stanley of the general trust question, saying that tbe United Ctatea had something to learn from Germany, Makes Talk on Trusts. "Mr. Stanley,” Mr. Roosevelt said. "I have stated again and again while I was president In messages to con­ gress, which were not always re­ ceived with as much enthusiasm as they wrere written, and since then In articles and speeches, just what I nave felt tbe attitude of congress toward these great corporations should be, and, as you know, I be­ lieve In a far more drastic and far more thoroughgoing supervision and control over them by the .national gov­ ernment than we have yet achieved. I am sure you will not achieve your purpose by splitting up the big cor­ porations. Strong Control Needed. "While something can be done along that line, in addition, and to my mind mainly, the work must be done by our national government, acting as the government of Germany has, I think, in the potash matter acted— by actually. In the Interest of all tbe people, Interfering and exercising a degree of control over a big corpora­ tion which It would be wholly unnec­ essary to exercise over a corporation that has no monopolistic taint" Such as Washington, Aug. 8.—A stormy acene was provoked before the house committee on department of com­ merce and labor expenditures by trie reading of a letter from Commission­ er of Fisheries Bowers assailing Rep­ resentative Townsend of New Jersey as a “tool of a dangerous besmircher of character" in connection with charges of official sanction of unlaw­ ful seal slaughter. invitations, letter heads, note heads, bill heads, envel­ opes—In fact, anything?

Even the expert is' baffled. The cheapest sort of tea and the very best may look similar to the eye, but when brewed and in the cup, to the taste there is a world of difference. Why then should not the peddler, the tea fakir and the cut rate grafters buy the scum of the tea and offer a worthless premium with it and get a good price and still make a nice profit? That’s exactly what Mr. Premium man does. He depends upon his worthless premiums to sell his flavorless tea. If you ever try CHASE & SANBORN'S TEAS and then that sold by Mr. Premium man you’ll note a difference. A difference so marked that you’ll never again buy premium tea. The wise cook says: GIVE ME CHASE & SANBORN'S TEA and I’ll brew you a cup of tea that no one can find a fault with. It will taste delicious, appetising. It will convince you that in the world of tea, there is no other that can equal it. Try a half pound package and you’ll say say too—costs 40c and 50c a pound. �=-" t '= Rapid..

The part of tho soil which contains these things In tbo proper amounts will‘induce most rapid growth and soon become per­ meated with an interlacing system of rootlets. Unless soil is naturally un­ derdrained by a porous subsoil, or artificially by tile, the lower strata will contain an excess of water, filling up tbe air spaces and making the soli cold and unfit for root growth. As a result tho roots will grow as In Fig. 1, near the surface, where there ia air-and warmth. In case of drought later in the season, this will result seriously because tbo top layer of soil, where the roots are, will dry out and the plant, lacking deep roots, will suffer for the water it cannot reach. On the other hand, a plant growing In well drained soil, as Fig. U, will develop a deep root system little affected by changes in weather. An additional advantage of a deep-rooted system is that tbe feeder roots have access to a food supply several feet below the surface, thus nol depending entirely on the fertil­ ity of the surface soil. Heavy rains and spring thaw* wash much plant food Into the wbeoll and unless sub­ soil conditions are suitable for root growth this fertility is lost. In this way deep drainage makes soils longer lived by Increasing their depth, and thus bringing a greater supply of food within reach of plant roots. An Eskimo’s Dwelling.

Xs elates Mias Holcomb's disdain had given place to dull wonder. Where had the man got hie misinformation? Could. It be he really thought—but; no. It was imposslbls. She felt as if some­ thing aaffocating was closing about her. She lifted one hand to her throat to force bank the sobs that, would coige.. "I am completely confused by your queetfcna," ehe stammered. "I—I do not know how to answer. What you say is so'ltrange." She looked at ths others w«h a world of appeal In those gray eyes. Astonishment, sympathy, affection, cynicism, mutely replied. Stretching both hands toward Mrs. Mlsaioner, advancing with faltering steps, the victim of the detective's persecution cried: "Mrs- Mlsaioner, Is it possible you can think—do -you ’ even imagine I—J—ob," with a swift turn to Miss March, "Dorothy, Dor­ othy!" • , To the credit of little Miss March be it remembered she met Elinor's second appeal with undiminished tendernees. Mrs. Mlsaioner, too, was kind, but her gentle “No. Elinor," was not as reassuring as tbe loving pats Dorothy squandered on the bent shoul­ ders of the distressed girl. Sands swore in his thoughts. His big fingers bent a gold penholder into wavy lines. Ranscome, with alternate finger-tips, traced lines In his palms. Griswold turned hia cigarette 'round and 'round with agile fingers and thumb. Blodg­ ett's eyes seemed to lunge at the de­ tectives. "1 guess Miss Holcomb isn't ready to tell all she knows—yet," said Don-< nelly meaningly. "While we're wait­ ing for her to steady her nerves, we’ll Just have a look in her room." tlvs tbe suggestion, but a g'ance at Elinor's shaking form stopped her. She did not reply, and tbe detectives walked out of the room in silence. A look from tbe widow sent Blodgett stalking in their wake. The footman kept hts eyes on Donnelly's turnedout toes as if calculating how much strength was required to selie those thick ankles with a sudden heave. No:>. until the central office men were at the end of the passage did the sob­ bing secretary start In great agitation toward the door. On the threshold she paused and turned slowly till she faced the group. "Since they are going to search my —the room." she said. In a choking voice, "I wish you would all coma there with me. I—I feel that—won’t you-all come—please?" The men hung back, but Doris and Dorothy joined her on the instant and together the three women fol­ lowed the detectives into-the lift Blodgett backed from the car and stood staring at the detectives through the roee-tinted grill. A boy In quiet livery threw the lever and the steel cage shot upward. The car stopped at the third floor and the little party proceeded to a room at the end of a softly-lighted corridor. ’ It was a charming little boudoir Into which Donnelly’s spreading feet and Carson’s flat tread carried the de­ tectives. Mrs. Mlsaioner. Elinor and Dorothy went only a little way In and looked on silently. The men made their search according to their natures. Carson with moderate indif­ ference and dispatch, Donnelly ex­ haustively, lingeringly, gloatingly. When the large sleuth's thick fingers end beady gaze became more than ordinary intrusive, Mrs. Mlssloner seemed about to protest, but ee-oh time she checked herself. "It is better to let them search thoroughly." said Elinor. "Since this Is considered necessary. I wish It to be' made complete. Please do not in­ terfere with them." She handed to Carson a small silver keyring. He passed It to his mate, and Donnelly's enjoymen' of the situation increased by leaps and bounds. No single key on the tiny ring escaped use of bis hands. He unlocked boxes, a dreeeing case and other places of possible con­ cealment. His method wou’d have drawn a .derisive smile from Chief of Detectives Manning. Rut Manning was far downtown in Mulberry street, and could not know the .course his subordinates were pursuing. From a drawer tn Elinor’s Chippen­ dale secretary Donnelly tcok a box of rare lacotier and fitted n key to it. He stopped to gaze eenrchingly at Mias Ho'comb for a few minutes, then he unlocked the box. “I hate to pry into any young lady's little keepsakes.” he said in a ponderoualy patronizing manner, "but, as Miss Holcomb hasn't been to MsJden Lane in such a long time, 1 know she won’t object. Now. this little box. of course, contains nothtvg but trinkets or odds and ends—love letters,' may­ be?" Elinor's heart sickened at the leer in hia face. She turned her eyez to Dorothy’s loving little face, and c'ung to the debutante'? hand. Don­ nelly. fumbling with the key for awhile opened'the laoquered box "Just what I said, you see," he ex­ claimed. "Nothing but trinkets and o'her little souveslni—huh!—of old -omanees. perhaps. Eh it’s great to be a summer girl. Miss Holcomb. Tf on’y you* had jewels like Mrs Miaaion•»r*s. you’d shine with the be«t of •hem. Gee but that murt be a besuty, »•»t necklace, if the Iml *!tion is to He stirred tbe contents of the box Idly. Nothing else remained to be searched. He had ransacked the inti-. mate sanctity of the* girl’s room. He felt baffled'and sorely irritated. At the thought of failure, he thrust bis fingers Into, the box with such vio­ lence that everything ft held fell to the floor. Carson stooped to plgk tfp the scattered Jewelry, placing it in Donnelly's bknd to be returned to tbe box. After recovering several bits of Jewelry he laid in his big colleague’s greedy clutch a small, round object wrapped In silk tissue. - “Hello.* what'u this!” exclaimed .Don­ nelly, rolling the fairy parcel between finger end thumb. "You won’t midd if I peep tn tbe paper, young lady? Of course you won’t And this is only Oh, glory!" ” ■ Even Carson was startled into an echoing "Oh."' and ths three women almost screamed. For, nestling tn the folds ot tho tissue, its facets twink­ ling In tho insistent green glow of tho vacuum lights, flashed a diamond—an unmistakable diamond—which Mrs. Mtasioner and Dorothy and Elinor rec­ ognized as ono of tho lessoK gems h'om tho Maharanee necklace—much smaller than the Maharanee diamond, but twice the else of an ordinary stone. And it was a diamond even a novice oould tell was genuine I AU the blood loft Elinor's fase. The muscles of her throat leaped and knot­ ted as U she ware strangling. She swayed for a moment, then took a long stop zoward the detective and stood trembling, covering her face with quivering hands. Donnelly, hold­ ing tho diamond to the light, was about to speak—in what words, what manner, one oan guess. But the mis­ ery In the girl's attitude struck the triumphant grii from his face, and there was momentary compassion in the tone in which ho said: "We'd better go back to the library, I guess. Will you go with my side­ partner. Miss Holcomb?" Carson's advance to the secretary’s side was checked by tho violence with which she whirled toward Mrs. Mlssloner, sgaiq with outstretched bonds. This time the widow was slower tn meeting the appeal. She was stunned by tbe detective's discovery. All the finer sensibilities of her womanhood were benumbed. Astonishment, large and compelling, was all she could feel for the moment Still, she took El­ inor's imploring hands in hers and stood motionless, listening to the girl's passionate entreaty not to be­ lieve the evidence of her eyes, not to believe her kindness could be out raged in such a way. not to believe that Elinor for all the jewels in the mines of the world oould be tempted from the high honor In which she bad been reared. Clasping the younger woman’s locked fingers in her own poft palm, she slipped her arm about Elinor's waist and walked with her to the lift Dorothy, crying almost childishly, controlled her voice once or twice long enough to b/g Elinor not to give way to such torturing emotion. But Elinor Holcomb, shaking. Rob­ bing, wildly beseeching, was oblivious to the allent watchfulness of the cent­ ral office men. the covert glances from Blodgett’s mask-like countenance, the amaxed stare of the liveried youth in In which Sands and Griswold and Ranacome waited, all the way across I A V7 c Examined It as If His Reputation De­ pended on His TesL the old English library to the ruddy zone before the fireplace, she con­ tinued her prayers to Mrs. Mtasioner to hold her guiltless. That was the one thought that shaped her thoughts; •hat the woman to whom she owed the shelter of her Inter youth should not think her capable of such ignob e Ingratitude. There was no s'lghtest -hade of appeal to the detectives, no -egard for the conclusions others in •he-room might draw. Put that Mrs Mivsloner should give credit to the co’d accusation that glittered tn tbe diamond Donnelly had fourd—that p'alnly ’•as the enbearab’e thing in “he wretched young woman's present position. "You won't have to telephone the -h ef Mr. Man." said Donnelly to oardF with as direct a sneer as he thought advisable. "This has been one of our easiest oases." he mi Hcnalre. from his hand and examined It as If hts reputation as an expert depended on his test. Reluctantly, he returned tbg gem to Donnelly and said, gently, with a pitying glance at Elinor: "It is a diamond." A sweeping gesture from Bands as ho sprang to bis feet flung tho tele­ phone from the desk. He reached Donnelly Ir two strides’ and appeared on the point of gripping him by the throat. But tho big detective,, for all hts bulk and mental slowness, could be quick enough on hts ftiet when he must, and he readily sacrificed dignity to safety. With a single backward spring, bo clutched a light chair and confronted Banda. ] “it'll pay ybu to remember I’m an officer!" he shouted. "You ain’t deal­ ing with club atawahde here, Mr. Salida. 1 know you and I know how much you think your money can do. "But you can't put anything like that kcroaa with mo" Sands, breathing hard, took another step toward him. Donnelly gripped tbe chair for a defensive swing. "I don't core If you know a million Mannings," said the sleuth huskily. “If you oari’t behave like one gentle­ man to another, it’ll be tho worse for you. If you don't want to be run in, keep away." Mrs. Mission sr^ annoyance and Dorothy’s fright, no less than Elinors distress, restrained Bands again. "What does all this mean?” be said to Carson, ignoring the other. But Donnelly was not to be ignored. His successful defiance of a millionaire had heightened bls desire tor tbe cen­ ter of tbe stage. "It means," he rasped, ’'that wo know who took Mrs. Miasioner’s dlamoftdz. and that all we've got to do now is to find the rest of ’em. And 1 guess that won't be hard.

The Brownstone House. While Elinor, helpless tn tho reac­ tion from her grjef, was speeding to Mulberry street in a taxicab with Donnelly and Carson, a swart. ,llm man glided out by tho servants' door of the Ml<x.ioner home. His modem garments, Oriental only by faint sug­ gestion in the English looseness of their cut, caught the eye merely by contrast with the snowy tarban that covered hia head. He moved with the cat tread of one long accustomed to walking on hia own soles. Hia shoes were conventional enough in appear­ ance, but of softer leather than that of ordinary American make. It was evident that be relied on the silence of his footgear and, judging from tbe caution with which be let himself out of ’the bouse and looked up and down the street before quitting the thres­ hold, be wished U> get away without trumpeting bls departure. Seeing no one in tbe block, he walked swiftly toward Fifth avenue and turned the earner so eharply that he bowled over a district messenger. A few words in a foreign tongue were his response to the select vernacular tho rising youngster hurled- at him— wards so mysterious that a final "Ah, garni” was the utmost of which tbe astonished boy was capable by way of rpply. To bo flung to the sidewalk by a personage in a British tourist's suit with a headgear out of the Arab­ ian Nights well may be disconcerting, even to No. 47U of the A. D. T. Tho dark man hailed a hansom, muttered "Tbo park" to the driver, and sat well back In the vehicle, closing tho apron doors and lowering tbe upper curtain until be left only a narrow space for observation. In the Interior gloom, laced by chance lances of light from arc lamps, be sprinkled himself freely with many drops from a silver vial that smelled of the East. He readjusted the folds of his turban, bottled bis collar and scarf, and ebook himself more closely into bls clothes, which, despite their loose cut. seem­ ingly were tighter than bo liked. North of the Casino, in the £aat dnve ot Central park, the Hindoo pulled the check strap and gave new directions to the cabman. The han­ som turned out of the j»trk at Soventy. econd street and rolled on rubber tires in an easterly direction, crossing several avenues before It stopped in l root of a brownstone house exactly like several others In the block. The Oriental paid tbe cabman and stood on the sidewalk until the hansom turned the corner. Then he walked east a lew yards, crossed the street, turned west, and darted into tbe ves­ tibule ot a house that was tbe twin of the one at which the cab bad stopped. -He did not ring the bed, but scratched lightly on tbe ground glass pane of tbe inner door. Tbe door swung Inward and be entered a ball lighted only by a glimmer that filtered through the glass from a gas lamp in the street. A voice In the dark asked a question in a language somewhat like that tbe Hindoo bad flung over bis abou.der at tbe messen­ ger boy. Tbe visitor answered with a single word, and a sunburst of light uj>on him from a cluster of incandes­ cent bulbs above his head.

"If there be aught of doubting tn your heart, turn back ere it be too late,” it ^ald. “There Is no repent­ ance this side of the screen. Bewarel Turn back!" But tbe Hindoo, with another deep bow, parted tbe heavy curtains and stepped through tbe opening. Without a tingle I lance at the sumputous Eastern furnishings of the room, be bent bis body forward with touching, outstretched hands until his fingers well-nigh reached tho floor. In that posture he remained until, in tbo tones of the voice that had sounded through the outer darkness, a man sitting cross-legged on a divan at the other end of the room murmured an acknowledgment of tbe salutation. Slowly the visitor straightened ' him­ self and looked at tbe divan, without raising bls eyes to the face of the man upon it “The peace of the Immutable Ono bo upon you,” be said tn his harsher dialect. “Your servant Alt comes to report upon bls mission.” "ftace be to you. faithful one,” an­ swered the other.

Furniss SEVENTH ANNUAL EVENT A COM­ PLETE SUCCESS AND A CRED­ IT TO THE VILLAGE. LARGE CROWDS - FINE WEATHER Excellent Attraction*, Good Sport* and Orderly Crowd* Mark a Brilliant Event la the His­ tory of Nashville. S aturd ay night marked the close of a very strenuous week for a majority of the* citizens of our village, it being the end of the seventh annual Home­ Coming and Ha> vest Festival. Al­ though a pleasure, it incurs no little trouble and expense to show true Nashville hospitality to the hundreds of former residents, who make this an­ nual event an occasion to visit rela­ tives and renew old acquaintances. This year the extra diligence of the various committees and our home merchants helped make the affair a grand success, and words of praise were heard from all sides. The crowds in attendance were treated to an enter> tamment seldom if ever presented in a village the size of Nashville. Good clean sports, high class vaudeville specialties, two fast ball games, bal­ loon ascensions, etc., made the two days pleasant and enjoyable for everyone. The civic parade, an im­ portant feature of the Festival, was better this year than usual, a large number of the business men being represented with floats and banners. Music was furnished by the Nashville1 Cornet band and a martial band. ceeded to Riverside park, which was packed with spectators, and, marching to the center of the field, went through maneuvers and difficult evolutions, with a precision almost incredible. Their sword drill, as perrect as clock­ work, evoked rounds of applause. It is needless to say that the spectators were bigixly pleased, and Capt. Fowler’s many Nashville friends heartily appreciate the favor con­ ferred by him and the members of his team, Owin? to difficulties in getting ready, the balloon ascension, scheduled for five o’clock, was about an hour late. It was a pretty ascension, the big gas-bag going nearly straight up. The parachute opened perfectly and the aeronaut alighted not far from Main street. . After the vaudeville show, which took place at 7:30, the people, who still. thronged the streets, amused themselves at the merry-go-round, tent shows, moving picture-snow, and the dance at the Auditorium. FRIDAY. Friday opened with the weather man in a most gracious mood. Light show­ ers during the night had cooled the air, and the Crowd promised to be a record breaker. Feighner’s martial band soon made things lively and by nine o'clock everyone was ready for the day’s program. It opened with a concert by the Nashville band.

MADE Association Spends All Profits Toward Improving the Grounds and Buildings. Sept. 11 to 15. That’s the big week. That's the week of the West Michi­ gan State Fair at Grand Rapids when all western Michigan pours forth con­ verging at the fair grounds to see the prixe horses, sheep, cows, chickens, pumpkins and everything else, the races, the side shows, the aeroplane and all the big features which have become fixtures in the affairs of the state and In the lives of Its people. That Is the week long waited lor— the week when "I’ll see you at the falr“ is the parting wprd of friends and neighbors and when that word Is realized the following day. This year the fair will be bigger and better than ever before. It has long held its place at the head of the Use of similar expositions throughout the country, but thb effort of ths of­ ficer* has always been to make this year's exhibition just a little better than that of last year. The West Michigan State Fair Is a public and educational Institution conducted by patriotic citizens of Western Michigan for the benefit of the people of the whole slate and par­ ticularly for the agricultural and hor­ ticultural interests of the western side of the state. Every effort is made to attract these interests to the fair grounds, to secure exhibits of everything of an agricultural and horticultural charac­ ter for which liberal premiums are offered and place before the general masses in an instructive way, things which will serve to educate them. Not s Money-Making Venture. The fair is not a private enterprise in any sense of the word. None of the officers or superintendents except the secretary receives a penny of sal­ ary. All the profits have been turned ■ in toward improvements to the grounds and buildings and this policy will be continued as long as the pres­ ent organization exist*. The moral tone of the fair ba* al­ ways been of the highest standard. For four years no liquor of any sort has been sold upon the grounds and none will be permitted this year. No disorder has ever been tolerated and [ never will be. It is a place to which t a man may bring his wife, his boy and | bls fclrl and rest assured they will see; nothing and bear nothing on the fair grounds which will In any way cause| regret that they were brought along. The alm of the management ba* been and is. that the fair ground* shall be a place where the people of western Michigan may come, have a good time, learn something of value, spread a , luncheon on the grass If desired, and , enjoy one big family picnic. The dates of the rate this year do I not conflict'with those of the Indian* j State Fair, as was the case a year ago. For tills revson the management has every reason to expect larger exhfbits of cattle, sheep ap ’ swine from Ohio and Indiana than ever before. In fact, assurances have already come i ’ that some big exhibitors who were , not here last year will be on the i ground* this year. Washington.

IMPROVEMENTS RIVALRY-’ESPECIALLY The good farmer's wife will have a chance to show her skill at the West Michigan State Fair, Grand Rapids, •September 11 to 15. In the depart­ ment of dairy products, especial in­ ducements have been held out to her to exhibit ber butter, cheese, bread and all sort* of cookery. This is one of the most Interesting features of the fair. Here the good wife places the product of her skill alongside that of the farmer’* wife from other sections of the state and aside from the personal gratification of winning a premium and seeing her good work appreciated, she has an op­ portunity to bring to her vicinity the claim of having outcooked or outchurned the wife from some other sec­ tion. The contests in this department are always spirited and this year will be more so than ever. FOR That’s what we did in July. Every­ body was too busy to think of buying or selling anything, and we had to stand for it But now that the hardest part of the rush of farm work is over, we are ready to talk things over with you and to sell you that piece of property you have been think­ ing about so long. We want to do a GOOD BUSINESS in August, and we. are willing to work our heads off to do it. We want to take you out for a nice auto ride and show you some of the best bargains you ever saw in farms.

Atwood “Glad He’s Herw.” “Glad to be here,” Atwood said, “and I had a fine trip. Not a mishap of any kind. Tbe machine came through without even - a tap of a monkey wrench. Stopped once for gasoline and cylinder oil at Pontiac, and at Springfield, for dinner. It was a great day for flying. ”1 started from Bl Louis at 8:30 this morning, and I’ve flown more than 300 miles, for I circled about over St. Louis for a while before starting on the trip. I followed the river to Alton, and then located and kept over the Chicago &. Alton’s right of way. Everything went beau­ tifully—my motor worked like a charm, the wind was fine, and I felt bully. I flew at an altitude of, about 500 feet. Crowds at Towns En Route. "There Is some enthusiasm in Illi­ nois over aeroplanes. At every cross­ roads there were vast crowds, and in every town there seemed to be thousands waiting to see me pass. They all shouted encouragement to me as I passed over. I'll never for­ get those shouting crowds of people. "I was to have landed in the state fair grounds at Springfield, but when I got a look at the landing place I didn’t want to take a chance. It looked too small and I thought I wouldn’t risk an accident to my ma­ chine. So I dropped outside of town. It whs just 10:30 when I landed there.” Atwood said he would follow the tracks of the Lake Shore railroad on his eastern flight from Chicago. . Homeopathic physicians are in de­ mand.

Eruptions of the skin and catarrh of the mucous membranes show* diminished nerve power in the tissues. In health or disease there is need of an internal bath. This Is best ob­ tained by drinking a glass >of pure water with one or two teaspoonfuls of SAN-JAK thirty to sixty minute* be­ fore breakfast, washing the blood. This passes quickly from the stomach and stimulates the bowels to Increased peristalsis, overcoming constipation and Its attendant lllr. It is quickly absorbed and entering the blood stream bu.hes the ceils of the liver and heart, then passes to the brain and washes out the cobwebs and awakens to new life every’ cell In the body. SAN-JAK dilutes the ropy secre­ tions and dissolves all abnormal crystallne substances that may be In the blood and urine. SAN-JAK greatly promotes elimination, creates down­ ward peristalsis, stimulates a flow of digestive juices, x It dissolves tbe sticky mucous In the mouth and. throat, allowing the membranes to be bathed In their natural secretions. San-Jak is the gre_; medium of ex­ change In the body, by enabling the kidneys to absorb and eliminate alka­ line sulphates which are the products of Intestinal decomposition and In renal weakness or the real cause of Bright's disease.

BAN-JAK Is the only medicine which will enable you to keep a per­ fect balance between the elimination and renewal of the body. Decay of the body at any time of life Is un­ natural. Permanent waste of the system can be avoided by the use of BAN-JAK. Rheumatism, catarrh and bladder trouble, the source of trouble to hu­ manity, is due to a too high or low specific gravity which may be regu­ lated to normal by taking San-Jak. For Sale by Von W.

Then he walked softly to a door at one side of the room, and opening it a little way, called softly: “Kananda." t A man of mature years came in quietly and looked inquiringly at the Swami. He was of portly build, but bis vigor still showed traces of the ath­ letic training he had followed in Eng­ lish schools'and colleges. His West­ ern manner and excellent English were nbt tn surprising contrast to hl* Indian swarthiness among those who remembered the vogue a British edu­ cation had among India’s petty princes in the .reign of Victoria, Queen and Empress. Prines Kananda had been one of the beat batsmen on the Cam­ bridge eleven His popularity among the democratic young aristocrats of the period bad sprung from the day when he remarked it was not his fault his father was a Maharajah, and that it shouldn’t be treasured against him, even though be couldn't live it down. Nandy, as they called him on the banks of the Cans, • was voted a good sort The classification bad stuck to him wherever men foregathered, from the Strangers' Club of the Straits Settlement to White’s and the Union League. “What’s the row, your reverence7“ he asked. On the surface, he took the faith of his fathers lightly. Ori­ ental though bo was in the marrow. "The Maharanee has disappeared,” said the Swami. “Whee-ee!” returned Kananda. “If that blessed stone isn’t the Wander­ ing Jew of jewels! How long has it been missing this time?” "Nobody knows, unless it be its present possessor. Moreover, prince you are, ruler you may be but I can­ not overlook your levity Ln connection with ao sacred a gem. Besides, my friend, remember the brethren." Nandy’s face became serious imme­ diately. “I wasn’t exactly poking fun at the Maharanee," he apologized, “and they who suffer are never long absent from my thought*.

"We should not copy the barbarisms of the Occi­ dent.’' Nandy’s eyes twinkled as the humor of such an observation in the heart of Manhattan flashed upon him. In a ever. He swung hiqiself to a table, lightly for one of his bulk, and sat kicking his heels as he awaited the Hindoo p ieat’s narrative. “There’s little to tell,” the Swami went on, himself dropping into the easier speech of the West aa bls com­ panion stopped smiling. “The great diamond is gene and All has no idea of its whereabouts. Night and day on the watch in the woman's home, be has nothing to tell further than that the Jewel has disappeared and an arrest has been made." “So they've caught the thief?" "Perhaps. The bunglers of this un­ couth country may have stumbled upon her by chance. She’s in custody, anyway.” Nandy slid from the table and balarwed himself on his toes. *A woman, eh? Good-looking?" Not without influence on his Ideals had he taken a post-graduate course among London's Gaiety girls. He was a connoisseur in the femininity of the “ ’ails." Serious women bored him. But surely a young person clever enough to get away with a diamond the size of the Maharanee couldn't be stupid? “Mrs. Missloner's secretary,” the Swami told him. “A close friend of Kannnda'a whistle wa* expressive, “la there evidence to convict?" he ■eked interestedly.

He displayed a gold watch hs if it held all the tri­ umph of his years of pursuit in the underworld. “But we found the goods on her,” he added smilingly. Her career was part of the ele­ mental knowledge Of the assembled detectives and the Chief dismissed her quickly. “The chancen are she’ll do a long stretch this trip," he commented. Every condition of moral obliquity was represented in that shifting line of prisoners. There were youths, still fn the formative period of their crim­ inal careers, vying with the old-timers Ln the forced bravado of their de­ meanors. Others there were, shame­ faced and sad, overcome with remoqse and praying silently for the termina­ tion of the painful spectacle. Still others, old men and young men, re­ garding the proceedings with the in­ difference of disinterested spectators. And there were women, too, from the bedizened "badger queen,” her hair and complexion as false as the jewels shimmering from her fingers and throat, to the tremulous, weeping res­ taurant cashier accused of some petty defalcation. They represented types as varied as the emotions struggling within them, but as they stood side by side facing the expressionless masks, they seemed headed toward the same ultimate destiny. One after another they stepped forward for In­ spection until the line was exhausted. When the last of them had filed out of the room, the detectives did not re­ move their masks, as was the custom. Instead, thqy rood about in a high fever of expectancy. Quizzical glances were cast in the direction of the door leading to the calls. Suddenly tbe men bulked forward, as if inspired by a common Impulse of curiosity. The swish of skirts, accompanied by the tread of masculine feet, sounded in the doorway. A woman’s form, her head bent to her breast, her limbs un­ able to bear the weight of her frail body, was being half dragged, half carried into the i-oom. All the life seemed to have drained out of ber Her hair hung disordered over her sboulddH, her hands swung limply, like loose pendulums. "Elfnor Holcomb!" cried the lleutananL Donnelly and Carson, each with an arm under her shoulder, propped her sinking form. “Lift your head,” commanded the Chief. Tho order fell on deaf ears. She seemed as one in the last agony of a mortal illness. “Lift it tor her," came in a voice of mingled sternness and compassion. Donnelly’s hand flew to her chin, tilting her face upward. For an in­ stant she raised ber heavy eyelids; then recoiled as from a blow. The crowd of masked spectators floated before her eyee like hideous specters of a horrid dream. A tow groan, like the last lament of a tortured soul, came from her lips. She seemed turn­ ed into a mass of jelly. "Take her away," commanded the Chief, and the two detectives carried “Accused of stealing the Mlssloner diamonds." was the curt explanation of her presence. In a harsh mono­ tone. the Chief read the various Head­ quarters orders to the force, and then the men not engaged on'old work re­ ceived their assignments of new cases. As abruptly as be had entered, the head of the Bureau left tbe room and retired to his private office. Then he summoned Donnelly and Carson. "Takes It pretty bad, eh?" he asked. “Like all the swell ones when they’re nabbed the first time,” an­ swered Carson. * "Had to call the doctor twice dur­ ing the night, the matron tells me," informed Donnelly. “Did she make any statement on the way to Headquarters?" inquired the Chief. "Nothing but hysterica," Carson an­ swered. “And she's In no condition to be questioned now," added Donnelly. “Anyone been inquiring tor her?" the Chief suddenly snapped. “Yea." flashed back Donnelly.

She gave a startled gasp when she saw them, a convulsive shudder racked her frame. A sudden influx of painful memories overwhelm­ ed her with a pitiful sense of helpless­ ness as she dragged herself to the oftice of the Chief. With a weak show of courage, *be eyed Manning resolutely, and then sank into a soft leather chair close to his desk.

BECAUSE, your money Is safer in the bank than anywnere else. 2 BECAUSE, a bank-accouut teaches, helpsand encourages you to save, so as to increase your balance. BECAUSE, paying bills by check is the simplest and most conven­ ient method, as well as the safest, as your check be­ comes a receipt for the debt it pays. BECAUSE, it give* you a better standing in the community, es­ pecially among the business men, to pay by check rath­ er than in cash; to be known as "having money in the bank," stengthens one’s credit. 5 BECAUSE, your returned, cancelled checks, with property • kept stubs, and the pass-book furnished by the bank, make a very complete and clear record of business transacted, and is kept with less work than any ether record could be.' • ■ 6 BECAUSE, by having a bank account and issuing and making de­ posits, you are, unaware to yourself, gradually building up the most valuable asset a man can have, namely: a good credit at home, and through our recommendation this credit will be extended to others away from home, with whom you might seek for accommodations. 7 BECAUSE, by having an account with the bank, the bank knows you and when you have a check or draft on an out-of­ town bank to cash, it will be readily done for you, and also free of any charges.. 8 BECAUSE, some day you might need to borrow; the customer re­ ceives not only the accomodation, but the preference of rates and amount, while the non-customcr, may In times of stringency, meet with a refusal. Now look at the subject from as many sides and as long as you will, the • opening %f * bank account is desirable and advan­ tageous. and we tender you our services and facilities.

The Michigan state legislature en­ acted several new amendments to the school laws. One provides that no district shall receive more primary money until the amount of sucn money on hand is reduced so that it shall provide for teachers’ wages for only two years In advance. The money goes into the other districts having a smaller surplus or none. The new primary fund law amend­ ment goes into effect in 1912. The usual apportionments for this year are made in May and November as usual, but in 1912, and thereafter, there will be one apportionment for the entire year, made from July 5 to 15. All the money can be collected for the whole year before the school opens. Some of the other laws are as follows: The school census for 1912 will be taken twenty days before June 1, not tbe first Monday in June as is in vogue at the present time. The school commissioner shall appoint the county truant officer instead of the sheriff. This officer has much power in looking after school buildings. The commissioner has the autbority tb appoint a clerk with a salary of not more than 8300 per year where there are more than 100 schools ih the county. On Columbus day, Lincoln’s and Washington's birthdays, school shall be kept and patriotic exercises held. None of them shall be holidays. Another schbol law that must be heeded reads: “Previous to the first Monday in August in each year the board of education or the board of trustees, as the case may be, of each graded school district in this state shall cause to be published in a news­ paper in said district or in such coun­ ty in which district is located, such newspaper to be designated by board of education, a complete statement of the proceedings of the annual school meeting and an itemized financial statement of the receipts and .expendi­ tures of said district during the pre­ ceding school year, the expense of said publication to be paid out of the general fund of the district.” . NORRIS REUNION. The third annual reunion of the descendants of James and.Elmaette Norris was held at tbe pleasant farm home of Mr. and Mrs. Burt Decker in Vermontville township August 17, instead of at Casnovia as decided at the last meeting. Tbe attendance was not as large as usual, but 37 gathered Rt an early hour. The day was pleas­ ant anda goodtime wasenjoyed by all. At noon the company was seated on the lawn in the shade of some large maple trees, and a fine picnic dinner was served. After dinner the meeting was called to order by the president. The minutes of the last meeting were read and approved. The president gave a short talk on the good reasons why family reunions should. be held arid called the roll. L. A.Hyde, Wm. Caster, Oscar Renlgar and Frank Olmstead responded with a few words of approval, the rest of the men being unable to express their ideas. Nearly all of the ladies responded with a few worth as their names were called. There had been no program pre­ pared, but Miss Maggie Hyde gave, in a very pleasing manner, JImmyg But­ ler’s story of himself and the’ owl. Letters of regret from several were read. Mrs. Leon Norris has been called to her eternal reward. The following officers were elected: pres­ ident, Albert Norris; Vice President, L. A. Hyde: Secretary and Treasurer, Ola Norris; Committee on Refresh­ ments, Mrs. Edith Caster. Mrs. Lena Decker and Mrs. Martha Hyde. Tbe next meeting will be held at Thornapple lake, the second Thursday in June ,1912. A vote of thanks was given Mr. and Mrs. Decker for their kind hospitality in entertaining the 1911 reunion. As the sun began to lower in the west all left for their homes, trusting to theali wise Creator to permit them to meet again next HARVEST FESTIVAL MEETING. The public meeting called for Mon­ day evening at the clnb rooms was at­ tended by a fair representation of those interested in the Harvest Festi­ val. The committees had all handed their reports to Secretary Smith, who read his repprt, showing receipts and expenditures, the checks being item­ ized. The reports, show totals as follows: Cash on band from 1910........ 8 19 09 Received from subscriptions. 335 00 Received from privileges.... 140 80 Total..8524 89 Orders drawn.......................... 477 67 balance on hand....................... 8 45 42 The mutter of holding another festi­ val and home-coming in 1912 was dis­ cussed and it was decided by practic­ ally unanimous vote to have one, abd the dates were set for August 15-16. The election of officers resulted in the re-election of the present officers, as follows: E. V. Barker, president. W. A. Quick, vice president. E. V. Smith, secretary. Noah Wenger, treasurer.

The annual meeting of the Michigan State Good Roads Association will be held at the city of Lansing August 31 and September 1,1911. The meet­ ing will be held in Representative Hall.

H’s deputies have consented to give practical demonstration in the building of the various clanes of roads specified in the statute, and also the proper method of maintain­ ing our public highways. The Auto­ mobile Club has promised to place one hundred machines at the disposal of visitors and representatives. The Citizens Committee of Lansing are enthusiastic over this meeting, and have promised a program of enter­ tainment, musical and otherwise, un­ excelled. Important committees have already been appointed to submit a new-set of -by-laws and constitution, as well as a committee on incorpora­ tion. The live question! relating to good roads will be discussed. Every city and village in the state will be asked through its mayors and coun­ cils to send representatives, and it is expected more than one thousand en­ thusiastic good roads men will be present. ~ , DARLING.

TAR AND FEATHERS. Did you ever hear of a chicken get­ ting a coal of tar and feathers? Well, that is just what happened at Dale Na vue’s, south of town, one day last week. One of his spring pullets espied a pail in the back yard, containing, as it supposed, some new-fangled poultry food, and, displaying the usual female curiosity, jumped in, feet first. When discoved it bad sunk nearly out of sight in the viscous liquid and was with difficulty extract­ ed. Now it wabbles around in a dis­ gusted manner, picking up chips and rubbish in a way that would put a modern civic improvement society to shame. EATON COUNTY FAIR. Patrons of the Eaton county fair will be pleasant!;, surprised al the change in the appearance of the K:>unds this fall.

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED by local application, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of tbe ear. There is only one way to cure deaf­ ness and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by un inflamed condition of the mucous lin­ ing of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have a -rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, deaf­ ness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condi­ tion, hearing will be destroyed for­ ever: nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces.

Every effort has been made to attract the finest herds in the country with special reference to those of Michigan and to give opportunity to. everybody. to learn something about the animals, their points of beauty and perfection and how these points were produced. The management of the fair has es­ tablished in the department of cattle a fine show ring with seats in the form of an amphitheater around ft, where spectators may sit in safety while the high blooded stock is brought out and passed under th* bauds and eyes of the most competent judges to be found. It has been customary for one of the experts to give a little lecture on the stock as it comes rffong. telling of its points of perfection and llkewie* its faults and bow to remedy them. This has proven mwt instructive to farmers and cattle raisers and a gen­ eral Improvement in the cattle of western Michigan may be traceable to some considerable extent to this fea­ ture of the West Michigan Bute Fair. The same practice has been followed with reference to the sheep and swine and In all departments the fair offi­ cials have reserved the right to debar from the grounds any stock which is not up to the highest standard and therefore give to the people only the best that is raised. It was at this fair the first herd of Brown Swiss cattle was shown in Michigan. That attracted much atten­ tion and now there are a large num ber of herds in Jbe state and each year several are entered in the classes offered for them. The superintendents of the live stock departments are:' W. F. Raven, East Lansing, cattle; C. A. Bloomer, Grand Rapids, sheep, and C. C. Hallenbeck, Vermontville, swine.

Mr. Perkins’ great-grandfather fought in tbe Rev­ olutionary war, and after the war he settled in Coos county, New Hamp­ shire. Later, representatives of the family moved westward into New York, Ohio and Michigan. Miles Perkins located in Kalamazoo county and it was there that Harford was born in 1839. Early in tbe ’60's he married Cyn­ thia Wolever and the two moved to Castleton township, where they clear­ ed the virgin forest, and through years of toil they developed a splendid farm. The mother and four children, three sons and a daughter, survive the fath­ er. Through his honest life and kind heartedness, Mr. Perkins won the es­ teem and confidence of all who knew him, and his many good deeds will serve as an everlasting memorial of his benevolent character.

BECAUSE, a bank-account teaches, helps and encourages you to save, so as to increase your balance. BECAUSE, paying bills by check is the simplest and most conven­ ient method, as well as the safest, as your check be­ comes a receipt for the debt It pays. BECAUSE, it gives you a -better standing in the community, es­ pecially among the business men, to pay by check rath­ er than in cash; to be known as “having money in the bank,’’ stengthens one's credit. BECAUSE, your returned, cancelled checks, with property kept stubs, and the pass-book furnished by the bank, make . a very complete and clear record of business transacted. and is kept with less work than any other record could be. BECAUSE, by having a bank account and issuing and making de­ posits, you arc, unaware to yourself, gradually building up the most valuable asset a nun can have, namely: a good credit at home, and through our recommendation this credit will be extended to others away from home, with whom you might seek for accommodations. BECAUSE, by having an account with the bank, the bank knows you and when you have a check or draft on an out-of­ town bank to cash, it will be readily done for you, and also free of any charges. BECAUSE, some day you might need to borrow; the customer re­ ceives not.only the accomodation, but the preference of rates and amount, while the non-customer, may in times of stringency, meet with a refusal. Now look at the subject from as many sides and as long as you will, the opening of a bank account Is desirable and advan­ tageous, and we tSider you our services and facilities. SCHOOL PICNIC AND REUNION. The reunion of the teachers and scholars of the Old Brick school of Castleton and Woodland, held in llie pleasant grove of Frank Furlong August 23, proved to bo a very pleas­ ant as well as profitable affair. At an early hour of theday people began to assemble and by noon had gathered to the number of sixty, coming from Charlotte, Nashville, Sunfield, Kalamo, Woodland and Castleton. After doing ample justice* to a sumptuous repast, we were called to order by our president, Mrs. Libbie Fender of Sun- NOTICE. Parents:—The Nashville public schools will open for classification Tuesday September 4. It is desired that all who expect to attend will be present at 8:45 o’clock on that day. It will be necessary that thote entering the sub-primary department this year begin this fall as there will be no other beginning class organized during the year. Only those five years of age or over before October 1 can be enrolled. The school age is 5 years, but the concession to October 1 is made that those lacking two or three weeks may enter the first day and get the ad­ vantage of all the'.work. We wish your co-operation in making the year a success. Please take an interest in the school; if your boy or girl does not make the progress you desire call and discuss the matter with the teacher in charge. They are interested in your child and wish to have him make the most of his opportunities. It is desirable that all differences are settled as soon as they occur, so do not postpone the conference until the close of the year.. Chas. Appleton, Superintendent.

The celebration was a success in every­ way, and while the crowd on Thurs­ day was light on account of the un­ pleasant weather, that of Friday, which was a perfect day, made up for It. The sports and attractions were good, and there was something doing all the time. The balloonist disap­ pointed them on the first day, but one was secured from Lansing for the second day and made a fine ascen­ sion. The local ball team had on its fighting togs, losing to Bellevue the first day, but winning both games from the Bradley Indians the second day. ______ ______ 40560%^^^ SAVED Our line of new and IU second-hand school I U u m . books consists of all! books used in Nashville and vicinity.

An old lady from Battle Creek, travelling to Middleville to visit frien.ds, lost her pocketbook contain<ng about MO in money and a gold ratch last Friday. She thought it hud been stolen from her on the train and told the conductor that she thought a boy who rode in the seat with her and who left the train here had taken it. Later in the day the purse was handed to a brakeman on one of the trains by a lady who said she had found it on one of the seats in the Charlotte station. It was re­ turned to its rightful owner, who is several dollars ahead by reason of a collection which the passengers on the train took up for her after she dis­ covered her loss.

Joseph Hickey and Loyal Hammond had a narrow escape from death in a gravel pit east of Vermontville Monday morning. They were filling wagons at the pit for road work, when the bank caved and caught them. Luckily, while all were caught in the cave-in, their heads were not covered and they were dug ont alive, but all were badly injurea and it is thought that some of the injuries, which were mostly of an internal nature, may prove serious. Vissell's head was thrown against a wagon wheel with such force that a spoke was broken out of the wheel. His jaw was broken and his left arm fractured, as well as his collar-bone. Hickey’s left leg was broken. SCHOOL' SUPPLIES Perhaps you haven’t given the purchase of school books and supplies much consideration, but you should, not alone with the idea of what you can save in money, but think of the long days the little ones must spend using them, and how much satisfaction they may get if every article is to their liking. We try to study their likes and dislikes and are in a position to suit all at the lowest cost. CALL AND SEE US. Von W. Furniss LOCAL NEWS. Ice cold toft drinks at the bakery. Wm.

Drive around through the country and see the homes ofprosperous farmers and you can not help but envy them. Where you find one who is not prosperous you won’t have to look far for the reason. Size up the number of men in Nashville who have amassed a competence on the farm and have now moved into town to enjoy themselves and take life easy. Near­ ly every one of them started out in life with practically no capital, but a few years of successful farming have put them on “‘Easy Street.” It is the surest "sure thing” there is.

The bell has been in ' its new location for several months, but the tower still impedes traffic on Maple street and is most decidedly not an ornament to that thoroughfare. Per­ haps the authorities don’t know just what to do with it if they should-take it down. It would make a dandy windmill tower for some farmer. Why not have Home Downing sell It a1 auction some Saturday? . The appointment of a dog warden and the picking np of a few stray curs has done a lot of good, and the cus­ tomary assemblage of a dozen or more mangy canines on Main and other streets at almost any old time during the day and evening has be­ come a thing of the past. We notice that they are commencing to appear again, however, and we hope that the dog warden is not going to become remiss in his attention to duty. A spasmodic effort for a week or two to keep the streets free from dogs, while it helps, don’t do any real good. Tfie movement should be kept up, until the town .is reasonably free from worth­ less dogs. Of course, this don’t refer to good dogs, like yours, but only to those roaming, tramp dogs that-ap­ parently belong to nobody, but live all over the town, tearing up every, body’s garden, tipping over garbage cans, etc. That is the dog we are all after. The fire department should get out two or three times before winter sets in and get actual practice work in the matter of laying fire lines, making and breaking couplings, replacing sections of hose, etc. There are a few members of the department who have not bad actual service and who would not know just what to do in an emer­ gency. Quick, active, accurate ____ _____ ' especially one means much ~ ata ’ ’ “fire, “ which gets a good start during a and the deft windy winter’s night, _ handling of the apparatus can only be accomplished by those who have had sufficient experience to know just exactly what to do at just exactly the right moment. It is getting short evenings now and the boys may not get a chance to get out for practice. In that case, the village might better pay each man for a half-day’s work and have them put in one entire after­ noon at thorough practice. The re­ sult would pay the expense at one winter fire. There should be tests made of the drinking water from several wells in different parts of town, in order to ascertain if the water we are drinking is fit to drink. Nearly all of Nash­ ville’s drinking water comes from shallow wells, which are admittedly always a dangeYous source of water supply for drinking purposes. -We have never had an epidemic of typhoid fever, but there have been several cases each year for several years past, and while they may not have been caused by impure water, that is usually the most prolific cause of the dreaded disease. It if cheaper and better to lock the stable door before the horse is stolen, and Fike thinks right now is a good time to lock the door. What do you think about it, Mr. Health Officer? DAYTON CORNERS.

Many Nashville people have chronic appendicitis which is carelessly treat­ ed as if it' were ordinary bowel or stomach trouble. If you have wind or gas in the stomach or bowels, sour stomach or constipation, try simple buckthorn bark, glycerine, etc., as compounded in Adler-i-ka, tbe new German appendicitis remedy. Von W. Furniss, druggist, states that a single dose of this simple remedy will relieve any bowel or stomach trouble. NORTHEAST ASSYRIA.

' 1 have been in the tailoring business for nearly twenty-five years, have al­ ways made clothes, and know, or ought to know, something about cloth and clothing. I handle Capp’s all­ wool, ready made clothing, which needs not one word of praise from me, as my hundreds of satisfied customers are a living, talking testimony of its worth. I also handle the American Specialty Co.’s tailoring line of made to order clothing at prices from 113.50 to <27.50 per suit or overcoat, and this is one point in particular that I wish to speak about. Tbe agents for these tailoring houses generally charge for ibeir suits from 816 to MO, but I am going to make a special fea­ ture of that class of work this fall and am going to start these suits and over­ coats at 113.50 and stop at *27.50, which will make a saving to you of from *2.50 to *12.50 on a suit or over­ coat. Now don’t take my word for this; I want you to look at every other man's line and get his best prices; then compare them with mine, and if you can't save money by buy­ ing of me I don't want your trade. Now isn’t that a fair proposition? Could any man say more? John S. Greene, tbe all-wool man. The farmer needs a plow that will do good work: a plow that is easy to operate; a plow that is durable. With the above in mind, the Calc Foot Lift Sulky plow is offered as being able to meet the above requirements. We have yet to find a single farmer in this vicinity that is not pleased with this plow. If you happen to know a fanner who is not pleased with this Gale Foot Lift Sulky. Plow or Sure Drop Corn Planter, we shall esteem it a personal favor if you will so inform us.

EIGHT REASONS WHY YOU SHOULD CARRY AN ACCOUNT WITH THE FARMERS & MERCHANTS BANK. 1 BECAUSE, your money Is safer in the bank than anywhere else. 2* BECAUSE, a bank-accouut teaches, helps and encourages you to save, so as to increase your balance. 3 BECAUSE, paying bills by check is the simplest and most conven­ tent method, as well as the safest, as your check be­ comes a receipt fur the debt it pays. BECAUSE, It gives you a better standing in the community, es­ pecially among the business men, to pay by check rath­ er than In cash: to be known as “having money in the bank,” lengthens one's credit 5 BECAUSE, your returned, cancelled checks, with properly kept stubs, and the pass-book furnished by the bank, make a very complete and dear record of business transacted,' and is kept with less work than any other record could be. . * 6 BECAUSE, by having a bank account and issuing and making de­ posits, you are, unaware to yourself, gradually building up the most valuable asset a man can have, namely: a good credit at home, and through our recommendation this credit win be extended to others away from home, with whom you might seek for accommodations. BECAUSE, by having an account with the bank, the bank knows you and when you have a check or draft on an out-of­ . town bank to cash, it will be readily done for you, and also free of any charges. 8 BECAUSE, some day you might need totbonrow; the customer re­ ceives not only the accomodation, but the preference of rates and amount, while the non-customer, may in times of stringency, meet with a refusal. Now look at the subject from as many sides and as long as you will, the opening of a bank account is desirable and advan■. tageous, and >e tender you our sen-ices and facilities.

H. E. DOWNING, Auctioneer. JOHN MILLER, Proprietor �============== t r osperity and contentment should be the net results of every man's labor. The man who works hard during the active years of his life should have something substantial to show for it, and should have enough of this world’s goods accumulated to render his declining years peaceful and happy. What are your prospects? Are you accumulating what you should? Or are you living from hand to mouth from year to year because you are afraid to make a start for yourself? Open your eyes and look around you. See the farmers on every hand who are living on the top shelf, bams full, granaries full, cellar full, pantry full, and a substantial balance in the bank. Good old mother earth smiles at being tickled with plow and harrow and yields a competence and a surplus every year. What’s the answer? Here are plenty of good farms, in acreage to suit, as good farms as there are in Michigan, offered to you at prices easily within your reach, and many of them we can sell on very easy terms, so that you don’t have to have much money to start with. We have farms listed at $40 to $100 per acre. Now is the time to buy. Barry and Eaton county farm lands are sure to go higher in price in the near future, because they are lower in price than they ought to be and much lower than in other sections of the state. Ij you buy now you will reap the benefit of the advance in price which is bound to come. We want you to look this list over carejuUy and then come and see us. Tell us just what you would like and just how you are fixed and see how easily we can start you on the right road to prosperity. You are taking no chances when you buy a farm, and you know it. Why delay? Get yoursjunv, while the prices are low. A jew years will demonstrate the wisdom of pur advice. As an evidence that prices are constantly advancing, ij you will examine the records in the office of the Register oj Deeds oj Barry county you will find that over 98 jb of the farms which have changed more than once in the past five years show a substantial advance in price. ■ That tells the story plainer than we can tell it. Money talks louder than words, and in more satisfactory language. See any man who has bought a farm in this vicinity in the past five years and try to buy it for the same price he paid jar it. Not much! • If he will sell at all, he wants $10to $25 per acre advance. Think it over with your Hum thinking machine; then'act. .

ONLY PLAY FOR AMERICAN Iowan Wino (tout in Two Straight Fall* la 19 Minutes and M'/i Sec­ ond* Before 35,000 Spectators— Defeated Man Had No Chance. Chicago, Se'i>t. 5.—Before a.crowd of 15.000 people, the largest throng that ever witnessed a wrestling match, Frank Gotch of Iowa successfully re­ tained his title to world's champion-, ship against George Hackenschmidt, the Rusaicn Lion, whose snowing dur­ ing the two falls indicated that he had been a much overestimated wrestler. Gotch won the first fall in 14 min­ utes and 18 seconds with an inside leg hold and chancery, which Is the new hold Gotch developed for the match. The Iowan won the second fall in 5 minutes and 32 1-5 seconds with a toe hold, switched into a crotch and half nelson. Hack Never Had a Chance. Gotch proved his superiority in the most marked manner. He was the aggressor throughout and the Russian never had a chance. There was little rough work, that which was done be­ ing by Hack himself. • The bout simply demonstrated that Hack lacked the heart to stand up to Gotch's punishment How Gotch Won. The match by five-minute rounds— Round 1—They came to the center of the ring, and Hackenschmidt se­ cured a wrist hold. They bulled and feinted for bolds, apparently feeling each other out Gotch pulled his op­ ponent around and leaned his weight on the Russian. Hack started a little roughing, but Gotch responded in kind. Gotch again pulled Hack toward him and danced around him. Round 2—Gotch’s Ups. moved as if he were talking to his opponent They continued bulling and Gotch feinted for a leg hold. In the bulling Gotch leaned his weight on the Rus­ sian. Gotch speeded up a little as the bout proceeded and although Hack feinted for holds, he did not come near the Iowan. Gotch feinted first at Hack's right and then left leg. and Hack tried for a double leg hold. Gotch secured a leg hold, throwing Hack to the canvas. Gotch was be­ hind his man In spven minutes. Gotch feinted for a further arm and crotch bold. Gotch secured a slight toe hold, but Hack broke It before the Iowan Could apply leverage. Hack broke a protch hold and came to his feet Round 3—Gotch secured a leg hold, .throwing Hack heavily to the canvas. Hack was on his feet and secured a body hold on Gotch, but the American pqulrmed away from it and was on FN feet almost instantly. Gotch pmlled at the crowd as if this was his *up ender” hold. Gotch brought Hack ‘down- for the fourth time with a leg bold. TJie American studied his man and suddenly slapped on his new “up <Oer" hold for the first fall In 14 mlntites. Second fall: Round 1—They bulled about the ring. Hack secured a -wrist hold. Gotch leaned his weight on Hack and, forcing him around the ring. Gotch feinted for a leg hold. They broke and Gotch again feinted for a leg hold. Gotch secured a body hold and Immediately released it. Both tried a little rough work. Hack tried for a leg hold, but missed. Gotch pulling to his knees to escape. Gotch brought his opponent to tbe maL He secured a to* hold, but shifted to a crotch hold and Hack lay down, giving Gotch the world's championship. » Champion Expected to Win. Gotch said after the bout: 'Honest, I didn’t think It would be Bo easy. I expected to win, but not ■with the ease with which the feat actually was accomplished. I had not been in the ring three minutes when I knew that Hack was even less to be feared than he was three years ago.” Hack ran for his dressing room clad In his dressing gown on the Instant that his shoulders touched the mat and he could regain his feet He was jeered by the crowd afi he ran.

The mating season for sheep is not far distant and the best selections of flock headers san be made early in the season. At this time one can choose from among the best of the ram iambs and yearlings or two-yearolds. Offerings of makes will go quick­ ly as soon as the show season opens up and by tbe time tbe sheep is actu­ ally needed the market wifi be pretty well culled over. Procure a yearling or older ram it possible. Ram lambs should not be used unless exceeding CO-OPERATIVE CREAMERIES By W. B. LIYERANCE. Instructor ta Drtrytag. Mictagsa Agrieuksnri Crttegs The old saying that "In union there is strength” Is nowhere more applica­ ble than In a farming community. Co-operation In business means sta­ bility. Nowhere is this better illus­ trated than In the little country of Denmark, where tbe fanners unite In all matters and secure advantages that the individual could not get. In out own country where farmers* or­ ganisations have been attempted, the results have been very satisfactoryAt Lawton. Mich., the grape growers organized In a co-operative way to dis­ pose of tbeir product and were so suc­ cessful that they have received far better prices than ever known before. Not only have good prices prevailed, but a greater stability and surety has been given to disposal of their fruit The Ideal creamery Is the co-oper­ ative one. It is Ideal because it re­ turns all the profits from the manu­ facture dt dairy products to the pro­ ducer. The private creamery owner Is receiving a good profit in the manu­ facture of the cream from farms. H| gets his returns from the overrun that is made In the factory. This amounts to about one-fifth of the but­ ter fat delivered and means about four or five cents for each pound of fat delivered. This, of course, does not mean a net profit, but after all ex­ penses are deducted it means a good profitable return. Well operated co-operative cream­ eries oftentimes pay their patrons two to three cents more per pound of fat than do the private creameries. Thia is because that profit that has been going Into the pocket of the In­ dividual owner is now turned back to the farmer. A better grade of butter can be manufactured at the co-operative creamery than, at tbe private plant. Creameries as a whole are making a much poorer grade of product than in former years, not because the maker is less proflcleat but because of the poor quality of cream received from the farm. Where cooperation is es­ tablished and each patron realizes tha*. his returns depend upon the quality of butter manufactured at the cream­ ery he can be taught the necessity for better care of his cream. A private creamery because of sharp competi­ tion is forced tb take cream of poor quality, but the cooperative creamery, with each Individual a part owner, can be much more critical of the products taken in and as a conse­ quence better butter is made and the top market price received. Many cooperative creanerles have been absolute failures. This may have been the result of one or more of many causes. A promoting com­ pany may have organized the com­ pany In a community where there was not enough cows kept to insure its success. Possibly it was not due to an insufficient numbet; of cows but to the fact that the promoters fol­ lowed their usual custom and charged an exorbitant price for the building and equipment There two factors have been tbe greatest curse to co­ operative creameries and the commu­ nity dealring a co-operative creamery should never ask nor accept the aid of n. promoting company. Very often the failure of a co-opera­ tive creamery is due to mismanage­ ment. the person selected to oversee the business affairs of the company being Incompetent, due to lack uf ex­ perience along creamery lines. The creamery manager should have bad actual experience in butter makfo well matured for the service of a small flock only. For a bunch of forty fives time and money are well ex­ pended in procuring a mature ram. The accompanying illustration shows a mature Hampshire ram which bead­ ed the Michigan agricultural college flock a couple of years ago. Note the blocky compact form, masculine head and neck, strong bone, broad strong back, square heavy quarter and good covering of wool. Keep him In mind tn selecting a ram for be is of almost model type. ana understand every detail of the business. The best co-operative creamery managers are the butter­ makers. A good, thoroughly compe­ tent man should be engaged at a lib­ eral salary to look after the entire buslnws of the creamery. With such a man Its success is practically as­ sured. A factor working very detrimen­ tally to tbe co-operative creamery is the lack of unity and co-operative spirit among farmers. This is a very serious condition, but la generally due to the lack of a competent head and in a creamery organisation of farm­ ers if a strictly reliable manager Is engaged there is little trouble on this score. As previously mentioned the co­ operative creamery is the ideal con­ dition. The leading dairymen in each community should get together to talk over the matter and secure the services of some one from tbeir dairy school or the state dairy and food department to assist them in the organization. It will pay them not only In securing a sure market for their dairy product, but a market that will guarantee better returns. Fitting Aged Ewes for Market on the Farm B, R. S. SHAW In maintaining a profitable flock of sheep careful selection must be prac­ ticed year after year. Some of the older ones must be eliminated and younger ones chosen to fill their places. As a general rule it Is not de­ sirable to keep ewes beyond their sixth year unless In the case of spe­ cial Individuals or flocks of strictly fine wooled types. The matter of age alone should not be tbe deciding fac­ tor in discarding the ewe, for her abib it yto raise a good lamb. The char­ acter and amount of fleece she pro­ duces and the condition of her teeth are factors to be considered as well. The profitable fitting and marketing of ewes too old to be useful further in and breeding flock is quite a problem, especially if brr teeth are defective and she Is in a thin condition because of having reared lambs during the past season. As a rule she cannot be fitted for market profitably on dry feed during the winter except with ab­ normal market conditions. As soon as the old ewe’s lambs have been weaned she should be given ac­ cess to succulent pasture such as sec­ ond growth clover, a well established new seeding or a patch of rape. To the forage thus secured may be added a liberal grain allowance of ground corn and oats In equal parts which would be improved some by the addi­ tion of a little bran or linseed metJ if available. As soon as these condi­ tions have fattened the ewe sufficient­ ly for market then the beat possible deal should be made with the drover or butcher before winter sets Ln.

In addition to the apple* to be dis­ played by these two big development bureaus there will be individual dis­ play* by various growers. Farmers having exceptional fruit have been writing to the management asking for ppace and a.section of the big Coli­ seum has been set aside for them. It is expected that many will take this opportunity to show to the world what their orchards are capable of producing. The fact that fruit men from all over the middle west will be in attendance at this show is stim­ ulating the interest of the individual exhibitors. Application* for space should be made at once as it is limit­ ed. Indications already point to numerous individual exhibitions of handsome specimens of Michigan ap­ ples. Growers who have apples of a qual­ ity that warrants their display at the bfg^pple show, bill who do not care to make Individual exhibits, should notify the Apple Show management at the Evening. Press building. Grand Rapids, so that their fruit may be In­ cluded in the mass displays of one or the other of the development bureaus, according to the territory in which the apples are grown. Some farmers are In a spirit of local patriotism, donating apples to tbe displays of the two bureaus, but the scouts' of the Western Michigan Development Bureau are also bus ing apples for this bureau’s exhibit where choice stock can be secured. The Michigan Agricultural college is to have an unusual “object lesson school” at the show, at which fruit growers, farmers, buyers, and the general public will have a chance to reap the benefits of the extensive ex­ periments and the diligent study whereby the college experts have sought to solve tbe horticultural and agricultural problems of tbe state and to develop Michigan soil and climate to their highest producing efficiency. For tbe purpose of conducting this “object lesson school” or exhibit the college authorities have engaged ex­ tensive space in the Coliseum, right between the great mass displays of the Western Michigan Development Bu­ reau and the Original Fruit Belt As­ sociation. In it will be shown the many varieties of apples grown at tbe Horticultural Experiment station maintained by tbe state at South Haven. These include many varieties not generally grown in Michigan, and that could be found in no other display. The station has been con­ ducting wide experiments with a view to finding just what kinds of apples will do best in Michigan and which will yield greater returns to the grow­ er. In addition the Agricultural college will show in an impressive way tbe benefits derived from scientific fann­ ing and the use of proper methods in combating diseases and parasites. Specimens of trees and fruit grown in the old, neglectful way, the prey of Various pests, will be shown in con­ trast to healthy, wholesome fruit and trees protected by proper spraying and developed by proper care. There will also be shown samples of various pests and their depredations, so that growers and others may become fa­ miliar with them and guard against them. Tbe exhibit will be in charge of ex­ perts from the Agricultural college, and It may be regarded a* a practical school with sound and valuable les­ sons for every person who seeks in­ formation along orchard or farm lines.

CRtF- < / VlldllOllC, 1 Z* R lUlCll - - �AREYC Prosperity and contentment should be the net results of every man’s labor. The man who works hard during the active years of his life should have something substantial to show for it, and should have enough of this world’s goods accumulated to render his declining years peaceful and happy. . What are your prospects? Are you accumulating what you should? Or are you living from hand to mouth from year to year because you are afraid to make a start for yourself? Open your eyesand look around you. Seethe farmers on every hand who are living on the top shelf, bams full, granaries full, cellar full, pantry full, and a substantial balance in the bank. Good old mother earth smiles at being tickled with plow and harrow and yields a competence and a surplus every year. What’s the answer? Here are plenty of good farms, in acreage to suit, as good farms as there are in Michigan, offered to you at prices easily within your reach, and many of them we can sell on very easy terms, so that you don’t have to have much money to start with. We have farms listed at $40 to $100 per acre. Now is the time to buy. Barry and Eaton county farm lands are sure to go higher in price in the near future, because they are lower in price than they ought to be and much lower than in other sections of the state. If you buy now you will reap the benefit of the advance in price which is bound to come. We want you to look this list over carefully and then come and see Tell us just what you would like and just how you are fixed and see how easily we can start you on the right road to prosperity. You are taking no chances when you buy a US. farm, and you know it. Why delay? Get yours now, while the prices are low. A few years will demonstrate the wisdom of our advice. As an evidence that prices are constantly advancing, if you will examine the records in the office of the Register of Deeds of Barry county you will find that over 98% of the farms, which have changed more than once in the past five years show a substantial advance in price. That tells the story plainer than tee can tell it. Money talks louder than words, and in more satisfactory language. See any man who has bought a farm in this vicinity in the past five years and try to buy it for the same price he paid for it. Not much! If he will sell at all, he wants $10 to $25 per acre advance. Think it over with your own thinking'machine; then act. ■ . Hj X.—Farm of 100 acres, four mfleS from Nashville, in Maple Grove ' township. 65 acres under cultivation, balance pasture and limber.

That is. unless vou take a flask. When you get into a flock of quail this fall, don't annihilate the entire flock. Let a few of them get away, in order that we may have quail next year. We are usually pretty well satisfied to get one out of each flock. The poorest economy and the worst policy is to keep the children out of school. Every day lost has its mani­ fold effect: the knowledge which might have been gained on that day is missed, the pupil is thrown behind and becomes discouraged: and it *has a demoralizing effect also on the rest of the class. • The mothers of Nashville who are responsible for their girls running the streets at night should stop and think what they are doing. The girl of fifteen and sixteen is no longer a child. Where will you have their character formed: from the riff-raff of the street or from the good influences of the home? It is for the mothers to answer this question. The street commissioner should see that the crosswalks are kept cleaned. The season of the year has arrived when we must expect frequent rains, and unless the crosswalks are kept clean they will be covered with mud from half an inch to two inches deep. We had a lot of,that last spring. I don't know whether the street com­ missioner or the common council was to blame for it, and don't care, but it ought not to be allowed to go that way again this fall. Primarily, the common council must be the responsi­ ble party, for they should see that it is done. If the village is too hard up financially to have the walks cleaned, possibly a subscription paper might be circulated. At any rate, let's hate the walks cleaned, and cleaned prop­ erly, even if they have to be looked after every day. It will save enough in cuss words from the men and soiled skirts for the ladies to make the ex­ pense a good investment. More boys around Nashville should be learning good trades. It is a mis­ take for the boys to think that they can all be lawyers, doctors, dentists, etc., for many of the professions are already overcrowded, while trained workmen in all lines are becoming scarcer every day. There is a much better^chance for a skilled workman making a success of life for himself and those who in after life will depend upon him than there is for thez major­ ity of those who go in for the pro­ fessions. Take plumbers, for instance. It is almost impossible to secure one, and they command good wages. The reason is that the demand for plumb­ ers is growing faster than appren­ tices are being educated. The same thing is true of nearly all the trades. Machinists, carpenters, printers, dec­ orate. o, all along the line the supply is not up to the demand. A good carpenter^who pushes will soon work into contracting and if he is able and careful will soon have a business which will make him independent; and the same thing is just as true in all of the other trades which require skilled workmen. How many of the boys who have learned their trade in The News (office are now running news­ papers of their own, and making good? Bert Bullinger, at Villisca,, Iowa,;Will Bullinger at Mt. Pleasant, Mich., L. C. Feighner at Litchfield, Mich., Al Weber at Cheboygan, Mich., F. M. Weber at Sandusky, Mich., and all of them have learned the trade in this office since Fike has run The News. Others who have graduated from the office are holding splendid positions in other places, ah though not in business for themselves. A skilled workman, in any line, is the iuost*(indej>eudent man on earth aside from the farmer who owns his own farm.

The funeral was held Monday. Mr. McArthur was born in this township and lived here many years, and was formerly in business at Lake Odessa. Mrs. McArthur, whose maiden name was Lovina Deeg, also lived here, and both have many friends who will sympathize with Mr. McArthur in his bereavement. Levi Deeg, a brother of the deceased, attended the funeral. Mr. and Mrs. W- ‘J. McArthur entertained the latter's brother, Cd Dean, of the Soo and their son Ed and family ot Remus last week. The annual conference of the V. B. church, which has.been in session at the Kilpatrick church, closed Sunday. It was largely attended and much interest shown. C. S. Palmerton and J. S. Reisinger were at Hastings Monday on legal business. Otto Townsend, one of our rural carriers, is taking his annual ---lion, and his substitute, Glenn Eng­ land, is caking Iris place. In their new uniforms our boys certainly do look more like a ball team than they did In their old mis­ fits, and we are sorry they did not get organized sooner. Mrs. Emma Grozlnger-Spindler left Thursday for Minneapolis.. Minne­ sota, to resume teaching, while Mr. i Spindler left Monday to take a course in a college in Germany. George Neithamer got a splendid flowing well for E. A. Sawdy at his resort at Saddlebag lake last week. Ever since the-Wild Cats were de­ I tested at Freeport Lalxir day, -they ' have felt that it was not a superior class of ball that the Freeport team put up,-but rather what is known as base ball luck that defeated them, and this they proved last Saturday when they defeated the Freeport team on our grounds 7 to 3. The visitors started out on the jump, making 3 scores in the first inning, but for the . other 8 their-side of the score sheet showed nothing but T‘goose eggs.” Steckle one of the stars on the Hast­ ings team, was in the box, but neither his pitching nor reputation hud any effect on the Cats after that first in­ ning. And when he came to use the stick he was unable to get to first base. Fisher and L. Hynes alternat­ ed in the pitcher's box and each threw splendid ball. In fact the entire team played a fast, scrappy game and de­ served the praise they got. Now if they can get a chance at the Sunfield team, we believe that they can even that matter up.

CONTROL OF Children Cry "I have a world of confidence in Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy for 1 have used it with perfect' success," writes Mrs. M. I. Basford, Pooles­ ville, Md. For sale by all dealers. Children Cry FOR FLETCHER’S The history of agricultural machin­ ery has been one of extremely rapid development within comparatively re­ cent years. The trend of develop­ ment has been toward the applica­ tion of power to hand processes. The history of manufacturing shows the same course. We are told that the extended use of power has made the work of the world less arduous and shortened the hours of labor. Man’s progress depends largely upon his ca­ pacity to do work, which is the result of the expenditure of energy. The use of power has multiplied bls ca­ pacity a hundredfold. The man with the boe, dull and uncomprehending. Is passing, and In his stead we And the man with wits keen to direct and hands skilled to control the energy which doubles bls own a score, whether It be the four-horse team, the steam engine, or the gasoline tractor. Through the agency of well adapted agricultural machines be has been able to direct this energy Into useful work, the effectiveness and nicety ot which the unaided hand of man could never equal. This year at Winnipeg, Canada, was held a competition of motor trac­ tors, steam, gasoline and kerosene. Here were met thirty-one outfits from half as any companies. For three weeks tl ,se machines were subjected to the severest tests on the brake and In the field under actual working con­ ditions. Virgin prairie sod, the tough­ est task the plowman has ever en­ countered, was severed and upturned with a rapidity and ease amazing to the layman. What was the purpose of It all? Primarily to determine the adaptibillty of the various types of machines'to the work for which they are intended, but In a larger sense to develop and perfect a machine which means the making of the northwest. We are accustomed to the use of power on the farm In Michigan. The principal sources are the windmill, the gasoline engine, the steam engine, and the horse. The field has been di­ vided and to the lighter duties have been assigned the windmill and the gasoline engine. The steam engine handles the heavier duties to which It Is adapted, but to man’s most faith­ ful friend, the horse, falls the greater share. The steam engine has never been seriously considered as a field machine In Michigan on account of Its weight and unwieldiness on the comparatively small ■fields and farms. There Is being brought forth today, however, the light Internal combus­ tion tractor Intended for general pur­ pose work upon the farm. It has not We are unpacking new goods daily for. all departments, and in a few days will . have our stock so arranged as to show you as fine an assortment of new fall and winter merchandise, including our special­ ties, ladies’ and misses’ ready-to-wear garments, and the well known Munsing underwear for men, women and children.

It proves that he spent weeks sketching the neck­ lace, stone by stone, and It proves, too,.that he went to Paris to have the duplicate made.” "It proves all that,” agreed the Chief. “But who had the opportunity to see the necklace a sufficient num­ ber of times and long enough to make the sketches? Who but Miss Hol­ comb?” “I will find someone who had al­ most as good an opportunity,” Britz returned confidently. “And if you do, what will it mean?" asked the Chief. "It will mean something to work on." the detective said. The next twenty-four hours Britz spent in the quiet of his home, his mind fodused on the prob­ lem’ before him, trying to map out his line of procedure. Plan after plan he 12 l-2c OPEN SUNDAYS FROM 7:00 to 10:00 a. m. John Ackett TRY THE WANT COLUMN 1 CENT A WORD.

He could’have •truck out blindly In the hope of stumbling on a trail, But that was not Britz's method. Crime mysteries were to him scientific problems to be solved by scientific means. Step by step he went over the ground already covered, and then swept the outlook with the keen searchlight .of his mind. By a process of elimination he tried to sift the real thief from the group of -suspects on whom his mental ef­ forts were concentrated. He was un­ able to drag forth the culprit. Then he sought to discern the motive for the crime in the action of each possible criminal, but he could come to no sat­ isfactory conclusion. “More information, more Informa­ tion Is needed before the rea’ work can begin!” he murmured. In his preoccupation he did not ob­ serve the door open and the servant show in a subordinate from Head­ quarters. Not until the visitor spoke did he become aware of his presence. "Two cablegrams for you, sir,” the subordinate said. - Tbe first cablegram aroused no emo­ tions tn the detective. “Have obtained original drawings. Will sail to-morrow with them," the message from Ixigan read. He opened the second envelope and read the contents half a dozen times, as if to stamp them indelibly on his mlnd.^ “Drawings for duplicates taken to manufacturer-by young woman.- Gave name of Elinor Holcomb." Brits dismissed tbe visitor, left the house, and hastened to the office of Dr. Fitch-. Taking dfie Important cablegram from his pocket, he handed it to the. physician. The doctor's eyes lingered on -each word. His face paled, his eyes bulged forward, a violent tremor ran up and down his frame. "This 4s awful!" he groaned. "It’s great news for you and Miss Holcomb?' the detective smiled. Filch eyed him In perplexity. The detective met his Inquiring gaze stead­ ily, and,.slowly folding the cablegram, he said: “It proves beyond question she had no part in the crime." . “How?" Fitch demanded eagerly. “If Miss Holcomb had been clever enough to plan tbe theft, she’d, have known better than to go about Paris ordering the dupllcaten.. Also, if she had taken tbe diamonds, she’d never hav» permitted one of them to remain In her room In Mrs. Mlssioner’a house. No, whoever stole those gems deliberately tried to throw suspicion on her." “But who could have conceived such a dastardly crime?” Fitch blurted, a wave of anger sweeping bls frame. ^'Whoever it was." Britz returned, "either was actuated by enmity to­ ward the young woman, or knew enough about the Mlssloner household to realize that suspicion would natur­ ally fall on her. and therefore he de­ cided to use her as a cloak to hide his own identity. However, I now have something to work on, something that will produce quick results. Dr. Fitch, you may tell Miss Holcomb that in my calculations she Is entirely eliminated from participation in the crime. You may inform her also that tbe hunt for the thief has begun." Before the physician recovered from the pleasant shock of the de­ tective's words, Britz was hurrying down the steps. CHAPTER X. Dorothy March Talks. Matinee girls In the Forrest Theater differ from their sisters of other New York playhouses in that they are farmore serious than anybody In the eve­ ning audiences. Caramels, marshmal­ lows, chocolate creams are forbidden by tbe unwritten law of their oulL The utmost nourishment one of there can allow hbrself Is a salted almond nibbled surreptitiously between de­ corous little outbursts of kid-gloved applause. It Is not the sort of gather­ ing In which one would expect to find the busiest sleuth of tbe headquarters staff, especially with a great diamond mystery on his hands. Yet, on one of those warm January afternoons that make the metropolis wonder If It Is being metamorphosed Into a winter resort, one of tbe most Interested aud­ itors In the select little theater was Detective-Lieutenant Britz, of Man­ ning's staff. Britz found tbe somebody he sought when bis gaze fell on a slim little fig­ ure in the trimmest of dove-colored gowns, sitting in the fifth row off the center aisle. Instantly his last pre­ tense of attention to the play van­ ished. Keeping his eyes on the gray curves of the girl In the fifth row, he quitted bls post at one side of the house and walked slowly to the main exit, whence he watched her until the curtain fell bn the first act .Mean­ while, he scribbled on a card, slipped a liberal tip into the receptive hand of an usher, and Indicated the object of bls interest When the curtain fell on the first act the usher hurried down the aisle, and presented the card to the girl In gray. ' "If Miss March." read the young woman, “will spare a few minutes to Britz, of Headquarters, she will con­ fer a favor and serve her friend, Mrs. Mlssloner." Dorothy gathered her wrap, glasses and program quickly and followed tbe usher to the back of the theater. The youth led her to tbe famous detective, whom, though she had heard of him through Doris Mlssloner, she beheld for tbe first time. "You wished to see me?" inquired Dorothy. It was a banal question, and a flush tinged her cheeks as she /•allzed Its superfluousness could not es­ cape the greatest detective in New York. But Britz seemed not to notice It, and the simple directness of bls manner put the girl at hec ease. "I took the liberty. Miss March,” he said pleasantly, "because I saw you across the orchestra, and I need a short course in social knowledge." His smile robbed the reply of flip­ pancy. “Fancy!" said Dorothy. She was so utterly at sea as to the detective’s purpose she could think of nothing •Ise.to say save. "I fear you have j sought a poor teacher." S^JVell. I don't know now.” Britz re- j turned.'looking at her with respectful I admiration. “You see, you're a sod- | tty girt, and I know nothing of -soclety. arid there’s something I wont to know—something I .ought to know." “If there's anything I can tell you, Mr. Britz. Hl be glad to dp so,” Dor­ othy volunteered. “Especially If it will help you to .find Mrs. Mlssloner's diamonds." "I’m not sure it will." said Britz. “It may, however, eave me from seeking them In the. wrong place. You seemed to enjoy the play. Miss March." This shift of subjects was ro ab­ rupt that If Dorothy's breath had not already Aeen coming- In catches, she might have gae^sd. It was evident detectives were Tuore original than society men. She Rendered absently If the type was worth studying. “Why. yes," her' hesitating answer came. "I believe It’s considered one of the best hits of the season. Very elevating, you knoyr. and’—ewell, differ­ ent" "Modern, Miss March &' "It has two periods; Tne first deals with the life of todgyZlhe second harks back to the early’"Victorian pe­ riod with, I understand, an abrupt re­ turn to the present" She was chatting quite easily with the detective now. Had she been reared In Mulberry street Instead of on Murray HUI, she could not have felt more natural. "Now. this society subject—by the way, Mias March." Britz switched again. "Is there as much difference between sqclal life then and now?” “Oh. a great deal, I should say.” Her eyes twinkled. "Of course, I cahnot speak with authority—from per­ sonal observation." "I wouldn’t ask you to tell me any­ thing about Ward McAllister from per­ sonal observation. Miss March.” said the sleuth. His gallantry on occasion ' was the wonder of the Central office- ! Dorothy looked alarmed. Could it I be great detectives wasted time on compliments, too? But a side glance at the detective's serious expression reassured her. It was manifest even to a debutante he had no idea of ma­ king an Impression along that line. She laughed frankly and looked at him again In tbe friendliest way. "1 know you don't want to ask me about anything so recent as the Span­ ish war?’-she said, “now, do you?" "Candidly, I don't," he rejoined. "To tell you the plain truth, I don't know exactly what I wish to ask you nor-how to ask it, but I have an idea you can help me, and I am sure you will for Mrs. Mlssloner's sake," "And Miss Holcomb's?" asked the i girl eagerly. "She, too, you know. Is a dear friend of mine." “And Miss Holcomb's," answered the headquarters man warmly. "Let me say. too. my dear young lady, os one old enough to be your—your—’* "Don't say my brother. Mr. Britz," Interposed Dorothy mischievously. "I —I—well. I don't really see how I can be a sister to anybody else.” She felt impelled to treat this strangely natural man naturally—she, who de­ spite her Inexperience, could freeze presumption with a glance, felt that way. It was a tribute to his adapta­ bility. ' Britz laughed. | “Miss March." be said with more heartiness In his tone than bad col­ ored It In many a day, "If I were not so busy£ it would ire a delight to be an elder brother to you. But I gass# you’re not Interested in my Impulses, and we were talking of the play." | "Oh, yes, 'the play's the thing.’" Dorothy countered with keen relish of the situation. If subtlety was bls Intention, she would show him what a woman—Dorothy was all of nineteen —* woman could do. "I never would have supposed," she added, allowing herself full measure of mischief, "that a famous detective could be a matinee man.”, Britz winced. His ready good na­ ture parried her shafts, however, and It was with the same slow smile that he replied: “Does the author reconcile the man­ ners of the two periods, or, Is the piece one of those problem plays that leave everything to the audience? You see. Miss March," be went on. “Mulberry street gets to Broadway occasionally." “I don’t know, Mr. Britz." She tried to recall the advance notice of the production. ''This ia the first time I've seen IL I dare say the play­ wright has bridged the gap some­ how." "It’s a wide gap to bridge.” ob­ served the detective thoughtfully. "From reading nineteenth century nov­ els, I should say it would be hard for the writer to hold Interest with such a groundwork for bls plot Things were so different B0 years ago." "Exactly what my grandfather says," Dorothy retorted, fun flashing In that mignon face. "But we'll know soon bow the author has succeeded," she added. “The orchestra Is nearing the end of this selection." "Even their amusements were differ­ ent" mused Brits. "Instead of golf, tennis, autoIng. yachting, they had archery, croquet, sketching and square dances—I don't suppose anybody In society sketches nowadays, Miss March?" "I'd hardly say that" she replied. "There tre a few talented men—" "And many women—” "Oh. almost all women are more or lees artistic," said Dorothy with convlcltlon "But one must not be un­ just to the men on that account" “Well.

I also handle the American , Specialty Co.'s tailoring line of made to order clothing at prices from 413.50 t 427.50 per suit or overcoat, and to ।this is one point in particular that I wish to speak about. The agents for ithese tailoring houses generally , charge for their suits from $18 to $40, but I am going to make a special fea­ ture of that class of work this fall and ;am going to start these suits and over­ (coats at $13.50 and stop at $27.50, which will make a saving to you of from $2.50 to $12.50 on a suit or over­ coat. Now don’t take my word for ' this; I want you to look at every other man’s ‘line and get his best 1 prices; then compare them with mine, and if you can't save money by buy­ ! ing of "me I don't want your trade.

PROTECT THE SICK Martial Law la Declared fn Italian Town of Maasafra Following Cholera Riots. THE PRIDE OF Chesterfield Courthouse, Va., Sept. 9. —His Iron nerve still unshaken, Henry Clay Beattie, Jr., is under double death guard in the little jail here, after hear­ ing the words of the twelve fanners who composed tbe jury that deemed his guilt of the murder of his young bride proven beyond- a doubt Ho Is under sentence to die In the electric chair on November 24. Just one ballot, of the jury was re­ quired to seal Beattie’s doom. Tbe Jurors retired for their deliberations at 5:30 o’clock. The official verdict was banded In at 6:43, although at 6:29 the jurors entered the courtroom and handed In a verdict of “guilty as charged In the Indictment*’ Guilty of First Degree Murder. This did not satisfy Special Prose­ cutor Wendenberg, who demanded that the verdict be specifically fixed The next verdict was “guilty of murder in the first degree,." Beattie heard the verdict without a tremor. He faced the twelve men at the order of the clerk, and loked di­ rectly Into the eyes of those who would return bls glance. The courtroom showed the nervous, tense strain un­ der which everybody baa been labor­ ing for days, the crowd bending for­ ward as the foreman of tbe Jury, In a typical slow, pronounced southern drawl, spoke the fatal words. Even the lawyers, schooled to fight down their emotions In such a crisis, were on edge. But It was a popular verdict. A burst of approval came from the spec­ tators, and Judge Watson was cqppelled to fap for order. Beattie rested on bis right hand, which seemed nailed to the desk In front of him. His left hand was placed on his hip In an attitude of defiance. Not a trace of fear, emotion or sorrow came to hi* features Old. Father Near Collapse. Tbe lips of his father trembled, and the old man settled back as far as he could Into his chair. Beattie calmly talked to his senior counsel, Harry N. Smith, discussing the next move. The prosecutor asked for an Immediate sentence. Attorney Smith asked that the ver­ dict be set aside as contrary to the law and evidence. Tbe judge refused to grant this motion, which was. how­ ever. a mere formality to pave the way for tbe appeal which Is to come to the higher courts Is Sentenced to Death. Then Attorney Smith made an ap­ peal for a stay of sentence. Again he failed. Judge Watson ruling that be thought sentence should be pro­ nounced immediately, and thereupon sentenced Beattie to death, setting tbe date as November 24. The Judge, how­ ever. gave the defense a ray of hope by announcing, over the protest of Prosecutor Wendenberg. that he would grant a stay of execution of the sen- ! tence for ninety days. While the jury was out Benttie amused himself reading the newspa­ pers. Then he walk-?d again through the yard with hia father and an officer. “Well, it looks as If It was all up. Henry." said a reporter to Beattie shortly after the jury had rend-red Its verdict “Oh. no. its not 1 have a good show yet. and I'm still fighting," returned tbe prisoner, still smiling.

Furniss _J Work on the sewer in District No. 2 ■wiil be started next week, if Contrac­ tor A. P. Southworth is not mistaken. The contract for the job was let to him at a meeting of the common .council held Friday evening. He and Henry Winters of East Jordan were the only bidders, .and the council decided to let Mr. Southworth have the job. His 14 last moment, his bid was filed2.078 at the train being late in getting in. Consulting Engineer Hill of .the Riggs & Sherman company of Toledo, who made the sewer survey and plans,' arrived here Wednesday afternoon on the 3:51 train, and the blds were open­ ed that'evening at a. special meeting of the council. After some considera­ tion of the bids, the meeting was ad­ journed until Friday evening, al which time the job was. awarded to A. P. Southworth of Adrian. He is a big contractor and this job he says will take ljut a few days. The proposition as made in the advertisement for bids allowed sixty days for the completion of the work, but Mr. Southworth put the proposition up to the council that if they so desired they could cut that time to thirty days, which they were very glad to accept, as they have to pay the consulting engineer 85 per day for his time, and the fewer days they have to hold him here the better. Mr. Southworth does all his digging by machine, which does the work much more rapidly and economically than it can be done by hand. Where it is necessary to curb, he tises heavy steel plates, which can be quickly and securely braced, and this does away with all quicksand troubles. He says if everything goes all right be will not be more than ten days doing the digging for the entire job. This will be good news to the people of the village, for it will mean that the streets will only be dug up for a very short time. Mr. Southworth is al present work­ ing at Charlevoix, but be expects to finish there the fore part of next week, and will come from tnere to Nashville and get at this job right away. . RECKLESS AUTO DRIVING. While returning Friday evening from his work at Rufus Ehret’s. C. P. Smith was severely injured through a case of as reckless and brutal auto­ mobile driving as has ever been re­ ported in this vicinity. He was driv­ ing a single rig and as he neared Chas. Feighner’*, just north of the village, be met an auto, a gray Buick, and turned to the extreme right of a 20-foot road bed to allow the car to pass. The driver, however, refused to turn out, and to avoid a collision Mr. Smith was forced to drive so far over the embankment that the buggy was overturned. He was thrown heavily on the ground and sustained a complete fracture of the right leg. about half way between the knee and hip. The car did not stop,7 and Chas. Feighner and Levi Hickman, who live near by. went to Mr. Smith's aid. He was brought to hishbme In the village and Drs. Shilling and Morris set the broken limb. A daughter, Mrs. O. N. Riggle of Grand Rapids, is here helping care for him, and at present he is getting along as nicely as could lx- expected. The machine was traced as far as Hastings, where it is thought it is owned, and Sheriff Ritchie is working on the case. STARTING STATE ROAD WORK. Highway Commissioner Feighner is going io put in the mile of slate reward road running west from Price’s corners himself, and will start work on it right away. He has been in­ specting some of the work done by the parties whom it had been proposed to have superintend this mile of road work, and has decided that he can make a better job of It himself, and at less expense. Consequently he will start work at once and will complete the job just as quickly as be can with all the men and teams he can secure and use to advantage. He has been working this week on the hill north of i the standpipe, has it well graded and is now having it graveled, so that within a few days it will be in good shape. It had become badly rutted out with the hard rains and heavy traffic, and had become almost im­ passable, but will now be in good shape again. We are all anxious to see how a tnWe of stale reward road will look-near Nashville, and a great deal of interest will naturally be man­ ifested in this work, the first of its kind to be done in Castleton town­ ship. We hope it will prove so in­ spiring when completed that another year will see a decided move made in the direction of better roads. GOT IT IN THE NECK. Howard Messimer was the lucky victim of an accident Saturday morn­ ing as it come within an ace of being fatal. While assisting Mrs. Henry Wolcott in moving some stove­ pipe. he was struck on the neck by a length of pipe, and several gashes in­ flicted, one just grazing the jugular vein. The aoctor patched him up, and be is working out with the few ball team as usual, with good pros­ pects of lasting through the season. SPEED OF AUTOMOBILES. Here' is a suggestion from the Adrian Telegram which is charac­ terized by much common sense and will be approved by everyone but fast automobile drivers: “In all the talk about the excessive speed of automobiles on our roads and streets, there is one complete, absolute and iierfectly practical remedy that we have never heard suggested—that of putting a mechanical rather than a legal limit on the speed of the machines themselves. For y«-ara the paper* have lioen full of accident* caused by reckless driving. Millions of people have been frightened, endangered and disgusted by the antics of speed maniacs. Legislatures have passed laws,'councils have passed ordinances, automobile clubs have tried to correct the abuse, village constables and city “bicycle oops” have tried to enforce the laws, millions of lies have been told and millions of bad words used. But still the lawmakers-have kept their eyes on the driver and not on the machine, and all their efforts have been directed to the hopeless task of making every fool behave like a wise man, and every rowdy behave like a gentleman. The argument that some people like it is no argument at all. The automobile has come to stay, its use is steadily increasing, and public safety demands a better protection than the mere word of drivers • or the guesses of bystanders.” . WHEN FARMING PAYS. “Farming doesn’t pay,” said the boy of yesterday, and he forthwith hied himself in the city, there, per­ haps, to labor in store or shop at so much per week, subjecting himself at the same time, to the beck and call of some one else. But to the boy of today il may be said: “Farming does pay, and pay well..” As e.n instance, the success of H. O. Braham may be pointed out. Yesterday the news column of The Evening Press told that Mr. Braman had sold his Grand Rapids township farm of 136 acres for 315,444. When Mr. Braman began years ago to buy that farm he was a laborer, and be made his first payment out of his sav­ ings. Now he retires a man of mean.*, being regarded as wealthy by his neighbors. And in the years between he has obtained a good living from the farm and steadily accumulated a competence., Best of all, be main­ tained the sturdy independence of- the successful farmer. Mr. Braman made a small begin­ ning. It may have been a hard begin­ ning, for when he started Kent county *as not far removed from pioneer conditions. Skill it was a beginning over which there was the augury of success, for Mr. Braman han a head and he used it as well a* his hands in developing his land and growing his crops. . He was among the first to realize Kent county’s adaptability to fruit growing, and was a pioneer peach raiser. He kept up with the firooession of advancement* in farmng methods and reaped the profit. Now, as a result of his enterprise and industry, he can sit down and spend his declining years in peace and se­ curity, availing himself of all the comforts and even the luxuries that life today can apply. There was an exodus from the farm not so many years ago. Now there is an exodus from the. city back to the farm. Just such cases as that of Mr. Braman are furnishing the inspira­ tion and incentive.—Grand Rapids Press. CHANGES IN GAME LAWS. There have been several changes made in Michigan game laws, which it would be well for Focal sportsmen to note. For instance, rabbits are pro­ tected until October 15, and it js un­ lawful to use ferrets and (guinea pigs in bunting them. Farmers and fruit­ growers, ^however, may use ferrets in killing rabbits on their enclosed land. Fox, black and gray squirrels are protected until 1914. The open season on nuail is October 15 to November30, inclusive, but it is unlawful to lake more than ten in one day, more than fifty In one calendar year, or to have more than 15 in one’s possession at one time. The duck season is from October 15 to December llt inclusive. Tealand mallards may be killed from Septem­ ber 15 to December 31. it is unlawful to lake in one day more than twentyfive ducks or geese,'six woodcock, ten plover or ten snipe and other snore CREAMERY ELECTS OFFICERS. At the annual meeting of the N ash­ ville Creamery company, held last week, the former officers of the com­ pany, as given below, were all re­ elected. Ed Liebbauser, president. Wesley Noyes, vice president. C. C. Price, secretary. C. A. Hough, treasurer. The above four, with Dr. W. A. Vance, comprise the board of direc­ tors. Under the management of butter­ maker A. C. Siebert the creamery was found in a very satisfactory and pros­ perous condition, and did a business for the season of nearly $3,000 more than that of the previous season. The Nashville creamery is one of the best in this part of the state; every­ body gets a sou a re deal, and any Kiron can see their cream tested or ve their bows tested free of charge at almost any time.

Kiev, Sept. 19.—Premier Stolypin is dead irom the bullet wounds inflicted on him at tbe municipal opera last Thursday night by Dimitry Bogroff, a Jewish lawyer. With the passing of Russia's “iron man" the emperor faces a situation which all tbe bewildering undar- work to combat. Jaws Fleeing Country. Jews, fearing a massacre more vio­ lent than any yet recorded in Russia's black history, are fleeing from the country in hordes. Hundreds left the province of Kiev Immediately upon hearing of the premier's death, and as the news reaches the -outlying prov­ inces thousands of the persecuted peo­ ple are crossing the borders for safe­ ty. The utmost excitement prevails in the government centers, where dili­ gent search is being made for others of the revolutionary band of which Bogroff is believed to be a member. Every known Acquaintance of Bog­ roff has been arrested. More than 200 of his friends, among them many prominent lawyers, are in prison. Bog­ roff, plunged Into mental delirium by the news of his victim's death, is fur­ nishing the police with every detail of the circumstances leading up to his crime. He is said to have repealed the names of other high officials marked for death, and extra precau­ tions are being taken to guard these persons from assassination. Bogroff bad maintained an attitude of confi­ dence up to tbe time of the premier's first sinking spell, but when told that M. Stolypin could not live the prison­ er became despondent and talked freely of bis act Kiev Under Martial Law. Kiev is practically under martial law. Armed Cossacks are patrolling the streets and few of the residents venture out. of doors, fearing arrest as suspects. The streets about the sanitarium where the premier died have been closed to all traffic. The secret police are alert to detect the first indication of a revolutionary up­ rising consequential upon the death oi the man whose summary methods caused him to be viciously bated and feared,by the terrorists. Premier Stolypin's condition as­ sumed a dangerous aspect Sunday night. Governor General Trepoff took bls place at the bedside early in tbe evening and watched over the patient unremittingly until'death came. Premier Stolypin rallied following the removal of the bullet and before bis relapse talked cheerfully Of his condition and of current events. He showed genuine sympathy for bis as­ sailant. “I saw the little fellow approaching me." he said, "and truly he presented a pitiful spectacle. He was pale and bent nnd, as I remember now, seemed to tremble. He was a sorry figure.” A Knox car. driven by Lee Oldfield in tbe 60-mlle race, left the track and crashed through the fence on the turn after leaving tbe stretch tn front of tbe grand stand. It plowed for some distance into the crowd. The blowing out of a tire was re­ sponsible for the accident . Oldfield, who was injured, is being guarded by an officer in a city hos­ pital. and as soon an he recovers will be arrested. Six of the nine victims were killed outright, and three others were so badly Injured that they died on the way to the hospital.

For, tn her glrllah talk, she had given him the first Mlssioner clue of the week—or, rather, she had extended for him a thread of the mystery that had occupied much of his thoughts from the moment when he received Logan's cable saying tbe paste jewels ' were made from sketches. For days, he had sought to. learn who among Mr*. Mlssloner's intimates was artist enough to make such delicate draughts of the dia­ monds as would be required by an ar­ tificer for the manufacture of imita­ tions. With that object, he had a«oertalned Dorothy’s Intention to go to the matinee in the Forrest and had gone to the theater to meet her under con­ ditions not likely, to interfere with such gentle questioning of her as' he meant to do. His veiled interrogation of the society girl had brought forth the fact that Curtis Griswold could sketch—that the clubman was suffi­ ciently muter of his pencil to have his skill pretty generally known among his acquaintances. Lorimer and Daubigny, the other society ar­ tiste she had mentioned, were not, he knew, in Mrs. Mlssloner's circle’. It wu fortunate for Lieutenant Britz, u well as for Elinor Holcomb and Doctor Fitch, and everybody wtyyse hopes hlng*i on the detective's success in solving the great Mlssioner diamond mystery, ‘that long custom made him thread the traffic of the city’s throbbing artery automatically, for so deeply did the sleuth ponder the possibilities of his newest infor­ mation that hie had several close es­ capes from takicabs, private automo­ biles and trolley cars as he crossed Broadway and bent his steps toward Fifth avenue. The cue bad c!ea<pd a little, but hla course wu not much plainer than it had been when he dropped Into the theater in quest of further knowledge. "It won’t do to call Miu March u a witness,” he mused, whlking north in the carriage-crowded avenue, with that briskness characteristic of him when his brain wu most active. "Sha can’t absolutely prove anything.” * It wu necessary to obtain tangible evi­ dence of Griswold's ability u a draughtsman. How to do so without alarming the clubman wu the present problem. Britz by po means wu prepared to suspect Griswold of the robbery. He realized thoroughly that Dorothy's in­ formation wu all he bad to Indicate Griswold any more than Sands, or two or three others. He did not even know whether -Miu Holcomb could draw, and it wu no part ot his pur­ pose to distress the Imprisoned girl with questions batraying the smallest belief in the accusation against her. No; Britz always honest with himself, could not say he suspected Griswold. His method wu the opposite of Don­ nelly's and Carson's. Instead of sus­ pecting everybody, u they invariably did In cues at all mysterious, he would not attach suspicion to anyone without satisfactory proof. That wu the secret of his success. He wu .more than a detective; he wu prose­ cutor. judge, jury and counsel to the defense. It accounted for the fact that he rarely made a mistaken ar­ rest, and that when be caused m»n or woman to be placed In the prison­ er's dock, a conviction almost always followed. "Griswold, Sands. AU, Blodgett—” The names presented themselves to the sleuth’s mind in that order as he hutened along with no particular place ah an objective—merely walking to stimulate hl* mental process. It always brightened Britz to pass the panorama of fuhlon in Fifth avenue. It wu with an almost fatherly feel­ ing he glanced at the rich, the debon­ air, the gay sauntering along the side­ walks or rolling in automobiles and carriages up and down the uphalt The safety of their wealth, sometimes of their very Ilves, depended on the vigilance, courage and efficiency of himself, and of the few men like him on the police force of New York. Bo far u the rank and file of the depart­ ment were concerned, thoae care-free sons and daughters of opportunity might be at the mercy at tbe ablest birds o( prey in the human flock, it wu because Britz and his compeers worked and watched and waited so patiently, so devotedly, so ceaselessly, that fuhlon and finance, coquetry and commerce, could bask in the sunshine of metropolitan prosperity. A dark-blue limousine frtanding at the corner of Forty-fourth street caught his attention. For a moment he -studied It as he slackened his pace. Then he stopped short, retraced his steps, crossed to the east side of the avenue, and, through the windows of a waiting cab, trained his gaze on Sherry’s fashionable restaurant in front of which the costly automobile stood. Dimly, through the filmy lace curtatns, he saw the figures of those lingering over afternoon tea, with a few early diners. He could not dis­ tinguish their faces, but something In tbe bearing of a woman at the first window held his glance. Then a waiter, moving silently about the ta­ ble, chanced to part the curtains with bis elbow, and in the momentary gap between the folds of film Britz saw j tl>. blond, boaut, ot Mr, Mlutonrr. , and the dear-cut features of Curtis • Griswold. Brits settled himself to wait The ; cabman, whose vehicle he was using . rs a redoubt, looked at him Inquiring­ ly, but the detective fished out of his pocket ft fat cigar with a soarlet-andgold band, and In a moment , he and the cabby were chatting amiably. The headquarters man had not long to wait Before the cabman had gone far Into discussion of the current pollticai crisis, the door of the restau­ rant across the street was swung open by a boy in many buttons; and Mrs. Mlssioner appeared on the threshold. She was followed cljeely by Griswold and, after a molnent's pause to glad­ den the heart of tbe much-buttoned youth, by a mart the watching detec­ tive was somewhat surprised to see— Bruxton Bands. "Home," said Mr$. Mlssioner to her chauffeur. Brltx could not' hear the word, but he-read It from her Ups. He saw th* widow step Into her limou­ sine. saw Sands and Griswold follow, saw the chauffeur throw his clutch, saw the big car glide swiftly south to wheel for a northward trip along the avenue. Before the automobile reached a turning point, the detective sprang into the cab. whispered an ad­ dress to the driver, and added In a low tone: "Double your fare for speed.” The cabman lashed his horse and, ' knowing his craft, threaded his way through the traffic so quickly that in a short time he was several blocks ahead of the limousine. AH 'the way up the avenue the race continued, Brltx well in the lead. At the Fifty­ ninth ■ street entrance, the automobile swung Into the park, but the cabman urged his horse straight up Fifth ave­ nue, and so great was the gain made by the short cut that a few blocks fur­ ther north he dropped his fare in front of a mansion of Imposing ugli­ ness, touched his hat in acknowledg­ ment of a generous fee, and was bowl­ ing eastward, halfway to Madison ave. nue, when the Mlssioner car reap­ peared from the park’s Seventy-sec­ ond street gate. “You at least can stqn for a minute of gossip,” said Mrs. Mlssioner over her abnulder as she preceded Sands and Griswold Into her library. "Fi­ nance and club affairs can wait a lit­ tle while, and—oh!" She stopped in the act of throwing off her furs, and stood gaxing at the middle of the room. There, absorbed in his task, at ease in a big cbahr be­ fore the crackling grate, sat Detective­ Lieutenant Britz. Pad in one hand, pencil in the other, he-was sketching busily. Mrs. Mlssioner extended a hand be­ hind her to silence her companions. She turned her head with a smile al­ most as mischievous as Dorothy could flash. "HushI" she whispered. She and the others watched Britz quietly as his pencil moved slowly, awkwardly over the paper. From his frequent glances at the end of the room that held tile big safe, it was evident he was making a drawing of IL Tbe la­ borious dragging of his pencil point proved he was not accustomed to such work—at least, so It seemed' to one of the three who watched him. But the sleuth stuck to the task doggedly, and at last be bore so heavily on a corner of his sketch that the point of his pencil broke. ' He laid down the pad, took out a pocket knife, and began to sharpen the pencil When the point was fashioned to his liking, he looked up. Mr. Brltx.” she laughed, holding the paper at arm's length. Tm afraid you’ll never make an artist. ■ I hope,” she added hastily, “you have no pro­ fessional pride on that point?” "None whatever,” returned the de ■ tectlve. He liked a woman with e sense of humor, and there was some­ thing about Mrs. Missionsr that ap- vtM maraly a substitute." Sands, towering above rhe widow on the hearth-rug. shot a single.

Griswold’s glance brushed it carelessly, but the widow’s Interest In it was echoed by him ir. so for that he took the dia­ gram from' her and examlned.lt for a few secoifda Then, with a short, harsh laugh, he half turned to Britz, alternately bending and straightening the paper in his fingers. "Ever hear of such a thing u per­ spective, detective?" he uked conde­ scendingly. Britz overlooked the air of superiority. He shook his bead thoughtfully. There wu inquiry in his eyes as he waited for Griswold's next words. "You'd starve to death in a studio," the clubman continued scornfully. A crisp little laugh from Britz was the only reply. He crossed the floor and made a microscopic examination of the safe. Then he circled the room, tapping tbe walls again, moving pieces of furniture to look behind them.-turn­ up-corners of the rug. and gazing re­ flectively at the celling. All, the In­ dian servant, appeared noiselessly at the door, started slightly at the sight of the detective, and vanished as si­ lently. Britz pretended not to see the Hindoo, but. In bis movements about the room, he paused at the threshold, and glanced quickly down the passage. There was no one In sight All that time, Curtis Griswold, hav­ ing ripped off the sheet on which Britz had drawn the rude diagram, was sketching idly as he talked in an undertone to the widow. His words held her attention. She took no note of tbe detective's . wandering, the heavy silence of Sands, the soundless appearance and disappearance of the Hindoo. Ripples of laughter revealed that she, at least, was amused by what Griswold was saying. It was when Britz, having finished his de­ tailed examination of the room, stopped close - beside him that they looked up. "I see you are an artist. Mr. Gris­ wold." remarked the sleuth, his eyes on the paper under the clubman's pen­ cil. Griswold was genuinely surprised. For the first time, he seemed to be­ come aware of the shape his idle tra­ cing on the pad bad taken. In the course of bls brief chat with Mrs. Mlssioner, he had sketched clearly, accurately, artistically, not only the room, but the great safe at the forther end—sketched them far better in those few minutes than Britz could have done in os many hours. His drawing, almost automatic, showed the subconscious skill of—to say the least—an excellent amateur. "Why, that’s sojf be said, holding up the drawing indifferently. His prowess with the pencil was an old atory to the widow and his rival. Gris­ wold tossed the pad and pencil on the table and resumed his talk with Mrs. Mlssioner, turning the coldest of cold shoulders, toward tbe sleuth. . But Brltx was not to be shouldered aside so easily. He addressed himself toward the widow, winning her Instant attention with h!s first query: "Has Miss Holcomb ever told you much about her last year in Smith?” ALCOHOL J Mg CIST The Kind You Have Always Bought A'VttetaNtnrpntbnlrAi sinulainSarFoodaoJiWtli itatUrSnstaadBo^ Bears the /, A.

The widow pushed aside the heavy hangings of a window and peered into the twilight backed by the trees in tbe park. Britz, having moved, took .another step. Those gray eyes of his shifted so rap­ idly they were upon the three others almost simultaneously. So gradually, so slowly did he approach the table that no one noticed his hand upon It ’ Resting that hand upon the edge, he went on: .

CAL AND INSPECT OUR LINE Two-year-old Victor Orsbornc Near­ ly Killed by. a Worthless Little Cur. Thursday of last week Morris Orsborne of Stony Point, went to the home of his grandmother Mrs. Syl­ vester On borne, to assist in some farm work. He was accompanied by his wife and little son Victor, about tvo years of age. They all went to the fields, leaving the little son at the house in charge of the grandmother, who is a very old lady. The little one was playing in the kitchen, while the grandmother was in the front, part of the house, when the dog attacked the little boy, biding him severely. about the head and face, and would un­ doubtedly have killed him had not help o?i)orluhely arrived and rescued the child. The kitchen was strewn with blood and looked as though some fearful tragedy bad been enacted there. Dr. C. H. Lathrop was summoned hastily from Hastings and he cauter­ ized and •dressed the wounds. The child will be somewhat disfigured, but it it is hoped not badly, and is doing as well as could be expected under the circumstances. It is not thought the dog is afflicted with rabies, but simply attacked the child in a sudden fit of anger. He will be closely watched, however, to see if any symptoms ofrabies develop, in which case the child will be taken at once to Ann Arbor for the Pasteur treatment. . This Is (be second case of similar nature which has recently happened in that vicinity, fortunately neither of them proving fatal, but it seems as though people would learn after a time that It is not safe to leave a child of tender years alone and unprotected with a dog. A good dog makes an attractive playmate for a child, but parents should be very sure that the child is not left alone with them, for they are uncertain creatures at best. TOO QUICK FOR THE DEPUTY. PrlsbnerWantcd at Hastings Makes Neat Get-Away on Electric Car. Deputy Sheriff Neal Manni of Hast­ ings was the victim of a clever escape made by a prisoner the other day on an interurban car near Chelsea. Manni had been looking for the fellow for some lime, he being wanted for contempt of court, having neglected to pay alimony awarded by Judge. Smltn in a divorce granted to a Nash­ ville lady. The officers finally got; track of the fellow and Manni droprod ; into Ypsilanti Saturday and picked ! him up, taking him on an interurban | car to go to Jackson. The car was I crowded, and as both men wanted to smoke they went out on the rear plat­ form. Al Fletcher’s crossing, just east of Chelsea, the-car they were on passed another, headed east. 'Just as the cars passed, the prisoner called Mannl’s attention to “a fine herd of cattle over there,”, and the deputy naturally turned to see the cattle. There were no cattle in sight, and when Manni looked around there was no prisoner in sight, either He finally looked after the rapidly re­ treating east-bound car, and saw the slick one waving his hand in farewell as the car disappeared in the distance. The deputy left the car and hunted up the nearest telephone to notify officers down the line to pick up the slippery customer, but up to dale they have been- unsuccessful, and Manni had to come home without him. Bet a dollar next time the ' deputy picks up that fellow he will decorate his wrists, good and plenty. SHEETS-WALKER. A beautiful wedding occurred at the home of James Walker in West Kalamo last Wednesday evening, when his daughter Lean Mae was united in marriage to Mr. Ordis Ray Sheets, one of the highly respected young men of the Battle Creek sani­ tarium. Previous to the ceremony the guests had the pleasure of hear­ ing a solo by Miss Beulah Huntoon of Olivet. Promptly al eight o’clock the wedding march was played by Miss Wilda Gorthy. Miss Alic*' Greenawalt of Charlotte and Miss Alice Gutchess as ribbon bearers led the wedding march* followed by l|ttle Aiinta Marple, acting as flower girl, the brid*e and her father, Rev. Yunger of Bellevue and the bridegroom. Miss Cecile Walker, sister of the bride, acting as bride’s maid and Mr. Floyd Smith as best man completed the wed­ ding party. . The bride was prettily attired in' a gown of cream chiffon taffeta and carried a wreath of cream white roses. After the ceremony the happy couple received the congratula­ tions of their friends and a dainty three course supper was served by Mrs. E. V. Barker, assisted by Alice Greenawalt, Beulah Huntoon, Alice Gutchess and Mildred Potter. The bride is a well known and high­ ly respected young lady in and around Nashville. The young couple bad planned well their escape by the aid of Mr. Babcock and Mr. Nicker­ son, friends of the groom, for they were well on their way before the mis­ chief makers were aware of the fact that they had given them the slip. They are spending their honeymoon with friends at Lansing and Durand. Many valuable and useful gifts were left as a token af the esteem in--which they were held. FREIGHT BRAKEMAN KILLED. Stephen A.

During tbe first half neither team va» able to score, and while they struggled desperately, the ball being first in possession of one team and then the other, neither goal was ser­ iously threatened. When play start­ ed in tbe second half, Nashville com­ menced to show the effects of a lecture from the coach, delivered with consid•ra'ble rigor during the intermission, and they took Lake Odessa down the line in much better shape. The first score came as the result of a fumble by Lake Odessa, Nashville securing the ball and taking it over for a touchdown. The taste of blood was evidently what the boys needed, for after that first score, they commenced . a series of line plays which could nok ’ be ‘ withstood by their ' opponents. Seven smashes in succession netted 35 yard*,-and the ball was taken over again, making tbe score stand ten to nothing at the end of the game, both goals being- missed. . Lake Odessa showed much more strength than when they played here last fall, and gave the boys about-as fast and furious a contest as they care to. go into. Lake Odessa will play a return game here October 14. The girls’basket ball 'team, which has been practicing faithfully since the opening of school, went Into their first contest Saturday afternoon, at Bellevue, and met defeat by a score of 15 to 7, which is not at all bad, considering that it was the first game Nashville bad ever played «and that but one. of their players had ever seen a game. They were accorded the most courteous reception and speak highly of the fair treatment they re­ ceived at the hands of their opponents. ■The Bellevue fftrl* are to play a re­ turn game here. later in the season, and the members of the Nashville team believe they will then give them a better argument.

Wesley Dun­ ham of Southwest Maple Grove ’ were coming to Nashville Saturday with nearly a wagon load of turtles which they had captured while out on a re­ cent camping trip, and which they were. intending to ship to marker. Just west of the Quailtrap school bouse they met an automobile, which failed to give hplf of the road as quickly as it might have done, so the span of fine young fnules which Ostroth was driving got out and gave all of tbe road. They did it so Quick­ ly and.so energetically that they took tn* wagon up on a stiff bank, spilling Dunham but. Then they swung back­ down the bank again and Ostroth fol-I lowed Dunham to Moilier Earth, but; pluckily hung to the reins, and al- I though ^ie wagon ran over him two | or three times and battered him up in. good shape, he succeeded in keeping them from running away. In spite of the frantic maneuvres of the mules, the wagon stayed right side up and the turtles were saved, and are by this time safe in market. For Sale—Good work leam. quire of John Offley.

Britz busied himself with ef­ forts to get a line on his direction. He was in an ordinary brougham, drawn by a pair of high-stepping horses. He was lylng^n the floor, but on a pile of rugs. The atlk scarf with which be bad been fastened had been loosed from his neck, only to be drawn tight­ ly about his mouth. A smaller strip of silk, rolled Into a ball, had been thrust between his teeth, gagging him beyond frls power to utter a cry. His wrists and ankles were bound with similar scarves. He was as helpless as If In the electric chair. His life, It might be. depended on Ms self-con­ trol and resourcefulness. In the faint light that flashed from time to time through the windows of the brougham as It whirled past park lamps. Britz saw that all three of bls captors were ark of feature and lithe of form. One moment he was con­ vinced there was something foreign In the appearance of the men. The next, he was less certain diey were not American. A hawklike sharpness of profile, however. Inclined him more strongly to the former belief. He had seen recently, he thought, a face that In such u light would resemble those bend|ng above him. As he was striv­ ing to recall It. and the circumstance surrounding It, a fourth scarf was passed about his eyes and knotted behind his head. The silken strip was light in texture, but folded so many times that he could not see the dim­ mest glimmer of llghL Britz focused bis forces on the task of ascertaining his whereabouts and direction. One, two. three blocks the brougham sped westward. Britz knew he was headed for the Hudson. Had not his blindfolding convinced bim his life was not In peril, he might have thought his captors were hurrying him to the river to make an end of him. Ho continued counting the blocks until, wheeling sharply to the right, the horses headed north, and a change In tbe sound of Iheir hoofs betrayed that they had left the as­ phalt and were on the macadam again. "The Drive!" Britz told himself with a slight glow of satisfaction. The distance traveled from the park, the change of direction, and the altered pounding of tho hlghsteppers’ hoofs could mean but one thing; the vehicle was bowling along the beautiful Riv­ erside concourse New Yorkers have come to appreciate only In recent ' ■ It was at that point Brit* made his flrat mistake of the trip. The latch of the left dooi was Jarred loose by an uneven crossing, and the detective felt the door give slightly against bls shoulder. He sensed In an eyeflaah the door bad not swung open. Prob­ ably an end of the rug had caught under It sufficiently to hold It shut. But It undoubtedly was unfastened, nd that evidently without the knowl­ edge of his captors. Had any of the hree noticed the unlatching of the loor, he would have drawn it close Im­ mediately. There was momentary langer of that. There was not a mo­ ment to spare. Britz had little time or thoughL With a powerful contorIon of his wiry frame he threw off the men above him long enough to fling himself against the door. Britz reckoned on tbe likelihood that his fall from the carriage would be seen by a patrolman—at any rate, that his attempt at escape would cause a commotion -sure to result In police Interference. He did not ex­ pect to get away .unaided; ho was bound too securely for that It was more than possible bad bruises. If not broken bones, would be among the consequences. He was willing to take that chance rather than to hazard Indefinite captivity with the great Missloner diamond mystery unsolved. In the very moment of hurling himself against the door*nothing was strong­ er In his mlfld than a yearning to see the Swum!. He felt he positively must chat with that mysterious per­ sonage about diamonds and steel safes, and ocher things. Until he made the Oriental’s acquaintance, his social development would be stunted. The detective omitted from bis reck­ oning tbe astuteness and readiness or 1 his captors. He thought the surprise binging on his desperate attempt at escape would be of sufficient duration to let him roil to the road. He was shocked mentally as well as physical­ ly, therefore, when his fall was stopped with a jerk, and die -tack of his bead struck with cruel force against the carriage step. Just for a second's flight, reinforced .steel and rubber though he was, he lost consciousness. When bis senses returned, he was in the same position—head dangling, shoulders resting against the rods of the step, back bent painfully over .the steel-shod threshold of the carriage floor, legs inside, gripped in a hold cot all hfs struggles could break. His ankles still were bound. So, for that mrtter, A-ere his wrists, with his hands behind him. The scarf bandag­ ing bls eyes had slipped partly to his Forehead, so that he could see a little; but. in his upside-down position, he could not see' the sidewalk; only the treetops and the dusk line of the Palisades were in his line of vision. The gag was fixed as firmly as ever. He tried to call for help, but the cry was smothered in his throat Then began as strange a struggle as any In which Britz had engaged in III his exciting career. The men )n the cab strove to pull him inside; he battled against their efforts. Bound though his bands were, his .fingers were twined tightly about the step rods. He had a grip on the rods as powerful as that with which, one of bls captors held his ankles. The ■crossing .of his hands to bind bls wrists bad made his hold only the firmer. All the leverage of each sinewy wrist strengthened the other. Tbe rods were so small they hurt his hands, bui unless they broke his grip could not be loosened. Britz .clutched them with an iron resolve not to be drawn into the brougham again. Safe though his life might have been at the outset be was not certain It would be secure after his daring defiance of the odds against him. He still knew noth­ ing of his captors. Even their nation­ ality was problematical, to say noth­ ing of their purpose. He felt that bls grip on the rods might be his last bold on existence—and Britz, in stage of his career, would have said he was tolerably satisfied with life. thank you! "This," said Britz to his Inner consclousness, with a touch of the grim humor his colleagues often found dis concerting, "Is hill-climbing under dif­ ficulties.” For the coachman. In spite of—perhaps because of—the silent struggle going on furiously at the door of the cab, had whipped his horses to a gallop, and was speeding .them up a slope. Over the edge of the scarf that had slipped from his eyes. Britz got a glimpse of the Boldlerb* and Sailors' monument He knew exactly where he was then. Next moment his eyes fastened themselves on the faces in tho carriage, and he tried with all his might to make out the dark features of the three in the gloom of the cab; but their features still were shadowy. He would not have liked to pick them out of a line In a police station. It was a point of honor with the lieutenant always to be sure ol bls man before making an Identifica­ tion. In part, that accounted for the failure of almost every defendant in any of his cases to establish an alibi Lean bands stretched forth from the dark Interior and caught him about the middle. Other hands seized his legs, while the pair clutching his ankle tightened their grasp, but he only twined bis fingers the more firm­ ly around their slight circumference. By now the carriage was rolling and pitching like a seagoing tug. Had bo not been held so stoutly by the six lean hands above, and his own iron clutch below, the motion might have swung his head against tbe step again with force to crack it lu a dozen places. The very fury of the battle made for his safety. The horses struck a slope that took them out of the Drive. Britz guessed they could not go far without encoun­ tering a policeman. If they did not meet a mounted patrolman or a bicy­ cle bluecoat in the avenue, it was al­ most certain they would strike, an ordinary policeman In one ef fhe by­ streets. Britz chewed the gag savage­ ly In the hope of freeing his voice. Finding the bandage too tight to force It out of his mouth, he tried to swal­ low the silken ball Inside bls teeth. Gulp as he might, his reversed posl tlon distressed him so he could not get the ball behind bis tongue. And, or {ft. roraMft. ud bclor. bl. m.tlo coulfi-<ecover from the shock. th< sway of tie-brougham swung him clear of the rods. Then, by the united strength of tbe three Inside, he was' Jerked upward, and dragged with a single tug into the carriage. The door was slammed, and the coachman brought his horses back to their high stepping trot. Suddenly they slowed to a walk. . . "What’s wrong here?" asked a voice at the Window. "Hallo, Rafferty," said the driver with the easy familiarity of a night­ hawk toward the rank and file of the force. "Just a bunch of drunks I’m taking to their lltfle white cots,*’ he added In an undertone. . A patrolman pressed his . face against the pane and looked inside. Already, the three dark, slender men who had kidnapped the detective were lolling and nodding in a way sug­ gestive of safe but satisfied intoxica­ tion. Britz, trussed more securely than ever, was under their feet, well out of the polloeinan’s range. "They'rB sure a fine lot of rum­ mies!" exclaimed the bluecoat to bls friend, the coachman.

It was just then that Britz made his second mistake. He breathed too deeply. True, be was blown sadly by the desperate struggle os he hung beaddown from the vehicle and bls lungs bad almost stopped working when he was Jerked so violently back Into the carriage. The air near the floor was cool and refreshing. No ordinary man would have hesitated to renew his strength by drawing it as far down Into his lungs as the cramped position would permit; but Britz him­ self, In cooler moments, would have observed sagely that alt Itself was not always an unmixed blessing. He would have told inquiring minds that, under suspicious circumstances, it should be taken with caution and, If possible, should be well shaken be­ fore taken. In this instance, the air Britz breathed was mixed with a sub­ tle something that gradually stole his senses and left him, though healthily alive, an inert heap under the feet of his captors. So potent, so gentle was the action of that straltge something that the stoppage of the carriage, the lifting from its floor of the Inanimate detec­ tive, the carrying of bis limp form up darkened stairs In dead silence to a room at the remote end of a suite at the top of the building, and that which happened to the headquarters man as, sodden with the subtle so­ porific, he remained nt the mercy of tho strangers three, were things Britz for many a long day could only guess.

Clever Traveling ’Man who Gave Officers Slip, Capturcdand Com­ pelled to Settle Alimony. Why Wobble? F. Fugene Baker, divorced husband of Mrs. Etta Maude Baker of this village, whb cleverly gave Deputy Sheriff Manni the slip recently on the interurban^ar between Ypsilanti and Jackson, failed to improve his gold­ en opportunity to make bis future home in Canada, and was picked up by an officer at Ypsilanti last Thurs­ day. Sheriff Ritchie was notified and went down after him, bringing .him back on the noon train Friday. The sheriff tookjao chances of his prisoner making another get-away , but had him in irons and kept close watch of him. He was taken to Hastings, where on Saturday he laid down' $2,250 in coin of the realm and was allowed to take his departure. He didn’t wave his hand in fatpweli to the sheriff, either. When Mrs. Bake¥ was granted a divorce from, her husband some time sincp, the court awarded her $3,000 alimony, but Baker, who did not de­ fend the suit, failed to come across with the money. Not only that, but he kept out of the way so that papers could not be served on him. Recently, however, apparently in a feeling of fancied security, he has been making various visiuto this section, and was finally picked up, as told by The News last week, charged with con­ tempt of court. His liberty, after giving the officers the slip,' proved short-lived, and he was brought into court Saturday. Seeing there was no other ’way out of it, be finally loosened his purse-strings and made a settlement of the matter. Baker is a successful traveling salesman, carrying a line of furniture on commission, from several firms, and is reported to be in good shape financially, owning, real estate in Ypsilanti and Detroit. /J MONTH ago you had it in mind to start an account with this bank.

The Baptist congregation of Nash­ ville is in mourning on account of the departure of their loved pastor. Rev. Walter S. Reed, and his estimable wife, who left on the early train Mon­ day morning for Los Angeles, Cali­ fornia. Mr. Reed's health has not been as rugged as it might have for some time past, and he feared the rigor of another Michigan winter. Consequently he decided to go to Cal­ ifornia, where he hopes that the more salubrious climate will prove bene­ ficial. Mr. Reed preached his farewell ser­ mon Sunday evening, and the other pastors of the village paid him the courtesy of abandoning their evening services for that evening. The chapel was well filled with the friends of the popular pastor, and his farewell words were listened to with marked atten­ tion. A farewell reception' was tendered Mr. and Mrs. Reed Friday evening at the home of Mr. and Mrs. B. B. Braden, which was well attended, and those present left substantial tokens of their regard for the pastor and his wife. Outside friends of Mr. Reed also gave a substantial evidence of their sincere regard for him as a man as well as a preacher. The members of the Baptist congre­ gation are joined by a host of others in hoping that the sunny clime of the coast may prove beneficial to Mr. Reed's health, and that he may return in the near future weighing, as he says he will, two hundred nounds.

The steam ditching machine which Contractor Southworth is using to dig the trenches for the sewers in district No. 2, is an interesting piece of ma­ chinery. It was started working Sat­ urday, and until noon, when the gang quit work for the week, was surround­ ed all*the lime by a crowd of people watching the dirt being removed from the trenches. The machine is a trac­ tion engine, which can be set to move a certain number of inches to the min­ ute. Following behind Is a set of ele­ vator buckets," On an endless belt, which cuts a trench as cleanly as you could imagine, and carries the dirt up to another endless belt carrier, which deposits it several feet away from the trench, to avoid the danger of the extra weightreaving the trench. Tbe digging elevator can be adjusted to cut any desired depth, and tbe engine can l>e set so that the machine will cut 36 inches per minute. For the work here, the machine is set for 13 inches per minute, as that is as fast as lite sewer tile can be laid. In fact, even at this rate of speed, the machine is not kept running all of the time, as the men can not keep up with it. Tbe machine is now working on the outlet, starting at Howell & Hicks’ black­ smith shop and working east on Reed street. This is Contractor Southworth’s last job at this kind of work, as he has taken a position with the Jack­ son automobile company and will go to the coast. NOTICE.

New York, Oct. 3.—Rear Admiral Schley, hero of the battle of Santiago, dropped dead from apoplexy on the street here. His death came just a week after the publication of ad­ vanced sheets ot Admiral F. E. Chad­ wick's history of the Spanish-American war, in which Schley is completely exonerated for making the famous “loop," that “loop" now being shown as the “brilliant maneuver*' of tbe bat­ tle, and the maneuver that accom­ plished the defeat of the Spanish fleet The admiral was apparently in per­ fect health a short time before he fell upon the street oa Fifth avenue and Forty-fourth street and died before a doctor could be summoned. Admiral Schley, the man who smashed the Spanish fleet at Santiago, was one of the leading figures In the American navy for a generation. He was born in Frederick county, Mary­ land, In 1839. After graduating at An­ napolis In 1860 and serving during the Civil war in minor capacities, he was commissioned in 1866 as lieu­ tenant commander. In 1884 he volunteered' and was placed in command of the expedition sent to search tne north polar region for Lieutenant (now Rear Admiral) Fads for Weak Women Nine-tenths of all the aickneea of women b due to some derangement or dis­ ease of tbe organs distinctly feminine.

Greely. xnd his companions, who had been lost from civilization for nearly two years, and tbe finding ot them In a state of exhaustion and abou^ to die constituted one of the; dramatic incidents in arctic exploration. At the outset of the Spanish war, in 1898. Admiral Schley was placed in command of what was known as the “flying squadron." On July 4, 1898, Cervdra undertook to escape from Santiago harbor. At the time Sampson, aboard his. flagship, tbe New York, was some" miles away, at Siboney, tn conference with General Shafter, who commanded the land forces. An engagement followed, in which Schley's flagship; the Brooklyn, took an active part, and the Spanish fleet was destroyed. It was here that the famous loop was- made. It resulted in a court of Inquiry after the war. While Schley was exonerated, the finding did not settle the controversy in tbe mlrids of the public, which was divided In 'support of. Sampson and Schley, the Sampson adherents believing Schley's “loop" was an act of cowardice and that the admiral ran away from bat­ tle.

Spokane, Wash., Oct. 3.—Aviator Cromwell Dixon, who flew across the Rocky mountains last Saturday, fell from a height of 100 feet at the Inter­ state fair grounds here and received injuries which caused bis death. Caught by an adverse current of air, Dixon’s machine turned on its side and plunged Into a rocky railroad cut. While falling, Dixon plucklly attempt­ ed to right his aeroplane, and shouted to the spectators: “Here I go! Here I go!" He was picked up unconscious and rushed to a hospital, where it was found that his skull was fractured, his right leg broken and his collar bone shattered, so that a portion of it pro­ truded through the flesh.

OcL 3.—Senator Isaac Stephenson told the special investigat­ ing committee of the senate that he had practically no personal knowledge of the ways in which money was ex­ pended In his campaign for the sen­ atorial nomination In 1908. Tbe senator said all he knew about It was that he drew cbecks for gill,385.49 during tbe campaign and that 8107,793.05 was reported to him to have been expended. Meat of this amount, he said, was paid to J. H. Puellcher of Milwaukee and J. A. Van Cleve of Marinette, two bankers who acted as treasurers of the campaign fund. Mr. Puellcher and Ar. Van Cleve were authorized to pay out the money as directed by E. A. Edmonds of Ap­ pleton, the campaign manager. Mr. Edmonds testified regarding the distribution of tbe expeditures and asserted he paid 82,500 to J. W. Stone, at that time state game warden, under Instructions from Mr. Stephenson. He further said he knew nothing about the reasons which caused three Demo­ crats to absent themselves on the day of Mr. Stephenson’s election as sen­ ator. • g°°d—that** our id** too- Everything else comet when you get quality.

He wan not a Sandow, but he had abundance of pliant and eervlcoabld strength. After many minutes passed In vain efforts to free himself, he re­ laxed hlz body and limba for a abort but complete root, meanwhile bending biz mind to the task of determining where he was. The result ot his men­ tal endeavor wae as fruitless as the other. All he knew at th® end of It was that he lay on a bare floor In a room which, from the sound of his heels on the boards, he judged was small. That thought suggested to him a means of summoning help other than vocal. Ho began drumming on tbe boards with his heels. It was tiring work, for hla ankles were held so close that, with hla feet' beating in alternation, ■he could not make much nolae. To make a sound likely to carry far, he bad to raise and lower hla heels to­ gether—an achievement that sounds easy until onebastrieddotng.lt many times. • With all hts endurance he could not keep it up tor many mlnuutes at a stretch. In the Intervals he a trained bls bearing for a response. • None came. Britz rolled qver on hla face. As hla handa were tied behind hla back, hla chin rested on the floor, and ho bad little leverage by which to lift himself. Several times he tried to rise to his knees, only to slip and bruise his face on the hard floor. Those mishaps were painful, but not discouraging to a man of Britz’ reso­ luteness. Again and again he made the attempt; again and again he failed, but at last, with a mighty heave that left him panting, he raised himself by a catapult movement and sat back on his heels, waiting to catch bls breath. It was a harder task to get on bis feet He could not do it In the middle of tbe floor. Slowly, Carefully, he worked bls way on bls knees to tbe wall, against which he braced himself. Then, bit by bit, be bent his feet for­ ward In a demilune until hla weight was on knees and toea. His progroHS was as painful as It was slow, for tbe Mik scarf compelled bls ankles to bend in unison, if at all. and even when be bad bent his toes to the requisite point It was a great strain to keep them there. The detective, after a brief pause to gather hla strength, set bis shoul­ der against the wall and threw aB his force into a single, vigorous push. The movement almost threw him to the floor again, but .he recovered his poise quickly and stood erect. For a few moments he was content to revel in tbe relaxation that was so welcome after his long continuance in a cramped and prostrate position. Then a second’s forgetfulness, natural enough to one accustomed to his free­ dom of movement, almost undid the work of the last half hour. He tried to step away from the wall, oblivious to the scarf that bound his ankles, and pitched forward heavily. He did not fall to the floor, however, for something sharp and hard stopped him. He found himself wedged be­ tween a metallic framework and the wall. A venomous hiss and the con­ tact of his bound' bands with hot metal told him he had fallen on a steam radiator, and as the hissing sound increased he guessed the shock had broken the little safety valve close to the top of the curved pipes. If the detective’s position had been perilous before It was extra hazard­ ous now. He was gripped in the jaws formed by the rediator and the wall, and neither hands nor feet at liberty, it seemed next to Impossible for him to free himself. He kicked and strug­ gled furiously, the hiss of the steam constantly growing loader, and in hts endeavor to escape, he bent for­ ward until bls face was scalded by tbe rushing steam. The pain of that mis­ hap aided him. however, for the in­ voluntary recoil It caused culminated in a final effort that loosed the grip In which he was he?d and sent him staggering in a series of two-footed hops along the wall. Bracing his shoulders once more against the wall, Britz began another series of vigorous attempts to break the silken scarves, or to slip out of them. Exerting all his strength, he strained alternately at wrist and ankles, and ground between hts teeth the little bah of silk that blocked his voice. But it was all to no purpose. His captors knew their trade, and the clinging bonds, while yielding, did not give at any point sufficiently to set tbe sleuth at liberty. Suddenly a thought, swift and keep as a saber flash, clove Its way straight through his perplex­ ity. That which imperiled his life should give him liberty. He riuled along the wall until he stood beside the radiator at the end away from the safety valve. Pressing against th® edge of the metal the scarf that hekl his hands, be began swinging himself from side to side. The corrugated edge of the ornamental ironwork served rs a saw. and although more than once the man gasped as clouds of steam whirled about his head, tn fewer minutes th«B would seem prob able tbe metallic edge gnawed its way through tbe silk, and the kerchief sngle of the baseboard, Lieutenant Brits Laughed softly as with busy fin* gers he loosed the scarf about his ankles, snatched tbe gag from his mouth, and, with a single shake of his -shoulders that rippled the kinks out Of his cramped muscles, strode to the window and flung up th® sash. One deep Intake of good, coltfealr, then half a dosen more, and he felt as fit as if he had not been dos® to a distressing and altogether Ignominious end. Ho gripped the sill and loaned far out, looking first downward, then all around in quest of a landmark. There were not many lights on that side of the building, but a faint gleam in the depths enabled him to judge that ho was about at.the tenth story, and that the building was in an unfrequented uptown street Withdrawing his head he pressed the button of a pocket elec­ trio torch and explored the room. From the style of its finish It evident­ ly was a section of an unoccupied apartment in a new and rather pre­ tentious building, a room planned to be cut off from the rest of the suite, for it seemed to give directly on tho hall and was separated from its neigh­ bor by a fireproof door of massive steel. He seized the handle. . It turned readily, but tbe door did not open. The name was true of th® door between the room and the hall. He shook both doors with all his strength, but they had been locked too stoutly to yield. It was apparent the kidnappers had made him a pris­ oner in full knowledge of the unlike­ lihood he would be released speedily. That they had plotted his death was not certain, but it was unmistakable they had given themselves little, If any, concern in that respect. Britz thought of the possibilities of fire as he had lain bound on the floor, and an unpleasant sensation patsod over him; but he hastened back to th® window and examined the outside of the building with a view to escape in that direction. He did not expect to overtake his abductors quickly, nor was he even of a mind to devote th® bulk of hla time to that purpose. But he regarded the capture of his recent captors, as an Important side enter­ prise to the solution of the great dia­ mond mystery, and habit made him eager to begin working without delay. There was a fire escape on the floor whence he looked out—a thoroughly modern contrivance with flat steps, and a really serviceable handrail—but it did not run to the window at ?rhlcb be stood. However, Britz had more than one attribute of the lynx, and it did not tax his agility 'greatly to reach tbe balcony while still gripping the window frame securely, and, with one quick movement, to swing hint­ self over the ladder rail. It was the work of a minute or two to run down the easy steps to the first floor above the street and, from that point, he had only a short drop to the sidewalk. He strolled In a casual way to the front of the, big apartment building, which looked toward the Hudson, and noting its location, quickened his pace, walking south until he came to a cab stand. He gave a chauffeur the nun> her of the Swami's house, jumped Into a taxicab and continued his course in a southerly direction, the driver Ln obedience to bls instructions wheeling east nt Seventy-second street and burning into the park. CHAPTER XIII. Interviewing the Swami. While Britz was speeding south­ ward in the taxicab two men were in tbe midst of animated discussion in the Swami’s room. They were th® scholar himself and his up-iodate friend. Prince Kananda. The prince had arrived in the gloom-enshrouded house only a few minutes before. He ■had uttered several short, sharp sen­ tences big with interest that bad stirred tbe Swami from the repos® usual to the Oriental priest. It was evident that Kananada expected a re­ sponsive remark from bls friend, and that the Swami, feeling the obligation, was weighing his words before utter­ ance. "Nothing of the slightest Interest to us was found,” said Kananda, evident­ ly tn repetition. He had seen a skep­ tical expression sptead over toe Swami's bronze face, and anticipated an Inquiry. "The search was thorough?" asked the scholar. "My dear old chap.” said the Prince, "is it likely we would go to such ex­ traordinary lengths without being most painstaking in that respect? A speck of diamond dust could not hav® escaped us." A slow smile gleamed through tho mask that comprised the scholar'® features. Mock deference colored his manner as, taking the mouthpiece of the Oriental pipe from between his Ups and tossing the lube over to the divan, be arose and paced tbe length of the room. "Far be It from thy . servant, O Prince.’ be Said with palpable sar­ casm. "to question the method put* *ued by so illustrious a personage; whom It was worth your distinguished while to search.” Th® Prince wee dumfounded. He circled the tabl®, fished In bls pocket for a cigarette, rolled It abetractedly between his thumb and middle linger, lighted It, and then watched the Inscutable features of him whom for so many years he had called "master." “la It possible?” he exclaimed at tion to the task, too! I Instructed AU explicitly, and I ordered him to see that the men who aided him should be among the shrewdest and most praiseworthy of our followers. All had tracked the man for days. He said be was sb famlUar with his face as with that of hla own father. How could they have been mistaken?” “Easily enough," said the Swami. "Tho men went into Mrs. Mlssioner's home about the same time. There is a slight resemblance in their general build, and—tho wrong man came outl" "Then we hare lost twelve hours," said Kananda. ' "You have lost more than that,” said the priest, "—opportunity. These Occidentals are singularly fraternal. It is not probable that the man you searched will let the other go un­ warned.” The Prince tossed his cigarette Into the fire, and with the springing glide of a panther, and as silently, crossed to the string of oongs that hung oppo- ^ALCOHOL 3 PER CRRT.

TIME CARD-™ GOING EAST 12.36 8:47 12:20 5:44 Mb — LAND, AT Rome, Sept 30.—Italy declared war against Turkey and immediately oc­ cupied Tripoli after a naval battle, in which tbe Turks were signally, de­ feated. Italian forces were landed at Tripoli after having shelled the place sn hour and a half, and took posses­ sion of the town, the Turkish troops withdrawing to the interior. During tbe bombardment two barges from the Italian transports were sunk.

Only one big Turkish ship Is Moved to have escaped. Tho Italian fleet will occupythe __ whole coast from Tripoli through to Derna. The military expedition is to be dispatched as rapidly as possible. The declaration of war came sud­ denly. It broke-'Off negotiations for a peaceful occupation of Tripoli. An official statement from the foreign of­ fice says that Turkey’s reply to Italy's ultimatum was not peremptory, as was demanded, but was evasive and dila­ tory, In regard to the question of occu­ pation Blockade Arranged Quickly. As soon as tbe ultimatum was de­ livered the Italian fleet established a blockade off the coast of Triopll and no Turkish steamer is able to enter. The present mission of the fleet is to prepare everything for landing the army corps, which is commanded by Genera] Caneva. If the Italian sub­ jects are molested by Turkey the fleet will extend'Its area of operation. If the Turkish warships attempt action, a strong Italian squadron will be sent to deal with them. Italians Wax Enthusiastic. Utmost enthusiasm prevails in Italy. There are war demonstrations tn all towns and the people inarching in pro­ cessions, singing the national songs. The Turkish charge d’affaires has received his passports to the frontier and left for home. The pope has ordered all churchmen to offer fervent prayers for success to the Italian arms. Italians Flee From Turkey. Tfiic Italian residents In Constanti­ nople have received orders to close Millionaire Kenosha The government has decided to en­ force martial law in Constantinople for the present ' Reply Is Unsatisfactory. • The official declaration of war aaid that tbe two countries were in a state of war at the hour at which the Italian ultimatum to Turkey expired and fol­ lowed a session of tbe cabinet at which the Turkish reply was consid­ ered and found unsatisfactory. It is understood that the Ottoman government completely conceded Italy’s economic claims in Tripoli, but evaded the direct answer demanded by that government, which has set forth in Its ultimatum that Turkey must say she would not resist the pro­ posed occupation of Tripoli and Cyrene. Instead, the porte sent a conciliatory note, suggesting further delay. Turkey Appeals to Powers. It was known that at the same time Turkey transmitted a note to the powers. In which it is assumed that she represented herself as the Injured party and, by Inference at least, sought their Intervention. Tbe Italian government decided to stand absolutely by the ultimatum and in the absence of the reply called for to declare Italy and Turkey in a state of war from the hour that the .ultima­ tum of twenty-four hours expired. This action was taken in spiU of the fact that the Turkish heir appar­ ent, who recently visited King Victor Emmanuel bearing the congratulations of his country on the occasion of the Italian jubilee asked the Italian mon­ arch to Intervene and prevent a war HJLEnnONEWAR and Boutbem glad Jewelry Into Country.

Every­ thing yon can tell me about India la sure to Interest our readers." , "If I am to tell you everything about India," said the Swami, "we may as well make ourselves comfort­ able.” . . He signed to All again, and, rising with much dignity, he placed a chair at the disposal of his visitor. "Tbe East Is a pretty big subject,” said the Swami, and then he spent many Yulnutea sketching Oriental ways and thoughts for the entertain­ ment of his vbltor. To follow him would be to recapitulate tjie history of Hlndostan from centuries - before the British InvasionL When he had finished, Britz knew enough about In­ dia to fill the pages ol all the Sunday, papers of New York; but this was not what the detective wanted. "Your women evidently lead a pret­ ty secluded life," he said, "but I sup­ pose they have their compensations— their music, embroidery, delicacies, gems—by the way. Swami, jewels fig­ ure largely tn your religion, don’t they?" The same Inscrutable gleam again flickered in the eyes of the scholar. "It would be difficult to make you understand In what way they dd, he aaswered. "In the ordinary commer­ cial sense, they do not We of India care less for the Intrinsic value of the beautiful jewels which you of the West characterize as precious stones. They are precious us, but In a dif­ ferent way. We love them lor their loveliness—not merely for their bril­ liance and cost To us, there |s a world of metaphysical meaning in the lambent, glow of a ruby, or the Im­ prisoned rainbow of a diamond. An emerald to us b the spirit of the sea —the spirit of the water itself; just as the pearl suggests that other world on the floor of the deep. Jewels, as we see them, are the crystallized ex­ pression of divine emotions. Diamonds are the tears of Buddha—pearls so many drops of wisdom from his lips, and sapphires the heavenly asplrations of hb thoughts. What to the Occident means profit, to us meant poetry." "Some of your jewels are, say, a great deal more Important than others; for example, the Kohlnoor. Has that no larger value than the or­ dinary stone in your eyes?*’ "Only so far as It is connected with the traditions of our faith,” said the Swami. "Diamonds there are in In­ dia, one hundred of which wculd not make a Kohlnoor. yet each a thou­ sand times more ptecloua to true be­ lievers. Wars have been fought, races exterminated for gems less beau­ tiful than those which many of the minor women of your public stage can boast They have a meaning impos­ sible of comprehension to the Western mind." "And do Hindoos of your generation set as much store by that sort of thing as your ancestors did?" asked Britz. “The faith of the East Is .Immut­ able," the Swami replied. "Centuries roll by, but we change noL Nations have broken themselves to shreds in efforts to shake ths stability of our land and people. What was true betore your Prophet left the carpenter’s bench to true to-day." “Now, do you know," said Britz, vl variously, "all this interests me very much, and will make a cracking good story for 'The Times.’ Fancy a whole people—how many millions did you say?—so wrapped up in gems that would not fill a showcase in a Malden Lane Jewelry shop, that they are will­ ing to sacrifice their very lives for them!” . Brits threw all hia skill as a ques­ tioner into drawing Trom the Bwaml descriptions of the more famous jew­ els of India, deftly keeping the line of his Interrogations on the subject of diamonds. The Hindoo, hb entire personality an eloquent ezpresslon ol the Indolence of the Bast, was alike luxuriant in hb narghlleh and in rem­ iniscences of the sacred gems that had idorned the temples of hb faith from Delhi to Benares. Slowly, dreamily, mystically, stories came from hb lips of greed and piety, deeds of daring xnd romance, statecraft and Intrigues, until Britz became so Interested that for a time even his trained, vigilant mind lost sight of the purpose that had animated all hia actions since the day he learned that the famous Mb-loner necklace was missing. When the Easterner ended hb string of tales, many of them replicas In miniature of the Arabian Nights, and of still more thrilling Oriental legends, the Headquarters man had an ex­ haustive knowledge of all the great diamonds in the history of HlndostaD. "Your marvelous gems are not the Swami. "But the Kohlnoor, the Light ot Calcutta, the Dawn of the World, and similar stonea defy the best efforts of your artificers. In them nature has wrought masterpieces of glory no human plagiarist can repro­ duce.** "Not even In Paris?" inquired the visitor. "There Is a good deal of talk just now, you know, about the theft of ^ society woman's diamonds. You know she discovered that paste dia­ monds were substituted, and I under­ stand the central Jewel was one of exceptional size.** "Neither Paris, no? Venice, nor yet Stamboul can manufacture colorable imitations of such a stone,*’, insisted the Swami. "Imitations, that Is to say, that would deceive anyone with the crudest knowledge.” "But the Maharanee wks'undoubted­ ly copied." pursued Britz. "If you have read the newspapers, you know It was Through the discovery of that fact that Mrs. Mlsaloner learned her necklace had been stolen.” 1 . All the’ cordiality of the Swami van* tohed. He seemed to wrap himself in the Impenetrable dignity of his caste, and he dismissed tbe subject with the conclusive remark of his race, "I have apoken.” In spite of the most adroit efforts of bls visitor, and despite Inter­ rogations direct and Indirect, he could not bo Induced to discuss the subject Britz, somewhat baffled, finally led thp conversation Into other channels by bethinking himself of his role In time to ask the Swami the purpose and probable length of his stay in New York. "I have no objection to telling you," answered the priest, “that I am here to spread the propaganda, to turn the lamp of the true faith upon ths gloom of your Western civilization.'' He con­ tinued. “Yes, I am making prose­ lytes! I am conducting gatherings of seekers after the Light, and I am in­ structing all who come to me with open minds and honest hearts." Britz picked up his hat and coat with a reluctant air, and took leave of the Oriental with not over-profuse ex­ pressions of gratitude for his recep­ tion. Tbe scholar struck the gong, the Hindoo servant appeared in the farther doorway, and In a few seconds xhe faint echoes of the visitor's foot­ steps ended In the quiet closing of the street door. Kananda, with a carriage akin to the swagger ot the English Guards­ man, re-entered the room and looked at the Swami quizzically. "You need not put yourself to the trouble of looking through the Sunday papers,” said the Swami. "There will be nothing about tills interview In 'The Times.'” "No?” returned Kananda. ”1 heard the reporter say he wanted the facts for the next issue of his Sunday sup­ plement." "He Is not Interested Id supple­ ments," replied the priest, "sequels are his specialty. When he Interests himself in a story he begins at the ‘continued* line. He Is not a report The Prince looked at him Inquiring"Nor b he the man Ail should have searched.” continued the sage. "He is —one of the cleverest detectives In New York—Britz, of Headquarters!" Brits, of Headquarters, did not waste any time In gloating over the result of hta Interview with the Brah­ min. Id the first place, he did not con­ sider that he had scored anything like a signal victory. He knew enough of the subtleties of the Orient to be aware that such grains of truth as had come to him in the Swami's an­ swers had been merged into a volum­ inous fabric of mendacity—well, call It diplomacy—and that.to winnow out the few facts vouchsafed tn him was a task for the cloistered seclusion of hia own room, supplemented by the silent help of many books of refer­ ence. But he was ready to take ft for granted that the Brahmin bad spoken truly in regard to the difficulty of im­ itating diamonds of great else. There was no question the Maharanee had been copied; bow closely be could not say, as be had unfortunately never had a glimpse of the false stone. The questions that gtmleted their way Into hb brain were: "Where was the copy­ course, correlatively, by whom was It done? It was a busy quarter of an hour Detective-Lieutenant Britz passed in his Mulberry Street office. Awaiting him was a cablegram from Logan, saying briefly he want trailing all the workmen who had taken part In the manufacture of the paste Missioner necklace, and that none of them bad eft Paris. Brito frowned slightly aa he raad the message, then with a heavy founatn pen that fairly raced over the pa­ per, and, addressing his far-away aaitotant by his cable word, he wrote: "Logan. Paris. Was Maharanee -nade there, too?” Brito tapped a bell and leaked up as •leadquarters patrolman opened the “Rush thia down to the Western "Sho’w Wm in.” said Brits after a fleece at the name; and, as hU vialtor entered, he swung his feet from the desk, advancing halfway to the door, and extended bin hand cordially. "How do you do, doctor?" he said. "I hope I see you cheerful.” A wan smile brake the fixity of tbe doctor's countenance • for an Instant, and be shook his head slightly. ”1 don’t see how there can be any cheer for me," he said, "as long as .that poor girl Is a prisoner In the Tombs. When are we going to get her out?" "I know just how you feel about it, . doctor,” said Britz sympathetically, "but you’ll have to leave that In my hands for the present Mbs Holoomb must stay where she la awhile Iongdr.” "But surely.” persisted the physlIclan. "ft cannot be necessary to leave her there forever to establish her In­ nocence. You know she Is guiltless; I know It; Mra. Mlsaloner knows It, and It would not take much to bring all her acquaintances to the same "Now, let us talk,” said Britz. "You and I have fenced long enough along this line; let's get down to business. You know something about chemistry, that’s certain. Do you know enough about It to tell me whether any prog­ ress has been made, in recent years Id^ tite manufacture^ of paste Jewels?" “Can't.say I* do! haven't been much Interested In that line until thia out­ rageous attempt to prove Miss Hol­ comb a—thief." "Well, it’s about time you did,” said Britz meaningly. “I don’t see what good It to to a girl to have an M. D. for a lover If he can't be of any more use to her In a case of this sort than Binks of the Hardware Club, or Jenks of the Retail Grocers’ Association. Now, you know how these fobs gems ore made, don't you?" "I know pretty well." and Fitch gave him the formula with which the mlnuie men of the jewel trade were familiar for purposes of self-protec­ tion. "Well. I’m quite free to tell you," continued Britz, "that the whole ques­ tion of Mbs Hplcbrnb's stay In the Tombs depends on our success in find­ ing out who made the Maharanee dia­ mond. I know who turned out the other stones—had Logan over there for several weeks In Paris, you know." The detective then sketched rapidly for Fitch the detailed information sent to him by bls assistant across tbe wa­ ter. "But I cannot get a line on the Maharane* diamond. I've been over every place In this neck of woods—in fact, I’ve gone over the whole country with a fine-tooth comb. I’ve had every important city in Europe canvassed, and the sum-total of all these inquiries is that nobody knows any live man who could make an Imitation of the real Maharanee anything like good enough to deceive Simple Simon. Now, you Just get that scientific think­ ing apparatus of yours going, and help me puzzle out the problem. We know there was a fake Maharanee diamond. It was ground to pieces under Gris­ wold's heel In Mra. Mlsslonerb opera box. It was picked up by a man from the Orient—thb Swami—whatever hb name la, the sort of combination priest and scholar who says he's here to spread the propaganda of tbe Buddhist faith among the elect of New York society. Sands saw the diamond; Mbs March saw It; Griswold saw It, and, of course, Mra. Mlsaloner herself had It In her own hand. Thera to do doubt about Its existence. In fact. showed Fitch a flake of the tabe dia­ mond. "But you don’t know, and I don't know what we have both got to know, and that to who made it, where it was made, by whom was It made, why was It made, and for whom was It made? The sooner we work out that end of the game, my dear young man, the better ft will be for that lit tie girl up in Centre Street" The doctor's eyebrows began to contract There was a peculiarity In the facial gesture. Something wan going on in hb scientifically Inquiring mind. The brows drew together until their separate lines curved into tbe form of a minute interrogation point; little knobs of skin gnarled under the bristles; his eyes focused until they almost crossed. He clasped hb hands behind hb head and studied the cell­ ing. A rather long silence followed. Smoke spiraled from the detective’s cigar and eddied upward.

ANNOUNCEMENT. To the Republican voters of Bar­ ry county, I wish to announce that the report, .which I understand is widely circulated in this county, to the effect that I would not be a can­ didate for the nomination for the office of Register of Deeds on the Republican ticket is an error. How this report became circulated I am unable to state as I have never declared myself not a candidate, in fact it has been my intention ever since I made the trial four years ago to enter again in 1912. And I take this opportunity to announce my candidacy for the nomination to the office of Register of Deeds of Barry County. I wish to thank the voters for their favor in the past and solicit your support in the future. Very truly yours, • Earl B. Townsend. Dated. Nashville, Mich., Oct. 15, 1911 ADVERTISED LETTERS.

Oversmith, has shown signs of becoming mentally unbalanced. Several weeks ago he was taken to the psychopathic ward at Ann Ar­ bor for treatment, and for some lit­ tle time afterward seemed to show Improvement, so that he was allow­ ed to return home and has been giv­ en his liberty. During the week of the Barry County fair, he gave signs of returning aberration and his fam­ ily became much worried over his condition, but he was still allowed his liberty until Wednesday of last week, when he was taken into cus­ tody. His father and brother went to Hastings in the morning to advise with the officials in regard to the matter, and as soon as they had tak­ en the train Robert took the horse and buggy and disappeared. He drove to Prairieville to see a young lady friend, and there was where he was found Wednesday by .Officers Manni and Maynard of Hastings. They took him to Hastings, where he was examined in the probate court and was committed to the state hos­ pital at Kalamazoo, where it is hoped that a course of treatment will prove beneficial. He Is a young man who has always had the respect and esteem of a large circle of friends, and his misfortune brings to him and his family the sympathy of all. ■ FINE ENTERTAINMENT COURSE. The announcement of the Nash­ ville Entertainment course for the coming season will be made in The News next week. The club has been successful in booking some exceptionally fine numbers this sea­ son. among them being two num­ bers which made a big hit with Nashville people last year, namely Dr. W. T. Sherman Culp and the Townsend Concert Co. Three oth­ er equally good numbers are assur­ ed. so that the course this season promises to be if anything more sat­ isfactory than ever before. Rea­ lizing that the people have more time for such entertainments after the holidays, the course will not be started until after Christmas, th^ first number coming on December 27. Watch for the announcement next week, and be prepared to speak tor your tickets when called upon by the committee. SEWER NEARLY COMPLETED. The new sewer system in district two is nearly finished, with the ex­ ception of about one hundred feet at the outlet, which is held up by the high water, caused by the heavy rain of Monday night. The work­ men had a hot race with the water, working right along through the pouring rain, while the river was ris­ ing nearly two inches an hour, but they could not get it completed. Contractor Southworth has appar­ ently done a good job and has done it in short order. As soon as the river gets down to normal, so that the outlet can be completed, the peo­ ple In that district will be as well fixed for sewerage as those in the first district. NEW STORE OPEN. M. L.

This method Is usually spoken of as green manuring. It consists of the planting and growing of a crop to plow under before it has reached ma­ turity. The crops most commonly used for the purpose are: Oats. Corn iowu broadcast or drilled with ordinary drill at Um rate of a bushel per acre, and sometimes a comblna- In tome sections c< the country thia purpose. These are used much tn soils of the central states. The hairy or winter retch is some•ometlmw used. At the present time the hairy vetch is being used with marked success on some of the light­ er lands of western Michigan. the fall or late summer. The others conditions for the several crops will permit T1 s rate of sowing is usually a lit­ tle heavier than that employed tn growing crops for grain or seed. Some difficulties are sometimes met with tn the plowing under of the drop. Where it is dense, it is sometimes nec­ essary to use a roller upon II before attempting to plow, care, being token tc roll It In the same direction as the plowing Is to be done. It is also time­ times necessary to place upon the plow a chain or some other means to insure the complete covering of the tops of the crop. Two dangers are to be guarded against. It is not always that the green manure crop Is allowed to ap­ proach maturity, but however thia may be, If the succeeding crop is to be planted Immediately after the green manure crop Is plowed under, unless care is observed, the material which is plowed under will' cut off the cap­ illary rise ot water from the lower soil, with the result that the upper soil remains too dry to support ger­ mination or growth. A heavier roll­ er should be employed Immediately after the plowing, and this should ba closely followed by a thorough work­ ing with packing or stirring tools. The other danger Is, that of the souring or fermenting ot the green material plow­ ed under. The more rank the grouth and the heavier the soil the greater is ths danger of this souring. If there­ fore the soil Is inclined to be heavy snd if the crop is to be sown shortly, the green manure crop should not be able, npeclal meant must be employed allowed to make too largo growth be­ to introduce Into these soils organic fore tols plowing under. Los Angeles. CaL, Oct. 17.—A. report received here by officials of the South­ ern Pacific Railway company from C. B. Brown, section foreman for the road at Naples, Cal., give details of the discovery of 36 sticks of dynamite under the Cairton viaduct, 30 miles north of Santa Barbara, several hours before President Taft’s special train passed over the bridge, en route to Los Angeles. The dynamite was found after the watchman had engaged fn a revolver battle with two men, who es­ caped. The dynamite was discovered at two o’clock in the morning. The presi­ dent’s train passed over the bridge at 6: SI. Thu night watchman saw the men os the bridge shortly before two o’clock. They were at the opposite end of the 1,000-foot span and ran when ordered to halt Men Fire on Watchman. The watchman hurried across the bridge, firing several shots, which were returned. After the pair had escaped in the darkness the watchman returned to the bridge and began an investigation. Near the center of the span, lodged on one of the supports of the viaduct, he found the 36 sticks of dynamite with a ten-foot fuse attached to one of the sticks. The president's train followed the regular train from San Francisco, ten minutes behind, and if any trouble had been encountered there would have been plenty of time to flag the special. All of the railroads are hand­ ling the Taft train with the greatest care. Taft Given Hearty Welcome. President Taft received a hearty welcome in Los Angeles and Pasa­ dena. The streets were thronged and there were cheers all along the route. It was entirely a nonfactlonal recep­ tion. Senator Works and Gov. Hiram Johnson of the insurgent wing of the Republican party accompanying Mr. Taft on all bls travels. The president’s principal address, at the Auditorium, was on the subject of vetoes and the tariff board. Following an appeal for support for scientific re­ vision of the various schedules, based upon reports of the tariff board, Mr. Taft called out a storm of cheers by announcing to the lemon growers that the tariff on their product would not be changed until the board had had time to Investigate and report on the difference In the cost of production at home and abroad. Praises Booker Washington. The president addressed a meeting of negroes, where he declared that he thought Booker T. Washington "one of the greatest men of this and the last century, white or black.” ”1 think so,” he added, "because he has the courage, while |he loves your race, to tell you the tnfth and to tell you the one way by which you can earn your place in the community and render It better and higher."

Harvesting Machines Over 95 per cent of the grain harvested in this country is bound by harvesting machines and leks than five per cent of it is bound by hand. What do you think of the ones who are so far behind the times as to be binding by hand ? Over 95 Per Cent of the business of this country is done by bank checks in* stead of handling the money, because it is the safest and most convenient way of doing business. There is no reason why 99 per cent should not be done in this way. The few people who are not using the conveniences offered by * a bank such as this, are placing themselves in the same ciass as the ones who are still binding their grain by hand. The relations existing between this bank and its customers are close and cordial. We esteem it a compliment to have people lay claim to the institution as being their bank. Is it also yours? .

Vice-President Charles E. Bassett • f Fennville and Secretary R. A. Smythe of Benton Harbor have just been here looking after the detaL’s of the exhibit. . The apple* in the colection are par­ ticularly fine. "Beautiful” Is the only adjective that seem* to describe them best The apple trees of the counties in the territory embraced by the Original Fruit Belt association have long been noted for their excep­ tional product, but since the. farm­ ers of the region have taken up ap­ ple culture in earnest, employing in their work all the latest methods de­ veloped by scientific horticulture, the fruit has commanded extraordinary consideration. The applea selected, for the land and apple show are kings of tbe kinds, perfect in color, size, shape and flavor. They prove that eWstern Michigan can beat the Western orchards in a. field that Washington and Oregon have claimed as their very own. Besides apples, tfce Original Fruit Belt association will make an im­ pressive display of pears. It also ha* peaches and grapes of a quality of which it has a right.to be- proud. The association has the arrange­ ment of Its exhibit all planned out. In addition to the bank* of apples, there will be large baskets of fruit displayed in an attractive manner. The Original Fruit Belt associa­ tion la coming to the Michigan Land and Apple show determined to make a showing even better than that which attracted so much attention at the National Land Show In Chica­ go last year, and the fruit in storage here proves that It "has the goods." There are more than a score of va­ rieties represented, with large quan­ tities of apples in each variety. And all of them are Of stock of superla­ tive quality. PAYS COMPLIMENT TO MR. WEISSERT. Last week's Woodland News has the following interesting sketch of our brother newspaper man, Charles A. Welssert, of the Hastings Ban­ ner: That Barry county is particularly rich in uncollected historical mater­ ial has been known or a long time. Heretofore no one has taken the trouble to collect it and put It Into permanent form. At last this has been done. The News is in receipt of a handsome pampnlet entitled "The Indians and the Trading-Posts in th* Northwest of Barry county. Michigan." It was written by Charles A. Welssert, of Hastings, grandson of one of the first German residents of that city. Since he has been en­ gaged in newspaper work in Hastings he has collected from early residents of the county some valuable histori­ cal data, which covers the life of tbe Indians In their villages and at the missions, the taverns and days when travelling was done entirely by stages. Mr. Welssert obtained this material from several of the early pioneers who have sine died. In J)Is pamphlet, Mr. Welssert covers the interesting period from the time when the French trader* built their posts In the northwest part of the county down to the time when the Indians left the county. All this Is woven before a background of the early history of the Michigan In­ dians. In order to reproduce the spirit of the early days he visited the places described by foot and with a canoe. Readers of the New* will remem­ ber that about 10 years ago. Mr. Welssert, then a high school youth, made a bicycle trip of nearly 3,000 miles through nine countries of Eur­ ope, during which he wrote a serie* of travel letters for numerous pap­ ers, Including the New*. Since then Mr. Welssert has travelled much and written a great deal for the local and state press. He was at one time managing editor of the only illus­ trated college magazine published in this country. While Mr. Welssert was engaged in newspaper work in New York he had ambition to enter the consular service. He went to Washington, and .applied at the Secretary of State's office for a position. He knew absolutely no one and had no political influence, but tbe late Sena­ tor Alger strongly endorsed him for a position. Imter when the prelim­ inary work had bevu successfully done, he decided to continue news­ paper work. A year ago last spring a spirit of adventure took him down Into Old Mexico, where he visited Mexico City and other Interesting places. I-ast spring he made the grand tour of the southwest, visiting noted scenes, including Indian puenios in the des­ ert in New Mexico and Arisons. He arrived on the frontier while Mad­ ero’s force* were investing the city of Juarez. He witnessed the battle and had an opportunity to join the insurgent army, a job which he turn­ ed down, for he says he wants to push the pencil for many years to come. Biliousness is due to a disorded condition of tbe stomach. Chamber­ lain's Tablets are essentially a stom­ ach medicine, intended especially to act on that organ; to cleanse it, to strengthen it, tone and invigorate it, to regulate tbe liver and to banish biliousness postively and effectually.

The Big Removal Sale Grows more interesting each day People have learned that this is the greatest opportunity ever offered Grand Rapids and Western Michigan to purchase reliable clothing, furnishings, hats and shoes that are the latest style creations at Cost or Below Cost We didn’t plan this sale; conditions that made a stock reduction necessary were brought about after we had purchased our usual lines of men’s, boys’ and children’s clothing for the regular fall trade. We us^d the same care in selecting these that has made this store famous. There were no job lots—no leaveovers. Then unex­ pectedly we closed a deal whereby we purchased the Leonard building just across the street and plans are being made to remake this into the handsomest aud most up-to-date clothing store in Michigan, one that will necessarily mean an entire new stock when we move. That’s the history of this, the biggest sale of high grade goods ever offered right in the height of the purchasing season. To prove our sincerity we offer big reductions on the en­ tire stock, reserving only dress suits and a few trade marked articles that can be sold only at a fixed price. Think of it. You can go through the finest and largest stock of dependable merchandise in Grand Rapids and find every article a decided bargain and worthy of attention. Just consider that you can pick from Hart.

She bad had Only a glance of the nether depths. Grave though the charge against her was. the good zold man, whom an accident of poli­ tics had placed In control of the pris­ on, bad recognized from the first that she was of finer mould than anyone who had been entrusted to his cus­ tody In his whole term of office. and he had seen to’tt that her eyA and ears were not assaulted by the sight* and scenes of the blacker depths. Years passed, and Elinor was a woman of much graver maturity ere she knew how much of misery she had escaped, j The visit of Mrs. Mlssioner and Bands did Elinor so much good that. lighter heart she returned to her cell, with renewed courage she steeled her­ self to await the efforts of the good friends and the devoted lover she knew were working to clear her name of the frightful charge Donnelly and Carson had lodged against her. I [ Her confidence in Dr. Fitch was not [pitsplsced, for in tbe short time wjien Mrs. Mlssioner in her limousine was ! peedlng back to her home In MillionC Ires’ Row, and Sands, In a brougham, ,was returning to hl* office tn the Bowling Green building, Fitch and Britx were standing on a Fourth Ave­ nue corner a short distance north of |Twenty-third Street, gazing with dis­ may at a twenty-story skyscraper that stood on the site of the little old curio shop to which duty had called the young ambulance surgeon years be­ fore. “You are sure this is the place?" asked the detective. “Absolutely." said the doctor. "I went over there to get some brandy for the old man when I was working him out of his stupor." "Well." said the sleuth, "so far as that,old curiosity shop is concerned, we’re up against it; or, what is worse, we are not up against !L We are con­ fronted by this steel and stone mon­ strosity, and I guess there's no use wasting time making inquiries there; but there may be a few old-timers with- memories along thia block, and well see what we can find out You take that side of the street and I’ll take this." Britx and Fitch went into one shop after another, patiently repeating per­ sistent inquiries as to what had be­ come of the veteran curio dealer. Blank stares and equally blank an­ swer* were the result until Britx. in atiny tobacco shop that, was the center of all tbe old-times places huddled to­ gether for protection against the en­ croachment of progress, unearthed a memory incarnate in a man, who. Fitch said, might have been the twin brother of tbe amateur alchemist "Yes," said the man. “I remember him, and it’a a funny thing to me that anybody who ever saw him could ever forget him. He was the queerest little old duck I ever ran across.” Britz thought if anyone could be queerer than the smclent tobacconist he would have to step out of * page of Dicken*. The Incarnate memory recalled that the curio dealer had been taken away a week or two before his shop was torn down to clear the ground for the foundation work of the great sky­ scraper. No, he didn’t go away. He ••Anything wrong with him?" asked Britz. ••Well, not exactly what you might eall wrong, so to speak," quavered tty* old tobacco merchant "I wouldn’t go so far as to say there was anything you might exactly call wrong with him. but neither would I undertake to tell you that he was altogether what you might call right" and he touched his forehead significantly. “Oh!" said Britz, "Ward's or Ran­ dalia r “Huh," said tiie old tobacconist "I don’t know what you mean." “Why,” said the detective, "what I mean Is did they take him to the Asy­ lum or to the Workhouse?" ”* reckon It wouldn't have been any use to take him to the Workhouse.** said tbe tobacco dealer, "because, so far as I know, he never done no work in all his life, and he was too old a dog to learn the habit by that time. No, I guess they took him to the other place; but what do you want to know for? Are you missing heirs?" Britz and Fitch laughed “No," he said, "my friend here just want* to brush up an old acqualnt- ance.” When tbe two had bought enough cigars to recall faintly ths dreams of prosperity that had in­ spired the eld man’s youth, they strolled to the Twenty-third street corner, where they jumped aboard a crosstown cat that took them to the Island ferry. CHAPTER XV. At Ward** Island. t "If* rather a remarkable coinclence, I’ll admit" *aid Britx to Fitch, aa they stood on thd deck of the little ferry host that bore them toward the Island; “but it’s possible your tittle old friend bad something to do with the making of the imitation Mahara­ nee diamond. You realize thoroughly, I'm sure, the importance of that link in our chain of evidence. It may be difficult to fasten the responsibility for manufacturing all the other fraud­ ulent diamonds of the necklace upon the guilty person, because diamonds of that size can be imitated In any one of several large cities; but the naan who made the fake Maharanee is a past master of his craft; a man so skillful that even the most expert artificers of Europe and America do »ot pretend they can equal him.” “What makes you think tho curio dealer had anything to do with it?” asked Fitch. "How could it be done? I thought the Maharanee was made quite recently?” ”1 don’t know how long It’* been," the detective replied. “It may have been only a few months, and the dia­ mond, it is possible, may. have been copied any time within the past year. That big office building has been les* than a year in construction, and it’s well within the bounds of f*ct that the curio dealer received the commis­ sion for the work twelve months ago, or possibly more.” “Oh.” said the physician, “there is one flaw in your theory. He was not a. fakir. All the Information I gleaned about him convinced me he was not engaged In tbe manufacture of bogus jewels. His grand purpose in life was to make real diamonds." "Precisely.” said Britz. “It Is that fact, much more than anything else, that leads me to think he may be in the employ of the persons we arc trailing. Doesn’t it occur to you that the false Maharanee, in order to de­ ceive Mrs. MUwloner and all her friends for so long a time, must have been such a beautiful piece of work that it could not have been intended as an imitation? In other words, didn't the man who made the Imita­ tion Maharanee believe he was manu­ facturing a genuine diamond?" The little boat grated Its nose against the Island pier, and the two Investigators sprang ashore. As soon as they entered the asylum grounds, their positions were reversed. Fitch became the mentor, Britz the willing pupil, for in That abode of darkened reason were medical men whose hour­ ly association with that phase of ex­ istence made them welcome gladly visitors from the outer world—espe­ cially members of their own profes­ sion. Fitch, as he ran up the step* of the visitors’ entrance, was received royally in the office by three or four physicians and surgeons who had known him in hl* Bellevue day*. There them. He bad shot ahead of several of them, and it was pretty well un­ derstood among the Island doctor* that Lawrence Fitch was rapidly forg­ ing to the fore as a fashionable physician. What was more important In their eyes was the fact that be had gained real distinction in his profes­ sion. Several minor but helpful dis­ coveries of his had been recorded gratifyingly in the “Lancet," and more than once his name bad been mention, ed with flattering recognition at meet­ ings of the County Medical Society. Fitch was now In his element He grasped warmly the hands held out to him, clapped two or three of his closer cronies on the back, and pre­ sented Britz to tbe little group with a few words of Introduction that won respect for the man from Mulberry Street “Got a patient here, Larry T' they asked him jokingly. "No," said Fitch, “not exactly a pa­ tient; but it’s possible you have a case here I’m a little bit interested in." He recited the history of the curio dealer, with an urgent request that everything In connection with the old man be revealed to him. Brits. ac­ tollsomely, was unmistakably sur­ prised by the readiness witk which each of Fitch's friends promised aid, and hastened to put their promise into execution. One of tbe younger doctors showed himself familiar with tbe old dia­ mond maker’s case, and seemed thor­ oughly to understand his delusion. "He is now in my ward," be said. "He has been there six months; rath­ er unusual case; harmless but hope­ less. Can’t rid himself of the idea that diamonds are banked up all around bin?, and that all he has to do is to make one with his own bands to possess the whole of that wealth in Jewels. He does his best to make It. too. CnfonuDRiely the ingredients he demands include several dangerous teres ted. i_.—---------- . * “What do you do with him, doctor?" asked Fitch.

So Mr. and Mrs. Sweet are.in the aut­ umn of their lives, but as It is also one of the most beautiful of the sea­ sons, so may the decline of life be made the most beautiful of all their days. Mr. and Mrs. Sweet have much to be thankful for, that their health is as good as It is, and that they were blessed with the privilege of meeting so many of their kinsmen on this date. Eleven children have been born to this couple as follows: Bert, with his wife were present from Detroit, Clara who died four years ago at Hastings, bu( her son. Harold Goodrich was present, Llbble, now Mrs. Dell Young of Battle Creek, but with, her family; were unable to come. Nellie, now Mrs. Sylvester Young of Battle Creek, with her husband and seven children were all present. Jennie, now Mrs. Miller, and living in Oklahoma, was absent. Fred of Battle Creek, George and wife of Battle Creek, Ed and wife pt Hastings, Frank of Detroit, Pearl, who died at the age of one year, and Guy, of Hastings. It was a matter of much regret, that the living mem­ bers who were absent, could not be here, also the grand-daughter, Mrs. Goldie Rich, who went to her new home in Montana, in the early spring, was absent. Sho was brought up in the home of Mr. and Mrs. Sweet. Of the others who were present, the oldest was Mrs. C. W. Beers of Bellevue, a' sister-in-law of Mrs. Sweet, and was eighty-one years old, and her son, Clinton Beers ot De­ troit came with her. Also J£r. Sweet’s only brother, Phin Sweet of Battle Creek, and his three sisters, Mrs. Mary Witherell, of Alma. Mrs. A. P; Wood, and Mrs. C. H. Williams of Hastings, so the brothers and sisters were together once more, and all feeling the infirmities of falling years, yet very glad to meet at this golden wedding. Two of the sisters. Mrs. Williams and Mrs. Witherell. being present at the wedding of their brother, fifty years ago. Besides the eight living children, there are twenty-two grand children, and two great grand children. David Sweet was born in Ontario county, N. Y. and came to Michigan When twenty-one years old. and lived in Eaton and Barry counties the rest of his life. He is now seventy-two years of age? Charlotte Ann Beers V as born in Marcellus county, N. Y. but has lived in Michigan the most of her life, and is now sixty-eight years old, an j they have lived in Nashville, nineteen years this fall. Elder B. O. Shattock of the Apos­ tolic Holiness church was the only one present who was not a relative, and as he is Mr. Sweet’s pastor, it was appropriate that he should give thanks at the bountiful feast pre­ pared by the children, and as they sat at the table, he gave a heart to heart talk to the children especially, which will be remembered by them as treasured words, each expressing gratitude for the kind sayings that dropped from Brother Shattock’s lips. The table decorations were au­ tumn flowers brought by the guests. Three of the guests present have al­ ready celebrated their own golden wedding days, and it was also the forty-third wedding anniversary of Mrs. Kate Woods. The wedding gifts were fifty-five dollars in gold from the children and grand children, also table linen, flowers, and other gifts, which will help to make the coming winter more comfortable and pleasant for Mr. and Mrs. Sweet. Thus the day closed with one of the best and sweetest re-unions ever held by the Sweet fam­ ily.

As he expected, tbs old alchemist w>b tn a state ot mind to share hts knowledge with any­ t«!opmeats At times a spectral smile deemed to glow Upon bla oadaverous features---* faint gleam like the specter of a corpse-light. The sunlight, ’ reflected from the rows of jars and bottles, play­ ed queer tricks with the countear of his face and gave his tireless hands a ghost-like appearance. He was spoor little shriveled remnant ot a man, the dried coro of what had been a dab­ bler In the-occult, and which along normal, channels might have been a distinguished scientist No one look­ ing at him could ever have pictured him as possessed of the greed of gain. Britz, though he made no pretense of being a psychologist, comprehended at a glance the outer vision of the former curiosity shop proprietor con­ veyed little to his distraught scien­ tific mind. Beyond doubt, the old man. as Fitch had said, hod run ths shop merely as a means to an end. Fitch and Britz stood looking at him for a few moments before he became aware of their presence. When at last J»e glanced up, a shade of perplex­ ity flitted across his face, his Ungers halted, but they did not stop in their studious task, and he looked at them Inquiringly. With a slight shake of his head he apparently gave up the attempt To puzzle ont their Identity, and once more bent his eyes on the bench he flnnly regarded as the thres­ hold to Golconda. "Guess you don’t remember me. Mr. Martin," said the doctor. The old man appeared not to hear. Britz and Fitch exchanged glances, and the detective took , up the attempt to awaken a re -uponse from the aged Inmate’s mental vacuum. " . "Pretty busy man, eh?" said Britz. He had touched the right chord. Any reference to the industry that ab­ sorbed his fading senses was sure to arouse the Intelligence of the old curio dealer. He nodded briskly, and went on with his work more zealously than before. ’’Got to finish a contract on time?" the Headquarters man pursued. Another vigorous little nod. follow­ ed by a swift search of the detective’s face on the part of the old man's wnken eyes. "Rather Interesting work you’re do­ ing," pursued the detective. Thereupon Mr. Martin rejoined: ’’It Is the only work that can Inter­ est me. I have given my life to IL” “Find it profitable?” inquired the sleuth. For an Instant those gray fingers paused Is their manipulation of the clay pellets. "Well, ft depends on what you call profitable, young man," answered the ward of the State. “There are things more Important than monetary gain." “Oh. yfes. I know, I know,” said tbe detective hastily. "I suppose your work Is purely scientific?" "It is more than science,” answered Martin. "It Is art, philosophy, philan­ thropy—everything. It Is the crystal­ lization of the beautiful. Lore Is beau­ ty, and beauty Is life. All mankind needs h beauty In greater measure and higher degree to attain perfection of happiness." "And you are engaged tn forward­ ing that theory?” "Yes,” said the old man simply. "I have taken upon myself the task of glorifying every home in the world with the prisoned sunshine of the cen­ turies. Every abode of man, however bumble, should be illuminated by the light of. diamonds. The diamond Is the most exquisite expression of crea­ tive love we have. The only trouble Is that we have not enough of them. It has remained for me—it has re­ mained for tbe poor old student of mysteries to find the key to the true Jewel wealth of the universe. For thousands of years men have been seeking diamonds In the ground. I take them from the air." lu similar vein he ran on, his words betraying the strange groping of a clouded mind that in its time had been nearer the truth than most men's. There was something extraordinary about the little old fellow’s brain. It' bad not cracked; rather,-It had been attenuated by overstrain. It was after a process of patient questioning cov­ ering so long a time that it ended in the twilight, that Britz led the tireless worker back to days before bls arrival in tbe asylum. The protracted Inquiry taxed ail the detective's skill In word­ handling, for each time he lifted the patient's prostrate Intelligence above the horizon of sanity. It was only to see it slip back In a few seconds. Fitch, scientist though he was, long conversant with the phenomena of the mind as be had been, marveled at the Headquarters man's adroitness. Long before Britz had finished his task, the doctor, in sheer weariness dropped Into a chair and stayed there In silent attention. But the detective remain­ ed on tris feet. Immutable as the Incartiatlon of will Itself, and slowly, cautiously, persistently piloted that darkened Intelligence out of its depths back to at least a gloaming of coher­ ent memory. So guided, so aided and lifted along the difficult backward path, Martin’s mind reverted to In­ stances that hung like stalactites from the cavern ceiling of restrcspectlon. It was tn a f ish of intelligence, brief­ ly eliminated as a twinkle of daylight seen from the recesses of a cave, that the old man recalled the great triumph of Ms strange craft. *7. have made diamonds, yes,” he said la raaponse to a query from the detective, swift and searching as a rapier thrust, "beautiful enough to bang about the nock ot a prtooess; brilliant enough to glorify the hut of a toller hi the fields; bat there was one—ahi” His recollection reveled tn widening circles until its force was spent For a long time, his hands motionless again, he'eat gazing tnto the past Britz, feeling that he was on the edge of an Important disclos­ ure, waited patiently. Fitch scarcely breathed. ”1 mind me," the one-ttme curio dealer resumed, "of the one great dia­ mond that came as the grand reward of- all my labor. Ah, that was a dia­ mond! But though It was a wonderful achievement I dishonored myself tn, the making of 1t for—” and a faint flush deepened on his parchment face, "I fashioned it for gain!” Without an Instant's warning he pushed away the bench, dropped his face Into his hands and gave -way to grief that moved equally the man long hardened to dissection of the body and the veteran crime hunter accus­ tomed to vivisection of the soul. Few things are more terrible than to see an old man weep. It Is dual bufrender, for tears are the prerogative of youth and womanhood. Britz and Fitch with difficulty controlled their own emotions just for a moment, for tears streamed over the ashen coun­ tenance of tbe broken amateur al­ chemist, and his wasted form writhed and rocked In convulsive Mobs. "I have had my punishment," said Martin when at last the tempest had spent Itself;, "but, oh. the long years -*-the long years of remorse! Urged by poverty, that enemy ot seekers aft­ er truth and beauty. I succumbed to the temptation the stranger held out to me. I made the great diamond as he desired—and I gave It to him for his gold!" The doctor glanced swiftly at the detective and started to speak. Britz raised a wa rning hand, and Fitch checked his exclamation. Seating himself for the first time the Central Office man—the prober of mysteries— laid his hand encouragingly on the diamond-maker's shoulder, and saldt 'There now; don’t let ft distress you so mneh. Other men have done things far worse than that!" "Nothing could be worse,” screamed Martin, springing from the low stool on which he sat and facing his visi­ tors in an agony of abasement "I sold the delight of my eyes, the light of my life, the star ot my soul—the queen of all jewels, the purest, truest, most beautiful diamond the world has ever known!” "Yes.” said the detective, "but don’t forget ft was yours to sell. You had a right to do ns you pleased with IL” T had no such right." cried the al­ chemist "That diamond was the product of my laboring hours. I brought It forth from the air, the sun­ shine, the sliver water, the milk of the moon, aa an Aphrodite Is fashion­ ed ot dew and mist. It was not a mere stone; It had thought and sense and soul; it was a miscrocosm of the marvelous!” Fitch could not hide' his astonish­ ment at the learning and poetry the fearfully agitated old man displayed. Britz himself, had not his thoughts been focused rigorously on his pur­ pose, would have stopped to wpnder at them. As it was he struck the Iron of the alchemist’s remorse at white beat. "What <Jld the stranger want with It?" demanded the detective. T don’t know,” said Martin. His voice still trembled, hls features worked, hls hands fluttered and knot­ ted themselves In the intensity of hls emotion. "He came to me a stranger; be went away the same, and with him went my queen of jewels, my beauti­ ful, beautiful diamond of diamonds’ But I will find him," he shrieked. ’For centuries I have been upon hls path. He thought all things ended between us when he hired me rote parting with my treasure. He said because he had suggested the outline and color of the stone he had a right to make me give It to him for hls money; but it was I—I who thrust into the center of the glorious gem the fire from heaven. I penned the sun­ bursts In the priceless prism, and It Is mine. It Is mine by right of crea­ tion •" This outburst excited the old man, but In a little while there was an­ other outburst of his emotions'. He fairly shouted: "I will have him. though. I will come up with him yet. and when I do, I will give him back hls money and make film return the diamond to me. He thought he left nothing to tell me who he is. He thought I never would be able to find him in this big town. He felt sure the old curiosity dealer would not venture far enough away from Hz shop to track such a fine gentleman. But he forgot one thing. I have kept ,tt al» these years, and through it I will find him yet!” Abstractedly he thrust hls hand into an inner pocket and fished out a bit' ot cardboard. Excitedly he waved It in front of the detective's eyes. Brits resifted for a moment the impulse to snatch It from Jtls grasp, but be gripped himself sharply. Awaiting de- jCftSTORIA body. After a few more flourishes, Martin laid lu Eritz’ hand a man’s vis­ iting card, face down. Studtoasly avoiding any appearance of .haste, Britz turned-it up and read the single line engraved upon IL Without the tremor of u muscle, and with only one swift significant look, he pasted the card to Fitch. The doctor, a little lesa self-re­ strained. than the detective, looked steadily at•’ a drawing on the back, gazed earnestly al the Inscription on the face, then wonderingly, before the card fluttered from hls fingers, he read tbe line aloud.

There remained only the verdict of a petit jury to open the gates of state’s prison for her. Her lawyer was served with the fateful notice of trial, and sue was made to realize the great struggle was about to begin.

ROY BASSETT SECOND AND MANY OTHER CONTESTANTS RUNNING NECK AND NECK--.EXCELLENT CHANCE TO YET WIN THE GRANO PRIZE. ANOTHER SPECIAL PRIZE TO THE TWO CONTESTANTS MAKING THE GREATEST GAIN IN VOTES BETWEEN NOW AND THE NEXT COUNT; ALSO SPECIAL BONUS VOTES WILL BE GIVEN FOR THE NEXT FEW DAYS. Was it a big count? Well we think so. Just ask E. V. Smith, F. K. Bul­ lis or C. H. Tuttle. They will tell you ail about It. They counted votes till near three a. m. It was a big task, but was finally completed and Mias Carrie Caley was declared the win­ ner of the >10.00 In gold. There was a great deal of interest manifested as the time for the first count approached. While Miss Caley has a little lead In this count the final outcome cannot be judged from that. A hard day’s work by several of the other contestants would prac­ tically even things up and besides we have good reason to believe that some votes were held back. At any rate we predict that the second count will be even closer than the first count. The way to win Is to work. The prize is worth working for. A' fully guaranteed piano and lots of other prizes. Remember, girls, that the world loves a winner. The people love io see anybody get out and hustle. To be called a hustler Is a thing of which to be proud. Be­ sides it's the hustlers that win. Have your friends save their mer­ chants’ coupons for you. Tell them to be sure and ask for coupons when they make purchases at the stores.

Here are the bonuses: For every seven new yearly sub­ scriptions, 5,000 extra, a total of 9,200 votes. For every seven renewal subscrip­ tions, 3,000 extra, a total of 6,500 votes. For every seven back subscriptions 2,000 extra, a total of 4,800 votes.

Mott knew that the same un­ certainty In the minds of the jurors would inevitably result tn a verdict of acquittal. The benefit of any reason­ able doubt as to her guilt must go to her. and he realized ha had yet to eliminate that last slim possibility of a verdict favorable to the prisoner.

The individual stones of the necklace would bring all the money he needed for the deal.” “But have you tried to make sure that he sold the diamonds?” Britz per­ sisted. "I'll get all that without much trouble," was the confident reply. “Well, go ahead and get it,” Brit* ordered.

MATTER IS NOW UP TO KNOX Reman Scldiers Are Accused of Transgressing the Most Elementary Laws of Humanity—Atrocities In Tripoli Officially Confirmed. Washington, Nov. 6.—The so-called Italian barbarities tn Tripoli finally have been brought officially to the at­ tention of tbe American government In such form that some declaration of the position of the state department in the matter now is expected. The subject was broached first in the course of a vertfkl statement by the Turkish ambassador to Acting Sec­ retary Adee, and later in the shape of a letter. In each case the ambassa­ dor, who declared be was acting by express cabled Instructions from bls government, described in detail the acts attributed to the Italian troops, and protested in the name of human­ ity against the alleged barbarities in­ flicted upon helpless women and chil­ dren and noncombatants by the in­ furiated Italian soldiery. Appeals to United States. By order of the government tbe am­ bassador appealed to the United States to exert Itself to put a stop to practices that, he declared, were in plain violation of the rules of warfare in contravention of The Hague con­ vention, to which the United States and Italy are parties. The ambassador’s note was based upon a cablegram from the Turkish minister of foreign affairs. Supplementing this cable came another from the Turkish foreign office. which was also transmitted to the state department This is regarded as of great Importance, because It for­ mally demands Intervention by the United States. It reads as follows: “The Italian atrocities in Tripoli be­ Ing confirmed officially and from every quarter, I beg your excellency to re­ iterate the representations prescribed in my pressing telegram to insist upon the necessity ot prompt and efficacious Intervention, in order to put an end Immediately to these inhuman pro­ ceedings." Eye-Witnesses Confirm Brutalities. Malta. Nov. 6.—Steamer passengers arriving from Tripoli describe tbe situatlon there as a reign of terror. Strong military patrols are contlnually conducting rigorous house to house searches, and on the smallest pretense summary punishment is meted out Many victims have been shot In their own bouses. In tbe sbsence of any at­ tempt to discriminate between friend and foe many foreigners have taken refuge in their respective consulates. An order forbidding anjone to be out before six o'clock in the morning or after six o'clock in the evening has been strictly enforced. Tbe Italian soldiers appear to have unlimited power, and. the passengers say, were shooting down man. woman or child who disobeyed the order. Tbe passengers also confirm the stories of the brutality displayed by the Italians In their treatment of the Arabs. FRESH GUY STRUCK A SNAG. A fellow’who gave his name as J. J. Donnelly struck town this week and started canvassing from house to> house with sainplag of a sort ofr crockery ware. He was quite suc­ cessful In taking orders, his persist­• ency winning for him In many cases' after he had been told that hjs' goods were not wanted. He was so’ tenacious, and became bo irritable when orders were refused that many. ladies became alarmed and gave him, an order to get rid ot him. He was> finally picked up by Marshal Emmetr Smith and taken before Judge Well­■ man on a charge of violating villageordinance 25. in peddling without a1 license. He refused to admit his* guilt and stood trial, being convicted on tbe evidence of a number of wit­ nesses.

Your Money Back if You are not Sat­ isfied with the .Medicine we Recommend. We are so positive that our reme­ dy will permanently relieve consti­ pation, no matter how chronic It may be, that we offer to furnish the med­ icine at our expense should it fail to produce satisfactory results. It is worse than useless to attempt to cure constipation with cathartic drugs. Laxatives or cathartics do much harm. They cause a reaction, irritate and weaken the bowels and tend to make constipation more chronic. Besides, their use becomes a habit that is dangerous. Constipation is caused by a weak­ ness of the nerves and muscles of the large intestine or descending colon. To expect permanent relief you must therefore tone up and strengthen these organs and restore them to healthier activity. We want you to try Rexall Order­ lies on our recommendation. They are exceedingly pleasant to take, be­ ing eaten like candy, and are ideal for children, delicate persons and old folks, as well as the robust. They act directly on the nerves and mus­ cles of the bowels. They apparent­ ly have a neutral action on other as­ sociate organs or glands. They do not purge, cause excessive looseness, nor create any inconvenience what­ ever. They may be taken at any time, day or night. They will posi­ tively relieve chronic or habitual con­ stipation, if not of surgical variety, and the myriads of associate or de­ pendent chronic ailments, if taken with regularity for a reasonable length of time. 12 tablets, 10 cents; 36 tablets, 25 cents; 80 tablets, 50 cents.

The juniors met at the Catholic church corner at 7:30.

The jun­ iors were not out of the show more than ten minutes before the "lost was found." Main street was soon livened up by .a few quiet class yells of the bunch. From there they pro­ ceeded to Miss Dietz's residence to give her a call—and see her they did! . About 10:30 the juniors were taken to Barker's where an elegant banquet was served to the hungry troup. About midnight the joliy bunch went home all declaring they had had a good time. The purpose of frolic was to engender friendly feeling between the two classes and It can be truthfully said that this was accomplished. Why not attend literary?

Over-eat­ ing is a habit very dangerous to a person's good general health. , It is net what you eat but what you digest and assimilate that does you good.

ADMISSION, 25 cents Reserved Seats, 35 cents Children, 15 cents RESERVED SEATS ON SALE AT FURNISS' DRUG STORE Profits are to be used to give a jolly big Thanksgiving dinner to Nashville's little folks year. In all of Nashville's five games this fall, no opponent has placed his foot behind their goal line for a score. The Eaton Rapids* team from the result of the game at Nashville, real­ ized that there must be some change in the line-up to stand jsny. chance of winning. So when Nashville marched on the field they were confronted by some strange faces in the Eaton Rap­ ids team. Two of the most promi­ nent were the tackles, Hlgelmlre and Wood who,* in size, had the appear­ ance of a couple of varsity tackles. But this didn’t scare Nashville much, and the game was started. Burdick kicked to Cassler who was downed in his tracks, Eaton Rapids made a few gains but were soon held for downs. Nashville ran the ball back Into Eaton Rapids territory where they lost it and Eaton Rapids pant­ ed It out of danger, Messimer caught the ball and returned it fifteen yards. Nashville wasted two downs and were forced to punt. The ball changed hands again, and the quar­ ter ended with the. ball in Nashville’s possession on Eaton Rapids’ fortyfive yard line. The second quarter opened with a three yard buck by Ehret; Brumm added three yards more through cen­ ter, and punted. Here Eaton Rapids took a brace and after making a few good gains punted to Nashville's for­ ty yard line. Here Eaton Rapids and Nashville exchanged the ball a couple of times and Nashville punt­ ed to Eaton Rapid's twenty yard line where Kyser picked the ball up on the first bound and carried.it across the goal line for a touchdown. Deller punted out to Irland; after which “Big Mary” kicked goal against the wind nt a difficult angle. Eaton Rapids chose to receive and the ball durlnk the rest of the quarter was near the center of the field, the quar­ ter ending with the bal! on Eaton Rapids’ thirty yard line. In tho third quarter Pasco kicked to Feighner who returned the ball to the center of the field. In this quar­ ter two forward passes were tried, neither of which were completed on account of the strong wind. The ball was kept near the center of the field, except when Nashville opened up a fake forward pass for a thirty yard run by Feighner. The quarter end­ ed with the ball in Nashville’s pos­ session on Eaton Rapids' thirty yard line. The fourth quarter would have been the undoing of all the good that had been done had it not been for "Skinny” Feighner. The quarter had not progressed far when Pasco, the Eaton Rapids full back and the boy who had won the qll round medal at the Eaton county track meet last spring, broke loose on his own twen­ ty yard line. "Skinny" tore after him and on Eaton Rapids* fifty yard line caught the Eaton county cham­ pion. but owing to a tackle from be­ hind was shaken off. This did not daunt the Nashville half-back and while Pasco sped on toward the goal line, "Fike” sprang to his feet and ran him down again on Nashville’s thirty yard line, where Pasco worked a neat and cleah stiff arm and again a touchdown seemed Inevitable. But as Pasco struck Nashville's fifteen yard line Feighner put him down with a thud and It was necessary to pump the breath back into him be­ fore the game could be resumed. At this point Nashville became desper­ ate and three times the Nashville line came through^the line of their heavier opponents downing the quar­ terback before he had time to get rid of the ball; Ehret gained twen­ ty yards around right end and was thrown outside the field. Nashville punted to Eaton Rapids’ forty yard line against the wind and recovered the ball; here Brumm used some brilliant head work; sending the, back field off from left end on »' fake buck. Jack kept the bail well covered and running very low, hit center for twenty yards. Ehret add­ ed seven more and with a couple of more plays the ball laid on Eaton Rapids' four yard line, Feighner's signal was called and when the men were untangled from the pile "Skln^ ny” was on the bottom with the ball under his arm and the point of the ball covered the goal line. The sat­ isfaction to Nashville is that the last play was made directly through Hlgelmlre, whom Eaton Rapids sup­ posed could stop anything. Eaton Rapids Nashville C. Farrand L. E. Kyser E.

It was no part at his program to be seen by Bands’ other visitor, er visitors. Ho felt Justified In giving way to bls curiosity because it might be as much to the millionaire’s Interests as to hto own—to say nothing of Mrs. Mlsaloeer’e, and that of tho public. In fact, ths headquarters man did not waste much time in such reflections. He wanted to see and hear what waa go­ ing on. and he took tho readiest Rich, juicy, nutritious meats means of doing so.

OPEN SUNDAYS FROM The shadow man was still at die win­ dow, fluttering, flitting to and fro, 7:00 to 10:00 a. m. rising and falling. It crouched out­ side the window Id such a way as showed Britz it was on a fire escape er a balcony of some sort Th* rust­ ling sound increased, and It was fol­ lowed by i fslnt "cheep,” like a spar­ row's call. A second shadow fluttered from a point above tho window and melted into the outlines of the first Then came a slightly rasping sound, RECIPES, BOOK AND and the lower sash. Britz noticed, trembled. By well-nigh imperceptible CAREFUL OIAGNOSIS ANO OPINIONS bMPF degrees the sash was lifted. The next OF ALL FORKS or DIS- I HUW instant two men noiselessly lowered themselves to the floor and glanced WORTH S 10.00. hastily about the room. Reassured by the swift look, they tiptoed along tbe walls from right to left; one of them stopped at a chiffonier, the other con­ tinued his little journey of investiga­ tion until he arrived at the portieres. Then it was that Britz held his JOB Will AC* ----------- Best and Meceipes tree. Address breath. He held it for seconds that Andrew B. Spinney, i Adams Avenue.V. eat. seemed as tedious as hours, while the nearer of the strange visitors, sepa­ rated from him only by the thickness of tbe leather, peered through the TRY THE parting between the curtains Into tho WANT COLUMN •tbrary where the detective stood. Britz had not obtained b good view 1 CENT A WORD. of the Intruder’s face, for it was half hidden by a loose fold of the turban upon bls head that indicated tbe stranger's nationality. Britx's eyes still were fixed at the hole, and by that time the stranger was out of his Uno of vision. Had such not been tho case, ft to possible that even the Imper* turbable Britz would have moved at least to the extent of a swift reach Delicacies John Ackett FOLETSHWEMAR on* could expect to see anywhere, save under tbe shadow of the gallows. In its rapacity, ferocity, blood thirst!nesa and cruelty of every degree spoke loudly. If that savage face had advanced an inch or two nearer, those snaky eyes would have seen the man from Mulberry street who shrank into himself behind the shelter of the pro­ tecting strip of leather. But ft did not; and. after a leisurely survey of the interior, the Oriental returned to the other end of the inner room and rejoined hla companion. Hardly had Britz begun to let ths air seep out of hla lungs, and before he had Indulged in the luxury of an Intake of breath, when he became an interested spectator tn the gentleman ly art of searching a gentleman's room. The Central office man was no Vidocq. It is doubtful if he had even read Poe’s story of ''The Missing Let­ ter," and had he done so, it is by no means certain he would have adapted the methods of the French police to metropolitan detective work. Never­ theless, bo had flattered. himself that he usually - made a pretty thorough search for anything he wanted; but what he saw through that tiny pin hole In tho leather portiere showed him that he was ths veriest tyro In that sort of thing. The two visitors went through the millionaire’s furni­ ture and other possessions with a min­ uteness that would have made a finetooth comb look like a garden rake. There could not have remained any­ thing—any nook or corner, any crack or crevice, not anything larger than a bacillus which they happened to covet If an article no bigger than a pinhead bad been the object of their bunt their untiring scrutiny would have brought It to light Tet so deftly had they searched that, granting them a minute’s raspite, they could have left ths room without any traces of their activity. Their search seemed fruitless until they arrived at a desk under a hang­ lag Incandescent lamp, at which Britz assumed Sands was in the habit of writing his more personal letters. From one of the pigeon-holes, on* of the Intruders drew something that crackled slightly as tho man stuffed it Into the folds of his tunic. From a neighboring compartment of th* desk, the second stranger drew another find, which he la turn hastily hid in the same way. With lightning rapidity, they went through every part of th* desk. In that same instant Britz felt rather than heard a footstep behind him. and, jerking a glance over his shoulders, saw Sands adv anti ng upon him angrily. With a quick uplift of his hand, ths detective stopped the millionaire tn hla tracks, and then drew him quietly toward the portiere and motioned for him to look through tho hole la the toother. Bands bent a little, and then glanced wonderingly Into tho bedroom. He raised a face of astonished inquiry to Britz. He waa answered by another silencing ges­ ture from the sleuth. Ho looked once mor* through th* tiny hoi* just in time t* see tho Hindoo* straighten them**lvee from their crouching at­ titude over the desk and turn toward the window. His hand thrust Itself late his coat pockpt, he slipped into the opening in th* portiere* with a single stride, and. leveling an auto­ matic pistol that looked mor* like a btook of ate*l than anything els*. ho cried: "Hands up!” The men did net turn; Instead, they leaped for th* window, followed by Brito and Sands. Quick as they were, they were not quick enough for th* Headquarters man. Launching his wiry form aa a tiger springs, Britz, pistol in hand, hurled himself between the foremost Indian and th* open win­ dow and seised him in hla strong grasp. Bands, almost as rapid In hla movements In spite of his bulk, flung powerful arm ibout the throat of the other Intruder, and with his other hand closed th* window with a crash. Britz and Sands dragged their pris­ oners to the other side of the room and forced them down upon a couch. Then the sleuth, slipping hla pistol back into hla pocket, aelzed tbe Indian Sands was holding by the throat, and, more aa an order than a request, ask­ ed the millionaire to bind the cap­ tives. ”1 think I recognize you, my dear young friends,’* he said. "You are two of tho dark jugglers who bad funwith mo in Central Park and River­ side Drive last evening. I think it’s about time for me to return the com­ pliment with a merry little jest of my own.” Turning his head to the mil­ lionaire, he said again: “If you have any silk handkerchiefs to spare, Mr. Sands, please use them as handcuffs. These gentlemen ar* accustomed to silk, and I would not Ilk* to us* any­ thing cheaper on them than they used on me. I suppose if w* trussed them up with cotton er hemp, they’d die of mortification.” The detective’s sarcasm was lost on Sands until he thought to recount In a few brief worts his abduction in the park and the struggto for life that had followed IL It was evident that, in spite of the detective's coolness, he bad some feeling on the, subject In fact, his manner toward the now cow­ ering Hindoo* waa more or less re­ vengeful. Bands fell in with the hu­ mor of th* situation, and in a very few minute* the Easterners were bound with silk handkerchiefs a* soft, yet strong, as any scarf they could have produced in th* bazaars at Cal­ cutta or Cawnpore. When the task was done, and it was don* pretty neat­ ly, Britz relaxed his bold on pie half­ struggling men's throats and pushed them against the back cf thy sofa un­ til they half-sat half-lay there, head to head. Theo ho stepped back, reel­ ed his hands on his hlpe, and eyed them mockingly. "You ar* not very clever,” he said, "but anyway, you’re a fine-looking body of men. What do you think of yourselves, anyhow? Think you’ll cut out this 'second story’ game? Or will you content yourselves with the safer occupation of dips? My private advice to you is to try hencoops for a vhlle. Cut out the big circuit and go and get a reputation." How much of hla biting irony. If any, the Orientals understood they did not Indicate. They only gazed at him in dumb misery, evidently in ex­ pectation of an Ignoble end. They fol­ lowed Brits with their joint gaze as he paced up and down tho room, both pitifully watchful, and manifestly most wholesomely afraid. "You saw part of what these chaps were doing, Mr. Sands,” said Britz, “but what you saw was only ths last of ft I want to tell you the way they went through this room was amazing. I hope you didn’t lose many valu­ ables.” Banda, In his slow way, assured th* detective that It waa not likely the searchers had found anything he .would miss very greatly; but the Headquarters man was not satisfied. The mystery of th* proceeding, he was inclined to think, did not begin and end with the Orientals. It was possible, of course, they had searched Sands’ room simply as a matter of routine in the same way that at the first opportunity they probably would search the home of everyone who might be connected In any way with the Mlssloaev jewel robbery. Tet something stirred uneasily tn Britz’s mind as be reflected on th* possibility that the coming of the Orientals held a deeper significance. What If they had reason to believe they would sure­ ly find what they sought in that room? If Bands did not know there was jus­ tification for the search, why did he take It so calmly? It did not soem natural for a man to keep hla temper whoa* apartments had been Invaded so thoroughly. If th* millionaire had expressed any indignation he, Britz, would have felt bettor satisfied. Be­ sides, what was It the Hindoos had taken from Bands’ desk? Sands had not seen them take -anything, a* th«y were ending their search when he got the first glimpse of them. Britz watched Bands closely to see if th* millionaire’s eyes would turn anxi­ ously toward that part of his furni­ ture. He almost started when the first move Bands made, after finishing his task of binding the prisoners, was to saunter with a careless air across the room and. In passinc, glance swiftly and quostlonlngly Into the pigeon­ holes whence the thievee had ab­ stracted the mysterious articles that so actively engaged Britz’s always ac­ tive curiosity. "It** about up to us to do a little searching now. Isn’t it?" asked Brito. "Those bright young men have had their Innings, and I believe It’s our turn at baL What do you say, Mr. Bands?"

If you do not come or send me a check quickly, I shall have to sell some of the jewels. “MILLICENT." That wa* all. Whether that "all” was much or little, Britz, offhand, was not prepared to say. The use of Grte wold's given name at the beginning of the note apparently meant a good deal. But who was Mllllcent? In the course of his probing of the Mlssioner diamond mystery. Britx bad canvassed the complete visiting list of everyone who was In the opera boz on the night when tne falsity of the Maharanee diamond was discovered. He had bad compiled a social register of everyone Interested In the case—everyone that Mrs. Mlssioner. Bands, GriswoK, Miss Holcomb, Miss March, and the Swami knew. In all that long roster there was no one named "MillicenL” Neither, for that matter, was there a "Mil­ dred.” There tbe signature was, too clear to admit of any mistake.

NASHVILLE, MICHIGAN, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 23, 1911 VOLUME XXXIX Ask the Banker The average bank customer does not make nearly the full use of his banking privileges. Almost any bank is glad to give him advice on ordinary business matters and to point out to him the pitfalls into which he may be led through lack of financial experience. If a man wants to sell you stock in a mine that is going ^6 bring you in 1,000 per cent on your investment and that will be as big a producer as the Bonanza Mine of Nevada, it is likely that if you ask the bank about it they will tell you not to touch it, and you will be just so much ahead of the game as the amount you intended to invest. Banks like to take care of their customers, to help them to prosper and, if they are permitted, they will always do so by guiding them in safe financial and business channels. The people who flourish upon the inexperience and folly of persons who have money to invest would have a very hard time to make a living if everybody kept their money in a bank, and consulted their bank as to the quality of the, in­ vestments in which they propose to put it.

Shorn of Her Crown of Beaut; , I.unct In Love and Marriage. ■ Hair is certainly most necessary to woman. Who could love and marry a bald-headed woman? What charms could one array to offset such a dis­ figurement? A woman’s goal Is usually love and and marriage. Her crowning glory is her hair. The loss of her hair mars her beauty, happiness and suc­ cess. Yet, right here In Nashville, there are hundreds of women who are neglecting or Injuring their hair to such an extent that it is only a matter of time when It will be utter­ ly ruined. Many women destroy the beauty of their hair though thoughtlessness or Ignorance of certain facts. They use curling irons over-heated, or to punTBU oqi a£oj)sap qa|qa ‘ssdoxu oil of the hair, causing It to split, break and come out. They do not shampoo their hair often enough, or too often. They use soaps or prep­ arations which contain ingredients positively harmful to the scalp and hair. As a result of such treatment, dandruff is created, the hair loosens, loses color, falls out, and baldness commences, unless proper and prompt precautions are taken in time. Then again, microbes and cer­ tain diseases bring about unhealthy scalp and hair conditions. Almost any womaif may rid herself of dandruff and diseased scalp and hair if she will but use the right remedy. We have the remedy, and we will positively guarantee that It will either cure dandruff and bald­ ness or It will not cost the user any­ thing. That's a pretty broad statement, but we will back it and prove it with our own money.We will return your money if you do not find that Rexall *'93" Hair Tonic Is an entirely satlsfactory remedy that will promote hair growth and overcome scalp and h'.ir troubles; that it will grow hair even on bald heads, unless all life in the hair roots has been extinguished, the follicles closed, and the scalp glazed and shiny.

Wash the Blood Aching and enfeebled muscles should remind you of slowness of tis­ sue repair. Eruptions of the akin and catarrh of the mucous membranes show diminished nerve powe.- in the tissues. In health or disease there is need of an internal bath. This Is best ob­ tained by drinking a -glass of pure water with ons or two teaspoonfuls of SAN-JAK thirty to sixty minutes be­ fore breakfast, washing the blood. This passes quickly from the stomach and stimulates the bowels to increased peristalsis, overcoming constipation and its attendant Bls. It Is quickly absorbed and entering the blood stream bathes the cells of the liver and heart, then passes to the brain and washes out the cobwebs and awakens to new life every cell in the body. SAN-JAK dilutes the ropy secre­ tions and dissolves all abnormal crystallne substances that may be In the blood and urine. SAN-JAK greatly promotes elimination, creates down­ ward peristalsis, stimulates a flow of digestive juices. It dissolves the sticky mucous In the mouth and throat, allowing the membranes to be bathed in their natural secretion* San-Jak is the gre-t medium of ex­ change in the body, by enabling the kidneys to absorb and eliminate alka­ line sulphates which are the products of intestinal decomposition and in renal weakness or the real cause of Bright's disease.

Rheumatism, catarrh and bladder trouble, the source of trouble to hu­ manity, is due to a too high or low specific gravity which may be regu­ lated to normal by taking San-Jak.

Government Scores Victory Through Decision of Judge Kohlsaat That He Has No Jurisdiction In Matter of Writ—Defendants Remanded- Chicago, Nov. 20.—Counsel for the Chicago packers indicted under th* Sherman anti-trust fact succeeded in getting a delay until next Wednesday In the criminal trial, which was sched­ uled to begin today tn the United States district court. The delay was granted by Judge C. C. Kohlsaat in the United States cir­ cuit court after the defendants bad been defeated in efforts to make ef­ fective a writ of habeas corpus. An appeal to the United States Supreme court was allowed by Judge Kohlsaat Will Delay Trial. After deciding to quash tbe writ of habeas corpus and ordering the de­ fendants remanded to their sureties. Judge Koblsaat agreed to delay for­ mal entry of his decision and order until Wednesday morning. This, it la asserted, will postpone the opening of the criminal trial of the packers long enough to permit the Indicted men to get their appeal to the United States Supreme court, before they au­ tomatically accept jurisdiction In tbe district court by appearing at the trial there.' James Sheean of special counsel for the government, made sharp objection to this delay. Ruling on Corpus Writ. The court's decision on tbe habeas corpua writ follows: "From a reading of cases in which the federal habeas corpus act ha? been before the Supreme court, it becomes ;apparent that aa a rule the granting of a writ in cases in which the ques­ tions herein Involved have been pre­ ,sented. has not been favored by that ,court. The rule seems to be clear that only In certain cases, where excep­ tional circumstances arise, will the court separate the question Involved in the habeas corpus proceeding from the trial of the case. "It appears the petitioners rely up­ on the allegations as to the magni­ tude and volume of the business, which would entail great loss should the Supreme court hold the proceed­ ings' unconstitutional after the trial is bad. Cannot Take Jurisdiction. "It can hardly be claimed that the possibility of loss growing out of the trial would constitute special circum­ stances as contemplated tn tbe de­ cision of the court "It therefore follows that this court cannot take jurisdiction of tbe habeas corpus proceedings here under the circumstances now presented. More­ over, It appears that the district court has full jurisdiction of that matter and has passed upon that question, and to take tbe case at this time would practically amount to an at­ tempt io review the decision of that court "For these reasons the motion to quash and vacate the order granting the writ and dismiss the petition rdust be granted." a varied day with some Irish children, who hospitably ehareu their cold po­ tatoes, salt fish and crusts with me as we revelled In the ash heaps which then adorned the waste lands where the Albany depot now stands.

It needed no second glance to tell Mrs. Mlssloner that they had already met. She knew It tong before the Swami's dark eyea swung their twin search­ light glance tn ber direction. Mrs. Mlssloner recognized readily the mys­ terious stranger of the opera box. It was the first time she had seen him since the night tn which she dis­ covered the falsity of her jewels. For a moment, tbe sight of his swart face and piercing eyes recalled the pang with which she had learned of tbe loss of the Maharanee diamond. So it was with a most gracious smile that she Interrupted an Introduction by ber hostess and said: "We have met quite recently," as she tduched the tips of her white gloved fingers to those of the Ori­ ental. She went on: “You see I am more composed than at our last meet­ ing; but then, I dare say, yon were Dot troubled. Jewels, you know, mean so much to a woman.” “Some jewels mean more, Mrs. Mls­ sloner," said the Swami suavely. "1 thoroughly understand the sense of loss—In fact, the bereavement that came upon you when you found that beautiful necklace was not what you bad supposed It to be.” "I rather Imagine," Mrs. Mlssloner returned, "that you are not unfa­ miliar with the fact that It was the loss of one stone among the many which really grieved me." "You are right, my good friend." returned the Swami. "I will not pre­ tend to be Ignorant of the value you attached to the central gem—the Ma­ haranee diamond. You are not alone—" He checked himself abruptly. “It was a stone which well might command af­ fection from Its possessor. Time was when devotion would have been tbe word." They were strolling across the floor as they talked, and In a corner dis­ tant from the music tbe widow seated herself on a Louis Quinze chair and said, almost coaxingly: "I feel pretty sure you know more about the history of that jewel than I -do." “Indeed!” was the Swami's only con­ cession. “Yes, indeed and Indeed," said the widow, with a gay little laugh. “Of course, a sage cannot be expected to occupy bls thoughts with anything so frivolous as a diamond, however beau­ tiful. Yet I am convinced that If yon were to unbend from your meditations of the occult long enough to scan your memory, you would recall facts In connection with It that would be very Interesting to me." "May I Inquire your reason for so thinking, dear madam?” “It is a reasonable request on your part," she replied. "I remember my husband told me the stone had coma are not hopelessly addicted to cigars or glgarettes to the exclusion of all others forma of the weed, permit mo to suggest that when we have left you alone, you retire to the remote background of your apartment, put that in your pipe and-smoke it!" Banda became genuinely angry. It took a good deal to disturb bis equa­ nimity, but the detective's manner, as be saw it, was offensive. Sands seri­ ously meditated for an instant an at­ tempt to grasp the Headquarters man by the collar, rush him to the door, and drop him down at least one flight of statra. Tbe sleuth’s coolness and courage avoided any unpleasantness of that sort, and his unwilling host quickly regained bls grip upon him­ self. Tbe tension of the eltuatlon was re­ laxed by the buzzing of the electric bell at the outer door of the apart­ ment, and tbe entrance of a somewhat blustering bellboy with an announce­ ment that a patrol wagon was at the door and two policemen were asking for Detective Britz of Headquarters, who was visiting Mr. Sands. "Bring them up,” said Britz, wast­ Ing no further time on courtesy. Then he turned to tbe millionaire and said: “I wouldn't have brought the patrol wagon here. Mr. Sands, If you had been a little more considerate. A couple of plain-clothes men could have taken these fellows to the police sta­ tion easily enough; but, when a man. through a rush of emotion to the brain, or—for—some—other reason— makes faces at the law an openly as you have done, why, let the law take Its course. I say.” Sands maintained a dlgnlfled silence as a pair of bluecoats, stumbling over a bearskin rug tn the library, came Into the suite, and at a sign from Britz, seized the shrinking Orientals. One by one the prisoners were lifted, neck and heels, and taken to the pa­ trol wagon. Britz, of course, could have bad the bandages about thdlr feet removed, for ft would have been perfectly safe to let those sturdy po­ licemen escort them to the sidewalk In the ordinary way; but Britz was only human. The memory of the grip in which those very men had held him tn the ride along Riverside Drive, of ths smothering solitude of the desolate apartment house, and tbe struggle which bad followed, came to him In the moment when he was on the point of ordering tbe unfettering of the captives. With a grin that struck terror to their cringing Eastern souls, he said to them: “You two artists are so fond of silk that I guess I’ll 1st you wear those ornaments a little while longer." When the Hindoos were gone Britx turned to Sands, and said with* em­ phasis: . “If you experience a change of heart, Mr. Banda, I shall be very glad to bear from you In regard to what you found on your dark friend. Of course, since you are In your own rooms, and since the article was evi­ dently stolen In this place by the fel­ low, I cannot compel yon, without a great deal of trouble; to let me see it It Is not at all cartein It would be worth my- while to take that trouble; but it may dawn upon you before very long that It will be well worth your while.

Almost any bank is glad to give him advice on ordinary business matters and to point out to him the pitfalls into which he may be led through lack of financial experience. If a man wants to sell you stock in a mine that is going to bring you in 1,000 per cent on your investment and that will be as big a producer as the Bonanza Mine of Nevada, it is likely that if you ask the bank about it they will tell you not to touch it, and you will be just so much ahead of the game as the amount you intended to invest. Banks like to take care of their customers, to help them to prosper and, if they are permitted, they will always do 30 by guiding them in safe financial and business channels. The people who flourish upon the inexperience and folly of persons who have money to invest would have a very hard time to make a living if everybody kept their money in a bank, and consulted their bank as to the quality of the in­ vestments in which they propose to put it.

After the game, Union's coach and many of the players of both Union high and Central high hunted up Coach Appleton and asked him to ex­ plain the play to them. It was a new one, characterized by all as exception­ ally clever, and while at first some of the Union players were inclined to questio'n the legality of the play un­ der the rules, when It was figured out to them they had to admit that the play was legal and that they had simply been outwitted. Nashville has nothing but praises for their treatment at Grand Rapids. The game was an exceptionally clean one in every way, the best of friend­ ship exists between the players, the officials were highly satisfactory and above criticism, and the treatment of the visiting team by their oppo­ nents and by everybody connected with the game was most kindly and courteous.

Time of quar­ ters, 15, 15, 10, 10. Notes of the Game. The Nashville team was put up at the Y. M. C„A. building, where they had fine quarters. Union’s dismay, when they found that they had been outwitted at the last end of the game, was comical. Brumm hit the line frequently for gains of two to ten yards. Union usually located Jack at the end of a white streak. Union high had a bunch of rooters out. and their yells and rooting were great. Nashville’s little band made most of their noise at .the finish. The shifting of Coolbaugh from guard to tackle did not lessen his playing ability, as he played the most consistent game since he has been on the team. The game was played on a slip­ pery Held, which was responsible for Irland’s mishap, as well as for many hard falls and considerable fumbling by both teams. . Ehret was unable to make his us­ ual gains through the line, as Un­ ion was exceptionally strong on his side, but he made good on several end runs, and played a steady gamiall the way. Messimer got away once for a 30yard gain, only to be called back be­ cause the referee had blown his whis­ tle, thinking Messimer had been stop­ ped when he was only side-stepping an opponent. The Nesman brothers were a tow­ er of strength in the line for light­ weights. Although It was Glenn’s first game, he filled his position cred­ itably and assures Nashville of a strong lineman for next year. Albert Nesman, Irland and Dell­ ar played their last game for Nash­ ville Saturday, as all will finish school before another season, and Irland and Dellar have their full four years of football, which would pre­ vent their playing next season, even If they did not ftnlsh school. Little Jack Downing, playing his first game, was one of the stars, on three occasions darting through the line like a rat-terrier and getting big Johnson, the heavy man of Union, who was all through the game the hardest man for Nashville to stop. Jack ought to be a winner another season. Kyser and Mater are a prize pair of ends. They spoiled Union’s dou­ ble passes until Union gave It up In disgust, and It was a play they bad banked upon to gain, and they often nailed the Union fullback as soon as he get the ball. No team that has played with Nashville this year has a pair of ends who work together as cleverly as these boys do. Nashville’s bunch of rooters was loyal to the end, and had their re­ ward for It when they saw Burdick get away with a clear field for a touchdown. The kid nearly run his head off. expecting every step to feel a tackier’s arms around his knees, but there was no one within a stone’s throw of him except Dellar. who went along for interferance should It be­ come necessary. Among those who made the trip to Grand Rapids Saturday were Will Mater. A. C. Siebert, F. J. White. Ray McMillen, Carl Lentz. Frank Purchlss, Leon Patridge. Bob Messimer, Mr. and Mrs. Leu W. Felghner and daughter Vada, Misses Villa Parrott and Aura Munroe. Nearly all of these, besides Coach Appleton and the majority of the team, remained for the evening and attended "Ele­ vating a Husband" at Powers’ thea­ ter. • Irland’s Injury, which occurred in first half, was a severe one. but he stayed in the game and would not give up until nearly the close of the third quarter, when he was sent to a physician, who found that there was a fracture of the small bones in the elbow. The physician gave him what assistance he could and Irland came back to the field In time to see his team win the game. The arm Is mending nicely and with good care will soon be all right again. Feighner’a injury is quite painful, and will bother him for several weeks, but it is not thought that It will result in any serious trouble. In an article In the Grand Rapids Press of Tuesday night an effort Is made to show that the play by which Nashville scored Its touchdown was illegal under the rules, but the play was allowed by the officials, all for­ mer college players and all Grand Rapids men. The play has been used repeatedly by M. A. C. for good gain? and Its legality has never been ques­ tioned. Coach Mazurkiowlcz should learn to take defeat like a true sportsman and not cob his head ofi because his men were outwitted on n clever play which Is clearly permlsslble under I ho rules.

I CHAPTER X1X. Ths Mysterious MlllicenL Britz streaked from Sands' apart­ ment to a dingy little den of a shop on the top fleor of a downtown business rookery—one of the sky­ scrapers of a quarter-century before. It was much more tedious to climb the five flights of stairs to the sixth story than to shoot in an express ele­ vator Uy the summit of the Singer Building. But Britz was too hot on the scent to pay much attention to his fatigue. He ran up the stairs lightly, flung open a crazy outer door that creaked an announcement of his com­ ing. and pushed a bit of paper toward * young man of modern physique and 7:00 Io 10:00 a. m. John Ackett RECIPES, BOOK AND CAREFUL DIAGNOpnrr •IS AND OPINIONS bKHK OF ALL FORMS OF DIB- ■ Hbb WORTH S1O.OO. TRY THE WANT COLUMN 1 CENT A WORD. ParRTFI joimnoHEr^TAR beach. The paper was the note be ginning "Curtis dear." and ending with the first name of the mysterious Mib llcent. The anachronistic young man looked at it inquiringly through steel­ rimmed spectacles. "Rush a hundred copies of thia. Bur­ ien." said Britz. "I’ll send for them in a couple of hours." The detective seated himself on a stool behind the bench, and for several minutes watched the photo engraver at his work. His mind was not behind his eyes, however. He was busy with the possibilities unfolded by the little sersp of paper he had found In the Hindoo burglar's possession. The Headquarters man never was in a hur- ue; nevertheless, he felt he had at last romethtng which, if not a direct link between his knowledge and his suppositions, would go far toward con­ necting them. That the note was ad­ dressed to Curtis Griswold he had little doubt It required small effort of rearc* Ing tn conclude that the East­ erners had gone to Sands’ apartment soon after visiting Griswold. But this time. Britz had learned enough to convince him that the Brahmin scholar Mlssloner necklace aa he was—to get the Maharanee diamond, anyway, if not all the other gems belonging to the famous string. By a patient, patchwork process, Britz had piec'd together the tiniest details of the Swami's movements. He knew ■ all , .about the scholar's pretence tn the Metropolitan Opera House on the night of tne disappearance of the jew­ els, and he bad made himself ac­ quainted with the system of espionage maintained by the sage and his,sub­ ordinates ever since that time. That system, he was aware, covered every­ one connected, hokrever distantly, with the mystery. It was apparent to Britz that be was working against men who, while not trained detectives in the Occidental sense, were fully as persistent in their quest as himself. There was no question the Swami had directed all the energies of the East­ erners which the detective bad follow­ ed interestedly throughout their vari­ ous manifestations. Britz was con­ vinced that he had the Brahmin priest to thank for his own kidnaping: and he was equally certain that the same little band of brothers bad searched the homes of Bruxton Sands and Cur­ tis Griswold. He was not given to at­ taching much weight to intuition, re­ garding that faculty aa a pale and us­ ually ineffective feminine reflection of masculine logic. But something told him he must be­ stir himself even more vigorously than he had done to date, if he was to trace the Mlssloner diamonds before the suave, subtle men from the East could find them and put them forever be­ yond the reach of any Westerner. One thing was In his favor. Undoubt­ edly he had broken the Swami’s line of communication by seizing the spies before they could report the finding of the MllUcent note in Sands' apartment. He had a vague sense that the scrap of paper would be of immediate value as a clue, to the Brahmin—that if he had not Intercepted It, the scholar b) now would have been close upon th< discovery of the diamonds. It remain ed for Britz himself to ascertain the Identity and whereabouts of Millicen. before the Oriental prisoner^ coua communicate with their chief- Tho*< prisoners were safe enough for th< present in the Tenderloin Police SU tlon: but, although It was In the de tectlve's power to prevent their im mediate arraignment In the Night Court by a word to the precinct com tnander, he could not long keep them In cells. They were entitled to a ipeedy examination, before the magi: trate, and he was certain that unles their failure to report to the Swam! should alarm that gentleman sooner steps would be taken tn the momlnf to have the prisoners produced If court. They were sure to be arraign ed In Jefferson Market at next day’? afternoon session, If not earlier. Britz felt that, once in their presence, the Swami, though he might be separated from them by the length of the room would find means to learn all they knew, to the last microscopic detail He must find MllUcent that night That done, he had little doubt h<would be close to the Mlssloner jew els. and probably to the person who had taken them from their snug har­ bor in Mrs. Mlssloner's library. "I’ll send for the copies. Burien.” Britz said, as he slipped from the stool and started to the door, "but don't let the original leave your hands until I call for it myself." The det ctlve was so. absorbed In his thoughts as he walked down flight after flight of the dark stairs that b< did not see a pair of eyes gleamlnr from one of the lower halls. Those eyes were aa black as the darkness that formed their background, and the Headquarters man would have been even more than ordinarily on the alert if he had seen them glistening in the remote recess. As the detective passed on toward the street, the eyes ad vanced along the dusk of the hall, and in the faint glow of a lowered gas-jet at the foot of one of the higher flight of stairs, there became visible behind them a man who, in most respect*, was a counterpart of the two Orientals at that moment detained In the West Thirtieth Street Station. The owner of the eyes, while Britz walked down stairs, as quickly ana far mors quietly went up. Britz turned his steps toward 300 Mulberry Street In his own office, after a glance Into Manning’s room that showed him It was empty, he call­ ed Dr. Fitch on the telephone and made an appointment to meet him In two hours in the bar of the Holland House. “It’s one of the quietest places la Manhattan." said the detective, “and I want to talk to you very privately. They are not likely to know me Britz pushed a button, and when a Headquarters attendant appeared, sent him for the Central Office man, heur and a half, Rawson,” **id Brits to the other detective. “He’ll have a hundred facsimiles of a letter signed MlllicenL Have as many men as poe- that tignature. *I*hey will hare to look through every register for a year past It’s got to be done thoroughly, and I want It done quickly. Here, I’ll give yon a list,” and he hastily scribbled the names of a half-hundred bostelries of a class such as he thought the fair MllUcent might patronise. ’’ of sleep, he had himself baked, steam­ ed, chilled, kneaded, and pounded Into shape. . The great detective's indulgence In that luxury all unknowingly gave to the other side an advantage tn the race for the Mlssloner jewels that well might prove fatal to his success. Long before Britz reached the hot-air room of the bath, the man with the glisten­ ing eyes who had passed him in the ball ot the tumble-down loft building M'as at the door of Burien's workshop, straining the angle of bls vision to fol­ low the photo-engraver at work. Those glittering eyes forcused their gaze through the keyhole on a piece of pa­ per which Burien had fastened with thumbtacks to a board, and which, in the glare of an arc lamp, confronted a big camera with a powerful lens. Al­ though the eyes followed Burien as well aa they could about the room, their owner was not bo much Interest­ ed In the artisan's activity as he was In the small white sheet of paper on which he could discern lines traced In a woman’s hand. Patiently waited the owner of the eyes. He was of a race that had cultivated patience through the centuries. Soon, or late, undoubt­ edly, the man Inside would go from Lhe bench beside that great white light to another part of the room. A few yards would suffice for the man with the eyes, and even while Britz still was talking to Rawson In Police Headquarters. Burien briskly covered those dozen or so feet to get a cbem leal in the row of bottles in the rack at the far end of the shop. The man outside, crouching until he was little higher than an upreared cobra of his native land, slipped through the door way. crawled across the Intervening space between the threshold and the camera, whisked the MllUcent note from the board, and as silently made his escape before Burien had replaced the cork In the bottle. By the time Detective-Lieutenant Britz was en­ veloped In the fog of the steam room, that little note was In the possession of the Swami and Prince Kananda, and those worthies were studying it so swiftly and so profitably that ere Britz took hi* cold plunge, the sage and the Maharajah's son made a swifter, deeper dive toward the heart of the Mlssloner mystery. Il was as a result of what they learned from Mllllcent's missive that the Swami and the Prince went separately to the ballroom of Doris Mlssloner's most fashionable friend. It was also In ronsequence of the information glean­ ’d from those petulant feminine lines that the Swami found Mrs Mlssloner's oclety so interesting, and that ths Prince, before and after that tete-a ete. experienced keen curiosity con earning the doings, chaiacterlstlcs. ;nd state of mind of Curtis Griswold. The third result of MIHIcent's little letter and the Easterners' joint visit to the Fifth Avenue ballroom, was 'heir dash In separate cats to a bach­ elor apartment in a side street just off Central Park, where, shortly after their several arrivals, they were Id close consultation for an hour or more with AH. the supposedly devoted re­ tainer ot the rich Mrs. Mlssloner Ftor the second note to Curtis Gris­ wold that fell into the hands of the Hindoos—the one Prince Kananda in­ tercepted at the door of the Fifth Ave­ nue mansion in ghlch the great ball was held—was written on a letterhead that revealed to Nandy and the Swami an address they very much de­ sired to know. Had that address found its way to Detective-Lieutenant Brits as soon, it would have saved him much delay, and would have spared a large part of the city's detective force the neceeaity of a laborious search through Manhattan's hotel registers. Burien was one of the moot aston­ ished young men tn lower Manhattan when, turning from his row of bottles, he found the note entrusted to him by Britz had vanished. At first be as­ sumed he had fastened it carelessly and that It had fallen to ths floor. A quick hunt showed him he was wrong. He extended bls search to every part of the room, and It was not until he had disturbed the dust of age® that he realized the scrap of paper actually was gone. His sensations following that realization were not of the pleas­ antest Britz was one of his best cus­ tomers. and he knew fr~— the detec­ tive's earnestness the note was of ex­ ceptional Importance. It solaced him only in part to find on taking the plate from the camexa and putting it through a developing process that the lens had done Its work more faithfully than he. He held in his hand a perfect duplicate of the letter. That would not satisfy Britz, of course, but it was better than it would have been* If the note had disappeared before the photo­ graphing was complete. Burien hastento subject the little plate of copper to the acid bath, and as the minute points of the halftone came out with gratllying distinctness, the young man rejoiced that he at least was able to produce the factimi'es the Headquar­ ters man had ordered. Remorse spurred him so effectively that all the hundred Impressions were ready when Rawson eent for them.

Half a dozen men of undoubted fash­ ion were in the cafe when BriVz and Fitch draped themselves over one end of the bar, and began absorbing long, cold drinks in punctuation of their In­ terested talk. "Ws’re getting warm, aa th* youngstera say,” said Britz, and he told him of all that had happened sines their last meeting.

I’m puzzled on one point however, and that’e what I wanted to see you about What do you know about Bruxton BandsV "I know he’s all right” Filch re­ plied. "One of the best ever."

"You think that square look of bls Is not a front, then?" inquired the de­ tective. "Nu." said the doctor, who talked more at his ease with the detective than he would have dreamed of doing with any of his fashionable patient*. "He's ’the goods.’ ’’ "Well,” rejoined the sleuth, "I'm glad to hear you say so. I don’t mind telling you he made me a Httle sus­ picious this evening. I must say that for an honest man his attitude was a little queer." "In what way?" "Well." said Britz, "he wouldn’t let me see a bit of paper that mlffht have helped me a whole lot in this matter; and just for a moment I began to won­ der whether he was as ea«er to have the Mlssloner mystery solved as be pretended to be." ..“There's no pretense about Bruxton Sands," said Fitch very positively. “He does want this thing straightened out and he wouldn’t do anything in any way, tf he could help It to hinder you." Britz then told the physician more fully how stubborn Bands had been in regard to the note the millionaire himself had taken from one of the Hindoo burglars. 'Til admit It seemed strange." said Htch. “But If you go on the assump­ tion there is anything wrong behind it, you’ll lose your point Sands is aa square a* they make ’em." (TO BE CONTINUED.)

N’mIi vllle Clean* up on l^inHtoK In* dependent in Lunt Game of Nashville High defeated the Lan­ sing Independents Thursday at Riv­ erside park by the overwhelming score of 20 to 0. The ground was frozen, .making It unpleasant for the players, but the game was fast and exciting throughout. , The flrat quarter opened with the home boys defending the south goal. During this period both sides resort­ ed almost entirly to line bucks, at which Nashvlle clearly had the best of It. In the few open plays used, little was gained by either side. Dur­ ing tbe last part of the quarter Nash­ ville worked the ball to Lansing’s 20-yard line, where Brumm tried a drop kick, which fell short and roll­ ed over the goal llner where Mater was on ft like a flash for the first touchdown of the game. The hull was punted out and "Big Mary" kicked goal, making the scoie 6-0. The rest of the quarter was played in Lansing’s territory. In the second quarter Nashville opened up a few fake plays which were doing telling work, but the Lansing players were game and when It came to crucial moments held Nashville and the quarter ended without a score by either side. At the opening of the third quar­ ter Nashville commenced using the forward pass, all of which worked for good gains until they had the ball on Lansing’s fifteen yard line, Brumm broke through for a touch­ down and Deller scored another point with his mighty toe. The rest of the quarter the play was confined to the middle of the field. In the fourth quarter Lansing’s right tackle, Graves, was badly bumped and was forced to leave the field. It was In this quarter that Nashville showed her true strength. With a spirit that was inspiring, they tore through Lansing’s line almost at will. The line men opened holes on every scrimmage and Kyser. Brumm and Ehret plowed through for repeated gains, the climax com­ ing when Kyser broke through the line and shaking off the back field men run twenty yards, planting the ball squarely between the posts for another touchdown. Deller again kicking goal. In the last part of the quarter Lansing tried to punt, but Albert Nesman evidently didn’t want them to punt, so he tore through tbe line and blocked the punt. The ball rolled behind lensing's goal line, where it was recovered by Marsh, but Nesman w as upon him like a flash and downed him behind the line for a safety, adding two more points to Nashville's score, a total of 20. After two more minutes of play, in which no material advantage was gained by either side, the time whistle blew and a happy band of rooters proced­ ed Main street, where the game was played over again around the fires at different headquarters. Too much credit can not be given the new men In the line, Jack Down­ ing and Glenn Nesman. Both play­ ed like veterans and were in on every play. In fact the entire team put up a game to be proud of. Nearly all of the team will be In school next year, and Coach Appleton is assured that' will mainof a team for 1912 ” ’ tain the reputation the boys have gained this year.

Under tbs term fanner in thia connection we in­ clude more particularly those engaged Ln general farming rather than the dairy or beef producing specialist. Tbe general farmer la not so apt to prepare for emergencies as the spe­ cialist. Following the severe drought of the past season there Is a marked shortage of farm feeds accompanied by unusually high prices for tbe same. Under these conditions It Is a com­ mon practice for the farmer to dis­ pose of most of bis cattle at a sacri­ fice rather than purchase the neces­ sary high-priced commercial feeds. Where this Is done a long period us­ ually elapses before the farm is re­ stocked. A great deal can be accomplished in the economic wintering of dry cows, stockers. and even young grow­ ing animals if the coarser, less val­ uable farm crops are properly pre-' Pared and utilized. There is much feeding value in the straw of such crops as oats, wheat, beardless and huiless barley, cornstalks, corn fod­ der, etc.. If properly utilised. But very undesirable results have oc­ curred in cases where some one or two of these feeds alone have been used throughout the entire season without special preparation or com­ bination with other feeds as In the case of rye straw and corn stalks. A woody, difficultly digestible comblnatlon such as these two feeds con­ tains too great an excess of dry woody fiber which after long continued use is apt to lead to serious digestive troubles. On the other band, how­ ever, If these feeds are made more palatable and supplemented by small quantities of other feeds good results may be secured. English and Scotch feeders use straw with roots and some meal for dairy cows and beef cattle. Much can be done to make coarse feeds more palatable, but the Amer­ ican farmer objects to the expense of putting bey. straw, corn sulks, etc., through the cuttine box. m«ln»«>nlnt! the same and mixing a little meai with it On the other nand, the term­ ers' time Is not generally fully occu­ BUSINESS TRAINING for COUNTRY BOYS ud GIRLS By PROF W. A. McKEEVER In the rush of carrying on the wort of the farm and *arm home, the coun­ try boy aud girl are very likely to । suffer in respect to their business training. Each may be given a small amount of property or a small Inter­ est in tbe business of the farm or home, or a suitable wage for the work performed. Thus some specific les­ sons In economic thrift may be Incul­ cated. There Is here again great need that the authorities work out a plan of procedure. But while we are wait­ ing for them to do so we may resort to a few methods that have proved very helpful Ln imparting the instruction here considered essential. First of all. It is desirable that tbe boy and girl be made' familiar with the details. of tbe farm business. The father should take bia bod Into hia confidence and familiarize him with pracf'rally every business deal, the prioe paid and the price received: the methods of buy­ ing at an advantage and of Belling at a profit; the methods of keeping the farm accounts and of reinvesting the money returns—all these and many other such may be profitably revealed to the understanding of the growing boy. Moreover, his business training will be greatly aided It he be direct­ ed in conducting on a small scale ac­ tual business transactions of bis own. In addition he may be given repeated­ ly the task of taking charge of the minor affairs of shopping, marketing, and the like. Country youths are proverbially crude in their business methods, and that chiefly for want of practice. A similar sort of business transac­ tion may and should be given tbe girl growing up in the farm home. Let it be seen to that she have some small property, or money, or at least a rea­ sonable income of her own, and that she be taught Uy slow degrees how to make a reasonable use of this Income 1n tbe management of her personal afJairs. Above all things else, be cer­ tain that she be given as much for what wort she performs as would have to be paid for such performance by an ordinary employe. Then, add to this a small amount for the sake of the good will and affectionate regard that naturally exists between parents and daughter. Every step in the bualBess training of tbe young woman will pied In the winter and the extra wort is more than justified when hay Is worth 920 per ton, concentrates >25 to >30 and straw >5 to >10. The following plan was employed one winter on our home farm when feeds were scarce and high priced. Tbe feeds available were limited quantities of wheat, oat, barley and pea straw, a goodly quantity of corn fodder and roots and a very limited amount of grain. All coarse fodder was run through tbe cutting box dropping Into a feed room 18 feet square and nine feet high, as follows: A small load of corn fodder would be cut first and spread on the floor fol­ lowed by a thin layer of pulped roots followed by a small load of cut straw and then a thin layer of meal on which was put a layer of hay. These layers were then moistened with water supplied by a hose from tbe barn tank. Succeeding layers were placed upon these in order till the feed room was filled. This feed was consumed with great relish and even more so after it had begun to heat a little There was absolutely no waste of feed and the cattle, num­ bering about 60 head old and youfg. came out in good shape In the spring It required two half-days per week to prepare the feed, the power being procured from an old-fashioned sweep power, now replaced by the more con­ venient steam or gas engines. The litter used was sawdust procured from a near-by mill. The extra labor in­ volved in thus preparing the feed on justified In utilizing every available I rough scrap as market quotations were ranging about the prices here­ tofore given. Ordinarily th<- farmer docs not have the variety of rough feeds used Id the Illustration. Every farmer with live stock to winter over should have si) age or roots, or even both. There are very few farmers who do not have time in winter to prepare-the coarse crop products and render them more palatable and nourishing for their stock. Those caught by tbe serious situation of the present season should not in the future neglect to provide «ucculence to be fed with the straw and corn stalks ns an emergency ra tlon. consist hr gfrfng her much practice In 'be affatrr which re'st* to the Mfeota woman ixr tbe home One of the great est elements of sterling character of the homemaker is that of being able 0 manage economically (be home st­ airs Tbe wife Is neee sarlly a conserver and disbun-er, and not a pro­ ducer of the family income.

Poultry Food In Winter. Every month during the winter see the poultry building should be well-supplied with clean straw, leaves or litter of some kind. Into which the feed la thrown In the morning to keep the hens busy. Plenty of succulent food should be supplied during winter months, to take the place of grass. Potato peel­ ings, cabbage roots, celery tops and such things are relished by bens and keep the flock healthy. In summer hens pick up quantities of Insects and worms and this form of food must be supplied In winter by scraps of meat, cut bone, etc. sod Customers and Farmers. It ia much more pleasant to market produce If It can always be taken to regular customers who are expecting you and who appreciate getting goods of known quality. City customers are always willing to give good cash prices because they know produce Is fresher and given In full weight and measure.

Expanda and the Swami, In tbe up­ town bachelor apartment whither they ■ped from the Fifth avenue ballroom, beat about a table on which wore spread various diagrams. All, Mrs. MlMloner’s servant, stood at ■ re­ spectful distance. He wore a con­ cerned look that Intimated he had been subjected to some pretty sou questioning by his masters. The blghcaste Orientals paid little attention to him. They leaned over the table un­ til their heads almost touched, study­ ing diligently the papers that lay upon it, occasionally following the lines with pencils, and pausing to make hurried calculations on the margins ol the sheets. At length the Swami leaned back and gazed fixedly at the prlnoe. "It is evident we're on the right track at last," he ssdd. "Chunda and Gazlm could not have done their work thoroughly." “They didn't do it at all, when it comes to that,” answered the prince. "Instead of finding only a loose end of the thread, they ought to have un­ tangled the whole skein.’’ "However.” said the Swami, "this note shows my original suppositions were accurate. The Jeweb were t* ken by thfe man who trod on the false diamond in the opera box." “It looks as if It were so,” Kananda replied. "Tbe question Is, where are they sow?'' "The woman has them," returned the scholar. "Unless,” sneered Nandy, 'she la besting our enterprising clubman at his own game. How do you know she hasn’t sold them?" “This note—" “Ob, I know all about that,” laughed tho prince. “It is plain you have not given sufficient thought to the ways of these western women. If only you woqld take your head out of those esoteric clouds once in a while, and come to earth for a look around, you wou’dn't be quite so ingenuous." “But she says In this note she will have to sell some of the jewels," the Swami persisted. “That certainly in­ dicates they are still in her posses­ sion." "On tbe surface it does," said Nandy. “But tbe woman when she wrote it could not have auppoeed It was to be read by anyone save Griswold.” “How do you know she didn’t in­ tend to deceive him?” asked Kananda.

Whatever bis theory, there was nothing hesiant about it. He held in regard to he sex only the most settled opin­ ions. “It seems to me,” said the Swami, "that your conoluifona are pretty far fetched.

The Sophomore class of Western College recently presented a play in three acts before the students. The play, “The Century Plant,” picturing Western in 1881, 1911 and 196), presented many ludicrous compari­ sons and local hits.

Facts About Indigestion and Its Rclief Should Interest You. Although Ind’geslion and Dyspep­ sia are so prevalent, most neopie do not thoroughly understand tneir cause and cure. There is no reason why most people should not eat anything they desire-—if they will only chew ii.care.fully and thoroughly. Many actually starve themselves into sickness through fear of eating every good-looking, good-smelling, and good-tasting food, because it does not agree with them. Tne best thing to do is to fit your­ self to digest any good food. We believe we can relieve Dyspep­ sia. We are so confident of this fact that we gaurantee and promise to sup­ ply the medicine free of all cost to every one who will use it, who is not perfectly satisfied will) the results it produces. We exact n*» promises, and put do one under any obligations whatever. Surely, nothing could be fairer. We are located right here and our reputation should be sufficient wssuranoe of the genuineness of our OffiM*. We want every one troubled with In­ digestion or Dyspepsia in any form to come to our store and buy a box of Bexall Dyspepsia Tablets. Take them home and give them a reasonable trial, according to di-ecilons. Then. If not satisfied, come to us and get your money back. They are very pleasant to take; they aid to soothe the irritable stomach, to strengthen and invigorate the digestive organs, and to promote a heal th v and natural bowel action, thus leading to perfet t and healthy digestion and asslmila ion. A 25c. package of Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets furnishes 15 days’ treatment. In ordinary cases, this is sufficient to produce a cure. In more chronic cases, a longer treatment, of course, is nec­ essary, and depends upon the severity of the trouble. For soon cases we have two larger sizes which sell for 50c. and 61.00.

Cbarile, you remember It— with all tbe apple trees behind the house?” Well did the man remember the orchard where he had spent the au­ tumn evening with his sweetheart. That evening found Stearns walk­ ing toward the creek. " I wonder bow the old place looks," he thought. There was the old-fashioned house, the porch with tbe long steps. Every­ thing was as if the old days were still there. A figure moved about in the parlor. He knew well where the parlor was. He heard the oigan. It was Stella’s favorite air. He paused and his eyes filled with tears as he heard that voice again. Slowly he ascended the steps and pulled the bell. The playing stopped and ho heard footsteps. The door opened and the light of the hall streamed upon his face. It was evident that the woman fail­ ed to recognize him, for she looked askance as ho spoke. "Is this Stella Harrington?" he be­ gan. but tbe sound of his voice made her start. “Charles Stearns, have you coma back?" she gasped, and followed him into the room. "So, Stella, you are keeping house alone now! You—you have not chang­ ed very much, either," he said earn­ estly. He saw that her once golden tresses were streaked with gray, yet much of the youthful beauty remained and ho found his heart quickening as he gazed at the woman. “And you are the great banker they would have us believe—little Charlie Stearns, who used to be my tease at school?" Neither bad touched on the subject which seemed to be in the minds of both. At last the man could remain client no- longqf.

He bad been on his way to San Francisco to spend Christmas with bls favorite married sister; and midway, in tho most barren desert of the country, a bridge had been swept away by winter gales. His destina­ tion could not possibly be reached un­ til Christmas was well over. Wallingford cast a glance out over the wide stretch of rolling plains with only a few scattered shacks to break their endless waste; and then he looked back to his bulging suit case. The latest and most wonderful toys be could find in the city shops were crowded into that bag, for bis sister's only boy. Then, sot caring whether or not a highwayman might be looking In at the window of the parlor car, he took a small box from his waist­ coat pocket and looked sorrowfully at a ring from which three exquisite diamonds flashed back at him. Wallingford leaned back in h1s chair and in imagination pictured bls sister's joy when flipping that ring on her finger. He could hear her scold him for his extravagance and chaff hfin for having no one else for whom to buy such baubles. He sighed and returned It to his pocket much as he might have cast It to the depths of tbe sea: It would do him as much good there as it would in his pocket under the present circumstances. Wallingford was reconciled to & Christmas dinner over a lunch coun­ ter when bls eye caught the name of Yankville. Yankvllle probably boast­ ed a near-thousand inhabitant, yet Yankvllle also suggested the name of Everly—Jack Everly. When Walling­ ford had last heard of Jack Everly the latter was located in -Yankvllle. That was some eighteen months be­ fore, but there was no reason why he should not be there still. It seemed that everyone in Yankville knew the Everly Homestead. It was tbe only one of any proportions In the village. The red glow from an open fire within cheered Wallingford’s numbed faculties as be rang the bell at the Everly door. On the face of her who opened the door, surprise was the principal ex­ pression. For, Wallingford, his sixfoot-two encased In a great fur coat all dangling with glistening snow beads and his handsome glowing face looking frankly Into her own, was a surprise for any eves. She did not wait for him to explain his errand but with the matron's priv­ ilege of hospitality invited him Into the warr^h of the house. "It was too cold to stand outside," she explained and waited for his question. "I am Bob Wallingford," he began mevting the easy cordial expression of her blue eyes. "I am one of the belated passengers of the bridge tieup and decided to run over and see ff Jack Everly would take pity on an old friend and—" "Jack Everly left Yankvlllea smile played about her Ups at men­ tion of the Illustrious village, "some six or seven months ago—" Embarrassment, disappointment and surprise mingled equally in .Walling­ ford’s face and did not escape the eyes of Sylvia Vale. She spoke with ready tact "Take off that great coat, anyvrny, and come into the fireside. It’s no night to be out" Wallingford followed the slim gray­ clad figure in a decidedly chaotie state of mind. Mingled with bls era-, barrassment at having walked Into an absolute stranger’s house, was the sudden attraction he felt for this girl with the sun-lit hair. Something—the combination perhaps—was making him feel like a tongue-tied schoolboy. It was a most unusual state of mind for Bob Wallingford. There was a patter of little feet and a tiny boy of three years threw, himself into Wallingford’s arms. "Ob-h! Are you Santa. Claus T" he cried gleefully. *T heard your sleigh bells and saw your big fuxxy coat! Mamma, isn't tip Santa Claus?" The child’s mother would have spoken but Wallingford's eyes plead­ ed for silence.

The ship had lain becalmed in a tropical sea for three days. Not a breath df air stirred the mirror-like surface of the sea and the sails bung limp‘from the yards, like drapery carved from marble. The captain resolved to wait no longer for wind. He piped all hands on deck and requested 'all passengers to come forward. "I must ask all of you," he said, "to give me every match you have." Wonderlngly, all obeyed. The cap­ tain collected every match the ship in this manner. Then he threw them all overboard—all but one. Then he took his pipe from his pocket and filled it with tobacco. As crew and passengers looked breath­ lessly on, he struck that one match— the only one aboard—and attempted to light his pipe with IL Instantly a furious gale swept over the deck.

GENUINE CASTOR IA ALWAYS Judging from the inquiries and specimens sent to the department of botany this past summer, no disease of apple or pear Is more common than fire blight. Every pear or apple or­ chard visited showed cankers caused by this disease. It is too often the case that fruit growers do not recog nlio symptoms of this disease and It is notorious that many make no at­ tempt to combat IL The first thing necessary in fighting this disease Is to know Its symptoms From tbe larger limbs and from the water shoots ("suckers”) the blight cankers on the trunk may start —commonly called body blight This body blight frequently kills the whole Fire blight Is caused by bacteria. It is therefore a disease comparable to tuberculosis, the one being a dis­ ease of plants and the other a disease of animals, but each caused by a defi­ nite organism or germ, belonging to the group called bacteria. The bacteria which cause fire blight lives over In many of the old cank­ ers. In tbe spring, from these old cankers, the germs oose out in gum­ my, sticky drops and each drop con­ tains millions of the organisms. Bses and other Insects visit these drops and thus carry the germs to the flowers. In the nectar of the flowers the germs multiply enormously and bees passing from flower to flower, dipping Into the nectar, spread the germs throughout the trees in the orchard. Fire blight on either apple or pear usually starts in the blossoms. It can also start in growing twigs—wa­ ter shoots ("sudkers") especially, and it has been shown that the fruit bark borer is very active in spreading the blight Once inside the twig, tbe ad­ vance of the disease is rapid. Tbe twig Is killed, the bark becomes wa­ ter-soaked and finally black. The leaves, dead and curled, ding to the tips. In the apple, this twig blight Success in controlling fire blight de­ la the most common form, but in tbe pends on three things. First, recog­ nition of the symptoms of the dis­ ease; second, constant vigilance; third, frequent inspection of the apple and pear orchard.

MU In casting about for glfta that are Inexpensive but attractive- and worth while, nothing will be found more sat­ isfying than handkerchiefs. They are made in the greatest variety in sloe, decoration, quality and style. Manu­ facturers design them for many uses and consider the needs of those who convert them into accessories of dress and furnishings. Any number of the personal belongings of women and children are easily made from them, and, what with the real beauty of tho handkerchiefs and the hand work in­ volved, these little gifts embody the essentials of tasteful Christmas gifts; no matter how small the cost Handkerchiefs for fancy work and dress accessories may be bought for less money than other equally attrac­ tive articles. They will coat-from five to fifty cents each. The average for pretty, daintily finished linen ones will be in the neighborhood of twenty cento; good designs may be had for fifteen cents, showing printed borders, and a quarter will buy a good grade of. linen with some embroidery. Narrow Dainty Baby Bonnet hemstitched edges or small embroi­ dered scallops are decorative, figuring down to form three pockets for in the designs in neckwear and other thread, scissors, etc. accessories made from handkerchiefs. One large handkerchief will make a pair of oversleeves for office wear. Double a man’s handkerchief twice and cut the sleeves by tho lower part of a coat sleeve pattern. The cor­ ners left are to be cut off and sewed to the oversleeves to form the cuffs. One large handkerchief will make two hair receivers. Cut the handker­ chief Into two equal pieces. Fold down the hem corner of one of the strips and sew the hemmed nnd raw pdges together (turning in the raw edge). This forms tho front of tho bag. Fold tho remaining portion up and back—this forms the bag and top. Finish with a band of wide beading across tbe top of the bag.

A turn-over collar and Jabot is shown here, made of a sheer lawn handkerchief edged with a narrow Cluny insertion and a Vai lace edging. It Is very simply constructed. Cut off from one aide of a lace-edged handkerchief a strip three inches wide and divide this strip into two equal parts. Make a straight band of mull three Inches wide and of tbe required length and hem it all round with" a quarter-inch hem. Bow to one edge of this strip the two short lace-edged strips cut from the handkerchief, turn­ ing the corners to the middle of the strip. Allow the lace edges to over­ lap at this point. Turn In all raw edges and hem down. Lay the re­ mainder of the handkerchief in small side plaits, forming a Jabot, and sew to the lower edge of the neck band at the center. A Simple Apron. To make a plain turn-over collar and cuffs select a sheer, gainty hand- handkerchiefs together with lace In­ sertion. They may be edged with lace. Handkerchief cases are made by folding three corners of a fancy hand kerchief to the center and tacking them toget!- er. Sew a small pearl but­ ton here. Place a little loop covered with a bow of baby ribbon on the oth­ er corner. Laundry bags are pretty made of two handkerchiefs cat-stitched to- , gether on three sides. A tape casing | is sewed inside tbe top and baby rib-. bon run in this closes the bag and serves to hang it also. Many pretty caps are made from handkerchiefs. Dusting caps are made by sewing a tape casing to large printed cotton handkerchiefs (men’s) and running In an elastic. Tbe cor ners are turned up and racked to place. Breakfast caps are lace trimmed and decorated with ribbon bows. The pretty little gifts will cost, all told, from fifteen to fifty cents each— some less and others a little more. A .Pretty Bib. kerchief with narrow hemstitched hem and a little embroidery. Use a threeinch strip from one side, sewed to a straight band of mull, for the collar. Two remaining edges will make the cuffs. They should be cut a half-inch wider than the collar to allow for turning' over the sleeve. Finish the raw end of each cuff with a narrow hand-sewed hem. For a Jabot, select a lace-edged or embroidered handkerchief In sheer lawn of linen or cotton. Cut tbe hand­ kerchief In two pieces on a diagonal line extending from a point three inches in from one corner, to a point three inches in from the opposite cor­ ner.

In answer to her Impatient sum- i mons, she was quickly connected with j Brown & Co.'s book store. "Have you1 i>ent out those books that were order ed for Mr William Dunning?" she ask­ ed anxiously. Tbe answer evidently pleased her, for she breathed a sigh of relief "That's all right; I'm glad you haven't, for I have changed my mind about them.

But when she went back to her par cels and picked up tbe little twig ol holly she had Intended tucking away Into one of them, her face softened. “1 know that Isn't the’right kind of s Christmas spirit to have, but I can’t have Billy thinking that I am admit­ ting 1 was wrong, when I know 1 wasn't" she argued with herself.

Andrew HUiington, with 1 ill ■ a neal Mtt,e Pncka8e in I IB breast pocket and B 1 throbbing heart beneath I I" the same pocket, had been * f W — trying for a full hour to muster up enough courage to take out the package, and offer it, together with yfwRh hls throbbing heart, to Amabel Tuttle. Amabel was just such a young woman as just such a young man as Andrew would ardently desire to present with his throbbing heart and the contents of tbe neat package. The latter contained a ring, set with a single* diamond. Tbe throbbing heart contained what Andrew was ready to promise should be life-long devotion to Amabel. Why go into detail regarding the whole year during which he had laid siege to the heart of Amabel? There had been moments this Christmas eve when Andrew’s Angers nervously sought hls breast pocket Amabel knew he was on tbe verge of proposing. Gracious mercy! The woman who cannot diagnose a threat­ ened proposal is no woman at all. The stammering speech, the flushed brow, the hesitant remarks, tho fixity of stare—all these and many other symptoms are to the average woman what temperature and respiration, are to the specialist In fevers. For some unexplained reason women like to postpone a proposal. They prolong the agony. They enjoy the sighs, the awkwardness, the anxiety, of the swain. They revel in his ab­ ject willingness to sacrlflce himself, if need be, to gain their promise. It may be that Instinct teaches them this is the only moment when the man will be a slave. At last, however, it became time for Andrew to say good-night. It was Christmas eve. and he knew Amabel’s family would have some ilttle prepara­ tions to make for the festivities or the morrow. He did not think for a meat of the tremendous fact that when a young woman allows a young mao to spend Christmas eve with her she is writing "tes” in large letters on the wflir No man can realize any­ thing at such times. Andrew said he must be going, after Amabel had began to wonder if- he was going to talk about the weather and the latest book all evening. "Must you go, really?” she asked, brightly. "Wait just a moment I have something for you.” She went into another room, then Came back with a small package, which she banded to him. “Just a little Christmas remem brance," she smiled. "You won’t Llttle Christmas brance.” Remem­ mind getting it ahead of time, will you? Such good friends as you and I needn’t wait for Christmas day it­ self. need we?" Bhe carefully stood immediately be­ neath a spray of mistletoe when she said this, but Andrew did not notice it. This is further proof that love is blind. "Thank you,” Andrew mumbled, nervously. "I—I—I wish you a merry Christmas, Am-amabel.” "That’s nice ot you, and I hope you like the little gift It really isn’t a gift, Andrew. It’s just a necktie 1 made for you myself. I wish It could have been something nicer—but you’ll let the sentiment that goes with, it count for what it lacks in value or beauty, won’t you?" She carelessly reached up and ad­ justed the spray of mistletoe, smiling also at Andrew. Andrew stood there, turning tbe package over and over !r hls haads. blind as ever. What An abel thought we never will know. There must be times while a woman is landing a man that she is so en­ raged with bis obtuseness that she would keenly enjoy thumping him on tbe head whb s shovel. - Andrew got his eyes away from hers long enough to ask: "Are you goiug to have a Christmas tree?" “No. We’re old-fashioned, you know. We're just going to hang up our stockings in front ot the grate, and let Santa come right down the chimney. I love those old customs, don’t you?" As she spoke of the old she once more pushed the spray of mistletoe up Into place. This time Andrew saw it, and away down deep in his heart be wished be were just a good friend of Amabel’s. You see, under the mistletoe, things may be done by good friends which would call out the troops if attempted by a lover who has net yet declared hls love In speech, but whose every action tells what is affecting him. He told her he had spent a pleas­ ant evening; he thanked her for the little gift; he promised to come again, and he got out and away—and then he realized that he had not given her the present he had meant to hand to her with a tew well chosen words which should cause her to fall Into his arms and promise to be hls forever. Also, he realized that he bad not even wished her a merry Christmas in the way he had planned to wish 4t Al! the way home be abused him­ self tor being such a fool. Why, any man with a spark of self-confidence, he told himself, would have told tbe girl what he had in hls heart and in hls pocket ’for her—would have made a neat but effective little speech of presentation, and would have conclud­ ed his peroration with her head against hls shoulder and her plump white band in hls. ' There came to him a flash spiratlon. Why not play Santa Claus, take the ring to Amabel's home, climb In a side window from the porch, deposit the ring and a note in her stocking? This would make her feel that he had planned it all as a real Christmas sur­ prise for ber. A Christmas gift snd a Christmas proposal all at once would certainly appeal to the roman­ tic side of any girl. So he wrote his note, wrapped it abqut the ring, replaced the ring and the note in the little box, wrapped it up, and betook himself to Amabel’s home. The porch from which he planned to effect bis suireptltious entrance was a side cne. He remembered that last summer Amabel’s father had said be must have the catch on the window repaired. He knew perfectly well Amabel's father hadn’t done so— for be knew Amabel's father was like all men. Through the side yard and over the porch rail he went The window he found unfastened. Carefully he raised it and felt his way into the room. Tv bis astonishment he a~w a ray of light beneath the door and heard voices in the adjoining room—where the stockings were to be hung. •'Well, Amabel," her father was say­ ing, "what did Romeo have to say to­ night?" The reply was a sniff from Amabel, which Andrew Interpreted as being a suggestion to her father that he mind his owrf affairs. "Did you give him the necktie?" Amabel’s mother asked. to lopk at it right thare—Iwwldea, I shouldn’t have given it to him to­ night." "No," her mother said. ‘That made it look us though you expected some­ thing from him.” Andrew was standing in the darknew, in the middle of the room. He wished the family would quit talking —especially as they were talking of him—and go to bed and allow him to drop bls gift into Amabel's stocking. He did not dare to move, for fear of running into some furniture. He hardly dared breathe. Suddenly from down street came the clang of a gong. Also the clatter of horses* hoofs on the frozen high­ way and the rumble of wheels. The noise Increased as the horses drew near, to subside and cease in front at the house. The Tuttles beard iL"Must be a Are, or the patrol wag­ on," Mr. Tuttle exclaimed, throwing open the room where Andrew stood. Andrew darted behind a bookcase just in timel Mr. Tuttle went through the room to the ball and opened the front door. Mrs. Tuttle followed him, de­ spite AmabeFs remonstrances that she wpuld catch cold. There was the sound of hurried foosteps up the walk. "What’s the matter?" Mr, Tuttle asked. “Where Is he?" said a voice. "Where’s who?" “Patrolman Jones telephoned that be saw a man breaking into your house.” ___ -____________________ This Andrew shivered with alarm. was a predicament. To be arrested as a burglar, to be carted off to jail, without a chance to explain. He peered from behind the bookcase and raw Amabel dreamily hanging her stocking. He swiftly came from hls hiding place, and silently hurried to ber side. Taking the package from, his pocket, he whispered: "Amabel! I—I forgot to tell you I love you, end here’s ray proposal, and tbe engagement ring, too!” The mere fact that he had appeared thus mysteriously at her side did not appeal to Amabel. She did not think of that at all. She said: "Oh, Andrew!” . And she then allowed herself to fall into his arms. That there was much exfiited con­ versation in the hall, that men were running around the house and peering into dark corners in the basement and In the upper rooms was something of which Andrew and Amabel were en­ tirely unaware. Mr. and Mrs. Tuttle came back, after the officers had gone away utterly bewildered. Even they had been so excited that the presence of Andrew struck them as nothing un­ usual. Amabel's shy but delighted an­ nouncement of her engagement was r©. ceived merrily, however. In fact, father and mother Tuttle and tbs young people got so deep in their plans for the future that they almost forgot the incident until suddenly Mr. Tuttle said: "I wonder who the dickens that burglar was, anyhow?" "I—I’ll bet It was me!” Andrew stammered. ‘•Well, I must fix that window tomor­ row,” Mr. Tuttle decided. "Humph!” said Mrs. Henry Peck, “this paper has a lot of alleged jokes about women giving their husbands cigars for Christmas presents. I think that any woman who is fool enough to give her husband a box of the vile things ought to—Why, where has Henry gone?" But Henry was out in the hall shak­ ing hands with himself. Quieting Her Suspicions. "My dear,” said the Suspicious Wife, •‘this sealskin sack you gate me for Christmas has the odor of gasoline.” "Very likely,” answered the Crafty Husband. "But you know Santa Clans Is using an automobile now.” Nevertheless, she had her doubts about it, fearing that he had pur­ chased the garment second-handed ot a cleaner.

At home there would be large helpings of mashed - potatoes and turnips and gravy. The cranberry sauce would be served in big dishes. As they drove home together, Mrs. Phelps said: "You were a success. my dear, if you will let me, Hl bring you out. Perhaps you will make- a grand marriage. It would be a great thing tor a girl like you.” Molly's response was not enthusias­ tic. She did not like to appear un­ grateful, but she bad had a most un­ happy time. She had been a stranger in a strange land. When she bad changed her dress Mrs. Phelps sent her home in her car. Terry met her at the door. Back of him was the red light or the din­ ing-room lamp. Babe and Billy fell on her neck and welcomed her, nnd fa­ ther and mother smiled tn the back­ ground. Molly had gifts for all of them. The lilies went on the center of the table, and she had tied up candies and al­ mends In the corner of her handker­ chief. “I had an awful time hiding them,” she confessed, "but I knew how you'd like them.” She had a red rose for Tarry.

DURsnraus SPLENDOR OF CEREMONY NEVER BEFORE EQUALED IN HISTORY OF INDIA. GREAT DISPLAY OF JEWELS King Georgs and Queen Mary, Seated on Throne of Hindustan, Wltneaa a Wonderful Pageant—Troops Are Ravlawtd. Dlht, India, Dec. 12.—Amid scenes of splendor never before equalled even in India, the country of marvel­ ous pageants, nor in any other land In modern times, George and Mary, king and queen of Great Britain, were recognized.today as emperor and em­ press of India. Up to their thrones marched tbe proudest chiefs of Hin­ dustan and there did homage. The ceremony was without precedent, for never before has a British emperor of India come to Delhi, the ancient seat of the kings of India, to assume his title. The Durbar, for which elab orate preparations had been un­ der way for months, took place In a great camp to the north of the city, some five miles square. Tbe tempo­ rary population of this camp is about a quarter of a million, and’It is fur­ nished with all the conveniences of modern life, Including 31 post offices, ten telegraph offices and even elec­ tric light, railways, motor cars and taxi-cabs. Display of Jewels la Wonderful. The Durbar proper took place in an immense semi-circular amphithe­ ater on the historic ridge where a few Englishmen once made a heroic stand against the revolting natives. In the center of the semi-circle was a throne of gold and silver surmount­ ed by a copper dome. Taking his seat on this, George received the hom­ age of the rulers of the "dim mil­ lions'* of his subjects, about 150 rul­ ing princes of Hindustan. Queen Wears the Kohlnoor. The king was crowned king-emper­ or at Westminster, so he took bis throne already wearing a crown that bad been made especially for this oc­ casion, garbed in the royal robes of state, wearing the state jewels and carrying the scepter. By hls side sat Queen Mary, on her brow ttio crown that was made for her coronation and in the front of which blazed the great Kohlnoor, the Indian diamond sup­ posed to bring good fortune it worn by a woman. Close beside tho Imperial thrones when the twenty-four state trumpet­ ers with their silver trumpets herald­ ed the Durbar were, of course. Lord Hardlnge, viceroy of India, and Lady Hardings. Most spectacular was tho grand re­ view of troops, about 90,000 In num­ ber. Most of these were native troops, and they were garbed In the most gorgeous uniforms in the world. The Baptist ladies will hold a Christmas sale In the Ehret building, opposite the postoffice. Friday after­ noon and Saturday. Those having things made for the sale should bring them in.

He had retired in bls usual good health, but Mrs. Seaman was awakened by hls heavy breathing and at once tele­ phoned for a physician. When she returned to his bedside Mr. Seaman had passed away, the cause of his death being" heart failure. He was elected a member of the city council four years ago, end at the time of his death was president of that body. He took great inter­ est ih public affairs and was a faith­ ful and conscientious servant of the people. Hls loss will be keenly felt throughout the community.— Shiloh (Ohio) Review.

Men with spec­ ulative tendencies frequently travel all over the world looking for four leaved clovers, when if they would perfect their own visions, they would find what they are looking for grow­ ing in their own bailiwick. "George W.- Perkins, when he was here a few weeks ago as the guest of the Detroit Board of Commerce, told me that a great many men in New York thought that Michigan, 100 miles from Detroit, was wild, waste land, sparsely Inhabited and Incapa­ ble even of supporting an agricutural community. The ignorance of cult­ ured people In some respects Is start­ ling and wonderful to comprehend. ■The prosperity of the "New South,” as it Is called nowadays. Is due not alone to tbe thrift and enterprise of the citixens the southern section of .this country,In but largely to the fact .that scientific methods of agriculture are being introduced into every south­ state. Quite recently the city of Jern Charleston. C. C., sent men out to in­ struct the farmers of the four coun­ ,ties adjacent to that city. They are draining lands for agricultural pur­ 'poses that have never been used be­ :fore and are doing It most success­ ' fully. "Michigan Is suffering seriously from a lack of interest in agricul­ jture. A widespread and uncompli­ .mentary view of farming has brought .agriculture in Michigan to a discour­ aging state. The Social condition of Jthe farmer and hls family must bi* given attention at the same time that ' plant growth,soil chemistry and stock *feeding is studied. The Isolation of jthe farm is a big factor in making it unpopular w.lth the masses. The rural statesman of the future will give some thought toward creating a wider social Intercourse amotfg farm dwellers. The township-unit school Is doing much toward breaking .down narrow neighborhood lines. The rur­ al telephone enlarges the farmer’s sphere of ready intercourse, but still the factor of distance remains. A development and betterment of soc­ ial conditions must result in direct proportion as the population is in­ creased. Picture every farm in Mich­ igan tenanted by a prosperous.farmer and hls family. Would not all the present fancied isolation disappear? Michigan would become a land of estates, each profitable to Its owner, affording all the convenience and soc­ ial intercourse of the large communi­ ty without the confining disadvant­ ages of city life. A State Agricultur­ al Commissioner can stimulate this growth in population Other large states are doing this very thing by means of this office. Why should Michigan be tbe laggard and ignore her opportunities? Mr. Geo. O. Dean, who lives in a handsome residence at the corner of Emmett street and Clyde avenue dur­ ing the winter months, but spends the heated period of the year at Nashville, Mich., is one of the noted fisherman of the city. Oa Tuesday morning he decided to try his luck at the city dock, and in a few min­ utes after he threw out his line a fish passed by that evidently -eded a bite ot cheese, for it lost no time In grabbing the hook and hiking for deep water, but Mr. Dean went to the dock for fish and was determined to have fish, and the harder the fish pulled the tighter grip Mr. Dean took on the line, with the result that In about fifteen minutes bls fisbship was on the dock, and measured 35% inches in length and weighed 15% pounds.—Kissimmee, (Florida) Ga­ zette. DELLA ILSTUCKEY. The wedding of Mr. Delbert Dellar of Nashville, Michigan, and Miss Ida Stuckey of this city occurred at the parsonage of the First Reformed church Thursday morning at nine o'clock.

They met about a hundred yards east of the Charlotte station, and both engines were badly sihasbed. Several freight cars were also badly damaged, and the track was so torn up that It was eight o'clock before trains were mov■ Ing again. There is a sharp curve just east of the Charlotte yards, which prevented the engineer of the passenger seeing the freight until be was almost on it, too late to stop, although the fact that he was slow­ ing up for (he station made tbesmash comparatively light. Frank Cross­ man, the fat, good-natured baggage­ man who knows almost everybody along the line, was hurled forward almost the length of the baggage car and hb back and hips hurt. Clar­ ence Dibble, passenger brakeman, who has already one crippled arm. was standing in the vestibule and had two bones in hb good hand broken and the shoulder and elbow badly bruised.

ENGINES COLLIDE AT SHULTZ. The C. K. & S. railroad b still hav­ ing its troubles. Monday the passen­ ger train south was to pass the freight, which was sidetracked at Shultz. In pulling up the track the freight engine pulled too close to the switch and it was not noticed that there was no room to pass. At thb juncture and while the freight crew were busy the passenger came along at a fairly good pace. The passen­ ger crew saw the inevitable collision and Herbert Hewitt, the fireman who jumped, struck on hb head and shoulder, and was rendered uncon­ scious for a time. The crash threw tbe pasengers out of their seats and the conductor went the full length of the able at a 2:40 gait, with a fly­ ing leap for a starter. Luckily no passenger was injured, although sev­ eral women were frightened Into hysterics after the danger was over. The engines struck their cylinder heads about two-thirds on and the small passenger engine had one aide completely stripped, including cast­ ing. .rods, steam tank and couplings. The passenger engineer reversed hls engine and brought “the cripple" to a standstill. Then came the long wait and it was half past three before the forty weary and hungry passengers reach­ ed Kalamazoo, and a lunch counter. Tbe accident was a “lucky one." as accidents go, but one engine b a junk pile and tbe. other will be in the repair shop for a month or more. —Hastings Journal-Herald. «BAND CONCERT.

We have made a special effort in our jewelry department and are proud to state that we are anxious to compare quality and prices on anything in this line. Our stock of watches consists of all grades from $1.00 up, and our guar­ antee is not to be forgotten, because it means much in buying a watch or any­ thing else in jewelry.

One of the oldest buildings In Nashville is this week yielding to the march of progress and will be gladly missed. That Is what Is known as the “Old Cooper Shop," which for more than forty years has occupied the corner at Sherman and State streets. The building was erected about 1868 or 1869 by Pet­ er Little, who built it for a wagon shop, and occupied it for many years himself, building a few wagons, but principally doing repairing. Later David Stevens acquired the property and used it for a cooper shop for many years, his son, Martin L., also having an interest In It, afterward running it alone. Of late years the building has been vacant, except oc­ casionally when used for hay storage, and had become badly dilapidated, so that residents of that part of town are not sorry to see It demolished. C. H. Tuttle, the present owner of the property, has sold the building, and expects to replace It in the spring with a handsome cottage of bungalow style, which will make a marked Improvement to the locality.

After the business a social hour was spent and refresh­ ments were served. The December meeting was to have been held at the home of Andrew Lundstrom, but be­ cause of bad roads It was decided to bold It at the new home of Mr. and Mrs. John Bowman. The meeting was opened with devotions conduct­ ed by Rev. C. C. Gibson. After this the regular business was attended to. Several matters came up for consideration. Some constitutional changes were made in order to facilitate the work of the class. The basket ball committee having failed to secure a building was continued to report further at the next meet­ ing. The social committee read a journal which provoked much amuse­ ment and interest. Refreshments were served. ” The class adjourned to meet in January. A NOVEL SHOWER. About ‘ forty of the gentlemen friends of Menno Wenger assembled at Barker’s Monday evening, on the Invitation of Dr. W. A. Vance, F. K. Bullis and E. V. Smith, and indulged in one of Barker's famous chicken suppers. Name of the party who contributed the chickens not given out for publication. The supper was very much in the nature of a ban­ quet. the menu being both elaborate and plenteous. Railroad Commis­ sioner Glasgow, who stayed ovpr for the affair, acted as toastmaster, add­ ing much to the enjoyment of the occasion by his witty sallies at the expense of nearly everybody present, and during the course of the evening presented Mr. Wenger, on behalf of those assembled, with a shower for the young Wenger, recently acquirNo kid who ever struck Nashville ever fell heir to a more heterogenous mass of dolls, playthings, etc., than was sent to the late arrival, and wo hope he will live to enjoy them all. Tuesday was in sight when the party broke up, and at that most of them acted as though they wanted to stay longer. BUNDAY EXCITEMENT. John Shindorf. who lives on the __ south side, smoked some hams Sun­ day, and made such a success of it that the fire department was called out. John didn’t happen to have any regular smoke house bandy, so he smoked the bams in the barn, which has a dirt floor, where a small fire couldn't do any harm. However, John left his fuel* a. little too close to the fire, which spread to the wood­ pile and the smudge got so furious that somebody turned in an alarm and the fire department took a lit­ tle Sunday afternoon exercise. The fire was all extinguished by neigh­ bors before the department arrived, but the hams sure got a thorough smoking. ENTERTAINED AT PEDRO. Mrs. R. A. Bivens and Mrs. M. C. Francis " entertained at progressive pedrq at the home of the former, Fri­ day evening. There were six tables at play and the arrangements for progression followed the style of miytary euchre, the Detroit table winning high honors and the Grand Rapids table winding up at the foot of the class. The arrangements were perfect and the guests were loud in their praises of the evening’s entertainment and the luncheon which followed. Mrs. S. A.

Nashville Women are Finding lief at Last. It does seem that women have more than a fair share of the aches and pains that afflict humanity; they must “keep up,” must attend to duties in spite of constantly aching backs, or headaches, dizzy spells, bearing-down pains; they must stoop oyer, when to stoop means torture. They must walk and bend and work with racking pains and many aches from kidney ills. Sick kidneys cause more suffering than any other organ of the body. Keep the kidneys well and much suf­ fering is saved. Read of a remedy for kidney r only that is Indorsed by people you know. Mrs. L. Brady, Main St., Nashville, Mich., says: ’*1 have been greatly benefited by Doan's Kidney Pills, which I procured from Puraiss* Drug Store. My health was all run down and I had no strength or energy. I suffered intensely from dull backaches and my kidneys gave me a great deal of annoyance.

The students are looking forward to the Christmas vacation, which last from Friday, December 22. until January 2, 1912. Let us each strive to grasp the feeling of the season and do our best to make others happy, even if it does require some sacrifice. The following story may serve to Illustrate this . point-—Grandma Wright and her two little grandchild­ ren, Fred and Elia, lived alone in a little bungalow In the city of New York. The children had for some weeks been expressing their wishes as to what they wanted Santa Claus to bring them. Fred want­ ed a sled and Ella a doll. Grandma Wright had heard the children talk­ ing and decided to take the money she had saved up to buy her a new cloak and let the children have a Merry Christmas. Christmas eve came and the children hung up their stockings by the fireplace, not forgetting to tell their grandmother to leave the door unlocked so that Santa, if he chanced to stop, would not have to come down the chimney^ After saying their prayers they rcampered off to bed and were soon fast asleep and dreaming of the presents which Old St. Nick was going to leave them. The sun had just begun to peek over the mountain tops, and curls of white smoke could, be seen eb­ bing forth from the neighbpring chimneys as Fred and Ella hastened tn to see if Santa really did stop. Oh! Joy! they exclaimed when they saw a pretty red sled, a sleep­ ing doll, books, toys, nuts and can­ dy. These presents were not costly yet they satisfied the children’s long­ ings. Again as Mr. and Mrs. Wood­ bridge N. Ferris say In "Greetings”, “Costly presents and display do not make a Merry Christmas.

There are four strings to it. and by manipu­ lation of the keys the instrument can be made to do the work of several samisen.

Dec. 18.—"It is a mat­ ter of profound congratulation that it will now be feasible to realise with­ out further postponement the longawaited reform of the banking .and currency system.'* say* Secretary of the Treasury MacVeagh in hl* annual report. He then comments at some length on the satisfactory - and non­ partisan work of the monetary com­ mission in devising a tentative plan, and asserts that that plan has met with tbe approval, in most of its fea­ ture*. of a great part of the people. That congres will promptly adopt leg­ islation based on the commission's report is the hope and expectation of Mr. MacVeagh. The total estimates of expenditures for ordinary and extraordinary pur­ poses in 1913, exclusive of the esti­ mates for the Panama canal and those for the postal aervioe Toayable from postal revenues, are >637.920.803.35. Tbe estimates of receipts available for the general fund are >667.000,000. Tbe estimated excess of receipts for 1913 is. therefore. >29,079.196.65. Tbe esti­ mates for the Panama canal are >47.263,760.20. making the grand total of estimated expenditures payable from the genera] fund >885.181.563.55; and accordingly the estimated excess of expenditures for 1913, including the Panama canal. 1* >18.184.563.55.

Not - all her fondness for amusement could lead her to rob herself for many nights of the repose she instinctively knew was essential to tbe preservation of her charms.

It had been withdrawn swiftly in the few moments requisite to complete comprehension of the situation, and if Mrs. Delaroche had not been so car tain that she never dreamed, she might have thought she still wm sleeping. HMty exploration of the space beneath her pillow, however, told her the midnight band had not gone away empty. Realizing that, she was broad awake in an instant She sat erect so swiftly that she bruised her forehead slightly bgainst ioui»thlng cold and hard and round and smooth that wm immediately pressed menacingly to her head.

This wm a great feat of imagination for Mrs. Delaroche. ’’That's right; He still!” continued the voice. "If you know what’s good for you.” Rough though the voice wm. it wm carefully subdued.

Re­ turning to the bedside, he renewed his warning, throwing so much savage meaning into his words that Mrs. Del­ aroche wm certain there wm no pre­ tense about that Then he walked to the door giving on the corridor, turned the handle cautiously, thrust his hesd through a second .opening, and looked up and down tbe hall. Evidently reassured, be opened the door, stepped outside, and closed It swiftly and silently. There wm not. a sound to indicate dor, or still stood just outside the doot-. Mr*. Delaroche waited, listen­ ing intently In the hope of hearing his footsteps, but she listened vainly. She waited perhaps a minute, for she bad no desire to hazard a shot from that terrible thing the burgltr had pressed against her brow. Then her courage oozed back, and she bounded to the floor, screaming with all her might pausing only long enough to snatch a peignoir and throw it about her shoulders ere she pulled open the out­ er door of her euite and sent her shrieks shrilling down the long hall. Her cries, for she was a magnificently constructed animal of most expansive lung power, not only echoed far along the corridor, but penetrated even the sound-proof doors of the other apart­ ments. The disturbance she made was alarmingly novel to the exclusive calm of the Hotel Renaissance. Doors were flung open, beads popped out. ard a dozen inquiries wero flung at her from as many parts of the hall: but Mrs. Delaroche had exhausted her coherence In framing that one pur­ pose of screaming with all her might until some man of action should speed to her assistance. She did- not waste any strength In articulation. She sim­ ply screamed, and so eloquent were her shrieks that although she uttered no concrete word, only a few of thorn were needed to tell the more intelli­ gent of her auditors that she had been robbed, and that what she had lost Before the fusillade of her cries died away In a scattering fire of gasping sobs, half a dozen pajamaed specters were racing down the corri­ dor in the direction they deemed the burglar had taken. What account they would have given of themselves had they eome up with the furtive Is conjectural. They were spared the disagreeable necessity of submitting their courage flo that test, for as the burglar turned a corner of the hall many yards in advance of his pursu­ ers, he wm tripped by a foot adroitly Interpolated tn his path, and when he recovered hl* breath after a Jarring fall. It was to find two men of sturdy build sitting upon him m composedly m if nature had planned him for a conversation chair. The pistol he h*4 carried in his hands throughout the pursuit wm snatched from his grMp. and although he struggled furiously, bis arms were dragged behind bls back and handcuffs were snapped upon his wrists. Then be wm dragged to his feet by four insistent arms and impelled with much vigor along tbe ballway in the reverse direction to that which he had followed.

Ail of which the prisoner met with sullen silence and with looks that made the squad re­ treat a-pace or two In spite of tbe firmness with which his captor* held him. Mrs. Delaroche’* fading screams guided the little group to her apart ment, where the hands of ministering angel* had adjusted her peignoir to Its Formal position upon her Junoeeque form and fastened its fluttering rib­ bons in becoming bows.

A very pretty homo wedding took place at the beautiful farm home of Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Lundstrum in Vermontville, Saturday afternoon, December 16, when their oldest daughter Inez was united In mar­ riage to Mr. Albin W. Nelson of Grand Rapids. Promptly at two o’clock to the strains of the wedding march, played by Forrest Feeback, the bride and groom took their, plac­ es in the parlor in an arch of ever­ greens and ferns, under a large white wedding bell. The bride was very daintily dressed in cream white silk messaline, wore a long veil with white swansee and carried a large bouquet of cream white bride’s roses. The groom wore the conventional black. The bride was attended by Miss Albena Nelson of Grand Rap­ ids. a sister of the groom, and Miss Hilda Lundstrum,. a sister of the bride. They were prettily dressed in cream white and pink cashmere. The groom was attended by William Lundstrum, a brother of the bride, and August Nelson of Grand Rap­ ids, a brother of the groom. Little Selma Lundstrum, a sister of the bride, acted as ring bearer. Victor Lundstrum and Mrs. Charlie Jack­ son acted M master and mistress of ceremony. Rev. C. A. Edblom of Grand Rapids performed the ring ceremony. The parlor was decorated in evergreens and ferns and white wedding bells. The sitting room In evergreens, holly and red Christ­ mas bells. After the ceremony the bride and groom received congratu­ lations from the relatives and friends. A three-course luncheon was served by Mrs. E. V. Barker of NMhville. The waitresses were Mrs. Wm. Misses Kronholm, assisted by the — ------Fern Dalback, Leia Faust and Ber­ nice Schram. About ----- guests forty were present.

The show wm fully up to. the standard of other years in entries and , attendance, while the weather was as fine as could be Mked .for. In speaking of the khow one gen­ erally hears the expression "great­ est ever." In the horse department there were about 1,100 entries, most­ ly of the four draft breeds, al­ though there wm a fine display of Shetland ponies. • In the cattle department there were 1,147 individual entries. Most Interest centered In the choosing of the champion fat steer of the show. Finally the English Judge, J .J. Cardlan of England, tied the ribbon on Victor, a grade Aberdeen Angus, 2 years, 10 months and 15 days bld, Bhown by the Iowa Agricultural Col­ lege. Again an Aberdeen had car­ ried off the highest honors of the show. He was then put up auc­ tion and sold to the Fair, one of the department stores ’ down town, for 90c a pound. He weighed 1,010 pounds, bringing 11,449.00, besides |150 he had drawn in premiums. In the sheep pens there were 1,051 entries. A pen of two-yearold Oxford sheep -from Ontario, weighing over 400 hundred pounds, drew a crowd. There were nearly 1,00 entries of hogs, the Hampsbires made the larg­ est display. There were 187 of the belted fellow got out to the show. In the car lots of cattle there were 58 entries. The west Is said to be short of feed and a good many light hogs are being shipped, and a walk through the sheep house will con­ vince any one that the mothers have come to market with their lambs. In closing 1 will have to give you an item taken from the Breeders Ga­ zette: "A Michigan man bad said we are very much depressed up In Michigan about the sheep industry; Good young breeding ewes had sold as low as |1.00 per head. Joe Wing, one of the best agricultural writers and a former shepherd in Colorado, asked him why that was. He said, “You know how low mutton sold last spring, and wool has hot been a good price and there Is fear of tariff re­ vision. so we are selling out." Wing replied, “Go home and tell your friends that the best times that sheep men ever knew are approaching; the very fact that all over America other men are doing as you Michigan sheep owners are doing will make sheep scarce in the market and mut­ ton will sell very high within two or three years, maybe much sooner than that. Tell them to hold their ewes and use better rams." The evening show was very floe this year, especially tbe sheepdog , exhibition, push ball contest and ex­ pert driving of six horse teams. Sat­ urday, the iMt day of the show, the managers opened the gates free for the children of Chicago; 4,500 of them passed through and had the time of their Ilves. W. N. DeVine. AVery Wise Young Man Fred Somers and his widowed moth­ er were having a family talk In tbe library. Fred was still in college, but he was a very wise young man. He wm so wise that had attempted to dic­ tate -to his sister, Edith, as to bow her smlk.« were to be distributed. There had been rebellion ard defiance on her part and hence the family council. ■ "I wish Edith were more tractable," sighed the mother. “Can you argue with a girl who has her fists doubled up? Now let's go over the list again. There is Waters, who is a perfect ninny. There is Thompson, who hasn’t got a dollar. There Is Rush, who is a perfect sissy. There is >lvord, who sings passably well, but will never earn |25 a week. There Is Clingbam, who Is living on his poor old mother's bounty. The Whole five rolled into one wouldn’t make a man and yet she keeps them dangling around her.’’ Edith Somers had at least the five callers named at the family council. Two or three of them had escorted her to the theater. Another had tak«n her to the horse show. She had oowed to them on the avenuy or In the park and she had chattbd and imlled at home. What of it? Can’t a girl do that and much more without being in love? . In his class were three different young men Fred liked exceedingly well. He invited them by turns to run down home with him and of course Sister Edith met them. While ler the . isttfayt1 making seven "regulars” and three "substitutes." Another family council was called. "I throw up my hands!” announced Fred in tones of despair. "What’s she done now?" meaning Edith. “Got two mere! One has been in an Insane asylum, I believe, and the other will soon get there. I started to say some thing to her an hour ago, but she elevated her nose and walked ! off." The knife goes still deeper IT IS TIME TO GET BUSY Final Count Will Be Held On Friday, Dec. 22, At 4 O'clock Now listen! There is absolutely no truth in tbe statement that this is the closed season for hunting sub­ scriptions to Tbe Nashville News. The law, (made by the.News.) per­ mits live active- aggressive contest­ ants to hunt subscriptions until the close of the. contest and there is a bounty on them too. For every new subscription brought In a bounty of 600 votes in Tbe News' Popular Vot­ ing Contest Is paid. Some happy young lady is going to march away from the Nows office In Just a short time wearing the smile that won't come off, because that young lady will nave won the grand Obermeyer t Sons piano. There are only a few more days left of this contest. That moans that the race still belongs to anybody who hu Just a little Initiative. The fact of the matter is that no one yet hu such a start that it could not be eas­ ily be overcome in a few days of con­ sistent work. This is certainly the the most, glorious opportunltly that the young ladies of this community have ever had. Every contestant now thoroughly understands the rules and methods of securing sub­ scriptions and the majority of them have settled down in the earnest zeal­ ous work-that eliminates Idle dream­ ing and means working for some defi­ nite point. The aimless hap-hazard soliciting has been dropped and a systematic campaign for votes is now In progress. . You cannot tell how many votes a candidate really has by the score that was, published, for the reason that the majority of contestants are wise­ ly voting but a very small portion of their strength, thus keeping thejr real standing covered up from their opponents. But the score Indicates those who can come to the front when the proper time arrives. There is no question but what ev­ ery one in and around Nashville has been solicited, or at least has heard about this contest. The better field for operation now lies In the country, as practically ev­ eryone In the village is now a sub­ scriber to the paper- ~~ >r never will be. The contest department wants to urge on everycontestant the necessity for making the next two days count for all they are worth. The time is growing short and It is only the read hustlers who will have much of a show after this issue. That’s why it will pay to get In the game with all the energy you can com­ mand from this time until the end. And remember that the bonus on clubs of seven will remain the same until the final count on Friday, De­ cember 22. at 4 o'clock. Tbe an­ swer is plain. Get busy—and keep busy—from now on. Remember all special bonus votes count on the piano and other priz­ es Just the same. The News has arranged a big bon­ us' offer which will be good to and Including the final day, which is December 22, as follows: For every seven new subscribers we will give 10,000 extra votes, mak­ ing a total of 14,200. For every seven renewal subscrip­ "But she's got ten and more coming | every minute!” “But I don't believe Edith is in love." “Girls are deceivers, mater—sly de­ ceivers. The first ws know she’ll an nounce that she is going to marry this or that brainless ape. Here and uow I wash my bands of the whole affair. Let Edith go to her garret and ber crusts. I have said my last word." Edith Somers added two more to that famous “string,” so as to make an even dozen, but she heard nothing from Fred in regard to It. He was keeping his word. Summer opened: he came home on bls vacation and the trio went to a lake resort. At the end of a fortnight a new face appeared at the Somers' table. Fred sized up the stranger and said to himself: "Homely enough to stop a dock. No fear of Edith taking to hm.” And after several furtive glances across the table Edith said to herself: “Strong, sensible, unromantit. I might like him." After three or four days there were introductions. The stranger was George French, mining engineer. Mr. French wm invited to go out in a sail boat with the trio. Mr. Fred wm twenty-four years old and he took charge of tbe boat. There wm no great call fur wisdom in the man­ aging of a sail boat In a gusty day. All perlence. Ten minutes of exhilaration and then a gust struck her and she went over. The wise Fred was tangled up with the sail snathe two ladles were ready to go to the bottom when Mr French got clear of the rope tangled about his legs and began work. He reached'out an arm for all and gath­ ered them to the overturned boat and directed and chided and encouraged until the rescuer came. It was three months later that Fred Somers said to his Bister: “Eddie, what's become of that civil engineer?" “Out west.

Having admin­ istered the finishing touches, I took my play to a great producing mana­ ger. He had an office tn a large building on Broadway. "With my play done up in a neat package I entered the anteroom, where a young man greeted me re­ spectfully and admitted that the great manager wm not out of the city. In fact, tbe young man consented to take , my card Into his employer. I had watted only a minute ■ or two' when the young man returned and graciously conducted me to the mana­ ger, who cordially aiiook hands with me and said that be would be glad to personally read my play and con­ sider n strictly on Its merits."
