It deecrlptkra couute for anything ace can easily imagine that the quartette which serenaded the "young lady next door" last night was composed of the same young men who poured out their seething souls in melody and song under the window of the Misses Pecksniff on tbe eve of their departure from Mrs. Todgers’. Truly Dickens has written for all ages— par­ ticularly for the serenading age. Listen to these “dulcet strains breaking in upon the silent watches of the night** It was affecting, very. Nothing more dismal could have been desired by the most fastidious taste. The gentleman of a vocal turn was head mute, or chief mourner; Jinkins took the bass and tbe j-est took anything they could get. The youngest gentleman blew his melan­ choly into a flute. He didn’t blow much out of It but that was all the better. If tbe two Miss Pecksniffs and Mrs. Tod­ gers had perished by spontaneous com­ bustion, and the serenade had been in honor of their ashes, it would have been impossible to surpass tbe unutterable despair expressed in that one chorus: “Go where glory waits thee.’’ It was a requiem, a dirge, a moan, a howl, a wall, a lament; an abstract of everything thgt is sorrowful and hideous in sound. The flute of the youngest gentleman was wild and fitful. It came and went in gust?. like the wind. For a long time together he seemed to have left off. and when it was quite settled by Mrs. Tod­ gers and the young ladies, that, over­ come by his feelings, he had retired in tears, he unexpectedly turned up again at the very top of the tune, gasping for breath. He was a tremendous perform­ er. There was no knowing where to have him and exactly whqp you thought ha was doing nothing at all then he was doing the very thing that ought to as­ tonish you most There were several of these concerted pieces; perhaps two or three too many, though that as Mrs. Todgers said, was a fault on the right side. But even then, even at that solemn moment when tho thrilling sounds may be presumed to have penetrated into the very depths of his nature, if he had any depths, Jinkins couldn't leave the youngest gentleman alone. He asked him dis­ tinctly, before the second song began— as a personal favor, too, mark the vil­ lain in that—not to play. Yee. he said so; not to play. Tbe breathing of the youngest gentleman was heard through the keyhole of the door. He didn’t play. What vent was a flute for the passions swelling up within his breast? A trom­ bone would have been a world too mild. The serenade approached its close. Its crowning interest was at hand. The gentleman of a literary turn had writ­ ten a song on the departure of the ladles, and adapted it to an old tune. They all joined, except the youngest gentleman in company, who. for the reasons afore­ said, maintained a fearful silence. The song (which was of a classical nature), invoked the oracle of Apollo, and de­ manded to know what would become of Todgers' when Charity and Mercy were banished from its walls. The oracle delivered no opinion particular­ ly worth remembering, according to the not Infrequent practices of oracles from the earliest ages down to the present time. In the absence of enlightenment on that subject, the strain deserted it, and went on to show that the Miss Peck­ sniffs were nearly related to Rule Britannia, and that if Great Britain hadn’t been an island there could have been no Miss Pecksniffs. And being now on a nautical tack, it closed with this verse: Farmers’ Institute. We desire to urge every., farmer in this vicinity to attend the institute to be held at the Nashville opera house next Wednesday.

The reporter Uegan his story. He first told what his voluntary Inform­ ant bad told him. aad then of his visit to the broker. It appeared that the latter had a distinct recollection of the episode in his office, though he pro­ fessed to attach no importance to It to see no connection between it and subsequent events. To bo sure the woman had acted unaccountably strange; but weren’t women always doing something that no man would ever think of? However, the broker was willing to give the reporter every possible aid. The woman's name was Mme. Marie Raymond, and she bad. been a customer In stocks for some two years. She was a New York wom­ an. and had been remarkably lucky In all her experiments except the bubble .Nicaragua Midland. To the fact of her losses the broker wholly attributed her conduct on the occasion In ques­ tion. which had been about six weeks previous. She was not the person to bear any defeat with equanimity. "And now.” Mid John Lamm, "when does he say he was last visited by this woman?" "Not since that occasion. All her business had been done by mall, post­ marked New York." “Umha! And did he mention that he sent her to Richard Fetridge?” "No." "Well, he did, Thomas, unwittingly; and as sure as yofl are sitting In that chair you have just related to me the Initial sc^ne of the tragedy In Paul North’s house."

"And then,” said the reporter, eager­ ly. “you give up the idea that Marton Stackhouse originated the conspiracy?" "Well." returned Lamm, “I give up very little. My opinions have been enlarged and modified to suit the new facts—not changed. However. It's not theories you want now. but facts.

As the man passed out, the detective tipped Thomas a wink. "It's my little amateur detective at North’s." he murmured. Immediately a spruce and bright-eyed brunette, very tastily dressed, crossed the threshold, with a bright smile for her employer; but when she saw Thomas she hesitated and drew back. “Oh.

The detective checked him with a warning look ,and Immediately addressed the maid: "You say Mrs. Stackhouse went out last evening. Do you know why?” "Well, you may be sure I do. If not, I can guess." returned the maid. “She spent all the afternoon trying to write a letter. She must have torn up a dozen, for the waste basket was half full of scraps. And she went to tbe post of­ fice and put It in with her own hand, for Moffett saw hey." "Indeed!" said Lamm; "and we, I suppose, have no means of knowing for whom that letter was meant?"

Developed Oar Service of Chicago and Built Underground Tubes in Lon­ don—-Leaves Fortune of Several MiBlons Naw York. Dec. 30.—Charles T. Yerkes, the noted railway magnate and financier of Chicago and London, died Friday in his apartments at the Waldorf-Astoria hotel, where he had been ill for more than six weeks. Mr. Yerkes suffered from a complication of diseases, growing out of a severe cold which he contracted In London early in the falb Mr. Yerkes' vast financial interests will not be greatly disturbed by his death. He anticipated his end, and the companies in which he was inter­ ested prepared for such a contingency. Mr. Yerkes left a fortune of several million dollars. Mr. Yerkes was born in Philadel­ phia June 25, 1839. His education was acquired In the common schools and Central college of that city. His father was a successful banker and for many years president of the Kensing­ ton National bank, of Philadelphia. At the age oF 17 Mr. Yerkes entered the well-known commission house of James P. Perot & Co., and remained three years, when he embarked in the business of banking exchange on his own account In 1886 Mr. Yerkes made bls first railroad venture in Chi­ cago. He organized the North Chica­ go Street Railroad company, of which he was elected president, and acquired control of the old company operating car lines in that division. It was in 1898 that Mr. Yerkes began the forma­ tion of the Chicago Union Traction company, in which he interested a syndicate of Chicago and eastern cap­ italists. and to which he leased his interest in the North and West Chi­ cago Railroad companies. At the same time he organized the Consoli­ dated Traction company, to which he sold his outlying railway lines on ihe North and West sides. The manner in which he disposed of his Chicago holdings proved him a financier of great ability and when in 1901 he hade farewell to Chicago to go to London he took w|th him at least 315.000.­ 000 more than he had when he came here. On March 6, 1901. he sailed for England. He immediately began work on his project for an underground railway, first seeking a grant from parliament. In this fight -he was op­ posed by J’ Pierpont Morgan, who was at the head of an American syn­ dicate which also wanted an under­ ground franchise, but won out. He built the underground and was re­ warded with fame and wealth surpass­ ing that which he had attained !□ Chicago. Inheritance Tax Law Upheld. St Paul, Minn..

Scientists have been recently inter­ ested in the announcement that Prof. J. Butler Burke, of the Cavendish lab­ oratory. Cambridge. England, has succeeded in creating, by chemical reactions, certain living bodies of an extremely low form, which he calls "radlobes.” Prof. Burke, says the Technical World Magazine, treated a solution ot gelatine with bromide of radium and the radlobes resulted. A radlobe ap­ pears first as “the minutest vislbls speck,” and “it grows to two dots, then a dumb-bell-shaped appearance, later more like a frog's spawn." But is it really alive? On this point hear Prof. Burke himself: “The continuity of structure, assim­ ilation and growth, and then subdivi­ sion. together with the nucleated struc­ ture as shown in a few of the best specimens, suggest that they are en­ titled to be classed among living things, in the sense in which we use the words. "They are, obviously, altogether out­ side the toeaten track of living things. • • • Thus the gap, apparently In-1 superable, between the organic and in­ organic world seems, however roughly, to be bridged over by the presence of these radio-organic organisms.'* Cost to Extinguish Fire.

If your blood is impoverished your doctor will tell you what you need to fertilize it and give it the rich, red corpuscles that are lacking in it.

Only well ripened, mature wood that has grown during the pre­ ceding summer should be selected for tho purpose, all soft or immature parts being discarded. The cuttings themselves should be made six to ten inches long and the base of each should be cut squarely just below a bud. so the bud is retained at the low­ er end. They should be tied up in bundle* of convenient sice, say, 100 in a bundle, tbeir butt*, or basil ends, all stand level on a fl-L tabla They may then, be packed in fresh, moist saw­ dust and be kept through tbe winter in a cellar or callus pit. Upon the approach of spring, as early as the sol! can be worked and before the buds have begun to grow on them, says Prof. J. C. Whitten, of Missouri agricultural college, they should be planted out In good garden soil. Tbe rows should be about four feet apart, to admit of easy cultiva­ tion, and the cuttings should be set no air spaces about them, and set deep enough so only the uppermost buu Is above tbe ground. They should then be given clean cultivation and hoed to keep down all weeds during the summer, when usually an excel­ lent growth of plants will be secured.

SETTING CREAM, and colder water will raise the cream more quickly. In summer we set out milk in cellar near our well, changing the water at each milking Id hottest weather, but in cooler weath­ er, it may be set on the back porch or any convenient place where it may not freeze? We prefer to have our cow fresh in September, and make winter butter, and with this plan can have butter equally as good m in sum­ mer. We have two creamers for the first flush of milk, then use only one later. The milk fa strained directly into the can and set In cold water to tbe depth of milk, with enough water, io u to cool the milk. The cream la raised in 12 hour*. Care must be taken when drawing off the skim-milk, for the force is considerable of a full can. Draw off until the cream begins to show, holding the cork to lessen the rapid flowing and stop the cream. Shhke the can until the cream is all loosened ahd pour in a jar to be set in a cool place where it may keep sweet, until there is enough for a churning. We churn twice a week usually. This cool, sweet cream is delicious for coffee, cereals, fruit or ice cream. The cool, sweet milk le very nutritious a* a beverage at table, or for any cooking purposes, puddings, etc. Tbe rinsings of the can with sklm-mllk may be added to the skim­ milk for the table. The cream jar ahculd be covered with a ventilated cover and stirred whenever new cream is added. When ready to churn bring tbfe jar into a warmer room to ripen, or thicken, bringing it to a temperature of 70 de­ grees in summer and 80 degrees in winter, and allowing it to stand sev­ eral hour*. until It is thick or loppered, stirring often. Churn at about 70 de­ grees In any good churn. We use a duh churn, rinsing down with cold water, or tempered according to the season. Wash butter in two or three waters, salt, work lightly and set away, to cool and dissolve salt, for an hour or so, then work thoroughly until the milk and brine are worked out , a nd butter looks even in texture, but rot oily; good butter should break.

Kansas experiment station, where an effort has been made to trace the depth of roots. Here are at least three plants out of some six or seven studied where the root has penetrated to a depth greater than six feet. It is a general opinion among those who have studied the subject that the deep growing root has a great deal to do with the capacity of alfalfa to re­ sist drought on account of the dis­ tance that alfalfa roots are enabled to penetrate into the ground. This characteristic of the alfalfa plant is one reason, doubtless, why ft is advis­ able if not necessary for the soil to have considerable depth and not have a hard pan a short distnee below the surface. In addition to the depth to which al­ falfa roots may enter the soil, the il­ lustration is interesting for the fact that it shows the growth of fibrous roots at the surface. While these are lees than what one naturally expects with clover, they are characteristic with alfalfa. FORESIGHT IN FARM WORK. Planning the Work Far Ahead. The farmer that can properly plan in his farm work has the best chance of success. He can then husband not only the time of his men, but his ma­ terials. Lack of foresight is responsi­ ble for a very considerable waste of time on farms. The winter time is a good season in which to carefully go over the work of the coming sea­ sons. says the Farmers' Review. Why not? In every other business much thinking and planning before hand has to be done. The men that carry com­ mercial enterprises to successful ter­ minations have always spent weary days and weeks in doing nothing but planning — building thought upon thought. Such plans do not often the result* of hard work 'of the brain. Death of Elliott Danforth. New York, Jaa.

Primary Reform Second Article of a Series being Furnished by Sena' tor Glasgow on the New Primary Election Law. * In my previous article I endeavored to explain the unsettled condition of the public mind, and reflecting that, the mind of the members when the sub­ ject of " primary election” began to be discussed soon after the convening of the last session of the Legislature. All remembered, and especially the older members, the results of the dis­ agreement between the House and the Senate on this same (question during the previous session, the work of the conference committee, and the unforCriticisms of the press and public, who charged the Senate with killing the bill, defeating the will of the people and betraying their party. With the memory of all that had been said and done it wm freely admitted that the After considerable discussion and parliamentary warfare, the Dickinson bill, providing for the direct nomina­ tion of governor, lieutenant governor and members of the legislature came to a vote and the members were so evenly divided on the question that on roll call it passed with only three votes to spare. I mention “roll call”. for the reason that a vote in answer to a roll call is public record and may ’ confront a member in the future, which necessitates his voting as his constit uento have reason to expect, while in a yea and nay vote without a roll call no record of the individual vote is made and claimed action can be de­ nied or affirmed as best suits the cir- The vote taken wm an acknowledged victory for the Dickinson or direct cred that session and for action on nomination faction, and faces which which the public wm getting impa- plainly showed toe effect of great men­ tal strain, prolonged excitement and sleepless nighto, relaxed, and the load­ sponsibiilty of the initial move. ers In the battle wore the new expres­ sion m protffily m the soldier his ne*r bill should originate in the Ben* badge of honor.

Only two of the number end, m was plainly forseau from the equality of their numbers, the result was a reasonable compromise. On the day of final action the presentation of ibe bill |wm delightfully crowned by oratorical appeals to passion, prejudice, future emolument# or pun­ ishment, personal honor aud party loyalty, and thus it passed, not as the expression or result of any politically hatched and prearranged plan, but as the embodiment of the composite ar­ rangement entered into by a hundred men, equally earnest, loyal and sin­ cere, recognizing their honest differ­ ences of opinion, and arrived at a fair and honorable basis of agreement, and thus christened in the spirit of harmony was the new creation turned over to the tender care of the excited tut expectant senate committee on elections, where it wm to be allowed to rest and regain its strength while the head physician of that body ras diagnosing the ewe and deciding if further operations were necessary. Each day its godfathers from the House would anxiously inquire about the child’s health, evidently having little confidence in the skill of the political physicians of the Senate and fearing it might prove another sweet life sacrificed to science in answer to a desire to disembowel or decapitate, and I confess their feaA were not without foundation. The scene now shifts, and while many members of the Senate had watched the progress of the bill in House, but few were in close touch with the principal actors, and those few, while trying as best they could to arrange matters so as to secure prompt action by the Senate, found the election committee of that body not favorable to the selection of gov­ ernor and lieutenant governor by di­ rect vote, and a new struggle ensued, until gradually that sober and judicial body began to show signs of agitation and the differences heretofore consid­ ered of little moment and unworthy of consideration began to assume fearful proportions under the occult influences so liable to pervade legislative halls. The commiteee, with a few -self-invited advisory members to assist, began to make daily examinations of the bill, and it was decided that an operation would be necessary in order to impress the House and the voters in general with the superior wisdom of the Sen­ ate and their ability to detect unwise provisions that should be eliminated. Its friends begged to have the bill reported out and let the “fixing” be done on the floor. Some wanted to behead it and leave the selection of the governor and lieutenant governor to a convention. Here Governor War­ ner interceded and through his influtermined effort was made to except the lieutenant governor from "the list, but the friends of the bill said “No.” The bill having a provision that the selec­ tion of governor and lieutenant gov­ ernor should be determined by plural­ ity vote, a strong stand was made by the opponents of the bill to anything less than a majority, the Senate as a body believing that only a majority should nominate, but in accordance with an agreement made with the lead­ ers of the House a plurality on gov­ ernor and lieutenant governor of 40 per cent was dedded upon. Cities were added to the list to come under the provisions of the new bill. The submission of the question as to governor and lieutenant governor was made mandatory on all parties in 1906, the nomination of candidates for the other officers named in the bill to be optional with the several parties upon a petition to the proper author­ ities. After considerable argument the committee reported the bill out and the above stated changes were made on the floor of the Senate. Id the accomplishment of this work the usual strenuous conditions were present. The bill as finally passed represent­ ed ail one body of the legislature would yield or the other accept. Senate, and the prompt concurrence of the House in the amend meets made thereto. In my next article I will explain the meaning of the terms "primary,” "primary election,” and “direct nom­ inations,” and take up the main fea­ tures of the new law. M any may think this and the pre­ ceding article unnecessary to the ex­ planation of the new law, but I pre­ ferred that all parties be fully con­ versant with the conditions under which the bill was passed, in order that they might be in a better position to judge fairly whether or not the members who were willing to grant the people an opportunity to decide this question for themselves did all they could and what under the circum­ stances wm best.

Much has been said about the mail erder -business as it affects small towns and we believe that in this lo­ cality the mail order business has suffered to quite an extent, as those persons who have indulged in buying from these bouses have been * ‘stung” when their turn came, they can seldom be drawn In again. The man who buys his goods of a mail order house and expects his neighbors to buy goods of him, or buy labor of him or to buy professional services of him, is economically a leech. He is suckfng industrial blood out of the town and gives none back. He spends his profits out of town like a Chinaman. He has no more right to a standing in the community than a foreigner. We are ail neighbors, industrially, in this town, and the man who sends away for his goods is not one of us. He is of another industrial system and deserves no man's support in Nashville. The fact that this is econ­ omically wrong is recognized by all mailorder houses themselves. They protect their customers by offering to keep people from knowing where the goods come from, as the mall order bouses have no ‘tags* on their goods. They say in their catalogues that no one knows where’ they were bought. If it is proper to hide the place of pur­ chase of an article, it is wrong to buy the article at that place. Only a man who steals is a man who is ashamed to say where he got anything be has. There is such a thing as tainted dry goods tainted groceries aud tainted furniture. All of such articles as are not bought at home, of men who befriended you, of men to whom you owe your living are tainted because they comeunfairly. The trou­ ble with most small towns, and it is partially true of Nashville, is this: So many dealers buy their goods away from home that a systematic jealousy has sprung up. One dealer don’t feel that he has to buy the goods he does not handle at home because a dealer in another line does not buy of him, and so on down through the line. There is a jealousy between two deal­ ers in the same lines that borders close onto hatred. This is heartening, distressing and paralyzing to the busi­ ness interests of the town. It is time to change and get together. It is time to begin to reform ourselves and not our neighbors by buying everything at home, whether the neighbors do or not. And now is the lime to begin. “The thing to do is for all of us to turn over a new leaf.’’ Harriet Howard, ofSW W. 84th St., few York, at one time had her beauty polled with skin trouble.

"She has spoiled everything for ua." "YR and for them, too," said the parlor maid. “For Mr. Fetrldge did not stay five minutes after sbe came." “Did you see him when he went? How did he act?" Lamm hastened to ask. "Just as usual; only a bit excited. I’m sure of one thing, air. Whatever she whispered to him. It didn't set bim against her, for if he didn’t squeese her hand and look Into her eyes the way he had no business to when he left her —then I'm no judge of such things." The rest of that which the parlor maid had to tell was merely accumulative and corroboratory of what she had already told. Mr. Lamm satisfied himself of this fact by a cross-examination, inter­ sperse* with sly compliments, and sent the wide-awake Mollie White away at last, well pleased with herself, to re­ sume, with increased vigilance, ber watch of Marion Stackhouse. “And now," aald the detective, has­ tily, turning to Thomas, as soon as they were alone, "It remains for us to find out what Mrs. Marion has written, and meant to write, to her busband. 1 must any it is a very unpromising task, but it is so important that it must be attempted.” "Very well." said Thomas, "If you’ll attend to the letters which she de­ stroyed, I’ll turn my attention to the one ahe mailed. It is but 11 o'clock, and I doubt whether Stackhouse has re­ ceived it yet.” "You had better be in a hurry, then." *T am going," aald Thomas. CHAPTER XXI. DRAWING THE NET. And now Reporter Thomas was max­ ing a determined though apparently hopeless effort to obtain possession of the letter which Marlon Stackhouse had written to her husband. Not only hopeleas the quest seemed, but dangerous. In the ordinary routine of his duties he wouW unhesitatingly have rejected an enterprise of so obnox'ous and disagree­ able a nature. But the case was becom­ ing desperate and it was no longer a business, no longer even a personal In­ terest. The mournful pleading of the big blue eyes of Stella North nerved him for the ignoble task. The remembrance of some tears which he had seen that morning trembling on the long lashes stimulated him to unprecedented effort. He was in that mood where to obtain success he would stop at nothing short of crime. He hardly knew himself in this new role; but he played tbe spy and the sneak that day as he never played it before or since. It was easy enough to assure himself •f the existence of the letter. Fifteen minutes after bolding confer­ ence with Detective Lamm at the latter's office, Kingman Thomas was walking boldly to the desk at the Adams house. "Good morning," said the clerk, for it was not yet noon of this eventful Saturday. "Good morning.” said Thomas. “Can you tell me whether Mr. Stackhouse is in the hotel?” "Not in his room," returned the clerk, with a queer smile. "His key is here.” "Curious!" said Thomas, with an as­ sumption of troubled reflection, "i wonder if he’s got my letter. 1 wrote him a letter last night and posted it at Swampscott,” be continued by way of explanation. "Can you tell me whether be has It yet?" The clerk took a look in the pigeon hole marked "S" and Thomas caught a momentary glimpse of a square, white envelope in his hand. But the cletk cast it back immediately and turned to the reporter. "’rfiere is a letter for him here with the Swampscott postmark,” he said. "It may be yours.” "A square, cream white envelope?” queried Thomas, "that looks like a piece of woman s stationery?" "Ah, that’s the one! He hasn't got it Thank you." "Are you going to wall and see him?" the clerk Inquired, with another smile. "Why?” asked Thomas, scenting something unusual . "Only there are a dozen or so ahead of you; that’s all T thought I’d let you know." 'Indeed! And where are they all?" "Ob, waiting about here." "Business men?" "Well, they have that look. Since the fallture Mr. Stackhouse seems to have been considerably in demand." "Oh, I see." , "Consequently, if it’s anything impor­ tant you’d do well to hunt nim up, as this letter is likely to be here some time." Thomas thanked his Informant As he turned away from the desk a daring subterfuge by which he might obtain possession of the letter came into Lis mind, bat ho dismissed it with impa­ tient horror. 'What am I thinking of?" he ex rtetmed. mentally. Forgery! Tampertag with the mall! I must —arts my impetuosity with a little reaaoa.*’ junior partner was avoiding them. He was aotv.then to be found at the offios of North A Stackhouse? Evidently not, or these men would not coms hare to watt for him. Nevertheless if bls wife had sent the letter thither, it must be because he had directed her to do so. If hr deemed it a matter of so much Im­ portance, as John Lamm imagined, would he not find some way of obtaining his mall without calling? It was at the precise moment when this thought was taking form In the re­ porter’s mind that bo observed a dis­ trict messenger boy leaving the office. The boy was just put^g his hat upon ’ his head, and TbomascMght a flee Ung glimpse of a square, white envelope. In an instant he comprehended what must have taken place since he had left the desk. Thornton Stackhouse had sent a requisition to the clerk for his mall. A word at the desk confirmed the reporter’s suspicions, and In another minute he was upon the heels of the messenger. His task at present seemed simplicity Itself. To follow this messen­ ger boy till he was finally led Into the presence of the man whose commission he executed was a task that certainly called for none of the higher expedients of Mr. Thomas’ genius. Tbe boy took a course southward and continued straight up Washington street until he reached Union Park street, when be turned short to the nght. and a few minuesafterward entered the doo? of a drinking saloon in Shawmut avenue. Thomas had no special associations with the place, though he knew of it In a gen­ eral way. Taking the precaution not to enter It Immediately and thus give anybody who might be on the watch an idea that there was anything other than a coincidence In bls arrival on the heels of the messenger boy, Thomas loitered into the place and passed directly Into the bar, where he called for a drink. There were two or three men standing at the bar. but at the moment of his en­ trance nothing was to be seen either ol the messenger or of Thornton Stack­ house. A number of booths ranged along the side of tbe room opposite the bar. however, attracted his attention, and, in accordance with bis surmises, Mr. Thomas was pleased very shortly to see the messenger emerge from one of these places. The boy had scarcely passed out when the reporter, swallowing at a gulp the beverage which he had ordered, placed the payment therefor upon the counter, and lounged down past the compartment from which the boy had is­ sued. His expectations were entirely cor­ rect There sat Thornton Stackhouse reading—devouring would be a more ac­ curate word—the letter which bad been posted at Swampscott the night before. Fearful of attracting attention, Thomas increased his pace, but precautions were needless. The man was absorbed, com­ pletely oblivious to all his surroundings. Even in the momentary glimpse he bad ot him the reporter was startled into the belief that the contents of the letter had utterly overwhelmed and dazed the man who had received it. The paper was crumpled fiercely between hia hands, and he was glaring at it with scarcely the look of sanity in his eyes. Thomas slipped hastily into the next booth. The brief vision which had just been granted h'.m was certainly not cal­ culated to lessen his idea of the im­ portance of the document of which be was in quest, or to shake his determina­ tion to become possessed of IL But how? , This was a problem which might well puxxle Mr. Thomas. Tha greater the importance of the letter the more care­ fully would its possessor guard it. If he destroyed it, there was little hope that so shrewd a man as Stackhouse would be satisfied with leaving it in a condition which would not preclude, its restoration. If he carried it away with him, under what possible pretense could the reporter get it? He certainly could not ask him for It; he was scarcely pre­ pared even in his present fever of eager­ ness to resort to violence. Were he so inclined, how could he even hope for the opportunity of stealing it? Neverthe­ less. Thomas compressed his lips and waited patiently the unpredictable course of events. He had not long to wait for a change In the situation. He heard Stackhouse crushing the paper and murmuring undlstlngulshable words below his breath. Then again, he fancied, from the sounds, that the man had risen to his feet and was leaving the booth. A causious recon­ noitering assured the reporter that he was correct in this surmise. Stackhouse had passed to Lie bar. and he heard him in no very steady voice asking for bran­ dy. Where was the letter? Actuated by an absurd hope, the reporter slipped into the booth which' Stackhouse had just w cated. A minute's search assured him that Stackhouse had not committed the unpardonable indiscretion of leaving even the remnants of the document upon the floor. Undoubtedly he had not torn it up, but had replaced it bodily in his pocket. After drinking the brandy. Stack house went out, and the reporter followed him from the saloon. Thomas was not, how­ ever, eo absorbed in the actions of his intended victim that he was oblivious to other things. It was quite obvious to him that two of the men who had been lounging at the bar suddenly became alert and lost al) interest in the place as soon as Stackhouse had left IL Bo eager were they to gat into the street that they jostled Mr. Thomas on their way. They wore ordinary-looking men. Nothing about them was calculated to linger in the memory or to attract a Me­ an* glance. One of them sauntered over to the other side of the sUwet The other kept atoag jnst ia front M Thomas. The reporter frowned. Them detafte were ao enigma to him. He recognised at once the precautionary measures ot the police departmenL These, then, were Thomas Stackhouse’s constant CMBpaatoas. and the rwor&r roaUsed Bill be went on. The detectives fol­ lowed BtackbcuM. Thomas followed the detectives. Did Eteckbouro know of his double espionage? The* were no evidences that he did or that be carod one way or the other. He went forward at a good pace, his eyes always down­ ward or straight ahead. What a walk be was leading them! Apparently be had forgotten that there were any means of conveyance about the city. Ignoring alike horse cars and cabs, Thornton Stackhouse went from the barroom In Shawmut avenue to the Chelsea ferry, at the foot of Hanover street. The four men. who were not all conscious of their association of interest, passed upon the ferry-boat together. ’After the boat was out in the stream, for the flrat time Stackhouse's conduct became suspicious. He glanced about him, and wandered from point to point, apparently with two objects in view. He seemed to be trying to get as far as pos­ sible from other people, and aa near as possible to the rail. A dark suspicion entered the report­ er’s mind. Was Thornton Stackhouse contemplating suicide? Whether or not, it was not at all necessary for him to Interfe-e. Circumstances happily en­ abled him to watch the proceedings from a safe distance, for the two detectives, doubtless imbued with the same sus­ picion which had occurred to Thomas, kept close upon the heels of the unfor­ tunate man. Evidently they had no In­ tention of permitting, their prey to es­ cape them, even through tbe medium of violent death. Justice Inexorably en­ deavors to close even this door of refuge to the victims whoen she proposes to sacrifice. Stackhouse once lost his temper. He turned hotly upcm one of his tormentors. “Come, sir!” he said, In a voiceot sup­ pressed passion. “End this farce, if my safety is so important to you, arrest me and have done with it!" The man regarded him with a cold stare. "Excuse me, sir," he said, gruffly. “1 don’t know you.” The officer shrugged his shoulders, and turned Indifferently to a view of the landscape. Stackhouse bit his lip; his anger vanished; he became moody. His eyes were cast down, and he do longer looke* about him. When the ferryboat reached the other side, the ruined banker disembarked, and for a time wandered aimlessly about the water front His hands were clasped behind him and his head hung down. He walked like an old man. With tbe same outward bearing be took a ferry-boat back to the city, and set out once more upon one of his inter­ minable walks. There was a new feature added to his conduct At nearly every drinking saloon he stopped and ordered liquor. His walk became unsteady, but he went on like a man who bad a definite end in view. The frequent visits to the saloons puzzled Thomas at first Sud­ denly he had an Inspiration. "The letter from bls wife was a terri­ ble blow to him. He seeks oblivion. This is his second effort to obtain IL The first was death, and it was denied him. The second, though temporary. Is quite as effective, and will be secured when he has imbibed a sufficient quan­ tity of alcohol!” Thomas began to have a vague hope. His suspicions became certainty very soon. Thornton Stackhouse entered at last a third-class hotel at the North End. and paid for a room. The call boy came down after a few minutes for a bottle of brandy, and Stackhouse locked himself in the room with it Even the experienced Thomas shud­ dered. That a man who had occupied the position in the world of the late junior partner of North & Stackhouse should be reduced to an extremity of this kind, filled bim with a feeling akin to pity. But nothing shook his resolution. Whether it tended to save thiainlserable exile from respectability or to give him the final kick which should destroy his last hold of the bushes on the brink of the precipice, the bit of evidence now in Stackhouse’s possession must be se­ cured. A private word or two In the ear of tbe proprietor secured the reporter a room on the second floor, immediately adjoin­ ing that occupied by the man in whom all his interest centered. There was a communicating door, but it was locked jectwring, planning, for quite two boars. He began a great clamor upon tbe Thomas left hla room, and sought out the proprietor. of the Glops? Ah! Well, 1 want to save believe that that man in tbe room next to mine has made away with himself.” "No!” exclaimed the proprietor, aghast "Quito so. sir. I have suspected him for some time. I can account for the sounds I have heard in no other man­ ner. They suddenly ceased, and for some lime I have been making noise enough to raise the dead. He doesn't respond.” Within four minutes the door of Mr. Stockhouse's room-was forced, and half a dozen men rushed into the chamber. Stockhouse lay upon the bed. motion­ less. His coat and vest were thrown carelessly over the chair. "He is drunk!” cried one of the detec­ tives. "He is dying," said Thomas. “Where are his papers? We must have his name." With admirable coolness before them all, Thomas took a pocket-book from the coat which lay upon the chair, and was proceeding to investigate its contents. An authoritative hand was suddenly laid upon his shoulder, and one of the detectives whispered in his ear: "Are you craxy, Thomas? What is the matter with you? You know well enough who the man is. None of your tricks, please. Put back that pocketbook." The reporter had a faint flush in his cheeks, but he yielded without protest. The square white envelope was already in his possession. An hour later he read the letter. Its contents filled him with astonishment and excitement. It was certainty not what he expected, but It seemed to him pregnantwlth possibilities. He hastened to find John Lamm; but the office of the detective was closed, and he was unable to locate bim. "It’s fate!" cried Thomas. ”1 shall act alone, and, fortune helping me. 1 shall save Stella North and her sister Marion!” And that Saturday evening he took tke train for SwampscotL CHAPTER XXII.

His lips twitched strangely; the lines of his anxious fact were more deeply drawn; an un­ healthy blot bed redness had taken the place of once healthy color, and there was an incessant trembling of the hands, unusual and ominous. Mr. Lamm, with a good deal of con­ cern expressed in his look, sprang up to greet him, and assisted the man to a chair. "Why, Mr. Stackhouse." he ex­ claimed. "you are not well. Why did you eome down town this morning? You should have sent for me. You are in no condition to be out in the street on such a wans day. Let me call a carriage.

She looked up wonderingly, and met the eyes of a Viking, who smiled upon her pityingly. •'Who are you?" Youth asked, draw­ ing confidingly nearer him. "I am Sympathy,” he replied, press­ ing her hands protectingly and carry­ ing one, then the other to his mouth, “and I shall warm you and feed you and kiss you and carry you in my arms when you are tired—you little white soul!” And. stooping, he caught her up In bls strong arms and kissed her madly. For a space sbe lay still within his arms, her pulses quickening in the consciousness of warmth and return­ ing strength. Then, with a sudden sense of combativeneas, she struggle.! up, crying out that ahe must go on alone. But Sympathy held her close —ao close that ahe felt the beating of hla heart against her own and the fierce pressure of his lips upon her hair. Youth drew a quick breath, there waa a barely perceptible shudder, then ahe lay passive In the completeness of surrender. Tn that moment neither heard the hollow chuckle of Destiny nor knew of his mocking smile. On and on Sympathy carried Youth in his tireless arms, nor stopped until he had reached the path o’ Dreams, where be put ber upon ber feet, and together they walked Into a beautiful garden. with joys too bubble-like to endure, and one day the serpent of Disillusion­ ment crept Into the garden and claimed one for his own—Sympathy. In si­ lence Sympathy rose, and without one backward look disappeared adown the path o’ Dreams, and Youth never saw him more. Hope came to Youth, but In a little while sickened and died. Despair, grim and appalling, succeeded Hope and made of Youth a slave to his ca­ prices. Then came Pride, and after Pride. Necessity. commanding Youth to go back ovfer tbe road sbe bad come. In vain she protested, and even after she had entered the path that led back to Love she would have turned and fled had not Necessity, like an aveng ing Demon stalked by her side, stoop­ ing at times to whisper: “Make haste! Leet mud and stones zbt thrown upon thee. ’ . : At tbe words a certain horrible fear froze Youth's blood. >he passed her hand across her eyes, palm outward, as one does who has received an un­ expected blow. One moment she swayed. Her hair became loosened by its own weight and fell about her. Then sbe lifted ber head. Softly the night fell, and softly tbe moon rose above the brow of the hill. Youth saw her way clearly defined to the mellow radiance. There were the same pitfalls, the same rocks and briars, and albeit Youth was weak to limb, she did not stumble, neither did abe cry out the bitterness to her poor heart, for Necessity towered at her side and anon stepped to whisper to wood flooring, ftae framing Um.

In fact it will be the greatest opportunity the ladies of this vicinity have ever had to buy goods at these prices. Millinery goods of all kinds. Trimmed bats at just one-half former price. Untrimmed hats go at the same reduction.

Such an experi­ ment is that in which the farmer, to test his land or a manure, puts the ferUlixar on a field but has no check plot with “no treatment."

Margaret Fuller formed many Impaaxiuned connections with women during her life. They were attracted by her powers of Intellect and har­ mony. There are three noted instances of platonic attachments—Petrarch and Laura, and Dante and Beatrice, and Joanna Baillie and Sir Walter Scott. Mme. Roland and her husband were alike and inseparable. John Stuart Mill and his wife were companions, as were also Elizabeth and Robert Brown­ ing. These relations can be easily explained. The fever of time pro­ duces lassitude, dispels Illusions, and undermines passions. Then the love of these strong souls turns' into that crowning lasting union—friendship. There was a great friendship be­ tween Goethe and his sister Cornelia. She was a year younger than he. and. while not at all good looking, had superior endowments of mind arid character. The attachment between Byron and his sister, Mrs Leigh, was most touching. She remained unalter­ ably attached to him during the dread­ ful storm of unpopularity which drove him out of England. Four of his best poems were composed for and ad­ dressed to her. Byron's last words were of his sister and his daughter. CHRISTMAS TREE GAMBLE. Dealers in the Holiday Bushes Never Know How They Are earn­ ing Out. "The Christmas tree business is a gamble." says one of tbe few New York shippers who never comes out on the losing side,* says Country Life in America, because he knows how to cut his trees and bow to sell them, be­ cause he knows there is always a sale for the best “No two years alike No one knows how many shippers will be In the market. No one knows bow many trees the others will bring nor how many he himself will bring, for that matter, with weather and rail­ roads to reckon with at the last min ute. The trees may cost $65, they may cost $150, a carload, which meant from two to five cents apiece delivered on the 'farm.' The average market price is 60 cents a bundle of five trees, and men who get this make good money. No two handle the business alike. One shipper will bring ten or 20 carloads of trees cut as they run. take them or leave them. Another will bring five carloads of carefully se­ lected trees, sell them at 60 cents s bundle to two. three or five dollars apiece for large singles, and as high as $25 for the giant trees that gladden the hearts of a hundred bed-ridden babies in a hospital or a half-thousand youngsters who have gone very faiths fiflly to Sunday school for enough weeks before Christmas to Insure them a place on the church tree: and this mah will make more money wltb less risk than the man with 20 cars o! poorer stock.” WOOD IN BOWLING BALLS. Lignumvitae Not Now the Predomi­ nating Variety Used in Their Manufacture. With the great Increase io the num­ ber of women bowlers in recent years came a demand for bowling balls light­ er than those of Hgnumvltae. One of the woods used for this purpose Is called sappacue, and comes from Cub*. Rosewood Is now also occasionally used and so Is mahogany. Formerly all bowling balls were made without finger boles. Now It is common to make them with finger holes. Some bowlers prefer only two finger holes, one for the thumb and another for one finger. Other balls are made with an opening large enough to accommodate ail the fingers, such being called slot balls. . Bowling balls are sometimes cov­ ered with rubber, as are also, where such balls are used, the pins. This ar­ rangement makes the game less noisy. There is now made a solid hard rub­ ber bowling ball that is asserted to possess extraordinary merits. It is said it will outwear many wooden balls and remains alway* true In qualities for preserving articles of food I for which It is used as a ooverlng.

Primary Reform Third Article of a Series being Furnished by Sena, tor Glasgow on the New Primary Election Law. As promised in my previous article, I will attempt to explain tbe terms '‘primary,” ‘‘primary election,” and “direct nomination.” I do this be­ cause I am led to believe that many people get the meaning of the terms confused, and I desire that all may be in a position to get as dear an under­ standing of the new law as possible, and that the decision to test it, and the manner of doing so, may be an action of judgment rather than one of chance. The terms “primary” and “caucus” are synonomous, meaning tbe same thing. Webster’s International dic­ tionary says: “Primary: That which stands first in'order, rank, or import­ ance, as a primary meeting: a caucus. Caucus; a preliminary meeting of per­ sons-belonging to a party, to nomi­ nate candidates for public office, or to select delegates to a nominating con­ vection; apolitical primary meeting.” Thus the term “primary reform” candidates and delegates to conven- Tbe term “primary election” means tbe election or »•lection of the said candidates and delegates in such con. ducted primaries. * ‘ Direct nomination ’' means the cast, ing of your ballot in said primaries, candidate nf which >» tbe straw stack; all around ueoUonal or Houclal offolro, be. the outside Is sided up with toards except two openings, one of which has presslon In entirely different fsrms a door to It and one is open all the time and is four feet wide. of procedure whereby to attain the We have the permanen* opening next same end, ought not to be forced to see or act alike politically, and be who strives to so induce or coerce them attempts the Impossible,and I believelt> stepping in the way of progress towards good government.

"I have no bill to present Why, my work la not done yet When th© proper time cornea I shall not for­ get it. be sure of that.” he added, with assumed lightness of manner. Stackhouse got up rather unsteadily, but with a filled purpose in his look. “Let me go into your inner office," he asked, "and make out a check if It's only as a matter of form. Besides. I want to write a moment on another matter, ar.d I should like to be undis­ turbed by any chance caller you might Mr. Ijmra v.*ns at the door of his little “den" in a moment, opened his dtsik, and placed pen and paper at his visitor's disposal. Stackhouse sat down, and the detective went out. soft­ ly closing the door upon the client at his work. Roused from certain regretfifl mo­ mentary meditations by the entranci of his trusted worker. "Bill,” Mr. IAmm began to talk with him bi an undertone. In the very middle of their hushed conference both men started and looked wildly around. The sound of an explosion came to their ears with terrible distinctness. It was unmistakably a pistol shot. Moved by a common 'impulse, both rushed toward the Inner office. When Detective Lamm pushed open the door and went in, his subordinate was close behind. The room was full of smoke. But the cloud lifted as the current of fresher air entered, and tn an instant the two were staring Into a face—a face that did ry>t return their look of horror, the face of a dead man. Dead! Sitting up in his chair et Mr. Lamm's desk, with one hand clutching a pen, and in tbe other a revolver, from which a tiny wreath of smoke was curl­ lag. was the form of Thornton Stack­ house. So true had bee® his alm, that the transition from life to death could have taken scarcely a second of time. He had blown out bls brains. With a stifled cry Mr. Lamm's com­ panion started back. His while face met at the outer door the frightened look of another man. a conveyancer, who had an office close by. "A man has shot himself In there!" whispered Bill. The newcomer hur­ ried out of the room. Others, alarmed at the repqrt of the pistol, were hurry­ ing to the scene; and In an incredibly short rpace of time every* occupant of the building seemed to be possessed of th© startling news. John Lamm quickly regained his ac­ customed composure, and barred the outer door in advance of tbe rush of the excited throng which he knew was coming. He returned, a moment later, to the little room, paying not the slightest heed to the crush without, or to the loud and reiterated demands: “Let us In! Let us in!” In the dead man's clenched hand, which Mr. Lamm made no attempt to unclasp, was held a 32-caliber revolver. The other hand held a pen. Written on the blotter of the desk was this, the last message of Thornton Stackhouse: But I cannot live without her.” a look full of pity at the motionless fig­ ure sitting there—so near him, yet in an awful sense so far removed. The stentorian demand at the outer door had ceased when he reentered his main office, but there was a dull mur- cited sounds, when Mr. Lamm's form threshold. a waa seen on the door. having apparently been given that post of distinction by common consent of the crowd, who held back a iitUe Mr. Lamm knew his men at once. are outwitted;" They made a pretense of misunder­ standing him.

In a few moments be had recovered, but avoided, as much as be could, turning any glance toward the desk. "Do you remember what Daniel Web­ ster said once?" Fetridge spoke to Mr. Lamm under hl£ breath, but not so low that the listening ear of Inspector Ap­ plebee did not catch every word: ‘There Is no refuge for the murderer but sul‘ cide. And suicide is confession! ’ ” Hardly was the sentence uttered, when Inspector Applebee, as if aroused by some sudden thought, ordered the offi­ cers to clear the outer room and to prevest further blockade upon the stairway. "Not you, of course,” said the inspect­ or. addressing generally the little group. No word was spoken by them while the orders were carried out, not with­ out some difficulty. When the room was cleared at last, the inspector mo­ tioned to one of his men to remain by the body, and led the way into the larger room. Mr. Lamm and Mr. Fetridge fol­ lowing in turn. Taking no note of the detective. In­ spector Applebee wh ..«d upon his com­ panion and clapped a firm band on his arm.

"I do not,” Thomas returned, deciMvely. "I mean to have you believe that Paul North died from accident, pure and simple, without th* inter­ vention of any second person In any possible w»y." "And is this man,” said the still In­ credulous inspector, with a toss of his bead in Fetridge'* direction, "supposed to have knowledge of this fact?” “Me!” gasped Richard Fetridge. “I assure you, sir. that 1 haven't the faintest idea of what he Is talking about" *Umha! And the conspiracy?" mur­ mured a reproachful voice close to tbe reporter's ear. Thomas turned quickly graap Lamm's hand. “My friend,” he said, solemnly, "I am sorry to say that you were quite right There was a conspiracy. You were shrewdly speculating here one day as to which person was at the head of it and which person carried it out; but you fell wide of the truth there. Lamm. Paul North himself was at the head of that conspiracy, and that pitiable woman, his adopted daughter, was the misguided lastru­ ment of perpetuating his vengeance.” Among those who stared at Thomas there was certainly none whose face expressed more of bewilderment, dumb and hopeless, than Richard Fetridge. Thomas observed this, but the sight seemed tp kindle his indignation. “And as for the cause of the whole thing." be said, “It is easily to be found tn the man who entered into an intrigue with an adventuress for pur­ poses of his own to completely ruin the husband of Paul North’s daugh- sented to satisfy the public. No more. There Is scandal enough in this affair at the best, without heaping the whole truth upon the heads of the unfortun­ ate family.’’ “YoU know yourself whether your re­ quest is reasonable.” returned Apple­ bee. “if it Is, you know very well that 1 shall only be too glad to com­ ply with It, If 1 can do so without plac­ ing my department in a false light be­ fore the public.” "Thia,’’ continued Thomas, unfolding the document, “is the sworn statement of Marion North." “You mean Mrs. Stackhouse?” the inspector said. "I mean Marlon North, sir. Ab to how 1 obtained it, I may say that was partly by threat, partly by argument I accidentally became possessed on Sat­ urday of the cause of her separation from Thornton Stackhouse. The in­ formation I found in a letter written by her to him. I found her in the last tgonies of a determined conflict be­ tween her pride and a sense of justice, which I am sure would eventually have ended in the surrender of pride, even without my intervention. At first she fought me off with all her strength, but I was fortunately possessed of a strong­ er argument than anybody else could have brought to bear upon her In the person of her sister.” ( T<> be continued } ' CASTORIAl For Infants and Children. ) J _ _ _ .

Jan. 16.—According to 1 a statement made Monday night by H.I R. Newcotub. of the bankers' commit­ tee investigating the affaire of Den­ ison, Prior A Co., which Is in the hands of Receiver Thomas H. Bush­ nell, the deevlopments of the day show that the gross liabilities of the firm will be $900,000, not Including the $1,­ 000,000 In supposedly forged securities. The assets of the firm. Mr. Newcomb believes, will be about $500,000. The formal statement from Mr. New­ comb to this effect follows: “I have just had a conference with C. E. Den­ ison, of Denison. Prior & Co. We have gone carefully over the assets and lia­ bilities of the firm. As near as we can figure It out, the gross liabilities will be $900,000. not Including the $1,000,000 In forged securities. Figuring these in the gross liabilities will be $1,900,000. The assets of the firm, we believe, wul be $500,000. That means that the n?t liabilities will be $1,400,000 unless othef forged securities are found, and I firmly believe that we now have found all that exist. These figures are approximate, not exact Assets and li­ abilities may vary to the extent of $100,000 or $200,000 more or less. The value of the assets will depend on how they are used.’’ Mr. Newcomb believes that few of the forged bonds were gotten into banks outside the city of Cleevland and the state of Ohio, and maintains that the forgeries were used as collat­ eral mostly In this city. That would make the extent of the Involving ol outside financial institutions small Mr. Newcomb said. The Forged Securities.

It Is said that It con talned no papers or memoranda that would disclose anything of aid In learning the status of the firm's af­ fairs. Among the contents of the safe was the insurance policies to the amount of $100,000 on Mr. Prior’s llfo. These were divided among four com­ panies, $70,000 in one company and $10,000 each In three others. Stocks representing less than $5,000 were also found In the safe.

Those figures were rather staggering, but it is surprising, perhaps, to hear that they had more than doubled during The secretary of the Game Protec­ tion association had obtained a return from the marketmMter which showed that 29.119 head of game were sold on the Kimberley market during the period April 1 to August 15 last. If of that 39.119 say 2.000 head were small birds which did not come with­ in :he usual interpretation of the word “game," that left something like 27,000 head of buck and bisds which were included in the usual interpreta­ tion of the word “game." That wa» a lamentable return, and clearly emphMlzed the necessity for taking some action to stop the indiscriminate slaughter of game. The totals under the various heads of the return showed that the game Included 3.402 springbuck, 244 duiker. 1.816 stembuck. 6.863 hares—the past season had been a remarkable one for haras, as all knew—3.897 korhaan, 3.­ 247 redwing. 704 guinea fowl, 137 paauw. 229 wild duck, 25 wild geese and 8,555 partridges and small birds.

SHIED JUT LIFE —That's what a prominent druggist said of Scott’s Emulsion a short time ago. As a rule we don't use or refer to testimonials in addressing the public, but tbe above remark and similar expressions are made so often in connec­ tion with Scott’s Emulsion that they are worthy of occasional note. From infancy to old age Scott's Emulsion offers a reliable means of remedying im­ proper and weak develop­ ment. restoring lost flesh and vitality, and repairing waste. The action of Scott’s Emulsion is no more of a secret than the composition of the Emul­ sion itself. What it does it does through nourish­ ment—the kind of nourish­ ment that cannot be ob­ tained in ordinary food. No system is too weak or delicate to retain Scott's Emulsion and gather good from it most remarkable and intereating Inci­ dents at the under these through the agency of It d . numb— or r—o in the stat, ol low., nod al th, time . A farmer died very suddenly. On the day of the funeral all his friends and neighbor* were assembled, and there and Influential man. The religious serv­ ices had been held, and preparations were being made to close the coffin. His wife, after taking a final view of hla re­ mains, was conducted to an adjoining room. Here she was quite overwhelmed with her grief, breaking forth in loud exclamations and wails. Suddenly she broke through the throng about her, and, going to the coffin, threw herself upon it. “Stop!" she cried; “John is not dead! I know that he Is not dead! Would you bury him alive?" The company were aghast The wom­ en groaned aloud and the men turned pale. At length tbe minister, who was present regained his composure. He placed his hands on the wife, and said, in most tender tones: “My Christian sister, your husband lives in the immortal spirit, but not In the flesh." "He is not dead! He is not dead! To all of you bls face looks like death, but I see life in it! Look at it!” Thus spoke the wife in wild accents of appeal, as she gazed intently upon the face of tbe corpse. The people crowded about, and looked into tbe coun­ tenance, and many touched tbe cold brow. Bat they all shook their heads, and whispered the same opinion, that the man was dead. There wm a physi­ cian present, and during this time he had said nothing, seemingly wishing that the people should form their own conclusions before he added his testi­ mony. He now spoke, and said: “My friends. I regret to say that good John Williams is as dead as ever a man wm. I pledge my reparation as a physi­ cian that he will never Breathe again." The coffin was now closed, and the corpse was borne to its last resting place. This wm In the family burying ground, in a field not far from the house. After a few shovels of earth had been thrown into the grave, the widow again interfered, and begged that it should not be filled until tbe next day. To gratify her. this was consented to. and shortly after the company dispersed, all more or lees Impressed with the events of the funeral. It appears from tbe account, which has been our guide in these statements, that Mrs. Williams was a somnambulist. On this night she gave a most wonder­ ful Instance of this particular habit She arose in her sleep and went again to her husband's grave. In the grave­ yard she found a shovel that had been left there for use the next day In filling tbe grave. With this in her hand she descended into the grave and began the removal of the earth fro A the head por­ tion of the coffin. * At this instant she awoke, and gave a shriek that was heard as far as the house. To her horror, she found herself in her busband's grave in the night, but her terror on this score wm at once dis­ sipated by another discovery that she had made. This was the sounds coming from the coffin. She realized all In an Instant, and became certain that ber husband wm still alive. ^'Help! help!” wm her cry from the depths of the grave. But she did not lose a moment A blow of the shovel split the coffin, and then she heard a voice saying: "I am John Williams. I have been burled alive! Get me out as quick as possible before I suffocate!" “Thank Heaven—thank Heaven!" cried Mrs. Williams. “John. It is your wife sent by God’s miracle to serve you." The top of the coffin was soon wrenched off with ber shovel, and Mr. Williams partially raised himself. By this time the affrighted Inmates of the house had reached the graveyard. At first no one wm bold enough to enter, but then came the shouts again and "Help—help!" At last a hired man approached tbe grave. Holding up his lantern, he looked into it "It's resurrection day!” be exclaimed, trembling in every limb.

Black-Draught Rio Janeiro, Jan. 23.—The Brazilian turret ship Aquidaban has bean sunk at Port Jacarepagua as the result of an explosion. The vessel practically waa demolished. It sank almost Instantly. The cruiser Barosa has arrived here from Port Jacarepagua with those in­ jured by the explosion of the Aquida­ ban. The Aquidaban blew up at 10:45 o’clock Bunday night. Nearly all the officers were killed or injured. The dead number 212 and the injured 36. Four Admirals Perish. Four rear admirals perished on the Aquidaban, which had been used for the accommodation of a number of navy officers and men attached to the flotilla escorting the cruiser Barroso. The Barroso had on board the minis­ ter of marine and his staff, who were inspecting alter for a new arsenal. The explosion occurred In the powder magazine. The vessel sank in three minutes. The following members of the com­ mittee which left the arsenal on board the Aquidaban accompanying the min­ ister of marine, were drowned: Rear Admiral Rodrigo Jose da Rocha, Rear Admiral Francisco Calheiros da Graca, Rear Admiral Joao Candida Brazil, and Capt. Alves de Larrigo. Two com­ manders, two German photographers and one reporter also were drowned. . No Chance for Life. The information in band shows that none of the sailors or officers had a chance for life. The center of the big engine of war was hurled outward and upward. Men were thrown high Into the a’.r, to fall stunned or mangled In­ to the sea. Spars fell among the men, but most of the latter were unable th grasp at anything in an effort to keep afloat till assistance might arrive. Others of the sailors who occupied portions of the vessel not rent asun­ der by the explosion jumped into the ocean and sought to swim from the shattered hull far enough not to be drawn down In the vortex produced by Its sinking. So rapidly did the vessel sink, however, that few were able to take more .than a few strokes. One Officer Saved Fire burst from the center of the ship simultaneously with the explos­ ion. and while the vessel settled the flames arose in the splintered decks. One or two small boats were launched by the coolest heads, but these were of i little avail in saving life. One of them j was swamped by the crowd that jumped into it in the panic on board. Another put off with one officer and several sailors inside and managed to make land. Smaller warships and merchant craft near the scene of tne disaster steamed out aa swiftly as pos­ sible to pick up possible survivors. They found few. so sudden and com­ plete was the wreck of the Aquidaban. „ The Aquidaban was of 4,950 tone displacement and 6200-horse power. She was built in England in 1885 at a xcost of >1.725.000. She had fire torpedo /'tubes Her crew numbered 350 officers and men. In the Brazilian revolution the Aquldabon played a prominent part. She was torpedoed and sunk by the Sampaio and when lifted she was rename# the Vinte Quarto de Miao. This name however was discarded later and the vessel given her original name.

Her face told it then. It was a big. smooth face, with accordion-plaited chins. Her hair was white and her nose was curved, and the pearls in her big ears brought out every ugly spot on her face. Her lips were thin, and her neck, hung with diamonds, looked like a bed with bolsters and pillows piled high, and her eyes—oh, Tom. her eyes! They were little and very gray, and they bored their way straight through the windows—hers and ours-and hit the bishop plumb in I the face. , My. if-I could only have laughed!

No, I won't And you won’t understand, but just that minute I cared more for what he thought of me than whether I got to the correction or anywhere else. It made us friends in a minute, and when he stopped the carriage to let me out my hand was still in hie. But I wouldn't go. I'd made up my mind to see him out of his part of the scrape, and first thing you know we were driving up toward the square, if you please, to Mrs Dowager Diamonds* bouse.

The date for holding the primaries in cities could not be definitely fixed as all cities in this state do not hold their election on the same date. If any political party in Barry or any other county in this state desires to nominate their county officers or representative in the state legislature this year by tbe direct, nominating system it will be necessary that the same be submitted to the electors of said party at the coming June primary and in order so to do the proper pe­ tition must be circulated, signed and delivered to the county clerk as here­ in previously stated (thirty days pre­ vious to the second Tuesday in June) but if no such petition is presented on or before said date ihenfno action on the question can be taken until 1908 and the said officers will then be nom­ inated by the county convention of such political party as in the past. tenant acquires a right adverse to his landlord's, he is bound to surrender possession before he will be permitted to assert that right Then, after sur­ rendering possession, he may suo and recover back the possession upon showing a better title in himself. A tenant in possession cannot gain a title adverse to his landlord through a sale for texes levied during the time the ..tenancy existed. Where tenant agreed to pay the taxes, but neglected to do so, and the land was sold, and the tenant purchased, It was held that he could not bold the property against tbe landlord. Tbe rule that a tenant cannot show an outstanding title against bis landlord, does not ap­ ply to a case wbeie tbe title of the landlord baa expired or has otherwise been extinguished since the creation of the tenancy. When a landlord sues for rent, it is a very common thing for the tenant to Cut in tbe plea that he has not paid is rent because the landlord has not made repairs as he promised, or that the landlord owes him money on an­ other account. Where tbe landlord has agreed to repair and does not do so, it is no de­ fense in an action to recover the rent. The tenant’s remedy in such case, Is an action on the landlord’s agreement to repair, or, he may setoff or counter­ claim his damages; or he may make the repairs himself, on failure of the landlord after a notice, and deduct tbe cost from tbe rent; or to move out of the premises. Tbe payment of rent is necessary prerequisite to bolding possession. If tbe landlord is himself a tenant, and the sub-tenant is threatened with being turned out because the principal tenant ba* not paid tbe rent, the sub­ tenant may pay tbe owner of tbe pro­ perty, ana this will amount to pay­ ment to hi* own landlord; and so he may even pay taxes, if necessary to save his possession or redeem from a mortgage forclosure; and whatever be has to pay to save bi* possession may be regarded as a payment of tbe rent.

There Is acontroversy a* to whether defendants, Barry A Downing ard Gribbln were active participant* in toe scheme by which tola stock of good* waa placed in a position to be diverted from the general creditors of Mabie C. Marble. There Is a controversy as to whether al the time the mortgage waa executed Downing knew toeextent of the indebt­ edness of Mabie C. Marble. There is a Controversy as to whether he acted in good faith io scouring bls own claim In the manner that bo did, or whether he knew as a matter of fact ot toe Insolvency of Mr*. Mar­ ble, and attempted to secure to his firm auadvantage over other creditors. All toe defendants have answered the bill except W. I. Marble and Mabie C. Marble, against whom it has been taken as confessed. They each claim to have acted in good faith and with­ out knowledge of tbe Insolvent condi­ tion of Mrs. Marble. I am of toe opinion that It 1s immaterial as to whether they did or not. Tbe scheme by which toe bankrupt law was sought to be avoided is too transparent to deceive anyone as to what was intend­ ed. The manner in which toe bank settled its claim against Mrs. Marble, the incorporation of a debt of <650 against her busband, toe adding to tbe mortgage <600 more than repre­ sented the claim of any one, to all of which Barry A Downing and Grlbbin and toe Marbles bad knowledge, and must be held to be parlies to the transaction, If not au actual fraud, is a legal one against toe other cred­ itors of Mrs. Marble and in my judg­ ment, it must be so held. Tbe complainant should have a de­ cree against all toe defendants for the value of toe goods taken except Burd. As to him toe bill will be dismissed but without costs. The question of the value of the goods is not without difficulty. Proof has been given of toe taking o f au invoice of the goods but a abort time before October 12, 1904. It is significant, however, that no Invoice has been produced. What it was taken for is not shown. I am of the opinion that some eort of an invoice was taken, which was more or less in toe nature of a guess. I am also of the opinion that the value of toe goods was greatly overestimated by Baker and Marble and others. This may ii is not possible under the proofs to be at all certain as to the value of these goods. While it la true that these defendant* were wrong doers and must answer for their wrong, yet it is apparent that Mrs. Marble was insolvent,»nd withoutdoubt her goods would have been disposed of under the law at considerable expense'and at some sacrifice to satisfy her creditors. I do not desire to render a decree that will punish these defendants in the sense of their being wrong doers, but hav­ ing taken the goods wrongfully, as I believe, they should be held for their fair value, if it can be determined. lean thinkof no better way under the proofs than the following. The proofs show that up to the time of the mort­ gage sale there had been sold and de­ posited in the bank to the credit of Gribbln <360.87. -On that day, October 20,1904, the balance was sold at public auction for <1600. On the 24th of Oc­ tober a creditor by the name of Wil­ liams replevined a part of the stock so bid io and held the same under his writ. These goods sc replevined were appraised at <337.35. Complainant may take a decree against all the defendants except Burd for the difference for which the goods sold at private sale and at auction and the value of those replevined by Wil­ liams, which will be <1623.52, to which will be added 5 per cent interest from Oct. 12, 1904 to the date of the decree. Complainant will also recover bls tax­ able costs. Dated January 23rd. 1906.

Auction Sale! or Millinery and Fancy Goods Saturday afternoon and evening These goods have got to go and consequently we win hold an auction sale on next Saturday afternoon and evening. H. E. Downing will auctioneer. The half price sale will continue, however, and if you want any of the great bargains come now, as the good things are going fast. Having rented my building and being compelled to give poeeession very Boon, I have decided to give the people of Nashville and surrounding country an oppor­ tunity to buy Millinery and Fapcy Goods at unheard-of prices. The stock must be closed out at once and to accomplish this I will make prices that will afford every­ body a chance to save money. In fact it will be the greatest opportunity the ladies of this vicinity have ever had to buy goods at these prices. Millinery goods of all kinds. Trimmed hats at just one-half former price. Untrimmed hats go at the same reduction. Baby bonnets, feathers, fancy feathers, plumes, ribbons, laces, jewelry of all kinds, buttons, pins, fancy combs, perfumes, ladies' toilet articles, buckles, ornaments, one Wheeler <fc Wilson and two Union Sewing ma­ chines are all included in the sacrifice, as well as a large Une of G/oves and Mittens, Hosiery, Corsets. Ladies’ Underwear. _ This is a genuine sale, not an effort to clean up some old stuff; everything has got to go and go quickly, so get in early and get first selection. At any time during the progress of thia sale I will sell the entire stock in a lump at a great sacrifice if anybody wants to buy. �driven insane I affirmed the decision of the lower court In dismissing the coal dealer's bill of complaint It was shown that there was a coal combine in Grand Attorney General Bird and Gov.

Indianapolis, Ind., Feb. 8.—One of the most dramatic scenes ever wit­ nessed in a national convention of the United Mine Workers of America was the final adjournment of that body Friday afternoon after the dissolution of the joint conference of operators and miners of the central and south­ western districts, because of inability to reach an agreement on tbe wage scale. When the lusty voices of the miners mingled tn the singing of “America” had hushed, an oppressive silence fell upon the assembled dele­ gates, and as President John Mitchell slowly pronounced the words which adjourned the seventeenth annual convention without day, thus dissolv­ ing every possible hope of averting a gigantic industrial war without the intervention of some unexpected and powerful Influence, the miners marched out of the ball, their face* set with a grim determination which showed the steadfastness of purpose which has marked the history-making session just closed. Strike Almost Certain. The apparent determination of both operators and miners indicates that neither will make overture* to the other for further negotiation*, and a* indicated by the speeches of both the radicals and conservatives of both organizations on the floor of tbe joint conference, unless some influence which I* not now foreseen, steps Into the breach. 550,000 men controlled by th* United Mins Worker* will walk out of the mine* in every section of the country on April 1. There have been intimation* that two agencies— th* president of tbe United State* and the National Civic Federation—may be appealed to to set in motion ne­ gotiation* looking to a rehabilitation of tbe joint state agreement, or at least a discussion of some possible means of bringing the operators and miners together for further negotia­ tion*. So far a* known, however, there is nothing upon which to base an assertion that either tbe president or the Civic Federation have decided to offer their service*. Th* Coming Battle. According to the figures given out by tbe national officers of th* miner** organization, they expect the strike to bring out over 600,000 men—about 150,000 nonunion miners la West Vir­ ginia and Pennsylvania with the 450,­ 000 union miners. Of thi* number abqut 150,000 will be out tn tbe an­ thracite districts, 85,000 in the Penn sylvania bituminous districts, 38,000 in Ohio, 17,000 in Indiana, 60,000 In Illinois, 16,000 in Iowa, 30,000 In West Virginia, 3,000 in Michigan and ap­ proximately 60.000 in Kansas, Mis­ souri. Texas, Indian Territory and Arkansas. The state enumerated will be the scene of the greatest part of th* battle. President Mitchell estimated that four people are dependent on every miner. On this estimate a national strike such a* is planned will affect over 2.000,000 people dependent ou tbe mining industry for their daily bread.

[J JohaDoa (> Blchar.’.Boe lu answer to the numerous ques­ tions asked during the last week, both by mail and in person I desire to state again, that tbe new law in no way changes or affects the "general elec­ tion,” that the enrollment and differ­ ent colored ballots are requirements of the new primary election only. Tbe tickets for the general election will be arranged, printed and voted tbe same as in tbe past. I now believe and always have since this question came before the people that the term ‘‘primary election” was the cause of a great deal of misunderstanding, as in the primaries we do not “elect” ex­ cept delegates to conventions but “nominate” and the term primary nomination would more accurately express it. This new primary law, so far as it relates to tbe selection of governor and lieutenant governor, state senator and congressmen, takes ■Jse place of and does away with the delegates to and tbe holding of oonveutiona for this purpose as Id tbe past, and where adopted in counties it Moes away with and takes tbe place of delegates to and the work of con­ ventions to nominate county officers, m you will nominate your party can­ didates oy direct vote In your home voting precinct, or usual voting place. If you as an individual, do not care to take part in caucuses or primaries of your party and help nominate your party candidates, or do not wish to express your preference for tbe manner of selecting tbe governor and lieutenant governor or care not how hereafter that is done, you need not •aroll aad you can vote at tbe genera! tbe primary to be held in ffune; other than this it is up to tbe different po­ litical parties whether they desire to use it or not; tbe law doee not propose to force the several political parties nor permit one political party to dic­ tate to or embarass the other in mak­ ing its nominations. HOW THE CANDIDATE GETS NAME ON THE TICKET, () John HmlUi HIE Whenever any political party has adopted tbe direct voting system of nominating their city, county, repre­ sentative, senatorial or congressional candidates, it will be necessary for every candidate for any of tbe said offices in order to obtain tbe printing of his name upon the primary ballot to file with tbe city or county clerk as the case may be, nomination papers signed by a number of qualified en­ rolled electors of said party in said county or district equal to two per cent of the total vote cast by that par­ ty Id said county or district for gov­ ernor al tbe proceeding November election, except in tbe case of new par­ ties, where one per cent of the total vote cast by said parly for governor is all that will be required on the nom­ ination papers of their candidates: or to make still plainer; if any political party in any county (except the four counties which are exempt from the operation of this law) after the propo­ sition has been properly submitted, decides to adopt tbe direct nominating system of selecting their county officers it will be necessary for every person in said party who desires to be a can­ didate for any county office io file with the eosmly clerk nomination Circutt Court CoBiwtaaloeen^ The Exchange / NEW DISCOVERY FOR COTSU1PTIM, COUUS AID COLDS doing all the time. “Sitting by My Wife’s Bed” () John KxuHh (> Charlea White () Jamas Black Proof copies of the ballot must be In tbe hands. of the city clerk or county cleric for public Inspection at least three days before the day for primary election.

In Atlanta Conatitu- the amaranthine vase By BARTON WOOD CVRRIB At the time when Greece wm the empire of the world a celebrated pot­ ter who lived in Corinth moulded a vase. He carried the vase to Thebes, in which city the great painter Appelee wm then scjournlng, and there­ upon Induced him to paint upon tbe ▼Me the portrait of a woman, tbe most beautiful in all Greece, The pot­ ter returned to Corinth and cast his vase in a seething furnace, whence it came forth virtually imperishable, a mMterplece of claMic pottery. The potter believed that the painting of Appeles would never fade and he called it "The Amaranthine Vase.” For several months the potter ex­ hibited his vmo in bls shop and its tame transpired throughout Greece. One day a great noble came to the potter and offered a sum that meant wealth and happiness for all his days. The vase was sold. In the year 146 B. C. the Roman Consul Mummlus, at the head of his legions, entered Corinth. After put­ ting the men to death and selling the women and children Into slavery he plundered the city of its precious treMures—among them the vase. For many years this gem of tbe potter's art remained In Rome and wm shown in the palaces of successive emperors. The passage of time left no trace on the magic work of Appelee and the beauty of the woman remained tran­ scendent. Finally the vase fell into the hands of the family of tbe Medici and after several centuries wm removed to Paris, where it took its place among th treasures of tbe Louvre. In the reign of Louis XIV. it wm stolen from the palace and sold to an ignorant dSSiSY In bric-a-brac. Bought by an English nobleman it crossed the chan­ nel and proved tbe delight of several generations of ceramic hunters. George Chalmers was a struggling young artist. His struggle was not only for home and to gain tbe young | girl he loved as his wife, but for the bare necessities of life. His aspira­ tions aimed at a high ideal in life. In fact, he thought that his preliminary step must needs be that of a master, and therefore most of his time was spent in building up and tearing down. One evening as he was going to his studio—the garret of one of the better sort of tenements on the east side of New York—he was attracted by a no tice advertising the sale of artists* materials, which appeared in tbe sooty window of a dingy junk shop. He went inside, and while overhauling a lot of brpshes and paints his eye fell on a startling bit of coloring that gleamed from a pile of bric-a-brac in one corner of the shop. Going over to the nondescript heap of rubbish he leaned down and saw a face about the size of a silver dollar enameled on the surface of a vase. A tremor went through the young artist’s frame: his eyes grew wide with amazement. "Surely that was the work of a great master!" With a trembling hand he reached down into the heap of rubbish and, exercising all Struggling young artist. tbe light.

Staff Tansing, Mich., Feb. 5.—On the *v« of the hearing regarding the railroad assessments, a startling rumor, that an attempt had been made to persuade Attorney General Bird to call off hi* fight for a readjustment of the com­ mission’s decisions, pervaded the state­ house Atmosphere, last week. The par­ ties interested in such a move are said to have come to Lansing and talked with Bird, telling him that his war on the commission would cause party dis­ sension and would be of but little ben­ efit These efforts, however, have nol been successful, and since the open let­ ter of the state tax commission to the attorney general was published, his opposition, which previously had cen­ tered on the Galbraith law, on which the rate was fixed, has been extended and he will make a showing as to the valuation of the railroads also. Per­ sonally he is not saying anything foi publication, aa he is busy preparing for the hearing, when he will be .called upon to lay before the board the fact* and figures in his possession relating, to railroad valuations, but his position is well understood. The attorney gen­ eral Is not wavering in his detrmination to make the fight against the rail­ road assessment as well as against the rate ot taxation, and he is receiving many evidences of appreciation of hit efforts from the public. “If anyone ha* been trying to call off the attorney general’s department on the railroad taxation matter," Gov. Warner i* quoted as saying, "he has acted with­ out my authority in any way ox knowledge. Of course, 1 cannot say as to what any ill-advised person xnaj have done, but 1 am acting In entire harmony with the attorney general** office In an attempt to secure a propei and just assessment of the railroad properties, and I shall not be satisfied with the assessment unless justice it done. I want the railroads to pay theix full share of the expenses of the stat< government. I did not have anj knowledge of what the board of as­ sessors was going to do on the ques­ tion of railroad taxation. I admit that I ought to have known, but I did not and I was as greatly surprised as anj one in the state when it was announcec that the taxes had been reduced. I think that if the general properties are raised 1300.000,000 the railroad valua­ tions should also be Increased." Plan Many Miles of Traction. There is every prospect that th« construction of interurban roads with electric motive power in Michigan will exceed this year all previous years It Is stated by tbe members of the state railroad department that there are more legitimate enterprises of that class planned for the coming season than ever before. There are also many “paper" schemes, which at pftsent de not show any signs of materializing this year. Recently a well-known elec trlcal railway man declared that not much -outside capital would be in­ vested in interurban railways in this state so iong as the present tax iawt are in force, capitalists considering that such enterprises are taxed too highly. This is denied, however, by the state officials, who are in touch with the plans for the construction of roads. They also point out that an outside syndicate has been able within the last few weeks to finance its big project for a large Interurban system in the centra! section of tbe state and Its purchase of the Kalamazoo-Battle Creek Internrban line and the local lines in the two cities as a part of its system. Southern and central Michi gan will be a network of lines if ail the plans carry. There is every pros­ pect that every projected line or a part of it. at least, will be constructed in the coming season. The DetroitBay City Traction company has com­ menced work on its line, which it ie believed will add an Important feeder to the growth of Detroit Grading has been completed between Bay City and Quanlcassee City and the right of way through to Detroit is said to have been secured. President Selects Postmasters. The following Michigan postmasters were nominated by President Roose­ velt and the names sent to the senate for approval: James G. Hayden. Cas­ sopolis; Julius O.

(Kaa.) and Mr. travel they will charge their railroad fare up to the state. This will ma­ terially increase the expense of the de­ partment In some states of the union the railroads are required by law to furnish tho railroad commissioner with free transportation and there Is said to be a good deal of justice in the reg­ ulation. as most of the traveling done by the railroad commissioner and his employe* is in the interests of the rail­ roads themselves. "Suppose the me­ chanical engineer is called to the upper peninsula to inspect a crossing of the South Shore and Soo lines," said Dep­ uty Attorney General Chase. "The matter would Interest only the two railroads concerned, and it would scarcely be fair to require the state to pay the necessary railroad fare.” This view is also shared by many who are opposed to the Issuing of passes to members of the legislature and state officers. There is believed to be little doubt that the legislature will pass a law requiring the railroads to furnish transportation to the railroad depart­ ment officials if the roads adhere to the present arrangement to curtail the is­ sue of free passes generally. Barry Attends Chicago Session. Insurance Commissioner Barry Is at­ tending the meeting in Chicago of In­ surance commissioners, governors and attorney generals to discuss the ques­ tion of uniform legislation for the reg­ ulation of life insurance companies. The Michigan commissioner, as presi­ dent of the national insurance commis­ sioners' convention, felt that it was his duty to be present at the meeting, al­ though he would have preferred to have the council delayed until after the public has been given the benefit of the report to be made by the Arm­ strong committee of New York. "It will hardly be possible." he said be­ fore leaving, “for the gentlemen who meet at Chicago to reach a conclusion as to the legislation required to meet present conditions. The report of the Armstrong committee, with Its recom­ mendations. will be extremely valu­ able to any body of men proposing uni­ form legislation." Galbraith Advocate Retained. The employment of Horace M. Oren to defend the Galbraith law under which tbe tax commission recently re­ duced railroad taxes Is considered a good stroke on the part of the com­ mission, as the ex-attorney general has always favored the law providing for equalizing between tbe general properties and the railroads. Also, as be defended the state tax commission in the Detroit board of education case which resulted in setting aside the first assessment of railroad taxes be­ cause the board had attempted to equalize valuations. He is therefore well informed on the constitutional questions Involved. Attorney Geenral Bird has formally accepted the invita­ tion of the tax commissioners to ap­ pear before them and submit the facts in his possession tending to show that the railroads have been underassessed. As the attorney for the people of the state, Mr. Bird will probably fyg al­ lowed the courtesy of closing the ar­ guments that are now being made by attorneys for the railroad companies in favor of reducing the assessment. Current State Topic* in Brief. State Land Commissioner Rose of­ fered for sale at public auction 100.­ 00(1 acres of tax homestead land In Oscoda county. Twenty-five bidders were present and the land brought good prices, considering the fact that they have been forfeited to the state on account of non-payment of taxes. Attorney General Bird has asked for February 14 and IS. the last two days possible, for his hearing before the state board of assessors in relation to the railway valuations. The United States Annuity & Life Insurance company, of "hicago, and the United Surety company, of Balti­ more, have been admitted to do buslneas tn Michigan. During the year 1906 life policy­ holders in Michigan paid one company alone $1,382,000. The company pays taxes on its Michigan premiums and this year turned over $27,641.80 to the state, an increase of $3,221.01 over the previons year.

Weber. San Frarclsco is another groat western city. However, it is one of the cities that was not “built in a minute" and it's architectural strength stands out in great contrast to most cities we have visited. The im­ pression one gets of >the city of San Franclso when entering from the sea is not tbe same as when entering by rail. Coming in from tbe sea all is hustle and bustle, great smokestacks, steeples, and skyscrapers are sil­ houetted against the distant mountains and the panorama is one grand view of built-up greatness. Coming in by rail, the first tight of San Francisco, nestling in the verdant valley taper­ ing off into a rock-bound ooast, makes one think that the one grand spot of tbe earth has been reached. At first tbe*city is lost sight of in the beautiful scenery beyond, and before you have fairly soaked in the grandeur of tbe picture you are whirling along amid shops, docks, buildings, and the usual elty strenuousness. , Our visit to this city was of rather short duration; however we improved the time and visited many places of but in all my travels I have not found such lawlessness as la practiced here. It makes me tired to ^gar of Christian societies raising mowjLto send mis­ sionaries to educate the heathen, when they could better employ tbe means they have to educate the heathen that comes to our own country to drag down our own boys and girls. One of tbe pretty sights is tbe Cliff house, which is a magnificent struc­ ture built up on a huge rock over­ hanging tbe ocean, from which place a grand view of the ocean and country is obtainable, and from which we seen many huge sealions lying on the rocirs sunning themselves. Golden Gate park is one of the pretty parks, it contains over a thousand acres of land and harbors nearly every an­ imal you could think of. Flowers and palms are in tbe great profusion. Well, this is enough of San Fran­ cisco, suffice it to say that it is a large city, the metropolis of the pacific coast, a busy place, and a place that might impress others differently. We will now take you south into what one might call the Italy of America, for race became and allbough it was hot. and is claimed to be one of tbe most enough to start perspiration on a' Chicago, Feb. 9.—The supreme court productive spots in Colifornia.

Nowhere are flowers any prettier or more profuse than in- San Francisco parks. The one thing that Impressed me more than anything about the city was the apparent inability of the authorities to cope with vice and lawlesaness and since thinking it all over and making the proper deductions I have come to the conclusion that it is not inability but indifference, on the part of the officers. It is said every­ thing, and every person is put into the world for some purpose, and it must be that way with cities. There are some very good, clean cities which tend to show up how rotten others are, and then the bad ones point out the “horrible example” for other places i to steer clear of; and in my opinion ' San Francisco stands out boldly in tbe latter class, and shows other municipalities how not to run tbe | affairs of their places, in a few words, j the major part of tbe population of i San Francisco it morally rotten.

The trip from San Fran­ cisco to South Barbara^IO miles, is one of extrem beauty. The road pas­ ses along the prettiest farms in the world; in fact, I do not see how they could be nicer. Prune, apricot and orange orchards almost contiunially the entire distance. The orchards are unlike Michigan orchards, too, they were as clean as a Dutch woman's garden, and the sight Is a pretty one. We came through the first week in January and farmers were just plant­ ing for their spring crops. We came over the Southern Pacific and the scenery was grand all the way, at one place we climbed lhe mountains until we were over a thousand feet above sea level. We passed through five tunnels and viewed the surf, near Point Con­ ception, where tbe ocean throws up its angry waves against the mighty rocks which cast them back in a wealth of white foam, we left San Fran­ cisco in lhe morning and reached here at night, always conscious that we were passing through country that pie, especially tbe Chinese, and the ■ was rich and beautiful, and some­ other low tribes of the Orient, ore thing of our present abode may be of could hardly expect anything else, iDterwit. and my idea of a good way Geographically and climatically, to ksep them within tbe bounds' Suite Barbara county bolds a pecu­ of dvUaaaaton sad decency would liar and important position ■ It* south­ yohahty not meet the aprobation of I ern shore oocstitutes tbe only <x»Irrn*1—' laws, however, I belie'* slderabie east and west coast trend o» if I WM chiet of police I would have toe western littoral, bonne it is toe m oid-fashirmed shooting ma*sh once only shore line in all this western la asrhtt. aal «he ta^ wouM b. toe land that faces toe sun.

Cook. Hnnting these beasts is one of tbe sports of the country. A writer, says: "There is a tremendous commotion in the scrub, as If a squadron of horses were striving to force a pas­ sage through IL We stand clear in the open. Some of us have recollec­ tions. not altogether pleasant. as­ sociated with manuka scrub and a wild boar’s tusks. Rifles are raised to shoulders as a tinv youngster, scarcely bigger than a spaniel, darts into the open. We lower tbe guns. The pig is allowed to escape un­ harmed. Now there is a dreadful row. exceeding all the preceding poise, on the very verge of the scrub. A dog limps out, a spreading patch of red that he never got from the dew-laden manuka boughs showing on his side. There is no mistake this time. At the extreme right of our line a huge boar, with the dogs at his heels, bursts half-blinded from the scrub. The man nearest levels his rifle. Tbe rest of us stand mute, expectant, watching for the effect of our com­ rade’s fire. "A flash a report, a tiny column of gray smoke quivering upward the boar, evidently unbanned, gains the scrub on the other side of the open. Surely our comrade—the best shot in the country—has not missed at that distance. No, he had not missed, as waa afterward proved. The bullet had glanced along the thick, armor­ like hide of the animal's shoulder, only making a slight mark. This hide, which frequently exceeds one inch in thickness, will turn any bul­ let that strikes at all in an oblique direction. Impatient at the failureof his shot, the man follows in close pursuit The remainder of the party proceed In the same direction ns quickly as the thick undergrowth will allow. “We can see from the motion of the scrub that the animal Is making for the entrance of a deep gully that runs right Into the heart of the hills. Straight up the gully they go, the flee­ ing boar and his eager, pursuer, with the yelping dogs in close attendance. The rifle speaks once more and we press anxiously forward. The shot has taken effect this time. The boar stands at ba}- facing the dogs; tte blood is trickling from his side; he sways as if about to fall. Our com­ rade, thinking the victory already se­ cured. and wishing to put the animal out of pain as soon as possible, drops bls rifle and pulls his knife from Its sheath. ■ ‘‘But the boar, sore wounded though he is, makes a furious rush, while the man. springing backward, trips over a piece of rock and falls headlong amid the scrub. Half stunned he Iles there helpless, unable to save him­ self from the rend of the cruel tusks. Tbe gallant dogs rush In; there is a moment of deadly conflict, a rending of flesh and a howl of agony, and one of the faithful brutes lies dying in the scrub beside his master. The pig Is just turning once more toward our prostrate comrade when we happily arrive on the scene. The man has escaped with torn clothes and a few scratches.” Judge Peters’ Ruling on Butter.

The law of Minnesota calls for a pub­ lic highway four rods wide and it has been the general practice to leave the full four rods uncultivated. In most cases this space has been overgrown with weeds only, that were not even cut down once a year. In this way many of the most obnoxious weeds have filled the adjoining fields and been spread over the adjoining coun­ try by sticking to the wagon wheels whenever the roads were wet This has not been the only trouble—there were thousands of acres lying idle ev­ ery year, because overgrown by weeds. But Lewis Olsen writes to tne Farm and Home that a gradual change for the better Is being worked out by the rapidly growing tendency among farm­ ers to utilise all waste land along the roadsides by cultivation and growing grain or grass up to the very road track actually in dally use.

The farmers of Knox county, Illinois., writes the cor­ respondent of the Farmers’ Review, want good roads, but gravel or hard roads are out of the question. We have no gravel or rock, and to ship stone would break up all the small farmers in the country. Our soil is such that If the roads are graded prop­ erly we will have good roads nine or ten months In the year. There are places in the United States where such roads can be built. Even oilefl roads may be built in some places. But In this part of Illinois the frost goes so deep that the expense would take the big end of little farms to pave the roads it contains.

JURY'S VERDICT CLEARS PIT CROWE RESULT OF HIS TRIAL IN 1HE FAMOUS CUDAHY KIDNAP­ ING CASE. Failure to Identify Him As Having Received Hansom Money Brings His Acquittal—Could Hot Be Pro­ secuted for Kidnaping Cudahy. Omaha, Neb., Feb. 17.—The jury in the trial of Pat Crows, charged with the robbery of Edward A. Cudahy, the Omaha packer, of >25,000 in connec­ tion with the kidnaping of the latter*a son five years ago, after 15 hours* de­ liberation, brought in a verdict of not guilty. Court Indignant Will Olbaoa, X. ■ When the verdict of not guilty was read a great part of the crowd, which LODGE. had thronged the courtroom through the nine days of the trial, arose in a body cheering. An attempt was made to press forward to where the defend­ ant sat to congratulate him. The dem­ onstration, however, was quelled by Judge Sutton, who proclaimed: "The court is amazed that an intelligent looking body of men and women should applaud such a disgraceful ver­ dict, which sets at liberty a notorious criminal. I request the bailiffs imme­ diately to clear the room.” Story of the Crime. The kidnaping of Eddie Cudahy, De­ cember 19; 1900, and his release Oldwrt upon tbe payment by his father of >25,000 ransom, created a great sensa­ tion. and the search for the kidnapers was stimulated at the time by the offer of a reward of >50,000 by Mr. Cudahy. It was the belief of the au­ thorities that Crowe and James Calla­ han were the guilty parties, but no trace of them could be found until about a year ago. when Callahan was arrested.

London, Feb. 20.—King Edward opened the second parliament of his reign Monday afternoon with the customary ceremonlaL The pointed reference to Ireland contained in King Edward’s speech to the house of parliament, coupled with the an­ nouncement of the determination to grant constitutional government to the Transvaal, brought these two ques­ tions immediately to the forefront in the debate in the house of lords and the house of commons. In the latter body Joseph Chamberlain attacked the government on all points and especially on its South African policy. He threw down the gauntlet regard­ ing home rule for Ireland. The reference to Ireland in the king's speech is received with mingled feelings and some degree of doubt. Some of the leas radical Irish mem­ bers do not hesitate to say that the clause In the king's speech means a modified form of home rule and Inti­ mated that Mr. Redmond would be satisfied with such a step, as it would surely guarantee home rule in the fu­ ture. VICTIMS OF FIRE. Four Members of a Family Perish in the Flames Which De­ stroy Their Homes. Johnstown, Fa., Feb. 20.—Four peo­ ple were burned to death and three seriously hurt in a fire which de­ stroyed the home of Patrick Grogan at Tunnell Hill, about 27 miles east ol this city, early this morning. The dead are: Mrs. Mary Grogan, uged t>3 years; Patrick Grogan, aged 11 years; Willie Grogan, aged eight years; Ka­ tie Grogan, aged ten years. Part of the Grogan family slept on the second floor and part on the first. Grogan was awakened by the flames and made an effort to rescue those on the sec­ ond floor, but was unable to do so. Three members of the family escaped by Jumping from the second floor. The house of Thomas Gregory, adjoining that of tbe Grogans, was burned tozthc gruond, as were those of Mrs. Xnnie Mills and Charles Anthony; There were several narrow escapes from death by inmates of those borises. There is no water supply at Tunnell Hill, which is a mile above Gallitzen, and miners from the mines at that point formed a bucket brigade. MITCHELL DECLINES.

Alice Lee Roosevelt, eldest daughter of tbe president of the United States, and Nicholas Longworth, the represen­ tative In congress from the First dis­ trict of Ohio, were united In marriage. The ceremony was one of the most im­ pressive ever performed in the exec­ utive mansion—was according to the rites ol lire Protestant Episcopal church, of which the bride is a mem­ ber. It was solemnized by Rt. Rev. Henry Y. Satterlee, bishop of Wash­ ington, and was attended by all tbe solemn state of a grand official func­ tion and by the devotional beauty of a cathedral service. No ceremony of a similar kind ever was witnessed by a more distlnr^ilshed assemblage. There were present as guests, not only the most eminent representatives of the American government, but the per­ sonal commissioners of the kings and potentates of the powers of the civil­ ized world, constituting an assem­ blage not only one of the largest, but tbe most distinguished that ever was gathered at one time in the White House. While the bride, herself, and tbe president and Mrs. Roosevelt had de­ sired that the ceremony of tbe mar­ riage should be as quiet and simple as possible. It was found impractica­ ble to limit the function, as was in­ tended at first, to the Immediate rela­ tives of the bride and bridegroom. It became necessary to include among tbe greets Invited certain official classes and personal friends of Miss Roosevelt and Mr. Longworth and. In all, the people bidden to the ceremony numbered a thousand. . White House Decorated. For days the White House, ordi­ narily open to visitors during speci­ fied hours of each day, had been closed pending arrangements for Sat­ urday’s ceremony. The east room, in which the ceremony occurred, was decorated most elaborately. Not since the Incoming of the administra­ tion of President Roosevelt have tbe White House apartments been so ex­ quisitely graced with flowers as they were on this occasion. Stationed In the vestibule was the magnificent marine band orchestra, under the personal leadership of Lieut William H. Santelman. the di­ rector of the band. A special pro­ gramme had been prepared for- the wedding. Tbe music was selected for the most part by Miss Roosevelt her­ self. At four minutes after 12 o'clock, Mrs. Roosevelt, on the arm of her eld­ est son, Theodore, Jr., descended the main staircase and entered the east room by the west doors. The Groom Takes His Place. Following her almost Immediately came the bridegroom, Hon. Nicholas Longworth, accompanied by his best man, Mr. Thomas Nelson Perkins, of Boston, one of the members of the corporation of Harvard college and a classmate at college of Mr. Long worth. They descended the main staircase and entered tbe east room under the escort of the military aids. The groom and his best man took tbeir places at the foot of the em­ broidered platform to await the com­ ing of the bride. Already Bislibop — Satterlee bad taken his place on the platform, attired in the purple and ivory robes of his clerical office. The Bridal Procession. Scarcely had the bridegroom entered the east room when the doors of the state dining room were flung open and the bridal procession started for the extemporized altar. Following the ushers came President Roosevelt and the bride of Mr. Longworth, her hand resting lightly within the right arm of her father. As the procession moved through the main corridor and into the east room, the marine band rendered effectively tbe grand march from Wagner's Tannbauser. Miss Roosevelt never appeared to bet­ ter advantage. Perfectly self-pos­ sessed and thoroughly appreciative of the situation, she graciously recog­ nized and bowed to personal friends Ask your druggist. formal reception of the guests attend­ ant upon the ceremony. President Roosevelt was the first to greet and to offer his best wishes to the bride and groom. He was followed by Mrs. Roosevelt and then by the bride’s brothers and sister In the order of their ages. Mrs. Longworth and the sisters of tbe bridegroom then extend­ ed their congratulations. They were followed by the distinguished person­ ages present, the Austrian ambassa­ dor and Mme. Hengelmuller leading the diplomatic corps as the acting dean of the corps. Immediately after extending their greetings to the bride and bridegroom, the president and Mrs. Roosevelt passed throughi the main corridor into the blue iroom. There they received the guests at the wedding after they had offered their congratulations to Mr. and Mrs. Long­ worth. Passing from the blue room the guests entered, through the red room and main corridor, the state din­ ing room, where an elaborate buffet wedding breakfast was served. Leave the White House. Shortly after four o’clock, Mr. and Mrs. Longworth left the White House by the south entrance, thereby avoid­ ing a large and curious throng which had assembled in front of the man­ sion. Alone they entered a large au­ tomobile and were driven rapidly away. They went to the country home of John R. McLean, "Friend­ ship," a few miles from the heart of Washington on the Tenallytown road. As the bridal couple entered the au­ tomobile they were showered with dainty slippers of rice. Off for Cuba. Washington, Feb. 20.—Mr. and Mrs. Nicholas Longworth started on their honeymoon from Alexandria. Va., at 11: IS a. m., Monday over the Southern railway. They will go to Tampa and from there take a boat for Havana, Cuba, which point they expect to reach Thursday morning. STORMS RESIGNS Indiana Secretary of State to Quit Of­ fice April 1—Fred Sims Ap­ pointed Successor. Indianapolis, In<L, Feb. 20.—Daniel E. Storms resigned his position as sec­ retary of state Monday morning, after a ten minutes conversation with Gov. Hanly. The resignation was accepted Immediately. Fred Sims, Republican candidate for tbe nomination of sec­ retary of state before tbe next state convention has been appointed to suc­ ceed Storms to fill out tbe unexpired term. Storms’ resignation becomes effective April 1, according to its terms, and 81ms will lake his place on that date. Before that time, accord­ ing to Gov. Hanly, Storms has prom­ ised to make up certain sums alleged to be due tbe state aggregating 66,180.41. The payment of this money was the condition under which the governor permitted Storms to remain until April 1. It Is understood that this money Is to be raised among cer­ tain railroad interests with the hopes that tbe resignation of Storms will avert the probability of a special seaaion, at which there might be tbe consideration of a two-cent war law. This resignation, however, affects the calling of a special session only in that one cause is removed. Other causes still exist, however, and the governor says the matter has not been determined 'definitely. DEADLY EXPLOSION, Colorado.

He is satisfied with a reasonable rate of interest and the ab­ solute security of both inter­ est and principal, such as this bank offers to its depositors. This safe and conservative course may not appear so attractive as some of the schemes offered, but is far the safert and most satisfactory in the end.

An employe of the Mexican Central railway has recently applied lor a Mex­ ican patent to cover a new explosive. The claim is made that this explosive has about the same breaking strength as ordinary 40 per cent, dynamite, that used in mining. In addition to this it will do sway with the usual bad effects of smoke, and it offers the advantage of being best exploded by a fuse or an elec­ tric spark, thus making the caps unnec­ essary. It is said that the cost of man­ ufacturing will be very small, owing to the cheapness of the Ingredients and to the simplicity of the plant that will be required. Experiments have been made with it at the mines of a me^al company in Aslentos, and from tbe report made by the company it would seem that the discovery gives promise of being worked into considerable Importance. Success­ ful tests have also been made with fire­ arms. If the patent Is allowed, a more complete series of experiments will be made with tbe explosive, and If success­ ful, the parties bolding an option on the patent will endeavor to establish it com­ mercially.

In expressing my opinion as to the voter's duty I am not suggesting bow you, but how we should act. In 1U03 claimed that the people by a Urge majority isjorlty were in favor of a primary law, and it was thought then, one which included everything from constable to governor. In 1905 senti­ ment had changed somewhat and n law permitlng the selection by direct vole of governor only waa demanded by many. Another class desired Lbe authority to retain all conventions but opportunity to purify the fountain of uncleauness by requiring the elrolion of all delegates by direct vote; sill) another claimed that tbe selection of city officials and members of the legis­ lature by that method would be entire­ ly satisfactory, as with the selection of the law making bodies of both city and state in the hands of tbe people, they could easily pass such measures as the majority desired. This in substance was the public sent! meet expressed up to tbe date o’ the enactment of tbe present law by such as favored the queatlon at all. Well, let us. see if thia new law does not very nearly meet all views and If any of the several parties believed the principle was good ss applied to tbe offices they desired affected, certainly it could not work to the disadvantage of the others. To those who desire to select the governor by direct vote, this new law should appeal with special force, and it ycu were honest and sincere in your public statements you will make it a point to fee that every voter enroll and avail himself of this new privilege Village Democratic Caucus. and this will Insure an honest trial of The Democrat* of the village are it.

Washington, Feb. 24.—By a vote of eight to five, the senate committee on interstate commerce agreed to report the Hepburn railroad rate bill without amendment, but the resolution adopt­ ed reserved to the members ot the committee freedom of action concern­ ing amendments offered In the senate. By a vote of five to three. Republicans prevailing, Senator Tillman, a Demo­ crat. was given the honor of reporting the bill. Thia establishes a precedent in that a Republican senate committee has given to a Democrat control of an Important measure passed by a Repub­ lican house, and endorsed by a Repub­ lican president. Senators Cullom and Carmack were absent and their votes were reported only qn the main prop­ osition. The resolution follows: "Resolved, That tbe Interstate com­ merce committee report favorably house bill 12,987 as It passed the house of representatives. It being understood that members of the committee have a right to vote as they choose on amend­ ments or to offer amendments In the senate on consideration of the bill.” The vote for the resolution was as follows: Cullom, Dolliver, Clapp, Till­ man, McLaurin, CarmacK, Foster and Newlands. Negative: Elkina, Aldrich, Kean. Foraker and Crane. Leading senators say they think the prominence given the railroad rate question, and the Interest the people of the whole United States have taken In it, entitles the question to early con­ sideration. It Is agreed, however, on all sides that the discussion must be prolonged and that undoubtedly It will be as bitter as any that has ever taken place in the senate. All factions con­ ceding the Hepburn bill will pass the senate, the only contest will be over an effort to Incorporate Into the bill some provision for court review of orders of the Interstate commerce com­ mission. Washington, Feb. 22.—After 15 years of more or less serious consideration of tbe subject, the senate on Wednes­ day passed a pure food bill by the decisive vote of 68 to 4. The bill makes It a misdemeanor to manufac­ ture or sell adulterated or misbranded foods, drugs, medicines or liquors in I the District of Columbia, the terrltorles and the Insular possessions of the United States and prohibits the shipment of such goods from one state to another or to a foreign country. It also prohibits the receipt of such goods. Punishment by fine of $500 or by imprisonment for one year or both. Is prescribed. In the case of corporations, officials In charge are made responsible. Washington, Feb. 22.—Chairman Hull of the military affairs committee. In presenting the army appropriation bill to the house Wednesday, urged the necessity of complete preparedness as to our army and navy, for trouble in the orient He declared thgfc any na­ tion not prepared to defend Its posi­ tion in China, might as well haul down its flag and quit the Pacific. Washington. Feb. 28.—Senator Knox Thursday presented his railroad rate bill to the senate and also introduced iris Interstate commerce bill. The lat­ ter broadens the boose bill and con­ tains a provision for review by the courts of the orders of the Interstate commerce commission. Washington, Feb 23.—The house of representatives refused to adjourn In celebration of Washington b birthday, and its members participated In a gen­ eral field day of debate en the army appropriation bill. Washington. Feb. 24.—Without opposition the house as its first business Friday passed the Tlllman-QlllMple resolution directing the interstate commerce commission to make examination of the subject of railroad discriminations and monopo­ lies and report on the same from time to time.

Filing of petitions for the sub­ mission of the primary act to a party referendum vow in each district must be done on or before May 12, and in order to be . noticed these documents must be signed by a number of en­ rolled members of a party equal to 20 per cent, of the vote cast In the dis­ trict for the party’s candidate for gov­ ernor in 1904. On June 12. a party ref­ erendum vote is to be taken in all po­ litical districts, where petitions, com­ plying with the clauses of the act, have been filed, and on that day each party must nominate by a direct vote its can­ didate for governor and lieutenant­ governor, and also vote on the system to be used In making nominations fo’’ these offices. This last ballot taking, the law reads, must be carried out by referendum. The candidate receiving 40 per cent of the total party vote cast for the nomination to either office is the nominee, providing the majority of his votes want direct nominations Should the voters reply in the nega­ tive, nominations Will be made by the state convention.

It la shown that while the volume of busi­ ness written by the fire and marine companies was much larger than in previous years, the aggregate losses loss to tbe premiums received is the smallest ever known in the state. During 1905, 167 companies reporting wrote risks in Michigan, aggregating *541,062,229, as compared to *490,451.051 in 1904. The premiums received in 1*05 were *7.270.52* and the losses paid *2,817,921, the companies paying out in losses only -29 per cent of the amount received in premiums during the year. The losseq. were approxi­ mately *250,000 less than in 1904, while the premium receipts were *300,000 greater. The showing made is one of the most remarkable In the his­ tory of the fire Insurance business, but it is said to have its parallel in other states. The application of schedule rating Is believed to have greatly re­ duced the hazard aa wall as the firs premium rate. Michigan Death Rate Grows. Pneumonia and tuberculosis con­ tinue the most fatal diseases in Mich­ igan, according to Secretary of State Prescott's morality report for 1905. Tbe total number of deaths from pneu­ monia and broncho-pneumonia report­ ed for the year wm 2.383. All forme of tuberculosis were the cause of 8 slightly greater number. 2.686. Re­ ported deaths from all causes In Mich­ igan In 1905 numbered 84,279, or 18.6 per 1,000 population. This number ex­ ceeds 1904, which was 34,015, and the death rate was slightly greater. The deaths of infants under one year of' age numbered 6.072, or 19.6 per cent of all the deaths returned. Deaths from violence decreased from 2.256 in 1904 to 2,178 for 1905. One of the most important showings of the bulle­ tin, however, is the fact that small­ pox trebled its list of victims. There were 72 deaths from this cause as compared with 27 of the year previous.

In every Instance the houses were occupied by negroes or negroes and whites. Tbe mob was formed Tuesday eve­ ning to avenge negro attacks on two white men, Martin Davis, a "Big Four " brakeman, and Earl Sulkins, a base­ ball player. The latter was shot by two negroes, Preston Ladd, of Belle­ fontaine, and Edward Dean, of this city, because he refused to tell the time of the departure of a freight train. In the fight Ladd, too, was wounded. Davis wa» stabbed and se­ verely wounded. When it became known that both victims of the ne­ groes might die. friends ot the wound­ ed white men began forming the mob. An effort to lynch the two negroes, who had been arrested, was deter­ mined upon. The authorities learned of the lynching plan, took Dean out of jail, placed him on ooard a train, and sent him to Dayton tor safety. Fully 1,500 men stormed the ja’J tn the evening, expecting to find the two negroes there. When they learned toe prisoners had been t-plrited away tbe rage of the rioters passed all bounds and restraint Instantly the cry “Burn the jungles!" arose an J swelled into a terrific roar as the mob started for the negro district known by that term. Hundreds joined the crowd at every block, and by the time the "jungles” were reached fully 6,000 frenzied men were In the mob. From nine o’clock to one a. m. this mob raged through the negro section, menacing life, destroying property, beating negroes and defying both po­ lice and troops. The mob first burned and sacked a saloon and six negro houses. Other buildings occupied by negro families were riddled with bul­ lets and battered with showers of stones. The mayor called on tbe local militia, and at midnight 80 men assem­ bled st the armory and were sent out to reenforce the police. The 80 militia­ men and the police, however, were un­ able to handle the mob, and It was not until the arrival of two companies from Dayton and one from Xenia, soon after midnight, that the mob could be han­ dled. Then, with the butts of their rifles and without firing a shot, the sol­ diers pushed the mob back both ways in Columbia street, east from Water street and west from Foster street. Finally the crowd disintegrated, and the trouble was ended for the time being. Springfield. O., March 6.—Four com­ panies of the Ohio national guard from Columbus, two from Springfield and one each from Xenia and Urbana, have been withdrawn from duty, the danger from further rioting having passed. Fburteen men and boys were arraigned in police court for rioting. Martin Davis, the brakeman, whose shooting was the cause of the trouble, died of his Injuries.

ALL REPUBLICAN. The Republicans Elected the Entire Ticket Monday. A Light Vote. An unusually light vote was polled at-the village election Monday—Inter­ est on both sides, with a few excep­ tions, seemed hard to stir up, and the day more resembled Sunday than election day. The day was cold and this fact may have kept many away. The total number of votes cast was 279 as against 335 last year, and by the returns it would seem that a large share of the stay-at-homes were republican voters as J. B. Marshall, on the democrat ticket, received the same number of votes as did C. E Roscoe last year, while his opponent, L. E. Lentz fell off 54 votes. Following is the vote for each can­ didate with majorities: PRESIDENT. L. E. Lentz, r............................ 146—18 J. B. Marshall, d................. >28 CLERK. L. E.

Tou're mighty smart, ain’t you? away with the swag, and where it’s always just the minute after you’ve made a killing. Cocky? Well, I should say I wax. I was drunk enough with succchb to take big chaacca. And just while I was wishing for something really big to tackle, it came along in the shape of that big floor-walker! He was without a hrt, and bis eyes looked 50 ways at once. But you've got to look 51 if you want to catch Nance Olden. I ran up the stairs of the first flat-house and rang the belt And as I sailed up in the elevator I saw the big floor-walker hurry past; The boy let me off at the top floor, and after tie alevator had gone down 1 walked up to th*, roof. It was fine ’way up there, so still and high, with the lights coming out down In the town. And I took out my pretty lace collar and put it around my neck, wishing I could keep it and wishing that I had. at least, a glass to see my­ self in it just once, when my eye caught the window of the next house. It would do for a mirror all right, for the dark green shade was down. But at sight of the shade blowing In the wind I forgot all about the collar. It’s this way, Mag, when they press you too far: and that little rat of a lawyer haj got me most to the wall. I looked at the window, measuring the little climb It would be for me to get to It—the house next door was just one fttory higher than the one level with the roof nearly where I stood. And I made up my mind to get what would let Tom off easy, or break Into jail myself. And so I didn’t care much wljat I might fall Into through that win­ dow. And perhaps because I didn’t care, I slipped Into a dark hail, and not a thing stirred; not a footstep creaked. I felt like the princess— Princess Nancy Olden—come to wake the Sleeping Beauty; some dude it'd be that would have curly hair like Tom Dorgnn's. and would wear clothes like my friend Latimr-'s, over in Brooklyn.

The long and eventful life of the noted sufiragUt closed at 18:40 o’clock this morn­ ing. The end was peaceful. She Lad been unconscious practically for 24 hours and her death had been momen­ tarily expected since Sunday night. Only her wonderful vitality ktpl her Dr. M. S. Ricker, her attending phy­ sician, said Miss Anthony died of heart failure induced by double pneu­ monia. She has had serious valvular heart trouble tor the last six or seven years. Her lungs were practically dear and the pneumonia had yielded to treatment, but the weakness of her heart prevented her recovery. Miss Anthony was taken ill while on her way home from the national suffrage convention in Baltimore, which was her last appearance in pub­ lic. She stopped in New York, where a banquet was to be given February 20 In honor of her elghty-slxth birth­ day. but had an attack ot neuralgia on the the 18th and hastened home. Pneumonia developed after her arrival here and on March 5 both lungs be­ came affected. Faced Many Insults. Miss Anthony was greatly beloved In this dty, which had been her home Since 1845. She lived to see a decade change In sentiment from the time, tn the winter of 1861, when she was hissed and hooted when she attempted to give a lecture on abolition in Cor­ inthian hall. That lecture tour, which started in Buffalo, was a series of riots, but Miss Anthony never flinch­ ed. The insults heaped upon her cul­ minated In Syracuse, where she wan egged and burned In effigy. First Suffrage Campaign. In 1867 Miss Anthony made her first notable woman suffrage crusade in the west. George Francis Train was a rich man then, eccentric, but shrewd. He proposed to pay all expenses and to start a suffrage paper in the east if Mrs. Stanton and Miss Anthony would take a speech making trip through the west The tour began at Omaha and finally extended to St. Louis, Chicago, Louisville, Cincinnati and other cities, ending with a big meeting In Steinway hall. New York. In 1896 Miss Anthony was elected president of the National Woman’s Suffrage association, a position which she held continuously until she re­ tired on her eightieth birthday in 1900. In that capacity she conducted campaigns for the adoption of a woman's suffrage amendment in sev­ eral states, notably In Iowa, Kansas. Nebraska and New York. Wins Every Reform But One. With the exception of Julia Ward Howe, she was tbe sole survivor of the early suffrage advocates who took part tn the* movement inaugurated at the famous convention held in Seneca Falls In 1848. which was the first wom­ an's rights convention. The laws for the equal property rirhts of women were first advocated there. Miss An­ thony has said almost every reform which she advocated had been acronWished with the exception of the rights of suffrage. She was one of the first advocates of coeducation and dress reform. She carried her inter­ est in the advancement of woman Into the practical affairs of every day life. Fhe always assisted the women In business when she could. Her photo­ graphs, sent all over the country, were taken by a woman photographer. She was attended throughout her Ill­ ness by a woman physician. portant adverse influence on the Alge­ ciras conference and on European af­ fairs. The debate In the chamber of depu­ ties was upon a bloody riot Tuesday during the taking of an Inventory of a church in the village of Bowchepe, re­ sulting in the death of a manifestant. Various orators severely criticised the government's course, asserting that it threatened to precipitate a religious warfare. Premier Rourlcr asked the adoption of a resolution approving the government's course. The resolution was defeated by t majority of 33 votes. Premier Rouvler, with all of his cot­ leagues, immediately proceeded to the foreign office, where a joint letter ot resignation was prepared. Later M. Rouvler presented this letter to Presi­ dent Fallleres, who accepted the resig­ nations. Paris, March 12.—M. Sarrlen has ac­ cepted the task of forming a ministry, after securing the consent of MM.

Cream Separators have been tested under all conditions, and have proved to thousands of satisfied users that they are the best machines of their kind. There are good reasons for their superiority. They skim cleaner than any other separator because the milk is skimmed three distinct times before leaving the bowl. All parts of the ma­ chine are strong, simple aad easy to get at The gears being entirely enclosed are protected from dirt and dust. The bowl having ’ ‘ only two aimpie parte inside is easily and quickly washed. The whole machine is very light running because the working parts run in oil, and are accurately made and fitted.

Graves, probably the moat eminent of all toe great jurists Michi­ gan bos produced, removes the last oi the bench of judges, ot the Michigan supreme court, known as the "big four." The other three colleagues ol Judge Graves, Cbristlancy, Cooley and Campbell, have long been dead, and the passing of the last of the quartette marks hd epoch among legal men of the state. Between the years of 1863 and 1876 these jurists were known un­ der that name, and the precedents and methods which they established arc still quoted and followed. It was whll? Judge Graves was on the supreme bench that that body saw its most glo­ rious days. The opinions and decisions of the "big four" were known and quoted all over the country, and the state gained reflected glory from their eml&ence. The decisions of Judge Graves established precedents for bench and bar throughout the country. At the close of his second term, De­ cember 31. 1883, Judge Graves retired from public life, having previously declined a renomination. He had been 16 consecutive years on the supreme bench, and during four of these year* had served as chief justice of the state Of Michigan Benjamin F. Graves was born Oc­ tober 18. 1817, at Gates, near Roches­ ter, N. Y. He was the son of Samuel and Lois Graves, who were both of old New England stock. In 1857 Mr. Graves was elected judge of the fifth Michigan circuit and unanimously was reelected to this position at the expira­ tion of his first term. While serving as circuit judge he was appointed, in June, 1857. to serve the residue of Judge Pratt's term as a membefof the old supreme court. A serious illness, following overwork, compelled Judg? Graves* resignation in 1866. In 1867 he accepted a nomination on the Republi­ can ticket for the office of judge of the supreme coj^rt. He was elected and took his seat January 1, 1868, being one of four to compose the supreme bench. In 1876 he was chosen by both Republicans and Democrats <vs their candidate, and was reelected by a unanimous vote. Michigan Pair Loses $10,000. Judge William Glover Gage, In a written opinion at Saginaw, held that under the state constitution it required a two-thirds vote of the membeia-elect of the senate to pass the bill appropri­ ating >10,000 for the Michigan State Agricultural society. A permanent in­ junction is ordered issued, perpetually restraining the auditor general from •assessing the tax and the eUte treas­ urer from making its payment out of the general fund. Fred Postal, presi­ dent of the Michigan Stale Agricultur­ al society, says that an appeal would undoubtedly be Uken. “I am rather surprised at the decision," said he. "I had supposed that we should get the appropriation, as it has always been voted before. If we don't get it, it merely means that it is >10,000 that -we'll have to get along without. I scarcely think the suit would have been started over a technicality if Sag inaw had not been sore at not getting the fair." Entertainment and Education Combined and not by private agreement—there 1b not even an understanding between them. Four years ago when Senator Alger was a candidate for the vacancy caused by the death of Senator Me1* Millan, Wm. Alden Smith was his ac­ tive and hearty supporter. When the next senatorial election came, instead of being for Mr. Smith, as be had said he would be. Mr. Alger's influence was for the re-election of Mr. Burrows. Mr. Smith accepted this change of heart graciously and promptly re­ leased Mr. Alger from any obligation." Board Should Adjust the Term. Judges James A. Parkinson, ot Jack­ son, believes that the indetermlnat.* sentence law should be amended so that judges should simply sentence convicted persons to prison, leaving the duration of the sentence wholly ut tbe discretion of the pardon board, act­ ing upon its knowledge ot the fltnesa of the prisoner for liberty. The maxi­ mum term of Imprisonment is properly determined by statute. He says he would welcome action by the legisla­ ture to this effect “If the prisoner is not released at the end of his minimum sentence,” said the judge, "he feels that a wrong is being done him. But If the duration of his confinement was wholly dependent upon his prison be­ havior and the demonstration of the fitness for liberty he was able to make to the pardon board, I believe a re­ formative influence would be brought into operation." Judge Parkinson prac­ tices the giving of a low minimum sen­ tence in order, he says, that the pardoa board may have the widest latitude In determining the propriety of paroling, and at the same time is careful to explain that the years which be names are but a recommendation of a period within which tbe pardon board may take up consideration of a parole. Lumber Men Join in Work. "Central Michigan Retail Lumber­ men's association" was the name se­ lected by the representatives of the 14 retail lumber firms at the meeting held tn Lansing. The objects of the organization are identical with those of the Michigan Retail Lumbermen's association, and any lumber dealer in Central Michigan may become a mem­ ber. The association will meet Tues­ day of the third week of the four months of January, April, July and October. All of the meetings are to be held In Lansing. F. B. Cook, of Ftowlenrllle, was elected president. B. B. Crapo, Williamson, vice president; B. F. Hall. Jr., of Lansing, secretary, and B. B. Hall, ot Grand Ledge, treasurer. The officers, with F. T.

A couple of fairly well dressed young fellows, giving their names »u James Cavanaugh and James Cloud, were taken in by Marshal Appelman Friday. They were ar­ raigned before justice McLeay on a vagrancy charge, and each given a sixty-five-day sentence to the Detroit work house. They put up a big protest and begged hard to be sent to Hastings foi ten a ays, but as this Is a favorite practice of the “vag” fraternity the judge, after conai lering their ages and physiques decided to send them where they could earn their living. Reports having gone out from the “peach belt” to the effect that the peach crop in that section had been practically destroyed by the unfavor­ able winter, H. A. Offley, who owns two largu orchards north of the vil­ lage, made an investigation of the con­ dition of hia trees this week and finds that they are all in good shape except the Crawfords, which art> all de­ stroyed. Of Barnards and tne other varieties, however, there will be an excellent crop, with prospects that they will have to be thinned. He eatimatet that he will have a crop of at least two thousand bushels this year. He also tells us that similar con­ ditions prevail at the big Beamer orchards near Hastings, all of the trees promising well except the Craw­ fords. Train 103, going west Thuesday morning, struck a horse and buggy at Bowen station, while going al full speed. The occupants of the buggy were Mrs. Cornelie Postema and her son, Isaac, 7 months old. The horse was thrown a considerable distance and was Instantly killed. The carriage was carried on the pilot of the engine until the train was stopped, when both mother and child were found unconscious. They were car­ ried into the train, where the babe died in about five minutes. The woman was taken to Grand Rapids and to Emergency hospital, where she passed away about noon. No blame attaches to the train men, as the whistle waa blown for the crossing, but the woman had a heavy shawl about her head and the carriage top waa up, so that she could neither see nor hear the train. The banquet given by the Roosevelt republican club at Middleville on Friday evening of last week was one of the finest affairs of the kind which has ever been given in lhe state. Everything was just as nearly perfect as it was possible for it to be. The banquet was nerved by the ladies of the Congregational church, under the direction of Mrs. Wood, and every seat was occupied, every ticket hav­ ing been sold long before the time of the affair. The menu was excellent and splendidly served. After the banquet, the gathering, which waa a representative republican crowd num­ bering about two hundred, was enter­ tained for two hours by toasts respon­ ded to by Governor Warner, Lee Pryor, M.

Btoastar Occurs During Blinding Thirty-Five—Debris Takes Fire and Victims Boasted Alive. Pueblo, CoL, March 17.—A wreck accompanied with horrors exceeded only by the Eden disaster, which oc­ curred August 7, 1904, on the line or the same railroad, resulted from a head-on collision of two passenger trains on the Denver & Rio Grande railroad four miles east of Florence, CoL, at an early hour Friday morning. The trains were the Utah-California express No. 3, westbound from Denver, and the Colorado-New Mexico express No. 16, eastbound from Leadville and Grand Junction. They met on a sharp curve and were less than 200 yards apart when the engineers discovered that a collision was Imminent. Victims Cremated. The disaster was made more horrible by the manner of the death of many of the passengers, variously esti­ mated from 20 to 36. Fire swept over the wreck, engulfing the victims tn a caldron of flame and leaving only charred and blackened bones to tell the tale of slaughter. A list of the In­ jured given out by officials of the rail­ road cotnpany comprises 23 names. None of the injured are dangerously hurt, and It is believed will recover. One of the pathetic tragedies ot the disaster was the Wiping out of all but two of a family of Taylor Hewitt, of Lebo, Kan. Father, mother, daughter, grandchild and the wives of two sons are missing. The two bom, E. A. Hewitt and W. L. Hewitt, are among the Injured in the hospital here, each of them having leg fractures In addi­ tion to other injuries. Two victims ot the wreck were Dep­ uty Sheriff Edward Baird, of Denver, and Archibald Whitney, a prisoner whom Baird was taking to the peni­ tentiary at Canon. City. The officer was killed Instantly. Whitney wAs burned to death. But for the shackles on his wrists Le could have escaped. Identification Impossible. It is reliably reported that but one body is sufficiently Intact to stake rec­ ognition possible, all the others hav­ ing been burned to ashes or incinerat­ ed. Identification of the victims who succumbed to the merciless flames Is only possible. It is believed, through a comparison of lists of rescued and missing. No accurate estimate ot the number of dead was possible by reason of the fact that so many of the bodies were practically destroyed. The mone­ tary damage to railroad property is es­ timated at >200,000. In addition to this all the baggage on No. 16 was de­ stroyed, as well as the mail. Crash in Blinding Storm. In a blinding storm which made It almost impossible for the trainmen to ••e ahead, the two tralM collided headon at a point midway between Tort­ land and Adobe, 25 miles west of Pu­ eblo, at 2:30 o’clock Friday morning. Immediately following the collision several of the wrecked cars buret into flames and were consumed, a number Violent Utteranoee Arrested Many Times in America. lOlnclnnati; March 19.—Herr Johann Most, the anarchist, died In this city ot erysipelas.

Most was driven out of Europe because of his anarchistic agitations, and came to this country following a term of 19 months in prison In London. In New York Most served several terms in jail. Finally, on April 26. 1886, he addressed a massmeeting urging workmen to arm themselves and pre­ pare for battle. He was sentenced to. a year In prison and served his term. During his career Most visited many ot the larger cities of the country to make anarchistic speeches and was ar­ rested many times. His last notable arrest was In September. 1901, when he was convicted for publishing an ar­ ticle In his newspaper. Die Freiheit, declaring it no crime to kill a ruler. The article appeared the day after President McKinley was shut at Buf­ falo. For this article he served two months In jail.

Spring Sults For Everybody In a road district, tbe United States, persons exempt on account military laws, paupers, or those mentally in­ competent. Yet us a matter of fact such tax is not levied in over twentyfive per c^M of tbe townships of the state. * On property outside of incorporated villages a labor tax of not to exceed one day’s labor upon each one hun­ dred dollars valuation,[one per cent) can be levied by a majority vote of those voting thereon who reside out­ side of such villages- Tbe labor must be performed in tbe dlstrictwherein the property, upon which the assessment is made, is located. Cash tax of one-half of erne per cent for bulldlnz or improving highway** and bridges can bo levied upon all property in the township, by a major­ ity vote of all those present and vot­ ing in such township. Thei e is a great demand for a change of lhe above system or systems. A majority of the leading citizens of tbe state have lost all patience with the way the labor tax bas been bandied for years in the greater part of the state. It is not collected, and if it is, it is so poorly applied to tbe road* that it does but Hitle good. But wo must not do away with tht statue labor tax until we have some­ thing to take its place. Will an all cash road tax do what is necessary, I. e., keep all roads in repair and Im prwve some roads each* year? No There is no law now upon tbe statute­ books that is equitable or will do what is wanted. There is a law which was passed in 1881 that permits townships to raisr all road taxes in cash, to divide the township Into not less than four road district* and in each of tbe districts to elect an overseer of highways, wht shall serve under tbe supervision o' the township highway commissioner, practically a deputy highway com missioner. But this law is not equit able, for it taxes as much the property in the incorporated village as it doe* tbe farm property, and tbe farmecertainly derives mpre benefit from tbe use of tbeoountry roads than does the resident of ibe village. Besides the village taxpayer, after paying hb cash road tax, bas to pay a cash street tax to improve and repair the streets In bis village. Neither is it fair to the farmer who lives on the by­ ways or back roads, for the township officials use this money to improve the leading roads at tbe sacrifice of the less important ones. In 1905 tie legislature passed what is know as Act No. 69 which is cer­ tainly a ridiculous imitation of a ‘ good” road law. It is often called the "four road district plan.” It pro­ vides that tbe township shall be di vided into four road districts, and in each of those districts an overseer shall be elected who is practically the highway commissioner for that dis­ trict. It puts out of business entirely tbe township highway commissioners, although under tbe constitution of the state he must be elected. This law also limits tbe amount of money that can be raised in a township to three fifths of one per cent, and is intended to take the place of tbe law now Id force whereby tbe township has a right to raise one and one-half per It Is to be hoped no township In the state will adopt this law at the com­ ing spring election. If they do,farmers who live off from thejleading roads will find as a general proposition that In order to gel anything done to their roads they must do it themselves after paying their cash tax, and tbe villager will pay dearly for the change. There can be no relief for three years after it is adopted, as no change can be made for that length of time. What can be done?

Kraft For many years the U. 8. Cream Separators have been tested under all conditions, and have proved to thousands of satisfied users that they are the best machines of their kind. There are good reasons for their superiority. They skim cleaner than any other separator because the milk is skimmed three distinct times before leaving the bowl. All parts of the ma­ chine are strong, simple and easy to get at. The gears being entirely enclosed are protected from dirt and dust. Tbe bowl having only two simple parts inside is easily and quickly washed. The whole machine is very light running because tbe working parts run in oil, and are accurately made and fitted. The U. 8. is the cream sep­ arator for you to buy. See one for yourself. They sold by Farm Implement* of all kinds at Boek bot x> yeas er sms Kr �Yep—two hundred.

I go round there' jdst doped with it; my face, if you eould see 1L must look like Molly’s kid's when she . Is telling him fairy stories. T) . -And what do I do? That’s what I 'was trying to tell you about the Cruel­ ty for. It’s in a little act that was made for Lady Gray, that there are four' Charity girls on the stage, and Lady Gray? Why.

Lord Harold Gray's a sure enough JJord. and she’s his wife, but—but a 'chippy, just the same; that's what she Is. in spite of the Gray emeralds and that great Gray rose diamond she wean on thq tiniest chain around her scraggy neck. Do you know. Mag Monahan, that this Lady Harold Gray was just « tcborus girl—and a sweet chorus it must have been if she sang there!— when uhe nabbed Lord Harold?

"You didn't do anything—not a blasted thing more than you were told to do. The world's full of supers that caa do that." For just a minute I forgot the dia­ mond. . "Then—it’s a mistake? You were wrong and—and I can’t be an actress?" He threw back his head before he answered, puffing a mouthful of smoke up at the celling, as he did the night he caught me. The gesture Itself seemed to remind him of what had made him think in tbe first place be could make an actress of me. For he laughed down at me, and I saw he remembered. "Well.” he said, “we'll wait and see. ... I was mistaken, though, sure enough, about one thing that night” I looked up at him. "You're a darn sight prettier than I thought you were.

Oh, I was drunk, Mag, drunk with thinking about that diamond! 1 didn't care even to please Obermuller. 1 juat wanted the feel of that diamond in my hand.

Motion for a new trial was at once made by the murderer’s attorneys. The crime for which Ivens Is to hang was committed on the night of Janu­ ary 12. On the morning of that day Mrs. Bessie Hollister left her home to attend tbe funeral of a friend. She was a member of the choir at Wesley Methodist Episcopal church and it was expected she would sing at the funeral. She was alive at 5:30 o'clock that af­ ternoon, for a friend saw ber In Lin­ coln avenue, near Fullerton. Her body was found by Ivens on the following morning. It was badly lacerated and was lying face downward upon a heap of refuse in the rear of a stable in which Ivens’ father kept a horse. A copper wire had been bound around the throat of the woman. Ivens at first seemed to pay little attention to the finding of the body. He told bis father, but later displayed indifference.

DEATH INTERFERES WITH FAMILY REUNION NEAR SUDBURY, PA. Rate Legislation Occupies Attention of Senate—House Sends Statehood Bill to Conference. Chicago, March 22.—Sixteen pack­ ers as individuals won the legal bat­ tle which they have waged for the last three months in the United States district court before Judge Hum­ phrey and they were freed Wednesday from prosecution under the indict­ ment which charges them with at­ tempt to conspire to violate the anti­ trust and interstate commerce laws. i Corporations Are Held. The judge released the individual packers on tbe ground that they were entitled to immunity from prosecu­ tion, specifically because the investi­ gation of the beef industry in 1904 by Commissioner of Corporations J. R. Garfield was in effect compulsion upon the packers to produce evidence tending to incilminate themselves— evidence which later was contained in the indictments against them. The corporations, it is decided, are entitled to no such immunity. There are five of these, the Armour Pack­ ing company. Armour St Co., the Cudehy Packing company, the Fairbank Canning company, and Swift St Co. It is probable they will not be tried until next fall. The maximum penalty which can be imposed upon them is a fine of <5,000 for each concern on each of the five counts in the indictment, tbe total amounting to <125,000. The individuals who are discharged by the decision are: J. Ogden Ar­ mour, Charles W. Armour. Louis F. Swift. Charles N. Swift, Edward Cud- Washington.

Another conference year for tbe Evangelical association has come to a clone; April tbe first being tbe last Sunday. The pastor starts on April second for conference which will con­ vene at Sebewaing, Mich. The people see too many ghosts. A few weeks ago, one appeared to de­ clare in a ghostly tone that all tbe missionaries in China would be slaughtered unless tbe people cf this country did something- Every one seemed to hare troubles of his own aud nothing was done, but no harm overtook the missionaries. They seem to be as safe in China as they ever were in this country in their trundle beds. Aa a fitting close to a “spell” of weather which characterizes March as a wild month, came one of the worst storms of the season last Thursday afternoon For a time it looked as though tbe weatherman had cut lo9se all the pent-up bad spells saved from the late winter and fired them all out at once. The storm came from tbe west and raged for about an hour snow being driven in sheets by a violent wind. Show your appreciation of a good band, by buying a ticket to tbe con­ cert to be given at the opera bouse Friday night. The Nashville band will be one ef the beat in this section of v-e state this year and if you do tbe right thing you will give it vour support when you can. You will not be asked to sign your name to a sub­ scription paper for its support, and you can listen to a good street concert once each week during tbe coming summer free of charge. There will be three or four coneerw given to pay the instructor and buy music, and if you attend any one of them and do not get your money’s worth you have not got much of an “eye” for music and the boys will willingly refund your money. For Thin Babies MEMORIAL TO MRS. TRUMAN. Tn tbe Editor of Tbe Nashville News: You pay an excellent tribute to the memory of Mrs. G. A. Truman in the lines: "No one who has lived in the village will be more sincerely mourn­ ed or more sadly missed than she.” This sentiment will strike a responsive chord fn the hearts ot those who >knew her. Sbe was one of the most remark­ able and resourceful women I have ever met, and it seems to me that Nashville will not be Nashville with ber gone. 'Twas in the earlv days of the vil­ lage, while in full bloom of a young and vigorous womanhood, that she was at her best, and exerted a power for good in every walk of moral effort. As a Sunday-School superintendent ber enthusiasm and influence was effective in moulding character and shaping destiny. And was there a family in need, or a sick one, or some one in distress, she was tbe minister­ ing angel first to discover and succor. The world has its ugly, seamy side, but Mrs. Truman seemed to be on tbe lookout fbr the good that is in the world and some bow sbe seemed al­ ways to find it She was here, there aud everywhere throughout the com­ munity., and wherever sbe went she was welcome as tbe sunshine. Her kindliness and naturalness of manner caused ber to be venerated by the young, eeteemed by the old and be­ loved by all. In this busy, bustling world we would easily forget our duty to man­ kind were it not for tbe angels God has sent into our lives to point the way. Their influence upon us is as sweet and fragrant as tbe unexpected flower that sometimes springs up along tbe desert path to make lovely tbe way. It is a rare privilege to have en­ joyed the acquaintance and friendship of such a woman aa Mrs. Truman and while we mourn her departure there is a comfort in tbe thought that her In­ fluence still lives. Thirty years ago those who wor­ shiped in the little church on tbe cor­ ner will remember her work there, and when the day was closing, the sweetness with which sbe sang “Sweet Sabbath Eve.*’ Nature is kind and God is merciful, and I be­ lieve he made her journey easy over tbe Great Divide and entry sure into His ‘ ‘Sweet Sabbath Eve” for ever­ more.

Imes & Co �ths state are anxiously awaiting the arrival of the "Farmer#' Institute Corn Special" which la to take a five day trip beginning April 9, wlta the object in view of instructing agriculturists of Michigan In the rudiments of medern farming, in order that the yield of the golden cereal may be increased during 1906. For those Interested In corn cul­ ture Prof. L. R. Taft, superintendent of state farmers' institutes, has ar­ ranged tor a unique series of Institutes. The "farmers’ institute corn special’* will be run over the Lake Shore A Michigan Southern, the trip lasting five days. The train will consist of a passenger coach, In which the meet­ ings will be held, and a baggage car for the apparatus and exhibits. A stop of one hour wjll be made at each place and addressee will be made by Prof. C. D. Smith, Prof. J. A. Jeffrey and others of the Agricultural college faculty. The principal topics discussed will be "The Improvement of Corn" and "Better ■Methods of Corn Culture.” In the bag­ gage car will be a corn exhibit, which will contain typical specimens of the different varieties of corn and appa­ ratus' fur testing the germination- of seed corn. It Is believed that 50 per cent, can easily be added to the aver­ age yield of corn in Michigan and it Is hoped that farmers will turn out to the institatM thus brought practically to their doors and learn how it can be done. The schedule of the special train is as follows: tn.: Bprtnxport. 10:50 April 11.-Adrian. & m.; Hillsdale. It a. i April IX—Bronson. I a. tn; Sturgis. a. m.; White Pigeon.

Cowles, veteran lumber statistician and probably the best Informed man in the state on Michigan lumbering, this state is still a leading lumber district in the country and stands first in the production of hardwood. Practically all the active lumbering in the lower peninsula is conducted in the northeastern section, west as far as the center line of the state and south as far as the Saginaw valley. In this district there was cut daring 1905 a total of 480,000,000 feet ■of lumber, of which only about 150,<000,000 feet was pine. The total lath ■cut was 111,560,000 pieces and total shingle cut 159,000,000. The lumber producing district is divided into three sections—the Lake Huron shore, the Saginaw valley and the Michigan cen­ tral, the latter comprising tbe territory tributary to the Mackinaw division of the Michigan Central between Bay City and Mackinac. The Huron shore district led with 184,532,000 feet of lumber cut; 1,633,000 lath and 103,581,<XX) shingles. The Michigan Central district cut 141,473,000 feet of lumber, 21,385,000 pieces of lath and 45,367,000 ’ shingles. The Saginaw, valley district ■cut 107,955 feet of lumber, 5,500,000 , < pieces of lath and practically no shin­ gles. Besides this, numerous portable ' and small mills cut an aggregate of from 25,000,000 to 30,000,000 feet of lumber. State Officials Plan Camp. The state military officials have confidence that congress will pass the bill making an appropriation of *1.000.000 for holding military camps at various places throughout the coun­ try at which the national guard will be encamped with regular army troops. In tbe expectation that tbe hill will pass. army officials at Wash­ ington lit already making prepara­ tions for the encampment. The Mich­ igan troope •*!!! attend the encamp­ ment at Indianapolis. the governor decided to investigate, and he wrote- Gov. Glenn, of North Carolina, who revealed the apparent motive back of the offer. Gov. Glenn stated that similar acts bad been pass­ ed tn South Dakota and New York, and the former state accepted ten of what were termed "Schafer" bonds. Sult was brought by that state against the sister state of North Carolina, a right that an individual does not possess, to collect on the bonds, and the state was successful. The litigation was bene­ ficial to the holders of those bonds be­ cause it Induced^hjorth Carolina to make a settlement with the private holders.

The occasion came, and the preacher donned his breeches, which in the meantime had been the abode of several hornets. He entered the pulpit and began his three hour sermon. His “firstly” was a little uneasy, his "secondly” showed signs of a coming storm, his "thirdly" was a regular cake walk and before his "fourthly" was finished he said: "Brethren. 1 am awfully sorry, but I can't finish this sermon.

Millions of dollars* worth of'(fattie pa­ per will doubtless be affected by the decision. The decision, which was unanimous, absolutely reverses a for­ mer decision of the supreme court on the same case. The present decision is on a rehearing. The far-reaching effects of this declslon are beyond estimation, Nearly all the chattel mortgages „ Issued through the members of the exchange' contain the provision that a commissicn of at least 50 cents n head shall be charged. .

Collinsville, 111., April 10.—Tbe town of St. Jacob, Ill., Monday was cut off from the world, except by telegraph, as a result of the disastrous tornado which passed across the southwest cor­ ner of Madison county, terrorizing the populace and leaving a trail of wreck­ age and devastation In its wake. The cyclone struck the center of the town, tearing to pieces a'-epurch In which services were being held. It was only by a miracle that lives were not lost among (he.worshipers gathered there. St. Jacob is a town of 500 people on the Vandalia railroad. 28 miles from St. Louis. Shortly before two o'clock In the afternoon a funnel-shaped cloud appeared In the north toward Marine township. It grew in aize rapidly and moved toward the town with great bounds. In the German Lutheran church Palm Sunday services were be­ ing held. The pastor. Rev. P. Meyer, was In the midst of his service when a glance through an open window re­ vealed to him the storm. Grasping Its import, he closed the Bible with a bang and told his congregation to flee (or their lives. There were 100 people In the brick church and they poured out in a body. Hardly had they cleared the yard when, with a roar, the cyclone struck tbe church and tore It to pieces. It was literally dissolved In a whirl of brick and timbers, but noire of the panic-stricken congregation was touched, although many women prostrated from fright. Twice more the cyclone struck the little town. At the place of George Giger, the big barn was picked up and carried away, the dead bodies of the horses inside be­ ing found some distance away.

It is being proven every season that the judlclous and proper use of man­ ure is a source of strength to the soil and the effect on the crops is very satisfactorv. The trouble has been that in tbe ordinary way tbe spreading could no*, be done evenly and properly. With a good spreader a given amount of manure will cover three times the surface, evenly distributes and produces very much better results.

For this reason we put up a fifty-cent size, which is enough for an ordinary cough or cold or useful as a trial for babies and children. In other conditions the gain is slower—health cannot be built up in a day. In such cases Scott's Emubion must be taken as nourishment; a food rather than a medicine.

SEED TIME is now at hand and the question is not "What Shall the Harvest be!"-but what variety of seeds shall we sow? “As ye sow so shall ye reap.” Therefore it stands us in hand to be very careful where and how we select our garden seeds. He who buys heavily and carries seeds over year after year is not a safe man to buy from. Our seeds are ALL new, ordered packed and shipped this year, so you will run no risk when you buy from us.

Sauer Kraut, 5c per quart. John Ackett Famous “Muck-Bake” Speech Is De­ livered by Roosevelt at Cornet Stone Laying in Washington— Bi ch Men Warned. Washington, April 16—Tbe wldelj heralded and sensational "muck-rake’ speech of President Roosevelt was de­ livered at the laying of the corner­ stone ot the offlee building for the house of representatives- Saturday afternoon. The saturnalia of slander, iuudsllnging qnd libel which Is being carried on in the guise of moral re­ form was mercilessly exposed and con­ demned by the president. Vicious Writers Rebuked. The . sordid, reckless, irresponsible contributors, writers nnd editors ol yellow newspapers and yellow tntigasines, who have been devoting theli evil talents to. indiscriminate attacks upon men in business and, in public life, were rebuked in a manner that if likely to render their unworthy and menacing occupation lees profitable in the future than it has been in the past The president did not equivocate in denouncing these charlatans of llterature. . "The liar is no whit better than the thief, and if his mendacity takes the form of slander he may be worse than mo«t thieves," was one ot the presi­ dent’s sentences. "The effdri to make financial or po­ litical profit out of the destruction ot character can only result in public calamity," was another. “Hysterical sensationalism is the very poorest weapon wherewith to fight for lasting righteousness." “If the whole picture is painted black there remains no hue whereby to* single out the rascals for distinc­ tion from their fellows." "The foundation stone of national life is, and ever must be, the high in­ dividual character of the average cit­ izen.” Thus the president arraigned the bandits of dally newspapers and monthly magazines, who have been striving to convert the unrest of the times into personal fortunes at the ex­ pense of the characters of whomsoever they deemed worthy of assault with their slanderous and libelous pens. Recognizing the existence of evils social and economic, the president urges warfare, but deplores the ac­ tions of those who make Indiscrim­ inate attacks on men of business oi public life, declaring fcuch a course would only react In favor oi the un­ scrupulous. Rich Men Warned. The huge fortunes being amassed in this country are regarded as a men­ ace to public welfare and a progress ive tax is, urged whereby these for­ tunes should be curtailed and limited to a certain amount. Rich men are also warned of the danger in attempting to prevent the regulation and control of their busi­ ness In the interest of the public. The president’s speech was, perhaps the most notable that he has deliv­ ered, during the past four years. In some respects it is the most impor­ tant beteause it alms to reach the nfasses of the. people, whose unrest has l>een stimulated by the overdoses of hysteria emanating from the pens of the men whom he convicts ot slan­ der. He tqpk for his text the man with the muck rake of Bunyan's "Pilgrim Progress"—the man whose vision was fixed on carnal, instead of spiritual things—who typifies the man who in this life consistently refuses to see aught that Is lofty and fixes his eyes with stolid intent only on that which Is vile and debasing. The president had previously de­ scribed the man with the muck rake at Speaker Cannon's dinner, where he electrified a concourse of distin­ guished men, who had been drawn from all sections of the cffiintry to pay honor to the ‘first citizen of Illi­ nois. On that occasion the speech of the president was intended only for the ears of those who were present and could not be published. The actual ceremonies In connec­ tion with the laying of the cornerstone were most impressive. A distin­ guished assemblage, embracing the supreme court, members of the sen­ ate and the house of representatives and the diplomatic corps, witnessed the proceedings. Walter A. Brown, grand master of the Masons of the District of Columbia, laid the corneratone, assisted by the grand lodge. Agree on low* Mine Scale. Des Moines, I*., April 1*.—As far as the question of prices for labor is con­ cerned the scale to govern mining ot coal in Iowa for the two years dating from April 1, 1906, was completed Fri­ day by the joint conference. Only the formality of figuring out advances f;r the second, third and fourth subdlstricts remains before the question of resolutions is taken up. All advances were agreed to; the miners practically winning out There is little reason to doubt that a scale will be algned Wed­ nesday and that all mines will resume May 1. Three Killed by Train.

Johnstown, Pa.; April 17-—Three men have been shot dead, a boy fatally wounded and a mining engineer.

The dead men and most of the In jured are foreigners. Liquor Generates Trouble. The foreign element had been celo' bratlng Easter Monday in the mining! section and much liquor had been used.| The streets were thronged all day with a boisterous crowd, but no sign ol trouble appeared until night. A body of strikers were assembled in front ol the Windber jail discussing the mast meeting that had been held during the afternoon, and yhich had been ad dressed by three Catholic priests. The discussion grew Into argument and soon there was a free-for-all fight. Deputies -that had been sworn in when the strike In the coal mines wae • first inaugurated, made their appear-! ance and a number of arrests were I made. Ail of the arrested men were I union men, and their colleagues set up a cry that they were being discrim I inated against and were imposed upon i •Deputies Fire on Crowd.-s The arrested men were marched to the lockup door, but-there a mob had formed and an attempt was made to take the nyn from the officers. Forced back from the jail doer, the' mob. growing more violent every min-1 ute, threatened the deputies until pie officers fired. The mob hesitated, ap-! parently not expecting the deputies would resort to firearms. ’ Miners Return the Shots. When the smoke had cleared away, and the victims of the’ shots were viewed by the cro wd, there were cries of anger and soon miners that were armed returned the shots of the depu­ ties. The fling ceased almost as soon as It began, however, and the crowd filed away from the jail. A state of terror exists because of the prevalence of liquor and the an­ gered miners. There is much dynamite ptored here, and It is feared the strik­ ers will resort to the explosive In re­ venge. MT. VESUVIUS IS TRANQUIL . ----- :---------• > OBSERVER EXPECTS SATISFAC­ TORY ENDING OF ERUPTION. Two Women Are Rescued After Six Days—Still Alive But Speechless from Suffering. Naples, April 16.—The somewhat threatening, condition ot Mount Ve­ suvius Saturday night having subsided with the ejection of enormous clouds of sand and ashes, the elements have begun to settle slowly, again envelop­ ing the mountain In a thick haze and cutting off the view from Naples, only the outline of the base being visible. Prof. Matteuccl, director of the Roy­ al observatory on the mountain, Issued the following bulletin: "My instruments are moat calm. The emission of sand continues In their abundant quantities and I wait serenely a satisfactory termination of the eruption." The sudden renewal of alarm Satur­ day night gave way Sunday to the cel­ ebration of Easter with unusual fer­ vor. The festival Is always pictur­ esque In Naples, but Sunday it was doubly so. Cardinal Prlsco, arch­ bishop of Naples, celebrated an elab­ orate thanksgiving mass in the cathe­ dral, while along the streets crowds prostrated themselves before sacred images. The gravity of the situation has now shifted to Ottajano and San Giuseppe, where the recovery of the dead from the debris goes on amid the misery ol thousands of homeless refugees. A sensatioiul development occurred during the work of salvage at Otta­ jano when the searchers unearthed two aged women, still alive bnt speech­ less. after six days' intombment. They were among the hundreds who were crushed beneath the falling walls dur­ ing the rain of stones and ashes last Sunday and Monday. Hope had been abandoned of finding any of these per­ sons alive. The women were protected by the rafters of the house which they were in and had managed to exist on a few morsels oi food which they had in their pockets. BUILDING MATERIAL H.R.

The lifting power of a youth of 17 years is pounds; in his twentieth year this increases to 320 pounds, fa the thirtieth and thirty-first year it reaches its height, 3t>5 pounds. At the end of the thirty-first year the strength begins to decline, very slowly at first. By the fortieth year it has decreased eight pounds, and this diminution con­ tinues at a slightly increasing rate un­ til the fiftieth year is reached, when the figure is 330 pounds. After this period the strength falls more and more rapidly until the weakness of old age is reached. It is not possible to give statistics of the decline of •trength after the fiftieth year, as it varies to a large extent in different individuals.—Chicago Journal. Too Kisky.

"To renew our acquaintance, of efturse.

No, it wasn’t that; it was only that I longed to do well—well before him, so that— And then 1 found myself In an alcove off the parlora, separated from them by heavy curtains. It was such a pretty little red' bower. Right behind me was the red of the Turkish drapery of a coxy corner, and just as I took my place under the great chandelier, the servants pulled the curtains apart ■and the lights went out In the parlors.

I could see the black of the men’s clothes in the long parlors-in front of me, and thq white of the women’s necks and arms. There were soft ends •of talk trailing after the first silence, and everything was so strange that I aeemed to hoar two men's voices which aounded familiar—Latimer’s silken -voice, and another, a heavy, coarse ' %ass. that was the last to be quieted. I fancied that when that last voice should stoprl _could begin, but all at <once my mind seemed to turn a someraaulL and. Instead of looking out upon them.

Mo? Not Nancy. Maggie. I Just took me by the shoulders. “Nancy Old’en, you little thief!” I •cried to me Inside of me. "How dare you! I’d rather you’d steal the silver on This woman's dressing table than cheat her out of what she expects and What's coming to her.” Nancy really didn’t dare. So she began. r The first one was bad.

The thing the wond loves Is the opposite of what It is. The pat—pat—pat of their : gloves came in to me when I got through. They were too polite to hiss. But it wasn’t neceesary I was hissing myself.

An eleven-year-old son of Oliver Bolton, living -at Stony Point, was the victim of an accident Monday which will result tn the loss of one eye, If not both. A dinner pail was setting on the kitchen stove, and the coffee cup on the top of the pail was partially full of coffee. The boy was just taking the pail off the stove, when the steam which bad formed in the cup hurst it open and the hot coffee and steam struck the boy full in the face, scalding him terribly. Dr. Shilling of this place was summoned, and did all that was possible for the injured lad, but he is of the opinion that the left eye 1s destroyed entirely,, while there is a possibility that the other may be saved. The entire face is badly scalded and the outer skin will all come off, but the physician thinks that the face will not be badly disfigured. There are four women in Nashville who have caused more trouble, ruined more lives, wrecked more homes, and caused more dissension and unhappi­ ness in the past few years than all the saloons the town has ever had, and it has all been done by their inordinate love for scandal and back-biting. They are not alone, by any means, but they are so much worse than othera that they are in a ciass entirely by themselves: almost everybody knows who they are. They are women of or­ dinary Intelligence,too, and ought to have something better to do than to talk about their neighbors, but the habit of gossip has become so strong with them that they think of little or nothing else, and the less truth there is in the stories they tell the more de­ light they take in spreading them. Fortunately, most of the people of the town know them and their character­ istics so well that but little attention la usuall r paid to the stories they tell until they are corroborated from a better source, which they seldom are. There is no crime in Christendom worse than slander, for there is no defense from it, and seldom Is it possible to trace the lies home to their correct source, especially as they grow in pro­ portion the more hands they go through until it is frequently the case that the person who started the lie in the first place doesn't recognize it when it cornea homo to them. We are sorry to say that Nashville is particulsrly cursed with scend al-mongers and gossip, much more so than many towns of its else, and more so than any town ought to ba. It's a good principle to go on, that If you can't say anything good about your neighbors and townspeople, don’t talk about them at all. The happiest people are those who mind their own business and let other people mind theirs. Don’t talk about your neigh­ bors. If they have faults and failings they are probaby no worse than those you have yourself, only you can sea theirs so much more distinctly than you can your own that they seem aw­ ful in comparison. If you hear a bad report about anybody, don’t repeat it until you know it is true, and*if you refrain from it even then you are help­ ing to keep vour own mind and skirts clean. Let the scandal-mongers wash and air their dirty linen if they must* but if you have any respect for your­ self, your family or your neighbors* don’t help them to do it. It may be four turn next to go through their I thy gossip mill, whether you deserve it or not. �In the Bishop's Carriage (Dwyrigift, >004. by TU. Bobbo-MorrUl C4) CHAPTER IX.

It ifiay have been that I was chuckling to myself at the thought of Nancy Olden with a dressing-room all to herself.

The first shocks destroyed the water mains and left the firemen powerless. Dynamite, guncotton and even field guns, br light from the Pres­ idio by orders of Gen. Funatpn, in command of the regular-troop', had all be«i ’used in the effort to stay the progress of the fire, wh’ch for three days defied the efforts of troops, fire­ men and citizens. The long and heroic struggle to sub­ due the flames reached Its successful conclusion Saturday morning near the ferry-house, where thousands were trapped on the wharves, to which they had been driven by the relentless ad­ vance of the fire. Here the final stand was made by firemen, soldiers, sailors and citizens, aided by fire tugs and a tew engines. Victory rewarded their efforts, and the entrapped peo­ ple were saved.

This Section of the City Was Com­ plete * Wiped Out as the only place of refuge and avenue •of escape from the burning city. It relieved the nervous tension of thousands who were ready to succumb to the prolonged strain. It sept a wave of optimism surging all over the city and made the skies look bright even through the pail of smoke still lingering. It was in Its effect like that of a powerful tonic administered to a fainting man. Three hundred woman andchlldren that of a vast ash heap. Desolation and ruin greet the eye from every di­ rection, viewing the scene from the center of the business district. Gold­ en Gate park and the Presidio are great camps in which over 200,000 metf, women and children are patiently waiting until they can say they have homes of their own. • They are living under martial rule with an uncom­ plaining resignation, enduring hard­ ships which they never dreamed of. yet without a murmur. The sight is presented of thousands standing in line before the food supply depots, waiting for their dally allot­ ment of rations. The man who count­ ed his wealth by thousands is not above standing elbow to elbow with the man who was in the humblest .circumstances four days ago. The women who rode in an automobile and commanded an army of servants re­ ceives her bsead after the poor wash­ erwoman has been supplied, and shows no sign of pride. Business Men Are Alert. A tour of the burned dlstric', except­ ing portions that are Impassaole, re­ veals _ appalling conditions. The stench'from escaping gas is overpow­ ering, yet is braved by hundreds of business men who are bent on ascer­ taining the condition of the buildings which they occupied and planning for the resumption of trade ut the first op­ portunity. Every Incoming train brings these eager-eyed men to the city from surrounding towns in which they took refuge. Chinatown is no more, and it is doubtful whether It will ever be re­ suscitated in the picturesque form which attracted so many thousands of visitors each year. What was Chinatown Is now a lot of holes in the ground, which may be aptly compared to rabbit warrens. Not a stick of the flimsy timber which, sheltered the largest Chinese colony in the United States remains upright. Even the ashes have oeen swept away by the strong winds, and the ground looks as bare as though It had been scraped.' Many Die from Hardships. The care of the dead and. dying Is becoming a more serious problem than before. Many deaths are occurring in the camps among the women and chil­ dren whose frail constitutions could not withstand the exposure. The dead that have been taken from the ruins are being burled In the bay and In trenches, and the work of burial is o.'ten being done under compulsion. Citizens have been forced by soldiers to help in the digging of trenches, so imperative is the necessity of remov­ ing the corpses and avoiding possible epidemics.

Mr. Schwerin was accompanied by other officials of his line, and a dem­ onstration of the facilities of the Pan­ ama railroad for handling traffic re­ sulted in the set&tement of all dif­ ferences and an agreement to work In harmony in the interest of tne entire route.

TO THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF MICHIGAN: A calauiilv, appalling ip its magni­ tude and in the Buffering it has caused, has befallen the people of the State of California. They 'nave received* as­ surances of sympathy from every country of th«*-civlllzed world. The people of the United States are called upon to do more than send sympathy, and the opportunity is presented to ub as citizens of the State of Michigan to prove that we are responsive to the call for aid from a stricken sister state. It is a lime when it should be remembered that “be give*twice who gives quickly-” The co-operation of mayors of cities, presidents of villages and other officials is asked in getting this matter before the people by call­ ing public meetings or by taking *ucb steps as they may deem beat adapted to bring about the result which it 1b our plain duty to accomplish. The aid of churches, fraternal - societies and other organizations, is requested, and the good work that can be done now by the press cannot be over­ estimated.

MEATS MEATS MEATS MEATS John Ackett building at Galesburg recently ' ‘the Imprint ot 1694 and devoted to clearing up. the miracle referred to. According to the writer, tbe explana­ tion consists in an error In translation and the truth of tbe matter Is that Jonah, after befog cast overboard, was finally driven to theahore by the waves and finally found refuge in one of the primitive taverns of the period. Ac­ cording to the writer of the "find" the matter turns upon the translation of the name of the tavern, which by too literal Interpretation of the original, was converted Into "Whale’s belly,” Instead ot Ils' real significance, what­ ever that might have been. The same authority accounts for tbe "casting out" of Jonsb at" the end of three days, by the alleged fact that he was “cast out” by the landlord1 by Reason of be-ing penniless and consequently unable to pay his board.

Year's Fire Losses Light. Last year’s fire losses in Michigan were only 39 per cent, of the premi­ ums paid, leaving the Insurance com­ panies Cl per cent, of all premiums paid In. Michigan for purposes other than payment of fire losses. But while the fire losses In Michigan were’39 per cent, of the premiums, the fire losses In other states averaged 61 per-cent This left the companies 39 per cent, for other purposes, which Is considered ample. These flgyres are one year later than any previous published re­ ports. Michigan Is paying a higher premium rate than the average of oth­ er states, and the fire Insurance com­ panies are paying a lower per cent of losses than the average of other states. This shows pretty clearly what the in­ sured property owners of . Michigan are paying for the support of the com­ bination of fire underwriters. Saginaw Plans Half-Mile Track. Although the fine mile track at Union park wll soon be plotted Into city lots Saginaw may have a half­ mile track on which the local horses may be speeded, If arrangements now under way bear trait. If a proper track­ can .be secured at a reasonable cost, and the money can be raised, a local association will’be • formed and races held here on August 21, 22, 23 and 24. If the Saginaw Track association scheme does not mature the Saginaw sportsmen will join with Bay City and give a meeting In that city on tbe dates given. Killed on Raik-oad Track. Lucius L. Mills, an old soldier, resi­ dent of Ionia, met a violent deatb In that city. He was walking on the right of way of the Peru Marquette railroad east of Mill street. He was very deaf and the engineer was unable to make hlm^hear the whistle. The engine strued^jim fairly in the back, throwing him from the track and kill­ ing him instantly. Mr. Mills was for years engaged in the mercantile busi­ ness In Ionia and was well, known. Reforestration on Large Scale. Under the personal supervision of Prof. Roth of Ann Arbor, state forest warden, 1,060,000 trees will be planted on the state treasury reserve In Ros­ common county this spring. .Chief Ranger Arthur Wykoff has been busy throughout the winter preparing the fire lines for the protection of the newly planted trees. These lines are run from swamp to swamp with a disc plow, a double line In each In­ stance. Last year's work presents a fine appearance. Fully 85 per cent, of the trees set are thrifty. The official enrollment figures of the University of Michigan for 1905-6 show a total of 4,571 students, a gain of 435 over last year. Forty-eight states arid territories and ten foreign countries are represented. Allege Law Is Violated.

GIANT WORK OF GLACIER. Electric Pow«r Being Generated by Ice of the Northwest­ ern Mountains. \ From the glacial streams of Tacoma Is already generated wvery large quantity of electric power, which Is being utilized not only for power, but for healing and lighting as well. To give an idea of the diversity of uses for the current, says the Technical World Magazine, It maj be stated that It operates the electric railway systems In [he-cities,of Seattle and Tacoma aggregating 158 miles ol trolley line. In addition to cable railways situated in the hilly portions of these cities. Besides this service, however current is furnished fofone of the most notable interurban electric railways it the United States, that extending be­ tween Seattle and Tacoma, where power Is secured<rom the third rail in connec­ tion with the multiple-unit system1 This line Is employed not only for pas­ senger service, but for transporting, freight and express material, and ranks among the most completely equipped I electrlc«hystems In the world. The! horse power required for a number o! ) the largest industries- in the city of Ta­ coma, including the shops of the North­ ern Pacific railway and the water-works pumping pldnt. Is also obtained from this source; while illumination, for streets and buildings, in both Seattle j and Tacoma, depends upon it to a con- i siderable extent. The demand for pow . er Is increasing so rapidly that within a few years Mount Tacoma will supply­ ing fully 50.0000 horse-power to the cities mentioned. “ALL WOOL” ALL WELL CLOTHCRAFT Is not mere trade mark but a mark that means much In tbe clothing trade—it Is the In­ signia of style; and clothes without style, you know, is like a violin vzithout strings, CRAFT CLOTHES, the iocnee counts for something and when a maker pi cloth­ ing establishes a precedent ot constant betterment — the wcarqrla sure he’s sate.

If you have been paying rent ten years you have paid enough to own the place you have been paying rent on. All that's the matter with you is that you're afraid to start. If you will come in and talk It over we believe we can save you this rent money. Money in this institution draws 4‘4 Interest and is not taxable. Security Building and Loan Association.

You've got to have a foundation, no matter what you build. If you build a house the First thing you need is a foundation. If you build a fortune the first thing ydu need is a foundation. It is the foundation that supports your after-efforts. Some men get rich in one grand bound, but it Is only one in millions. The most sub­ stantial and successful fortunes are built upon foundations which have been started in a small way. If you are earning money how wise it is of you to save part of your income—to place it in a foun­ dation to build your future success upon. It is the start that pre­ pares you for the opportunities which present themselves in the course of time. It’s money that ‘‘mikes the mare go,” and there­ fore it's money that we all want. Are you spending all you earn or are you placing a portion of It In our Savings department, where it draws 3% compound interest? If you are doing the latter you are preparing a foundation upon whicn will grow a financial struc­ ture that will harbor content and happiness. Start an account today J start with a dollar or more.

In these days of strife between two great political parties we must re­ member that after all we are just a band of brothers here on earth, traveling from the cradle to the grave. We live side by side, our children at­ tend tbe same school and after tbe smoke of the battle has cleared away, we will still be friends and neighbors. Let the bitter things go unsaid. At best, life is 'short, and we get out of it a full measure of sorrow. Let us in our little city live as one big, good natured family. , The marriage of Miss Genevieve V. Potter and Mr. Lewis Stoneman of Detroit took place last week Tuesday morning at 11 o’clock in Westminster church in that city.

Albert Stoneman of Grand Rapids, brother of the groom,perform­ ed tbe ceremony, assisted by the Rev. John Britton Clark Miss Potter is the contralto of the Westminster church choir and Mr. Stoneman a well-known young attorney.

The music loving people of Nashyille have a rare treat in store for them on the 16th Inst., when the Salisbury Family orchestra and entertainers will appear at the opera bouse. The family consists of ten, the father, mother, three sons and five daughters, all of whom are musicians of the high­ est class. Their concert and entertain­ ment will undoubtedly be one of the finest affairs which our people have ever had the privilege of attending, for they have an excellent reputation all over the country, being among the higest priced attractions of the great­ est Lyceum bureaus during the lecture course season. Nashville gets them at this time by reason of their maxing a short season on their own account during theearly summer months. The entire family also plays “brass,” and they give a free open air concert on the street, in uniform, at four o’clock In the afternoon, which it will well pay everbody to hear. Our article of last week about the quartette of scandal-mongers seems to nave stirred them up wonderfully, and not only the four who were specifically referred to, but a number of others who thought they were. Funny, isn't It, how the hit bird always flutters? Now tbe great majority of Nashville's women knew that it didn't refer to them. Why? Because they kndfr that it dtd not and could not, for tbe reason that they are not guilty. Only those who are guilty of this mo»| henious of crimes, that of blackening reputations and blasting homes, could have pos­ sibly taken any offense at the article, and to those we want to say quite frankly that we wanted them to feel the tiling. No woman, or man cither, for that matter, whose mind is not carnal and foul, indulges in this most insidious occupation. No good wo­ man or good man will by act or word try to besmirch the good name of his fellows. It is beneath him It has no place in his mind or his thoughts. And another thing, have you ever thought that it is demoralizing to even listen to the cawing of these buzzards? Even if you do not pass it on yourself, you do yourself an injustice when you permit these social parasites to inoculate your system with their per­ nicious poison. Let us put a stop to it. Let us have Nashville a town above such things. It will dear our moral atmosphere and make tbe town a better and a cleaner place to live and in which to rear and educate our children, if this social blasphemy ia frowned upon. Let the few intellectu­ ally deformed persons with whom tbe habit of back-biting and slander haa become all that life holds, realise that the rest of the people are above such things and will not listen to them, and we shall have done much for the wel­ fare of ourselves, our homes and the future of our little ones. There will always be wrongdoing and moral decrepitude, but the less said about it the better for the town and its people, and the less of it there will be, because vultures do not thrive .under sanitary conditions. �to begin »y MIliAM JTOCMXLSKJM CHAPTER X.

I'll never mimic that song, Mag, al­ though I can see her and hear it as plain as though I'd listened and watched ber all my life. But there’s no fun in it for me.

She .has such a boyish way of nodding her head, instead of bowing, after she waddles out to the center; and every time she wipes her lips with her lace handkerchief, as though she’d just taken one of the cocktails she makes in the play with all the skill of a bartender.

Inasmuch as the state Is defendant in this case It has not seen fit- to hasten the proceedings, but the tax cases were rushed through at a* speedy hearing upon motion of the at­ torney general. A great deal of work has been necessary in preparing for the trial of the charter case and a force of clerks at Jackson and Detroit has been employed in collecting the tacts for more than two’years. While the state's attorneys expect to defeat the company on the law questions involved, they feel that it would be unwise to neglect the fact upon which they may have to pro­ ceed to trial. 'Campbell Named for Marshal. The president has sent to the senate ■the nomination of Milo D. Campbell to Milo D. CainpbelL bo marshal for the eastern district of Michigan. Nominating Petitions Invalid. In Clinton county petit ions have been circulated for tbe nomination of u can­ didate for representative on the Repub­ lican ticket, and the attorney general’s department was asked whether nom­ inating petitions circulated at thft time under the new primary Ifiw are valid. The attorney general holds that nominating petitions, except for the oh flees of governor and lieutenant gov­ ernor, will not be valid if signed before the primary election on June 12. IIsays that in signing the petitions prior to June 12. the enrolled voters are re­ questing that a condidate's name be placed on the ballot before it can be de­ termined whether the law authorizing such ballot will be in force. It is asked "How is it possible to comply with the requirements of an act of the legislature before such act becomes operative?" It is understood that In many localities candidates for legislative and county offices have already been circulating pe­ titions among the enrolled voters. Pe­ titions of this character, under the de­ cision of the attorney general, will be declared Invalid as it will not be known until June 12 whether nominations can be made by the new primary system in counties, legislative an'd congressional districts. It should be made clear that the opinion of the attorney general does not prevent the circulating of petitions for the ' nomination of governor and lieutenant governor, as such nomina­ tions are not optional but compulsory. - Zostly Biaxe at Calumet.

Suggestion fur School Officials. "State officials are worrying because, over 1,600 school districts In Michigan receive mor,e money from the-primary school fund and the one mill tax than Is required for teachers’ salaries,” says Robert Oakman, former tax commissloner. "I. believe this trouble may be overcome by a simple change in the statutory law. The constitution does not restrict the use of railroad taxes to the payment of .teachers'salaries. That provision Is simply statutory. The use of the mill tax for that purpose is not a constitutional provision, either, and Both may be repealed by a majority vote of the legislature. In many dis­ tricts where the primary fund and the mill tax equal or exceed the teachers’ -wages, we find that the teachers receive a beggarly reward for their services, and that the school houses are unfit to give shelter and convenience for our Michigan school children. •*! would like to see thejajy changed so as to give the superintendent of public Instruction power to cor.stpldate or rearrange the school districts in certain. cases, and com|»el the locatkauthorlties to provide suitable houses and to fix a minimum rate of wages for the teacher." New Point in Railroad Cases. The Lake Shore •& Michigan South­ ern Railroad company has raised a point in connection, with the penalty on Its taxes of 1902. wnlch, if established, will apply to all’ other roads for the taxes of that year. Auditor General Bradley had the interest computed from April 1 of the following year as tbe time when those taxes became delinquent, .but the company-contends that the In­ terest should begin two months later, owing to the fact that the Detroit school board’s litigation caused the state board of assessors to reconvene and determine a new rate, and that notice of the taxes as later fixed was not given the com­ pany until the latter part of May. The Lake Shore, however, paid Its taxes and penalties for 1903 and 1904, those of 19«5 having previously been sent in. Taxes for 1903 were >253,575,22, and for 1904, >221,750.96. Other receipts of taxes and penalties were: Ann Arbor, >58.817.80;-Chicago. Milwaukee & St Paul. >60,916.10; Cincinnati Northern, >10,266.47; Delray Connecting Railroad company, >2.610.61. More Railroad Taxes Paid. The Grand Trunk Railroad company Is the second large company :o pay its taxes and penalties in full to the mulltor general. The company paid the state the sum of >777.734.29, which In­ cludes the balance of the taxes due for the years 1902, 1903 and 1904, with the accumulated penalties. One other com­ pany volunteered payment of Its taxes, but without the penalty. The check was held by the auditor general. Several other large railroad companies are ex­ pected to pay taxes soon. The railroads may appeal successfully to the next legislature to remit the penalties, but the auditor general has no power to ac cept less than the tax and penalty for which the law provides.

VILLAGE MERCHANT KILLED WHILE ON HIS WAY HOME BY UNKNOWN MAN. FATHER WANTS TELEPHONE CO. PROSECUTED FOR MURDER OF HIS DAUGHTER. Shut Down By Highwayman. M. C. Golden, h storekeeper in the village of Dennison, 16 miles from Grand Rapids, and near Coopersville, was shot Monday night by a highway­ man, who robbed the body of 1100 In money and a watch, and escaped while friends were running to the assistance of. the victim. Golden had been In his store with friends, and left for his. house, a short distance away. His com­ panions started In the other direction, and had gone but a few rods when they heard Golden cry and then two revolver shots. Running back they found the man lying on the ground with a bullet hole In his bead. The murderer had escaped. The most Important clue so-far Is that obtained from Clyde Tissue, an employe ol the Interurban railway, who says he saw a stranger wearing dark clothes and dark shirt take the Interurban car at East Dennison short­ ly after the murder. This man rode as far as Coopersville, getting off there. He wore his hat puffed down, and was smooth shaved. He appeared to be sleeping while on the car. Golden wah •hot twice through the head. He lin­ gered until after midnight, but never recovered consciousness. The killing of Martin Golden is not unlike tbe murder of Jennie Oom. near Grand Rapids, last fall. Like that case, the officers "believe that a Grand Rap­ ids criminal was the murderer. Perlihed in Burning Hotel. Henry Goetc, SK aged 85 years, was burned to death and L. Hargner. aged 68, farm hand, was suffocated in a fire which damaged the C. Goetz hotel at Frankenmuth Thursday morning. An­ na Cullett, a domestic employed at the hotel, broke her leg by jumping from a window. Eugene Williams was burned 'about the face and hands; Mrs. Henry Goetz. Jr., was burned about the face and her hair burned off; Annie Rleche's shoulder was broken. The fire started in the rear, though from what'cause is unknown. Goetz senior was the father of the proprietor of the hotel, which Is well known to travelers. The bodies o* both the aged men who perished in the flames were burn­ ed to a crisp when found. Mr. Goetz had apparently arisen and partially dressed before being overcome by smoke. The Frankenmuth fire depart­ ment checked the flames befpre the building was destroyed. The loss is about >3,500; Wants Company Arrested. John Westfall, of Burlington, wants a telephone company arrested for mur­ der, and has so petitioned Prosecuting Attorney Hooper. Westfall's claim Is based on the idea that a defective con­ necting system rendered it impossible for- him to call a physician to attend his sick child. The child was takthi suddenly 111 in the night and Westfall went to the 'phone to call a doctor. For an hour and a half, he claims, he labored without getting "central." The child died, while it is claimed a physi­ cian could have saved Its life without difficulty, Prosecuting Attorney Hoop­ er can find no ground for a murder charge in the incident. State Militia. Maj. C. A. Vernou, United States In­ spector and Instructor of the National -Guard in Michigan, has asked the war department to be relieved on account of his continued'll! health. State mili­ tary officials express some doubt whether the bill now before congress providing for encampments of regular army troops at which the National Guard will be Instructed will be passed by the senate, now that such a large outlay has been made for the relief of San Francisco sufferers and much of the army equipment has been sent to the stricken city. Should the bill fall to pass the state encampment will probably be held at Ludington. Thirty Children. Twenty-five boys and five girls com­ pose the progeny of Mr. and Mrs. Frank F.

Our Success We have succeeded beyond our own expectations, and why? Not because we have had in mind dur own success when we have done anything, but because we have worked to please and to satisfy our customers. “Give and it shall be given unto you,” says the good book, and in working up pul trade we have always found this the right thing to do every time. . Our Hopes We aim to give a better and a more efficient ser­ vice to our patrons in the future; and we hope in this way not only to satisfy in a greater degree our pres­ ent clientage, but that these, by praising onr store and our service, will gain ns many more customers.

Copyright. IW6. by Dally Story Publishing Oo. Where the road bent, Netta selected a tempting tuft of grass and seated herself upon it, depositing her numer­ ous small packages on tbe plat of green beside her. The great sun hat, scarlet with poppies; she had been wearing all day, fell back at s toss of her head and-she clasped both hands over one knee. For a long time she sat silent, medi­ tative, weary with, the day's-shopping, yet happy as the smiles that crossed anil recrcssed and sometimes lingered about her fresh young face. Dusk shadows presently began to choke away the pretty pink haze and paint a sober coat over the brilliant September foilage. The musical tin­ kle of cowbells and the calves' answer­ ing bieat mingled "falnfly in the dis­ tance and reminded Netta that it was getting late. With a little half-sigh bf regret she started to her feet, then slipped back again swiftly, as the familiar clatter of a horse's hoofs sounded less than fifty feet away. Flashes of scarlet quivered in her cheeks as -Ericson rounded the bend and drew re.ln. “Alone?" he asked, dismounting. She nodded and set to work col­ lecting her packages with sudden un­ concern. “It isn't safe for young ladles to be abroad at this hour,” remarked he, somewhat gravely. "Oh, but I'm different," answered Netta. with a defiant toss of her head. Ericson did not speak at once. Her words. Insignificant enough in their own Import, had struck a queer chord within him that caused him to draw a quick breath and shut his teeth hard to keep back the thoughts that fought for utterance. . “I know that you are—very differ­ ent." he said, after a while. The girl looked up with a swift question in her eyes, surprised out of her usual reserve by the odd note in his voice. He stood staring down at her for a moment, his hands' deep In his trous*. ers' pockets, then he dropped abrupt­ ly to the grass beside her, and com­ menced in । mechanical little fashion to toy with the long, slender blades. "There's something I want to tell you—must tell you,” he said, some­ what -unsteadily, his eyes fastened to the blur of tree tops in the distance. Netta caught her breath quickly and her lashes flickered. For the mo­ ment a sort of panic possessed her to jump up and run as fast as she could, but the reaction of a deeper Joy than any she had yet known, held her motionless. >t "Well?" she queried, smiling, hor voice low to hide its trembling. "I think I ought to tell you," he repHvd soberly, "that I am go<ng to be married—soon." For a full minute lhe girl did not take her eyes from his face; the smilethat a'little while ago nad leaped to her lips, froze to sudden bitterness. “Why do you think that you ought “Oh, I'm different,” answered Netta. to tell me—this?" she faltered, with a terrible effort at control. "I owe it to you. I think," he re­ sponded slowly, because of the friendship that has existed between us.” Netta did not apeak. For a long time she sat staring In a dull way at the small, brown hands that had Involuntarily clenched themselves in her lap. After a while she glanced up with dry, bright eyes, and held out her fingers. “Of course, I wish you ail possible happiness," she said, "you know that I’d better be going home now," she added, in a different tone, "It is almoat dark." Netta lay sobbing in his arms. “I can ne^er give you uj^be cried, brokenly,’ “not If a thouaaad'^ows and promise* stood between!*” The girl drew herself sharply from his embrace with a sudden accession of strength; bia words had sobered her. • “Good-bye," she said, ."you must keepvyour troth inviolate; it-*-It's the only way.

Two brilliant roses had slipped Into the girl’s checks, and tlie eyea above them looked deep and dark with a radiant happiness. Her hair, black and waring, tumbled picturesquely over a smooth, white forehead. Somewhere inside the room, a clock struck four, nnd Netta drew in her breath with a sudden heart-beat Sim­ ultaneously, came the sound of swift­ rushing wheels over the hard clay road beyond.

"Quite certain,” he responded, earnwas a good little girl, woe not hard to do the right thing by her, even though," he added with abrupt fervor,, “the love of my I life had been given to another—to you." His arms went round her again and Netta hid her blood-burned j cheeks. “That night.” she Baid, presently, "when you went from me. I felt just as though one of us had died, and yet—" She paused, and a luminous light came to her eyes. “I should never have married you.

VOLUME XXXIII LOCAL AND PERSONAL. A National Bank becomes a U. S. de­ pository by depositing U. S. bonds in the U. S. treasury to cover the amount of the loan. A bank becomes a state depository by .filing a good bond to secure the state for the amount borrowed from the state. The same conditions apply in case of city or other public funds. Many banks ad­ vertise that they are depositories but fail, to state that it is money borrowed. %j The depositors of the Farmers & Mer­ chants Bank are secured not only by the assets of the bank but by a double liability of the stockholders. - r You Know Them.

Just because summer held forth all winter is that any reason why winter should hold on all summer? The weather man has the seasons shifted somehow and it might- be well to em­ ploy Columbus -S. Palmerton of Wood­ land orRev.Irl R. Hicks of St. Louis to help him get things straightened out again. A dividend of 80 per cent was paid creditors last week in the Marble bankruptcy case, with a prospect that tbe next and final dividend, which will be declared in about ninety days, will pay everything up in full. This is an unusual result in a bankruptcy case, and the creditors are to be con­ gratulated. Richard I. Bennett's saloon at Vermontville had 'Vclose call from destruction by fire Sunday night. Smoke was discovered issuing from the building and the fire was extingu­ ished before any damage resulted. The fire started In the whiskey room and there are rumors afloat in that village that it was of incendiary origin. . The woman who has garden seed in is the most indignant person in town these days, and the neighbor who owns the chickens must be haying trouble with her bars- It might be added, by tbe way, that no man down town keeps a nuisance that would offend the man doing business next door to him. Still, men are supposed to be so mean that a woman is too good to associate with them. Of much Interest was the W L. club meeting at Mrs. Bennett's May 8. The work on Austria-Hungary is nearing completion. Tbe study of these countries under a dual monarchy, with a grand old man as Epaperor and King is delightfully entertaining. Patriotism can be learned from these nations from no other. Next meet­ ing, May 15 with Mrs. M. Reynolds, by invitation. The new tower and tank for the automatic -sprinkler system at the Lentz table factory is completed, and it is quite an imposing affair, being one of the first objects noticeable when coming into town from any direction. The top of the tank is somewhat higher from the ground than the water works standpipe, although being on lower ground it does not seem so. Tbe other additions at the factory are pro­ gressing rapidly. There having been no new cases of scarlet fever, the board of health has lifted tbe quarantine which had been established, and the churches and schools are again free to hold ses­ sions. All of the churches held their usual services last Sunday to excellent congregations, and school opened Monday morning, with a fairly good attendance, many children being out on account of mumps and measles, both of which are however subsiding. There was sort of a family gather­ ing at L. Slrow's, northeast of town, last Sunday,- the following being present: Mr. and Mrs. Ray DeCoo and son Richard, Mrs. S.E. Bergman and Miss Minia Bergman of Charlotte; J. E. Bergman and wife and Mrs. B. B. Downing of Nashville, Mrs. Addie Hager of Woodland, Mrs. M. E. Downing, Deta Downing, Mrs. S. J. Wiley and Mrs. Inez Bower and children. Mr. and Mrs-DeCoo returned Monday and Mrs. S. E. Bergman re­ mained for a visit with her daughter, Mrs. Strow. Legitimate business never harms a man or causes him to become a nerv­ ous wreck. The trouble is caused by foolish people who annoy unneces­ sarily, heedlessly and to the disadvan­ tage of everybody and everything. Ask any business man and be will tell you legitimate busipess never was a burden; he will tell you that the bores cause all of his trouble; the men who sit, and sit, and sit, and repeat a thing over and over, after you know It by heart. Men who want to be so­ cial during business hours, are also a great strain. When you are idle, in the name of Mahomet and his suc­ cessors, keep away from men who are busy. They want to be polite, and in trying to-be polite when they feel like cursing you, they strain themselves. Wesley Hyde of Grand Rapids haa disposed of bis foldings in the Thorn­ apple Gas & Electric Co. to John D. Pratt, capitalist of New York City. That gentleman, who is rated many times a millionaire, will put more money into the company and greatly improve its property. First it is pro­ posed to put in another water wheel at the LaBarge dam, thus increasing tbe power very largely, making 900 horse power which will, be effective when re­ quired. For only a little time each night will this additional power be required, but for that time the added power is very necessary in order to give good service to the company’s patrons in Middleville, Hastings, Nashville and Lake Odessa.. Tbe com­ pany has plenty of water to furnish the added power, which will onlv be required for a few hours in tbe earlier evenings in the fail, winter and spring months. It is expected to bring tbe current which is used for power on separate wires from those where the current is used for lighting. It is ex­ pected that the company will expend, not less than $25,000 tn •improvement* this year.—Hastings Banner. �A . BE£ TALK. I JDAY DESCRIPTION OF WALL STREET'S DAY OF DISASTER.

Phone 162-12 Our Store We started out to make our store a public neces­ sity, as well as a benefit, and our whole endeavor in tbe future shall be given to this same end, by think­ ing first and always of our customers’ gain, and not of our our own. Our Policy We decided when we embarked in the business, to build up a reputation for honesty and square deal­ ing with our customers, and ’we ~ shall always stick closely to this policy because we are sure that it is the one that pays in the end. Our Stock We carry a stock unequalled in price and quality and we know that our customers appreciate the merits of oiir goods. We carry everything the} trade calls for, but if there is anything in our line you want which we haven’t got kindly tell us about it and it won’t take us long to get it. Our Prices We believe in being economical and adhere to tbe idea of transacting business only upon busi­ ness principles. For this reason our prices are the lowest consistent with tbe class ot goods we carry, and we guarantee that when you purchase a dollar’s worth of goods from us you’ll get a dollar’s worth. Our Success We have succeeded beyond onr own expectations, and why! Not because we have had in mind our own success when we have done anything, but because we have worked to please and to satisfy our customers. “Give and it shall be given unto you,” says the good book, and in working up onr trade we have always found this the right thing to do every time. Our Hopes We aim to give a better and a more efficient ser­ vice to our patrons in tbe future; and we hope in thia way not only to satisfy in a greater degree our pr»e ent clientage, but tbnt these, by praising our stoir and our service, will gain its many more customer*.

I counted the cracks between the chair and the floor of the office where the chief was busy with another case. I counted them six times, back and forth, till my eyes were clear and my voice was steady. •••You're awfully good." I said, look­ ing up at him as he stood by me. "You’re the best fellow 1 ever knew. I didn’t know men could be so good to women. . . . But you’d btetter go —please. It'll be bad enough when the papers get hold of this, without having them lump you In with a bad lot like me." . He put his hand on my shoulder and gavo it a quick little shake. • *”Don’t aay that about yourself. You're not a bad lot.” "But—you saw the purse.” "Yes.

Mag, In the bright, bare little robm. with its electric lights, still in my white dress and big white hat, my pretty jacket fallen' on the floor bfeslde me! I could feel the sharp blue eyes ot that detective Morris feeding on my miserable face. But I could feel, too. a warmth like wine poured into me from that big fellow's voice. I put my hand up to him and he took IL « "If I’m innocent and can prove ft, Fred Obermuller. I'll get even with you for—for this.” “Do you want to do something for me now?” "Do I?” "Well. If you want to help me. don't sit there looking like the criminal ghost of tbe girl I know.” Ths blood rushed to my face. Nance Olden, a sniveling coward! Me. show­ ing the white feather—me, whimper­ ing like a whipped puppy—me—Nance Olden! “You know," I smiled up at him. "I never did enjoy getting caught.” "Hush! .But that's better. . . . Tell me now—” . A buzzer sounded. The blue-eyed detective got up and came over to me. "Chief's ready,” he said. "This way." 1 They stopped Obermuller at the •door. But he pushed past them. "I want to say just a word to you. •chief." he said. "You remember me. I'm Obermuller, of the Vaudeville. If you’ll send those fellows out and let me speak to you just a moment. I’ll leave you alone with Miss Olden?’ The chief nodded to the blue-eyed detective, and he and the other fellow went out and shut the door behind them. • “I want simply to cal! your atten­ tion to the absurdity and unreason­ ableness of this thing." Obermuller said, leaning up against the chief's desk, while he threw out his left hand with that big open gesture of his. “and to ask you to bear in infod, dc matter what appearances may he. that Miss Olden is the most talented girl on the stage to-day; that In a very short time she will be at the top; that just now she is not suffer­ ing for lack of money; that she’s not a hlgh-roHer, but a determined, hard­ working little grind, and that If she did feel Ilk* taking a plunge, she knows that she could get all she wants from m» even—’’ "Even If you can’t pay salaries when they're due. Obermuller.” The chief grinned under his white mus­ tache. “Even though the Trust is pushing me to the wall; going to such lengths that they're liable criminally as well as civilly, If I could only get my hands on proof of their* rascality. It's true I can’t pay salaries always when they're due, but I can still raisea few hundred to help a friend. And Miss Olden Is a friend of mine, if you can prove that she took this money, you prove only that she's gone mad. but you don’t—’’ "All right. Obermuller. You're not the lawyer for the defense. That’ll come later—If it does come. I’ll be Siad to bear in mind all you’ve said, and much that you haven’t” "Thank you.

You don't look like a girl that’s easily fright­ ened. 1. have heard how you danced in the lobby of the Manhattan, how you guyed him at your fiat, and were petting lunch and having a regular picnic of a time when—'’ "Whan he found that purse.” "Exactly.

He looked at me from un­ der his heavy, wrinkled old lids. "You don't.get nice eyes from lookfng on the nasty things In this world. Mag.” “Why," I cried, "what kind of a girl could cut up'like that when she wason the very edge of discovery?” "A yery stpart girl—an actress; a •-good one; a clever thief who's used to bluffing. Of course,” he added, softly. ’ "you won’t misunderstand me. I’m simply suggesting the different kinds of girl that could have done what you did But. if -you don't mind. I'll do the questioning. Nance Olden." he turned suddenly on me. his manner changed and threatening, ’’what has become of that |300?” “Mr. Chief, you know just as much . j about that as I do.” I threw up my head and looked him full In the face. It was over how— aU the shivering- and trembling and fearing. Nance Olden’s not a coward when she's fighting for her freedom; and fighting alone without any sym­ pathizing friend to weaken her. He returned the look with Interest. ."I may know,” he said, insinuat­ ingly. “Possibly." I shrugged my shoul.ders. No, it wasn’t* put on. There never yet was a man who'bullied me that dMnTroue? the fighter In me. I swore to myself that this old thief-catcher shouldn’t rattle me. .

Inclined to be lenient with you if you’d return the money. Doesn't it ow-ur—” , "It might occur to me if I had any­ thing to confess—about this purse." •'How long since you’ve seen Mrs. Edward Ramsay?" He rushed the question at me. I Jumped. ' "How do you know I’ve ever seen her?” "I do know you have.” "I don’t believe you.” “Thank you, neither do I believe you, which is more to the point. Come, answer tbe question: bow long is it since you have seen the lady?” I looked at him. And then I looked at my glove, and slowly pulled the fingers inside out. and then—then I giggled. Suddenly It came to me— that silly, little insane dodge of mine In the’bishop’s carriage that day; the girl who had lost her name; and tbe use all that affair might be to me if •ver— “1’11 tell you if you'll let me think a minute." I said, sweetly. "It—it mu ’, be all of 15 months.” "Ah! You see I did know that you've met the lady. If you’re wise you’ll draw deductions as to other things I know that you don't think I do. . . . And where did you se« her?” "In her own home." "Called there," he sneered, "alone?” "No,” I said, very gently. “I went there, to the best of my recollection, with the bishop—yes. it was the bish­ op, Bishop Van Wagenen.” "Indeed!"■ *„ _■ I could see that he didn't believe a word I was saying, which made me happily eager to tell him more. "Yes, we drove up to the square one afternoon In the bishop's carriage— the fat, plum-colored one. you knew. We had tea there—at leut, I did.

"That night at Mrs. Gated' it was dark, you know, in the front room. I didn’t see Mrs. Ramsay that night.

THE CUTTER OF TO-DAY The village council turned out.a good grist of business at its regular meeting Monday night. President Lentz and Councilman Shilling were absent and President pro-tern Zuscbnltt presided. . A petition from property owners along Sherman street asking that Charite Ackett keep off that street with his sprinkler wagon was referred to the street committee. The sidewalk committee presented a report which was accepted. Tbe re­ port represented that many new crosix walks be built this year and specified tbe location of same, and the comiplttee also went over-the village on a walk-inspection trip to determine who should build new walks. The re­ sult of tbelr inspection was also em­ bodied in their report, and those persona whom they decided needed new walks, and there were many, will be forthwith notified by tbe clerk. If all the crosswalks and new side­ walks ordered built are completed Ulis year it will give Nashville more miles of cement wbIks than any vil­ lage of the size io the state. The report also called attention- to the need of a grade being made along the cemetery grounds so that a ' walk can be built. The matters of keeping the alleys clean was again taken up and discuss­ ed, but nothing definite arrived at. A franchise was granted the Nash­ ville Gas and . Fuel Company to lay mains and construct and operate a f as plant in the village. The franebne appears In another part of this issue.

Kidney diseases Cause Half the Common Aches and Ills. As one weak link weakens a chain, so weak kidneys weaken lhe whole body and hasten the final breaking­ down. Over work, strains, colds and other causes injure the kidneys, and when their activity is lessened the whole body suffers from the excess of uric poison circulated In the blood. Aches and pains and languor and urinary ills come, and there is ever an increasing tendency towards dia­ betes and fatal Bright's diseue. There is no real help for the sufferer except kidney help. Doan's Kidney Pills act directly bn the kidneys and cure every kidney ill. Albert Coon, of 925 Page avenue, Jackson, Mich., blacksmith, employed at the Webster wagon works, says; “I bad for years weakness and heavy aching pain across the small of my back just aver the kidneys. I could not stoop to lift anything without getting sharp twinges in the- loins. I ooukl not rest comfortably at night, bnt rose in tbe morning tired and un­ rested. Latterly the kidney secretions became Affected, were highly colored and irregular in action. I heard about Doan's Kidney Pills and procured a box. They helped me from tbe very start, and one and a half boxes com­ pletely cured me.” For sale by all dealers. Price 50 cents. Foster Milburn Co., Buffalo, New York, sole agents for the United States.

Richard Townsend, who was taken sick while on a visit with relatives at Coats Grove, mention of which was made in last week’s News, was taken suddenly worse last Thursday. He ia recovering now, however, and ho pea to be out in a short time. His two Hons. E. B. and R. C., were at his bedside the latter part of the week. Mr. and Mrs. Walter Burd experi­ enced a rather exciting runaway last Sunday, south of town. They were driving along when it began to rain. An umbrella was raised, frightning the horse. He started on a run and soon dumped the occupants out, but fortunately not hurting them. The horse was slightly bruised and the buggy needed a few repairs, but fur­ ther than that no damage resulted. . Loton White was the victim of a peculiar accident while at work at C. A. Hicks' blacksmith shop Monday. He was shoeing a horse and was struck in the head by a piece dl steel from the anvil where Mr. Hicks waa working. The piece struck him in just the right spot to sever a vein and he bled profusely and went to the office of Dr. R. P. Comfort where the doctor stopped the flow of blood. He came out of it not. much the worse for the accident but beautifully besmeared with gore. The state of Michigan has six mil­ lion dollars in the treasury, and does ' not owe a dollar. One-half that amount is primary school money from the railroad taxes that have come in since the Washington decision, and practi­ cally all of those taxes are now paid, except those of the Pere Marquette, and these are likely to be receipted for before this paper can reach its read­ ers. There are very few states in the union, if any, in such admirable financial condition as the stile of Michigan. A large portion of this money will be put into circulation in the state by being loaned to banks. E. J. Feigbner has been in a very precarious condition at his home on the south side the past week resultant from a stroke of apoplexy. Monday just before noon he was silting in W. E. Bud's pool room when he sudden­ ly collapsed. Those who were near him realized what had happened and hastily summoned Dr. R. P. Comfort who administered restoratives and had him removed to his home. At present it seems that the stroke com­ pletely paralyzed his left side, ser­ iously affecting his speech also; how­ ever his condition is improving sinoe the shock and much hope is enter­ tained of his ultimate recovery, al­ though there is no doubt but he will have little use of the affected side. His many friends in the village hope to see him out soon. The school board held a meeting last Saturday and hired three teachers. This completes the list of teachers for the coming year with the exception of a teacher to act aa assistant in the primary department, which place has not yet been filled. Following is the list of teachers and the positions they will fill: Superintendent, T. U. Fuller, Hesperia; principal, J. Ford McBain, Hickory Corners: science. Roy S. Head. Milan, languages, Miss Jennie UpDyke, Reading; tnusic, Mrs. T. U. Fuller; eighth grade, Miss Alta John­ son, Lake Odessa; sixth and seventh grades, Miss Vesta Lewis; fourth and fifth grades, Miss Nina Chap pel; third and fourth grades, Miss Flora Boston; fl rat grade and kindergarten, Mias Josephine Buchanan. It was decided to separate the eighth grade from the high school, hence the extra teacher. At a special meeting of the common council Monday evening the amounts to be raised by taxation to liquidate the various funds of the village was fixed at 85,900, divided into the sev­ eral funds as follows: Incidental fund 82,750; water works fund, !l,75O. street fund, 81,400. The amount to be raised this year exceeds that of last year by 8400. The reason so much is raised for the incidental fund is because of an. indeotedness of 81,700. Another waterworks bond of 81,000 becomes due this year, which will also be paid with the interest. 8400. The building of so many new crosswalks tnaljea the amount to be raised in the street fund a little high, but the council look the stand that the walks were a necessity and might belter be ouiltnow than to let them remain in the condition they are at present. Wm. Howell wanted to buy a strip of alley near his blacksmith shop on North Main street, but the committee to whom the matter was left, reported adversiy- The appointment of O. M.

HAII Washington, May, 15.—A lengthy statement bearing on the rate bill In­ cident in the senate Saturday was is­ sued by the White House Monday eve­ ning. * Following ifi the correspondence In part. The presldent’sjetter: "My Dear Senator Allison: As Sen­ ator Tillman brought In your name in connection with mine In the statement he made concerning our relations to the rate bill, last Saturday, it is per­ haps-due to you that 1 should write you on the matter. After the rate bill was reported from the committee, and after by a vote of the committee Mr. Tillman had been put In charge of it, many, senators and many outsiders came to see me with reference to it. Among others 1 waa asked to see exBenator Chandler as representing Mr. Tillman, who was in charge of the bill. I stated in .response tnat I was, of course, entirely willing to see Mr Till­ man personally or to see Mr. Chand­ ler, or anyone elsa-who could speak for him, and I accordingly directed my secretary to make an appointment for Mr. Chandler to see me. My under­ standing was that he' was the repre­ sentative of Mr..Tillman. In this first interview he stated to me tbe views of Mr. Tillman, with seeming authority. He called on me several times. Dur­ ing the same period I saw other gen­ tlemen, who professed to give the views of other senators. In addition I saw numerous senators, both Republi­ cans and Democrats, some of them once or twice, some of them many times. I also saw numerous outsiders, railroad men, shippers, newspaper-men and students of traffic regulation, In­ cluding especially the attorney general and thb members of the interstate com­ merce commission, and on two occas­ ions I saw groups of newspaper men In a mass. To all of these, senators, representatives of senators, and out­ siders alike, I macle the same state­ ments; those that I made to Mr. Chandler being the same In substance that 1 made to youTand to .those of ypur colleagues of both political par­ ties with whom I had any extended conferences on thb subject. The letter ot the attorney general, which I en­ close, "qhows fully the facts as to ttia conferences which, at my instance, he held with Senators Tillman and Ballley. Those conferences were precisely auch as. at my Instance, he held with many other senators to determine the phraseology and discuss the effect of amendments proposed by them. Hepburn Bill Covers AIL "To all whom I saw I stated that the Hepburn bill was In its essence entire­ ly satisfactory to me. The Hepburn bill as it passed the house simply rec­ ognized the right of review by tho courts—that Is, the jurisdiction of the courts—but did not attempt to define it. thus leaving the courts to prescribe the limits ol their own jurisdiction. This was in accordance with the ideas of the attorney general, his belief be­ ing that thereby we avoided all danger of the bill being declared unconstitu­ tional because of the attempt to con­ fer either too much or too little juris­ diction on the courts. “I also repeatedly stated that while It was entirely satisfactory to me sim­ ply to leave the Hepburn bill in sub­ stance as It was, that Is with the rec­ ognition of the jurisdiction of ths courts, but without any attempt to de­ fine that jurisdiction, yet that I was entirely willing that there should be n definition, provided that this definition did not seek to grant a broad review, but- explicitly narrowed it to the two subjects which, as a master of fact. I believed that the courts would alone consider in case there was no attempt to define the limits of their review; that Is, would limit it to the question the commission had actand as to whether any constitutional rights had been Impaired. I stated that If the question of defining or limiting the review was brought up at all I personally felt that this was the way In which it should be limited or defined. Not P’edged to Amendments, "At different times at least a score of tentative amendments were either prepared by the attorney general at the request of senators or submitted to me by senators. As to many of those amendments (including among others the substance of the so-called Long, Overman, Bacon and Spooner.amend­ ments) I stated that I should be en­ tirely satisfied to have them in the bill; as to others, I suggested modifi­ es tiohs which would make them satis­ factory; as to none did I ever say, either to Mr. Chandler or to anyone else, that I should insist upon having them in toe bill as a condition of my approving it. Ou the contrary, I was always most careful to state that I was not trying to dictate any partic­ ular programme of action. In no ca»% either in the case of Mr. Chandler or In the case of anyone else, was there the slightest opportunity for any hon­ est misionceptlon of my attitude or any belief that I had pledged myself j specifically to out and only one amend- of swho on LAID TO DRUG IREN that there ed, or who at least .witshed to change it. and 1 finally became convinced that it was impossible tor s?tatiMX with advantage to use me as the intermedi­ ary in coming to an agreement with their colleagues, especially when they only communicated with me through another Intermediary, and I earnest­ ly suggested to all • to whom I spoke that they should communicate with you, whose purposes and mine were, Identical. About this time Iwas in­ formed by various Democratic sena­ tors that they could not come to an agreement upon any amendment and that the best chance for success lay in passing-the Hepburn bill substantial-. ly unchanged. I was informed and believed that this was Senator Bailey's view; and anumber of tne Republican senators who favored the bill ex­ pressed the same opinion. Shortly after this you. In company w..h Sena­ tor Cullom called upon., me with the amendment which is now commonly known as the Allison amendment. 1 told you that while I .should prefer the. Long and Overman amendments, yet that your amendment was entirely sat­ isfactory. Yuor amendment does not in the slightest degree weaken or in­ jure the Hepburn bill. It merely'ex­ presses what the friends have -always asserted was implied, by the terms of the bill. I may add, that my- own opinion that your amendment in no way changed, whether by diminishing or enlarging, the scope of the court re­ view as provided in the original Hep­ burn bill, Is also the opinion of the attorney general, of Mr. Root and of Mr. Taft. Thelf judgment is that the amendment rfierely avoids the criti­ cism that the Hepburn bill would be constitutionally Invalid in not express­ ly providing the court review which Its supporters have always contended was plainly implied In the original language. "The original Hepburn bill stated that the venue for certain actions was in certain courtsp the amendment states that these courts shall have jurisdiction to- consider such actions. To my mind it seems difficult to as­ sert that this works any change what­ ever In the principle of the bill." From the Attorney General. The attorney general's letter to the president: "My-Dear Mr. President: I send, at your request, an account of the con­ ference which 1 had by your direction with Senators Tillman and Bailey upon the subject of the courr review feature of the pending rate legislation. ’’On April 14, you told me that Sena­ tors Tillman and Bailey had com­ municated with you through a third person, informing you that they were willing to support an amendment to the Hepburn bill, which while ex­ pressly conferring jurisdiction upon the courts to review tne nedon of the commission, should limit, the review to the two questions of the authority of the commission and the constitu­ tionality of its action, and include a provision*forbidding the issuance of interlocutory injunction. You told me that they were not willing to confer directly, with you. but would meet me. The conference was arranged by Sena­ tor Chandler and occurred on April 15 ■ "1 Informed the gentlemen of my belief that you desired, ii the scope of tbe court of review were to be ex­ pressed in the law at all Uat it should be limited to the two subjects here­ inbefore named: that In1 such case the so-called Long amendment was accept­ able to your that you -would be clad to see a rigid limitation on the Issuar.-e of Interlocutory injunction; if such limitations were possible: and I stated further that 1 would not assume to agree to any form of language what­ ever' for you, but would submit any proposed amendment to you for your consideration. I also stated my doubt whether in any event it would be pos­ sible to enact a provision entirely for­ bidding .interlocutory Injunctions. I found myuelf in entire accord with Senator Bailey as to the rules of con­ stitutional law applicable to the situ­ ation. with the exception of those re­ lating to the power of congress to for­ bid all interlocutory injunctions, upon which I did not offer any final opinion only saying that Mr. Bailey's argu­ ment needed an answer. An attempt was then made to accept phraseology which would effect the intention of the two senators. I made sotne notes upon this branch of the subject and at the close of the Interview said to Senator Bailey that I would put my understanding of their clews upon tne question of phraseology in writing, send it to him, and, if it met with his approval, submit it to you."

Chicago, May 14.—After a third day of important disclosures of the meth­ ods of the Standard Oil company, its tricks of the trade and the favors it has been shown by different railroads, the Chicago session of the Interstate commerce comruisalon closed Saturday afternoon at tour o’clock. The day’s developments before the adjournment were of fylly startling a nature as those of toe other days of the Chicago hearing. Gov. Deneen was brought into' tbe Investigation when Attorney Monnett cited a refusal to extradite Indicted Standard Oil officials as an example that a sort of immunity exists tor the officials of the oil cor­ poration. F. S. Hibbs, the "lamp expert," as Attorney F.

In response to questions from the attorney he declared that A-ank Bush, former assistant manager of the Pe­ oria district tor the Standard Oil com­ pany, was his instructor, and that he taught other employes the same tricks. Mr. Hibbs said he was with the Stand­ ard for 13 years, but is now connected with an independent company. Mr. Hibbs said: “Teating” Oil of Rivals. "In testing the oil of a rival com­ pany we used a new chimney and the magnesia in the glass, makes the chimney cloudy. For our own oil we use an did chimney. Then we always have our wick perfectly dried out and not too Jong—just so it will reach the bottom of the oil bowl. We rub a mois­ tened finger tip across the wick of our rival, and. after it has burned a little time the damp spot is reached and the light grows dim and there is a splut­ tering. t *’ln the meantime our light is burn­ ing brightly. We also trim our wlcjcs so as to make a thin flame, and the wick of the rival is trimmed so it will make a thick flame. ' "The thicker the flame the yellower the light Our thin flame always gives a clear white light. "We often bend down the lower part of the burner, which lets air in under the chimney and causes the lamp to smoke. Sometimes we fill up some of the Ventilating holes around the burn­ er with wet flour or chewing gum. . "I only resorted to these tricks when a competitor was sidling oil in a town and I wanted to get rid of him." Independent Oil Better. The witness named five towns *>a Il­ linois where he useu these deceptions to convince consumers that the oil of the rival company was of an inferior quality. ' He said that, as a matter of fact, the quality of ol! of all the com­ peting companies was better than that of the Standard Oil company. In reply to questions, the witness said he worked for the Standard Oil company 13 years, starting as a laborer and finally becoming a salesman. He said he received his training in the tricks of the trade at the Peoria of­ fices of the Standard Oil company. He is at present employed by the People’s Oil company, of Springfield, Ill., a competitor of the Standard. He said that recently at Aurora he met a Standard Oil companj agent who cut the price ‘two cents a gallon on lubricating oil in an attempt to take away his customers. *’I held my customers without cut­ ting the price,” said the witness with a smile. “Do the Standard Oil company’s agents still practice the tactics you have referred to in meeting competi­ tion?" asked Attorney Monnett.. Resorts to Bribery. "Yes. they are doing it to-day,” re­ plied the witness. "They pay rebates, bribe people, cut the price, and sub­ stitute an inferior quality of oil, and. In fact, do anything necessary to get business and put the competitor out of The witness then described an in­ genious scheme which he worked in a number of cities since becoming an employe of an independent company to annoy the Standard Oil company.

The parties defendant specifically named in the bill have voluntarily combined together to control the prices at which proprietary medicines and drugs shall be sold to the consumer through the retail druggists in viola­ tion of the Bhermah anti-trust law. The parties to the combination in­ clude the Proprietary Associations of America, the Natlodal Wholesale Druggists' association and the Na­ tional Association of Retail Druggists, the direct contract proprietors and Its agents, members and officers." Combine to Fix Prices. The bill charges In substance that these associations, their officers, dele­ gates and members, are all engaged In a common undertaking, to-wlt. the business of manufacturing, buying and selling of patent medicines and drugs and proprietary articles throughout the United States. That these associ­ ations nn<V<he members thereof have entered into a conspiracy to arbitrari­ ly fix and regulate the price at which such articles shall be sold to the con­ sumer, and that they have established rules and regulations to enforce such an unlawful agreement by restricting the purchase and sale of such com­ modities to those members of the sev­ eral associations who shall live up to and observe the rules and regulations thus arbitrarily prescribed by the re­ spective associations. ' Picks Its Customers. “There is but one ultimate object of the conspiracy, viz., to fix the price which shall be observed by all retail druggists in selling to,the customer the various commodities manufactured by the several members of the propri­ etary association. The plan by which such object is offered is in brief as follows: No retail druggist can ob­ tain goods from a wholesale druggist or a manufacturer of a proprietary medicine unless such retail druggist becomes a member of the National Association of Retail Druggists, and In order to become such member he must agree to observe the established price at which speh proprietary medi­ cines shall be sold to the consumer. Penalty for Disobedience. "If such retail druggist, after becom­ ing a member of the National Associ­ ation of Retail Druggists, cuts prices in the sale of such articles to the con­ sumer, he is Immediately placed upon the list of what is known ns ‘Aggres­ sive cutters,' and thereafter such re­ tail druggist Is unable Jo obtain from any manufacturer who Is a member of the Proprietary association; or from any other wholesale druggist who Is a member of the Wholesale Druggists* association, any of the commodities which may be manufactured and sold by -them or any of them.” Assassination Rumor Denied.

The death of Byron Barnum, a for­ mer resident of this village, mention of whose illness was made itr The News a couple of tveeks ago, occurred at Detroit Thursday, May 3. where he had been taken for treatment. He went to Detroit to be operated on for appendicitis, but was later taken with typhoid fever which caused his death. Mr. Barnum was born in Wood­ land township and lived in Nashville until about ten years ago, when he bought a farm in Sebewa township, Ionia county. Last fall he moved to Grand Ledge, where be Las since re­ sided. He leaves a wife and two brothers, Henry of Detroit and Albert of Lake Odessa. The family have many friends here who will deeply regret his early de­ mise. A YOUNG WOMAN’S WITTICISM. John La J’arge, the painter, was talking in his New York studio about witty women. “Let me relates young woman's witticism that I beard the ether day," he said. There was a man who loved a maid and she re­ turned hie passion; but there were reasons that made secrecy desirable, and thus, though the two were be­ trothed, they pretended to the world that they were good friends and noth­ ing more. One evening, as the young man was pressing bis sweetheart to his breast, her sister entered tbe room suddenly. Tbe lovers drew apart with great haste, and the sister, with an ‘excuse me,’ turned to go. But the young man deemed an explanation necessary. Ho said, ‘Don't go. We have just been measuring to see which is the taller.’ The intruder, standing by the door, looked at the lovers in­ tently. Then a delicate smile fluted over her preUy face and she said, ‘You are about the same height, but I think sister Is much the redder.’ ’’ NEW SOCIETY OFFICERS. Last Friday evening E. D.

Slowly a light of recognition came into the pale blue eyes of the man at the desk and he smiled faintly and uncom­ fortably as his visitor wrung his band. “I remember you. Mr. Cloomer,” he said. "Just to think of it!" the old man went on, delightedly.’ “What will moth­ er say when I go back and tell her I've seen little Johnny Valentine, who used to sneak around by the osage hedges an’ into her kitchin bakin' days for the hunk o: hot gingerbread?

Refund Railroad Taxes. Attorney General Bird has yielded to the point made by the Lake Shore railroad In relation to .the interest on the taxes for 1902. When the Detroit school bftard succeeded In having a new rate for railroad. taxation estab­ lished, there was delay in giving no­ tice to the railroads. It has been held that interest tor that year should be computed from April 1, 1903, on the amount of taxes first assessed, but only from June 1 on the increase that resulted. Some of the railroads paid the full amount the auditor general charged In his computation of Interm­ ent. but they probably can get the Ug' taiattire to pay back. This will amount . to several thousand dollars. Will Cali Convention to Order.

Resolutions were passed favoring the enactment of a law to take the place of the one passed by the last legislature and declared unconstitutional. Superintendent E. C. Warriner of Saginaw recommended that juvenile court be given exclusive jurisdiction Ih juvenile cases and that county agents be paid a salary and be required to give their entire time to the office, having entire custody of juvenile offenders. Superintendent W. D. Sterling of _ Lansing was elected president of the association; Superin­ tendent Everett of Mt. Clemens, vice president, and Superintendent Long­ man of Otsego, secretary-treasurer. I ■ -------Date Set for Court Hearing.

McLeod, commissioner of labor for the state of Michigan, has completed his annual report for the year 1906. which contains among other Interesting matter a review of tne pa­ per industry of the Wolverine state. The report shows that Michigan has 31 paper and pulp mills in operation and ranks fifth among the states of tho union in the extent of this industry. The aggregate amount of capital In­ vested in all plants Is $6,819.695. and the total value of all paper manufac­ tured In 1905 was 18.233,961.12, an in­ crease over 1903 of 12,021,986, or over 32 per cent. The number of hands employed was .3,614 and the aggregate annuel capacity In tons of paper manu­ factured, 263,630. Candidates’ Petitions Ftled. W. N. Ferris of Big Rapids will again be candidate for the nomination for governor on the Democratic ticket. Hls petition was filed" and was. signed by 758 Democrats. Charles H Ktmmerle, of Cass county, who has been as persistently talked of for the honor ot heading the ticket will be the running mate of Mr. Ferris.

Kelley for the nomination for lieutenant governor has already been filed. Coming Military Maneuvers. The state military' department has not been Informed that congress has passed the bill to provide for the ma­ neuvers of national guard troops with the details of the regular army. It has received an Inquiry, however, asking what course the department would pur­ sue In case the measure does pass. It would be the plafi of the military board to send the entire brigade *f the appropriation is sufficient. There may be a special meeting of the military board to recommend a date for the ma­ neuvers. State Bank Incorporates. The old Corunna State bank, capita! 130,000. has filed articles of incorpora­ tion with Banking Commissioner Moore. The bank was originally a na­ tional bank, but has recently been conducted as a private institution. Put Wheat Condition at 78.

The supreme court recently ordered a recount in the mayoralty contest at Marquette, where Rush Culver has as­ sumed the office of mayor, which Wal­ ter T. Ward also claims. The council named Michael Shea as tbe head'of its recount committee, and It is alleged that be was a participant in the elec­ tion frauds, if there were such frauds. Another order has cow been made by the supreme court, on Ward's peti­ tion, directing the council to appoint acme one in Shea's place or show cause. General News of the Capital. . Tbe state has received 849,364 for the fund for the support of the Soldiers* home at Grand Rapids, as the govern­ ment's semi-annual allowance. TroeFle has arisen at Hartford over the use of the basement of tbe new school building for school purposes. Secretary Shumway, of the state board of health, will send T. 8. Ainge, sanitary expert, to Hartford to mnks an examination of the building and de­ termine whether it may be used for school purposes. Title Buyers Low. The supreme court baa upheld the decision of former Circuit Judge Shep­ ard in the ease of Meagher vs. Dumas, and In so doing has given a body blow to many- tax-rtlle speculators who have purchased abandoned lands throughout Dumas and hls wife were an aged couple, who owned a house and two lots in Bay City, on which they had been unable to pay taxes for many years. The property whs was uniuuru Included iu in inc iiiojivriy । abandoned lands deeded - -by the - auditor •• to tbe state general• These lands were sold a year ago last December. Meagher bought the Du­ mas homestead and then brought suit to obtain possession. Judge -Shepardheld that, as the* Dumases were In ac­ tual possession of the home, an error had been made In describing It, as "abandoned lands.” The supreme court sustains him. Sudden Summons. The annual banquet of the Society I of Colonial Wars came to a tragic end in the Detroit V1MW club on Tuesday evbnfog by the death of the strong charac' ter •— who *--■* —- — — had -*■ shown so plainly •in •« the earlier evening that he appreciated the honor conferred on him, hls selec­ tion as governor, tbe highest office In tbe organisation. The tragic feature stunned the thirty .friends and mem­ bers who had spent such a pleasant evening under the glow of the red and white lights on the banquet table. "First allow mb to express my ac­ knowledgment of this honor in being chosen as your governor. ".Mr. Angell has referred to the wars of the colonies. We are ‘The Society of Colonial Wars.* "History is full of wars. Every page of its records Is. stained with blood. There have been wars of ambition and avarice; but. there have been wars, tbe smoke of whose battles has gone up as Incense to heaven." As he spoke the word "Heaven" Al­ fred Russell, aged 75 years. Detroit's honored and brilliant lawyer, raised hls left hand to its utmost hlght In emphasis. He suddenly stopped in tbe speech, staggered and fell. Dangerous Prisoner. Tbe motion for a change of venue In the trial of John Blake for the mur­ der of Patrolman Brooks, of Jackson, has been refused by Judge Parkinson. It is the opinion of the officers that Blake would not hesitate to kill a man .who stood between him and free­ dom If be bad any chance to get away. It is feared some of Blake's pale will come to hls rescue, and for this reason there are armed guards on every aide. Blake was left In a room adjoining the court room, with two attorneys, F. C. Badglcy and T. E. Barkworth. It is said the prisoner sized up the two, one not large and the other with only one band, then he walked over to the window. To hls surprise Officer Palmer stood just outside, well armed, and closely watching the window. Blake's smile was somewhat ghastly as he quickly turned away. Cooked the Fireman. Edward Walker, aged 28, unmar­ ried, was scalded to death and Andrew Wilson badly scalded by the blowing out of a flue of tho boiler of the Aetna Cement plant in Fenton Tuesday night. Walker was a fireman and was standing directly in front of the boiler when the flue blew out and received the full force. His body was so badly scalded that his hair all came off and his finger nails dropped off, wnile his face was literally cooked. He lingered in gseat agony until 4 o'clock next morning. Hls home is at Linden. WU ion will recover, but will be confined to his bed for several weeks. The Aetna cement plant employs 60 men and has been In operation night and day. Tbe plant Is closed down dur­ ing repairs to the boilers. The proper­ ty damage is very small. Brutal Murder of a Baby. While suffering from delirium tre­ mens, Bragin! Giacomo, an Italian miner at Iron Mountain, entered the home of Enrice Montonatto, another miner. Mrs. Montonatto sat nursing her four-months-old child. Giacomo asked to hold the child and, when re­ fused, he seized the little one and pounded its brains out against the wall of the room, then threw the baby on the floor and jumped on it. The fiend then attacked Mrs. Montonatto. Just then her busband came to her rescue. Giacomo fled, 'pursued by a crowd of excited people. He was arrested after a desperate fight, in which several persons were injured. People, mad with rage, threaten to demolish the jail and lynch the prisoner. Giacomo is 28 and single. • Mad Dog Stunts. . Until officers made a four-mile trip from Battle Creek, Bedford farmers sat on fences, on limbs of trees, or on other high points and watched a “yaller'* dog work off hydrophobia stunts. The local officers arrived with a shot­ gun and ended the matinee. The pup had bitten a cow. chewed another ca­ nine, and chased Frank James, a farm­ er, across bis back acre at a field day dip. Crops Damaged. The peach and sweet cherry crops will be found to have been seriously damaged by the continued cold weath­ er of the past week, says Prof. S. W. Fletcher, of the Agricultural college. Those trees are now In blossom and are very susceptible to Injury. It is also said that pears have been dam­ aged. though generally the pear and apple blossoms have not yet appear­ ed. of every kind, and for your fields of growing crops, is what you want, and what you have a right to expect, when you buy fence.

In the evenings I stood about In the wings and watched the Van Twlller company In Brambles. There was one 1at role in it that I just ached for, but 1 lost all that ache and found another, when 1 overheard two of the women talking about Obermuller and me .one night.. ' “He found her and made her,** one of 'em sold; “just dug her out of the ground.

Not altogether alone—he bad bis bot­ tle. And he bad had it and others of the same family all the night before. The poor drunken wretch hadn’t been borne at all. He was worse than he’d been that morning three days before, when I had Stood facing him and talking to him. while with my hands behind my back I was taking a wax Impression of the lock of the.desk; and he as unconscious of it all as Tauslg himself. , The last page I had dictated the day before, wifleh he'd been transcribing from his .notes, lay In front of him; the gas was still burning directly above him. and a shade he wore over bis weak eyes had been knocked awry as his p<<or old bald bead went bumping down on the type-writer before him. \ The thing that favored me was iTausig’B distrust of everybody con­ nected with him. He hates his part­ ners only a bk less than he bates the «nen outside the trust The bigger and richer the syndicate grows, the more power and prosperity It has, the more he begrudges them their share a< it; the more he wants it all for 'himself. He is madly suspicious of his clerks, and hires others to watch them, ;to spy upon them. He is continually moving his valuables from place to , place, partly because be trusts no 'tnan. partly because he's so deathly afraid his right band will find out Wbat his left is doing. He is a full partner of Braun and Lowentbal—with mental reservations He has no con­ science In either of them. Half his wchemes be keeps from them; the other trust deviltry; a thing that our Unde Hammy just won't stand for. ’ And neither will Nancy Olden, Miss Monahan. She grabbed that precious- paper with a gasp of delight and closed the deak. But she bungled a bit there, for Mason lifted bl« head and bHnked daxedly at her for a moment, recog­ nized her and ebook hte bead. “No—work to-day,” be said. "No—I know- I’ll just look over what we’ve done, Mr. Mason,’’ she an­ swered, cheerfully. His poor head went down again with a bob, and sBe taught Up the type­ written sheets of Obermuller’s play. She waited a minute longer; half be­ cause she wanted to make sure Mason was asleep again before she tone the sheets across and crammed them down into the waste basket; half because she pitied the Old feHow and was sorry to take advantage of his condition. But she knew a cure’ for this last sorry— a way she'd help him later; and when she danced out into the ball she was the very happiest burglar In a world chock full of opportunities. Oh, she was in such a twitter as she did It! All that old delight in do­ ing somebody else up. a vague some­ body whose meanness she didn't know, was as nothing to 'the joy of doing Tauslg up. She was dancing on a vol­ cano again, that incorrigible Nance! Oh, but such a volcano, Maggie! It was nothing doing; do excitement, no risk, nothing to keep a girl interested and alive. derful volcano, that one. that last one, for it worked both ways. It paid up for what I haven't done this past year and what 1'11 never do again in the years to come. It made up to -me for all I’ve missed and all I’m going to miss.' It was a reward of demerit for not being respectable, and a preventive of further sins. Oh, it was such a vol­ cano as never was. It was a drink and a blue ribbon in one. It was a bangup end and a bully beginning. It It was Tauslg coming in as I was rx>lng out. Suddenly I realized that, but I was in such a mad whirl of ex­ citement that I almost ran over the little fellow before I could stop myself. “Phew! What.a whirlwind you are!” he cried. "Where are you going?" “Oh, good morning. Mr. Tauslg.” I said, sweetly. “I never dreamed you’d be down so early in Jhe morning." “W.tat’re you doing with the paper?" he demanded, suspiciously. My eye followed hia I could have beaten Nancy Olden in that minute for not having sense enough to hide that precious agreement. Instead of carry­ ing it rolleu up in her hand. . "Just taking it home to go over it,” I said, carelessly, trying to pass him. But ne barred my way. “Where’s Mason?" be asked. “Poor Mason!” I said. “He's—he's asleep.” “Drunk again?" I nodded. How to get away! 'That settles bis bash. Out he goes today. ... It seems to me you’re in a deuce of a hurry," he added, as 1 tried to get out again. “Come in; I want to talk something over with you.” . "Not this morning." I said, sauelly. I wanted to cry. “I’ve got an engage­ ment to lunch, and I want to go over this stuff for Mason before one.” “Hm! An engagement. Who with,' now?" My chin shot up In the air. He laughed, that cold, noiseless little laugh of his. "But suppose I want you to cor?e to lunch with me?” "Oh, thank you. Mr. Tauslg. But how could I break my engagement with—” x ' “With Braun*" “How did you guess it?” I laughed. •There’s no keeping anything from you. ’ He was immensely satisfied with bls little self. “I know him—that old rascal,” he said, slowly. "I say. Olden, just do break that engagement with Braun.” "I oughtn't—really.” “But do—eh? Finish your work here and we ll go off together, uv two. at 12:30, and leave him cooling his heels here when he comes.” He rubbed his hands gleefully. "But I’m not dressed." "You’ll do for me." "But not for me. Listen: let me burry home now and I’ll throw Braun over and be back here to meet you at 12:30." He pursed up htfi thin little lips and shook his head. ~ But I slipped past blm in that minute and got out into the aver afraid that the syndicate of which he’s the head will fall to pieces and become another syndicate of which ho Won’t be head.

When Michigan established her first asylum for the Insane. In 1859. her state prison at Jackson had been In existence 20 years; and the second prison, located at Ionia, was only established In the same year that saw the second asylum founded, at Pon­ tiac. 1877. The demand for the vic­ tims of mental derangement outran that for.the victims of moral derange­ ment. And the Institution at Ionia was perhaps not so much demanded for Increased accommodation, as for classification—for separation of those young in crime from those more hard­ ened; and so the law provided for a place of confinement for persons un­ der first conviction of crimes below treason and murder, and those sen.teheed for misdemeanors for not leas than six months. The institution was called the Michigan reformatory, and it shelters at the present time about 540 Inmates, of less average age. less experience in crime, and supposed greatner amenability to reformatory influences, than those of the other prisons. Want Encampment in August. August 5 to 15 will be suggested tc the war department as the time when it .would be most convenient for the Michigan national guard to go Intc camp with a portion of the regular army at Indianapolis.

With the excep­ tion of a few of the smaller roads, the delinquent and current taxes of the railroads have now been paid. Buy and Slaughter Rejected Animate. Meat Inspector Jacob L. Waltz, -of the Detroit board of health, told the council ordinance committee Wednes­ day afternoon that "Detroit is the dumping place for ■ live stock, meat and" poultry that butchers throughout the state have rejected. This is be cause the butchers in smaller places understand their business, whereas the persons conducting meat market* In t'hls city as a rule are not practical butchers," he said. The inspector 'wanted the committee to recommend that the council amend the board of health ordinances so as to give meat Inspectors power to destroy undesir­ able live stock, and all other bad meat, poultry and fish that may be found - anywhere. "Dealers attempt to sell old and in­ fected cartie thut are so emaciated that mauy of them can scarcely stand," he continued. "There are scores of immature calves, diseased swine and sheep marketed In Detroit every tfeek. ' "Detroit hasn't a quarter of the tadlitles possessed by other cities tor protecting the people. I condemn many animals every week and de­ stroy much meat, but there is a great deal used that would be destroyed 11 there were a sufficient npmber of in­ spectors to do the work thoroughly.” Thursday morning by 4 o’clock there were 1,200 cattle, 1,100 sheep, 900 swine and 800 calves In the Michl-, gan Central stock yards near Dix avenue, just west of the city limits. In one Stall, containing 30 calves, inspector Waltz condemned ten bo-' cause they wore only between one and three weeks old, and one be.causc j it was diseased. Few stalls were I passed without the necessity of con­ demning calves for the same reasons. The Inspector clipped bunches of hair fr^m the backs of the calves, as a warning to buyers that they were I condemned. There were some so young they could scarcely stand. Entering a sheep pen. the Inspectoi quickly singled out tyro sheep whlcn, apparently because of blindness through old age. had been unable to locate their food regularly and were too emaciated to live many more days. The Inspector gently placed them In separate pens after blue penciling them as a mark that they were unfitFrom one stall to another the inspec­ tor hurried until about 50 animals bad been rejected. At 7 a. m. he said he was about onequarter through with his Inspection. In the meantime many cattle .were being driven from the stock yards to the abattoir, which had not been In­ spected. Among these cattle were a few that were very old, with appar­ ently nothing but the hides covering their ribs, but these were rare and the rest of the cattle showed evidence of having been properly stall fed.

The glass coffin In which Tamagno. the great singer, was burled recently was not the first which has inclosed a curious character. There was a miserly Sir Thomas Brancroft, who in old London days heaped up greet riches. Even when his time came to die he could not bring himself to give his property away, and so he left his estate to be Improved until he should rise again, wfclch he ex­ pected shortly to do. He had a window built in his coffin, movable from the interior, and windows and a glazed door to his tomb and ordered that at frequent Intervals these should be opened and himself Inspected by the trustees. But the latter had had enough of lhe man. They built alms­ houses with his estate.

Don’t Mistake The Cause of Your Troubles. The Price you ought to pay for Clothes The price one pays for clothing is more often a matter of habit and custom than a question of what one can* afford. Some try to buy. cheap clothes rather than good clothes. It’s poor economy. . We have knee pant suite to retail as low as 11.50 and young men's clothes to sell as low as »5. Go lower than that and you get stuff that is worthless, no matter who makes or sells it. Our clothing is honestly made and we want to advise you rightly. Therefore don’t pay less than SI 50 for a boy’s suit, more if possible. Don’t pay less than *6 or *8 for a young man’s .garment. At these price* we can and do guarantee every garment we have i* free from imperfections to materials -and workmanship. You’ll get more satisfaction, be happier^ make a better appearance and save more money in the end if you buy this way. And we challenge competition at any price.

Scarcely one-third of the amount necessary has as yet been removed.

Fletcher, and they presented a very neat appearance in their uniforms. The procession was led by the band, who rendered excellent music,,and the schools were out in full force, adding greatly to the occasion. The exercises at the cemetery were very appropriate and impressive.

DIRECTORS 01 PENNSYLVANIA TO PROBE CHARGES OF GRAFT ANIjFAVOBITlSM. Charge That ^uaineau of- Independent deal Company Was Killed by Or­ der of Latter Causes Astonishment In Financial Circles. Philadelphia, May 28.—"Our investi­ gation will be most thorough and ex­ haustive.. if we And during ou,r In­ quiry that officials of thia company have been ^ixilty of the charges brought out At the Interstate com­ merce commission Investigation they will be remUVfd from the service of the company." . , This statement, made in response to an Inquiry as to the scope .of the probe now under way by the directors of the Pennsylvania railroad .as a result of the disclosures of graft, discrimina­ tion and favoritism among officials of that company, embodies the tenor and temjier of the director-inquisitors. Enin Charged to Cassatt. Nothing has astonished railroad and financial circles and the public more than has the direct charge made on the witness stand by F. Albert Von Boyenburk, general manager of the Reaklrk Brothers Coal company, an independent concern of this city, that he believes President A. J. Cassatt. of the Pennsylvania, Issued the orders that ruined him financially and killed his business. This is the first time the president Of the. biggest railroad system in the country, which Is now undergoing an inquisition at the nunds of the federal government, has been assailed. In the high and low places of finance the question now comes: “What will happen to Cassatt? Will the com­ pany’s probe committee Stand him up if these charges are true?” The five members of this committee are C. Stuart Patterson, chairman; William H. Barnes, James McCrea, T. De Witt Cuyier and Effingham B. Mor­ ris. Question at Veracity. Morris referred to the committee’s Statement above when asked if Cassatt was to be Included. In this probing. Von Boyenburk Is a man of unques­ tioned veracity In the business world,, and it is this fact that gives his charges stamina In the public mind. February 14, when the probe was In Its infancy, Cassatt gave out this Statement: “There Is no discrimination either in the rates or car distribution, or In the use of any other facilities of the railroad, between miners and shippers over the Pennsylvania lines.” Vice President John B. Thayer, May 5, said: "There Is, so far as I know, no discrimination of any kind on the Pennsylvania railroad; the com­ pany has absolutely nothing to con­ ceal.” • ’ Stories Are Contradicted. In direct contradiction to both these disclaimers have come the testimony of reliable witnesses. General Super­ intendent G. W. Creighton, of the Pennsylvania, testified: “At & confer­ ence In January. 1903, between Gen­ eral Manager Atterbury, Generpl Su­ perintendent of Transportation Trump and myself it was decided to select 30 or 40 coal shippers on the railroad who alone should be given .fare for the following six weeks.’’ George W. Clark, car distributor, testified: "Some days those special car orders might be only 15 per cent, of the cars, but sometimes they were very heavy. In February, 1005, the special consignment to one ^concern equaled 500 cars of 25 tons capacity a day, Including their private cars.’’ PRESIDENT CASTRO QUITS.

Now—” "But tbe-lunchoon was to be*at 12:30,” I laughed. “And 1 haven't changed my drees yet.” "You’ll change it all right for some­ thing not so becoming if you don’t shell out that paper." . “Paper?” ■"Yes. paper. Look here. If you give it back to me this minute—now—I'll not prosecute you for—for—’’ "For the sake of my reputation?” 1 suggested, softly. “Yes.” He looked doubtfully at me, mistrusting the amiable deference of my manner. "That would be awfully good of yott,” I murmured. He did not answer, but watched me as thc*ugh he wasn't sure which way I’d Jump the next moment "1 wonder what could induce you to be so forgiving,” 1 went on. musingly. •'What sort of paper is this you miss? It must be valuable^—” "Yes, it’s valuable all right Come.on, now! Quit your fooling and get down to business. I’m going to have that pa­ per.” “Do you know, Mr. Tauslg." I said, impulsively, “If I were you. .and any­ body had stolen a valuable paper from me; I’d have him arrested. I would. I should not care a rap what tbe public exposure did to his reputation,.so long —so long." 1 grinned right up at him. “so long as it didn’t hurt me. myself. In H 777 Mad? Oh. he was hopping! A Ger­ man swearword burst from him. I don't know what it meant, but l ean imagine. "Look here. I give you one more chance,” he squeaked; “if you don’t—” "What’ll you do?" I was sure I had him. I was sure, from the very whisper in which he had spoken, that the last thing in the world he wanted was to have that agreement OH. HE WAS HOPPING I made public by my arrest. But I tripped up on one thing. 1 didn’t know there was a middle way for a man with money. . His manner changed. “Nance Olden,” he* said aloud now, “I charge you with stealing a valuable private paper of mine from my desk. Here, sergeant!" I hadn't particularly noticed the sergeant standing at the other door with bis back to us. But from the way he came at Tausig’s call I knew he’d had a private talk with him, and 1 knew he’d found the middle way. "This girl’s taken a paper of mine. I want her searched,” Tauslg cried. "Do you mean," I said, "that you’ll sign your name to such a charge against apology, but you can hardly expect me to go to lunch after this.” * He growled a wrathful, resenting mouthful. But he looked a bit puzzled just the same. He looked more puzzled yet, even bewildered, when we came back into the main office a quarter of an hour later, the woman and I, and she re­ ported that no paper of any klnd had she found. Me? Oh, I was sweet amiability per­ sonified with the woman and with the sergeant, who-began to •. back water furiously. But w»th Tauslg— What? You don’t mean to say you’re not on. Mag? Oh. ‘dear, dear, it's well you had that beautiful wig of red hair that puts even Carter’s In thfe shade; for you’d never have been a success in—in other businesses I might name. Bsmtxjozled the woman? Not a bit of -It; you can’t deceive women with mouths and eyes like that. It was just thaj.I'd had a flash of genius in the minute I beard Tausig’s voice, and in spite of my being so sure he wouldn’t have me arrested I'd— Guess, Mag. guess! There was only one way. Tho baby, of course! In the mo­ ment I hao—It wasn't long—I'd stooped down, pretending to kiss that cherub good-oy, and in a Jiffy I'd pinned that, precious paper with a safety pin to the baby’s under petticoat, preferring Risk! I snould say Lt was. And now it v»as up to Nance to make -good. While Tauslg Insisted and explained and expostulated and at last walked out with the sergeant—giving me a queer Ijwt look that was half-cursing, half-p?acatlng—I stood chatting sweet­ ly with the woman who had searched me. I didn't know Just how far I might go with her. She knew the paper wasn’t on me, and I could see she was disposed to believe I was aa nice as she’d have liked me to be.- But she’d had a lot of experience and she knew, as most women do even without expe­ rience. that if there’s not always fire where there Is smoke, It's because somebody's been elever enough and quick enough to cover tbe blaze. “Well, good-by.” I said, putting out my band. "It’s been disagreeable, but I’m obliged to you for—why, where’s my purse! We must have left It—" And I turned to go back Into the room here I'd undressed. "You didn’t have any." The words camo clear and cold and positive. Her tone was Ilk* an Icicle down my back. "I didn’t have any!” I exclaimed. "Why. I certainly—" "You certainly had no purse, for I should have seen It and searched it If you had.” Now. what do you think of a woman like that? "Nancy Olden.” I raid to myself, more in sorrow than In anger, "you’ve met your match right here. When a woman knows a fact and states it with such quiet conviction, without the least unnecessary emphasis and not a super­ fluous word, ‘ware thart woman. There's only one game to play to let you bang round here a bit longer and find out what's become of tbe baby. Play it!” I looked at her with respect; It was both real and feigned. •Of course, you must be right," I said, humbly. “I know you wouldn't be likely to make a mistake, but. Just to convince me, do you mind letting me go back to look?” "Not at all,” she said, placidly. "If I go with you there’s no reason why you should not look.” Oh, Mag. It was hard lines looking. Why?—Why, because the place was so bare and so small. There were so few things to move and it took such a short time, in spite of all I could do and pretend Ao do. that I was in despair. “You must be right." I said at length, looking woefully up at her. "Yes; I knew I was," she said, stead­ ily. “I must have lost Lt” Mag.

It was ‘found.’, in checking up the peti­ tions signed by the Democrats -of the Thirteenth senatorial district, that a sufficient number of qualified electors of the party had not (signed.-them. and. •there will be no referendum for the Democrats .on the primary law In that district. The Fifth senatorial district Republicans filed barely enoiigh peti­ tions to submit the primary election proposition. By checking up the peti­ tions with the enrollment book it is discovered that a considerable number of voters who were not enrolled have signed submission petitions. » Nine-Bays' Camp for Militia. By approving the recommendation of the state military board Gov. War­ ner definitely settled the matter of this year’s encampment of ihe Michigan national guard. The entire organisa­ tion will be taken to Indianapolis for a nine-days* camp, beginning August 5. There will be seven full days In camp, one day being spent en’route each way. The Michigan troops will be in camp with deraciumrat of-the regular army. The. transportation of the entire brig­ ade will cost the government $19,090. This will leave the state about $6G.OpO to.pay for subsistence, per diem dnd other expenses. This is less thaq the ordinary state camp costs, that sum being about $S0,6off.

The state supreme court, which has be»n behind in its work many years, and for which relief was provided in the election of three additional judges, is now practically .up with its work. The statement should be qualified by saying that opinions are still to be rendered in a great many cases heard during the last and previous terms, but an important fact and one that is ap­ preciated by the lawyers all over the State is that the court was able to hear every case on the April docket, so that none was carried over for the June term. The June docket has just been prepared and it contains 113 • cases.

THE METHOD'OF flUD GRAFTING. i । I Budding: (I) Cutting out the scion: (2) sep-1 nratlng from the bark; (3) ready for In- i Mkjtlon. Budifmg the stock: (4) ready for the bud; <5> bud inserted; (C) budding completed, knife is given a downward slope, sc that a slight twist will loosen and raise the corners of the bark, permit­ ting the entrance of the bud. In cutting the bud the knife if place about five-eighths of an Inch be­ low the bud. and a cut is made whim will pass upward and beneath It, tak­ ing a shaving of the wood, to a point three-fourths of an Inch above the bud. For most fruits, except the cherry it will be found best to remove the wood from the bud. leaving only thf bark. To do this, make a cross-cut one-half inch above the bud, taking pains to cut through the bark without cutting In the wood.. Then by tak­ ing hold of the leaf-stalk and giving a slight twist, the bark will sepa­ rate. leaving the wood attached to the bud-stick as shown at 2. In the case of a few varieties g! pears, as well as the cherry, the re­ moval of the wood injures the bud nnd then the cross-cut should be dee; enough to pass through the wood be-1 neatb the bark. If the bark on'the stock was in propor condition, and the cuts have been properly made, there will be no diffi­ culty 1£ Inserting the bud and push­ ing It well down Into place. If necesenfy, the corners of the bark may be lifted with the point of the knife blade or the end of the knife handle. For tying the bark down upon the bud., raffia Is most commonly used, although many prefer common cotton twine. Care should be taken not to cover the bud, and the bark should be securely bound in p’ace. In 4. 5 and 6 the last steps are illustrated. SPRAYING THE APPLE. Bordeaux Mixture or Copper Sulphate Solution Necessary to Fight Pests. -The apple is the most Important fruit grown In the United States. It is assailed by ,many insects and fun­ gous enemies, most of which can be controlled by spraying. Before the buds start, it Is well to spray with strong Bordeaux mixture or with cop­ per sulphate solution. The Bordeaux mixture Is best. This is made by com­ bining ftve pounds copper sulphate, five pounds fresh lime unslacked, 50 gal-. Ions of water. This is considered safe Cheerfulness.

Cow peas are among the most interesting farm plants that we have. .This was until quite re­ cently considered a plant adapted to the United States south of the.

They make a good crop for plowing under when the .soil Is defl­ dent In humus and needs some green They have, a large leafy top. must choose, however, the variety suited for bls -purpose. If he Intends to plow them under he must use a non-running variety, as the long vines of the running varieties cannot be easily plowed under, for obvious reasons. The Vow pea makes a good hay. but must be cut early or the leaves will fall off. As a hny crop It Is being displaced by the soy bean. South of central Illinois cow peas may be grown much more successfully than north of that point, where the frosts come early. To those wishing to go into the details of cow pea growing, the Farmers' Review suggests the sending to your state experiment sta­ tion for their literature on the grow­ ing of cow peas In your state. Every state has Its peculiar conditions and the use that can be made of the cow pea tn one state is not the same as the use that can be made of It In another state. PORTABLE FENCE.

Oh. yes. I knew I was more than a year behind the times when I got them, but a -sucbessful actress wears what she pleases, and the rest of the world wears what pleases her, too. Besides, fashions don't mean so much to you when your husband tells -you how becoming—but this has nothing to do with the bishop. Yes. the bishop. Mag! I had Just said, "Nance Olden—" To myself I still speak to me as Nancy Olden; it’s good for me, Mag; keeps me humble and forever grateful that I’m so happy.

The principal object of. this invention is to provide a simple and sub­ stantial structure by means of which bundles can be tightly-compressed and securely tied with ease and rapidity, doing away with the necessity of the workman stooping on the ground and tying the bundle. In using the structure the frame is placed on edge against the shock of corn, then the shock is pulled down and tipped upon the frame.. The operator then takes his position upon the sea*, the twine is in a can underneath and comes up and is fastened, jn a slot and is always ready. Enough is drawn forward for a bundle. The strap is then thrown over the bundle, foot is placed in the stirrup, snugly compressing the bundle. It is then tied and twine cut. /The bundle is thrown off, strap goes back to its place, the twine is placed in slot and it is ready to repeat the operation. • By this mode he can husk one-fourth more corn, save one-third of the twine and do it with ease. It is intended for tying cbm for the shredder and half the expense can be saved compared to having a lot of men and driving from field, and corn and fodder are in better shape. Farm rights and instructions will be mailed to any one on receipt of one dollar or a machine will be shipped on receipt of four dollars. Reference as to reliability, The Farmers & Merchants Bank, Nash­ ville, Michigan. . . Quite a aerious wreck occurred oq. the.M.-C. at Hastings Sunday when No. 105, west bound passenger train, ran into an oped switch and crashed into a freight train which was stand' iug on the siding. Tbe engine of the passenger train struck a large box car tilled with staves and hoop* and the speed of the train was -uch that the car warf reduced to splinters and staves aud heading were scattered in every" direction. The engineer and fireman, setting the air brakes would not work, jumped to save their lives | and both were considerably bruised, j the engineer receiving a broken ankle : and tbe fireman cute about tbe hands and face. Tile tool car from Jackson I and a wrecking crew from Detroit were soon at the scene and with the section men along tbe line had the wreck cleaned up Monday. The en­ gine of No. 105 was made a complete wreck by the impact. DAMASCUS THE UNTOUCHED The Oriental City Called by Arabs a “Pearl Encircled by . Emeralds.” Most travelers. 1 think, will award to Damascus In Syria the palm of be­ ing one of the most “untouched'' of oriental cities, writes William G» Fitz­ Gerald. In Four-Track News, a lovelyancient snow-white garden, surround­ ed by forests of pomegranates and other orchards such us caused the Arabs, a thousand years ago, to’ speak of it as a "pearl encircled by emer­ alds." Time has stood still In Damas­ cus for a thousand years and life goes on In the country outside its walls pre­ cisely as It did when the ancient Bible historian spoke of the city in the Book of Genesis. For there, plowing Is done with a crooked boufeh drawn by a rag­ ged camel; or by the Arab farmer's wife in double harness with a’ donkey. There, too; and likewise within the walls, one sees the long lines of in­ dolent eastern women drawing waler from the well, just as Rachel did; or women sitting before the doors of their houses grinding corn in the old Bible way. with upper and nether stones.

JEWELERS LOSE VAST SUMS Women of Fashion in London Order‘ Gems and Husbands Re­ fuse to “ "Milliners and costumers, though a favorite mark for the dishonest woman of fashion, are by no means the only sufferers," said a West End Jewelor yesterday. “1 use the term 'dishonest' advisedly, for it is surely nothing short of dishonesty for a woman to order things in the hope that her hus­ band will settle the bill, though she has been warned not to incur the ex­ pense. We jewelers, on quite a modest computation, must lose between 000 a year In London alone In unpaid bills. "One woman this winter, after or­ dering bangles, rings and a jeweled muff chain to the value of over MOO, told us to send the bill to her husband. He wrote telling u«. he had forbidden his wife to pledge bis credit nearly a year ago, and formally declined to settle the bill. We have not been able to get either obr money or our goods.” A Bond street jeweler said: "I have thousands of .dollars' worth of book debts which I will sail you for 3 cent on the dollar. "There is nothing to prevent a mar­ ried woman from ordering an article worth $2,500 and never paying 8 pen­ ny. We cannot get the jewelry re­ turned either. On the whole. I have come to the conclusion that the woman of society Is not so honest as we would wish her to be." Of all departments of the city (Manchester. England) the one, next to the tramways, of which a stranger sees the most is the police. And In the conduct ot the police department, writes Samuel Merwin. In Success Mag­ azine. we find a striking comparison witi^ 6ur American notion of police work. In Manchester, as in London, the policeman is always the servant of the public. As in London, he car­ ries neither club nor revolver. His duties are very nearly the same as those of a New York officer; it Is In his.method of doing his'work that the striking difference lies. He is always quiet, always neat, always respectful, even deferential. In his treatment of the public. Such overbearing manners as we sometimes see In New York po­ licemen would not be tolerqted in Man­ chester—or in London, (or that matter. Graft in tbe police department is al­ most unheard of.

The taking of scalps has been spok­ en of so commonly in the press of the United States that it has become a general practice when speaking of a man having lost bis life among the In­ dians. to say: "He lost his scalp." Novelists even of to-day. when Ipcat-, Ing their stories in Apacheland, almost invariably scalp the victims of Apache vengeance. As a matter ot fact, writes The Mercenary View. E. S.

Except for the saloons being closed, no one would'have known there was an election in town Tuesday. Very, little interest was manifested In the new primary law, there being in the Hrst precinct of Castleton- township but 97 votes cast in all, of which 72 were republican, 14 democrat, and one lone prohi. The republican vote on nomination of governor was W arner (55, and for lieutenant governor Kelly (50, there being no votes for any other candidates, while the entire 14 demo­ crat votes were for Ferris for gov­ ernor. The republican - vote on the question of adopting the direct nomi­ nation system for nominating candi­ dates for governor -and lieutenant Rovernor was 61 yes and 11 no. For s adoption in the 15th senatorial district, 59 yes and. 9 no. For the legislature, 57 yes-arid 10 no. For the direct nomination of county officers, 55 yes and 14 no. The democrats voted on the proposition to nominate governor and lieutenant governor by direct vote, and the fourteen votes polled were all in favor-of it. At the Morgan .precinct, No. 2, there were but 17 votes cast, of which 10 were republican, 4 prohibition and 3 democratic. Practically all voted in favor of the new system, although what expressions of opinion were heard about the polling place were by no means enthusiastic as to its merits. The republicans of the township elected fifteen delegates to the county convention to be held at Hastings next Monday, as follows: C. L. Glas­ gow, C. W. Smith. H. A. Offley, L. E. Slout, E- M. Everts, Von W. Furniss, D. R. McLeay, J. E. Lake. W. N. De­ Vine, George Austin, H. H. Perkins, E. V. Smith, H. D. Wotrlng. D. E. Erb and A. A. Reid. Frank McDcrby was lied with Mr. Reid, but lost in drawing*out. The democrats elected seven dele­ gates to their county convention, to be held at Hastings Tuesday, as fol­ lows: H_. C. *Glasner, Henry Roe. Ward Quick, J. B. Marshall, Sam Palmer, Wesly Shaffer and John Var­ ney. At the Nashville precinct the names of 101 candidates were voted for as delegates. Had there been a full vole out the election board would have been counting yet. In Maple Grove there were 39 votes polled, 22 of which were republican and 17 democratic. Practically all voted in favor ot the new law. The republicans elected a& delegates to the county convention A. O. Bivens, Lee Bailey, Will L. Gibson, J. R. McKee, David L. Marshall andGeorge O. Dean, while thcy-dUmocrals named John Hinkley, Adam Wolf, Marlin R. Mead, Fred Fuller and Harry Mason. charged with arson. Sheriff Furniss, came to Nashville last Thursday afternoon and arrested J. B. Mix, familiarly known as "Bake," on a charge of arson. It will be remempered that a short time ago the house and barn on a place owned by Mjx, north and east of Nashville, were burned one night. The bouse and barn were both insured in the Barry & Eaton company, the house for <500. the barn for M00, personal, <400. It is.said by those who were on the ground that i>oth buildings burned -al tl.e same time, but that intervening buildings were not injured, which would indicate that the fire did not communicate from one to the other. The farm on which the burned build­ ings stood was one which1 was formerly owned by Richard Elliston, later by John Heckathorn, w.ho sold the blace to Mix recently. Sheriff Furnlss took Mix to Hastings, where he ap­ peared before Justice Chauncey Bishop on Friday and gave bonds In the sum of <2.000 to appear next Monday for examination. Mix Is represented by Attorney W. W. Potter. Mix was arrested again yesterday by Duputy Sheriff ‘Apoelman, on com­ plaint of Bert Polmalier, who claims that Mix made threats against him and asks that he be put under bonds to keep the peace. He was taken be­ fore Justice McLeay and gave bonds for his appearance next Monday for a hearing. THE SEMI-ANNUAL CONVENTION. Of Barry County Bands Will Be Held in Hastings, June 19th.

Dick.-’ she said after a moment ■Don't you? Well. I’m afraid I had better not try to explain myself." She understood him perfectly, and she was glad to think she did. but It was quite necessary that he should ex­ plain himself. During the past months her natural gladness had been doubled by the thought that soon he would tell her the story she knew, yet longed to hear. Now,.she was assailed by a doubt lest he would never speak. She was aware that he was worth no more than a couple of hundred a year, and she fancied that kept him silent. They finished tea. and as she but­ toned her right glove she said quietly: "It's time you were back at the office, Dick." ’ \ "I suppose It Is.” he-returned. Out In the street again they found that the fog had fallen densely, veiling the city in darkness. Lady Lightheart made a little face. "So much for my shopping.” Then she began to laugh. "There'* a beautiful big smut on your hose, Dick.” she said. This would have been disconcerting to any lover, but to the verse-maker, with bis two hundred a year and hope­ lessness. it was almost brutal.

He looked at her so miserably that she was touched. "I'm a pig." she said, sweetly and penitently, "fm afraid I'm not of a sympathetic nature, Dick." "Ah! you don't know, Dolly," he sighed dismally. "You don't know what It means for a fellow to give'up his heart's desire." "Have you done that?" she asked, easily. "I’m going to do it.” "It can’t be your real heart’s desire, if you’re going to give It up. I believe when you give it up. you'll find It was nothing, after all." “Dotty!” "Have I been rude?

GOOD SHELL MATERIAL. Where Production of Eggs Is Large Much Lime Must Be Pro­ vided. A great many of our people forget that the modern hen produces several times as many eggs as the ancient hen tb&t was the progenitor of tne one we now have. That hen laid 30 or 40 eggs a year and had no trou­ ble to find the lime In the natural food. But It lb a very different mat­ ter when a domestic fowl must pro­ duce good shell material out of her food for two hundred eggs during the year. The modern hen probably eats no more lime in her food; therefore the farmer that does not provide im­ portant supplies of lime will have trouble with his flock. The eggs will have thin shells, and there will many soft shelled, eggs which will lx> a temptation to the poultry to begin egg eating.

Perhaps in the bishop's set husbands are not uncommon, or very likely they don't know what.a busband like FTjd OberiL-ulIer means. . . "I congratulate you, my child, or— "Why, I’d n,ever seen Fred Obermuller then," I cried. "Can't you tell a difference, bishop?" 1 pleaded. "Don't I look like a—an imposing married woman now? Don't 1 seem a bit—oh. just a bit nicer?" His eyes twinkled as he bent to look more closely at me. “You. look—you look, my little girl, exactly like the pretty, big-eyed, wheedling-voiced child I wished to have for my own daughter.” t I caught his hand in both of mine.* "Now, that's like my own. own bishop!" I cried. Mag—Mag, he was blushing like a boy. a prim, rather scared little school­ boy that somehow, yet—oh. 1 knew he must feel kindly to me! I felt’ so fond of him . "You see. Bishop Van Wagenen," I began softly, "l' never had a father and—" “Bless mfe! But yotl told me that day you had mistaken me for—for him." .

It's no light thing to got accustomed to telling the trifth. You ARMS FULL OF BUNDLES. never know where it'll lead you. Here was 1—Just a clever little lie or two and the dear old bishop would be hap­ py and contented again. But no; that fatal habit that I've acquired of tell­ ing the truth to Fred and you mastered me—and I fell. "You know, bishop,’’ I said, shutting xny eyes and speaking fast to get it over—as I Imagine you must. Mag, when you confess to Father Bhelan— "that was all a—a little farce-comedy —the whole business—ail of it—everys last wgrd of It!" "A comedy!" I opened my eyes to laugh at him; he was so bewildered. "I mean a—a fib; In- fact, many of them. I—I was Just—it was long ago —and I bad to make you believe—" His .soft old eyes looked at me unbe­ lieving. "You don't mean to say you deliberately lied!" Now. that was what I did mean— just what 1 did mean—but not iq that tone of voice. But what could I do? I just looked at him and nodded. Oh, Maggie I felt so little and so nasty! I haven’t felt llkq that since I lejt the Cruelly. And I'm not nasty. Maggie, and I'm Fred Obermullcr's And that put a backbone in me again. Fred Obermuller's wife Just won’t let- anybody think worse of her than she can help—from sheer l<»;e and pride in that. big. clever husband of hers. • "Now, look here. Bishop Van Wag­ enen," 1 broke out, "If I were the abandoned little wretch your eyes ac­ cuse me of being I wouldn't be In your carriage confessing to you this blessed minute when it'd be so much easier not to. Surely—surely, In your ex­ perience you must have met girls that go wrong—and then go right for ever . and ever. amen., And I'm very right now. But—but it has been hard for me at times. And at those times— ah, you must know how sincerely I mean it—at those times I used to try to recall the sound of your voice. wh«n you said you'd like to take me home with you and khep me. If I had been your daughter you’d have had a heart full of loving care for me. And yet, if I had' been, and had known that benevolent fatherhood, I should need it leas—so much less than I did the day I'begged a prayer from you. . . .* But—It’s all right now. You don’t know—do you?—I*m Nance Olden." That made him sit up and stare, I tall you. Even the bishop had heard of Nancy Olden. But suddenly, unac­ countably. there came a queer, sad look "Tell me___ “You evidently forget that you have already told me- you are the wife of Mr.—Mr. Ober—” "Obermuller. Oh. that's al’ right." I laughed aloud. I was so relieved. “Of course I am. and he's my manager, and my..playwright, and my secretary, end—my—my dear, dear boy.

"Forgive. me. my dear. I am Indeed glad to know that you are living happily. I have often thought of you—” "Oh, h^ve you?" "Yes—I have even told Mr*- Van Wagenen about you and how 1 was attracted to you and believed—ahem!" "Oh—oh, have you!". I gave a wrig­ gle as I remembered that Maltese lace Maria wanted'and that I—ugh! But, luckily, he didn't notice. He had taken my hand and was looking at me over his spectacles In. his dear, fatherly old way. "Tell ma now. my dear, is there any­ thing that an old clergyman can do for you? . 1 have an engagement near here and we may not meet again. I can't hope to find you in my carriage many more times. You are happy— you are living worthily, child? Pardon me. but tbe stage—" Oh, tbe gentle courtesy of his man­ ner! I loved his solicitude. Fatherhungry girls like us. Maggie, know bow to value a thing like that. "You know,” I said, slowly, “the thing that-keeps a woman straight and a man falthWil is not a matter of bricks* and mortar nor ways of thinking nor habits of living, it's' something finer and stronger than these. It’s tbe magic taboo of her love for him and bls for her that makes them—sacred. With that to guard them—why—” , "Yes. yes." he patted my hand soft­ ly. "Still, the ol<« see the dangers of an environment that a young and im­ pulsive woman like you. my dear, might be blind to. Your associates—" "My associates? Oh, you've heard about Beryl Blackburn. .

She doesn't pretend to be better than she is. And. Jbst between you and me, bishop, I've more respect for a girl of that kind than for Grace Weston, whose husband is my leading man. you know. Why, she pulls the wool over his eyes and makes him the laughing­ stock of the company.- I can't stand her any more than I can Mario Avon, who’s never without two string—” All at once I stopped. But wasn't it like me to spoil It all bj bubbling over? I tell* you. Maggie, too much truth isn't good fos the bishop's set; they don't know now to digest IL I was afraid that I'd lost him, for he spokfe with a stately little primness as the carriage Just then came to a etop; I bad been so Interested talking that I hadn't noticed where we were driving. "Ah, here we are!” he said. "1 must ask you to excuse mo. Miss—ah. Mrs. I —that Is—there's a public meeting of the .Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children this afternoon that 1 must attend. Good-by, then—" # "Gh. are you bound for the Cruelty, too?" I asked. “Why, so am I. And The Cruelty stands Just where it did. Mag, when you and I first saw it; most things do in Philadelphia, you know. There’s the same prim, official straight up-and-downness about the brick front. Tbe steps don't look so steep now and the building's not so hlgij, perhaps be­ cause <ff a skyscraper or two that’ve gone up since. But it chills your blood, Maggie dartin'. Just as it always did, to think what it stands for. Not man's Inhumanity to man, but women's cruelty to children! Maggie, think of it, if you can, as though thife were the first time you'd heard of such a thing! Would you believe it? • I waked from that to find myself marchltfg up tho stairs behind the bish­ op's rigid little back. Oh. it was stiff and uncompromising! Beryl Black­ bury did that for me.

TWO lensing— Ffrc insurance rate* are discussed by Insurance Commissioner Barry* in the text cf iris annual fire report.• The coniml’nlouer says: "The year 1905 was one of unusual prosper­ ity for the fire Insurance companies trammeling b'jsiness in this slats, With scarcely an exception the states throughout the union contributed to this result. Low loss ratios per ceht., the lowest in its history, esauibuted -her full Share 46 the favorable experi­ ence of' the companies. As the result of this favorable experience and the competition due to the constantly in■ creasing number of companies bidding for business, material reductions in ’ rates have been made witbib the past six months. After a careful investi­ gation and' study of thia question I am satisled that the property owners of Michigan are enjoying as favorable premium rates, considering the nature and condition of the risks Involved; as are the people of any other state In the union. The utter absurdity of the contention so frequently made, that the business of the-companies should be conducted on a system which pro­ vided for the collection of simple suffi­ cient rates to pay current lossei and expenses, or which rated a community or a state on Its own experience alone, is conclusively shown by the San Francisco conflagration. Had - the Are underwriters been so criminally reck­ less as to conduct their business along these lines. San Francisco could never recover from this disaster and the col­ lapse of scores of Are insurance com­ panies would have destroyed the foun­ dations upon which -reet the commer­ cial enterprise of this country and thus have precipitated a general panic. In the light of the experience- of the past two years it should no longer be foolfshly contended by anyone that the conflagration hazard is not an ever present menace. The underwriter who fails to take cognizance of this haz­ ard wholly unfitted for bis task." Date for Supreme Court Hearings. The supreme court set Juue 14 as the date to take up (he issue that has been joined between Auditor Geenral Bradley and regents of the University of Michigan relative to the expendi­ tures cf President Angell and others in traveling outside of the state. At­ torney Henry M. Campbell of Detroit has tiled a brief for the regents. In which he contends that the board of regents is a constitutional body, is not accountable to the legislature or any of the state’s accounting officers, and that they are alone judges of what ex­ penditures should be made. The at­ torney general’s department is prepar­ ing a brief.ln which the opposite posi­ tion will be taken. The action is by mandamus, the regents asking the court to direct the allowance by the audtior general of certain vouchers for traveling expenses from which he has withheld approval. The broad ques­ tion of the regents’ exclusive control <ff university funds is at issue. At the same time will be heard the Delray land case relative to the right of .the state tax commission to make a hori­ zontal Locat or assessments. Complain ef Assessments. . . | The state tax commission will prob­ ably be very busy In tbe near, future,' complaints* from taxpayers as to the assessments In various counties are coming in rapidly. Though the various •county boards of review did not com­ plete their‘wdrk .until June 1 nine com­ plaints asking the tax commission to ,rTT-„ rpT,t._ the assessments __ ,____- - ... .investigate in as many .counties have already been received. Probably the -most interesting com­ plaint is that from Bcasenier, Gogebic county, where several large iron mines are located. City Attorney Rice and -Superintendents Green and I^iegvlel ask the commissioners to come there and investigate Jhelr assessments. The tickers say that the Tilden mine, be­ long! ag to the'steel trust, was raised from $584,000 to $1,400,000 in 1900, when the tax commission reviewed'.the asscH^taent at that place, but since then (lie local authorities'have dropped the realty assessment of this mine to $275,006; while the personal assessment has been r dropped from $309,000 to $2io,oo<(. The Palms mine, belonging to the Schlesinger syndicate, of Mil­ waukee, has been dropped from $75,000 in 1900 on real estate to $12,000. The personal assessment on this mine, so the complaint says, has been dropped from $70,000 in 1900 -to $4,500 In 1906. All this drop is in the face of a distinct boom in the iron business. The tax commission decided to go to the upper peninmla, where they will probably investigate this complaint, and they also will visit the other iron districts in that jiart of the state. Liberty in Hands of People. In .his Memorial day address at Lansing Justice Charles A. Blair, of the supreme court, paid an eloquent trib­ ute to Michigan men who went, to the front In ’61. Then he.urged that young people ahould-.be reminded by the dp- that there are certain essen­ tial principle# of the rights of citizens which tnust be maintained at any cost. He added that an oligarchy of pluto­ crats might attempt Ihsiduoualy to do what an oligarchy of slaveholders at­ tempted to do by violence. "I have no fears for the future," said Justice Blair, "because I have-unlimited faith tn the courage, intelligence and pa­ triotism of our people, but I think it would be unwise to rest tn fancied se­ curity upon the belief that our. liber­ ties are safe for all time. Let us de­ precate querulous fault-finding and in­ discriminate muck-raking; let us ac­ cord honor to our public servants who in the main, are wise and patriotic, but let us ntK forget that this is a gov­ ernment of the people, and that when the master ceases to supervise his’ af­ fairs, the servants may become care­ less and even unfaithful." Plan Changes in Athletics. Faculty representatives from the col­ leges forming the Michigan Intercol­ legiate Athletic association have held a conference and adopted resolutions for reform tn football and other ath­ letics. In many ways they follow me plans of (he "Big Nine" universities and art quite radical in nature. The conference favored the abolition of the paid lootball and baseball coach and the training table, which has Injected the free board graft Into athletics. The conference would have fewer football contests and would bring the season to a close on the Saturday before Thanks­ giving day. Baseball players would not be allowed to enter college In the spring simply for that purpose. Presi­ dent J. L. Snyder, of the M. A. C., pre­ sided at the conference, and Prof. Mitchell of Alma was secretary. The resolutions will be submitted to the di­ rectors of the'athletic association at a meeting at Lansing, but it is said that the faculties are inclined to insist on the measure of reform set forth in the resolutions, despite the attitude of the student bohrd. Course in Library Science. \ It is the intention of the state board of library commissioners to place a short course of library science in the summer schools which are to lie held In the normal f college, Ypsilanti, and the normal schools at Marquette Mount Pleasant and Kalamazoo.

THE ART OF SAVING md re The following, which appeared in the Detroit Free Press, this morning, will be read with deep regret by .many people in the village, where the de­ ceased was rcareu to manhood, and where the family have many friends: "Turning from a letter from bis son that breathed forth joy and hap­ piness, John Messimer, 76 Twentyfit's! street, with trembling hands, yes­ terday afternoon opened a telegram that told him of the death of his 19year-old boy, Chester Messimer, a private in field battery 10, of the reg­ ular army, at Fort Snelling, Minn. The announcement of her son’s sud­ den death was made to Mrs. Esther Messimer while siie was at the eastern High school graduation exercises. The festivities were at their height, when thia woman’s happiness was plunged to deepest grief. Trying to suppress her sobs, she tottered away from the scene of brilliancy, closely followed by her son and daughter. As yet no particulars have been re­ ceived of Chester ‘Messimer's death. Only yesterday, a letter was received from him in which he said that be wm well and happy. Members of the family have no doubt but that he wm either shot accidentally or met with some accident that resulted In death. The following telegram received from Lieut.- Margetts, conveys the only information: “Chester Messimer died in camp yesterday. Will be bur­ ied wild- military honors in Post cemetery unless you desire remains shipped your expense. Wire reply. De­ tails In letter follow." Mr. Messimer Immediately wired back to ship the remains to NMhville, Mich., the old family home, where thev will be interred. Four years ago the Messimer fam­ ily moved to Detroit from NMhville. Chester was a student at the Detroit Business university, from which he Kaduated. A business life bad no scinaiion for him, however. His heart was in the army and he pleaded with bls parents until he was allowed to enlist Just two years ago he went to Fort Snelling, on the out­ skirts of St. Paul, and he has been stationed there ever since. Besides lhe mother and father, the young man is survived by a sister and brother, Maggie and Harry Mes­ simer, both students of the Western high school.” constantly adding to it until you every facility of State Savings Bank Nashville, Mich At the republican county convention, held at Hastings Monday, Senator Glasgow of this place was elected a delegate to the state convention and H.

We chanc§d to overhear a patron of one of our rural free delivery routes finding a little fault on the street the other day because the rural carriers were not compelled to do sev­ eral things which are madlfestly un­ reasonable and in fact impossible. Among-other things, he thought they ought to be required to bring the mall to the door of every house, instead o leaving it in a box at the roadside That would necessity about double the number of carriers now employed. He also made the statement that he be­ lieved most of the rural routes were self-sustaining, or nearly so, and that the statement of the department that rural free delivery caused a heavy deficit to the department was all "hot air". Just to show how much super­ heated atmosphere there is about it, a brief statement of the Nashville post­ office business for tbe p&et year will showy The total receipts of the office, for the year ended March 31st, in­ cluding receipts from sale of stamps, stamped envelopes and paper, box rents, newspaper postage, registration fees, all of the receipts of tbe five rural routes included, amounted to 13,1*71.15. During the same twelve months the department paid out in salaries to the five carriers the sum of 83,594. This left 8307.15 to pay tbe other .running expenses of the post­ office. The total actual receipts from all of the five routes out of NMhville would not pay the salary of one carrier, and the NMhville routes are better patronized than the average rural routes, at that, so that criticism Of that sort, from a man who lives seven miles In tbe country, and who hu his daily newspaper and his other mall delivered at bis gate every morn­ ing by the most liberal government on earth, at actually no expense to hlmself except providing a proper receptacle for it, comes with very poor grace. �JACK THE GIANT KILLER.

Firing was heard at mid­ night on the outskirts of Bialystok, near the: cemetery, but no further disorders have occurred. The total figures of the casuaXles are not avail­ able, but 70 bodies were burled Mon­ day. This is claimed to be less than half tbe total of the killed. Jewish estimates say that not. less 200 were killed. The number of wounded is enormous. Surgeons have arrived . here from Warsaw to assist the over­ worked staffs of ths hospitals In car­ ing for the injured. A few Instances of the exceasea were the bestiality and brutality with which the victims of the massacre were treated. Some of the corpacs were masses of pulped flesh, tbe wounded in some casts having scarce­ ly a sound bone In their bodies. The members of the commission of lhe lower house of parliament who are here to inquire Into the massacreare greeted os sawiors by the popu­ lation, who flock out of their houses with pathetic Joy and relief. As the coirmisstoners pass through the b streets, the people call down bless­ " Ings on their heads and give them ac­ counts of their sufferings. The com­ mandant of the troops has furnished the eommlssionerB with an escort and has promised them every facility in conducting their Investigation. 290 Corpses Counted. Odessa. June 19.—The Novosti, of this city, published a dispatch 'Mon­ day from Its correspondent at Bialy­ stok 'which shows that the Jews fell by hundreds In the two days of riot and massacre last week. The - dispatch says: “I personally counted 290 Jewish corpses, a great number I S r of Which were horribly mutilated. Only ' ■lx Christians were killed and eight wounded.” Censor Shuts Off News. St. Petersburg. June 19.—No fr»nh nevs has been received here from Bialystok and none of the newspa­ pers can get a word directly from their correspondents there. * ■pondent who should have arrived there from St. Petersburg Sunday morning has not been heard from. Nothing has been received here from the parliamentary commission •ent to Bialystok to Inquire Into and report upon the massacre qf Jews. It Is evident that the authorities will not allow, any dispatches to be sent from the terror-stricken town, which fact is regarded as ample proof of the horror of the situation. Troops Supported Rioters. The last telegram known to have been received here reached M. Ostrogorski, a memtier of tbe lower house of parliament from Grodno. It was as follows: ‘The Jewish outrage at Bialystok was produced by provocation. The police participated In it, and thetroops actively supported the rioters. The military authorities now have full control. The governor geiieral has left the city. Persons who tried, to leave Bialystok were killed*at the railroad station and others who suc­ ceeded in reaching the open fields out­ side the town were run down by dra­ goons.

Nashville by C L. GLASGOW 1H WHAT .4S A GOOD ROAD? Discurai&s^by Edward K. Parkin­ son, and Comment by Edito?» Country Gentleman. The best roads that have ever been built were those constructed by the Romans ten or fifteen centurles'-ago, and which are to-day almost perfect examples of what roads should be. Their roads had a width of 30 feet, and pavements of heavy stone at the bottom, and often one or more layers of stone bedded In cement to make the road waterproof. The two cuts show the best types of ancient Roman roads. It has been argued that such roade would cost too much to build in these days of high wages. To be sure, the initial cost would be enormously greater, but-the final cost would, on the other hand, be much less. Some of the Roman roads are 1.600 years old, and are still in fair - con­ dition. I will say.’ for the sake of argument, that a modern macadam road will last 20 yearn without hav­ ing to be extensively repaired; at the end of that time, However, the road will have to be practically reconstruct­ ed. at least to ttye extent of half the smile or coax them with a curl till I. original cost. So a new road will be in a very frenzy of Jealousy, flung away into the woods to brood over her willful ways and ceaseless charm. And then probably there would come a quick flurry of flying footsteps, a soft hand slipped into mine, and a dear, pretending penitent voice in my "Don’t be cross, Tony! You made me do it, because you looked so glum In the corner. It was really all your fault!" . ‘That's nonsense. Prue," I would an­ swer, feeling ail my anger vanishing like morning mists befoYe the sun. But what could ycu do with a girl like that? Those days fled, and with them a dream I had l>een cherlsnlng till it grew brighter and clparer, and every day dearer. Prue became a great heiress, while 1 had little bexpnd my captain's pay. 1 had never spoksn to her of that sweet dream, she. had seemed too young to listen. Now my time for speaking was gone—my dream must be forgotten. I must do the pretending now Other engagements — business — any­ thing—must prevent my seeing her often, and a cool, elderly friendliness must be my constant aim. She began a violent flirtation with a young guardsman, who was perfectly open In his slavish adoration. 1 watched them together several times, but the sultry weather, or something, upset my liver and I felt If 1 didn't get right away for a bit I should make a confounded fool of myself—a thing 1 particularly bar. “Goodrby, Prue,” I said the evening before leaving tor a trip on a friend's yacht. And 1 kept my voice in the frigid zone. "Is It.too early, or may 1 offer my congratulations?" She looked unusually pale. I fancied, and the hand she gave me was as cold as Ice. "Good-by. Tony. You can keep your congratulations till they are wanted. Meanwhile, you are a grumpy old bear. "You called me/stoopid,’ I believe, the very first day we met." I answered, politely. "Ven’ likely. I generally stick to my opinion—and you haven’t altered much.” I heard nothing of Prue or her do­ ings for the next three weeks, for the yacht was bound for nowhere In par­ ticular, and «e had left no addresses for letters. No sooner was I ashore than I drove straight to Prue’s house. I felt it would be polite and kind to inquire for them after being away so long, and it would be Just as well to know as soon as possible whether a wedding present for Prue would be required. - much lets in the house.

The Practice of Manure Mulching Compared with Other Method* of TrtatawL E. B. Spradling, Graham county, Kan., writes tor information concern­ ing tbe Betting oct of fruit trees. He will set oat some trees about a ball mile from borne and wishes to know If he can mulch them with stable manure so as to avoid cultivation. He Intended to do this until be saw an article by the writer on cherry grow­ ing, as&ertiDg that mulching caused the roots to grow too close to tbe top of the ground. .He wants to know If apple, pear and apricot trees will oe affected the same way. ' *• Tbe position that roots take In tbe soil whether near the surface or deeper down depends to a consider­ able extent on the region, says the Prairie Fanner. Under shallow cul­ tivation the oxygen of the air pene­ trates tbe soil. Oxygenation nets free latent plant food. at Just tbe point in the soil where air and moisture come together to the best degree, there the feeding roots are more free­ ly developed. A heavy mulch of straw shuts the air out of the soil, brings moisture to the surface and develops feeding rootlots on the surface. This happens when we mulch with straw to the depth of 12 to 20 inches. If it was fine straw and pretty well com­ pacted a lesser depth would produce the same result Under such conditions the writer has seen tree roots as large as your finger on the surface of the ground. As long as the heavy'mulch was kept up do harm resulted from this surface rooting.

MOTHER’S GRAVE Written for The Nashville News STORAGE CRATES. Convenient Arrangement by Which Comb Honey Can Be Safely Kept in Small Space. HARRY P. HAYES. The engraving shows a pile of stor­ age crates filled with sections except the top one, which-is empty, the bet­ ter to show the construction. The engraving Is a little faultv tn that the tops of the secttons in tne filled crate nearest "the" toff do ifdl show as they should, through lhe open bottom* of the empty crate. These crates are 'made of any cheap lumber, the only It was thirteen years since mother’s death; when after a long abscence' from my native village I stood beside the sacred mound beneath which I had seen her buried. Since that mournful period a great change had come over me -, my childish years had passed away and with them my youthful character. The world was altered too; and as I stood by my mother’s grave I could hard­ ly realise that I was the same thoughtless, happy creature whose cheeks she so often kissed in an excess of tenderness. But the varied events of thirteen years had not effaced the remembrance of that mother's smile. It seemed as if I had seen her but yesterday, as if the blessed sound of her well-remembered voice was in my ear; the gay dreams of my infancy and childhood were brought back to my mind so distinctly that had it not been for one bitter recollection the tears I shed wcAild have been j gentle and refreshing. The circumstance may seem a trifling one, but the thought of it now pains my heart, and I relate it so that those children who . have parents to love them may learn to value them as they ought. . ■ • My mother had been ill a long time and I had become so accustomed to her pale (ace and weak voice that I was not frightened, at them as children usually are. At first I sobbed violently, but when day after day I re­ turned from school I found her the same I began, to believe she would always be spared to me. One day when I had, lost my place in the class and done my work wrongside outward I came home discouraged and fretful. I went to my mother’s chamber. I found her paler than usual, but she met me with the same affec­ tionate smile that always welcomed my return. Alas, when I look back through the lapse of thirteen years I think my heart must-have bepn stone not to have been melted by her affection. . She requested me to go down stairs and bring her a glass of water. I pettishly asked her why she did not call a domestic to do it. With a look of mild reproach which I shall never forget if I live to be a hundred years old, she said, ‘.'and will not my daughter bring a glass of water for her poor sick mother?” I went and brought her the water, but I did not do it kindly; instead of. smiling and kissing her as I was wont to do, I set the glass down very quickly and left the room. After play­ ing a short time I went to bed without bidding my mother good night, but when alone in my room in dark­ ness and silence I remember how pale she looked and how her voice trembled when she said, "will not my daughter bring a glass of water for her poor sick mother.” I couldn’t sleep. I stole into her chamber to ask foregiveness. She had sunk into an easy slumber, and they told me I must not waken her. I did not tell any one what troubled me but. stole back to my bed re­ solved to rise early in the morning and tell her how . sorry I was for my conduct. »Tbe sun was shining brightly when I awoke and hurrying on my clothes I hastened to my mother’s chamber.' She was dead. She never spoke more, never smiled on me again, and when I touched the hand that used to rest upon my head in blessing it was so cold that it made me start. I bowed down by her side and sobbed in the bitterness of«my htart. I thought then I wished I might die and be bur­ ied with her. And old as I now am I would give worlds were they mine to give, could my mother but have lived to tell me she forgave my childish ingratitude. But I cannot call her back and when I -\and'by her grave and whenever I think of her manifold kindness, the memory of that reproachful look she gave me will bite like a serpent and sting like an adder.''. THE STORAGE CRATE FOR COMH HONEY. point where a nilstake is -likely to be made being the making of them of un­ seasoned lumber, sc that the side pieces, when they shrink, are less than the height of the aectlon. I pile these crates up, even when full of honey, as high as I can reach; and it is necen-\ sary that this weight should not come directly on the sections. In piling up sections that are to stay any length of time in the crates, always lay a piece of paper over each one, which makes It practically dust-proof, es­ pecially If the paper Is long enough to extend down over the ends of the crates. Pile your honey In a hot. dry place, cautions the editor of Gleanings in Bee Culture. If there is any sus­ picion of coolness or dampness about It, do not put the honey near the floor or In a corner. Have it at least a foot from the floor, and where the air can circulate freely all around -it. EFFECTIVE DUST BATH. Clean Dust Mixed with Fine Ashes and Sulphur Enjoyed by Hens. As to mites,-I do not believe that I have'any In my houses, says a New Jersey poultryman. I use preventa­ tive remedies, spraying the houses and painting underside of roosts and roost rests with crude carbolic solution, also fumigating with sulphur and white­ washing, using the sulphur once a month nnd whitewashing about four times a year. The above I have found sufficient for toy purpose. 1 believe the mftes are very difficult to get rid of once they get a foothold in a house, and a house infested with them will need very thorough cleaning and spraying, being very particular to get' the spray Into all cracks and crevices. As to chicken I Icq, I keep the bonSes supplied with dust baths, using clean dust mixed with fine ashes nnd sul­ phur. When I had a small number of fowl*, it was an easy matter to in­ spect each individual, and dust them with insect powder, but this involves entirely too much labor where a large number of fowls are kept; so now I rely on dust baths mixed as above, I am not aware that I have ever lost any poultry from lice or mites and believe If the above plan Is faithfully followed . the trouble will be reduced to a minimum.—Farmer's Review. ► ► LOCUST STUMPS.

Charles EL -Manning, a traveling man. was pul off a Grand Trunk train from Chicago at Lansing because he was apparently Intoxicated and created a disturbance, running through the train partially disrobed and shouting that he had been robbed of $250. He was arrested as a drunk, but stuck to his story that he had been given drugged drinks and was robbed. The train officials evidently became convinced that something was wrong, as they caused the arrest of Charles Peterson an suspicion when the train reached Port Huron.

A Johnson, of Flint, went home from his work a. few days ago and found his wife missing, and the household goods gone. He traced the goods to Pincon­ ning. and bis wife and a man to Bay City. They were arrested on a stat­ utory charge, but the woman testified that she had never secured a divorce from her first husband, though she and Johnson had lived together 19 years.

Both Are Excellent, Says Prof. Thomas Shaw, But Too Expensive A dairyman of Abbotsford. Mich., is desirous of finding out the value nl sugar beets and carrots for dairy cowe. He also asks for the experience of others who have fed them. Sugar beets make an excellent food lor dairy cattle, but the cost of grow­ ing them is more than the. cost of growing mangels, hence where- roots are grown for dairy cows,' mangels nre usually preferred to sugar beets. The tonnage of mangels is consider­ ably grenter„and the labor Is also conElderabiy less. For milk production, ’he difference in value'of the two Is Dot great, pound for pound, but lhe value of the sugar beet is more In fattening animals. Carroty are excellent for milch cows. hnl the same objection applies to then, that applies to the growing of sugar beets, that is, the labor. As with beets, Il takes much time to thin them and also to harvest and store them. The labor, however. Is mucin influenced by the variety grown, the Mastodon, a large white variety, befog one of the best. * TWO DAIRYING DELUSIONS. Mistaken Ideas Which Farmers Have Regarding Poor Cows and Mar­ ket Quotations. Some one says that if all the cows wore brought up to a high standard of production It would bring down lhe price of the product, said W. D. Hoard, of Wisconsin, at the late Illinois state farmers’ institute. Keeping poor, un­ lit cows for the purpose of holding up pricer of butter and milk is hard on the constitution.

This is not always practigible in win­ ter. but they should be watered at least twice a day. If the water is waruv-that Is, heated so that the chill is taken off. they will be glad to drink twice daily, even during the coldest of weather.

Margetts, of the battery to which Chester belonged, immediately after the accident: Fort Snelling, Minn., June 20, '06 Mr. J. B. Messimer, Detroit, Mich. My Dear Sir: I regret exceedingly that it is my painful duty to relate to you the details as seen by me. The battery arrived in camp from a prac­ tice march and when everything was in the men received permission to swim the horses in the lake, your son was among them. While enjoying themselves in this sport he was struck in some unaccountable manner by the horse he was swimming. z\ttentiou was drawn to him by bis struggles m the water and immediately several tivjn went to nis assistance. He was brought ashore unconscious and strenuous efforts made to revive him: the men working over him four hours, rubbing and rolling 1dm, buttheir ef­ I lorts proved unavailing: he could not be revived. He has been handled ten­ derly and this morning 1 left camp at 3 a. m., with the remains, arriving at the fort at 8 a. m. 1 can say, sir, that it is one of those things that can not be prevented. If it were possible to have saved him it would surely have been done, as he was not under water two minutes befdre he was pulled out. In closing 1 can say concerning your son’s-character that since joining my battery it has been excellent. He at­ tended to his duties faithfully and was never court-martialed. All of his effects will be carefully checked and such disposition made of them as you desire. You have the sympathy of the offi­ cers and all the men of the battery, who extend to you their most sincere condolence In this, your hour of sad­ ness. If 1 can be of any 'service to you in this matter kindly write me ahd I shall do anything gladly. With sympathy, N. E. Margetts, Lieut. LOST ANOTHER.

Nashville had men on bases in nearly every inning but wheu hits meant runs they could not be had. Charlotte’s twirier, pitched a good game and was well supported.

Murray, of the stale, board, of pardons, discussing the recent applica­ tion of writs of habeas corpus made by oouvicts for release from " the re­ formatory at lonla. said that it was interesting to note that the applicants are of the class for whom the Indeter­ minate sentence act was especially insaid Mr. Murray, “is an excellent ex­ ample to cite in favor fit the law. Por­ ter was sentenced by Judge Chittenden for a term of nine to eighteen months on a charge of larceny. A hurried ex­ amination of Porter's record shows that he was sentenced from Cheboygan countyin 1887 under the name of Hor­ ace White to Jackson for a term of 15 years on a charge of criminal assault, and that he served his full- sentence, less good time. He was sentenced un­ der the same ngtne from Otsego county in 1902 to' Jackson prison for a term of two years on a charge of forgery, and served that sentence, less good time. In.leas than eight mouths after release from his second sentence he was tried before Judge Chittenden On a charge of larceny from the person and received a sentence of nine to eigh­ teen months. * It is fair to presume , that Judge Chittenden did not know of • the coavict'c previous record. His statement to the governor at the time of sentence is made In three lines which reads as follows: “He deserves the minimum—ahd the maximum if he does not show a dlsposifton to reform." If the judge knew of Porter’s previous record his statement to the governor assumes the form of a joke, for if 17 years’ imprisonment, less good time, on former charges failed to produce reformation, it is hardly expected, chat the desired result will be obtained tn a nine to* eighteen months’ sentence in the Michigan reformatory. Under -the indeterminate sentence law society can be protected from this class of crimi­ nals. with whom the law is very un­ popular. for the statutory period, which in this case is five years. A number of confirmed criminals are being held In our penal institutions to-day' under this iasv and the authorities await with great interest the decision in these New G. A. R. Officers. Dr. J. B. Griswold, of Grand Rapids, the new commander of Michigan de­ partment. G. A. R.. has appointed Fay­ ette Wyckoff, of Lansing, assistant ad­ jutant general, and W. B. Bostock, of Grand Rapids, assistant quarermaster general. Dr. Griswold Is a native of Vermontville. Eaton county, where he was born Jurie 21. 1842. He was a stu­ dent at the Michigan Agricultural col­ lege when war was declared. He served one year With the Second cav­ alry and was discharged on account of disability. Returning from the south, he began the study of medicine and In 1864 was commissioned assistant sur­ geon of the Fourth Michigan infantry. He was commissioned regimental sur­ geon In 1865 and served as such until mustered out In 1866. He was also medical Inspector of the department of San Antonio. Tex; Dr Griswold re­ ceived his degree from Rush Medical ■college. Chicago, In 1867. He removed to Grand Rapids In 1873 and wus-appointed city physician and elected al­ derman. He recently resigned as a member of the state board of registra­ tion in medicine Dr. Griswold was married In Ann Arbor, 1868, to Mary B. Wisner. National Guard Encampment. Further Information has been re­ ceived from the war department Id re­ lation to the encampment of the Mich­ igan National Guard at Indianapolis, beginning August 3. All arrangements lor’ the transponitldn and for th? pro­ visions aud stores ut camp are left in the hoods of the quartermaster general of the state organization, and it is re­ quired that the brigade shall arrive at Indianapolis with all equipage neces­ sary' to establish a proper’eamp. For the transportation of the t rdflps th? fed­ eral government allows $20,000, the other expenses being borne by the' state. Quartermaster General Kidd has found that the prices for many of the supplies will be cheaper at Indian­ apolis than they were at Ludington. Officers’ houses will be engaged there, .but the artillery and cavalry will probably transport their own. Oppose Clemency for Hoffmann. According to a prominent state offlclal, friends of John T. Hoffmann, former coroner of Wayne county, will have much difficulty In securing his release from Jackson. An Important ■barrier to clemency. It is said, is the fact that Hoffmann never settled forthe sums unlawfully taken, and as he had never given a bond he is still con­ sidered a debtor to the people of the state. • Looking Forward to tije Fourth.

FERRIS DECLINES PRIMARY NOMINATION IN BRIEF LETTER. Lansing.--Auditor General Bradley, tn behalf of the people of Michigan', and under direction of Attorney Gen­ eral J E. Bird, ha* started a suit In the Ingham county circuit court against the Detroit, Grand Haven & Milwaukee Railroad company, et al., to collect $305,743.21, alleged to be due in back taxes. Frederick E. Drygs, John Belt. Francis Pavy.- the Grand Trunk Railway company, and the Detroit. Monroe & Toledo Railroad company are also made defendants. It is asked that the defendant road bA® decreed subject to the general railroad laws of the state, and its property liable to taxation, and that the taxes assessed for the years 1903, 1904 aud 1905 be held «is valid debts and'liens on the railroad and property of the D., 6. H. & M. company. The full amount of the interest at one per cent on all the taxes end the -penalty Is also asked for. The plaintiff holds that the Detroit, Grand Huven & Milwaukee company Is subject to the tax in the same man­ ner as other railroad property in the state uncler the oct which provides for the taxation of railroad properties up­ on their cash value, as fixe'd by the iftate board of assessors. The company has claimed special privileges under nn obi charter, and In the suit Involv­ ing the .constitutionality of the new taxation law fhls was the only com­ pany exempted. It is evidently- the purpose of the state officers ' to en­ deavor to have the road declared to be subject' to the general railroad laws. Pensions for Michigan Veterans.

If this is a government of. by and for the people, it is time to cast about and see whether its functions are be­ ing faithfully exercised. There are ninety million people in the United States, and more than one-third of these are engaged in agricultural pursuits. Upon this latter class ail the others depend for the necessaries of lite, and according as conditions are good or bad about the agricul­ tural classes, all the others are af­ fected. Prosperity In the farming world means prosperity in the indus­ trial and the mercantile world. When the farmers 'suffer, the disaster reaches In some measure to every man. woman and child in the country. There is no way to honestly put out of sight the interdependence of oftr people, and yet the one class that could live absoluetly without the ex­ istence of any of the other classes is the farming community. In view of these self-evident truths it does seem that the industrial and mercan­ tile classes, with the professional people, would be mindful of everything tending to make rural life profitable and pleasant, The present highway conditions form the most serious drawback that confronts the country to-day. In no other civ­ ilized country do like conditions pre­ vail Wherever government has in­ tervened for good highways, there the people are happiest The high­ ways afford to the rural population not alone the means ot communica­ tion with the business world, but the means of reaching church houses and school houses, and all that thqy have of social intercourse and amusement It should be a matter of general pub­ lic concern tn have the highways in all the states put in first-class condi­ tion. The states of themselves can never establish satisfactory systems ot roads, nor should they be expected to. The cost of road construction should be equltebly distributed, and I this can only be done through national aid. �THE CLEFT CRAFT.

In the grafting of fruit trees when the stocks are more than three-fourths Inch*In diameter It will be found best to use the Cleft graft shown In our Uiustratidn. In making this graft, the stock should be cut off at right angles and tbe end pared smooth. A split to the depth of two Inches is then" made In the center of the stub with a grafting chisel, or heavy knife, and thia is held open with a steel or bird wood wedge. TWo scions should be used for each stock. These should be about thrfs Inches long (2), with a wedge at the Look.

In cutting the wedge, care should be talqjn to have the sides true, and the side of the wedge that Is .to be used ag the outside of the stock should'be.slightly thicker thafi the other. The scions should be Inserted, as shown In Fig.-2, taking pains to have the Inner barks In contact. -If there is sufficient spring to the stock to hold the scions securely in place no wrap­ ping will be required, but If not they should be wrapped the same as whip grafts. The graft Is then completed by covering all cut surfaces. Including the spilt ut the sides, with cither graftlng'wiix, waxed paper, or cloth, in order to prevent evaporation and the drying out of the surfaces. This form of graft can be used either on the trunks of small trees or the branches of larger ones. The best suc­ cess will be obtained when the stubs are from one to one and one-half Inches in diameter, and none much over two inches should be used. When graft­ ing large trees, the Prairie Farmer thinks. It is advisable to extend the perio-* over several years, grafting about one-third at a time.

Leonard Smith, a former resident of Maple Grove township,committed suicide in his son's barn near Hast­ ings last Thursday night. He had been dead several hours when found. He was very deliberate about the preparations for his death, as he had placed a rope around his neck and strangled himself to death in a nearly horizontal position. It is slated that worry over the disposition of property caused him to commit self­ destruction. He was fifty-five years old and was very highly respected, having manv friends in Maple Grove and Nashville who deeply regret his death. The funeral was held Sunday.

This makes the । Nashville^s Fourth of July celebra­ tion yesterday was a hummer In .every particular. The weather man was ex­ ceptionally lenient, considering the' way he has been acting lately,'and duly uncorked a few barrels of water, which came In the afternoon, before the second, ball game: however the stfies soon cleared and a better day could not have been asked for. The feature of the day was the two ball games between Dowling and the home team. Both games brought out many brilliant plays and exciting moments and will go down as two of the best games ever played in the vil lage. Nashville won both, the fore­ noon game by a score of fl to 1 and the afternoon by a score of 5 to 1. Mc­ Dowell pitched.both games for Nash­ ville and at all times held the oppos­ ing batsmen safe. Rice went In the box for Dowliug in the first game He was touched up quite freely and Powell relieved him, finishing out the first game and throwing, all the last game and at critical times he was very effective and pitched good steady ball. The home team was batting hard In both games, Poff gelling a couple of good ones. Cole pounding out two hot ones. Baker made four safe bingles in the afternoon and Weber did the same thing in the forenoon game. □ Cole, on second, played a star pane, hapdiiqg everything that came into his territory and making a ’•grandstand" left-hand catch of a line drive that was a “peach.” Poff, behind the bat. was in his old-time form and caught a tine game. Brown for the visitors, took a stinging liner from Poff’s bat in the last Inning and Rice in center robbed the home team of good hits by phenomenal fielding. Grandpa Billy Schriner, who has plpyed ball, the natives out there aver, for nearly a hundred years, played third base for the visitors and starred in many good plays. Altogether the games were snappy and enjoyed by all who witnessed them. Professor Merrill, spike bender, stiong man, etc., gave several exhi­ bitions which were rather lame. Claud Smith won the W0-yard run­ ning race and both jumping contests. The hand dance at the opera bouse was well attended and the band music highlv enjoyed. The'display of fireworks in the eve­ ning was very pretty and pronounced to be the best'ever displayed in Nash­ ville. Altogether the celebration was a success and the committee wishes-to thank all who assisted McMORE-MAYO. A very pleasant wedding occurred at the bride's home on the corner of State and Washington street Tuesday afternoon when Miss Mabie McMore was united in marriage to Edward Mayo of Grand Rapids, formerly a resident of this village. The bride and groom received the guests al the door and al 4:30 p m. they marched unattended to a pretty corner io the parlor trimmed with white lilies where Rev. G. W. Tuthill of the M. E church performed the ceremony, using the ring service. The wedding march was played by Miss Hazel DeRjar The bride wore a pretty gown of white French mull trimmed with Valenciennes lace, the groom wearing the conventional black. After con­ gratulations the guests wer? /.eated to a dainty luncheon. Only the near rel­ atives of the contracting parties were present, those from out of town being Mr. and Mrs. V. B. Furnist* and daughter. Janet, of Hastings. The young couplfi will be at home to their many friends at tbelr pleasant new home at 27 Sin Clare St , Grand Rap­ ids. Mr. and Mrs. Mayo have always lived in or near Nashville and have many friends who sincerely wish them much happiness In their future life. O. M. McLaughlin helped to close Nashville’s celebration in a blaze of glory. He and three assistants took a big assortment of fireworks up on the roof of his block in the evening and had just started in on what promised to be a fine display, when a pin-wheel got loose and fired the whole stock of pyrotechnics. The air was full of commotion and red fire, and Mack and his boys took places of safety behind chimneys and dodged sky­ rockets, while what was intended to be a two-hours’ display went up in two minutes. Many thought Un­ building would he set on fire, but It was not, and no damage resulted ex­ cept the premature destruction of the •fizz -bangs.1* _____________________ NUMBER 48 Your friends often know things about you that you yourself never suspected. / Ball game Monday.

At length the council of corps commanders bad rendered its decision and the grand campaign uf Virginia Peninsula was planned on the morning of the 14th of March, 1862. With buoyant hopes we left our camp at Flint Hill. It had few charms for us and we were glad to leave it. How little we yet knew of real cam­ paigning, although we bad notice several hours before band that we were to move by day-light. No morn­ ing sun cheered us as tbe day began, but tbe sky was bung with heavy clouds. A drizzling rain now coming in fresh showers made the marching I heavy and unpleasant. Tbe majestic army appeared very grand as it filed down the turnpike to Alexandria. At times the elevation of tbe road afford­ ed a view of the mighty column for miles to*the front and at other times we could see it pouring onward, an endless stream of cavalry, infantry, artillery and wagons far from tbe rear. So grand a spectacle bad never been witnessed on this continent be­ fore. Our march was rapid and we made no halt for dinner. Those who went ’without breakfast had poor chance for coffee that day. Toward evening tbe rain increased and as we drew off into a piece of woods five J miles out from Alexandria. Tbe rain came'down in sheets, no sooner had stopped than began tbe work of destruction, so familiar to ns after­ ; ward. Tbe ground, although quite uneven and eloping, soon became so flooded that tents, even when they could be pitched were untenable. The boys attempted tojbuild fires but in most cases the floods of water quenched the flames.*JSome, however, succeeded in starting huge fires and tbe men stood around these during the whole night while the tempest poured in torrents upon them. Never since tbe times of Pharaoh was an army so thoroughly drenched. .During more than three years campaigning in the field our boys never forgot that night and to this day .they refer to the disagree­ able experience in what they termed Camp Misery.

Those who have a garden know the flat, ruatyblack creature with its vile odor. In spring or early summer the eggs are laid on the leaves and stems of plants, sometimes Kingly, but usually in group* nf from 12 to 50. They are brownish-yeHow and easily found. Fortunately tbe insect confines its at­ tention almost entirely to cucurMtaceous plants. . Ah the bugs grow they Scatter over tbe leaves, molting five times before they; reach maturity. Naturally the plant is weakened by such attentknm.A leaf that has nourished many bugs will turn yellow, and if the pests are numerous enough the whole plant may be killed. It Is sometimes claimed that the bug stings tbe leaf and kills it, but It would be more to the point to say that the leaf is tapped and its life-blood sucked out. In autumn the adult bug crqwls under a board, stone or rubbish and remains till spring. The Nympba may be killed by s spray of kerosene emulsion or tobacco water, as tbelr bodies are soft and unprotected. But the ‘old bugs are proof against this kind of treatment TheiJ hard-shelled backs protect them. The most practicable remedy thus far seems tn be bated picking, says the Orange Judd Farmer. It should begin with tbe first bug and be repeated at short intervals. The beet time for It is tn the morning While it Is cool and tbe bugs sluggish. A convenient way is to? drop the hugs Into a can containing water wife a little kerosene. The bugs will swim tn clear water, but the film of oil on the surface Is sure death. Boards or shingles placed on the ground are an osristance in gathering the bugs. They will seek these shelters in mid-after­ noon and remain dormant till It is warm tn the morning, when they can easily be gathered. Crushing the eggr cn the leaveals a preventive measure that should nobite neglected. So far ax my experience goes, the beat wax to against the bug H to plant the vines among potatoes.

The building originally stood on the north side of Wall street between Cen­ ter and Cedar streets, where it was used as a warehouse by James Sey­ mour. Thea the Methodists, who hatj been holding meetings In the district schoolhouse, rented the'warehoose, and under the direction of James Turner and H. H. Smith the building was con­ verted into a place of worship. : The first sermon waa preached In this church.in 1849 by Rev. R- Sapp, whose salary was $464, while the receipts for tbe first year were, >286.08. In 1852' the church was purchased from Mr. Sey­ mour and the next year Rev. E. House was appointed pastor. From May 12, 18M. to January 14. 1889. the church had nine different pastors. They were Revs. Park Donaldson, William Ma­ hon. N. L. Brockway. U. Abbot. D. L. Gillett. J. W. Boynton. H. H. Baldwin.

Attorney General Bird Is defending the mandamus suit brought by S. D. ■Williams, of Detroit, to have the pres­ ent Mbuforial apportionment act de­ clared unconstitutional. Briefs in the case were filed in the supreme court. The relator asks that the secretary of state be directed to give notice of the election of state senators under 'the old apportionment act in force from 1895 up to 1905. when the present act was passed. The claim of the relator is tturt some sections of the state, Wayne county In particular, have been deprived of their- Just representatloh by the new law. Attorney Gen­ eral Bird's brief Is short and considers but om* phase of the case. It Is admit­ ted that some districts have less than the ratio of population, and that some have more, but it is said to be Impos­ sible without dividing counties to make an apportionment that will be equal throughout the state. Although Wayne county has more population than is sufficient to give it four sena­ tors. it is claimed that It does not have sufficient to entitle It to five. The main point, however, in the attorney gen­ eral’s belief, is that the county Is the unit, and that the legislature had a right to take into consideration the tact that u county is given proportionately greater power In the sehate when It is given more than one senator. "The moment a county is given more than one senator,” says the brief, "It is given a substantial advantage over the others,” and the argument Is made that the legislature had a right in ap­ portioning the state Into gubernatorial | districts to take this fact into consid­ eration. Attorney Williams says that his only object in bringing this suit Is to prevent the perpetuation of unjust apportionments. He points out that some districts in W lyne county have nearly twice as large a population afr some of the other districts In the state, and that they are much higher. Mr. Williams is of the opinion that If the piesent apportionment can be sus­ tained almost any kind of an appor­ tionment act will be legal. Annual M. N. O. Encampment Quartermaster General Kidd and As­ sistant Quartermaster General Rogers have returned from (Jhlcago, where they had an interview with the com­ mander of the department of the lakes regarding the coming military en­ campment ax Indianapolis. They ar­ ranged a number of matters In connec­ tion with »he coming encampment, and among other things decided to advertise for bids from the railroads for carrying the troops to Indianapolis and return. It has been decided that the state will purchase from the regu­ lar a: my quartermaster the regular army rations for the soldiers, it having given good satisfaction at the last state encampment. Horses for the offleers and cavalrymen will be hired at Indianapolis. The military officers ■will visit the encampment site shortly and make arrangements for supplies. Taw Index Nearly Ready. The last legislature 'authorized the compilation of a new index for the J compiled laws of the state. Clerk I Charles 8. Pierce was placed in charge of the work, which is now nearly com­ pleted. The card system has been used tn making the compilation, and aboir. 35,000 cards were used. The copy is now nearly ready for the prln-' ter,' and It is expected that the index ■ will make a book of nearly 500 pages. Transient Traders’ Act. Brief? were filed In the supreme court in the mandamus proceedings conjmenced against Judge Stuart, of Grand Rapids, by- Prosecuting Attor­ ney Brown, the case being one involv­ ing the constitutionality of the tran­ sient traders’ art passed by. the legisla­ ture of 1905. Judge Stuart held the law void because It makes any person con­ ducting: a mere temporary business a transient trader, and because the tltls j Is not broad enough^ to cover the act. The Judge also claims the license fees are unreasonable and prohibitive. WRECK ON THE PERE MARourrre kills brakeman ANO SMASHES CARS. Agrioulhiial Collage. .

Chase has resigned to accept employ­ ment with Hon. Arthur Hlll. Attorney General Bird said that he parts With Mr. Chase reluctantly, but at the sama time he recognlzas that it would be unwise for him to refuse the nattering offer he has received. Charles W. Mc­ Gill. who has been with the depart­ ment for the past seven years, will be­ come deputy to Mr. Bird. Mr. Chase has heen with the department for more than 11 years, coming to Lansing from Grand Rapids with’ Attorney General Maynard. January 1, 1895, and remain­ ing deputy under H. M. Oren, Charlei A. Blair and John E. Bird. The latter pays Mr. Chase a very high compli­ ment for the character of bls services to the slate. Mr. Bird has a,high opin­ ion of the ability of his new deputy, who has tried a large number of im­ portant cases for the state, and ha» assisted in the preparation of many others. Mr. McGill is a native of Vari Buren county, but removed to Grand Rapids, where he practiced law and was clecte.l cirvult court comrnfiisloner He was a member of the legislature Ir 1897. -a---Shows Growth of Lansing. An excellent Indication of the growth of Lansing is found in the increase of the business of the municipal electric light and water commission. Although the number of new water and electric light connections made last year was larger than those that have been con­ nected since the beginning of the pres­ ent fiscal year Indicate that tbe In­ crease for 1906-07 will be far In ad­ vance of any previous year. Slhce April 12. 180 new water taps have been made and electric light connections have been Installed at the rate of about one per day. Most of these are for new houses. It must be remembered else that the water mains do not extend into some of the additions which have been made to the city recently. Argue Law’s Constitutionality. Prominent attorneys argued in ths supreme court the question of the con­ stitutionality of the law under which the Michigan Lake Superior Power company of the Soo has been -permit­ ted to pay a specific tax to the state based on its capital stock instead of ■ tax locally on the values of its proper­ ty. It is contended that such discrim­ ination In taxation is in conflict with the provision of the constitution which requires uniformity of taxation The company is making a big fight for the law, as It pays a much smallet tax than would be required of it un­ der tne general taxation law. Can Make Expense Money. Senior engineers of tbe Michigan ag­ ricultural college have been given an opportunity to make some expense money by drawing maps for the state highway commissioner.

Low Protein Corn More Apt to Do Well on Land Poor in Nitrogen Than High Protein Corn. Regarding the yield of corn it seems quite possible that upon land whose productive capacity is limited by the supply of available nitrogen the low protein or high starch corn may yield better than the high protein corn, provided the two kinds of corn are equal in other respects, as in germ­ inating power, vigor of growth, root development, etc'. My opinion is -that ‘if we have use for high protein corn ,-we should produec it and by means of leguminous crops we should pro­ vide the growing corn crop with as imuch nitrogen as it can profltably use. Of course this principle applies not only to nitrogen, but to all of the elements of fertility. There is no economy in allowing any crop to grow in a half .starved condition, any more than there is in keeping growing ani­ mals on a mere maintenance - ration. We should provide not only the ni­ trogen, but welhould also make sure that the supply of phosphorus and potassium is sufficient for maximum profitable crop yields. In this connection it may be stated that the evidence thus far obtained from soli Investigations in the corn belt indicates that the supply of ni­ trogen is abundant in niost soils, in­ deed that large amounts of nitrogen are annually passing off in drainage waters, that phosphorus and not ni­ trogen is the element which commonly limits the yield of the corn crop, and that tbe chief effect of clover upon a •ncceedlng crop of corn is due to the phosphorus liberated by the decaying clover residues, the fixation of ni­ trogen being of secondary import­ ance.—Cyril G.

This In­ sect is a common species through southern and central United States, but' very seldom causes serious damage The eggs are of a slate-brown color and are laid in remarkably regular, double rows, with broken joints ns shown in the illustration. They are laid on the twigs of trees in the nortli. as the in- the-katydid eggs. sect passes the winter in tne egg stage. In the south they are laid on the edges of leaves, frequently, a row on each surface, says the Ohio Farmer. Tbe in­ sect has two generations in tbe south. W’hentheegga are laid, the surface of the twig is first roughened by the jaws. The eggs are. then laid, one after another, tbe successive ones being pushed for a short distance in under the preceding. Tbe number laid by each female varies from 100 to' 150. In the spring the egg splits along the top and the young katydid emerges, very pale tn color. Mr. Scudder, who has made a study of the song st the katydid, says tbe night song and the day song differ. Eighteen-Inch Finger Nalls.

Now make a par­ tition of woven wire or boards from the top of the nests, and middle of platform, to tbe roof of tbe house. When a hen wants to set, and you have no use for her for that purpose, she can be placed on ths other side of tbe partition and be inclosed by tbe back of the nests and the wire netting where she will be away from the lay­ ing huns.

L. W. LANDMAN, General Agent, Toledo, O. Simply the Hut or Cave in Which Primitive Man Made His Dwelling. The most Important uses of fire were taught by fire Itself, writes S. E. For­ man, in "Stories of Useful Inventions'* in St. Nicholas, As the primitive man stood near tne flames of the burning tree and felt their pleasant glow he learned that fire may add to bodily comfort; and when the flames swept through a forest and overtook a deer and bakefl It, he learned that firs might be used to Improve the quality of his food. The hint was not lost He took a burning torch to his cave or but and kindled him a fire on his floor of earth. His dwelling filled with smoke, bnt be could endure the dis­ comfort for the sake of the fire's warmth, and for the sake of the tbothsomenesa of the cooked meats. After a time a bole was made in, the root of the hut. and through this hole the smoke passed out Here wgs the first stove. The primitive stove was the entire house; the floor was ths fireplace and the hole In the roof was the chimney. The word “stove" orig­ inally meant “a heated room.” So that if we should say that at first people lived in their stoves we would say that which is literally true. A BURRO AND A THISTLE. Favorite Food of the Diminutive Bur­ den Bearer and How Obtained. The Rocky mountain burro, one of the most sagacious of animals, seeks tbe thistle as a favorite food, and the pungent spines with which it protects its leaves at every angle are doubtless a recognition on its part of this fond­ ness of grazing animals for It. Few experiences of frontier-life are more amusing, says Country Life in America, than to watch the donkey’3 attack upon a large bull thistle. He walks about it. seeking for a favorable opening, projects his lip gingerllngly against its spines and Jerks back as he feels its prick. He surveys it pen­ sively for a moment or two and then slowly raises his foot and strides It, pausing to watch the effect of tbe blow. He then perhaps strikes It from tbe other side and watches again. The blows become rapid, and at length it is broken down and thoroughly tramp­ led, After which fids consumed to tbe last vestige. .

Y, has apparently solved one of the most vexing ques- ■ tlons which have to do with modern | education. It is a realization of the ! Pestalozzian theory that each pupil has a right to be educated personally for what he can best achieve. For many years it has been charged against the public school system that the standards were set for the clever pupils to the detriment of the back­ ward and dull ones. If the "Batavia experiment," as It Is called, proves after long trial to do what It Is hoped It will then primary education will be Infinitely bettered. ' Mr. Kennedy, the originator of the i scheme, proposed to the governing board of Batavia- to procure the serv­ ices of an extra teacher for each ■ room whose duty it should be not to ■ listen to recitations, but to help and I encourage any pupils who were fall­ ing behind the class. It was to be entirely a work of sympathy and de­ manded great tact and discernment The plan was tried In a single room ’ and the result was so marked in both pupils and teachers that the expertment has spread rapidly and is ire I ng I introduced In all the better schools j fa the United States. . Its value- can not be overestimated, i The teachers are stimulated to do leas , nagging, while the pupils themselves are relieved from going beyond their j ability and strength. And the effect on health of the children was also marked. No bcoks were taken home for night study and six times the number of pupils remained to gradu­ ate from the high school. THE MARKETS.

PROBATE ORDER. ~~ �MICHIGAN EVENTS NOTED QeOODA COUNTY TREASURER'S SUICIDE AND THAT OF MISS MOE. , Lansing.—There will be no special •esslcn of the legislature for the re.■ppcrtlontncnt of the senatorial dis­ tricts. Evtn If the mandamus applied for by Judgp Cahill and ’Attorney Williams on the secretary of state Is granted by the supreme court, the effect will be to set aside the appor­ tionment art of 1905 and the appor­ tionment act of 1901, and compel the secretary to call elections for the state senate In the districts defined tn the law of 1905. which was concertedly, a constitutional enactment, “if jhc -su­ preme court decided In our favor." said Judge Cahill, "there will be two courses from which to choose. Either the governor must call a spe­ cial session of the legislature. or the legislature at its next session must In ali fairness perform tho duty of '.re­ apportioning the, districts." Gov. Warner will not call a special seislon In any case. He will probably ray the act of 1905- is so nearly like the last act of the legislature as to justify the holding of this year's elections under the old law, thus saving tha thousand* of dollars that a special aesslon would cost the state. Eight districts wUl be affected by the change to the ola law should the prayer of the petitioners be answered. Arenac county will be taken out of Senator Doherty's dis­ trict and put in the Bay-Midland dis­ trict Benzie county will be taken out oY the MantRtee-.Mason-LakeOceana district and put in the Twenty­ seventh district with Wexford. Grand Traverse and . adjoining counties. Mackinac will be trangfeired from the Twenty-ninth to the Thirtieth district Representative Ming has already been nominated for that district. In whirl Mackinac has been Included. He may have some of his troubles to me»t again If the present district Is-de­ clared unconstitutional. Mackinac 'wll be added to Senator Moriarty's dis­ trict BaragA will be taken from the Thirty-second district, represented’by Senator Smith, of Hubbell, and added to the Thirty-first district. Republican State Convention. • The Republican state convention which meets in Detroit on the 31st ol July to nominate the state ticket othe: than governor and lieutenant governor will consist of 945 delegates, which Is a reduction of about 13*4 per cent from the .1.094 of the last convention The delegations from the counties, however, are not uniformly reduced In that proportion, a new system of ap­ portionment having made marked changes in the relative strenifJh of many counties and districts. Hereto­ fore. Michigan Republicans have ajn portloned their delegates upon the to­ tal vote instead of upon the Republi­ can vote, a method at variance with that of many other states, and one that has always seemed to many of our own people - Illogical and unrea­ sonable. The primary election law In providing for the election of county delegates by Australian ballot, pro­ vided that the state delegates to be elected in county conventions should be apportioned upon the Republican vote, so that counties with strong Re­ publican constituencies should not be outclassed in Republican conventions by" counties with less Republican votes, on the strength of the votes they would cast against tne Republi­ can ticket. The delegates have now been elected upon that plan, and this and the relative gain In population of northern over southern counties re­ sults In transfer of considerable strength from lower counties to upper. Money Ordered Distributed. In the supreme court a decree was entered Ic the recently decided case of the Union Trust company against the Preston National bank and the Union Trust company, receiver of the City Savings bank. The court orders that the trust comi»any Is chargeable with Interest at five per cent, on the proceeds of the sale of certain bonds of the Detroit & Fllne rati way and that the amount Its hands for dis­ tribution is (53,677.10 on July 2. The Detroit United railway Is entitled to receive (8.164 of this amount, and the remaining (44.*** 2 is to be divided equally between the Union Trust com­ pany. receiver, and the Preston Na­ tional bank. Files Supplementary Brief. A supplementary brief was filed by Judge Cahill In the supreme court tn the case involving tbe constitutionali­ ty of the senatorial apportionment get. In It he points out that If tbe legislature can cut off Wayne county with four senators, because of the suppositious advantage that a county obtains by having more than one sen ator, by the same reasoning the leg lalature can cut off the county with three senators. The present appor­ tionment. he said, is more unequal than that of 1891, which was held to be unconstitutional. Pardon Board Overworked. The state board of pardons consid­ ers itself overworked. Under the present law the board cannot collect per diem for more than six months a year, and in order to make an Investi­ gation of all the cases coming before it for action under the indeterminate sentence act it Is sometimes necessary for the members to put in extra time for which they are not able to collect pay. It is likely that the next legisla­ ture may be asked to provide for thr payment of an annual salary to the members of tbe panion boaid. Michigan a Healthy State. Ma-higaa rhnks high among the healthy states the mortality statistics report published by the census bu­ reau covering the United States for the five calendar years, 1900 to 1904., This reort was prepared under the supervision of the late William A. King, chief statistician tor vital sta­ tistics.. The statistics are restricted to what Is termed- the "registration area." This area comprises those tates and cities which have laws re-ruiring the registration of deaths and losseas records affording satisfactory •.nd comparable data. In 1904 it in­ cluded eleven states and 334 cities which hud at least 8.000 population in 1900. • The eleven registration states'1 ■tre Connecticut. District of Columbia. Indiana.

He declares that the house and farm are conducted In as good a manner as any of the poor farms in the state and that the in­ mates receive excellent treatment from the keeper. J. G.

FOOT MORTEM STORIES Tw Husbands Drowned, Wives Were Seved—Etrange Disease Kills the Cattle. Cause or Coincidence. The sudden death of Thomas O. Woodward. treasurer of Oscoda county. and the discovery of an ap Parent shortage of nearly (3,000 in bis accounts. following so closely af­ ter the suicide of Mira Cora Moe tn Sagtnaw, has occasioned much talk, especially since the discovery of let­ ters from Woodward among the girl's betooginga. Robert Kittle, special ad minlstrator of the estate of Wood­ ward, says he finds a deficit of about (3.900, but is not yet through with the books. He finds that from time to time large sums have been loaned by the treasurer. Cora Moe was a wayward young woman whose home was at Caro. She committed suicide in Saginaw by jupptng into the river. It Is learned that Cora Moe lived .with Woodward at Mio about a year before her city career and after she left Mio corre spondence was kept up between her and Woodward. It may be only a coincidence that Woodward died within 24 hours after the girl, made way with herself, but a considerable number believe that -he also commit­ ted suicide. At any' rate, it Is stated that letters found Indicate that Cora received money from the treasurer of Oscoda county, and it Is thought that this may throw some light upon bls alleged shortage Husbands. Die4 Bravely. Sixteen hundred people on the steamer City of Chicago saw Ora Suth­ erland, a prominent Fair Plain fruit grower, make a fight for half an hour to save his wife from drowning, and. when successful in the struggle, to sink, exhausted from his efforts, to death The couple were sailing In a canoe just odtelde St Joseph harbor Coming too close to the big steamer, the little' craft was capsized by the big waves. Mrs. Sutherland, unable to swim, at once sank, but her hus­ band. by repeated diving, located her and brought her to the surface. Fold­ ing her In hts arms, he swam to the overturned canoe, but for several min­ utes was unable to turn It over and place hla human burden out of dan­ ger. Once the battling man. unable to bold his unconscious wife above wa­ ter for a longer time, loosened bls hold. The crowd on tbe steamer cried to him to keep courage. Sutherland responded to the appeal and at last reached the canoe and laid his wife tn tbe bottom of It Hla strength, however, was too far gone. He made a faint struggle to retain a hold on the side of the canoe, but dropped off and was drowned. A launch rescued Mrs. Sutherland. An hour's work by two physicians brought her back to consciousness. The" steamer Major Watson. ran down a rowboat on Reed’s lake, and Thomae Gurrl. aged 24. was drowned Why be was not saved under the cir­ cumstances Is a mystery. The im­ pact of tne steamer upset tbe boat. In which were Gurrl and his wife.

Wealthy Arabians Have Taken to Biding in the American Vehicle*.

Consul Masterson at Aden, the chief c ity of Arabia, reports that of all vehicles Imported during the last year three-fourths of them came from the United States.

Frank McDerby Immente Lake Steamer That Car­ ries 12,500 Tons of Iron at a Load. Two years ago a Duluth company built the Immense ore steamer. Augus­ tus B. Wolvln, carrying 12,500 cons and having 32 hatches. For swift loading and unloading this remarkable vessel has never been equaled, writes Herbert N. Casson, in Munaey's. Its records are incredible In Europe and startling to tbe steamboat men of the United States. For instance, a load of 10,245. tons of ore was placed on board her in 90 minutes, and unloaded to the.last pound in four and a half hours. Forty years ago a load of 500 tons was put aboard by a crowd of men with shovels and wheelbarrows In not less than three days. To-day the.Wolyin -lakes on. 500 tons in five minutes and unloads it in 15. The Wolvln has set a new standard for ore ships to which . the United States Steel corporation has been obliged to conform. Last year, feel­ Ing that Its ore fleet was dwarfted by this great independent vessel, the steel trust launched four new boats, each nine feet longer than the Wolvln, and built on similar lines. These gi­ gantic boats represent an outlay of 31,700,000 apiece, and will carry 800.­ 000 tons of ore down the lakes in a single season—enough- to keep an old­ time furnace busy for 400 years.

Yesterday a horse drawing a heavily loaded wagon on the Bowery slipped and fell. Before the animal got through kicking and struggling it was tangled in the harness from bridle to breeching. The driver looked tired and seemed to enjoy bis cigarette and the respite from work. In a minute horse aud wagon were surrounded by a crowd. Twenty or more men got busy and pretty soon the horse was on its feet, the harness adjusted and tbe crowd scattered. The driver didn't move an inch from the time the horse fell until be clucked to the horse to resume the trip. He didn't even smile. He took It as a matter of course. TWINE!

The road is declared guilty on each of eight counts. Secret concessions granted by the company to Schwarzs­ child & Sulzberger formed the basis of the indictments. This te considered one of the most Important victories of its kind won by the government, it means tbe be­ ginning of many prosecutions. The attorneys of the railroad gave notice of an appeal. They may, how­ ever, in view of tbe evidence, decide to waive further effort to prove the In­ nocence of the road of conspiracy. . -Judge K. M. Landis overruled a mo­ tion made in behalf of John M. Faithorn and Frederick A. Wann, former executives of the Chicago & Alton railway, charged with giving rebates to Schwarzschild & Sulzberger that the cases be taken from the Jury and a court order entered In favor of the defendants. * Not Guilty on Two Counts. The motion was overruled gs applied to eight or the ten counts In the Indict­ ment charging rebates. The basis of the motion made by the attorneys for the railroad men was that the refunds, assuming that they had been made, did not consti­ tute rebates as contemplated by the SECREW WILSON RILED BY PACKERS INSISTS LABELS WILL BE WITH­ HELD IF REQUIREMENTS ARE EVADED. Report of Exports Causes Some Plain Talk Regarding Petty Economy Practiced by Big Dealers at the Stockyards. Chicago, July 10.—Secretary of Agriculture James Wilson, with a stuff of government experts, arrived in Chicago Sunday, and Monday pre­ pared to Issue Instructions to an army of Inspectors regarding conformity with the new federal meat-inspection law. The secretary lost no time in ex­ pressing his 'disappointment that the packers have not been sufficiently aroused by the various' stock yards in­ vestigations and the public clamor to remodel their plants to conform , with the government's demand for sani­ tary cleanliness. He has made a careful study of tbe report of experts made public Friday, and says that It shows the "grudging spirit" and "pet­ ty, economy" of the meat packers in making improvements. He said that plenty of time Jiad elapsed since the publication of the Neill-Reynolds re­ port for thorough changes. Clash Sveins Imminent. When he read that screens had not been installed to protect the meat from files he Indicated that his In­ spectors would take the matter up. His manner made it also apparent that a clash (s imminent between the packers and the government, though It will be a contest without argument. "It seems to me that the packers of Chicago have not yet learned their lesson,” said the secretary. “Thia report of the experts retained by the Illinois Manufacturers* asso­ ciation and the Chicago Commer­ cial association 1s eloquent of their evasions. It seems to us that tbe pack­ ers have had ample time, if they w^re so disposed, to launch much greater Improvements, for instance. In tbe sanitary conditions of their planta" Mistaken Policy cf Packers. "Here In this report we find moo tton made of toilet rooms ventilating Into the workrooms. That will new do. The sanitary improvement df those plants must be on a broad. factive scale, if the United States fa to permit the use of its guarantee label.' “Apparently some of them are try­ ing to economize in defiance of tbe demands of congress that they bring their plants up to modern standarda. Such a policy te a mistake—J repeat ft. It te a mistake—and can only result tn the undoing of the halfway measures. “That is an expensive method tn the long run. It will do the packers no good to get their hacks up. Coogross has given the department power to insist upon wholesome conditions. That power. I have every reason to believe, will be exercised.” May Withhold Label. "There will be- no controversy be­ tween the government and the pack­ ers." went on the secretary. “That won't be necessary. In the event that they object to our close Inspection of their canned products, for instance, there will be no label forthcoming. That is all there te to It. “1 want to emphasize finally the fact that under the new law there will be a much more adequate inspection. At present our men do not leave the kllk Ing flodr. In the future they win watch the meat through the dressing and canning processes. We expect to make rigid requirements to conform with the best standards in the world." The.Judge says that It appears from the evidence that prior to 1901 the Chicago & Alton Railway company charged the belt road four dollars a car for hauls from the packing com­ pany's platforms, over the packers' private tracks and the belt line tracks to the Chicago & Alton tracks, and that the belt line paid another dollar to the packing company for the part of the haul that was over the tracks of the company. Payment Made Direct This practice Is said to have been known to the Alton company and con­ tinued until January 1, 1901, when, for some reason which does not ap­ pear, but at the alleged request of Schwarzschild & Sulzberger, the ar­ rangements were changed so that the Alton company made the payments direct to the packing company. In­ stead of through the medium of the belt company. Coincident with this change the belt line filed new schedules show­ ing Its rates for moving the packing company's traffic to be three dollars a car, which amount the Alton -ab­ sorbed In its tariff collected from Schwarzschild & Sulzberger and paid over to the belt road. Court Outlines Casa. \ After quoting the Interstate com­ merce law, which requires published schedules of rates, and the Elkins law, forbidding rebates or cutting of tariffs, the courts ays: "It is argued In behalf of the de­ fendants that If any section oh the law te violated it 1s that provision which requires the carrier's schedule to state the terminal charges and rules which change the aggregate rates. I am unable to see the force of this contention. Plainly, ths re­ turn by the defendant carrier to the packing company of a part of the money paid by that shipper to the carrier for the transportation of the shipper's product Is not a charge or rule or regulation within the meaning of the law. Definition of “Rate.” "The question te whether or not the payment w made 1s a device whereby the packing company's property If transported at less than the Alton's published rate, which, as seen above, includes the service on the belt com­ pany's tracks. It would seem that to state this question Is to answer It By the word ‘rate’ te not meant merely a figure or figures printed on a schedule filed with the interstate commerce com­ mission and exhibited on the walls of a railway station. The real rate if the net cost to the shipper of the trans­ portation of his property. This net amount In the case before me Is one dollar a car less than tbe carrier’s pub­ lished schedule represents the rate tr be.

Under Muzzle of Winchester He Com­ pete 45 Passengers to Disgorge —HisCapture Reported. Fresno, Cal., July 10.—It is report­ ed from several sources that the high­ wayman who on Saturday held up and robbed a number of Yosemite valley stage coaches jins been captured, but no news of an official nature has yet been received. The first authentic Information of the highway robbery was received Sunday night in Fresno when J. F. Tlbbett, of Riverside, who" with his wife and Miss Amy Michelbacker had come oyt of the valley. The robbery occurred six miles ; from the stopping place at Ahwanee on the other side. At that place the road winds around the side of a bill and. comes to a sudden point. At this point the robber stepped out and or­ dered W. A. Palmer, the driver of Lhe first stage, to stop. The latter quick­ ly complied. The highwayman wore a black mask and had sacks tied about his feet to prevent the leaving of any tell-tale tracks as a clew for a pursuing posse. He held in his right hand a Winchester. The man be­ hind the mask and gun ordered the passengers to alight. The women screamed, but the robber emphasized his order, and all quickly got out of the stage and lined up on the road with their hands above their heads. W. H. Elliott, from Hormitos. was or­ dered to take the express box from the Stage. While he was waiting for I the other stage to come up the rob­ ber shot the- lock off the Wells-Fargo box and rifled Its contents. The bandit stopped tbe other stages in the same way. lining the passengers up ’and keeping them coveed with hte gun. When all the passengers. 45 in nnmber, were lined up. the bandit, with a show of gayety, selected a young and pretty girt as his first as­ sistant. and tdid her she had beem appointed. t* She hesitated a moment, then went to work. The girl did not come up to tbe robber's requirements, and he told her that she was a poor high­ wayman, ordering her to get into line, and appointing a man to take her place, -requiring him to search the passengers. An English woman sod her daugh­ ter were In tbe party, and when the robber approached her she dropped in the road in a dead faint. He only laughed as be searched her.

Supervisor L. Reams of Assyria wa» in the village Friday looking after his interests as a candidate for county treasurer. Mr. Reams 1* serv­ Ing his ing hi9 third term as supervisor of /Assyria township, to which he was elected by nearly a two-thirds vote, and the board of supervisors at their June session elected him chairman of the board by practically an unani­ mous vote. Mr. Reams comes from a township that has not been represent­ ed on the republican ticket for a county office in about thirty-five years’ and in. presenting their candi­ date this year, feel that they are clearly within their rights. Mr. Reams realizes there are other candi dates for the honor, but will put up a clean tight and will be ready to lake off his coat aud work for the election In November of whoever is successful in September. "I* this, the plare where you Mil patterns?" he asked. "Ye*,” said the girl. “What do you want?" • •T want a pattern.'* ■ "What kindr • “Now you’ve got me. Wbat kind Would you want if you were me.?" "That depend*. - Who la It forT’ "My wife." "I* she youngr . “Five year* youpger than I." “That’* not answering my question." . "Oh, isn't It?- I thought It was. Ye* she’s' young. She was 65 the tenth of last November." The girl looked Danby up and down with unblinking coolness. "Dear me," she said, “how some folks-do hold their own." There was a pause. “It Is hard work," .ventured the girl presently, “for a man to select a becoming pattern for a woman. Why didn't your wife come herself?” “She couldn't. She has rheuma­ tism and can’t get out of the house. You advertised a sale of >1.50 pat­ tern* for 13 cent* to-day only. She couldn’t afford to let the bargain Blip, so she asked me to get a pattern for her.” "She must have faith In your judg­ ment.” ' "She has reason to.” * "Why?" "I married her." "That Is no sign you can buy a pat­ tern for her dresses. Most men can please a woman by wanting to marry her, but few can keep on pleasing by choosing her clothes afterward." * "There may be something In- that: still. I’ve got to get a pattern. What would you-advise?" “It all depends upon ‘ your wife's style. What kind of looking woman is she?" "Stunning." “That Is too Indefinite. There are lots of stunning women In New York, aud no two of them look alike. Now, If yqu- could only point out somebody “I can. Her eyes are like—what is the color of your eyes, please?" "Gray.” "So they are. 1 hadn’t got close enough to get a good look at them be­ fore. My wife’s eyea are gray. They’re like yours. They've got those same little purplish specks around the pu­ pil that are found In only one pair of eyes in a million." ■ "It depends, too, upon the material. If she has a voile gown—■** “It is voile. I heard her say last night Her nose Is like yours, too. only yours turns up a little bit more just at the end. And her hair 1s that same sunny shade of brown. Her com­ plexion Is a little muddy new, on ac­ count of the rheumatism, but when she is well her color Is as fresh and delicate as yours." “The eyes, nose and hair really have little to do with the selection of a be­ coming pattern. They are not hard to fit. it Is the figure that counts. If you could give me some idea of the height "She’s tall.” "Here is a pattern that I think would suit her. The skirt hangs In folds—” "Oh, that Is one of those balloony things with 16 drawstrings around the waist. I think they are beastly ugly. I swore when I left the hquse that I wouldn’t get one of them." “I have one of them on now. My friends think It rather becoming." "9tand back a minute and let me see. Yes, tnat does look nice, but then you would look charming In any­ thing." “Thank you. If you had only re­ membered to bring your wife’s meas­ urement* along—" “I have* them right here in my pocket. Waist. 2; hips. 44—a-a-hem. Seems to me that's a little more ro­ bust—" The girl clasped her hands at either side of her 21 waist "It is rather." she said, “but this style of dress is very popular. Every­ body wear* it" “All right. I’ll take It. What's the use of having a wife If you can’t dress her in style?” Eight hours later Danby sauntered Into his own sitting room and laid the pattern on the table. "Oh. you darling," cried Mr*. Danby. "You did relent and get me one of those full skirts, after all. This is « beautiful pattern. I always did say you had the best taste of any man tn the world." "Thanks," said Danby. "I think, myself.

In tho long forgotten ages, perhaps before primeval man set foot upon the sands of earth, forests were growing in Arizona, just as in some part* they are growing to-day, aays O. J. Muhlbacker, in the Arizona Magazine. But, by pre­ sumably volcanic action upon the earth's crust, they were laid prostrate. - and over them swept the seething, rush­ ing waters of an Immense inland sea. Again, this region, sunk below the sea level, was upheaved so high the mighty waters found no footing. Again a par­ tial depression made it a vast reposi­ tory of rivers that drained the high levels, and these great trees were buried deep beneath the sand and silt, which time hardened to rock. But the up­ heave! of ages after reversed this process, and the outgoing waters in their maddened rush constantly bore away this earthen covering, returning to the world the long buried forests of the ancient ages. But lo! the sybaritic chemistry of nature, the alchemy of thtf ages, had transformed them into crystals of hardest stone, sparkling in variegated color tints. Thus, to-day, the “Petrified Forest" is one of the wonder* of Arizona. CALI. OftNIA TOMATO PLANTS Three Months After Planting the Vines Climb to a Height ot Twenty Feet.

General Smith would gladly hare sent them forward we earnestly be­ lieve. but we now know that General McClellan desired that a general en­ gagement should not be brought on at that time. The following Incident connected with Ulis noble charge will be remembered by all who were at that time members of Smith's division and by hundreds who saw accounts of it in the* news­ papers of. the day. Private Wm. Scott of company K, 3rd Vermont, was, in the autumn of 1861, found asleep at.bis post on tbe picket line. It was a grave fault but the weary soldier inexperienced in the service and unaccustomed to such night vigils, in an evil hour yielded to the demands of tired nature, little dream­ ing that the lives of hundreds of his Our pickets were within speaking comrades were periled by his unfaith­ distance of those of the enemy; if pos­ fulness.

We at length became so accustomed to tbe continued skirmishing that un­ less the firing was in fierce volleys we took no notice of it.

Daring the thirty days of siege we had twenty days of rain Thundef- storms followed each other in tjulck succession, with lightning more vivid than we had ever seen st the north. Men lay down to rest with their equipments buckled about them, and wet to tbe skin could not endure such an exposure Thus, with their mindc wrought up to a continual state of excitement, with constant exposure to tempests and malaria, with excessive and ex­ hausting labors and with improper food and a scarcity of medicine, sick­ ness and death swept oyer us like a pestilence. At length after a month of toil, after losing nearly one-fifth of our magnifi­ cent army by disease and death, our batteries were finished, the enormous siege guns were mounted and the thirteen-inch mortars in position. The army looked anxiously for the grand finale of all these extensive prepar­ ations. Men had lost the enthusiasm which prevailed when we landed on tbe peninsula and a smile was seldom seen.. But a fixed and 'determined purpose to succeed still appeared on their faces. Now, at length we were ready 'and the countenances of the soldiers began to brighten up a little. But as lhe sun rose on ‘the morning of May 4th, 1862, the rebels had van­ ished and with them our hopes of a brilliant victory and a great success at Yorktown, Virginia. The rebel generals had shown they were unwilling to 'afford us such an opportunity by waiting for us longer and during the night of the 3rd and 4th they had evacuated tbe place. They had gained- a month of time for strengthening the defenses about Rich­ mond and for concentrating their forces there. -Now * they were ready to fall back without testing our mag­ nificent works and huge guns and led us Into the swamps along the Chicks hominy river, where they had hoped that tbe fever would complete the ghastly work already begun at York­ town. During the night of the evacuation the roar of artillery exceeded any­ thing that we had heard before. From one end of' the line to the other* tbe shells and shot poured into Our camps and tbe arches of fire that marked the courses of the shells with flame spouting from the mouths of the guns created a magnificent pyrotech­ nic display, but at daylight Maj- 4lh, .1862, orderlies flow from’ regiment to regiment with the startling intelli­ gence that the beleaguered works were deserted and with orders to occupy them at once? Such a wild rush I had never, witnessed before. I was on guard near the dam and .was among the very first to cross over at this part of our line. Smith’s di­ vision hastened to cross over the dam and w? found ourselves in tbe strong* holds that we bad so long invested Many of our men were killed in tbe streets and Intrencbments by tor­ pedoes which the enemy had planted in the town and about springs, bridges, deserted*guns, etc. These infernal machines were only one feature of the general plan of our enemies to carry on a war by brutal, savage and cowardly means. Tbe starving of prisoners and the whole­ sale butchery at Fort Pillow were other parts of the same savage plan which was crowned by the fearful tragedy at Ford’s theatre April 14, 1865. We made little delay among the rebel Intrencbments, only long enough to glance over the formidable works where tbe enemy had abandoned sev?nty-two pieces of artillery, mostly of ^.eavy calibre, with’ immense num­ bers of shovels, picks, wheelbarrows and other parapheralia of an army. Tbe division was at nine o’clock sent forward on the road toward Wil* liamsburgi encountering before it had proceeded far a portion of the rear guard of the Confederate army which hastily fell back before our advance. * (To be coatinued.)

The tone of the secretary of state s, crop report for July Is not sanguine Wheat is reported to be badly damaged by Hessian fly and rust and the editor of the report says It Is safe to predict that the crop will be below the average and that the berry will be of inferior quality. The estimated yield is from 12 to 14 bushels an acre. The weather during the first part of June was not favorable to corn and the crop has also been damaged by cut worms. Its con­ dition is placed at 86 per cent, of the average. The condition of beans is placed at 93 per cent., of potatoes 94 per cent., and sugar beets 85 per cent. The acreage of clover" to be harvested is placed at 84 per cent.; of timothy 9i> per cent., nnd the acreage of peas sown is 88 per cent, of the average. Fruit is not promising, the- report de­ clares. owing to the mildness of the winter, late frosts and insects. Corre­ spondents report a heavy drop of tree fruit during June. Winter apples will be a short crop and early apples an average. The prospect for the peach crop In the -tate is placed at 50 per National Guard Changes.

Horsemen and feed dealers of Lan­ sing and nearby towns have appeared as witnesses in the case of the Pratt Food company against Dairy and Food Commissioner Bird. From them the attorneys for the company have ob­ tained the testimony that the Pratt stock foods were bought as regulators or tonics, rather than a« food, support­ ing the contention that the company's products do not come within the mean­ ing of the law for th* regulation of the sale of comtnercla’. feeding stuffs. I road Company Starts Suit.. Alleging that. In contravention 4g the fourteenth amendment of tbs constitution of the United States, which forbids a state to .deprive any person of life, liberty or property with­ out-the due process of law, the as­ sessed valuation of its railroad prop­ erties in Michigan was raised from >550,000 to >1.800.000 without a faearng, the Wisconsin A Michigan Rail' •k*aa ’ commenced ........... — suit In oad" company he circuit court against Auditor Genral J. B. Bradley to have tbe valua­ tion and assessment of Its properties 'n bo fat as they, exceed >550.000 and, *9,522.53, respectively set aside It is ilfo asked that an injunction be issued restraining the auditor general from collecting >31,228.28, the arioirnt of taxes alleged to have betn wrongfully assessed against the complainant, and also from levying the tax by a sale of the railroad properties. Tbe complainant company states that oh January 15 the state board of assessors fixed Its' property valuation In Michigan at >550.000 and so in­ formed the management cf the road. The state officers were notified that the railroad company was satisfied, it is said; and that no hearing was wanted. The complainant alleges that the state board at its meeting on February 15 as a board of review raised the valua­ tion without giving a chance for a hearing to >1,800,000. and • the taxes from >9.522.53 to >31.828.28. The com­ pany states that it is ready and willing to pay the smaller tax and charges* that the larger tax is invalid, as it was made without a hearing and in con­ travention of both the state and the United States constitutions. Large Sum for State Auditors. For the first time the allowances of the board of state auditors for a year have passed the half-million mark. It is given out that the total for the fiscal year ending Jnue 30 was’ >521,550.12. Of this >422.216.33 Ir classed as gen­ eral. >36.763.21 went for printing. >26.750.57 for binding and >35,747.01 for stationery, including about . >27.000 worth of paper that was furnished the printer. One thing that has brought the amount up beyond the half-mil­ lion mark Is tbe payment of >60.000 to the United States government in rev­ enues* from the St. Mary's ship canal, which the courts have held was owing by this state. It is stated that the new state highway department, the law allowing circuit judges their ex­ penses in traveling and the' increased 'expenses of the dairy and food depart­ ment owing to the additional force of inspectors, have Is well aided to swell tbe total of wards. The year before the allowances aggregated >412,000, and for the year ending June 30. 1904, $488,000, Including the cost of a new roof for the capitpl. The highest sum previously expended In a year was >497.000, which was in 1901. when tbe state paid for a complete railroad ap­ praisal. — Saloon Ordinance Upheld. The decision of the supreme court upholding the validity of the Flint or­ dinance imposing a >500 license on sa­ loons, in addition to lhe state license, gives that city the power to tax saloons out of existence. Judge Ostrander says: "The power to license saloons In the city of Flint is expressly conferred by lhe charter. The exercise of that pow­ er by the passage and enforcement of the ordinance in question must be held to be for the purpose of regulation, and not for revenue, and must be sustained so far as the amount of the license bill Is concerned." Railroad Charge* Too High. The railroads have demanded, acting apparently in concert, one and one-half cents per mile on each way for trans­ porting the Michigan National guard to the federal encampment at Indian­ apolis In August, which would make the transportation cost >32.000, while the government appropriated only >20,00Q for this purpose. The state mili­ tary board has appealed to the Central Pasenger association for a modification of the rate and has notified the war de­ partment of the situation. Damage Verdict Affirmed. A judgment of >2,000 In favor of Wil­ liam A. Warren, an eight-year-old boy. against the Lansing Spoke company was affirmed by the supreme court.

PIERCE .(Copyright, by Joseph B. Bowles.) It was at the opera house that 1 first saw her. pn a grand night, when the carriages were full of swell folks, and the show at tbe door was as good as 'tother '‘inside. . She was dressed in a shiny cloak bordered with feathers, and where it fell back her gown showed shiny, too. Two other folks .were with her—a stout lady, with her head well up In the air, a tall, rair dude, who wore violets in his button-bole. The girl carried a bunch of violets, too. She looked like an angel. When I had sold out my papers and got a sandwich from the woman in the alley I sneaked back to the operh house door to see the show come out. Presently that girl appeared again, but with another ^man—a fat, dark party, who wore a blazing stone In his shirt front and mustaches twisted up at the corners. Tbe girl looked tired, and something seemqd to have gone amiss with her. I didn't see her again till the day she came to our court She and I got to be .first-rate friends. Many a hamper her coachman tugged up our rickety stairs, and mother and 'I never lacked for feod nor fire from that time out She was everywhere among the poor ct the district I be­ gan to think it must be mighty uflfpleasant business, too, for she got paler and sadder all tbh time. The weather turned cold and' there was snow, and the rich folks were sleighing in the park. So I thought If I went that way I might catch a glimpse of Miss Angel, and I did. “For whom are you looking, Bobby?" says she. "For you, Miss Angel." says I, and I came near letting out a yell of pure joy. 'Twas net own self. In a walking dress with fur on it and her hands thrust Into a bit of Ti muff. She wore violets again in her breast, and I smelled 'em, and they were sweet. But we didn't have a talk. She hadn't fairly settled herself on the bench with me when along came the fat dark man, with' the big stone In his shirt front. “I saw you from afar. Edith," says he; “pray, allow me.” And he just shoved me aside and squeezed himself down beside Miss Angel. "I'm glad to see you -ibroad again. Edith.' says he; “I called repeatedly during your Illness, but your servants refused to admit me." "They obey^S*fty orders." says Miss Angel, very cold and stiff like. “I see that you bear , me some grudge," says he. "Maybe It is about Dacre. Ah, he Is a sad dog — that Dacre!" “And who has helped Dacre In his downward way?" says Miss Angel; and her voice was unommon sharp. “Well, really. I don't pretend to know," says the tat man. “Some say it is that French actress. Bebe. and that she has a mysterious forest bow­ er at Hemlock HollowT'li few miles out of the city, to which Dacre makes frequent pilgrimages. 1' have reason to think the rumor true. Dacre is a great favorite with your sex. Then his fast male companions—" “Stop! It is contemptible, sir, to slander the absent! Dacres closest companion has been yourself, Col. Hay. To you he owes his financial ruin. As for the other charge." and she grew as white as chalk, "I’ll tell you frankly I do not believe a word of it Dacre is Lh«t victim of a crafty foe. who follows him in the guise ot a. friend." “My dear Edith," said the fat maq. "are you not a little unreasonable? I did not suspect you could wo sharply resent my honest statements. To b? sure, Dacre was once your lover, and you broke .the engagement because your father Insisted upon it” “You poisoned my father's mind against Dacre," says she, “and, being Ul. he believed all that you said." "You refuse to believe in his little errors? Wbll, here is a message which he gave me to wire not an hour ago.” He thrust a paper under her eyes. I didn't have on my company man­ ners, and I looked, too. This " is ' what ' I read: "I sail to-morrow for Australia, to begin life pver again. I must take Bebe with me; I cannot bear to leave her. Will come to-night.” “You have said enough!” says Miss Angel. "Leave me now. Col. Hay." His face grew black as thunder, but he got up from the bench and went away. She sat awhile, looking down at the ground: then Raj’s she: ."Bobby, if yon had a friend whom you had loved and trusted a long time, and you should see him lying by local application*, aa they cannot very low—perhaps in the dust at.your rearh tbe <H*e*sed portion of tbe ear.

He pointed straight before us into the darkness, “Does a woman named Bebe stop round there?" says I. "I never heerd tell of her," says he. I wasn't going to blab secrets, so I stuck my tongue’ Into my cheek and :made off as fast as my legs could carry me. The weather had turned killing ।cold. My teeth clicked faster than a telegraph.

Lawyers Point Out Evils of Prac­ tice in Personal Injury Litigation. “The most serious evil of modern practice." This Is tbe significant ver­ dict pionounced upon the present abuse of personal injury litigation. The words are used, not by the em­ ployers who suffer through this abuse, but by the Green Bag. a magazine pub­ lished by and for lawyers themselves. Practically the entire current number is devoted to this one subject. One of the writers, in discussing the notorious runners, tells ot a case In which the day after a street car colli­ sion 34 tfilts were brought from one office In favor of passengers. Drug stores and barrooms are subsidized; It is carefully noised abroad that so and so Is good for |25 dollars if a safe case is sent him. A case in most of our large citlea must wait at least two years before Lt reaches a jury. The cost of a trial la large, and since this must come out of the lawyer's pocket, unless a verdict Is won, he "makes the cases that he wins pay for those that he loses. Even a handsome verdict is pared down by counsel's and doctor's com­ missions, and the cost of trial to such an extent that a plaintiff would gener­ ally fare better If he had taken the bedside settlement offered by the claim agent of the insurance company.

A marriage recently celebrated oht In Wyoming in tbe "cattle country" was the culmination of an uncommon­ ly interesting romance of the plains. MIm Maud Crissman and RoTiert Fielding first met at the home of a common friend In New Orleans. Her beauty, wit and vivacity appealed to his fancy and touched his heart, while his handsome face, tine figure, ‘easy bearing and well-bred manner won her admiration. , They were excellent friends when they parted at New Orleans and the friendship tormsd had - ripened into Jove and ensued in an engagement within a week after they met later at Washington. Fielding insisted that Miss Crissman marry him at once, but bis proposal met with a fiat refusal. ‘‘No; you must ask my father's con­ sent to our marriage, else It can not take place." she said. Fielding wrote the cattle man a frank letter asking bls consent to their early marriage. But Mr. Crlssman flew into a towering rage at what he conceived to be the young’man's impertinence and presumption, and bis answer to Fielding's letter was scorching with Indignation and anger.

Finland, July 24.—Tbe carlain dropped Monday afternoon on the final act of thr drama of Russia's first parliament, when, under the spur of the threat of Gov. Rlchanberg to use military force to end' the session and with troops already converging on tbe Hotel Belvidere, where the meeting was held, the assembled members of the lower house, IB® in number,-hurriedly adopted and signed an address to the people which • is thoroughly revolutionary in its na­ ture, elected a perpetual executive committee headed by Prince .

Immediately after the governors announcement that the meeting must be stopped a detachment of Infantr? passed from the Hotel Belvedere tinging, to show that there are enough troops to carry ou the threat Of dispersal. Address is Radical. The address, which bears a remark­ able similarity to the manifesto­ framed by the council of workmen last November, which landed its au­ thors and the editors of eight St. Pe­ tersburg newspapers In cells of the fortress of SS. Peter and Paul, strikes the government in its most vul­ nerable point by declaring that the admlnistrailon and not parliament Is responsible for the delay in the settlement of the agrarian question and by proclaiming a cessation of payment of taxes and of military service and repudiation of future loans. Governor Cements Factions. Until the last moment it Seemed that the desire for unanimous adoption of the manifesto would be wrecked. There were sharp differences between the constitutional democrats and the revolutionists, the latter wishing to proclaim the house in perpetual ses­ sion and abrogate tbe allegiance of the people, while the constitutional democrats favored the declaration of a pacific general strike without resort to revolutionary measures - as a - pro­ test against the emperors dissolu­ tion of parliament The psychological moment which .changed the minds of the moderates was the arrival of Gov. Rechanberg with the curt demapd to disperse or take the consequences, when even the more conservative of the constitution­ al democrats such as M.

Alcohol for these purposes sells at wholesale to-day at about 20 cents per gallon and probably more Is used here than in any other country tor cooking. Illumination and motors. The industry is building up and may rival beet sugar in agricultural value. • It is a common sight in this coun­ try to see a tall chimney belonging to a farm distillery where a crop of po­ tatoes is turned into alcohol, the mash being used for feeding cattle and hogs. The emperor offered several prizes for the best alcohol burning ma­ chines. especially automobiles for army transport. His majesty himself once aatonished King Edward and a house party at Sandringham by super­ intending personally a demonstration of an alcohol burning cooking ap­ paratus.

Lansing.— The total number of deathz reported to tbe department of state For June .was 2,65ft, an Insroue of 256 over the. eom«;>»n-Jing month of 1905. but a deereiMH' of STT from May of thia year. The death rate was 12.5 par 1.000 population. Tubereuloala waa the most Important cause, claiming 22S vlrtims. Of the 207 deaths from accidents and violence, nine were caused by light?, tug and 54 from drowning.' Tetanus claimed foui victims during June, but none of the deaths resulted from the careleaf handling of explosives. There war one death from hydrophobia and one from smallpox. Births during June numbered 4,119. Primary Election Law. One of the proposed amendments tc the primary election law that some Lansing men believe would result in less hard work during a campaign re­ lates to the number of names that may be secured on the petitions of the can­ didates. A Umit might be placed on the number, tt hi suggested. The law requires that for a candidate to se cure the printing of his name on the primary ballot he must have a petition signed by a number of enrolled voters equal to two per cent, of the vote on governor iw the county or district In which he is a candidate. Thus, in Ingham county a i>erson wishing tc have his. name on the primary' ballot for a county office must have 106 sig natures. The suggestion is made that the requirement should be not less than two per cent, nor more than three per dent. This would fulfill the object of the law and the limit would restrain the candidates from making a mad. race for all the signatures theV could get. It would allow a numbei above that required to provide foi any who were found not to be enrolled or disqualified for other reason. In this county candidates for one office met and tried to form an agreement as to. the number of signatures they would get, but all could not agree and hll are now trying to secure as many written promises of support ae possible. An Interesting fact in con nectlon with the fight for signers tc nominating petitions for tlje variout offices has been brought to light by the filing of the petitions of some ol the candidates. On some of the petl tions other candidates have found names which also are signed on theii Indorsement sheets. Among the men who are guilty of this error are some of those most prominently connected with municipal affairs. It Is not known just what disposition will be made in such cases by the department of state, but probably either the namer will -be crossed off both petitions or the signature bearing the 'earliest date will be accepted. Augustus C. Carton Nominated. In the convention of the twenty eighth senatorial district at West Branch, Augustus C. Carton, of East Tawas, was nominated. In his speech of acceptance he pledged himself tc vote for an Improvement of the prl mary law and declared he was un pledged in the matter of a candidate for the United States senate. Sena tor Doherty, whom Carton will sue ceed was one of those to make speeches, and the nomination was unanimous. The candidate Is well known in Lanslhg. where he married He has served In the capitol in differ ent capacities, most recently in the land office, and Is a brother of forme: Speaker John J. Carton, of Flint. He Is the agriculturist of the Tawas Sugar company. Plaster Plaque of Great Seal Harry A. Conant, of Monroe. Unit rd States consul at Windsor and former secretary of state, has sent tc the department of state a plastei plaque of the great seal of Michigan It was used in the making of the bronze tablet for the monument erect ed under authority of a recent legis lature on the site of the massacre of the River Raisin, and was secured through the courtesy of Lloyd Broth era, the makers of the monument. Mr Conant -says he was careful that the exact specifications of the seal should be executed in the monument, and tc that end he searched the archives in the department at Lansing. Bon Sues Mother. The giving of a quit claim deed con veying his home in Lansing, valued at 11,200, to his mother, is the basis of a suit begun by Kearney Otis against Mrs. Katherine Moses, of Marshall The latter claims a half interest as an heir of the late Louise Thompson, but Otis declares he gave the property tc his mother without consideration, on the understanding that it would be re conveyed to him. which he asks the probate court to do. Had Forgotten Husband's Face. . Mrs. Grace Berry, while on tbe stand in the Ingham circuit court in the caw in which she sued Eugene Berry for a divorce, pointed to a lone man In one of the rear seats of the room as the. one from whom she wished to be freed.. Tbe young man reddened under the charge of being a recreant “hubby," and protested that be was not Eugene Berry. Although Mrs. Berry had the support of her brother. Mrs. Martha Breasaw, and a friend,1 Lydia Simmons. In this contention, the young man gave such an account of himself that Judge Wiest and the woman's-attorney accepted his1 state­ ment. Mrs. Berry had not seen her husband for two years. .Judge Wiest granted the divorce on the grounds of non-support, but refused .to allow her to assume her maiden name, saying that if she could not remember the face of her husband she should have tbe name in order to remember that she had once enjoyed marital rela­ tions. Dairy Prizes Awarded. The first award of prizes In- tbe edu­ cational scoring contest conducted by the state dairy and food department ■has been made by Deputy Commission­ er Colon C. Little. The contest cov­ ered the last jfeven months of last year. In the bntter department Frank Jankoskl, of Wayland, is awarded the gold medal, and S. M. Mlles, of Bu­ chanan. the stiver medal for the second highest score. Almon Powell, of Wil­ lard, received the gold medal for cheese, and H. P. Fitzpatrick the sil­ ver medal. Diploma^ have been issued to about 90 butter and cheese makers whose average score waa over 93 per cent. Father Exercises Authority. Off to the farm where the haying season is On Miss Lila Galvin was taken by her father after a scene at the home In Lansing In which the young woman's'husband figured. .The latter's advance on the house from the front was repulsed by the father, and from the woodshed of the neighboring house he .later took fip a position to entreat the girl to elope with him. The mother fainted and the father be­ came angry and soon was beaded to­ ward the country with the daughter, while the whereabouts of the young man were lost to the view of the neighbors. Railroads Given Privileges. After a hearing Railroad Commis­ sioner Atwood granted an order al­ lowing the Benton Harbor-8L Joseph Traction .company to build a subway under the Pere Marquette and cross two sidings of the Michigan Central at grade at St. Joseph. This permits the traction company to k reach the Gra­ ham '& Morton dock. A temporary grade crossing of the Jackson Consol­ idated Railroad company and the Michigan Central at Francis street in Jackson was allowed, but tbe Con­ solidated company must construct an overhead crossing within six months. Think Father Took Boy. Christian Gang, a nlne-year-old boy, whose parents have separated, is miss­ ing from the place where he was be­ ing cared for. and it is alleged he was taken by bls fc.ther, who had been de­ nied the custody of the children after a hearing In the circuit court on a writ of habeas corpus. Pending the divorce suit the children were to be cared for by others. The father is also claimed to have made an effort to se­ cure possession of his daughter. Two Senators to Hear From.

The first feature is, interest is computed quarterly, which Is a great advantage to persons who need the income from their savings more frequently than once inslx months. If interest is not with­ drawn It is compounded and added to the principal every three months. The second attractive feature is that any portion or the entire amount on deposit maytbe withdrawn without notice. This especially commendsitself to persons who are saving their mon­ ey to buy a home, or for some other purpose, and who are likely to need their money quickly. Accounts in any amounts-are receiv­ ed from $1 upward. The opening of a savings account is the first step to the ac­ cumulation of a fortune, and it Is surprising how such an account will grow by the cultivation of the habit of regularly laying aside a portion of one's earnings against future needs.

The tremendous question of church and stage is about to be raised, as it has never been before in* Nashville. Gordon & Bennett's * company will produce at the Nashville opera house, on Wednesday evening. August 8th, a play dealing with the life of our Lord. The play is called the “Holy City”, and is by Clarence Bennett, a jour­ nalist. It is in blank verse. The principal characters are Mary Magdalen; Barannas, described as a Jewish patriot: Judas Iscariot, Juda* Pontius Pilate, Calaphas, the High Priest'; Peter and John, the disciples; Lazarus and Zacharias; Elizabeth, mother of John the Baptist; King Herod and hie daughter: the Princes® Salome and twenty other imaginary characters complete the cast. Them are four acts and a total dramatic person:*.' of forty people. Briefly stated, the story of the play ,1s as follows: Mary of Magdala is be­ loved of Barannas and Is also the favorite of Calaphas. Act One finds’ Barannas, who is hunted by the Roman soldiers: Ma­ rius, a Roman Captain: Silenus, a dissipated Roman; Judas Iscariot and a number of women, all met in Mary's house for pleasure. The subject is raised of the wondrous Nazarene and His reported miracles. By accident Mary knocks a vase into the. street where the Lord and His followers are preaching and healing the sick. En­ raged, Simon Peter and a mob break into Mary's house and Peter upbraids he. for her evil life, at the same time telling her of the death of her brother. Lazarus. The act closes with the con­ version of the Magdalen, after a fierce struggle with the fascination of her old life. She looks out. a strong light indicates that Christ.has turned His pitying gaze upon her, and the curtain falls upon her in prayer. Act Two takes place in the court­ yard of Martha's home. Here within the house the Lord is visiting. Mary, poorly clad and penitent, returns to her home and is struck with wonder­ ment to And Lazarus raised from the tomb. She enters the house and anoints the head of Christ- with pre­ cious-ointment. Returning, her exalta­ tion has reached such heights that she cures Zacharias of blindness by say­ ing that the Lord has so commanded her. Hither comes Barannas who re­ news bls frenzy of love. He is en­ raged when Mary tells him that she will follow the Nazarene. Barannas is taken by the Romans and the act closes with the betrayal of.Christ. Act Three deals with the judgment of Pilate, the denial of Peter and the release of Barannas and the order for the crucifixion. Act Four tells the story of the Lord's death—the thunders and earth­ quake and the rending of the veil of the temple. Judas goes mad and hangs himself. The curtain falls on the grandest portrayal of the Inspir­ ing spectacle—a complete allegorical reproduction of the crucifixion by Michael Angelo. Act Five shows the Garden of Joseph of Arlmathea, and the sacred tomb. The various characters of the plav pass and repaaa throughout the scene. The Great Ljght shines—the Roman soldiers fall on their faces: Calaphas comes la forboding and finds the tomb empty; an angel ap­ pears aud announces that the Lord » risen; Mary comes and tells how she has seen Christ again, and Bar­ annas is converted. The final curtain falls amid, the strains of “The Holy City’’ and the ascension of Christ and the angels. GAYE TRUST DEED. Frank McDerby Takes this Method of Protecting Creditors. The people of Nashville and vicinity were greatly surprised on Friday last to learn that Frank McDerby had decided to go out of business and had given to L. J. Wilson as trustee a trust deed of his property to be dis­ posed of and bis business affairs closed up. The report that he had made an assignment In bankruptcy was au error which gained some circulation, but such was not the case. Mr. McDerby is undoubtedly solvent and it is altogether likely that he will have something to the good besides his home when matters are straightened up as the tangible assets will foot up some­ thing over 810,000 while the liabilities are in the neighborhood of 814,1*00. Mr. Wilson is in charge of the stock of groceries and shoes, an inventory pf which is now being taken, and the bus­ iness will be carried on as usual un­ til a purchaser can be secured for the stock of goods, which ought not to require a long time as the stocks are in good shape and the location one of the best in town. Mr. McDerby expects to retire from active business for the present and take a rest which be sorely needs after his many years of strenuous business life. He has many friends In Nashville and the surrounding couutrv who will hope to soon see him get affairs straightened up and get back into the harness again. ______ __________ Street Commissioner Woodard with a gang of men has completed the grading of Stair street between Sher­ man and Washington streets and Maple street between State and Main streets, and new crosswalks are now being put In. The work makes these streets look much better and now if property owners will give their prem­ ises the proper attention that part of Stale street will soon becorae-as pretty as many other places in the village. .

Dr. Kennedy instituted suit in chancery charging that the members of the board were prejudiced and that the new section of the law re­ ferred to was unconstitutional. His bin was dismissed in'the lower court and this decision the supreme court now sustains. Agreeing with the trial judge that the testimony utterly failed to sustain the contention of prejudice, the court gave itself up to the consid­ eration of the validity of the law. Dr. Kennedy’s reason's were based on the assumption that the revocation of a license is an exercise of judicial pow­ er. “All of complainant's objection to the constitutionality of the law are •completely answered by saying that this assumption is unfounded," the ■court declares. Dr. Beverly D. Harri­ son. secretary of the state board of registration in medicine, says that the Kennedy case will probably be taken up again when the board resume* Its sessions In October. "We shall proba bly resume the taking of evidence, in which we were Interrupted by the temporary injunction.” said the doctor, "and we shall'be able to consider per­ haps 20 more cases that have been re­ ported to us.

The county canvassers' statement*, on file with Secretary of State Pres­ cott, show the extent to which the new primary election law will be ap­ plied. in 69 of the 83 counties the Re­ publican* will_____ yot® on ___the nomination of congressman, and the Prohibition1st* will make use of the law in the Seventh district, comprising six coun­ ties. for the naming of their congresatonal candidate. In Macomb county a primary muat be conducted In every voting precinct to allow the Prohibi­ tionists to vote on their candidate for congress, and no other party having elected to nominate Its county ticket or any other candidates by the direct voting method. The Republicans will nominate their county officers in 48 counties, the Democrats in eight the Prohibitionists in three, and the So­ cialists in one. The Republicans have decided to elect 36 representatives by direct voting, and the Democrats five. The Republicans in 11 senatorial dis­ tricts voted for the new method, the Democrats in one, and the Prohibi­ tionists in two. Four counties had primary election laws previously, namely.4 Wayne, Kent Muskegon and Alpena. These should be added to the list of counties where all parties will nominate their tickets by direct vote.

Case Will Establish Precedent. The supreme court reversed the case of Metiva Coyneneau against the Muskegon Traction & Lighting com­ pany. The plaintiff sued the company for injuries done her by one of the cars of the company. The circuit judge was of opinion she -did not make a case afid directed a verdict for the defendant.

Just Right Barty We other morning, soma one breathed a tale Into the ears of .the village about a marvelous trout on ex­ hibition at the home of Will White, and the male population, who love fish­ ing and despise liars climbed the long hills towards Mr. White's home to ex­ amine the rumor and the trout. •'Oh® of Bill’s boys told me the trout weighed as much as a small ham. aud wab to long he couldn't turn In the creek without backing up and curving his tall like a carpet beater,” a fat man said, as he climbed over a barbed wire fence, leaving his cost tails as relics consigned with appropriate language.

This unpleasant trouble is due to a diseased condition of the kidneys and bladder and not to a habit as most people suppose. .

It is sold by druggists,-in fifty- _, icent and one-dollar size bottles. You may have a sample bottle by mail free, also a Bare ot Rwaav Sms pamphlet telling all about Swamp-Root, including many of the thousands of testi­ monial letters received from sufferers cured.

Hately, not John Alexander-Dowle or Wilbur Glenn Vottva, is to control the Zion CUy properties. Ju^ge Landis Friday named Mr. Hately receiver of the Zion industries. He Is to oversee the business end of Zion tor up indefinite period. The court ordered an election the third Tuesday in September to select a general overseer to control tbe religious activities ot Zion. ■ Given In Trust to Dowle. Thus ended the great controversy over Zion. Moneys and ladds given to John Alexander Dowle were given in trust. That was the essence of the decision. The judge declared the eouveyance of property by Wilbur Glenn Vollva under power of attorney to be vofd. He quoted from writing, at Dowle to show that the latter had always regarded the property as a trust and In ending declared that ade; quate compensation would be provid­ ed Cor Dowie by the court at some later .time. The court held that the transfer of Zion City by Vollva and his power of attorney from Dowie to Granger was not worth the paper it was written upon. . Millions Involved In Decision. Judge Landis* sweeping decision sets at rest the controversy growing out of the action of Overseer Vollva in transfering the properties of Zion freon John Alexander Dowle to’.Gran­ ger. Millions are involved, and all Zinn-, throughout the world, has breathlessly awaited the decision.

July 30.—Twc yachts coming in from the fishing banks capsized on Hereford Inlet bai off here Sunday and so far as can be ascertained ■ eight persons lost their Ilves. There were 38 persons on one yacht, of whom seven were lost, and 12 on the other, all of wham but one were saved. That npt more fell vic­ tims to the rough sec was due to the heroism of Capt. Henry S. Ludlow, of .the Hereford inlet life saving station, and a crew of five men. It was at first thought that from 14 to 28 per­ sons had been lost. The weather In the morning was idea! and all the fishing boats took out large crowds to the fishing banks. After noon, however, a brisk breeze sprung up’ and the captains of the small craft hoisted sail and started for home. Most of the fleet got in without mishap, although some of them had considerable difficulty in clearing the Hereford bar. The two that got Into trouble were the sloop yacht Nora, which had on board Capt. Herbert Shivers, his mate and 30 passengers, and the sloop Al­ vin B. with a party of 12. The Nora- had gone to the fishing banks at Five Fathom bank about ten miles out to sea early in the day. When the wind began to freshen Capt. Shivers decided It was time to make port and with the assistance of a small gasoline engine iknd a good spread of canvas he made good time toward Anglesea. As the sloop bowled along the wind was getting stiffer and the sea rougher. Capt. Shivers, from long experience, knew how treacherous Is the .Hereford'' bar and approached it with bls caution. The sand obstruction Is about a mile from shore. Just as he was about to go over It a heavy squall struck the-Nora. Despite the efforts of the captain the craft heeled over and was hit by a huge*. wave. Tbe wind and tbe wave coming together was more than the yacht could stand and it turned completely over throwing the 32 oc­ cupants into the sea. WHOLE BATTALION IN MUTINY Loyal Troops Fire on Those Who Re­ sist Arrest of Comrades. Poltava, Russia. July 30.—A grave outbreak occurred Saturday in the Sevskl regiment, following the arrest of a private of the First battalion, who was discovered with some other sol­ diers la a shed where the revolution­ ists are In the habit of holding meet­ ings. After the arrest the entire First bat­ talion, accompanied by a large crowd, paraded the streets In defiance of the military authorities. The soldiers pro­ ceeded to the artillery barracks, where they seized several guns and marched with them to the prison where the po­ litical prisoners are confined. At this stage all the remainder of the Poltava .garrison was called out. The loyal troops fired on the mutineers with machine guns as they were en­ gaged 4n breaking down the gate of the prison. Several men were killed or wounded. The outbreak was not suppressed until two o'clock Sunday morning. ROCKEFELLER GLAD TO BE HOME Oil King Pleased to Return to America After Visit to Europe. Dr. Message, physician, boxing devo­ tee and admirer ot canines, came down Clerk street, towing a burly brindled builpup and wearing the countenance of a man entirely at peace with the world and all upon Its vast circumference. CapL Wboiman. artillery officer, befrpeked of coat, becapped of cranium, aad martial of mustaehios. came up the grreet and greetings were exchanged. "Captain,’* quoth the doctor, “I have some business in this building and the dog hates riding in elevators. Would you mind holding him till I come down? I won’t be gone a minute.” “Why, frith pleasure,” said the son of Mars, gripping the steering chain. “I'll take good care of him.” The doctor vanished.and the cap­ tain. backing over to the curb, stood holding the bullpup with one hand and twisting that dear mustache with the other. A moment liter a portly man in a fur-lined coat halted at the cap tain's side. •'Fine dog." -Yep." “Wihatchu want for him?" -Not for sale." "Then whatchu holding - him here for?" The captain gave the fur-lined one a martial glance and 'bo faded Into the distance. As he went a fat woman stopped in front of the dog. "Isn’t he just too lovely? Does 1ms want to be pettums? Lovely oggy dog­ gy—I just kissumss to death—" Tbe d» growled and sprang, and the captain hauled In on the chain just in tSsi* to save the fnt woman's life. x A tall, thia man with a somewhat uncertain footing patted tbe dog's thin neck. ' "Give you 825 for him." ."He.Isn't my dog." ____ < “Oh, I see. The owner sells you with the dog." The captain fumbled madly for his sword, but the tall man was on his Way. • "What's the price?" This from a man with a red beard. . The’captain froze him—or tried to .—with an Icy stare. "I mean for the dog. ndt for you." "Ten thousand dollars," roared the captain. "Give you 75 cents." The captain swung, but the redbearded man was fifty feet away. A group ot brilliantly attired women slacked up tn their gait, , * "Isn't that a shame, Maudle?" "What, dear?" "To see such a handsome, distin­ guished looking gentleman reduced to having to act as groom for a dog. And what a funny uniform." The captain scowled, the dog growled and the women departed. Two minutes later the dog tried to eat a policeman, and the officer said some­ thing about people who couldn’t con­ trol a white mouse having no business on the streets.’ Then the dog tried to start a fight with another dog out in the street and managed to tie his chain three times round the captain's shins. • By this time a large and critical crowd had assembled and everybody had something new and original to say. And just as the captain was wish­ ing seven forms of sudden death for the doctor the physician appeared, bland and happy, still at peace with all the world. "So glad you held him for me, cap­ tain." said the doctor.' ."He does hats to ride tn the elevators so!" Tarrytown. N. Y„ July 30.—John D. Rockefeller, accompanied by his wife and John D.

Tbe superintendent of the schools of Batavia, N. eY., has apparently solved one of the most vexing ques­ tions which have to do with modern education. It la a realization of the Peatalozxlan theory that each pupil has a right to be educated personally for what he can best achieve. For many years it has been charged against the public school system that the standards were set for the clever pupils to tbe detriment of the back­ ward and dull ones. If tbe "Batavia experiment," as it is called, proves after long trial to do what it is hoped it will then primary education will be infinitely bettered. Mr. Kennedy, tbe originator of the scheme, proposed to the governing board of Batavia to procure the serv­ ices of an extra teacher for each room whose duty it should be not to listen to recitations, but to help and encourage any pupils who were fall­ ing behind the class. It wm to be entirely a work of sympathy and de­ manded great tact and discernment The plan wm tried in a single room and the result was so marked in both pupils and teachers that the experi­ ment hu spread rapidly and is being introduced in all the better schools in the United States. Its value can not be overestimated. The teachers are stimulated to'do less nagging, while the pupils themselves are relieved from going beyond their ability and strength. And the effect on health of the children was also marked. No books were taken home for night study and six times the number of pupils remained to gradu­ ate from the high school. . toria..

According to the latest report of th* Peasants' bank the average rent per desiatin rose in 12 years from 39 rubles to 108 rubles.

There was a time when none would ■peak of the horror which came upon tbe world; but now that three years have passed men talk about it openly and ask one another what It was and how it happened. It was on the afternoon of the twenty-second of June. 1950. I hurrying down Broadway. It w hot, bright day anu I was shading my eyes to look across the street, when suddenly the sun went out. I thought : was smitten with blind­ ness and flung up my arms and gave a great cry. 1 heard the beginning of it Then ali sound stopped. The rumble of vehicles, the scurry of feet,the cries of the street venders, the shouts of tbe newspaper boys—all the hum of life—ceased In an instant. I thought at first that I had died; but I could feel my limbs; feel my lips moving as I cried for help; feel the vibration of the traffic that I could not hear. "I am blind I*** I shouted. "Blind! And deaf! Hold me, some one— Some­ one! " , I heard no call, ana no answer. I groped wildly in the darkness; and met other bands that were groping too. I seized some one by the shoulder, And others seized me. Their bands twitched convulsively. They were crying V>ut ns I was.* I knew by touching their open mouths and faces contorted with fright. It is possible that I fainted, but was held up on my feet -by the pressure of the crowd, for 1 seemed to lose myself for a time and to come back to myself in a swaying, clutching mass of un­ seen, unheard people. I felt sick and almost suffocated, and tried vainly to push my way out, till the crowd was scattered by a plunging horse which brushed against me as it passed. 1 took a few hurried steps and found myself somewhere-^-alone! I was more Just Right Shoes afraid of the loneliness than I had been of the crowd. Presently when 1 had gone some way two hands ciulched my legs. They were such small hands that I did not fear them greatly. I stooped down, and felt a small"child lying on the lap of a woman. The woman’s hair was loose and hanging over'her face. I thought she'was young. She shivered at my touch, but I sat down beside her. She laid my hand on tbe child as if she appealed to me for help. I felt its mouth moving, as if it cried for some­ thing. I invented an alphabet and spelt out a message with taps upon her shoulder; one tap for A, two for B, and so on, but she put my hand to* her head to feel that she shook it. I could tell by the way she held my hand that she did not.mean to refuse my friend­ ship. but to show that she could not understand my signs. 1 plucked at her sieeve to rise and come with me. and she came. She was scarcely able to stand, so 1 took the child from her and carried it She felt the texture of my clothing carefully and my scarf and watch chain and even my hankerchief. She evidently wanted to know what man­ ner of man I was. Apparently she was satisfied, for she held gently to my sleeve when she bad finished her In­ spection. After a few minutes' I took her band and tried my alphabet again; and this time she understood and answered. This was the conversation, spelt out slowly, letter for letter: I. F-r-i-e-n-d. She.

I offered him money, but he refused. "N-o-u-s-e-,” he tapped. “E-n-d o-l w-o-r-l-d.” We bad a good meal and lay down to sleep in an Inner room. In the morning—if it were morning —when we awoke we found a basket. was a very intelllgdat lady and under­ stood our writing. "It is Union Square,” she wrote; "1 am looking for my eon. He went out for some provisions and has not come back. Have you met him?” "No,” I answr" " anywhere?” "My bouse," offered, and took us there. We stayed with _ Their name was Roberta, and they were a very p*easant family. We learned to know them all by touch, to find our way.all $>ver the house, and even to do work in the dark. But Alice wanted to get to her fam­ ily, and I offered to take her. So on the third day we .took a stock of pro­ visions and started off together. We left tbe baby whom Alice had hap­ pened on by chance, with Mrs. ivoberts. (She afterward adopted him, as his parents were never found.) We .lost ourselves In the first few minutes and could not find anyone who could understand our signs and direct us. After a long time we found a "shel­ ter” and concluded that we were in a park. We could not find-the way out. Alice wrote on my cheek, "Very cold, hungry, tired, frightened." She want­ ed to sit down, but we -were shivering already, and 1 dared not stop moving till we found a heap of small leafy branches cut from the trees. We sat down and walked alternately. Then I slipped into some water, about three feet deep—1 guessed a pond. We drank greedily, and I wrung the water out of my clothes. Then we crawled away to a seat and fell into a sleep or stupor. 1 was roused by Alice shaking walked forth to find th« world, band Id hand. it was Central park, and tbe people gave us food and drink; and In an hour we reached her home. '• That is the end of my story of the dark days that men lost. You know as well as I that the astronomers reckon that they were seven;.and say that tbe darkness aud deafness were -due to our passing through an ether­ ises space which stepped light, and. in some way wbicb they cannot explain, deadened the sound vibration* of the sir. Sometimes 1 think that the days of darkness were not in .vain; and last night 1 almost wished them back. ’ I was leaving Alice's house, and saw me to. the door m usual. We have always loved one another as a man and a child may love,, and now she has ceased to be a child, and does her hair up in a golden knob. 1 think her very beautiful. We had just reached the door when suddenly the electric light went out. She gave a sharp cry, and In a moment she was in my arms— .Then I lifted her face and wrote with my finger on her cheek: . "I love you—love you— love you!” She did hot speak, but pressed my hand upon her face to feel her smile— the smile that lit my heart in the dark days.

"The end,” 1 wrot*. "Good-bye.” And suddenly the black waves pass­ ed and the world sprang upon us out of the dark! It was a bright day. and the sky was blue. Alice grasped my arm till her fingers hurt. We turned to one another and saw—strangers! Alice has never told me what she expected to see and what she saw, and I have never told her; but I think she expected to discover a handsome, wellgroomed young gentleman, and 1 know that I had thought of her as a dark­ haired. dark-eyed, rosy-cheeked, pret­ tily dressed girl of 20. She found a creature who looked like a tramp; a bent, unkempt, unshaven ruffian, who migb’ have been 40. I saw a fair­ haired. blue-eyed, white-faced, travelstained—child! For she whom I bad taken for the lady of my dreams was but a tall schoolgirl of 15! We sat and stared at one another. Our lips trembled when we tried to speak. 1 think we should have hurt one another if we bad spoken, but the woman’s heart In her childish body saved everybody. She took my hand and. wrote on it slowly. "Friend! Kind friend!" And then I took her hands in mine and spoke. My voice was hoarse with thirst and weakness. ! "God bless you, dear!" I said.

HOW THE HIVE ENTRANCE IS CLOSED. ■wide; tor the three-quarter Inch en­ trance one and ose-half Inches. The strips are next bent Into shallow troughs (Fig. 2> by placing them lengthwise between two straight-edged boards and letting half their width ex­ tend out to be bent down by the use of another board. Ou closing the entrances, simply lay one of these strips down oil the bot­ tom-board with its curved ’ back" in the entrance, and. by means of a pleec of section box (Fig. 4) push It into place about half wny under tbe end of the hive so it will be in position as In Fig. X This finishes the Job. The strips are easily pushed in but not out The sharp projections of the cross­ wires of these strips will "stick" into the wood above aud below, and form a “truss" In such a wny that, the more pressure Is put Behind It. the finer the grip will be in the wood. It takes “quite a pull“ to remove them when releasing the bees. The point of a pocket-knife Is inserted at one end. then pryed out; and the screen is caught by the thumb and pulled out with a hard, quick jerk. There fs no danger of these* entrance-closers being pushed In or torn off en route, as they are completely hidden out of the wny. Mr. Jones has shipped bees closed in this way ‘in- ft car several hundred miles without* any trouble. When shipping out- mill lots of nuclei he fixed them in this way also. Care should be taken not to get the strips too wide- or- ttte "teeth* will not stick Into the wood: They are simply Inex­ pensive- requiring but Tittle wire cloth, and no strips of lath or nails; besides the time^ required in the preparationof many of* the- entrance-closers new in use. UNBALANCED RATTONS. Effect* Easily ITbtad on tbe Egg* and the Hbn—Weed of Thought Here. If* we> examine the body- of a hen we fPntl fat; Ittin meat and bone, says James A. Rice, of Cornell. If we ex­ amine the food that she eats we dis­ cover, in wheat, for example, that te contains starch and oil (the carbo­ hydrates or fat-forming material). Which is the- fat of the grain aad which, when eaten hy the animal, gpes to make heat, energy and fat. We see also, littl grains of gluten, which might be called the lean of tho grain and which, when utilized by the animal, make thn lean meat We further find the mineral matter (tbe ash) which might be called the bone of the wheat and which, when assimilated by tho animal, makes bone and egg-shell. Therefore it Is easy to understand why R is that when food Is drflcient tn lime and other mineral matter the eggs ire soft-shelled; why a ration de­ ficient in protein produces weak, spindling chickens, or a ration contain­ ing an nxcezs of easily digestible car­ bohydrate matter causes the fowl to become excessively fat. Thus we see the necessity of having properly balanced rations which sim­ ply means that there must be a proper­ ly balanced relationship between tho food nutrients in the ration in order to produce a perfect animal or a perfect sgg. Is it any wonder, then, that a hen whose body contains 21 pe*- cent of protein, and whoee egg contains more than 14 per cent of tho sameAHitriant. will fail to grow welpaf to lay satis­ factorily when her food ia deficient in this particular material, or any other that her body requires? 8ir Edwin Arnold’s Eloquent Descrip­ tion of the Impression Made by the First Sight of the Wondsrful Capi­ tal of Anoient Russia.

Has Many people find that bad weather brings on a dull pain In tbe back, as rheumatic aching, neuralgia, nervous­ ness, Irritability and weakness. If, when you get wet or take cold, it "settles on tbe kidneys," and there is a shivery, chiily sensation in the back, it shows kidney weakness, which is often tbe beginning of diseases Doan's Kidney Pills should be used persistently until the flow of urine is natural ahd the chilly feeling gone. Doan's Kidney Pills have saved much suffering. Charles Schott of 617 Fourth ave­ nue, Ann Arbor, Mich., says: "There is no doubt In my mind as to the excellent properties and high merits of Doan’e Kidney Pills, and unhesi­ tatingly recommend their use to any one requiring a remedy for kidneys, believing they will always fulfill the claims made for them. From the re­ sult of a cold settling in my kidneys, I was for a long time troubled with a heavy aching pain through my loins. At limes it was so severe that I could scarcely bend and could hardly rest comfortably in any position. I noticed Doan's Kidney Pills recommended by parties who used them, so I procured a box, snd took them I used them but a very few days when the pain disap­ peared." For sale by all dealers.

Side Features of Reunion. Monday was the first day of the fortieth annual encampment of the 'Grand Army of the Republic, which is to continue throughout the week, and despite the fact that the soldiers are so rapidly lessening ji» numbers. It promises to be one of the most suc­ cessful ever held. Aside from - the encampment itself, there will be an­ nual meetings of the many affiliated societies, such as the Woman's Relief Corps, Ladles of the Grand Army, Daughters of Veterans, and an al­ most infinite number of military or­ ganizations. Tbe social events, planned for the entertainment of the old soldiers and their wives, are many and elaborate. The first reunion of the day was that of the First Minnesota volun­ teers, which, Its survivors say, was the first body of men to offer Its serv­ ices for the war. The veterans met at the soldiers' home near Minnehaha falls, and-there were present about one-half as many men as the regi­ ment lost In ten minutes at Gettys­ burg The Fifteenth Wisconsin also met during the day-, and the first ses­ sions of the Women's Relief corps was held in Wesley church. Reception to Commander. Monday night the chief social events were a reception in honor of the Daughters of the American Revo­ lution at the home of Mrs. H. H. Kimball, and a similar event tendered by the St. Paul posts of the Grand Army to Commander Tanner, at the state capitol. A great patriotic con­ cert was given In the Auditorium. The political aspect has been mild thus far. as none of. the candidates for the honor of being the next com­ mander of the organization has ar­ rived. The contest Is expected to grow warm during the next 24 hours, how­ ever. The leading candidates are CapL P. H. Coney,• of Toieka, Kan.; R. B. Brown, -of Zanesville. O., and Charles G. Burtou. of Missouri. There Is no contest for any of the lesser of­ fices. * LINCOLN’S WELCOME TO BRYAN UNLESS CURED cbllky to Get Labor and Cash.

Chicago, Aug. 13.—At a meeting at Shiloh house In Zion City, attended by 150 persons, John Alexander Dowie, the deposed apostle of the Christian Catholic Church of Zion, took occasion to denounce Judge Lan­ dis tor the manner In which he had settled up Zion affairs, and In an ex­ cited harrangue, accused the jurist of telling a falsehood. “I do not know why Judge Landis made the decision he did,” said Dowie. “He says that 1 and all that have ta­ ken the restoration host vow are guilty of treason to the United States. That Is a rank falsehood, and I want him to know that I say so." When Dowie classed the jurist’s declaration as a falsehood the audi­ ence of faithful followers cheered and clapped their hands. Several times during the meeting, when Judge Lan­ dis’ name was mentioned, there were hisses and groans. ' ■ The Scientific Method. "George Bernard Shaw," s editor, “likes to poke fun at scientists.

The railroad men of this country are good and patriotic citizens; they are representative members of the com­ munities In which they reside: they stand for a class of workingmen who generally think before they act, who weigh both sides of a question before deciding. They are as anxious to cleanse corporate life from graft and favoritism as the most radical modern reformer, but they will resent, and that most strenuously, any course of I policy outlined by those who have the: destinies of the nation In hand that will tend to ’’kill the goose that lays the pay check."—Railroad Employee.

It Is stated that the estimate of the money needed by the Russian govern­ ment for aid to the famine-stricken provinces would amount to nearly >40,000,000 this year. The peasants are starving, partly in consequence of lack of land to cultivate, partly because of specially bad crops this year. Mean­ while the rent of land Is steatflly ris­ ing. According to tbe latest report of ths Peasants* bank the average rent per deslatln rose In 12 years from 39 rubles to 108 rubles. No wonder that the cry of the peasants is for “land and liberty.” And the only reasonably fertile land remaining, is that of pri­ vate owners, the public domain being mostly swampy or forest land.

My Dear Sir: 1 should be glad to have you publish the following, which states my position regarding the elec­ tion of a United States senator: I am absolutely unpledged to any candidate for United States Senator. Any statement to the contrary is false. Then* is no question but that all the I men whose name* have been an| nounced as candidates for this post­ ' lion, have friends in Eaton and Barry Counties, My personal choice of those so thrannounced is Hon. Charles E Townsend of Jackson, but notwith-’ standing this I am ready to and intend to vote for that candidate whom tee Republicans of Eaton and Barry Counties wish. If it be Arthur Hill, '■shall vote fqr him: If it be William Alden Smite, I shall vote for him, । if it be Charles E. Townsend, I shall gladly vote for him, If It be WilliamC. McMillan, I shall vote for him. Public opinion may change in the next five fiionlh* and I will not be the tool of any senatorial candidate or be controlled by any set or faction of men. My friends know this. I am very much mistaken if the only qualification for a member of the state senate is ability to vote for a United State* senator. There are other duties fully a* imoortant ar this. Never, In my recollection, has a senator from Eaton and Barry coun­ ties voted for a United State* senator in direct opposition to tee wishes of a majority of his party constituents and I do not intend to violate this happy precedent. If I am nominated and elected I shall, to tee best of my ability, REPRESENT tee people of this District, not mis-represent them. I am in favor of tbe election of United States senators by direct vote of the people. ' Sincerely yours, Karl D. Keyes. GOOD WAY TO DO BUSINESS. When one can buy gold dollars for fifty cente, it is a good time to pur­ chase. • In offering a 50 cent bottle of Dr. Howard’s celebrated specific for tbe cure of constipation and dyspepsia at 25 cents, Von W. Furniss is giving one of tbe greatest trade chances ever offered to the people of Nashville. Even though offered at half price for introductory purpose*, the specific Is sold under a guarantee to cure or tee money will be refunded. If food does not digest well, if there is gas or pain in tbe stomach, if the tongue is coated and the breath bad, if there is constipation and straining, Dr. Howard's specific will cure you. If It does not, you have Von W. Furniss personal guarantee to return your money. This remarkable remedy comes in the form of tiny granules, and can be carried in the vest pocket or purse. It is very popular in New York City, and it is not unusual to see someone after a meal at one of the large hotels or restaurants, take a dose of thiaspecific, knowing that it will prevent the un­ comfortable feeling which frequently follows a hearty meal.

Glasner �PENINSULAR HAPPENINGS AN Lanoiug.—Among the laws which The next leglzliture will be asked to po* la one providing for the organ!* Mtion of Insurance companies to loeero thrashing machine property. At preawrt thrashing machine owners have considerable trouble to get Inxuraaioe tor their property, and under ex­ isting laws It Is doubtful if a company ■can be legally organized in Michigan to Inaure thrashing machines., the question depending entirely on whether the machines can be classed as farm implements. The State Thrashers' association has had the nattier under consideration and an ef­ fort will be made to have a law passed providing for the organization of mu­ tual insurance companies to insure their property. Meeting of Law Officers. Saginaw •was selected as the place of holding the next annual convention of the state chiefs of police, sheriffs and prosecuting attorneys' associa­ tion at the business meeting and Chief Kain, of Saginaw, was chosen presl . dent ofw the organization. L. B. Mc­ Arthur. *of Lansing. was elected vice presiuent. and Sheriff Charles Shean, ■of Kalamazoo, secretary and treas­ urer. The indeterminate sentence law and the pardon board-came in for some hard raps from the speakers at the meeting. Judge Wiest, of Ingham, advocated a change in the divorce laws-so that the prosecuting attorney 'would represent the public interest In every case, no bill being tiled except with his approval. Ou the indeter­ minate -sentence law. the Judge said vhat while he had no fault to find with the members of the board, he strongly objected to the system under which they are working. He condemned the law as giving the board the power of determining the duration of a pris­ oner's sentence, and criticised the rule of the board preventing the pub­ lication of the names of paroled con­ victs. A resolution was adopted ex­ pressing the sense of the convention that tbe indeterminate sentence law should be 'repealed and a -committee was appointed to take the matter up with the next legislature. Prosecutor McArthur, of Ingham county, said in ills paper: "There are some laws that should be enforced all the time, some only a part of the time, and others should be enforced but rarely and then with extreme caution." - Loss by Coal Miners* Strike. The coal mining bulletin of the state labor department -for the three months ending June 30, shows the disastrous consequence of the bi­ tuminous coal miners’ strike in Mich­ igan. The strike began with the close of March and ended June 23. hut it is said that It will be the first of Septem­ ber before mining Is engaged In on a substantial basis. The principal mines are located in Saginaw and Bay counties. The bulletin shows that while tor the corresponding threq months of 1905 the output of the mines was 269.294 tons, that for the three months of this year was 20^084 tons. The average, number of em­ ployes engaged at mining In 1905 was 2,426, but this year during the period there were but 175. The amount paid ’.»y the operators simply for the care -of their property was >42.067, which was considerably in excess of that paid for miners' wages. The average ■daily wage of employes .during the i»eriod was >2.10. Labor Commissioner .McLeod, In the bulletin, deplores the strike, which caused a loss of wages to about 3,400 men during its pen­ dancy. The j|jtr had started out with the prospect that 2.000.000 tons would be mined In Michigan in the twelve­ month. Courses of Study Arranged. Courses of study in the matter of library management and equipment, which were arranged by the. state iKMU-d of library commissioners, with Mrs. Mary C. Spencer, state librarian, in direct charge, have been completed tn the four normal schools of the .state, which have been holding sum­ mer sessions. It Is believed that this work, instituted In connection with xhe normal courses for the first time, will have far-reaching effects, as These graduating therefrom are likely to have much to do with the estab­ lishment and management of many li­ braries, great or small, throughout the ttate. Farm Laborers In Demand. Farm laborers are wanted in every part of the state of Michigan and in •eastern Canada, and the demand is In.slotaot and pressing, says the Detroit “rkiae Press. Farmers are having the •-.-reeifcfit difficulty in getting enough in ail parts of the state and are -offering wages much higher than ussod In order to attract men. Michigan Guard Regiments Win. The Michigan National guard regimesjfs were successful in defending Port Benjamin Harrison against the federal troops, who made a fierce at­ tack in a sham battle which was a part of the maneuver programme. Five thousand soldiers look part in the action, equally divided between the two armies. The attacking force waa made up of the Fourth, Twehtywenth and Twenty-eighth infantry, Maj.

Mostly to blanre for the reduc­ tion is the "little peach" disease. A few years ago It was the "yellows" that made trouble for tbe peach grower. Prompt and radical meas urea by growers practically eradicated this disease, but now tbe "little peach" trouble Is general throughout the state, and is constantly growing worse. The northern counties of the lake shore fr^ilt belt—Newaygo, Ma­ son. Leelanau and Benzie—show the greatest growth as peach growers, the more souther!}* counties only about holding their own tn the matter of acreage. Apples are estimated at 78 per cent, of an average crop, and grapes considerably higher. UNFORTUNATE IS TAKEN FROM ALMS HOUSE TO A GOOD HOME. GLANCES OVER STATE HARVEST Matters of More or Less Moment From Various Localities in and About the State. Bride From the Alms House. After being buffeted about for years, doing th? drudgery of farm work for various families and finally landing in the Genesee* county alms house, the mother cf a babe of which she claims her half-brother is the father. Ivia Beebe, aged 21 years, has found a haven of refuge in the home of Free­ man F. Smith, a prosperous farmer of Handy township. Livingston county, who has made the girl hla wife. Left motherless when a child. Ivia found the advent ot a stepmother not -to her liking, and when she became old enough she "worked out." The officers say that she gave birth to a child some years ago and at that time -was sent to the county house for the-first rime. Last May she caused the arrest of her half brother. Bert Keyser, who with his large family had lived in the township of Montrose, but moved from there last fall to Fowlerville. Here Ivia visited and first met Smith, whose home Is near that vJlIuge. Keyser was still at Fowlerville when arrested, but his family was brought to straitened circumstances while he was confined in Jail, and he was re­ leased. Farmer Smith, who chose Ivia Beebe for a bride, is 45 yekrs old. He told the girl that he wanted to marry bet*, and that he cared not what had befal­ len her earlier In life. He owns an SO-acre farm and Is fairly prosperous. He has been married and divorced, his wife now Living near Fowlerville and having the custody of their five chil­ dren. Look for Many Visitors.

John was receiving $10 a week. Of this he paid $4 a week for his board and laundry. This left him $6 every week for clothes and spending money. He reasoned that $3 a week should suffice forthe lat­ ter, for a year at least, and that would allow him to place $3 a week in a savings account. It was hard werk at first and many times he wavered and thought of whata good time he could have with that $3; but every time his resolution to do what he started out to do came up before him and the $3 was placed Dur line of New md Second-Hand to his credit in his savings account.

Von W. Furniss. OBITUARY AND CONDOLENCES. Hazel, the youngest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. H. E. Downing, was born in Nashville January 4, 1889. She was 17 years, 7 months and 10 days old when she departed this life for the life beyond, on August 14, 1906, at White­ hall, Michigan, where her parents had taken her in hopes that the change of atmosphere might benefit her declin­ ing health. The funeral was held Sunday after­ noon, August 19, from the home of Mr. and* Mrs. Ward Grlbbin. The services were conducted by Rev. T. G. Lewis of Jackson, a former pastor of the Baptist church here, assisted by Rev. G. W. Tuthlll of theM. E. church and Rev C. W. Fletcher, the present pastor of the Baptist church, of which Hazel was a member. As a testimonial of the love and es­ teem in which she was held the large concourse of people who attended the funeral bore evidence- She was laid, to rest in beautiful Lakeview cemetery amid a profusion of flowers. I do not wish to give an eulogy of this most noble character, but as friend and pastor I wish to speak that which I feel and emphasize that which the church knows and is universally acknowledged by the wide circle of friends who mourn their loss. -■ Hazel's life was well known, and to know her was to love her. As we love the sweet flowers of the earth and note their beauty, so all could love such beauty of character, such untiring patience, noble faith and loyal devo­ tion to the Savior she had learned to love. Such a life'glves us faith in (HJrsonal immortality and we see in her life and death the hand of love. 'Twas not in cruelty nor in wrath That the rvapebcame that day. 'Twas an angel that visited earth And took the flower away. I^et me speak of her religious life: At her conversion a remarkable ex­ perience: al*her babtism a most affect­ ing ®cene: al her death a glorious victory, as she said to those at her side, “1 am just resting.” She hath found a Saviour's breast; Now life's weary journey’s o'er She rests to wake In sin no more Sleep there, free from care, as on her mother's breast. • May 1 venture to speak of her home life. Gentle, loving, kind, yet in her long sickness she was cheerful, bright and always hopeful, devoted to her home, to her parents and sisters. She was love itself, and in the untiring efforts of her father and mother in doing ail that could be done to allevi­ ate her suffering it vias the voice of her Savior speaking to them of what he has done for them, to make them think of his love and of the home he has prepared for all those who love him. Let me close with a word to the father and mother, in the words of Milton: ■ Be thou the mother of so sweet a child. • Thy false imagined loss cease to lament. And wisely strive to curb thy sorrow* wild. . •Think what a present thou to God has sent “And render him with patience what be lent." i C. W.

Contracts have been made with Prof. D. Meixell of Grand Rapids for four balloon • ascensions and parachute drops, a lady aeronaut to perform the aerial work. Prof. Meixell is no stranger to Nashyllle people, having worked here at the lime of the farm­ ers' picnic several years ago, and his work is always of a high' order. His apparatus, too, is of the very best, and he rarely makes a failure. The committee is also ifortunate in having secured one of the cleverest teams of acrobats In the profession In Klein & Klein, who will make two ap­ pearances daily, in high-class and comic acrobatic “stunts,” on a plat­ form to be erected on Main street, the platform to be brilliantly illumin­ ated with electric lights for the even­ ing performances. In addition to these, other attrac­ tions are being negotiated with, which with the ball games, band music, sports, etc., will fill both days and evenings so full that it will be like a 3-ring circus all the time and no one will be able to see all of the events. The urogram, which will be subject to slight changes and addition®, but as nearly complete as can be made at this time. Is as follows: FRIDAY FORWiOON. Bands will meet morning trains. 9:00.

At any rate, they will see TO it that they are rep­ resented by able and entertaining talkers.

Hook up Doll and Dobbin, load In the family, and come for both days. No county fair in Michigan will hold a candle to it for fun and a good time, and you can't afford to miss it. COUNCIL MEETING. Ail members except Councilman Zuschnitt were present at the meeting at the council rooms Monday night. A committee from the harvest festival promoters was present and asked the privilege of collecting "privilege” money for the harvest festival. The request was granted, and the pro­ moters agreed to reimburse the vil­ lage for the extra police hire for the two days. President Lentz presented the name' of Chas. Ackett for marshal to suc­ ceed . B. B. Downing, resigned. The selection was confirmed. The ordinance relative to traction engines crossing cement sidewalks waa found defective and Councilman Wotring was made a committee to draft a new ordinance. The ordinance was passed at a special meeting of the council last night and It will be found in another column of this isjue. NOTICE TO TEACHERS A Barry County Teacher’s meeting will be held in the Court House in the city of Hastings, Friday August 31, commencing at 10 o'clock. Every teacher in the county who is to teach in the rural schools of Barry County will be expected to attend this meeting. John C. Ketcham, Commissioner of Schools* �MICHIGAN EVENTSNOTED Sugar Plant* Conaolidatcd. Through the fifing of article* of ineorporotloo al Landing of the Mlchigac Sugar company, there sprang into total existence the largest industrial anterprlse in the state of Michigan. The articles were filed by Charles B. Warren, of the "legal firm of Shaw. Warren. Cady & Oaks. The new com­ pany was organised for the purpose of taking over the. plant* of the Alma Sugar company, two plants of the Michigan Sugar company at Bay City. Saginaw Valley Sugar company at Saginaw. Sebewaing Sugar company, Peninsular Sugar company at Caro, Sanilac -Sugar comi»any at Croswell, and the German-American Sugar com­ pany at West Bay City. While, the nominal capitalisation of the company 1* >62,500, the capital will, however, be increased to $ 12,500.000, a* the plants are taken over. The directors of the new company will be: A. W. Wright. Charles B. Warren. W. C. Mc­ Millan, Gilbert W. Lee,. George B. Moreiy. Arthur Hili, Henry B. Joy, N. B. Bradley. W. L, Churchill. W. T. Knowlton, Thoma* A. Harvey, William H. Wallace, Capt. Benjamin Boutell. Watts S. Humphrey. A. W. Wright, the well-known capitalist of Alma, who is at<the head of several of Michi­ gan's largest manufacturing enter­ prises and who will be one of the ex­ ecutive officers of the new sugar com­ pany. said that the owners of the present properties are going Into part­ nership because they believe that the consolidation will enable the business to be managed with greater -care and efficiency. Mr. Wright Is perhaps the largest owner of cultivated farm lands In Michigan and many tons of beet* are annually grown on his farms. He has watched the agricultural develop­ ment of the state with Interest and has great faith in the future of the beet sugar Industry. "The farmer is growing to depend on his beet crop more and more," said' Mr. Wright “This Is because the price does not vary- but Is fixed by contract before the seed is planted and cannot.'there­ fore. be changed." The manufacture of sugar has become one of Michigan’s leading industries. This year the acre­ age sown tq sugar beets la 33 1-3 per cent, greater than last year, and it is estimated that the farmers of Michigan will receive between >3.000,000 and >4.000,000 for raw material. The.value of the sugar to be produced is estimated at over >6.000.000. It is stated by experts that the manufac­ ture of beet sugar In the United. States ha* progressed so rapidly that this winter very little cane sugar will find it* way into the markets of the mid­ dle west and western states. It is also stated that the western states dow produce more sugar than is con­ sumed west of the Missouri river. In all there are 82 beet sugar plants in the United States, and Michigan leads the Industry with 15. The annual out­ put of the eight plants now included in the new Michigan Sugar company will be about >4.000.000 worth of sugar. Work for Pure Food. E. C. Schultz, inspector for the state dairy and food department, in his .an­ nual report, says-he visited 452 bak­ eries and ordered 306 proprietor* to make improvements. Such has been the effect of the new law that 48 bak­ ers have erected new plants, while on the other hand 39 have gone out of business, owing to Inability to meet the law's requirements. Of 219 con­ fectioneries and ice. cream plants Im­ provements were ordered in 130. Roosevelt Will Come. President Roosevelt has accepted the invitation of President Snyder, of the state agriculturl college, to attetnd the semi-annual celebration at the college next May. For some time it has been hoped to secure the pres­ ence of the president, but his final acceptance was not received until this week. It was secured through the ef­ forts of Congresoinan Sam Smith. To Tert Tax Titl* Law. O. H. Reed, of Lansing, has commenced mandamus proceedings against Aud. Gen. Bradley to test the constitutionality of act 229 of the laws of 1897 requiring six months’ notice to be given the principal owner of the land by the tax title purchaser. He contends that »be state’s title to de­ linquent tax lands is absolute and that it is unlawful to issue conditional deeds. Hear Commissioner Barry. Insurance Commissioner Barry de­ livered the address of welcome at the. meeting of the Associated Fraterni­ ties of'America in Detroit. He also addressed the Detroit conference, composed of representatives of health and accident companies at St Clair. Reappointed by Governor. C. A. Waldron, of Tecumseh, was re­ appointed by Gov. Warner as a mem­ ber of the state board of veterinary examiners. --------Formaldehyde In Ice Cream. Formaldehyde has been discovered in colored matter used by ice cream venders in the northern part of the state. One arrest has been made by the state dairy and foo^ department It Is claimed that formaldehyde In quantities sufficient to be dangerous was found in crushed strawberries used by the dealer. Lansing.—The supreme court, ins®ing a writ of certiorari, prevented the release of Charles E. Blashfield from the Ionia reformatory. Blashfield may yet secure hl* release, but if he does there are 100 prisoner* in the refqrpiatory and many, in other prisons who will be- able to secure their freedom for similar reasons. Judge Darts, of Ionia, ordered Biashfieid released, bin the supreme court caused the prisoner to be detained un­ til Judge Davis’ action could be re­ viewed. In the winter of 1905 Blash; field passed a forged check. He was arrested -and In April entered a plea of guilty before Judge Wisner, of FUntl He was not sentenced until June 12. On June 7 the present inde­ terminate sentence law took effefct: and by its terms the law of 1903 was repealed and became a dead letter. Blashfield'* sentence was for a mini­ mum of .one year and a maximum of 14. It was.contended on the-hearing before Judge Davis that os the of­ fense was committed under the Inde­ terminate sentence law of 1903. and as conviction was had imdef that law his sentence after the law had. been repealed was void, and that the pris­ oner was being Illegally detained. Judge Davis agreed with this view-of the case and ordered the prisoner’s discharge. The "case presents a num­ ber of difficulties, but In view of -the fact that similar action might result In releasing a large number of other prisoners, convicted under the former indeterminate sentence act, and not sentenced until after the new law took effect, it was decided to get the matter before the supreme court for a decision.

(Copyright, by Joseph B. Bowles.) Sitting over their coffee in the even­ ing, the various members of the coach­ ing party were detailing impressions from the day’s trip. By common consent, the others pauaed when Madam la Baronne de Vaux began to speak. The dainty Frenchwoman was a favorite with all, arid she was usually sure of listeners 8:12 p.l •we are prepared to furnish you with all the Lumber for building and finishing, you may need. The quality of the lumber will be up to our usual standard—first class in every respect and well sea­ soned. In our Yards the stock is well kept 41 p so we can assure you of prompt de­ livery. Nashville Lumber @ Madam 1a Baronne paused and smiled, and the sweetness in her face, deepened, and the drollnesa flashed in her black eyes. “Tell us. please tell us, madam.” the others clamored. "Surely,” the baroness replied. “There was a dear old boy lived In the village, and, too, a dear old lady. He waa an old bacnelor, and she whs an eld maid. Once, years and years and years ago. she and ne had been sweethearts. Somehow they could not, or would not, marry. He went away for years, while she remained in the village always. Then at last he came back, and they were good friends. They were too old to marry, or so they thought. But every evening he. called on her. and they sat and chatted on the veranda when the season was right, and at other times'they sat tn two great chairs before the little Are tn the little parlor of her cottage. "One winter's night, when the air was most biting and their old blood chilled by the frost of it, they sat cozlly In th’e parlor, as always, ami the old gen­ tleman. I- suppose, was very busy1 to heap the tiny fire high and to keep the blaze brisk, so that they sat snugly In. their huge chairs and basked in the warm glow, and chatted lazily aiid drowsily of the past days, when love was hot In their young hearts.” Madam la Baronne broke off and ran her, merry eyes over the group about her. "Have none of you read the tale?” she questioned. "No? Well, there is little more. Indeed, I have only to finish now. In the morning, when the bonne entered the parlor to dust It and' put things straight, she found the dear old gentleman and thq dear old lady In their great chairs before ’.he dying Ore in the tiny grate, and-'hey were— Bound asleep!" The baroness smiled, and laughter •an in the circle around her. "They were married as quickly as the law would allow. Otherwise there must have been a whisper'of scandal. And. oh, I am sure that they live:! happy ever after; yes, even as happy as before!" The group chattered merrily over th - narrative and thanked the raconU-..it v. l*h enthusiasm. A..d ,iow let us have some music," the baroness suggested, and turned to a patriotic American. "Of course, that m^ans you, Mr. Blennen.” _Blennen’s dark, thin face lighted with a pleasant smile, as he nodded an assent to tbe general demand, but before he rose from bls chair his eyes wandered toward a woman at a little distance from him and there they rest­ ea with, a suggestion of expectation in their gaze. Almost..... Instantly woman turned to meet his look, and she spoke eagerly: “Oh, please, Mr. Blennen.” At the words a glow of pleasure shone from the musician's face, and he hastened toward the piano.' The early summer night of the Hud­ son valley was soft, languorous, silent, save for the restful droning of the in­ sects. Through the open windows of the great drawing-room came the lux­ urious mingleu perfumes of many blos­ soms. It was a night and a company for music. For Blennen, though the Inheritor of a princely fortune, was a master of •music. When he had finished, and the crowd of enthusiasts at hist allowed him to break from their compliments, he went to her. She made place beside her, and flashed* a glance of fond pride upon him. "It was wonderful, wonderful” she cried, softly. "Your genius. Vance, is so true—so splendidly true! Ah. when 1 listened to you. my jpul went float­ ing in a magic land of harmony. I—" She broke oif abruptly. Then, witn hardly a second’s pause, she continued, gayly: "I should never mind my Insomnia, If I could lie and hear you playing." , “Poor child! you don’t show any sign of it. You are as fresh and dainty, as lovely and .superb :.s ever—more beau­ tiful. In my eyes, Grace." The woman blushed and dropped her gaze in confusion at the passion tn his voice. Her silence emboldened him, and he continued la an eager whisper: "Tell me, Grace, Is not my happiness coming to me soon—soon?" , But the woman raised her hand ap­ pealingly, whilst she avoided the long■•Don’t, Vance. No, no, not yet I am afraid.'’ , The emotion in her voice checked him from another plea, and tbe an­ guish of despair griped his heart. Blennen, alone in his room that night, reviewed the situation. He was confronted by the vital fact that he loved Mrs. Morse with all bls soul. but that the happy issue of this love waa of the ulrruon uncertainty. For fate made him the scapegoat of rOther man’s sliu. Mr. Morse had been a suave villain, of exceptional personal charm when he ao willed, a. hypocrite, a debauchee, a brute. He had treated bis wife with exquisite courtesy In the presence of others! but, alone with her, he had outraged.her every Imulnct. had beat­ en and bruised her flesh and scourged her soul. HU death had come as a blessed release from tbe tortures her pride had forced her to endure, but it had left her with a morbid dread of marriage, a conviction that all men were cowardly and cruel, that as her husband had been, so any other might be. To-night, as Blennen reviewed the words she bad spoken to him, he felt a swift Indignation that she must still suffer physically, os her insomnia testified she did. “Nd wonder she broods, if she can’t sleep nights," he muttered angrily. "What chance can I haver* After a long silence, he spoke again, and now very tenderly: “If I could only play io her. for her rest the-night through!" He went, to the window and stood looking out at the glory of the river and the night. The spirit.of -the scene crept to his ear and whispered her name,- and the memory of her and the desire of her filled his soul. One" day the. whole party sailed up the river, and made a mountaineering expedition Into the Catskills. They did not return until nightfall; and they •were hungry and weary. After din­ ner the company was listless and drowsy;' very early, one after another, they began to straggle off to bed. Blennen came to Mrs. Mojse. "I’m not the least bit sleepy," he said to her. so low that no one could overhear. "And I’m fiot Mred. Of course, you’re not sleepy yet; and, even if you were. I suppose you wouldn’t dare to risk a night's sleep­ lessness by going to bed so early. So come Into the library with me, and I’ll pjay you Chopin for a while. Will you? Do!” Tt will rest me and soothe' me." she saM. “I am so" glad you thought of It!” The great drawing-room was almost deserted as the two passed out Into SHE WAS FAST ASLEEP. the hall, and on to the library, which atood somewhat apart in a wing. This roo'm was sacred to the master of the house; guests rarely Intruded unless by particular Invitation. When be had established her comfortably, Blennen turned away without a word and seat­ ed himself at the piano. A few dying notes, then silence. The shaded light of the electric bulb still shone softly, but tae moonlight had long danced from the waves. In Its stead, the mist over the river was nurpling wiirm with the summer dawn. Blennen moved soft.y to the window and stood looking down on the woman. She gave no heed to his presence. The dark lashes ' swept her cheek, her breath rhythmed gently, she was nestled luxuriously amid the cushions —she was fast asleep! Suddenly, she opened her eyes and stared into his face with the bewilder­ ment of a drowsy child. "Why, good heavens, there must be a fire," she exclaimed. “See how light It is!” Blennen looked obediently. “So it Is." he agreed. “It Isn't light," she cried, “not day­ light! -It can’t be!" "I rather suspect it is, though,*” Blennen said, quietly. "And do you mean to say that I’ve been right here In this chair since eleven o’clock last night? Sound asleep for hours?” she asked, with amazement that was almost awe. ”i'm afraid you have been,” Blennen affirmed, apologetically. But the widow was far from indig­ nation at this moment. "Bless me," she exclaimed, raptur­ ously, “It’s a miracle! I—asleep for hours! I can’t believe iL You are a magician. Vance.” Blennen seized his, opportunity, boldly: “Marry mb, and*!’il play you to sleep any night you wish.’” < Instantly, the woman of the world awoke tocher knowledge of conven­ tions. Her e«es dilated a little, and Tor a minute there was silence. Then she turned to him with a face that was glowing: "Yes. I will marry yon now. Some­ how. the fear has passeoi "Aye. her nerve# fire the better for just these few hours of real sleep.” Blennen thought; but he had the wis­ dom not to speak aloud. “But sucn a scandal!” the widow whispered as she drew her lips from Blennen’s. "Pooh! no one can know! And If they do—" “And if they do—they will laugh!" "Yes. they will laugh, as they did at madame’s. s-tary.*.’---------------------------------- Look Into A Furnace Before You Buy It MARKETING LIMA BEANS. Borne of the Things to Remember in .

On the market lima beans are sold by the quart, hence the best pack is I the ordinary 16 9$ 24 quart berry crate. Reid, early beans often sell better In pli.t boxes, as the price la so high that customers of- the retail stores do not want as many as a full quart The peck market basket Is another package used, six to ten quarts being put In •each basket With a covering of green netting to enhance the greenness of the beans. • Many beans cannot be shipped In bulk, because they heat the easiest of all vegetables, and heating results In souring, sprouting, mildew, spotting and decay. Although Itself green and full of water, the lima bean must be absolutely free from outside moisture when packed for shipment, says Farm, Field and Fireside. Nor must the package in any way get wet. or a total loss will result Inside of 12 hours. A novice In the business often blames the express company or commission merchant for the spoiling of hls goods and. consequent bad returns, when It is hls own fault In allowing the beans to be packed in a damp condition. Shelling, as well as picking, must be done by hand. Shelling Ih the more tedious process. A good sheller can shell eight to 12 quarts per hour. One and a half to two cents per quart is usually the price'for shelling, children most often doing the work, although the supervision of a competent grown [ person is necessary at all times. If tor any reason the beans after being shelled are damp, they should be placed for an hour or more before packing on a clean cloth, or some other clean, absorbing substance, in the open air—but not in the sun. Thia is to dry the outer surfaces. They should be spread not more than an inch deep and rolled from side to side every few minutes to secure even dry­ ing., The cloth will absorb a part of the moisture and tbe air the rest. Usually, however, no such drying process Is necessary. SEEDING PASTURES. How One Man Handled His Land After Prairie Grasses Had Been Fed Out My experience is not very exten­ sive, but I will say that I seeded a prairie pasture after the prairie grasses had been fed out, with one part timothy, one part red top and one part blue grass. I found that the timothy and blue grass took good on the high ground and tbe red top took best on the low ground. I found, too. that after about three years the blue grass had crowded everything else out, even the weeds to a ceraln ex­ tent It takes blue grass about two years to get a good start But the red top did fine on low ground the first year. If I were going to seed a pasture for cattle, horses and sheep, especially If the land had been under cultivation. I should sow two parts red clover, one part timothy and one part blue grass, and on low lands I would put one part timothy and orie part ret top. for the reason red top does best on low ground. I find in my pastures on the high, dry knolls that In Juno and July, when the weather Is dry and the sun is hot, these knolls dry out and give little or no feed, hence my reason for sowing red top on tho for stock during the dryest part of the season, and. too, there is always a heavy growth around the slougha of low places that make fine grazing dur­ ing the winter months when 'It is not covered with snow. Now. - continues the correspondent of Farmers’ Re­ view. my reason for sowing timothy and clover Is that the clover helps to shade the timothy and blue grass after the harvest bas been taken off. and It also helps to fill out the stand until the timothy and blue grass get a good WENGERS Meat Market for the choicest cuts of all kinds of meat Fish, Oysters and Game in season.

The Treatment for This Trouble Should Begin by Using the “Ounce of Prevention.” Treatment for grub in the head Is practically valueless, declares Orange Judd Farmer. Not so, however, with reference to prevention. Grub In the head Is caused by a fly which in hot. late summer weather lays eggs in the nostrils of the sheep. These hatch in a few days and crawl up intp the re­ gion adjacent to the brain. There they live and. their presence leads frequent­ ly to Inflammation, which often re­ sults, in death, if sheep are furnished with a cool and darkened shed where they can He during hot summer days, they are not likely to be injured by the fly. Rentschler, Pine Apple trough. Set tbe end pieces of the hopper inside of the ends of the trough at center, leaving a space, four inches wide for feed to pass through between the sides of the -hopper. This space should run the full length of the trough. The side® of /.he hopper should be about one Inch above the Shoes Gents' Furnishings 3300 HOG SELF-FEEDER FOR SHELLED' CORN. . THE LIVE STOCK. No blemished horse should be used as a breeder. Good horses cannot be produced fr-m Inferior parents. Hogs grown under cleanly conditions make clean, wholesome pork. Horse breeding should receive more attention by the general farmer. Pig pork is juicer, tenderer, healthier, costs less and sells better than hog pork. Cleanliness is as necessary for the health and well being of hogs as for other animals. Oats fed to hogs will produce bone and muscle and will prevent sows from getting too fat. In the purchase of any kind of animal, quality is generally worth more than is paid fpr it. The growing pig should be raised upon something else beside corn till ready to begin to fatten. Gradually increase the rations of the pigs a few dajw before weaning if they are to be kept growing. " If the sow is kept in good condition on the right kind of food her pigs will be strong and vigorous. Oat* form bone and muscle rather than fat, hence their value for the breeding sows and embryo pigs. A sow will rear a litter of pigs on half the rations if given a good pas­ ture than she will if enclosed. Hogs are profitable because they will ripen two crops a year, but this re­ quires good hogs and good attention. Large and fine muttons bring good prices, sufficiently good to pay well for the grain to make them fat. large and m flue as possible.

In addition to building an up-to-date and commo­ dious ulning hall, other work has been done during the summer and the officials are now about to erect forty new stalls which can be used for either horses or cattle: also sixteen new swine pens.

Tbe president also declared .that-'such a change would result In a hurtful oscillation between tbe extreme radical and the extreme reactionary^ The president said also that he hdpes the present congress will enact laws prohibiting po­ litical contributions by corjioratlons, lowering duties on imports from the Philippines, and limiting the number of hours for railway employes. Favors Protective Tariff. "We stand'unequivocally for a pro­ ’ tective tariff, and we feel that the phe­ nomenal industrial prosperity which we are now enjoying, is not lightly to be jeopardised, for it would be to tbe last degree foolish to secure here and there u small benefit at the cost of general business depression. But whenever a given rate or schedule be­ comes evidently disadvantageous to the nation, because of the changes which go-on from year to year in our conditions, and where it is feasible to change this rate or schedule with­ out too much dislocation of the sys­ tem, it will be done, while a general revision of the rates and schedules will be undertaken whenever It shall appear to the sober business sense of our people that on the whole the benefits to be derived from making such changes will outweigh the disad­ vantages; that is, when the revision will do more good than harm. * Trust Question Is Separate. "Let me add one word of caution. • however. The question of revising the tariff stands wholly apart from the question of dealing with the eocalied 'trusts*—that is, with the con­ trol of monopolies and with the super­ vision of great wealth in business, es­ pecially in corporate form. .The only way in which it Is possible to deal with those trusts and monopolies and this great corporate wealth is by ac tion along the line of tbe laws enacted by the -present congress and its im­ mediate predecessors. The cry that the problem can be met by any . changes In the tariff represents, whether consciously or unconsciously, an effort to divert the public's atten­ tion from the only method of taking ef­ fective action.” Mr. Roosevelt says that if only parti­ san issues were involved in this con­ test he should hesitate to say any­ thing publicly in reference to it, but be does not feel that this is the case. He feels that "Mil good citizens who have tbe welfare of America at heart should appreciate 'the immense amount that has been accomplished by the present congress, organized as it is. and the urgent need of keeping this organization in power.” The president deciares that "with Mr. Cannon as speaker the house has accomplished a literally phenomenal amount of good work.

It Is stated that the estimate of the money needed by the Russian govern­ ment for aid to tbe famine-stricken provinces would amount to nearly >40,000,000 this year. The peasants are starving, partly in consequence of lack of land to cultivate, partly because of specially bail crops this year. Mean­ while the rent of land is steadily ris­ ing. According to the latest report of th* Peasants' bank .the average rent per desiatlD rose in 12 years from 39 rubles to JOS rubles. No wonder that the cry of the peasants is for "land and liberty." And the only reasonably fertile land remaining is that of pri­ vate owners, the public domain being mostly swampy or forest land. LOW RATES SOUT VIA BIG FOUR ROUTE . On sale every day.

They lost 17 men killed and many wounded, while the loss to the gov­ ernment force was one man killed. The government Is without further partlcularg of the fight. Insurrection in Decline. That the Insurrection is in a shaky condition seems to be a fact, although the end may not bp as near as mem­ bers of the government' profess to believe. Fix-Congressman Faustino (Pino) Guerra, the insurgent leader operating in the • province of Pinar Del Rio. In a signed statement tele­ graphed to the press Monday night declares that he is as determined .as ever that the last presidential elec­ tion shall be annulled before there can be peace In Cuba. That Guerra'S force of 2.000 men is well armed and supplied with ammunition and food is amply verified. Their greatest draw­ back now is the lack of money; but the people of the western part of PinarDel Rio are furnishing thexn with all the supplies needed, taking In re­ turn therefore orders on the ."Cuban government" and in many cases refus­ ing to accept any consideration. Regarding Amnesty. The government’s offer of amneety Is variously received. It Is Impossible to say what Its effect will be upon those to. whom it is addressed. Al­ fredo' Zayas, president of the senate and leader of the liberal party, stated that he was unable to express any opinion as to whether the Insurgents •would grasp the opportunity offered them of surrendering, but said in his opinion as a lawyer. Secretary Montalvo could not legally issue such an order, for the ’ constitution pro­ vides that only the president may make such a proclamation which must be countersigned by some member of the cabinet. Secretary Maintains Legality. Secretary Montavlo. on the con­ trary, stated that the offer of clem«ncy was Issued by the direct order of President Palma and also gazetted officially. The secretary added that the document was in reality an order of the secretary of the Interior. Is­ sued by direction of the president to ■Gen. Dcdrlguez, commander of the rural guards. The foreign element, including many Americans, criticise the offer of amnesty as a weak and disappoint­ ing action, showing a desire for peace at any price and a willingness to sac­ rifice the possibility of future security to a present expediency.

PRESIDENT SENDS OUT APPEAL REQUESTING ASSISTANCE FOR CHILI QUAKE VICTIMS. Number of Death* and Amount of Property Destroyed Probably Greater Than at Frisco Disaster— Rain Adds to Misery of Fugitives. Oyster Hay, N. Y., Aug; 27.— President Roosevelt Saturday issued a proclamation appealing for aid tor earthquake stricken Chill. The proc­ lamation was Issued after a consulta­ tion with Acting Secretary of State Bacon. The proclamation reads as follows: ' "Proclamation: A dreadful patern­ ity Las befallen our sister republic of Chill in the destruction by earth­ quake of Valparaiso and other local­ ities. We of this nation at this mo­ ment see the city of San Francisco struggling upwards from the ruins in which a like catastrophe .over­ whelmed her last spring. We keep keenly in mind the thankful apprecia­ tion we then felt for the way in which the people of Europe. Asia and both Americas came forward with generous offers of assistance. In this time of woe of our sister repub­ lic. I ask that our people out of their abundance now strive to do to an­ other as others last spring did to us. The national Red Cross associa­ tion has already taken measures to celled any subscriptions that may be o:fe;-.-d tor this purpose, and I trust tl.at there will be a generous re­ spouse.” ‘ . Quake Loss Is Immense. Santiago, Chill, Aug. 27.—A cons<q-vatlve estimate places the property loss at Valparaiso as a result of tho earthquakes and fires at 1200,000.000. The loss in the rural districts will be Immense. as ndt only the residences of the landed proprietors, but the huts of the laborers have been com­ pletely destroyed, and in many places the bridges, fences and tqlegraph and telephone [tests bars been thrown down. No passenger trains have ar­ rived here from Valparaiso since Aug­ ust 16. It Is insisted here that the effect of the disaster in the number of deaths and the amount of property destroyed. Is probably greater than was the case In San Francisco. Val­ paraiso Is the great seaport of the republic, and its commerce exceeds that of any Pacific port except San Francisco. The entire lower part of the city Is completely destroyed, and the loss of life is felt throughout Chili, because all parts of the .country were represented there. Heavy rains are still falling at Val­ paraiso, making the misery still greater. Donations for the relief of lhe sufferers are arriving here from all parts of the world. Some idea of the state of affairs ex­ isting can be formed from the fact that a man rode on horseback from Valparaiso to Santiago, a distance of 80 miles, and could not obtain food or drink for himself or his horse dur­ ing the entire distance, owing to the desolation prevailing.

Allege 6,428 Separate and Distinct Of­ fenses or weceiving *Keoates on anipments From Railroads. Chicago. Aug. 28.—Ten Indictments, charging 6.428 separate offenses of re­ ceiving rebates, were returned against the Standard Oil company by two fed­ eral grand juries Monday. Each jury returned five Indictments to Judge Bethea. The possible maximum fine against the Standard Oil company Is 164.280.­ 000. . * The chargee—the most serious and the moet numerous ever brought against the oil concern—will. It is thought, end tn a complete revelation of the Intrigues through which the oil company secures Its freight and tank car reductions. All of the offenses charged by the grand Jurors arise from rebates given at the Whiting. Ind., refinery. It Is alleged that the Standard OU company has been receiving, contrary to law. from 27 V* to 33 1-3 per cent, re­ ductions on the published prices that are applicable to Independents. The railroads accused, though not Indicted, wlftj the oil trust and the number of offenses named In the In­ dictments are: Chicago. Burlington & Quincy. 544; Chicago.

District Attorney Morrison. It 15 shown that while independent oil refineries are made to pay the pub­ lished Interstate commerce scale of 16 cents from East Whiting to East St. Louis the Standard Oil company pays only six cents. The rate to St. Louis Is 19% cents to the general Shipper of all. The Standard OH company, how­ ever, >ays less than 7V4 cents. The indictments are expected by the federal prosecutors-to prove the first effective, move to stop the oil comjxr.y^s system of rebating and shut­ ting off competition.

Septem"Practical Chrls- it is to be found in all flocks in tbe humid and perhaps in tbe semi-arid sections of the United States. It seldom does any. appreciable in­ jury to the older sheep, nor to vigor­ ous early lambs. It is frequently fatal to lambs-out of condition, and espe­ cially to lambs that come as late as the first of June. It is taken into the system from pasture infected from the droppings of older sheep or iambs that are Infested. Hence the "one Important thing in fighting this disease is qhange of, pas­ ture. If sheep are.kept for a number of years on a blue grass pasture, and especially if they are watered, from sloughs in the pasture, they are al­ most certain to have a severe attack of sttftnach worms. There are just two preventives. One is not to fellow sheep on the same pasture more than two years tn succession. The other is to have your lambs come as early as they can be cared for, and then feed them some grain and keep them grow­ ing vigorously from start to finish. If they can be sold fat in June at tbe prices usually current, sell them. Five dollars is just as good pay for a lamb In June as it is for a lamb In December and January which has eaten' a great deal more feed and in­ curred ‘ greater risk. If weaned they should be put on a fresh.pasture. Old pastures sooner or later become sheep sick. As to remedies. Prof. ’A. A. Craig, veterinarian of Purdue experiment station, upon the authority of Dr. Law, recommends the following: “Arsenious acid, one dram; sulphate of iron, five drams; powdered nux vomica, two drams; powdered areca, two ounces; common salt, four ounces: This mixture is sufficient for 30 sheep and can be fed with ground feed once or twice a week. In case tlje symp­ toms are already manifested. It should be fed once a day ‘for two or three weeks. In giving this remedy in this feed the necessary precautions should be taken or each animal may not get the proper dose." To which he also adds: "Turpentine Is largely used In the treatment of stomach worms. It is administered as an emulsion with milk ftine part turpentine to 16 parts of milk). The emulsion should be well shaken before drenching the ani­ mal. The dose is two ounces tor a lamb and four ounces for an adult, and to be effective should be repeated dally for two or three dayir.” We used this turpentine treatment some years ago in our own flock; and while It will kill the worms, we have always thought that it left the sheep In an enfeebled condition; whether due to the treatment or the result of the disease we were not able to de­ termine. in handling sheep an ounce of pre­ vention is worfh a good many pounds of cure, -and the one maxim "change of pasture is good for ebeep" Is worth about all the medicines that were ever poured down the sheep’s throat, eays Wallace's Farmer.

THE SIDE CRAFT. Method Which Xab Valuable When Working with Seedlings Grow­ ing in Nursery. Tbe method of grafting shown tn the Illustration la vaaulble when grafting young sac dUngs growing in tbe nursery or greenhouse. - A slant­ ing cut Is made just under the bark ou tbe stock near the grounjj. and the scion is prepared much the same a* for cleft-grafting, except that the cut ■on whet la to be tbe outside of the scion Is shorter than the other. Tt Is then pushed Into the cut. ou the stock, ■o that the -barks will be In contact, and then wrapped and waxed the same as the other grafts. ■ The. scions used for grafts of all kinds should be well ripened, healthy ■hoots of .the previous year's growth. They should be cut' In the fall and packed hi sand or moss until needed. In tbe ease of hardy sorts, good re­ sults can generally be secured wltn spring-cut grafts.-but it is safer to cut them in the fall. April and May are the months for grafting.

Tbe beet results in grafting are ob­ tained when stock and scion come from plants of equal vigor and be­ longing to the same species, says tbe Prairie Farmer, but In many cases fairly good success can be obtained between plants of nearly refated rpecfas. Thus the apple, pear, quince, thorn and mountain ash can be graft­ ed upon one or tho other. but the union In most cases will not be so perfect or durable as betwuen plants of the name species. Very much attention bus been di­ rected from the different .watw the union and from various lountrtes of the world to California's method of fighting Insect pests by means of their natural enemies. wpeciaUy toward the experiment now being carried on in tbe effort to overcome the rasagaa of the codling moth by means erf tbe newly introduced parasite, CalliepM<dtes messer. The codling moth Is unqueutionably the most destructive and most widespread of all of our Insect paste, and is found practically wherever ap­ ples ur {—an* are grown. It was in­ troduced Into California shortly after FEMALE PARASITE OF CODLING MbTH-MVCH ENLARGED. the completion of the transcontinental railroad, and was first observed in 1870. since which tlipe tt has siprmd rapidly over the whole state until there are few orchards, and these only in isolated districts, that are free from the pesL During all tbc^e yearn the apple and {war Industries have been growing and extending until they have become of first rank among the orchards erf tbe state. The only method of keeping the pejit in check jas been by means of spraying with Paris green ar other araenlcol compounds, and this nataradly involves a great deal of outlay for ma­ terial and labor, and In spite erf the most efficient work, a large percent­ age of the,fruit Is lost. California having been successful with several introduced foaects tn keeping in check some of tbe Inju­ rious species, determined tn main* lhe experiment of discovering and tatroducing an effective parasite tor the cod­ ling tooth. It was urged that ow verj' large sections of Europe, where tbe apple was extensively grown, the cod­ ling moth bad been known for a great many years, dating as far back as history Itself, and yet a very Large percentage of the fruit was nninjured by the moth. From this fact h was argued that there must of necessity be some natural cause which pce-.enUxl the increase of the destructive Insect, and experience has shown thru this cause was tn all probability a para­ sitic tneect. Upon these ftnrs, tin ngi-nr of the California hortlcnltnral cammtosion was dispatched to Europe with Instructions to discover tbe codling moth, and discover and forward, if possible, tbe natural enemies which he might find working thereoc.

Let us confine our thoughts to those rolling clay soils. If there are six dis­ tinct benefits In tiling these, there can­ not be less on level lands. First—If these rolling lands are well tiled they may ba worked quickly.after a hard rain.,much time saved and bet­ ter crops secured. The land will never bake, but wiU be pliable and easily tended. Second—In seasons of drought the crops do not suffer when properly cul­ tivated. as tbe.moisture rising from the lowered water table Is sufficient. Third—Tn seasons of excessive rain the fertility is not washed off tbe land, but enters at once Into the loose, open •soil, where tbe fertility la left While all surplus water descends to tbe tile Fourth—As the water finds ■ quick way to the til* anywhere on properlydrained land, the air will follow, and this means that various elements tn the soli will be oxygenized and fitted for plant food. Tn other words. It fer­ tilizes the soil, and puts the fertility where we ran so well put It. . just where the roots of the plant can best And tt. . . Fifth—Tiled soil is much warmer and the surface Is some ten degrees warmer -during the growing season. .This lengthens the season at both ends and makes Intensive farming easy. Sixth—The fertility you jTut on tiled land Is more productive. You never need fall in getting a good seeding of clover on such land, and we all know what this means. These are pneitive benefits, and I have not named all. FEMALE IN ACT OF OVIEOfimON.

Spreading chinch-bug disease has not proved very successful in Okla­ homa. At one time it was thought that perhaps by the spreading of an I infection that this pest could be suc­ cessfully eradicated, but experience has proved that warm, moist weather is necessary for the spread of the disease. On the other hand, cool dry weather is unfavorable and no infec­ tion occurs. The authorities at the' Oklahoma station point out that*there are four means by which the farmer can protect himself from the chinch bug. These are given In the following: Destroy, during the winter or early spring, all the winter quarters Adult nt left: a. b. eggs magnified ahd natural size; young nyinph; e. sec­ ond stage of nymph; f. third stage; r. fuff-grown nymph; d. h. j, legs; I. beuk. - through which food is .taken. of the bugs, together with the bugs themselves, by deep plowing. Chinch bugs fly in the fall to bunch-grass, their natural food before crops were Introduced, to pass the winter. Not finding the grass, they will hibernate in any shelter that may be at hand. During April they fly back to the crops to mate and deposit their eggs. Generally the wheat is In prime con­ dition for them at this time, and it is the crop that suffers most when the,, eggs hatch and the young bugs begin to feed. ’ Of course the great­ est damage Is done later when the broods become very numerous and CONTINUE mant with Scott’s Emulsion should continue ths treatment In hot weathert smaller dose and a little cool milk with It will do away with any objection which Is attached to fatty pro­ ducts during th* heated begin to migrate to new fields. . ut crop moved upon at that time Is the one to save. 2. Plant a "trap crop" to protect the main crop, and when the bugs move upon the trap, plow the whole under, bugs and all. This method has given good results. The trap crop may be millet, Kafir, or sorghum, and should be on ,the side of the field nearest to the wheat. 3. Plow a space of ten feet around the cornfield when the bugs begin to leave the wheat, harrow and drag with brush to make as much dust as possible. This can be done only In dry weather. Small, immature bugs will not be able to cross the ten feet of dust, and the mature ones will seldom resort to flying. 4. 1-ater in the season, when the insects move upon the corn, a few rows cut and plied in armful-sized piles will attract the chinch bugs, and if it is warm and the corn heats, thousands of bugs will die under these piles from a chinch-bug disease. Tbe piles of green corn offer the Ideal weather conditions, hot and damp, the disease being naturally present soon "takes." and the result is the death of all bugs affected. Do not attempt to destroy the chinch bug by spraying. It has been tried at the experiment station and by numerous farmers, with the same unsuccessful results. A few more tests will be made with sprays, and the results given if successful. But until then the farmer has adequate means al hand tp materially lessen the damages by this pest, by using the above methods. To repeat: By all means plant a trap crop and plow it under when the bugs move upon it in great num­ bers. Plow a dust strip and lay piles of green cut corn or sorghum in the path of the migrating bugs'. Then finally, begin next winter to save your wheat crop,’ by cleaning up all places where chinch bugs could hide away and pass the winter mouths. . /. E. FISHER.

If you travel back and forth Into town every day you no doubt read your morning and evening paper, or a mag­ azine, on the train, says the Chicago American. While this is not, indeed, the best practice for the eyes, it seem> a pity to waste so much time which might be turned to good account Much of the annoyance which comes from train reading is due to the jolting of tbe cars, which continually knocks the printed line out of focus with the This can be In some degree obviated by laying a card or some other object below the line to be read, and moving It steadily downward while reading This acts as a guide to the eye, and helps to keep the sight fixed.

A ket­ tle with the water heating in it stood near and men were gathered about dis­ cussing how hot the water should be when applied to the horse's leg. They asked DrurJ Fetid's opinion. Mr. Feild said it should be boiling. **BUL" said the doctor, “the horse never coulh stand having his foot put In a bucket of boiling water; It would cook the flesh from the bone."

The plat­ form or droppings board should hang out about six Inches from the wall and can be held In place by hooks attached to the Vail. The roosts and 2x4 pieces are laid on but not nailed. This makes cleaning easy, for they can be simply lifted off and the drop­ pings scraped off into a basket with a hoe. Afterwards the roosts and 2x4s are replaced, when they can be treat­ ed with keroseng, which will kill the lice. THE PRODUCTION OF HONEY Some Facts in Reference to the Busi­ ness of Bee Keeping in -the. United States. Honey" is produced upon a large number of farms throughout tbe United States In considerable quan­ tities for home consumption, concern­ ing which accurate data are not available. Producers of honey ex­ clusively are uncommon, except in California, although many farms In Utah. Texas and Arizona are devoted to bee-keeping and fruit growing as principal industries. Most of the bees of the United States are kept on fruit and dairy farms, as a side issue. . While there is a well-sustained market for the producL most of it never reaches the general market, but is consumed In the locality where pro­ duced. Honey is not subject to the same price fluctuations as perishable produce, but generally meets with a steady sale. That shipped from the far west is generally extracted honey, while producers in the eastern and central states sell mostly in the comb. The one-pound frame is the utliform package, a case holding 12 to 24 of these. The Orange Judd Farmer Is au­ thority for the statement that the production of honey In the United States is In excess of consumption, and something over $65,000 worth is exported annually. The total exports for the fiscal year ending June 30. 1904, were $69,317; in 1905, about $63,000. The yield for 1905 was well up to an average for the entire coun­ try. although It was only moderate in the central western states and in many points of tbe east. A man who was noted for his fear­ lessness once made a bet that be would at midnight enter a certain vault re­ puted to be haunted; and. as a proof of bls having been there, be agreed to bring away a human skull from a heap of human bones lying there. On the night in question three of his comrades had already concealed themselves there, thinking to baffle him In carrying out his purpose. How­ ever, just on the stroke of midnight, he descended the vault steps, unlocked the door, and with the aid of a lantern groped his way to the heap of bones, and picked up a skull, when a gruff voice raid: "That's my head!" He laid It down and picked up another, when the same voice again said: "That’s my head!" “Nonsense, man!

Mr. Trent was accustomed to be treated as if his society were eminent­ ly desirable, and it was therefore with a friendly and engaging smile that he addressed a melancholy person who was lounging on the piazza of the hotel at his first southern stopping place. "I'm thinking of buying a place down here," said Mr. Trent, in a halfconfidential tone. "Now what part of the country would you particularly recommend? The landlord tells me you've lived south tor many years.” “Yes, I've lived south a long spell.” admitted the melancholy man, “though I was raised in the north, and rth will­ ing to say right here and now that you couldn't find a more favorable nor a lovelier spot in this whole state, sir. than this very town. I have lived here for five years, and if I'd had anything like a fair show I should have en­ joyed every minute of the time." “You haven't had a fair show?” asked the New Englander. "No," said the melancholy one. "This is a lovely spot, and if I’d hail a fair show I'fl have enjoyed it: but the first year I had fever and ague, and the next year 1 was bit by a shark, and the third year I had an a^ful fight with a snake, that shook up my nerves, ami last year"— “I doubt If I' should like this locali­ ty.” said the New Englander, briskly.

Arrests to Be Made. New evidence -in the Galien murder mystery has caused the abandonment by Sheriff Tennant and tbe detectives of all theories except - robbery. The sheriff made a hurried trip to northern Indiana early Friday morn­ ing and when he -returned he gave out the following statement: ’’A plan to rob the depot caused t£e murder of Lloyd A-. Dynes at Galien, Monday. All of the officers at work on the case have come to that conclusion from the new evidence Just obtained. We know who the men are, but until we can Join a few more links In the chain of evidence against them there will be no arrests. For this reason I cannot give out the nature of the. evi­ dence. However, I can give ’ assur­ ance. that the men will be caught." Three Strange Men. Three st range IdolKng men who act-, cd suspiciously were seen at the Michi­ gan Central depot In Gallen by Presid­ ing Elder D. F. Barnes,, of Niles, short­ ly before Lloyd Dynes, the operator, was murdered. Mr. Barnts says he saw them between midnight and 12:40>a. m. "What do you want?” Dynes asked one of the fellows who entered tha offic », the elder says. "We’re waiting for tbe train." he re­ plied. "Want a ticket? I’ll have to flag the. train.” "We don’t need tickets.- We have passes." * Dr. Barnes says the men didn’t board the train. What may prove a valuable clue was the finding of a blood-stained handker­ chief bearing the laundry mark of Smith. It was found tucked under a platform leading from a handcar house, about 200 yards west of-the de­ pot where Dynes was killed. There is no laundry In the place. Glen Smith, who keeps a general store, and Is local manager of the Michigan State Telephone Co., sleeps at the store nights to answer tele­ phone calls. From present Indications the sheriff is very reluctant to offer a reward, and Inquiries as to whether any money will be offered for the arrest of the mur­ derer met with evasive answers. Considerable excitement was occas­ ioned among the large crowd that at­ tended the funeral In Windsor when It was known that the mysterious wid­ ow that viewed Dynes' body was pres­ ent. accompanied by her mother. The woman was heavily veiled, and after again viewing the body took a seat in the rear parlor. When the services were concluded she quietly disap­ peared In the throng.

Third, they are covered with blankets, light, coarse and cheap, and these are kept In place by elastic bands.

The chief objection to it is tbe labor Involved in removing tbe droppings, but this Is largely offset by the, in­ creased value of the same, as com­ pared, with having it deposited tn the pastures, where much waste follows. Much may also be done to prevent the multiplication of flies by promptly removing all manure from the yards In the spring, and by drawing dally or at quite 'short Intervals that made subsequently and applying it where needed. A free use of lime in the yards fa also further helpful. Gentle summer rains do not harm cows or milk while in the pastures. They may prove grateful to them.

Nashville Lumber @ Lansing.—as the M. A. C. honors Its birth with a semi-centennial cele­ bration this school year, the authori­ ties are looking for a banner attend­ ance and a record-breaking year, and all are uniting to make It such. Al­ ready many ■ applications have been received from new students, and al­ though these have not .been counted up. it Is estimated .that the total at­ tendance for the year in all depart­ ments and classes will aggregate over 1.600. Last year the students num bored 950. but the fact that the M. A. C. will celebrate the anniversary ot her birth with President Roosevelt-as < guest, it is believed will bring many of the upper classmen back, as well as attract new students. . Some are already at the school, ready for the beginning of the fail work, and from qow until the week of September 17, which marks the opening of -the college, they will re^ turn dally. Monday, September 17. the examination for delinquents and for those who desire to enter, but have not the necessary diplomas, will begin, and will' continue through Tuesday. Wednesday, September 19. classes will meet for the first time Id the college year and lessons will be assigned for Thursday. All the rooms in the men's dormitory. Including the new Wells hall, have been rented by .the students who were in college last year, and consequently all men who enter the freahmen and sub freshmen classes will have to secure rooms is Collegeville or Lansing. The woman's course also will be well filled and al­ though all the rooms in the woman's building have not yet Been taken, it is thought that J-hey will be by the time college opens. About 400 new students are expected. . Cails for the catalogue have been re­ ceived from all parts of Michigan and from many other states. A new sys? tern was adopted to interest students this year. Return postal cards were sent out to those who were In college last year and they were asked to, re­ turn the names of prospective collegi­ ans. The first day's return of this system resulted in a call tor 88 cats logues. which is considered quite re­ markable. There are three men from California, one from Arizona and an­ other from New. Mexico, who have signified their intention of entering the college this fall. The belief Is growing at the college that President Roosevelt has some­ thing special to say to the college students and the people of Michigan when he comes to Lansing next May. and that the main slogan in his ad­ dress will be "Stick to the farm." State Accountant F. Z. Hamilton has computed the annual state tax to be raised this year at 83.383.785.29. Thlr embraces all the purposes of state tax.on. including the one-fourth mil) x Lr the agricultural college. TLj .ax this i» lower by al­ most a half million than the tax of a year ago. the levy during legislative years always being higher. Last year the total of the state tax was 83.869.724.98. As compared with two -years ago the tax soon to be appor­ tioned among the counties is higher, the figure for 1904 having been 82,> 954.692.98. The smaller levy, together with the Increased valuation of the state, as fixed ’by the board of equalization, has taken a clean 50 cents off the state tax rate on every 31.000 valuation. The rate for the current year will be 8195 per 31,000. A year ago It was 32.45. The 81-95 rate, applied to the equalized valuation of , 3356.000.000 for Wayne county, gives 8694.200 ar approximately that county's share oi the state tax levy. The fact that the board placed the value of the state at only 3156,000.000 higher than It was five years ago makes it certain that the university will ask for an increased appropria­ tion. Under the quarter mill tax the U. of M. will receive only 839,000 a year more thaq heretofore. The total •mount to be received under the quarter mill tax is 8433.525 a year, but this Is inadequate under the growing needs of Increased attendance. If the state board had let the fig­ ures of the state tax commission stand at 82.000,000,000 the income would bo 3600,000 a year and there would have been no kick coming from this quar­ ter. . State Richer by 389.759. , The Copper Range Railroad com­ pany has paid 389,759 In full of Its assessments under the supreme court s back tax decision. Practically all of the larger railroads have paid their taxes of last year and those that accumulated while the new ad va­ lorem law was in controversy. Foreigners for M. A. C. From preseat indications there will be several foreigners enter the M. A. C. this year. One young man. who is is in communication with the. college authorities, it is especially hoped win decide to enter the college. His name is Rafael C. de Folentkio. and he is a native of San Domingo.

Michigan railroads during the year 1905 made a remarkably good show>ng in the matter of passengers killed ind injured,'according to their reports ■>n file with Railroad Commissioner Atwood. Only two passengers were killed and 15.723,682 persons were carried. Ninety-eight passengers were in­ lured in Michigan, this being at the rate of one to every 160,445 passen?ers carried, as compared with a rate jf oae to every 78,523 carried in the Jnlted States. The compilation of all .he persons killed has not been made but the showing Is to the effect that the persons in greatest danger from -.rains are those who trespass In the -allway yards or are careless at cross^ ngs. Of accidents of all kinds on the ■allroads there were 1.400. Including many cases of slight injury to em>loyes tn the shops. Dastardly Work. John F.

Further Investigation developed that probably the same person had demol­ ished several hundred dollars* worth of the plant's latest improved machin­ ery with-a sledge hammer. The sledge was secured by breaking into the blacksmith shop. Mr. Bible, who is a former mayor of Ionia and a well known Democratic politician, attributes the deeds to some one who has a spite against him.

Lightning Is the most freakish phe­ nomenon known. A record has. been kept by M. Camille Falmmarlon, the wqll-known writer, of some of -the most remarkable incidents of thunderstorms, aud he has come across cases where the lining of a garment has been burned entirely off by lightning, while the main material has remained uninjured. Sometimes tbe current strike* a man dead without leaving the faintest mark upon him; or It may completely undress him without hurting him. On one occasion lightning struck the entrance pavilion of the Prince Eugene barracks In Paris, just as the soldiers were going to bed. All the men who were lying down suddenly found them­ selves standing—quite involuntarily— while all who were standing were thrown violently to tbe floor. A very frequent prank of lightning Is the complete shaving of a man’s head—hair, beard and everything. There is on record one case of a girl having her head entirely denuded of hair. Including eyebrows and eye­ lashes. without so much as feeling the shock. Indeed, she did not know tor some time what bad happened. ■‘To Cure a Felon" says Sam.

Tbe American Mining Congress Which MaeU in October, Will Take Final Action for the Protection ot Mining Investor*. A bill providing for tbe punishment of all mining faxirs and promoters of illegitimate mining enterprises will be drafted by the American Mining Con­ gress at Its annual session which will be held in Denver, Colorado, October 16th to 19th inclusive. A committee composed of the beat talent in tbe United States has been appointed to prepare and submit to the Mining Congress a draft of such bill. This committee comprises two United States Senators, Robt. M. LaFollette ( Wla.), and Fred T. Dubois (Idaho); one Congressman, Ebcn W. Martin ( South Dakota), and the Governor of two. states, Geo. C Pardee (California), and Jos. W. Folk (Missouri). Four are attorneys aud all from mining states of prominence. Colifornia has already adopted a law which has worked an almost com­ plete riddance from that state of spurious mining stock and that lecher­ ous parasite on the mining industry— the fake promoter. Itis probable that the proposed legislatures which will be submitted to the slate legislation this winter, will be fashioned after the California law, which provides that any person who shall undertake to sell or assent to the publication, pri­ vately or publicly, of a fraudulently exaggerated report tending to give any person or the public generaly the idea of a greater value or less, apparent value or market value than such stock may really possess, with the Intention of defrauding any person or the pub­ lic, *'shall be deemed guilty of a felony, and on conviction shall be punished by imprisonment in state prison, or a county jail, not exceeding two years, or by fine not exceeding five thousand dollars, or both. Tbe efforts of the American Mining Congress to protect tbe investor against mining frauds by furnishing information as to the true conditions at the mine, has been more apparent the necessity of legislation to suppress this evil, and it is hoped that all ser­ ious mining men will take an active interest and communicate with the secretary, to the end that the matter may receive the most intelligent con­ sideration at the coming annual meet- in as strong a position to combat this You are cordially invited to come <jown to the SOUTH END STOKE and see our new front, and incidentally leave an order for Groceries from tbe freshest and best stock in town.

The habit of thrift that he acquired while paying for his house stuck to him and gained him much in after life, besides the start he got through the help of THE SECURITY BUILD ING & LOAN ASSOCIATION made him “resteasy" in his old ago. He was careful of his earnings when he was best able to earn, and made them count by investments that wore sound, so that In the evening of life he could enjoy the fruits of his former thrift. His old friend Bill still lived—still plodded along in the same old way, with nothing ahead but his week's pay. He novqr oould see the neces­ sity of saving for the proverbial “rainy day” or for the comfort of old age. Ho was possessed of a family and it now took all ho could earn to “keep tho wolf from the door," so there was but small pros­ pect of him ever being able to enjoy his declining years as he should.

Havana itself Is filled with leaders ot the insurrection, Who move with the utmost freedom since PreaUjeht Palma's proclamation. . . ‘ The intention of the revolutionists is said to be to enter the .city, peace­ ably if allowed to, and by force of arms If they are notA The only results thus far of Presi­ dent Palma's order for the suspension of hostilities have been that liberal leaders, who hitherto have had every reason for anticipating arrest, are clrculating openly In Havana again, and even conferring with meipbera of the government with regard to peace, and that such insurgents tn the. field as have been consulted, while they ex­ press themselves as agreeable to set­ tling matters amicably, at the same time assume an independent attitude which cannot be said to bode particu­ larly well for a prompt settlement of existing . .Acuities. • Americans Fired Upon. Sunday night several sub-officers of the Denver, who were automoblllng In the country, were fired upon by the insurgents. Fortunately no one was Injured. Some time since the govern­ ment prohibited automoblllng within the city, only officials being allowed to go out of the city limits in motor cars. The Insurgents were expecting Gov. Munlez and hel^up'the first au­ tomobile. After the first volley profuse apolo­ gies were made when the mistake was discovered, but it was explained It was natural to mistake tbe automobile, when no private automoblllng is al­ lowed. After starting another squad of insurgents fired on the automobile party, but no damage was done. Further apologies and explanations were made, and the party then re­ mained the balance of the night in a small town, returning to Havana at nine o'clock Monday morning. Rebels Rest on Their Arms. Felipe Romero, who was Instrumen­ tal In reviving the peace negotiations, said that the Inaurgents outside of Ha­ vana were ready to resort to arms at a moment's notice if evidence devel­ oped of lack of-faith on the part of the government, but that they were anxious to accelerate the peace efforts if justice was done. JTe added that the presence of the cruiser Denver had nothing to do with their remaining out of Havana. . balance on hand October 1.1905, 8114.­ 265. making a total of 8307,156.

I., has landed part of a valuable con­ tract in Mrs. J. S. Eardley’s midst and stirred up no end of trouble between her and Thomas Pritchard, of Booraem •venue. Flushing. Mrs. Eardley. who Ilves In Brooklyn, Bold six lots in Flushing to Mr. Pritch­ ard. Mr. Pritchard paid a deposit, and Mrs. Eardley signed a contract agree­ ing to surrender the lots to him for a certain price. Prices of Flushing prop­ erty have jumped up as much as 25 or 50 per cent, in one day. Mrs. Eardley heard of this, and her soul was sad. She called at Mr. Pritchard’s office. “I want to keep my lots," said she, briskly. "Madame, you can’t,’.’ he replied with utmost suavity. "Let’s see the contract," said she. •ootbln^ly. Mr. Pritchard handed her the pre­ cious paper, and in the-twinkling of nn •ye she had bitten a big- piece out of it Mr. Pritchard grabbed her throat. Then came a fierce struggle between hand muscles and throat muscles, and throat muscles won. for Mrs. Eardley swallowed a large chunk of the con­ tract and smiled in * bitter triumph at her foe. “I’ll have the law on you!” he cried. "Pooh!" sneered she. "I’ve got the evidence in my midst, and I'd like to see the court that can find out any* thing about U.” And there the matter rests. And They Are Scarce.

A hog can be reared In the pasture with the cattfe. almost without cost. It will learn to love and to follow the cows as easily ns will a pet sheep. Free-range hogs are healthy. Don’t let a crust form on cultivated land. Start the cultivator going soon after each rain. A crust means that the soil moisture can rapidly evap­ orate. A dust mulch prevents such evaporation. Stir the soil every week or ten days, until time to lay-by the crop. A Neglected Fence. A neglected fence Is always a detri­ ment to lhe farm, especially If It be a stock and grain farm. The neglected fence teaches the farm animals that a fence ihay be Ignored when they wish to get into a field where they should not be.

I? was ever* lusty, and as the years passed I grew strong as a young colt, and unmanageable as one yet un­ billed. He, on the other hand, kept his lair delicacy of look, and was somewhat frail of health, which made another reason for my mother’s loving bim. since she blamed herself that excessive grief for my father had weakened the unborn child. ’ I was lonely UH my cousin Joan came. Her mother, Dame Winchester, was my mother’s sister, and now both were widowed. Therefore they thought well of housing their grief under one roof. . But these are-childish things, and let me on to the time of the great was. My. mother was dead before those evil days befell, or else she had died of them, perhaps, as many a loyal lady did. And even at the Ikkt. dear soul, she left a barbed wound in my heart, for. said she to me. In those last pre­ cious hours while we yet kept her: "Roger, my son, do you love your cou­ sin. Joan?" "I know not. dearest,” said 1, and reddened, even at that moment, for I was a callow, rough lad, and would have been ashamed to think upon love. She laid her thin-hand on mine, and I thought she would have kissed me, for we had draWn .closer during her illness, but what she said was: “Listen. Roger. If-Aymer loves her. too. as I fear be does, let Aymer wed her. You will forget You will go out In the world among other men and will see other ladles to love. You are strong and valiant, my son; he is gen­ tle and delicate. Let bim have his love.” . I did not discreditably, and for my part in certain -exploits came to known os "Mad Mainwaring." But alack! those glories were well over, and here was I, a ragged cavalier, with but my horse, my sword and my little dog. And ere I joined some gay friends of mine, who were making war In another fashion, a great hunger came upon me to look upon the home of my childhood, to see that which I bad renounced, and visit once again my mother's grave. .1 turned my face westward, there­ fore, and rode night and day, till tbe watery sunset of a spring evening showed me King's Beeches, with its turrets and chlndteys black against the sky. The window was open and some one was singing, a ripe voice, which 1 was slow to recognize as that of my bro­ ther Aymer. With the -song went the thin music of a spinet. I hoisted myself by my hands on the window sill; yet, ere I had looked within, 1 knew what 1 should see. My brother, dressed soberly, yet with richness, leant by the spinet which my cousin Joan was playing. Several years had gone, and some­ thing almost matronly had come upon my rousing beauty, something so noble and ao tender that I must swear for­ ever no woman's beauty were perfect lacking that. The waves of her chest­ nut halr\were rolled away from the pure outline of her face. , I could see her little ears and the full, milky throat below the golden head. For an instant I feasted on her beau­ ty. Then my eyes wandered to my brother. He looked less slight than of old, but his Apollo grace and fairness, which I used to thins unbecoming a man, had not deserted him. The whole scene was so peaceful, so full of home, that It made his heart ache who had doomed himself to be homeless. And then a thought came to me that sent the blood surging to my head. Why. it was a home scene I looked upon, and this pair, with their happy quietude, were no lovers except wedded ones! I bad willed It so, or the dead had willed It for me; yet I turned to the night with an oath on my lips and despair tn my heart, for never until then, I think, had I realized my <ove for my cousin.. And so, swearing I would not come again, lest worse bettll, I strode off to the dell In the’ wood, where my Saladin pawed the gro :ad, and neighed lhe way I had taken. We, gentlemen qf the road, drop out of the world we once knew, as much as IL we were dead. Two years did Tom Selby, Dick Lavader and' myself lead tbe highway­ man's life, and if 1 said it hau not things to recommend It I should err. There came a night I rode alone, as fate would have It, and was scarce thinking of business, but leant by a wayside gallows in the shadow of a wood and mused as was my wont on the wherefore men were born into the world, only to leave it with not a hope fulfilled. Then, far away in the moonlight. I saw a great coach coming toward me. There were four horses, ridden by Now I saw the vantage Gw wood* great cowards as 1 have often proved-, such varlets to be, the enterprise were safe enough. Therefore as the coach rolled beneath the hangman’s tree, I Stepped out and crying. "Yield, knavas, to me and my men!" I flourished my pistols In the face of the first man. "Oh. Lord, highwaymen!" I heard' him sob: and. Indeed, the wood's’ sha­ dow might be full of us. The hvrsea-fell back on their haunch­ es and tbe great equipage* came to a standstill. I bent forward, calling to my imaginary comrades to stand, when suddenly, a great oath broke from the Immovable figure of a man that sat on the box of the coach, and turning U th» sound, I saw the four poatilians scurrying .like rabbits as fast as their feet would carry them. “Send your pistols after them, good highwayman!" wheezed the figure on the box; and. In "faith, forgetting what ambush there might be. I blazed away with both pistols, so that the rogues might have real fun for their money. . ’Thank you, friend.’' said I; "but whom do you carry with you?" ’ "My mistress, a lady so beautiful that when you have beheld her you will not FREE Well, pretty near it.

Then she stood upright in the moon­ light. a shining figure all In white, for a*long cloak of white satin hid the glories beneath, and since the domino screened her face 1 could but guess at the beauty within. "You are fronj a ball, madam?" I•'From a supper at my Lord Ciren­ cester's.” she said. “You shall go free," said I. "on one condition." "That I yield you my diamonds?" "That you tread a minuet with me here, it will recall the brave days of old. Afterward, that you will give me one kiss."She was silent an Instant. "Afterward." I cried, with a passion that fired me of a sudden. "I shall kiss no other woman. Be sure of that. And I shall not ask to see your face." "You will let me go unquestioned?* "That shall I.” ‘ "You are the prince of highwaymen," she murmured, as she placed in my hand her own. like the petal of a lily. Then on the turf, below the gallows, we went through the stately dance, and scarce could I tread it because of my desire for the kiss, that was to follow. When we had finished I took her hand and led her to the coach. "Now, madam.” said I. "for your beauty’s sake, and your loyalty’s. I will. If you will It. forswear the last condition of our bargain.” "The kiss?” she said. "The kiss.” I answered; though I thirsted for the touch of her lips on mine. "Nay. but you shall no:. ’ she wnlspered. leaning forward from her seat in the coach. 1 felt her hands hold me In a vice, soft as they were. They drew me to­ ward the coach. Her lipe met mine. Then her arms were about me. "At last, at last. Reger!" she cried, "and we have been seeking you, I and Aymer, this many a year," and the voice was my Joan’s voice. ' "But you are Aymer’s .wife!" I cried. ‘ / "Aymer’s sister, and your wife, if you will have me at last, who have waited so long for you, love! Come home with me. Aymer Is your stew­ ard, who holds your lands and your house till you come. Come. Roger!" I answered her tended invitation by taking her within my arms. I had no words to speak, and the future was long in which to aak questions. I returned to mine own house, a hap­ py lover to find my place kept ready for me. So was my mother's great love for my brother Aymer justified. For a true and dear brother he proved him­ self to me. The Central Store. Colin T.

Nashville Lumber E Lansing.—Secretary M. T. Murray, of the state' board of pardons, has compiled some Interesting figures on the operation of the Indeterminate sen­ tence and parole laws In this state. The secretary, expecting an attack will be made on these laws at the next session of the legislature. ' has ob­ tained Information from the 13 states In which indeterminate sentence laws are In force and from other states having parole laws, which will be use­ ful to tbe legislature in considering the question. During the 15 months ending September 6 which the present jiarole law has been in force in this state. Secretary Murray reports that 419 convicts have been released from the prisons of the state. Ninety-two have served the terms of their parole and have been finally discharged. -The number now on parole and reporting regularly is 266. One convict died while on parole. It is shown that 60 convicts out of the entire number pa­ roled have violated the’terms of their release. This is a trifle over. 14 per ceht. and is said to be an excellent showing for the law and Its adminis­ tration- by the board of pardons. Of the 60 violators of parole 34 have been returned to the Institution where they were confined to serve out their sen­ tences. Nineteen of the convicts who violated their paroles did so by com­ mitting felonies. The average length of time convicts are kept on parole has been one year and three days. Ot the 419 convicts paroled 257 were from the Ionia deformatory. 70 from the Jackson prison. 42 from Marquette prison and 47: from the Detroit house of correction. ' Railroad Companies Dispute. Officials of the Michigan Central and Detroit United railways were: before Railroad Commissioner Atwood in re­ gard to the petition of'Detroit citizens for better protection at the Kereheval avenue crossing of the Michigan Cen­ tral belt line in Detroit. Mechanical Engineer Bice, of the railroad depart­ ment, had recommended tbe instalatlon of a full Interlocker, and the question of expense was the bone of contention. Commissioner Atwood thought the cost of tbe protection should be divided between the railroad and the street railway companies, but the Michigan Central ofllr.lals objected, contending that, as 1.258 street cars pass ' over the ’ cressing to every 26 locomotives, the street railway com­ pany should foot the bill for the Inter­ locker. , Michigan Patents.

In a ' The game of ball between the fate and the leans at the ball park last Friday afternoon drew a good crowd and furnished plenty of fun for one day. The fate came out second best in score making, but they made it plenty interesting for their opponents, unu In one inning gave - them such a case*of heart trouble that even “Jew­ elry" Bement became scared. When Umpire Home Downing led time in the ninth inning and Rasey’s score card was consulted it was seen that the leans had the best of a 14 to 12 argument. Mr. Downing came out of the affray unscathed, although threatened man) times, and it was the consensus of opinion of both sides that if Home ever had any aspirations ’to become an umpire, his work in this game would disbar "him. The “leans" aver that.his decisions were "canned” af­ fairs and many of them had no bear­ ing on the game being played- The feu kicked very little, and thia might look as though they had the beet of the "tenth" man, but not s‘o, the um­ piring was all bad, and harmonized well with the playing.

That air space is put in there to keep the moisture from the ice chamber penetrating into the insula­ tion; because insulation Is not effective it It becomes- damp. The ordinary air apace has been abandoned altogether tn modern cold storage construction. The sharings that are put in do not make the Insulation, but tt is the air which is oonfined by them and cannot PLAN OF WALL FOR BER. ICE CHAM­ circulate which makes it The air must be confined so that it cannot circulate, and where the space is filled with shav­ ings or other suitable material there Is no circulation of air. and we have the best form of insulation that is known to-day. There is no other ma­ terial as far as I know that gives as good a result, considering the cost, as sharings. Of course, shavings are not fireproof. There are materials that .Will not burn rapidly. Objection has been made that shav­ ings encourage mice and rata; but if the sheeting lap ut on as it should be, without any openings left, there is not much danger of the mice getting into the shavings. The sheeting should be put on very tight without any openings whatever, and mice will not gnaw a bole through an inch board. COW LORE. A poor, slow milker will spoil cows, however good. Never chum fresh unrlpened cream with ripened cream. Butter is better when it is fresh than it will ever be again. When cows are fed any kind of putrifytng food the milk Is unwhole­ some. The operation of milking should nevfer be hurried, but the milk drawn steadily. Life is too short and time too preci­ ous to fool with cows that have any especially undesirable traits. Milk with the largest globules con­ tains the most butter, but the smaller globules are more suitable for cheese making. Cows will not make good butter when running on short, weedy pas­ tures during the heat of summer. Be prepared to avoid this. The total which In milk are largely dependent on the quality of the food given, while the' ratio of the ingredi­ ents depends on the breed. No one knows- exactly what a cer­ tain cow will do until she is tested. Even cows whicb give a large quan­ tity of yellow milk are not always the best cows. The better care and feed given the cows, together with the introduction □f new and improved machinery and methods, has greatly raised the av­ erage quality of butter in all parts of the country. Large Feeder, Large Milker. It Is necessary that a qpw eat a large quantity of feed to give a large yield of milk, but it is not every cow which has this capacity and this is the very point which should be carefully inves­ tigated before a cow is purchased. A cow in milk that will not consume a large amount of feed or shows that she has not a good appetite should be dis­ carded from the dairy as one that will not prove satisfactory. Dairying and Crop Rotation. Dairying playa an important part tn a successful rotation of crops, and perhaps no better means can be found of turning all kinds of grain fend fod­ der Into valuable manure and so add­ in* to the fertility of the soil than by feeding them to dairy cows. the Ohio Farmer, suggests the inclos­ ing with a anui screen the northerly, back corner of the dooryard. Being shaded by the house the corner could not be used for warm-blooded flowers and should be kept wholly in grass. Howeter. two or three rhododendrons or a single Chinese magnolia would thrive nicely set in the angle, leaving most of the narrow lawn free. 1 would plaat a tree 'north, of the front corper of the house, three feet from the fence and in line with the front of ths house. Thia tree may be a cut-leafed weeping birch, a catalpa specioaa. or a cut-leafed alder. The last is a very beautiful, round-headed tree, and Is not often seen in Ohio. On the other side of the yard, near the side but ten feet farther from the front of the house, a large shade tree should be planted. It should branch low so that the children can climb into it. and should be a rapid grower. A Western Beauty apple tree did ex­ cellent service alofy these lines and still stands south of mg house, al-' though partly carried away by a wind storm when 25 years old. It is 40 feet high end as many feet broad. An Ohio Nonpareil standing alone just north of my house spreads 55 feet and is about 40 feet high. It is 30 years old from the root graft If a purely ornamental tree ht de­ sired, my choice would be r Bchwedlerii Norway maple.. This Is as good a grower as the plain Norway but every young shoot tn the spring Is.of’ a brilliant crimson. Get a young tree and start the branches lbw. aay two feet from the ground, and if necessary to carry the top above a carriage drive trim up the several branches, making trunks of them. One toward the east might be compelled, by tying t(j stakes, to grow horizontally out from the trunk 8(f inches and then be allowed or trained to grow nearly per­ pendicularly. making an available seat after half a dozen years. The front of the yard may be plant­ ed by placing beyond the sidewalk at each'front corner a horse chestnut, one with white blossoms', the other with red. Thia wviuld remove the cen­ ter of the tree some six or more fbet from the front edge of the lot and en­ large the lot. Jo that extent. It would be well to plant two feet within the lot fines so as not to encroach upon the owners of adjoining lots who might cut the trees in case of such encroachment. Twelve $eet diagonally from the northern horse chestnut plant a white, double hawthorn, and up the line fence to the east 12 feet plant a scarlet double-flowered haw­ thorn. , South of the first hawthorn ten feet, just Inside the sidewalk, plant a chiononthus or white fringe.

Between the hawthorns, and 16 fee! distant, plant a weeping dogwood. Seriously, I do not see the necessity of doing as many do when selecting trees to put in a dooryard, that is. get­ ting the cheapest and commonest to be had. The past summer I was a the home of a wealthy farmer 100 miles from home, being called there to plan and advise about his dooryard. We were discussing trees and I was trying to impress upon him the beau­ ties of some of the trees mentioned above, when, after listening patiently awhile, he broke-with the question. "Are not sugar maples one of our fin­ est trees?” Surely they are, I had to admit, but they are so common. Even his fence corners had them, and he could get them for the digging, so he wanted to waive the Interest and edu­ cation centered in the better class of little-planted trees and plant maples because they were cheap. I have indicated in the plan a group of four bushes south of the back porch, but the position they should oc­ cupy is wholly uncertain, the living or everyday side of dooryards vary so In walks and outlook.

Stats Defeats Pratt Company. In the case of the Pratt Stock Food company vs. State Dairy and Food Commissioner Bird, the state won a victory when Judge Wiest dismissed that company’s bill, which attacked the new law regulating the sale of concentrated, feeding stdffs. Commis­ sioner Bird threatened to publish statements In a bulletin that the com­ pany had failed to comply with the law In Michigan. The company brought suit by Injunction, and. un­ less the case is appealed, the commis­ sioner is now free to take any steps the law ‘provides. The’company had held that Its product .was not food but medicine. Other companies were associated with the Pratt concern in the test of the law and the decision affects stock foods in general. Such concentrated feeding stuffs are brought under the control of the dalrv and food department and are subject to analysis. Lansing—The attorney general's department has prepared the answer of, the state to the Injunction suit started by the Wisconsin & Michigan Railroad company to enjoin the col­ lection of the tax assessed against the road for 1905. The legality of the present railroad assessment is in­ volved in this suit. As a new point Is raised It is believed the other rail­ road companies will tack the com­ plainant tn taking the case to the' United States courts. For the past two or three ypars the Wisconsin & Michigan railroad has been assessed 9560.000, and It was put down at this figure in the tentative assessment made by the tax commission last Jan­ uary. Upon the review, however, the assessment was increased to 91,800,­ 000, and the rate of taxation also raised, so that, Instead of being called upon to pay 99.522 in taxes, the com­ pany was assessed 931.228. The ground for complaint on • th6 part of the company is that It was notified by the tax commission when the first assessment was made that its old val­ uation of 9500,000 had been un­ changed. and that, relying upon such notice. It did not make a showing be­ fore the commission on review. It is also claimed that without notice the tax commission changed, the rate of taxation from >14.61* to >17.40 per 91,000 of valuation, and alleged that both the change In the "assessment and In the rate are void, it being con­ tended that the tax commission's ac­ tion is tn contravention of the provlBions of the fourteenth amendment to the .federal constitution. In view of that fact that the Galbraith law permit­ ting the tax commissioner to equalize valuations between the railroad and general properties has been declared invalid, and the tax commission has been deprived of the power to review assessments generally, it is believed the railroads Intend to make another fight in the federal courts against the Michigan method of assessing railroad properties. It is for this reason that many prominent men are anxious that the legislature shall restore to the tax commission the power to review assessments, so that no substantial Inequality shall exist in assessments because It is feared that the present railroad taxation system is endan­ gered by existing conditions. Secretary Prescott Explains. Secretary of State Prescott. In re­ ply to Charles H. Klmmerle's re­ quest for information as to whether any persons or corporations are owing the state for fees, fines or penalties, has written a letter to the Democratic candidate. In which he says that he presumes reference is made to the penalties . provided by law to be paid by corporations falling to Qie annual reports. Attention Is called' to the fact that 95 per cent, of the business corporations of the state are organized under the law which, as amended In 1905, provides for the sus­ pension of the corporate powers of any corporation falling to report. The re­ cent amendment Is said to have result­ ed in securing reports from corpora­ tions more promptly. Many of the cor­ porations failing to report under the old iaw were found to be out of exist­ ence or were unreliable and without directors financially responsible against whom proceedings could be commenced to collect the penalties. “It would have been folly to waste the state's money.” says Secretary Pres­ cott, “1» attempting to collect these penalties." Out of 500 limited co­ partnerships required to make annual reports. It,is stated. 35 have failed to make (he ’report for 1905, and these have been reported to the attorney general, who has recently commenced suits against several of the most re­ liable to enforce the payment of the penalties. .

An incident in the military career of ex-Gov. Bliss which a Lansing man well recalls was his escape from a rebel prison at Columbus, S. C. This was his third Imprisonment and es­ cape.

Tuesday night. One man, Supposed to be # negro, but more probably. It seems, a white man with his face blackened for the purpose of disguise, struck him a heavy blov*> in the face, which nearly felled him. He staggered back into the depot, whence the trio started to follow him, but de­ sisted. He' extinguished the lights Immediately and hid. and the men tied east and have escaped. It is supposed the object of the as­ sault was robbery, but as the thugs said nothing to Boomer, it is not known. The assault Is shrouded ap­ parently in the same impenetrable mystery as those committed on Oper­ ator Dynes at Galien, who gave up his life, and on Operator Armstrong at Wlard's Crossing. In each case, as far as can be Itarned, a motive is en­ tirely lacking The only explanation offered Is that some man or. several men have an insane grudge against Michigan Central night operators and are systematically going about the matter of getting revenge. "I thought of poor Dynes, who was killed; and of Armstrong, the moment I saw those men." said Boomer. "As In their case. I was given no chance to defend myself. I owe my escape to pure luck, that's all. If the blow that big, powerful man hit me in the face had struck my chin or my head I would have been knocked uncon­ scious. Then I suppose I would hare been killed. If necessary. I have no notion whatever as to their motive, unless, of course. It was robbery. That would be foolish, as there is no money kept at the Junction." It will be recalled that there was no money kept at Wlard’s Crossing nor at Gallen, except occasionally.

And though it is so often asserted that real love is grow­ ing rare nowadays, this statistician declares that love Is still the cause of all causes of suicide in both sexes. Gases of Explosives.

Work oh rebuilding the dam is progressing finely although a scarcity of men makes the work rather slow. It is apparent, however; that Mr. Keyser understands his business and when the work is once completed he will in all probability have a dam that will withstand the high water in tbe spring. A good deal of masonry work is being done on the west end of the dam where flood gates will be put in. The' flume has been nearly all completed; it has been made of cement and stone. The mill is also being re­ paired. and solid foundations being built. Tbe work on tbe dam and on tbe mill will consume several weeks yet but when completed will be in good shape aud should prove a paying in vestment. PLEASANT SURPRISE.

Tie Bachelor Cirl’a Mother Her friend found the Bachelor Giri alone, sitting in the melancholy twi­ light of bar studio. . ••What la it?" she asked. The Bachelor Girl looked wistfully out the window. •'It’s mother.'’ she said, and waited awhile before she be­ gan with a sign to tell the story. - “I'm a little tired,” she begun.' “I’ve been so busy all day waiting on moth­ er. She’s just gone out to dinner now and I'm taking a re*t.” “Was that your mother getting into the cab at the door as I came tn?" Tbe Bachelor Giri nodded assent.-----"She seemed very young—that is, judging by the fleering glimpse I caught of her." Tbe Bachelor. Giri was silent for a minute. "I have been away from home a good while,’’ she said, musingly. “About five years, ! think, I left home with a very distinct Impression of mother. Since I could remember she sat quietly somewhere, knitting lace or milts or socks or something, hardly ever looking up, very quiet, very de­ mure,-very peaceful, finished with life, as it were." She went to a drawer of the chiffonlere and got out some pieces of lace, which she laid in her friend's lap, say­ ing: ’This 1* the sort of stuff she knitted. She sent it to me for.pillow slips and one thing or another. That was when father was alive. Father was of a dominant nature. He controlled every­ thing and even body within hi* reach or hearing. That was why 1 left home. I had something of his will. I wouldn’t let him bend it. But mother —he had her under such complete con­ trol it was almost pitiful. He died about a year ago, and then I thought to mytelf: The dear little meek, van­ quished mother shall come to New York and see the sights. It will be a change for her. I hate to think of her there by the window in the old home, knitting her life away on useless lace and mittens. Beside,' I thought, 'she can polish my candlesticks for me and clean up my studio when I am busy.’ "That was five weeks or so ago," she said with another sigh. “I am fond of my mother—very, very fond—but. well, I will tell you. Mother came in all her mourning, dainty and sweet as could be. demure as ever, her big eyes sad, with the old ’done with life’ look that I remembered. She sat very quietly here tor a day, looking out the window in the same way that she bad done in the old home. The second day she took her mourning veU. ehook It out and placed it quietly in her trunk. It is there now "She bought herself a dainty gown of white. She put it on that night. A few fellows called. I introduced them to mother. I then concocted a little punch. Mother drank a glass or two. Her eyes brightened. She looked about 30 that night—not more. I served the punch while she entertained my whilom admirers. "The following day mother divided her time between adding finishing touches to the finery she had bought, fitting a waist correctly, changing a flower of so in her hat and washing her hair. Then she went to the hairdresser and manicurist. Sue bought some new slippers, l.ittle white slippers to wear in the evening, she told me. She added a trailing gown to her collection, which by -now had outgrown my clothes presses and chiffonier. She added a few more hats, a handsome umbrella, more lingerie and a long lace wrap for evening. “That night , the fellows who had called the previous night brought a few friends to look at mother. And she was well worth looking nt. She had bought a bit of rogue Her hair was in a marcel wave. An aigrette adorned it. She looked about 20 In the delicate shades of the rose lights. “That night as she Kissed me she said: ’All these years I have been asleep, Mary. dear. I have just waked up.’ “But I. too. was beginning to waken. Those fellows! They didn't matter. For all I cared they might go or come; but when Samnite should return from his trip to the west What then? "I dropped my work. I had to. I waited on mother. After the exertion of entertaining the night before—and she entertained well—sh* slept late. I tiptoed about, preparing her little breakfast I saw to her bath and put great soft white towels within her reach. All day long, from morning till night, I watted on mother. My studio overflowed with her finery. As she stepped out of her. gowns I hung them up for her. “My studio became a rendezvous for my former admirers, who -were now the admirers of my mother. At first I was invited to the little cafe suppers given in her honor. Then, by and by. they left me out, and from my lonely window I waved her kisses as she stepped gayly into automobile or pab. "It was all very well. It didn't mat­ ter, so long as Sammie remained away. My mother grew younger and younger until she looked like a girl. The long and dreary yedrs that she had slept had kept the youth in her. Tbe life of New York went straight to her head. The excitement became her. She was beautiful. Beautiful. And then—’’ “And then?” said her friend. "Then Sammie came home," said the bachelor girl. “Welir The eyes of the bachelor girl were fixed on the window, and they were *ld. “Did yon see the young man who was helping mother into the cab?" she questioned presently. "Yea." "That was Sammie.”—N. Y. Pre**. Good Roof This is important whether on a new ■ or an old building, and it Is not wise to wait until it gets cold to put it on.

Poisons that pass off in-the urine when the. kidney;* are well are retained in the oo^y when the kidneys are sick. Kidneys and bladder gel inflamed and swollen, crowding the delicate’organs nearby and sometimes displacing them. This is the true cause oi many hearing­ down pains, lameness, backache, etc. L’ric poisoning also causes headaches, dizzy spells, langour, nervousness and rheumatic pain. When suffering so. try Doan’s Kidney Pills, the remedy that cures sick kidneys. You will get better as the kidneys get butter and health will return. Mrs. S. Amupoker, of 2Q9 N.

I do not know what I would have done without them as my trouble was steadily growing worse in spite of all the medicine I took. The kidney secretions were irregular ami unnatural. I could not rest comfort­ ably, nights and always arose tired and worn out mornings. My general health was poor and this troubltrwas a great drain on me I had taken so much medicine that I had little confi­ dence in any, but I procured a box of Doan's Kidney Pills I soon noticed an improvement in my condition am! steadily grew better. 1 cannot speak loo highly of this valuable prepara­ tion and am glad to reborn mend it at [ill times. ■xFor sale by all dealers.

Mr. Taft evinced great pleasure at the progress made thus far. and it la evident that he regards tbe remainder of the negotiations as a matter of working out the details of the peace agreement This bears out the insist­ ent rumor In circulation here that the government abandoned much of Its op­ position to receiving the liberal lead­ ers, and it was apparent that the peace commissioners felt that, while there was no reason for rebellion in Cuba? there was real foundation' for liberal complaint against the election meth­ ods of tbe administration party. The conference began at half-past ✓ five and continued until eight o'clock Monday evening. Practically all this time was occupied by. Secretary Taft’s review of the situation. It was evident that be realized from the outset that peace could be established by recog­ nizing. in the main, the contentions of tbe liberals. He discussed also with the Insurgent committee the possible effect of tbe announcement of the . peace conditions, and warned them that the' continued Independence of Cuba depended upon their calmness, wisdom and .discretion during the pro­ cess of settlement. ■Prisoners at a Banquet. The prison members, of the commit­ tee returned to the IJresidlo Monday night, but not until they hdd enjoyed a dinner In the Casino cafe with .the other members of the committee and . friends. The greatest good humor prevailed at this dinner, which was In marked contrast with the grave and rather apprehensive faces with which the members of the committee approached the conference. Al!

Some points had not been agreed upon, but he was hopeful of a settlement Senor Zayas telegraphed to all tbe Important commanders In the field that there were prospects that peace ■ terms would be signed, and that the terms would be satisfatcory to them.

These probably would be agreed to at a meeting to be held in the Presidio, where tbe prisoner members of the committee are confind.

These were wrapped together in a newspaper of the date September 10 and bound about the bundle was a strip of a wom­ an’s skirt.

Through the day little of Importance occurred. The police claimed, with the aid of the military, to have the situation un­ der control. ■ Cause of Trouble. This condition came as the result of numerous and repeated assaults or attempted assaults upon white wom­ en by negroes. Tbe last of an even dozen of such assaults within the lim­ its of Fulton county within the last nine weeks came Saturday, when four attempts at assault were reported. Flaring headlines in the special edi­ tions of afternoon papers wrought the populace to high pitch of excitement. The usual Saturday night crowds were largely increased by men and boys who thronged the downtown streets. There was no leader and no overt act until late In the evening. Negro Attack* White Woman. About ten o’clock a negro man shoved a white- woman from the side­ walk on Whitehall street. In the cen­ ter of towu. Almost simultaneously a negro woman made an insulting re­ mark to a white man on an adjoining street, and be administered what be considered due punishment. * From this start the excited crowd, which bad become a mob, began its work of destruction. Five thousand men and bc?n thronged the down­ town streets looking for negroes. .News that a riot had started brought thousands from their homes in the suburbs and residence districts, until fuliy 10,000 men thronged the down­ town section. General Assault on Negroes. They made attacks on the incoming street cars. Each car was scanned for negroes. The trolleys were pulled from the wires and in the semi-dark­ ness of the unlighted car negroes were beaten, clubbed and stamped upon in an unreasoning mad frenzy. If a ne­ gro ventured resistance or remon­ strated, It meant practically sure death. ' One car half Ailed with negroes ap­ proached from an outside run. The mob dashed for the car. Resistance was made by the negroes, who had not been apprised of the trouble, Three negroes lay dead on tbe floor of the car when it was permitted to move on, and two more were beaten into unconsciousness.

I rode the bumpers to St. Loula where l ton* «! oa a Sunday morning. ’nm after- j noon I made two attempt* to get but; of towu on the Iron Mountain road, ■ but each llm». 1 was driven off freight train* by the brakemen. A* the walk­ ing wa* pretty good, 1 hit the tie* to Jefferson Barracks, where J aidetracked until za train came along after dusk. ' "It was a through freight, bound for Texas points, and I hopped aboard of a flat car on which were- two broughams. The carriages were covered with can­ vas and cleated, and I said to myself, •Jim, old boy, it you could only get in­ to one of those wagons a Pullman Bleeper wouldn’t be in it.’ I crawled 1 up under the canvas covering and I tried the doors of one, but nothing dotag. Then I tackled the other , one,1 and just as true as I’m sitting here I °hB of. the doors unlnclrod______ ' There was luck for you! 1 crawled Into the carriage through a narrow space—wasn’t as fleshy then as 1 am now—and. say, there were cushions’ inside ttfirt’d drive a man crary. I didn’t do a thing but fix up a nice bed for myself and I lore off about nine hours of the most peaceful slumber that It had ever been my good fortune to enjoy. 1 "The next morning the train got to the end of a division, where I got out and bought something to eat. I also quenched my thirst at the depot pump, and as I had ■ something like 13 in my jeans, I bought some tobacco and a clay pipe. After the train pulled out I got back Into the hack again unnoticed by the crew, and I enjoyed my smoke like those Turks whose pictures you see on the cigar­ ette boxes. ■ "When we got to Walnut Ridge, about 225 miles from 8L Louis, I had another opportunity to replenish the comminsary department. That lasted me until I got to Beebe, Ark., where I filled up on goose plums and peaches. "When the train ‘reached Texar­ kana. after a run of 500 miles from SL Louis, I got out and hurried up to the chief dispatcher's office of the Texas & Paclflc road. I knew the train would lay over at Texarkana at least half an hour, giving me time to see the dispatcher and catch my pri­ vate car before she pulled out for Dalits. . "The dispatcher was pretty busy when I broke in on him, but he took time to tell me that the Job at Ter­ rell yas still open and to get there at once. I was delayed several min­ utes in seeing him. and when I hiked back to the yards where I had left my special I saw it pulling out. Tbe fiat car with the carriages on it was in about the middle of the train next to a car of coal. I stood behind an oil tank, keeping out of sight of the ‘brakles,* and when I saw the coal car come along with no flat behind it my heart sank. While I was up at the dispatcher's office they had cut out the flat car. Texarkana being Ito destination. "There was nothing for me to do but go back to the dispatcher's office and brace him for transportation to Terrell. On my second visit to his office I found him not so busy, and ta an offhand way I.said: “'By the way. Jack. I forgot to ask you for transportation when I was here a little while ago.* ’ "•Yes/said he, 'and I was so busy at tbe time I forgot all about it my­ self.’ "He then wrote me an order on th© superintendent, which get me tho pass, I continued my journey within an hour on a passenger train, but I '■rould rather have. been on the flat car. 'Since then I had ridden on some of the most luxurious sleepers that were ever pulled over,, a road, but I never enjoyed a trip so much as 1 did that ride from St. Louis to Texarkana In a brougham.”—Chicago RecordH-rald.

Nevertheless It would hardly do Justice to Crlspannen to say that he belonged to this happily small class. Mrs. Crispannen was, as has been said, exas­ perated. and, being exasperated, she exaggerated Her husband did concern himself rather too much with what she wore, though. “Say, what In the nation is that you’re wearing?” he would ask her. ••It’s a dressing sack, my dear.' Did you think it was an ulster?” ••Oh; I know perfectly well that It’s a dressing sack. But the material. Great guns! Where did yoU get it?" “The material is dimity. I’d have got a nice burlap or astrakhan if I had thought you would have preferred It. I got it at Sweiilt’s." ' “Well, that’s something of a surprise, I must say.

He Is appre­ ciative of the garments that other women wear, as In the case of Mrs. Ferguson. He takes notice. About three weeks ago Crlspannen looked up from the paper he was read­ ing and observed that be had met Mrs. Spurting on the way from the station. Mrs. Crlspannen did not show any particular interest. Perhaps she sus­ pected what was coming. “You ought to have seen the coat she was wearing," said Crlspannen. "Yes?” "I should say. It was a peach. Weren't you talking about getting a coat?” “Well, I have been dinning It Into you for the last month or two. but you didn’t seem to be very enthusi­ astic about it and I’d almost given it up,” said Mrs. Crlspannen. with a note of sarcasm In her voice. “Get one," said her husband, gen­ erously. "You don’t need to talk, •bout It Get one. See if you can’t get one like Mrs. Spurling's." “What kind was It? But I don’t Suppose it’s any use asking you.

"That’s the very identical coat I was speaking about, and you declared it was the most hideous thing you ever say." “I never did." 1 •'You did, and I can prove IL" She went out of the room and re­ turned with a fashion book, turned Its leaves rapidly and put a finger on a cut, with emphasis. "There!” she said. "Pongee coat with blouse, front girdled. Do you mean to say I didn't show you that and that you didn't say Just what I said you did?” Crlspannen looked a little sheepish, but he said It wasn’t anything like the one she bad shown him. "Is it like Mrs. Spurling’s?" Crlspannen confessed that it was. "And you think I would look well In a coat like that?" "I know you would.” said Crlspan­ nen, stoutly. "It would suit you down to the ground.” ••Very well, then. Ill get one if you want me to.” A few days later she asked Crlspan­ nen how he liked the coat He sur­ veyed it critically and was then gra­ cious enough to say that he liked it pretty well. “But the collar isn't the same as the one Mrs. Spurting had." he objected. “Indeed it is.” contradicted his wife. “It's the same collar and the same coot exactly that Mrs. Spurting was wearing.

To complete the par­ THE TWO STYLES OF.EARTH ROAD DRAG. tition a small cedar post, but prefer­ ably a two-inch gas pipe, is set us shown at F. This post, F, prevents cows from stepping on one another’s udders and is much more conveni­ ent than a continuous partition for the herdsman to pass in by the side nf the cows to tie and untie them. The back of the rack. G, is made by naHIng matched flooring to back ends of partition boards, E, and front of feed­ rack is made of slats which are nailed to the girths H. I. These slata which are 1x2 inches are spaced to seven inches on centers, hang ((own into trough at lower ends but do not en­ gage It The floor of feed alley should be one foot above the floor of stalls. The sill S, 4x5 inches, and about three feet long, should be placed across the back part of each stall separately, and be mode adjustable to accommo­ date large or small cows. A large bolt may pass through this sill near each end and run down Into the gas pipe i>ockets o o o o, which are set in the concrete . -floor for that purpose. Back of the sill S the floor should slope slightly, but not too much, as the cows always stand with their hind feet back of this sill, and only step In front of It when they He down. Di­ mensions given are for cows weighing 1,000 to 1,200 pounds. For very small cows the sill would need to be moved forward and perhaps a false floor put into stall raising It four or five inches. Midway between each partition a tie­ chain 28 inches long Is attached to under side of trough with a swivel Joint, the opposite end of chain hav­ ing a spring-snap which hooks into a ring on the neck-strap worn by each cow. If a headstall is used instead of neck-strap the chain should be a few inches longer. Many of these de­ tails ntay be changed to suit the build­ er of this stall but the shape and lo­ cation of trough and sill are vital i> qulrementa. To make a profit out of cows there must be an even flow of milk and one well maintained through the season. countersunk. The strip of Iron should not be carried the entire length of the front log. The plank drag Is made’ from two pieces of ten or 12 inch plank, two or three inches thick and eight or nine feet iong, reinforced by a two-inch by -sixdncjt strip. The cross braces are four-inch sticks shaped to fit a twoinch hole. A board platform, not shown in the cut. is laid on the cross pieces for the driver to stand uj»on. Chains should be provided with which to haul the drag, arranged with a short and long hitch as shown in the sketch, so that the drag will travel at an angle of about 45 degrees with the direction of the road. It will be noticed from the sketch that the long hitch of the chain goes over the log around one of the cross pieces rather than through a hole In the front log. This allows the earth to slide unobstructed along the front face of the drag. We show a form of drag made from plans which are reenforced on the In­ ner side by two-inch by six-inch strips. Both forms of drag are effective and the one that can be constructed most convenelntly is the one advised. Or­ dinarily material for a plank drag can be more readily secured. A plank drag also has a slight advantage In that the earth will more readily slide along Its face than along the rougher face of a split log. • As can be readily appreciated from the cuts, the cost of a drag cannot be very great—not over three dollars or four dollars. A modification of the split log drag has been made recently by Mr. Ed­ ward Eisenberger, of Dudson, Ill. By meantof this modification It is pos­ sible lo ,incline the faces of the log so that they will slant either forward or backward according as it Is de­ sired to have the drag cut deep or shallow. As the adjustment of the log Is easily effected by the movement of a lever, It adds considerable to the ease with which It Is possible to dis­ charge the earth that may be collect­ ed In front of the drag at any particu­ lar point desired. This form of drag has not been In use long enough to determine whether it has sufficient advantages to warrant the extra work necessary In making the hinged frame and connecting lever*. His One Day The Beliorta have a beautiful back yard. It stretches green and velvety and shrubbery-shaded to the alley. Be­ yond the alley -la outer darkness, so far as the Belforts are concerned. The meaner streets to the rear have crept so close that cheap and weatherworn cottages are within hailing distance. Not that anyone froth the Belfort plate ever hailed them. Their very coachman was so haughty a personage that not even the reckless 'little boys from the cottages dared yell at him. Mrs. Belfort, however, had no inten­ tion of being set above any of her fel­ low beings, for she had a mind and theories about brotherly love and one's duty to one’s fellow man. Sometimes she even wrote papers on these sub­ jects and all her friends said she was a wonderful woman. When Russell Belfort, hef young son. got old enough to keep from achieving an .annoying collection ot germs, she said, she Intended hits to mingle with human kind. She was not quite sure what this meant, but at any rate it sounded well. So far Russell had led a secluded, cotton-wool life bounded • by carriage rides and occasional glimpses of other luxurious children who stared at him as listlessly as„he stared at them. He was fearfully bored with existence as he found it, but he did not recognize the feeling because it was chronic. . One morning, while his governess was conferring with hls mother as to which of bis clothes should be packed for the seashore, he went into the yard. He hated the stupid seashore, but be accepted it as a.necessary evil. He lagged across the grass, kicked at a shrub, yawned and then with a sud­ dent burst of daring tried to cllnxb the back fence. It was of solid boards and six feet high and never In his life hod he been allowed even near It. He got a splinter Id hls hand and wrenched an arm. Once up. he bal­ anced himself in a gingerly way and gazed out on a world ot small cottages and alleys..^, A boy of hls own age. whose dingy garments made him so much a part of the background that he was unnotlceable at first, had posed in the alley be­ neath him. The boy had a tin can and some string. “Hi. there!” aaid the a!ley boy, doubtfully. "HI, there, yourself!" retorted Rus­ sell, prompted by a new strain of recklessness. The two surveyed epch other. “Betchu can’t come down here.” taunted the dingy boy. "Little Lord Fauntleroy—huh!" This certainly was Russell's day off. Hitherto unknown feelings surged within hls bosom and so he scram­ bled and slid down into the alley, velvet suit and all. He was drunk with freedom. "I can lick you!" be boasted, vul­ garly. Back in her Delft-blue sitting-room his mother was mapping out a paper on "The Value of Hereditary Influ­ ences," but Russel] did not know that. The dingy boy looked at him with more respect. "Wants see me He this to a dog’s tall?" he asked, generously. “Come on an’ we’ll find the dog!" Down the alley trotted the dingy boy and Russell in patent leathers, velvet suit and a riotous sense of freedom In hls heart. All this fascinating world to explore—and bt> had lived all his life thus far without knowing about It! The day wore on. At the Belfort home mad confusion reigned. There was tiie family doctor, because Mrs. Belfort had gone into hysterics. There was the police captain, because the Belforts were too rich to be put off with a mere patrolman. There were relatives and friends. Everybody knew that dear little Russell had been kidnaped. Along toward five o’clock his mother was tremulously recount­ ing Russell’s many virtues as though he were dead and Russell’s father sat bolding bls head in hie hands. "He was such a gentle, timid little boy!” Mrs. Belfort moaned. "So afraid- of strangers! How he must suffer!” There was a cry from below and then some one stamped up the stairs. Into the room plunged a boy. Hls suit was smudged and rent, hls face wae shockingly dirty and hls hands were sights. But hls eyes were dancing and a whirlwind of cries, shrieks and demands for explanations as to where he had been assailed him. Thereupon the disreputable-looking child burst out In a torrent of worts concerning Jimmy Fagan and his brother Mike: about boiled potato dinners and a chicken fight in a cel­ lar; about tin cans and dogs and the delights of finding bits of glass-llke treasures in ash heaps. Never before had Russell Belfort talked so fast or at such length. Hls mother arose, pole but col­ lected. “He has brain fever!" she an­ nounced. "The shock of his captivity has been too much for bis delicate nerves! He must be put to bed and a specialist called*. My poor child!" Russell did not mind this inglori­ ous end to his day of freedom, for he was sleepy, anyr.-ay. Hls mother has ’never let him explain because she Is afraid he might lapse into- brain fever again, so the Belfort-kldnaplng case remains an unsolved mystery. But the remembrance of that one gorgeous day Is helping Russell en­ dure the seashore this summer!—Chi­ cago Daily New*. HARVESTING BEANS.

She Says She y/«» Forced to Give the Prophet Parted Forever. In an Interview Mrs. .Jane Dowle, wife of John Alexander Dowie, •'Elijah IL." said that she and her husband are completely estranged and that un­ der no circumstances will she ever go back to him. She politely says he be­ longs to the "down-and-out club." Glad­ stone, her son, sides with her. Mrs. Dowie waxes very wprm when the name of her husband Is mentioned. She says he is only a big humbug and fraud and that at the very zenith of hls power he would often laugh and re­ mark. "How easy those people In my congregation are.” Mrs. Dowle has brought suit In Mus­ kegon to set aside two deeds to Dowle’s former retreat at White Lake, known as Ben MacDhui. She charges that .she executed the deeds as the re­ sult of undue influent-e. • Dowie recently declared publicly that he had not known a moment’s happiness with hls wife for 25 years, as she was constantly nagging him. Mrs. Dowle charges that he even threatened suicide if she refused to do hls bidding. Their trouble is said to have really begun a year ago last summer, when they were living at Ben MacDhui. Dowle suddenly left the retreat and Mrs. Dowle says that a few days later her husband's agents came to her with the demand that she deed over the retreat to her husband. She says that they threatened Dowle would se­ cure a divorce, publicly scandalize her and depose her from the church. Un­ der this pressure, she says, she signed the deeds, although certain Dowle had no grounds for divorce. Boomer's Dream. It was a lovely dream that D. A. Boomer, Michigan Central night oper­ ator at the Jackson junction, had when be thought or professed to think that he had been assaulted by three bold, bad highwaymen, just as Lloyd A. Dynes, at Gallen, and Harry Arm­ strong, of Wlard’s Crossing, had, but alas! hls dream is o'er. Detectives of the Michigan Central reported after a full investigation that Boomer had tried to work a bluff in or­ der to get a day job. They say he wasn't assaulted at ail and that the crime, which was herahb ed as a counterpart of the Dynes and Armstrong assaults, was but the crea­ tion of his fertile mind.

Hundreds of lives were endangered by fire which broke out in the North Kears&rge branch of the Osceola Con­ solidated mine in the eighteenth level of No.. 1 shaft. The alarm was spread and the miners made a mad rush for the drifts connecting with No. 3 to the northward. They were then hoisted to the surface. Both shafts are sealed air­ tight and the only method of combat­ ing the flames is to cut off the supply of air and smother the fire. Nearly 800 men are thrown out of work.

In these times when living expenses have increased from thirty to fifty per cent, it is unusual to hear of a stand­ ard remedy being offered at half price. Yet that is the way Von W. Furniss the popular druggist, is selling Dr. Howard's celebrated specific for the crue of dyspepsia and constipation. In addition to selling a fifty cent bottle, containing a month,s treatment of sixty doses, for 25 cent*, he gives his personal guarantee with every bottle be sells to refund the money If It does not give satisfaction. This unusual offer has brought hundreds of customers to his store in the last few weeks, yet out of the many bottles of Dr. Howard’s specific he has sold, but one customer has asked to have the money returned.. This was done without any questions, although VooW. Furniss does not think the remedy oould have been given a fair,, trial. This remarkable remedy isdestinued to have the largest sale of any me­ dicine upon the market, for those who use it once, not only buy a second package, but they recommend it to their friends as the only re.ief they have found for constipation and dys­ pepsia.

MUNROE, CLOTHING SHOES THE RICH MAN’S ROOM "You know," said a big, plain man, who has made hls everlasting fortune and can afford to buy anything on . earth, but who still has a hankering for simple, solid things, "when we built our new house here In the city I made a stipulation with the women folks that 1 should have a room in It fitted up to suit me. "1 didn’t want any Daghestan rugs, or Louis XIV., or Adonljah XV. or any other numbered furniture. I want­ ed a place where I could scuff my feet on the floor If I wanted to and sit down without fear of mashing the chair or scraping off the varnish, or breaking something if I turned around sudden. They didn't- like that much, but they are good to me, and I've got the sort of a room I wanL or some­ thing somewhere near IL “Old-fashioned ingrain carpet on the floor, chocolate colored, with big white figures strolling around on It. looking natural as life. And I've got a solid old-fashioned rocking chair with a deep seat and a high, bulged ouL spindled back, that 1 can lean my head back In and go to sleep in as easy as I could in the old rocking chair in the sitting-room ai home. "I miss the old walls and the low ceiling. This room I've got Is a little high between joints to suit me, but when I shut-my eyes and forget it I can go to sleep tn that old rocking chair just the. same. “The folks did want to put. in a brass bedstead, but I stucjc for a wood­ en one and got it, but I did let ’em put on a modern spring and a good mat­ tress, and I'm bound to say that they do beat the old-fashioned corded bed­ stead and straw and feather beds; and I can’t see those modern things when the bed is made up. "And I've got a solid hickory arm­ chair that I can lean back in without bo much as a creak; no give In it any­ where. fm not afraid Its going down Under me and sticking me full of chair rungs and splintered legs. I can tilt that chair, back anywhere and put my feet on the rungs if .I want to with­ out fear that I am going to scrape off any gilding and without fear of hurt­ ing any Daghestan rugs. If I dig holes in the ingrain I can afford to buy an­ other one. “I take a heap of comfort in that old t’ckory chair. I can tip back In it and put my feet up on the desk, and not mind things at all •That big flat top desk waa a kind of a compromise, like the modern springs and mattrees on the bed. The folks fixed up the bed business, but I put tn the desk myself.

"And I confess I rather like that big leather iounge over there—that was another of the -women’s Ideas. I thought It was a little too luxurious looking to- go with the old rocker and. the hickory chair, but the folks in­ sisted and I let 'em have their way an(l put it In, and it certainly Is solid, anyway, and very comfortable; but everything else here, all the rest of the chairs and things, goes with the Ingrain and- the* rocker and hickory and I can stand the desk and the lounge with the rest, all right. *tThe folks say that they don't know what the men that come to see me think when they go through the rest of the house and then get into my room; but 1 don’t find they worry over It much. In fact I find that these old chape, who could swing an ax to-day If-they wanted to, rather like It. "Up here they arep't In danger of slipping down on waxed floors, and they're not afraid of kicking over some bric-a-brac In the corner, nor of smashing a spider leg gold chair If they sit down In It. nor of mussing up the satin damask of a 11,000 sofa I If they sit down on that "No, sir. Up here they -can Just plant themselves good and solid any­ where, and there ain't anything go­ ing to break: and when I pull open the lower right hand corner drawer of the solid old desk—you see I'm be­ ginning to call that old. now—and get out a boa of cigars, why, 1 don't see that any of them have any more use for Daghestan and Louis than I do. though they could every one of 'em buy 'em if they wanted to. "The folks toy that I'll come to It all right, some time, but I don't thlak so. Not that I've got anything against Daggy and the rest as such; not a btL I like to see the stuff around. It does make a sori of variety; and if the folks want laces and satins and gilding and that sort of thing, why I want ’em to have It and enjoy It; but I don’t doubt that for the rest of my life.

He said: “If a visitor from Mars alighted on our continent he would hear the pul­ pits proclaim, ’Glorify God;’ but he would find it the general practice to 'Glorify Gold.’ “Are we then in this twentieth cen­ tury to revertxWthe barbarous wor­ ship of MammorFr , Are Americans to renounce their Christian heritage, are they to repudiate the Hebrew law of righteousness, are they to disclaim the Hellenic call to reason and beau­ ty. are they to spurn the dignity and glory of mankind In order to concen­ trate all their energies on the gratifi­ cation of acquisitive instincts which we possess in common with the brutes, and which, when exclusively followed and satisfied, only leave us more complacently and more hope­ lessly brutish? “The universal passion tor money and whatever money buys is an alarm­ ing phenomenon. It has been nour­ ished by the colossal material pros­ perity of tbe age. It has allied itself with the ambition of American youth to succeed-, in the world. We should naturally expect that it would have met Invincible opposition from reli­ gion; but religion, already weakened by the decline of dogmatic faith, and failing back on institutions and organ­ izations. has itself been too often tempted to purchase the gifts of the Holy Ghost with money. Well, the craze may endure for a season, but disillusionment is certain. "The vice—the natural and almost Inevitable vice—of a generation which makes money the chief end of life is dishonesty and ’graft’ The cardinal maxim of such an age is ’Put money in thy purse.’ And whether the money be thine or thy neighbor’s Is a matter of little moment. That is to say, life being emptied of all moral and spiritual significance, and money being exalted as the chief good, the man who gets most money has not only achieved the greatest success but best fulfilled the recognized end of existence. "It is a generation which has no fear of God before Its eyes; it fears no hell; it fears nothing but the criminal court, the penitentiary and the scaffold. 1*o escape these ugly avengers of civil society is its only categorlcaL.lmperatlve. the only law with which Its Sinai thunders. . “To get there and not get caught is Its only Golden Rule.

After a ride of sixty miles over a rickety old railroad we were at last rounded up at tbe station known to many of. us as tbecamps of the famous Andersonville prison. A strong rebel guard conducted us from the railroad to the prison,.the distance being about half a mile. Tbe big gate swung open - and we stepped in­ side of tbe stockade. We were met by hundreds of poor starving comrades who were the very worst of any I bad ever before seen. They were longing for news from our boys at the front, but most ot all the home of their child­ hood. As the long dreary days and nights pMsed slowly away our hopes were well nigh gone when during the afternoon of April 27, 1865, it was made known to us that the war wm over and they told us that we would start as soon as they could get a train from Macon. Captain Wertz, the commander, was such an old rogue that we did not believe Lim. Great was tbe joy that now arose through our camp. That night about two o'clock a train arrived. Bon­ fires were started along the track, the gates were thrown open and we were ordered out. Tbe next morning found us at Albany, about sixty miles south and west of Andersonville prison.

I arrived here about 10'clock a. m. on the third day and reported myself at tbe rebel beadquarters, where each prisoner wm given bis parole. This gave us the brightest prospect for our freedom that we had for many long dreary months sought. We went from here to Baldwin; Florida, by rail­ road and from there we walked twenty-five miles to the union lines which were stationed at Jacksonville, Florida, where we arrived May 4lh and left for Hilton Head May 24th, where I remained until June .12th, when I sailed for New York City, ar­ riving June 18.

The probability Is that United States force* tn the Island will be landed only as a precautionary measure. So far as officials of the government here are advised, no trouble os a serious kind is anticipated; but Id accordance with Instructions from President RoosevelL hurried preparations are being made for tbe sending of an expoditlonsry force at tbe army to Cuba.

FOUEYSnONEMCAR September T.*th, Blankets We are fully ready to show you a complete line of Winter Blankets. During no previous season have we had so large a line. And our prices reveal extra good values. The Fuel Question. The winter’s fuel is a matter that concerns everybody at this time in this region, and the matte'- of econ­ omy in the healing of your home is where thar'tnost concern is centered. There ar$ coal stoves made that sell for less mbc.fv than Acorn, and at the same lime ttfey are morj expensive than the Acorn. For instance, sup­ posing you pay 830 for a stove and burn 4 tons of hard coal in one winter the .stove and coal cost you just 860; and then suppose you buy an Acorn and pay 840 for it and burn the first win­ ter 2$ tons of coal then your Acorn has cost you just 858.25, or 81.75 less than the cheaper priced stove, and the next year you have made a saving in Jour coal bill of S11.75. How long. oes it take you to pay for your 'stove from tbe saving of coal over tte cheaper stoves? You may have been told by other, dealers that the cheaper stove burns no more coal than an Acorn but the experience at those who have used them does not bear out the ascertion. We can refer you to users of Acorn stoves right here in the vil­ lage, who used but 2i tons of coal last winter and had better and more beat than thev had years before with cheap­ er stoves. It pays to buy,the best, and Acorns are certainly the best, prettiest, most durable and economical stoves made today. If you are go­ ing to buy a coal stove or any other kind of stove we want to talk to you about it. We know we can save you money.

Lansing.—Acta providing tor the appointment of county drain commia■loners by the governor In counties where the election of these offlcers.by Che people has been provided for by the legislature have been repatedly at­ tacked as unconstitutional. The suprenxc court, however. In a case aris­ ing in Livingston county, held the law valid, as being a reasonable exercise of the power of the state in the matter of preserving the public health. A Judgment of ouster was ordered etftered by the court against Eugene T. McClear, who was In office when the new law was enacted and was appoint­ ed by the supervisors. The office goes to William Alexander, who was ap­ pointed Uy the governor. Judge Miner who tried the case below, held that the law empowering the governor to make the appointment of drain com­ missioner was unconstitutional, and his decision is reversed. Several counties besides Livingston have sim­ ilar laws. Military Encampment Expenses. The exact, statement cannot bo given out at the state military depart­ ment yet as to the expenditures tor the recant encampment at Indianapo­ lis, but It is known that the sum will approximate Idb.OOO, which Is about >22,000 less than last year, when the camp was held at Ludington. The difference is represented by about tho cost of the transportation of the troops, which was paid by the United States government At the camp, Gen. Carter, who was in command for the war department, expressed the hoj>c that the experience luul been ■uch as to induce the Michigan na­ tional guard to go to Indianapolis an­ other year, but It Is believed the opin­ ion of the officers and men favor Lud­ ington for tho next camp. This is not the attitude of Brig. Gen. Harrah, however, who would favor either the maneuvers In connection with federal itroopu or a camp In the state at some other place than Ludington. Twice the camp has been held at the latter place and as the ground is well known to the old officers, there would be less Interest and Instructlveness in the brigade maneuvers. Whether the Michigan troops are invited to Join in another federal camp depends on the attUude of the war depart­ ment. Will Visit PWGI tastlturiona. Attorney General Bird will aoon visit the various penal Institutions of tho state to inspect the work being done therein ao that he may more tn‘talligently advise the wardens and prison boards as to what employments prohibited under the reoent decision ■of the supreme court. In a case brought by the broom makers' union the court recently decided that broom making in the prisons of the state Is contrary to the provisions of the constitution prohibiting the teaching of mechanical trades to convicts. Questions as to whether baking and cigarmaking are mechanical tradt?s are being presented to the attorney general, who is desirous of ascertain­ ing the conditions that prevail in the prisons before giving an official opin­ ion on tills Important question. It Is evident that all trades now In compe­ tition with prison labor will follow the example of the broom makers and en­ deavor to enjoin the prison authorities from pursuing them in the prisons. For New Primary Election Law. The primary election law will bp the subject of amendment in the next legislature, it is extiected. A proposed amendment that is being discussed and which will probably receive fa­ vorable consideration is one which ■would do away with more than one primary In state election years. It Is now provided that on governor and lieutenant governor the vote shall be taken In June, and for county candi­ dates and in the legislative and con­ gressional districts, in September. It has been proposed that the June pri­ mary be eliminated, and have tho gov­ ernor and lieutenant governor nomi­ nated in September or on some other date suitable for all offices. I-'— — Holds Great Camp Not Liable. Anthony Kamlnlskl. who was in­ jured while being initiated into Belle Isle tenL Knights of the Modern Mac­ cabees, brought suit and recovered Judgment, but in the supreme court the judgment wiu; set aside and a new trial ordered. Sult was commenced against the great camp. The supreme court holds that the men who roughly used the plaintiff during his initiation cannot be held to be the agents of that order. It is intimated, however, that if suit had been commenced against the subordinate tent, or tho persons conducting the initiation a different question would be presented. Gives Power to Governor. The supreme court has held that the law empowering the governor to appoint county drain commissioners in place of those selected by boards .of superivsors is constitutional, re­ versing the decision of Judge Minor, of Livingston county. A Judgment of ouster was ordered entered by the court against Eugene T. McClear, of Livingston county, who was In office when the new law was enacted and who was elected by the supervisors. The office roes to William Alexander the gOreruor'a appointuu. Two Fund* to-Benefit. Attorney General Bird has advised Auditor General Bradley that the pen­ alties paid by the railroads for fait ure to pay their taxes promptly must be credited to the primary school in­ terest fund which is to be apportioned by the state in November, and that the interest on the railroad taxes and penalties should be -credited to the general fund. As the penalties col­ lected amount to about a million and a quarter dollars the November ap­ portionment of the primary school money will probably be at the rate of 111 or |12 per capita, instead of >10, as previously announced. The inter­ est on the primary- school moneys, a large portion of which have been in the state treasurer's Lands since last May, will amount to about >150,000, and will be credited to the gen­ eral fund. WHO FIRED FATAL SHOT? A Mysterious Suicide—A TstLTMe Letter Discloses Secret Marriage— Various Matters. Dr. Frank Conover, aged 84, was killed In Ellis Junction, Menominee, by a random shot fired by a member of a charivari party. A heavy charge from a shotgun tore a great hole in his leg. from which he bled to death In an hour. The doctor was passing the crowd on the way to visit a friend. The charivari party was composed of both -bOys and men, who were in­ toxicated and all armed. They fired hundreds of shots and had the whole neighborhood terror-stricken. The doc­ tor evidently thought they were firing blanks. Dr. Conover was a member of the leca! Masonic chapter and was a well known sportsman and crack shot. He was unmarried.

MUNROE UNDHtWgAH HATS, CAPS POOTWEAP rird some offlcisl communications in which the name of Midshipman Leigh appeared more than once. Nearly a month later, ’ tbe Alcatraz was again at her wbsrf in Honolulu. She had just arrived from Ban Fran­ cisco. Her commander personally de­ livered the official mall addressed to CapL Gleam. . When Capt. Gleam had finished reading his mall, he sent for Midship­ man Leigh. "Mr. Leigh,” he said, “you are restored to duty. The admiralty will send an admonitory letter;*, but In view of your act of heroism and the request of Capt • Knapp, you are to suffer no- other punishment" As the Wlnnisook steamed out past the Amphibian next day. the Ameri­ can blue-jackets manned the rigging and cheered. The officers and the crew of the Englishmen were too sur­ prised to respond. A lot of bunting broke out from the signal-mast of the Wlnnisook. It took a minute for those on board tbe Amphibian to read the flag-symbols. Then there was a scram­ ble for the sides and rigging. CapL Gleam led the responsive cheers—three of them and a tiger. And a midshipman on her majesty's ship found his eyes so dim that he couldn't read the signal again. Tiffs Is what It said, "Bully boy. Leigh." By Richard V. Oulahaa 1 Midshipman Hoa.

It was stupid enough to be shut up ©n board a man-of-war with nothing to do except pace backward and for­ ward; It was Infinitely more so when there was plenty of excitement ashore .•with a prospect of a lively row before the day was over. Over there at Honolulu, the king lay dead, and the nobles and representa­ tives of the kingdom were sitting in solemn conclave to select his successor; for the king had left no heir, and had even Called to take advantage of that provision of the Hawaiian constitution which permitted him to name the per­ son who should come after him on the throne. • There had been talk of an uprising. Many of the natives had declared openly that they would never submit to be governed by any other than the Widowed Queen Emma. And it was said that tbe nobles and representa­ tives were opposed to Emma's succes­ sion. Just as Midshipman Leigh’s watch was relieved, a boat came off from the shore with Midshipman Arthur Bailey. “Oh, Jerry,” he cried, as he stepped aboard, "the old man said I was to tell you that you could have liberty. He sent me back; said he didn't need me. But I don't care, for nothing’s going to happen. They're as harmless as guinea pigs " Midshipman Leigh was over the sido hi a jiffy and into the boat that bad brought Bailey off. When the. boat reached tbe landing he stepped ashore quickly and started toward the scene of Interest In the town.

If the child urinates too often, if the urine scalds the flesh, or if, when the child reaches an age when it should be able to control the passage, it is yet afflicted with bed-wet­ ting, depend upon it, the cause of the diffi­ culty is kidney trouble, and the first step’ should lie towards the treatment of these important organs. This unpleasant trouble is due to a diseased, condition of the kidneys and bladder and not to a habit as most people suppose.

Midship­ man Leigh had managed to get on board the Amphibian without being obliged to exhibit his wounds, but he knew they could not be concealed in the morning. “What's that?” cried CapL Knapp, of the American ship Wlnnlsook, when he heard of the melee. “Led by a British officer? This is outrageous, and I won’t stand It! Call away the cutter, sir.’*CapL Knapp proceeded straight to the American legation and, accom­ panied by the minister, called on the British commissioner. The three thea went to tbe Amphibian, where formal complaint was made to CapL Gleam that one of his officers had led the British tars in a disgraceful attack on American seamen. Midshipman Leigh’s black eye and swollen cheek were all that .were nebeszary to point him out as the culprit; but be frankly acknowledged that he had been a participant in tbe melee, and made a poor fist of explaining the extenuating circumstances.

UNHOOKING THE ELUSIVE “ Bully Boy, STOVES Ingenious Angler Asserts Method Is BesL EEL. Hypnotic It isn’t so hard to catch an eel. Not infrequently you will land one when you are fishing for something else. But getting him off the hook without having your line tangled and tied Into Innufflterable knots—aye, that's the rub! When Izaak Walton wrote his treatise on the gentle* art of angling, he overlooked the eel. Yet the possibilities of this squirming fish in developing patience in the fish­ erman are infinite. The average angler, when he has hooked one, can do nothing more than rub bls hand in the dirt till it is rough with grime, seise the eel by the neck and club him to death. Meanwhile his line is all snarls and tangles. But an ingenious angler, with the nervous system of the eel In mind, has discovered a better way. The eel. properly handled, may be sootned and put into an immediate state of calm simply by rubbing him gently on the spinal column with a match or small stick. Indeed, no one who has hpynotlxed a crab by rubbing between the eyes will doubt tor a moment that the eel may somewhat similarly be put to sleep. It is the only effective way to de­ tach an eel from the hook. Try it! THE MAN WHO IS AHEAD. Proper Tribute P^id to Worthy Mem­ ber of Community. In almost every newspaper you pick up you are pretty sure to find a lot of gush about the man behind the counter and the man behind the gun; the man behind the buzz-saw and the man behind the sun: the man behind the times and the man behind his rents: the -man behind the plowshare and the man behind the fence; the man behind the whistle and the man behind the cars; the man behind the kodak and the man behind the bars; the man behind his whiskers and the man behind his fists; and everything is entered on the llsL But they’ve skipped another fellow of whom nothing has been said—the fellow who is even, or a little way ahead; who pays for what he gets, whose bills are always signed. He's a blamed sight more important than the man who is behind! All the edi­ tors and merchants, and the whole commercial clan, are indebted for ex­ istence to this honest fellowman. He keeps us all in business, and his town is never dead; and so we take off our hats to the man who is ahead. —Judge. Alfred Vanderbilt’s Banter. “On the Alfred G.

One night Mr. Harlan got Into bed first.

As he spoke the bed slats broke and Judge Harlan rolled to the floor. Senator McCreary caught and held himself in bed. and. as Judge Harlan reached the floor, said: "John, you are right, the next governor of Kentucky is still in this bed.” JUST A HINT TO THE WISE Bargain Values in Handkerchiefs.

Oh, Lllacsl When the thoroughly equipped soci­ ety girl answers the notes of her new­ est recruit she must use stationery of the palest heliotrope. Her'seal must be of the same hue and the latest flat is that her ink must be scented with the same flower. Count Boni, husband of Anna Gould, is credited with intro­ ducing this novelty Into the land of the free. He once shocked the pro­ prietors of that famous hostelry, tho Ponce de Leon, in SL Augustine, by sending for ink perfumed with violets. Common ink. with its plebeian odor, Count Boni asserted, was Impossible. So perfumed ink is going the rounds, and it is essential as sachet bags for the chiffonier or essence tor the hand­ kerchiefs. Hyacinth is a favorite scent for ink, for, being rather strong, it retains its odor much longer.

Von W. Furniss. “Bad for the Coo." A railway accident, as novel as it was In Its way sensational, is reported from Dunkirk, Scotland. A herd of 34 horses and 27 donkeys and mules, tethered for the night on some open ground near the station, were so ter­ rified by a storm that they broke loose and stampeded down the line. Into the dense mass of galloping animals a fast train from Calais dashed at high speed, killing 20 horses and seven of the other beasts, of which the car­ casses were horribly mangled. The slaughter forced the train to slow down, and it was impossible to get up steam again, as the remnants of the herd trotted calmly back in front to Dunkirk. The owner of the ani­ mals was one of the passengers. We are proud of the line of Shoes we are able to show. It em­ braces the best qualities worn by men, women and children at all prices.

Washington, Oct 8.—Mr. Yerke*, oomptissloner of Interne! revenue, with tbe approval of . the secretary of the treasury, has issued the depart­ mental regulations controlling. tbe making of denatured alcohol, the handling of the same and its uses. These regulations follow and ren­ der effective a law enacted by the congress.at its last session, and which provides for tho withdrawal from bond, tax free, ot .domestic alcohol when the same is rendered-unfit for beverage or liquid medicinal uses by the admixture of suitable denaturing materials, and tor the use of the de­ natured article in the arts and indus­ tries, and for fuel, light and power.

Findlay, oX Oct- 9.—Charged with “conspiracy against trade” in viola­ tion of the, antitrust laws of the state,' the Standard Oil company of Ohio and its alleged constituent companies, the Buckeye Pipe Line and the Man­ hattan Oil company wore placed on trial here Tubsday before Judge Gid­ eon C. Baker and a jury in the pro­ bate court of Hancock county. In tbe original information filed last June by County Prosecutor William L. David, John D, Rockefeller was mode a party to the suit, but through the granting of a request for a sepa­ rate trial Mr. Rockefcllor will not bo called as a defendant until the case against the company has been dl»posed of. . Mr. Rockefeller, it la said, will not be summoned as a wltnusa and will not attend the trial. Sult Seta PreoedervC If the manner of instituting tb& suit—by Information instead of by grand jury indictment—and the juris­ diction assumed by tbe probate court are upheld la tho higher state courts, tho case will assume added Impor­ tance, as indicating an eaaier and more direct method for action against alleged trade conapiractofi. Both tho manner of bringing tbe suit and the jurisdiction of the ■ pro­ bate court have been questioned by the attorneys for tho defense, but Judge Baker has decided against them on all points, and do appeal can be taken on these preliminary questions until after tbe caeo has been tried. Judge Assumes Jurisdiction. Judge Baker ruled that a violation of the Valentine law oonntltutce a mis­ demeanor and that the last sesalon of the legifilaturo gv« probate courts concurrent jurisdiction with common pleas courts over all mledemeonora. To this ruling as well as that on other technical pointa, the defense took exception. The Valentine law, under which the action ta brought, waa poaeed July L 1898. It defines a trust elaborately ou a oomblnntion of capital, skill or goto by two or more poreoDO, firms, etc., to create or carry out restrx> tlons In trade. Tbe violatious of tbe act uro defined as “conspiracy against trade” and punishable by a fin® from to »W»0 or imprisonment tor from six to 12 months. As to tho evidence required to oonvioL the statute says: Outline of the Law. “It shall be sufficient to prove that r. trust or combination as defined exista, and that the defendant belonged to it, or acted for or in oonnection with it, without proving all tbe mem* bers belonging to It, or proving or producing any article of ngreemeut or written inetrument at alL The character of the trust or combination alleged may be established hy proof of its general reputation as such.” The infonnatlon. to which the plea of "Not guilty" has been entered, al­ leges the formation of tho “Standard Oil trust" in 1882, and its continuance to the present time in domination of tbn oil industry of the state, contrary to tho statutes of tho trtate. Free of Revenus Tax. “It will also furnish to manufac­ turers who use alcohol tn tbe prod­ ucts of tbeir factories, alcohol free of the heavy Internal revenue tax now levied on the same. This tax amounts to about two dollars per wino gallon on alcohol of 180 degrees proof. It is believed great benefit will be derived by the people by this legislation and this certainly was in the mind of con­ gress, for few public mcasurus received such hearty and unanimous support as did thia. ' Guard Against Fraud. Tn preparing the regulations it was essential to adopt rules that would prohibit, as far as, possible, perpetra­ tion ot any and all frauds egalnst tho revenue of tbe government by tbe re­ clamation and repurificaUou of de­ natured alcohol through rodistfflotion or ether processes through tho removal of the denatured ingredient* added, and restoration of the alcohol to its original condition for beverage and potable purposes.

From Various Pointe to Show That Results Ar* Worse Than Usual ■nd Unexpected. Frost, Snow and Damage. From Benton Harbor comes the re­ port that thousands of baskets of grapes were frozen on the vines by the frost Wednesday night. Water froze to the thickness of a quarter of an Inch and grapes are mined and apples and pears damaged. Many grape vineyards hud not been picked, the owners hold­ ing on for a higher price. The loss will be heavy. The ground Is still covered -with snow to a depth of several inches. The first frost last year was on Oc­ tober 25. The “oldest Inhabitant of this re­ gion.” says a Ludington dispatch, stands aghast at the spectacle of eight Inches of snow on the ground on Oc­ tober -10. The trees still have green leaves and with their white burden re­ semble growths of evergreens In win­ ter. Sleigh bells are jingling merrily on the streets, and to all appearances winter has really begun. . There is great loss to fruit growers around about Fcnvllle by the freeze. The mercury Is down to 14 degrees. Apples on trees are frozen nearly solid, and only fit for cider. Less than onethird of the crop had been picked. Grapes and late peaches are frozen and a total loss. The heaviest frost ever known ut this season of the year occurred Wed­ nesday night. Branch county's fine ap­ ple prop is practically ruined, nearly all the apples were frozen on the trees, few having been picked. Republic reports a fierce snow storm raging for two days. It is the earliest snow storm for years. The ground In Marquette Is covered by nearly one foot of snow. Runners are displacing wheels. The temperature In Vaudnlia was 7 to 10 degrees above zero. Apples and potatoes are frozen. Eighteen Inches of snow has fallen In two days. The loss will reach thousands. MON SALE!

Furniss the popular druggist, is selling Dr. Howard’s celebrated specific for the cure of dyspepsia and constipation. In addition to selling a fifty cent bot­ tle, containing a mo nth’s, treatment of sixty doses, for 25 cents, ho gives his personal guarantee with every bottle he sells to refund the money if it does not give satisfaction. , This unusual offer has brought hundreds' of customers to his store in the last few weeks, yet out of the many bottles of Dr. Howard's specific be has sold, but one customer has asked to have the money returned. This was done without any questions, although Von W. Furniss does not think the remedy could have been given a fair trial.

Carl Herrick, a Nashville Boy, who is with the Marines, Tells of His Visit to the Island. The following is an account of the trouble in Cuba, written by Carl Her­ rick, a former Nashville boy, who is with Uncle Sam's blue-jackets in that country: . “Thinking that something In regard to the trouble here might be of inter­ est to you I will spend a little time in telling you about it. While laying in Puerto Plata. Santa Domingo, Sep­ tember 10th, we received rush orders to proceed to Cuba as soon as possible on account of the trouble there. Ac­ cordingly we left at 8:00 p. m. the same day and arrived at Monte Christi, Santa Domingo, tbe next morning. We remained there only long enough to gel stores from the “Dixie”, and then left for Cape Haitien, Hayti, where we stopped about . two hours and sent a cablegram to the navy department. Early the next morning we stopped off at Guantanano, Cuba, and trans­ ferred our doctor, who had been or­ dered homo, and received another from tbe “Columbia”. We arrived at Cienfuegos, Cuba, at* 7:00 p. m. At five o’clock that night about thirty-two men under arms equiped with everything for camp life were put on the tugs “Sky­ lark" and “Ramona” and embarked for the plantation where we are now located. After an hour and twentyfive minutes’ ride up the river, wo were nut on a train to finish the trip, arriving about 7:30. Sentries were posted at once, two sentries at a post at night and one In the day time. About an hour before our arrival the rebels came in and stole about twenty horses. Over fifty altogether have been taken. This ranch is owned by a company in Boston and is a sugar plantation, covering over 22,000 acres, and worth over *1,500,000. On the fifteenth, about fifteen horse­ men were held up by the sentry, ana :the same afternoon one of the scouts from this place reported three hun­ dred and fifty rebels heading for here. The guards were called up and were ready, but the rebels turned at the cross roads and went around. Yesterday morning an armed man wm held up and searched by a sentry, being suspected of being a rebel spy. At 5:30 that evening the rebel gen­ eral and three other officers came to our lines under the flag of truce and had a talk with Mr. Hughs, tbe man­ ager of the plantation. A large num­ ber of rebels remained behind about a mile from our lines, but in plain view. Early this morning we were called out on the double and about one hun­ dred rebels passed by. Still later in the afternoon another body passed. There are about thirty more men from the ship -stationed |on another plantation near here. A bunch of Cuban cavalry is also there. It is now about five o’clock and sentries have been reporting rebels passing back and forth on the north and west side of our lines. We are here to protect American property, therefore we cannot attack the men unless they attempt to attack us or destroy pro­ perty. I do not know how long we will be here but it appears as though it would be for a long time, perhaps weeks or even months. Two ships are expected in Cienfuegos soon, the "Minneapolis" and "Diiie". When they arrive we expect to get reinforce­ ments. Telephone, telegraph and cable wires are cutoff all over the is­ land and mail is also bothered some­ times.” In a letter received later, Carl tells of his removal to Palmira, Cuba. "Well, you see I’m not on the plantation now, but am in among tbe rebels thicker than ever. We left the plantation on the 21st after one week's stay, being relieved by about thirty marines. Everything was quiet when we left. Early in the morning sixty four blue jackets, twenty-five marines and five officers boarded tbe train at Clenfuego*. We took two one pounder guns, two Coltfs automatic guns and several thousand pounds of ammunition. Each man had one hundred rounds in his belt besldea. The train had two armored cars for infantry, one for artillery up­ on which we mounted the four guns, one Hat car of stores, a passenger coach and an armored engine. When we arrived at Palmyra the train was surrounded by abont 1,000 rebels, this town having been captured by the rebels. It was explained that we were here only to protect the Cuban Central railway aud property, which quieted them iomewhat. A squad of men took up headquarters In each car. No oqe except United States troops are allowed to ride on the train under arms. Sentries were posted at once. . Our sentries and the rebel sentries are’ only ab -ut five feet apart. All trains hy the United States flag. Yesterday we received the threeinch gun from the ship, which was mounted on tbe artillery car. We have been building, fortifications ever since we arrived, today putting armor plates around the tep of the tower where the Colt guns are mounted. I don’t kqow how long we will be here or where our next dove will be, but It is thought that we will go to­ wards Havana." UNDERWEAR HATS, CARS FOOTWEAR ing this Bev. Branch related several incidents of church history and said that although the pathway had been stormy and rough it had proven a wonderful discipline, and that their characters were being shaped for greater struggles and that Christ was fitting them for grander achievements.

The reunion began Thursday even­ sacred by those of authority; even al­ ing with a prayer meeting led by the most penniless and friendless he came to save the world. When he was crucified and was bleeding on the cross, there was no one who aid 'not think Christ's purpose bad be*n one of failure, yet he even then amid scoff and scorn, gave a erv of victory, “It is finished”. He could not fail or be discouraged. Why should Christ's people be discouraged when the great leader of tbe faith is not? Blessings often come in .disguise. If obstacles were removed we would come forth worthless creatures. Nothing is a failure unless we wish to make it such: failures are but stepping stones to victory. Saturday forenoon Rev T. G. Lew­ is of Jackson gave his address, “Loyalty to Our Church”. Among tbe many good things of his address he said that if each Christian would convert one soul to Christ every year in ten years the whole world would be converted. He said that education and wealth were not vital needs, but God If nest was one, and loyalty to tbe church means loyalty to Christ.

On Monday evening at Tbe Auditorium tbo new and greater produc­ tion of Gen. Lew Wallace’s stirring biblical romance was unfolded and scored tbe greatest triumph of any dramatic spectacle in tbe auuals of Chicago amuse­ ments. "Ben-Hur” as now arranged and staged by tbe Klaw A Erlanger Company is a marvelous piece of stagecraft. No theatre in America furnishes such oppor­ tunities for a colossal presentation as does the Chicago Auditorium. Tbe Holy City of Jerusalem, with its olive-clad hills stretching into the dim distance, which softens tbe bniiiant colors of tbe East, makes a picture of wondrous beauty. The interior of tbe Roman galley, ils capture and 'shipwreck, the raft of Ben-Hur buffeted by the angry wares in mid-ccean, and tbe rescue, are all strangely realistic. Tbe tent of tbe Arabian Sbelk Ilderlm glows with barbaric splendor. Tbe scene on tbe moonlit lake in tbe Orchard of Palms, where the beautiful Iras reclines in her barge and drifts down tbe silvery waters to the soft music of her lyre, would be a fitting setting for that other beautiful daughtcrof tbe Nilet, Cleopatra, who long before had charmed tbe Roman Antony into, forgetfulness of faith and duty. . ' Tbe scenes of all scenes, however, is tbe miracle on tbe Mount of Olives, with which the performance terminates. It shows tbe reunion of the Prince of Hur with his mother and sister, after tbe pas­ sing of Christ into Jerusalem. The mother and sister, who have been afflicted with leprosy, have been cleansed by the Nazarenc. and they arc surrounded by a wondering multitude who sing praises to Jesus of Nazareth. In this incident of tbe drama Christ does not appear in personality. Tbe curtain rises on the gathering of the' multitude who came out of Jerusalem to worship Him, waving branches of palm and sing­ ing anthems. Tbe lepers appear; guided by Amrab. the faithful servant of tbe House of Hur. Christ passes higher up tbe Mount; - - the afflicted ones raise their hands to Him in supplication and a great shaft of wondrously brilliant light, suggestive of His presence, falls on their heads and they arc healed. The music of this scene is grandly Impressive. A's tbe curtain falls, a chorus of several .hundred voices chants, "This is Jesus ot-Nazareth” while an orchestra of fifty players in con­ junction with Tbe Auditorium's great pipe organ, renders tbe theme, “Tbe Star of Bethlehem.” School Shoes We have in an elegant line of serviceable school shoes, and the prices on them are very low, for the quality of the shoes.

The plan, is shown in the accompanying sketch. Cedar posts are placed in tbit case, a little less th ftp eight feet apart (They should not be more than this distance for pen fences.) The posts were notched out at the bottom and top one inch deep and the width oi the 2x6. Thus the 2x6's when firmly spiked in place, instead of being flush, projected an iuch out from the surface of the post. The 26-inch woven wire was placed ■on the posts with top and bottom (wires Just touching the 2x6‘s. . The - woven wire was not stapled to the end posts but each strand brought around the post and wrapped on it­ self. The. wire fencing was also stapled to the intermediate cedar post and the top and bottom wires to the 2x6’s, against which they rested. The woven wire used was special Ihog fence with seven lateral wires, top arid bottom wires No. 9 and in­ termediate No. 12. There are 28 No. 'll cross wires to the rod. The woven wire and 2x6 make the fence 38 inches high. This has furnished a cheap . fence and after three seasons' use we are -perfectly satisfied with it..

Aygarn. of Pon­ tiac, Ill., who for 18 years was a grain dealer at that station, told his story before the session of the Interstate commerce commission that began its hearings in Judge Bethea’s courtroom in the federal building Monday. Tears streamed down Aygarn's face. He sobbed as he testified to hl* losses.

I incurred the displeasure of Its officials and I found it hard to get cars tn which to ship my groin. Foolishly, I thought I oould fight them and 1 withdrew, and then it became impossible- for me to get cars.

"Then they were forced to sell to the regular association man at my sta­ tion and the next day the Wabash railroad furnished all the cars he wanted, though I had been waiting Cor weeks. Other times, when I got cars the companies refused to haul them and on one occasion I was compelled to unload a car that hud stood on the Illinois Central switch for weeks be­ cause the farmer who owned the grain feared he would lose his market. He shipped through the regular dealer and there was no trouble in getting the cars hauled. ”1 have lost 310,000 and besides owe thousands. It maked me heartsick to think of It. after all the years I have labored." Forced Out ot Busin***. ■ H. H. Carr, formerly a commission man on the board of trade, told in a dramatic fashion of his struggle against the same forces which Aygarn said had forced him out of business. Laying two record books on the table before him Carr said: “There.are the names of 7,000 farm­ ers situated in the ceptral western states, who at one time were custom­ ers of mine. All of them have been 'forced to qult^lealtng with me. 1 have been boycotted and blacklisted by the associations In this and other states and by the railroads, and as a conse­ quence 1 am ’busted.’ 1 haven’t any­ thing to-day but the right to protest against this system."

Tbe goal lines were, however, at no time in special danger of. being crossed. In the second’half Hastings changed her line­ up somewhat, took a decided brace and carried the ball dangerously near the Nashville goal. There it was that the Nashville boys would stand like a stone wall and so the ball was carried back and forth for some twelve minutes. Then came• the critical mo­ ment From Nashville's twenty yard 'lipe, and behind a pretty interference, Brooks for Hastings ran around Nashville's left end and placed tbe pig­ skin squarely behind tbe goal.

F. of Michigan which was held at Ludington October 16. 17 and 18. proved to bo the largest and moat en­ thusiastic meeting of any in the history of the order in -Michigan. From Monday noon until Thursday evening the 3-link fraternity had entire possession of the city. The first train to arrive came in at 12:10 p m. Monday. It carried twelve coaches which were filled to the limit. A special followed at 6:30 p. m. and the regular train al 9:45, both being loaded. The last to arrive came Tuesday evening. Many of the upper peninsula members came across the lake. The arrangements of the reception com miltec were sd perfect there was no trouble whatever. As fast as the people arrived they were assigned to their lodging places and everything moved as by clock work. The city of Ludington ex­ tended the most liberal hospitality to the visiting multitude and the citizens seemed to vie with each other In tbeir attention to tbeir visitors. A special session was held Monday eve­ ning for the purpose of conferring past official and grand lodge degrees. A pub­ lic reception was held Tuesday at 9 a. m. for the grand lodge, Rebekah assembly and visitors. The exercises consisted of ■‘Introduction’’, bytbechairman, welcome and freedom of tbe city by the mayor, Hoc. F. W. Graham. Address of welcome in behalf of Ludington by Hon. R. P. Bishop. Welcome address in behalf of Rebekah degree by Mrs. Mary A. Ransoni. Response by Grand Master B. J. Orr. Response by president of Rebekah assembly, Mrs. Jennie PUkcy. During Wednesday’s session a very touching Incident occurred. A report had been circulated that tbe grand secretary, H. N. Wilder, had been guilty of misap­ propriation of tbe, funds of lhe order. Charges had also been preferred. A special committee was appointed to in­ vestigate: tbe committee found that the grand secretary had endorsed paper tor lhe real defaulter and that every dollar had been made good. A motion was made to adopt the resolution exonerating the grand secretary. It was carried with a shout that nearly raised the roof. Tbe grand secretary, with an effort, managed to gain his feet and as be did so the big tears rolled down his cheeks. Swallowing a big lump in bls throat be finally man­ aged to say, "Brothen, sometime I’ll ho able to thank yon, but not now."

Downing, Auct. �and Here is where y<Ju have the advant­ age of the mail order house ; after your price has caught the buyer you can show him the goods, which is al­ ways more satisfactory to the buyer than the “unsight and unseen” way they are compelled to undergo when they buy. of the mail order houses,. Almost anyone knows that you can not g?t.value received, year in and year out, buying from a mail order house ; you will get‘“soaked” soon­ er or later. You may have gotten a bargain once, just as bait, blit look out; the time will cbme if you continue to buy of them when you’ll get “stung.” You can’t go to them and get it made right. What do they care for you? They’ve got your money and pass you by on the strength of the old saw that “there’s a sucker bom every minute and none ever die”. Mr. Merehjmt, get nearer to your trade. Tell them what you’ve got to sell and tell them what the price is; that is the only way you can drive the mail or­ der octopus from your field.

MUNROE CLOTHING take HATS So much has been said regarding the mail order houses and how they are “cutting in” on the .smaller dealer that it seems almost impos­ sible to find any new way to combat this evil; however there is a way for the merchant in small towns to suc­ cessfully compete with them and a way that he can eventually drive them from his territory, and that way is by fighting him with his own weapon—advertising. In this day and age of the world no man can successfully do business without ad­ vertising. No matter if he has gold dollars to sell for ten cents, he would never sell a one if he didn’t advertise the fact that he had for sale. If he wanted to sell them he would have to advertise them or no one would know he had them for sale. The mail order houses have shrewd advertising mtn—men who know the value of advertising­ men who know that the sales of their house depends upon them, for if these houses did not advertise they would not do a dollar’s worth of businesss. These men place the advertising of their house just as the local merchant should his—they keep at it, they give time and thought to their advertising, they don’t leave it until the “last minute” and then not do it because they haven’t time. It is just as nec­ essary to them that their adver­ tising goes out on time and regular­ ly as it is to have fire under the boiler to make steam. The advertising matter of the big. mail order houses that comes to Nashville alone would make the average dealer throw up his hands and declare that it could not possi­ bly pay the advertiser; but it does, or they would not have been doing it all these years. There is no doubt but what it pays them and pays them big. What would not Sears, Roebuck & Co. or Montgom­ ery Ward &„Co. give to be allowed SHOES to tell of their bargains through the columns of the country weeklies? There is not a country paper in Michigan but could have a good sized advertisement from all these houses if the editors of the papers would accept it; not a little half-column advertisement, but one commensurate with the size of the business they wished to do. When the metchants of the small towns come to a realization of the fact that advertising is an investment and not an expense, then will they come qloser to holding the trade at home that now goes to the big mail order houses. When these houses have anything to sell they tell about it; they don’t think you’re going to write xthem and ask them what they’ve got to sell—time’s too precious, thay can’t wait for that. The writer was talking with a man the other day who had made a pur­ chase of an article from a mail or­ der house, and in the course of the conversation the man remarked that he didn’t suppose that it could be bought in Nashville. It could, just the same, in better quality at less price, but no one ever knew the merchant had the article—he had :never advertised it nor the price, so how was anyone to know it was to be found in the stores in Nashville? The fact that you have a little ad­ vertisement in the paper stating that you have furniture for sale, that you sell dry goods, stoves, hardware, clothing, jewelry, shoes or anything, as cheap as anybody, is not advertising; it does not con­ vey any argument to. the intended purchaser. When the catalogues come from the mail order houses they tell you what they have to sell, they show you a picture of it, give a full description and always state the price. The latter is what catches the buyer—if the price is right he will investigate—if it’s in the catalogue from the mail order AUCTION Through five consecutive years, the United States has enjoyed a de­ gree of prosperity without precedent in half a century. In these five years, the nation’s volume of trade has very nearly doubled. There has been a great increase in farm products; for every $100 which the farmer of 1895 or 1896 had to live on, to buy with, to spend, he had very near to $250 in 1905. And in spite of this great prosperity, the people are clamoring for their rights as never before. It is safe to say that the old callous days when poli­ ticians were permitted to run the country as they chose, are going for good. Don’t let the candidates coax you into an election quarrel. Yoq know the candidates and. the issues. Do the best possible -thing with your vote and let it go at that. When you become a candidate yourself, go crazy, but don't go crazy be­ cause some other man is a candidate. A man claims that he not only quit smoking three months ago, but carries cigars around in his pocket to aggravate himself. At home he al­ ways has cigars in sight. You may want to know who this wqnder is, and we’ll tell you. He’s the big­ gest liar in town. With election but a couple of weeks away there is very little enthusiasm being shown around this neck o’ the woods. There has been no barn­ storming special, no red fire and no band music to remind one that an important election is approaching. Some one said that Doc Law’s hair stood up when he came down stairs expecting to find burglars, but we believe he has good proof to substantiate an alibi. However, you haven’t teen any­ thing of a big dredge throwing mud up on the banks of Thornapple river thro Nashville, have you? meat in easily digested fasm. The question is I Did John Tay­ lor have “buck fever”, or vasn't tbe gun loaded? ALL ORUOGiaTSl SOc. AND Sl.OO. could have been made. Mr. Hinkley has a large acquaintance throughout the county, having lived here ■Ince boyhood, and "having many times rep­ resented hl* township on the county board ot supervisors. And in all his large acquaintance not one man can be found who will-say that John Hink­ ley is not eminently .qualified for the position for which he has been named. He Is a man et mature years, a farm­ er, a veteran who served four years in the civff war, a man of the people, a man who does his own thinking, and a man who will do what he believes is right* in spite of all opposition and all obstacles. A man of rugged honesty, he has made his own way. In tbe world,‘and iu his own township and his own neighborhood, where be has lived all- his life, Is universally re­ spected and esteemed. He is so home­ ly that he can't get a photo taken—no photographer will risk his machine— so we can not present bls picture, but. be it- a man whom men respect, whose opiniuDr are not-expressed until he h«* dvCidtd a question foi* hiuj-ulf -■fi<*r maturi-deliberation, and a safe xnd'hOund man to entrust Barr* c Fiiuty’s interests to at Lanning.

He will accept dictation ut the hai:<L of no man, but will always be loiui'J ready to listen io the voice of his district He is "not the sort of a man who would expect his district to see things just as he. sees them, but who would endeavor to know what the wishes of his district were on all im­ portant legislation and to respect them. A vote for John Hinkley *will be a credit to tbe man who casts it, no matter to what political party he owes allegiance. And if in.spite of the heavy majority against his party, he should be chosen to represent Barry county In tbe balls of legisla tion at Lansing, we would have a rep­ resentative who would represent the whole people of the district worthily and with honor. CASTOR IA With election but a few weeks off politics are getting warm and the country is full of candidates.

P. Dusenberry. civil engineer in charge of the work on Long Key, who miraculously escaped '’eath, ar­ rived here on the Russian steamer Jennie, among other survivors res­ cued. He says houseboat No. 4, on which were 150 men. was struck by the storm at five o'clock Thursday morning, and was driven out into the gulf through Bawks channel. At six o'clock the houseboat began to break up, and as the great waves hit her, men, singly and In bunches of two and three, were washed into the sea and drowned. Some were oelow.for protection, but when the top of the boat was carried away the waves rushed in and the boat soon went to piece, 30 or 40 of the men being crushed to death in the collapse, the others grabbing timbers to save them from drowning. Engineer Dusenberry was In the hold, but:succeeded in getting a log and floated until Fri­ day nighL . Boat Turns Turtle. On one piece of timber 16 men were clinging, and nine were hanging to another. The sides of the houseboat was crowded with men. It turned over three times, each time reducing the number. The Russian steamer Jennie sight­ ed the wreckage and succeeded In rescuing the 49 men who were brought here. Three other steamers with searchlights were picking up men dead and alive when tbe Jennie left the sbene. There was another houseboat with a hundred and fifty men on board at Long Key, which Mr. Dusenberry thinks was also swept to sea. There were in all ten boats at Long Key, mortar mixers, dredges and other boats engaged in the work. The survivors were furnished food and clothing from the East Coast railway commissary here, and were given medical attention. The extension work of the railway along the keys was not damaged.

Findlay, O., OcL 20—After deliber­ ating 32 hours the jury In the case of the state of Ohio against the Standard' Oil company, of Ohio, re­ turned a verdict of "guijty” on the charge of conspiracy against trade,ip violation of the Valentino anti-trust law. The verdict was rendered at 4:35 o'clock Friday morning, the jury having announced Its readiness to re­ port exactly at four o'clock.

The Standard Oil edmpany, of Ohio, has given notice that it will file a motion for a new trial.' Under the practices of the court the defendant has three days to put this motion in form. The next step will be for the court to impose the penalty. The defense will then take their bill of exceptions to such rulings ot Judge Baker as they have objected, to the circuit court of the state. The appeal from this court is to the su­ preme, court of the state, to which tribunal there is no doubt the issue will ultimately be decided. To the state, the sulL the verdict and .the ultimate appeal Is important particularly because It Intimates an entirely new method of proceeding against alleged trade monopolies— that of Information and affidavit.

Songs were sung during all but ten minutes of this time. This ten minutes came at the end. and was occupied by the re­ maining juror, who had stood out in explaining his position and surren­ der to the majority. There was not the slightest levity about this hymnal service. The jurors had then been many hours without sleep. The songs which were started shortly after two o'clock in the morning, echoed at first feebly through the spacious court. Importance of Verdict.

As the result of continuous delib­ erations to four o'clock Thursday morning one of the three for acquit­ tal joined the majority.

Mr. Simonds denied that the fact that Mr..Shields was manager of the elevator had any­ thing to do with, the reasonableness of his fllrm's leWse on the elevator. Mr. Simonds said that In bidding for grain In the country his flrm did not deal entirely with what are termed regular elevator men, but said they did not like to bld • for grain owned by Independent elevator men for fear It might create a "feel­ ing" with the regulars. They had. prior to two years ago. received a few isolated letters from Oklahoma and Kansas persons, asking them not to place blds with certain grain men. but had not let it interfere with their actions. Mr. Simonds Is not now actually engaged in business, and was not familiar with all the firm's dealings. His partner, E .W. Shields, he sold, was in St. Louis or Chicago, and Commissioner Clarke requested that the latter be wired to be'on hand Tuesday morning to testify. Southern Probe Begun.

"Until such a com­ bination Is formed and it has been seen In action. It would be Impossible to say that such an organization would violate the law in any particular, but there is ample law to prevent such an organization from violating It "The Sherman anti-trust law would ■till be applicable and the govern­ ment would still proceed against the individual agents for criminal of­ fenses.

Farm Menis SPRING BROOK STOCK FAmM. In this age of specialisation nothing hu come in-for more share than farm­ ing. Only a few year* ago the average farmer contented himself with raising a little of everything, with no special design on having the best of any­ thing. He had a field of wheat, a field of corn, oats, barley, buckwheat, potatoes, etc. His stock consisted of all kinds and breeds^and no particular attention wae paid to the best varie­ ties; he contented himself with being ignorant as to the breeding of his stock;. perhaps be had not come to a realisation of the importance of grain suited to his land or to the breeds of stock that would'give the largest and most satisfactory returns for the money expended. Things have changed in the past few years and a radical change it has been, too. The farmer has become educated in all branches of his business, that is, a majority of them nave and the result is proving one of the most marvelous ed on the farm what is probably the largest single barn in Barry county, a picture of which Is herewith given. The main, or front part of this mam­ moth barn is 38x72 feet, with 18 foot posts; the west part is 32x79 feet, with 16 foot posts and the south part is 20x74 feet. There is a nine-foot baser ment under the whole, which is ar­ ranged in stalls and stable room, a part of the floor being of cement, and a thorough draining system installed. The barn cost in the neighborhood of •3,500, and aside from its bigness is put up with good material and. justifies Mr. Townsend in the pride he takes in showing it. The farm Is admirably adapted to stock, raising and the large barn has capacity for holding a large amount of feed for winter feeding. Mr. Town­ send says the improvements to the farm have only just. begun and it is his ambition in a few years to have a model stock farm. What a Wisconsin Dairyman Has to . Say About the Matter. I consider a round, stone silo, plas­ tered Inside with Portland cement, the best kind -to build, writes a Wis­ consin dairyman. My silo Is 19 feet tn diameter inside and 24 feet high, the. foundation being six feet below the surface of Ao surrounding ground, with tile drains below and an octago­ nal shingled roof. It is a little more expansive to start with, but it Is the cheapest kind of silo In the end. I usually begin to cut the corn be­ tween September 10 and 15, when the grain is nicely glazed, but the stalks are still green. When filling I always keep the silage level and well tramped* down, as It is our alm to get all the corn we can into the silo, as it keeps better when it Is packed. It Is a good plan while, filling to wait until It set­ tles, and then fill up the too again once dr’twice, which will allow .you to have better silage near the top layers. My allo holds enough silage to feed 36 cow* from November - to May, giv­ ing about one and one-half bushelsper day In two feeds. I consider it an ideal feed for dairy , cattle through the winter season. None goes to waste, if the cattle leave | any the horses will eat IL and it ls.| especially good food for colts. We'l also feed It to poultry and to brood sows, for which purpose it Is very satisfactory.—Farm and Home. CONCENTRATED DAIRY FOODS. Results of Experiments Carried, on at Pennsylvania Experiment Station. The large barn on Rickard -Townsend’s Spring-Brook stock farm, five miles north of.Nashville. evolutions of the age. The old way of sowing and let come what will,- baa passed. The up-to-date farmer now sowsand usually grows what he wants. He knows where to plant his beans and corn and where to sow his wheat and oats. He has been studying stock­ raising until he has the business down to a science, and he is profiting by his new business-like way of conduct­ ing his farm. Many farmers have come to a realization of the fact that good, pure bred stock fed from the hay and grain of the farm pay better thanselling the feed, and as a consequence, where only a few years ago it was hard to find pure bred stock thro the i country, now nearly every farmer can take you to his barn and show you with pride his particular breed of stock. The exemplification of the new order of things Is Mr. Richard Townsend's farm five miles north of Nashville. Mr. Townsend, while not always hav­ ing been actively engaged in farming himself, has had the. interests of the farm at heart and has taken advantage of his business ability to instil it into the running of his farm. He has done what all farmers should do, he has given his farm a name, the name is printed on all his stationery, just as the merchant in town has his name and business printed on his. The name he has selected for his farm is “Spring Brook,” suggested by a brook which flows thro the fields. Mr. Townsend is a lover of good stock, and his particular hobby is Shorthorn cattle and Shropshire sheep. Of the former be has as pretty a herd as could be found any­ where. The herd is headed by his famous bull, “Scottish Marshal," 192501, which Mr. Townsend bought in 1902 of J. D. Douglas & Son The bull was sired by “Deputy Marshal" who was the prize winner for two years Id the great New York show circles, and his offspring “Scottish Marshal," is an animal who is much admired by all good breeders. ¥r. Townsend claims for his cattle that they are the best for general farm purposes. They are good milkers, grow quick and large for beef and are easy keepers. At present be has 26 head, including a few of straight Scotch breed. He showed 12 at the Barry County fair this year and carried off two first and six second prizes. At the Trl-County fair at Lake Odessa be showed 14 head and was given right first and four second prizes. The result, consider­ ing the fact that he bad not given bis stock any special attention for show purposes is very gratifying to him, and also proves that his cattle are of the best. Two years ago Mr. Townsend erect- RAIN BARREL AND SINK. Arrangement Which Will Provide Con­ venient Washing Facilities.

The experiments show that corn stover can be used to replace timothy hay with excellent results and a considerable saving of cost. If grown in a rotation, tli'nothy hay should be sold and corn used for the dairy animals. Pure ’ cottonseed meal contains a larger per cent, of digestive protein than gluten meal and Is much richer in fertilizing qualities. It will In most cases prove the best feed to produce milk and butter. As cottonseed meal Is so often adulterated farmers should require a guarantee of 42 to 46 per cent of protein. Wheat bran Is one of the finest of dairy feeds, but it contains only about one-third as much protein as cotton­ seed meal and ft often costs about the same per ton. therefore the dairyman is paying three times as much for each pound of protein. If the dairy­ man Is obliged to buy feed the most concentrated will usually prove the most economical. FENCE SALT BOX FOR CATTLE How a Convenient and Serviceable Re­ ceptacle Can Be Provided.

Small potatoes from productive hills give a better product than Jarge potatoes from unproductive 'hills. This shows the importance of select­ ing seed In the field at digging time rather than from the bln next spring. Several instances were reported at the Texas Nut Growers' association where native pecan trees were giving regular annual returns of from 120 to |65 per tree In from five to twelve years after top-working with Im­ proved varieties. dlcated by-the side of the box. These are placed about eight inches apart &nd nailed to two ends. The rear of the box is cut ao as to give a projec­ tion of about four inches. The idea is that when the framed end is placed between two fence boards the pieces A and C can be nailed on securely and thus hold the box in place. Obviously the fence boards will pass through the portions between A and B at both top and bot­ tom. This box will work best when It Is placed under cover since there will be no danger from storms. It also can be used for feed where an animal Is postured, as a mare with colt, need* a little grain daily. Corn Cob Meal Good. A dairyman who ha* long fed corn and cob meal to hi* cows, says he has found It one of hi* best feeds, but It Is better to add ground oat* also. This feed, he says, with corn silage and some clover hay keeps the flow of milk and its fat to the standard of summer blue grass pasture. He urges hl* neighbors to try his plan and says his feed mill is one of his best Invest­ ments, thinking that grinding the ear corn, cob and all, adds much to It* value in feeding. He keeps os many pigs a* possible to feed his skim milk to fresh from his separator. Cream Separators. Some separators are more effective than others In removing impurities, sq it is well for the intending pur­ chaser to test a separator thoroughly before buying, taking into account the amount of slime accumulation as well as the cleanness of skimming. After all that ha* been said about the com­ position of separator slime, it ought not to be necessary to urge the neces­ sity of washing the machine after every run. but in our best dairy sec­ tions there are still many farmers who rhe cheap imitations of Foley’s Honey and Tar cost you the same as the genuine consider one w-ashlng sufficient for in tbe yellow package.

Here Is another wrinkle for catching the unwary farmer. As we hear about dry fanning, and irrigation farming, and new plant life that Is specially adapted to grow where nothing else will, one begins to wonder if, after all, there is any kind of soil that is not adapted to some kind of a crop. To-day there are millions of acres of land producing paying crops which a few years ago were barren wastes. It would take many a big volume to tell the story of what scientific research has done for farming ln_the last decade. All; Modern conveniences ano comrorts I are finding their way to the farm house more and more and it is the ' rule rather than the exception in: many fanning communities that the farmer enjoys furnace-heated houses and has running water a?.d electric lights or gas. And why should he not? It Is not only the right, but the duty of the farmer to provide for himself and family as great comfort as is possible within his means. Let each year see some Improvement in the farm bouse, even as'you plan that the farm itself shall show Increased fertility, and be cultivated by improved machinery. An egg is not as sensitive about having its age known as is the aver­ age woman, and with the former It is not as difficult to judge as with the latter. In the egg at tbe broad end of the shell Is an air space, which is almost a certain indication-aa to its age. In a perfeeds, fresh egg the air space Is very small, but as age Increases it extends, and when the egg is three weeks old the airspace occupies about a sixth of the entire contents. ■W“h practice the age can be told to within 24 hours. WANTED THE FRESH AIR. Confinement in Church Not at All to Youngster's Taste. Shortly after Mrs. X. arrived at a certain village much favored as a summer resort, she took her two small sons for a walk. In the course of their peregrinations they visited the village cemetery, where the epi­ taphs on many of the old tombstones were read and commented on, the boys seeming to be duly Impressed with the solemnity of the occasion. The following day being Sunday, Mrs. X. wished her souk to attend services with her in the village church. Both boys objected strenu­ ously to having their spiritual na­ tures ministered to in this fashion. It might be endured in the city, but in the country and during vacation* time they thought they might be allowed their freedom. Finally, after consid­ erable discussion, the elder of the boys asked earnestly: “Mamma, why won't It do just as well If George and I go and walk in the cemetery?" �■■ LEARNED LEESON TOO WELL.

While the sugar company men still profess skepticism that discharges from thq factory here are entirely responsible for the con­ ditions that existed a few days ago. saying that possibly the city sewage emptying into the river at about the same point might In a measure be responsible, they have taken an at­ titude of willingness to prevent any recurrence and have had a pit dug into which the lipie discharge will be emptied. Doubtless the state officers ■will accept this promise and take no proceedings in the present case fur­ ther than to completely become satis­ fied of the cause. To this end State Analyst Robinsod, his assistant, L. H.

The publisher who does not ip general ■sell his space will sooner or later—generally sooner—be a candidate for the sheriff’s ‘hammer. Reputable newspaperswill, of course, guard their readers agaifist dis­ reputable, dishonest or unclean ad­ vertisers.

A verdict of guilty has been- ren­ dered against the Standard Oil company, of Ohio, for violation of the Valentine anti-trust law, and the company has been made liable to a fine of $50 to S5,000. The result of the action, which marks a new de­ parture in proceedings against mon­ opolistic corporations, is regarded as important, but until the company has exhausted its resources in the matter of appeals there will be no definite advantage afforded as an ex­ ample for other stites. You people who live on rural delivery routes. Just make up your minds to treat your faithful carriers right this winter. For one thing, keep a few postage stamps on hand, and stamp your letters instead of dropping pennies in the box. It don’t cost you any more, and it saves the [carriers cold fingers 4 and cuss words. You can't be strictly honest if you have a *ot of little debts stand­ ing around here and there. If you must be in debt, get it all at one place and pay interest on it, like the man you owe the money to has to do. That’s the only way to be ' strictly square. A little item in last week’s Hast­ ings Journal says, “The senior ed­ itor is suffering with a severe at­ tack of the grip.” We have known Dennis to have these attacks be­ fore, just before election time, but we had not supposed it was the grip. That’s another name for it. We are glad the millenium is near enough at hand so that political en­ emies may be personal friends, and that while animosities may be rife to a certain extent just at present, a week from today we will be “good fellows” again, no matter which side wins.

SECRETARY METCALF IS SENT ' WEST ON IMPORTANT ’ Washington, Oct. 27.—President Roosevelt Friday night directed Vic­ tor H. Metcalf, secretary of Jbe de­ partment ot commerce and labor, to proceed to San Francisco and make a 'thorough aud complete Inquiry into, the situation affecting the exclusion of Japanese children from the, schools provided for white children, and the determination to place Japanese pu­ pils in separate schools. I The president Is anxious to obtain at first hand from a cabinet officer ■who Is acquainted with Ideal condi­ tions in San Francisco full informa­ tion affecting every phase ot the subject, to the end that whatever ac­ tion is taken by this government may be after an accurate* understanding pt the situation. Tbe president feels that every effort within the power of the administration should be exerted to see that all the treaty rights claimed by the Japanese for its peo­ ple residing in. the United States should be respected and protected. Demands Full RightsThe determination to send Secre­ tary Metcalf to San Francisco was one of the results of the request' made by Viscount Aokl, the Japanese am­ bassador, who at a conference with Secretary Root Thursday asked, In behalf of his government, that the Japanese subjects In California be ac­ corded their full rights under the treaty of 1884, including that of the children to attend the public schools of San Francisco. This request was the subject of very long and earnest discussion at the cabinet meeting Friday, when the conclusion was Reached that the best thing to do was to send Mr. Metcalf to California to toecure personally all the data which could have any possible bearing on the situation. The dispatch of a cabinet officer on such a mission. It was argued, would demonstrate to the Japanese the evi­ dent sincerity of this government in dealing trtth the whole subject and Its desire" to show that every effort is be­ ing made to get at the facts. Allege Boycott on Restaurants. Incidental to t he Inquiry into the school question, Mr. Metcalf will pay some attention to the charges made by Count Aakl to Secretary Root that Japanese restaurant keepers in San Francisco have suffered indignities. These reports, the ambassador says, come from consular officers of the Jap­ anese government in San Francisco. At least seven or eight reports have been made, concerning a boycott In­ augurated against these restaurants and these reports state that agents have been posted to prevent patrons from entering the restaurants and in several instances stones have been thrown and windows broken. Situation Is Grave. , Administration officials do not hesi­ tate to express privately their views of the present anti-American feeling growing out nf the wrongs which the Japanese declare they have suffered, and one member of the cabinet said after the meeting that the general situation was exceedingly grave and ,would require the most delicate treat­ ment to prevent an open rupture. I The president is doing all tn his power to show the Japanese that there Is no general feeling against the race, but that the trouble is entirely local and expressed gratification when he learned through Ambassador Aokl that the Japanese press Is for the most part attempting to check the feelings against Americans.

Bodies Taken from Cars. A special car containing the bodies of the Philadelphia victims left Mon­ day night for that city. The day has been one of unceasing activity, of grewsome scenes and pa­ thetic incident.

F. Stearns (Cterrltbt, hr ie-j* B. Bowk*) This all happened about five yearn ■to—yea, It’s just five years till* month that Otis died. . Say, he was the man to run an acid works. He was super here in the acid works?for 12 years running, and there .wasn't one fault found wjth him by the boss or by the men, which is just ■bout m important, if not a little bit more so. One day, about-two weeks after the . death of Otis, the' boss turned up with Rigby, a mean little boy, msiybe 22 or 23, narrow-chested, hatchet-faced, green from college and with an opin­ io? of himself that would have bro­ ken down an- ordinary man's constitu­ tion to carry. "Mr. Rigby,” the boss announced to the men, "represents tbe younger gen­ eration of chemists. He has all. the newest wrinkles in acid manufacture at his command, and I think he'll make some improvements here.” Next Monday morning, Rigby came in for business tbe first time. Say, It would have made your heart ache to see that .strut! First he'd stride through the whole place with his hands behind his back and a su­ perior smile on his wizen little face, looking this way and that way, like a bantam rooster out for a fight. Then he'd stamp upstairs to the office Otis had had so long, and throw papers -around for c while. Shortly after he saw a boy coming in with a cargo of beer, and down­ stairs he flew to Brown, the shipping clerk and general manager of the of­ fice. •'Brown,” he said, "there's beer­ drinking going on here!” "Can It be?" said Brown. “It is!” announced the boy. "i'll put a short stop to that. To-night, Brown, you will discharge any man you know to be a chronic beer-drink­ er.” “What shall we dp for men?" asked Brown. "Oh. see here!” cried Rigby, very sharp and- impatient, "how many men out of the 30 will you have to dis­ charge?” * "Thirty,” said Brown. "Ah—bum.” murmured Rigby. "Then I’ll take another course. Make a sign. Brown: 'Beer drinking posl- "I’ll Put a Stop to That!* lively will net be permitted in this factory.’ That ought to stop it,” he said, looking tickled to death over the terrible downrightneas of the words. It did stop it. too. After that, whenever a man wanted a little li­ quid nourishment, he just stepped outside the door and took bls kettle with him. Wasn't a bad scheme, either—they could conform with the rules and get a breath of fresh air at the same time. One day the engineer, Danny Mc­ Carthy, had more steam than he needed, and got the harmless notion of letting it off through his whistle. She started to blow at 12 o’clock and at five minutes past she was still blowing, and there isn't a whistle this side of Halifax with a throat like her. Ten minutes after 12 Rigby dropped the paper he'd been trying to read and went raving crazy. "Brown," he screamed down the speaking tube, "send that engineer to me!” "McCarthy!" he shouted, when Dan­ ny came in, "what under the sun is wrong with that whistle?" " ‘Tis jiggin’,’’ said Danny, solemn as an owl. "What do you mean by—” said Rigby, before he caught himself. “■Why don’t yon stop it?" Danny looked injured. "Well, now, Mr. Rigby, ye know as well as I do what a job it is to fix a jiggin whistle." "Certainly 1 do—certainly," said •the boy. "I understand all that, but not knowing the precise kind of whis­ tle you're using, I can't give'you spe­ cific directions for repairing it Cdn't you stop it—er—jigging yourself?" "Well," said Danny, considering the matter, "of course, the best way is to let .it blow till it stops and then soak it in a pall o’ soapy water till 'tis thoroughly cool and the lie out o' the bearin’s. That takes about three weeks. Then, agin, I can stop it to wunst by unscrewin' the governor, only that you run a risk o’ hurtin' the injector.’ "Never mind the Injector," said his highness. "Unscrew the governor, and for heaven's sake, do it quick!" And after Danny went t out Rigby .connected himself with the speaking­ tube again. . “Make a sign. Brown," he said, "telling the men that our whistle is Jigging—what a word!.—and that tor the ensuing three weeks, until our own is thoroughly cooled, they will listen for the whistles of adjacent factories. Put it on the same post." "There’s no room.” Brown. Chuckled. "Then take another post. There's plenty of posts," said Rigby, going back to bis newspaper. ■ Danny got another little idea,'too. His fireman had to cart out ashes and bring the. coal from the pile in a big sheetiron wheelbarrow, and the way lay over the cobblestones under the,window of little Rigby's office. Just before Otis died, he bought Danny a fine new wheelbarrow for the purpose, for the old one was loose in the Joints and pretty rickety gen­ erally, and when a man was pushing her she sounded more than anything else like a carload ot tinware being struck by lightning. But two or three days after tbo whistle stopped work, Danny—he's a tender hearted feller—Danny got a sentimental feeling for the old wreck and dragged her out of the scrap heap and set his fireman wheeling ashes, back and forth, back and forth, back and forth, till the din sent Rigby to the spcaking-tpbe once more. "Brown," -he cried, "what on earth alls- that wheelbarrow?" . "Ripe old age,” answered Brown. "Weft, does It have to make that noise?” "The poor thing can't speak and tell us,"-chuckled the old gentleman. "I presume it does." "Well, It's enough to drive a man mad," said Rigby. ' I’ll have it. stop­ ped. except when I'm out of this of­ fice. Listen! You make another sign, reading like this: 'Workmen are pos­ itively prohibited from carting coal an.1 ashes without obtaining permis­ sion from the superintendent.' Nail it ufc” ' "Another sign! muttered Brown. "Yes, another sign!" shouted Rig­ by, who heard him. “111 make these men understand that they're to do as I'like and not us they like! And I’ll get this infernal place whacked ihto shape If I have to plaster the walls Inside end out wifh signb, from the ground to the roof!" • Rigby didn't come back that nodntime, but he sent a boy to Brown with a note. . saying that he had a severe headache, and would the fac­ tory kindly try to run without him till the following morning. He took his time getting there the following morning, too, and by the time he finally, did arrive the boss had come in tn a fury. "What under the sun is the matter? Why is the factory shut down T’ he demanded of Brown. , "Too many signs,” snickered Brown. "The last of them being ’he most re­ sponsible." "What do you mean?" "Weil, to put it another way, want of coal is keeping us from running.” "Coal! Great Scott!” shouted tbe boss. "You had 60 tons last week. What's Rigby doing with It? Eating It?" "I haven't seen him at it," said Brown, speaking slowly and distinct­ ly and enjoying every word. "But he forbade any man to touch the pile without his permission, and he hasn't been here since yesterday noon. The bolk-rs were cold at six o’clock.” * "Brown, Brown. Brown!" groaned the old man. "Had you no more sense than to follow fool- orders like that?” "Why, bless me!" said Brown, looking at him squarely with his Innocent^ old eyes. “Isn't It one of the new notions? One of the latest wrin­ kles In acid manufacture? I'm doing my best to cooperate.” The boss looked back at him for a full minute, and he had to smile at last, bui it was a smile as hard as flint. "And what wretched idiocy Is this?" he said, pointing to the new sign, and then to the others, with his cane. "What are they doing here?"’ "Mr. Rigby's orders." "Well!—” said the boss. And there he had to stop, for the situation was too much for even his extended vo­ cabulary. . When he got breath he said: "There’s another sign in your hand, Brown. What is it?” “Well—oh, that?” stammered Brown going red. “Let's see It," said the boss.

Pryor, republican can­ didate for prosecuting attorney, has filled tr.e office for tbe past two years id such a manner as to bring credit to himself and honor to the county. His ' record, a synopsis of which only can be given here, is one of which any lawyer might well be proud. He has had 32 cases disposed of In the circuit courL Of this number 23 were disposed of on a plea of guilty, one was tried and convicted, three were tried and acquitted «nd five were dismissed. . • Last week. Id canvassing Mr. Pry­ or’s record; the Hastings Banner said: "So carefully had the evidence been prepared, It- will be seen, .that nearly three fourths of bis entire num­ ber pleaded guilty, saving hundreds of dollars to tbe county in the.exp^nse of trials. The five that were nolle-prossed, or dismissed was because tbe prosecutor was of the opinion that a conviction could not be had; as these dismissals were under the supervision of the cir­ cuit judge, it will be seen he also was of the' same opinion- And by this course the county was also saved a large expense. Of the three that were acquitted, one was a case begun ,by Mr. Pryor's predecessor and conse­ quently was an Inheritance of his; the other two were for obtaining property under false pretenses, and it is well known that such cases are exceeding­ ly difficult to convict. But more es­ pecially is his record surprisingly good in justice court.

The population of the United States was about 5.308.000 in 1800, while in 1900 it was 7G.3O3.OOO. At the begin­ ning of last century there were 6.6 people in every square mile of the ter­ ritory that composed the then repub­ lic. At the close of the century there were 25.6 In every square mile of the country. As all know, most of the good land has been brought under cul­ tivation. It now remains to bring the arid Zands under cultivation and to Improve the cultivation of the good lands. The process of robbing the soil is being gradually stopped, as Intelli­ gence increases, but the robbed lands must now be brought back to their first productiveness. • System ” clothes are backed by a bioad and liberal guarantee, and that we stand back of them through thick and thin. <J If we can induce ' you to compare ‘‘Viking ” brands with those of others, do your best to find fault and pick flaws, we can very soon convince you of our im­ measurable superiority. “Viking” brands arc labeled. prosecuted 210 cases.

Jus­ tice Grant thought the case should be sent back for judgment, but some of the other justices, .while agreeing that the court below should have decided the case, held that it was none the less the duty of this court tc review It It turns out that while Judge Smith jumped at a decision, he jumped the right way. and his.judgment was af­ firmed. The question ar issue was whether the. Detroit’ United railway should be required to sell tickets from Detroit to Pontiac over the Orchard Lake line at 35 cents. The court bolds that it must. Michigan Central Files Answer. The Michigan Central Railroad com­ pany has 'filed in the Ingham circuit court its answer to the state's bill of complaint in the suit brought by At­ torney General Bird, to recover about >1,000,000 claimed to be due the state for ‘ back taxes previous to the year 1893. This is the case In which the railroad company filed a demurrer to the state** bill. It being overruled by the circuit and supreme courts. In its answer the company pleads the statute of limitations as a bar to the state's claim and denies that it has been guilty of fraud in the making of reports to state officers, as charged. A plea is also made for the innoceht stockholders of the company *hp have invested in the stock of the company without knowledge of the claim of the state. The question at issue in the case is whether the com­ pany should, under its special charter have paid taxes on Its entire stock and bonds, or only on that portion represented by the part of the line in Michigan. The case will doubtless come to trial in this city some time during the winter. . Merchant Tailor NYROYAL PILLS Michigan Central "The Niagara Fallt Route."

It Is stated that the associations are continually growing stronger, a fact attributed to the general prosperity that is preva­ lent and to the growing confidence in which these associations are held. The report expresses satisfaction with the law governing the associations, guarding as it does the Interests of the public and the individual member, yet imposing no unreasonable restric­ tion upon the honestly conducted as­ sociation. There is no appreciable demand. It Is said, for its amend­ ment.

Feeble-Minded Waiting. There were 847 patients on the wait­ ing list of the home for the feeble­ minded at Lapeer, according to a re­ port of the trustees of that institution for the biennial period ending June 30 last, filed with Gov. Warner. The board of control Is still asking for large appropriations to enlarge the buildings and add to the capacity of the institution so as to accommodate the unfortunates of the state whose relatives are clamoring for their ad­ mission.

The supreme court has affirmed a judgment awarded Mrs. Anne McWil­ liams against fhrLake Shore railroad for- injuries while on a train going from Grand Rapids to Hudson on July 4, 1903. On the same train was a drunken man with a revolver who fired a blank cartridge full In her face. It was contended that the conductor should have put the man off before he fired the shot that hurt her, inasmuch rs he had fired before in another coach. With this contention the court agreed. Justice Ostrander remarked: “The conductor had all the powers of a sheriff on a train and the question of whether in looking after the safety of, the passengers in a reasonable de­ gree he was not required to put the drunken man off the train was a proper one for the jury to determine." Rehearing Is Ordered. A’ rehearing was ordered by the su­ preme court in the caseof the attor­ ney general against the Detroit com­ mon council argued at the June term. Thia case is an Important one, as it Involves the right of the city of De­ troit to lay rails In Its streets for street cars, and was brought for the' purpose ofc testing the authority of the city to own street railways. It was expected that a deslslon would be ren­ dered, biit instead a rehearing was-or­ dered to be had on December 4. It ts a fair Inference that the court Is di­ vided on the proposition and desires, a hearing before the full bench. The questions involved are the most Important that l^ave come before the court for some time. Pulp Wood Used In Michigan. Official figures of the department o« agriculture relating to the wood pulp Industry in 1905 show that in Michi­ gan * eight companies used 109,764 cords of wood, worth >475,278, and produced with it 126,551.000 pounds of pulp. Of the wood used, about 70,000 cords was hemlock, 33,000 cords spruce, and the rest pine, balsam and other varieties. The Michigan com­ panies claimed their average dally output was 41,000 pounds of pulp. Bakers Elect Officers.

Recurrent peril, threatening our American speech, becomes Imminent about this time of year.

This is causing a surprising number of manufacturers to put shoddy in their shoes where formerly only good, reliable materiris were used, The shoes may look the same to the eye, but the test of wear reveals the fraud. But every woman has one safeguard against this de­ ception. The wise ones look for the “'Queen Quality” trade­ mark. That name has cost its makers a fortune, and its value to them is beyond price.

This should not- be inter­ preted as a threatening demonstra­ tion ;. the step is taken for its moral effect on tho restoration of confidence. In a general order Gen. J.

Upon tho recommendation of Carlos Garcia y Velez, Inspector of public institutions, San Lazaro hospital. In which there are setoral hundred lep­ ers, 'probably will be shortly re­ moved to an island off the northern coast of Mantanzas province. Tho re­ moval of this hospital has long been desired, but the project has been op­ posed by the wealthy private corpora­ tion by which it Is controlled. ' American I* Imprisoned. Americans on the Isle ot Pines are excited over the arrest and Imprison­ ment of a countryman named Holmesburg, on tho charge of cutting down a tree, on tho boundary line of his own property. A committee has come from the Island to request Gov. Magoon to doposc the present mayor and appoint as acting mayor Second LieuL Robert Tlttom of the marine corps. There have been rumors for some days past of a projected uprising of moderates in Santiago province, but do importance is attached to them. Lieutenant Has Yellow Fever. Second Lieut Noble J. Wiley, of tbe Fifth Infantry, whose discovery on board the transport Sumner Satur­ day with yellow fever caused five hours’ delay in the departure of the vessel, has been removed to Animas hospital. Hiss illness was diagnosed as yellow fever of a mild type. Lieut Wiley boarded the Sumner to go home on leave of absence. He arrived here recently on the transport Tarnholm, and lodged in Havana. He did not visit Camp Columbia. New York, Nov. 3.—The United States now-holds the record of “fartheseat north." 87 degrees six min­ utes. This feat was accomplished by Com­ mander Robert. E. Peary, ot the Unit­ ed States navy. The intrepid arctic explorer failed to reach the north pole, as he had confidently hoped to do with his spe­ cially constructed vessel, the Roose­ velt, but he penetrated hearer to the pole than the duke of the Abruzzi’s expedition, which had held the arctic record, 86 degrees 34 minutes. What Commander Peary did and bls ex­ periences during the past year in the frozen north are rather briefly, but certainly vividly, summarized in a communication received Friday night from Peary by Herbert L. Bridgeman, secretary of the Peary Arctic club. This communication follows: Peary's Dispatch. "Hopedale, Labrador, via Twillin­ gate, N. E., Nov. 2.—Roosevelt win­ tered north coast Grant Land some­ what north Alert winter quarters. Went north with sledges February via Hecla and Columbia, Delayed by open water between 84 and 85 de­ grees. Beyond 85 six days.

After one week recupera­ tion on Roosevelt sledged west, com­ pleting north coast Grant Land and reached other land, near one hun­ dredth meridian. Homeward voyage Incessant battle with ioe, storms and headwinds. Roosevelt magnificent ice fighter and sea boat No deaths or Illness on expedition." Receipt of News Surprises. After furnishing press the contents of Commander Peary's report, Mr. Bridgeman said that the receipt of any news from the explorer now «aa quite a surprise to him, because he had supposed it had become too late in the season for Commander Peary to send news of his venture. Mr. Bridgeman added that the message spoke for itself and that since he did not know more of the results of Commander Peaty's effort to reach the pole than the public did, he could hardly comment upon the dispatch. There was little doubt, however, he said, that Commander Peary was coming home. This seems to be borne out by the routing of the dis­ patch. Hopedale or ’ Hoffenthal Is a Moravian mission station on the east coast of Labrador. Twllllngate is a port on the east coast of New Foundland. Mr. Bridgeman said the mes­ sage was probably mailed by Com­ mander Peary from Hopedale to the most accessible cable polnL PRACTICE MARCHES PLANNED, FOR AMERICAN TROOPS IN THE ISLAND.

It Is a perfect machine. *<*odjttt8dl Thoroughly Inspected and tested I VICTOR trap h the o.ly re­ liable low-priced trap. Don't buy cheap Imitations. Be sire the Tran ASK ANY TRAPPER THE TRAPPER'S GUIDE �The opinion of a* mai/who has ha<J 25 years* experience In strawberry growing ought to be worth consider­ ing. He says that after trying .al­ most every method now practiced by different, growers, he is convinced that the best method Is to plant a new bed' every year, and explains his plan as follows: “After the first bearing year, as soon as we are through picking. I begin to take care of the beds by pulling all weeds and grass, before they'make any seed. Let these lie pn the bed in sj»ots where there are no plants. As soon as the ground is frozen I cover the entire bed with horse manure to a depth of two or three Inches. This will perhaps smother some of the plants, but there will be plenty of them left for the next year's fruiting, and those that come through in the spring will grow with as rhuch vigor as a newly-set plant From a bed of one acre treat­ ed as above described 1 picked more berries the past season than from an aerfi planted one year ago. The ber­ ries, however, were not quite as Ifcrge. After I finish picking a second crop, I plow everything under in July and plant to celery. The land *111 then be In a high state ot fertility, for the strawberry takes but little from the soil. If a second crop is not wasted the ground should be sown with crimson clover about the first of August This should be plowed under the following spring, when the ground will be in exceUent condition for planting early potatoes, beets, cab­ bage or. In fact, any early vegetables. This method of growing strawberries gives' me three beds to look after, two bearing beds, one and two years old, and a newly-planted one every spring, and I am of the opinion that there is less labor and expense in planting a bed every year than tn trying to build up the old one year after year." Is the farm horse doomed to disap­ pear from the working force of the farm? David Beecroft thinks so, foj in an article in Technical World Maga­ zine he says: "No longer will 'the plowman homeward plod his weary way.* Instead he will simply turn on the second speed of his agricultural motor car and go dashing up the lane to the farm bouse at the rate of 20 miles an hour. In the early months of 1902, what proved to be the first successful gasoline agricultural motor appeared, contesting at nearly all of tho great agricultural competitions of the season in England, and carrying off the gold medals from the horse in every contest. Plowing proved to be tbe first phase of farm labor to which the agricultural motor was Introduced, and at which, four years ago. It made Its initial reputation. Steam engines had proven too heavy for tbe soft land being plowed, and here the agricultur­ ist expected to mire the internal com­ bustion motor, but he signally failed. For a plowing test among horses, steam power and the gasoline motor, two and three-quarters acres of very heavy clay soil were selected. It was a condition that the furrows were to be nine Inches wide and six Inches deep. In doing the work nine horses, three to a plow, with three drivers and three boys, did the work at a total cost of $8.28, or at the rate of $3.68 per acre. By steam power the total cost of plowing the same area amounted to a total of $9.08, or at $4.08 per acre, and with the gasoline motor the cost totaled $4.44, or at $1.97 per acre. For plowing purposes a three-furrowed plow is Invariably used except In heavy clay soils, where a couple of furrow* prove sufficient” The New York Times Is authority for the story, that a dweller continguous to the Long Island mosquito marshes has discovered that he can catch mosquitoes In large quantities by the device of putting up a wire net­ ting with a large opening at one end and an electric light at the other. The mosquitoes with numberless other fly­ by-night insects are allured Into this dazzling inclosure, and In the morning are pulled up In such large heaps that they may be handled with scoop shov­ els, and thus become an article of fod­ der, nourishing and stimulating, .to the Long Island chicken in a degree up to this time altogether unsuspected. A Dustless Road association is try­ ing in England to abate the very great nuisance of dusty highways, both by improved methods of road construc­ tion and by a saner use of those roads by the traffic passing over them. Here is a suggestion for our good roads movement in this country. Let con­ struction work in as far as possible provide the dustless road. Oil and tar are being used successfully In va­ rious parts of the country to this end. ' Don’t feed large quantities of cracked corn to horses, fir continue the practice for any length of time, as it won-n on the inn........... * ■’ stomach. j That was a strong address of James J, Hill, delivered the other day *t X&® Minneota stole fair, |n- which he dteclared that In agriculture was to be found the salvation of the country. “Within 44 years," he said, "we ahaH have to meet the wants of more than 200,000.000 people. In less than 20 years from this moment the United Staves will have 180.000,000 people. Where are these people, not of some dim, distent age, but of this very gen­ eration now growing to’ manhood,’ to be employed and how supported? When the searchlight Is thus suddenly turned on we recognize not a mere speculation, but the grim fade of that specter which confronts tho unem­ ployed. tramping, hateful streets In hope of food and shelter.*’ Having thus predicted the peril to the country of thfe increasing number of the unem­ ployed. Mr. Hili’points to the farm— the small farm—as the only escape. Ho declares that the first requisite is **a clear recognition on the part of the whole people, from the' highest down to. the lowest, that the tillage of the soil Is the natural and most desirable occupation for man. to which every other is subsidiary "and to which all else must In the end yield. And then-as a means of stimulus arid dducation, Mr. Hill says, “the govern­ ment should establish a small model farm on Its own land In every rural congressional district, later .perhaps in every county In the agricultural states. Let the department of agri­ culture, show exactly what can be done on a small tract of land by prop­ er cultivation, moderate fertilizing and drib rotation of crops. Tho sight of .the fields, and their contrast With those of neighbors, the knowledge-of yields secured and profits possible, would be worth more than all the pamphlets poured out from the gov­ ernment printing office in years.” Here is the opinion of the Seattle (Wash.) Post-Intelligencer as to the value of tbe study of agriculture: "Modern agriculture is a science. It includes the study1 of many high school and college text-books to quali­ fy one for an Instructor is the pri­ mary principles of tilling the soil. It Is both theoretical and practical. The study of Indian corn is as Important in the development of tbe student mind as Is the study of Greek. ■ It pre­ sents living object lessons In Illus­ tration which are more valuable than dead languages. The study of ’ the classics is no more divine or- rever­ ential than the study of farm ma­ chinery and Irish potatoes. Many a poor boy * Injures his health fretting over translations of Latin when be should be learning how to transplant onions." The preliminary classification for the seventh International livestock exposi­ tion which will be held nt Chicago Union Stockyards. December 1-6, has .been Issued, and may be had on applica­ tion to W. E. Skinner, general man­ ager of the exposition. It should be noted by those specially Interested that the rules have been changed from previous rules In one Important par­ ticular, namely, that covering owner­ ship of animals is revoked in the classes of “get of sire" and "produce of dam.” In many departments the classifications have been Increased to discourage exhibits. This is particu­ larly true in the classification for horses. The crop prospects are that corn will only be 4.000.0UO bushels behind last year’s huge record of 2,708,000,Oqp bushels. Potatoes, oats, and bar ley are likely to be somewhat below last year, but wheat, much of which Is alreaify harvested, is likely to go beyond the record of 30,000,000 bush­ els. The four great farm crops of corn, bay, wheat and oats, named In th> order of their gross value, will probably be worth this year some­ thing like $2,750,000,000. The North Wisconsin Farmers’ as­ sociation is only two years old, but It has produced results of which it may well be proud. It has succeeded In securing four demonstration farms in the lake shore counties, which are under the direction of the state school of agriculture. Three special lines of experimenting are being carried out: Agronomy, soil and horticulture, un­ der the direction of Profs. Moore, Whitson and Sandsten. The four farms are located at Iron River, Supe­ rior, Ashland and Bayfield. The fanner who has not wakened to the magnitude of the things yet to be learned in agricultural science Is the man who does not study, who Is contented with himself and who be­ lieves that the methods of his fore­ fathers is good enough for him. Yes, and we might add that he Is the farm­ er who is content with half a loaf when he might Just as well have the loaf and a half. GIVE THEM STIFF SENTENCES Hen Caught Netting Fish la Thorn­ apple Lake. Rigorous Search for Illegal Flahei s to be Constant Watchward of Thornapple Protective Association. For illegal catching of fish with nets in Thornapple lake, warrants have been issued for tbe arrest of Joel Demond, who Ilves hear Keagle’s corners north of the lake, and Irving Mapes, who hails from - anywhere. Under Sheriff Ritchie went to arrest them Friday. Mapes, who had heard that he was to fall into the clutches of the law, disappeared before tbe officers arrived. Tbe under sheriff found De­ mond confined to his bed with illness. As soon as be recovers he will be arrested and brought into court. The issue of the warrants was due to the efforts of the officers of the Thornapple Protective Association who offer a reward of 825 for the re­ porting and conviction of violators of the fish laws. Tbe officers placed tbe necessary evidence in tbe bands of -Deputy Game and Fish Warden CharleeK. Hoyt, who came from Grand Haven'to verify the reports. Demond and Mapes it is alleged took advant­ age of the absence of farmers who were attending the last day of the fair aud went fishing. Four different persons declare they saw tho two men haul a net from the lake. Demond was arrested, convicted and flood for netting fish three years agp. The Protective Association. The organization has begun a work whkifi should have been started years ago, before the waters .of lakes in this county were depleted of fish by whole­ sale netting and spqarlnjr- The asso­ ciation ought to be extended to include every lake in the county. Every effort ought to be made to induce heavy pen­ alties to be placed upon all violators. Game is everywhere shot out of sea.son in this county; and those living in the vicinity of lakes openly violate the fish laws every year. Near Cloverdale several violators were caught and convicted last spring An a result, during the present cam­ paign, those who were guilty of break­ lug state laws, and who ought to have received heavy sentences, have formed leagues to work against the justice, a member of their own political party who is candidate for county office. He has received tbe comnendation of every decent voter in this county. It would be particularly gratifying ' to every decent person were every violator of game and fish laws given a good, stiff sentence.—-Hastings Herald. GETS CONSOLATION.

R- Siade at Urbandale Wednesday afternoon, October 31, when their oldest’daughter, Marian, was united in marriage to Floyd O. Green man of Bellevue. At two o'clock Miss Bessie Hinkley of Nashville began the wedding march and the bride and groom unattended took their places beneath a pretty canopy of lace curtains and myrtle in the front parlor, where an impres­ sive ceremony was performed by Rev. H. A. Brown of White Pigeon, an uncle of the bride. The bride wore a pretty dress of white wash chiffon trimmed with Valenciennes lace. After congratulations the guests, about sixty in number, were seated to an elaborate two-course luncheon served by the Misses Glenna and Gladys Wolfe, Bessie Hinxiey, Mar­ guerite Watts and Meed am es Chas. Quick and Archie' Calkins. The tables were very prettily decorated, green and white being the predomi­ nating colors, while the back parlor was made beaulful with decorations of pink and the dining room with red* A large number of costly gifts were received, consisting of'allver. china, linen, etc. The bride was formerly one of Ma­ ple Grove’s most popular young ladles, having removed with her par­ ents to Urbandale a short time ago, while the groom is respected by a large circle of friends in the commun­ ity where he has always resided. Their many friends extend congrat­ ulations. . THE CITIZENS’ BANK.

Leon Patridge entered Naahrille school tifis week. He will be a pupil in room 3. O. M. McLaughlin gave a talk on “Preparation for Life" at chapel Fri­ day morning. Tbe third grade are drawing the map of Michigan and locating its imporant citlea. Tbe fifth grade class are studying "distribution of seeds" and prepar­ ing little booklets for Thanksgiving. June Brumm and Glen Price of the second grade have not missed in spell­ ing for two months. How Is that? Grade visitors during the past week were Mrs. Fred Brumm, Mrs. Mabar, Mrs. Boston and Mrs. Clara Mills of Ann Arbor. The drawing in the fifth and sixth grades has been prlncipally on fruit, vegetables and seeds, no books being used thus far. The high, school team from Freeport will play here Saturday November 10 The game will be called at 2 p. m. Admission 15c. The laboratory work in chemistry is now progressing rapidly, allot our apparatus having arrived last week and nothing Is now lacking to hinder the work. As many of the players are unable to practice just after school, the plan of practlcing'at night, beneath the arc light has been tried and found to work admirably. It is somewhat disappointing to learn that the Charlotte foot ball team ■ana not going to fulfil their agreement and play here Thanksgiving but other arrangements are being made and we feel sure of a game, with as good a ■ team as they . Quotations are given In the third and fourth grades every Friday morn­ ing, and talks on history every other morning. We are getting ready for Thanksgiving and have some pleasant talks about the life of our forefathers. begining with the early pilgrims. The high school visitors were Mrs. Roe, Mrs. Shilling, Mrs. Furniss, Mrs. Swift. Mrs. Marble and Mr. G. Glosup of Chicago, who was for years a superintendent in Illinois. He ex­ pressed himself as well pleased with the appearance of Nashville schools. A Hollowe’en party was given at ths home of Carl Lentz last Wednes­ day evening. The evening was spent in music aud games. Light refresh­ ments were served. All, went Lome wisbing that Hollowe’en would come many limes during the year. Some of tbe boys enjoyed a header. In room four there is a great deal of enthusiasm shown during the writ­ ing period over the various exercises given to develop the free muscular movement. Improvement is made .from day to day in accuracy as well as speed. Special attention is given to correct position. , Realizing the value of drawing for training the eye as well as the hand, tbe sixth and seventh grade boys and girl* are designing book covers, in water colors, to be used for composi­ tions and reproduction work. The public schools do not aim to make artists but to teach children to observe more closely and appreciate the beautiful things they see around them in every day life. The most important part of a labor­ atory course is the note oook which is kept. These books represent the work done by the pupil and indicate bis ability in the laboratory. They are called for when onr students enter a higher institution of learning, and neatness as well as accuracy are there taken into account. The books so far have been very neat, and carefully written, showing dial much time has been devoted to their preparation. Much credit is due the ladies who have charge of the Star Lecture course. They have labored earnestly to se­ cure success for the course, and if there are some who have not secured tickets for tbe season they should feel no hesitation in the matter now—the remaining numbers are worth twice the price of tbe course and it is earn­ estly hoped that parents will give pupils of our" school opportunity to attend the course. Such pure, whole­ some entertainments are elevating. It is a strong educational factor and comes closely in touch with tbe school in this matter. Supt. aud Mrs. Fuller gave a Hallowe’en party in honor of the members of the foot ball team and gentlemen teachers. Each guest was requested to bring a pumpkin. Prizes were awarded for the best jack-olantern made. Claude Marshall re­ ceived first prize and Walter Scheldt second. Tbe evening was spent in joking, singing songs and giving high school yells. Light refreshments were served. At a late bonr the party un­ expectedly called upon some of the lady teachers, favoring them with songs and yells and presenting each with a jack-o-lantern. Some citizens were also remembered. Tbe next attraction at the. Nashville A careful inspection of tbe library opera house wilt be C. 8. SuHivan's Mr. and Mrs, Wm.

Von Furniss k___ Cocal Mews A number of people around town have received letters from unknown persons the past couple of weeks, and some of the persons are pretty mad about it. One of the letters, the writer calls the “endless prayer chain." It repeats a prayer purporting to come from Bishop Lawrence. The prayer Is “Ob, Lord, Jesus Christ, ire Implore eterpal God to have mercy on all man­ kind. Keep us from all sin and take us to be with thee eternally. Amen." The writer says that the Bishop recom­ mends it to be written and sent to nine other persona. The writer of the queer epistle says that be who will not send it will be afflicted by some misfortune, and the person who pays no . attention to it will meet with a dreadful accident. The writer also says that the person who complies with his, or her command to write the nine letters will experience great Sy at Jerusulem during the holy att, and will thereafter be immune from every calamity. Just who the writter is who la In possession of all this knowledge is what the recipients of the letters would like to know. If writting nine letters in nine days will keep one from all catamites and bring internal joy, we would suggest that it be good to try. However, it is our opinion that the epistles eminate from a religious fanatic or some person who baa time to burn, and until the writer discloses bls or her acknowledgement of the authorship we can not change our opinion. Now that the political game has been decided. It Is in order, to inquire about next years base ball situation. Is there any reason why Nashville should not have, a base ball team next year? It brings business to town it helps tn keep the town on the map, besides there are many people in town who like the great national game. A good start toward having a good ball park was made last year, but the mat­ ter should not be dropped. The ground should be fixed up and put in­ to better condition. It would require but a snail amount of money to do this, and we know that if the village has a place where baseball and foot­ ball and other such athletic sports can be held, which is so near as the present grounds, it will prove a benefit to the town. The committee last year raised nearly 1200 for the ball team which money was all used for fixing up the groundsand for paraphernalia and the same amount used next year will give Nashville as good grounds as any town of the size can boast of. There was quite an exciting relay race on Main street Saturday noooFloyti Baird, baggageman at tbe de­ pot, became so engrossed with bls work that be forgot to go to tbe postoflice after the mail pouch for train 105 until the train was at the station. Then bis foot-ball training came into play and be started fOr the postofftoe on tbe run. Seizing tbe pouch be started back -as though making a quarter-back run for a touch-down Half way back he was met by Claude Manball, to whom be made a forward pass of tbe pouch and Claude stretched his limbs in a sprint toward the goal. When about a fourth of the distance was yet to be covered Clift Kleinbaos came to his rescue, and just in time, for Claude was badly winded, and tbe last lap on tbe relay was covered in record time by "Klelnie", and the pouch was flung into tbe door of the mail car just as the train was pulling out, and. the game was saved. - w Western State Normal school students were surprised today when it became known that one of their number, Miss Ladora Walker, became tbe wife of Rev. Henry I. Voelker, at Nash­ ville, Wednesday night. Even her room-mate, a Nashville friend, was unaware of her plans. The bride started in.on tbe life certificate course this fall. She was engaged to Mr. Voelker, but the wedding was not to take place for some time. After six weeks of college life she went home to spend Sunday. The wedding was at once arranged to take place Wednes­ day evening and it was a very quiet event. Mr. Voelker is pastor of the largest church in Nashville. He re cently completed three years’ service, during which time be was not to take a bride.—K ilamazoo dispatch to Detroit Free ftevs, Sunday, Novem­ ber 11. Rev. and Mrs. Voelker are now at home to their many friends, in a part of Mrs. Joel Kocher's residence on Queen street. Vermontville has a dog who is next to his job when it comes to getting a living without work. He is an Irish setter and his name is “Jim Willett." When be gets hungry he will go to one of his numerous friends about town and beg until they give him a nickel, which they do up for him in a piece of paoer.

These expositions of farrfr stock and products provide the fanner with the yearly comparison sheet by which he can discover wherein his own methods may be-improved. The dis­ play of fine stock and farm and garden crops inspire new and higher ideals for the farmer, towards vjhlch con­ sciously or unconsciously he works during the rest of the year. He re­ solves that seed selection and wise fertilization shall give him a bigger and better stand of corn or grain next year. His eyes feast themselves upon the choice breeds of cattle, sheep and hogs, and he hears -some, sug'gstions about Improved methods of breeding. He awakens to the fact that his own careless methods have resulted in de­ terioration of his own live stock, and resolves that he will begin to grade up, that be will get new blood into his hogs and cattle, and that he will even brt*ed his really fine mare to as good a sire as he can find in place of the scrub stallion he had used before and from which he h*d obtained a colt of inferior grade. And then there Is the display of farm machinery which al­ ways is fascinating and instructive. There Is always something new which the enterprising manufacturers are putting out for the lessening and cheapening of- the work on the farm, and It pays the farmer to keep posted as to the latest and best farm machin­ ery, whether he Is ready to Invest In ft or not. Many a suggestion Is se­ cured from the study of Improved farm Implements which may be adapted to the old machine without any infringe­ ment of patent. Then there Is the dis­ play of domestic things which always interest the wife and give to her thoughts and plans in reference to the work of the house and kitchen which will prove helpful all through the year. The fair is 'a great educator, and of all tbe events of the year should be the last to be missed by the farmer. If you haven’t any extra fine corn or grain, or cattle, sheep or hogs to exhibit, make It a point to see what others have to show. Make mental comparisons with the products of your own farm and then resolve that there •is going to be something doing on your place the coming year which will bring you up ciose'r into the ranks of the progressive,- up-to-date farmer. When it comes to framing laws for the protection of game, the farmer should have a voice iu the matter, or 'at least be consulted, for oftentimes whnt is desirable from a sportsman’s point of view is directly the contrary for the farmer's interests. Up in New Hampshire tills has been strikingly demonstrated. It appears that the deer in those sections are so numer­ ous and so fearless that they have be­ come a nuisance. The animals invade the farmers' domain, eat their fill and destroy much more than they eat. The pampered game is "finicky" in appe­ tite. A deer will take a dainty nip out of a head of cabbage,.leaving the bulk uneaten but valueless for the market. Thus a whole patch may be ruined. Other vegetables and grain and fruit are spoiled, in the same ruthless man­ ner. or trampled down by the preda­ tory beasts, and the total loss from this cause Is heavy. But the laws are stringent, and when a farmer shoots a deer, or even chases one away with a dog, be is punished severely. This does not appear equitable, and the New Hampshire farmer regards him­ self as entitled to relief. And as the farmer is a power in the state the probability is that the relief will be forthcoming when tbe legislature grasps the inwardnes of the situation. Plowing Is an art. Who but the educated type of farmer would look at it in such light, hut such it is, and to turn a good, even furrow requires years of practice. In some farming communities the skill of the man be­ hind the plow is tested by competi­ tive contests. In some counties in Illinois there are regularly organized associations that hold plowing match­ es every season, and wherever such associations exist it is a noticeable fact that there is a better grade of plowing done. Here is a suggestion for your community, if it does not al­ ready hold such plowing contests. Automobiles qn rural mail routes promise a now mission of usefulness for these speedy horseless vehicles. Three out of five rural mail carriers at Waukomis, Okla., are using such .method of travel and are now able to make tbe rounds In about two hours, whereas it took something like eight hours when horse and wagon were used.

Saros Colds: Prsvsxrt* Paaaawala LOCAL NEWS. • FOLETSHONEWEAR Thu depth to which a man plow* fals land has a bearing on tbe aucceaa of his farming. It Is possible to plow too deep, and It is certainly possible to plow too shallow, fo 'the best results. But someone will ask, what is the best depth for plowing? That is an unanswerable question, because all kinds ot conditions exist-on farms, and those- conditions are what must set the depth of plowing. The depth to which to* plow 'is a problem that has been considered, with other ques­ tions, and not by Itself, by our beat Investigators. In the investigations of the soils of southern Illinois, Prof. Hopkins found sections where the potash had been very much exhausted in the upper seven Inches of soil, so much so that the crops could not get enough of that element to make the growth they should make- The advice of-Prof. Hopkins waa, to plow a little deeper and thus get the use of the potassium below the depth of the old plowings. Now, here was a case where the land had been farmed for so long a time that the potassium was exhausted In the soil usually turned up by the plow. It Is certain that If a new piece of soil were brought under cultivation In that region, the conditions would not be the same. Tnls Illustrate® tho fact that no rule can be laid down. How deep to farm must depend to a considerable extent on the drainage conditions .existing on each field, says the' Farmers’ Review. If the land is flat and wet during a good deal of the growing season, no depth of plow­ ing will increase its productiveness. The roots of plants will not strike below .the water-line, and if, during an unusually dry time, they did go down, it would be to rot when the water rose permanently around them. Therefore it is impossible to "give*a rule for depth of plowing in such a case. It is certain that it is useless to attempt to cultivate the land to a greater depth than it has been drained. The character of the soil also has much to do with the depth of plow­ ing and cultivating A clayey soil will not give as good results if plowed deep as a sandy soil, for the air will not readily penetrate the clayey sol) to a certain depth, as it will the sandy soil, nor will the heat of the sun so quickly warm it up to a point where the seeds will germinate in 1L Sandy land can and should be plowed quite deep, for a number of reasons. One of these is that it dries out more quickly than clayey soil, as clay con­ tains more water than sandy soil. The sandy loam will therefore facili­ tate the deep growing of roots, as the roots easily penetrate the interstices between the particles of soil. There is still doubt that tbe -soil can be utilized several Inches deeper than is usually the case. Subsoil plowing has proved very beneficial on some lands, but not on others, and here again comes in an Illustration of the fact that we cannot lay down any rule that will prove of value on all lands. The depth of plowing must depend some on the fertility -that can be applied to the soil a.nd its ability to be aerated. MIXED HIS BUSINESS UP. Absentmindedness Badly Marred Sol­ emnity of Occasion. Not far from Worcester. Mass., there lived some. years ago a man who combined the business of rural undertaker with that of miller. He had spells of absence of mind that were dangerous to his dignity when in the presence of death. One ot these spells was upon him when he was officiating at the funeral of a worthy woman who had been one of the most popular leaders of the coun­ try society. The funeral was at the home of the family, and more 'people - attended than could be seated Inside the house, so many were standing abogt the'en­ trance when tbe time arrived for con­ signing the body to the hearse. The man who assisted tbe under­ taker, in the capacity of driver both at funerals and about the business of the grist mill, exulted in the name of John Smith. He was sitting on the funeral car down the road when his superior bawled oat from the door­ way of the house of mourning: "Bring up your wagon, John; we will load the grist!” It was the last call the undertaker in question had to bury any of that particular family.

For some reason he did not know or he had forgotten that train No. 47, the west-bound immigrant train, had been divided into two sections. The first section; headed for,Chica­ go with scores of foreigners from Lo­ cust Point, Baltimore, Md.. flew past the waiting freight. Some say it car­ ried at the rear no. lights indicating that a second section was following. ’ At Til events if it did the signals were unheeded, and Engineer Burke and Conductor Moste sent the freight eastward over the single track. A light fair of snow and a curve just west of Woodville contributed to the disaster. ' . Engines Crash Heati On. Engineer Reneinan on the immi­ grant train and Engineer Burke on the freight train each caught through the snowflakes the yellow gleam of the headlights as they rounded the fatal curve. Whistles and brake exhausts shrieked together. Then with a crash the engines flew together, reared like fighting beasts and fell sideward upon the embankment, carrying in broken mass coaches and freight cars with them. Thrown from sleep amid strange surroundings into the dark and cold of. early morning and made more ter­ rible by the cries of their injured and dying fellows, tbe 135 foreign-born passengers uninjured were crazed and panic-stricken. Hinder Work of Rescue. Their frantic actions made the work of rescue one of greater difficulty for the uninjured among the train crew. Ftrts showing here and there among the forward wreckage added to the confusion, and only the heroic determination and cool-headed ef­ ficiency of Conductors Brooks and Moste and their brakemen averted a greater loss of life. The entire immigrant train of six cars was burned, as were three cars In the freight train. The fireman of the freight train is dead and Fireman Duller of the immigrant train Is re­ ported dead. Engineers Reneman and Burke of the two trains and Baggagenjaster Snyder of the Immigrant train was injured.

Desperate Fight With Burglar. That a desperate battle took place between young Smith and the burg­ lar is evident from the disordered con•, did on of the dining room and kitchen of the Smith home. In addition td the twef bullets which were found to have entered Smith's body five other balls were found | lodged in the floors and wall of the two rooms. Three cartridges of Smith’s revolver had been discharged. Neighbors adjacent to the Smith home heard the shots and ran to their windows, but say they saw no oho run- ■ ning from tbe house. Hundreds of dollars worth of silver plate had been gathered together by the burglar, who apparently bad been in tbe house some time before being heard by young Smith. The entire police and detective forces are working on the case, but so far no clue has been discovered. Man Stabbed To Death.

She was leaning on her night of my adventures in Blankshire), the Hunt Club was to give a charity masquerade dance. This grasped my adventurous spirit by tho throat and refused to let go. The atmosphere surrounding the paragraph was spirituous with en­ chantment. There was a genuine novelty about this dance. Two packs of playing cards had been sent out as tickets; one pack to the ladles and one to the gentlemen. Charming Idea, wasn't It? These cards were to be shown at the door, together with ten dollars, but were to be retained by the recipients till two o'clock (supper time), at which moment, everybody was to unmask and take his partner, who held tbe corresponding card. In to supper. Its newness strongly appealed to me. I found myself reading the paragraph over and over. By Jove, what an inspiration!I knew tbe Blankshire Hunt Club, with Its colonial architecture, its great ball room, its quaint fireplaces, its ■tables and sheds, and the fame of its chef. It was one of those great coun­ try clubs that keep open house the year round.

Then tbe old man laughed, and the girl laughed, and 1 laughed; and 1 wasn’t quite sure that the grave waiter did not crack the ghost of a smile—in relief. “And what, may T ask, was the fatal card?" inquired the old man, folding his paper. “The ace of spades; we always choose that gloomy card In secret so­ cieties. There is; something deadly and suggestive about it," I answered morbidly. • "Indeed.” “Yes. Ah, if only you knew the ter­ rible life we-lead, we who conspire!

"Tommy-rot!" said the amiable old gentleman. “Uncle, his hair is too short for an anarchist." "And his collar too Immaculate." (So the old gentleman was this charm­ ing creature's uncle!) "We are obliged to disguise our­ selves at times." I explained. “The police are always meddling. “It is dis­ couraging." “You have some purpose, humorous or serious," said the glri shrewdly. “A man does not bring a pack of cards— "T didn't bring them; 1 sent oat for them." "—bring a pack of cards here simply to attract attention." she continued tranquilly. "Perhaps I am a prestidigitator in a popular dime museum," 1 suggested, willing to help her out, "and am doing a little advertising." "Now. that has a plausible sound." she admitted, folding her hands under .her chin. "It must be an interesting life. Presto—change! and all that." “Oh, I find it rather monotonous in the winter; but tn the summer it is fine. Then I wander about the sum­ mer resorts and give exhibitions." "You will pardon my niece." inter­ polated the old gentleman, coughing a bit nervously. "If she annoys you—" "Uncle!"—reproachfully. "Heaven forfend!" 1 exclaimed eag­ erly. "There Is a charm In doing un­ conventional things; and?most people do not realize it. and are stupid." "Thank you. sir." said the girl, smil­ ing. She was evidently enjoying her­ self; so was I. for that matter. "Do a trick for me." she commanded pres­ ently. I smiled weakly. I couldn't have done a trick with the cards.—not if my life had depended upon it. But I rather neatly extricated myself from the trap. "I never do any tricks out of busi­ ness hours." “Uncle, give the gentleman ten cents; I want to see him do a sleightof-hand trick." Her uncle, readily entering into tbe spirit of the affair, dived into a pocket and produced the pipce of silver. It looked as if 1 were caught. "There! this may make it worth your while." the girl said, shoving the coin in my direction. But again I managed to slide under; 1 was not to be caught. "It is my regret to say.' —frowning slightly, "that regularity In my busi­ ness Is everything. It wants half an hour for my turn to come on.

It makes a fine im­ pression.” She laughed and slid the dime back to her uncle.. ’Tm afraid you are an Impostor,” she qaid. “I’m afraid so, too,” I confessed, laughing. Then the comedy came to an end by the appearance of our separate orders. I threw aside the cards and proceeded to attack my dinner, }for I was hungry. From time to time I caught vague fragments of conversation between the girl and her uncle. “It’s a foot idea," mumbled the old gentleman; "you will got into some trouble or other.” "That doesn't matter. It will be like a vacation—a flash of old Rome, where 1 wish I were al this very mo­ ment. I nm determined.” “This Is what comes of reading ro­ mantic novels."—with a kind of grum­ ble. “1 admit there never was a particle Of TOtUf nre on yonr side of tne fam- j IJy,” the girl retorted. . . "Happily. There is peace in the house where I live," . "Do not argue with me." * "I am" not arguing with you; I should be only wasting my time. I am simply warning you that you are about to commit a lolly." “I have made up my mind.” "Ah! In-that cose I’have hopes,” he^returned. "When a woman makes up her mind to do one thlug. she gen­ erally does another. Why can't you put aside this fool idea and go to the. opera with me?” • "I have seen Carmen "in Paris, Rome,.

"Go. then; but please recollect that If anything serious comes of your folly, I did my best to prevent it. It's a scatter-braided idea, and no good will come of It, mark me."* "I can take carespf myself,"—trucu­ lently. “So I have often been forced to ob­ serve,"—dryly. (I wondered what it was all about.) "But. uncle dear, I am becoming so dreadfully bored!” ■. "That sounds final,’" sighed- the old man. helping himself to the haricots verts. (The girl ate positively nothing,) "But it seems odd that you can't go about your affairs after my own rea­ sonable manner."

At 7:30 o'clock the Brigade was called to order'by second Lieutenant, Orlan Boston, after which Mr. Fletcher took charge and conducted the drill exercise for about forty-five minutes. The boys looked very pretty in their white uniforms and showed marked progress in their drill work since their banquet a year ago. After the drill the guests were in­ vited to tbe home of Mr. and Mrs. Fletcher, above the chapel, where a very pretty reception awaited them. Dainty refreshments were served by tbe Misses Ida Bergman and Gladys V* >lfe, a marshmellow roast conclud­ ing that part of the feast.

Other toasts were given by Supt. T. U. Fuller and Hon. C. L. Glasgow. Both men gave the boys high praise and words of en couragement to continue in the practice, naming great benefits which may be derived from this organization.

The actlon.lt is stated.

It is reported that a > further investigation will bo made • and that certain officers may bo called on for an-explanation In con­ nection with the movements of these men at the time the Brownsville Inci­ dent occurrred. What Mr. Oliver Says. “The three companies of the Twen­ ty-fifth Infantry were ordered dis­ charged because it is not safe to have them In the army. They cannot be trusted and for the protection of the public and the preservation of the discipline of the army their discharge is necessary," Acting Secretary Oliver of the war department, said Monday. “The idea seems to prevail that the men were ordered discharged be­ cause thqy refused to tell on their companions and trecause they are black. Nothing could be further from the truth. These soldiers shot up a town. All Of them refuse to tell any­ thing about the disgraceful affair at Brownsville which resulted In mur­ der. Th& companies are shielding murderers. There are men in the com­ panies who are criminals of the worst sort Every effort possible has been made by the war department to find the guilty men. but without avail. If these companies were permitted to remain in the service and were to shoot up another town and again en­ danger the Ilves of citizens the war department would be in an indefens­ ible position. It Is impossible to courtmartial each of tho men In these com­ panies, for a charge cannot be pre­ ferred against every one of the mem­ bers of the companies. The govern­ ment has no means of punishing the crime committed except by discharg­ ing all tho men.” More Protests Made. * New York.

A Blue Domino? Ha! I had it! Old Friard had accidentally done up the ticket with my mask. A Blue Domino; evi­ dently I wasn't the only person who was going to a masquerade. Without doubt this fair domotKelle was about to join the festivities of some shop­ girl's masquerade,' where money and pedigree are inconsequent things, and where everybody is either a "loldy" or a “gent." Persons who went to my kind of masquerade did not rent their costumes; they laid out extravagant sums to the fashionable modiste and tailor, and had them made to order. A Blue Domino: humph! It was too late to take tho ticket back to Friard's; so I determined to mall it to him in the morning. It was now high time for me to be off. I got into my coat and took down my opera hat Outside the storm was still active; but the snow had a prom­ ising softness, and there were patches of stars to be seen here and there in the sky. By midnight there would be a full moon. I got to Jersey City without mishap; and when I took my seat in the smoker. I found I bad ten minutes to spare. I bought a news­ paper and settled down to read the day's news. It was fully half an hour between Jersey City and Blankshire: in that time I could begin and finish the paper. i There never was a newspaper those days that hadn't a war map in some one of its columns; and when I had digested the latest phases of the war in the far east. I quite naturally turned to the sporting page to learn what was going on among the other professional fighters. (Have I men­ tioned to you the fact that I was all through the Spanish war. the mix-up In China, and that I had resigned my commission to acept the post of-trav­ eling ealesman for a famous motor car company? If I have'not, pardon me. You will now readily accept my reck­ lessness o', spirit as a matter of course.) I turned over another page; from this I learned that the fair sex was going back to puff-sleeves again. Many an-old ’ sleeve was going to be turned upside down. Fudge! The train was rattling Another page through the yards, crackled. Ha! Here was that unknown gentleman-thief again, up to his old tricks. It Is remarkable how difficult it Is to catch a thief who has good looks and shrewd brains. I had already written him down as a quaslswell. For months the police had been finding clues, but they had never laid eyes on the rascal. The famous Haggerty of the New York detective force.—a man whom not a dozen New York policemen knew by sight and no criminals save those behind bars, earthly and eternal.—was now giving his whole attention to the affair. Some gaily dressed lady at a ball would suddenly find she had lost some valuable gems: and that would be the end of the affair, for none ever re­ covered her gems. The gentleman-thief was still at large, and had gathered to his ac­ count « comfortable fortune: that is, if he were not already rich and simply a kleptomaniac. Nq^doubt be owned one cf my racing cars, and was clear of the delinquent .lists at his clubs. I dismissed all thought of him, threw asidD the paper, and mentally figured out my commissions on sales during the past month. It was a handsome figure, large enough for two. This pastime, too. soon failed to Interest me. I gazed out of the window and watched the dark shapes as they sped I saw the girl's face from time to time. What a fool I had been not to ask her name! She could easily have refused, and yet as easily have grant hearts and the desperate adventure upon which 1 told her I was about to embark. Many a fine friendship has grown out of'smaller things. Next, turning from the window, I fell to examining my fellow passen­ gers, in the hope of seeing some one 1 knew. Conversation cm trains makes short journeys. ... I sat up. stiffly in my seat Diagonally across the aisle sat the Very chap I had met in the curio-shop! He was quietly reading ajtopulsr magazine, and oc­ casionally a smile lightened his sar­ donic mouth. Funny that I should run acipss him twice in the; same evening! Men who are contemplating suicide never smile in that fashion. He was sinoking a small, well-colored meerschaum pipe with evident relish. Somehow, when a man clenches his teeth upon the mouthpiece of a re­ spectable pipe. It seems impossible to associate that man with crime. But the fact that I had seen him selecting a pistol in a pawnshop rather neutral­ ized the good opinion I wsb willing to form. I have already expressed my views upon the subject The sight of him rather worried me. though I could not reason why. Whither was he bound? Had ha finally taken one of Friard's pistols? For a moment 1 was on the point of speaking to-him, if only to hear him tell more lies about the ten of hearts, but I wisely put aside the temptation. Besides. It might be possible that he would not be glad to see me. I always avoid the chance acquaintance, unless, of course, the said chance acquaintance is met under favorable circumstances —like the girl in Mouquin's. for in­ stance! After all. it was only an in­ cident; and, but for his picking up that card, I never should have, remem­ bered him. ' Behind him sat a fellow with a countenance as red and round and complacent as an English butler's,— red hair and small twinkling eyes. Once he leaned over and spoke to my chance acquaintance, who, without turning his head, thrust a match over his shoulder. The man with the face of a butler lighted the most villainous pipe I ever beheld. I wondered If they knew each other. But. closely as I watched. I saw no sign from either. I turned my collar up and snuggled down. There was no need of his seeing me. Then my thought reverted to the ten of hearts again. My ten of hearts! The wrinkle of a chill ran up and down my spine! My ten of hearts! Hastily I took out the card and ex­ amined the back of it." It was an un­ commonly handsome back, represent­ ing Diana, the moon, and the midnight sky. A horrible supposition came to supposing they looked st‘ “ the mo: — back as well as at the face of the supposing card? And __ _again, ’ . .. ’I was miles away from the requisite color and design? I was staggered. Here was a pretty fix! I had never even dreamed of such a contingency. Hang it! I now wished 1 had stuck to my original plan, and gone to the theater.

Bladder troubles almost.al ways result from a derangement of the kidneys and a cure is obtained Quickest by a proper treatment of the kidneys. If you are feel­ ing badly you can make no mistake by taking Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root, the great xidney, liver and bladder remedy. It corrects inability to hold’ urine - and scalding pain in passing it, and over­ comes that unpleasant necessity of being compelled to go often through the day, and to get up many • times during tlie eight. Tlie mild and the extraordinary effect of Swamp-Root is soon realized. It stands the highest for its wonderful cures of the most distressing cases. Swamp-Root is pleasant to take and is sold by all druggists in fifty-cent and one-dollar size bottles.

Then and the night before we were in so high a latitude that our ears r|ing and our heads felt as if they had grown to twice their usual proportions. My friend was very eick also for an hour or two. As we descended the Sierras we felt better. And such beautiful scenery! Surely our introduction to California was grand. As we left Nemo, Nevada, -we ran for about five miles before we crossed the line. It was snowing, bpt lhe trees were green and tbe green grass peeped from under tbe damp snow. It seemed as though the grass •began to look green as soon as wecrossed in'o California.. From there on everyone fairly went into ecstasies over everything. I arrived In Sacramento at 1:30 p. m. Took leave of all my friends, which seemed rather hard as they were all going on to Los Angeles and I was left alone. One old French lady just returning from a trip to Europe said as we bade ber good-bye: "I wish you a pleasant time and hope you’)! be married soon.” Blush, well I guess I did! An old patent medicine man just behind me almost finished me by adding, "Best thing that could happen to you.” I could have pounded him, altho he had been very kind to me. Now to our porter, who was a mu­ latto and waited on us just like a faithful dog. He would run his legs off for us. He was kind to everyone, but eimply angelic tout. And witty, Oh my! He never passed our seats or berth without some kind of a joke. He would commence in tbe morning be­ fore we got up with, "No. 12, if you don’t get up you’ll not have a thing to eat. We'se just coming to the breakfast place." I would sometimes answer, "Oh porter, are you sure?” He would always return, “I jus’ is”, which would set me to laughing bo that I could hot get up for a while. I always had something to say to him just to bear bis remarks which sounded eo funny. My friend bad an upper berth and she said one night, “Porter, bring tne tbejstilto.” "They just isn’t •tilts, that's Jacob’s ladder.” My, how we laughed 1 Thursday a. m. Will finish this now.

The county school com­ missioners were appealed to- by the superintendent of public instruction to assist the department in getting prop­ er bonds in districts, and in some counties a great deal of work was per­ formed by them. Where personal bonds for twice the amount that would come into the bands of district treasurers could not be procured the district boards provided for surety company bonds. In a great many dis­ tricts surety bonds were paid for out of the district treasuries. * State Secretary Buell of the Y. M. C. A., while in Lansing, spoke of the great activity of the oi-ganizatlon in tbe state In the way of building. Build­ ings under way of for which canvasses are in progress or have been complet­ ed, have an aggregate valbe of 81,135,000. The most important of these,, of course*, is .the Detroit building, which will cost 8600,000, for which the pledges have been made. The Jackson building will be dedicated in December. Foundations are being laid for tho Durand railroad Y. M. C. A.; In Bay City the money Is raised and plans are being made; at Calumet and Ishpeming the foundations will be laid this fall, and at Port Huron 820^000 has been raised toward the amount needed.

Money for State Institutions. 5 The boards of control of the various state institutions have made their wants known to the state board of cor­ rections and charities, which has giv­ en its approval to a great many of the items and will recommend their appropriation by the legislature. All that the institutions want of the legis­ lature at the coming session is 82,­ 354,927.85. Requests for appropriations to the amount of 82.165,418^0 have been approved, the amount rejected being 8189,412.88. These figures in­ clude special appropriations desired In all institutions and the amounts for current expanses as well, to all but the prisons and asylums, which are other­ wise provided for by statute on the basis of . the number eft inmates. The request of the board of control of the state prison at Jackkon for 8440,000 for a blnder-twlne plant Is not includ­ ed In the foregoing computation. The board took no action on this proposi­ tion, but will submit it to the legisla­ ture. State Conventions at Lansing. No less than five state conventions will be held in Lansing in December. The largest gathering will undoubted­ ly be {hat ot the State Association of Farmers* clubs, which comes annual­ ly.

The board also granted the use of the senate chamber to the State Association of Superintendents of the Poor, a com­ paratively new organization, for De­ cember 12 and 13. The American So­ ciety of Equity is also booked for a meeting in Lansing during December. The state auctioneers will also make their annual visit, and tbe State Asso­ ciation of Judges will meet during the week of December 24. This meet­ ing will probably be held in the su­ preme court room. Investigate Lansing "Scandal.” Stories involving a Battle Creek husband with an alleged grievance and R. E.

An inquiry from the city attorney of Kalamazoo brings out tbe fact that since the supreme court declared the act in relation to Itinerant merchants passed in 1905 invalid, the law of 1901 is operative, and this act requires a state as well as a local license. The act of 1905 held to be invalid, estab­ lished the license fees to be paid In cities of various sizes, its defect being that the council was authorized to suspend such payment when It saw fit. The act of 1901, now In effect, pro­ vides that a transient merchant must pay 825 for a state license, deposit 8500 with the secretary of state as se­ curity against claims, and also take out a local license, based on the value of his stock of goods and the tax rate. The state authorities are seeking the enforcement of this acL Holds Phonograph Evidence Legal.

The hotelkeeper brought a phonograph Into court with records ot engines whistling and cars rattling to prove that the presence of the road netj.- his property lessened its value.

He says the present law is demoralizing to the railway and general prosperity of the stats and will hamper their develop­ ment. *T find that legislators have come to think that both extremes have been compassed in taxing the railroads in times past and that now a happy medi­ um should be struck which w'ould alike be just to the state and to the railroads.” said Mr. Morley. "As an example of what the present law* means, I will say that during the first year of the existence of the Mwp kegon interurban we paid out eight per cent, of our gross receipts in taxes. The average business man would throw, up bis bands if asked to pay that mush out of the gross re­ ceipts of his business.

A few much needed changes of seat# were made last Saturday. Thanksgiving exercise# were held In the first four rooms Wednesday. The German classes arc mastering tbe song Die Lorela by Heinrich Heine. Primary pupils are being taught about the Pilgrim# and tbe first Thanksgiving Day. Thanksgiving programs will be grven at 2M5, in rooms 2,3 and 4. All are cordially invited. After an cbsence of over three weeks because of sickness, Leon Sprague re-entered High school Tuesday. Carl Clark has accompanied his Uncle and Aunt to Vermontville, where they have gone to reside. Pauline Kunz and Clara McDerby gave a dialogue, "a sllghtmisunderstanding,” for morning exercises in their room. . x Tbe sixth aud seventh grade draw­ ing classes have been making some very neat Thanksgiving booklets and Invitations. Two of our teachers, Miss Lewis and Miss Grohe, arc pursuing courses in absentia with the Western State Nor­ mal al .Kai am a zoo. Because of the serious blow dealt out our tbe virtues of Thanksgiving fav­ our literary debaters it is considered doubtful if Thanksgiving, will again be observedMr. A. M. Highley, a former teacher st the Orchard Lake Military Acad­ emy, and now with the McMillan Co. • of Chicago, visited our schools for an hour last Thursday. Tuesday after school the second high school played the first team in a game of 10 and 3 minute halves. A score of 31 was piled up by the regulars, the first this year. Mr. Roscoe made a most welcome call on the different teachers last Fri­ day afternoon. Perhaps the teachers are partial to such calls—other busi­ ness people are, too,—it was pay day. Special attention is being given to the Leaching of writing throughout our school. Tuesday the work was begun . in the high school. Tbe first elements of good penmanship were considered. Tuesday and Wednesday mornirg Mr. Fuller read from Great Books as Life Teachers, a review by Newell Dwight Hilles the character Tito in Romol a. It points out the folly of tampering with conscience. There are many of the library books that are still missing, among them being Vol. VIII of Gollanz's editor: of Shakespeare's Complete Works. Any helj: in locating these books will be appreciated very much. Such a large number of pupils were absent, from the primary room some small part of last week that men­ tion of tbeir names is omitted. Those absent from other rooms are as fol­ lows: Room2.Cordie Bailey and Mar­ ion Cove Room 3. Victor Brumm, Chester Cartier, Cecil Cazier, Hilda Cooibaugh and Zuella Griffin. Room 4, Arthur Brown, Verna Hecker and Leah Walrath High school, Clara Austin, May Bell, Kate Bowen, Vid­ ian Roe and Nina Tilmarsh. Parents are urged to inspect this list and grow interested. The second meeting of the Olympic society was attended by 180 people, which attendance is said lo be the largest In tbe history of the society. Speaking generally, the program was an improvement on the first one, as a direct result of more careful prepara­ tion. The debate on the subject, “Resolved, that the benefits derived from observing Thanksgiving do not equal the harm,” was well handled. Tbe judges, Messrs. Dickinson, Mar­ ble and Fletcher, rendered a unani­ mous decision in favor of the affirma­ tive, which side ‘was argued by Eva Evans and Vidian Roe. Mr. Glas­ gow acted as critic, and rendered tbe society a most valuable service by tbe manner in wblch he performed this duty. After a general statement con­ cerning the whole program and what is expected of a critic, he analyzed the program very thoroughly, pointing out to each performer the virtues and faultj of their delivery and thought. In his criticism of the Journal of Wit, he pointed out the desirability that one of such rare literary turn of mind as tbe author, Mr. Gale Nelson, bad proved himself, should'seek occupa­ tion as a journalist. Were we able to reproduce tbe entire criticism, it would be a good evidence of tbe nature of the program and would give Inter­ ested friends a fair idea of what our literary society aims U> do. Better still is personal attendance. Come nex . time. Total receipt# 88.41. BENEDICT. At tbe homo of Mr. aud Mrs. Stephen Benedict on State street*! ast Thursday afternoon occurred lb# wed­ ding of tbeir youngest daughter, Marian May, to Mr. Roy E Reynolds. The ceremony was performed by ReV. H. I. Voelker in the presence of about sixty guest#. . .. Miss Nina Titmarsh presided at the piano and to the strains of the wed­ ding march the bridal couple, pre­ ceded by the ribbon bearer# and Rev. Voelker, descended the - stairs .and made their way to the corner of the sitting room, where, under a bower of lace and myrtle tbe impressive cere­ mony was performed . - Tbe bride was attired in a beau­ tiful gown of white brilliantlne and wore a bridal rose. The groom was attired !n the conventional black. Tbe ribbon bearer# were'the little nieces of the bride, Ernestine Benedict and Arlihe McKinnls, bud were very prettily dressed in all white. After the ceremony elegant refresh­ ment# were served, E. V. Barker catering. The happy couple received many beautiful and useful present#. The guest# from Out of town who were present were: Mr. and Mr#. E. H. Smith and daughter, Clara, aud Mr. and Mrs. Elmer Benedict* of Phoenix, N Y.; Lewis Benedict, Mr#. George Garrison and daughter, Gwendoline, of Pennelviile, N. Y.: Mr. and Mrs. Allan Lampman of Colon, Mich.:Mrs. Dan Gilbert and daughter, Carrie, of Fulton, N. Y.; Dr. and Mrs. J.' C. Lampman of Hastings and Mr. and Mrs. John Hough of Battle Creek. After the refreshments were served, the young people who attended the wedding prepared to steal tbe bride, orlbe groom, and were planning all socls of practical jokes, ms is usual in-such cases, but the newlymarried couple became suspicious and very successfully made tbeir escape They took the 5:28 train for Charlotte, and had made good tbeir escape be­ fore their fermenters realized they had been given the slip. The latter would not be downed so easily, how­ ever, and followed them on the 6:30 train and by a lucky coincidence found them, although they were io hiding. They were allowed to go on to Battle Creek, where they passed the latter part of the week. The young couple are highly re­ spected and are receiving the congrat­ ulations of their many friends. They expect to soon move on Burdette Benedict’s farm in Maple Grove. BargainsTo’pianos. Owing to a short delay in going fe I Detroit, and while Grib.

Miss Burnett, starring in “The Honeymoon” is a brilliant, intellect­ ual woman, as ail testify who have seen her work. She comes from one of the olde’t and best pioneer families of southern Ohio and was educated at Wellesley College, which fact alone makes her appearance in almost every town a social and theatrical event. Personally she is charming, full of the joy of living, girlish enthusiasm for her work and a broad interest in everything and everybody. On the stage, she has a winsome beauty, a mellow, rich voice yet distinct and clear, changing fascinating facial expression and above all a natural simple method of acting that brings her close to the hearts of the people. “The Honeymoon” in which Miss Burnett is appearing this season is a sufficiently clever play to draw a good crowd on its own merits. It has the comical mis-understandings, the pretty girls and their dashing lovers, the catching songs and good dancing, and strong dramatic situations follow­ ing each other in such quick succession that one fairly holds one’s breath at each thrilling curtain. The stage settings are adequate and the costumes especially elaborate and magnificent. The cast supporting Miss Burnett was carefully selected for their ability and fitness for the parts to be pl eyed. This flneattraction will appear at the Nashville opera house Wednesday evening, Dec. 19, �RHEUMATISM CANNOT BE CURED UNLESS URIC 0 IS USED SHORT SESSION CONGRESS BEGINS Sedden Deaths, Heart Failure and Paralysis* Are Caused by Poisonous Uric and Rheumatic Acids.

ARMED MOB BURNS ” TOBACCO FACTORIES MASKED MEN APPLY TORCH TO TWO BIG STEMMERIES AT PRINCETON, KY. Flames Guarded Until All Hope of Saving Structures Is Passed—Op­ position to Trust Believed to Be Cause of Work. Princeton, Ky.. Dec. 3.—Two -big to bacco stenfmerles were destroyed Saturday by, fires set by a mob of 300 masked men. The* mob held the town at bay until the flames were burning so furiously that they could not be extinguished. One of the ateiumeries was con­ ducted by John Stbger and the other by John C. Orr. The Steger factory is controlled by the American Snuff company. Mr. Steger being the Princeton agent for that concern. Mr. Orr Is the repre­ sentative of the Imperial Tobacco company of New York. There were about 150,000 pounds of tobacco in each warehouse and all of It was burned. Capture of the Waterworks. The mob' took charge of the police •tatlon and the water works.

"Another bill which has just, past one house of the congress and which Is ur­ gently necessary should be enacted Into law ta that conferring upon the governipent the right of ap{>eal in ■ criminal cases on questions of law.

I have specifically in view a recent decision by a district judg<> leaving railway employee" with­ out remedy for violation of a certain socalled labor ^atute. It seems an absurd­ ity to permit a single district judge, against what may be the judgment of the Immense majority of his colleagues -on the bench, to declare a law solemnly -enacted by the congress to be "uncon­ stitutional," and then to deny to the government tho right to have the suju^no court definitely decide the quesEvzsion by Technloelitle* ^'in connection with this matter, I would like to call attention to the very unsat­ isfactory state of our criminal law. re­ sulting in l%rge part from the hnb!t of setting aside the judgments of Inferior - courts on technicalities absolutels un­ connected with tho merits of the cose, and where there is no attempt to show that there has been any failure ot substantlal justice. It would be well to en­ act a law providing Something to the effect that: "No judgment shall be set aside or new trial grunted in any cause, civil or crim­ inal, on the ground of misdirection of the jury or the improper admission or re­ jection of evidence, or for error as to any matter of pleading or procedure unless, in the opinion of the court to which the application Is made, after an examina­ tion ot the entire cause, it shall affirma­ tively appear that the error complained ot has resulted In a miscarriage of Justice " Injunctlon*. On the subject of the abolition of In­ junctions in labor disputes, he says: "In my last message I suggested the en­ actment of a law in connection with the .Issuance of Injunctions, attention hav­ ing been sharply drawn to the matter by the demand that the right of apply­ ing Injunctions In tabor cases should be -wholly abolished. It Is at least doubtful whether a law abolishing altogether the use of Injunctions In such rases would stand the lest of the courts; In which case of course the legislation would be ineffective. Moreover, I believe It would be wrong altogether to prohibit the use of injunctions. It is criminal to permit sympathy with criminals to weaken our hands in upholding the law; and if men seek to destroy life or property by' mob violence there should be no impairment ■of the power of. the courts to deal with them in the moot summary and effective way possible. But so far as possible the abuse of the power should be provided "In thl-s matter of injunctions there is lodged In Die hands ot the judiciary a necessary power which is nevertheless subject to the possibility of grave abuse, it is a power that should be exercised with extreme care and should be sub­ ject to the Jealous scrutiny of all men, and condemnation should oc meted out as much to tbe judge who falls to use it boldly when necessary as to the Judge who uses II wantonly or oppressively. Of course, a judge strong enough to be fit for his office will enjoin any resort to violence or intimidation, especially by conspiracy, no matter -*•—* - -r •— may be of the rights of rei. There must be dealing with disorder, But there must likewise- be .no such _____ .... lunctlve power as Is implied in forbidding laboring men to strive for their own bet­ terment in peaceful and lawful ways; nor must the Injunction be used merely to aid so^e big corporation in carrying eat schemes for its own aggrandizement. It must b" remembered that a prelim­ inary injunction in a labor case. If granted without adequate proof (oven when authority can be found to support the conclusions of law on which It Is founded), may often settle the dispute between the parties; and therefore If improperly granted may do irreparable wrong. Yet there are many judges who assume a mntter-of‘fact course granting of u preliminary Injunction to be the ordinary and proper judicial disposition of such case*; and there have undoubt­ edly been flagrant wrongs committed by judges in connection with labor dis­ putes even within the last few years, altho 1 think much less often than In former years. Such judges by their un­ wise action immansely strengthen the of a mob. Need .for Negro Education. "There Is another matter which has a direct bearing upon thia matter e' lynching and of thp brutal crime which aometimea calls ltvforth and at other own'number. Even those who them­ selves for tho moment profit by such maltreatment of their fellows will In the long run also suffer. No more shortsighted policy can be imagined than. . in the fancied Interest of one class, to prevent tho education of an­ other class. The free public school, the whole pol ommunity most, would be deprived of them If they only received school facilities proportionately to the taxes they paid. This is as true of one portion of our country aa of another. It is as true for the negro as for the white man. The whits man.

The graduates of these schools turn out well In the great ma­ jority of cases, and hardly any of them become criminals, while what little proposed can surely be safely taken, for the decisions of the commission would not bind the parties in legal fashion, and [(pt would give a chance for public opinon- to exert Its full forte for ths right." Control of Corporation*. A considerable portion of the message Is devoted to the subject of federal con­ trol of corporations In what he refers to ■_ _______ _• •nt fled their enactment, but recommends the amendment of the meat inspection law so aa to put dates on the labels of than on the government. Continuing on this subject of the control of corporations by the federal government he says: porience has conclusively shown the Im­ possibility of securing by the sctlons of nearly half a hundred different state legislatures anything but ineffective chaos in the way of dealing with the great corporations which do not operate exclusively within the limits of any one state. In some method, whether by a tlon»-a control that will among other thing* prevent the evils of excessive overcapitalization, and that wiH -om;*l the disclosures' by each big corporation of Its stockholders and of Its properties and business, whether owned directly or gi zubsldlary or affiliated corporations. i will tend to put a stop to the seeurof Inordinate profits by favored viduals at the expense wbsther of the general public, the stockholders, or ths wageworkers. Our sffort should be not so much to prevent consolidation as the peopi and ultraconservatlves who are them­ selves most potent In increasing sqdtallstic feeling. One of the most efficient methods of averting the consequences of a dangerous agitation, which is 80 per cent, wrong. Is to remedy the JO per cent of evil as to which the agitation Is well founded: Tho best way to avert the very vitas lynch law. undesirable move for the governmental ownership of railways is to secure by man tho government on behalf of the people as a whole such adequate . control and respect of those whites whose neigh­ ww _ ... -bor ho or she 1*. thereby helps the evils which give "... rise to the agitation whole colored race as it can be helped them.

They fall to give to the national government sufficiently ample power, through United States .courts and by the *se of the army and navy, to protect aliens in tho rights secured to them under solemn treaties which are the law of the land. 1 therefore earnestly recommend that the criminal and civil statutes of ths United States be so amended and added to ub to enable the president, acting for the United States government, which is responsible In our International rela­ tions. to enforce tho rights of allene un­ der treaties. Even as the law now Is something can be done by the federal L government toward this end. and In the matter now before me affecting the Jap­ . anese, everything that It is In my power to do will be done, and all of the forces, military and civil, of tho United States which I may lawfully employ will be so employed. There should, however, bo no particle of doubt as to the power of tho national government completely to perform and enforce--Its ..own obligations foreigners which would plunge us Into war. The city by Itself would be powerpendent, of this government it would never venture to perform or permit the performance of the acta complained of. The entire'power and the whole duty to firotect the offending city or the otfendng community lies tn tne hands of ths United States government It is un­ thinkable that we should continue a pol­ icy under which a given locality may be allowed to commit a crime against a friendly n»:ion, and the United States government limited, not to preventing the commission of the crime, but. In tbe laat resort, to defending tho people who have committed it against the conse­ quences of their own wrongdoing." Cuban Intervention.

If the elections become a farce. and If the Insurrectionary habit becomes confirmed In the Island, it is ab­ solutely out of the question that the Island should continue independent; and the United States, which has assumed the sporsorshlp before the civilized world for Cuba's career aa a nation, would the government was managed in such orderly fashion as to secure the safety of life and property.

The following teachers were out of town visitors during the Thanksgiving vocation: Mis* Updyke at Hillsdale, Miss Johnson at Lake Odessa, Miss Buchanan at Grand itaplds and Mr. McBain al Delton. Teachers in rural schools are' urged to begin- early the preparation of eighth graders for tbe county exami­ nation.

Tbe ChristmM time is near and nothing nicer con be selected as a gift for yo‘ur girl or boy In school than a good book. Tbi* is lhe way many advertisemente read, and you will make no mistake if you lay sufficient emphasis on ther'word “good”.

A gootly company of parents and Triends attended Thanksgiving exer­ cise* Wednesday. It was especially -enjoyable to see a few men so inter­ - esteu that they took the time to attend. The rooms were very tastily prepared for lhe occasion, -nd quite generally in keeping with the occasion Many ‘.litde gift*, suitable to brightening the 'Thanksgiving table, were distributed among the deserving Ye Huperintendent received a package. .X second team of school boy* under the captaincy of Kent Nelsou played a second team from Hastings here Thursday morning. The home team repeatedly had the ball In the visitors' r* territory, but did not succeed in mak­ ing M score The only noteworthy playing wm that by Kent Nelson, who <wm a good ground gainer and a sure tackier.

The boys on both side* were very gentlemanly throughout, and no ooOMion was found at any time U> penalize on that account, Lynn Gifford, captain of Olivet’s U-am, wm . undoubtedly their star player, m when given the ball he would repeatedly make good gains, and it was he. who io the.secbna half so cleverly picked up the* on side kick by Moore and made a touch-down in less than two minuter play after the kick-off. In a scrimmage early in the game he received a cut above the right eye which wm nothing serious, but wb|cL bled so profusely m to In­ terfere with bis sight at times. The local back-field players .‘Scheldt, Marrhali and Brumm, who were playing tbelr list high school game, all played the game of their live*, there­ fore no one of them could be classed m the star. They repeatedly made their distance on line plunge*, but were unable often to circle the end* for reMonable gains. At- one time the locals had the ball within one .yard of goal line, when byfi masterly defensive work by Olivet,‘and pobr head work by Nashville, the boys were thrown back for a loss. Purcbis* sustained hl* usual reputation m a tackler. He wm playing too near the line to receive the on-side kick which resulted in a touch-down. All In all the game wm a well played one, and a more even contest than the score would seem to indicate, as six of Ollyet’s point* were made by their clever tricks, when they found Pur­ chia* creeping too near the line on de­ fense. Every effort wm made to make the visitors comfortable and to enjoy tbelr visit.here, for all of which every member of their team expressed appreciation and a desire to continue athletic relations with- the NMhville team.

' ELK CONVENTION IN JUNE Lansing.—Under the recent ded•ion of the supreme court in_ the Manthey case the attorney general holds that eventually all the con­ tracts In force In the prisons of the ■tate- except ono may not be re­ newed and cannot be carried out ex­ cept in a limited way. The attorney general informed Warden Russell, of the Marquette prison, that under the decision of- the court cigarmaking is a mechanical trade, and that he must put no more new men at work mak­ ing cigars unless they are learned in the business 'of cigarmaking before coming to the prison. When those who are now working at, cigar-making In the prison shall have been dis­ charged tiio contract must cease. Warden Armstrong, of the state pris­ on at Jackson, also has been advised that be must put no more men at work making brooms unless they are already broommakers, but the law will permit him to retain at their present employment those who are now engaged in broommaking. The warden is also advised that granite cutting Is a mechanical trade, and that only such men as are learned in the trade may be employed on that bontract As to the Whitington & Cooley contract,. which Qrovidea for the manufacture of hoes, rakes, shovels and other small tools, the attorney genera! holds that It pro­ vides for teaching a mechanical trade, but as the chief supply for home con­ sumption of the article manufactured la not made in the state, the business is not .prohibited by the constitution, and the contract may be fulfilled. As to the reed furniture contract at the Ionia prison the attorney general ex­ presses no opinion, as he Is not now satisfied whether the chief supply for home consumption Is made In the •Ute. Crossing Tangle Settled. . The state crossing board held a meeting here to straighten out a pe­ culiar tangle. Several years ago the Michigan Central Railroad company submitted to the crossing board a map of the Detroit. Delray & Deariborn railway for approval. A few 'months previous the Toledo Shore (Line had submitted a map of a line Tunning south from Detroit Both anaps had been approved, and it was •not officially known that the two illnes crossed each other until the To­ ledo Shore Line had been construct­ ed. The Michigan Centra] company recently asked tho railroad crossing board to determine who was in pos­ session of the prior rights at the crossing, and the board decided in fa­ vor of the Toledo- Shore Line. It will devolve upon the Michigan Cen­ tral to install and maintain the de­ vices for the protection of the cross­ ing of the lines, the other railways having been first constructed. Public Interest Not Involved. Attorney General Bird, having dlscovered that no public interest was involved In the quo warranto pro­ ceedings commenced recently to de­ termine the rights of the C. H. Bloomstrom Motor company of De­ troit recently consented that the case be dismissed, and an order to that effect was entered by the supreme court. When the suit was Insti­ tuted by the attorney general be was given to understand that the com­ pany had no right to exercise the privileges of a corporation, as it was not legally incorporated. Upon in­ vestigation. however, the attorney general found a quarrel exisited be­ tween some of the stockholders over their respective rights. The concern is prosperous and doing a le­ gitimate business in every way, and, as no public interest seemed to be dlsinvolved, the proceeding missed. Accident Insurance Ruling. The supreme court made an interest­ ing ruling on accident Insurance. The case was that of George W. M. Hunt of Kalamazoo, who was Injured while playing Indoor baseball In the Y. M. C. A. gymnasium. He filed a claim for injuries with the United States Acci­ dent association. In which he held an accident policy, but the claim was re­ sisted, and when he sued, the lower court directed a verdict for the asso­ ciation on the ground that he had vol­ untarily and unnecessarily exposed himself to danger, such as would con­ stitute a bar to recovery of damages under the terms of the policy. The supreme court reversed this decision and ordered a new trial. Justice Grant remarked In the opinion of the court that if ordinary contributory neg­ ligence could be so oonstrued as to prevent recovery for injuries, then such policies would be shorn of much their value. Shumway Wants Analyst. Dr. F. W. Shumway, of the state board of health, says he will ask the next legislature to provide for a laboratory and the employment of a bacteriologist In the Interests of doing more effective work- in cases of epidemics, especially where the milk and water supplies are Involved. He declares that often individuals and officials are-deterred from having sam­ ples of suspected water or milk analyzed, owing to the expense con­ nected with such examination at the University of Michigan.

Is It not' preposterous that a health officer, who, if a physi­ cian, must know what his necessities are to prevent an epidemic or to stop one, to take care of smallpox cases, etc., should have his bills audited by a board of supervisors to determine their reasonableness? The whole thing is entirely out of their line, and alto­ gether within his specialty. I like the Kentucky system. where health boards are chosen from the ranks -of the profession. For Change In Taxation. The state tax commission does not think the present method of fixing the rate of taxation of the express com­ panies Is just, and an amendment to the statute will be recommended to the next legislature. At present the law provides that the water mileage of the express companies may be taken into consideration In fixing the assessment of the companies, and this Is said to reduce the assessment far below a reasonable pqlnt. The tax commission will also ask the legisla­ ture to amend the law that It may re­ view assessments upon the application of non-resident owners. This is an important change in the tax commis­ sion law. At present the commission may not review assessments except upon the complaint-of a resident, tax­ payer. Under the proposed amend­ ment the commission would have power to review the assessments upon the complaint of any railroad company or non-resident owner of property, and reviews of assessments might become as general as they were under the old law, which gave the commission un­ limited power to review assessments. Patent Held Invalid. In the supreme court of the United States a decision was rendered in the case of Ann Francis, a Chippewa In­ dian versus Peter J. Francis and oth­ ers in favor of tho last named. The case was based on a controversy over a large tract of land In Bay county, and Involved the question whether land patented to an Indian for the use of himself and his heirs under a treaty, and with the reservation that it could not be alienated except with the con­ sent of the present of the United States. Is otherwise alienable. Ann Francis is a descendant of a Chippewa brave named Botf-Kow-Ton-Den, to whom, under these restrictions, the land was reserved In 1819. The other parties to the stilt claimed the land under possession covering 20 years’ time, so that the point at Issue was whether, they could thus acquire the land in the face of the treaty stipula­ tion and the terms of the patent The ~ court decided that they could. out a M-eood common sense. And Mr. Richard Burnett, who is Miss Burnett'* father and manager, is ’ noted for a goodly supply of that useful commodity. He leaves all the artistfb side of the theatrical work to his clever daughter but the money end he attend* to him self, and is in it for strictly busines purposes.

It is of fine flavor, rich and positive. ■ Demonstration on Saturday. To get a perfect idea of Sabo’s virtues, drop in next Saturday and have a cup.

Moody as associate Jus­ tice of the supreme court of the Unit­ ed States, when hls nomination was called up Monday in executive session of the senate. The opposition to Mr. Bonaparte was based upon the speech made by him in Chicago in September, 1899, before the conference held there to consider the trust question. In that speech Mr. Bonaparte declared that legislative acUon in regulation or re­ straint of combinations was undesir­ able. When the Moody, nomination was placed before the senate Senator Culberson called attention to the fact that the position he is. about to vacate will be filled by Mr. Bonaparte, and he then read extracts from tbe Chicago speech in support of an argument that Mr. Bonaparte is not qualified to take the responsibility of enforcing antitmaf Senator Knox, formerly attorney general, said that be had talked with Mr. Bonaparte and had found him thoroughly in sympathy with the administratloh in breaking up combina­ tions of capital which operate In re­ straint of trade. Appropriation Bill Up. The house Monday began considera­ tion of the legislative, executive and judicial appropriation bill. Simplified spelling held the atten- tlon of the house for an hour or more, the paragraph in- the bill fixing tbe orthographic standard in some recog­ nized-authority furnishing Mr. Clark, of Missouri; Mr.’ Gillette, of Massa­ chusetts, and Mr. Livingston, of Geor­ gia, an opportunity to express them­ selves on the merits of the president's order to the public printer relative to the modified spelling of 300 words in common use. ' • The president has filled the vacancy to be created by tho transfer to the cabinet of Ambassador Myer at St Petersburg, by the selection of John W. Riddle, at present minister to Roumania and Servla. # Washington, Dec. 8.—By a practi­ cally unanimous vote the house Fri­ day .passed the bill-limiting the regu latlon of the interstate commerce be tween the several states in articles manufactured by convict labor or In any prison or reformatory. The bill was Introduced by Mr. Hunt' (Mo.), a practical stone mason. Under the Wilson bill, which became a law In 1890, convict-labor made goods may enter Into active competi­ tion with the goods manufactured by "free labor." and under this federal law a state could not pass a law that would prevent the shipping Into the state of prison-made goods of other states. The law which was ■ passed Friday abrogates the interstate com­ merce law as at present applied to convict-made goods, thereby affording to the different states and territories the right to inhibit the shipping of convict-made goods within the con­ fines of any state or territory. Asks About Negro Troops. Washington, Dec. 7.—The senate Thursday adopted the Penr-’?e resolu­ tion requesting the president to send it information regarding the. discharge of the negro troops of the Twenty­ fifth Infantry, and also t^he Foraker resolution directing the secretary of war to transmit all information in the possession of his department on the same subject Both resolutions car­ ried an identical amendment by Mr. Culberson asking specifically foi* the order of Maj. Penrose, commanding the troops, which directed him not to turn over to the Texas authorities certain of,the troops demanded. This action followed a debate of two hours, and was taken without a roll call or opposing vote. Pilotage Bill Beaten. The Littlefield pilotage bill to re­ move discrimination against Ameri­ can sailing vessels in the coasting trade was defeated in the house Thursday, 110 to 164. Mr. Humphrey (Wash.) supported the bill. Mr. Mann (Ill.) asked If the bill was not selfish to a degree and Mr. Humphrey replied it was selfish In favor of Amer­ ican vessels, and that the middle west seemed to want no legislation except that which affects the'cornfields. Mr. Sherley (Ky.) said the bill was drawn in the interest of tbe north Atlantic ports, and to the hurtfulness of the pilotage business of southern ports Wreck of Steamship Monarch. Fort William.

I made, up the fire, and sat down and reread tho newspaper.’ There was much In it about, the ap­ proaching feast. I had the illustrated papers. They had issued Christmas supplements, with pictures of happy family gatherings, of Old Father Christmas, of waits and carol singers. I might perhaps hear the waits and singers. I ,’should certainly bear .the Christmas bells. That would be all. I had done with my papers. I sat before tbe fire In a brown study, and my spirits sank lower and ever low­ er. I recalled the old Christmases I had jpefit at home with my parents. I remembered how I had looked into my stockings on tbe morning to see If Old ' Father Christmas bad visited me in the night and had left there some presents for the Good Boy. Alas! No Father Christmas would visit me now. All that was ot thepast—tbe utterly and irrevocably past. - ’ I did not light my candles. 1 could read no mpre.

As I hesitated, the child said: “Please—Annie told us to ask you." And then I saw the tall girl whom I had' assisted draw back into the dark behind them. “Most certainly I will, as you are so kind as to invite me.” So I descended, and there were my landlord and landlady, radiant with happiness, and the five children danced before me and said: “He Is come; Is it not nice!” Behind, pres­ ently, entered Annie, somewhat shy­ ly, and pretending she had come from the kitchen. I was witness of the delight of the little ones over their presents—the woolly lamb, a small cart, a cannon, a doll—the father over a pair of warm stockings of Annie’s knitting, tbe mother over a shawl, also of her work; and 1 stood smiling and happy. I had done well In the other land, and bad returned, not. a rich man. but with a competence. It had been my wish, my ambition, to settle in the village about which clung all my sweetest and holiest thoughts; to buy there a little land, to treid the old paths, ramble in the same woods, look upon the same scenes, dwell among the same people, re-make a home in the same place. But now—? Could It be? As I walked back to my lodgings, through the street and by the market place, folk were hurrying In all direc­ tions, some with bunches of holly In their hands, a girl or two with a sprig of mistletoe slyly hid In her muff, a man wheeling a Christmas tree on a barrow, butchers’ boys carrying Joints for the morrow's dinner. Plum pud­ dings and mince pies were displayed in the confectioners' shops. The chemist, the hairdresser, the seeds­ man. the draper had stuffed their win­ dows with toys, toys, toys. who had come to earth as a little child had filled every heart with thought of the little ones, and desire to make Christmas a day of joy to them. I had no tiny ones of my own no little nieces and nephews, no small cousins for whom to provide anything. I was alone-Aitterly. desolately alone. Ac I pursued my way I saw a tall, slim girl walking before me with a basket on her arm, and I noticed that the bottom had come out, and that the contents fell on the pavement. Of this she was unaware. I stooped and picked up a 'little woolly lamb, then—a something wrapped in papes —then a silver match box breaking out of its covering. Gathering them together, I ran after the girl and stopped her. "Excuse me," said I. “Are you a female Hop o' my Thumb, dropping tokens whereby your track my be known?" I Saw the Tall Girl. I showed her what I had collected. She colored and thanked me.

STATE SAVINGS BANK BUYS NEW ALARM SYSTEM. In looking about for more ample protection Against the wily "safe­ crack era” who have been so busy of late, tbe officers and directors of our local bank came upon what is known among bankers as tbe Double Electric­ al System of vault protection. Mr. C. D O’Kieffe of Lansing, who represents the American Bank Protection Co., spent part of the past week in town consulting with tbe principal men of tbe above banK relative to installing a complete system in their vault. After going over the matter very care­ fully and putting a complete model of the system thru all sorts of tests, the board unanimously voted to make tbe purchase. It will tie built at once and will, most likely be in operation be­ fore thirty days Lave passed. Just as soon as the system is installed tbe citizens of Nashville and its environs will be invited to visit the bank and see it work on the inside of the vault. The principle upon which the new alarm works is based upon tbe appli­ cation of Static electricity. The en­ tire Inside of the bank vault will be lined with a double plate of steel. This steel will be kept charged with electricity all tbe time and any attempt to enter the vault from any direction at night will set into operation a series of five Immense fire-alarm gongs, the noise of which will spread all over town. These gongs will keep on pounding away until the banker gets up, dresses and comes down to tbe bank, opens up bis vault and stope the racket from the switch-board back in the corner. Cashier McQulstion, in speaking of ibis advance step on the part of bis Institution says;—‘'All of our men are agreed on the point that our patrons are entitled to all the protection for their money and valu­ able papers that the market affords. and in purchasing this electrical system we feel that we have gone to tbe limit. Of course we have always carried insurance upon our cash and will continue to do so, but we don’t care to have our valuable naptrs, records, etc blown to pieces or carried away by the craksman ” Although this system or something along the -line Is being almost universally adopted by bankers over the Country, it speaks well for the spirit of our local people, inasmuch as this will be tbe first bank in this vicinity to install absolute protection against burglary. It wlH be a friendly race between our own State Savings Bank and tbe Hastings City Bank as to which one will show up their new device to tho public first, as one bought one day and the other the next. . �MORTGAGE SALE.

They are income and inheritance taxes. Tbe individual whose Income is much above the average and is required to give up a percentage of itto help pay the neces­ sary expenses of government, either local, state, or national, may feel lhe burden of its bin by no possible means, thru competition or otherwise, can he . shift tbe burden onto productive In­ dustry.. He may be farced to econo­ mize personally to the extent of the tax, but be alone will feel It. In the case of inheritance taxes it is simply a question of diverting a portion of tbe property left by deceased persons or other legatees to the uses of the government. President Roosevelt will favor an income lax in his message; and if it is not possible to devise a law levying a graduated tax upon in­ comes under the Constitution as It now stands, the Constitution should be amended. The best way to build up a city is for each and every man In it not to strive to rend and tear down. When­ ever a man in the town is doing well do not try to. tear him down. All the residents of a town are partners, not opponents. In all likelihood the"more business done by your rival the more you *111 do Every gentleman who treats his.customers honestly, courte­ ously and fairly, will get hls share, and the more business that can be se­ cured by united effort the better it will be for all. When a town ceases to grow ft commences to die, and the more the people try to kill off each other In their business ana good name the more rapidly will’ utter ruin come to all. Stand together for tbe ad­ vancement of every citizen. If a man shows ability tj prosper do not pull him back with jealousy or weigh him down with cold indi'fference.

When the yule-tide casts upon us a spell of foreboding or leaves a legacy of importunate creditors. It has been robbed of its finest essence and defrauded of its noblest meaning. It is our misfortune that we cannot divest ourselves of n feeling that to make the home happy we must spend too much money for our mental com­ fort. Never was there a greater mis­ take. Pleasure in the household de­ pends on simplicity far more than we think. Children often turn away from the playthings that have cost a goodly sum In .dollars and cents, and find their delight In something cheap which they may use at their pleasure. The costly doll imported from Paris ini dressed in the height of the fash­ ion is shown with pride by its owner to her little friends, but it Is not the doll which gives most satisfaction. It is not the doll that the child plays with. Very likely her mother con­ siders it too fine to bo spoiled and puts It away in the closet except on state occasions. A doll on the closet shelf may be a marvel of elegance, but It brings no particular gratifica­ tion to the child who seldom sees IL Our yule-tldd should be full of warmth and cheer, our extra money should be spent on plenty of light and an open fire, and there should be good times at home, the best times then In all the year. The beneficent spell of the yule­ tide has most of heaven in It when we remember our poorer neighbors and our lonelier friends. There are people known to us al! who will be made very happy by so simple a thing at Christmas-tide as a letter. For in­ stance, there is the seamstress who worked for you 20 years ago and who is ending her days In an old ladles' home. She has nobody of her own left to visit her and one day passes just like another.

The community was surprised Fri­ day to hear of the death, at his home at Benton Harbor, of Bert Niles, formerly of this place. His death was very sudden, and the state papers were filled for several days with Sensation­ al stories in regard to it, suicide or foul play being intimated. 'That there was absolutely no grounds for such in­ timation will be seen by reading the letter appended hereto from his family physician, Dr. C. M, Sowers. Niles went from Nashville to- Bentos Harbor aliout a year ago, prior to which time he had always made Nash­ ville his home. He was the only son of Thomas Niles, for many years a resident of Nashville, and was well known here and in Maple Grove. The body was brought here Satur­ day evening, accompahied by the bereaved wife and the aged grand­ mother. Mrs. Hess, who left Nashville with Mr. and Mrs. Niles when they moved to Benton Harbor. The funeral was held Sunday morning from the Methodist church, and the remains were interred in Lakeview cemetery, the services being conducted by Rev. Wilson of Charlotte. La Barge Completed and Good Service Being Given. The Thornapple Electric Company have completed the improvements to their dam at LaBarge and at Hist are giving service that is surely more sutisfaetpry to its patrons. The current has never been exactly satisfactory and for the past few months has been decidedly bad, no doubt caused by .the inefficiency of the power. How­ ever a new wheel has been placed at the dam which now gives the plant two wheels and plenty of power. The lights now are different and from tin* red-hot iron in a tattle have blos­ somed out into a bottleful of bright light which proves a great revelation. The.bad service given the past few weeks has driven many to discard the electric juice for lighting purposes and various kinds of artificial light­ ing plants have been established. Many have dwelt in hopes that sooner or later the company would improve the service and the latter are now re­ warded for their patience. The Elec­ tric company have spent many thousands of dollars in the improve­ ments just completed and feel now that they have a plant that will cope with the growing demand for electric •‘juice’’ for years to come.

Rotten in the Game Several -weeks ago warrants were issued for Joel Demond and Irving Mape-,. on a charge of violation of the state game and fish laws. It was charged that Demond and Mapes were netting fish in Thornapple lake. The warrants were issued on complaint of Chief Deputy Game Warden Hoyt of Grand Haven, wfio'tpld the prosecut­ ing attorney that he wanted to be present at the trial of the case himself.

Mapes skipped before the warrants were issued, but Demond was arrested Yours to please, and taken before Justice Bishop at Hastings, where he gave bonds to appear for trial. On the date set for the hearing Hoyt failed to show up and the case was continued. On the adjourned day Hoyt agaid failed to appear and the case was dismissed. Later Hoyt had a new warrant issued P.

There are four reliable witnesses who. can be secured to testify to the fact that Demond and Mapes were running a net in Thornapple lake on the date charged. All were eye witnesses of the transaction. If that is not suffi­ cient evidence to convict a man, then Michigan might as well drop the game and fish warden department and its attendant expenses, for they will rarely lie able to secure a conviction. A reputable citizen of Nashville was fined 930 recently for netting white­ fish or sisco in a Barry county lake. Sisco are not a game fish and can be taken in no way except by nets, yet this man was heavily fined for the offense, while such* a man as Demond, who is an habitual violator of the law, who nets pike, bass, muskelonge and other game fish and sells them, is allowed to go 'scott free, with all the necessary evidence secured and placed in the hapds of.'ihe proper bmbials. It is enough to disgust every decent fisherman in tbe state. . At the age of eighteen years she be­ came converted and joined -the Meth­ Odist Episcopal church at South Boston.

The forenoon was spent in cards and visiting. At noon a bountiful dinner was served by Nashville hive. In the afternoon lodge work was taken up and a class of five ladies was initiated in the order.

A new order has been promulgated by the postoffice department which es­ tablishes a uniform rate fop postoffice box rents in offices of similar class all over the country. The new order es- . tablishes the rates at the Nashville i office at 20 cents per quarter for call boxes, 45 cents per quarter for lock boxes, and 00 cents per quarter for I the large drawers. Many people la­ bor under the erroneous impression I that all or a portion of the revenue* f from the*er.t of boxes go to the post- ‘ master? and- that the rates are fixed by Kim.

"By Jove, I’ll soon find out! Come on! There's hope yet.” . This tim^ we reached the stone steps without interference. I gave the candle to the girl, cautiously put a shoulder against ono of the doors, and gave a gentle heave. It was not locked. TMYough the thin crack I looked out upon the bright world of moonshine and crystal. Instantly I permitted the door to settle into Its accustomed place. I readily under­ stood' the burglar’s reasons.

"They will say. we have already dis­ posed of them.” "Btit the real burglar—" "They will say that he came into the cellar at our bidding.” This girl was terribly reasonable and direct. "Hang it! I know Teddy Hamilton, the M. F. H. He'll go my ball, .and yours, too, for that matter. Come, let's not give up. There must be some other way out.” "I wish I might believe IL Why did I come?"—a bit of a wail stealing into the anger In her voice. "This is Tom Fool’s Night, and no mistake.” I assented ruefully. ' "But 1 am a bigger fool than you are; I had an alibi, and a good one." “An alibi? Why on earth, then, did you follow me? What is your alibi?" “Never mind npw. We should still be in this miserable cellar,"—briefly. What a'night! A am so ashamed! I shall be horribly compromised.” "1'11 take the brunt of It all.

Thera wasn't a sin­ gle jest left In my whole system, and It didn’t look as If there was ever going to be another supply. We took the other side of the furnace, and at length came to a, flight of wooden stairs, leading somewhere into tbe club. It was our last chance, or we should be obliged to stay all night in some bin; for it would not be long be­ fore they searched tbe cellars. If this flight led into .he kitchen, we were saved, for I could bluff the serv­ ants. We paused. Presently we as­ cended. side by side, with light but flrm step. We reached the landing in front of the door without mishap. From somewhere came a puff of air which blew out ths candle.

The mysterious stran­ ger I had met In the curio-shop, the fellow who had virtually haunted me for six hours, the fellow who had mas­ queraded as Caesar, suddenly loomed up before me, still wearing his sardon­ ic smile. At his side were two more policemen. He had thrown aside his toga and was in evening dress. His keen glance rested on me. "Here he Is, Mr. Haggortty!” cried the policeman cheerfully, swinging me around. . A detective! And Heaven help me. he believed me to be the thief!? Oh, for Aladdin’s lamp! CHAPTER VI. I stood with folded arms, awaiting his approach. Nonchalance is always respected by tie police. I must have presented a likely picture, however— my face blackened with coaldust, cob­ webs stringing down over my eyes, my Capuchin gown soiled and rent The girl quietly took her place beside "So you took a chance at the cel­ lars. eh?" inquired the detective Ur­ banely. "Well you look It. Will you go with us quietly, or sly»ll we have to use force?" "In the first place, what do you and your police want of me?" ,1 returned coolly. x He exhibited his star of authority. "I am Haggerty of the Central Of­ fice. I want you for several things."

"What is it you think I have done' 1 demanded. "You have, or have had, several thousand, dollars* worth of gems on your person to-night.” I shrugged. • The accusation was so impossible that my confidence re turned.

FROM POISONOUS RHEUMATISM The Disease Has Its Dangers— Should Be Takeo in Time Rheumatism has long lx-cn regarded as a trouble which, while it might be painful, was not necessarily dangerous. Very few persons, it was thought, ever died from Rheumatism. Pick up a pa­ per to-day, and yon will see that the majority of sudden deaths are due to some form of neglected Rheumatism. Rheumatism of the heart, neuralgia of the heart, paralysis and poisonous Rheumatic acid are among the moat dangerous forms of the disease. If Rheumatic acid poison is allowed to stay in the system, sudden death can scarcely be averted. There is but one cure for Rheumatism, and that is Smith's Specific Uric-O. No other Rheumatic remedy can possibly do as much for the disease. Uric-O is a posi­ tive cure for Lumbago, Muscular and Articular Rheumatism. It will cure Sciatica and Rheumatic Kidney trouble in the moat pleasing manner. Uric-O costa 81.00 per bottle, and can be sup­ plied by your Druggist.

Charged with conspiracy in connection with the Chicago teamsters’ strike eight­ een mouths ago', Shea is now con­ fronted by one of his own confed­ erates, Albert Young, who, certain of punishment for participation in the crime, testified to the division of a $1,500 graft fund jh a saloon be­ tween Cornelius Shea, James Barry, Hugh McGee,.Jerry McCarthy and Young. The. testimony tells in de­ tail how the money was divided and how Shea exclaimed,- “To hell with the laws of the teamster's union!” The money was-contributed by one mail order house to induce-Shea and his associates in crime to- call a strike on a competitor. ward. They spend more than they earn for such things And are eter­ nally in debt; steering clear of creditors and inventing excuses takes from them certain energy they should have to expend upon the carving of their careers. Young man, if you’re in debt, get out; you never felt so good as when you were no man’s slave, and when you’re al­ ways paying for ar “dead horse” you’re always someone’s slave. The merchants will like you better if you don’t buy so much but pay for what you buy. Don’t borrow money of your friends; they won’t be your friends long if you do, and no man has friends to throw away. The writer knows of a young man who borrowed a certain amount of money —we’ll say five dollars—of a friend who was visiting him. He promised failed to do so, whereupon the man wrote him, thinking he had forgot­ ten it; but he hadn’t, he had been hard up but would surely send it on a certain date. The date arrived but no money came. The lender decided he was buncoed and also de­ cided his kindness was buncoed and his confidence in his friend blasted. This is an illustration, although not drawn from fancy, of what the re­ sult of this bad practice is. It is a direct descendent of going beyond your means and is the cause of the downfall of many promising careers. And the real Christmas spirit goes farther than your own immedi­ ate family, too. If you don’t- be­ lieve it, try a few of your filthy dollars among your needy acquaint­ ances. It will give yod a feeling you have been a stranger to for years, and it’s worth the money, too. Then, on the other hand, when the good old electric juice is work­ ing all right, it don’t make such a bad light, does it? Wouldn’t wonder if the night­ watch would be kept pretty busy when it comes nice warm evenings in the spring. y „ SCHOOL MATTERS.

The club sang “America.” Nellie Prescott’s recitation was yery pleasing and well rendered. Little Albert Olmstead gave a reci­ tation about bis mother joining the club and he wished his father would j oin too. Tha little children sang a very nice piece-about Santy Claus. The report of the delegates to the state melting was very Interesting and also very encouraging. The organiza lion has gained rapidly in tbe past • yearEdith Kenyon recited a very touch­ ing piece entitled “When the Evening Shadows Fall.” The violin and organ duet by Dick and Eva Kent was a Coe selection and second they were called back for number. Tbe anthem by the young people was good. < “A Woman at the Bottom of IL” was nicely spoken by Hazel Olmstead. The song, “Will the Angels Let Me Play?” sung by Nellie Prescott and Grace Tasker was very sweet. Eva Burgees also sang a fine selection. Robert Hartom recited a tale about Santa Claus, in his own manly way. ' This program, given by the young people of tbe club, was very fine and needed to be beard to be appreciated. One and all deserve praise, and we hope they may entertain the club again A Groat Outside Remedy. Most pains are of local origin—a “crick” in tbe back, a twinge of rhe­ umatism, a soreness all over arising frbm a cold—are all cured by ouuide applications. The quickest, safest and most certain method is Allcock’s Plaster, known the world over as a universal remedy for pain. They never fail, they act promptly, they are clean and cheap. You can go right ahead with your work while tbe heal­ ing process goes on. Sixty years’ use has given them a great reputation. Notice.

NOW To fed that boy’s arm you would think he was apprenticed to a klarlrmvlk all, conscience from the point of view of the Innertier inhabitants. Consequently the entire row ot third-story, "flat­ ters resented the uppishness evi­ dent in Mrs. BelSnyder's purchase of a wide bamboo p OjF c h curtain. This, the Smiths and the SchmlUes and the Rosenhelms decided on Its delivery must be meant to shut off the Belsynders from the neigh­ borly ylew of the summer evening aggregation , on the Altrurla porches. Therefore when Belsnyder mount­ ed the janitor’s stepladder that IK THIS '*C'« • FIVE NAILS. toward the other three porches to the north, he felt himself an interesting object to his neighbors.'Belsnyder is a modest man, as well as one to whom mechanics generally and cheap wooden rollers specifically are chaos. “Won’t tbe janitor do this to-morrow If *'» pay him?" he muttered to Mrs. Belsnyder, who was standing helpful­ ly below with an infinitesimal hammer, in her hand and a few nails. "Walter." said Mrs. Belsnyder. "when I’m doing my own work this summer so as’to save up for that an­ tique Chlppcqdale for the dining room, to pay anything for this llttler-” "You’ve given me the- wrong end."

Tn> afraid of nothing," said Bel­ snyder, sternly. “Give me the ham­ mer." After an hour of effort the Belqpyders. retired to uncomfortable privacy behind their porch curtain. But the next evening after dinner when Mrs. Belsnyder attempted to roll down the curtain one side slipped swiftly down while the other clung af­ fectionately to the roof beam. She called loudly for her husband, while her neighbors smiled, and she resent­ ed a deep frown when ne Anally ap­ peared. "Don't make an exhibition of ydurself," she said, sharply. “I know the neighbors are laughing, but we must make this curtain work.” "It's is too windy.” Belsnyder said, his voice carrying over to bis neigh­ bors. “No, I don’t want that con­ demned hammer. Get me my knife —this groove's not cut deep enough." He whittled and rolled down and up and down for half an hour. Then after sitting still another h o u hour, w a t c h 1 ng their curtain sail merrily up against the porch roof in the teeth of the young lake gale, he jerked up-the curtain, to the sound ested Mrs. smiled In a su­ perior way. ”1’11 Ax it to-morrow,” she said, largely.

"Walter!" screamed his wife. “Why, you stumbled on the staples I put In the floor'to hold that curtain down.” Belsnyder made one unreserved, shameless comment. Then he yelled across to the janitor, -who was empty­ ing the garbage can* next door. In full hearing of the Smiths and the Schmltzes and the Rosenheims he gave certain definite orders, which were carried out witbin 15 minutes, tbe time stipulated.

"Haggerty has evidently got us all balled up. I don’t believe bls fashion­ able thief has materialized at all; just, a common crook. Well, he'* got him, at any rate, and the gems." “You have, of course, the general invitation?” -said Hamilton. "Here Is It,"—and she passed the engraved card to him. "I beg a thousand pardons!.” said Hamilton humbly. "Everything seems to have gone wrong.". . "Will you guarantee this man?” asked the chief of Hamilton, nodding toward me. . . “I. have said so. Mr. Cornstalk is very well known to me. He is a re­ tired army officer, and to my knowl­ edge a man with an Income sufficient to put him far beyound want" "What is your name?" asked the chief ot the girl, scowling. It was quite evident he couldn’t understand her actions any better than I. * "Alice Hawthorne," with an oblique glance at me. I had been right! “What is your occupation? I am obliged to ask'these questions. Miss.” "I am a miniature painter,’;—briefly. Hamilton came forward. "Alice Hawthorne? Pardon me, but are you the artist who recently completed the miniature of the Emperor of Germany, the Princess of Hesse, and Mrs. Hy­ phen-Bonds?" "I am. I believe there Is no fur­ ther reason for detaining me." "Emperor of Germany?” echoed the now bewildered chief. "Why didn't you tell all this to Mr. Haggerty?" "I had my reasens.” Once again the door opened. A bur­ ly man In a dark business-suit entered. His face was ruddy and his little grey eyes sparkled with suppressed Ire. He reminded me of Vautrin, the only dlf-1 Terence being that Vautrin was French while this man was distinctly Irish. His massive shoulders betrayed tre­ mendous strength. He was vastly an­ gry about something. He went to the chief's desk and rested his hands upon IL t “You are a nice specimen for a chief of police, you are!” he began. "And who the devil Are you?" bawled the chief, his choler rising. "I'll tel! you who I am presently." We nil eyed him in wonder. What was going to happen now? "Which of you gentlemen Is Mr. Hamilton?” asked the new-comer gruffly. Hamilton signified that he was the .1 gentleman by that name. "Some ladles at your ball have been . robbed of their diamonds I under­ stand?" , - ’ "About ten thousands dollars’ worth." "Look here, sir." cried the chief, standing up and bailing his fist. “I want you to explain yourself, and mighty quick. You can't come into my presence in this manner." “Bah! You have just permitted the cleverest rascal in the state to slip through your butter-fingers. I am Hag­ gerty," . The chief of police sat down sud­ denly. CHAPTER VII. • The consummate daring of it! Why the rascal ought to have been in com­ mand of an army. On the Board of Strategy be would have been incom­ parable! ’ There followed a tableau that I shall not soon forget. We all stared at the real Haggerty much after the fashion of Medusa's victims. Present­ ly the . tenslqn relaxed, and we all sighed. I sighed because the thought of Jail for tbe night in a dress-suit dwindled hi perspective; ' the girl sighed for the same reason and one or two other things: the chief of the vil­ lage police and his officers sighed be­ cause darkness had suddenly swooped down on them; and Hamilton sighed because there were no gems. Hag­ gerty was the one among us who didn’t sigh. He scowled blackly. This big athlete looked like a de­ tective, and the abrupt 'authority of bls tones convinced me that he was. Haggerty was celebrated in the annals of police affairs; he bad- handled all sorts of criminals, from titled im­ postors down to. petty thieves. He was nnt a man to trifle with, mentally or physically, and for this reason we, were all shaking in our boots. He owned to a keen but brutal wit; to him there was no such thlng_jss sex among criminate, and he had the te­ nacity of purpose that has given the bulldog considerably note in the pit But it was quite plain that for once he had met his match. "I don't see how you can blame me," mumbled the chief. "None of us was familiar with your looks, and he showed us his star of authority, and went to work in a business-like way— By George! and he has run away with my horse and carriage!"—starting from his chair. “Never mind the horse.

HE times were flush; there had been good crops, and an abundant harvest had been gathered and stored away. The people on old Lick creek. In Ralls- coun­ ty. Mo., were happy and. eager-to enjoy themselves. Tho coun­ try was sparsely settled, and there was little tb be had that was good to . eat or drink nearer than tbe town of Florida, on Salt river, where Squire Clemens, the lather of Mark Twain, . kept a store. They danced all night under the -hospitable roof where sat old Uncle Rhuebln Reddish, Aunt Lou extend­ ing them a warm welcome; then they went home with Rube Purvis to eat bear meat, and from there to Uncle Harry’s and Aunt Edy'3. where veni­ son was broiling and bee gums had been robbed. , Christmas eve day was bright and pretty. The sun broke through n rift of clouds and the revelers wore fairly Intoxicated with Joy. They intended to spend the night and Christmas, day at tbe Widow Mackelroy’s, where there was plenty of room and an abun­ dance of good things to eat and drink. The Widow. Mackelroy was with the c'rowd. She had left Uncle Ned and Aunt Polly to look after her house, telling them that if they wont away to close the dpors. The faithful old -servants were not liable to go farther than some cabins occupied by colored people, and the widow knew that they would answer the summons of the ranch bell. Though it was Christmas'time she never dreamed that tho negroes would leave the place. Old Ned and Aunt Polly did leave the house, and a big black bear must have been watching them when they ■walked away. He had doubtless scent­ ed the odor of a Christmas feast It was easy for bruin to smash one of the kitchen windows and enter the apartment unmolested. After feasting upon such things as had not been se­ curely hidden away. <he bear probably prowled through the house until his I curiosity was satisfied, and then, find­ ing a dark corner under the stairway in the hall, he laid down and closed his eyes to pleasant dreams. This audacity was the result of careless training on the part of one James Irvin, an old bachelor of tho vicinity, wbo had made a pet of this same bear. Bolivar, as the bear was called, frequently answered the call of the wild. In his youth Bolivar was an Interesting pet. He was ca.able of performing many tricks, and he was ' an accomplished wrestler. The crowd of Christmas ramblers reached the Widow Mackelroy’s house about dark on Christmaa eve. The lively young widow led the way to unlock doors, and the boys and girls followed, snowballing and singing Christmas carols. The widow was in the act of making some interesting discoveries In the kitchen, and a dozen couples of dancers were moving over the parlor floor in harmony with music that was loud and fast, when shrieks and screams echoed through the rooms, and those wbo were able to command tbeir senses saw a monster black bear entering the parlor on his hind feqt and swinging his forelegs Invitingly, as if seeking a partner for a waits. The ballroom instantly presented abcene of the wildest excitement. Boys and girls who were near windows lost no time in making their escape. The bear cut off the retreat of a consider­ able crowd and hemmed them in a cor­ ner of the room. Bolivar pranced In front of these, licking froth from his r(ri ups and glaring Into the faces of the screaming girls as If he were try­ ing to aelect a dainty one for hie Christmas supper. George Ely. a young mon who was proud of his strength and bls aMHty to hit hard blows, ran forward and struck the bear on the side of the head. Bolivar shook bls ear as if he were tickled, and turning about, he selxed the aniaxod young man *ith bls powerful paws and drew him to his breast The bear was becoming angry, and he would soon have crushed every rib in George’s body If the youth's sweet­ heart had not come to his;,rescue. Mary Goodwin had been dapclng with George Ely and when the bear entered the room the thoughtful girl ran to the fireplace and seized an iron poker. It proved, a good "weapon. It was an Iron bar about four feel In length, and It. had been In use so long that one end had worn to a sharp point. Its effectiveness had been Im­ proved by a young man who had stuck tho sharp end In the fire for the pur­ pose of using It to take the chill from a pitcher of hard cider. When Mary Goodwin saw her lov­ er's face distorted with pain as he struggled to get loose from the mad bear’s powerful arms she ran to his assistance, “Help! For God's sake, help me, boys!" shouted George. The bear was trying to fasten his teeth in his victim’s throat, when the brave girl thrust the red-hot point of. the iron bar behind the monster’s fore­ shoulder and threw her whole weight upon It. The sharp point slipped be­ tween the bear’s ribs and entered his heart. With an angry growl Bolivar sank in a heap upon the ballroom floor, and George Ely staggered away, to .fall, gasping for breath. In the arms of his quick-witted, fearless sweetheart. Bolivar was barbecued on Christ­ mas day, 1854. During those same holidays George and Mary were mar­ ried. , | Bits from the Trees J EpV*-"—'V'-*— Hence the Mistletoe.'

MOTHER’S CHRISTMAS By SUSAN HUBBARD MARTIN There were three girls of them, all merry, light-hearted and thoughtless, but this evening a new seriousness $was upon them. For one thing, moth­ er had gone to bed with a sharp neu­ ralgic attack that somehow was be­ coming, of late, a too frequent occur­ rence. Another was ih^t father had Just given them their Christmas al­ lowance. for it was the 1 Sth.of Novembef, and they had already begun • to plan for the great day, "Giris,” he had said, as he handed each one a crisp $10 bill, "this your you must really make this do. Don't spend.lt and expect more, for it vylil not be forthcoming. Times are hard, money not easy, to get and necessary expenses must be met, so remember that while we all love Christmas, as indeed we ought, yet we are not ex­ pected to give more than we are able. ’Peace on earth, good will to men.' means more than a mad rush at bar­ gain counters, when one endeavors to make $10 do the work of $25. He had put on his overcoat and gon.e out. and Mag, Joyce and Fan sat and looked' at one another. “I've simply got to give Bess a more expensive present than 1 did last year," said Mag. gloomily, gazing at the fire. "Just Imagine my humilia­ tion Christmas day when she sent tne that beautiful watch fob. and all I had given her was a little picture In a plain oak frame. I blush now at the thought of IL” "Don't say a worjl," broke in - Fan. tragically. "I suffer mortification of the spirit a hundred times when I think of the little I can give. Ten dol­ lars and 27 friends and relations to make presents to,” Joyce looked up. Joyce was the mother," she whispered, "how white her cheeks are, and her hands, too. bow thin. I wish I mliht kiss .them. I'm glad she's gone to sleep. Per­ haps when,.she wakes the pain will be gone.” She turned to go away, but a pair cf slippers anting .side by side at the foot of the .bed .arrested her. She stooped and picked one up, stroking It softly. Joyce was always the affec­ tionate one ot the family. Then she looked at IL Tho sole was pitifully thin, and there was a little break in one side. Mother's wrapper lay care­ fully folded over the back of a chair, where she had put it. even in her pain. Joyce looked at It also. The sleeves had been patched, the' collar mended. •Joyce remembered with a sudden pang it was the best one mother had.. She swept the wrapper off the chair and took up the little worn slippers, then she went down Into the sitting­ room. Mag and Fan were still there. “Giris,'' cried Joyce, dramatically, holding up the old wrapper, "do you think we girls ought to make Christ­ mas presents when our mother has to wear clothes like this? See how she’s patched the sleeves, and the collar, too, and Just look at these slippers!” Fan wiped a tear away: so did Mag. Joyce's eyes were already full. "If we don't take better care of mother, perhaps we won’t have her very long," said Joyce, solemnly. “Girls," she added, "letTn do some­ thing. Say we put five dollars out of our ten away for ber, and fix up her things. I ,will, anyway. I'm going to get her a handsome pair of Juliets all trimmed In black fur, and stuff enough to make her a pretty dressing sacque.

Use­ less and Impossible articles, too, most of ’em are, but we poor misguided mortals will take 'em just because they’re marked down from 11.15 to 49 cents. The facts in our case are these, father’s poor, he works hard, and mother isn’t well. I say it’s time to stop. I shall simply tell Bell (and wbo has a dearer friend than she is, I’d like to know) that all I can give ber is a set of mats for her dressing Uble. 1’11 make 'em as pretty m I can, and there’ll be lots ot love to go with ’em, but there I’ll stop." ••But she’ll give you something handsome.'* put in Mag. "Can’t help it,” replied Joyce, “her father's rich and mine isn't. If she thinks any the less of me for It, why she’ll have to do it. Last year we spent' all we had and didn't have one ceat left to remember mother with, and 1 went up to the attic Christman afternoon and cried about it That -reminds me. I’m going up to see how Joyce crept softly into her mother's room. The light was turned down low. The figure on the bed did not lUr. Joyce slipped over and looked down M the pale sleeper. "Darling Mag sprang up. "Yes, I will, Joyce,” she cried, "and I will give $5 too. I never realized that mother was wear­ ing .iulte as poor clothes as these.” "1’11 give five,” said Fan, slowly. "We haven't money enough to go round anyway. Let us be brave and tell our friends so. Perhaps in the end they’ll thank us for it.” When mother came downstairs that Christmas morning, she gave a start of surprise. A gay little wreath of holly hung by the window. Attached to It was a large white card which bore these words: "MOTHER’S CHRISTMAS. May She Have Many of Them.” A pretty brown wrapper with velvet collar and cuffs hung over the back of her favorite chair. A dainty pair of house shoes lay beside it, trimmed In black fur. Near them was a dress­ ing sacque, soft and warm, of some gray material finished off by a touch of scarlet and a bow of ribbon. A shoulder shawl of white and blue hung over one arm of the chair. Two pairs ot kid gloves lay across it. On the sofa was a handsome comforter of pink silkallne artistically knotted with blue. This was Fan's gift, and bad been bought with a portion of her money and made over at Aunt Rachel's so there could be no danger of detection. There were aprons, too. and handkerchiefs sheer and fine. Father bad given these. Mother stood still, then seeing tne new ex preftlop In her children's faces, she took a step forward. “Praise the Lord,” she sang In her heart but aloud she could only say: “My blessed, blessed girls.” as she gathered them each one into her tender and loving arms.—Ram's Hom.
