The rec­ ord of this company which bad Its birth in Barry and Eaton counties in 1885, is well known to our readers, but so phenomenal Is such record that we refer to It briefly at this time. The by-laws provide that the annual meet­ ing of the company shall be held at Hastings. 1 It was largely due to Mr. D. W. Rogers of this city, who was then sec­ retary, as now, of the Barry and Eaton Farmers* Mutual. Mr. Rogers bad al­ ready secured the passage of a bill allowing the organization of mutual companies for cyclone insurance and it naturally followed that the four prin­ cipal officers of the Barry and Eaton at that time should be made the four principal officers of the cyclone com­ pany.

The preceding year the number was 715. The number of women exceeding by only two that of the previous year, and the increase in the number of men last year being 426, the ratio of women to men in the university was less by two per cent.; eighteen per cent in 1903-4 as against twenty per cent in 1902- 3. The attendance of women- in the professional scarcely changes. In the literary department the ratio in 1903- 4 was four and nine-tenths per cent; in 1903-4 was five and two-tenths per cent. The change In the ratio of the sexes in tae university is due mainto the rapid growth of the engineering department, in which do women are enrolled. Judging fro A the statistics of attendance for the last few years, the Indications seem to be that the propor­ tion of women to men in the literary department is not likely to increase, while In the entire university it is like­ ly to diminish. ' A Hastings Man in the Far West. W. H. Olney of this city has just re­ ceived word from his friend and former partner in the livestock business, Harvey C. Williams, formerly of this county and well known in this city, of the great improvement in his health since he went to tbe far west. He Is now located at Monrovia, Californio and his friends will be interested In the following article taken from the Monrovia Messenger of Dec. 30. N. C. Williams, of Hastings, Mich, who recently purchased of A. W. Parks through Blythe & Willits, lots seven, eight and nine and tbe modern five room cottage thereon, in block E, Spence addition, is loud in praise of the "Gem City.” For over twenty years Mr. Williams has suffered con­ stantly from asthma, and tried inumeruble "cures” and the various places in tbe east and south recommended as possessing a favorable climate. Any relief obtained was but temporary, and be gr^|Bally became so weakened that bls life was despaired of, but he de­ termined to make one more change, and, in spite of the dismal prophecies of his friends, set out for California. He arrived in Los Angeles seven weeks ago. The climate there not proving beneficial be went to Pasadena. He benefited by the change, but there was still much to be desired.

Editor and Proprietor. Some Good Suggestions. n I 19' - Il I © Ml j The siele teachers' asweiatlon Fused two resolution, at Its l.to meet­ ing in favor 0, advancing the u.elulneea and dignity of tbe department ot public instruction that should com­ mend themselves to tho friends ot our public school system. Ono recom­ mendation was that the time ot elect­ ing the state superintendent and mem. hers of tbe state board ot education be changed from the fall to tho spring election, the purpose being ot course to lessen partisan influence in select­ ing these officers. The change recommended would not result in the entire elimination of poli­ tics, which would be the ideal condi­ tion, but it would make a decided Im­ provement over the present law. Any one who bos attended a state conven­ tion called to nominate state officers, knows how little attention is paid to the selection of candidates for educa­ tional positions. All Interest is ab­ sorbed in selecting candidates for the first places on the ticket and when the time comes to nominate the education­ al candidates there is no interest. The first name presented is likely to go through. Almost any ambitious pedagogue in the state who possesses a little tact as a wire puller can work up a boom that will place his name on the ticket of either party for state superin­ tendent or member of the state board of education. Then there is the same indifference during the campaign. There is no weighing of merits of candidates for these educational positions. As long as the state is so strongly republican, any one who gets a place on tbe repub­ lican ticket, however unfit he may be, will be elected, and any democrat how­ ever well qualified, will be defeated. Of course all these conditions are in­ imical to the best interests of educa­ tion. The best men should be selected to manage the school system of this commonwealth, regardless of their pol­ itics. In the spring election these evils are less acute, though they exist even then, and the change would be a decided improvement. The other recommendation made by the state association is that tbe annual salary of tbe state superintendent be raised to 13,500 and the term ot his of­ fice lengthened to four years. There is much to be said in favor of this sug­ gestion, especially if the office is to be raised above tbe plane of partisanship. Tbe state of Michigan does not need to be niggardly towards one of the most important of its officials, os it is at present. Broad minded, scholarly, high charactered educators, with ad­ ministrative capacity and practical ex­ perience in the schools are needed in the superintendent's office—men who understand tbe conditions of our com­ mon schools, who command the respect of the teachers of the state and have the force to inspire and lead the forces of education in their efforts to make the schools more efficient. Such men cannot afford to accept an office that carries a salary of ilOOO, a lees sum than most village principals receive, and devote all their time and talents to its duties. , Tbe reasonable common sense policy for the state to pursue is to attach a salary to tbe position of state superin­ tendent commensurate with its import­ ance and then insist that the incumb­ ent give bls whole time aud attention in return. discrimination, such ns rebates, exces­ sive tariffs, underbllliag, und tbe like, are evils whose vicious conscjuences can hardly be overestimated. Congress must cither grapple with the question and settle it constitutionally, equitably and wisely, or these evils will continue to grow until only one alternative re­ mains: that of government ownership and control. Certainly, no believer in the Amer­ ican theory of government can look up­ on such an alternative without appre­ hension. Hot unless the evils to which we are referring can be corrected by legislation, the government will event­ ually have to resort to national owner­ ship or .submit to tbe absolute domina­ tion of these corporations. It will therefore be the part of true statesmanship for congress to take up tho question of rebates and kindred problems, and see what it can do to­ wards finding a remedy. And it is be­ ing pointed out that, although tbe pres­ ent session is a short one, the time is opportune for a fair consideration of the subject in all its bearings. For os the fifty-eighth congress goes out of ex­ istence on the fourth of March, it Is in a much better position to legislate fair­ ly and in a non.partisan spirit than the new congress will be, and there is nothing which tbe present congress can do so calculated to be of perma­ nent value to the country as the enact­ ment of legislation that will remedy the rebate and related evils from which the nation is now suffering. At a recent meeting of the state manufacturers’ association resolutions were passed favoring commercial reci­ procity with Canada. Such resolutions are good so far as they go, but they certainly can have little influence to­ wards bringing about tho change they ostensibly favor. When it comes to an election, the only time when public sentiment has a chance to express it­ self effectively, these same manufac­ turers, or at least most of them, vote in direct opposition to the reciprocity doc­ trine. So long as Michigan sends such rabid protectionists to Washington as Julius Caesar Burrows, it is downright farcical fora body of Michigan manu­ facturers to pass resolutions favoring reciprocity with Canada. And yet the time is coming when Michigan’s commercial interests will so insistently call for freer trade relations with our northern neighbors that not even a Julius Caesar Burrows will dare to defy the sentiment for reciprocity. An Appeal From tho Philippines. ST. SWITHIN’S DAY. Tbe Rebate Problem. Strangely inconsistent and unjust is our eastern colonial policy in its tariff features. By the accident of war the Philippines came into our hands and we are undertaking to confer ujxjn tbe inhabitants the blessings, as we regard them, of our own civilization. We are spending enormous sums Ln defending the Islands, maintaining law and or­ der, inaugurating reforms and develop­ ing the resources of tbe country. And yet we are imposing such burdensome restrictions upon tbe leading in­ dustries of tbe archipelago that they are threatened with ruin. This is what tbe secretary of war at Washington received in a cablegram from Manila as a New Year’s greeting: “Philippine chamber of commerce asks congress to save the Philippines from ruin by wholly abolishing the tariff on our tobacco and sugar.” , There is uo adequate reason why this appeal to congress should not be promptly granted. Tobacco and sugar are leading industries in the Philip­ pines and the present Dingley tariff makes their production unprofitable. These industries are being ruined thereby. At the same time they do not and cannot seriously threaten American producers, The removal of the tariff upon imports of sugar and tobacco from the Philippines will not materially affect our own industries and will be tbe salvatiou of two leading products of our wards in whom we pretend to be so benevolently inter­ ested. ( ' But it is doI| to be expected that tbe “stand-patters” at Washington will be moved by this appeal from Manila. Tbe infallible dogma of protection must not be trifled with, just to save the Philippines from ruin. The nar­ row minded and selfish leaders of the g. o. p. who are trying to dictate the policy of the admintitration,have de­ clared that there shall be no tinkering with the tariff, and not all tbe cable­ grams of all the boards of trade in tbe Philippines could change their minds. It remains to be s£en, however, whether the president is equally nar­ row and selfish. It is not likely that he will so prove to be. Tbe problem of overcoming tbe re­ bate evil to which the president devot­ ed much attention in bls message is al­ ready causing considerable division of opinion as to tbe best method of accom­ plishing the needed reform. It is tbe president’s view that tbe interstate commerce commission should be invest­ ed with power to establish maximum freight rates but there is much donbt as to whether such power could be con­ stitutionally conferred upon this com­ mission. Senator Elkins, who as father of the present interstate commerce law and eh airman of the senate committee on interstate commerce, should be well qualified to discuss tbe matter, is of tbe opinion that no commission has power to fix freight rates for interstate com­ merce, but only to decide as to the reasonableness of such rales. In other words, tbe power to fix rates is legisla­ tive and belongs to congress alone, while the art of deciding on the fairnew and equlty>of such rates is judicial. The latter function, he seems to think, might well be placed in the bands of a high tribunal to be constituted forthat express purpose and to be composed of judges of high character bolding their position for life, after the manner of our present supreme court. Whatever the outcome of the discus­ sion that is bound to accompany any effort at remedial legislation, it is evi­ dent that the question is one that presses fpr action. Tbe relations of the great trunk railway systems to the government, their prerogatives and limitations, their intimate connection. with the welfare of every citizen, are p]l Involved. The present forms of The whole civilized world, that has looked on with horror mingled with ad­ miration at the fierce and bloody strug­ gle around Port Arthur will be re­ lieved to learn that tbe end has been reached. General Stoessel capitulated to tbe Japanese commander Monday night and the remnant of bis heroic garrison are now prisoners of war, and tbe war-battered town of Port Arthur is in the hands of its late besiegers. Port Arthur bus been the scene of one of tbe most tremendous war strug­ gles in history. Its outlying heights have been deluged with tbe blood of tbe combatants, its harbor bos become the burial place of one of tbe finest of modern fleets of war, its streets have witnessed sad scenes of suffering and death. These trying incidents have brought out much that is admirable, both in the besiegers and tbe defenders of the town. One must respect the resolute endurance and brave resistance which tbe Russians have made, resulting in one of the longest and most stubbornly resisted sieges ot modern times; and one must be equally impressed with the self-sacriflclng, Indomitable spirit of tbe Japanese, who unhesitatingly threw away their lives in order to aid their country to gain their cherished purpose. And now comes news that the terms of surrender offered to the defeated garrison are magnanimous and hu­ mane in a high degree. The Russian officers are to be accorded the honors of war paroled and sent home. This oct of generosity on the part of > ■ Tbe Fan of Port Arthur. the Japanese victors reveals to the world nnd advanced spirit of civilization and humanity hardly less to their credit than their great military achievements. It will be a gratifying revelation to all the world to know that the new, dom­ inant power in the fur east, though rlential in origin has been impreg­ nated with the spirit of Christian nobility and mercy towards a fallen foe. Downright Farcical. The old superstition about St. SwithIn nnd the ruin has very generally died out There are still, however, a good many who incline to the belief that such n notion must have bad a bash of feflentiflc fact or it could not have obtained ns it tins done for centuries. Some years ago the records of Green­ wich observatory were examined foi twenty years with a view to ascer­ taining whether as a mutter of fact a rainy July 15 is usually followed by a rainy period approximating to forty days. It was found that the years in which St Bwlthin’s day had given no rain were rather wetter during the follow-! ing forty’ days than other years. It was concluded that the* tradition bad no meteorological facts whatever to support it Everybody has heard the •id story about the removal of St Switliln's bones on July 13 and of the manner iu which the saint resented it by deluging the district It is a curi­ ous fact but well authenticated, that the good man's bones were shifted from their original resting place iu circum­ stances of considerable pomp and splendor and without a drop of ralu falling. The origin of the superstition was probably a terrible flood which in 1313 devastated crops.

Ex­ hausted by months of almost constant fighting, decimated by disease und casualties and hopelessly sealed In IU rocky fortress, tlw gallant garrison lias yielded to its besiegers and the end is now written of the most dra­ matic war incident of modern times. At 0 o’clock Sunday night Gen. Nogi. commandin'- the Japanese army of investment, received from the Rus­ sian General Stoessol n note saying that he found further resistance use­ less and asking for a meeting to ar­ range terms of cnpitvlntion. Tlie note was simple and direct and the Japan­ ese general immediately named com­ missioners to confer with representa­ tive® ot tlie Russian commander. They met nt noon Monday to arrange the conditions of surrender. The emperor of Japan himself, through t'.ie chief of the Imperial ctaff, has given public his expression that “Gen. Stoessel tins rendered commends!)1.' service to his country in the midst of difficulties’’ and that It is his wish “that military honors be shown him.” Late dispatches from Japan have shown that the gallant defense of Stoessel and his men has nowhere been given a finer appreciation tlian In tlie land of bls foes, and it is more than likely that .Tnpnn will embrace the op jxirtunlty to show her magnanimity and admiration of the gallantry of Port Arthur’s defenders by allowing them all the honors which wnr per­ mits a victorious army to Jvestow upon tlie vanquished. The long siege with Its terrible destructlon of life is not Inaptly described as horrible beyond description nnd that life in Port Arthur was a living heli, only the future historian enn write the frill of horrors on the long and fierce selge. . I A DnuhfuK Assault. | Another Fierce Attack. FANCY NEEDLEWORK. i The present vogue of colored hand- I kerchiefs suggests».,re..zw,< n practical u „ । use for scraps of lawns, organdies nnd similar materials. Have you ever realized what a dainty affair a little handmade handkerchief can be? By that we do pot refer to those of French einbrold- ; ery, but rntber to the filmy lace trimmed creations. In the making of these handkerchiefs ninny quaintly pretty effects nre ob­ tained with seemingly useless scraps. Just a tiny piece of flowered lawn in­ serted in a corner, or a narrow strip may be utilized with insertion to form a border around a square of white lawn. When pieces nre larger the whole handkerchief may be made of some daintily figured or pale colored lawn or organdie. These handkerchiefs are lace trimpied nnd finished without hems, and before discussing the designs it may be well to explain the method of attaching the lace. This method is a French idea and a decided Improvement upon tlie old one of rolling, which is difficult nnd apt to appear clumsy on close In­ spection. To attach either lace or insertion, baste it evenly about one-sixteenth of an inch from the edge of the material, then overhand it In tho usual way. By throwing tlie thread well to tlie right before taking each stitch it will be DAINTY Al’ISON. found to roll the little edge of ma­ terial and securely fasten it Of course tho stitches should be small and even, and loose threads must be afterward removed. Handkerchief making ns just describ­ ed Is only one among many sugges-lons made by n writer in the Ladies’ World for utilizing the resources of tbe piece bag. Another is aprons. Pretty fancy aprons are dear to every feminine heart, and the making of one requires small labor and expenditure. With aprons, us with all else, different designs are suggested by the materials ut hand, but the one Illustrated is so simple tlint It is adaptable to any small pieces one may have in the house. This apron Is of white dimity, and across the bottom are three squares of primrose figured mull. These arc/set on the dimity with Insertion after the French manner described above. Lace trimmed Insertion edges the sides of the apron and is also carried across the top. while a ribbon run through fastens it around the waist and also permits of smoothing out the gathers, so that the apron may be folded away free from wrinkles. Little lace trimmed mull pockets are placed low down toward the bottom, so as to be more accessible when one is holding sewing iu the lap. Aprons made of plain pink and blue or of figured materials nre most at­ tractive, and the tinier they are the daintier they appear. Strange to say, they should be wider than long by at least three or four Indies. Pure wYiite aprons are much trimmed and befrllled and have lace trh”— • dog. ~ BEFORE THE OPEN FIRE. Happy Is the home with a fireplace. yyiiei, the chilly evenings come on the open fire is a luxury not only nor mainly for its warmth, but for the cheer, tlie comfort, the rcseuce, which UBM„ all, tlie real secret of its Is, after vbann.i. Its hilght glow K;„v. through the Its bright unshuttered window cheers the .......... mus ­ ter of tlie house as he comes home weary, i>erlinps worried, and It brings better thoughts to tlie passerby. In early twilight tbe children see pictures in the eonls or watch the shadows, like specters grim nnd tall, >n<l the baby curls his rosy toes am! cooes at tlie glow. About its ruddy cir­ cle, contented mid united, gathers the family circle. The maiden, with her dress skirt turned back mid her pretty foot on tlie fender, builds air castles over its flickering flames, mid it Is a perfect boon to the bashful lover, for who shall say how muny a stammering swain has found courage to declare himself while poking the lire? There an* stories to be told of the campfire iu tlie mountains, where young Tom apent his vacation; of the lonely Bedouin campfire in far Arabia, where tlie uncle lias been, or of tlie fireplace in tlie old home when gniudinn was a girl. Have you ever .wound clouded yarn, with the skeins thrown over tlie backs of ebnirs, in front of such a fire? How the shadows drifted over tlie colors as the yarn slipped off and spun around the ball, now dark, then light! How the great cliimuey sighed and breath­ ed. and how the conversation of the others in the room drifted In mid out of one’s thoughts, now dark, now light! The Hames leaped up the black throat of the chimney aud shone on tlie hearth, lingering about the old polisboti furniture and lighting up with startling distinctness a single pletureil face that looked out weirdly from its frame, while in the comers were heavy Rembrandt shadows. Keep tlie open tire for the sake of sentiment. There is a suggestion of roasted apples and popcorn In its coals; there are castle building nnd dreams of the future: but. best of nil, tbe mem­ ory of Its gleam is like a beacon to tho busy workers through tlie toilsome day until the eventide sets homeward, and they gather once more In tlie home cir­ cle before the fire.—G.

They are no longer frequented by cattle, of course, and therefore not freshly worn, but they remain to this day barren nnd black amid the vast plain of living green. In the spring they stand full of water until tbe advancing summer sun evaporates it, and then they are bar­ ren and black again. They are perfect circles, some large as a circus ring, nnd their basins are packed firm nnd hard by the tread and roll of many genera­ tions of the bison. Another recollec­ tion here of this extinct race is the buffalo birds, which abound in great numbers.

Take t-ome reliable remeky for it. to-day—and let that remedy be Dr. Uosehee's German syrup, which has been in use for over thirty-five years. A few doses will undoubtedly relieve your cough or cold, and iu continued use for a few days will cure you com­ pletely.

On the day congress re­ convened after tho Christmas nolldavs, tbe president permitted the announce­ ment u> be made that he was “seriously considering" the advisability of calling 0J^ “01W‘on “ revire the tariff. This information brought the stand-patters" to their feet and cre­ ated consternation at the Capitol. Sen­ ators and representatives had returned to their homes for the holidays con­ vinced that the president appreciated the futility of asking them to lower any of tho “sacred" Dingley schedules and were aghast when they learned that he was still determined to force them to show their hands on the tariff quesT,h® leud®r8 Tent at once to the White House, niogly, in pairs and in gangs to urge the president not io take so rash a step us to call them to Wash­ ington just at the beginning of the heated term. Tbe only consolation they received was an invitation to a conference to consider tbe subject and that conference will be held this after­ noon. Whai the outcome will be it Is impossible to predict but there Is no doubt the president will have to face some of the. wildest members of con­ gress and be will do well if they do not get tbe better of him. When members of congress came tu Washington the first of December they found tbe president convinced tbat the promises of lower duties made during lhe campaign, “for political purposes ■only” should be kept and that tbe "top rails" of the tariff fence should be re­ moved. He had gone so fur on this track, In fact, that his message, as printed, contained tbe statement. "I will cominnuicsie with you on the sub­ ject of the tariff later." Tbe high priests of protection immediately be­ sieged the White House and finally pursuaded tbe president to send out to the press association an order to strike from bia message the line quoted. Some of tbe newspapers bad, however already printed the line so the presi­ dent’s original Intention of sending to codgress a special tariff message be­ came known in certain sections. Tbe next step was to persuade tbe president that a special session could be held laze in the fall say in November, st which all needed changes in the Dingley rates could be made. Finally, tbe leadera showed their true bands by deprecating all changes in the tariff and their efforts to utilize the press to that end became known to the presi­ dent during tbe holiday recess. The only way in which the president can be prevented from calling congress in special session, probably this coming spring, will bo by bolding up to him the last administration of President Cleveland -as a horrible example and even that will not prevent bis sending to congress a powerful appeal for revi­ sion next December if no extraordi­ nary session is held. Another aggravating fact which has been borne in on the president of late is that tbe senate leaders have caused the statehood bill to be taken up with no intention of enacting it but for tbe sole purpose of its becoming an obstacle to other legislation; such for in­ stance, us measures calculated to give the government full control of railway nites, to check the steady growth of the trusts, to centralize the eonttol of the public forests under a single de­ partment, etc. A little later in tbe session the plea of "no time” will be advanced whenever the president asks why this, that or the other is not done and so Mr. Roosevelt is fast awakening to the fact that his republican friends in congress are not in earnest when it comes to legislation wh ch would prove of actual service to the majority of the people and would favor no special in­ terest. Secretary Ray has t-ent to tbe senate a number of arbitration treaties in which he and the president are deeply interested out which stand Bule chance of ratification us negotiated. The democratic senators see in these treaties a possibility of tbe southern states being compelled to pay tbe re­ pudiated slate bonds which were issued by carpet baggers in the reconstruc­ tion days, the proceeds of which went Into the hands of northerners who came south to exploit that section and from which the south received no bene­ fit whatever. Consequently, tbe dem­ ocrats io the senate have banded to­ gether and unless the conventions are so amended as expressly to omit from possible arbitration Lhe payment of these bonds they will never be ratified. The prospects are tbat the president and bis secretary of tbe navy are likely to encounter insuperable opposition to tbeir naval program. They have asked tbat new vessels, wbicb will cost •42,000,000 be authorized. The govern­ ment baa already authorized sbipe, which before they are completed, will cost •130,000.000 and there will be a na­ tional deficiency of 122,000,000, at least, thia year. Congress now declares it­ self ready to authorize a few of the ships asked for, but positively declines to authorize an additional expense for sew ships amounting to nearly t50,000.000. In this connection, attention is called to the fact tbat the naval au­ thorities dow declare that tbe Oregon is obsolete, altbougb it Is one of the largest battleships afloat, being of 13.­ 000 tons burthen. Now they demand ■hips of not less than 16,000 tons*, al­ though none of the foreign powers ex­ cept England are buildtag battleships of such gigantic size. Tbe more con­ servative members of congress Insist that at least one of the new 16.000 ton ships already authorized should be put Into commission and thoroughly tested before more are authorized and in this economical and judicious policy the re­ publicans will receive the full support of the democrats in both houses of con­ gress.

It seldom pays to send ill favored stock into market, says tbe Feather. Do not give any food to the turkeys for twen­ ty-four hours prior to killing. This al­ lows the crop and entrails to become empty and avoids much of the danger of spoiling. Full crops nnd entrails count against value. They often tnlnt tbe ment and prevent its being kept for any length of time. There are two methods of killing largely used, but the most |>opnlnr is to suspend the fowl by the shanks, bend down, nnd cut or stick it in the roof of tbe mouth with a knife made especially for this purpose. This sev­ ers tbe arteries aud cuts into the brain, causing Insensibility and a free flow of blood from the mouth. This is called sticking iu the roof of the mouth. Dry picking Is always to be preferred when preparing the fowls for market. When in flue condition, nicely picked and sent to ninrket without having been pocked in ice n turkey Is nt its best and consequently commands tho highest price. As soon ns the fowl is stuck and tbe blood is still flowing pluck the feathers dry from Its body, taking care in doing this not to brenk the akin or tear the flesh. Nothing de­ tracts so much from dressed poultry ns torn places upon the enreass or shnnk. ricking must be clean and nicely done.

F. FIELD. Editor and Proprietor. Governor Warner’s MessaBe. Governor Warner makes some very good suggestions in his flint message. He counsels economy, a kind of advice which always is in order, and which may mean much or little. No one can take exception to his statement (that there is need of better business methods in the conduct of our state institutions and the exercise of "the greatest pos­ sible degree of care and economy in our expenditure of public funds." It was a most timely matter to urge upon a new and wholly republican legisla­ ture, with no political minority to hold it in check. .The governor's advice about the tax commission is also interesting. This commission, he points out, is tbe result of a popular demand for a solution of the taxation question, and although the commission has accomplished some­ thing its work is far from being complete. He believes tbat its work should be continued, but that iu opera­ tions ought to be made less expensive by reducing its membership to three. He further recommends tbat its power over assessments be limited toiflxlng the aggregate assessment of the realty of tbe township or other legal subdivi­ sion and leaving the spreadieg of tbat assessment to tbe local assessing of­ ficers. There is reason to believe that this last suggestion will meet with general favor among assessing officers, many of whom have reason to resent the arbi­ trary interference of the tax commis­ sioners with their assessment roils. Governor Warner very truly says that “it is impossible for any such commis­ sion or its employes satisfactorily to ex­ amine every piece of realty in the state, and again, any attempt to make specific assessments or to raise or lower on a percentage or other basis the property of a township or other subdi­ vision, must of necessity be inexact and unjust." The governor urges the placing of the property of sleeping car companies upon the general ttx rolls, and in this matter the people will no doubt agree with him. He calls attention to exist­ ing evils connected with the hand­ ling ot freight and asks for investiga­ tion and, if necessary, remedial legis­ lation. He recommends the fostering of tbe dairy interests of tbe state and submits tbe importance of legislation in the interest of good roads. No doubt the one topic of the gov. ernor’s message that will excite tbe most interest is primary election re­ form, and on this subject his views and his recommendations will not be satisfactory to tbe people who want thorough going legislation along this line. And yet it is all that there was any reason to expect from a machine made governor. After saying that "corruption at primaries or at elec­ tions should be guarded against in every possible way," be makes this very moderate suggestion: "Legisla­ tion should be had that will permit tbe people of sueb localities as favor a change io present methods of selecting party delegates and party candidates to make such cbauges as they deem desir­ able and best. The people of Michi­ gan are entitled to, and should be given, not tbe most radical or extreme, but the very best law on this subject that your wisdom can devise." In other words the governor favors a local option law, or, as Woodbridge N. Ferris expressed it, "reform in spots,” and this kind of a law will not meet the demand of tbe people. It is all that can be expected, however, of tbe present legislature and governor. I It la What W® Voted For. * During tbe recent state campaign it would have been pretty safe to make certain predictions conditioned upon tbe election of the machine ticket. It might have been said that Julius Caes­ ar Burrows was slated for six years more in the United States senate; that "Tip" Atwood would continue to draw the railroad commissioner’s salary and be as dominant as ever at Lansing; that Sheridan Masters would be speaker; tbat the irrepressible Doherty would hold on to his job as chief engineer of the machine; that genuine primary reform would be side-tracked; and that tbe very spirit of maehinism would dominate everything done in the state capltol. These predictions, if they bad beenlmade. would already be verified. It was the machine program, and the machine, being successful, is very faith­ fully carrying it out. In saying this, we are not intending any reproof on the machine. It was perfectly apparent during the cam­ paign that the success of the republi­ can state ticket meant a continuance of the statu quo in state politics. The people knew what the result would be and it is to be presumed they are going to get just what they voted for. The machine is, naturally, going to be true to itself and give the people what they voted for. . So let us take wbat the machine fives us and be thankful. It is whut we opnrov.il when re pin It 1» «”d “ would bo » »«d coDteMlon to ucknorledg. tb.l «e m«ie • mis’ulte. A Foolish Proposition. | States census which is taken every ten years ought to be sufficient for the needs of the people of Michigan, with­ out going to the heavy expense of re­ penting lhe process between times. Of course if the state ce .isus law should be abolished, the politicians would be deprived of a fat graft in the dispensa­ tion of census bnrenu jobs, but lhe peo­ ple could stand the loss very well, and the retiring governor Is to be com­ mended for his suggestion. Owing to tbe immense cotton crop aud the abnormally low price which at present prevails for that staple the farmers of tbe south are said to be med-, itating the stupendous folly of burning j two million bales, it is hard to believe I that the southern planters are so fool- • ish, or, to use Senator Tillman’s ad­ jective, "idiotic,” as to seriously pur­ pose such a childish performance. They would be no better oil after they had destroyed tbe cotton, even for the time being, than they are now. For the supply now in tbe hands of the manufacturers, and the great quantity still in existence, would tend to keep the price down for the present. The time will come no doubt, when the demand for cotton will raise the price to at least a normal figure, and it would seem as if the formers of the south would rather take counsel of their common sense aud store their crop than petulantly vent their spite by destroying it. In so doing they are simply injuring themsel /es. For there is an inherent wealth in any crop which is independent of market condi­ tions. The world has need of every useful thing produced. It is better to have an abundance at low prices than a shortage at high prices. The farm­ ers ot tbe north are not much better off because of the recent high price of wheat, seeing they had so little of it to sell. Instead of burning their cotton it would seem that the sensible course for southern farmers to pursue would be to hold their surplus for better prices and in the meantime to change their policy of depending upon one or two crops. Greater diversity of crop raising would probably be to their advantage. Senator Burrows. It is not a gracious thing to comnlent adversely upon the career of a public servant of the rank in which Senator Burrows must be placed by virtue of his long service in the national legisla­ ture. He has just received tbe unani­ mous vote of tbe legislative caucus at Lansing for a re-election to his present position. At the same time, candor must compel the unprejudiced citizen to acknowledge tbat th&re is very little’ in tbe political labors of the senator to entitle him to another slx-year term, as representative of Michigan in the highest legislative chamber in the world. Of course there is consider­ able to be eaid In favor of keeping a tried and experienced man in office. A member of either house of congress who has had several terms of service, is worth more to bis constituency than a new man. But this is about all that can be said in defense of the continued selection of the Kalamazoo statesman tothe United States senate. There are a score of distinguished gentlemen in this state who would more satisfactorily repre­ sent Michigan in the national senate­ men of brains and energy, and more keenly alive to the real interests of tbe people than the man who has just been so highly honored by tbe state legisla­ ture. I But tt suited the politicians who are dictating tbe course of things political in Michigan to keep the venerable and experienced if not too influential states­ man from Kalamazoo In the upper bouse at Washington, and so there was noth­ ing else for the legislature to do but to endorse the will o’ the machine. Federalism Gone Mud. Mr. James R. Garfield, commissioner of tbe bureau of corporations in the new department of commerce and labor has created a sensation at Washington by his startling suggestions on how to control the corporations engaged in in­ terstate commerce.' His plan is for tbe enactment of legislation whereby all corporations engaged in interstate com­ merce shall be required to pay a na­ tional license, receiving their charters directly from tbe national government Instead of from a state. Without dwelling upon tbe details of bls plan it is easy to see that it would give the general government a very great advantage, not possessed at pres­ ent over tbe trusts engaged in inter­ state commerce. It would unquestion­ ably enable the national government' to overcome most of the evils now so acutely prevalent. In fuel the whole problem of curbing, and restraining the great combinations would be great­ ly simplified, if the whole subject could be managed by lhe national govern­ ment. But on the other hand, there are very serious, if not Insuperable ob­ stacles to Mr. Garfield's pUn. In the first place it Is very doubtful whether such a plan would be constitutional, taking away from the states as it would j do, certain powers which are probably I inherent in their sovereignty. In the second place it would be a tremendous step in tbe direction of overthrowing tbe balance of power between the state and national governments. The plan has very aptly been called "federalism gone mad." RETIRING Governor Bliss made one rather surprising recommendation in his exaugural message, which we are inclined to believe never'heless, a -eli­ gible one. He would buv»« th<- state census law abolished. The United CITY MARKETS. Wheat Eggs Butter Oats.................... . Rye Potatoes Hay........................ Hogs, live........... Hogs, dressed...

OHsiMllly Mapped ■■ an Extennlnn of Indin nd China. "Uneducated Americans,’’ says a cor­ respondent of the London Times, “pro­ nounce the name of their country America, calling themselves Amaricans. In so doing they not only yield to a natural craving for a finer eu­ phony, but, quite accidentally, I pre­ sume. are more correct etymologically than educated Americans. Amerigo be­ ing the Italian form of the Gothic Amalaric, contracted to Amnric. This personal name means ’strenuous in la­ bor, resolute In action.* an appropriate motto to add to the Washington armo­ rial in the national device of ’America.’ "Brazil was the original America. Down to the first quarter of the six­ teenth century our North America wus still mapped ns nn extension of Indio. Tibet, China nnd Japan, with Brazil as an Island, separated by the Islands dis­ covered by Columbus from ’the newworld of Greater India’ and named ’America provincin’ nnd again ‘America vel Brasilia.’ “Not before the middle of the six­ teenth century was the term ’America' extended to North America, with the addition ’tel Nova India.* In brief, the Americas were both mere wind­ fans in the heroic secular quest after ’spiced' India. This is the redoubted debt the Anglo-Saxon race owes India.” THREE RECIPES. Th* Way to Either Can, Jam or Pre­ serve n llunbaad. For this puriKtse select n nice, kind, amiable, industrious, generous man. The American variety Is far better than the foreign kind. Prepare him by having him go through a long en­ gagement. which effectually renders 1dm easy to Imiidlc. Gently detach him from all of his old friends nud ac­ quaintances and remove any habits he may have. He Is then ready to can, preserve or make jam, as you choose. To can, merely deprive him of bls latchkey aud throw a handful of mother-ln-lnw in the house. Men corked up like this have been known to keep for years without spoiling, though when they are opened up. if kept teo long, they arc apt to be sour. To make jam. prepare as before, but shred nil of his finer feelings by nagging and pound them into a pulp by complaints. To preserve a husband, put as much love into tbe heart ns it will bold, add nn ocean of sympathy, a world of tender­ ness, n pound of forbearance, a dram of patience nnd drop him into It until he is thoroughly coated over with sug­ ar. Husbands should always be crys­ tallized one at a time, never In pairs; neither should they ever be stood in hot water. This is where many wom­ en make mistakes.—Memphis Commer­ cial Appeal. PANAMA HATS. They Are Made From the Vadevelaped Leaven of the Bomboaaje. The panama is n leaf bat made tn Colombia. Ecuador and Peru from the undeveloped lerf of tbe “bomhonnje.” which Is a screw pine rather than a palm. The trunk of the plant Is only a yard in height, but the leaf stalks arc two yards long. The leaf before It has opened is pre­ pared for the manufacture of hats. It then consists of a bundle of plaits about two feet long and nn inch in di­ ameter called n “cogollo." The green outside Is stripped off. nnd by means of a forked instrument it is cut into narrow strips of uniform size. The cogollo Is next boiled to toughen the fiber nnd hung In the sun to dry nnd blench, when the strips shrivel into cordlike strands ready for use. It takes sixteen eogollos far an ordinary hat and twenty-four for tbe finest, and u single bat Is plaited In from four days to as many months, according to its texture nnd quality.—Mexican Herald.

E. MERRITT. USE OF FRENCH WORDS. A Practice That Dora Nat Help the Entrllah Lanamaae. Why do people persist In using French words when there are good old English words to serve the purpose': It is a habit tbat is growing dally. For instance, nt dinner people give you “menu” Instead of “bill of fare," though the Items are such English dishes as boiled cod. roast beef and ap­ ple tart One is accommodated with a serviette instead of a napkin, an Eng­ lish word, but originally of French or­ igin, ns Is the Scotch word napery. used for household linen. When you enter a shop you arc served with cor­ sets Instead of stays, costumes by n costumlere instead of dresses by a dressmaker. “Blouses” take the place of shirts or waists, and hose are of­ fered for stockings. The former word Is, however. English. At the theater we have programmes instead of play­ bills and mnllnee.4 in place of afternoon performances. Toques are adjusted with as much ease as hats, and we ent In a restaurant ns cheerfully ns in n dining room. There are, of course, un­ translatable words which must be used, but our good old English lan­ guage is rapidly becoming a hotch­ potch of foreign words, while telegra­ phy Is doing Its best to oust all the crisp and racy Saxon speech. When­ ever possible let us determine to use nn English Instead of a French word, both in literature and conversation.— London Graphic.

A report of the inspect­ ors of prisons contains a list of eleven persons in Lancashire fined nnd im­ prisoned under the act between Feb. 12, 1830. and Mny 10, 1810. In one case a laborer was in prison for ten weeks (until released by order of tbe home secretary) after being convicted in a penalty of 1 shilling, with 14 shillings costs, for having been absent from church a single Sunday. This act was repeated, so far' ns regards Roman Catholics, in 1844, and wholly in 1846. —London Chronicle. “You will observe tbat this is a very fine point” “It ought to be.

Tokio, Jan. 9.—The transfer of Rus­ sian prisoners was completed Sunday. The total number Is 878 officers and 23.481 men. The number of Japa­ nese prisoners released at Port Ar­ thur was 104, including two army and two navy officers. Of the prisoners 441 officers and 229 orderlies have given their parole. Gen. Smirnoff, Gen. Fock, Gen. Gorbatovsky and Admiral Willmann pre­ ferred to be sent to Japan as prison­ ers. The 8-year-oId daughter of a Rus­ sian officer was among the prisoners. Gen.

Thomas & Pryor, Gen. Sloessel is reported to have said that the turning point in the siege of the fortress was the arrival of the Japanese eleven-inch naval guns. He expressed surprise at Gen. Kouropatkin's defeat, and said it was useless for the Baltic fleet to come East now. The Japanese found that the Rus­ sian. hospitals in Port Arthur were better than they expected to find them. It was ascertained that there was a considerable stock of medical supplies on hand. Vegetables are badly needed. VISIT TO RUINED FORTS. London, Jan. 9.—The Daily Tele­ graph’s correopondent at Port Arthur says he baa just visited the eastern fort lines. Undoubtedly the fort on Colgrove & Potter, Wantal formed the key to the whole position. It is armed with a couple Hastlaga, Mich of six-inch guns. On the slopes there are four ten-inch howitzers, and to the A. B. Kenastov, eastward and westward there are many battery positions, armed with modern guns.

BIG TEXTILE STRIKE IS PRACTICALLY OVER Union and Nonunion Operatives Are Nearly All Back at Work in Fall River Mills. Fall River, Mass., Jan. 9.—Union and nonunion operatives are returning to work in large numbers, and It Is estimated by manufacturers tbat 30,­ 000 looms were in operation Satur­ day and 12.000 people were at work. This is two-thirds of the employes now in the city. Within a week there have been so many added applications for work at the mills that manufacturers have concluded tbat the new wage scale Is virtually established. It will take many months for the mills to recover from the disorganization consequent on the long strike, regardless ot any action to be taken by the unions in formally declaring it off. The report that the textile manufac­ turers have signed a secret compact, declaring the purpose of tbe present strike to be tbe crushing out ot tex­ tile labor unions, Is denied here. There are six or seven manufacturers here who are members of the national as­ sociation with which Mr. Parry of Indianapolis Is connected, but they are no’- members of the Citizens* Al­ liance. Gen.

OFFERS PROTECi t UTO PUBLIC Senator Heyburn Wcuici L-vcke Char­ ters if Sworn Statcineni.3 Prove to Be False—Mr. Teher and Others Submit Their Ideas. Washington, Jan. fi.—Tho evils cl railroad rate discriminations and the injustice ot rebates to vj/ored ship­ pers is now being given serious con­ sideration by members ot congress. A wide difference ot opinion exists as to the best means ot remedying prevail­ ing conditions. The diversity of views will probably prevent any action this session. The bills already introduced to pre­ vent giving rebates cover a wide range. The Quarles Cooper bill in­ creases the powers ot the interstate commerce commission, and is in line •with the recommendation contained in the president's last annual message. The Newlauds bill provides for fed­ eral control of common carriers. The Heyburn bill carries out the sugges­ tions ot Commissioner Garfield for granting licenses or franchises to all corporations engaged In interstate commerce. Senator Elkins is prepar­ ing a bill, based on the English law, to create an interstate commercial tribunal for the adjustment of unrea­ sonable rates made by railroads or steamboat lines. Question of Legislation. Senators Cullom, Heyburn and a few others believe there will be some legislation this session. Senator Elk­ ins thinks It is impossible to accom­ plish anything in the brief time al­ lowed. The senate interstate commerce -11 the bills now pending for remedy­ committee will consider next Friday Ing rate and rebate evils. In an Interview Senator Heyburn, author of a LIU granting franchisee to nil interstate corporations, said: “There Is undoubtedly great injus tlce done the public through rebates by railroad companies. The PeoP’e must be afforded protection by the enactment of a law which will secure a discontinuance ot tbe8C1prac.t.,“%_ “Congress can deal only with the interstate feature ot th.s matter. jueie it> a prevailing error in many quarters that congress can control cor­ porations existing within a state. Nothing can be done in that direc­ tion. The constitutional power be­ longs to congress to regulate inter­ state commerce, but goes no further. Heyburn Has Drastic Plan. "My bill provides that a railroad or other interstate corporation must sub­ mit a sworn statement that no rebates or favored rates are given before a charter can be Issued to it. If it is subsequently discovered that rebates the being paid its charter can be re­ voked. The public is afforded abso­ lute protection." Senator Teller said: "I am in favor of increasing the powers of the interstate commerce commission to regulate railroads. The president’s recommendation meets with my approval. "There is a growing disposition on the part of corporations to disregard law, and a measure must be drawn which can be enforced. Tbe people are tired of this discrimination, and something should be done for their relief. I do not expect to sie any­ thing done at the present session.” Hite at Rebates. Senator Newlands, author of the bill providing for federal control of com­ mon carriers, said: "There should be the most strin­ gent legislation for the prevention of rebates and discrimination. These abuses have become almost intolera­ ble. We are now In the midst of an era of rebates, preferences, and dis­ criminations, deliberately promoted by the managers of large railways In the Interest of certain communities and of certain larger corporations interested In the ownership ot such railroads. "The time has come to abolish state lines as to the construction, operating and management of railroads. The public interests require this, and the power to accomplish it Is contained in that clause of the constitution which gives congress the power to regulate interstate and foreign commerce. This power has never been fully exercised." Most Important Matter. Representative Cooper, author of tbe Cooper-Quarles bill, said: “Discriminating freight rates is the most important question before the people. It overshadows the tariff and all other matters. 1 have no sym­ pathy with Indiscriminate denuncia­ tion of railroads, but railroad favorit­ ism to large corporations Is one of the chief sources, if not the most impor­ tant source, of their power. "There are business houses which purchase 140.000 worth of postage stamps each year. Suppose the gov­ ernment should sell Its stamps to one person for *£ cent apiece and charge others 2 cents each for the same stamps. There are trusts and cor­ porations which have secured special privileges by which they are enabled to crush out competition. The great­ est power they can have is this dis­ crimination of freight rates. As every­ body who desires to use the mails must buy postage stamps, so fhnst everybody who expects to engage in business use the railroads. Discrim­ ination in freight rates is perhaps the worst outrage citizens of this coun­ try have ever been made to suffer.” Would Regulate Rates. Representative F. C. Stevens of M'unusota, a member of the commit•ic on imerstate and foreign comcc. before which all bills relating io railroad transportation is consid­ ered, s--.il I: “I shall vote for any bill which will ylsce the regulation and fixing of freight rates in the hands of a gov­ ernment body, not necessarily the in­ terstate commerce commission. The Inst report of the interstate commerce commission says the giving of secret rebates to shippers is about obsolete. The main cause of complaint now Is that of localities. One locality com­ plains that it is being discriminated against In favor of another." Oppose* Confiscation. Representative James R. Mann of Illinois, a member of the committee, said: “We are trying to evolve something thnt will afford relief to the shippers without confiscation of the railroads. There will always be rebates and fa­ vors to certain shippers as long as there is a railroad wanting business and knowing it can get it by a friend­ ly turn." struck a wall which was seen to have once contained a door, which had been sealed and blocked with stone.

Article* on Frenzied Finance Have Their Effect, Though Forgetfulness and Failure of Prophecies May Counteract Influence. Chicago, Jan. 9.—In the course of the investment and speculative mar­ kets Indicate that T. ’.V. l^awson's warnings have had a wider Influence temporarily than the marKet is ready to admit. The timidity of money is roverblal, and in the bauds of small investors this timidity finds Its most exaggerated form. The difficulty with the stock market Is not that holdings are being disposed of but that the public hesitates to come in. With tbe turn of the new year business condi­ tions as generally regarded have war­ ranted a revival of the buying move­ ment. This buying, however, is alto­ gether lacking. To those who have ob­ served the markets and the relation of the public thereto it is apparent that the fear of something that may happen i* causing undue caution. Com­ mission house* find themselves unable to interest even their largest custom­ ers In new Investments. It is not lack of funds occasioned either by poor business or by losses In speculation tbat is causing the hesitation. Do Not Buy Bond*. Some Chicago houses which do a good bond business find that their Jan­ uary Investments have notably declin­ ed compared with one year ago. Not more than a quarter of the sales of bonds Is recorded now as compared with January, 1904. The unwilling­ ness to buy this January Is general. So far as Mr. Lawson’s influence is concerned, it should in the course of things be dissipated through failure of prophecies to be realized and through forgetfulness. No calamity In lhe stock market Is so great as to have an enduring influence. The Law­ son trouble is not a calamity but merely a fear of possibilities. Cong re** Holds the Key. But those who are looking for per­ manent Influences on the adverse .«ide of the market must turn to Wash­ ington. Let It be agreed that legls’ation proposed by the president la wise, and let It be agreed that no rash measures will be enacted, still until a public body as large ns con­ gress acts there can be no certainty as to what will be done. The presi­ dent’s known views prior to the elec­ tion and their indorsement by the vote received must be taken to indicate how widespread is the sympathy with his ideas. With the country appar­ ently asking for changes, optimism should bo conservative ns to the out­ come. The large financial interests themselves are waiting on Washing­ ton, while Mr. Lawson has come upon the scene at a time opportune for the exertion of the influence he has been able to exercise. Hold Onto Stock*. It Is learned that the important in­ terests have not been selling stocks. They arc still holding purchases made earlier In the year, and this makes for a large degree of stability la prices. But the outlook Is certainly for irreg­ ularity, and the lack of demand for money emphasizes the slowness with which the expected bulge In prosperity materializes. COLLEGES PLAN TO COMBINE Galesburg and Peoria Institution* Con­ fer on Consolidation. Peoria, III., Jan. 9.—For the purpose of arranging a consolidation between Lombard college of Galesburg and Bradley Polytechnic institute ot Peoria a conference was held in this city which was attended bj’ President Har­ per of the University of Chicago, Prof. F.

The meeting was kept a secret, but when It became known that a confer­ ence had been held it was admitted that it was for the purpose of consid­ ering the subject of consolidation. O. J.

The mess hall is decorated to a queen’s taste, palms and banana leaves and garrison flags (which are about 15 x 9 ft.) Besides all these we had many very pretty signs of “Welcome.” At one end of tbe mess hall were placed two large banana plants, between which were placed, very artistically, two of our troop guerdons. These were in the form of a eras, and at the place where they cross was tacked one. of the large pictures of the troop.

The Detroit Times, by its corns* poodent from Charlotte, dated Jan. 11, •ays that William Warner of Dowling, employed by a dredge contractor named Bodette, who is now engaged in digging the Battle Creek drain, had his left hand blown off by the explo­ sion of a stick of dynamite. He had used the explosive to bread the ice around the dredge machinery before the accident occurred. Dr. 8. Weaver amputated the injured member be­ tween the wrist and elbow. Mr. Warner is a son of Fred Warner who formerly resided near Middle lake .north of this city and is a second cousin of Mrs. Chas. Lunn of this city. JOEL EVANS WILL CASE. Judge Mack’s Decision Sustained in the Circuit Court. The Joel Evans will case which had been on trial in the circuit court for the past ten days, went to the jury last Thursday afternoon and it returned a verdict after having been out about 25 minutes, sustaining the decision ren­ dered in the probate court by Judge Mack and denying the codicils in which the bulk of the property was left to Mrs. Sarah F. Thompson and Sands H. Lane of Battle Creek. The probabili­ ties are that the case will be carried to the supreme court. Dr. Elliott at Kalamazoo. Dr. Jamas M. Elliott of Hickory Cor­ ners, one of the oldest members of the Kalamazoo Academy of Medicine, at­ tended the annual meeting of the so­ ciety Iasi Thursday and responded to the toast, ‘-Tbe Doctor of the Old School.” Tne following appeared In the Kalamazoo Gazette Friday morn­ ing: . Dr. Elliott told the story of the old* fashioned doctor, who, when the state examiners sent him examination blanks inquiring as to the school of medicine to which be belonged and the courses of lectures which he had taken remarked that “this whole business was made law ag’in my protect. I didn’t belong to no school nor tuke no lectures. 1 went to the district school and then took plain medicine with Doc. Johnson here In town, learning the business firsthand.” Dr. Elliott went on to speak of the various notions pre­ vailing as to old school and old fash­ ioned country doctors, and convinced his audience that the country practi­ tioners have much the same problems, the same experiences, ibe «»me pleusX“nd\be same high ideals in their practice that their younger and more metropolitan brothers have. SEVENTY-SEVENTH BIRTHDAY OF D. R. McELWAlN. Chester Engel harat The following extracts from a letter recently received by James Engelhardt from his son Chester will show how sol­ dier life in tbe Philippines has its bright side: 11.00 It was a happy thought on the part of Mr. and Mrs. J. E. McElwain to give a dinner at their home on west Green street, in honor of the former's father last Thursday afternoon, and to invite in a number of old gentlemen of tbe same age as himself, old friends and neighbors, to help him celebrate his seventy-seventh birthday. The names of those present and date of birth and year of coming to Barry county are as follows, the year of birth being tbe same for all of them, 1828. John Wickham, Jan. 8, came here in 1836; Delos R. McElwain, Jan. 12, came here in 1854; Robert Bliven, March 25, came here in 1854; James M. Hewes, March 28, came here in 1834; Allen Jones, April 10, came in 1846; O. D. Spaulding, June 5, came in 1855; David Wolcott, July 12, came in 1854; H. G. Carter, Aug. 10, came in 1866; Morgan Jones, Aug. 22, came in 1863; W. S. Chidester, Sept. 22, came in 1872; Jacob O'Dell, Oct. 18, came in 1842; Thomas Heney, Dec. 22, came in 1855. Morgan Jones was born in Wales and Thomas Heney Id Ireland. All the rest are natives of New York state. It will be seen from the above dates that moat of them are to be counted as pio­ neers of Barry county.

A Ykab Tr‘,nln“ PROSPECTS FOR A THEATRE The writer sjxjnt a short but very pleasant hour In the normal training department of the city schools Tuesday afternoon. As is well known, this de­ partment is a new departure in educa­ tional work, instituted for the purpose of training young people ifor teaching in the rural schools of the county. The course of instruction has been formu­ lated by the state superintendent's of­ fice. and is designed to give one year’s preparation for teaching in the coun­ try schools. The class for Barry county, orga­ nized last September, consists of twelve young ladies, and Is being very successfully conducted by Miss Harriet Peckham, a lady of large experience in educational work. It seems strange that there are no young men in the class as they certainly need the train­ ing as well as the young ladies, if they are to keep up to the times, as school teachers. Tbe class is composed of the follow­ ing young ladies: Ollie Babbitt, Freeport. Nellie Curtis, Woodland. Floy'Erway, Hastings. Minnie Luke, Nashville. Ella L. Lathrop, Morgan. Emma Lathrop, Morgan. Fannie Seger, Freeport. Grace Waddell, Woodland. Mary E. Landis, Woodland. Lillian Knapp, Hastings. Grace Giddings. Hastings. Nellie EL Stebbins, Hastings. Ruth Bacheller, Nashville. There are thirty-six weeks in the . course, and the first semester closes this week. Their work is partly academic, re­ views of the common branches, with a special stress upon teaching them, ob­ servation work, visiting the grades and taking note of what they see; and prac­ tice work, taking charge of classes and actually teaching. Next semester’s program will consist ofjpedagogy and school management, school law or nature study, history and civics, reading and language, arithme­ tic, observation work during tbe first nine weeks and practice teaching dur­ ing the rest of the (year; music and drawing, agriculture; critique meet­ ings, and one half day every week man­ ual training. Supt. Chamberlin will conduct the work in pedagogy and school manage­ ment, Mr. Wallace in agriculture. Miss Brumm in music and drawing, Miss Garfield in manual training and Miss Peckham in all the rest. ADDITIONAL LOCAL. Herman Sharphorn waa in Holland Friday. Mrs. J. D.

We are pleased to state that Mr. Will Thomas has decided to erect a first class opera house in Bastings pro­ vided the negotiations now in progress for a suitable location are successful. Mr. Thomas stated to the Herald yes­ terday that he is very much in earnest in the matter, and that his purpose is to give this city a building that will be an honor to Hastings, three or four stories high, with stores and offices on the first floor and an auditorium above, first class in all its appointments. His plans have not yet reached the stage of details, as tbe first thing to accomplish is to secure the site. There is no doubt, we believe, from the representations he made to tbe Herald, that this city has good pros­ pects of seeing one of its greatests wants supplied, provided Mr. Thomas meets with such public support and liberal treatment as to site as he might reasonably expect. improvements In the High School* It is always gratifying to note im­ provement! In our schools. A Herald reporter dropped in to the central building a little while Tuesday and found that several important changes bad been made since his lass call. The laboratory tables and material have been transferred from the room so long occupied by that department on the third floor to the room directly be­ low on the second fiojr. Here Mr. Wallace now meets all bis classes and all the work connected with the science department is done in this room. Miss McNaughton now occupies the room across the ball formerly occupied by Mr. Wallace. Five handsome, massive laboratory tables have been placed In these rooms, three in Mr. Wallace’s room and two in Mias McNaughton’s. These tables were greatly needed and no doubt will be fully appreciated both by teachers and pupils. Speaking of the tables leads us to note that upon one of them has been placed a very interesting collection of iron ore specimens taken from a mine near Ironwood. This collection has been presented to tbe school by Mr. J. T. Lombard, whose benefactions to the school have been so many and valuable. But the mod noteworthy change has been In the library. The room former­ ly used for the laboratory has been fitted up for tbe library and reading room. The floor has been painted, the walls tinted and the sides lined with shelving. Here the various sections of the library have been combined into one large collection of about 2000 vol­ umes. They are being arranged in sections, such as “History,” “Science,” “Fiction,” etc., and are being re-cata­ logued. The reading table formerly in the assembly room has been placed in tbe center of the library. The change should stimulate the use of tbe library, making it a more valuable feature of school work than it has ever been be­ fore. Tbe room on the second floor former­ ly occupied by the library has been turned over to Miss Brumm, supervisor of music and drawing, as headquarters for her department. As Mies Garfield, teacher of the new department of manual training hap­ pened to be giving a lesson in one of the sixth grades, a few moments was spent in observing thia work. The girls were learning to sew, and some of tbe work done in hemming and stitch­ ing was very creditable to such young girls. The boys were doing knife work each being supplied with a tray contalcing the necessary tools and materi­ al. They are required to lay out their work, systematically and carefully, using rules, squares, etc., and doing everything Intelligently, according to well considered plan. Such work, judiciously directed, must prove of much practical value to the children, not so much because it will make them artisans and housekeepers, os because it will teach them patience, system, neatness, and the value of correlating mind and muscle In the doing of things useful, and because it wil’ open up to their minds the capabilities of a trained mind com pined with a trained hand. Next Sunday morning at the Metho­ dist church, tbe pastor will preach on “A Day of Good Tidings.” In the evening be will preach a sermon for young men, subject, “Brave Benaiah, the Lion Killer.” • �HASTINGS HERALD, THURSDAY, JANUARY 19, 1905 Current Opinion. Real Estate Transfers. Japan’s Latest Lesson to ihe World. inSLLn?l*t?Ur’8 “Mtulatlon serves to methSHni “ mBnner lhe U’hh Way“ of.1,10 J“P»Dese army. With the surrender of the fortrei, the Japanese found themselves in pos­ ition of approximately 25,000 prisonera of war entirely dependent upon them for sustenance. Did they shirk the responsibility? Was there any ces­ sation of activities in the vicinity of Mukden. Was there any hill in the work of recruiting fresh troops at home and dispatching supplies to those al­ ready in the field? Not the least. With surprising rapidity the prisoners a, °.t0 oare for themselves were march­ ed fifteen miles to a seaport, where they embarked for Japanese territory, there to remain under guard until the war ig over. The injured who were able to be moved were conveyed from 1 , .ei\y 1° ambulances and dispatched with the rest, while those whose condi­ tion was too serious to permit their re­ moval remained in the hospitals under the care of Japanese surgeons and nurses. There was no confusion, no delay. * ♦ * From tbe outset Japan has be^n furnishing object les­ sons to lhe rest of the world, and this latest performance, particularly note­ worthy because indicating the presence of humane instincts and pointing the way to tempering the horrors of war­ fare, shows that there is still much for the other nations to learn from the little brown men of tbe east.—Detroit Free Press. . The Rebate Question. The power to grant rebates upon grounds of favor, personal or political, enables a great railroad to make or un­ make business men, to ruin one and exalt another. They can kill new and growing towns by enabling rival towns to outgrow them. They can exert power over voters and office holders by swinging this club menacingly over ambitious men. They can upbuild mo­ noplies by crippling competition, and being creators of tbe monopolies can compel their support. They can by owning a few mines use rebate* to raise prices and kill off other mining inter­ est*. They can tie up fruit shipment* until they spoil, or hold live stock until it depreciates. They can build up meat, coal, oil and shipping trusts that cling together like barnacle* in support of tbe power that makes or breaks them at will. That kind of machine needs metering and regulating, brakes, safety valves and automatic court signal*. Wise people appreciate and value tbe railroads, but they do not want rebate* running around with knives and dag­ gers in tbe dark.—Grand Rapids Her­ ald. The True Teat. Of course it is not necessary that the governor go Into all the details of state Svernmeot in his messages to the legatu re, because there is, after all, a f'reat deal that he may do under exist* ng laws to improve conditions. Tbe true test of a governor's administration is not to be found in his statement* to the legislature, which may have been prepared by someone else, but in bls every day conduct; not in the character of his advice but in the character of his official acts, in the character of the men whom he appoints, and in the -character of those of whom he releases from prison.—Lansing Journal. 1 Found a Cure for Indigestion.

Venality of the voters is getting to be an evil so wide spread and pernicious as to engage the serious concern of po­ litical leudeas on every side. Delaware has long been sunk In political corrup­ tion; Colorado seethes with political strife growing out of election frauds; Missouri, under its reform governor, Folk, is engaged in cleansing its high places of corruption; and now comes the retiring governor of Indiana, Win­ ifred T. Durbin, with a scathing ar­ raignment of political evils in bis own state. In bls last annual message Governor Durbin dwells at length upon political corruption. “The statistics of political debauchery in this state in 1904, ” he says, “if it were possible to present them, would be nothing short of as­ tounding. I am informed by unques­ tioned authority that in a single county in Indiana casting in 1902 a little more than 5,000 votes, there were in the last campaign nearly 1,200 voters regular­ ly listed as purchasable, and that 815­ 000 raised by assessment from candi­ dates and otherwise were spent by the contending political parties in the effort to control the county.” Is it any wonder that decent men shrink from going into politics when such conditions confront them? Prob­ ably things are not so bad as this in Michigan, though tbe -need of purer politics Is sufficiently urgent, in this state as well os others. Governor Dur­ bin suggests the introduction of voting machines as a deterring agency. This seems to commend itself as a practical suggestion, though the expense of ob­ taining voting machines makes it diffi­ cult to carry it out. Another step towards political reform will have been taken when the .direct nomination system is put into effect. But after all these expedients have been adopted there is one more condi­ tion that must be sought in order to have the ideal political purity which is the surest guaranty of good govern­ ment. That condition is reform of tbe voter. No amount of safe-guarding of tbe ballot box will be so effective as an incorruptible electorate. Political vir­ tue must be inculcated through tbe agencies of the schools and tbe press, and men of tbe better class of morals must make the effort and sacrifice nec­ essary to take part in nominating con­ ventions and elections. It is clear that tbe public conscience must be soon aroused, else this boasted government of the people will sink into a state of political corruption that will make it a by-word among the govern ments of the world. Hazing is Dangerous. The case of Henry Johnson, tbe Agricultural college student, who was suddenly taken violently insane and died a few days later, is of course a re* grettable incident, from the standpoint ot the young man and bls friends. But it will be especially deplorable if the charges that bis death was due to haz­ ing pranks at tbe college should be substantiated. The reputation of the Institution would bs likely to suffer if the allegations should prove to be true. It appears that President Snyder has made rigid investigation of the circum­ stances attending the young man's ill­ ness and has been unable to find that any serious hazing has been going on at Lansing. It would seem from such reports as have been published, that the unfortunate student was not sub­ jected to anything worse than a very mild form of chaffing at the hands of regular students, such as would not af­ fect a normal-minded young man at all seriously. If such prove to be tbe fact, the sgricultural college students will be relieved thereby of any serious responsibility Id the unfortunate affair. But tbe inci­ dent will probably prove to be a salu­ tary warning to the Institution and its students that the custom of hazing is a dangerous one. If all boys were strong In physique and normal in nervous temperament, and If hazing were al­ ways kept within moderate bounds, no especial harm might be expected from that kind of fun. Eut there are plenty of youths to whose senslvlve natures and high sprung nerves, hazing Is tor­ ture, mentally more than physically, and it is upon this class of students that the thoughtless custom is likely to have disastrous effects. Hazing is, then, a custom more honored in the breach than in the observance, and it would no doubt be wise if It could be totally eliminated from college life. fees they collect for an adequate com­ pensation, they cannot be very severe­ ly blamed if they take every technical advantage that may offer in order to swell their income, and tho temptation is constantly before them to be unneces­ sarily active in the administration of their offices, in order that their emolu­ ments may be made as large us posslble. Without reflecting upon their honesty, it is but a natural consequence of the fee system that the sum extract­ ed from the public for services per­ formed by county or other officers will be greater when such sum is a per­ quisite of the office than when it is turned in to the public treasury and the officials are paid entirely by salary. Then there is the greater evil of dis­ honesty which frequently is afforded to unscrupulous or weak officials. The system is capable of abuse in the ba ads of greedy and unworthy office-holders, as witness the corrupt practices of the Wayne oounty coroners lately brought to light. There appears to be a good deal to be said in favor of a general abandonment of tbe fee system. Theoretically the system has some justification in the'act that the fees, in some of the offices at least, are exacted from the persons di­ rectly Interested, and who therefore are under certain moral obligations to pay for them. For example the man who has a deed recorded or a marriage license issued is to a certain extent the one to be benefited thereby, and yet the record or the license is intended for the public welfare as well. All things considered therefore it seems pretty well established that tbe fee system is, even at its best, less satis­ factory than the salary system, and in yery many cases it has proved to be grossly extravagant, and capable or flagrant abuse. The Hoffman Verdict. John T. Hoffman, sheriff-elect, if not de facto, of Wayne county, prince of good fellows, genial, generous, popular, is a convicted prisoner in the very jail he was elected to control. After a re­ markably long period of deliberation a jury of his peers has pronounced him guilty of obtaining money from the state by fraud. While coroner of Wayne county be resorted to dishonest practices to swell the receipts of his of­ fice. It is possible, and indeed prob­ able, that other coroners have indulged in the same criminal practices. His colleague In fact is now under indict­ ment for similar offense and will soon be brought to trial. If the facts were known, it would not be very surprising If Hoffman had simply followed bad precedents in bis wrong doing. Certalniy there should be no disposi­ tion to gloat over the downfall of this genial official. His case will excite much sympathy. And yet there ought to be a feeling of satisfaction that a vicious and criminal practice has been so sharply condemned by the courts. There is no other way to protect public; offices from corrupt practices than to mete out swift and certain punishment to the offender. The trial and convic­ tion of one such law-breaker as John T. Hoffman, drastic though it may seem, will prove a timely and salutary warning to “grafters," and looked at from the standpoint of the public good Is matter of congratulation. No Um For Ferris Men. No man who ever squinted towards Ferris, the Big Rapids schoolmaster, can expect any favors from tbe pres­ ent state administration. Richard Congdon, the postmaster of the last legislature, has found Shis out to his sorrow. He was suspected of having a taint of Ferrlslsm in his blood during the late campaign, consequently he has lost his job. If Mr. Congdon had wanted to hold his position he should have pursued a Fees or Salaries. Some of tbe leading counties in the state, like Wayne and Kent, are pre­ paring to adopt the salary system to a greater or leas extent. The new sheriff of Wayne county, for example, will re­ ceive all bls compensation through bis salary, and not be permitted to pocket any of the fee, that may be taken in, in the discharge of his official duties. There is reason to believe that the abandonment of the fee system in most, £ if not all, county offices would inure to £ the benefit of tbe public treasury. When officials have to depend upon the ' different course. If he had been wise ho would have gone forth during the recent campaign and plugged good and hard for the “machine.” Ho would have shouted for Warner and local pri­ mary reform. He ought io have known that he could not commit a worse offense in the eyes of the high moguls of the machine than to sympa­ thize with Woodbridge N. Ferris. So, he is receiving just the kind of treatment he has courted. He may have made a model official, but that doesn't count. It is necessary that everybody connected in the slightest ,degree with this administration should be a Warner republican. It would never do for a solid Warner legislature to have its mall distributed by a Ferris sympathizer. He might use his posttlon to corrupt the law makers, or work up a Ferris boom for lIXMi, the very thought of which makes a Warnerite turn pale. SHIRT WAIST SPECIALS About ten dozen Shirt Waists, $1.00, $1.25, $1.50 values, while they last Viewing tho partisan one-sldedness of tbe legislature from tbe standpoint of the public welfare alone, there is no doubt that such a condition is detri­ mental. There is no obstacle to party, ill-considered and extravagant legisla­ tion, in the shape of a vigilant and well ,organized minority. The only check .upon the doings of the present legis­ lature will be public opinion and a watchful, independent press.

The boys have been bare­ footed all winter till now. I have been out after quail and rabbits three or four times and hod good luck. Times are quiet, not much mining just now but hope to see more soon. We expect good weather till the March winds. Then, look out. I have seen just as hard in Michigan, but does not lost so long as here. The March winds dry everything up and if there is no snow with them, do grass till last of June or first of July. Then warm and every­ thing green in three or four days. It would surprise you to see things grow. Cattle in May, just a shadow—so poor: last of July fat and slick as you please and no one could think them the same cattle. August and September every­ thing green, when In Muy you would say nothing could grow. Don't think this Is Michigan. It is not. If I could have this weather in Michigan I would not give one acre ot Michigan for the territory of New Mexico. Sunday School Teachers’ Meeting.

Jan. 1G.—"Gessler Rosseau,” who was arrested In this city on Jan. 11 with sn unloaded infer­ nal machine in Ills po session, admit­ ted to the police Sunday that he at­ tempted to destroy the statue of Fred­ erick the Great in Washington Jan. 9, and also that it was he who sent the trunk containing an infernal machine to the steamship Umbria ut New York hi May, 1903. The prisoner, whose right name is not known, made these admissions in the office of Capt. Donaghy after he had been identified by persons brought here from New York and Washington for that purpoee. He gave no reasons for the attempted outrages except that “there are too many foreign af­ fairs in this country." “Patriotic Fanatic.” After having Rosseau under fire all afternoon the police classed him as an "American patriotic fanatic.” The prisoner gave no information volun­ tarily to the police, he admitting only those things which the police had fastened on him. Both the Washing­ ton and New York authorities want the man. and it is probable that he will be turned over to the police of the latter city. The apprehension of Rosseau was due to the disappearance of Owen Kelly, a wealthy Irish-American, who is prominent in Irish-American soci­ eties in this country. Kelly disap­ peared on Oct 25, and from time to time the newspapers, particularly of the East, have published articles on Se mysterious disappearance. These, e police believe, undoubtedly at­ tracted Roaseau's attention. Offers to Find Missing Man. Jan. 11 he called on Patrick Kelly, the brother of tbe missing man, and offered to take him to his brother In New York for $500. He said he and Owen Kelly belonged to secret socie­ ties that were organized for the pur­ pose of blowing up British ships In American ports. The valise he car­ ried, he said, contained explosives. Patrick Kelly notified the police and Rosseau was taken Into custody. The valise contained an infernal machine of the clock arrangement variety, but no explosives. About the machine was wrapped a Washington newspaper. This gave the police the clew that he might know something of the explosion at tbe statue ot Frederick the Great, and his picture was taken and sent to both the Washington and New York authorities. Sends Note of Wsmlng. He said that he made part of the Umbria infernal machine In Chicago and then took it to New York in a trunk. The trunk, ho said, was not strong enough, so he purchased one better suited for the machine. In New York be obtained a room at Mrs. Curry’s place and there finished the work of making the machine. He admitted writing the note to Police Commission­ er Green, which read: "The Mafia greets yon and wishes you well. The society has declared war against England and has ordered the destruction of ever steamer flying the British flag that sails out of New York. The society has undertaken to Clear New York harbor of British ships, and it will succeed.” It was this note of warning which led to finding of the trunk before it was placed on the steamship. Rosseau also admitted obtaining tbe dynam'te found in Ute trunk on lhe strength of the name of a contractor. Born in United States. Having learned all they could re­ garding his attempts on the Umbria and the statue, the police officials turned their attention to learning something of the antecedents of the man. He said be was born in Ameri­ ca and that he was a farmer. Where he was born and where his home is he would not say. He admitted that his name was not "Gessler Rosseau.” He said he had read much and that he was a student of social economy. He took the name of "Gessler Rosseau” because t-^o of bls ideals had those names—Albrecht Gessler, the Swiss dictator, who, tra­ dition say*, was kllle’d by William Tell in 1307; and Jean Jacques Rosseau, the French philosopher and writer, who died in 1778.

If she is not, then SHE IS JUST WHAT THE SYSTEMS OF THE PAST HAVE MADE HER. If her intellect was curbed io that she could not use it, how can we expect strength of mind! It is only through the use of the mind that it becomes itrong, and the more women learn to use their minds the greater their mental strength will be. Parents should, therefore, see to it that every girl has abundant opportunity to develop her own latent power, to give it practical expression, so that she can feel that the is a real necessity in the world; that SHE IS NO MORE DE­ PENDENT ON OTHERS THAN OTHERS ARE DEPENDENT ON HER. She must bring to life the spirit of independence and lelf reliance wherein she is not afraid to think and to act for herself. There will be fewer false marriages, fewer broken hearts, fewer ruined lives when the same self reliance enters into the woman’s life that is now to be found in the life of man. She will follow the dic­ tates of her heart RATHER THAN THE DICTATES OF CON­ VENIENCE, as too often occurs when entering into the marriage state. Some may think it will take away from tho chivalry of life. Bet­ ter that it should do so thsn that men should LOSE RESPECT for women. In the most flowery days of chivalry there was not tho same degree of respect for women as there is at tho present time, when she Is showing herself to be THE EQUAL OF MAN in many avenues of life.

WOMEN'S CLUB BANQUET �HASTINGS HERALD, THURSDAY, JANUARY 20, 1905. Washington Letter. Real Estate Transfers (From Our Regular Corre*|>onileut.) WARRANTY. Washington, D. C., Jan. 21, 1905. eoraP*Qte domination of congress Xivi® °iXtr?n e Protoetlonist8 has been 'Strikingly Illustrated during the past when the Ways.ud Mean. cSS­ ™ Km h®6.5onductl«f hearings onthe bin urged by both the president “?cre\ary of war, and which TKX?®8 lhaLbuE £ p°r oent- °r lh« Dingley tariff shall be collected on Phiiir Mi°d lob®?co, Imported from the Philippines and that other imports from the Philippines shall be admitted duty free. The president urged this legislation In his message as essential to the welfare of lhe archipelago and Secretary Taft has haunted the halls of congress trying to impress their duty in the matter on members of the lower house, but the fact that “hearings” have been held is regarded as indicat­ ing the unwillingness of the leaders to permit the passage of the bill. The fear that some protected Interest, and particularly the sugar trust, may suffer is leading such prominent republicans as Dalzell, Grosvenor, Payne and oth­ ers to oppose the measure and its chances in the house are Indeed slim, while in the senate they are nil. The course of certain members of congress believed to be controlled by railroads is being watched with ex­ treme interest by those who espouse the cause of the people versus the great common carrier monopolies. The pres­ ident has made it so plain that no mem­ ber of congress can be in doubt as to his duty regarding the railway rate 'question. The email shipper needs the protection of the federal government against the rebates and discriminations which have built up the great trusts of the country by methods conceived aod first practiced by the Standard OU com­ pany and since adopted by every sue■ cessfu) trust. Despite these facts, how- ■ ever, there seems to bi a set determin- | ation to prevent adequate legislation : -and the opposition is developing in i most insidious form. Astute members of congress are resorting to their favorlte tactics and less wise members ■are making their usual blunder*. The uninitiated senator or repre­ sentative takes it for granted that the best way to kill a bill, or defeat a policy, to to speak against and vote against it. Hot so the initiated. He appreciates ahe danger of such a course where tbe •T>ill or policy commands popular respect ■and he therefore poses as its friend, but -he is too solicitous. With a determin­ ation to secure “full, and complete and --accurate knowledge on the subject” he persists in bringing in witnesses who take up tbe time of the committee hav­ ing the measure iu charge, until It be­ comes too late in the seaion for action. This is called “strangling in commit­ tee,” and is the favorite method of Senator Elkins, Representative Dalxell, General Grosvenor and similar "statesmen.” Another favorite-prac­ tice, especialI v with measures of nation­ al importance and affecting the rail­ roads, is to amend the bill with the professed purpose of strengthening its -provisions, with the real purpose of rendering It unconstitutional so that after the government has pressed it in the courts at great cost of money and time it will fall before the supreme court of the United States. These are the methods employed by the astute statesmen, buttbey nave still another to fall back on. As a last resort, they excite the radicals in congress to a pitch of enthusiasm which utterly be• clouds their better judgment and leads them to insist on such extreme legi.latioo as to insure ultimate defeat for tbe measure which they have been instru■ mental in amending. All of these methods will be employed before the opposition will allow tne re­ medial railway legislation urged by tbe president to be p aced on tbe statutes. The friends of the administration and the democrats, will exercise the utmost vigilance to prevent tbe success of any of these methods without a complete exposure of the perpetrator, whoever he may be. Of course, a majority will rule io any event, but it is regarded as . almost as important that the snakes in . the grass be exposed to the public gaze . as that the legislation itself be enacted, ■ as such exposure will insure the ulti. mate success of the legislative policy. The indications are that the Stute>hood bill, in which noone to particular­ ly interested, other than Senator Bev• eridge, who Is prompted by motives of .personal pride, will fail of enactment at this session. It seems certain that the democra's in tbe senate will rote -solidly against it and a considerable Dumber of republicans will either vote against it or absent themselves if a day is fixed for a vote. In the opinion of -the democratic leaders the only hope -ahead of the measure is that it may be ohorn of ail provisions referring to Arisons and New Mexico and then mamroi, so that it will have the effect of -creating a single state out of the terri­ tories of Oklahoma and Indian Terri­ tory. Decency and good order have tri­ umphed in tbe bonne of representatives and articles have been adopted Im­ peaching Judge Charles Swayne of tbe northern district of Florida. There to some slight question as to whether the senate will hear tbe case this session but the leading lawyers in the upper chamber believe they should do so nod their views will probably prevail. This will be tbe first impeachment case heard by tbe senate since the impeach­ ment of Secretary of War Belknap, in 1876. Tbe decision of the bouse to im­ peach was a noteworthy triumph for tbe democrats, Speaker Cannon and other republican leaders having exerted their utmost influence to save Swayne from triaL despite the fact that it was unanimously admitted that he bsd falsifled hit expense accounts and that it wan generally believed that he had been guilty of other and more serious offerees.

In the forefront of the op­ position to the Mormon senator looms Senator Frederick T. Dubois of Idaho, who is really the moving spirit in the Investigation. He represents a gentile population that is making what It terms a life nnd death struggle ngnlnst the Mormon element Senator Dubois says the Mormon church now holds tlte bnlnnee of power in tbe states bordering Utah, anti the gentile voters must fight its influence unless they are willing to come under Its domination. He hns for years been the uncompromising foe of Mormonism. He was born In Illinois iu 1851 mid graduated from Yale college In 1872. In 1SSO he went to Idaho and entered business and in 18S2 was appointed United States marshal. It was in this position that he Incurred the hostility of the Mormons, for lie exerted Ills In­ fluence toward their disfranchisement in Idaho, it l>eing then a territory. Several times the Mormons sought to quiet him, but he remained their in­ veterate foe.

Among the propositions which tbe state grange are urging upon the legis­ lature is Lhe old scheme of uniformity of text books under state control. Pre­ sumably a measure of this kind is to be introduced and fathered by the grange under tbe support .ion that the interests of the rural schools will be furthered If such legislation Is passed. There may be some advantages in a uniform text book system but that they are sufficient to off-set the objections to it, wo think is very doubtful. Perhaps it would be more accurate to aay that the advantages to be secured by uni­ formity are likely to prove more Imag­ inary than real. It would, of course, be the purpose of such a law to make school books cheaper, to Introduce sys­ tem where confusion now prevails and to put an end to such practices as con­ stant changes in text books and the abuses which such changes make pos­ sible in tbe transactions between book concerns and school boards. - Undoubtedly, the state can-go into the school book business and effect a considerable saving to the tax-payers in tbe way of cheapening tbe prices of books. But is there any more reason why the state should go into tbe school book business than that It should under­ take to supply clothing for all the school children? As to uniformity be­ ing iu the interest of better text books there is grave doubt. The competition now existing serves aa a strong stimu­ lus to publishers to make improvements in tbe character of their books. The leading school book houses are on the alert to make their books better than those ot tbelr rivals. Tbe result is that every new grammar, every new reader, every new geography published has new and attractive features, all tend­ ing to make tbe work of tbe teacher more effective. Now if tbe state enters upon this business, making contracts for a term of years with one firm to supply a certain arithmetic or history, it is evident that for tbe time being all incitement to make Improvements in the arithmetics and histories for Michigan schools will be removed. The state will be bound to use a cer­ tain text book in history, no matter what better book may have been put forth in the meantime. It must be admitted that the present method of adopting text books admits of serious abuses, especially in the cities, where the action of school boards on text books involves important finan­ cial considerations. The big book houses know how to lobby with city boards of education and unfortunately there is reason to think that corruption, bribery and graft are evils not unknown in these bodies. But what would be gained in this respect It tbe fight for tbe adoption of school books were trans­ ferred from lhe municipal school board rooms to the capital at Lansing? The Make to be played for would be vastly greater before a state board or commis­ sion having power to select text books for tbe state than it can possibly be at present. Ou tbe whole, then, we cannot see that any decided benefit would accrue to tbe people of Michigan it state uni­ formity of text books should be attempt­ ed. Possibly if county uniformity were adopted, lhe change might be found satisfactory. Such a scheme would tend to afford some degree of economy and system, without destroy­ ing competition between school book firms, and at the same time would avoid the necessity of creating a state commission that might easily become a pernicious machine, whose workings would be harmful to the best Interests o.' public education. An Old Question Revived. The old question whether capital punishment should not be restored as a penalty for murder is being revived. Tbe prevalence of the crime of homi­ cide has awakened doubts in the minds of many public men as to whether our penal laws are severe enough to deal with, this appalling evil, and the intro­ duction of a capital punishment meas­ ure in the leg! lature is evidently an attempt to cope more successfully with <hls crime. Admitting that there is cause for un­ easiness in the minds of all good citi­ zens over tbe prevalence of murder, it fo exceedingly doubtful whether tbe adoption of the death penalty will work any decided improvement. When men have murder in their hearts they are not usually deterred by lhe fear of punishment. The passion to kill blinds them to the consequences to themselves and it is doubtful whether one murder­ er in a thousand would be deterred from committing his contemplated deed ot violence if the penalty were hang­ ing or electrocution instead of life im­ prisonment. Indeed, it is possible that tbe dread of life imprisonment is great­ er in tbe minds of moat criminals thon that of the death penalty. To most nJ ids it Is an awful thing to be locked ar ihin the narrow confines of a prison call without propped of release until life has run its natural course. A speedy Infliction of the death penalty by tta w*y of tbe gallows or electrocution chair would be preferred by many crim­ inals. No doubt the only advantage of the life imprisonment law over the death penalty law in lhe minds of many convicted homicides Is the possibility of pardon or other mitigation of the sentence. Once let this possibility be removed by a more rigid enforcement of the sentence and the certainty of life imprisonment would be as strong a deterrent as the seemingly more drastic law of a life for a life. Then if the literal enforcement of the life imprisonment penalty can bo made the inevitable consequence of the crime of murder in the first degree, there seems to be no good aud sufficlent reason for abandoning it. And unless there Is very strong ground for believing that the crime of murder can be thus checked, there can be no possible justification for the proposed change. Tbe proposition of the state becoming a taker of life, a shedder of human blood, is in itself repugnant. A legal hanging or electrocution Is at best a brutal thing, and the spectacle of an execution la not in any way hu­ manizing or elevating in its influence upon the public mind and conscience. On tbe whole, therefore, it may well be questioned whether a resort to capi­ tal punishment, even In a modified degree, would not be a step backward towards barbarism. Rather let the present penal laws be thoroughly and vigorously enforced. Michigan as an enlightened, Christian commonwealth oao not afford to adopt harsh and de­ grading methods of punishment, nor is there any reason to believe that the enlightened opinion of tbe state is se­ riously demanding the return to this manner of dealing with the crime of murder in the first degree. The Russian Crisis. Sunday’s outbreak at St. Petersburg, with its cruel shedding of innocent blood has turned tbe breathless atten­ tion of the world to Russia. The ac­ counts of tbe people’s gathering and marching to the winter palace to lay their humble petitions before their “little father,'* the military precau­ tions of the government to prevent tbe threatened institutions, tbe deliberate shooting down of the people, the frenaled, pitiful rage of the multitude, tbe wfak helplessness of the well-meaning czar—all these things cause the mind instinctively to revert to the opening scenes of the French revolution. Whether Russia is about to be plunged Into the horrors that marked the emancipation of France from the tyranny that was crushing her a cen­ tury and a quarter ago, remains to be seen. Many of tbe conditions are atrlkingly similar. But it ts to be hoped that the crimes and excesses of that awful tragedy are not again to horrify the world. Nevertheless all observers of Russia’s present condition are agreed that a crisis has arrived that must result in tremendous conse­ quences both to Russia and to the world. For no great revolution can -take place in so vast a country, inhab­ ited by 140,000,000 people, without pro­ foundly affecting tbe history of man­ kind. No intelligent person can look with indifference upon tbe events which are transpiring in this land of bigotry and political and social oppres­ sion. Possibly the summary manner in which lhe czar’s soldiery have dealt with the Petersburg uprising may overawe for tbe lime his disaffected subjects. But it can scarcely be pos­ sible that a movement prompted by eylia no longer tolerable can be perma­ nently slopped by the sacrifice of a few hundred lives. It is more likely that the government’s harsh measures will add fuel to the flames. The long suf­ fering, deeply wronged people have been wonderfully patient, but the flood of wrong* which has been gathering for centuries is bound to sweep every­ thing before it when once it has broken it* barrier*. With a weak ruler like Nicholas II, with prestige shattered by a disastrous foreign war, with financial credit im­ paired, battle ships sunk, and the peo­ ple’s frith in their ruler gone, with the social and political fabric of the empire honeycombed with corruption, with the peasantry driven to desperation through suffering and want, an up­ heaval that will shake tbe existing or­ der of things to it* foundations seems inevitable. A Resignation Not to Be Accepted. old and that the day is fast approach­ ing when his mantle must be placed on younger shoulders. That day has not yet come however, as the intellectual faculties of the venerable president are yet vigorous and his bodily health good. There seems to be do reason why the university should at tbe pres­ ent time be deprived of his invaluable, administrative powers, bis ripened judgment and great personal influence. Some of the details of bis office, it is to be presumed, will be committed to younger hands, but he will be asked to continue to perform the higher func­ tions of tbe office which be has placed upon its present plane of dignity and influence. The pleasanter side of the incident is to be found in the universal love and esteem for the head of the university which it has revealed. No man in Michigan has done so much to elevate the standard of learning in this state, to place Michigan in the fore front of intellectual progress, as James B. Angell, the scholar, diplomat and edu­ cational leader, and it must be pecu­ liarly gratifying to him to know, as it is pleasant to the people of Michigan to assure him, that bis distinguished ser­ vices to the state are appreciated and that all citizens of this fair common­ wealth are not only willing but anxious that he shall continue to serve them in his honorable and inestimably useful capacity m president of their highest institution of learning.

Douglas’ Influence. Governor William L. Douglas, tbe reform governor of Massachusetts, has already given signal proof of his capaci­ ties for public affairs by effecting a set­ tlement of the great Fall River strike. That struggle between tbe operatives in the '.oUod mills and tbe owners hM been one of the most stubborn and at tbe same time disastrous strike* that have ever occurred In this country. The cotton industry of Fall River, the second in importance in the country, wm threatened with irrevocable ruin m lhe result of the straggle, millions of ddllar* bad already been lost, thou­ sands of people were threatened with starvation, aod a great industry wm apparently doomed to destraction. All effort* to settle the dispute had been futile and it looked m though tbe agony were to be prolonged to the bitter end. Happily the new governor wm ap­ pealed to, and entering upon his deli­ cate work holding the confidence of both sides in the struggle, himself a large employer of labor he hM been able to bring employersand laborers together and to effect a compromise which hM set millions of spindles to humming and converted lhe city of Fall River from a place of despair and gloom into) a busy hive of industry once more. Under his magic influence the operatives have accepted for the time being at least the obnoxious re­ duction in wage* which was tbe cause of the strike, aud both sides hare agreed to leave the question of wages on the one hand and profit* on the other to the judgment of Governor Douglas. So much for tbe influence of a man who by his record hM won the confi­ dence of tbe public mind. Tbe power of such a man m W. L. Douglas, a mao who dm dealt kindly, justly aod aym pathizingly with his employes, and at tbe same time hM shown wide caps ity to handle large financial measures, is the greatest asset a man can have fur success in life, and for the doing of things worth while. GHILO 63 TO DEATH FOUR YEAR OLD CHILD OF BERT GARRISON THE VICTIM. The Occident Occurred at the Gar­ rison Home White the Parent* Were Away. A terrible accident happened last Thursday night about 0 o’clock at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Bert Garrison, who live four miles south of the city, just over the lino in Baltimore. Mr. and Mrs. Garrison were away from home, having left their daughter, Eva, 18 years of age, in charge of the house and Frances, their 4-year-old child. Towards night Frances went to sleep and Eva, thinking to lie down for a little rest, also fell asleep. Suddenly* she was awakened by screams which were coming from the kitchen, and rushing out found her little sister en­ veloped in flames. Frantically she run out doors for a pail of water and had soon extinguished the fire, but loo late, for the child was already frightfully burned, dying that night about mid­ night. The child having awoke and finding herself alone, bad wandered into the kitchen and in playing about hod in some way caught her dress afire from the stove. The funeral was held at the Dowling church, Saturday afternoon at 1 o'clock. Rev. H. H. VanAuken officiated. In­ terment in the Dowling cemetery. A fine sense of duty and a delicate appreciation of the relations which his growing old age is establishing be­ tween. himself and the great institu­ tion over which he has presided so long have prompted Dr. Angell to tender his resignation as president of tbe University of Michigan. The only ef­ fect baa been to elicit from the board of regents a unanimous refusal to ac­ cept such resignation. To every one who knows lhe facts, however, this action of the regents is not in tbe least surprising. They could have done nothing else without doing violence to the wishes of every eon and daughter of Michigan. Dr. Angell’s days of use­ fulness are not oyer and he can not be spared.

The Sun parlor of the Wayne hotel, Detroit, was the Mecca of the editor* of Michigan last Thursday and to it came the pencil pushers and their bet­ ter halves from every quarter of the state. Barry county was well repre­ sented, J. W. Godfrey of Freeport, Mr. and Mrs. Leu Feighner of Nash­ ville, Mr. and Mrs. W. R. Cook, Mr. and Mrs C. F. Field, and John Dennis, being present. Regular sessions of the association were held Thursday afternoon, Friday forenoon and Friday afternoon, pre­ sided over by the genial Charles H. Newell of Coldwater. Among Lhe pa­ pers read was one by L. W. Feighner on “How to Deal with the Advertising Agent, the Directory Man and the For­ eign Advertiser.” It waa u good prac­ tical paper and called out considerable discussion. Will R. Cook was unanimously re-elected treasurer. Thursday evening wm devoted to “a continuous revel” in the Sun parlor of the Wayne. Social converse, dancing and a musical program made a delight­ ful variety. Mr. -Theo Quinby, man­ ager of the Detroit Free Press, had charge of the program and he proved to be a capital stage manager. Some of Detroit's leading artists contributed their services and the music they ren­ dered was of a very high order. The second part of tbe program was given by the twelve Navajo girls from the Temple theater, and by Mr. Raymond Hitchcock, starring in “The Yankee Consul," and playing in the Detroit Opera house last week. On Friday evening a banquet was .tendered the association by James R. Hayes, proprietor of the Wayne hotel. It formed a fitting close to a very suc­ cessful meeting, combining as it did a feast of good things served in elegant style, and an aftercourse of wit and humor dished up in inimitable manner by Toastmaster Henry R. Pattengill. The association, already indebted to Landlord Hayes for many previous courtesies, was placed under still deep­ er obligations for the magnificent ban­ quet which he tendered the members and their wives last Friday evening. The association, through their of­ ficers, are making arrangements for an annual outing in June, their destina­ tion being Halifax.

FATHER GOPON ESCAPES DEATH Thousands of Men Fall About Tholr | Loader, Who Carries the Cross at | the Head of the Protesting Crowd, I and Escapes Injury. St. Petersburg, Jan. 23.—Revolution broke out In Russia at 1:30 o'clock' yesterday, when Emperor Nicholas’ 1 loyal troops began firing on an un- 1 armed host of roji—^n people that ' sought, to march ittu e square of th® winter palace and present to him a pe­ tition for constitutional government Since that momentous hour it la esti­ mated that from 1,000 to 7,000 persona —men, women and children—have been shot down by the soldiers. In the general chaos It is Impossible to obtain reliable figures, but tbe esti­ mate of 5,000 dead acd wounded will doubtless be fully borne out. -It is reported that a body of strik­ ers tried to reach Tsarskoe Selo, where the emperor Is, but tho march­ ers were driven back by troops after a ran Ruin nr?’ conflict. Regiments Are Disloyal. The crisis which the emperor faces is no longer n strike movement It la no longer u movement by petition. It , Is a movement of armed common peo- 'j pie, with here and there a disloyal I regiment, against the government of |' the autocracy. That fact was demonstrated when a crowd of Father Gopon's followers attempted to cross the Nicholas bridge on the way to the palace square. This crowd was met on the bridge by solid lines of sold ten. “Disperse! Disperse!" shouted th® commander of the troops. Tbe crowd refused to halt. “Fire!" commanded the military leader, addressing hls soldiers. The infantrymen under him imme­ diately laid* down their rifles and re­ fused to shoot tbe peoph. Tbe Uhlans and Cossack regiments of cavalry, however, obeyed orders, fired on th® crowd and then charged It with sabers, Inflicting death and injury. Blood Dye® tho Snow. Time and again the soldiers charged other crowds attempting to gain tho palace square. When night fell th® snow in all the streets leading toward the proposed rendezvous of the people was red with blood. Mobs were arm­ ing in all sections of the outlying part of the capital. On Vasslti, or Basil, island, the industrial quarter, the workmen were erecting barricades and preparing to resist attacks by troop®. Meantime news of the bloody day’s work had spread'far beyond St. Peters­ burg. In Kolpino, sixteen miles from the city, it fired the Russian work­ men as they had never been aroused before. They found a leader, formed 30,000 to 40.000 strong and began a march to St. Petersburg, 1,000 or mor® of them to death. One Thousand Drop Dead. News of the uprising in Kolpino was telegraphed to the government and when tho Kolpino host reached the Moscow gate of St. Petersburg it was met by a tremendous force of troops. It refused to disband and the com­ mand was given the soldiers to fire. At the first volley 1.000 of the work­ men fell dead. Fifteen hundred or more were wounded b?* the soldiers' bullets. Then the workers halted and the military went Into camp on the scene of its triumph. . Martial law has been proclaimed and Prince Vasilchlkoff is in com­ mand. 8®lx® Dynamite Factory. The revolutionists are reported to have seized a dynamite factory on Vessill Ostrov irland. With such a resource at their command they can wreak untold havoc. Buildings may be wrecked with the dynamite and bombs may be hurled at the troops when the next fighting Is renewed. The bloody days of the Paris com­ mune are predicted for SL Petersburg. Czar Nicholas is yet safe. He re­ frained from visiting the winter pal­ ace all day, remaining at Tsarskce Selo. 'But the people have lost faith In the “Little Father." and it is open­ ly predicted that hls life will be taken, that lhe autocracy will be overtin own and that a republic will be set up on the ruins of despotism. Prlsat in ths Van. Father Gopon. holding aloft a cross and wearing the full vestments of the church, attempted to lead the people into the palace square. The soldiers mowed down hls followers by hun­ dreds, but It Is said they deliberately turned their rifles away from the priest. Father Gopon fell, but not from a bullet wound, and was enabled to escape to safety. 1-ater word was distributed amorg his followers that he would be at the!r head the follow­ ing day, when the people would be armed and would fight. Although in the fighting cf Sunday the people suffered heavily, they were not the cnly victims. Frenzied nt the sight of comrade*’ falling, wrpim nnd men attacked the military w’.il: bare fists, with table knives and Fabers without handles. They killed one general, stripped dozens of other offi­ cers of their swords and beat them unmercifully. Witt® May Dictator. It Is reported M. Witte will be ap­’ pointed dictator, racb an official b®-' ing deemed necessary to deal with the crisis. From Finland comes a report that the troops are openly mutinous. From Moscow and ocher places where It Is known the revolutionists have hun­ dreds of emissaries In lhe army, news Is awaited with extreme anxiety.

Although frequently worn In town on cold, stormy days or nights, it is not what la known as a town coat, and in just so far ns it is given the finish of a town coat it loses its dis­ tinctiveness, individuality and style. The belt coats of the past seasons, which are. by the way. much less In vogue this year, while fashioned on the drier Hues, are In most cases only an adaptation of the ulster to conform to the slightly more formal requiroments of city dress and not ulsters in the real sense of tbe word. Their ma­ terial Is not heavy enough or sufficient­ ly rough or they nre too short or they have velvet collars or collars ami iapels too narrow. This is not always the case, aud some of them are mode ao long and roomy ns to answer nil the purposes of tbe cotfntry or traveling nl.trr, though without the broad collar that can be turned np so as to com­ pletely cover tbe neck nnd ears or the vertically set breast pockets of the old original ulster style.

The shape is much tbe same as that of the golf cap. but the brim. If It cnn be so celled, runs all tbe way nrouud nnd may be worn turned up, ns shown, or ished with rows or lines of stitching. Another good cap is tbe old English deerstalker of mixed cloth, with visor front and back and ear tabs folding up over tl»e aides; but, although to be found in moat of the shops, it does not seem to be much worn In this country.

GrtS-* M< Stows UseS In Burcninlng For Proeion. Stone.. The peculiar business methods of ori­ ental merchants are Illustrated by the manner of buying rubles lu Burma, says the Jewelers’ Circular-Weekly. In tbe exomlnation of rubles artificial light Is not used, tbe merchants hold­ ing that full sunlight alone cnn bring out the color and brilliancy of tho gems. Sales must therefore take place between l> a. m. and 3 p. m.. and the sky must be clear. The purchaser, placed near a win­ dow. has before him a large copper plate. The sellers come to him one by one, and each empties upon this plate hls little bag of rubles. The purchaser proceeds to arrange them for valua­ tion In a number of small heaps. The first division is hito three grades, ac­ cording to sire. Each of these groups Is again divided Into three piles, ac­ cording to color, and each of these piles Is again divided into three groups, according to shape. The bright copper plate has a curious use. The sunlight reflected from It through the stone brings out with true rubles n color ef­ fect different from that with red spl>ebi and tourmalines. which are thus easily separated. The buyer aud seller then go through a very peculiar method of bargaining by signs, or. rather, grips, iu perfect silence. After agreeing upon the fair­ ness of the classification they join their right hands, covered with a hand­ kerchief or the flap of a garment, and by grips and pressures mutually un­ derstood among all these dealers they make, modify and accept proposals of purchase nnd sole.

C., Jan. 28, 1905. An unusual and dramatic scene was presented In the house of representa­ tives this week, when, railroad rate legislation being under discussion, the •democratic leader, Representative •John Sharp Williams, appealed in his ■efforts to curb the power of the railway|J “We are committed to this proposition because it 1b democratic in principle,” declared Mr. Williams, “and I do not hesitate to say that we are glad to Und the president of the United States on the question is more of an American citizen, more interested in the welfare of al! people, than any particular democrat or republican.” Phen turning u> the republican*, Mr. Williams said.‘-We will toe murk the president’s tracks on this subject and we call on you as American citizens to help us to toemark them.” Mr. Wil­ liam*’ remarks were greeted.by a burst of applause from both sides of the ch&mb-r, although it was noteworthy that many <jf the republican ''leaders,** among them. Cannon, who was not in the chair, Dalzell, Grosvenor, Payne aud others failed to applaud and even ■looked disgusted. Mr. Williams’ remarks followed soon after a caucus of the democratic mem­ bers of the house at which It was de­ termined to support the president in bis movement-for railway control, such action, It hiving been urged, being dic­ tated by patriotic motives, which should «stand above partisan considerations. It is also true that the democrats in tilt senate will stand solidly in support of any measure cent over Irom the house which carries into effect the president's recommendations, although Ills entire­ ly possible, even probable, that Senator Elkins, as chairman of the senate com mittee on interstate commerce, will be ■able to prevent any measure of real value being reported to the senate. That there is no possibility of rail­ way legislation at this session is con­ ceded by those familiar with the legis­ lative situation. The senate leaders have craftily brought about a situation which precludes the possibility of any important legislative enactment before March 4. To accomplish this end they ionce more made a tool of the ever will■lag junior senator from Indiana, Mr. .Baveridge. Senator Beveridge, never ■loath to assumc a roll which makes him the center of attraction, gladly respond•ed and for days and weeks the statehood bill has dragged Ito weary way through the senate, Mr. Beveridge believing he was making progress, while tbe leaden -declared that “nothing could be done until statehood waa disposed of” and all the while were laughing in their ■sleeves. Now it has become evident, ■even to Mr. Beveridge that be cannot pass his bill, but he does not even now know that he has been made the cate-, paw of the leaders. The best policies of the president have no more specious friend, no more -covert enemy, than Speaker Cannon. The president recently declared that any government employe who exerted influence with member* of congress to obtain an increase of salary must be discharged. Thia did not please Mr. Cannon, who is an arrant spoilsman, and he immediately passed the word that “lump funds1’ must be abolished, and so they are being. “Lump funds'* are appropriations made in lump earns for the several departments, so made that the respective cabinet officers may, at tbeir discretion, reward worthy em­ ployes with increases of salary. Op­ posed to the “lump fund*’ lathe ' statu­ tory roll,*' that is, a list of places for which congress tixei the salaries. ■Clerks in all departments are being transferred to the statutory roll so that their salaries cannot be increased ex­ cept by congress and those who actually deserve and to whom thelrchiefs woulo like to give Increases, must appeal to members of congress or go without. Another Instance of Mr. Cannon’s ■ efforts to defeat the wishes of tbe presi­ dent recently came to the attention of your correspondent. The president extended the civil service classification to include some GOO employes appoint­ ed as “laborers” but doing clerical work and having served several years As long as they were “laborers” they could not be paid over *75 a month. Several secretaries wished to promote the more efficient of these employes and to that end asked the president to In■clude them in tbe classified service.. ■He did so and immediately the house* (provided that clerks su classified should receive a maximum salary of *75 a month, thus defeating the intention of the president and demonstrating to the ’ clerks that they must acquire “influ­ ence” with congress if they ever hoped to better tbeir condition. Instances without number could be cited where congress has covertly de­ feated the efforts of the president toestablish an efficient civil service where merit should gain promotion and po­ litics! influence prove ot no avail, where tbe faithful, trustworthy em­ ploye, rather than tbe political hench­ man. who never fails to go out in his district and hustle for the re-election of his congressmen, should win recogni­ tion, promotion and increased remuner­ ation. Usually these tricks of congress are too obscure and too complex to make it possible co expose them Id a news­ paper article. The public docs not un­ derstand, rarely can be made to under­ stand and, too often, does not care. "It is none of my busine*. anyway, aud it is to deep for me to understand. I havnt the time, anyhow,” says tbe average “good citlxen,” and he goes his way entirely oblivious of the fact that what tbe president is trying to do by means of civil service reform is to cheapen the coat of tbe government to every citizen of the United States by making it an object co the government employe to render the most and the best service of which he is capable. Of tbe average citizen It may be said, with apollgles to Kipling, SUCCESSOR TO CHOATE. GOING OUT INTO THE WORLD.

Some may retain their homes, but they must find new occupation, and mingle with new people, and have more to do with what lies outside than inside their doors. But for many it Is leaving a home, perhaps’even the place where they have lived. Now It is a matter of great moment how they start out. To take care of one's self means a great deal. We do not know how much we depend upon others for advice and care until we are separated from them. We will suppose our young friends are seeking employment to make a liv­ ing. We want to talk to them a little about that; we won’t say advise, be­ cause young people do not always like advice, or lake it. It is no fault of yours that you do not know the world os you will find it. We who have lived in this world, and mingled with its peo pie, and seen its ways have learned to know it slowly. You want a |>osition as it is called. You will scarcely step into a good place right away. You will probably have to do a good deal of asking, and seek­ ing.

Rude­ ness tells to the disadvantage of boy or girl, it speaks conceit, pride, ill-tem­ per. Quarrels and fights begin in rough coarse speech. It is bad enough in a boy, It Is worse in a girl. No one appears more ridiculous than ihe boy who attempts to show off, using the speech of some bully, the girl who things she will show her importance by being saucy. On the other band, good manners always win respect and kind­ ness. Many a youth owes his advance­ ment in society and in business to his uniform politeness, and many a one has lost a good position by his uncouth, coar»c manners. In the company of the shop or the boarding house you will very likely bear profane and even Indecent lan­ guage. Do not think you must adopt either.

But your time will not all be spent in the shop or factory. You must have society aud recreation without, espec­ ially for your evenings. The evenings of young people may be for their wel­ fare or their serious Injury. Be care­ ful with whom you associate. There are several characters that you should not keep company with.

Take t-oine reliable rerneky for it to-day—and let that remedy be Dr. Bosehee’s German syrup, which bus been in use for over thirty-five years.

One of them told tbe story of Forrest’s experi­ ence In the west, which was not only of Interest In itself, but also a tribute to tbe art of the actor. The play was “Vlrginlus,” and For­ rest was at bls best In the scene where he slays his daughter tbe audi­ ence was almost stricken with awe, and not a sound was heard until tbe scene was concluded, after which the artist was greeted with overpowering applause.

Tbe recent uprising ot the Russian Industrial claase* in 8k Petersburg and Moeoow he* apparently been sup­ pressed. Repressed would be a better word. Tbe eeaancipaUon of the Rusdan people baa been forced backward, not under, b/ tbe cruel arm of military power. Tbe demonstration of discon­ tent baa been sternly rebuked and cowed Into silence but tbe discontent ia deeper than ever. The unorganised ■oba ot tbe proletariat have been taught the terrible lesson that tbeir “Little Father," as they fondly call tbe onm, will not or can not listen to them, and that they have nothing to hope from tbe autocrats who control the reuoprees ol the empire. So, although- there seems to be sub­ mission among the recent strikers and rioters, it is Inevitable that the forced quiet will again be broken. The move­ ment for reformi which so alarmed the government a few days ago cannot in reality be stopped. The wrongs of the people are too deep to be longer sub­ mitted to, and reforms are bound to come, either by tbe initiative of the government forced on by this principle nt self preservation, or by revolution. No doubt it will be vastly better for Russia if tbe csar aud his advisers, recognising the responsibility that Is upon them, and correctly interpreting the meaning of roeent events, shall In­ stitute such reforms as will give the people such degree of political and so­ cial freedom as they are capable of ex•reUing. No'thoughtful person will maintain that tbe Russian people are at -present fitted for full self govern*sent. To place tn their hands at tbe very start anything like tbe civil free­ dom and self government enjoyed to­ day by Americans aud Englishmen would no doubt be a serious mistake, Two apt illustratioQS of the evils which follow tbe placing of civic responsibility to tbe hands of people unprepared for self gvernment come to mind. Tbe one waa the casq bf tbe French people who when released from the tyranny of the Bourbons, plunged Into the mad­ dest exo Basse and enacted the bloodiest tawredy In the history of nations. Not until the overthrow of the third Napol­ eon and tbe establishment of the pres­ ent republic upon the ruins of the com­ munal government that followed did Frenchmen learn self control enough to maintain a government of tbe people. The other case is that of tbe southern ne­ groes who when they bad just emerged from slavery were given all the rights of American citizenship, the results ot .which have been so manifestly dis­ astrous that all agree today in deplor­ ing the policy as a grevious mistake. ribc if tbe Russian government ob­ stinately and blindly refuses to profit by the lesson of the hour there must come a violent eruption sooner or later which the shooting down of a few un­ armed citiseos in the streets of Su Petersburg will not stop. And if it comes, the responsibility for all the borrow that will follow will rest upon • bigoted and unspeakably selfish au­ tocracy- . Mt. Waters* Resolution Representative Waters of Mauchesler has introduced a resolution in the house declaring tbe present tax com­ mission unsatisfactory and providing for a special committee “to devise ways and means whereby the said commis­ sion may be decreased in numbers, and expense thereof reduced and bs powers and duties limited Bnd definedTbe resolution passed the bouse, but will come up for reconsideration aud pos­ sibly will yet be defeated. Nevertheless, there is good reason for taking such action os tbe resolution calls for. The tax commission, orig­ inally ernsiating of three members, was created for tbe purpose of solving the vexed problem of equitable taxa­ tion, but it can not be said that it has entirely succeeded iu this purpose. True it has made some progress, but its work has been attended by much tact­ lessness and bungling, so that although it has unearthed much unasaessed prop­ erty and placed it upon the tax rolls and although it has corrected much injus­ tice and discrimination in the matter of taxation, it at the same time has created an impression in tbe public mind that the commission Itself is ar-’ bitrary and offensively meddlesome in interfering with local officials. Moreover the Impression has gone forth that the commission is dominated by partisanship, and that it favors the railroads. There Is reason for this in the unnecessary increase in membership from three to five at a time when the railroads became especially concerned In the doings of the commission, and in the foolish action of Commissioners Freeman and Sayre in helping the railroads in tbeir suit against the state by giving affidavits calculated to great­ ly strengthen their case. Tbe Herald has it on tbe authority of one of the commissioners themselves that there was no necessity for 'increasing the number of members. . Tbe fact can not be gainsaid that, as Mr. Waters' resolution expresses it, while the law was founded on the best Intentions, its increased membership has made it “burdensome to the pub­ lic” and tbe commlsflon “hrs miscon­ ceived the spirit and intent of tbe law of its creation, whereby the same has become obnoxious to the people.” At tbe same time the abolition of the com­ mission after so much preliminary work has been done and the abandon­ ment of tbe attempt to establish a just and uniform scheme of taxation for all property in the state, would it seems to us, be a serious mistake. . It must be admitted that the present law has worked-unsatisfactorily but it is better than no law. The sensible thing for our legislators to do in tbe matter, as it looks to us, is to provide a remedy for the defects that the tax commission law has developed, and give it further trial. If the present board is made up of men who have betrayed their trus^ or have proved incompetent, there ought to be a way of getting rid of them and substituting in their places men who will carry oht the law in its spirit and intent. There is a most valuable work for this commission to do, and If it Is faithfully and well done, the people will not longer condemn but approve. •• A Selfish Protest. year means an additional cost to the American people of about #15,000,000 in tbe cost of this staple article. Would tbe people then have serious cause to grumble if legislation were passed that would prevent such a bur­ den being placed upon them? As a matter of fact, however, there Is not the slightest chance that the Philippine bill would bring any such consequences, nor is there tbe remotest excuse for the beet sugar men to raise such a sel­ fish and unjust protest against the bill. Tbe measure ought to be passed. Why Abolish It? Tbe attempt of Superintendent Mar­ tindale of Detroit, to abolish the eighth grade from the city schools must be looked upon by sane people as prompt­ ed by a desire to do something new and sensational rather than beneficial to the schools. There is no other theory ou which such an unnecessary movement can be accounted for. It is proposed by Mr. Martindale th take tbe child of twelve years of age and set him down in the high school, direct from the seventh grade. The claim is made that this boostlog process can be followed without detriment to the child, on the theory that tbe eighth grade work can be crowded into tbe seventh and ninth grades. The people of Detroit ought to pro­ test against this preposterous innova­ tion. There is too much crowding ahead of children even now and tbe abolishment of the eighth grade will only aggravate matters, ft would be more consonant with common sense to lengthen tbe high school course to five years than to shorten the course below the high school. Graduates of tbe eighth grade find the highschool work sufficiently bard to tax their mettle severely. How will it be if they are put Into the heavy studies of a modern high school course a year younger than now and with a year's less experience and training than they now obtain? But there is another objection more serious than the one we have just named. It should be borne in mind that a large percentage of children never enter the high school at all. They receive all their school training in the first eight grades. To this class of students the cutting off of tbe eighth grade will be r serious late. It may be claimed by friends of tbe Martindale plan that tbe present work of the eighth grade is not satisfactory. But this is a very lame objection, amount­ ing as it doee to a confession that those who are responsible for establishing tbe course of study have failed iu their duty. For it surely will not be main­ tained that the eighth grade work must of necessity be useless. If it is Dot sat­ isfactory what is to hinder Its revision so as to overcome present defects? It is not likely that the proposed dropping out of an Important grade from the schools of Detroit will prove to be anything more than a passing fad.

Sec­ retary Taft, than whom there can be no hotter authority, has gone before the ways and means committee of tbe house and declared that there is no danger of the beet sugar men being injured by competition with tbe Phil­ ippines. He showed that there was no possibility of sufficient sugar being im­ ported from the Philippines to affect tbe American market. All the sugar that cur home produc­ ers can place upon the market 1* but a fraction of tbe total consumption of sugar in the United States. The out­ put of sugar in tbe Philippines last year, according to Secretary Taft, was 200,000 tons, and it all this were im­ ported into this country, it would not materially affect tbe market. As a matter of fact, 30 per cent was con­ sumed at home and most of the bal­ ance soot to Hong Kong. There is absolutely no danger ot hurting the American sugar producers by tbe proposed reduction on Philip­ pine sugar, as Secretary Taft clearly shows. But even though such a meas­ ure should result io lowering the price to tbe American consumer, how much of a disaster would it prove to tbe mil­ lions of American consumers, who arc now being held up by tbe rapacious sugar trust? Today the retail price of granulated sugar is a cent higher than it was a year ago.

No offi­ cer in tbe regiment won more praise for courage nud military ability than Frank White, then a major in tbe regi­ ment, now retiring governor of tbe state of North Dakota.

One day last week Dennis O'Connor and Bertie Dubois had an experience which they do not care to repeat. They went to the residence of A. H. Nobles to split some wood and after working a while became thirsty. Mr. Dubois went into the house, asked tbe hired girl for a drink and received some water which was quite warm. He concluded that he could wait awhile. In a abort time Mr. O’Connor went in and also received some warm water. He was quite thirsty so drank some and also offered Mr. Dubois a drink, and be also drank a little. Both commenced work again but it was only a short time before tbe water com. menced to boil and O'Connor started zo open his mouth and let the contents of his stomach come up. Dubois followed suit. They bad quite a time. Finally becoming alarmed they went to Dr. D. E. Fuller, wbo informed them that they undoubtedly had suffered from lead poisoning. It seems that tbe water pipe runs close to tbe furnace and beau tbe water. Mr. Nobles’ people were aware of this fact aud consequently let the water run until it was cool before they used it.

SOME HOPE FOR iMFECILES lylttle Ones ot This Class Are Often Made Into Useful Citizens—Blames Beer and Coffee Drinking for Dull* nee*. , New York, Jan. 30.—“Idiot children should be put in a dog pound and drowned." This is tbe disposition that would be made of unfortunate human beings if Dr. Brown of the board of health had his say. Id explaining the sys­ tem of classification recently adopted by the school board for the disposal of backward children. Dr. Brown made this statement: "Every child with tne slightest de­ ficiency receives a special examina­ tion; and If he be. bVnd or deaf he is sent to an institution where that deficiency is given special treatment and possibly cured. In like manner an imbecile often is made into a use­ ful citizen. But for an idiot there is absolutely no here. When it is found that he is too far gone for the sur­ geon’s knlfe4o help his lite had better be extinguished. No Time for idiot Children. "Idiot children should be drowned. We then have more time and energy to spend on children in whom there are the possibilities of success. "For imbeciles who have less men­ tal depravity and the week minded pupils we have training classes. In these a great deal of manual work is taught, and the boys are trained to be expert carpenters, while the girls learn to cook and to sew. "In another class we teach the ‘slow.’ This lst called the coaching class. Boys and girls In these classes often make the best students and the biggest successes in later years, but , they are for some reason slow of com­ prehending. By separating them from their classmate; the norma! children are allowed to go ahead and learn as fast as they please. "Then there is the unruly, lazy pu­ pil who is put In the disciplinary class. There are great hopes for him when he wakes up and sees the useless trou­ ble he has caused. Nevertheless, hia place is nol with the real student, whose ambition is to lead h<» . Liquor Brings Deficiency. "It Is a noticeable fact that the deficiency among the poor children who are placed hi the backward class is duo to a dullness which la often broqght on by. drinking beer and cof­ fee. With wealthy children, whose trouble often is due to a high-strling mental condition, coffee has exactly the opposite effect, and Instead of dull­ ing their senses makes them nervous wrecks. "Testa of various kinds are made on every child. If a child Is super­ affect kmato then the chances are that he Is weak-minded. If be Is unable to comprehend or reason rapidly and If bls memory Is poor, then, too, bo Is in need of the backward class. "Besides this metal test, a physical test also is made. A great deal can be told about a child by the shape of his ears and the formation of his mouth, his palate, and his tongue. Al­ most .any child that keeps the lower jaw dropped, and tongue hanging out, and eyes half closed, is weak-minded. Then, too, the child who. Instead of partaking in the games at recess, hangs off by himself In a corner, ia abnormal, and can bear watching, and In general Is a fit candidate for the backward class."

He says a thirty-five-foot dam would In only a small way affect any land along the shore that is not already subservient to the stream. The Santa Fe shops at Fort Madison, how­ ever, would be endangered if more than a thirty-five-foot wall was built. The peol formed above the dam would ektend practically to Burlington .and be a decided improvement to naviga­ tion, and a decided contribution to the general policy that Mr. Cooley thought the government should adopt, of improving all the great waterways of tbe country.

I EVERY SICK ONE HARD TO IMITATE. “That man can Imitate perfectly the jingle of money.” suit] In a tone of eu­ logy a young woman. “Well, what of that?” objected her companion. “That ought not to be hard to do.” “Try to do It” The objector, after summoning into his mind tbe sound of jingling money, tried. “R-r-r-tat-tnt,” he went “Br-brbm-ra-ra, chk-cbkk-clik.” Then he smiled apologetically, for he had failed. Not by the furthest stretch of the Im­ agination could It be said that be had uttered a sound that resembled mon­ ey'* Jingle In tbe least degree. “I knew you couldn’t do It" said the young woman. “It is amazing bow many simple sounds there are that we can’t Imitate, try a* we will. There la, for Instance, the sound of a person walking, tbe sound of a typewriting machine in operation, tbe sound of run­ ning water, the sound of a breaking dish. You can't imitate those com­ monplace noises, and I doubt if any one In the world can.

There was once In Cripple Creek an odd character named Burns.

When he and they were fa their cups some of them, with an eye to the main chance, managed to wheedle out of Burns on one pretext or another a deed of n share fa his mine. With royal prodi­ gality he scattered deeds about among his retainers and camp followers un­ til finally something had to be done, and tbe case was taken Into court Odo of tbe lawyers had Burns on tbe stand. “Now.

Tbe houses are 7 feet wide and 10 feet long, 7 feet high in front aad 4% feet at tbe back. Tbe Bills are 2 by 4 inch oak and tbe cape 2 by 4 inch pine. They have one window of Six lights 24 by 30 Inches in front nnd PEB8PXCTIVE VIEW, three feet from the grouud, one small window without glass, but a woodenShutter two feet square in the end op­ posite the door for light and ventila­ tion and two exits for the fowls In (rout. They have a platform tbe length af tbe bouse three feet wide under the perches to catch droppings. This is kept covered with dirt or dost. Between the dropping boards and tbe floor is a platform for nests. All tbe platforms and perches are removable. Tbe houses have earth floors. Esch bouse has one large door placed in tbe end close to tbe front Tbe exits are 12 by 16 Inches, placed close to the ground. On stormy days the door Is kept closed, tbe fowls going in and out through the exits. Tbe windows have strong, fine meshed wire nailed on tbe outside. Each bouse shelters sixty hens, and 1 keep ten cockerels with four flocks. They have unlimited range. Tbe -eggs hatch better than when a cock Is kept for every twelve or fifteen and some of the finer ones, soys a Maine breeder in Commercial Poultry. 1 fed for several weeks nnd had to throw away a large part of the clover. At Inst I got a bng of fancy middling* nearly ns line as Hour and used a good quantity of this with the other grain, making the mash quite •'doughy.” The grain adhered to the clover, and they would ent nil to get the grain. It wasn’t long liefore they would pick out the clover first. After they g c used to eating It up clean with the middlings there wns little trouble when I left them out. But I prefer a good quality of middlings iu the mash wheu clover la Included, ns they seem to like it better. No matter wlmt variety of turkeyn mny be selected for keeping, they should above all thlirpi be strong, vig­ orous, healthy and well matured, but not akin, soya G. E. Mitchell. Better secure the females from one locality nnd tbe male from another to insure tbeir nonrelationship rather than run the risk of Inbreeding. In all fowls It Is well to remember that nlze Is influ­ enced largely by the female nnd the color and finish by tbe male. Securing ov.crlarge males to pair with small, weakly hens Is not wise policy. A me­ dium sized male with good, fair sized females of good constitutional vigor and mature nge will do far better than the largest male with the smallest fe­ males. Coponizlug Is becoming more popular nnd more generally practiced than ever before. The caponlzlng of all tbe young cockerels Is the very best way to care for them, ns larger numbers of cdpons can be kept together this way than would be possible fa the natural state. They grow to a large size, are heavier and can lie sold for either capons or roasting fowls, whichever has tbe best demand in tbe market. Large flocks of Brahmas are handled fa this way throughout New England, nnd more profit seems to come from nueb disposition of tbe young males than is possible fa any other day.— Feather.

The hew depot at Freeport is being rapidly completed. who believe that a more comprehensive measure can be enacted at the special session which the president proposes to call. The president has decided not to attempt to force the senate to oct at this session and his present plan is «o cull a special session to revise the tariff and enact proper railway legislation about October. Some earnest members of congress are, however, urging him to Lake the tide of sentiment in favor of extending federal control of the rail­ ways at Its flood and call a special ses­ sion to meet t-bls spring, and wb’ > they have not yet convinced him ot the wisdom of this course he has taken the matter under consideration. If the senate were, like the bouse, elected by direct vote of the people, there is little doubt that senators would feel the ne­ cessity of u special session in the spring to meet the uetuand for this character of enactment, but under the existing clieumsLances senators are decidedly i Independent and they insist that if the president compels them to meet this spring they will adjourn without action. It is u constant occasion of regret to sincere democrats to see some of their numl»er stultifying themselves by vot­ ing for absolutely un-democratic bills, as they ■ id this week when the propo­ sition to pay a special subsidy to the Southern Railway of $142,728 was un­ der consideration. It is claimed t hat It is necessary to pay this sum to the Southern Railway in order to obtain quick mall service to the South, but the claim ie u specious one and those In a position to know the inside facts de­ clare that the Southern Railway would never take off Ilh fust train, even were It to receive no subsidy from the gov­ ernment. It Is not, however, entirely the fault of members of congress that they vote for such measures, but it is due, rather, to their home newspapers which too often insist on such caro of the railroads nod which would defeat, the representative who dared to vote against “the best home mail service.” A large majority of republicans and democrats voted this handsome present to the Southern Railway and there is little likelihood of its being cut off in the senate. The fallacy of the protective argu­ ment was never more strikingly illus­ trated than it has beet) this winter in connection with the tariff on wheat. For years the farmers have been told that they were protected by the duty of 25 cents a bushel on wheat, although the price has been fixed by tbe Liver­ pool market and the duty has never af­ forded tbe farmer a cent of Increased profit. This year, however, a shortage of bard wheat in the Northwest put up the price until tbe American farmers were receiving 20 cents more * bushel than their brother* just over tbe Canadian border. Of courM tho mill­ ers did not want to pay the extra price so they appealed to tbe secretary of tbe treaaury to allow them to import the Canadian wheat, pay tbe duty, grind it into flour, export it and secure, in the form of a dra*back tbe duty they had paid to the government. The secre­ tary of tbe treasury appealed to the at­ torney general for an opinion and the law officer ot the government hi* de­ cided in favor of the millers. Senator Hansbrough has, however, introduced a bill in Che Mnate which will prevent' the drawback provision ot Che Dingley Act tram being applied to wheat. The face of Chis bill which Is in the form of an amendment to the sundry civil ap­ propriation bill, will determine how willing tbe republican protectionhta are actually to pass legislation which will protect the farmers while it aotnewhat curtails the profits ot tho Minne­ apolis millers. gjiiE cocoa EXPERT Says: “RUNKEL brotiers COCOA fo tbe finest COCM made; an-article of absolute purity with the highest nutritive qualities and a flavor of perfection. ■fraoinr mreiii MlrvrereM. tt« toisdom ot TNE COCOA EXPUtT.

The Uekald has already commented at some length upon tbe ten­ dered resignation of President Angell and the refusal of tbe board of regents to a*ept the name. We are pleased to print this week an ad­ mirable likeness of Dr. Angell, together with a brief sketch of bls career. James B. Angell Is seventy-six years old, and is serving his thirty* fourth year as president of the uoivemity. He was born at Scituate, R. 1., Jan. 7, 1829, and was graduated from Brown University in 1850. Af­ ter traveling and studying in Europe three yearn be returned to bis Alma Mater as profe»sor of modern languages, and occupied tbe position seven years. From 1860 until 1866, during tbe period of the Civil War, he bad editorial charge of tbe Providence Journal, which was then one of the moot Influential newspapers in New England. He was called to tbe presidency of the University of Vermont In 1896, and remained In that office until 1871, when he was chosen presi­ dent of tbe University of Michigan. His administrative duties have not prevented him from serving tbo national government in various capacities. Early In 1880 he was ap­ pointed minister to China by President Hayes, bis principal mission be­ ing the negotiation of a new treaty bearing upon Chinese immigration to this country. This duty be fulfilled succe»sful)y, and resigned his office in 1882. He was appointed minister to Turkey in 1897 but resigned the next year in order to resume his interrupted duties as president of the university. In the interval between these two embassies, he was a member of tbe Anglo-American International Commission on Canadian Fisheries, io 1887, and chairman of tbe Canadian-American Commission on Deep Waterways from Lakes io Sea, in 1896. President Angell was lecturer on political eoonomv and internation­ al law from 1871 to 1880, and since then has conducted courses in inter­ national law and tbe history ot treaties. JOHNSTOWN.

She slipped a narrow black ribbon on the watch and reck­ lessly wore it all day. She did not dare to look at it or exhibit it to the girls, bat tbe knowledge that It was ticking steadily In ber belt brought comfort. '•Can I see tbe lady—the one wbc lost her watch?" she asked, and sin wm at once shown into a room with luxurious appointments. There was a log fire In the grate, with comfortable lounging chairs and books in every available space. It carried Myra back to those other days now dim in bet memory. •‘You have found my watch? How glad 1 am!” Tbe speaker came close to Myra, with outstretched hands and eager smile. She was as beautiful as any of the women whom Myra served during business hours. The girl laid the watch in the other's band. Surely with all Miss Shepherd possessed she could have spared this toy. but it wm hers, and she must have It “It was my mother’s,” said Miss Bhepherd softly. “That la why 1 can­ not thank you enough.

I want nothing." • “But I promised a liberal reward." “And I had it—all the week. The watch was such good company.” She did not mention the picture.. And to all Miss Shepherd's argu­ ments and entreaties Myra reiterated “No.” The picture held her firm. She could not take the money for tbat In the end she allowed herself to be persuaded to remain until the rain cessed and to drink a cup of tea. "Here’s Tom. You must meet him!" exclaimed her hostess proudly as the door swung open and there entered the original of the photograph. One look from Myra, nnd Bien her lashes drooped In embarrassment. The otbefs discussed the watch nnd Its re­ covery.

It is wisely suggested by the Hast­ ings Herald that more care be taken in the phraseology used in drafting or­ dinances. “Many of our ordinances,” says the Herald, “are ungrammatical, Involved in structure and ambiguous in meaning.” Indeed there Deeds to be more care about such matters. A slight mistake often makes a great dif­ ference. Some 25 years ago a legislat­ ive statute was vitiated on account of a period being inserted by the state printer where none was written. He contended chat be had ‘'followed copy” and produced tbe manuscript to prove It. A lawyer scratched off the period with bis finger. It was a fly-speck! A choir once broke down on a tune edit­ ed in the same manner, the profundo basso banging too long on what be de­ clared was a “dotted note.”—The De­ troit Tribune. We are glad the Tribune man agrees with us in this matter, but we rourt •ay that bis illustration doesn’t apply.

Notwithstanding the Cold Weather Over Three Hundred Birds Have Been Entered. 11.00 A Year Happily Wedded. There are weddings and weddings. Most, of them are provocative of min­ gled feelings of joy and sadness. But the one that occurred at the home of Dr. J. C. Andrus last Friday evening was one of unmixed joy. There were no sad tones about it. but it was pecul­ iar in three respects: No marriage li­ cense was procured or deemed neces­ sary; the event took place on Friday and not a man took part in the ceremony. The contracting parties were Mr. Glenna Pancoast and Miss Margaret Harper. It was 6:00 o’clock when to the strains of Mendelssohn’s wedding march played by Mias AnzolettaLombard, the bridal party took their places, the cere­ mony being impressively performed by Rev. Evelyn Kopf. First cams Miss Maud Smith, flower girl, followed by the four bridesmaids, Misses Frances Flowers, Florence Harper, Franc Lom­ bard and Bessie Warner. Next came the maid of honor, Miss Bernice Flow­ ers, and then the bride leaning on tbe arm of her father, Miss Wilbemina Bates. Miss Carrie Andrus acted aa best man and Mlns Edith Newton waa mistress of ceremonies. The bride was dressed in white and carried carnations, and the bridesmaids carried white muffs. In the evening at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. J. T. Lombard a recep­ tion was held from 7:30 to 10:00 o'clock. A number of functions were held during the previous week for tbe bride. It will next be in order to institute divorce proceedings. CENTENARIAN DEAD. Mrs. Lucy Myrick of Middleville Passes Away at Ago of 102. In tbe death of Mrs. Lucy Jackson Myrick, which occurred at Middleville Monday, Michigan loses one of its old­ est residents. Mrs. Myrick was born In Vermont, March 26, 1803, and lived there until 1825. Since that time she has resided In In­ diana, Illinois, Minnesota and Wiscon­ sin, finally settling in Michigan. Her husband, after 61 years of Happy mar­ ried life, died at Rochester, Wls., in 1884. Mrs. Myrick was tho mother of seven children, and it was at the home of Mrs. William Sbontell, the only sur­ vivor, that she was making her home at the time of ber death. She was the descendent of the hardy, Revolutionary stock which inhabited New England a century ago, aa was shown by her long and healthy life. She wss a Baptist and died peacefully in the full belief In a life beyond. Mrs. Myrick was in very good health until recently, convened freely on subjects of current interest and was endowed with a better memory than most people 25 years younger. The funeral was held yesterday con­ ducted by the Rev. Carey H. Conley of the First Baptist church. Considering the difficulties attending the first annual show of the Hastings Poultry Association, the event now in progress in the second story of the city hall may fairly be pronounced a great success. It was late in the season when the association was formed, and as the premium lists were out but a few days before the day set for the opening, it is really remarkable that so many entries were made. Then again, the roods have been nearly impassable for several days on account of snow drifts.

Grave Trouble Foreseen. The fate of the statehood bill has been practically sealed under the spur of the party whip and lash in the house. Speaker Cannon has bad his way and a rule has been adopted in caucus provid­ ing that the house shall insist on its original bill which combined Arizona and Indian territory in one state. In the opinion of the senate leaders such a bill has little or no show to pass that body and the prospects are that all of the proposed states will remain without the Union for at least another year and that the tedious fight for statehood will have to be renewed and foug’ . again in some future session of congress. In some respects, the decision of the house is u disapjxilntment to members of the senate, even those who ojqxh-ed sepa­ rate statehood for New Mexico, because they hoped to create a suite out of Oklahomaand Indian Territory nt this ses­ sion of congress. In the republican caucus there were thirty-three republi­ cans who opposed the'attitude of the republican lenders but the majority has ceased to rule io tho lower brunch of congress which is dominated by u little oligarchy composed of the speaker, Representative Dalzell, that distin­ guished and eminent statesman, Gener­ al Grosvenor,innd u few kindred spirits. The Swayne trial, which promises to be replete with unique incidents, has already broken a precedent in the sen­ ate. A woman has ascended the ros­ trum of the senate and addressed that venerable and dignified body for the first time in the history of the nation. The woman who assumed this unique roll was the proprietor of a boarding house in Texas at which Judge Swayne stayed and she was introduced by the Srosecution to prove that hie expenses id not amount to <10 a day as he had certified. The woman swore that Swayne stayed at her house at a cost of $45 a month during a period of which be had certified that his expenses were £100 a month and had drawn that amount fron the United States treasury on his certificate.

C., Feb. 11, 1905. “If It hud not been for tbe president there would have been no such legisla­ tion to be enacted by this house. It is the power of the president, the in­ fluence of the president, his firmness and bls courage that have brought this question to the imminence of favorable action by the republican majority." Thia statement was made by Represent­ ative D?Armond of Missouri when the railway rate bill was under discussion in tbe house and soon after Mr. DeArmond concluded his remarks the house passed the Townsend-Esch bill with only seventeen dissenting votes, six of which, unfortunately were cast by dem­ ocrats. The democrats signified their preference for the Davey bill by first voting for that, but when It was de­ feated by a party vote they aligned themselves on tbe side of some progress in the direction of rate control and voted for the majority measure. As soon os the bill passed the house it whs sent to the senate and promptly referred to the committee on Interstate commerce where it will undoubtedly remain until this congress expires, which will mean the death of tbe bill. Two reasons will contribute to this re­ sult. In the first place, the senate id working under pressure to complete tbe Swayne impeachment case, which is in full blast, and will doubtless have to hold numerous night sessions io ac­ complish the routine business before March 4. In tbe second place Senator Elkins, chairman of the committee on interstate commerce, is at heart op­ posed to any measure involving real re­ form of railway rates and, while pro­ fessing to be most friendly, will actual­ ly do all in his power to prevent tbe ac­ complishment of such enactment. His position renders bls opposition power­ ful and while, with ample time at t^e disposal of tbe senate, Mr. Elkins’ op­ position might be overcome, in the rush of the clpeing hours of a short ses­ sion such a light would be impossible. The president Is entirely reconciled to the unavoidable delay io carrying out his recommendations for the reason that he believes that delay will only serve to whet the demand of the public for such legislation and that eventually the country will secure from the sensle a more comprehensive and adequate measure than la the bill just passed by the house. There will be, of course, no trouble in getting the next bouse to pass a bill in conformity to the public needs and if popular demand grows aa rapidly during tbe summer recess as it has during tbe past few weeks the in­ sistence of the people will make itself felt even in i.he senate. The senate has determined to amend the arbitration treaties recently sub­ mitted by the preeident, despite the open letter of the president declaring that if any amendment were adopted be would withdraw them.. It Is de­ clared on high authority that if the treaties are ratified with an amend­ ment no effort will bo made to induce tbe foreign governments party to tbe treaties to concur in the change. This is perhaps true, but the highest au­ thorities have been known to change their minds and it is not impossible that calmer consideration of this sub­ ject may result In a changed attitude on tbe part of the authorities In the state department. Tbe one executive session during which tbe treaties were discussed demonstrated the fact that it would be absolutely impossible for tbe treaties to be ratified unless they were so amended that any subordinate treaties submitting a difference to tbe Hague tribunal would have to be ap­ proved by the senate. Senators Mor­ gan, Teller and Bacon all spok>> in favor of the amendment, if the treaties were to be ratified, allhough Mr. Mor­ gan opposed tho principle of arbitra­ tion itself and declared that in bis esti­ mation it would bo far better if the treaties failed entirely. It is not be­ lieved, however' that Senator Morgan will Insist on this view to tbe extent of filibustering. It is predicted with every show of confidence that the treaties will be ratified at tbe next ex­ ecutive session. —45M-.

Where there used to be a feeling of uneasiness and worry in the household when a child showed symptoms of croup there is now perfect confidence. This la owing to the uniform success of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy in tbe treatment of that disease. Mrs. M. I. Basford, of Poolesville, Md., in speak­ ing of her experience in the use of that remedy says: “I have a world of confidence in Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy for I have used it with perfect success.

Inoculation against smallpox preced­ ed tbe modern method of vaccination and was attended with a good deal of danger. Thomas Dlmsdale was the foremost advocate of inoculation. He Inoculated Empress Catherine of Rus­ sia. This was In 17418. There was con­ siderable danger to life in undergoing this artificially induced disease. Tbe czarina, therefore, arranged that dur­ ing the whole course of the iihiess of her sow and herself there should be re­ lays of swift horses kept constantly ready attached to carriages all along tbe post road the nearest way out of Russia.

She gave him an order of the most urgent kind from herself to tbe suc­ cessive postmasters not to delay him for n minute on any pretext.

Muscles That Shat Oat CeM. "The muscles of the skin need train­ ing to educate them to contract rigor­ ously on the slightest cold," soys a medical writer, "to shut the blood out of the skin so quickly that the precious body heat will not be lost. You notice that when the skin is eohl there Is a •goose skin* appearance. This to due to tbe contraction of the little muscles of the skin. The contraction of tbe muscles compresses the external blood vessels and drives away tbe blood from the surface, hardening and thickening the skin, which thereby becomes a bet­ ter nonconductor.

Damiom, Thomas Sullivan, Chairman. “Legalized Graft.’’ have been negotiated by Secretary Hay with eight of the European govern­ ments provide that matters ia dispute between the high contracting parties •nay by executive agreement bo re ferred to the permanent court of arbi­ tration. Under such a provision it would not be necessary for the senate to ratify the action of the president in submitting individual cases to the arbi­ tral tribunal. it can readily be seen that this prop­ osition involved at once the coostitu tional prerogative of the senate to have a part in tho treaty-making power. The Intention of these treaties is to provide a practical, efiective way of promoting peace between nations by making the principle of arbitration im­ mediately effective. With such a worthy purpose in view tbe president wrote a strong letter of protest to Sen­ ator Cullom, chairman of the foreign relations committee, against an amend­ ment to these treaties changing the wording so us to make it necessary for every special case to be referred to the senate for its approval. In his letter 1 the president said that the proposed amendment would be a step backward Instead of forward. He pointed out that these general arbitration treaties might as well not be enacted at all If the amendment were made, aa it would nullify the value of these treaties to­ wards the promotion of international peace. But the senate would not listen to tho president's argument. It is pro­ verbially and intensely jealous of its prerogatives, and not even Mr. Roose­ velt with all his influence, not even the promotion of such a high purpose uh the peace of the world could shake its loy­ alty to iu own precious prerogatives. By a vote ot 60 to 9 it refused* to listen to. the president, by adopting the amendments which saved its threat­ ened power. It may be that the senate is right in insisting upon being consulted in every case that may come into dispute under the general laws of arbitration. It may be that it is worth while to take what tbe president calls “a step back­ ward" for the sake of protecting the dignity of the senate. But to the ordi­ nary American citizen who is not sup­ posed to understand tbe importance of upholding senatorial prerogatives the action of tbe senate in nullifying an at­ tempt to promote the peace of the world will look like a selfish sacrifice to pride and conceitedness. .

A noteworthy thing about Mr. Hackley’s philanthropy was that he was con­ tent to lavish his gifts upon the com­ paratively small community in which he had made his fortune. Unlike most of the millionaires who hare made im­ mense fortunes in the small lumber towns of Michigan, he has stayed among the people who have witnessed bis career, and has lavished bls gener­ osity upon those who have helped him in tbe accumulation of bis wealth. There is u large measure of justice in this local philanthropy of Mr. Hackley’s. He was loyal to Muskegon and delighted in making it famous for its advanced public institutions. He was content to make his neighbors happy and to see tbe town in which he lived a center of education and culture. No wonder the people of Muskegon mourn tbe loss of such a loyal and valuable citizen. It has been vouchsafed to him however, to leave a far more enduring monument than most public spirited citizens are able to leave, in the mag­ nificent institutions which will continue to bless tbe city he loved long after his bones are dust.

Judge Clement Smith’s renomination by the republican judicial convention held at Charlotte last Thursday after­ noon, was a foregone conclusion. His excellent record and general popularity made such action inevitable and his. nomination by acclamation was a sur­ prise to no oue. We have yet to learn of any movement on the part of the democrats to place a candidate iu oppo­ sition to Judge Smith. The Herald has already suggested that it would be a handsome thing for the democracy of the district to endorse the nomination of Judge Smith and we have yet to learn of any objection to our suggestion. A tacit, though not actual, endorse­ ment, will.be effected if no action at all is taken and it may be that such a course will be followed. A similar course is being pursued in Kent county where tbe democrats are not making any contest against Judges Perkins and Wolcott, the republican nominees. Michigan Central Excursions.

Interest at Lansing will in a few days be centered on the primary election re­ form question. Gov. Warner, it is said, wants the legislature to pass an election bill. -Ho feels convinced that the people will not be satisfied unless legislation is undertaken along this line, and as he wants to be re-elected in 1900, he will insist that the popular demand be obeyed. As a preliminary to this plan the leaders of the legislature have been getting their beads together and, If re­ ports are true, are going to introduce a bill modeled upon tbe New York law. It should be understood, however, that the New York law is not the kind of a law which popular sentiment in Michi­ gan is demanding. That law does not abolish conventions but permits party organization to control nominations •ven more effectually than our present convention system does. । Instead et giving the* people the right to choose their own candidates it practically places this power absolutely in tbe bands of the political committees. If the Michigan legislature resorts to such a palpable makeshift as this with tbe expectation of satisfying the peo­ ple, the situation will be very interest­ ing and Gov. Warner may as well make up his mind that one term will be enough for him. But it seems hardly credible that the legislature will have tbe nerve to ask the people to accept a miserable subterfuge for genuine pri­ mary reform. The people are asking for bread, not a stone. 1905. Get Our Prices. 50c. Jersey Shirts, now 38c. 75c. $1.00 $1.75 « « “ ll “ 55c. ll “ “ 75c. $1.25 ll CHIDESTER & BURTON LEADING CLOTHIERS. TREATING A SPRAIN. The question of how to treat a sprain Is often raised. Everybody under­ stands the nature of a sprain; that wrenching of a Joint' whereby some of tho ligaments (those very useful bands which unite tbe bones forming the joint) are violently stretched or per­ haps even ruptured. This kind of in­ jury is rarely, except through unusual complications, dangerous in its nature, but it is certaihlj* very painful and when of a serious nature may result in the permanent impairment of tho joint Buch an injury, if at all severe, is im­ mediately followed by marked swell­ ing of the parts, and prompt attention should be given anticipating the sur­ geon's coming. The very flrat item in tbe treatment of a sprain is perfect rest of tbe limb until a doctor can be' summoned. Reduce the swelling by applications of hot foiueutatlons as hot as can be endured, changing about once in every three hours. If a piece of oilskin be not nt band use common newspaper. Wind it carefully outside the hot cloth. This will prevent the escape of the steam and prevent tbe cloth from cooling. A good wny to save the hands from being scalded Is to place the hot dripping flannel io a towel, then, taking hold of each end of?, tbe towel, to wring it until tbe flannel is dry enough to apply.

HASTINGS, MICHIGAN, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 23, 1805. __ ________ WISDOM FOR THE FARMERS they had a chance to imbibe LOTS OF IT AT INSTITUTE. A Variety ot Subjects Pertaining to Agriculture Were Ably Discussed. ft was unfortunate that the dates for the Barry county farmers' Institute conflicted with those fixed by the weather man for the worst drifting snow and vjlnd storms of the season. Owing to the drifted roads Friday morning it was simply impossible for most of the farmers to get to town. The only wonder is that any of them succeeded in reaching the court room by the time that President Edmonds called the institute to order. But there were a few present at the opening ses­ sion and during the afternoon they con­ tinued to come until the court room was more than half filled. Tne first subject taken up was Till­ age and Fertility of the soil, by H. B. Cannon who proved to be a plea dug speaker. In fact the wide variety of subjects which he handled during the institute, with equal facility and inter­ est, proved him to be a gun of wide range. Corn, the Culture, Harvesting and Feeding was then considered by L. W. Oviatt of Auburn. The afternoon session opened with a much larger attendance. H. B. Can­ non gave an Interesting talk on The Dairy Herd and Its Care. In his opin­ ion the cattle of Michigan are underfed rather than overfed. Our cattle should be given as much coarse feed as they can clean up. We in Michigan are for­ tunate in having many good feeds, plenty of good water and every con­ dition favorable. Cows must be kept Comfortable. They will pay for it. In buying a cow It is a better plan to investigate her milk producing capacity than to depend entirely on her appearance. A cow to be profitable ought to give 5000 pounds of milk a jear. Cows must be given careful and systematic attention, should be milked regularly and thor­ oughly, have good water and not too cold, barns should be well ventilated. The next topic was a kindred one, Making Money from Milk, by Colon C. Lillie, deputy state dairy commissioner. In discussing this theme he said the man is an important factor. It Is not necessary that tbex>wner should do all the physical work. Farmers do not em­ ploy labor enough. If they can not get men It is their own fault. The trouble is farmers don't bold out the proper in­ ducements. Young men will not go to work for a few months on the farm when they are to be turned adrift to find employment elsewhere the rest of the year. You must give mea employ­ ment the year artfund and furnish him a house to live in and the labor ques­ tion on the farm will be solved. Mr. Lillie emphasized tbtj importance of liberal feeding. Corn and clover are the most .important foods. Some succulent foods are necessary. Speak­ ing of silos he expressed his surprise that there were so few arouud Hast­ ings. Corn in silos does not lose more than from 3 to 5 per cent of its food value, while in its dry form it loses from 20 to 25 per cent. Plenty of sunshine and good ventila­ tion are necessary conditions to success­ ful dairying. Nr. Lillie then dwelt upon the importance of establishing in Michigan a uniform standard of ex­ cellence ia butter and cheese making so as to give these products as high a reputation on the eastern markets as those of Wisconsin, and he closed with a plea for state inspection, explaining the bill for that purpose now before the legislature. After a brief discussion of this sub­ ject led by Rev. H. H. VanAuken, Mr. Oviatt took up the subject of Rational Stock Feeding. He said that farmers many times fail to realize the value as fertilisers of commodities they sell on the farm. Often times fertilizers which they buy cost more. In regard to the dairy cow he Baid that in a ton of but­ ter there is only 30 cents worth of ferti­ lizers while oue ton of bay which ia fed, is worth as fertilizer 87 or 88. A report of the evening session which was held in connection with the teach­ ers’institute, Is given In the report of Che teachers' institute in another col­ umn. . , , Saturday forenoon’s session was called to order by President Edmonds about ten o’clock and L. W. Oviatt took up the subject of Profitable Pork production. Farmers who keep cows are usually the most successful In hog raising, on accou .1 of the milk for feed­ ing.

Earle of Detroit had to bo omitted owing to tho absence of Mr. Earle, who was unable to make railway connections in time for the session. Mr. Wallace then sang a solo, and responded to an encore.

Many of the teachers who had been unable to attend on Friday, were pres­ ent Saturday. Id the talk Reading in the Grammar Grades, Mr. Grawn said the child should be taught to read with accuracy, force and ease; gracefully, intelligibly and forcefully. In the address, What is the Best Thing We Can Do for the Child, were the following pertinent ideas: Train the child In habits cf regular­ ity; to rely upon himself. Teach a high ideal of manhood embracing accuracy, honesty, and thoroughness. The session closed at twelve o’clock. All the teachers are lavish in their praise of the work done by these in­ structors. No teacher but Is better for having come in contact with these im­ portant educators. They came to Hast­ ings full of enthusiasm, and from the constant ilow of beautiful thoughts and ideas, all were at liberty to retain those things which would broaden and ele­ vate the mind. May the future hold for all, many such meetings. Thus another victory has been accorded the untiring efforts of Commissioner Ketcham, in securing for the teachers of this county such talent as Miss Wise and Principal Grawn.

With this final reflection she com­ menced to read In earnest, bnt some­ how her mind went back to tbe very disagreeable young man who bad dis­ regarded tbe sleeping cor conductor’s request that he yield the lower berth to tbe young woman, whose Pullman ticket had been duplicated by a care­ less employee in an uptown office. She could not forget the real regret Id h><t eyes nor tbe nervous, embarrassed way in which bo had smoothed his hair while he was offering lite halting ex­ planation. She could not reconcile thia, however, with the fact that he had declined to climb the little steps in her stead. It was most annoying, she argued, that she could not forget a certain, fasclmdlon which his long, firm hand bad held for her and tbe hair be had smoothed. Sbe could imagine that he had spent bonrs trying to brush out a certain tendency to crisp curls. She was very glad there was something that could defeat him, If it was Nothing more than curls, and after deciding thus sbe was more content She did not see him again until she entered the diner at dusk.

MeClere Yankee Grange No. 248. a $ “Take my place,” be said eagerly, “and I will go over there with the men.” He had been occupying a seat at one of the small tables, and a gray baited woman was sitting opposite him. Amy saw all this at a glance, and with a surprised uplifting of ber eye­ brows and a mechanical “Thank you!” accepted tbe seat Tbe young man had not yet been sewed, and sbe realized that tbe change had not embarrassed him in the least “Quite willing to do things that do not Incommode him," she thought scornfully. Tbe young man did not presume up­ on tbe reception of this courtesy. Di­ rectly after dinner be once more retired to tbe smoking compartment, and Amy early ordered tbe porter to make up her berth. Once tucked snugly away, she forgot her grievance. Tbe steady dunk­ clunk of the wheels was a singular lul­ laby to which she soon yielded. It seemed as If sbe bad not been asleep more than three minutes when she awoke to the moat horrible noises that she had ever beard. What had happened? Had tbe train run Into a circus or a jungle of wild beasts? No, the train was still moving. Its unre­ mitting clunk-dunk could be beard at Intervals between tbe awful sounds which dow assailed ber ears. 'If it was not wild beasts, then maybe some one around her wns dying. Tills pretty, carefully reared, ever protected southern girl had never seen any one die. and in her ignorance of this and various other matters she was working herself up Into a fine frenzy. A particularly deep and agonized roar was followed by a sound that was a cross between a penny whistle nod a sob. Sbe could stand the suspense no longer. She pushed the tiny button and, carefully arranging the curtains, stuck out her bend to meet the look of In­ quiry in the porter’s black face. Up and down the car she gave a hasty glance. Apparently no one else realize:! the tragedy that was going on so close at hand, for no other curtains were swaying, no other heads were thrust out “Sumiln’ you want miss?’’ "Why—why, don't you hear that dreadful noise?" sbe said. “I think some one In the berth next to me is -lying." In tbe dim light sbe'could flee the darky's teeth gleam ivory white in n grin that reached from ear to ear. "It’s just tbe gentleman in the lowrr berth, miss, snoring. I will wake 31m up. Boon as be rolls over he'll stop." Amy jerked in her bead as If tbe por­ ter bad struck ber. Sba could feel him switch aside the curtains below her. Two masculine voices were wafted to­ ward her. then the sound of a deep grunt that was decidedly masculine— and silence. Up In her eyrie Amy lay, still flush­ ing hotly with mortification. She knew that porter would tell everybody on the train next morning. She wished slic could change cars. Then suddenly from tbe berth 1>e!ow the hated sound rose again. Evidently there was no respite from this infliction, and, oddly enough, she felt herself pitying tbe -nan who was responsible for It. It was really a disease, she decided, and lie was so young too! The next morning she met him face to face in the dining car. Iler checks were flooded with crimson. She knew by the quizzical light in his eyes Hint he iintl lien rd of her mistake, mid un­ doubtedly every one on the car knew it by this time and would consider It n fine Joke. She ate her breakfast In a resentful humor. She felt reckless and misera­ ble, and it may have been this mood which caused her to sway uncertainly flfl she crossed from the diner back to the sleeper. Sbe reached out a hand to steady herself against tbe side of tbe vestibule. Suddenly It seemed to her as If a sharp, redhot Iron liad been thrust into her finger tip and run up to her shoulder. She tried to draw away her band as a child does from a hot stove, but something held it tight, and then she awoke to tbe truth. Tbe train bad been swinging around a curve, and the Iron plaits, or folds, of the vesti­ bule, left uncovered by a careless em­ ployee, bad opened just far enough to admit lier linger and then hud closed upon It again. She was held u in n vise, and her calls for assistance could not be heard above tbe roar of tbe train. And so It happened that tbe “hateful young man” came upon her. white lipped and fainting. When they had pried the band loose lie carried her unconscious figure into the vacant drawing room. The conductor came hurrying up. greatly perturbed over the accident, which meant a damage suit for tbe company. He turned to tbe porter. "Hustle through tbe train uud find out whether there li a physician on board." Tbe young man spoke sharply. "1 am a physician. Porter, bring me that long, narrow black bag from my berth." . And so It happened when Amy woke up It wns to find the hateful young man deftly bandaging ber injured band. Tbe drawing room was placed at ber disposal by tbe anxious conduct­ or, and tbe entire train force was on its knees before her. The uncovered vestibule meant that some employee's head would fall Into tbe basket . Toward noon, in spite of tbe tenffle pain Id her crushed finger, Amy com­ menced to feel drowsy, thanks to the mild narcotic which Dr. McKean had administered. He plumped up tbe pil­ lows for ber, and sbe murmured drow­ sily, "I didn't sleep very well last night" McKeau bit his lip. “I was afraid you wouldn’t Jhat was the worst part of my having to put Mr. Carter In the berth with you, but I couldn't get him another lower In tbe car, and be stubbornly -refused to buy up a drawing room." ■ Amy felt suddenly wide awake. “Mr. Carter, why didn’t you”— “Lord. no. You didn’t think I was raising tbe roof of my berth, did you? Mr. Carter has been at a sanitarium Just east of Harrisburg. He Is a pa­ tient of my father’s, and bis people asked me to pick him up and bring him on to Colorado Springs, where 1 am visiting for a week or so. That’s what I was trying to tell you Inst night." A sudden light dawned on Amy. “Ob, it’s all the fault of that newsboy! I am going to tbe Carters myretf. They're giving n house party." “Yea, I know," said McKean. “I saw your name on your luggage. But now you’re going to.sleep, and if you don't mind 1 shall sit here beside you and aee you are not rocked off when we make a fast run." Amy dropped back weakly among tbe pillows. "No, I don't mind. I will be only too glad to have—ytm-tetay." Suddenly sbe raised ber heavy eyelids. "But promise me you will never tell— what—t saltl to the porter last night" Dr. McKean's eyes twinkled. "I promise on my honor.'* “I remember when I was a studsnt at Wyoming seminary.'’ said a clergy­ man, “a farmer came to Kingston to visit bls nephew. whom be was edu­ cating. •■The fanner had no arban polish. His tea when it was brought was very hot. and be poured It in his saucer, to his nephew’s great mortification. “Finally, unable to restrain himself, the nephew was so rude as to say: “ 'Uncle, why do you pour your tea In the saucer?’ “The old farmer looked up In sur­ prise.

He went over io the state capital one night last week and talked turkey to the timid senators, who, whil j haling primary reform from the bottom of their hearts, are afraid of lhe people, and hence dare not ex­ press their real sentiments. Mr. Poller told the senators that he did not believe in the reform bill and would rather see the republican party defeated than to see such a measure passed. He warned them of the awful results if the measure passed, such ns anarchy, despotism, and the jeopardiz­ ing of life, liberty and property. It can well be imagined how the trem­ bling statesmen turned pale with ap­ prehension os they listened to tbe elo­ quent words of the ex-senator who had come all tho way from Hastings to utter tho direful warning in their ears. No doubt the guilty consciences of Doherty and Baird and Atwood and Kelley smote them os they drank In the impassioned words of the sage from Barry county. Very likely they has­ tened from tho chamber as soon as its lofty walls ceased to re-echo the pro­ phetic words of the visiting statesman and—drank in something else. What a misfortune that the machine statesmen at Lansing who haven’t tbe nerve to come right out and defy the people, have no Potter in their number to inspire them with courage. The Last Russian Horror. The dangerous under-current of rev­ olution and anarchy, always present in Russia, has again manifested itself in the sudden frightful murder of a prom­ inent aristocrat and one who stands very near to the throne, Grand Duke Sergius. • Of course law abiding people the world over cannot but condemn such murderous acts as are so frequently committed by the embittered, revolu­ tionary classes in tbe czar’s empire. They are shocking crimes that form a dark and bloody record in Russian bis­ tory. But they must be regarded by thoughtful observers as but outward manifestations of tbe deep-seated and chronic wrongs under which the Rus­ sian masses are groaning. They are the rumblings that precede the earth­ quake. Sooner or later the general up­ heaval will come when -the civic insti­ tutions of the distracted empire will be overwhelmed. It remains to be seen whether the assassination of Grand Duke Sergius marks the beginning of a general up­ rising. It will probably aOt, as the better classes of the Russian ~ people will not approve of tbe bloq y tactics of the anarchists. But it cannot be doubted that tbe last shocking blow which these extremists have aimed at the government will add a heavy load of anxiety and dread to tbe burden which Czar Nicholas was already carry­ ing’ A reference to the topics discussed atthe farmer’s institute held la this city last Friday and Saturday is significant of the tendency of Michigan farming towards diversity, and intensity. The raising of wheat was not discussed, al­ though tbh was the principal crop a few years ago. Corn raising was con­ sidered, but’only as a means of carry­ ing on stock raising and fertilizing tbe soil. Much attention was paid to dairy­ ing, the breeding and care of stock, food crops, poultry, lhe orchard, and perhaps most I tn purl ant of all, good roads.

THE FIRST POULTRY SHOW ONE-THIRD OFF THE INTEREST AND ATTENDANCE WERE GOOD TO THE LAST. Complete List of the Lucky Exhib­ itors Who Carried Away the Premiums. The ollieers nnd members of the Hostings Poultry Association have good reason lo congratulate themselves on the fact that in spite of very unfavor­ able weather their first annual exhibi­ tion was a success. When they closed the doors Saturday night and figured up the finances they found, that they had paid all expenses and had about 825.00 left. Under normal conditions of weather and roads they would un­ doubtedly have scored a big success. No doubt, they will do much better at their next annuel exhibition.

Some of the Earliest Example* of the Art Prenervntlve. The following are the earliest known examples of printing—two Indulgences, printed usually on one side only of a single piece of vellum and two magnif­ icent Bibles. Of these one Is known to be the first complete book that ever was printed by the wonderful new In­ dention. which, as the early printers so Often prbudly state In their colophons, produced “letters without tbe aid of any sort of pen, whether of quill, of reed or of metal.” The first piece of printing which ia actually dated Is the famous- indul­ gence of Nicholas V. to such as should contribute money to aid the king of Cyprus against the Turks. This Indul­ gence lins the printed year date 1454, and a copy In The Hague museum has the date “Nov. 15” filled In with a pen. Mr. Duff tells us that “in the years 1454 nnd 1455 there wqs a large de mnnd for these Indulgences, nnd seven editions were Issued. These may be divided Into two sets, the one contain­ ing thirty-one lines, the other thirty lines, the first dated example belong­ ing to the former.” This thirty line edition Is shown to have been printed by Teter Sehoeffer de Gernsliei-.n by the fact tbat some of tbe initial letters which occur In It ap­ pear in another later indulgence of 1480, which is known to have come from bls press,—Saturday Review. < For embossing, engraving and high-class printing of every description, call at the Herald office.

BLOOD COVERS THE ASSASSIN Wounded by Splinters of His Death­ Dealing Projectile and Covered With Victim'e Life Fluid, the Murderer Surrenders to Police. Moscow, Feb. 18.—The sentence of death imposed Dec. 12, 1904, on Grand DuJje Alexandrovltch Sergius, brother-in-law ot Emperor Nicholas, by the Organization du Combat, the executive committee of the revolu­ tionary party, was executed Friday. Within the fortresslike walls of the Kremlin, and almost underneath the historical tower from which Ivan the Terrible watched the beads of his enemies falling beneath the ax on the famous Red square, a bomb was thrown by one of the two members of the organization charged to carry the sentence into effect, killing the grand duke instantly. The man who actually threw the bomb made no attempt to escape. He was wounded slightly by flying splint­ ers and was drenched with the blood of his victim. He surrendered him­ self to the authorities, saying coolly: "I don't care. I have done my job." He shouted loudly all the way to the police station: “Freedom! Free­ dom!” Bombthrower a Young Man. The bombthrower Is a young man, probably 30 years old. He wst dressed as a moujlk, but obviously does not belong to the peasant class, and doubtless is a student. The other assassin was arrested by a policeman, who overtook him as he was running from the scene of the assassination. l_e man carried a revolver, but mr.i’e ho attempt to use it He expressed gratification that the Grand Duchess Elizabeth was not accompanying ber busband. As the point chosen for the assassi­ nation was within the precincts ot the Kremlin that are little frequented and at the actual moment practically deserted, it is difficult to obtain a precise story of the killing. From the best avrilable sources, however, it is Earned the grand duke entered his carriage at the main en­ trance of the Nicholas palace, intend­ ing to drive to the private bathhouse in Tverskaja street, which he occu­ pied when governor geneial. Grand Duchess lo Warned. It was the first time for several weeks tb’t he had driven unaccom­ panied by the grand duchess, who al­ ways has been popular with all classes. The grand duke was perfect­ ly well aware of the risk he ran when she was not with him. It is known that the grand duchess had received an anonymous warning advising her not to drive out with her husband, as he would certainly be as­ sassinated tn the streets. The grand duchess apparently was unmoved by the threats, and only the fact that the grand duke went to the bath kept her indoors, and so averted a trag 1y even more horrible than the one tbat occurred. . At the moment of the explosion the grand duchess was at the Kremlin, su­ perintending work tor the wounded at the front, and was about to proceed to the residence of tbe governor gen­ eral. expecting to meet her husband there. Her carriage was waking out­ side tbe Kremlin. Throws Bomb From Sledge. The carriage, which was a closed, shabby one, not likely to attract at­ tention, was driven up tbe wide road­ way between the Chudoff monastery and the great bell tower in the direc­ tion of the Nikolsky gate, which opens on the grand square. Two ordinary cabs containing detectives followed at a little distance. According to one story, half way across the open space between the bell tower and tbe Nikolsky gate the imperial carriage was overtaken and passed by an open sledge drawn by a single horse. It was driven at a i rapid rate and passed under the gate­ way, which forms almost a tunnel, be­ fore the carriage containing the grand duke came up from the Nikol­ sky gate. In it were two men, one of them dressed as a workman. As the royal carriage approached the sledge shot out. and then drew back as if to al­ low the grand duke's equipage to pass. Just as the carriage came alongside the sledge one of the men rose to bls feet and burled tbe bomb beneath the wheels of the passing vehicle. Duke's Body in Bhreds. Another version of the actual bomb throwing says that the assassin, who had been concealed by the tunnel formed by the tower of the Nikolsky gate, stepped from his biding place and threw the deadly sphere. The force of the explosion was ter­ rific. It was heard all over Moscow. It shattered all the windows of tbe law courts 200 yards away. The carriage was blown to pieces and the grand duke was killed in­ stantaneously. The condition of the body was frightful. The head and limbs had been torn from the tnftjk and the clothing was In tatters. The body could scarcely be recognized as tbat of a man, much less identified as that of the grand duke. The bead was blown to atoms. A mass of brains was found nearby by a woman who handed it to a police commission­ er. The grand duke's pocketbook, which contained letters and money, . as found forty yards away. Coachman la Killed. The explosion rent tbe carriage rem the box, and the coachman was .’.ghtfully injured, but by some .hence tbe horses were not touched, .hey dashed frantically across the <uare, tbe coachman screaming as .:a lay on the ground. A police­ man and a watchman, who were tbe .u!y eye witnesses of the assassina>.t». stopped the horses and picked •p the coachman. He was in his last <"sp and died before he could be tak­ en to the hospital. Officials, police and soldiers rushed up from all quarters, and at once closed the massive gates to the Krem­ lin, so that the murderers could not c ccpc. This is said to be the first time these gates have been closed "Ince Napoleon's visit. Gather Remains In Sheet The bomb evidently was charged with the same high power explosive which wrought Minister von Plehve's death. The missile was packed with nails and fragments of iron, and Ita frightfully destructive power was shown by the favt that the Imperial victim’s body literally was blown to pieces. Tbe remains of the grand duke were collected and placed In a sheet with as much decency as possible for re­ moval to the palace. On the way the men who were carrying the bundle met lhe Grand Duchess Elizabeth, who had run from the palace without hat or cloak the moment she heard the explosion. Her grief was piteous, but she mercifully was spared the sight of her busband's body and taken buck to the palace by the women of her household who followed. Grewsome Scene In Kremlin. Inside the precincts of the Krem­ lin, visited a little while afterward, the scene was one of horror and tur­ moil. The place of assassination, dark and grim in the shadow of the tower, was littered with minute fragments of the carriage.

The explosion had bren heard In every street, and-the - :ws cf the assassina­ tion traveled almost as fast as the sound. From every quarter, the peo­ ple poured into the square which faces the Nicholas gate. They moved about with restless animation, half curious, half stunned oy the magnitude of the crime. ’ The grand duke had walked with bls life in his hands, but the end came with tragic suddenness and tho peo­ ple see”! overwhelmed by it The grand' duke was perfectly aware of tbe risk he ran. He always drove through the streets at the high­ est possible speed and leaned back in the corner of his carriage, so that he was almost invisible to foot passen­ gers. H« stated frequently that he did not fear either bullets or bombs. A sigh of relief went through Mos­ cow when It was kndwn that the grand duchess was uot with her hus­ band at the time of the erplosion. Revenge cf Students. Although the murderer refused to give any account of himself, the gen­ eral public believes he is a student, chiefly because it Is known that the students h*»d sworn to assassinate the grand d"ko In revenge fo- the mas­ sacre of Moscow on Dec. 19. The body was immediately placed In a coffin. It will remain in the mon­ astery until It Is removed for burial to St. Petersburg, where, according to precedent, it must be Interred in the Petropavlovskl fortress in the presence of the czar and all the grand dukes. Czar Breaks Down. The czar, who was fond of Sergius, is reported to have broken down upon hearing the news. He exclaimed, wildly: “When will all this end?” A liberal said: “The reactionary' party now is a headless trunk. Our party, conse­ quently, is strengthened immensely. The minister of the interior now has no force behind him, and Gov. Gen. Trepoff also is without support An­ other fetter has been struck from Rus­ sia. yet tbe violence of Sergius' death may retard the reform." Advanced revolutionists gloated over the assassination, saying: “Walt. There will be more, more work. Slowly but surely, one by one, we will rid our country' of op­ pressors. This Is our resolution. I rejoice that Sergius is done tor.” Dancing Girl Drops Dead. Merrill. Wls„ Feb.

STRATEGIC MOVE BY THE HOUSE Pipe Lines in the State Are Made Common Carriers, Thus Providing Transportation for the Product of the New Enterprise. Topeka, Kan., Feb. IS.—The state of Kansas Friday officially entered on its crutade against the Standard Oil company, when Governor Hoch signed the bill approprlat.ng >2Uu,000 for the state refinery. Tho ink cn the docu­ ment scarcely was try before the hcuse unanimously passed the bill making pipe lines in the state com­ mon carriers. By this legislation the lines of the great corpoindca will be available in which to transport the product of the ttate refinery. Further to aid in the war an anti­ discrimination bill win be passed. The measure will prevent the Stan­ dard company from underselling the state refinery, In that the corporation .will be compelled to make a uniform price for every town la the state. Its passage practically is assured. Governor Sends Message. In sending the refinery law to the legislature after affixing his signature Governor Hoch delivered a lengthy message touching on the situation. “This is not an attempt to drive the Standard Oil company out of Kunfas,” he said In part, "to deprive it of legitimate profits or to do it any in­ justice of any kind—it Is an attempt to compel It to treat lhe people of this state fairly and to give every man a square deal. “If this refinery succeeds it will not attempt to monopolize the oil busi­ ness of the state. It is not an at­ tempt to establish a monopoly, but an attempt to compel a monopoly al­ ready existing to be decent. It will not discourage, but encourage, private Investment in this line of industry. Takes Rap at Socialism. “It is an attempt to make competi­ tion, and not to destroy competition, as socialism does, a-*! when Its pur­ pose is achieved, when private capital can come to Kansas and find invest­ ment in oil refineries, with a fair chance of success; when normal con­ ditions have been restored; when in­ dividual competition shall again be possible; when these good conditions have been made permanent, then the state not only will be -Killing, but glad, to 16111-6 from the refining of oFl, and leave tbat business as well as the other lines of Industry in the hands of private competitors, where it legitimately belongs. "All this now is Impossible on ac- ‘ count of the greatest socialistic cor­ poration now doing business on earth —the Standard Oil company. No greater question confronts the Ameri­ can people than the control of these great aggregations of capital, all of them socialistic in their character, and which are antagonistic to the es­ sential element of all national prog­ ress—the competitive system.” Stirs Interest of Nation. Intense interest Is manifested throughout tbe United States concern­ ing lhe action of Kansas toward the Standard company. Inquiries from seventeen states have come to the sec­ ret ary of the senate and chief clerk of the house for copies of the state re­ finery and other bills relating to the oil business. A number of these in­ quiries came by telegraph from Texas, Pennsylvania, Ohio and West Vir­ ginia. Secretary Parker of the Oil Produc­ ers*-association declared the action of tbe Kansas legislature would result in bringing to Kansas several million dollars to be invested in independent oil refineries. Pennsylvania capital­ ists have a representative on the way here to arrange for establishing an independent refinery to cost 1600.000. The senate committee on judiciary introduced a resolution providing for a vote of the people in 1906 on the question of calling a constitutional convention. The new constitution would be expected to be very strong­ ly against trusts. . PIONEER MINER DEAD ON DUMP Colonel P. W. Keyea of Reno, Nev., Falls Over Precipice to Death. Reno, Nev., Feb. 18.—Col.

WASHINGTON LETTER LAD IMBIBES A QUART OF LIQUOR, THEN DIES Cincinnati Tailor Is Charged With Manslaughter for Inducing News­ boy to Partake of Whisky. Cincinnati, Ohio. Feb. 18.—A war­ nin' has been issued for the arrest of Samuel Becker, tailor, at Seventh and Vine streets, on a charge of man­ slaughter, as a result of the death at the city hospital of John Nickels, a colored newsboy of Avery alley. The warrant was sworn out by the boy's stepfather, William Johnson. The detectives learned, they say, that Nickels was at William Mann’s rows stand and that an argument came up about drinking. Becker, they say, bet Nickels that he couldn't drink a quart of whisky. Nickels took the dare, and went to a saloon on Vine street, where he bought a quart of whisky. Returning to the news stand ho drank tho liquor. Becker, the de­ tectives declared, told him he could not drink another quart, and the boy said he would, but- fell unconscious before he started It. He was taken to the city hospital, and died there. To trap tho saloonfat, the detectives sent a boy to the saloon and though he was a minor he had no trouble in getting the whisky. Other arrests are to be made. LATEST CASH MARKET REPORTS CHICAGO BOARD OF TRADE. Chicago. Feb. 17.—Quotations on the bonnl ot trade to-day: Wheat— Open. High. ClOBO Low.

The semiofficial announcement that tbe protest of the army officers against exchanging their old medals of honor for the gold plated medals recently or­ dered for them came too late has not stopped the flood of criticism from mil­ itary circles. Tbe army officers find no fault with the mere fact tbat a change wns made because many private organizations were imitating the government’s in^gnla of military honor. What they contend is that the government should be ashamed to ask them to wear a cheap gold plated medal. They would be satisfied with a substitute of iron or copper even, just so tbe medals were "solid."

This is regarded ns a move in the direction of breaking up the tribal re­ lations of that band, since uinuy of Red Cloud’s followers have doubtless been prevented from taking allotments by his failure to avail himself heretofore of the privilege accorded him by the treaty of 188!). No general legislation amendatory of the land laws will be enacted at this session of congress, according to per­ sons who have followed the subject for tbe last two winters. This will mean that efforts looking to tbe repeal of the timber and stone act and of other acts under which gross frauds have been perpetrated in taking up public lands will have to be renewed next year, when the’ Fifty-ninth congress as­ sembles for Its long session. .

Senator Fulton of Oregon recently gave tbe president a photograph and' history of Crater lake, which is de­ scribed ns one of the great wonders of tbe world. The lake occupies the cra­ ter of an extinct volcano. It Is five and a half miles wide by six miles long. Is 2.000 feet deep In the center, and tbe water is 2,000 feet below the top of tbe crater. The banks of tbe lake are reached by a dangerous climb down a small path. The water Is so cold that so far fish have not been able to exist there, but tbe fish commission Is now making experiments with hardy varieties of the finny tribe and believes It will succeed in installing several as permanent residents of tbe lake.

A' ROYAL POWDER ABSOLUTELY PURE WISDOM FOR THE FARMERS From first page. Yu ir;J i •l ■ more than we can afford, more than our farms will stand. He proposed as remedy to this difficulty that the na tional government expend a part of tbe four millions which it receives from the state off of the tax on tobacco, in­ toxicating liquors, etc., in bettering the ■condition of the country roads. The government too has spent enormous sums on the water ways and railroads -of the United States, all of. which may be justified, but wouldn't be equally -commendable to aid in construction of good roads. A bill has just been reported out <of committee in tho senate provid­ ing for the expenditure of 24 millions on the highways of the country. Of this amount Michigan's share is 8702,­ 000 but she will not receive a penny on .account of a clause in the state consti­ tution. Mr. Earle’s plan is to have the town­ ship set aside each year a certain .amount to be devoted to construction of -highways, to which tbe state and na­ tional governments will add. The road, however, la to be built according <to plans and specifications provided by the state, and must not be less than a good gravel road. He also propo ed tbe erection of a ^prison on Isle Royale in Lake Superior •where the convicts could be set to work 'breaking stone which would be given -■to the townships and villages for tbe .construction of roads. At the business session J. F. Ed<nonds was re-elected president, and Hoss Burton secretary. Tbe following ■vice-presidents were chosen: Assyria, Oarrlson Moore; Baltimore, Geo.

The women’s department of the in­ stitute met in tbe Baptist church, the president, Mrs. Edmonds, in the chair. The sessiop opened with music by the Misses Paton, Mrs. McCoy presiding at the piano. Miss Jennette C. Carpen­ ter of Lansing gave a description of the cooking school at the Agricultural College. Sbe said that one was better fitted for the responsibilities of house­ keeping after taking tbe cooking couroe. It takes five years to complete the pre­ paratory course and four years the cooking course. She said it is one thing to know and another to do. Peo­ ple ask too much ol their servants, more than one could possibly do. The winter term is given up to the cooking of meats and the pupils seem to enjoy that, more than the other term’. Child cooking is considered of more importance than invalid cooking ns the . latter's food is dictated by the doctor. What tbe mao is depends on you. A long talk on bread making closed the session. AFTERNOON SESSION. The session opened with devotlonals fled by Miss Carpenter. Mrs. Babbitt being absent, and her paper not being sent, Mrs. Julia Fisher made u few re­ marks on the topic "How to Make the Most ol Life." She was followed by others and the discussion proved to be interesting. Some thought a farmer's life drudgery, some a pleasure, others that it was as we made it. There was some discussion on why we always wash on Mondays. Some thought Tuesday a much better day. Miss Carpenter then took up the topic of Science in the Kitchen, dwell­ ing especially on foods. She also em­ phasized tbe value of air and sunshine. She seemed to think that women were not as particular ns to what they feed the family as the man Is concerning what he feeds his stock. Cereals should be cooked an hour or even more. The ladies then proceeded lo the election of officers which resulted as follows: Addie Edmonds, Pres.; Julia Fisher, Vice pres.; Celia Pennock, Sec. An interesting discut-sion of butter making paitlclpated in by many of the ladies present brought -the session to a close. This seclion was well attended con­ sidering the weather and all s_*emed to be interested. Tbe farmers' wives were very largely in the majority, showing that they .are an ambitious people to brave such roads and storms. young women In the business world. It is an independent organization and is supported partly by dues which the members pay. Many of the young women come directly to the Inn from their work, and after the evening meal divide their time between the gym­ nasium and the club rooms. There are classes ia pyrograpby, millinery, music and many other useful arts. Each month the girls give an entertain­ ment, the last one being a "Geisha Girl" operetta. Primarily the woi k of lhe Inn Is re­ ligious slum work. There is a latue chapel in the front of the building, where meetings lire held every even­ ing. It is here that conversions have been accomplished that have changed dreary homes to those of gladness and have transformed many lives from degredation to happiness. During the ensuing month, several prominent Cleveland pastors, Includ­ ing Dr. Meldruin, Dr. Hanley and Dr. Grant, have been engaged to conduct evangelistic services. Miss Rosenber­ ger, the evangelist, is a singer of much ability and will be heard at these ser­ vices. The meetings began last week and already much success has attended them. In the near future, Mr. Willis Hotchkiss, an African explorer and AT THE HEAD OF A GOOD WORK. missionary, will address the meetings. Former Hastings Boy Superintend­ ent of Cleveland Institution. The Cleveland World ot Feb. 4 con­ tains an illustrated account of a char­ itable enterprise in that city at the head of which is a former Barry county boy, Dr. F J. Betts, and his wife. Dr. Fred Betts wgs born in Hastings and lived in the couuty until a few years ago. The article is as follows: Far-reaching in its effects and pro­ ductive of Inestimable value as a re­ formative social power in the slum district of Cleveland is the Central Friendly Inn, conducted under the management o’ the Women’s Chris­ tian Temperance Union. Few Clevelanders, indeed, have the slightest conception of the scope of the work of this institution. It can­ not be measured. Thousands of fam­ ilies, in what is known as the "hay­ market district” of the city, owe much to tbe influence of this organization. The husbands and fathers have here been turned from the paths of shame and wickedness to lead good, useful lives. And tbe mothers, too, have not been neglected. "It.is difficult to believe tbe truth," said Superintendent Betts, "that in tbe slum district the mothers are often worse than the fathers. The craving after strong drink is tbe cause of it. These women are often brought here in the middle of the night, numb with cold and unconscious from the effects of liquor. And, let me say tbat the re­ demption of woman is ten, yes, twenty times more difficult to accomplish than that of mao. At her best, woman is far better than man, and at her worst, she sinks far deeper in the mire. One case, in particular, impressed me. One wintry night, about a year ago, a wo­ man staggered to our door in the mid­ dle of the uight. She wore no hat or coat and was not able to stand alone. It was fully three weeks before she had sufficiently recuperated, and then she promised repentance. Light work was secured for her, inasmuch as she had been a woman of means and refinement and was unused to labor. ‘Drink and a cheerless life did it,’ she sobbingly told us, and we put great faith in her promises. Many times she broke them but always returned. Now she is lead­ ing a beautiful, Christian life among tbe poor. She la of a highly respected family of Cleveland and was at oue time well known.” Such are tbe stories that Superin­ tendent Bette and his wife, the matron, can tell without apparently exhausting their ever-increasing supply. But their work is not centered entirely on the men and women of the slums and their conversion and redemption. "By educating and training the young mind and instilling high ideals in the boys and girls,” said Mr. Betts, "we hope to stimulate their ambition to lift them­ selves from tbe quagmire in which they seem buried. To annihilate these hot­ beds of lawlessness we must revolution­ ize the character of Lhe coming gener­ ations. In this way social reform Is made permanent.” To this end boys* clubs have been established where good, wholesome literature is nt the lads' disposal, where amusing games can be played, and where all things are at hand to in­ vite him from the streets into a more healthful atmosphere. Believing tbat "cleanliness is next to godliness” there has been provision made for bathing facilities, and these are in constant de­ mand. Nor are lhe girls neglected. They have a cooking school. These girls never spoil a loaf of bread. Only too well do they know the value of money. The buoyancy of lheir young spirits is remarkable. Indeed cure reais lightly on these creatures of circumstance. They seem glad of lhe "joy of living." They learn how to become milliners or dressmakers and they may also study music at the Inn. These are girls who are only"about sixteen years old. For tbe older girls there is a fine club, under the direction of Miss Ada C. Morse. This was established for Hastings Musical Club. Mr. nnd Mrs. Emry Busby and son Claude entertained the club at a mus­ ical e at their home Monday evening, Feb. 20. Refreshments. The following program was rendered. Piano solo, Claude Busby.

A lap supper was served to seventy-five people. Another of these pleasant social meetings will be held in two weeks. The Silver Ten given by Mrs. L. C. Rogers and Mrs. Wm. Stebbins the 22nd was very enjoyable. The Stars and Stripes were in evidence in every room. The program consisted of music on piano by Misses Carrie Steb ins, Winnie Harper, Edith Lombard and reading by Mrs. Menhenniek, all de­ lightfully rendered. The program closed by all singing America. The re­ freshments, one wet and one dry, were dellcous. Sandwitches, each one deco­ rated with a tiny flag, and fragrant coffee.

Largest Crowd of the Season Heard Distinguished Speaker and Were Well Pleased. The Women’s club lecture commit­ tee made no mistake when they se­ cured William Jennings Bryan for the season’s course and placed the price of admission high. The great reputation of Mr. Bryan as a public man and an orator were sufficient to QU the ball at almost any price, and the distinguished speaker was greeted last Friday even­ ing by as fine an audience as ever gathered in a Hastings hall. In introducing the speaker Mr. Thomas Sullivan paid a glowing and deserved tribute to the Women’s club for its good work in furnishing our city wjth such a high class of lectures and entertainments. than ever before in the eyes of the world, and be was told that when the soldiers of Cuba lowered the stars and stripes from Morro castle they rushed beneath it and held it up that its folds might not touch the earth, and kissed it and blessed it. If we but hold up our lofty national ideal before the people of the world, no foreign king would dare to attack us because the people would cry “hands off.” We are indebted to many peo­ ples of the old world for different ideals and ideas. To the Anglo-Saxons for the principle of maintaining our own rights. We must go on to the still loftier ideal of refusing to interfere with the rights of others. Mlcnlgan Central Excursions.

A transaction in real estate was con­ summated last week which promises to be of much importance to this city. P. T. Colgrove has been for some time quietly working to carry out a plan whereby the farm land in the south­ western part of the city owned by Fred McNair might be made available for building purposes and an important ad­ dition made to the residence portion of the city. Judge Wm. F. Stine and Chas. W. Morrill of Charlotte were in­ terested in the venture and P. A. Shel­ don of this city also took hold of the matter. The outcome of the negotiations was reached last Friday when the four gentlemen Interested closed a contract with Mr. McNair for bls farm of 137i acres, the consideration being 11200. A corporation to be known as the Hast­ ings Realty Co., has been organized, with a capital stock of 015,000, and we understand it is the purpose to plat the land into city lots, and place them on the market as soon as possible, at pric­ es and terms of payment which will en­ able all who want them to obtain them in a very easy manner. The company will ask the city to grade the streets and lay water mains as fast as the lots are taken and buildings erected. While this article is not intended to be ac advertisement, the Herald Is pleased to record a business deal that indicates that Hastings is growing and will continue to grow. A Year SATURDAY'S CONVENTION. Robert Dawson, Junior, Nominated for Circuit Judge. Last Saturday’s democratic conven­ tion, although called for the purpose of electing delegates to the state conven­ tion, also took upon itself the responsi­ bility to name a candidate for circuit judge. There were so few delegates present when the convention was called to or­ der by Chairman Sullivan that amotion was made to permit all democrats pres­ ent to participate in the proceedings. R. A. Bates was made chairman and John Dennis secretary, and in a very few minutes the business of choosing eleven delegates to the state conven­ tion was accomplished. Mr. Sullivan thereupon tendered his resignation as chairman of the county committee and Fred W. Walker was elected to fill the vacancy. Resolutions passed by the Eaton county democrats who met in Charlotte last Thursday, endorsing Thomas Sul* livan of this city for the judicial nomi­ nation, were then presented and along and strenuous attempt was made to find a candidate who would accept the empty honor. Mr. Sullivan was nomi­ nated and declined. Mr. Bales was likewise honored but made haste to follow Mr. Sullivan’s example. Other names were considered and consider­ able discussion was indulged in. It ap­ pearing to be the opinion of all who spoke that there should be a candidate. Finally Robert Dawson was nominated and accepted the honor, much to the relief, undoubtedly, of those valiant democrats who would have been con­ fronted with the awful dilemma of vot­ ing for Judge Smith or staying at home on election day, if he had not had pity upon them. Goes to Kendallville. Boys Sent to Reform School. One day last week Mrs. W. B. Sweezey lost a pocket book containing 811.00 in money and a pair of specta­ cles. Later two boys at school Clyde Sbupp, eleven years old, and Fred Stafford, ten years old, were observed by their teacher to have in their pos­ session some pocket books containing considerable money. Suspicions were aroused and on investigation* by SupL Chamberlin and Marshall Phillips the boys finally confessed that they bad stolen Mrs. Sweezey’s pocket book. She had laid it on the show case in W. H. Goodyear’s drug store and the boys had stolen it. . Marshall Phillips made complaint against the boys before Justice Riker. They were proceeded against under the juvenile offenders law, and after consultation with the proper author­ ities, they were committed to the re­ form school at Lansing. Chas. H. Bauer, state agent for the board of cor­ rections and charities, took the young offenders to Lansing Tuesday, where they will remain until seventeen years of age, unless sooner paroled or dis­ charged on account of good behavior. It seems that these two boys have been guilty ef similar operations be­ fore and were let off under promise of reforming their ways. Other boys have also been guilty of stealing things from stores and complaint has been made against three of them, but their cases have not yet been disposed of. The cases of these boys should be a warning to parents that they cannot be too careful in keeping their boys off the streets nights and out of bad associ­ ation. 44th Birthday Party. Another of the 44th birthday parties was celebrated at the home of Mrs. Ella Hollaway on Broadway, Tuesday afternoon. Invitations were issued for a luncheon at one o’clock. As soon as the guests bad arrived a delicious menu of four courses! was served on small tables, each lady’s plate being designated by guest cards. Mrs. Ids Wood catered. The after­ noon passed most delightfully In songs, music and spicy conversation, Miss Vinnie Ream giving some of her in­ imitable readings. The decorations were pink and white carnations. As this was a real birthday the guests left wishing Mrs. Holloway many returns of ihe happy day. “Loop the Loop.” Miss Hazel Shively. 115 E. Forbes street, this city, has composed a march and two-step, entitled “Loop the Loop.” It is issued by lhe Pioneer Publishing Co, of Chicago, which is an evidence of the merit of the piece. It is a pleas­ ing composition, and was received with favor at the Maccabee party lust night, where it was rendered oy Boos’ band io the delight of lhe guests, who en­ joyed it very much. Nina Shively is but 14 years of age, and has much tal­ ent as a musician and composer.—Jackson Citizen. Miss Shively is well known in this city, having resided here with her grandmother and attended school. George Collins has secured a position with the Flint & Walling Mfg. Co., of Kendallville, Ind., manufacLurersof windmills, eto., and expects to leave for his new work the first of the week. In several months he will be placed on the road. His position of assistant en­ gineer at the water works will be tak­ en by Leon Hopkins who is moving in­ to part of the Fred Myers bouse. Monday evening Mr. Collins, who is president of the Epworth League, was given a very pleasant surprise by about sixty members of that organization and their friends in the parlors of the M. E. church. During the evening which was spent in playing games and music, Mr. J. C. Ketcham presented Mr. Col­ lins on behalf of those present with a very handsome watch fob. George will be missed by a large cir­ cle of friends who wish him success In bis new position. Sliver Tea, Monday, March 6. Meadatnes Andrea and Lunn Will greet you today Five fourteen, Broadway.

The board of trade banquet tomorrow night promises to be a big affair, over 320 tickets having been sold. The men’s club entertainment at St. Rose’s hall Tuesday evening was well attended and a very enjoyable function. At the intermission In the dancing the following program was given: selection by Troxel’s orchestra; vocal solo by Mrs. Frank Hams; readinj by Mrs. Menhennick; trombone quartet by members of the orchestra. The lost three were honored with encores. There has been some wonder ex­ pressed why ladles are not invited to the Board of Trade banquet tomorrow night. There Is only one reason for it, the inability of finding a hall large enough to accomodate ns large a num­ ber as would attend if ihe ladies were Included. The committee having the banquet in chaige were desirous of in­ cluding the fair sex, of course, but they were confronted by this obstacle and so were constrained to forego the pleasure. �4.

The Gran ge as a n Ed ucat i on cl Factor. i The following oapxr wax written and read by Eva Erway at the xpccial meeting Feb 24: Education is xuch a deep subject that one may well hesitate before attempting to di*cu*x it* different channel* for fear o( showing their own lack of lhe same. When we first think of this subject one is apt to fall Into dreamland and dream of books, rules and last but not least of tireless instrument* familiarly known as teach­ ers. But in prexenting “Tbe Grange as an Edu­ cational Factor" I shall attempt to lead you, brother* and slsterH, to view this important sub­ ject from a different point of view. For a moment think of the possibility of an education that brings u* nearer to the soul and shows the trne being as God Intended mortal to be without the extra polish of the world. Yes. indeed, education obtained from our school* and colleges is highly essential, and the jnore of it the better for the happiness of mankind. But pity the boy or girl who is so unfortunate as to have no other educa­ tion. • My ideal education can be seen by the eye, felt by the heart, grown into the soul and in short be­ comes a part of the individual, lifting him far above the ordinary man who lives for self alone. The grange i“ to a certain degree able to give to Its members this kind of refinement by teaching in an Influential way bow to live nearer and dearer to all earthly things created for the hap­ piness of man. I believe that If each one who is requested to give aimixtunce la any way, either on the program or the other work, would do xo gladly and willingly, they would be adding much to the pleasure of others and at the same time strengthenlng their own abll itiex. The chief object of the grange seems to be to create a love for the farm. And why not? Where can one find a safer or more healthy atmosphere In which to build a noble man or womanhood than on the dear old farm? The grange teaches how nrcexsarj* to the home and the dear old home folks are the boys and girls. It has lhe possibil­ ities of rearing them to hive and Klndily care for all innocent animals under their protection. The heart and with their hearty cupport will endeavor to educate them in the finer part* of their nature which tbc world forsets or hasn't time for. I feel that no subject xhould be passed withoot a dis­ cnasion and perhaps after a lime even the most timid might learn to at least say amen. The literary work lias Its place in- the grange too. Here the children are brought to feel how useful are even km all effort*. In the educational meetings in HasungN a short time ago, “The Best Crop on the Farm" was a very interesting ■object.

The methods by which congress does busi­ ness are such that when a standing committee reports a measure a majority of the members of either house accept such report, for individual members of congress have neither time nor the in­ formation which would enable them to make any detailed examination of the various measures on wh'ah they are called upon to make.

Friends of Oklahoma are humbly sup­ plicating ihe all powerful speaker for mercy but there teems to be liltle hope of his relenting.

Kouropatkin’□ troops on the left flank are now engaged in a llfe-anddeath struggle to hold their main de­ fenses. When Gen. Kouropatkiu sent the latest dispatch that has been made public the Japanese had swept through all the barbed wire entangle­ ments In their path, had forced the Russians to retire and were assault­ ing the passes that were held by the Russians. Already the casualties had been tremendous, the proportion of dead to the wounded being greater than In any other battle of the war. Apparently Gen. Nogi's- gunners who destroyed Port Arthur's defenses, were with the Japanese columns, and this fact seemed to strike terror Into Russian breasts, although the men did not give way till overwhelmed by sheer force of superior legions. Crucial Test of Strength. Da pass will probably be the spot where the crucial test of strength be­ tween the combatants on the east wing will be made. The fighting now going on is beyond Da pass, fifty miles southeast of Mukden. The advantage thus far is on the side of the Japanese, though at heavy coat. From advices from the front it is difficult to say how severe tbe losses have been or how decisive the Russian reverse, and whether the Jap­ anese are likely to attempt to drive in the Russian left much further. JapSfOutgeneral Russians. Gen. 'Kouropatkiu evidently has been trying to establish his left flank far In advance, to command the cross­ ings of the Taitse river, tbe operation being a counterpart of Gen. Gripenberg’s movement on the right flank to secure the fords of the Hun river, pre­ paratory to the breaking up of the ice tn the spring. Da pass is an Important defile com­ manding the road to Fushun. Both armies occupying apparently impreg­ nable positions at the center. Gen. Kouropatkin evidently planned to in­ augurate widely sweeping operations on both flanks, but the Japanese coun­ tered hard. Kouropatkin Wires of Defeat. Gen. Kouropatkin telegraphed to the emperor under date of Feb. 25 as follows: "At 5 o'clock this mornltrg the enemy occupied Tslnkhetchen. Exact reports of our yesterday's losses have not yet been received. "There are twelve officers and about SOO men wounded in-hospital at Sanlunyu. The percentage of killed is very large. The commander of the detachment reports acts of bravery by many detached bodies of troops." Squadron Takes No Risks. Gen. Kouropatkin instances many cases of dose fighting and bayonet charges, and concludes: "This morn­ ing a batallion of tbe enemy advanced In the direction of Papin pass, six miles southwest of Sanlunyu, and this evening the enemy's outposts commenced to approach the passes occupied by us.” * According to a Vladivostok dispatch the entrance to that harbor is open and the Russian squadron, which is seaworthy, is apparently taking no risks, but is saving its strength for cooperation with Vice Admiral RoJestvensky's squadron.

IN PENNSYLVANIA Scranton, Pa., Feb. 27.—Notwith­ standing the fact that the production of anthracite coal In Lackawanna county was leu last year than in the preceding year, the loss of life In con­ nection with the industry increased in a manner that was appalling. Notwithstanding that there were additional inspectors, that more rigid precautions have, it is claimed, been Inaugurated, the death roll increased and the army of widows and orphans caused by the accidents In the an­ thracite mines was reinforced more than ever last year. In 1902 for each life lost In Lack­ awanna county, when there were but two inspectors, there were 243,693 tons mined. In 1903, when the num­ ber of inspectors was doubled, this average fell to 161,898 tons, and In 1904 the average was further reduced to 147,934 tons for each life lost. The reports for the last year show that there were eighty-four fatalities from fall of roof and rock alone, while In the preceding year, with the greater output, the fatalities from these causes were sixty-four. The total lives lost In the mines of Lackawan­ na county in 1903 was 131, while in 1904, with its decreased output, there were 137 lives lost The year 1905 will probably show a record yet worse. The first six weeks resulted in sixty-eight fatalities in the anthracite mines of the whole field. PANIC DURING CHURCH SERVICE Women and Children Are Hurt In a Nebraska Fire. Norfolk, Neb., Feb. 27.—A panic was caused by a fire which broke out in the Catholic church In this city during services Sunday.

QUARLES' NOMINATION TO BE WITHDRAWN Wisconsin Senator Calls Prealdent’e Attention to Present Ineligibility for Federal Judgehip. Washington, Feb. 27.—President Roosevelt will withdraw the nomin­ ation of Senator J. V. Queries of Wis­ consin to be United States district judge in that state. This action will bu taken at the request of Senator Quarles himself, who called the pres­ ident's attention to the second para­ graph, sixth section of the first article of tbe constitution, which prevents the appointment of a member of con­ gress to an office created, or the emoluments of which were increased, during his term in congress. Since Mr. Quarles became a member of the senate the Hoar bill, providing among other things for increasing the salary of United States district judges from >5,000 to >6,000 per year, has been enacted into law. It is admitted that Quarles can le­ gally be appointed, and with propri­ ety, to the Wisconsin judgeship after tho expiration of his term as senator on March 4. This plan dougtless will be followed out There is no crltlcirt of the president for his action, most people believing that he forgot the c?»i8titutlonal pro­ hibition against iL Senator Spooner undoubtedly knew of the president's intention to appoint Quarles, but It is not believed he knew ft wns con­ templated before March 4, as he Is such a stickler upon constitutional matters that he would have reminded the president of the situation that would arise under the present circum­ stances.

Whitehead i o « o £ *o*o*o*o*o*o**o*o*o*o*o*o* Through the stained glass above tbe palms and roses tbe midday sun streamed In, flecking the scene with gorgeous reds, blues and greens. It sbed n goldeu glory upon tbe tall, slen­ der, graceful bride, and at tlie sight tbe best mnn shut his jaw n bit more determinedly. She was looking more thnn ever like nn nngel, nnd hi ’ five mluntes she would be tlie wife of his best friend. . That was the monotonous sentence which kept repenting Itself In his mind. As if be were likely to for­ get! Opposite him and Just behind the bride the maid of honor stood. For tbe moment she, too. had forgotten tbe guests, forgotten everj-tbing save tho fnct that the one man In tbe world whom she might have loved—for she always phrased it thus carefully to herself—wns at Hint moment vowing to love nnd cherish her closest friend, -•a* hnd a curious feeling thnt when she wns nn old. old woman, when a yellow, withered face and dim, sad eyes looked back at her from her mir­ ror, she should still be nble to live over again the despair of this moment, when the white robed clergyman wns taking him from her life, a thousand times more Irrevocably than death could have done. There was a stir about her like tlie rush of tlie wind. For a second she was too lost in thought to understand; then, ns she dropped upon her knees somewhat hurriedly, her bewildered eyes caught those of the best mnn. cas­ ually nt first and then with a quick, startled recognition of something she snw there. He. too, hnd tbe air of a person suddenly awakened from a nightmare, momentarily uncertain of the surroun.iings in which he found himself. A moment later she hnd forgotten his very existence. •’He's Ethel’s busband now—Ethol's husband,” she said sternly to herself, skillfully turning a dry sob Into a long, broken breath nnd composing her face to the radiant expression becoming the bride's best friend. Meanwhile the best man admonlsbrel himself In n shnllnr strain. ‘'Steady now. old man! No\v’s the time to get out your happy smile." Then, as the rigid muscles of his face gave ro Indi­ cation of relaxing, his thoughts ran on crossly: “Don’t be nn nss! It's the worst ever, so you might ns well cheer up!” By the time the gront organ pealed out the triumphant strains of the wed­ ding march he nnd the maid of honor, their masks on. faced the guests that filled the church, ready to piny their pnrfit for all they were worth. Some­ thing In the music was at once an in­ spiration nnd a challenge. “Isn't she sweet?" whispered one of the guests to a companion, referring to the maid of honor. “Hut how pale she is, and whnt a curious look there is in her eyes—sort of nothing can ever mat­ ter again expression—and yet"— Tbe speaker stopped, staring thought­ fully nt the girl until she had passed. More thnn once during the course of the wedding breakfast that followed the best man found himself watching her curiously. No one was gayer thnn she—none so gay. in fact. Her eyes were brilliant, nnd her laugh rang out valiantly, but his own misery made him subtly conscious of some under­ current of feeling thnt was running strong nnd pitiless under the surface bubbles—nn undertow of misery thnt she was resisting with all her strength. Ho remembered that when, during the ceremony, their eyes had met In that confused, unveiled glance she hnd been stnrlng nt tbe groom as intently ns he hnd nt the bride. Could It be— He did not formulate tbe thought, but he watched her more keenly than ever after that—so keenly. Indeed, that once, nuable to bear It any longer, with an appearance of unconsciousness she tax­ ed him with it “You are very rude!” she snld lightly, but at bls grave, sincere “Believe me. I have not meant to be," nnd the search­ ing look thnt nceompnnled it, express­ ive of a sympathy he could not rut into words, her lips quivered ever so slightly. “Weddings get upon my nerves." she explained, with n little grimace, and before lie could reply she lind turned nway. Tlie shower of rice and old shoes hnd spent itself, nnd the bride nnd groom hnd departed, taking all the romance of the world with them nnd leaving be­ hind a monotony without form nnd void. All of tbe guests felt It. nnd al­ ready the bustle of departure wns In tlie itlr. But to the best man nnd the innld <>f honor it was n ghastly, appall­ ing fact that made them linger on the steps nftcr tl:e others had re-entered the house, staring blankly after the cnrrlnge that had disappeared around the conior. Then t!:e man remembered where ho was nnd pulled himself togather with an effort. “Seems rather like the end of things, doesn't it:" !’.e observed ns they turned Into the doorway. "F»*<m our standpoint, ye^t," wns the listless answer. Then she caught her lip ladween her tectli nnd darted a quick. Inquiring gl ’lice nt him. Thnt was not precisely whnt six* woul.l have chosen to say. nnd she hoped thnt he would not notice It. But nt the sight of the somber smile In his eyes the hope passed. In a snug corner of tbe deserted li­ brary. where tl:e farewells of the de­ parting guests came to them but faint­ ly, she next found herself, without be­ ing very clear ns to how she came there. The best mnn wns sitting tn front ot her holding one of her hands In n protecting, big brotherly fashion, while she vainly tried to keep buck tlie tears that seemed to be rising ns quiet­ ly nad relentlessly ns n flood. It was no use. Higher and higher they came. She winked hard nnd shut her teeth firmly. Then she snatched her han-’ awny nnd covered her face. “My poor little girl,” murmured the best man softly. “Weddings are always sad, don’t you think 7’ she gnsped out, dabbing at her eyes with her handkerchief nnd giving a little hysterical laugh. “Still, I don't usually uehnve like this. You see, when your best friend marries—she—thnt 1severytlilng Is different and"— She gave up trying to explain the situni ion In de­ spair nnd ended with an Incoherent, “But It’s all very ridiculous, and I don't know why I should say nil this to you.” She was the picture of helpless, girl­ ish misery, and the best man's heart nclied for her. Momentarily his sympa­ thy took the edge off bls own loneli­ ness. He winced nt the thought of her having to suffer alone the maddening sense of loss that tormented him. “Perhaps it's because misery loves company,” he snld gently. “Perhaps you fee’ that this wedding hasn't been Altogether like other weddings to mt either," he went on, with a matter ot fact air, ns if It were the most natural thing in tbe world that they should be confiding In each other. She was watching him with a dawn­ ing understanding in her eyes, and lit met her gaze with n whimsical smile ns if he were offering her tbe oper book of his soul to read if she would. “Do you mean that you, too"— There wns no need to complete th< question, for it wns answered before II wns spoken. Involuntarily her bandi went out to him In quick, warm sym­ pathy, and though her only comment wns a breathless “Oh!” it was eloquent with feeling. Little by little ber composure cainf back to ber. "It was so good of you to tell me,’ she said gratefully. “I think 1 feel at Robinson Crusoe did when he discov­ ered tbe mnn Friday. •’Not that I’m glad that you’re un happy, too,*' she added quickly; “onlj it doesn’t seem so lonely now that 1 know that there is some one who un det-stands. After all, that's what maket life worth living, Isn't it?” she finished looking up nt him with what seemed tt him the sweetest look be had ever seer In a girl’s face. When nt the end of six months tb( bride nnd groom returned from theli honeymoon abroad the best man and the maid of honor were among the first of tlieir dinner guests. “See here; It seems to.me thnt yov two have been making bay in our ab­ sence," laughed the bride, noting with u woman's quick instinct the deep, strong understanding that seemed to exist be tween the two, whereupon hcr listen ers exchanged a somewhat humorous albeit coufusel, glance, but refused tc explain. The following June they were mar­ ried. Just before the Loliengrlu marc the organist played "Consolation," a> which such of the guests ns recognized tlie selection elevated their eyebrowt and wondered.

TOLD BY THE TEETH. ~ Winter In the Swine Yards Winter Is the time to remove accu­ mulated manure nnd corncobs from tbe hog yard thnt have been neglected during tbe press ot fall work, snyt Tlieodore Louis In Farm, Stock and Home. The bogs nre fattened and sold, and no more Interest is taken In tlte empty yards, sties and feeding floors. Tlit brood sows left nre expected to gel along any way until the new crop ot pigs arrive. In the thawing weather ol early spring the yards can be cleaned only with great difficulty nnd nre toe often left unclean on this account. Pigs wallow through the filth, take cold and die. The warm sun hastens decay,’and kind nature sends myriads of files tc devour tlie poison and afflict piggy Then comes a time when the rising miasma and stench become unbearable nnd the question, “Whnt alls my pigs?" will be frequently asked. Now Is the time to haul the valuable refuse of tbe hog yards direct to the fields; It Is the other end of the gold mine in bog raising. Nor should we fear to remove a lot of tbe earth with it that has absorbed the most valuable part of the manure. Do not fill the holes that may have been rooted with manure and dirt mixed. Refill the yards with a scraper from an adjacent place kept for that purpose. Burn the dry cobs into charcoal for winter and spring. If yards are so cleaned out nnd refilled and there Is u slight natural drainage, things will be lovely In the spring. And don't neglect to remove the ac­ cumulations of winter feeding from time to time. Sowing fresh lime occa­ sionally nnd using plenty of bedding, waste hay nnd straw, ns an absorbent after cleaning ench time will save an amount of manure thnt will astonish one who has never practiced It. At tbe same time It Insures a healthy condi­ tion for the swine. • Individual Hoar Houae. My idea of a hog house, where brood sows will live nnd bring forth tbeir young, Is illustrated herewith, says Joseph E. Wing in Breeder’s Gazette. A house built In this manner, warm and tight as you can make it, is Ideal for tbe parpose, as each sow has a home of ber own. No Intruders daw disturb her. She brings forth her young In peace, and If the weather la very severe you can bank up with ma­ nure nnd make her very warm nnd comfortable. It Is not usually neces­ sary to think of ventilation where but one sow ia to occupy tlie bouse. Ther? Dentition Table For Deteraalninar th« ▲*ex of Cattle. The question of determining the agei of cattle by examination of their teeth Is one that lias given much concern foi many years to the management of lead­ ing shows, says Breeder's Gazette. The subjoined schedule, prepared by the International Live Stock Exposi­ tion association, represents the consen­ sus of opinion of a number who havd been consulted In reference to this im­ portant subject. It is not put out by the International management ns top­ resenting nl»solute accuracy. It Is be lleved thnt these specifications dea! very’ leniently with feeders; that 1! they err at all It Is in the direction of giving tho feeder the benefit of al doubt: * Twelve Months.—An animal of tlih age shall have nil of Its milk (calf) In cisor teeth In place. Fifteen Months.—At this age the cen ter pair of Incisor milk teeth may b< replaced by center pair of permanent incisors (pinchers), the latter teeth be ing through the gums, but not yet ir wear. Eighteen Months.—The middle pnii of permanent incisors nt this agt should be fully up and In wear, bm next pair (first intermediate) not yet cut tbrougb gums. Twenty-four Months.—The mouth al this age will show two middle penua nent (broad) incisors fully up and Ir wear and next pair (first Intermediate: well up, but not in wear. Thirty Months.—The mouth nt th!* age may show six broad pcrmnneni incisors, the middle and first interme dlate pairs fully up and in wear nnd tlie next pair (second Intermediate) well up, but not iu wear. Thirty-six Months.—Three pairs ot broad teeth should be fully up and Ir wear, and the comer milk teeth may be shed er shedding, with the cornel permanent teeth just appearing through the gums. Thirty-nine Months.—Three pairs o! broad teeth will be fully up and In wear and corner teeth (Incisors) through the gums, but not In wear. In raising bogs I think it best tc bare all the sows farrow about the same time. This may be done by keep­ ing the boars awny from the sows, says a Kentucky stockman. Then twe weeks previous to the time the sowe are to be bred the principal part of their food should be thrashed oats. Then turn the boar with them, and they will be likely to farrow near tlie same time. By this method you will have hogs of uniform size to put on tbe market which will, bring remunerative prices and besides save a vast nnlount ol trouble lu caring for pigs of different ages.

Smith Nominated for Supreme Court Justice. The democratic state convention held in Battle Creek Tuesday was not one of the largest, to be sure, but it was inthasiasticand harmonious and adopted a truly democratic set of resolutions. Every district was represented except the twelfth. The convention was called io order in Hamblin’s opera house by'Chairman Wood who named Timothy Tarsney of Detroit os lhe temporary chairman. Mr. Tarsney made a characteristic speech scoring the republican machine. A. R. Canfield of Clare was made sec­ retary. There were no contests for nomina­ tions. J idge Vernon H. Smith of Ionia was nominated by acclamation for jus­ tice of the supreme court; Dr. O. Mil­ lard, of Flint, received a like unani­ mous endorsement for regent of the university, and H. A. Jersey of Boyne City, for the other place as regent. James G. Hanley of Jackson was then named for member of tbe state board of education. Tbe chief feature of the resolutions was tbe denouncing of so-called rail­ road legislation. The platform adopt­ ed at Grand Rapids in 1901 was reaf­ firmed. The resolutions further call for the election of railroad and tax commissioners by a direct vote of the people, for municipal home rule, elec­ tion of United States senators by direct vote, favor the enactment of law mak­ ing it a criminal offense for any mem­ ber of the state legislature or a state officer to accept or use free transporta­ tion from any railroad company, de­ nounce the action of the state tax com­ mission in reducing tbe valuations of railroad properties, and commend the president of the United States for his courage and manly independence in adopting tbe principle of tegulation and control of rates of transportation.

L. Aller in Reliable Poultry Journal. A male bird capable of transmitting to his chicks tbe qualifications which go to make up his breed type with great uniformity is almost beyond price to the breeder. Such a bird is unques­ tionably often disposed of by the best breeders without having been given a trial, some one of bls brood brothers with something to bis advantage as a ■how bird, but looking in prepotency. having been selected Instead.

No. 40 board of trade banquet first EVENT of its kind in this city a big success. Nearly Four Hundred People Bnjoyed an Eleeant Feast and At- ter Dinner Speeches. The Hastings Board of Trade is to be congratulated on its first annual ban­ quet held last Friday evening at St. Rose’s hall. It was a big undertaking to provide a fine banquet for nearly four hundred people, handle tip crowds without confusion, serve them bounti­ fully and promptly, give them a pro­ gram of music and speaking and send them home at Ito close well pleased and happy over an evening delightfully and profitably spent. This is what the banquet committee of the board of trade, ably seconded by the ladies of the Eastern Star, accomplished last Friday evening. And right here it is a goud place to say that the members of the Eastern Star Chapter, No. 7, O. E. S. to whom was intrusted the prepa­ ration and serving of the menu de«erye great credit for the manner in which they fulfilled their difficult task. The bill of fare was fintclass In quality, abundant in quantity, and served with a promptness and system that would have done credit to any professional caterer. The members and their guests were assembled on their arrival in the base­ ment where by a system of checking, their hats and overcoats were properly disposed of, and where badges were given to the members. They then pro­ ceeded to the hall above which had been converted into a beautiful ban­ quethall. Five long tables extended lengthwise of the room while four smaller tables occupied the stage, in all containing covers for 380 people. The tables were very tastefully set, and embellished with cut flowers and potted plants, while at every plate was a but­ ton hole banquet, consisting of a carna­ tion and sprig of green. The seating of the guests was in charge of C. E. Doyle and Fred Steb­ bins and was accomplished in perfect order, to the music of Troxel's orches­ tra of eight pieces. After the Invoca­ tion by Rev. Fr. Connoys, the appetiz­ ing feast was the center of attention for an hour and a half. The menu was as follows: Eacalloped Oyster*. Cold Han Creamed Potatoes Pickle* Jelly Raked Bean* Biscuit Brown Bread Fried Cake* Ice Cream Cake Coffee. During the banquet Troxel's orches­ tra played numerous selections that added greatly to the enjoyment of the occasion. In introducing the toastmaster of the evening, Lee H. Pryor, President Kel­ lar Stem took occasion to say a few words in congratulation. Mr. Pryor on assuming his delicate duty proved himself fully competent to deal with it by his introductory remarks. His com­ ments on Introducing the several speakers were timely and forceful, his personal hiu were witty and effective and if at times his “roasts” were preUy hot, they were good natured and well received. ” After a vocal solo and a response to a hearty encore by Mr. Brown of Grand Rapids, C. F. Field spoke briefly on Boards of Trade, their Organisation and Object. He first defined boards of trade in the strict application of the term and then discussed them in the broader sense of citizens' associations for the promotion of civic improve­ ments. Boards of trade afford a com­ mon ground on which all citizens can stand and work in harmony for the common good. J. C. Barber, then presented the ad­ vantages of a Mutual Benefit Associ­ ation. He favored the formation of an organization of the employes of the factories of the city Into an association whose object should be to aid the mem­ bers in case of sickness and raise a death benefit fund. The toastmaster then called upon Frank Horton for a vocal solo and It is superfluous to say that Mr. Horton was called on to sing a second time. Secretary A. C. Brown then read an excellent paper on What the Hastings Board of Trade Has Accomplished. He showed that while the board has not been demonstrative in Its operations it has actually accomplished all that could be expected of it, during the short period since it was organized. Its secretary has written many letters and its board of directors has held many meetings for the consideration of propositions and the discussion of plans. He showed that the directors have not been idle, but have entertained several propositions of factory people to locate in Hastings, but thus far without suc­ cess because the right kind of proposi­ tions have not been made. He said the HASTINGS, MICHIGAN, THURSDAY, MARCH 9, 1905. aim of the board was to go slowly and carefully, laying a sure foundation for future success. The gas plant lately located here was secured through the efforts of the board and at the present time a plan Is being perfected that promises to be effective in locating de­ sirable factories. Just a Little Talk was the subject assigned to Hon. L. E. Knappen of Grand Rapids, and by its latitude Mr. Knappen took occasion to say a number of very nice things for Hastings his na­ tive town, for its board of trade, and for Mr. Whitworth who was to speak later. Miss Vinnle Ream was then called on for one of her happy interpretations and of cuorse she was called back for a second one. Judge Wm. F. Stine of Charlotte, though not. on the program, was then called on and made an appropriate im­ promptu response. Fred Spaulding next favored the audience with a vocal solo, and was heartily encored. Then came Mr. George G. Whit­ worth, president of the Grand Rapids board of trade, who gave the most pre­ tentious address of the evening, his subject being A Successful Board of Trifle. We cannot in this article do justice to Mr. Whitworth's talk, but must be content with saying that he was both entertaining and impresslye, embellishing his arguments with good stories well told.’ Judge Clement Smith followed, his theme being Co-operation Necessary in Municipal Progress. The judge spoke in his usual effective manner, among other things urging the import­ ance of establishing a public library. Our City Schools was the subject ap­ propriately assigned to Supt. A. W. Chamberlin. Mr. Chamberlin main­ tained that our public schools are to be classed as a business institution whose products are more valuable to the com­ munity than any other. Finally Rev. H. H. VanAuken brought the long program of speech making to a close by bls discussion of Our City and Its Opportunities, paying a glowing tribute to Hostings for its many attractions and bright prospects. The Binging of America by every­ body brought the exercises to an appro­ priate ending. Olivet College Wins Again. For the third time in flve years Oli­ vet College has won the first place in the oratorical contest of the Michigan Intercollegiate League. This gives Olivet a record for seven years of three firsts, three seconds, and only once os low aslthird. In six of these seven con­ tests the judges gave Olivet first place in thought and style. The League em­ braces nine colleges. It met this year at Albion on Friday, March 3, and the successful orator was Charles R. Tie­ bout of Roseland, La., a member of the Senior class at Olivet College. By winning this contest Mr. Tiebout be­ comes' Michigan's representative for the interstate contest at Minneapolis in May.' It Was the Lawyers' Treat. It will be remembered that last fall a remarkable game of ball was played at the fair grounds between the law­ yers and doctors of this city. The con­ test wss sharply contested and for a lon^f time the result trembled in the balance. Finally the doctors won and as previously agreed upon, it devolved upon the lawyers to set up a supper to the victors. For one reason or another the supper has been postponed from time to time. Although we are not sure about it, we rather suspect that it has taken all this time for the gentlemen of the bar to scrape together sufficient funds to war­ rant them in undertaking to satisfy the capacious appetites of their victors. We hope we have been sufficiently guarded in making this surmise to pre­ vent the legal gentlemen from com­ mencing an ac ion for libel against the Herald. At any rate the banquet took place Monday evening in G. A. R. hall, and was a very nice affair, Barnaby Bros, being the caterers.

There seems to be a serious hitch in the matter of building the new gas plant, owing to the opposition of citi­ zens who live near the site recently purchased by the company. These per­ sons claim that a gas plant is a nuisance to near by residents, and that their property will be Injured by its prox­ imity. The gas people on the other hand, insist that their plant will not be a nuisance nor a detriment to the neighborhood. The opponents of the present location are co-operating for the purpose of pre­ venting if possible the building of the plant there. They have sent a com­ mittee to ascertain conditions in other cities and wo understand this committee have had their impressions confirmed by what they have learned. It Is to be hoped that some satis­ factory compromise may be brought about which will avert the delay in constructing the plant that is now threatened. 11.00 A Year CHARGED WITH CRUELTY TWO WELL-TO-DO FARMERS AR­ RESTED BY HUMANE OFFICER Dying and Dead Horses, Sheep and Cattle Found on Barber Bros.’ Farm. A case of cruelty to animals has been brought to pqblic attention during the past week that reveals an astonishingly bad state of affairs on the farm where the inhumanity was committed. The two Barber brothers, Doles and Clark, men of middle age and unmar­ ried, live on the large and valuable farm of over 400 acres, situated on the north side of the town line between Carlton and Hastings. They generally keep a targe quantity of live stock and it is said that their neglect to take proper care of their animals has been notorious among the neighbors for a number of years. Several years ago on complaint being made against these men, the sheriff sent an officer to warn them to take suitable care^oftbeir stock. Lately it appears that affairs had got so bad that some one was finally prompted to notify the county officials and it was thought best to seed for Humane Officer Eugene Randolph, of Grand Rapids. That officer came over Saturday and accompanied by Sheriff Furniss, Prosecuting Attorney Pryor and City Marshal Phillips, he went out to the Barber farm to investigate, and what these officials found there is thus described by Mr. Randolph in the Grand Rapids Press: , "On the Barber farms I found fifty head of cattle, 150 sheep, twenty-five horses and a large number of hogs," said Mr. Randolph. "Except atone barn, all the stock was suffering ter­ ribly for lack of care. We found eight dead sheep, another dying, and many of the others almost starved. The Bar­ bers admitted to me that the sheep had bad no water all winder, but bad de­ pended on snow instead. "On one large barn floor which was almost filled with stock, I found one dead cow and one dead horse. The ani­ mals bad apparently been dead for sev­ eral days. No attempt was being made to remove the carcasses. "The stables were the filthiest im­ aginable. No trace of bedding was ap­ parent. The animals stood in manure softened by the warm weather up to their knees. So far as we could learn the stock was fed only once a day, and that very scantily. “The Barbers stated that they had raised 300 bushels of oats, 125 tons of hay, and forty acres of ccrn lastseason. There seemed to be sufficient feed for the stock, but it looked as if the ani­ mals had suffered from neglect. The brothers are well able physically and financially to care for their stock. They claimed they were taking good care of the animals.” Warrants were sworn out before Justice Bishop on complaint of Humane Agent Randolph for the arrest of Delos and Clark Barber on the charge of cruelty to animals. When arraigned they pleaded not guilty. The exami­ nation was set for Friday, March 10th, at 10 a. m. Mr. Randolph says it is the worst case of inhumanity that has ooms under his notice in sixteen years’ experience. The Barber brothers are intelligent men and their father was a man noted for his humane treatment of hta stock. These facts seem to make their own conduct ail the more unaccountable. Union S. S.

From time to time he turned to those about him commenting on tbe notable features of the parade,exchanging jokes with cabinet members and friends and In every possible manner displaying that almost boyish exuberance which is one of bls characteristics. When the last of the procession had passed the stand the president returned to the front portico of the White House and there received informally the mem­ bers of the rough riders troop which had served him as escort in his ranch­ ing days. Among those at the lunch­ eon and at this informal reception was big’’Bill” Sewall, the Maine guide who has been the president’s companion on so many hunting trips, together with Bill’s wife and sons and daughters and innumerable grandchildren, for Bill is no demonstrator of race suicide. An­ other notable figure ul the White House luncheon was SeLh Bullock, the Wy­ oming guide whose laconic warning, "Mr. President, I smell Injuns,” was the first intimation the president re eeived of the incipient rebellion against his nomination which occurred in the national committee, a littl i over a year ago. Another notable character who greeted the president on inauguration day, being among the first to grasp his hand under the White House portico, was a gentleman who bad left his na­ tive state, Missouri, for that state’s good, who once played a somewhat Im­ portant role in a successful effort to es­ cape tbe western penalty for horse stealing, but who Is a “good Injun” and a loyal republican now. Still an­ other piratical looking gentleman the Eresident recalled with tne remark, “I elieve tbe last time we met, wc en­ gaged in a little gun play, J— "Yes, Colonel, and I never got through thanking God that you drew quickest,” was the obvious!. sincere reply. In the evening the president, accom­ panied by Mrs. Roosevelt, Miss Alice and bls military and naval aides, at­ tended the inaugural ball in the great ball of the Pension Building, but be did not dance, contenting himself with looking down on the throng of beauti­ fully gowned women and brilliantly uniformed men, and responding to their salutes with smiles and bows. The bull room presented a picture of exceptional beauty with Its profusion of Dowers, its artistic arrangement of tiny electric lights and the magnificent assemblage which'had gathered to see and be seen. Throughout the day there was evident that spirit of good fellowship which is the chief character­ istic of American crowds. Democrats and republicans forgot politics and joined in rejoicing over the inauguration of a man whom all can respect, however much they may differ with him politically, of whom Amerlrans can be proud, even when they be­ lieve he is mistaken; whose personality, whose courage, whose purity nnd whose Americanism appeals to men of all parties and all nations. The inauguration of Vice-president Fairbanks, according to custom, pre­ ceded thu* of tbe president, and oc­ curred In the senate chamber. As the hands of the great clock indicated the hour of 12:00, the president pro tern of the senate, Mr. Frye of Maine, admin­ istered the oath of office to the vice­ president elect. Vice-president Fair­ banks then mounted the president's stand and delivered a brief address oc­ cupying barely Ove minutes in so do ing, although he spoke with great de­ liberation. When he had concluded the newly elected senators were sworn in and then the entire assemblage, in­ cluding President Roosevelt and his cabinet, proceeded to the inaugural stand on the east front of tbe capitol. The procession which moved slowly from the senate chamber to the stand was led by the president and vice-pres­ ident, the foreign (ambassadors follow­ ing. Then came the justices of the su­ preme court, followed by the members of the senate and of the house of rep­ resentatives. then the members of the cabinet, followed by the members of rhe press and they Id turn by the in­ vited guests.

Theodore Roa-evelt, twenty-fifth president of the United States, was in­ augurated shortly after noon today, Chief Justice Fuller of the United States supreme court administering the oath of office. No sooner had the pres­ ident completed the solemn yet simple ceremony of taking the oath Lhan all Washington reverberated with the boom of the great 10-incb guns on the monitor Puritan which lay anchored in the Potomac. Once, twice, thrice, the great guns boomed from the moni­ tor when there sounded a medley of roars from un and down the river, the selge guns at Ft. Myer, opposite George­ town, and those at Forts Foote and Washington below Washington taking up the salvo; each fort firing tbe presi­ dential salute of twenty-one guns. As the guns roared their stentorian greet­ ing, the great crowd on the capltul ! piazza sent up a mighty cheer. As soon as the noisy demonstration ceased the president stepped forward to the front of tbe rostrum and, appar­ ently addressing the classic statue of George Washington, delivered his in augural address. For but ten min­ utes be spoke, rapidly, but with clear enunciation. At the conclusion of his brief address the president descended from the plat­ form and returned to "the president’s room” in tbe capitol where he received the congratulations of senators and representatives, of diplomats nnd jurists 20 and of a host of personal friends. It was almost two o’clock when the 18 president, accompanied by the pieLuresque enthusiastic rough riders who 1 followed him in the famous charge up | San Juan Hill, and by truop A of the I New York National Guard, drove rnpidly up Pennsylvania Arenue, followed j slowly by the greatest civic and mil’- 1 tary pageant thut has thus fur assi-m- , bled in Washington to do honor to a newly inaugurated president.

First, there Is not ns much to learn about them. They will not overfeed, like chickens anti ducks. So long as you contrive some means to prevent their putting their heads Into the box or whatever you keep their feed in you can leave an unlimited supply always before them, but if they can get their heudH into the grain they will scatter quantities on the floor, where It will be wasted. Second, in raising squabs for market you never have to feed them, the old birds attending to all the . oung one's wants.—A. V. Mecrsch In Poultry News. Corn For Cblckena. The fact that coni for liens is largely opposed by a number of writers and breeders is simply n mere fad. Coni is pre-eminently the feed for fowl during midsummer, and esjieclnlly during tho molting period. It is very true that coni must be intelligently fed with a balanced ration.

There Are Fixed Forms of IStlqnelte Govern In* Their Treatment. While mistresses nnd housemaids In this country nre struggling to solve the vexed “servant problem" they do not appear to take Into consideration the fixed forms of etiquette governing the treatment of servants In England, which probably do much toward pro­ moting mutual understanding between the servants and the served over there. A housekeeper, a lady's maid and a head nurse belong to the helrarchy of a household. A lady's maid wears no cap and when lu attendance on her lady Is expected to be well but quietly dressed In black or some sober coloring. Her wages nre from ?15O to >200 a year, with the reversion of her employ­ er's wardrobe. An English maid Is al­ ways called by surname, “Smith" or “Jones,” but a foreign maid's first name Is used. “Marie” or “Francolse.” A lady speaking of her maid to other upper sen-ants, such as the butler or the housekeeper, would style ber “Smith” or "Marie,” but when men­ tioning her to housemaids or footmen she would be careful to allude to her as “Miss Smith” or “Mlle.

Manner In Which Thia Popstar Breed Wmu Obtained. . The black is tbe oldest variety of this popular breed of fowls and was intro­ duced to the public In 1880 by William Cook ot Englund, says American Agri­ culturist It was several years later before the breed was seen in this country, but It hns become very popular In tbe past year or two. The Orping­ tons In general appearance resemble the American breeds, but are possibly somewhat larger in s'ze. The manner In which the Orpington was obtained is thus given by William Cook, the originator: Over twenty-six years ago tbe Barred Rocks were imported Into Er.glaud. Then many black sports were found. These we tested and found that they laid thirty-five to forty more.eggs per year than tbe Barred Rocks batched from tbe same stock and began laying as pullets from one to six weeks earlier (ban their barred sisters from the same >en. The black bens were mated with Black Minorca roosters from the finest laying strains obtainable. Tho pullets hatched from .the two breeds were mated with Black Langsbau roosters. Then they were very short on the leg. When making a new breed, the last bird used represents the type of one's future production. The Lnngshnn nt that time was the best layer we had in England of a dark brown egg. “With the passing of the old type of German professor—formerly the butt of the comic papers, he of the shabby Keep Down Ltce and Mites. clothes nnd absent air—has gone much Ail Iowa correspondent of American of the old student life of Munich," writes N.

The Herald will go as far as its con temporary i in deprecating bitterness, In ( advocating harmonious effort for the <common good, and lo promoting a spirit ( loyalty to Hastings. It would be of ] pleased to see a genuine non-partisan ।administration the coming year. But |it also recognizes that both parties have ,a perfect right to nominate tickets if ,they want to and it does not propose to <condemn either party for acting out its ,convictions in the matter. It is probably better to have two good ।tickets than one in the field unless ।there is a general satisfaction withone, and we fear that this is not possible. The Herald believes that the best plan for conducting local elections is to nominate two non-partisan tickets, as is done in many municipalities. Then every voter is given a chance to exer­ cise his choice without being partisan, and the public takes an interest in the election which it will not take when thb result is a foregone conclusion.

President Warns the Wealthy That They Must Use for­ cation of claims against Sanio Domingo has been made, it has been made evi­ tunes in Right Way. dent that the United States is taking the proposed course onlv because Santo Domingo has requested it and not to insure the payment of foreign creditors. In fact, tbe changes already made are such as to lead some democrats to be­ lieve that they can, with propriety, support the agreement without estab­ lishing a dangerous precedent or ex­ tending, beyond the dictates ot caution and common sense, tbe Monroe Doc­ trine. The president continues to assure his callers that he purposes to present strong arguments in favor of some re­ vision of tbe existing tariff schedules in bis message to congress next autumn. The senate committee on finance has already made provision whereby it can bold hearings during the summer months and thus be in a position to deal with the subject intelligently and expeditiously, when congress meets. Tbe house, however, remains under tbe complete domination of Speaker Cannon and has made no provision for tariff work during the recess while leading members of the lower chamber assert that the speaker will “allow no tariff tinkering" next winter. There are a good many republican members of the nouse who fear that if tbe speak­ er adheres to this position all next win­ ter it will mean a democratic majority in the following house, but it seems in­ credible that the speaker can continue to resist tbe insistence of the president and tbe convictions of adarge majority of the American people much longer. Criticism of the repotT on the beef trust, made to congress by Commission­ er ot Corporations Garfield, has brought out the fact that the sensational por­ tions of the report were suppressed, it being claimed that for the government to have .node public these portions would have hampered the efforts of tbe department ot justice in its crimi­ nal prosecutions of tbe big packers. Of course if the criminal prosecutions fail, the public will expect the entire report in order that it may judge ot the strength of the federal case. [From Our Regular Correapondeac.) Washington,D. C., Mar. 11, 1905. Now that congress has adjourned the -‘little deals," whereby -junkets were arranged for in the rush incident to the closing hours of the congress are coming to light. Quarter-master gen­ eral Humphrey left for Porto Rico and other Cai'ribcan points on the army transport, Sumner. General Humph­ rey takes with him a number of mem­ bers of congress, their wives and their sisters and their cousins and their aunts. Tbe men selected for this junk­ et are members of the bouse committee on rivers and harbors, and of course, the government pays the freight. They will visit Porto Rico, San Domin­ go and Cuba and other points which may be determined on from time to time us the jaunt progressesAnother junket, one of monster pro­ portions, is being arranged for. It will be a personally conducted excursion under the supervision of the secretary of war and the speaker of tbe house, and will compass the world. About fourteen members of the house, in ad­ dition to the speaker, expect to take the trip and a like number of senators. They will sail from San Francisco about the first of July on a Pacific mail steamer and will slop at Hawaii, and Guam and finally land at Manila. There they will become the guests of tbe Philippine government which will employ small transports and conduct tbe party about the archipelago. The members of congress who are to be of the party are insisting that the junket be arranged to return by way of »he Suez canal and the Mediterranean but Secretary Taft baa thus far opposed this plan on the ground that he would hardly have the nerve to take bo round about a way home at government ex­ pense. It is probable that other junkets have been provide^ for, but if so the appropriations for them have yet to be detected. It is not, perhaps, fair to call the summer meetings of the senate committee on interstate commerce a junket, although it is announced that if the committee finds Washington "too warm for comfort" it will repair to some pretty sea-side resort to finish its work, at government expense of course. The sudden death of Senator William B. Bate of Tennessee, as the result of a cold contracted on inauguration day, has afforded one more warning against holding the presidential inauguration at so inclement a season. Senator Bate became chilled on the inaugural stand, there being a fierce north wind blow­ ing across the front of the capltol, pneumonia followed and although he attended tbe session of the senate on Monday, on Thursday he breathed his last. Democrats in Washington wore much pleased at the courtesy shown the late senator from Tennessee, by tbe president, who, with his cabinet, attended the funeral services of the old confederate general and southern statesman. Tbe president is very busy these days, a host of callers coming to the White House each day, but he broke all engagements to show honor to the deceased senator from TennesThe senate is still debating the San Domingo treaty, but will probably con­ clude the argument next week. In fact it is freely predicted that it will be impossible to hold a quorum In Wash­ ington after Mar. 17. It is probable that the protocol will be ratified after having been very materially amended. Il would be impossible to ratify it with republican votes alone and in order to secure a sufficient number of democrat­ ic votes it will be necessary to material­ ly modify tbe convention. The treaty has been reported from the committee on foreign relations after being radi­ cally revised.

CORSET WARDS OFF A BULLET Saves Life of Girl Attacked by Lover, Washington, March 13.—President Roosevelt, In an address Sunday be­ fore the local meeting of the Ameri­ can Tract society, opposed the Idea ot permitting mere material well being to become the only Ideal of the nation. He said If the people of the republic were permitted to set this up as tbe one and only standard, they were lay­ ing up for themselves and the nation not merely trouble but ruin. Tbe President said wealth brought its responsibilities, and the man who accumulated a great fortune and did not use It well should be an object of pity and condemnation. “I believe that more and more wo shall accustom ourselves to looking at the great fortunes accumulated by certain men as being nothing in them­ selves," he said, “either to admire, to envy, or to deplore^ save as they are used well or 111.

Always remember to have your mail addressed to route and number, there being so many people by the same name receiving mail through the same office, some on rural routes, some by city de­ livery and others in gen'eral delivery. You can readily see that it is impossiblefor any clerk or carrier to guess every time which Jimmy Jones or Susie Brown a letter belongs to, with only tbe town and state address thereon. Mail is often carried here and there, causing a delay of several days before­ reaching the rightful owner, and only because it is not properly addressed. Therefore it would be advisable to al­ ways mention your complete address when writing to your correspond ento and have them do the same. I have beard of some people who have had mall service two or three years, and cannot now tell the number cf their routes, although the number is print­ ed in large figures on the side of every carrier’s wagon. Read it and then be sure to mention it after your name in every letter you write. The carriers have experienced no serious difficulty during the heavy snows, and found tbe roads opened In tolerably good shape, for which they tbank tbe patrons, but they did find a few patrons who neglected keeping a clear roadway in and out to their mail boxes This should always be looked after by tbe patron if he expects his mall. Please do not allow rigs to stand bitched, or any article to lie in front of mail box. Wc cannot deliver your mail if you do. - RURAL CARRIERS’ WORK. Some people think the rural carriers have a nice, easy Lime of it riieng over the country in their wagons. Not only Is tbe long drive every day. rain or shine, bad roads or good, (and as often bad os good), inclined to become mo­ notonous, but there are manifold duties belonging to tbe position that tbe public knows little of. Each carrier is re­ quired by the poetul regulations to keep a register of the hour of his de­ parture from and return to jbe post­ office each day, and the Lime on the trip. He must also keep a daily record, ot tbe number of pieces of mail he de­ livers and collects, divided into the various kinds. Besides this the carri­ er is required periodically to take a complete census of tbe patrons ou bls route, including all members of tbe family, the hired mao and the servant girl. AH this Is looked over, put in ab­ stract form by the postmaster for tbe use of himself and the department, and it is much easier told than done. The carriers are not poesestors of any great snap. The rural patrons have the snap. Following is correct amount oJ business handled on route No. 2, Hastings, 1004. I did not keep track of money orders but would average about 30 per month. Now, dear patrons of rural routes, tbe suggestions I have written are for mutual benefit between yourself and carrier, and I think if you will try to practice them, the carrier will serve you to the best of bis ability in every instance; and by working in harmony much will be gained toward better ser­ vice. According to information given out by the posLofflee department up to Jan. 1, 1904, 7,050 fourth class officers had been abolished by tbe establishment of rural free delivery.

Three Vlewe ot the Railroad Rate Question. At a dinner given by a Boston eco­ nomic club the other day speeches were made by three mon who no doubt rep­ resent pretty accurately the attitude of tho railroads, the government and the judiciary towards tho rebate and freight rate question which the presi­ dent bas undertaken to solve. Charles A. Prouty, a member of the Interstate commerce commission, defended the at­ tempt of the administration through legislation, to overcome tbe eviA now obtaining in the matter of rebates and freight tariffs, asserting that the regu­ lation of these things was not beyond the scope of national legislation. President Wilcox of the Delaware and Hudson River railroad, spoke for tbe railroads, vigorously opposing the attempt of the government to dietate what tbe railroad rates of tbe country should be, and claiming that there was already enough legislation to remedy existing evils if it was en­ forced. Judge Peter S. Groeecup of Chicago, ■peaking no doubt as a man of judicial habits would be prompted to speak, took a conservative stand between the other two, seeing serious danger in this question unless it were handled with delicacy both by tbe president and the railroad men. It is not to be disputed that Judge GroMcup’s warning is based upon sound reasoning. A question tbas involves tbe tremendous power of fixing freight rates is one that ought not to be settled offhand. Tbe rights of the public on the one side and of the railroads on the other should be carefully protected. The railroads are protesting that it is not tbe province of government to in­ terfere with such a complicated and, as they claim, purely technical, detail of business as the fixing ot freight tariffs. The government, however, can reply with strong show of justice, that tbe transportation business of the country is so vitally concerned with the public welfare, that it assumes a semi-public character and that under the constitu­ tional right conferred upon congress to regulate commerce between the states, it Is not only permissible but the duty of the government to control the rate question, so far as to prevent abuses of the power of making rates. There Is no possible doubt that Presi­ dent Roosevelt’s railroad policy is popu­ lar. There may be a doubt, however, ' as to how far he ought to go in the mat­ ter and it may well be that Judge Grosscup’s statement that tbe question is full of danger unless handled deli­ cately, is one which tbe president will do well to heed. I ; 8 I The Slowness of Legislation. i I F II * upon local bodies, such us city councils and boards of supervisors. Those mal­ tera which exclusively concern tbo cily of Detroit, or the county of Burry, ought not to depend upon the plea**. re of the state legislature. A home rule law would be a great re­ lief to the work of general legislation. Although tbe legislature bos been In session over two months the amount of legislation accomplished thus far is alBKMt nothing, less than half a dozen general bills having been passed, most «f the attention of tbe members having been taken up with local measures. It h fair to assume, however, that a great deal of work that is being done by tbe committees will materialize In the form . of legislation before the session closes. And yet, even admitting that much of tbe business of tbe legislature, trans­ acted in tbe committee rooms, does not appear in the daily proceedings, it will not strike tbe thoughtful observer of public affairs that the people of Michi­ gan are getting very valuable returns for tbe thousand dollars a day they are paying for the privilege of having their laws made. It would seem to a buslness man that all the really necessary measures might be enacted easily inside of sixty days. As a matter of fact, however, legisla­ tors are not overly anxious to clean up the business which they have to do so as to make as Huie expense as possible. Matters that might ba attended to early in the session are generally put off, and so the business of tbe session is allowed to accumulate until the closing days, when everything is done with a rush. It is because of this propensity of all legislative bodies to procrastinate busi­ ness until necessity compels action, that makes it necessary to fix by con­ current resolution a day of final ad­ journment. Unless this were done there would be no telling when any legislative body would be ready to ad­ journ, except of course when its life ex­ pired by limitation. ‘ If a law could be passed limiting the sessions of a legislative body to a reas­ onable number of days, it seems fair to believe that the function of leg­ islation would be just as well performed as it is now, and at a considerable sav­ ing of expense. Especially would this be likely, if the business of local legis­ lation which now consumes so much time, could be taken out of the bands of the state lawmaking body and conferred The tremendous struggle between the Russian and Japanese armies around Mukden is probably destined to take its place in history ns one of the epoch making battles of the world. After the awful punishment which the Russians have just received at the bands of their irrestible enemy, it does not seem probable that the war will be greatly prolonged. Both nations must be greatly exhausted in tinancial re­ sources as well as in men by the magni­ tude of the operations that have been 'carried out. Russia indeed has in reserve great resources of men and material. But it is doubtful whether in the present at­ titude of the Russian mosses the czar could depend upon bis dissatisfied and sullen people to reinforce his depleted armies in Manchuria and offer them­ selves as sacrifices in a cause that means so Hale to them. Ou the other hand the Japanese, flushed though they must be with us brilliant a success as any nation has ever attained, are showing such a spir­ it of self control and moderation that they are likely to be reasonable in their demands. The financial drain upon tbe Mikado’s government is necessarily great, and it may be exceed­ ingly prudent for these victorious peo­ ple to be satisfied with such terms as Russia could accept without too deep a humiliation. Thus there seems reason to believe that rumors of peace are founded on something substantial and that Field Marshal Oyoma’s splendid victory at Mukden will be followed by successful negotiations of peace. Primary Reform in Wayne County, The primary election in Wayne coun­ ty last week will not afford much satis­ faction to those who claim that tbe di­ rect nominating system will not enlist the active support of the voters, that' they will not turn out to tbe primaries, and that therefore tbe system will be no better than tbe caucus and conven­ tion system. Quite to the contrary there was a general interest and a big vote polled in Wayne county at the re­ cent primaries. Moreover the election was universal­ ly free from corrupt practices, the law against “working” at or near the polls being' generally enforced. Another gratifying result of the Wayne primary election was that the best candidates in both parties were successful. Both the county nominees and the city are good, clean men, and it will make little difference so far as personal character Is concerned, which party is successful. If tbe people of Detroit show such an interest in their primary election, and if they choose good candidates, why should not tbe people in the state at large show a similar interest and good judgment if given a chance? If the principle of direct nominations can be successfully applied in Wayne county wby not in all counties? The friends of a general primary election law have reason to be encour­ aged on account of the favorable show­ ing made by the local experiment in Wayne and Kent counties. 4 Alfalfa ns Poultry Food. Care of Sows a.t Farrowing Time Sows vary little in the period of ges­ tation. Tills period is about 112 days from the date of breeding.

ABANDON GUNS AND SUPPLIES Flowing Soldiers Ar* Shot Down as They Endeavor to Run tho Gauntlet of Japanese Lined Up on Either Side of the Road. Tokk>, March 13.—Tbe retreatlac. demoralized Russians are being _ driven headlong towards strong forces ot Japanese, which are already occupy­ ing positions fifteen miles south ot Tteling, practically barring retreat Japanese troops already are in touch with Tie pass. The tip of the Japanese left in twenty miles northwest of Tie pass and closing in. The pursuit of the Russian army continues. The rear ^uard has been cut off. The Japanese have captured 500 gun's and a great quantity of bullion. This is over 40 per cent ot the Rus­ sian artillery. Russian Loss la Heavy. Everything points to a total Rus­ sian loss of fully 200,000 men. Kouropatkin lost 90,000 killed and wounded and 40,000 prisoners along the Shakhe position alone. Reports from other parts of the battlefield are not at hand. The Russian dead left on the field along the Shakhe position numbered 26,500. The retreating Russians have lost the semblance of an army. They are short of food and of ammunition. In order to block the further re­ treat of the shattered Russian force the Fifth army (Gen. Kawamura’s) is reported to have made a forced march of forty miles in one day around the extreme Russian left This force, it is reported unofficial­ ly, has occupied Blntln. on the Muk­ den road, ten miles south of Tiel*ng. Tie pass, which is naturally strong, has been extensively fortified, and it is thought the Russians will rally there in an endeavor to check the Japanese. Field Marshal Oyama, reporting early on Sunday, said: "Prisoners, spoils, and the enemy s estimated casualties against all our forces in the Shakhe direction follow, but the prisoners, guns, and spoils are increasing momentarily. “The prisoners number over 40,000, Including Gen. Nakimoff. “Tbe killed and wounded are esti­ mated Pt 90.000. The enemy's dead left on the field number 2G.5C0. "The spoils include two flags, about sixty guns. 60,0°0 rides. 150 ammuni­ tion wagons, 1,000 •carts, 200,000 shells, 25,000.000 round?. of small arms am­ munition; 75.C00 bushels of cereals, 275,000 bushels of fodder. 45 miles of light railway outfit. 2,000 horses, 23 carlots of maps, 1,000 cart loads ot clothing and accouterments, 1,000,000 rations of bread, 70,000 tons of fuel, and 60 tons of hay, besides tex.Is. tents, bullocks, telegraph wire and poles, timber, beds, stoves and num­ erous other property. “No report from tbe Slngklng direc­ tion has been received.• "The battle has been officially named the battle of L'ukdcn. Japanese Casualties. "Reports from the chiefs of the medical corps of all the armies have been received from Feb. 26 to *»avch 12. Our total casualties at that time were 41,222." Field Marshal Oykma, reporting un­ der date of Saturday night, says: "All our forces advanced to tbe right of the Hun river and vigorously pursued tbe enemy in all directions. We reached a line thirteen miles north of the Hun river the afternoon of March 10. On March 11 we con­ tinued a vigorous pursuit. Our forces advanced nprth from the Vicinity of the Pu river and Immediately after its departure er?-.ged with a large column dt the enemy retreating north. After a hand-to-har.d battle we sur­ rounded and captured the column. In the vicinity of Mukden a remnant of the enemy continues a hopeless re­ sistance or is surrendering. Clearing operations are progressing. “The enemy's dead are massed everywhere and we have been unable to inter them as yet. The minute in­ vestigation of the losses inflicted at several places has not been finished; but the ei.emy's killed, v-ouaded, pris­ oners and spoils are enermous. The spoils of clothing and provisions are in great piles, resembling hills.” Succeeding field, reports increase the extent of the Russian disaster. It will require months to resupply and reorganize the Russian armies. Esti­ mates of casualties given by cap: tlves reach 40 per cent The artil­ lery lows were especially heavy. The captured guns hare not yet been cc unted. but the numerous captured stores and munitions arc valued at millions of dollars. This less materi­ ally adds to the crippling of the Rus­ sian armies.

Nowadays tbe l>est story teller Is frequently the | beggar man who. traveling over great ' areas, meets the shanachles of mnny I pnrts and acquires a vast fund of tales, true and otherwise. Most exciting are bis narratives of the doings of Finn Macoul and his warriors, of giants, fairies and banshees. In more than one of his romances the hero is the good St. Patrick himself, of whom he tells such tales as that of ills conversion of Ossian, son ot Finn. Ossian met a beautiful m«lden, rid­ ing on an enchanted white . jtsc, near tbe lakes of Killarney. Site told him she was Nlam of tbe Golden Hair, daughter of tbe king of Tlr-n-an-og, and that she had come to Erin to see him. whose great renown bad reached her own country. He fell promptly in love with Nlam, of course, nnd went back with her to Tlr-n-an-og, where they were married. He remained with Nlam for 200 years. Then be longed to set Erin again and his old friends, nnd Nlam said he might go if he would promise to come back, nnd she let him take the enchanted white horse to ride on. Great was Ossian’ • -arrow when he reached Erin to find t t the Fenians were all dead and that tiie race of men was small and weak. He sought to show the pygmies what feats of strength n man of the old time could do when tbe girth of his saddle broke and the enchanted horse ran away, leaving Ossian behind, small and weak, like tbe others, and old. Ossian heard of St Patrick, who was introducing a new worship Into Ireland, and be binm­ ed him for the sad state of the country. He went to see the saint nnd remon­ strate with him nnd stayed with him four years, each trying during that time to bring the other to his way of thinking. At Inst the heathen was con­ verted, after he had been given n glimpse of Finn and his warriors in •bell, but even then his conversion was unsatisfactory nt first. In Ossian's vision Finn aud his men were seen fighting tbe devils for hick of better foes. Finn's weapon was n flail, and with it he was doing great execution, but always just as victory was within his grasp the thong of bls flail would break and he would be beaten back. “Kneel down and pray," said Patrick to Ossian. And, to his joy, Ossian-knelt, but not for forgiveness or salvadon did he pray. “Great God,” he said, “Pat­ rick’s God. give Finn a thong of iron for bls flail." The saint remonstrated with him for bls Irreverence, but Os- . slan said: “Leave me alone. Sure, Finn I would never send any one to a place ' like that.” But in the end Patrick ' prevailed, and Ossian became a good ( Christian. ; ST. PATRICK AS AN EDITOR Outside of Ireland and among those who are not of Irish descent the com­ mon knowledge of St. Patrick’s life and labors extends no further than that it was he who converted the Irish to Christianity and that some strange leg­ ends of his ministry are believed to tbe present day by the descendants of bls converts. To speak of St. Patrick among these ns a great editor would doubtless arouse Incredulity. Yet one of Patrick's most important works in Ireland nnd one which sur­ rounded him with an undying glory even before his canonization was done in an editorial capacity. He nnd his associate bishops edited the’ Brehon code of laws, the great ornament of the pognn civilization, so as to make It conform in all its parts with the word of God. Perfectly fair and just, the code was still permeated with tiie su­ perstitions of the old Idolatry, nnd the harmony of society demanded their ex purgation when the new order came. A Roman subject, St. Patrick has been praised for bls forbearance in re­ fraining from injecting into the Irish code the essence of Roman law, but it is not certain that he was familiar with the latter. Torn from his native Gaul by a predator}' Irish band when scarce­ ly sixteen, he became thoroughly Irish in his years of slavery in Ireland. This Is made evident by the fact that Latin was to him a foreign tongue when he escaiMMl to Gaul to prepare for tbe priesthood. But what Patrick nnd bls Episcopal assistants could do in editing the code was to give special privileges to the clergy. It was not to be altered again, aud all was left In their hands. That the new priesthood required new privi­ leges would be the easiest thing imagi­ nable to demonstrate to the new con­ verts. Whnt was done? In the Brehon law there was the dire flue or full honor price which might be imposed on each, according to his dignity, for the heavier offenses, among which, by the way, was lying. Thera was also the half honor price, which one might be fined for offenses of less vlclousness. Re­ fusal of food was one of these. For the second grade offenses no one lost bls full honor price until convicted a third time. But for churchmen Pat­ rick made an exception. They bad to pay the full fine for the very first of­ fense and besides be degraded in rank. A still stricter rale was imposed on bishops. Churchmen of lower grade, thus convicted, could recover their grade, but a bishop could not He must resign hia high office and become a hermit. Thus did Patrick provide that an erring priest should be pun­ ished more severely than the erring layman and the erring bishop more severely than any other. A great man truly, n great law edi­ tor, was Patrick, son of Calpornius. 15he "Poet-s Of Ireland By PATRICK SULLIVAN [Copyright. 1906. by C. N. Lurie.] CHOSE who have not acquired a certain facility in the use of the Gaelic can never appreci­ ate fully tbe characteristic singing quality of ancient Irish verse. Those who know tbe language even superficially are familiar with this rare distinction and can understand readily bow impossible it Is to translate Its melodious rhythm into tbe barbarous Basunnach. The Gaelic is a language which needs no accompaniment of Jute or burp to convert it into song. Like many of tbe dialects of the North American Indians, It was poetry before it was written and sang Itself into the hearts of the people long ages before it was reduced to grammatical exactness. The most ancient Gaelic manuscripts in exist­ ence are distinctively poetic In con­ struction. It bas been asserted that tbe entire Druidic system was poetical in its inception nnd development, nnd there are manuscripts In tbe conti­ nental museums dating from the period Immediately preceding the arrival of the Christian missionaries which seem to give character to the theory. This hypothesis has led Some eminent Gaelic investigators to believe that this lan­ guage. like tbe Romance dialects of tbe continent, was poetry first and was converted into prose only when the ex­ igencies of tbe times demanded tiie mu­ tilation. Be ail this as it may. It is certain that Irish writers of all ages, from tiie time of tbe evolution of the Osslnnlc cycle down to tbe middle of the hist century, have preferred to express themselves in verse. When tbe last vestiges of disappearing heathendom were still contending with triumphant Christianity, both cults found their champions among tbe poets. No sub­ ject was too abstruse or too theoretical to be discussed In verse. The Ossian! e legends are for tbe most part recitals In glowing verse of deeds which In any other country and by any other people would have been told in prose. The best early history of St. Patrick, and tbe one frequently referred to for cor­ roborative evidence, is tbe metrical composition of St. Flech. The ad­ ventures of Ossian, Druidic poet and warrior, may be as mythical as are those of Arthur, but the long succession of poets who have banded down those exquisite legends, If they be so, have done their work admirably. Tiie middle and modem periods of Irish literature are replete with metrical performances that would do credit to the poets of any age. and the revival of Gaelic study which has sprung up in Ireland will make their superiority apparent. It is characteristic of the modesty of Irish poets that throughout tbe djder periods almost all the greatest works nre anonymous. When tiie island’s lit­ era tui-e began to decline, poetry mani­ fested no falling off. The singers con­ tinued to evolve their characteristic melodies, and tbe quality was ns admi­ rable as was the quantity. The seven­ teenth century witn&sed a marked lhange In the form of Irish verae. The uetrlca) system of the old bardic •cbools gave way to a new verse form In which tbe rhyme was primarily voeaUc. The use of vowel rhymes was •xtended, and in the course of time a | itrangely melodlus verse form resulted.< Entire poems were constructed with, the same accented vowels recurring I throughout in orderly sequence. The ild classic style persisted until the be[fonlng of the eighteenth century, and then it practically disappeared. Some »f its leading representatives were Telg Mac Dalre and Lughaidh O’Clery. the t 'amoos principals in “The Contention d tbe Bards;’* Telg Dall O’Hlgln and Eochaldh O'Hussey. Among the most gifted of the poets who adopted the new versification, may be numbered Torlough O'Carolan, Brian Mac Glolla Meldhre. whose “Midnight Court” is one of tbe most remarkable works in any language; John O’Ncaghtan, Timo­ thy O’Sullivan and Egan O'Rahilly. During the nineteenth century the Gaelic fell Into practical disuse for lit­ erary purposes. In recent years a move­ ment has been made to restore the lan­ guage and to revive Irish literature. The Gaelic league has become a very powerful organization, and it is waging a popular and most successful cam­ paign in behalf of the ancient tongue. The Society For Preservation of the Irish Language is also doing a mighty work toward the restoration of tbe ele­ gant and mellifluous Gaelic., But the Irish do no*, owe their unique talent for versification to the superi­ ority of tbe Gaelic as a vehicle nnd to nothing else. The Irishman is a poet in whatever language he Is constrain­ ed to employ. Some of tbe bej-t Latin verses of the scholastic ages were penned by Irish poets. There are nu­ merous sermons nnd dogmatic treatises in faultless Latin verae which made their appearance during those blessed days of Christian ascendency when the culture and scholarship of the rotintry were centered at Armagh. Those were the days when the scholastics spoke THOMAS MOORE. and wrote in almost classical Latin and theses and disputations were put Into flowing verae. Under tbe influence of the true Gaelic temperament the unresponsive and un­ musical English hns been made to yield marvelous results. Burns* polyglot meHum won on account of Its qunlntneas and the genuine minstrelsy behind it all, and Scott almost caught the trick jf the ancient story telling bares and wandering minstrels, but Tom Moore was the wizard who transformed gut­ turals into harmony and sibilants into longs. His Irish lyrics are the self ringing melodies of the old Gaelic aarplsts reproduced In an alien tingue. Since tbe time of Elizabeth the lyric had been dissociating itself from mulie. Moore united them so perfectly ind so intelligently that the whole Vorld broke Into melody. Scarcely less admirable in its literary workmanship and not a whit lexs pa­ triotic Is the poein by John Kells In­ gram, entitled “The Memory cf the Dead," which begins thus: Who fears to speak of ninety-eight? Who blushes nt the name? When cowards mock the patriot's fate, Who hnnas his hend for shame? • He's all a knave or half a slave Who slights his country thus. But a true mnn like you, man.

It was thought well worth the cost, and will •be taken by members. A letter was also received from the legislative committee of the state grange. Attention was called to an amendment to the state constitution, to be voted upon at the spring election, allowing state (and possibly national) aid in good road improvements. Also to legislation desired by the federated agricultural organizations of the state, No. 5. "Regulating the use and provid­ ing for the registration of all automo­ biles,” was acted upon, by resolution, and adopted unanimously. A number of the members will write to our state representative, endorsing this acd 'Other specific objects mentioned. On account of tbe absence of the Worthy Lecturer the program was in charge of our former Lecturer, Mrs. • Nettie Brown. The program was giv­ en as laid out, none falling to respond as requested. The topic for discussion, "The best way of packing butter for long keeping, and best time to pack ■for winter use,” was led by Mrs. Altha Dutcher, who gave her method of mak­ ing butter; she thought September was ■the best time to save for winter use. Another thought June butter was the best and brought best price sold in tbe fall. A (former stay-at-home) granger says butter should be well packed in good stone jars,- and kept in a cool, -even temperature (In tbe cellar). The butter should be covered with a clean -cotton cloth, and covered with an inch -of clean salt level with the top. The salt should be saturated with water and wet occasionally as the water evapo­ rates. Commence packing when the •price falls, if in -May or June, which makes best quality butter. But it is better to contract the butter and save the work, if possible. The program for March 25th will be ■■as follows: Roll call, Quotations. Son j by the Grange. Recitation, Cora Dutcher. Reading.

"Never put off ’till to-morrow what you can do to-day,” is now generally presented in .this form: “Do it to-day!” That is the terse advise we want to give you about that hacking cough or demoraliz­ ing cold with which you have been struggling for several days perhaps weeks. Take some reliable remeky for it to-day—and let that remedy be Dr. Bosebee’s German syrup, which has been in use for over thirty-five years. A few doses will undoubtedly relieve your cough or cold, and iu continued use for a few days will euro you com­ pletely. No matter how deep-seated your cough, even if bread consumption has attacked your lungs, German Syrup will surely effect a cure—as it has done before In thousands©! apparently hope­ less cases of lung trouble.

Czar Nicholas, his court and the Rus­ sian autocracy are vividly pictured by Perceval Gibbon in "What Ails Rus­ sia,” In the April McClure’s. Perceval Gibbons is a St. Petersburg correspon­ dent, and has a first hand acquaintance with .his subject, and tbe gift of a trenchant, powerful pen. His strong narrative carries a shock to the Ameri­ can mind. It deals with a state of so­ ciety that is almost conceivable because it is so far outside of our experience. Nicholas, os Mr. Gibbon has seen him, is a pitiable, sorrow-stirring figure. "Little, scared, fooled," be calls him, “blind, ineffective, and hysterical;” and as u correspondent this writer has had unusual opportunities of getting at the man beneath the official effigy. Tbe truth of his estimate cannot be doubted. It* is the composite of the opinions of unofficial St. Petersburg. Tbe grand dukesand the dead weight of rotten autocracy they represent are treated succinctly and with equal pow­ er. "They are the blanket that smothers the struggling flame of civilization, these grand dukes, the tombstone that holds down the coffined soil of Russia.” The story is portentous in its tone, so great and so cruel are the sufferings of the people. It gives an understanding of tbe horrors of the revenge that Is perhaps even now being taken. Assyria Grange, No. 128, is engaged in a contest making quite lively timps among its members, each one trying to do his or hor best for their respective! side and anticipating something at tbe -close worth working for beside their 'regular attendance. . Not only that but such a contest is an -advantage to the grange by adding new members and by benefiting the community at large. For where you see a good working grange you may know there is something being done towards helping to make everything in the line of farming on advantage to the zfarmer. For what kind of toil is there 'that is so ennobling as that of the farm­ er. Our farmers are sneered at a great many times by our city cousins,Jjut if ihey would only stop to think of what they owe to the farmer it seems to me they would feel more like taking him -by the hand and feeling it to be an ihonor to be allowed the privilege of so doing. Selling and buying is tbe order of the day. T. J. Norris has sold his •farm to George Campbell and bought -the old Erb farm in the town of Balti­ more and will soon move thereon.

All hope of ratifying the Dominican protocol has been abandoned by the president and republican leaders but the senate has not yel adjourned sine die, remaining in session on the ground that there are certain judicial nomina­ tions which must be confirmed before final adjournment can be taken. On Thtraday Senator Morgan of Alabama sprung a sensation on the senate by at­ tempting to show that William Nelson Cromwell, the lawyer who engineered the sale of the Panama Canal property to the United States und who is sus­ pected by some democrats of having In­ cited the Panama revolution, hud been the deus ex muehina of the San Domin­ go situation. Senator Morgan exhibited to the sen­ ate letters from a Mr. and Mrs. Reeder, formerly of Alabama, in which they charged that Cromwell had defeated a treaty between Santo Domingo and the United States, which has been pre­ pared by Mt. Reeder, and that he had caused lo be substituted the protocol now under consideration by the senate. When the •‘proposed” Reeder treaty was read in the senate it was found to afford every advantage to tbe republic of Santo Domingo and to "the Reeder syndicate” but none to this country and it occasioned considerable ridicule at tbe hands of tho republicans, but there are many democrats who believe that there may be some foundation for Mr- Morgan's charges, at lean suffi­ cient to warrant a very thorough inves­ tigation. Senator Morgan has Intro­ duced in tbe senate a resolution in­ structing the committee on foreign re­ lations to conduct such Investigation, by sub-committee or otherwise, but at present there seems little likelihood of its adoption. Meanwhile, Mr. Crom­ well has himself emphatically denied that he has now or ever had any con­ nection whatsoever with Santo Domin­ go or that he would profit in any res­ pect from the ratification of the proto­ col. There is a mystery in Washington affecting the proposed modification of the tariff schedules by congress at its next session. The mystery attaches to the promoters of a report that the re­ publican leaders are contemplating placing a small duty on coffee with a view to avoiding the necessity of revis­ ing the tariff so that it will afford less, protection and produce more revenue. It Is obvious that some method of in­ creasing the federal revenues must be found as the federal expenses have materially increased and the adminis­ tration will be compelled to draw heav­ ily this year, as it did last, on the ac­ cumulated surplus, but it is not true that there has been any thought of placing a duty on coffee, or tea, as is reported. This report has been indus­ triously circulated in XVashington for some days but for a time no one of the more reliable newspapers could he in­ duced to father It. Finolly.it was con­ fided to a firm of newspaper writers whose business consists of circulating reports for pay, and then one of the leading newspapers of the country dis­ played it prominently in its columns. The questions naturally arise: Who is lo profit by lhe circulation of this re­ port? To whom Is it of sufficient !mr Krtance to warrant their paying nroislonal newspaper writers to circulate it? Is it a slock jobbing deal? Does it emanate from German diplomatic cir­ cles and Is it put forth with a view to estranging Brazil from the Uniled States for the benefit of the German trade? These are some of the questions which are being asked and to which no satisfactory answer is as yet forthcom­ ing. There is no doubt but that President Roosevelt will urge the next congress to revise the tariff, but there is consid­ erable doubt as to whether or not the congress will heed bls recommenda­ tions. There are strong indications that the senate will be readv to respond to the executive urging—in fact that body bos already taken the first step by authorizing its finance committee to sit during recess, hold hearings and sub-poeoa witnesses—but the senate can do nothing with regard to the tar­ iff until the house takes the initiative and that the speaker and tbe little coterie which with him control the low­ er chamber persistently refuse to do The initiation of a revenue measure is the one prerogative granted to the bouse by the constitution in which the senate does not share and the members are verv chary of doing anything which might appear like a yielding to the senate on that point, so that it Is entirely possible tnat the senate’s action, looking to a compliance with the president’s views, may have a de­ terrent effect upon tbe house.

It has sup­ planted discomfort with ease— it has banished the impossible and exaggerated figure-produced by the old corset idea. It re­ moves the strain of lacing from the sensitive parts of the body' , and throws all pressure upon the hips and the strong back muscles, supporting the stomach within the corset and not forcing it be­ low the garment. The Erect Form is made in more models than ever before. There are forty distinct styles of this popu­ lar make, each meant for a dis­ tinct type of woman. Dealers in all sized towns and cities the land over, sell the Erect Form. Prices range upward from $i. T this country and abroad. They are pronounced by scientists the most magnificent wurkof nature.

The inactivity of the legislature ap­ pears to be arousing the impatience of some of its more energetic members. Representatives Ellis and Senator Fyfe are both quoted by the Grand Rapids Press as very much out of sorts with the way things are dragging at Lansing. The former complains that the whole of last week was frittered away on nothing but local bills. ‘‘Those of us who are business men,” he says, “have neglected our business to come down here and sit through session after ses­ sion and listen to matters In which we are not at all interested and our dis­ tricts are not.” Senator Fyfe ex­ pressed the wish that “we had another Governor Pingree, a few Senator Helmes and about fourteen democratic members of the senate instead of a solidly republican body. Then we would get something doing and there would be a little life.” From tbe very nature of things how­ ever It is not to be expected that the legislature will show much energy in doing the business for which it is sup­ posed to have been elected. It is made up solidly of one party, and Is dominat­ ed by a lot of machine politicians who will be well pleased it the session can be brought to a close sometime next summer with a record of nothing done which the people waut done, but with their own plans for future aggrandize­ ment well advanced. It is certainly unfortunate for the people of Michigan that the legislature has no minority to stimulate it to action. The republican party in Michigan is too powerful for the common good and this fact will be recognized by many of the broader minded men of that party, just as Senator Fyfe admitted it In the words attributed io him above. There is ground for believing that better results would be attained if leg­ islators were paid a regular salary, and a bill fixing such salaries at $1000 a year, has been introduced by Repre­ sentative Harris. That sum may be too high. As a matter of fact any sal­ ary would be too high for some men who are sent to Lansing. But there is this much to be said in favor of the proposition: Better men could be in­ duced to run for tbe legislature if the compensation were greater, and it is a question whether competent men at a high salary would not be really cheap­ er for the state than mediocre men nt three dollars a day. At any rate If our law makers were placed on salary, we should not have the spectacle every two years of mas­ terly inactivity and lethargic dulness in the halls of legislation at Lansing. Tbe lingering delights of life In tbe capital city would lose much of their charm and tbe sessions would end in March instead of June. The Dominican Treaty. By adjourning and leaving the Santo Domingo treaty “in tbe air” the senate has again blocked the plans of Presi­ dent Roosevelt. Whether in so doing that body has subjected itself to the charge of narrowness and opposition to the best interests of tbe country is a far more debatable question than was raised by its course with reference to the arbitration treaties. Tbe action of the senate towards the latter was at­ tributable largely to a quibble over senatorial prerogatives and a sensitive­ ness almost puerile as to its treaty-mak­ ing powers. But its reluctance to ratify the Dominican treaty can easily be defended on broader grounds. The treaty with Santo Domingo amounts to a wide departure in our diplomatic policy. It will establish a precedent that may easily involve our government in great difficulty, perhaps in very grave complications with old world powers. It means that tbe Unit­ ed States is to become sponsor for all ■the foreign debts of the new worldsrepublics. If we undertake to manage the finances of tbe Dominican govern­ ment, as a sort of receiver, until the creditors of that corrupt and inefficient republic are paid, how long will It be before we have Venezuela and Colom­ bia on our bands. Thus the senate may have done wise­ ly In refusing to ratify a measure in­ volving such momentous possibilities, until there has been at least a long and mature consideration of its character in all its significance. The treaty maar. now go over until next December. Whether it will then succeed is a very .wide and open question. ponent is following in the same line on Columhna, the Hired Man.

Va., March 20.—In attempting to take the bodies of ten men from the Rush Run und Red Ash mines near Thurmond, fourteen other miners were killed by a second explo­ sion Sunday morning. The blast which cost the first ten Ilves happened Saturday night. Both explosions were caused by fire damp. The victims of the second were killed some time after they en­ tered the mine, and their bodies still are entombed. Naked Flame Ignites Gas. The first explosion seemed to shake the foundations of the mountains and a double flash of fire from the two neighboring drift mouths lighted up the sky for miles. From the mining villages for several miles up and down the river hundreds of persons rushed to the scene. The blast was caused by a “naked" flame coming In contact with the gas. Twenty men were in the rescue par­ ty. They explored the mines for two or three hours, putting up brattices so pure-air should follow them wher­ ever they went Finally some of them came out and reported the others were too careless In going forward faster than the good nir was being supplied. At 3:45 o'clock (he second explosion happened, caused by the gas coming in contact with the flame of a miner's lamp. This explosion was not so forcible as the first, but the flames reached the top of the shaft. Explosion Causes Havoc. The flames from the drift mouth set fire to everything In reach that was not blown away by the explosion. The great drum by which tbe loaded cars are run from the drift mouth down the Incline to tho dumping place was blown from Its fastenings and down the mountainside GOO feet, while the drumhouse caught fire nnd was con­ sumed. The cars that stood nt the mouth of lhe mine ’■■ere blown far down the incline nnd much of ’he track was de­ stroyed. The rai’s were twisted and the cross ties whipped from their beds In the ballast and sent scorched and charred many yards away. Tho big fan that furnished air in the mine was so damaged (hat It was several hours before It could be started again.

FEARED BEING LED INTO TRAP Declares His Statement in Smoot In­ vestigation That He Did Not Re­ ceive Revelations Was Untrue, and Utters Attack on Critics. Salt Lake City. Utah, March 20.— Spurred on by attacks from within the church President Joseph F. Smith of the Mormon church Sunday pro­ claimed to a large audience of the faithful In the tabernacle that he had given false testimony before the sen­ ate committee on privileges and elec­ tions. He announced he does receive revelations direct from God. Testifying In the Smoot case Presi­ dent Smith denied several times that he received revelations, declaring at one time “I have had impressions of the spirit on my mind frequently, but they are not revelations." The doctrine of revelation is one of tho cardinal principles of the Mormon faith, and the criticism of Smith by " tho Mormons tor denying that doc- A trine has been strong ever since he was a witness. Denounces Critics. President Smith explained that he gave the testimony he did in Washing­ ton “because they were trying to put him into a trap," and because the sen­ ators could not understand what the revelation meant. He denrunced Can­ non and Smurthwalte and all hls other critics. "When I was first baptized," he said, "Gotl revealed to me that I had done an act which ho approved. That was a revelation to me and it has been a stay and staff to me in all my dally walks. God revealed to me that Joseph Smith was a prophet. He re­ vealed to me that Brigham Young suc­ ceeded to the presidency rightfully, and 1 would not be without that revelation for all the gold in all the world. "He revealed to me also that other presidents since then have succeeded rightfully. I leave It to you to judge whether or not the Lord willed that I should be where I am. I will- not be my own judge. I leave it for you to weigh. It Is enough for me to live rightly. ■ Few Receive Revelations. “Don’t be alarmed If you don’t re­ ceive any great .wonderful revelations yourself. Just live a righteous life; that is all that Is needed. God has revealed many" things to me for my own guidance. He will reveal him­ self to you also If you live the right­ eous life. "The devil is a defamer of charac­ ter. You never heard of a bad man going around and saying tha. other men were good. No, that is not the devil’s mission. Hls mission is to pollute what is pure and to make a sacrilege of what is holy. The mas­ ter, God, said that if they have treat­ ed me In that manner, so also will they treat you. To my mind the strongest evidence of our divine mis­ sion Is the fact that those who are evil disposed, are trying to blacken our character. I do not fear to be judged by tbe impartial and just, but none of us is willing to submit to the . judgment of our enemies. J Warns Against Enemies. ’ “Don’t forget that from time to time antl-chrlsts will come among you—men who have eomipted and wasted their own lives. God will deal with them. We cannot live togeth­ er with them. We must-dlsfellowship the anti-ebrists, those who raise their bands against God. Do we interfere with their liberty of speech when we disfellowshlp them? Not at all. Not we only give them more liberty. We . cut them loose; turn them adrift; 1st them go. “The senators were trying to put me Into a trap." “As prophets of lhe olden time had one kind of revelations from God.” said Apostle Charles W. Penrose, “so do the prophets of to-day have anoth­ er kind. Joseph Smith believed In living the word of God. Those who have succeeded, him have the sama belief. They themselves are prophets of the most high God, as great as any of the eastern hemisphere. When President Joseph F. Smith said he did not have revelations, it was in reply to a question frpm men who would not understand the meaning of tbe word, ‘revelation.’ They were try­ ing to lead him into a trap. They meant revelations such as Moses bad." DIES LOOKING AT MIMIC DEATH. Father Collapses on Viewing Son, Who Plays Part of Corpse. Cullman. Ala., March 20.—At Good Hope, near here, J. M.

These Are the Honor Students. The chief event of interest in the high school last Friday afternoon was lhe announcement by Principal Edger of the honor list of the class of 1905. As is generally known, the seven stu­ dents in each class whose average scholarship for the four years of the course has been highest are designated as honor students and are entitled to represent the class on graduation day. The seven fortunate ones to obtain the honors this year, with their standings are as follows: Clara Hendershott. 90.482. Glenna Pancoast, 95.600. Florence Diamond, 94.622. Parnell McGuinness, 94.138. Bessie Warner, 93.036. Minnie Devine, 9i600. Mae Smith, 92.555. The parts which these students will latte in the commencement program are as follows: Salutatory, Glenna Pan­ coast; class oration, Parnell McGuin­ ness; class poem, Bessie Warner; class motto, Florence Diamond; class proph­ ecy, Minnie Devine; class essay, Mae Smith; valedictory, Clara Hendershott. Musical Treat in Store. The Iihaca Conservatory of Music Concert company will give a concert in the Baptist-church, Saturday evening, April 29, under the auspices of the Baptist Young People's Society. This troupe consists of four ladies, a soprano, a contralto, a reader and a harpist, and is in every respect a high class organiz­ ation; appearing for the most part in' the larger cities. They came here from Kalamazoo where they appear the night before their concert here. This is their second tour of Michigan. Surprise on Dr. H. A. Barber. The gathering of the physicians of the city at the residence of Dr. H. A. Barber last Wednesday evening, by the courtesy of bis wife, proved to be a very pleasant affair. At seven o’clock they were invited to the dining room, and were quickly seated, partaking of lhe various toothsome viands prepared for the enjoyment of the inner man. The Medic't<, nine in number, visited, ate and smiled, while occasional ripples of laughter enlivened the scene. On returning to the parlor Dr. Burton im­ mediately called tho attention of Dr. Barber to a nice armed rocking chair presented to him by the members of the profession. Dr. H. A. was com­ pletely surprised, but acknowledged the presentation with many thanks, ex­ pressing thorough appreciation of such a gift from the M. D.’s of the city. Various matters pertaining to the profession were discussed in a perfect­ ly informal and social way. The mo­ ments very soon brought the hour of separation, and with many expressions of Dleasure and enjoyment at the social evening passed, “Good nights” were exchanged, each wending his way homeward. U. B. Church Notes. The pastor will deliver the second of the series of sermons on the life of Christ. The subject will be “The Mind of the Master.” The evening topic will be “Is the Candle Worth the Burning?” Young People’s meeting at 6:00 p. m. Arrangements are being made for a special Easter service by the Sunday school. All of the scholars attending the U. B. Sunday school are requested to meet in the church Saturday afternoon at 3:00 o'clock. NINETY DAYS AT DETROIT. ing she did not have her umbrella raised. Reaching Mr. Nausel’s resi­ dence she went to the house and sat down upon the front steps. Just then Clark Doolittle, a high school student, came along and went into Mr. Nausel’s porch to escape the rain. Mrs. Baker told him that she was very sick and he helped her into the house and summoned Mrs. Nausel, who was at a neighbor’s, and Dr. Fuller. Soon afterwards Dr. H. A. Barber was called in and the two physicians did what medical science could suggest for the relief of the sufferer, but the case was one beyond human power to allevi­ ate and she soon breathed her last without being able to tell who she was._ No one present knew her and scores of people came to the house who could not identify her. Finally someone remem­ bered seeing her go into Mrs. Mullen’S and lhe latter w&s sent for and at once identified her. Telegrams were at onco sent to Mr. and Mrs. C. F. Baker and they arrived as soon os trains could bring them. In the meaptime kind and sympathetic bands administered to the requirements of the occasion. Jpstiee M. W. Riker was called and empanelled a coroner's jury and after viewing the remains, the inquest was adjourned till Saturday morning when a verdict was rendered to the effect that Mrs. Baker came to her death from natural causes. The physicians diagnosed the case as rheu­ matism of the heart. On Saturday morning after prayer at the house by Rev. H. H. VanAtiken, the remains were conveyed to the C., K. & S. train and taken to Benton Har­ bor. The funeral was held on Sunday morning at nine o’cloek.at the home of her daughter, Mrs. N. D. Haynes, the pastor of the Presbyterian church of which she was an active and consistent member, officiating. Mrs. Baker was born in Syracuse, N. Y., in Dee. 1834. She came with her busband to Michigan in 1861, settling near Paw Paw in 1862. In 189J Mr. Baker died from the effects of a bee sling. Soon afterwards she removed to Benton Harbor, where she has since made her home with her children. She leaves three sons and three daugh­ ters to mourn her loss. This hasn’t been a ve»y good year for the maple sugar business. There have been only a few days when the sap would run. This affords a legitimate excuse for one of our prominent farm­ ers and exemplary citizens who own* a good sized sugar bush just east of town and who found it necessary to “sugar off” last Sunday. If it had not been for these peculiar conditions which made it lawful to work on the Sabbath day, it would give us great Payne to record this incident. Three of the aforemen­ tioned farmer's city friends, having exftressed a desire to visit a sugar bush a full operation and witness the'inter­ esting process of sugaring off, were in­ vited to come out .Sunday. So they went out in the morning, prepared to have a sweet time, on that balmy, spring day. '' Well, they had a good time all right, helping to carry sap, stirring the fire and tasting the syrup to see when it was done, and they soon developed such a wonderful proficiency in tasting that it began to look as though there wouldn't be any syrup left. In the afternoon, the farmer’s estim­ able wife drove to town and brought the better halves of the three men, to join the sugaring party and while she was gone the latter fixed up a job on the ladies. One of tho kettles having been emptied of its syrup and so having only a little settlings left in tho bottom, was filled with the roily water from a nearby brook and put over -.he fire to boll. . When the three unsuspecting ladies reached the s:ene they were at once seized with an irresistible desire to taste the boiling "sap.” There was a tussle between them to get the dipper first, the steaming muddy liquid was dipped out and besore it had hardly had time to cool, was ecstatically gulped down in copious draughts. uBah! what horrid tasting stfff!” "Is that the way s&p tastes?” “Why. I supposed it would be real sweet.” "No, I thank you, I don’t care for any more. I prefer the finished article”—these were a few of the expressions made by the disgusted visitors. Then came laughing explanations nd the Payneful Incident ended In per­ fect sweetness long drawn out. In fact, it is doubtful whether John will have syrup enough for his own use, although he bad over a hundred trees tapped. If anyone wants additional particu­ lars we refer him to the democratic can­ didate for city treasurer. Cost of Stealing Two Overcoats from Parker House. MRS. MARY F.

Washington Letter. (From Our Regular Correspondent.) :»’i I Washington,D. C., Mar. 25,1905. The Venezuelan situation which has been attracting attention, especially in Washington, for several weeks past reached what Is described in the sensa­ tional press as "a crisis” on Wednes­ day when word was received from United States Minister Bowen that Ci­ priano Castro, president of Venezuela, had positively refused to submit to ar­ bitration the claims of American citi­ zens against the Venezuelan govern­ ment. President Castro's reply is in­ solent in the extreme and coming from a larger power or an executive ordi­ narily ixjssessed of better mannered would clou .tless have precipitated a very delicate situation. The position of the present administration however, is that the United States can no more afford to take umbrage at the Impudent reply of u small calibre power like Venezuela, than can the president take offense at the small boy who greets him with “Hurrah for Debs.” In the estimation of ^ate department •officials and of many diplomats in Washington, President Castro has made a grave tactical error. Had American claims against Venezuela been submitted to the Hague, or other arbitral tribunal, Venezuela would have been assured the advantage of a full and fair investigation of the equity of the claims and could have been com­ pelled io pay only what proved to be just. Under exitair.g circumstances, Castro has deprive!! his country of the benefits of such a tribunal ami of the advantages accruing from the better sort of investigation while the United States will be compelled to conduct an investigation outside of Venezuela and will, if such an inquiry seems to estab­ lish the equity of the claims, be entire­ ly warranted io tho application of force to insure their collection. President Castro has, of course, been }>laying a deep game of late, but unortunately for Venezuela, one not suf­ ficiently deep to go to the bottom of things. Doubtless emboldened by the action cf the United States senate in failing to approve the Dominican proto­ col, he has assumed that Lhe senate would not uphold the administration in -any application of force to Venezuela but be has gone further from the truth in his assumptions and has, or is, en­ deavoring to grant to certain European nations a lien on all of Venezuela’s ports with the hope that the United States will be thus stopped from seiz­ ing any of them because such seizure would result in strained relations with such European powers as held the liens. The facts are, however, that Mr. Cas­ tro does not take into consideration the fact that European nations would wel­ come the interference of the United Stales. Should it become necessary to apply force to collect damages for American citizens, the United States would merely assure the powers in­ volved that in seizing Venezuelan ports their rights would be protected that such percentages as bad been guaran­ teed them by Castro would be scrupul­ ously collected and paid to them while, of course, the entire remainder of the revenues would be applied to tho de­ frayment of American claims. For tho present, there will be no de­ monstration and no application of force to Venezuela and President Castro will be afforded all the rope he wants with which to bind his hands or even to hang himself, but if he once exhausts the patience of the administration the results will not be such as to insure hi* comfort or that of his country and if he should compt 1 this country to strike a blow in lhe interest of American citi­ zens it would be delivered with a force and a suddenness which would astound the slow-going citizens of Venezuela.

Figures recently published by the house committee on appropriations will give one some idea of the enormous ex­ pense which is involved in running our national government. And yet the figures are so large that their signifi­ cance cannot be realized. These figures tell us that the fifty-eighth con­ gress has appropriated, in round num­ bers, 81,590,000,000. The reproach of being a billion dol­ lar congress which was incurred but a few years ago, will soon be turned into a virtue by comparison with two billion dollar congresses. Much of this in­ crease, as shown by Mr. Livingston, democratic member of the appropria­ tions committee, has been caused by our new foreign policy. That policy re­ quires a big navy and heavy military expenditures in order that we may be always ready to enforce our diplomacy, should the other powers object. Hence it happens that we expended upon the army during the last four years 8315,­ 000,000, upon the navy 8358,000,000, and upon fortifications 828.000,000—or a total of more than 8700,000,000. Dur­ ing Mr. Cleveland's second administra­ tion the total appropriations for these purposes was 8201,000,000. Here is an increase of 8490,000,000 over the last democratic administration, in the mili­ tary arm of the service alone. But what help is there for it all? We have entered into new relations with the world since the Spanish-Amer­ ican war, and it does not seem possible to turn back. We have the Philip­ pines upon our hands and must defend them. We have become involved in the “open door" question and must be in condition to protect our interestsWe have bought the Panama canal en­ terprise and must carry it through. We have undertaken to settle the financial difficulties of the western hemisphere and are likely at any time to become entangled with some old world power in consequence. What then can be done except to go on expending millions on battleships and fortifications? The game may not be worth the candle. The millions in taxation taken from the people per­ haps would do the country vastly more good if expended in internal improve­ ments, such as reclaiming arid lands and building good reads, than it possi­ bly can in building battleships, but what of that. We have become a world power, we are too proud to change our policy and too fond of world power and military glory to want to do so. And so we are likely to go on increas­ ing our expenditures for the navy and army io order to keep up with the pro­ cession lead toy Great Britain, France and Germany. Perhaps the day will come when the folly of keeping up an armed peace will come home to the Christian nations and a general dis­ armament be agreed unon. But until that time comes, the United States, having become Involved In the game, is likely to stay In it, whatever the cost. They Defy the People’s Wishes. solidly republican legislature was re­ turned, a majority of which is opposed to primary reform, and a republican candidate for governor was elected who was avowedly a machine man. Is it to be wondered at that the polit­ ical bosses who hold sway over state af­ fairs feel perfectly safe in ignoring the desire of the people for an adequate primary law? Has not experience taught them that by keeping hold of the handle of the republican machine they can make the people dance to any tune they have a mind to grind out? What's the use, then, of passing the Stone bill, or any other adequate meas­ ure of primary reform? The people may grumble a little, but they will go right on voting for the ticket that has the machine brand upon it just the some. Surely, past history justifies such reasoning on the part of the politicians. But it might be well to bear in mind, that history also furnishes examples of midden awakenings on the part of the people when political bosses come to grief. “HOLY CITY” imiPBimc ■■ A Better Theory than Osler's. The sensational remit ks of Dr. Osler regarding the age limitations of a man's usefulness have created a great deal of unnecessary discussion. Tbeabsurdity of his assertions and their variance from the notorious facts of history create the impression that the learned doctor did not expect to be taken se­ riously or bring on a storm of such in­ dignant protest and denial. But now comes another scientist with a diametrically opposite proposition. Dr. Harvey Wiley, chief chemist of the United States government, is quoted as saying that “the time will soon come when a man will be young at seventy." Dr. Wiley brings scientific statistics to prove the correctness of his statement, and that "the average life of man with­ in the past few years has been in­ creased from thirty-three years to more than forty years," and he makes the prediction that “before long the life of the average man will have been in­ creased to seventy years." This view of life will be more accept­ able to most of us than Dr. Osier’s as­ sertion that a man passes bis time of usefulness at forty and ought to be chloroformed at sixty. No doubt it Is also vastly more logical. As men learn and apply the laws of health and sani­ tation, as their habits become more ra­ tional and temperate, as lhe power of science to prevent and combat disease becomes greater, there is every reason to believe that men will live longer. And as a corollary to this proposition it is logical to say that the period of a man’s usefulness will also be prolonged. If Dr. Wiley is right, Dr. Osier's age of usefulness will have to be prolonged to at least seventy years and bis chlo­ roform age will be at least eighty, with a possibility that ninety will be ulti­ mately attainable. It is entirely evident that the legis­ lature will do nothing for genuine pri­ mary reform this session. In recom­ mitting the Stone bill to the committee on elections the house practically sealed the fate of that measure. The excuses for sending the bill back to the committee were ingenious, but not to be regarded as offered through a de­ sire to secure a more perfect measure, but rather as the w Uy tactics of the en­ emies of primary reform to put them­ selves right with their constituents. It was said that the Stone bill was full of defects, that it contained provisions that were unconstitutional, that it went too far, that it was not satisfactory to the governor. At any rate the situation is clear enough. The leaders cf the republi­ can party have come to the conclusion that there shall be do thorough going reform such as the pecple of the state want. They have seemingly made up their minds that they are strong enough to defy the voice of the people in this matter. They evidently take no stock In Representative Stone’s warning that “the republican party plays with fire when it juggles and avoids this bill." And are not these leaders at Lansing right when they thus defy the will of the people? Has not experience shown them that anything that bears the g. a p. brand goes in Michigan? So Jong as the party ticket wins out every time regardless of the persone! of the ticket and the issues involved, why should these bosses give up their machine for controlling conventions?

And yet a AT REED’S OPERA HOUSE FRIDAY, APRIL 7 A BEAUTIFUL PORTRAYAL. Story of “The Holy City" Entrances Crestonitcs at the Temple Grand. The large audience, embracing quite a number of the Creston clergy, os well ns their laymen and the regular theatre goers, which assembled at the Temple Grand theatre hist evening to witness the presentation of “The Holy City’’ was certainly a high compliment to the popularity of Meytrs. Gordon & Ben­ nett :ts public entertainers. Their visit here last season in “A Royal Slave” sealed their reputation with our peo­ ple, and the result was very gratifying last night. Their daring production of the great biblical story of a Mary Magdalene was clearly voted a complete success by those present last night, who enjoyed to the uttermost lhe excellent work of the large cast of artists. Clarence Bennett, the author, appeared as “John the Baptist," giving the character strength and deep feeling, which was not marred by excess of zeal. The dif­ ficult role of the loving but vengeful “Salome" was very cleverly handled by Edna Marshal, who lent the fires of passion and hate to her delineation of the part. The costumes anil scenery were spectacular and attractive and the transformation scene, the resurrection, and the gates of the New Jerusalem were beautiful in the extreme.—Cres­ ton Morning American, Creston, la.. Jan. 20, 1905. Cuban Gratitude. The banquet given at Havana March 23 to the officers of tho American squad­ ron by Cuban veterans was an occasion which Americans can well look upon with satisfaction and pride—at least all except those few jlngoists in congress and elsewhere who opposed the fulfil­ ment of our pledge to Cuba that we would give up the Island to its own people as soon as they were able to maintain a stable government of their own. Happily the national conscience was lot strong for any program of be­ trayal and dishonor, and Cuba was in due time turned over to her own peo­ ple, rescued from Spanish tyranny, re­ organized and established upon firm foundations of seif government. The banquet to the American visit­ ing squadron afforded an opportunity to the Cubans to express their gratitude and friendly feelings towards the 'United States for the great service which this great republic has done for them and their posterity. AH the expressions of gratitude and admiration on the one side and hearty good will on the other were something more than the empty compliments which frequently are uttered when representatives of two nations meet in a social or public function. These In­ terchanges of compliments are often but hollow and meanlngle^'- forms. But in the relations between the Unit­ ed States and Cuba there is a genuine bond of friendship that makes such an occasion as-tbe Havana banquet truly significant. The American people must take an abiding interest in the young republic for whom they have made so great a sacrifice of blood and treasure, and the Cuban people must be pro­ foundly grateful to the mighty republic for giving them the priceless boon of liberty and self government, estab­ lished upon a basis of justice and equal rights for ail. How infinite!v more satisfactory and honorable has our course towards Cuba been than that of a conquering nation receiving abject homage from the con­ quered.

PASTOR FLAYS STANDARD OIL Says the Rockefeller Fortune Is Built on Foundation of Plunder. .IS AN INSULT TO HONEST MEN Declares the Acceptance cf Gift by the Committee Would Indicate That Churchmen Were Untrue to Their Obligations. Columbus, Ohio, March 27.—"The money proffered to our uoard of mis­ sions conies out of a collateral estate Whose foundations were laid in the most relentless rapacity known to modern commercial history.” So spoko Dr. Washington Gladden, moderator of the National Council of Congregation­ al Churches, referring to the Rocke­ feller gift in a sermon Sunday night on “The Religion of a Gentleman.” Continuing, he said: "The success of this business from the beginning until now has been largely due to the unlawful and out­ rageous manipulations of railway rates. The whole country is now up in arms against this species of rob­ bery. It has a right to be. It has been a long time waking up to this enormity. It is to this cause far more to any other that the monopolies which have been grinding the life out of American industries owe their power. ■ Fortune Built on Plunder. "The man from whom our mission­ ary society proposes to accept the gift is the great organizer of this system of plunder. His fortune was built on this foundation. He hau taught the other plunderers most of what they know about these methods. He repre­ sents more perfectly than any other one else the system of brigandage by which our commerce has been ravaged for many years. This rystem must be attacked and overthrown if- we want to save free government In every such battle for freedom andrighteousness the Congregational churches have been on the firing line. And now, on the eve of this battle, they are asked to accept a great gift of money from the man who' more completely than any other represents the system they are summoned to fight. Should Reject Gift "I .hope they are not mean enough to take his money and then turn around and fight him. I hope they are not so faithless to their obligations as to take his money and shut their mouths or become his apologists. We do not want this man’t money. To ac­ cept It will be to work tho contempt of millions of honest men: to reject it will strengthen our churches in the affection and respect of millions." DOW IE BUYS A ZION IN MEXICO.

The man bad secured the names of several prominent citizens in the city and supplied himself with.cards which showed that his last name was the same as the name of the man he aprreached. He presents ills card to his victim and states that he is from Bos­ ton. traveling on business, and he has only arrived in the city that day, that he had been expecting mall con­ taining money and is out of funds.

The well is on a farm of 00 acres a few miles south of this city and it is so rich in medicinal proper­ ties that It rivals the famous springs of West Baden and Martinsville. An eastern medicine company recently of­ fered Keplinger >40,000 for the land, but he refused to sell.

St. Petersburg, March 27.—The Jap­ anese are expected to land at the port of Korsakovsk, near Vladivostok, within a fortnight. It will be impossi­ ble for the Russians to resist and their evacuation will give the mi­ kado’s forces an ecellent base of op­ erations in the investment of the lat­ ter place, which will undoubtedly be­ gin In the very near future. The bays and Inlets along the Man­ churian coast will be free of Ice early in April, and it is certain that the Japanese will not wait any longer In pushing the siege, which will be start­ ed with an assault by land and sea. The possession of Vladivostok Is tho last accomplishment on which Japan insists, and after it is completed the mikado will be willing and anxious to bring the war to an end. He believes that with his army there he can prac­ tically dictate the terms of peace and force Russia to pay an enormous in­ demnity. May Free the Convict*. The entire Russian force at Koreakovsk is less than 2,000 soldiers and guards. There are 6,000 convicts In the penal camps, the remainder of the population comprising 3.000 natives and 6,000 time expired convicts, with women and children, who have settled in the island. It is feared that the Russians will land the convicts on lhe mainland near Vladivostok, where they will be n dangerous menace to the Russian and Chinese populace, aiding in the siege of the port. . The military council has decided to place on a war footing the machine gun companies of the Third, Ninth, Twenty-second, Thirty-first, Thirty­ fifth and Thirty-seventh infantry divis­ ions of the First, Second, Third, Fourth and Fifth rifle brigades. General Llnevitch In a dispatch dated March 25 reported no changes in the position of the armies. An imperial order relieves General Grlppenberg from the command of the Second Manchurian army, but permits him to remain ns an aid de camp to the emperor. ' Light In Old Report. Prince Uktomsky’s new paper, Dawn, has unearthed a remarkable re­ port made by General Kouropatkin to Emperor Nicholas in the fall of 1903, in which the then war minister ex­ pressed the opinion that the Yalu con­ cession was sure to Induce war in the far east and‘took an optimistic view of Russia’s ability to cope with Japan on land and sen, but expressed fore­ bodings that the triple alliance might take advantage of the struggle to threaten Russia on the west, while Great Britain brought matters to a climax with the Afghans. The whole tenor of the memoran­ dum indicates that danger on the Euro­ pean frontier loomed large In the war minister’s calculations, and creates the presumption that he was chary about dispatching heavy re-enforcements to the front until Emperor William’s as­ surances, given at the "billiard game" conference, removed the treat as tothe western frontier. RUSSIA MUST QUIT THE SEA. Paris, March 27.—It is stated in diplomatic quarters here that among the conditions of peace which Japan might ask would be that Russia give a pledge to build no more warships for a term of years. A diplomatic of­ ficial said such a condition would be the most effective means of assuring Japan against Russia's carrying out' her t cherished project of naval re­ al mament for the renewal of hostili­ ties under better conditions than those at present existing. It is well known that Russia con­ templates a huge plan of naval reha­ bilitation. Admiral Doubasoff. the head of the technical board of the ad­ miralty, Capt. Clado, former]) chief tactical officer under Vice Admiral Rojestvensky, and other Russian na­ val authorities recently have taken the position that peace was desirable until a naval reconstruction cculd be completed. This appears to have stimulated Japan's diplomats to consider means of avoiding a peace that would be equivalent to no more than n truce during which Russia would have time to forge an effective weapon, and therefore the intimation is now given that limitation of Russian naval arma­ ment may figure asjj means of inspir­ ing a prolonged peace in the Orient.

HATED OFFICIAL IS MAIMED Baron von Nolken Is Attacked and Perhaps Fatally Wounued While on His Way to Investigate Damage Done by Revolutionist Warsaw, March 27.—Baron von Nolken. chief of police of Warsaw, was Injured, perhaps fatally, by the second of two bombs thrown by two revolutionists last evening. The first was hurled Into a police station to lure Von Nolken to the spot, and injured six men, wrecking the room In which they were sitting. The man who threw the explosive into the police station was captured after he had wounded a policeman and had himself been wounded. Baron von Nolkeu’s assailant escaped after killing a detective who was pursuing him. Bomb Wrecks Station. Tho first bomb was used shortly aft­ er 8 o’clock. The revolutionist, who was well dressed, went tG the police station at Praga, a large suburb of Warsaw, on the other side of the river Vistula. He was seen to take the explosive from beneath his coat and hurl it through the open door of tlie station. * The havoc In the outer room was great. One wall was torn away and when other policemen entered they found their six companions amid the shattered furniture. The revolutionist started to run, and In his flight met a policeman and shot him twice in the siomach. The bomb thrower was wounded by his ad­ versary and was captured by the cap­ tain of the station and taken to a hos­ pital. His identity has not yet been discovered. Second Missile Hits Chief. A telephone message was Immedi­ ately sent to Baron von Nolken at the city hall. Baron von Nolken, accom­ panied by a police official, took a car­ riage and at once started for Praga. When they were passing the castle where the governor general resides a man standing on the pavement threw a bomb at the carriage. Baron von Nolken. who was sitting on the side nearest the assailant, re­ ceived the full charge of the bomb, hut his companion escaped unhurt. The coachman was thrown from the box and the carriage was smashed. A g.'rl who was passing the spot when the bomb was thrown was wounded by splinters nnd had to be taken to thejiospital. Baron von Nolken was removed to the city hall, where it was found he had received injuries on the head, neck, arm and leg, which are be•lleved to be serious. Escape of Assailant. Meanwhile the police official accom­ panying Baron von Nolken saw the bomb thrower fleeing and pursued and caught up with him, but the criminal proved the stronger and tore himself away. Another policeman fired twice af­ ter him without result. A half hour later a man was found dead in Sowla street and Identified as a plain ciothes policeman. He had been killed by the bomb thrower while pur­ suing him. No trace has been found of the baron’s assailant. According to the'theory of the po­ lice lhe revolutionists calculated upon Baron von Nolken going to Praga on learning of the explosion of the bomb al the station there, and- knew he must pass the castle, that being the cnly road by which he could reach the only bridge across the Vistula. Von Nolken Is Hated. Baron von Nolken is hated by the messes of the Polish population, who hold him responsible for the sangui­ nary suppression of the disturbances here at the ead of January. He has been here only a year, having come from St. Petersburg, where he was chief of the mounted division of the j-ollce. Tlie attack on Baron von Nolken v.as the result of an elaborate con­ spiracy of the revolutionary party. An organized depot of arms and Lcmbs was discovered recently on the premises of a wealthy '“ merchant* named Barassoff. Investigation dlsclosed a conspiracy to distribute arms, More than 800 arrests have been made in connection with the af­ fair. Calls for Uprising in Poland. A revolutionary movement of con­ siderable proportions is making itself manifest in connection with the Indus­ trial disturbances in the region around Sledloo, Blelsk, Vlodslavsk, Rodin and Lukov, south and south­ east of Warsaw. The country has been flooded with proclamations of foreign and local or­ igin calling for a rising In Poland and with revolutionary songs and ad­ dresses, the latter demanding the use of tho Polish language in all the schools, administrative offices and courts. The population is said to be saturated with these tendencies, espe­ cially those of the Uniat sect Children are being kept out of school. Troops have been sent to the vicinity of Kotzk, southeast of War­ saw. AFTER YEARS OF SEARCH 'Millionaire Mine Owner Is Reunited to Daughter, Who Had Suffered ths Pangs of Poverty.

MEN HEROES IN EYES 0'WIVES Declares That Women Are Prone to Idolize Their Spouses and Only Brutes Can Bring About the Terri­ ble Awakening. Nashua, N. H., March 27.—"A man who is downright ugly to his wife ought to be taken out into the public square and shot,” said Rev. Lewis E. Pease, pastor of the First Universal1st church, to a fashionable congre­ gation which filled the church edifice to the doors. “I have not the slightest sympathy for such a brute,” he went on. "I do not believe in capital punishment, but even If I did and I was on a jury in a case where a woman was being tried for her life for using a rolling pin—well, not for its usual purpose— I would never agree to the woman's conviction if I was convinced that her husband had been one of the nagging kind, one who is ever demanding more than his wife can do, ill-tem­ pered, a masculine scold. Such a man hag crushed out a heart purer than gold. Women Idolize Husbands. * “Nothing that God ever created is so faithful as a woman. Every wom­ an is a hero worshiper. Naturally the n an she chooses for a husband she re­ gards in that light in a measure. Too often her disillusion Is terrible. Then she carefully hides her hurt. Give her a chance and she will enthrone again the one she loved. She will work her fingers off for him if he will only show that he wants to please her. “It is the little things, most often, which are the beginning of partings between husband and wife. Praise Cheers Dying Wife. “Husbands, let us not demand more of the one we have promised to pro­ tect and cherish than that one Is able to do. Let us remember that the pies don’t taste like mother’s because our own tastes are dulled. Let us send her away on a pleasant little trip and attempt to manage the children our­ selves rather than scold her because they do not always act like angels, and, above all. let us stow that we appre­ ciate her efforts to please us. “At the bedside of his dying wife recently a husband said: ’You've al­ ways been a good wife, Mary.’ ’You've never said that before. Henry.’ replied the dying woman, fi- 1 ns she passed awaya smile lighted her face such as I have rarely seen.” CUPID RANSACKS THE SCHOOL. Seizes Eighteen of the Ninety Teach­ ers In Manchester, N. H.

The vote od the voting machine proposition was as follows: The first ward gave a majority of 21 against the machine, and the second 56 against. The third favored the machine by a majority of 33 and the fourth by 79. This gives a net result of 35 majority for buying the machines. THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS.

His majority in Charlotte was 442, in Thoroapple 188, ■ »ai at THE STATE. The state as a matter of course has gone republican by the usual big ma­ jority; Judge Moore having about 100,­ 000 majority over Judge Vernon H. Smith. What of the Voting Machine? The experiment of using voting ma­ chines, in this city last Monday may be fairly recorded as a success. There was the disadvantage to contend with resulting from Using a new method of voting. The voters were not familiar with operating the machine and so it took them much more time to vote than it would again. There were times when the voters were lined up in quite a long row, but such delay 'will not be likely to occur again. Notwithstanding the slowness of many of the voters in passing through the booth all votes were easily record­ ed, and ten minutes after the polls closed, the result of the election was known. There were no tickets to sort over and count, there were no disputes about the marking of the ballot, no votes thrown out, no question about the absolute accuracy of the figures. Moreover, it is evident, from the manner in which the figures vary on different candidates that the machine is conducive to independent voting and that men can freely split their ballot as they please without any danger of it* being thrown out on account of some technical error. There can be no re­ count* when the machine is used. The vote on the question of buying the machines was very close, the propo­ sition receiving a majority of 35 in its favor. We are satisfied, however, that if the people were given another chance to vote on the proposition the majority in favor of buying the mochimes would be much larger thao it was Monday. Real Estate Transfers. WILL BE HELD AT NILES APRIL NINETEENTH. For Appointment as Midshipman In the U. S. Naval Academy at Annapolis. A competitive examination conductr ed by the representative in congress from the fourth district of Michigan to enable him to make selections fairly among applicants for appointment as midshipman in the United States Naval Academy, will be held at Bullard’s ball, Niles, Michigan, on Wednesday, April 19, 1905. The mental examination will be con­ ducted by a board of three competent examiners and will cover the common branches ordinarily taught in grades below the high school. A physician will be in attendance to examine ap­ plicants as to their physical qualifica­ tions. The candidate having the highest standing will be nominated midshipraan and the candidate having the next highest standings will be nomi­ nated first, second and third alternates in accordance with their standing. The nominee for midshipman and the alternates will be required to take an admission examination at Annapolis, Maryland, or. the first Tuesday in June, 1905, and at the date of such examina­ tion nominee and alternates must not be less than sixteen nor more than twenty years of age. In case the nom­ inee for midshipman fails in the admis­ sion, the first alternate will become nominee; in case of his failure the sec­ ond alternate will become nominee, and in case of bls failure the third will be named. Candidates must be actual, legal resdents of the fourth congressional dis­ trict of Michigan, and at the earliest possible date should Inform E. L. Ham­ ilton, Niles, Michigan, of their inten­ tention to take the preliminary, com­ petitive examination, Anril 19. The Establishment of Easter. “The festival of Easter is to be cele­ brated on the Sunday following the first full moon after the beginning of spring.” Therefore, if the moon becomes full upon the dry on which spring begins, the Sunday after the next full moon is, of course, indicated by the directions of the Council as Easter day. And if the moon becomes full on a Sunday, the next Sunday, similarly, must be Easter day. The history of this controversy re­ specting the date of Easter which the Nicaean Council happily settled, in­ cludes a number of diverting anecdotes based upon the disinclination of differ­ ent people to accept even the Council's rulings. A story is told of a European of prom­ inence who celebrated Easter every year on the very same day on which his wife celebrated Palm Sunday. An­ other story is told of a devout old cou­ ple in Germany who refused to abide by a new Church decree relative to Easter. The decree altered the date, and on the day on which they had al­ ways attended the Easter services the old people walked from their home to the church. They found the church closed and no Easter service in pro­ gress. The old gentleman beat upon the door with his stout stick and de­ manded admittance, and when there was no response from the uninhabited church, the old people retraced their steps to celebrate Easter at home. Naturally the most magnificent and imposing celebration of Easter is that which takes place in St. Peter’s at Rome.—Gerald Austin In the April Pilgrim. WARRANTY. Baker Shriner and wife to Leonard H.

About eighty members of Hastings Chapter No. 7. O. E. S., assembled in Masonic hall Tuesday evening to wit­ ness the conferring of the degrees of the order upon Mr. und Mrs. George Coleman and to celebrate the 35th an­ niversary of the founding of the chap­ ter. After the degrees hud bee conferred and the chapter closed, the brothers who hud charge of the refreshments hastened to set the tables and bring In the good things which they had man­ aged to prepare without asking any help of the ladies, and they proved themselves to be good caterers too. When the wants of the inner man (and woman) bad been generously sup­ plied, John C. Ketcham, as toastmaster, called on Trav. Phillips, one of tho charter members, to tell something of the history of the chapter, Harry Lahr, to speak os the youngest member, W. W. Potter to speak upon Michigan, and M. L. Cook to discuss the sentiment of brotherhood. Each of these gentlemen made suitable responses to the senti­ ments assigned them thus bringing an aupsicious occasion to an appropriate ending. . ANOTHER BUSINESS CHANGE WRIGHT BROTHERS HAVE BOUGHT OUT P. SHULTZ & CO. New Owners Will Enlarge the Busi­ ness and Add Several New . Lines of Manufacture. Some seven or eight years ago Miss Pauline Shultz started in a very mod­ est way to manufacture a few articles for ladies’ wear, such as bustles, skirl pads, etc. She made good goods and they met with a ready sale. Her busi­ ness soon expanded and became lucra­ tive. She sent out her saleswomen and was soon employing a number of women in her factory, manufacturing the goods that were being ordered. Today the firm of P. Shultz & Co. is enjoying a largo business covering sev­ eral states. It occupies a neat and well arranged building on West Court street, equipped with modern muchinery and electric power. The business has grown and proenered so greatly that its organizer and active manager, now Mrs. John McOmber, has made a handsome fortune out of it and bus be­ come ready to lay aside it* cares and demands. Accordingly when -Wright Brothers made overtures for the pur­ chase of the business it did not take long to agree upon terms. Negotia­ tions were completed Friday and on Saturday the transfer was consummat­ ed. Wright Brothers are among our most enterprising business firms and their purchase of the Shultz factory insures the continued success of the latter busi­ ness. While they will not relax any of their hustling methods in the mer­ cantile line they will also push their newly acquired business. Walter Wright will take the direct manage­ ment of the manufacturing business and George Wright will continue to be the active head of the store. The name of P. Shultz & Co. will be retained and in addition to the manu­ facture of ventilated skirt pads and comfort forms other lines will be add­ ed, new territory will be worked and the business expanded as fully as pos­ sible. Mrs. Earl Brown. Mrs. Earl Brown, a former resident of this city, died at the home of her son Homer, in Kalamazoo, Saturday, of heart disease, aged 76 years. She had been out quite late the night before to a party and when she got up in the morning did not feel well at all. A doctor was called and she felt much better about ten o’clock so that she was able to eat dinner with the rest of the family. About ooe o’clock she was suddenly taken worse and died tn about an hour. Mrs. Brown was a resident of this city for a great many years previous to her removal to Chicago seven or eight years ago. Mr. and Mrs. Brown have been living in Kalamazoo with their son since last September. Besides a husband she leaves two children, Ho­ mer of Kalamazoo and Imogene of Chi­ cago. The funeral was held Tuesday after­ noon in Kalamazoo, Rev L. C. Rogers of this city officiating. The remains were brought here on the afternoon train und laid ut rest in Riverside cem­ etery. Those from awaj who came with the remains were Earl Brown, Mr. and Mrs. Homer Brown of Kalamazoo: Miss Imogene Brown of Chicago and Mrs. Minnie McCormick of Kansas City.

Touching appeals from Christian workers in the Far East have come to prominent citizensof tho United States, imploring aid for the sick and wounded soldiers of both armies and the multi­ tude of destitute widows and orphans of soldiers killed in the war. Rev. Y. Honda, principal of the Aoyamo Theological School at Tokio, Japan, in a recent letter says: “How long this distressing condition of things will last wo cannot say. The people arc doing their best and every charitable agency is taxed to the utmost, but so numerous have the impoverished families become that our means of immediate relief are utterly inadequate. Could some gen­ eral fund be raised for this noble pur­ pose, and missionaries on tho ground be • furnished with the means of distribut­ ing and alleviating the distress of these families, it would indeed be a precious gift, and I assure you never be forgot­ ten.” ' We may not help belligerents, but we may help the suffering and distressed. The Red Cross of Pity is neutral in every clime, and the claims of helpless children are a challenge to Christian love and beniilcence the world over. In response to the moving appeals thus coming from Christian workers in Japan, the Japanese Relief Fund has been organized to obtain the help needed, and all funds contributed will be distributed through the Evangelic­ al Alliance of Japan, under the over­ sight of Bishop Harris, who 1b now in that country. The Executive committee composed of Hon. Seth Low, Bishop Greer, Bish­ op Harris, Chas. Cuthbert Hall, D. D.; W. R. Huntington, D. D.; Dr. Newell, Dwight Hillis, Geo. H. Southard, Dr. Wm. Elliott Griffis, and B. F. Buck, Secretary, request contributions, large or small, be sent to the Franklin Trust Company, Treasurer, No. 140 Broad­ way, New York City. About 818,000.00 has already been contributed for this purpose, 810,000.00 of which has been forwarded to Japan for distribution. The City Election. Now that the city campaign is over, we will venture to make a few observa­ tions on the result, doing so without a particle of prejudice or bitterness to­ wards either side. In fact there is no occasion for such sentiment. When an election has been held and the peo­ ple have expressed their choice all good .citizens will accept the result good-naturedly and philosophically. The result of Monday’s election is to some extent a drawn battle. The dem­ ocrats have won clerk, justice of the peace, member of tbc board of review, both supervisors, both members of the board of education and one alderman, certainly a good showing. The citizens have only three aidermen to their credit and surely have reason to feel disappointed at such a partial victory. Nevertheless they can console them­ selves from the fact that they will still have control of the council with a boldover mayor and three hold-over alder­ men. There is no reason why the council of the coming year cannot be a harmonious body, working solely for the advancement of the city’s interests, and that is all that any council can do. As for the board of review, it will be com­ posed of one citizens* man, elected a year ago, and a gentleman chosen by a big majority this year, who will bring to his Important duties, fairness, honesty and conscientiousness, together with much experience in public affairs. The interests of all tax payers can safely be entrusted to thesegentlemen. The two democratic supervisors are men of experience in their official duties and can be relied upon to treat all citizens with fairness and impartial­ ity. The clerkship has been won by a young man of good character and abili­ ties and there is no reason to doubt that the clerical work ot the city will bo well done by him. The treasurer­ ship has also fallen into safe and com­ petent hands. Thus there is no occasion for appre­ hension os to the wise and economical management of the city’s business dur­ ing the coming year. It is but natural that the friends of defeated candidates should feel disappointed over the result, but we do not believe that such disap­ pointment will, as it certainly ought not to, leave any lasting bitterness. We are all citizens of one of the handsomest and most enterprising little cities in Michigan. We are all neigh­ bors. Let us have done with conten­ tion, put our shoulders to the wheel from this time on and push Hastings. — Year ADDITIONAL LOCAL. Those wanting papering done, call up Frank W. Smith. Phone 395. W. R.

They now have a fine specimen of Old Glory, five feet by eight, which bos been draped up in their room, to add cheer­ fulness and inspiration to their labor, and teach patriotism to their young hearts. The question has been asked the Herald whether articles discussing the non partisan movement will be ac­ cepted. Certainly, the columns of the Herald are open to a fair and candid discussion of the subject. It might prove profitable to consider ways and moons by which the mistakes of the past may be remedied and a movement to ad­ vance the interests of the city be made tu accomplish all that public spirited and right minded men could hope for. In opening our columns for such discus­ sion we should only stipulate that per­ sonalities and harsh criticism be avoid­ ed, and of course would reserve the right to accept or reject any manuscript contributed �HASTINGS HERALD, THURSDAY, APRIL 6, 1905 I County Grange Department Carlton Grange No. 264.

There are few diseases that inflict more torture than rheumatism and there is probably |co disease for which such a varied and useless lot of rem­ edies have been suggested. To say that it* can be cured is, therefore, a bold statement to make, but Chamber­ lain’s Pain Balm, which enjoys an ex­ tensile sale, has met with great success in the treatment of this disease. One application of Pain Balm will relieve the pain, and hundreds of sufferers have testified to permanent cures by its use. Why suffer when Pain Balm affords such quick relief and costs but a trifle?

HASTINGS HERMLD c. F. FIELD. Editor and Proprietor. Genuine Non-Partisanship. The difficulty of securing non-parti­ sanship in the administration of public affairs In this city has been curiously illustrated by the experience of the past year. The Herald is a believer in genuine non-partisanship In local affairs and has tried to pursue a con­ sistent course in applying this principle. But in so doing we presume that we have subjected ourselves to some mis­ apprehension and undoubtedly to ad­ verse criticism. The former we shall try to correct; the latter we shall cheer­ fully endure, feeling that our.course has been governed by right motives at least. Just before the opening of last year's municipal campaign, it may be remem­ bered the Herald advocated the prin­ ciple of non-partisanship in city affairs, but afterwards, fearing the ostensible citizens’ movement was not genuine, cordially supported the democratic ticket, thereby incurring the criticism of the Banner. But we did the very thing which our republican contempo­ rary has confessed that it would do under the same conditions in which the Herald was placed. Criticism coming after such an admission, therefore is forceless. But after the campaign was over and the citizens’ ticket was elected, there were no sore spots on the Herald. Here was a chance to exercise genuine non-partisanship. The Herald has sustained the citizens’ administration in every movement for the welfare of this city. It would have done the same Ching if a republican ticket had been elected. It would have done the same thing if a democratic ticket had been elected. It will do the same thing un­ der any administration. In other words the Herald places the public welfare above partisanship and in do­ ing so it sacrifices nothing of. its polit­ ical beliefs. This we believe, to be genuine non-partisanship in local af­ fairs. But what of the movement known as the citizens’ party in the future? Will It be continued or has' the late experi­ ence been a fatal blow to it? The Herald has no quarrel with this movement. Many of our leading citi­ zens of both parties are connected with it. Their desire is, no doubt, to elimi­ nate petty partisanship from the public affairs of the city and to secure the best citizens for public offices. But we fear that unless some of the tactics pursued in the late campaign are amended the hopes of non-partisanship are doomed. These tactics have partaken so much of the nature of political campaigning as to have created a suspicion that pol­ itics and not real Independence was back of it all. It did not help the citi­ zens' cause for the Banner to profess intense zeal for said cause and in the same breath admit that it was a party organ and would support a republican ticket if such were placed in nomina­ tion. We do not believe it helped the citizens’ cause to issue a circular re­ flecting upon the good faith of the elec­ tion committee of the council in the matter'of arranging the ticket. That committee, we have every reason to believe, acted in the most conscientious manner in performing the duty that devolved upon It. It did not help the citizens' cause, in our opinion, to hold a mass meeting and free lunch, on Sat­ urday night before election. All these things, it seems to the Her­ ald, smacked too much of “politics” to be consistent with a non-partisan move­ ment, and in our humble opinion they hurt instead of helped the cause. In saying these things the Herald is actuated by no desire to find fault but rather to direct attention to what it believes to have been w$ak points in the citizens' movement and with a firm belief that unless they can be avoided in tne future there can be no genuine non-partisanship. The Yellow PcriL According to late foreign dispatches there is a revival of alarm in Europe over the so-called yellow peril. France is especially exercised over this alleged danger and the French leaders are discussing with much anxiety the pos­ sibilities that may grow out of Japan’s success In the present struggle with Russia. It is being pointed out that Japan’s influence over China is con­ trolling and that after her victory over Russia is complete, it will be easy for her to build up a tremendous oriental power dangerous to Christendom. These French statesmen are according­ ly urging the necessity of all Europe’s combining to assist the Russians in the struggle and thereby prevent the threatened ascendancy of Japan, which they assert will endanger the peace of the world. It la not likely that these alarmists will succeed in persuading the neutral nations of Christendom to interfere in behalf of Russia. In the first place Russia’s course has not been such as to enlist the sympathies of other nations. She deliberately brought on the war by her duplicity and arrogance. There is therefore no moral sentiment to strengthen her cause in the eyes of the world. -She deserves the defeat she is receiving, and it is probably the common feeling among disinterested nations that the punishment she is getting will in the end do her good. It is generally admitted that If she should be successful in her Eastern jxjliey, the other powers of the world would bo shut out of China. There would be no “open door," but Russia would greedily und selfishly exploit China and even Japan to the exclusion of the rest of the world. As to the danger of Japan uniting the yellow race in a struggle.against the white race, it will appear to most students of world politics that such a contingency, while not impossible, is highly improbable. The Jopanese people have shown themselvet to be shrewd, sane and reasonable. Thej’ have heretofore been a peace-loving nation. They have an ambition, no doubt, to become the leaders of the oriental world. But it is fair to as­ sume that they will prefer to lead in the peaceful development and uplift­ ing of the yellow people rather than in the bloody and destructive ways of war. They are a commercial people and it is not likely that they will pursue a course towards the ‘western world that would ruin their commerce. If Japan should become the protector of Chinese integrity against the designs of the European powers, putting an end to the encroachments of Russia, Franco and Germany upon the territory of the yellow race, there would be an innate justice in it all that would hardly ondanger the real welfare of Christen­ dom. For if there is anything which genuine Christianity stands for above all other religions, it is the universal brotherhood of mankind without re­ spect to nationality or race. If there­ fore the Japanese people, by virtue of their supremacy now in a war which was forced upon them, become the de­ fenders of the yellow race against the greedy designs of Europe, and at the same time pursue the same liberal poli­ cy in matters of commerce and inter­ national intercourse that they have pursued up to the present day, there will be no yellow peril. Instead of a peril, the yellow race under wise lead­ ership will become a benlficent power in advancing the highest destiny of the human race. Of course this may be a roseate view of the situation which subsequent events will dissipate, but it seems as reasonable as the pessimistic theory that the yellow race is destined to be­ come a deadly antagonist of western civilization. The Question of Corporate Control. A valuable piece of testimony in fa­ vor of remedial railroad legislation was offered the other day when President Charles S. Mullen of the New York, New Haven & Ha 'tford railroad, ex­ pressed the opinion before the railroad committee of the Connecticut legisla­ ture that corporate control is the ques­ tion of the hour and that the great abuses, which' he admitted existed, should be “laid bare and stopped.” *‘A railroad enjoys great privileges from the people,” said Mr. Mullen. “It performs a public service, it imposes a tax which should bo alike to all who use it, and if it cannot handle itself without discrimination between per­ sons and places and treat all alike fair­ ly it is time for the public which creat­ ed it to supervise it and control It, when it has shown it cannot be trusted to control Itself.” Coming from the head of an impor­ tant railroad system, this Is significant language. It Indicates that an honor­ able and high minded man, placed in a position to know exactly what he is talking about, will frankly admit that the practice of discrimination not onl exists but has become an evil of such magnitude that it Is “the question of the hour,” in this agreeing with the president and an overwhelming major­ ity of the people. Discrimination in rates is what gave John D. Rockefeller the tremendous advantage by which he ruthlessly drove his competitors out of business. Dis­ crimination in favor of certain shippers und places has worked with great un­ fairness and is absolutely hostile to the American principle of equal rights to all and special privileges to none. It is today one of tho greatest menaces to the interests of the country and the at­ tempt to devise a remedy, made by congress at the instigation of the presi­ dent, fairly expresses the will of the whole country. That attempt was but partial and the matter of freight rate control embodied in the Townsend bill, is hung up in the senate. That it will come before that branch of congress next winter is a practical certainty, but what its fate will be in the hands of such a corporations-ympathizing body is a serious conundrum. It probably is as well that congress did -not act hastily in the matter, how­ ever. Mr. Mullen makes haste to say, after admitting the crying need of rem­ edying abuses that the project of legis­ lative control is one not to be entered upon hastily, and when he says that “the case is not one for the dilettante, for the theorist, or for the crank, but for men of affairs, the jurist of repute, the man who puts his citizenship above other considerations,*' all right think­ ing men will agree with him. The problem is one that involves the rights of capital os well as of the masses, the Interests of the industrial world as well as of the humblest citizen and should be approached, no doubt, in a broad, unprojudicial, patriotic spirit. If the present measure !>efore congress in­ volves anything of injustice or improvticubility or danger to our well estab­ lished principles of government there will be a chance when it comes up again to remedy these defects. One thing is beyond serious question, the problem of controlling the abuses which even railroad presidents ack­ nowledge arc very grave, must be met and measurably solved by congress at its next session, or the people will place a new body of legislators in the national capital who will obey the uni­ versal demand for this pressing legisla­ tion. ---------- OF---------- THEBAPEUT1C EIMCI8BS Are you getting your job printing done out of town because you think you can get it cheaper?

It Is a common enough sight to witness one seize an angleworm and drag It from Its burrow In the turf, but I am not sure that I ever before saw one drill for grubs and bring the big white mor­ sel to the surface. The robin I nm speaking of had a nest of young In a mnple near by, and she worked the neighborhood very industriously for food. She would run along over the short grass after the manner of robins, stopping every few feet, her form stiff and erect. Now and then she would suddenly bend her head toward the ground and bring eye or ear for a mo­ ment to bear Intently upon it Then she would spring to boring the turf vigorously with her bill, changing her attitude nt each stroke, alert and watchful, throwing up the gross roots and little jets of soil, stabbing deeper and deeper, growing every moment more nnd more excited, till finally a fat grub was seized and brought forth. Time after time during several days 1 saw.her mine for grubs In this way and drag them forth. How did she know where to drill? The Insect was in every cose an inch below the surface.

Nothing in the world will quicken the action of a young 'man’s brain, and develop his mental ability like good, thorough and scien­ tific exercise. To the Mature Woman—Because to her a sluggish, relaxed condition of nerves and body means untold evils. Exercise restores nervous energy, pnts life and action Into every organ, cor­ rects misplacements by strengthening the loosqned muscles, and thereby averts painful operations. To the Young Woman—Because it keeps the nerves in tone, btrengthens tbe internal organs, and fits her for the duties of wife and mother. this spring?

Gunahu Pass, April 3.—Natives re­ port that the Japanese are leaving before the Russian front only a screen, capable, with the help of the Mukden and Tie Pass fortifications and garri­ sons, of bolding in check Gen. Llnevitch, and are transferring the bulk of their five armies to Vladivostok, and, by means of a wide movement through Mongolia, to Tsltslhar. Con­ sidering tho great distances Involved, the plan appears too bold and almost impracticable, but the Japanese in­ toxication from continued success, their bold initiative and determined perseverance must be regarded. The situation afforas an opportunity for Russian cavalry, which thus far has played an Insignificant role, to dis­ tinguish Itself by ascertaining the Jap­ anese intentions. The situation right here is un­ changed. Gen. Mistchenko has moved forward into close touch with the Japanese and keeps ujJ constant skir­ mishing. Elsewhere everything is quiet Responds to Duty’s Call. Gen. Mistchenko, when he learned of the beginning of the panic during the retreat from Mukden, though anunhealed wound forbade his walking, drove in a carriage to his force and assumed command, which he has since retained, though he is unable to ride over the deeply mired roads, which are beginning to dry. Gen. Linevltch has ordered tbe re­ sumption of drills, keeping tbe sol­ diers occupied tn the daytime, and music in tbe bivouacs at night. The soldiers are much attached to the new commander on account of his simple, soldierly style of living. Reports that berl-beri has been prev­ alent among the Russian troops at any time are unfounded. No case has been reported. The army is being resupplied with equipment for the summer, which the officers especially need, several regiments during the retreat throwing away all the officers’ baggage. I . Return From Long Scout. With Gen. Kuroki's Army In the Field, April 3.—Two detachments of Japanese cavalry have returned to the army after the most extensive and dangerous scouting exploit of the war. The detachments were sent north early in January under the leadership of Col. Naganuma and Maj. Sasegawa and numbered 150 men. Only 100 men of each detachment returned. They explored the Russian positions west of Mukden. They encountered and eluded many forces of Russian cavalry and penetrated Gen. Mlstchenko's line. Then, going northward, they crossed the railroad, cutting the road and the telegraph line during tbe battle. Afterward they visited Kirin and explored that place, and finally returned to the army north of Kaiyuan. Russian Fores In Retreat. Toklo, April 3.—The following offi­ cial advices have besn received from arnly beadquarters in Manchuria: "Our scouts advanced toward Hallung and collided with 300 of the en­ emy's cavalry at Shauciengtzu, thirty miles southwest of Seilung, on the morning of March 28. The enemy, 4,­ 011 men strong, retreated to Hallung, leaving 2,000 troopers. There are large stores of cereals at various points between Yingecheng and Banchengtxu. Yingecheng is thirty-five miles north of Hiengcheng. The situ­ ation is unchanged in the Changchen and Kirin directions." IMPURE FOOD BRINGS 0EATHJ2JH0USANDS New York Health Commissioner De­ plores Conditions Existing in Me­ tropolis and Points to Causes. Ke% York. April 3—In New York last year out of 72.000 deaths nt all ages 25,000 children died who were not over 5 years of age. Of those. 15,­ 000 were Infants 1 year old or young­ er. Health Commissioner Darlington said: “I ennnot tell how many children lit this city die each year by reason of Improper or impure food. But I do know that many things which children eat and drink are dangerous to their health. Ever}' day we receive com­ plaints of children who have been poisoned by bad food. “Many parents who have to go out to work leave a few pennies with the children for them to buy breakfast. In many cases the children buy candy or bananas instead. I do not believe bananas ripened off tbe trees are good for anybody to eat. They are simply raw starch. “The greatest sources of danger to children are preserved or dirty milk and embalmed meats. Milk is pre­ served with formaldehyde. Meat is embalmed with borax, with boric acid or with salicylate. Some meat Is arti­ ficially colored too. The cheap flavor­ ing extracts for soda water are colored with aniline dyes, which are coal tar products. Vanilla extract is so col­ ored. Whisky Is now colored with ani­ line. Cheap candles are colored and flavored with the coal .tar extracts. Hokey-pokey ice cream is bad for the children. "There Is also great danger in spoiled food, such as meat, fish and canned goods, in which ptomaines de­ velop. • "There is often no bad taste to warn those who partake of spoiled food in which ptomaines have developed. Re­ cently 1 Investigated a case whore a whole family was poisoned by eating fish which was perfectly palatable." BISHOP SPALDING IS BETTER Rallies From Second Attack of Paral­ ysis and Wilt Go South.

New Deputy Marshal Declares New York Is Not Filled With Americans. GUN CARRYING IS UNIVERSAL Says All Sorts of People Are Armed With Revolvers, Which Would Be Useless if Their Owners Got in a Tight Place. New York, April 3.—“I wonder what makes everybody In such a hurry here?" said “Bat" Masterson, now a deputy United States marshal for the southern district of New York, as he sat in a big armchair In tho office of the Delavan hotel, where he lives. “A man runs half a .block to catch a crowded car when there Is another with plenty of room In It half a block behind. He's not really in a hurry; he only thinks he is. "If a man comes to New York to study Americans and American life he makes a reat mistake. There are. a few Americans here; when you do meet them they are as fine people as you can find anywhere, but you don't meet them in Broadway. If you want to find real Americans you must go to the country. New York Is not n American city." Couldn't Use Pistols, “How do you expect to like your job in New York?” asked a reporter. "Oh, I'm no stranger in New York. I have been living here for a year, so I guess I know New York as well as you do." "You have been quoted as having expressed surprise at the number of men here who carry pistols. Is It true that so many do?” “Go into any night restaurant and you will see the hip pocket of every Tom, Dick and Harry bulging with a little toy gun that he couldn't use if he had to. Those chaps have no right to carry pistols, and no occasion to, either. And the silly part of it Is that the way they carry them proves they don't know how to use them. Do Things Better In West “If one of them tried to pull his gun in a scrap he would have to tear the linings out of his clothes before he would get it out - Anybody can see the number of pistols that are worn here; the police know all about them but they don't interfere. They have too much else to do. "Out In the west we would not let men carry pistols as they do here. In Dodge City, If the deputy sheriff learned that a man had a gun, he would follow him Into a saloon and make him give It up. Here no one In­ terferes." “Do yon consider New York, gen­ erally speaking, a well policed city?" Graft In Police Force. "Well policed? I rhouid say not. How can It be under such a system? The police force Is rotten with 'graft' and politics. A man pays to get on the police force and lie regards It as a legitimate thing to make what he can out of it. .A district leader re­ wards his political friends with Jobs on the force and they have to do him favors. This system goes all through the department, from the inspectors down to the patrolmen." Reporters Are Fakers. . “Do you know former SupL Thomas Byrnes?" “I do not. I never met him. This Illustrates one of the 'fakes' that have been written about me. It has been told how Byrnes brought me on from the west to guard* George Gould. "Now, I never saw Byrnes, and I never saw George Gould, and I never acted as bodyguard to him or anybody else. You have some great fakers on newspapers here.

April 3.—William Ryan, who was sent to Waupun peni­ tentiary from La Crosse for five years for burglary recently, Is found to have stolen Standard Oil bonds worth $100,­ 000 from a Winona banker shortly be­ fore his arrest here. Half of the bonds were found on Ryan when ar rested and the others are said to bo planted where they can not be found by the authorities. When taken to Winona Ryan told the police the bal­ ance of the lionds would never be found until he produced them and was paid his price. The victim of the robbery, whose name the police refuse to divulge through fear of possible business em­ barrassment to him, though admitting the details of the robbery, was spot­ ted by Ryan while on the train and was followed home to Winona. The birttker was carrying a small grip which he handled carefully, and Ryan suspected it contained valuables. That night he broke Into the house and se­ cured the bonds. Ryan told the police after his arrast that he did not dare negotiate them except in New York, where he had confederates, and he was committing a small burglary here to get funds to take him east when captured. .

Warsaw, April 3.—A serious conflict occurred at 7:30 o'clock Sunday even­ ing in Dzika street, where a Jewish socialist society, known as the Bund, had organized a demonstration.

No. 45 OBJECT OF SPECIAL SESSION PROBLEM BEFORE THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS. How to Improve the Heating Facili­ ties at Court House and Jail. At the written request of .six nf the supervisors a special session of the board has been culled to meet nt one o’clock next Monday to consider the question of heating the court house. It is quite an important question and wo apprehend the county legislators will find it rather difficult to settle it satisfactorily. It is to be hoped that the board will deal with it in a broad and business like manner. If it be­ comes necessary to put in a new heat­ ing plant It will be economical to put in a good one, even though the first cost may seem rather high. Itcertainly will not pay to continue the present antiquated, expensive and inconvenient system. In order to ascertain the need of a new plant, the Herald has token some pains to learn something of lhe evils complained of in the present healing plant and to learn the opinions of the county officials upon lhe subject. The court house is now heated by five Smead furnaces, which with the coal space required, take up nearly all of the basement. With all this complicated system of furnaces, pipes, cold air flues, brick work, etc., it is difficult in cold weather to keep all the rooms in the building comfortable. When the court room is being warmed, it often happens that the county treasurer's and regis­ ter of deed's offices below it, *re too cold to be occupied. •Sometimes the clerk’s and the probate court rooms are uncomfortably cold during severe weather. Another serious defect in the present plant arises from tho coal dust which penetrates every room in the building, leaving its grimy track upon wall and furniture, and covering every book and paper and record with a coating of dirty, black powder. The damage done to building and contents by the subtle particles of soot which defy doors and vaults and find their way everywhere in the building is great. Although this dust is always present, its quantity is greatly Increased every time that a new carload of coal is shoveled imo the cellar and this happens several times a year. And the hauling of the coal does another damage worth considering, by cutting deep ruts in tne otherwise beautiful lawn, breaking the'walksand disfiguring the window casings. Another point. There are in the basement four fire proof vaults, direct­ ly beneath the vaults on the main floor, used by-the clerk, the judge of probate, the register of deeds and the treasurer. These vaults were intended to be used for storing the old records and papers now filed in the upper vaults whenever the latter should become filled. The regular vaults now in use are nearly full and it will soon be necessary to re­ move their contents, or part of them, to the lower vaults, in order to make room for new records and papers. But the vaults in the basement are not fit to use for such purpose, as long as the basement is occupied by fur­ naces. This affords another reason for removing the furnaces from the build­ ing. Again the heating facilities in the jail are pronounced unsatisfactory, though not as bad as those in the court house. This building is heated by steam and has a hard coal furnace. But Sheriff Furnace suggests one very serious condition as existing in that building. The furnace is beneath the office and in case il should set fire to the building there would be no way of escape for the inmates of the jail. It is being suggested that the best way to remedy all these defects is by building a heating plant with plenty of storage capacity for coal on the south­ west corner of the grounds, near the court house and the jail, and put in a steam plant with sufficient capacity to heat both buildings. It is obvious that this scheme would do away with the dust nuisance, and make the vaults in the basement fit for storage purposes, and a number of other rooms available for offices, etc. It would remove all danger of Dre In the jail and reduce in­ surance rates on both buildings. It costs at present over $500 a year for coal for the court house and about 8300 a year for the jail. There is no doubt that a good steam healing plant, with plenty of boiler capacity would be fiisjich more economical to run than the jKsent very unsatisfactory plant. ^Shese are some of Lhe principle con­ siderations that, it seems to the HER­ ALD, should have weight with ihe su­ pervisors when they come to grapple with the question to come before them at the special session. It is easy to foresee that tbe principal objection HASTINGS, MICHIGAN, THURSDAY, APRIL 13, 1905. that can be urged against the proposi­ tion will be the financial one. It will cost several thousand dollars to put iu a satisfactory heating plant. Will they be justified in making such ex­ pense? It seems to the Herald that if the supervisors shall find the conditions tc be substantially as we have found them, there can be no question but that they will be fully justified in applying a thorough remedy. The county's prop­ erty on the court house square is too valuable and beautiful to be disfigured by coal dust, its records too important to be blackened with dirt, its financial value too great to be subjected to need­ less danger from fire, when the outlay of a few thousand dollars, which would add but a few ceuts of taxation on every thousand, would afford an effectual remedy. The Officio! Figures. We take the following figures from the official canvass of the county: • The total vote in the county for the state ticket was as follows: For supremo court justice, Judge Steere, republican, received 2608, Judge Vernon Smith, democrat, 1740; Westermun, prohibitionist, 179. For regents the republican caidLdales received 2583; lhe democratic 1722: tho prohibition, 179. For member state board of education, McKonc, republican, received 2680; Henley, democrat, 1724. The vote on circuit judge is given below.

At Celebration of Jacob Maus’ 75th Birthday Anniversary. Editor Herald: The writer was very much interested in your last issue and especially in your editorial “Genuine Non-Partisanship." 1 am also pleased that your paper is open to the discussion of the subject, as nothing is of more interest to the citi­ zens of this city, than this question of non-partisanship in city elections. I believe the readers of your paper will take whatever may be offered u. er this head as not in any way personal, but as dealing with a condition with which we are all familiar and which ns good citizens we must bravely face, and if possible solve. We believe it is best to call things by their right names, and do so kindly and without personal prejudice. When the citizens' movement was started it was for the sole purpose of improving our city government, and to do away with party feuds and person­ alities from which nothing good can ever come. The men from both parties who assist­ ed in this matter believed, and do yet. that, party lines should not be con­ sidered in conducting the affairs of the city; that the men who collect and spend about 820,000 each year for this city, should be chosen because they are good men for the place, and not be­ cause they are either democrats or re­ publicans. They believed the business of the city should be conducted without regard to party politics, the same as every business is conducted. These gentlemen fully believed (hat a large majority of the citizens of this city, would Interest themselves in this matter and would be broad minded enough to lay aside petty party quarrels and unite on this platform. In this they have been sadly disappointed. They have been greatly surprised to learn that a number of citizens who should be interested iu this matter have shown no interest except to echo lhe reasons invented by party bosses for opposing it. Some good people have been "seeing things." Especially schemes, all sorts of schemes. Has the citizens’ party movement been a failure? Yes and no. in so far as they hoped to do away with person­ alities. and feuds they have failed. Failed not for lack of merit, for every honest citizen will admit that it is ad­ visable to have citv officials elected on their merit and regardless of politics. Every man must if he is honest with himself, admit that drawing party lines in city affairs is a wrong at all times, and an injury to this town and every other town. The writer hopes it will be done away with in the near future, and two non-partisan tickets be the means used in city elections. Every effort in this direction will be bitterly fought by office holders and office seek­ ci's in both parties. Men who hold office on account of party pull could not get office on a non-partisan ticket, hence their bitter opposition. In so far as raising the calibre of city officials is concerned the citizens move­ ment has been successful, and has every reason to feel gratified at the result. When the citizen party started to put up men on their merit regardless of politics, the opposition hustled for good men to compete and the result is grati­ fying. If the citizen’s party should disband, we would at once revert to old party politics and get anyone that would run, to serve in the non-salaried offices. What of the future? Mr. Editor, you state that you are In favor of "genuine non-partisanship," and I presume there are a great many of your readers that will agree with you, who have not voted the citize is’ ticket. The writer is also in favor of, and will agree with you to do all be can, to assist in this "genuine non-par­ tisanship," if it is an improvement on what we now have. Now let us get at the matter, if you have a better plan give it to us. 1 be­ lieve every member of the citizens' party is willing and anxious to adopt any plan that is better than we now have. In as much os you and your readers, as well as the republicans who have opposed us, have been asked and urged to associate with us, and many of your friends have been earnestly re­ quested to serve as candidates and hove had many invitations to assist in the management of lhe party, any criticism from you or them as to campaign meth­ ods or management, is manifestly un­ just and out of place. Now Mr. Editor, if you have a better brand of non-partisanship, please do not keep it bottled up longer, but give it to us. You and your friends will get plenty of support for n sensible, well developed, and consistent plan that will improve on that already attempt­ ed. You and your friends have no li­ cense to criticise the management of the citizens’ party, for lhe reason that you refused to join and help to manage it correctly. The thing to which you object would probably never have hap­ Four generations were present at a birthday celebration in honor of Jacob Maus of Hastings, held yesterday at lhe home of his son, Frank N. Maus, 709 Stockbridge avenue. A company of twenty-fire children, grandchildren and great grandchildren gathered from Sioux City, Iowa, Grand 1 lapids, Hast­ ings and Lima, Ind., to do honor to Mr. Maus on his seventy-fifth birthday. Jacob Maus was liorn in Bingen on the Rhine, April 5, 1830. At the age of 14 he came to the United States and made his home in Cleveland, Ohio. In 1854 he moved to Hastings and In 1877 toGrand Rapids, where be was engaged iu the grocery business. He is a vet­ eran of the Civil war and past comrounder of Fitzgerald Post, G. A. IL In March, Hastings lodge, I. O. O. F., gave a reception in his honor. He had been a mem er of that lodge for 50 years. He is also a prominent mem­ ber of the Knights of Pythias. Yesterday he surprised his children by presenting each of them with a 820 bill. They in turn gave him a rocking chair handsomely upholstered in leath­ er. Luncheon was served al one o'clock and at six o’clock u five-course dinner. The dining room and table were deco­ rated with roses and ferns and the re­ ception room with carnations. The evening was occupied with music, speeches and games. , Mr. Maus has three sons, F. N. Maus, at whose home the reception was held, J. L. Maus of Hastings, J. M. Maus of Sioux City, Iowa, and one. daughter, Mrs. J. M. Buchanan of Grand Rapids. A grandson, Roland Maus, of the Howe military school in Lima, Ind., was also present. The two great grandchildren are 11 and 6 years old.—Kalamazoo Gazette. Dedication of Masonic Temple. Tbomapnle...................................................

There is no doubt of the wisdom of this action. The duties of the city clerk are such as to really require all his time and we believe the city will profit by requiring tbe clerk to give all his attention to bis official work, even though the salary has been increased. In fact a still larger in­ crease would have been justifiable. Prospects For Masonic Temple. The Hastings Masonic Association held an adjourned meeting Monday night and elected three new members, D. K. Titman, C. H. Osborn and F.'E. Johnston, to fill vacancies in the associ­ ation. The trustees held a meeting Tuesday afternoon and organized by electing Judge Smith, president; C. H. Bauer, secretary and A. A. Anderson, treasurer. A new soliciting committee to raise a building fund fur the new temple was appointed, us follows. A. A. Ander­ ton, D. E. Fuller, F. L. Heath, W. H.

Wednesday. April 19 will witness the dedication of the new Masonic temple at Charlotte. The association have worked out a plan which they think will be both instructive and entertain­ ing. The dedicatory services, under tbe direction of the grand lodge of­ ficers, F. and A. M., of Michigan, will begin promptly at 6:00 p. in. Immedi­ ately following will be a program of entertainment consisting of speeches by iho grand lodge officers, also vocal and instrume..tal music by foreign and local talent. At tbe completion of the entertainment program the dedicatory ball will commence and continue till —. A sumptuous lunch will be served by the ladies of tbe Eastern Star, and everything will be done to make this one of the most joyous and instructive entertainments ever given in Char­ lotte.

Reasonable prices will be placed upon these lots. Those desiring to purchase and make month­ ly payments will be accommodated and without interest. Some of the most beautiful residence spots in tbe city are now at the disposal of tbe citizens of Hastings and they should not fail to improve this opportunity. The com­ pany proposes to make it possible for everyone who wants a lot to be accom­ modated. Parties desiring to purchase one or two acres or more of the farm west of the creek will also be accommo­ dated. Mr. Sheldon will be pleased to show any prospective purchasers the property and furnish prices. The Hastings Realty Company. Special Session of Supervisors.

If the principles for which the citi­ zens’ party stand are commendable, let us correct the mistakes that have been made and all unite to make this one of the best governed cities in this state, and put in men that will get the best possible results from the money to be expended each year. Your personal experience during the past year must have convinced you that all citizens are on a common footing and all can agree as to what is best for the city and all can work for lhe com­ mon good, when politics are left out. The only point on which we differ is politics, and we all know that it is ground on which we can never hope to agree. We can I believe all agree that political lines are not necessary or de­ sirable in city government. This be­ ing the case, why in the name of com­ mon sense, should we continue to hang onto and fight over this old carcass, why not, like sensible men, go bury it, and then all agree on what is best for the cily.

It is evident that some of the City Clerk. members ought to be given an oppor­ tunity to breathe the freer air of the country for a while.” Tho governor said that a change in the republican membership could be easily brought about, “by’ nominating men who stand for the things lhe people are asking in legislation. It the people want lower duties, and I believe they do," he said, “they will see to it that their nominees next time are pledged to make the tar­ iff schedules conform to our platform. Competition,” said the governor in con­ clusion, “is the only means of keeping prices down. The reasonable applica­ tion of tho protective tariff is to give the producer in this country a duty­ equal to the difference in thn cost of producing the same article abroad. But there are many articles upon which tho duty is so much higher that it be­ comes a factor in creating a monopoly. The result is that homo manufacturers do not feel the competition of foreign countries until their prices are raised to the level of tho unfair protection af­ forded by the tariff. This is indefens­ ible." Governor Cummins is believed to bo a candidate for the senate to succeed Senator Dolliver whose term expires two years hence. When asked regard­ ing the allegation be refused to affirm or deny it, but Senators Allison and Dolliver have no doubt as to the gov­ ernor’s intentions. He has become the beneficiary of a recent supreme court decision which has the effect of extend­ ing his term for two years, which will keep him in office right up to the time of the senatorial contest, although the Allison organization had hoped to re­ tire him to the obscurity of private life a year in advance of that event. Governor Cummins' expectation that the next congress will pay no heed to President Roosevelt's recommendation that tbe tariff be revised agrees en­ tirely with a statement made recently to your correspondent by Senator Hansbrough. “The house is dominated by an oligarchy of stand patters,” said the senator, and he added, “Tariff readjust­ ment is dead." The situation is indeed a peculiar one. There is doubtless a majority in the senate, including lhe democratic membership, to pass a tariff l bill providing for material readjustI meat, or revision, but as the senator says, tbe house is dominated by the I stand patters. Undor the development | of the pernicious Reed rules the house has lost its character ns a deliberative body and must invariably act under the whip and spur of party discipline. The committee on rules, which consists of Speaker Cannon aud Representatives Payne, Giosven or, Dalzell, Williams and Underwood, controls lhe actions of the house as absolutely as Caesar ruled Rome. Cannon, Grosvenor and Dalzell are all ardent stand palters and lhe democratic members of the committee, being in the minority, aro mere ciph­ ers. No member can speak on the Door of tbe house without permission of the speaker or the committee on rules. A member who desires to make a speech must 11 rsi consult the speaker and explain what he wishes to speak on and oo^y after such explanation will the speaker consent to recognize him. As the constitution gives the house the exclusive power to initiate revenue bills and as all tariff bills are revenue measures, Lhe senate is powerless in tbe face of opposition by the house. The grave mistake made by Governor Cummins and by Senator Hansbrough is Lheir belief that tariff revision cun ever be accomplished by u republican house. The people must elect a demo­ cratic majority to the lower chamber of congress and until they do there We Trust Doctors If you are suffering from impure blood, thin blood, de­ bility, nervousness, exhaus­ tion, you should begin at once with Ayer’s Sarsaparilla, the Sarsaparilla you have known all your life.

If the supreme court discovers many more as serious legal blunders perpe­ trated by tho Philippine government us that brought to light by the suit of Henry W. Peabody of Boston and Ma­ nila, the treasury deficit will begin to assume alarming proportions. The court has just decided in this case that all the duties collected on goods brought from the United Stales to the Philippines, during the period of mili­ tary occupation, from April 11, 18119, to March 8,1901, were illegal and must be refunded to the importer.-. That means that lhe United States will have to pay back to the importers a sum estimated at $7,000,000. This tnomey formed the revenue of the Philippines during that period and was expend­ ed for administrative expenses as fast as received and the United Suites will now have to make good the . ss.

About Rheumatism. There are few diseases that inflict more torture than rheumatism and there Is probablyluo disease for which such a varied and useless lot of rem­ edies have been suggested. To say that it can be cured Is, therefore, a bold statement to make, but Chamber­ lain's Pain Balm, which enjoys an ex­ tensive sale, has met with great success in the treatment of this disease. One application of Pain Balm will relieve the pain, and hundreds of sufferers have testified to permanent cures by its use. Why suffer when Pain Balm affords such quick relief and costs but a trifle?

F. HELD. Editor and Proprietor. Mr. Rockefeller’s Gift. The proffer of a hundred thousand dollars by John D. Rockefeller to the American Board of Missions has pro­ voked a very lively discussion as to whether such a gift coming from such a source ought to bo accepted. Follow­ ing the strong protest of tbe Congrega­ tional ministers against accepting the gift there has been a general discussion by religious leaders and-by the secular press as to what the American Board ought to do in the premises. Ought the board to accept the money of the Standard Oil magnate when it is moral­ ly certain that such money was made by methods that are generally acknowl­ edged to have been subversive of Chris­ tian ethics? If it be admitted that Mr. Rockefeller kept inside the technical limits of the law, when he was building up his tyrannical power, crushing out competition, conspiring with railroads, relentlessly ruining all who tried to compete with him in business, can any part of his ill-gotten millions be accept­ ed by a Christian body whose mission is to propagate principles that utterly condemn such methods? On the other hand, is it competent for the Board toinqulreinto Mr. Rocke­ feller’s business methods before accept­ ing his generous gift, to pass judgment upon him when he is admittedly a man of reputable, even Christian, private life, to single him out before all the world to be rebuked and humiliated, when other men’s gifts are accepted without question? Is it fair to Mr. Rockefeller to assume that he is guilty of all tbe things with which bo is charged, when he has never been con­ victed by any court or Investigating body of any violation of law or morals? And even admitting him to be guilty of all that he is charged with, cannct his conscience money be accepted and turned to a noble purpose without by implication approving tbe manner of its acquisition? Have not men been easing their consciences in the same way, though perhaps in a smaller de­ gree, ever since Christianity has exist­ ed? How many men hpve made be­ quests to the Church during all the ages, whose methods of acquiring their fortunes would not bear the light of in­ vestigation? Has the Church done wrong all these centuries to accept the contributions of sinners whose acts she must have condemned? And has the time now come when, beginning with Mr. Rockefeller, she must establish the new principle that money can no long­ er be acceptable for the spread of Chris­ tianity unless it Is positively known that such money was acquired by Chris­ tian methods? Thus the controversy rages around tbe devoted head of the Standard Oil king In a way that cannot be very com­ fortable for him if be has any sensitive­ ness in bis make-up. However it may be settled so far as the American Board of Missions is concerned there is a sig­ nificance to it al), broader and deeper than the personal element. Tbe dis­ cussion reveals the existence of a public conscience and that that conscience Is alive to the iniquity of inordinate wealth-getting. Mr. Rockefeller is the type of a class of men who have followed unscrupulous methods, debauching leg­ islatures, forming illegal combinations, conspiring with railroads, obtaining all manner of special privileges and inside advantages to take millions away from their fellow men and build up forthem­ selves a tremendous plutocratic power, that menaces today our very institu­ tions. It may be unjust to single out Mr. Rockefeller when he tries to do a generous act, to visit public opprobrium on bis bead alone, at tbe same time lauding Mr. Carnegie for his broad lib­ erality. But there is a hopeful signifi­ cance back of it all, that tbe world will not forever tolerate conditions that make it possible for such financial gen­ iuses as John D. Rockfeller to exploit his fellow men to such phenomenal ex­ tent as he has done. With all of this man’s hundreds of millions what satis­ faction can he take In reviewing his ca­ reer, when his triumph is so empty of human sympathy and so lacking in power to win men’s hearts that even bls attempt to do good with his money brings upon him a storm of contemptu­ ous reproach? Will Chicago Solve the Problem? The election of Judge Dunne to the mayoralty of Chicago takes the ques­ tion of municipal ownership of street railways out of the realm of academic discussion into that of practical experi­ ment. For, although the city of Glas­ gow, with a population of three quar­ ters of a million, has made a fair suc­ cess of municipal ownership, no Amer­ ican city has gone so far as Chicago now proposes to do. Chicago under its new administra­ tion, will probably refuse to renew the expiring franchises to the street rail­ way corporations, but will purchase the lines and operate them. But it cannot be expected that the carrying of this plan into effect will bo an easy matter. On the contrary May­ or Dunne will find his policy beset with serious dlfliculties. Though endorsed by a large majority at the polls there can be no doubt that tbe corporate interests of the big city, the powerful monied interests, and the large and inQucntial clans of conservative citizens will look with disapproval or at least cold indifference, on the proposed mu­ nicipal ownership plan. Already the newspapers that supported Judge HarI lan are beginning their hostile criti­ cisms. Then, the difficulty of arriving at a fair and acceptable estimate of the value of the street railway properties, will be great. Intricate questions of law and equity are concerned. Shall the purchase price be fixed by the market price of tho securities of the different lines, the value of the tangi­ ble property plus tho value of the un­ expired franchises, or by tho earning capacity of the lines? These questions are already being discussed, and it will be very remarkable if they can be settled without difficulty and litigation. The problem, however, is likely to be worked out in some way and tho idea of municipal ownership and opera­ tion be eventually exemplified. Much interest will be directed to Chicago’s experiment. Other cities will watch the effort with close attention. There is no more vital problem connected with municipal life than tbe one of ur­ ban transportation. It is difficult for one who has not Jived in a great city and been subject to its transportation service from day to day to realize how near to its citizens’ welfare is the mat­ ter of cheap, rapid and convenient ac­ cess to every part of Its territory. Detroit, for example, has it times been profoundly agitated over ques­ tions of city ownership and three cent fares, and it will be remembered that the late Governor Pingree made a strenuous effort to accomplish both these objects. He failed, largely through the very difficulty which Judge Dunne is now to be confronted with, the determination of a just price to be paid for the street railway properties. De­ troit, therefore, will be intensely inter­ ested in Chicago’s experience with tbe same question which Mr. Pingree was unable to solve. Other larger cities will likewise be concerned in the suc­ cess or failure of municipal ownership in the second city in the country. If success crowns Chicago’s bold experi­ ment other cities will doubtless adopt tbe same principle. | monious and enthusiastic can do much. We need more factories. Can wc not, by systematic effort secure them? Other towns are securing them. Why not Hastings? We have a beautiful little city, healthful, accessible, growing, enter­ prising, prosperous. Why not let lhe world know about our attractions by systematic advertising. We have good schools, splendid water, sewerage, free delivery, and nnny other features of an up-to-date town. We lack some things which united action will bring. We ought to have a public library, a com­ modious, well appointed opera house, paved streets. We can have these things If we will all take hold together and push. Then why not all citizens lay aside criticism and fault findings, and stand loyally by the Hastings Board of Trade, an organ­ ization, absolutely nonpartisan in its character, and wholly devoted to build­ ing up the interests of this city. Why should any one object to such a course? What better agency con be devised for promoting the city’s welfare? Let us take a fresh hold from this time forward and push Hastings. Whatever helps Hastings helps each one of us, whatever hurts Hastings hurts every one of us. Why, then, be an obstructionist, a sulkor, a critic? We can’t afford to be such. It is to our own self interest, to the interest of our families, to the interest of us all .that we take hold together, and push our city clear to the front and to tbe top. An Unjust Criticism of the Election Commission. The Banner’s article last week on what it chose to call the unfairness of the election commission was itself a very striking illustration of unfairness. It carried the impression to any one not conversant with the facts that the commission, consisting of H. H. Snyder, Harry Hayes and City Clerk Homer DePue, were governed by partisanship in arranging tbe order of the ticket, and unfairly placed Lhe citizens' ticket in an unfavorable position, when they might have placed It in a favorable po­ sition. We happen to know that these gentle­ men very carefully and conscientiously performed what they felt to be their duty in this matter, without bias or de­ sire to favor any particular ticket. Every suggestion as to arranging the two city tickets was carefully weighed, and the only thing that could be justly allowed to govern their decision, tbe law itself, guided their course. The law provides that the ticket of the party that polled the most votes for presidential electors in the state at the last general election shall come first, and the other tickets arranged relative­ ly by the same rule. This provision required the republican ticket to be placed first, the democratic next, and so on. This arrangement was followed, but it brought the citizens’ ticket clear to tbe right on the machine. Of course this was unfortunate for the citizens’ ticket, but there was no help for it except by doing what the Banner suggests, “place the two city tickets apart from the state tickets, placing the democratic ticket first and the citizens* ticket last.” This would indeed have made it easier for voters to compare the two tickets, and while it would not have made it any easier for tbe citizens* party it would have made it harder for the democrats. But would that have been fair to the latter who by virtue of the situation happened to hold an advantage? Would uot the democrats have had good reason to find fault if the commission had deprived them of an advantage which was right­ fully theirs? If the situation had been reversed would not the citizens’ party have vigorously objected to being de­ prived of an advantage which fairly belonged to them? The fact is there was only one per­ fectly fair thing for the commission to do and that was to follow the exact letter of the law, letting the advantage come where il might, and that is just what these three gentlemen, acting deliberately and unanimously, did. To accuse them of unfairness Is unjutt. Now, Let Us Push Hastings. The election is over. The causes for contention if there were any, no longer exist.

CH U RCH MAN U AL PROVI DIES WAY Allegation at Boston Conference That the Oil Magnate Is Guilty of Extor-Non la Sufficient Ground Upon Which to Base Charges. SUBMARINE BOATS ARE PREFERRED TO MINES Fortifications Board Committee De­ clares That Strong Currents Ren­ der Contact Bombs Dangerous. Newport, R. 1., April 10.—The third committee of the fortification board, of which Rear Admiral Charles M. Thomas, U. S. N., Is chairman, Is de­ voting special attention to the dan­ gers Incident to the use of submarine mines and it Is learned that In the forthcoming report emphasis will bo placed on the advantage of substitut­ ing submarine boats for mines In har­ bor defenses. Discussing this subject, a member of the committee said; Mines cannot be relied upon in time of war. Tho trials given submarine mines in Narragansett bay resulted unsatisfactor­ ily, due chiefly to the strong currents which sweep through the harbor and entrances to the bay. and make such defenses extremely dangerous. This Is one ot the important subjects that lhe fortification board has already taken up and will thoroughly exam­ ine during the Inspection of fortifica­ tions and the land and floating de­ fenses. "The established fact that a num­ ber of the Russian warships were blown up by their own submarine mines and the present practice a! England in discarding submarine mine defenses to a great extent In harbors where there are wide chan­ nels to defend and where the tides are strong, and placing there subma­ rine boats, has added to the sentiment in favor of replacing mines with boats.” New York, April 10.—If any mem­ ber of the Fifth Avenue Baptist church formally calls attention to tho fact that charges of extortion were made against John D. Rockefeller at the Boston conference of Congrega­ tional ministers the church must put Mr. Rockefeller on trial, and If the charges are found true it must expel him. The pastor of Mr. Rockefeller’s church has no option In the matter. It is the Baptist law On page 44 of the Baptist Church Manual Is the fol­ lowing: "The moral tone of tbe entire mem­ bership may be lowered by the bad example of one member. "No opportunity should be afforded to one guilty of misdemeanors to shield himself behind some graver offender who remains in the church unrebuked.

Feeling Prevails at St Petersburg That Vice Admiral Rojestvensky May Turn the Tide In Favor of the Romanoff Dynasty. Salt Lake City. Utah. April 10.—A statement that is regarded as un­ usually significant, in view of the re­ peated charges that the mormon church interferes in politics in Utah and Idaho, was made in the course of a sermon delivered by Apostle Hy­ rum Mack Smith at the conference Sunday. Apostle Smith Is a son of President Smith and is the youngest member of the quorum of apostles. Ht began by severely censuring the men who have been criticizing Presi­ dent Smith through the Utah news­ papers. Though he mentioned no names, he unquestionably had refer­ ence to former Senator Frank Can­ non and C. A. Smurthwalle. Attacka Smith's Critics. "The real murderers of Lincoln. Garfield and McKinley were, never punished," said Apostle Smith. "The real criminals are the writers and cartoonists who depict them as em­ perors and oppressors.” He then referred to Roosevelt as a brave man, who was compelled by tho writers and cartoonists to travel with a guard of secret service men. Continuing he said: "In President Roosevelt we have a friend and ho has friends among the Latter Day Saints, and we will be true to him and true to old glory because we are a true people. President Roosevelt has the courage of his convictions and will not be moved by prejudice. He will give us a square deal. We will do al! we can to sustain President Roosevelt, for we are true to him and we will demonstrate It in the future as we have proved it In the past.” Real Murderers Go Free. J. Golden Kimball of the quorum of seventies made a savage attack on President Smith’s critics, pronouncing them traitors to the church. "When you want to go to hell black your boots and go like a gentleman, not like a traitor,” he said. Sunday was the last day of the Mor­ mon conference and It passed with­ out the expected revelation concern­ ing polygamy and church interference In politics and business. The silence of President Smith Is taken to mean that the church leaders Intend to pur­ sue their course and to crush oppo­ sition ar it develops.

St. Petersburg, April 10.—There is reason to believe that Vice Admiral Rojestvensky's entrance into the Chi­ nn sea has been followed by orders for the cruisers Gromobol, Rossia, and Bogdtyr, which have been ready for some time at Vladivostok, to put to sea. Whether It is the intention to send them south immediately or to hold them In the vicinity of Vladi­ vostok is not known. Their, appearnnce outside the roadstead of Vladi­ vostok would constitute a potential threat against Admiral Togo's rear, which will compel the retention In or dispatch of a number of heavy fight­ ing ships to Japanese waters. Thus Admiral Togo seems to be virtually placed between two fires. To Extend Olive Branch. The peace Influences In the govern­ ment urge that this favorable strategic position presents the psychological moment for offering officially the clive branch to Japan, reasoning that no matter how confident *the Japan­ ese government may be of Togo’s vic­ tory it cannot overlook the possibility of defeat nor fail to appreciate the complete disaster which would follow the transfer of the mastery of lhe sea to Russia. With so much depending upon the issue, they argue, both countries have mutual interests in avoiding an actual test, and it is not impossible, there­ fore. that a new move In lhe direction of peace may come Just as the world expects to hear the call to quarters for the greatest naval battle of mod­ ern times. Certainly the spirits of the war parly have been greatly raised by Rojestvensky’s success in penetrating to the China sea; and the prospect ot n naval battle, even with the odds against a Russian victor}’ which would change tbe entire complexion of the situation, has aroused some­ thing like a flash of enthusiasm in many Russian breasts. Reinforcements. Some naval officers express the opinion that Rojestvensky, having now safely navigated the straltH, in­ stead of sailing north to meet the Japanese, can afford to calmly await Vice Admiral Nebogatoff, with his di­ vision of the squadron, who could ar­ rive there in about three weeks. Tbe papers Sunday morning print­ ed Singapore dispatches without com­ ment, tbe Sviet being the only excep­ tion. This paper views the news from Rojestvensky as an auspicious pre­ lude to a decisive battle, “which may show that over Rojestvensky still shines the happy star which helped him, when a lieutenant, to save the fragile Vesta 1n an unequal con­ flict with a Turkish battleship." The Sviet expresses the hope that Rojestvensky Is desllned to turn tho tables, and that, even In case of de­ feat. some of his vessels will be able to break through and reach the Jap­ anese sea.

Kokomo, Ind., April 10.—A fire in the upper balcony of the Sipe theater Sunday night, caused by the Ignition ot moving picture films, Eent a streak of flame far back into the gallery, burning scores of persons, and caused a panic In which scores of others .were Injured. Men and women fought and tram­ pled over each other to reach the exits, scrambled over seats, and broke and jumped from windows. A youth leaped from a window In the upper balcony and probably will die. Mo-e than GOO persons were In tho audl'-nce and filled nearly every seat In tho playhouse. The first act had ended and the moving picture ma­ chine was being used to amuse tbe audience while the scenery was belug shifted. Suddenly the long roll of cell­ uloid films used on the machine be­ came ignited from contact with an electric light "Look out everybody, the theater Is on fire!" shouted tho operator of tho machine as the flames burst forth. They shot forward Instantly along the celluloid and reached tbe roll, which was being unwound. Then came an explosion and a wild rush for the exits began. As tbe blaze was seen in tho dark­ ened auditoriumJielow a score of men cried "Fire!" ana the 600 spectators in the three sections of the theater be­ gan a raca for the exits. Albert Jacobs, 17 years old. broke through a large window in the upper gallery and leaped fifty feet to the ground. Both his legs were broken and he re­ ceived other injuries which. It is be­ lieved. will make his recovery Im­ possible. ■ The flames burned themselves out, and in a few moments tbe danger was past. Those in the upper gallery, seeing this, did not join so wildly In the flight, but in the other parts of the theater the rush continued. Leap Through Windows. At the foot of the balcony stairs, where the Tlrst and second floor crowds met. the was so solid that many were knocked down and In­ jured. Mrs. R. L. Jacobs and Clar­ ence Hunt fell and were trampled on, being seriously injured. Several wom­ en fainted. Every window on the first floor was opened or broken and scores leaped through these. Others scrambled over seats to reach the throng at the doors, and it was several minutes before all were outside. Mrs. Bert Jacobs, one of the women who faint­ ed, is in a serious condition. The man most severely burned is Vance Hunt, who' was sitting near the pic­ ture machine. Panic In a Poorhouse.

Ta*ata HE brief advertisement stated that an unfurnished apartment, “rent very reasonable,” was to bo had at a certain address. The locality was not remote from fash­ ionable regions, but was itself some­ what on the decline. Mr. Bransfield had a fair mental picture of it show­ lug a row of small, old style buildings between more modern structures ad­ joining the avenues. Possibly a young man In bard hick nnd condemned to the severest economy might find some­ thing suitable to his means. ' The street seemed to have Improved, however, when Bransfield came to It, or was the difference in ills own pock­ et? The Inst time that ho remembered having passed that way was in May. He was then the local manager of the Farrell Aluminium company, with a salary of $300 a month and fat com­ missions, and, though he had just loot nearly all bls savings In an unwise In­ vestment, he certainly djd not feel poor. But in October there wasn’t any Farrell Aluminium company ou earth and hadn’t been any since tho grand smash up of early June, and Edgar Bransfield was manager ot nothing, with a salary of nothing and no com­ missions. He hnd never sought employment be­ fore. He hnd been thrust Into the alu­ minium company immediately upon leaving college nnd for eight years had climbed from one round of the ladder to the next. Suddenly the ladder Itself Lad vanished, leaving him standing with both feet planted on the empty air. He hnd been hopeful nt first, then perplexed and finally scared. His faith in himself as a business man was un­ impaired, but he hnd discovered that there was one commodity which he did not know how to sell—namely, his own services. At tbe time when he went in search of an unfurnished room—to be fitted up with a few odds nnd cuds rescued from tbe aluminium company's offices—be was considering an offer of a position with a salary that would just fall short of paying his board iu the house where ho had been living; hence the need of n change In his arrangements. As he walked along the street he was grieved to discover that the number mentioned In the advertisement desig­ nated was one of the best kept nnd most attractive buildings. It looked like n nice place to live, but not for Edgar Bransfield. He would have preferred to see a- somewhat shabby exterior. His own exterior, by tho way, was anything but shabby. lie was wear­ ing a suit of clothes so good that bo had been tempted that morning to pawn It, but hnd passed sentence upon his dress clothes instead nnd had ob­ tained 11 loan of $7 upon them. He still bad a small sum In a bnnk, but hnd resolved that it should not be less until he hnd taken employment prom­ ising nn income In excess of his ex­ penses.

Obviously there must be a bulky six footer named Allen among the tenants. ‘•Looking for the Janitor?” inquired the young gentleman, pausing upon the stairs. And then, without waiting for a reply, he put Ids head over the ban­ ister rail and yelled ••Jack!” Instantly n youth In shirt sleeves and without a hat apjienred from below as if shot up through a trapdoor. He liad yellow hair In a wavy pompadour and bright blue eyes; upon the whole, a very animated and cheerful person to have about the house. Bransfield ad­ mired enthtjffaurn nnd desplued a sour man in any ntntion. yet lie felt himself too nervous upon the present occasion to appreciate so prompt nnd startling a servitor. "Hight thia way, sir,” said the Jani­ tor and was halfway up the first Hight of stairs before the words were fairly out of his mouth. Bransfield followed because he was ashamed to llee. They ascended a second flight and turned toward the front of the house. Bransfield wished it had been tbe rear, for bis mind was engaged in saving money. A Jock cl'cked and a door swung open. He beheld a small room tastefully papered, having a hardwood floor ns clean ns a plate, n spotless cell­ ing nnd glnss In the window wnslied to tbe point of Invisibility. “How much?” be begun. “Open plumbing, hot and cold wnter,” said Jack. And Bransfield, looking over his shoulder, saw nn alarmingly elegant bowl with gleaming spigots. "I’ll commit a small extravagance for this outfit,” snld he to himself. “Say ghteen n month.” “Always plenty of hot wnter here nnd in the bath,” said Jack, opening n door. “Tho bath!” echoed Bransfield. “There’s a tub that’s big enough to swim in,” said tho Janitor, with pride. Ho crossed tho room and pulled aside a curtain. “This ‘pourteor,’” said he, "stays If you want It The tenant didn’t take it away, nnd we throw It In. Now we’ll look at tho parlor.” “The parlor!” murmured Bransfield, putting bis hand to bls forehead. 1 He passed tho "pourteer” and entered a very cheery room as neat as tho other and exceedingly attractive. “Steam heat” said Jack, "and a nice grate If you like to use it Here’s a locker where you can keep a bit of soft | coni, or I’ll bring it up from' the cellar as you need It Either way will suit me.’’ "My young friend”— began Brans­ field sadly, but the sprightly janitor In­ terrupted him. “Telephone connections,” said he, touching some stubs of wire tbat pro­ truded from the wall. "Mdst gentle­ men want a telephone these days, but ot course, you don’t have to have It” Bransfield could not think of any­ body whom he should ever care to call up unless it might be the commissioner of public charity, yet he viewed the wires with a melancholy interest Jack darted a glance at him and mis­ took the symptoms. Hc compressed bis lips, hitched up bls trousers and doubled ids enthusiasm. “They may look a little bare with nothing In 'em,” said be, “but when you get all your stuff In here and fixed up nice—couches nnd luingings and pic­ tures and all that—I tell you it will look out of sight” Bransfield slowly shook bls bead. “Yes, it will,” persisted Jnck. “You ought to see Mr. Alien’s rooms. They’re just like these, only they’re at the back. Come on, he'll let you look nt 'em. He’ll be glad to. And then you’ll see what you can do with these.” "Couldn't think of It—Impossibleperfect stranger," protested Bransfield. But Jack was already in the hall. Bransfield ’00k a Inst regretful look at the elegant little sitting room which could never be his and made a linger­ ing and wistful exit. Immediately ho was aware of a big handsome fellow In a dinner coat who stood by an open door at tbe •'titer end”of the hall. “Wluit does he look like. Jack?” he demanded In a heavy, deep toned voice which lie had tried to suppress to a whisper. And then he caught sight of Bransfield In the broad light from tbe doorway. “Certainly," he cried. “De­ lighted. Come In, won’t you?’ The manner of this invitation was most flattering, Involving the Instant recognition which a gentleman values especially after three montlis of suehumiliations as attend the dreary proc­ ess of looking for a "Job." Bransfield permitted himself to be ushered into an apartment which was a man’s room nt the first glance, full of such things ns a fellow of spirit gathers nnd values, having the simplicity nnd directness of the old college style, with gleanings from tbe broader world harmoniously added. “Upon my word,” snld Allen, "this is too good to be true. You must under­ stand,” be added, “tbat I’m more or less ot a crank. I take strong likes nnd dislikes, nnd, renlly, If you could hnve seen your predecessor”— “He was pretty loud for fnir," snld Jack. “I always spoke well of him while he was here, but he was a whole band wagon; that's what he was.” Allen raised his right forefinger with nn almost Imperceptible gesture, which had nn Immediate and beneficial effect upon the too exuberant Janitor. "I think I heard tbe bell, sir,” said be. “I’ll be back in a Jiffy." “In one month," said Allen, closing the door, "we can train that boy up to the level of tbe Ideal. As for taking enre of the rooms, there never was bls equal, nnd bls cheerfulness is worth $10 off the rent. But he’s been spoiled.” And Allen frowned in the direction of the front rooms. “I am nfrald you may be disappoint­ ed In me us a neighbor," snld Brans­ field. “I am not Stealthy Foot, the hu­ man mouse.

Bransfield could not sum­ mon up courage to proceed with his story in the presence of so numerous an audience, and afterward when they hnd adjourned to the billiard room tbe • situation wns no better. lu tho course of the game which fol­ lowed Bransfield noticed that Allen ex­ hibited a certain uneasiness and that bo frequentij' glanced toward the door. The entrance of n tall, florid man of fifty years relieved the lenslon: obviouslj' it was he for whom Allen bad been waiting. Between shots Bransfield was intro­ duced, to Colonel Austin Miller, and in the next Interval Colonel Miller said: “Mr. Allen tells me that you were with the Farrell company.” “Yes,” said Bransfield; “yes.” Before lie could say more it was his turn to play. He ran half a dozen and marked them up. "Our young friend Informs me that you are about to make another conuectioa,” said Colonel Miller. A cold sweat broke out on Brans­ field's bock. He perceived that Allen had recommended him to Cr-lonel Mil­ ler nnd that hc ought to ray or do something to help the good work along. WhtiL oh, what? A miss by his opponent rescued him. but his own nerves were in such bad shape that he shot wide. “From what Mr. Allen tcMs me.” said Colonel Miller, “I think it might be worth while for you nnd me to have a talk before you make n decision.” “The fact is”— Bransfield begnn, and just then the other fellow miscued. “The fact is,” said Allen, but Brans­ field did not wait to hear what It was. When be finished his inning Colonel MlDer handed him a card. "If those other people are pressing you for nn answer," said he, "iveriiaps you’d better see me tomorrow fore­ noon—the Miller-Kirkwall company.” “Thank you," said Bransfield. “This Is really kind. You see, I”— “Your shot!" Interposed Allen In bls thundering bass. Bransfield studied the position, trying to steady bls nerves meanwhile. Then he missed by n long Inch. When he turned Colonel Miller hnd disappeared. “I sent him away," snld Alien. “I wen afraid you might thank him again. Why the deuce should you thank him? He's been having a confounded bard time to find a good man, ns I happen to know. Now he’s found one, and the tickets for the ice crcum soda are on him. They're not on j'ou, nnd don't you forget that tomorrow morning. I told him what the Farrell company paid you, and it didn’t frighten him a bit.” “How the deuce did you know what they paid me?" demanded Bransfield. "I imagined It. by jingo!" exclaimed Allen. “A hundred a week nnd com­ missions. Is tliat enough?” “Saints of paradise!" “Now, will you take those rooms?" “I may not land him,” Bia ns fluid begau. "Land him? I’ve landed him. Now lei's go home nud break the good news to Jack." 1 �HASTINGS HERALD, THURSDAY, APRIL 13, 1305. Good Health to the Children Children especially are fond of dainties, and the housekeeper must look carefully to their food. As good cake can be made only with good eggs, so also a cake that is health­ ful as well as dainty must be raised with a pure and perfect baking powder. Royal Baking Powder is indispensable in the preparation of the highest quality of food.

The Bkln of a horse, like that of oth­ er animals, is n mass of excretory organa, supplied with Innumerable pores, which, if kept open, a constant flow of watery fluid discharges. carry­ ing off the effete waste materia] which has performed its proper function In the maintenance of the body. The epidermis also is composed of an in­ finite number of glands which con­ stantly pour an oily secretion to the surface, which is essential to keeping the skin flexible as well as furnishing the necessary nourishment for the hair to keep it soft and glossy. It will not do, therefore, for these pores to get clogged, for in that case the skin would soon become dry. rough, hard and diseased, nor is there much danger of it except when the horse Is hard at work. Then the secretion of watery fluid Is heavier than wjien the animal Is Idle, and If the sweat is al­ lowed to dry on the skhi dust will ac­ cumulate, mixing with It, and If not cleaned off fill and clog the pores. As a result the skin will not only become diseased, but the whole system more or less deranged. The impurities, un­ able to escape through the skin, will accumulate iu different places nnd give rise to blisters, which, if neglected, may lead to blood poisoning or some­ thing else nearly ns bad. By regular, thorough grooming, how­ ever. nil this will be prevented, the pores kept open nnd a healthier, thriftier condition of the anlmnl main­ tained. A horse having a thick, tough skin will endure n tolerably sharp cur­ rycomb, which, used on another with a thin, tender skin, would be" a positive cruelty. Whatever accumulations of dirt may be on the hair after the use of the currycomb a Biorough cleaning out of the skin should follow by the aid of n good brush. For Paralysis In Flora.

The election being over it has sug­ gested itself to the Hastings Herald that a good point can be scored for the city by dropping local politics and all working for the common good. Among the needs of Hastings are enumerated, more factories, a public library, a wellappointed opera house and paved streets, which it Is believed can be had if the citizens will quit jangling and get behind the board of trade and nusb. The Herald is “eminently correct.” Local politics, while the pot bolls, sends forth a cloud of steam and hot ashes as the foam rushes over into the fire, and such is its importance for the time being that were the "second com­ ing" announced, in the midst of it, poli­ ticians would wig-wag to the skies: “Stop the procession! To win is heaven. To lose is—’’! But when it is past, the votes counted and the ecstacy of tri­ umph or gripe of defeat is over, men look at each other sheepishly, grin, shake hands and admit that “we were all a pack of durn fools." Let Hast­ ings get together and agree with her­ self. She needs not little here below but ne'eds that little now.

It means a good deal of work to unroll the heavy cable from the big cylinders on which it is wound like thread on a spool, raise it on the poles and fasten it. securely to the heavy wire from which it is suspended. But did you ever realize that this cable represents a great deal of careful work before it is put up? An examination of a section of it reveals this fact. Within the leaden tube there is a solid rope of fine, coppers wires, from one hundred to two hundred in number, arranged in pairs. These wires are not allowed to touch ^ach other at any point, but are carefully wrapped In thin paper. This is to insulate them from each oth­ er. Then, in order to prevent induced currents, they are not laid parallel to each other but are given a slight spiral direction, one layer being twisted slightly to the right and the next to the left.

HASTINGS HERHLD C. F. FIELD. Editor and Proprietor. The Difference. for governor and lieutenant governor by a primary election. It does not re­ quire all parties to adopt this plan but leaves it optional for any party to fol­ low the present method if it so wishes. Furthermore, the bill provides for u local optional adoption of direct nomi­ nations for the offices of state senators and representatives, congressmen, judges and county officials, whenever the election unit for these various of­ fices may decide in favor of direct nom­ inations. It is evident that this bill, while of­ fering some degree of direct nomina­ tion, falls very far short of the ideal primary reform principle, as advocated by the democratic party last fall. If the measure becomes a lew, it will hardly prove satisfactory to the people of the state. It is, in fact, a mere po­ litical makeshift, to help the politicians at Lansing out of a dilemma. They bad to do something to pacify public sentiment and so they passed the IvoryDouble-Dickinson bill. It is doubtful whether the measure runs the gauntlet of the senate, with­ out at least being materially changed. In fact there are members of the house who, although they voted for tbe bill, are now expressing grave doubts as to its constitutionality. Fred Maus, of Kalamazoo, son of Su­ pervisor Maus, started for New Mexico Tuesday. He goes for the purpose of taking up some government land in the Pecos valley, and will be gone sev­ eral weeks. The Misses Ermina Goodyear and Katherine VanValkenburgh, and Mor­ timer Nichols, Don Smith, Rex Rich­ ardson, Edward Goodyear and Frank Jones are home from the university for the spring vacation. Jo. Long, a traveling man for a cigar firm hailing from Newark, Ohio, got hilariously drunk Monday and was When in custody by tbe authorities. He was token before Justice Riker the □ext morning, plead guilty and paid lheilneand costs which amounted to •10.50. Mrs. Fred Hughes of Kalamazoo was the guest of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. A. A. Willmont, from Thursday till Monday. By the way, her husband has just accepted a position in the Citi­ zens’ National bank at Kalamazoo, en­ tering upon his new duties Monday morning. It will be well for fishermen to bear in mind that tbe law permitting the spearing of "net" suckers In Wall lake has been repealed. It seems that spearing parties have taken advantage of the law to spear other kinds of fish besides suckers. Hence the law has beeu repealed. For several years the St. Agnes guildlsoclety connected with Emmanuel parish have been working to raise a fund with which to purchase a| pulpit for the church, At last they have suc­ ceeded in their object, and have ordered a handsome pulpit of braes and oak, which it is hoped will arrive thia week. The Herald is in receipt of a letter from Miss Bertha Bentley who is teach­ ing at Cheney, Washington. She says: “I am hoping to return to Hastings this summer and see tbe wonderful progress of iny old hometown." Tbe letter was dated at Walla Walla, where she was working In an institute that week. "This,” she says, “is one of the oldest, if not tbe oldest, town in Wash­ ington, and a wonderfully interesting place it is. Il reminds me more of Michigan than anything I have seen since I came west.” The following letters remain uncalled for in this office and will be sent to the dead letter office at Washington, D.C., if hot called for before May 1: Mrs. Margaret Tracy, Mrs. J. R. Smith, Mrs. Ben B. Bonman, Mrs. Mary L. Robinson, Miss Nettle Turner, Miss Emma Scloat, Wm. Conycr, J. P. Hall, Chas. Fuller, Fred Lelnzner, E. MI111den, Chas. Austin, Pressed Brick Co., L. Kane.

Robert B. Dawson Opens Law Office. Attorney Robert B. Dawsun has opened a suite of law offices over Hams & Russ' store and is now ready to re­ ceive his clients in very pleasant quar­ ters. Mr. Dawson, though but recent­ ly a graduate of the law department at Ann Aibor, having finished his course only lust June, has already come prom­ inently before the public end is u ris­ ing young lawyer. He Is a graduate of the literary department of the univer­ sity as well. He has met with such degree of success so far that he has de­ cided to locate permanently in his home town, and we doubt not he will build up a successful business here. Mr. Dawson has been in Thos. Sulli­ van’s office for the past seven or eight months. W. H. Sweezey will occupy the same rooms with Mr. Dawson. ____________________ ______________ —---- - Good printing and reasonable prices tell why the Herald is doing lots of job work.

RATE HAS DOUBLED SINCE 1860 Say Strain Due to Modem Hurry* •hurry in the Big City Brings on Condition* That Serve to Shorten Men’s Lives. New York, April 17.—In the last three months the number of sudden deaths In the borough of Manhattan have been much larger than in any similar period In the history of the city. In the last eighteen months a cor­ responding increase bas been noted. A large proportion of this increase may be traced directly to heart af­ fections and other diseases growing out of the tense life we are leading. Dr. Henry P. Loomis says of the heart and allied diseases: '‘Increase, increase, nothing but In­ crease in the percentage of mortality year by year. In I860 the death rate was only 13ft per cent, and in 1904 27 per cent. I believe the figures thia year maintain this ratio of Increase. Live Too Fast "There can be no question," con­ tinued Dr. Loomis, "that the hurry­ dhurry of modern life in this city la re­ sponsible for this unfortunate state of affairs. Life is lived too fast. Men eat too fast, work too hard, play too hard. All this Involves strain. Nerv­ ous strain in time Involves heart or other organic trouble. Then the vic­ tim falls dead ” While the Increase In the rate of sudden deaths began some eighteen months ago It was not until within the last month that special attention was directed to IL The authorities regarded it as mere­ ly a passing wave that would pass In good time,'and that the figures would regain the normal sooner or later. They did not regain tbe normal; in­ stead they Increased month by month. Look Into Conditions. "In tbe last few months," said Cor­ oner's Physician Albert T. Weston, "the matter was brought more closely to our attention through the fact that we were working morning and night on cases of sudden death. Then it was we began to look Into conditions, and nt last decided that the Increase sim­ ply was the logical and natural result ot present day life in this city. In 1904 there were more than 8,000 cases of men falling dead or dying hardly less suddenly from heart failure and such diseases. This is 500 more cases of the kind than were noted In any other year. In the months of January, February and March there were 1,700 cases to which our atten­ tion was called, and this far exceeds the figures for a similar period of any previous year. • Overwork Their Hearts. “Persons are in tou great a hurry. They live to fast This fact need not be deduced entirely from sudden deaths from unnatural causes. Acci­ dent, suicide, even murder results from the present tenseness of life. “It is necessary for scientists to point out the fact that the present day life in this city is a killing one.” said Dr. Edward S. Spitzka. "Th* facts are perfectly patent to the veri­ est layman. Men drop dead nowadays whose hearts, under ordinary condi­ tions, were good enough to last 100 years. Mind you, I do not say they are perfect, but they are good enough for al! practical purposes. Victim* of Hurry. “But what do they do? “Hurry home, eat their meals so swiftly that the food is but half mas­ ticated, washed down by a glass or several glasses of water, then go out. Something happens to excite them or arouse other deep emotions and then —crack goes the heart. They fall dead. Men die that way, men with nothing radically wrong with their hearts that we can discover, victims of hurry. Indigestion, nervous excitement and shock. “The heart is prone to shocks and th* times certainly supply them.” Dleeaae I* New Yorkiti*. Dr. John H. Glrdner feels as though the mantle of a prophet fell on bis shoulders when he wrote his book. “New Yorkltis," some years ago. Many baleful predictions therein con­ tained are now in process of verifica­ tion. Dr. Glrdner declares the in­ crease of sudden deaths in this city in the last few months struck him as being nothing short of phenomenal. “New York," says Dr. Glrdner, “at the present time is not reproducing itself. We are living swiftly, dying swiftly. Were it not for the Influx from out of town the decrease in pop­ ulation would soon be noted. But as it is, for one New Yorker that dies two strangers take up abode in the city, and thus the loss is not noted. “New Yorkers are driving them­ selves and are being driven like beasts of burden. They are working like dynamos all day, playing like Idiots at night.” COUPLE DIE TOGETHER RATHER THAN SEPARATE Vaudeville Singer, Afflicted With Heart Disease, and Her Husband Carry Out Compact to End Their Live*. Philadelphia, Pa., April 17.—Har­ assed by the constant attacks of heart disease, which threatened her death at any moment, Mabel Heck, a wellknown singer In vaudeville, and Louis Heck, musical director of Keith's Chestnut Street theater, agreed to end their lives. They were found dead, the victims of asphyxiation. Heck agreed to accompany his wife in death rather than live without her. His body was found in a kneeling po­ sition, with his head burled in bls wife’s lap. Altbrugh they left no note to tell of their suicidal pact, Mrs. Lucy Tus­ tin, the landlady, declares that they have both been despondent for some time over Mrs. Heck’s falling health, and many times the popular young singer has told her that she would welcome death. Mrs. Heck’s physician told her that death could not long be held at bay. When Heck was told of this he lost interest In his work, and the carrying out of the death pact was the culmina­ tion. Strangely enough, the double sui­ cide was revealed by the arrival of Mrs. Heck's father, T. W. Eckert and her stepmother, who are actors, from New York for dinner. They had sent a telegram to the Hecks telling them that they would arrive in tim* for din­ ner. LATEST CASH MARKET REPORTS CHICAGO BOARD OF TRADE.

Muskegon, Mich., April 17.—A fam­ ily feud dating back forty years and a courtship and attempted elopement culminated in a duel Sunday in which Clinton McGann, aged 65, was killed, and his son, Clinton. Jr., wounded by a bullet from his father’s rifle. Tbe tragedy took place at Walkerville, a trading station thirty miles north of here. The two sons of McGann have been keeping company with two school teachers, and the courtship was op­ posed by the father, who threatened to kill the sons If they persisted. Another factor also enters into the case. Dennis McGann, brother of the dead man live* on an adjoining farm, and for two years the two families have been at outs over a line fence dispute. Several times guns have been displayed and fatalities averted only after several shots had been fired. Father Opens Fir*. Saturday night the two sons decided to run away and elope with the school teacher*. The uncle of tbe boys gave them money and the rig. As they were going out of their uncle’s yard, prepared to run away, the father saw them. He went back in the house, got a rifle and opened fire on the two boys. The horse toppled over dead in Its tracks. The two sons opened fire on their father with revolvers. The firing aroused Dennis McGann, the uncle, and he appeared on the scene armed. The firing continued and tbe father fell mortally wounded across a large stone which he had dragged up for a barrier. His body was borne to the house and Sheriff Giddings of Oceana county summoned. Dennis McGann, brother of the dead man, is In custody of the sheriff. Tbe two sons have not beeen apprehended. It Is alleged that the dead man once shot a fellow worker on the log booms at Pine Lake, Mich. DAMAGE TO FRUIT IN INDIANA Cold Wave and Heaviest Snow of th* Year Reported at Jeffersonville.

Fight Is Near. FLEETS NEARING EACH OTHER St. Petersburg Believes Admiral Togo, Taken by Surprise When Enemy's Squadron Appeared, Is Getting His Ships Together. London, April 17.—A dispatch to the Daily Mall from Hongkong says a small naval engagement between the Russians and Japanese Is reported. No details are ‘given. It is considered pos­ sible that the scout ships of the two Teets may have encountered each oth­ er and that a running fight followed. There are several reports of tbe whereabouts of the Russian fleet. According to a dispatch from Singa­ pore. the North German Lloyd steam­ ship Prinz Heinrich last Friday sight­ ed five battleships and six cruisers in Kamranh bay, a French harbor on the Coast of Cochin China, 200 miles north­ west of Saigon. Course la Changed. The Dally Telegraph's Singapore dispatches quote the commander of the Prinz Heinrich as reporting eight­ een Russian ships at Kamranh bay, and he admitted that possibly more warships were inside the harbor, in­ visible from the offing. If Admiral Rojestvensky's fleet Is coaling In Kamranh bay there seems little probability of an engagement for some daya. It Is evident also that the admiral has not continued the course on which he was sailing, on April 11, otherwise he would have been 350 miles north of Hongkong, in­ stead of 600 miles south of that port. Torpedo Boat Near Hongkong. The British steamer Lincolnshire reports that a Russian torpedo boat has been scouting outside Hongkong, looking four si earners with cargoes of Card T ?se colliers arrived at London ■ lay, but the crews re­ fuse to proceed urther with them. The presence of the Russian squad­ ron off the Annam coast is raising keen Interest here, in view of the pos­ sibility of their infringing Chinese neutrality and of the likelihood of Rojestvensky's having had to split his squadron. The Morning Post’s correspondent at Shanghai telegraphs that China has Instructed tho governors of tbe south­ ern provinces to maintain strict neu­ trality In view of the possibility of Russian ships sheltering there. Japan Sees Battle Near. Tokio. Apll 17.—The navy depart­ ment has proclaimed defense zones surrounding the Pescadores, the island of Okinawa, in the Eoochoo group, and the islands of Oshiml and Eml, off the province of Osuml. The usual navigation restrictions apply. It Is understood that the transmis­ sion of cable dispatches from Japan soon will be suspended, owing to the approach of the Baltic fleet Nothing authentic concerning the Russian vessels has been heard since April 11. It is believed Admiral Togo Is kept well Informed of their move­ ments by his cruisers and picket boats, which are scouting in every direction. Russia Expects Fight To-day. St. Petersburg. April 17.—There no Information from Vice Admiral Rojcstvensky's squadron, but the ad­ miralty would not be surprised to learn of skirmishing between scout ships to-day or to-morrow, and the In­ auguration of torpedo boat warfare soon Is not unexpected. The naval organ here expresses the opinion that Togo was taken completely by surprise when Rojeslvensky suddenly appeared at the entrance of the China sea, and is now concentrating his widely scat­ tered fleet near the Pescadores, where it Is believed a sea fight probably will occur. It Is pointed out. however, that the chips sighted In Kamranh bay may have been colliers and transports from which Rojestvensky had taken what he wanted, nnd proceeded north with his fighting ships. INDIANA LAWS ARE EFFECTIVE. Governor Hanly Proclaims Statutes Passed by the Legislature. Indianapolis, Ind., April 17.—Gov­ ernor J. Frank Hanly has Issued a proclamation declaring effective all laws passed by the last-general as­ sembly.

Regular Meeting State Board of Health. The regular meeting of the state board of health was held in the secre­ tary's office, Lansing. April 14, 1905. The members present were: Dr. Victor D. Vaughn, president, Hon. Henry A. Haigb, Charles M. Ranger. Hon. Cole­ man C. Vaughn, Dr. Angus McLean, Dr. Malcolm C. Sinclair and Dr. Frank W. Shumway, secretary. After auditing the bills and the dis­ posal of other routine work Dr. Vaughn, the president, addressed tbe board briefly and suggested certain lines of work t hat might properly be considered by the board. He urged the advisabil­ ity of this board putting forth every |>ossible effort to secure legislation pro­ viding for a state sanatorium for con­ sumptives and in this connection Dr. Vaughn also mentioned tho importance of collecting reliable statistics on the geographical and class distribution of the disease which would be of great assistance in ascertaining important facts on the prevalence of consumption. Such statistics would also enable this board to work Intelligently for the re­ striction of this disease and in securing legislation providing for a state sana­ torium. Many of the states have such institutions, notably among those men­ tioned being Massachusetts, New York, Pepnsylvania, Ohio; New Jersey, while many other states have bills before their state legislatures providing for similar institutions. Dr. Vaughn sug­ gested that a feature of the work of this board for the next two years be the special study of tuberculosis, and to ascertain if the prevalence of this dis­ ease io Michigan is increasing or de­ creasing. The work of this board for the re­ striction and prevention of pneumonia was considered of great importance and should be continued as deaths from this disease are rapidly increasing and ite cause and means of spread are prob­ lems that the board might properly consider. Doctor Vaughan also mentioned the Important line of work carried on through the distribution of tbe Teach­ ers' Sanitary Bulletins and the good results that have been accomplished through this work of the board. He suggested that very careful attention be given the subject matter appearing in these bulletins and that this publi­ cation be made the official publication of this board. . The board arranged the details for holding the annual conference of health officials June 1 and 2, bl the state labo­ ratory of hygiene at. Ann Arbor. The president nnd secretary were appoint­ ed a committeo to arrange a program for this conferonce and the secretary was instructed co send announcement and program of this meeting to every local health officer in the state nod others interested in public health work in an endeavor to have an enthusiastic and profitable meeting. This meeting being the annual meet­ ing nf the board and the time for elec­ tion of president, Dr. Vaugbo, who had been elected as president nt the regu­ lar meeting of the board January 20, to All vacancy caused by the death of Hon. Frank Wells was unanimously re-elect­ ed president of tbe board for the ensuiog two years. Doctor Vaughn thanked the board for the honor conferred upon him after which tbe board adjourned.

Interesting Letter From a Hastings Man Who Is In the Midst or the Excitement. Mead-Little. A very pretty wedding was solem­ nized at the home of Mr. and Mrs. W. P. Little of southeast Hastings April 24 at 8:00 p. m., when their only daugh­ ter Belva was united in marriage to James J. Mead of this city. Promptly at the hour named tho bridal party met in tho north parlor and proceeded to the south parlor where the ceremony was performed by Rev. B. F. Fritz, D. D., who in a very impressive manner pronounced the words which made ,their man and wife. The bride was becomingly attired in ( dainty gown of white chiffon and car­ a ;ried white roses. She was attended b; ;Miss Gertrude McPbarlin who was j pretty in a gown of blue silk mull; she ,carried a bouquet of carnations. The (groom wore conventional black and was attended by Mr. Leo Tatfee of this icity. After the ceremony dainty refresh­ ments were served in the dining room, <carnations and smliax being the deco­ rations. The same evening tho newly wedded couple left for their home on Grand street, which Mr. Mead bad ready for the reception of his bride, who Is well and favorably Known, having lived in our city since early childhood. Mr. Mead, who for the past year has been in the employ of Wright Bros., is an energetic young man of excellent reputation, and many friends, who be­ speak for tho young couple a happy future. Reginn, Canada, ) April 11, 1005. J Dear----- , We have stopped traveling, for the time at least. Wo have traveled nearly 2300 miles. Will stay here a day or two, then go on northwest to Claresholm, Calgary and Edmonton, which is about BOO miles from here, and means all the good land that people are flocking to get possession of. Talk about people! Every nation on the globe is represented here—and ex­ citement-well, I have been in several different localities during booms, but I never saw such excitement as there is here. Every passenger train is made up of 12 to 15 coaches, and is crowded to its utmost capacity. And day after day freights roll in loaded with home­ seekers bringing their horses, cattle, household furniture and their all. Not one-half of them have filed on land, and many arrive with no money and simply unload their stock and goods on the wild prairie, pitch a tent on the cold damp open and prepare to * 'house" their families—all tired out with many days’ travel, and in some cases sick. Those with money may go to a very poor hotel, which in rates, considering the rooms and service, will exceed those of tho Waldorf-Astoria. x It Is appalling to see so many people selling their homes in the States, and taking their all go to a new and wild country to live under a strange flag. One would think they expect to find some benefl co nt.person age with a great roll of deeds awaiting their coming to grant them a fine farm with crops growing, and with no trouble or incon­ venience to themselves. But there is no one to help the new comer. On the contrary—they will bear down on him, tread on him, lie to him, and steal that which he bos. Not that there are worse people here than elsewhere, but they arc here, the most, of them with­ out means to return if they so desire, and so of necessity, they adopt the motto "God helps those who help them­ eelves," and wade in. And how they do go after it! And there is a lot to go after too, that is well worth getting for those who can pay the price in time, nerve and patience. There is a vast amount of govern­ ment land that may be bad for filing on, but like everywhere else, there is tho good and tho poor, and it pays to go slowly and not to take the first thing in sight. Then there is first-class rail­ road land that can be bought very reasonably. One man of my acquaint­ ance, bought a section last fall at H.00 per acre and last week sold it at 812.00 which goes to show how rapidly land is increasing in value. A man with some capital can, by careful investment, suc­ ceed very nicely, but it is a poor place for a man without money, as there Is no work for common labor. And to take up a homestead one should have enough to keep himself a year at least. Still, even here, there are people who are looking for a clean shave, and I was offered this morning, a job in a barber shop at S15 per week. But I haven't seen enough yet and shall soon push on. Good bones are in great demand here and hard to get. They bring from 50 to 75 per cent, more here than In Michigan. City lots are higher here than in Hastings although the town is not so large. There were five of us fellows who left Hastings the first part of April. Three of them turned back yesterday, and another starts today. They, could see nothing but the dark side uf life here; I guess they must be too far from home. Some get discouraged be­ fore they get here and are ready to turn back as soon as they get off the train. So far, I like it here quite well, and expect to make some kind of a hit be­ fore I leave the country. We shall go up into the Alberta country in a few days. C. E. Olmstead. Per R.

Year GIVEN LEAVE OF ABSENCE. Rev. and Mrs. Howard VanAuken to Take Trip to Philippines. Rev. Howard VanAuken, son of Rev. and Mrs. H. H. VanAuken, who a year or so ago accepted a pastorate at Key West, tendered bis resignation a short time ago in order that be might come north to pursue bis education further at some of the great institutions of learning of the middin west. His con­ gregation however would not hear of relinquishing their bold on him en­ tirely but voted instead to give him a leave of absence, an eloquent testi­ mony of their esteem and appreciation of Rev. VanAuken and bis wife, who was a Middleville girl. Rev. and Mrs. VanAuken have also been invited by the captain of an ocean steamship to go as his guests on a trip to the Philippines and thence to New Y’ork City. They will probably accept this very tempting invitation. The negotiations which Mr. Will Thomas has been carrying on for sev­ eral months to obtain a suitable site for the erection - of ao opera house block, and which were announced ex­ clusively in the Herald of Jan. 10 last as In progress, have been complet­ ed, resulting in the purchase by Mr. Thomas of the property belonging to the Burton estate on State street at the corner of Michigan avenue. This property consists of a frontage of 88 feet on State street and an "L" shaped piece running back of the Journal of­ fice and Garrett’s store. The consid­ eration was 15000.

Kidney trouble often ends fatally, but by choosing the right, medicine E. H. Wolfe of Bear Grove, Iowa, cheated death. He bays: “Two years ago 1 had kidney trouble which caused me great pain, suffering and anxiety, but I took Electric Bitters, which effected a complete cure. I have also found them of great benefit in general debility aud nerve trouble, and keep them constant­ ly on hand since, as I find they have no equal.” W. H Goodyear, druggist, guarantees them at 50e. Washington, D. C., April 22, 1905. The president has made some ex­ tremely unfortunate appointments re­ cently. That some few unworthy ones will secure recognition among the great number of selections which a president is compelled to make is in­ evitable, but when such accidents hap­ pen in the selection of men for life po­ sitions on the federal bench It is an oc­ casion of regret for everyone interested in the welfare of tho nation. Tak ing the appointees of President Roosevelt as ahclass and they are so much above the average that it is onlyfair to assume that be means to confer public office only on men worthy of prefer* men, but if that be his Intention he is badly Imposed upon and he should take heed and never agaia llstentothe rec­ ommendations of the men responsible for his mistakes. That he does listen to] men whom be knowshave tried to foist upon him and upon the public service unworthy officials is probably the] reason for his mistakes. The latest appointment made by the president is that of Ex-Governor At­ kinson of West Virginia to the vacancy on the Court of Claims caused by the death of Judge Weldon. The general comment of those who know Mr. At­ kinson, the place to which he has been appointed, and who are willing to speak frankly, is that he is “a cheap man for a highly responsible position.” Those who know politics and who seek the reason for the president’s being misled in this instance will find the cause without trouble. Mr. Atkinson was endorsed by the two senators from West Virginia. In fact, It is generally believed, that Mr. Atkinson owes this endorsement to the fact that he with­ drew from the last senatorial contest In his state io favor of Senator Scott who desired to return to the senate for which he is so illy fitted. Of course the senate could reject Mr. Atkinson. The power to confirm him lies with the senate alone, but there are no charges to be preferred against the ex-governor. He Is an honest man so far as anybody knows, and for the senate to refuse to confirm him would doubtless place an unjust stigma upon him. As to bls unfitness, witness the following: The judicial position to which President Roosevelt has appoint­ ed him is one that calls for the most expert judicial skjl], comprenenslve knowledge of the law and a fine ability to weigh legal propositions. Mr. At­ kinson began life teaching school which he abandoned to qualify for the Metho­ dist ministry. Since then he has been connected with several newspapers and has held public office almost contin­ uously. Not more than eight year* have been devoted to the study of law in the ex-governor’s career since he graduated, with considerable honor, from Howard University Law School about 1872. In a word, it is not because he possesses a record or any particular disabilities, which would debar him from the bench, but because he lacks those qualities, especially experience, which every prominent member of the judiciary should possess. Another instance of President Roose­ velt’s being misled in regard to the character of a man he appointed to the bench Is that of Judge Wickersham of Alaska. Judge Wickersham'has been attacked in the senate, not on personal grounds but because there are certain things in bis record which seem to demonstrate his unfitness for the posi­ tion to which the president has appoint­ ed him. The senate has thus far failed to confirm Judge Wickersham and be will be compelled to come to Washing­ ton and answer charges before the sen­ ate judiciary committee next fall. If he is unable satisfactorily to refute these charges he will not be confirmed at all, although be will have served a considerable time under the recess ap­ pointment. • Still another instance of an unfortu­ nate appointment, although one of less importance, has recently come to light. For some unexplained leason the presi­ dent has conferred a consul-general­ ship on a newspaperman utterly unfit for the place. The American consulate in a section far from a United States embassy or legation should be a source of refuge and comfort, to Americans traveling abroad, but such is certain not to be the case with the consulate to which this man has been appointed. He is not only not the “right sort” of man to hold such an office, but he Is addicted to the abuse of liquor and all who know him confidently expect that he will prove a source of annoyance and mortification to all Americans who have occasion to transact business with his office, or to visit the city to which be is appointed. . As already indicated, these errors of judgment or mistakes in character are the result of the president's listening to the recommendations of men whom he knows to be guided by any impulse rather than the proper ones, the credit of their country and their party. For instance he still appoints men on the recommendation of Senator Platt of New York although in one instance throe of the most prominent members of the senate were compelled to go to the White House and make represen­ tations regarding a man appointed to a high office on Platt’s recommendation, which resulted in the president’s Im­ mediately witbdrawingthe nomination. In another instance, the president promised to appoint a man to an im­ portant position in Washington on Platt’s urging. Prominent members of the senate went to the White House and told the president the man could nnt be trusted. The, president was compelled to break his promise and yet the president has this spring appointed this man to an important consular po­ sition. It must be admitted that in the main the president’s appointments are fit men, but that he will occasionally make grievous errors as long as be heeds the urging of politicians who have demonstrated their irresponsibil­ ity and their willingness to recommend men who are certain to bring discredit on his administration cannot be doubt­ ed.

About Rheumatism. There are few diseases that inflict more torture than rheumatism and there is probably no disease for which such a varied and useless lot of rem­ edies have been suggested. To say that it can be cured is, therefore, a bold statement to make, but Chamber­ lain’s Pain Balm, which enjoys an ex­ tensive sale, has met with great success in the treatment of this disease. One application of Pain Balm will relieve the pain, and hundreds of sufferers have testified to permanent cures by its use. Why suffer when Paiu Balm affords such quick relief aud costs but a trifle?

It cannot be doubted, therefore, that if the present investigation is thorough, fair and impartial it will enabla the senate to dispose of the matter in a manner best calculated to advance the welfare of the whole country, and if such prove to be the outcome, the slow­ ness and deliberation of the upper house may prove in the end adequate compensation for the delay in carry­ ing out tbe desired reform.

Manila, April 24.—Vice Admiral Togo.’s main fleet will assemble south Formosa on April 26. Three warships are now off Corregldor island. It is supposed here that they are Japanese vessels. The Jap­ anese consul here has received a long cipher message concerning Kamlmura's squadron. The consul says the ahipa win not enter Manila harbor, but will cruise outside. ol CANNONADING AT SEA. Saigon, April 24.—Following the de­ Parture of the entire Russian fleet from Kamranh bay Saturday, heavy cannonading was heard at sea. It is supposed Admiral Rojestvensky'a squadron was engaged with some of the Japanese warskips. It is believed here that the Russian commander encountered one or more of Togo’s scouts and that the prelim­ inary round in the great sen fight which is impending was the result The report that Admiral Togo will assemble his fleet south of the Islsnd of Formosa on April 26 is interpreted to mean that the decisive action will be in that vicinity and that it cannot be postponed long. RojMtvefMky Is III. A resident who has been trading with the Russian fleet says there were twenty warships and thirty-six transports in Kamranh bay. It is ex­ pected the fleet will leave the Annam coast on April 27, Admiral NebogatofTs squadron joining it before It de­ parts. The Russian trans’^’‘T—Kiel, Jupi­ ter, Knlas, Gortschakoff and Kltai— are still at Saigon. Vice Admiral Rojestvensky Is suffer­ ing from dysentery, but otherwise the officers and men of the fleet left here in the best of health. No Russian of­ ficer or sailor landed in Kamranh bay, as they had expected Nebogatoff’s detachment of the squadron to arrive at any moment The Russian admiral, previous to his departure, called on Admiral Jonquleres. Tbe meeting of the admirals was most cordial. The natives were highly pleased ■with the great rise in the price of pro­ visions owing to the Russians’ visit UNJUST TO RUSSIA. Paris, April 24.—Some of the news­ papers of Paris, commenting upon the expulsion of the Russian second Pa­ cific squadron from French territory waters in Indo China, hold that France, In seeking to render exact justice to Japan, ’ t unjust to Russia. The Baris, which is strong­ ly pre says France's insist­ ence non Rojestvensky’s leaving Kamranh bay will hav*' the effect of making him an easy p; iy to Togo, as the Russian ships, being driven from all points without being able to take on coal, must put to sea with half-filled bunkers, being thus crippled at the moment of meeting the enemy. "And this is neutrality!" scornfully observe* the Echo de Paris. Coal to Next Port. The same paper quotes the French regulations authorizing belligerent* to take on sufficient coal to reach the next port, and maintains that the "next port" is Vladivostok. Therefore. It asserts, France has not given her ally’s squadron the benefit of French neutrality laws. The Temps criticises tbe Saigon re­ port that Russian merchant vessels have been forbidden to take on the necessary coal to enable them to reach tbe nearest Russian port. The paper maintains that the ships have the right to take on sufficient coal to last them to Vladivostok, which is the nearest Russian port The Temps adds: Hurt* European Nation*. "Insular power* having many coal­ ing stations have an interest in mak­ ing neutrality rules extremely strict in order to prevent their adversaries from procuring coal through neutrals, while they enjoy full supplies from their own coaling stations. On the contrary, continental powers—France, Russia, and Germany—having compar­ atively few coaling stations, would be easily throttled In a conflict with an insular power having many coaling stations in case this rigid rule of neu­ trality becomes accepted by prece­ dence." TORNADO HITS WESTERN TEXAS Blow* Church Off Its Foundations and - Doe* Other Damage. Fort Worth, Tex, April 24.—A tor­ nado passed over west Texas Sunday and did much damage, but no lives are reported to have been lost At Snyder the Methodist church was blown off its foundation. Several residences were unroofed and windmills badly dam­ aged. The tornado waa blowing north­ east. It struck Guthrie, In King coun­ ty, several hundred miles northeast of here, wrecking the courthouse and de­ stroying two residences. County Judge Jlght had a narrow escape in the courthouse. Joe Duren, son of the county clerk, was injured. Madison. WIs., April 24.—To-night at & o'clock both houses of the legis­ lature begin the last lap of the ses­ sion of 1905. There doubtless will be Saturday sessions from now until ad­ journment, which, it is said, tbe lead­ ers have tentatively determined shall be May 18. The present week in the assembly will amount to much leas in volume of work and Intensity of public interest than in the senate. The first Interesting event in the lower house will be the final vote on the Thayer residence option bill to-mor­ row morning, when the measure so strenuously opposed by the brewers of the state will come up for final passage or killing. It was advanced to third reading and engrossment last week by the close vote of 42 to 40, eighteen members being absent and not voting. Consequently the result of the final vote is In doubt. This measure proposes to give to a majority of the residents ot any par­ ticular district of a city not a busi­ ness district the right to make manda­ tory upon the common council of the city the refusal of a saloon license In that district The brewers look upon it as a menace to their interests and are working hard against it. They are -onfident that even should it pass the lower house it will fall in the sen­ ate. Its author Is I. L. Thayer of Bloomer, Chippewa county, the one clergyman having a seat in the pres­ ent Wisconsin legislature. The aggressiveness with which the friends of this bill are pushing the measure has given rise to a rumor that "personal liberty” will be made an issue in the next state campaign and that there is likelihood of another "Bennett law era" in Wisconsin Re­ publican party history.

STORM STRIKES THE FAR WEST Rain and Snow Stop Communication With tue Coast Denver, Col., April 24.—According to reports received, a heavy storm of rain and snow has practically stopped telegraphic communication to the Pa­ cific coast The storm reaches from Arizona to Montana. In Colorado, after raining for twenty-four hours continuously, it began to snow, and in some sections a blizzard is raging. No reports of the storm's effect on rail­ road traffic had been received, but serious interference with the opera­ tion of trains, It is believed, must have resulted.

ONLY YOU AND 1. GENEVIEVE M. CANMCtt, Politicians In Western Part of Commonwealth Favor Division. LEGISLATURE NEEDS DIFFER Claim Philadelphia Practically Con­ trols the Lew-Making Power, With­ out Regard for the Interests of Other Sections. Pittsburg, Pa., April 24.—Agitation is on here now for a new state. Loud calls have been sent out for the forma­ tion of the "state of Allegheny" from the twenty-three Pennsylvania coun­ ties west of the crest of the Allegheny mountains. The Pittsburg Leader, the organ of the western Pennsylvania Republican leaders, prints a three-col­ umn story advocating the move. In part the Leader says: “There is a natural division, a trade division and a division in that community of inter­ est that ought to exist in every state that separates Pennsylvania, and the line of it Is the watershed of the Alle­ gheny mountains. On one side the water flows into the Atlantic ocean and on the other into the Gulf of Mex­ ico. Bays Division Is Natural. “Whether trade always follows the water as it is said to follow the flag, it is nevertheless a fact that It does in Pennsylvania. East of tbe Alle­ ghenies the business metropolis is Philadelphia and trade from that sec­ tion of tho state goes there. West of the mountains it converges with the streams that drain as rich a region as there Is on earth at Pittsburg. Hence the great mountain range that crosses the state not only divides it topograph­ ically and geographically, but also rears itself as a wail between two dif­ ferent peoples, widely separated in trade and commerce and radically dif­ ferent in governmental and legislative needs.** Balk at Philadelphia. That the western end of the state is disgruntled at Philadelphia and the eastern end ot the state and longs to break away is shown further down in thte inspired article, which reads: "Ses­ sions of the legislature, presumably held In the interest of the whole state, are degenerating into what might be called municipal councils for the ben­ efit of Philadelphia. Once, and per­ haps today, Paris was France. Soon Philadelphia*will be Pennsylvania. It was brought nearer that goal by the session recently closed, and the legis­ lative history of the last twenty years shows each succeeding session has been lanrely devoted to the aggrand­ izement of the chief city at the ex­ pense of the rest of the state, particu­ larly that part of it lying west of the Alleghenies. Question of Morality. "The political question Is fast being eliminated from the government of Pennsylvania. It is becoming a moral question. The big social ulcer on the eastern border is eating into the vi­ tals of the state. There lies the strength of government by boss; from there spread* the corruption of the ballot and intrenched there are the forces that are most threatening to the moral well-being of the state. Thinking men know that a radical remedy Is needed for this evil, and some say, so far as western Pennsyl­ vania is concerned, there is no bet­ ter remedy than the knife. Slice tbe state in two and give to that part of it that profits by tbe corruption th* ulcer. Outline of New State. "On the proposed division of tbe state, following, as suggested, the watershed cf the Alleghany moun­ tains, the counties of Blair, Clearfield, Cameron and Potter would be divided. That would be one objection to tak­ ing the watershed as the line. But in these counties, as in the state, there is a division of interest between people east and went of the dividing ridge. The people living on the west side would probably want to cast their lot with the new state. "Tbe population of the new state would approximately be 2,100,000, under the 1900 census, and in that it would rank with the state of Ken­ tucky. Bnt 1910 would probably find it holding seventh rank among states, for the growth ot it since 1900 has been greater than for the five years preceding that census, and it is rea­ sonable to believe that for the next five years it will continue to forge ahead, because it is now practically in the beginning of its development.” Hslrea* to Wad.

The end was expected, as the patient had been sinking for several days. His wife and two sons, Charles B. and .Frank Jefferson, Mrs. Nellie Symons, his nurse. Miss Mauel Bing­ ham, Dr. R. B. Potter, and his faith­ ful old servant, Carl Kettler, were at the bedside when he died. HIs dauruter, Josephine, and two of his sons, Thomas aud Joseph, were In New York. While no arrangements have been made for the funeral, it has been de­ cided that the body will leave Palm Beach on a special train for the Jef­ ferson home at Buzzards Bay, Mass. All of the family who are here will aceompny the remains. Mr. Jefferson about four weeks ago visited Grover Cleveland at Kobe sound, where he caught cold, a. ampanied by acute indigestion, and, upon his return to Palm Beach, was forced to take to his bed. He was up after a few days, but April 13 he was seized with a relapse. * Several times during ms Illness the patknt rallied, and it was thought that he might recover. It was seen on Friday night, however, that the end was near, and the sufferer grad­ ually. sank until death came. Mr. Jefferson had not been in the best of health lor several months, and came to his home here early tn the winter, with the hope of regaining bls strength. This he was doing until his trip to Hobe sound. GREAT ROCK ISLAND ROUTE F. W. Walkkr, Office over Walldorf's shoe store Warehouse Affairs of Indian Investigated. CoUnclfeu F. E. Willison, D. D. S.

STORY IS SENT O'JT ON APRIL 1 Accuses Millionaires of Conspiring With Cracksmen to Despoil the Unit­ ed States Government of $268,000,­ 000 in Specie. Washington, April 24.—All over Aus­ tria nnd Germany the story has been circulated that the United States treasury has been looted of every dol­ lar by burglars in the employ of American mllllonarles; that $2G8,:90,000 is gone; and that the North At­ lantic squadron Is chasing the cracks­ men, who escaped on five ocean steamers. This piece of news was first printed In the Berlin Tageblatt, one of the principal German papers, April 1, and within, two days it was published all over both countries and taken serious­ ly. So much Interest has it Inspired that one diplomatic corps has received from an excellent fellow countryman a copy of the Pesther Lloyd of BudaPesth, one of the most respectable and Influential papers ot Austria, which printed the atory with the request that any further news about It may be communicated. Story In detail. The story appeared in the Pesther Lloyd. April 3. It is entitled "The robbery of milliards from the Unit­ ed States treasury," and reads as fol­ lows: "The New York correspondent of the Berlin Tageblatt reports a crime which has no parallel in the annals of the world, one almost incredible, and with consequences that cannot yet be estimated. He says: " ‘A most abominable crime was perpetrated night before last in Wash­ ington. A gang of criminals working with many millions of capital has suc­ cessfully carried through what was ah ways considered impossible, namely, to burglarize the United States treas­ ury and to take from it $268,000,000 In gold and silver. . . How Burglars Worked. “ 'The abomins jle deed was car­ ried out In the following diabolically refined manner: “It had been planned for years. The criminals, who, as it is believed, acted at the Instance of certain Amer­ ican millionaires and had millions and millions at their disposal, bad built an electro technical factory In 1902 on the left bank of the Potomac. "From this factory a tunnel was dug almost a mile long, thirty feet below the river bed, and ending direct­ ly under the treasury in a large cais­ son. From there thirteen shafts were dug upward, each ending directly un­ der one of the thirteen treasury vaults. Employ Submarines. "'Thus It was possible to cut out the chambers and to remove the contents within a short time into the tunnel, where the gold and silver were transferred to electric cars and in this manner carried to the factory. From here transportation was effect­ ed by means ot a fleet of at least twen­ ty submarine boats to large ships waiting in the open sea. “ 'It had been positively ascertained that these ships went through ths Chesapeake bay to the ocean, where no fewer than three and probably five larfge steamers were lying under steam. These vessels took on board the precious freight as well as the transport boats with all their crews. ‘“The whole north Atlantic squad­ ron has been ordered to search for the burglars on every route which the criminals could have taken. All the cruisers in the Gulf of Mexico, as well as In the Caribbean sea, will join in tbe chase. In addition to this, the fastest ships stationed In Pacific ports have been sent south with orders to await further instructions in Chilean ports.’ ” 8HOOTS AT HIS WIFE AND DIES Wisconsin Man Falls to Injurs Wom­ an, but Blows Out HIs Brains.

( । 1 ■ ' ' The Protestant clergymen of this city have committed themselves in a very practical way to a united warfare upon the divorce evil. It lias become the reproach of the clergy in the Unit­ ed States that they are not strict enough in their attitude towards this great and growing evil. At a recent dinner given by a religious social club of Philadelphia in which the divorce evil was discussed by prominent lead­ ers of Che church, Mr. Francis A. Lewis, a well known lawyer of that city made the following criticism of the clergy: “We should have had little trouble with the divorce evil but for the Pro­ testant clergy of iXmerlea. Divorce Is not so bud if It stops there. It Is tho remarriages that cause most of the dif­ ficulty and most of the divorces, too. The Protestant clergymen perform these remarriages. They have taught the people to think that remarriage after divorce is all right. "I hold that after a minister has once pronounced the divine blessing upon a union—for after all that is the extent of the part he plays in joining a man and a woman for life—be should refuse to give that blessing a second time to either one of the old parties. He should say: ' “ ‘If the civil law is good enough to separate you from A. it is good enough to unite you to B. Go to the magis­ trate. Thou hast appealed unto Ceasar; unto Ceasar shall thou go.* “I defy you to show me a match so disreputable and unsavory that some clergyman has not been found to do the dirty work for them.” Whatever of truth there may be in this criticism of the clergy It will not hereafter apply to the clergymen of Hastings, as the following agreement, will show: We, the undersigned ministers of the Gospel in the city of Hastings, Mich., hereby agree that we will not solemnize marriage in any case where there is a divorced wife or husband liv­ ing, except for the Innocent party to a divorce, for the cause of adultery or for divorced parties seeking to be reunited in marriage.

The Herald for job printing. Haney-Paton. Last Thursday evening at the resi­ dence of the bride’s sister, Mrs. H. U. Snyder, 420 Hanover street, and in the presence of immediate relatives only, Miss Mildred I. Paton, daughter of David Paton, residing 3} miles south­ east of this city, was united in marriage to Mr. Jacob H. Haney. At the appointed hour, 7:30 o'clock, the bride and groom, unattended took their places on the south side of the parlor, which was decorated with ferns, palms, pink and white carnations and marguerites, and the Rev. Arthur Trott propounded the solemn questions which made them husband and wife, after which congratulations and best wishes were heartily extended. The bride was becomingly gowned In white albatross trimmed with lace and ribbon. Dainty refreshments were served, and afterwards the happy couple were escorted to their home, 714 Hanover street, which was all ready for their re­ ception. Mr. and Mrs. Haney are both well known and highly respected and their many friends will join the Herald in extended congratulations. NICHOLS TO BE TRIED HERE CHANGE OF VENUE FROM KENT TO BARRY COUNTY. The Respondent Ordered to Appear for Trial on First Day of Next Term. • An echo of the celebrated water scandal cases at Grand Rapids is to be heard in this city at the next term of the Barry county circuit court. Ex­ Senator George E. Nichols, the lawyer and politician who was arrested and tried once for bribery and acquitted on that charge, was afterward arrested od tbe charge of perjury, alleged to have been committed in connection with the water cases. Judge Newnbam has granted the petition for a change of venue and or­ dered Nichols to appear for trial in this city on the first day of the next term of court. This will be May 22nd. Let Us Stand By the Board of Trade. As the Herald views the local situa­ tion there is cause for regret that a deeper*!merest is not taken in tbe ef­ forts being put forth by the board of trade for the welfare of this city. Less than fifty members of tbe board attend­ ed tbe annual meeting Tuesday night, nor can it be truthfully said that any particular enthusiasm was manifested at tbe meeting. Perhaps there was no particular rea­ son fur enthusiasm at a formal business meeting, and it may be sold in addition that many citizens who were not pres­ ent are entirely In sympathy with the board of trade. And yet, it would have been far more inspiring to the officers if all the business men of tbe city bad shown a direct, personal interest in the organization by gracing tbe meeting with their presence and active assist­ ance. In this connection the address of President Stem which we reproduce in full, is well worth thoughtful perusal. It is, no doubt, a severe and even de­ pressing tax upon tbe zeal of officers who have labored bard and faithfully for the good of the city, to meet with indifference, and even unkind criticism from those who would naturally be supposed to be in entire harmony with their efforts. But we regret to say, such has been the experience of these officers during the past year. It ought not to be so. These gentle­ men, the Herald has every reason to believe, have been actuated by the highest motives of loyally to tbe city of Hastings. They have done every­ thing in their power to build up the city and they really deserve universal approval, not criticism. They may have made mistakes, but their motives have been disinterested and straight­ forward, and from the experience of the past they nre belter prepared to serve the best interests of Hastings than they have ever been before. Why, then, may not all the loyal citizens of Hastings, laying aside all past differences, forgetting the things that have caused contention in the past, rally around the board of trade in the second year of its existence and work for those common interests which are the objects of the organization. This is the only way in which we can keep our fair city in the front line of progress and prosperity. The policy of harmony for the sake of Hustings is the obvious road to success. Lei us push Hastings. We club the Herald with all the leading papers and magazines. Call and get prices. HASTINGS BOARD OF TRADE ANNUAL MEETING AND ELECTION OF OFFICERS. President Stem Makes Earnest Ap­ peal to the Citizens for Their Co-operation. organization cannot be started in a day. or a month, or six months. It requires time and effort to obtain results for anything that may be undertaken, par­ ticularly a work of this character. We have been hampered in various ways, particularly from the fact that we have not had available any considerable sum of money, which you will agree with me is a necessary factor, also from the fact that we have not had the co-oper­ ation, as we stated before, of certain elements, who it would be natural to expect would be among the first to assist in a movement of this character, and I wish to state al this point that if this organization ’sallowed to lapse and go to pieces it will be disastrous to the future prosperity and expansion of this city. Secretary A. C. Brown and Trcosttpr Frank Horton were re-elected by accla­ mation. After several ballots Luke Waters and John F. Goodyear were elected vice presidents. The election of Mr. Waters as vice-president necessi­ tated his resignation as director, and the vacancy in the board was filled by the election of Emil Tyder. in Mr. Waters’ place. This concluded the business before the meeting and was followed by ad­ journment. Tuesday night being the time fixed by the constitution of the Hastings Board of Trade for its annual meeting and election of oilleers about forty members gathered at the council room for that purpose. President Stem called the meeting to order and verbal reports were made by the secretary and treasurer. Secre­ tary Brown reviewed at some length the work of the past ir-ur, dwelling somewhat upon the discouragements, the obstacles, the lack of hearty sup­ port which had been the experience of the past year. He also spoke in a hopeful strain of the prospect of obtain­ ing a new industry which now appears bright.

Washington has been treated to a sensation during the past week, a sen­ sation of such proportions that it will curtail the president’s trip nud bring him bock to the capital a week earlier than he had expected to return. Her­ bert W. Bowen, L’nited States min­ ister to Venezuela, and Francis B. Loomis, assistant secretary of slate, are the chief figures io the affair which promises to end In the dismissal from the public service of at least one of these officials, possibly, although im­ probably both. It appears that some time ugo Min­ ister Bowen, filed, officially, charges against Secretary Loomis, who has at one time been minister to Venezuela. In brief, these charges are to the effect that as minister Mr. Loomis accepted 110,000 from the New York and Ber­ mudez Asphalt Company in compensa­ tion for bls services in their behalf; that Mr. Loomis purchased a claim of 84,000 against the Venezuela govern­ ment and used his influence to collect it: and, that Mr. Loomis undertook to collect a claim for a Mr. Meyers for a commission of one seventh of $1,400,­ 000. Mr. Bowen forwards these charges to Secretary Tuft, over his own signature, and Secretary Taft forward­ ed tbe communication to the president who was already in the west. Not content, however, with having done this, Mr. Bowen grew impatient at bearing no echo of the serious charges he had preferred and he fur­ nished tbe details of tbe charges to a certain newspaper correspondent In Caracas. The whole story was then mailed to this country and appeared in large type on the front page of one of the New York dallies. Even were the charges true, Minister Bowen was guilty of a grave indiscretion and vio­ lation of courtesy io making them pub­ lic io advance of some reply to bls com­ munication to Secretary Taft and only uupardonably bad judgment or ungov­ ernable spleen against his superior of­ ficer could account for this course. When tbe charges were first made public Mr. Loomis was absent from Washington but immediately on his re­ turn he furnished to the newspapers a categorical denial of each and all of the charges. He explained that he had bad one financial transaction with tbe New York and Bermudez Asphalt Com­ pany, but only to tbe extent of ex­ changing his check on a Venezuelan bank for tbe company's check on a New Y ork bank when he left Caracas at the conclusion of bis service as minister, this being not unusual among Ameri­ can ministers in Caracas and elsewhere where the rate of exchange Is high and sometimes exchange cannot be secured at any price. ' Of course the transac­ tion was unimportant and could not place either party under material obli­ gation to the other and may even have been a mutual accommodation. Every other transaction undertaken by Mr. Loomis as minister to Venezuela, he declares he undertook only as a result of explicit instructions from tbe secre­ tary of 1 late. Beyond this denial, Mr. Loomis has declined to discuss the charges. Still another question which will compel tbe attention of the president at no distant date is the constantly In­ creasing treasury deficit. This has now assumed somewhat alarming pro­ portions, being, at practically the end of May, 830,000,000. Treasury experts claim tbat It will be reduced during the next two months and this is not im­ probable as many funds appropriated by congress have been exhausted, but it is frankly admitted that it cannot possibly be reduced to anywhere near Secretary Shaw’s estimate of $18,000,­ 000. • Secretary Shaw bus made one of bls extravagant and thoughtless state­ ments to the press, in which he says that a 830,000,030 deficit is “a mere nothing,” that for a great and pros­ perous country it should not be regard­ ed as of any importance and that, in fact, “It means no more than 81 to the average individual.” The secretary apparently forgets the fact that so great are the expenses of the govern­ ment that once the balance is trans­ ferred to the wrong side of the federal ledger it grows with astounding rapid­ ity and has been known to wipe out a large surplus in an astonishingly short time, os was the case in the Harrison administration. Of course Secretary Shaw hopes to belittle the situation because he is an arch 1 stand-patter” and cannot sleep whenever anyone ha? suggested revis­ ing the precious tariff schedules. Of course the growing deficit gives in­ creased impetus to the demand for tar­ iff revision which everyone' but the protected interests appreciates is nec­ essary.

Christianity and Patriotism. The Russian Countess Sophie Tolstoi has written an eloquent appeal for peace, which no doubt voices the feel* Ing of the Russian people, unless It be tbe military leaders and the autocrats who have placed tho country in its present sad plight and who would rath­ er go on with the slaughter than ac­ knowledge defeat at the hands of a formerly despised, unchristian nation. She argues that a lost war is not a dis­ grace but a misfortune and makes the interesting statement that the Japan­ ese are bound to conquer, because they are spiritually undeveloped and have jthat principle of patriotism which is opposed to tho Christian principle of love of one's neighbor. It is not likely that the appeal of this countcss will have any influence with the czar and bis advisers, but there is much sound sense In her statement that a lost war is not in itself a dis­ grace. The point, however, which it is the purpose of these comments to emphasize is Countess Tolstoi's idea tbat patriotism is stronger in a nonebristian nation than in a Christian nation. Is It true? Tho Chinese are unchristian as well as the Japanese, but they are notori­ ously lacking in the spirit that is im­ pelling their neighbors to make such heroic sacrifices for their country. This one contrast between the two un­ christian peoples of the far east would seem to prove the fallacy of Countess Tolstoi’s assertion. But if the central principle of Chris­ tianity, that of lov*te, has any force at all among the nations that profess this religion, it must be true that the spirit of war, which is innately cruel and re­ vengeful, cannot be as dominant in Christian lands as in non-christian lands. Alas, for the evidence of his­ tory, hewever, the principle of the golden rule has had little restraining effect thus far upon tbe martial spirit of so-called Christian governments. Strangely enough, while the principle has animated tbe Individuals of a nation, it has net been effective in de­ termining the action of nations In deal­ ing with each other as masses. Men who believe in and practice the princi­ ples of the Prince of Peace in their individual lives, go into battle and slay each other because their respec­ tive governments happen to be at war. But the time, is coming when the principles of Christ will be applied to international affairs as well as to indi­ vidual conduct. When it comes war will be an impossibility. Even then patriotism will not disappear. Love of country will not then take the form of murderous enmity to tbe rest of tbe world, it is true, but of devotion to tbe best interests of one’s country. Even dow, the Russian countess who Is mak­ ing a powerful appeal that the dis­ tressful war which is afflicting her countrymen may be ended, Is showing a higher patriotism than the obstinate czar who had rather continue the dreadful sacrifice than acknowledge defeat. Patriotism of tbe truest kind consists in love of country that is actuated by love of right and justice and humanity. Though not warlike, it is ready to sac­ rifice itself for country, if such neces­ sity arise. But it is hardly conceivable that the necessity may arise, when the Christian nations have adopted the same principles of conduct In their re­ lations with each other that individual Christians practice. Reform in the Postoffice Depart­ ment. attached, to faithful henchmen, as a reward for partisan activity. In fact the whole system in the larger cities and in the department at Washington has been administered more as a polit­ ical machine than as a vitally import­ ant business department of the national government. It is therefore high time that the postoffice officials of the country be given to understand tbat they are placed in their positions to serve the people, not a party, and that active participation in politics will not be tol­ erated. Also that the regulations of the civil service commission relative to employes must be obeyed in the spirit as well as the letter. Home Rule For Cities. There are at least two bills before the legislature designed to give a large measure of home rule to the people of Michigan. Senator Martindale and Representative Lord, both of Detroit, have introduced measures providing for home rule. Mr. Lord’s bill is general and some­ what radical in Its character. It pro­ poses to Invest in city councils the power to legislate for themselves in local matters, under such limitations as are obviously necessary in order to subordinate such local bodies to the sovereign authority of the general leg­ islature, and to confine their powers within constitutional limits. The Lord bill also confers upon cities having more than 10,000 inhabitants the right to amend their own charters. The principal argument advanced in favor of home rule for cities is tbat it would relieve the state legislature of a great mass of business that is strictly local in its character. About ninetenths of the bills introduced at Lans­ ing are local bills, which are of no in­ terest or value outside of the particular territory affected. And yet the time of the legislature is taken up with these local measures, to the detriment of general legislation and at heavy ex­ pense to the state. This is from the legislators’ point of view. And If we look at the matter from the local standpoint wu shall find good reason for tbe proposed home rule measure. It is always desirable in a popular form of government like- our own to apply and encourage the prin­ ciple of self government, to get as near the people as possible In those affairs which directly concern them, and to give to the people ns much part and voice as practicable In making their own laws. Why should the people of Detroit, for Instance, be required to go to Lansing for permission to change the manner of choosing their munici­ pal boards, or for doing anything else which concerns no one in the state out­ side of Detroit?' • The same question is as pertinent when applied to other cities. If all the local bills pertaining to Detroit alone could be cut out the sessions of the leftislature could be materially shortened, and that, too, without any disadvantage to tbe people outside of Detroit. Surely there is much to be said in favor of the home rule principle—and it is to be hoped tbe legislature will give the bills bearing upon this sub-, ject a full and favorable hearing. A Queer Office Seeker. Judge Robert E. Frazer of Detroit is a queer kind of office seeker. It will be remembered tbat in tbe recent ju­ dicial election in Wayne county, Judges Frazer and Donovan were so nearly tied, as shown by the returns, that a recount was ordered and a legis­ lative committee has been wrestling with the job of finding out whether Judge Frazer or Judge Donovan was tbe real choice of the people. A few votes thrown out or counted would de­ cide tbe matter whether Frazer or Donovan was to enjoy the dignity and salary of the judgeship for six years more on the most important bench in the state. Under such circumstances one would suppose tbat the candidates would be glad to take advantage of any techni­ calities that would add to their chances of winning. That is what most candi­ dates would do. Tbe question of the intent of the voters would cut no figure. The point would be, to win out. But what did Judge Frazer do but write a letter to tbe legislative com­ mittee saying he did not want to take any advantage of technicalities, but simply to ascertain tbe intent of the voters? By this course he jeopardized his chances. He did not want the office unless tbe returns showed beyond a doubt that a majority of tbe voters of Wayne county cast their ballots for him. Foolish man. Such old fashioned honesty and high notions are really painful. They imply an utter lack of those qualities which have placed most of our politicians In office. Judge Frazer has been on the bench so long that be is evidently out of touch with modern politics. He seems to be­ lieve in the old fogy nations that honor and self respect and decency are worth more to a man than any public office, however high and lucrative. No wonder some of the legislative re­ count committee laughed in derision when they read the judge’s unsophisti­ cated letter. Postmaster General Cortelyou seems to be making a commendable attempt to eliminate politics from the depart­ ment. In New York city where the service was notoriously Inefficient on account of tbe political graft which prevailed very extensively, tbe new re­ form postmaster Is said to be gradually bringing the service to a better condi­ tion by insisting tbat business be placed before politics. Such a reform was no doubt sorely needed, not only in New York but in other large cities, and even in many of the smaller postofflees. The business of handling the mail for this great country is too important to be subor­ dinated to partisanship and there is no doubt the people would be far better served if strict civil service principles were applied In all branches of this department. As an Instance of the postmaster general's determination to enforce the civil service regulations he has given notice to the assistant postmaster of the city of Louisville tbat be must retire from the membership of the state cen­ tral committee of Kentucky if he ex­ pects to retain his position. Mr. Cor­ telyou has at the same time placed his disapproval on a common violation of the law, whereby an employe who has not passed tlic civil service examina­ tion required for the classified list has been assigned to duties for which he is not legally qualified. It is not an uncommon thing to evade the spirit if not the letter of the civil The Herald's job printing gives en­ service regulations, by assigning duties in this way, and with them the salaries tire satisfaction. The Primary Reform Farce. Primary reform is having just the kind of a hard time in the present leg­ islature and with the present adminis­ tration os might have been expected. As has already been pointed out in these columns, the bill which passed the house tho other day with such a display of unanimity was a preposterous and unworkable affair, a mere evasion of genuine primary reform. And notv the senate and the governor are going to try their hand at the primary reform business. Either the Ivory-Double bill is to be remodeled or a new measure is to be drafted that will be more ia line with Gov. Warner’s Idea of what will meet the emergency of the situation. Then if the senate can be lined up in favor of an administration bill, the house will also have to be managed in some way, so as to do its work over again. Really the course of tho legislature in dealing with primary reform is little more than farcical. Whatever the out­ come, one thing is certain: There will be just as little of real primary reform embodied in the measure that finally gets through as tbe political leaders at Lansing think the people will accept without actually revolting. Detroit is to be congratulated on awakening from her Rip VanWinkle sleep and adopting standard time. Here’s hoping she will stay awake this time. AND now If Mr. Carnegie would give the next ten millions to retired and worn out editors! Carriers on the rural routes report that it Is a frequent occurrence to find bills placed in the boxes along their routes. This is a violation of the U. S. postal regulations and the next offend­ er is quite likely io find he has a set­ tlement to make with Uncle Sam. No one has a right to place mail matter of any kind, or anything else, in the boxes, except lhe owners and the rural carriers. iGood Tea and I = Good Coffee I • • X • J —are essential to a well ordered meal.

Searching for Land in Western Kansas. Elmer E. King who is in western Kansas prospecting for land, writes the Herald the following letter concern­ ing bis trip and experience, dated at Dodge City, April 29: I left Hastings April 17 over the C., K. & S. to Kalamazoo. Left Chicago at 6:00 p. m. over the Santa Fe route for Dodge City. Arrived at Dodge City on the 19th at 11:40 p. m., two hours late. The wind was blowing half a gale and then it commenced to rain and rained until towards morning, when It stopped and the sun rose clear and nice. 1 walked out in the country about five miles, south of town, across lhe Arkansas river which is about 60 rods from the main street of town. (I will state what made It blow so hard when we arrived. It was because there were so many land agents blowing off gas.) When I started out the streets were so muddy 1 could hardiy get along. When I came back ut about one o’clock the mud was all dried up. The ground just soaks in the water. Houses are very small out here. Chambers and I wondered how they get along. So 1 stopped to sec one, asking for a drink of water, and found out it doesn’t take much room: A safe, table, steel range, sewing machine, two ladles and u baby, in a room about 12 feet square. Well, they have a good many rooms all on the ground floor. This was at a rented cattle ranch. As I was going out I met a man from Missouri who arrived here tbe first of March and bought 480 acres of land for H,000 and sold for 15,000. He then bought a quarter section for tlOOO and sold for 01500. That Is tbe way land has been going up. He thought he bad done a big thing, but when he tried to buy again he found he was out, as they are all on a boom at present. Well, as it looked to me out here, they don’t care about the loss of a horse, colt, cow or two. I can’t understand how they succeed os they do out here. I am very sure that in Michigan they would be on the town. Cuttle and horses are looking very poor to me and they are turned out on the ranges and to me it looked,os though there was nothing Io ent.* I am sure that in Michigan sheen could not live on so short a feed. But the Buffalo grass is very rich. When I first arrived here I did not think much of their horses But a land agent one afternoon drove four of us out in a double carriage to show us some lands they had to sell. When we came back we hud traveled over 45 miles, and although the horses did not look like a very good team they did not break a trot for the last ten miles. One horse did not sweat any and the other only slightly going out. This was while I was at Garden City, fifty miles west of Dodge City. Mules? Well, yes. Saw 500, nld and young, at Garden City, owned by Mr. ’Coulter. At one place be hod them up In corrals feeding and fatten­ ing them for the market and range. Curn is hauled out In wagon loads at a time and they go and eat nil they want. Cane and sorghum for hay, and I was surprised to see how they ate it. I came out here thinking I might be able to buy a section of school land at the state price of 81 25 an acre. But it is put up at auction and sold to the highest bidder. The lust sale went for 89.00 per acre. I didn’t have the price, so 1 did not wait for the next sale. I came from Garden City this morn­ ing to file on a beautiful quarter sec­ tion of land that they said was vacant. But I found that some one else was ahead of me, having filed on the 11th day of April. So I was out. Yours truly, Elmer E. King.

Salt or matches keep perfectly dry in a McCray refrigerator, the most severe test possible. . • Zinc lined refrigerators cause disease. That state smell about a refrigerator is a danger signal. The zinc is corroding and the oxide poisoning milk and food. McCray’s refrigerators are lined throughout with porcelain tile, opal glass or odorless wood (no zinc is used). They are dry, clean and hygienic, of superior construction, are un-_ equaled for economy of ice, and can be iced from outside of house. Every refrigerator .is guaranteed. Hygienic Value of the McCray Refrigerators ft The pre-eminent hygienic value of the McCray refrigerator places it above all others. In addition it offers every real merit of other refrigerators and ininy that b-loug to it alone. It offers one-third to one-half more cooling space than any other. The insulation is absolutely the best; the inside never sweats and is always (even in the ice chamber) perfectly dry and odorless. . Hundreds of physicians and health institutions, after long trial, have given our system highest praise. The Battle Creek Sanitarium of Battle Creek, Mich., a large institution known the world over as very strict as to hygienic principles and rules, writes us as follows: “We have had in use for some time two of your cooling rooms, and they have given the best of satisfaction. We would not know how to suggest any improvements that would make the cooling rooms any more suitable to us. Your refrigerators have proven to be economical in saving ice, thoroughly sanitary, and in many ways are superior to ordinary cooling rooms.” The McCray refrigerator will last a life-time and will save its cost in ice in a short time. It is sold entirely on its merits. di GOODYEAR BROS. di ft w di ft di ® ® *6 * SOLE A6ENTS >99999999999999999999999999999999999999* ta & ft WE WANT TO TELL YOU THIS WEEK ABOUT OUR to to DINING CHAIRS © © © AND © © © ft ft © We have the Best $6.00 Dining Chair to be found © anywhere.

BEST LINE ON EARTH �HASTINGS HERALD, THURSDAY, MAY 4, 1905. — —— — LADIES’ Handkerchiefs AND Hand Bags AT REASONABLE PRICES LEE HING The Theodore Thomas Orchestra. The Theodore Thomas Orchestra which has been engaged for the third annual May Festival at Grand Rapids, May 20 and 30, has been known to the people of tbe United States for more than forty years as tbe foremost organ­ ization of its kind. It was established in tbe city of Chicago under the name of tbe Chicago Orchestra in 1891. In addition to the Chicago season which consists of 24 weeks, from four to eight weeks have been used each year for concerts in other cities. Theodore Thomas, the .founder of the orchestra and the pioneer and premier of all orchestra conductors in America, died Jan. 4,1005. Since that time the or­ chestra has been entirely under the di­ rection of Frederick A. Stock, who for five years had been assistant to Mr. Thomas, and under whose leadership the annual tours of the last two years have been made. Mr. Stock has been generously endowed by nature for this work, possessing those rare and neces­ sary qualifications of genius, thorough musicianship, generalship and author­ ity—qualities seldom found in one per­ son, but without which no conductor can attain true success. A Great Magazine Achievement. Woodland At the Head. The Herald Is in receipt of the twenty-sixth annual report of the sec­ retary of state of Michigan. A glance at its contents shows that it Is not an intensely interesting publication and it is safe to say that no one will ever read It through. It contains 174 pages, 170 of which nre statistics, it is some­ times said that nothing exists in vain. So we suppose this bulky pamphlet is good for something. Let us see if we cannot extract something of Interest to Barry county farmers from its dreary looking pages. In 1904 Barry county had 222,709 acres of improved farm land and 30,­ 455 unimproved. The number of farms was 3,100, with an average of 98 acres to a farm. Assyria had 14,143 acres improved and 6,417 unimproved; Balti­ more 14,640 and 5,8*19, improved and unimproved respectively; Barry, 15,573 aud 5,245; Carlton 14,373 and 6,629; Cas­ tleton, 14,453 and 5,658; Hastings 11,313 and 3,349; Hastings city, 1st and 4th wards, 1,302 and 179; Hope 10,683 and 2,636; Irving 13,609 and 5,179; Johns­ town 13,250 and 5,578; Maple Grove 15,­ 363 and 6,069; Orangeville 12,822 and 6,117; Prairieville 17,231 and 2,591; Rutland 15.676 and 6,479; Tbornapple 15,307 and 3,332; Woodland 13,050 and 4,456; Yankee Springs 9,421 and 4,672. Carlton has the most farms, 265, and Yankee Springs the least, 118. Prairie­ ville has the highest average number of acres Id each farm, 122, and Hast­ ings and Hope the lowest average, 82 acres. In 1903 Woodland raised the most wheat, 46,564 bushels, and Castle­ ton came next with 41,546 bushels. Tbe average yield per acre in Wood­ land was 23 bushels and In Castleton 21 bushels. A comparison of the average yield of wheat of the several townships of the state shows that Woodland stands practically at the head of tbe state when tbe number of acres is considered in connection with the averages. Frederic, Crawford county, has an average of 23 bushels, but only 5 acres; Felch, Dickinson county, an average of 25 bushels, but only 1 acre; Carp Lake, Emmet county, an average of 25 bushels, but only 25 acres; Sheridan, Mason county, an average of 23 bushels, with only 270 acres; Case, Presque Isle county, an average of 28 bushels, and 1 acre; and so od. It is evident that these exceptional yields where only a few acre* are concerned are not fairly to be ciassod with a township tbat has 2,063 acres in wheat. Tbe only town­ ship that may fairly be said to surpass Woodland is Denmark, Tuscola county, which reported an average yield of 24 bushels on 1417 acres. Woodland township therefore may justly claim to be one of Lhe two banner wheat raising townships in the state of Michigan. So, after ail, something of interest may be extracted from the secretary of state’s compilation of figures, if one has time and patience to dig it out. Tbe Pirgrim magazine for May, one of the best known of the pictorial monthlies, offers, as a special feature, a double page group of portraits of “Liv­ The Herald's job printing gives en­ ing American Composers,” one hun­ tire satisfaction. dred and seventy-five in number, ac­ companied by such data as the music lover, amateur, or professional wishes to know of his favorite’s work.

UNIONS IN BATTLE FOR LIFE Employers Declare That Backbone of Organization Must be Broken, While Men Are Determined to Tie Up All ' Traffic in the City. Chicago, May 1.—After twenty-four hours of Sunday interlude, not entire­ ly peaceful, the teamsters' strike was resumed this morning with redoubled force. Even in the midst of hopeless efforts for peace yesterday no moment of time was lost by either employers or strike leaders in preparation for the renewed and constantly growing strug­ gle. The "forlorn hope" of a forty eight hour armistice held out by Mayor Dunne's peace commission on Satur­ day afternoon went glimmering last evening after the commission had concluded a three-hour conference with the executive committee of the Employers’ Association. Truce Is Rejected. The business men declared to the mayor that it was ridiculous to ask them to paralyze the commerce of this city of 2,000,000 people for two days, during which time rioters might "make merry" with life and properly. The strikers previously had demanded that the forty-eight hours’ truce In­ clude the cessation of police activity. The merchants' committee also told the mayor and his peace commission that "under no circumstances would they tolerate any interference with the conduct of business from any source whatever." Week of War Expected. There were indications in labor un­ ion counsels during the day which forecast a week of war, in which the most desperate maneuvers would bo brought into play in a great effort to avert utter defeat. This plan for a speedy issue waa regarded by leaders as the only chance of uccess.At the meeting of the Federation of Labor during the afternoon President Dold delivered an impassioned speech, in which he declared it now was a war to the bitter end. In a series of other speeches in a like vein there was an evident attempt to buoy up the spirits of t.1e-rank and file of union men and to cement the fore *s. Appeal to Roosevelt < of the allurements held out by the strike lenders was an appeal to President Roosevelt, Gov. Deneen and Mayor Dunne to come to Chicago and investigate the strike before sending troops. The speakers - Invariably de­ nounced the employers, the grand jury, the Injunctions and the strike break­ ers, striving to throw the blame for the riotous events of the last week upon the shoulders of the business men. Express Companies to Ask Writ. Injunction proceedings on behalf of the seven express companies also were declared to be imminent, th^ consen­ sus of opinion being In favor of an application. Attorney Mayer, as coun­ sel for the companies, said arrange­ ments had been made to enjoin the striking express drivers and their union allies “at the earliest possible moment.” The express companies yesterday took advantage of the lull in strike activities and accomplished a good day's work in making deliveries. Every company except the Adams and the national made deliveries. Most of the unfinished work of the Adams com>’r.ny had been completed late Saturday night when, under a heavy guard, the wagons wtre loaded and unloaded with the haste of war time. All the hotels were remembered by the companies, and much perishable produce was delivered. More than thirty-five wagon loads of goods were handled by the American company. The drivers were armed, and the vehi­ cles were accompanied by police. Thirty wagons were in use by the United States company. Little Inter­ ference was reported. The Wells-Far­ go company had eight wagons out, and deliveries were made under ade­ quate guard. Big Loss In South Water Street. The express companies could not. however, go to the rescue of South Water street. Because of the paraly­ sis of that branch of the express busi­ ness commission merchants estimate their losses on Saturday and yester­ day to be between $50,000 and $100­ 000. That the dampening effect of the I strike on business In general Is also | far reaching was shown by the action of one large wholesale millinery house which was compelled to call in Its salesmen from neighboring states be­ cause of a scarcity of orders. The mails during the day brought scores of letters of sympathy to the Employers' association from similar bodies of business men In other cities. Each of these letters according to Secretary Job, conta'ned commenda­ tion for the stand taken by the local merchants, and assured moral, and, if necessary, financial support. General Effort to Move Wagons. The plans of merchants for busi­ ness to-day are not clearly defined. A general attempt will be made among the whoesalers to move wag­ ons. They will be manned by non­ union drivers, under the protection of the federal injunction. The move­ ment of these wagons commenced at daybreak. "We have purchased many wagons and we have men enough to make de­ liveries for almost all the firms need­ ing help,” said Victor W. Sincere. reprcsenting the Employers' Teaming company. "More horses will be pur­ chased. and, as we need them, more n:< n will be hired. It Is not expected that we will meet with any serious In­ terference In making deliveries.” It is not likely that lhe retail stores of Slate stret will try to do much In the way of deliveries. The region they must cover is the whole city, and it is deemed impracticable at present to invite riot In such a manner. The wholesalers’ field Is restricted to the downtown district and the freight depots. More Police on Strike Duty. Supt. O'Neill and Assistant Chief Schuettler held a long conference in the city hall. They decided to In­ crease to 950 men the strength of the police force on strike duty. While these men are engaged actively in guarding the employers' wagons, a thousand more will be held in reserve, ready on a minute's notice to be sum­ moned. The chief also decided to tnke dras­ tic measures to stamp out what he calls the ’’gun evil." "Every man carrying a gun or weapon of any kind, whether a striker or rot, will be arrested," he said. “Mayor Dunne's proclamation has giv­ en us authority to act, and In no un­ certain manner. Every striker, team­ ster or picket will be ‘fanned’ for weapons, and if they nre found they not only will be confiscated, but the person carrying them will be arrqsted on the charge of carrying concealed weapons.” Expects to Fill Police Courts. "We have made no new plans other than to increase the number of men on strike duty," said Assistant Chief Schucttler. “It is impossible to make any plans under these circumstances. We expect to fill the police courts with men who nre now roaming the street® md shooting at random when­ ever they get excited." Attorney Dudley Taylor of the Em­ ployers’ association said he waa pre­ pared to prosecute lhe cases In the police courts as fast as the men were arrested. He announced that it was his Intention to insist, whenever pos­ sible. upon immediate trials, despite the tendency of the attorneys for the arrested men to delay the hearings in­ definitely. While the legal forces of the em­ ployers were thus planning vigorous prosecutions, the union leaders like­ wise were taking steps to enlist the services of more attorneys. Demands were made at the meeting of the labor federation that strike breakers should not be allowed to carry revolvers and “razors.” Spread of Strikes Expected. It is not expected that the strike leaders will meet the aggressive moves of the employers otherwise than in the manner pursued during the last week. Discharges will be the signal tor strikes, and II is proba­ ble that several large additions will be made to the number of teamsters already out. There were rumors that the em­ ploy s, tired of waiting for the union mov were on the point of declaring a general lockout of their drivers. This was denied, however, by John G. Shedd, who referred to the idea as unwise. May Avoid Strike at Yards. Stockyards packers believe & strike of their teamsters can be avoided, ac­ cording to statements made by offi­ cials of various companies. There is on disposition on the part of the pack­ ers to "force the issue," it was said, end efforts will be made by the com­ panies to avoid precipitating a con­ flict. In the event that it became neces­ sary to take sides teamsters who re­ fused to deliver meat wherever sent probably would be discharged. It was said, although no agreement had been reached on this point between the various houses. No conference of the packers was held. Soldiers Heid in Readiness. Enlisted men at Fort Sheridan were notified not to absent themselves from the post without permission. Al­ though the officers profess not to be­ lieve that they will receive any direc­ tions to proceed with their troops to Chicago to mr'ntain the federal in­ junction against striking teamsters', every preparation has been made for the transfer of the soldiers to this city at a moment's notice. • A few soldiers are allowed to go to Highwood, a mile away, but all per­ mits to visit Chicago are denied. Clothing and arms have been inspect­ ed carefully, and the campaign tents of the troops nre being aired. “We do not expect to get orders to go to Chicago.” said one of lhe of- ■ fleers, "but it Is well to be prepared for any unforeseen contingency." ,jSS0 JA^AL’ESE ARMY ClPFI’i NEWS war BRIEFLY STATED TRIES TS KILL f’klo Hears That Third Pacific Squad­ ron Will Join Fcrccc on the Morning of May 5.

Salt Lake, Utah. Mny 1.—Capt. W. A. Rai bourn, Twenty-ninth infantry-, U. S. A., committed suicide at Fort Doug­ las Sunday after making a murderous assault on Lieut. William IL Point, also of the Twenty-ninth infantry. Point was shot twice by his superior officer, one bullet penetrating his left thigh and another inflicting a deep flesh wound in his right leg. After Lieut. Point had fallen Capt. It al bourn turned his revolver upon himself, send­ ing a bullet into his head about three inches behind his right efir. He died almost Instantly. Absent From Post. On Tuesday of last week Capt. Raibourn was appointed officer of the day at Fort Douglas, but failed to report for duty and was absent in the city twenty-four hours without leave. He was arrested the following day, but was given the privileges of the fort under orders not to leave the grounds. Saturday evening Capt. Ralbourn broke the parole and came to the city. Lieut. Point, who was sent after him with an ambulance, found him in a sa­ loon, and he was returned to Fort Douglas under arrest. He was ordered to remain in his quarters. Seeks to Stop Shooting. Lieut. Point’s quarters are only two doors from those whoch Capt. Ral­ bourn occupied. The lieutenant had just stepped out of doors early Sun­ day, when Capt. Ralbourn appeared, carrying a revolver. His manner was threatening and Potnt said: “Now, captain, don't do anything foolish.” Ralbourn made no reply but im­ mediately begun shooting. When other officers and soldiers ran out doors from those which Capt. Ral­ bourn lay dead and Lieut. Point lay In front of his quarters. Lieut. Point was taken to his quart «ra. He is said to be resting well. Rtibourn's body was embalmed at the pest hospital ana was shipped to Oakland City, Ind., where his mother and two sisters re­ side. He has a brother in Chicago. Bought to Avoid Court Martial. Capt. Ralbourn had sought to avoid a ‘court martial, and had forwarded to Washington his resignation from the army. It had hot been accepted, and It was supposed that a trial by court martial awaited him. Worry over the probability of a dishonorable dis­ charge from tbe army and dissipation are believe-’ to have unbalanced his mind. Capt. Ralbourn, who was 35 years old am! •■‘married, enlisted in the army in J.' as a private and had worked his way up from the ranks. Capt. Ralbourn and Lieut. Point had served together in the Philippines and were firm friends. Lieut. Point entered the army as captain of the Fifty-first Iowa volun­ teers and later was appointed to the regular service. He has passed the examination and qualified for promo­ tion to a captaincy. Capt. Ralbourn formerly was re­ garded ns an efficient officer, but re­ cently he had been drinking to excess and could not be relied upon for duty. Ralbourn Native of Indiana. Washington, May 1.—Capt. Ralbourn was a native of Indiana, where he was born on Dec. 25, 1869. He served more than three years in the ranks before being appointed to the line of the army as second lieutenant of the Fourth Infantry on Oct. 31. 1894. He has been with the Twenty-ninth infantry since May 18, 1901. Lieut. Point, th*: officer wounded, was a native of New Jersey, wh-'re he was born July 17, 1876, and «as ap­ pointed to the army from Iowa.

It must be remembered that lhe president, in his last message to congress, specifically recommended that tbe power to adjudge the equality of railway ratlscomplalned of and tbe further power to fix an assumed just rate be conferred on the interstate commerce commission.

There is no doubt that an extension of the principle of the anti-rebate law would accomplish great good.

Then one of them told how the steel trust was selling steel plates to foreign ship­ builders, “delivered on the Clyde,” for 824 a ton, while lhe American ship­ builders had to pay in the city of Cleve­ land 832 a ton. “You can't build up a merchant marine with subsidies in the face of such conditions as that,” he added.

Finally the bold governor makes this statement: "As composed at this time, congress is unalterably, inflexibly and indig­ nantly opposed to any change whatso­ ever. Therefore, If you desire the op­ portunity to hold a reasonable confer­ ence with respect to a change in the law, you must substitute men who will do something for men who are deter­ mined to do nothing." Herein lies the whole truth, that "you must substitute men who will do some­ thing, for men who will do nothing.” In other words the present stand pat­ ters in congress must be replaced with men who are not owned by the protect­ ed interests, and such men will have to come from the democratic party. Of course Governor Cummins would not almit the correctness of this last con­ clusion. He no doubt thinks that the republican party can be reformed in a way that will bring about the desired tariff legislation. But as long us tbe Lodges, the Forakers, the Aldriches, and the Paynes, who represent the grjat tariff fostered intere»ts run tbe republican party, Mr. Cummins will not see the substitution effected that he speaks of above. The tariff does indeed need revising, but its revision must ba I SIDEBOARDS and BUFFETS I The Detroit Free Press. It is announced that tbe Detroit Free Press has changed owners, Wm. E. Quinby and his sons having sold their stock to a syndicate of moneyed men, of whom Wm. A. McMillan, Colonel Hecker and other Detroit capitalists are important members. Tbe change in ownership has already brought about the retirement of Theo. Quinby as managing editor and it is to be assumed that Mr. Wm. E. Quinby, the editor-in-chief will likewise retire from active control of the paper. Under Mr. Quinby’s long adminis­ tration of the Free Press’ policy the paper has wonderfully prospered and become one of the best exponents of ciean, honorable, independent journal­ ism in the country. The Free Press has won for itself a distinct and influen­ tial place among the country’s great newspapers. It bos a reputation for respectability, reliability and enter­ prise, coupled with conservatism and independence, that it is to be hoped tbe new management will attempt to maintain. Surely it would be a grievous mis­ take to lower the standard of journal­ istic excellence set by Mr. Quinby, by undertaking to make tbe paper an or­ gan for tbe advancement of any man's personal ambitions. The Free Press is greater than any man’s personal in­ terests and it ought not to be made an instrument of merely selfish purposes.

The ra? way express companies had their wagons on the streets all day and the Daniels Coal Company had a number of wagons out deliver­ ing coal, but the establishments of the big merchants involved in the strike were closed. A nonunion negro was shot In the wrist by a man hiding In an alley near the barm of the Employers' Teaming company. The assailant escaped. The Peabody Coal company had a crew of negroes unloading a barge at the power-house of the Union Trac­ tion company at Hobble and Crosby streets. They were not using teams, however. While the meeting of the Chicago Federatfon of Labor was in progress at Monroe and Peoria streets, wagons of the United States express company passed the hall several times. Men on the sidewalk declared It was the same wagon which was passing and repasslng, and it was empty. The bams of the company are at 255 Desplnines street Claim Employers’ Court Attack. The delegates declared that the company had sent its wagons past the hall on purpose to Invite an attack by the crowds of men who had gath­ ered around the union hall, and It fur­ nished the text for a two hours’ dis­ cussion. A protest against the action Is to be sent to Mayor Dunne and Cov. Deneen, nnd the Incident will be related be­ fore the Investigating committee when it meets in the city hall. President Shea declared that the proposition attributed to him by Mr. Thorne was without foundation, and he explained why he had spoken of a twenty-four hour limit to reinstate the striking teamsters. He said he had no intention of leaving the city and that the prospects of success for the strik­ ers appeared brighter every day. Mark Morton, president of the Em­ ployers’ Teaming company, who Is named in the resolution adopted by tbe labor men as threatening to de­ prive team owners of railroad patron­ age for refusing to lock out their teamsters, declared that the charges of conspiracy were laughable. Levi Mayer, general counsel for the Employers’ association, says the charges are brought by tbe lalwir leaders to cloud the issue which led to the strike, but that the plan will prove a failure.

C. Curryer In National Stockman and Fanner. A very good observation of tbe walk of the draft horse Is from a front, side and rear view. Note when the horse Is coming to you that bis head Is up well and that bls movement is regular, the feet car­ ried clear of the ground and evenly placed square and with deliberation. When the back Is short and underline long the legs will be handled In a har­ monious, prompt manner, nnd when the loin lo weak and back long almost the reverse Is seen In the action—a kind of dragging motion and unsteadi­ ness In the gait. From the rear view the bocks nhould be carefully inspected ns the hind feet are rained from tbe ground to see that the hocks are neither turned inward nor outward, but that the movement Is in line without deviation or “wob­ ble” In being carried forward with en­ ergy, force aud elasticity. While it Is not expected to And a fast trotter in the draft horse, his even, smooth, springy action at that gait Is a strong FOOT AND LEO OF HORSE. [This represents the foot and leg, showing about the proper slope of the pastern when the horse Is standing, and tho line down through the center of the leg should come back of the heel.] Indication that he is nearer sonnd than if -his action is stiff, “staky” or Jerky? When the hocks are too straight and irregularly set tbe action will be of a “stllty" character and short. It should be observed that the action from a side view shows the knees nnd hocks well flexed and carried In their for­ ward movement In harmony with each other without any hesitancy of action in either. As the action of the horse Is of the very first importance in summing up bls estimated value, after all other parts have been Inspected he should bo tried In n quiet manner to find If he does bls work of his own free will or is forced to It for tho moment by either feed nnd rest or the stimulating effect of the whipi If It Is the first he will turn out to be all you have ex­ pected. If tbe second and the trial is extended until his “play spoil” Is over his true nerve force is determined. But if It Is the third and the whip is laid aside be will tell the whole story very soon. The Berkshire Is coming more and more Into popularity with some breed­ ers, and the reasons assigned are that they are better adapted than nny of the larger breeds to produce the bncon and bum that tbe people are demand­ ing more aud more nil the time. The aim Is to get larger and leaner hams and to produce bacon that is even In its thickness, with the streaks of fat and leqn evenly divided. The Berkshire enthusiasts Insist that their strain best dlls this bill, and are of opinion that the further they advance along those lines the nearer they come to satisfying tbe demand of eaters of pork. These results are being obtained by raising hogs which have length and depth of body. The Ideal Berkshire, the one that gives the best product for the table, should weigh GOO to 700 pounds when two years old and should be between six and seven feet In length.—American Fanner. " There can be no question ns to the ad­ vantage of bruising oats and other grain for old horses and for those whose chewing powers are Impaired. Colin, however, maintains that in ordi­ nary cases the bruising of grain does not improve Its digestibility. Neverthe­ less we find that In the experiment from which we drew his conclusions the period of mastication was 4^ per cent longer and the amount of saliva secreted was 17 per cent greater with bruised oats than with whole oats.

JXU, by Martha McCulloch- McCullochB'illia » • ---------------------- -------------------------Margery’s eyes danced wickedly; she snuffed buttle nfur. Miss Catherwood, waddling majestically from booth to booth at St. Barnaba's fair, bad stop­ ped short at sight of ber, setting her note at least an Inch higher and sniff­ ing audibly. Since they were fellow church workers It would not do to say ■ Miss Catherwood hated Margery, but even since young Warwick bad fallen under Margery’s spell tbe elder lady hud shown herself spiteful beyond words. All Epplngton laughed at her, of course covertly. She was in a way its great lady, owning tho biggest house, the handsomest grounds and Hourly’ tbe biggest bank account in the village. Young Warwick's uncle, the major, had a thought more ready money, but since he lived modestly, never subscrib­ ed to anything in public and gave away by stealth more than half bls Income he was no such personage as MIm Catherwood, whoso joy In life was to write her name in front of a good round sum at the head and forefront of every important list Margery said audaciously that It was Miss Cntherwood's bablt to let both bands know all that even her little fin­ ger did. Possibly It was that speech, with the necessary accretions from mouth to mouth, which first niade Epplngton’s Lady Bountiful so high ana haughty toward its prettiest girl. Margery Lane was easily that and much more. There was a sweet soul at the bottom of her velvet eyes, wit and spirit a-plenty under her mop of floss silk curls. All the finest young fellows of the village were ber chums and sworn champions, even to the two or three who bad tried to be something more. Margery's compelling gayety abed sentiment as a duck's wing sheds water. Thus she had laughed her would be swains out of sighing Into a con­ sciousness of what she persisted In calling their mistakes. When she bad fully persuaded them to take her own sane view she sent them rejoicing on the way to court and marry other girls. Thus in her own way she was easily as murfi n power as Miss Catherwood. Otherwise she would not have been what she was at tho fair. Miss Cather­ wood was tbe fair’s moving spirit. If she had dared she would have Ignored Margery. Since she did not dare, she wisely resolved to make the utmost possible out of her enemy. Conse­ quently Margery had the stall which dispensed Impartially candy, cut flow­ ers and literature. The girl’s chums bad behaved nobly in the matter of buying, to say nothing of her lovers, actual, possible and Impossible. Ma­ jor Warwick put himself at tbe bead of the impossible, vowing things were at a pretty pass. Indeed, when tho girl ho had brought up specially for himself was whisked away from him all In a wink by bls scapegrace of a nephew. Melville Warwick, the nephew, bad been Miss Cntherwood's protege since be was in short frocks—this In spite of his own smoldering rebellion. His mother, a gentle half Invalid, was de­ voted to Pamela Catherwood, and Mel­ ville never willfully crossed his moth­ er In anything. He bud worn Cather­ wood leading strings with what grace he might up to the day he was sent away to college. When be came back from It to find tomboy Margery a crea­ ture of Infinite and tricksj- charm, withal the one woman Id'the world for him, ho let It be seen be meant hence­ forth to have his own way. Within a fortnight be bad courted Margery open­ ly, getting a nay-say, of course, but equally, of course, whistling it down the wind. “I'll give' you time to find out your own mind,” be had said. “It may take two years, but what is that beside liv­ ing a whole life without you?" Now he leaned upon the flower coun­ ter so ostentatiously rapt In tbe choice of a rose that Miss Catherwood had to speak twice before he answered. “What is it, Aunt Pam? You want a rose? Let me beg you choose Instead some of those choice chrysanthemums. You see, everybody wants roses, and all the flowers ought to go. Tbe chrys­ anthemums swamp any woman Jess majestic than yourself. A dozen of the biggest nnd hairiest, please. Miss Lane. Change? Outrageous! Whoever heard of change nt a fair?*’ “I don’t want flowers. Keep your money, or. If you needs must spend it, come to some of the sensible tables,” Miss Catherwood sold with what she meant for a withering glnnco nt Mar­ gery, who smiled amiably. “Do take him away, dear Miss Cath­ erwood!” she murmured. "I have done my best to get rid uf him this last hour. If he stays longer all the rest will hate me. You are an angel to deliver me from such a dreadful fate.” "You mean I nm on angel. Angels are til masculine. I leave it to the highest Authorities if that Is not true,” Melville laid, standing stock still, hls folded arms propped upon the flower table. Margery looked at him reproachfully. “You are blocking the way of tarte.” lhe safd. "I have somewhat of con­ science, howsoever you may be lacking In it These flowers have got to be turned Into flannels nnd soup and shoes . tor poor folkjr. Are you willing to pay ’ In advance for all I don’t sell?” “Wllllpg enough—more than willing!” Melville retorted. “Only show me how. I’ve been here three hours. Well, after this I can give pointers to tbe poor • man who foil among thieves’’— •‘Melville! For shame! What shock­ ing irreverence! Still I am not alto­ gether astonished,” Miss Catherwood Interrupted, raising her eyes to the celllug. “Now, If you please, we will be going Miss Lane, sell my chrysan­ themums over again—aud don’t forget to add what they fetch to the amount of my original donation." “Unless you buy them yourself, no­ body will,” Margery said, with a smile of Infantine malice. “They are so big nnd dull and bricky rod everybody has sniffed nt them. Indeed, Mr. Batmlre told mo when he fetched them in, 'Pa­ mela Catherwood Is your one chance for these.’ ’’ “Indeed!” Miss Catherwood was so near apoplexy she could not get beyond the word. "I'll give you a dollar apiece for them,” she said, “nnd you can send them straight to the Horne of the Homeless.” Then, with a hissing shriek: "Girl, where Is my purse? I had It a moment back—and laid It right there under your band!” “Yes, I saw It,” Margery said, hur­ riedly turning about masses of blos­ somy green. Miss Catherwood watch­ ed her suspiciously, crying jerkily all the whole: "My purse! Gold mounted, the clasp set with diamonds, and a hundred dollars! What have you done with It?’ “Hush!” young Warwick said Imper­ atively, making to lead her away. Pc pie were gathering, staring, listening, craning Decks, to see all about Margery Jet fall her bnnds, saying quietly, “It is not here.” Tbe words took away Miss Catberwood’s last vestige of composure. With a plunging lurch she overset the flower table, clutched Margery- by both shoul­ ders and shook her bard, hissing out: "You! You little bold faced thief!" Stunned silence for a breath; then babel broke loose. Suddenly some one cried, “Miss Catherwood, there’s your purse tangled up In tho lace nnd jet on your hanging sleeve!” Miss Catherwood raised a massy arm. There, true enough, the bnuble gleam­ ed. With one gasping look nt Mar­ gery's set, white face, she fell all In a moaning heap nt the feet of tbe girl she bad accused. In her fall jarring down a big lantern and overturning it amid the rubbishy decorations. Instantly there was a threatening flare. The flames ran leaping vengefnlly toward the groveling woman. If she breathed them once she was lost Margery stood over her, her slight fig­ ure outlined agatnst a heavy rich hued­ rug. Before another hand could be raised her arms went up, she tore tbe rug loose and, holding it banner-wise around and above her, dropped nnd smothered with it the flare at her feet. An hour later Dr..Archer was saying as he patted Margery's burned fingers: “Little girl. It was a heap more thnn a life for a life. You thought only of your enemy, but you saved your friends as well If the fire had gained head­ way every home In Epplngton might bp in mourning.” *Tm not trying to pay you, Margery —money cannot do that,” Miss Cather­ wood supplemented from the depths of her easy chair. "But you shall be my heiress to prove you truly forgive me, and you shall marry Melville Warwick to show riches make no difference in a true woman's love." The earliest known skates were those roughly shaped from the canon bone of a horse or cow, and Scandinavian ar­ chaeologists claim nn antiquity of 1.600 years for these. The wearer of these rude skates obtained speed not by a stroke of the foot, but by pushing him­ self along with n piked staff. Skates made entirely of wood wore next intro­ duced. These were followed by wood­ en ones shotl with flnt strips of iron. Then were gradually developed bladed skates, and finally experts evolved the Fen type, Norwegian racer and figure skates of the present day.—London Standard.

Begins Saturday, May 20, 1905 In a remote part of Turkestan Dr. Bren Hedln. the explorer, a few yearn ago discovered the ancient art of fal­ conry in fn|l flower. “Among the horse­ men were eight falconers," be writes, “two of whom carried eagles, the other falcons, all duly hooded. In this part of ths world falconers form an Indis­ pensable adjunct in any formal parade or procession. Later in the day they gave us an exhibition of their birds’ powers by letting them kill four hares and a deer, all of which were present­ ed to me.” “There were three marriages, six births and twenty-two deaths In town Inst year. A gloomy look, certainly.” So says the newspaper correspondence of one of our Vermont towns. It Is in­ deed a “gloomy look." Not only is the old stock dying out, but there is no in­ fusion of new. Think of the proportion of births to deaths. Where one chllil is born in this Vermont community there are four deaths. Little wonder that tbe state's population Is practically at a standstill.—Barre Times. 2 | LADIES’ I Handkerchiefs | J AND I | Hand Bags | LEON LEBENSOBN’S nt Parisian untR It won’t cost you any­ more.

' • The ware is strictly “firsts”—perfect in every respect The assortment is larg& and contains everything necessary for a nicely arranged table. You don’t need to wait till you have traded enough to get a dinner set but you can get one article at a time as often as you have the required number of tickets. ' It will pay you to see these dishes and it will pay you better still to trade with us and save your tickets.

If you have a weak stomach or are troubled with indigestion, you.wlll find these tablets to be just what you need. For sale by W. H. Goodyear. YANKEE SPRINGS.

Why suffer from rheumatism when one application of Chamberlain’s Pain Balm will relieve the pain?

Reference to the report on tbe eighth grade examinations which the Herald publishes elsewhere should afford much encouragement and gratification to the friends of our country schools. It shows that 132 boys and girls from the . farm homes of Barry county have been successful in passing tbe rather rigid test established by the state depart­ ment of public instruction and are pre­ pared to enter any high school In the county. The percentage of successful applicants, though but little more than one half, was really very good, being larger than usual, and there is promise that this percentage will constantly in­ create. it is worth while to reflect for a mo­ ment upon what this report means. It demonstrates the fact that our rural schools are coming up to that degree of usefulness which they ought to attain and that they are doing the same work for the country boys and girls that the graded schools of the towns are doing for their pupils. It means that country teachers are working faithfully and co­ operating successfully with tbe super­ visory officials provided by the state and county, to meet tbe requirements of modern education. It means that the country boys and girls are now en­ abled to obtain a good primary educa­ tion without having to leave home and that they have very nearly if not quite, tbe same advantages in their home •chools, as the pupils of the grades have in the city and village schools. The list of names of the successful ones brings to notice the disquieting fact that more than two-thirds of them are gials. The boys of the farmers are not keeping up with the girls in educa­ tion. It it were the higher education with which the rural schools bad to do, the discrepancy of boys to girls might not be so unfortunate. But the rudfmentary education ot the first eight grades is almost indispensable for the farmers’ boys, if they would be success­ ful among the farmers oi tbe coming generation. It is to be sincerely hoped therefore that the farmers will soon realize that they owe it to their boys to keep them in school, until they have completed tbe work of the eighth grade, and that the percentage of eighth grade graduates will be equal­ ised as between tbe sexes. Otherwise we shall find the women ot tbe future running the farms instead of the men. Will There Be A Naval Battle. Tbe expected naval battle between tbe Russian and Japanese fleets has not yet taken place, and it has been sur­ mised that the delay is being caused by deliberate purpose on the part of the belligerent nations, in order that se­ cret negotiations for peace believed to be in progress between them may be carried to a conclusion before resorting to the fierce encounter of the battle ships. This may not be true, and a battle may be impending at any mo­ ment. But for tbe sake of humanity, it Is to be hoped that the awful sacrifice may be averted. It Is bard to see bow the welfare of the world is to be advanced by tbe tremendous clash of these mighty fleets. It will do doubt be an awful tragedy, one of the greatest na­ val battles in the history of the world. It will be spectacular, exciting and bloody. It is likely to decide tbe mari­ time supremacy or decline of Japan. If Japan wins she is likely to become arrogant and relentlessly harsh in her attitude towards Russia, but it will not necessarily follow that peace will be made at once. Russia has wonderful staying power and almost limitless resources. She is really showing her­ self to be great under affliction, and there is no telling to what extent she may go, under the stress of national misfortunes. On the other hand if Russia wins in the naval fight, she is likely to be en­ couraged to continue the war until she can retrieve her military prestige. And so a great fight to a finish between the fleets of Rojestvensky and Togo will not by any means improve the con­ ditions for a speedy peace. For sueb considerations as tbene, it is not at all unlikely that the rumors that possibili­ ties of peace are the real explanation of the delay in bringing tbe fleets into battle are to be relied upon as true. Danger in a “Fake Bill.’’ Senator Fyfe told his colleagues a very pertinent truth Lhe other day when they were going through their primary reform legislation farce: “There is more danger to our party in a fake bill than in no bill." But It is a “fake bill" that the repub­ lican legislature Is dallying with. A real, direct nomination law would be applicable to all parlies and all offices from governor down. The mongrel af­ fair which the legislature is laboring so painfully to bring forth will be a hindrance to primary reform and seems to be shrewdly devised for that very purpose. , Better to stick to the present con­ vention system with all its evils than try to mix up both systems in n most vexatious, confusing and complicated way, as surely will follow the adoption of any such measure as the legislature is likely lo give us. This “fake” treatment will suit no­ body, and because it suits nobody it will be a source of danger to the re­ publican party, as Senator Fyfe says. Tbe friends of primary reform will be disgusted with the farce and the friends of the convention system will be dis­ satisfied with the concession to the re­ formers. Hence nobody will be pleased. It does not appear to be “good poli­ tics" therefore for the republican poli­ ticians who are running the party with a view of keeping it in power, to pass a “fake" bill. Better boldly oppose all primary reform legislation and stand witb such machine men os Baird and Doherty and Brown and Smith ahan to pass a farcical, unworkable, unpopular, quasl-reform law. Tbe President and the Iroquois Club. The Iroquois banquet to tbe presi­ dent on the occasion of his visit to Chi­ cago last week was an event entirely creditable both to tbc club and Its dis­ tinguished guest. It showed that a political club and a politically hostile president can lay aside their differences and meet on tbe common ground of patriotism. It'revealed a great polit­ ical organizatiem in tbe light of loyalty to country above mere partisanship, and a chief magistrate broad enough to accept such loyalty in the spirit in which it was manifested. President Roosevelt is undoubtedly tbe most popular president that has filled tbe executive office since the days of Monroe. Not so much because all the people agree with his policies as because all the people admire his cour­ age, his honesty, his unaffected, straightforward ways. Then there is no one who denies his high abilities, his qualities of leadership and initia­ tive. The Iroquois club of Chicago then did itself honor in forgetting politics and doing honor to Roosevelt, tbe pres­ ident of the American people, and in recognizing the worth of Roosevelt, the man, even when differing radically with Roosevelt, the republican. And the distinguished guest of the club was entirely true to himself in graciously accepting tbe honors which a democrat­ ic club heaped upon him. A Costly Luxury. If tbe legislature bad gotten right down to business from the beginning, passed the appropriation bills and ad­ journed, it would have accomplished practically all that is of general import­ ance to the people of Michigan. Of course there are some other things it m'ght have done .that would be worth while to do, such as tbe enacting of a genuine primary reform law and lhe passing of a home rule law for cities. But as it will not do these things, there is really nothing of general concern to be placed to its credit except the pass­ ing of appropriation bills. And this certainly might have been done in sixty days. But tbe law mak­ ers are still lingering about Lansing, frittering away time and running up a thousand dollar expense account every day they are in session, with little pros­ pect of final adjournment before some time in June. What are they doing all this time? Wrangling over a farcical primary election bill, and pothering with local bills. The former promises to amount to nothing and the latter might better be left to the localities concerned to settle themselves. Truly it costs the people of Michigan a pretty penny to maintain the luxury of a legislature! If the legislature of 1905 passes the idiotic primary election measure which it threatens to do, the legislature of 1907 will be democratic. The way to pass a primary reform bill is to pass a primary reform bill. ADDITIONAL LOCAL. The bass season open, Saturday. C. H. Thomas went to Port Huron Monday. Next week he goes to Ohio. John C.

Let me take Felice Boulanger (which isn’t her name) ns a typical French child of my experience, gained after nearly three years’ residence In France. She Is oue of five children ranging in age from her brother of sixteen to tbe youngest girl of six. Felice has a skin like the sheen of n pearl (which is marvelous considering the amount of Indigestible food she bolts five times a day); big, deerlike eyes, long lashed; daintily shaped but seldom clean hands; a thin, rasping and [letnlnnt voice even in her merriest mood, and a physique' like that of n starved and homeless cat —narrow chested, spider legged and stamlnalews generally. Yet she seems full of vitality—nervous, irritable vital­ ity—eats as much food ns an English navvy, and certainly has, ns my Ameri­ can lady friend says, “heaps of sense.” But to see the child eating Is painful, though interesting In a way. . An English girl of eleven years of age, like Felice, would be sent to bed at, say, 0 o’clock.

REFRIGERATORS $ In the year 1545 tbe owners of tbe vineyards of St. Julian, Savoy, France, solemnly took action in the law courts against a host of hungry caterpillars which bad played havoc with their vines. Tills grave matter was referred to arbitration and came In due course before the bishop as ecclesiastical judge. Two lawyers were retained In tbe in­ terest of the Insect rnvngers, letters ad­ monishing* them to discontinue their mischief were Issued, and a commis­ sion sat to estimate the damage done. The judge held that no hasty decision should be given, since it was possible that the caterpillars luid not acted ma­ liciously, but had been sent as a scourge. At tlje end of a year from the first proceeding* it was held that the farm­ ers must submit to the Infliction and pay all costs. After an interval of for­ ty-two years another army of caterpil­ lars Invaded the vineyards, another ac­ tion was brought, and It was decided that they were only exercising their le­ gal rights, while the owners were ad­ vised to provide a piece of land where they .might range nt will. » | J GOODYEAR BROS.

Manila, May 15.—Fierce lighting haa been going on for the last two weeks on the island of Jolo between the out­ law Moro chief, Paia, with GOO well armed followers and troops under iho personal command of Maj. Gen. Leon­ ard Wood. Paia’s losses thus far are 300 killed, while those of Gen. Wood are seven killed and nineteen wound­ ed.

Wood, with detachments from the Fourteenth cavalry, the Seven­ teenth, Twenty-second, Twenty-third Infantry -and constabulary scouts, has driven Paia nnd his followers into a swamp, which has been surrounded. Paia was a noted slave trader and warrior when the Americans occupied the islands.. Later he escaped with his followers to the island of Pula Sekar, near Borneo. One of Paia’s lead­ ers deserted and took refuge in the British settlement at Lahad. Paia, discovering hla whereabouts, landed with a following and demanded of the British magistrate that he turn the de­ serter over to him. The demand was not complied with and Paia ordered a massacre. Twer.ty-five persons, including several Brit­ ish, were killed.

EXECUTIVE BOARD TO MEET Opposition to General Tie-Up Is Said to Have Developed Among the Teamsters, Some of Whom Speak Vigorously on the Subject. Chicago, May 15.—Before plunging the city Into the chaos of a greater strike, lenders on both sides are hesi­ tating. The reactionary force still may avert a spread of the trouble. The team owners, who now hold the key to the situation, have determined to give the unions one more chance to retreat front their position. In the teamsters’ joint council, too, influ­ ences are said to be at work to end the strike. Rumors that lhe executive board of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters will be in session here to­ morrow were persistent during the day. They were denied by the local officials, but strongly supported by the team owners, who claimed to have se­ cret knowledge on this point. The executive board meeting, ** was said, has been called at the behest of two of its members, who have seats in the teamsters* joint council. These men, it Is declared, are radically op­ posed to spreading the strike, and at the-Saturday night session spoke vig­ orously against the stand taken by the council in answer to the ultimat­ um of the team owners’ committee. One of the hopeful signs was the action of the Ice wagon teamsters. After going Into the meeting at Brick­ layers’ halt fired with the strike fever, the Icemen at the end ot four hours’ discussion voted to accept the advice of their employers and accept the wage conditions of last year. Seeks to Limit Strike. In the hope of preventing a spread of the strike Mayor Dunne will form another commission, not to alm for peace, but to try to induce teamsters and team owners to keep the disturb­ ance within existing limits. Livery stable proprietors agreed, in the event of a failure of a last attempt at reasoning with their drivers, to or­ der them to land patrons at the boy­ cotted stores. Other developments were not so peaceful. Addressing the throng of union men who had attended the fu­ neral of George S. Pierce, Cornelius Shea, president of the teamsters, made an inflammatory appeal that sttered his followers to enthusiasm for their cause. There was a little rioting during the day and one of these led to a collision of a patrol wagon with a street car, in which a number ot people were hurt. • It is the plan of the team owners’ association to postpone final action un­ til after the meeting of the team­ sters* executive board. The team owners have not weaken­ ed in their determination to make de­ liveries. They still are prepared to force the issue. They prefer that the strike should end, but, in the other case, they are ready to join hands with the Employers’ association and attempt to break it Several large teaming contractors will not wait for a second answer from the union and will court strikes by beginning deliveries to the strike bound houses. A few were made on Saturday, and it is said that since last Thursday one contractor has been hauling goods secretly to Hibbard, Spencer, Bartlett t Co. Tsam Owners Hold the Key. Everything in the strike, it is be­ lieved. now binges upon the action of the Chicago Team Owners’ associa­ tion, the dominating organization in the teaming business of Chicago. In this light the statement of Secretary T. J. Cavanagh of the association is sighlflcanL “In one way," said Secretary Cav­ anagh, "the team owners have deliv­ ered their ultimatum to the union. In another, our visit to the teamsters’ joint council Saturday night, was merely an entering wedge driven home with a view of forcing the call­ Ing off of this strike. We asked to be allowed to make deliveries to the strike bound firms. If the teamsiers should permit this it would enable them to withdraw gracefully from the contest. Both sides have put up a good fight. Our chief aim is to re­ move the chips from the shoulders ot the two parties concerned and show them that nothing can be gained by continuing." Sure Peace Will Follow. There were Influential men In the team owners’ body who professed to know the trend of the discussion in the teamsters’ council meeting, nnd they were even more confident than Secretary Cavanagh that their •’force’’ efforts la the direction of peace will ultimately avail. "The teamsters’ meeting lasted four hours,” said one man, “and there was some strong opposition before the stand pat’ vole prevailed. There are two leaders—both of them members of lhe national executive board—at the head of the opposition. When the council meets again to-night the peace sentiment will have gained more ground, and at the succeeding session has a good chance to triumph." LIGHT OPERA SINGER DEAD AT CHICAGO Jessie Bartlett Davis Passes Away at Her Home After Sudden Attack of Illness. Chicago, May 15.—Jessie Bartlett Davis died early Sunday al her resi­ dence, 4740 Grand boulevard. Her death was sudden, the Illness preced­ ing It being but two days In dura­ tion. Mrs. Davis had been keeping her engagements on the vaudeville stage during most of the season and was in good health uni 11 last Thursday, when she became 111 suddenly.

NEW SCHEME TO AID THE POOR Indiana Woman Finds Means of Giv­ ing Help During Summer. Muncie, Ind., May 15.—Misj Marie Prothero, secretary of the Associated Charities, has inaugurated a new sys­ tem whereby many of the poor fam­ ilies of the city and suburbs will be able to help themselves to a great ex­ tent during the present summer. The young woman, who has been working among the poor for several years, ob­ tained an Immense supply of garden seeds of various kinds, together with plants, and has distributed them among the poor with instructions to have them planted. The action has brought on a great demand for this nature of assistance from the poor of the city, and many who have good sized lots will be able to have them under cultivation and reap great ben­ efit therefrom.

GET SUPPLIES AT KAMRANH Alleges Promise to Quit French Waters by May 3 Were Not Kept, Czar's Vessels Being in the Bay Five Days Later. Tokio, May 15.—Detailed confirma­ tory Information concerning Vice ’Ad­ miral Rojestvensky's use of Indo­ china waters has reached the Japa­ nese government from a variety of sources, both official and private. A high Japanese official sketched tbe im­ portant acts of the Russian fleet since France was first moved to preserve neutrality. He said: "The governor general ot Indo-China officially reported that the Russian fleet had entirely departed from Kamranh bay on April 22, but on April 23 there still remained in the bay one cruiser, one torpedo boat destroyer, and fifteen transports of the Russian fleet Rsentsr Kamranh Bay. “On April 24 the entire Russian fleet reentered Kamranh bay and rode at anchor until April 26, when a majority of the warships sailed, leaving behind four converted cruisers and one tor­ pedo boat destroyer. These latter ves­ sels took supplies of coal and provis­ ions. On April 26, -toward evening, these vessels stopped and examined the German steamer Loosok and the Norwegian steamer Providence, which passed outside of the bay. On April 27 more than thirty Russian vessels were anchored at Honkohe, and at 5 o'clock in the afternoon they stopped and examined the British steamer Stettin, which was passing. Promise Is Not Kept. “According to the French official re­ port Vice Admiral Rojestvensky prom­ ised Admiral de Jonquieres that be would leave Honkohe on May 3. It is evident, however, that the Russians were anchored al Honkohe on May 8. "The latest telegrams from Indo5 Chinn indicate the presence at Hon­ kohe oa May 12 of seven Russian battleships, seven cruisers, two tor­ pedo boat destroyers, and four con­ verted cruisers. “Since the appearance of tbe Rus­ sian fleet in the far east, Saigon has become a base for the transportation of military supplies for Vice Admiral Rojestvensky’s fleet. The number of vessels furnishing supplies to the Rus­ sians is so great that those which were anchored at Saigon on May 5 were counted by tens.” . Russians Moving North. Paris, May 15.—A dispatch from Saigon to the Petit Journal says a steamer from Turan, sighted on May 12 fourteen transports escorted by two Russian warships, south of Hainan Island. They subsequently anchored in Yulin bay. The steamer later passed the main Russian squadron steaming north at a moderate speed. Japs Land Troops. Chefoo, May 15.—It is rumored that the Japanese have landed 30,000 troops at Gensan and that large quan­ tities of military stores have been landed recently at Pukcheng. Mine May Have Damaged Ship. Washington, May 15.—While officii] confirmation ot the report that the battleship Mikasa, flagship of Admiral Togo, was badly damaged off the Pes­ cadores has not been received in Washington, certain Information is in possession of the authorities which in­ dicates there may be truth in IL The current running by the Pescadores is swift and It is easily conceivable that a mine planted within the three-mile limit could have gotten loose and floated out to a point where tbe Mi­ kasa was cruising. If thia ship was damaged by a mine some weeks must elapse before it can be repaired. POMPEIIAN RICHES ARE FOUND Excavations Reveal Ancient Articles of Jewelry of Great Value. Rome, May 15.—Excavations near Pompeii have resulted in the finding of a human skeleton and near by four solid gold bracelets of beautiful de­ sign set with emeralds, a pair of large oriental pearl earrings, two golden necklaces set with pearls and emeralds and two emerald rings. The articles of jewelry being of the Roman-Pompeilnn epoch, are of great ar­ tistic value. Gives Life to Save Sons.

Every line of his six feet of robust manhood spoke more eloquently than words bls utter weariness of soul. Three months before when the boss had called him into his otllee nnd after a few complimentary remarks had placed him tn charge of a construction gang known ns the "bud job" of the road he had bulled the opportunity with joy. The road wished to construct a short spur into Mexico to afford im outlet for some sliver mines. When the concession bad been secured from the Mexican government one of the conditions bud been that the labor should be done by the natives of the region through which the line was to be constructed. This bad seemed a simple matter, but two years had now passed, and the work was far from finished. One mau after another had been sent to take charge of the work, and with the great­ est regularity they had asked for n change of work at the end of the first month. In case tills request was not granted they had promptly resigned to seek sendee with another company. "Mr. Maxwell," bis chief bad said, "1 want you to take charge of that work and get It out somehow and some time. 1 should advise you by way of equipment for the undertaking to take along tbe biggest six shooter that you cau get" When Bud had reached the construc­ tion camp be bad found it deserted. He went buck to the little town of Rlgus and recruited a gang of some twenty men. Everything moved along peacefully until Saturday ulgbt; then they all bade him a respectful "ndlos” and started back toward Higas. Ex­ postulation was in vain. Why should they work longer? Had they not earn­ ed the remarkable wages of $1.50 for each of six days? And was that not enough to support themselves and their familles in plenty for weeks to come? No, no. they would not work any more. Bo they all left except Tomnsso, tbe combined engineer and fireman, who bud once served on a yard engine In St. Louis and bad acquired a more abiding taste for work. Bud seated himself on a deserted bunk and thought the situation over ' ORIGIN OF LLOYD’S. Hnnlile Bexinulna of Kniojw’i Great Maritime AKeucy. Two centuries ngo n mnn who ban a cargo to send to the Mediterranean contrived to get rid of some of the risk by inducing a friend to take nu luterest with him. It was necessary to write out a statement of contract to which the guarantors subscribed. This was tbe first underwriting. These two men happened to be frequenters of Lloyd’s coffee house in London, which was a favorite place tur the merchants of the town to gather re discuss business or to gossip. Others immediately saw the advan­ tage of the scheme which their col­ leagues had devised, and on the next voyage the risk was parceled out among a lni*ger number of the patrons of tlie coffee house. Out of this small beginning inis grown the great European maritime agency, still bearing tbe name of the humble coffee house proprietor, and wliich not only writes risks on vessels, but rates them and publishes their ar­ rivals nt every port the world over, no matter bow small or how remotely sit­ uated.—From 'The Annals of tbc American Academy.” Modrat Cn«rlty.

A blind num and a spaniel dog lead­ ing him with the aid of chain furnished a curious sight on Chestnut street the other day. Pedestrinus looked on In amazement, nnd many followed the blind man and his friend to see If any­ thing curious would happen when they reached a street crosslug. Strange enough, the dog barked when the curb­ stone was reached nnd in that way In­ formed the blind num that be should be careful and step down.—Phllfidclphla Press. ■be, being a twentieth century Ere. knew that he wanted to say. But now Bud was utterly and abject­ ly disheartened. Cerves, tbe local dis­ penser of liquid refreshments, at lust Lad discovered why his week day stiles bud become so ridiculously small, and so one Sundiiy evening Bud was una­ ble to recruit his gung of laborers In tbe usual manner. Instead of sleeping off the effects of their potations in the rear of the hotel, according to tbe es­ tablished custom of tlie place, they were nil securely dlsi>ostd In Cerves* cellar under lock and key, where the Americano could not get them. Bud threatened, be demanded, lie even of­ fered bribes of money, but It was in vain. Cerves was not quick to get an idea, but when once be bad one lodged firmly in his head nothing could dis­ place It. It must be left to die of old age. So Bud went to see Marla and poured the whole tale of his woes Into her sympatlietlc ears. All Monday forenoon he sat gloomily In his tent and wondered bow he should word bis resignation. It was all up— another flunk—a job lost and a girl with It But shortly after noon there came a diversion. A group of very much excited men arrived from Higas and demanded that be put them to work immediately. He complied at once and did not Insult kind fortune by asking the reason for this sudden enthusiasm for work. But In the even­ ing be received an answer to the un­ asked question, nnd It plunged him Into tbe depths of despair once more. Maria had announced that at last she was ready to moke a choice from among her many suitors. IMien the road was completed she would marry the one who bad worked tbe most faithfully. Dny after day tlie work continued with unabated ardor, and at last It was finished. Tbe first train bad run over It and bad brought to Bud a letter from tbe superintendent of construction In which many complimentary things were said. Little cared Bud for high flown phrases. It was all over, and to­ morrow some greaser would be made happy by tbe prettiest girl In Mexico. From force of habit, however, be wan­ dered toward Tomasso's little garden. “Is tbe Signor Bud so lost In rev­ erie”— "Oh, I beg your pardon, Maria. Yes, I was pretty busy thinking.” "And will the Signor Bud barter bis thoughts for a penny?’ “Barter them for a penny! Good Lord! I guess you know what they are. Tm wondering which one of those ev­ er—fellows worked bard enough to please you.” She disregarded tbe Implied question. "Are not tbe Americans a wonderful people? They do so many marvelous things!” He looked at her stupidly and said nothing. "Tlielr Industry makes me quite ashamed of our poor Mexicans." "Yes, yes, that's all true. I’m proud of my people and all of that, but, Marin, I’m naturally anxious to know whom"— "But, Signor Bud, they’re such an awfully stupid people”’ And her pretty eyes filled with the tears of vexation. In an Instant comprehension broke over him. "Mnriu, dearest girl, you mean"— "I mean that 1 love you nnd that I ■ball surely die If you go away nnd leave me.” Mr. Maxwell, present superintendent of construction of tbe X. and Y. road, occasionally amuses bls friends by tell­ ing how half a hundred ferocious chal­ lenges were answered by as many wed­ ding Invitations. I ■ He sat so long that Tomasso, mildly solicitous, ventured to suggest to him that it was very multlssiiua late. "Tomasso, what are those greasers doing over nt Higas?” "La vina, signor.” "Talk American, Tomasso." "In American—the booze." "Thought so! Tomasso, I've got an idea." Tomasso was politely curious. "If 1 get those fellows out here they will stay another week, won’t they? 1 beard something about its being bad luck to stop In the middle of the week.” Tomasso thought they would stay. In fact, he was sure they would. ’ Late Sunday evening Bud’s plan took shaire. Tbe old engine was cou­ pled to a flat car and backed down to Higas. Bud disappeared in the rear of the hotel and soon reappeared, bear­ ing a very limp nnd passive citizen of that metropolis in bls arms. He de­ posited bls burden on the ear and then reiieated the trip. In a short time his working force was complete, and Tomasso received orders tu steam back to the camp. A' very satisfac­ tory amount of work was done that week and during each of a number of succeeding weeks, thanks to a con­ tinued desecration of Sunday evening siestas. There remained only a few miles of road to complete, and Bud was feeling much encouraged. The successful com­ pletion of V:e work meant promotion for him, a ttootl salary, and, besides, when he L id a good position and— well, Toinns.-o’s daughter, Marin, was, to say the l.-nst a mighty pretty girl She had been away to school some- ; real "English" again. She did so like I to talk English. Bud rather enjoyed It, too, and as n result they talked English I i to such effect that on several occasions ! I he was perilously near to overcoming I a colons! basbfnltjess and saying what i They were discussing charity In the drawing room, and one ot the gentle­ men was inveighing with some sarcasm against benevolent folk who make do­ nations nnd bare their names publish­ ed in the papers. "Nearly all chari­ table acts,” he snid eloquently, "bare pride or vanitj- os their motive. For my part I bate ostentation. I remem­ ber once, when I was traveling through a part ot the country where I was not known, I came upon a louely little station where lu the waiting room there was fastened to the wall a con­ tribution box for the benefit of the sufferers through recent inundations. There was not a soul there, not a per­ son iu tho neighborhood know of my presence or was acquainted with my name, and I went and drojiped a gold piece into the box nnd slipped away unseen. Now, sir, what I contend Is that my secret offering was a more meritorious one then If It bad been made on a public subscription list with a loud flourish of trumpets.” "You are right," said a listener. "That was genuine modest charity, and I don't wonder you brag of it.” . Why He Mla»ed the Lynching. At a dinner In London on one occa­ sion the conversation turned on the subject of lynchings In the United States. It was the general opinion that a rope was the chief end of a man in America. Finally tbe hostess turned to an American who bad taken no part lu the conversation and said, "You, sir, must often have seen these affairs. ’ "Yes,” he replied, “we take a kind of municipal pride in swing which city enn show the greatest number of lynch­ ings yearly. The ulgbt before I sailed for England I was giving a dinner to a party of Intimate friends when a col­ ored waiter spilled a plate of soup over tho gown of n lady nt an adjoining ta­ ble. Tlie gown was utterly ruined, and tho gentlemen of her party at once seized the waiter, tied a rope around his neck nnd at a signal from the In­ jured lady swung hhn Into the air. ’ ••Horrible!” said the hostess, with a shudder. "Anil did you actually see this yourself?” "Well, no." said the American apologetically.

' Tho founding of the Epworth League was consummated in the city of Cleve­ land sixteen years ago and last Sunday evening that event was celebrated by tbe local Chapter in common with all the chapters in the country. The league dispensed with its reg­ ular meeting in tbe parlors at G:30 o’clock, the evening church service be­ ing devoted to appropriate anniversary exercises. After several songs the newly elect.ed officers were installed which cere­ mony was followed by a number of in­ teresting papers, fitting to the occa­ sion. Edwin Smith told what tbe league bad accomplished during the past year; Miss Grace Pryor gave an account of the “Origin and Growth of the Epworth League”; Mrs. George Heath-read a paper on the official pa­ per of the order, “The Epworth Her­ ald**; Miss Edith Lombard gave a his­ tory of lhe local Chapter; Edward Waite read a paper, “The Whole Wide World for Jesus,” and also a letter from Rockwell and Charlotte Clancey, missionaries In India, who are main­ tained there by tbe league; and Miss ■ Charlotte Lake closed the program with a paper on “Methods of Mercy aud Help." Denied Motion For Alimony. Judge Perkins has denied the motion •of Attorney N. P. Allen for temporary alimony for Ida B. Barnhart from Jacob C. Barnhart of Battle Creek, against whom she has started divorce proceed­ ings. Attorney Walter Powers, on be­ half of lhe defendant, introduced affi­ davits from Fred W. Walker, Frank R. Pancoast, Allen Jones and Mn. Maye Fisher, ail, of Hastings, all of whom swore that Mrs. Barnhart had resided in Hastings for more than two years. The affidavits set forth that her name appears on the Hastings directory as Mrs. John Billington and that she had lived with John Billington as husband and wife at 520 Broadway. A copy of, a marriage certificate was produced showing that Ida Belle Fisher, aged 16, was married on Dec. 11, 1883, to George B. Howe at Batavia, Mich. Barnhart swears this is the woman whom he married later without knowl­ edge that she had a busband living, from whom she was not divorced.— Tuesday’s Grand Rapids Press. Memorial Day.

Invite the citizens and school children lo fittingly observe this sacred day by attending the exercises and uniting with us in memorial services. The G. A.

Let Memorial Day be observed as an inspiration to a higher ideal of Ameri­ can valor, n more sacred reverence for those who offered their lives for their country. Wm. Ream, Commander G. A. R. New Time Card Went Into Effect Sunday. As previously announced by the Herald, an iiu|>oriant change in time went into effect on the Michigan Cen­ tral last Sunday. So far as this divis­ ion of the road is concerned it can hardly be said that the service islocally improved by tlie change. The early morning train west, which has run as a mixed train for years and which was' due here at 5:05 a. in., has been made a straight passenger, mail and express train, going through Hastings at 5:20 a. m. It is fifteen minutes later than tho old train and arrives in Grand Rap­ ids ten minutes earlier. Thus it will be an improvement on the former ser­ vice. But lb is improvement is more than offset by lhe taking off of the local train that was due here at 8:50, which was a very convenient train for those who wanted to do business in Grand Rapids. However, there is another train at 12:31 which reaches Crand Rapids in lime to have most of lhe afternoon in that city and get back at 0:23 p. in. The other west bound train, No. 105, t ikes the place of No. 10", and runs on the old schedule, being due here at 9:38 p. m. Of lhe east bound trains, the late, mixed train that formerly left Grand Rapids at 11:30 p, m. and was due here at 1:00 a.m. leaves at the same Lime and manages to kill 20 minutes more time in getting this far on Ih light­ ning career, being scheduled for Hast­ ings at 1:20 a. m. No. 102 is not chang­ ed, passing this station at 7:47 a. m. Also No. 101 due here al 6:23 p. m. is the same as before. The most important change is lhe fast train, No. 108, formerly leaving G rand Rapids at 12:00 o’clock noon, now leaves at 11:10 a. m. and makes tbe run to Hastings in 43 minutes, being due here at 11:53. This is a line train, con­ sisting of a New York sleeper, a combi­ nation coach and cafe, and a combina­ tion baggage and smoking car. At Jackson this train connects with the “Wolverine Limited,” the fastest long distance train in tbe country, the New York sleeper and combination coach being attached to that splendid train. At Detroit a sleeper from Bay City and Saginaw is added, and thus made up this train crosses the river and rushes through Canada at a schedule rate of mere than a mile a minute. At Buffalo tho New York Central takes the train and rushes it into the Grand Central station at New York City at 8:00 o’clock tbe next morning. The “Wolverine" leaves Chicago at 8:45 a. m., made up of a through sleep­ er, combination library and buffot car, with barber shops and bath, a combina­ tion baggage and smoker, day coach, and an exclusive smoker, leather up­ holstered, at the roar. The mails are carried by the same trains as before, the fast train not carrying mall. THE PROGRAM FOR FIELD DAY Preparations For the Usual Events June 3rd.

Alice Gaskill, the former Nashville school teacher and erstwhile stenographer to Clarence M. Welch, remains faithful to “Papa" since his incarceration in the county jail for failure to furnish the 81,000 bail bond that he will support his son by Nina E. Cavan. in accordance with theidecislon of Judge Wolcott In the circuit court. She is dissatisfied with Sheriff Carroll’s rules for managing the hostile and has given him some suggestions for amend­ ing his rules.. The friction between Miss Gaskill and the sheriff arose in this manner: She has not taken kindly to tlie rule limiting visitors to see their friends be­ hind Lhe bars on Fridays only. Last Friday when Miss Gaskill had remained seated for an hour and a half in the corridor in conversation with the form­ er preacher in his cell, she was in­ formed by Turnkey Taylor that she must not tarry longer. She swep*, out very indignantly and straightway sought tbe sheriff. She received little consolation, as the sheriff told her that he thought sho hud been permitted to remain long enough. Miss Gaskill then took Sheriff Carroll to task for opening Welch’s mail. ‘ Wo intend to keep posted on what is going on in the jail," was the sher­ iff’s reply. “We will continue tho cus­ tom of learning what information is be­ ing convoyed to prisoners through the malls. While Welch is a prisoner here he will be treated just the same as oth­ er inmates.” Don’t you know you have been violat­ ing the jail rules by bringing him writ­ ten messages?" said the sheriff. “I didn't know that was contrary to the discipline of the jail," she replied. So for as known Welch is making no effort to furnish the bond that would bring him liberty. He maintains a taciturn attitude, spending much of his time in playing cards.—Tuesday’s Grand Rapids Press.

Ib No Article of Attire Hart More Vavnrlea Dre« Miowa. Shoes or their equivalent are of a eertalnty even more ancient than gloves, for they were a necessity ot lo­ comotion, while the other was but a luxury. Sometimes they were made of skins, sometimes of papyrus, as in Egypt. Often tliey were glided and decked with Jewels, nnd the meet ex­ pert artists of the day were employed to decorate the foot coverings of wealthy patricians, consuls, emperors and their favorites. In no article of at­ tire have more vagaries been shown. Today n indy who desires to be consid­ ered In the height of fashion wears shoes pointed ns much as possible, but In the time of Queen Mary the taste was all the other way. and It was found necessary to Issue a royal procla­ mation prohibiting shoes with toes wider than six inches. But perhaps the most extraordinary development In the way of footgear were the "cbopines" in­ troduced by the Indies of Venice to make themselves taller than they really were. The articles were really a kind of stilts made ot wood and leather and sometimes reached the absurd height of twelve inches.

(From Our Regular Correapoadetr.) Washington, D. C., May 10, 1905. Has President Roosevelt entered the wedgo for a split in his party which will rend it wide asundsr? This is the question which is being discussed wherever politicians, or even business­ men, arc gathered together in Wash­ ington and, judging by the reports, In business houses and clubs all over the country. If one listens for a few moments to a group of £tand patters, as a they are culled who rigidly oppose any change of the tariff schedules, he will be convinced that the republican party is doomed lo disruption and defeat and their reasoning is not surprising. As the servants of the highly protected In­ dustries all over the country, republi­ cans in congress have been diligently opposing every move towards lowering the tariff schedules and have denied, with haughty indifference to facts, that American manufacturers were selling their products abroad for prices far be­ low those charged in this country. They have refused to listen to the peo­ ple who have read the last democratic campaign book and who there saw a long list of articles with two prices op­ posite each, one the price charged the foreigner tbe other the price charged the American for the same article and with a difference of about 50 per cent in favor of the foreigner. Now the American public is Informed that tho claims of the democrats are ab­ solutely correct; that two ships which the Panama Canal commission wished to buy were priced at $1,400,000 in this country, while identical chips, con­ structed of steel plates made by the American Steel Trust, could be bought in Europe for 9750,000; that the domes­ tic price of steel rails is 933 a ton and the foreign price for the same rails, with freight prepaid to Europe Is 920 a ton, and, incidentally, that the cost of the rails is only 912 n ton: that “the protected hogs have their hind feet in the trough” and that it is high time they were taught a -lesson: that the tariff shelters monopoly and that, in n word, the American consumer is being robbed. And the informant of the American people un all these points is none other than President Roosevelt, the leader of t lie republican party. Is it any wonder thul lhe f-tund palters see defeat aheud; that they foresee their own doom for the reason that they have always b -en elected by the cumpalgu eoi tribo'Ions of the trusts and ---------- —------------------- -- ---------- ------ fleet Comb Syrup. i Good. C> now that the parly of which they uro members must follow its leader and elect to congress men who will vote for tariff revision, their reason for being has ceased? It all came about in this way. The president discovered that the Panama Canal Commission, was being robbed by a combination of American trusts: that, as tbe democrats have always claimed, the tariff has created monopo­ lies which were so bold as to try to rob the government which by its favoritism has creat'd them and as ungrateful as the viper which stung the bosom that cherished it. When rumors of thiscondition of affairs first reached iho presi­ dent he did not believe them, but ho began an Investigation. First he de­ termined to get rid of Admiral Walker, chairman of tbe uld coinmicsion. Con­ gress, that is a few leaders io congress, killed tbe bill that gave the president authority to reorganize the Panama Canal Commission but the resourceful president "found a way.” When he had gotten rid of Walker and the old ximmissioo he placed men whom h< know io charge and told them to report tbe facts to him. When they made their report he found that the rumors were true and he became angry and usod strenuous—not strong—but strenuous language, referred to Lhe trusts us hogs who had put not alone their fore feet but all four feet into the trough, etc., and then he rendered his now famous decision that tbe commission should either compel the American trusts to grant their largest foreign discount or else buy the machinery and supplies for the canal abroad. The president Is a protectionist, but he does not believe in the perpetuation of schedules which will allow of extortion and he Is con­ vinced that many of the Dlngley sched­ ules do that. The stand patters are using every ef­ fort to defeat the intent of the presi- j dent. They have spread unwarranted stories to tbe effect that he purposes to load up the commission before congress can meet and pass a law compelling the purchase of only American made goods at American trust prices for tbe canal. This is not true. The president will do nothing of the kind. He bos merely instructed the commission to make such purchases as are necessary abroad if tbe Americans will not make their prices right, but he knows full well that the Americans .will make their prices right when they are compelled, to do so. There Is a very Important investiga­ tion going on in Washington of tbe re­ spective charges against Assistant of State Loomis and Herbert W. Bowen, former minister to Venezuela. Tbe in­ dications now are that Minister Bowen will be dropped from the diplomatic service for bls lack of discretion. Tho fate of Secretary Loomis Is still unde­ cided. Tbe entire investigation is eclipsed, however, by the tariff ques­ tion, but it will keep and In a future letter the importance of tbe investiga­ tion and tbe ramifications of its bear­ ings will be explained. Terrific Race With Death. •‘Death was fast approaching,” writes Ralph F. Fernandez of Tampa, Fla., describing bls fearful race with dealb, "as a result of liver trouble and heart disease, which had robbed me of sleep and of all interest in life. 1 had tried many different doctors and several medicines, but got no benefit until I began to use Electric Bitters.

"The Three /lost Beautiful Roses,” By Paul de Longpre. At tho urgent solicitation of the Wo­ man’s Homo Companion, Mr. Paul de Longpre, who Is the greatest painter of flowers In the world, consented to make a painting of what he considered "the three most beautiful roses," and the painting is without doubt ono of tbe masterpieces of this great artist. This magnificent picture is reproduced In all its original grandeur on the cover of the Woman’s Home Companion for ■lune. Although this cover is an ac­ curate reproduction of a painting worth hundreds of dollars, yet the June number, which has this exquisite cover, may be obtained at any firstclass news stand or direct from the publishers for the trivial sum of only ten cents. Mr. Paul de Longpre is justly styled the "King of Flower Painters.” He not only paints roses, but every flower that grows, and is the highest author­ ity on flowers. His paintings are found in tbe most select homes. Some have sold for as much as 87,500.00. Artists, art critics and competent judges all agree chat the covers of the Woman’s Home Companion far excel tboee of any other magazine. The Woman's Home Companion is a magazine which in beauty and excel­ lence, art, stories, illustrations and fashions, etc., excels all other home and family magazines. The Woman's Home Companion is published by Tbe Crowell Publishing Company, New York City, also Chicago, Ill., at one dollar a year, and Is the favorite maga­ zine in nearly half a million homes, where it is read each and every issue by three million people.

HASTINGS HERMLD C. F. FIELD, Editor and Proprietor. An Important Decision. The railroads in Michigan must pay their taxes on the same basis as other property. At least that is the purport of the decision given by Judge Wanty of the United States circuit court at Grand Rapids last Friday. It is justly considered the most important decision ever handed down by a federal court in Michigan and a great victory for the state. Whether Judge Wanty’s findings will stand tbe test of a review by the supreme court remains to be seen. •Undoubtedly tbe railroads will appeal the case to that tribunal and continue their fight against tbe Michi­ gan law until the bitter end. It will be remembered that tbe legis­ lature of 1001 passed an act providing for the taxation of railroads on tbe ad valorem basis the same as general property. This was strenuously ob­ jected to by the railroad corporations on the ground that such taxation would be unjust discrimination against them because, as they alleged, their proper­ ty was assessed higher than other property, and because the law discrim­ inated against them, contrary to the fourteenth amendment of the constitu­ tion. And so they applied to tbe courts for an injunction restraining tbe audi­ tor general from proceeding against them for the collection of the tax. The case has naturally been fought with great zeal and ability on both sides, and has attracted much atten­ tion, as it involved not only millions of dollars in money but a very important principle, applicable In other states as well as in Michigan. From the outline published cf Judge Wanty’s decision he appears to have decided against tbe railroads in every important contention they have made. He upholds the state law as constitutional and just and de­ nies the petition of the railroads for an injunction. Under this decision if it is upheld by the supreme court the railroads will be compelled to pay over 84,000,000 in back taxes, besides one per cent a month in interest. The primary school interest fund will be enriched by this decision two million dollars a year. Evidently the decision is a great vic­ tory for the state and a vindication of the principle that a state has a right to prescribe the manner of taxation that shall prevail within its jurisdiction, even when dealing with railroads. Tbe judge pointed out in bls decision that if any unfair discrimination is practiced against tbe railroad proper­ ties, the remedy lies In tbe courts of equity. . The attorney-general’s department, especially former Attorney-General Blair, and tbe lawyers retained by the state,, with Loyal E. Knappen of Grand Rapids at their head, bare done the state a valuable service and are entitled to much credit for their successful man­ agement of tbe people’s interests in this exceedingly important litigation. He Has Stirred Up the Leaders. President Roosevelt has ’given an­ other demonstration of his bold and in­ dependent spirit that is absolutely startling to tbe leaders of bls party. Indeed, he has committed rank treason to the cause of protection, and made himself a subject for expulsion from the fold of tbe faithful who burn con­ tinual incense before the sacred altar of protection. He has committed this offense In connection with a business transaction in which the government is engaged, tbe building of the Panama canal. Not wishing to pay exorbitant prices for material to be used in tbe construction of this great work, nor to be held up and robbed by the ship building corporations of this country the president has simply observed good business sense in ordering tbe canal commission to purchase supplies in tbe cheapest market and to buy ships abroad to operate in connection with the Panama railroad now to be operated by the United States government. But although tbe president has given this order in tbe interests of economy he has thereby endangered tbe cardinal doctrine of bls party. For how can the party leaders hold up be­ fore the country the ineffable blessings of protection and tbe sacred duty of preserving the doctrine from interfer­ ence or change In the slightest degree, if the government itself sets the ex­ ample of violating Its principles? It is plain that from the standpoint of the protectionists, President Roosevelt und Secretary Taft have done a dreadful thing in thus admitting the fallibility of tbe party’s leading principle, and it is no wonder that Senator Aldrich will hurry home from Europe and summon a council of tbe congressional leaders in Washington to see what can be done to avert the threatened danger. It looks very much as if the presi­ dent, convinced that the next congress will do nothing towards revising the tariff unless forced to, has taken this method to compel tbe national legisla­ ture to do something in the line of re­ forming the iniquities of the present tariff law. He undoubtedly Is con­ vinced that the country wants tariff re­ vision and it may well be that the building of the canal is giving him an opportunity to force a reluctant con­ J. L.

This company is building a magnificent new passenger depot io Washington. Don did not know just what his work was to be when he left, but it is worth while to obtain a posi­ tion with this company as it will be likely to lead to promotion. The pro­ fessors in lhe engineering department at the university advised him by all means to accept the place, and Ids do­ ing so will not interfere with his grad­ uating, as he has sufficient work to his credit to entitle him to his degree.

Does It Point to Foul Play? Good Health to the Children Children especially are fond of dainties, and the housekeeper must look carefully to their food. . As good cake can be made only with good eggs, so also a cake that is health­ ful as well as dainty must be raised with a pure and perfect baking powder. Royal Baking Powder is indispensable in the preparation of the highest quality of food.

The prize declam itory contest which was given in the high school room. Fri­ day evening, was a success, both in point nf attendance and. in the work of ■ tbe contestants. For many of the lat­ ter it was their first effort and it mu-l be said to their credit that they nil ac­ quitted themselves nobly. The exorcises were opened by prayer by Fr. Connors which was followed by a piano duet by the Misses Pancoast and Warner. Then came the declama­ tions which were interspersed with mu­ sic. A chorus of twenty-five or thirty little girls under the direction of* Miss Brumm attested to tho fine work being 'done in our schools in this department. Miss Maude Smith sang a solo for which she was heartily encored. The most noteworthy feature of this part of the program, on account of its first ap­ pearance, was tbe playing of the school orchestra which was unusually good, and was greatly appreciated by the au­ dience which occupied all tbe seats. Tbe judges were J. C. Ketcham, Lee H. Pryor, and Mrs. W. R. Cook, who awarded the prizes as follows: Miss Elmira Rule, first; John Nobles sec­ ond; and Crystal Barber, third. The - prizes were *5.00, *3.00 and *2.00 re­ spectively. <iets Seventy Days In Detroit House of Correction. Circuit court convened Monday morn­ ing, and the calendar was disposed of, all of the jury cases going over to the September term. This means that there will be no coses of Importance this term. The most interesting feature of Mon­ day’s session was the appearance of Ex-State Senator Geo. E. Nichols of Ionia for trial for perjury, Judge Wol­ cott of the Kent county circuit having transferred the case to this circuit. The case was continued to next term, however, as neither the defense nor the prosecution were ready. Will Sall Next Tuesday.

Thomas Fulley, who lives near Belle- I vue. was in the city Tuesday and told , the sheriff of the finding of a bundle of clothes on his farm in the southwest corner of Sec. 1, Assyria, whose signi­ ficance is somewhat of a mystery.

There was a coat, two vestsand four shirts, the latter lying in a pile by themselves. Ono of them was turned wrong side out as if some­ one had taken it off in a hurry and in the collar band were two gold plated collar buttons. One of the shirts was a fine one and had not been worn since being laundered. There was also found a maple stick about two feel long and about the middle was tied a polka dot handkerchk-f.

Memorial Day Exercises. Memorial day was fittingly observed Tuesday by Fitzgerald Post and by the citizens of Hastings in general. In the morning the Post marched to the cem­ etery and decorated the graves of their departed comrades. In the afternoon the usual memorial day exercises were held at the fair grounds and a good sized crowd turned, out to the program. After prayer by Rev. S. B. Crandell and music by the quartet, Rev. B. F. Fritz read Lin­ coln's Gettysburg address. After a solo by F. S. Spaulding and a reading by Miss Vlnnie Ream, Rev. Arthur Trott delivered the memorial day ad­ dress, taking ns his subject “The American Soldier.” In a ver., inter­ esting manner he analyzed him, pick­ ing out his characteristics of strength. Tills was followed by the reading of a prizx* essay by Miss Helen Fritz, who was the only one to compete and who, therefore, was awarded first prize. After music by the* quartet, the audi­ ence was dismissed by prayer by Rev. H. H. VanAuken. Death of David Trego. David R. Trego, who retired from bis long continued services as eight watch over the business district of this city a few weeks ago ua account of fail­ ing health, passed away last Saturday. Mr. Trego was born in Georgetown, Pa., Sept., Sept. 27, 1835. He moved with hh parents to Irving, this county, in May 1849. In 1802 be enlisted and served three years in the civil war. On Feb. 20,1873 he married Miss Rose Matthews of Irving. Three children were born of this union, Mrs. Maud Gardner, Mrs. Mabel Brooks and Fred Trego, all of whom survive. The fam­ ily lived on the farm in Rutland ten years mnd then removed to this city. For the past thirteen years Mr. Trego has filled the position of night watch. His death was due to acute bronchitis. The funeral was held Monday after­ noon and was largely attended, Rev. Arthur Trott officiating, assisted by Rev. N. D. Marsh of Charlotte. The interment was in the now cemetery on the north side. Among those from out of town who attended the funeral were Mr. and Mrs. John Scott, Mr. and Mrs. E. E. Lamoreaux and Dr. Matthews of Grand Rapids. For some time past the Methodists have been agitating the question whether to build a new parsonage or not, and Monday evening it was decid­ ed to go ahead at once with the con­ struction of a new one. The old par­ sonage has been built a gre ’t, many years and had reached a stage where further repairs on it seemed like money thrown away. The old building will be sold and moved away in a short time, and the construction of a new, modern structure in its place begun within a few weeks. As yet the plans have not been agreed upon but the new parsonage will be built of brick so that in case of the erection of a new church the two will correspond so far os material is con­ cerned.

HASTINGS HERHLD C. F. FIELD. Editor and Proprietor. The Great Battle on the Sea. Ws The great battle between the Japan­ ese and Russian fleets for which the world has been looking the last week has taken place and Russia has met with another crushing defeat. Twenty* two of her warships hare either been captured or sunk, Admiral Nebogatoff and about GOOD other Russians taken prisoners, and the rest ot Rojestven­ sky's great array of naval vessels scat­ tered and fugitive. Seldom in tho world’s history has such a sweeping victory been won upon the water. • What will be the result of Togo’s brilliant success? Will it end the war? These are the questions uppermost in men’s minds os they read of thestirring events that have taken place in the Korean straits during the post week. Surely, Russia’s power upon the sea is utterly and hopelessly broken. She has indeed a fourth squadron in reserve which she has been preparing to send to the scene of action, but it would be maduess for this remnant of naval power to be sent to the same inevitable fate that has overtaken Rojestvensky’s fleet, and it does not seem likely that such a suicidal policy will be followed. Togo’s achievement has made Japan supreme upon the eastern seas. The only possible hope for Russia is to con­ tinue tbe war upon the land. She still has an immense army in Manchuria. But that army has been beaten in every engagement it has fought, and there seems little ground for believing that it can retrieve the unbroken series of defeats it has suffered at the hands of a vigilant, tireless, and seemingly irresistible enemy. What then can Russia do but make pence? No doubt the czar can go on indefinitely sending men to Manchuria to keep up the show of resistance, provided his subjects do not rise en masse and insist that the war be stopped. But there must be a limit even to his stubborn pride and a feeling even in his autocratic mind that the sacrifice is too dreadful to be con­ tinued, the price of the military pres­ tige which he is trying to save too great even for an absolute monarch to pay. Then there must be a limit to the pa­ tience even of the meek and long suf­ fering masses of Russia, and it way ' well be that this limit has been reach­ ed. If therefore, these influences at home combine with the compelling events in the far east to make for ’peace, even the czar aud bls fatuous advisers will have to submit, and peace will follow. The big naval battle will surely bring peace or continuance of the hopeless strife to a sharp conclusion. A Policy to Be Regretted. ently helpless to defeat the scheme, he has nevertheless compelled lhe gang of boodlers who had the city at lheir mercy to abandon the steal and to re­ tire from tho light utterly routed. The effort of the gas company to force upon lhe city a contract worth 875,000,000 for .825,000,000 and to lie up the city government for seventy-five years- to said company was suddenly dropped and Lhe proposition withdrawn. Tbe triumph of the mayor was a tri­ umph of moral sentiment and public opinion. It gives eloquent testimony to the force of united popular sentiment when aroused to rightous anger and directed against the perpetrators of some great public wrong. The United Gas Improvement Company and the ring of politicians thal runs the govern­ ment of the Quaker City had conspired to defraud the taxpayers of millions of dollars and they had done it by forms of law aud by a regularity of proceeduru that made their position seem to them, doubtless impregnable. Hav­ ing passed their Infamous measure by a practically unanimous vole of the city government, they assumed at first an attitude of bold defiance. But when the outraged people of the city, backed by tbe sympathy of all good citizens in tho state, began to assert their man­ hood and to express their wrath in mass meetings, when tbe press and the pul pit joined hands in calling a halt upon tbe consummation of the proposed steal, when the councilmen were be­ sieged day and night by their terribly wrougbt-upconstituents, organized and entrenched rascality could not stand tbe pressure. Organized robbery was forced by pure public sentiment, em­ bodied and enforced by tbe mayor, to beat an ignominious retreat. There is hope for our republican in­ stitutions if the masses of decent citi* zenship can thus assert themselves. So long as public opinion can be kept sound und healthy, corruption and dis­ honesty will have limits beyond which they cannot go—and in this fact is based the hope of the republic. ’ Philadelphia’s Revolt. The revolt of the people of Phila­ delphia against political corruption in their municipal government is the one phase in the situation that relieves tbe picture of absolute and hopeless gloom. That city has long held first place among corrupt cities, even surpassing New York and Chicago in administra­ tive rottenness, and It is to be presumed that the honest citizens of the Pennsyl­ vania metropolis bad become so used to this slate of affairs that they were hope­ lessly resigned to what may have seemed a necessary evil. But even Philadelphians could not stand the latest infamy that han been heaped upon them, and under the in­ spiration of a bold nnd strong willed champion, Mayor Weaver, they have revolted against the domination of tbe politicians who have been so long ex­ ploiting the city’s offices for private gain. Tbe attempt to fasten a seventyfive year gas contract upon the city at a tremendous profit to the gas company and a corresponding loss to the taxpay­ ers has proved the last straw that has broken the back of public endurance and the whole city has been aroused to hot indignation and vigorous opposi­ tion. Mayor Weaver’s drastic action io removing two influential members of the city government who refused to aid him in his fight for the people’s inter­ ests, was a bold and masterly stroke, to break down tbe powerful organization of grafters. It caused a vast amount of bluster and threatening on the part of the republican machine, it is true, but if the mayor stands firm and the aroused sentiment of Lhe people isos genuine as it appears he will certainly win out. There Is no ring of politicians, how. ever powerful and well established In public power, that can resist the force of public opinion when that opinion is thoroughly awakened and in earnest, and tbe Philadelphians are showing an awakening that presages their vfetory over recreant public servants. In a great mass convention they have pledged “our life, liberty and sacred honor to tbe complete overthrow of des­ potic methods in municipal affairs and tbe restoration of American principles for which our fathers fought and which shall ever be our glory while we re­ main worthy to be called their chil­ dren.” It is to be fervently hoped that these descendants of u noble and patriotic ancestry will be true to their pledge aud redeem lhe city of the declaration of independence from the new tyranny of boodle and graft which Is even more odious than tbe despotism of George III. The action of tbe Ontario govern­ ment in deporting a number of Ameri­ can officials of the Pere Marquette rail­ road whose duties require them to re­ side in Canada may be tecbnlcelly de­ fensible. Possibly their residence in Dominion territory is in violation of the Canadian alien labor law. But such a course seems to be unnecessarily harsh aud short-sighted and is likely to lead to retaliation on the part of the Pere Marquette-company with regard to Canadian employes on this side of the border. It certainly seems unwise and un­ worthy of two English speaking peo­ ples, to Indulge in retaliatory and irri­ tating treatment of each other, wheth­ er we look at it from the sentimental or business standpoint. It surely is pleas­ anter as well as more profitable for two neighbors to live on amicable terms than to Insist jealously that each keep strictly on his own side of the fence, and St Is equally sensible and profitable for two neighboring countries like tbe United States and Canada to act with tbe same neighborliness. It is reported that the present treat­ ment of the American railroad em­ ployes Is simply a political manoeuvre without any personal feeling back of it; that the Canadian people are very friendly to the deported Americans and regret to have them go. This is no doubt tbe truth, but lhe act is none tbe less unfortunate, and though it leads to no international complications, it is a step towards international estrange­ ment when there ought to be inter­ national good will. Just how far we on this side of the boundary line are responsible for the present course of the Canadian govern­ ment might be open to some question, but there is no doubt that our present tiriff policy Is condusive of estrange­ ment and retaliation rather than inter­ ADDITIONAL LOCAL. national good will and commercial reci­ procity.

It seems .that a dog had got the needle into bis body in some way and had pulled it out with his teeth and left it lying on the floor. In pick­ ing it up Mrs. Wolfe met with what appeared to bo the slight accident of pricking her linger with the eye end of it. But it has proved io be a rather serious mishap. For the wound became so inflamed und painful that a doctor was called in to treat it. Finally 11 seemed to have become nearly well again. Monday she did tbe family washing and immediately her finger began to give her trouble again, and on the advice of her physician she went to Ann Arbor last night, accompanied by Mr. Wolfe, to have her case treated at tbe university hospital. Cyrus Buxton of Castleton township who died Sunday night was one of the sturdy race of pioneers who came into Barry county when it was still a wilder­ ness and by their pluck and industry transformed the forest covered, lake dotted land into a rich and prosperous agricultural county. He was born in Vermont and came to Castleton town­ ship Ln 1834. He was 90 years old at Lhe time of his death aud was noted for his eccentric ways. At one time he owned a thousand acres in Castleton township between Barryville and Nash-* rille. For many years he has lived alone, his wife having died forty years ago, but at tbe time of his death his daughter who lives in Detroit was slay­ ing with him. He wa^ the father of Alfred Buxton and Mrs. J. B. Marshall of Nashville, und Darius Buxton of Maple Grove. At tile North Dakota experiment sta­ tion ground oats nnd bran gave slight­ ly better results than unground oats and bran. This was found true at the Iowa experiment station. It is the opinion of horse breeders that colts, brood mares and horses with defective teeth do much better on ground feed. At tbe Maryland experiment station It was found that ground corn and oats were more thoroughly digested than the unground grain. RIBBONS Special values in ribbons. all colorsand widths.

When turnips or sllnge are fed to breeding ewes In tot liberal quantities weak iambs nre likely to result Before Inmblug three pounds of any succulent food, such as mangel wurzels, augur lieets, corn or clover silage, will be found sufficient After lambing unlimited quantities of these may be fed to stimulate the milk flow. The Oregon experiment station pub­ lishes tbe result of pigs on clover. It says: The value of clover pasture for growing pigs was tested with twelve animals about three months old. hur­ dled on twenty-six square rods of good clover pasturage. In three mouths there was a total gain of 253 pounds. According to the allowing, one acre of good clover for growing hogs repre­ sents a value of $44.30.

Crushed oats and good wheat bran mixed make an excellent grain ration for growing foals, says St. Louis Re­ public. Some mix It In equal propor­ tions, but most prefer two pints of oats to one of bran. Where crushed oats cannot be obtained mix the bran w|th whole ones In the proportion named. It is more economical to fin’d crushed outs than whole ones, especial­ ly if the colt eats so fast that he swal­ lows some of the grain whole, ns In such cases no nutriment is derived from those that are not masticated.

While the teamsters say they are fighting for justice, their treatment of other unions came in for severe cen­ sure at the hands of the Associated Building Trades of Cook county. Members of the Safe and Machinery Movers' Union, who were affiliated with the teamsters, are accused of erecting certain machinery after hauling it to new buildings, thereby depriving a sister union of the work, and a motion was adopted withhold­ ing moral and financial aid from the teamsters until such time as they make their peace with the building trades unions. A half-dozen of the building trades unions have. been compelled In the past to call strikes where the safe and machinery movers' local erected the machinery, and sucn strikes are now on at the Northwestern Railroad building and at the Chicago Saving* Bank building, State and Madison streets. The Elevator Constructors’ Union has been at war with this local of the teameters for nearly two year*, becauo the teamsters always placed or erected the elevator material they hauled to now buildings; while the carpenters went on strike more than a year ago when this same local of teamsters, after hauling material to tho Garfield Park terminal of the Metropolitan elevated road, erected the scaffolding and other necessary app'tanccs and forced tbe carpenters off lhe job. The carpenters afterward secured this work. DEATH OF GREAT BANKER OCCURS AT PARIS HOME Baron Alphonse de Rothschild, Head of French Branch of Family, Die* cf Acute Bronchitis.

Chicago, May 27.—Dun's review of local trade conditions In Chicago has this to say of the pre eat situation: ‘The worst feature of the business situation is entirely due to further spreading of labor troubles.

"Except the local disturbance trade generally exhibited strong tone throughout tho Chicago district and the indications are good for continued industrial prosperity with the present difficulty removed.

The markets for hides and leather exhibit steadiness In demand and prices, with deliveries still large.
