"A telegram has been received at Ply
mouth from Eaton, Col, announcing the
death of Miss Susie Jackson, who went
thither about eighteen months ago in
hopes of benefting her consumptive ten
dencies, with the above fatal result. She
was 81 years of age and highly esteemed
--0ne of the teams employed on the
stage route between Damon and Beaver
lake fell dead, one on the road and the
other about eighty rods away from the
place where the first one dropped. 1t
seems their death was caused by the tre-
mendous heat.
AT the commencement exercises of
the Michigan State Normal School at
Ypsilanti ll6 students graduated, and of
that number 100 had secured positions in
State schools before they graduated.
This makes noble record for the Normal.
Lake County had jail-such as it
was-but it burned up the other day and

originally.
The new postoffice building, the
Dockery building and the Rothschild

The matter of establishing q great
clinical school in Detroit as department
of the University of Michigan, which has
long agitated the people of the State, has
finally taken definite form and will doubt
less soon be realized. The new move
ment is to raise 5000, 900, to be placed in
the hands of the Regents to be used for
the establishment of such clinical de-
partment. Moses w. Field promises
500, 900, Gen. Alger 2l0, 900, and six 9TH
ers amounts swelling the total to $50, 900
already.
There has been brought to public no.
tice Mt Detroit l6-year-old forger, whose
career is almost without q parallel. She
is the daughter of Joseph Martin, re-
spectacle builder, and is known as Ismi
Martin and as Miss Bagg, the latter name
being assumed for purposes of deceit.
Her first move was to secure desk room a
few weeks ago in the Office of an advertis-
ing firm. Once established there she bo-
gan Systematically to extend her acquaint-
ance as an apparently trusted employe of
the firm. One evening she dropped into
an office adjoining where she worked, said
she had small check which her employ
ers could not cash, as they had made their
deposit for the day. The check, she ex-
planned, was for money belonging to her
self, her mother, and her brother, and re-
quired the Endorsement of all three. If
they would cash the check she would have
it indorsed in the morning. The check
was cashed. Next morning the girl
called again on her accommodating
friend and said her mother was
lt the advertising agents, next
door, and would indorse the check there
If 1t could be had for moment The
check was given up, and that was the last
seen of it or Ismi Martin by her friend.
This same movement was repeated in sew
eral Offices. Her most remarkable ex-
plot, however, was an attempt to collect
$3.50 of New York correspondent of the
firm. A telegram was received at the 4
office saying that certain dispatch to the
had not been delivered, as
he was out of town. No telegram had
been sent him by a member of the firm
and an investigation was made. This re-
suited in showing that the girl had sent
the following telegram to the firms New
York correspondents: "If we do not re-
ceive your draft by 3 o'clock we will FORE
close" For these and many other like
attempts to get money the girl had but
one excuse-that she had told her mother
she was at work, getting SO week-and,
therefore, she felt obliged to obtain at
east that amount Of money in that way
zach week.
