Wire worms are playing havoc with
the corn in Saginaw County.
The controlling interest in the Blue
Iron mine, adjoining the Schlesinger
property, has been sold to Cleveland par-
ties for 500, 900.
Up at the $500" according to the
Herald, the feeling is so bitter against q
customs officer for seizing Some smuggled
goods that a scheme TO duck him in the
riN or was seriously discussed.
Lansing dispatch A State confer
ence of the Patrons of Industry has been
called at Lansing for the last week III
July. This means that the vast organizl-
tion, which sprang up almost in a night
and now has 1000 local associations and
membership of 10000 in Michigan
alone, is about to dip into politics. Or
ganized at the outset chiefly for the pur-
pose of requiring merchants to sell to its
mcmbers at 10 per cent above the cos
of their goods, it quickly shot up to pro-
portions that almost took awoy the
breath of its promoters, and with its
growth took turn that had not been
contemplated. For several months the
| force the order into politics, until the
leaders have yielded to the pressure and
have called the conference as O measure
OF self-protection. Tne orler is COM
posed almost exclusively of farmers and
mech mics, and if handled effectively can
easily hold the balance Of power in the
fall clmpaign. Two courses will be con-
sidered by the conference. One is to
steer clear of the old parties and go into
politics as an Independent organization.
The other is 10 ex rct pledges from the old
party candidates, and support only those
who will indorse the Patrons of Industry
principles. 1t is sIid semi-officially that
a majority of the patrons favor indorsing
ex- Congressman Z. b. Winans, q farmer,
nd Democratic candidate for Gov
ernor, but Azarinh S. Partridge, of Gen.
esee County, Grand Master of the
Patrons of Industry in Michigan, also
has On itching for the gubernatorial
nomination. On the whole, the State
conference is likely to prove an extremely
lively affair.

norapt and oficious officer, q Depui,
United States Marshal interfered b,

: the collection was stopped aud the ole
people are destitute.
