Wire worms are playing havoc with
the corn in Saginaw County.
The controlling interest in the Blue
Iron mine, adjoining the SchlesingeI
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
customs officer for Selling some Struggled
goods that a scheme TO duck him in the
ri Ser 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 organiza-
ton, which sprang up almost in night
and now has 1000 local associations and
membership of 900 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
members at 10 per cent. above the cos
of their goods, it quickly shot up 10 pro-
portions that almost took away the
breath of its promoters, and with its
growth took turn that had not been
contemplated. For several months the
more radical element has been seeking to
force the order into politics, until the
leaders have yielded to the pressure aud
have cal ed the conference as a measure
of self-protection. the orler is COM
posed almost exclusively of farmers and
mech ,ncs, and if handled effectively can
easily hold the balance of power in the
! fall campaign. 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 TO exact pledges from the old
party candidates, and support only those
who will indorse the Patrons of Industry
a majority of the patrons favor indorsing
ex- Congressman L. Il. Winans, farmer,
and Democratic candidate for Gov
ernor but Azariah S. Partridge, of Gen.
esee County, Grand Master of the
Patrons of Industry in Michigan, also
has an itching for the gubernatorial
nomination. On the whole. the State
conference is likely to prove an extremely
lively affair.

"A small house belon ging to Ignas
Glacial at Bessemer burned the other
day. and little girl aged three years lost
her life in the fire. The family lost
everything it owned. A large number Of
voluntary contributions were offered and
a travelling man put in $50 and started
through the crowd with his hat. An ig-
norant and oficious officer, Deputy
United States Marshal, interfered by
saying, Here" as he slapped the col
lector's shoulder, II am Deputy United
States Marshal, and 1 don't want any
more collecting here" The feeling ran
J SO high against the officer that he left the
