Who yielded all for freedoms laws
And wavered not when in the strife,
But led her armies on

His glory rests not in the grave;
That shines forever on.

Long. long he toiled that they might find
Their pathway from the tyrant freed,

All pleasure comes, all pleasure goes,
For him who presses through the fame
And leads his comrades on.

Observation-Disclosures
ATTORNEY GENERAL ELLIS HAS
INVESTIGATED.
Sheriff Jacobs. of Shiawassee County
Charged With sympathy with the Mob
and His RemnXuI Recommended.

Attorney-General Ellis after long
delay has taken action in the Corunna
lynching case. AS a result of his in
vestigations he has filed q complaint
with the Governor against William Il.
Jacobs, sheriff of Shiawassee county.
The complaint is sworn to by George
Cook, of Lansing, a brother-in-law of
William L. Sullivan, the man charged
with the murder of Layton Leech, and
who was lynched by the mob at CO.
runna. 1t is endorsed by Prosecuting
Attorney Watson, of Shiawassee
county, who certifies that he has eX-
amined the complaint, and in hls opiu-
ion the case demands investigation.
The complaint is drawn under the stat
ute providing for the removal by the
governor OF the county officers in GER
tain cases. Three grounds are charged
in the complaint:
First, that Jacobs is incompetent to
execute properly the duties of his of
flee. His lack of effort TO protect the
life of Sullivan in this particular
instance as in the other counts
Second, that he has been guilty of
official misconduct in the discharge,
and in neglecting to discharge his
official duties.
Third, that he has been guilty of
willful neglect of his duties as sheriff
of Shiawassee county.
1t is stated in the complaint that inn
mediately after the hanging, Jacobs
asked what would be done, and he
notified the party inquiring In sub
stance that nothing would be done,
because the parties who had done the
hanging were all friends of his.
The governor will probably order the
Encouragement or Prosecuting-Attor-
ney Watson TO conduct an investlga-
tion and if Jacobs is found guilty as
charged he will be promptly removed
from Office.

WEEKLY TRADE REVIEW.

NEW YORK, Oct. Or. G.. Dun & Co. 3
weekly review of trade says: IL Is diff
cult to detect any signs of Improvement.
While there has been some addition 10 the
number of manufacturing establishments
and the numUe of hands at work IL is be-
coming painfully clear that the or ers OBJ
tanned DO not sun ce to keep employed at
full time even the limited force at present
engaged. Reports from other cities disclose
a distinct check in business There is on
the whole less activity and less confidence
regardin ing the future and this is in many
cases attributed TO the uncertainty regard
ing the monetary future which delay In the
Senate causes. The stock OF money in New
DIRK banks has increased rapidly. and the
retirement of clearing house certificates
here and at other cities shows great lm-
provement In the monetary situation. The
movement of wheat has been fairly large,
and the price has declined, while corn has
also yielded. Cotton Is higher, without dis
tinct reasons In crop prospects, and pork
produ It's are also somewhat higher. IL Is
possible that the surplus currency In circu-
lation has its natural effect in stimulating
speculative activity. Happily the changes
thus far have not diminished the exports OF
products, which continue fairly large.
Failures continue TO decrease in number
and Importance, though not as much as has
been hoped. The number reported In the
United States during the past week has
been 320 against lsl for the same week last
year. The disposition TO include all bank
Ing and fnanclal failures with those OF
commercial and manufacturing concerns
during the past year has led to statements
which do much injustice to mercactlle i'm

erected at Olivet was instantly killed
by portion of the west wall falling.
The recent heavy rains had weakened
the newly laid stones. AS the wall
slipped the unfortunate man, who was
at work on the scaffolding near the

TO save himself by grasping the wall.
In so-doing he left place of safety for
one of certain death, and fell some 40
feet TO the ground, where he was
buried beneath mass of stone. He

Justice Longs Pension Again.

Justice Long, of the Michigan SUI
preme court, who was dropped from
the pension rolls by Commission Loeb
rem. has applied for a mandamus to the
United states supreme court of the
District of Columbia to compel the
commissioner to reinstate him. In his
petition, the judge says he has received
no official notice that he had been
dropped, and he was therefore given
no opportunity to make statement of
his side of the case; and says the sus-
pension was not made on the author
ity of the secretary of the interior.
After describing the nature of his
wounds, Justice Long says the commits
sioner has no authority under the rules
of the department, the law or the con-
stitution of the United States to sus-
pend pensioners without first giving
the pensioners a hearing. This is to
be test case.

washtenaw,s Sensational WIN Contest.

Leonard Il. Roster, of Webster, has
begun suit in the circuit court at Ann
Arbor, through his attorneys, TO con-
test the will of his father. The bill
filed in the case alleges that his broth
ers, sisters and relatives, viz, George
b. Roster, William f. Roster, Clara ID.
Roster, Lottie Roster Alley, Writ Cush-
ing and Ella Cushing, years ago en-
tered into a conspiracy to cheat him
out of his share of his fathers estate.
The complainant is 43 years old and up
to 1879 worked for his father on his
farm in Webster. In November of
that year, although perfectly sane, he
was declared insane and confined in
the Eastern Michigan insane asylum
at Pontiac. He remainded there 10
years and escaped last August. The
alleged conspirators had him taken
back, but his ODD friends secured his
release and since then his relatives
have refused TO recognize him or give
assistance.
The complainant asserts that his
father died in December, 1890, and left
an estate of SCI, 900. He claims that
his father was morphine eater and
incapable of making a will legally, yet
after his death will was probated
which the complainant AYERS was made
by undue influence over the father, by
those whom he complains have con-
spired against him. In this will Leo
nard b. Roster gets but So The pc
culiar feature of the case is that the
will has been probated and the estate
divided up, the complainant receiving
no share of it, nor having a guardian
appointed to act for him, nor he even
notified that the will was to be pro-
bated. These acts, he claims, were all
done in carrying out the conspiracy
charged.
