An eminent medical authority asserts
that sudden immersion of tho body in

Fiery condiments, like horse radish, red

United States Senator John Patton,
Jr., the friend and successor of the la
mented and beloved Stockbridge, the
colleague of the Republican party's
splendid leader, James Mcmillan, has
now represented Michigan in the upper
house of congress less than three
months during which he could scarcely
be expected to gain great prominence
or accomplish great material results for
his constituents, yet even in that short
period he has demonstrated to the criti-
cal people of q great state his eminent
fitness for the responsibilities of the
position he was called upon, in most
trying time, to fill.
Selected by Governor Rich from a
list of candidates that included some of
Michigan's foremost statesmen, he has
already by devotion to duty and by the
manifestation of unusual ability given
ample proof of the wisdom of the APP
pointment.
Possessed of sterling qualities of mind
and heart, he has taken high rank in
the senate, has already accomplished
results for his state and has fully real
lied the expectations of his friends who
look upon him as one of the future
leaders of his party in the state and ma
ton.
In the prime of manhood, conscien-
tious and fearless in the discharge of
the obligations of citizenship, an enter
prising and progressive citizen, a
trained lawyer, keen, successful bust
ness man who by his own efforts has
made for himself modest competency,
a close student of affairs, stalwart
Republican thoroughly imbued with
the principles of the grand old party
that has done so much toward the up
building of our country, an eloquent
speaker, and one of the most polished
orators of the state-his selection by
Governor Rich was striking recogni-
ton of acknowledged merit.
Senator Patton's popularity was at
tested by the character of the endorse
ments with which the governor was
flooded, and which came from repre-
sentative Republicans in nearly every
section of the commonwealth.
Senator Patton has never before held
an office, and although deeply interest
ed at all times in political affairs and in
the success of his party, his work in its
behalf has been of a quiet nature, al
though none the less effective. OF
retiring disposition, content, until APP
pointed to his present position, to re-
main in the ranks, his acquaintance out
side of the western part of the state has
been necessarily restricted.
His home papers accepted his APP
pointment in the heartiest and most
cordial spirit.

THE FANMAKER.

Spangles wax rather than wane. There
arc few fans that do not sparkle in their
light.
The latest novelty in fans has the outer
sticks gradually and definitely widening
and deliberately carved.
In the cheaper priced fans of ostrich
feathers the lack of length and abundance
of tho fllaments are counteracted by mark
ed crispness at the edges.
Fans from the two great conters of
France and Austria thus early In the sea-
son disclose smaller proportions. The fans
of last season ran from 12 to 10 inches.
Tho most expensive fans are still of os-
trich feathers. These are larger than the
fans of gauze and silk and superbly mount
cd on sticks of pearl and ivory. An extra
curl is given to the feathers edges. Sew

Party Pledges.

The Democrats, according to their
own statement, have redeemed all their
party pledges. It will be in order then
to disband the party at once, as the pub
lie will not be able to find further use
for it.

of Japan and actual head of the empire,

strikes the nation ever knew; that has
spent q whole year in an endeavor to re-

Voters of Henry county, remember the
fall of 1892, when Mr.. de Almond asked
you for your votes; recollect the price
you got for your wheat; remember the
demand for labor, the busy workshops,
furnaces and factories, the hum Of bust
ness on every hand, the prosperity Of
the whole country. Then think of wheat
now; think of the millions of honest
workers out Of employment, the suffer
ing of thousands who are without bread,
the condition of financial affairs, and
when he tells you all this was caused
by the Republican party and will be
changed when you give him another
chance ask him for God s sake how long
it will take. Ask him what has been
done during the year he has had
chance. Demand of him to point to O
thing he has done to benefit the people
of Henry county. Ask for the time and
place where he has raised his voice in
the interest Of his constituents. De-
mand the measure he has Endorsed, ex-
cept the reduction Of pensions; that has
saved the nation dollar; that has re.
duced the price of an article you pur"
chase or has advanced the price Of a
thing you sell.
Gather around your representative,
you men Of Henry county. Give him
hearty welcome. He needs it. Praise
him for the many blessings he and his
party have bestowed upon you, for the
"dishonored" congress of which he is q
member; help him open his campaign
for reelection with whoop and hurrah,
and then go home and try to look
your 10-year-old boy in the face with
out blush of shame and disappoint-
ment. Try to find a single excuse, a
single reason, why you should further

the Mckinley law was about 81. 81. The
Walker tariff of 1854 was So. 46-not so
much difference, after all. Counting the
low prices, the Sugar trust tariff will
prove more expensive to the people than

NEW YORK, Jan. 31.-There was an
approach to stagnation at the Stock

At the opening of business prices were
higher, except for Union Pacific. which
was depressed on sales for London &C

and Junior mortgage holders will have
to be prepared to mako sacrifices under
the new reorganization plan. An as
sessment OF anywhere from $40 to S25 is
looked for on the stock, which fell to

sold between five and six thousand
shares. Distilling and Cattle Feeding
was another weak spot, the refusal Of
the House to increase the tax on whis-
key having caused q decline from 26X
to 25 Is on sales OF 1000 shares. The
general list cut loose from the stocks
named and advanced anywhere from Il
to 3s6 per cent, Delaware and Hudson
leading. This stock sold up to 1858 on
the publication of the preliminary re-
port for 1893, which shows nearly 116
earned on the stock.
The Vanderbilts displayed more
strength and advanced u to 81, the
latter in Nickel Plate first preferred.
Louisville and Nashville and other
Southern stocks were com paratively
hrmer than the remainder of the list,
the Vanderbilts excepted. Railway and
business matters according to some
authorities, are looking up in the South

to buying orders. The changes in the
active stocks outside of those mentioned

Detroit.
A boy 10 years old suddenly appeared OH
Monroe avenue, near Randolph street, the
other forenoon with II rattrap held high in
his hand. The trap contained u rattan old
veteran-who had probably eaten 20 times
his weight i'll Michigan cheese For years
and years he had been too fly for those who
sought his destruction, but the pitcher had
gone to the well once too often He was
squealng and squirming about, but there
was no one TO pity. The boy had scarcely
gained the street when there was a rush for
him, and men and boys were heard shout
ing:
Hes got rat!''
''Lcmme git my dog!'
Good gracious, what II whopper!"
Don't let him git awayp'
The man who knows all about rats WIS

Three or four dogs were brought into the

boss the job also got off Il street car and ell
bowed his way in to demands:

Now, then, everybody stand back. Gimme

The boy demurred. 1t was his trap and
his rat. He felt that he ought to be con-
suited.

crowd.

Somebody hit the man with red neck

Apoiccman now appeared. He began to
use his official elbows to open.a path for his
body, but the crowd resented the action
and began to hustle him until he threat
encd to collar some one. Meanwhile the
two men who knew ull about rats were Jaw
ing with the man who wanted to boss the
job, and the boy was declaring that his
brother would lick the man who stole his
rodent

The crowd began to circle around and
the boy fell down and lost his trap. Some
one picked it up and shook the rat out, and
dogs and men and boys were all mixed up
and falling over each other. In the conf,l-
sion the rat got away into the sewer the
policeman raped three men on the back
with his club and the crowd dissolved,
leaving about Il dozen hats kicking around
