he was within a few PAGES Of q real

Of the supposed game. The first bullet
glanced of the cartridge belt Of Baron

The following sketch of the life of
Joseph Weir Ewing, NJ. A., professor of
Physics III Alma college is taken from
the Michigan Presbyterian, published in
Detroit:
Very few Presbyterian elders in
Michigan are more widely or more IA
vorably known in the Synod than Prof.
j. w. Ewing. of Alma. As an educator,
he takes rank among the very first in
Michigan. For nearly thirty years he
has been teaching III this state, always
III prominent positions, and he has al
ways been 70 the fore in state teachers
meetings and institutes. II is not too
much to say that Prof. Ewing has been
instrumental in grating on TO the cdu-
catiOnal system Of this state several
features which are today esteemed most
valuable. His perfect familiarity with
school organization and management
marked him as one well fitted TO assist
in the establishment Of the projected
Presbyterian college, SO that at the
very outset he was called to the chair
OF Physics in Alma college. Since
lSS, he has labored indefatigably for
the success of this institution, which
lies SO near the heart of every PreSby-
terrain in Michigan. II has been with
him Il labor OF love, for next 10 being Il
good Christian, Prof. Ewing is Il good
Presbyterian. He came Of the sturd <
Scotch COvenantor stock. and wa
thus by nature fitted TO make Presby
terrain Of the staunchest sort He has
been an elder almost continuously since
he began teaching in 1864. He has
been good Presbyterian, never missing
Il meeting of Session and faithful in
attendance upon Prcsbytcry and Synod.
He was a member Of the Washington
Assembly
Prof. Ewing was born in Illinois, in
the vicinity Of Sparta. some sixty years
ago. He was graduated from the Uni
versity of Michigan in the class of 81.
KS many another young man, he was
compelled to work his way through
college, and so today he is eminently
fitted TO sympathize with those young
men at Alma college whose finances are
in chronic state Of bankruptcy. During
his senior year at Ann Arbor, he sup
ported himself by teaching in the Monroe
high school, while keeping up his studies
at college. Upon his graduation he was
called to the superintondency of the
schools in Perrysburg, o. After three
years he was called TO take charge of the
schools of Saginaw City, where ne
remained until 1871. when he was called
TO lonia. Here nc did his lifc-work.
teaching continuously. except two years,
until 81, when he was called To Nina
college. The Ionia schools bear to this
day the impress of the excellent work he
did i'm them.
The activity Of Prof. Ewing has non
been limited to public school work, for

MARKET REPORT.
Our State Tax.

From Hastings Banner.
The democratic press of the state
is making vigorous howl about state
taxes being so much higher this year
than last year. They are very much
higher this year than last year, we
will admit. In 1894 the state tax
was something like $4,000 for this
county while this year it is $4,000.
Why is this?
LIST. Everyone knows that taxes
are always higher in those years in
which the Legislature meets. The
tax of 1894 covered no expense Of
the meeting Of the Legislature while
the tax this year, 1898, will cover 1t
all.
md. The "Squawbuck" legisla-
ture Of 1891 left deficiencies which
amounted TO 100000. The treasury
balance was also impaired $257 GOO,
making in all over 81, 100000, which
had TO be paid sooner or later. The
present administration decided to
wipe everything right out, and com
mence with clean sheet.
This only affords the people
another evidence of what democratic
legislation means. We all apprecl-
ate what it'has been in the national
government. We can see what 1t Is
now in the state government. We
commend the action of the present
administration in wanting to start
out with clean sheet. The people
now know what democratic rule
means in both nation and state.
They have shown their faith in the
grand old party, which will continue
IN power for 30 or 40 years more
when perhaps, The people may want
another "change." With the proud
record of the past, it is no wonder
that state officials want TO start out
with a clean sheet, with none of the
democratic expensive blunders star
ing them in the face. This howl
about state taxes will deceive no
one.
