The most beautiful spot in Muskegon is In.
Oeparably associated with the name OF Hack
ley, and in all Western Michigan there is not
name better known, and among the studious
and those interested in deeds of philanthropy,
this name is known and admired Chas. H.
Hackley has been in the lumber business con-
tinuously since 1885, and in that time has
amassed fortune, which gives him rating
among the wealthy men of the nation. But
with wealth there did not come that tightening
Of the purse-strings which is generally Q
marked characteristic of wealthy men.
There is no prettier spot in the State than
Hackley Park in square surrounded and
pierced by stone walls, emphasizing with their
whiteness the green of faultlessly kept lawns,
its browning pride towering soldiers monu-
ment on the top of which stands bronze figure
pointing ever in remembrance of the heroes
who died that tho nation might live. Sur
rounding this park are the magnificent Hack.
ley Public Library-a poem in granite-with
its $4,000 volumes, and the equally stately
Hackley school, like beehive with it's 600
children. Other elegant buildings testify like
wise to the iberality and muniicence of this
man who has pulled wealth out Of the forests
of Michigan.
1t is no wonder then that the name of Chas.
H. Hackley is known at home and abroad.
His munifcence to Muskegon alone represents
IN outlay of nearly half q million. For the
past twenty years he has been constant suf.
ferer from neuralgia and rheumatism, also
numbness of the lower limbs, so much
90 that it has seriously interfered with his
pleasure in life. For some time past his
friends have noticed that he has seemed to
grow young again, and to have recovered the
health which he had in youth.
To correspondent of the Press, Mr.. Hack.
ley explained the secret of his transformation,
and to his friends who have known how he
suffered it is. indeed transformation. II
have suffered for over twenty years, " he said,
seated in his private Office, with pains in my
lower limbs SO severely that the only relief I
could get at night was by putting cold water
congresses on my limbs. I was bothered more
ct night than in the day time. The neuralgia
and rheumatic pains in my limbs, which had
been growing in intensity for years, finally. be-
game chronic. / made three trips to the Hot

SAY 1T WAS PREMATURE
What the Sheriff and District Attorney Say Of
the Bank Robbery Expose

w hos ZIG DSlTlCt attorney say OF
the Bank Robbery Expose
There was an air of gloom about the
office of the sheriff and the district at
torney yesterday, caused by what they
claimed to be the premature expose by
the police officials of the big scheme to
rob the First national bank, as publish
ed in The Herald yesterday morning.
Under Sheriff Clements said that when
he learned Of the plot some days ago he
made an investigation, and. after con-
ferring with District Attorney Donnell,
called on the chief of police and told
him what he had discovered, at the
same time telling him that the sheriff s
office wished to work in harmony with
the police department and endeavor to
catch the robbers. He said that from
his information he was morally certain
that he knew the men who were engaged
in the job, and thought that with proper
management they could have been cap
tured. He still had hopes of catching
the men. and for this reason he did not
feel at liberty to give out any informa
ton IN his possession. He said that he
did not wish to criticise the police de-
partment, nor to say anything that
would cause any hard feelings but at
the same time he could not but think
tnat the trap had been sprung too soon
the thieves had been greatly lessened

been discovered some days ago by work.
men who were excavating for a foun-
dation and that they had notified the
bank officials, who in turn had told the
police. He said that he had got his in
formation from another source and had
then told the bank officials. He thought
at the time that the Pinkerton agency
which has charge of all work of this
KIND for national banks, should have
been notified. but this was not done for
the reason that it was feared that the
arrival of Pinkerton detectives would
have frightened off the robbers. The
eheriff's office. he said. had not given up
hope. and would still try to get the men.
District Attorney Donnell said he was
greatly surprised when he saw the ac-
count in the morning papers. He had
been notified by the sheriff some DAYS
ago and had since been in consultation
with them. Maj. Donnell said that he
know great deal more than had been
published, but as there was still a chance
to get the robbers he did not feel Justified

time Criminals could not be hunted

The opposition will be a hopeless minority
in the convention, and at the meeting Of

ably make no attempt to upset the plans
of Senator Quay and his friends. There is
no sentiment among any of the delegates

friends, there is q strong sentiment
through the state for the Ohioan, it has
not made itself felt here.
The reform plank of the platform will be
strong one, and the essential features of four
acts of assembly designed to carry out Senator
Quay's ideas in opposition to the use of
money in politics" and in favor of improved
civil service and better municipal govern
ment will be incorporated in the platform.
These measures go further and are more
radical than anything of the kind ever asked
for by reformers
