Ex-Gov. Josiah Begole Passes Away at
Flint at the Age of 81 Years.
Ex-Gov. Bcgolc Is Dead.

Hon. Josiah w. Begole, ex-governor

came to Flint which was then an un-
broken wilderness. In the spring of
1889 he married Miss Harriet A. Miles,
q most estimable lady, and who sur
wives her husband. At the breaking

A dispatch from Timptson, Tex, says
that while the Rev. Mr.. Rhodes, living
twelve miles from there, was doing his
plowing he unearthed 10000 Mexican
dollars. This is a splendid story and
is worthy Of the front page of morn
ing paper, except that it comes from
the wrong section of the country, hav-
ing since time immemorial always been
the offspring of Indiana. 1t therefore
seems trifle indelicate of the Texans
to try and make fame out of a story
that has risen in the world through
the assiduous toll of Indiana corre-
spondents. There are, however, two
radical departures in the story. The
one is making the money Mexican in
stead of continental, and the other is
introducing minister in the star role
and giving the story the prestige of the
cloth.

White-capping is expensive amuse-
ment in Ohio. Several months ago the
Schad family were brutally treated by
night-riders. The injured people caus-
ed several arrests, and fines were paid
for the criminal offenses. Then Jacob
Schad and wife Catharine, son Henry
and daughter Rosa sued Andrew, Peter
and Frank Schwenderman and John
and Joseph Koerns for $4,000 for in
juries received in the outrage. Last
week the Schads settled with the de-
PENDANTS on the payment of 81, 900, the
fines, costs and the settlement of the
civil suits amounting to the close
neighborhood of $4,000.

Happily the little girl OF Louisville
who was pronounced dead by a doctor
was found to be alive before the burial
could take place. There are some cities
that provide against the burial of liv-
ing persons. In Dover, N. H., the at
tending physician is required to make
a special examination. In almost all
German towns and cities there are
houses for the deposit of bodies, and
these are constantly visited by inspect
ing physicians. No body should ever
be buried until death is certain beyond
the possibility of doubt.

June CrOD Rcuort,

The June crop report says that the
average condition of wheat June in
the state was ~, as compared with 92
on May 1. One year ago the average
was 73. The recent cool weather and
heavy rains have been beneficial, but
it is beyond question that the crop is
seriously and permanently injured by
IIessian fly, rust and other causes.
The acreage planted to corn fully
equals, and the acreage sowed to oats
is per cent less than in average years
In condition, oats are nearly full
average. The average condition of
meadows and pastures is SO. Glover
sowed this year is in good condition.
Apples promise about 90 per cent and
peaches 81 per cent of average crops.
The farm statistics of 7ss townships,
indicate that the number of sheep now
on hand in the state is 80 per cent less
than those sheared in 1895. Average
wages of farm hands for the state now
are lower than one year ago in each sec
ton of the state.

How few there are who really ap
preciate the value OF newspaper in
their home town. How little do
they realize its great worth in every
sense of the word toward advancing
the future welfare and prosperity OF
the entire community. 1t brings to
the town many dollars that would
otherwise never be brought here. A
home paper is in no sense a child of
charity. 1t earns twice over every
dollar it receives and is second to no
enterprise in contributing to the up
building of a town or community. Its
patrons reap far more benefits from
its columns than does the publisher,
and in calling for the support of the
people of the community in which it
is published it asks no more than in
all fairness belongs to it, though it
generally receives less.

HE LIVES WIThOUT SLEEP.
Existed Month and Challenges Any Other
Man 10 do Likewise.

A novel challenge to the whole
world has been issued by John Sulli-
van, an employe of the Swedes iron
furnace at Norristown. He has lived
for 80 days without sleeping minute,
and he wants to wager that no one
else IN the wide world can accomplish
a similar feat.
Some time ago Sullivan conceived
the idea of subjecting himself to a test
to ascertain how long he could live
without sleep, and suffer no distress
as a result of continually keeping his
eyes open.
His period of sleeplessness began
March /, and he did not close his
eyelids once during the remainder of
that month, except to wink. Ten
weeks have elapsed since his month
without sleep, and he AYERS that at no
time during March nor since has he
felt any evil effects ofhis singular feat.
Sullivan is IS years old, and has
wife and six children. He says that
during the long period of sleeplessness
he worked alternately each week in
the furnace, on night and day turns.
When he was employed by day he
kept himself awake nights by reading
intensely interesting fiction, and when
working nights he devoted the greater
part Of the day moving about in the
open air.
He never, he says, experienced an
inordinate desire for sleep. He had
a good appetite, but abstained from
drinking tea and coffee. Having
satisfied himself that he can exist
comfortably 80 days and nights with
out sleep, he challenges any man in
the world to perform the same feat,
each to walk a mile every hour during
the thirty days.

that Richard Henry Lee arose in the
Continental Congress at Philadelphia
and offered the resolution That
these United States are, and of right

States" John Adams seconded it,
and the Fourth of July was made
possible. June IA of the next year
the Stars and Stripes had their birth
in the same old Quaker City. 1t was
on June IS, I775 that George Wash
ington was appointed commander-in-
chief of the armies of the Continental
Congress. Two days later, June II,
I775, occurred that little affair that
made it necessary for us to build the
Bunker Hill monument, and it was
June IS, 1878 that General Clinton
evacuated Philadelphia and concen-
trated his army at New York, and
Philadelphia was never again occupied
by British force.

Why Horses' Knees Become Bent.

Much difference of opinion exists
as to the cause of bent knees in
horses. One eminent authority thinks
it almost Invariably due to corns or
other diseases of the hind portion OF
the foot, which induces the animals
to ease his heels. The back tendon
thereby are relieved and contraction
of the back tendons followed through
disuse. Prof. Almond, at recent
meeting of veterinarians in London,
expressed different view. His ex-
perience leads him to conclude that
one of the most common causes of
bent knees in young horses is their
being tied up in stalls where the front
OF the standing ground is higher than
the back. He believes there is no
more prolific source of the mischief
than "the constrained endeavor of
the horse to maintain its position high
in front" If horse subject to such
conditions were let loose, it invariably
would turn round and place its fore
feet on the lowest part of the ground.
1t is matter of common observation
that horses standing at ease in slop-
ing field always do so facing down
ward. Prof. Almond is convinced
from his experience that a horse
never should be compelled to stand
tor any length of time higher in front
than behind.

Why All Hhis Nonsanta2

In the Fleming trial at New York,
there was great difficulty in getting a
jury. But that is not strange. The
series OF Knockout questions that are
hred at the talesmen are calculated to
be Summers even to the mind of the
most clever logician. In fact, some of
the interogatlons put to the jurymen
are as clear as mud. Here is one for
instance; "Suppose the court should
charge that in order to justify the in
ference of legal guilt from circumstan.
tldl evidence the existence of the in.
culpatory facts must be absolutely in
compatible with the innocence of the
accused. Do you get any clear idea
from that1'
Now, the average juror will at once
fall flat or go into an epileptic fit,
when confronted by such astounding
rhetoric. If he tries to answer it he
founders right then and there, and of
course he is excused.
Here are some other questions put
to the Fleming case jurors:
"Suppose the Court should charge
that the jury are at liberty to draw
such inferences or conclusions as they
find flow naturally from the facts prov
en- in the case, what would you under
stand by that p
"Suppose the court should charge
that, in order to justify the inference
of legal guilt from clrcumstantial evi-
dence, the existence of the inculpatory
facts must be absolutely incompatible
with the innocence of the accused. Do
you get any clear idea from that?'
"What would you understand should
the court charge as follows: The adj
mlnistratlon of the criminal law is es-
sentially dependent in large degree
necessarily on the existence of circum-
stances for sustaining criminal charges.
What would you understand by that2"
'Should the court charge, You are
not to be perverted from a true YER
dict by a capricious doubt springing
from mere Incidence, what would
you understand p
SIN case you should be accepted as
a juror, If the court should charge, 1T
will be the duty Of the jury to recon-
cile conflicting statements ofwitnesses
rather than assume that the conflict
ing testimony arose from the fact that
perjury had been committed by one
or more of the Witnesses what mean.
would that convey to you7'
The Fleming jury, when once it is
secured, after such jugglery of ques-
tioning, will be one ofthe most erudite
bodies of men that has ever been
called upon to determine the guilt or
innocence of human being. "Clear
ideas they will have in abundance, but
people will nevertheless ask: Why all
this nonsense in getting jury3-AA
